Electrolyticcapacitors make a fishy smell when they are going bad. So maybe thecontrol electronics are breaking down. Or you may have a lintbuild-up under the tub that stays damp and has mold or bacteria growing in it. 3RD ANSWER- Adrian Hum, lives in Melbourne, Victoria, AustraliaAnswered Oct 5, 2020 Agree with every answer here…Here is the fix…Set the machine for the hottest cycle available…Letthe machine drain… as the machine begins to fill again, add 2 cups of the cheapest whitevinegar that you can find… When the machine has let out the original water, and begins to fillagain, add another cupof vinegar…Do this at least once every ten or so loads of washing…Bythe way, you should also do this once a month with your dishwasher.

In the US, we're toldthis is unhealthy and bad for digestion. What are the medical facts? A3 Ken Saladin Textbookauthor and professor emeritus Mon It’s not bad for digestion atall. That idea is just an oldfolk belief without scientific substantiation. When we’re sleeping, oursympathetic system is dialed down to “low” and the parasympathetic system isturned up to be more active. Theparasympathetic division promotes digestion; the sympathetic division opposesit. A post-lunch nap istherefore probably healthier, or at least better for one’sdigestion, than physical or even mental work or play. I think a siesta after lunch isa great idea.

A6 Mohith R Gowda KnowsHindi Sat We require to learn Hindi if we get one situation like if we SouthIndians come and live in North Indian states, then for sure we will learn Hindithere.We will embracethat culture. But living in South India and if you force that you should learn Hindiand all, that doesn't make sense. Nothing is stopping any SouthIndian from learning Hindi. Most schools in Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Kerala make us tostudy Hindi as a 3rd language. It's just that inTamil Nadu it's optional. In other states, option is not provided. Butinspite of learning Hindi for years in school, the Hindi we know is a basicone.Because Hindi is not our language. Our languages are different and we speakour languages only.

Q7 Would it be possibleto genetically alter a human to have ears and a tail of any color? A7 Ken Saladin Formerprofessor of histology (microscopic anatomy)22h No, it wouldn’t. Even if there were reason to, or if one were just trying to write aplausible science fiction story, these are not single-gene traits that can bechanged by editing a gene or two. The gene editing for something like this would beso extensive it would almost certainly have unpredictable and possiblydevastating effects on other features and functions of the body.

A9 Lucia Garcia Worked atHospitals12hEating sweet potatoes does not gain weight, instead, in many countries, sweetpotatoes are considered a weight loss food. Sweet potatoes are not high in calories and have almost negligible fatcontent. 100 grams of sweet potatoes contain only 86 calories. Sweet potatoes are rich indietary fiber. Dietary fiber is regarded as a “weight loss killer” and a “fat nemesis”, which can reduce the absorption of fatduring digestion and avoid the accumulation of fat. Most importantly, sweet potatoes contain resistant starch, which is atype of starch that cannot be broken down by the digestive tract. In recent years, many studieshave shown that resistant starch can effectively increase fat oxidation andburn more fat. Research from the University of Colorado shows that eating a meal rich inresistant starch increases fat burning by 20% to 25% all day long. In addition, slow-digesting resistant starch can stay in thegastrointestinal tract for longer times, keeping you fuller for longer. To lose weight, eat sweet potatoes that are cooked and cooled, whichincreases the resistant starch content.FAO and WHO has pointed out: "Thediscovery of resistant starch is one of the most important results of recentresearch on the relationship between carbohydrates and health. Q10 What are the roles ofmicroorganism in insulin production? A10 Ken Saladin Formerprofessor of histology (microscopic anatomy)Mar 11 In the early decades of insulintherapy, medical insulin was extracted from pig pancreases. That raised problems of allergy as well as forsome orthodox Jews and Muslims with taboos (treif and haram) againstconsumption of pork products. (There is some debate and exception, I think, forinjected drugs not falling within these religious dietary laws, but I won’t gointo that.) When recombinant DNA wasinvented in the 1970s (subject of the 1978 Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine) and patented in 1980, the first commercial use of thistechnology was to make insulin—pioneered by the Genentech and Eli Lillycompanies. This means the human insulingene is inserted into the DNA of bacteria (E. coli); these transgenic bacteriamultiply rapidly in industrial vats of incubated culture medium; and every timea bacterial cell transcribes this gene, it makes a molecule of human insulin. The recombinant bacteria are now cultured inindustrial-scale vats like these and insulin purified from the culture medium. All the above QA are from Quora website on 23-03- 2022.
