CULTURALQA 07-2023-22A Q1 Can you tell seven Rules hard to practice but valuable
A1 Elia Juniana,7h Be aware of yourlimitations. Know when to stop, before it ruins you. Know when to quit. Don’t be open toeverybody. Not everyone is that deserving. Don’t be too quickto criticize or appreciate someone. Never get tooattached to anyone. Maintain a certain sense of distance no matter how closeyou and someone is. Never speak less. Never speak more. Never trust anyoneexcept the family. Respect and listen to your parents because they are the onlyreal well-wishers of you. You don’trequire validation from others to confirm what you believe in, when you knowyou are right. Edit: Try toappreciate other's work. Q2 How many miles can a cargo shiptravel in a day? A2 Rebecca Williams,knows about boatsand ships Jul 10 It depends on several factors, such as the type, size,and propulsion system of the cargo ship, the weather conditions, and the loadcondition of the ship. The average speed of a cargo ship is between 12 to 20 knots(22-37 km/h). Some cargo ships, such as vehicle carriers andcontainer ships, can travel faster than others, such as tankers and dry bulkcarriers. The optimal cruisingspeed for a cargo ship is usually 20-25 knots (37-46 km/h). To calculate howmany miles a cargo ship can travel in a day, we need to multiply the speed of the ship by 24 hours.For example, if a cargo ship has an average speed of 15 knots (28 km/h), it cantravel 360 nautical miles (667 km) in a day. This isonly an estimate and does not account for possible delays or deviations due toweather, traffic, or other factors. The fastest cargo ship in the world is the Emma Maersk, acontainer ship that can reach a top speed of 33 knots (38 mph or 61 km/h) andsustain a speed of 29 knots (33.4 mph or 53.7 km/h).This means that it can travel up to 792 nautical miles (1467 km) in a day. Suchhigh speeds are not economical or environmentally friendly, as they consumemore fuel and emit more greenhouse gases. Most cargo ships prefer to operate atlower speeds to save costs and reduce emissions. Q3 Why don't airplanes have biggerwindows? A3 Erika Fernandez, Experience inAviation Field Jul 7 While it might seemdesirable to have larger windows on airplanes for a better view and naturallight, there are several reasons why airplane windows are generallykept small. Airplanes are designed to maintain their structuralintegrity even under extreme conditions such as high altitude, rapid cabinpressurization, and temperature changes. The windows on an aircraft arepart of the fuselage, and making them larger would weaken the overall structure.The size of the windows is carefully balanced with the structuralrequirements to ensure the aircraft's safety and durability. Larger windowswould disrupt the smooth flow of air over the aircraft's surface, creating dragand reducing efficiency. The smaller size of airplanewindows helps maintain the desired aerodynamic shape, contributing to theaircraft's overall performance. The smaller size of airplane windows helps in preservingcabin pressurization. Larger windows would presentchallenges in maintaining structural integrity and preventing pressure leaks. The current window size allowsfor effective sealing and ensures the cabin remains pressurized at highaltitudes. Airplane windowsare made from special materials that are strong and resistant to impacts, suchas bird strikes or debris. By keeping the windows relatively small, their strength and ability towithstand such incidents are enhanced. Larger windows would increasethe risk of damage from external objects and potentially compromise passengersafety. The windows on airplanes have multiple layers and coatingsthat provide insulation against temperature extremes and help regulate heattransfer. Larger windows would pose challenges inmanaging heat exchange and insulation, potentially affecting passenger comfortand energy efficiency. Some modern aircraft, such as theBoeing 787 Dreamliner, feature larger windows compared to older models. These largerwindows are made possible by advancements in materials and structural design,while still ensuring the necessary strength and safety requirements are met.

A5 Neman Ashraf, Policeconstable(Pakistan) Updated 2y Walking down thestreet, I came across thislittle guy few days ago. He was sitting outside a shop; selling small toylights. Just looking at him I for some reason paused there and looked athim. I could sense, he was literally begging for money in theguise of selling stuff. Still he caught my attentionand kept me thinking for him. After a minute of looking at his impressionstowards every person who passed by and ignored him… I went andleaned and actually sat alongside him. Son, what is theprice of this. I started the conversation. Sir, this one’s for 30, this is for 50 and this…. I’llgive you this for a 100. He said showing me different lighttoys. Okay, nice. I wantto ask you something if you don’t mind. Do you study? Do you go to school? I asked. His facialexpressions changed, suddenly he looked like the bear that is on to a lonesalmon stuck in a puddle. He carefully and very respectfully answered. No, Sir. I don’t. But I’ve taken admission and soon I’llbe going to school. That is why I’m selling toys to come up with necessarytuition fee and money for my uniform and books. He was lying. I knew it themoment he started mustering up that answer. Two decades in Police service. I’ve either questioned orwitnessed interrogations of I don’t know… thousands of people “and by people Imean real life culprits, thugs, thieves, murderers, gangsters, robbers so on andso forth” and those experiences have taught me a lot about identifying peoplewho lie to your face. Obviously this kid stood no chance of foolingme. I remained silentfor a moment, looking at him. Then Itook out my wallet, and gave him 1000 rupees. His eyes werebright and his smile was contented. Indeed, he wasn’t expecting to pull such afast one. I stood up andsaid. Son, I know you are lying to me,and that you do not intend to go to school. But I want to advise you anyway,you should consider it. I understand you have a family that needs you to workin order to earn daily bread and you should keep at it. At the same time, Letme offer you a deal, if you decide to go to school… I promise to take care of your tuition and every otherschool-related expense on monthly basis. How does that sound? His facialimpressions turned innocently pure for the first time. I’m no mentalist but he was forthe first time imagining himself wearing a clean and tidy school uniform,carrying a bag, and going to school in the morning just like all the other kidshe knows in his neighborhood. He looked at me in complete silence. He had no idea ofthe proper response. I don’t blame him. I gave him my phone number. I want you tocontact me, whenever you decide to go to school, I’ll help you. Having said that… Iwalked away. So folks, I want you to look at thisinteraction from two different angles, not only I made a fool out of myself byhanding him quite an amount but also possibly committed for such an educationexpense that I couldn’t possibly afford in the first place. There’s was no hopeof him calling me, he was going to laugh behind my back, spend the money andmost probably keep scamming people. On the other hand, if had he called, I was to be put inan awkward situation to support a child’s education. It is a miracle to endurethrough each month with the meager salary I get being a cop. Then whats with theblunder I made? Anyone would wonder. The answer is, you do not lose hope. You arealive and willing to attract betterment, success and prosperity. But then again whatis hope actually? It is your expectation or desire for “something” to happen.Well, the problem is… the world does not function as per your desires…unless……… you put confidence, understanding and real effort for that very“something” to happen. Then it is a different story! You stand a very goodchance that way. Yes, then that“something” can and will happen for you! That kid hascontacted me, and his enrollment in a school has been done. I asked a very goodfriend of mine from Norway to chip in for the good cause, and it has been allmanaged. Voila! No, hope will notturn you into a super human and break all the worldly barriers for you, butwith effort, intention and belief… you’ll do one heck a good job. ou’ll riseand You’ll shine. Now and again! There are smelling flowers every where. All the above QA are from Quora websiteon 22 -07-2023. Quora answers neednot be 100% correct answers. Compiled and posted by R.
