Q2 The question is not answered; why?; I meant why stretched?; An isthmus is
a narrow strip of land that connects two larger landmasses and separates
two bodies of water. This type of isthmus is called a *tombolo* and is
formed as waves and tides slowly build up a sandbar to create a permanent
link between a coastal island (called a tied island) and the mainland.
Isthmus of Panama, connecting North and South America, and the Isthmus of
Suez, connecting Africa and Asia, etc
This tombolo forms the town of Mount Maunganui, on New Zealand's North
Island.; *Isthmuses* The Isthmus of Panama in Panama links
the continents of North and South America, and separates the Pacific and
Atlantic Oceans. The Panama Canal stretches 77 kilometers (48 miles) across
the isthmus, and allows cargo ships to travel from eastern North America to
western North America without having to go around South America.
A *peninsula* is a piece of land that is *almost* surrounded by water
but connected to the mainland (via an isthmus). So a peninsula is often
defined as land surrounded by water on three sides. Both have access by
land , air and water. Most commonly, peninsulas
<https://www.diffen.com/difference/Island_vs_Peninsula> are formed via
rising water levels due to increased temperatures and typically where the
land is at a low elevation. Gradual rise in the water level leads the land
to be surrounded by water on three sides, and develop into a peninsula.
*Isthmus*
The Panama isthmus is a good example of how isthmus is formed. Before this
isthmus was formed North America was separated from South America. A series
of events like shift in the tectonic plates and volcanic eruption caused
the seabed to rise and underwater volcanoes emerged out of the water
forming some sort of solid land. These bit and pieces of land were joined
together by sediments brought from adjoining land of North and South
America. It took millions of years for this Isthmus to come into existence.
Kerala was not in the original land mass movements; later the tides
caused the sand dunes and upheaval of the land formations connecting the
main lands. Also it is like a flask is fused by a tail in a glass piece;
where the maass land moves and crashes due to the blockades, either the
final shape resulted in vertical rise or horizontally impacted as a fuse to
the mainland , surrounded by water. That is why our history says PARASURAMA
was excavated by the Parasu etc. Mexico stretch the tail to USA gateway of
entry (I think there was a Malayalam film was also there I forgot the title
entering USA through); Sri Lanka was connected to India not at this place
but somewhere around the present Orissa; Rama came to Mahendran hills of
Orissa and not of TN. The days were half human and monkey did exist along
with the human in mountains in between Orissa and Andhra Pradesh where the
oldest tribe GONDA lived, whose land mass was called GANDIVANA. Perhaps the
Parasuraman and the Agastya who crossed the Vindhya mountains to the south.
THUS THE AGE OF RAMAYANA GOES TO THE TRETA YUGA.
Tamabola occurs in the natural movements of the land mass; and even
now our land mass is moving which we are not aware; also the space; what
applies to macro applied to the micro also.

Q9 This is ayurvedic based food and medicine the Dhaniya: Use of coriander
in food preparation is famously described as the “tip of the iceberg.” In
Ayurveda, it has been known as ‘Kustumbur’ which means a herb that
alleviates various diseases. Here are just a few of of its benefits.
- Coriander leaves are a powerful natural cleansing agent. Its
antioxidant properties effectively help cleanse heavy metals and toxic
agents from the body—acting as the “clean-up crew” in your body that
counteracts the damaging effects of poor nutrition, pollution, and stress.
- Coriander has eleven components of essential oils, six types of
acids (including ascorbic acid, better known as vitamin C), minerals, and
vitamins.
- Coriander is believed to be antipyretic, diuretic, stimulant,
demulcent, antioxidant and antibiotic.
- Coriander builds up immunity with two great immunity boosting
nutrients —vitamin A and vitamin C.
- Its medicinal properties help treat allergy, burning micturition
(burning sensation while passing urine) and allergic dermatitis.
- Coriander increases the nutritive value of food with the presence
of nutrients like iron, folic acid, and other vitamins like A, B, and K.
- It supports the blood coagulation process and prevents anemia due
to high contents of Vitamin K and iron respectively.
- Some of the acids present in coriander are very effective in
regulating the level of bad cholesterol (LDL) and raising the
level of good
cholesterol (LDL) in blood.
Five Ways to Get More Coriander in Your Daily Diet
1. Sprinkle chopped leaves to zing up your steaming bowl of soup or your
favorite pav-bhaji.
2. Add to your curries and gravies.
3. Make healthy juices or soups.
4. Use powdered coriander seeds in your cooking.
5. Make chutneys and store for daily use in sandwiches or with a meal
as an accompaniment.
Basic Home Remedies
- Diarrhea and Allergies. Soak one teaspoon of coriander seeds in water
overnight. Parboil, strain, and drink.
- Headaches. Apply juice of tender coriander leaves to the forehead.
- Excess menstrual bleeding. Take a concentrated decoction of
coriander seeds with milk.
- Conjunctivitis. Wash eyes regularly with juice of coriander leaves.
Intake of decoction of coriander seeds soothes dry, inflamed eyes.
- Pimples and blackheads. Mix juice of tender leaves with a pinch of
turmeric and apply to face. Let dry and rinse off.
- Skin blisters. Boil one teaspoon of coriander seeds in water, make
a paste and apply to affected area.
- Indigestion. Simmer one teaspoon of coriander seeds in one cup of
water. Cool down. Drink once a day for a week.

Q10 There are 7 billion humans and around 200 billion birds in the
world. That seems like a lot of two-legged animals, but non-human mammals
number around 500 billion and almost all of them are four-legged. And
according to some studies, there might be another 10 trillion reptiles and
amphibians. So the mean number of legs for land vertebrates is very close
to 4 (it’s actually about 3.96). Fish don’t have any legs of course, and
there are another ten trillion of those, so including them brings the
average back down to 2.
But this is only for vertebrates. What if we included invertebrates as
well? We can ignore starfish, octopuses, spiders and centipedes: they have
lots of legs each, but there just aren’t enough of them to affect the
average. But there are an estimated 5 million trillion (5x1018) insects.
And in the sea there are at least 20 times as many copepods – zooplankton
with between 6 and 10 legs each.
Nematodes are mostly microscopic, but they’re multicellular and so count
as animals, and they are found in high densities in virtually every Earth
ecosystem. The 10 billion trillion nematodes in the world drag the mean
number of legs down to less than 0.1, which means that on average, animals
don’t have any legs at all!
Whether scuttling across an ocean floor or a dusty desert, the 10 legs on
the body of a decapod equip it with important survival skills. The foremost
legs are often tipped with grasping pinchers, while the remaining eight are
equipped with specialized feet to help it gain purchase on the rugged
substrate. Ten-legged animals belong exclusively to the arthropod group,
which contains crustaceans and insects. You'll find most -- but not all --
10-legged animals living in the sea. lobster -- including the American
lobster -- have claws on modified front legs for grasping prey and
defending themselves. Other species -- like rock lobsters -- have 10 legs
without the special adaptation. Lobsters eat mollusks, fish, plants, algae
and other matter they find on the ocean floor. Crayfish are close cousins
of the lobster that dwell in freshwater rivers and lakes.
If "Why?" is the first question in science, "Why not?" must be a close
second. Sometimes it's worth thinking about why something does not exist.
Such as a truly three-legged animal. Tracy Thomson, graduate student in the
UC Davis Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences, has been pondering the
non-existence of tripeds. He recently published an essay on it,
"Three-Legged Locomotion and the Constraints on Limb Number: Why Tripeds
Don't Have a Leg to Stand On" in *BioEssays*.
Thomson got the idea after taking a graduate class on evolution with UC
Davis paleontologist Geerat Vermeij, who challenged the students to come up
with a "forbidden phenotype:" an animal or plant that does not and cannot
exist.
Thomson points out that there are lots of animals that use a tripod stance
to rest. Meerkats in an upright stance rest on their tail and rear feet;
woodpeckers use tail feathers to brace themselves against a tree-trunk.
A tripod stance does not require any energy to be stable, Thomson noted.
Unlike, for example, standing upright on two feet, which does require some
muscle work as well as relatively large feet.
Three-limbed movement is less common. Insects, which of course have six
legs, have a mode of movement where their legs move in sets of three: two
legs on one side and one on the opposite side are on the ground, with the
opposite legs moving, at any time. This is called the "alternating tripod"
gait.
Gripping tails and beaks
Many tree-dwelling animals use their tails for additional gripping,
although they may be moving with all four of their limbs as well. Parrots
are quite tripedal, using their strong, flexible beak as an additional grip
to maneuver in tree branches.
Long rear feet make it difficult for kangaroos to "walk" like other
mammals. Instead, they use their strong tail and front limbs to push the
rear feet off the ground and forwards while grazing.
Given that three-limbed movement does seems to work for some animals, why
are there no animals with three legs? That might go back a long, long way,
Thomson said.
"Almost all animals are bilateral," he said. The code for having two sides
to everything seems to have got embedded in our DNA very early in the
evolution of life -- perhaps before appendages like legs, fins or flippers
even evolved. Once that trait for bilateral symmetry was baked in, it was
hard to change.
With our built-in bias to two-handedness, it can be hard to figure out how
a truly three-legged animal would work -- although that has not stopped
science fiction writers from imagining them. Perhaps trilateral life has
evolved on Enceladus or Alpha Centauri (or Mars!) and has as much
difficulty thinking about two-limbed locomotion as we do thinking about
three.
This kind of thought experiment is useful for developing our ideas about
evolution, Thomson said. KR IRS 11922
