How was the blackboard made?
Blackboards, also known as chalkboards, were originally made from sheets of slate, a fine grained metamorphic rock derived from clay. Slate had the double advantage of being easily split into fine sheets, and having a surface just rough enough for chalk to adhere to. Quarrymen would split the sheets of slate and dress them into squares or rectangles to be mounted in classrooms.Chalk originally was also a rock: a soft, white, porous limestone composed of calcium carbonate.Blackboards or chalkboards were used in schoolrooms from at least the early 19th Century right down to the present, but more recently have been largely supplanted by whiteboards or dry erase boards which do not suffer from the dust problem generated by chalk. Chalkboards themselves, where still used, have not been made from slate for a long time, nor has chalk been made from limestone. Both were replaced by manufactured substitutes.Despite the chalkboard being today pretty much obsolete, you will still hear the term "chalk talk" used when a speaker or teacher illustrates points by drawing or writing on a dry erase board or easel tablet.
What are the rights of a cinematographer?
Photographer and Cinematographer Rights1. You can make a photograph of anything and anyone on any public property, except where a specific law prohibits it.e.g. streets, sidewalks, town squares, parks, government buildings open to the public, and public libraries.2. You may shoot on private property if it is open to the public, but you are obligated to stop if the owner requests it.e.g. malls, retail stores, restaurants, banks, and office building lobbies.3. Private property owners can prevent photography ON their property, but not photography OFF their property from a public location.4. Anyone can be photographed without consent when they are in a public place unless there is a reasonable expectation of privacy.e.g. private homes, restrooms, dressing rooms, medical facilities, and phone booths.5. Despite common misconceptions, the following subjects are almost always permissible:* accidents, fire scenes, criminal activities* children, celebrities, law enforcement officers* bridges, infrastructure, transportation facilities* residential, commercial, and industrial buildings6. Security is rarely an acceptable reason for restricting photography. Photographing from a public place cannot infringe on trade secrets, nor is it terrorist activity.7. Private parties cannot detain you against your will unless a serious crime was committed in their presence. Those that do so may be subject to criminal and civil charges.8. It is a crime for someone to threaten injury, detention, confiscation, or arrest because you are making photographs.9. You are not obligated to provide your identity or reason for photographing unless questioned by a law enforcement officer and state law requires it.10. Private parties have no right to confiscate your equipment without a court order. Even law enforcement officers must obtain one unless making an arrest. No one can force you to delete photos you have made.These are general guidelines regarding the right to make photos and should not be interpreted as legal advice. If you need legal help, please contact a lawyer.
