    AEROPHORE
    January 12, 1875 - U.S.A.

    The aerophore, an apparatus to enable a person to enter a noxious, inflammable atmosphere, was successfully tested at Chatham, 12-14 Jan 1875. Invented by Louis Denayrouze, a naval lieutenant, it comprised an air-pump, lamp, and flexible tubing*. Air in cylinders at a pressure of 300-350 lb/in2, reduced through a valve to atmospheric pressure, supported respiration. The apparatus was heavy and unmanageable for more than an hour's supply. He and Benoit Rouquayrol, a French mining engineer, had patented an underwater aerophore (1865), a steel tank filled with compressed air carried on a diver's back, connected through valves to a mouthpiece. It was the predecessor of contemporary scuba equipment.

Lawton of Ridgewood, N.J., and Capt. Melville H. Bloomer of Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. They assigned the patent to the Western Union Telegraph Co. (No. 2,607,717).

ARTICLE CONTENT :

Each time you play casino games online, you could fall prey to scam artists. It does not matter whether you play American roulette, blackjack, slots, keno or any other gambling game, you should constantly be aware of the possible online scams and take all necessary preventive steps to avoid being scammed. You can have a lot of fun playing online, provided that you preclude scams from interfering with your game. By observing the following steps, you can ensure a much safer gambling experience on the Internet.

- Before you ever sign up for any gambling site, make certain you have installed the latest anti-spyware and virus protection on your personal computer. You are also suggested to choose the automatic updating and scanning feature.

- Seek reputable sites only. Steer clear of new sites or the ones you are not able to find information about. You can turn to online gamblers that you know personally or check up gambling or news websites or other sources. The best advice: if you cannot find any dependable information on an online casino site, steer clear of it.

- Do not loan money to other online gamblers that you do not know in person. There are scammers that will begin conversations with you and carry on interacting for long periods of time just to gain your confidence. You may even meet some scammers who will promise to pay you off more.

- Do not reveal personal data by email, or respond to emails sent by online gambling sites. Some online gambling scams use e-messages that are purportedly sent by reputable websites, but they are actually a scam. Any time you have to update or change your personal information, do it on the main website only.

- Do not download any software program that promises it can assist you in playing any online gambling games. Some will state that it is possible to see other gamblers' cards, or help you win. However, these types of applications are likely to be a scam.

- steer clear of sites that guarantee you will win. When it comes to gambling, it is impossible to guarantee a win, and you are likely to lose more often than win.

Stay alert! Once you find a reputable site, stick to it.
