CULTURAL QA 04-2023-25 Q1 Whatare some interesting facts you know about animals?
A1 Krishna Kamat, Lives in Hindustan(2000–present)22h The blobfish was elected the ugliest animal in the world.Blobfishlive in deep water just off the ocean floor around southeastern Australia andTasmania. Q2 Canwe use a 1.5 ton and 1.0 ton AC's with a single phase meter only during nights? A2 Gopala Krishnan, Former AssistantGeneral Manager 1996-2004 at Department of Telecom (1966–2004)Just now Even working asingle 1 ton AC may not be possible. It may be tripping when near by homesswitch on their AC. Electricity board will not permit even a “well motor” withsingle phase current. InIndia EB will approve a window AC only with three phase connection. My next home inChennai had only single phase. About an year back, they installed a 1.5 ton AC.EB asked the house owner to apply for three phase connection, then only the ACfunctioned. This isbecause starting current is 12 amps approximately and running current 8 ampsfor an AC unit of 1.5 ton AC. Q3 Whatis the difference between the World Wide Web and the Internet? A3 Digital Services And Products,BusinessConsultant | Digital Marketing Services | IT Guru Apr 11 While many peopleuse the terms "World Wide Web" and "Internet"interchangeably, they actually refer to two different things. Here's a closerlook at the difference between the two: The Internet The internet is avast network of interconnected computers and servers that communicate with oneanother using a standardized set of protocols. It's the infrastructure that allows computers all overthe world to communicate with one another, and it has been around since the1960s. The internet isessentially a network of networks. It's made up of many smaller networks thatare connected to one another, and it allows people to access resources from anycomputer that is connected to the network. These resources can include websites, email, filesharing, and more. The World Wide Web The World Wide Web, or simply the web, is a system ofinterconnected documents and resources that are accessed using the internet.It was created in the late 1980s by Tim Berners-Lee, who was working at CERN,the European Organization for Nuclear Research. The web is essentially a way of organizing information thatis stored on servers all over the world. It allows peopleto access this information using a web browser, which retrieves the informationfrom the server and displays it on the user's screen. While theinternet is the infrastructure that allows computers to communicate with oneanother, the web is the system that allows people to access and shareinformation using the internet. The web is just one of many applications that run on topof the internet, and there are many otherapplications that use the internet for different purposes, such as email, filesharing, and instant messaging. To summarize, theinternet is the underlying infrastructure that allows computers to communicatewith one another, while theWorld Wide Web is a system of interconnected documents that are accessed usingthe internet. While the two are closely related, they are not thesame thing. Q4 Canyou tell about heating of computer to 70 degree C? A4 Well this is were notation would begreat! 70C or 70F If 70F,that's awesome! Your CPU is well in the normalrange of operation and doing just fine. If 70C,well then you either have some demanding background processes or are sufferingfrom overheating. If you are capable and comfortablewith it - clear any and all dust and lint with compressed air, focus on thevents that the CPU blower is housed. You can back upyour data and try to perform a recovery. This will allow you to see if there issome background software causing issues. The next two mostlikely causes are I. Your CPU blower fan is malfunctioning or has failed.This means the hot air is just sitting in the computer causing it to overheat.It will be too be replaced. II. Your thermal paste likely needs replacing.This can be done by you, if you have experience working on computers. I assumebecause of your question that you likely do not. Ifthe laptop isn't that valuable, now is a great time to learn how to take it apart,apply thermal paste, and put it back together. Otherwise just have a localtechnician check it out. Q5 Whatare some mind blowing facts that most people don't know? A5 Krishna Kamat,8h 5G : Fifth-Generation FM : frequency Modulation SIM : Subscriber Identity Module GPS : Global Positioning System USB : Universal Serial Bus Wi-Fi : Wireless Fidelity MOBILE : Modified, Operation, Byte,Integration, Limited, Energy LAPTOP : Lightweight Analytical PlatformTotal Optimized Power COMPUTER : Common Operating MachinePurposely Used for Technological and Educational Research Q6 Whatis the most interesting fact that you know and I don't, but I should? A6 Pallab Roy Chowdhury, Lives inKolkata, West Bengal, India Updated 1y Cholesterol alone, is not linked to heart disease anymore.It's the ratio of omega 6 to omega 3 fatty acids which is linked to heartproblems. More the amount of omega 3- the better the heart. You can die while using an earbud.The postero inferior part of the tympanic membrane is supplied by vagus nerve,and if irritated, can stop your heart. Vegetarians are at a high risk for megaloblastic anemia,while red meat (mutton, beef etc) are at a higher risk of colon cancer.Fish eaters are at a higher risk of mercury poisoning, and chowmein eaters areat a higher risk of developing migraine (due to presence of ajinamata) Your eyes see everything opposite, that is, left is rightand right is left. It's your brain which corrects it later. The first piece ofinformation that is been tabulated in rocks is not some fancy wisdom. It's acollection of few numbers, the trade information and all. Economics is the first thingthat was extensively studied,even before science. A period pain can be worse than a heart attack.Yes that's true. And if someone suffers from endometriosis, it's even worse.But heart attack will be 100% fatal, period pain is not. Cancers can be prevented. And no,not by healthy eating bla bla. We have developed specific methods for it now. Skincolor isn't anywhere related to sun exposure. Youmay temporarily develop tan, but it's never permanent. The number ofmelanocytes per sq cm is constant in all of us. Its the activity of melanosomesthat decide the skin color. You can die of sudden heart attack, even though you arecompletely fit and healthy. It's a medical condition, that is genetic.We call it idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy. There is a diseasewhich makes non eatable items like iron, chalk, dust, mud tasty. We call it pica. Unhygienicplaces have something good linked with it. Just because of it, we will never have any serious hepatitis B infection.Most of these infections are self limiting, that is our body will destroy thevirus on its own. However, in western countries, you will have to spendthousand of dollars for a simple hep B infection. Same goes for asthma. There is apainless way to die. Yes, we have developed it too. I won't name it though. ****Accordingto mental health act 2020, attempt to suicide is not a crime anymore. My note- ***It is a new information to me. Just like primarycolors, there are few primaryphobias in humans. Height, fire, wild animals. These areevolutionary and are embedded in your genes. So, u can't control it. Balancing our body was the first thing our brain mastered.Vestibulocerebellum is the earliest part of the cerebellum, calledarchicerebellum, is concerned with balance of the body. Mothers can crush their baby to death, whilesleeping. This is a very common cause of SIDS (Sudden infant death syndrome). If you are burntalive, then you are most likely to die from inhalation of carbon monoxide andsuffocation that actually getting burnt to crisp. Ever tried to drainan abscess at home? Don't. Draining abscesses requires great skilland appropriate sterility. If done in an improper way, can lead to infectionreaching deeper tissues, causing cellulitis, resulting in amputation ofthat limb or even death. There are 5symptoms of stroke. It can be leant by FAST. F- facial drooping, A - armweakness S- slurred speech, T-time to call an ambulance. You can get a stroke from something as simple as atooth infection. So, don't ignore your dentists. When you were in the womb, it was you who actuallyprovided stem cells to your mother. So the next timeyour mother brags about keeping you for 9 months, you have something to bragabout too. People sitting atthe backseat are at a higher risk of injury than those sitting in the driver'sseat. Circumcision, ifdone at a young age, can prevent from a terrible condition called phimosis. Butif done at a unsterile non hospital condition, can lead to something calledbalanopthitis, which can later turn into cancer. Females feel 2–3 colder than males. They are more likelyto be cold intolerant. Mostly due to hormone estrogen andmore core body temperature The more a country develops, the more there is shift fromcommunicable disease to non communicable. In south Africa,there is High prevalence of ebola virus, a potentially fatal communicabledisease. While in US, obesity, diabetes and hypertension is more prevalent,another potentially life threatening non communicable disease. This phenomenonis called EPIDEMIOLOGICAL SHIFT. Q7 Howcan you get your car radio to work without an antenna? A7 Arthur J. Byrnes,Politics,Technology, and Culture commentator Apr 14 Radio physics is interesting.Any radio, car, or boat, or airplane, or home or even in your pocket needs an antenna of some type. When AM radio was the thing in homes they often used aFerrite Antenna which is basically wire wrapped around an iron rod. These worked finein a home where there is not a lot of electrical noise. A good radio also gave you theoption of an external antenna which could be a long wire hung between 2 treesin the yard, or between the house and a tree or a pole. But a car (ortruck, or boat, or airplane) has issues that you don’t have in a normal homeenvironment. Engines! The normal engineis an Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) which operates using Spark Plugs. The original radiotransmitters like used on the Titanic were “Spark Gap Transmitters”, so the ICEhas 4–12 miniature transmitters which interfere with radio receivers.Eliminating (actually reducing) this noise has been the bane of mobile radioengineers since the first radios were installed in cars. The antenna on acar is out side the metal shell of the car, which acts like a shield to blockthe noise. The metal shieldcreated by the shell of the car is also one of the reasons for an externalantenna, because that same noise shield blocks the incoming radio signal. This is an example of the “Old Style” car antennas whichwere mounted on the front or rear fenders; If you are an AMRadio fan, this is the best car antenna for that radio band, and many peopleinstall them as an after market modification. The “Shark Fin” antenna is the latest compromise that theengineers have designed. In side it hascoils like the ferrite antenna shown above and other electronics, since unlikethe old days, most cars have gps which requires its own special antenna. Inside it lookssimilar to this; This answer hasonly talked about receiving antennas, as transmitting antennas is a much morecomplicated subject. Here you seesomeone who doesn’t really under antennas but thinks they do; Q8 Whatare the interesting or lesser known facts about G. D. Naidu? A8 Ratnakar Sadasyula, Proud to be anIndian22h Coimbatore is often called the Manchester of India, due toit’s factories and industries. Tamil Nadu’s secondlargest city, also called as Kovai, is an Industrial, Technology, Textile hubof the state. And the reasonis one man, often called the “Edison of India”, Gopalswamy Duraiswamy Naidu,aka G.D.Naidu, the man who created the first motor in India. Much like Edison, a school dropout, he was behind manyinventions and also started many industries, playinga vital role in development of the state. He was born onMarch 23, 1893 in Kallangal village near Coimbatore, son of a humble farmerGopalswamy Naidu. Having lost his mother at an early age, he was raised by hisuncle and aunt at the nearby Naayakanpaalayam village, where he grew up undertheir doting care. Atschool, the teacher identified him as a brilliant student, though quitemischevious too. However he could not get along with the strict classroom environment, and dropped out of school, beginning to work on his father’sfarm. It was during his work on the farm, that he developed aninterest in reading, and began to read books on everysubject that interested him. As he grew up, he came to know about a medical company called Park Davis,and managed to finalize a business deal with them of selling pain balms. Healso got married in the meantime to Chellamal. One day he saw aBritisher driving a motorcycle in his village, and desired to own one himself. He went to Coimbatore, for thefirst time in his life, worked in a hotel for 3 years, and managed to savearound 400 Rs. Later he purchased the motorcycle from the British surveyor hehad seen and proudly showed it to his father and wife. He tried his handfor sometime in the cotton business, however with that turning out to be afailure, he decided to stay away from it. It was around this time he met RobertStanz, while looking for a job in auto industry. Robert knowing the potential of Duraiswamy,offered him Rs 4000 and suggested him to invest another 4000 to buy a bus thatcould yield a good profit. He ran hisfirst bus from Pollachi to Palani in 1920, and soon his transport business flourishedin the decade to come, as he rose to become an owner of 70 buses. When hiscompetitors failed to beat him, he invited all of them, and set up United Motor Services(UMS), a joint venture, that soon became aleading transport company. The humble Duraiswamywho had never left his village till the age of 20, now began to tour the world.He made his own camera, through which he captured the images of leaders likeGandhi, Nehru, Netaji Subash Chandra Bose and also covered the funeral ofEngland’s King George V in 1935. He began to learn the latest industrial,business techniques, which he would put to good use. He established National Electric Works in 1939, thatmanufactured the first electric motor in India.It was a completely indigenous product, with all the parts except the ballbearing manufactured in his company. He invented the Rasant razor, that was made at a factorin a German town called Heilbronn, which bought good profits. His inventionsincluded a Refrigerator, Recorder, Mechanical Calculator, a distance adjusterfor film cameras, fruit juice extractor, Coffee Supplier. Heinvented a 2 seater petrol car in 1941, that cost Rs 2000, howevet then BritishGovt did not grant him the licence.It was not just industry, even in agriculture too he created hybrid varietiesof cotton, maize, papaya, banana and coconut. He also deeply researched onSiddha medical system, coming up with his own medicines. The likes of C.V.Raman andM.Visveswarayya visited his farm and were impressed with his work. He developed a goodrapport with many industrialists, political leaders, Govt officials across theworld. In memory of hisfather he constructed a bungalow in Coimbatore called “Gopala Bag”, where hewould spend the rest of his life till his last breath. He firmlybelieved that students needed more hands on experience, than mere academics. And started two premier institutions in 1945,“Sir ArthurHope College of Technology” and “Sir Arthur Hope Polytechnic” named so afterthen Madras Governor. He later gave them to the Govt,and they are now called the Govt College of Technology, and Govt Polytechnic,both leading educational institutions in Coimbatore. He felt that the four year course was not needed,and two years with practical training was more than enough. However his proposal was notaccepted by the Britsh Govt and he resigned as principal. Later in 1946, hestarted Industrial Labour Welfare Association (ILWA), now known as G.D.Naidu Charities, to imparthigher education with an emphasis on practical training for students to getgood employment. G.D.Naidu passed away on January 4, 1974, leaving a vastlegacy in the form of his industries and educational institutions. The G.D.Matriculation Higher SecondarySchool and G.D.Public School in Coimbatore are now run by his descendants. Q9 Wherecan I find the best teacher for anthropology optional at Delhi? A9 Sonika Kumari,UPSC 2021 Rank261; 2019 Rank 610Updated Apr 10 In my opinion, Vijay Sir's anthropology classes are thebest in Delhi for anthropology guidance. His help in myoptional preparation helped me in clearing UPSC CSE 2021 and 2019 with my namein the holy pdf, as well as 64th BPSC CCE mains (announced last month in July2020). My journey with anthropology started in June 2017 with anonline anthropology optional class from Hyderabad.Although it helped me to understand what is anthropology, but I found it'sapproach catering more to students who would want to have a career inanthropology. As aresult, in my first mains in CSE 2018, I struggled in exam hall to writeanswers of anthropology. Didn't get interview call that year, which led me tostart thinking about state PSCs as a back up plan. As my home state isBihar, I chose to give 64th BPSC in December 2018. Cleared it's prelims easily,but when it came to mains I found my optional preparation lacking in manyaspects, and I couldn't afford to lose another mains to it. So I started looking for guidance for anthropology in Delhi,it was then that I came across Vijay Sir's classes. He allowed me toattend some demo classes, after which I decided to join it for BPSC mains atfirst in mid March 2019. With time as UPSC 2019 prelims also came close, I alsoenrolled for UPSC batch in April 2019. Attended his classes till end of April2019, post which I dedicated one full month only for UPSC 2019 prelimspreparation. In mid july (12thto 15th july) my 64th BPSC mains got scheduled and I also cleared UPSC prelims2019. Here in my BPSC examI found Sir's notes to be extremely helpful and to the point. Cut toUPSC mains 2019, in the examination hall I found myself to be at ease with thesubject for which I am very grateful to Sir's guidance. He taught me how to simplify thesubject, to see the linkages between paper 1 and paper 2 of anthropology, to beable to witness anthropology in daily life. Even during 2021mains, (which I wrote for rank improvement) sir's support was the key to get a decent score inmy optional. He provided on phone guidance, along with weekend classes to brushup important topics before mains. His books for bothpaper 1 and 2 of anthropology are very useful and has information in crispformat in simple language to help the subject in a quick manner. I personally even benefitted during my interviewpreparation, where help and support from sir immensely developed my confidence. Optional play amajor role in getting through this exam, and that really helped me in my mainsin 2019 and 2021 to clear this exam. So it's important that we choose our guidewisely. Sir is quite passionate about Anthropology, he seeseverything from the lens of the subject. Recently siralso visited several tribes of Chattisgarh, which is very unique. Hisexperiences of the visit will also help several aspirants in writing betteranswers. I am sharing thelink of Sir's video on his Chattisgarh visit here. It will help many aspirants. Q10 Iam using an old laptop. How can I speed up its performance? A10 Nagen Bhai, Works at Freelancing Updated8y The following MAY help increase the performance of yourLaptop. Software part:- UNINSTALL anythingand everything that you don't use, including those claiming to 'speed up' yoursystem. Go to 'run'(Windows Key+R), type msconfig. Click on the 'Startup' tab and disableeverything apart from what you think is worthy of an automatic startup (e.g. anAntivirus). Go to 'run'-->type prefetch -->press enter --> delete everything you can. o to 'run'-->type %temp%-->press enter --> delete everything you can. Go to 'run'-->type temp-->press enter --> delete everything you can. Repeat step 3, 4and 5 at least once in a month. Defragment yourC:\ drive (or the drive where Windows is installed) and schedule a periodicdefragmentation. Right click on theC:\ drive --> Properties --> Disk Cleanup. Repeat this for Cleanup SystemFiles. Install a registrycleaner (I use Argente Registry Cleaner) and clean the registry. Install a registrydefragmenter (I use Free Registry Defrag from Registry Clean Expert ) and defragment the registry. NEVER installanything FREE (doesn't apply to open source software though), especially thosewhich claim to 'speed up your PC' without knowing what you are doing. Reset your browserto default settings and disable all add-ons/ extensions/ toolbars which youdon't need. If you are having a tough time doing these, simply uninstall thebrowser completely and reinstall it. Install RevoUninstaller Pro (I am using a crack version). Perform all futureuninstallations using this. Increase thepagefile size, keep it at 1.5 times of the system RAM. Hardware Part:- As you are using a64 bit OS, try increasing the RAM. Buy new RAM sticks of higher capacity ifavailable. Replace your harddisk with an SSD. Try to keep your machine cool. Remove unwanted plastics/covers and let it breathe freely. Consider buying a cooling pad. All the above QA are from Quora website on 21-04- 2023. Quora answers need not be 100% correct answers . Compiled and posted by R.
