A brief history of sunglasses, from Ancient Rome to Hollywood
[url=https://kra27-28.cc]кракен[/url]Sunglasses, or dark glasses, have always guarded against strong sunlight, but is there more to “shades” than we think?
The pupils of our eyes are delicate and react immediately to strong lights. Protecting them against light — even the brilliance reflected off snow — is important for everyone. Himalayan mountaineers wear goggles for this exact purpose.
Protection is partly the function of sunglasses. But dark or colored lens glasses have become fashion accessories and personal signature items. Think of the vast and famous collector of sunglasses Elton John, with his pink lensed heart-shaped extravaganzas and many others.
When did this interest in protecting the eyes begin, and at what point did dark glasses become a social statement as well as physical protection?
The Roman Emperor Nero is reported as holding polished gemstones to his eyes for sun protection as he watched fighting gladiators.We know Canadian far north Copper Inuit and Alaskan Yupik wore snow goggles of many kinds made of antlers or whalebone and with tiny horizontal slits. Wearers looked through these and they were protected against the snow’s brilliant light when hunting. At the same time the very narrow eye holes helped them to focus on their prey.
In 12th-century China, judges wore sunglasses with smoked quartz lenses to hide their facial expressions — perhaps to retain their dignity or not convey emotions.

I know the pain of juggling countless cold calls, only to end up with dead-end conversations. But then I found B2B appointment setting services—and it completely changed my approach.

Hey there! If you’re on the hunt for a reliable countertop contractor, you’re in luck. I recently stumbled upon a directory that lists some of the top countertop contractors across the U.S., and it’s a game-changer. Whether you’re renovating your kitchen or building a new home, this list is a one-stop shop to connect with contractors who can bring your dream countertops to life.
The best part? The directory doesn’t just throw random names at you. It provides a national ranking of contractors based on their expertise, customer feedback, and industry standing. That means you don’t have to spend hours researching, trying to figure out which contractor is best for your project. The hard work is already done for you!
What I really like about this directory is how it also includes detailed info like the types of materials each contractor specializes in (granite, marble, quartz, etc.), their pricing structure, and whether they offer installation services. So, you can instantly see who might be a great fit for your needs.
Plus, this directory is constantly updated. So whether you’re a DIYer looking for tips or you need a seasoned professional, you’re always getting fresh and relevant options. I highly recommend bookmarking this resource if you’re planning any countertop projects in the future. The next time you need a countertop contractor, skip the stress and head straight to this site!
