FILE - In this Nov. 10, 2017 file photo, Indian commuters wait for transport amid a thick blanket of smog on the outskirts of New Delhi, Nov. 10. 2017. The petroleum coke (petcoke) being burned in countless factories and plants is contributing to dangerously filthy air in India, which already has many of the world's most polluted cities. India's energy-hungry industries like petcoke because it's cheaper and burns hotter than coal; they also defend their use by saying they're recycling a waste that's being produced anyway.

Moi Williams, 59, poses for a photo Wednesday, Sept. 13, 2017, in Los Angeles. Williams, who has been homeless for four years, said he is comfortable sleeping on the street. "I'm not bothering nobody. I'm not being bothered." The homeless are easy to pass by on the street. It's harder when you look into their eyes. Their gazes hint at lost promise or a glimmer of hope. Some are sad, some placid, others haunting. Behind each person is a story that however vague offers some glimpse into their lives. (AP Photo/Jae C. Hong)
