CULTURAL QA12-2021-25 Dear friends,
I wish all Christian members inThatha patti group a happy Christmas Gopalakrishnan 25-12-2021 BEING A COMPILATION THERE MAY BE ERRORS Q1 How long do I have tobe in the sun to get enough Vitamin D for the day? A1 LuciaGarcia Worked at Hospitals Tue Vitamin D is an essential vitaminand cannot be synthesized by the body. Most of the vitamin D the body needs comes from sunlight. The 7-dehydrocholesterol under theskin of the body can be converted into vitamin D under the irradiation ofultraviolet rays in the sun. Therefore,vitamin D is also called "sunshine vitamin". There are two time periods that aremost suitable for sunbathing every day. The first time period is from 9 am to10 am, and the second time period is from 4 pm to 5 pm. In winter and spring, expose yourface and upper arms to the sun for 10 to 30 minutes. In summer and autumn, theultraviolet rays are stronger. Expose the body to direct sunlight for 5 minutesto 10 minutes a day, 2 to 3 times a week, so that the body can produce enoughvitamin D. In fact, in summer, just a fewminutes of sunbathing, the body will produce about 20,000 international unitsof vitamin D. The body canstore excess vitamin D in fat for use in winter. Sun exposure can also stimulate thebrain to release serotonin. Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that can regulateemotions and make people feel relaxed and happy. Q2 Can you eat too manybananas? What is the effect of doing so? A2 LuciaGarcia Worked at Hospitals Wed Bananas are rich in nutrients, butyou should not eat too much. It is recommended to eat up to 3 bananas a day. Banana is a bit sweet, and itssugar content is relatively high. A medium-sized banana weighs about 100 grams and contains 14 grams of sugar. The WHO recommends that adultsconsume 25 grams (6 tablespoons) of sugar per day, with a maximum of 50 grams. If you consume too much sugar, the excess sugar can easily be convertedinto fat, and the accumulation of fat can lead to obesity. Bananas are high-calorie fruits. Amedium-sized banana contains 90 calories.Taking in too many calories is another factor leading toobesity. Q3 Is stainless steel ornonstick cookware better?

Q4 Will bank employeeslose jobs after privatisation? A4 KanthaswamyBalasubramaniam Lawyer Tue Very Unlikely. In fact almostcertainly NO Neither will there be a singlerupee reduction in Salary or Pay Scale related increases in the near future In the next few years - the Greatest fear will be - TRANSFERS I am certain Private Entities won’tentertain the Circle, Outside Circle Concept and may post someone working inChennai to Rourkela or Bulandshaher and someone working in Guwahati toTircuchirapalli. Thisdisrupts life and education of Kids. >From 1996 - I didn’t attend 7 Promotion Interviews because My Kids neededa >stable education platform and they had changed schools from Pune toMumbai to >Kolkata to Mumbai and more transfers meant that more disruptions >andinstability. I Simply didn’t attend because i knew if i was promoted - I was certainto be sent to UP or Bihar or North East where Schools were not of the samequality. And i stayed for a long time withmy uncle because my father kept going to the North to Bhatinda, Bikaner, Ambalaetc when he was in the Army. Likewise Seniority is another thing The Second greatest fear is -INSURANCE & REIMBURSEMENTS PresentlyBank Employees can sleep easy because Medical Expenses are covered 100% by theBank for Self and spouse A Scale V Officer in Bank of Indiacan get 100% reimbursement for a Rs. 31 Lakh Procedure without a single hitchor issue. They can even get unofficial cashless claims. A Scale III Officer can get Rs.80,000/- a month until retirement for Cancer Medicines without a hitch. I am sure Private Entities will try to grab this money and ruin it undersome Crackpot Insurance Scheme which will rip off the employees. The Third Greatest Fear is -INDISCRIMINATE CRONY LENDING Banks always are afraid thatPrivate Entities have lesser regulations than Govt Entities. Like Yes Bank. Bank Staff will be held liable for Loans sanctioned by Crony Directors Q5 I’m 19 my father willretire till 2028, so is engineering a great career to choose to overcome thefuture livelihood? A5 DD Rishi Former IRS | Advocate | LL. M.,Ph.D. (Law) | Tue A large percentage of engineerstoday are not able to get even a job fetching Rs.10,000 pm in India. Too manyengineering colleges have mushroomed, and the quality of engineering educationis said to be poor. It does not seem likely that an engineering degree, expectfrom premium institutions, will be worthwhile in days to come. Choose only a career which is likelyto be in demand in coming 5–10 years. Q6 Does getting marriedin May bring bad luck? A6 RatnamalaKamath M'com from Karnatak University, Dharwad (Graduated 1988)Wed “Married in the month of May and you'll live to rue the day”. Probably you saw this saying andhence the question. I too came to know of this saying many years after I gotmarried. It was too late by that time because I had already got married at theend of May as per our astrological charts. If I had known the saying thenprobably I would have got married in June. I'm a little superstitious in such things you see.So why take the risk. There are days when we both rue theday we got married and days when we are happy to be together. This is probablytrue of most marriages. But just in case you are superstitious you can get married in June. “Marrywhen June roses grow and over land and sea you'll go”. I don't know how far all thesesayings come true and neither I'm promoting superstition but I feel it's betterto avoid getting married in months about which you are superstitious ratherthan regretting and getting negative thoughts later on. You will then end upblaming the marriage month for every fight, misunderstanding and problems whichare a part and parcel of married life. FYImy parents were married in the month of December and she wasn't very happyeither. According to my son whichever monthyou get married in, you'll rue the day😆😅. Q7 Where is a highvoltage power supply required? A7 GirishPatil , Studying electrical engineering Answered 42m ago The high voltage power supply is generally seen at the industrial sectors. I live inMaharashtra so there are lots of MIDCs (Maharashtra Industrial DevelopmentCorporation). Every other big city or strategic location has it's ownindustrial sector. 11KV and less than that are popular high voltages used inIndia. Q8 Do the Swedes usecurtains? A8 ChrisEbbert Lives in Sweden Dec 16 Curtainsare known and used in Sweden, though not always in the same way as in someplaces. The main difference being thatSwedish home owners do not normally have the almost obsessive urge of, say, theGermans to draw the curtains and thus make the inside of the house invisible tothe outside as soon as it’s time to turn on interior lighting. Asa result, you can walk down the street in Sweden and look right into people’shomes very easily. Only in summer, when the sun never really seems to set, will curtainsactually be used. And we aren’t talking flimsy things, either, but somevery heavy duty calibers that block out the light like walls. Not all curtains are usable though. Often, they are only installed aswindow dressings, for cosmetic reasons. Q9 How do you dry itemsafter a wash? A9 VenkateswaraSwamy Swarna, former Scientist, Metallurgist, Quality / NDT Manager atDepartment of Atomic Energy, India (1967-2008)Answered 8h ago Our washing machine has a spin drying optionbuilt in. So, most of the water is removed from the clothes after washing bythe same spin drier. The clothes are then put outside the house on a clothes line or on aclothes stand. In sunny weather, they dry in a few hours. When it is rainingoutside, we keep the clothes stand in a room and keep the ceiling fan on. Ittakes many more hours but the clothes dry out. There are some separate dryersand electrically heated wardrobes but we don’t use them. Q10 When the United Stateswas founded in 1776, were teenagers legally considered minors or adults? A10 AmyChrista Ernano American all my lifeDec 11 There was no real concept of “teenagers” until the 20th century. A16-year-old could walk into a saloon and order a beer in most places throughmost of the 1800s — Wisconsin was the first state to establish any restrictionon minors drinking in 1839,when the state passed a law that anyone under 18 needed a parent's consent tobuy liquor,and it wasn't until the Temperance movement of the 1880s that any other statehad legal restrictions on “underage drinking”. Manypoor kids went to work as soon as they were old (big) enough, to help supporttheir families. Most American kids who were not aiming for educatedprofessions like doctor, lawyer, etc., went to school long enough to learnbasic reading, writing, and math. You could be a schoolteacher while you werestill a teenager — Laura Ingalls Wilder became a teacher at 15 in 1882. Wedidn't even have child labor laws until the 20th century. 11-year-olds worked in factoriesand mines and on farms. They hunted with their fathers and had their ownrifles. So,“teenager" is a pretty new concept. All the above QA are from Quora website on 24-12- 2021. Compiled and posted by R.
