A party, and a call to action THE DISTRICT For a moment, things weren’t exactly going to plan at the main stage of the Funk Parade music festival. Rain was in the forecast. And because of glitches with some speakers, the live musical performances were delayed. But on Saturday afternoon, none of that stopped the crowd from dancing. The granite-paved plaza by the U Street Metro station became the center of attention, and a dance circle formed as “Give Up the Funk” blasted from a speaker on the ground. “That’s funk,” said Jennifer Queen, one of the event’s hosts. “It’s about going with the flow of things.” This year, the spirit of the Funk Parade — an annual festival meant to celebrate the rich history of live music and arts in Washington’s U Street neighborhood — felt more urgent than ever. The sixth annual parade came after an electronics store in Shaw, known and beloved for blasting go-go beats from its

After #DontMuteDC, this year’s Funk Parade took on a new urgency

A dance circle broke out during the sixth annual Funk Parade on Saturday.

storefront, was forced to briefly silence its music after a resident of a nearby luxury apartment complex complained. The tunes returned after days of protests. But the controversy prompted a much larger movement — to preserve not only go-go music, but the broader culture of the city in the face of gentrification. For many of the people who showed up to dance and sing and march Saturday, the day was not only a party but a call to action.

“It’s about taking a stand in the musical tradition of the city. It’s about saying we’re here, and we’re not going to go anywhere.” JENNIFER QUEEN, a host of the Funk Parade, which celebrates the musical history of U Street

For the first time, this year’s Funk Parade festivities included a conference propelling forward the movement dubbed #DontMuteDC. In the morning, local activists and musicians gathered at the U Street Music Hall to talk about next steps. “We’d be naive to think that music is the only thing that matters,” said Jeffery Tribble Jr., executive director of The MusicianShip, a D.C. nonprofit that took charge of Funk Parade this year. “It’s also about gentrification, it’s housing, it’s culture.” Later in the afternoon, the focus was less on the recent controversies and more on celebration. James Sutton Jr. watched the dancing alongside his wife and four children, reminiscing on the neighborhood he grew up in. Before Sutton, 69, moved out to Frederick, Md., he lived in the U Street area for about four decades, he said. He came out with his family to show his children the culture of his childhood, the funk and go-go music that was in his blood. “The core culture is still here. Go-go is still here. The dancing is still here,” he said. “People still make noise.” SAMANTHA SCHMIDT (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Trump hijacks July 4

expressline

President Trump has renamed the Fourth of July celebrations “A Salute to America,” and has plans to address the nation from the Lincoln Memorial.

MLADEN ANTONOV (AFP/GETTY IMAGES)

WASHINGTON President Trump has effectively taken charge of the nation’s premier Fourth of July celebration in Washington, moving the gargantuan fireworks display from its usual spot on the Mall to be closer to the Potomac River and making tentative plans to address the nation from the steps of the Lincoln Memorial, according to top administration officials. The president’s starring role has the potential to turn what has long been a nonpartisan celebration of the nation’s founding into another version of a Trump campaign rally. Officials said it is unclear how much the changes may cost, but the plans have already raised alarms among city officials and some lawmakers about the potential impact of such major alterations to a time-honored and well-organized summer tradition. The annual event on the Mall, which the National Park Service has orchestrated for more than half a century, draws hundreds of thousands of Americans and marks one of the highlights of the city’s tourist season. The fireworks have been broadcast live on television since 1947 and since 1981 have been accompanied by a free concert on the West Lawn of the U.S. Capitol featuring high-profile musicians and a performance by the National Symphony Orchestra. The new event, to be called “A Salute to America,” will shift the fireworks launch to West Potomac Park, less than a mile southwest of its usual location near the Washington Monument. In addition to a possible address by Trump, the location may feature a second stage of entertainment apart from the performers at the Capitol, officials said. The revised Independence Day celebration is the culmination of

JABIN BOTSFORD (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Potential changes to longtime Mall event include a speech, new fireworks location

Fireworks on the Mall have been organized by the National Park Service for decades. Trump will move the fireworks to West Potomac Park this year.

two years of attempts by Trump to create a major patriotic event centered on him and his supporters, including failed efforts to mount a military parade modeled on Bastille Day in France. The new event has become a top priority for Interior Secretary David Bernhardt, whom Trump tasked with the job three months ago, officials said. Trump has shown greater interest in the event than in some other administration priorities,

Who’ll pay for changes? It is unclear whether the changes to the Fourth of July celebration on the Mall will increase costs for taxpayers. Launching the fireworks last year cost roughly $250,000, a figure that does not include the cost of security, portable toilets and fencing. One D.C. official said the city would expect the federal government to pay for any new costs incurred by changes to the celebration. (TWP)

Arrests follows mini crime wave in Northwest D.C. involving 2 armed robberies, 2 car thefts

administration aides said. “I think the president is excited about the idea, and we’re working hard on it, and I think it could be very, very meaningful,” Bernhardt said. In justifying Trump’s changes, Interior officials argued that moving the fireworks launch site from the north and south sides of the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool — where it has been located for at least 18 years — to West Potomac Park will allow for more visitors. But Rep. Betty McCollum, D-Minn., who chairs the House Subcommittee on Interior, Environment and Related Agencies, said she is concerned that Trump could polarize what is typically a unifying event for Americans. “It’s not about any one person, it’s about ‘We, the people,’ ” she said. “And if the president moves to make this about him, I think he will find the American public disappointed and angered by it.” No president has participated in a Fourth of July celebration on the Mall in recent memory, usually celebrating instead at the White House. An official in the administration of D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser, D, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to candidly discuss preparations for the event, said the city was worried about moving the fireworks and the logistics of the president traveling to the Mall to address the crowds, which could cut off the flow of visitors to and from nearby Metro stations. “We have a lot of people come to the Fourth of July. Logistically, over the years, the kinks have been worked out,” the official said. “We don’t want to throw off what already works.” JOSH DAWSEY, JULIET EILPERIN AND PETER JAMISON (THE WASHINGTON POST)

THE DISTRICT Author Natasha Tynes has ignited a firestorm on social media, where she criticized a black Metro employee for eating on the train and reported the woman to transit officials. Tynes, a Jordanian American writer and World Bank employee in Washington, tweeted a photo Friday, showing the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority employee in uniform, eating on the Red Line. Tynes tagged the WMATA account, reporting that when she confronted the woman for breaking Metro rules, the woman replied, “Worry about yourself.” “When you’re on your morning commute & see @wmata employee in UNIFORM eating on the train,” Tynes tweeted. “I thought we were not allowed to eat on the train. This is unacceptable. Hope @wmata responds.” Metro rules ban eating, drinking, smoking and littering on buses or trains and in stations. But it’s common to see riders violating the drinking rule. In response to Tynes’ tweet, transit officials asked her for more information and thanked her “for catching this and helping us make sure all Metro employees are held accountable.” Tynes

Author loses book deal after Twitter-shaming black WMATA worker

An employee of the World Bank tweeted a photo on Friday of a black female WMATA employee eating on a train in violation of Metro’s rules.

then provided further details, including the time, the train the employee was traveling on and the direction that it was headed. The backlash was swift on Twitter, where people have been calling out the self-described “minority writer” for publicly shaming a black woman and trying to get her into trouble. Tynes apologized, saying she was “truly sorry” for the tweet, and later deleted her Twitter. But in response, Rare Birds Books, a publishing house that was set to distribute Tynes’ forthcoming novel, “They Called Me Wyatt,” said it has decided not to do so. Barry Hobson, the chief of staff for the Metro workers union, said in a statement that the Metro employee was taking her meal break while in transit from one

assignment to another. The statement notes operators have about 20 minutes to consume a meal and get to their next assignment. Though the union acknowledged it is against Metro rules to eat on a train or in a station, Hobson’s statement also referenced an email from Metro Transit Police Chief Ron Pavlik sent May 8, ordering officers to cease and desist from issuing criminal citations for fare evasion and eating and drinking, among other actions. “Understanding this email, our operator clearly was doing no wrong,” the union statement said. Hobson said Sunday that the case is still under investigation and the union “will not support any discipline.” LINDSEY BEVER (THE WASHINGTON POST)

The possibility that Trump’s resolve could be tested has increased in recent days. In Asia, progress in talks with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un showed signs of backsliding, as the U.S. seized a North Korean vessel allegedly used for evading sanctions and suspended efforts to recover remains of U.S. military personnel killed during the Korean War.

nuclear proliferation in one of the most unstable parts of the world. Against the backdrop of confrontations with North Korea, Venezuela and Iran, Trump has also been applying economic pressure to China, most recently hiking U.S. tariffs on $200 billion in Chinese goods. “The one source of some comfort is that Trump does seem to be risk-averse when it comes to military action, and I’m sure the U.S. military are reinforcing him in that regard,” Dobbins said. “The more dangerous of these situations in the short to medium term is probably the Chinese one, since that’s an area where he has been less risk-averse.” PAUL SONNE AND JOHN HUDSON (THE WASHINGTON POST)

POLITICS President Trump ran for office vowing to extricate the United States from entanglements abroad. But his administration now finds itself juggling three national security crises overseas — with Iran, Venezuela and North Korea — while confronting China over a possible trade war. The situation is partly a function of uncontrollable events but also the result of Trump’s “go big or go home” approach to foreign affairs, which has led his administration to apply “maximum pressure” to multiple nations simultaneously, rather than prioritize one over the other or take incremental steps. “The president’s apparent tendency to brinkmanship brings with it a degree of danger — and it’s even more dangerous when it’s combined with a pattern of bluffing,” said James Dobbins, a former top diplomat. Strategy experts cite the risk of overextending U.S. rhetoric in conflicts with possible military outcomes if the president isn’t willing to back words with actions. “It’s kind of like the not terribly capable bully, who likes pushing people around and teasing them, but when push comes to shove, is nervous to actually get into a bar fight,” said Mara Karlin, a former Pentagon strategist during the Obama administration. But a senior administration

CUBA

Cuba said Friday that it will ration chicken, eggs, rice, beans and other staples because of an economic crisis. Commerce Minister Betsy Díaz Velázquez blamed the crisis on the hardening of the U.S. trade embargo by the White House. Economists give equal or greater blame to a drop in aid from Venezuela, where the collapse of the state-run oil company has led to a sharp cut in shipments of subsidized fuel that Cuba used for power and to earn currency.

Dems try to kick-start $19B plan for disaster aid The House on Friday passed a $19 billion disaster aid bill that would give long-sought relief to farmers and victims of hurricanes and floods, and rebuild military bases, as Democrats try to dislodge the legislation from a Senate logjam over aid to Puerto Rico. The bill passed 257-150 over the opposition of most Republicans, who said it should also include the administration’s $4.5 billion request for more humanitarian aid and law enforcement along the U.S.-Mexico border.

Cops raid journalist’s home in probe of leaked report

The United Arab Emirates said Sunday that four commercial ships off its eastern coast “were subjected to sabotage operations,” just hours after Iranian and Lebanese media outlets aired false reports of explosions at a nearby Emirati port. Emirati officials declined to elaborate on the nature of the sabotage or say who might have been responsible. The statement from the UAE’s Foreign Ministry put the ships near the country’s territorial waters in the Gulf of Oman, east of the port of Fujairah. It said it was investigating the incident and there were “no injuries or fatalities on board the vessels.” (AP)

Authorities say gunmen attacked a Catholic church in Burkina Faso, killing a priest and five worshippers. The attack Sunday took place in Dablo, about 124 miles from the capital, Ouagadougou. Urbain Kabore, a government spokesman for the West African country’s Sahel region, said the gunmen also set fire to a health center and destroyed all places serving alcohol. There was no immediate claim of responsibility, but the attacks bore the hallmarks of Islamic extremists who are known to be active in the area. An attack on a Protestant church about two weeks ago left six people dead. (AP)

U.S. sits out U.N. waste pact ‘Historic’ agreement aims to track, monitor movements of plastics ENVIRONMENT Nearly every country in the world has agreed upon a legally binding framework to reduce the pollution from plastic waste — except for the United States, U.N. environmental officials say. An agreement on tracking thousands of types of plastic waste emerged Friday at the end of a two-week meeting of U.N.-backed conventions on plastic waste and

toxic, hazardous chemicals. Discarded plastic clutters pristine land, floats in huge masses in oceans and rivers and entangles wildlife, sometimes with deadly results. Rolph Payet of the United Nations Environment Program said the agreement linked to the 186-country, U.N.-supported Basel Convention means that countries will have to monitor and track the movement of plastic waste outside their borders. The framework “is historic in the sense that it is legally binding,” Payet said.

The deal affects products used in a broad array of industries, such as health care, technology, aerospace, fashion, food and beverages. Countries will have to figure out their own ways of adhering to the accord, Payet said. Even the few countries that did not sign it, like the U.S., could be affected by the accord when they ship plastic waste to countries that are on board with the deal. “There is going to be a transparent and traceable system for the export and import of plastic waste,” Payet said.

BOB ANDRES (ATLANTA JOURNAL-CONSTITUTION VIA AP)

‘Huge’ wins for pro-life movement Abortion rights under attack in the South and Midwest as ‘heartbeat’ bans advance POLITICS If a new Mississippi law survives a court challenge, it will be nearly impossible for most pregnant women to get an abortion there. Or, potentially, in neighboring Louisiana. Or Alabama. Or Georgia. The Louisiana legislature is halfway to passing a law — like those enacted in Mississippi and Georgia — that will ban abortions after a fetal heartbeat is detected, about six weeks into a pregnancy and before many women know they’re pregnant. Alabama is on the cusp of approving an even more restrictive bill. State governments are on a course to virtually eliminate abortion access in large chunks of the Deep South and Midwest. Ohio and Kentucky also have passed heartbeat laws; Missouri’s Republican-controlled legislature is considering one. Their hope is that a more conservative U.S. Supreme Court will approve, spelling the end of the constitutional right to abortion. “For pro-life folks, these are huge victories,” said Sue Liebel, state director for the Susan B. Anthony List, an anti-abortion advocacy group. “And I think they’re indicative of the momentum and excitement and the hope that’s happening with changes in the Supreme Court and having such a pro-life president.” For abortion rights supporters,

the trend is ominous. “I think it’s certainly more dire than it ever has been. They smell blood and that’s why they’re doing this,” said Diane Derzis, owner of Mississippi’s sole abortion clinic, the Jackson Women’s Health Organization. Already, Mississippi mandates a 24-hour wait between in-person consultations. That means women must make at least two trips to her clinic, often traveling long distances. Other states have passed similar incremental laws restricting abortion in recent years. Besides Mississippi, five other states have just one clinic: Kentucky, Missouri, North and South Dakota, and West Virginia. But the latest efforts to bar the procedure represent the largest assault on abortion rights in decades. Lawmakers sponsoring the bans have made it clear their goal is to spark court challenges in hopes of ultimately overturning the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision legalizing abortion. Those challenges have begun. Derzis’ attorneys are scheduled to go before a judge on May 21, seeking to prevent Mississippi’s heartbeat law from taking effect July 1. A Kentucky judge blocked enforcement of the heartbeat ban after the American Civil Liberties Union filed suit on behalf of the clinic in Louisville. Si m i l a r le g a l ac t io n i s

Georgia’s Republican Gov. Brian Kemp, center, signs legislation last week in Atlanta to ban abortions once a fetal heartbeat can be detected.

expected before bans can take effect in Ohio and Georgia, where Republican Gov. Brian Kemp signed the latest heartbeat bill into law Tuesday. Georgia’s ban doesn’t take effect until Jan. 1. But the impact was immediate. An abortion clinic operated by The Women’s Centers in Atlanta began receiving anxious calls from patients soon after Kemp signed the law. Georgia’s heartbeat ban would have a wider impact because the state has 17 abortion clinics — more than the combined total in the other four Southern states that have passed

or are considering bans. “On a typical day, we will see people from North Carolina, Tennessee, Alabama, South Carolina,” said Dr. Lisa Haddad, the Atlanta clinic’s medical director. “And my thought is we’re not going to see those people coming here because they assume it’s already illegal in Georgia.” If heartbeat bans are upheld, many women who are poor and have limited means to travel would have few options other than to try to terminate their own pregnancies, Haddad said.

‘Public option’ insurance will debut in Wash. SEATTLE Washington is set to become the first state to enter the private health insurance market with a universally available public option. A set of tiered public plans will cover standard services and are expected to be up to 10% cheaper than comparable private insurance, thanks in part to savings from a cap on rates paid to providers. But unlike existing government-managed plans, Washington’s public plans are set to be available to all residents, regardless of income, by 2021. The Legislature approved the plan last month, and Gov. Jay Inslee is scheduled to sign it into law today. The move thrusts Washington into the national debate over the government’s role in health care, with a hybrid model that puts the state to the left of marketonly approaches but stops short of a completely public system. Instead, the state will dictate the terms of the public option plans but hire private insurance companies to administer them, saving the state from having to create a new bureaucracy — and guaranteeing a role for the insurance industry in managing the new public option. Lawmakers in at least eight other states including Colorado and New Mexico have proposed their own public option measures. But so far none have passed legislation implementing a public option.

Gruden vows to be patient with Haskins

open competition with veterans Case Keenum and Colt McCoy to win the starting job. “The mental part of it is the big thing,”coach Jay Gruden said. “Physically, he has all the tools, without a doubt.” Haskins impressed in the first two days of rookie minicamp. The Buckeyes ran an up-tempo, shotgun scheme, so Haskins must get familiar with taking snaps under center and calling plays from the huddle. The terminology is foreign and more complicated, going from four or five signals in college to 15-word calls in a scheme with West Coast tendencies. He must get the team lined up, organize protections, go through expanded progressions in the passing game and refine footwork. The team has given Haskins only about 20% of the playbook as it looks to take things slow. Gruden is preaching patience, but there’s a lot to master before

JOHN McDONNELL (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Quarterback impresses at rookie minicamp, but Redskins say they’re taking things slow REDSKINS Dwayne Haskins sports the features of a young man just nine days north of his 22nd birthday. The chubby cheeks of the selfproclaimed “mama’s boy” gives way to a shadow of a goatee. His words are soft, yet confident. The feel of revival that comes with a first-round QB has engulfed the Redskins’ organization as excitement swirls around what could be with the budding prospect. The Ohio State product played just 22 collegiate games and only started one season, though it was a phenomenal campaign in which he was named Big Ten offensive player of the year after leading the nation in passing yards and touchdown passes. Of the 16 quarterbacks selected in the first round since 2015, Haskins played the fewest games in college. The Redskins hope their new quarterback is a fast learner because the No. 15 pick will have an

the Redskins open their season Sept. 8 in Philadelphia. And there’s no time for a slow start with the Eagles, Cowboys, Bears, Giants and Patriots in the first five weeks. Even if Haskins picks things up quickly, Gruden could decide that facing four 2018 playoff teams in the first five weeks is too much for the rookie. “When we drafted this kid we didn’t say, ‘Hey, we’re sticking you right in there,’” said Doug Williams, vice president of player personnel. “That’s not something we do. We’re going to have patience with him.” At Redskins Park, the 6-foot-3,

231-pound quarterback has shown off the big arm and the accuracy that led to 4,831 passing yards, 50 touchdowns and a 70.0 completion percentage, although he had the expected inconsistency from a rookie. The work between the ears will likely determine where he lands on the depth chart. Haskins plans to make up ground with a dedication to film study, something he took pride in at Ohio State. “I just don’t like defenses,” Haskins added, “so I want to be able to be the most prepared to rip them apart.” KAREEM COPELAND (THE WASHINGTON POST)

four points in the first six games of the series, added 14 points, including 10 in the fourth quarter. The Trail Blazers advanced to face the two-time defending NBA champion Warriors, beginning Tuesday night in Oakland, Calif.

The Nuggets raced to a 17-point lead in the first half and took a 48-39 halftime lead after throttling Lillard, who made just one of nine shots and missed all four of his 3-pointers after going off for 32 points in Portland’s Game 6 victory. Portland’s Rodney Hood, whom Nuggets coach Michael Malone said he was most worried about heading into Game 7, injured his left knee in the third quarter and left the game. (AP)

I don’t mean to rub it in, it is what it is, they didn’t deserve to lose,” City captain Vincent Kompany said.

Mexican wrestler dies in the ring during a match

Parra breaks up no-hit bid with double in 8th off Ryu

A well-known Mexican wrestler who co-starred in the comedy “Nacho Libre” died of a suspected heart attack after collapsing on stage in London. Cesar Cuauhtemoc Gonzalez Barron, the lucha libre star known as Silver King, performed Saturday night at The Roundhouse. The venue said Sunday that he died during the event. The 51-year-old Gonzalez appeared as a champion wrestler and comic villain in the 2006 movie “Nacho Libre,” starring Jack Black. Lucha libre is a popular form of wrestling in Mexico that features colorful masks and acrobatic techniques. (AP)

Dodgers left-hander Hyun-Jin Ryu took a no-hit bid into the eighth inning and the Nationals managed just one hit in a 6-0 loss Sunday as the teams split their four-game series in Los Angeles. Gerardo Parra broke up the no-hitter when he drove Ryu’s 105th pitch to deep left-center and it bounced over the fence for a ground-rule double. Ryu had struck out nine, and Washington’s only previous baserunner came with one out in the fourth when Brian Dozier walked. Washington (16-24) returns home to face the Mets on Tuesday after going 3-7 on its 10-game road trip. (AP/EXPRESS)

LIFE AFTER SERVICE

No rest for the weary For graduate students, summer break isn’t a time for slacking off GRADUATE PROGRAMS When you’re an undergraduate, summer break might mean lounging by the pool or working as a camp counselor. But when you’re a full-time graduate student, your summer is probably filled with more research and reaching out than rest and relaxation. Take Najma Mohamud, who’s finishing her first year of a master’s program in public policy at George Mason University. Over the summer, she plans to take two classes while hopefully also working at a full-time job or internship. “You have to think longer term,” says Mohamud, 23. “I’m trying to do the most with the time I’m given.” Mohamud has goals of working in politics after finishing her degree, so she’s ideally looking

for a summer position on Capitol Hill to help boost her résumé. “Especially in an area like D.C. that’s so competitive, it’s not only having your master’s degree,” she says. “Your experience really makes all the difference. You really have to show initiative and that you’re a go-getter.” For graduate students with ambitious career goals, summer isn’t a time for slacking off. A break from classes and teaching obligations provides time for internships, research projects and other résumé builders. Graduate students also can use the opportunity to work on job search strategies they might not have time for during the academic year, like building their network. “No matter what a student’s goals are, my advice is the same — connect, connect, connect,” says Shannon E. Williams, director of Ph.D. student services for the Schar School of Policy and Government at George Mason University. “There’s a pervasive

misconception that education is an individual sport. But the world of work, even research work, has really changed, and it’s increasingly the domain of collaboration. Students can’t just buckle down and study and come out on the other side ready for a career.” For graduate students interested in a professional career, those connections can be made through internships, conferences and networking events, as well as social media. “Go to LinkedIn and find

people from your undergraduate school in the space you want to be in,” says Eric Allen, founder and president of Admit Advantage, which offers application and career consulting for graduate students. “Then get on the phone with them or meet them for coffee. Build a network of people in the industry you want to get into.” For students interested in research or academia, connecting with faculty throughout the year can lead to impactful summer opportunities. “Show up for seminars, brown bag lunches and lectures outside of class,” Williams says. “The more that students show up and support faculty in these small ways, the more that the faculty is going to remember those students when the money comes through [for research projects].” Students also should be forging connections with their university’s career center. “It’s something that’s definitely far CONTINUED ON PAGE 18

Tips for vets going back to school When it comes to using federal education benefits, veterans need to have a plan. Unfortunately, some schools have been found to lie to vets because they want GI Bill benefits. How can you navigate this? MIKE SAUNDERS (FOR THE WASHINGTON POST)

Be skeptical If a school sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Beware of guarantees and promises about your likely job success and how little it will cost you.

Talk to employers Speak to professionals in the field you want to work in. They can give you insight into whether the school you’re considering will help you to work in the field after graduation. They can also alert you to whether a school recruiter’s job placement claims are realistic or not.

Get promises in writing If a school won’t put their promises in writing, then the promises are worthless. Some school recruiters are under pressure to get you to enroll, so they’re tempted to exaggerate or even lie in person. Make them put it in writing, and get a signed document about the cost.

underutilized,” Allen says. In addition to getting help with their résumés and interviewing skills, students who develop a relationship with career services staff often get more personalized career advice, because the staff knows their goals and objectives. “Once we understand what students’ individual circumstances and constraints are, we try to work with them to come up with opportunities for summer enrichment experiences,” says Gihan Fernando, executive director of the career center at American University. “If a student’s goal is to gain advancement in their current field of employment, that might be a very different scenario than someone who is

gaining their master’s degree with a goal of joining a professional field but has little experience already in that field.” In addition to providing fieldspecific knowledge, summer internships and work experiences can also help graduate students beef up general skills, like project management, and provide real-world insight on what they want — and don’t want — in their careers. “It’s more broadly an opportunity to understand, say, what working in the nonprofit sector might be like,” says Dana Williams, interim dean of the graduate school at Howard University. “Meeting people who work outside of the space where students are studying and having those people share experiences with them is a helpful thing.”

“Students can go deeper and have that time to reflect on what has happened in that year and about what they’re wanting to do in the future.” KAREN P. DEPAUW, vice president and dean for graduate education at Virginia Tech

Summer is also a good point for students to review the past year and think about their next steps. “I think it’s a great time to find a few extra moments for

International Studies (SAIS) develops leaders who seek a deeper understanding of how politics, economics, and international

reflecting,” says Karen P. DePauw, vice president and dean for graduate education at Virginia Tech, which offers graduate programs at two locations in Northern Virginia. “Students can go deeper and have that time to reflect on what has happened in that year and about what they’re wanting to do in the future.” She also recommends that students slow down from the busy pace of the school year. “You should not be surviving graduate school; you should be thriving in graduate school,” DePauw says. “You’ve got to take a break.” But that can be easier said than done. “People make sacrifices in their personal lives in order to pursue this higher level of education,” says Chantal Smith, 45, who’s three years into a Ph.D. in economics at Howard

University. “It’s difficult to take the time, because you want to finish your degree and get back to your regular life. But you do have to take that time to push the reset button, or you will quickly get overwhelmed.” It’s good practice for creating a work-life balance once students begin their careers. And those careers won’t result from just taking classes alone, which is why making the most of the summer is so important. “There’s still this misconception that if I just get this degree I’m going to be ready for a new job when I come out, and I wish it were that easy — but it’s not,” says George Mason’s Williams. “It’s really about the people who get out there and shake the hands and get known by people in the field.” BETH LUBERECKI (FOR EXPRESS)

LISA BOGGS PHOTOGRAPHY

Lisa Boggs works about 15 weddings a year, taking thousands of photos for each one.

Giving a lens onto that special day Name: Lisa Boggs, 36 Position: Wedding photographer

What she does When a couple vows “in sickness and in health,” wedding photographer Lisa Boggs issues her own promise: in good weather and in bad. Even the extremely bad. When Hurricane Irene hit in 2011, Boggs was adamant that a couple saying “I do” in the downpours and wind gusts would still emerge with the photos they’d been counting on for more than a year. She secured umbrellas, rain boots and rain jackets that matched their wedding colors — white, pink and navy — and captured striking shots against

a stormy sky. “It’s still one of my favorite weddings because we just ran with it,” says Boggs, who’s been in the business for more than a decade. “We went out into the rain and I got soaking wet, but we were still able to get the photos they had envisioned. You have to adapt and make sure you’re still having fun with it, even when challenges come your way.” Couples typically enlist Boggs’ services about a year in advance of their wedding, often booking her for engagement photos, too. That first photo shoot is like a get-to-know-you date, she says: It offers the future spouses a preview of what their wedding

“You have to adapt and make sure you’re still having fun with it, even when challenges come your way.” LISA BOGGS, on her keys to success as a wedding photographer

photos might look like. “I try to keep things natural, but of course you do put couples in poses, and they can see them and say, ‘Oh, this is not my good side,’ or, ‘I love this particular

kind of photo, let’s do that again,’” she says. “It’s like an open conversation — I want them to be comfortable, and I want to be able to show them the photos I’m taking and make sure they feel great.” Boggs photographs about 15 weddings a year, down from 30 in her early years. Now, she says, her goal is to allow ample time to get to know each couple and incorporate their story into their photos. She loves highlighting what makes a couple unique — like the groom who worked for the Washington Nationals, where he met his bride-to-be, who was an intern for the team. They had engagement photos taken at the park. Another couple showcased their love of travel by having their photos taken at Reagan National Airport, grinning at each other in National Hall. Pets are also highly encouraged. Boggs offers a variety of packages based on time spent, and clients can decide how they want to spread out her hours — focusing on getting-ready shots versus a

sparkler send-off, for example, or deciding they can’t miss a thing and booking her for the entire ceremony and reception. About a month before the wedding, she does a walk-through with the couple and other wedding vendors, and everyone involved reviews the timeline. Boggs closely examines the venue, noting places she thinks would be ideal for photographs and gauging whether the couple likes them. Once the big day arrives, she takes thousands of photos; when she gets home, she begins uploading, noting that she’s a “multiple backup person.” She sends a few immediate favorites to the couple and, with their permission, posts a sneak peek on social media — online promotion has become a big part of the job. She then culls down to the number of photos in the coupe’s package, editing with Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop, and ultimately delivers the images eight to 12 weeks post-wedding.

How she got the job Boggs studied the fine arts — mostly photography, painting and drawing — at Belmont University in Nashville, Tenn. In 2006, a family member happened to be assisting a wedding studio in Leesburg, Va., and approached Boggs with a proposal. “She said, ‘It’s really fun and interesting, and I think it’s something we could do,’ ” Boggs recalls. The two started photographing together, and Boggs was smitten. “It hadn’t even been on my radar at all, but I loved it so much,” she says. So she stuck with it and launched her own company: Lisa Boggs Photography. LISA BOGGS PHOTOGRAPHY

LISA BOGGS, on the appeal of a career in wedding photography

Who would want this job Are you artsy and creative, with a good eye for photographs? If so, it might be a match. Being able to skillfully interact with a lot of (potentially stressed-out) people will also be helpful; the

Photographer Lisa Boggs has captured couples in a slew of settings and poses. “Most of the time I’m smiling behind the camera,” Boggs says.

same goes for flexibility and attention to detail. Be aware that wedding photography can take a physical toll on your body: Boggs carries two heavy cameras and a slew of gear on her shoulders, so she recommends keeping the upper body in shape. Note, too, that you’ll spend a lot of time alone in an office editing photos and communicating with clients. Boggs balances the lack of a traditional office with

frequent networking, which she makes a priority.

How you can get the job Studying the fine arts (with an emphasis on photography) can be helpful, but it’s not the only path to the alter — er, success. Boggs recommends reaching out to wedding photographers whose work you admire, and offering to buy them lunch or coffee. Pick that person’s brain, and ask if you can assist him or her at an upcoming wedding. That will help you start building a portfolio, which you can use to book your own small gigs. If you enjoy the work, you’re in for a blissful ride. “It’s really hard not to get swept up in the romance and happiness. I feed off the energy of a wedding day, and it inspires me,” Boggs says. “Most of the time I’m smiling behind my camera because it’s so much fun, and I feel really lucky that these people trust me with really special, intimate moments of their life.” ANGELA HAUPT (FOR EXPRESS)

MUST-SEE THIS WEEK

1 ‘Fleabag’

NETFLIX

Friday on Amazon Prime

Netflix’s “Wine Country” stars real-life friends, from left, Paula Pell, Rachel Dratch, Maya Rudolph, Ana Gasteyer, Emily Spivey and Amy Poehler.

Finely aged friendships The cast of ‘Wine Country’ embraced the film as a celebration of long-lasting bonds Q&A “We’ve had like 20 years of rehearsals,” Amy Poehler explains by phone. She’s surrounded by her longtime friends, including Rachel Dratch, Maya Rudolph, Ana Gasteyer and Paula Pell. The “Saturday Night Live” alumni are comedic powerhouses who form a crew so tight that they can finish each other’s sentences as they chat about starring in “Wine Country,” which was released Friday on Netflix. The film follows a group of middle-aged friends traveling to Napa Valley to celebrate the 50th birthday of Rebecca (Dratch). But it found real-life inspiration in the actual vacations Poehler and her friends take. It’s an easygoing comedy, but Poehler’s directorial debut also taps into the inner lives of grown women

and long-lasting friendships — themes that Hollywood, in its obsession with younger audiences, has given little attention. Amy, what do you wish the world knew about being a woman in her 40s and 50s that you just don’t see represented in pop culture? Amy Poehler: Everybody’s experience is very personal and different. … But one thing that is just unmined territory is long friendships that go deep and the way that women of a certain age interact with each other, because I think sometimes we don’t show enough how we are each other’s kind of chosen family and also how we challenge each other, too. Maya Rudolph: I think about the choice that we’ve made to be a family, in some way. I think about what we’ve learned together as a group. I think about the way

in which everyone has naturally folded into these roles, where this idea that humans are meant to live in villages, and we live in a time and in a world where most of us don’t live in a small village. And yet we can have the choice to create our own, and the choice that we made to create these women and these women in this story who have all of these facets going on in their lives. Everyone’s got their story to tell. Working on this film set, how did it compare to other experiences you’ve all had in your careers? Rachel Dratch: We’ve worked together for so long at “SNL” and we kind of know each other’s comedy language, but then we’re also always surprised and delighted by the stuff that each other does. It’s like a combo of fun and new surprises, but also knowing you can rely on every single person in the cast to play with [you] and have your back. Ana Gasteyer: You never really

know what you’re getting in other projects. You’re being thrown into a room with someone who was cast by somebody else. This is obviously a community that inherently trusts each other, so you’re not working extra hard to manufacture chemistry. How will the experience of making this film shape how you approach future projects? Paula Pell: I think we all said that we would love to always work with friends. There’s something beautiful about that. Dratch: Over the years we’ve gotten to work together, like on “Parks and Rec” or “30 Rock,” so this was another level of that because we’re all together and we were on this beautiful location. But Amy, if I may say, did a great job at directing, so I believe she has more directing ahead. Pell: And if all of us aren’t in it every time, I’m going to break something. EL AHE IZADI

It sounds like another lame TV idea — a 21st-century version of the 1960s sitcom “Green Acres,” in which a New York couple decamps from Park Avenue to Hooterville. The update is “Bless This Mess” (9:30 p.m. Tuesdays on ABC), starring Dax Shepard and Lake Bell. The first season wraps up May 21, and ABC just

renewed the show for Season 2. The Manhattanites are moderately obnoxious newlyweds — Shepard is Mike, an earnestly hipster music journalist with family roots in Nebraska; Bell is Rio, an overbearingly earnest therapist. (She also is the co-creator of the show, with “New Girl” mastermind Elizabeth Meriwether.) When Mike inherits a farm in his ancestral homeland, the couple heads out to become a favorite sitcom

stereotype: fish out of water. Despite its cliches about clueless urbanites and wise ruralites, “Bless This Mess” pulls off absurd-yet-warmhearted comedy. Episode 3 is a

Ed Begley Jr. is scruffy neighbor Rudy, who expresses his crush on sheriff/ general store owner Constance (Pam Grier) by making a daily trip to her store to buy a single piece of red licorice. And sharp-tongued Susie Essman plays Rio’s mother. When all of these pieces come together, the result is a blessedly funny mess. Read Marc’s previous columns at washingtonpost.com/muse

trending “Please stop feeding the narrative that women are providers and men are consumers of sex.” @EMRAZZ, criticizing actress Alyssa Milano’s call for women to go on

a sex strike to protest states passing strict abortion laws. Last week, Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp signed a bill to ban abortions after a heartbeat is detected, about six weeks into pregnancy. Though Milano’s tweet to refrain from sex “until we get bodily autonomy back” seemed to have good intentions, it was slammed for excluding the LGBT community and perpetuating the idea that women use sex as a favor to men.

“My jaw is on the floor.” @THEANNALYTICAL, tweeting about YouTuber Tati Westbrook, left, on Friday publicly ending her friendship with James Charles, right, in a 43-minute video. Westbrook cited Charles’ rude behavior toward fellow influencers and alleged lies he told about Westbrook, his former mentor, as the reason for the split. The video, testimonials from other YouTubers supporting Westbrook’s claims, and Charles’ own public controversies caused him to lose millions of followers. He posted an apology later that day, though many doubted its sincerity.
