A purrfect addition to the National Zoo

MEDIA

Current Newspapers files for bankruptcy

Saturday was a cold record for the region Pavel the tiger comes to the National Zoo by way of Chicago’s Lincoln Park Zoo.

Thomas Nast, symbolized what Nast regarded as the rapaciousness of the New York machine.

In addition, in Shakespeare’s “Henry V,” the king urges on his troops by calling on them to “imitate the action of the tiger,” an animal symbol of ferocity.

Endowed in this way with centuries of significance, and weighing about 310 pounds, Washington’s new tiger is named Pavel, and is the first Amur tiger here in 70 years, the zoo said.

A sort of animal-kingdom

SMITHSONIAN NATIONAL ZOO

THE DISTRICT A large animal, from a species that has been symbolically linked to one of Washington’s principal industries, has arrived at the National Zoo and is to go on exhibit there.

Covered in black, orange and white, it is a tiger — a 10-yearold Amur tiger. Also known as a Siberian tiger, its species has prowled the forests of northern China and Russia. Of all cats, the Amur tiger is the largest.

Zoo officials said that the animal has faced poaching and habitat loss in the wild. They said about 360 remain in the Russian Far East, near the Amur River.

In politics, Washington’s consuming passion, the tiger once stood for Tammany Hall, a New York vote-producing organization; Tammany mastered modern machine politics.

In the past eight years, the zoo’s African lions produced 13 cubs. So many lions left space only for them and for the zoo’s Sumatran tigers.

But after many cubs went to other zoos, as planned, the zoo said, space opened a l l ow i n g C h i c a g o ’s L i n coln Park Zoo to send Pavel.

The high was 21 degrees.

Metro’s ‘Rush-Hour Promise’

TRANSPORTATION The next time a Metro meltdown makes you late for work, you may be entitled to a refund.

A new program, billed the “Rush-Hour Promise,” will provide full refunds to peak-period rail and Metrobus riders who encounter delays of 15 minutes or more — customers who are more likely than others to reduce their ridership or abandon Metro entirely, the agency said.

It’s Metro’s strongest appeal to riders who have grown weary of Metro’s chronic reliability problems and have fled the system in droves. The rail system’s average weekday ridership of 615,000 trips is down significantly from 2008 peaks of 750,000, with research showing at least 30 percent of the losses stemming from customers citing reliability concerns, according to Metro.

In board documents to be released today, Metro expresses concern that customers have been slow to return to the system following the year-long SafeTrack maintenance program. Further, the agency says, “research shows that when a customer experiences a trip that takes 30 minutes or more than planned, they are significantly more likely to leave Metro entirely, or at a minimum, severely reduce how frequently they ride.”

Metro General Manager Paul J. Wiedefeld said the new program is an expression of the confidence the agency has in its ability to meet performance targets and provide reliable rush-hour service, while adding a measure of accountability for officials.

In the agency’s most recent Vital Signs report, statistics showed that 88 percent of rail customers’ trips were on time by last fall.

ASTRID RIECKEN (FOR THE WASHINGTON POST)

Agency will refund fares for peak-period riders delayed over 15 minutes

The Metro refund program is an effort to address customers who might otherwise abandon the transit system.

The improved reliability comes after Metro trimmed its operating hours and reduced service to expand overnight maintenance time and address budget concerns.

Metro estimates the program, which will run for the 2018 calendar year, will cost between $2 million and $3.5 million.

Metro said refund-eligible cases include medical emergencies, police investigations, arcing incidents, smoke and fire, and other unplanned disruptions such as emergency track work.

Traffic congestion, the common cause of bus slowdowns, is not a refund-eligible factor: Rather, the program accommodates for late dispatches and mechanical breakdowns.

“We believe the needle is moving and it’s moving in the right direction,” Wiedefeld said in an interview. “But I think for the customer, they really need to feel that and understand that we’re committed to it, and we’re holding ourselves accountable, and

How it works Metro customers traveling between two stations would be assessed a “MyTripTime” duration estimate. Those who fall 15 or more minutes outside the estimated trip window would get the full fare, between $2.25 and $6, credited to their SmarTrip cards. Unlike rail customers who would receive refunds automatically, bus riders would have to fill out an online form to request the $2 fare. Those who rely on passes, rather than stored value, would be refunded $3 for rail trips and $1 for bus trips. (TWP)

we’re willing to put something on the line to reinforce that.”

Wiedefeld said the proposal, which the Metro board will have to approve, is a type of built-in security for riders who depend on the system for their daily commute.

Metro Board Chairman Jack Evans was enthusiastic about the

Starting today, Metro SmarTrip cards will no longer permit negative balances

proposal, hailing it as an accomplishment for an agency whose reputation officials have worked to repair since the January 2015 L’Enfant Plaza smoke calamity that killed one person.

“I think this is a reflection of the progress we’ve made in the last two years,” Evans said.

But riders who complain of persistent slowdowns, offloads and disruptions may be surprised by the proportion of trips that would be refund-eligible under the program. In a four-month span from July through October, 285,296 Metro trips saw delays of 15 minutes or more, accounting for about 0.5 percent of trips overall during that period, according to the agency.

“If we’re still making progress and we can come forward and say that we’re at 90 percent of our trains on time now, then maybe 10 minutes would make sense instead of 15,” Evans said. “Right now, 15’s a good benchmark.”

Tally: Police fatally shot nearly 1K people in 2017 Number of unarmed black men killed was down again from 2015

INVESTIGATIONS For the third year in a row, police nationwide shot and killed nearly 1,000 people, a grim annual tally that has persisted despite widespread public scrutiny of officers’ use of fatal force.

Police fatally shot 987 people last year, or two dozen more than they killed in 2016, according to an ongoing Washington Post database project that tracks the fatal shootings. Since 2015, The Post has logged the details of 2,945 shooting deaths, culled from local news coverage, public records and social-media reports.

While many of the year-toyear patterns remain consistent, the number of unarmed black males killed in 2017 declined from two years ago. Last year, police killed 19, a figure tracking closely with the 17 killed in 2016.

In 2015, police shot and killed 36 unarmed black males.

Analysts said they are uncertain why the annual total shows little fluctuation — the number for 2017 is almost identical to the 995 killed by police in 2015.

Some observers think the tally might tie to the number of times police encounter people. Other experts are exploring whether the number tracks with overall violence in American society.

National scrutiny of shootings by police began after an unarmed black teenager from

a suburb of St. Louis was fatally shot by a white police officer in August 2014. The death of 18-year-old Michael Brown sparked widespread protests, prompted the White House to call for reforms, galvanized the Black Lives Matter movement and led many police agencies to examine their use of deadly force.

The attention may have helped police reduce the number of unarmed people shot and killed each year, according to interviews with experts and police departments. Officers fatally shot 94 unarmed people in 2015, but that number has been lower in the past two years, with 51 killed in 2016 and 68 in 2017.

“The national spotlight on this

issue has made officers more cautious in unarmed situations,” said Chuck Wexler, the executive director of the Police Executive Research Forum.

While the number of black males — armed and unarmed — who have been killed has fallen, black males continue to be shot at disproportionately high rates, the data shows.

Black males accounted for 22 percent of all people shot and killed in 2017, yet they are 6 percent of the total population. White males accounted for 44 percent of all fatal police shootings, and Hispanic males accounted for 18 percent. JOHN SULLIVAN, ZANE ANTHONY, JULIE TATE AND JENNIFER JENKINS (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Man dies after picking up suspected hand grenade

Groups pushing boycott of Israel to be denied entry

The home of Tina Johnson, who accused former U.S. Senate candidate Roy Moore of groping her, was destroyed in a fire that is being investigated as arson, though officials said they do not believe it is related to the allegations. Johnson’s house in Gadsden caught fire Wednesday morning while she and her husband were at work and her grandson was at school. Johnson was among several women who came forward with stories of questionable behavior or alleged sexual misconduct by Moore. More than $150,000 has been raised for the family to rebuild the home, ABC News reported.

A man picked up a suspected hand grenade from the ground and it detonated in his hand Sunday, killing him and injuring his companion, Swedish police said.

The blast took place about 11 a.m. outside the Varby Gard subway station in Huddinge, a residential district in greater Stockholm, police said. The man, in his 60s, was rushed to hospital but later died, police said. They said the woman, in her 40s, received minor wounds.

BDS, which stands for ‘’boycott, divestment and sanctions,” aims to pressure Israel into complying with international law vis-a-vis its policies toward the Palestinians. ( TWP)

A short list of people closest to Trump who might doubt his mental competence

Amid backlash, Bannon tries to mend fences

Donald Trump

Bob Corker

Rex Tillerson

GETTY IMAGES

POLITICS President Trump this weekend dived headfirst into a question that many won’t touch: Is he OK? “The Democrats and their lapdogs, the Fake News Mainstream Media are taking out the old Ronald Reagan playbook and screaming mental stability and intelligence,” he wrote Saturday on Twitter. “Actually, throughout my life, my two greatest assets have been mental stability and being, like, really smart.”

Trump’s tweet may have been in reaction to a new book, “Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House,” which says that some of the president’s advisers have privately belittled his sanity and intelligence.

Or he might have been thinking of Politico’s report that a Yale University psychiatrist met last month with a more than a dozen members of Congress — including an unnamed Republican senator — to discuss concerns that Trump was unstable.

As Trump noted, the politicians who most commonly go on record to question his mental fitness tend to be his enemies.

But there is a short list of people in or near Trump’s inner circle who have voiced doubts about his competence, or who have been reported to have done so, even if some later denied it.

At the top of the list is Sen. Bob Corker, R-Tenn., who in 2016 was considered a front-runner to become Trump’s running mate and, later, was a candidate for secretary of state, according to CNN. Corker’s high opinion of Trump did not survive the first year of Trump’s presidency.

Corker called reports that Trump had blurted out state secrets to Russia “worrisome” in May, as CNN noted. A few months later, when Trump appeared to

Before “Fire and Fury,” several high-ranking officials had voiced concerns about President Trump’s mental fitness.

praise marchers at a white supremacist rally in Charlottesville, Corker used the S word: “The president has not yet been able to demonstrate the stability nor some of the competence that he needs to demonstrate to be successful,” he said in August.

In October, Corker called the White House “an adult day care center” on Twitter and told reporters: “I’ve seen no evolution in an upward way. As a matter of fact, it seems to me it’s almost devolving.”

Secretary of State Rex Tillerson was so frustrated by the summer that he insulted the president in front of other Cabinet officials, according to NBC News, and called Trump a “moron.”

A spokeswoman for the State Department denied that Tillerson used the word, but the secretary initially did not. Months later — on Friday, hours before Trump tweeted about his mental abilities — Tillerson addressed

‘It’s that bad’ “Fire and Fury” author Michael Wolff on Sunday said if anything, his book understates the level of concern within President Trump’s inner circle. “If I left out anything, it was probably stuff even more damning. It’s that bad,” Wolff said on “Meet the Press.” He went so far as to raise the specter of the 25th Amendment, in which a president’s Cabinet could attempt to remove him from office for being unable to perform his duties. Asked if folks in the White House talked about that possibility, Wolf added: “All the time. … The 25th amendment concept is alive every day in the White House.”

But he said Trump’s aides refuse to confront him. “It’s how to look away, how not to confront,” he said. (TWP)

While it wasn’t intended to be

public, a conversation last summer between Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, and Sen. Jack Reed, D-R.I., ended up in the news after someone left a microphone switched on after a subcommittee hearing. “I think — I think he’s crazy,” Reed said. “I mean, I don’t say that lightly and as a kind of a goofy guy.”

“I’m worried,” Collins replied.

Some of the most dramatic reports questioning Trump’s sanity and intelligence are also the shakiest. The president’s friend, Thomas J. Barrack, is quoted in “Fire and Fury” as calling him “not only crazy but stupid.” But Barrack denied saying any such thing and compared Trump to Socrates in an interview with The New York Times.

In the same article, the newspaper reported that Trump’s sonin-law and adviser, Jared Kushner, has his own take: Trump is “crazy,” Kushner said, according to The Times, “but he’s a genius.”

AVI SELK (THE WASHINGTON POST)

POLITICS Steve Bannon, President Trump’s former chief strategist, released a statement Sunday reaffirming his support for the commander in chief and praising Trump’s eldest son as “both a patriot and a good man.”

Bannon infuriated Trump with comments to author Michael Wolff describing a June 2016 meeting at Trump Tower in New York between Donald Trump Jr., Trump aides and a Russian lawyer as “treasonous” and “unpatriotic.”

Bannon said his description was aimed at former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort, who also attended the meeting, and not Trump’s son.

“I regret that my delay in responding to the inaccurate reporting regarding Don Jr. has diverted attention from the president’s historical accomplishments,” Bannon said, adding that his support for Trump was “unwavering.”

Hours earlier, administration officials used Sunday news shows to try to undermine Wolff’s “Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House,” which portrays the president as a leader who doesn’t understand the weight of his office and whose competence is questioned by aides.

Chief policy adviser Stephen Miller’s interview on CNN grew heated, with Miller criticizing CNN’s coverage. Moderator Jake Tapper abruptly ended the interview, saying: “I think I’ve wasted enough of my viewers’ time.” JILL COLVIN (AP)

Ship spills oil in China sea Iranian tanker’s crew of 32 all missing after collision with freighter CHINA An Iranian oil tanker collided with a freighter and caught fire off China’s east coast, leaving the tanker’s entire crew of 32 missing and causing it to spill oil into the sea, authorities said Sunday.

Chinese authorities dispatched police vessels and three cleaning ships to the scene after the collision late Saturday. The South Korean coast guard also sent a ship

and a plane to help search for the missing crew members — 30 Iranians and two Bangladeshis.

The Panama-registered tanker Sanchi was sailing from Iran to South Korea when it collided with the Hong Kong-registered freighter CF Crystal in the East China Sea, 160 miles off the coast of Shanghai, Chinese officials said. All 21 crew members of the Crystal, which was carrying grain from the U.S., were rescued, officials said.

It wasn’t immediately clear what caused the collision.

Former UN envoy and WTO chief Peter Sutherland of Ireland dies at 71

Television reported Sunday evening that the tanker was still floating and burning, and that oil was visible in the water. But it was not clear whether the tanker was still spilling oil.

The size of the oil slick caused by the accident was not known.

The Sanchi was carrying nearly 1 million barrels of condensate, a type of ultra-light oil, according to Chinese authorities.

By comparison, the Exxon Valdez was carrying 1.26 million barrels of crude oil when it spilled 260,000 barrels off Alaska’s coast in 1989. GERRY SHIH (AP)

Alabama’s Da’Ron Payne

Georgia’s Nick Chubb

Smash-mouth finale

COLLEGE FOOTBALL NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP | NO. 3 GEORGIA VS. NO. 4 ALABAMA, 8 TONIGHT, ESPN

Title game will showcase old-school, run-heavy offenses and giants in the trenches Why Georgia will win

Why Alabama will win

Rushing tandem: In 1980, Herschel Walker’s decision to sign with Georgia laid the groundwork for a national title that year. Similarly, the 2017 Bulldogs’ hopes turned on the decisions by tailbacks Nick Chubb and Sony Michel to return for their senior seasons. Chubb and Michel combined to run for 326 yards against Oklahoma to become the most productive tandem in FBS history (8,259 yards), passing SMU’s Eric Dickerson and Craig James.

Poised passer: Freshman QB Jake Fromm is no game manager.

He’s passed for 23 touchdowns and rarely makes mistakes. He won his first start at Notre Dame, making the coaches and teammates who said he has unusual poise look smart.

He threw two TD passes without a pick in the SEC title game, and he threw two more in the Rose Bowl.

NFL talent on defense: Outside linebackers Lorenzo Carter and Davin Bellamy announced their return to school at the same time as Chubb and Michel, and Carter blocked a field goal in the second overtime against Oklahoma. Inside linebacker Roquan Smith, the Butkus Award winner, is the best pro prospect of the bunch.

Blankenship’s boot: To win national championships the oldschool, SEC way, you must feature a strong kicking game to go along with a hard-nosed run game and a smothering defense. Georgia’s Rodrigo Blankenship has made 17 of 20 field goals, including an important 55-yarder to close the first half at the Rose Bowl. He scored 17 points against Missouri this season with four field goals and five extra points. CHARLES ODUM (AP)

Stout run defense: Georgia has perhaps the best running back duo in college football, but the fourthranked Crimson Tide shuts down opposing ground games better than anybody. Linebacker Rashaan Evans and defensive tackle Da’Ron Payne lead a front seven full of behemoths who key the nation’s No. 1 rushing defense. Alabama gives up just 91.8 yards rushing per game.

Capable reserves: Starting linebacker Anfernee Jennings is out after suffering a knee injury in the Sugar Bowl win over Clemson.

That probably leaves Terrell Lewis or James Mosley to start. But coach Nick Saban’s recruiting prowess means Alabama is well-stocked with talent. Linebacker Mack Wilson made his first start in the semifinal and posted six tackles and a pick-six.

Experienced secondary: Junior safety Minkah Fitzpatrick, a first-team AP All-America, leads a group of defensive backs laden with upperclassmen. They’ll face off against true freshman quarterback Jake Fromm, who struggled this season when his run game was shut down. Fromm went 13-of-28 when Nick Chubb and Sonny Michel were held to a combined 47 yards rushing in a regular-season loss to Auburn.

Saban dominates pupils: Georgia coach Kirby Smart knows Alabama well — he was Saban’s defensive coordinator there for eight years. But Saban is 11-0 against former assistants, and none have come closer than 17 points against his Tide teams. Saban has also had a full year to emphasize his “Don’t waste a failure” mantra to his team following a title game loss to Clemson. JOHN ZENOR (AP)

SNEAKER DEAL

Report: Wall will endorse Adidas again John Wall’s days as a sneaker free agent are apparently over. Yahoo Sports’ Shams Charania reported Sunday that the point guard agreed to a five-year deal with Adidas, the company he broke ties with in 2015. Terms of the deal were not immediately available. Before the Wizards drafted him No. 1 overall in 2010, Wall signed a five-year, $25 million deal with Reebok. In 2013 he left for Reebok’s parent company, Adidas. The Vertical reported that Wall’s signature shoes didn’t sell well, but Adidas offered him an eight-year, $66 million extension, which he rejected. Wall reportedly wanted a deal similar to that of Houston’s James Harden, whom Adidas signed for 13 years and $200 million.

Saints safety Vonn Bell sacked Cam Newton near midfield to quash a Panthers rally and force a turnover on downs with six seconds left in an NFC wild-card game Sunday in New Orleans.

With the 31-26 win, the thirdseeded Saints advanced to face the second-seeded Vikings at 4:40 p.m. Sunday in Minneapolis.

Carolina was down 12 with 5:08 left, but Newton (349 yards, 2 TDs) connected with Christian McCaffrey on a 56-yard score to trim the lead. After a defensive stand, Newton drove Carolina to New Orleans’ 21-yard line before Cameron Jordan forced him to commit intentional grounding.

Drew Brees threw for 376 yards and two touchdowns with an interception. (EXPRESS)

Stressed young things

Millennials have the highest levels of anxiety of all generations. Work is a big part of it.

CAREERS For Kemba Neptune, stress comes with her career. The 27-year-old D.C. public relations account executive already chose a line of work that made CareerCast.com’s top-ten list of most stressful jobs in 2016 and 2017.

But a recent job switch to a new firm has upped Neptune’s stress level. She’s now doing PR for tech companies, a sector in which she’d never worked before.

“That’s a whole new beast,” she says. “Getting accustomed to that very fast-moving tech startup life was kind of difficult.

Everyone thought I was just supposed to get it; it was a rough adjustment for me.”

Neptune is far from the only millennial feeling pressure in the office. Since 2014, the American Psychological Association has found that millennials have the highest reported stress levels of any generation. In 2017, millennials reported an average stress level of 5.7 out of 10. Generation Xers weren’t too far behind at 5.3, but baby boomers rated their stress level at only 3.9.

Work is a common cause of this stress. A 2017 survey by staffing

Backup tight end Ben Koyack spikes the ball after catching a 1-yard TD pass from Blake Bortles on fourth down.

SEAN GARDNER (GETTY IMAGES)

Blake Bortles put together one decent drive, doing as much with his legs as his arm, and the defensive-minded Jaguars eked out a 10-3 victory over the Bills in an AFC wild-card game Sunday in Jacksonville, Fla. In the playoffs for the first time in 10 years, the third-seeded Jaguars (11-6) play at No. 2 Pittsburgh at 1:05 p.m. next Sunday.

The sixth-seeded Bills (9-8) had ended the longest current playoff drought — 17 years — in North American pro sports.

Bortles was off most of the day, misfiring short and long.

He completed 12 of 23 passes for 87 yards with a touchdown pass to backup tight end Ben Koyack late in the third quarter that was his best throw of the game. It also was a gutsy call on fourth-andgoal from the 1.

Bortles did the rest on the ground, scrambling for first downs and helping Jacksonville win its first playoff game at home since the 1997 season. He led the Jaguars in rushing with 88 yards.

The Bills had chances down the stretch, but a penalty against tight end Charles Clay and then a tackle that knocked quarterback Tyrod Taylor out of the game ended any threat of a comeback.

Taylor slammed his helmet against the ground after getting thrown down by Dante Fowler Jr.

Painting helps Kemba Neptune de-stress from her public relations job.

firm Accountemps found that 64 percent of professionals between the ages of 18 and 34 felt stress on the job. That’s compared with 59 percent of employees ages 35 to 54 and just 35 percent of those 55 and older.

What’s causing this workplace tension and anxiety for millennials? Many don’t feel they have the kind of job security and opportunities for advancement they’d like. A lot of millennials entered the job market during or shortly after the Great Recession.

“The jobs that they came out of college or training courses for just weren’t there,” says Brandon

McCollough, founder of Generation-Next, a D.C. career development firm that works with millennials. “They had to take positions either outside of their studies or that were more entry-level than they expected. They’re not earning as much as they think they should or as previous generations were at the same point.”

Crushing levels of student debt are adding to this income pressure. And millennials are used to instant gratification, something they can’t expect on the job.

“Our whole lives have been almost like a drop-down-andclick menu,” says Leah Carol, a D.C.-area life and business coach

who works with millennials and is one herself. (Millennials are generally defined as being born between 1981 and 1997, though there are some variations to that range out there.) “We worked really hard, joined all the clubs, did everything in this very ambitious and competitive world. And when it comes time for a job, we feel a lot of dissatisfaction if we’re just filing papers. There’s seemingly no reward for all the hard work we put in.”

All of this leaves many millennials with unrealistic expectations, Carol says. “There’s a lack of understanding of paying your dues [among millennials],” she says. “There’s such a focus on the finish line rather than the steps needed to get to the finish line.”

Neptune has seen her peers stressed by over-focusing on minutiae. “Millennials really want to learn all the nitty-gritty things,” she says. “But while we’re spending a couple hours on Google [getting bogged down in small details], someone in an older generation might get upset and say, ‘Just figure it out. Get the big picture and let’s get CONTINUED ON PAGE 16

Recruiting pact grows in 2017 Dozens more selective colleges and universities have joined the American Talent Initiative, a pact to recruit more students from low- to moderateincome families, nearly tripling the total that launched the effort a year ago. The pact set a goal last year of adding 50,000 highachieving students with significant financial need by 2025 at roughly 270 schools with high graduation rates. In December 2016, the initiative began with 30 members, including several Ivy League schools. Now the total is up to 86. Newcomers include the University of Virginia, the rest of the Ivy League and several University of California campuses.

Specific commitments vary among the colleges, but most pledge to increase the number of students who qualify for needbased Pell Grants.

Social media can also contribute to workplace stress for millennials, making them constantly compare their lives and careers to others’.

“There’s an obsession with thinking that everyone has it better,” Carol says. “So they get really stressed out by seeing what other people are doing and feeling insufficient.”

Gen Xers and baby boomers don’t tend to feel as much pressure to keep up with the Joneses (or Kardashians, more likely).

Jonathon Perrelli, CEO and co-founder of D.C.-based startup LifeFuels, is 46 but oversees a predominantly millennial staff. His company has taken steps to help

reduce workplace stress, offering benefits like a flexible vacation policy and low-cost gym memberships for employees. It has also created an environment that sets employees up for success.

“One of the things that helps relieve stress is giving people authority,” he says. “If someone has the responsibility for something to get done, they also need to have the authority to execute.

If they only have one of those things, they’re going to be pretty stressed out.”

A clear-cut career plan can create feelings of security for millennials. “Having that sort of plan laid out with your manager helps millennials set goals and visualize their path forward,” McCollough says. “Young professionals want a chance to develop professionally and get into higher

management roles. When they stop seeing that, they start to feel stress set in.”

If millennials are stuck in a job that’s simply paying the bills rather than stoking their passions, Carol suggests some self-evaluation.

“What is intrinsically important to you and how do you want to be feeling every day?” she asks. “If you’re not feeling that, where in your schedule can you fit in the activities that intrinsically make you feel good?”

Neptune paints during her off hours. “That’s what brings me my peace,” she says. “And having a really great relationship with the people I work with. If you’re working until 11 at night, it makes you feel better to have someone with you in the same struggle.” BETH LUBERECKI (FOR EXPRESS)

She’s made travel her full-time job

Katalina Mayorga leaned on her Latin American expertise when she started her travel company.

Name: Katalina Mayorga, 32 Position: Founder and CEO, El Camino Travel

What she does

EMMA McALARY

s t ea l th i s jo b

Shampooing her hair. That’s when Katalina Mayorga came up with the name for her millennial-focused travel company, El Camino Travel. “You can’t have your phone in the shower so you can’t be distracted by anything,” Mayorga says. “You’re literally just sitting with your own thoughts,

which is happening way less [often] with social media.”

Social media is what inspired her to start the company in the first place. A few months earlier, in May 2014, while on a business trip in Guatemala, she found that people weren’t actually engaging with their surroundings.

“At very beautiful spots, all of the tourists were on their phone the whole time,” Mayorga says.

“Everyone was looking at these beautiful volcanoes around this

lake through the screens of their phones, including myself.” On her plane ride back to the States, she began to plan her company.

Over the last three years, El Camino Travel has taken nearly 400 travelers to five countries in Latin America. As part of Mayorga’s mission to disconnect from social media, El Camino brings along a professional photographer for each of its trips, which she says helps travelers stay in CONTINUED ON PAGE 18

the moment and create real connections. “The fact that they’re not on their phone all of the time allows them to just fully immerse themselves in that experience,” Mayorga says. “You can’t really build a connection with someone, especially if you don’t speak the same language, if there’s a phone screen between you and that person.”

While her day-to-day in D.C. is the nitty-gritty of running a start-up, (managing accounting, schedules and yes, social media), and though these days she partners with locals to guide and host trips, rather than leading them herself, she remains hands-on with each trip. Mayorga arranges for travelers to team up with local

creatives, including designers, architects and entrepreneurs, to create unique experiences for travelers. Past trips have featured meals of freshly caught fish on the beach and walking tours with local graffiti artists.

“We found destinations that are of interest to travelers right now … places where we can provide an immersive and unique experience that travelers wouldn’t be able to get on their own,” Mayorga says.

“You can’t really build a connection with someone … if there’s a phone screen between you.”

How she got the job

Who would want this job

Mayorga developed an intimate knowledge of the region from running her own consulting business in international development throughout Latin America.

She also uses her family history every day in her work — her parents are from Colombia, and she’s been traveling there for years.

She paired this with her keen business acuity, spotting a void in the multibillion-dollar travel industry: a premium travel brand for millennials focused on what she calls “experiential tourism.”

A job like Mayorga’s requires an innate ability to find experiences travelers never knew they wanted. “Our traveler is someone who wants to go to that trendy rooftop bar in Mexico City that they’ve seen on Instagram and have that beautiful mezcal drink that they saw their favorite influencer take a photo of,” she says.

“But at the same time, they want to hit the ground running and go to that hole-in-the-wall taco place that has the best tacos al pastor in all of Mexico City but that

KATALINA MAYORGA, CEO and founder of El Camino Travel

only locals know about — those hidden gems.”

How you can get the job For all of the would-be entrepreneurs out there, the most important thing, according to Mayorga, is learning on the go.

“I asked a lot of people for advice, but I really didn’t know the travel industry at all,” Mayorga says.

The trick, she says, is to try your

ideas out and learn from all of the feedback you receive.

To do that, Mayorga has three rules. First, find what she calls your “north star” by having a clear understanding of your vision, mission and unique voice to guide your work. At the same time, you need to be open to failure. “The idea is that you fail quickly and you fail cheaply,” Mayorga says. Finally, be flexible and take feedback in stride — without fundamentally changing your brand because of it.

Mayorga often looks to her favorite quotation, which she has tattooed on her arm: “Caminante, no hay camino, se hace camino al andar,” which, roughly translated from Spanish, means “Traveler, there is no path, paths are made by wandering.”

MUST-SEE THIS WEEK

1 ‘David Bowie: The Last Five Years’

Jahking Guillory as Coogie and Jason Mitchell as Brandon in Showtime’s “The Chi.”

An authentic portrait

SHOWTIME PHOTOS

8 p.m. today on HBO

Lena Waithe’s ‘The Chi’ is best when it gives life to a community known for its killings TV REVIEW TV shows are getting so good at relevance and realism that it’s worth reminding ourselves that they’re still works of fiction. They are drawn from life and can deliver universal truths, but they’re not here to carry the burdens of advocacy journalism.

Showtime’s “The Chi,” created

by Emmy-winning writer Lena Waithe, is a demonstration of how a story is not the same as a report.

Set on the South Side of Chicago, a city that holds the dishonor of having America’s highest murder count (despite a significant drop in killings in 2017), “The Chi,” which premiered Sunday, advertises itself as yet another up-close and personal story about life in the violent inner city.

It begins by following a freespirited teenage boy named

Coogie (Jahking Guillory), who ends up witnessing the shooting death of a high school basketball star; approaching the body, he unwisely helps himself to the victim’s shoes, phone and jewelry.

A determined police detective, Rick Cruz (Armando Riesco), brings Coogie in for questioning.

Coogie’s alcoholic mother (Sonja Sohn) agrees to let her older son, Brandon (Jason Mitchell), an aspiring prep cook in a hipster restaurant, look after Coogie.

Elsewhere in the neighborhood, 12-year-old Kevin (Alex Hibbert) defies the teasing of his best friends (Michael Epps and Shamon Brown) to audition for his middle school’s production of “The Wiz.” Kevin’s older sister, Kiesha (Birgundi Baker), has started hooking up with Emmett (Jacob Latimore), a ladies’ man

$36M

who acquires and sells highly sought sneakers and works at a neighborhood greasy spoon.

Notice how in all that detail there is no mention of gang warfare, drug deals and shootings. Waithe is from the South Side; with showrunner Elwood Reid and the show’s writers, she

makes sure “The Chi” demonstrates the dignity in routine and the concept that home is home, even amid poverty and violence.

But, since “The Chi” is first and foremost a crime drama, it progresses with a crime-focused story arc that struggles to cohere. “The Chi” is just better when it transpires in living rooms and kitchens instead of alleys and poorly lit sidewalks.

Yes, it sounds extraordinarily privileged to suggest that the South Side’s crime rate is getting in the way of the sweeter tales of a neighborhood and its people. Perhaps that’s the strongest point “The Chi” makes: When you’re living in the middle of the nation’s highest body count, it becomes nearly impossible to pretend that life goes on.

This documentary explores the rock legend’s final years before his 2016 death — a time spent working on two albums (“The Next Day” and “Blackstar”) and a Broadway musical (“Lazarus”).

2 ‘Philip K. Dick’s Electric Dreams’ Friday on Amazon

This anthology sci-fi series consists of 10 stand-alone episodes, each inspired by a different short story

3 ‘My Next Guest Needs No Introduction With David Letterman’ Friday on Netflix

It’s like 2003 all over again!

Supermodel Tyra Banks is back as host of “America’s Next Top Model,” the reality show she launched 15 years ago. Once a top-rated CW show, “ANTM” faded away in 2015, only to return a year later on VH1 with Rita Ora stepping into Tyra’s stilettos.

But now Tyra has resumed

her role as ruler of “ANTM,” which kicks off its 24th cycle at 8 p.m. Tuesday.

The queen of “smizing” (smiling with your eyes) is in fine form, claiming that “ANTM” “changed the definition of beauty” by demonstrating beauty comes “in all shapes, all sizes and all colors.” (Though a review of past winners reveals mainly svelte sizes and no Asians, to name one omitted ethnic group.)

VH1

Smize queen: Tyra Banks returns to ‘Top Model’ Tyra Banks, second from left, reigns on “America’s Next Top Model” yet again, alongside judges Law Roach, Ashley Graham and Drew Elliott.

Now Tyra claims “ANTM” will break another barrier with the removal of the age limit for contestants. There is a 42-yearold grandmother, a 34-year-old who dares to TALK BACK

Jerry Van Dyke, star of “Coach” and brother of Dick Van Dyke, dead at 86

TO TYRA and a 32-year-old Siberian immigrant who says she has “cellulite and stretch marks all over me.”

The judges are plus-size model Ashley Graham; Law

Roach, stylist to Zendaya, who has Cher hair and says one model “takes my gay away”; and Drew Elliott, creative director for Paper magazine, who supervises shoots by shouting at models, “Do something!”

And even though one contestant says, “Everything’s just so different this time around,” fans will be happy to know it’s really exactly the same. The models cry, scream and call each other “sociopaths.” And of course there’s a mean girl who declares, “Not everybody’s going to like me and I’m not going to like everybody either.”

The queen has spoken!” @DINNERSREADY_, after Mariah Carey tweeted Sunday that a

friend asked her to meet for brunch and she suggested a late dinner — linner — instead. “I don’t do brunch, it’s daytime!!” Carey tweeted. Carey’s fans took note and updated their schedules accordingly. @xMurderCWrote tweeted: “Mariah said brunch is cancelled so we’re doing #linner all 2018.”

Warriors star Steph Curry helps internet comedian Rudy Mancuso with his New Year’s resolutions. The music video, which was an ad for a Brita water pitcher, was trending on YouTube this weekend. Brita drops “the hottest track of 2018,“ @kaelob_regan tweeted.

Silverman then tweeted a call-out for back specialists to help him.

35 | 17 TODAY: This is our transition day, as winds from the south help afternoon highs reach the mid- to upper 30s under mostly cloudy skies. A light wintry mix is possible as a cold front comes through from mid-afternoon into evening.

Even with temperatures probably above freezing, some slick spots are possible.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You have
