Q: The 1:1 ratio for each degree Celsius and Kelvin still applies while converting Kelvin to Celsius. You mostly need to remember the 273.15 number and perform the opposite operation as when you convert Celsius to Kelvin. If instead you need to convert the temperature from Kelvin to Celsius, you can simply reverse the operation and subtract 273.15. Let's say you're starting with a Kelvin temperature of 280K. Just subtract 273.15 from 280 to get the Celsius temperature. 280K - 273.15 = 6.85C. If the two values you have don't fit the pattern described in this table, check for math mistakes. If you start with an integer value of kelvins, your result in degrees Celsius will end in the decimal .15 (if Celsius is negative) or .85 (if Celsius is positive). Note how the difference between kelvins and Celsius becomes less important for very large numbers. Once you're dealing with 6+ digits, the difference is often within your margin of error. kelvins Celsius 0 -273.15 5 -268.15 50 -223.15 200 -73.15 500 226.85 1,000 726.85 100,000 approx. 99,700 10 million very close to 10 million
A: Understand the scales. Subtract 273.15 from your Kelvin temperature. Check your answer.

Q: There are three important characteristics of any bond. The first is the face value (also known as "par value"), which is the total amount of money the bond represents. The second is the interest rate, and the third is the length of the bond in years - the time between the bond's issuance and maturity. Corporations sell bonds to investors to raise capital. Investors purchase bonds at a certain price, and then receive interest payments every six months from the issuer. At the bond's maturity date, the investor also receives the face value of the bond in cash. For example, suppose a company needs to raise money for capital improvements. To raise the money, the company issues, or sells, $200,000, 10%, 5 year bonds. Investors purchase the bonds. The company gets the money from the investors for its capital improvements, but it has to pay the investors back plus interest. At the end of the five years, the bond matures. The company now owes the investor the amount paid for the bond plus the 10 percent interest. If a bond's interest rate differs significantly from the overall market rate for similar bonds, the bond will be sold at either a premium or a discount. Interest rates fluctuate daily. When interest rates rise, bond prices fall. When interest rates fall, bond prices rise. Similarly, when inflation is on the rise, bond prices fall. When inflation rates decrease, bond prices rise. Finally, bond issuers and specific bonds are rated by credit rating agencies. An issuer with a high credit rating is likely to get higher prices for a bond. Consider the company that is selling the $200,000, 10%, 5 year bonds. Suppose investors can get a better return on their investment than 10 percent because market interest rates are high. They won't want to purchase the bond for the face value because they could make more money with a different investment. So the company sells the bond at a $2,000 discount. Now investors can purchase that $200,000 bond for $198,000. When the bond matures after 5 years, the investor gets back the face value of the bond, $200,000, plus 10 percent interest. Using the same example, if market interest rates are lower than 10 percent, then the company's bonds give investors a better return than they would get on other investments. So the company sells the bonds at a $2,000 premium. Now investors must pay $202,000 for the bond. When the bond matures, the investor gets back $200,000 plus 10 percent interest. The carrying value is a calculation performed by the bond issuer, or the company that sold the bond, in order to accurately record the value of the bond discount or premium on financial statements. The discount or premium is amortized, or spread out, over the term of the bond. Accountants use this calculation to spread out the impact of the premium or discount over time on a company's financial statements. The carrying value (or "book value") of the bond at a given point in time is its face value minus any remaining discount or plus any remaining premium. Knowing how to calculate the carrying value of a bond requires gathering a few pieces of information and performing a simple calculation. Amortization is an accounting method that systematically reduces the cost of an asset over time. It spreads the effect of a bond discount or premium over the term of the bond. The amortized discount or premium is recorded as an interest expense on financial statements. By the time the bond matures, the carrying value and the face value of the bond are equal. For example, suppose a company sells a $200,000, 10%, 5 year bond at a $2,000 discount. The company receives $198,000 from investors. This is recorded on financial statements as a liability. The $2,000 is an asset. It is amortized, or recorded on financial statements in increments over the term of the bond. The difference between the face value of the bond and the unamortized portion of the discount at any point in time is the carrying value. The market value of a bond is the price investors are willing to pay for a bond. It is determined by market influences such as interest rates, inflation and credit ratings. Bonds can be sold at a discount or a premium, depending on the market. The carrying value, on the other hand, is a calculation accountants use to record the impact of the premium or discount on the bond issuer's financial statements. The carrying value is the net value of an issued bond for the bond issuer. It is calculated based on the amount of the bond premium or discount, the elapsed time in the term of the bond and the amount of amortization that has already been recorded.
A: Learn about the terms of a bond. Understand how companies raise capital with bonds. Understand the factors that influence bond prices. Know the meaning of the carrying value. Understand amortization. Understand the difference between carrying value and market value.

Q: Create the same soapy solution as above (a bowl of warm water with a few drops of mild dish soap) and use a non-abrasive scrubber to wipe up food and oil. Doing this once a week will help you keep up with the cleaning and avoid grease build-up.
A: Scrub the stove with soapy water once a week.

Q: Add just enough water to some baking soda to form a paste. Apply the paste topically to the bite. Use a meat tenderizer, such as Spice Cargo, that contains the enzyme papain and mix with a few drops of water to make a paste. Applied topically, this mix may help control itching and swelling. Crush an aspirin and add a little water to create a paste. Aspirin applied topically may help with the pain. Follow package dosing instructions.
A:
Try a home remedy for relief from the pain and itching. Ingest an over-the-counter pain medication, such as aspirin or acetaminophen.
