Q1 Whyis there only one type of human species on earth? A1 ClaireJordan, Degree in biology and folklore; programmer, shop owner, secretary onnewspaper Mon Humans travel a lot. Once we started to journey longdistances, and to build boats, modern man met and interbred with closely related human species such asNeanderthals and absorbed them into the whole. Those we couldn’tinterbreed with we probably killed off, either directly or by competition. After that, the fact that we kept on moving and mixingprevented any human groups from remaining genetically isolated long enough todevelop into separate species.

Q4 Whereshould a water heater expansion tank be installed? A4 DavidThomas, Professional Engineer, Civil, Alaska Apr 21 Adjacent to thewater heater with no pressure-regulating or check valves separating it from thewater heater. Water must move freely in both directions between thewater heater and the expansion tank and a check valve obviously prevents flowin one direction. What isn’t obvious to some people is that a pressureregulator - as some homes have on their incoming water service line - alsofunctions as check valve and can therefore can trap water downstream and allowvery high pressures to develop when cold water that refilled the water heaterbe heated without any water use. In some homes, thewater utility serves as a your expansion tank. Lacking any check valves, back-flow preventers orpressure regulators, the few cups of excess volume simply expands backwardstowards the water service lines, but it would be beyond most homeowners toreliably discern if that is the case at their house.

Q7 Whatcan I learn right now in 10 seconds that will be useful for the rest of mylife? A7 ShaunakBhattacharjeee, Software Engineer | Traveller | Foodie Sat There's a newtype of scam that's going around. A colleague of my dad fell prey to this a few weeksback and just the other day, I saw this being shared on a popular national TVchannel. So I thought of sharing this over here if this saves another personfrom being a victim of this scam. Nowadays,online delivery has become a common thing and these scamsters are takingadvantage of it.There's a delivery guy who would come to your doorstep pretending to have aparcel from Amazon or Flipkart or a similar leading e-commerce site. The orderwould be cash on delivery and they would ask for cash. Now, you haven't placed any orders, so you refuse to take that parcel.The delivery guy says that's not a problem. They call upthe customer care number, who is actually his accomplice, and ask the customerto talk to the person. The guy at the other end, pretending to be fromcustomer care, tellsthe customer that they will cancel your order but they will need a verificationcode sent to your phone. That verification code is nothing but anOTP sent against your card. The moment you share that OTP aka verification code,your bank account will be emptied. The scammer already has your card details and yourmobile number. What they do is, they make an online transaction through yourcard and send an OTP. People are aware of not sharing any kind ofOTP, so they say it's a verification code and gullible people fall prey to itand, in doing so, become a victim to this scam. If such a thing happens to you, simply refuse to takethe order. Never share any OTP or verification code of any manner withanyone. Do share this with your elderly relatives who may not be awareof this scam and might unknowingly share the OTP with the scammer. My note- Ihope this QA is very useful Q8 Howmany days after the expiry date is wheat bread safe to eat? A8 MatsAndersson, B. Sc, M. Sc from Uppsala University Nov 24 Bread isperfectly safe to eat unless there is mould on it. This is unlikely to happenuntil several days after the expiry date, although in moist and hot conditions, it might even happen before the expirydate. Mind you, some mould can look exactly like flourunless you look closely, so do check. I once had aloaf of bread that was perfectly good to eat six weeks after the expiry date. Although tbh, I have never dared to buy that brandagain; they must havefilled it with some dreadful cocktail of chemicals to make it totallyunpalatable to mould. My note- Ingeneral one should purchase a bread, the date of manufacturing is on the same day. 3-4days it can be used.Better after expiry day throw it to waste bin Q9 Whatare the travel opportunities for an Indian railway officer?

Q11 Whydid our ancestors evolve to lose their tails, yet their appendices and otherorgans remained, even though they are seemingly less useful? A11 ClaireJordan, Degree in biology and folklore; programmer, shop owner, secretary onnewspaper Mon Apes lost their tails because early apes werebrachiators (swinging from hand to hand under branches), so tails just got inthe way. And our appendixis actually of some use in the immune and digestive systems. Q12 Whatis the difference between a DNB and an MD doctor? What are the pros and cons ofbeing a DNB doctor, especially in India? A12 PuspenDasgupta, Worked at IPGME&R and SSKM Hospital, Kolkata Updated 11h In practical terms,there is no difference. Both can treat patients equally well and can possess equivalentskills/knowledge. Tillabout 2016, getting teaching jobs in medical colleges was slightly moredifficult for DNB doctors but with the new NMC guidelines, I think thatdifference has also been obliterated. However, itstill remains a choice for every doctor whether to choose DNB or MD/MS, so Iwill list, what Ifeel, are the pros and cons of taking DNB. I hope it will help you make adecision. Pros: No mandatory indemnity bond following post graduation.It takes a lot of years to become a specialist doctor. I do not support forcing anydoctor to work in a place against his/her wishes as it is not likely to benefitanyone. Common final exam all over India conducted by nationalboard of examinations. This ensures there is uniformity in the preparation ofthe Examinees and consequently, DNB doctors have slightly more pan-india acceptance than MD/MS doctors. The exit exam is reputedly more difficult to pass, soknowledge base of DNB doctors tends to be better, although there are manyexceptions to this rule. If taught in a corporate setting or a big hospital,generally treatment follows the latest guidelines and technology, which helps DNB doctors be more up to date with modern practices in comparison withan MD/MS doctor whomight be working in a government medical college in a less developed part ofthe country. Cons: In surgicalbranches, hands-on training is reputedly much worse compared to MS courses. If pursued in a hospital with low patient load,learning how to treat a variety of pathologies would be difficult. Exit exam beingdifficult to pass might cause a lot of added anxiety. To non-medicos andto some old fashioned people, MD/MS is a more familiar postgraduate degree andthat might cause a little bit of awkwardness for DNB doctors in social circles. My note- This DNB slightly above or equal to MD/MS for doctors is a new information to me Q13 Howdo airplanes get from factories to airports? A13 AndrewMcGregor, Performance Measurement Lead at Fastly (company) (2019–present)1h Big airplanes are flown to where the buyer wants them,often by a crew that specialises in doing this (because it mightinvolve longer flights than the plane can normally do, sometimes with extrafuel tanks). Small planes,they might do the same, or they might be partially disassembled, put in acontainer, and shipped just like anything else, to a workshop that can put themback together. The verybiggest, longest range planes, the buyer typically just sends a crew to collectthe new plane. Theycan fly almost anywhere with their normal setup, so it's not any more difficultthan a normal flight. Q14 Doairlines compensate doctors for assisting during an emergency? For example, ifa doctor says that a flight no longer needs to be diverted because of apassenger’s condition, can the doctor get compensation for preventing that? A14 TinyNair, Cardiologist at PRS Hospital, Trivandrum Updated 5y I was flyingDubai to New York in a triple 7. About 3 hours prior to landing there was anemergency call for a doctor in the PA. I wastravelling business, I informed the flight attendant that I am a cardiologist, toreinforce that I have not taken delivery for 2 decades in my practice.I was accompanied to the last row of economy where I found a young white lady with breathingdifficulty. It was a case of acute pulmonary embolism (blood clot going to the lungs).Fortunately she had a small embolism clinically and we started giving heroxygen, putting her on the floor. I was surprised that I was given aStethoscope, a BP apparatus and a medical kit. The attendants were veryhelpful. At that time an FA handed me a sat phone connecting to a doctor at NY.He started interviewingme as to whether I am a doctor of modern medicine, do I carry my registrationcertificate with me etc., I wanted to remind him that no doctor carries withhim a registration paper esp when he is travelling for a holiday with hisdaughter!! Instead, I told him that this is a case of acutepulmonary embolism and threw some complicated medical jargonto convince him that I am really a doctor. Any way we were given preferential early landing at JFK and the 911 team inyellow jackets came and took her away. She survived the flight, Ithink she is ok somewhere reading “Quora”. I was asked to fill up a medical form and hand over mybusiness card. Thats it. No thank you, No nothing. Stood in the longqueue at immigration before I caught my connection to Toronto. A thank you e-mail or an upgrade has NOT come yet inthe last 2 years. May be they are waiting to surprise me on my 60th birthday!!
