Positive influences are socialization however this can be a double edged sword. Although I did hear a crazy study where people who watched Sesame Street when they were preschoolers had higher grades, were reading more books, placed more value on achievement and were more creative.

Studies in both children and adults have found an association between the number of hours of television watched and obesity. A study found that watching television decreases the metabolic rate in children to below that found in children who do not watch obsessive tv.

I think it soley depends on what you let your kids watch. There are plenty of educational channels and programs that kids can benefit from but can be negatively effective if all they watch is South Park and violent shows all day. Monitoring your childrens television is the best way to positively influence their young little minds.

A good/safe way to clean gold and diamonds is to soak them in warm or hot water with ammonia added. Soak for 10-15 minutes and then scrub with an old toothbrush. You can search all sorts of home solutions to soak certain jewels in to clean.

I take mine back to the place I bought it and have them clean it for free. Some jewelry shops don't clean them for you but a lot of recent places have extensive cleaners and they will clean it professionally for you for free.

The ole green test works too - If your skin turns green after wearing it its fake or if you want to test the green test faster, pour nitric acid on the piece and if the liquid turns green then it? a faker.

If it doesn't have a karat stamp on it (14K, 24K, etc.) then you know its fake and if the stamp is less then 10K then it is not genuine gold.
