The Biden administration is confident Israel has moved, ever so slightly, closer to its view that there must be humanitarian pauses throughout the war against Hamas to help civilians, senior U.S. officials said.For weeks, the U.S. has engaged in a flurry of diplomacy with Israel to push for temporary halts in fighting so hostages can be safely rescued, Palestinians in Gaza can move freely and humanitarian aid can get into the enclave. A chasm has persisted between the two countries, as Israeli leaders insisted any pause would benefit Hamas, the militant group that killed 1,400 people in Israel on Oct. 7.But Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu appeared to shift his stance during a Monday night interview.“There’ll be no cease-fire, general cease-fire, in Gaza without the release of our hostages,” he told ABC News’ David Muir, repeating Israel’s long-held stance. But Netanyahu added: “As far as tactical little pauses, an hour here, an hour there. We’ve had them before, ...

Falling Temperatures, Then Falling Flakes?

Published Fri, 01 Nov 2024 20:33:05 GMT

Hopefully you enjoyed the mild November air we had today with temperatures soaring to the upper 60s in many towns. But as soon as the mild air surged into New England, it’s on its way out. In fact after our midday sunshine, you probably noticed a few clouds build back in. Out of those clouds were a few sprinkles. Those clouds, and those sprinkles, were the cold front that will send temperatures back below average tomorrow. The good news is we’ll have a ton of sunshine, but temperatures will be stuck in the 40s and with another day of a gusty breeze, will feel pretty brisk and cooler than that.As the cold air moves in and sets up shop Wednesday and Wednesday night, it will set the stage for perhaps a few flakes to fall early Thursday morning. Don’t worry we’re not talking disruptive accumulations or anything crazy. But the air will be cold enough early on Thursday that some spots from Metro West to the Merrimack Valley and northwest of there could see a rain/s...

When smartphones have no shortage of bad news to deliver, Backlisted’s episodes about ready-to-be-rediscovered titles can feel like a balm to readers and devoted listeners.“If you enjoy reading, you’ll probably want to hang out with the people we like talking to because the common interest is, fundamentally, shared enthusiasm,” says Miller, an author of several books who cohosts the twice-monthly show with Mitchinson, who is the co-founder of Unbound, the crowdfunded publishing house that originally bankrolled the podcast. “So if you want to hear people who love reading talking about reading in a way they hope communicates that love of reading, join us.”Miller, who does deep reading and research to prepare for episodes...
