Óbolo

"Et lorsqu'il eut donné son obole à Charon... "

C. Baudelaire


Cuando sus posibilidades económicas lo permitían, los antiguos griegos sepultaban a los muertos con una moneda bajo la lengua. No lo hacían ni por ostentación ni por capricho: la finalidad de la donación era que el difunto pudiese contratar los sevicios del malhumorado barquero Caronte y cruzar cómodamente la frontera fluvial del inframundo; que dejaran el óbolo en la boca del cadáver se explica por la ausencia de bolsillos en la vestimenta paleohelénica.

Con todo, emplear un depósito así de discreto tiene la utilidad añadida de despistar a los rateros. Puede parecer innecesario, pero no lo es. Ayer mismo se inició en Barcelona el juicio a un mosso d'esquadra acusado del ruin delito de afanarle la cartera a un suicida.

Confiemos en que los griegos no estuviesen bien informados de la marcha del inframundo. Bastante malo es dejar esta vida por la propia mano como para empezar la siguiente haciéndose un largo en el gélido Aqueronte.

Most of today's blackboards are either a melamine laminate or textured acrylic because they are light weight and durable. The chalk is now a liquid chalk in a marker pen, so the chalk and the boards have survived, but like everything else, they have been modernized for efficiency.

Most ink printers use some way of ink monitoring. When a new cartridge is fitted, the ink monitor (level) is reset to full. And as the cartridge is used and ink is being depleted, the ink monitor tracks and displays the ink levels, so you know roughly how much ink you have remaining in the ink cartridges or ink tanks.

Chalk board blackboards go back to the first organized school classroom. Probably, several 100's of years ago. Before that, they used a charcoal stick and wrote on any flat surface available. The problem being, charcoal doesn't erase, so a new writing surface was required very often. Before they needed chalkboards, somebody had to invent chalk for the chalk boards. It was discovered crushed up limestone produced a white powder that could be compressed into a soft white stick that would make a white line as opposed to the black line that a charcoal stick left. The best part was that it erased off of a smooth stone surface. Then some bright fellow cut thin slabs of slate rock, polished it and the chalkboard was born. Chalk writing on slate chalkboards was the mainstay in the classroom for many years, and even the business world realized they could advertise on chalk boards, regularly changing their advertising message.

Born in Rio de Janeiro, he was the seventh child of Emperor Dom Pedro I of Brazil and Empress Maria Leopoldina and thus a member of the Brazilian branch of the House of Braganza (Portuguese: Bragança), and was referred to using the honorific "Dom" from birth.[6] His father's abrupt abdication and flight to Europe in 1831 left a five-year-old Pedro as Emperor and led to a grim and lonely childhood and adolescence.

There are a number of things to consider when choosing false eyelashes to enhance your eyes. First, do you want a bit of extra fullness and length that still looks natural, or are you willing to sacrifice the natural look as a trade off for killer eyelashes? For the natural look, choose the false eyelashes that are individually applied, one lash at a time. If you prefer the dramatic look, choose the full set of eyelashes that are sold in strips.
