The Difference Between Silver And Sterling Silver Jewelry
Total Articles: 10
Silver And Sterling Silver Jewelry
When you go shopping for silver jewelry, you might think that silver and sterling silver are one and the same material. However, one needs to know that there is a difference between the two. Sterling silver is an alloy of silver with other metals. The fine silver jewelry is usually denoted by the percentage of pure silver that it contains. When you buy jewelry of sterling silver, it is usually comprised of 92% of silver and the rest is of other metals. The jewelry made of pure silver will consist of 99% or more of pure silver metal. Usually, the high content of pure silver in jewelry items make them malleable and cannot be used for tough or durable designs. Pure silver has properties that do not allow strong and resistant items to be designed out of it.
What Is Sterling Silver
Metal experts often combine other metals like iron, steel or copper in place of silver or along with it but these other metals will make up only eight percent or less of the entire alloy. That allows the silver items to retain their shape and be more resistant to outside pressure. If one adds on other metals to silver in order to stabilize the shape, that is akin to creating sterling silver jewelry. Sterling silver is used in making utensils such as coffee sets, spoons, knives, forks and others besides jewelry items.
How To Recognize Sterling Silver
Sterling silver is used to add strength and durability to silver items but they are prone to lack in luster over time. In case of pure silver items, there is no tarnish of the surface over time. If you have alloy metal mixed then only the tarnish is more apparent. You need to rub your finger tightly over a small area of a silver item in order to know if it is made of sterling silver or pure silver. When it is sterling silver, you will find that dull smudges are left on the surface. You need to keep them shiny by regularly using a soft cloth to clean and polish their surfaces.
Pure Silver And Its Distinct Properties
Pure silver is known to be a lustrous and ductile metal and hence, it finds uses in creating fine jewelry and other delicate items. Even though this metal remains stable to oxygen and water, it does react to sulfur compounds and that can lead to sulfide formation on its surface. That results in a black layer forming on such items. As a summary, here are the reasons to differentiate between silver jewelry and sterling silver jewelry:
• Silver items will have more worth than sterling silver items
• If you wish to buy fashion jewelry you can opt for sterling silver items
• Pure silver items do not tarnish easily as sterling silver items do
It is important to know the difference between such jewelry in order to understand their worth and the way such items need to be care for.

Infosys chooses an outsider pro to lead it through transition.
Seema Sindhu | July 7, 2014
Infosys Technologies, a bellwether firm for India's infotech sector that is making waves across the globe, has defied the traditions of the domestic sector at the best of times. So, as it goes through a transition, it has continued to set what could be new trends.
On June 12, its executive chairman NR Narayana Murthy decided to step aside, and the company named Vishal Sikka as its CEO. What was significant is that the baton was passed on to an outsider professional for the first time since the company's inception in 1981.
A group of IITians – Narayana Murthy, Nandan Nilekani, NS Raghavan, S Gopalkrishnan, SD Shibulal, K Dinesh and Ashok Arora – who founded the company have taken turns in various roles in running it, but in the face of mounting challenges decided to let the former SAP chief technology officer do the job.
Also read: Sikka at helm, it's time to hit the Refresh key at Infy
During Narayana Murthy's second term his son Rohan Murthy was appointed his executive assistant, triggering speculation over his future role. At most other Indian firms, Rohan's further elevation might have been taken for granted, but at Infosys, he will be moving out now that his father is only a non-executive chairman.
Analysts believe this could be a fresh start for Infosys.
Sanchit Vir Gogia, chief analyst and CEO, Greyhound Research, says, "I believe India Inc is moving up the ladder to add value to their business. A business needs a team of leaders; it cannot be run by one person. The leader needs to be professionally sound to lead the company. I see the baton moving from family to professionals with a business sense."
Harish Bijoor, brand expert and CEO, Harish Bijoor Consults Inc., concurs, "This surely is the trend. Founders and owners reach a glass ceiling all their own. This glass ceiling occurs at different points of time. In the case of Infy it has taken 33 years. This should have happened earlier."
Although there have been instances of professional CEOs in family-run enterprises, for example at Dabur, Thermax, Jindal Steel and Power, Wipro and some of the Tata Group firms, "Vishal's appointment is a learning that various other companies will implement in the coming years. Innovation is the key that every company needs to remember. It should be the core competency of any company," experts believe.
While some look at it from the perspective of an insider-outsider debate, others say the appointment should be seen purely in business sense.
Ganesh Natarajan, vice chairman and CEO, Zensar Technologies, says, "India Inc is run by an assortment of CEOs – some are from families and many are independent professionals. I do not think the second- or third-generation family CEOs are in any way inferior to professionals and every board and shareholder group should look at the CEO appointment on individual merit."
As for Sikka, there is unanimity in industry that he is a true innovator and thought leader, and that his contributions at SAP have been extraordinary. Experts feel if Sikka can deliver and give a new vision to Infosys, many family-run firms too may consider bringing in professionals at the top.
"I believe it is only a matter of time that these companies consider getting a professional rather than passing on the baton to the next family member," says Gogia.

I'm looking for prints of the film 'He' by Tom Palazzolo. I am working
with Tom and Chicago Filmmakers to have it preserved. Tom's own print
and a print held by Canyon are not identical, and the A&B rolls have
been pillaged for shots that appear in at least one later film. The
A&B rolls are also damaged. So I'm trying to find at least two prints
that are alike, or very close, to help determine whether there is/was
ever a definitive version of the film and if so, what that might have
looked like.
If you have a print of this film, or know of someone who does, and
would be willing to loan it to us for this purpose, please contact me

Stimulus moving nation's economy
Thu., Oct. 29, 2009
But forecasters expect GDP number won't be enough to spur new hiring
WASHINGTON – The government is expected to report today that the U.S. economy resumed growing in the third quarter, which would mark an end to the worst economic contraction since World War II.
Even though some economists say the report should dispel any doubts that the downturn is over, it may be cold comfort to workers and businesses.
Forecasters say third-quarter growth was likely 3 percent to 3.5 percent at an annual rate, driven largely by the federal stimulus. Although solid, that is not the kind of breakthrough turnaround needed to reverse the decline in gross domestic product last fall and winter. GDP declined at a 5.4 percent rate in the fourth quarter and 6.4 percent in the first quarter and has fallen for four consecutive quarters.
If the new GDP number falls in the expected growth range, it will not be big enough to spur significant new hiring, experts said. And forecasters generally think the fourth quarter and much of next year will see more anemic growth rates.
Not until the middle of next year, at the earliest, is the economy expected to gather enough momentum to put a meaningful dent in the nation's high unemployment rate.
Adding to skepticism about what the growth uptick will mean was Wednesday's report showing new-home sales dropped in September. The report prompted Goldman Sachs to downgrade its expectations for third-quarter GDP growth to 2.7 percent, from 3 percent.
A revival in the home-building industry was seen as positive for the economy in the third quarter. The housing market has been boosted by the government's $8,000 tax credit for first-time homebuyers, a program that is set to expire at the end of November.

When politicians go on about "investments in education" keep in mind that education spending has grown rapidly and yet due to demographic trends resulting from immigration the money spent on education is not improving the average educational level of the American public.
Washington, D.C. American adults can read a newspaper or magazine about as well as they could a decade ago, but have made significant strides in performing literacy tasks that involve computation, according to the first national study of adult literacy since 1992.
The National Assessment of Adult Literacy (NAAL), released today by the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES), found little change between 1992 and 2003 in adults' ability to read and understand sentences and paragraphs or to understand documents such as job applications.
Most of the educational gains made in recent decades came before the 1990s. We've been spinning our wheels since then.
African Americans scored higher in 2003 than in 1992 in all three categories, increasing 16 points in quantitative, eight points in document and six points in prose literacy. Overall, adults have improved in document and quantitative literacy with a smaller percentage of adults in 2003 in the Below Basic category compared to 1992. Whites, African Americans and Asian/Pacific Islanders have improved in all three measures of literacy with a smaller percentage in 2003 in the Below Basic category compared to 1992.
Hispanic adults showed a decrease in scores for both prose and document literacy and a higher percentage in the Below Basic category. The report also showed that five percent of U.S. adults, about 11 million people, were termed "nonliterate" in English, meaning interviewers could not communicate with them or that they were unable to answer a minimum number of questions.
Immigration trends seem set to make America go backward in terms of educational attainment.
Other report highlights:
- White adults' scores were up nine points in quantitative, but were unchanged in prose and document literacy.
- Hispanic adults' scores declined in prose and document literacy 18 points and 14 points, respectively, but were unchanged in quantitative literacy.
- Asian/Pacific Islanders' scores increased 16 points in prose literacy, but were unchanged in document and quantitative literacy.
- Among those who spoke only Spanish before starting school, scores were down 17 points in prose and document literacy between 1992 and 2003.
To put its findings in perspective, NAAL also reported on U.S. population changes between 1992 and 2003. During the decade, the percentage of white adults decreased from 77 to 70 percent, while the percentage of Hispanic adults increased from eight to 12 percent. The percentage of Asian/Pacific Islander adults doubled (to 4 percent). The percentage of adults who spoke only English before starting school decreased from 86 to 81 percent.
In another example that the US business press is waking up to the Hispanic immigration problem Investors Business Daily notes that cheap immigrant labor is an obstacle in the way of a more educated populace.
Immigration: A new study shows no progress in promoting the ability to read English. Cheap labor has social costs, and this could well be one of them.
Put another way, adult basic literacy in America has been stuck at 86%, despite generally rising levels of formal education.
Note the point that generally rising levels of formal education are not lowering illiteracy. As Stephan and Abigail Thernstrom pointed out in their book No Excuses, equal levels of formal education mask huge differences in knowledge between the races.
" Blacks nearing the end of their high school education perform a little worse than white eighth-graders in both reading and U.S. history, and a lot worse in math and geography. In math and geography, indeed, they know no more than whites in the seventh grade. Hispanics do only a little better than African-Americans. In reading and U.S. history, their NAEP scores in their senior year of high school are a few points above those of whites in eighth grade. In math and geography, they are a few points lower."
The obvious and widely ignored cause of such differences is the difference in average IQ found between the races. The massive public lie which denies racial differences in intelligence makes most social commentary about education and immigration into an elaborate set of rationalizations which attempt to avoid the elephant in the room.
The Investors Business Daily coverage of the above report on literacy reminds me of the BusinessWeek coverage of a report claiming that when white baby boomers retire the average educational level in the US workfoce will decline due to the rising Hispanic fraction of the US workforce. It is starting to sink into the business press that the Hispanics are not going to provide technical staff for high tech American industries.
Thanks to John Bolton for the tip.

This makes the US look awfully backward, that we have 5% who can't even get any questions right on a literacy test, when other countries have only 1% in that category. Diversity of illiterates is our strength?
Employment rates are dozens of points lower for the low literacy categories, in comparison to the higher ones. In British Columbia, they found a 40 point difference between the highest and lowest literacy categories. the more common finding was more like two dozen points of difference in employment rates.
immigrating to this country should be like applying for college. take an aptitude test and show a history of personal achievements.
similar to college, it's my opinion, that race shouldn't even be asked. let the test scores do the discriminating.
But Jim, all those tests are discriminating. Different groups perform markedly different on them, indicating that there is some nefarious cultural bias present. Since it is self-evident that all people are the same, this is the only plausible explanation. Only an irrational racist would suggest otherwise. Stop being so xenophobic and try helping these immigrants learn!
And no, of course I will not expound on any of the italics!

When I was a rookie Ranger Naturalist back in 1959, I keep in mind leading my first group of people on a wilderness hike up 12,482 foot Specimen Mountain in Rocky Mountain National Park. One of the nurse anesthetists that I used to know after I was working in the operating room as a nurse many years in the past used to go together with buddies to the Grand Canyon for a float trip down the Colorado River. North Cascades National Park , for instance, has the highest concentration of glaciers in the lower 48 states, and Utah 's Capitol Reef, deep within the coronary heart of Utah's former bandit nation, is famend for its colourful layer cake of mountains.
You can, nevertheless, go as excessive as crater view on the saddle under the a lot larger peak at over 10,000 toes the place the hiker can achieve an excellent view of the interior volcano and the Never Summer Mountains throughout the Colorado River Valley. There is a lot to see within the US and I hope to have the ability to take one other Western journey to explore many more National Parks. Narrow slot canyons, high plateaus, rock cliffs and towers, big mesas, and a deep valley fill this park in southwestern Utah.
The Australian Bicentennial National Trail (BNT) is a 5,330-kilometer (three,311-mile) multi-use route by bush, wilderness and mountainous areas, from Cooktown in North Queensland to Healesville in Victoria. A putting subalpine flower that is frequent in Glacier National Park is Bear Grass (side picture). Looks actually great for hikers and I like the truth that you can get a map and choose your path to suit your climbing expertise.
The Guadalupe Mountains comprise the best peak in Texas and are the stays of a Permian reef that was uplifted millions of years ago. When I explained that we had turned up without any brochures or maps they kindly gave me a NSW Parks brochure for the area. Your data and photos should encourage more folks to go to this off the beaten track nationwide park.
Big Sur is the coastline of California simply north of Santa Barbara working north all the best way to Monterey, CA. Beginning near Hearst Castle, this stunning winding scenic ride alongside the Pacific Coast Highway will take a full tank of gas, however is properly definitely worth the trip. The Gulf Coast, which includes the states of Florida , Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, and Texas, has many unique attributes and influences that set it aside from the rest of the nation. You could make a optimistic affect on the preservation and interpretation of our excellent nationwide parks. Yes…that Agate House is a sight to behold whereas within the Petrified Forest National Park.

Reviewed: KOffice 2.2
Over the last 12 years KOffice has grown in scope and ambition pushing out both good and bad iterations and occasionally suffering from hyperbolic claims that it had no chance in hell of satisfying.
Version 2.2 of the suite, which comprises KWord, KPresent, KSpread, KPlato (project manager), Krita (image editor) and the prodigal Kexi (database), comes into a very changed world. Desktop applications now face serious competition from cloud-based offerings, Microsoft no longer seems indomitable, and mobile has become a vital platform. We put KOffice 2.2 through its paces - read on to find out more.
The KOffice interface opts for an Adobe-esque dock system rather than the Microsoft ribbon idea, and it works in a more sensible way than the multiple horizontal toolbars of its rivals.The docking system is vastly improved over the last version, with no more sections scrolling off the screen and far more consistency between applications.
Everything is quick to launch and snappy in use

LinuxAndUbuntu Review Of Ubuntu MATE 17.10
Ubuntu Mate 17.10 is a pretty stable and rock solid distribution which has got most things right. There is nothing unlikable about the distro. However, I feel it could have been a lot better if they had allowed 4 windows to be snapped on each corners and done something about the opaque top panel. The software included are very much standard and even though some of their names have been changed we all know what's under the hood. Overall Experience has been good. Having already tested Ubuntu with Gnome 3, I can say that Ubuntu Mate 17.10 feels a lot faster and quicker in terms of GUI response.
Compact carrier turns Nvidia Jetson TX2 into an SBC
Aetina's "ACE-N510" carrier for the Linux-powered Jetson TX1 and TX2 measures only 87 x 50mm, and offers HDMI, 2x USB 3.0, 2x CAN, and optional -20 to 70°C. When Aetina recently unveiled its Nano-ITX (120 x 120mm) ACE-N261 carrier for Nvidia's Jetson TX2 and earlier, pin-compatible Jetson TX1 COMs, it mentioned an upcoming ACE-N510 that was even smaller. Now we have the details on the little beastie, which like Connect Tech's Sprocket Jetson carrier, has a compact 87 x 50mm footprint that matches the Jetson modules it stacks on. The ACE-N510 is designed for smart cameras, robots, drones, industrial inspection, mobile medical, and deep learning.
OpenMandriva Is Dropping 32-Bit Support, OpenMandriva Lx 3.03 Is the Last One
Powered by the Linux 4.13.12 kernel, OpenMandriva Lx 3.03 is an enhancement to the previous OpenMandriva Lx 3 releases, adding major improvements to the boot process. The OS also uses the Mesa 17.2.3 graphics stack with S3TC support enabled, the X.Org Server 1.19.5 display server, and systemd 234 init system. On the user-visible side of changes, OpenMandriva Lx 3.03 ships with the KDE Plasma 5.10.5 desktop environment and KDE Frameworks 5.39.0 software stack, along with the latest Firefox Quantum web browser compiled with LLVM/Clang 5.0.0 and Calamares 3.1.8 as default graphical installer.

I recently visit dr. lopez and I have to say I was a little bit worried from the comments I've read in this website, but I was really happy with my consultation and waiting time.

Posted on November 19th, 2012
This doctor was referred to me by Coastal Community Hospital...Basically his office is like a walk-in clinic (chairs down the hall outside the door) Does no good to have an appointment, you still have to wait an hour to go back then another 30 minutes to see him. When I saw him for the first time he was more involved with getting his I-Pad to work and kept shushing me...His front office girl does not give messages and gives false info...I had a cancer scare and they sat on the results for 10 days while I worried...though it ended up not being cancer, I was made to wait and worry...He has a horrible bedside manner and all you can here is mariache music in the background...u also have to wait days and have numerous arguments when you need refills on meds. I am switching my home doctor ASAP...as they continue to disappoint me time and time again...I do not recommend this doctor to anyone and am going to turn in a complaint to my insurance plan.
Good Dr bad staff

Dr Lopez is so nice and a good Dr but his office and staff I have nothing much to say. I trust Dr Lopez but I dislike his unprofesional staff and the dirty waiting area.

Dr Lopez is Great just his staff and his dirty office. It looks so run down that it smells when you go in the office. The carper is comming off the sitting is worn down. The waiting area is so small that you have to deal sitting with people coughing on you. I wish he would consider the whole picture.
Waiting Time is Horrible!
Posted on September 10th, 2009
I have visited Dr. Lopez on a few occasions. Even though I had an appointment with him for these visits, I still had to wait an hour or more just to see him. Appointments are set without taking into consideration the individuals time. The staff (receptionist) is not courteous at all. They are rude, and very disrespectful. Visiting his office and setting appointments has been horrible experiences. He is a nice doctor, its disappointing that he does not consider his patients time and works with staff that are not friendly at all!Also, there are no follow up calls and trying to can explanation of results is difficult. He will not talk to the patient, according to his staff. If it wasnt for these, he would be a great doctor to visit and I would recommend him. However, its best you find another doctor who values your time and is respectful of appointments.

Obama Picks Army Gen. Shinseki To Head VA
Can Tran
Dec 7, 2008 in
United States President-elect Barack Obama has picked returned Army General Eric K. Shinseki to fill the post to spearhead the Department of Veterans Affairs.
United States Democratic President-elect Barack Obama has not wasted any time in filling in his posts before he transitions into the actual United States President on January 20, 2009. So far, Obama has asked Robert Gates to remain on as the US Secretary of Defense. He had approached Senator Hillary Clinton of New York, his final rival in the Democratic primary, to be the US Secretary of State. He had approached New Mexico Governor and former Democratic rival Bill Richardson to be the Secretary of Commerce. He has eyed Arizona Governor Janet Napolitano to be the Secretary of Homeland Security.
Now, Obama has picked a person to head the Department of Veterans Affairs. He had picked retired Army General Eric K. Shinseki to head the VA. Shinseki carries many years of military and war experience. He was the former Army Chief of Staff. Obama made the public announcement on the 67th anniversary of the Pearl Harbor attack.
When I
reflect on the sacrifices that have been made by our veterans and I think about how so many veterans around the country are struggling even more than those who have not served – higher unemployment rates, higher homeless rates, higher substance-abuse rates, medical care that is inadequate – it breaks my heard, and I think that General Shinseki is exactly the right person who is going to be able to make sure that we honor our troops when they come home," Obama explained in a taped interview.
Shinseki served as the Army Chief of Staff from 1999 until 2003. This is also a historical nomination as well. Shinseki is the first Asian-American in the history of the U.S. to be a four-star general along with leading the United States Army. Shinseki is an alumni of West Point, Duke University, the US Army Command and General Staff College, and the National War College.
He had served in the Vietnam War and the Bosnian War.
Awards include: two Purple Hearts, three Bronze stars, two Legions of Merit, a Coast Guard Distinguished Service Medal, an Air Force Distinguished Service Medal, two Army Distinguished Service Medals, a Navy Distinguished Service Medal, and two Defense Distinguished Service Medals.
In the recent years, Shinseki was most notable in clashing with the Bush administration's approach to the Iraq War. He has notably clashed with then-US Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld. Rumsfeld resigned from office in November of 2006 the day after the Congressional and Governor Elections took place.
So far, Obama has been praised for picking Shinseki. Retired Army General and former US Secretary of State Colin Powell said that Shinseki was a good choice. Overall, Obama is set on picking Shinseki to head the Department of Veterans Affair. However, the nomination needs to be confirmed by the US Senate first.

In particular, General Secretary Koutsoumbas stressed among other things:
"Poor working class and people's families drown every year, in different areas all over Greece, precisely because there are no flood protection works, there is no necessary infrastructure; as a result we constantly mourn victims, fellow people, houses and properties are destroyed that people had created working hard all their life, from day to night. Therefore, we must express our solidarity with the victims, but, above all, we must express our determination to organise the struggle on such issues in every workplace, in every neighbourhood."

KKE MEP Papadakis gives decisive response to EU Parliament's vulgar anticommunism
|KKE MEP Kostas Papadakis (standing).
A decisive answer to the vulgar anticommunism of the capital's political represnetatives at the EU Parliament was given by the MEP of the Communist Party of Greece Kostas Papadakis. Speaking at the Plenary of the European Parliament on Wednesday in Strasbourg, the KKE MEP said the following:
"We defend Socialism, which within a few years solved big problems that remain unsolved in Capitalism. Socialism abolished unemployment and exploitation. Socialism showed to the people what permanent stable labor with rights, free Health - Education for everyone, low cost housing, certainty for the future mean.
The exploitative system that you are defending means labour galleon, queues of unemployed people, permanent insecurity, auctions, people searching in the garbage.

Communist Party of Greece: Strongly condemns EU's sanctions against Venezuela
The Press Office of the Central Committee of the KKE issued a statement on the sanctions adopted by the European Union against Venezuela. The statement is as follows:
"The KKE denounces the unacceptable decision of the EU Foreign Ministers to impose economic sanctions on Venezuela. This decision is directed against the people of Venezuela and demonstrates once again the antipopular-reactionary character of the European Union, as well as the tactic of interfering in the internal affairs of other states, which has often taken a form of intervention, even with military means.

KKE: Tsipras government's "social dividend" consists crude and shameless propaganda
In an effort to disorient public opinion from the agenda of the upcoming new antipeople measures, Greek prime minister Alexis Tsipras made an unscheduled television appearance on Monday night to announce a €1.4bn "social dividend" to be paid next month to more than 3m Greeks who have been hit hardest by the country's seven-year recession and the antiworkers-antipeople policies implemented by the governments of ND, PASOK and SYRIZA. The handout would include €720m in one-off payments for low-income Greeks and €315m in rebates for earlier cuts in healthcare payments, Premier Tsipras said.
The Communist Party of Greece (KKE) issued a statement denouncing the Prime Minister's announcements as "crude and shameless propaganda". More specifically, the statement of the Press Office of the CC of the KKE writes:

From Warsaw with hate: Fascist and neo-Nazi groups marched in the streets of Poland's capital
Poland is the country where Communists are being persecuted for their activity and ideology by the bourgeois state's mechanisms, the Communist Party faces every kind of repression by the government (which demolishes Soviet monuments) and where fascists, racists and neo-Nazis march in the streets, spreading their poison of hate! This is capitalism and EU's Poland.
According to news agencies, an estimated ten thousand far-right nationalists marched in Poland's capital city of Warsaw on Saturday, dwarfing the official celebrations and casting a pall on the country's Independence Day commemoration.

The Rebirth of the Communist Party of Indonesia
The following essay deals with the resumption of the legal activity of the Communist Party of Indonesia after 50 years of prohibition. It is an adaptation and elaboration of Vladimir M. Soloveichik's presentation, published on the Leningrad Internet TV and YouTube on 27 June 2016, in Russian language.
The article offers interesting information about the heroic and tragic history of the once largest non-ruling Communist Party in the world and expresses the optimism that the new generations of indonesian communists will continue the path of the struggle, joining the marxist-leninist movement for the materialization of the communist ideal.
