Q1 How often should asplit type aircon be cleaned? A1 Anonymous Answered Jun30, 2020 Regular cleaning of your AC will help it last longer.

When adequately maintained,it's estimated that most split ductless aircon cleaning last for about 20 years. This is far beyond the 12 to 15 years that mostconventional systems last, so it's fairly safe to assume that your split systemwill last longer than most other options. My note- Split Ac filters arecleaned once a quarter. It is felt Once a fortnight is too early. Q2 Is it true that prunejuice helps you overcome constipation? A2 Lucia Garcia Worked atHospitals12h In European and American countries, prune juice (plums juice) has the reputation of "humanscavenger".Fresh prunejuice can treat constipation and has the special effect of quickly relievingconstipation. Prune juice is rich in insoluble plant fiber and water-soluble naturalpectin fiber, these two substances work together to effectively increase thevolume of stool, stimulate intestinal peristalsis, and promote defecation. In addition, after prune juiceenters the body, it can synthesize xylitol and sorbitol. Xylitol can improve the structure of intestinal flora, promote theproliferation of beneficial bacteria in the intestinal tract and inhibit thegrowth of harmful bacterial, Thus relieve the symptoms of constipation. When sorbitolenters the intestines, it can draw more water into the intestines, which canmake stools looser and easier to expel, promoting healthy bowel movements. Medical experts have conducted a lot of research and experiments on thefunction of prune juice to relieve constipation. Although the explanations aredifferent, the results all prove that prune juice has a unique effect onconstipation relief, which is unmatched by any other food.

A5 Lucia Garcia Worked atHospitals Mon Apples are extremely nutritious, but you can't eat too many apples.The sugar contentof apples is at a medium level, and the sugar content of apples is mainlyfructose.A medium-sized apple is about 3 inches (180 grams) and contains 19grams of sugar. Apples also contain a lot ofdietary fiber, which can slowthe rate at which fructose enters the bloodstream and liver. According to clinical trial analysis, daily intake of 25 grams to 40grams of fructose is completely safe.Fructose is mainly metabolized in theliver. If you consume too much fructose, the excess fructose can easily beconverted into fat, which can cause health problems such as fatty liver, highblood lipids and obesity. Therefore, it is recommended to eat not more than 2 apples a day in orderto limit the intake of fructose. Q6 Do lions stay withtheir parents for life?

Q9 How did the Arabictribes suddenly appear out of nowhere in history and then defeat both thePersian Empire as well as the Roman Empire and then even go into India and takeover their "Empire"? & Indonesia? Did they have guns maybe? A9 Matt Riggsby MAArchaeology, Boston University Feb 15 They didn’t appear “out of nowhere.” Arabs have a long if admittedly slightly obscure history.Theearliest mention of Arabs come from a single depiction of a man on a camel,labeled as an Arab, on a Mesopotamianrelief dating to around 1000 BC. Arabs appear here and there asmiddlemen in long range trade networks and occasional allies and enemies toempires. Some of the most notable include the Nabateans who controlled thelucrative incense trade around southern Arabia and the Red Sea and therebybecame immensely wealthy, building the well-known city of Petra before more orless joining the Roman empire. As for the Muslim expansion ofthe 7th century, it was a combination of factors. One of the important ones was the rise of Islam asa key political as well as religious unifying force. There’s a long history ofmobile nomads quickly forming powerful armies capable of rolling over thesedentary nations around them, though they were mostly Central Asians: Huns,Uighurs, Mongols, and the like. It just happened to be the Arabs’ turn. Just asimportant was the timing. Islam arose just as the Persian and Byzantine empiresconcluded several exhausting and expensive decades of inconclusive wars. Theywere low on money and manpower just when they might need it most. Had either orboth empires been reasonably wealthy, Islam might never have expanded beyondthe Arabian peninsula. As it was, though, there was nobody to stop them. And asthe mostly-but-not-entirely Arab-dominated caliphate expanded, it put Muslimand only coincidentally Arab rulers on a variety of thrones. What they had,then, was a unifyingideology and absurdly good timing. Q10 Why isn’t the steeringwheel in the middle of the car? A10 Steve Baker SeniorSoftware Engineer (2013–present) Feb 10 There are actually a few cars that do that. Several McLaren’s do that. But the general reason is that if the driver sits in the center - thereisn’t enough room to either the right or the left for anyone else to sitcomfortably without making a MUCH wider car. So your typical 4 seater car cannow only seat three - and a 2 seater car becomes a single person car. That’s atough proposition. Q11 What is your favoritetier 2 city? A11 Ratnakar Sadasyula Proudto be an Indian Mon.It happens to be my hometown Vishakapatnam or Vizag as it ispopularly known. If not for anything just the sheer natural beauty, hills onone side, sea on other side. It is one of the most cosmopolitan places in India. I grew up and studiedin schools, that had people from all corners of India. Apart from Telugupeople, you have Odiyas,Bongs, Mallus, Tamilians, North Indians, Punjabis, Gujjus, co existing withoutmuch of a problem. Due to the Eastern Naval Command located here, asalso all many Central Govt undertakings and PSU's, the city had a large numberof migrant population, and is a veritable mini India. It is a place where any one fromIndia can feel at home, irrespective of race, religion or region.And yes migrants here are not beaten up. One of the most abiding images of Vizag is the presence of 3 hillocks located close to eachother, in a radius of around 6 KM. On one of themis a Venkateswara Temple, another hillock contains a Darga, and the third oneRoss Hill contains a church. In effect it also sums up Vizag's ethos ofco-existence and harmony. We have had Sikhs, Muslims, Christians co existingwith Hindus for decades peacefully, without much issues. Still remember ourMuslim family friends bringing us kheer and sewaiya during Ramzan, sharingChristmas cakes with my Christian friends, and they in turn taking part inGanesh Puja, Diwali celebrations. The city to date never has had any communalriots. It is one of the safest places inIndia, crime is relatively low compared to other metros or cities. You can hang out till midnight without beingworried about being mugged. And it is pretty much a safe place for women too. Want to hang out during a weekend, you do not need to plan much, justhead to the Ramakrishna Beach, where you can just laze around, have the chaat,or head to one of the fruit juice stalls. And apart from Ramakrishna Beach,you can also check out the Rushikonda, Lawson's Bay Beaches, be careful though,it is risky to go for swimming, underwater currents can be quite dangerous. And the Beach Road itself has a whole lot of sights to see. An excellent Kali Mata Mandir, intypical Bengali style. One of the more prominent Ramakrishna Maths Submarine Museum,only one of it’s kind in India Aircraft Museum -Not to mention beautiful parks like VUDA Park-TennetiPark with an awesome view of the Bay of Bengal You could also go up to the Kailashgiri Hill and have a great view of the city duringnight time. You have the Dolphin’sNose, basically a large hill getting it’s name from the shape. Itforms the entrance to Vizag Port, and is one of the city’s iconic landmarks.Andyou get an equally awesome view of the city and Bay of Bengal from there. Vuda City Central Park, thiswas actually the old prison area in the city, that was shifted out later. Now a magical wonderland at night, with awesome fountains. And if you have a longer weekend, you have a plethora of options. Take the railtrip to Araku Valley, passes through some really long tunnels.Orvisit the Borra caves. Check out Bhimilibeach, and all the quaint Dutch monuments there. And you have a whole lot of temples, mosques, churches, gurudwaras wheneveryou need to find some solace and faith. The city also has a good number ofmovie theaters, multiplexes and malls, showing the latest Telugu, English,Hindi movies. And no Vizag isnot just fun and frolic, it is one of the 13 major ports in India, 2nd largestin terms of cargo handled. And this port is a vital point of exportfor the mines in Southern Odisha, Chattisgarh and north eastern part of AndhraPradesh. It is also the HQ of theEastern Naval Command,making it strategically important. The city was one of the main targets forPakistan during the 1971 War. Vizag is also one of the majorindustrial centers in India,with a whole lot of PSU giants located here. The Vizag Steel Plant builtwith German- Sovietcollaboration, one of the major integrated steel plants in India. HPCL Refinery Hindustan Shipyard Ltd- Hindustan Zinc, now part of VedantaGroup BHEL The best thing about Vizag is that it offers you a relaxed, laidbacklifestyle, with all the advantages of a big city, good schools, hospitals,entertainment options. And add to it a peaceful atmosphere and a spirit of coexistence. Q12 Everyone knows there aretwo types of people in the world. What are they? A12 Krishna Suryakanth Updated9mo Have a look at this 3 seater sofa. Thereare two kinds of people. People whosit in corner of the sofa. People whosit in the center of the sofa. Where a person sits on sofa (NOT IN HOME SOFA) helps to determine a roughidea of what kind of a personality he has. People who sit in center areusually confident and make friends easily. People whosit in corners are sensitive and are kind of introverts. Mind you,being sensitive is not a bad thing. A sensitive person is aware of surroundingand is the first one to react to the threat. Obviously, this is not physics. Nothing is absolute. Just by looking atone aspect we can't conclude a personality. In this case, we need to correlatewith sitting posture and other things such as mood of the person. If you are attending jobsinterviews, try sitting in center with straight back bone. Look into the eyes. A little smile on face. Talkless but talk precisely. Leave the room with a confident walk. They usually don't select you onthe basis of what you spoke, they select you on the basis what you made themfeel for instance,confidence, mutual respect, clear mind, punctual, good ears, obedience,discipline, capacity to deal hard times, etc. Edit: Some are saying I sit in corner because if the other person comeshe can sit on other corner. The distance is maintained.Some are saying I will sit in centerbecause I want to spread. Some are saying I sit in coroner because I want to use armrest. Why do these people havedifferent reasons? Because they have different personalities. One is giving priority for privacy. The other isokay with having strangers sitting on either side of him. Rest of the peoplewant to rely on armrest, that is looking for comfort, safe zone. Did you see? The difference in thinking is the difference in personalities.Andsome still believe where we sit has nothing to do with our personality. Ps: I have clearly mentioned that I am not talking about home sofa. Yet, many people are saying theysleep on Sofa in their homes. Hmmm.. All the above QA are from Quora website on 24-02- 2022.
