BEING  A COMPILATION THERE MAY  BE ERRORS 

Q1            I accidentally transferred Rs 9000 to an autowala viaGoogle pay, 
tried to reach him but he has blocked me now. Is there any way Ican get my 
money back?

You will have his Google Pay ID.You can perhaps lodge a complaint with the 
local police station and show youroverpayment. Thepolice would tend to believe 
you because no auto-rikshaw service will cost asmust as ₹9000.With the UPI, you 
may be able to trace his phone number or bank ID.

A2            Narayana Health,Healthfor all. All for health.1y

Just as with any other significant surgery, thebone marrow transplant procedure 
has certain risks that a patient needs to beaware. It is important that 
todiscuss the complications with the doctor so that one is aware of the risks 
incase the procedure fails. Someof the complications that may arise from a bone 
marrow transplant:

Graft versus host disease- this is a condition where the donor’s cellsbegin 
attacking the body.

Graft failure- where the cells that are transplanted don’t produce newblood 
cells, as expected

Cataracts- a cloud-like film forms in the eye lens.

Internal bleeding- will occur in major organs like the brain, lungs, andother 
parts of the body.

Infections

Constant diarrhea and vomiting

Damage to vital organs

Q3            Is it safe to pour hydrochloric acid down my toilet? Lastthing to 
try, then it's a plumber to disassemble.

A3            David Thomas ProfessionalEngineer, Civil, Alaska Apr 28

It’ll be the most potentially dangerous thing you doat home that day. 
Theconcentrated acids that might effective clear a toilet clog are dangerous to 
your skin, nasal passages (if you breath thefumes) and to your eyes should any 
splashes reach them.

The acid won’t damage the ceramic portions of the toilet bowl but couldcorrode 
any metal drain piping (cast iron was used in houses before ABS becamecommon in 
the 1970s and 1980s and I continue to use cast iron in a fewlocations where I 
want the toilet flushing noise to be less evident in otherrooms of the house).

If there is some slow drainage,then returning to toilet after the acid has 
mostly drained and diluting it withmore water would be helpful before the 
plumber comes so they’re not dealingwith a corrosive acidsduring their work. If 
it isn’t draining at all, they’ll have to deal withremoving that acid safely 
before starting their work, likely not be amused andcertainly charge you for 
their additional time.

Caustic drain cleaners containinghydroxides (Drano Liquid Plumber) are 
effective against hair and grease and aremore readily available (at the grocery 
store) and somewhat safer to use than concentrated acids.

But they won’t dissolve cotton clothing like astrong acid eventually might. 
Nothing dissolve a child’s plastic toy which isoften what creates a difficult 
toilet blockage.

Q4            Can we take an airport ticket like a platform ticket tosee them 
off?

A4            Arun Visvanathan Livesin Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India May 1

Once upon a time you could. You could purchase a ticket to enter the 
concourseand also had access to a balcony from where you could watch planes 
take off andland.

However, though some answers say that it is still allowed in airportslike Kochi 
and Patna, ithasn't been allowed in Chennai for a long time. Now, to enter 
theconcourse you have to show a photo id and your ticket to a policeman at 
thegate who will verify that you are the person travelling. Your farewell 
partywill have to wait outside. To receive a passenger it helps to be 6′2″ 
tall. Ifyou're 5′6″ like me, you have to fight your way through a six deep mob 
to getto the front where you can see and be seen.

Q5            How do goats climb sheer cliffs?

A5            Vasily Najdenko Apr 13

Mountain goats are without adoubt the best climbers in the world. They are not 
afraid of steep slopes, colossal heights. These animals in a few jumpsovercome 
tens of meters of vertical arrays, while feeling absolutely safe.And it's safe 
here because most predators don't get here.

Of course, goats climbing to a height of 1-2 km also have enemies. Goats are 
dragged by eagles, kites and vultures every now andthen. But to repeat such 
tricks is beyond the power of otherterrestrial predators.

Thus, nature took care of thehorned inhabitants of the mountains of Asia, 
Europe and Africa. But to jump on centimeter ledges, you need to havea special 
body structure. Therefore, mountain goats have a completely unusual 
hoofarrangement.

They are forked. Each"finger" is a narrow independent part of the hoof. The top 
of the sole is solid, and the bottom lookslike a flexible pad. It takes the 
form of stones, other surfaces, as ifsticking to them. The pads never get 
rough, because they are renewed throughoutlife.

The animals have a specialmethod of movement. If it is not possible to gain a 
foothold on the rock, thegoats continue to jump until they take a stable 
position. Of course, such dexterity comes with months oftraining. The first 
ascents of the goats begin to make in infancy. Graduallytheir muscles get 
stronger, and in adulthood they can run away from predatorsright down the 
slopes at a decent speed.

Mountain goats feed on grassgrowing right in the clefts of rocks. At this time, 
they steadily rest their 4 feet on the ledges, even if itseems that they are 
not there.

The horned also rest right onthe tops of the mountains, with their legs tucked 
under them. The goats simply need rest, as they moveconsiderable distances 
during the day to eat properly. After all, there is verysparse vegetation in 
the rocks, and descending to the ground is fraught with ameeting with a wolf or 
a snow leopard
