Invention of the Rubber Band

Like everyone else I do enjoy a pleasant distraction from time to time......and today discovered (as part of my quest, of course), that on March 17, 1845, the fist rubber band was patented by Stephen Perry of London. Perry owned the rubber manufacturing company Messers Perry and Co., of London, England. The first rubber bands were made from vulcanized rubber. Interesting. But let us put it in context, that is, a few years after Samuel Slocum patents the stapler (1841) and a few years before Walter Hunt invents the safety pin in 1849. Does this mean anything? I doth not know...but I do knowth that neither stapler, rubber band nor safety pin should make it onto my list of new discoveries...

Hi!

[url=http://www.internetmosque.net ] Translations of the meaning of the Quran [/url]


"How do Muslims view death?"

Like Jews and Christians, Muslims believe that the present life is only a trial preparation for the next realm of existence. Basic articles of faith include: the Day of Judgment, resurrection, Heaven and Hell. When a Muslim dies, he or she is washed, usually by a family member, wrapped in a clean white cloth, and buried with a simple prayer preferably the same day. Muslims consider this one of the final services they can do for their relatives, and an opportunity to remember their own brief existence here on earth. The Prophet (SAW) taught that three things can continue to help a person even after death; charity which he had given, knowledge which he had taught and prayers on their behalf by a righteous child.
