NEVER TAKE FROM THE TOP OF THE STACK
When choosing a lid or straw for a soda cup at a self-serve location never take the one on the top of the stack. It is more likely to be contaminated with other people's germs because of being touched, breathed on, coughed on, sneezed on then others deeper in the pile.

MAXIMIZING YOUR RANGE IN AN AIRPLANE
You will get your maximum range by flying at a speed that equals the airplane's "best-rate-of-climb" speed plus 25 percent. This speed will be close to the 45 percent power setting that is usually the lowest shown on range charts or graphs. In some aircraft, you may only gain a few miles, but they could make a difference.
