Post:</a><br>
A wave of Democratic victories ignited a ferocious debate across the
Republican Party on Wednesday over whether President Trump's
unorthodox behavior and polarizing agenda are jeopardizing the GOP's
firm grip on power in Congress, governors' mansions and state
legislatures.<br>
The recriminations sparked by Tuesday's results - a decisive rebuke
of Trump and his policies in Virginia and elsewhere - threatened the
fragile GOP push to pass sweeping tax cuts by the end of the year
and raised deeper questions about Republican identity and fealty to
a historically unpopular president.<br>
A year ahead of the 2018 midterm elections, Republicans are
increasingly uncertain about keeping their majorities on Capitol
Hill and are worried about how damaging Trump's jagged brand of
politics may become to the party.<br>
"Donald Trump is an anchor for the GOP," said veteran party
strategist Mike Murphy, a Trump critic. "We got that message in loud
volume in Virginia. The canary in the coal mine didn't just pass
out; its head exploded."<br>

Americans in many states and cities across the country elected
leaders on Tuesday who have pledged to address climate change
despite-and even rebuking-the recalcitrant Trump administration.<br>

electricity, homes in ruins: A reporter goes home and finds
misery, hope and resilience in the U.S. Virgin Islands</a></b><br>
But among the ruins, I also find grit, hope and a resolve to build
back the islands stronger than before.<br>
Terence Thomas, a college classmate at the University of the Virgin
Islands, and his wife, Madelyn Lake-Thomas, rode out Irma at home,
first in a 4-foot wide closet in their hillside St. Thomas house and
later in a concrete storeroom as the hurricane ripped off chunks of
the house.<br>
The storm terrified them. The aftermath has been almost as bad.
Trapped by the debris in their driveway, they slept for three nights
in their car. In the weeks since, they've bunked with friends and
relatives, relying on a camping stove for cooking and a generator
for power.<br>
"For days after the storm, I said, 'I can't cry. I have to be the
strong one,' " said Thomas, a government IT manager, as he walks
through his wrecked house, rescuing bits of electronic equipment and
clothing....<br>
One day he sat outside his borrowed apartment, watching the sun
rise, and lost control of his emotions. "I was just bawling," he
said. "Here I was homeless … and nature had the audacity to put up
this sunrise like nothing had happened."<br>
But like many of the islanders I spend time with, Thomas has no
intention of ever leaving home, no matter how hard the recovery.
"Caribbean people tend to be hardy people," he said. "If all of us
leave, what's here for subsequent generations?"...<br>

smog: City's residents frustrated over car rationing</a></b><br>
<b>Twitter users in the smog-choked Indian capital Delhi have
criticised the re-introduction of car rationing as a "tokenistic"
effort to curb pollution.</b><br>
Under the "odd-even" scheme, private cars with even and odd number
plates will only be allowed on the roads on alternate days from 13
to 17 November.<br>
Experts say that two previous periods of car rationing reduced
traffic but had little impact on pollution.<br>
India's environmental watchdog described the plan as "a farce".<br>
The National Green Tribunal has called on the Delhi government to
demonstrate that previous use of the scheme had actually improved
air quality.<br>
Delhi's air, among the world's dirtiest, worsens in the winter
months.<br>
This happens because farmers in neighbouring Punjab and Haryana
states burn crop stubble to clear their fields.<br>
Low wind speeds, dust from construction sites, rubbish burning in
the capital and firecrackers used in festivals all contribute to
increased pollution levels.<br>
Delhi is not the only Indian city with toxic air. Large parts of
northern India are also affected - in fact the air in some cities is
worse than in Delhi.<br>
<b>Reports say that the air in Lahore, Pakistan's second-largest
city, is equally thick with smoke and particulate matter - tiny
pollutants that can lodge inside the lungs and enter the
bloodstream.</b><br>
The Delhi government has also temporarily banned construction work
in a bid to improve conditions, and has increased parking fees to
discourage people from driving their cars.<br>
A day before the government's announcement, pollution levels in the
city had reached 30 times the World Health Organization's
recommended limit in some areas.<br>
<b>What are PM2.5 particles?</b><br>
- Fine particulate matter, or PM,2.5, is a type of air pollutant
made up of fine particles less than 2.5 micrometres (0.0025mm) in
diameter<br>
- A second type of particulate matter, PM10, is made up of larger
particles with a diameter of up to 10 micrometres.<br>
- Some occur naturally - for example, from dust storms and forest
fires - while others are produced by industrial processes<br>
- They often consist of particles that are small enough to reach
into the lungs and, in some cases, cross into the bloodstream as
well<br>
- A build-up of PM2.5 in the lungs has been associated with
respiratory illnesses and lung damage<br>

<b><a
href="https://www.irishtimes.com/culture/books/how-to-be-resilient-when-things-go-wrong-1.3285595">How
to be resilient when things go wrong (Irish Times)</a></b><br>
Mary McGuire sets out the principles which she believes are the
building blocks to not only survival, but success<br>
The building blocks to resilience<br>
<b>Having a healthy belief in ourselves</b><br>
This is the cornerstone to building resilience. We cannot achieve
anything if we do not believe in who we are and what we stand for.
Without this clarity, our self-worth is scattered to the four
corners of the world by the winds of fortune, forever running this
way and that, without a proper compass to guide our efforts. If you
find it difficult to identify what is important to you, start by
writing down your goals and dreams for the next two to three years.
If it helps, build a vision board, using pictures to paint an idea
of what you want to achieve. Resilience arises from having clarity
about what we want from life, so make a start on your vision today.<br>
<b>Staying connected to the present moment</b><br>
Resilience comes from understanding that the only moment that is
real is the present moment. By connecting to this through our
breathing and through our awareness that all moments will pass,
including the present one, we can learn to release difficult and
painful experiences more easily. We can understand that our efforts
are more effective when undertaken mindfully and with a proper
perspective of the bigger picture. As soon as we connect to the
present moment, we can quieten our negative self-talk, release our
fears and step out of the drama that our thoughts might be creating.<br>
<b>Learn to take criticism well</b><br>
Nobody likes being told that their idea is rubbish or their plan is
unrealistic and if we are caught up in the excitement of our own
ideas we tend to shy away from getting any realistic feedback. Yet
criticism, when offered constructively, can help us to avoid
pitfalls and failures which come down to our own lack of experience.
Criticism can help us to flatten our learning curve and make
progress faster. We need to feel comfortable not knowing it all and
be gracious enough to accept criticism when offered by an
experienced person in a helpful manner.<br>
<b>Be realistic</b><br>
In our keenness to try out a new idea, we might be over-optimistic
about how smoothly everything will go and how easily resources will
become available to us. At the other extreme, we might find
ourselves being hyper-critical when we are looking back on mistakes
we have made that might seem blindingly obvious after the fact.
Somewhere between the rose-coloured spectacles and the bleak shades
of grey we can find what is the most likely or probable outcome.
Learn to be more self-accepting and more gentle with your inner
thoughts. A harsh inner critic is hardly motivating if you are
trying to pick up the pieces and move on. Self-love will be a much
kinder way to move forward.<br>
If you want to start building your resilience today, start by
connecting to what really excites you in life and build your ideas
around something that matters to you. Your own belief and passion
will take you further and help you to cope with setbacks better than
anything else.<br>

ordered destruction of obstructing satellite research into
climate change</a></b><br>
Congress ordered destruction of vital sea-ice probe<br>
The Republican majority in the US Congress has been accused of
deliberately obstructing research on global warming after it emerged
that a critically important technique for investigating sea-ice
cover at the poles faces being blocked.<br>
The row has erupted after a key polar satellite broke down a few
days ago, leaving the US with only three ageing ones, each operating
long past their shelf lives, to measure the Arctic's dwindling ice
cap. Scientists say there is no chance a new one can now be launched
until 2023 or later. None of the current satellites will still be in
operation then.<br>
The crisis has been worsened because the US Congress this year
insisted that a backup sea-ice probe had to be dismantled because it
did not want to provide funds to keep it in storage. Congress is
currently under the control of Republicans, who are antagonistic to
climate science and the study of global warming.<br>
"This is like throwing away the medical records of a sick patient,"
said David Gallaher of the National Snow and Ice Data Center in
Boulder, Colorado. "Our world is ailing and we have apparently
decided to undermine, quite deliberately, the effectiveness of the
records on which its recovery might be based. It is criminal."<br>
The threat to the US sea-ice monitoring programme - which supplies
data to scientists around the world - will trigger further
accusations at this week's international climate talks in Bonn that
the Trump administration is trying to block studies of global
warming for ideological reasons.<br>
Earth's sea ice has shrunk dramatically - particularly in the Arctic
- in recent years as rising emissions of greenhouse gases have
warmed the planet. Satellites have been vital in assessing this
loss, thanks mainly to America's Defence Meteorological Satellite
Programme (DMSP), which has overseen the construction of eight
F-series satellites that use microwaves sensors to monitor sea-ice
coverage. These probes, which have lifespans of three to five years,
have shown that millions of square kilometres of sea ice have
disappeared from the Arctic over the past 20 years, allowing less
solar energy to be reflected back into space - and so further
increasing global temperatures - while also disrupting Inuit life
and wildlife in the region.<br>
Such losses have serious consequences, say researchers. "Sea-ice
data provided by satellites is essential for initiating climate
models and validating them," said Andrew Fleming of the British
Antarctic Survey. "We will be very much the poorer without that
information."<br>

in Foster Auditorium, Pattee Library. McGraw will talk about the
importance of storytelling, listening and the need for good dialogue
about climate change in a polarized political environment.<br>
"Political division, some bad actors, a lot of passion and
misinformation have prevented people from taking the action needed
to address climate change," said Peter Buckland, academic programs
coordinator at the Sustainability Institute and author of the guide.
"But with a common understanding of the science, by focusing on
common values and by sharing and listening, solutions can be
developed."<br>
In the film, McGraw; Richard Alley, notable climate scientist and
professor of geosciences; Janet Swim, professor of psychology; and
Steve Sywensky, a local angler, discuss the challenges of
human-caused climate change and the importance of people talking
about it. <br>
"Climate change is one of the most polarizing subjects, but if our
democracy is going to tackle the problem of climate, then we have to
really talk about it," Buckland said.<br>

"Professors at Boston-area colleges are adding their voices to a
student-led movement that is pressing higher education institutions

"The growing faculty involvement has not only galvanized the effort
with increased support but also added an important and unique
perspective, activists say."<br>
