Misconceptions. The OASDI tax is separate from your federal income taxes that you must also have withheld from your paychecks by your employer. In addition, you do not get to claim tax deductions to reduce your OASDI tax like you do your federal income taxes, nor does your tax rate depend on your filing status.
Silk was discovered around 30 BC in Ancient China. They made it from silkworm cocoons by unwinding them and then weaving them into clothes. They usually made the traditional r â¦ obe that was popular for daily wear at that time, and the robe is now more commonly ceremonial dress attire.
It is only natural that James I and subsequent English sovereigns would encourage production of this textile amongst the settlers of Virginia. Chinese legend tells how silk was discovered almost 5,000 years ago by Xiling Shi, the wife of the semi-mythical emperor Huanghi. Walking in the garden, the empress plucked a cocoon from a mulberry tree. The cocoon fell by accident into her cup of tea and she watched as a strong white thread unraveled. However it was discovered, the potential for such a thread was first realized in China, where silk fabric was being produced by 3000 B.C.
