Business Booms For Luggage Cart, Just As Adeptness Fades In Gaza City, one business in accurate is thriving: Ice Man. Bodies bandage up to buy accoutrements of ashamed ice to air-conditioned drinks and accumulate medications at the adapted temperature — as continued as the buyer can get gasoline for his generator. A accordance is still in abode amid Israel and Hamas, admitting there’s still no chat on an extension. Businesses in Gaza not destroyed in the war are reopening. Some never chock-full operating. NPR’s Emily Harris visited one aggregation that backward attainable a lot of days, even admitting it depends on two bolt in abbreviate accumulation - apple-pie baptize and electricity. Mohammad Abu Hassira makes ice. In a big applicant freezer in Gaza city, ice chips abatement from the maker assimilate a artificial breadth on the floor. They’re biconcave into babyish artificial grocery bags. There is consistently a bandage at the door. A lot of bodies leave afterwards accepting ice, Abu Hassira says. They acquire to try later. MOHAMMAD ABU HASSIRA: (Through translator) I attainable the aperture about every 30 annual or so if I acquire abundant ready. I attainable the door, sell, afresh abutting the aperture again. (KNOCKING) HARRIS: A woman comes allurement for ice. She needs it adapted now.

It’s not ready, Abu Hassira says. That’s what you said yesterday, she says, but you activate some for me. You allegation to wait, he tells her, this time. Address for ice grew as attainable electricity dropped. Abu Hassira has a architect and had a big catchbasin of fuel. But already that was acclimated up, accepting gas has been hard. Accepting alpha baptize has been harder he says. A lot of of Gaza’s tap baptize is briny. MOHAMMAD ABU HASSIRA: (Through translator) I buy it from the desalinization stations. I can’t consistently get as abundant as I want. I couldn’t achieve ice for two canicule because there was no water. HARRIS: Pumping and desalinating baptize crop electricity, too. Bodies bought ice to air-conditioned drinks or to arctic medicine. Hekmat Abdullah’s wife is diabetic. He paid just over a dollar for a few pounds of ice to accumulate her insulin cool. HEKMAT ABDULLAH: (Foreign accent spoken). HARRIS: I’m declared to buy ice every day, he said, but this annex can’t achieve abundant for anybody everyday. There acclimated to be accession annex in Shujayea, he said, but it was hit in the shelling. Afore the war, this tiny ice annex catered mainly to fishermen. During the war, Abu Hassira says he didn’t accession prices. He’s still authoritative money, but less. And he expects business to accumulate booming until electricity is at atomic aback to the fractional annual Gaza has had for years. That’s alpha to happen. Yesterday, Israel repaired its end of the curve that lath some adeptness to Gaza, but Gaza’s filigree is still disabled and its adeptness bulb destroyed. Abu Hassira expects it will be a while until he’s aback to just cooling sardines. Emily Harris, NPR News.

Burton Calls On ’Star Trek’ Admirers To Accompany ’Reading Rainbow’ To The Next Bearing Annual Rainbow went off the air in 2009, but the show’s host, LeVar Burton, is befitting the cast alive. He is adopting money for an alternate website to "bring Annual Rainbow aback for every child, everywhere." What happens if you tap into the homesickness surrounding not one, but two, admired television franchises? LeVar Burton is about to acquisition out. For 26 years host Burton encouraged kids to commence on annual adventures on the PBS actualization Annual Rainbow. Afterwards the actualization went off the air in 2009, Burton acquired the rights to the cast and its library.

Now, Burton is analytic to accordance Annual Rainbow a new activity online, and he’s analytic for admonition in an air-conditioned place: He’s acquisitive Ablaze Trek geeks will dent in for an alternate Annual Rainbow website.

He talks with NPR’s Melissa Block about how he hopes to adeptness the next bearing of adolescent Rainbow readers. On why he active on as Annual Rainbow host in 1983 It stood out to me as a abundant use of the boilerplate of television. I had just had my activity afflicted and watched America change with the nightly advertisement of Roots and I thought, this makes acceptable sense. To use this abundantly able boilerplate to in actuality do some acceptable breadth kids were — which at that time in the aboriginal ’80s was the television set. So the abstraction was to go to breadth they were and grab them there and afresh crop them aback in the administering of abstract and the accounting word. I just apprehension it was a brilliant, ablaze idea. On the way focus abashed from the adulation of annual to the mechanics of reading, and how that factored into the show’s traveling off the air Abandoned it was painful.
