page three Student works for NASA at 16 MARYLAND In spring 2016, Liza Goldberg asked scientists at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md., if she could do research there. But there was a problem: She was 14, and the agency’s internship program accepts students starting at 16.

As luck would have it, two NASA satellite experts — David Lagomasino and Temilola Fatoyinbo — saw the request.

It mentioned a tree study Goldberg had done that involved climate change and measuring the growth of maple seedlings in her backyard once a week for three years.

The two NASA scientists were intrigued. “This girl sounds great,” Lagomasino recalls saying. “We have some work to do; let’s bring her in.”

L a goma si no a nd Fatoyinbo thought Goldberg could help them use satellite data to map mangroves — muddy,

tangled-trunk forests that fringe the coastlines of dozens of tropical locales and as far north as St. Augustine, Fla. Mangroves are critical ecosystems: They store huge amounts of carbon and nurture fish and shrimp species that millions of people depend on for food. But much about them remains mysterious.

Less than two years later, Goldberg has developed what might be the world’s first satellite-based early-warning system to determine where mangroves are threatened. The work incorporates data from four satellites on mangrove growth and loss, rainfall, agriculture and urban growth. Green, yellow and red pixels on a Google Earth base map indicate threat levels ranging from low to high.

Going from knowing almost nothing about satellite imagery to doing serious science at a worldrenowned research facility has been a whirlwind for the sophomore at Atholton High School in Columbia, Md. “I still sort of can’t believe I’m there,” she said.

Goldberg even spoke at the American Geophysical Union’s

Goldberg’s next steps include incorporating additional data sources and making the warnings update in near real time as satellite data stream in. She eventually plans to move the system to a public platform.

Now that she has just turned 16, she has finally joined NASA’s official internship program. In a few months when she gets her driver’s license, she might start driving herself. In the future she hopes to travel to East Africa to work with some of Lagomasino and Fatoyinbo’s collaborators.

Water mains bursting, freight rails cracking as freeze grips the region

BALTIMORE

A woman braves the D.C. cold Wednesday.

Temperatures are expected to drop into the single digits this week.

while fielding more than 200 emergency calls a day tied to the frigid temperatures. Plumbers reported hundreds of calls for broken pipes at homes, apartments and office buildings, including a burst hot water supply line that spawned a small sidewalk glacier on L Street in downtown Washington.

More than 5,000 motorists in D.C., Maryland and Virginia called for help Tuesday, mostly for dead batteries, flat tires and getting locked out of their vehicles, probably from leaving keys in their cars while warming them up, according to AAA Mid-Atlantic.

At the Washington Aqueduct, workers battled the freezing Potomac by hand, like ancient whalers, using steel rods to punch through ice 2 inches thick near the intake pipes that supply the District and parts of Northern Virginia with drinking water.

Crews had scrambled to break up the bergs Sunday after ice began to block the pipes and the reservoir level dropped, said Thomas Jacobus, the aqueduct’s

Regional forecast The “bomb cyclone” exploding off the East Coast will pass far enough offshore for the D.C. region to miss the brunt of the storm. However, because it is predicted to scrape the region with a period of snow during Thursday morning’s commute, it could cause disruptions. Generally, between a dusting and 2 inches of snow should fall in the metro region. Following this storm, wind chills Friday morning will drop below zero throughout the area. Outside the Beltway region, forecasts are calling for heavier conditions, with up to a foot possible in the Norfolk area, prompting Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe to declare a state of emergency.

overwhelm the intake.

Jacobus said aqueduct officials couldn’t remember another stretch when night temperatures dipped into the single digits and daytime temperatures didn’t reach above freezing. “This is what you expect in Iowa, for goodness’ sakes,” Jacobus said.

“Nothing has a chance to warm up to defrost itself.”

Workers have wrapped black plastic around equipment to try to trap in heat and brought in portable heaters to keep smaller pipes from freezing. The extreme cold also makes chemical reactions in the water treatment process sluggish. Crews are adding more coagulants to get dirt to settle and keeping an eye on chlorine levels to make sure the chlorine has enough time to kill bacteria.

“Our systems are taxed,” Jacobus said. “We’ll be OK, but we are right at the edge of the capabilities of our heating systems.

They’re not built for this.”

REGION You can’t fight fire with ice.

That’s a frozen fact that public safety officials are a grappling with as extreme cold continues to grip Washington and much of the rest of the country this week. Broken water mains make fire hydrants weak. The water that firefighters carry on their trucks can freeze. Pumps lock up. Firefighters fall down.

“You see people trip on hose lines during sunny days, much less add ice, too,” said Northern Virginia firefighter Chris Kamienski at Arlington’s Station 1 on Wednesday.

Plumbers have their own lowtemp truisms (pipes burst), as do drivers (batteries fail), engineers (metal breaks) and doctors (joints ache from cold, bones crack from falls). It’s all the toll of the cold. When the air gets down near zero, parts fail and people despair. From freight rails to frost bite, a deep freeze can mean deep trouble for a city — and a species — built to operate at more temperate temperatures.

Meteorology has become a doomsday science. Bomb cyclone? Polar vortex? What happened to scattered flurries?

“When things get very cold, things change,” John Jarrell, president of Materials Science Associates in Rhode Island. “The nature of materials change, and the systems we’ve designed to operate at normal temperatures are stressed.”

The evidence is everywhere.

Crews are struggling to keep up with a record number of fractured water mains, with almost 80 reported in the Maryland suburbs Wednesday. DC Water was working to fix 50 others

City union urges school closings for lack of heat The Baltimore Teachers Union says the city should close schools until heating problems can be addressed amid the bitter cold snap. The union delivered a letter Wednesday to schools CEO Sonja Santelises.

Panel denies request in tied Va. race State elections board will choose winner of House seat today VIRGINIA A recount court on Wednesday denied a request to reconsider its decision to tally a disputed ballot for Republican David Yancey, putting a pivotal House race into a tie between Yancey and Democrat Shelly Simonds.

The decision — which Simonds cannot appeal — paves the way for the state Board of Elections to break the tie today

by randomly selecting either Simonds or Yancey.

Virginia politicos will be watching closely for the outcome of the race, which could break the GOP’s hold on the House of Delegates.

But even if Simonds wins the drawing over Yancey — an outcome that would split the 100-member House of Delegates right down the middle — odds are the GOP will retain control of the chamber on Day 1 of the 2018 General Assembly session, when crucial votes for speaker and rules take place.

That’s because the candidate

who loses the drawing can request another recount, a process not likely to be completed before the legislature convenes Jan. 10.

And based on history, neither candidate would likely be seated if there is a pending recount, giving the GOP a 50-49 majority in the House when delegates pick a speaker for the next two years.

Once chosen, the speaker, who makes all committee appointments, may only be ousted by a two-thirds vote. So even after picking up at least 15 seats in a wave election widely seen as a rebuke to President Trump, House Democrats will likely still have to deal with Republican Del. Kirk Cox as House speaker.

House Democrats have begun to push for Simonds to be seated immediately if she wins, even if Yancey seeks a recount. But Republicans say there is no precedent for doing so. LAURA VOZZELLA (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Trump slams Bannon, says he ‘lost his mind’

Tyson to build 40-acre weed ranch in Calif.

POLITICS President Trump returned fire with both barrels Wednesday against criticism leveled at him in a new book that says he never expected — or wanted — to win the White House, that his victory left his wife in tears and that a senior adviser thought his son’s contact with a Russian lawyer during the campaign was “treasonous.”

Trump released a formal statement railing against his former chief White House strategist, Steve Bannon, insisting Bannon had little to do with his victorious campaign and “has nothing to do with me or my Presidency.”

“When he was fired, he not only lost his job, he lost his mind,” Trump said.

The statement came in response to an unflattering new book by writer Michael Wolff that paints Trump as a juvenile in many ways who doesn’t understand the weight of the presidency and spends his evenings eating cheeseburgers in bed, watching television and talking on the phone to his old friends.

White House aides were blindsided Wednesday when an early excerpt from the book was published online by New York magazine and released by other media outlets that had obtained copies

Trump broke with his ex-strategist Steve Bannon, right, on Wednesday.

ahead of its Jan. 9 publication date. The White House did not have a copy of the book as of Wednesday morning, officials said.

Trump seemed most angry at comments made by Bannon and first reported by The Guardian, which obtained an early copy of the book, “Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House.”

According to The Guardian, Bannon described a Trump Tower meeting between Donald Trump Jr., Trump campaign aides and a Russian lawyer as “treasonous” and “unpatriotic.”

Bannon also told Wolff that the investigations into potential collusion between Russia and Trump campaign officials would likely focus on money laundering.

“They’re going to crack Don Junior like an egg on national TV,” The Guardian quoted Bannon as saying. A spokeswoman for Bannon did not immediately respond to a request for a comment.

But the ex-White House chief strategist was not surprised or bothered by the blowback, according to a person familiar with Bannon’s thinking. Bannon vowed on Wednesday to continue his “war” on the Republican establishment and also predicted that, after a cooling-off period, he’d continue to speak with Trump, who likes to maintain contact with former advisers even after he fires and sometimes disparages them.

Mike Tyson is on the verge of becoming a heavyweight in California’s marijuana industry. The ex-boxer and his business partners have broken ground on a 40-acre ranch they envision as a destination for growers and consumers of California’s newly legal recreational weed. The Blast reported that Tyson broke ground last month on a “cannabis resort” to be called Tyson Ranch in California City. Tyson Ranch will set aside 20 acres for the cultivation of marijuana by “master growers,” while also featuring facilities to help growers. The ranch will also offer an “edibles factory,” an amphitheater and areas for “glamping” — glamorous camping. (TWP)

‘CANNABIS RESORT’

WASHINGTONPOST.COM SPEAKING OF SCIENCE

Study: People detect sickness via facial cues People can detect illness in others simply by looking at their faces, according to new research led by a Swedish psychologist.

“We can detect subtle cues related to the skin, eyes and mouth,” said John Axelsson, who co-wrote the study published Tuesday in the journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B. “And we judge people as sick by those cues.”

Researchers injected eight men and eight women with a molecule found in bacterial membranes. “People did not really become sick from the bacteria,” Axelsson said, but their bodies did not know the bacteria weren’t actually attacking. The subjects, all white, received about $430 for their trouble.

The scientists photographed the subjects after the injection, around the time participants said they felt the most unwell. They also photographed the subjects on a different date after they received a placebo injection. (The left photo above is the “sick” face.)

Axelsson and the team asked 60 students from universities in Stockholm to assess the photos.

Observers were given five seconds to look at each photo and identify the person in it as sick or healthy. The students’ detection of immune responses was somewhat more accurate than sheer chance: On a scale of 0.5 to 1, 0.5 being completely random, the observers averaged a score of 0.62. BEN GUARINO

1927-2018 For more than 50 years, Thomas S. Monson served in top leadership councils for the Mormon church — making him a wellknown face and personality to multiple generations of Mormons.

A church bishop at the age of 22, the Salt Lake City native became the youngest church apostle ever in 1963 at the age of 36. He served as a counselor for three church presidents before assuming the role of the top leader of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in February 2008.

On Tuesday night, the 90-yearold Monson died at his home in Salt Lake City, church spokesman Eric Hawkins said.

As president of the nearly 16 million-member religion, Monson was considered a prophet who led the church through revelation from God in collaboration

with two top counselors and members of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles.

The next president is expected be the longest-tenured member of the church’s governing Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, Russell M. Nelson, a 93-year-old former heart surgeon whose conservative track record on the religion’s leadership panel has led Mormon scholars to predict he won’t make any major changes.

Monson’s tenure was marked by his noticeably low profile during a time of intense publicity for the church. He will be remembered for his emphasis on humanitarian work; leading the faith’s involvement in the passage of a gay marriage ban in California in 2008; continuing the religion’s push to be more transparent about its past; and lowering the minimum age for missionaries.

‘Bomb cyclone’ coming

WEATHER A brutal winter storm dumped snow in Tallahassee, Fla., on Wednesday for the first time in nearly three decades before slogging up the Atlantic coast and smacking Southern cities such as Savannah, Georgia, and Charleston, S.C., with a rare blast of snow and ice.

Forecasters warned that the same system could soon strengthen into a “bomb cyclone” as it rolls up the East Coast, bringing hurricane-force winds, coastal flooding and up to a foot of snow.

At least 17 deaths were blamed on dangerously cold temperatures that for days have gripped wide swaths of the U.S. from Texas to New England.

A winter storm warning extended from the Gulf Coast of Florida’s “Big Bend” region all along the Atlantic coast. Forecasters said hurricane-force winds blowing offshore on Thursday could generate 24-foot seas.

Schools in the Southeast called off classes just months after being shut down because of hurricanes, and police urged drivers to stay off the roads.

In Savannah, snow blanketed the city’s lush downtown squares and collected on branches of burly oaks for the first time in nearly eight years. William Shaw, a Savannah native, used baby steps to shuffle along a frozen road from his home to the post office.

“It almost seems the town is deserted just like in the last hurricane,” said Shaw, 65. “There’s no one on the street. It’s got a little eerie feeling.”

Dump trucks spread sand on major streets in Savannah ahead of the storm and police closed several bridges, overpasses and a major causeway because of ice.

It was the city’s first measurable snowfall since February 2010.

In Charleston, the weather

service reported 5 inches as the snow was winding down at 5 p.m. — the most snowfall in Charleston since December 1989.

Airports shut down in Savannah, Charleston and elsewhere as airlines cancelled 500 flights Wednesday, and at least 1,700 more were cancelled for Thursday. Interstate 95 was nearly an icy parking lot for almost all of its 200 miles in South Carolina.

Troopers couldn’t keep up with all the reported wrecks, which numbered in the hundreds.

In Tallahassee, Michigan transplant Laura Donaven built a snowman 6 inches tall. The city tweeted that snow fell there for the first time in 28 years.

Florida’s largest theme parks announced that water attractions such as Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon, Universal Orlando’s Volcano Bay and SeaWorld’s Aquatica were closed.

The weather service said the winter storm would probably intensify into a “bomb cyclone” that could dump more than 8 inches of snow on the Boston area today and at least a half foot of snow in the New York City region.

Meteorologists have been using the term “bomb” for storms for decades, but the phrase went viral on social media on Wednesday. A storm is a bomb — or bombogenesis happens — when it drops 24 millibars of pressure in 24 hours. This storm looks like it will intensify at twice that rate, said Bob Oravec, lead forecaster at the National Weather Service’s Weather Prediction Center.

Blizzard warnings were issued from Rhode Island to Maine.

Oravec said he expects they could be extended as far south as parts of New York.

“It’s sort of akin to a hurricane traveling up the coast,” said Ryan Maue, a meteorologist at private firm weather.us. RUSS BYNUM (AP)

Manafort sues Mueller, DOJ for Russia probe POLITICS President Trump’s former campaign chairman Paul Manafort sued special counsel Robert Mueller and the Justice Department on Wednesday, saying prosecutors had overstepped their bounds by charging him for conduct that he says is unrelated to Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election.

Manafort’s lawsuit, filed in federal court in Washington, is the most direct challenge to date to Mueller’s legal authority and the scope of his mandate as special counsel.

Manafort was indicted in October on charges — including money-laundering conspiracy — related to his lobbying work on behalf of a Russia-friendly Ukrainian political party. He has pleaded not guilty. He is one of four Trump associates to be charged so far in Mueller’s investigation.

In his complaint, Manafort alleges that the investigation into “decade-old business dealings” is “completely unmoored” from the mandate Mueller was given when he was named in May to probe possible ties between the Kremlin and the Trump campaign.

Manafort’s lawyer, Kevin Downing, did not immediately return a call seeking comment. A Justice Department spokesman said, “The lawsuit is frivolous, but the defendant is entitled to file whatever he wants.”

the disparagement of a key U.S. security partner. North Korea experts worry Trump’s taunting of Pyongyang could lead the two countries to stumble into war.

“I think he should stop. … It’s dangerous bravado,” former Vice President Joe Biden told The Associated Press on Tuesday.

White House spokeswoman Sarah Sanders insisted Trump wasn’t “taunting” Kim Jong Un, merely “standing up for the people of this country.” What would be dangerous, Sanders said, would be for Trump to stay silent.

“This is a president who is not going to cower down and is not going to be weak,” she said.

COLLEGE HOOPS

Depleted Terps slow their pace

RICK SNIDER | SPORTS GURU

The sins of the Redskins were many in 2017.

They had no running game, no true No. 1 receiver and no run defense to speak of. Widespread injuries compounded those weaknesses and turned a promising early season into a final record of 7-9.

Another offseason of contract negotiations with Kirk Cousins looks to be the most pressing issue, but the past year clearly showed that the Redskins still have much to do to fix their defense.

Washington finished with the league’s worst run defense, allowing an average of 134.1 yards per game. The team ranked 21st in total defense.

When New Orleans trailed Washington by 15 points with six minutes left in a Week 11 game, the Saints made the comeback look easy. When the Redskins scored 30 points on Minnesota the previous week, the Vikings put up 38. The Redskins gave up at least 30 points in seven of their losses.

Certainly, losing first-round pick Jonathan Allen after five games due to a Lisfranc injury impacted the run defense. So did the preseason loss of Phil Taylor that left Washington without a hefty nose tackle.

Washington needs to build around Allen on the defensive line, because the current crew was overrun. That means the 13th overall pick this year should again be used to shore up the trenches. Defensive tackle Da’Ron Payne (Alabama) or Vita Vea (Washington) would fit well in that slot.

The Redskins should be fine at inside linebacker, especially if they re-sign Zach Brown.

Expect outside linebacker Trent Murphy to re-sign, and Junior Galette to depart.

Cornerback Bashaud Breeland will probably leave in free agency, which would be a shame even with the emergence of Kendall Fuller.

The Redskins have drastic needs on offense, too, especially if Cousins departs as a free agent. If coach Jay Gruden hands the keys of

Offseason priority: Defense should top Redskins’ list

Linebacker Zach Brown, top, and corner Bashaud Breeland, above, may leave in free agency, which would weaken an already struggling defense.

the offense to Colt McCoy, the team will likely draft a quarterback in the first three rounds. Even if Cousins stays on another franchise tag, the team must find his successor.

Washington went all season without finding a reliable lead running back. This is a deep class at the position, and neither Rob Kelley — who went on injured reserve with an ankle injury — nor Samaje Perine proved to be an effective, physical complement to Chris Thompson.

Signing Terrelle Pryor Sr. was a whopping failure. Another free agent receiver could

replace him, but the market could be thin. Jordan Reed is only 27, but he’s never played all 16 games. Investing in another tight end would be wise.

On special teams, finding a dynamic return man would be nice. Jamison Crowder’s increased role as a receiver left him lacking on punt returns, and Breeland returned kicks.

Training camp is nearly seven months away, but a rough season has at least provided a blueprint to improving.

Maryland’s 75-69 win over Penn State on Tuesday showed what a slog the next two months will be for the shorthanded Terps, who are down to nine scholarship players after losing forwards Justin Jackson and Ivan Bender to seasonending injuries last week. Anthony Cowan Jr., below, played all 40 minutes, scoring 18 points with four assists while chasing opposing guards. He’ll have to do it again with a short turnaround tonight at No. 1 Michigan State (8, FS1). Coach Mark Turgeon has the Terps (13-3, 2-1 Big Ten) playing at a more deliberate pace to preserve his players’ legs and play into bigger roles for big men Bruno Fernando and Michal Cekovsky.

Gruden: ‘Good chance’ of return to Raiders

ESPN analyst Jon Gruden confirmed Wednesday on the “Golic and Wingo” show that he is in contention to be the next head coach of the Raiders and he thinks “there’s a good chance” he’ll get the job. Gruden, who was the head coach in Oakland from 1998-2001 and coached the Buccaneers for seven years after that, said the decision lies with team owner Mark Davis and that there’s “no validity” to reports he could get an ownership stake.

Former assistant seeks $7.5M in damages from ousted Arizona coach COLLEGE FOOTBALL A claim filed by the former assistant to fired Arizona football coach Rich Rodriguez says he walked around the office in his underwear, fondled himself in front of her and forced her to cover up an extramarital affair he had with another woman.

The claim, which was released Wednesday by the state attorney general’s office, was filed by an

attorney for the woman and her husband. It is a required precursor to a lawsuit against a government official.

Lawyer Augustine Jimenez III is seeking $7.5 million in a complaint that says jurors should consider an abuse of power “in this current climate where #MeToo is in the headlines.”

Rodriguez denied the allegations but said he did have an affair.

“I am not a perfect man, but the claims by my former assistant are simply not true and her demands for a financial settlement are outrageous,” Rodriguez said.

Rodriguez accused of harassment

Rich Rodriguez denied claims made by his ex-assistant and called her financial demands “outrageous.”

Arizona fired Rodriguez on Tuesday night. The university said it began an investigation in October after receiving a sexual harassment complaint against him but couldn’t back up the woman’s claims because she declined to be interviewed by the school.

The university said it would honor a buyout for Rodriguez that, according to USA Today, is worth $6.3 million. The coach arrived in Tucson after an ugly split with Michigan. He led the Wildcats to a 43-39 record and four straight bowl games.

weekendpass My D.C. dream day

E. BRADY ROBINSON

I think we’d go see a thing at the Kennedy Center Millennium Stage. I’m always pleasantly surprised by all the weird stuff they have there, because it flies under the radar. There’ll be this weird, sometimes dirty comedy happening at like 6 p.m. You can get a little champagne bottle and split it — it’s like a better version of a happy hour.

Svetlana Legetic CREATIVE STRATEGIST Svetlana Legetic knew she wanted her dream day to involve two things: a lot of walking, and murder. The co-founder of Brightest Young Things — the D.C. (and now New York and Chicago) events and culture site — is a little obsessed with murder mysteries, which explains the motivation behind her next project. “I have somehow persuaded Suns Cinema to play only mysteries in January,” says Legetic, 37. Why January? “There’s no better mystery than a snowed-in mystery: They’re these weird, kind of campy locked-in stories.” Each Thursday at the indie theater, the BYT Murder Club will screen some of Legetic’s favorites. Before she looks for clues, she’s got a big day planned.

I’d have a nice breakfast at home with fresh things I picked up at the Dupont Circle Farmers Market. I do a lot of breakfast tacos, but I grew up in Eastern Europe, so my flavors are Mediterranean. I do roasted red pepper spread, radishes, scallions. I’d have breakfast with my husband, Jason.

Then we’d go to some bookstores, which is our favorite thing to do in the world. We live within walking distance of three bookstores: Kramerbooks, Bridge Street Books and my favorite secondhand shop, Second Story Books. I read a lot of murder mysteries and I pick up a lot of those at Second

Story. I also just finished the Celeste Ng book “Little Fires Everywhere.” So we’ll pick up these books that we have no idea where to put. Our house is like Hoarders: Book Edition.

Then we’d go on a walk. We work so much with museums and stuff that I feel like I’m there all the time for work — I never go just for beauty. So on my perfect day, I would go and sit in a perfect room with things that are peaceful and wonderful. I thought about what those rooms are, and I have two: the tower of the National Gallery of Art, East Building and the Rothko Room at the Phillips Collection.

Then we’d have dinner. The main problem with dining in D.C. is that it’s either too casual or it’s so fancy that it’s a ridiculous financial and time commitment, and you’re held hostage by the experience.

Iron Gate and The Bombay Club are a good middle ground. At Iron Gate, you get a bunch of small plates to share, and it is very Mediterranean, which I love. The Bombay Club has kale chaat that’s kind of like a crispy situation with yogurt on top and it’s the best.

We’re getting dessert at Un Je Ne Sais Quoi. They do these merveilleux. It’s this meringue covered in whipped cream.

They’re perfect for sharing — they’re so overwhelmingly … everything. There’s no better dessert in D.C. Then we’d see a movie at Suns Cinema, because besides going to bookstores, going to Suns is our favorite thing in the world. We’re definitely going to be there all the Thursdays [in January] for BYT Murder Club. We’re going to start with “Sleuth,” with Laurence Olivier and Michael Caine. And we’re gonna finish with “Clue,” of course.

Then we’d have a drink at The Line hotel. [When it’s fully open] it’s gonna be delicious. There’s A Rake’s Progress from Spike Gjerde, and a bar from him and Corey Polyoka. I also curated the art program [at The Line], so I picked out all the art that’s in the rooms and the public spaces. It’s 100 percent local and 90 percent female — and no room is the same.

THE WAY YOU INTERPRET THE TITLE of “What

Prediction: Cash is history

Future: The Year’s Best Ideas to Reclaim,

Current situation: Cash appears to be on its way out around the world. In Sweden, for example, cash is used for only 15 percent of sales transactions.

Reanimate & Reinvent Our Future” reveals a lot about you, says Torie Bosch, one of the book’s editors. People who think we’re on the edge of disaster put the emphasis on the first word. More optimistic folks read it as “What Future!!” Bosch takes a balanced approach, reading the title as “Which future are we heading toward?”

“Every day we choose a path toward a different kind of future,” she says. “This book is about what kinds of futures we are shaping with the actions we all take every day.” The essay collection — which Bosch will discuss at Politics and Prose at The Wharf on Wednesday — covers a wide variety of topics, including genetic engineering, Mars colonization and selfdriving cars. Here are a few of the book’s possible scenarios and their pros and cons. SADIE DINGFELDER (EXPRESS) Politics and Prose at The Wharf, 70 District Square SW; Wed., 7 p.m., free.

Pros: A cashless society with traceable transactions would put ordinary muggers out of business, Bosch says. “The argument is, if there’s less cash, there’s less to steal,” Bosch says. “If you can’t sell a stolen iPhone for cash, there’s less incentive to commit crime.”

Cons: Many non-criminals aren’t exactly comfortable with the government or banks having a record of every transaction they make. Also, criminal activity may shift entirely from street muggings and physical thefts to online fraud and identity theft, Bosch says: “Criminals can always find a way.”

Prediction: Machines will take our jobs Current situation: Computers are already displacing factory workers. With the advent of increasingly sophisticated artificial intelligence, machines will start taking over the jobs of lawyers, doctors, accountants, computer programmers and reporters.

Prediction: Robots will take care of the elderly Current situation: Computer scientists are working on robots that can fold laundry, tidy up homes and even provide companionship for lonely seniors.

Pros: “We have a lot of elderly people and not a lot of people taking low-paying caretaker jobs,” Bosch says. “Robots might help fill a need that isn’t going to be filled by the labor market.” Plus, some people might prefer to have a robot’s help with intimate tasks, like washing up in the bathroom. “Robot caretakers could help preserve your dignity and independence,” Bosch says.

Cons: We may be tempted to abandon the elderly, leaving their care to bots that are unable to meet their need for love and

Pros: People will be free to focus on creative work, such as writing novels and coming up with ad campaigns. “There might be the creation of new jobs that we never dreamed of,” Bosch says.

Cons: We may be heading toward techno-feudalism, where Silicon Valley overlords hold all the wealth and the rest of us work in low-paying service jobs — if we work at all. “You can already use an app to have food brought to you, your laundry brought to you, make a frictionless appointment for house cleaning,” Bosch says.

One potential solution: The government could give everyone a guaranteed income to live on.

“I think we are going to see a lot more discussion of the universal basic income, maybe with some sort of volunteering requirement,” she says.

These experts told us what they think District residents will be talking about in 2018 — and now we’re off to snatch up tickets, T-shirts and restaurant reservations before everybody else.

THINKSTOCK/EXPRESS ILLUSTRATION

“I think news organizations are going to dig into collaboration a lot more.

There’s so much value in newsrooms combining their areas of expertise and getting a great story to wider audiences that consume news on different platforms. Competition is great in that it encourages everybody to be better, but collaboration has a lot going for it, too.”

THEATER

FOOD

“I think Asian influence is going to keep moving forward. You have [chefs] who are young and focused and really want to push forward something they grew up eating, how they experienced food through their families. It’s getting to specific roots: Thai, Laotian, Filipino.”

— Ryan Ratino, Bresca chef and owner; winner of the 2017 Rammy Award for rising culinary star of the year

“My dream for this city … is that people learn to think of this as a theater town, so that people who come in to see the monuments will start saying, ‘I better make sure I get tickets to this show or go to Arena Stage, go to Ford’s Theatre.’ I think we’re on the cusp of that being a big attraction for the city. D.C. has all these vibrant museums.

Theater is a museum of the soul, and D.C. should be a place that holds that.”

— Karen Zacarias, D.C. playwright and former Arena Stage playwright-in-residence

“We’re going to be eating a lot of boozy-flavored pastries to drown our sorrows and comfort ourselves. I’m a big fan of rye and bourbon, so that’s what we plan on doing.”

WELLNESS

— Meredith Tomason, RareSweets founder and pastry chef

HAIR

BODY ART

SPORTS

“People are getting braver in terms of shaving and undercuts, getting crazy underlays, wild vivid colors, etc. We have a lot of politically affiliated people [in Takoma Park] in particular, and they push the envelope with rosegold hair, pink streaks, etc., and they keep coming back for it again. Not something I would have seen 15 years ago when I started in the city.”

“The fact that you can get on Instagram and see thousands of tattoos from around the world in an instant has really kind of opened people’s eyes to what other people are doing and what’s possible.

Specific designs come and go quicker now — I can point to three dozen designs that are trendy, but by the time I give you the list they’ll be over.”

“2018 is going to be a defining year in D.C. sports, when you look at it being potentially Bryce Harper’s last year in D.C. He’s a free agent after this year.

I would assume that [by the end of] 2018, we would know whether he’s coming back.”

— Ian Palmiero, Scissor & Comb Salon co-owner

— Fatty, Fatty’s Tattoos & Piercings founder and owner

“There’s this budding wellness community that’s such a response to normal D.C. life. People in D.C. are learning and embracing that you can’t pour from an empty cup, and making sure they are taking care of themselves first so they can do good work. I imagine that over the next year, we’ll see more wellness-oriented events.

Young women in particular seem to really be embracing lifestyle changes to attend to their needs individually.”

— Becky Waddell, Take Care owner

— Kara Lawson, Washington Wizards primary television game analyst and former WNBA player

MARIJUANA COMEDY

“Edibles are really popular.

I think there’s a lot of opportunity there. What I’m most excited about is [D.C. Council member] David Grosso’s proposal to end the requirement to see a doctor to get medical cannabis, so people can just walk into dispensaries.”

“One trend I’m seeing is comedians adopting storytelling as part of their repertoire. It used to be that stand-up comedians didn’t want to be called storytellers because it wasn’t cool, but now being a comedic storyteller is seen as a selling point.”

— Joe Tierney, The Gentleman Toker blogger

— Amy Saidman, Story District artistic executive director

MUSIC

NIGHTLIFE

“I see a resurgence of classic house and techno sounds in the next year. Even people who would identify as listening to only hip-hop or only R&B are increasingly open to house and techno sounds and four-tothe-floor beats.”

“I can tell you what I hope will happen. It’s time that things cooled off a little bit with the ‘I’ve gotta change the whole world and reinvent the wheel [with my new bar or restaurant]’ and just focus on really good food and solid drinks.

There’s nothing wrong with people coming to town and opening these awesome places, because it gives D.C. more national press that it deserves. But you’ve gotta take care of the people that live here, too.”

“Vegetables are going to be big. They’re going to take off in 2018, I think, because a lot of people are trying to eat healthy and have less of an environmental impact.

I like to treat them like meat. I like sunchokes a lot. I like cauliflower — it has many different textures and flavors, and it takes well to everything.”

You didn’t alternate chapters — you wrote each page together.

How? We talked through every single line. We had Google Docs up so we could see each other in real time as we typed, and we could also have a conversation.

Generally, one of us takes the keyboard, we’re both talking, and the other dives in and starts typing simultaneously. We now speak in shorthand — we just say, “This, oh, yes, no, that, OK, got it.” We don’t even need to speak in full sentences because we’re so attuned.

Once a month, one of us will go to the other’s city and get a hotel room, and the second person will come. We wear exercise clothes

Sarah Pekkanen won’t say much about “The Wife Between Us,” the psychological thriller she wrote with Greer Hendricks. “You think you’re reading about a discarded ex-wife who’s obsessed with her replacement — the younger, beautiful woman her husband is set to marry,” Pekkanen says. “But you should suspend your assumptions.” Pekkanen and Hendricks, who’ll stop at Politics and Prose on Wednesday, met in 2008, when D.C.-based Pekkanen sold her first book to Hendricks, then an editor at Simon & Schuster in New York. Their collaboration is poised to become one of 2018’s biggest hits: It was optioned for film by Steven Spielberg’s Amblin Partners when it was only partially complete. Express talked to Pekkanen about “The Wife Between Us,” and the buzz around it. ANGELA HAUPT (FOR EXPRESS)

How did you and Hendricks become co-authors?

Greer and I became very close friends during the course of working on seven books together.

We would have long dinners when I went to New York and sit and talk for hours, and when she left publishing, she told me a secret, which was that she wanted to try to write fiction. I had just finished a book, and she was struggling to figure out what she wanted to write.

So I suggested [a joint project] to her, and she said, “Let me think about it for 24 hours.” And she emailed me at 5 a.m. the next morning, about 12 hours later, and said, “I’ve been up all night, I’m so excited, we have to do this.”

because when we’re creatively blocked, we walk around the block. We just write like crazy, we reward ourselves with dinner and then the next morning, we go at it again until we have to go home.

Why write a psychological thriller?

Greer and I both took a ton of psychology courses; we both subscribe to Psychology Today.

It’s something we’ve both been drawn to — human nature, why people act the way they do.

What was it like to get a movie deal before the book was even complete?

It was crazy. We spent a day

talking to different producers who were interested in the material, and we had only written the first act and a synopsis. What really stunned us was that these Hollywood producers asked such tough questions — they were so sharp: “What about this, and have you thought about this?”

They really had such different visions for what they might want to do with the material.

But when we spoke to Holly Bario [at Amblin Partners], she was so committed to the project.

And we loved the idea that we’re women telling a women’s story, and she’s a strong female exec who has a great record of movies. They did “The Girl on the Train,” and it just seemed like a perfect fit.

entertainment STREAMING Ntozake Shange’s “Wild Beauty” includes more than 60 poems, some new, some previously published.

ADGER COWANS

Netflix has yet another ‘Bright’ idea

The ‘Wild Beauty’ of Ntozake Shange’s life The ‘for colored girls’ author returns with a collection of poetry BOOKS The billboard on 42nd Street near Times Square was half a block long. Scrawled in rainbow colors was the title of an innovative new play, “for colored girls who have considered suicide / when the rainbow is enuf.” And adorning that 1977 billboard was a portrait of a young black woman in a do-rag: the playwright Ntozake Shange.

Shange’s rise to international fame and her sudden disappearance — followed by decades of physical and mental health challenges — are part of one of the most dramatic lives in Broadway history. Now, Shange reflects on these events and more in a new poetry collection, “Wild Beauty.”

In a manner seldom seen on Broadway, “for colored girls” was instantly recognized as classic — a watershed in the history of theater for the way it combined

poetry, music and dance into a seamless whole.

But Shange herself, after dancing and performing in her own play on Broadway for three weeks, suddenly disappeared to Europe.

For decades she fought substance abuse and depression, but as a teacher beloved by students at several universities, she never stopped writing plays.

In 1980, she won an Obie Award for her adaptation of Brecht’s “Mother Courage.” Still, a series of physical challenges continued, including the autoimmune disease CIDP, which left her hands nearly paralyzed for seven years.

Then, on All Saints’ Day in 2015, she felt “there was a poem floating around in my head.” She tried writing it down by hand, and her hand cramped up. She tried writing it on her iPad, and

Beyonce, The Weeknd, Eminem top Coachella lineup

her fingers slipped. At last, she sat down at her laptop and told herself, “OK, fool, give it a try!”

She typed out her first new poem in years, an overview of her whole life. Titled “these blessings,” it appears in “Wild Beauty,” which contains more than 60 new and previously published poems, all of which are also translated into Spanish by Alejandro Alvarez Nieves. The bilingual edition was Shange’s idea, reflecting her concern with the African diaspora throughout the Americas.

There is no question that Shange is a black writer. Not only does she write in a style that mimics the sound and syntax of black speech, but much of her material is drawn from the daily realities of black life. No poet since Langston Hughes has insisted so forcefully on black people’s right to simply be.

But much of what Shange writes is also about a loss of wholeness. More importantly, she writes of the dream to be whole once again. GERALD NICOSIA (FOR THE WASHINGTON POST)

Olivia Munn to host Critics’ Choice Awards Jan. 11

Despite scathing reviews from critics, Netflix has greenlit a sequel to “Bright,” with star Will Smith and director David Ayer expected to return.

“Bright,” about cops in an alternate version of Los Angeles where orcs, fairies and magic co-exist, is Netflix’s first big-budget release. Now Netflix hopes to turn “Bright” into its first film franchise, despite a 28 percent rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Viewer data, however, suggests “Bright” is a hit. Nielsen reported that 11 million watched “Bright” in the U.S. in the first three days of release. Netflix called “Bright” its most-viewed original film ever in its first week of release. Co-star Joel Edgerton is also set to return. Director Ayer will write the sequel instead of original screenwriter Max Landis. (AP)

‘9-1-1-’ isn’t the Ryan Murphy you’re used to TV REVIEW “9-1-1,” an engaging but surprisingly rote drama from hitmaker Ryan Murphy and co-creators Brad Falchuk and Tim Minear, premiered Wednesday on Fox, and from its initial siren wail, it seems very much like one of Dick Wolf’s Chicago-based NBC dramas about first responders, save for the Los Angeles location.

The idea here seems to be that these first responders will work more frantic shifts — ludicrously frantic, judging from the pilot, which includes a drowning teenager, a suicidal jumper, a baby flushed down a toilet and a python trying to kill its owner.

The show has an impressive cast: Connie Britton, above, (“American Horror Story”) co-stars as Abby Clark, a 911 dispatcher who is quick-thinking and stouthearted. Angela Bassett (another “AHS” alum) also stars as Athena Grant, a police field sergeant who seems to show up to just about any emergency call.

Finally there’s Peter Krause (“Six Feet Under”) as Bobby Nash, the station chief at a firehouse where gallows humor is a preferred coping mechanism.

The premiere often feels like a pilot from 10 or 15 seasons ago, and that’s a shame, because pilot episodes are something at which Murphy usually excels. A viewer keeps waiting for a real surprise to come along. But so far, nothing about “9-1-1” seems all that intriguing. HANK STUEVER (THE WASHINGTON POST)

“What if Donald Trump gets confused with the nuclear war button on his desk with the ‘someone get me a Diet Coke’ button on his desk?”

JOB!

@TONYPOSNANSKI, showing concern about President Trump’s tweets about the size of the “nuclear button” on his desk. Various news outlets reported that there is no such nuclear button, but there is a red button on the Resolute Desk that summons a White House butler, which presidents have used for decades.

New Year, New Job. And new possibilities for you.

@ROYWOODJR, tweeting about the Jan. 1 episode of “Jeopardy!,” in which contestant Nick Spicher lost $3,200 for saying “gangster” instead of “gangsta” when referencing Coolio’s 1995 song “Gangsta’s Paradise.” A “Jeopardy!” blog post explained that “gangsta” and “gangster” are listed separately in the Oxford English Dictionary.

“Mitt just sent the whole state of Utah a ‘u up’ text.” @ASTEADWESLEY, comparing Mitt Romney changing his location on his Twitter bio from Massachusetts to Utah to the trashy casual dating behavior that is the “u up?” text message. Since Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, announced Tuesday that he will retire from the Senate at the end of the year, many have been speculating that Romney will run for the seat. Romney’s bio update further fueled that speculation.

“Let Nick’s mistake be a lesson to us all.

Never Gangster.”

“There are things out there that weirdly go together but this is not one of those things.” @THIERRAA, tweeting about “crossushi,” which has been getting buzz on social media as a possible candidate for the latest outrageous food mashup “trend.” It’s a croissant filled with smoked salmon, seaweed, wasabi and ginger and it’s available at Mr. Holmes Bakehouse, which has several locations in California.

“I’ve lived in this state all my life and I REFUSE to pump my own gas. I had to do it once in California and almost died doing it.”

A FACEBOOK COMMENTER in Oregon, where it is now legal for residents to pump their own gas in some rural counties. Some Oregonians are very upset at the idea of people pumping their own gas, and people from other states are laughing at their indignation.

DIFFICULT

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Comparing yourself with others today isn’t likely to give you an accurate reflection of your worth. Look within yourself instead.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) The answer to a certain mystery is likely to surprise you today — but at least you can put it behind you.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You are never likely to see things quite as clearly again as you do today — but the reason may be uncertain.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) You may not be able to keep a promise today, but that doesn’t mean that you have to break it altogether, does it?

WEDNESDAY’S SOLUTION

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) A friend

comes to you with a problem that he or she finds rather embarrassing. You can help solve it in little time.

WEDNESDAY’S SOLUTION

don’t want to sacrifice those things you identify as uniquely yours; think carefully before making any decisions.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) You’re eager to collaborate with someone who shows just as much creative spark as you do. He or she is willing to give you a lot of authority.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) What happens behind your back today is likely to prove more significant than anything that happens in the open.

FOUR RACK TOTAL Make a 2-7-letter word from the letters in each row. Add points of each word using scoring directions at right. Seven-letter words get a 50-point bonus. Blank tiles used as any letter have no point value. Scrabble is a trademark of Hasbro in the U.S. and Canada.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You’ll take turns with someone who is in as much of a hurry as you are. Whether you go first or second, you can use all available time.

TODAY: Light snow remains possible through 10 a.m. or so.

Unless the storm tracks closer than anticipated, we probably won’t total more than a dusting to maybe an inch, with areas east of I-95 having the best chance of seeing the higher end of that range. Temperatures plummet tonight to lows in the single digits.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You’ll want to say things economically today; choose your words carefully, and don’t be tempted to say more than you mean. Protect yourself.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You may be afraid that what is coming cannot be handled quickly or effectively, but that’s simply a matter of insecurity.

You can do it.

Chip Gaines announced Tuesday on Instagram that he and his wife, Joanna Gaines, are expecting their fifth child. He shared a photo of the couple with the caption “Gaines party of 7.” The couple’s HGTV show “Fixer Upper” is now in its final season. The show follows the couple as they redo houses near their home in Waco, Texas. (AP)

In an interview with Town & Country magazine, Sarah Paulson discussed her decision not to have children. “It’s selfish, but I think the word selfish gets a bad rap,” she said. The actress said she sees the characters she’s played as her kids. “I’ve devoted more time and energy to creating a soft landing for all of them, as much as possible,” she said. “So I have been of service in a way.” (EXPRESS)

In a new interview with Vanity Fair, Emily Blunt described getting recognized in public with her husband, actor John Krasinski, who is best known for his work on “The Office.”

“John is, like, six-feet-three, and was playing the most approachable man in the world,” the actress said. “So people will be, like, ‘Jim!’ Guys want to high-five him.” She added that when she’s with her two children, she declines selfie requests from fans. “Social media has changed the landscape, so an encounter with you is valued more as a social media currency than a genuine interaction,” she said.

DJ Khaled has been named social media ambassador for Weight Watchers. The producer has joined the weight-loss program and will document his experience on Facebook, Instagram and Snapchat. “I can do whatever I want to do, as long as I follow the points,” Khaled said in a video announcement this week.
