I know that a commercial liner can glide for some distance, but whatif it is over the Pacific Ocean? A4 Colin Riegels admitted as a lawyer in five countriesAugust 19 According to mybrother the pilot, a jumbo has a glide ratio of around 15:1. So if it is atnormal cruising altitude (around 32,000 feet), then it can “glide” for a littleover 90 miles. So if you areflying transcontinental, then you probably have options. If you are flyingacross the Pacific, unless you are extremely lucky, you probably don’t. On theplus side, if you do crash near an island it will probably have a smokemonster, and you’ll get to meet Evangeline Lilly.* However, myunderstanding is that the engineering of the planes is designed such that theengines are as independent of each other as possible. So you would have to bepretty unlucky to simultaneously lose all of your engines. Q5 Why does expensive chocolate meltfaster than cheap chocolate?

Whenever I’mpractising in the forest, I get too many bites. A12 DevalaRees Hindu practitioner and scholar of Paganreligions August 1 Diet is a bigfactor. If you eat very little sugar, little processed food, and mostly a verysimple diet of roti, dal, some fruits and nuts, etc., like mostsadhus/babas/yogis do, insects are much less attracted to your body. You smelland taste different. This has been widely reported by many people practicing“primitive” diets and the like. It takes a while to cause this change though. This is also onereason why many of them rub their bodies with ashes. Mosquitoes and most otherinsects hate the scent of ash, associating it with dangerous forest fires andthe like, and are repelled by it. Even better, sit near an actual burning fire,as many sadhus do. Also, as Mita Shahcorrectly says in his answer, there are various herbal remedies that they useto protect themselves from insect bites and stings. Some of these are given inthe Atharva Veda, in the Sanhitas of Ayurveda, and in various other Shastras,and many more are passed down orally. Once you startgetting into a deep Yogic state, your body’s metabolic functioning shifts. Yousweat less, breathe less, emanate less body heat, etc. - all the ways thatmosquitoes locate hosts. And if such an advanced yogi does get an occasionalbite, it won’t bother them. If you just want topractice meditation in the forest, go ahead and wear clothes and use naturalbug spray. You don’t have to emulate these intensely dedicated specialists.They didn’t just walk into the forest and start doing what they’re doing now;they learned from a Guru, slowly, over many years. Q13 What are the most harmful foods? Why? A13 Satjot Sandhu Lives inPunjab, IndiaUpdated January 23 I used to be a bigspicy eater. I loved spicy food. Red chillies to be precise. I would sprinklesome red chilli powder on every dish without even tasting the requirement. Ialways believed I have a good digestive system. A bit of chilli won't hurt. Andthis continued for years. Until one day, Isuffered from severe epigastric pain. I brushed it off and had a drink of warmwater. The pain subsided for a while. But the next morning, it was worse. Icouldn't eat or drink anything. I threw up nearly 15 times that day. My entireabdomen was burning and I felt that somebody was drilling holes into my stomachwall. It was a very painful experience. I was prescribed toheavy medications. I was supposed to be on a liquid diet for at least a week.Since I couldn't take anything orally, I was given major nutrients via I.V. My father suspectedthat I had damaged my mucosal lining from all the spicy food and now the acidcreated was damaging my peptic wall. It was the most severe form of gastritis Iever faced. All for the sake of satisfying my taste buds. So what are the most harmful foods?Anything that involves intolerable level ofspice, red chillies.
