How many km can a man walk a day?

That is entirely up to who is walking. a man in top shape can walk for the entire 24 hour period and cover 100+km in one day. Someone grossly out of shape or just not used to walking would be done after 1-2km.. It all depends on the person , the conditions, the terrain and the load being carried. As an example, the 50km walk can be done in under 4hrs but they are racing , a hiker carrying gear would cover average 25km a day, I do a run and walk combo for about 20km and it takes me 3 hrs but I only go in optimum weather and I wear 10 grams of clothes.. Anyone in decent shape with the right shoes and climate should be able to cover 20km a day..

What percentage of people can run a mile in ten minutes?

Men at the gym typically have their treadmill set to about 7 miles per hour, or 8:30 minutes per mile. They can probably run faster if they try, maybe 8.5 miles per hour if they pushed it. Very few gymrats can run 9 miles per hour, 10 miles per hour is much harder.

The gymrats are usually in better shape than average couch potato: the average man probably can't run a mile at all, or possibly an 11-12 minute mile.

Olympic runners can do < 4:00 minute miles. Champion marathon runners do 4:45 minute miles. A very good, but not professional, marathon runner can do a mile in 5-6 minutes. A good time for a recreational runner in a marathon is 4 hours, which is 9+ minute miles.

30% of the US is obese (30+ pounds overweight) . 200,000+ people a year are so overweight that they have surgery to shrink their stomachs. Like those people on "The Biggest Loser", almost none of them can run a mile. Walking a mile takes 20-30 minutes. Some people can't even do that.

Does fission require many safety features making it expensive to build power plants?

This depends strongly on the reactor design (mostly the moderator material chosen) and the temperature coefficient of reactivity of the design (a positive coefficient is unsafe, a negative coefficient is safe).

Unfortunately most current reactor designs are not inherently safe and do need multiple expensive safety systems that could fail themselves. However many reactor designs that would be inherently safe and need only minimal additional safety systems have been examined, unfortunately almost no money has been made available for development of such reactors.

Which country has the best healthcare?

In 2014 the Netherlands has retained its position at the top of the annual Euro Health Consumer Index (EHCI), which compares healthcare systems in Europe for the fifth year in a row. Each year, the Swedish NGO Health Consumer Powerhouse (HCP) ranks healthcare systems in Europe on 48 indicators, including patients' rights and information, accessibility, prevention and outcomes.

Once again, the Netherlands secured a top position among 36 European countries for the fifth year in a row, scoring 898 of a maximum 1,000 points. In the EU, the Netherlands was followed by Finland, Denmark, and Belgium as the countries with the best healthcare, while Romania, Lithuania and Poland scored the lowest. In an overall comparison in Europe, Switzerland came second with Norway on a third place. The Netherlands has been in the top three countries in each report published since 2005.

On 48 indicators such as patient rights and information, accessibility, prevention and outcomes, the Netherlands secured its top position among 37 European countries for the fifth year in a row. The Netherlands was ranked first in a study in 2009 comparing the health care systems of the United States, Australia, Canada, Germany and New Zealand.

According to the HCP, the Netherlands has 'a chaos system', meaning patients have a great degree of freedom from where to buy their health insurance, to where they get their healthcare service. But the difference between the Netherlands and other countries is that the chaos is managed.

Healthcare decisions are being made in a dialogue between the patients and healthcare professionals.

Though there could be other ways to measure and rank healthcare systems in Europe, "I absolutely welcome this type of ranking as it stimulates discussion on healthcare systems and performance assessment," said Health Commissioner Vytenis Andriukaitis, who was present at the EHCI 2014 launch in Brussels on Tuesday (28 November).

The Lithuanian Commissioner, whose country got the second-lowest place in the survey among EU member states, said that the Commission is interested in seeing more healthcare comparisons so that member states can learn best practices from each other.

The HCP's Arne Björnberg said that his organisation, which has compared health systems for more than a decade, is able to present some striking patterns, for example that treatment results in Europe keep improving despite the financial crisis. For example, survival rates of heart disease stroke and cancer are all increasing, even though there has been much talk about worsening lifestyle factors such as obesity, junk food consumption and sedentary life. Even infant mortality, which the HCP calls the 'most descriptive single indicator', also keeps going down, particularly in the Baltic States, which have been severely affected by the financial crisis. Well-performing health systems make Europe 'politically stable'.

However, there is also a tendency of an increasing equity gap between wealthy and less wealthy countries in the EHCI 2014, with nine Western European countries scoring more than 600 points of the maximum 1,000. These are followed, with some distance, by other affluent countries, such as Austria, France and Sweden. Behind those countries there is a clear visible gap to the next group, from Central Europe and the Mediterranean countries.

What does W with a horizontal line through it indicate?

The letter W with a horizontal line through it indicates a potential hazard of using water to fight a fire involving a particular material that the sign is on.

What is the average reaction time for a drunk driver?

The average reaction time for a drunk driver can be significantly impaired, typically increasing to around 1.5 to 2 times longer than that of a sober driver. While a sober driver's reaction time averages about 0.75 seconds, a drunk driver's time can extend to 1.2 seconds or more, depending on their blood alcohol concentration (BAC). This impairment affects their ability to respond to sudden changes on the road, increasing the risk of accidents.

  • the frequency of the exposure
  • the duration of the exposure
  • luck

Will you get Ebola if you touch public toilet water?

Probably not; not unless somebody with ebola recently pooped in this toilet and forgot to flush. Your chances of catching ebola from the average public toilet in the USA are less than the chances that you will be hit by a meteorite while crossing the street.

That said, there are a great number of more common diseases like cholera that are spread by sewage, but if the toilet is relatively clean and has been flushed recently, you're probably going to be fine.

What are the four aspects of public health?

Public health programs address the social, economic, and environmental factors that affect health. There are 4 major aspects to public health:

  1. Health surveillance - monitoring the health status of the population and providing information for planning, implementing and evaluating health strategies;
  2. Health protection - identifying, reducing and eliminating hazards and risks to the health of individuals in the community, including those posed by communicable diseases and food-borne, drug and environmental hazards;
  3. Disease and injury prevention - providing appropriate information and early intervention services to prevent the onset of disease and injury; and
  4. Health promotion - enabling healthy choices and developing healthy and supportive environments.

Why should you always wash your hands before handling food and after coming from toilet?

That is because fecal matter has germs that can make people sick, and you don't want to spread those germs to food.
