Apparently, the real threat to jobs isn’t robots — it’s goats

When eye doctors in England prepped a woman for surgery last fall, they discovered that she had 27 contact lenses — bound together by mucus — in one eye. “She was quite shocked,” specialist trainee Rupal Morjaria told Optometry Today in a recent article. The woman, 67, had worn monthly contact lenses for 35 years and rarely visited an eye doctor. Two weeks after the procedure, “her eyes felt a lot more comfortable,” Morjaria said. (EXPRESS)

A municipal employees’ union has filed a grievance because Western Michigan University hired goats this summer to clear 15 acres on campus.

Saga of bald eagles has feel-good ending

This injured bald eagle, found July 1 in Southeast D.C., was released back into the wild last week.

“We thought it was one of the ones from that nest,” said Dan Rauch, a wildlife biologist with the District’s Department of Energy and Environment. Specialists thought the animal was Justice, Rauch said.

Whatever its identity, the eagle seemed to need help.

After examination at City Wildlife, the rescue and rehabilitation center in D.C., the

eagle, still thought to be Justice, was sent to a wildlife center in Delaware for further observation.

While it was there, an important event occurred. In the second week of July, the true Justice, the male of the police academy pair, returned to the nest, wildlife authorities said.

So the eagle being treated in Delaware was not Justice. It was, rather, one of the more than 16,000 other eagles thought to inhabit the United States.

The mystery eagle was flying well in a flight cage at the Delaware center last week, said Paula Goldberg, the executive director of City Wildlife.

On Thursday, the Delaware center said the eagle, after demonstrating its readiness, “was returned to the skies.”

It was fitted with a leg band for identification. So far, no bird with that band has been spotted again, Rauch said. Nobody can say where the eagle was headed.

But no news appears to be good news. MARTIN WEIL AND RACHEL CHASON (THE WASHINGTON POST)

WEATHER

Mild summer?

It’s really one of the hottest.

Believe it or not, Sunday marked the midpoint of meteorological summer (June 1 to Aug. 31) — and it’s been substantially hotter than normal. The National Weather Service says this summer so far ranks as the sixth-hottest in records dating back to 1872. It has averaged 79.1 degrees in D.C., 2.3 degrees above normal.

These numbers may come as a surprise, as the heat’s intensity has mostly been mild. But it’s been persistent. We’ve logged 23 days at or above 90 degrees, six above normal for the year to date. (TWP)

THE DISTRICT Good news about bald eagles is in the air: An eagle that was reported missing from its nest near D.C.’s police academy has returned.

And an eagle that was found in distress near the academy, and was once thought to be the missing eagle, has thrived in the interim.

It has been released, hopefully to soar as one more free-flying embodiment of the spirit of America.

The tale, featuring not one, but two of the majestic creatures, began in Southeast on July 1.

That afternoon, an eagle was found on the ground, unable to fly, near Eighth and Xenia streets SE — about a mile and a half from the police academy, where two eagles, Liberty and Justice, had long been under video watch and thus turned into local celebrities.

As it happens, the grounded eagle was found at the time that one of the two academy eagles was missing.

Presidential battle brewing on Potomac

Boaters fume over plan to close part of river while Trump is golfing TONI L. SANDYS (THE WASHINGTON POST)

STERLING, VA. The Trump family has offended many sectors of establishment Washington since their arrival in the nation’s capital.

But 30 miles north of the White House, a conflict is now brewing on the banks of the Potomac River that pits the president’s interests against those of a very different — if no less zealous — constituency. One armed with paddles.

Citing security concerns, the U.S. Coast Guard says it is adopting a policy of periodically cutting off access to roughly 2 miles of the Potomac where it borders Trump National Golf Club in Sterling, Va. The restrictions would clear the water when Trump or other senior officials in his government decide to spend a day on the back nine.

The buffer zone is stoking concern and opposition among recreational users of the river. The proposed shore-to-shore security area includes Riley’s Lock, the embarkation point for a summer camp and a kayaking program for wounded and disabled veterans.

“It’s just heartbreaking,” said John Deitle, 41, who served a combined five tours with the Marines in Afghanistan and Iraq and receives treatment at Walter

Deitle paddles on this half-milewide stretch of the Potomac with Team River Runner, a nonprofit that caters to wounded vets.

“Granted, it’s his golf course,” Deitle said. “But he has other golf courses.”

The new security measures near Trump National seem to have come as a particular blow to the tightly knit clan of paddlers.

“It’s a sharing culture out here, and it feels strange to have somebody not sharing,” said Ashley Nee, a kayaker who competed for Team USA at the 2016 Olympic Games and is currently training for 2020 on the stretch of river.

Officials at the White House and Secret Service did not respond to requests for comment. spon

Lt. A ma nda Faulk ner, a spokeswoman for the Coast Guard, said water-access restrictions would only be invoked when the Secret Service requested them because of visits to the golf course from “high-ranking government officials.”

She declined to say who qualified as “high-ranking,” saying the Coast Guard would take direction from the Secret Service on which officials triggered the security zone. Most of the time, she said, the river would remain open.

The policy is currently in effect on an interim basis, she said, and will be made final — and adjusted, if necessary — after the Coast Guard receives public comments that must be submitted by Aug. 9. PETER JAMISON (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Tests would focus on whether autonomous vehicles could communicate with each other and successfully run in the same lanes as regular traffic. The tests would also determine what wireless communication tools may be needed to keep the self-driving vehicles on track. Some tests would require express lanes to be closed; others could be conducted during “light traffic conditions.” (AP)

Secretary of State Rex Tillerson met with the Emir of Qatar last week.

UAE denies role in Qatar hacking U.S. intel officials say false, planted quotes caused current crisis MIDDLE EAST The United Arab Emirates orchestrated the hacking of Qatari government news and social media sites in order to post incendiary false quotes attributed to Qatar’s emir, Sheikh Tamim Bin Hamad al-Thani, in late May that sparked the ongoing upheaval between Qatar and its neighbors, according to U.S. intelligence officials, The Washington Post reported Sunday.

In a statement released in Washington by its ambassador, Yousef al-Otaiba, the UAE said The Post article was “false.”

“What is true is Qatar’s behavior. Funding, supporting, and enabling extremists from the Taliban to Hamas and Qadafi.

Inciting violence, encouraging radicalization, and undermining the stability of its neighbors,” the statement said.

Officials became aware last week that newly analyzed information gathered by U.S. intelligence agencies confirmed that on May 23, senior members of the UAE government discussed the plan. The officials said it

remains unclear whether the UAE carried out the hacks itself or contracted to have them done.

The false reports said that the emir, among other things, had called Iran an “Islamic power” and praised Hamas.

Citing the emir’s reported comments, the Saudis, the UAE, Bahrain and Egypt immediately banned all Qatari media. They then broke relations with Qatar and declared a trade and diplomatic boycott, sending the region into a political and diplomatic tailspin that Secretary of State Rex Tillerson has warned could undermine U.S. counterterrorism efforts against the Islamic State.

More than 10,000 U.S. troops are based at Qatar’s al-Udeid Air Base, the U.S. Central Command’s regional headquarters, and Bahrain is the home of the U.S. Navy’s 5th Fleet.

The conflict has also exposed sharp differences between President Trump — who has clearly taken the Saudi and UAE side in a series of tweets and statements — and Tillerson, who has urged compromise and spent most of last week in shuttle diplomacy among the regional capitals that has been unsuccessful so far.

Sen. McCain’s absence leaves GOP bill in flux

OH, BOTHER!

Portly Pooh runs afoul of China’s censors

POLITICS Senate Republican leaders returned to the Capitol on Monday pledging to press ahead with plans to pass a sweeping overhaul of the nation’s health care system — but uncertainty about the health of Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., has thrust the future of their flagging effort deeper into doubt.

In a speech on the Senate floor, Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., said he spoke with McCain on Monday morning and that “he’ll be back with us soon.”

The Arizonan is recovering at home from surgery to remove a blood clot above his left eye that involved opening his skull.

McConnell also vowed to keep the effort going to rewrite much of the Affordable Care Act. He lacks the votes to pass it without McCain in the Senate.

However, the timetable on which that could happen was not clear. McCain, 80, is awaiting the results of tissue pathology reports “pending within the next several days,” the hospital treating him said in a statement over the weekend. He will be away from the Senate for at least the rest of the week.

The most common causes of blood clots in the head, especially for older people, are falls, car crashes and other events

Republicans don’t have a time line for passing health care overhaul

Sen. John McCain is recovering from surgery at home in Arizona.

“We hope John McCain gets better very soon, because we miss him. He’s a crusty voice in Washington, plus we need his vote.”

PRESIDENT TRUMP, on Monday, assuring people that Sen. John McCain will be back “sooner than somebody else would be back”

that cause traumas, even minor ones, said Elliott Haut, a trauma surgeon at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine.

Another possibility is that the clot is related to McCain’s history of melanoma, a dangerous form of skin cancer that can spread

to other organs. Haut said that is much less likely.

GOP leaders have decided to put off the vote until after McCain returns. But even with him in the Senate, the bill is in peril.

The Arizonan is among the many key Republicans who have worried about the substance of it.

Without McCain in the Senate, McConnell can count on at most 49 votes to move ahead on the health care bill. Along with all of the Democrats, Sens. Rand Paul, R-Ky., and Susan Collins, RMaine, oppose it. Spokespeople for the two Republicans confirmed they still intend to vote against bringing the bill to the Senate floor.

If Republicans can round up 50 votes, Vice President Pence can break a tie in their favor.

Who could possibly be offended by Winnie-thePooh? Chinese censors, apparently. The chubby bear has been on censors’ radar since 2013, when social media users began noting his resemblance to President Xi Jingping.

The Communist Party, which bristles at criticism, does not appreciate the comparison. Various news outlets have reported on a renewed crackdown lately.

Mentions and images of Winnie-the-Pooh have been disappearing from Chinese social network sites, The New York Times reports. Some Chinese have gone online to post about Pooh to test the current ban, which appears not to be uniform. (EXPRESS)

Hearing loss may be clue to mental decline HEALTH Researchers have identified hearing loss and verbal fluency as new factors that can provide clues about cognitive health and aid in early detection of Alzheimer’s and other dementias.

A study conducted by University of Wisconsin (UW) researchers found a link between hearing loss and mild cognitive impairment, which can be a precursor to Alzheimer’s disease. The study tracked a group of 783 people enrolled in the Wisconsin Registry for Alzheimer’s Prevention (WRAP), a study group of middle-aged people with a parental history of Alzheimer’s. Those who reported hearing loss were found to be more likely to score poorly on cognitive tests and roughly three times as likely to have mild cognitive impairment four years later, compared with those who reported normal hearing.

Another UW study found a link between speech and early mild cognitive impairment.

Researchers analyzed two one-minute speech samples, taken two years apart, from 264 participants drawn from WRAP. Based on testing over eight to 10 years, a quarter of the participants were identified as having early mild cognitive impairment, and this subset was found to have declined faster in verbal fluency in the samples.

They were less specific, and their fluency contained more hesitation, pauses, repetitions and filler words. MARY HUI (TWP)

U.N. blames rise in civilian war deaths on insurgents

Jailed U.S. scholar is hailed for his ‘intellectual curiosity’

A Jordanian soldier was sentenced Monday by a military court in Amman to life in prison after being convicted of killing three U.S. military trainers last year. Jordan has ruled out terrorism in the November shooting, in which a convoy of U.S. Army Green Berets came under fire at a Jordanian air base entrance. First Sgt. Marik al-Tuwayha has said he felt no animosity toward Americans and opened fire because he believed the base was coming under attack.

Relatives of the slain U.S. troops have described footage that they say shows al-Tuwayha firing at the Americans for six minutes, even as they identify themselves. (AP)

Afghanistan’s protracted war killed a record number of civilians during the first six months of this year, according to a U.N. report released Monday, which blamed the majority of the deaths on bombings by insurgents. U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights Zeid Ra’ad al-Hussein said the “horrifying” figure of 1,662 people killed between January and June of this year “can never fully convey the sheer human suffering of the people of Afghanistan.” Insurgent attacks killed 1,141 civilians, a 12 percent increase over the same period last year, according to the report, which said such attacks wounded 2,348.

An American scholar jailed in Iran for espionage is “linguistically gifted” and had “unbounded intellectual curiosity” in the pursuit of his doctorate at Princeton University, his adviser said Monday, adding to a portrait of the graduate student whose 10-year sentence was announced by Iran on Sunday. Xiyue Wang, 37, was detained last August while researching the Qajar dynasty for his dissertation, Princeton said Sunday. His arrest, for allegedly “infiltrating” Iran and sending confidential material abroad, was not made public until this past weekend.

The verdict can still be appealed.

Trump expands H-2B visas Officials announce 15K added foreign workers for seasonal industries WASHINGTONPOST.COM INNOVATIONS

ASTRID RIECKEN (FOR THE WASHINGTON POST)

IMMIGRATION The Department of Homeland Security on Monday announced a one-time increase of 15,000 additional visas for low-wage seasonal workers for the remainder of this fiscal year, a seeming about-face from President Trump’s “Hire American” rhetoric, following heavy lobbying from fisheries, hospitality and other industries that rely on temporary foreign workers.

The increase represents a 45 percent bump from the number of H-2B visas normally issued for the second half of the fiscal year, senior Homeland Security officials said Monday.

The visas are for workers taking temporary jobs in the seafood, tourism, landscaping, construction and other seasonal industries — but not farm laborers.

Businesses can begin applying for the visas this week, but must first attest that their firms would suffer permanent “irreparable harm” without importing foreign workers. They will be required to retain documents proving that they would not otherwise be able to meet their contractual

“We’re talking about American businesses that are at risk of suffering irreparable harm if they don’t get additional H-2B workers,” he said. “This does

Petitions will be reviewed on a first-come, first-served basis, and granted without regard to industry type, geographic location or firm size, the officials said. Given that the summer is half over and that normal processing time takes 30 to 60 days, the officials recommended that businesses pay the $1,225 fee for expedited processing within 15 days.

The increase may come too late for some Virginia seafood processing plants, said Mike Hutt, executive director of the

Virginia Marine Products Board.

“Here we are in July, and some of these companies still don’t have workers,” Hutt said, adding that the lack of workers has led to at least one company shutting down an assembly line this summer.

Some critics dispute that there really is a labor shortage in the industries.

He said he’s usually against proactive regulation, which can impede innovation. But he’s making an exception in the case of an AI-fueled Armageddon.

“By the time we are reactive in regulation, it’s too late,” he said, confessing that “this is really like the scariest problem to me.”

Microsoft founder Bill Gates and theoretical physicist Stephen Hawking also have warned against the dangers of AI, but Musk concedes that people have been hesitant to accept their viewpoint.

“I keep sounding the alarm bell, but until people see like robots going down the streets killing people, they don’t know how to react because it seems so ethereal,” he said. “I think we should be really concerned about AI.” CLEVE R. WOOTSON JR.

MINNEAPOLIS Justine Damond called police late Saturday to report what she thought was a sexual assault occurring in an alley near the home she shared with her fiancé. But shortly after two officers arrived in her upscale neighborhood, the call turned deadly when one of them shot Damond.

It is unclear why an officer opened fire on Damond, a 40-yearold yoga and meditation teacher from Australia who was to wed next month. Her death immediately drew renewed scrutiny of police officers in the Twin Cities area for their use of deadly force.

The area is still reeling from two police-involved shootings that set off protests and prompted nationwide calls for officers to wear body cameras. One of the cases again led to rallies recently when an officer who shot a black man on a traffic stop was acquitted.

Damond’s death, one of more than 500 fatal shootings by police in the U.S. this year, also has raised serious concerns in her home country. News of her death was splashed across the websites of major news outlets in Australia, where friends, according to media reports, are demanding

Saturday, when police got a 911 call about a possible assault in the alley behind Damond’s home. The officers hadn’t turned on their body cameras, and police have not said why an officer fired.

THREE POINTERS

Redskins’ options

Deja vu all over again

Now that Kirk Cousins is locked into a franchisetag deal for this season, the focus turns to 2018.

Here are the options for the Redskins and team president Bruce Allen, below, if they want to retain their QB. (TWP)

3 Pay up for good

REDSKINS Once again, the Redskins and Kirk Cousins stood pat. And once again, Washington’s quarterback situation will lack clarity beyond the next 12 months.

As expected, the NFL’s 4 p.m. deadline passed Monday, and Cousins and the team failed to reach a long-term deal. That means he will play a second consecutive season under the team’s franchise-player tag, entitling him to a salary of $24 million.

The Redskins will have to wait until next year’s offseason before they can resume negotiations on a multiyear contract for Cousins.

People familiar with the negotiations had long maintained that the Redskins had virtually no chance to sign the sixth-year veteran to a long-term contract this offseason, despite repeated public declarations that they wanted to do so.

Many league insiders believed that to have a legitimate chance of re-signing Cousins, Washington would have had to offer more than it did.

After the deadline passed Monday, team president Bruce Allen told reporters that the club made an offer May 2 that would have included $53 million guaranteed, and in the event of an injury, Cousins would have received $72 million.

“The deal would have made him at least the second-highestpaid player by average per year in NFL history,” Allen said. “But despite our repeated attempts, we have not received any offer from Kirk’s agent this year.”

Projections based off the quarterback market called for roughly $88 million guaranteed over the life of a five-year deal, including $58 million at signing.

Former NFL agent Joel Corry said he thought that to have a shot at Cousins, the Redskins would need to exceed the $60 million in guaranteed money the Dolphins paid to defensive lineman Ndamukong Suh in 2015 and approach the $87 million guaranteed overall the Colts paid to quarterback Andrew Luck last year.

Cousins to play on franchise tag for a second straight season as deadline for new deal passes Allen claims huge offer Redskins president Bruce Allen told reporters Monday that Kirk Cousins turned down a deal that would have included $53 million guaranteed, and $72 million in the event of an injury. But a person with knowledge of the talks said the offer gave Cousins little incentive to sign because only two of the five seasons on the deal came with guaranteed money. According to a source, that offer also included an average salary in the low $20 million range for 2019-2022. M.J.

agent, Mike McCartney, believed Cousins deserved to be paid like one of the top players at his position after proving himself in back-to-back seasons.

Last year, the Redskins offered Cousins roughly $4 million less annually than what McCartney asked, saying they wanted to see Cousins prove his 4,000-yard 2015 production wasn’t a fluke.

Cousins played on the franchise tag in 2016, earning

$19.95 million (the average of the top five QB salaries) and threw for nearly 5,000 yards, earning a Pro Bowl invitation while leading Washington to back-to-back winning seasons for the first time in 20 years.

The starting point for negotiations, according to the Cousins camp, should have been around $24 million a year. The Redskins initially offered $20 million per year with limited guarantees Neither side budged, so Washington had to use the tag again.

The Redskins could have traded Cousins after using the tag, or they could have hammered out a long-term deal. No trade suitor was willing to meet the asking price, which league insiders said was two first-round picks.

People familiar with Cousins’ thinking said that he wasn’t upset over the lack of a better offer. Instead, he’s excited to see what he can do in a third season as starter.

Once again, Cousins finds himself in position to further drive up his value. MIKE JONES

Cousins claims he wants to stay. If he becomes a free agent, the Redskins would have to outbid other teams for a deal that could be worth $30 million per year.

2 Use the franchise tag Cousins will be the first QB to play two seasons under the franchise tag. A third would be unheard of — it would cost the team around $34 million for 2018.

1 Use the transition tag This would guarantee Cousins $28 million and give the Redskins the right to match offers from other teams, potentially putting Washington in a bidding war.

Ryan Zimmerman now has the most homers (235) in Expos/Nats history.

Early barrage powers Nats’ road sweep NATIONALS 6, REDS 1 Washington’s four-game trouncing of the Reds can be summarized by the first inning of the series finale, a 6-1 Nationals victory Monday in Cincinnati.

It began with the Nationals pounding pitcher Scott Feldman, for four straight hits — a double, a single, and back-to-back home runs — for four quick runs. And it continued with a blooper benefiting, of course, the visitors.

Reds right fielder Scooter Gennett dived to rob Matt Wieters of extra bases for the game’s first out, but then tripped and dropped the ball. The lag was long enough for Daniel Murphy to tag up and score from second base.

The first five batters Feldman faced scored, and he left after just one inning.

Stephen Strasburg, who yielded a solo home run to Eugenio Suarez and struck out 11 over seven innings, combined with Joe Blanton and Matt Grace to complete a series in which the Nats outscored the Reds 35-12.

Brian Goodwin’s leadoff double and Stephen Drew’s single set up Bryce Harper for a threerun homer in the first, his 23rd of the season. One pitch later, Ryan Zimmerman launched a line drive just over the wall in left field. The homer was the 235th of his career, surpassing Vladimir Guerrero for the most in Expos/Nationals history.

Kicking the soda habit You already know it’s bad for you — here’s how to stop drinking it completely

Soda alternatives

PERSPECTIVE It’s no secret that we shouldn’t be drinking so much soda. Study after study has linked the sweet drink with obesity and Type 2 diabetes, spurring many to switch to artificially sweetened drinks. But even diet sodas have come under fire, with a 2014 study in the American Journal of Public Health suggesting that diet soda isn’t promoting weight loss or helping people take in fewer calories.

Worse yet, new research suggests that drinking diet soda may speed up brain aging and increase the risk for stroke, dementia and Alzheimer’s disease. A recent study of nearly 3,000 participants over age 45 examined whether the consumption of sugary or diet beverages was linked to stroke and dementia risk over a 10-year period. The study, published in

Infused carbonated water: You can find an array of flavored sparkling waters on store shelves. For the most natural approach, ensure that there is no added sugar or artificial sweeteners in the ingredients list.

If plain or sparkling water doesn’t appeal to you, here are a few other soda substitutes: Infused water: If you need more flavor than plain water, try mixing in fruit, cucumber or fresh herbs to add taste without sweeteners. You’ll also get the benefits of antioxidants and, if you eat the fruit, fiber.

Kombucha: The fizziness of kombucha comes naturally from fermentation, rather than added carbon dioxide, and you can find it in a variety of flavors. Kombucha provides probiotics that are great for your gut health. Look for kombucha that has 5 grams of sugar or less per bottle.

the American Heart Association journal Stroke, found that participants who frequently drank artificially sweetened beverages were more likely to suffer from cardiovascular disease, Type 2 diabetes, stroke and dementia than those who frequently drank sugar-sweetened beverages.

That doesn’t mean you should reach for a regular soda. Other studies have found that both regular and diet soda increase the risk of stroke.

So how do you kick the soda habit, whether you’re hooked on

your routine with another, healthier habit. This is the time when many people feel a slump in their energy level. Bring a nutritious snack with you, go for a walk or buy a tea or sparkling water.

Take baby steps Slowly cutting down can be easier than going cold turkey. Cut your soda intake in half and replace it with water or another alternative. Stick to that for a week and reward yourself with a massage or a new book. Cut down a bit more the following week and give yourself another reward.

regular or diet?

Train your brain Set a goal Fight the cravings by reminding yourself of your goal each morning: Put it on your to-do list. Write down your desire to quit soda and your reasons on a sticky note, and put it on your computer — and another one in your wallet so you’ll see it when soda cravings strike.

With your behavior, you are shaping your brain and creating automatic responses to stimuli. For example, if a looming deadline has you chugging soda, find some space between the stress and the soda. In that space, you have the power to say no and to choose to drink something else. By doing so, you’re weakening the connection in your brain until you don’t think about it anymore.

By age 19, teenagers are about as active as 60-year-olds, according to a new study involving 12,529 Americans ages 6 to 85, in which researchers mapped how physical activity changes over a lifetime.

The participants, part of the 2003-2004 and 2005-2006 cycles of the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, wore accelerometers to measure movement for seven straight days. (Researchers counted all types of movement, not just exercise.) The results, published in the August issue of the journal of Preventive Medicine, found that by age 19, the average American is as sedentary as someone who is 60. Researchers theorize that the modern school day, which requires sitting for large amounts of time, and the time many spend looking at a screen may be to blame. Activity levels went up for those in their 20s and started to decline around 35.

Her? A vegetarian?

When pigs fly!

Q. How do you handle a person who claims they are vegetarian but they secretly eat meat? My roommate calls herself a vegetarian all the time, and yet I see her get pepperoni pizza or have a turkey sandwich or whatever. It drives me crazy that she’s so full of it and deceiving others. IRRITATED ROOMMATE It’s not up to you to be spearheading a Carnivore Inquisition. She’s presumably not entering contests for Vegetarian of the Year or creating a lifestyle startup based on her food choices, so her relationship with others vis-a-vis her vegetarianism is not your responsibility.

In your own interactions with her, you can choose whether to contradict her if she makes claims that don’t

hold up. And you can file away your own judgments about her behavior in any way you choose — perhaps it really does say something about her truthfulness, impulse control, image-consciousness, how self-serving she is, whatever.

But taking it upon yourself to spread evidence of her contradictions to others seems a waste of energy and a needless addition of stress and conflict.

Here is where the demarcations of girlfriend/partner/roommate/friend matter less than just being a human connected to another human in need.

Of course his being injured shouldn’t force you to stay in a romantic relationship, but as his companion of three years and presumably his “emergency contact,” pulling the plug on your interactions altogether seems cruel (abusive or toxic relationships notwithstanding).

The more you can genuinely offer post-breakup support, the more you’re being true to what human connection is all about, labels be darned. Of course, once you initiate the break, he may not want you hanging around to give him rides; that’s his choice. Overall, just be kind.

Going against the stream A legal loophole gives YouTube an advantage over its competitors WASHINGTONPOST.COM ACT FOUR

An ode to Martin Landau’s silliest role

THINKSTOCK/EXPRESS ILLUSTRATION

MUSIC With the money from CDs and digital downloads disappearing, the music industry has pinned its hope for the future on online song streaming, which now accounts for the majority of the $7.7 billion U.S. music market.

But the biggest player isn’t one of the names most associated with streaming — Spotify, Amazon, Pandora or Apple. It’s YouTube, which accounts for 25 percent of all music streamed worldwide, far more than any other site.

Now, YouTube is locked in a bitter battle with music labels over how much it pays to stream their songs. The music industry claims YouTube has avoided paying a fair-market rate by hiding behind broad legal protections.

In the United States, that’s the “safe harbor” provision, which essentially says YouTube is not to blame if someone uploads a copy-protected song, unless the copyright holder complains.

The industry has pressed its case to regulators around the world in hopes of a change. Now, the battle is heating up as the European Union is expected to release new rules later this year for how services such as YouTube handle music, potentially upending some of the copyright protections that undergird the internet.

But YouTube is not backing down, stressing the benefits to

musicians of promotion on one of the web’s most popular sites.

YouTube also warns against attacks that could reduce competition among streaming services.

“The industry should be really, really careful because they could close their eyes and wake up with their revenue really concentrated in two, three sources,” says Lyor Cohen, YouTube’s global head of music.

The dispute boils down to what YouTube pays for songs. Online streaming works like a digital jukebox, with fractions of a penny paid each time a song is played. The money comes from ads and subscriptions.

Musicians from Arcade Fire to Garth Brooks to Pharrell

Williams say they earn much less when their songs are played on YouTube than on a service such as Spotify — even though many listeners use these services in the same way (with search and song recommendations).

YouTube pays an estimated $1 per 1,000 plays on average, while Spotify and Apple Music pay a rate closer to $7.

YouTube admits that it pays less for songs. But it also points to its use of a Content ID system that checks for violations by comparing songs in new uploads against a database of claimed songs, capturing 99.5 percent of copyright complaints. It also has licensing deals with music labels large and small, and pays $ 1 billion in song

royalties worldwide each year.

Still, Irving Azoff, the legendary manager for acts such as the Eagles and Christina Aguilera, said he has one artist — whom he declined to name — who gets 33 percent of her online streams from YouTube but only 10 percent of her streaming revenue.

Smaller acts see it, too. Zoe Keating, an instrumental cello player, provided a statement from YouTube showing that she earned $261 from 1.42 million views on YouTube. In comparison, she earned $940 from 230,000 streams on Spotify.

“YouTube revenue is so negligible that I stopped paying attention to it,” Keating says.

When you learn a beloved actor has died, your thoughts might go to their most important and memorable work. So I’m slightly embarrassed to admit that when I heard Martin Landau had died Saturday at 89, my mind flashed to “Entourage,” HBO’s sitcom about the entertainment industry, which ran from 2004 to 2011.

I know it’s unfashionable to appreciate “Entourage,” but hear me out. Landau played Bob Ryan, an aging Hollywood power player desperate to stay in the game.

Ryan’s movie pitches were hokey and dated, often ending in the question “Is that something you might be interested in?” He could have been a fossil, a mere joke.

Landau defied that possibility, bringing a wounded dignity to the part. The character was selfaware enough to know that while he had produced great movies, he was perpetually in danger of being ignored and condescended to. His role provided a nice bit of acting about what it means to age, to fear being forgotten and to recognize that you may have one last shot at relevance and the feeling of connection that comes with continuing to work.

His character doesn’t make “Entourage” a great show, but it was a nice metric of Landau’s ability to give a character a distinctive walk. It’s wonderful when actors get terrific material; it’s also worth recognizing when actors improve everything they touch. ALYSSA ROSENBERG (TWP)

“The new emoji class of 2017 is perfectly geared toward the news cycle.” @CWARZEL, commenting on the new

batch of emojis announced by Apple on Monday, World Emoji Day. The new cast includes an exploding head (shown above), a vomiting face, a zombie and more everyday emoticons, such as a breast-feeding mother, a yoga dude and a woman wearing a hijab. The emojis will be available on iPhones in the coming months.

“They have Disney villain stamps. ... I don’t even send anything in the mail and I need them.” @CASSANDRASIEGEL, tweeting about some exciting news for Disney enthusiasts and stamp collectors: The U.S. Postal Service has released Disney villain stamps. The new stamps, unveiled at Disney’s D23 Expo and available now, celebrate the work of Disney Studios’ Ink and Paint Department. They feature 10 favorite villains, including Maleficent from “Sleeping Beauty,” Ursula from “The Little Mermaid” and Scar from “The Lion King.”

“Ann Coulter vs. Delta is the Twitter fight I didn’t know I needed.” @ELISEFOLEY, tweeting after Delta Air Lines changed Ann Coulter’s preselected seat, setting off a Twitter tirade from the conservative pundit. Delta said it would refund Coulter the extra $30 she paid for the seat, and tweeted that her insults about its customers and employees were “unacceptable.” Coulter was unmoved, responding that Delta cost her $10,000 worth of her time.

Shaq challenged LaVar in a video of himself lip-syncing Carrie Underwood’s song “Blown Away” while wearing a blonde wig.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) A slow start doesn’t necessarily predicate a slow finish. You can shift gears dramatically and come in strong.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) There is always more than one option to consider. Don’t close your eyes to that which is staring you in the face.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You mustn’t be too predictable, lest you make yourself vulnerable to someone’s obvious attacks.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You have a pattern that you follow in situations like the one you face now.

It may also raise questions.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You may have trouble coordinating a friend’s efforts with your own, especially early in the day. Take time to get up to speed.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) A flurry of activity may have you spending more time than usual in front of a computer screen or on the telephone. Pace yourself.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Don’t let yourself get stuck doing too much of something that you know isn’t going to be good for you in a while.

Stay free and flexible.

people Report: R. Kelly is running an abusive ‘cult’

Baby fated to be a French aristocrat “Get Out” writer/director Jordan Peele and “Brooklyn Nine-Nine” star Chelsea Peretti have welcomed their first child together, a boy named Beaumont Gino Peele. E! News reported that the baby was born on July 1.

The married couple broke their pregnancy news in February. Peele and Peretti, who dated for three years before getting engaged in late 2015, eloped in 2016. (EXPRESS)

R. Kelly is being accused in a BuzzFeed News report of holding multiple women “prisoner” as part of an abusive “cult.” Two families said their daughters — ages 18 and 19, respectively — are being held captive at Kelly’s properties in Atlanta and Chicago. Three former members of Kelly’s inner circle said they’ve seen half a dozen women at homes, saying Kelly dictates “what they eat, how they dress, when they bathe, when they sleep, and how they engage in sexual encounters that he records.” The mother of an alleged victim said she last saw her daughter in December 2016. “It was as if she was brainwashed. [She] looked like a prisoner — it was horrible,” she said. (EXPRESS)

Nick asks Aaron to bring future gripes to mom

Ryan Phillippe posted a picture of himself laid up in a hospital bed with a broken leg following what he called a “freak accident.” Phillippe wrote in the caption of his Instagram post Monday that he’s “going to be ok.” The picture shows him with a bandage on his leg and a swollen foot. He later tweeted that he broke his leg at a family outing Sunday and it required “surgical attention.” (AP)

Aaron Carter spoke out after his DUI arrest in Georgia on Saturday, lashing out on Twitter at brother Nick Carter. Nick tweeted Sunday afternoon: “To my brother: I love u no matter what & if u feel the need to reach for help, I am here.” Aaron later responded: “If my own blood (Nick) truly cared about my well-being, why wouldn’t he call me directly and have a conversation instead of making this about him through a very public forum?” (EXPRESS)
