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.

They’ve sailed across Southeast Asia for centuries. Now these sea nomads are being forced to live on land скупка тепловизионных прицелов Bilkuin Jimi Salih doesn’t remember how old he was when he learned to dive only that all the men in his family can do it. It might have been his grandfather who taught him or his father or even an uncle or cousin. He recalls swimming dozens of feet underwater among the reefs collecting spider conches abalone and sea cucumbers to sell at the local fish market. “One of our specialties is that because we live on the sea and we’re always in the sea we can dive in the water for a long time” says Salih via a translator. “We learn by observing and from there we develop our own technique.” To most people Salih’s free diving skills are highly unusual; but not to his community. Salih is Bajau Laut an indigenous seafaring group in Southeast Asia that has lived a semi-nomadic lifestyle on the ocean for centuries. Living on boats and fishing for income and sustenance the Bajau Laut aren’t just reliant on the sea: they’re biologically adapted to it with larger spleens that give them the ability to hold their breath for far longer than the average person. “We’re very comfortable in the water” says Salih. The 20-year-old was born on board a lepa a type of houseboat on the shore of Omadal Island off the coast of Semporna in Malaysian Borneo.
