Since the silver will be protected from tarnish from some time, it is well worth applying this polish thoroughly to maintain maximum shine. An occasional rub-over with a cloth dipped with the same polish will prolong its life. When it is applied, ensure that the polish cover every part of the article so that the entire surface is protected.
Another effective way to prevent tarnish is the use of lacquer as a physical barrier against the air, Unless you have done it before, you should leave the job of lacquering to the professional. However, lacquering has some disadvantages. It may spoil the appearances of the metal. If a scratch appears on the lacquer, the underlying metal surface tarnishes quickly. Stripping off the lacquer then can be a tedious job.
Silverware is generally acknowledged as an asset that appreciates in value all the time. Therefore, it does make sense to spend some time caring and maintaining it well. It is indeed a good investment.
Developed countries in the West export a large quantity of medicine to developing and third world countries today. It is estimated that more than $4 billion worth of modern medicines are imported annually by the latter. In these countries, there is not only a shortage of medicines, but also a scarcity of doctors and pharmacists. Now that western medicines are easily available in developing countries, an unexpected problem arises. These medicines can frequently be obtained by anyone without prescription from the doctors. There are drug stores selling these medicines at street corners in the cities or villages. There is generally a lack of hospitals and clinics. The ratio of doctors and pharmacists to the population in developing countries can be as low as 1 to 100 000. One can easily imagine the scenario in these developing countries. When someone falls sick, he or she is likely to go to the drug store or any medicine shop for help. These drug dealers take on the role of doctors or pharmacists by prescribing medicine without examining the sick carefully. What they prescribe is solely based on the strength of the instructions found on the labels of medicine bottles and packets.
Though English is the official language of the United States of America, it differs in some respects from the English spoken in England. Sometimes this difference has been exaggerated by those who wished to emphasize the difference – cultural, social and political – between Britain and the United States. The British, in particular, seem to enjoy thinking that British English is superior. The British can rightly claim that it was the British Empire that was responsible for the spread of English in the first place. The Americans, however, claim that it was the economic and political power of the United States that has helped maintain its importance in the world as an international language.
