The “Colacho” (a man representing the devil) jumps over babies Sunday during “El Salto del Colacho,” a festival in the village of Castrillo de Murcia, Spain. The festival’s roots date back to 1620. It is intended to ward off evil.

Ah, spring. Flowers, gentle rains, raucous sounds of peacock sex.

Crawfish re-enacts ‘127 Hours’ with similarly fortunate outcome

Who’s going to argue with a gator over his opinions on decor?

Residents of Surrey, British Columbia, are again facing their worst nightmare: peacock mating season. CTV reported Sunday that locals have for years dreaded the damage caused by the feral birds, which often mistake their own reflections in car windows for rivals and attack. The peacocks’ “loud shrieking” is another source of angst in the area, wrote CTV, which noted that the birds’ mating season extends from March to October. (EXPRESS)

A crawfish in China got a second chance at life after tearing off its own claw to escape a pot of boiling water, UPI reported Monday. A user named Juike on the popular Chinese microblogging site Weibo posted video of the crawfish climbing out of a hot pot, then severing the limb that was still trapped in the water. Juike, impressed by the creature’s will to live, wrote that he decided to keep it as a pet instead of cooking it. (EXPRESS)

A couple in Bradenton, Fla., discovered their patio furniture had been rearranged — by a large alligator, the Sarasota Herald-Tribune reported Sunday. Mary Charbonneau assumed her husband, Mike, had moved their outdoor furniture around, but Mike had been sleeping. Curious, he reviewed security camera footage — where he saw a glowing-eyed alligator with a bistro chair stuck on its head wandering their veranda. (EXPRESS)

Exhibit on the media titan opens Friday at the African American museum

JACQUELYN MARTIN (AP)

MUSEUMS She’s a powerful media executive and Hollywood jet-setter who transformed daytime television, launched literary careers and convened difficult conversations about race and gender.

But Oprah Winfrey also is an African-American activist whose contributions to American culture rank alongside those of Sojourner Truth and Ida B. Wells, according to a new exhibition at the National Museum of African American History and Culture.

Opening Friday and running through June 2019, “Watching Oprah: The Oprah Winfrey Show and American Culture� features video clips, movie costumes, and personal photographs and journals to explore what has influenced Winfrey and how her work has shaped America. “What’s interesting is the same way America thought about Walter Cronkite — you could trust Walter Cronkite and his opinion — they trust Oprah,� said museum director Lonnie G. Bunch III. “An African-American woman becomes the person

Oprah is the largest individual donor to the Smithsonian’s NMAAHC.

Winfrey donated $21 million to the $540 million museum, making her its largest individual benefactor (its theater is named in her honor). But her role as benefactor did not influence the exhibition, Bunch said.

The show balances Winfrey’s humble personal story with her achievements. “We’re providing a context for understanding not only who she is, but how she became a global figure, and how she is connected to broader stories and themes,�

curator Kathleen Kendrick said.

The first section of the show, which is in the special exhibitions gallery, explores Winfrey’s childhood and early career and how the cultural shifts of the 1950s and ’60s informed her worldview.

The middle section looks at the 25-year run of the “Oprah Winfrey Show.� And the third section looks at Winfrey’s role as cultural influencer in the movies she has made, the books she has promoted in her book club and her philanthropic work. PEGGY MCGLONE (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Arlington cemetery gets an extended life

BALTIMORE

Library system ends fines for overdue materials

The 27-acre expansion adds 30 years of use to the hallowed burial site DAYNA SMITH (FOR THE WASHINGTON POST)

ARLINGTON The 6,000 pre-dug graves, with their concrete crypts inches apart just under the surface, are ready. The 16,000 spaces in the new niche wall and columbaria are waiting. And the area has been decorated with new redbud, locust and magnolia trees.

In a few weeks, Arlington National Cemetery will host the first of an expected 27,000 funerals in its elegantly landscaped expansion, built into a hillside and designed to extend the cemetery’s life for more than 30 years.

The $81.7 million Millennium Project is the first geographic expansion of the cemetery in four decades.

And it was badly needed. Facing dwindling space and heavy use, the 154-year-old cemetery is desperately working to extend its life before the day when there is no room left.

Without the expansion, “we’d be planning to close in the mid2020s,” said Renea Yates, deputy superintendent for cemetery administration. “So this takes us out to the 2040s.”

Still, under current rules and conditions, the cemetery’s life span appears limited. “Most veterans from the recent wars in Iraq, Afghanistan and the war on

terror will not have the option to be buried” at Arlington, the cemetery wrote in a report last year.

The expansion involved the movement of huge amounts of earth, 1,200 feet of a historic sandstone wall, and the construction of extensive granite and concrete committal shelters and walkways.

There are cedar ceilings in the shelters, stainless steel step railings and decorative stone gardens.

The 27 new acres in the northwestern part of the cemetery were carved out of a recreation spot for an adjacent military base, a construction staging area for the cemetery and National Park Service woodland.

“You’re talking about hundreds of thousands of cubic yards removed from the site,”

105K

Army Col. Mike Peloquin, the cemetery’s director of engineering, said in a recent interview.

With the expansion, Arlington has about 100,000 spaces left, Yates said.

The cemetery is planning for an additional 37-acre addition called the “Southern Expansion,” where the old Navy Annex building was before it was demolished in 2013. Peloquin said the cemetery would like to have that $274 million project completed by 2025.

That would extend the cemetery’s life to the mid-2050s, Yates said. But there is not much more room to grow. “We can’t expand out of our challenge,” she said. “We are surrounded” by t h e lo c a l c o m mu n it y.

Potomac rising to its highest levels in years Sunday’s was the latest in a long series of deluges to drench the region, with the sky dispensing rainfall amounts of 1 to 3 inches — and localized totals up to 3 to 5 inches.

In 23 days, D.C. received 10.43 inches of rain. The rainfall output over the past three weeks ranks second on record for the time of year. The massive volume of water flowing into the Potomac is now pushing it well above flood stage.

Gauges reported moderate to major flooding Monday, and levels were forecast to rise more — to their highest levels since March 2010. The river is expected to settle below flood stage

by Wednesday. But minor flooding is expected at high tides through today in Old Town Alexandria, where a coastal flood advisory is in effect. (TWP)

RESURGENCE OF BAY GRASSES

The estimated number of acres of underwater grasses in the Chesapeake Bay, the highest total in decades. The Daily Press quoted the Chesapeake Bay Program that is working to restore the area’s grasses as saying the milestone is evidence of water quality improvement. Surveys of bay and tributary portions in 2016 estimated nearly 98,000 acres of submerged aquatic vegetation.

Experts credit the record resurgence to the 2010 federal mandate that directed bay states to reduce nutrient pollution. (AP)

One defendant acquitted in Inauguration Day riots After a little more than a day of deliberations, a D.C. jury on Monday acquitted a man who had been accused of conspiring to riot during Donald Trump’s inauguration. Casey Webber, 29, of D.C. was found not guilty of all six charges he faced, including rioting and conspiracy. The jury continued to deliberate on charges against Webber’s three co-defendants: Seth Cadman, 27, Michael Basillas, 32, and Anthony Felice, 26. The trial is the second involving defendants charged in connection with protests Jan. 20, 2017, that turned destructive.

POLITICS Former President Bill Clinton says the #MeToo movement is overdue. Just don’t ask him about Monica Lewinsky.

In an interview with NBC’s “Today Show” released Monday, Clinton bristled at questions over whether he should have resigned 20 years ago because of his sexual relationship with the White House intern.

At the same time, Clinton claimed credit for empowering women in his orbit and disputed that he might owe Lewinsky a private apology, insisting his televised apology was adequate.

“I dealt with it 20 years ago, plus,” Clinton said. “And the American people, two-thirds of them stayed with me.”

He is promoting his new fictional thriller, “The President Is Missing,” with best-selling author James Patterson.

While Clinton said he supports the #MeToo movement, “I still have questions about some of the decisions” that have been made.

He said he doesn’t think President Trump has gotten a free pass, but that Trump’s alleged exploits haven’t received “the coverage you would expect.”

Trump has been accused by more than a dozen women of sexual misconduct and was caught on tape bragging about grabbing women’s crotches.

On fighting impeachment and not resigning, Clinton said: “I think I did the right thing. I defended the Constitution.”

Justices rule for Colo. baker

Jack Phillips refused a cake to a same-sex couple on religious grounds.

Mullins, complained to the Colorado commission in 2012 after they visited Phillips’ Masterpiece Cakeshop in suburban Denver and the baker quickly told them he would not create a cake for their wedding celebration.

Colorado law prohibits discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation, and the commission concluded that Phillips’ refusal violated the law, despite Phillips’ argument that he is opposed to same-sex marriage on religious grounds. Colorado state courts upheld the determination.

But when the justices heard arguments in December, Kennedy was plainly bothered by comments by a commission

JACQUELYN MARTIN (AP)

COURTS The Supreme Court ruled Monday for a Colorado baker who wouldn’t make a wedding cake for a same-sex couple in a limited decision that leaves open whether a business can invoke religious objections to refuse service to gay and lesbian people.

The justices’ decision turned on what was described as anti-religious bias by the Colorado Civil Rights Commission when it ruled against baker Jack Phillips. The justices voted 7-2 that the commission violated Phillips’ rights under the First Amendment.

The case had been eagerly anticipated as a potentially strong statement about the rights of LGBT people or the court’s first ruling carving out exceptions to an anti-discrimination law. In the end, the decision was modest enough to attract the votes of liberal and conservative justices.

Appeals in similar cases are pending, including one at the Supreme Court from a florist who didn’t want to provide flowers for a same-sex wedding.

The disputes, Justice Anthony Kennedy wrote, “must be resolved with tolerance, without undue disrespect to sincere religious beliefs, and without subjecting gay persons to indignities when they seek goods and services in an open market.”

member that the justice said disparaged religion. The commissioner seemed “neither tolerant nor respectful of Mr. Phillips’

religious beliefs,” Kennedy said.

That same sentiment coursed through his opinion on Monday.

“The commission’s hostility was inconsistent with the First Amendment’s guarantee that our laws be applied in a manner that is neutral toward religion,” he wrote.

Liberal justices Stephen Breyer and Elena Kagan joined the conservative justices in the outcome. Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Sonia Sotomayor dissented.

Kristen Waggoner, the Alliance Defending Freedom senior counsel who argued Phillips’ case, said the court was right to condemn the commission’s open antagonism toward Phillips’ religious beliefs about marriage.

Phillips was at his shop on Monday morning, where he was busy answering the phone and getting congratulations from his supporters in person.

The American Civil Liberties Union, which represented the couple in its legal fight, said it was pleased the court did not endorse a broad religion-based exemption from anti-discrimination laws.

“We read this decision as a reaffirmation of the court’s long-standing commitment to civil rights protections and the reality that the states have the power to protect everyone in America from discrimination, including lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people,” said James Esseks, director of the ACLU’s LGBT & HIV Project.

SCOTUS throws out immigrant abortion ruling COURTS The Supreme Court on Monday dismissed a lower court’s decision that allowed an undocumented immigrant teenager to obtain an abortion over the protests of the Trump administration.

The action, which came in an unsigned opinion without noted dissents, wipes out the lower court’s ruling as precedent.

The case centers on a Central American teenager who was being held in a governmentfunded shelter last fall. She had been seeking an abortion since learning, shortly after she crossed the border, that she was pregnant. But the administration said it would not “facilitate” abortions for undocumented minors in federal custody.

The order issued Monday directs the lower courts to dismiss as moot the teen’s individual claim seeking access to abortion services. The teen was able to terminate her pregnancy before the high court got involved. She has since turned 18 and is no longer in federal custody.

The teen’s attorneys said the ruling is narrow and does not affect the broader challenge to the government’s policy for pregnant teens in federal immigration custody that is pending in D.C. district court.

Moreover, a nationwide order preventing the government from blocking access to abortion services remains in effect. The administration has appealed the order. ROBERT BARNES AND ANN E. MARIMOW (THE WASHINGTON POST)

PM quits over protests against tax increases

Starbucks’ Howard Schultz steps down as chairman

Residents of London’s Grenfell Tower were wrongly told to stay in their apartments as fire raged through the high-rise building nearly a year ago, aided by flammable external cladding and a host of fire-safety failings, an expert report said Monday. Firesafety engineer Barbara Lane said the fire department’s “stay put” policy was shown to have “effectively failed” barely half an hour into the fire. But residents of the building weren’t warned to evacuate until more than an hour after that, at 2:47 a.m., Lane said. By that point, 187 people had fled the building and 107 remained.

Of those, 36 were able to get out.

The other 71 died. (AP)

Jordan’s King Abdullah II on Monday accepted the resignation of his prime minister, hoping to quell the largest anti-government protests in recent years. Prime Minister Hani Mulki’s resignation came after days of mass protests against a planned tax increase, the latest in a series of economic reforms sought by the International Monetary Fund to get rising public debt under control.

The government has also raised prices for bread, electricity and fuel. Many Jordanians feel they are being squeezed by a government they perceive as corrupt. Education Minister Omar Razzaz has reportedly been tapped as Mulki’s successor. (AP)

Schultz, 64, says he is considering a range of options.

Speculation has swirled for years that Schultz might run for president. He told The New York Times on Monday that he was considering public service and that “for some time now, I have been deeply concerned about our country.” (AP)

Is Trump’s authority ‘absolute’?

WASHINGTONPOST.COM MORNING MIX

Former slave being reviewed for sainthood

POLITICS President Trump claimed Monday he has an “absolute right” to pardon himself, part of an expansive vision of executive authority that is mostly untested in court and could portend a drawn-out fight with the prosecutors now investigating him.

No need of a pardon anyway, Trump tweeted, because “I have done nothing wrong.” In fact, his lawyers assert in a memo to special counsel Robert Mueller, it’s impossible for him to have done anything wrong in the area of obstructing justice, an issue Mueller has been investigating.

That’s because, as the country’s chief law enforcement officer, Trump himself has ultimate control of the Justice Department and executive branch. Beyond that, his lawyers have repeatedly insisted that it’s beyond dispute that a sitting president cannot be criminally prosecuted.

T r u mp a lso t weeted on Monday that the Justice Department’s “appointment of the Special Counsel is totally UNCONSTITUTIONAL.” Mueller’s investigation moves forward nonetheless, and as it does, courts may have to confront questions with minimal if any historical precedent. Those include whether a president can be forced to answer questions from prosecutors, whether it’s possible for a commander in chief to criminally interfere in

investigations and whether a president’s broad pardon power can be deployed for corrupt purposes.

“There’s a reason they’re untested. It’s because they were unthinkable,” said Savannah Law School professor Andrew Wright, who served as counsel under President Barack Obama.

“The president’s game here in part is to take issues that are so beyond the pale that they have never been tested and say, ‘Look, there’s no authority here.’ ” Mueller is investigating whether Trump associates coordinated with Russia during the 2016 presidential election and whether Trump took steps to shut down that investigation through actions including the firing of FBI Director James Comey.

Though Trump insists he did nothing wrong, the statements from him and his lawyers make clear that much of their defense revolves around establishing that he was constitutionally empowered to take the actions he took.

The argument suggests that protocols meant to protect against abuses of power are merely norms the American public has come to expect, rather than laws binding on a president.

In Trump’s view, he is entitled to fire an FBI director for any reason. He can similarly terminate an FBI investigation given the constitutional powers he enjoys, the president’s lawyers say.

President, lawyers are laying out vision of almost unlimited executive powers

President Trump said Monday he has an “absolute right” to pardon himself.

‘You are not a king’ Critics responded to claims that President Trump can pardon himself by comparing him to a king. (EXPRESS) Rep. Ted Deutch, D-Fla.: “You can’t pardon yourself,” he tweeted Monday. “Let me remind you of something, we don’t live in a monarchy and you are not a king.”

Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y.: “We don’t have a king,“ Schumer said Monday. “We are a nation of laws, not men. That‘s what the Founding Fathers created America all about.

They didn‘t like the monarchies. But if a president can pardon himself, it‘s virtually a monarchy — at least as far as the president is concerned.“ Nick Akerman: “First of all, the whole idea that he can’t be charged with obstruction of justice — the last time that ever happened in this country is when we were ruled

by King George,” Akerman, an assistant prosecutor during the Watergate scandal, said Saturday on MSNBC.

Group of Parkland, Fla., shooting survivors announces summer bus tour to register young voters across U.S.

“If you’re trying to apply the obstruction statutes to something the president has the power to do, then I don’t think the statute applies,” said Josh Blackman, a professor at South Texas College of Law. White House spokeswoman Sarah Huckabee Sanders, who was questioned repeatedly Monday about whether the president is above the law, said no, he is not.

But Blackman said that was overly simplistic: “It’s a great slogan, but law doesn’t treat the president in all respects. There are certain things the president can do that no one else can do,” such as granting pardons and negotiating international treaties.

Wright adds: “Their argument has antecedents that are legitimate about the president’s management of the executive branch. But they’re taking them well past their logical extremes.”

In post-Civil War Denver, Julia Greeley brought food, coal and clothing — sometimes even hauling mattresses on her back — to help families in need.

Working as a housekeeper for white families, Greeley, a devout Catholic, gave away much of what she earned to the poor.

The former slave even gave away her own burial plot.

People thought Greeley lived like a saint — and now the Archdiocese of Denver is seeking to make it official.

On Thursday, Greeley will be entombed at Denver’s Cathedral Basilica of the Immaculate Conception to celebrate the 100th anniversary of her death.

Her remains were exhumed last year as part of the canonization process for sainthood.

The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops gave the go-ahead to open the cause for Greeley’s canonization process in 2016, which formally happened in December of that year. She has since been awarded the designation of “Servant of God.” Julia Greeley “will be the first person buried in Denver’s cathedral,” said Auxiliary Bishop Jorge H. Rodriguez.

“Not a bishop, not a priest — a laywoman, a former slave. Isn’t that something?”

Greeley is one of six AfricanAmericans — including three former slaves — under review for sainthood. MEAGAN FLYNN

Death toll in Guatemala from Volcano of Fire expected to go higher EL RODEO, GUATEMALA Rescuers pulled survivors and bodies Monday from the charred aftermath of the powerful eruption of Guatemala’s Volcano of Fire. The death toll rose to 62 and was expected to go higher after a disaster that caught residents of remote mountain hamlets off

guard, with little or no time to flee to safety.

Using shovels and backhoes, emergency workers dug through the debris and mud, perilous labor on smoldering terrain still hot enough to melt shoe soles a day after the volcano exploded in a hail of ash, smoke and molten rock.

Bodies were so thickly coated with ash that they looked like statues, and rescuers were forced to use sledgehammers to break through the roofs of

us to identify them because some of the dead lost their features or their fingerprints” from the redhot flows, Garcia said.

Guatemalan authorities said they had been monitoring the Volcano of Fire after activity picked up around 6 a.m. Sunday.

David de Leon, spokesman for the country’s disaster agency, said that around 2 p.m. the volcano registered a new, more powerful explosion. Soon, searing flows of lava, ash and rock mixed with water and debris were gushing down the volcano’s flanks.

“It traveled much faster. It arrived in communities right when the evacuation alerts were being sent out,” de Leon said.

THREE POINTERS

Nats host Tampa Bay

WARRIORS AT CAVALIERS GAME 3: 9 P.M. WEDNESDAY, ABC

Great isn’t enough for James LeBron has to have a historic performance just to give Cleveland a chance at winning ANALYSIS The last seconds were still ticking off the clock inside Oracle Arena, but LeBron James had seen enough. He began marching across the court before the final score in Game 2 of the NBA Finals — Golden State 122, Cleveland 103 — appeared. By the time the buzzer sounded, confirming the Warriors’ win Sunday, James was out of sight.

The task of beating the Warriors four times in seven games was daunting enough. For James to win his fourth title, he’ll have to beat them in four out of five.

“At the end of the day, we have a Game 3 to play,” he said. “We’ve got an opportunity to go home, and we’ve played some really good basketball on our floor.”

It was hard to watch Game 2

and not think about what could have been, had Cleveland properly closed out Game 1 instead of J.R. Smith mistakenly dribbling out the clock in regulation.

James played every second Sunday before coach Tyronn Lue raised the white flag with 4:09 left.

James finished with 29 points, 13 assists and nine rebounds while shooting 10-for-20 from the floor.

But it wasn’t the same kind of performance he had in Game 1, when he scored 51 points — his career high in a playoff game — and the scoreboard reflected that.

So for James, a great game isn’t good enough. A historic game, the kind he had in Game 1, is required for Cleveland to even have a chance.

It’s not that James had no help in Game 2. Kevin Love had 22

points and 10 rebounds. George Hill added 15 points.

But Golden State got 33 points and a Finals-record nine 3-pointers from Stephen Curry, 26 points from Kevin Durant and 20 from Klay Thompson.

Cleveland has no chance against that kind of firepower, not to mention the rest of the Warriors playing the kind of locked-in, defending-champion

style of basketball the world has been waiting to see from them all season. Shooting 57.3 percent, including 41.7 percent from 3, Golden State played like a team that had been properly spooked into focusing on the task at hand after its Game 1 escape.

Golden State presents a challenge no single star can stop.

Even with its best defensive option against James, Andre Iguodala, on the sideline in street clothes, the Warriors still feature four All-Stars in Curry, Durant, Thompson and Draymond Green (who is also the reigning defensive player of the year).

Needing to produce not just a great game, but an all-time great game, every night is a standard not even James can live up to.

But these first two games have proven that’s what it will take for Cleveland to win a game in this series, let alone four of them.

Serena pulls out with chest injury Serena Williams pulled out of the French Open on Monday, less than an hour before she was supposed to face Maria Sharapova in a highly anticipated fourth-round match. Williams, 36, said she initially felt something wrong with a pectoral muscle during her singles match Saturday. She initially hid that information from her coach, then struggled through a Sunday doubles loss with her sister, Venus. This was Williams’ first major tournament in 16 months, and her first since giving birth to her daughter in September. Williams said she will get an MRI today. “The fact that I physically can’t serve at all is a good indication that maybe I should just go back to the drawing board and stay positive,” Williams said.

Police talked about potential backlash after tasing Milwaukee guard NBA Milwaukee police officers who used a stun gun on Bucks rookie Sterling Brown after a Jan. 26 parking violation were immediately concerned about community backlash, according to newly released video and images of the late-night incident.

New body camera video obtained by WISN-TV and published Sunday shows officers discussing the possibility that

they could be accused of racism, and expressing concern about how their actions would be viewed in the community. “If he makes a [expletive] complaint, it’s going to be a [expletive] media firestorm,� an officer says in the video. “And then any little [expletive] thing that goes wrong is going to be, ‘Oh, the Milwaukee Police Department is all racist, blah, blah, blah.’ �

Another officer adds, “We’re trying to protect ourselves.�

In the video, an officer is seen stepping on Brown’s ankle after he is on the ground, prompting Brown to say: “You’re stepping on

WISN also published photos

that show injuries to Brown’s face and body.

Brown, a 6-foot-6 shooting guard, was arrested around 2 a.m. on Jan. 26, when an officer at a Walgreens spotted a vehicle parked across two spots reserved for disabled drivers. Brown was initially arrested on a possible misdemeanor charge of resisting or obstructing an officer, but police officials did not refer the case to prosecutors after an internal review that included viewing the body camera footage.

The city’s police department released body-camera and squad-car video last month that showed the arrest in progress.

According to AP, three officers involved in the arrest were dealt suspensions ranging from two to 15 days. Brown has said he plans to sue the department.

EVENT HORIZON

Healthy in moderation Go ahead, dive into your dinner of tuna and brown rice. Just don’t repeat that same meal every night. Foods high in nutrients can also be high in unwelcome amounts of chemicals. It’s also important to introduce variety into your meals to make sure you get the balance of nutrients your body needs. Here are five nutritious foods you should eat; just don’t overdo it. CARA ROSENBLOOM (FOR THE WASHINGTON POST)

SweatCon Rally comes to District

Brown rice

Brazil nuts

Albacore tuna

Cinnamon

Coffee

We’ve been told to replace white rice with whole-grain brown rice. And although that’s good advice that will net you more fiber, vitamins and minerals, it also comes at a cost: arsenic. Not toxic levels — but eating it a few times a day is not a good idea. Excess arsenic is linked to an increased risk of heart disease and some types of cancer.

Rice absorbs more arsenic from the soil than other grains, and brown rice has 80 percent more arsenic than white. That’s because arsenic accumulates in the grain’s outer layers, which are removed to create white rice. So, enjoy brown rice a few times a week, but not daily. Try low-arsenic grains such as quinoa, barley and buckwheat.

Brazil nuts are a good source of magnesium, vitamin E, zinc and calcium. They are also crazy-high in the antioxidant mineral selenium. Just one nut contains your daily dose.

The problem? Too much selenium is toxic and may cause symptoms such as loss of hair and nails, diarrhea, skin rashes, mottled teeth, and nervous system abnormalities. That’s why you often see separate bulk containers of almonds, pecans, cashews or walnuts, but not usually for Brazil nuts. Instead, stick with mixed nuts for snacking. Grab a handful and eat a variety of nuts, but don’t pick out and only eat a dozen Brazil nuts.

Tuna is a lean source of protein and is high in hearthealthy omega-3 fats.

The issue is that albacore tuna is a very large fish, and it spends a lot of time in mercury-laden waters.

Methylmercury builds up in tuna, and if you eat too many servings per week, it can build up in you. Mercury toxicity can cause memory loss, vision loss or trouble regulating blood pressure levels. High mercury intake is especially problematic in children, women of childbearing age and women who are pregnant or breastfeeding. These groups should limit their intake to once a week. Instead, opt for smaller species of tuna, including skipjack and yellowfin.

If you have a small sprinkle of cinnamon on your oatmeal or chai tea latte, you have nothing to worry about. Some research has shown that cinnamon may help lower blood sugar — at doses of a teaspoon or more per day. The trouble is that grocery store cinnamon, a spice known as cassia cinnamon, contains a compound called coumarin, which has been linked to an increased risk of liver disease when consumed in excess (more than a teaspoon per day).

If, with the approval of your doctor, you are trying the cinnamon treatment for Type 2 diabetes, turn to true Ceylon cinnamon, which you can buy at a health food store.

Coffee is filled with beneficial antioxidants and can certainly help with alertness. But keep in mind that the average 8-ounce cup of coffee contains about 100 to 150 mg of caffeine, and it’s best to stay within 400 mg of caffeine per day (so, about three or four cups of coffee at 8 ounces each).

After that level, you may get symptoms such as jitteriness, rapid heartbeat and insomnia, and at high intakes, coffee acts as a diuretic. And remember, if you order an extra-large coffee (24 ounces), it counts as three cups. If you need a caffeine bump after a couple cups, opt for a cup of black or green tea, which has just 30 to 50 mg of caffeine per cup.

I don’t want that brat near my kid Q. We have a good relationship with our next-door neighbors, but they have a teenage daughter who is rude to them and very bratty. She and her friends hang out in their backyard, where I hear all, and they are just very negative people. The daughter is now starting a baby-sitting “business” and she and they keep asking if she can baby-sit my 3-year-old. They won’t take no for an answer. How do I handle this? AWKWARD NEIGHBOR In this case, “no” will eventually be taken for an answer automatically, because it has to be. Presumably, this teenager is not going to break into your home to play Hungry Hungry Hippos with your child, so you’ve already triumphed: She will not be baby-sitting for you. The rest is just a matter of how much you want to tolerate the continued asking. After

a certain amount of making yourself clear, you don’t really owe them additional responses. In the meantime, I vote for a “no” that is both firm and kind, with a civil but unequivocal change of subject. (“We’re all set for child care — I really don’t want you to waste your time asking anymore.”)

Rinse, repeat and then start talking about those Caps.

STUCK IN THE MIDDLE

I’m stuck on the fact that he was dishonest for so long (making the original crime so much worse), is still perhaps not being totally honest (“sort of admitted”?) and steadfastly put you in the position of defending something to your own family that you did not realize you were defending. You’ve essentially spent the last month dismissing your mother’s and brother’s feelings and saying they were hearing things, all because of him. So, I will suggest a raise in the apology quotient: Not only does he owe your family one, for all of it, but you owe them one as well.

And he most certainly owes one to you. Perhaps even more important than all of that is this: What will he learn from this, and how will he act differently in the future? And is he even motivated to do so?

Delivering the goods Snail Mail’s Lindsey Jordan felt the weight of expectation on the band’s debut album her senior year while the band’s profile continued to rise.

“I really enjoyed prom,” she confesses, a goofy smile blooming across her face. “I liked going to school events.”

After Snail Mail performed at South by Southwest last year, the pressure was on for Jordan to capitalize on the enthusiasm that had coalesced around her.

“There was a push, an energy,” Jordan says. “Sort of a real expectation for you to ride the wave.”

But “Habit” took two years to write, and Jordan didn’t want to rush her follow-up.

“She’s definitely a perfectionist,” Brown says. “The experience of, ‘Oh, a lot of people are waiting for this’ — there’s a lot more weight on her shoulders.”

“Lush,” which will be released Friday, was “really emotional,” she says, tougher than “Habit” — even with all the added benefits of signing with a bigger label in Matador Records.

By her own admission, Jordan is “so uptight in the studio, very controlling,” and despite the bucolic setting — on a farm in upstate New York, all crackling campfire vibes — she was stressed out the whole time.

Lindsey Jordan hangs out somewhere with lots of graffiti, as indie rockers do.

There were arguments with her bandmates, songs were scrapped and restarted, and she and producer Jake Aron performed “open-heart surgery” on tracks she had spent years writing.

The process was “really heartbreaking, even though I know we bettered” the music, she says.

“I’ve never felt worse in my life.”

She wrote 30 tracks for the record; 10 made the final cut. “I was just really freaky about the process. I kind of created this self-filtering, crazy checklist,”

leaving her only with songs “that you actually care about and feel like you can play every single night without wanting to vomit and rip your hair out.”

Now that the album is complete, “I know my hard work is done,” she says. “I’m in this weird euphoria. I feel super high.”

She clarifies: “I’m not actually high right now. But I feel, like, light and airy. And now it feels to me like the fun part is starting.” JESSICA M. GOLDSTEIN (FOR THE WASHINGTON POST)

ANDRE CHUNG (FOR THE WASHINGTON POST)

MUSIC In a move that is both very teenage and very rock musician and therefore extremely teenage rock musician, Lindsey Jordan is still sleeping off last night’s party when her interview with The Washington Post is scheduled to begin. The meeting is at her parents’ house, where Jordan, the 19-year-old phenom behind the Baltimore indie outfit Snail Mail, still lives.

Jordan formed Snail Mail three years ago. Within two weeks of starting the band, she performed at a festival in Maryland alongside Screaming Females, Sheer Mag and Priests, three of the current torchbearers of independent punk. Snail Mail’s first EP, “Habit,” was released on D.C. label Sister Polygon in July 2016, and soon Jordan was making quite the impression with her old-soul lyrics, indisputable musicianship and plaintive, yearning vocals.

“It’s taken me years to put into words how special Lindsey’s songwriting is, and I still haven’t been able to do it,” says Snail Mail drummer Ray Brown.

Jordan found herself living on the cusp of adulthood after forming Snail Mail, savoring

Patterson and Clinton make an awkward duo BOOK REVIEW Former president Bill Clinton and thriller writer James Patterson have teamed up to write a novel together, which for pure marketing genius would be like Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Katy Perry releasing a duet.

Released Monday, “The President Is Missing” opens with the titular President Duncan preparing to face a panel of political opportunists intent on impeaching him. Duncan knows he sounds “like a lawyer” caught in “a semantic legal debate,” but darn it, he’s trying to save the United States! As a fabulous revision of Clinton’s own life and impeachment scandal, this is dazzling.

The whole 500-page novel takes place in just a few days as a terrorist plots to activate a computer virus that has infected every electronic device in America. In a matter of hours, the country’s financial, legal and medical records will be erased; the transportation and electrical grids will crash.

For much of “The President Is Missing,” Patterson seems to have deferred to Clinton. When we pick up a thriller this silly, we want underwear models shooting Hellfire missiles from hang gliders; Clinton gives us Cabinet members questioning each other over Skype.

The publishers promised “insider details that only a president can know.” But in the end, the novel can only offer tepid moralizing. RON CHARLES (TWP)

@ERINSTRECKER, applauding the news Monday that Reese Witherspoon is in talks to return to the screen as Elle Woods for a third installment of “Legally Blonde.” Some people were skeptical. “Have we learned nothing from ‘Bridget Jones’s Baby’ about reviving beloved rom-coms into trilogies?” @kpfallon tweeted.

“Who in the world has 32 people that they would ever FaceTime with simultaneously? I have zero.” @FEITSBARSTOOL, reacting to the news Monday

that Apple is rolling out a group option for FaceTime with iOS 12 that will allow up to 32 people to video chat at once. The group FaceTime also comes with emojis and filters. Many people reacted with confusion over why anyone would need to talk to so many people. “I don’t want to FaceTime with one person,” @jpbrammer tweeted.

MONEY

FOR COLLEGE Parents, we know that it’s not easy to pay for college.

But, if you’re a DC resident, have a son or daughter 26 or younger with a high school diploma or GED and meet a few other requirements, the DC Tuition Assistance Grant (DCTAG) can help by providing up to $10,000 a year to participating colleges and universities, nationwide. The deadline is June 30th and you can apply using any mobile device or computer.

For more information, call (202) 727-2824, go to osse.dc.gov or visit 1050 First Street, NE, 5th floor, Washington, DC, Monday-Friday from 8:30 a.m.-5 p.m.

@NUMBERSMUNCHER, tweeting after Facebook said Friday that the company is shutting down its Trending Topics section this week. The product caused controversy for Facebook after a 2016 Gizmodo report alleged that the “curators” of Trending Topics were suppressing conservative news.

“Clinton still doesn’t get it.

Of course he owes her a standing apology. ... Pointing to Trump’s behavior is pathetic. Of course Trump is worse but this is not a ranking thing.” @AWG_ALLAN, reacting to Bill Clinton’s

interview with “Today,” in which he said he has never apologized to Monica Lewinsky privately, and that if the scandal were to happen today, he would deal with it the same way he did at the time.
