COREY DUFFEL
November 24, 2017 by Lauren Espina
Corey Duffel is an inexplicable whirlwind of legendary skater realness, 45's, kindness, and style. He graced night two of Sea Witch fest with a groovy DJ set inspired by the vibe of the crowd. His wife, Rachel Travers, was headlining the night with Wax Idols, and having them both providing jams gave Brick and Mortar a warm loving glow. We talked must-have records, skating, and why LP's aren't anywhere in his collection.
SEA WITCH: What record do you not leave home without?
Corey Duffel: Something I'll always have with me is Stone Roses's "Made of Stone," "I Wanna Be Adored," or maybe "Sally Cinnamon," because a lot of times I'm with my wife Rachel (she's playing right now with Wax Idols) and that band just means a lot to her. A lot of the songs I play are songs I love because they're songs we share together. It's more me playing a song for her. A lot of the times its something that's a solid bond in our heart.
CD: You try to put a set together for the crowd, but you really just play what you want to hear and hope it works out for them too. I try to get something groovy, and if you don't like it, piss off.
SEA WITCH: Do you feel like its important to feel out the vibe before you start spinnin'?
CD: Yes! When I saw you with your shaved head in the crowd that just made me play The Cranberries. That's why I played "Salvation". I try to read my audience a little bit but it's kinda just what I want to hear. I just asked Wax Idols if they wanted to hear anything, and they were like, "You know what to play, just give us something you like." If there are close friends in the band, I'll play songs that they're going to hear and get stoked on but someone else in the crowd might be like , "Why the fuck are you playing the Walker Brothers?" and then I'm like, "Hey did you hear that Nick Cave song? That one was for you!"
SEA WITCH: Do you play with people whose music you don't know?
CD: Well tonight with Peter Danzig, he's been a friend of mine for over 10 years, but I've never heard his music before. And so I had no clue what he was going to be playing. Sometimes like tonight, I could play all post punk that would fit with Humid and Wax Idols, but for some reason I only wanted to play nothing but 90s hip hop tonight. That's just my vibe. It's nice to play alongside my wife. She's more talented than I am, I just have the record collection. She's a prized jewel.

SEA WITCH: Why only 45's?
CD: I like singles. It was just the way of the soul DJs in England, back in the 60s and 70s. My cousin does a soul club in Oakland called Silver and Black, and he's the one who introduced me to records as a kid. He let me know, he's like, 7 inches only, fuck LPs! And so it always stuck with me.
SEA WITCH: How did you transition from skateboarding into DJing?
CD: Well the music's always been a big part of my life and record collecting as well. I've always had a record collection , and records are meant to be heard. So finally I started asking my friends if I could play their shows and talked to club promoters and stuff and it just kind of happened ! And with skateboarding, I got to travel the world so much, so I was always going to amazing record stores before vinyl took over and everything got so expensive.
SEA WITCH: That's another good thing about 45s, is you can travel with them much easier.
CD: Thank you for saying that! Yeah, nobody wants a 12 inch. I don't care what they say. That's just too much.
CD: What's great about skateboarding and music is it's about individuality, so it doesn't really matter who's the best at something. You like people for a certain reason. Like Wax Idols, they touch you in a certain way. It's the same way that somebody skateboarding might connect to you.
SEA WITCH: What's your favorite place to DJ?
CD: I'm actually going to say Brick and Mortar tonight, because Danny the sound guy is fuckin' on point. It's anywhere you go where you have a really good sound guy who's actually passionate and willing to work with you and doesn't fade you out during the middle of a song. I can't stand that.
SEA WITCH: What's your go to liquor store snack when you're on the road?
CD: There's always peachy gummy-o's. And I really like the Sourpatch Watermelon Kids.

Scratching the Surface:
How Nicola-Jane McNeill Helped to
Grow a Multinational Parking Giant
By Matthew Sullivan ( m.sullivan@acc.com)
If you've ever parked
your car in a major city
across Canada or the
United States, chances
are that you've used
an Impark parking
lot. With over 3,400
parking facilities,
Impark is the largest parking operator
in Canada and the second largest in
North America. While some may look
at the parking industry and question
its complexity, Nicola-Jane McNeill,
vice president, legal affairs for Impark,
would argue that there's more than
meets the eye.
"I know parking is not the most glamorous industry, but as always, the backstory to most businesses is far more interesting than it might first appear," she explains.
In fact, there are a multitude of factors to consider when working in-house for a company like Impark.
How can you balance the price point of a parking lot to counteract the influx of ride-sharing services? How can technology streamline the parking experience to make it as comfortable as possible for the user? How can you optimize your service offerings to make Impark the provider of choice for parkers and property owners alike?
McNeill has spent the last 21 years helping to answer these questions, and has been a mainstay of Impark's legal department during its transformation from a small Canadian company located in British Columbia, to a multinational parking giant with locations in almost every major city in North America.
From an early age, McNeill has always seen the world from a global perspective. Her parents emigrated from Northern Ireland to Vancouver, British Columbia, when she was a child, and encouraged her to have the confidence to move away from home as an adult.

Food, Agriculture, Environment, and Development
Sophomore and above , Seminar—Year
Where does the food we eat come from? Why do some people have enough food to eat and others do not? Are there too many people for the world to feed? Who controls the world's food? Will global food prices continue their recent rapid rise? And, if so, what will be the consequences? What are the environmental impacts of our food production systems? How do answers to these questions differ by place or by the person asking the question? How have they changed over time? This course will explore the following fundamental issue: the relationship between development and the environment, focusing in particular on agriculture and the production and consumption of food. The questions above often hinge on the contentious debate concerning population, natural resources, and the environment. Thus, we will begin by critically assessing the fundamental ideological positions and philosophical paradigms of "modernization," as well as critical counterpoints that lie at the heart of this debate. Within this context of competing sets of philosophical assumptions concerning the population-resource debate, we will investigate the concept of "poverty" and the making of the "Third World," access to food, hunger, grain production and food aid, agricultural productivity (The Green and Gene Revolutions), biofuels, the role of transnational corporations (TNCs), the international division of labor, migration, globalization and global commodity chains, and the different strategies adopted by nation-states to "develop" natural resources and agricultural production. Through a historical investigation of environmental change and the biogeography of plant domestication and dispersal, we will look at the creation of indigenous, subsistence, peasant, plantation, collective, and commercial forms of agriculture. We will analyze the physical environment and ecology that help shape but rarely determine the organization of resource use and agriculture. Rather, through the dialectical rise of various political-economic systems such as feudalism, slavery, mercantilism, colonialism, capitalism, and socialism, we will study how humans have transformed the world's environments. We will follow with studies of specific issues: technological change in food production; commercialization and industrialization of agriculture and the decline of the family farm; food and public health, culture, and family; land grabbing and food security; the role of markets and transnational corporations in transforming the environment; and the global environmental changes stemming from modern agriculture, dams, deforestation, grassland destruction, desertification, biodiversity loss, and the interrelationship with climate change. Case studies of particular regions and issues will be drawn from Africa, Latin America, Asia, Europe, and the United States. The final part of the course examines the restructuring of the global economy and its relation to emergent international laws and institutions regulating trade, the environment, agriculture, resource extraction treaties, the changing role of the state, and competing conceptualizations of territoriality and control. We will end with discussions of emergent local, regional, and transnational coalitions for food self-reliance and food sovereignty, alternative and community supported agriculture, community-based resource management systems, sustainable development, and grassroots movements for social and environmental justice. Films, multimedia materials, and distinguished guests will be interspersed throughout the course. One farm field trip is possible, if funding permits. The seminar participants may also take a leading role in a campus-wide event on "food and agriculture," tentatively planned for the spring. Please mark your calendars when the dates are announced, as attendance for all of the above is required. Attendance and participation is also required at special guest lectures and film viewings in the Geography Lecture and Film Series—approximately once per month in the evening from 6-8 pm. The Web board is an important part of the course. Regular postings of assignments will be made there, along with follow-up commentaries. There will be in-class essays, debates, and small group discussions. Conferences will focus on in-depth analyses of course topics. You will be required to prepare a poster project and paper on a topic of your choice related to the course, which will be presented at the end of each semester in a special session.

Introduction to Development Studies: The Political Ecology of Development
Intermediate/Advanced , Seminar—Year
Experience in the social sciences is desired but not required.
In this yearlong seminar, we will begin by examining competing paradigms and approaches to understanding "development" and the "Third World." We will set the stage by answering the question: What did the world look like 500 years ago? The purpose of this part of the course is to acquaint us with and to analyze the historical origins and evolution of a world political-economy of which the "Third World" is an intrinsic component. We will thus study the transition from feudalism to capitalism, the rise of merchant and finance capital, and the colonization of the world by European powers. We will analyze case studies of colonial {development" to understand the evolving meaning of this term. These case studies will help us assess the varied legacies of colonialism apparent in the emergence of new nations through the fitful and uneven process of decolonization that followed. The next part of the course will look at the United Nations and its associated institutions and the role that they have played in the post-World War II global political-economy—one marked by persistent and intensifying socioeconomic inequalities, as well as frequent outbreaks of political violence across the globe. By examining the development institutions that have emerged and evolved since 1945, we will attempt to unravel the paradoxes of development in different eras. We will deconstruct the measures of development through a thematic exploration of population, resource use, poverty, access to food, the environment, agricultural productivity, and different development strategies adopted by Third World nation-states. We will then examine globalization and its relation to emergent international institutions and their policies; for example, the IMF, World Bank, AIIB, and WTO. We will then turn to contemporary development debates and controversies that increasingly find space in the headlines: widespread land grabbing by sovereign wealth funds, China, and hedge funds; the "global food crisis"; and the perils of climate change. Throughout the course, our investigations of international institutions, transnational corporations, the role of the state, and civil society will provide the backdrop for the final focus of the class: the emergence of regional coalitions for self-reliance, environmental and social justice, and sustainable development. Our analysis of development in practice will draw upon case studies primarily from Africa but also from Asia, Latin America and the Caribbean, and the United States. Conference work will be closely integrated with the themes of the course, with a two-stage substantive research project beginning in the fall semester and completed in the spring. Project presentations will incorporate a range of formats, from traditional papers to multimedia visual productions. Where possible and feasible, students will be encouraged to do primary research during fall study days and winter and spring breaks.
The Geography of Contemporary China: A Political Ecology of Reform, Global Integration, and Rise to Superpower
Intermediate , Seminar—Year
Some experience in the social sciences desired but not required.
Despite widespread daily reporting on China's rise to superpower status—and both its challenge to and its necessary partnership with the United States—what do we really know about the country? In this seminar, we will explore China's evolving place in the world through political-economic integration and globalization processes. We will consistently focus our efforts on reframing debates, both academic and in mass media, to enable new insights and analyses. We will begin with an overview of contemporary China, discussing the unique aspects of China's modern history and the changes and continuities from one era to the next. We will explore Revolutionary China and the subsequent socialist period to ground the seminar's focus: post-1978 reform and transformation to the present day. Rooted in the questions of agrarian change and rural development, we will also study seismic shifts in urban and industrial form and China's emergence as a global superpower on its way to becoming the world's largest economy. We will analyze the complex intertwining of the environmental, political-economic, and sociocultural aspects of these processes as we interpret the geography of contemporary China. Using a variety of theoretical perspectives, we will analyze a series of contemporary global debates: Is there a fundamental conflict between the environment and rapid development? What is the role of the peasantry in the modern world? What is the impact of different forms of state power and practice? How does globalization shape China's regional transformation? And, on the other hand, how does China's global integration impact development in every other country and region of the world? Modern China provides immense opportunities for exploring key theoretical and substantive questions of our time. A product first and foremost of its own complex history, other nation states and international actors and institutions—such as the World Bank, transnational corporations, and civil society—have also heavily influenced China. The "China model" of rapid growth is widely debated in terms of its efficacy as a development pathway, and yet it defies simple understandings and labels. Termed everything from neoliberalism to market socialism to authoritarian Keynesian capitalism, it is a model full of paradoxes and contradictions. Not least of these is its impact on global climate change. Other challenges include changing gender relations, rapid urbanization, and massive internal migration. In China today, contentious debates continue on land reform, the pros and cons of global market integration, the role of popular culture and the arts in society, how to define ethical behavior, the roots of China's social movements—from Tian'anmen to current widespread social unrest and discontent amongst workers, peasants, students, and intellectuals—and the meaning and potential resolution of minority conflicts in China's hinterlands. Land and resource grabs in China and abroad are central to China's rapid growth and its role as an industrial platform for the world. But resulting social inequality and environmental degradation challenge the legitimacy of China's leadership like never before. As China borders many of the most volatile places in the contemporary world and increasingly projects its power to the far corners of the planet, we will conclude our seminar with a discussion of security issues, geopolitics, and potential scenarios for China's future. Throughout the seminar, there will be comparisons with other areas of the world within the context of the broader theoretical and thematic questions mentioned above. Weekly selected readings, films, mass media, and books will be used to inform debate and discussion. A structured conference project will integrate closely with one of the diverse topics of the seminar.

With the advent of Yaser al-Habeeb the belief that sunnis are not muslims has taken some ground within one sector of the shia community, but did any of our classical scholars hold such belief? What is the classical shia view on sunnis, what is their status?

Can you please post proof that Yasser al-Habib believes that Sunnis are not Muslims?
Keep in mind that 99% of his followers do not represent him.
Kuffar means ungratefull and has been wrongly translated for centuries by power driven sectarian priests. It is high time we start using words with the proper meaning.

With the advent of youtube the belief that Yasser al-Habib is mad and a traitor has taken some ground within large parts of the Shia community,
but which of the shia scholars hold such a belief. What is the shia scholar opinion of Yasser al-Habib
IbnSohan 1,718
IbnSohan
Sunnis (non nasibi form ) are Muslims, ask all the sunni converts in this site. They are though kafir (disbelievers) in wilayah and thus are not mo'mins.. This is the Shia scholarly opinion on them since ever.
A Shia man may marry a Sunni woman, a Shia woman may mary a Sunni man with great dis-likeliness. Their food is halal and their blood, money and other rights of Muslim upon his brothers are preserved.
Yassir Alhabib is lil lecturer, to find out more and be more firm in your religion, let go of these minor arguments and read more Shi classical books. Scholars will not knock on your door to feed you, they may not even appear on tv to preach to you, they wrote books, they are open to questions and they believe that it is your own responsibility to seek knowledge.
I should have known better not to include such controversial names as Yaser al-Habeeb in my question. MY QUESTION IS NOT ABOUT HIM. My question is whether there were ANY significant Shia scholars, particularly in the classical era of Al-Mufid, Saduq, Tusi, etc. who were of the opinion that Sunnis are not Muslims.

I should have known better not to include such controversiall names as Yaser al-Habeeb in my question. MY QUESTION IS NOT ABOUT HIM. My question is whether there were ANY significant Shia scholars, particularly in the classical era of Al-Mufid, Saduq, Tusi, etc. who were of the opinion that Sunnis are not Muslims.
As far as I'm aware, Shaykh As-Sadooq mentioned that whoever rejected the 'Aimmah (as) is as if he rejected the Prophets (saws). Sheikh Mufeed also held a similar position in this regard. However, in regards to whether non-shi'i are considered 'Muslim' or not, we do have a Qur'anic verse & hadith to support it that they are still considered 'Muslim.'
The bedouins say, "We have believed." Say, "You have not [yet] believed; but say [instead], 'We have submitted,' for faith has not yet entered your hearts. And if you obey Allah and His Messenger, He will not deprive you from your deeds of anything. Indeed, Allah is Forgiving and Merciful." - Quran 49:14
And from him, from Muhammad bin Yahya, from Ahmad bin Muhammad, from Ali Bin Al-Hakam, from Sufyan Bin Al-Samit, who said:
"A man asked Abu Abdallah [as] about Al-Islam and the belief, what is the difference between the two?' So he [as] did not answer him. Then asked him [as] again, but he [as] did not answer him. Then they met up on a road, and the man was about to leave, so Abu Abdallah [as] said to him: 'It seems that you are about to leave?' So he said. 'Yes'.
He [as] said: 'Come and meet me in the house.' So he met him [as], and asked him [as] about Al-Islam and the belief [Al-Eman], what is the difference between the two? So he [as] said: 'Al-Islam is the apparent which the people are upon - testifying that there is no God but Allah [azwj], One with no associate to him, and that Muhammad [saws] is his servant and his messenger, and the establishing of the Prayer, and the giving of the Zakaat, and the pilgrimage of the house, and the fasting in the Month of Ramadhan, so this is Al-Islam.'
And he [as] said: 'The belief [Al-Eman] - recognise it? It is the command [Al-Wilayah] along with this. So if one accepts by it [Al-Islam] but does not recognise this command [Al-Wilayah], he would be a Muslim, but would be in a 'straying';
(Al-Kafi)
This is position is for the general muslims, however for the nawasib (I.e. the enemies of Allah & ahlulbayt), there is no doubt that they are kaafir and also those who purposely know the truth but reject it, then their Islam is also in question.

The only controversy is, is he mad or traitorous scum . Either way it is not permitted to follow a traitor or someone who is mad. Hope this helps
Al sodouq, Almufid, Alsistani etc are all students to Ahlulbayt. They all take their beliefs from Ahlulbayt and there should be no diffrenece between the ancient and the modern scholars.
Surely, ancient scholars had more raw materials and primary resources, but modern scholars have compilations of these resources that may not had all been in the hand of one ancient scholar, as well as compilation of works that explain the meaning and compare the similar hadiths.
All in all, we as shia from imam Ali time till today hold the same position that Sunnis are Muslims but not Mo'mins since they are oblivious or confused about a fundamental beliefs which is the wilayah, the last of obligations that was revealed upon prophet

OF COURSE Sunnis are Muslims.
Some of the Imams(as) studied along side them. Included among them are Imam Zayd(as) who quoted Sunni as well as Shia Hadith as long as they conformed to Quran and Sunnah and included them in his book Majmuah al Kabir. He himself was.influenced by his father Imam Zayn Al Abideen(as) and his cousin Imam Baqir (as). An example of a Sunni who studied along side them is Abu Hanifa who is the founder of the Sunni Hanafi mathaab and was a lover of Ahl Al Bayt though not what we would call a Shia. I believe the founder of the Shafi school studied under them too. Imam Jafar As Sadiq (as) also had Sunnis in his study circle.
The difference between early Sunni and Shia Muslims was mostly political. Indeed some of the first people to support Imam Ali (as) were the Ansar of Medina. Imam Ali (as) was the ONLY one of the Muhajirun they supported as a candidate for Khalifa. They did NOT think he was divinely appointed to lead the Ummah but simply that he was the best of Muslims.
The different schools of fiqh had not been developed yet. And there was noone yet who believed in a 12 man Imamate. Nor was their anybody claiming that abu bakr, umar, uthman, or Imam Ali(as) were "rashidun". That type of Sunni thought was brought about by ibn Taymiyah .
So YES we are all Muslims though some of us are misguided.And that was always the position of the only scholars who REALLY matter, the Blessed Ahl Al Bayt(as)

Quick question. Did Imam Jafar as know that he was an Imam? Did he tell this to the Sunni imams that studied with/around him?

lol...Are twelvers muslim? Has any classical alim considered Imamah to be from the usool?
IQRA07 and igotquestions
Probably Saduq. He came very close to say that the Sunnis are kafir and 'disbeliever' based on his interpretation of the Prophet hadith (that is even valid and accepted by the Sunnis). He said that "Anyone who doesn't believe in the Imamah in any of the twelve Imams is as same as those who didn't believe/accept in the Imamah of Imam Ali and they will be in the same state as those who die a kafir/state of jahiliah".

Outsourcing is often considered to be synonymous with offshore freelancing, but like every other industry, even the outsourcing industry has evolved and grown. Today, while freelancers still control a portion of the outsourcing pie, large chunks of it have been taken over by a completely new breed of workers known as the 'virtual' or the 'remote' employee.
The virtual employee is an invaluable human resource and a vast improvement on the more mercurial freelancer. For one, the remote employee works full-time and in a dedicated manner; and second, the remote employee is your exclusive employee for as long as you wish.
For small and medium sized enterprises, particularly, the remote employee has come as an answer to prayers. Offshore extensions of their already small cash-strapped offices were out of the question and freelancers had proved to be more stressful than beneficial. The virtual employee represented a happy medium and an affordable at that.
The best part is that one can hire a full-time remote employee and outsource just about any office work that can be worked out with a PC and an internet connection.
You can hire a Virtual Employee in just about any office field; from programming, law, accounts and engineering to content writing and transcriptionist, virtual assistants and even customer service agents. The skilled remote employee helps you fill a vacuum that you cannot fill at home.
Virtual Employee.com has access to an abundant talent pool of some of the best brains in every field, thanks to its strategic location in the heart of the National Capital Region (NCR) of India. As a result, the moment, a client's request is received, it takes only 24-48 hours for the efficient HR team to track down a list of suitable resumes to match that particular job profile.
The remote employee has much in common with your regularly employed and physically present worker, except that the former is sitting halfway across the globe in an outsourcing vendor's office.
1. The full-time employee is a huge improvement on a freelancer, who can devote just a few hours per day to your work since they are juggling multiple clients and their assignments simultaneously.
2. The remote employee is a highly skilled individual in the domain that you desire and effectively fills a yawning gap in your own setup back home.
3. You can easily build an entire virtual team made up of skilled professionals in fields as varied as software programming, content writing, database management and internet marketing. They would all be working exclusively for you, from one office.
So, the bottomline is that as long as you are able to hire a remote employee who works full-time for you, you can outsource just about any office work to them.


The team's new title sponsor will officially change on May 1.
Jim Ratcliffe, owner of chemical company Ineos and reportedly the richest man in Britain, has bought Team Sky.
The team will lose its title sponsor, British broadcaster Sky, and become Team Ineos starting at the Tour de Yorkshire in May.
Team Sky launched in 2010 and has since won eight Grand Tours, including six Tour de France titles.
Team Sky has a new owner, and soon it will get a new name.
Known as Britain's richest man, Ratcliffe has a personal fortune estimated to exceed £21 billion (almost $28 billion). He will reportedly pump £40 million ($53 million) a year into his new WorldTour team, which has enjoyed tremendous success since its launch in 2010, winning eight Grand Tour titles, including six at the Tour de France. In return, Ineos will be the team's sole sponsor going forward.
Sky, the British broadcasting company, revealed in December that it would end its team sponsorship after the 2019 season. But the Ineos rebrand will go into effect after April, with the Tour de Yorkshire becoming the team's first official race under its new name.
Team Sky manager David Brailsford with four-time Tour de France winner Chris Froome.
A team statement on Tuesday confirmed that Ineos will "fund the current team in full, honoring all existing commitments to riders, staff, and partners." Brailsford will stay on as general manager, and the 12 riders under contract for 2020—including Froome, 2018 Tour de France winner Geraint Thomas, and Egan Bernal—will keep racing with the team.
Brailsford is largely credited with turning the U.K. into a cycling superpower via both the British Olympic Team and Team Sky, which he's led since the beginning using a strategy of "marginal gains" (incremental adjustments that lead to large jumps in performance). With a generous budget, the team made big hires and could apply meticulous training regimens that all but assured strong showings throughout the cycling season. Brailsford even brought in a surgeon to teach riders how to properly wash their hands.
The increased funding from Ineos—at least an additional £5 million ($6.6 million) per year—will likely result in the team pushing the boundaries of training and techniques even further.


Boca Raton is a gem of a place – polished, multifaceted and sought-after by the discriminating for the better part of a century. Much less developed than most of South Florida, this serene and sun-kissed stretch of coast between Palm Beach and Fort Lauderdale is a year-round feast for the senses.

The quality of life in Boca Raton is simply exceptional, as your Boca Raton Realtors will tell you. Incorporated in 1925 but settled in the late 19th century, the city and its surrounding areas have long been known as a scenic tropical haven offering relaxation, excitement, sophisticated pleasures and the thrill of the outdoors in equal measure. Here you will find everything from the laidback coastal beauty of Red Reef Beach and South Beach to the gracious, Mizner-inspired architecture of the downtown area to attractions such as the Boca Raton Museum of Art and Mizner Park.

Wherever you may be in Boca Raton, one thing is certain – you will never be too far from the beach.

The Smiths, your Boca Raton Realtors, can tell you more about the community's pristine stretch of creamy beaches, the deep blue waters of the Atlantic Ocean, the numerous green, open areas, and the mild climate that lets you enjoy the resort lifestyle all year round. If you're new to the area, consult with a seasoned Boca Raton Realtor – The Smiths will gladly serve as your guide to the community, as well as to the Boca Raton luxury real estate market.
The city has a variety of beaches within its boundaries and countless more within easy driving distance.The Spanish River Park, which has the lagoon and Intracoastal Waterway on one side and the ocean on the other, offers direct access to a wide sandy beach, as well as a host of other features. There are pavilions, picnic facilities, playgrounds and a seaside golf course here and popular activities include strolling through the nature trails and fishing in the Intracoastal Waterway and the ocean.
Those looking for an even more relaxing setting should head to the 24-acre South Beach Park. There are no picnic facilities here, as your Boca Raton Realtor The Smiths, will tell you, but the half-mile beach is tranquil and offers countless delights. Then there's South Inlet Park, which has its own pier and jetty, an excellent spot for fishing and sightseeing. Golf, tennis, yachting, equestrian, windsurfing, canoeing, sail boarding and jet-skiing are only some of the activities Boca Raton offers.
While all of Boca Raton's beaches offer unparalleled relaxation and recreation opportunities, not to mention scenic splendor, one beach is a particular favorite among residents and visitors both.
Ask your Boca Raton Realtor, The Smiths, about Red Reef Park. Accessible through its entrance at 1400 N. State Road A-1-A, the park sprawls across 67 acres and includes a peaceful beach, as well as a manmade reef located close to the shore. The easily accessible reef is a favorite destination of snorkelers of all ages who marvel at the rock formations and colorful sea life that make their home here. Also in Red Reef is the 20-acre Gumbo Limbo Nature Center, which has one of South Florida's few remaining coastal hammocks in its midst. As your Boca Raton Realtor will tell you, residents of the city care a great deal for the environment and the center is staffed mostly by volunteers.
The Gumbo Limbo Nature Center lets you re-imagine the Boca Raton area as it must have been before it was settled – a place of lush coastal forests and a diversity of wildlife. View some of the wildlife in the butterfly garden, the saltwater tanks, and the indoor museum. From spring to early fall, you can even observe sea turtles landing and laying their eggs.

If you claim Joe Morgan, do you have to listen to him ramble on nonsensically for hours on end about what it was like when he played the game?
Yeah, there's good reason why he wasn't taken in the initial draft.
I want that Joe Morgan card and I'm still not taking him in this weeks FA draft.

HOUSTON - The Houston Texans announced today that they have placed RB Stacey Mack on the Reserve/Injured list with a left toe sprain.
Mack (6-1, 241) has started 18 of 58 games played. He has 465 career rushing attempts for 1,751 yards and 23 touchdowns and has also recorded 43 career receptions for 299 yards and one touchdown in four seasons with the Jaguars (1999-2002) and one season with the Texans (2003). Mack entered the league as the only undrafted rookie to make Jacksonville's opening day roster in 1999. After two years at Southwest Mississippi College, Mack transferred to Temple. As a senior in 1998, he became the first running back in school history to earn All-Big East honors. As an All-American and a two-time All-State selection at Boone (FL) High School, Mack rushed for 4,093 yards and 37 touchdowns.

Long Avenue I is a 4,700 square foot, 3 level single family residence built for a family of 4. It was built along with the speculative Long Avenue II on two identical lots in a neighborhood entirely populated by homes built in the 1950's. The design intent was to create a home that was different in style, but appropriate in scale and materials to its the post-war neighbors; to work within the suburban paradigm while expressing an urban sensibility. Small in scale and introverted, the front of the house sets up a procession from compressed entry space to expansive and light filled interior.
With neighboring homes in close proximity, exterior side walls are expressed monolithically in masonry, while the end walls facing the front and rear yards of the property are clad in light cedar and glass. A south facing courtyard is placed to provide focus, light and ventilation for center rooms. A 2 story curtain wall defines the courtyard which is visually protected with a high garden wall. The home is extremely energy efficient due to thoughtful siting and material specifications.

Thank you for mentioning this information! I'm in the same boat and I actually e-mailed them yesterday asking about the compatibility between the 62cm head and 1/3 girl body. They only told me it was not compatible (without that explanation). I really want to get Cynthia since she's perfect for a doll I've been wanting to make for so long, but the default body doesn't work for the character in mind.
Me too! But my preference is actually the 62cm body. I am so loving their long legs. Unfortunately, the heads that I want are only compatible with their 1/3 body.
@be.enzo What a coincidence! I don't have an issue with the 62cm body in general, but my girl would wear a lot of torso exposing tops and I know the obvious division of the body would bug me. I would definitely be fine with the 62cm body for a fully-clothed doll, but all of the Angell-Studio sculpts I like fit potential characters that show more skin. I think it's a bit unfortunate that I can't combine certain heads with certain bodies.
I find it kind of strange that some heads are available and others aren't, especially since Lan Ling isn't even limited? I think it's worth asking them about it, at least.
I decided to give up on Cynthia. I found a replacement sculpt from a different company that isn't as perfect but works very well. I'm keeping an eye out for new 1/3 youth girls from Angell-Studio so I can add one to my collection eventually. It would be a shame to not have one!
I'm a new doll owner and decided to get an Angell Studio as my first BJD!
Im a bit scared right now since it is my first time ordering a BJD >.< thank you!
Chang E is also one of the sculpts I considered before. I'm sure she's going to be more charming in person.
I ordered Hua Yue last November through our local AS agent. According to her, production and delivery time will take about 2-3 months. But I'm still hoping that she'll be delivered by mid-January. Good thing that you ordered her earlier because I think they don't produce anything weeks before and after Chinese New Year.
When I ordered my Diao-Chan in November of 2016, she finally arrived in mid March. However, Chinese New Year happens in February, and getting ANYTHING shipped from China during that time is a no-go. This is a truism for BJDs as it is for every business I've worked for that has to deal with recieving items from there. So don't worry if it takes an extra month.
I also ordered my tan version of Daxue Mermaid on June 28, but she isnt shipped yet.
@GreenTeaSlug Yes, I think it is a gorgeous body! It's good to know that it will pose nicely as well. Thank you once again for all of the information. It really helps to get an idea of what would happen if you try to mix the two. DongZhi is so pretty with her full set and she seems very tempting! It might change my 2019 doll plans a bit, but I'm seriously considering her since she is limited. What timing!
@NoodIes ChangE has the 62cm girl body and not the 2017 1/3 girl body. You can find the details on each doll's product page. I really like her, too! Her sculpt seems very versatile.
Hi! Newbie collector here. I find that I love dolls who look nice in hanfu (traditional Chinese clothes) the best, and looking through Angell Studio's catalog, I really fell in love with Huaxi 10th anniversary edition. He seems to be a limited doll though? I was checking the inclusions in the site for the fullset, and strangely enough, the wig and boots are listed, but not his clothes? At least, those are included in the checkboxes, but not the clothes.
I can read a little Chinese, and the promotional image included in his page says that the fullset includes the clothes though. Can anybody help me clarify this?
The message at the bottom says the clothes are not included. He was released a while ago and the outfit set may be sold out. You might ask Angell-Studio though!
I already asked the local AS dealer for a quote. She said its fullset including a commemorative book. But I might check with her again just in case.
I think he may come with the clothes by default? I was surprised to see him costing $700+ which seems much more pricey than other blank 71cm AS dolls. It could be that you just can't get the clothes separately from him and that's why they're not shown?
Angell Studio left in the notice at the bottom of the product page that the price is for the basic doll only, no clothing or accessories included. If anyone wants to buy the full set, the chinese text seems to say that the full set purchase comes with a 12% discount, so it couldn't hurt to ask Angell Studio about being able to purchase the outfit along with the rest of the set.
I'm also not sure why it's 700+ aside from it being a limited release. It's nice update of the original Hua Xi, with the outfit details being more articulate and the faceup style is updated. I feel like they also changed his nose shape slightly, I don't know if that's just me? However, it's a large jump in price.
I'm still really glad to see this update of Hua Xi!
I've seen Hua Xi V1.0, and I didn't like him as much as this 10th anniversary Hua Xi. The difference a good faceup makes, I suppose? And yeah, the nose does feel different, but maybe that's due to the blushing?


The number of websites supporting HTTPS -- HTTP over encrypted SSL/TLS connections -- has skyrocketed over the past year. There are many benefits to turning on encryption, so if your website does not yet support the technology it's time to make the move.
Meanwhile, a February survey of the world's top 1 million most-visited websites revealed that 20 percent of them supported HTTPS, compared to around 14 percent back in August. That's an impressive growth rate of over 40 percent in half a year.
"As a community I feel we've done a lot of good in this area, explaining why everybody should use HTTPS," said Ivan Ristic, former head of the Qualys SSL Labs and author of a book, Bulletproof SSL and TLS. "Especially browsers, with their indicators and constant improvements, are compelling companies to switch."

Exclusive: Interview with 'Black Clover' Manga Editor Alexis Kirsch!
September 18th, 2017 Shawnee Hale Anime
Alexis Kirsch is a influential editor and translator over at Viz Media, and has worked on titles such as One Piece, Rurouni Kenshin, JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, and Boruto (Just to name a few!) He also worked on the Black Clover manga which is receiving a anime adaptation this October.
We were very lucky to get to ask Alexis some of our burning questions about his life as a manga editor and his feelings toward Black Clover and its main characters!
As an editor I'm sure you have read A LOT of manga in your life-time. Do you remember what your gateway manga was that led you down this path? Do you often read manga outside of work? If so, can you tell us some of your favorites?
I was a huge manga fan as a kid living in Japan. My family moved there when I was in elementary school and I got hooked on Shonen Jump and Dragon Ball in particular. I used to own close to 800 volumes of manga at home. And while I've pared that down a bit, I still have two bookshelves full of manga. I don't read as much at home as I used to but re-reading series like Naruto, One Piece and Death Note is always a pleasure.
A large part of your job is translating manga to bring it to life for a new audience! Have you ever run into a word that was confused for another word in English or maybe didn't have an English meaning?
This is a constant battle. Translation is not an exact science. Finding the right word can be a challenge, but the toughest part is comedy. The Japanese language has a variety of dialects or accents that can be funny all on their own, no matter what the character is saying. Stuff like that is really tough to translate without getting super creative.
When you are localizing the series for an English speaking audience do you have to make any changes to make the story more relatable to the foreign audience? Have you ever run into any situations that only exist in Japanese culture and would be hard to explain to someone in a Western country?
We try to minimize the number of changes we have to make. Our audience is very sophisticated and appreciate when the original intention of the creator is retained. My personal philosophy is to try to keep the original meaning while inserting an explanation. It's a delicate balance. There was a scene in a recent series where the main character had a bag of bread crusts for his school lunch. In Japan, this is a common trope. It indicates that the character is so poor that he went to a bakery and asked for the cutoff ends of the bread that are usually thrown away. But a western reader might never have heard of that. So it's good to try and explain it in the dialog if possible.
What drove you to work on Black Clover? Had you read or seen the manga in Japanese prior? Had you read Tabata-San's previous work Hungry Joker?
We generally receive rough drafts of the new series a few weeks before they launch and I could tell Black Clover was going to be really good from the first time I read it. I volunteered to edit it before anyone else could because I find it much more rewarding to work on series that I enjoy reading. I didn't follow Hungry Joker that closely, but I was familiar with it. That was a pretty solid series and a lot of people were anticipating Tabata Sensei's next series.
When working on Black Clover has there been any instances in the story or character development that truly shocked you?
Black Clover isn't exactly a huge plot twist-filled type of series, but I thought the first chapter was really well done in this regard. (SPOILER ALERT!) Throughout the chapter, you get the impression that Yuno is a jerk who dislikes Asta. But then it turns out that he believes in Asta even more than Asta believes in himself. And then the shock at the end of the chapter when Asta gets possibly demonic anti-magic powers. It's just such a well-done first chapter that gets you hyped enough to keep reading.
Who do you relate to more? Asta or Yuno? Would you rather have anti-magic power and physical strength or be a magic prodigy?
Personality-wise, I'm more like Yuno. Very few people are as loud and boisterous as Asta. But Asta's powers seem a lot more fun and satisfying.
Who are you rooting for to become the Wizard King?
I'm hoping the series introduces some more competition. Asta and Yuno have been doing too well in the recent chapters. I'd like to see some new characters who cut them down to size a little bit. Otherwise they might start getting cocky!
Are you excited to see the anime adaptation? Do you think there will be any key differences between the anime and the manga?
I'm super excited. I'm sure there'll be a lot of small differences and I'm looking forward to catching them all. I'm especially excited for the intro animation and music. It looks like they cast some really strong voice actors and I anticipate the Black Clover anime being one of the top new series in the fall.
An exclusive Black Clover item is available in this month's Loot Anime SURVIVE crate! Order by 9/27 so you don't miss out!

When I first started doodling, I was very bad at it. Believe me, so very bad that I couldn't even draw a straight line or a circle. I wanted to make so many things but I didn't bother, because I was sure I wouldn't make it correct.
But slowly! Trying so hard, A marker was, all I needed.
After months of doodling, I picked up a brush. My first painting was not a painting, but It turned out so much better than what I expected,& I was so proud of myself.
Since then, doodling & painting have been two of my biggest getaways! One thing I adore about painting is that I don't put the brush down, till I'm done. I think about things, I talk to myself, I laugh, I sing.
I've come up from not being able to make a single correct circle to filling art journals & notebooks because I can't stop creating and trying.Looking at what I've made makes me so warm inside.
Yess I love doodling, I love playing with colors.

Euro 2020 Postponed Until Summer Of 2021
Quadrennial tournament was to be held across 12 European cities and was scheduled to begin on June 12
Abdul Samad
UEFA has postponed Euro 2020 until the summer of 2021 to allow European leagues more time to complete their seasons amid the coronavirus pandemic.
The news was first confirmed by the Norwegian FA on social media. According to their tweet, the competition will be played between June 11 and July 11, 2021.
The decision comes after UEFA held conference calls with its 55 member associations, the board of the European Club Association and the board of the European Leagues.
Domestic competitions across Europe were due to be finished before Euro 2020, which was to be held in 12 different cities, began on June 12.
However, leagues across the continent have been halted in response to the coronavirus outbreak, which has seen more than 169,000 people become infected around the world.
The World Health Organisation says Europe is now the epicentre of the pandemic, which originated in China.
The scale and speed of the spread of coronavirus has stunned European football administrators.
Only two weeks ago it was barely discussed as all 55 associations gathered in Amsterdam for UEFA Congress and the Nations League draw.
The virus was referenced "in minutes" by UEFA's top committee, as some officials in hotels joked about whether to shake people's hands.
"The focus was obviously not on coronavirus," said UEFA executive Alexey Sorokin bluntly, as St Petersburg continued its preparations to host four games including a quarter-final.
"We already reserved the hotels, it would be a problem if it doesn't happen," smiled UEFA president Aleksander Ceferin, in an interview with Sky Sports News, when asked about the semi-finals at final at Wembley.
Ceferin acknowledged his organisation was "taking it seriously" and stressed the need for a calm approach.
"The situation is stable" was the reassuring tone from organisers.
But how could officials be so optimistic? Even medical experts had no idea exactly what would happen.
Rapid, deadly, developments forced the game to seriously reconsider its approach.
Suddenly, players and coaches tested positive, teams were affected, competitions were suspended, travel restrictions were put in place and European countries were placed into lockdown.
The postponement of Euro 2020 is no surprise – it was impossible to provide any certainty on venues in such an uncertain climate.
Financial penalties, logistical challenges and fixture congestion are conversations for another day.
This is a seismic moment in the history of football but the game knows, and understands, that public health must always remain the number one priority in these extraordinary times.

APC to review petitions against indirect primaries in Kogi
THE All Progressives Congress (APC) says it will review petitions from some stakeholders in Kogi in reaction to Indirect Primaries adopted for the election of the party's candidate for the Nov. 16, Kogi governorship poll.
The ruling party said this in a statement signed by its National Publicity Secretary, Malam Lanre Issa-Onilu in Abuja on Wednesday.
"The National Working Committee (NWC) of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has received petitions from some stakeholders in Kogi State in reaction to Indirect Primaries adopted for the election of the Party's candidate for the forthcoming Governorship election in the state.
"The NWC will look at the merit of the petitions in line with the Party's constitution and come out with a position in due course.
"The NWC, therefore, thank the aggrieved APC stakeholders in Kogi State for the peaceful manner in which they have conducted themselves so far and their trust in the NWC to do the right thing.," Issa-Onilu said.
According to him, it needs restating that the APC constitution, which was reemphasized by a decision of National Executive Committee (NEC) provides for three modes of primaries to elect party candidates – Indirect, Direct Primaries and consensus.
"This is depending on the peculiarities of the state and preferences of the stakeholders in respective elections.
We assure all concerned parties that the NWC would be guided only by our rules,"APC spokesman said.
