What sounds extremely wrong, but is actually correct?

Brushing your teeth after you wake up in morning is not ideal. When Doctors say you should brush twice a day they mean that you should brush after your breakfast and dinner. After you eat a meal or snack that contains sugar, the bacteria in plaque produce acids that attack tooth enamel. When you brush your teeth, you help remove food and plaque - a sticky white film that forms on your teeth and contains bacteria. So if you don't brush your teeth after dinner then bacteria destroy your teeth all night (8 hours) and if you don't brush your teeth after breakfast then again they will again desintegrate your teeth all day. If you brush your teeth after breakfast your mouth will be fresh till lunch and brushing your teeth after dinner will keep your mouth fresh all night and you don't even have to brush teeth after waking up in the morning till breakfast. Your teeth can afford time between lunch & dinner without brushing. Understand this & aware others. Sincerely Please f

How do I maintain a good credit score to get a low interest loan?

People often ask this question ! Your credit history fundamentally calculates your credit score. All your previous loans and credit card transactions are used by credit bureaus to calculate scores. If the lender uses CIBIL, then a CIBIL score of 750 and above is considered good. To maintain a good credit score, you need to follow these rules: Make your credit payments timely and regularly. All your EMIs need to be paid before the due date. All your credit card bills should be at least on a payment plan. Defaulting on any such payments will lead your credit score to plummet. Maintain your credit utilisation percentage to 30%: This means that the spending on your credit card should be maintained at 30% of the credit limit. Don’t cancel old credit cards: If you pay their bills on time, your old credit cards only make your credit history richer. Follow your CIBIL report continuously. Your credit score not only decides your interest on a personal loan but also expedites the loan approval pr

GA Study Notes On Cement Manufacturing

Manufacturing of Cement Cement is essential for construction activity such as building houses, factories, bridges, roads, airports, dams and for other commercial establishments.The first cement plant was set up in Chennai in 1904.It was discovered by an English Mason, Joseph Aspdin in 1824.
