Mission: Give the garden variety Nick Nelson | Landscape architect, United States Botanic Garden Much of the same planning that goes into a building’s architecture applies to a garden’s architecture, especially one as large and detailed as the fragrant, pleasantly humid, lush-as-can-be United States Botanic Garden. Though there is one obvious difference. “A garden can mature and evolve in a way that a building cannot,” says Nick Nelson, the botanic garden’s landscape architect. That and, well, plants die. While a staff of horticulturists maintain and manicure the botanic garden, Nelson spends the majority of his days in his office planning for his next project, like

the annual holiday display or orchid show. He often starts his concept drawings with pen and paper, and eventually switches to a computerized 3-D drawing tool for more detail. “I still do love the power of a hand sketch and a hand-drawn perspective,” he says. “Even though I’m not selling anything, I still need to sell people on my idea.” Though his mother was an avid gardener, it was high school golf that first piqued Nelson’s interest in turf management and design. That, plus his artistic ability, ultimately led him to study landscape architecture in

college. It wasn’t until his career began at Pennsylvania’s Longwood Gardens that he started to have more of an appreciation for plants. Since he got the landscape architect gig at the U.S. Botanic

Garden in 2008, he has developed all of the short- and long-term projects at the botanic garden. His favorite was designing the 16-foot urn that sits in front of the garden — a space that was originally going to be occupied by a large water feature. “We decided: we’re a garden, so let’s do a giant planter,” he says. Nelson takes a lot of pride in those types of permanent projects; the plants and exhibits that will be around for visitors to see for years. Though, given that he’s working with living things, he adds, “Nothing’s ever permanent here, that’s for sure.” ALLIE CAREN

Officials say the smear of microscopic organisms covering the dome of the Jefferson Memorial isn’t mold or soot — it’s biofilm — and they’re trying a new way to beat it. Last week, the National Park Service started testing a process called laser ablation. The stone absorbs energy from the laser and grows warm. As its temperature rises, the offensive gunk loosens its grip and evaporates. The biofilm was first spotted in 2006, and it’s grown progressively worse, despite various techniques to fight it.

TRANSPORTATION In a break with Metro General Manager Paul Wiedefeld, board chair Jack Evans says the agency should be pushing for $25 billion over 10 years to cover the system’s long-term needs, significantly more than the $15.5 billion the agency chief has requested. Evans said the additional money could be used for projects such as a second Potomac River tunnel to relieve chronic congestion and a permanent fix for water infiltration problems that create repeated arcing incidents on the Red Line.

Wiedefeld says Metro needs $15.5 billion over 10 years, including $500 million in annual dedicated funding. But at a Metro board meeting Thursday, he outlined $9.5 billion in anticipated needs not included. Evans criticized Wiedefeld’s approach, saying it allows the region’s leaders to balk at committing to funding Metro’s needs. “This will only keep us where we are right now, which is not a good place to be,” Evans said Sunday. “$15 billion ... gets you to where you are today. Nobody wants to be where we are today.”

Evans favors seeking $650 million a year in dedicated funding that would be raised through a regionwide penny-per-dollar sales tax, as recommended in April by a technical panel of the Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments. The plan faces numerous hurdles. Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan, a Republican, opposes raising any taxes for Metro, and Prince George’s County officials also are wary of a new tax. In Virginia, a GOP-controlled legislature is likely to oppose a tax hike.

Massage therapist arrested after sexual assault claim

Baltimore County exec enters race for governor

The lawyer for Virginia Beach says a Confederate monument outside an old courthouse cannot be moved. Virginia Beach city attorney Mark Stiles says a 1904 law bars war memorials in counties from being disturbed. He said that applies to Virginia Beach because the city originated as a county. Stiles said his interpretation fits with court opinions on the matter and as well as those of Virginia Attorney General Mark Herring. In an opinion issued last month, Herring said state law allows cities to move war memorials. Such laws have spawned an ongoing debate across Virginia over the memorials. (AP)

Gebreslassie was charged with first-degree sexual abuse, D.C. police said. Authorities are not aware of other similar cases. Massage Envy LLC said Gebreslassie was no longer employed by the company.

Loudoun wineries complain of thefts VIRGINIA Breaux Vineyards opened the spring wine-tasting season this year with a supply of 2,000 highend crystal wineglasses manufactured by Riedel. The popular winery in western Loudoun County has only about 200 of them left. Customers are stealing them, company Vice President Jen Breaux said. “It’s disheartening, because we want to give an experience that matches the setting,” she said. “And the public can make that kind of hard. You want people to taste out of a beautiful Riedel glass and have the full experience. But, quite frankly, losing 1,800 glasses is unacceptable.” Other Loudoun winemakers confirmed that theft by customers is a growing problem that cuts into their profits. “This time of year, we routinely lose at least one case of [25] wineglasses every weekend,” said Dave Greb, tasting room manager at North Gate Vineyard, near Purcellville. Kathy Clough, who manages the tasting room at Breaux Vineyards, said she once observed a young woman leaving “with a sweater full of glasses.” The problem isn’t limited to

wineglasses. Breaux said that customers routinely take cutting boards, bread knives and stainless steel ice buckets. “I’m down to six ice buckets,” she said. “I had 200 of them” a year ago. Breaux vented her frustrations to Nancy Bauer, who then addressed the issue of theft on her website, Virginia Wine in My Pocket. Bauer said that her subsequent article received the most traffic of any story she had ever posted on her website. She attributed some of the thefts of wineglasses to confusion as to who owns them. “It used to be the given that . . . you go to the winery, you taste the wine, they give you the glass,” Bauer said. Breaux said that she and her staff have discussed whether to include the wineglasses in the cost of the tasting. But she doesn’t think customers would want to pay the higher cost. Customers also have a misconception that the wineries can afford to take the loss, she said. “Wineries are … beautiful, and there’s a facade of luxury, but we are farms,” Breaux said. “It does hurt the bottom line. It hurts immensely.” JIM BARNES (FOR THE WASHINGTON POST)

U.S. Air Force bombers and U.S. and South Korean fighter jets fly over the Korean Peninsula in joint drills Monday.

U.S., allied planes send a message to N. Korea Bombers, stealth jets fly over Korean Peninsula in response to missile SOUTH KOREA The U.S. military flew advanced bombers and stealth jets over the Korean Peninsula and near Japan in drills with South Korean and Japanese warplanes on Monday, three days after North Korea fired a missile over Japan. The United States often sends powerful military aircraft in a show of force in times of heightened animosities with North Korea. The North launched its latest missile as it protested tough new U.N. sanctions over its sixth nuclear test Sept. 3.

Monday’s flyovers over the Korean Peninsula involved two B-1Bs and four F-35Bs from the U.S. and four F-15K fighter jets from South Korea, according to the two militaries. The U.S. and South Korean planes practiced attacks by releasing live weapons at a firing range in South Korea, the U.S. Pacific Command said. The command said U.S. planes also conducted formation training with Japanese fighters over waters near the island of Kyushu. Since Kim Jong Un took power in North Korea in 2011, his nation has tested weapons at a torrid pace. Many experts say it’s only a matter of time until Kim achieves his h stated objective

of possessing nuclear-tipped missiles capable of striking anywhere in the mainland U.S. Alarmed by North Korea’s advancing weapons programs, many conservatives in South Korea have called for the reintroduction of U.S. tactical nuclear weapons in the South. But the government of President Moon Jae-in said it has no intention of requesting that the U.S. bring back such weapons. South Korean Defense Minister Song Young-moo told lawmakers Monday that it is “not proper” to reintroduce U.S. nuclear weapons. He previously said the idea should be “deeply considered” by the allies, inflaming heated debate on the issue. HYUNG-JIN KIM (AP)

Destruction across the U.S. from hurricanes and wildfires has exposed several states’ lack of disaster funds.

reserves are low and budgets are tight, and states could easily struggle to pay for recovery. Even putting money into a disaster fund may not be enough. In Montana, where wildfires raged this summer, the firefighting costs so far have exceeded the amount set aside by $20 million.

The move is the latest from Iraq attempting to stop the vote. It was not immediately clear if the local government in the semi-autonomous Kurdish region would abide by Monday’s ruling. (AP)

A charter bus barreled through an intersection, slammed into a city bus and then plowed onto a sidewalk and into a building Monday, killing three people. Mayor Bill de Blasio noted that one of the people killed was a pedestrian walking down the sidewalk. The other dead were the tour bus driver and a passenger on the city bus. Sixteen others were hurt in the 6:15 a.m. crash in the Flushing area of Queens. (AP)

depleted, their rainy day funds to avoid massive cuts and maintain services during the recession. Several states have struggled to rebuild their savings since then. New Jersey’s rainy day fund has been empty since 2009. Pennsylvania’s is so small it would barely fund government operations for two hours, according to a study by Pew Charitable Trusts. Texas, hit hard by Hurricane Harvey last month, has the largest rainy day fund of any state — $10 billion — but state officials are keeping that as a last resort. Gov. Greg Abbott has

said he wants to consider what other funding might be available first. That could include tapping into money allocated to state agencies. Some 28 states have established special funds with disasters, but several are not funded, according to the National Emergency Management Association. California has a dedicated wildfire disaster fund, but already has used more than half the $427 million it set aside this year with Santa Ana wind season looming. CHRISTINA A.

ECONOMY A summer of natural catastrophes, from epic hurricanes to scorching wildfires, has exposed another peril in disaster-prone states: How to pay for the rescues, repairs and rebuilding. The combined tab from Hurricanes Harvey and Irma is expected to hit $200 billion or more. While the federal government is expected to pay most of that — up to 75 percent — the assistance is not guaranteed. That share could change. President Trump has proposed cutting the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s budget by $667 million, targeting grants that help state governments prepare for natural disasters. States vary on how prepared they are to weather such costs. Florida and South Carolina, both hit by Hurricane Irma, are among the dozen or so states that do not have dedicated disaster funds and opt to cover the expenses after the fact, potentially by dipping into reserves or shifting money from other state agencies. Experts say such pay-as-yougo disaster funding can be risky. Add an economic downturn when

Hurricane Jose triggers tropical storm watches from Delaware to Cape Cod in Massachusetts

CARIBBEAN Hurricane Maria grew into a Category 4 storm Monday as it barreled toward a potentially devastating collision with islands in the eastern Caribbean. Forecasters warned it was likely to grow even stronger. The storm was on a path that would take it near many of the islands already wrecked by Hurricane Irma and then toward a possible direct strike into Puerto Rico on Wednesday. “This storm promises to be catastrophic for our island,” said Ernesto Morales of the U.S. National Weather Service in San Juan. The U.S. territory, still facing major power outages, on Monday imposed rationing of supplies including water, milk, baby formula, canned foods, batteries and flashlights. Forecasters said the storm would dump up to 18 inches of rain across Puerto Rico and whip the island with heavy winds for 12 to 24 hours. The U.S. National Hurricane Center said Maria had maximum sustained winds of 125 mph Monday and was heading westnorthwest at 10 mph.Hurricane warnings were posted for the U.S. and British Virgin Islands, Guadeloupe, Dominica, St. Kitts, Nevis, Montserrat, Martinique and St. Lucia. A tropical storm warning was issued for Antigua and Barbuda, Saba, St. Eustatius, St. Maarten and Anguilla. Many islands closed schools and offices Monday and urged people to seek shelter.

Protesters interrupt House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi on Monday.

Immigrants protest Pelosi’s DACA plan SAN FRANCISCO Several dozen young immigrants shouted down Nancy Pelosi, the top Democrat in the House, at an event Monday in her hometown. The protest followed her recent talks with President Trump over the future of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, which grants legal status to about 800,000 young immigrants. “We are immigrant youth, undocumented and unafraid,” they shouted as they overtook an event Pelosi was holding to encourage passing legislation to preserve DACA protections. After smiling and occasionally trying to speak through much of the protest, Pelosi told the protesters to “just stop it, now” before she was led out of the room. She was scheduled to appear Monday afternoon in Sacramento

for a similar event. The protesters were demanding “a clean bill” — meaning that the Dream Act would get an upor-down vote on its own without any language regarding border security attached. They demanded that Pelosi show a commitment to protecting “all 11 million” undocumented immigrants believed to be in the country. Last week, Pelosi and Democratic Senate Leader Chuck Schumer of New York met with Trump twice and discussed a deal to extend the DACA program. Schumer and Pelosi said they reached a deal with the White House that did not include funding for Trump’s promised border wall. But the White House and Congressional Republicans say nothing is finalized. (AP/THE WASHINGTON POST)

Trump critical of U.N. President urges reform of organization and says U.S. will be partners in effort to make changes

Zinke to Trump: Shrink at least 4 national sites

the measure of the president in person. The president on Monday praised U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, who said he shared Trump’s vision for a less wasteful U.N. that will “live up to its full potential.” The U.S. has asked member nations to sign a declaration on U.N. reforms, and more than 120 have done so. True to form, the president also managed to work into his speech a reference to the Trumpbranded apartment tower across First Avenue from the U.N. His speech began a busy week of diplomacy for Trump, who is scheduled to meet separately with more than a dozen world leaders along the sidelines of the U.N. In his first bilateral meeting, with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Trump declared that they “are giving it an absolute go” on Middle East peace talks. JONATHAN LEMIRE

POLITICS Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke has recommended that President Trump modify 10 national monuments created by his predecessors, including shrinking the boundaries of at least four western sites, according to a copy of the report obtained by The Washington Post. The memorandum, which the White House has refused to release since Zinke submitted it late last month, does not specify exact reductions for the four protected areas Zinke would have Trump narrow — Utah’s Bears Ears, above, and Grand StaircaseEscalante, Nevada’s Gold Butte, and Oregon’s Cascade-Siskiyou — or the two marine national monuments — the Pacific Remote Islands and Rose Atoll — for which he raised the same prospect. The two Utah sites encompass a total of more than 3.2 million acres. Zinke’s recommendations would change how the targeted monuments are managed and say the administration should permit “traditional uses” now restricted within the boundaries, such as grazing, logging, coal mining and commercial fishing. The memorandum shows Zinke concluded after a nearly four-month review that both Republican and Democratic presidents went too far in recent decades in limiting commercial activities in protected areas. The White House is reviewing the recommendations and has not reached a final decision on them.

UNITED NATIONS President Trump used his United Nations debut Monday to prod the international organization to cut its bloated bureaucracy and sharpen its ill-defined mission. But he pledged U.S. support for the world body he had excoriated as a candidate, and his criticisms were more restrained than in years past. “In recent years, the United Nations has not reached its full potential due to bureaucracy and mismanagement,” Trump said. “We are not seeing the results in line with this investment.” The president urged the U.N. to focus “more on people and less on bureaucracy” and to change “business as usual and not be beholden to ways of the past which were not working.” He also suggested the U.S. was paying more than its fair share to keep the New York-based world body operational. The short remarks at a forum on U.N. reforms were a precursor to today’s main event, when Trump will address the U.N. General Assembly for the first time, a speech nervously awaited by world leaders concerned about what the president’s “America first” vision means for the future of the world body. Trump riffed on his campaign slogan when asked to preview his central message to the General Assembly, saying: “I think the main message is ‘make the United Nations great’ — not ‘again.’ ‘Make the United Nations great.’ “Such tremendous potential, and I think we’ll be able to do this,” he added. But even as the president

chastised the U.N., he pledged that the U.S. would “be partners in your work” to make the organization a more effective force for peace across the globe. He praised the U.N.’s early steps toward reform and made no threats to withdraw U.S. support. The president’s more measured tone stood in sharp contrast to the approach he took at NATO’s new Brussels headquarters in May, when he scolded member nations for not paying enough and refused to explicitly back its mutual defense pact. While running for office, Trump had labeled the U.N. as weak and incompetent, and not a friend of either the United States or Israel. But he has softened his message since taking office, telling ambassadors at a White House meeting in April that the U.N. has “tremendous potential.” Trump more recently has praised a pair of unanimous U.N. Security Council votes to tighten

A July 4 military parade? President Trump’s trip to France for the country’s Bastille Day parade in July left a big impression.

And he told reporters he is looking into the possibility of having a parade down the streets of Washington on Independence Day to show America’s “military strength.” “I was your guest at Bastille Day, and it was one of the greatest parades I’ve ever seen,” Trump told Macron.

Stephen Strasburg didn’t have his best stuff but still threw six innings of one-run ball Sunday.

THREE POINTERS

One more for the road

BARRY SVRLUGA | THE WASHINGTON POST

Key to the playoffs: Strasburg finally ready for October see, closely but clearly, that he’s been both excellent and the second-best pitcher on his team. Those numbers say he is an ace. Does that mean, when the postseason arrives, the Nationals have a weapon rather than a question mark? No one remembers starting pitching as the reason the Nats lost a five-game division series to the Dodgers last year. There was Jayson Werth out at the plate by a mile in Game 5, and Clayton Kershaw striding from the bullpen for a final confrontation with Daniel Murphy, and all the disappointment that followed. With Strasburg out with a torn pronator tendon, no Nationals starter other than Scherzer completed as many as five innings in the series. Their collective efforts, including Max: a 5.40 ERA. Now, add Strasburg to that mix. Not just the myth of Strasburg, the first overall pick in 2008 who has been burdened by that status. No, the actual Strasburg who is pitching, here and now. “He’s Stephen Strasburg. People expect this from him,” Werth said. “That’s what he’s supposed to do.” But no one is supposed to do what he’s doing now. Sunday was Strasburg’s sixth start since coming off the disabled list with a forearm impingement. His numbers over that stretch: a 0.66 ERA, 0.76 WHIP, .174 average against with

Preserve him with chemicals and encase him with bubble wrap, if need be. Whatever it takes. The Stephen Strasburg of 2017 is the best version yet. When healthy, he’s always been numerically outstanding, if occasionally frustrating. But the Nationals need to get this version, the one we’re seeing right now, to October. He could help mold the entire month. What Strasburg had Sunday in a 7-1 win over the Dodgers wasn’t his best stuff. “Curveball was OK,” he said. “Changeup was OK.” But his blah stuff can nearly kneecap the opposition. Six innings of three-hit, one-run ball against Los Angeles equals “OK.” What he is — and the reason he could help dictate the Nationals’ postseason — is the best No. 2 starter in baseball. Here are two pitchers’ stats: Pitcher A: 14-6, 2.59 ERA, 0.92 walks and hits per inning pitched (WHIP), 12.01 strikeouts per nine innings, .178 batting average against. Pitcher B: 14-4, 2.60 ERA, 1.03 WHIP, 10.51 strikeouts per nine, .205 average against. Pitcher A is pretty obviously Max Scherzer, the Nationals’ Cy Young-winning alpha male who will likely take the ball to start a division series. Pitcher B is Strasburg. You can study those numbers and

Before concluding the regular season with four home games against Pittsburgh, the Nats embark on a ninegame trip to face three divisional opponents. Here’s a look ahead.

Best co-aces Max Scherzer and Stephen Strasburg may be the top one-two punch in the playoffs. Like Strasburg, these teams’ second options are aces. B.S. Arizona: Left-hander Robbie Ray (14-5, 2.74 ERA) has held opposing batters to a .198 average, but Zack Greinke (17-6, 2.87) is the ace for the NL Wild Card-leading Diamondbacks. Cleveland: Carlos Carrasco (16-6, 3.48 ERA) is behind Cy Young contender Corey Kluber (17-4, 2.35). Houston: Justin Verlander was acquired from Detroit to add a complement to Dallas Keuchel (13-4, 2.96 ERA). In three starts with the Astros, Verlander is 3-0 and has given up two runs in 21 innings.

49 strikeouts in 41 innings. Think about pitchers who might start the second game of a playoff series. Strasburg tops them all. The Nats’ most likely

Colts rule out QB Andrew Luck (shoulder) for third game Sunday (vs. Browns)

division series opponent is the Cubs, so he’ll either face Jake Arrieta (3.48 ERA, 1.20 WHIP) or Jon Lester (4.30 ERA, 1.31 WHIP). The Dodgers’ Yu Darvish (4.08 ERA, 1.20 WHIP) will follow Kershaw. For all the regular-season excellence, the Nats have played 14 playoff games. Strasburg has pitched once, for five innings. He does not betray his feelings, hardly at all. And yet, the thought of October? “You could kind of smell it when it started to get cold,” Strasburg said. The Nationals will be there in October. They can kind of smell what that might be like. No other team in baseball sniffs that same scent. Get Strasburg to the postseason, healthy and strong, and see what he can do.

2 Nationals at Mets Friday through Sunday

REDSKINS When the Redskins signed Chris Thompson to a two-year extension five days before the start of the season, coach Jay Gruden voiced relief. The thought of not having the third-down back on the roster “scares the heck” out of him. Sunday’s 27-20 road victory over the Rams showed why. The Redskins never trailed, but the game was close because of missed opportunities: Runs that should have gained more; drops that could have sustained drives; a field-goal attempt that clanged off an upright; near sacks that Rams quarterback Jared Goff sidestepped; failure to anticipate a fake punt.

In some of the most tense moments, the back who stands 5 feet 8 and 191 pounds came up big. Thompson’s statistics Sunday — three carries for 77 yards and two touchdowns; three catches for 29 yards; a 16-yard kickoff return — hint at his versatility but don’t capture the blocks he threw for playmakers around him. Forced to settle for a field goal on their opening drive, the Redskins doubled down on the run on the next series. Kirk Cousins didn’t throw once, and Thompson capped the six-play drive by diving over the left pylon for a 7-yard touchdown. When the Redskins allowed the Rams to score 10 unanswered

points, Thompson answered. After Samaje Perine was stopped on first down, Cousins went to Thompson on the next three plays — passes of 10 and 4 yards and, on a draw play, a 61-yard TD run that restored a two-score margin, 20-10, at the half. Thompson credited his line for a play the team had barely practiced. “They made me look good,” he said. Thompson also took full blame e for dropping a ball that hit him m in the chest and could’ve been n a TD, adding to the many rea-sons he’s regarded as a greatt teammate: accountable, reli-able, hard-working and humble.

Tomlinson criticized Elliott for isolating himself on the sideline instead of leading his teammates. Elliott also did not try to tackle cornerback Chris Harris after an interception. Elliott did receive some good news Monday: A federal judge in Texas upheld an injunction blocking the NFL from enforcing its six-game suspension of Elliott for domestic violence. (TWP/AP)

Quinoa, meet convenience New grab-and-go products make whole grains easier to digest NUTRITION Whole grains are trending. The National Restaurant Association declared them one of the top 20 food trends of 2017, multiple surveys report that consumers are seeking them out, and thousands of grocery items have been reformulated to include more in the past year. That’s a good thing because there is a tall stack of research supporting the health benefits of eating whole grains. Even so, they don’t make it to the table enough. Part of that has to do with convenience. Although several whole-grain foods can be cooked quickly, many take an hour or more to prepare, and some require advance soaking. On top of that, many people are unfamiliar with easy ways to season and serve ancient grains. Happily, food companies are stepping up with innovative products that help bridge the gap.

Mediterranean flavors, faster The Mediterranean diet is renowned for its health benefits and deliciousness, and whole grains are part of that appeal. Ready to Eat Farro and Quinoa Meals by Cucina & Amore are portable cups of fully cooked farro blended, untraditionally but deliciously, with quinoa. The grain cups, which will be landing in stores this fall, come with a separate chamber of sauce and seasonings to mix in, with flavors such as grilled vegetable and herb, or artichoke, lemon and roasted garlic. Another find is Bulgur Pilaf from Wild Garden. It is a fully cooked, flavorful side dish of bulgur (cracked wheat) in a tomato sauce with Mediterranean herbs that’s based on a traditional Turkish recipe. It comes in a microwaveable pouch that takes 90 seconds to heat, and it would pair well with chicken breast or kebabs.

Just pop in the microwave and top with whatever you like — tofu, chicken, beans, edamame, avocado, carrot, leftover cooked vegetables — then add a drizzle of your favorite dressing, and lunch is served.

Easy overnight oats and vegetables — are all the rage nowadays. And when it comes to rice, red and black are the new brown. Several new products allow you to whip up a rice bowl in minutes with black (also called forbidden) or red rice, wholegrain varieties that are much more intriguing and have even more antioxidants than brown. Lundberg Family Farms now sells steamed, organic red jasmine rice in microwaveable pouches that you can keep in your cupboard; they not only make for an instant, fragrant rice-bowl base, but they can also be a quick side dish or bed for a stir-fry.

Although they are fairly simple to make, sometimes we just can’t get around to making overnight oats. Quaker’s new Overnight Oats in single-serve containers are a perfect short cut. They’re slightly sweeter than a homemade version but not overly sugary. You just add milk (and, optionally, a couple of tablespoons of yogurt for creaminess) to the container of oats, dried fruits, nuts, quinoa and flax. Then stir and let sit for at least 6 hours in the refrigerator, as you would with any overnight oat recipe. Add fresh fruit and nuts the next morning for extra flavor.

A study published la last week in Annals of IInternal Medicine found tthat sitting for long p periods of time — no m matter how much you e exercise — is a risk factor ffor early death, CNN rreports. The study, w which tracked 7,985 p participants aged 45 o or older for an average of four years with hip-mounted activity monitors, found that the longer you sit, the higher the risk of death. The researchers found that those who moved every 30 minutes had the lowest risk of early death. The researchers told CNN that “those who sat for more than 13 hours per day had a 2-fold [200 percent] greater risk of death compared to those who sat for less than about 11 hours per day.” The conclusion was the same for those who frequently sat for 90 minutes with no breaks, compared to those who took breaks.

My house is your house … for a price Q. My sister “Emily” and I live on the East Coast while our sister “Jane” lives out west, and Jane visits us several times a year and stays with Emily because she has a bigger place. Emily sometimes rents out that guest room on Airbnb and is thinking of asking Jane to pay when she stays, since it is “lost income” for Emily because she can’t rent it when Jane is there and it is often a holiday weekend. I think this is ridiculous and ungracious, so Emily says I should house Jane instead. OK, well, all I have is a futon for Jane. I don’t want Emily to even bring this up to Jane. STUCK IN THE MIDDLE Well, Jane herself could potentially have lost wages if she’s taking time off to visit you guys, and she’s presumably buying several cross-country plane tickets each year to see you. But in most families, this is moot, as bed-lending is just a given. Trying to bean-count that is usually against the spirit of adult siblings being there for each other in good times and bad. That said, this presumed natural reciprocity goes both

ways, so let’s say Emily is in a jam with money (is she?) and it really is an undue sacrifice to host Jane. So then, helping Emily out could take many forms, from both you and Jane — yes, the futon stay is one, but so is chipping in even more with meals and groceries, or leaving her a gift card. What I wish Emily knew, though? That it’s hard to be excited about doing something like that — or even visiting at all — if it’s demanded.

The guy I am seeing has no such concerns and lives to try new foods and enjoys eating until he feels overly stuffed and makes jokes about it. I am hesitant to dump this on him so soon, but I also feel like it’s a big elephant in the room, that I think very differently about this stuff than he does. IN RECOVERY

People often want an itinerary for bringing up certain things in a relationship. Noteworthy exes? Substance abuse issues? Money woes? An inability to use the bathroom while someone else is within a 10-mile radius? But there are of course no such right answers, since conversations among new daters should flow naturally and not unfold like a list of disclaimers on a power saw. Also, no two people are alike and no two disclosures have the same impact. A general rule is that when it feels like it’s become a “thing” (clinical term!) to have not said something yet, it’s time to say something. Seems like it here. But be proud of your history and your recovery; it’s not a shameful thing you must unload, but rather a part of you that makes you more nuanced than the next person at the buffet. Send questions to Dr. Andrea Bonior at baggage@wpost .com. Andrea is a local clinical psychologist and author of “Psychology: Essential Thinkers, Classic Theories, and How They Inform Your World.”

The Emmys affirmed what viewers already know: This is peak TV ANALYSIS This is us, up to our eyeballs in great television, and grateful for the distraction. At Sunday’s exuberant 69th Primetime Emmy Awards show, host Stephen Colbert stuck to this theme in his jaunty opening musical number. “My HBO Go password is SEXBOT 1-2-3,” he sang. “The world’s a little better on TV.” He was joined in cameo appearances from the likes of Julia Louis-Dreyfus and Tony Hale of “Veep,” along with a kick line of

dancers in “Handmaid’s Tale” robes and bonnets. The overall message this Emmy night? Hey, America, there’s never been a better time to tune out reality by tuning into — and collapsing into the comfort of — your multiple TV screens. “I think there are more movie stars here tonight than there were people who saw movies this summer,” Colbert joked, acknowledging a long emerging and now universal truth: TV is on top of the world. Even Oprah Winfrey, handing out the night’s final award, called television “the great survivor.” Isn’t it, though? While the best actress in a limited series category alone brought

ALBERTO E. RODRIGUEZ (GETTY IMAGES)

Television is on top of the world “Master of None” co-stars and writers Aziz Ansari and Lena Waithe took home the Emmy on Sunday for best writing on a comedy series.

this Emmy night up to Oscar-level anticipation and wattage (Nicole Kidman won for “Big Little Lies,” for example), a true testament to TV’s triumph came when Colbert noted the Emmys had improved its diversity record, reflected in the nominees. A segment midway through the show self-saluted TV’s effort to add more stories about everyone, made by and

starring everyone. Sure, TV still has a million miles to go, but, yes, hooray for progress. As if to underscore that point, the very next thing to happen was the comedy writing award, which went to Netflix’s “Master of None” co-stars and writers Aziz Ansari and Lena Waithe. Waithe is the first black woman to win an Emmy for writing on a comedy

series (and the first one to be nominated), which she accepted with emphatic style and grace. It is one thing to see diversity in the acting categories, but the real progress is finally beginning to happen behind the scenes, where shows are conceived, written, produced and directed. It’s hard to imagine that not so many years ago, a lot of the jokes at the Emmys were about the encroaching death of television. Now? “Netflix alone raked in 92 Emmy nominations this year,” Colbert noted in his opening monologue. “And may I remind you five years ago their hottest show was a scratched DVD of ‘Finding Nemo.’ ” It was the first Emmy night in a long time in which everything that was nominated seemed more than deserving. As always, some losses were difficult, but the fact remains, we’ve probably never had it so good. HANK STUEVER (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Linkin Park to play tribute concert for Bennington

MUSIC

Lady Gaga delays European tour Lady Gaga has postponed her world tour’s European leg due to “severe physical pain,” the tour’s promoter Live Nation said Monday. The six-week part of the “Joanne” world tour was to kick off this Thursday in Barcelona, Spain. Dates will be rescheduled for early 2018. Live Nation said the second leg of the North American tour will resume in November as planned. (AP)

The surviving members of Linkin Park will play a one-night-only concert in tribute to their late lead singer, Chester Bennington. The show will take place at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles on Oct. 27. Warner Bros. said individual band members will contribute their fees from the show to the band’s charity, Music For Relief, in Bennington’s honor. (AP)

trending

“This Twitter trumpeting is not the victory to embrace. This trending is ... pretending there isn’t huge work ahead. ... Pretending you know what the heck you’re tweeting about, Emmy watchers.” PETULA DVORAK, of The Washington

Post, scolding D.C. Public Schools for feeling honored that #DCPublicSchools was trending on Sunday night after alumnus Dave Chappelle, above, at the Emmys gave the district a shout-out, which was then amplified by John Oliver. “Likes, retweets and followers are hardly a measure of success,” Dvorak wrote.

“You’ve heard of Elf on the Shelf, now get ready for ... [Shrek on a deck].” @VIVAAUSVEGAS, tweeting a picture of Dreamworks character Shrek on a backyard deck. It’s a new meme where people share the caption, “You’ve heard of ‘Elf on the Shelf,’ ” a reference to the children’s holiday book, with a new rhyming image combination. The meme seemed to randomly pop up, but it inspired a lot of people to get creative with their rhymes. Other fictional characters got their due, like Professor Snape on a grape, from @soamusant in a reference to the “Harry Potter” character; and”The Office” character Michael Scott on a Tater Tot, from @ChanceHarbour. People came up with celebrity rhymes such as Drake on a cake, from @TheHashtag0nist; and RuPaul on a U-Haul from @OverDosinOnKaty.

“Here’s a photo of Ty Cobb & John Dowd casually & loudly discussing details of Russia investigation at BLT Steak while I sat at next table.”

“I can’t trust any of you anymore. Any one of you could be a fake account operated by Kevin Durant to push his agenda.”

@KENVOGEL, New York Times reporter Kenneth Vogel, tweeting the photo that went along with his serendipitous scoop. Vogel was eating lunch at BLT Steak, which is next to The Times’ D.C. office, when he realized he was sitting near two of President Trump’s lawyers, Ty Cobb and John Dowd. Vogel overheard the two talking about the Russia probe, even mentioning two documents that are “locked in a safe.”

@RODGER_SHERMAN, tweeting after basketball superstar Kevin Durant may have accidently given himself away for having fake Twitter accounts. On Sunday, Twitter user @ColeCashwell tweeted at Durant, asking why he left the Oklahoma City Thunder. Surprisingly, Durant responded directly — but he answered in third person. The tweet led people to believe Durant uses fake Twitter accounts to defend himself.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) A review of the facts will have you changing your mind about something you had been certain of. Surprises are in store. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You may be battling fatigue much of the day. Is this a sign that you are unwell, or simply uninterested? SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Someone is eager to pick up the pace, but it’s in your best interest to keep things from getting out of hand. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You may want to play it safe, but a friend or partner is eager to throw caution to the wind. Perhaps you can reach a compromise. MONDAY’S SOLUTION

TODAY: Fog is possible early on but probably less widespread than the previous two days. Skies become partly sunny, with highs in the upper 70s to low to mid-80s and a refreshing breeze from the north at 10 to 15 mph. The evening will be cloudy and pleasant. Lows range from near 60 in our cooler areas to the mid- to upper 60s downtown.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You may be asked to commit to something without knowing all the details. Get what you can from someone who has been there before. CANCER (June 21-July 22) Talking about key issues will enable you to see things from different perspectives. This, in turn, will allow you to sidestep a certain trap.
