CULTURAL QA 10-2022-12 BEING A COMPILATIONTHERE MAY BE ERRORS
Q1 What is leptin deficiency? A1 Ken Saladin, Former professor ofhistology (microscopic anatomy)23h Leptin is a hormone produced by adipose tissue thatsignals the brain on the body’s adiposity (stored fat level). A deficiency of leptin or of the brain’s receptors forit “gives the brain the impression” that the body has too little stored fat,and the brain adjusts one’s metabolism to store more fat (and so, of course,gain body weight). Leptin deficiency orinsensitivity is rare—as of 2010, only 20 cases of this had identifiedworldwide, so one cannot blame one’s weight management problems onleptin deficiency or insensitivity—but when it does occur, it can cause extremeobesity…(Additional details inhis books added are not included here) Q2 Why doesn't a hen fly like a bird? A2 Pamela B. Zohar, MSc Geology +38 yearsexperience in gold mining/exploration Oct 2 Female chickens (hens) can certainly fly. So can malechickens (roosters). However,they are, like their cousins the pheasant, GROUND dwelling birds, and they live(originally lived) in forested (jungle) areas, and while they CAN fly, they donot fly WELL. But anybody who hadchickens (I have had chickens) knows they CAN fly, but they most typically fly low, and shortdistances, and then roost in shrubs or low branching trees, bypreference. They are not long distance flyers,they are not fast flyers, and they prefer to run through underbrush and hide -by preference. But if flight is necessary, they canfly. They are justpretty much darned awfully bad at it. It’s embarrassing. My note- The roosters donated to Bhagavathitemples mostly sit in temple roof, intermittently flying down. Q3 Do people prefer to sit at the back of an airplane insteadof near the front when they travel alone? A3 Ed Allegretti, Owner at Alfred AutoCenter (2009–present)Oct 1 The best back seat story I have is I was traveling solofrom Croatia to the US. I had booked a normal exitrow seat because I like the legroom but some passengers were giving a fuss about my size so Ivolunteered to sit in the back - all the way back - as far away aspossible from the general public. I'm a big dude 6′1″ 280lbs wide shoulders bigdog type guy not mean just big. So I got 3 seats to myself. The rear bathroom was out of orderso no stink. So we take off and they make an announcement no credit card machine so no in-flightpurchases meaning no booze. 12 hours with no liquor ugh I'm notreally liking that but whatever. The f/a sitting in the back says shhh here budyou earned croatian 1st class meaning giving up your seat for the way way backand set a bottle of Bordeaux on the seat. I drank that and he swapped it for a new one.They couldn't sell any wine but I guess gifting some was ok. Dropped off somesnacks too. Most relaxed flight I've taken to date. Nobody walks past you when you're in the last row. AndI'm never in a rush to get off the plane. Q4 How do you clean a mop? A4 Gopala Krishnan, Former AssistantGeneral Manager 1996-2004 at Department of Telecom (1966–2004)Just now I am answeringabout most common mops available in Chennai, India. Every day these types of mopes are dipped inclear water in a plastic basin and cotton portion is well cleaned before use.Then only it is used for cleaning dipping in water for cleaning floor andsurfaces, dipping in water added with cleaning liquid in a bucket. Some use mops which has squeezing arrangement. After moping floorsthey are dipped in clear water kept in a basin and further cleaned and kept. Ifcleaning surfaces, floors are more, atfrequent intervals the cleaning water added with liquid is changed. It isimportant the bucket they keep cleaning liquid added water also is alsocleaned. There are specialmops to clean in airport operated mechanically, semi- automatic mops inhospitals and offices etc. They have special cleaning arrangements for theirmops. Q5 How do I improve my digestion? A5 Ravinder Sharma, Studied Tutor(2008-present) at Kendriya Vidyalaya Fri 1. Chew Liquids, Drink Solids This might throwyou for a loop, but there’s strong logic behind this one. You may think that digestion starts in your gut, but itactually begins the minute you put food or drink into your mouth.Once you do, enzymes in your saliva get to work, initiating the digestionprocess. 2. AvoidDrinking Water with Your Meals Water is anessential part of nutrition, as it’s a part of every metabolic activity in ourbody. Chances are you aren’t getting enough, so you should be drinking more. Just make sureyou’re not drinking it while you’re eating. If you’re used todrinking water every time you eat and you’re looking to improve your digestion naturally,avoiding water with your meals could be a big step for you. 3. GetPlenty Of Fibre It’s commonknowledge that fiber is beneficial for good digestion. Soluble fiber absorbs water and helps add bulk to yourstool. Insoluble fiber acts like a giant toothbrush,helping your digestive tract keep everything moving along Q6 Why are Vishnu temples so grand and majestic unlike ShivaTemples? A6 Balaji Viswanathan, orthodox Hindu whodoes Panchayutana puja everyday.23h Before asking “why”ask if. The questionhas a baseless assumption. Ancient Shiva temples were as grand as Vishnutemples. The UNESCO worldheritage site of Brihadeeswarar in Thanjavur. The massive MeenakshiSundereswarar temple in Madurai. Rameswaram (templewith the longest corridor):Lingaraj: Pashupatinath (oneof the world’s largest temple complexes): Somnath:There are100s more — including Chidambaram, Thiruvannaikaval, Thiruvannamalai etc. In the list of largest Hindu temples, nearly half are Shivatemples. Q7 Before we discovered bacteria, how did medieval peopleexplain how eating raw poultry kills you but cooking it is fine? A7 Peter, History doesn't always repeatherself. Sometimes it just shouts "Why don't you listen to me?" andlets fly with a big stick Sun Medieval people had a very different way of explainingthings, usually it was something like “God said to do this”. This is bigger than the discovery of bacteria,it is the discovery of science. Indeed, the notion that things haveexplanations (other than “God said so”) is one of the key revolutions inthought. As for eating poultry, you can eat raw poultry.although I have not done this. Google duck, chicken, or goose tartare and findrecipes. But I’d be very careful about where the poultry came from and how itwas dealt with after killing. Q8 As a South Indian, which North Indian cities would you liketo live, and why? A8 Aravind Varier, Teacher(2011–present)Fri As a South Indian,I would like to live in the following North Indian cities Rank 1 : Chandigarh I have heard thiscity to be one of the best planned cities in the country and therefore it isobvious for any person to have access to all the basic facilities. Rank 2 : Indore This city isconsidered to be one of the cleanest cities in the country and it is naturalfor any person to be interested to live in a clean city. Next year, I amplanning to visit Indore and will surely visit the Chappan Food Street andtaste all food offered at the 56 food stalls. My note- I have read else Pondichery is one of theold planned city and Pudukkottai nearTanjore followed it. I have worked at Pudukkottai, inter-junctions are verymuch and first time one may confuse about a junction.All the roads are 95%straight at Pudukkottai. Q9 Can you pour concrete over an existing concrete driveway? A9 Joe Mills, B.S. in Civil Engineering,California State University, Chico (Graduated 2021)1h Yes. Largely speaking, you can pour concrete anywhere youwant, whether that’s on existing concrete,gravel/AB, asphalt, dirt, etc. Circumstances and environmental factors dictatewhether or not it’s a good idea. Personally, I’d rather spend the money breaking it outand recompacting/sloping the base and pouring a new pad,but if your original pad is still healthy and you would just like a 6” concretesection instead of 3” (maybe you bought a semi, I have no idea). Reinforcingrebar is obviously needed and I’d probably consider vertical dowels to hold itin place better, but should work fine. Q10 Is Chennai’s sambar overrated (because sambar inHyderabad tastes way better than that of Chennai)? A10 Kanthaswamy Balasubramaniam, Lives inChennai, Tamil Nadu, India Sep 23 Nagarajan Srinivassir may be able to recollect Shanti Vihar in Luz Circle , according to me had the bestSambar. You could smell it from the road. LikewiseAnnapoorna Gowri (shankar) is the second best in Coimbatore Rayar Cafe inMylapore was third Jyoti Vihar in HoChi Minh Sarani , Kolkata was fourth Hyderabad has nocomparison to this Sambar Now Pesarattu?Biryani?Haleem? Yes Hyderabad is asolid challenger (I still rate Madurai higher in Biryani)Not Sambar I have eaten in many joints in Hyderabad but nowherehave i tasted the Sambar like the above four.
