Let's say your teenager is using a powered routine outside and standing with simple legs in a mess. Not a wise decision. Let's say the routine does not work properly and leaking power out of its appropriate build. Electricity takes the direction of least level of resistance, which just might be from the routine, along hands and legs, and into the mess. If the routine were connected to a common store, this could be a critical incident.
In the past few years, the Nationwide Electric Value has involved specifications for unique safety outlets where such injuries could happen. These unique outlets are called "GFIs" (Ground Mistake Interrupters) or "GFCIs" (Ground Mistake Routine Interrupters) -- two different brands for the same thing. They are required by the Nationwide Electric Value in car ports, cooking places, restrooms, regularly, schools, and in some other outside places where water could be present.
A GFI, or safety store, finds that the present in equipment is no more streaming in its appropriate circuit. It turns off the present within milliseconds. In the situation of our teenager, if the routine were connected to a security store, electrocution would be prevented -- a life stored.
GFIs look different from common outlets. They have two control buttons marked "Test" and "Reset." You can examine that the store will cut off present when needed for safety by pushing "Test." Analyze should close off present to the store so that the store no more provides energy. After examine, you can recover present to the store by pushing "Reset."
Newer GFIs also have a small natural signal mild that lets you know that it's offering energy. This is a useful feature when you perform your test. It's also useful because every now and then, safety outlets may be activated without your knowledge and may no more be offering energy. The insufficient the natural mild will aware you to this scenario.
A Downside
This is the disadvantage of safety outlets -- they can be activated without your acknowledging, or they can become defective and can trip regularly for no reason. Let's say you have a powered tooth brush charger connected to a security store in your restroom. The store has somehow been activated and no more provides energy. If it's with a natural signal mild, the mild will be off. In any situation, if it's missing energy, media "Reset" and energy should be renewed.
Another probability is that a store in a kitchen, restroom, garage area, or patio is not a security store but is "protected" by a GFI elsewhere in the build. If a non-safety store in your house has missing energy, you can examine for this scenario by making sure that all the GFIs in your cooking places, restrooms, and other places have not been activated and are still offering energy.
Home Protection Check
Check that your cooking places, restrooms, garage area, and outside places are with operating GFIs. (Refrigerators are mismatched keeping the vehicle safe outlets and should not be connected to one nor secured by safety outlets elsewhere in the build.) If you have GFIs, remember that they have a restricted lifetime, so media the Analyze option of each at least once a month to examine that they close off energy as designed.
If your home doesn't have safety outlets or they will operating, call a certified electrical engineer to get an calculate for set up. GFIs are a relatively affordable investment in your household's safety.

WASHINGTON (AP) ? The Democratic Party is moving to include support for gay marriage in the official party platform for the first time, a Democratic official said Monday, marking a key milestone for advocates of same-sex unions.
The party's platform drafting committee voted to include language backing gay marriage during a weekend meeting in Minneapolis, the official said. Democratic delegates will formally approve the platform during the party convention in Charlotte, N.C. in early September.
President Barack Obama will officially accept his party's nomination at the convention, which marks the start of the fall campaign blitz. Republican rival Mitt Romney will get the GOP nomination a week earlier during his party's convention in Tampa, Fla.
Seeking to ramp up enthusiasm among Democrats, party officials said Sunday that former President Bill Clinton will deliver the nominating speech on Wednesday night of the convention. Obama and Biden are to speak on Thursday, the convention's final night.
Several prominent Democrats began pushing earlier this year for support of same-sex marriage to be included in the convention platform, which lists principles the party supports. The effort got a boost in May when Obama voiced his personal support for same-sex unions.
The Democratic official would not comment on the exact language of the pro-gay marriage plank approved by the drafting committee. It was unclear if the party would call for any national action to legalize gay marriage.
Obama has said he considers gay marriage to be a state issue, not a federal matter.
The official spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publically about the platform committee's decision.
The move was first reported by The Washington Blade.

If you are a Windows Phone user, the good news is that The Weather Channel app just got a big 2.0 upgrade. The bad news? The new version is just for people who own Nokia Lumia smartphones, at least for now.
WPCentral.com has posted up information about what is included in the new Weather Channel 2.0 app. The biggest addition is an augmented reality feature that uses the Lumia's camera feature to show weather photos that have been taken by people who live in the area. The photos are from the Weather Channel's own iWitness program. Users can sign up for iWitness and then take weather related pictures on their Lumia device which will automatically be sent to the service.
The upgraded app also includes a way to track your Facebook and Windows Live friends to see how the weather is at their particular locations and even offers a way to see if your friends are under a special weather alert. The new app also lets users set up their own personal alerts to see if, for example, the pollen levels are too high.
Remember, this Weather Channel 2.0 app is just for Nokia Lumia users for now, although it's likely it will be launched for other Windows Phone devices at some point.

Although erectile dysfunction (ED) has been shown to be an early warning sign for heart disease, some physicians - and patients - still think of it as just as a natural part of "old age." But now an international team of researchers, led by physicians at The Miriam Hospital, say it's time to expand ED symptom screening to include younger and m [?]

JERUSALEM (AP) ? Mitt Romney says that if he worried about what reporters thought of him, he wouldn't get much sleep.
He says he's sleeping just fine.
The U.S. presidential candidate tells CBS' "Face the Nation" that he isn't sweating the upcoming Newsweek magazine cover that leads with "Romney: The Wimp Factor."
He says the media tried a similar criticism of President George H.W. Bush. Romney says Bush "was a pretty great president" who was not a wimp.
A 1987 Newsweek profile featured a profile of then-Vice President Bush with the title ? "Fighting the 'Wimp Factor.'"
Asked whether he had ever been called wimp, Romney says the Newsweek cover is a first.
Romney is in Israel on an international trip set to introduce him on the world stage.
Indian activist Anna Hazare, who galvanised the country last year with his hunger strikes against corruption, began a new fast Sunday to press demands for a crackdown on official graft.
Hazare and his supporters want parliament to strengthen a pending anti-corruption bill and the creation of a special team to probe possible graft allegations against 15 ministers, including Prime Minister Manmohan Singh.
The 75-year-old former army truck driver threatened to fast until death if the demands are not met.
"I am confident that... the people of my country will not let me die. I draw my strength and confidence from you," Hazare told several thousand supporters gathered at a popular protest site in central New Delhi.
Some senior members of the Hazare campaign had already started hunger strikes at the same venue four days before.
Hazare became an unlikely national hero last August when he led countrywide protests that tapped into a rich seam of public anger at India's endemic corruption.
During a 12-day hunger strike, he was feted as a latter-day Mahatma Gandhi and mobbed at a triumphal procession through the capital New Delhi.
Singh's government, tainted by a series of graft scandals, was caught out by the outpouring of public emotion and forced to negotiate with the Hazare campaign, which it previously condemned as manipulative and undemocratic.
Although around 4,000 supporters turned out Sunday as Hazare began his latest fast, observers say the campaign has lost much of its momentum since the heady days of last summer.
The media has also been less supportive, suggesting that Hazare risks overstepping in insisting that parliament adopts his campaign's input for the new anti-corruption bill.
"Anna and his cohorts must realise that they are only a pressure group. They cannot hold parliament to ransom. Their primary job is to keep the issue of corruption in play, the Times of India said in a recent editorial.
"Using fasts to arm-twist the government is against the very spirit of democracy and amounts to political blackmail," it said.
Hazare's direct attacks on Prime Minister Singh and the ruling Congress party have also led to accusations that he and his campaign organisers were pursuing a political agenda.
But his supporters who gathered on Sunday insisted that Hazare's message was very much alive and rejected suggestions that the campaign was losing steam.
"This rally is not about numbers. Our strength should not be measured in how many people have come here. Our strength lies in our conviction and truth," said Mitul Rana, 26, a software engineer.
Housewife Kaushalya Devi, 40, brought her eight-year-old son to the protest venue.
"Hazare is fasting for us, so we thought it was our duty to come and show our support," Devi said.
"I want my son to know about him because he is the only true leader of our country. Those who claim to be the leaders are corrupt from head to toe. We must expose their real faces," she added.
WASHINGTON (AP) ? A Maryland man accused of threatening to shoot up his workplace and who police say called himself "a joker" is a "gentle giant" who collected firearms for target practice and had expressed concerns about someone breaking into his apartment, a friend said Saturday.
Mike Cochran told The Associated Press in an email that Neil E. Prescott, accused of threatening a mass workplace shooting earlier in the week, had an active sense of humor. Cochran said his friend was "no stranger to sarcasm regardless of political correctness" and was fond of T-shirts with sarcastic or inflammatory comments. When first approached by officers, police say Prescott was wearing a shirt that said, "Guns don't kill people. I do."
Cochran said he couldn't imagine that Prescott, 28, who police say was in the process of being fired from his job, intended to be taken seriously when he allegedly told a supervisor: "I'm a joker and I'm gonna load my guns and blow everybody up."
"The Neil I know made those comments sarcastically in an environment where he felt he could make them without being taken seriously," Cochran said in an email.
Prescott was taken into custody at his apartment in Crofton, near Annapolis, on Friday morning for an emergency psychiatric evaluation. No charges, either state or federal, had been brought against him of Saturday. Police found a cache of about two dozen weapons, including semi-automatic rifles and pistols, and several thousand rounds of ammunition. At least some of the firearms were legally acquired, authorities say.
It wasn't immediately clear if or when the threat was to be carried out, but last week's mass shooting at a Colorado movie theater during the latest Batman movie ? coupled with the "joker" reference ? put police on edge and gave the comments extra urgency.
"We can't measure what was prevented here, but what was going on over the last 36 hours was a significant incident in the county. And we think a violent episode was avoided," county police Chief Mark Magaw said Friday.
Prescott is a physically imposing man ? online court records for a 2007 speeding ticket list him as 6 feet 7 inches and 270 pounds. He was an avid firearms collector who also had an interest in electronics and computers and was known to spin house records as a disc jockey at Baltimore nightclubs, Cochran said.
A search for Neil Prescott on a website that tracks users' online activities led to a profile that appears to be him on mdshooters.com, a website for state gun enthusiasts. On it, he appears to trade advice about acquiring firearms and at times conveyed concern about break-ins near his apartment.
Cochran, who also posts on the site, said he received one message from Prescott last November that said: "Might be sleeping in tomorrow, just had a suspicious male at my door. Notified PD but am gonna be lookin out tonight. Some crazy breakins near me recently."
Prescott was an employee of a subcontractor for software and mailroom supplier Pitney Bowes. Police say he was either in the process of being fired or had already lost his job when he made the threats during two separate phone calls with a supervisor on Monday morning. The supervisor said the comments made him fear for his life, and he declined to comment Saturday to a reporter who showed up at his house.
He at one point said he wished to see his supervisor's "brain splatter all over the sidewalk," but also acknowledged that he shouldn't be saying such things over the phone, according to an application in support of a search warrant. The threats were then reported to the police.
Cochran said he's known Prescott since 2001, when they were colleagues at a technical support outsourcing company. He said he was a network engineer.
"With his skill set and education he would have had no problems finding other work with good pay. Neil did not at any point indicate to me that he had problems with where he was working," Cochran wrote.
Pitney Bowes spokeswoman Carol Wallace said Prescott had not been on any Pitney Bowes property in at least four months.

Let's say your teenager is using a powered routine outside and standing with simple legs in a mess. Not a wise decision.
