WATCHING YOUR HEART RATE
Your maximum safe heart rate is equal to 220 minus your age. For example, a 40 year old would have a maximum heart rate of 220-40 = 180 beats per minute. Your target heart rate for aerobic exercise is equal to 160 minus your age. That's the number of beats per minute you need to maintain or exceed during aerobic workouts.

THE QUICK RULE OF TEMPERATURE CONVERSION
To quickly convert Centigrade to Fahrenheit, double the temperature and add 30. Thus 10C is 50F and 20C is 70F. To convert from F to C, you subtract 30 from the F value and divide by 2. The exact formula is F= 9/5 C + 32.

MAKING RUNWAYS OUT OF ICE
Arctic engineers make their own icebergs to use as runways. It takes 26 inches of manmade ice to support a Caterpillar grader, 5 feet to support a 737 jet. Homemade ice forms faster and harder when the water is sprayed rather than flooded, but if the stream is aimed too high, the water falls as snow.
