The World of Blue Jeans


1. Most of our jeans come from Zhongshan, China
2. Jason Ferro is the owner of Bread Denim, a company at the heart of the Los Angeles-based luxury denim industry.
3. We spend about $15,000,000,000 on jeans per year
4. I find many advertisements for selling blue jeans on Google.
On Wikipedia: Jeans have changed in reasons worn, color, and style over the years. From work clothing to everyday appearal starting in the 1950’s. Jeans fabric was first made in the 1600’s for sailors. In the 1850’s, two men, Jacob Davis and Levi Strauss invented copper rivets to improve the quality of jeans. Recycled blue jean is becoming a popular insulation material used in the construction of houses. In the United States during the 1950s, wearing of blue jeans by teenagers and young adults became symbolic of mild protest against conformity.

6.My favorite pair of jeans are my Aeropastle Hailey Skinny Flare Distressed Jeans. This is because I love the color and look of them. I also really like the way they fit me.

Foolproof Test For Catching Liars Still Elusive

The polygraph measures the anxiety, pulse rate, respiration, and electrodermal (sweaty palms) in which they ask yes or no questions. The National Academy of Science concluded the polygraph machine is lacking. It gives a chance result and well below perfection. When the examiner and the examinee is face to face in the polygraph session it becomes a factor or unknown problem. Aldrich Ames was the CIA agent who spied for the Soviets; in which the polygraph test didn't catch him.


My take on the polygraph test is that it is bad; beacuse it seems very unreliable. I would not trust the polygraph because it could be wrong. Personally i would not like to try the test. Yeah it could be used in school like if there was a fight you could get the truth out of people.

China's Me Generation

Thailand is so great because young chinese are better educated, are more worldly, have more prosperity, personal freedom, and they don't require a democracy. In 1989, at Tiananamen Square, student activists rebelled and held demonstrations in protest of China becoming a democracy. It is important because it shows to stand up for what you believe in. A sinologist studies ecenomic growth. An example of China;s youth standing up to athority is where police attempted to enforce rules limiting each household to a single registered animal no taller than 14 inches. People held a public demontration. The protagonists' power is that in 7 years they will have over 1/2 the China population and they will be catered to so no more protests will happen.

I have the power to be who i want to be. In the USA we have good education and freedom. If we work hard at school we will succeed in the future and the same goes in China if we work hard we will have the right to play hard.

Mike Jagger: A Stone Alone

What I know about Mike Jagger is that he started his music career with a band named the rolling stones. Jagger didn't like the fact that the rolling stones made an album only every 3 years.Then he became a solo artist. He became a solo artist in 1985 with an album called "She's the Boss". By 1989 Jagger had 2 solo albums and did a tour.

I think Mike Jagger should be considered a good artist. He should be considered a good artist because he liked to record his albums in 4 takes a day instead of 50.Mike Jagger also didn't like to sing to himself unlike other artist. Jagger also is in the music business for more then 40 years and that's got to give heim some credit.
