it.Gopalakrishnan

Sir,Thank you for the response on the QA with added information about China
gift on new year day.
I really like your response to points written in brief.
There is a member who copy paste anything relating to a word in QA as response.
Most will become impatient except his Yes Yes followers . Most never bother to

Dear folks
A3:- "In China, it is customary to give red envelopes filled with money as
gifts during the Chinese New Year."
Not quite so.
The miniature bright red envelopes, called Ang Paus, are not filled with money.
Instead, inserted in the envelopes which are not sealed, are 12 yuan to
represent good wishes and prosperity for the 12 months of the coming Chinese
New Year.
In Singapore and in Malaysia 12 dollars or 12 ringgit respectively are
inserted. In Indonesia, where one US dollar equals some 150,000 rupiah, two
100,000-rupiah notes are inserted.
According to ancient custom, two red oranges should accompany each envelope.
The gifts are given only to unmarried children, no matter what their ages, by
elders in the family. So, not everyone gets these Ang Paus during Chinese New
Year.

CULTURAL QA 03-2023-26
Q1 What is the difference between'electrical' and 'electronic'?
Should one choose one over the other accordingto context? If so, which is
better to use for what purpose?
A1 Slack-Man, Manufacturing EngineerUpdated Mar 16
Here is one related definition from Britannica:
Electricalengineering is the branch dealing with “heavy current”—that is,
electric lightand power systems and apparatuses—whereas electronics engineering
deals withsuch “light current” applications as telephone and radio
communication,computers, radar, and automatic control systems.
So, in other words,electrical devices could simply refer to any application of
electricity, butprimarily those with no active devices.
So, if all progress stopped in 1900, we would still havelights, fans, electric
ranges, basic refrigerators and automotive ignitionsystems. For communication
we would still have the telegraph, or even the basictelephone.
Even the 1890census used something called the Hollerith Tabulator that used
punched cards tocollect data (and greatly reduced the time to complete the
complete it)
In this context we could refer to our home wiring as“electrical wiring”
Electronic as aterm became associated with active devices, first the vacuum
tube and then laterthe transistor (and related integrated circuit).
Now, electronicstechnology to a degree developed in parallel to our electrical
technology. Radio and other communicationslargely defined “electronics” for
some time.
Of course, electronics depended largely on the electricalgrid for power (you
plugged in a radio, forexample) but it took some time before electronic devices
were used to controlthe electrical system.
Take automobilesfor example… cars used generators and basic regulators to
supply power tocharge a battery, as well as a simple switch (points) for the
ignition system.These were not replaced with solid state system until the 70’s
and early 80’s.Of course, now such systems are computerized.
Q2 What are some of the must-visittemples in Tamil Nadu?

My note- Many good information
Q4 What surprised you today?
A4 Sameeksha, Sharing from personalexperiences and learning. Mar 22
Two days back I saw an egg lying in my balcony in onecorner.
I was surprised atfirst. But then I understood that it's of a pigeon as they
keep visiting mybalcony daily. Seeing the egg, I thought of giving it
protection because eggsneed warmth before hatching.
Within a range of35 to 40.5°C (84.5 - 104.9°F) there is the possibility of eggs
hatching.
Thus, I first moved the egg into a plastic basedcover and surrounded it with
twigs brought by the pigeon as is visible in thepicture above.
By evening the pigeon came and sat on the egg butcouldn't sit properly so it
moved the egg out ofthe plastic and tried to adjust but it couldn't. And how do
I know it couldn't?It's because she must be brooding (sitting on the egg)
during this periodconsistently.
So, next I didwas to make an artificial nest out of paper and clothes. And i
placed the eggin it.
I placed the twigsat the front so the mommy pegion could use it in the way she
wants to.
Next morning, Iobserved and found this.She layed one more egg. Actually
Igoogled and found out that pigeons lay eggs in pair. Also, there can be gap
of1 to 3 days between the period of laying each egg.
Next, she keptsitting on the eggs comfortably and she has been brooding since
morning. I feelso overwhelmed about the fact that she liked the artificial nest
and she is noteven afraid of me when I go a bit near to capture pictures.
For me it's anoverwhelming experience to let nature go with the flow.
Some facts about pigeons :
The male provides nesting material and guards thefemale and the nest.
Pigeons are highly dependent on humans toprovide them with food and sites for
roosting, loafing, and nesting.
It is estimated that there are 400 million pigeonsworldwide and that the
population is growing rapidly together with increased urbanization.
The young are fed pigeon milk, a liquid/solidsubstance secreted in the crop of
the adult (both male and female) which isregurgitated.
All I would say is,‘I love watching the sunrise and sunset and the sky, the
birds.’I love mothernature
Will update soonwhen the baby pigeons will hatch out. Spread love and kindness.
Edit :I alreadyknow about the health issues associated with pigeons and which
is why I useprecautions like mask and hand gloves whenever in need in order to
stay safe.
Q5 How did ancient Egyptians cut a rockmountain into three-ton stones
without dynamite?
A5 Jason Almendra, I took "Greek& Latin Roots of English" in college1y
How did ancientEgyptians cut a rock mountain into 3-ton stones without
dynamites (sic)?
Here's an ancientsecret among quarrymen. That’s only passed down from father to
son. You onlyuse dynamite. If you plan to make gravel, not intact stones.
So ancient quarry men lit fires in a row on a bare rocksurface.
They quench it with water and/or vinegar. Theychip away the weakened material
with diorite balls. It's a type of stone harderthan granite.
The dolerite ballon the left was found inside the Great Pyramid along with that
copper artifact.
They repeat the heating, quenching and chipping untilthey have a line of holes.
They inserted dried wooden wedges into the holesand poured water into the
cavities. The wood absorbs the water and swells. Thus cracking ablock. This
would be trimmed down into a building block.
To trim the stones, the Egyptians imported copper fromCyprus. They drilled a
line of holes in the stone.Then they inserted copper wedges into the holes and
hammered them in a series.In one hole there would be two feathers and one plug
in-between.
Modern quarrymenuse diamond wire saws and water to cut through rock.
My note- I have heard in India the quarry menpoured extract of a secret plant
and after a time the granite stone simplysplit along the line. We at present
have no knowledge of the plant. Heard in mycollege days(1964)
Q6 What are the most mind-blowing factsabout New York City?
A6 Mark Rhysand, Studied at Occultism Sun
The iconic Empire State Building was built in just oneyear and 45 days, and was
the tallest building inthe world until 1971.
In the 19thcentury, some New Yorkers used to drink "swamp tea," which was made
by steepingtea leaves in water from the Collect Pond, a former body of water
that was usedas a dumping ground and eventually filled in.
The oldestbuilding in New York City is the Wyckoff Farmhouse Museum, which was
built in1652 and is located in Brooklyn.
In the 18th century,New York City was the second largest slave market in North
America, afterCharleston, South Carolina.
Central Park was originally designed to be a"greensward," or a flat expanse of
lawn that wouldprovide a peaceful retreat from the bustling city.
The first traffic light in New York City was installed in1920 at the
intersection of Fifth Avenue and 34th Street.
The Brooklyn Bridge was opened in 1883 and was the longestsuspension bridge in
the world at the time. It was alsothe first bridge to use steel cable wire
instead of iron.
The American Museum of Natural History has ahidden bunker inits basement that
was used during World War II to store precious artifacts anddocuments.
The High Line, a park built on an old elevatedrailway line in Manhattan, was
originally built in the 1930s to keep dangerousfreight trains off the street
level.
The New York Stock Exchange was founded in 1792under a buttonwood tree on Wall
Street, which is why it is sometimes called the"Buttonwood Agreement."
My note- For those who have not gone to USA andlived there for long time, these
could be curious information.
Q7 What are the benefits of having arefrigerator in our home? What
would happen if we didn’t use one in our house?
A7 Gopala Krishnan,Former AssistantGeneral Manager 1996-2004 at
Department of Telecom (1966–2004)Just now
Most importantbenefit I can say is when iceis required for a treatment it can
beprepared with out much delay in the freezer.
Many medicines are to be kept in low temperature like fridge. An exampleis
insulin.
Without decay onecan keep milk and such diary products. Vegetables and fruits
can be kept fresh.
Fridge becamethe reach of common man by 1990’s at homes in India.Medical stores
used to keep such medicines to be kept in lowtemperature. I have seen a fridge
in 1960’s when a medical shop was open in my town. .
Before that people purchased what was required forimmediate use. Ice was
purchased from shops at that time when emergencerequirement for it.
Though I started family life in 1969, I could afford topurchase a small fridge
only in 1990.
Q8 What interesting thing did you readtoday?
A8 Sharmila Thaj, Former Freelancer,Blogger, Writer Updated 5y
He Scoredonly an average mark of 750 in his 12th Board Exam. But he was awarded
as a‘Young Scientist’ by NASA! (These Headings in the News paperattracts me
towards the best read today)
World’s lightest and smallest Satellite.
Mohammed RifathSharukh, a 17 year old young scientist made the World’s Lightest
and SmallestSatellite!Pallapatti born, Karur district; Tamilnadu.
NASA organised acompetition. Over 8000 students from 57 countries participated.
He was the onlyIndian who was selected among the 80 final selections.
About his Satellite:
He named theSatellite ‘ KALAM SAT’ in memory of Dr. A.P.J. Abdul kalam.
It weighs only 64 grams.(0.1 kg and 3.8 cm in size)
“Space Kidz India” supported him. It was a complete Indian made Satellite.
Uses:
It will be used to detect the radiation in Space,and the changes in the
atmosphere.
It will stay only 240 minutes in space,then it will automatically fall in to
the specified ocean. Finally, it will betaken out for research.
Launch:
On June 22nd, 2017it will be launched through the SRK Rocket.
If they launchsuccessfully, then it will be used for Agriculture and Weather
Monitoring.
I wondered when I saw Mohammed Sharukh’s 12th Board ExamMark Details:
In Mathematics:92/200.
In Physics:89/200(Practical Mark: 50)
(For the rest, he wrote only for 39 marks in theory!(Less than my marks!))
He is one of theinspirations to the Students, who scored average marks in their
Board Exams.
For Parents:Marks don’t determine your Children, who they are. Every Child is
born withtalents.
This will be thefirst time Indian student’s experiment will be flown by NASA.
(Reallyappreciable!)
Q9 How good is curd rice for yourhealth?
A9 Bhuvana Rameshwar, Smart cook, nothardworking 1h

Curds are good forhealth so is rice. Curd rice is an excellent food to cool
your body in summers.We keep away from curds in winters and when we havecough

food poisoning, prickly heat, chicken pox, typhoid, paratyphoidand for hot
summers to cool our body.
Toddlers are given curd rice. Little children like curdrice too compared to the
spicy gravies their mothers make.
There is good bacteria in curds as it is a fermentatedproduct . It is rich in
vitamins of B group, D,minerals and rich in folates. It has less sugars like
lactose and galactosecompared to milk. Good for people who want to cut on food
sugars.
I am keeping off curd rice of late to cut down my weight.So I finish with a
starter like greens- rice or flax seed powder rice, thenrice and curry or
sambar with some shallow fried veg and a curd - cucumber-onion salad. (raitha).
Here i cut down on the last cup of rice. This helps melose weight.
But a day comes when I start craving for curd rice . Itis kind off a birth
right! That day it is only rice andcurds full plate , mango or lime pickle,
fried curd - chillies (more milagai)or a masala vada as accompaniment. It feels
heavenly on a hot tiring day. Whatfollows is a good, afternoon sleep. This is a
monthly rejuvenation for me. Itgives rest to my stomach of the daily sambars,
spicy veg or non veg andcurries.
My note- I eatrice with diluted curd ( not buttermilk ) in the night.
