In another blow to its recovery efforts, an island-wide power outage left most of Puerto Rico in the dark, with only a fraction of residents regaining electricity by Wednesday night.The latest blackout prompted Gov. Ricardo Rossello to call on the Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority (PREPA) to cancel its contract with the subcontractor that caused the massive outage."I have suggested to the PREPA Board of Directors that they cancel the contract with the Cobra subcontractor who is directly responsible for this power outage," he said in a statement Wednesday.An excavator operated by D. Grimm, a subcontractor for Cobra Acquisitions, apparently caused the blackout, according to the authority. Workers had been removing a fallen tower when the machine got too close to an energized line and an electrical ground fault caused the outage, according to Mammoth Energy, Cobra's parent company.The same company was responsible for an outage that affected 870,000 customers after a tree fell on a power line last week, PREPA said."This is the second power failure that has affected the people of Puerto Rico in less than a week," Rossello said. "This incident denotes the need to transform PREPA into a cutting-edge, modern and robust corporation. This is another example of why Puerto Rico's energy infrastructure needs to incorporate new forms of power."As of 8 p.m. Wednesday, only 334,000 customers in the US commonwealth had electricity again, according to a tweet from PREPA. It also said via Twitter that it's working to restore service through the island. 1570

Hundreds of people gathered in protest in front of the White House on Election Night, and the demonstrations remained mostly peaceful.The Associated Press reports that "more than 1,000" people gathered on Black Lives Matter Plaza near the White House on Tuesday night. The outlet reports that the demonstrators at times blocked traffic and set off fireworks, but the protests remained mostly peaceful.WRC-TV in Washington reports that three people were arrested in connection with the demonstrations on Tuesday night. One person was charged with disorderly conduct, while two others were arrested following an "assault incident." It's unclear if or how that assault was linked to the protests.The Washington Post reports that the D.C. protests included one incident where a man tussled with police at Black Lives Matter Plaza.The rest of the U.S. was also largely free of civil unrest. The Associated Press reports that there were "scattered protests" in large cities, including in New York City and Seattle.Officials in some major U.S. cities feared protests would grow violent as returns trickled in. Storefronts in downtown areas of major cities like New York and Denver chose to board up windows out of an abundance of caution.The White House this week installed additional barriers in front of the property gates to prevent protesters from breaching the property. 1376

House Speaker Paul Ryan announced Tuesday that there will be a new mandatory anti-harassment and discrimination training for all House members and staff.Paul said in a statement that the goal is "not only to raise awareness, but also make abundantly clear that harassment in any form has no place in this institution."The announcement came at the heels of a morning-long House hearing on sexual harassment where some members of Congress brought up concerns about sexual harassment in the legislative branch and reviewed the institutions in place for reporting and addressing such behavior. 607

If you feel like you're working more since you've started working from home, you're probably not wrong.A study by Atlassian found that since April, our workdays have become longer. That's around the time many people started working remotely.On average in the United States, people worked about 30 minutes more. People start work earlier and wrap up later.A separate report by LinkedIn found more than a quarter of people are checking in on work during off-work hours.However, this isn't necessarily leading us to be more productive. Often, we're working longer days because we're getting distracted while we're at home.“Everything's getting pretty mushy, so what that looks like is Netflix might be happening at 2 o’clock in the afternoon or you might be doing laundry at 11, instead of being fully focused on your work during the day, and I do think that is creating working longer hours,” said Elizabeth Grace Saunders, a time management coach.Saunders says there are additional distractions now.For instance, if you're a parent, your child may be learning from home. Sometimes you need to step in to help them, which can take time away from your work. That's completely okay, as long as we're still managing our time efficiently.Another thing that's changed is we may not necessarily have something to look forward to after work.Happy hours and going to the movie theater with a friend aren't really happening, so we may feel less motivated to work throughout the day.These longer work hours are giving us less of a chance to recharge for the next day, so it's important that we draw the line between work life and home life.Saunders says to pick a time where you only work... And don't do things like personal chores or take long breaks.“Those work hours are times when I’m devoted to work, and I’m really focused, and I’m not getting other things. That gives you the freedom and flexibility to feel like, I got work done today, I got done what I needed to get done and I need to do something refreshing or recharging at night.”We can still create things to look forward to after work, like having a time where we call friends and family, or plan to do something else you enjoy like crafting. 2204

If Santa were to find his way to Baltimore, Maryland, 34th Street might be the perfect place to land his sleigh and Bob Hoshier might be the perfect person to welcome him to the neighborhood.The 57-year-old man has lived on this block since the 1980s, the year he first hung up a few strands of Christmas light. His neighbors eventually got in on the decorating and now, every year, this strip of row houses is covered so thickly in Christmas lights that planes landing at nearby Baltimore Washington International Airport might mistake it for a landing strip.And this year, more than ever, Hoshier knew his gift to the neighborhood had to shine."It's been a terrible year. With the amount of people out of work, the kids that aren’t gonna have a great Christmas, and this is free, isn’t going to cost them anything," Hoshier said as he watched people walk up and down the block admiring the lights.Turns out Hoshier isn't alone in his love for light. Sales of Christmas lights are up nearly 20 percent nationwide in 2020."With the way everyone is hunkered down in their houses, it puts a little joy on kids' faces,” Hoshier said. “You only have to put one string of lights up, you don’t have to go crazy as we do.”But the holidays aside, there might be something much deeper at play when it comes to Americans’ newfound fascination with Christmas lights this year. In a year defined by darkness, psychology professor Dr. Krystine Batcho sees a reason behind those skyrocketing light sales."Holidays themselves are wonderful social or community markers for time. It reminds us that there’s a cycle to nature, the seasons' cycle," said Dr. Batcho, who teaches at Le Moyne College in Syracuse, New York.With so many of our routines upended, putting up lights can be a marker in time. A way for our subconscious to reset."None of us can stop time or reverse it, but when you put up those lights, you’re saying, ‘I’m going to tell the world it’s time to take a break,’" she added.In a year that has seen its fair share of darkness, Dr. Batcho sees these tiny little bulbs as lighting the way forward."It’s an act of hope, and we all are anticipating the end of the pandemic, so this takes on more meaning, more purpose,” she said. 2234
