Many exercise variations determine your workout intensity, but the one you need to monitor is your pulse. Your heart rate should be within a certain range for your workout to be effective.

In contrast, when you exercise at too high an intensity level, you probably won't be able to sustain it for long, which also changes the effectiveness of your workout.

Microsoft’s flight simulator FSX introduced active animated airport elements into the game to increase player immersion. Among the new element added was a moving jetway. The jetway is the passenger boarding bridge that extends from the side of the airport to the door of the airplane to allow for passenger boarding without exposure to the surrounding weather. In FSX, the jetways work automatically with included aircraft -- but in order to get the jetways to work with downloaded airplanes, some modification of the configuration files for the airplane is necessary.

Cardboard and kitchen scraps are not the only thing you can recycle. If you live in an area that receives a lot of rain, you can recycle your rainwater, collecting it in barrels or other receptacles.

For small-scale water harvesting, you can use inexpensive food-grade plastic barrels to collect rainwater. If your area receives large amounts of rain on a regular basis, consider installing a more extensive rainwater harvesting system.
The African slave trade is one of the ugliest marks on the history of the Western world. As recently as the 19th century, ships were loading up Africans and sending them across the Atlantic Ocean to serve as slave laborers in the United States and in other countries. Although the West eventually stopped the harvesting of Africa for slave laborers, limited education and resources prevented the peoples of the continent from better protecting themselves and combating the slave trade.
The Unemployment Compensation for Ex-Servicemembers program sets unemployment guidelines for former military personnel. The federal program provides weekly compensation to unemployed veterans seeking suitable employment.

Some former servicemembers receive military benefits after discharge. In some cases, certain benefits render an ex-member ineligible for unemployment compensation.
A storage device, such as a hard disk drive, can be divided into a series of logical partitions, each with its own directory and file allocation table. Under the FAT32 file system, each partition is divided in clusters, each identified by a 32-bit number, or a series of 32 binary digits, or "bits." Each cluster consists of one or more smaller units, known as sectors, depending on the size of the partition.
You can split an RJ45 connection four ways because the category 5 wire connected to the plug has four sets of wires. Technically RJ45 plugs and jacks are used for phone connections, but the same style of connection is used in data applications like Ethernet cabling. However, Ethernet connections require at least two sets of wires, so a network connection could not be successfully split four ways, only a phone connection. Other data applications that use the RJ45 connection and only one set of wires to transmit data can use the splitter.
Building your own pond is a challenging and rewarding project. Concrete block walls allow you to sit on the edge and enjoy your fishy friends.

Rough-sawn lumber is the green lumber sawn from logs and stacked to dry. It's sometimes sold while in the stage between the freshly cut log and the dried, planed and finished boards found at the local hardware store. Rough-sawn lumber is not cut to the exacting standard of finished boards. When you buy a 1-by-8-inch rough-sawn board, it's 1-by-8 inches, not the finished size of 3/4-by-7 1/2 inches. Using rough-sawn boards as siding gives your structure the rustic look of a vintage building.
Employees who separate from their companies may file unemployment insurance claims to collect benefits for a period of time between jobs.
