Though forks were first used in China thousands of years ago, it took a long time for them to make their way to what is now the United States.
Ancient Greeks began using forks after the Chinese. However, they did not use forks for eating. They used them for serving food. From Greece, forks moved to the Roman Empire. Romans first used long forks for cooking and serving. By the 300s, they began using table forks to feed themselves.
The table fork spread from there to what is now the Middle East and Turkey, before arriving in Italy and becoming popular in the 1000s. It stayed popular in southern Europe, but was not used much in northern Europe until it first became popular in France and Spain in the 1700s.

Do you spend your days feeling slow and sluggish, still sleepy hours after getting out of bed?
If you answered “yes” to that question, you need more exercise, not more sleep.
The best way to get rid of that tired feeling that never seems to go away is to begin exercising as soon as you wake up. Now, you don’t have to do a weight lifting routine, go on a 15 mile bicycle ride, or do hundreds of sit-ups. All you have to do is get moving.
One of the easiest ways to do that is to go for a walk as soon as you wake up. A walk will clear your head, get your muscles working, and remind you that there’s no chance of going back to bed. After your walk, you will not only be able to think clearly, but you will also have more energy and be prepared to tackle the rest of the day.

Every year around the time October begins, people start scrambling to find a Halloween costume. They go crazy, searching every store for the right costume, only to find out everybody is dressed the same. If you’re one of these people, and you’re tired of buying the same costume everybody else has, you should think about making your own costume.
If you don’t care about how your costume will look, making it will be easy. The goal of making a costume isn’t to have the perfect costume. The goal is to make something that you are proud of that is unique. If you want to be a wrestler, go buy some tights and a wig, and get ready to yell a lot. If you want to be a robot, get some cardboard boxes and silver spray paint, and make it happen.
Whatever you choose to be, your costume will be awesome, and it’ll be the only one like it at the party.

Wind whipped at Vanessa, Mo, and Jaime's faces as they trudged up the mountain.
"Do you have the ice samples?" Vanessa questioned Mo again.
"Why don't you carry them the rest of the way?" he responded irritably.
Mo was digging into his backpack to retrieve the samples when suddenly, a gust of wind snatched them out of his hands, sending them tumbling down the mountain.
"If we lose those, this was all for nothing!" Vanessa cried.
The wind roared angrily, churning flakes of snow that had newly begun to fall. How far had the samples gone? The three scientists stared at each other in horrified silence.

Marta was stumped. She had turned the details of the case over and over in her head, trying to figure out the answer. The suspect had somehow entered the store, stolen the artwork and exited without leaving any trace or fingerprints. Marta paced, her movements matching her storm of thoughts. Out of the corner of her eye, she noticed the new technological device she had been given to use, which she'd been avoiding like the plague. "I wonder…" she thought.
Hesitantly, Marta typed the details of the case into the device's keyboard. It whirred and spat out a list of similar cases and how they'd been solved.

The last time George saw Charity, they were eight years old, building forts of dirt and sticks in the corner lot. When Charity's family moved to Texas, George was heartbroken. There were 500 miles between them, but to George, she may as well have moved to the moon. For a time, George mourned the loss of their friendship. But much to his surprise, a letter appeared in his mailbox the next week. It was the first of many sharp, funny letters in which Charity's unique personality lept off the page. Through this correspondence, George followed six years of events in Charity's life: her family's many moves, her struggles in school, her triumphs playing the violin. He hoped that she looked forward to his responses as much as he looked forward to hers.

April's parents were dog breeders and their kennels were often filled with a litter of puppies. April helped care for the dogs by bathing them and giving them the best food and water.

Some dogs looked like they had been starved before coming to the shelter.

Picture this: a herd of elephants flies past you at sixty miles perhour, followed by a streak of tigers, a pride of lions, and a bunch of clowns. What do you see? It must be a circus train! One of the first uses of the circus train is credited to W.C. Coup. He partnered with P.T. Barnum in 1871 to expand the reach of their newly combined shows using locomotives. Before circus trains, these operators had to lug around all of their animals, performers, and equipment with a team of more than 600 horses. Since there were no highways, these voyages were rough and took a long time. Circuses would stop at many small towns between the large venues. Performing at many of these small towns was not very profitable. Because of these limitations, circuses could not grow as large as the imaginations of the operators. After they began using circus trains, Barnum and Coup only brought their show to large cities. These performances were much more profitable and the profits went toward creating an even bigger and better circus. Multiple rings were added and the show went on. Today, Ringling Bros. and Barnum and Bailey Circus still rely on the circus train to transport their astounding show, but now they use two.

Have you ever wanted to be a garbage collector when you grow up? Believe it or not, many children—especially young boys—respond with “trash man” or “garbage collector” when asked what they want to be when they grow up.
If you’re wondering why anyone would want to collect garbage for a living, remember that it’s all a matter of perspective, which is how a person sees things. Through the eyes of a young child, being a trash man can look quite attractive and appealing.
First, garbage collectors get to drive big, fancy trucks! Many preschool-aged boys find trucks and other large vehicles fascinating. Not only do these trucks look awesome, but many also have a large robotic arm extending from the side to pick up and dump large trash containers.
Some garbage collectors, called “step riders,” get to actually ride on a step on the outside of the garbage truck! They usually hold onto a bar on the back while the truck is in motion. When the truck stops, these step riders hop off and load trash into the rear of the truck before stepping back up and riding to the next stop.
To a small child, being a step rider looks like loads of fun!

John Robert Lewis is a United States Representative from the state of Georgia. He has served in the House of Representatives since 1987. Lewis has dedicated his life to public service and to advocating for Civil Rights. In fact, he is the last surviving member of the Big Six leaders of the American Civil Rights movement in the 1960s.
Now Lewis hopes to reach a new generation of Civil Rights Activists with his own comic book memoir entitled “March: Book Two.” The comic tells the story of Lewis’s life as part of the historic movement and how he became part of the March on Washington, where Lewis was one of ten speakers invited to address the huge crowd that gathered at the Washington Monument.
Today, Congressman Lewis could not be happier about his new comic book memoir. “It is my hope,” he says, “…that more and more of the young people engaging in non-violent protests would take a lesson from “March” and use the way of nonviolence.”
