Sometimes to remove some really stubbornstains like ground in dirt / blood / 
mud and things like that. Inconjunction with a good washing powder it should 
get the stain out in one gowithout the need for a pre-wash. Will really take a 
long time though, sometimes up to 4 hoursto complete maybe

heavily soiled loads. • Washcombines fast speed agitation and fast spin speeds.

3rd answer- PamHeiden, Artist, QuoranGirl, Relationship Observer, Love to 
Organize Things AnsweredApr 6, 2016

I would use theheavy duty setting, on a washing machine, for circumstances like 
these -

Outdoor work pants covered in mud, grass, dust,stains, etc.

Even things likecobwebs or bugs creates a circumstance which qualifies as 
worthy of a heavyduty wash and hot water with lots of soap!

Fabrics, such asclothing, tablecloths, or the like, which have been improperly 
stored, may notbe heavily soiled but they might be musty or dusty.

They might notbenefit from a heavy wash but the person handling the items might 
feel morecomfortable touching them after a good wash!

4th answer-DaBaumAnswered Jul 31

On my machine theheavy duty cycle offers alonger agitation cycle and a longer 
and faster spin cycle so when the jeans ortowels or heavy blankets come out 
they are damp and not wet thusless wear and tear on my dryer.

Q2            How safe is eating eggplant withskins on?

A2            Lucia Garcia  Nov 4 

Eating eggplant with its skin is more beneficial tohealth, and the nutritional 
value ofeggplant skin is much higher than that of eggplant.

Eggplant skin is the essence of eggplant nutrition.

Eggplant skincontains a lot of vitamin P. Vitamin P effectively reduces blood 
lipids andcholesterol, increases the elasticity and toughness of capillaries, 
and is verybeneficial to the health of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular.

Eggplant skincontains anthocyanins, flavonoids and vitamin C. These substances 
are naturalantioxidants that can remove harmful free radicals, protect cells, 
and delaythe aging process of cells.

In addition,eggplant skin is rich in dietary fiber, which can promote 
peristalsis, enhancemetabolism, and eliminate toxins and garbage.

Q3            How do continuously welded railwaytracks cope with thermal 
expansion or contraction?

A3            Alan DiceyTue

CWR is fastenedfirmly to the sleepers (‘ties’ in American parlance) so that it 
cannot move longitudinally.The track is stressed as it is laid, by heating 
orhydraulic stretching, to make it the length it would be during a dayof 
average temperature for its location. On all other days, the track is intension 
or compression, but is held firmly enough to prevent bending.

CWR rail sections can be several kilometres in length,but there are joints. 
These are scarfed to allow fora smooth ride, and the sleepers either side of 
the joint are kept in alignmentby centrally placed girders.

Imagination<..Answered 9m ago

Have you everbathed in rain and felt nostalgic about childhood? Well, rain not 
only bringsback memories but also provides a number of health benefits.

The season ofmonsoon is finally here. With rain doing its pitter-patter every 
other day,there is a coolness which the season brings along with itself. There 
is hardlyanyone who doesn’t like monsoon as it takes us back to our carefree 
childhooddays. Enjoying a hot plate full of pakoras and a piping hot cup of 
chai is allyou need to spend a wet day indoors. Apart from this, getting wet in 
the rainand dancing has its own thrill. Not only kids, but also adults love 
gettingdrenched in the downpour. Bathing in the rain has its own set of health 
andskin benefits. So, the next time you get wet in rain, keep fretting at bay 
andenjoy yourself to the core. If you are still fretting to dance in the 
rain,then read ahead to know about its amazing health benefits.

Healthy Hair Rain helps in cleansing your hairnaturally. Being alkaline in 
nature, it can wash off the dirt and impuritiesfrom your scalp. Regularly 
bathing in rain can revive your dull hair and makethem look glossy as well. 
After bathing in the rain, all you need to do is takea shower and wash your 
hair with a mild shampoo. It would be better if youcould use neem infused 
shampoo or soap for the purpose.

Vitamin B12 Rainwater is very light and has a pHalkaline. It has the power to 
refresh your mind in a jiffy. Rainwater containsmicroorganisms which have the 
capacity to produce vitamin B12 as a metabolicbyproduct of their activity. If

Make sure you quickly have a shower with aproper soap after getting drenched, 
in order to clean yourself.

also effective for ear problems. It treats any kindof ear infections and keeps

is ideal to spend 10-15 minutes in rain andtake a warm bath soon after.

painful rashes. Sweat is the main contributor ofskin problems during the hot 
weather. What’s better than giving yourself abreak from the heat by indulging 
in a cool rain bath? Rain baths not only coolyour body down but also treat 
rashes. It is a proven fact that rainwaterbalances the temperature of your skin

serotonin. These hormones relieve tension andinstantly make you happy. Bathing

impuritiesalong with it. Asthe season proceeds, you can safely bathe in rain. 
So, the next time itdownpours, make sure you step out in the rain and get 
drenched properly.

Q6            Why do some people travel in 1A(first class) train instead of 
taking a flight, which has almost same orslightly more fare?

A6            Srinath Nalluri Thu

You see this bus

Cover all the glasswith a white curtain, leaving an oval space in every row, 
fix two wings oneither side and make it fly.You get the basic flight you are 
talking about.

The advantage you get is a shorter travel time.And the disadvantages are 
congested environment,lesser leg space, minimal or no food and sitting 
throughout the whole journey.

Exceptfor the quicker travel, air travel is very overrated. It is nothing but 
anaverage ac bus on wings.

Compare that withsomething like this

It is so spacious,with great leg space and berths to rest and relax 
comfortably. There is noupper limit on the baggage, don’t have to arrive an 
hour before departure.Also, every coach has a power supply and internet for you 
to work or watchmovies all through the journey.

In some trains, there are even shower rooms andthe food is amazing as well[1].

So if travel timeis not a constraint, you are getting a luxury experience for 
the same or theslightly higher price you are paying to travel on a flight.

In the good olddays (and even now in some places), when someone says he travels 
in flights people look athim in awe and consider him privileged. The one who 
travels in 1stAC is even more privileged than him. Simply because, in addition 
to money, heeven has time to spare for a comfortable travel.

Q7            How is the food at IIT Madras?

A7            Shubhangi Agrawal Studied BioprocessEngineering at Indian 
Institute of Technology, Madras (IITM)Sun

Food at IIT M is cool. Sometimes it tastes toogood, at other times it’s not 
upto that mark. But, it’s manageable.

There are twomesses: North Indian and South Indian. Students also have the 
option ofchoosing the ‘Food Court’(where they get the food of their choice).

Breakfast is almostthe same in both the messes. It includes Idli, Dosa, 
Uttapam, Sambhar, Noodles,Pav Bhaji, Chola Bhatoora, Poori Sabji, Vada, 
Cutlets, Corn Flakes, Egg, Milk,Tea, the menu of which differs everyday.

In lunch andDinner, we get-Chapati, Rice, Dal, Sabzi, Curd, Salads and Fruits.

Q8            Does a saw with bigger teeth cutbetter?

A8            Michael DuncanI do custom woodworkand furniture repair.Nov 13

The answer is unequivocally sometimes.

Biggerteeth means fewer teeth per inch and a larger void between teeth. This 
void iscalled the gullet.

Fewer teeth perinch with a large gullet create cuts IN WOOD with less friction 
for tworeasons- there is less saw tooth contact with the wood, and the large 
gullets removesawdust from the kerf quickly.

In long cuts through thick materials, this reduction offriction is invaluable 
because it improves theefficiency of the cutting action and keeps the saw blade 
cool. Resawing is theprimary example of this. Resawing is cutting a plank along 
its thickness.Below, I’m using a 3 tooth per inch resaw blade to cut through 
six feet of 6”maple:

A blade with smaller teeth can stall even apowerful saw in this scenario. It 
causes burning and jaggednessin the cut as the friction and sawdust push the 
blade out of alignment.

Q9            Why do Indian adults live with theirparents and grandparents? 
Don't they think about personal independence?

A9            Titus D'silva Nov 10

I am the perfectperson to answer this question. I, as an Indian adult, just 
moved out of myparents house to my own apartment and so I have an idea about 
the pros and consof such a move. Theshort answer is that the cost-benefit ratio 
just doesn't make sense to atypical Indian adult.

Personalindependence is considered as an overrated value by most money-wise 
Indianscompared to the huge amount of money that can be saved.Independence is 
an abstract value while money is not at all abstract. It costsanywhere between 
half a lakh to one lakh for an apartment(deposit + rent)andbuying all the 
comforts of a functioning house. In addition to that there isthe monthly rent.

Most Indian adults who want personal independence goabout it in a more sensible 
way. They simply paytheir parents a monthly rent and go about their life living 
in their parent'shouse with whatever amount of freedom and respect that their 
parents give them. Living in their parents housemeans that they don't need to 
cook their meals themselves which is a huge plusto career conscious Indian 
adults. They can go about their workwithout worrying what to cook, what to 
market.

Seriously,if you have parents that give you the space that you expect and you 
love beingaround your family then don't bother about shifting.Enjoy having free 
food, free room service and being mollycoddled to death. Onthe other hand, if 
you value independence or don't like being around yourfamily then go for it. 
Splurge your money. You only get a few moments when youare alive and so it is 
entirely upto you how you spend your hard-earned money.

Personally, I LOVEit.

I can buy anythingI want without my penny-wise and dollar foolish mother 
telling me how to spendto spend my money. I am learning survival skills like 
cooking, marketing andmanaging my expenses. I pay all my bills and am fully and 
functionally anadult.

Plus I get to livein an apartment that looks like a hotel.
