![]() ![]() We simply urge people to use common sense and don’t fall into the traps. It can take months to resolve a conflict, that is why we are urging buyers to avoid any purchases from the above mentioned websites. The latest twist to this scam is that some sites are now accepting credit cards but the merchant account is based in China so it is much more difficult to dispute a charge from a communist country. This scam has been seen on eBay and always for high ticket items. ![]() These replica sites have been set up for the sole purpose to rip people off by shipping $10 watches directly from Asia. People, do NOT “donate” money to this scam ring! They’re making a living preying on unsuspecting consumers! Site NameĪll of the sites listed above are run and operated by the same scam organization. Totalreplica,, perfectwatches.hk and all of their affiliated sites are a SCAM and we urge buyers to NEVER EVER pay under $800 when buying a swiss Grade 1 replica watch… scroll down to read for more… Due diligence shows that no true grade 1 swiss replica can be sold for under $800 USD, if so, you will not be receiving a real grade 1 swiss replica.Īlso just looking at their specifications you will see that their 2-Tone models are labeled as “wrapped” when a true 2-Tone swiss grade 1 watch should be solid 18K gold on all the gold parts. This type of racket brings in thousands of dollars daily for the criminals and leaves the consumer with absolutely no recourse. What’s worse, some of them now accept credit card payments however their merchant account is based in China therefore it is much more difficult to dispute a charge when its based in a communist country. It is a very difficult scam to stop as they prey on people’s emotions, offering something that realistically cannot be had at those prices. Solid 18K gold sells for over $1,000 per ounce so it’s impossible to get a 18K solid 2-Tone for that price. These websites promote swiss replicas for $650 or less and claim all their 2-Tone watches are solid 18K gold. They have been linked to Russian organized crime and some customers report that through their due diligence have uncovered evidence pointing to the same scam being pulled through the sale of plasma tv’s. They are not selling what they advertise and in some cases not shipping out at all. Our advice is to avoid all of these sites at all cost as it has been documented that they have been ripping people off for months now. The twist is that their merchant account is based in China, which is a communist country therefore if you dispute a charge you may have trouble recouping your funds as its through an Asian bank which may complicate things. It has also come to our attention that some of these scam sites are now accepting credit card payments in order to trick customers into ordering. These websites are all under the same ownership and have been orchestrating this scam for sometime. Consumers have either received a $10 watch directly from China or absolutely nothing at all. Warning, we have received countless emails from customers who have ordered from, .za and all affiliated sites below. Customers have emailed us and the ones that did receive a watch, they were postmarked from China and quit operating within 30 days.īOOKMARK THIS PAGE BEFORE MAKING YOUR PURCHASE They stress objectivity however when we attempted to leave a post on their message board it never actually showed up! This is why trustedtrader is the only true review site on the internet as we provide a real time message board that allows you the consumer to post your OWN experiences about the various replica watch companies. They are being promoted by fake forums (which claims to have thousands of members) on the internet used to promote their scam sites. These websites are all owned and operated by the same individuals with similar templates for all their websites. UPDATE: One of the latest “scam” rings to hit the internet. ![]()

![]() Next rest your jaw in the bottom area of the mask where it's conveniently cupped for this exact purpose, then jest simply raise the mask to your face, making sure the straps are in the right place, and not bunched up. ![]() Next make sure all the straps are loosened as far as they will go, they have convenient tabs on them to prevent them from falling out, and to give you plenty of purchase area to get a hold of them when there behind your head. To don the mask you put the wide plastic strap around the your neck, and wear the mask sort of like a neckless, this strap serves no purpose other than to hold the mask for you, while you get it on your face, basically acting like a third hand. Leaving the "Bite Piece" between your teeth for more than a minute or so is kind of uncomfortable though, and can give you a sore jaw, so it's best to only bite it if you need water, unfortunately though it's kind of hard to reach, and required me to push against the filter, and kind of "reach with my jaw to reach it because it sits in the mask kind of flat, once you get though it's easy to hold on to it. I had no difficulty sucking water through the tube, it was no harder than a standard drinking straw despite the length. The Tube ends in a little "bite Piece" right by your mouth to hold between your teeth, and in order to use it, you have to squeeze the two "triggers" on the drinking tube, if the "triggers" aren't pinched together the Drinking Tube is air tight, handy for changing canteens. I had no Canteen Adapter for the Drinking Tube, but I tried dropping the end in a water bottle to use as a straw to test it, and it was working fine. I tried talking with the mask on, and the voicemitter was working fine, and was quite clear. I have no idea how old the filter is, but a tried a very non scientific test, and put it on, and tried to smell things, and got no Oder at all, and the air itself tasted "clean". After a few minutes of figuring out how to don it, I managed to get it on my head, once you get the straps adjusted it was totaly air tight, there were no leaks that I could detect, I tested this by feeling around the edges, and also by covering the air intake with my hand, and trying to breath, I couldn't, and trying was starting to vacuum seal the mask to my face as I inhaled sucking in whatever air was ambient in the mask, then nothing at all, then I removed my hand, took a deep breath, covered the intake, and "exhaust" area of the mask again, and exhaled as hard as I could, I could feel the mask "inflating", and air was forced out around my hand through the "exhaust port", but there was no leakage around the edges. The one I got was (obviously) surplus, and came packed in a clear plastic bag, it included one sealed Israeli Filter of an unknown age, and a drinking tube, but no canteen adapter. So I picked up an Israeli M-15 Gas Mask last week, and thought I'd post a little review. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() How to Change Registered Agent for an LLC.Best Registered Agent Services Expand / Collapse.An LLC name must be distinguishable from any other entity registered with the Utah Secretary of State.An LLC name must not include any words linked to a government agency, such as "FBI" or "IRS.".Words like "company," "co," and any form of the word "partnership" cannot be used in an LLC name.An LLC name must include the words "Limited Liability Company" or one of their abbreviations (LLC or LLC). ![]() This is an important step because knowing what to use and what not to use when you're choosing an LLC name will help you to reserve the name you want and avoid common pitfalls or even rejection by the Utah Secretary of State.įollowing are some of the key points to remember when naming your LLC in Utah: When deciding for an entity name and conducting a Utah business entity search, there are certain LLC naming guidelines in Utah that should be adhered to.

This recognisable sense of isolation will be familiar to anyone who has spent time living in a city, surrounded by people yet unable to forge relationships. Yet when home alone in her apartment, Amélie's world seems quieter her loneliness more apparent. While the world is often a harsh place, Jeunet and his creative team dare to imagine a kinder, gentler reality, where the dreamers and artists of the world aren't yet jaded by external forces. This is not Paris in reality this is the city of dreamers, a heightened reality in which the potential for magic lingers down every boulevard and in every metro station. This feeling of romance and everyday magic is underscored by the instrumental compositions of Yann Tiersen, which Jeunet employs to great effect to highlight Amélie's capricious moods. Shots of the city resemble the French capital as seen on postcards, while the unmistakable rich reds and yellows of the film's colour palette were heightened in post-production to reflect Amélie's joie de vivre. We follow Amélie on her adventures around Paris with pleasure Bruno Delbonnel's vivid cinematography presents the city as beautiful but unmistakably lively, a fairground ride in constant motion. Just what is it that makes Amélie – or to give the film its proper title, The Fabulous Destiny of Amélie Poulain – so fabulous, after all this time? It's no wonder that the film captured the hearts of audiences upon release, but two decades later its rich legacy continues, having inspired a musical, and even the name of a newly-discovered species of frog. Jeunet’s unconventional romantic comedy sees Amélie – played wonderfully by Audrey Tautou – encounter a series of fellow oddballs, and provides glimpses into the curious lives of others while celebrating the unique charm of France's capital city. Yet she often feels isolated, and having had a lonely childhood, seeks out connection with those around her. Amélie Poulain, the title character of Jean-Pierre Jeunet's fourth feature film, is a waitress with a big imagination, who finds herself drawn to simple pleasures in life, such as taking in a film on a Friday night or cracking the surface of a crème brûlée with a spoon. ![]() Twenty years ago, a petite heroine from the Montmartre district of Paris took the world by storm. ![]() ![]() ![]() The new "Guided Tunings" mode allows the StroboStomp HD to display numeric string values instead of traditional note names making for sure-fire intuitive and rapid re-tuning to any number of open and alternative tunings. ![]() Sweetened Tunings are exclusive to Peterson tuning products and are designed to help correct inherent tuning issues exhibited by many instruments. The StroboStomp HD features over 100 exclusive Sweetened Tunings™, as well as, numbered guided tuning presets for a large variety of instruments and playing styles. The buffered output modes preserve sonic quality all through the instrument range and keep prized core tone intact. It is designed to boost instrument drive to overcome potential tone loss in signal chains that incorporate multiple low-impedance guitar pedals or those that utilize long cable runs. The buffered mode can be used in or out of monitor mode. The StroboStomp HD also includes a long-time, user-requested buffered output operation mode that can be user engaged. It uses a unique series of timed relays incorporated within its circuitry to shunt the signal, draining the cause of the popping sound prior to breaking the connection, and effectively shutting the tuner down for direct play through without affecting tone quality. The vibrant screen colors can also be assigned to stock or user presets to significantly reduce menu navigation time and increase on-stage tuning confidence at the gig.įor tone purists, the StroboStomp HD provides a 100% silent, true-bypass operation mode to keep precious tone safe, as well as, eliminate the often annoying “pop” experienced when engaging such a feature in other products. The user-selectable colors can be used to personalize the tuner or to increase display viewing quality in different levels of ambient lighting depending on the usage environment. Its easy! Using your Peterson strobe tuner, your guitar will sound much better than when tuned using an ordinary tuner.īegin with the first string, it’s located nearest the ground when holding the guitar in normal playing position.įeaturing the largest tuning display Peterson Tuners has ever incorporated into one of their pedal tuners, the StroboStomp HD boasts a high-definition, LCD screen that incorporates a variable color LED backlight. Because of Peterson tuners unique “Sweetened Tuning” feature, each tuner has a host of tempered presets which you simply choose - the tuner then guides you automatically – just like using an ordinary tuner – but sweeter. If you are not familiar with this kind of tuning jargon, relax, because there is one tuner that does it all for you. Many seasoned professionals “tweak” their guitar’s tuning to improve its sound we call this “Sweetened Tuning”. Some bands use very low pitched standard tunings, some use open or alternate tunings. The electric guitar is commonly tuned to EADGBE, but there are many other tunings. Peterson counts the majority of the world’s top guitarists, past and present among its users from Bryan Adams to Frank Zappa and from Angus Young to Zakk Wylde, so you’ll be in good company! Others prefer the results of a strobe tuner.Peterson tuners are highly accurate, precise and simple to use, you can tune and/or intonate your guitar to perfection even if you’ve never used a tuner of any type before. Some people prefer the sound of the strings being tuned to the frequency of the overall waveform. Which measurement is correct? That's up to you decide. This is exacerbated by the pickups which pull on the strings and cause the overtones to be off (in extreme cases causing the dreaded "stratitis"). The resonances of the overtones aren't always perfect integer multiples of the fundamental. So it's like having two tuners, a traditional tuner and a strobe tuner running simultaneously and, just as with separate physical tuners, the results may not necessarily be the same.Ī guitar string is not perfect. The frequency of the fundamental will not necessarily match that of the overall waveform. This effectively measures the fundamental ONLY. It "demodulates" the signal with a quadrature oscillator. The strobe tuner works like, well, a strobe tuner. The bar tuner measures the average period of the waveform. ![]() The strobe tuner and bar tuner use different algorithms. ![]() ![]() The officials said that while the vaccines remain "remarkably effective" in reducing the risk of severe disease, hospitalisation and death from the effects of Covid, protection could diminish in the months ahead without boosted immunisation. US authorities warned Wednesday that Covid-19 vaccination efficacy was decreasing over time, and said they had authorised booster shots for all Americans from September 20 starting eight months after an individual has been fully vaccinated. ![]() WHO called earlier this month for a moratorium on Covid vaccine booster shots to help ease the drastic inequity in dose distribution between rich and poor nations.īut that has not stopped a number of countries from moving forward with plans to add a third jab, as they struggle to thwart the Delta variant. "The fundamental, ethical reality is we're handing out second life jackets while leaving millions and millions of people without anything to protect them." "We're planning to hand out extra life jackets to people who already have life jackets, while we're leaving other people to drown without a single life jacket," WHO's emergency director Mike Ryan told reporters from the UN agency's Geneva headquarters. Speaking before US authorities announced that all vaccinated Americans would soon be eligible to receive additional doses, WHO experts insisted there was not enough scientific evidence that boosters were needed and said providing them while so many were still waiting to be immunised was immoral. ![]() The World Health Organization condemned Wednesday the rush by wealthy countries to provide Covid vaccine booster shots, while millions around the world have yet to receive a single dose. ![]() ![]() Even when ribs which are normally used for breathing are constricting, posterior ribs can use the non-breathing section of the lungs to suck air in and allow the snakes' survival.Īs these muscles are found in all snakes, it suggests that they could have been a crucial development in the evolution of these animals, and perhaps possessed by the ancestors of the group.Īmong the squamate reptiles, the levator costae are only found in limbless reptiles, suggesting it may be an adaptation that is crucial to a long, legless body form. The scientists found that the different sections of the ribs could move independently, with the muscles only activated in areas required to keep the snake breathing. This included defensive hissing, which saw some of the largest rib movements across the length of the body.Īn expandable cuff used to measure blood pressure was then wrapped around the snakes to allow the researchers to see how the snakes responded when the animals couldn't move certain areas of their body, as if they were constricting prey.Įlectrical measuring was also conducted to see if levator costae muscles for different sections of the ribs could activate independently, or if all the ribs were moved at once. The researchers used x-rays to examine how the ribs of captive Boa constrictor moved in different areas of the body during different behaviours. How does Boa constrictor breathe while squeezing and swallowing? ![]() Breathing is particularly important during these activities, which can increase the amount of oxygen the animal needs by up to 17 times its normal level.Īs Boa constrictor's lungs are also being compressed when it is squeezing prey to death, the survival of the snake has remained something of a mystery. However, when the ribs are being used for compression or expanding to swallow, the snakes can't also move them to keep the snake breathing. Instead, they move their ribs in and out to achieve the required changes in pressure to breathe. They also lack a diaphragm, which is usually used to draw air into the body. Their body can also expand to accommodate large food as snake ribs are only attached to the spine. As a result, their jaw can expand to allow them to swallow significantly larger prey than may otherwise be expected. Unlike mammals, the jaw bones of snakes are unfused and are instead connected by elastic tissue. Once their prey is dead, Boa constrictor consumes it whole. But more recent research has shown that instead the snakes cut off the blood supply to organs including the heart and brain, causing rapid unconsciousness and death. It was originally thought that the snakes killed their prey by cutting off its air supply and suffocating the animals. As the snakes get larger they can tackle bigger prey, with wild pigs among the largest eaten by Boa constrictor. To catch their food the snakes wrap their body around the prey and squeeze. The snakes eat a range of animals, from fish and small birds to monkeys and other reptiles. Some scientists now suggest there could be as many as five separate species, such as Boa imperator, although this is still debated. ![]() The most well-known species is Boa constrictor, which was for a long time the only species of its genus. The boas are a genus of snake found in Central and South America. ![]() |
