page three Riders resigned to Metro’s woes ANALYSIS Maybe it’s because there are so many other things to worry about these days, but Metro riders seem to have become downright philosophical about how lousy Washington’s transit system is.

Few seem shocked in any way that a Metro train jumped the tracks on Monday. After all the other problems that have come to light in the past few years, it’s almost as if D.C. commuters expect a derailment now and then.

“I read about it last night, and I thought, ‘Oh, great — I’m going to have a long commute,’ ” Harold Singer said Tuesday while riding the Red Line from downtown to Van Ness. His commute was an hour worse than he anticipated.

Yet Singer said the thought never crossed his mind that he would get to and from work without Metro. He swiped his SmarTrip card and climbed aboard the troubled system, because what else is he going to do?

Monday’s derailment seemed to follow a script. Once again, it seemed as if Dixie cups and string might work better in an emergency than Metro’s radios.

Once again, riders waited a long time in a car fogged with smoke or dust before anyone evacuated them. Once again, people wondered what happened to all that money that went into the system’s overhaul under the year-long SafeTrack initiative, or the $5 billion Metro Forward program before that.

If there was any silver lining, it was the glow sticks that Metro handed out to help passengers find their way to safety. But after a year of large-scale rebuilding and promises of renewal through campaigns such as SafeTrack and Back2Good, Washington commuters are once again wondering when the turnaround will come. Still, they get on the trains.

Gizella Olivo, 31, who lives in Rosslyn, hadn’t heard about the derailment as she was heading to work on Tuesday.

But Olivo said the derailment, as terrifying as the thought of such a thing might be, wouldn’t

Other riders and members

of the #wmata Twitterverse didn’t think so. To them, the latest mishap — almost three years to the day after a fatal accident and more than a year after emergency shutdowns and high-profile repairs — seemed to suggest that Metro could run its trains on rails of gold and the system would still break down.

Some drivers on Interstate 66 in Northern Virginia paid a $39 toll during Tuesday morning’s rush hour, just as a technical glitch prevented prices from showing up online and on a mobile app.

The problem occurred between 8:47 a.m. and 9:30 a.m., according to officials with the Virginia Department of Transportation. It wasn’t known how many drivers paid the toll, as it takes three days for VDOT to process those details.

Va. residents fight park’s name change U.S. House bill would rename Gravelly Point after Nancy Reagan ARLINGTON COUNTY In addition to changing the tax code, rolling back Obamacare and pumping up border security, add this to the congressional Republican to-do list: renaming a popular park in deep-blue Arlington after Nancy Reagan.

A Hou s e c om m it te e o n Wednesday advanced a bill that would rename Gravelly Point Park after the former first lady, roiling local residents who are still upset about the renaming of Washington National Airport after Ronald Reagan 20 years ago.

The bill passed the House Natural Resources Committee along party lines over the objections of Rep. Don Beyer, D-Va., who accused Republicans of forcing the name change despite a complete lack of local support or input.

“I have great respect for Nancy Reagan,” Beyer said.

“But this bill is the equivalent of someone coming in and changing the furniture in your house without asking you.”

Grover Norquist, the conservative anti-tax crusader behind this proposed change as well as the airport name change two decades ago, called Beyer’s opposition “partisan and tacky.”

The debate on Wednesday revived the heated 1998 fight over

Republicans hope to rename Gravelly Point Park, which is along the Potomac River in Arlington County, after former first lady Nancy Reagan.

renaming the airport, which remains fresh enough in the minds of many local Democrats that they insist on calling it by its original moniker, “National Airport.”

Gravelly Point, a strip of federally controlled land along the west bank of the Potomac River, provides local residents a popular picnic spot and an ideal vantage point from which to watch planes take off and land. There’s a volleyball net and boat launch.

“Congress should take direction on this frivolous effort from Nancy Reagan herself and ‘just say no,’ ” Laura Saul Edwards, a Democratic activist from Northern Virginia, wrote on Facebook.

Gravelly Point is adjacent to the airport and renaming it the Nancy Reagan Memorial Park would honor the couple at the

gateway to the nation’s capital, said the bill’s sponsor, Rep. Jody Hice, R-Ga. “I cannot think of a more fitting tribute for the service of a beloved first lady, while forever cementing a piece of the Reagan family legacy on the East Coast,” he said.

Beyer said he wasn’t even given the courtesy of a heads-up from Hice. “While I understand the desire to honor political figures, something like this should not be done without involving the local community,” Beyer said on the House floor. “This would be the equivalent of my offering a bill in Mr. Hice’s district to rename the Oconee National Forest’s campground the Hillary Clinton campground or the Michelle Obama campground.”

MARYLAND KATHERINE FREY (THE WASHINGTON POST)

TRANSPORTATION Rep. Barbara Comstock, R-Va., on Wednesday demanded that Metro officials release documents related to Monday’s Red Line derailment, accusing the transit agency of trying to gloss over persistent problems regarding safety and infrastructure.

In a cutting letter to Metro General Manager Paul Wiedefeld, Comstock said that in her view, “the system has gotten worse.”

“Another day; another Metro derailment,” the letter began.

“Many [riders] come to expect these incidents as routine and a normal risk of their commute.”

Comstock said she wants Metro to release a number of documents related to the derailment, including records on inspections, ultrasonic testing, and geometric measurement testing that took place in the weeks and months leading up to the derailment.

Comstock also takes issue with Metro’s advertising campaign for its “Back to Good” program,

Kelly voices optimism over deal for ‘Dreamers’ POLITICS As House Republican leaders worked to avoid a government shutdown by rounding up votes for a short-term spending bill, White House chief of staff John Kelly expressed optimism that Congress will work out a deal to protect “Dreamers.”

Kelly gave an upbeat assessment of the state of play in the debate over legal status for immigrants brought to the U.S. illegally as children, while offering no timetable for when an agreement might be reached. His comments came as Republicans expressed cautious optimism that they have the votes to pass the short-term spending bill by midnight Friday.

“The DACA deal will be worked out, I think, by the United States Congress,” Kelly said Wednesday. “Both sides of the aisle have agreed to meet in a smaller group and come up with [what] they think is the best DACA deal, and then it’ll of course be presented to the president.” DACA refers to the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program.

Later, the White House expressed support for the shortterm spending bill, and congressional liaison Marc Short said he was optimistic it would pass.

But at least one Senate Republican — Lindsey Graham of South

Chief of staff’s remarks come as GOP indicates hope for spending bill

John Kelly said some of Trump’s immigration pledges were uninformed.

Carolina — complicated the GOP outlook, saying he had informed leaders he would oppose the bill.

“I’m tired of it,” Graham said.

“This is the fourth one we’ve done, and you’re killing the military.”

Still, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., said there is a “good chance” the bill will pass in the Senate. “We’ll be taking that up as soon as it comes over from the House,” he said.

House GOP leaders hoped to vote today on a bill to keep the government open through Feb. 16 while extending a popular children’s health program and rolling back several taxes in the Affordable Care Act. Meanwhile, Kelly conceded

during a meeting with the Congressional Hispanic Caucus that there would be no “concrete wall from sea to shining sea” and no wall “that Mexico will pay for.”

His comments were confirmed by four lawmakers and a senior aide who were present.

“Certain things are said during the campaign that are not fully informed,” Kelly said, according to the lawmakers and the aide.

Kelly told lawmakers that he has helped President Trump “evolve on issues of the wall,” and that Trump “campaigned against DACA” but has “lightened up” since then. MIKE DEBONIS,

Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke has not met with parks board members.

2016, when then-Secretary Sally Jewell designated 24.

It also underscores the extent to which federal advisory bodies have been marginalized under the Trump administration. In May 2017, Zinke suspended all outside committees while his

staff reviewed their work.

In a letter to the secretary on Monday, departing board chairman Tony Knowles wrote that he and eight other members “have stood by waiting for the chance to meet and continue the partnership . . . as prescribed by law.

“We understand the complexity of transition but our requests to engage have been ignored and the matters on which we wanted to brief the new Department team are clearly not part of its agenda,” he wrote.

All of the signatories had terms set to expire in May. On Wednesday, Carolyn “Carrie” Hessler Radelet submitted a separate resignation letter. Radelet’s term was not set to expire until 2021.

rate, the reforms offer a onetime break on cash being held overseas.

Apple plans to take advantage of that provision to bring back about $252 billion in offshore cash, generating a tax bill of roughly $38 billion. It’s something that Apple CEO Tim Cook promised the company would do if it could avoid being taxed at the 35 percent rate that had been in effect under the previous tax law.

About $75 billion of the $350 billion in U.S. investments will be paid from money that had been overseas, Apple estimated.

Companies that bring back money stashed overseas this year will be taxed at a 15.5 percent rate, below the new 21 percent rate for U.S. corporate profits

under the new law. As a whole, corporate America has an estimated $2.6 trillion in overseas cash. Most of that is concentrated

in the technology industry, with Apple sitting at the top of the heap.

Analysts have been predicting that most of the overseas profits coming back to the U.S. would be plowed into paying shareholder dividends and buying back stock, something that happened the last time a one-time break on offshore profits was offered more than a decade ago.

While Apple is likely to return some of its overseas money to its shareholders, Wednesday’s announcement is designed to be a show of faith in the U.S. — the company’s largest market.

Dow Jones industrial average closes over 26,000 points for first time

OYMYAKON, SIBERIA In this remote outpost in Siberia, the cold is no small affair.

Eyelashes freeze, frostbite is a constant danger and cars are usually kept running even when not being used, lest their batteries die in temperatures that average minus 58 degrees Fahrenheit in the winter.

This is Oymyakon, a settlement of some 500 people in Russia’s Yakutia region, which has earned the reputation as the coldest permanently occupied human settlement in the world.

Last weekend, according to the Siberian Times, two men died after their car stalled and they set out on foot.

Though schools in the area remain open as temperatures dip into the minus 40s, they were closed Tuesday, The Associated Press reported.

The harsh cold permeates nearly every aspect of existence in the town, which is dark 21 hours a day in the winter.

The winter diet is mostly meat-based, sometimes eaten raw or frozen, due to the inability to grow crops in the frigid temperatures. Some regional specialties include stroganina, which is raw, long-sliced frozen fish; raw, frozen horse liver; and ice cubes of horse blood with macaroni.

Bathrooms are mostly outhouses; the ground is too frozen for pipes. The town wears its reputation on its sleeve: “The pole of the cold,” one sign says. ELI ROSENBERG (THE WASHINGTON POST)

White House told Bannon: Don’t talk Questions from hearing of ex-Trump aide were relayed over the phone POLITICS Stephen Bannon’s attorney relayed questions, in real time, to the White House during a House Intelligence Committee interview of the former Trump chief strategist, people familiar with the closed-door session told The Associated Press.

As lawmakers probed Bannon’s time working for President Trump, Bannon’s attorney Bill Burck was asking the White House counsel’s office by phone during the Tuesday session whether his client could answer the questions.

Bannon was told not to discuss his work on the transition or in the White House.

It’s unclear who Burck was communicating with in the White House. He is also representing top White House lawyer Don McGahn in special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into contacts between the Trump campaign and Russia.

At the White House, press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders confirmed that the questions were relayed over the phone and said it was a typical process.

Bannon refused to answer a broad array of queries from the House Intelligence Committee about his time working for Trump, leading the Republican committee chairman to authorize a subpoena.

AUSSIE OPEN

15-year-old advances to third round

S. Korean players bristle over combined roster in women’s ice hockey WINTER OLYMPICS Many South Koreans are up in arms over a plan to field a single Korean women’s hockey team at next month’s Winter Olympics, viewing it as a step too far in the government’s attempt to thaw relations between the two Koreas.

Under the plan, agreed to Wednesday in the latest talks over North Korea’s participation in the games in South Korea, the two sides said they had reached an agreement to combine their women’s hockey teams at the PyeongChang Games.

At the same time, they struck a deal for both Korean teams to march together in the opening ceremonies under a blue-andwhite flag showing a unified peninsula — as they have done at previous Olympics.

Marching together and forming a unified hockey team would

bring the estranged countries closer together than simply having North Korea participate in the games, South Korea’s president, Moon Jae-in, said Wednesday while visiting athletes at the National Training Center near Seoul.

“I believe our people and people around the world will be moved while watching such a sight,” he said in a visit before the agreement was reached. “It will also mark a good start to improving South-North Korea ties for the future.”

But South Korean hockey players and officials are annoyed that the efforts will probably result in the exclusion of half the South’s hockey players to make way for the athletes from the North at the Olympics, which open Feb. 9.

“I think there is damage to our players,” Sarah Murray, the coach of South Korea women’s hockey team, told reporters.

“It’s hard because the players have earned their spots, and they think they deserve to go to the Olympics. Then you have people

Many South Koreans are angered at the idea that their players stand to lose to accommodate North Korea. Online petitions calling on the presidential Blue

House to withdraw the plan have collected thousands of signatures.

A senior official with the Korea Ice Hockey Association said the plan for the joint hockey team came as a “shock” to the players.

“They were just furious and found the idea absurd,” the unnamed official told Reuters. “We are utterly speechless that the government just picked us out of blue and asked us to play with total strangers at the Olympics.”

The two Koreas have never fielded a joint team at the Olympics, although they did combine teams at table tennis and soccer championships in 1991. ANNA FIFIELD

Marta Kostyuk was such a perfectionist when she started playing tennis, she’d blow up in anger if she missed a single ball. After beating Olivia Rogowska 6-3, 7-5 on Wednesday in Melbourne, Kostyuk is finding peace with the sport at the wise old age of 15. “Now, I start to enjoy it,” she said.

The Australian Open is not only Kostyuk’s first Grand Slam, but her first main draw at any WTAlevel event. Ranked No. 521 in the world, she is the youngest player to reach the third round since Martina Hingis (15) in 1996.

Kostyuk next faces No. 4 seed Elina Svitolina.

“She has nothing to lose ... she goes just for everything,” Svitolina, 23, said of Kostyuk, her fellow Ukrainian.

MARYLAND VS. MINNESOTA | 8:30 TONIGHT, FS1

Both teams have taken roster hits while facing a weak field in Big Ten

MEN’S BASKETBALL The national profile of the Big Ten has taken a big hit since its coaches met in New York in October for the conference’s annual media day.

As of Wednesday, the Big Ten ranked sixth in conference RPI,

according to realtimerpi.com.

Jerry Palm of CBS Sports projected this week that only four Big Ten teams would make the NCAA Tournament: Purdue, Michigan, Michigan State and Ohio State.

Last season the conference sent seven schools.

So when Maryland hosts Minnesota tonight, each team will be fighting to stay relevant. Both teams are 14-6, 3-4 in the league.

Junior forward Jordan Murphy is the only Minnesota player to start all 20 games, and leads the team in scoring (18.1 ppg)

and rebounding (12.1). Guard Dupree McBrayer pitched in a career-high 24 points as the Gophers snapped a three-game skid Monday at Penn State.

Maryland, which has dealt with its own injury problems after losing forwards Justin Jackson (shoulder) and Ivan Bender (knee), is coming off a 68-67 loss Monday at Michigan. Sophomore guard Kevin Huerter put the Terps ahead with a 3-pointer with 3.2 seconds left, but Michigan hit two free throws to win.

Coach Mark Turgeon hopes for a better result at Xfinity Center.

“I would like to think we are going to have great energy,” he said. “We expect to play well at home.” DAVID DRIVER (FOR EXPRESS)

Brothers and Sisters rises above the hotel restaurant model

NEW IN TOWN The Line hotel took forever to open, but the moment it did, last month in Adams Morgan, the brand raised the stakes for lodging in the nation’s capital.

Carved from a century-old church, the venue brings together eating opportunities from some of the Mid-Atlantic’s bestknown chefs: Spike Gjerde, the

James Beard award winner from Woodberry Kitchen in Baltimore, and Erik Bruner-Yang, whose popular Maketto on H Street NE combines the flavors of Cambodia and Taiwan.

Among the first of six drinking and dining options to open at The Line (1770 Euclid St. NW) is Brothers and Sisters. Developed

by Bruner-Yang, the restaurant occupies the spacious lobby and its east and west flanks, each with a bar of its own.

Instead of cooking the Asian food for which he is known,

DEB LINDSEY (FOR THE WASHINGTON POST)

Check in, then eat up at The Line No one would stop you from calling the yogurt-and-pesto-topped octopus hot dog, on the menu at Brothers and Sisters, a “hoctodog.”

Bruner-Yang went out on a limb with the idea of “an American restaurant in a foreign country,” in this case either Japan or Taiwan, and catering to the natives.

The usual hotel restaurant suspects (Caesar salad, hamburger) are outnumbered by dishes with international roots and several serious splurges, as in caviar tray

service for up to $160.

For the pasta fan, there are noodles with pork-fennel sausage and broccoli rabe; vegetarians have avocado with five-grain pilaf. Distancing himself from the noodle soups he was known for at Toki Underground, Bruner-Yang offers a creamy chicken chowder served in a “bowl” of hollowedout milk bread. Another talker is the snappy octopus hot dog: 5 inches or so of seared cephalopod slipped into a toasted potato roll and dotted with pesto and yogurt.

Bruner-Yang has another restaurant up his sleeve here: Spoken English, which he has described as a standing-roomonly “restaurant speakeasy.” And A Rake’s Progress, from Gjerde, is expected to roll out in February.

Kara Lawson’s working life is consumed by basketball. She breaks down Washington Wizards games as the primary TV analyst for NBC Sports Washington and contributes to ESPN too. In her baskeball-free time, the former Mystics player supports D.C.’s other teams. “I’m just a sports fan,” says Lawson, 36. “If I’m in town and there’s something cool going on sportswise, I’m going to check it out.” Lawson’s broadcasting career has brought her full circle: Taking the Wizards job last year gave her a chance to move back to Alexandria, where she grew up. Because half of her work life is spent on the road, laundry and dry cleaning take priority on her days off. But on her D.C. dream day, the former AllAmerican guard at Tennessee and Olympic gold medalist would shoot for something a little more fun.

Manipulation is the name of the game in this monumental rock opera—whisking players and politicians, lovers and spies from Budapest to Bangkok. With a full cast and onstage orchestra, this semi-staged concert features the brightest stars direct from Broadway.

So much has changed since I was a kid, so that’s really cool now that I find myself being back and exploring different parts of the neighborhood and the area. One of the things that I really enjoy is the George Washington Memorial Parkway.

I’m not a big runner but I will run sometimes, especially on the weekend. My sister is a runner, so sometimes we’ll run together. It’s great out there in the early mornings, especially in the summer. It’s good to see everybody — bikes, runners,

The area I’m most comfortable is the area around Capital One Arena. There’s a lot of great spots. I’m vegan, and what’s nice about D.C. is there’s a lot of fast-casual places that have vegan options: Chipotle, Cava, &pizza. HipCityVeg, that’s like right across the street, and you can get in and get out. I love food trucks as well. NuVegan Cafe — they have a food truck that’s awesome.

I’d hop on the Metro if I wanted to go to the mall at Pentagon City. I can always do that because that’s on the Yellow Line. If I need something, I don’t have to go all the way out to Tysons Corner.

I’d end my day in Old Town because that’s close to home, that’s where I’m from, and there’s a lot of places to shop, a lot of good restaurants. A lot of my friends live near there, so I’d meet up with people there.

I have some good friends that like to go to Theismann’s Restaurant and Bar. I like to pregame in Old Town, and go to a couple bars with friends.

weekendpass Q+A | ADRIENNE GAITHER

This is what healing looks like You might not think of bright colors and geometric shapes as

colors that reflected how I felt in those moments. Nothing was easy about them, because I had to revisit things.

Nothing “looks traumatic.”

That’s the thing — people conceal things all the time. This show is also about those adjustments and the adaptation that has to occur.

The images are just a metaphor, anyway.

The 30-year-old D.C. artist based the abstract paintings in “How I Got Over,” a new exhibit at Transformer, on her recovery from trauma. By experimenting with global inspirations, including West African craft traditions, and shapes that are new to her work, Gaither, 30, explores themes of rebuilding trust in your body and finding people who love and support you. The Howard University graduate (who will give an artist talk at the gallery on Feb. 3 at 2 p.m.) has exhibited widely, including at the Museum of Contemporary African Diasporan Arts in Brooklyn, but “How I Got Over” marks her first solo show. ABIGAIL B. COLODNER (FOR EXPRESS)

We tend to talk about trauma as coming from severe violence.

How well does that reflect people’s experiences?

Trauma is not always physical. It can be psychological — it comes in so many different forms. But the feelings of guilt or isolation are something people have to deal with. Then there’s a moment of reconciliation where you do find yourself able to move on.

In this show, you deliberately worked with shapes that were less typical for you. How did that relate to grappling with painful experiences?

My work is usually very square — rectangular, grids. I challenged myself to introduce more triangular shapes, more jagged edges. I picked shapes and

ADRIENNE GAITHER

There’s stigma around the topic of trauma. What do you want your works to open people up to?

I want to talk about a process of healing within the trauma. I want to normalize the conversation.

We [all] have relationships with folks who have experienced traumas that we don’t know about, because there never seems to be an appropriate time to bring it up.

I think traumas can be a catalyst to a new beginning — one of the biggest traumas in my life was the catalyst to me pursuing art as my career. Trauma is a part of our human experience, so there’s resilience that all of us have.

Transformer, 1404 P St. NW; through Feb. 24, free.

“White men aren’t the only guys who are good at painting some squares.”

ADRIENNE GAITHER

You’ve talked about how you push back against the popularity of images of “socialized black trauma as art.” Why is making abstract work important to you?

There are so many really dope black abstract painters that exist, and they’ve been carved out of history because it’s not what the majority wants to see. I don’t think that’s fair. It perpetuates a single story; it pigeonholes black artists. White men aren’t the only guys who are good at painting some squares. So let us shine. I want to challenge that ideology about what black art is and who gets to say what it is.

I don’t know who’s behind me, but I want to open the door to them and say, “You can do this.” Abstract art can be very conceptual and heady, and if I have the intellect, why can’t I show that?

How did this come about?

It [collaborating with an orchestra in this way] was something I’ve been called on to do for a number of years, but I just hadn’t done it. It’s something I’ve always loved; I just never thought so much of doing it to my music.

When this came up again and there was the question of doing it at the Kennedy Center, then there’s this prestige in just being at the Kennedy Center, period.

This was the time it made sense.

Why is the National Symphony Orchestra a good partner for your first-ever collaboration with a full orchestra?

I had seen a couple of things on

video of other artists who had done it. There’s a great reputation that comes with certain homes, with certain houses. There’s a reputation that comes with the orchestra there in D.C., so I thought if I’m going to do it, I want to do it right the first time out.

What has the process been like of creating symphonic arrangements of some your biggest hits?

You have to go into it with an open mind of not thinking it has to be a particular kind of way.

I have band members who will be there as well, so we have to work with them as much as the orchestra has to work with us

DEF JAM

SUN, JAN 21

so it all blends in together and makes sense. There’s a fine line many times for an audience that comes to see a show like this. You have those that come to see an orchestra play, and that’s exactly what they’re expecting. And you have those coming to see the artist. You do have to walk the line and try to give everyone what they want at the same time.

But you can do all the prearranging you want, but it doesn’t really come together until you get on that stage and you kind of go for it. There may be last-minute changes; that’s what rehearsals are for. You’re thinking fast on your feet for the benefit of everyone so that it feels good.

“My approach is to make [the music] even more emotional. Because that’s what you want from an orchestra — you want emotion.”

What do you think will be some of the most interesting differences between how your songs sound when played by a symphony orchestra versus when they’re played on the radio?

It’s not so much a question of making it feel different. My approach is to make it feel even better and to be even more emotional. Because that’s what you want from an orchestra — you want emotion. So we’re going to use the orchestra to kind of milk those emotional chords and try to get there.

Do you think this will impact in any way your songwriting, producing or performing in the future?

It’s hard to say. Every experience that I’ve gone through in my life, it always affects me in some way and stays in your DNA no matter what. Whether you think you’re using it or not, you usually are and it reappears at some point in your life. This is a brand-new experience for me with my music. I have to just kind of make sure I stay focused and don’t just listen to the orchestra myself and forget that I’ve got to perform too.

Is this the future of opera?

Composer Missy Mazzoli, left, and librettist Royce Vavrek stage the premiere of “Proving Up” in D.C.

SCOTT SUCHMAN (WASHINGTON NATIONAL OPERA)

The Kennedy Center makes a case for the art form’s modern-day relevance

STAGE Think opera has no place in today’s world? Think again.

“We’re living in a new golden age, especially of American opera,” says Brooklyn-based librettist Royce Vavrek. “It seems like there’s a hunger for new work, and companies are really understanding how much potential in new work there is.”

The Washington National Opera will shine a spotlight on contemporary opera this weekend as four new works — including “Proving Up,” an hour-long piece

that combines Vavrek’s words with composer Missy Mazzoli’s music — get their world premieres during the 2018 American Opera Initiative Festival at the Kennedy Center.

The American Opera Initiative was founded in 2012 to develop emerging talent and bolster the future of American opera. “We all love the masterpieces of Mozart and Verdi, but we want to tell modern, relevant stories that relate to the American experience,” says Robert Ainsley, director of the Washington National Opera’s

“There are a whole range of very thorny political issues [to be explored through opera], and if we’re going to tackle them, we might as well do it in D.C.”

Domingo-Cafritz Young Artist Program and American Opera Initiative. “Contemporary opera lets us tell the story of our time.

It preserves the culture of a period, which you can only do by creating art during that period.”

Topics being tackled in new operatic works include gender equality and diversity. “There are a whole range of very thorny political issues [to be explored through opera], and if we’re going to tackle them, we might as well do it in D.C.,” he says. “We do like, without courting controversy, to talk about the issues of today.”

“Proving Up,” which will be staged Friday at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday at 2 p.m., examines the concept of the American dream through the eyes of 19th-century Nebraska homesteaders. Based on a short story by Karen Russell, the opera follows the settlers as they struggle to “prove up” to meet the requirements for claiming their land under the Homestead Act. It’s set in the past, but there are plenty of purposeful parallels to the world today.

“It’s beautifully intense how almost Sisyphean it is in the way these people are doing everything they possibly can, yet the American dream is never fully realized in their lives,” Vavrek says. “I hope that people reflect that some people’s American dream is more easily attained than others.”

On Saturday at 7 and 9 p.m., three new 20-minute operas — dealing with issues including classism, suicide and loss — will be performed in a concert staging. Vavrek encourages people to give these kinds of contemporary works a try, especially younger audiences who many not know an aria from a falsetto.

“You don’t really need to understand the mechanics of it; you can get swept away in the storytelling and exciting music,” Vavrek says. “I hope that people will come give opera a chance, because it’s moving in a direction that’s really colorful.”

“It just talks about [how] life is kind of like a dream and you gotta just live it,” Sartorius says of the 2017 rap song. “Too often I get caught in my own headspace and [get] panicked. … Once I let go of my worries and live in the moment, it’s such a good feeling.”

‘Waving Through a Window’

Ben Platt

This showstopper from “Dear Evan Hansen” — “my favorite musical of all time” — speaks to Sartorius, who’s seen the Tonywinning show twice on Broadway.

“You feel like you’re an outsider and you don’t belong. … I was so inspired once I saw that show.”

Can D.C. theater reach gender parity?

The industry’s women are working on it.

The numbers sound disheartening, but women in the community have found reason to hope that D.C. can lead a national effort toward gender parity in theater.

“I feel like D.C. is on the forefront of that conversation because it doesn’t have that commercial market to compete [in] like New York does,” says Nataki Garrett, who directed Woolly Mammoth’s 2016 hit “An Octoroon” and is directing Ford’s Theatre’s festival contribution “Jefferson’s Garden,” a Revolutionary War-set drama that explores what freedom meant for people other than the Founding Fathers. “Part of the reason why I feel like New York tends to cultivate fewer women or minorities is because [those theaters are] always answering to the

“Women writers by nature are going to attract women directors, and are going to tell stories about women.”

HOPE VILLANUEVA, explaining how a festival focused on female playwrights boosts inclusivity in all aspects of the production process

A young woman moves back in with her fractured family in Convergence Theatre’s “This Is All Just Temporary.”

TEDDY WOLF

Girl in Africa.” “I think women writers by nature are going to attract women directors, and are going to tell stories about women. You’re also going to attract female producers because they want to see those stories told. And in a positive version of the trickle-down effect, those female directors and producers are going to create their teams likewise.”

If that’s the case, the perpetual dearth of roles for women onstage and off might have something to do with the glaring gender inequality among produced playwrights in the U.S. According to a study from the Lilly Awards published in 2015, only 20 percent of the works produced in the country between 2011 and 2014 were written by women.

In the D.C. area, the numbers aren’t much more promising. According to a study from Gwydion Suilebhan and Olivia Haller, D.C.-based playwrights and staffers at Woolly Mammoth Theatre Company, a third of shows being produced during the 2017-18 season were written by women.

“This is not a new problem,” says Amy Austin, president and CEO of theatreWashington, which is co-producing the Women’s Voices Theater Festival. “It is unique that [the D.C.] community is conscious of its role and its place to try and make this world a better place.”

LAURA SCHLACTMEYER

STAGE Back in 2009, when D.C. actress Aubri O’Connor co-founded her theater company Nu Sass Productions, she had a prepared response when people would ask her why she focuses on giving women opportunities. “My talking point was ‘75 percent of all characters are male, and 75 percent of all actors are female,’ ” she recalls. “It’s eight women fighting for one role and two men fighting for three roles.” Nine years later, “The needle hasn’t really moved that much.”

Spotlighting female actors isn’t an explicit goal of D.C.’s second Women’s Voices Theater Festival, which kicked off this month, but it is a side effect. As it did for its inaugural edition in 2015, the festival collects shows written by women — 24 plays from 24 theaters this time around (with some running through mid-March). So the emphasis is on female writers, not actors or directors or stage managers or designers or any other roles in the village it takes to raise a production.

“I think couching the festival under the umbrella of playwrights is actually a really smooth trick,” says Hope Villanueva, who is participating in this year’s festival as the writer of Nu Sass’ play “The Veils,” about a veteran who returns home to plan her wedding, and as stage manager of “Queens

god of commercial reality.” It’s not that D.C. theaters don’t have their own budgets to balance — it’s that those producers trust that audiences here will pay to see diverse, socially conscious stories onstage.

“There’s an appreciation for the history and the process that

makes the D.C. audiences so fascinating,” says Caleen Sinnette Jennings, a 30-year veteran of the D.C. theater community who wrote Mosaic’s “Queens Girl in Africa,” a follow-up to her 2015 play “Queens Girl in the World.”

Both are one-woman, coming-ofage stories that are loosely based on Jennings’ childhood, first in New York, then in Nigeria, where her family moved when she was a teenager. “It’s no accident that this kind of theater is happening here because the audiences seem to support it. … I couldn’t see [‘Queens Girl in the World’] being produced in New York — I don’t think anybody would have taken a chance.”

Part of D.C.’s willingness to take risks on female playwrights and stories is its long history of theater companies run by women: Karen Evans has been president of the Black Women Playwrights’ Group since she founded it in 1989; Karen Zacarias founded the Young Playwrights’ Theater in 1995; Molly Smith has led Arena Stage as artistic director since 1998.

“The idea of a woman running a theater is not something that is new to me,” Jennings says. In D.C., “women have always had a voice, and a well-respected voice, I think.”

In addition to having a rich history of women at the top of theater, D.C. is a fertile playground for young women in the community. Jennings, a professor in American University’s theater department, credits the handful of robust theater education programs across the city for giving women a rare advantage in the theater world.

“In universities, young women have more of an opportunity to be exposed to female mentors than in the professional world,” she says. “Many [graduates] will take a year or two, sometimes longer, to deepen their roots in the theater community, to learn a little bit more about what they personally want to do, to build their résumé.”

O’C on nor, for ex a mple, founded Nu Sass when she was 26 (along with Emily Todd, now a producer emeritus at the

company), after being frustrated by the relatively few opportunities for her as an actress in D.C. From back of house to front, she’s formed Nu Sass into the company she would have wanted to join: It reimagines shows to include more female roles, its production staff goes to great lengths to apprentice young women, and each show’s team must have a majority of female or transgender members. Nu Sass is one of several D.C. companies — along with Pinky Swear Productions, Brave Spirits Theatre and LiveArtDC — that put an emphasis on opportunities for women.

“If nothing else, I like being in a room with other women, because that’s the whole point of this for me,” O’Connor says. “Giving other women a space to be.”

Though perhaps working with other women doesn’t make a tangible difference in the product, it certainly makes productions feel different. “When I have worked on teams that are primarily male, the first thing that has to be settled is the power dynamic,” Garrett says. “When you’re working with women, you just start working. It feels a little bit like after Thanksgiving, when me and my girl cousins would head into the kitchen and do dishes, and we’d never talk about it because it just had to get done.”

O’Connor sees her efforts, and those of the Women’s Voices festival, as raising the profile of female writers, directors, actors, designers and production members in the city.

“Even if we don’t see the needle shifting very quickly, I think [the festival] is making changes,” she says. “It’s getting people to think, ‘Maybe I’ll look at this playwright; that was an interesting concept so when I commission something in two years, I’ll bring them in.’ Or, ‘Maybe this all-female cast isn’t such a bad idea.’ Or, ‘Maybe I’ll work with this designer in the future.’ It’s about really trying to change the way people are approaching art and the way the audiences are approaching the theater — incrementally.”

Katelyn Manfre stars as the titular “Imogen” in Charlie Marie McGrath’s take on Shakespeare’s “Cymbeline.”

Where to hear D.C.’s voices

The Women’s Voices Theater Festival may have a global scope, but area playwrights are getting their due. There’s an ultra-feminist extravaganza that at one point uses Broadway show tunes to explore the male gaze; there’s a look at two real-life Victorian-era Baltimore women who were

ahead of their time; and there’s a twist on Shakespeare that involves puppets. Here are five works that found their beginnings right here. KRISTEN PAGE-KIRBY (EXPRESS)

‘Peepshow’ Woolly Mammoth Theatre Company Rehearsal Hall, 641 D St. NW; Feb. 7-25, various times, $20-$40.

The ensemble of dog & pony dc collaborated to produce “Peepshow,” a series of five “spectacles” that engage with women’s issues. The audience for each show is limited to 30 people, so everyone should have a good seat for each part, including the wrestling match that reviews the four waves of feminism.

‘Imogen’ Dance Loft on 14, 4618 14th St. NW; Thu. through Feb. 11, various times, $30.

William Shakespeare isn’t local, but Charlie Marie McGrath is. Her play, based on the Bard’s “Cymbeline,” is about a princess who finds that marrying your true love and being married to your true love can be two totally different things. Pointless Theatre’s signature style of

puppetry, music and dance creates the kind of show Shakespeare probably never imagined.

‘This Is All Just Temporary’ Anacostia Arts Center, 1231 Good Hope Road SE; Fri. through Feb. 10, various times, $18.

Olivia Haller, a member of Convergence Theatre’s company, wrote this story of a recent college graduate named Lauren who moves back home with her parents. Lauren’s brother Noah, who has autism, is becoming more aggressive, and the family finds itself at a breaking point. Noah’s sensibilities and experiences (the character never appears onstage) are communicated with lights, sounds and shadows.

‘The Trojan Women Project’ The Lab at Convergence, 1819 N. Quaker Lane, Alexandria; Jan. 31-Feb. 25, various times, $20.

The entire cast of this Brave Spirits Theatre production, guided by

“devisor-playwright” Rachel Hynes, worked on this look at what it means to be a woman in America, framed by Euripides’ “The Trojan Women.” That 2,400-year-old Greek tragedy is mainly about the subjugation of women and children and doesn’t end particularly well, which pretty accurately sums up what it can be like to be a woman today.

‘All She Must Possess’ Rep Stage, 10901 Little Patuxent Parkway, Columbia, Md.; Feb. 8-25, various times, $10-$40.

Susan McCully’s work is based on real-life sisters Claribel and Etta Cone in Baltimore, the daughters of German Jewish immigrants. The sisters could have settled down and had nice, fancy, 19th-century lives; instead, they hung out with (and, in Etta’s case, became romantically involved with) Gertrude Stein and wound up two of the country’s earliest and more important collectors of modern art.

Oh, and they’re on their way to see a dead body. Come for the heartfelt story of friendship and grief; stay for the story about a barf-o-rama.

Considering the … interesting state of politics now, some may wish to take a look back. One way to do so is by checking out “The Final Year,” a documentary about President Obama’s last year in office. Melding interviews and fly-on-the-wall footage, the film takes a deep look at what it takes to be a leader on the world stage. Events covered include the Paris climate accord talks, the Boko Haram kidnappings and the Syrian conflict.

But there’s more to it than politics. A major theme is the work of the president’s foreign policy team, particularly Secretary of State John Kerry, U.N. Ambassador Samantha Power and deputy national security adviser Ben Rhodes. Catch it on a slow news day, since there are so many of them now.

ESTHER SAFRAN FOER

STAGE In the theater business, you can’t just put on a show. There are rights to deal with, permissions to get, and it can all be a big mess sometimes. When it came to mounting “Everything Is Illuminated,” a play based on the 2002 novel by Jonathan Safran Foer, Theater J was having trouble tracking down the people it needed to talk to in order to get the show on the stage.

“I didn’t even know the show existed until I heard Theater J wanted to do it, and they contacted me and said, ‘We want to do this show, but we don’t know who to get in touch with,’ ” says D.C. resident Esther Safran Foer. “I said, ‘Let me see what I can do.’ ” Esther has some pull, being the mother of the novelist (and his brothers Franklin and Joshua Foer, writers themselves). In fact, the book is a loosely fictionalized retelling of the family’s story. In it, the narrator (also named Jonathan Safran Foer) goes to Ukraine to find the woman who saved his grandfather’s life during the Nazi occupation of Poland; he is accompanied by his translator, his grandfather and his grandfather’s seeing-eye dog, named Sammy Davis Junior, Junior.

Esther was the executive director of the Sixth and I synagogue from 2006 to 2016, and her family has a long, active relationship with the Edlavitch Jewish Community Center that houses Theater J (Esther’s mother still attends the center’s programming for seniors). Esther attended a recent rehearsal of “Everything Is Illuminated” and got her first glimpse of the play, an adaptation by British writer Simon Block.

“What was really interesting to me was seeing the layers of the

story — the fiction, the reality,” she says. And “trying to figure out how they were all meshing for me.”

One thing she wasn’t thinking of was how the play matches up with the novel — and she says that’s something Jonathan doesn’t worry about, either.

“As the mother of three writers, I have seen their work in lots

of different formats,” she says. “‘Everything Is Illuminated’ was also a [2005] movie, and they are each different, they are unique works of art. Jonathan feels the same way. Once he’s written something, he lets go of it.”

The significance of “Everything Is Illuminated” goes far beyond her family, Esther says.

“Jews are a people of memory; they aren’t really a people of history,” she says. “History tells the story of 6 million Jews who were murdered. This story says, ‘Remember this, see it through the eyes of an individual situation, rather than grand numbers that are hard to relate to.’ That’s what Jews do — they remember. This work of art is a way of remembering.”

Thu. EXHIBITS

An Indian Chief motorcycle, a Tomahawk flight-test missile and hundreds of other objects emblazoned with the names and images of American Indians are on display in the National Museum of the American Indian’s new longterm exhibition. “Americans” dives into the many ways American Indians have shaped the nation’s history, identity and pop culture.

The exhibit also challenges visitors to re-examine the stories they thought they knew about the Trail of Tears, the Battle of the Little Bighorn and the life of Pocahontas. National Museum of the American Indian, Fourth Street and Independence Avenue SW; Thu. through 2022, free.

Fri. MUSIC

Xosar Instead of relying on a laptop, this California-born, Berlin-based producer-DJ can transform the entire atmosphere of a room with drum machines, samplers and synths. Her techno sound is best characterized as disquietingly experimental — filled with deep bass tones and industrial sounds that reflect her interest in the paranormal and occult. It’s creepy at times, but also enchanting.

Winter Restaurant Week Select restaurants in the D.C. area; Mon. through Jan. 28, go to ramw.org/restaurantweek for details.

The seasonal Metropolitan Washington Restaurant Weeks can be overwhelming: Last summer’s featured deals from 250 restaurants. They can also be underwhelming, with complaints about eateries that skimp on portion sizes or modify menus to use cheaper ingredients. But with a little research, you can come out ahead: Who’d turn down a $22 lunch at Rasika or Fiola Mare, or a $35 dinner from Kyirisan? Book in advance, because the best time slots disappear quickly.

‘Unnecessary Farce’ A sting goes horribly, hilariously wrong in Paul Slade Smith’s play “Unnecessary Farce,” about two cops who head to a cheap motel to bust the embezzling mayor in the next room over. But when a hit man and an accountant get involved, there’s some confusion over who’s who. The comedy has played in more than 240 productions worldwide, and now

Sat. FESTIVALS

Ice Yards Ice Yards, a wintry festival for adults in Yards Park, features appropriately frozen games like shuffleboard and Plinko played on sheets of ice, ax throwing, ice

carvers, a mass shot-ski shot, bars serving local beers and wintry cocktails, and music provided by DJs and cover band Down Wilson.

Yards Park, 355 Water St. SE; Sat., 1-5 p.m., $10 (includes a drink).

Sun. TALKS

‘Meet the Real Indiana Jones’ American University professor Justin Jacobs teaches a course

called “Indiana Jones in History” and wrote a book on the subject, and he’s condensing all his knowledge for a chat at Bier Baron Tavern in Dupont Circle. It’s part of a “Profs and Pints” series that brings scholars to local bars for a bit of erudition at happy hour.

Jacobs will compare the Harrison Ford films to the works of history’s real-life explorers, archaeologists and adventurers — and reveal what Hollywood gets wrong about archaeology. Bier Baron Tavern, 1523 22nd St. NW; Sun., 6 p.m., $10.

Helado Negro U Street Music Hall, 1115 U St. NW; Tue., 7 p.m., $20.

Listening to Helado Negro is to embrace multiculturalism at its best: He’s not necessarily loud, but he’s always proud and, often, euphoric.

The Ecuadorean producer and singer switches between English and Spanish lyrics while injecting his music with everything from futuristic electro pop built around ethereal synths to soothing guitar folk. For his show in D.C. next week, Negro co-headlines with Chicano singer Cuco.

MUSIC

Majid Jordan Canadian duo Majid Jordan’s latest album, “The Space Between,” takes the idea of transition, literal or metaphorical, and creates a soundtrack that transcends era and genre. It’s a charming departure from Majid Al Maskati

and Jordan Ullman’s 2014 debut “A Place Like This,” an EP that painted in R&B’s darker shades, but versatility is their strongest suit.

Their songs can fill a dance floor just as well as they can provide a backdrop for a night of passion (or, you know, wallowing alone).

Circles Around the Sun: If Grateful Dead cover bands are a dime a dozen these days, Circles Around the Sun is the exception. The band, led by guitarist Neal Casal, formed in 2015 to record new, improvised music to play between set breaks at the Dead’s stadium shows that year. It was a hit with fans, and the band made its live debut in 2016. This month, the quartet entered the studio to record more music, instrumental tracks that recall (but don’t copy) the Dead’s songs. A rare tour brings Circles to 9:30 Club Thursday.

Take a page from the ‘resistance’ BOOKS At The Booksmith in San Francisco, they’re trying to keep up with the anti-Trump releases and other works of the “resistance.”

“It’s staggering, the number of books,” says store manager Camden Avery. “Politics has a much more prominent place in our store and for our customers than we’ve had for a long time.”

The rise of Donald Trump has been mirrored by an expanding literary genre that will intensify in 2018, with dozens of new works expected, on top of the dozens from last year. Books of “resistance” will include guides to activism, reflections on democracy, investigations of Russian interference in the 2016 election and legal analysis, along with poetry and fiction.

This weekend marks not just the first anniversary of Trump’s presidency, but also of the massive women’s marches staged the day after his inauguration.

“Together We Rise: Behind the Scenes at the Protest Heard Around the World” includes

essays by Roxane Gay, Ashley Judd and America Ferrera.

Several new works will address challenges to our system of government. “How Democracies Die,” by Harvard professors Steven Levitsky and Daniel Ziblatt, traces the demise of political rights in countries around the world. David Frum’s “Trumpocracy” warns against the “complacent optimism” that American politics are immune from fatal damage. Timothy Snyder is following his best-selling “On Tyranny,” a brief handbook about signs of authoritarianism, with “The Road to Unfreedom: Russia, Europe, America,” which looks at threats to democracy in the U.S. and overseas.

Labeling a “resistance” book can be as challenging as defining the resistance movement.

Disdain for the president is the unifier for authors who might otherwise have little to say to each other: Black Lives Matter co-founder Patrisse KhanCullors, whose memoir “When They Call You a Terrorist” is due this month; Frum, a former George W. Bush speechwriter; and author-journalist Sarah Kendzior, a prominent commentator on authoritarianism whose 2015

Anti-Trump books are flooding the market — and uniting authors

The CW’s ‘Black Lightning’ plays to its strengths

“Resistance”-associated books on topics like the Women’s March, Black Lives Matter and threats to democracy are now a hallmark of the Trump era.

e-book “The View from Flyover Country” is being reissued this spring in paperback.

“I think a diverse resistance is a positive force,” Kendzior says.

“This doesn’t mean we have to agree about everything — I’m sure we don’t — but we can agree we do not want an American autocracy.”

Trump opponents have been enjoying “Fire and Fury,” Michael Wolff’s explosive tell-all about the

administration. But booksellers hesitate to put it in the “resistance” category. At Unabridged Books in Chicago, owner Ed Devereux says that the book has been placed in a more traditional setting: new nonfiction.

“I don’t think you’re going to read that book to learn how to resist, or think of ways to deal with the political system,” he says. “It’s just a best-seller.”

“I would be surprised if many women did not understand that there was a climate of verbal harassment that existed.”

ANN CURRY, discussing her time as co-host of NBC’s “Today” show with “CBS This Morning” on Wednesday during her

first TV interview since Matt Lauer was fired from “Today” in November in light of sexual harassment allegations

Former President Jimmy Carter to release new book, “Faith: A Journey for All,” in March

TV REVIEW In 1977, DC Comics unveiled a superhero named Black Lightning, hoping to fill a void with a token character inspired somewhat by the characters in blaxploitation cinema.

Born as a “metahuman” with the ability to manipulate electricity, Jefferson Pierce struggled with how and when to restrict his powers in a way that DC’s white superheroes usually didn’t. But his comic book series was short-lived.

“Black Lightning,” an energetic and wholehearted live-action revival of the character that premiered Tuesday on The CW, is refreshingly and intentionally focused on Jefferson’s attempt to balance the conflict among his truest selves — as a black father in his late 40s, a husband, a revered high school principal and, ultimately, a superhero who comes out of self-imposed exile to fight violence in his community.

The show is a fine example of what TV might look like once we move past the more ceremonial aspects of diversity.

This is a black show on a network filled with white superheroes, and it displays no insecurity or self-consciousness about that. It feels strong and confident.

There’s also a reassuring feeling here that nobody brought Black Lightning back because of a token need or a niche pursuit. He’s back because he’s a fascinating character all on his own. HANK STUEVER (THE WASHINGTON POST)

“I hope they’re serving Tide pods at the Fake News Awards this afternoon.” @ROBYNURBACK, joking about President Trump’s highly anticipated “Fake News Awards.” As of early Wednesday evening, there was no news of the promised awards.

White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders told reporters earlier Wednesday that there would be something later in the day because “I know you’re all waiting to see if you are big winners.”

@THEMICHAELMORAN, reacting to the report from pedestrian.tv that a men’s rights activist re-edited “The Last Jedi” to cut out all the women. “The Last Jedi: De-Feminized Fanedit,” which was posted to thepiratebay.org, is 46 minutes long and leaves out Vice Admiral Holdo, played by Laura Dern.

The (real) film’s director, Rian Johnson, addressed the edit by tweeting out a really long “hahahahaha,” and Mark Hamill, who plays Luke Skywalker, also tweeted a series of laughing emojis. Some doubted if the film was even made by a men’s rights activist or if the edit was just a stunt by a troll.

“If Kim Kardashian doesn’t name her baby Wild West what’s the point?” @DNAJENSOO, taking part in the guessing game many on Twitter have been playing: What will Kim and Kanye name their baby? (Their other children are named North and Saint.) “What if Kim and Kanye name their baby Tuesday Winter West since it’s Tuesday and it’s winter time?” @Darlene26811165 predicted.

“Birther = someone who doesn’t believe Obama’s birth certificate.

Girther = someone who doesn’t believe Trump’s health report.” @MJ_EATON, tweeting the definition

of a birther versus a girther. After President Trump’s physical came back Tuesday saying that he is 6 foot, 3 inches and weighs 239 pounds, many doubted his weight, sparking the “girther” conspiracies.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) It’s time to give someone else’s plan serious consideration, as it’s likely you will recognize something about it that improves on yours.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) More work is in store for you today as you attempt to inch closer to a personal goal. A loved one distracts you.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) You will have to deal with even more rules than usual today, as the powers-that-be begin implementing a new protocol.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Others are expecting more from you today — you may be surprised at the depth of your commitment.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Those feelings of being the “third wheel” are likely to resurface today, for reasons you do not yet understand.

TODAY: With high pressure centered to our south, we’ll pick up a somewhat milder breeze from the west. That, along with mostly sunny skies, helps morning temperatures climb through the 20s and into the 30s, with afternoon highs near 40 to the mid-40s. Skies should continue to be mostly clear.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You are contributing something essential to a certain group dynamic, and you may end up in charge before you know it.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Are you ready to do what you know must be done? Even though it goes against much that you believe in, its rewards will be clear and lasting.

ACHIEVEMENTS

Who needs an Oscar? Michelle has true love.

Drink water and you’ll look like Michael In an interview with the Wall Street Journal, Michael B. Jordan opened up about his diet and exercise regimen for his movies “Creed” and “Black Panther.” “You really have to diet,” the actor said of his efforts to gain muscle.

“It’s hard to be social. You have to drink a gallon and a half of water. When you’re drinking a gallon and a half of water a day, you know how many times you have to use the bathroom? It’s annoying.” (EXPRESS)

Michelle Williams is engaged to Andrew Youmans, a New York-based financial consultant, according to Us Weekly. “She wants a good guy and a stable family life,” a source told the site. Rumors that Youmans had proposed arose when Williams was spotted wearing a diamond ring at the Golden Globes. When asked about it, the actress described the ring simply as “beautiful jewelry,” Us reported. According to People magazine, Williams and Youmans were first seen together in July 2017, though Us notes that they have not made an official appearance as a couple.

Williams has one daughter, 12-year-old Matilda, with the late Heath Ledger. (EXPRESS)

Bras in Amber’s closet fear layoffs after downsizing

Miley can’t keep a secret, therefore is not married

On Instagram this week, Amber Rose detailed the first steps in her breast reduction surgery, which she said would take place on Wednesday. “I’m really scared and really excited at the same time,” Rose wrote alongside photos and videos of her meetings with doctors, adding, “I’m really excited about [wearing] spaghetti straps!” Rose previously shared that she wears a 36H bra size. (EXPRESS)

Despite reports that Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth got married during a recent vacation in Byron Bay, Australia, Us Weekly reported that the rumors are false. “Miley hasn’t told any of her friends that she’s married,” the source said.

“She would have told people after.” Chris Hemsworth, Liam’s brother, also denied the reports in an interview with SiriusXM this week. “They’re not officially married,” he said. (EXPRESS)

She cares about him and thinks he’s fascinating.” The businessman and the actress dated for about a year before their August breakup. (EXPRESS)
