Coming Soon… Math Comic Strips Flagship Item: “The Innovative Dr. Knowledge”

Thursday, October 29th, 2009

Our web site of math comic strips was developed for one primary reason…to offer a way to help teach math to our nation’s children. In this fast-paced world of television, video games and other distractions, we knew that this would prove to be a formidable challenge. Math is complicated and boring to too many children, and well, too much like “work”. We realized that we would need a way to make learning math exciting and fun.

The format of a comic book is ideal for a number of reasons. To begin, comics have stood the test of time. Long before there was a 24 hour cartoon network there was the humble comic. Children would be huddled under their blankets late at night, comic book and flashlight in hand. Comics are a very visual learning tool, portable, requiring no attachments or electricity, or strange as it may sound, even an internet connection.

Mothers Jewelry - A Representation Of A Mother

Thursday, October 29th, 2009

Mothers jewelry usually consists of the birthstones relating to the mother’s children. It can also contain stones that represent the mother and father as well. Birthstones signify the month in which the family member was born.

Jewelry that is linked to twelve months or signs of the zodiac goes all the way back to the Bible. The High Priest in the temple often wore a garment adorned with the twelve stones that represented the twelve tribes of Israel.

The first jewelry to symbolize motherhood was a piece made up of two thin wedding bands. Between the bands were two birthstones relating to the mother’s two son’s birthdays. This type of jewelry was very popular in the 1960’s and it is tradition that the stones run from left to right from oldest to the youngest child.

Birthstones are said to have powers specific to the stone and the person wearing them is empowered by the stone. An example would be that March’s birthstone is aquamarine. This stone is said to attract affection and friends. A mother wearing aquamarine in honor of her child should be well liked and have many friends. The legend also states that as long as the mother wears her children’s’ birthstones, they will be protected.

Pellets made of metal are not advertised on any Airsoft site, but they can still be purchased from specialists. It is also possible for someone to manufacture their own metal pellets.
