Q: using ExternalContext.dispatch in JSF error handler causes corrupt page rendering Simplified, my error handler looks like this:
@Override
public void handle() throws FacesException {
    Iterator<ExceptionQueuedEvent> unhandledExceptionQueuedEvents = getUnhandledExceptionQueuedEvents().iterator();
    FacesContext context = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();

    if (unhandledExceptionQueuedEvents.hasNext()) {
        Throwable exception = unhandledExceptionQueuedEvents.next().getContext().getException();
        unhandledExceptionQueuedEvents.remove();
        context.getExternalContext().dispatch("/error.jsf");
    }

    while (unhandledExceptionQueuedEvents.hasNext()) {
        unhandledExceptionQueuedEvents.next();
        unhandledExceptionQueuedEvents.remove();
    }
}

simplified template.xhtml

    <f:view>
    <h:head>

    </h:head>
    <h:body>

            <ui:insert name="body"></ui:insert>

    </h:body>
    </f:view>

error.xhtml

<ui:composition template="/template.xhtml">
    <ui:define name="body">
        ERROR
    </ui:define>
</ui:composition>

But when rendering error.jsf, templating with ui:composition goes very wrong. JSF renders template.xhtml up until around the , where it starts rendering the template all over again. The result is a page where menus are rendered twice, and all resources are included once again in the middle of the page. The start of it looks something like this:

<div<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?="">

This is followed by an infinite loop on the server, causing millions of log rows containing the following bit over and over again

Any idea of what the cause could be?

A: You should not use ExternalContext#dispatch() to render a JSF view. It should only be used to forward to a non-JSF resource. You should instead set the desired JSF view by FacesContext#setViewRoot() and let JSF render it.
ViewHandler viewHandler = context.getApplication().getViewHandler();
UIViewRoot viewRoot = viewHandler.createView(context, viewId);
context.setViewRoot(viewRoot);
context.renderResponse();

Or, if you're currently already sitting in the render response, then it's too late to let JSF re-render it. You'd need to build and render the new view manually. In that case, replace the last line by:
ViewDeclarationLanguage vdl = viewHandler.getViewDeclarationLanguage(context, viewId);
vdl.buildView(context, viewRoot);
context.getApplication().publishEvent(context, PreRenderViewEvent.class, viewRoot);
vdl.renderView(context, viewRoot);
context.responseComplete();

Note that this is in turn too late if the response is already committed. You may want to check that beforehand as well.
You may find the source code of the OmniFaces FullAjaxExceptionHandler helpful to get some insight.

For 79 years, Maryland's state song has called Northerners 'scum.' That may change soon
By Lawrence Crook III, CNN
Updated 1:10 PM EDT, Thu March 15, 2018
Maryland lawmakers are weighing a bill that would retire the pro-Confederacy state song.

For almost eight decades, the official state song of Maryland has been a Confederate ballad whose lyrics call Unionists "Northern scum" and President Abraham Lincoln a "despot" and a "tyrant."
On Wednesday, Maryland's Senate gave preliminary approval to a bill that would retire the controversial song.
The bill's sponsor is seeking to demote "Maryland, My Maryland" from "official" to "historic," effectively retiring it and opening the door to a new state song.
In her bill, Sen. Cheryl Kagan (D) wrote, "it is imperative that the current State song be retired and that a new State song be adopted that honors the past, celebrates the present, and anticipates the bright future of this State and its residents."
Critics have long argued the state song, adopted in 1939, celebrates the Confederacy and is contrary to the ideals and values Marylanders have today. Recent debate over the song comes as some US cities and states have removed symbols of their Confederate past, which are seen by many as racist.
On the state's official website, the song is described as a nine-stanza poem written by James Ryder Randall in April of 1861, near the beginning of the Civil War. Randall, a native of Louisiana, was outraged at the news of Union troops marching through Baltimore.

The poem articulated Randall's Confederate sympathies and also refers to the phrase, "sic semper tyrannis," a rebels' rallying cry, which John Wilkes Booth reportedly shouted in Ford's Theatre after fatally shooting President Lincoln in 1865.
For those who haven't heard the song, it's sung to the traditional tune of "O, Tannenbaum" and is often performed at major events in the state, such as the annual Preakness Stakes in Baltimore.
Over the years public criticism of "Maryland, My Maryland" has grown, and a number of proposals have been introduced to modify or replace the song. But the current bill on the Senate floor has been the only one to pass a preliminary approval vote.
In August, the University of Maryland marching band announced they will no longer play the song before Terrapin football games.
While the bill received preliminary approval, it passed only by a narrow 25-19 vote. The bill faces a vote for final approval later this week.

In March, we're releasing a number of balance tweaks and we would love your feedback.
The current state of Scripted Warp Disruption Field Generators is a little too oppressive, especially to the small gang PvP scene. We'd like to open up propulsion module options. As such, we're going to make some changes.
The blueprint for the Focused Warp Scrambling Script will be available at all the same place & price as the Focused Warp Disruption Script blueprint is available.
Q:Can both scripts (Scrambling and Disrupting) still point a titan?
Q:Will links continue to not effect range?
Q:What is the new cycle time?
A: The cycle time hasn't changed. The new scrambling script has the same cycle time as the disruption script.
Q:Will either of the scripted points keep caps from jumping gates?
A: Yes, both the scrambling script and disruption script will stop capitals from jumping gates.
She's mad but she's magic, there's no lie in her fire.
Did the ultra risk-averse 5,000 m/sec kiting people cry too loud?
due to the longer cycle time this isn't such a bad idea.
Yay! Now I can fly something other than 100mn AB ships (if I were to ever find time to log in).
Great change. At first glance, the numbers look reasonable for counterplay on both sides, also.
Did the 5,000 m/sec kiting people cry too loud?
Nope. We all just used 100mn and were able to ignore them completely. Which broke the game balance even more until it was fixed. Smart players will always find the most optimal solution.
It kinda balances itself, you can overheat but not for long!!!
Good call. The new range seem to be in a good spot.

My first read from this author and damn if she isn't good!
This book it's not what I was expecting. It surprised me in a good way.
Sietta Salisbury's family is powerful, his father's in politics and they are the epitome of high class. But people thought he's dead. He isn't. Well not technically. Sietta is strange, a perfect match to Taylor, and it seems that he can get Taylor where everybody else fails. And Taylor sees him where everybody does not.
I can't go into detail, for not spoiling it for you, but the story is more than worth reading it. Your heart will break for Sietta, and you will laugh out loud when you'll meet the Jamsons. They are hilarious, funny and borderline crazy.

Bhumibol Adulyadej (Cambridge, 5. prosinca 1927. – 13. listopada 2016.), službeno zvan "Veliki" (tai: มหาราช, Maharaja) te isto tako poznat kao Rama IX., bio je kralj Tajlanda. S obzirom na to da je vladao od 9. lipnja 1946. do smrti, Bhumibol je najdugovječnijim monarhom u tajlandskoj povijesti, a u trenutku smrti najdugovječniji svjetski monarh.

Iako je Bhumibol ustavni monarh, nekoliko puta je odlučno intervenirao u tajlandsku politiku, uključujući političku krizu 2005 - 2006. Bhumibolu mnogi također pripisuju važnu ulogu u tajlandskoj tranziciji prema demokraciji 1990-ih, iako je u ranijim periodima vladavine znao podržavati vojne režime. Nije se odupro državnom udaru u rujnu 2006. kojim je svrgnuta prethodno izabrana vlada premijera Thaksina Shinawatre.

Bhumibol koristi svoje ogromno bogatstvo kako bi financirao razne razvojne projekte, posebno u seoskim područjima. Nevjerojatno je popularan u Tajlandu, a mnogi Tajlanđani na njega gledaju kao polubožanstvo. Kritičari, uglavnom izvan Tajlanda, priposuju taj status suzbijanju kritike monarhije.

Bhumibol je rođen u Sjedinjenim Državama, a obrazovan u Švicarskoj. Bhumibol se je u slobodno vrijeme bavio glazbom, umjetnošću i jedrenjem.

Salvation Army's anti-gay attitude incenses activists
December 10, 2001 by ANITA CHABRIA
GENESEE COUNTY, MI: A coalition of gay-rights activists -
spearheaded by Parents, Families and Friends of Lesbians And Gays
(PFLAG) and the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD) - is
protesting the Salvation Army this holiday season by dropping leaflets
in the charity's collection kettles.
The protest originated from a Michigan chapter of PFLAG, but has spread
nationally to the organization's 80,000 members. Copies of the leaflet -
which reads, "I would have donated $5, but the Salvation Army's
decision to discriminate against gay and lesbian employees prevents my
donation now and in the future" - are available for members to download
from the organization's website. An e-mail alert was also sent out.
The grassroots action is in response to a mandate from the Salvation
Army's national office forbidding any of its four regional divisions
from granting benefits to same-sex domestic partners.

New Coordinators Serve Up Hugs & Help
Bilal Muhammad greets Karli Straub and Cherish Hardin on the way to recess
East Kelloggsville Elementary School kindergartner Ricky Brooks threw his arms around Student Service Coordinator Christie Alexander in a big hug. "Thank you!" he exclaimed.
Alexander had spent a few minutes with Ricky, helping him line up paperclips to make shapes during a class activity. Since meeting him on the first day of school, she has gotten to know Ricky well by checking on him every day.
He thrives from the positive attention, said teacher Kathi Burke. Alexander's job is to provide students with someone to turn to if they need a break or need to talk, and students, including Ricky, benefit from it. "It makes a kid feel needed," Burke said.
"Some of the kids just need a break… a walk in the hallway," Burke said. They come back ready to listen after a little time with Alexander. "Five minutes is usually enough."
Kindergartner Ricky Brooks gives Christie Alexander an impromptu embrace
Covering the Spectrum of Need
A few blocks away at West Kelloggsville Elementary School, Student Service Coordinator Sara Cinadr checked third-grader Jayden Mast's blood sugar level and administered an insulin shot to control his diabetes. At the same time, they discussed what was making Jayden a little "grumpy."
And at Southeast Elementary School, Student Service Coordinator Bilal Muhammad spun a basketball atop his finger and tried to pass it onto the fingertip of fifth-grader Lily Vandergeld in mid-rotation. Before that, he greeted students on the way to recess, taking note of every student who walked by.
"Christopher, where are your glasses?" he asked one student.
Alexander, Cinadr and Muhammad began the new full-time district positions in September. They are modeled after Kent School Services Network, a countywide program that brings social and medical services to students' schools and homes. KSSN is run through a partnership with local districts and Kent ISD, and Kelloggville's Southeast Elementary School had a KSSN community site coordinator and clinician for several years.
To provide equitable services to all elementary schools, the district, which has a high-poverty population, hired its own staff to fill the roles, said Tammy Savage, assistant superintendent for the district.
"We're an extra support, and we support in whatever way we're needed," Cinadr said.
Muhammad is a former athletic director for Riverside Middle School in Grand Rapids Public Schools; Alexander is a former high school guidance counselor, elementary school counselor and has worked in juvenile justice and with Child Protective Services. Cinadr is a former GRPS teacher.
Positive Forces
The student service coordinators focus on attendance and behavior and form relationships with students during recess and lunch. They check in on students who need extra attention. They communicate with families and make home visits to establish rapport with families and emphasize the importance of attendance.
Sara Cinadr gives third-grader Jayden Mast an insulin shot
"We provide positive feedback for students and see them at least twice a day to talk to them about what good choices they are making and say, 'Keep up the good work,'" Cinadr said.
She can relate to teachers who need a helping hand. "Coming from the classroom, I loved teaching; I loved my students, but there were so many needs that I saw that I couldn't meet on my own, with having to balance the academics, and the relationships, and the calling home. And the this. And the that."
Muhammad grew up in a single-parent home with his mother, a school principal. He looks to her as a role model for how to build relationships with students.
"We know it's all about 'it takes a village,' " he said.

The C++ language track requires that you have the following software
installed on your system:
* a modern C++11 compiler
* the CMake cross-platform build system
* the Boost libraries

Microsoft's Visual Studio IDE and Apple's Xcode IDEs combine the compiler
and the
native build system into a single IDE (integrated development environment).
Linux environments typically expose the compiler and native build system
as separate command-line tools.

### Prerequisite: A Modern C++11 Compiler

This language track assumes [C++11](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C%2B%2B11),
the latest version of the ISO C++ standard that is
[widely supported](http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/compiler_support) on all
major platforms (Linux, Windows and MacOS).
[C++14](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C%2B%2B14) has been recently ratified
as the most recent version of the ISO standard.  The language track will
be updated to C++14 once support is sufficiently mature in the development
environments across all major platforms.

Free compilers exist for C++11 on all major platforms, although the version
of the C++ compiler installed on your system may be an older version that
doesn't fully support C++11.  A comparison chart of
[C++ compiler support](http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/compiler_support)
and related [discussion](http://en.cppreference.com/w/Talk:cpp/compiler_support)
shows that most of the major features of C++11 are available on all major
platforms.

#### Linux

Linux users will need gcc 4.8 or later or clang 3.4 or later for the compiler
and `make` will be needed for the native build.  Make is pre-installed on most
unix systems, but is available via `sudo apt-get install make` if not present.
Gcc 4.8 supports C++11 with the `-std=c++11` argument and can be installed and
set as the default compiler with the following recipe:

```bash
$ sudo add-apt-repository -y ppa:ubuntu-toolchain-r/test
$ sudo apt-get -qq -d update
$ sudo apt-get -qq install g++-4.8
$ # make g++ 4.8 the default g++ executable
$ sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/g++ g++ /usr/bin/g++-4.8 90
```

#### MacOS

MacOS users can install gcc 4.8 with [Homebrew](http://brew.sh/) via
`brew install gcc`.

#### Windows

Windows users can get
[Visual Studio Community 2013](http://www.visualstudio.com/en-us/products/visual-studio-community-vs),
a free download that will give you the Visual Studio 2013 IDE and the
latest version of the Microsoft Visual C++ compiler.

### Prerequisite: CMake

CMake is an open source cross-platform build system that generates build
scripts for your native build system (`make`, Visual Studio, Xcode, etc.).
Exercism's C++ track uses CMake to give you a ready-made build that:

* compiles the tests
* compiles your solution
* links the test executable
* automatically runs the tests as part of every build
* fails the build if the any tests fail

Using CMake allows exercism to provide a cross-platform build script that
can generate project files for integrated development environments like
Visual Studio and Xcode.  This allows you to focus on the problem and
not worry about setting up a build for each exercise.

Getting a portable build isn't easy and requires access to many kinds of
systems.  If you encounter any problems with the supplied CMake recipe,
please [report the issue](https://github.com/exercism/xcpp/issues) so we can
improve the CMake support.

[CMake 2.8.11 or later](http://www.cmake.org/) is required to use the provided build recipe.

### Prerequisite: Boost

The unit tests use Boost.Test, the unit testing framework included with
[Boost](http://www.boost.org/index.html).  You may find other libraries
in Boost useful to you as you work through the exercises.  In particular,
gcc 4.8 does not have a proper implementation of the standard regular
expression library, but you can find a compatible library in Boost.
You will need to download and install Boost.  As of this writing Boost
1.55 is the current version.  You will need a compiled version of the
boost libraries Boost.Test, Boost.DateTime and Boost.Regex, or you will
need to download from source and build the library yourself.

If you are having difficulties installing Boost for use with exercism,
[ask for help](https://github.com/exercism/xcpp/issues).

#### Linux

Linux users can get pre-built packages with the following recipe:

```bash
$ sudo add-apt-repository -y ppa:boost-latest/ppa
$ sudo apt-get -qq -d update
$ sudo apt-get -qq install libboost1.55-all-dev
```

Note: These prepackaged Linux binaries are not compiled with gcc 4.8 and
some libraries may have issues as a result.  If a pre-built package is
unavailable for your linux distribution, try
[installing Boost from source](http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/release/more/getting_started/index.html).

#### Windows

Windows users can download compiled binaries from [sourceforge](http://sourceforge.net/projects/boost/files/boost-binaries/1.55.0-build2/).
You must download the version appropriate for your compiler.  For recent
versions of Visual Studio, the direct links are provided below:

| Compiler | Download |
|----------|----------|
| Visual Studio Express 2013 for Windows Desktop (32-bit) | [boost_1_55_0-msvc-12.0-32.exe](http://sourceforge.net/projects/boost/files/boost-binaries/1.55.0-build2/boost_1_55_0-msvc-12.0-32.exe/download) |
| Visual Studio 2013 (32-bit) | [boost_1_55_0-msvc-12.0-32.exe](http://sourceforge.net/projects/boost/files/boost-binaries/1.55.0-build2/boost_1_55_0-msvc-12.0-32.exe/download) |
| Visual Studio 2012 (32-bit) | [boost_1_55_0-msvc-11.0-32.exe](http://sourceforge.net/projects/boost/files/boost-binaries/1.55.0-build2/boost_1_55_0-msvc-11.0-32.exe/download) |
| Visual Studio 2010 (32-bit) | [boost_1_55_0-msvc-10.0-32.exe](http://sourceforge.net/projects/boost/files/boost-binaries/1.55.0-build2/boost_1_55_0-msvc-10.0-32.exe/download) |

In this table, 32-bit refers to the kind of code generated by your
compiler and not the operating system.  Code compiled for 32-bit will run
on both 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Windows.  Code compiled for 64-bit
will only run on 64-bit versions of Windows.  The CMake recipes used in
exercism create 32-bit projects for Visual Studio, so download the
appropriate 32-bit version of Boost.

Once you download the compiled binaries, install them into a suitable
location.  The installed location will contain a libraries directory
named similarly to the install executable, such as `lib32-msvc-12.0`.
Rename this directory to `lib` so that CMake can find the precompiled
libraries.  If you don't rename the directory you will see an error
like this when you run CMake:

```

Thomas Schöne (1961)
Thomas Schöne is a jack of all creative trades: at his studio in the Allgäu region, he works as a furniture and jewellery designer, designs and sews dolls, even furnishing entire marionette theatres with his own designs and, in addition, offering his skills as an interior decorator and a painter of trompe l'oeil pictures. Yet all the while, he really – but then, what does "really" mean? – trained and got a degree as a graphic designer who has long made a name for himself as an illustrator of books for children and young adults. Even as a student, he not only concentrated on illustrating, but also tried his hand as a sculptor, and thus he keeps turning out occasional sculptures. Schöne's conception of himself as a creative artist is also "artisanal" in the sense that he often studies the techniques of great masters and uses them in his own works, whether painting in oils or modelling sculptures. Schöne's works have been presented in many exhibits at home and abroad.

AP shortlisted for prestigious EU prize in heritage-led innovation
Thursday, 10 June, 2021 at 11:02 am
Last Updated on Thursday, 10 June, 2021 at 11:04 am by Andre Camilleri
Jury says 'firm has made Valletta into its living lab'
AP Valletta has been shortlisted for Europe's prestigious Ilucidare Special Prize for its heritage-led innovation and outstanding contribution to Valletta's regeneration.
The architecture firm is among four finalists for the Heritage-led Innovation Category of the second edition of the Ilucidare Special Prizes, awarded within the European Heritage and Europa Nostra Awards. These aim to demonstrate that cultural heritage is a powerful resource for strengthening international exchange and driving innovation-led sustainable development.
The announcement of the 2021 Ilucidare Special Prizes was made in Brussels today by the Ilucidare Consortium, including Europa Nostra and the European Commission.
AP Valletta was nominated by the Valletta Local Council for its numerous projects across the capital, which served as a reminder of the intangible benefits that rigorous design and heritage-related processes can generate for a city and its community.
Valletta mayor Alfred Zammit said: "The Valletta Local Council has enjoyed working with AP Valletta. Despite the aggressive construction industry that constantly causes changes in the landscape with the death of old structures and the birth of new ones, AP Valletta makes an effort to ensure, above all, the survival of that which has intrinsic value and contributes to the well‐being of society, by forming part of its heritage and creating its identity."
AP Valletta, a research-based architectural and design firm founded 30 years ago, has developed an affinity with Valletta and been instrumental in heritage-led projects.
The Ilucidare Jury was especially appreciative of AP Valletta's dynamic perspective on heritage, saying: "Its work is rooted in the theoretical principle that heritage is not static but rather in constant evolution. The firm has made Valletta into its living lab for testing new heritage ideas."
Among the firm's projects are the regeneration of the Valletta Waterfront, the redesign of the Barrakka Lift, the transformation of the 19th century Garrison chapel into the Malta Stock Exchange offices, the extension of St John's Co-Cathedral Museum, the restoration of St. Paul's Anglican Cathedral, the Manoel Theatre and the new Museum of Literature, as well as international collaborations that saw AP Valletta work on Valletta's new City Gate, Opera House and Parliament project with Renzo Piano Building Workshop.
Welcoming today's announcement, AP Valletta executive director Konrad Buhagiar said, on behalf of the team, that having specialised in restoration and historic contexts from the onset, the lessons of the past have been relentlessly absorbed by AP Valletta.
Mr Buhagiar added: "There is an urgent need for the redefinition of processes to address the impact that the direction of construction is having, and will continue to have, on the cultural, social, environmental and economic environment and their overall effect on wellbeing, from mental and physical health to economic resilience."
The two winners of the Ilucidare Special Prizes – one for excellence in heritage-led innovation and one for excellence in heritage-led international relations – will be announced in autumn at the European Heritage Awards Ceremony in Venice.
Ilucidare project coordinator Koen Van Balen said the nine shortlisted projects for the two Ilucidare Special Prizes attested to the ingenuity, dynamism and sense of purpose of the heritage world.
"From using state-of-the-art technical solutions for heritage preservation to cultivating relations through cultural heritage between communities and countries, both in Europe and across the world. These outstanding projects show the benefits of working across disciplines and borders to ensure the transmission of our shared heritage to present and future generations.
"On behalf of the Ilucidare Consortium, I wish to congratulate these exemplary achievements for embodying what Ilucidare proudly stands for, and I warmly welcome you to the vibrant, international Ilucidare community. This pre-selection is already an important milestone and we look forward to supporting you in making the most of it. The Ilucidare partners stand ready to give you the visibility and backing you very much deserve," said Mr Van Balen.
During the announcement, Mariya Gabriel, European Commissioner for Innovation, Research, Culture, Education and Youth said the shortlisted projects showcased the huge potential of Europe's cultural heritage to act as a catalyst for creativity and innovation, and to foster human solidarity and cross-country cooperation.
"At a moment when the EU and its citizens are engaged in shaping a shared vision for the future, each one of the nine shortlisted projects demonstrate the capability of the heritage world to produce innovative, effective and creative solutions to larger societal issues.
"I applaud the efforts of the people and communities behind them, and hope many more will be inspired through the power of their example. I also wish to thank them sincerely for their important contribution to a more sustainable and resilient Europe, in spite of the current challenges we face together," Ms Gabriel said.
The winners will have the unique opportunity of joining the Ilucidare Champions programme, a tailor-made support scheme to upscale their success and further develop their strategies together with European and international experts, as well as the Consortium's partners.
The Ilucidare Special Prizes are supported by the EU's Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation programme, in addition to the EU's Creative Europe Programme for culture and the audiovisual sectors, which supports the European Heritage Awards / Europa Nostra Awards.
The nine shortlisted projects for the Ilucidare Special Prizes 2021 are:

'It's Truly an Epidemic': Rare Dog Disease on the Rise in West LA County
Early detection of the disease is key to catching and treating it. And it can be treated, using antibiotics, or prevented with vaccines.
By Robert Kovacik	• Published August 13, 2021 • Updated on August 25, 2021 at 5:43 pm
NBC Universal, Inc.
Here's how you can protect your dog. Robert Kovacik reports on Wednesday, Aug. 11, 2021. If you have questions about leptospirosis or wish to report a case, call 213-288-7060 or email vet@ph.lacounty.gov.
Leptospirosis, a bacterial disease that can lead to kidney failure and even death, isn't new, nor is its effect on animals.
But one veterinarian in Los Angeles said they'd seen maybe a dozen cases over the span of 40 years of work. In the past three weeks, however, that same vet has seen triple that number of cases.
Allison Mellon, a Brentwood resident, is just one person whose dog has been affected.
"He was so sick it was frightening," Mellon said of her dog, Thor. "He was just laying down lethargic and wouldn't move."
Lenny, West LA resident Daniel Mastracco's dog, also got sick.

"He wouldn't eat or drink anything," Mastracco recalled. "That's when I got really concerned."
Veterinary surgeon Dr. Alan Schulman says, based on the other veterinarians he's spoken to on the Westside in recent weeks, 50 to 100 cases is a conservative estimate for how large the canine leptospirosis epidemic has become.
"It's truly an epidemic," Schulman said.
LA County Public Health has confirmed a large increase in cases in July, mostly from the west side of LA County or the San Fernando Valley.
"People [are] saying 'My dog is just not right,'" Schulman said. "'He's sluggish, his eyes are red, he just don't want to eat,'" all common symptoms of the bacterial infection.
Early detection of the disease is key to catching the cases and treating them. And they can be treated using antibiotics, or prevented with leptospirosis vaccines - though there are many different strains.
But how are dogs getting infected in the first place?
According to Schulman, leptospirosis can come from contaminated water or urine.
"It's the rats," Schulman said. "They urinate places, they defecate places, dogs get it from them. The other way it does get transmitted is directly through human urine."
Dogs can also pass it on to each other. One outbreak came from a boarding facility in Santa Monica, according to LA County.

An increase in homeless encampments may be one possible reason the disease is spiking in West LA, he added.
"In those encampments we are seeing a phenomenal growth in the rodent population," Schulman said - rodents that are the source of the disease.
"This is not a bacterial epidemic that is coming in from someplace else. It is coming from here and dogs are at that much risk."
While humans can also contract leptospirosis, LA County Public Health has no reports of people becoming ill.
So far, Schulman has not heard any recent reports of dogs dying, but he cautions that people using doggy day care centers or who go to dog parks should get their dogs vaccinated against leptospirosis as soon as possible.
If you have questions about leptospirosis or wish to report a case, call 213-288-7060 or email vet@ph.lacounty.gov.

15 March 2019 Courier Weekly
Instagram's gift from God: millennial bibles
PLUS: Meditation spaces – Slack communities – Freelancing – Brand building
The good book – upgraded
Do religious texts need to be chic? Alabaster, a Los Angeles-based publishing startup, reckons there's a market for it.
It's hoping to have sold £680,000 worth of its bibles by the end of this year, which have been designed to appeal to modern consumers, applying an independent magazine aesthetic.
The books are indeed beautiful – and wouldn't look out of place in a millennial Instagram feed. (Perhaps laid out on the tabletops of San Francisco restaurant, The Riddler?)
It remains to be seen whether a brand engineered for social shares can stand the test of time – but for now, it's certainly a canny marketing strategy.
Meditation vs. the UK planning system
When Re:Mind Studio tried to open a meditation studio in London, it ran into an unexpected problem.
Its founder, Yulia Kovaleva, wanted to provide a similar experience to the meditation studios she had visited in LA and New York, which have been growing in popularity for a while now.
But landlords weren't so keen, Kovaleva discovered. In the UK, meditation is an activity that isn't specifically covered by the country's building regulations framework. 'So many landlords declined us right away,' Kovaleva says. Those that were happy to let their D2-licensed spaces (the type that yoga studios and gyms use) were offering basement or other similarly dingy units – not suitable for cultivating zen. 'Finally, we started looking for A1 [retail] spaces, and I developed the idea for a shop [as a workaround],' she says.
In total it took Re:Mind nine months to find a suitable site. Its Belgravia studio not only offers classes, but also features a shop stocked with brands curated by Kovaleva, such as The Nue Co supplements and Hackney Herbal teas. 'Pretty much everything you see in the studio you can buy as well,' she says. While retail wasn't part of the initial plan, incorporating this extra element has paid off: the shop now accounts for roughly 50% of Re:Mind's revenues.
Modern message boards
Last week, women-in-tech newsletter Femstreet launched its own Slack channel. Founder Sarah Noeckel, who is also an investor at the UK VC firm Dawn Capital, says over 400 Femstreet readers contacted her to join the channel within 24 hours of the launch announcement.
Not just anyone can join, though: applicants need to have subscribed to the Femstreet newsletter for one month and have a 60% open rate. LeanLuxe, a newsletter focusing on modern luxury, has the same eligibility requirements for its Slack channel.
There are also lots of Slack communities with less strict membership policies providing spaces for coders, marketers, founders and more to chat with each other.
Slack itself is relatively new, but internet chat rooms are obviously not. And while commentators may have lamented the death of the internet forum, we would argue that the concept has simply been modernised.
More proof of the enduring appeal of the message board: in February, Reddit – a community of internet forums – raised £226m.
Earning money as an illustrator
On Wednesday Ben the Illustrator launched the second edition of his global survey of illustrators. Some interesting findings:
52% of illustrators say their workload has increased since last year.
73% don't earn enough to live sustainably off their trade – also up from last year.
57% aren't confident that they're charging the right fees.
It's not a great picture, and it illustrates how our societal reluctance to discuss money can damage individuals. Talking about money – and understanding how much people earn for their work – puts freelancers in a much better position to negotiate their rates. Author Alex Holder's new book – Open up: the power of talking about money – tackles this subject.
Building resilient brands
Two interesting stories have come out this week showcasing brands which have managed to do something every company dreams of: create an identity that genuinely resonates with customers.
35-year-old Uniqlo, particularly, has done something other brands its age have struggled to do: appeal to new generations of young consumers. Why? This piece in The Atlantic argues that it's actually very simple: Uniqlo is cheap and doesn't bother with trends.
Direct-to-consumer athleisure brand Outdoor Voices, meanwhile, has created an aesthetic that's suitable for pretty much every activity in life. This New Yorker piece looks at how the brand built a movement around its #doingthings mantra.

Admission Possible?
D.C.'s college tuition grant program hasn't sent District kids to the four corners yet, but it's getting there.
by Garance Franke-Ruta May 12th, 2000 August 29th, 2020
On the 10th floor of One Judiciary Square, a paper sign has been taped to the white plastic office directory. It reads "Office of the Tuition Assistance Program" and points down the hall with a big blue arrow. It's a small piece of paper, but a big symbol of how rapidly the program to implement a new college grants program for District residents has been slapped together.
Led by former education-lobby staffer Laurent Ross, the Office of the Mayor's D.C. College Tuition Assistance Grant Program takes calls from high-schoolers and cash-strapped college students from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., dispensing advice on how to apply for financial aid, prove residency, and otherwise take advantage of the new program, which will allow them to attend public colleges across the country at in-state tuition rates. All in all, the room with the makeshift sign offers locals much happier news than such bureaucratic neighbors as the Office of Intergovernmental Relations, the Office of Boards and Commissions, and the Mayor's Correspondence Unit.
Funded to the annual tune of $17 million, the college program was authorized by the D.C. College Access Act of 1999, passed by Congress last November. The legislation allows recent D.C. high school grads, public and private, to pay in-state rates at 96 eligible colleges and universities in D.C., Maryland, and Virginia by making up the difference between in-state and out-of-state tuition—up to $10,000 per year for five years. The law also provides up to $2,500 per year to students attending private colleges in D.C., such as Georgetown University or George Washington University, or three historically black colleges in Virginia.
So far, the District hasn't exactly supplied a class of applicants big enough to fulfill naysayers' prophecies about the wholesale migration of local youths to places like Charlottesville, Va. But even though the 525 students who have applied for the grants for next year might not fill a dormitory at a Midwestern land-grant university, Ross says he expects the office to be funding 3,450 students per year shortly. "We want to have more applications," he says. "It's my feeling that people know about the program, but people don't know how to apply."
Last week, D.C. Congressional Delegate Eleanor Holmes Norton made a bid to dramatically raise student interest in the program—and, claim members of the tuition office, spurred a small avalanche of applications. She declared that students attending state schools outside of Maryland and Virginia had been eligible for the grants all along and that the grants would no longer be restricted to students attending local schools.
The expansion of the program to a national scale had been written into finished legislation, sponsored by Norton and Rep. Tom Davis (R-Va.), as a conditional option. But although Norton's office says that she always assumed the program would eventually fund students at any public state university they wished to attend, Ross notes that the expansion hinged on several prerequisites.
D.C. Mayor Anthony A. Williams, says Ross, first had to show that District residents were having trouble getting into colleges in D.C., Maryland, and Virginia. (Ross says he has analyzed U.S. Department of Education data, which shows that this is the case.) Williams had to consult with the U.S. House of Representatives and the Senate. And the Department of Education and the mayor had to agree that expanding the program to the whole country would not cost more than the amount already allocated for the program.
These conditions were finally met last week, according to Norton's office. And, speculates Ross, Norton may have made her announcement to "speed up" the anticipated Williams sign-off on expanding the program.
A mayoral order to expand the program is now sitting on Williams' desk, and the tuition office has been instructed to operate as if it had already been signed. If you believe the hype, alumni associations for District high schools like Coolidge and Ballou could soon be operating from Ann Arbor, Mich., to Oxford, Miss. "Some of them must have been waiting by the door with track shoes on," says the tuition office's Ken Howard of the sudden rise in calls from students wanting to study out of D.C.
LaRon Roach was at the office on a recent Tuesday morning to drop off her application and talk to a financial aid officer. As the officer fielded a call from an applicant looking to prove residency—"Do you have a bill in your parent's name from a utility company? What about a driver's license?…Neither of your parents have driver's licenses?"—Roach explained how news of the initial area grants had helped convince her to transfer from the University of South Carolina at Columbia to the University of Maryland for her junior and senior years.
"It was pretty costly to go away," Roach says. "This was one of the parts of why I transferred."
Roach—who says she also had academic reasons for transferring—heard about the program while living in South Carolina. Closer to home, it seems plenty of D.C. utility-bill recipients and driver's-license-holders are also hip to the grants— and making application decisions based on them.
Just ask Jack Blackburn, dean of admissions at the University of Virginia (UVA). "I think cost is one of the factors, and the new grants will make us and other out-of-state colleges—public and private—much more attractive," he says. During a year when the total number of applicants for the 2,930 freshman slots dropped, applications from D.C. public-school students to UVA showed the first significant increase in five years.
According to George Stovall, UVA's director of institutional studies, "There was a very significant increase in number of applicants and offers from public schools." Between fall 1999 and fall 2000, the number of D.C. public-school students who planned to enroll at UVA increased from two to six, offers went from seven to 21, and applicants increased from 21 to 31. This year, public-school students made up 35 percent of applicants and 50 percent of D.C. students planning to attend in the fall.
True, the number of D.C. applicants is still tiny compared with, say, the number of applicants from Virginia's somewhat smaller capital, Richmond. And even though District citizens can go to UVA for the same rate as Virginians, they still have to make it past the stricter admissions standards for out-of-state enrollment. But the change this year is still dramatic, says Stovall: From 1996 to 1999, D.C. public-school students made up only 26 to 30 percent of applicants from the District and only 0 percent to 30 percent of those able to enroll. (In 1997, all D.C. students attending UVA as freshmen had gone to private high schools.)
The grants, says Stovall, "certainly would have something to do with accepted offers."
Ross says he'd be surprised if any school saw more than a 10 percent increase in admissions from D.C. because of the new grants. Marcelle Heerschap, dean of admissions at Virginia's George Mason University (GMU), has seen at least that much of an increase at her school. And she's seen a doubling in applications from D.C. "The change for us has been significant," says Heerschap. "We have had over a 100 percent increase in applications from fall 1999." Whereas 61 D.C. kids applied to enter George Mason in 1999, 124 applied for fall 2000. Thirty-four students have accepted admission for fall of 2000; between 13 and 23 D.C. students enrolled in the falls of 1997, 1998, and 1999.
Heerschap credits the increase not just to the grants, but to the new outreach program to D.C. kids the grants inspired. "Once we knew that the bill was going to go into effect, we were more proactive" about recruitment, she says. "We met with members of the D.C. College Access Program and also with numbers of guidance counselors in the D.C. community to talk with them about GMU specifically." Administrators from schools such as Virginia Commonwealth University
also report a miniboom in new students from D.C.
But despite these large percentage increases, the absolute numbers of students admitted to these selective Virginia schools remains small. Six public-school students at UVA may be an increase, but it's bubkes when you consider that around 2,800 students are D.C. public-school seniors this year and 2,500 are expected to graduate.
Meanwhile, in-state tuition will apparently lure D.C. students only so far. Salisbury State University, on Maryland's Eastern Shore, has seen no change in admissions from the new grants. Jane Dane, dean of admission and financial aid, says that for the fall 2000 semester there were 15 District applicants, three offers of admission, and only one student who accepted an offer. In 1998, there were 17 applicants, seven offers, and two freshman enrollees.
The fact remains that most D.C. public-school students are not going to be admitted to the more competitive local universities—one more reason the program will soon be officially expanded nationally. Of the 3,126 D.C. residents who start college across the country each year, nearly 600 start as freshmen at the University of the District of Columbia, and another 200 or so begin at Prince George's Community College. And city officials say more money will take these students only so far. "There are a lot of colleges out there that are not first-tier universities," says Ross. "There are a lot of institutions that are out there to accept D.C. students." CP


Results are only in through early November, but even with just four months under their belts, Casella Waste Services of Charlton is submitting some figures that spell success for Holden's method of single-stream recycling.
The company is reporting an average of 32.8 percent recycling for 2007 so far.
That's 822 tons more removed from the waste stream from July to November compared to the same period last year. And it's 822 tons that doesn't have to be paid for at Wheelabrator in Millbury, which disposes of everything that's not recycled.
"It's a startling number," Town Manager Brian Bullock reported to the select board at its November 19 meeting.
Bullock believes some of the good news can be attributed to the method of collecting the recycling. When Holden hired Casella last spring the company introduced single-stream recycling, in which residents place all recyclables in a single container rather than separate them. The idea was floated to encourage recycling by making the largest toter the recycling toter.
"We're the only community doing recycling with toters," Bullock said.
Though a few other communities are doing single stream recycling, even those still use the smaller bin for recycling.
Using a larger bin is a psychological tactic that seems to have worked: if you give folks the larger bin, they'll fill it.
"People are becoming more conditioned to recycling," Selectman David White said.
More conditioning is in the works. A plan for Casella to offer recycling education to the community through the schools is in progress, but not yet in place. Waste Management, Inc. collects trash at the schools.
Educating children, Bullock said, will probably help households increase their recycling.
"When you get kids coming home and saying to parents, 'Why aren't you recycling that?', it's game, set, match at that point," he said.

Beloved San Francisco dive bars that are surviving
Greg Keraghosian, SFGATE
Sep. 27, 2018 Updated: Dec. 18, 2018 5:04 p.m.

The dive bar in San Francisco means far more than a cheap drink and a messy restroom – it brings a sense of community, identity, and history. And that bond shows every time one of the city's beloved dives closes its doors due to rising costs, or changes so much to stay viable that it loses its grimy appeal.
Recent examples include the Tenderloin's Hemlock Tavern, which closed in October to make way for condos. Lucky 13 is hanging on by a thread, but a permit for its demolition has been filed and it seems a matter of time before a developer tears it down for a 27-unit apartment building.
There are, however, San Francisco dive bars that are surviving and thriving decades after they first opened their doors. Look through our gallery above to plan a visit.
We should mention here that the term "dive bar" is open to interpretation, and for some it's defined more by a feeling than any features. For our purposes we stuck to dive bars that have existed roughly 30 years or more, don't practice mixology, aren't dominated by dance music most nights, keep the lights low, haven't overhauled their interior, and keep a diverse set of local regulars.

We met local bartender Stellar Cassidy at Specs' Twelve Adler Museum Café, which turned 50 this year, for her opinion on what makes a great dive bar, and she pointed to that last factor (see more of her comments in the video below).

"I also know a good bar when it has a mixed bag of people," said Cassidy, who bartends at Church Key and City Beer Store. Bars that are maybe not so divey or newer tend to be homogenized or specialized on one thing like cocktails or food. But at Specs I can always count on people coming from all walks of life, all ages, all economic backgrounds."
At least for now, the dives on this list won't be going anywhere.

To start off with face cream, without a doubt the lucky winner has to be Benefit Total Moisture Facial Cream. This is one of the best moisturizers I've tried! It really does give a brilliant moisture to the skin and makes it really soft and smooth. It doesn't feel heavy or greasy at all and as mine is a mini size it's perfect for the plane. As for eye cream, my Bioderma Sensibio Eye is perfect. It is lightweight and it hydrates the area really well. It looks great under concealer and it de-puffs and soothes as well. We don't want to neglect our hands and cuticles, so a must-have for me is the Soap&Glory Hand Food cream (review here). This is my all time favorite hand cream as it does a fab job at hydrating and softening the skin and at the same time it doesn't make your hands greasy as it sinks in instantly.
Makeup wise, I figured that the Clarins Beauty Flash Balm (review here) would be perfect to apply before landing, instead of foundation. This works wonders to my skin when it's dull and tired. It perks it up and makes it so luminous and healthy. It adds some moisture and leaves the skin soft and smooth. Definitely check it out if you haven't already as it's brilliant and it looks wonderful underneath makeup too. Keeping up with the complexion theme, before landing I usually put on some concealer because it gives me more confidence and I love to cover up my dark circles. My flight to London was at 6:30am. so as you can imagine I had to take some actions hah. I love this travel size Benefin Boi-Ing concealer as it's really creamy, provides amazing coverage and it doesn't crease. Mascara is another one of those products that gives me huge confidence so I like to apply some before I arrive. I love how it opens up the look and makes you more awake and present. I opted for my babe – Too Faced Lashgasm (review here). It lengthens my lashes and gives them a nice volume. It doesn't flake or cake and it's really black, which I adore!
Have you tried any of these products? Which are some of your in-flight beauty essentials?
I used to hate flying and maybe I still do a little but I've flown to China and back in a 11+8 hour flight you just have to deal with it! :) So all I can tell you is that is going to get better the more you fly!
That hand cream!? It's everywhere and I need to get my hands in it!
I always don't know what I could take with me on a flight wether it is everything or nothing ? haha very nice post !
I think with flying you either love it or hate it. Such a shame you don't enjoy it, just adds stress to your journey! Hand food is a must though, best Soap & Glory product. I need to try Yes To Carrots lip butter, best product name ever?! Haha.
I love Bioderma too))) My last post is about micellar water.
I totally share the same sentiment with flying! Especially if you could hear the plane buzzing and in turbulence and all that! It scares the crap out of me haaha. It doesn't matter how many times I've been on a plane, still gives me the creeps!
I haven't used Soap & Glory products in forever, I have to start up again because they are wonderful. Lovely post!
Fortunately I have no problems with flying at all, I'm really so thankful for that. I've never been on a flight that took longer than two hours I think so I didn't have too many problems with dehydrated skin and the moisturiser I put on in the morning was sufficient.
What I did when I flew to London was wearing my contacts. BIG mistake but I had to because of space problems in my bag *ahem*. Glasses would have been so much more comfy!

Pop art architecture
Posted on September 11, 2022 September 11, 2022 By adm-architects
Pop Art is a style of design and a direction of visual art, formed under the influence of mass culture in the second half of the 20th century, a trend that became very popular in building and interior design. The name of this style causes a debate about its origins. At the moment, art historians adhere to two points of view, pop art – is abbreviated popular art, that is, mass art, and by style of performance pop-art is interpreted according to the direct translation from English as "cotton".
Interiors in the style of pop art
Pop-art art is a logical continuation of abstract expressionism and surrealism, built on images of mass consumption goods. This style originated in America in the workshops of creative bohemians and is characterized by the use of elements that do not combine, which nevertheless look intriguing and quite harmonious.
In building design, pop art has gained popularity in interior design for young people. This is a bright and abstract style that allows you to use exceptional combinations, to complement them with visual images borrowed from advertising photography, emphasized simplified images of celebrities, elementary objects, elevated to the status of especially important. In essence, Pop Art is the union of the previously unconnected.
Of course, the building design in the style of pop art should be expressive and dynamic. This direction of design is particularly suitable in the design of children's rooms and apartments of creative personalities. At the same time, if you decided to create an interior of apartments with a concentrated surrealistic world of happiness and are not part of the bohemia, this style is also for you. It literally charges with positive energy and allows you to look at life in a new way.
American Pop Art
Like any other design style in each country, pop art has developed in its own way and acquired its own exceptional features. It makes sense to position American Pop Art as the main style. A vivid representative of this style is Andy Warhol, who used in his works visually impoverished advertising images, as well as portraits of celebrities, among the popular works in the first place is his graphic portrait of Marilyn Monroe.
American pop art is often used as inspiration by contemporary designers, this choice of design tools is always exceptionally successful. For modern interiors in the style of pop art it is peculiar to use elements of on-art, that is, graphic images with a pronounced dynamics. This can be a variety of fractal images. Elements of on-art spectacularly complement the interiors of American pop art.
Unlike Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein introduced elements of comics and other characters of mass culture into interiors, Lichtenstein's direction is also pronounced in American pop art. Pop art in the American version is more experimental and exploits the image.
English Pop Art
English pop art absorbed elements of neoclassicism and bourgeois lifestyle. The interiors in the English Pop Art style can be called more "domestic" and corresponding to the traditional perception of the interior, but at the same time more daring, expressive and abstract. Interior design in English pop-art is also based on using classic art objects, but with an accent on symbolism, with traditional pop-art finish and non-standard decorative materials. English pop-art is characterized by abstract experiments with color, texture and form, but within the "home" perception of the interior. English pop-art often uses zoning with color in combination with neutral colors, which allow to separate functional zones.
Italian Pop Art
Italian pop-art is, first of all, an experiment with space, here colors and forms are secondary, which do not influence the perception of space. It is obvious that the use of geometrical elements is more characteristic of Italian pop art. Italian Pop Art is also characterized by a greater use of neutral tones in the interior design, the color acts as a decor and a "donor", as a starting point for the new image created by the designer from the workspace.
Retro Pop Art Home Interior
Recently, another interesting direction of pop art has been formed, which is already distinguished separately from other sub-styles. We are talking about retro pop art. This is a kind of variation on the theme of English pop-art, but without its inherent bourgeoisness. These interiors include traditional pop-art expression, elements of experimentation on the Italian pop-art space, the coziness, typical for English pop-art, where very trivial things are used as interior objects, but nevertheless these interiors look really amazing. As an example, the interior of the house of designer Stefan Stefan Holemann, who rented a former bookbinding factory in Zurich and created a new architectural object in the style of retro pop art.
Pop Art Living Rooms
Living rooms in the style of Pop Art – it is a game on contrasts, and it does not matter which direction of pop art, the living room will be the center of the composition and here the contrast will be the main tool of the designer.
Kitchen in the style of pop art
A pop-art kitchen is simple. Use regular furniture:
Ex-Soviet style, then you'll get retro pop art;
Colonial style furniture, then you get an English Pop Art kitchen;
A modern kitchen will look great with visual images of advertising or geometric character of American pop art.
Pop art style bedroom.
Do not forget that the bedroom is, above all, a place for rest, here you need to be extremely careful with the use of expression, nevertheless, it does not hurt to create a positive way of thinking at any time of the day.
Children's room in the style of pop art
Of course, pop art in its built-in expression is most suitable for children's rooms. You should pay attention to the Roy Lichtenstein comic book style, it is the perfect choice for the boys' room. For girls, English pop art is definitely suitable. Especially pay attention to the pop art style if you have a creative person growing up in your family.
Toilet and bathroom in pop art style
Life in the style of "happiness", so you can characterize the use of pop art in the interior of bathrooms. Of course, this option is more peculiar to children's en-suit, but still do not limit your perception of space to standard norms.
Landscape design and architecture in the style of pop art
It must be said that pop-art style architecture is still a gimmick in the world of contemporary design, but there are still examples. The same applies to the design of adjacent areas. Landscaping in the style of pop art is the use of unconventional designs, ornamental decoration with flowers using bright colors. Undoubtedly, pop art in architecture and landscape design can give the world many more design discoveries. This is an area where you can experiment.

The Royal Hypeness Chick: One on One w/ AngieAnge of WKYS
Posted by Ki Ki Brown in Community, Inspiration, Music, Radio Chicks, video, women in radio
Angie Martinez, AngieAnge, AngieAnge in the Afternoon, Candy Shannon, chicks in radio, DC, DJ Flexx, DJ Quicksilva, It must be Angie on the Miiiiic!, Jeannie Jones, Michel Wright, Olivia Foxx, radio, radio chicks, radio chicks rock, Radio One, Rane, Royal Hypness, Steph Lova, ThisRadioChickRocks, video, Washington DC, WKYS, Women In Radio, WPGC
I'm in my Operations Manager's office and I'm talking to him about my dreams of starting a non profit. He offers his advice and support, then gets on the phone. I'm like "did this dude just make a phone call in the middle of our conversation?"
The person he called was a person whom he admired and trusted; someone he knew would help me and give me all the information I needed. He called Angie Ange of WKYS in Washington, DC.
After the small talk, he then said "I have my midday girl in my office…" and she said "Ki Ki Brown Holdin' it down!!!" Wait! What???? She knew who I was!
I was shocked because I was new to the market and didn't think SHE would be someone who listened to me. I mean, DC is a top 10 market and who thinks about the midday girl in Baltimore?
(Ki Ki Brown and Angie Ange)
She and I never got together to discuss my non-profit, but I know the offer to help is always open. That's just the type of person Angie Ange is and I'm glad to have had the opportunity to meet her personally at a mutual friends' going away party a few months ago.
She and I exchanged information and I was able to get her to set some time aside from her busy schedule to grant me this one on one.
I'm curious to know what makes Angie Ange tick! What gets under her skin? Who was her worst celebrity interview? No spoilers but I'll tell you that she doesn't dish the negative. Angie Ang is one of the most positive radio chicks I know and that's a real good thing!
Make sure you check out her ROYAL HYPNESS, Angie Ange in the Afternoon on WKYS:
Your Royal HypeNess Angie Ange on the miiiiiiic!…or Angie Ange, 93.9WKYS DC Metropolitan/DMV Afternoon Drive 3p-7p
How long have you been in the radio business? Since I was 21 about to graduate from Howard University. I'm 30 now…let's go with 9 years
What is more enjoyable or different…TV or Radio? I've always loved radio b/c of its power to directly connect with people's minds. TV is a visual medium. With radio, the listener can't see you so there is a more imaginative component to it. They have to visualize through your words; therefore what you and say and how you say it gets more attention. With TV, we are all obsessed with what you have on, how you look, etc., etc. We are never really paying attention.(lol)
Would you say it's hard to work with/for women in radio than it is to work with/for men? I've never really had a problem with either male or female. They are all people, and people go through mood swings; different when under pressure or stress, etc. I try to learn the person I am working with or for. It's not about their sex for me. It's about their character and both male and female can be good and or bad. I've seen all from both. I don't have a preference. It's only hard if I don't make all efforts possible to create a positive working environment. Even mean people have a soft side if you look close enough!
(Angie Ange and DJ Quicksilva)
What do you think is the most challenging being a talent in your career?
The most challenging aspect of being a talent especially as a woman is to not be put in a box or relegated to what typically "female" personalities are supposed to do. A lot of times in radio, especially in DC, women are the gossip girls, the sidekick, or part of a team/supportive role of a leading male voice. They don't lead the morning shows, or night shows, or afternoon drive. They are usually a part of a team, and that's fun. I started doing the night show with Dj Quicksilva. But I always knew that I wanted to do it on my own. Just be myself. Not myself and someone else.
Eventually that opportunity came my way and Quick was telling me to go for it. It was my time to do my thing, but I received so much push back. It was as if the thought of me doing the show on my own was impossible. I proved otherwise and have done just fine as myself by myself. Then came Afternoon drive! Totally unexpected because I've never heard a woman in Afternoon Drive in DC! It's always been men in my years listening. So when they asked me did I want to do Afternoon Drive I was in total shock. It's such a blessing because now there will be a generation who grows up hearing a female voice in the Afternoon. It's going to become a new normal.
That makes me happy because I always admired that "the voice" of NY is considered to be Angie Martinez. That's power! I feel like I'm up there with the greats who are apart of DC radio history and who all inspired me: Candy Shannon (she was actually my professor at Howard!), Steph Lova (my all-time fav), Olivia Foxx (def the best), Jeannie Jones, Michel Wright, and Rane (my sister from another mister)
Did you (or do you) have a mentor in radio? If so, who are they and what have they helped you on in reference to your career?
My Mr. Miagi of radio is DJ Flexx. He took me in and taught me every aspect of radio. From knowing every single button on the board, to understanding the politics of things, to playing the game. He invested so much time in teaching me because he believed that I really wanted to do what I do today. I was hungry and I was committed and he put me to the ultimate test to make me strong. I didn't have thick skin at first. He made me tough. I will always (always) look to him on my journey. Most importantly he told me to learn as much as possible because it is the one thing no one can take from me. That's why I study my craft regularly and I study each department that makes up a radio station…sales, promotions, programming, engineering. I try to master each element. But I get all of that from Flexx. He was and still is my guardian angel in radio. I have other amazing mentors in my life: Adimu, who taught me game. (I started as his intern), and Rane (the only woman I had at the time who could understand everything I was going through. We were connected from day one, and she taught me a lot about being the only girl in a room full of boys! lol)
What was it about radio that struck your interest? I fell in love with radio when I realized I could come to work in my pajamas and no one would even know.(lol)That's when I knew radio was for me! I was hooked and it had my full interest
What genre of music do you like to listen to the most and why? I'm not a big genre person…I like different music. I'm more of an artist lover than a genre lover…. Badu is my muse…Lauryn is my goddess…Stevie is my spirit…Bob Marley is my heart…Jay Z is my swag…Jill is my soul…Nicki Minaj is my ego. (lol).That about sums it up; not sure what genre that is.
What is your LET IT GO song? (one that you would absolutely lose your mind listening to) "B*tch you guessed it"…OG Maco..lol!!! . (joke) but if I had one, .that would probably be it.
You've interviewed a lot of celebrities, was there ever a time you had an uncomfortable celebrity interview where it went terribly wrong? Describe.
NEVER! If the vibe isn't there, it will be a very short and to the point interview. (lol) Won't even let it get that far!
Who was the best celebrity encounter and why?
Best celebrity encounter was when I almost got killed by jill scott's security in Starbucks. Let's just say I didn't know they were there. All I saw was her! Until an arm came out of nowhere when I went to grab her and tell her I love her (lol). We all been friends ever since and she asked me if I sang or could rap b/c she was diggin my voice. This story has absolutely nothing to do with radio. (lol) But I had just started at WKYS and was very young looking and I don't think she believed me when I told her I was on the air, but she played along until she was doing an interview at Majic and I came around the corner again to say hi. I think she may have thought I was a stalker. A few years later I took my best friend Mo to see her at the Verizon Center and we went backstage and she was so awesome to us. She was in love with my hair and we became best friends again (in my head lol)

What's the biggest misconception about you? I don't know. Perception is reality for most; maybe that I don't sleep? If that were the case I would have broken down a long time ago… *kanye shrug*
Who do you most admire in the radio industry and why?
There isn't just one. There are many for a variety of reasons.
What was the best advice anyone ever gave you?
"Never Panic"
(Angie Ange and Wale)
What's the biggest misconception about women in radio?
I don't' know…I try my best not to get caught up in others misperceptions.
Where do you see urban radio in the next 10-15 years?
Lots of things are changing…quickly! I'm just along for the ride…I can't see that far ahead. but I look forward to urban radio's growth.
(Angie Ange and August Alsina)
What do you think is wrong, if you do, with hip hop and R&B?
Hip Hop and R&B is always evolving. I don't think that is a bad thing…either you grow with it or grow bitter about it…or just stick with the era you fell in love with; nothing wrong with either way, in my opinion. I'm the type to just be stuck in my era (Jodeci, TLC, SWV, Aaliyah, etc.) until I get in the club! Then I'm down with the new school! (lol)
Who do you think is the most under-appreciated artist out there right now?
Hmmmm….too many to name but I do appreciate the contributions of J. Cole, Kendrick Lamar, Wale, Janelle Monae, Elle Varner, Teyana Taylor, Logic, to name a few. (lol)
(Angie Ange and Trey Songz)
Who's in your iPod/radar? I'm still on CD's…Emile Sande, Janelle Monae, Bob Marley, Teyana Taylor, and J. Cole. (the car only takes 5 CD's at a time! Lol)
What do you want your legacy to be? I want my legacy to be peace, love, unity, and education. I want to bridge gaps between college grads and college students: college students and high school students, and high school students and middle school students. I want to restore a sense of responsibility to our communities. I want my legacy to say "As you move forward, give back. Help somebody!" That's all I want people to be able to say about me in the end. That I helped somebody; that is very important to me because many time, somebody helped me.
Biggest regret is….
Not listening to my trainer when I was about 25 and he told me my eating habits would catch up to me.(lol) the struggle is real now…
