CULTURAL QA 05-2022-20 BEING A COMPILATION THERE MAY BE ERRORS
Q1 Are humans animals? A1 Ken Saladin Former professor ofhistology (microscopic anatomy) May 13 Yes. If you’re composed of more than one cell, you’re eitheran animal, plant, or fungus. Some of us mightclaim to be a fun guy, but no one claims to be a fungi. Some of us mightvegetate, and some might be undercover plants (informants or spies), but no oneclaims to be a vegetable. In spite of allthat, we’re all stuck here together as members of the Animal Kingdom. My note- We have 6th sense which differentiatehumans from other animals. Probably akingdom humans was not classified. The professorcannot go wrong. Q2 In India, on a railway track on thepole, yellow numbers are written. What do they mean? A2 Subhasis Dutta Roy Working in IndianRailways at Indian Railways (2001–present) 1y I think the questionregarding this plate fixed on the electrical pole beside of Railway track. It represents the distance inkilometres starting from end station. My home station is Burdwan. Burdwan station is at adistance of 96 km from Howrah. Howrah is an end or stating station km denote as“0″.At Burdwan station, this mast number denotes as “96″. For up directionthe numbers are odd and for down direction, numbers are even. At Burdwan station,the up direction railway track mast number written as “96/01” and at same placedown direction railway track mast number written as “96/02”. You can identifythe Railway rack direction by these numbers. If you can see the odd numbersthen you travelling in up direction line. If you see thenumbers written as even then you are travelling in down direction railwaytrack. Normally Railwaytracks towards Delhi is treated as up directions track and tracks come out fromDelhi to different directions are treated as down direction tracks. For train, numbers train to go outward from theiroriginating station having the up train number. These numbers are odd numbersat the end. For example 13151 up SDAH -JAT Express.Travelling at up direction. Trains reachingtowards their originating station having the down train numbers. These numbersare even numbers at the end. For example 13152 down JAT- SDAHE xpress.Travelling at the down direction towards it originating station SDAH. My note- In earlier days when railway electrification wasnot there, telecom wires were erectedon bottom of the pole and top had block and pulley wires for the railway. Theblock system wires were maintained by P and T department. These poles had thenumbers, which is now in electrification poles Q3 How did tiny Britain manage to rulealmost the whole world? A3 Claire Jordan Degree in biology andfolklore; programmer, shop owner, secretary on newspaper Thu By having huge natural resources in coal, timber, steeland fast-moving waterways, and a very mild, productive climate. That meant wedidn’t have to scrabble just to survive but couldlay up supplies and then spend the winter noodling about with new designs forways to use all those lovely resources, so we industrialised before anyoneelse. Then we used the timber to make ships to go and get more and moreluxurious resources - spice, silk, ivory etc. Q4 Why do we assume the first humanswere black? A4 Steven Haddock May 12 These are theBushmen who live in the area around the Kalahari Desert in southwest Africanear modern Botswana. Bushmen have by farthe largest genetic variation of any group of people on earth, as well as thehighest degree of language variation. Bushmen who live within a dozen miles ofeach other (but speak different languages) are less closely related than Australiansare to American Indians. It is clear the ancestors of the Bushmen were the oldestsurviving group of modern humans. We simply assume that their ancestors weresimilar in appearance to them. Q5 Can you use different gauge wires onthe same circuit? Is it completely safe to use? A5 Glenn Riley, PCB Technician atHallmark Electronics UK (2021-present)Answered Apr 11 Yes, you can use different gauge wires on the samecircuit. However, it's important to be aware of theampacity rating of the wire. The ampacity is the maximum amount of current thatthe wire can carry safely. Different gauge wires have different ampacity ratings.For example, a 14-gauge wire has an ampacity rating of 15 amps, while a12-gauge wire has an ampacity rating of 20 amps. That means that if you'reusing 14-gauge wires on a circuit that carries more than 15 amps of current,you're exceeding the safe capacity of the wire and it could overheat and causea fire. It's also worth mentioning that using different gaugewires on the same circuit can create other problems.For example, if you have a 14-gauge wire and a 12-gauge wire connected to thesame terminal on a breaker or fuse, the 12-gauge wire will carry all of thecurrent because it has a higher ampacity rating. That means that the 14-gauge wire will carryvery little current and it could overheat. In general, it'sbest to use the same gauge wire throughout a circuit. That way, you don'thave to worry about exceeding the safe capacity of the wire or creating otherproblems. If you do need to use different gauge wires, make sure you're awareof the ampacity rating of the wire and follow all safety guidelines. Q6 How can l control my blood sugar? A6 Vinay Kumar B.tech from VisvodayaInstitute of Technology and Science (Graduated 2020) May 13 Exerciseregularly. Eat more fiber. Drink more water and stay hydrated. Control stress levels.

Q9 My fasting sugar was 131, but after 2hours of light breakfast it was 330. Why? A9 KARTHIK KKPCSELF EMPLOYED at ISO27001 Lead AuditorMay 13 A fasting bloodsugar level between 100 and 125 mg/dL (5.6 to 6.9 mmol/L) ... My fasting sugarwas 131, but after 2 hours of light breakfast it was 330. When people eat a meal, especially when it containscarbohydrates, it is normal for them to have a temporary spike in their sugarlevel (often known as a post-prandial spike) before theinsulin their body produces immediately starts working to lower the spike. My note- After1.5 hours the blood sugar reading must be below 160. If it is more he hasdiabetics. In this case he has diabetics Q10 What is the highest mountain in theworld? Steven HaddockLL.B.degree, 25 years in litigation, administrative law, collections, bankrupty andprofessional regulation9mo People really don’tunderstand how dominant the Himalayas are. The Himalayas,which is actually a chain of two mountain chains known as the Himalayas and theKarakoram, not only have the highest mountains in the world and the top 10, youhave to go to the 33rd highest mountain in the world to find the highestoutside that chain. And here’s the kicker - the 33rd highest mountain isn’teven far from the Himalaya/Karakoram chain - it’s just to the north of it. In fact, of the 108highest peaks in the world (which is as far as Wikipedia goes) all 108 areeither in the Himalaya/Karakoram chain or in a chain that’s close to it. Noneare entirely outside either Nepal, India, Pakistan or China. All the above QA are from Quora website on 20-05- 2022. Quora answers need not be 100% correct answers . Compiled and posted by R.
