What are some methods for preventing pregnancy?
Either by using reliable birth control, or not having sex whereby the male penetrates the female vagina with his penis. Since you question implies you plan on having sex, look for a suitable birth control method. Know that typical use ≠ ideal use, e.g. the pill in perfect use only fails in 0.3% while in typical use it fails in 8%(!), likewise with male condoms: perfect use 2% failure, typical use 15% (!) failure.This website points you to a lot of links you may want to read Birth Control (Contraception): Resource Overview, here is another overview Birth Control Methods - Birth Control OptionsThis is an overview of the reliability of the best known birth control methods:The present day low estrogen hormonal contraceptive pill needs to be taken at the same time every day, before the hormonal levels goes down too low thus permitting an ovulation to take place. This to many especially younger women can be a problem. There also are reports of failures after having been combined with antibiotics.Male condom failure usually is because the male not immediately withdrawing after ejaculation followed by the shrinking of the penis, so sperm will leak out of the condom into the vagina thus causing pregnancy.In women <21 yo it has been shown that the pill, patch, ring PPR are not very reliable, while long acting reversible contraceptives LARC being the IUD, progestagen depot injections and hormonal implants are very, very reliable, for young and old alike, see Effectiveness of Long-Acting Reversible Contraception — NEJM
For a long flight (over 10 hours), what does someone do that entire time? Anyone done that in coach?
It depends if you are in coach or business/first. I just flew to Hong Kong from the US in an overnight flight. I left Saturday and got in Monday early morning. The flight was just shy of 16 hours. I flew Cathay Pacific in business. The plane had economy, premium Eco and business. There was no First in this plane. Here is what I usually do:1. Always pick an overnight flight. Much easier to sleep this way. 2. Arrive exhausted. The more tired I am, the longer I can sleep. So the night before I sleep at least 3hours less than normal. 3. Eat before the flight. I find it better not to eat major meals on the plane even if the food is great. If you have a full stomach it is likely that you will not have good sleep. 4. If you drink, limit alcohol to one glass of wine or champagne. Don't ever drink beer in a plane unless you want to spend half the trip going to the toilet. 5. Drink normal quantities of water. Don't "hydrate" yourself, it has the same result as beer. 6. Have a good book so you catch up on reading. It is better than to rely on the plane's entertainment system. Sometimes it doesn't work. Also if you travel often most likely you have seen all movies. 7. Plan your time. If you are doing north-south like NY-Buenos Aires or London-J'burg try to sleep just after take off. If you are going East-West it is trickier, but for a 12+ hours I would wait at least 2h before sleeping. I sleep very well in the plane regardless of where I'm sitting. I have friends who can't sleep even if they are in First. In any event the one thing that I recommend you NEVER do is take sleeping aids. I have seen some very bad results.

What is the origin of the Jaat caste, and how did they get the name "JAAT"?
Uma Chakravarti reports that the varna status of the Jats improved over time, with the Jats starting in the untouchable/chandala varna during the eighth century, changing to shudra status by the 11th century, and with some Jats striving for zamindar status after the Jat rebellion of the 17th century.Jat are lutera - daku people belong to shudra community. There agreesive and speaking sense even match it. Bhrahmins give them name jat (jiski koi jat na ho). They thrown out of even shudra community and given name jat.
What's the most heartbreaking novel you've ever read?
A thousand splendid suns. One of the most incredibly sad, painful and beautiful books I’ve ever read. It tells the reader that life is not fair. It was amazing to observe how the characters still hope, after all that they had gone through, only to be disappointed again and again. Some of the heart breaking excerpts: “Like a compass needle that always points north, a man’s accusing finger always finds a woman. Always. You remember that, Mariam.” These are the words of a bitter woman, Mariam’s mother Nana, who is abandoned by her lover and is exiled to live, along with her illegitimate daughter, outside the town. She tries in vain to explain to her daughter that her father’s love is not as true as it seems to be and never to expect anything from men. And Mariam’s final thoughts, “Mariam wished for so much in those final moments. Yet as she closed her eyes, it was not regret any longer but a sensation of abundant peace that washed over her. She thought of her entry into this world, the harami child of a lowly villager, an unintended thing, a pitiable, regrettable accident. A weed, and yet she was leaving the world as a woman who had loved and been loved back. She was leaving it as a friend, a companion, a guardian. A mother. A person of consequence at last. No. It was no so bad, Mariam thought, that she should die this way. Not so bad. This was a legitimate end to a life of illegitimate beginnings. “After finishing the book I was like,
