CULTURAL QA 01202415
Q1 Why can't the Panama Canal just be an open waterway between
the two oceans? Wouldn't the water levels stabilize at some point?
KR We discussed this already once
Q3 My blood sugar was 91 when I went to bed and exactly doubled
to 182 when I got up. Do you have any comments?
KR Repetitive; balancing eating in intervals is a must; or else, fat
conversion from protein inside the layer of the stomach will be dissolved
to increase the sugar level; this happens around 2 AM; and hence the nurse
in the clinic bed will take the sugar reading at 2 AM.
Q4 Why does Earth have 70% water?
KR Andathil ulladhu pindathilum undu; Vedic and Tirumular
verse. What space is in us also; so this repetitive question and answer, is
answered in detail regarding why?
Water in the animal body performs a number of functions: as a
solvent for transportation of nutrients; as a medium for excretion; a means
for heat control; as a lubricant for joints; and for shock absorption. The
human body is about 70% water (not counting the water in body fat, which
varies from person to person). The body needs all this water to function
normally. An individual's total body water can be determined using
flowing-afterglow mass spectrometry (FA-MS) to measure the abundance of
deuterium in breath samples Most of the human body is water, with an
average of roughly 60%. The amount of water in the body can change slightly
with age, sex, and hydration levels. While the average percentage of water
in a person's body is around 60%, the percentage can vary from roughly
45–75%. About 99% of the mass of the human body is made up of six elements:
oxygen, carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, calcium, and phosphorus. Only about
0.85% is composed of another five elements: potassium, sulphur, sodium,
chlorine, and magnesium. All 11 are necessary for life. On average, blood
is 51 percent water. We can calculate this based on the percentage of blood
made up of plasma and the water content of plasma. Normally, blood is 55
percent plasma and 45 percent blood cells and other material These include
the cerebrospinal fluid that bathes the brain and spinal cord, lymph, the
synovial fluid in joints, the pleural fluid in the pleural cavities, the
pericardial fluid in the cardiac sac, the peritoneal fluid in the
peritoneal cavity, and the aqueous humor of the eye. About 75% of the brain
is made up of water. This means that dehydration, even as small as 2%, can
have a negative effect on brain functions. Dehydration and a loss of sodium
and electrolytes can cause acute changes in memory and attention. In a
large study of adults of all ages and both sexes, the adult human body
averaged ~65% water. However, this varied substantially by age, sex, and
adiposity (amount of fat in body composition). The figure for water
fraction by weight in this sample was found to be 58 ±8% water for males
and 48 ±6% for females.
Just 6 feet has all these; and then only balanced; so every
structure in the space ha to balance; not because of angular structure of
the earth is the reason; but only the structure is originally contemplated
only as such, so that the angular structure, the earth gets. Vacuum and
water filled are two system in space catering the required needs. GOD never
plays the dice.
Q5, Can you give me an example of British humour?
My note- I am reading this joke for the first time.
KR I can’t understand any humour in this. Compression in scrotum
cannot cause any head ache but other effects. There are proverbs of
“cutting down the head like''
Q6 What are some funny questions?
KR Good ones
Q8 What’s a historical fact that would shock most people to
find out?
KR Mark Twain is not history but let the west be proud of it. I will
tell you another one from AP.
