Pranam Q1 Indian western toilets are unlike that of USA and Europe as we don't use tissues to wipe. So for the west the question may be relevant and many more like, freezing taps etc; even in Kashmir taps do not freeze. archive yahoo has in store many western groups where similar Q & A are tabled. Let's make our best progress. Q2 Eating like a glutton is bad; eating small quantum with an interval of 2 hours is smart; eating anything is bad whether small or large quantum, the food one eats , must suit him. All food is not for all. Even for the diabetics, plantain is not bad, provided it does suit the system; the guvva is supposed to be better for the diabetics but it has caused collateral damages to many. FOOD IS MEDICINE AND MEDICINE IS ALSO FOOD. Q3 Pain and pleasure are the same; it is the sensory makeup as tuned to the brain by the individuals; there are many cases where even under duress of unfathomable pain stings, people had fulfilled the actions that were needed and then fell down, Even Ramana endured the pain as talking to some,when surgeons were operating on his spine. The measurement of pain in delivery born by women is multiples of normal pain where one screams. Tolerance is a quality Pl listen to Ramana words in the video on pain and sufferings: https://youtu.be/m-weGhH77q0 ( west does not know about it). Q4 Spirulina is a good food if taken in a limited quantum; pepper is good but taken at an exorbitant quantum can be worse than the mirchi. Q5 Physical strain and old age does cause knee pain; the former is misuse; the latter is long usage. Q6 All are old, only the stars; the distance it travelled and the nearness as we see , makes it new. We are trying to discover the vedas and say they are so new though all existed here. Q7 All biological terms have no sharp meaning at all; however the bio people take it as different in the sense that THAT WHICH IS GERMINATING OUT OF SOMETHING EVEN IT CAN BE MICROORGANISM FROM. MANY WORDS OF DARWIN HAS NO MEANING AT ALL. Q8 wow Q9 Is there any limitations on money? Q10 It’s conventional wisdom that three things in life are inevitable: death, taxes and smelly armpits. But the third trouble on that list, it turns out, only afflicts 98% of us. According to a group of researchers from the University of Bristol in the UK, 2 percent of people (at least in their survey) carry a rare version of the gene ABCC11 that prevents their armpits from producing an offensive odor.
The study, published yesterday in the *Journal of Investigative Dermatology <http://www.nature.com/jid/index.html>, *examined 6,495 British mothers who have been part of a longitudinal health study <http://www.bristol.ac.uk/alspac/> since they gave birth in either 1991 or 1992. About 2 percent—117 mothers, to be exact—had the gene, according to DNA analysis. Researchers have apparently known that this gene <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ABCC11> exists for some time, although most work <http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19383836> on it has focused on its connection to earwax: People with the rare gene variant are more likely to have “dry” earwax (as opposed to wet or sticky). Thus, one way to try figuring out if you’ve been blessed with stink-free armpits is to consider whether your earwax is uncommonly dry. It’s also been discovered that the non-stinky gene is more common in East Asian populations. Researchers still aren’t sure how the gene affects both earwax and sweat odor, but they believe it has to do with amino acid production. Rapidly growing bacteria give sweat its smelliness, and people with the rare gene variant appear to produce less of an amino acid that engenders bacteria growth. This particular study examined just how many of these remarkable individuals still wear deodorant despite their lucky genetic inheritance. Whether they knew that they carried the gene or not, people with the trait were less likely to wear deodorant or antiperspirant: 78% reported wearing it on all or most days, versus 95% of the others in the study. At some point in their lives, a decent proportion must have figured out that they really don’t need to wear these sorts of products to avoid stinking. Still, most of the people with the gene wake up everyday and apply deodorant, a trend the researchers chalk up to socio-cultural norms. They think their findings could save these people a little money and trouble and let them skip deodorant entirely. “These findings have some potential for using genetics in the choice of personal hygiene products,” Santio Rodriguez <http://www.bgel.genes.org.uk/santiagorodriguez.html>, the lead author, said in a statement <http://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2013-01/uob-ddw011513.php>. “A simple gene test might strengthen self-awareness and save some unnecessary purchases and chemical exposures for non-odour producers.” Hence ALL HUMAN CANNOT BE BRANDED AS SMELLY. ERRANEOUS DATA. *Olfactory receptors* (*ORs*), also known as *odorant receptors*, are chemoreceptors <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemoreceptor> expressed in the cell membranes <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cell_membrane> of olfactory receptor neurons <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olfactory_receptor_neuron> and are responsible for the detection of odorants <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Odorant> (for example, compounds that have an odor) which give rise to the sense of smell <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sense_of_smell>. Hence mosquitos do not have any special power as described. Aldehydes, ketones and carboxylic acids are some of the important classes of organic compounds containing carbonyl group. These are highly polar molecules.Therefore, they boil at higher temperatures than the hydrocarbons and weakly polar compounds such as ethers of comparable molecular masses. The lower members are more soluble in water because they form hydrogen bonds with water. The higher members, because of large size of hydrophobic chain of carbon atoms,are insoluble in water but soluble in common organic solvents. Aldehydes areprepared by dehydrogenation or controlled oxidation of primary alcohols and controlled or selective reduction of acyl halides. Aromatic aldehydes may also be prepared by oxidation of (i) methylbenzene with chromyl chloride or CrO3 in the presence of acetic anhydride, (ii) formylation of arenes with carbon monoxide and hydrochloric acid in the presence of anhydrous aluminium chloride, and (iii) cuprouschloride or by hydrolysis of benzal chloride. Ketones are prepared by oxidation of secondary alcohols and hydration of alkynes. Ketones are also prepared by reaction of acyl chloride with dialkyl cadmium. A good method for the preparation of aromatic ketones is the Friedel-Crafts acylation of aromatic hydrocarbons with acyl chlorides anhydrides. Both aldehydes and ketones can be prepared by ozonolysis of alkenes.Aldehydes and ketones undergo nucleophilic addition reactions onto the carbonyl group with a number of nucleophiles such as, HCN, NaHSO3, alcohols (or diols),in which the carboxyl group acts as a deactivating and meta-directing group. They however, do not undergo Friedel-Crafts reaction(because the carboxyl group is deactivating and the catalyst aluminium chloride (Lewis acid) gets bonded to the carboxyl group). Methanoic acid is used in rubber, textile, dyeing, leather and electroplating industries. Ethanoic acid is used as a solvent and as vinegar in the food industry. Hence ALDEHYDES HAVE THE LEAST CAUSE OF ODOUR REACTIONS. THE CHEMICAL ANALYSIS OF THE BODY WOULD REFLECT THE HIGH AND LOW AND THUS ,MUCH ALDEHYDES FOR SOME MAY BE A CAUSE BUT THE WHOLE CAUSE.
