The pen with an endless supply of metal “ink”. The stainless steel pen features 6.25” long x 0.375″ diameter, a special metal alloy tip and an anodized aluminum barrel, making it just much more awesome.
The Endless Ink Pen is a hybrid of pens and pencils. Its special metal alloy tip means that this pen has an endless supply of “ink”, never dry up, cannot smudge or leak, never needs to be sharpened and does not need a cap. However, if you wish for a finer point or if the point becomes slightly blunt, you can ’sharpen’ it again using sandpaper.
If you use the sort of paper typically used in printers and photocopiers, the pen leaves a mark that looks as if it was made by a pencil. In fact, the Endless Ink Pen works flawless on nearly any normal writing surface, glossy papers and even wet conditions. It can also write upside down. However, the only surfaces that has shown issues are on newsprint and cardboard. It is advisable not to drop the pen onto a hard surface, otherwise you may snap the nib off.
Perhaps, the only drawback would be that if you make a mistake, you would not be able to erase it. If you are planning to write the definitive 21st century novel, I would recommend a regular pen. However, fostering innovation and as a scientific curiosity, I like the Inkless Metal Pen. The awesome pen could be your “Companion for Life”
The late talented Japanese music video and commercials director Nagi Noda created 15 most awesome animal hair hats from human hair. Her website calls these ‘hair hats’ . The headpieces depict various kind of animal such as dog, lion, cow, rabbit, elephant, poodle, monkey, giraffe, owls, rhino and other animal. These amazing photos were photographed by Kenneth Cappello.
Nagi Noda was known for her direction of music video, commercials and ad campaigns for Coca Cola, Nike and Laforet, for which she had won a host of prizes.
Unfortunately, Nagi died at the age of 35 after surgical complications from injuries sustained in a traffic accident. Her demise is a great loss to the industry.
Check out this clip from NTV’s “ Super Surprise ” featuring a guy who has trimmed his hair to look exactly like a hat.
The narrator introduces him as “Danny, a man who has never taken off his hat for 20 years.” It does not take very long to figure out that his hat is actually his hair, which he has carefully groomed into the appearance of a hat.
Apparently, he was once so poor that he could not afford a hat, so he decided to grow his own. Now, wherever he goes his presence catch people attention.
Chopsticks are made from a variety of materials: bamboo, wood, plastic, bone, metal, jade and ivory. Disposable chopsticks are made from bamboo or wood. Bamboo and wood chopsticks are cheap, low in temperature conduction and provide good grip for holding food due to their matte surfaces. They can warp and deteriorate with continued use. Almost all cooking and disposable chopsticks are made of bamboo or wood.
But, no matter where you live, the fact remains that disposable chopsticks are made by clear cutting forests for the wood. On a recent updates, apparently, China’s Ministry of Commerce has sent out a warning to chopstick makers in June to warn them that they will face local government restrictions: “Production, circulation and recycling of disposable chopsticks should be more strictly supervised”. The restrictions are aimed at decreasing the use of the throwaway utensil… – LA Times
Let us begin with China’s 1.3 billion populations. In one year, they go through roughly 45 billion pairs of the throwaway utensils; that averages out to nearly 130 million pairs of chopsticks a day. And the export market accounts for an additional 18 billion pairs annually.
Greenpeace China has estimated that to keep up with this demand, 100 acres of trees need to be felled every 24 hours. Think here of a forest larger than Tienanmen Square — or 100 American football fields — being sacrificed every day. That works out to roughly 16 million to 25 million felled trees a year. Deforestation is one of China’s gravest environmental problems, leading to soil erosion, famine, flooding, carbon dioxide release, desertification and species extinction.
However, if you compare 100 acres per day to the size of China’s forests, it still isn’t that much as China is a big country, but chopsticks are far from the only thing pressuring Chinese ecosystems.
The Bring Your Own Chopsticks movement has been gaining momentum, but is still far from succeeding in changing people’s mindset. But there is some hope on the horizon: As China grows richer, more restaurants will be able to afford the equipment to wash and sterilize reusable chopsticks.
