‘Dunno how I got there, but let’s face it, I was surely up to no good’

A Philadelphia real estate investor said a home he was looking at came with a surprise — a stairway booby-trapped with a swinging knife. Ekrem Uysaler said he and his team were looking at the home in January when a co-worker saw a small line on the home’s staircase. Pulling the line with a rod triggered a fast-moving, downward-swinging crutch with a large knife taped to the end. Uysaler said, “It’s like ‘Home Alone’ ... Philly-style.” (AP)

A man’s nap in the back of his car in Newark, Del., became a nightmare last week when the car was stolen and crashed with him in it. Musician Justin Koerner told the News Journal he’d spent a night playing music with friends, went to sleep in his car and dreamed that someone jumped into the front seat. Koerner said he awoke and saw car treads on a lawn and a destroyed bush, then realized that he hadn’t been dreaming. (AP)

Emergency personnel rescued a woman who got stuck trying to enter a vacant Houston home through an air vent. Arthur Reyes was walking by early Friday when he heard the woman crying for help. Reyes told KTRK-TV he was going to a convenience store when he heard the woman and asked her, “What are you doing up there?” Reyes then called 911. The woman told authorities she doesn’t remember how she got in the vent. (AP)

D.C. using new tech to pinpoint 911 calls THE DISTRICT D.C. is using new technology to more precisely pinpoint the location of people who use cellphones to call 911, a shift aimed at getting first responders to emergencies as quickly as possible. City officials joined with a company called RapidSOS that has helped police and fire departments across the country overcome a critical gap in responding to calls: the inability of modern phones to communicate location data to 911 systems built when people talked only over wires. It’s a problem because more than 80 percent of the calls to the nation’s 911 centers are from cellphones. That mirrors the District, which fields up to 3,500 911 calls a day. It might seem strange in this modern era that a person with a cellphone can track the movements of friends or get alerts from retailers as they pass near a

display window, but the technology used to find you if you suffer a heart attack might be accurate to only the range of a half-mile. “If I can push a button and get an Uber, why can’t I push a button and get the police?” said Michael Martin, CEO and founder of RapidSOS, based in New York. His company is working in 2,500 emergency call centers across the country, including

Fairfax County and others in the D.C. area. Martin makes the product free to local governments. “It’s a very big step to solving what has been a bane of an issue,” said Steve McMurrer, the 911 systems administrator in Fairfax County. Added Karima Holmes, director of the D.C. Office of Unified Communications: “It saves precious seconds and allows us to get help to the caller as quickly as possible.” The problem has existed since the time cellphones came out, and carriers and 911 centers — many built with 50-year-old technology — need upgrades. Existing systems use cellphone hits from multiple towers to estimate where a phone is located, but the results are spotty. The Federal Communications Commission estimated in 2013 that precise location data could save up to 10,000 lives a year. RapidSOS works with 911 centers and carriers such as Apple, Google and Android to pump location data from phones directly into the emergency call centers. PETER HERMANN (THE WASHINGTON POST)

MISSING EAGLE

Second egg spotted, but Justice gone A second egg has appeared in one of D.C.’s well-watched eagle nests, just at a time when domestic bliss may be in diminishing supply there. “We have 2 eggs!” said a tweet from the Earth Conservation Corps, the group that monitors the nest in Southwest D.C. However, the tweet said, “Still no Justice.” That referred to the male bald eagle, above, who vanished on Feb. 9, the day of the mating that apparently led to the laying of the first egg. (TWP)

One of the season’s biggest winter storms to date seems likely to paste the region with accumulating snow Wednesday and then tack on a glaze of ice.

About 10 of the signs have been scattered around Washington. Activist Claude Taylor said he planted his first sign in front of the Saudi Embassy, where it lasted 24 hours before being removed. But he’s pleased the sign outside the White House has lasted so long — more than a month — since his protest is against both Khashoggi’s murder and what he

considers Trump’s soft response. The Trump administration is not the only target for these sorts of protests. On Thursday, two female activists disrobed inside the National Gallery of Art to protest what they say is a lack of diversity in the artists being featured. “It’s got to be art, it’s got to be creative. That’s what gets people hooked,” said Adam Eidinger, perhaps Washington’s most highprofile political provocateur. Eidinger is one of D.C.’s public faces for marijuana legalization and is known for disruptive protests. In 2017, his group passed

out 1,000 joints on Capitol Hill. Eidinger lists the advantages to this sort of theatrical approach: It’s more inspiring for the participants and more likely to go viral. It’s also more likely to annoy opponents. “One of the goals is to have a psychological impact, to get into their heads,” he said. He says he’s been arrested 23 times, although he emphasizes that usually isn’t the point. “Just getting arrested is not creative. You should be willing to get arrested doing something else transgressive,” Eidinger said. ASHRAF KHALIL (AP)

Jo-Whitney Outland, 55, of Bristol hid the corpse of Rosemary Outland, her 78-yearold mother, under 54 blankets in their southwest Virginia home, an official said.

THE DISTRICT In the nation’s capital, it can be hard for protesters to stand out. A group of 50 people — or even 500 — holding signs and shouting hardly merits a second glance in this city of protests. That’s why Washington activists have to get creative. There’s an ethos of performative prankster-style protest wired into the District’s history. This confrontational streettheater school is flourishing with the Trump administration as its nemesis. Each month brings new acts of political theater. “It can take a serious issue into more of a playful place,” said Robin Bell, who projects disparaging messages onto the outside of the Trump International Hotel. “Oftentimes we visualize the absurdity of the situation.” In January, a group of activists associated with political pranksters The Yes Men passed out dozens of fake Washington Posts, with detailed articles depicting President Trump resigning and fleeing the White House. For about a month last fall, a Robert Mueller investigation-themed ice cream truck roamed D.C., passing out free scoops with names like IndictMint Chip. While some protests are designed to get attention, others hide in plain sight like Easter eggs for the observant. Within

Edmond, 54, is serving life without parole for federal drug distribution convictions. (TWP)

THE DISTRICT Former Cardinal Theodore McCarrick has been found guilty by the Vatican of sex abuse and defrocked, as calls rose for Pope Francis to reveal what he knew about the once-powerful American prelate’s apparently decadeslong predatory sexual behavior. The announcement Saturday, delivered in uncharacteristically blunt language for the Vatican, meant that the 88-year-old McCarrick, the former archbishop of Washington, D.C., becomes the highest-ranking churchman and the first cardinal to be punished by dismissal from the clerical state, or laicization. He was notified Friday of the decision, which was upheld upon his appeal and approved by Pope Francis. McCarrick, who in his prestigious red cardinal robes hobnobbed with presidents, other VIP politicians and pontiffs, is now barred from celebrating Mass or other sacraments including confession and from wearing clerical garb. He is to be referred to as Mr. McCarrick. The Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, the Holy See’s guardian of doctrinal purity,

issued a decree on Jan. 11 finding McCarrick guilty of “solicitation in the sacrament of confession, and sins against the Sixth Commandment with minors and adults, with the aggravating factor of the abuse of power,” the Vatican said. That commandment forbids adultery. The pope “recognized the definitive nature of this decision made in accordance with [church] law, rendering it as ‘res iudicata,’” the Vatican said, using the Latin phrase for admitting no further recourse. The McCarrick scandal was particularly damning to the church because it apparently was an open secret in some ecclesial circles that he slept with adult seminarians.

JBG SMITH

TRANSPORTATION Amazon’s pledge to bring thousands of jobs to Northern Virginia over the next decade has injected new life and urgency into several transportation projects long sought for the area, including a second entrance to the Crystal City Metro station. The $90.8 million project is one of five key initiatives to get an infusion of state funding as part of Virginia’s deal with Amazon — a deal that officials and business leaders say helped accelerate the project to construction within the next five years. As part of the agreement to lure Amazon to Crystal City, Virginia committed to $195 million in transportation improvements, which also include an expansion of the Metroway bus system, a south entrance to the future Potomac Yard Metro station, improvements to U.S. Route 1 and the construction of a pedestrian bridge connecting Reagan National Airport to Crystal City. The Crystal City station, served by the Blue and Yellow lines, and other transit services in the area can handle the projected growth from Amazon, officials said. Just like much of the region, Crystal City has experienced declines in transit ridership in recent years. In 2017, entries at the station were down from a 2010 peak by 8,700, or about 29 percent. The influx of Amazon employees and workers at the anticipated ancillary businesses is expected

headquarters this year and 1,180 next year, according to its agreement with the state, and create a minimum of 25,000 jobs by 2030. A building being renovated for initial Amazon occupancy is immediately to the north of the proposed Metro station entrance. Given the location and the immediacy to the future Amazon headquarters, “there is heightened focus” on advancing work, and getting the station designed and into construction, Arlington Transportation Director Dennis Leach said. “It’ll directly serve the anticipated workforce.” Metro and Arlington County officials said preparations have begun; they are wrapping up conceptual design and expect to get funding this year to move to detailed design and construction as early as 2021. The new entrance would open by 2024. “We are trying to move as quickly as we can,” said Lynn Rivers, Arlington’s transit bureau chief. Arlington is leading the construction effort, in coordination with Metro and developer JBG Smith, which owns the adjacent property where part of the entrance will be located. Andrew VanHorn, executive vice president of JBG Smith, said the Amazon deal gave the project the push it needed to secure funding and move forward. “We are lucky enough to have a greater sense of certainty,” VanHorn said.

HAMPTON ROADS TUNNEL PROJECT

The cost to build two new tunnels and widen a major highway in the Hampton Roads area of Virginia, according to a contract announced Friday by Gov. Ralph Northam. The price tag — funded by regional gas and sales taxes, tolls and other sources — makes it one of the two biggest transportation projects in the commonwealth’s history. A pair of two-lane tunnels will be added, and Interstate 64’s four lanes will expand to eight during rush hour. The project is slated for completion in November 2025.

Va. OKs bill for speed cameras in work zones VIRGINIA Virginia lawmakers approved legislation to allow the commonwealth’s first speed camera program, a significant shift for the state, which has been slow to embrace technology that has long been used by law enforcement in the District, Maryland and elsewhere. The legislation, if signed by Gov. Ralph Northam, would allow Virginia State Police troopers to use the cameras only in highway work zones. A trooper’s vehicle would have to have its blue flashing lights activated — and signs warning of camera use would have to be placed within 1,000 feet of the work zone. Tickets would be issued for vehicles traveling at least 12 mph over the posted speed limit. As in Maryland and the District, the $125 citation would be sent by mail. State Sen. Bill Carrico, R, the legislation’s sponsor, said in bill hearings that drivers would be able to contest the fine. Although the program would be limited in its scope, it would signal an important tryout of automated enforcement in Virginia after years of opposition to plans for widespread deployment of speed cameras. More than 130 communities throughout the U.S. have speed camera programs and 422 have red-light cameras, according to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. Maryland and the District are known as national leaders in automated speed enforcement. LUZ LAZO (TWP)

Sailor from iconic photo on V-J Day dies

A Humvee drives Sunday in a village retaken from ISIS by U.S.-backed Syrian Democratic Forces near Baghouz, Syria.

Besieged ISIS militants refuse to surrender Extremists holed up in small Syrian village try to negotiate an exit BAGHOUZ, SYRIA More than 300 Islamic State militants surrounded in a tiny area in eastern Syria are refusing to surrender to U.S.-backed forces and are trying to negotiate an exit, Syrian activists and a person close to the negotiations said Monday. The extremists are bottled up in the village of Baghouz, where they are hiding among hundreds of civilians and preventing them from leaving. The stalling tactics are likely to further delay a declaration of the end of the ISIS group’s self-proclaimed

caliphate, which the U.S.-backed Syrian Democratic Forces were hoping to make last week. A person familiar with the negotiations said the militants are asking for a corridor to the rebelheld northwestern province of Idlib, and demand that they be allowed to leave along with the evacuated civilians. The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, an activist group that monitors the civil war in Syria, said another request by ISIS to be evacuated to neighboring Iraq was also rejected. ISIS released 10 SDF fighters it had been holding on Sunday, but it was not clear what, if anything, the extremists would get in return, the Observatory said.

The speck of land in Syria’s remote eastern desert, near the border with Iraq, is all that remains of the self-styled caliphate that once sprawled across a third of both countries. In that tiny patch on the banks of the Euphrates River, the militants are holed up in what SDF officials describe as a small tented village atop a network of tunnels. There are civilians inside as well, possibly including hostages. The DeirEzzor 24, an activist collective in eastern Syria, said several trucks loaded with food entered ISIS-held areas in Baghouz on Monday. It also reported the release of the SDF fighters, without saying whether there was a quid pro quo. SARAH EL DEEB (AP)

He was shown kissing Greta Zimmer Friedman, a dental assistant in a nurse’s uniform, on Aug. 14, 1945. Known as V-J Day, it was the day Japan surrendered to the U.S. The photo taken by Alfred Eisenstaedt in New York City was first published in Life magazine and is known as “The Kiss.” When he was honored at the Rhode Island State House in 2015, Mendonsa said Friedman, whom he had never met, reminded him of nurses on a hospital ship.

Brexit spurs Labour fracture BOLIVIA

Bus-truck collision kills at least 24, injures 12

KIRSTY WIGGLESWORTH (AP)

LONDON Seven British lawmakers quit the main opposition Labour Party on Monday over its approach to Brexit and anti-Semitism — the biggest shake-up in years for one of Britain’s major parties. The announcement ripped open a long-simmering rift between socialists and centrists in the party, which sees itself as the representative of the working class. It’s also the latest fallout from Britain’s decision to leave the European Union. Many Labour lawmakers have been unhappy with the party’s direction under leader Jeremy Corbyn, a veteran socialist who took charge in 2015 with strong grassroots backing. They accuse Corbyn of mounting a weak opposition to Conservative Prime Minister Theresa May’s plans for leaving the EU, and of failing to stamp out a vein of anti-Semitism in the party. Those leaving Labour have between nine and 27 years’ experience in Parliament and represent constituencies across England but still make up only a small fraction of Labour’s 256

Seven lawmakers leave opposition party, citing anti-Semitism, EU plan

Seven members of Parliament announced Tuesday that they were leaving the Labour Party to start a new group.

lawmakers, and of the 650 total members of Parliament. Luciana Berger, 37, one of those who quit Monday, said Labour had become “institutionally anti-Semitic.” “I am leaving behind a culture of bullying, bigotry and intimidation,” Berger said at a news conference alongside six colleagues. Labour leaders have admitted that Berger, who is Jewish and pregnant, has been bullied by some members of her local party

in northwest England. Labour has been riven by allegations that the party has become hostile to Jews under Corbyn, a longtime supporter of the Palestinians. Corbyn’s supporters accuse political opponents and right-wing media of misrepresenting his views. There have long been signs that voters’ 2016 decision to leave the EU could spark a major overhaul of U.K. politics. May’s own Conservatives are in the throes

of a civil war between the party’s pro-Brexit and pro-EU wings. Many Labour members oppose Brexit — which is scheduled to take place March 29. The new group of seven stopped short of forming a new political party, but they have a name, a website and a statement of principles, which argues for a mix of pro-business and social welfare measures and a pro-Western foreign policy.

Amazon paid no federal taxes last year E-commerce giant Amazon paid no federal taxes on profits of $11.2 billion last year, according to an analysis of the company’s corporate filings by the Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy, a progressive think tank. Thanks to a variety of tax credits and a significant tax break available on pay handed out in the form of company stock, Amazon actually received a federal tax rebate of $129 million last year, giving it an effective federal tax rate of roughly -1 percent.

President Trump declared a national emergency at the border to redirect funds for his wall.

A long legal fight ahead The White House on Sunday defended President Trump’s declaration of a national emergency at the southern border and sought to clarify his contradictory statements about its necessity, marking the start of what’s expected to be a drawn-out fight over funding the construction of a wall amid mounting legal challenges and objections from Congress. (THE WASHINGTON POST/AP) Who is trying to block the move?

Could Trump’s words be used against him?

Where is the money coming from?

Will Trump use veto if lawmakers retaliate?

When have they been declared in the past?

California’s attorney general said he estimated about a dozen states would join a lawsuit against the White House that his office was expected to file after Express’ deadline Monday. Several groups have also initiated legal action. On Friday, the advocacy group Public Citizen filed a lawsuit on behalf of three Texas landowners and an environmental group. Also on Friday, Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington sued the Justice Department, accusing it of failing to provide documents related to the president’s decision.

Critics of the move have seized on some of Trump’s comments as proof he did not need to declare a national emergency. “I could do the wall over a longer period of time,” Trump said Friday during a Rose Garden speech. “I didn’t need to do this, but I’d rather do it much faster.” The 1976 National Emergencies Act (NEA) does not specify what counts as an “emergency,” but it’s certainly possible a court could decide that speed and convenience are insufficient rationales for an “emergency” that could trigger the NEA.

Trump plans to redirect billions of dollars already appropriated to the Defense Department to pay for 230 miles of barriers. Acting Defense Secretary Patrick Shanahan said he’s examining projects that could be delayed or canceled to free up funds. “All of this money has been assigned for different purposes, so it comes down to: What are you going to trade off?” he said. Sen. Tammy Duckworth, D-Ill., said planned construction of training facilities and aircraft hangars could be jeopardized.

Trump is prepared to issue the first veto of his term if Congress votes to disapprove his declaration, a top White House adviser said on Sunday. Democrats are planning to introduce a resolution disapproving of the declaration and it is likely to pass both chambers. Several Republican senators are already indicating they would vote against Trump — though there do not yet appear to be enough votes to override a veto by the president. (A two-thirds supermajority of both houses would be needed.)

Presidents have declared national emergencies since World War II. Bill Clinton declared 17, George W. Bush 12 and Barack Obama 13. The vast majority have been economic sanctions against foreign actors whose activities pose a national threat. But there have been others. Clinton declared one during the 1996 Cuba embargo, preventing U.S. ships or aircraft from entering Cuban territory without authorization. Obama declared one during the H1N1 swine flu epidemic in 2009. And Bush declared one after 9/11; the order is still in effect.

REACTIONS

Trump says Abe nominated him for peace prize POLITICS Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe kept quiet Monday over President Trump’s claim that Abe had nominated him for the Nobel Peace Prize, but praised Trump and emphasized he did not deny doing so. Trump’s assertion Friday that Abe, above, had nominated him for the honor and sent him a copy of the letter has raised questions and criticism in Japan. Questioned in parliament, Abe praised Trump for his dealings with North Korea but said, “In light of the Nobel committee’s policy of not disclosing recommenders and nominees for 50 years, I decline to comment.” Junya Ogawa, an opposition lawmaker, cited various policies and actions by Trump that he said ran contrary to the spirit of the prize, calling the nomination “an embarrassment for Japan.” The Nobel committee’s website says there are 304 candidates for the 2019 prize: 219 individuals and 85 organizations. The committee chooses the recipient in early October and the prize is awarded on Dec. 10, in Oslo, Norway. Former U.S. President Barack Obama was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2009, his first year in office, for laying out a U.S. commitment to “seek the peace and security of a world without nuclear weapons.” Trump complained Friday that Obama was there “for about 15 seconds” before he was awarded the prize.

Left fielder Juan Soto on Monday began his first spring training as a major leaguer.

THREE POINTERS

Kaep might have suitors

Soto arrives with fresh expectations

With Colin Kaepernick’s collusion lawsuit against the NFL settled, his lawyer, Mark Geragos, predicted Saturday that as many as three NFL teams could be interested in signing the quarterback. (TWP)

Last year he was a spring training project. Now he could help fill a void left by Harper. NATIONALS Left fielder Juan Soto’s encore started just before 9 a.m. Monday, when he walked into Washington’s clubhouse, glanced around with an excited look and, not sure what else to do, went to each locker to shake his teammates’ hands. Soto’s 2018 was full of firsts. His first major league at-bat. His first homer. His first time stepping into the box as a feared middle-of-the-order presence once he became one of the best teenage hitters in baseball history. There is room for more firsts this year, his 20-year-old season, and he added one as soon as he entered the clubhouse in West Palm Beach, Fla.: He had arrived for his first big-league spring training. “It’s really good to see what a nice clubhouse here,” Soto said, laughter bubbling out of a big smile. “ … It feels pretty good being with these guys again. New year, starting from the first day.

Feels pretty good.” At this time last year, Soto was another talented kid on the minor-league back fields, still a few years away from his bigleague debut. Or so everyone thought. After missing most of 2017 with injuries, Soto got a handful of Grapefruit League at-bats and, when camp broke for the regular season, headed to Hagerstown, Md., to begin the year with the low-Class A Suns. A string of injuries led to Soto’s call-up in mid-May. In 116 games, he hit .292 with 22 home runs, 70 runs and 79 walks, the most for any teenager since 1900. And then he finished second in voting for NL rookie of the year. After little more than a blink, he has become the player who could replace Bryce Harper as the centerpiece of the order. Soto could be linked to Harper for years, since they both broke into the league at 19 and there’s a

He wants to be with the guys,” said Martinez, who added that he still might limit Kendrick’s work at times. A .291 career hitter, he can fill in at first, second and the outfield. (TWP)

chance Soto also settles into the third spot of the Nationals’ order. But manager Dave Martinez doesn’t want Soto to feel pressure to be Harper. Martinez wants Soto to be himself, stay patient,

keep looking for the best pitches to swing at and take it from there. To help Soto not think so much about hitting, Martinez is going to challenge him in the field and on the basepaths this spring. If pitchers tweak their approach to him once the season begins, Soto and his coaches are confident he can make the next adjustment. “I told him: ‘Don’t put any numbers in your head,’ ” Martinez said, as if it were easy to avoid wondering what Soto can do with a year’s worth of experience. Maybe Soto can put that out of his head. Everyone else is sure to have trouble. JESSE DOUGHERTY

Geragos didn’t specify Seattle, but said it might have been the only team to contact Kaepernick after his last season. Seattle has a similarly mobile QB in Russell Wilson.

2 Carolina Panthers QB Cam Newton underwent shoulder surgery in January, and while Carolina is hopeful he’ll be ready for the opener, Kaepernick might be an athletic insurance policy.

Zion Williamson, left, would provide buzz that Hamidou Diallo created only briefly in Charlotte.

NBA needs Zion to save a lifeless dunk contest Prodigy from Duke has the charisma that was missing Saturday night ANALYSIS It takes more than one classic dunk to make a classic Slam Dunk Contest, and that’s why this year’s event in Charlotte will soon be forgotten. Hamidou Diallo was a crowd favorite and a worthy champion, springing over 7-foot-1 Shaquille O’Neal to finish a Vince Carterstyle elbow dunk that drew a perfect score from the judges. But the little-known Oklahoma City guard needed some real competition, and Dennis Smith Jr., John Collins and Miles Bridges g weren’t

up to the task on a night filled with good ideas poorly executed. But there is a man who is perfectly suited to prevent another underwhelming contest next year in Chicago: Zion Williamson. Duke’s 18-year-old is the consensus top pick in the upcoming draft. Listed at 6-foot-7 and 285 pounds, Williamson cruises through the air like a heat-seeking jumbo missile. As a dunker, he’s a new-age hybrid of Carter and a young Dwight Howard. Williamson’s imposing frame pulsates with force from takeoff to landing, but his natural athleticism adds a lighter flair. It’s impossible to watch his best YouTube work without scrunching up your face out

of pity for the rim. In terms of sheer buzz, Williamson might be the only player to come close to matching Zach LaVine, a twotime Slam Dunk Contest champion, during the social media era. Williamson has the physique and burgeoning fame to headline the 2020 contest, and he also has the history. In 2016, Williamson and Diallo faced off in the Under Armour Elite 24 Dunk Contest in New York, with Williamson emerging victorious. As Diallo clutched his trophy Saturday night, he said he remembered his showdown with Williamson and was open to the idea of a rematch in 2020. “Let’s do it,” Diallo said.

Former NFL quarterback Tim Tebow, who is slated to start the season at the Mets’ Class AAA team in Syracuse, N.Y., said Sunday at spring training that it “wasn’t hard” to turn down an offer from coach Steve Spurrier to join his Orlando team in the Alliance of American Football. “I’m all-in on baseball,” said Tebow, who played college football at Florida, but not when Spurrier coached the Gators.

WELLNESS CORNER

A heavyweight sleep aid Thinking of trying a weighted blanket? Here’s what to know. WELLNESS Weighted blankets — duvet-like bed covers weighing from 5 to 25 pounds — are the latest wellness fad, and have become a hot commodity. For example, the Gravity Blanket, which began as a Kickstarter campaign in 2017, reported $16.5 million in sales for 2018. The theory is that a heavierthan-normal blanket hugs a sleeper, and may prevent tossing and turning. As a result, the sleeper feels more secure, and sleeps more soundly and for longer periods of time. The concept isn’t new. Heavy wraps have been used as a calming mechanism for children with autism, ADHD and other sensory disorders for more than a decade, and parents have swaddled their newborns for centuries. Wit h a few exc ept ions , weighted blankets are composed of 6-by-6-inch stitched squares

(some brands are 4-by-4-inch) filled with tiny glass or plastic beads. The only real distinguishing feature is the exterior, which comes in an array of colors, patterns and fabrics such as cotton, flannel, microfiber and polyester. How did weighted blankets morph from a therapeutic tool to a wellness must-have? Word of mouth, says Bill Fish, co-founder of tuck.com, a sleep resource website. “An acquaintance posted about one on Facebook and received 100 comments in the first 24 hours. People swear by their blankets. It’s astounding,” says Fish, who has tested more than a dozen weighted blankets. In the past year, interest in weighted blankets soared. In November 2018, tuck.com recorded 1 million visitors, with the blanket page being the most visited. Sales of Mosaic Weighted Blankets doubled from 2017 to 2018, and SensaCalm has doubled its sales almost every year since 2008. Mike Grillo, president of Gravity Products, says his company was sold out of blankets by Dec. 10. “The holidays overwhelmed

our expectations,” he says. But there is little data on the efficacy of weighted blankets. As Raj Dasgupta, a spokesman for the American Academy of Sleep Medicine, points out, it’s tough to do a randomized double-blind trial on these products. But Dasgupta is open to the use of weighted blankets. He sees sleep as a puzzle made up of pieces including sound, light, temperature and comfort; restless sleepers and those dealing with insomnia need to figure out their missing piece. For some, the answer is a white noise machine, blackout curtains, the perfect pillow or blue-light blockers. “For others, it’s the sensation of being hugged and cuddled — improved comfort,” Dasgupta says. A weighted blanket isn’t for everyone. Some people feel claustrophobic or uncomfortable. Dasgupta says creating good sleep habits can help as much as external sleep aids. For example, he says, “Don’t be under a weighted blanket looking at your smartphone.” LAURA DAILY (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Tips for buying Although well-known companies such as Sleep Number are getting into the weighted blanket game, there is no industry leader. Most blankets are sold in 5-pound increments, from 5 to 25 pounds. A general rule of thumb is to choose a blanket that is roughly 10 percent of your body weight. Weighted blankets sell for $70 to $300. The blanket’s size, weight and quality of materials all affect the cost. Whether the blanket is a onepiece or slips into a cover, you want one that is machine-washable. Though they come in various lengths, most are 48 inches wide, a bit narrower than a twin bed, so you won’t be sharing with a partner. If you “sleep warm,” a heavy blanket may exacerbate the problem. Look for a natural-fiber cover or one designed to wick moisture. A return or exchange policy is a must. Some sellers offer trial periods.

Do jade rollers do anything? A jade roller is a handsize, paint-roller-like apparatus with a cylinder of jade stone at one end. Some claim that the rolling motion of the stone on your face can help clear toxins and decrease puffiness, while others assert much loftier results: that they can erase wrinkles, stimulate collagen, tighten pores and improve inflammatory skin conditions. Is there any truth to such claims? Suzanne Friedler, a Manhattan-based dermatologist, says jade rollers are as effective as any form of facial massage, including with your hands. “Any time you massage any of the tissues, you’re increasing circulation. Your skin may look brighter, more luminous, maybe more contoured and less puffy,” she says. “But if you’re looking for substantive change, that’s not going to happen with the jade roller.” ELIZABETH KIEFER (TWP)

DR. ANDREA BONIOR | BAGGAGE CHECK

He can’t take our child’s questions Q. My husband has little patience for our toddler’s questions. Typical toddler stuff, lots of “whys,” and questions without answers. I know they can get annoying, but I also think it is good that he asks them and I don’t want him to feel shut down. My husband treats them as a nuisance, gives the briefest explanations that are rarely helpful and seems actively irritated. My guess is he either doesn’t see how he is coming across, or doesn’t understand why it’s a problem. Yes, endless toddler questions can veer a little too close to the seventh circle of hell, and no, no parent has to handle them perfectly patiently all the time. At some point, they do need to be cut off. But there should be a way of cutting them off that is nonetheless helpful and respectful, and

doesn’t turn natural curiosity and the desire to learn into high crimes. Talk to your husband further, saying that it’s something important to you that you want to think through with him. You can arm yourself with podcasts, articles or a parenting class about how to manage this better — and the more you both can identify where his resistance is coming from, the better you can target it.

best friend since childhood. We have more similar personalities than my sister and I do. I am getting married and want to choose my cousin as my maid of honor, but I am getting pushback from my parents and friends that it should be my sister. I don’t think my sister would mind — she’ll be a bridesmaid and she chose her college bestie as her maid of honor — but my mother says it is in poor taste to overlook a sister for a cousin. There are plenty of opportunities for poor taste at weddings, but choosing a longtime best friend and family member as your maid of honor — and doing it in a way that is respectful and loving to everybody else — is not one of them. Your mother may have specific beliefs or worries about appearances, but she’s not the bride. (And where was the kerfuffle when Sis didn’t choose you for her own wedding?) This stuff can be tricky, sure, but in the end it’s pretty straightforward. Find a private, non-ambush way to tell your sister that she’ll be a bridesmaid and that Cousin will be the maid of honor, and that you look so forward to having them both there on your big day.

‘Umbrella Academy’ is a refreshingly strange comic book adaptation TV REVIEW Those wondering what Netflix’s superhero future will be, now that the platform has canceled all of its Marvel shows, need look no further than the refreshingly weird “Umbrella Academy.” The show, which began streaming Friday, is a triumphant amalgam of two comic book miniseries: “The Umbrella Academy: Apocalypse Suite” and “The Umbrella Academy: Dallas.” Elements of both series intertwine

as the show uses major moments from each to serve this 10-episode first season. A quick “Umbrella Academy” 101 course goes as follows: 43 children are born to women who, moments before birth, showed no signs of pregnancy. Many of the children are abandoned, but seven are adopted by a wealthy mad scientist, Sir Reginald Hargreeves. He trains the children, all of whom have powers, to be a superhero team known as the Umbrella Academy. The kids are split up in adulthood at the beginning of the show but are reunited by Hargreeves’ death. Once the band is back

A wind of change amid the deluge

Two Umbrella Academy members awkwardly forgot what group they’re in.

together, they’re a motley crew’s worst nightmare: a man stuck in a gorilla’s body who spent years on the moon (Tom Hopper); a vigilante obsessed with justice and knives (David Castaneda); a former actress who can make

people do whatever she wants by using her voice (Emmy RaverLampman); a drug addict who can talk to the dead (Robert Sheehan); a teleporting time traveler (Aidan Gallagher); and one member who has no powers (Ellen Page).

Netflix cancels “Jessica Jones,” “The Punisher”

Based on the Dark Horse Comics series by Gerard Way and Gabriel Ba, this show makes for a strikingly different comic book adaptation. The nonstop barrage of comic-book-inspired entertainment has primarily been a one-sided event, with most big movies, live-action and animated shows and streams coming from the big two comic book publishers: Marvel and DC. That’s why “The Umbrella Academy” feels like such an achievement. Hollywood execs and streaming giants are still sifting their fingers through bagged and boarded comics looking for gold, but they’re finally taking chances on the really good stuff. If “The Umbrella Academy” is the start of Netflix’s new comic book normal, this is a creepy good start. DAVID BETANCOURT (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Smollett case takes a turn Reports that the crime may have been staged have left many baffled TELEVISION The outrage that simmered after actor Jussie Smollett said he was attacked in Chicago by people shouting racial and anti-gay slurs was fueled in part by celebrities who spoke out on social media. But the outrage has now been replaced by surprise, doubt and bafflement as those who came out in support of the “Empire” star struggle to digest the

strange twists the case has taken. Published reports emerged in recent days saying that police Smollett think Smollett may have staged the attack — something the actor has denied through his lawyers — or that a grand jury may hear evidence in the case. The reports cited unidentified police sources. On Saturday, police spokesman Anthony Guglielmi said the trajectory of the case had “shifted.” The response from Smollett’s

BOX OFFICE HAUL

‘Alita’ tops sluggish holiday weekend

celebrity supporters has ranged from silence to confusion and disbelief. Author Roxane Gay tweeted Saturday that she doesn’t know what to say, but that the situation is a “mess” and a “travesty.” Filmmaker Ava DuVernay said she is waiting for more information. But if there is a consensus among those who vocally supported Smollett from the outset, it’s that no matter what happens, they will still believe victims. DuVernay tweeted: “Whatever the outcome, this won’t stop me from believing others. It can’t.”

The sci-fi thriller “Alita: Battle Angel” earned an estimated $34.2 million to top the domestic box office, Variety reported Monday, marking the slowest Presidents Day weekend in nearly two decades. Last week’s box office champion, “The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part,” finished second with $27.3 million over the four-day weekend, while the rom-com satire “Isn’t It Romantic” opened at No. 3 with $16.6 million.

trending Finding the power to stop epileptic seizures

“ “Y’all ever think about how weed is something that only white people can commercialize and turn into a personality trait? People of color will get called druggies so fast ... ”

Engage Therapeutics has developed a single-use investigational emergency treatment to halt the progression of seizures and is looking for participants at GW Medical Faculty Associates. The investigational therapy combines the easy-touse, FDA-approved Staccato delivery technology with Alprazolam (XANAX), a well-known medication that belongs to a class of benzodiazepines and has potent anti-epileptic properties. INCLUSION CRITERIA EXCLUSION CRITERIA • Ages 18+ • Use of recreational marijuana • Diagnosis of epilepsy with • Asthma, COPD, or difﬁculty breathing predictable seizure episodes • HIV-positivity • Experiencing at least 1 seizure per week All participants will be compensated

@WLWAMERICA, criticizing Tish Cyrus for posing next to a huge cabinet full @

of o large bags of weed. Cyrus claimed the weed wasn’t hers, but she faced backlash on Twitter for being the matriarch of a successful family and thus b able ab to post the photo without repercussions — unlike many poorer people of color who’ve been incarcerated for possessing much smaller quantities.

@ASHLEYFEINBERG, contributing to a debate on Twitter about towels. After user @Advil asked how many towels a couple should own, journalist Yashar Ali responded with “10 bath sheets.” His tweet led to many learning that bath sheets are large towels, sparking a second debate on whether both bath sheets and bath towels are necessary.

“Compelling political drama.”

“My only towel take is that you can either be a ‘bath sheet’ person or a normal ‘bath towel’ person but you can’t have both.”

“The old school Hornets logo is the best logo in all of sports.” @MXWZY, reveling in the appearance of a much-loved jacket with

the former logo of the Charlotte Hornets. Rapper J. Cole, who was raised in North Carolina, wore the throwback clothing for his halftime performance during the NBA All-Star Game. Both J. Cole fans and NBA fans were delighted to see the iconic jacket, which was discontinued after the Hornets moved to New Orleans in 2002.

MEDIUM

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Progress must be measured in a way that is meaningful to you. Don’t let yourself be swayed against your will by someone else’s system. ARIES (March 21-April 19) You are able to accomplish more than you had anticipated. As enthusiastic as you are as the day opens, you’re only more so later on. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) An unexpected visit challenges you in a way that you had not predicted. What happens next is sure to surprise those who consider you a rival. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Others are up to something that threatens to derail you, but very little that goes on today will be carried out in secret.

FRIDAY’S SOLUTION

CANCER (June 21-July 22) You will

want to do as much as you can while remaining under the radar today. You needn’t attract attention while settling a certain score.

FRIDAY’S SOLUTION

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) A shift is likely to begin today that requires you to adjust your thinking about certain domestic issues. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You’re going to have to make your move today as quickly as possible. In this way you can keep chaos to a minimum.

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