What's Cooking Today?

True. However, on my first trip to England, our English guide said that the easy way to figure it is to double the C temperature, subtract 10% and add 32. I can do that in my head, so that's the way I do it. I like that! Much closer than how I do it.

But that's not always available and I have to do it in my head. Joyce -- - Your mom and I are going to divorce next month. - What??? Why! Call me please? - I wrote Disney and this phone changed it.

I hate math and if you want to know why....check this out (part of my work life) http://www.ndt-ed.org/GeneralResourc...eSquareLaw.htm Well, that brought back long-forgotten memories from my schooling! My Physics degree was modular, and the final exams were structured in such a way that it was possible to completely ignore one area of the subjects taught, and still achieve a high pass mark. I chose to ignore ionising radiation! Somewhat ironically, 20 years later, I was responsible for project managing the construction of a facility to house and run the national standard clinical linear accelerator for the UK, against which most other radiotherapy machines are calibrated! (For Hopitus, the Linac can operate at energies of up to 13MeV. I'm led to believe that most hospital machines use up to 7MeV). Incidentally, the walls around this facility are two-foot thick reinforced concrete, with an unusually high density (2.8 tonnes per cubic metre). The floor slab and walls have 'plugs' of concrete that can be relatively easily removed for testing of radioactive contamination, if there was ever a need to demolish the building. -- MatSav |
