Farthest From the Center of the Earth

Due to the bulge of the earth at the Equator, the peak of Ecuador’s Mount Chimborazo (20,700 feet or 6,310 meters) is the point farthest from the center of the Earth. Thus, the mountain claims the title of being the “highest point on Earth” (although Mt. Everest is still the highest point above sea level).

Mt. Chimorazo is an extinct volcano and is about one degree south of the Equator.

Boiling Temperature of Water Change

While at sea level, the boiling point of water is 212 F, it changes if you are higher than that. How much does it change? For every 500-foot increase in elevation, the boiling point drops one degree. Thus, at a city 5,000 feet above sea level, water boils at 202 F.

Why Rhode Island is Called an Island

The state commonly called Rhode Island actually has the official name of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations. “Rhode Island” is the island where the city of Newport sits today; however, the state also occupies mainland and three other major islands.

Home to the Most Muslims

has the largest population of Muslims. Approximately 87% of Indonesia’s population are Muslims; thus, with a population of 216 million, Indonesia is home to approximately 188 million Muslims. The religion of Islam spread to Indonesia during the Middle Ages.

Production and Exportation of the Most Rice Rice is a food staple worldwide and China is the world’s leading rice-producing country, producing just over one-third (33.9%) of the world’s rice supply.

Thailand is the world’s leading rice exporter, however, and it is exporting 28.3% of the world’s rice export. India is the world’s second largest producer and exporter.

Seven Hills of Rome

Rome was famously built upon seven hills.

Rome was said to have been founded when Romulus and Remus, twin sons of Mars, ended up at the foot of the hill Palatine and founded the city. The other six hills are Capitoline (the seat of government), Quirinal, Viminal, Esquiline, Caelian, and Aventine.

Africa’s Largest Lake

Africa’s largest lake is Lake Victoria, located in eastern Africa at the border of Uganda, Kenya, and Tanzania. It’s the world’s second largest freshwater lake, following Lake Superior in North America.

Chase away those winter blues with indoor s'mores.

Just swap out a classic campfire for your microwave, then grab the ingredients, and you'll have a finger-licking-good snack for everyone in the family in seconds.

Here's how to put smiles on everyone's faces in three easy steps: 1. On a small saucer, place a piece of a Hershey's chocolate bar on top of one half of a graham cracker. Add one large marshmallow, or several mini marshmallows.

2. Cook in your microwave on high

King Features Weekly Service

For those of us who could use an unexpected surprise to chase away the winter doldrums, here's an idea that's hard to beat. No, it's not moving to a sunny beach somewhere far away. It's making mouthwatering s'mores — indoors! Sound impossible? It's not!

February 14, 2022

S'mores Indoors

for about 10-15 seconds, or until marshmallows puff and grow.

3. An adult should remove the plate from the microwave, top with the other cracker half and gently press down on the gooey marshmallow. Let cool a bit so the snack isn't too hot.

Make several and serve with big glasses of milk. For extra fun, gather everyone around in a circle on sleeping bags, wrap yourselves in blankets, sing your favorite camp songs and tell stories as you savor your treat.

Note: A toaster oven works fine, too.

Cook the layered cracker, chocolate and marshmallow on the tray at 350 F until the marshmallow begins to brown.

Remove and top with the other cracker half. Six s'mores fit on most trays.

More Ideas: I've tweaked the basic recipe with a few variations kids like.

— Substitute a Peppermint Patty or good chocolate syrup drizzled over the marshmallow for the chocolate bar.

— For a surprise taste, spread a thin layer of peanut butter on one of the graham crackers before you add the other ingredients.

— Add a banana slice.

— For a s'more without the microwave, let preschoolers spread marshmallow cream and chocolate frosting on a graham cracker.

—For a creative hostess gift, take along prepackaged s'mores. Wrap up fully assembled s'mores in neat little packages using waxed paper. Tie together with string and arrange in a tissue-filled container.

Or, fill a gift bag with a box of graham crackers, a bag of marshmallows and a few chocolate bars for a simple kit.

* On March 3, 1845, Congress reins in President John Tyler’s zealous use of the presidential veto, overriding it with the necessary two-thirds vote. This marked Congress’ first use of the Constitutional provision allowing veto overrides. * On March 1, 1932, Charles Lindbergh, Jr., the 20-month-old son of aviation hero Charles Lindbergh, is kidnapped from the family’s new mansion in New Jersey.

The baby’s body was found a mile from the home. One of the $70,000 ransom bills was discovered and tracked to a German immigrant. He was tried, convicted and electrocuted in 1936. * On March 4, 1944, Louis “Lepke” Buchalter, the head of Murder, Inc., is executed at Sing Sing Prison in New York.

Lepke’s downfall came when several

members of his notorious killing squad turned into witnesses for the government. * On Feb. 28, 1953, Cambridge University scientists James Watson and Francis Crick announce that they have determined the double-helix structure of DNA, the molecule containing human genes. The molecular biologists were aided significantly by the work of another researcher, Rosalind Franklin, although she did not share the subsequent Nobel Prize. * On March 5, 1963, the Hula Hoop, a hip-swiveling toy that became a huge fad across America when it was first marketed by Wham-O in 1958, is patented. An estimated 25 million Hula Hoops were sold in its first four months of production. * On March 2, 1978, two men steal the corpse of the film actor Charles Chaplin from a cemetery in Switzerland. Chaplin’s wife refused to pay the $600,000 ransom and police later arrested two auto mechanics who were convicted of grave robbing and attempted extortion.

SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Any uncertainty that begins to cloud an impending decision could signal a need to re-examine your reasons for wanting to take on this commitment.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) You benefit from taking time out of your currently hectic schedule to do more contemplation or meditation. This will help re-energize you, both in body and soul.

CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Nursing hurt feelings can zap the energies of even the usually self-confident Sea Goat. Best advice: Move forward. Success is the best balm for a painful ego.

AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) A display of temperament surprises you, as well as those around you. It could be all that pressure you’re under. Consider letting someone help you see it through.

PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Some things don’t seem to be working out as you’d hoped. Don’t fret.

Instead, take some time out to reassess your plans and see where changes could be made.

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Your ideas are finally reaching those who can appreciate them. But don’t expect any immediate reactions. That will come later. Meanwhile, a personal matter needs your attention.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Your energy levels are rising, and you’re feeling restless and eager to get into some activity, whether it’s for profit or just for fun. In either case, the aspects are highly favorable, so go for it.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) A relationship seems to be winding down from passionate to passive. It’s up to you to decide what the next step will be.

But don’t wait too long to take the initiative. Delay could create more problems.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) A decision looms. But be very sure that this is what you really want before you sign or say anything. Once you act, there’ll be little or no wiggle room for any adjustments.

LEO (July 23 to August 22) Money matters improve, but you still need to be cautious with your spending. Also, set aside that Leonine pride for a bit and apologize for contributing to that misunderstanding.

VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) A tempting financial situation could make the usually unflappable Virgo rush in before checking things out. Be alert to possible hidden problems. Get the facts before you act.

Can’t work from home and build pipelines The 21st century saw the establishment of several field offices across the west. In 2002 they opened a field office in Bashaw, Alta. Another was opened in Athabasca, Alta., in 2008.

Eleven years ago A&B opened an office in Regina, and two years later set up shop in Estevan.

A&B’s footprint in Western Canada now includes offices in: Calgary, Blackfalds, Grande Prairie, Athabasca, Sedgewick, Regina and Burnaby. The oil downturn led to the closure of the Estevan office after a few years of operation.

Arnett said that while corporate offices are in Calgary, much of their back-office, as well as operations, are based in Blackfalds, just north of Red Deer. Their yard is just off Highway 2.

Asked how things have gone over the last five years, Arnett said, “We’ve grown. Our capabilities have expanded.

We’ve done lots of mainline right of way cleanup. We started a CPAC (cathodic protection alternating current) mitigation division and a coating division.”

The company is currently doing some “post-flood disaster relief” in the Lower Mainland of British Columbia.

With regards to labour issue facing a lot of oilfield service companies right now, Arnett said, “It’s always an issue.

It hasn’t been a major issue for us, but it is an industry issue. It’s not going away.

We have a good core group of people but if the workload doubles for us, it will be an issue like it is for everyone else.”

Regarding how they survived the last two years, she said COVID-19 was a big catalyst for companies to stop capital expenditures (CAPEX). However, much of their work is operational expenditure

(OPEX), and that made a difference.

She said, “I think we’re survivors.

We are unique in pipeline construction in that a lot of our work relies on OPEX versus CAPEX. So when all that CAPEX shut down, some of the OPEX budgets got expanded. So, it was definitely a 1-306-460-7011 down year for us, but we were able to chingconstruction@hotmail.com execute some great projects cleanly. You Kindersley, SK can’t do what we do by going home. And we were able to maintain operations in a safe, effective manner and continue doing what we’re doing. With a lot more prescriptive programs in place, we’re able to continue operations safely.”

With oil prices at US$90 a barrel, the best in eight years, Arnett said, “There’s lots of talk about things happening, but we’ll see what happens. I think there’s more projects in the back half of the year.

It’s one of these environments where I don’t think they all can happen, that are • Fluid Hauling being discussed right now. But there’s a • Pile Driving lot higher tendency for them to happen • Mobile Boilers in this environment.”

Thanks For Nothing

Catherine Graham of Marshfield, Massachusetts, recently cashed in on her 15 minutes of fame on “The Price Is Right” with host Drew Carey. She flew to Los Angeles to visit her daughter and attended a taping of the show, which aired on Feb. 1. As luck would have it, Graham ended up on stage with Carey and played for a great trip -- to New Hampshire! When Carey gushed, “New Hampshire is beautiful!” Graham replied, “Drew, I live in Boston! I’ve been to New Hampshire a million times!” But wait, there’s more! In order to collect the prize roundtrip airfare, she’ll have to travel to Los Angeles again to fly to Manchester, New Hampshire. “I just wish it was Tahiti ... or Bora Bora. A cruise around the world maybe,” Graham told WBZ-TV. But, she said, “It was so fun.”
