![]() ![]() TRRs are easily identified from the letters “TR” between the two slots on the socket plate. If your home was built or upgraded before 2008 and you have children under the age of 10, you should seriously consider upgrading to tamper resistant receptacles.Īll of this is possible and completely childproof because of the shutter system used in TR receptacles. TRR upgrades are fairly inexpensive (sometimes as little as 50 cents more than your standard outlet) and since 2008 have been the standard for electrical outlets installed in new homes. While outlet covers can be removed, misplaced, or forgotten about after using an outlet, TRRs are always in place and passively protecting your child from your home’s electrical system. So what is a TRR? These are specially designed electrical receptacles that prevent anything other than electrical plugs from being inserted into the socket. ![]() While inserting plastic safety covers over all of your exposed outlets is definitely better than nothing, it’s far better to install tamper resistant receptacles (TRR). The exposed metal of a plug can also cause severe electric burns if partially plugged in. The typical victim inserts their finger or a small metal item like hairpins and keys into the outlet. Kids can also easily unplug devices that are plugged in and access the outlet that way. A study by Temple University, however, shows that all 2–4 year olds can easily remove these plastic covers within 10 seconds. Standard practice has been to use plastic outlet safety caps. Electrical Safety Tips for KidsĮlectrical outlets are well within reach of babies and small children, but we can’t remove them because they’re needed for daily life. You can hire an electrician to move them higher, but this is expensive and often impractical. Since May is Electrical Safety Month, now is the perfect time to properly childproof your home from electrical hazards. A little preparedness goes a long way in protecting your children, your home, and yourself from electrical systems. ![]() Consumer Product Safety Commission, about 7 children per day (2,400 per year) are treated in emergency rooms for shocks and electrical burns related to electrical outlets - 89% are less than 6 years old.įortunately, many of these electrical accidents can be easily prevented.

![]() It would be a poor patriot who could not remember what he or she was doing on September 11 2001. Some theorists have argued that part of the reason that our flashbulb memories are so long-lasting is because having such a vivid memory is “proof” of our membership in a particular social group. The US National Archivesįor instance, the 1977 study that coined the term “ flashbulb memories” showed that although both black and white Americans almost universally recalled flashbulb memories of John F Kennedy’s assassination, black Americans were more than twice as likely to have flashbulb memories for the assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr than were white Americans. Martin Luther King, Jr at the Civil Rights March on Washington, DC, August 28 1963. So why does learning about a big event create such vivid memories? And just how accurate are flashbulb memories? There might be an advantage to recalling the elements of important events that happen to us or to those close to us, but there appears to be little benefit to recalling our experience hearing this kind of news. In a flashbulb memory, we recall the experience of learning about an event, not the factual details of the event itself. ![]() These recollections are called flashbulb memories.

There are many examples of the use of retrogression, although it’s almost impossible to detect by ear – really it is more in the nature of a musical challenge for the composer, or a clever device for the players to appreciate. InversionĪnyone who has ever played scales in contrary motion has experienced inversion – one hand is essentially playing the mirror image of the other. Another example is the progression of chords in the blues. Rotation – this is through 180 degrees.Ī well-known example of the translation of a theme is in the first repeated phrase of Beethoven’s 5th Symphony.Retrogression – similar to reflection in a vertical line.Inversion – similar to reflection in a horizontal line.Translation – where the melody is moved up or down in pitch.Many of the possible modifications are highly mathematical by nature. Other Patternsīeyond strict repetition, composers often play with a theme, repeating phrases and then introducing modifications. Repetition is an almost defining feature of some of the most popular work of modern minimalist composers such as Philip Glass and Arvo Pärt. Whole melodies can be repeated by different voices, with a delay, such as when we sing rounds like Frère Jacques. ![]() It can also act as a link or bridge in music.

The normal fine for unlawfully tinted windows in California is $25, so you should expect to get away with a relatively light fee if this is your first time being pulled over for any offense. If you’re pulled over, a lot will rely on the type of ticket you get. If you are pulled over and the officer asks if you want to be searched, you have the right to say no unless there is a good reason for the search or you have contraband visible in your vehicle. The fact that you have illegally tinted windows does not give the police the right to examine your vehicle without a warrant is crucial to understand. If your windows are excessively dark, you’re going to get pulled over. Can You Get Pulled Over For Tinted Windows In California? However, a severely tinted windshield can also be a safety problem tinting your windows makes it more difficult to see out of them at night, and if the VLT of your windshield is below 20%, it can effectively leave you driving in the dark at evening. No, I’m not recommending that you tint your windshield, because doing so would be against the law. Any window tint with a VLT below 70% on the front side windows is unlawful. Only the top portion of the windshield is allowed to be tinted, while the rest of the windshield is completely clear.

The darker the tint, the more difficult it is to see through the windshield and the front side windows. Keep this window tinting rule in mind if you own an older car that only has a side mirror on the driver’s side. You must have dual side mirrors if you tint your rear window this should not be a problem for the majority of drivers as recent rules demand dual side mirrors on all automobiles built today.

As a composition, the title track - little more than an endlessly repeated, cyclical riff for musicians to throw licks at - isn't much to rave about. Some of the credit belongs to the excellent combo the guitarist-singer from Illinois is joined by. As much as the innovators (who, lest we forget, were equally inspired by what had gone before them) Walker looks up to, this jazz-blues-folk-rock mesh isn't an ill-fitting role taken on in order to chase a fad or a bloodless pastiche that speaks volumes about a lack of original vision instead, this ragged, loose, appealingly free-flowing music's quite clearly what Walker was born to play. However, Walker inhabits these timeworn templates with a conviction and drive that make copycat accusations seem ridiculous. The expressionist vocal style that favours how things are said over what is actually being said, as honed and perfected by Buckley and Van Morrison the pulsating, heavily jazz-tinged grooves reminiscent of Pentangle the ecstatic explorations into the borderlands of jazz, folk, blues and rock of John Martyn around Inside Out, with added touches of traditional British folk forms and the US odd-folk tradition that powered up much of Walker's debut All Kinds of You it's all here, creating a spectacularly well-studied time capsule trip to the long-gone era when psychedelic influences frazzled the earnest edges of folk-orientated singer-songwriters. For example, describing the loose-limbed "Summer Dress" without instantly mentioning Tim Buckley, more specifically the far-out explorations of Starsailor and Lorca, is only really possible if you've never happened to come across Buckley's wilder outings. In a way, the debt Ryley Walker owes to his inspirations is just as blatantly obvious as the similarity between the most omnipresent mega-hit of 2013 and Gaye's '76 funk opus "Got to Give It Up". ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() AES, MVS, Neo Geo Pocket, Neo Geo Pocket Color, Hyper Neo Geo 64, Neo Geo CD, Neo Geo CDZ.

![]() Upon freezing, the volume of mercury decreases by 3.59% and its density changes from 13.69 g/cm 3 when liquid to 14.184 g/cm 3 when solid. This effect is due to lanthanide contraction and relativistic contraction reducing the radius of the outermost electrons, and thus weakening the metallic bonding in mercury. It has a freezing point of −38.83 ☌ and a boiling point of 356.73 ☌, both the lowest of any stable metal, although preliminary experiments on copernicium and flerovium have indicated that they have even lower boiling points. Compared to other metals, it is a poor conductor of heat, but a fair conductor of electricity. Mercury is a heavy, silvery-white liquid metal. Mercury poisoning can result from exposure to water-soluble forms of mercury (such as mercuric chloride or methylmercury), by inhalation of mercury vapor, or by ingesting any form of mercury.Īn old pound coin (density ~7.6 g/cm 3) floats on mercury due to the combination of the buoyant force and surface tension. Electricity passed through mercury vapor in a fluorescent lamp produces short-wave ultraviolet light, which then causes the phosphor in the tube to fluoresce, making visible light. Mercury remains in use in scientific research applications and in amalgam for dental restoration in some locales. ![]() Likewise, mechanical pressure gauges and electronic strain gauge sensors have replaced mercury sphygmomanometers. Mercury is used in thermometers, barometers, manometers, sphygmomanometers, float valves, mercury switches, mercury relays, fluorescent lamps and other devices, though concerns about the element's toxicity have led to mercury thermometers and sphygmomanometers being largely phased out in clinical environments in favor of alternatives such as alcohol- or galinstan-filled glass thermometers and thermistor- or infrared-based electronic instruments. The red pigment vermilion is obtained by grinding natural cinnabar or synthetic mercuric sulfide. Mercury occurs in deposits throughout the world mostly as cinnabar ( mercuric sulfide). A heavy, silvery d-block element, mercury is the only metallic element that is known to be liquid at standard conditions for temperature and pressure the only other element that is liquid under these conditions is the halogen bromine, though metals such as caesium, gallium, and rubidium melt just above room temperature. ![]() It is also known as quicksilver and was formerly named hydrargyrum ( / h aɪ ˈ d r ɑːr dʒ ər ə m/ hy- DRAR-jər-əm) from the Greek words, hydor (water) and argyros (silver).
