An unusual gift idea? An original decor idea? The cinema clapper. The clapperboard is a symbolic object of cinema. It was already used in the silent movies, and its name originates from tap dancers. Even if today the professional claps have become digital, the black wooden clapper remains associated with the cinema and has become a beautiful object of decoration. The clap announces with its particular noise the start of the shooting. The tap is shown briefly in front of the camera at the start of each recording to identify the shots and to number the scene. These are benchmarks to facilitate the synchronization of sound and image during editing. This nice clapper is an original idea to decorate your dining room or your bedroom. You can put it on a piece of furniture or hang it on the wall. A fantastic idea to give to a movie buff or a teenager who loves science fiction or action movies. An essential accessory to animate an event on the theme of cinema or to make your own videos. It adds a fun touch to your shots. The clapperboard is in black wood. As with a real shoot, fill in the boxes with chalk with the name of the director, the title of the film, the camera used and the number of the scene. A fun and playful gift on the occasion of a birthday.

It is towards the end of the Middle Ages that traces of Christmas baubles can be found in French manuscripts in the department of Bas-Rhin in France, more exactly in Sélestat. This tradition spread to Germany where the trees were decorated with flowers, fruits and especially apples. Fir trees appeared on church forecourts in the Middle Ages and are a reminder of the tree of lost paradise. However, one of the trees that keeps its leaves or thorns is the fir tree. Church obliges, these trees are decorated with hosts, apples and round pastry. The first ornamental Christmas baubles hung in Christmas trees appeared in the 19th century around 1830 and were made by glass blowers and were called "Kugel".

History of the cup Long ago, before we had cups or even pots, people drank from clay calabashes or jars that they made themselves by hand using the local materials available at the time. No wonder it took them so long to invent a pottery vessel that could keep a liquid hot or cold without burning up! As to who actually invented the cup, it is not entirely clear! But it was in ancient times that pottery cups were used for drinking water and other beverages in Asia and Africa, as well as in Europe and North America. The oldest cups found in different parts of the world are clay vessels that were discovered in Egypt during excavations conducted between 1933 and 1938 by the archaeologist Amelia Biliotti. They date back to 4000 BC and have certain similarities with today's ceramic cups. In ancient times, drinking vessels were mainly used to store water, not to drink it, as most modern glasses are today! The cup used to be made of wood in the countryside, and of thick earthenware in the cabarets where it was often decorated with floral motifs.

What is a salt stone lamp? Have you heard of salt stone lamps (and candle holders)? A unique and comforting decoration to create a warm atmosphere in your home. The lamp is suitable as an accent light in a bedroom or living room. Its purpose is not to illuminate the room, but to give a feeling of well-being. They are thought to purify the air and, due to the emission of negative ions, they partially neutralise the action of electromagnetic radiation and help combat insomnia. The salt crystals emit negative ions, an effect that is increased by the heat generated by the lamp. These negative ions will then counteract the positive ions, naturally present in the atmosphere due to air pollution. The lamp will then have a cleansing effect. Although they are safe, there are few scientific studies showing that salt lamps have any real effects on health. However, users report that they have a real impact on their stress levels. Salt lamps are ideal for improving well-being. Their orange light is relaxing. In chromotherapy, the colour orange promotes reconnection between body and mind and soothes us.

History of the clock from its origins to the 16th century, The origins No mechanical clocks seem to exist before the fourteenth century, but several mentions in manuscript sources reveal some of the early history of the clock. The Latin word horologium, horologia, derived from the Greek [ὡρα, time and λέγειν, to say], has been used since Roman antiquity to refer to all time-indicating devices, but the use of this word for all time-measuring instruments hides from us the true nature of their mechanisms. The hydraulic clock A hydraulic clock is an ancient type of clock, which tells the time by allowing a liquid in a container to flow through a small hole. From the beginning, in ancient times, the liquid used was water, hence the name water clock. Later, mercury clocks could be found, especially in Arabic and Chinese writings, but this seems to be anecdotal. The first hydraulic clocks evolved from the simple clepsydra (see the France 2 television game show), to which a more or less sophisticated time indication was added (essentially a graduated scale); over the centuries, we have encountered different types of hydraulic clocks, monumental or not, with sophistications to animate skits, for example, or to strike a precise time.

Mechanical clock A mechanical clock is a time-measuring instrument that tells the time by an originally entirely mechanical action. It is based on the combination of three functions: a driving weight for the rotary movement, a regulator such as a balance wheel and a display (a graduated scale and hands). The mechanical clock is the successor to the various horologia. The Romans, and before them the Egyptians and Greeks, had already developed time-measuring instruments that demonstrated great astronomical knowledge. The invention of the mechanical clock can be placed around the 1300s and appeared in Western Europe at the end of the 13th century. Originally, it was a weight motor and foliot. A foliot is a vertical pendulum that controls the energy supplied to a wheel by a weight. The motion is then transmitted to gears that drive the movement of the hands. A weight suspended from a rope provides energy to the machine, while a system of rods and foliots periodically interrupts the fall of the weight. By placing the weights at each end of the foliot, the rhythm of the back and forth movements can be adjusted. The low precision of this mechanism, from 1 to 2 hours of deviation per 24 hours, renders the minute hand useless, and it will undergo a long evolution and an important diversification over the centuries.
