The postcard was hand-delivered to Sharon Gongwer of Goshen last week by Christine Combs, the manager of the Quality Inn & Suites in Goshen.

Make way for electric bikes THE DISTRICT

Trump won’t attend correspondents’ dinner

JUMP has offered dockless e-bikes in the District since last fall.

coming as some jurisdictions move to allow e-bikes on trails as soon as this year and others explore the possibility. Transportation officials say they can’t ignore the demand for e-bikes if they want to encourage bike commuting.

“We want to try to support the new interest in electric bikes and have one more way for people to get out on bikes,” said Jim Sebastian, who oversees bicycle infrastructure at the D.C. Department of Transportation.

In the District, transportation officials say they are drafting

rules to allow the pedal-assist bikes on trails and possibly sidewalks outside the downtown area, where conventional bikes are allowed.

JUMP

TRANSPORTATION A surge in the use of electric bicycles throughout the United States is prompting cities to revise regulations that restrict their use, including bans against riding them on sidewalks and trails.

Morgan L ommele of the PeopleForBikes cycling advocacy group says that about half of U.S. states classify e-bikes as motor vehicles. They require licensing, registration and even insurance. Others put pedalassist e-bikes with speeds up to 20 mph in the same category as regular bicycles.

D.C. and other Washingtonarea jurisdictions are among those taking steps to modernize and streamline policies advocates say are outdated.

In the District and some of its suburbs, e-bikes are not permitted on trails and sidewalks. The National Park Service, which operates major bike paths in the region, including the 18-mile Mount Vernon Trail, also bans the motorized bicycles. So do the park systems in Montgomery, Prince George’s and Fairfax counties.

As they gain popularity, area authorities consider easing rules on where they may be used

Montgomery adopted park rules last year that give the county discretion to open trails to e-bikes on a case-by-case basis.

Casey Anderson, chair of the Montgomery County Planning Board, said the county wants to take things gradually, “so we don’t provoke a backlash against e-bikes and bicycles in general.”

It’s not just locally. In New York, Mayor Bill de Blasio, D, announced last week that the city will legalize the use of pedal-assist electric bikes, shifting its hardline stance of the past few months.

The news was not a surprise, because Trump had said, “I probably won’t do it,” in a radio interview that aired Friday on WABC.

Protest lessons from past Students at Howard U. looked to history for recent demonstration

Ride-hailing app faces roadblock in the District ASTRID RIECKEN (FOR THE WASHINGTON POST)

THE DISTRICT Last weekend, on the third day of their takeover of the administration building at Howard University, students spilled out of a lengthy negotiating session with trustees in a jubilant mood.

The meeting had gone well.

Progress had been made. And the celebratory exit was accompanied by a buoyant chant.

“Beep, beep! Bang, bang! Ungawa! Black power!” they sang.

It was not the first time that chant has been heard at a Howard demonstration. In 1968, hundreds of students stood in front of the same building, singing and clapping along to the song, an expression of unity marking their takeover of the hall.

That the song reemerged at this year’s protest, which ended Friday and is the longest in Howard’s history, was no accident. Though the March 29 takeover of the “A” building by several hundred students seemed to come out of the blue, it was actually months in the planning and decades in the making. Organizers of the occupation at the nation’s premier black university say the 1968 protest and another in 1989 informed the strategy and, perhaps more important, the spirit of their action.

Student members of HU Resist, the group that organized the protest, began discussing the possibility of an occupation in January.

Student protesters temporarily renamed the school’s administration building the Kwame Ture Student Center, after graduate and civil rights activist Stokely Carmichael, who changed his name after moving to Africa in 1968.

As part of its preparation, members looked to similar student actions that had buffeted the university.

“We do this knowing that we are not the first to do this and we respect that,” senior Alexis McKenney, a protest leader, told reporters. “We’ve had a lot of solidarity from people from ’89 and ’68 saying that they are proud of us for continuing that tradition of student organizing and student activism in holding our university accountable.”

Freshman Imani Bryant, another leader of the student demonstrators, said they took cues from their predecessors in every aspect of their rebellion.

“We were trying to learn from them and learn from history,”

Student sit-in ends Howard University students and officials announced Friday a deal ending the protest that began last week. Some aspects of the agreement: students will be involved in reviewing the adequacy of campus housing; officials will consider not increasing undergraduate tuition for 2019-20; the university will form a sexual violence task force. The Board of Trustees said it still supports President Wayne A.I. Frederick. (AP)

Bryant said Wednesday.

What the students wanted to emulate most from their protesting predecessors was the sense of unity and focus those students had, Bryant said.

At a news conference Friday to announce the end of the occupation, students once again paid tribute to their forebears at Howard. Oliver Robinson, one of the student organizers, thanked student protesters from 1968 and 1989 for “setting the foundation and for the sacrifices they made.”

“In 1968, they called for a black university. That was 50 years ago,” Robinson said. “And 50 years later, we are here calling for that same black university … a space where all black people are welcome, their voices can be heard, they are prioritized, and where we can empower each other through student power, alumni power, faculty power and the power of the D.C. community.”

TRAFFIC CAMERA BUYBACK

The amount a company that sold scores of traffic cameras to Baltimore for more than $2 million a few years ago has bought them back for, The Baltimore Sun reports. In 2013, city officials paid $2.2 million for a fleet of speed cameras from Brekford Corp., which was the city’s traffic camera vendor. But after the speed camera system was shut down amid accuracy concerns, city officials decided last year to sell many of the cameras back to Brekford for pennies on the dollar. (AP)

Maryland man gets 10 years for dogfighting, credit card fraud

TRANSPORTATION An app-based ride-hailing service is violating D.C. law by serving only select neighborhoods — none east of the Anacostia River — and risks losing its license if it does not expand coverage across the District in 90 days, city officials said last week.

Uber and Lyft have become household names, but a lesserknown competitor, Via, has captured an increasing share of the Washington ride-share market by offering discounted rides in the city’s downtown core and surrounding neighborhoods.

But its coverage map excludes Wards 7 and 8 east of the Anacostia, largely black and lowincome neighborhoods that have historically been underserved and ignored by new services.

Via contends its rollout strategy is meant to encourage pooling in dense areas and cut down on congestion.

But D.C. Council member Mary Cheh, who drafted the city’s law governing ride-share services, said Via’s neighborhood-byneighborhood model violates specific provisions of the law that require companies to provide service across D.C. “A company that uses digital dispatch shall provide service throughout the entire District,” according to the Vehicle for Hire Innovation Amendment Act of 2014.

“The idea is that when you serve, you serve everybody in the District,” Cheh said.

VIRGINIA Virginia could be on the cusp of expanding Medicaid to 400,000 low-income residents after a veteran Republican state senator said Friday he is willing to split with his party and help Democrats realize a goal they have been chasing for years.

State Sen. Frank W. Wagner, Virginia Beach, said he supports allowing more poor people to enroll in the federal-state health care program on two conditions.

He wants the plan structured so Medicaid recipients do not suddenly lose coverage if their earnings rise. And he wants a tax credit or some other help for middle-income people who already have insurance but are struggling to pay soaring premiums

Virginia inches closer to expanding Medicaid

Sen. Frank W. Wagner, R-Virginia Beach, said he supports a plan to expand Medicaid in the state.

and copays.

While those details remain to be worked out, Wagner’s position could break a standoff over Medicaid and the state budget in Virginia’s General Assembly,

averting a government shutdown and handing an enormous win to Gov. Ralph Northam, D, just three months into his term. The legislature convenes Wednesday for a special session on the budget.

“We’re putting together a package, I hope, that helps as many Virginians as we can,” Wagner said Friday.

Democrats need two Senate Republicans to pass Medicaid expansion in that chamber as part of a state budget. The House already passed a version of Medicaid expansion earlier this year.

A second Republican, Sen. Emmett Hanger Jr., has supported certain forms of expansion for years but objected to some aspects of the House plan.

HUMBOLDT, SASKATCHEWAN A hockey arena became the epicenter of grief for a small Canadian town on Sunday, as friends, relatives and those who housed members of a youth hockey team gathered to mourn 15 people killed when a semi-trailer slammed into the team’s bus.

Fourteen were also injured, some critically, in a collision that left a country, its national sport and the hockey-obsessed town of Humboldt reeling.

The bus had 29 on board, including the driver, when it crashed at about 5 p.m. Friday on Highway 35, police said.

Among the dead are Broncos head coach Darcy Haugan, team captain Logan Schatz and radio announcer Tyler Bieber.

The names of all the dead and injured have not been released by police.

Residents of this town of fewer than 6,000 have been leaving flowers, team jerseys and personal tributes on the steps of the arena’s entrance, forming a makeshift memorial.

The Broncos are a close-knit team who dyed their hair blond for the playoffs. The bus was driving the team to a crucial playoff game Friday against the Nipawin Hawks.

Chemical attack kills 40

Syrian government denies responsibility as deal is reached with rebels near capital

Man who died in Trump Tower fire is identified

SYRIAN CIVIL DEFENSE WHITE HELMETS VIA AP

DOUMA, SYRIA Syrian doctors and rescue workers said Sunday that dozens of people had died in an apparent chemical attack on a besieged enclave near Damascus as government forces escalated their offensive to recapture the last rebel strongholds.

The attack, which killed at least 40 people in the city of Douma on Saturday night, appeared to force the start of a final withdrawal of rebels from the most strategically important district to remain under opposition control. An agreement allowing them to pull out was announced by the Russian military in Syria.

More than 500 people “were brought to local medical centers with symptoms indicative of exposure to a chemical agent,” according to the Syrian American Medical Society, a Washingtonbased nonprofit group that supports health facilities in the area.

Footage from the area showed bodies strewn across the floor.

Rescue workers at the scene said the smell of chlorine in the room had been almost overpowering.

President Trump responded to the attack on his Twitter account Sunday, describing it as an “atrocity.”

The attack came as Syrian government forces stepped up an eight-week offensive against Douma, controlled by rebels from the Jaish al-Islam group.

More than six years into Syria’s bitter civil war, President Bashar al-Assad’s military has repeatedly been accused of using chemical weapons in densely populated areas, a tactic that experts say is intended to sow terror and break morale.

As rescue workers counted the dead Sunday, pro-government outlets reported that a deal had finally been reached

for the rebels to leave the area.

That was confirmed by Russian General Yuri Yevtushenko, who said that 8,000 fighters would be allowed to pull out, according to the Russian news agency TASS. Jaish al-Islam did not respond to requests for comment.

Syrian state media and Russia’s Foreign Ministry dismissed claims that Syrian troops were responsible for the deaths in Douma. Russia is a principal ally of Assad.

The allegations are “without basis” and are “designed to shield the terrorists … who reject a political settlement,” the Russian Foreign Ministry said.

State Department spokeswoman Heather Nauert described the reports from eastern Douma as “disturbing” and “horrifying,” saying they required an “immediate response by the international community.”

A representative for the United Nations said Secretary-General

Trump blasts Putin, Iran President Trump on Sunday vowed in a tweet that there would be a “big price to pay” for the reported chemical attack in Syria. In a rare direct criticism of Russian President Vladimir Putin, Trump said Russia and Iran shared blame for supporting Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. On Wednesday, the administration announced the U.S. military presence in Syria is “coming to a rapid end.” White House homeland security adviser Thomas Bossert said nothing should be taken “off the table,” as Republicans urged Trump to reconsider his plan to withdraw from Syria. (TWP)

Antonio Guterres was “particularly alarmed by allegations that chemical weapons have been used against civilian populations in Douma” but that the U.N. was “not in a position to verify these reports.”

26K evacuated in western Germany for removal of WWII bomb found during construction work

More than 1,700 people have been killed in eastern Ghouta, in which Douma is the largest city, since the Syrian army and allied Russian forces began a punishing assault in February.

A U.N. Security Council resolution failed to quell the fighting, and over the past month, more than 130,000 Syrians have left eastern Ghouta as part of evacuation deals between rebels and government forces, the U.N. said.

A fragile cease-fire had shielded Douma’s residents for 10 days as Russia led talks with Jaish al-Islam to negotiate their withdrawal from the area after six years of control. But that respite was shattered Friday.

A victory for government forces in Douma would effectively mark a death blow to the armed rebellion against Assad, whose government has wielded brutal force to snuff out a yearslong uprising. LOUISA LOVELUCK AND ERIN CUNNINGHAM (THE WASHINGTON POST)

NEW YORK CITY The man killed in a blaze at New York City’s Trump Tower was an art collector who spent time with Andy Warhol, but fell on hard financial times in recent years and went through bankruptcy proceedings.

Todd Brassner, 67, died on Saturday at a hospital after a fire tore through his 50th-floor apartment in the high-rise, which was constructed at a time when building codes did not require the residential section to have sprinklers.

A cause has not yet been determined. The fire sent thick, black smoke pouring from the windows of the skyscraper.

New York Fire Commissioner Daniel Nigro said the apartment was “virtually entirely on fire” when firefighters arrived.

Fire sprinklers were not required in New York City highrises when Trump Tower was completed in 1983.

Some fire-safety advocates pushed for a requirement that older apartment buildings be retrofitted with sprinklers when New York City passed a law requiring them in new residential high-rises in 1999, but officials in the administration of thenMayor Rudy Giuliani said that would be too expensive.

Trump was among the developers who spoke out against the retrofitting as expensive and unnecessary.

N. Korea says it’s willing to talk denuclearization

MUENSTER, GERMANY

verbatim

NATIONAL SECURITY North Korea’s government has communicated with the United States to say that leader Kim Jong Un is ready to discuss his nuclear weapons program with President Trump, officials said Sunday, increasing the likelihood that the unprecedented summit will actually occur.

The confirmation from Pyongyang directly, rather than from a third country like South Korea, has created more confidence within Trump’s administration about the wisdom of holding such a meeting, as U.S. officials make secretive preparations. The Trump administration has long said that if the North Koreans weren’t ready to discuss giving up their nuclear program, there was no reason for the two countries to hold negotiations.

Trump took his own administration and other countries by surprise last month when he accepted an unusual offer from Kim to hold a meeting. The North had conveyed the invitation to a visiting delegation from South Korea, which in turn traveled to Washington and relayed the message to Trump.

The president said yes to the meeting on the spot, even though the U.S. had not yet heard directly from North Korea about Kim’s intentions. The U.S. later heard from other countries,

Pyongyang confirms to White House its offer to negotiate with U.S.

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un and President Trump are expected to hold a meeting, but the location and date of the summit has yet to be set.

including China, where Kim paid a rare visit, that the North was serious about the offer.

Still, North Korea’s government has not said anything publicly at all about a meeting with Trump, and the lack of known contact between Pyongyang and Washington about the meeting has fueled further speculation about the seriousness of Kim’s offer.

A Trump administration official on Sunday said that the U.S. had “confirmed that Kim Jong Un is willing to discuss the denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula.” A second official said that confirmation had come through direct contact between U.S. and North Korean officials.

Neither of the officials would say when or how the contact took place, nor in what location. The officials weren’t authorized to

comment by name.

Previously, former Secretary of State Rex Tillerson had said there were at least two or three channels through which U.S. and North Korean officials communicate from time to time.

The Trump administration has not said where the meeting will take place or whether a location has been determined, nor has an exact date been set.

Initially, the White House said it expected the meeting to take place by the end of May. It’s unclear whether a date that early could be achieved or whether it might be delayed.

The contacts between Pyongyang and Washington come as Trump’s new national security adviser, former U.N. Ambassador John Bolton, prepares to start work at the White House today. JOSH LEDERMAN (AP)

Damage control at Facebook TECHNOLOGY Anyone who’s been wondering if their private Facebook data might have been swept up in the Cambridge Analytica scandal will soon get their first clues.

Starting today, all 2.2 billion Facebook users will receive a notice on their feeds, titled “Protecting Your Information,” with a link to see what apps they use and what information they have shared with those apps. If they want, they can shut off apps individually or turn off third-party access to their apps completely.

In addition, the 87 million users who might have had their data shared with Cambridge Analytica will get a more detailed message informing them of this. Facebook says most of the affected users (more than 70 million) are in the U.S., though there are more than a million each in the Philippines, Indonesia and the U.K. Reeling from its worst privacy crisis yet — allegations that this Trump-affiliated data mining firm may have used ill-gotten user data to try to influence elections — Facebook is in full damage-control mode, with CEO Mark Zuckerberg acknowledging he’s made a “huge mistake” in failing to take a broad enough view of what Facebook’s responsibility is in the world. He’s set

Trump suggests China will ease trade barriers

JEFF ROBERSON (AP)

Company will directly notify users who might have had data shared

to testify before Congress this week.

Meanwhile, Facebook’s disclosure last week that its search tools were used to collect data on most of its 2.2 billion users could potentially trigger record fines and create new legal vulnerability for not having prevented risks to user data, three former federal officials said.

The three former officials, all of whom were at the Federal Trade Commission during the privacy investigation that led to a 2011 consent decree with Facebook, said the company’s latest mishap may violate the decree’s provisions requiring the implementation of a privacy program.

The language was written to require Facebook to identify and

Record fines ahead?

Violations of an FTC consent decree carry the possibility of fines that could top $40,000 per “violation.”

With more than 200 million people in the U.S. using Facebook, the fines could — at least in theory — reach into the trillions of dollars if the FTC finds violations. Former FTC officials said the actual fines would be far smaller but could easily top the record — a $168 million civil penalty by the FTC against the DISH Network for violating telemarketing rules.

address emerging threats to user privacy as its business practices changed over the 20-year term of the consent decree, said David Vladeck, who was head of

the FTC’s bureau of consumer protection when the decree was drafted and signed by Facebook.

That meant the company was required to limit its sharing of user data and prevent outsiders from improperly gaining access, he said.

“Is it possible that this episode is also a violation of the consent decree? I would say yes,” said Vladeck, now a Georgetown University law professor.

He predicted Facebook may face fines of $1 billion or more for this and the Cambridge Analytica data breach.

“The agency will want to send a signal … that the agency takes its consent decrees seriously,” Vladeck said. (AP/ THE WASHINGTON POST)

ECONOMY Amid global fears of an escalating trade dispute between the U.S. and China, President Trump suggested that Beijing will ease trade barriers “because it is the right thing to do.”

But fostering more uncertainty, the president’s top economic advisers offered mixed messages Sunday as to the best approach with China, which has threatened to retaliate if Washington follows through with its proposed tariffs.

“Taxes will become Reciprocal & a deal will be made on Intellectual Property,” Trump tweeted. But he did not explain why, amid a week of economic saber-rattling between the two countries, he felt confident a deal could be made.

The new White House economic adviser, Larry Kudlow, said Sunday that a “coalition of the willing” — including Canada, much of Europe and Australia — was being formed to pressure China and that the U.S. would demand that the World Trade Organization, an arbiter of trade disputes, be stricter on Beijing.

And he said that although the U.S. hoped to avoid taking action, Trump “was not bluffing.”

Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin said on CBS that he didn’t expect the tariffs to have a “meaningful impact on the economy” even as he left the door open for disruption. He allowed that there “could be” a trade war but said he didn’t anticipate one.

THREE POINTERS

Patrick Reed reacts after making a 3-foot putt on No. 18 to complete his one-stroke victory.

Big breakthrough Patrick Reed captures his first major by holding off Fowler and Spieth at Augusta THE MASTERS Patrick Reed became famous playing for his country. He won for himself Sunday at the Masters.

Rory McIlroy came after him early. Jordan Spieth briefly tied him for the lead. Rickie Fowler birdied the last hole to leave him no room for error.

Reed never flinched through it all on a raucous afternoon at Augusta National, calmly rolling in a 3-foot par putt for a 1-under 71 and a one-shot victory.

Captain America is now the Masters champion.

Reed won for the sixth time in his PGA Tour career, but he was best known for the trophies he shared at the Ryder Cup. He is ferocious in match play,

especially the team variety, and his singles victory over McIlroy at Hazeltine in 2016 led to the nickname of Captain America.

Even as the loudest cheers Sunday were for others, Reed earned admiration with two big birdie putts on the back nine, one key par and plenty of grit.

The 27-year-old Texan becomes the fourth straight Masters champ to win his first major.

Spieth did it in 2015, followed by Danny Willett and Sergio Garcia.

Fowler holed an 8-foot birdie putt on the final hole for a 67.

He had to settle for his third runner-up finish in a major.

He left the scoring cabin when Reed two-putted for par down the slippery slope on the 18th green and waited for a chance

to greet Reed.

“Glad I at least made the last one, make him earn it,” Fowler said with a grin.

“You had to do it didn’t you?”

Reed told him as they hugged.

Spieth put up the most unlikely fight and was on the verge of the greatest comeback in Masters history. He started nine shots

behind going into the final round, and was inches away on two shots from a chance at another green jacket. His tee shot on the 18th clipped the last branch in his way, dropping his ball some 267 yards from the green. His 8-foot par putt for a record-tying 63 narrowly missed on the right.

He had to settle for a 64.

McIlroy, meanwhile, will have to wait another year for a shot at the career Grand Slam. Trailing by three shots to start the final round, he closed to within one shot after two holes but faded to a 74, good for a fifth-place tie.

Tiger Woods closed with a 69, his best round of the tournament. That gave him a one-overpar 289, which tied for 32nd.

He had played roughly six of the final eight minutes of the

game Saturday, one goal shy of 50 — and one goal shy of a hat trick for the night.

Pucks were bouncing around him, force-fed by his teammates.

Washington ended the regular season 49-26-7 for 105 points, not quite as dominant as the past two Presidents’ Trophy-winning seasons, but perhaps more impressive considering this team leaned on less experienced and less expensive players after running into salary cap constraints over the summer.

A driving force of the team’s success was Ovechkin, who scored 18.9 percent of the Capitals’ goals. He started the season with hat tricks in his first two games and he nearly ended his season with one, too. ISABELLE

REDSKINS QB Kevin Hogan, who was a star at Gonzaga College High School in D.C., is coming home.

The Redskins on Friday traded their sixth-round pick (No. 188 overall) in this month’s draft to the Cleveland Browns for Hogan and the Browns’ sixth-round pick (No. 205 overall).

Hogan, 25, was drafted out of Stanford in the sixth round in 2016 by Kansas City, the former team of current Redskins starter Alex Smith.

Hogan will join Smith, Colt McCoy and Stephen Morris in Washington’s quarterback room.

The Chiefs released Hogan six months after drafting him.

He signed with Cleveland at the start of the 2016 season.

In two years with the Browns, he appeared in eight games (with one start), completing 60 of 101 passes for 621 yards with four touchdowns and seven interceptions.

Hogan spent much of last season as the backup to DeShone Kizer, the Browns’ 2017 secondround pick. After Kizer struggled early, Hogan was tabbed as the starter in Week 6 against Houston. But Kizer was renamed the starter the following week.

The addition of Hogan doesn’t preclude the Redskins from taking a quarterback in the draft April 26-28. But if the organization sets its sights on a young signal-caller, it likely will be in the later rounds. KIMBERLEY A. MARTIN (THE WASHINGTON POST)

STUDIES SHOW …

Tidy up or miss out Neglect LinkedIn and you could be losing valuable opportunities CAREER TIPS When Jason Patel founded his D.C.-based college and career prep company Transizion, he needed ways to demonstrate his expertise to persuade clients to come on board. LinkedIn proved to be one place where he could easily do that.

“The parents and students in our target audience aren’t going to spend money with a company they have no idea about,” says Patel, 25. “So they could look at my company profile and my [personal] profile to see that I’m an actual person who has experience. Social proof, in a positive way, is always better than no social proof at all.”

And Patel doesn’t just have a static LinkedIn profile simply restating his résumé. He also uses the platform to publish articles about college and workplace skills. A recent piece he wrote

about the leadership style of Los Angeles Rams coach Sean McVay served as a conversation starter with the parent of a potential client. “It’s a great way to find common ground to build trust,” he says.

Potential networkers tend to fall into two camps when it comes to LinkedIn. They either love it or don’t quite get what all the fuss is about. If you’re one of the latter, you could be missing out on some easy opportunities to use LinkedIn to your career advantage. You’d probably Google the name of a blind date, right? Employers and business owners do the same thing with potential candidates or clients. If you don’t have a LinkedIn page, you might look less legitimate, no matter what experience and accolades you’ve racked up. A lackluster profile can be just as bad. “If there’s no picture, no summary, none of that kind of information, it leaves a flat feeling,” says Paula Brand, an Annapolis-based career coach and consultant who’s

Get LinkedIn to a job When Michelle Sullivan, 46, was ready to look for a new job, she turned to LinkedIn, which had helped her find jobs in the past.

And because she was an active user — commenting on posts, keeping up with connections — she felt comfortable tapping her network for leads. “Because I already had a level of engagement, it didn’t feel like I was reaching out to someone I hadn’t interacted with in years,” says Sullivan, who lives in Vienna, Va. “I picked about 20 percent of my contacts and sent a note that I was looking for a new position.” A phone call to a LinkedIn connection actually led to her current job as marketing director for training-management system Training Orchestra. Career coach Paula Brand has seen plenty of people navigate LinkedIn’s hidden job market this way. “You want to be networking and finding out about it before it gets posted,” she says.

Worse, it can make you seem lazy. “A profile that isn’t completely filled out gives the indication that maybe you don’t pay enough attention to detail or you don’t care enough, which may not be the kind of person I want to reach out to,” says Patrice Rice, CEO and founder of Patrice & Associates, a Dunkirk, Md.-based recruitment company specializing in the restaurant, hospitality and retail sectors that uses LinkedIn to find candidates.

“List your accomplishments, but list things that are specific to you. Saying, ‘I’m highly skilled in training’ is something anyone can say about themselves. But if you say you have a proven track record in employee retention because of your unique training methods, it’s specific to what you’ve done.”

The share of American adults who say they’re lonely has doubled since the 1980s to 40 percent, according to AARP. A study published last month in the Harvard Business Review by the San Francisco workplace consulting firm BetterUp offers more information about how loneliness varies by industry.

Sixty-one percent of the lawyers in the sample ranked “above average” on a loneliness scale.

Other particularly lonely groups were engineers (57 percent), followed by research scientists (55 percent), workers in food preparation and serving (51 percent), and those in education and library services (45 percent). That loneliness is a risk for employers: Workers who describe solitary days tend to quit and take sick time more often than those who feel connected to their colleagues, according to multiple studies.

which helps businesses with company culture and millennial engagement. So she got a professionally done headshot, replaced jargon with concise, simple language, and started posting daily updates about her company and industry.

Since October, she’s increased her connections from about 2,000 to some 7,000. She’s also generated new business for her firm and landed several speaking engagements. “I had no idea what was possible on this platform,” says Hyland, 33, who lives in Baltimore. “My regular daily posts [on LinkedIn] will get on average anywhere from 1,000 to 10,000 people seeing them.”

Hyland wants to be a thought

leader in her field. But even if your aspirations aren’t that lofty, posting updates and articles on LinkedIn, as well as thoughtfully commenting on others’ posts, can pay off.

“It gives people a sense of how you think,” says Jen Dalton, CEO and founder of BrandMirror in Oakton, Va., which helps clients build their personal brand.

“Liking stuff is great, but you could put a comment instead that people will see and might say, ‘I like the way they think about that.’ If you’re doing stuff like that, it will be noticed.”

Consistency is key, and you want to think like Goldilocks when it comes to speaking up on LinkedIn — not too much, not too little, but just the right amount for the goals you’re trying to accomplish. “Treat your voice

with the respect that it deserves,” Patel says.

When it comes to making connections on the site, some people go for quantity, while others focus on quality. Winston Lord first tried maximizing his number of connections when he started using LinkedIn several years ago, thinking it would be an effective way to amass customers for Venga, the business intelligence platform he co-created in D.C. for restaurants and fitness studios.

“I would try to connect with anyone in the industry, thinking that if I connect with them I can reach out and ask them to buy my product,” says Lord, 50.

“But I quickly found out that was a huge waste of my time and created a lot of false hopes.”

He’s shifted his focus to making connections he classifies as

Maybe you automatically delete generic requests, or you accept requests only from people in your field and geographic area. Or you can respond to ask for more information about why they want to connect. Those standards will vary by industry and personal preference.

Name: Steve AuBuchon, 60 Position: Coach, instructor and relief captain, DC Sail Salary: Industry standard is $45,000-55,000 per year

What he does What does Steve AuBuchon do at DC Sail, the community sailing program on the Southwest Waterfront? It depends on when you ask. In the spring and fall, he is one of five assistant sailing coaches for the center’s high school racing teams. In the summer, he heads Kids Set Sail, a camp for aspiring sailors ages 7 to 15. And throughout the year, AuBuchon is a relief captain for the American Spirit, a 65-foot schooner used for cruising the

Potomac River.

AuBuchon keeps busy on the water almost all year round, and it isn’t all blue skies and calm tides.

One of the toughest things he has to combat is the weather. “[The] No. 1 concern about anything on the water is always safety, so you have to be really vigilant,” he says. “If there’s lightning within 10 miles, we’re off the water.”

AuBuchon is also a certified yoga instructor, so when wind or other threatening elements keep him and his students from getting out on the water, he teaches them yoga poses to help restore the muscles they use to sail (it takes a lot of inversion poses).

He also uses that time to go

over practice scenarios, sailing theory and dynamics, and the rules of racing.

“If you’re racing, understanding the rules is really important,” he says.

When teaching the youngsters, AuBuchon likes to make sure his students know sailing terminology, can understand and practice water safety and can handle a boat by the time camp comes to a close. His students and high school racers (of whom there are about 40 to 50 each season) return to DC Sail’s programs year after year to pick up new skills.

“It’s a great community,” he says.

“I just love being on the water,” he says. “It’s a peacefulness I find.”

How he got the job AuBuchon learned to sail when he was 10 years old.

The Chicago native went out on cold, windy Lake Michigan with a good friend who came from a family of sailors and boaters. Nowadays, some of his family’s favorite vacations are sailing trips.

Unt i l fou r ye a r s a go , AuBuchon was working full time

in product management. His kids, then in high school, sailed on the Potomac, so he was very familiar with DC Sail.

He took up shifts working a summer program with the company, and progressively became more and more involved after he retired.

doing almost all of the work,” he says of his students.

How you can get the job

Who would want the job?

AuBuchon says if you’re a good sailor and you enjoy being around kids, working at a sailing program might be for you.

You also have to be flexible and able to roll with the punches.

“You never know what the day’s going to bring,” he says.

But the work isn’t as physically taxing as you might expect — at least not for AuBuchon.

“You’re moving around all the time, you’re active, but they’re

Sailing instructor

Steve AuBuchon’s enemy is bad weather: “You have to be really vigilant.”

If you want to work at a sailing school, AuBuchon says you need to have serious sailing experience and some qualifications: A Sailing Level 1 certification (which you can sign up for through the United States Sailing Association — aka US Sailing), first aid and CPR training and a lifeguarding certification are good places to start.

“The more certifications you have, the more at ease that someone’s going to be with you on board,” he says.

AuBuchon says the goal of DC Sail is to make the water accessible to everyone — “to take advantage of the great resource we have.” ALLIE CAREN (FOR EXPRESS)

MUST-SEE THIS WEEK

1 ‘New Girl’ 9:30 p.m. Tuesday on Fox

Feels like going home In a new era for renovation shows, TLC’s ‘Trading Spaces’ returns exactly as it was TELEVISION TLC’s “Trading Spaces,” one of television’s most primordial home improvement reality shows, ended its eight-season run in 2008 at roughly the same moment that American homeowners experienced a housing bubbleburst, pushing the economy into the Great Recession.

The cable schedule back then was (and still is) littered with shows that spur house envy, encouraging viewers to live in a constant state of renovation, makeover and upgrade. Homeownership became the highest expression of citizenship, and decor the chief signifier of class. “Trading Spaces,” which premiered in 2000, helped ignite that craze.

The show returned on Saturday (new episodes 8 p.m. each week), reminding us that it is built on a purer concept than its contemporaries “Flip or Flop” or “Fixer Upper.” “Trading Spaces” never goaded anyone into ditching their old house for an openfloor-plan McMansion beyond their means. Its core principles were to work with what you have on a restrained budget. It preached a DIY ethic, asking couples to swap houses and redo a room, aided (some would say strong-armed) by a designer and carpenter.

“Trading Spaces” intends to bring some new talent aboard, but the show knows full well that fans are here to see their old favorites. In addition to host Paige

“Trading Spaces” returns us to a safer, saner space of amateur willingness and neighborly bonhomie.

Davis, designers Doug Wilson and Hildi Santo-Tomas pop into the rooms like much-missed friends. The carpenters are Ty Pennington and Carter Oosterhouse. Little else has changed — except the spending limit, having been raised from $1,000 to $2,000.

Since “Trading Spaces” came and went, we’ve been subjected

to far worse in the reality/realestate genre: Shows about million-dollar listings preened over by smarmy agents. Shows about flipping houses that were mostly about greed. Shows about home renovations hosted by holierthan-thou couples with sentimental notions of design.

“Trading Spaces” returns us to a safer, saner space of amateur willingness and neighborly bonhomie. Aesthetically, though, it seems Doug and Hildi haven’t moved a stone in 10 years: When the couples opened their eyes in Saturday’s premiere, there was no mistaking that both rooms looked very much like the rooms that were revealed all those years ago. HANK STUEVER

2 TLC

Host Paige Davis, left, and carpenter Ty Pennington fight over who gets to use the circular saw.

The series that gave us the word “adorkable” returns for a final, eight-episode seventh season. A threeyear time jump finds Jess (Zooey Deschanel) and Nick (Jake Johnson) contemplating marriage.

‘Lost in Space’ Available Friday on Netflix

In this remake of the 1965 sci-fi series, Toby Stephens and Molly Parker star as explorers whose family starts a new life in space, only to find themselves stranded on an unknown planet.

In its fourth season, the zombie thriller has timejumped to catch up with its sister show, “The Walking Dead,” and has added a star from that show, Lennie James, to its cast.

BOX OFFICE HAUL

The box office take of “A Quiet Place” this weekend, making the John Krasinskidirected horror film the year’s second-best debut after “Black Panther.” Steven Spielberg’s virtual reality adventure “Ready Player One” slid to second place at the box office with $25.1 million in its second weekend. The R-rated comedy “Blockers” rounded out the top three with a solid $21.4 million debut. “Black Panther” continues to hold strong, earning $8.4 million in its eighth weekend of release.

A single poem is analyzed/ Explicated and scrutinized/ Seems a recipe/ For must-not-see TV. That’s the premise of “Poetry in America,” a PBS series (11 p.m. and 11:30 p.m. Sundays on WETA). One poem is dissected in each episode. But we’re not talking about rhyming poems like my doggerel above. We’re talking about poems that reveal

the essence of a poet’s soul.

Harvard professor Elisa New is the host. And she has plenty of ultra-A-list company to chat with, including “Sex in the City” alum and New York gubernatorial candidate Cynthia Nixon, basketballer Shaquille O’Neal, former Vice President Joe Biden, Sen. John McCain and rapper Nas, to name a few.

The poets represented are literary giants past and present, Carl Sandburg and Langston Hughes among them.

PBS

Giving rhymes reason: PBS talks poetry in a new series What can poetry teach us about basketball? Let Shaquille O’Neal explain.

The first episode explores Emily Dickinson’s “I cannot dance opon my toes.” The host and experts talk about Dickinson and the “toes” poem. In her 19th-century era, female poets were expected to pen rhyming works about flowers and love of children. Dickinson

sent her iconoclastic verse to a critic who advised her “not to publish.” So her line about her inability to dance — “no man instructed me” — bristles with sarcasm and rage. “She doesn’t use ‘man’ by happenstance,” Nixon observes. “It was men who controlled who was

published … and who was not.”

Then there’s the show about the American poet Edward Hirsch’s “Fast Break” — about the basketball move. Reading lines like “a hook shot kisses the rim and hangs there, helplessly, but doesn’t drop,” Shaq adds that basketball is “a game of motion, grace, physicality.”

In one sequence, the words of “Fast Break” are superimposed on a pickup basketball game. The phrase “poetry in motion” is stunningly alive.

Join David Major, retired FBI agent and former Director of Counterintelligence, Intelligence and Security Programs, for a briefing on the latest intelligence and security issues, breaches, and penetrations.

Presented in partnership with The Centre for Counterintelligence and Security Studies, these updates will cover worldwide events such as breaking espionage cases, cyber espionage incidents, and terrorist activity.

Join us this evening, as historian/curator Dr. Vince Houghton sits down with COL Christopher P. Costa (US Army, ret), the new Executive Director of the Spy Museum for an informal get-to- know-you. He’ll share what he can from an intense career in intelligence that landed him in the Commando Hall of Honor.

Learn how to conduct surveillance from the former FBI operative, Eric O’Neill, who was tasked with spying on his own boss, Robert Hanssen. In this small group workshop, you’ll snap clandestine pics, track the “rabbit” and blend into the shadows like a real spy.

As editors of Spy Chiefs: Volume 1, Dr. Christopher Moran, an associate professor at the University of Warwick, and Dr. Mark Stout, a program director at Johns Hopkins University, will reveal some of the most intriguing tales of these shadowy figures such as William Donovan and John Grombach, who ran an intelligence organization so secret that not even President Truman knew of it.

“Getting older means identifying with Judy Greer in every rom com.” @SVERSHBOW, tweeting about Judy

Greer, who has played the role of the quirky friend in many romantic comedies, such as “13 Going on 30,” above, and “27 Dresses.” The tweet gave @kaytaylorrea an idea for Greer to get her due: “What I wouldn’t give for a rom com starring Judy Greer with a circle of best friends played by the stars of all the rom coms she’s been in.”

“Anytime I tried biting into my Reese’s Pieces ...

I felt like I was risking the safety of the theater.”

“But peanut butter and pickle on a cracker is my favorite snack! [But] a whole sandwich? Yeah, maybe not!”

@NATHANZED, sharing a popular reaction after seeing “The

Quiet Place.” In the horror film, the characters are hunted if they are heard; the quiet movie has been unnerving to viewers. “The scariest thing to me about A QUIET PLACE is how loud the popcorn eating is going to be in the theater while everyone on screen is being quiet,” @DougBenson tweeted.

@AUDREYFSISSON, tweeting about a curious suggestion from The New York Times’ food section: a peanut butter and pickle sandwich. The “recipe” sparked some heated debate. “Please put this behind a paywall,” @broazay tweeted. “I grew up eating them. Dill pickles only,” @stackingboxes shared.

“Thank u Tony Robbins for the revelation that every time I’ve never gotten a job it’s because I was TOO PRETTY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I’ve never felt so alive.” @SARASCHAEFER1, tweeting after motivational speaker Tony Robbins confronted a woman about the #MeToo movement, saying, among other things, that men are less likely to hire beautiful women in this cultural moment.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) You have never felt bad about changing your mind about something; today you may actually change it back again for just that reason.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You know what is possible, but you cannot do it until you have convinced others that it is not only possible but potentially quite profitable.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You’ll have a chance to reorganize things in such a way that everything is much clearer to you.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) It’s time to stop the fun and games and get down to work. Others are waiting for the results that only you can produce.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You find yourself embroiled in a tricky financial situation before nightfall — but you can take comfort in the fact that it was not of your making.

FRIDAY’S SOLUTION

FRIDAY’S SOLUTION

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Once more you find yourself missing something that you feel you desperately need — but in fact you can do everything necessary without it.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You can apply new methods to an endeavor that hasn’t been progressing of late.

The results surprise you.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You are likely to have more at your disposal today than you had anticipated, which means you can get more done.

TODAY: Some scattered light snow showers are possible through the morning, again with no accumulation expected. There is a chance of a few light rain showers during the afternoon.

Temperatures remain well below normal. A rain shower or two might linger in the evening, with just cloudy skies overnight.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You are having trouble with an endeavor because there is a disconnect between you and a key teammate.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You may not understand what another is trying to tell you at first, but if you prevent yourself from getting frustrated, all will be well.

Carrie Underwood posted two photos of herself this weekend on Instagram, the first images of her face she shared since revealing she received 40 to 50 stitches in her face after an accident last year. She appeared to be in a recording studio in one, and in the other was rehearsing with her band. (EXPRESS)

Next week’s guest getting nervous

Lorde apologized Friday for an Instagram post fans deemed insensitive. The previous day, the singer had posted a photo of her bathtub, captioning it with lyrics to “I Will Always Love You.” Users noted that Whitney Houston, the song’s singer, drowned in a bathtub in 2012. “I’m so sorry for offending anyone — I hadn’t even put this together.

I was just excited to take a bath,” Lorde wrote on Instagram after deleting the post.

Rapper Cardi B revealed during her performance on “Saturday Night Live” this weekend that she’s pregnant by wearing a fitted white dress that showed her baby bump.

It’s been long speculated that Cardi was expecting a child with her fiance, rapper Offset. In a video posted after the performance, Cardi greets her team in the halls of “SNL,” shouting, “I’m finally free!” Cardi elaborated on the secret in a later-deleted Instagram story, writing, “People be so thirsty to scrutinize and try to destroy something that [is supposed to] be a blessing.” (AP/EXPRESS)
