	Leather jacket - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		For instance, the leather jacket have often been associated with bikers, military aviators, punks, and police, which have worn versions designed for protective purposes and often for their potentially intimidating appearance.
		The leather jackets worn by aviators and members of the military were brown in color and frequently called "Bomber jackets" as seen on numerous stars in the 1940s and 1950s such as Jimmy Stewart in the 1957 film, Night Passage.
		Leather jackets designed for protective use are safety equipment designed to protect the wearer from serious injury and are heavier, thicker, and often equipped with armor, thus becoming a very practical item of clothing regardless of the symbolism invested in them by popular culture.

		Though fish culture has been in practice for centuries in Europe and thousands of years in China, stable and specialized strains have not been produced as yet even among carps which are the only group of pond fish that have been subjected to experiments in selection.
		In the case of cultured carp the index was assumed as ranging from 2 to 3, and the carp were divided into high-backed (l/h = 2 – 2.6) and wide-backed (l/h = 2.6 –3).
		Selected hybrids of cultured carp x Amur wild carp have been produced to the fifth generation (applying a special scheme of crossings) and resulted in the creation of a new breed group which gained the name of Ropsha (after the name of the experimental farm where the work was conducted), or Northern carp.
