Q1 What are the benefits of eatingsprouted beans? Are there any risks? A1 World Health's,Diploma D.ED from SaiMohan Collage22h Health benefits of sprouts Loaded with fiber: Most of this fiber is insoluble fiber,which means to does not dissolve in your stomach. instead, it acts as aprebiotic & feeds the good bacteria in your intestines. Power packed with protein reduces cholesterolcleanses the body: sprouts help in boosting the immune system and cleanses thebody. They chlorophyll in sprouts is helpful in removing the toxins from thecells and lymphatic system. The enzymes in sprouts ease the digestion processthat also helps to get rid of toxins. There enzymes increase the metabolism ofthe body and helps in releasing large energy. ***Sports also run a risk of carrying food borneillnesses like E. Coil and salmonella, the problem of food poisoning die tobacteria can also appear 12 to 72 hours after eating sprouts. also with thatduring the process of germinating, there are different chemical changeshappening to the components and many of which are partially processed and areimmature. As a result, they are only partially digested with causes heavinessof abdomen, cramps in lower abdomen, flatulence and also constipation. Avoidgiving raw sprouts to kids, pregnant women, breastfeeding mothers, people withweek digestion, (elderly), people with weak immunity. My note- ***It means we should eat sproutsin small quantity only Q2 What is the specialty of the Vistadomecoaches of the Indian Railways?

Q3 Is there anything that goes on during asurgery that would surprise people who don't work in the medical field? A3 Dinesh R P,Consultant Pediatrician/PICU Incharge at Apollo Hospitals (2022–present)Mon One of the biggestadvancements in modern evidence based medicine is that the patientdoesn't know anything what happens during surgery. Of course, this causes thepeople to have curiosity of what actually happens inside. Different types of anesthesia Not all anesthesiais the same, there arebroadly two types of anesthesia. The first type is when the patient isconscious and the second type is when the patient is completely unconscious. If the patient is unconscious,usually multiple medications will be given one among which can cause paralysisof the respiratory muscles. Since the respiratory muscles are paralysed,normal breathing cannot happen, so artificial breathing via ventilator isgiven. A tube is put into the air passage way and the tube is connected to theventilator to keep the person alive and breathing. Anesthesiologists can't just relax Contrary to popularbeliefs that once the anesthesia is given, the anesthetist can just relax onceanesthesia is given. Duringsurgery, they will be monitoring all the vitals including heart rate, bloodpressure, respiratory rate, oxygen saturations, carbon dioxide levels and anyunwanted movements. Usually the medications given to stop feelingthe pain wears off after a set duration, so additional doses of medication hasto be supplemented. Anotherthing that anesthesiologists should watch out for blood loss, depending on thevolume of blood loss, additional fluids or blood products will be given. Time out checklist Before starting thesurgery, all the members in the operation theatre will introduce themselvesalong with designation. Then the surgery planned, indication of surgery, nameof patient along with checking the name tag on the patient will be done.Additional information will be provided by the anesthesiologist and the surgeonif required. Lots of blood vessels are cut A lot of small arteries and veins are going to be cutthrough during surgery. If the vessel is bleeding for more than 5 -10 seconds,those are stopped by employing various methods.There is going to be blood loss as well. No surgery happens without bloodloss (minor or major) The smell of burning flesh All the people inthe operating room will smell this because the surgeon uses somethingknown as cautery. Depending on how it's setup, electric current passes throughthe instrument and can either be used to cut through flesh or stop bleedingvessels. The smell of burning flesh comes whenever it's being used. I'vebeen exposed to this since 2009 and still can't get used to it. Many of the surgeries are very boring The experiencedsurgeons, especially anyone with more than 5 years of experience would havedone multiple similar surgeries. They know when to anticipate problems and whento relax. So, most ofthe times, they will be talking to the assistant surgeon or nurse about nonmedical related issues. They will concentrate during the trickyparts of the surgery and go back to talking non medical issues during routineparts of the surgery. The deathly silence or minimal talk ismaintained only for the the rare and complicated surgeries. Most boring tasks are given to juniors The most boring tasks like stitching the skin back up postsurgery and holding retractors/limbs are given to the junior most doctors.Whether government or private hospitals, the work described above are given tothe junior most doctors. Sign out Once the surgery is done, all the details of surgery arediscussed, any specimen taken will be labelled, allgauze and instrument count are done. Post anesthesia The anesthesiologist will remove the airway device ifplaced after confirming that the patient can breathe on their own.The vitals described above will continue to be monitored for the next 4–12hours depending on the surgery and the anesthesiologist. Generally a longer and morecomplicated surgery will require a longer post operative monitoring.Some may even be shifted to the ICU if there are complications that are to beexpected over 24 hours. My note- A very informative post. I recollect Mr Rajaram’sresponse once about the blood oozing out during surgery and one should not beshocked if permitted inside operation theatre.

A4 Premjeet Yadav, Sat JRD Tata was bornin France to a French mother and an Indian father He spent his entirechildhood in France and occasionally visited Bombay (currently Mumbai) - wherehis father worked.

A5 Arjun Shankar,Software DevelopmentEngineer - 1 at Sparklin (2021–present)Updated 2y My Father and Ireturned to New Delhi after vacationing in Kerala. We arrived at NizamuddinRailway Station and at the Exit, there were Auto walas or Tuk-Tuk waiting for people. My father was infront of me and I at the back was carrying all the luggage. Finally when wewere at the exit the auto walas saw us and 7-8 people started asking where wewanted to go. My fatherhas that Malayalam-Hindi accent so probably they thought we were new to NewDelhi. When my father said the destination everyone quoted the price ofbetween Rs. 380-400. My father tried tonegotiate but they said ‘sir apke liye 400 bole hai varna to 500 se kam koi nhilega yaha’( For you sir we are asking a price of Rs. 400 otherwise nobody willgo for less than Rs. 500). While all of them were Jumping on my father I was atthe back watching all this. I put down my luggage and took out the phone from my pocket and openedthe UBER app. I put down thedestination on the app and I used a coupon that was available. I don’t rememberhow much %off Coupon that was but when I finally saw the UBER fare it shocked me. It was RS. 180. The autowalas werelooting us for fricking Rs. 200. I showed the UBER price to my father and hesaid to autowalas Rs. 150 me chaloge to manunga(‘I’ll agree if you can comedown to Rs. 150). The Autowalas wereconfused as to what the hell is my father trying to say. One of them said: sirapke liye hum 500 se 400 pe aye ab aap 150 bol rahe hai(we came down from 500to 400 and now you’re asking for 150)? My father thenshowed them the UBER price and they were dumb struck. Some of them came down to250 but my father was adamant on Rs. 150. Finally when my father refused them they all left us. The autowalas arefacing losses because of their unfair practice of looting people. My note- In suburban areas they are very helpful.Most of them are personal, give phone numbers and come to home receiving the call to pick up. Of course I agree theircharging is more. They come and pick up, stop and wait wherever we want,carry things from shops to auto home andnever demand an amount. They ask to give what we feel.They are very much sure, we will give more than they expect. Yesterday for3.5 KM up and 3.5 KM down, attending four banks and a shop I paid Rs 400-00because waiting time and travel time came to 2 hours. Q6 What are the weirdest places on earth? A6 Giorgio Taietti, Explorer rather thantourist4y If you’re European and go grocery shopping, you’ll noticethat around half of the fruits and vegetables available at any supermarket arefrom Spain. No shocker here, as the country’sMediterranean climate favors year-round farming activities. Yet, what mostpeople don’t know is that most of the harvesting comes from an area of justunder 1,000 km² called Poniente Almeriense, also known as the Garden of Europe, that covers aflat coastal territory just south of the popular resort town of Almería. Why am I mentioningsome Spanish farming area in an answer about the “strangest place on Earth”, you may ask? Thetruth is, this area is completely covered in greenhouses, to the point thatSpanish people refer to it as mar de plástico (sea of plastic). It all started in1963, when the area, known as Campo de Dalías, started hosting the firstintensive farming facilities. By 2000, the area had been entirely covered in plastic greenhouses.The two main controversies this practice is facing concern the near-slaveconditions of workers, mostly African, and the pollution it produces, asdiscarded plastic waste ends up in the Mediterranean, heavily impacting themarine environment. Spain is the third-most visited country in the world. Itgathered 75.6 million tourists last year alone. Yet, I bet nobody would expectsuch place to exist just a few minutes away from some of the most popularvacation resorts! Q7 Should I take bath twice a day and keepmyself healthy and clean or bath only once a day and save a bucket of water? A7 Drnagarajus Donthula, Studied MedicalDoctors & Dermatology at Post Graduate Institute of Medical Education andResearch, Chandigarh (PGIMER)5y We do bathe generally to keep skin in good condition But the frequencyrequired solely to keep it in good condition is variable depending on the climate andlocation and occupation And our body has generalsenses called common sense that calculates all these things from changes inskin by above parameters and decides how frequently one should bathe... But minimumfrequency should be 3–7 times per week depending on climate and occupation.. And weather to savewater and discard ur skin and body in good health at the cost of bucket waterdepending on the scarcity in ur area is up-to u.. My note- In summer in Chennai, most take bath two times, other days once irrespectiveof water availability, since they will be sweating other wise Q8 Why do nuclear power plants have suchwide chimneys? A8 Ákos Németh, Interest about differentenergy sources, energy effectivity Updated 3y Chimneys? You mean these things? These are not chimneys.They are called cooling towers. Large power plants produce huge amount of heat, but use up only about halfof it. They must release the remaining heat to avoid melting, so theyblow it into the environment. How do they release it? If there is a big enough river nearby, they use thewater. But if not, they build these big chimney-LIKE towers to release heat by EVAPORATING WATER.Yes, these chimneys release steam and vapor, not smoke or radiation. And whysuch big towers? The hot water raining down in the bottom section of the towercauses the air to heat up and start rising inside the tower, similar to why ahot air balloon rises. This “natural draft” pulls fresh air in through thezigzag openings at the bottom, which cools the falling water by evaporation,leaving the remaining pool of water at the bottom nice and cool for return tothe power plant. The towerneeds to be so big to allow the huge amount of air in that's required to coolthe huge amount of water heated by the plant. Water, in the amounts the power plants use it, is notcheap, also since it is highly purified. In most cases, it’s cheaper toreprocess it than to get more of it. Q9 Is it true that Albert Einstein oncesaid that Indians are biologically inferior? A9 Kanthaswamy Balasubramaniam, FormerChief Manager at Central Bank of India (1987–2017) Updated 2y Albert EinsteinsDiaries written between 1922 and 1923 when he travelled to places like Japan andChina and Colombo revealed that People from the Indian Subcontinent could be held back and have theirthinking backward due to the climate and the environment. In short he believed that People from the IndianSubcontinent (Could be Lankans, Pakistanis, Indians) were inferior due to theclimate of the place (Humid, Hot, Sweaty). Likewise he alsobelieved that the Chinese were a “Filthy” yet Industrious race of people whodid not use the table to eat but squatted to do the same. He expressedadmiration for the Japanese. Yet hisclosest sources say Einstein was simply irritated with the trip, all the traveland the constant sweating and humidity and merely expressed his irritation inhis notes A Colleague of mine went to Hong Kong and without properguidance could not find a vegetarian restaurant and ended up cursing theChinese for 2 hours straight calling them every racist name in the planet evenclaiming that if he were PM he would make a law that ensured Chinese wereforced to eat Rasam Rice daily if they came to India. Once he foundhis restaurant, he ate his meal and was comfortable - he promptly changed. Things like hunger,irritation, sweating, crowds and travel - cause a lot of us to becomeunreasonable and prejudiced. Einstein worked with a lot of Indian Scientists. Heworked with Mr Satyendranath Bose for whom he had tremendous respect for. TheirBose Einstein Condensate was a landmark in Quantum Physics. By the way theabove image is photoshopped. Thanks to two quorans who identified it. Idownloaded it from google. It looked authentic to me. Its talented work though.Pity such talent goes to faking than creating original art. Einstein personally met Rabindranath Tagore and discussedPhilosophy with him. He wrote in his later diariesthat Tagore was like a Jewish Rabbi which was a huge praise from Einstein. Einstein also had more than 70 research students whobecame faculty and top men of their fields. Hehad 22 Foreign Research Students from the Subcontinent and Japan, higher thanany other European Professor in USA who had come to US post 1924. He had 5 AfricanAmerican Research Students - the highest among his fellows. So iseriously doubt that Einstein was a racist who hated Indians or Chinese. I just think hewas irritated with the whole trip and vented his feelings in his diaries. Alternately maybehe was a racist but after looking at the horrors of Nazism - he changed hispersonality. Either way - whenhe died - Nobody remembers him being a racist whatsoever. Q10 Which is the most delayedtrain of Indian Railways? A10 Prashant Tiwari, Indian RailwaysEnthusiast Updated 3y In the past decade, the Indian Railways had reportedlyboasted an average punctuality score of 80 percent and above.In fact, in 2015-16, official data on punctuality indices show that the figurehad hit a high of 92.32 per cent. But things have markedly turned for the worsesince last year. Nearly 30 per cent trains ran late in the financial year2018-19, making it the Indian Railways worst punctuality performance in threeyears, the punctuality rate of mail and express trains fell to 71.39 percent,down from 76 percent previously. Making matters worse, According to TheEconomic Times, on time performance of trains has dipped further to 65 per centin the past three months. The report added that currently several long-route trainsare running up to 20 hours late, causing massive inconvenience to the millionsof people travelling on the world's busiest public transportation network daily. The premierChamparan Humsafar train, launched by Prime Minister Narendra Modi to celebrate100 years of Mahatma Gandhi's Champaran Satyagraha in April 2018, on average runs 12 hoursbehind schedule. In 2018, there were21 critical divisions across the country's railway network boasting apunctuality rate of less than 80 percent. Among them, the worst performingdivisions were Allahabad division with a score of around 48 percent and MumbaiCentral (60.9 percent). There are so many trains running with a delay of 8–10hours daily but if you ask for the most delayed train then there is no cleardata available . Many websites have publisheddifferent train names.But the most delayed train I have ever seen was HimgiriExp. in 2017. During a journey in 2017, I found that Howrah boundHimgiri Exp. was running with a delay of 56 hours followed by Patna boundArchana Exp. With a delay of 52 hours . This blown mymind and I tried to know the reason behind this . After asking so many people Icame to know that bothtrains were running through a diverted route . The route wasdiverted from Moradabad Junction via New Delhi- Kanpur -Lucknow instead ofBarielly-Lucknow. It wasn’t like theyachieved this milestone in a single day, it took few trips to reach thatmilestone . Later next two trips were cancelled to bring back those trains ontime. I would like toknow which is the most delayed train you have ever seen . My note- While in Trivandrum, I have learnt TVM- Jammutawiexpress use to be late motr than 24 hours late, All the above QA are from Quora website on 28-12- 2022.
