He had a variety of jobs in England, Spain and Canada before eventually becoming a successful pop star However, he is now best known foctbework he has_done to help starving people in Ethiopia. Like many other people he was shocked by TV programmes of people dying of hunger there in 1994. He therefore decided that he would persuade famous British pop singers to make a record together, and use the profits from it to send money and food. The record, called "Do they know it's Chrismast ?" was a great success and made a lot of money, all of which was used in Ethiopia. It soon became clear that much more money was still needed, and also in 1985 Geldo! organised two huge concerts on the same day, one in England and the other in US. Many of the world's best known pop stars played and sang, all of them perf9rming without being paid .The concerts were shown on TV throughout the world, and it has been estimated thatnearly a billion people saw some or all of the broadcas~.While they were watching the live perfomance on TV, people were ( asked to send money and many did so.

How did people ever live without , zippers? Zippers are very common, sa we farget that they are wonderfuL They Je very strong, but they open and close very easily. They come in many color sizes. In 1890s, people in The United States wore high shoes with a long row of buttons. Women's clothes often had rows of buttons too. People wanted an easier way to put on and take off clothes. . Witcomb L. Judson invented the zipper in 1893. He was an engineer in Chicago. He called the zipper a slide fastener. However, it didn't stay close very well. This was embarrassing, and people didn't buy many of them. Then Dr.Gideon Sundback from Sweden salved this prob1em. A zipper has three parts: 1. There are dozens of metal or plastic hooks ( called teeth) in two rows. 2 These are fastened to two strips of cloth. The cloth strips are flexible.They bend easily. 3 A fastener slides along and fastens the hooks together. When it slides the other way, it takes-the. hooks apart. --~ . Dr. Sundback put the hooks on the strips of c!oth. The cloth holds ail the hooks in place. They don't come apart very easily. This solved the problem of the first zippers. -' 1.
