Although historical records do not state the name of the first person to invent glasses up. But the evidence appears to believe that Salman Winona R. optical physicist who grew up in Florence, Italy seems to be receiving this honor.

          It is said that around the year 1280, while Armani's 35 years old, his eyesight had been affected during the trial, the refraction of light. After this event, Armani has grown into practice by trying to make glass lenses to correct their vision in the end he can bend thick artificial lens which gives a clearer picture successfully.

          Since 1300, when the Venetian craftsman in the center of the glass industry in Europe is preoccupied with rain. 'Disc glass for the eyes' lenses of the glasses to the market in the first convex lens for presbyopia is the only technology glasses do not spread into England circa 1326 glasses are common only among scholars and nobles. It will not rain on the lens specifically for each client. As usual, those who want to experiment eyewear lenses are available in many sizes. Then choose one that allows you to see the most obvious. Doctors in those days there was no guarantee that I made glasses. The method for measuring by sight, try to read the numbers, it has not happened.
  
        By the mid-14th century Italian glass disc, commonly referred to as the 'Matthews Lane' because of the shape of the lens, like seed pods of Iain Matthews. (Legumes), which rounded and curved surface on both sides. This popularity makes more than 200 years later, the glasses are generally known in name. Play Promethean mirror 'the Matthews Lane, this is the origin of the word' lenses' we used to call in the present.

         Concave glasses to correct nearsightedness make up for the first time in the 15th century the use of glasses to help them read the most. Concave glasses that allow a remote, it was clear.

          Seen as inferior value to the pursuit of wisdom and hence do not need a concave lens glasses for nearsightedness so rare and very expensive. When the printer was invented, making the book an enormous amount of publications produced widespread. Glasses began to change from a luxury to a necessity in life.

          The first glasses which contain arms made by the London ophthalmologist. Edward Antonio Letterman since 1727, when French newspapers have praised the features of this new invention. Allows the user to breathe and move comfortably without fear that the glasses will move from nose Moray.

          Today we often think of glasses that are lightweight. But the big flaw of the glasses is heavy. Frame weight of the past, which is made of bone, ivory or tortoiseshell be combined with lenses made of glass. The glasses can cause headaches. Lightweight metal frame or glass lenses, it also requires a lot of weight anyway. When the plastic lens was invented in this century. We can wear all day without being removed periodically to keep ears and nose break from the weight of the glasses.

Billiards game originated from France in the 15th century called "palle-maille" which is played on grass or straw on the billiard table, the earliest version was created. Table tops are made to look like grass. It is believed that King Louis the 14th (AD 1638-1715), who owned a billiard table, this is the first one with the assumption that later. Due to the billiard table manufacturer in the UK want to make their products unique from other manufacturers. Or perhaps to increase sales The initiative produced a billiards table sold turnovers. However, billiards orange, which is the cause of serious crimes controversy has led to the conclusion that permanent. Felt Billiards cladding surfaces must be green only.
           I have that on 8 December 1871 in the city of Plymouth man was charged with DUI. "Cause a melee brawler bring serious damage" caused controversy occurred during a match on billiard table orange. The competing parties accused opponents move the ball. Although the judge ruled that this man is guilty. But considering that the lighting environment.

           During insufficient competition The color of the table to make a red ball was not good. So this man was not convicted in any of the orange because that was a contributing cause of this controversy. With a long sight The judge suggested. "The game of billiards in the future is a harmonious unity. Billiard table should be green standards to see a clear contrast with the red ball. "

Shirt or t-shirt that we started to know each other during World War 2 has become fashionable to lose. In the United States alone, it has sold over one billion USD in 1990.

     Indeed, T-shirt bra, which uses input from outdoor work origin is unclear. But it is probable that the sailors. The story goes that One contemporary British sailors were ordered to sew a shirt attached to a vest. The Royals have not seen the other one underarm hair says. The ship leaves the harbor at Annapolis in Maryland during the 17th century, wearing T-shirts with short sleeves work that Tea, which means that tea has become the "T" word for T-shirt is certain. In 1913 the United States Navy. A sailor wearing a white short-sleeved cotton T-shirt under a jacket, jumper Perry dressed head to hips. Partly because it wants to close the ugly hairy chest.

     T-shirt is very useful for men and women over a million people, military everywhere. Especially in the tropics It looks neat, it was easy it was contrary to buckle. I polish shoes Or, if necessary, to roll out a pillow or a bandage. So to the t-shirt is a shirt in the postwar period. Even if the weather is warm. T-shirt to wear alone No vest It is a costume that conveys equal rights. I have put my career any military (including their son) to feel quite naked. If not wear T-Shirts

     Most of us would like to see workers wearing T-shirt. You want comfort wear. The T-shirt shows a replacement vest armpit. It became a symbol for the proletariat to Alonso Brando reinforces this status in the film, created in 1951 on "A Street Car Named Desire" in which Brando, playing a fierce fighter rough. Muscular visible beneath his skin-tight T-shirt. Brando as well as a battle flag t-shirt made of teen rebellion against parents. The most lasting image of this

    The late 60 t-shirt was stained. By the ropes before letting a pattern or paint or silkscreen printing, a peace sign and a sign of protest. T-shirt became a stage show personal feelings philosophy ads candidacy. And various items during the 70s, the Vietnam War was pushed gently into the world of letters and commentators argue. A young girl wearing a T-shirt printed message against the Vietnam War that people know their feelings.

     We do not carry protest signs on hand. In the complaint can write it on a shirt. Whether to listen to political campaigns. Or just to eat the burger was wearing a T-shirt out. While America is starting to focus on a review of more than knowledge. T-shirt would be the perfect stage debate. We do not have to say a word, everyone knows our position is. Whether it's war Sexual conflict Or against those in power Soon the T-shirt was the comment on everything that I have. Or media personal confession as "the freedom to smoke marijuana" or "Unlock Nixon" or "I'm still a virgin. (But here's old shirt) "after the sentence is proof of that. Absolutely nothing

    The great victory of the T-shirt that had come from neck shirt off. It was not a tie. Men have a different appreciation neck t-shirt off together eternally. Women can wear a shirt that is easy to maintain, instead of wearing it. Many offices allow employees to wear plain cotton T-shirt of the same color, then put a jacket over his work.

    Scholars who study the culture now, I regret that they had not expected that. T-shirt becomes a human invention that is the most popular. And most important of fashion in the 20th century, when shortly. Fashion Institute of Technology in New York's exhibition shirt to show the events in 1991 as they are written on the shirt. Since Operation Desert Storm To the case of William Kennedy, moreover. Three departments of the National Museum of American History, including costume department. Community life Politics and History It's t-shirt collection for the exhibition.

    The latest invention is now T-shirt with a new color called "embossed" is used to squeeze out of a tube directly into bigger drops. T-shirt makes children's dreams become shirt. It is embossed low The heat-sensitive T-shirt will change color when worn on the body, it is becoming popular today.

     Does anyone know T-shirt story will end, but when that is certain is that as long as Americans are thought to be cooling in the world is what it is. As long T-shirt that you would have to go on.

Dictionary that has evolved over many hundreds of years, that is started in the year 1225 in that it is named. "Dictionarius" which in Latin means "a collection of words" before dictionarius be filled with Latin vocabulary copied a row to make it easier to memorize. And to use it only in the classroom but only in Latin.

Century 15 dictionarius begin to blend in with the English language. To help readers understand more Latin. Is an English vocabulary of about 12,000 words listed by the Latin words that mean the same on either side of it all.

Dictionary of the English version of the original print is assumed that in the year 1552 by Mr. Richard Huloet as a sort, but it's still called that. "Dictionarius" is the purpose of printing up to support a study Latin as ever.

This is why the dictionary is known as the English version of real because Mr Richard English to explain the meaning of each word and then use the Latin description. He was a good humor. Seen from Explain the meaning of vocabulary words. In his dictionary, such as "bruises mean black spots that appear on the face or other parts of the body caused by being hit hard as a bruise at the eye of the wife. The shock caused by the fists of her husband very well. "

This type of vocabulary has increased gradually several books containing words only 2000-3000 term were mostly gathered up the terminology for some clear purpose. Some books, such as dictionaries, vocabulary is not sorted by the first letter of the word. But by spelling the last syllable of the word. These dictionaries poets do more to help in finding words in a poem. Also known as "Rhyming dictionary" (rhyming dictionary) time.

In fact, who compiled a dictionary word as it is not intended to include all the words that have come together, he just wanted to clarify some difficult words. But from this initiative Modern dictionaries became a book. The collection of all the words in English together.

Among the things that used to light the house. (Before the electronic age) and then taper occur far later. Its story began to appear in the documents of the Romans during the first century Roman records. The new invention is used instead of oil lamps.

           The candles made from tallow and vegetable colors and flavors. But eat Army famine will be a candle-Pan. And several hundred years later, a candle was recognized among administrators lighthouse. Which is usually isolated for each other.

          In the previous issue of candles. Cut the wick Even the candles that are very expensive, it is also necessary to cut the wick, leaving every half hour. Cut the wick is gradually trimmed out the candle burns out without making the cut will taper off if not bright enough and the consumption of meat, candles, too. The meat is used in candles are burning just 5 percent left to be dissolved. And even with the cut wick. But do not be number eight candle sticks weigh about 1 pound will be gone in less than half an hour. Castle was one of the hundreds of books and candles week. 'Officials cut the wick' particularly well.

           Cut the wick requires special expertise. Lawyers of the Scots, who wrote the biography of Samuel Johnson named James Boswell had to cut the wick itself several times but without success a few times in the year 2336, he wrote about it. that "I would be sitting up all night to cut the wick to. Until about two, I missed the candles he lit it up ... I can not have. "

           The lighting candles to light the other things around the house and put out a task that requires a lot. Since no one has invented matches. Who ever read or watched Don Gihon State. Remember the frustration of the hero's Law Services sonatas while lighting candles to light the charcoal well. In addition, cutting off the candle wick is made until the word 'snuff', which means 'cut the wick' has distorted the meaning becomes 'extinguish' or 'fire' to.

           Even in the 17th century, the theater will be there waiting to cut the wick (snuff boy) was deemed by cutting the wick is an art children who do this have to walk up to the stage as the drama going on intensely. To trim the wick neatly and skillfully. No fire or flame swing stumbling to disturb the sense of being interested and captivated the audience with the story live on stage. If a job well done He will receive a round of applause from the audience like an actor, art, cutting the wick up into the late 17th century, when the wax is widely used. Paraffin wax is more expensive than tripled. But the brighter Meat and some wax volatile Samuel Pepsi year's British record in the year 2210 to the use of wax in the theater at Drury Lane Theatre in London, "Now theater light up a thousand. and pretty much over with. "

          Moreover, the wealthy will use beeswax candles, home decor, elegant, special occasion needs. He has stated that one of the British House of candle wax over one hundred pounds in one month during the winter of 2308.

          I would like to taper through the present to congratulate its evolution in the next century. The English invented it, a white candle wax. America is making candles Green Bay berry aromas.

           Who knows, someday the world may have to turn to the power source, again, it is not.

If you comb your hair with a comb lead after an explanation of this phenomenon. Black soft lead from low quality, which can be used to comb the hair gently peel off the coating, making it look darker hair color.

          From the first birth The look of the comb hardly any change until 1960, when an electric comb for styling was invented in Switzerland.
