Russell Finex Sieve Qualifying Metal AM Powders
Automated AM powder sieve ensures the quality of 3D printing powders before and after the build process
As an additional quality-check measure, additive manufacturers screen incoming (or 'virgin') powders before use in production. Containers of powder such as titanium, aluminium, stainless steel, copper and other metals, plastics and ceramics must be check-screened using an industrial sieving system, removing contamination and oversize particles that would compromise final product quality. Due to concerns with material contamination and operator health and safety, a high-performance automated additive manufacturing powder sieve with minimal operator involvement is required.
Used additive powders can be reclaimed from 3D production systems, check-screened and reused. Due to the physical changes that can occur to the unused powder during the build process, hidden deteriorated and oversize particles would compromise the quality of the next build. Therefore, these 3D printing powders must be re-conditioned or re-qualified before reuse.
In a Russell Finex demonstration video, watch virgin titanium powder being qualified for use in additive manufacturing, using the Russell AMPro Sieve Station™. The powder is transported from the container into the additive manufacturing powder screening station. The unit is then purged with inert gas, before the sieving process begins. The entire process can be automated, and the HMI screen clearly displays each operation. Once the machine is fully purged, sieving is commenced. The titanium powder is automatically fed through the high-performance vibratory sieve, where all contaminated particles are removed. The qualified powder is collected in a container, ready for use in production, and the oversize contamination is removed from the process without the loss of good powder.
With a simple one-button operation and mobile design, this automated 3D printing powder sieve ensures powder at any stage of the additive production process is qualified for use quickly and safely. Its flexibility means this system can be applied to numerous powder handling tasks. The system allows full containment and can be purged with inert gas. A compact and mobile design allows easy integration into existing production processes, and minimal contact parts mean quick and easy dismantling and cleaning.
Established in 1934, Russell Finex has over 80 years of experience in processing metal powders, and has worked within the AM industry since its beginning. The company has built relationships with key global manufacturers, enhancing Russell Finex's reputation as a global leader in advanced sieving technology and supporting the evolution of AM powder management.

I write a lot of flash.
I also sell a decent amount of it. I haven't counted how many, but I'd guess about 2/3 of my sales are flash-length fiction, which is defined in most places as 1,000 words or less. My flash stories have been published in markets including Daily Science Fiction, Flash Fiction Online, Abyss & Apex and Every Day Fiction. My most recent flash sale is to Nature Futures.
I don't sell every flash story I write. Some are real stinkers and rightfully get trunked.
There are writers out there who sell more flash, and those who edit or read slush for magazines that publish flash-length stories, and they're probably more qualified to talk about flash than I am. I'm going to do it anyway.
For starters, I think flash is underappreciated. Example: The Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America, also known as SFWA, won't let you in as an associate member with the sale of a flash-length story to a qualifying, professional market. Your sale must be a minimum of 1,000 words.
Considering the SFWA rules, you'd think writing flash was easy, that anyone can do it, and that's why it doesn't count. Flash seems to have that kind of reputation, but it's wrong.
Flash isn't easy to write. No, let me revise that: Good flash isn't easy to write. It's the same as for any length of fiction. Anyone can pound out 5,000 words of crap, but writing a good short story takes skill and practice. I might go so far as to say there's an art to writing a good flash piece.
The challenge of writing flash is, of course, telling a complete story in a few hundred words. You need a compelling premise. You need characters and setting. You need an inciting incident, rising action, a climax and a resolution. That's all the things you need in a longer piece, but you have to do it in a very compact space.
How do you pull that off? Here's my advice:
Keep it simple. Two characters. Three at the most. A plot with one major conflict to resolve. A setting that will be familiar enough to readers that a few well-chosen, well-placed words can serve as your setup. If you get into complicated world-building, chances are the story won't work at flash length.
I read a good analogy once, though I don't remember where, which means I can't give credit where it's due, but here it is. A novel is when the writer invites you into their home and you get to peer into all the nooks and crannies. A short story is when you take in the house by standing in the doorway. A flash is when you stand outside and peer through the window.
But simple doesn't mean boring. No matter what length you're writing at, you need to hook your readers. You need an interesting premise, a compelling story.
In a flash fiction, you can't beat around the bush. No complicated setup. You have to get to the hook fast. Your inciting incident should come no later than 100 words in. That doesn't give you permission to tell instead of show simply because it's more efficient. Prose is important. So are correct grammar, punctuation and syntax.
A lot of flash stories end with a twist. I've ended some that way. If you use a twist, make sure you foreshadow it. However you end the story, closure is important. You need a resolution.
My last bit of advice: No cat stories. I've heard this time and time again. The slush readers will thank you.

In honor of what would've been David Bowie's 70th birthday, the singer's estate has released an EP full of his final recordings, and a music video. The No Plan EP, recorded last year during the making of Blackstar, features tracks from the Lazarus musical, including "Lazarus" and "No Plan."
The video, directed by Tom Hingston, pays tribute to Bowie's iconic portrayal of Thomas Newton in the 1976 sci-fi drama, The Man Who Fell To Earth. The track itself, reminiscent of late '70s Bowie, with albums like Heroes and Low, leaves us feeling even more depressed about Bowie's absence. The somber single perfectly embodies a world without the Starman.
Watch the "No Plan" video, above, and listen to the full EP, below.

We arrived to find the girls' hair and makeup well under way. Kate made a superb job of the make-up, she is so professional and such a lovely lady and one of our brides from a couple of years ago. Sam arrived to do Ebony's hair which looked amazing and completed her look. The preparations were ahead of time and Ebony was keen to get into her dress.
We always say that you can never be too early on your wedding day, it allows us to get some really special photos and no bride should be stressing on her wedding day because of time.
Ebony and her bridesmaids were enjoying every moment and had cracked open a bottle of champagne to start the celebrations.
With the bridal preparations complete we headed off to meet the guys at The Orchid Hotel. Dave and his Groomsmen looked so smart in their matching suits. Despite a slight threat of rain earlier the sun was beginning to break through and the ceremony was going to take place outside in the Courtyard.
The guests were now arriving and starting to take their seats and Ebony was taking a short walk from The Woodcroft across the road to meet Dave at The Orchid.
The Bride was ready to make her entrance, she looked stunning and the Bridesmaids all looked fantastic in their sunshine yellow dresses.Ebony followed her bridesmaids down to meet Dave to the lovely singing of Naomi Mulroy.
After the ceremony the guests joined Ebony and Dave for a few group and family photos before showering them with confetti , wow, we don't think that we've ever seen so much confetti!
As the guests enjoyed their drinks and were entertained by Claire Manners (saxophonist) we disappeared with the Bridal party down to the beach, it was a little breezy but well worth it.
As we returned to the hotel, the barbecue charcoals were hotting up and the Best Men were warming up to do the traditional embarrass the Groom speech. Dave survived and dinner was served.
Ray Weedon the toastmaster had been invaluable throughout the day, ensuring that everyone knew what to do and when.
A short break before the evening got under way with the first dance. I don't remember the dance floor ever having any space on it, it was packed with some real party people determined to have a good time. Some dressing up props made for some good laughs (and Photos), we could tell that the celebrations were going to last well into the night.
We wish Ebony and Dave all the very best for their future together. We look forward to seeing them again and in the meantime we home you enjoy this small selection from their special day.

Maryland Criminal Defense Lawyers for 'Stand Your Ground'
Posted on December 13, 2013
under Crime Stories, Personal Injury
Written by Staff Writer The Baltimore, Maryland crime rate continues to steadily escalate and a Baltimore state delegate by the name of Pat McDonough thinks he might have a solution. Namely, the "Stand Your Ground Law", which exists to some degree in a number of states including, but not limited to, Alabama, Arizona, Georgia, Ohio, and Pennsylvania, and might well be on its way to the city of Baltimore if McDonough has his way. For many years, Baltimore and other Maryland residents have been held to the standards of the "Duty to Retreat" law. Duty to Retreat also applies to residents of Virginia. McDonough argues that encouraging law abiding citizens to turn the other cheek in the event of a physical altercation or attack might not be benefitting the city. And he's not entirely alone in this view. McDonough's support base is on the rise, with his position appealing to…Read More

So when I dove into this one I was taken back to after the flash . Lillie is taken by the infected leaving Ian their daughter and the rest of the survivors trying to find her . She was taken in the middle of a blinding snow storm in the blue mountains . She is held by the infected and finds out what life is like as a slave to the intelligent form of the infected . She also finds out a few other things while she was held captive. Ian is fighting tooth and nail to get to her . Will they find each other and will the infected be taken care of forever .
The characters in this book have become very complex . I really love Lillie she is a fighter . She will do anything to get back to her family and does . I truly liked her and the poor girl gets put through the ringer by the author.

Insert clip art. Again, there are a lot of options for free clip art on TpT. You want to download them and save them to your computer. Then you can open your folder, right click the image and "copy," then paste onto your page. Many clip artists will include both JPG and PNG images. I personally like to use PNG images. These will have a clear background instead of a white box behind them. If you do decide to sell your work, make sure you create a credits page showing which clip artists you used! There are many great examples online, or even in TpT products you own.
How to Make Teacher Worksheets in 5 Easy Steps. Worksheets are definitely the backbone to students learning and grasping concepts taught by the teacher. Making your own worksheets is easy, and it allows you to include just the right material that you want to be sure your students can learn and commit to memory. Here are instructions on how to make worksheets in five easy steps. The first thing you need to do is know the information that you want to include on your worksheet. Make yourself an outline of what you want included. You must then decide how you want to present the questions or puzzles to the students. Do you want to make it a word search puzzle with a secret message at the bottom of the worksheet to reinforce a lesson concept? Do you want it to be a multiple choice or fill-in-the-blank worksheet whereas students need to use their textbooks in order to answer the questions correctly?

Both starters in this afternoon's game gave up the 6 runs that would kick the game into the extra innings it would take to win the game and neither of them pitched beyond the 5th inning. That means it would be up to the bullpens and defense to determine who would come out on top.
The Yankees offense struck first on the backs of Gary Sanchez and Aaron Hicks, who each hit a solo home run in the 2nd inning to get things started. Domingo German got start today in this middle game of the series against the visiting Athletics. He threw 75 pitches in his 5 innings, gave up 6 hits and 3 walks (and those 6 runs), and struck out just a single batter along the way.
German held the A's scoreless until the 4th inning, giving up a single and walk that scored as part of a 1-out 3-run home run to push the A's into the lead. Then with 2 more allowed walks, a 2-out single scored both of those runners and Hicks made the good defensive call to get that batter out trying to grab 2nd in that same play to end their rally. And in the 5th, a lead-off single moved to 2nd on another single, advanced to 3rd on a ground out, and then scored on a sacrifice fly.
The Yankees tried to chip away at the Athletics' lead in the bottom of the 5th as Gardner led-off with a walk and scored as part of Aaron Judge's big 2-run home run to the left field seats. Gregorius then singled and stole 2nd, and Sanchez worked a 1-out walk. That was the end of the A's starter's night, and they went to their bullpen. But Neil Walker kept things going with a 2-out single to scored Gregorius, and after another pitching change, Miguel Andujar's single scored Sanchez to officially tie up the game at that point.
The Yankees made every attempt to break that tie, even loading up the bases in the 6th, but they were left stranded. So it was up to their bullpen to maintain until they could find another breakthrough. Holder, Green, and Betances each took an inning and breezed through the A's roster. Aroldis Chapman walked his first 3 batters and then got out of his own self-inflicted jam with a strikeout and double play, thanks to Brett Gardner's amazing arm from left field and Sanchez's reach at the plate for the tag there. (Replays overturned the original call of safe there, rightly so, and had my mother screaming, "See, you don't run on Gardy either!")
And then it was on to newly signed reliever AJ Cole to keep things under control from the mound, which he did for the 10th and 11th innings, despite some moments of fretting for the afternoon crowd in the Bronx. The A's tried to match this as their 10th inning reliever came out for his 2nd inning, but instead, the Yankees found their opportunity.
With 1 out, Stanton walked, Sanchez hit into a fielder's choice out at 2nd, and Hicks worked a walk. Then it was down to Neil Walker to make a difference. He hit kind of a bloop single to shallow center field and had Sanchez racing home for the walk-off win. The frenzied crowd came alive as Gardner poured the purple Gatorade over the willing Walker.
Final score: 7-6 Yankees, in 11 innings
The Yankees close out their home stand tomorrow with their afternoon game against the Athletics. And brace for the pink tomorrow, as it's Mother's Day in the US, and MLB always does a good job of tying in breast cancer awareness with the holiday (similar to what they do with prostate cancer and Father's Day in June).
Also, with the Red Sox's win against the Blue Jays today, the tie between the Yankees and Red Sox atop MLB standings continues.
Go Yankees!
