If you likesomebody let us know. But do not get somebody like “ Thanu”. “ (incidentlythaanu is the girl who was the live bomb that killed Rajiv Gandhi.)

Q2 If oneshirt is supposed to be washed at 30° degrees and another at 40°, can you justwash them both at 30 ° then or should they be washed separately? A2 3 answers-KarynStouffer , A necessary Nov 8 Wash temperaturesare suggested maximum temperatures. You'll be fine washing them together 2nd answer- Ian Donoghue, former ServiceEngineer, Service Training Manager at OwnCompanyAnswered Jun 16, 2020 Yes! the washtemperature rating on clothing is the MAXIMUM temperature the item can be washedat, so using a lower temperature is fine. A bigger problem isoften the mix of items in a load, especially colored items. Lower washtemperatures help protect more delicate fabrics and also tend to have lowerspin speeds. Although less likely, fabric colors can still run, so it would bewise (where possible) to put similar color fabrics together and wash at thetemperature for the most delicate item. We have found“Color Catchers” very good at preventing run colors from recoloring otherfabrics. 3rd answer-Sandra Olney , Professor Emeritus at Queen'sUniversity (1974-present)Answered Jun 16, 2020 The safest thing to do is to wash them both at 30degrees. I think you will find that the 40degree shirt will wash very adequately at the lower temperature. If necessaryyou can pre-treat any stains or add a bit to the washing time, but i doubt thiswill be needed. Q3 Whycan a Hindu not light a candle in his house in Diwali instead of a Diya? Is ita sin? A3 Ambika Vijay Follow Indian Nov 3 No, it is not a sin, it is just harmful. These are waxfilled Diyas : Basically candles ! CandleWax is nothing but Paraffin wax. A 2009 study said that burning paraffin waxreleases gases and volatile organic chemicals like toluene and benzene, whichare known to cause cancer. Burning candlesalso releases particulate matter like soot into the air. Breathing in largeamounts of soot and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) can damage your DNA andlead to lung problem.[1] The candle wicksare some times coated with lead or zinc which are poisonous. Though a lot ofcountries ban the use of Lead and Zinc on candle wicks, we can’t trust the qualitycontrol implemented in India. So burning a large amount of candles at the same timemight not be a good idea. Oil lamps are thebest option. By buying earthern Diyas, you can contribute to the dying industryof traditional Diya making. Footnotes [1] Candles: HealthBenefits, Risks, and Safety Tips Q4 Whatanimals are responsible for saving the most human lives? A4 Ben HaneyOct 21 I’m with the Horseshoe Crab: These guys areimportant and have helped save millions, possibly billions of lives because ofa special type cell found only in their blood. The blood of thehorseshoe crab is a bright blue color and contains a special amebocyte cellcalled Limulus amebocyte lysate, or LAL, and these cells are useful becausethey clot or clump around even the smallest amounts of bacterial toxins, sothey use these cells in medical research to test new batches of vaccines andmedical equipment to ensure that they’re free of bacterial invaders. If you’ve ever received a vaccine for anything in yourlife, chances are you have the horseshoe crabto thank for making sure that vaccine was bacteria-free. Q5 Whydoes Canada not drive on the left side of the road like other parts of theformer British Empire? A5 Gill Bullen Have done a bit of travelling in Europe Sun Probably because Canada has a very large next doorneighbour that drives on the right, and it'smore convenient if they all do the same. Japan and Ireland,like Australia, New Zealand and Malta, are all island countries, with no landborders with any country driving on the right, so they all still drive on theleft. Changing sides would be massively expensive, and there is no practicalreason why they need to. So they don't. There may be otherreasons too. Q6 Howdo you unplug a bathroom vent fan? A6 Gopala Krishnan , former Assistant General Manager1996-2004 at Department of Telecom (1966-2004)Answered 1m ago Normally exhaustfans are fitted at height andswitch kept outside.

With in hours it would solidify. Rubber products and produced from thesolidified rubber- Latex Plastics are a widerange of synthetic or semi-synthetic materials that use polymers as a mainingredient. Their plasticity makes it possible for plastics ... Q8 Whathappens to the temperature of a room in which an air conditioner is leftrunning on a table in the middle of the room? 3 Answers JohnMcCall, Lead Product Engineer Updated Aug 14,2019 The temperaturewill rise. Air conditionersare heat pumps - they work by moving heat from one place to another. To dothis, they consume energy, which also ends up as waste heat, so they put out more heat than they take in. In normal use, theA/C will pull heat from a room/house/car and deposit it, plus its waste heat,outside. In your scenario, it’s still removing heat from the room - but it’sdumping it right back in the same room, plus adding all its waste heat. How fast will theroom heat up? Well, a window A/C uses about the same amount of power as aplug-in space heater, from a few hundred watts up to 1500W or so. So an A/Cunit in the middle of the room will have almost exactly the same effect as aspace heater in the same place. 2ND ABSWER- Richard Ricci , ms Physics &Mathematics, Connecticut (1965)Answered Feb 15 the refrigerationcycle uses a considerable amount of energy the losses from friction must beadded in. If you are giving off heat from the condenser and drawing in heatfrom the evaporator, even assuming they are equal, the heat output from electricity used to run thecompressor and overcome friction is all added to the heat side. so you willslightly heat the room in direct proportion to electricity used. 3RD ANSWER-Daniel Dettmers , 20+ years in theHVAC & Refrigeration industryAnswered Aug 14, 2019 As the other twoanswer stated…assuming we are talking about a window air conditioner…it willget warmer. It will also getdryer as the unit pulls moisture out of the air and it dribbles down thetable onto the floor. Its essentially a dehuimdifier at this point. Q9 Isit possible that dinosaurs actually still exist, but we don't know it becausethey live in the interior that is rarely used by humans? A9 Balaji ViswanathanSun There are a fewbird species that lived during the time of the non-avian dinosaurs that is veryclose to the modern day birds. Theavian dinosaurs (birds) were very closely related to the non-aviandinosaurs and thus you can say dinosaurs actually exist now. At 67 Million YearsOld, Oldest Modern Bird Ever Found Is Natural 'Turducken' Remarkable fossilhints at the traits birds evolved just before an asteroid wiped their nonaviandinosaur kin https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/67-million-years-old-oldest-modern-bird-ever-found-was-natural-turducken-180974460/ As for the larger ones they are all goneand it is nearly impossible for us to discover any of their species alive now as we have a decent ideaof nearly every part of the earth surface. We might miss microscopic organismsand some species in a family of related ones, but something as big as a T Rex. Q10 Ifit’s already possible to transplant a limb, why is an eyeball transplantationnot possible? When will it become possible? A10 Ken Saladin Textbook author and professor emeritusSun Nerves to themuscles and sensory endings of the limbs are capable of regeneration. They have a surrounding sheath calledthe neurolemma that’s necessary for this process. Hand and arm transplantationare therefore feasible.[1] The eyeball, in contrast, is connected to the brain bythe optic nerve, which is actually braintissue. Nerve fibers here don’t have a neurolemma and are therefore incapable ofregeneration. Thus, it is not presently possible to reattach an eye andhave a functional optic nerve.[2][3] This is an active area of research,though, and perhaps one day it will be possible to achieve.[4] Q11 Isthe Mumbai-Karnataka region renamed as 'Kittur Karnataka'?
