colour lens
Colored contact lenses are a great way to change your look. If you think you’d look prettier with blue eyes or that you would be more striking with brown eyes, colour contact lenses may be what you need. There are colored lenses that can give you a completely new look, and others that can enhance your natural eye color. Don’t go boring, go fantastic! Accessorize your outfit with coloured contacts and create the full impact of any look. Generally, "opaques" and "color blends" will change the colour of both dark and light eyes, while "enhancers" will only intensify the color of light eyes.

tape measures
Tape measure blades come in two types of finishes: satin or gloss. They have a concave design, from a semi-inward curve to a heavy one, as shown in the image to the right. This inward curve helps to strengthen the blade so it remains stiff when extended to long vertical or horizontal lengths without support. Once the blade is extended beyond its designed strength, it will either twist and/or bend, depending on the position of the blade (vertical vs. horizontal).
Holding the tape blade in a vertical position, you should be able to walk (push) a 1-inch blade up a wall about 12 feet before the blade twists and bends; a 3/4-inch blade can be walked about 9 feet.
In a horizontal position, a 1-inch blade pulled out at an upward angle of 15 degrees should extend about 7 to 8 feet before it bends; a 3/4-inch blade will extend about 5 feet before it bends.
These measurements apply to a blade with a quality design. A thin blade will twist and/or bend at least 1 foot or more sooner than the measurements given above.

police using a riot shield
<iframe width="425" height="349" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/azsfg7Wlivk" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
history of the riot shield
A long time ago the medival people used shields which were made of wood and metal. Over time the shields became harder and better and could block bullets. Now the shields are made for swat teams and you can run around with it, and it can block all kind of bullets.
The future of this item could be just making clothing so people dont need to hold the shield.
