AKRON, Ohio -- Sergio Garcia was in the trees left of the 18th fairway, looking through a gap in the branches to find a way out. Tim Horton Jersey . Ahead of him was Rory McIlroy, giving his 35-foot birdie putt a little body English before it fell for birdie. Garcia never lost command of the Bridgestone Invitational on Saturday, even after a storm delay of just over three hours. He started with a three-shot lead, stretched it to six shots at one point and closed with three good pars for a 3-under 67, three shots ahead of McIlroy. The Spaniard just lost a small measure of comfort. McIlroy, coming off a wire-to-wire win in the British Open, might be the last player anyone wants to see right behind. "Ive got to keep doing the same thing, make sure that I have good confidence in myself, that I play nicely, and then see what happens," Garcia said. "If Rory comes out, or whoever is behind us comes out, and get crazy like I did on Friday, then it is what it is. But hopefully, Ill be able to play well again and be all the way up there tomorrow." Garcia, who seized control with a career-best 61 on Friday, was at 14-under 196. McIlroy birdied his last two holes for the second straight day for a 66, and he got his wish -- a spot in the final group. Sunday is set up as a replay of The Open -- only with the roles reversed. McIlroy had a six-shot lead going into the final round at Hoylake. Garcia, playing in the group ahead, made a spirited run at McIlroy and got within two shots late in the round until he faltered and Boy Wonder pulled away. "Obviously, Rory is playing great, and we get along nicely as of right now," Garcia said. "I think were both excited about it. Were definitely going to play hard. It will be nice to see if I can do the same thing he did to me a couple of weeks ago. So well see." This time, its McIlroy who has to chase. "My goal today was to try and get in the final group," McIlroy said. "Sergio didnt quite have that luxury of seeing what I was doing on the last. It will be nice to play alongside him tomorrow and at least keep an eye on whats going on. Try to apply a bit of pressure when I can, but just really looking forward to getting in there and having another chance to win a tournament so soon after what happened at Hoylake." Rickie Fowler also was in the hunt at Hoylake, though he took himself out of the picture on the final hole. He went from the left trees to a plugged lie in the bunker, having to brace his right good against the side of a hill. He left it in the bunker and wound up with a double bogey for a 72, putting him 10 shots behind. This isnt a two-man race for a World Golf Championship title. Marc Leishman had a 68 and was five shots behind, while Adam Scott returned from the rain delay carrying only his long putter, the only weapon he needed to convert one last birdie for a 65 that at least left him with a slim chance. He was six shots behind, along with Keegan Bradley (68) and Justin Rose (70). The race wont feature defending champion Tiger Woods. The eight-time winner at Firestone made only one birdie on Saturday -- he failed to birdie a par 5 for the second straight day -- and shot 72. He was 15 shots behind. Garcia, who won the Qatar Masters this year, has been building toward moments like this. Two weeks after his runner-up finish to McIlroy at Hoylake, the Spaniard has performed so solidly at Firestone that he went 37 consecutive holes without a bogey. Along with four birdies in 11 holes to start his third round, he built a six-shot lead for a brief moment until missing the 14th green long and failing to convert a 5-foot par putt. Three pars at the end helped keep in front. He pulled his lay-up shot on the par-5 16th into deep rough, which felt even thicker after the rain delay. Garcia managed to judge it perfectly to clear the water. He hooked his tee shot on the 17th hole and hit 8-iron safely onto the green. The biggest challenge was the 18th, where he had to clear trees with a shot from the rough. He opened up the face of a 7-iron to play a big cut with such elevation, and it cleared the back bunker, leaving him 75 feet away. "Where I hit it, I couldnt really do much more than that and hope to make a good two-putt," he said. He lagged it down to 5 feet, and lightly pumped his fist when it fell. Every shot matters, especially with someone like McIlroy right behind him. "The one on 18 is the one that felt the best," Garcia said, "because it was probably the toughest to make par." Marty Mcsorley Jersey .J. Hardy finally got in on the fun Saturday, against a likely opponent. John Marino Jersey . He managed to save par, and went on to put together his best opening round of the year. Calcavecchia and Wes Short Jr.Melbourne, Australia (SportsNetwork.com) - Stanislas Wawrinka defeated an injured Rafael Nadal in Sundays mens final at the 2014 Australian Open. The eighth-seeded Swiss upset the world No. 1 star 6-3, 6-2, 3-6, 6-3 at Melbourne Parks Rod Laver Arena, where the Spaniard labored mightily with a back injury on Australia Day. Trailing a set and a break, Nadal actually left the court for a medical timeout in the second set, only to return to a chorus of boos. The Grand Slam title is the first of Wawrinkas career, in his 36th major event, as he becomes only the second-ever Swiss to corral a major singles championship, joining the great Roger Federer, who was blown out by Nadal in a semifinal here on Friday. "Rafa, Im really sorry for you, I hope your back is going to be fine, youre a really great guy, good friend and really amazing champion," Wawrinka said during the trophy presentation. "Last year I had a crazy match, I lost it. I was crying a lot after the match. But in one year a lot happened -- I still dont know if Im dreaming or not but well see tomorrow morning." In the fourth and final set on Sunday, Wawrinka broke Nadal for a 4-2 lead, only to see the gritty Spaniard break right back to hang in there. Wawrinka, however, promptly broke Nadal again and then served out the bout on his first match point by swatting one final forehand winner. Wawrinka blew through the first set and was ahead in the second when Nadal first showed signs of a back problems, as a retirement looked like a real possibility at the time, with Nadal striking sub-80-mph serves. The Lausanne native Wawrinka was aggravated during Nadals medical timeout, demanding that officials tell him why the Spaniard needed the break. Wawrinka then aggressively finished off the second set before Nadal fought back in the third. Nadal saved break points to hold in the opening game of the third set and then broke Wawrinka and held for a 3-0 lead. He won the third set as Wawrinka started piling up some errors, with the Swiss appearing unable to handle the pressure of being in his first Grand Slam final. But Wawrinka composed himself once again in the fourth and ultimately cruised to victory. Thhe Swiss slugger prevailed in 2 hours, 21 minutes by firing 19 aces among his 53 winners (53-19) and tallying three more service breaks (5-2) than Nadal on Day 14. Craig Adams Jersey. "He deserves to win the title," Nadal said of Wawrinka. "Im very happy for him, hes a great guy. "Im obviously disappointed and very sad about what happened. But thats life, thats sport. Ive really had a lot of great moments in my career. Thats a tough one. Just accept it and try to keep working hard for whats coming." Nadal has had a tough go of it with injuries at the Aussie Open. He missed last years edition during a seven-month layoff with knee injuries and illness, and his quarterfinal losses in 2010 and 2011 were affected by injuries. Wawrinka had been 0-12 lifetime against Nadal, including a round-of-32 Aussie Open loss in 2007, and had never taken a set off the Spanish great prior to Sunday. The 2009 champion Nadal was playing in his third career Aussie Open final (1-2) and second in three years. The 28-year-old Wawrinka appeared in his first career Grand Slam final. The 27-year-old Nadal played in his 19th career Grand Slam final overall (13-6), tying Ivan Lendl for second on the mens all-time list. Wawrinka will move up to a career-high No. 3 in the world on Monday after beating the top-two players in the world this week. He improved to 6-9 in his career finals overall, including 2-0 already in 2014, as he has yet to lose this year (10-0). The last player to beat the top-two seeds at a Grand Slam was Sergi Bruguera at the 1993 French Open. Nadal fell to 61-25 in his career finals, as he was trying to become the first man in the Open Era to win each Grand Slam twice. Wawrinka became the first player to beat both Nadal and Djokovic at a major event. The "Big Four" of Nadal, Djokovic, Andy Murray and Federer had won 34 of the previous 35 Slams. American legend and 14-time Grand Slam champion Pete Sampras was on the court for the trophy presentation Sunday. A win by Nadal would have tied him with Sampras on the mens all-time list. Wawrinka colleted $2.35 million for the biggest win of his career, while Nadal settled for $1.175 million. ' ' '

ToggleQUICK FACTS
Born: October 11, 1942
Age: 77 years
Born Place: Tokyo, Japan
Gender: Female
Education: Keio University
Rei Kawakubo (川久保 玲, Kawakubo Rei) (b. 1942) is a Japanese fashion designer based in Tokyo and Paris. She is the founder of Comme des Garçons and Dover Street Market. In recognition of the notable design contributions of Kawakubo, an exhibition of her designs entitled Rei Kawakubo/Commes des Garçons, Art of the In-Between opened on 5 May 2017 at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
Rei Kawakubo was born on 11 October 1942 in Tokyo. Her early life in Japan was summarized by Judith Thurman in a New Yorker article from 2005 stating: "She was the oldest of her parents' three children and their only daughter… Their father was an administrator at Keio University, a prestigious institution founded by the great Meiji educator and reformer Fukuzawa Yukichi, a champion of Western culture and, according to Kawakubo, of women's rights.
Although not formally trained as a fashion designer, Kawakubo did study fine arts and literature at Keio University. As reported by Thurman, "In 1960, Kawakubo enrolled in her father's university and took a degree in 'the history of aesthetics', a major that included the study of Asian and Western art." After graduation in 1964, Kawakubo worked in the advertising department at the textile company Asahi Kasei and she went on to work as a freelance stylist in 1967.[1] Two years later, she began to design and make her own clothes under the label Comme des Garçons, French for "like some boys", before incorporating the label in 1973.
Between the 1980s and 1990s Kawakubo was in a relationship with fellow 'Hiroshima Chic' fashion designer Yohji Yamamoto, but the relationship ended. Kawakubo later went on to marry Adrian Joffe, the current CEO of Comme des Garçons and Dover Street Market. She lives in Tokyo but often travels to Paris to visit her companies' head offices in the Place Vendôme. She occasionally makes visits to her fashion shows.
An article in Vogue magazine in April 2017 summarized her relationship with Joffe stating: "Joffe, South African by birth and ten years Kawakubo's junior, joined the company in 1987. He and Kawakubo married in 1992, at the Paris City Hall. It is a partnership with its own rhythms—while Joffe is based in Paris, his wife lives in Tokyo, in the upscale Aoyama neighborhood, walking distance to CDG's flagship. (Kawakubo is reportedly the first one in the office in the morning and the last to leave at night.) When you see them together, he seems to serve as her protector—not just translating for her, but also shielding her from inquiries deemed too prying."

These Cars Still Give Their Owners Nightmares
Even the most reliable vehicles have their bad years and share of problems. Especially after they've been on the road for hundreds of thousands of miles. Some cars, though, never get that far. That's because they seem cursed right from the start.
Reddit user u/IDNMAN21 asked r/Cars sub-Reddit users what their 'nightmare car' was. Not a car that was hated, but one that specifically gave the users nightmares. And some of the highest-voted answers were notable high-performance luxury cars.
Jaguar XJS V12
The single highest-voted answer was the Jaguar XJS V12. One user noted that even owners of Alfa Romeos didn't want to own the car.
To be fair, Autotrader and Driving.ca report the Jaguar XJS is one of the most-affordable V12-engine cars on the market. Jaguar made the XJS V12 from 1975-1996, CarBuzz reports, updating the engine over the years. However, while this grand-tourer is plentiful and cheap, it's a great example of how used luxury cars can be an expensive hassle.
Final Gear forum users report the early V12s suffered from dropping valve seats, which require an engine rebuild to repair. Early 90s V12s were also known to melt their catalytic converters, while the early V12s could fully catch fire. And, like the six-cylinder version sold alongside it, the Jaguar XJS V12 also had numerous wiring and electrical problems. In addition, Motorious reports the bodywork was particularly susceptible to rust and rot.
Little wonder the owner of the Jaguar XJS V12 Doug Demuro drove referred to it as a nightmare.
Although today's M-badged BMWs are genuinely quick, earlier models had some truly special features. And one of the highpoints was the 2005-2010 BMW M5, aka the BMW M5 E60. Its claim to fame is being the world's first production sedan with a V10.
The BMW M5 E60's 5.0-liter V10 made 500 hp and was inspired by BMW's Formula One engine, Road & Track reports. Remove the speed limiter, and it could 200 mph. And, uniquely for North America, you could also have it with a 6-speed manual.
Only 1,364 manual-equipped E60 M5s were built, Jalopnik reports; most had the 7-speed single-clutch sequential automatic (SMG). But even the manual cars can usually be had for $20,000-$30,000, according to Bring a Trailer. However, there's a reason the BMW M5 E60 is the 2nd-highest-voted response in the Reddit thread. In fact, several reasons.
R&T reports the V10 is notorious for throwing rod bearings, which causes, as BimmerForum users describe, 'catastrophic failure.' PistonHeads reports the SMG cars are known for premature clutch wear, sensor and pump failure and a host of other issues. The engine's throttle actuators can also break, and the rear differential is also prone to failure.
The BMW M5 E60 is an incredible sedan, but it'll likely burn through all the cash in your wallet.
2nd-gen Chevrolet Tahoe
Today, the Chevrolet Tahoe is a fairly-reliable 3rd-row SUV. And the latest model will likely bring more on-road comfort and interior space. However, the 2nd-gen, 2000-2006 Tahoe is a different story.
Although CarComplaints reports the first-year 3rd-gen 2007 Tahoe has more problems, ChevroletProblems reports the 2nd-gen Tahoe is the worst overall of the 4 generations. This gen had interior accessory glitches, climate control issues, and power steering failures. The 2004 model year is particularly troublesome: the #3 worst Tahoe problem on CarComplaints is the 2004 model constantly running low on coolant. In fact, the coolant may have actually precipitated some of the Tahoe's other issues.
CarComplaints has numerous reports of 2004 Tahoes with cracked heads, failing head gaskets, and engines burning oil. With this and the coolant loss, several class-action lawsuits were filed against GM, Reuters reports. Allegedly, the Dex-Cool coolant used by GM in the Chevy Tahoe and other vehicles was faulty and degraded the engine's internals. Although GM did not admit to the allegations, it did eventually settle and reimburse owners.
To be fair, it's not impossible to see high-mileage Chevy Tahoes from this era, CarGurus reports. However, as one Reddit user reports, that's mostly down to luck. Which is not what you want to hear when buying a used SUV.
Audi A4 and S4 B5
Rounding out the top-voted nightmare cars on Reddit is the Audi A4 and S4 B5. The B5 A4 was made from 1996-2001, with the higher-performance S4 offered in the US from 1999-2002.
The Audi S4 B5 has quite a following, Donut Media reports. It had a 2.7-liter twin-turbocharged V6 making 250 hp and 258 lb-ft, Super Street reports. The European-spec car, though, had a bit more power. Still, with standard all-wheel drive and a 6-speed manual, along with a reputation for easy tunability, there was a reason why the B5 S4 was so popular. However, that didn't make it bulletproof.
Super Street describes maintenance thusly: "just spend all your time and money on it, and you'll be fine." Audizine forum users report the B5 is known for turbos blowing out, cam tensioner seal failure, as well as issues with wheel bearings, ignition control modules, and various other engine seals.
The A4 B5 also has some issues, though it is a bit more reliable than the S4. The biggest headache, apart from random electrical gremlins, Audizine and VW Vortex forum users report, are the timing belt and ignition coil packs and control module. The turbocharged cars oil lines can also clog over time, although degraded hoses and wires are an issue most old used cars have.

Koshertown Supermarket Cafe is a dairy eat-in with quick lunch options, a parve bakery and a Shabbos take-out. The Kosher Cactus visited Koshertown Cafe in May of 2021. This review was written in June of 2021.
Where is Koshertown located?
Koshertown is located at 469 Albany Ave, at the corner of Empire Boulevard, in Crown Heights. The Cafe is in the back of Koshertown Supermarket, so it is the perfect place to make a quick errand stop for groceries after a lunch or brunch in the Cafe.
The Cafe is open from 7:30-5 Mon-Thursday, or 8:30-4PM on Sundays and Summer Fridays.
Koshertown is about a 10-minute walk from the Kingston Ave 3 train, or 12 minutes from Utica Ave 4 train.
Parking on Empire Boulevard and Albany Ave are sometimes hard to come by, but nearby Montgomery St usually has parking during the hours that the Cafe is open.
Koshertown Cafe was the two-time winner of the People's Choice Award for the Crown Heights Food Walk, both in 2018 and in 2017.
Do I need to dress up to visit Koshertown Cafe?
In a word, no. Koshertown Cafe is in the back of a supermarket. Even though the space is beautifully decorated, it is no fancy steakhouse. You'll most likely (depending on the hour) bump into post-gym coffe runners, carpool moms in a rush, or local business people looking for a quick lunch.
All the food at the Cafe is made fresh each day, but not made on demand. You can choose your bowl of salad from the fridge, and the staff will happily dress, toss and plate it for you. So wear whatever.
What is the service like at the Cafe?
All the food at the Cafe comes courtesy of @chefshosh, the chef extraordinaire who created dishes that are delicious and professional, while retaining that home-cooked feel.
You can easily see why this Cafe won a people's choice award- twice! If the food was presented just a tiny but fancier, it would be a steakhouse. Everything- everything– is delicious.
This Cafe works differently than most standard restaurants. There are basically three options for choosing food:
- Food is pre-plated in to-go containers, so you can make your selection, pay, and head right out. If you want to stay (which I encourage!), the staff can heat up or prep whatever you choose. The eat-in Cafe is strictly dairy.
- Take-out. Although this is mainly a pre-Shabbos option, there's a small variety of options during the week as well. PSA: get the Eggplant Tahini dip. It's so good, you could eat it with a spoon.
- Catering. You can have the cafe cater a Shabbos meal, with jumbo-sized portions of take-out, or you can cater an event, with either a dairy or a meat menu. Catering needs to be arranged in advance.
What kind of food does the Cafe serve?
Koshertown serves the standard cookies and cakes (you can find boxes to-go in the front of the supermarket), as well as all kinds of coffees. There's also an assortment of fresh salads that depends on the day, a soup or two available each day, different styles of fish dishes, various bourekas and knishes, and muffins. Get a muffin.
Koshertown does not have a fixed menu, because the food is made daily with the very freshest ingredients. Soups may vary seasonally, salad ingredients from yesterday's run may no longer be available today…
What is on the menu at Koshertown Cafe?
Although Koshertown Cafe does not have a fixed daily menu, they always have the same style of foods available. If you happen to see them though, these are my very favorite dishes:
Muffins. I adore muffins (did I mention that?) and the Muffins at Koshertown Cafe do not disappoint. There are various flavours available, but do yourself a favour and get a dairy Butter Corn Muffin. It's a sweet, crumbly, dense cup-full of deliciousness. These are also huge, so I always eat half, and save the rest for the next day. And yes, they stay fresh very well.
Nicoise Salad. I'm a big fan of salads that have proteins in them. Nicoise salad has a scoop of tuna, some mini potatoes, olives and green beans, served over an array of leafy greens.
Salmon Bowl. This is toasted vegetables and couscous layered over romaine lettuce, roasted sweet potatoes, a ranch dressing and a perfectly done teriyaki salmon to top it off.
Cobb Salad. Featuring the titular corn, fresh salmon, cherry tomatoes, purple onion and quartered hard-boiled egg. Everything about this salad screams 'fresh'.
All the to-go portions are so, so well made. I have yet to taste anything at all from the Koshertown Cafe that was poorly done.
Does Koshertown Cafe deliver?
You can order anything from Koshertown Cafe through their gmail account (there's a link to it on their instagram page). You email them requesting a form, and they send you an itemized list of every single deliverable item both in the Cafe and in the store. It's a little archaic, but it does work.
You can also order via JMenu, who do have a specific menu for immediate delivery. Be warned, though, that you may get a call about modifying your order due to availability. If you can, just visit in person.
Does Koshertown do Shabbos takeout?
Shabbos takeout is the primary business of the Koshertown Cafe.
Although they can cater an event for any night of the week, if you pop in on Fridays you'll find fresh kugels, roasted vegetables and a wide variety of fish and chicken. All of it is available to take-out.
We've tried almost everything, and I can say with certainty that the Potato Kugel from koshertown is the best potato kugel in New York City. Hands down.
Is the Cafe wheelchair accessible?
The Koshertown Cafe space has been recently renovated. It is big, with enormous windows along the street wall that let in natural light.
The entrance to the cafe is through the shop, and there is a convenient ramp that leads up into the Cafe.
The Cafe has a wheelchair accessible restroom in the back.
What is the vibe of Koshertown Cafe?
The cafe space sits (as mentioned) in the back of a supermarket.
Why don't more supermarkets do this? It is so convenient! Imagine not having to make a choice between stopping to grab pasta for supper, or meeting a friend for coffee? Now you just have to find parking once.
Also (I'm on a rant here, sorry), if I like your pastries to buy and take home, why wouldn't I like your pastries to eat with a friend… without having to do dishes? (ok, rant over.)
The Cafe itself has been recently done up, and the space is beautiful. There's incredible wait staff behind the counter, who will patiently answer your questions about allergies and help you make a purchase.
Is Koshertown Cafe kid-friendly?
So, um. Sadly, there are no high-chairs. There is a ton of space to get a stroller through.
Also, although the menu is not specifically kid-friendly, you can choose something (yogurt? Bamba? A challah roll?) from the front to give to your small child. There is, quite literally, a supermarket of possibilities.
For older kids, you can choose a Cheese Sandwich, and have the staff press it in the panini maker. I have yet to meet a kid that dislikes cheese paninis.
Are there vegetarian options at Koshertown Cafe?
All of the lunch options are vegetarian. Some of the sandwiches and salads are vegan.
Most of the salads are Whole30, and there are a few keto and paleo options also.
All the food is pre-packaged, so you'll be able to clearly see what ingredients are on the label, in case of allergy concerns.
What Hashgacha is the Cafe under?
Koshertown is under the Kosher supervision of CHK, the Vaad HaKashrus of Crown Heights. All dairy products are Chalav Yisroel. The meat products are Lubavitch shechita.
All the products sold at the Cafe are either Parve or dairy, and the Shabbos takeout is clearly marked as either Parve or meat-y.
Final Thoughts
Koshertown Cafe is not the kind of place that we usually review. The vast majority of customers are stopping in briefly to pick up, have ordered take out, or have wandered over while shopping to grab something to nibble on.
In pursuit of this article, I convinced (let's be honest, it wasn't hard) a friend to meet me for lunch and sit in the Cafe.
For my lunch of a salad, a coffee and a muffin, I paid $17.
And you know what? It was worth every bite.

Silicone soap molds are garnering massive praises from all parts of the world. That's why when it comes to the cold process, melt, and pour soap, there comes no better option than silicone soap molds.
Today, we will discuss three types of silicone soap molds accessible in the market nowadays. Let's see them one by one.
Silicone loaf molds
Silicone loaf molds come in smaller sizes 1–3 lbs. Many people are using it since it allows them to experiment without losing a lot of raw material. The vast majority of people feel good that they do not need to get lined. They are lightweight and pretty reasonable. When unmolded, the finish of the soap emerges pleasant and smooth.
On the other hand, silicone loaf molds have their flaws too. Firstly, they are not too sturdy, especially when you are looking at a skinny and tall mold — a less wide mold compared to its height. When the soap gets poured, the sides tend to bow outward. For this reason, some silicone loaf molds come with a metal basket that retains the mold from losing its shape.
Sometimes you can escape from covering a towel around the mold to force gel. Anyways, the best way is to place the soap either in the oven on low heat or place it on a heating pad.
Single cavity molds
They are available in the market in all sizes and shapes as well. Even more than that, they are inexpensive. Isn't it fun?
Well, you can change things up or make themed soaps by using single cavity molds. They are good, especially for special occasions, such as wedding favors, baby showers, bridal showers, etc. When you want to make embeds that you wish to place on top of the soap, they are quite convenient.
There is no worry about cutting them into bars as well. You only need to pull on the sides of it a little and plop it out. They come with a pleasant, smooth finish.
Single cavity silicone soap molds are available in a lot of places online and in the supermarket. Bear in mind that not all silicone molds are created equal. Some have low-quality fillers in them that affect the durability of the mold. You can conduct a pinch test to figure out if a mold has fillers.
DIY silicone soap molds
The best thing is that there is a possibility of creating your own soap molds. Are you wondering how it works?
Well, you use a moldable silicone putty that you squeeze like play-doh about the object when you have a sturdy object that you wish to turn into a mold. After that, you stand by it to harden. Later on, you pull the object out, and you get yourself a distinct soap mold.
We have seen the disadvantages and advantages of different silicone soap molds, along with other features. Depending on your need, you can pick out any of them for your use. Click here to see different silicone soap molds.

All About Sterling Silver
Have you seen a movie or a TV show set in the Victorian period, where people or royalty are dining, and they are using silver wares? And Most of the items they have in their castles are made from silver? It is because silver items are considered as a symbol of wealth and prosperity. There's a catch though, most of those items are not pure silver, those are mostly made from sterling silver.
Now, before you get around to thinking that sterling silver is not a real silver, sterling silver is a real silver. It is an alloyed form of silver. It is a mixture of a few metals: 92.5% silver, and the remaining 7.5% can be a combination of metals, mostly copper or zinc, and other metals. Furthermore, it is, however, stronger than pure silver, because silver is a soft metal, which is prone to dents and scratches, thereby adding other metals makes sterling silver harder and more durable compared to pure silver. That's why it is mostly used for jewelry, silverware, plates, platters, and other items.
Nowadays, sterling silver is mostly used for jewelry. Sterling silver is great for jewelry pieces, as it is lightweight and stronger than gold, it can also be worn daily. It can suit anyone, it is versatile, sophisticated, affordable and timeless. It is the whitest among the precious metals and harder than gold, but still malleable and more pliable, which makes it popular to jewelry makers and designers.
There are many gorgeous necklaces, bracelets, earrings, and rings pieces made from sterling silver to choose from. If you plan to collect sterling silver jewelry pieces, you should also know how to care for it.
Here are some care and cleaning tips:
- Sterling silver needs cleaning on a regular basis, use a simple polish with a soft microfiber cloth.
- Clean your sterling silver with a sterling silver jewelry cleaner, it's easy to find online or in stores.
- Humidity can cause the sterling silver to tarnish, that is why it is important to store it in a jewelry box or other enclosed container.
- Never wear sterling silver jewelry when you go swimming, especially in salt water, because salt can corrode your sterling silver.
- Also, apply your perfume or perhaps hairspray before putting on your sterling silver jewelry, as it can damage your favorite jewelry.
How to check for Authenticity
You can check the authenticity of your sterling silver by checking the stamp, usually, it's stamped with 925 or SS, however, stamping jewelry is not a legal requirement for most countries. You can also check by using a strong magnet, if the magnet strongly attracts and sticks to your jewelry then it's not sterling silver. It can be silver plated. However, those are not 100% accurate also, so it is better if you just buy your silver sterling jewelry at your trusted jewelry store.

The skin around the eyes is the thinnest on the body and therefore the first signs of ageing – from fine lines, and wrinkles, to sagging and puffiness – tend to appear in this area. Furthermore, as we age, there is a drop in the mid face exposing the eyelid-cheek junction where the tear trough lies,' explains Oculoplastic Surgeon and Aesthetic Doctor, Maryam Zamani.
This hollowing at the junction between my eye area and cheeks was exactly what was making me look like I'd been out partying every night, when in fact I was sleeping eight hours plus, and religiously applying eye cream. 'There is usually a genetic disposition to how the upper and lower eyelids change over time, but volume loss and the downward descent of the mid-face is inevitable with age as collagen and elastin break down and cause the skin to sag. No gender or ethnicity is exempt from this ageing process,' adds Zamani.
Zamani suggested tear trough filler as the best option to re-plump my sunken tear trough and I jumped at the chance to reverse my tired-looking eyes.
When it comes to the tear trough, 'temporary, dissolvable fillers are best for this delicate area as they are malleable and can be removed if need be,' says Zamani. Which is why Zamani chooses to use soft, gel-like textured hyaluronic acid dermal fillers to inject beneath the surface of the skin to plump, lift and smooth.
The Treatment
The procedure began with a topical numbing cream left on for approximately 10 minutes, which meant I barely felt a thing as Zamani went to work with her needle. Injecting only twice under each eye to reduce bruising, she then moved the filler into place with her fingers before it fully 'set'. 'To achieve the best results, it's important to only see an experienced medically trained injector and be sure to look at their before and afters, as its their understanding of the intricacies of the face and their artistry that will ultimately yield the best results,' recommends Zamani.During this first session Zamani used very little filler, as best practice is to 'under correct' to see how the filler settles. There can be swelling post-treatment that will further plump, while hyaluronic acid has the ability to hold up to a thousand times its weight in water, which will also add additional volume.
And as 'overfilling can lead to blue discolouration and a sausage-like appearance that is anything but youthful,' I was happy to go along with the less-is-more approach, even though I'm instinctively a more-is-more type of person.
The Results
Despite underfilling, the difference was instant, it looked as though I was wearing a corrective concealer. Not only had the hollow sunken appearance disappeared, but thanks to the plumper nature of the area, light reflected better too. Bye bye dark shadows.However, it's worth noting that if my dark shadows were in fact pigmentation, filler would not have been able to improve their appearance.
I experienced absolutely no bruising and no downtime was necessary, although Zamani recommended I sleep on my back for a few days, which was made easy thanks to my Nurse Jamie Beauty Bear Age Delay Pillow.
I returned two weeks later and only needed a top up under one eye, which further proved that being conservative the first-time round is super important. And while Zamani explained that the effects should last around 12 months – though she finds hyaluronic acid tends to last even longer in this area – I was elated that the amazing results lasted closer to two years before I needed a top up.

100 contributors lend expertise to first-ever The State of the World's Mangroves publication
Today the Global Mangrove Alliance released their inaugural report, The State of the World's Mangroves, a compilation of the most current information available on what we know about mangrove forests and what's being done to reverse the downward trends impacting the forests and the local communities who depend on them.
Due primarily to human-caused deforestation, some 4.3% of mangroves were lost globally in the two decades leading up to 2016, with much larger losses prior to that. Today there are 136,000km2of mangroves remaining world-wide—an area about the size of Costa Rica—and nearly 20% of these forests are found in Indonesia.
This publication represents a remarkable synthesis, 100 authors from around the world (over 40 locales) have come together, sharing cutting edge science and compelling stories. The narrative they tell, for the first time, is that we now have the knowledge to turn things around for these critical ecosystems. We know the problems, but we also know the solutions. The challenge is turning these solutions into actions, by swaying leaders at all levels of society to protect the mangroves still standing and restore what has been lost.
"We are at a nexus. Science has provided us with compelling numbers describing the immense value of mangroves to people –for carbon, climate adaptation, fish, timber, coastal protection, tourism, and more. The State of the World's Mangroves report lays a clear message for world leaders convening on climate and biodiversity. Mangroves are a great asset but if we fail to properly value and protect them, we'll lose more than any financial investment that's been made in mangroves to date. This is our last best chance to create positive, lasting change," said Mark Spalding, Lead Marine Scientist for The Nature Conservancy.
The State of the World's Mangroves draws on maps from Global Mangrove Watch, an online platform that provides access to a variety of datasets detailing mangrove values, threats and opportunities for conservation and restoration.
The report's highlights:
- Humans are responsible for over 60% of mangrove loss. Primary causes include conversion to farmland, agriculture and/ or urbanization
- Around 42% of all remaining mangroves exist in designated protected areas
341 threatened species depend on mangrove habitat - Some 4.1 million small-scale fishers depend on mangroves
- Mangroves prevent more than $65 billion in property damages from storms and reduce flood risk to some 15 million people every year
- Mangroves are the most efficient carbon capture and storage systems on the planet. They currently store carbon that's equivalent to over 21 billion tons of CO2
UN Secretary General's Special Envoy for the Ocean Ambassador Peter Thomson wrote the report's foreword warning how quickly mangroves could be lost beyond our ability to bring them back. "If their demise is a crime against nature, then surely it's also a crime against the best interests of humanity," Ambassador Thomson warned.
"In sharing the challenges confronting coastal communities, and working together for coastal resilience, the Global Mangrove Alliance will no doubt play an important role in both the UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration and UN Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development, both of which got underway this year," he added.
"Conserving and restoring mangroves at scale depends on collaboration, and innovative partnerships like this one are critical to meeting the global challenge. By directly linking the needs and the experiences of local and indigenous peoples with cutting-edge science, together we can help drive the most forward-thinking national and international policies," said Karen Douthwaite, Lead Specialist, Oceans for WWF.
"This publication has raised the voices of coastal communities, who often have the most to lose from mangrove loss but also have the most to contribute towards long term mangrove management and restoration. These communities have built up a wealth of knowledge of how to manage, protect, and restore mangroves. By working with communities, we can safeguard and restore the world's mangroves and improved the livelihoods of coastal people" said Leah Glass, Technical Advisor for Mangroves and Blue Carbon for Blue Ventures.
The Global Mangrove Alliance released the report in anticipation of critical convenings including the IUCN World Conservation Congress, Convention on Biological Diversity COP15, and the United Nations Climate Change Conference COP26. Alliance members are calling on local and national government leaders to accelerate their efforts to protect and restore mangroves and challenging the private sector to increase investment in keeping mangroves standing.

Here are the 2019 walk-offs for all 30 teams
Few things in baseball compare to the excitement of a walk-off, whether it be a game-ending homer or a mad dash home on a wild pitch.
There were 202 walk-off wins in 2019, with all 30 teams notching at least one walk-off victory. Here is a look at the walk-off wins for each team:
Blue Jays
Bo Bichette had an incredible start to his big league career after making his MLB debut on July 29, but the biggest highlight came on Sept. 13 when the 21-year-old shortstop hit a walk-off homer against the Yankees. That was one of six walk-off homers for Toronto this season, with Brandon Drury, Billy McKinney, Danny Jansen, Teoscar Hernández and Anthony Alford accounting for the others. Justin Smoak had Toronto's other two walk-off hits, both coming on singles through the left side.
The Orioles had just one walk-off win in 2019, but it was a thrilling one. Baltimore entered the ninth inning of its Aug. 11 game against the Astros with a 5-4 lead, but watched it slip away with a three-run ninth for Houston. After getting back one run, Rio Ruiz clubbed a walk-off two-run homer to lift the O's to an 8-7 victory over the eventual AL champions.
The Rays had 10 walk-off wins in 2019, tied for the most in the AL. That included two walk-off hits apiece from Ji-Man Choi (a homer and a single) and Willy Adames (both singles), as well as winning not once, but twice on a walk-off wild pitch.
Red Sox
The Red Sox had seven walk-off wins, but only one walk-off homer. That came off the bat of Christian Vázquez to snap a 5-5 tie in the bottom of the 10th inning of Boston's June 21 game against the Blue Jays. As for the other six walk-offs, five came on base hits, while the other was a walk-off walk drawn by Mookie Betts on June 12 against the Rangers.
The Yankees had six walk-off wins in 2019, the first four of which came on walk-off singles from Austin Romine, DJ LeMahieu, Gio Urshela and Gleyber Torres, respectively. The other two were walk-off homers, which came on back-to-back days -- LeMahieu on Aug. 31 and Mike Ford on Sept. 1, both against the Athletics.
Carlos Santana wasted no time making the most of his return to Cleveland. The slugger crushed a walk-off homer on April 5 as part of the Indians' first homestand of the season. Santana hit another walk-off homer on Aug. 12, this one against the Red Sox, to account for two of Cleveland's seven walk-off wins this season.
Ryan O'Hearn hit the Royals' only walk-off homer of the season in a Sept. 3 victory over the Tigers, while Whit Merrifield and Hunter Dozier had the club's other two walk-off hits (both singles). It was Brett Phillips, however, who delivered the most memorable walk-off, hitting a game-winning sacrifice fly in the season finale to send Ned Yost off with a victory in his final game at the helm.
Four of the Tigers' five walk-offs this season came courtesy of home runs, including a walk-off grand slam by John Hicks in the 12th inning of Detroit's Sept. 14 victory over the Orioles.
Despite hitting a Major League record 307 home runs this season, only one of the Twins' homers was of the walk-off variety. That came on Aug. 5, when Miguel Sanó hit a game-winning two-run shot against the Braves. Minnesota's other walk-off wins included a pair of walk-off singles by Max Kepler and a walk-off hit-by-pitch by Ronald Torreyes.
White Sox
José Abreu delivered one of the highlights of the White Sox season, clubbing a walk-off three-run homer to cap off a doubleheader sweep of the Tigers on July 3.
The Angels had four walk-off wins in 2019, with each coming in a different way. Jared Walsh had a walk-off single, Dustin Garneau notched a walk-off ground-rule double, Matt Thaiss clubbed a walk-off homer and Kaleb Cowart scored on a walk-off error.
Yuli Gurriel had walk-off hits on back-to-back days, starting with a walk-off homer on June 28 followed by a walk-off double on June 29, both against the Mariners. Those accounted for two of Houston's eight walk-off wins this season, with José Altuve, Carlos Correa and George Springer, among others, also getting in on the action.
The Athletics had 10 walk-off victories this season, tied with the Rays for the most in the AL. Matt Chapman led the way, crushing a pair of walk-off homers, including a three-run shot with Oakland trailing by two and down to its final out in a June 20 game against the Rays.
J.P. Crawford and Omar Narváez each accounted for a pair of walk-off hits for Seattle. Narváez had a game-winning single on May 13 against the A's and added a homer against the White Sox on Sept. 14. Crawford, meanwhile, had a walk-off single on July 28 against Detroit and a game-ending double on Sept. 27 vs. Oakland.
Texas capped off a season-opening series win against the Cubs with a thrilling walk-off victory in just the third game of the season. With the game tied at 10, Joey Gallo raced home from third on a wild pitch to give Texas the first of its nine walk-off wins in 2019.
Ronald Acuña Jr. and Brian McCann each had a pair of walk-off singles for the Braves in 2019, while Freddie Freeman accounted for the club's only walk-off homer of the season.
Harold Ramírez accounted for three of the Marlins' five walk-offs in 2019. The outfielder hit a game-ending sacrifice fly on July 26 against the D-backs, then clubbed walk-off homers on Aug. 1 and Aug. 29 against the Twins and Reds, respectively.
Pete Alonso had a pair of walk-offs in 2019, though neither came on a hit. The NL Rookie of the Year Award winner had a walk-off sacrifice fly on April 30, then worked a walk-off walk on Sept. 6. The signature moment of the season, however, came on Michael Conforto's walk-off single to cap a wild comeback against the Nationals.
Trea Turner lifted the Nationals to their first win of the season with a walk-off homer in a March 31 victory over the Mets. Turner racked up two more walk-offs -- a two-run homer on June 5 and a game-winning double on July 2 -- to account for three of Washington's seven walk-offs in 2019.
Bryce Harper provided one of the most thrilling regular-season wins in quite some time for the Phillies when he capped off a furious ninth-inning rally with a walk-off grand slam against the Cubs. The slugger sent a moonshot into the second deck in right field for one of Philadelphia's seven walk-off wins.
Christian Yelich had the first and last of Milwaukee's six walk-off hits in 2019. The superstar had a walk-off double on March 31 against the Cardinals and added another game-winning two-bagger on Sept. 7 against the Cubs. Rookie sensation Keston Hiura also clubbed a walk-off homer on July 27 against Cubs closer Craig Kimbrel.
Matt Carpenter provided two of the Cardinals' four walk-off hits in 2019, while Paul Goldschmidt hit the club's lone walk-off homer in a June 19 victory against the Marlins.
The Cubs hit four walk-off homers in 2019, three of which came in a five-day span in May. Kris Bryant hit a game-winning three-run shot on May 7 against the Marlins, Jason Heyward followed with a game-ending solo shot the very next day and Willson Contreras walked it off in the 15th inning of a May 11 victory against the Brewers.
Not only did Kevin Newman account for half of the Pirates' eight walk-offs, but each one came in a different manner. He started with a walk-off double on April 6 against the Reds, worked a walk-off walk on June 23 vs. the Padres and added a game-winning single on Aug. 16 against the Cubs before connecting for a walk-off two-run homer on Sept. 27.
Cincinnati had five walk-off hits last season, but it certainly saved the best for last. Pitcher Michael Lorenzen hit a pinch-hit walk-off double in a Sept. 8 victory over the D-backs. That came just three days after Phil Ervin hit the club's only 2019 walk-off homer in an 11-inning win against the Phillies.
Jarrod Dyson, who entered 2019 with only 14 career homers in 728 games, hit Arizona's only walk-off homer of the season. The speedy outfielder clubbed a walk-off two-run shot in an April 9 win against the Rangers. The D-backs' other seven walk-off wins all came on game-winning singles, including three by Tim Locastro.
Los Angeles led the Majors with 12 walk-off victories in 2019, two more than any other team. Eight players accounted for at least one walk-off for the Dodgers, including two apiece from Cody Bellinger, Alex Verdugo, Max Muncy and Will Smith.
Rookie outfielder Mike Yastrzemski provided one of the Giants' top highlights from 2019 when he connected for a walk-off homer in the 12th inning of San Francisco's July 21 victory against the Mets. Pablo Sandoval added a walk-off homer of his own just two days later, clubbing a 13th-inning shot against the Cubs.
Hunter Renfroe provided the signature moment of the Padres' 2019 season when he clubbed a walk-off grand slam in a May 5 victory against the rival Dodgers. With the Padres trailing 5-4 and down to their final out, Renfroe teed off on an 0-1 pitch from Dodgers closer Kenley Jansen to give San Diego the win.
Colorado had 10 walk-off wins in 2019, tied for the second most in the Majors. Half of those 10 victories came on walk-off homers, including two from Trevor Story and one apiece from Nolan Arenado, Charlie Blackmon and Ryan McMahon.

Guess what?
There was frost on the pumpkin this morning.
I'm bringing this one...
And the green one up on the deck today.
The dogs went out, did their things, and came back in where it was warm.
I don't blame them.
Because today was the first day the outdoor water froze, too.
I need to poke around in the shop tomorrow and find my
heated water bowls that I keep on the deck for the wild birds all winter.
Sister is venturing out several times a day, mostly when he gets tired
of being abused by Twinkle.
He sits at the door and meows when he is ready to come back in.
Last night he leapt off my lap to go lay on the couch when Twinkle joined us.
Twinkle looks as if she were going to the bathroom here, but she is not.
She was balancing where she landed on the edge of the couch, on her way to bothering Sister again.
It's the last hurrah for the mums, too!
Here I need to make a statement about posting.
I'm back out in the country and off cable, i.e., back
on a satellite operation... at least, I think they are satellite driven, but
am not sure. Notice how cagey I am being about the carrier? I have had a few outages... but they are usually resolved shortly... it's just that uploading pictures is SLOW. I usually get up and go do things in the house while they are loading. BUT... I am pretty patient, so I am going to stay with this service.
One good thing about the frost, my grass cutting days are ending. I ran into the young man
who cuts the big house (no, it has not sold) yard... and he told me they will skip this week, and check it next week to see if it needs to be cut again. I was there after church last night to turn the
furnace on, and noticed it is looking beautiful.
I will be so happy when it sells, rather than feeling sentimental about it,
I recall it as the place where Keith was so very sick, and I do not like
going over there unless I have to.
The young man who cuts the yard here was out this week, and realizes the mowing is ending... he is going to start cutting saplings from my fenceline, hallelujah! I told him I could not support him all winter, but there was plenty he could do here to keep him busy as I pay as I go. I will be glad to get
things cleared up.
Do you all realize Halloween is upon us, and Thanksgiving just around the corner?

A Kendall local has told the inquest into the disappearance of William Tyrrell, he's 100 per cent sure he saw the three-year-old being driven away "at speed" that morning.
Ron Chapman opened his front door at 10.45am on the 12 September 2014 because he thought he had heard the postman.
He says he saw an "old box-type four-wheel drive" being driven by a woman in her late 20s or early 30s and a boy in the back seat wearing a Spiderman suit.
"A young boy with his hands up against the window. He was standing, he was unrestrained, he wasn't crying," he said.
"I did utter a profanity under my breath about the woman being stupid and not having the kid restrained.
"She was driving with speed, I couldn't estimate how fast, and almost lost control as she came around the corner at a wide angle."
He told the inquest he saw another iridescent blue car being driven by a man about 50m behind.
"It was virtually on two wheels on the grass as he came around the corner on the wrong side," he said.
Mr Chapman lives a couple of streets away from Benaroon Drive where William was last seen.
He says he heard the reports about his disappearance on the news that night.
"I recognised the boy's face and features," he said.
"I'm 100 per cent sure it was William in the back of the car."
"No doubt at all?" he was asked.
"No doubt," he replied.
Mr Chapman told the court after waiting several weeks for a police officer to knock on his door he went to them with what he had seen.
The inquest continues.

Born out of uncertainty are the thoughts of which we fear most. Something Indie/Pop singer-songwriter Elizabeth Royall knows all too well with the release of her debut single "Leave Me."
A song about struggling with the fear of a relationship coming to an end, "Leave Me," reminds us to trust in the process. We can never be 100 per cent certain whether or not someone is going to walk out on us, but we can choose to find solace in that no matter what happens, everything will be okay. "When I first started writing "Leave Me," it was about the distrust I had in people trying to get close to me," says Elizabeth. "I was tired of opening my heart to people who were going to leave anyway. As I got to writing the second verse, I realized something: I had gone through this before. I had been alone before."
During this period of solidarity, Elizabeth learned the joys of being on her own. It was a time of self-reflection, and it shaped her into a stronger and wiser woman than ever before.
It is important to remember that people will always come into our lives, be it for a reason, a season, or a lifetime, leaving footprints on our hearts. Some will use us, some will love us, and some will teach us. It is up to you whether or not you dwell on the fear of abandonment or decide to treat every person as a branch on the tree of life, which with every fall of a leaf, is a lesson learned that will help you become one with yourself.
May every fraction of a smile, ounce of laughter, and tear shed leave a mark on the storybook of life. Sometimes we have to let go and let the wind take us in the right direction. What others choose to do is beyond our control. Therefore, we must not dwell on the what-ifs, but rather live in the here and now.

After the gas and some water discharged from the water ring vacuum pump enter the gas-water separator, the water flows to the lower part of the separator, and the gas is separated and discharged through the exhaust pipe of the separator.
For water ring compressor, separator is necessary equipment. Its main function is to separate the gas discharged from the exhaust pipe of the pump from the water, and make the separated gas flow to the equipment requiring gas pressure. In addition, some air-water separators also supply cooling water to the pump.
For the water ring vacuum pump, the gas-water separator may not be used. However, if the liquid ring used in the vacuum pump is to be recycled for recycling (for example, in order to avoid waste, there is a recycling value or harmful, toxic liquid ring), or in the case of no running water, that is, when the water source of the make-up water in the pump is cut off, the gas-water separator must be installed to supply water to the vacuum pump.
In addition, the separator can also eliminate the noise generated when the water ring vacuum pump is running, so it is also called the isolator.
The difference between the equipment for vacuum pump and that for compressor only lies in the difference between the gas-water separator
(1) The pressure of the former is equal to atmospheric pressure (the exhaust pipe is directly connected to the atmosphere), and the top of the separator is flat, which makes the manufacturing process simple; the pressure in the latter is equal to a certain required exhaust pressure, and the top of the separator is spherical, so as to increase the strength of bearing the gas pressure.
(2) The overflow system is different. The overflow system of air-water separator for vacuum pump is a common drain pipe. When the water level of the separator exceeds the level line of the overflow pipe, the water will be discharged through the drain pipe to maintain the fixed water level in the device. The overflow system of the air-water separator for compressor is a float regulating valve. The float is hollow inside the float. When the water in the device overflows the float, the float floats upward with a special screw as the shaft The core is rotated with the rocker connected with the bolt. The right end of the rocker is connected with one end of the stationary screw, while the other end of the stationary screw is embedded in a groove of the sleeve. When the rocker rotates downward, the stationary screw drives the sleeve to rotate on the outer circle of the overflow switch. At this time, the hole on the sleeve is gradually connected with the hole on the overflow switch, so the water flows out of the pipe along the overflow pipe through the hole.
Then the water level gradually drops, and the float also drops, driving the rocker to move in the opposite direction, and the hole on the sleeve is gradually staggered with the hole on the overflow switch until the water level drops below the float level. When the float is in the horizontal position, the above two holes are completely staggered and isolated from each other, and the water in the separator stops overflowing outwards. From the above working principle, it can be seen that even if the water level in the separator is lower than the horizontal line of the overflow pipe, the gas can not flow out of the separator through the overflow system (and the overflow pipe of the gas water separator for vacuum pump can let the gas pass through the discharge), so that the pressure and gas volume of the gas will not be lost, which is exactly what the compressor requires during operation.
Generally, there are four types of working system of air-water separator of water ring vacuum pump:
(1) The working liquid is directly discharged from the gas water separator. This is a widely used form. This form is often used when the make-up water is tap water and the gas is air. Sometimes, in order to observe the water level before starting the pump through the liquid level gauge, it is also commonly used to connect the pump and separator.
(2) The pressure difference between the separator and the suction pipe of the pump is used to make the working fluid be used in closed circulation. Note that at this time, the working fluid from the separator shall enter the pump from the suction pipe of the pump, and it is impossible to enter the pump through the pipe. In order to reduce the working fluid temperature, a cooler shall be set in the pipeline.
(3) The working fluid is closed and recycled by means of pump pressurization. As the working fluid enters from the suction pipe of the water ring vacuum pump, the performance will be reduced, so the pump can be used to pressurize, so that the working fluid enters the water ring vacuum pump directly from the pump body or the side cover.
(4) In order to recover the gas dissolved in the working liquid as much as possible, a low-pressure separator can be set beside the separator. After the gas-liquid separation, the working liquid enters the low-pressure separator. Because of the low air pressure, the gas dissolved in the working liquid is released, and then enters the water ring vacuum pump from the suction pipe. This form can be used when acetylene gas is compressed.
The gas-water separator is equipped with a tap water supply pipe for supplying water to the separator and a ball valve. The water supply pipe of the stuffing box is also connected with the water pipe.
The intake pipe in front of the vacuum pump is equipped with a gate valve to adjust the air volume or vacuum degree. In order to prevent the water in the pump from flowing to the intake pipe under the pressure of the exhaust pipe during shutdown, a check valve can be installed.
When the compressor is used, in order to adjust the pressure of the gas in the exhaust pipe, a gate valve can be installed on the exhaust pipe of the gas water separator.
If possible, kindly suggest please your working industry/process, working pressure, working medium, etc. Given detailed request helps to gain better-matched customized solution. Thanks for your patience.
your request will be responsed within 3 hours, kindly pay attention to your email please.

Value of generic medicines: an health economics study
Journal of Pharmaceutical Policy and Practice volume 8, Article number: P15 (2015)
Generic medicines provide an opportunity to obtain similar treatments at lower costs for patients and payers, while liberating budgets for financing new innovative medicines. The debate on generic medicines has been centered on affordability and cost-savings so far. Positive health impact of generic medicines has, however, been scarcely discussed. The aim of the study is to examine the value of generic medicines in a more comprehensive way, particularly including the patient-related value. This involves generic medicines' health impact in terms of not only medication adherence and compliance, but also in terms of health outcomes measured by primary endpoints or by more comprehensive health benefit measures as well as public health aspects.
The analysis is based primarily on a structured literature review in relevant literature databases with focus on medical and economic journals / references (e.g. Pubmed or Econlit). Additionally, an internet research is conducted to identify scientific reports and papers from influential stakeholders and institutions. For the research of literature regarding the clinical benefit, the focus is on relevant guidelines and recommendations which are usually based on an evidence-based literature review and thus reliably representing the current state of evidence. This structured review is conducted for three selected drug classes: antihypertensives, adjuvant endocrine therapy for breast cancer, and an- tidepressants.
The study is still ongoing and will be finished by the end of summer 2015. To this date, the following results can be shared: For the antihypertensives and adjuvant endocrine therapies to treat breast cancer, there is comprehensive evidence on the clinical benefit showing that patients benefit from drug treatment. Utilization of hypertension drugs and endocrine therapies in the last decades increased in the majority of the European countries. At the same time, hypertension-related mortality has decreased significantly in the EU countries (in Germany, for example, by about 50 % between 1998 and 2010). Breast cancer-related mortality decreased in European countries, in many of which by about a quarter up to a third. One of the designated causes for the observed mortality decline in both indications is better medicinal treatment options, though other factors such as guideline implementation also contributed. In a next step we will analyze the role of patient access to generic medicines as being the precondition for achieving both cost savings and health benefits.
The conclusions are still pending. The study is ongoing but will be finished by end of summer 2015.
The study was funded by the European Generic Medicines Association (EGA).
