Q1 What are the pros and cons of LEDheadlights in a car? A1 Chris Ebbert I have owned and drivenover a hundred cars. June 14 My two older carshave old halogen lights, and my newer car has LED. The differences I see arethese: LED never seems toburn out, while the halogens go regularly. LED light is whiteor bluish, which makes it a lot easier for me to see at night; the yellowishhue on the older cars sort of bathes everything in the same, gold shade, sothat I sometimes see things much later. LEDs consume a lotless energy, which shows in the fuel consumption. My Pontiac and my Lincolnconsume about a quarter of a liter more per 100 kilometres with the lights on.In the Toyota, I see no difference between lights on or off. I think LEDs rule,and I’m going to convert both my old cars to it eventually. Q2 Why do human beings eat three mealsa day? Is it some kind of standard? Tradition? Was this decided by doctors orcompanies? Is this due to natural processes? A2 Mats Andersson B. Sc, M. Sc fromUppsala University Sun Force of habit. You can easilytrain yourself to have as many or as few meals per day as you find convenient,down to one meal. Three meals per day is just the norm in the Western worldfrom 1850-1900 onwards; there is nothing particularly beneficial about thatarrangement, physiologically. On the other hand,it makes a lot of sense for industrial workers to have a break from work in themiddle of the day. The repetitive and constant nature of the movements you dowill make you tired, increasing the risk of injuries and accidents. A lunchbreak reduced those risks, as do morning and afternoon breaks, which aremandated in most countries. Farmers don’t workto that sort of regular schedule, and no one else is depending on theirconstant output for their work, so they take breaks whenever convenient. Myancestors ate two meals per day up until the early 19th century—and presumablyalso snacks of some kind whenever they felt the need for a break, but thatisn’t as well documented. So the basic answer is just “economics”. Q3 To fill a tank, 25 buckets of wateris required. How many buckets of water will be required to fill the same tank if thecapacity of bucket is reduced to two-fifth of its present? A3 2Answers -Hungenahalli SitaramaraoBadarinath, former CE, Graduate, PG, Research Scholar and Faculty at IndianInstitute of Technology, Roorkee (1964-2000) Answered March 7, 2019.

Q4 I burnt my leg with a curling ironso I applied some Vaseline on it and rapped a bandage around it, but my leg issuper itchy. Why? A4 Bruce Bell Following ClimateChange since 199519h ago It may be becauseit’s healing Or it may be because it’s getting infected. Go see a real doctorinstead of asking a bunch of know-nothing Quorans who have never even seen you. Q5 Why am I well liked but don’t havefriends? When I am around people, I am social but once I leave, I never hearfrom them again. I am always the one to engage. A5 Bhuvana Rameshwar Observe humans Mon This is common with many of us. I'm also like you.People with little self respect realizethis sooner, like me. We are the ones whorun behind relationships because we are happy in life . We ensure friendshipscontinue. We make time for others. For us life is happiness. We call people, wevisit them, we send messages, we wish on bdays, new year and we are the oneswho ensure contacts do not break. I was the one whotirelessly ensured I kept in touch with my school, college and all otherfriends. If I don't contact, visit /call they do not care to check on me. Theydo not care whether I'm dead or alive. After many years if I call or send a friendship daymessage they are very happy and relieved . Their ego gets a pat thanks to me.They wait a whole year for me to contact but they will not message or call.Why? I do not know. But they all talk for hours if I call, reply immediately tomessages etc with no guilt or basic friendship etiquettes. But they taking theinitiative once atleast out four, to call first or message.. It never happens.Why? May be because They think we are not so important, but they are.They think we should keep contact, they needn't. They think we are humble, andsimple (or stupid) enough to keep this relationship going without any ego. Theythink we owe them something in life, not they. Sometimes I stop contacting and the relationshipinvariably breaks. Many of my so called friendships have thus broken. Nobody isbothered. I think they are also too busy with no time for us. Or rather we arenot important in their lives Or the last one holds true We are living agood life. They do not want to see it or hear from us about our good lives lestit upsets them and their bland routine. It is only an “escapism trick “ fromfacing the progress in your life. So meet them when you can, but do not runbehind them as it not worth it. That is why we have many friends, relatives inyoung age but lose many and by oldage have only a handful true friends . Theothers were all fake, time pass and temporary. They envied us all the while,unknown to us. They weren't worth in the first place. Q6 How do I lift water to overheadwater tank 3 floors high without electricity? A6 3Answers Ray Rodgers , B.S. Physics,B.S. Chemical Eng, M.S. Electrical EngAnswered May 5, 2017 Grab a fewfriends and give them some buckets. Or, put amechanical pump system in with a large crank. Then grab a few friends to turnthat crank. If you’re lackingfriends then you can put in a coal furnace with a boiler and steam turbine. Theturbine could connect to the crank directly. 2ND ANSWER Ruben Valenzuela , LaboratoryTechnician at Compton Community College (1994-present) Answered May 5, 2017 You may need somepower from electricity to make it work faster, but it could be done manually with pumps. You putwater in a holding tank about half full. Then close the valve and pump air into tank. Thewater can now flow up a pipe connected to bottom of holding tank by theback-pressure created by compressed air. 3RD ANSWER-Gopala Krishnan, former AssistantGeneral Manager 1996-2004 at Department of Telecom (1966-2004)Answered just now In Kerala, India,slopes are more, So construct a house about 35 feet below the road level. Inthis case the water pipe in the road level , will go up in the third floorwater tank. Water will come automatically to all floors. If the pump stationis very close to your HOUSE flow from Muncipal overhead tank will be with muchpressure and water may go up one floor automatically. I have seen inKerala Pathanamthitta district homes about 10 feet below road connecting pipeline directly to overhead tank Q7 Besidesintelligence, what are humans better at than most other species? A7 Claire Jordan Degree in biology andfolklore; programmer, shop owner, secretary on newspaper August 3 Manual dexterity. Endurance running. Digestingalmost any damn’ thing (although we’re not as good at that one as rats are).Complex language skills (linked to but not quite the same as intelligence). Being good at running, climbing andswimming - many animals do one or two of these as well as or better thanwe can, but it’s unusual to be good at all three (although again, rats….). Full binocular vision and goodcolour vision (we share this with most other primates and birds). Recreationalsex. Q8 What is the right age to introducekids to books? A8 Ramya Annadurai Technical Writer(2007–present) Mon Around 2 yearsold.My son started to learn alphabets and vegetable names when he was 2 yearsold. >From the age of 3,he started reading story books, fairy tales and Tenali Raman >Stories.

His day starts withreading books and he never wants to miss this out. Yesterday, I happened to watch a news of an one and halfyear old baby recognizing vegetables from books. Kids are growing upsmarter nowadays. Get them good books to read every day. Q9 Why is it cruel to eat dogs andcats, but perfectly acceptable for many people to eat pig when they're veryintelligent? A9 Claire Jordan Degree in biology andfolklore; programmer, shop owner, secretary on newspaper Mon The firstconsideration is how they are treated. Dogs and cats raised for slaughter areoften treated very cruelly. Pigssometimes are too, but at least most developed countries at least try to imposegood welfare rules to protect livestock. The secondconsideration is that we’ve raised companion species such as cats and,especially, dogs to trust us and rely on us to a degree that pigs don’t. Youcan make friends with a pig and raise it to love and trust you as a familymember, but if you don’t make that big effort to socialise them, unsocialisedpigs regard us as a potential meal, the same way we do them. So do some feral dogs, but generally speaking dogs and cats come at leastpartially pre-brainwashed and inclined to trust us. It’s the differencebetween murdering your neighbour and murdering your child. To some extentthat’s literal, because we’ve bred dogs and cats to be neotenous - to retainjuvenile behaviours and characteristics into adulthood - to a much greaterextent than we have with most breeds of pig. My note-Certain animal meat are not suited to humans. I think dogs and cats come in that category- read else where. Q10 Inearlier times, older people acted superior to younger people. In today's times,it is the other way round. Why has the pendulum swung from one extreme toanother? A10 Bhuvana Rameshwar Observe humans Tue I find thefollowing the main reasons for this change in the balance 1.Technology aids in getting knowledge instantlyon any subject, so the parents are not considered wiser. They do not needparents advice. People online will suffice. Google gives knowledge in taboosubjects too, conveniently. 2.Salary in hand.. Most youngsters are earning wellsoon after completing their education. Their starting salaries are almost awhopping three or four fold of the parents starting salaries. Too much moneysuddenly on their young hands with self sufficient parents not asking for any! 3.Adult children are not dependent on parents asthey get jobs by 21 years itself. When you are a dependent you are submissive,you behave, you do not act over smart . Once this is not their the voice getslouder, ruder and sometimes has an irritable attitude. 4.Attitude problem.. Adult children think parents arevintage, out dated. A slight arrogance from their part seems to snub gullibleparents. But sometimes parents have the last laugh, though softly. Hereexperience in life does play an important part. 5.Living alone, independently, in far away towns,cities gives them the freedom to do what they want unlike a joint family. Thisapplies to bachelors or young married couples in nuclear families. They thinkthey know it all about the life in big cities compared to parents in smallercities and towns. Here exposure is considered as wisdom by them. This attitudesometimes teaches them some of the best yet cruelest of lessons in life. All these create an illusion of better life, more knowledgeand a superior attitude in youngsters, not knowingthe elders are equally well versed in everything if not more except thetechnology (hard ware, soft ware part). This makes them even dominate theirparents, all until the same is done by their next generation. Q11 do people in Scotland do for aliving? A11 Claire Jordan Degree in biology andfolklore; programmer, shop owner, secretary on newspaper Tue As with England, there isn’t much heavy industry ormining any more. There’s a lot of agriculture and fishing - perhapssurprisingly, given the climate, Scotland is a major producer of soft fruit - and of course wehave the oil industry, and whisky and tweed manufacture, although I don’t thinkthe numbers they employ are all that big. And we have all the regular adminjobs such as financial trading, and a huge tourism industry. But increasingly, Scotland is a world leader in coding andtechnology, especially gaming, robotics,prosthetic limb design and renewable energy. It’s always been a world leader inscientific and medical research, and is currently planning to set up its ownspaceport - although a friend did rather unkindly describe the current state ofplay as "A field inShetland, with a tent. And a balloon." Q12 Is water a solution? If so, then whatare its characteristics?
