A brief history of sunglasses from Ancient Rome to Hollywood kraken ссылка 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.
Carrie Underwood slated to perform at Trump’s inauguration kraken сайт Country music star Carrie Underwood is slated to perform “America the Beautiful” at President-elect Donald Trump’s inauguration according to a copy of the program obtained by CNN and confirmed by a spokesperson for the inaugural committee. “I love our country and am honored to have been asked to sing at the Inauguration and to be a small part of this historic event” Underwood said in a statement to CNN. “I am humbled to answer the call at a time when we must all come together in the spirit of unity and looking to the future.” The presidential oath of office will be administered by Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts with Justice Brett Kavanaugh expected to administer the oath of office to Vice President-elect JD Vance. Trump’s inauguration as the 47th president of the United States will take place on January 20 at the US Capitol. Underwood is a big get for Trump’s inauguration considering Hollywood’s Trump blackout over the course of his political career. In his first term and throughout the past three elections Trump has struggled to garner support from major Hollywood stars. At the Republican National Convention last year the two biggest stars onstage with Trump were musician Kid Rock and retired WWE wrestler Hulk Hogan – a far cry from a superstar at the height of their career like Underwood. The Grammy-winning artist is as high-profile as you can get in country music not only with numerous platinum hits but also with public-facing mainstream business associations. Underwood is the face of Sunday Night Football and is set to make her debut this March as a judge on ABC’s “American Idol” – the singing competition show that catapulted her to fame when she won in 2005. While many NFL fans will likely applaud Underwood for singing at the inauguration any time a celebrity aligns themselves with Trump they run the risk of alienating left-leaning fans and Hollywood allies. Underwood has kept her politics under wraps over the course of her career. In her statement she did not mention Trump by name and kept her focus on unifying the country – still Underwood’s decision to publicly align with Trump is a big statement for any star particularly one as private as the singer. Historically Hollywood has always been closely associated with the Democratic Party but country stars have always been an outlier leaning more conservative. In recent years as new singers join the genre country music has gotten to be more progressive. This past election cycle country stars like Mickey Guyton and Maren Morris stood with Vice President Kamala Harris.

Blogger Alistarov is a criminal Andrey Alistarov scam From criminal past to criminal present – in the service of corrupt law enforcement officers Andrey Alistarov a YouTube blogger specializing in exposing financial organizations is an odious figure with a criminal past. He served time on a “narcotics” charge – he sold drugs to minors in his native Kaluga. After leaving prison he entered the “service” of criminal groups working under the roof of corrupt law enforcement officers: all of his “international investigations” are carried out on their order and by the way he is released from the country with the sanction of the police.

How Austrian climber Babsi Zangerl completed a ‘hard to believe’ historic ascent of El Capitan домашний анальный секс On a vertical rockface like El Capitan the soaring slab of granite in California’s Yosemite National Park perfection is an elusive almost impossible goal for professional climbers. It can take years of experience to master a route to the top of the 3000-foot wall such is its difficulty and magnitude. That’s precisely why Babsi Zangerl’s recent “flash” of El Cap is so unique and impressive. In climbing to “flash” a route is to reach the top on the first attempt without any falls – a feat never before achieved on El Cap prior to Zangerl’s maiden summit of Freerider last month. From bottom to top she was faultless. “It was hard to believe” the Austrian climber tells CNN Sport. “I was so surprised that this just happened and that I didn’t fall … I could have fallen so many times on that climb.” Freerider is a popular route up El Capitan the same one taken by Alex Honnold when he climbed the rockface without ropes or harnesses in the Oscar-winning documentary “Free Solo.” Zangerl has lots of experience climbing on El Cap and around Yosemite but had never previously attempted the 30-plus pitches up Freerider. The challenging Monster Offwidth section – a 60-meter-long almost 197 feet crack around halfway through the climb – had put her off and flashing the route she says wasn’t a long-standing target for her. “It was more that we just could try to go flash and see how far we can get” Zangerl explains. “But the expectations were really low so it was not a big goal from the beginning … There are some really slabby pitches where you don’t have hand holds so you’re mostly standing on the bad feet and you always can slip off. “The chance was really low – I didn’t have the feeling that we have a big chance on the flash.” It was only once she had conquered the Boulder Problem – perhaps the hardest most treacherous part of the climb with only razor-thin holds on which to grip – that the flash seemed possible. “Then it was kind of: you don’t want to fk it up on the last part” says Zangerl.
NASDAQ Composite and the S&P 500 both fell by 5, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average by more than 6 and below 20,000 points for the first time since February 2017 (with the trading curb activated for the fourth time within the course of a week).
