The logistics company was suppose to maintain the service quality according to their agreement with you. Use this logistic company at your own risk and peril. It's very regretful that their services are not being provided with contracted quality but with extreme high risk. The lies they tell about a false delivery, that makes customers look bad for complaining about no delivery. Their services are laced with gross negligence, What I intend to inform you is that the delivery company is inadequate, fraudulent and negligent. Provide shipment tracking experience like Amazon. Get real time tracking info of multi-carriers in one integration. Use Trackingmore API for: Real Time Tracking. My observation is based on over 10 incidents with this company. TrackingMore API allows developers to add package tracking functions easily. Review tracking information: After a moment, the website will display the current status of your package, including its last known location and estimated delivery date. Or they didn't deliver it yet claimed false delivery. Enter your tracking number: On the tracking page, enter your LaserShip package tracking number and click the 'Track' button. So someone unknown could have taken my packages. I live in a residential building, leaving my package unattended, no security personnel. They indicated that they left my package by my apartment door, floor or at the lobby of a 5 storey building unattended to, which was a lie. And as stipulated in their proof of delivery. They don't make any contact with a customer. When in actual fact your staffs are either stealing packages, and they take false pictures to prove false delivery, or deliver to the wrong customer. And you as a company you take their false proof of delivery as legit. Your delivery personnel's or whatever you call them are damn liars. Customers claim is dead on arrival to them as they will deny any form of accountability and so much more. When reports are made to your company to make a claim for lost packages of money's worth. NEGLIGENCE/ GROSS INCOMPETENCE OF YOUR LOGISTICS COMPANY Dear Lasership, Your company represents everything fraudulent, gross malpractices, negligence, falsification of proof of delivery, no accountability. I manage to get from Amazon that mine packages in the future will not be delivered by lasership. Amazon probably thinks I'm trying to scam or something. Lasership fckd up 2x in a row and I'm now left without any package. ![]() ![]() I waited few days and Amazon now can't replace it again cause it already has been replaced. Thanks to the LaserShip tracking service, it is possible to know the exact location of the parcel or the state in which it is. I went thru the cameras and no, no one showed up. Like many postal services and parcel delivery companies in the world, LaserShip makes sure to establish a tracking number on all its parcels. This time they even didn't took a photo of delivery. I went immediately to check cause I was at home, nothing was there. Again with lasership delivery, I had a update on the app delivered. Like what? I paid extra for the next day delivery and I can't even get response now in the next 72hrs So Amazon did resend the item telling me you will receive the item the next day. They said to me we will get back to you in the next 72hrs. They delivered to unknown lobby to me in middle of Manhattan, and I tried contacting customer service of theirs saying it's it's wrong adress. I paid Amazon to have package delivered the next day cause I needed the package urgently. They updated the Amazon app as delivered even taking a photo of delivery, and it was a wrong adress. ![]() ![]() ![]() Williams: The film is set in the 1960s, and Phoebe inspired me to recall the movie sirens of the ’30s and ’40s such as Lauren Bacall and Lana Turner. Their performances were simply so good that I couldn’t resist. John Williams: When I saw the film, I loved both Harrison and Phoebe so much that I became proprietary and didn’t want anybody else to write music for them. What made you change your mind and do the entire film? You previously said you may just do the movie’s themes. Williams, who lands his 54th total Oscar nomination, scored the fifth and last installment of the Indiana Jones series and will be vying for his sixth Oscar. It flowed out of the piano into my hands and back out again. I was improvising and came up with the “Family Theme.” For sure, my dad came through that thing. Karpman: It was the first time I played the piano since it had been restored. The score, including the two main themes, “Monk’s Theme” and “Family Theme,” was composed on your father’s newly restored piano, which you had just gotten back that day. ![]() Let’s use a flute as one of the lead instruments in American Fiction.” Karpman: There’s a really amazing young, Elena Pinderhughes, and I had the idea of using her for the sound of the villain in The Marvels and I thought, “How perfect. You were scoring The Marvels at the same time. It’s not just that it was “Monk.” It felt like the right vibe in terms of the rhythms of the action. There’s something jazzy about the interplay between the cast members. Laura Karpman: It was a mandate because of the obvious reference to Monk, but it goes deeper than that. Was it a given that the score would be jazz-oriented since Jeffrey Wright’s character is named Thelonious and nicknamed “Monk”? Within three to four days, he had it finished, and we got it submitted in time. And I just happen to know a person that took that on several years back as part of his education … And so he used that recorder that you got to take home in elementary school to find all the notes and write it all out. But one of the submission requirements was that it would be in a written form. What was the biggest challenge throughout this process? So our intention was to create something that they could use in a movie, but we could also use later to honor our people in celebration. ![]() Because that, to us, felt like a death sentence. Scott George: That’s kind of why we made. You’ve said your life is defined by music. George has already made history, becoming the first Native American to land an Oscar nomination for best original song with the Osage Tribal Singers for “Wahzhazhe,” a celebratory song that soundtracks the film’s final scene. They had some pretty big movies - The Little Mermaid and Wish - that they spent a lot of money on. It was the only Disney song that got through. Even with this song, I kind of did this on my own. Maybe it’s weird for some people to see me as that, but I have to fight for a lot of stuff. Warren: I am always the little underdog, which I love. Of your 15 nominated songs, 10 - including this one - scored the film’s only nomination. This is kind of my theme song, too, I have to say. As I was writing it, I’m thinking, “I’m like that, too.” I’m the person always having to convince people and fight for what I believe in. But that “fire inside” can also refer to inner drive, something Warren has in abundance.ĭiane Warren: The song’s really about passion. On one level, it refers to the burning sensation one would get from eating too many Flamin’ Hot Cheetos (the snack food concocted by the movie’s subject, Richard Montañez). The title of Warren’s latest Oscar contender - her seventh in a row - can be interpreted two ways. Music and lyrics by Billie Eilish, FINNEAS I like to have a mirror - I felt that collaboration space would be sacred.ĭan, Jon obviously felt you were a kindred spirit.ĭan Wilson: When “Closing Time” was coming out, my first daughter was in the hospital the entire year … I felt I could understand what it’s like to have your most glorious musical successes accompanied by personal difficulty. Why did you bring in Dan Wilson to co-write?īatiste: His ability to sit with artists in their most personal and vulnerable moments and not usurp or influence the authenticity of the expression. One of the themes of our relationship is creativity as an act of survival. They were never meant to be released publicly. These lullabies were meant for her to go to sleep easier and have peace in the hospital. She is a best-selling author and couldn’t put pen to paper because the medication blurred her vision badly, so she began to paint and I began to write lullabies. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() With the Droll Yankees Yankee Flipper, your backyard birds will enjoy dinner and a show. Lid may not be as secure as other designs Type: Tube | Material: Metal | Dimensions: 4.13 x 4.13 x 12.38 inches | Weight: 1 pound | Feed Capacity: 0.98 pounds | Number of Ports: 4 All in all, you’re getting a secure feeder that will attract a variety of birds while keeping furry wildlife away. The metal construction also ensures this feeder lasts several seasons if you properly wash it and ensure the feed doesn’t become overly saturated from rain or winter weather. The wire mesh grid is also much smaller compared to other feeder designs that still allow squirrel paws to grab seeds. Similar to our best overall pick, this feeder also has weight-activated perches that close the ports when a heavy pest lands on them. We also think this bird feeder has a smart design to attract both perching and clinging birds thanks to four metal perches and a cage surrounding the feeder. While this feeder’s capacity is the smallest on our list (just 0.98 pounds of feed), we think it’s a great compromise compared to the larger bird feeders on our list that may require more frequent cleanings. If your yard doesn’t typically attract a large amount of birds or you’ve never owned a bird feeder before, we recommend the Squirrel Buster Mini Squirrel-Proof Feeder. Type: Tube | Material: Polycarbonate | Dimensions: 6 x 6 x 23 inches | Weight: 2.1 pounds | Feed Capacity: 5.1 pounds | Number of Ports: 6 However, we still love the thoughtful design of this feeder and think it will easily attract a variety of songbirds to your yard. A clinging bird can perch on a tree upright and even upside down, so they prefer bird feeders that have a wire cage surrounding them rather than just perches. Our only minor complaint is this feeder is not designed for all birds, such as woodpeckers and nuthatches, that prefer to cling while they eat. We also love that you can buy a baffle ring-to further deter squirrels-if you do plan to use this feeder on a pole. This feeder comes ready to hang, but you can also purchase it with a pole-mount adaptor if you don’t want to hang it directly on a tree. In addition to having six perches around the bottom of this feeder, it also comes with a cardinal ring, which is designed to make feeding easier since they cannot turn their heads as easily as other birds. This feeder has weight-activated perches that will close the seed openings when a heavier pest like a squirrel or crow tries to land on it. The Brome Squirrel Buster Plus Squirrel-Proof Bird Feeder is one of the most versatile bird feeders on the market, making it our top choice on our list. Here are the best squirrel-proof bird feeders on the market to attract a variety of birds and deter pests. While picking products, we evaluated them based on their durability, mounting options, seed capacity, and target species. The excellent news is birdseed will inevitably spill, and many larger birds can usually gain some access to what has spilled on the ground below."īased on Witko’s advice, we’ve spent several hours researching the best squirrel-proof bird feeders on the market. While many larger species, such as our jays or larger woodpeckers, won't be able to enter the feeder, the feeders are readily usable for our smaller species, such as chickadees, titmice, nuthatches, and several species of finch. "Bird feeders that deter squirrels through something like a cage are much more small bird-friendly. According to Chad Witko, an outreach biologist for Audubon’s Migratory Bird Initiative, when searching for a feeder, look for one with features designed for the types of bird species you want to attract to your yard. The various shapes and perches offered on bird feeders will also affect the type of birds you attract. You can find these bird feeders in a variety of styles, including hanging, platforms, and pole-mounted. Unlike standard bird feeders that have large wire mesh openings that allow squirrels to easily grab seeds, squirrel-proof bird feeders have mechanisms that activate when a squirrel lands on the bird perch or tray.

After all, scammers have huge amounts of money and can afford serious kit.Īll any victim really has to do is accept that it might be a fake and look for obvious discrepancies in what is seen from what is heard. Some of these faked video calls are extremely good. Most victims are happy to see and hear from the object of their relationship and accept all manner of “technical glitches.” Except none of it is real. The victim sees a person talking on screen and hears words coming out of the speakers. So they explain it as slow internet connections, of Skype’s fault, etc. The scammers know this is something that most people would accept. Of course, the spoken words never sync with what is on the screen, but there is always an excuse for that.Įven in real video chats or video conferences synchronization is rarely perfect. There is one exception for this, and that is that the scammer obtained a recorded video that was originally intended for a loved one and can be used for their purpose, but these are rare. In most cases the scammer will claim their microphone is not working, so they display the video but communicate via text.īut in other cases, they have stripped the audio off of the video, and instead will use their real voices as the pre-recorded video plays. The call is made and the connection established. They will edit out anything that may show them as a fake and also to limit the length of the call – since the longer the call the more likely the victim is to suspect it is all a fake. The scammers simply use these to pull a video from someone that suits their needs. There are countless apps online to steal (copy & download) videos. Even normal people get impersonated using the photos and videos they upload to their personal Facebook profiles. The people that they steal photos from are usually public figures, and not only have photos available but also recorded videos. In many cases, the scammers are fully capable of faking a video chat. REMEMBER TO NEVER CONFRONT A SCAMMER OR ADMIT THAT YOU KNOW IT IS A SCAM. This is the ultimate red flag and all victims should stop the scam right there.īut some will be able to do it, and the victim needs to understand what to do in these cases. The scammer will claim any number of reasons why a video call is not possible. Obviously, if the scammer makes excuses when they do not have a recorded video or do not have the software to fake a video call. The Scammer will agree to the video chat, but usually not right then – they need time to prepare the fake video chat – though many times they can do it immediately.The Scammer will claim any number of excuses – they don’t have access to wifi, their camera does not work, they don’t have their makeup on, the dog eat their homework – in many cases, the scammer will try to turn this into a loyalty test and be angry or offended that the victim does not believe them.The victim Makes The RequestĪt this stage one of two things will happen: The victim simply wants to spend more time with the object of their online relationship and requests a face-to-face video chat to see the person of their affection (fake as it is – but the victim does not yet know this). All center around the basics of a romance that the scammer has expertly manipulated the victim into believing. It can be a business-related scam or an emergency. The typical situation is that a scammer sets up a scam. FACT #4: Victims are not experts in digital forensics and would not know a pre-recorded video from a live one if they are set up with the proper story.FACT #3: Victims are expertly manipulated into accepting the most outrageous stories spun by their scammer.FACT #2: Scammers never reveal their real face until they run out of options and need to try a new scam approach.FACT #1: Scammers steal photos and videos of the real people they want to impersonate. ![]() Stolen Photos – Impersonation Victims – Women Adult Models & Video StarsīUT HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE?

I learned later, after the chase, that Hannah came down the stairs for a face-off with the squirrel, who was sitting on our record player. I was on the phone with Esmé when the choreography defied sense. Sometimes I am so lonely I’ll believe anything. Only then did I notice my own dogs in my own room with me. Then I heard her say, Stay in the room and don’t come out. I knew this-I heard her upstairs saying something about metaphor or meter when I also thought she was going through bags in the kitchen. It especially didn’t make sense because Hannah was teaching a class on Zoom she wasn’t making all those noises. I was on the phone with my friend Esmé and I thought, Stop making noise like that. In retrospect, none of them would have made noise like that-they’re all fairly quiet. ![]() The first time one of the squirrels breached the house, meaning it made its way inside the actual house, I thought all the noise was my wife Hannah. It is a cheap metaphor-animalistic properties, so what. I write about violent mating as the squirrels scale the windows, making eye contact, unafraid. But still, having written about it, I am writing about it again-this time in novel form that story doesn’t go away for me. I don’t want to compare squirrel mating to my own assaults that feels off-color to me. I thought about that as metaphor, but I’ve already written that kind of essay, that story. I like that the female squirrel has power-that the fighting above our kitchen and bedroom and bathroom isn’t just squirrel rape but something more. I looked into this myself, on the internet, and read that squirrel semen coagulates into a vaginal plug inside the female, which she sometimes removes in order to fuck some more. That’s what the Clint Eastwood guy said to me yesterday. ![]() They practice aerobics and compose music in our office spaces they built a roller coaster above the stairs. For a long time, they did not believe us about the squirrels. They extend ladders and hustle through the crawl spaces on their hands and knees. The other men sort of just follow directions. Another is older, wizened by years of animal mysteries he’s the One Last Job guy in the movies who does his thing impressively, wickedly, cunningly. One seems queer my wife and I think he’s flagging himself to us, though we have limited time with other people these days we are lonely we’ll see anything. There are a few men-all with different energy and trapping styles. I’ve become friendly with the men who come to take care of the squirrels. This should carry allegorical or metaphorical properties that might make it feel better. Each time they scratch and chatter above the bedroom ceiling, or nibble through the insulation of our attic leaving a confetti of toxins on the kitchen counter, each time they screech and scream their mating calls and fuck and tumble and find a new way into our house, I think, This should mean something. I can’t find a metaphor for the squirrels. ![]() ![]() Job Simulator is almost more about these controllers than it is VR. No finger control, no, but you can pick up, move and throw objects which do not, in fact, exist, and this is a big part of why the humble brain quickly settles on 'sure, this is basically real, why not?' These are key to the whole experience, because they let you use your hands. The Vive usually gets talked about as a virtual reality headset and as one that turns your room into a navigable playspace, but there's a third string to its bow, which is its wireless motion controllers. Job Simulator is a hoot, make no bones about it, but it's an inventive and funny showcase rather than something I'm going to repeatedly check in on. Wii Sports was the game you used to demo your console and delight relatives with, yes, but it's also the one that you actually went back to time and again. With its physics-based buffoonery and playful cartoon style it's tempting to call it the Wii Sports of Valve's VR platform, but I think that honour will ultimately go to something else, something I haven't tried or perhaps don't even know about yet. ![]() It's hard to say exactly what is the headline act for the Vive, whose first major foray into public availability began today, but Owlchemy's Job Simulator is certainly one of the biggest hitters. The future is here, and it's bloody ridiculous. Job Simulator is a cheerful satire of a possible future in which robots rule the world and recreate the boundlessly mundane human jobs of yesteryear for their own entertainment - but this cannot come close to the fundamental absurdity of what I am doing with a VR headset today.
