Fashionable watches

At the end of the 20th century, Swiss watch makers were seeing their sales go down as analog clocks were considered unfashionable. They joined forces with designers from many countries to reinvent the Swiss watch. The result was that they could considerably decrease the pieces and production time of an analog watch. In fact it was so cheap that if a watch broke it would be cheaper to fling it away and buy a new one than to repair it. One of these Swiss watch manufacturers in progress a new brand, Swatch, and called graphic designers to revamp a new annual collection.

Designer jeans

Designer jeans are high-fashion jeans that are marketed as position symbols. The Nakash brothers (Joe, Ralph, and Avi) are normally credited with starting the trend when they launched their Jordache line of jeans in 1978. Designer jeans are cut for women and men and frequently worn skin-tight. They typically feature prominently able to be seen designer names or logos on the back pockets and on the right front coin-pocket.

Java Island

Java (Indonesian, Javanese, and Sudanese: Java) is an island of Indonesia and the position of its capital city, Jakarta. Once the centre of powerful Hindu kingdoms and the core of the colonial Dutch East Indies, Java now play a dominant role in the economic and political life of Indonesia. With a population of 124 million, it is the most crowded island in the world; it is also one of the most thickly populated regions on Earth.

Formed frequently as the result of volcanic events, Java is the 13th largest island in the world and the fifth largest island of Indonesia. A chain of volcanic mountains form an east-west spine the length of the island. It has three main languages, and most population is bilingual, with Indonesian as their second language. While the best part of Javanese are Muslim (or at least nominally Muslim), Java has a diverse combination of religious beliefs and cultures.

Health care

Health care, or healthcare, is the prevention, treatment, and management of illness and the defense of mental and physical well being through the services available by the medical, nursing, and allied health professions. According to the World Health Organization, health care embrace all the goods and services measured to promote health, as well as preventive, curative and palliative interventions, whether going to be individuals or to populations. The organized provision of such services may make up a health care system. This can include an exact governmental organization such as, in the UK, the National Health Service or cooperation across the National Health Service and Social Services as in Shared Care. Before the term "health care" become popular, English-speakers referred to medicine or to the health sector and spoke of the behavior and prevention of illness and disease.
