The United Nations 6 【run】the COVAX plan, which was organized to make certain7 【poor】countries get the vaccine.Moeti told reporters that the announcement was "in part because of
he prioritization of bilateral 8 【deal】over
international solidarity."Moeti noted that certain COVAX difficulties, such as export controls on vaccine doses and the introduction of booster shots by some countries, are the reasons for the 25 percent reduction. A booster shot is an extra amount of a vaccine 9 【give】to provide added protection against a disease.Moeti noted that COVAX has delivered over 5 million vaccine doses to African countries in September.
But, she added, "three times as many doses have been 10 【throw】away in the United States alone" since March."Every dose is precious," Moeti said.

One way is to drain the water away to some 1 【lowe】location. The 2 【simple】way is with a ditch, or, if your garden is large, a few ditches. You will also, of course, need the ditch to drain onto lower ground.The more clay in the soil, the more ditches are 3 【need】to
drain off the water.A drainage ditch 4 【do】not have to be large, just 8 to 10 centimeters. The deeper the ditch, the greater the depth of
well-aerated soil that results, so dig at least 15 centimeters deep. A gradual decline along the length of any ditch, about 15 centimeters per 30.5 meters, 5 【keep】water flowing downhill.Ditches crossing your garden need not be unpleasant to look at or troublesome. Picture a garden in which flat stones line 6 【ditch 】and form bridges across ditches that cross paths. The whole system can be a beautiful water "feature."These waterways 7 【may】look like a classic Persian garden. The Persian garden, however, 8 【use】the long, narrow waterways to bring water to the plants, not take it e
pipes.Another way to drain away water -- without 9 【change】the appearance of your garden – is to bury pipes with small holes underground.Dig a ditch, as described above, then lay in black pipe that is about 10 centimeters across its width. Available at home and 10 【build】stores, the pipe is made to bend easily, and the holes in it let in water.

Here is the question:
Question:
What is the 1 between a mule and a horse? Kindly help with the above.
Regards, Vincent.
Answer:
Hi, Vincent! That is a great question. I did not know the answer 2 I did some research on the internet. I learned that these two animals are, in fact, family: A mule is the offspring of a female horse and a
male d onkey.Physically, mules are smaller than most horses but larger than d onkey s. They have bodies shaped 3 horses but have the long ears of d onkey s.Both horses and mules have been historically used for carrying or pulling heavy loads. But horses are often used for riding, racing and other sports.Mules are known 4 animals because of their ability to carry a lot of weight over long distances. Horses and mules are both very strong animals. But mules are 5for their size and have better physical endurance. They can also survive extreme weather, are thought to be more patient than horses and usually live longer.
