Dear All,
Thanks for all of your previous comments. Here are some more.
Freelance: � We work about forty hours a week for about fifty weeks; that�s
2000 hours. Freelance artists and graphic designers often calculate their
hourly rate by dividing their planned annual salary by half this amount,
that is, 1000.
Freezer size: � When buying a refrigerator freezer you can estimate your
needs by allowing 200 litres for two people plus 20 litres for each
additional member of your family.
Freezing: � You can overload the chilling capacity of your freezer. When
adding unfrozen food don�t put in more than 1 kg for each 20 L of freezer
capacity. If you have a 100 L freezer don�t try to freeze more than 5 kg at
a time.
Grapes: � One tonne (1000 kg) of grapes makes about 500 litres of wine.
Graves: � A human grave is 2.2 m long, 1 m wide, and 1.8 m deep. If you
intend to bury more than one person in the same grave add 600 mm of extra
depth for each body.
Greenhouse: � To store heat overnight in a greenhouse you can use containers
of water. A good start is one cubic metre of water for each square metre of
glass. Five 200 L drums are an inexpensive way of storing a cubic metre of
water.
Heads and feet: � If you are photographing people, make sure you check that
you have their heads and feet. Amateurs don't do this and half the time
either the heads, the feet, or both are completely or partially missing.
Heart beats: � Your heart pumps about 100 mL of blood into your blood
vessels every time it beats. That�s about 7 litres per minute when you�re
resting or 10 L/min when you�re walking briskly.
Heating an aquarium: � Allow one watt per litre (1 W/L) to heat a tropical
fish tank.
Height: � Your child's adult height will be twice their height at 22 months.
For example, if your child is 850 mm tall at 22 months, they will grow to
about 1.7 m.
