Although it looks promising that one experimental vaccine may be able to prevent Ebola, there is currently no proven therapy for treating the infection.
One of the experimental drugs, ZMapp, had initially given hope that a breakthrough had been made but further tests indicated it was not as effective at killing the virus as had been hoped.
During the PALM trial, ZMapp was used as a control, meaning that scientists used it as a starting point to compare it to the other three treatments.

Not only does it confirm that some dinosaurs were covered in feathers (a popular theory), but also provides evidence that cannot be gained from fossil evidence alone, such as the presence of soft tissue and colour.
Scientists say the top of the animal's skull was a reddish-brown colour, while the lower jaw was a pale or carrot-coloured.
This find also raises questions about the evolution of spiders in the tropics.
Because dinosaur claws were not well preserved, they are called "stumps," but they have other claws (shovel-shaped and spoon-shaped) that paleontologists used as evidence that the stumps probably evolved later than those other claws.
The structure of the teeth suggests that they were used not for biting but for temperature regulation or even making noise. The researchers think that even though it is an example of a juvenile tyrannosaur, it is more similar to an ostrich than to a raptor.
The researchers said that although it is a young dinosaur, the find shows signs of osteoarthritis rather than juvenile wear-and-tear.

Voting in France has traditionally been a low-tech affair: Voters walk into a booth and mark their choice on a paper ballot.
Officials check the voter’s identity, the voter puts the ballot in the ballot box and signs the list of voters.
The French election law is quite complex in codifying the process.

Even before the 2010 federal election, a survey of 1400 people in 2009 found that support for the Australian Republic had grown by 8 per cent since 2008.
During the 2010 federal election campaign, then Prime Minister Julia Gillard confirmed she believed Australia should become a republic after Queen Elizabeth II's reign.
Thirty-four per cent of respondents agreed that Queen Elizabeth II should be Australia's last monarch.
When asked about radical responses, 29 per cent of the surveyed believed that Australia should become a republic as soon as possible, while 31 per cent believed that Australia should never become a republic.
The Olympic gold medallist in the 100m and 200m freestyle won the 100m and 200m freestyle events and three relays at the Sandraugas Games, but his physical form is far from perfect.

Curtis Cooper, a professor of mathematics and computer science at Central Michigan University, found the largest known prime number on January 25.
By the end of October, some people had tested the creation using various software and hardware, and on Tuesday they announced it.
It could have been that the comet ejected water and organic molecules into space which could have seeded and nurtured life.
Scientists hope to learn how planets formed, especially how Earth formed, because comets have been interacting with Earth for a very long time.
Cuomo, 53, was elected governor in 2010 and signed legislation earlier this year to allow same-sex couples to marry.
He called it "political hatred and revenge."
He is expected to run for president in 2016.
NextGen is the system that, when fully implemented, the FAA says will save airlines millions of gallons of fuel per day and reduce carbon emissions by as much as half.
It uses an advanced technology rather than the older radar technology to enable air traffic controllers to more accurately pinpoint aircraft and provide pilots with better information.
There will be no additional public transport, and the car parks and on-street parking around Wembley will not be available.
The fear of transportation delays has prompted a review of the possibility that the matches could be played behind closed doors.
On Wednesday, a study published in the journal Science reported the formation of a new coral reef in the Galapagos Islands of Ecuador.
Researchers from Princeton University in the U.S. and Uppsala University in Sweden reported that the new species emerged twice, although it was thought the process would take much longer due to the endangered yellow-rumped macaw (Geospiza fortes) and immigrating large cactus finch (Geospiza conirostris) hybridization.
Gold can be formed into many different shapes. It can be hammered into thin sheets.
It can be made into a soft paste that can be smeared or troweled on, or a hard paste that can be carved or molded.
It can be bent very easily and it can be hammered into other metals. It can be made so thin that it can be used as a substitute for glass in lenses made in the past for "reading stones" in books.
This is known as the pH scale. Acids have a pH less than 7, while bases have a pH greater than 7.
The color of the iris varies depending on the type of pigment in the lens, either brown or blue (green).
The pH scale is a measure of the concentration of hydrogen ions (H+) in a solution.
Hydrogen ions are protons which have lost their electrons (a hydrogen atom has one proton and one electron).
Tie both ends of the rope together, then use the loose ends to tie the rope to the stake.
The moisture in the air reacts with the external pollutants, which are not very volatile, and forms a certain protective layer.
In Harappa and Mohenjo-daro, most houses had a latrine with a covered sewer, connected to the town's drainage system.
Evidence of ancient plumbing has been found in the Minoan cities of Crete and on the island of Santorini in Greece.
Toilets were already known in ancient Egypt, Persia and China. In the Roman civilization, toilets were sometimes part of a public bath, where men and women bathed together.
When you look at something that is more than a thousand miles away, you use a magnifying glass.
The reflector gives off a signal, which is almost immediately picked up by the detector.
A mirror reflects the light. Scientists use mirrors on telescopes to make up for the fact that the Earth's atmosphere blocks some of the light and makes it hard to see.
To put a satellite or a telescope into orbit around the Earth requires a rocket with a thrust of at least 100,000 pounds (45,000 kg).
The invention of the wheel marked a major change in the history of the world. The wheel made travel faster and easier.
He provided us with a tractor, a car and a variety of other farming tools.
Another group - medium-sized cats, ranging in size from weasels to antelopes and elephants.
And the last ones are small cats (including free-living house cats), which eat a lot of varied food, such as mice, rats, birds, frogs and bats.
Their attraction is a sense of place - a specialist niche that is not open to all comers and that does not allow them to compete with each other.
Bats are social mammals that live in large groups called colonies.
The family is made up of one to three species of bats associated with caves, and sometimes up to thirty species and young.
Moose are usually solitary, except during the mating season - much like bears and wolves.
Bats are similar to rodents or shrews (very poor relatives of bats and not closely related to any other mammals) and also use echolocation to navigate and hunt.
A moose, a large herbivorous mammal, can outrun (although not ideally), outswim, and can outrun most humans, and has a much longer stride length than an average human.
The tiger belongs to the same group (genus Panthera) as lions, leopards and jaguars, and only these four species of big cat can roar.
A tiger's roar is not as loud as a lion's roar. It is more of a scream when it is angry.
Ocelots like to eat small animals. If they can, they will hunt bats, rodents, lizards, and birds. Nearly all of the ocelot's prey are much smaller than the ocelot.
Scientists think that the ocelots hunt and kill the animals they eat (their prey) by pouncing and clawing them in the chest when they are on the ground.
They are very good swimmers because they have the ability to see in the dark and their claws are very sharp. Ocelots hunt their prey by stalking them and then pouncing on them.
When a small population becomes isolated from the main population to which it belonged (such as a mountain range that becomes a peninsula or an island that becomes cut off from the mainland), it often becomes a new species.
In this new environment, there are other inputs and competitors, so for the new population to be a good competitor, it will require different characteristics or changes from what it was before.
The original population has not changed at all, they still need that kind of support.
Over time, as the new population begins to replace the old one, it becomes increasingly similar to the other population.
Eventually, after thousands or even millions of years, two populations that are slightly different become so different that they can no longer breed together.
We call this process new gene formation. New gene formation is an inevitable part of evolution.
Plants make a gas called oxygen that people and animals have to breathe. It is part of the carbon dioxide that people and animals breathe out.
Plants make their own food through a process called photosynthesis. They also give off a gas called oxygen.
We eat plants and make clothes from plants. Most of the food we eat and the clothes we wear come from plants. Without plants there would be no animals.
Mosasaurus was the most successful predator of its time, and it out-competed other mosasaurs.
Its long claws had more than 70 sharp teeth, some of which were on its upper jaw, meaning there was nowhere to escape from if you were on the receiving end of a bite.
We don't know for sure, but it could have been. It was covered in scars, large wounds, other oviraptorosaurs, maybe even a cannibal.
He swallowed everything that went into the water. Even a small plesiosaur wasn't safe from him.
Most of their food was familiar to us, but they also had some strange or exotic delicacies including bear, moose, reindeer and musk ox, a type of wild sheep.
Another difference was that wolves and women ate while sitting on their haunches, while men ate standing, pacing about while digesting their food.
The old Roman roads could not have been used to transport food from Europe to the Americas or Asia in ancient times.
For example, they did not have pumpkins, tomatoes, beans, cacao, or any of the other New World crops that the Old World had never seen before.
The Babylonians built a temple for each of their gods, except for the chief god, who had a temple in the god's own house.
People bowed to the gods and the king sought to please the gods with offerings and sacrifices.
Each temple had an open courtyard, as well as an inner temple which was only accessible to the king.
Sometimes, as part of the temple, special pyramid-shaped boxes - ziggurats - were built.
On top of the box was a special shrine to the god.
With the mild climate of the East Coast, the house was not as important.
For most of the time, the Hebrew family lived in the countryside.
Women made food in the home. Shops were often open to the street with a shop window. Houses were built with stones.
Canaan was not a rich land, so the media was very scarce.
Greenland was discovered relatively late in ancient Scandinavian history; according to the Old Norse sagas, Erik the Red was banished from Iceland for murder and travelled west to find Greenland, which he named Greenland.
However, at the time of its discovery, it was already inhabited by the Eskimos.
Although every country is "Scandinavian" in some sense, there are many differences related to the Danes, Swedes, Norwegians and Icelanders, their kings, battles and history.
If you've seen the film Code: L.O.B.O.C., you may have the impression that the other side of the Declaration of Independence was eaten by a lobster.
However, this is not true. Although something may be written on one side of a document, it is not necessarily the truth.
The other side of the Declaration of Independence has the words "Original Declaration of Independence, signed July 4, 1776."
Although no one knows exactly what it is, it is known that this large parchment document (29.75 by 24.5 inches) was carefully protected at the time of its creation.
Thus, it is likely that this name was recorded exactly as it was pronounced.
Over the course of 2 days and nights, French forces were able to liberate northern France but the south was still occupied.
Part of it was under Vichy French control. These Vichy French collaborated with the Germans in 1940 and continued to work for the Germans after the invasion.
On August 15, 1940, the Allies invaded southwestern France—code-named Operation Dragoon.
Over the course of two weeks, American and Free French forces were able to liberate the south of France and enter Germany.
A civilization is the concrete expression of a particular culture developed by a group of people who live and work together over an extended period of time, a society.
The word civilization derives from the Latin word civitas meaning city-state, and ultimately colony.
The city-state is the original form of the nation. Civilization means the transmission of knowledge from one generation to the next, the nurturing of a cultural continuity, and the accumulation of wealth.
Small cultures are often overlooked because of their lack of recorded history and their perceived lack of sophistication.
During the revolutionary war, the states initially created a weak central government (the Articles of Confederation), which was modeled after the Articles of Confederation.
Congress was unable to pass legislation to regulate tariffs, and as there was no national executive or judicial branch, it fell to the states to create the institutions necessary to carry out their new powers, and most of the states were ill-equipped to do so.
It also did not prohibit the imposition of taxes and tariffs between states.
To change the articles required a consensus of all the states, and the central government was so weak that its representatives often did not even bother to attend the meetings.
The Italian national football team is the second most successful in the world, after Germany, and won the FIFA World Cup in 2006.
Popular sports include football, basketball, volleyball, handball, water polo, fencing, rugby, gymnastics, ice skating, track and field, and Formula 1 racing.
Winter sports are the most popular in the northern regions - Italians participate in international and Olympic competitions.
Japan is made up of almost 7,000 islands (the largest of which is Honshu), so it is the seventh largest in the world!
Because of its many islands/island groups, Japan is often referred to as the "Nation of Islands"
The island was first discovered in the 15th century by Portuguese explorers who named it Ilha Formosa, which means "beautiful island".
In 1624, the Dutch East India Company established a base at present-day Tainan in southern Taiwan, beginning a transformation of agricultural practices and training Chinese laborers to work on their rice and sugar plantations.
The Qing Dynasty (1644–1912) took control of Taiwan in 1683 and made it a province of China in 1885.
In 1895, after the First Sino-Japanese War (1894–1895), the Qing government signed the Treaty of Shimonoseki, which ceded Taiwan to Japan as a colony until 1945.
Machu Picchu has three main constructions: the Intihuatana, the Temple of the Sun and the Three Doorways.
Many of the buildings in the complex had been restored to show how they looked originally, so that visitors could get a better idea of how they looked when they were first built.
30% of Machu Picchu was destroyed until 1976. Restoration works are still in progress.
For example, the most common global format for non-professional photography is 35 mm. This format dominated the analogue era of photography.
Today it is ubiquitous, but I think the real inflection point was when digital photography got good enough to replace chemical photography.
The 35 mm format is misleading, as it is actually 36 by 24 mm.
Therefore, it is said that the ratio of this type of chromosomes (doubling the number of chromosomes to get the minimum number of cells) is 3:2.
Most common formats (e.g. JPEG family) are lossy or very close to lossless compression.
Often used and abused, the third-party cookie is a bit of a Frankenstein's monster, piecing together data from multiple sources to create a profile of you.
It claims that the most effective location for the main object is at the intersection of lines that divide the image into thirds, both horizontally and vertically (see example).
During the European Middle Ages, when the church became wealthy and powerful, it drew a lot of attention.
More than a thousand years after Christianity came to Europe, it still divides the continent along linguistic and cultural lines.
They all had their part to play - from the king to the common man.
One of the main principles of Christianity is that the world should be used to reduce poverty and hunger, and that the wealth of the church should be used for that purpose.
The central authority of the church had been established in Rome over a thousand years earlier, and the wealth and power concentrated there made the question of whether to adopt such a doctrine a difficult one.
Immediately after this act of aggression, Great Britain initiated the blockade of the German Ocean.
The strategy was effective in stopping the flow of vital military and civilian supplies, although the blockade was in violation of international law, having been condemned by several international conventions over the past two decades.
Britain was wary of international waters so that no ships could sail to any part of the seas and pose a threat to the country's navy.
As the tactics became more sophisticated, Germany hoped to gain an advantage in its secret submarine war.
During the 3rd decade of the 20th century, most people and entire nations lived in the ideas of pacifism and isolationism.
Inspired by the end of World War I and the hope for a better future, the people wanted to commemorate it.
In 1884, Tesla moved to the United States to accept a job with the Continental Edison Company in New York City.
He came to the U.S. with four cents, a poetry book and a letter of recommendation from Charles Batchelor (the inventor's first employer) to Thomas Edison.
Ancient China had a unique position in revealing different time periods; each dynasty or each ruling family in China was unique.
Meanwhile, in the provinces, there were periods of instability. The best known of these is the Three Kingdoms period of 220–280 CE, when the Han dynasty gave way to the Three Kingdoms period of 220–280 CE, when the Han dynasty gave way to the Three Kingdoms period of 220–280 CE, when the Han dynasty gave way to the Three Kingdoms period of 220–280 CE, when the Han dynasty gave way to the Three Kingdoms period of 220–280 CE, when the Han dynasty gave way to the Three Kingdoms period of 220–280 CE, when the Han dynasty gave way to the Three Kingdoms period of 220–280 CE, when the Han dynasty gave way to the Three Kingdoms period of 220–280 CE, when the Han dynasty gave way to the Three Kingdoms period of 220–280 CE, when the Han dynasty gave way to the Three Kingdoms period of 220–280 CE, when the Han dynasty gave way to the Three Kingdoms period of 220–280 CE, when the Han dynasty gave way to the Three Kingdoms period of 220–280 CE, when the Han dynasty gave way to the Three Kingdoms period of 220–280 CE, when the Han dynasty gave way to the Three Kingdoms period of 220–280 CE, when the Han dynasty gave way to the Three Kingdoms period of 220–280 CE, when the Han dynasty gave way to the Three Kingdoms period of 220–280 CE, when the Han dynasty gave way to the Three Kingdoms period of 220–280 CE, when the Han dynasty gave way to the Three Kingdoms period of 220–280 CE, when the Han dynasty gave way to the Three Kingdoms period of 220–280 CE, when the Han dynasty gave way to the Three Kingdoms period of 220–280 CE, when the Han dynasty gave way to the Three Kingdoms period of 220–
During this time, many large battles were fought over the issue of succession.
The Three Kingdoms was one of the bloodiest periods of Chinese history, with thousands dying in a war to determine who would control the Sichuan Plateau.
There are many social and political innovations, such as the metric system, the move from absolutism to republicanism, from nationalism to federalism, and from the assumption that the country is the property of the ruler to the assumption that it is the property of the people.
After the revolution, all able-bodied men were able to take part in the occupations, where ambition and success were on offer.
This is also true of the military, where rank is now awarded on the basis of personal merit rather than class.
The French Revolution inspired many people in other countries to start a revolution in their own countries.
Muhammad had a very vivid imagination of things that were common in everyday life. He often went to the hill called Noor (light) which was later known as Hira to meditate.
The very next year, the same man who had denied the Prophet's miracles gave a very vivid description of the Prophet's miraculous miracles.
Uruq was one of the mountain ranges to the north of Mexico, so it was completely isolated from the rest of the world.
Even if you know there's a bear in the area, finding it is not easy. Once you leave the safety of your car, you are completely isolated.
There's nothing to see, just endless plains and a lot of nice mountains. It's very hard to see or to get to from anywhere in the world.
The Great Pyramid of Giza is the only one of the Seven Wonders of the World that is still standing.
The Great Pyramid of Giza, built by the ancient Egyptians in the 3rd millennium BC, is one of the many large pyramids built in the ancient kingdom of Egypt.
The Giza Plateau (also known as the Giza Necropolis) is the site of some of the most impressive pyramids (including the Great Pyramid which is the largest), some small pyramids, a few ruined temples, and the Great Sphinx.
The Great Pyramid was built by the Pharaoh Cheops, and most of the smaller pyramids, tombs, and temples were built by Cheops' subjects as an offering to him.
The "superscript" sign looks like a V, and the "subscript" sign looks like a capital V or a square with a line through it.
The word "aukstyn" means to start from the top and stop at the bottom, and the word "zemyn" means to start from the bottom and stop at the top.
The upper eyelid is most often affected by wrinkles, and the lower eyelid - by more pronounced, deeper wrinkles.
Don't get carried away writing notes on the page, but don't forget that expressive notes are what music is all about, so they should be encouraged.
King Louis XVI, Queen Marie-Antoinette, and their two young children (11-year-old Marie-Thérèse and four-year-old Louis-Charles) and the king's sister, Elizabeth, were forced to leave Versailles for Paris on 6 October 1789.
They returned to Paris, where they were welcomed by the people of Paris who were tired of and angry with the king and queen.
The people’s money was used by the kings and queens to build castles all over the country.
At some point, one of the minions of the soon-to-be overthrown king was beheaded in Versailles by the royal guillotine.
The U.S. imperialist war expenses that were meant to ruin the Filipinos were instead used by the Filipinos.
They were required to pay taxes to the U.S. Colonial government to make up for the large expenses and obligations incurred by the Philippine government (although disbursements were made through the Volstead Act).
Of course, the wealth gained through the long-term exploitation of Filipinos was the main basis of U.S. imperialism.
To understand the Templars, one must understand the context that led to their creation.
The era in which these events took place is usually referred to as the High Middle Ages, or the 11th, 12th, and 13th centuries (1000–1300 AD).
The Bronze Age is the period between the Early Bronze Age and the Iron Age. The Bronze Age generally ended about 1500 BCE.
Technological determinism is the belief that the development of technology more or less determines the course of history, that social change is more or less dictated by changes in technology.
Most interpretations of the theory of technological determinism have two common ideas: that technology inevitably determines the course of history, and that the impact of technology on the world is unavoidable rather than contingent.
As an example, although it may be said that making a car requires a lot of direct paths.
However, a national road network is not economically viable if only a few cars use it, so new construction methods are being developed to reduce the cost of roadbeds.
The increase in car traffic has led to an increase in road accidents, and this has contributed to the development of new methods of treating injuries to the abdominal area.
Romanticism is very much a cultural determination, derived from writers such as Goethe, Fichte and Schlegel.
In the context of Romanticism, geography and long-distance travel were shaped by the associated landscapes and cultures, which were more vivid in the imagination than in reality.
As Paris is now the fashion capital of the modern world, Constantinople was the fashion capital of medieval Europe.
It erupted as a caldera about 400 BCE and lasted until about 1100 CE.
In the 12th century its status was reduced the most due to the return of the Crusaders with goods such as silk and spices, which were more valuable than what the Byzantine market offered.
At the same time, fashion capitals moved from Constantinople to Paris.
The Gothic style was developed in the period between the 10th and 11th centuries and the 14th century.
Early on, Byzantine culture in the east was a major influence.
However, due to the infrequency of communication, it was not uncommon for letters to take 25–30 years to arrive.
The invention of crossbows in Western Europe marked a change in the style of warfare. One of the major changes resulting from the invention of crossbows was the introduction of armour.
Peasant farming is subsistence farming done to provide a living for the farmer and his or her family on a small scale.
Natural farming is an alternative, often ecologically sustainable system of farming which relies on local ecosystems and simple techniques to fertilize the soil or other methods of improving soil fertility.
Historically, most farmers practiced subsistence farming, and in many developing countries that is still the case.
Subcultures bring together people with similar views who feel they do not fit in with the mainstream, and allow them to express themselves freely.
Subcultures can be distinguished by age, ethnicity, class, location, and/or purpose.
A subculture can be defined as a group of people with a particular style of life which distinguishes them from the rest of society. These can be linguistic, aesthetic, religious, political, sexual, geographic, or otherwise.
Members of a subculture often display their membership through style of clothing, behavior, and language.
One of the most common misconceptions about the importance of socialization is the belief that children who are neglected or abused are not socialized, for example.
These children are referred to as "feral" or "wild" children. Some feral children were abused or neglected by the general public (often their parents); others were abused or neglected by their parents.
Children in the wild may be exposed to a lot more violence or trauma before they die or escape.
Others were suspected of being witches; some were put to death for witchcraft.
If a wild child is raised by non-humans, it will grow up (develop mentally) in much the same way as if it were raised by humans, for example, by bears or ignored by humans.
Although project-based learning should replace direct instruction and facilitate a constructivist approach, it is still useful.
Carousing is not about learning, but about helping those who learn in a new way, e.g. using a new computer program or starting a new project.
A plug-in may be either virtual or physical, depending on the context, a teacher is a plug-in but a plug-in can also refer to a Microsoft Office component.
Virtual tutors have been built into the software and are designed to guide, prompt and reveal to students the pitfalls of procedures they may not be able to master on their own.
Children go to boarding schools for a variety of reasons, ranging from bullying to dyslexia and dyspraxia.
No child should ever be raised in an environment that is abusive, neglectful, and exploitative, but that is exactly what is happening.
We believe that the helicopter system is a safety zone for these children.
Our global system must put food on the table, clothes on our backs, keep the lights on and provide health care.
Parents should give children everything they lacked at home, where they grew up.
The Internet combines both machine and human communication.
The ubiquitous nature of the Internet brings additional dimensions to the use and acquisition of knowledge.
For example, "learning" and "socialization" are offered as important motivations for Internet use (James and colleagues, 1995).
J. Eighmey and L. McCord (1998) also identified new aspects of motivation in their study of audience reactions to an online world, namely "personal involvement" and "interpersonal relationships".
Using video footage, they were able to pinpoint the exact moment of impact, which lasted for several milliseconds.
The first thing to note is that it is possible to determine whether a person is lying or not, with a properly calibrated polygraph.
In his work The President's Speech, Oliver Sacks suggests that people who are unable to understand language due to brain damage are often able to understand emotions.
He even suggests that animals might have a sense of morality, for example pet dogs.
Research in the 20th century showed that there are two types of genetic variation: insertions and deletions.
A mutation introduces a new genetic variant, and a deletion removes one.
Segregation and recombination give rise to the possibility of being in two places at the same time.
The invention relates to a primate, which resembles a human in the way its immune system recognizes minor histocompatibility antigens derived from tissues of transplanted organs.
This deficiency has dire consequences: weight gain, obesity and ultimately death.
The best sources of protein are nuts and seeds, but these are hard to digest for most of us.
On the other hand, animal proteins (beef, chicken, fish) are not only easily digested but also provide all essential amino acids.
When you look at all the evidence, it is hard not to think that our ancestors dealt with the "chair problem" in much the same way as today's chimpanzees do.
A power nap is a short sleep, typically of 10 to 30 minutes, taken during the day.
This can easily be done using a contact lens cleaning solution, which will clean your lenses without damaging them in the slightest.
If you wake up in the middle of the night, you may be able to help yourself by moving to another part of the room, so that you can get out of bed without waking your partner.
Another alternative is to drink a diuretic (water or herbal tea) before bedtime, as this will make you go to the toilet and thus keep you from falling asleep.
The size of a man's ego is directly proportional to the size of his hat and his shoes.
The less sleep you get, the more likely you are to be irritable and short-tempered. Everyone has a limit to how much sleep they can get, and once that limit is reached, they become irritable and short-tempered.
Anyone can get depressed, and the stigma associated with depression is one of the biggest obstacles to getting help.
Tibetan Buddhism is a part of the learning in Bodhgaya, but a meditation hall and a number of Indian yoga methods have been introduced.
In essence, Tibetan Buddhism is very similar. It consists of Kundalini yoga, meditation and all the various love paths.
In kundalini yoga, kundalini energy (the energy of consciousness) is awakened through various yoga poses, breathing techniques, mantras, and visualization.
Tibetan meditation center is Deity Yoga (Dieviškoji joga). Visualizing various deities opens energy channels, activates chakras and brings enlightenment.
Germany in World War II was a divided nation, torn between cooperating with the USSR and the USA. After the war, the systems, processes, and cultures clashed.
Two years before the end of the war, the partners became enemies and started the Cold War.
It lasted another 40 years and was actually fought using regular armies from Africa to Asia, from Afghanistan to Cuba and many other places.
By September 17, 1939, the Polish army had already been defeated, and the only hope was to retreat and wait for reinforcements from Romania.
However, these plans were postponed overnight when more than 800,000 Soviet Red Army soldiers invaded the eastern regions of Poland, violating the Treaty of Riga, the Treaty of Non-Aggression between the Soviet Union and Poland, and other bilateral and multilateral treaties, thus creating the Belarusian and Ukrainian fronts.
Using ships to transport goods overseas is the most efficient way to move large amounts of people and goods.
Traditionally, naval forces have been used to ensure that sea lanes are kept open for trade, and to protect the movement of troops and supplies.
One of the most notable examples of this during the Second World War was the campaign in Northwest Europe. The Americans used the Atlantic Ocean as a barrier to prevent the Germans from reinforcing or resupplying their forces in Great Britain.
At the same time, the German Navy, mostly using submarines, tried to stop these deliveries.
If the allies had been defeated, Germany would probably have been able to conquer both Britain and the rest of Europe.
Earliest known use of the word is c. 10,000 BCE in the Zagros Mountains of what is now Iran.
Ancient peoples and tribes began to hunt them to easily get milk, meat, wool and skins.
Bows and arrows were usually made of wood, sometimes reinforced with bamboo or other materials, often they were tipped with poison, which was usually administered by a child or an adult, similar to what we now know as poisoned darts. This continued until the present.
Railways were invented in England in the 16th century.
Although the wheels were only made of wood with leather straps, they allowed wheeled vehicles to move more quickly and could carry heavier loads than the wheels of the time.
The boots were made fairly early on to protect the runners. However, it became apparent that the shoes were more effective if made of metal.
This became a common practice, but the weight of the carriages meant that bogies had to be reinforced.
Eventually, roads were replaced by railroads. The first completely railroad bridges were built in 1767.
The first known hominid was an ape that walked upright about two million years ago - the species Homo erectus.
At first, the australopithecines were not always at the top of the food chain.
The fossil evidence of bipedalism in Australopithecus is 4.2–3.9 million years old, but Sahelanthropus may have been bipedal as early as 7 million years ago.
We can start living more sustainably by making small changes in our day-to-day lives, we can join the movement for sustainable consumption and even become activists to reduce the risk of over-consumption in the future.
In most cases, it looks like symptomatic treatment. However, in order to make a long-term decision, we need to find and eliminate the root of the problem.
It is obvious enough that the world has changed dramatically as a result of the acquisition of knowledge and technology by the people, and the problems have arisen because of population growth and an extravagant way of life.
It was delivered to Congress on July 4, 1776, and the Declaration was signed by John Hancock and Secretary Charles Thomson. It was then sent to George Washington's headquarters, which was in New York at the time.
Between 150 and 200 copies were produced overnight, now known as "Dunlap editions".
For the first time, the document was publicly presented by Jonas Nixon in the Independence Hall on July 8.
The document was delivered to George Washington on July 6, 1776 and on July 9 he dispatched it to his troops in New York. A copy arrived in London on October 10, 1776.
The twenty-five surviving copies of the original Dunlap broadside, of which this is one, are the earliest known copies of the Declaration of Independence. The original was destroyed.
Most modern paleontologists believe that one group of dinosaurs survived and still exists today, called birds.
Most people do not enjoy being compared to dinosaurs because they are extinct and no longer around.
But pterosaurs still bore a number of similarities to dinosaurs.
Their feet were webbed and clawed, they swam like ducks and walked on two legs like ostriches.
In essence, all of today's computers are based on the manipulation of binary numbers, which are just 1s and 0s.
A binary digit, or bit, can only have the values 0 or 1; that is, it is a two-state device. These states are called binary digits, or bits, in English; in computer jargon they are called bits.
Primary infections can be hard to diagnose without a test; its symptoms, such as fever, are quite nonspecific and thus hard to distinguish from other illnesses without a test.
The most common treatment for middle ear infections is a course of antibiotics or antibiotic ear drops.
Check the label for specific instructions on how to care for the item.
Entomologists formally use the term "fly" to refer to this group of insects.
The term "parasite" comes from an ancient Greek word meaning "one who eats at the table of another."
Both detached and semi-detached houses are end-terrace or back-to-back.
There are about 400,000 known cases of MS in the United States, so it is a major cause of neurological disability in young and middle-aged adults.
MS is a disease that affects the central nervous system, which includes the brain, spinal cord and optic nerves.
Women are twice as likely as men to be killed by an intimate partner, according to studies.
Parents may worry that their child is not interested in growing up.
These couples may devise a plan to take care of each other.
In the case of surrogacy, biological parents relinquish their parental rights so that the intended parents can become the legal parents of the child.
The main aim of science is to investigate the world and everything about it using a systematic method. This method is by far the most important in most scientific investigations.
However, this is not the only thing - the experiment is a test used to disprove one or more hypotheses by disproving a claim, and also helps to direct further scientific research.
Biologists and philosophers of biology tend to put most emphasis on classic texts, especially in the English language.
Aristotle's views were widely accepted in all branches of learning, including psychology.
Iraq's Abu Ghraib prison was razed to the ground.
Most of the physiological and behavioral rhythms are intimately associated with endogenous cycles and their interactions with biological clocks.
It has been observed that cyclical patterns that are not a response to seasonal changes have most of the characteristics of living things, including bacteria, viruses, fungi, and animals.
Biological clocks are self-sustaining generators of circadian rhythms even in the absence of external cues.
Hershey and Chase's experiment was one of the most important in demonstrating that DNA is the hereditary material.
Hershey and Chase used viruses or bacteria to inject their CRISPR into the cells.
They carried out two experiments, marking DNR cells with radioactive phosphorus or a radioactive isotope of iron - radioactive serum.
Mutations can have many different effects, depending on the type of mutation, the part of the genome that is affected, and whether the mutation is in a coding or non-coding part of a gene.
Only a slight change in the thickness of the lens can cause a change in the focal length, whereas a slight change in the thickness elsewhere in the lens can cause a change in the focal power or focal length.
Wildlife tourism involves travelling to wilderness areas to see wild animals and plants.
The site offers a range of activities including hiking, photography, bird watching, camping and information on ecosystem studies.
Examples include orangutan conservation, photography and learning about orangutans in Borneo.
In the morning, people drive out of small towns to go to work in larger towns, and in the evening, they drive back. For some, their workplace is in the larger town they drive to in the morning, and for others, their workplace is in the smaller town they drive through in the morning.
In this privatized system of mass transportation, although they are related and support the mass transportation system, private cars are seen as competitors of the mass transportation system.
Scientific evidence suggests that this large-scale shift in the English economy may have destabilised the ecosystems that had supported human evolution for the past two million years.
Everyone participates in the society and uses the transportation system. Almost everyone complains about the transportation system.
In developed countries, complaints about water quality or taste are uncommon.
Why does the transportation system generate such complaints, why does it have problems every day? Are the transportation engineers incompetent? Or is the problem more fundamental?
Traffic flow is the study of the movement of vehicles and people along roads and streets, and the effects of that movement on the road network.
Due to the complexity of the process, it is difficult to set a target of 100% accuracy for the judges.
It is good to see that drivers on the road respect each other; therefore, traffic jams usually have the right amount of patience and can be calculated mathematically.
To better understand the flow of fluids, three basic characteristics of fluids are defined: 1) density, 2) viscosity and 3) velocity.
These agreements help to plan, design and operate road infrastructure.
Bats were the first mammals to take to the skies, and their ability to see in the dark helped them hunt and navigate more effectively in their new environment.
Most tumors are benign - they do not spread to other parts of the body.
This allows them to squeeze into small spaces.
Today, the only birds that are unable to make their own feathers are ostriches and emus.
Thousands of years ago, Aristarchus said that the solar system orbits the Sun.
Some people think he was right, but most think he was wrong: that the Solar System formed along with the Sun (and the other stars) out of a spinning cloud of gas and dust.
It seems logical, because we don't know if the Earth is going to tilt or not, do we?
The Amazon River is the second longest and largest river on Earth. It is more than eight times longer than the second longest river, and has more than twice the volume of the second largest river.
The Amazon is also the longest river in the world, with a length of almost 10,000 km.
20 percent of the water that falls as rain on the land eventually flows into the oceans from the Amazon.
The main stem of the Amazon River is 6,387 km (3,980 mi) long. It is fed by thousands of tributaries.
Although the pyramids were built from the end of the Old Kingdom to the end of the New Kingdom, the Great Pyramid of Giza has never been surpassed in size or sophistication.
The ancient Egyptians of the New Kingdom destroyed many of the earlier monuments that were more than a thousand years old.
The Vatican City has about 800 inhabitants, making it the smallest independent state in the world.
Italian is used in Vatican laws and official announcements.
Italian is also a language that is spoken by a large number of workers in the country on a daily basis, and Latin is often used in religious contexts.
All of the Vatican's residents are Roman Catholics.
People have known about the basic chemical elements, such as oxygen, hydrogen, and iron, for a long time, because they can be observed in their familiar states and can be easily collected with simple tools.
Aristotle, a philosopher, theorized that everything is made of four elements: earth, water, air, and fire.
It was more akin to the four states of matter (solid, liquid, gas and plasma) though he also envisioned it as a new type of matter that comprised the stuff we see all around us.
Heavy metals are naturally-occurring elements with two or more valence electrons. Don't forget that there are many elements in the periodic table.
Such elements as calcium and iron are found in metals. Of course, there are other metals - silver, gold.
Also, you can have windows with small amounts of non-metal elements, such as glass.
Everything is made out of tiny bits of stuff called "atoms". All atoms are made out of even smaller bits of stuff called "sub-atomic particles".
Atoms are so small that a trillion of them could fit on the end of a needle.
So the bear became a friend to many people.
With the advent of new writing systems, the status of punctuation has changed and its use has decreased.
Nowadays, people write notes on computer screens and they never need to look for a notepad.
It can only be imagined how the piano becomes obsolete in the face of some new technology.
Nuclear fission works because it takes a lot of energy to split a nucleus that has many protons and neutrons.
It's similar to throwing a ball up a mountain - the ball will come back down eventually but it will lose some energy on the way.
When the orbits of some of the atoms are not stable, they give off radiation as they slowly decay or completely disintegrate.
The island is rocky and barren; the outermost island is called Pluto.
Pluto is about 70 AU from the Sun on average, and 100 AU at perihelion.
It is smaller than the Mediterranean Sea and smaller than the Atlantic Ocean.
The southern end may have had more Pacific Ocean, as the plate is thinner there. Volcanic activity was probably concentrated closer to the edge.
The Theory of Moral Sentiments was a contribution to the search for what gives rise to, or makes sense of, people's sense of right and wrong.
These theories suggest that people have certain needs and (or) desires that are internalized.
The essence of this theory is that people are motivated to do things because of what they believe will happen as a result of their doing those things, and because of what they believe will happen if they do not do those things.
Two popular theories of motivation are Maslow's hierarchy of needs and Herzberg's two-factor theory.
In general, when managers start managing their former peers, two types of behaviors can be observed. One is the attempt to distance oneself from "one of the boys" or "one of the girls."
These managers find it hard to make unpopular decisions, to fire a friend, to reward performance over loyalty, to hire the best person for the job, and to manage people.
There's another character in this play who I think represents the person who thinks they have to change the whole nature of the work in order to be relevant.
In the end, it is the captain who is responsible for the success and failure of the team.
Such actions often cause disagreements between managers and other members of the team.
Virtual teams can have the same standards and traditions as real teams, but there are some differences.
Members of virtual teams are often isolated from their online colleagues.
They are often more knowledgeable than regular members, since their travel schedules may allow them to visit locations that are inaccessible to regular members.
The true "invisible team" (Larson and LaFasto, 1989, p. 109) is also a unique part of the virtual team.
A "blind team" is a management team that receives reports from all members. A blind team sets standards for everyone.
Why would an organization spend a lot of time creating a learning organization? The purpose of the learning organization is innovation.
When all the resources are effectively used in all the functional areas of the organization, there is efficiency and effectiveness.
Therefore, the organization is working to fill the gap and create a new process that will meet the customer's needs.
For the organisation to become innovative, leaders need to create new habits, disseminate knowledge and nurture a culture of learning.
Angel (2006) illustrates the power of the method as a tool to help organizations reach their highest potential.
Neuroscience provides a physical perspective on the study of learning. Thus, it raises the level of scientific research and makes it more accurate.
The link between the brain disorder and the behaviour confirms a hypothesis put forward by scientists.
For a long time it has been known that different types of head injuries, traumas, disorders and diseases affect the brain and cause some of its functions to change.
With the advent of new technologies, we have the ability to see and understand structures and processes of the brain that were previously unknown.
It provides us with a lot of information and materials to create simulation models and better understand the processes.
Although AI has a strong connection to science fiction, it is very important for the field of computer science, which tackles problems of perception, learning and intelligent agents.
They are used to automate repetitive tasks that would be difficult to do by hand.
For example, there is management, planning and planning, the ability to respond to patient diagnoses and questions, also the recognition of prescriptions, signs and symptoms.
These parts became separate disciplines dealing with the giving of advice on real-world decisions.
Artificial intelligence is now being used in economic, medical, engineering and military fields, and is also integrated into many home computers and video games.
Field trips are an important part of any class. Often teachers will take their students on a field trip to a place that is inaccessible by bus.
Technology provides a choice - virtual tours. Pupils can explore the museum's historical artefacts, peer into the aquarium or even sample a delicious meal, all from their classroom.
Virtual tours are a great way to prepare for a trip and to get a sense of what it's like to travel with a group.
For example, current students at Bennet School in North Carolina are creating a website about their journey to the state capital, which is being reconstructed now, but the old version of the website serves as a memory album.
In addition, e-mail can corrupt students' writing. Although students' grammar and writing in initial e-mails on the web is often poor, the audience is usually forgiving.
As students are often the most critical audience, the writer usually tries to finish the article as soon as possible to avoid criticism.
Furthermore, the use of blogs "teaches students more quickly about the global world." The reason for this is that it draws the audience in and makes them interested (Toth, 2004).
Blogging is a tool to connect and engage students beyond the walls of a traditional classroom.
Properly used blogs "can help students acquire analytical and critical thinking skills; by actively interacting with online content, learners can also develop their position by commenting on other people's posts, as well as articulating their views on specific issues (Oravec, 2002).
Ottawa is a sophisticated, bi-lingual Canadian capital city with museums and galleries showcasing the country's past and present.
Further south are the Niagara Falls, while the north is sparsely populated with natural beauty of the Muskoka Lakes and other areas.
All of these and other Ontario-based immigration streams are tailored to meet Canada's specific needs.
Further north, large areas are very sparsely populated and some parts are practically uninhabited.
The racial makeup of the population, which is of interest to many: Canadians are fewer than African-Americans in the U.S.
The Indian Ocean surrounds the eastern coast of Africa.
Madagascar is the largest island, and in terms of land area it is the fourth largest island on Earth.

Women: Recommended that all female travellers should say they are married, regardless of their actual marital status, for their own safety.
In addition, it teaches you how to move your feet (not just the fancy moves you see on TV.
Women need to be aware that cross-cultural misunderstandings could lead to embarrassment or even offence, even though they may be innocent.
Try to get to know the man and don't be afraid to show your differences (cultural differences don't mean you have to hide who you are).
The current city of Casablanca was founded by the Berbers in the 10th century BC as a trading post for the Phoenicians, Romans, and Moroccans, who used it as a strategic stop on the way to Anfa.
The Portuguese renamed it to Casa Branca, but it was destroyed in the 1755 Lisbon earthquake.
The Moroccan Sultan replaced the city with Dar el Beida and the name Casablanca was given to it by Spanish traders who set up a trading post here.
Casablanca is one of the most underrated places to visit in Morocco.
It is hard to find a place in the Medina that sells such traditional Moroccan goods as tagines, pottery, leather goods, jewellery and all manner of knick-knacks, but all of this is aimed at tourists.
Goma is a tourist-attracting town in the eastern part of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, not far from Rwanda.
In 2002, Goma was destroyed by a lava flow from the Nyiragongo volcano, which destroyed a large part of the city center, especially the city center.
Although Goma is quite safe, one should be aware of the information that will help to understand the current situation in the North Kivu province.
It is also possible to trek to the nearby Nyiragongo volcano and one of the best places in Africa to see mountain gorillas.
You can use moto-taxis (motorcycle taxis) to get around in Goma. The normal (local) fare for a short ride is about 500 Congolese francs.
Given its remote location, Timbuktu represents a metaphor for the inaccessible and mysterious.

The Kruger National Park (KNP) is located in the northeast of South Africa and borders Mozambique in the east, Zimbabwe in the north and the Crocodile River in the south.
The park covers an area of 19,500 km² and is divided into 14 ecological zones, each with its own set of plants and animals.
It is one of the major attractions of Southern Africa and a good example of a Southern African National Park (SANParks).
Similar to all other national parks in Southern Africa, this park charges a daily conservation and entrance fee.
It can be useful to get a "Wild Card" permit, which allows you to enter or exit at any of the main Southern African parks, or all of the national parks in Southern Africa.
The name of the country derives from the name of the Congo River, which in turn took its name from the city of Congo, which is now overshadowed by the much larger city of Kinshasa.

To get the best view of Hong Kong, leave the island and take a ferry to Kowloon on the mainland.
Most of the cities in the Congo Basin are surrounded by a belt of jungle on the north side.
This area was colonized by the British, so if you are interested in colonial history then this is a good place to start.
The Sundarbans is the largest contiguous mangrove forest in the world, spreading over 80 km (50 miles) along the Bay of Bengal in Bangladesh and India.
The Sundarbans are a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The part which is in India is called the Sundarbans National Park.
Besides the mangrove forests, the park is also home to some of the last remaining patches of primeval rainforest and grassland in the Gangetic plains.
The Sundarbans covers 3,850 km² (1,490 sq mi), of which about one third is water.
Royal Bengal tigers have been found in the Sundarbans since 1966. It is estimated that there are about 400 Royal Bengal tigers and about 30,000 spotted deer in the area now.
Buses depart from the bus station (outside the gate) throughout the day, although most buses to the east and Bumthang/Jakar depart between 06:30 and 07:30.
Since suburban buses are often full, it is recommended to get tickets well in advance.
Many areas are accessible only by boat, and are serviced by Japanese motor coaches called Coasters.
Taxis are reasonably priced and a good way to get to out-of-the-way places such as Paro (Nu 150) and Punakha (Nu 200).
The Oyapoc River forms the border. Crossing the Oyapoc River one enters the Brazilian town of Oyapock and leaves the French town of Saint-Georges de l'Oyapock.
The two towers are 83 meters high and the total length of the bridge is 378 meters, it is composed of two 3.50 meters wide plates.
The vertical distance between the towers is 15 meters. The construction was completed in July 2011, but the bridge was not opened until April 2017.
The bridge is expected to open in September 2017, as that is when the Brazilian customs post is scheduled to move in.
The Guarani were an indigenous group living in present-day eastern Paraguay - they were also skilled farmers who cleared the land before cultivating it.
Other indigenous peoples lived in the Chaco region, such as the Wichita and Pawnee, who farmed, hunted, and traded.
In the 16th century, Paraguay, which had been previously known as the "Spanish Colony of La Plata", was taken over by Spanish conquerors who clashed with the local indigenous groups.
The Spanish began a three-hundred-year period of colonization soon after.
Since the founding of Asunción in 1537, Paraguay has been able to preserve its local character and identity.
Argentina is proud of having one of the best teams and players in the world.
The biggest battles of the year are fought in winter in the Las Canitas fields.
There are smaller tournaments and battles going on all the time.
News of the matches and where to apply for tickets can be found on the Argentine Polo Association website.
The official currency of the Falkland Islands is the Falkland Island pound (FKP), which is pegged to the British pound at a rate of 1:1.
Cash can only be withdrawn from a single island-based bank, located near the Stanley Market on FIC West.
British pounds, as well as "Stanley" credit cards, are usually accepted all over the country; U.S. dollars are also widely accepted.
It is unlikely that you will be able to use your bank cards in the Outer Islands, but you may be able to exchange Pounds Sterling and US Dollars. Check with your bank well in advance of your departure to find out about exchange rates and the types of currency they will accept.
It is almost impossible to change Folkland's shoreline for the shoreline of the island, so change your money before leaving the island.
Montevideo is south of the equator, so it has a summer in the southern hemisphere and a winter in the northern hemisphere.
Montevideo has a humid subtropical climate, with summer temperatures often above 30 °C (86 °F).
Low temperatures can be deceptive: although the air may not feel very cold, the combination of wind chill and humidity can make it feel colder than the thermometer indicates.
It is not a very rainy and snowy season: the amount of rainfall and snowfall per year is relatively small.
While many park animals are fed by humans, this does not mean they are tame and it is dangerous to approach or try to feed them.
Please remember to keep 100 yards / 91 meters away from bears and 25 yards / 23 meters away from all other wildlife at all times, as requested by the park administration.
Moose, bears, wolves and just about any other wild animal, even some supposedly friendly ones, can be dangerous.
Every year dozens of hikers get lost because they underestimate the distance. These animals are large, easy to spot, and potentially dangerous, so give them a wide berth.
Also keep in mind that bats disperse seeds and pollinate plants, so destroying or killing bats can damage forests and meadows and should be avoided if possible.
Apia is the capital of Samoa. It is on the island of Upolu and has about 40,000 people.
Apia was established in the 1860s in the nineteenth century and has been the official capital of Samoa since 1959.

The actual booking gives the traveller the certainty that he will have somewhere to sleep when he arrives at his destination.
Travel agencies often have contracts with specific hotels, though you can usually book other accommodations through a travel agency.
Travel agents usually offer packages which include flights, ground transportation to and from the airport, and sometimes even combined airfare and hotel rates.
They can also reserve a place for you if you need time to think about the offer or to get other documents required in the country (e.g. a visa).
Although any changes or cancellations should first be discussed with the travel agency, not the hotel directly.
At some music festivals, the vast majority of attendees stay on the festival site, as they believe this is part of the experience of the festival.
If you want to be an active participant, you need to get there early to get a good spot.
Don't forget that even after the main acts have finished there could be after-parties on the festival site that go on until the early hours.
Some of the festivals offer special camping areas for families with small children.
If you are going to cross the northern part of the Baltic Sea in winter, make sure to choose a cabin, as crossing the ice can be dangerous.
Taking a cruise around St. Petersburg is a good way to get an overview of the city. Cruise passengers do not need visas (see below).
Casinos typically have a lot of distractions to keep patrons occupied and to get them to stay longer and spend more money. Most casinos are noisy and crowded, and the maze of distractions can be disorienting.
They usually offer specialty food, dining, and entertainment to keep guests on-site and away from other area attractions.
In some locations, alcoholic drinks are offered free of charge. However, the availability of free drinks varies widely and all good bars will have a wide range of drinks available.
Anyone planning to hike on glaciers or cross glacial rivers should check for glacial outbursts, avalanches or unfavorable temperatures.
With the ice and snow on the roads, there is little traffic, so there is no need to drive on the top layer of asphalt.
During heavy snowfall, roads can become impassable over a short amount of time.
Visibility can be affected by rain, fog, or smoke, as well as by the car's windshield.
Water, ice, and snow are common in many parts of the world, and glaciers can be found in both the northern and southern hemispheres.
Safaris are probably the most rewarding and unique way to experience Africa.
The term "safari" is commonly used to mean a journey to see wildlife, especially on safari in Africa.
Some animals, such as elephants and giraffes, often approach cars so they are quite easy to see and using a normal lens is usually sufficient.
Lions, leopards and cheetahs sometimes hunt in groups and are best seen through binoculars.
A safari is an overland journey, traditionally a big-game hunt, though the meaning has expanded to include travel to see other attractions.
The Paralympic Games will be held from 24 August to 5 September 2021. Some events will be held in other locations in Japan.
Tokyo will be the only Asian city to have hosted both the summer and winter Olympics, after the games were held there in 1964.
If you booked your flights and hotel for 2020 before the ban was announced, you may be able to get a refund.
The details of the refund policy vary, but as of the end of March, most insurers had not made any refunds related to the coronavirus policy since July 2020, when the Olympics were scheduled to take place.
