Q1 What secrets do airline companies notwant passengers to know about? A1 Manav Rama,Save up to 90% on flightswith Mighty Travels Premium. Fri Airline companiesdon't want passengers to know that they often overbook flights, meaning moretickets are sold than there are seats available. This means somepassengers may not be able to board the flight even if they have a ticket. Airlines also don'twant you to know that their prices can vary greatly depending on when and whereyou book your ticket, so it pays off to shop around for the best deal! Finally, airlineswould rather keep quiet about how much money they make from charging extra feesfor things like checked baggage or seat selection - these fees add up quickly andcan really increase the cost of your trip! Q2 Whether south Africa has no railways? A2 It does. It has (had) an extensiveState owned and operated above-ground urban and long-distance railwayinfrastructure. It comprised some 22,000 kilometers of rail track and 585 trainstations. When designed, proper urban planning made underground infrastructureunnecessary. For instance, on the 860km railway line between iron-ore producingSishen and Saldanha port, ten locomotives would be moving some of the world’slongest production trains of 3.7km long with a payload of 41k ton. However, due toincompetence and lack of maintenance, these assets deteriorated to a pointwhere it’s virtually unusable. Large tracts of electrification cables and railswere allowed to be stolen. Entire Railway stations were allowed to be stolen.Rolling stock were allowed to be vandalised. Then there is theGautrain rail network of only about 80km. This was constructed both above andbelow ground as a private/public partnership. It is still in operation and verywell managed. Q3 Can bread be considered as standardhuman food? A3 Peter, I love to eat and am anadventurous eater.19h No. For nearly all ofhuman history, nearly all people mostly ate whatever was cheapest, and (if theywere lucky) sometimes got to add other things, like meat. In most of Europe, bread madefrom wheat (usually) was quite cheap and available, so people ate a lot. But … Europe is notthe planet. Right now, less than 1 in 10 people on Earth lives in Europe. Inmost of Asia (which is, by far, the most populous continent) the staple food isrice. (Wheat is more common in northern Asia where rice doesn’t grow so well). Africa has a variety of staple foods, but not alwayswheat or bread., In the Americas before colonization, the staples werepotatoes and corn (maize). >From what I canfigure out, the closest thing to a “standard human food” is >onions. Almost every cuisineuses them (the Jains do not, but I can’t think of >anyone else that doesn’t). Q4 How do you fix low testosterone?

A5 Nicholas Stone,Life long interest intrains.18h The benefits ofhaving two engines on high speed trains is redundancy. If one engine fails, theother can power the train to a safe place to stop. The Anglo-FrenchIntergovernmental Commission (IGC) [1] requires trains using the Channel Tunnelto have two locomotives or equivalent configuration - providing redundancy inthe event of a locomotive failure. Car and lorry carrying shuttles havelocomotives at both ends of train. Class 9 locomotivesare positioned at either end of rolling stock which conveys motor vehiclesthrough the Channel Tunnel. These powerful electric power locomotives have topspeed of 160 km/h. At 7,500 hp, they are among the most powerful in the world. The originalEurostar high speed passenger trains using the Channel Tunnel have locomotivesat either end. This was an IGC requirement - that the 18 carriage train can besplit, passengers moved and the remaining 9 carriages pushed or pulled tosafety, if one of the locomotives at either end of train should fail. The IGC approvednewer Eurostar trains with traction motors underneath half of the passengercarriages, instead of locomotives at either or both ends.
