  • How to Find All of the Special Hearts in "Yoshi's Story"

    Based on its predecessor, “Yoshi’s Island,” “Yoshi’s Story” is a Nintendo 64 based video game modeled on the "Super Mario" theme. As Yoshi progresses through the game, the difficulty level of the game rises and Yoshi must avoid pitfalls while collecting and eating items, such as pieces of fruit. Each stage of "Yoshi’s Story" has “special” hearts, with each collected heart having the power to restore health to Yoshi and provide him with an additional life.

  • How to Find the Ohm Rating of Hitachi Resistors

    If you want to do your own repairs on a Hitachi home theater, you may need to replace electrical resistors. Electrical resistors restrict the flow of electricity along the circuit, and need to be replaced with a resistor of the same ohm rating. If the resistor doesn't have the ohm rating written numerically, you can determine it by reading the colored rings around the resistor's body. These rings represent a code that provides the ohm rating, the multiplier and the tolerance.

  • How to Find the BTU Rating on a Furnace

    A furnace's energy input and output are measured in BTUs, or British Thermal Units, a unit of heat roughly equal to the warmth given off by a burning match. Every furnace has two hourly BTU ratings, one measuring the fuel energy it consumes and the other the amount of heat it provides to your home. Finding this data is very simple, provided you know where to look and are willing to do a little math.

  • How to Find the TV Refresh Rate

    A television's refresh rate is the rate at which the TV displays the image data fed into it. Higher refresh rates are used to reduce screen blurring and flickering, so you can view a smooth broadcast. You can find the refresh rate in the television's documentation, or on the manufacturer's website. If you are watching a sports game or playing a video game with lots of movement, higher refresh rates reduce jerky or blurred action.

  • How to Find the Pressure Rating for a Propane Tank

    Most travel trailers and campers use liquid propane (LP) tanks to store the compressed gas. This gas is used for heaters, stoves and hot water tanks. Propane tanks have ratings. The pressure rating is known as a hydrostatic rating. When talking of the pressure rating, the actual item to look for is the gallon rating and size. The pressure in the tank changes as the fuel is used. Maximum-gallon ratings keep tanks safe from overfilling at certified propane dealers. Look at the Tank Manufacturers Nameplate to get the pressure ratings, gallon sizes and safety information. No tank may be filled…

  • How to Find Your Workout Heart Rate

    Your workout, or target, heart rate is a figure you can use to ensure that you are getting the appropriate level of exercise. If you exercise hard enough to have your heart rate exceed your workout rate, this could lead to injury and tiring more easily. If you do not reach your target heart rate, you are not getting the most from your exercise that you should. According to the American Heart Association, you should maintain a heart rate between 50 and 85 percent of your maximum heart rate while exercising.

  • How to Find the Optimal Heart Rate for a Workout

    In order to exercise at a safe and effective intensity, it helps to determine your target, or optimal, heart rate for working out. You can find this by using a simple mathematical formula. You can then check to see if you're exercising within the target range by taking your pulse during a workout. According to the American Heart Association, "This approach requires measuring your pulse periodically as you exercise and staying within 50 to 85 percent of your maximum heart rate. This range is called your target heart rate."

  • How to Rate Cigarettes With the Most Nicotine

    Nitoctine content in cigarettes varies. A little research will go a long way when deciding which brands to use based on the nicotine content in cigarettes.

  • How to Find Your Optimal Heart Rate

    Your maximum heart rate often peaks after rigorous exercise, but, in reality, your maximum heart rate should rarely be reached. Instead, you should be exercising at your optimal heart rate, which is about 60 percent of your maximum. Exercising at your optimal heart rate avoids overworking your heart and is a sign that you are in good shape. Calculating your optimal heart rate is simple and allows you to evaluate your workout program.

  • How to Do Interval Training

    To do interval training, push muscles and heart rate to the max and then spend equal time recovering. Find out how to do interval training with expert tips from a fitness instructor in this free video about easy cardiovascular workouts.

  • How to Find Your Training Heart Rate Zone

    It's important when working out, especially if you are working out to lose weight, for it to work. There is no point of going to the gym everyday, or working out at home, if there are no results. One way to get those results is getting your heart rate up and knowing where your heart rate is supposed to be. Here is a trick I learned in kickboxing class that allows you to know how you should feel at your maximum heart rate zone. Once you know what it feels like to have your heart rate at this zone, you'll…
