Q1 Are people working in food factoriesallowed to eat the food for free? For example, can a KitKat factory worker pickup a bar and eat it? If not, is there a punishment? A1 Jon Wisbey, Lives in Bristol, UK(1984–present) Nov 17 I used to work forCadburys in their Keynsham factory near Bristol. Snacking off the line wasn’t allowed, at leastofficially. After all the factory employed around 3500 people at thetime, so if every one of them swiped a couple of Double Deckers or Curly Wurlysa day that could beknocking on 10,000 bars or so, a shedload of chocolate worth a lot of money. Insteadthe factory had a workers shop, which sold the products at very very cheapprices, 1p a bar or thereabout , and as at the time Cadbury owned other companies and brands includingmr Kiplings Cakes, Shwepps soft drinks, Chivers jams etc. all those products were for sale at stupidly low prices as well. In theory snackingoff the line was punishable by a system of warnings and in the end dismissal,but it was never really enforced. Sure, my first week there i scoffed a fewbars, but after that… well I spent a lot of time makingFudge bars, 15,000 of them a day came out off the line and into the packingdepartment, the whole place stank of chocolate, it got into your clothes andhair and you smelt of chocolate. OK my girlfriend loved it, but you gotsick of it, and for the three year I was there before redundancy and joining Maggies Millions mychocolate intake fell to near zero. Q2 How long does blood stay in the heartbefore being pumped out to the rest of the body? A2 Ken Saladin, Former professor ofhistology (microscopic anatomy)23h The moment the ventricles (lower, main chambers) of theheart fill with incoming blood, they begin to contract and expel it with nodelay. The time interval is essentiallyinstantaneous, less than 0.1 sec. It takes about 0.4 sec for theventricles to complete that contraction, cease to pump that load of blood, andbegin to relax and refill. However,the heart never pumps out all the blood it contains. When one is at rest, ittypically ejects only about 54% of the blood in each ventricle.The rest remains behind for that cycle, and mixes with fresh blood whenventricular filling resumes for the next cycle. Therefore, much of the bloodthat remains in the heart on one cycle therefore doesn’t get ejected until thenext contraction about 0.7 sec later (at a resting heart rate). Even then, anygiven RBC may or may not be part of the fraction that gets ejected next. The time one particular RBC remains in the heart is therefore quitevariable in theory. The percentageejected in one heartbeat is called the ejection fraction. During intense exercise, this can rise as high as 90%; in diseasedhearts, it can be less than 50%. Cardiologists canuse a sonography technique called Doppler echocardiography[1] to observe thisblood flow and valve actions and assess degrees of cardiac health orinsufficiency.

A tram in Berlin A tram is what you get when a mommytrain and a daddy bus love each other very much. The resulting offspring has advantages and disadvantagesof both trains and buses. The disadvantages are obvious, it can only run on tracks,this limits their deployment to only areas that have tracks.Adding new line or routing a line around a temporary obstacle (i.e. roadreconstruction) can only be done on existing tracks, or else if you build newtracks. They’re limited by other traffic, although usually not to the sameextent as buses are. Theyusually need electrical infrastructure to move around, although modern designsat least got us rid of overhanging wires. They can’t go veryfast either and have no utility beyond moving people on their daily business. City buses can be used to move large groups of peoplebetween two arbitrary points, if there is a significant event in the city orelse the city needs to be evacuated in an emergency,you can use buses for that role much more easily than you can use trams. Clearly there are very good reasonsto opt for buses rather than trams and most cities will likely need buses inaddition to any tram network as a result. Evacuation of Pripyat, 1986. City buses do what tramscouldn’t Advantages of trams exist too, they just aren’t asobvious. First of all there’s pollution and noise. Buses use an internal combustion engine for themost part, this adds noise and exhaust. Battery buses aren’tcommonplace yet, I expect this advantage will wane with time. The next advantageof the tram is virtually unknown, but takes second place - air pollution fromtires. It turns out amajor pollutant in a city environment are microscopic pieces of rubber thatflake off the many tires and the problem increases with the weight of thevehicle much more rapidly than with their number. A bus may be worse for city air than ten cars (but notfifty cars it hopes to replace). Trams run onsteel wheels and don’t pollute the air nearly as much. Furthermore, trams are asunk cost, so once the city has trams, it will have to work to keep itoperational to justify previous costs, this will add to the quality of publictransport. With buses there is less incentive to do so, so they may face budgetcuts a tram wouldn’t experience. Trams also offer a more comfortable ride than a typical bus does. Trams are whathappen when you really want quality mass transit and aren’t worried aboutgetting the most economically sound solution. They improve the quality of transport at a marginallygreater expense than the most obvious alternative. I personally liketrams better than I do buses, but I can see why many cities opt for busesinstead. Q8 Do you prefer a double kitchen sinkor a single kitchen sink? A8 Anonymous, 2y It depends on the usage. How large the family is and howmany dishes you have for wash at a time. There are various types in double bowl or single bowlkitchen sinks as per the need. Let me explainthem: Single bowl with drain board Sink: if you have asmall kitchen platform, less vessels or dishes at a time, 1–2 people stay athome, this should suffice your need. The drain board ismeant to drain the water directly to sink, and does not accumulate water onplatform, helps keeping the platform clean. Double bowl with drain board sink: Ifyou have a large family more than 4 people, that is lot of vessels/ dishes at atime, double bowl should be a perfect fit. The purpose of two bowls is one is forsoap water or where you keep soaped vessels/ dishes and the other is to washthe soaped vessels. It makes the processfast and effective. You have options in these categories where you can choosewith or without drain board. It also depends onwhat budget you are looking for. There are various materials that comes in sinks that is Stainlesssteel, Granite, natural stone, quartz, copper and way more. If you want thesink to match the kitchen interior and you want to fit your basic need you canhave a look into this Futura kitchen sink website that I came across, they havepretty good range of kitchen sinks. Hope this was helpful. My note- In my kitchen one large size stainless steelsink and in work area another sink of the size is installed. Now I feel the drain board could have been installed in work area. The vessels cleaned are kept on a vesselstray of stainless steel rods with ample space to drain water. But the drain water falls on granite working table and get stained andrequire period cleaning of stains on the granite working table. The purpose of drain board was not properly feltby me at that time. Q9 Can India bring back kohinoor fromEngland? A9 Prasanna Bhalerao, Follows politicsin India1h Let us Indians stop having Mungerilal ke haseen sapne(beautiful day dreams). Whether we like it or not, believe it or not, theBritish claim: The Koh-i-noordiamond passed on from king to king. It was previous owned by Maharaja Daleep Singh of Punjab. It now belongs toEngland because the king gifted it to Queen Victoria. Maharaja DaleepSingh’s claim is itself dubious because Maharaja Ranjit Singh got it as a giftfrom Shuja Shah Durrani. There was no Indiaat that time. Neither there was any Pakistan. The diamond was thus a private propertyand passed on king to king and queen. The diamond isas much Indian as PM Rishi Sunak. My note-I enjoyed the comparison. Q10 What medical advances were due todesperation? A10 Luise, Worked at Own Business Mon It was the first successful cesarean section that we knowof. It was about the year 1500 and the wife of pig castratorJacob Nufer was in labor. She had beenstruggling for the birth of her baby for days now. Thirteen ( I cannot believe that number, buthistory says so ) midwives had been already called to help and none couldcomplete the process. Nufer basicallyknew how to help his wife because he had acquired extensive knowledge andskills through his work. Pig castrators had long performedC-sections on difficult births of animals such as mares, cows, bitches, sheepand sows. They did this tosave the young when it was feared that the mother might die. Midwives were alsofamiliar with this technique, but until the early 16th century, cesareandelivery was allowed only on dead mothers. What we do today-saving the mother'slife at the risk of the baby's death-was strictly forbidden. Jacob was desperate. He finally managed to get urgentpermission from the authorities to perform the procedure on his living wife. He used a razorblade to do the procedure.Mother and child survived. Themother later had five more children born by natural childbirth. This means that Jacob must have been able to sew up theuterus very well. And with hiscourage he saved not only his wife and son, but millions of others later. It always takespeople who have the courage to fight against the existing rules. Otherwise wewon’t go any here. My note- An informative answer for me about the orgin of cecerian operation andbringing out the child safely and keeping mother safe Q11 Who was the first Indian RailwayMinister who resigned due to a train accident?

A12 Areej Musaed, Administrative Analyst atAir and Missile Defence (2020–present) Thu Saudi Arabia surprises every visitor as they step into thecountry. Here’s why: Saudi Arabia is not all desert!Saudi Arabia is a very large country (the size of all the countries in WesternEurope). The southern region is quite green and mountainous andenjoys great weather even in summer (18–25 Celcius). Despite beinggoverned by a monarchy, the Saudi people are ranked the21st happiest nation on earth. This is due to the high living standardsand the fact that each Saudi is entitled to free education (from kindergartenthrough graduate school), free health care and subsidized water and gas prices. Despite being inthe Middle East, Saudi Arabia is ranked the safest country among the G20nations — safer than the US, the UK, France, China and Russia!
