As next generation of star quarterbacks collide, Eagles can rest easy knowing they've found 'the one'
By Liam Jenkins Posted on December 7, 2017
FILE – In this April 28, 2016, file photo, Jared Goff, left, after being selected by Los Angeles Rams as their number one overall pick and Carson Wentz, after being selected by the Philadelphia Eagles as their top pick in the first round of the 2016 NFL football draft, greet fans at Selection Square in Grant Park, in Chicago. Your assignment, as No. 1 overall pick in April's draft who has not gotten on the field yet, but starts Sunday for the Rams against the Dolphins, is simple: win. Just go out and play like fellow rookie quarterbacks Dak Prescott in Dallas and Carson Wentz in Philadelphia have done. (AP Photo/Matt Marton, File)

The paths of Carson Wentz and Jared Goff will be forever intertwined. Two teams mortgaged their future in order to trade up and acquire the services of one of the top quarterback talents in last year's draft class. It was a time of uncertainty and excitement for both franchises. One year later, there is still a sense of those same emotions, but for very different reasons.
It's easy to wonder 'What if?'. What if the Rams did pull the trigger on Carson Wentz? What if it was Jared Goff who fell gracefully into the laps of the Eagles at number 2? It was a realistic possibility. The Eagles spent plenty of time with the Cal product during the Draft process and just over a season and a half later, it appears that all of the pre-draft evaluations on both quarterbacks have come to fruition.
"We obviously looked at him closely." Offensive coordinator said on his personal experience with the Rams quarterback. "Thought highly of him as a quarterback-mentality person. His tape was all good, all positive. Had high opinions of him."
The consensus before the draft was that while Goff may have been the more polished prospect who competed against a higher level of competition, the pro-style experience that Carson Wentz brought to the table would make him just has dangerous. While Goff had never taken a snap under center prior to being drafted, his touch on the deep ball was clear. Wentz meanwhile, brought a strong work ethic and the promise of a 6'5 gunslinger who would lead through his play on the field. Their rookie seasons debatably went as many expected, despite circumstances nobody could have predicted. Goff struggled to adapt to life in the NFL under Jeff Fisher, while Wentz showed signs of developing into the franchise quarterback the Eagles drafted him to be.
"Well, you see a lot of the same characteristics in the two quarterbacks." Doug Pederson alluded to in his Wednesday press conference. "Obviously size, strength, athleticism. Both have great IQ, football intelligence. And athletic guys in both quarterbacks.
I think, too, in both cases, it just comes down to having really good coaching around each quarterback, each young quarterback, and you can see the growth that Jared's made over the course of the past year. And obviously it's a direct relationship to the run game and the offensive line staying intact, and playing great defense and special teams.
So all of that is something that they have benefitted this season, and Jared has done a nice job with that and obviously he's being coached well."
Being coached well would be an understatement. After tossing 5 touchdowns during his 7 games as a rookie, Goff has 20 under his belt in year two. Completing 244-of-392 passing attempts and throwing just six interceptions, Goff comes into this matchup with a 98.4 QB rating. What's scary for the Eagles is that he has been heating up…really, really fast.
Goff established a career-best 355 yards passing vs. Houston in Week 10 win and a career-high 146.8 QB rating in Week 9 win against the Giants, where he averaged 22.2 yards per completion.
"He's still young. They're using him a lot the same way that Washington uses [QB] Kirk Cousins." Jim Schwartz explained earlier this week. "A lot of the same kind of plays, a lot of deep balls down the field. He's got confidence in throwing the deep ball. He's got some scramble ability, nothing like we faced last week, but he's moved around a little bit. Run some boots and play-action stuff. He's had a good command of the offense."
Jared Goff is the only quarterback in Rams history to pass for 300-plus yards, three touchdown and no interceptions in consecutive games. He is also one-of-five quarterbacks this season to post multiple games with that feat, joining Alex Smith, Kirk Cousins, Russell Wilson and Tom Brady. It's safe to say that under Sean McVay, Goff has spread the ball around beautifully and flourished under the command of a quarterback guru. Leading the NFL in scoring, Goff and the Rams have been tearing through opponents in a similar fashion to the Eagles…and that's where Carson Wentz comes in.
Wentz leads the NFL with 29 passing TDs, which is tied for the 4th- most in Eagles single-season history. The 2nd-overall pick to Goff is just the third QB to throw 29+ TDs and no more than 6 INTs through 12 games, joining Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers as the only quarterbacks to do so. Staggeringly, he's also thrown 1+ TD and no more than 1 INT in 14 straight games, which is the longest streak in Eagles history and the longest streak by an NFL player since Matt Ryan's 21 game stretch between 12/20/15 and 9/17/17.
The NFC offensive player of the month back in October, Carson Wentz has set the league alight with his dazzling ability to extend plays, his humility and his huge leap from year one to year two. Wentz has been a breath of fresh air into a City that was crying out for a gust of wind and has become more than just the future of the Eagles, he's become a cultural inspiration.
The fruits of the 2016 NFL Draft are being labored. Both Jared Goff and Carson Wentz are legitimate MVP candidates and face-off for the first time on Sunday. This is marquee matchup that could last for years. Both NFC powerhouses are becoming offensive juggernauts with rampant run-games, dominant defenses and sensational special teams. To become contenders for the next 5 years and beyond, they need a franchise quarterback. And it's safe to say that both teams have found their man.
There is no regret for the Philadelphia Eagles. No longing for what might have been, no questioning 'what if' scenarios. Carson Wentz is here to stay. A player who has had a massive impact in the community away from the field, and in the hearts of the fans who surround it. Wentz is more than just a quarterback…he's the player who will inspire a generation of NFL players. The beauty of it is, that Jared Goff will too…and we will be treated for a rivalry between stars for years and years to come.

The act consolidates sweeping powers, including enhanced surveillance capacity, in the hands of the Internal Security Agency (ISA), with no independent oversight mechanism to prevent abuse and ensure proper accountability.
Under the law, the ISA will be able to access data from virtually every government agency (e.g. other law enforcement agencies, social security agency, financial institutions, and local authorities, among many others) and from private companies. The ISA would also have access to closed-circuit television (CCTV) recordings from public facilities, roadways and other public locations. Decisions regarding security and intelligence operations, including surveillance and other monitoring of alleged terrorism suspects, would be left solely to the ISA in consultation only with the Prosecutor General who, under another new law, is also the Minister of Justice.
Polish government claims that the draft Anti-terrorism Law is necessary in order to increase coordination of the intelligence agencies and prepare for potential security threats related to the upcoming NATO summit (July 2016) and World Youth Day (June 2016). While the need to enhance management of information flows among the existing agencies and introduce better coordination mechanisms seems evident, the proposed law is going much further in terms of limiting fundamental rights, especially when it comes to foreigners living in or visiting the country.
Panoptykon Foundation believes that the proposed law contains certain measures that are inconsistent with the Polish Constitution and with the European Convention on Human Rights. In fact, discriminatory treatment of foreigners (including other EU nationals) is at the very essence of the proposal. Regardless of the criticism coming from inside and outside of the country, the government wants the new law to enter into force on June 1, 2016.
This analysis of the draft Anti-terrorist Act presents the key concerns, including broad definition of "an event of a terrorist nature", the scope of operational control towards foreigners and the possibility of blocking of access to Internet websites/online content.
A bill consolidates sweeping powers, including enhanced surveillance capacity, in the hands of the Internal Security Agency (ISA), with no independent oversight mechanism to prevent abuse and ensure proper accountability. The bill risks violating the rights to liberty, privacy, expression, association, peaceful assembly, and non-discrimination.

The Funniest Late Night with Conan O'Brien Live Remotes
By Garrett Martin | July 8, 2020 | 5:45pm
Comedy Features Conan O'Brien
Conan O'Brien recently made news by moving his TBS talk show Conan from quarantine-era home recording to the famous Largo theater in West Hollywood. That makes Largo, which is well-known for Jon Brion's long-running residency and for hosting a variety of hip comedy shows, the site of the first talk show to be shot outside of its host's home since the pandemic started. It's not just an attempt to get attention for O'Brien's show, but also a way to help support Largo at a time when it needs it—and in the process a way to raise awareness about the existential threat facing theaters like Largo at this time.
Conan, of course, is the third talk show O'Brien's hosted since he first took over NBC's Late Night from David Letterman in 1993. After a rough start he quickly turned into the best talk show host in America; he was always a fantastic comedy writer, as his legendary work on The Simpsons and Saturday Night Live attests, but when he became comfortable as a performer and an interview he set the standard for late night talk shows.
As good as Conan can be, and as much as I enjoyed his brief stint hosting the Tonight Show, O'Brien's comedy legacy rests on the fantastic work he did on Late Night with Conan O'Brien from 1993 to 2009. He preserved the irreverent, anarchic spirit of Letterman's time on the show, but with a lighter, goofier, more absurd bent. And as funny as Conan's interviews could be, and as memorable as the show's characters are, the best part of Late Night was his remotes. These comedy sketches let Conan get out of the studio and interact with everyday people, usually to hilarious effect. They should be mandatory viewing for anybody who somehow gets the chance to host their own TV show.
For years it was hard to watch these old clips from Late Night. Most of O'Brien's time on the show came well before YouTube or streaming, and the best fans could do was occasionally find dodgy uploads from old VHS tapes. Fortunately O'Brien's Team Coco has been uploading these classic sketches to the Conan Classic website and YouTube page over the last couple of years, letting everybody watch high quality versions of them whenever they'd like. And since it's been a while since we've written about them here at Paste—or about Conan O'Brien and his influence on the talk show and TV comedy—now's a perfect time to look at five of our favorite Late Night sketches.
Conan Plays Old Timey Baseball
Probably the most beloved Conan sketch of all time turned 16 a couple of weeks ago, which, yeah, makes me feel seriously old. Conan's visit to the Old Bethpage Village Restoration, where reenactors play baseball like it's still the 1800s, sums up everything good about Late Night and Conan's approach to comedy. It's fixated on a weird, niche activity that most people wouldn't ever consider, and somehow makes fun of it and the people who do it without ever feeling mean-spirited. It's also a fantastic outlet for Conan's more whimsical and absurd side. And with the 2020 Major League Baseball season still delayed, it's probably the best diamond action you can find right now.
Conan Goes to Houston to Find Viewers
Not all NBC affiliates were happy with Late Night in its early days. The NBC station in Houston notoriously scheduled the show well after it's official time slot, dumping it to 2:40 a.m. CT, after reruns of Ricki Lake, Jenny Jones and the nightly news. That kind of disrespect was a running source of hilarity for Conan in those early days, so of course he headed to Houston in search of anybody who might be watching his show in the middle of the night, or even just recognize him. The craziest thing about this is that it was made in 1997, almost four years after he took over Late Night, and well after it had finally found a loving, steady audience.
Conan Records a Song in Memphis
Conan's first year on Late Night was a disaster. Bad reviews and low ratings seemed to doom it right out of the gate, and with NBC refusing to hand out a long-term renewal (it would only renew the show for 13 weeks at a time until 1995), O'Brien and his staff never felt comfortable in those early days. Conan and his show was a bit of a national punchline in those early days, and that inspired a number of sketches early in the show's life. This sketch from October 1994 has to be seen in that context; it's not inherently funny to see a talk show host try to record an original song at Sun Studios, but it's hilarious when Conan does it because, first off, he's just a naturally funny person, but also because the song he wants to write and record is about how lonely it is to be a not very successful talk show host. This self-effacement and lack of arrogance became one of Conan's strongest trademarks, and has persisted even when his career is thriving.
Conan Gets His Own G.I. Joe Doll
In 1999 Hasbro promoted the 35th anniversary of G.I. Joe by conducting a nationwide search for a real hero to base a new figure on. So of course Conan went to Hasbro headquarters in Cincinnati to pitch his case. The sketch runs through the whole process of how a G.I. Joe figure is designed and produced, with Conan providing commentary throughout. At the end he has his own Conan-headed Joe prototype, years before Funko Pop turned everybody who's ever been on TV into their own collectible toy.
Conan Forms the Boy Band Dudez A-Plenti
2000 represented the glory days for crappy prefab boy bands. One of the many pieces of pop culture detritus that tried to float on the boy band wave was ABC's reality show Making the Band, whose first season tracked the formation of the band O-Town. Late Night parodied the inherent absurdity of that whole scene with this sketch, in which Conan becomes the impresario for the brand new boy band Dudez A-Plenti. You don't have to have first-hand memories of 2000 to enjoy this ridiculousness.

"Ngexisaurus" je neformální označení dosud oficiálně nepopsaného teropodního dinosaura, objeveného na území čínského Tibetu (geologická skupina Dapuka, období střední jury, asi před 170 miliony let). Taxon "Ngexisaurus dapukaensis" byl poprvé zmíněn ve vědecké studii, publikované roku 1983. Podle současných poznatků by se mohlo jednat o zástupce nadčeledi Tyrannosauroidea, a sice její vývojově primitivní čeledi Proceratosauridae. Šlo tedy nejspíš o blízkého příbuzného raných tyranosauroidů, jakými byly rody Proceratosaurus, Kileskus nebo Guanlong.

14k gold case is approximately 34mm (excluding crown). Omega Reference KL6610. Omega Calibre 560 Automatic Winding Movement. Circa 1963.
Includes one 18mm dark green leather strap with gold-tone buckle.
Omega's Seamaster line is one of the most diverse in the business, ranging from form-follows-function dive watches to svelte and elegant dress watches.
To differentiate its smaller, dressier offerings within the line, Omega applied other names, like De Ville. In this case, De Ville captured the air of refinement, style and meticulous design language. It also expanded on the original Seamaster collection with the introduction of a monocoque — one-piece — case design. With this unibody case, the De Ville sought to capitalize on the popular sport Seamaster movement with a case that was more water-resistant and could accommodate a number of case forms, movements and functions.
The De Ville went through a series of changes throughout its life. When it was first introduced in 1960, 'De Ville' was not printed on the dial. Instead the line marketed itself through the monocoque design and its sports heritage by keeping the 'Seamaster' name. In 1963, Omega began printing dials with both 'Seamaster' and 'De Ville' at the request of Norman Morris, Omega's United States brand representative.
While no direct correlation can be found, Cadillac's Coupe De Ville debuted around the same time and also featured stylish smooth and clean lines. This lead to the De Ville to become known as the "wrist Cadillac" from Omega.
In 1967, the De Ville finally stood on its own, with 'Seamaster' disappearing from the dial completely.
This particular model is a reference KL6610 dates to approximately 1963. The monocoque case is solid 14k gold and topped off with a gold dial with both 'Seamaster' and 'De Ville' printed at 6 o'clock and features an automatic Calibre 560 with quick-set date function.
The De Ville recalls a time of elegance and svelte modern design that was heralded as being the zenith of fashion in its day, and while it is unassuming by today's excessive standards, it is a benchmark to which many brands - including Omega - are slowly returning.

As users of The Raiser's Edge you are (or your database administrators are) responsible for the maintenance and back up of your SQL Server database. Consequently it would be irresponsible to write code and use it against the live database. One way of testing your code is to use it against the Sample database that Blackbaud supplies. However this lacks many of the organisation specific features that your own DB holds and in many cases makes it impossible to perform a realistic test.
By restoring a backup database into SQL Server you can use the back up to test against. You can either restore the database to the same SQL Server instance or another one on another machine. If you are feeling a bit paranoid then this may be a better option as you can be certain that you are not logging into the live version.
If you do not use the BMC then how do you access your instance of Raiser's Edge. You edit the registry of course! Another disclaimer… If you edit the registry incorrectly then you could ruin your installation of Raiser's Edge (just redeploy it from the server) or worse of Windows. So if you are not sure what you are doing do not do it.
You can open the registry by going to run on the start menu and typing in regedit.This will bring up the registry editor. In the tree browse down HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, Software. There are two branches here that we are interested Blackbaud and ODBC.
Let's look at ODBC first. These are your database settings. Opening up this branch we are most interested in ODBC.INI. There you will see (if you have a standard installation of RE) RE7_1 and RE7_50. The first represents your live database and the second the sample database. It is quiet easy to copy the settings in RE7_1 for a new database entry. You would want to copy each element of the tree structure but call it something else. It does not need to be RE7_2 but that is the most obvious in this case. The two most important values here (fields on the right side of the regedit window) are for server and for database. You will want to name these according to your backed up database installation.
Now let's look at the Blackbaud branch. Under this branch there are several keys. The ones of interest to us are the REINI_1 and the REINI_50. Again these represent the live and the sample database. Here we want to copy the keys. This time it does seem to make a difference if they follow the pattern so use something logical e.g. REINI_2. Looking at the values available this time there are two of interest; the name of the DSN i.e. the ODBC reference (RE7_2 for this example) and the name that should appear in the RE log in screen. This can be any value you like.
That is more or less it. You may have some rights issues if you are not an administrator on the machine you are trying to access (if it is not a database server) but with a bit of tweaking you should be able to get into your backed up version of live in order to test your code.
One other point to note. If you make changes to your live BMC (e.g. a new patch or some other change), the BMC will push the changes out to each client. This will mean that your settings will be restored to those of the BMC's settings. The ODBC settings will remain but the REINI entries will be removed. To avoid this, you should either export your registry settings so that they can be imported or alternatively under the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREBlackbaudRaisers Edge7.0 key you can change the InstallSource to an invalid address. That way your client will not look to update itself. Remember that any upgrades made to the BMC will not be reflected in your installation so you will have to manually deploy the changes from the deploy directory on the server.
We have opted to setup 1 live production database and 2 non-production databases for development and QA. We did have to argue a bit with Blackbaud, as initially the NP licenses were free but the policy has changed mid stream.
Nonetheless, this worked fine from a single client version of RE accessing a one central DB server with all three. However, our site has opted now to have two servers, one for production and one for development/QA.
Based on your article, I have configured the ODBC registry settings to point the "live" (RE7_1) to our production server and left the remaining two pointing to our development server and things seem to work just fine.
Are you aware of any complications or problems that may result from setting up the configuration in this manner ?
Other than that I can't think of any issues.

School Transport Update
Thursday 3rd September 2020
All our teams within the Transport Coordination Service have been, and remain, incredibly busy finalising details of school and college transport for the new term. Information has been sent to operators regarding routes and passenger lists. Many applications are still coming through, as are the different establishments or locations some children may be attending. Any updated schedules will be sent out when finalised.
For young people with any Special Educational Needs we continue to allocate routes and operators but for some, due to the complex nature of the requests, it remains work in progress. This week we are allocating any specialist equipment needed for their journey.
Information about transport arrangements and (where applicable) bus passes have been sent to entitled students – they will all been sent a copy of the attached flyer which communicates some of the key points around social distancing and behaviour on vehicles. Students have been referred to the Code of Conduct and the teams are happy to work with you on any issues at your schools or colleges.
For further information a press release was issued from DCC about school transport which sets out the details: School transport guidelines drawn up ahead of September return
The relevant section of the DCC Covid-19 webpages has also been updated with information about school travel: Coronavirus advice in Devon – schools and families
Back to School Comms – messages for Parents from DfE
The DfE has launched a communications strategy to reassure parents and students that schools and colleges are ready for their return in September.

Tiger Woods, well, what can you say about the guy? Unstoppable. Andrew Buckle had a 2-stroke lead at the start of the back nine, but Buckle buckled under the pressure, as probably most spectators expected. Charles Howell III put on a valiant charge, but Chuck could not match Tiger. Who can?
Win No. 55, 3 times in a row at Torrey Pines, and 7 in a row on the PGA tour. The PGA season just started for Tiger, but it seems like it's all but over for the rest of the players.

In California divorce cases, the person without custody of the children (assuming there are children) usually has to pay child support. And if the difference in income between the parents or the spouses is significant, the high earner has to pay spousal support, commonly referred to as alimony. But what happens if a person isn't working, or is working but not making as much money as the other side thinks should be the case?
For a long time California family law judges have relied on Family Code section 4505 as a basis for making a person look for a job. Section 4504 states that a court "may require a parent who alleges that the parent's default in a child or family support order is due to the parent's unemployment to submit to the appropriate child support enforcement agency or any other entity designated by the court, including, but not limited to, the court itself, each two weeks, or at a frequency deemed appropriate by the court, a list of at least five different places the parent has applied for employment".
But wait a moment. If you read the words of this statute carefully, you will note that it only talks about child support, not spousal support (alimony). Further, it appears the section requires the person being ordered to look for work to be behind in her or his support payments when the "seek work" or "job contacts" order is made.
But in a recent unpublished case, the California Court of Appeal ruled that another part of the Family Code, section 2010, allows for job contacts in any type of support case, be it child support or spousal support. Section 2010 says, in relevant part, "[i]n a proceeding for dissolution of marriage, . . . the court has jurisdiction to inquire into and render any judgment and make orders that are appropriate concerning" the "support of either party".
Accordingly, in this case, called Marriage of Childers, the justices approved of a judge's decision to make the ex-husband "prove that you've sought five different types of employment or five job interviews every week, and bring that proof in with you each time you come to court until you get new employment".
The judge actually lowered the amount of support that the former husband had to pay as he had claimed that he had been laid off. This resulted in an obligation of $500.00 a month, rather than an earlier obligation of $700.00 a month. In fact, the spousal support order at the time of the actual judgment had been $1,600.00 a month. At that time, the husband was making $90,000.00 a year. Though his income had decreased since the original judgment in 2001, the now ex-husband had obtained a real estate license as well as architectural training. The former wife, meanwhile, was working at the same job at a non-profit food program and was also working two side jobs. The total of all of this work generated the former wife only about $2,435.00 a month.
Given these facts, it is not surprising that when the ex-husband appealed, he lost. Indeed, all three justices sided with the wife. As stated above, this was an unpublished decision by the Court of Appeal. That means lawyers cannot talk about this case in a future hearing before a judge or even in papers that they file before the hearing for the judge to read. And the judge herself or himself cannot talk about this case in explaining the reasoning behind a decision.
But unpublished cases are still public record, and people are free to gossip about them, or even talk about them in blogs! And the Childers case explains how to argue to a judge that he or she may make someone look for a job, even if spousal support (alimony) is the only type of support at issue. In other words, the argument would be that the judge has the authority to make a "seek work" order by relying on Family Code section 2010, not Family Code section 4505.
The fact that the case was not certified for publication is not surprising. Most appeals cases in California do not get to be officially published. That's because the justices do not want people to rely on cases that have unique facts.
Having said all of this, I note that a job contact order is not the solution that makes the world perfect. If a person is determined to go down with the ship, so to speak, he or she can seek jobs that are hard to get or just present herself or himself as a bad applicant. If the person comes back to court without a job, that may actually prove to the judge that the person is not lazy but instead is unable to find a job given her or his age, background, etc. Judges do have the power to "impute" income to support obligors, which means to base a support obligation on the income that the judge thinks the obligor could make. But there has to be evidence for whatever income the judge chooses to assign to someone who is not working, and if job contacts aren't doing the job, the other side may need to bring in an expert or present help wanted ads to prove that the person has the ability to do certain jobs and that there are job openings in that field.
Finally, for the person who is unwilling to work or is depressed and cannot get going, a job contact order is a double edged sword. It might be the proverbial firecracker to get that person moving, but having to look for jobs in a regimented way can be humiliating, depending on the type of person at issue.
In San Diego County, job contact orders are made less frequently when a person is working but not earning as much as the other side would like. A person working full-time at some acceptable rate usually doesn't have to take time out during the day to look for a better job unless it is obvious that based on the education that the person has or the experience, it is clear that he or she could be earning more.
But for someone who isn't working at all, yet is healthy and appears to have skills, a job contacts order is not that unusual.

A classic turn of the century sundial with Browning's poem, "Grow old along with me, the best is yet to be." This saying was famously put to music by John Lennon and is a popular sentiment for weddings and anniversaries.
This 11.5" diameter sundial is made by Rome Industries using the ancient art of sand casting. To cast the dial, an impression of the sundial pattern is made into high quality sand designed specifically for brass casting. Molten brass is then poured into a hole in the sand that fills the mold. After cooling, the sand surrounding the sundial is removed and the finishing process begins.


The Cleito from Aspire Features a top fill design and is made of 304 grade stainless steel with a Pyrex glass tube and a wide bore drip tip made of imported food contact Delrin material. With a 3.5 ml of e-liquid capacity, 22 mm wide, 40 mm tall with a drip tip that is 12 mm tall. Aspire's Cleito uses an updated coil design different from those tanks of the past, it frees up even more restriction in the airflow by eliminating the need for a static chimney. This results in an expanded flavor profile and increased vapor production. Combined with a Clapton kanthal coils for maximum flavor. Coil Variations include 0.2 ohm (55w - 70w), 0.4 ohm (40w - 60w), and 0.27 ohm (40w - 55w).
Compatible with: Aspire Cleito replacement coils - Aspire Cleito standard glass part - Aspire Cleito 5 ml glass part - Aspire Cleito base hardware - Aspire Cleito drip tips - Aspire Cleito upper hardware part - Aspire Cleito rubber gasket seal for base hardware - Aspire Cleito RTA system.

Although it isn't possible for one e-cigarette or tank to be everything for everyone, there are a few devices and accessories that come close. In the world of e-cigarette tanks, the Aspire Cleito is one of those products. The Cleito is so simple to use that it's a perfect tank for those upgrading from their first e-cigarette starter kits or vape pens. The Cleito also has such great flavor and vapor production, though, that many people who use it have no desire to switch to anything else.
Is the Aspire Cleito the best e-cigarette tank on the market? We aren't sure, but we do know that the Cleito is a great first tank – or a wonderful upgrade – for just about everyone. In this guide, we'll explain everything that you need to know about using the Aspire Cleito.
What Is the Aspire Cleito?
Aspire first released the Cleito tank in 2016. It proved so popular with the vaping community that it remains in production today. What made the Cleito revolutionary when it was first released? To understand what makes the Aspire Cleito different from most sub-ohm tanks, you must first understand how traditional sub-ohm tank design works.
In the Aspire Cleito tank, the coil itself is the chimney. The coil connects directly to the top hardware of the tank, so the vapor has nowhere to go except to your mouth. The benefit of this design is that, without requiring a high-power device, the Aspire Cleito generates enormous vapor clouds and delivers a very pure, focused and rich flavor. The design of the Cleito is so solid and reliable that many e-cigarette users continue to swear by this tank today. Nothing else does quite as good a job of creating smooth, creamy and flavorful clouds.
The Aspire Cleito comes with one coil head already installed. The coil has a cotton wick that draws e-liquid from the tank to the heating coil. Before you use the Cleito tank for the first time, we recommend priming the wick with a bit of e-liquid. To prime the wick, twist off the tank's top hardware and pull the glass tube gently away from the base of the tank. The coil head remains connected to the tank's base. If you were replacing the coil, you'd twist the old coil out and twist in a new one. To prime the wick, moisten the exposed cotton on the side of the coil head with a bit of e-liquid.
To fill and use the Aspire Cleito, replace the glass tube, hold the tank upright and add e-liquid until the tank is nearly full. Replace the top hardware. We recommend waiting several minutes for the cotton to saturate fully before using the tank for the first time. If any portion of the wick is dry, the cotton could burn – and if the cotton burns, the coil head is ruined. You should also avoid using the Aspire Cleito when the tank is almost empty. When the level of e-liquid is low, refill the tank promptly.

If you are anything like me, the day after you set up a hunt, you begin getting ready for the trip. You invest a lot time investigating and preparing for a journey, by the time it ultimately shows up, it is nearly a little gloomy. If you have not experienced this component of the quest your missing out on a great deal of enjoyable and also listed below are some tips to living the search, not while you're there, but for months beforehand. Let's use my journey to New Zealand with Craigieburn Alpine Safaris as an instance to show the procedure I undergo when preparing for a search. My papa and brother-in-law had actually booked the trip in my lack at a searching convention.
You really did not understand the outfitter, the location, or the pets available, and the terrain, the kind of searching or anything else for that issue. My primary step was to find the outfitter's website. You researched it completely learning about the location of the hunt, the species offered, contemplating what you wished to search and finding out about what was available. There were gorgeous photos of mountain tops and substantial red stags with crowned antlers. I might practically smell the mountain air. You next off got in touch with a few pals that had actually searched for stag or had actually been to New Zealand hunting for chamois, stag, and tahr. It is constantly best in my viewpoint to talk to a person you recognize first, to learn what to ask. I discovered lots of pursues in New Zealand are fenced instead of cost-free variety.
The chamois and also tahr are commonly pursued with helicopters, and also the stags are classified by bronze, silver, or gold medal depending on the size and whether 먹튀 hunt were taken complimentary array or not. I absolutely wanted to quest totally free array and I wished to take a chamois by the power of my 2 legs instead of a helicopter. Following I examined the web to learn all I can about New Zealand and also New Zealand searching. I check out the nation and found out about the animals and also how they are hunted. I uncovered there are two islands, the South and the North and the terrain is exceptionally different and the kind of hunting. I was happy to recognize we would certainly be searching the South Island.

Medium ground finch
Class: Aves
Order: Passeriformes
Family: Thraupidae
Genus: Geospiza
G. fortis
Geospiza fortis
Gould, 1837
The medium ground finch (Geospiza fortis) is a species of bird in the family Thraupidae. It is endemic to the Galapagos Islands. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical dry forests and subtropical or tropical dry shrubland. One of Darwin's finches, the species was the first which scientists have observed evolving in real-time.
The population of medium ground finches has been experiencing inbreeding depression due to small population numbers. Inbreeding depression occurs when there is a decrease in fitness due to individuals mating with genetic relatives. Typically, this leads to a loss of genetic diversity and a reduction in heterozygosity.[2]
3 Habitat and range
4 Behavior
4.1 Feeding
5 Parasites
5.1 Philornis downsi
Like the other members of its genus, the medium ground finch is strongly sexually dimorphic; the female's plumage is brown and streaky,[3] while male's is solid black, with white tips to the undertail coverts. The bird measures 12.5 cm (4.9 in) in length—which falls between the lengths of the small and large ground finches.[4][nb 1] The bill of this species is quite variable in size, though the length of the upper mandible is always greater than the depth of the bill at its base.[4] The wing shape, on average, seems to change with ecological shifts. Different selective pressures act on the wing shape of the finches, such as natural and sexual selection. The males have shorter, rounder wings, which help with maneuvering around a female during sexual displays.[6]
Evolution[edit]
In 1977, a severe drought reduced the supply of seeds in the Galapágos. The finch, which normally preferred small and soft seeds, was forced to turn to harder, larger seeds. This strong selective pressure favoring larger beaks, coupled with the high heritability of traits relating to beak size in finches, caused the medium ground finch population to experience evolution by natural selection, leading to an increase in average beak size in the subsequent generation.[7]
Evidence of evolution through character displacement has been found in a population of medium ground finches on the Galápagos island of Daphne Major. During a drought in 2004, overlap in the diets of the medium ground finch population and a recently settled population of large ground finches (Geospiza magnirostris) led to competition for a limited supply of seeds on which the medium ground finch population normally fed.[8] Because the large ground finches were able to out-compete the medium ground finches for these seeds due to both a larger beak and body size, the medium ground finch population experienced a strong selective pressure against large beaks to avoid competition, ultimately leading to dramatic evolutionary change favoring smaller beaks in the subsequent generation.[8]
Habitat and range[edit]
Endemic to the Galápagos,[9] the medium ground finch is found on ten islands: Baltra, Floreana, Isabela, Fernandina, Seymour, Pinzón, San Cristóbal, Santa Cruz, Santa Fé, and Santiago.[10]
Behavior[edit]
Feeding[edit]
The medium ground finch feeds primarily on seeds, although it is also known to eat flowers, buds, and young leaves, and the occasional insect. It forages either on the ground or in low vegetation.[3]
Parasites[edit]
The medium ground finch has been under parasitism of Philornis downsi, as well as the avian pox virus (Poxvirus avium). Although outbreaks of the virus have been historically rare, in 2008 there was an outbreak that showed to be present in 50% of the finches tested. As a result, the finches have developed antibodies to fight specific invasive parasites.[11] The finches with the highest amount of antibodies tend to have the highest fitness, and therefore produce more viable offspring.
Philornis downsi[edit]
Using a new mathematical model, a 2015 study, by Dr Jennifer Koop of the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth, suggests the population of 270,000 birds on Santa Cruz may become extinct in 50 years. The flies lay eggs in the nest including in the nestlings nostrils. The larvae feed on living tissue and in worst cases can perforate the bill. Possible solutions include the introduction of parasitic wasps which would lay eggs on the larva, or cotton wool treated with a pesticide which the adult birds would use when constructing the nest.[12]
Note[edit]
^ By convention, length is measured from the tip of the bill to the tip of the tail on a dead bird (or skin) laid on its back.[5]

Burberry breaks ground on a new flagship store in London.
Burberry Ltd. is a manufacturer and marketer of men's, women's, and children's apparel, as well as accessories and fragrances. The Burberry name is virtually synonymous with the tan gabardine raincoat pioneered by the company more than 145 years ago. Writing for WWD (Women's Wear Daily) in 1989, Andrew Collier described the garment as "a mainstay in outerwear worldwide, that symbolizes all that is Britain: sturdy and unassuming, equally at home in fine hotels and muddy lanes." In 2000, Burberry operated 58 company-owned stores, and its products were also found in department and specialty stores around the world. In 1999, the firm launched the Prorsum designer collection as part of its efforts to reinvent Burberry's luxury brand status. An icon of classic clothing, Burberry has utilized licensing and brand extensions to appeal to a younger generation of fashion-conscious customers. The company is a subsidiary of the United Kingdom's Great Universal Stores plc, the very closely held $9 billion credit reporting, mail-order, and retail apparel conglomerate.
19th-Century Origins
Founder Thomas Burberry was born in 1835 and apprenticed in the drapery trade, establishing his own drapery business in Basingstoke, Hampshire, in 1856. A sportsman, Burberry was dissatisfied with the then-popular rubberized mackintosh raincoat, which was heavy, restricting, and stifling, and thus unsuitable for extended outings. Inspired by country folk's loose "smocks," Burberry designed a tightly woven fabric made from water-repellent linen or cotton yarn. Although sturdy and tear-resistant, this "Burberry-proofed" cloth was lightweight and allowed air to circulate, making it considerably more comfortable than the heavy mackintosh. The tailor trademarked his cloth "Gabardine," a Shakespearean term that referred to shelter from inclement weather. Burberry developed five different weights of gabardine: "Airylight," "Double-Weave," "Karoo," "Wait-a-bit," and "Tropical." He even patented "Burberry-proofed" linings made from silk and wool.
Burberry was a shrewd marketer, employing trademarking and advertising to great benefit. Illustrated advertisements touting the clothing "designed by sportsmen for sportsmen" drew customers to Burberry's retail outlet, which was established in London's Haymarket section in 1891. Having used a variety of labels to distinguish its garments from imitations, the company registered the "Equestrian Knight" trademark in 1909, an insignia used continuously through the mid-1990s. Also employed in the corporate logo, this image represents several Burberry ideals. The armor signifies the protection afforded by the outerwear, the "Chivalry of Knighthood" reflects the company's own standards of integrity, and the Latin adverb "prorsum" ("forward") referred to Burberry's innovative fabrics and styles.
Although the gabardine name was used under exclusive trademark by Burberry until 1917, Britain's King Edward, one of the first members of the royal family to don the gabardine coat, has been credited with popularizing the Burberry name by requesting the garment by name. Burberry garments have enjoyed a loyal following among royalty and celebrities around the world ever since. The company's clientele has included Winston Churchill, Gary Cooper, Joan Crawford, Humphrey Bogart, George Bernard Shaw, Al Jolson, Peter Falk, Ronald Reagan, George Bush, Norman Schwarzkopf, and Paul Newman. The company also boasts warrants (endorsements of quality) from Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and H.R.H. The Prince of Wales. Considered a "rite of passage" by some commoners, a Burberry coat was a prerequisite to a first job interview.
New Products for the New Century
By the turn of the century, Burberry offered an extensive line of outerwear for both men and women. The company designed hats, jackets, pants, and gaiters especially for hunting, fishing, golf, tennis, skiing, archery, and mountaineering. The garments' time- and weather-tested reputation for durability helped make them the gear of choice for adventurers of the late 19th and early 20th century. Balloonists and early aviators wore specially made Burberry garments that let neither wind nor rain penetrate. Captain Roald Amundsen, Captain R.F. Scott, and Sir Ernest Shackleton wore Burberry clothing and took shelter in Burberry tents on their expeditions to the South Pole in the 1910s.
Burberry established its first foreign outlet in Paris in 1910 and soon had retail establishments in the United States and South America. It exported its first shipment of raincoats to Japan in 1915. It was World War I, however, that brought widespread acclamation and fame to Burberry. First worn by high-ranking generals during the turn of the century Boer War in South Africa, the Burberry coat soon was adopted as standard issue for all British officers. With the addition of epaulets and other military trappings, the garments came to be known as "Trench Coats," so named for their ubiquity and durability through trench warfare. One Royal Flying Corps veteran wrote a testimonial noting, "During the War, I crashed in the (English) Channel when wearing a Burberry trench coat and had to discard it. It was returned to me a week later, having been in the sea for five days. I have worn it ever since and it is still going strong." The company estimated that 500,000 Burberrys were worn and, perhaps more important, brought home, by veterans.
Rainwear became so important to Burberry that the company soon whittled its lines down to little more than trench coats and tailored menswear for much of the 20th century. The notoriously conservative manufacturer stuck primarily to its well-known raincoats until the 1960s, when a fluke led Burberry to capitalize on the garments' trademark tan, black, red, and white plaid lining. It all started with a window display at the company's Paris store. The shop's manager spiced up her arrangement of trench coats by turning up the hem of one coat to show off its checked lining, then repeated the check on an array of umbrellas. The clamor for the umbrellas was so immediate and compelling that Burberry's made and quickly sold hundreds. This experiment eventually led to the introduction of the cashmere scarf, also a perennial best-seller. By the 1990s, Burberry offered six different umbrella models and scarves in eight color schemes. This turning point in the company's merchandising scheme notwithstanding, rainwear remained Burberry's single largest line into the late 1970s and early 1980s, and menswear continued to dominate.
Emphasis on Exports and Women's and Children's Apparel in the 1980s and 1990s
Burberry's export business increased dramatically during the 1980s, fueled primarily by Japanese and American craving for prestigious designer goods. By mid-decade, exports constituted two-thirds of the British company's sales, with more than one-fourth of exports headed to Japan and another 15 percent sold in the United States. By 1996, Burberry had accumulated a record six Queen's Awards for Export Achievement and ranked among Great Britain's leading clothing exporters. Overseas sales continued to grow by double-digit percentages in the early 1990s.
Realizing that "A fine tradition is not in itself sufficient today," Burberry sought to broaden its appeal to a younger, more fashion-conscious female clientele. Acknowledging that "The first thing people think of when they hear Burberry is a man's trench coat," U.S. Managing Director Barry Goldsmith asserted in a 1994 WWD article, "That's the image we're up against." One result was the Thomas Burberry collection, first introduced in Great Britain in 1988 and extended to the United States two years later. The new merchandise was priced 15 percent to 30 percent less than Burberry's designer lines, bringing a blouse down to $90 versus the normal $150 to $225, for example. Yet it was not just the price tags that set this "bridge line" apart from the brand's more traditional garb. The collection emphasized more casual sportswear, as opposed to career wear. "Updated classics" included youthful plaid mini kilts, jumpers, and snug "jean fit" slacks. U.S. advertising executive David Lipman called the line and its model, Christy Turlington, "modernly relevant, yet classically beautiful." At the upper end of the scale, Burberry launched a personal tailoring service for the ladies. The company's women's division grew 30 percent from 1994 to early 1996 and was expected not only to overtake menswear, but to constitute more than 70 percent of total annual sales by 1999.
Although it continued to manufacture 90 percent of its merchandise in British factories, Burberry also started licensing its name, plaid, and knight logo to other manufacturers. By the mid-1990s, the Burberry name added panache to handbags and belts, throw pillows and boxer shorts, cookies and crackers, and fragrances and liquor. Childrenswear, stuffed toys, watches, handbags, golf bags, and even a co-branded VISA credit card sported the Burberry check.
Burberry's efforts at product and geographic diversification appeared to be paying off in the mid-1990s. Sales (including a small sister subsidiary, Scotch House) increased by more than one-third, from £200.9 million in fiscal 1994 (ended March 31) to £267.8 million in 1996. Net income before taxes grew twice as fast, from £41.1 million to £70 million, during the same period.
Focus on Strengthening the Burberry Brand in the Late 1990s
Despite diversification efforts, it became clear to company management that the Burberry brand did not have the spark it once claimed. In 1997, Rose Marie Bravo was elected CEO of Burberry. Her expertise in brand management fit in with company plans to strengthen the Burberry brand throughout the United States and Europe. Bravo began focusing on product and design development and hired creative director Roberto Menichetti to head up this initiative.
While the company focused on positioning itself among leaders in the fashion industry, it began facing problems caused by its over-dependence on Asian customers. Sales decreased by 7 percent in 1998 and profits tumbled in its retail and wholesale sectors due to the Asian economic crisis. As a major exporter, Burberry also was hurt by the strength of the pound. The company also began to slow down its shipments to the Asian grey market--a market in which its products were sold cheaply or re-imported back to Europe and sold at a discount--and shut down three production facilities in the United Kingdom. Whereas this decision hurt the firm's profits in 1998, management felt it would, in the long run, protect the Burberry image.
In 1999, the company profits continued to falter. Sales decreased by 19 percent as the firm battled its Asian-related problems. Amidst its financial struggles, however, the company continued to focus on brand development and aggressive marketing. Under the leadership of Bravo, Burberry was once again re-emerging as an international luxury brand. The company launched its Prorsum collections in 1999, a new designer line that was part of Bravo's strategy. According to a June 1999 Daily News Record article, the launch was, "The latest step in the Bravo-directed makeover of the brand. Over the last 18 months, she's trimmed its distribution, cut the number of licensees, and ramped up marketing and advertising. The goal is to turn the Burberry name into a brand as hip as Gucci, Louis Vuitton, or Prada."
Success in the New Millennium
As Burberry entered the new millennium, its financial results improved dramatically. The Asian market recovered, its European and American markets grew, and its new brand strategy began to pay off. Trading profits increased 103 percent over the previous year and sales rose by 11 percent. The company also closed nonprofitable stores and opened new stores in Las Vegas, Nevada and in Tokyo. Burberry also opened a new three-floor flagship store in London that was 16,000 square feet in size and featured new product lines including lingerie and swimwear. A new licensing agreement was signed with Mitsui in Japan, securing a greater share of profits from that region, and the firm acquired its Spain-based licensee--Spain was the firm's second largest market after Japan.
Burberry's parent announced in late 2000 that it was planning an initial public offering (IPO) of the company's stock. Great Universal Stores did not consider the company one of its core businesses, and in light of Burberry's recent successes, it considered an IPO much more lucrative than selling the firm. In 2001, Burberry management continued its aggressive brand strategy and focus on its potential in the United States and in European markets such as France and Italy. Burberry's repositioning as a leading luxury brand left its management confident that it would remain successful in the future.

After that, I reboot the computer and the network card can no longer be detected.
What happened??
How is pcscd and libpcsclite1  related to the network interface of the computer?
How to fix it?

A: It seems that wpasupplicant at least depends on having libpcsclite1 installed, so when you remove libpcsclite1, it also removed wpasupplicant and a bunch of other networking related packages.
I would suggest re-installing all of the packages that were removed (any line beginning with "Removing") when you did sudo apt-get purge libpcsclite1.

Small tanks need small heaters but more often than not hobbyists are forced to use heaters that are suitable for much larger aquariums. They're big and bulky and immediately detract from the aquascape. After all the focus should be on the scape itself and not the equipment.
We would like to introduce the AquaEl Mini Heater 5W which is a mere 10cm in height – it's so tiny you'll be hard pushed to actually see it in your tank. Designed for nano aquariums it will increase the ambient water temperature by 2 degrees.
Each heater comes with ample cable and a neat suction cup so you can place it wherever you wish. The plastic case of the heater is dark grey therefore it will need little cleaning as grubbiness simply won't show!!
For other heaters you can view our range here.
We're delighted to announce that we have lowered our free delivery postage option. Providing you live in UK mainland and spend over £50 you now receive FREE DELIVERY!!
This should be good news to many customers particularly in the run up to Christmas.
You can view our other postage costs by clicking here.
Need Aquarium Plants but can't decide which one's?
Sometimes it's tough deciding how many plants you need and sometimes you just can't decide which one's you want either. So we decided to come up with a solution.
We're offering potted plants in quantities in lots of 5, 10 and 15. These are a selection of aquatic plants which are suitable for the foreground, midground and background and also for aquariums of 35L, 70L and 100L.
It takes the hassle out of choosing, fills up the relevant area of your tank but what's more they're available at a discounted rate so you make a saving too.
It's a 45 minute chat with Mike Senske from ADG (www.aquariumdesigngroup.com). If you're not familiar with this company check out their website. They are without doubt the best aquascapers in the world and their podcast discusses how they started and some of the trials and tribulations they have to deal with as an aquascaping company. Interestingly enough the majority of their clients do not have planted aquariums, or certainly high tech one's as ADG say they need daily tending to and most cannot afford to pay for that sort of attention. The lower tech tanks are dealt with on a weekly basis and therefore are more affordable.
There are 3 other podcasts that can also be found on the same page, but this one stands out for me.
Would love to hear your opinions on the podcast when you have listened to it.
Lastly, don't forget we're on Twitter and it would be great to converse with anyone who uses Aqua Essentials website – to find us, look for user name AquaEssentials.


We keep hearing that tough gun laws stop crime. Anti-gun zealots say it all the time. While we keep pointing out that no, it doesn't work that way, the zealots just roll their eyes and make mutterings over how cute we are with our silly ignorance. Of course gun laws work, they argue. Apparently, criminals are known for following the law in their worlds.
How, then, do they explain a double homicide in Boston, where gun laws tend to be pretty strict?
Police are looking for the gunman in a double shooting in Mission Hill They said they have witnesses and surveillance video and want the public to step up.
Some in the neighborhood said they do and are as frustrated as the police. Residents made their way around the crime scene tape Wednesday night. "We definitely want it to stop," said Manny Oliva, a concerned resident.
Around 5 p.m., Boston Police say a man walked up to two others sitting in a red car and shot them. They were on Parker Street just one block off Tremont.
"A lot of traffic was in the area, which is always scary, it's very brazen," Boston Police Commissioner William Evans said.
The injured men are 19 and 21 years old. One just showed up at the hospital. The other managed to drive a couple blocks away and was then taken by ambulance.
"We had officers in the area, we've put a lot of officers in the area since that shooting and they heard the shots and they were here within seconds," Evans said.
Clearly, both police and residents are mistaken. With Massachusetts's strict gun laws, there's absolutely no way this crime could have happened. Just like the gunfight in New York City recently between two groups of men. It's unpossible!
Of course, there is an alternate theory worth exploring, considering the circumstances. It's entirely possible that criminals will get their hands on guns no matter what you do, and so penalizing the law-abiding and taking away their right to arm themselves for self-defense is pointless.
As I've said before, if you want to combat violence, you don't do it by going after the tools used. The best you can hope for is the violent people to resort to other weapons. That's hardly an improvement on the situation.
Instead, you need to go after the roots of violence itself. And I'm not talking about drugs or gangs, even. Those are symptoms of a deeper problem. It's beyond time for people to get down and look at the nitty gritty and address those core problems first and foremost.
After you do that, you're probably going to find that restrictions on firearms are irrelevant. Violence will drop, over time, because the need to pursue a lifestyle that requires violence has dissipated. Remove the perceived need for violence, remove the violence.
But that takes work and it doesn't make for great soundbites for liberal politicians. It doesn't happen overnight, either, which makes addressing it unattractive to liberal politicians. That and the fact that it would involve something more than a government program and bunch of taxpayer money also plays a factor.
