  Cooling down - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cooling down is the term used to describe an easy, full-body exercise that will allow the body to slowly transition from an exercise mode to a non-exercise mode.
A cool down can also reduce the effect of delayed onset muscle soreness, which often follows strenuous exercise that the body is not used to.
The final part of the cool down should include a period of stretching that is designed to facilitate and improve flexibility, as the muscles will be very warm at this stage.

 Women's Cooling Down Post-Workout Exercises Stretching Cardio Cool Down After Training
Cooling down after exercise can help return your breathing and heart rate to normal levels, limit feelings of light headedness that you may get when quickly stopping after exercising at a challenging level, and decrease the chance of stiffness or soreness.
To cool down from a good cardio workout, gradually lower your heart rate to between approximately 85 to 95 beats per minute (which is approaching normal resting levels).
If you are exercising with weights, cooling down can be as simple as doing your last set at a very light weight, followed by 5 to 10 minutes of very light cardio.

It is very simple: liquid helium will have a large cooling effect, since the latent heat of vapourization is high (it absorbs a lot of energy in order to boil and form helium gas).
It's not the temperature, it's the heat capacity.
The cooling aspect of He would probably be less than water, since the latent heat of evaporation of He is so low, and it would boil away before getting to the fire, so would not cool the fire directly

 Cooling down a Macbook Pro - The macosxhints Forums
When my Macbook Pro is working hard and its a warm day, and I want to put it on my lap, I've been able to cool it down by ironing it on the bed (on a cotton sheet flat on the bed).
It is usual practice to cool your laptop by allowing air around it, rather than by smothering it in linen.
Of course, this is just allowing the matress on the bed to serve as a kind of heat sink, not cooling by friction.

This contradicts the findings of the climate models upon which the case for global warming is built.
The research into the continents temperature record was motivated by the unexpected coldness of the summers, according to lead author Peter Doran with the Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences at the University of Illinois.
Hamilton accuses the Lavoisier Group of painting the UN’s global warming negotiations as "an elaborate conspiracy in which hundreds of climate scientists have twisted their results to support the ‘climate change theory’ in order to protect their research funding." Sounds plausible to us.

After a decade of warnings that Earth's rapidly warming temperature may result in catastrophic flooding and lethal storms, it now appears that we may be in for global cooling instead.
The study's lead author, limnologist Peter Doran, an expert on the study of fresh water at the University of Illinois at Chicago, is worried about the cooling's impact on the environment.
Doran says cooling temperature is reducing the amount of fresh water feeding into Antarctica's lakes and making the surface ice thicker so plankton that use sunlight for energy are getting less sunlight.

Liu said that personal debt levels in China and other developing countries should be lower than in rich countries, which provided free education, healthcare and pensions, services which most Chinese have to pay for themselves.
Of course, it will go up and down in the short term but if you have an outlook of more than 5 years, I think Shanghai will be in the same league with the other major cities in the world.
