Blackboards are commonly used in teaching.
The chalk marks can be quickly and easily wiped off
with a damp cloth or a special blackboard eraser
consisting of a block of wood covered by a felt pad.
Chalkmarks made on some types of wet blackboard
can be difficult to remove.
Image
Blackboards have disadvantages:
they produce a fair amount of dust,
depending on the quality of chalk used.
Some people find this uncomfortable or may be allergic to it,
and there has been speculation about links
between chalk dust and respiratory problems.
The dust also precludes the use of chalk in areas shared
with dust-sensitive equipment such as computers.

ImageRasputin had often been called the "Holy Devil" or "Mad Monk",
although he was never a monk and made no secret of being married.
ImageContemporary opinions variously saw Rasputin
as a saintly mystic, visionary, healer, and prophet,
or as a debauched religious charlatan.
Historians can find both to be true,
but there is much uncertainty:
accounts of his life have often been based
on dubious memoirs, hearsay, and legend.

When he was around the age of eighteen,
he spent three months in the Verkhoturye Monastery,
possibly as penance for theft.
His experience there,
combined with a reported vision of the Mother of God on his return,
turned him toward the life of a religious mystic and wanderer.
He also evidently came into contact with the banned Christian sect
known as the khlysty (flagellants),
whose impassioned services ending in physical exhaustion
led to rumours that religious and sexual ecstasy
were combined in their rituals.
Suspicions, generally not accepted by historians,
that Rasputin was one of the Khlysts
— how else, it has been said,
to explain the notorious sexual life of this "holy man" —
threatened his reputation to the end of his life.

Rasputin soon became a controversial figure,
becoming involved in a paradigm of sharp political struggle
involving monarchist, anti-monarchist, revolutionary
and other political forces and interests.
He was accused by many eminent persons of various misdeeds,
ranging from an unrestricted sexual life (including raping a nun)
to undue political domination over the royal family.

On June 29, 1914,
he had either just received a telegram,
or was just exiting church,
when he was attacked by Khionia Guseva.
A former prostitute,
she had become a disciple of the monk Iliodor
— once a friend of Rasputin's,
who had become disgusted with his behavior
and his disrespectful talk about the royal family.
Iliodor appealed to women
who had been harmed by Rasputin
and formed a survivors' support group,
with the intention of discrediting or killing him.
Guseva thrust a knife into Rasputin's abdomen.
His entrails hung out of what seemed like a mortal wound.
After the attack, Guseva supposedly screamed,
"I have killed the antichrist!"
After intensive surgery Rasputin recovered.
It was said about his survival:
"the soul of this cursed muzhik was sewn on his body."
