While one experimental vaccine has been shown to reduce mortality from Ebola, there is still no drug that has been shown to be effective in treating existing infections.
Initially, a cocktail of antibodies called ZMapp looked promising in this range, but official studies found it was less effective at preventing death than required.
In the PALM trial, ZMapp was the control, meaning that scientists used it as a benchmark and compared it to the other three treatments.
USA Gymnastics supports the letter from the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Committee, including the family's desire to promote a safe environment for all of our athletes.
We agree with the statement of the U.S. Olympic Committee (USOC) that athletes and our clubs may benefit more by moving forward with significant changes within our organization rather than withdrawing licenses or certifications.
USA Gymnastics supports an independent investigation that may reveal the ways in which the organization has failed to protect athletes from sexual abuse over a long period of time, as courageous survivors of Larry Nassar have bravely brought to light, while also accepting necessary and appropriate changes.
USA Gymnastics and USOC have the same goal, which is to make gymnastics and other sports as safe as possible for athletes so they can pursue their dreams in a safe, beneficial, and empowering environment.

This not only confirms the widespread theory that some dinosaurs had hair, but also provides additional detail that fossils in general cannot provide, such as color and three-dimensional arrangement.
Scientists said the fur of the animal had a brownish color like the top of a pineapple, and a darker or carotene-like color on the bottom.
The discovery also sheds light on the evolution of bird feathers.
Because dinosaur feathers do not have a well-developed rachis, but do have other avian features such as barbs and barbules, the researchers concluded that rachis must have evolved after these other features.
The structure of the feathers showed that they were not for flying, but for controlling temperature or just for show, the researchers said. Although this was a young dinosaur's tail, the sample showed that it was a full-grown bird's feather, not a juvenile's.
The researchers noted that although the fossil was only a few million years old, the sample showed that it was the feather of an adult bird, not a juvenile.
Two police officers were killed and more than 20 others were injured in an explosion at a police station in the Turkish city of Gaziantep this morning.
The sheriff's office said 19 of the injured were police officers.
Police said they suspected a Daesh (ISIL) group was responsible for the attack.
They found that the movement of the sun used the same basic principles as other stars, finding that all the activities of the stars in the system were driven by their brightness and rotation alone, with nothing else.
Light and rotation are used together to determine the Rossby number of a star, which is related to the plasma flow.
The fewer the Rosby numbers, the slower the planet's rotation will be inversely proportional to the Earth's magnetic pole reversal.

Most of the completed work is consistent with theory, but the program was written to simulate the observation of the galactic Sagittarius dwarf galaxy.
The team's desired effect should come from the tidal forces between the dark matter of the galaxy and the dark matter of the Milky Way.
Chang'e-1 sent power to pull the Galileo satellites towards it, just as the Moon pulls the Earth's oceans with its gravitational pull.
Scientists can conclude that dark matter affects dark matter in the same way that normal matter affects normal matter.
The theory states that one dark matter halo surrounds one galaxy in a halo, and is made up of many small particles.

Dr. Tony Moll found the most drug-resistant form of tuberculosis (XDR-TB) in the KwaZulu-Natal region of South Africa.
In an interview, he said the new mutation was "surprising and disturbing" because of the high mortality rate.
Dr. Mull believes some patients may have been infected at the hospital, with at least two hospital health officials infected.
Within a year, an infected person can infect 10 to 15 close contacts.
However, all tuberculosis patients appear to have a low percentage of XDR-TB, which is about 6,000 out of a total of 330,000 people infected at any one time in South Africa.

In France, voting uses very little technology according to the old plan, with voters standing alone in a booth, filling out a pre-printed ballot and placing it in an envelope.
After verifying the identity of the voter, the voter must place the ballot in the ballot box and sign the voter registration list.

Candidates can appoint observers at every stage, in the evening, volunteers will count the ballots under strict supervision according to a specific procedure.

In her other event, the Giant Slalom, she finished 10th in the women's seated group, with a combined time of 4:41.30, behind Claudia Loesch, who was first in 2:11.60, and Gyöngyi Dani of Hungary, who was ninth in 1:09.02.
Four women skiers were unable to finish the race, and 45 of the 117 skiers in the Giant Slalom were unable to finish the race.
State police can recover stolen laptops and cell phones.
Deputy Inspector DKRya said: "We have arrested five people who raped a Swiss woman and recovered her phone and laptop."
The accused are Baba Kanjar, Putta Kanjar, Rampur Kanjar, Gusa Kanjar and Vishnu Kanjar.
Chandra Shekhar Solanki, the director of police, said the accused appeared in court with his face covered.
Although three people were in the house at the time of the crash, no one was injured.
However, the driver sustained serious head injuries.
A temporary road closure was put in place while emergency services removed the driver from a red Audi TT.
Initially he was treated at James Paget Hospital in Great Yarmouth.
He was then moved to Addenbrooke's Hospital in Cambridge.
Adekoya was arrested at Edinburgh Sheriff Court on charges of murdering his son since then.
She was taken into custody while awaiting charges and a trial in court, but witnesses who saw the incident may not carry much weight as her image was widely disseminated.
In other parts of the United Kingdom, this is common practice, but the Scottish justice system does not operate in this way, and the court considered that the publication of the photographs could be harmful.
Professor Pamela Fergusson, of the University of Dundee, said: "It looks as if the reporter is walking a dangerous path if he releases all the pictures of the suspect."
The prosecutor's office, which is responsible for the overall prosecution, made clear to reporters that there would be no further comment until at least the preliminary hearing.
According to leaked documents, the document will refer to the border dispute that Palestinians want based on the borders before the 1967 Arab-Israeli war.
Other topics include the future status of Jerusalem, which is a holy site for both countries, and the issue of the Jordan Valley.
Israel is demanding a 10-year extension of its military presence in the West Bank after signing the agreement, while the Palestinian National Authority has agreed to a five-year presence.
Firearms officers in the pilot project will be closely monitored by forest rangers as the project will be monitored and assessed for effectiveness.
In partnership with the NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service and the NSW Rifle Association, suitable volunteers have been selected under the NSW Rifle Association's hunting program.
According to Mick O'Flynn, acting director of conservation and heritage at the park, four marksmen have been selected for the first shooting operation and have received comprehensive training and safety briefings.
Yesterday, Martelle was sworn in as a member of the new nine-member Citizens' Electoral Panel (CEP).
This is the fifth CEP for Martelly in four years.
Last month, the Presidential Commission recommended that the previous CEP's resignation be part of a package of measures to lead the country to a new election.
Marshall appointed the commission in response to widespread protests that began in October.
Occasionally violent protests have been sparked by failures in the management of elections, some of which date back to 2011.
There have been about 60 reports of iPods malfunctioning and overheating, resulting in six fires and four minor injuries.
Japan's Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) said it was aware of 27 incidents involving the devices.
Last week, METI said Apple had reported an additional 34 incidents of overheating, which the company said were "non-serious."
The ministry responded to Apple's postponement of the company's report by saying it was "highly unlikely."
An earthquake hit Managua, Nicaragua, at 07.19 local time (21.19 GMT on Friday).
The Northern Marianas Emergency Management Office said there were no reports of damage within the country.
The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center also said there were no signs of a tsunami.
A former Philippine police officer held a group of Hong Kong tourists hostage by hijacking their bus in Manila, the capital of the Philippines.
Rolando Mendoza fired an M-16 rifle at tourists.
Many of the insured have been rescued, and so far at least six deaths have been confirmed.
Six hostages, including children and the elderly, were released before the photographer, a Filipino.
Several photographers replaced the elderly woman as she went to the toilet, and Mendosa was shot dead.
Lykins followed in his father's footsteps and became a doctor.
He trained as a surgeon and began working at the National Women's Hospital in Auckland in 1959.
While working in the hospital, in her spare time, Lickins began collecting data on preterm birth.
His research showed that if hormones were used, it would accelerate fetal lung growth in the womb.
The Xinhua news agency reported that government investigators recovered a "black box," which is a flight data recorder, on Wednesday.
Luna's fellow wrestlers also expressed their admiration for her.
Tommy Dreamer said, "Luna is the first Queen of Extreme, my first manager, Luna passed away on the night of the double moon, which was unique like her, she was a strong woman."
Dustin "Goldust" Rhodes commented that "Luna is as crazy as I am...maybe even more...I love her and I'll miss her...hopefully she's in a better place now."
From the 1,400 people who voted before the 2010 federal election, those opposed to Australia becoming a republic increased by eight per cent compared to 2008.
Julia Gillard, acting prime minister, said during the 2010 election campaign that she believed Australia would become a republic by the end of Queen Elizabeth II's reign.
34 per cent of those surveyed want Queen Elizabeth II to be Australia's last monarch.
From the survey, 29 per cent of respondents believe Australia should be a republic as soon as possible, while 31 per cent believe Australia should not be a republic under any circumstances.
This Olympic gold medallist will have to swim freestyle 100m and 200m and relays three times in the Commonwealth Games, but his complaints have raised doubts about his physical fitness.
He couldn't use the drugs he needed to beat the pain because they were banned from being used in competitive games.
Curtis Cooper, a mathematician and professor of computer science at Central Michigan University, discovered the largest known prime number on January 25.
Many have checked the validity of the discovery by using different hardware and software within the first week of February, and the announcement was made on Tuesday.
It is possible that comets are the source of water on Earth, along with organic compounds that can make proteins and help sustain life.
Scientists hope to understand how planets form, especially the formation of Earth, since it was hit by an asteroid billions of years ago.
Cuomo, 53, took office as governor earlier this year, and last month signed a bill to legalize same-sex marriage.
He called the rumor "political nonsense and stupidity."
He is expected to run for president in 2016.
NextGen is the system that the FAA says will allow planes to fly shorter routes and save millions of gallons of fuel each year, as well as reduce carbon emissions.
The technology is satellite-based, unlike the old ground-based radar technology, to help air traffic controllers locate aircraft more accurately and provide pilots with more precise information.
There will be no additional transport services and trains will not stop at Wembley, and there will be no on-street parking or car parks with public transport links.
The fear of a transport shortage means there is a possibility the game could be played quietly without any home support.
A study published in the journal Science on Thursday reported the birth of a new bird species in the Galapagos Islands of Ecuador.
Researchers from Princeton University in the U.S. and Uppsala University in Sweden reported that the new species had evolved within just two generations, whereas the process is believed to take longer, as it is a hybrid between Geospiza fortes, a local Darwin's finch, and Geospiza conirostris, a cactus finch.
We can make gold into any shape, and we can roll it into tiny shapes.
Gold can be drawn into a thin wire, which can be bent and woven into a pattern, and can also be hammered or rolled into sheets.
Gold can be made into thin sheets and attached to other metals. It can be made very thin, to the point that it is sometimes used in hand-painted illustrations in books called "illuminated manuscripts."
This is called the pH of the chemical, you can create an identifier by using tomato juice.
Kale juice changes color depending on the acidity or alkalinity of the chemical.
The pH is defined by the concentration of hydrogen ions (H+) in the chemical being tested.
The hydrogen ion is a proton that has been stripped of its electron (because the hydrogen atom is composed of a proton and an electron).
Mix the two dry ingredients together, then knead with clean, damp hands to form a ball.
The moisture on your hands will react with the outer layer, which will feel strange and form in the shape of a shell.
Nearly every house in the cities of Harappa and Mohenjo-daro had a flush toilet connected to a sophisticated sewage system.
Sewage systems have been found in the houses of cities in the Minoan and Mycenaean civilizations and at Santorini in Greece.
In ancient Egypt, Persia, and China, there were toilets as well. In ancient Roman times, toilets were sometimes part of public baths, which were used by both men and women.
When you call someone who is thousands of miles away, that means you are using a satellite.
Satellites in space receive the signal and almost instantaneously reflect it back.
Satellites launched by rockets require telescopes in space because the Earth's atmosphere bends and distorts some of our view.
It takes a giant rocket more than 100 feet tall to launch a satellite or telescope into space.
Wheels have changed the world in ways unimaginable. The greatest thing wheels have done for us is make transportation faster and more convenient.
It gave us trains, cars, and many other forms of transportation.
Following them are medium-sized lions and tigers, which eat medium-sized prey such as rabbits and deer.
Ultimately, there are many small cats (including feral cats) that eat much smaller prey, such as insects, rodents, lizards, and birds.
The secret to their success is the concept of territoriality, which is a special job that each cat holds to prevent them from competing with each other.
Lions are the most social cats, living in large groups called prides.
A pride consists of one to three adult male lions, several adult female lions, and up to 30 lion cubs.
As a large family consisting of a sister and a daughter, the female is often very close to her mate.
Lion behavior is similar to that of a wolf pack or a dog pack, which is a surprisingly lion-like (but not cat-like) animal, and is equally dangerous to its prey.
The leopard is an agile athlete, able to climb (though not very well), swim, jump far, and pull with five times the strength of a strong human.
Lions are in the same group as tigers, leopards and jaguars (Panthera). All four of these cats are capable of roaring.
The roar of a lion is different from the full-throated roar of a tiger, but it is more like a growling threat than a full-throated roar.
Wild cats like to eat small animals, if they can, they will catch lions, snakes, mice and birds, almost all the animals they hunt are smaller than themselves.
Scientists believe that wild cats track and stalk their prey (victims) by smelling where their prey has been on the ground.
They can see well in the dark with excellent night vision and move stealthily to catch their prey, ocelots stalk and pounce on their prey, blending in with their surroundings.
When a small group (a subpopulation) separates from the main population (for example, if they move to a mountain or a river, or if they move to a new island so that they can't easily move back to where they used to live), they often find themselves in a different environment.
The new environment will have different resources and competitors, so the new population will have to be different, or have the ability to adapt to become a stronger competitor than ever before.
The original population has not changed much, they still need to adapt to the same conditions as before.
Over time, as the new population adapts to its new environment, it will begin to look more like the other populations.
Eventually, after millions or even billions of years, the two populations became so different that they could no longer be called the same species.
We call this process speciation, which means the creation of new species, and speciation is an inevitable and essential part of evolution.
Plants produce oxygen that humans breathe and take in carbon dioxide that humans breathe out (which is what humans breathe out).
Plants make food from the sun by photosynthesis, and also provide shade.
We use plants to build houses and make most of the clothes and food we eat. Without plants, animals would not be able to survive.
Mosasaurus was the ultimate predator of the age, so it had nothing to fear but another mosasaur.
Its long jaw is packed with more than 70 razor-sharp teeth, plus a special set of teeth on the roof of its mouth, meaning nothing will get past it.
We don't know for sure, but it may have had a beak-like snout, and its diet may have consisted of turtles, large fish, other mosasaurs, and possibly other marine reptiles.
It also attacked anything that went into the water, even giant dinosaurs like T-Rex were no match for it.
Most of the Roman diet is familiar to us, but the Romans themselves had some odd or exotic foods for banquets, such as wild boar, ostrich, octopus, and a type of rodent called a dormouse.
Another difference was that while the poor and women ate while sitting on stools, the rich ate lavishly together, sitting on chairs.
It is not possible to add American or Asian foods that came to Europe centuries later to the Roman diet.
For example, ancient Romans did not have potatoes, tomatoes, corn, or even chocolate, and no Roman ever tasted chicken.
The Babylonians built the main temple, which was considered to be the home of each god.
People would offer sacrifices to the gods, and priests would try to fulfill the gods' wishes through rituals and festivals.
Each temple has an open courtyard, followed by an inner temple accessible only to monks.
Sometimes a special pyramid-shaped tower called a ziggurat was built as part of the temple.
The tower is a special place for the gods.
The climate in the Middle East is warm, so houses are not very important.
Jewish families lived outdoors most of the time.
Women cooked in the field, shops were just open counters facing the road, houses were built of stone.
The land of Canaan had no large forests, so wood was very expensive.
Finland is sparsely populated, according to Norse legends, Erik the Red was exiled from Iceland for murder, and on his westward journey he discovered Greenland and named it Greenland.
Though he was the discoverer, the Esquimaux were already living there at the time.
Although each country is "Scandinavian," the people, kings, customs, and histories of Denmark, Sweden, Norway, and Iceland are very different.
If you've ever seen an action-packed treasure hunt movie, you might think there's a map to the treasure written on the back of the Declaration of Independence.
However, that is not true. Although something was written on the back of the document, it was not a treasure map.
The text written on the back of the Declaration of Independence reads "The original Declaration of Independence, dated July 4, 1776," with the text appearing at the bottom of the document when inverted.
While no one knows who wrote it, we do know that early in its life, this large animal skin scroll (measuring 29¾ inches × 24½ inches) was rolled to be stored.
Therefore, it is possible that a note has been added to the label format.
The landings at Normandy and the fighting that followed have freed the north of France, but the south is still not free.
It was administered by French "Vichy" French, who were French who collaborated with the Germans in 1940 and worked with the invaders rather than fighting them.
On August 15, 1940, the Allies invaded southern France, known as "Operation Dragoon."
American and Free French forces liberated southern France and turned towards Germany within two weeks.
A civilization is a culture that is shared by a large group of people who live and work together in a society.
The word civilization (civlilzation) comes from the Latin word civilis, which means civilian, is related to the Latin word civis, which means citizen, and the Latin word civitas, which means city or state, and also defines the size of a society.
The city is an embodiment of a nation, a culture that has been passed down through many generations of people, the footprints of a culture that remains, and an equal expansion.
Subcultures often disappear without leaving any historical evidence and are not considered to be appropriate cultures.
During the Revolutionary War, the thirteen states had formed a rudimentary central government, under the Articles of Confederation, with a unicameral legislature.
Congress has no power to set taxes, and since there is no national or judicial authority, it must rely on state agencies, which often do not cooperate in enforcing all of Congress's actions.
In addition, Congress lacks the power to repeal state tax laws and interstate tariff rates.
Law must be unanimously approved by all states before it can be amended, and states don't pay much attention to the federal government, even their representatives don't come often.
The Italian national football team, including the German national football team, is the second most successful national football team in the world, and the two teams have won the FIFA World Cup in 2006.
Popular sports include football, basketball, volleyball, polo, fencing, rugby, cycling, ice hockey, roller hockey, and Formula 1 racing.
Winter sports are most popular in the north, with Italians participating in international and Olympic games.
Japan has almost 7,000 islands (Honshu is the largest) making it the 7th largest island in the world!
Because of the abundance of archipelagos in Japan, Japan is often referred to as an "archipelago" based on its geography.
Taiwan was born in the 15th century when European sailors passing through recorded the island's name as Ilha Formosa, or Beautiful Island.
In 1624, the Dutch East India Company established a base in Taiwan's southwest, initiating a change in traditional methods of crop production and hiring Chinese laborers to work on rice and sugar plantations.
In 1683, forces of the Qing Dynasty (1644-1912) took control of the western coast and the northern coast of Taiwan, and in 1885 declared Taiwan a province of the Qing Empire.
Following defeat in the First Sino-Japanese War (2437-2438) in 2438, the Qing government signed the Shimonoseki Treaty to cede sovereignty over Taiwan to Japan, which ruled the island until 2488.
Machu Picchu, an ancient Inca city, is composed of three main structures: the Intihuatana, the Temple of the Sun, and the Room of the Windows.
Most of the buildings on the perimeter of the complex have been rebuilt to give visitors a chance to see what they were like originally.
In 1976, thirty percent of Machu Picchu was restored and restoration continues to this day.
For example, the most common film format in the world is 35mm, which played a significant role in the end of the era of analog photography.
This type of film is still produced, but the more important issue is that the aspect ratio of the image is transmitted from the digital camera's image sensor format.
Actually, the 35mm format, which is 33mm wide and 24mm high, is a bit confusing.
The ratio of this format (divided by 12 for ease) is therefore known as 3:2.
Many common ratios (for example, the APS ratio) are equal or very close to the ratio of this image.
The three most abused and often ridiculed rules are the simple guidelines for creating power while maintaining order in the image.
Which is the most effective position for the main subject, is at the intersection of the lines that divide the image into three parts, both vertically and horizontally (see example).
During this period in European history, the wealthy and powerful Catholic Church was scrutinized in great detail.
For more than a thousand years, Christianity has linked the various states of Europe together, despite their different languages and customs.
The expansion of power affects everyone from the king to the common man.
One of the fundamental principles of Christianity is that wealth should be used to alleviate suffering and poverty, and the Church's funds are specifically earmarked for that purpose.
The central power of the church has been in Rome for more than a thousand years, and the concentration of power and money has led many to question whether it has been practicing its religious beliefs.
Shortly after the outbreak of the war, Britain had cut off Germany's sea communications.
The strategy has been shown to be effective by depriving the enemy of vital military and civilian supplies, although such blockades violate international law, which is generally accepted.
Britain laid mines in international waters to prevent ships from entering different parts of the ocean, posing a danger even to neutral ships.
Because of the limited response to this tactic, Germany expected a similar response to the unrestricted submarine warfare.
In the 1920s, most citizens and countries wanted peace and self-determination.
After witnessing the horrors and brutality of World War I, countries did not want to see such a thing happen again in the future.
In 1884, Tesla moved to the United States to work with Edison in New York City.
He arrived in the United States with four cents in his pocket, a book of poems, and a letter of recommendation from his previous manager, Charles Batler, to Thomas Edison.
Ancient China had a unique way of expressing the passage of time, by dividing it into periods of Chinese dynasties, or particular families that ruled as emperors.
Between the reigns of each dynasty was a period when the various provinces were not united and the best-known period was the Three Kingdoms, which lasted for 60 years between the Han and Jin dynasties.
A fierce battle between many knights vying for the throne took place at this time.
The Three Kingdoms period was one of the bloodiest periods in Chinese history. Thousands of people died in the fight for the throne in the Forbidden City in Beijing.
Social and political effects include the use of the metric system, the change from a monarchy to a republic, nationalism, and the belief that the country belongs to the people, not to a single ruler.
After the revolution, all professions were open to male applicants, opening up opportunities for those who were ambitious and most successful.
For the army, it's the same. Instead of promotions based on rank, they're based on the size of the gun.
Furthermore, the French Revolution also inspired workers who were oppressed in other countries to start their own revolutions.
Muhammad was very interested in things beyond the ordinary life. He often went to the cave later known as "Hira" on the mountain "Nur" (Light) to meditate.
The cave, which has survived the passage of time, shows a clear picture of the spirit's inclinations.
The cave is located on a mountain to the north of the city of Megka and is completely cut off from the rest of the world.
In fact, it's not easy to find it even if you know it exists. Once inside the cave, it's as if you've been completely cut off from the outside world.
Besides the clear, beautiful sky above and the many mountains that surround it, there is nothing else to see, almost nothing to see or hear from the world when inside the cave.
The Great Pyramid of Giza is one of the seven wonders of the ancient world still standing today.
The pyramid built by the ancient Egyptians in the third century B.C. is one of many large pyramids built to honor the pharaohs of the past.
The Great Pyramid of Giza, or "Great Pyramid of Giza" in the Valley of the Dead of the Egyptians, consists of many pyramids (where the Great Pyramid is the largest), many small tombs, many temples, and a sphinx.
The large pyramid was built to honor Pharaoh Kufu, and many smaller pyramids, tombs, and temples were built to honor his wives and family members.
The "bowed" symbol looks like a V, while the "bowed down" symbol looks like a paper stitch or a square with no bottom.
Up means you should start at the end of the crank and down means you should start at the horse shoe end of the crank (where your hand is gripping the crank).
Typically, a vibrato that goes up is softer, while a vibrato that goes down is louder and heavier.
You can draw your own slurs, but keep in mind that the printed accidentals are there for musical reasons, so normally they should be respected.
King Louis XVI and Queen Marie-Antoinette, their son and daughter (Marie-Thérèse, 11, and Louis-Charles, 4), and Madame Elisabeth, their daughter-in-law, were forced to leave Versailles and return to Paris on October 6, 1789.
They returned to Paris in a horse-drawn carriage surrounded by an angry mob of peasants and threatening the king and queen.
The crowd pressured the king and his entourage to keep the windows of the horse-drawn carriage open.
At one point, one of the royal guards who had been shot at Versailles stood in front of the terrified queen.
The Filipinos themselves had to pay the cost of the war to conquer the Philippines for the imperialist American empire.
They must pay taxes to the U.S. colonial regime to cover most expenses and interest on bonds issued in the name of the Philippine government through Wall Street banks.
Of course, the high profits derived from the long-term exploitation of Filipinos would count as the basic benefit of the American imperialist ideology.
To understand the Templars, we must understand the context that led to their creation.
The period in which this event took place is generally referred to as the High Middle Ages, which spanned the 11th, 12th and 13th centuries (AD 1000 -1300) of European history.
The High Middle Ages followed the Early Middle Ages, and was followed by the Late Middle Ages, which is generally considered to have ended around 1500.
The term "technology direction" is a broad term that encompasses a variety of concepts, ranging from the promotion of technology or technological necessity to the precise meaning that human destiny is driven by fundamental principles associated with scientific laws and the expression in the form of technology.
Most interpretations of technological determinism have two general ideas in common. One is that technology tends to develop along a path that is largely independent of cultural or political influences, and the other is that technology tends to have "impacts" on existing societies rather than conforming to social conditions.
For example, we could say that cars led to the inevitable development of roads (1).
However, the national road network would not be economically viable if only a few cars were in use, so a new production method was developed to reduce the cost of owning a car.
In addition, the sheer number of cars on the road has also led to an increase in road accidents, which in turn has led to the development of new techniques for repairing damaged car bodies.
Most of the elements of Romanticism derive from writers such as Goethe, Fichte, and Schelling.
In the context of romanticism, geography moulds the individual, and as time goes by, practices and cultures associated with that geography arise, and these, which are in accord with the place of the society, are preferable to laws arbitrarily imposed.
Constantinople was considered the fashion capital of Europe in the same way that Paris was considered the fashion capital of the world in the modern era.
The concept of a center of luxury began around 400 A.D. and lasted until around 1100 A.D.
Its status declined during the 12th century, mainly due to the Crusaders returning precious gifts, such as silks and spices, which were worth more than what the Bazaar of Byzantium offered.
It was then that the fashion capital moved from Constantinople to Paris.
Gothic architecture was most popular during the 10th to 11th centuries and the 14th century.
At first, dress was heavily influenced by the Byzantine culture in the east.
However, the slower communications made Western styles up to 25 to 30 years behind.
As the Middle Ages came to an end, the Western Europeans began to develop their own style. One of the most significant developments during that time was when the clergy began to use buttons to fasten their clothing.
Subsistence agriculture is the production of food to meet the needs of the farmer and their family.
Agriculture for subsistence is a simple system that is often organic by using locally adapted seeds, rotating crops or other simple techniques to increase yields.
Historically, most farmers have been subsistence farmers and still are in many developing countries.
A subculture is a group of people who share a common set of values, interests and behaviors, which they perceive to be neglected by mainstream society, and which allows them to develop a sense of self-awareness.
A subculture may be distinguished by age, ethnicity, class, location, and/or gender of its members.
Features that distinguish one subculture from another may be linguistic, aesthetic, religious, political, sexual, geographic, or a combination of many factors.
Members of subcultures often express their membership through distinctive styles, such as fashion, mannerisms, and jargon.
One of the most common ways to show the importance of social grooming is to use the case of unfortunate children who are abandoned, abused, or victims of deliberate abuse and do not receive grooming from adults while growing up.
Children of this type are called "problem children" or "terrible twos." Some of these children are locked away by people (often their own parents) who cannot cope with their behavior. In some cases, children are abandoned because their parents are unable to cope with their intellectual or physical disabilities.
Wild children may have experienced severe abuse in childhood or have unresolved trauma before being abandoned or running away.
Others are said to have been kept as pets, while some are said to have lived in the forest on their own.
When adequately cared for by non-human animals, a child in a wild-like state will show behavior (within physical limitations) almost identical to that of the caring animal, such as fear or indifference to humans.
Although project-based learning may make learning easier and more interesting, scaffolding teaching goes further.
Scaffolding is not a way of learning, but rather a way of supporting a person who is learning something new, such as using a new computer program or starting a new project.
Scaffolds can be either virtual or physical. For example, a teacher is a type of scaffold, but a small paper clip in Microsoft Office is also a scaffold.
Virtual Scaffolds are built into the software itself and are designed to ask questions, prompt, and explain steps that students might otherwise struggle to do on their own.
Children are placed with foster families for a variety of reasons, including abandonment, abuse, or neglect.
No child should have to grow up in an environment where they are not nurtured, cared for, and educated, but they grow up in that environment.
We understand that foster care is a safe haven for these children.
Our child welfare system should provide safe homes, loving caregivers, stable education, and reliable health care.
A foster home should be equipped with all the necessary items that are missing from the home where the child lived before being taken in.
The Internet combines elements of both mass communication and interpersonal communication.
The distinctive nature of the Internet has led to additional dimensions in terms of use and ways of creating satisfaction.
For example, "learning" and "socializing" are important motivations for using the Internet (James et al., 1995)
When they examined viewer reactions to the Eighmey and McCord (1998) site, they also found that "personal participation" and "long-term relationships" were new motivations.
The use of video recordings has led to important discoveries about the interpretation of facial expressions, which are rapid movements of the face that last only a few milliseconds.
In particular, it is claimed that people can detect whether someone is lying or not by very subtle facial expressions.
Oliver Sacks noted in his research titled, On the President's Speech, that those who could not understand the words because of brain damage could still assess the speaker's sincerity.
He reiterated that some animals, such as dogs, may have the ability to interpret human behavior in the same way.
Research in the 20th century indicated that there were two genetic changes, one that was not expressed and one that was expressed.
Mutation has increased genetic diversity, and the process of selection has weeded out those variations from the expression of that diversity.
The separation and recombination of the two generations alternated between the two models.
In grasslands, mammalian herbivores with human-like digestive systems respond to the need for amino acids from scarce plant resources.
In addition, not being able to do so could lead to serious consequences, such as stunted growth, malnutrition, and ultimately death.
The most easily accessible plant proteins are probably those that can be found in leafy vegetables and legumes such as peas, but vegetarians like us have a hard time digesting them unless they are cooked.
In contrast, animal foods (beetles, maggots, eggs) are easily digestible and provide a high-protein source of all essential amino acids.
When all is said and done, it's not surprising that our ancestors solved the "protein problem" in much the same way as the Chimpanzees in the savannah do today.
Sleep paralysis is a temporary inability to move or speak while falling asleep or waking up.
You can do this easily by using a loud alarm clock to wake you up before you're fully awake.
If you often hit the snooze button on your alarm clock while you're asleep, you can put the alarm clock far away, on the other side of the room, so that you have to get out of bed to turn it off.
Other options based on biological rhythms include drinking large amounts of liquids (especially water or well-known diuretics) before bedtime, which will make you have to get up to urinate.
An individual's level of inner peace will fluctuate with the level of tension in the body and mind of that individual.
The less stressed you are, the more positive energy you will have. Everyone has the potential to find true peace and happiness.
Everyone can be aware of this, the only thing that stands in the way of this goal is our negative view of the world.
Buddhism in Tibet is based on the teachings of the Buddha, but has incorporated many Hindu and yogic techniques from India.
In principle, Tibetan Buddhism is very simple, consisting of the Four Noble Truths, meditation, and the all-embracing path of love.
Kundalini yoga awakens the Kundalini energy (the energy of awareness) through yoga poses, breathing exercises, chanting, and meditation.
The center of Tibetan meditation is the yoga deity. The energy channels are purified, the chakras work, and there is awareness, through the creation of mental images of the deities.
Germany was an ally of the Soviet Union and the United States in World War II, which led to cooperation between the two countries when the war ended. Conflicts over systems, processes, and cultures continue to this day.
Two years after the war ended, former allies became enemies, and the Cold War began.
It will remain for the next 40 years and there will be real battles by proxy armies in various battlefields from Africa to Asia, in Afghanistan, Cuba and elsewhere.
On September 17, 1939, the Polish defenses collapsed, and the only hope was to retreat and reorganize along the Romanian bridgehead.
However, within a matter of hours, these plans were obsolete, as more than 800,000 Red Army soldiers from the Soviet Union poured into Belarus and Ukraine to create a buffer zone between the invading Soviet forces in the east and Poland in the west, in violation of the peace treaty of Riga, the non-aggression pact between the Soviet Union and Poland, and other international treaties, whether they were bilateral or multilateral.
The use of ships to transport goods is the most efficient way to move large numbers of people and goods across the oceans.
Originally, the Navy's job was to see to it that their country could maintain the ability to move people and goods, while at the same time impeding the enemy's ability to move people and goods.
One of the most recent notable examples is the Atlantic campaign of the Second World War, when Americans tried to move troops and supplies across the Atlantic to help the British.
At the same time, the German Navy, which relied heavily on submarines, tried to stop the transport.
If the allies failed, Germany might have been able to conquer England, as it had already conquered the rest of Europe.
It appears that sheep were first domesticated around 10,000 years ago in the Zagros Mountains of Iran.
Ancient cultures and tribes began to domesticate them for easy access to milk, hair, meat, and skin.
Generally, sheep are kept in flocks that graze on hillsides or in other pastures, much like the more familiar method of goat-herding, where the shepherds are usually children or teenagers, still using the traditional herding methods.
The wheelbarrow was invented in England in the early 16th century.
Although the parallel planks of the track made the horse-drawn carriages go faster and carry more weight than on the slightly rougher roads of the time.
Railroad sleepers were first used to hold the track in place, although it was later realized that the track would be more effective if it had a steel top.
This became a common practice, but the iron made the wheels of the wheelbarrow wear out more quickly.
Eventually, iron wheels replaced wooden wheels, and in 1767, all-iron wheels were used for the first time.
The first form of transport known to man was walking. Humans began walking upright 2 million years ago, at the same time as the emergence of Homo Erectus (Homo Erectus means upright man).
Austrolopithecus, their ancestor, was not an upright walking ape.
Two-legged animals have been found in fossils of Australopithecus dating back 4.2-3.9 million years ago, but Sahelanthropus may have walked on two legs as far back as seven million years ago.
We can start living in a more eco-friendly way by joining environmental movements and even becoming activists ourselves, in order to reduce the suffering that will happen in the future to some extent.
This is similar to treating symptoms in many cases. However, if we don't want just a temporary fix, we should try to find the root of the problem and get rid of it.
It is clear that the world has changed dramatically as a result of the scientific and technological advances of humankind, and problems have increased as a result of overpopulation and the extravagant lifestyle of humankind.
After being approved by Congress on July 4, the handwritten draft signed by John Hancock, president of Congress, and Charles Thomson, secretary of Congress, was sent to John Dunlap's printing press, which was only a few blocks away.
Throughout the night, about 150 to 200 copies were made, which are now known as the "Dunlap broadside."
John Nixon read the document publicly for the first time at the Independence Hall on July 8.
A copy was sent to George Washington on July 6, which he read to the troops in New York on July 9. A copy arrived in London on August 10.
The 25 surviving copies of the Declaration of Independence are the oldest surviving copies of the document. The original, written by hand, is no longer in existence.
Many paleontologists today believe that some dinosaurs survived and are still living today. We call those dinosaurs birds.
Many people didn't think they were dinosaurs because they had feathers and could fly.
But birds have a lot of things that still look like dinosaurs.
They have spines with spines and claws, they lay eggs and walk on their hind legs like theropods.
Almost every computer in use today relies on binary-coded data management.
A binary digit can have only one of two values, either 0 or 1, and these values are called binary digits, or bits, in computer jargon.
Internal poisoning may not be immediately apparent. Symptoms such as vomiting are common and not immediately diagnostic.
The best indication that poison has been ingested may be the presence of an open bottle of medication or household chemicals.
Check the label for specific first aid instructions for that poison.
Entomologists refer to this group of insects in an official capacity as hard-shelled beetles.
The word derives from the ancient familiarity with the shipworm, a mollusc that is extremely well adapted to living on the body of a human.
Both the caterpillar and the butterfly are self-sufficient when they emerge, but must adapt to living in a nest or the habitat of their caregiver.
An estimated 400,000 people in the United States have multiple sclerosis (or MS), making it one of the leading neurological diseases 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.
Studies have found that women are twice as likely to develop multiple sclerosis than men.
The couple decided that raising a baby wasn't something they or their child wanted.
These couples may choose to have children by adopting.
In adoption, the biological parent relinquishes their parental rights to allow another couple to adopt the child.
The primary goal of science is to find out how the world works through the scientific method, which is actually the working method for almost all scientific research.
But that's not all. Experiments and tests are used to eliminate at least one possible hypothesis by asking questions, and observation is also a method of scientific research.
Naturalists and philosophers were interested in the ancient Greek and Roman texts, especially the Bible in Latin.
Aristotle's views are accepted in all branches of science, including psychology.
As Greek knowledge declined, the West found itself cut off from the philosophical and scientific foundations of Greece.
Many of the rhythms in the biological and behavioral phenomena that have been observed are based on the existence of cycles within the body and the functioning of those cycles through the body's biological clocks.
The occurrence of rhythms (which is not just a response to external stimuli) has been recorded in most living things, including bacteria, fungi, plants, and animals.
Biological clocks are self-contained oscillators that continue to operate independently even when deprived of external cues.
Herchey and Chase's experiment was an important piece of evidence that DNA is a genetic molecule.
Hershey and Chess used viruses or phages to insert their DNA into bacteria.
They did two experiments, labeling DNA in the feces with radioactive phosphorus, or labeling proteins in the feces with radioactive carbon.
The effects of mutation vary depending on the type of mutation, the nature of the affected genetic component, and whether the affected cells are reproductive or not.
Only mutations in reproductive cells can be passed on to offspring, while other mutations may cause the cell to die or become cancerous.
Natural tourism attracts people who are interested in visiting natural areas to enjoy the scenery, including trees and wildlife.
Examples of activities include hunting, fishing, photography, bird watching, garden tours, and learning about the ecosystem.
For example, visiting, photographing, and learning about orangutangs in Borneo.
Every morning, people would drive out of a small rural town to go to work, in contrast to those who were going to work in the place they had just come from.
In this vibrant public transport system, everyone participates or supports private car travel in some way.
Current science indicates that the massive carbon footprint of this economic system has thrown the planet's ecosystems and atmospheres out of balance that have sustained human evolution for the past two million years.
Everyone is part of a society and uses the transport system, and almost everyone complains about the transport system.
In a developed country, you would almost never hear the same level of complaints about water quality or bridges collapsing.
Why does the transport system cause complaints like this? Why does it go wrong every day? Are the engineers of the transport system incompetent, or is there something more fundamental going on?
Traffic flow is the study of the movement of individual drivers and vehicles between two points, and the interactions between them.
Unfortunately, traffic fluidity is difficult to study, as the behavior of drivers is something that cannot be predicted with 100% certainty.
Fortunately, most drivers tend to behave more or less in the same way, so the flow of traffic tends to be more or less constant, which can be roughly quantified mathematically.
To better show the flow of traffic, three main characteristics are defined: (1) flow, (2) density, and (3) speed.
These relationships help to plan, design, and operate roadway facilities.
Insects are the first animals to fly in the air, and their ability to fly helps them avoid predators, find food and mates more efficiently.
Most insects have the advantage of being able to fold their wings along the length of their bodies.
Give them a variety of small places to hide from hunters.
Currently, the only insects that can fold their wings back are the dragonflies and damselflies.
Thousands of years ago, a man named Aristarchus said that the solar system revolved around the sun.
Some agreed with his ideas, but many disagreed, believing that the solar system, including the sun (and even other stars) revolved around the earth.
It makes sense, because the world doesn't feel like it's moving anymore.
The Amazon River is the second longest river in the world and the world's largest by volume, with more than eight times the volume of the world's second largest river.
In addition, the Amazon is the world's widest river, with some stretches as wide as six miles.
Twenty percent of the world's rivers flow into the oceans from the Amazon.
The Amazon River mainstem is 6,387 km (3,980 mi) long and is the confluence of thousands of smaller rivers.
Although the construction of stone pyramids continued until the end of the Old Kingdom, their size and technical excellence in the construction of the Great Pyramid of Giza were unparalleled.
Ancient Egyptians in the New Kingdom were stunned when they saw their ancestor's monument, which was more than a thousand years old.
Vatican City has a population of about 800, making it the smallest and most populous independent country in the world.
Vatican City uses Italian in legislation and official communications.
Most people who work in the state will use Italian as their everyday language, while Latin is often used in religious ceremonies.
All the citizens of Vatican City are Roman Catholics.
People have known the basic chemical elements like gold, silver, and copper since ancient times, because they can be found in nature in their natural forms, and they are relatively easy to mine with primitive tools.
Aristotle, a philosopher, theorized that everything was composed of at least four elements: earth, water, air, and fire.
This is like the status of the four elements (in the same order) which are solid, liquid, gas and plasma, but he theorized that they would change into new substances to form what we see.
In general, an alloy is a mixture of two or more metals. Don't forget that there are many elements in the periodic table.
Elements such as calcium and potassium are metals. Of course, there are metals such as silver and gold as well.
In addition, you may have an alloy, which is a mixture of metals, such as carbon, in small amounts.
Everything in the universe is made of atoms, and all atoms consist of tiny particles called protons, neutrons, and electrons.
Atoms are so small that trillions of them can fit into the period at the end of this sentence.
Therefore, dung is a good friend to many when it comes to marketing.
Unfortunately, as new ways of writing emerged, the importance and use of script declined.
Today, people can write on a computer screen without even touching a typewriter.
We wondered what the keyboard would be like when something new came along.
Fusion bombs work on the principle that a large number of protons and neutrons must be combined to produce energy.
It's sort of like climbing a mountain with a teaspoon. A second fission would release some of that energy.
Some atoms have unstable nuclei, which means they are more likely to split apart from a slight vibration. Or they may not move at all.
The moon's surface is made of rock and dust. The outer layer of the moon is called the crust.
The near-side crust is about 70 km thick, while the far-side crust is about 100 km thick.
The moon's crust is thinner in the lunar seas (Maria) but thicker in the lunar highlands.
The near side could have more magma because the crust is thinner, making it easier for lava to reach the surface.
The theoretical content focuses on the search for what makes people choose or be interested in something.
These theories show that people have certain needs and/or desires that arise during adulthood.
These theories consider what makes some people want to do what they have done, and what in their environment makes them do or not do something.
Two famous content theories are Maslow's hierarchy of needs and Herzberg's two-factor theory.
Generally speaking, there can be two behaviours when a manager brings in a former colleague, one is to try to be "one of them" (or her).
Managers of this type have difficulty making unpopular decisions, enforcing discipline, evaluating performance, assigning responsibility, and holding individuals accountable.
In contrast, one person changed into an unrecognizable person who felt he or she had to change everything the team had done and make it his or her own.
Leaders must take responsibility for success and failure of the team.
This kind of behaviour can often lead to friction between the leader and the rest of the team.
The virtual team has the same standards of excellence as a traditional team, but the differences are subtle.
Virtual team members often act as a central point of contact for a physically close-knit group.
They tend to have more self-directed members than traditional teams because their teams may be located in different time zones, and the local managers may not understand them.
Having a "real team" (Larsen and Lafasto, 1989, p. 109) is also a component of the simulated team.
A "floating team" is a management team in which all members must report in. A floating team will set standards for each member.
Why would an organization want to go through the lengthy process of establishing an organization of learning when one of the goals of bringing the idea of organizational learning to practice is innovation?
When all available resources are used effectively in all departments of the organization, creativity and ingenuity can flourish.
Therefore, the process of an organization working together to overcome obstacles can lead to a new process of innovative initiatives to meet customer needs.
Before an organization can have a culture of innovation, leadership must create a culture of creative initiative along with sharing knowledge and learning within the organization.
Angel (2006) explains the Continuum approach as a way to help organizations become more effective.
Neurophysiological data provide the physiological basis for theory-based research into perceptual processes, thus reducing the scope of research and making it more precise.
The relationship between brain pathology and behavior will help support scientists in their research.
It has long been known that different types of brain damage, including injury, disease, and tumors, affect behavior and cause changes in some mental states.
Having new technologies allows us to see and investigate the structure and function of the brain in areas that have never been seen before.
This gives us a lot of data and content to work with in order to build a model of the situation which helps us to understand the processes in the mind.
Although AI has obvious implications for science fiction novels, AI is a major branch of computer science that deals with the behavior, learning, and adaptive intelligence of machines.
Research into AI involves making machines more intelligent.
For example, control, planning, and time management abilities, the ability to respond to customer comments and questions, as well as the ability to remember handwriting, voices, and faces.
These have become separate disciplines with a focus on providing practical solutions to real-world problems.
Currently, AI is often used in economics, medicine, engineering, and military applications, as well as in software applications for home computers and video games.
Field trips are an important part of every class, and teachers often take their students to places that cannot be reached by public transport.
Technology offers a solution to the problem with virtual field trips. Students can view inventions in museums, visit aquariums, or admire beautiful works of art while sitting with others in a classroom.
Virtual field trips are a great way to reflect on a trip and share experiences with future classes.
For example, students from Bennett High School in North Carolina designed a travel website for the state's capital. The website is redesigned every year, but the old version is still available online as a scrapbook.
Blogs can also help improve students' writing, although students often start their blogging experience with poor grammar and spelling, but generally having an audience can help change those errors.
Since students are often the most important readers, bloggers begin to improve their writing in order to avoid being criticized.
Blogging also "pushes students to understand the world around them" (Toto, 2004). The desire to satisfy readers' interests inspires students to be smart and interesting (Toto, 2004).
Blogging is a tool that supports collaboration and encourages students to learn beyond the classroom.
Effective use of blogs can help students become more analytical and critical, and can help students position themselves in the context of other people's writing through enthusiastic engagement with content on the Internet, as well as summarizing their own perspectives on the issues at hand (Oravec, 2002)
Ottawa is the bilingual capital of Canada and is home to numerous art galleries and museums that showcase Canada's past and present.
Further south is the spectacular Niagara Falls, while to the north lies the natural beauty of the unspoiled Mascoag and others.
These and other things made Ontario stand out so much that it became the heart of Canada in the eyes of outsiders.
A large area to the north is sparsely populated and some areas are completely uninhabited.
The most surprising comparison is that there are more American-born African-Americans living in the United States than Canadians living in Canada.
The East African Islands are located in the Indian Ocean, off the east coast of Africa.
Madagascar is the largest island and is so much larger than the other islands that it can be considered a continent in itself in terms of its flora and fauna.
Most of the small islands are sovereign nations, or have some association with France, and are known for their luxury resorts.
Arabs also spread Islam to other lands and became very popular in Comoros and Mayotte.
European influence and colonialism began in the 15th century when Vasco da Gama, a Portuguese explorer, discovered a sea route from Europe to India.
It is bordered on the north by Sahele, on the south and west by the Atlantic Ocean.
Women: Recommend to all female travelers that they say they are married, regardless of their actual marital status.
If worn, it would be beneficial (but not too expensive of a ring).
Women should be aware that cultural differences can make them think they've been sexually harassed, and it's not uncommon to be followed, grabbed, etc.
Be firm in rejecting men and don't be afraid to stand up for yourself (whether culturally different or not, it doesn't make it acceptable!)
The modern city of Casablanca was founded by Berber (Berber) fishermen in the 10th century and used by the Phoenicians, Romans, and Merinids as a strategic port called Anfa.
The Portuguese destroyed it and rebuilt it, naming it Casa Branca, only to abandon it after the 1755 earthquake.
The Moroccan Sultan rebuilt the city under the name of Daru l-Badya and the Spanish traders who established a trading post there named it Casablanca.
Casablanca is one of the least interesting places to shop in Morocco.
Around the old Medina, you can easily find traditional Moroccan souvenirs, such as tajines, pottery, leather goods, hukkas, and a myriad of other trinkets, but all for tourists only.
Goma is a city in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, near the border with Rwanda.
In 2003, the city of Goma was destroyed by lava from the Mount Nyiragongo volcano, burying most of the city's roads, especially in the city center.
Although Goma is relatively safe, if you plan to travel outside the city of Goma, it is best to research the situation beforehand to understand the ongoing conflict in North Kivu.
The city is also the base for climbing Nyiragongo, one of the most active volcanoes in Africa.
You can travel around Goma by bodaboda (motorcycle taxis) at the normal (local) price of around 500 Congolese francs for short journeys.
Combined with its remoteness, "Timbuktu" became a metaphor for a distant and exotic land.
Today, Timbuktu is a poor city despite its fame, making it a tourist attraction and having an airport.
In 1990, the site was added to the World Heritage List as being in danger due to the threat of sand in the desert.
This is one of the stops on Henry Louis Gates's PBS special, Africa's Great Migrations.
It differs from other cities in the country in that it has an Arab rather than an African atmosphere.
Kruger National Park (KNP) is located in northeastern South Africa, bordering Mozambique to the east, Zimbabwe to the north, and the Crocodile River to the south.
The park covers an area of 19,500 square kilometers (7,500 sq mi) and is divided into 14 ecological zones, each of which supports a different fauna.
It is one of the main tourist attractions in South Africa and is the flagship of the South African National Parks (SANParks).
There is a conservation fee and an entrance fee per day as in other national parks in South Africa.
In addition, if anyone buys a Wild Card, they can visit all of South Africa's national parks, which means they can choose to visit just some or all of them (1).
Hong Kong has made the territory of Hong Kong famous, and it is also a place that many tourists think should be emphasized.
The skyscrapers that make up Hong Kong's skyline are lined up like a string of lights on a Christmas tree, with Victoria Harbour in the foreground.
For the best view of Hong Kong, leave the island and go to the opposite Kowloon riverbank.
Most of Hong Kong's urban development has been concentrated on reclaimed land along the northern shoreline, which has been reclaimed.
This is the place where the English colonists claimed as their own, so if you're looking for evidence of the colony's past, this is a good place to start.
Sundarbans is the world's largest coastal mangrove forest, stretching 80 km (50 mi) along the Bay of Bengal to the poverty-stricken regions of Bangladesh and India.
The UNESCO declared Sundarbans a world heritage site, part of a mangrove forest in India known as the Sundarbans National Park.
The forest is not only the mangrove forest, but also the remnants of a large forest that once covered the Kwanza River floodplain.
Sundarbans covers an area of 3,850 square kilometres (1,500 sq mi), roughly one third of which is covered by water/marshes.
The Sundarbans has been a wildlife sanctuary since 1966, with an estimated 400 Bengal tigers and 30,000 spotted deer.
Buses leave the inter-district station (across the river) throughout the day, with most heading east and Jakar/Bumthang departing between 06.30 and 07.30.
It is recommended to buy tickets in advance for a couple of days as buses between districts are often full.
Most of the area is served by small Japanese-style buses which are comfortable and reliable.
The same taxi goes to nearby destinations that are convenient and quick, such as Paro (150 nu) and Punakha (200 nu).
The Oyapock River Bridge is a cable-stayed bridge that spans the Oyapock River to connect the cities of Oiapoque in Brazil and Saint-Georges de l'Oyapock in French Guiana.
The two towers soar up to 83 metres, are 378 metres long and have two lanes, each 3.50 metres wide.
The bridge is 15 metres above ground and was completed in August 2011, but did not open until March 2017.
The bridge is scheduled to be fully operational in September 2017, when the Brazilian customs post is expected to be completed.
The Guaraní are the most important indigenous group living in the area that is now eastern Paraguay, subsisting as semi-nomadic hunter-gatherers and farmers.
The region was once home to other indigenous peoples, such as the Guaycurú and Payaguá, who survived by hunting and fishing in groups.
In the 16th century, Paraguay, which was once known as "the great island of the Indies," was born out of a confrontation between Spanish conquerors and indigenous peoples.
Spaniards were responsible for a long period of colonialism that lasted for three centuries.
Since its founding in 1537, Paraguay has retained many of its indigenous characteristics and traits.
Argentina is known for having the best polo teams and players in the world.
The biggest tournament of the year will be held in December at the Pala Casino in Las Vegas.
Smaller tournaments and matches can be watched here at other times of the year.
For information on upcoming polo matches and where to purchase tickets, please visit the Asociacion Argentina de Polo (Argentine Polo Association).
The official currency of the Faroe Islands is the Faroese króna (FKP), which is equal to one pound sterling (GBP).
It can only be exchanged at one bank on the islands, which is located in Stanley, opposite the FIC West.
Generally, pounds sterling can be used throughout the islands, including in the use of a Stanley credit card, and U.S. dollars are also usually accepted.
It is possible that the outer islands may not accept credit cards, even though they accept British and American currency. Check with the owner in advance to determine what payment methods are acceptable.
It is almost impossible to exchange currency outside the islands, so exchange money before leaving the islands.
Since Monterey lies south of the equator, when the Northern Hemisphere is in winter, there it is summer, and when the Northern Hemisphere is in summer, there it is winter.
Montevideo is in the semi-tropical zone, and in the summer months, temperatures above 30°C are common.
Winters can be unpredictably cold, with temperatures rarely falling below freezing, but feeling colder than the thermometer says because of the wind and humidity.
There are no "wet" and "dry" seasons, and rainfall is fairly evenly distributed throughout the year.
While many animals in the park are accustomed to seeing humans, they are still wild animals and should not be fed or disturbed.
Park officials said to stay at least 100 yards or meters away from bears and wolves, and at least 25 yards or meters away from all other wildlife.
No matter how cuddly they look, bison, musk oxen, bears, and most large animals can attack.
Each year, dozens of visitors are injured because they do not maintain an appropriate distance from the animals, which are large, aggressive, and potentially dangerous.
Please note that smells will attract bears and other wildlife, so avoid carrying or preparing food with strong odors, and always keep your campsite clean.
Apia is the capital of Samoa, located on the island of Upolu, and has a population of almost 40,000.
Apia was founded in the 1850s and has been the official capital of Samoa since 1959.
This port was the scene of a naval scandal in 1889 when seven ships from Germany, the United States and Britain refused to leave the port.
Every ship was sunk, except the British patrol boat, which lost nearly 200 Americans and Germans.
During the struggle for independence, a peaceful demonstration in the city led to the assassination of Tupua Tamasese Lealofi III, the chief.
There are many beaches as there are two harbours, one on each side of the island. The most popular beach is in three areas.
North Shore (in North Harbour) is on the Pacific Ocean and stretches from Long Bay in the north to Devonport in the south.
These beaches are mostly sandy and safe for swimming, and many are shaded by pohutukawa trees.
Tamaki Drive is located at the Waitemata Harbour in the affluent suburbs of Mission Bay and St Heliers in central Auckland.
These beaches are family-friendly, and there are plenty of shops along the waterfront. Swimming is safe.
The leading local brand is 'Number One' (1), which is not a complex beer, but has a pleasant flavour and a refreshing feel. Another local brand is called "Manta" (1).
There are many French wines that are unmissable, but New Zealand and Australian wines may be better suited to travel.
Local tap water is safe to drink, but if you're worried you can easily buy bottled water.
For Australians, 'Flat White' is an oddity, while 'Short Black' is a cappuccino without cream (not foam). Coffee is served without milk.
Hot chocolate is considered Belgian standard, fruit juice is expensive but tasty.
Throughout the year, there have been many trips to the reef, and there have not been many injuries as a result of these incidents at the reef.
However, heed the warnings, follow every sign, and give the utmost attention to safety warnings.
Box jellyfish appear near beaches and near river mouths from October to April in the northern part of the city, occasionally outside those times.
There are sharks, but they rarely attack humans. Most sharks are afraid of humans and will swim away.
The saltwater crocodile does not live primarily in the ocean, its main habitat is in the northern reaches of the Rockhampton River.
Advance booking gives travellers the reassurance that they will have somewhere to stay when they arrive at their destination.
Tour operators often have agreements with hotels, but you can also book other types of accommodation, such as camping sites, through a tour operator.
Typically, travel agencies offer packages which include breakfast and transportation to/from the airport, or even flight and hotel packages.
They can also hold the reservation for you if you need time to consider the offer or to obtain other documents for your travel (for example, a visa).
If you need to make a change or request something, it should be done through your travel agent, not directly to the hotel.
Some music festivals allow participants to camp in the area, as many see it as an important part of the experience.
If you want an intimate experience, you'll have to get there early to find a campsite close to the music.
Keep in mind that the main stage music may have ended, but some festivals will play music until the wee hours of the morning.
Some festivals have special camping areas for families with young children.
Check the location of the passenger lounge in the event of travelling across the North Atlantic in winter, as the passage through icebergs can be quite noisy for those most likely to be affected.
The St. Peterburg cruise also includes time in the city, and passengers are exempt from visa requirements (please check conditions).
Casinos generally try to keep their guests using as much money and time as possible, often with no windows or clocks and difficult to find exits.
They often have food, drink and entertainment to offer in order to keep guests happy and to keep them on the premises.
Some places offer alcoholic drinks, but drunkenness affects decision-making, and good gamblers are well aware of the importance of being able to keep a cool head.
Those who must drive in high areas or cross mountains should prepare for snow, ice, or freezing temperatures.
On an icy, snow-covered road, friction is lower, making it harder to drive than on a bare asphalt road.
During a blizzard, snow can accumulate enough to make it impossible for you to go anywhere in a short amount of time.
Visibility may be limited by falling snow, blowing snow, or heavy rain or frost on windshields.
In contrast, cold and snowy weather is common in many countries, and most roads are kept clear throughout the year.
Safari is one of the biggest tourist attractions and a highlight for many visitors.
The term "safari" generally refers to overland travel to view African wildlife, especially on the savannah.
Some animals, such as elephants and giraffes, are more likely to approach vehicles, and standard equipment will provide excellent visibility.
Sometimes lions, cheetahs and leopards are shy, and you'll see them better with a spotting scope.
A safari (also called "walking safari", "walking safari" or "walking safari") consists of walking for two to three hours or several days.
The Paralympics will be held in 2021 from August 24 to September 5. Some events will be held at other venues around Japan.
Tokyo will be the only city in Asia to have hosted the Summer Olympic Games twice, having hosted in 1964.
If you booked flights and accommodation for 2020 before the delay was announced, you may find yourself in a difficult situation.
The cancellation policies vary, but by the end of March, most of the coronavirus-related cancellation policies will not be extended past July 2020, when the Olympics are scheduled.
Most tickets are expected to cost between 2,500 and 130,000 yen, with general tickets costing around 7,000 yen.
Wet clothing can be dried by ironing. Many hotels offer to lend irons and ironing boards, even if they are not in the room.
If you don't have an iron, or if you don't plan on putting on the wrinkle-free socks, you could try using a hair dryer.
Be careful not to overheat the fabric (which may cause shrinkage or scorching in the case of severe overheating).
There are many ways to purify water, and some are more effective at removing specific threats.
In some areas, a one-minute boil is sufficient; in others, several minutes are needed.
Filters have a performance difference that you should be aware of, and you should consider buying bottled water from a reputable company.
Tourists may encounter wildlife they are unfamiliar with in their home region.
Pests can cause food loss, annoyance, or in the worst case, cause allergic reactions, spread disease, or contaminate food.
Animals that are infectious or dangerous enough to harm or kill people are not usually considered pests.
Tax-free shopping is an opportunity to buy goods that are exempt from taxes and duties in certain areas.
Tourists traveling to high-tax countries can sometimes reduce expenses considerably, especially when purchasing alcoholic beverages and tobacco.
The stretch of road between Point Marion and Fairmont has some of the most challenging driving conditions on the Buffalo-Pittsburgh Highway, which often passes through rugged wilderness.
If you are unfamiliar with driving on country roads, prepare for difficult situations such as steep grades, narrow lanes, and hairpin turns.
The limit specified is lower than in the previous and subsequent sections, which are usually 35-40 mph (56-64 km/h), and strict compliance is more important than anything else.
However, the cell phone service here is stronger than in many other places along the same route, such as Pennsylvania Wilds.
German pastries are quite tasty, and in Bavaria there are quite a lot and varied, much like the pastries of the neighboring countries to the south, namely Austria.
Fruit cakes are ubiquitous, using apples throughout the year, cherries and plums in the summer.
Many German cookies contain almonds, hazelnuts, and other nuts, and popular cakes often go well with a strong cup of coffee.
If you're looking for a small but flavorful treat, try Berliner, Pfannkuchen, or Krapfen, depending on the region.
Curry is a type of dish made from a variety of spices and herbs cooked with meat or vegetables.
Curries can be either "dry" or "wet" depending on the amount of liquid.
Northern coastal regions of India and Pakistan often use yogurt in curries, but are more likely to use coconut milk in southern India and other coastal regions.
Indonesia has over 17,000 islands, so the term Indonesian cuisine is a broad term that encompasses regional cuisines throughout the country.

Chawan cuisine, which is now widely available throughout the archipelago, consists of simple dishes flavoured with the distinctive spices of the Chawan people, such as lentils, pepper, sugar (especially coconut sugar) and a variety of aromatic herbs.
The gullet is designed to support the rider's foot that hangs off the sides of the ankle straps on both sides.
This makes the driver more secure, but there may be safety concerns as the driver's foot could be trapped inside.
If a rider is thrown from the horse but their foot is still caught in the stirrup, they may be dragged along by the horse if it runs away. There are several safety measures that can be taken to reduce this risk.
First, most drivers wear boots with pointed toes and narrow, flat soles.
Subsequently, in some models, particularly English saddles, a safety strap was added to help the leather girth slip out of the saddle if the rider was being dragged off the horse's back.
Cochamó Valley is one of Chile's premier rock climbing destinations, often referred to as Chile's Yosemite, with large granite walls and cliffs.

Skiing, including alpine skiing and snowboarding, is a popular winter sport involving descending a snow-covered hill or mountain on skis or a snowboard.
Skiing is an important form of recreational travel, and is sometimes referred to as "skiing" or "skiing", which is a planned vacation for skiing at a specific location.
The concept of skiing dates back to prehistoric times, with cave paintings depicting skiers dating back 5,000 years.
Skiing as a sport dates back at least to the 17th century, and the first recreational ski club was established in Norway in 1861.
Backcountry skiing is also known as backcountry skiing, ski touring, or ski mountaineering.
This type of skiing can be considered the same as alpine skiing or mountaineering, but is usually not associated with either. Alpine skiing is played on steep terrain and requires skis and boots that are much stiffer than those used for cross-country skiing.
Think of a ski trail as a hiking trail.
In good conditions you can go further than walking, but you rarely have the opportunity to do the speed of cross-country skiing without a heavy wax in a groomed track.
Europe is a relatively small continent with many independent countries. In normal circumstances, travelling through several countries means having to apply for several visas and having your passport checked several times.
Nonetheless, the Schengen area functions somewhat like a single country in this respect.
As long as you are in this area, you will usually be able to cross the border without having to pass through an immigration checkpoint.
Similarly, if you have a Schengen visa, you do not need to apply for a separate visa for each country that is a member of the Schengen group, thus saving both time, money and paperwork.
There is no internationally accepted definition of what constitutes an antique. Some tax authorities define an antique as an item that is at least 100 years old.
Age limits vary by geography, with lower limits in places such as North America than in Europe.
Handmade products may be classified as antiques even if they are younger than similar mass-produced items.
Rentierism was an important way of life for the Sami and the cultures around them. Trade was also important for other professions as well.
However, the Sami did not raise large numbers of reindeer, even in their original form, but lived by hunting, fishing, and similar activities, using reindeer as a beast of burden most of the time.
Today, many Sámi work in modern commerce, and tourism is an important source of income in the Sámi regions of Sápmi.
Though widely used, especially among non-Romani people, the word "Gypsy" is often considered inappropriate due to its association with negative stereotypes and misconceptions about Romani people.

For example, an American citizen in the Middle East may face a different situation than a European or Arab citizen.
Those recommendations are only a brief summary of the political situation in a single country (1).
The perspectives presented are often general and oversimplified when compared to the detailed information available from other sources.
Extreme weather is a generic term that is commonly used to describe a dangerous weather pattern that has the potential to cause damage, severe social disruption, or loss of life.
Extreme weather can happen anywhere in the world, and there are many different types of extreme weather, depending on the geography, topography, and climate.
Strong winds, hail, excessive rainfall, and wildfires are all forms and effects of extreme weather, just like thunderstorms, tornadoes, hurricanes, and cyclones.

Visitors are strongly advised to be aware of the severe weather conditions in the area, which may affect travel plans.
Anyone planning to visit a country in a war zone should be trained by a professional first.
An internet search for "anti-environmental curriculum" could reveal the location of the company in the area.
The course covers all the topics mentioned and goes into more detail by referring to real-life experiences.
A typical course lasts 2-5 days and involves role-playing, first aid, and possibly weapons training.
Books and magazines about survival in the wilderness are commonplace, but publications related to war zones are rare.
Travellers planning to undergo gender reassignment surgery abroad should check that they have valid documentation for their return journey.
Governments vary in their willingness to issue unspecified sex passports (X) or amended documents to match the name and gender desired.
The willingness of foreign governments to honor these documents is equally varied.
After September 11, 2001, airport security searches became more invasive of people's privacy.
Transgender individuals before surgery should not expect to have to pass through a scanner without their privacy and dignity being compromised.
A backwash is a backflow of water from a breaking wave that often occurs near coral reefs or similar areas.
Underwater turbines generate a backflow that is more intense at a deeper level, and fast-flowing water can create a vortex at that depth.
Most of the deaths were caused by drowning while trying to swim against the current, which is often unsuccessful.
As soon as you get out of the current, swimming back isn't any harder than usual.
Aim for where you won't get stuck. Otherwise, you may have to wait for rescue, depending on your skills and whether anyone sees you.
Culture shock when returning to one's home country will occur more quickly than culture shock (a short-lived phase), will last longer, and may be more severe.
Visitors who adapt easily to new cultures sometimes face difficulties, especially in re-adapting to their home cultures.
When you return home after living abroad, you adapt to a new culture and forget some of the customs of your home culture.
When you first go abroad, people tend to be patient and understanding, because they know that those who travel to a new country need to adjust.
People may not realize that patience and understanding are just as important for a traveler returning home.
The light and sound show at the pyramids is one of the most interesting things to do in the area for children.
You can see the pyramids in the dark, and you can see them in the quiet before the show starts.

Others include Livingston Island and Deception Island, where a still-active volcanic crater offers a spectacular natural harbor.
Elsworthland is the southern part of the peninsula, surrounded by the Bellingshausen Sea.
The mountains here combine with the plateau, then rise again to form the 360-mile-long Elsworth Range, which is split by the Minnetonka Glacier.
The northern part or the Sentinel Range has the highest mountains in Antarctica, which is the Vinson Massif with a peak of 4,892 metres.
In a remote location where there is no cell phone coverage, a satellite phone may be your only option.
In general, a satellite phone is not a substitute for a cell phone, as it must be outdoors and have an unobstructed line of sight to the satellite to make a call.
The service is often used for transportation, including cruise ships and exploration that require both data and voice from a distance.
Your local telephone service provider should be able to provide information on how to connect to this service.
The more popular option for those planning a one-year break is to travel and learn.
This is a popular choice for those who have just graduated from high school, allowing them to take a year off before going to university without affecting their studies.
In many cases, registering for an overseas gap year course can increase your chances of gaining a university place in your home country.
There is usually a registration fee for these programs.
Finland is a great kayaking destination, "the land of a thousand lakes" has thousands of islands as well, both in the lakes and along the coast.
You don't need a yacht in the islands and lakes.
Though the largest coastal and lake islands are large enough for yachts to sail through, smaller boats or even kayaks allow you to experience something different.
Boating is a national hobby in Finland, with every seven or eight Finns owning a boat.
Which is about the same as Norway, Sweden and New Zealand, but is quite distinctive (for example, in the Netherlands, the ratio is 1 to 40).
The majority of cruise ships dock for extended stays in the city of St. Petersburg, Russia.
That means you can visit the historic city in a full day or two to three days by returning to the ship in the middle of the night.
If you arrive by cruise ship only, you do not need a separate visa (as of 2009).
Some cruise ships have a picture of Berlin, Germany, in their brochures, as you can see from the map above. Berlin is not close to the sea and a visit to the city is not included in the cruise fare.
Flying can be a scary experience for people of all ages and backgrounds, especially if you've never flown before or have experienced a traumatic event.

For some people, understanding how an aircraft works and what will happen during a flight, can help overcome the fear which is based on ignorance or lack of control.
Delivery companies are rewarded for delivering things quickly. Often, time is of the essence with business documents, products, or spare parts for emergency repairs.
In some cases, larger companies will have their own planes, but it's a problem for other routes and smaller companies.
If shipped by air, delivery and customs clearance may take several days on some routes.
The only way to make it go faster is to send it as cargo underneath the plane. Airline regulations won't allow you to send cargo without a passenger, so that's why you have to be there.
The most common way to travel in first class or business class is to pay a lot of money for the privilege (or if your company pays for it, even better).
However, these services don't come cheap. Based on a rough calculation, you can expect to pay up to four times the regular economy fare for business class and up to ten times the fare for first class!
In general, there is no point in trying to find discounts for business or first class seats on direct flights from A to B.
Airlines know that there are a number of groups of travellers who are willing to pay a premium for the privilege of travelling quickly and comfortably to where they want to go. They charge accordingly for the services they provide.
The capital of the Republic of Moldova is Chişinău. The local language is Romanian, but Russian is widely spoken.

Parisian rudeness will quickly melt away when you display basic manners in front of them.
Plitvice Lakes National Park is a dense forest of beech, fir and spruce trees, with a mix of alpine and Mediterranean flora.
There is a great diversity of vegetation here due to the wide range of microclimates, which results in different soil types and different altitudes.

Observatories of the pre-modern era are now obsolete, but are still standing as museums or educational sites.
Because light pollution in the problematic era was not the same problem as it is today, these problems often occur in cities, or schools, which are easier to access than those created in today's era.
Most modern astronomical research telescopes are large, ground-based instruments located in remote areas with suitable atmospheric conditions.
