CULTURALQA 07-2023-18A Q1 What is the total cost of installingBSNL FTTH broadband and how long it will take for them to install it afterapplying online?
A1 Jeyapaul Paul, Former DGM BSNL(Retired) at Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) (1975–2014)3y That depends uponthe plan you choose. Say599, 699, 859 etc. The initial charges are one month plan depositwhich is refundable or adjustable and the cost of OLTE (optical line terminalequipment) which is equivalent to broadband modem. The cost of the equipment is Rs. 2500/- and hencethe total expenditure is around Rs. 3100 to 3350. The connection isprovided by the third party( franchisee) and not by BSNL in many places.Normally the third party is the local cable operator in your area. Theinstallation will be completed within 2 days depending on the availability ofU/G or overhead optical fibre in yourlocality. No separate charges for installation and it is free.Apart from your data / internet connection you will get a voice telephonefacility for which **you need not pay anything.The calls made from this telephone are completely free to any network withinIndia. Only thing, to avail this telephone facility you must have yourtelephone instrument. You can purchasesuch land line telephone instrument anywhere from the market or from BSNL. Thecost of instrument is Rs. 400/- onwards with or without caller I'd. Comparing any network the speechquality is much superior in BSNL FTTH connection. Further theInternet connection is **interruptionfree. You can connect WiFi or LAN or both. My note- I took Bharath fibre before a few monthswhen my local cable connection was fully damaged beyond repair by Highwayspeople. I paid Rs 2800-00 for modem with warranty. I selected the lowest plan. Howeverinterruption occurs. Five days back thefibre was cut by EB staff and restored only on Sunday. All my fourparalleled connections existedbefore work efficiently. Franchisee made some strapping in the distributionboox. Being a previousemploy ofBSNL the rental is collected in the monthly bill approximately 250-00 rupees . I have no strength to argue with Mr Rajaram regarding parallel connections. Q3 What are the eight Things you shouldnever stop doing no matter how old you're A3 Elia Juniana, May3 Never stoplearning.

Q5 Which was the preferred wood to buildships of the line in the age of sail? A5 Rebecca Williams, knows about boats andships ,Jul 13 According tovarious sources, the most common and preferred wood for the ship’s structurewas oak in its variousforms. Oak was valued for its longevity, strength, size, and its propensity togrow into large enough usable curves. Oak was also resistant to water absorption and decay. Oak was not always readily available, especially incountries that lacked large forests or had depleted their resources.For example, Britain had to import oak from other countries, such asScandinavia, Russia, or the Baltic states. For spars and masts, which needed long straight logs,another type of wood was sought: pine. Pine was lighterand more flexible than oak and could be found in abundance in the Balticregion. Pine was also easier to work with hand tools and could be usedunseasoned for emergency ships. Pine was more prone to rot and damage by insects than oak. Some countries alsoexperimented with other types of wood, such as tropicalhardwoods. These woods were even stronger and more resistant to the seasand rot than oak or pine. They were also more expensive and difficult toobtain. Different countries had different preferences andconstraints when it came to choosing wood for their ships of the line. Oak and pinewere generally the most widely used and favoured woods for this purpose. Q6 Why didn't the Europeans enslave or atleast attempt to enslave people other than the Africans? A6 Michael B. Programmer at A HealthcareCompany16h They did. The whites kept running away and the nativeskept dying. Slavery is an old institution.It was once considered a rather humane one. Rather than killing all your conquered foes you could insteadenslave them. And this form of slavery was practiced allover the world in antiquity. In fact, it was so common and unremarkablethat the Old Testamentcontains laws governing the treatment of slaves. The early Christians considered slavery a barbaric andpagan institution. By the MiddleAges slavery had become outlawed in Europe. It was instead replaced withserfdom. Which is almost completely identical except that you can’t sell aserf. Just the land they live on. When the Europeans conquered America they convenientlyforgot the religious prohibitions on slavery and attempted to enslave theNative Americans. They ran into two problems. Thefirst is that the Americas were currently undergoing a mass extinction event asa result of every single plague to ever hit Eurasia hitting all at once. So their slaves kept dying. And the 2nd is that the European colonies represented asmall foothold into the Americas. So a crafty slave could simplyescape. Maybe not to their original tribe, but to at least a neighboringone. Then they attempted to enslave white people. They called it“indentured servitude”. A poor person would bookpassage to America on credit, or a criminal would be sent as punishment. Onarrival their contract would be purchased by a landowner, and they would belegally obligated to work for them for X number of years to pay their passageoff. But a white personcould just run away and start a new life in another colony under an assumedname. And even if they didn’tindentured servitude was temporary. Then someone hit on the idea of taking slaves from Africa.At the time Europeans couldn’t really survive in sub-Saharan Africa. We hadn’tinvented a cure for Malaria yet. But Africa was politically fragmented,technologically backwards, and had a culture that already practiced slavery. Thus emerged the triangular trade.Raw materials would be shipped from the Americas to Europe. Manufactured goods,such as guns, would be shipped to Africa, where they would be exchanged forslaves. And those slaves would be shipped to America. The end result was even further destabilization of Africaas those tribes that did business with the Europeans now had even moreincentive to take slaves, and even better tools to do it with. But the Africans made for perfect slaves. They had beenexposed to all the same diseases as Europeans. They wereimmediately identifiable, at least for the first few generations. And it’s notlike they could run away across an ocean. Mind you, “perfect slave” is relative.Also, we’re apparently finally getting a Robert Smalls movie, so cross that offthe list of things I can complain about. Q7 If you fell from a high-altitude planeinto a mountain of pillows, would you survive? A7 Gaurav Gupta,3h Once, a bomber pilot jumped out of his plane instead ofburning with it. He had no parachute and fell tothe ground, it was winter and he landed in the forest, his fall was cushionedby several branches as he continued his way to the ground. He suffered some injuries, butwas taken prisoner and the officer in charge wrote a note of testimony of hisprowess and gave it to him, as proof of his incredible act of survival. So, yes. Ifyou have a mountain of pillows to cushion your fall, there's a good chanceyou'll survive. I wouldn't try, because you mightas well land in the wrong place.
