Eating 1 to 2 cloves of garlic every day canprevent and avoid the risks of various diseases. Q2 What can a landlord do if a tenantis not paying the rent? Can a landlord cut electricity and water supply? A2 PrasannaBhalerao I have some experience in real estatedeals.6h The landlord does not have the right to cutelectricity, water supply or any of the basic life amenities. if the tenant isnot paying rent. The properprocedure is to send notices and then follow a court procedure for eviction.The landlord should hire a lawyer for the same. This procedure can be simple orvery messy. Here are some steps to “do” or “not do” as a landlord (in India): DO Always make arental contract Mention the namesof both parties and identify them with PAN and Aadhar Always mention thestart date and the end date on the contract Articulate the“Terms and conditions” clearly stating what will be the procedure oflitigation Register theagreement at the local property registry with biometrics and witnesses Pay theregistration fee and stamp duty (At least) Three months before the end of thecontract start negotiations and finalising of the new contract DON’T Think that an11-month contract does not need registration (in the state of Maharashtra evena 1-month contract must be registered) Think that meresigning of a paper document is sufficient (in India the court will usually rulein favour of the tenant) Think to save moneyon registration and stamp duty (that will be treated as a tax crime) If you have acontract that is registered, you will find that litigation and tenant evictionis easy. Otherwise the penny will drop either side. Q3 Why are steel rebars more suitablethan copper in concrete structures? A3 DavidThomas Sat Mostly because steel is stronger and cheaper than copper.Also, steel’s coefficient of thermal expansion is closer to that of concrete,so temperature swings induce less stress on the concrete-steel bond thanconcrete-copper would. Copper would, however, offer more corrosion resistancein most settings. Epoxy-coatedsteel is used in coastal settings in an attempt to address that downside ofsteel reinforcement. Q4 What's the difference between 'Puri'and 'Chole Batura'? A4 BhuvanaRameshwar Smart cook, not hardworking Sun Puris and bhaturesare both Indian favourites. Fried in oil, round in shape and very tasty. Let's see the differences.. Puris.. Dough madeof wheat flour mixed with little oil and salt. The dough is let to stand forhalf an hour or more before making or kneaded well. Smaller in size,usually 8 inches or smaller. Pani puri is its little sister with mashed potatoas a pair Usually had withpotato masala, potato fry, suji halwas or scrambled eggs. People on anaverage have 3 to 5 pooris. Light brown incolour. Taste good when hotor warm , OK when cold too, good as packed food for school, picnic lunch etc Bhaturas Made with refinedflour (maida). Usually fermented. Flour is mixedcurd, yeast and fine semolina. The rolled outpoori size is 9 inches or more. Bhaturas are softto tear yet crispy and have a fermented dough smell. Always had withwhole chick peas thick gravy and salads of onion, tomato, cucumber slices orraitha. Cream or whitish incolour. More tasty as it ismade of refined flour fried in oil. A person usuallyhas one or two Bhaturas. Only gluttons may have three or more . Taste good whenhot. As it get cooled down it tends to get stretchy and difficult to tear. Q5 Can one senior citizen keep a sum of15 lakh rupees or more than the sum of the said money in different banks? A5 PrasannaBhaleraoSun If you are talkingabout normal bank accounts, then yes, anyone including a senior citizen cankeep ₹15 lakhs or above in theaccounts. The source mustbe explained if questioned. But i think thatyou are asking about Senior Citizens Savings Scheme. This scheme restricts thetotal deposit (across multiple accounts) to a grand total ₹15lakhs per senior citizen. Q6 Who won the Kurukshetra War? A6 AdityaSawant19m Only wise people willunderstand that Lord Krishna created the war, fought the war and he was theonly winner of the whole Kurukshetra war. In the end, he is the ultimate truth of this universe. He ensured victoryfor the righteous Pandavas against their evil cousins Kauravas through varioustactics. However, he contributed in a mammoth way without taking weapons inhand or killing anyone. Q7 How did ancient Egyptians cut a rockmountain into 3-ton stones without dynamites? A7 JasonAlmendra I took "Greek & Latin Rootsof English" in college Sat How did ancientEgyptians cut a rock mountain into 3-ton stones without dynamites (sic)? Here'san ancient secret among quarrymen. That’s only passed down from father to son. You only use dynamite.If you plan to make gravel, not intact stones. So ancient quarry men lit fires in a row on a bare rocksurface. They quench it with water and/or vinegar. Theychip away the weakened material with diorite balls. It's a type of stone harderthan granite. The dolerite ballon the left was found inside the Great Pyramid along with that copper artifact. They repeat the heating, quenching and chipping untilthey have a line of holes. They inserted driedwooden wedges into the holes and poured water into the cavities. The woodabsorbs the water and swells. Thus cracking a block. This would be trimmed downinto a building block. To trim the stones, the Egyptians imported copper fromCyprus. They drilled a line of holes in the stone.Then they inserted copper wedges into the holes and hammered them in a series.In one hole there would be two feathers and one plug in-between. Modern quarrymen use diamond wire saws and water to cutthrough rock. Q8 you dry your clothes in a washingmachine? If so, how? A8 3Answers Dylan Young, Appliance engineer, WMRepair ServicesAnswered Aug 16, 2017 Make sure youhaven't overloaded the drum and use the high spin setting on your washingmachine so that as much water as possible is removed from your clothes. If you're using acombo washer-dryer (combination of a washing machine and clothes dryer in asingle unit), then just run adrying cycle. If you're using aconventional washing machine then put your clothing on the ironing board andlay a thin bed sheet on the top of it. Iron at a high temperature and withoutsteam for 3-5 minutes on each side - inside and outside of the shirt forexample. Khushi SinghAnswered Oct 14 A washer dryer is a washing machine with an inbuilt tumbledryer, so if you need to dry clothes quickly, it's agood option as it both washes and dries your clothes in the same cycle – so all you need to do is remove theclothes from the machine and they're ready to wear. A washing machineor dryer allows you the flexibility to dry clothes at your feasible time; italso comes handy when there's no sunlight or is raining. Gopala Krishnan, former Assistant GeneralManager 1996-2004 at Department of Telecom (1966-2004)Answered just now Inbuilt dryer iswith semi automatic washing machines. There are switches for dryer in automaticwashing machines in India. They have to be operated. In semiautomatic dryer isanother part of the washing machines. Drying is more insemi automatic machines. However either automatic or semi automatic machinesdry clothes only up to 90%. We have todry outside in sunshine and wind blowing area for perfect drying. Q9 Are there any drawbacks to electriccars? If so, which is the biggest? A9 SteveBakerNov 10 One problem is thatthey are fairly expensive for the average person. If you’re smart enough torealize that “Total Cost of Ownership” is what actually matters - then EV’s arenot expensive at all - but if you just look at the sticker price - it’s daunting. However, an average person will save about $150/monthon gas and oil changes - and if you spend thatmoney on an increased car payment - then EV’s aren’t all the expensive afterall. Tesla are reportedly working on a design for a $25,000 EV - and if theysucceed, then this may become a non-problem. There are still a few remote places that don’t havesuitable chargers within the range of a moreaffordable EV. Tesla are kicking charger manufacturing into high gear - andthere are over a dozen other charger manufacturers in the USA who are expandingtheir networks. People who live in places like apartment buildings - orother places where there is no convenient wayto charge overnight - can still recharge as needed - but they miss out on the#1 convenience - the ability to charge overnight, at home. There are many initiatives to fixthis problem. Q10 How does an air conditioner remotecheck room temperature? 3 Answers Mourya S Teja, former HVAC Engineer /Mechanical Engineer (2016-2017)Answered May 17, 2018 The remote doesn't check the temperature if it’sa Room Air Conditioner, the thermostat in the indoor unit which does the job. It’s like askinghow does my Television remote know the channel I’m watching, well, it doesn't. Remote is just another Interfacewhich imitates the physical buttons/ controls of the machine, remotely. If you’re askingabout the wall mounted control unit, in a centralized air conditioned system,it also has the thermostat, which works on the principle of heat exchange. Insimple terms, stuff expands when heated up, and shrinks when cooled down. Themechanism is called The Thermal Expansion. To know more about it, visit How do thermostats work? Riad, Product Designer @ Xia (2015-present)AnsweredMay 25, 2017 The simple answer is it depends on your AC. SomeACs have temperature sensors in the remotecontrol but others just sync it with main unit, yet others enforce it on themain unit each time the button on the remote is clicked. Some even use 2 of themethods mentioned above. Youneed some testing and to read your manual to know which method the manufactureused. Bhanu Joshi, former Product Trainer at Honeywell(2010-2017)Updated May 24, 2017 The remote shouldbe having some kind of temperature sensor. I would break it down to you insimple words. The ac andremote are similar to a connection between a light bulb and a switch that'scontrolling it (forget the wiring part, cud here the connection betweenac and remote is radio frequency based). So ac is the machine and remote is its switch. Achas refrigerant the fluid that helps in creating cooling effect, a compressorthat compresses the refrigerant from gas to liquid form within the ac and thereare many other components. Sobasically it's a machine which helps in cooling air that is passing through it.While the remote has brain (called microprocessor) that is programmed forcertain features. There are algorithms to maintain temperature accuracy inroom. Remote has two main components that help in cooling. A switch - totrigger radio signal to ac to start the cycle of refreageration and Sensor- usually a thermistor (electronic sensor thatchanges resistance based on temperature change.So when you press the room temperature button on the remote, the brainunderstands that it reads the resistance value from the sensor and shows it toyou on the display.
