A virtual playground created by Nat Geo Kids that was intended for children ages 4-12. The site allows players to create their own animal avatar, wander around the vast world of Jamaa, trade, decorate their own den/house, attend parties, hang out with friends, and more. Being almost 10 years old, the site has developed over the years from its original beta period. Some people say that they liked the so-called "beta days" better, while others prefer the more modern Jamaa. Regardless there are over 10,000,000 players to this day.

Get the Animal Jam mug.An antimacassar is a small cloth placed over the backs or arms of chairs, or sofas. Historically, the Edwardian male penchant for oiling one's coiffure continued into Victorian times; necessitating the invention of washable decorative fabric blotters. They are still used in luxury rail lines and immaculate Japanese taxis.
The name is derived from the Indian unguent for the hair commonly used in the early 19th century, macassar oil— the poet Byron called it, "thine incomparable oil, Macassar."
They first came to have elaborate patterns, often in matching sets for the various items of parlour furniture; they were either made at home using a variety of techniques such as crochet or tatting, or purchased from drapers.

The original antimacassar was often made of white crochet-work, stiffened and uncomfortable, but in the third quarter of the 19th century it became simpler and was made of soft coloured stuffs, usually worked with a simple pattern in tinted wools or silk.
