Q1 Why do ceiling fans get slow withage? A1 Gopala Krishnan, Former AssistantGeneral Manager 1996-2004 at Department of Telecom (1966–2004) Just now With age theefficiency of motor decreases in simple words. Slightly more technicalexplanation is induction power reduces. But age depends on use of the fan. I have all fans in my home in perfectworking condition installed in 2006, even after 15 years. I had a fan complimentedto me in 1986.It was working from 1986 to 2004(18 years). In 2004 it was packed on myresettling from Trivandrum to Chennai. Till six months back viz 2006 to 2021 for 15 years it wasin pack. During recent painting of my home, it was taken, foundworking and provided in a work area in upstairs. So agedepend on use and quality of fan. Q2 What culture shocks can a NorthIndian face in South India? A2 Rajender Singh Rana, Social Service(2016–present)Updated Sep 11 Six times I visited South india. Bengaluru, Hubli,Tirupati, Chennai, Rameshwaram, Kanyakumari , Kanchipuram and pondicherry. In Chennai Ivisited many temples, markets, museums and the biggest library too. There weremany myths that South will be quite different. Astonishingly I found thousandsof good points and good behaviour too that it's very difficult to answer yourquestion. The onlyculture shock was that why we were so ignorant about South and why we can'tspeak local languages there. I didn't find any problem incommunication. Everywhere I found good discipline and good behaviour. I canexplain countless good things but absence of cultural shock. I will not sayeverything is ok there. Butif many things are not good in North India the ratio of such things will bevery less in South. My note- Asouth Indian visiting North also have many plus points to tell about NorthIndia. This is with respect to my experience in Jabalpur, Gazhiabad and New Delhi. Q3 What is the difference betweenvinegar and lemon juice? Which one is a natural source of acetic acid? A3 Lucia Garcia, Worked at Hospitals12h There are many kinds of vinegar, and its raw materialsinclude rice, wheat, sorghum, corn, apples, grapes, malt, potatoes or any othersugary food. Vinegar is mainly made by fermenting these raw materials. Vinegar containsabout 6% of natural acetic acid, which is the food with the most natural aceticacid. The EuropeanUnion requires vinegar to contain at least 5% acetic acid. Lemon juices are rich in citric acid, but lemon juice donot contain acetic acid. As the saying goes,"eat less salt and more vinegar". Now, vinegaris increasingly seen as a health food. Studies have shown that vinegar has the effect oflowering blood sugar, blood pressure and blood lipids. The researchersasked 200 adults to consume 15 milliliters of vinegar (about one tablespoon),30 milliliters of vinegar (about two tablespoons), or an ineffective "oralsolution" every day. After 2 weeks, theresearchers found that peoplewho drank 15ml and 30ml of vinegar had lower blood sugar, blood pressure andblood lipids. Experts believethat natural acetic acid is the main cause of vinegar's health promotion.Acetic acid also has the functions of anti-inflammatory and bactericidal,softening blood vessels and so on.

Q5 My blood sugar was 91 when I went tobed and exactly doubled to 182 when I got up. Do you have any comments? A5 Alok A ,BS in Biotechnology,University of Mumbai (Graduated 2014)Sep 11 Well, here I feelyou have type II Diabetes Mellitus. There is a bodily mechanism named gluconeogenesis, thatis causing this early morning spike in your blood sugar. This is dueto the glycogen stored in your liver being converted to glucose early morningsince the sugar levels drop. All beings have this mechanism active but in Diabetes Mellitus type 2cells become insulin resistant, so unable to uptake glucose from the blood,so when your blood glucose levels drop below a certain point your body isactively converting glycogen to glucose but unable to absorb it resulting inhigh morning sugars. Thedoctors may also prescribe you medication for glucagon supression, to be takenat night along with metformin. Here are mysuggestions 1- Go for a high protein, leafy vegetable diet. Haveless rice, potatoes, sodas even non-sweetened ones, junk food, red meat, fat. 2- Try intermittent fasting by consulting a gooddietician. This may reduce the amount of glycogen in your body. Do not referonline videos. 3- Finish your dinner by 9.45 PM if you sleep at 12:00AM, do not feel hungry before bed. 4- Go for runs,jogging and gym. 5- Have diabeticwhey protein. 6- Notify yourdoctor and ask/ inform them if, you can take either otc Vitamin B complex orVitamin D3 at night.That can hopefully control your blood sugars. My note- Generally doctors decide after observingfasting, PP and random for 1-2 weeksbefore confirming a person having type 2 diabetics. Sleeplessnights, anxiety, tension etc. can increase blood sugar levels in a person Q6 What are some natural substitutesfor sunscreen? A6 Plug N Play Biosciences Pvt Ltd, Organicand natural skin care regime Sep 7 They say that the sun is the nourisher of life on earth.Many even believe that the sun is the primary reason behind life on earth.During winters, it feels great to soak in all the sunlight and make ourselveswarm. But during the summers, the same sun tends to burn our skin with nomercy! But given therising levels of pollution these days, the sun is equally marauding even duringcertain winter days. Hence, given the need to achieve protection from UV radiation andsunburns, many of us are forced to apply sunscreens that help protect our skinfrom sun damage. But therein liesthe hidden problem. Most synthetic sunscreens contain chemicals like Oxybenzoneand others. Whilstthese chemicals do offer good sunscreen protection, they also tend to getabsorbed through our skin into our tissues and blood vessels.Prolonged exposure to such harmful chemicals is thought to be the main cause ofskin cancers and many other skin issues in the longer term. So, is there nonatural alternative to these synthetic sunscreens that offer similar UVprotection? The answeris Peppermint oil. Soothes sunburn dueto its anti-inflammatory and cooling properties Peppermint oil is a known skin rejuvenator and itmakes our skin feel very refreshed. Itslows down microbial activity on our skin thus helping reduce pimples. Sesame oil contains various phenolic compoundsthat protect our skin from the ill effects of UV rays, environmentalpollutants, and other toxins. Sesame oil is also rich in multiple fatty acidswhich act as moisturizers and keep our skin soft, supple, and well hydrated. When blended, the resultant oil is ideal for skinbrightening, glowing skin, and the oil for younger-looking skin. On the other hand,Sesame oil is rich in several phenolic compounds and fatty acids. When the twoare mixed in a proportion of 1:15, the result is a potent natural sunscreenthat offers effective protection from UV radiation. Simply apply it wheneveryou decide to step out in the sun. However, make sure that both oils are organic and madeusing the cold-press method because heat application onthem beyond a point tends to destroy or change their delicate ingredientstructure.

What kind of people travel throughAC Tier 1 since it costs nearly in the range of air ticket? A10 Akash Dutta, SYSTEM ENGINEER at TCSDigital (2019–present)Fri We had booked a ticket in AC Tier 2 of Sealdah Rajdhani(12314) from New Delhi to Sealdah but we got a auto upgradation to AC 1 Tier asour ticket was in waitling list for AC Tier 2 and seats in AC Tier 1 werevacant (Dont forget to tick on the auto upgradationoption while booking tickets) We got the sms 4 hours before the departure and we wereoverwhelmed with it. Our boarding was at16:50 from New Delhi Railway Station (NDLS). First of all, wewere given soup on foldable tables- Then at around 8,we were served with dinner- After that we sawthat comfort of passengers are taken with utmost care as elevating steps arepresent to climb the upper seats. In morning , wewere served this breakfast-Since our train was 3 hours late, we got khichdi asadditional meal-(Even Khichdi tastes amazing in this cultinery set) I generally found businessmen(not getting any reservation in other classes as same day flight tickets stillcosts much as compared to AC Tier 1 tickets) , people with pets (booking thewhole compartment), aged people with medical issues travelling in the AC tier 1class. My note-Is not it a foolish arrangement, a man in w/l is given upgrading and onewho booked earlier and in confirmed birth as 1,2 are not upgraded. Nowadays all passengers ticks for upgradation. Least envy on this passenger, but the foolish arrangementof railway. I have experiencedthe same in Alleppy- Chennai express, those lately booked got upgraded to 2ndAC that too lower berth. I had booked for myself and wife (78and73) very early were allotted upper berths??!! All the above QA are from Quora website on 17-09- 2022. Quora answers need not be 100% correct answers .
