There are few landmarks in any city of the world for which the city is well known. Big Ben is one such feature for London. The city has numerous other features and landmarks which ensure a regular flow of tourists towards London, but no other monument or building is as popular as Big Ben. Big Ben is a spectacular site at night. The reason behind this fact is that the faces of the clock are illuminated at night. With this additional feature the Big Ben looks amazingly beautiful. Many tourists from all parts of the world come to visit London to see the Big Ben for themselves. Such is the power of this place. Another important thing about the illumination of Big Ben is that as it is very close to the parliament house, it also tells you when a parliament session is going on. A light above the Big Ben indicates this thing. The name Beg Ben is not actually given to the tower. Actually the bell hanging inside the tower is called as Big Ben. That bell weighs thirteen ton. It was named after Sir Benjamin Hall who was the first commissioner in London.

The Big Ben was the biggest bell of its kind for many years. The bell was completed in 1854. The time given by the Big Ben is accurate. You can get the hour strike with the accuracy of one second from the Big Ben. The clock completed four years earlier than the tower itself. The tower took much longer to complete as compared to the bell, the Big Ben. The Big Ben is actually attached to the parliament house. This is an added attraction about the Big Ben. The Name of the Tower in which the Big Ben is hanging is Sr Stephen’s clock tower. The sound of Big Ben is so popular that it is used by many TV channels. These channels most often use the sound of Big Ben to conduct some news shows. The British TV uses this sequence in News at ten while it is also being used in New York for the same purpose.

The clock is not only famous for its illumination and the sound it produces, but also for the accuracy it provides to the people for time keeping. The accuracy of the Big Ben is almost of one second. The weather of London can have an impact on this accuracy. In case the weather is severe and the situation is at the extreme, there can be delays. In the year of 1962 the New Year eve finished ten minutes late because it was snowing heavily and the clock got delayed because of it.

The Big Ben is a huge clock. The mechanism of this clock weighs around 5 tons. The Minute hands of this clock are 14 feet long. The figures on this clock are more than 2 feet in length. These features make Big Ben one of the most loved monuments in the world. People visit London especially to see the Big Ben.

When the nike air max 1 iPod Sport Kit was announced almost two months ago, the general public was thrilled, skeptical, or constructively critical about the high-tech iPod fitness system, in which a Nike shoe "talks" to an iPod nano wirelessly.We've seen digital pedometer/calorie counters before, but the nike air max e-Apple union had us wondering how far this concept could go.
