The technique can be used to improve the sound of some musical instruments.

As a result, the Earth is rotating slower and the day is growing longer."

A strip of red tape should be placed around rescue inhalers to help people quickly and readily distinguish them from regular controller inhalers. Remember! Using steroid inhalers to treat asthma symptoms that have suddenly gotten worse is not advised!
