h0w's 7 - eleven g0t its name...

The c0mpany has its 0rigins in 1927 in dallas, texas, usa when an empl0yee 0f S0uthland Ice C0mpany, J0e C. Th0mps0n started selling milk, eggs and bread fr0m an ice d0ck. The 0riginal l0cati0n was an impr0vised st0refr0nt at S0uthland Ice C0mpany, an ice-manufacturing plant 0wned by J0hn Jeffers0n Green. Alth0ugh small gr0cery st0res and general merchandisers were present in the immediate area, the manager 0f the ice plant, J0e C. Th0mps0n disc0vered that selling "c0nvenience items" such as bread and milk was p0pular due t0 the ice's natural ability t0 preserve the items. This significantly cut back 0n pe0ple's need t0 travel l0ng distances t0 the gr0cery st0res f0r basic items. J0e C. Th0mps0n eventually b0ught the S0uthland Ice C0mpany and turned it int0 the S0uthland C0rp0rati0n which 0versaw several l0cati0ns which 0pened up in the Dallas area. Initially, these st0res were 0pen fr0m 7 a.m. t0 11 p.m., h0urs unprecedented in their length, hence the name. The c0mpany began t0 use the 7-Eleven name in 1946. By 1952, 7-Eleven 0pened its 100th st0re. It was inc0rp0rated as the s0uthland c0rp0rati0n in 1961. In 1962, 7-Eleven first experimented with a 24-h0ur schedule in austin, texas. In 1963, 24-h0ur st0res were established in las legas, f0rt w0rth and dallas.

The Green Fr0g or Br0nze Fr0g is a species 0f fr0g native t0 the eastern half 0f the united states and canada. Adult green fr0gs range fr0m 2-4 inches (5-10 cm) in b0dy length (sn0ut t0 vent). Males have a tympanum twice the diameter 0f the eye and a bright yell0w thr0at. Female tympanum diameter is ab0ut the same as that 0f the eye. D0rs0lateral ridges, pr0minent, seam-like skin f0lds that run d0wn the sides of the back, distinguish the green fr0g fr0m the bullfr0g, which entirely lacks them. Green fr0gs live wherever there is shall0w fresh water - p0nds, r0ad-side ditches, lakes, swamps, streams and br0oks. M0st 0ften seen resting al0ng the sh0re, they leap int0 the water when appr0ached. By inhabiting an ec0t0ne, in this case the terrestrial and aquatic habitat b0undary, green fr0gs (and 0ther aquatic ranid fr0gs), by empl0ying a simple leap, leave behind their many and faster terrestrial enemies that cann0t similarly cr0ss that b0undary. Green fr0gs will attempt t0 eat any m0uth-sized animal they can capture, including insects, spiders, fish, crayfish, shrimp, fr0gs, tadp0les, small snakes, birds, snails. Tadp0les graze 0n algae and water plants.

the persian gulf (teluk parsi)

The Persian Gulf, in the s0uthwest asian regi0n, is an extensi0n 0f the indian 0cean l0cated between iran and arabic peninsula. Hist0rically and c0mm0nly kn0wn as the Persian Gulf, this b0dy 0f water is s0metimes c0ntr0versially referred t0 as the Arabian Gulf by certain arab c0untries 0r simply The Gulf, alth0ugh neither 0f the latter tw0 terms are rec0gnized internati0nally.

The Persian Gulf was a f0cus 0f the 1980-88 iraq-iran war, in which each side attacked the 0ther's 0il tanker. In 1991, the Persian Gulf again was the backgr0und f0r what was called the Persian Gulf War 0r the "gulf" when iraq invaded Kuwait and was subsequently pushed back, despite the fact that this c0nflict was primarily a land c0nflict.

The Persian Gulf is rich with g0od fishing gr0unds, extensive c0ral reefs and abundant pearl 0yster, but its ec0l0gy has c0me under pressure fr0m industrialisati0n, and in particular, repeated petr0leum spillages during recent wars.
