Hi, All:
With the very high hope that Iris-L will get more international, I would
like to share with you all something that I published on Alpine-L. If you
belong to international clubs or read wide-scope garden periodicals, the
scale is very handy and can be rearranged to suit your needs and printed out.
(OmniHorti is Alpine-L's way of consolidating and presenting "off-topic" ie,
non-alpine material as a single message.)

OH28-5 Temp Scale Conversions by Louise Parsons
School daze! Remember stalking the elusive cations in chemistry class? Who
could forget the day that--- burned a hole clear through his lab manual with
a blowpipe setup. These are what we remember instead of those formulae!
To convert from Fahrenheit to Centigrade: C= degrees centigrade, F=degrees
Fahrenheit:
C=5/9(F-32)
or to go the other way: F=(9/5*C)+32
Many small calculators have this already installed or if you haven't thrown
away the little book that tells you how to do everything, you can program
one yourself!
If all this seems like two much trouble because you squandered away the
hours in your math and science classes by burning holes in things, then here
is a standard chart with the results rounded because after all, we are not
trying to precipitate gold or anything here!
