Uses of a Weighing Scale

People have been using weighing scales for thousands of years, but only until recently have extremely accurate weighing methods been available. The original scales were developed to facilitate accurate commerce along major trading routes, which is still an important function today. Scales are now critical parts of the work of medical and scientific professionals.
  1. Identification

  2. Weighing scales are used to measure weight and/or mass of an object, reports the United States Department of Agriculture. Dozens of types of scales exist, but the simplest scale uses a beam and a pivot to balance the weight of one known object with another. More modern weighing scales use digital calibration to give a more accurate and quicker reading.
  3. History of Weighing

  4. People have needed to weigh objects, especially for trade, since the earliest known societies, claims Maths.org. Barterers had to determine how much food they required if they wanted to trade for construction materials. Around 1000 BC, societies in Asia and the Mediterranean acknowledged the need for a standardized weighing system. Stones were the first units of weight, according to Maths.org.
  5. Commercial

  6. An exact scale is critical for restaurants and other food industries that must portion food for sale. Meats, fruits and vegetables are usually sold by the pound; if you cannot correctly weigh an item the price per pound could vary widely from the actual weight. According to RestaurantReport, even at a profitable restaurant food costs around one-third of the total sale price. Labor and food can total 50 to 75 percent of total sales. Thus, even an error of only a few percentage points can have a large impact on a business's profit.
  7. Health

  8. A weighing scale is an essential component to maintaining the health of your body and measuring the progress of a growing child. The National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute uses a person's weight to calculate a Body Mass Index that can determine if you are under or overweight. To calculate BMI you divide your height in inches divided by total weight in pounds. An average BMI hovers in the 18 to 24 range.
  9. Science

  10. Chemists often deal with chemical equations that call for specific amounts of substances and different concentrations of solutions. If you wanted to make 1 gram of a 20 percent solution of sodium chloride (table salt), you would need to measure out 0.2 grams of NaCl and 0.8 grams of water, otherwise you cannot get an exact 20 percent solution.

找到一个可以替代ghs.google.com的地址

用Goole Blogger的自定义域名功能需要用到 ghs.google.com 做CNAME,或者用ping ghs.google.com 得出的IP做一个A记录.但是,伟大的GFW已经把 ghs.google.com 和部分IP屏蔽在大陆之外.这样的壮举使得我们的自定义域名不能正常访问,或者让你的网页背景.图片被滤掉,精心做成的模板变得惨白不堪. 那么,我们可不可以找一个替代 ghs.google.com 的地址呢?当然能.因为Google是强大的.它有许多有用的IP地址让你去探寻. 对 ghs.google.com 分析研究后发现, ghs.google.com 这台服务器并没有提供实质性的服务,而只是选择访问者访问最快的服务器(Google全球性公司,很多地区都有服务器).我们只要找到其他服务器的IP地址,并且这个IP地址没被屏蔽,那么就成了. 寻找这样的IP地址需要用到tracert命令.即在CMD模式下输入:tracert ghs.google.com ,在已经屏蔽的当下,最后自然得不出结果,这就需要我们使用代理了.使用不同地区的代理运行tracert ghs.google.com 命令. tracert ghs.google.com 的最后一跳会有类似这样的域名: eh-in-f121.google.com 如果在不用代理的情况下,你能ping通这个域名,那么恭喜你,你找到了!现在就可以用这个域名代替 ghs.google.com 设置你的CNAME了,ping出的IP地址可以做A记录,CNAME和A记录,只做其中之一就可以. hs-in-f121.google.com 64.233.179.121 eh-in-f121.google.com 72.14.207.121 bx-in-f121.google.com 66.249.81.121 ik-in-f121.google.com 66.249.91.121 这4个在我所在地区不能使用,而可以使用 tw-in-f121.google.com 72.14.235.121 或者209.85.171.121也可用 下面是一些不断更新的:74.125.43.121 除了使用代理来寻找,也可以通过一些网站提供的功能来寻找这个地址,很方便,就是使用网站提供的Traceroute.这些网站有: h
