CULTURAL QA 07-2022-06 BEING ACOMPILATION THERE MAY BE ERRORS
Q1 Why is the life expectancy of peoplein the United States lower than most developed countries? A1 Ernest W. Adams,Lived in The UnitedStates of America (1966–1999)Fri They have universal health care, which means freepre-natal care and health care for children. Many Americans are too poor to take their children to thedoctor, and treatable diseases are caught too late (or never). The United States also has lunatic sectslike the Christian Scientists, who avoid medicine and treat disease as a signof sin. Q2 Are we born with all our bloodcells, or do they make new ones as we need them? A2 Ken Saladin,Former professor ofhistology (microscopic anatomy)Sat Blood cells don’t live very long. The life span of redblood cells is ~120 days. Platelets live for 5 to 10 days. White blood cellshave life spans of 8–13 days (granulocytes: theneutrophils, eosinophils, and basophils), a few years (monocytes–macrophages),and in some cases decades (some lymphocytes: B and T memory cells). But none last for a lifetime, so blood cells have a veryhigh rate of turnover. Every second of every day, we produce more than1,000,000 new red blood cells, about 1,700,000 new white blood cells, and aboutthe latter number of platelets as well. White cellproduction varies a lot with the body’s physiological state—infections,allergies, other immune challenges, menstruation, etc. Q3 What is the absolute daily maximumof carbohydrates a person can consume healthily? A3 Ranndy Smith,Jun 16 How manycarbohydrates do you need? Depending on yourage, gender, activity level, and overall health, your carbohydrate needs willvary. According to theMayo Clinic, 45 to 65 percent of your daily calories should come fromcarbohydrates. That equates to 225 to 325 grams of carbohydrates if you eat2,000 calories a day. So, how many gramsof carbs a day do you really need? It depends on your health goals and bodytype. In a normal,healthy diet, you want carbohydrates to be about 40 percent of your totalcalories - that's what an active person does. You may like :Baobab pancakes with almond butter filling Recipe- Healthy Breakfast When you are busy,about 40 percent of your calories should come from carbs, some 30 percent fromprotein and another 30 percent from fat usually - this has the added benefit ofhelping prevent arteriosclerosis. Some people may consume a large percentage ofhealthy fats if the goal is to be a fat burner. If you are really trying togain muscle, you may need extra grams of protein a day as well. Generally, how many grams of carbohydrates a day youshould eat will be between 500 to 800 calories from carbohydrates, and that isusually about 150 to 200 grams of carbohydrates per day- 200 maximum and low 120, which may be good for many who are trying to reduce.So when you count your carbohydrates, 120 to 200 grams for most people is goodwhen it comes to burning fat and general health. Q4 Is washing machine water good forplants? A4 Dr. Factrox Referred books on botanyand Plant Biology May 31 This is a goodquestion, but unfortunately, it does not have adefinite answer. There are two points to think about before making a decision. Washing machine water contains: Phosphates (Sometimes) that help in the growth of plants Detergents,are toxins and do not aid the growth of plants So, it's better notto take any risks. but if you think the detergent level is too mild, then youmake the go-ahead by experimenting with a few plants. and if that works out,continue for the rest. My note- I have planted coconut tree by the side of sockpit to which bathwater and washingmachine outlet water go. The tree is well growing. Thetree is mainly to absorb water from sockpit. Q5 Will the Empire State Building everbe demolished? A5 Steven Haddock, LL.B. degree, 25years in litigation, administrative law, collections, bankrupty andprofessional regulation19h Probably not. It’s really well built (stainless steel onbrick masonry on structural steel girders) so tearing it down will be prettydamn expensive. It pretty much takes up all theallowable density on its site so it’s not like putting up another building willgive you more rentable space. Its observation deck is still immenselyprofitable even if office rents aren’t moving much lately. It’s in tremendousshape for a 90 year old building and older buildings that high are stillprofitable as well (like the Chrysler Building and the Woolworth Building). Never say never though. New York is also home to some ofthe largest structures that have ever been demolished. Q6 Is a diesel train more powerful thanan electric train? Q6 Jean-Yves Landry, Owner at JYL FarmLLC (2012–present)5h All the most powerful locomotive are electric. Exception for afuel powered train, the most powerful is operating a “turbine”/”Electric” powerplant, not a diesel engine. Russia — GT1s — 11,130 Horsepower All the others are electric. China - Shen-24 at28.8 MW or 38,621 horsepower is the biggest one. Russia - 2ES10S(3ES10) — 17,701 horsepower Russia - 4E5K —17,594 horsepower. Germany — DB Class103 — 9,977 horsepower or 7440 kW. Swedish —Bombardier IORE — 14,483 horsepower Q7 How much profit is there in coconutfarms in South India? A7 Gautham Sampath Knows Tamil Sat It depends onvarious factors. I will answer aboutthe profit what my Uncle gets from his 1 acre farm. Basically I am fromTamil Nadu and my native is near Ambur(Vellore District of Tamil Nadu) thefoothills of Eastern Ghats and coconut farms are common in my region( Thepractise of coconut farms is just bloomed only before 30 to 40 years agobecause the Palar river went dry and before that only paddy and sugarcane wascultivated ). Coconut farming is profitable only if you have good amountof land and the growth of coconuts is good depending upon the soil and thewater( Naturally only some regions in Southern Indiaare good to grow Coconuts like Coastal Kerala and Karnataka, Tumkur region ofKarnataka,Western and Northern districts of Tamil Nadu that has western andeastern Ghats,Godavari-Coastal region of Andhra Pradesh). In our region normally well irrigation is done for coconutfarms(Some regions of Southern India are naturally gifted with rivers)-Ifyou own wells and water is abundant then its good-My Uncle and our relativeshave their own well where they use the water. Some people who don’t have wellshave to buy water on an hourly rate like 100 Rs per hour on the motor run. Again having lands in important- My Uncle just has 1 acreof land and he has 100 trees-This is the maximum amount of coconut trees oneacre of land can hold. Once in 3 months, aVettu is done(Vettu is a Tamil term means harvesting of coconuts) where he sellsof the coconuts for 25K and like this once a year 4 Vettu’s is done-That means he earns only 1 lakhfor 1 acre of farm as of today. He flows the water into the farmtwice a month and also only once a year he uses fertilizers. Coconut farms arenot much prone to diseases. But thesize of the coconut we harvest is smaller when compared to what grows in Keralaor Tumkur of western regionsof Tamil Nadu - Actually coconut farming is good for lazy farmers who don’twant to spend much time in mud but want some profit from the agricultural landthey have. Some of my relatives have 3 or 5 or 7 acres and they alsodo coconut farming! Apart from thecoconut we harvest, farmers sell the the coconut leaves to women or labourersfor weaving ( 1 leaf isjust 1 Rs) and some people sell the leaves for making coconutbroomsticks which again the earning is too low. Some farmers plant Deevana Pill( Cattle Grass) in themiddle if coconut trees and sell it for Cattle owners. Though theinvestment is less, the profit we get depends on the quality of the coconut, thesoil, water and more importantly the area of the farm-Farming is good only ifyou have good amount of land and water other wise its of no use! My note-In Chennai, tender coconut is priced above Rs 50-00 and bigger size coconuts@Rs 30-00 only now. Person climbing a tree has to be paid Rs 100—00 or more pertree.

A9 Claire Jordan,Degree in biology andfolklore; programmer, shop owner, secretary on newspaperJun 19 Basal catarrhinesand both sorts of monkey had tails, but apes lostthem, about 25 million years ago, and we are apes. They may havejust been an inconvenience. Monkeys climb by running along the tops of branchesor grappling them, and use their tails for balance,but apes tend to brachiate (swing underneath the branch by their hands). Havingtails must have made brachiation less efficient. As to why we becamebrachiators, it may be because it enabled apes to get bigger - there’s moreroom below the branches than amongst them. The only really big monkeys live onthe ground and don’t climb much. Q10 Why did dogs become pets and acceptedindoors considering their uncleanliness? A10 Ernest W. Adams,Game designconsultant, author and professor Jun 21 They're not significantly less clean than humans livingin caves or the jungle. The idea that they are uncleanseems to be a Middle Eastern notion because they are scavengers. But humans discovered that they wereuseful because they killed rats, barked at strangers, and could be trained tohelp hunt. If they were dirty, they could be given a bath.
