Q1 How comeKamaraj lost in the election?
KR Even withoutSrinivasan he could have been defeated. Every political
candidate has only alimited period of success. Defeat is normal where people
are so mad to pull outthe righteousness. Even Modi will be defeated one day.
Q2 Is itpossible to melt wood?
KR Trulygenerally YES. Buit melting of solid of every kind is physics
ultimately so thereis nothing in the earth that cannot be melted at all.
Melting Wood: A Guide to Understanding theProcess
What is Melting Wood?
Can you melt wood is a question that is often asked due tothe fact that wood is
made of cellulose, which is a non-flammable material.Melting wood is possible,
however, it requires intense heat and a precise distributionof oxygen. The most
common method used to melt wood is burning it, although amore precise approach
is to use a kiln. When heated in a kiln, the cellulose inthe wood will break
down, allowing it to be liquified at temperatures between150-200 degrees
Celsius. The type of wood and its moisture content willdetermine how much heat
is required to melt it.
Is it Possible to Melt Wood?
Yes, it is possible to melt wood. Wood is a naturalmaterial made up of a
variety of compounds including cellulose, lignin andhemicellulose. In order to
melt wood, thetemperature needs to reach 1000°C or higher in certain
circumstances. Once thistemperature is reached, the woodis thermally degraded
until all its materials are reduced to liquidform.
Wood can be melted through direct contact with a very hotobject such as a torch
or fire brick around 900-1000ºC which has enough energyto cause thermal
degradation of the bond between the polymers (molecules) thatmake up the
majority of wooden material. This causes them to break down intosmaller
particles and evaporate away as gas. Once these polymers get degradedenough
they begin liquifying which results in melting.
The type of woodused will influence how quickly it will melt under high
temperatures –hardwoods like oak require more energy than softer woods such as
pine orpoplar. Additionally, depending on where on the tree the piece came from
andwhat part of cell structure it had when cut into pieces, it could also
impacthow quickly it melts – bark and resin tend to maintain their solid state
longerdue to chemical composition sturdiness at higher temperatures resulting
inmelting being slower compared with inner parts of woody tissue structures
thatcomposed mostly from general mass rather than combinations between
certainelements making them weaker at high heat exposure leading
quickertransformation process resulting in easily melting down at
What Factors Contribute to the Melting ofWood?
Wood can be damaged by melting if it is exposed to toomuch heat. The type of
woodand its characteristics determine how much heat it will take beforethe wood
starts to melt. A common issue when wood melts is related to fire,which is an
intense sourceof heat that impacts all materials, including wood. Any instance
of ahouse fire, for example, that involves wooden structures not only
contributesto the destruction of infrastructure but will also lead to the
melting of wood.
The melting temperature of wood can depend on variousfactors such as species,
graindirection, relative humidity (RH), thermal conductivity
anddensity/porosity. Species refers to the type of treefrom which the lumber
has been derived. Different types of treesrequire varying amounts of heat
before they start melting due to variations inproperties between them like
density and moisturecontent. For example, hardwoods require more energy than
softwoods in orderfor their fibers to soften and deform. Similarly, different
grain directionscan affect how easily one piece of woodmelts compared to
another; since cells are oriented differently withinlongitudinal (vertical) vs
transverse (horizontal) grains in logs or boardsrespectively, a given amount of
energy would melt each sample at a differentrate depending on its grain
orientation.
Finally other variables like RH play a role in thedistribution and storage
mechanisms involved with the movement or handlingwithin materials embedded in
that environment such as woods; this furtheraffects any structural changes
caused by temperature increase such as strength
What Are the Benefits of Melting Wood?
Wood melting provides a range of useful properties to bothdecorative and
functional applications in our everyday lives. Throughthermomachining, the
process of heating and softening wood fiber to increaseplasticity, it is
possible to produce various shapes with intricate surfacedetail, as well as
create latex free rubber molds. By melting wood, we canalso provide solutions
to joinery projects or engravings that would otherwisebe impossible using
traditional methods.
The benefits of melting wood go far beyond its aestheticmerits. As wood is
melted down, it becomes more malleable, creatingunlimited possibilities for
custom interlocking joints for furniturepieces or artistic endeavors. The
flexibility provided by melted woodallows for extremely tight connections which
results in superior productdurability when compared to traditional carpentry
options.
A further advantage of using melted wood lies in itsenvironmental
friendliness—the entire process uses no toxic materials orchemicals, making it
an eco-friendly choice for any craftingproject. Furthermore, once a projectis
complete the expired molten material can be recycled back intousable lumber at
much lower temperature than normally required fumigationprocesses or chemical
treatment procedures. Melted downwood fibers bind togetherwhen cool so
temporarily holding their shape even after cooling off; drawingcould save you
time and energy while molding components togetherthat cannotbe cutwith common
tools such as saws and grinders plus eliminating dustparticles created by
traditional carpentry procedures. All parts are capablebeing reshaped easily

How Can We Safely Melt Wood?
As one of the most versatile materials known tohumankind, woodis incredibly
useful when it comes to making various items. Wecan craftwooden furniture,
jewelry and countless other pieces that requirecertain shape or design in order
to be produced. But have you ever wondered howwe can safelymelt wood without
compromising its integrity?
The process of melting any kind of material requiresextremely high temperatures
and this appliesespecially to wood. Lingering with such extreme heat can
causesevere damage and even fires if not handled properly. Thus, safetyshould
always be the top concern before trying to melt down a piece of wood nomatter
what purpose it may have!
Luckily, there are a few techniques that allow us tosoften and ultimatelymelt
wood into a malleable form safely:
1) Dry Steam: Generating dry steam at an intensetemperature range is probably
the safestway for melting a piece of wood as long as the steam doesn’t
evaporatequickly. The process consists on placing the wooden block inside a
sealedchamber where hot steam enterswhile containing all volatile particles
that may cause fire hazards.By repeating this method several times, we can
eventually guarantee that theblock will reach its softening point fast and
without compromising itsintegrity whatsoever.
2 ) Vacuum Chamber Method: A similar technique to thedry-steam one implies
using vacuum chambers that are filled by releasingcontrolled amounts of gas
(usually nitrogen). An inert gas such as nitrogeneliminates all chances of
combustion, so does melt.

Q5 Whichdiseases can be cured by eating garlic?
KR Garlic ispreventive but never a curative, unless added with some other
things. Lasuna inIndia is the name of a plant defined with Alliumsativum in
various botanical sources. This page contains potentialreferences in Ayurveda,
modern medicine, and other folk traditions or localpractices It has the synonym
Porrum ophioscorodon (Link) Rchb.(among others). Lashuna use is describedin
paste , oil and other varieties in shusrutha samhitai. Garlic like yoga
ispreventive but cannot be directly used as a cure.

Q1 How come Kamaraj lost in the election?
A1 Sundari SST, Former Sr. Manager- 1999VRS Retired.17m
Siryou have made me so sorry in bringing to memory the saddest day of
Thamizhnadu.The karma veerK.Kamaraj was a selfless congress leader respected
for his simplicity and lovetowards downtrodden people.
He started midday meal program to help poorchildren ,to avoid dropout of
students.
Alongwith R.Venkataraman the Industries minister of his cabinet constructed
many dams in TN for utilisingriver water for irrigation.
He was responsible for heavy industrialdevelopment in TN. NLC and BHEL, HPC
Ooty are some of his achievement for TN
Alashe left the chiefmistership under his own plan known as K Plan to work for
theparty full time for it's development throughout India.
Sucha divine personality faced an unknown student in his own constituency. Pity
Rajaji was against himpersonally as Rajaji resigned from congress and started a
new party calledSwatanthra Party. During election DMK promised 3 measures of
rice forjust one rupee! Election stunt promised by Perarignar Annadurai !!
The people forgot Kamaraj services toTN . They votedfor the young student
Srinivasan . Kamaraj was defeated. He never stood up in TN.This is the story of
unpardonable Defeat inflicted on our great Kamaraj.
My note- The QA is added for the information about Late kammaraj CM and
incidence occurred for his defeat.However DMK rule under CN Annadurai was a
bright period in Tamilnadu.
Q2 Is it possible to melt wood?
A2 Silk Road, AI Expert15h
No, you can't melt wood. Wood is not a puresubstance like ice or metal. It's
made of different compounds, like water, cellulose, lignin, andother stuff.
Each of these compounds has its own meltingpoint, but they also react with heat
in different ways.
When you heat up wood, the firstthing that happensis that the water evaporates.
Then, the cellulose and lignin start to breakdown and burn.
They combine with oxygen in the air andproduce carbon dioxide, watervapor, and
charcoal.
Thisprocess is called pyrolysis, andit's irreversible. That means you can't
turn the wood back into itsoriginal form by cooling it down.
You might think that if you heat upwood in a vacuum, wherethere's no oxygen,
you could avoid pyrolysis and melt the wood.
Butthat's not the case either. The cellulose fibers in wood are very strongand
prevent the wood from becoming liquid.
Instead, the heat would break thebonds in cellulose and produce methane, carbon
dioxide, and other organic compounds. You would end up with a bunch of gases
and charcoal, not liquid wood.
Theonly way you could possibly melt wood is if you could lower the melting
pointof carbon, which is one of the main elements in wood.
Carbonmelts at 3500°C, which is way hotter than any normal fire. Maybe if you
hadsome super high-tech equipment, you could create such conditions and melt
wood.
Butas far as I know, no one has ever done that or published any results about
it.
Q3 Did Julius Caesar ever fight in battle,or was he simply just a
general? In other words, did he ever physically fightin battle, or did he just
command his warriors and that was it?
A3 Patrick S,1h
Julius Caesar was primarily known as amilitary general and statesman, but he
did participate in battles during his career. While he heldcommand positions
and strategized the movements of his armies, he occasionallyengaged in combat
alongside his troops.
Some notable instances of Caesarparticipating in battles include:
Battle of Munda (45 BCE): During thecivil war againstPompey's sons, Caesar
personally led his troops into battle against the forcesof Gnaeus and Sextus
Pompeius in Spain. He fought on the front lines,demonstrating his bravery and
leadership.
Siege of Mytilene (81 BCE): This wasa relatively earlymilitary action in
Caesar's career when he served as a military tribune. Heplayed a role in the
siege of Mytilene during the Mithridatic Wars.
Siege of Alexandria (48 BCE): Caesarwas involved in thesiege of Alexandria
during his campaign in Egypt. While not a pitched battle,the siege involved
military engagements, and Caesar would have been presentduring these actions.
Various engagements during the GallicWars: Caesar led campaigns inGaul
(modern-day France) and took part in several battles against Gallictribes, such
as the Battle of Gergovia and the Battle of Alesia. While he was primarily a
commander, he would have been exposed to dangeron the battlefield.
Q4 Why is lord Krishna's skin color blue?
A4 Sudha Bharti,Sep 28
Lord Krishna is often depicted ashaving a bluish complexion in Hindu art and
mythology. There are several explanations and symbolicinterpretations for this
blue color:
1.Divine Color: In Hinduism, the colorblue is often associated with thedivine.
It represents the infinite and the boundless. Krishna's blue skin isseen as a
representation of his divine nature.
2. Symbol of Lord Vishnu: Krishna'sblue complexion is also areminder of his
identity as Lord Vishnu, who is often depicted as having a bluebody. Lord
Vishnu is considered the preserver of the universe, and his bluecolor
symbolizes his role in maintaining cosmic order.
3. Sri Krishna's Leela: In Hinduism,Krishna isconsidered to be an avatar of
Lord Vishnu. The blue color is said to symbolizehis divine and playful nature.
It is believed that Lord Krishna used to playpranks and engage in various
divine and playful activities (leelas) during hisearthly life.
4. Representation of the Infinite: Blueis associated with the sky and theocean,
both of which are vast and seemingly infinite. Krishna's blue skin issometimes
seen as a representation of his all-encompassing and infinite nature.
5. Aesthetic and Symbolic Tradition:Over centuries, artists andpoets have
depicted Lord Krishna as blue, and this tradition has been passeddown through
generations. The blue color has become an iconic and deeplyingrained part of
Krishna's imagery.
It'simportant to note that the exact shade of blue used in depictions of
LordKrishna can vary, andthere may be regional and artistic differences in how
he is portrayed.Ultimately, the blue color of Lord Krishna is a symbolic
representation of hisdivine and transcendent nature within Hinduism.
