A6 Shyamal Kanti Biswas, Former PCSTECentral Rly at Indian Railways (2017–2019)20h If you are talkingabout Level Crossings,there are no Green signal for the road users. It is Yellow when the gate is open and Red when closedfor the road users. The reason for theYellow signal is to alert the road users to cross the Rly lines carefully. MY NOTE- In the electric train route in Chennai, weobserve many times the green lights andno train comes and changes to yellow andread in a station. PROBABLY this can be due to no scheduled times at that time,and signal appear as per a systematic arrangement. Q7 According to evolution, if ugly mencouldn't attract mates to reproduce, why is it there are still ugly men onearth? A7 Matt Riggsby, MA Archaeology, BostonUniversity Updated Fri “According to evolution, if ugly men couldn'tattract mates to reproduce” I’mma stop youright there. This is a false premise for a number of reasons. First and foremost,human mating is complicated and multifaceted. Physical attractiveness is on thelist of reasons to pick a particular mate, but far more important are thingslike personal affinity, economic and political advantage, familialarrangements, and thedesire to have some mate instead of having none at all. We’d all like toend up with someone pretty, but we’ll be just as happy with someone who makesus laugh, makes us rich, or makes mom get off our back about when we’re givingher grandchildren, and a lot of people will eventually give up the search forMr./Ms. Right and settle for Mr./Ms. Right Now. One need look no farther thanAnna Nicole Smith and her geriatric tycoon husband or any number of notparticularly pretty male rock stars and their model/actress girlfriends andwives to see that one can compensate for a lack of physical attractiveness. If someone doesn’t get a mate,it’s typically because they don’t want one, with a handful falling down onevery possible index of appeal (ugly and an unpleasant personalityand providing no social advantages and demanding to sleep with supermodelsrather than pick a mate from the available pool), some of which are matters ofpersonal choice rather than innate qualities. On top of that, beauty standards are cultural andever-shifting. What’s attractive now is not goingto be so attractive in a century or two and vice versa. The example I usuallygive here is that just in white American culture, we went from dark, boyishflappers like Theda Bara and Clara Bow as our ideals of female beauty in the1920s to busty blonde bombshells like Jayne Mansfield and Marilyn Monroe in the1950s and then athletic supermodels like Cindy Crawford and Christie Brinkleyin the 1980s. What’s ugly vs what’s attractive not only has minimal influenceon the ability to mate, it changes way faster than genetics can keep up. To putit another way, we don’t make ugly and pretty people so much as we decide tochange the definition of ugly and pretty every now and again. So, then, according to evolution, physical attractivenessis a cultural judgement rather than an innate quality,orat least to the extent that it’s innate (for example, there’s a tendency toprefer symmetry and youth, although they’re demonstrably just a couple offactors among a great many), it’s clearly not a major driver of selection.There are ugly people because they are declared ugly, and while that has somesocial ramifications, it’s not meaningful in an evolutionary sense. My note- A good answer. First preference goes tobeauty and attraction betweenthe young man and women. All the remaining including physicallychallenged gets somehow a male/female and get satisfied with what they get. Above beauty thereare many other things which attract a young female/ male between the two like wealth, income, knowledgeetc. Q8 What are the hardest adjustments tomake when visiting Mongolia? A8 Anand Nyamdavaa,5y First thing younotice when you arrive in Mongolia is dryness. Your throat dries up instantly. Keep water nearby, especiallywhen sleeping Altitude- thoughnot as high as Tibet, Ulaanbaatar city is 1300 meter above sea level. Some people suffer light formsof altitude sickness. If you are a cityperson, you will find that darkness in Mongolia is really dark. Its so dark youwill not see your hands 1 mm away from your face. Also, its super quiet. Somewould say its deafening quiet. So combination of super dark and super quiet. Some people find itdifficult the first 1–2 days. This by far is themost difficult thing to adjust. Toilets are rare and far in between. So you would be happy to see eventhese ones. Don’t look down. Its not for the faint hearted…. Q9 What are Indian healthy foods?

Q11 What is costly, making 1 km of anational highway or a railway track? A11 Prashant Tiwari, Indian RailwaysEnthusiast Updated 2y It is exciting toknow whether building 1 km fourlane national highway is costly or 1 km ofrailway track. National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) estimate theaverage cost of building fourlane highways at Rs 8-9 crore per kmand six-lane highways at around Rs 14 crore per km, inclusive of land costs. Whereas Construction of one kilometer of normal railwaytrack costs around 10–14 crores whereasconstruction of one kilometer of high speed railway track will cost Rs 100-140crores. Constructing onekilometre of metro track costs 60–70 crores. Note: Construction cost of both highways and railwaytracks depends on various factors and it may vary time totime and place to place. Q12 Do rivers freeze totally during winter,and if they do, what happens to the aquatic life? A12 David Thomas,Professional Engineer,Civil, Alaska Dec 9 Generallynot, but smaller streams or rivers that do freeze will, yes, kill things likegrown fish that have remain in the water column. Othercritters, their eggs or larva, may survive in the deeper sediments, below thefrost depth. Slamon eggs, forinstance, are buried in “redds” of gravel (otherwise they’d wash away and/or bepredated). As long as there is still some water flow (for dissolvedoxygen) through those deeper gravels, the eggs survive till Spring.Every single ancestor of those salmon, going back for millions of years had theinstincts (or the luck) to pick a gravel bed deep enough or with enough waterflow for the eggs to not freeze in any previous generation. I notice that when we’ve had repeated freezes and thaws,the mosquitos aren’t bad the next year. I suspect that,like meat in the freezer, freezing and thawing once is okay for the eggs andlarva, but that repeated “freezer burn” damages them too much. I returned to alittle lake in the high Sierra Nevada that we’d backpacked to previously and ithad been a lovely place to camp, but had become VERY buggy - mosquitos most annoyingly,but lots of other aquatic insects in the water. The lake was only 6 feet deepand there had been a very cold winter. We theorized that the lake had frozensolid, killing all the trout in it and letting the bugs flourish. It made uswish we’d brought a boy trout and a girl trout to re-establish the fish stockthere as some sportsman or miner did decades previously. All the above QA are from Quora website on 20-11- 2022.
