Blue Jeans

THE SIMPLE HISTORY OF BLUE JEANS
THE SOURCE OF INSPIRATION--
In 1853, the California gold rush was in full swing, and everyday items were in short supply. Levi Strauss, a 24-year-old German immigrant, left New York for San Francisco with a small supply of dry goods with the intention of opening a branch of his brother's New York dry goods business. Shortly after his arrival, a prospector wanted to know what Mr. Strauss was selling. When Strauss told him he had rough canvas to use for tents and wagon covers, the prospector said, "You should have brought pants!," saying he couldn’t find a pair of pants strong enough to last. One of Levi's many dry goods customers was a tailor named Jacob Davis.
THE OBSTACLE--
At that time, Strauss didn't have much canvas with him. As for the taylor, Jacob, he was afraid someone would steal his idea of making jeans out of levi's canvas.
THE SOLUTION--
Strauss wrote to his brothers to send him over more rolls of canvas to meet the demands. Jacobd he should apply for a patent on the process, but didn't have the $68 that was required to file the papers. He needed a business partner and he immediately thought of Levi Strauss. Amazing fact that blue jeans themselves were never patented ...just the pocket seam rivet idea.
THE TAKE OFF--
Jacob wrote to Levi to suggest that the two men hold the patent together. Levi, who was an astute businessman, saw the potential for this new product and agreed to Jacob's proposal. On May 20, 1873, the two men received patent #139,121 from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. We consider that day to be the official "birthday" of denim blue jeans as this was the only type of pant material to use riveted pockets.
Until today, people still wears blue jeans &it is quite a hit;D

nono, im not here to lecture about smoking again!;D lols


i just came to put up the first completed brochure;D it's soft copy.


ive actually already done..but got deleted somehow so i did it..again.


good thing is that it is soft copy. Im still working on thy other;D


This is the cover page
This is the inside page.
I did it with Adobe Photoshop, my favourite editing program;D
lol;DD
Anyway, this was not really what i wanted but it should work, i think.
And it was so hard to find pictures that the health promotion board held
so i didnt put any, cause i couldnt even find it.
Honestly, I have no idea what I was writing, all i knew was that I need to do this within time
and expectation;DD
lol;DD
I hope this was good;D
I liked the cover page, to be honest.;DD lol
praising my own work;D
oh well, this is all for now;D

research.

hey people!;D

cherine here...again!;D

better get ready to wear specs;DD cause this might be long;DD

im sick like nuts, so im not sure if im gonna be well enough to go to school tmr to pass up

the brochures and research to the other members.;DD

pray that i get well;D

ok, here goes nothing;D

second hand smoke.

i decided to put this up as i notice that not many really posted much about this topic under tobacco abuse.

fast fact about secondhand smoke from the link i provided,

secondhand smoke is also known as passive smoking.this i believe many would have known by now;DD

When a cigarette is smoked, only half of the smoked is inhaled &exhaled by the smoker itself while the other half floats around in the air.

Passive smoking is also the cause for 3000 death of non-somkers every year from lung cancer,

thats very sad, it's like smokers are murderers in other forms, taking lives from their inconsiderate acts.

secondhand smoke also cause health problems to infants under 18 months every year, about 150 000 to 300 000 cases.

Not only that, it also worsened 200 000 to 1 000 000 asthmatic cases in children.

Passive smoking is also one of the main reason why there are thousandof new cases of asthmatic people every year.

In my opinion, childrens get infected the most in secondhand smoke.

Kids who breathe in secondhand smoke could suffer from:

1)dental calvities
2)eye &nose irritation
3)irritability

isn't that sad?

Kids are suppose to enjoy thier childhood with fun, not with visits to the doctirs and clinics.

From here we can bring up one fact,

SMOKERS ARE MUDERERS &INCONSIDERATE.

is that 2 facts?lol!

:DD

Many people think that if they dont smoke, they'll be safe.

But they too have to be careful, especially if they stay near smokers.

HOWEVER, smokers still bear the highest risk

Not only are they directly breathing in the 4000 chemicals, they are also indirectly breathing in secondhand smoke.

GROSS.

anyway, we should really be concerened about residents who live near areas where there are many smokers.

smokers in singapore is rising real quick and they inconsiderate act is also rising.

Smokers just smoke wherever they feel like. Many can be seeen smoking in void decks.

and this could be a risk for residents living in the first few floors, who will be breathing in second hand smoke.

NEVER EVER UNDERESTIMATE SECONDHAND SMOKE.

Though it does not kill you, but it is the reason that took thousadns of lives every year around the world.

ohoh!

i found something interesting!

do you know,

that secondhand smoke can produce six times the pollution of a busy highway when in a crowded restaurant?

IS THAT EBOUGH TO GET YOU GUYS CONCERN?

i hope it does.

and,

People who smoke a pack a day die on average 7 years earlier than people who have never smoked.
Parents can help their children from preventing smoking in their teengnage age by letting them know about the facts about smoking.

They should also let their children grrow up in a smoke free enviroment.

This way, their kids will not be influeced;D


ok,

i think ill end here for now.

i gotta go get some rest;D

i still wanna survive to get all the works done!;D

probably, if i could, ill post up the 5 facts about teenage smoking;D

It's pretty interesting, i've read it already;D

About.com is really a good site.

The information i got about secondhand smoke can be found in the link i added in the website.

about.com also have polls;D

try it ok?

;D

THE TEAM!!!!

;DD

WWEEHHSS~~~ me again!CHERINE:D

lol;DD

oh well now im gonna post about the world's most boring but greatest thing, TEAM WORK.

honestly speaking, our team don't have much team work but enough to survivie?lol;D

We actually work together starting from the simpliest act, informing each other about our researches &task done.;D

We then move on by bringing our work to class and start critisizing the bad points about our works...lol;D but the critisizm does work ok...;D

that's the type of CRAP our team produces;D

Our team started to use TEAMWORK when we realise that we were falling behind from the other teams &lacked informations to meet the teacher's demands...sad lo..

TEAMWORK helped us;D

&we eventually came up with some ideas for our posters and so on;D

erm...can i say....that all of our quotes are really..crappy?....so...it's undergoing the process of filtration...this will be edited..sorry....lol;D
