Gopala Krishnan, 80, on 03-11-2023.* *Q1 Did Karna involve in lakshagrah?* *A1 Tirumalasetty Sriramsiddhartha, Lives in Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh, India3y* *Purochana was hired by Shakuni.He plotted the death of Pandavas and their mother.* *Karna objected this because firstly, this is a stupid plan.* *Pandavas are not such a fools that Shakuni expects them to be.They are sons of Gods. They cannot be murdered like this. Its ridiculous.* *Secondly, the one and only way to beat Pandavas is in the battlefield.There was no other way.* *At least Karna had some sense about the possible and the impossible.* *Q2 Which is the main causes of kidney failure?* *A2 Gunjan Vasave,Former M.D. in Nephrology at Grant Medical College and Sir Jamshedjee Jeejeebhoy Group of Hospitals (2016–2019)Oct 18* *Kidney failure, also known as end-stage renal disease (ESRD), can have various causes, but the two main types are:* *1. **Acute Kidney Injury (AKI)**: This is a sudden, often reversible form of kidney failure caused by factors like dehydration, severe infection, medication toxicity, or a sudden drop in blood flow to the kidneys. If the underlying cause is treated, the kidneys may recover.* *2. **Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD)**: This is a long-term, progressive condition where the kidneys gradually lose their function over time. The leading causes of CKD include:* *- **Diabetes**: Uncontrolled high blood sugar levels can damage the small blood vessels in the kidneys.* *- **Hypertension (High Blood Pressure)**: Prolonged high blood pressure can strain and weaken the blood vessels in the kidneys.* *- **Glomerulonephritis**: Inflammation of the kidney's filtering units can lead to CKD.* *- **Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD)**: An inherited disorder causing cysts to form in the kidneys, gradually reducing their function.* *- **Autoimmune Diseases**: Conditions like lupus and other autoimmune disorders can affect the kidneys.* *- **Certain Medications**: Prolonged use of certain drugs or pain relievers can lead to kidney damage.* *Additionally, other factors such as smoking, obesity, and a family history of kidney disease can increase the risk of kidney failure. * *Early detection, proper management of underlying conditions, and a healthy lifestyle can help reduce the risk of kidney failure. It's important for individuals at risk to have regular check-ups and consult with healthcare professionals.* *Q3 How do pilots see at night if airplanes don't have front lights?* *A3 Joe Shelton, Author, Pilot (Comm. MEL/SEL/MES/SES, Inst), Aircraft Owner Updated 2y* *How do pilots see at night if airplanes don't have front lights?* *Almost every aircraft has “front lights.” On general aviation aircraft they are typically called “landing lights” — there’s a hint in that name. Airliner’s have them also, but I’m not certain if they are also called landing lights. Airliners typically turn them on below 10,000 feet and most general aviation aircraft turn them on whenever they are in flight.* *When in normal flight, other than preparing to land, those lights really only have one purpose, so other aircraft will see them. The principle is the same as used in automobiles — constant on lights.* *There’s another point. A general aviation airplanes landing lights really aren’t that much better than the high beams on a car. If you drive fast enough you can drive faster than they can provide enough light to see anything too far ahead. Airplanes typically fly much faster than cars normally drive. But even more important is that when an airplane is in flight there usually isn’t anything close enough that the lights will actually illuminate. This is true for airliners also.* *So how do pilots see at night? Not by the landing lights (except for landing, taxiing, and taking off).* *There are four things that allow pilots to fly at night.* *Ground illumination — Cities, towns, cars on freeways, etc all provide a diorama-like perspective that the pilots can use to both aviate (fly the airplane) and navigate.* *Moonlight — You might be surprised how well a full moon can illuminate the ground. Even a partially lighted moon can provide perspective for a pilot.* *Starlight — Once again, you might be surprised at the perspective that a clear sky full of starts can provide a pilot flying at night. (And the view can be spectacular!)* *Instrumentation — An aircraft’s instruments that is certified for instrument flight (flying in the clouds) is equally useful for night flight. Sometimes a flight on a dark night is actually more difficult than flying in clouds so a pilot’s proficiency in utilizing an aircraft’s instruments can be critical for a safe flight.* *EDIT:* *I have three night related anecdotes.* * In the mid-1950s returning to Arizona from Pennsylvania with my father, we landed at a small airport in South Eastern Missouri. At night. It was a grass strip and no runway lights. We landed with no problem using just the aircraft’s landing lights.* *In the early 1980s my girlfriend and I were flying at night from San Jose CA to Portland. We landed in Medford, refueled, had dinner, and departed VFR for Portland. I left the landing lights on and during the climb I could see something ahead that disturbed me. So I circled and climbed to the minimum enroute altitude. Have the landing lights on probably kept us from flying into a mountain that was on our route of flight.* *Commuting home from work late one night I flew the instrument approach into my home airport. Except when I reached the Minimum Descent Altitude, not only could I not see the runway lights, but the clouds/fog was so thick that I couldn’t even see the normal familiar glow of the city lights off to my right. Except for the lights within the cabin, it was as dark as anything I have ever seen. The landing lights were even absorbed by the dark. So I flew the missed approach and returned to my departure airport and drove my “airport car” home.* *Q4 What are the unknown facts about ants?* *A4 Ian O'Grady,Studied TV and Film ProductionAug 10* *What happens to an ant when it dies? When the ant dies in the colony, the rest of the Ants will ignore the corpse for up to two days. This is because they don’t realise the Ant is dead. The Ant's corpse will lie there for two days until its corpse starts to decay leaving off a chemical called Oleic acid, which to the other Ants signifies death* *. Once the other Ants get a smell of death, they take the body of the dead Ant and dump it into a pile of other Ant corpses. * *Entomologist Edward Wilson experimented by putting drops of Oleic acid onto a live Ant. Once the other Ants got that smell of death, they attempted to drag the struggling Ant to the Ant graveyard even as he tried to clean the Oleic acid of itself.* *Q5 When a person becomes older, what is his blood pressure generally?* *A5 Teamedical, Experienced Medical Team Updated Oct 2* *As people age, their blood pressure tends to increase, and it is important for them to monitor their levels to ensure their health and safety. High blood pressure, otherwise known as hypertension, has been linked to a variety of serious health concerns, including heart attack and stroke.* *Your blood pressure readings consist of two numbers, which measure the amount of pressure your heart exerts when it pumps blood through your body. * *The top number is your systolic blood pressure (the “high” number). It records the pressure in your arteries when your heart is beating.* * The bottom number is your diastolic blood pressure (the “low” number). It records the pressure in your arteries when your heart is between beats.* *The average blood pressure for adults aged 20-39 years is 120/80 millimeters of mercury (mmHg). However, as we age, our blood pressure naturally begins to rise. In adults aged 40-59 years, the average is around 130/85, and it gradually increases from there. For adults aged 60-79 years, the average is 140/90 mmHg and above, with some people having much higher levels than normal.* *High blood pressure is not something that should be taken lightly. It can be caused by a variety of lifestyle factors, such as being overweight, smoking, having a diet high in salt, and leading a sedentary lifestyle. Therefore, it is important to make changes to your lifestyle to lower your blood pressure. Exercise and maintaining a healthy weight are important to controlling high blood pressure. Eating healthy, low-sodium foods can also help reduce blood pressure.* *If your blood pressure is normal, regular check-ups and screenings are recommended. If your doctor finds that your levels are still high, medications may be prescribed to help you manage your blood pressure.* *It is important for seniors to be aware of their blood pressure and take steps to ensure they are healthy and safe. High blood pressure can lead to serious health concerns, so it’s important to make lifestyle changes and take steps to maintain good health as you age* -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Thatha_Patty" group.
