CULTURAL QA03-2022-14 BEING A COMPILATION THERE MAY BE ERRORS
Q1 Should you always usesecond rinse on a washing machine? A1 Gopala Krishnan,former Assistant General Manager 1996-2004 at Department of Telecom (1966-2004)Answered just now I am from Chennai, India. Full washing is completed in the washing cyclecompleted with end indication. But clothes are not dry. During summer we simply put theclothes on clothes line except thick bed sheets. Thick bed sheets are dried for10 minutes spinning cycle. Clothes becomes lighter in weight and dried 75%.Then we place them on clothes line. In winter all clothes are driedeither in 10 or 15 minutesdrying cycle. This is with respect to Top load and front load fully automaticwashing machines . In semi automatic washingmachine there is a rinse point. Afterwashing they are rinsed and then transferred to rinse and dry position. Clothesbecome still more lighter in weight and dried 85%. Only thing is always personalattention is required in semi- automatic machines. We have to manually transfer the clothes fordrying. It is more efficient. I have both machines in my home. Q2 What did people usebefore insulin was discovered? A2 Ken Saladin Emeritusprofessor of biology20h They didn’t really use anything—that is, they knew nothing that would control type 1 diabetes.They did, however, fall victim to innumerable quack treatments—the “oatmealcure,” “potato cure,” and starvation diets of <700 calories/day in order“not to stress the system.” Most victims were children, and they livedmiserable, painful, and short lives. My note- Type 2 patients used tohave wheat porridge andayurvedic medicine like Mehari dravam in my boyhood days. When I got affectedwith diabetics in 1997’s I was using tablet dionil prescribed to me. In India even when huma insulin got introduced, patients feared it. Itwas common diabetic patients had to ampute leg on severe condition of uncontrolled diabetics or had earlier death. Q3 How do I choose awater purifier in India? A3 LG India Lives inIndia Updated Fri As Various options of water purifiers are available in the market,consumers are often confused when it comes to buying a water purifier for theirhomes. It is an important decision as it involves ensuring the good health andwell-being of our families. Before selecting Which waterpurifier to Buy, the Below factors can be considered while making the purchase: 1. Source of Water – Find thesource of your tap water andget it tested for hardness, salinity and TDS (Total Dissolved Solids) levels.Selection of Water purifier to be done basis the TDS levels of your Area. Municipality water TDS averages around 200ppm Ground water TDS ranges between 200 to 500ppm Bore-well water TDS is usuallymore than 500ppm 2. Purification technology –Depending on the qualityand source of water, you can choose from a range of water purifiers. RO(Reverse Osmosis) purification technology works best for water with higher TDSlevels of more than 500ppm. RO technology filters heavy metals, particulates,minerals through selective permeable membranes and provides purified water. If TDS is less than 200ppm, youcan choose UV (Ultra-Violet) filtration technology which can removeimpurities while retaining key minerals. 3. Storage capacity – Analyzeyour family’s daily waterconsumption to understand the required capacity of your water purifier. In places where there arefrequent electricity fluctuations, purifiers with high water storage work well. For 2-4 members we recommend a storage capacity of 5-8 litres For 4-6 members we recommend a storage capacity of 8-10 litres For more than 6 members, a storage capacity of 10 litres is recommended 4. Stainless steel Storage Tank –As we all Know Steel is Pure and isUsed in our Homes for ages, Prefer water purifier with Stainless steel storage Tank, which issuitable for all weather, All the water purifiers of LG comes with 8 LitresDual protection Airtight stainless steel storage tank with 10 Years warranty. There is 94.4% less E Coli Growthin 24 Hrs in stainless steel tank as compared with conventional Plastic Tank. 5. IN Tank UV – Water purifierHaving In Tank UV can bepreferred, as it restricts secondary Contamination, LG Water Purifier comeswith IN Tank UV which automatically treats stored water for 75 Minutes every 6Hrs so that water remains Pure. 6. Maintenance – Maintaining thewater purifier is the mostimp factor to be considered, go for a Brand that gives automated call for servicingso that you don’t need to worry. LG provides Automated calls to its customersfor Maintenance, LG provides True Maintenance Package to the customers who BuyLG Water Purifier . They change Out sedi Filters 3times a year and LG use Advanced Mechanism to clean the water purifier by Using Digital sterilization Kit, whichcleans water Pipes, Faucet and Tank digitally without manual touch using anyharmful chemicals. This true Maintenance comes free for a period of one year sothat customers can enjoy peace of mind. My note- The QA is in no-wayrecommending LG Products.Water tank in stainlesssteel is a new information to me. In earlier products one had tostore in a fibre container . The RO water came through a tube and we had tokeep it inside the container to collect RO water. On those days paper filters were stored and used. Now they areuse and throw. Older systems were open type and small pvc pipes connecting units were clumsy. Now they are compact. Q4 Is it true that in theSahara desert there were many human civilizations that are now lost to history? A4 Matt Riggsby MAArchaeological Studies, Boston University Feb 27 That’s a rather overdramatic way of stating it, but it’s true toa limited extent. The Sahara has grown and shrunk several times since humanity appeared300,000 years ago. In thattime, countless human societies, mostly hunter-gatherers and earlyagriculturalists (any group of people is a society; a civilization is a societywith particular characteristics), have occupied that region. As with most of the worldthrough most of prehistory, our knowledge of societies of the time is limited.So there are societies in the region which is now the Sahara of which we knowlittle or nothing, but there’s nothing particularlyspecial about the Sahara in that regard. That’s true of just about anywhere. And that “the Sahara grew and shrank” thing has carriedthrough into historical times and the period of civilization, which is to saysocieties characterized by social complexity and the presence of cities. Notably, we nowand again find the remains of villages and even full-blown cities in areaswhich were once much better watered but have now been absorbed by the growingdesert. While they’re pretty much all associated with societies similar toother societies we know about in the region, we haven’t necessarily hadforeknowlege of those specific cities. So, then, there’s definitelystuff in the Sahara we didn’t already know about, but it’s all from particular kinds of societieswhich we would expect not to know about. Q5 How much truth isthere in the rather curious legend that claims that our medieval ancestorsdrank wine and beer to avoid consuming water, often polluted by sewage producedby cities and domestic animals? A5 Matt Riggsby MAArchaeological Studies, Boston University Fri Little or none. We know from Medieval sources that people could find sources of goodwater, could tell the difference between good and bad, could collect rainwaterwhich was known to be good, could bring good water in by the barrel(Venice had to do this, since it was surrounded by salt water), and so on.Population densities were generally low enough that water in the countrysidewasn’t particularly contaminated, and even in cities it wasn’t necessarily bad. So far as I can tell, the ideathat people in the Middle Ages drank alcohol because the water wasn’t safe is amyth dating to the 19th century, which was a time of alot of bad history. Peopledid like to drink beer and wine, but for the same reasons people drink beer andwine today: they like the taste and they like the effects it has on them.But safety isn’t on the list. Q6 Scientists can onlyexplain that what is seen in a near-death experience is just a hallucinationbecause the brain is deprived of oxygen. So can scientists explain where aperson's consciousness goes after complete death? A6 Ken Saladin Formerprofessor of histology (microscopic anatomy)Mar 6 Yes, easily. The consciousness dissolves at death, like a fog rising offthe land in the morning, and then is no more. You question is comparable to asking “What happens toyour dream when you start to wake up?” You know how it just dissolves into a less andless detailed memory, and minutes to an hour later you may remember little ornothing of it at all? That’s where I feel all consciousness goes asone is dying. Nothing left—no more than there was before you were conceived.Consciousness is a subjective impression of biochemical reactions that are nolonger occurring after the brain dies. That may seem sad, but I feel it wouldbe a horror beyond all nightmares to be conscious for eternity. If I had tochoose between eternal consciousness or oblivion, I’d choose oblivion. Q7 Which branch should Ichoose for a PG residency after an MBBS if I want a stress-free life, noemergency and night duties with less toxicity? A7 Ajaypal Singh ThindAnaesthesia PG resident from Kalpana Chawla Government Medical College(Expected 2023)Thu First option is non clinicalbranches , but in non clinicalbranches ur pay scale is less ( 60 k to 1 lakh), plus u may have to move toother city for job Radiology, dermatology areother 2 branches , u will getgood pay scale in these branches, but for these branches if you are going forgovernment seat then u should be in top 5000 ( MD/DNB) , or for private u haveto pay between 1 to 2 crores In radiology u may have to donight duty as there may be some emergencies cases like head injury etc, in case of derma there are only 2–3emeribgencies like Steven Johnson syndrome etc ( during ur PG time u may haveto do night duty in both the branches) For all the clinical branches ,specially during ur post graduation u have to do night duty, emergency duty, but after completion of ur postgraduation this scenario changes. For eg u can run a clinic from 9 to 5 , foranaesthesia u can do 9 to 5 pm job only for operation theatre ( because ICUpart is hectic, operation theatre part is not very hectic, u can sit aftergiving spinal, general anaesthesia), u can join medical colleges where most ofthe night duty and emergencies are handled by 2nd or 3 Rd year PG, Not all night duties are hectic, sometime there is onlyone case and u can sleep for 5–7 hours easily, plus u will have off next day Q8 Why did early humansdecide to wear clothes, especially ones that didn’t live in cold climates? A8 Matt Riggsby BAAnthropology, U.C. Berkeley Wed It’s a good question. We’ve got a few different threads of evidenceindicating that humans—that is, Homo sapiens—were habitually wearing clothes over 150,000 years ago.And since our ancestors were all in Africa at the time,a place not known for a chilly climate even in during the depths of the IceAges, the question of why has to look beyond insulation. While it’s plausible that people may have worn clothing from time to timefor protection from the environment but against particularly harsh sun,insects, or blowing sand, that doesn’t account for wearing clothes frequently.One plausible answer, though, is to look good. Humans the world over groom andadorn themselves in a variety of different styles. We wear ornaments, we styleour hair, we get tattoos and piercings and patterned scars, and so on. Lacking clear environmentalpressures, social reasons for adopting clothing see entirely likely. Q9 What should parentstell their daughter openly during marriage? Q9 MARRIED LIFE - LetsTalk Facts answered by Ak Reviews Mar 6 Parents should be honest withtheir daughter and tell herthat marriage is a work of balancing. They should also tell her that they (Husband,Wife) will have to make compromises and that they will need to be patient.Lastly, they should remind her that it's not an ordinary relationship, marriageis a lifelong commitment. Q10 If you are asked tochoose between Chutney and Sambhar along with Idli, what would you choose? A10 Meghana S Lives inIndia (2001–present)Mar 8 I'm one of those rare species,who first soaks idli completely in sambaar and then dip it in chutney and eatit. It is the best, trust me😋 First I'll pour sambaar all over the idli, let it soak, then take a pieceof it, dips it in chutney and eat. That's my ideal style to eat at home. But, if I have to choose onlyone, then I'll choose chutney.Because, I feel tomato-toordaal sambaar prepared along with idlis isn't spicy enoughto rely on.For some reason we aren't very used to eating dose or idli withsambaar, we prefer chutney itself. So, I think it has grown with me :-) While searching for this image on Google, I found too many photos with idli-Drumstickssambaar, is it a famous combination or something? I don't know if itis just me, I've never seen or had drumsticks sambaar with anything other thanrice and mudde. Please tell me is it a thing? My note- For me the selectiondepends on the quality and taste of chutney and sambar. If excellent coconut chutney, I prefer it. If sambaris more tasty and chutney contain pottikadalai, I prefer only sambar. Q11 Why are dhabas morefamous than hotels in India? A11 Sahil Phatangare Princeof Quora Feb 27 Both the incidence are of this month only. I was traveling for the wholeday, during afternoon I stopped at a place for lunch. Both the time, I orderedthe same food misal pav. Misal Pav is a spicy curry made from legumes, served with bread andtopped with farsan, sev, onions and coriander. First scenario:- At Dhaba. It cost me 50 rupees, plus the spicy gravy was unlimited you can see thebucket next to plates. Second scenario:- at a popularrestaurant. It cost me 70 rupees, the presentation wasn't that good and taste I willsay it was ok. Not always Dhabas food is better than hotels. It's a case study of regional fast food. Like if you order traditional food or fast food at Dhabas it will be moreflavourful and tasty as compared to hotels. Dhabas are cost-effective as comparedto hotels. Plus they are located near highways orimportant joints. Whereas hotels are situated far inside the city. If you have one bread left, and that timecurry is finished. At dhabas, you can request like please bring curry in somequantity. At hotels,you would force to order a full dish. Last but not the least, Dhabas have their own uniqueness. From sittingarrangement to the food they serve. Although in the context of hygiene and health reasons,hotels would only lose to home-cooked food.~boss baby🤠 Q12 Why is a mongoose themost potent against even the most dangerous of snakes? A12 Barret Joseph BirdAustralian. Proud servant of feline overlords. Updated Fri They’re extremely quick, and agile dodgers. Mongooses are also prettystrong for their size. This, along with their endurance means a mongoose cancircle around a cobra for quite some time, taking numerous swipes until one ofthem lands. They’re smart,too, and they deliberately bait out attacks from the snake. It can take a while, but once amongoose has position, they break the snake’s neck rather efficiently. Cobras are quite intelligent, more so than all other snakes.They adapt to the mongoose’s tactics, but the circling and dodgingeventually causes them to make mistakes. The mongoose’s acrobatic fitness gives them the advantage. They can wearthe cobra down, if they have to. Here are some action shots, for you. Edit: Some honourable mentionsfrom the comment section:Mike Long has pointed out that mongooses are unaffected by the neurotoxiccomponent of cobra venom, giving them a huge defence boost. ShaunHeather noticed that shot 2 and 3 are the same mongoose, in the same pose,flipped and shaded in photoshop. Apologies for that one. I’m not certain whichphoto is the real one, so here’s another photo to make up for the fake: Edit #2 Thank you for the views, upvotes, and the most enjoyable commentsection I’ve seen in a while. I thought I’d add a more friendly cobraand mammal shot.These puppies fell into a well, and the cobra appears to be guarding them bypreventing them from walking to the other side of the well, where they are atrisk of drowning.
