THE DISTRICT Stanley Tapscott started driving a cab in the early 1960s, when man hadn’t yet been to the moon, the Watergate was under construction and John F. Kennedy was serving out his fabled thousand days. He’s been on the streets of Washington ever since. “I may not be the oldest one out there, but I’m close to it,” said Tapscott, who turns 90 this month and is the city’s second-oldest cabdriver. The eldest is a year older, according to D.C. Department of For-Hire Vehicles records. A single dad, former Navy Yard employee and chronic parttime cabdriver who took up the habit to help pay for his now69-year-old daughter’s college education, Tapscott “bumped the curb,” as he puts it, through many of the signature events of the 20th century. Tapscott, who is African-American, met the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. during a planning meeting for the March on Washington. “I didn’t have him in the cab,

though,” Tapscott said. He once drove a vice president but couldn’t remember which one. Even the most remarkable experiences of the past five decades can be a blur. Now, however, a career that has spanned 10 presidencies is ending, Tapscott said. Citing competition from ride-hailing services and what he characterized as the overregulation of the cab industry, he will hang up his meter and idle the cab he owns at the end of the year.
“It doesn’t matter your color or how you’re dressed. If you throw up your hand, it’s my job to pick you up.” STANLEY TAPSCOTT, on driving for Capital Cab in the 1970s, which he said was committed to giving rides to black people whom other companies would pass by. Tapscott is retiring at the end of this year.
“This used to be called a business,” he said. “They’ve taken it away from me.” On a recent weekday morning, business was not great, and Tapscott’s cab, a 2003 Lincoln Town Car with 152,000 miles, wasn’t sounding well. “I think it’s the catalytic converter,” he said as a churning sound erupted from the hood. The asthmatic Lincoln is a major factor in Tapscott’s decision to quit hacking. According to D.C. taxi regulations, cabs built before 2004 were supposed to be off the road Jan. 1, 2015. Tapscott’s cab is 13 years old, and his extension is about to expire. “I think I need to sit down and do nothing rather than waste my time,” he said. After helping a woman with a walker into her home off 16th Street NW, near the District line with Montgomery County, Tapscott also pointed out that what he had just done was an insurance risk. The new world order doesn’t seem to have space for a basic human gesture. “I just like giving good service,” Tapscott said, “because I’m going to get old one day.”

Pokémon’s ‘dual-edged sword’
BALTIMORE
12 protesters arrested at Md. police conference
OCCOQUAN, VA. They stream into the picturesque colonial town by the hundreds, day and night. Groups of teenagers. Couples on dates. A middleaged government worker just stopping by on her commute home along Interstate 95. They huddle in front of the town hall, gather on the boardwalk, cram onto the brick sidewalks and overflow into the street. They stare at their phones and flick their fingers across the screens in a zombielike rhythm that easily could be mistaken for a scene from a dystopian, tech-addled future. Pokémon Go’s augmented reality has brought them here to the tiny town of Occoquan, and Pokémon Go is augmenting Occoquan’s reality. This nearly three-century-old riverfront town in Virginia’s Prince William County has unwittingly become a hotbed for the new game, which is drawing droves of players to the town as they use their phones to capture make-believe creatures that are living in abundance among Occoquan’s real-life residents (all 1,016 of them). “It’s quite unbelievable,” Occoquan Mayor Elizabeth Quist said. “I get in traffic jams coming home from council meetings on Tuesday nights now. I can’t think of another time on a weeknight I’ve been six deep at a stop sign waiting for other people to go. That’s

Game brings tourists, along with concerns, to a small Va. town
“It’s quite unbelievable,” Occoquan Mayor Elizabeth Quist said of the crowds of Pokémon Go players that have descended at all hours of the day on the riverfront town of 1,016 in Virginia since the game’s July release.
a traffic jam for Occoquan.” Pokémon Go, a smartphone game released in the United States in July, allows players to catch animated Pokémon creatures in realworld locations. The creatures appear through the smartphone camera as players walk around. Because the town is on the banks of the Occoquan River, it is home to both land and water creatures in the game. And its historical markers make it conducive to housing lots of Pokémon. Occoquan’s newfound popularity has been a boon for the quaint restaurants and shops that line the town’s three-block main strip, as any kind of tourism brings in business. But residents in the D.C. suburb are now complaining that Occoquan has lost its
quiet vibe, and town officials are scrambling to figure out how to keep everyone safe. “You have 22-year-olds playing Pokémon at 2 a.m. and they find an emoji — or whatever the heck it is — and they’re going to make noise,” said Joe McGuire, a town council member. “Now we have residents complaining about it.” Occoquan’s denizens are demanding a way to make it all stop. They speak of parents struggling to put young children to sleep because of all the Pokémon-related chatter outside their homes, and they worry about the drivers who have been playing Pokémon Go while behind the wheel, careening down one-way streets in the wrong direction. “You can’t resist. You just
come down here and it’s Pokémon heaven,” said Laurie Lemons, who lives nearby and has been stopping in Occoquan after work. “You hit the jackpot.” McGuire acknowledged that this is all good for the town’s economy, as city leaders had been looking for ways to boost retail traffic. But the Pokémon crowds, he said, are too much for the town to handle. Trash and beer cans are often strewn across the sidewalks and residents’ stoops, and there are safety concerns. “It’s a dual-edged sword for us. It gives us a lot more exposure; people are discussing the town for the first time,” he said. “We were trying to get more people here, but this is just inundation, suddenly.” PERRY STEIN (THE WASHINGTON POST)

SILVER SPRING A fourth body has been found at a Silver Spring apartment building that was nearly leveled in an explosion Wednesday night, authorities said Sunday. Eight people were unaccounted for after the explosion, which left at least four dead, more than 30 injured and about 100 displaced. Two bodies were recovered Thursday, but officials said at the time several more were missing. Montgomery County Executive Isiah Leggett said natural gas may be a contributing factor in the incident, but officials said Sunday they were not prepared to discuss the cause. The explosion, just before midnight, rocked a Silver Spring apartment block and sent debris flying hundreds of feet away. The building was nearly leveled, and it took until Thursday evening for investigators to stabilize it and recover and remove two bodies. The body of a third victim was found Friday. “We are working to have answers to questions as soon as possible,” Leggett said at a Sunday

The video shows a militant warning in the Hausa language that if President Muhammadu Buhari’s government battles Boko Haram with firepower, the

The Nigerian government came under increased pressure from parents and Bring Back Our Girls campaigners after the May escape of one young woman, who said some of the girls had died but scores remained in captivity under heavy guard.

LIVINGSTON, LA. In high-water vehicles, boats and helicopters, emergency crews worked Sunday to rescue scores of south Louisiana residents from deadly flooding as the governor warned that it was “not over.” From the air, homes in southwest Louisiana looked more like little islands surrounded by flooded fields. Farmland was covered, streets devolved into impassable pools of water, and shopping centers were inundated with only roofs of cars peeking above the water. From the ground it was just as catastrophic. Drivers tried to navigate treacherous roads where the water lapped at the side or covered the asphalt in a running stream. Abandoned cars were pushed to the side of the road. Lawn furniture and children’s toys floated through the waters. Gov. John Bel Edwards said Sunday that at least 7,000 people have been rescued so far. Edwards said the “historic” storm

“subsided in its intensity” but called on people to refrain from going out to “sightsee” even as the weather gets better. “This is a serious event. It is ongoing. It is not over,” the governor said, emphasizing that in some areas water is still rising. He said the fatalities have not risen from the three dead reported Saturday. One person is unaccounted for. Police were still rescuing about 1,000 people from cars stranded on a miles-long stretch of Interstate 12 on Sunday. Two nursing
homes were also being evacuated. Mike Steele, spokesman for the Governor’s Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness, said the flooding that started Friday and reached up to 17 inches in some areas has damaged more than 1,000 homes in East Baton Rouge Parish, more than 1,000 in Livingston Parish and hundreds more in other areas.

Protesters set cars and businesses on fire after a police officer fatally shot a Milwaukee man Saturday.
National Guard on alert after Milwaukee protest Mayor says footage shows man shot by police was holding gun MILWAUKEE Wisconsin’s governor put the National Guard on alert Sunday in case of another outbreak of violence in Milwaukee, after a deadly police shooting touched off a night of arson and rock-throwing in a mostly black neighborhood. At least four businesses were burned and an officer was hurt by a thrown brick in the unrest that erupted on the city’s north side Saturday night a few hours after the killing of a man authorities say was armed and fleeing a traffic stop.
A Milwaukee alderman called the resulting melee a warning from black residents “tired of living under this oppression.” Milwaukee police Chief Ed Flynn identified Sylville Smith as the man shot by police. Mayor Tom Barrett said it was clear from police body-camera footage that Smith was holding a gun when he was shot several times. “It was in his hand. He was raising up with it,” Flynn said Sunday. Barrett said, “The police officer didn’t know it at the time, but there were 23 rounds in that gun.” Gov. Scott Walker activated the National Guard, saying it would help upon request, calling for “continued peace and prayer.”
Sunday morning, about three dozen volunteers swept up glass and filled trash bags with rocks, bricks and bottles at the intersection where a gas station burned to the ground and bus shelters were knocked over. Darlene Rose, 31, said she understands the anger that fueled the violence, but that it doesn’t help. “I feel like if you’re going to make a difference, it’s got to be an organized difference,” Rose said. “The people that came and looted, you’re not going to see them here today.” Three protesters were arrested. At one point Saturday evening, as many as 100 protesters surged against a line of 20 to 30 officers. GRETCHEN EHLKE (AP)

Any computer user has probably experienced “password rage” at some point — whether it’s a forgotten eight-character alphanumeric string or a password that your IT department mandates changing regularly. But a new standard is emerging for passwords: passphrases. These can be a string of regular words in a sentence, up to 64 characters in some systems, that are easier for the user to remember, but harder for hackers. Non sequiturs work well.

Study: More pot users are smoking daily A massive study published this month in the Journal of Drug Issues found that the proportion of marijuana users who smoke daily has rapidly grown, and that many of those frequent users are poor and lack a high school diploma. Examining a decade of federal surveys of drug use conducted from 2002 to 2013, study authors Steven Davenport and Jonathan Caulkins examined the demographics of current marijuana use in the United States. They found that the profile of marijuana users is much closer to cigarette smokers than alcohol drinkers. “What’s going on here is that over the last 20 years marijuana went from being used like alcohol to being used more like tobacco, in the sense of lots of people using it every day,” Caulkins said in an email. Adults with less than a high school education accounted for 19 percent of all marijuana use in 2012 and 2013 (compared with 13 percent of the total adult population), according to the survey. This is similar to their 20 percent share of all cigarette use, but considerably higher than their 8 percent share of all alcohol use. Among the lower-income groups, users who spend fully one-quarter of their income on weed account for 15 percent of all marijuana use. CHRISTOPHER INGRAHAM

POLITICS Donald Trump’s presidential campaign is taking even sharper aim at what it sees as one of its biggest foes — the news media. In Pennsylvania on Friday, the candidate labeled reporters the “lowest form of humanity” and said the news media are piling on him and doing the bidding of Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton. On Sunday morning, Trump tweeted, “If the disgusting and corrupt media covered me honestly and didn’t put false meaning into the words I say, I would be beating Hillary by 20%.” The barbs came after a week in which Trump asserted that President Obama is the “founder” of the Islamic State militant group, a false claim he intensified and then backed away from by deeming it sarcasm. He also seemed to suggest that gun owners take action if Clinton won and appointed judges who favor gun control. Trump also saw his poll numbers drop — a Wall Street Journal/NBC News/Marist poll released Friday shows that besides Clinton’s lead nationally, she has opened a wide lead over Trump in the battleground states of Colorado, North Carolina and Virginia. Trump also trails Clinton in Florida, according to the poll. “I’m not running against crooked Hillary Clinton,” Trump
Donald Trump took aim at what he called “the cooked media” during a campaign rally Saturday in Fairfield, Conn.
said in Fairfield, Conn., on Saturday night. “I’m running against the crooked media.” His campaign has recently started emailing stories and screen shots of websites overlaid with the words “media bias offender” in large red letters. In an interview on CNN’s “State of the Union” that aired Sunday, Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort said the news media, and interviewer Jake Tapper, deliberately didn’t cover a speech Trump made on economic policy last week and instead focused on attacking him. Manafort said that only local media covered Trump’s rallies in swing states the past week and that the media didn’t report on
newly released emails that provided additional evidence that Clinton Foundation donors got access at the State Department. Tapper said Manafort’s claims that CNN did not cover Trump’s economic speech or the release of the new Clinton emails are clearly false. And Tapper pointed out that it wasn’t just the news media that questioned Trump’s stances, but also fellow Republicans and Trump supporters. Trump and Manafort took particular aim at The New York Times. The paper said in a story this past weekend that Trump’s advisers are resigned to the fact that he cannot stick to plans to change and to stop provoking others and that his mood in private
is “sullen and erratic.” The paper also said he agonizes over his relationship with the media. He responded on Twitter: “The failing @nytimes talks about anonymous sources and meetings that never happened. Their reporting is fiction. The media protects Hillary!” Trump has barred several publications, including The Washington Post, from his rallies. On Saturday in Connecticut, he threatened to add The New York Times to the list. Campaign spokesman Jason Miller said Sunday on CNN that the bans are in place because the campaign has to “stand up and defend ourselves” from biased reporting. KATIE ZEZIMA (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Northern California wildfire destroys four homes as crews evacuate up to 1,200 people from the area
MANILA, PHILIPPINES Hundreds of Filipinos rallied in stormy weather Sunday against President Rodrigo Duterte’s decision to allow dictator Ferdinand Marcos to be buried in a heroes’ cemetery, but Duterte remained firm in his stance despite growing opposition. Loretta Ann Rosales, who formerly headed the government’s Commission on Human Rights, said at the rally that she was tortured and molested along with thousands of other detained left-wing activists under Marcos during a dark era that clearly shows why he does not deserve to be accorded any state honors. The idea of burying a dictator accused of massive rights violations and plunder at the heroes’ cemetery has long been an emotional and divisive issue in the Philippines, where Marcos was ousted by a revolt in 1986. He was flown to Hawaii, where he lived with his wife and children in exile until he died in 1989. His remains were later returned to his northern Philippine hometown and displayed in a glass coffin. His wife, Imelda, gradually regained political influence. Duterte, who took office June 30, argues that Marcos qualifies to be buried at the military-run cemetery as a former soldier and president. Duterte has disclosed that he once voted for Marcos and that his late father served in Marcos’ cabinet. The burial is tentatively set for next month. JIM GOMEZ (AP)

Michael Phelps has already backtracked once on a vow to retire from Olympic competition.

STARS OF THE GAMES
SALLY JENKINS | THE WASHINGTON POST
Retirement itches: Phelps wired for Tokyo comeback Michael Phelps belongs to that separate species of alltime greats, and they’re the most discontented people on earth, incapable of leaving their energy unspent. You saw his face when he was taunted, and you saw him leap through the water like a marlin to get to the wall. If Phelps thinks he has anything left in that long body, we will see him in four years in Tokyo. You can be sure of it. “The itches,” were the words Michael Jordan once used to describe the urge to compete.
What if Phelps decides he hasn’t yet touched the bottom of his talent? Picture him four years from now threshing through the water at the age of 35. He swears it won’t happen, but he has sworn he was done before, and he was just bored. “Last time was his last, this time was his last, and I get to say I was on the same team twice when he retired,” Katie Ledecky said teasingly before Phelps made his final relay swim Saturday in Rio. “Maybe there will be a third time. All records are made to be broken.” Ryan Lochte, one of Phelps’ roommates in Rio, even told
NBC that he “guaranteed” Phelps would appear in a sixth Olympics. For an example of what’s possible, look no further than Anthony Ervin, who at 35 reclaimed the 50-meter freestyle title for the U.S. 16 years after he first won gold in Sydney. Ervin was 19 when he won gold in Sydney, where Phelps was a 15-year-old comer. By 2003 Ervin was tired. He walked away, joined a band and abused alcohol and various chemical substances. Phelps was in a similar place a few years back, a halfhearted swimmer whose only form of relaxation seemed to come from a pipe or a bottle. When he competed, other swimmers regarded him as aloof and unsociable. “Being Michael required such isolation,” Ervin observed. For Phelps, the results of personal healing and sobriety are obvious. He came to Rio as a far more buoyant person — and swimmer. It’s not just a matter of his personal
happiness as a father and soonto-be-husband. Phelps has discovered that he can swim without his old grim concentrated defenses — and binges. In Rio, he has engaged with his fellow swimmers, especially younger Americans. He found out he could actually enjoy the Olympic experience, even laugh about it. “It wasn’t like a fake laugh. ... I was actually enjoying myself, and we were telling jokes with one another,” Phelps said. “That’s what I didn’t have in 2012.” If Phelps believes that he has no more of these efforts in him, then he is right to retire. But Ervin believes in four years Phelps can still be viable — and more importantly, that his titanic presence could be valuable to younger swimmers. Everyone needs a purpose. Maybe Phelps will find a new one as a mentor. Sally Jenkins is a columnist for The Washington Post. Read more of her work at washingtonpost.com
MYSTERY SOLVED

Hydrogen peroxide caused pools to turn green
The improper dumping of 80 liters of hydrogen peroxide into two competition pools was the cause of the water’s unnatural green color, said Mario Andrada, chief spokesman for the Rio Games. The plan to remedy a pool hosting synchronized swimming and water polo was to drain the 3.725 million liters of oddly bluish-green water and to replace it with unaffected water pumped from adjacent pools.

Biles vaults to her third gold medal WOMEN’S GYMNASTICS American Simone Biles collected a third gold in as many events — this one, on vault, the apparatus that most closely resembles the sofa and upholstered chairs that served as her launching pad so many years ago. She outscored her nearest competitor by 0.700 points Sunday at Rio Olympic Arena. That’s a staggering margin, and Biles earned it on two of the sport’s most difficult vaults — the Amanar and Chen — to finish with a score of 15.966. Russia’s Maria Paseka took silver (15.253) and Switzerland’s Giulia Steingrube claimed bronze (15.216). Gymnasts are required to perform two different vaults in the Olympic apparatus final, with
the average of the two scores serving as their final mark. And Biles, who entered the eight-woman final with the highest qualifying score, was last to go, which gave her the benefit of knowing the mark to beat — Paseka’s 15.253. Biles’ two-and-half-twisting Amanar came first, earning 15.900. She could have easily opted for something safe after that, but followed with the even more difficult Chen. She earned even higher marks for that. India’s Dipa Karmakar (fourth place) and 41-year-old Ukrainian Oksana Chusovitina attempted the “vault of death,” which demands two-and-a-half somersaults. Neither landed it cleanly.
Ryan Lochte, below, and three other members of the U.S. swimming team were robbed at gunpoint “by individuals posing as armed police officers” in Brazil, the U.S. Olympic Committee said Sunday. Gunnar Bentz, Jimmy Feigen and Jack Conger were with Lochte in a taxi that was held up for the “athletes’ money and other personal belongings,” USOC spokesman Patrick Sandusky said. All four athletes are now safe. Before USOC confirmed the news, Mark Adams, the IOC’s director of communications, told reporters the report of the robbery was “not true.” But Lochte’s mother confirmed it, and the gold medalist later told NBC the robbers put a gun against his forehead.

‘Ball security is job security’ Fumbling problems are a focus for Jones as he takes over at tailback
Revised lineup includes Harper in Nats’ victory
BRYNN ANDERSON (AP)
REDSKINS The mass of men in front of Matt Jones surged together in a diagonal line, moving the play toward the section of fans roped off a few feet away from the field. After taking a handoff from Kirk Cousins during a training camp scrimmage Saturday in Richmond, Jones hunched forward to hide behind his linemen, cut back against the grain and burst forward while covering the football with two hands. About an hour later — after he had finished signing autographs — Jones talked about the most important lessons he’s learned as he enters his first season as the starting running back. “Ball security is job security,” Jones said, revealing a smile with two gold teeth glinting in the sun. “The second thing I learned is, if you can’t protect Kirk [Cousins], you will not play.” Improving his pass protection and eliminating a propensity to fumble are two ways the 23-yearold seeks to mature. Listed at 6-foot-2 and 232 pounds, he has the rare build to be a workhorse in the NFL. While the Redskins see potential, critics have pointed to the backfield as a potential weak spot for the team. As a rookie last season, Jones split time with Alfred Morris and showed enough promise for Washington to let the veteran
In his second year, running back Matt Jones hopes to cut down on fumbles and improve in pass protection.
walk in free agency. Jones rushed for 490 yards and three touchdowns in 13 games. At times, he looked both rugged and explosive. He also fumbled four times, missed time with various injuries and finished the year averaging just 3.4 yards per carry. By letting Morris leave and not signing a proven rusher to compete with Jones, the Redskins are betting on their young back. GM Scot McCloughan has singled out Jones as a breakout candidate. For Jones to come through, he knows he must hold onto the football. To work on that issue, he said running backs coach Randy Jordan gave him a special ball that emits loud beeps until Jones squeezes it with enough
pressure. While Jones said he still sees himself on film casually covering the ball, he has used those observations as reminders to emphasizes a two-handed technique in practice. During Washington’s preseason opener in Atlanta on Thursday, a game left tackle Trent Williams missed with knee soreness, the Redskins’ top three running backs gained a net total of 0 yards on seven carries. Jones had 1 yard on two carries and saw a 12-yard gain called back for holding. Center Kory Lichtensteiger, who was held out of practice Saturday with a sore arm, said the lack of production against the Falcons was symptomatic of early-season inexperience.
“I think it’s one of those things where you work on it in practice, and we didn’t truly know how it was going to look until you get live action at it,” he said. “Having seen that, we know what we need to improve on.” On Saturday, Jones was not concerned. Instead, he was eager to get back on the field Friday against the Jets at FedEx Field for “a quarter or two” to prove the team’s confidence in him is well-founded. He believes he can thrive in a featured role. Washington’s offense is depending on it. “There’s no pressure at all,” Jones said. “I feel like my ability is going to take me wherever I need to go.” GABE HIATT (EXPRESS)

“Unfortunately, the business of baseball is you have to cut ... a really good teammate like Jonathan Papelbon” NATIONALS GM MIKE RIZZO, on releasing the controversial closer Saturday.

NATIONALS 9, BRAVES 1 Bryce Harper, above, hit an RBI double in his return to the lineup, Tanner Roark won his fourth straight start and the Nationals beat the Braves 9-1 on Sunday in Washington. After missing five games with a neck injury, Harper was set to sit out another. The reigning NL MVP wasn’t in the original lineup, but the Nationals issued a revised list 90 minutes before the scheduled start. Harper started in right field and finished 1-for-3 with a walk. He also scored twice Sunday after general manager Mike Rizzo said results of an MRI on Harper’s stiff neck were “clean.” Trea Turner, who was a double short of the cycle in Saturday’s 7-6 win, led off with a two-base hit and scored on Ben Revere’s single. Revere took second on a throwing error, and Harper lofted a double into the left-field corner to send him home before later scoring on Anthony Rendon’s sacrifice fly for a 3-0 lead. Those three earned runs were one more than Atlanta starter Tyrell Jenkins allowed in his past three starts. The right-hander gave up seven runs and six hits over 4 ⅔ innings. He exited after Rendon hit a three-run homer to cap a four-run fifth inning. Roark (13-6) allowed one run over seven innings and improved to 4-0 with a 1.65 ERA over his past four starts. Max Scherzer (12-7, 2.80 ERA) starts today at Colorado. BENJAMIN STANDIG (AP)

MUST-SEE THIS WEEK
1 ‘My Last Days’ 9 p.m. Wednesday on CW
Searching for rhythm Netflix’s ‘The Get Down’ has plenty of style, but is sorely lacking in substance STREAMING “The Get Down,” a lavish but frenetically flawed Netflix series from film director Baz Luhrmann and a host of collaborators, is on a hunt to mythologize and celebrate the nascent days of hip-hop, as seen through a fictional group of young Bronx teenagers in the sweltering summer of 1977. It’s undeniably interesting to watch, but what a mess. The first episode melds Luhrmann’s visual and aural elegance (his films include “Moulin Rouge” and “The Great Gatsby”) with a sincere reverence for his subject matter. The colors, the sounds, the vibe of the show — it’s all over the place, adhering to no fixed structure or momentum. It oozes originality, while
acknowledging that the hip-hop beat (known to these kids as “the get down”), at its essence, is a product of excessive borrowing, sampling and mixing. As its protagonists play with borrowing and sampling in their music, “The Get Down’s” visuals show a similar method of mixing from every possible source, from the conflict ballets of “West Side Story” to the junkyard ethics of “Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids.” To that you can add the Eastern mysticism of martial arts movies, the full glory of Travolta-era disco and the “Ford to City: Drop Dead” days of New York’s urban malaise. “The Get Down” is about the unlikely friendship between Ezekiel “Books” Figuero (Justice
Help from the pros Baz Luhrmann’s team on “The Get Down” included hip-hop legends Grandmaster Flash as associate producer and Nas as executive producer. Nas also wrote all the lyrics, including poems and battle raps, that will appear in each episode of “The Get Down.” “His raps are very well-written narratives,” Luhrmann said. (AP).
Smith), a gifted but unmotivated teenager, and Shaolin Fantastic (Shameik Moore). The two desire to form a DJ crew to produce beats and rhymes that may one day rival that of their hero, Grandmaster Flash (Mamoudou Athie).
The boys make an early, dangerous mistake when they come into a bootleg cassette of one of Grandmaster Flash’s sets and charge admission to a dance party at which they set up two turntables and pretend the music is theirs. They are caught faking it and must work to restore their credibility in the neighborhood. There are some real problems here — the writing, dialogue, structure and uneven performances, to name a few — that a flair for art direction cannot solve. (There are six episodes now; another six are expected next year.) For now, “The Get Down” is an exercise in glorious imperfection: It’s got the beat, but it’s still grasping for the tone.

Will the contestant match the celebs and win some cash? Becky says, “Hamburger.” Jack McBrayer of “30 Rock” writes, “Big Mac.” Bingo!

like “That’s My Jam” — or “things that people get stuck in.” There’s a team consisting of a famous person (Martha Stewart! Snoop Dogg!) and an ordinary human. One team member comes up with clues to help the other guess a word that fits the category. Clue: “Santa comes down it.” Answer: “The chimney.” One might have predicted low ratings for these lowbrow programs. But they’re winning their time slots, with audiences typically in the 6 million to 8 million range. While the current cycle ends in September, the shows will all be back. As “Match Game” might put it, “Dumb Dora is so dumb she thought it was dumb to bring back old game shows and could not have foreseen that the sophisticated 21st-century viewing audience would love them even though they are kind of ______________.” Readers, I leave it to you to fill in the blank!

TMZ on Friday published a video, possibly taken by Amber Heard, of an enraged Johnny Depp smashing and kicking cabinets in their home. Depp and Heard have been in court fighting over the terms of their divorce for the past month. Heard has claimed that Depp was verbally and physically abusive during their marriage. In the video, Heard tries to calm Depp down as he pours a large glass of wine and appears to destroy kitchen cabinets in frustration. The video ends as Depp grabs the phone after realizing he’s been recorded. Heard wrote in a statement to Us Weekly that she is not responsible for releasing the video to TMZ. (EXPRESS)

《 JOINT DECLARATION 》 TaiPing Island, an area of 0.49 square kilometers, is the largest natural island in the Spratlys, has an inexhaustible well of fresh water on the island, beautiful white sand beaches, and a coconut grove producing coconuts every year. On July 12th, 2016, Taiwan’s Coast Guard Administration issued a press release noting that there are defense forces living on TaiPing The absurdity of the above r uling on Taiping Island is heightened by Japan’s claims about Red Bird Reef (Okino Tori Shima). Japan describes this reef as "the height of about 1 meter, made up of two rocks several meters in diameter". At high tide, there are only two rocks sticking out of the water, the Dong Louyan (called by Japan "East Island") and Bei Lu Yan (called by Japan "West Island"), respectively 1.6m 2 and 6.4m 2 . Japan claims these barren rocks of Red Bird Reef to be an island, and, based on this absurd judgment, claims 4.7 million square miles of exclusive economic zone and about 25.5 million square kilometers of the outer continental shelf. Since 1987, Japan has surrounded these tiny rocks with concrete to make larger platforms, turning the original rocks, which were less than 10 square meters, into artificial islands. However, according to UNCLOS, claims for an exclusive economic zone must be based on natural islands, not artificial islands. Red Bird Reef is not available for humans to live, cannot maintain economic life, and is thus not an island according to UNCLOS. Article 121 of UNCLOS notes that an island is above water at high tide and is a naturally formed land area. Rocks such as Red Bird Reef cannot sustain human life; therefore, they should not be included as
islands, and they cannot claim an exclusive economic zone or continental shelf. In April 25th 2016, the Japanese Coast Guard illegally seized an ROC
Island. Their daily life on the island is secure and safe. TaiPing island fulfills the definition of an island according to the provisions of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS). Now the ridiculous political farce of the South China Sea Arbitration decides this island is a reef.
We Can Not Accept It !!!
