Day5>>Fashion Industry

Fashion is not only a means of expression, it is also a means of earning money. Indeed, the clothing industry is one of the largest. Every year, it comprises a multi- billion dollar segment of the world economy. In the United States alone, the industry pulls in $180 billion yearly. Of all the clothing sold, more than half is for adult women's clothings, while only about 35 percent is for adult men's clothing. Chilldren's and infants' clothing rounds out the market. While most of the sales are still within actual store locations, a growing part of sales takes place online over the internet. As a result, countless websites are now devoted to clothings, and every designer and department store has its own catalog on the Web. This shift changes the face of the clothing industry, requiring greater versatility online and also, more focus on visual appeal for the browsing customer. While campanies and customers alike are encountering challenges to adpating to the online format, experts predict exponential growth in the coming years nevertheless.

DAY4>Animals in Mythology:part2

During the Middle Ages, people belivevd a unicorn's horn could cure many illnesses and neutralize poison. As it was considered very valuable, a powdered form of " Unicorn's Horn" was sold in many druggist's shop.

Did unicorn ever really exist? This is a question that remains unanswered today. some believe that, like the dragon, the unicorn never existed and was simple an animal from a fairy tale or mythology. Others believe that the unicorn still exists in remote regions of the earth, and can be seen only by people of exceptional virtue and honesty. There are still others who believe that the unicorn was a type of a hunman in order to survive. Someday, they believe, these humans will become unicorns once again. A final point of view is that, like the dinosaur, unicorns once exsited but became extinct. This theory suggests that because the unicorn's horn was used as a type of medicine, humans hunted the animal out of existence.

Animals such as the narwhal may provide evidence, or give us a clue, that unicorns once exsited on earth. The male narwhal is a huge sea creature that can be found in the Arctic seas. This animal has a single horn, or tusk, that projects from its forehead -similar to that of the unicorn. In fact, in the seventeenth century, people often confused the narwhal to the unicorn has led some people to believe that perhaps the unicorn is the narwhal's ancestor, or vice versa. Although narwhals have also been hunted for centuries , they may have escaped extinction for different reasons: they are only found in certain parts of the world, and are hunted by only a relatively small number of people.

Throughout history, stories have been written and told about different animals; many of these stories come from superstition or popular myths. Cats, for example, have been associated with good and bad luck. Birds were thought of as messengers and symbols of death, bad fortune, or peace. Many of the animals that have been written about over the years, such as the dove, black cat, or bat, can still be found on earth today. There are some creatures, through, that many people believe cannot be found anywhere; the unicorn is one such animal.


The unicorn is perhaps the most mystical of all creatures talked and written about over the centuries. In ancient Greek and Roman myths, it mythology, the unicorn is an animal that symbolizes good fortune. Some believe that the reason unicorns have not be seen for many centuries is beacuse we are living in "bad" times, and that unicorns will appear again when goodness exists on earth.

People have described the unicorn as a white animal that looks like a horse; some believe that it has the legs and hooves of a deer. Its most recognizable and unique feature, however, is the single horn that projects from the middle of its forehead.
