Q1 Iseating rice equivalent to eating sugar? A1 Lucia Garcia Worked at Hospitals11h Cooked rice is far more nutritious than sugar, and it isalso much lower in carbohydrates and calories. Raw rice is ahigh-calorie, high-carbohydrate food. 100 grams of raw rice contains 70 gramsof carbohydrates and 340 calories. However, cooked rice is significantly lower in carbs andcalories due to the large amount of water added during the cooking process. 100 grams of cookedrice is 60 to 70 percent water, contains only 25 grams of carb and 116calories. Most importantly,in addition to carbs, rice also contains protein, dietary fiber, B vitamins,and minerals such as calcium, iron, potassium, and phosphorus. Sugar is extracted from sugar beets or sugar cane, and itconsists of 50% glucose and 50% fructose. 100 grams of sugarhas a whopping 380 calories. However, Apart from Calories, Sugar Does Not HaveAny Other Nutrients. Unlike glucose,fructose cannot be directly absorbed and utilized by the body, but istransported to the liver.

Q4 Whatare some interesting facts about type 2 diabetes? A4 Mark Marote Electronic Engineer atElectronic Engineer (2000–present)Jun 14 What is the diabetes? Diabetes is achronic disease that leads to too much sugar (glucose) in the blood, because the body cannot break down sugar normally. Generally about diabetes. The scientific namefor diabetes is diabetes mellitus. Diabetes is a metabolic disorder characterized by high blood sugar levels,caused by too little insulin in the blood orabnormal levels of insulin in the blood. There are three main types of diabetes. Type 1 This type of diabetesdevelops when most or all of the insulin-producing cells in the pancreas aredestroyed, resulting in severe insulin deficiency. The disease is most commonin childhood or adolescence, but people can get it later. Type 2 The pancreas produces insulin but its activity issignificantly reduced. Initially, the body seeks tocorrect this defect by increasing insulin production beyond normal, to maintainbalance. After a few years, the pancreas gives in,insulin production decreases, and as a result, blood sugar rises.Therefore, this slowly progressive disease is often present for many yearsbefore being diagnosed. In the vast majority of cases, the main cause is genetic inheritance. Lifestyle,being overweight, diet and inactivity can accelerate the activation of geneticfactors. The main riskfactors for type 2 diabetes are Havingfamily members with diabetes, Havingdiabetes during pregnancy, Beingoverweight, have high blood pressure. Having atherosclerosis (for example,coronary artery disease)and Havinghigh levels of blood fats (cholesterol and triglycerides) type 3 Gestational diabetes The disease oftenoccurs in the second half of pregnancy. The woman still makes insulin, but itdoesn't work as well as it did before she got pregnant. Diet and exercise areimportant for the developing fetus, and insulin often needs to be added totreatment to keep blood sugar levels within normal limits. The main symptomsof diabetes are thirst frequent urination , fatigue , anorexia and weight loss , itching around the genitals and skin and mucosal infections These symptomsapply to all types of diabetes. If a person presents these symptoms, it isadvisable to see a doctor as soon as possible.

Q8 Howdo car manufacturers mass produce hundreds of thousands of car keys in a waythat prevents theft & key-swapping? A8 Loring Chien, Engineer, been takingcare of cars for 46 years Updated 19h Loring Chien, Engineer,been taking care of cars for 46 years Updated 19h In the old days ofmechanical keys there were only somewhere around a dozen or two dozen keys forall the cars made by a manufacturer… many cars used different trunk/door and ignition keys setsthat were randomized so there were hundreds of combinations, But ifyou tried your door key in 25 cars of the same make you had a good chance ofopening two or three. But then your ignition key would most likely not work. So fast forward toremote dongles. With digital locks it is is easy to have a 24 bit code to opena door and start the car giving 4 million codes; a 32 bit code would give overa billion codes.

Why are they on their own rails andeven built if they get stuck in traffic the same way buses do? A10 Nicholas Stone Extensive life long interest in publictransport. Updated Mon The point of trams is they are more efficient, carry morepassengers at greater speed and improve labour productivity.Nevertheless, they are costly to construct - with months or years of streetdisruption. “Luas [Dublintrams] experienced deficits between revenue and operating costs between 2011and 2013. In 2014 Luas operations returned a surplus of €1.94m and this hasincreased each of the last four years to €10.6m in 2018.” Ireland’s NationalTransport Authority's 2019 - Bus and Rail Statistics Trams bring passengers from suburbs into centres.They operate to a timetable, with services provided on an easy to readschematic map. Passengers wait at sheltered tram stops with predictable waitingtimes. When operating at capacity, a tram can carry 400 people -full and standing. While a bus can carry only 80 people.A comparison between Dublin’s buses and trams (the Luas) illustrates the point.Across the network, there are 12 times the number of buses carrying only fourtimes the passengers. Passengers travelling on the Luas, are conveyed acrossthe city at greater speed. The Luas, thenetwork of trams operating across Dublin - the capital city of Ireland. UnlikeDublin buses, the trams are often profitable. Source: Wikipedia. Labour costs are a larger component of public transportoutgoing. A tram driver will be in charge of agreater number of passenger than a bus driver - adding to productivity. Tramsare more efficient with electric traction and sometimes regenerative braking. All of which mayexplain why the Luas in Dublin makes money on daily operational costs, will thebuses do not.
