Levi Strauss could not think that he would make a new fashion when he

started his business career

In 1853 he arrived in California from New York He intended to sell strong canvas (pieces of cloth) to miners to make tents However, Levi Strauss found that the miners needed hard wearing pants So he took his canvas to a local tailor and asked him to make several pairs of pants Miners used to put gold ore into their pockets, so Levi decided to make each pocket stronger with cooper rivets They were a great success because the miners loved them When Levi ran out of canvas, his brothers sent him a new fabric called denim Denim was a soft, durable fabric, which was more comfortable and easier to wear than canvas

Jeans were important to the people of the nineteenth century, especially

farmers, cowhands, railroad workers, and miners This was because they

were so strong and didn’t wear out easily So people who didn’t make a ˆ |ot of money didn’t have to continually buy new pants

But only until mid 20th century did the teenagers turn jeans into fashionable wear Jeans were considered sexy, dangerous and worn by romantic cowboys and Hollywood heroes like Marion Brando, James Dean and Elvis Presley

Spiders are unique among animals in that many spin webs out of silk The webs catch insects and the spiders eat them later Larger spiders such as tarantulas attack insects rather than spin webs Most spiders eat insects, but tarantulas and larger spiders will eat small lizards and mammals as well

Many people fear spiders Most spiders, however, are totally harmless to humans and are actually beneficial because they eat insects Even the largest tarantula, the Goliath Bird-eating Tarantula is harmless to humans A tarantula bite is said to be about as painful as a bee sting Some spiders, however, such as the Black Widow Spider, are dangerous to humans Bites from these spiders usually require immediate medical attention

Tyrannosaurus Rex, also known as T-Rex, lived in what is now Western North America At the time the T-Rex lived, the continent was known as Larimidia The T-Rex lived between 85-66 million years ago The T-Rex is thought to be one of the last non-flying dinosaurs in the world

The T-Rex was one of the largest land animals ever found on earth It was nearly 40 feet long, 13 feet tall The T-Rex could weigh from four to seven tons Scientists know that the T-Rex had a massive skull and a long, heavy tail to support its mass The arms, although proportionally very small, were powerful with two clawed digits (like fingers) The hindlegs of this dinosaur were long and powerful Studies have suggested that the T- Rex possessed the most powerful bite of any land animal to have lived on Earth According to a study by Karl Bates and Peter F alinkgham (2012), the bite of a T-Rex was three and a half times more powerful than that of a Great White Shark and 15 times more powerful than the bite of an African Lion

Scientists also believe that the body of the T-Rex was partially covered in feathers for at least part of its existence on Earth Scientists are also not in agreement concerning whether or not the T-Rex was cold-blooded dike a typical reptile) There is considerable evidence that the T-Rex had some mechanism for maintaining a more constant body temperature

Rex live? Where did the T- Rex live? How large was the T-Rex?

People joke that no one in Los Angeles reads; everyone watches TV, rents

videos, or goes to the movies The most popular reading materials are comic books, movie magazines, and TV guides Very few people go to city libraries But how do you explain this? An annual book festival in west Los Angeles is "sold out" year after year People wait half an hour for a parking space to become available

This outdoor festival is sponsored by a newspaper It occurs every April for one weekend The festival featured 280 exhibitors There were about 90 talks given by authors Autograph seekers sought out more than 150 authors A food court sold all kinds of popular and ethnic foods, from American hamburgers to Hawaiian shave ice drinks Except for a $7 parking fee, the festival was free Even so, some people avoided the food court prices by bringing their own sandwiches and drinks

People came from all over California One couple drove down from San Francisco "This is our sixth year here now We love it," said the husband "It's just fantastic to be in the great outdoors, to be among so many books and authors, and to get some very good deals, too."

Crime in the city of Clio hit a 30-year low last year Clio has a population of 28,000, but it has at least 30 gangs The gangs make most of their money from dealing drugs and offering "protection." They also commit violent

crimes, such as murder, battery, and rape

There were 1,486 thefts last year Most of the thefts involved cars Thieves

also robbed the people at gunpoint or pickpocketed them Two years ago, they broke into houses and businesses twice a day, but once a day last year The police force has helped reduce crime For years and years, kids were locking up their bikes at bike stands in front of schools, libraries, and malls

About 10 percent of the time, the kids would come out of the school or

wherever and discover that their bike was stolen The police have been trying to find a solution to this problem Finally, at the beginning of last year, they simply removed most of the bike stands Then the bicycle theft rate came down quickly

Most cities in the state have similar problems They all involve too many people, too much crime, too few police, and too little funding These problems can be found everywhere They might decrease, but they will probably never disappear All people can do is to hope for the best and to prepare for the worst

School girls all have the same access to computers as boys But researchers say

that by the time they get to high school, they are victims of what is called a major

new gender gap in technology

According to the American Association of University Women researchers, girls

tend to be less comfortable than boys with computer They use it more for word

processing rather than for problem solving, rather than to discover new ways in

which to understand information

After re-examining a thousand studies, the rescarchers found that girls make up only a small percentage of students in computer science classes Girls

consistently rate themselves significantly lower than boys in their ability and confidence in using computers And they use computers less often than boys outside the classroom

Six years ago, the software company Purple Moon found that girls’ computer usage was falling behind boys And the number one reason why girls didn’t like computer games was not because they’re too violent, or too competitive Girls just thought they’re incredibly boring

Purple Moon says what girls want are characters and story lines they can relate to

what’s going on in their own lives Karen Gould of Purple Moon Software says, “What we definitely found from girls is there is no intrinsic reason why they wouldn’t want to play on a computer; it was just a content thing.”

The researchers argue that the technology gender gap that separates school girls from boys must be closed if women are to compete effectively with men in the

The main difference between Vietnamese and Western eating habits is unlike the West where everyone has their own plate of food, in Vietnam the dishes are placed on the table and everybody shares the food The meal usually begins with a set of at least four cold dishes, to be followed by the main courses of hot meat and vegetable Soup then is served and is followed by staple food ranging from rice, noodles to dumplings If you wish to have your rice to go with other dishes, you should say so in good time, because most of the Vietnamese choose to have the staple food at last or have none of them at all

Perhaps one of the things that surprise a Western visitor most is that some of the Vietnamese hosts like to put food into the plates of their guests In formal dinners, there are always “public” chopsticks and spoons for this purpose, but some hosts may use their own chopsticks This is a sign of true friendship and politeness It is always polite to eat the food If you do not eat it, just leave the food in the plate

People in Vietnam tend to over-order food, for they will find it

embarrassing if all the food is eaten When you have had enough, just say

store called Antimal House ‘That store was such a success that after five years

they sold it for a big profit

They took it easy for a couple of years, traveling throughout the states "We visited almost every zoo in the country, partly because we love animals and

partly because we were looking for inspiration for our next business," said Bill They finally decided on turtles and doves "They're easy to feed and care for, and

both animals live a long time,” said Bob

The store will be open from 9:00 a.m to 9:00 p.m Wednesdays through

Saturdays “We think those are hours that our customers will find very

convenient Plus, the three days off gives us a chance to go into the woods and find more critters We never buy our animals; we always try to collect them from the wild That way we can pass on huge savings to our customers And, of course, by removing these animals from their natural habitat, we protect them from being devoured by their natural enemies So our customers are happy, our

animals are happy, and we're happy It's a win-win for all of us."

The mountain town of Canton is at an elevation of 6,000 feet It is

surrounded by thick underbrush and pine trees Because of six years of drought, these plants are a major fire hazard Thousands of trees and tons of underbrush are going to be removed over the next five years at a minimum cost of $3 million The brush will be removed first, then the trees will be toppled and removed A cleared nonflammable area will then

safely surround the town of 4,000

Residents look forward to the work, because it will help their town survive a future disaster "But there are two problems," said one resident "All the extra trucks are going to make traffic pretty bad Once the area is

cleared, we have to make sure dirt bikers don't try to make the cleared

area their personal playground."

A recent fire burned 4,000 acres and destroyed 11 homes in nearby Hamilton The fire was raging toward Canton, but a sudden rainstorm put it out Residents know that they won't get lucky twice, so they are looking forward to this massive clearing operation

Ninety percent of the cutting and clearing will be paid with federal funds Unfortunately, if the trees are on private property, they must be paid for by the residents themselves Prices can range as high as $1,000 to cut and remove one tree Officials say that residents can apply for state and federal loans if necessary

Why are thousands of trees and tons of underbush going to be removed? Because new trees are Because people want Because they might Because they cause
