I had to postponemy trip to Germany due to personal issues to a later date. I cancelled my ticket fourhours before the departure. Fortunately, I had travelinsurance. So I got the ticket price refunded. If you have travelinsurance and you miss your flight, then you can file a claim under tripcancellation or curtailment. Most of the insurance companies refund you the differencein airfare or a percentage of airfare depending on your situationif the cancellation is due to an accident, or unavoidable circumstances like afamily member falling ill, or travel difficulties due to unforeseen naturalcalamities (bad weather is not usually covered). It varies from policy topolicy, and mostly you would be reimbursed if unforeseen circumstances occurred30 minutes before the flight departure. If you have no travel insurance, then you have learnt anexpensive lesson at the cost of a new flight ticket. My note- At one time flight tickets were issuedwhich could be used with in specified months. Still someaiways issue tickets so, as far as my information goes.

A8 Claire Jordan, Degree in biology andfolklore; programmer, shop owner, secretary on newspaper Jan 10 Most primates have thumbs which are opposable to someextent - just not as much as ours. A long, fully opposable thumb like ours gives greatergrip and dexterity for making and handling tools. But if youare running along on all fours, or swinging under branches by your hands, longthumbs can be a liability as they stick out and are likely to get broken, so we only developed very longthumbs once we became fully bipedal. Q9 How did women survive child birthbefore healthcare was so advanced? A9 K Vopalecky, Tue As agenealogist, I've found maternal death was far more common in the past.And husbands tended to remarry quickly, either because they neededa wife to care for their children or wanted children. For most of human history, all the medical interventionswe take for granted today were not available. Becausenobody knew about germs and bacteria, attending midwives did not consider itimportant to wash their hands. For this very reason, countless women successfully delivered theirbabies, but died days late of puerperal fever, which is also called childbedfever. Thankfully, puerperal fever is rare these days,but women still die in or after childbirth, even in the US, which has the highestrate of maternal death among all developed nations.
