“Mike Organ Lives in Hastings, East Sussex, UK (2012–present)Apr 25 <https://www.quora.com/Are-people-working-in-food-factories-allowed-to-eat-the-food-for-free-For-example-can-a-KitKat-factory-worker-pick-up-a-bar-and-eat-it-If-not-is-there-a-punishment/answer/Mike-Organ> It funny you should use a KitKat as an example. I worked briefly for Rowntree's in York where they had 4 KitKat lines. To my knowledge there is no such thing as a KitKat factory they all produce various product along with KitKats. When I first arrived for the interview the smell in the bike sheds was overwhelming. At that time they were manufacturing Fruit Polo’s and so that's all I could smell. I made a remark to one of the other cyclists arriving and she looked at me and told me after a while you don’t notice it. So I got the job and duly turned up the following day (yes back then it was not unknown to start work immediately). My boss in maintenance took me on a tour. Our first port of call was the KitKat room a huge place with three of the four lines. All the workers bar a few were women. One of the jobs was to sit on a high chair and watch the biscuits coming off the line and ejecting any that were damaged or had not taken a full coat of chocolate. If you ate anything you would be disciplined if not sacked, not because it was theft, but because it was unhygienic. One of these inspectors was a huge woman who barely fitted in the chair. I made a joke to my boss that maybe they should let her work somewhere else to lose weight. He looked at me as if I was mad and said “after you have worked here for a few weeks, you won’t want to eat chocolate it will make you sick”, he was right. I loved chocolate still do but for those 6 months at Rowntree's and for a year or two after I just couldn't even look at it with the intention of eating it. My girlfriend worked in the Rowntree Print Shop and she would buy Outers (large wholesale boxes) which if I remember were about 1/4 the wholesale price, we needed a card which allowed a ration but that's a joke the ration per week was enough to keep a chocoholic happy for a year. Anyway, those rejected KitKats went into big blue bins and were then taken to a different area of the factory to be processed and the chocolate extracted and sold to believe it or not McVie's the competition to make chocolate digestives; at that time Rowntree's didn't make any products that could use such chocolate. Those bins were open and if we wanted, we could take some for tea in the refectory. Believe me that bin could sit there for a month and not a single finger would disturb it. When you work in a chocolate factory you become immune from the smell and almost allergic to the products. I am not sure if this applies to all food factories but it certainly does for chocolate. Oh, and the most bizarre thing I ever saw was one of the guys who worked in the chocolate processing rooms. He would pocket a handful of coco beans which are really bitter and when he left work pop one in his mouth to suck like a boiled sweet. I tried one and spat it out it was disgusting, but then some people chew tobacco so live and let live. Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Q2 This is also a truth one to know: “Livor Mortis (Lividity) is the settling of blood in body due to gravity. Livor Mortis starts to develop 2-4 hours after death, becomes non-fixed or blanchable up to *8-12 hours* after death and fixed or non-blanchable after 8-12 hours from the time of death. Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Q3 Mr G finds fault; this Q is nth time appearing and I did say differently all the N times; but neither he will verify not invoke his learning or read, but err and go to his ejaman for saliva blessings. Murudeeswara was once; now it is Sri rangam Ranganatha Temple 258 feet taller than Murudeeswara. Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Q6 Some quacks fanaticism may blabber unaware of parsi who are Agni worshippers not as a Hindu, broadcasted by the west. But Paras are original Indians Hindus Rig Vedis, who after the Mahabharatha war as soldiers and people migrated from North towards the west and touched Iran and Greece; after Muslim persecutions returned back to Gujarat and later spread over. Parsi is not from Persia but the vice versa. They worship Agni and many verses of Zend Avesta and Jews of Israel found the verse so f the Rig Veda. Vide Maha Periava in Deivathin Kural. IG a Hindu from Kashmir married the Firoz a Parsi who was a member pf Parliament, by our customary wedding rites. After all some one claims Brahmin hood living in a foreign soil, one who existed here. cannot be ignored. But whether one claims so or not, is their individualism. So many of us today though bear that Brahmin stamp, still have the doubts on Vedam and non-followers of, except the rituals, which is not a Brahmin hood. IG by rights a Hindu; west may say since there was/is no caste among the Parsis, and Hindu is ridden with the castes, Parsi is not a Hindu; this is incorrect; because caste is not at all Hinduism; and Hinduism is the British word of ID. Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Q9 MEA will get it back because sunak may or foreign affairs can. After all Idols are pouring in back why not the Kohinoor crown? Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Q10, I have been telling often, half baked knowledge and the prostrating expressions of knowledge are wrong signals. Buddha was born by caesarean and the answer goes blab la. Indian religious books describe the birth of Buddha through his mother’s right flank. Brahma was believed to be born through the umbilicus of his mother. Sage Sushruta, a founder of ancient Hindu medicine mentions the importance of performing a post-mortem caesarean section in his medical treatise “Sushruta Samhita”. There is a lot of evidence to suggest that knowledge and practice of this type of procedure was practiced in ancient Greece, ancient Rome and even ancient India. It is these early practices, from this part of the world, which are thought to have formed the foundations for what is known today in the modern Western medicine as the “caesarean section”. Sushruta requested Gargachgarya to stay near Devaki‟s head-end and administer the inhalant sedative which was required in order to make her numb to the pain of the operation. While Sushruta and Vasudeva carefully washed their hands, Garga gave Devaki a few inhalations of the narcotic. Soon Devaki was snoring and the surgically adept anchorite started the procedure after cleaning the mother‟s abdomen and spreading sterilized sheets of cotton over it. Within a short while, the silence of the night was shattered by the lusty cries of a new born baby who was immediately handed over to Gargacharya. Gargacharya had one look at the baby and gasped in surprise. The boy was perfectly formed and coloured like a sky blue Lotus.

All the basic principles of surgery such as planning precision, hemostasis, and perfection find important places in Sushruta's writings on the subject. He has described various reconstructive procedures for different types of defects. His works are compiled as Sushrutaa Samhita. He describes 60 types of upkarma for treatment of wound, 120 surgical instruments and 300 surgical procedures, and classification of human surgeries in eight categories.
