Although accidental deployments are not as common as they once were, it remains the pilots’ responsibility to check their equipment before every flight. Most accidental deployments could have been prevented if the pilot had performed a thorough preflight and maintained awareness of their parachute system. Checking the safety pin prior to launch, taking care not to snag the handle while launching or grab the wrong strap when trying to adjust the harness helps prevent accidental deployments. 3, record 8, English, - accidental%20deployment

Internet Explorer 4. 0x introduces a new way to handle events--event bubbling... For example, if a button is clicked, the click event is directed to the button. The event invokes an event handler if one is defined for that object. If no event handler is defined to take care of the event, or if the event handler does not return false(to cancel the event), the event proceeds to the parent object for handling. The event bubbles up the object hierarchy until it is handled, or until it reaches the topmost level, the document object. 1, record 9, English, - event%20bubbling

Shaving the layers of the film from the emulsion takes practice and patience. An over anxious retoucher usually ends up with an uneven job, or worse yet a few deep gouges. Keep the blade in motion, moving with small strokes in one direction-never back and forth. After etching, apply retouching fluid to the emulsion if lead will be used. Care must be taken when applying the fluid to avoid lines of demarcation. When applying retouching fluid or "dope", be sure the fluid is either fresh or thin. Thick, tacky retouching fluid will create a dust problem. Artist turpentine of methanol are good thinners to add to thickened fluid. Again, handle all chemicals with caution. Apply the retouching fluid only within the facial area when working on b/w portraiture. 3, record 12, English, - retouching%20fluid
