And there cannot be a single crack in this shield,” Zelenskyy said.“We will not allow any political instants to spoil the relations between the Ukrainian and Polish peoples, and emotions should definitely cool down,” the president added.Poland has been one of Kyiv’s most vocal supporters since Moscow’s aggression ramped up in 2022.

Another Winner

How about a little bit of a chill this morning? If you woke up early enough and headed out the door this morning, it was apparent that a flash of Fall was in the air as temps bottomed out in the upper 40s and low 50s for many outside the city. That low humidity and crisp air in place stays through the day as afternoon highs recover into the upper 70s inland and low to mid 70s at the coast. Sunny skies this morning mix in with some scattered afternoon cumulous clouds that bubble up. We stay dry. Tomorrow, we’ll dial up the temps a notch or two, in additional to a bit of humidity by late-day. Overall, it’s still a comfortable summer’s day with the numbers running close to early August averages. As humidity increases tomorrow night into Friday, it’ll start to feel quite muggy again. The increased moisture, combined with a front sliding in, with allow for quite a few showers and storms to fire up. It looks unsettled Friday, especially in the afternoon, into the ...

Drought-stricken Mexico is turning to a controversial technology to make it rain

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:35:41 GMT

(CNN) — As an extreme drought grips Mexico, leading to crop losses, a lack of water and higher food prices, the government is trying to bring desperately-needed rain by turning to a controversial technology: cloud seeding.In July, the country kicked off the latest phase of a cloud seeding project that aims to artificially stimulate rainfall. It is targeting 62 municipalities clustered in its north and northeast, with the aim of “combating the effects of drought and contributing to the recharge of aquifers,” according to a statement from the Ministry of Agriculture.Cloud seeding is a technology first discovered in the 1940s. Since then, it has been used in around 50 countries, including in the United States and China. Mexico has been experimenting with weather modification for more than seven decades.However, some scientists remain very cautious about the effectiveness of cloud seeding and warn that it is not a solution to drought.“It has a con...

Raise Up Not Taking Minimum Wage Hike to 2024 Ballot

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:35:41 GMT

Supporters of a minimum wage increase have opted not to pursue a ballot question in 2024.Raise Up Massachusetts spokesman Andrew Farnitano, whose group had been weighing an initiative petition to secure another minimum wage hike, confirmed the coalition’s decision to the News Service on Tuesday afternoon.The influential alliance of organized labor, community groups and faith-based organizations for months had been publicly mulling an effort to get voters to boost the minimum wage, which ended a years-long climb to $15 in January and will not rise again without additional action.Instead, Raise Up will continue to support legislation filed by Reps. Tram Nguyen and Daniel Donahue and Sen. Jason Lewis (H 1925 / S 1200). Those bills would increase the minimum wage $1.25 per year until it reaches $20 in 2027, plus boost the minimum wage for tipped workers to $12 per hour in 2027, and link both to the consumer price index so they continue to automatically grow apace with in...
