Must Have Products for Those who wear Eyeglasses

When we need eyeglasses, most of us have an option to go for contact lenses or eyeglasses. But some find eyeglasses more comfortable and manageable. And when it comes to contact lenses, some feel eyewear effects their look, the nosepads leave marks from extended usage, and managing them is an issue. At the end of the day it's your personal choice. And if you are among those who use eyeglasses then these products are sure to make things a lot easier.

Clip-On Eyeglasses Holder: Had I found this Clip-On Eyeglasses Holder earlier, it would have saved many of my sunglasses. As out of habit when not in use, I put them in my shirt pocket and they always get scratched. But now that we got Clip-On Glasses Holder, things are supposed to be different. It uses small-but-strong magnet/steel clip combo that works through clothing and holds your eyeglasses right where you want them securely even when you lean over or move around.

Coco de mer The Forbidden Fruit


In the islands of Praslin and Curieuse, in the Seychelles, grows one of the most exclusive palm trees in the world. The coco de mer (Lodoicea maldivica) has tall slender trunks that rise more than 30 meters above the ground. At its crown is a mass of fronds, with leaf blades fanning out nearly five meters across. On mature individuals, the leaves are often fringed at the edges. Their withered ends hang from the palm below the vibrant, healthy green crown.

Possibly the most renowned feature of coco de mer are its enormous seeds—the largest and heaviest seeds in the plant world. But it is the shape and not the size of the seeds, that makes coco de mer famous; the seeds bear an uncanny resemblance to a woman’s butt. Indeed, one of coco de mer’s archaic botanical name was Lodoicea callipyge, where callipyge in Greek means “beautiful buttocks”.

Rome’s Ubiquitous Water Fountains


nasoni water fountain

Drinking fountains in Rome are as quintessential as the city’s many Roman monuments. Standing about three feet high, these 200-pound cylindrical cast iron structures with a long, bent spout can be found all over the city’s piazzas and street corners. They are known as nasoni, which means “big nose”, because they are said to resemble one.

The ice-cold water that flows perpetually out of these nasone is brought to the metropolis from 30 kilometer away, from Lake Bracciano, via a long aqueduct that was built by the ancient Romans. Back then, Rome had nine aqueducts which fed 39 monumental fountains and 591 public basins, not counting the water supplied to the Imperial household, baths and owners of private villas. After the fall of the Romans, the aqueducts fell into disuse and crumbled away. They were restored only during the 17th and 18th centuries.

How War Drove to Extinction The Wake Island Rail

 Wake Island rail


The day Japan bombed Pear Harbor, many American outposts in the Pacific, such as Philippines, Guam, Midway, Wake Island, Malaya, Thailand, and Shanghai also came under aerial attack. These raids took place within a few hours after the bombing of Pearl Harbor’s naval base had begun.

One of the targets, Wake Island, was a tiny atoll located strategically between two other American possessions, Guam and Midway islands. Message of the attack on Pearl Harbor was received by the garrison on Wake Island at 6:50 AM local time; but the date was December 8, 1941—a full 22 hours ahead of Pearl Harbor because Wake Island was situated on the other side of the international date line. Without wasting much time, Wake Island’s commander, Marine Corps Major James Devereux, ordered his men to prepare for combat, and four of the twelve Wildcat fighter aircraft on the island’s airbase were sent up to keep watch.

Belgian Houses In Belgium every house is a hotchpotch

 There is a near universal appeal among Belgians to build their own house, which is reflected in the popular saying—“every Belgian is born with a brick in his stomach.” The result of this becomes obvious when you drive through any Flemish suburb. Every house is different from its neighbor. Worse still, every house is a hotchpotch of different architectural styles.

It’s like a “nightmarish architectural Legoland”, says Hannes Coudenys, who has been photographing these architectural shambles for the past several years and documenting them in his blog Ugly Belgian Houses.
