Comparing sieve analysis and laser diffraction
Identifying analytical tools that can set size specifications for metal powders is vital. Sieving has long been the principal technique, but what role could laser diffraction play? Dr Sarennah Longworth-Cook and Parminder Singha*, Malvern Instruments, investigate.
Manufacturing industries using powder metallurgy (PM) techniques – including additive manufacturing (AM) and metal injection moulding – rely on a supply chain of closely specified, high-performance metal powders to produce precision components at a competitive cost.
The physical characteristics of these powders – bulk properties and those of the individual metal particles – define their performance and are closely controlled during manufacture. Packing density and flowability are key bulk properties and are directly, though not exclusively, influenced by particle size.
Accordingly, it is vital to identify analytical tools that can reliably set size specifications for metal powders, to validate quality and manage their use. Sieving has long been a favoured technique for routine particle sizing. However, it also has many limitations that are addressed by laser diffraction. Therefore, it is necessary to explore the importance of metal powder particle size and compare the value of sieving and laser diffraction within this context.
Setting specifications
The use of PM methods, especially AM, has intensified pressure on the metal powder supply chain, with manufacturers working to increasingly demanding particle size tolerances. The foremost manufacturing processes for metal powders are attrition milling and gas atomisation, with additional steps such as scalping (the removal of oversized particles), sieving and/or air classification applied to focus the particle size distribution to meet a specification.
A typical particle size distribution for an as-produced gas atomised metal powder usually ranges from around 10-1,000μm (microns), centred on a particle size of 2-300μm. However, much finer powders are optimal for PM processes. For example, metal injection moulding (MIM) powders are in the sub-38μm range, while those for selective laser melting (SLM), a popular AM process, are ideally around 15-45μm. These fine powders ensure the packing densities required to produce high-quality components within well-controlled dimensions. On the other hand, achieving good powder flowability, which is a prerequisite for acceptable processing efficiency, can be challenging with fine powders, as they tend to flow poorly. This is less of a problem with more spherical powder particles, which are preferred for many PM applications. When it comes to assessing sieving and laser diffraction for metal powders, it is important to consider their applicability to powders containing relatively regular particles, ranging in size from several hundred to just tens of microns.
Sieving – an age-old technique
Sieve analysis is one of the earliest techniques developed for particle size measurement and is very simple. A sample is loaded into the top of a sieve stack – a series of sieves with progressively smaller apertures. Vibration of the stack causes the sample to become separated and distributed across the various sieves. The retained sample on each sieve is then weighed to determine a size distribution for the material.
Density (measurements are based on mass/weight) and particle shape will affect the results, not just size. Furthermore, sieve analysis classifies particles according to the sieve aperture dimension they pass through, which tends to correspond to the particles' second largest, rather than primary, dimension. The result reported is the diameter of a sphere that passes an aperture of a given size. The impact this has on the recorded size distribution is most pronounced for irregular and/or elongated particles.
From the perspective of practical implementation, sieving is inexpensive in terms of equipment outlay and sample sizes can be large, making it easier to gather statistically significant data. Furthermore, separating the sample sieve analysis enables the rejection, removal and/or separate investigation of discrete classes, as well as providing a good representation of in-process behaviour where sieving is used as a separation step.
However, there are limitations. First, sieving is slow and manually intensive – replicating measurements can be tedious and in practice is rarely, if ever, done. In addition, it offers only low precision and resolution, typically separating a sample into just five to eight fractions. Finally, and importantly for metal powder applications, sieving becomes problematic in the sub-100μm range due to cohesive forces between particles, which can lead to agglomeration.
Particle size changes during the process, caused by agglomerate formation or break-up, and poor measurement reproducibility and/or sieve blocking, are more likely with finer powders. The resolution of very fine materials (~one μm or less) is not feasible.
The case for laser diffraction
Over recent decades, laser diffraction has, therefore, become the dominant particle sizing method for industrial applications. Laser diffraction analysers detect the angular dependence of the intensity of light scattered by a sample as it passes through a collimated laser beam. Large particles scatter with high intensity at relatively narrow angles to the incident beam, while smaller particles produce a lower intensity signal at wider angles. The particle size distribution associated with a detected scattering pattern can be calculated using an appropriate theory of light behaviour, typically Mie theory.
Laser diffraction measurements, just like sieve analyses, are influenced by particle shape and size, since Mie theory is based on an assumption of spherical particles. For non-spherical particles, the result is the diameter of a collection of spheres with the same volume as the particles. For elongated particles, laser diffraction reports a larger size than that reported by sieving, which finds the smallest dimension for an elongated particle.
In addition, results rely on the scattering efficiency of the particles – their refractive index. Understanding the differences between the measurement principles underpinning laser diffraction and sieving clarifies why the particle size data measured by either technique will be different. Sieving is a mechanical method, laser diffraction is an optical one, and they both determine a different parameter that is indicative of particle size.
Case study data
The data (in graphs opposite) show particle size distributions for two metal powders, sample A and B, measured using laser diffraction and sieve analysis, according to the respective ASTM standards, ASTM B822–17 and ASTM B814–46.
While sieve analysis gives comparable data to laser diffraction for larger particle sizes, there are significant variations in the size distributions reported below approximately 80μm. It would appear that a significant proportion of particles with a size < 63μm are being retained on the 63μm sieve. This is implied by the small amount of sample making it through to the 53 and 45μm sieves, and the discrepancy with laser diffraction data, which clearly shows a significant fraction of particles in this size range. This may be due to poor powder dispersion in the sieve, where fines are bound together, bound to larger particles or adhere to the sieve itself.
Furthermore, as the lower size range for sieve analysis based on the ASTM standard is 38μm, it is only possible to record the fraction of particles < 38μm. Laser diffraction, however, is capable of measuring size distributions in the sub-micron range, and data for sample B clearly shows there is a significant fraction of particles with a size distribution extending to below 10μm.
A valuable technique
The capital investment for laser diffraction is greater than for sieving but the practical benefits of the former are significant, including:
- Fast measurement times – results are typically reported in less than a minute.
- A broad measurement range, from 0.01-3,500 microns, which comfortably spans the range of interest for metal powders.
- Fully automated analysis, to the point of online implementation, where required.
- High reproducibility/repeatability that can be demonstrated through duplicate measurements.
- The capability to detect and quantify fine and coarse material in a single measurement.
- High resolution – modern systems typical report around 100 size classes, thereby delivering the sensitivity to detect even subtle changes in particle size distribution for effective quality control (QC).
Samples are prepared for laser diffraction to ensure a consistent state of agglomeration, typically complete dispersion, as it is the primary particle size that tends to be of most interest. Rapid dry powder dispersion can be achieved for samples containing very fine or even sub-micron particles and is often suitable for metal powders, which tend to be relatively effective. Liquid-based dispersion is the alternative and is useful for very fine particles.
A winning formula for metal powders
It is clear from the assessments that sieving and laser diffraction have very different strengths and limitations. Those working at the forefront of metal powder supply harness the best attributes of both, rather than choosing between them.
Sieve analysis is typically applied to coarser metal powders, as part of material acceptance (QA), and also to assess how a sieving/screening step will perform in a process. Laser diffraction is valued for its high throughput, especially in QC, and for robust assessment of the level of fines. Fines can have an impact on packing and flow behaviour, and are closely controlled in market-leading metal powders.
Together, the techniques enable metal powder manufacturers to understand and closely control product properties and ensure a robust supply chain for the optimal application of PM processes.

The fluid that enters the glomerular capsule is called ultrafiltrate (fig. 17.10) because it is formed under pressure—the hydrostatic pressure of the blood. This process is similar to the formation of tissue fluid by other capillary beds in the body in response to Starling forces (chapter 14; see fig. 14.9). The force favoring filtration is opposed by a counterforce developed by the hydrostatic pressure of fluid in the glomerular capsule. Also, since the protein concentration of the tubular fluid is low (less than 2 to 5 mg per 100 ml) compared to that of plasma (6 to 8 g per 100 ml), the greater colloid osmotic pressure of plasma promotes the osmotic return of filtered water. When these opposing forces are subtracted from the hydrostatic pressure of the glomerular capillaries, a net filtration pressure of only about 10 mmHg is obtained.
Because glomerular capillaries are extremely permeable and have an extensive surface area, this modest net filtration pressure produces an extraordinarily large volume of filtrate. The glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is the volume of filtrate produced by both kidneys per minute. The GFR averages 115 ml per minute in women and 125 ml per minute in men. This is equivalent to 7.5 L per hour or 180 L per day (about 45 gallons)! Since the total blood volume averages about 5.5 L, this means that the total blood volume is filtered into the urinary tubules every 40 minutes. Most of the filtered water must obviously be returned immediately to the vascular system, or a person would literally urinate to death within minutes.

not a reality under rabbinic law," Cohen observes._
Ethnic origins and hereditary priesthoods have opened two windows on Jewish history; a third has been created by the study of genetic diseases. Every population has its own particular set of genetic diseases, but those of Jewish communities in the United States and Israel have come under particular medical scrutiny, which is one reason why so many have been documented. The diseases are known as Mendelian, because they are caused by a single mutation and inherited in an obvious pattern; this stands in contrast with the so-called complex diseases, like cancer or diabetes, which can be caused by many contributing genes and are not inherited in any clear pedigree.
So far at least 40 different Mendelian diseases have been detected in Jewish 322
populations. Some of these diseases occur in non-Jewish populations as well, some are common to several Jewish communities, and some are restricted just to the Jews of a single community. The diseases are of course studied so as to help the patients but incidentally they yield many interesting clues to population history.
A disease called familial Mediterranean fever is caused by an errant gene that occurs among Ashkenazi, Iraqi and Moroccan Jews. It is also found in Armenians, the Muslim Druze sect and Turks. All present versions of the gene seem to be descended from a single ancestor who must have lived about 4,000 years ago in the ancient Middle Eastern population from which Jews and other ethnic groups are descended.
Later, the Jewish religion was founded and its adherents developed their own genetic history as they started to marry among themselves. The Jewish population may have grown to about a million people before suffering a terrible decline in AD 70, the year of the destruction of the temple in Jerusalem by a Roman army. That event began the diaspora, the dispersal of Jewish populations around the Mediterranean world. The largest Jewish community, the Ashkenazim of central and eastern Europe, may have reached 150,000 or so people by AD 1095, the year of the first crusade and the beginning of the persecution of Jews by Christians.
The Ashkenazi Jewish population is of particular interest because it has produced many individuals of high intellectual achievement, both in Europe and among the Ashkenazim who fled to the United States and elsewhere in the wake of Nazi persecution. Another attribute is a distinctive set of Mendelian diseases. The mutations that cause these diseases can hit at random anywhere in the genome, so would not be expected to favor any particular category of gene. But no fewer than four of the Ashkenazic Mendelian diseases affect the cell's management of chemicals known as sphingolipids, so called because their discoverer could not resolve the sphinxlike riddle of what they did. The four sphingolipid diseases are Tay-Sachs, Gaucher, Niemann-Pick and mucolipidosis type IV. Another cluster of four diseases affects the cell's system for repairing DNA. These are the BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations which can cause breast and ovarian cancer, Fanconi's anemia Type C and Bloom syndrome. The sphingolipid diseases in particular are reminiscent of the group of mutations that cause blood disorders like sickle cell anemia, and which are now recognized as defenses against malaria. When malaria suddenly became a threat some 5,000 years ago, natural selection favored any mutation that offered protection, even if it carried serious disadvantages. Diseases like sickle cell anemia are the result of that quick fix. The sickle cell mutation, though devastating for individuals unlucky enough to inherit a copy from each parent, offers substantial protection against malaria for the much larger number in the population who inherit just a single copy.
Evolution has probably engineered many quick fixes like this in the human genome. Later, as the generations pass and better mutations turn up, evolution is generally able to improve on the quick fix or favor variant genes that diminish the side effects of the first mutation. This is why a batch of harmful mutations affecting a common pathway is the fingerprint of a recent evolutionary response to some sudden selective pressure.
Turning back to the four sphingolipid diseases, they look awfully like an evolutionary quick fix, a set of mutations selected because of some advantage gained by disrupting sphingolipid metabolism. So if that advantage was protection against disease, what disease could it have been? The puzzle is that carriers of the sphingolipid mutations don't seem to enjoy unusual immunity to any specific disease.
"A second hypothesis," writes Jared Diamond, after discussing the idea that the variant genes conferred greater resistance to tuberculosis, "is selection in Jews for the intelligence putatively required to survive recurrent persecution, and also to make a living by commerce, because Jews were barred from the agricultural

What activities were you involved with at the U of A?
Fresh HOGS, Associated Student Government, Chi Omega, Arkansas Booster Club, Greek Life Facilitators, Student Alumni Board, Young Democrats, Mortar Board Honor Society, Order of Omega Honor Society
How has your position on SAB helped you after graduation?
Student Alumni Board was by far my favorite leadership position I held during my time at the U of A. It exposed me to a myriad of people and ideas. I think the most valuable learning I have taken away from SAB and have been able to apply to my post-undergrad career is the importance of networking as well as maintaining relationships whether they are friendly and/or professional. I would have never imagined the opportunities I have received from simply forming new contacts and making the effort to reconnect occasionally.
What was your major at the U of A and why did you choose it?
I was a double major in economics and political science. I started as a political science major because I have always been interested in policy and governmental functions in general. I added economics to supplement my political science degree and really enjoined the analytical nature of this degree and type of thinking.
What is your current job and where are you located?
I am currently a merchant assistant for Macys.com which is a part of the online buying team. I am currently living in Manhattan, New York.
Describe the transition from college to the professional world.
My transition to the professional world was much more accelerated than I had anticipated. I was offered my position the week after graduation and had to find a place to live in NYC and start work within three weeks. The transition was somewhat overwhelming, but extremely exciting. Going from the college to working anywhere from 8-12 hours a day was much easier than I expected however. My days are extremely fast paced and seem to speed by.
What advice would you give a current freshman on campus?
I know it's been said before, but honestly the best advice I can give to a current freshman or anyone is to get involved on campus or in NWA. I took advantage of this early my freshman year and I am so thankful I did. I met so many wonderful people as a result and I was offered opportunities I could have never imagined. I also think it is so valuable to build genuine relationships with your professors and administrators. I still keep in close contact with several of mine.
What advice would you give a graduating senior?
Network! I used to be very apprehensive to reach out to adults/administrators about potential career opportunities. It wasn't until I was on Student Alumni Board that I really began to take advantage of this. Arkansas Alumni are so loyal to our university and are looking to help our students. I received my current job from networking with Arkansas alumni.

Watercraft engineers are Soldiers who make it happen
Story and photos by Sgt. Jon Heinrich
8th Theater Sustainment Command Public Affairs
KAHULUI — Commonly seen aboard military vessels are the bridge and deck crews, who may be thought of as the operators who keep it moving. In reality, they are the engineers behind the scenes who maintain the vessel and allow it to function and fulfill its mission.
For the watercraft engineers of Logistical Support Vessel-2, the CW3 Harold C. Clinger, maintaining an LSV is a never-ending job with many challenges and rewards.
"Being an engineer is great and very rewarding," said Staff Sgt. David Compton, a junior marine engineer with 605th Transportation Detachment, 545th Trans. Company, 8th Theater Sustainment Command. "If it weren't for us (engineers), none of these missions would happen."
Compton said that the vessel requires constant monitoring while underway since the engines, generators and pipes could fail at anytime.
"We'll think everything is going great, running fine, and then all of a sudden something will break, and we have to fix it," Compton said.
As the squad leader of the vessel's engineers, Compton is in charge of seven Soldiers, one of whom, Spc. Feider Pena, has only been doing this job for two years.
"I feel that with the boat, you'll get more experience than with a vehicle," Pena said. "You'll get more systems to work on."
Pena, a watercraft engineer with 605th Trans. Det., said he took on his military occupational specialty because he likes working with his hands and fixing things.
"While underway, we're in charge of taking readings on all systems, auxiliary and propulsion, to see if anything's wrong," Pena said. "If there is, we try to fix it. If we can't fix it, we'll bring it up to other qualified personnel."
In addition to maintaining and repairing equipment on the vessel, the engineers train regularly on controlling the boat via a makeshift bridge in the engine room, should the need arise.
In a crew of only 12 Soldiers comprised of chief warrant officers, noncommissioned officers and junior enlisted Soldiers, the engineers must work in shifts in order to maintain the vessel properly.
"When something breaks and we're able to react quickly, fix it and keep the boat moving, then it's a good feeling. It's only 12 of us on the boat who keep it running, and we can do it all on our own without outside help," Compton said.
Overall, both engineers agree they love their job, even if for different reasons.
While Pena said he likes being able to visit new places within the Pacific theater, Compton said he enjoys the self-reward of an accomplished mission.

The house has 3 bedrooms and 2 full baths on the first floor but has a huge bonus room upstairs and another office/craft room on the second floor.

This very special, very rare, very early, small vernacular building is not for everyone. For some, the historic value and preservation opportunity will be evident. It could be definitely "love at first sight". In fact, one might hear, "I can't wait to own and cherish Anderton's Desire". This delightful ca. 1803 dwelling is considered one of the oldest wood frame houses within the Historic District. Each room speaks of the history it has seen. Each room features its own unique fireplace and handsome pine flooring. In fact, a hidden cupboard is found in the Dining room mantel. The formerly detached summer kitchen which is the last in the telescopeing style,was joined (about 1840) by a frame hyphen. The present kitchen is located here with a brick floor. The "Summer Kitchen" with fireplace also boosts a brick floor. Original architectural details and features abound. Anderton's Desire is so "pure" one asks, "How did it remain so untouched?" It is very much like stepping back in time for there are few modern amenities.The approachable size of the house encourages one to slowly and carefully let it teach the preservationist its' needs. It would make a perfect weekend (or year round) location for those looking for that small preservation project that fulfills the preservationist's dreams. This lovely property is nestled in the heart of the Historic District of East New Market where one will find many beautifully restored early buildings. The list is long and impressive. History is quite important to East New Market. "During the second half of the 17th c., a small village in northern Dorchester County, Maryland, originally inhabited by Indians, was colonized and the town presently known as Historic East Market was established. The town was entered into the National Register of Historic Places in 1975. There is a charming log outbuilding which stands nearby on this half-acre village lot.
New construction rancher style home located on over a half acre lot. Spacious living area opens to the dining area that flows into the kitchen with peninsula. The other end of the house hosts three nicely sized bedrooms and two full baths. The property is conveniently located to Rt. 50 that will lead you to shopping & dining.
First time offering in North Dorchester. Almost 2 acres with nicely kept home. Lots of storage, sep laundry room, recent HVAC. There's room for a pool or a huge garden.Bring your trucks, boats toys and or campers. The garages are a car collectors or hobbyist dream with work shop and tons of storage. No immediate neighbors - just fields as far as you can see. Located in Warwick school district, with the new opening of the NDHS this is a great place to be. This is an estate sale and seller is willing to entertain USDA, FHA and VA loans. Don't let this one get away.
Serene water views over Cabin Creek!
BRAND NEW ROOF. Cute farmhouse that sits on a private lot that is surrounded by trees. The kitchen and baths were updated by the current owner.
Four 61x560 chicken houses and four 42x500 chicken houses. 3 manure sheds, 2 generators along with a beautifully updated 5 bedroom home and mobile home on the property.

Not to be a c*nt or a know-it-all but I hardly think that does worth 100. Components are rather low-end.

2002 Monaco Lapalma Floor Truss Info Needed
rognelson777 posted a topic in Buying an RVLooking at purchasing a 2002 Monaco Lapalma 36DBD with low mileage. Found recall info and there is a potential recall for floor truss needing to be reinforced. W22 Workhorse chassis. Brake recall has been completed. Who can I contact to find if this particular model needs the repair? Is there a easy way to inspect the coach if needed or completed? I was able to download diagram of where repair parts should be installed but B/W photos on recall are iffy quality. Lifes bumps in the road (health issues is main reason for a used model in this price range) and wife wants the bath and a half. Also, anyone chime in on other issues with this year Lapalma. Had a Winnebago brave and found out after purchase that they had run into a bridge and damaged roof. Minor leak issues that I had to stay on top of with sealants. Still enjoyed motorhome and took at least 3 vacations a year. Was able to learn all the in's and outs of motorhome life and do not want to travel any other way now. I will get a chassis/parts warranty, probably Good Sam for 1st year or so in case powertrain failure. Looking forward to your comments

VATICAN CITY (CNS) — Pope Francis has named Archbishop Savio Hon Tai-Fai to be the new Vatican nuncio to Greece. The archbishop, who was born in Hong Kong, had been secretary of the Congregation for the Evangelization of Peoples since late 2010.
In a short break from his duties at the Vatican, Pope Francis had sent him to Guam from June to October 2016 to serve as apostolic administrator of the Archdiocese of Agana after Archbishop Anthony Apuron was accused of sexual abuse.
The Vatican investigation and trial of Archbishop Apuron continues. In October 2016, Pope Francis sent a then-auxiliary bishop of Detroit to the island and named him coadjutor archbishop with the right of succession. But the pope also gave Archbishop Michael J. Byrnes "special faculties" that gave him full authority in the archdiocese although Archbishop Apuron retained the title. Archbishop Hon had said publicly that he asked Pope Francis to remove Archbishop Apuron.
Archbishop Hon was the top Chinese official at the Vatican and deeply involved in the ongoing discussions about Vatican-Chinese relations.
Born in Hong Kong Oct. 21, 1950, he went to Salesian schools and entered the order. He was ordained to the priesthood in 1982. He earned a doctorate in theology from the Salesian university in Rome, and held a variety of positions in the Salesian order in Hong Kong. He also taught at Holy Spirit Seminary in Hong Kong and in several seminaries in China.
He was ordained a bishop by Pope Benedict XVI in February 2011.

Virtual Exhibit Tour
Enter the galleries to explore a virtual tour of the Monroe County History Center's spring exhibitions in 2020.
Lake Monroe Oral History Project
In 1986 Alice Morrison (née Mordoh), a doctoral student at the Indiana University Folklore Institute, published her dissertation entitled "Portrait of a Lost Community: A Folklife Study of the Salt Creek Valley of South Central Indiana and the Effects of Community Displacement Following Formation of the Monroe Reservoir."
For her dissertation, Morrison collected the oral histories of past residents of Salt Creek while also exploring other fields such as local history, cultural geography, political influence, and the industrialization of agriculture. These oral histories, now housed in the Monroe County History Center Research Library, tell the stories of the people and places whose traditional ways of life were disrupted by the construction of Lake Monroe.
All the audio and research in this online exhibit comes from Morrison's fieldwork. Due to this, some of the audio may be less clear than is desirable and some locations may have changed since the 1980s.
Exhibit created for the Monroe County History Center Research Library by Delainey Bowers and Dorothy Berry. Edited by Emily Noffke. Huge thanks to Alice Reed Morrison for the donation of her research materials and oral history recordings.
Monroe County Hall of Fame
The Monroe County Hall of Fame was established on July 4, 1976 in honor of the United States Bicentennial. Ten individuals who contributed significantly to the history of Monroe County were inducted that first year. Throughout the years the citizens of Monroe County have continued to elect more people who helped make our community special into the Hall of Fame. You can find out more information about each of the members of the Hall of Fame with this digital exhibition. The Monroe County History Center developed this digital exhibition of the Hall of Fame, which can also be viewed at the History Center on a large interactive touch screen, was made possible with funding provided by the Operation Round Up program of SCI REMC.

Sunsets in New Orleans are peaceful. Elderly couples sit out on their porches, watching over their neighborhoods as Spanish moss hanging from the old oaks wisps in the Southern breeze. Families wrap up their dinners, street artists pack up their brushes, and the sound of the French Quarter's ever distant trumpet becomes softer and softer. Suddenly, the sun sets on Lake Pontchartrain, and the city goes wild. Parties spill out into the street, the music goes zero to one hundred, and the never ending supply of booze keeps the night owls content through the night and into the early morning.
But behind all the din are the local businesses that make New Orleans unique. Behind every delicious dish there's a cook who prepped for that meal the night before. Behind every ghost tour there's a tour guide reciting hundreds of ghostly facts in front of a mirror. And in Uptown, in a studio out of her home, you'll find Ash Marquardt, who owns Twiga, a local jewelry store on the rise. She designs and creates every single piece by hand, which not only allows her to develop as an artist, but also the freedom to carry out her own vision.
Marquardt moved to New Orleans from California and started Twiga as a hobby, selling her pieces through a friend's boutique. But before long she had created a website, and struck out on her own."I love making jewelry," she said, "so I made a business out of it." Her pieces mainly focus on natural subjects, coming in all different sizes and shapes. In her Winged Collection, you'll find honeybees, owls, and even cicadas, in true New Orleans fashion. Her Eye of the Beholder collection features earrings with tigers dangling inside brass hoops, and a mini plastic tooth feature on the bottom. These were designed as "an open rebellion against repetitive cycles that no longer serve us," according to her website, twigadesigns.com. These hoops are not only stylish, but also remind us that we are absolutely capable of breaking bad habits and destructive cycles in our lives. That is Marquardt's specialty: showing us our own reflections through nature. As humans, we don't always notice just how similar we are to other animals, but the gems sold by Twiga remind us of just that. When asked about her particular style, Marquardt said, "I like to create interesting pieces that spark conversations when you walk down the street. Basically, wearable art."
But with the summer comes new ideas, and new projects. These days, Maraquardt is focused on anatomical pieces, such as eyes and hearts, and even faces. She also intends to begin work on a pearl line very soon. This is all part of what owning a business means to her: exploring her own creativity. But it's no secret that every artist draws inspiration from their surroundings. When she came to New Orleans from California, she brought with her an aesthetic she developed thanks in part to her time on the Left Coast, but she admits, her new home has rubbed off on her too. The vibrant colors and free flowing movement of the Big Easy's art scene compliment her style. "I can really feel the boho vibe here blending with that classic Southern taste and I love it," she said. But it's not just the art, or the streetcars, or the old Cajun cottages that have inspired her, it's also the people themselves. Marquardt explained, "New Orleans has this amazing human-to-nature link. People aren't afraid to be themselves here, they're true to themselves. With all the interesting faces I come across everyday, sometimes, I feel them coming out in my work."
Marquardt may love what she does, but that doesn't mean running Twiga is a walk through Audubon Park. She oversees every function of her business, from designing to creation, listing items on her website, shipping, and more. As to how she handles it all: "Lists, lists, and more lists. I really love being able to cross items off my lists, because that's how I know I'm not wasting time." For an entrepreneur, wasting time is like flushing money down the toilet. But Marquardt also takes time for herself. "You have to, sometimes," she said. Luckily for her, she lives in the perfect place to do just that. But she isn't the only one who has noticed the opportunities in New Orleans. Entrepreneur Week, the city's week-long collaborative effort to encourage startups, has gone from a small event of 100 or so to a festival of entrepreneurship that saw over 2,000 in attendance in 2019. In the midst of a revitalized startup culture, new small businesses can now be found all over the city. Marquardt's advice to rookie entrepreneurs: "Use each day wisely, know that the world is working in your favor, but most of all, if you love it go for it."
Yes, life as an entrepreneur isn't easy. But Maraquardt will be quick to remind you just how rewarding her life is. She lives in an amazing city, doing what she loves, surrounded by inspiration. Ask her what the most rewarding part of her work is, though, and she'll answer, "the pride I feel sharing a gift with the city and the world."

According to a report published in Hindustan Times, temporary camps have been erected and arrangements to cook food have also been made for the women. To beat the cold bonfire has also been arranged. Women from all religions are participating in the protest against the CAA-NRC after finishing their daily chores.
One of the participants, Shakina, told the media house, "Women from all religions have come together to protest against the CAA, NRC and NPR. I don't think CAA is against any religion, but it will put poor and women in trouble in days to come. So, it is our kind request to the Modi government to repeal the new law." Protesters also claimed that the Ranchi administration granted them permission for the protest. Shaheen Bagh Protesters Help Ambulance to Pass as Cops Stand and Watch, Shows Video.

The protest at Shaheen Bagh, which started on December 15, 2019 days after the passage of the contentious act, is spearheaded by women. The sit-in by the protesters has been continuing over a month now. On Sunday, a complaint was filed against protesters for creating blockade in Shaheen Bagh. The complaint was filed against the protesters days after the Delhi High Court asked police to look into the matter of the closure of Delhi's Kalindi Kunj-Shaheen Bagh in the larger public interest.

Are these truly the days before Rodeo?
Travi$ Scott is prepping his proper debut album, Rodeo, for what appears to be a summer release, and after releasing its lead single, "3500," following his much talked about Summer Jam performance, he's back with a new release.
"Antidote" is an eerie, sing-songy, heavily auto-tuned record, which acts as somewhat of a contrast to "3500," which is a drawn out, three-verse rap fest with Scott, Future and 2 Chainz. Scott doesn't rap a single word of this song until there's nearly a minute left, rather opting for his false falsetto for most of it, singing about a "night show" that involves drugs and liquor. Listen to it below.

Press Release Aug 21, 2019
August 21, 2019
HomeCare of Mid-Missouri (HCMM) is experiencing a period of rapid growth in patient services due in part to the addition of over 80 clients from another home care provider. The additional patients made it necessary for HCMM to hire 24 additional health care workers, expanding HCMM's total employees and contracted staff to over 150 people.
Along with a Healthcare Quality Score of 4 of 5 stars from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), HCMM expects to see continued growth in patients and patient services over the next twelve months. The HCMM Board of Directors has recently formulated a strategic plan designed to align resources and operational focus in order to accommodate continued growth and ensure the highest level of patient care. HCMM is above the state and national average in helping patients improve in managing daily activities, has shown exceptional care in helping patients keep from developing pressure ulcers and improved wound healing. HCMM has received national recognition as the Top 500 Home Care Elite entities in 2018.
Established in February 1974 as a community service agency, HomeCare of Mid-Missouri began direct care to clients.

Sensational Zanaco has enjoyed dominance over Forest Rangers in the recent past, Something they will hope to continue when the two sides meet this afternoon in a week six clash at Sunset Stadium.
The Bankers have recorded seven wins in their last eight meetings with the Ndola based outfit. The one loss they suffered came back in 2016 on 5th June, 1-0 courtesy of a Kobe Chipeta strike.
Zanaco is 10th on the log and can move up with a win while Forest Rangers may find themselves second on the log depending on what Zesco United does in their match against Green Buffaloes.
Fole Malembe is unbeaten in their last five matches winning three of those while Zanaco has recorded three different results in just their last three games.
2019 transitional league joint top goalscorer Zikiru Adams is expected to lead the Forest Rangers attack and is the man expected to find the back of the net for Fole Malembe.
The Bankers welcomed Zimbabwean midfielder Tafadzwa Rusike back in training together with Souleymanou Moussa, Chitiya Mususu and Roger Kola and the quadruple are Zanaco's best bet at beating an in-form Forest Rangers side

Nature versus nurture is a phrase with which many of us are familiar. Our genes are responsible for many of our traits, but nurture or environmental influences surely have a part to play.
When it comes to obesity and type 2 diabetes, it is easy to follow a straightforward train of thought.
If we consistently consume more calories than we burn each day, we put on weight, and this predisposes us to develop type 2 diabetes.
Our fat cells and pancreas recover once we change our lifestyle and lose weight. However, this simple equation leaves us with many unanswered questions.

Nebraska Water Center Spring Water Seminar Series
March 4 @ 3:30 pm - 4:30 pm
Roric Paulman, Paulman Farms, "Through a Farmer's Eyes" (Kremer Lecture)
Livestream (only during event)
YouTube video playlist
The Nebraska Water Center (NWC), in partnership with the University of Nebraska-Lincoln's School of Natural Resources, will begin its annual Spring Water Seminar Series in January. This year, the focus is on current issues related to Nebraska water. The public series takes place most Wednesdays throughout the spring from 3:30 p.m.-4:30 p.m. in the Hardin Hall Auditorium. A full schedule can be found here.
In addition, the series – with writing assignments and in-class, student-led discussions on alternate weeks – doubles as a one-credit hour undergraduate/graduate course listed under NRES/AGRO/GEOG/GEOL 484/884 and WATS 484. Students interested in registering should be junior level or above. The series will also be live-streamed from the Nebraska Water Center homepage.
This year, the series includes a wide range of lecturers from across the country and around the state. Together they will provide diverse perspectives on water, from groundwater modeling to supplying water to thirsty cities. With the recent devastating flooding, recognizing the state's ever-changing water issues is as essential as ever. Established in 1968, the series provides a forum to increase awareness and allow for meaningful conversation regarding these issues.
This year lecturers include:
- March 4 – Roric Paulman, Paulman Farms, "Through a Farmer's Eyes" (Kremer Lecture)

Molecular Characterization of the 229E Strain of Human Coronavirus
- Citations
- 417 Downloads
Human coronaviruses (HCV) cause various respiratory, gastrointestinal and possibly neurological disorders. Very little is known of the molecular biology of these ubiquitous pathogens. We have undertaken the molecular characterization of the prototype 229E strain of HCV. The virus grew to the highest titers on a human embryonic lung cell line (L132) at 33°C and purification was optimal on Renografin-60® gradients. Metabolic labeling with [35S]methionine or [3H] glucosamine or galactose and analysis by SDS-PAGE revealed at least five structural proteins, which could be identified by analogy with murine coronaviruses as follows: the spike glycoprotein (E2/S), in both monomelic (88–97 kDa) and dimeric (190–200) forms, the nucleoprotein (N) at 52–53 kDa and the matrix protein (El/M), in both glycosylated (25–26 kDa) and non-glycosylated (20–22 kDa) forms. Monomeric, dimeric and multimeric (>200 kDa) forms of E2/S incorporated glucosamine and galactose, whereas only galactose was incorporated into El/M. Mult mers of El/M, with apparent molecular masses of 44, 74 and 140 kDa, were formed in the absence of a reducing agent.

The best hairbrushes - as chosen by Mumsnetters
15 August 2019
Few things in life are as gratifying as a good hair day. Investing in a quality hairbrush is the first step towards achieving the sleek, bouncy tresses of your dreams. Whether you're looking for a styling brush, a detangler, or a sturdy paddle brush, here's a full roundup of the best hairbrushes as chosen by Mumsnetters.
Mason Pearson Brushes, from £30.94
When it comes to the best hairbrush money can buy, you can't go wrong with a Mason Pearson. Mumsnetters can't get enough of their mixed bristle brushes and, while the price is (ahem) a little steeper than you might expect for a hairbrush, these brushes are basically lifelong companions. Many users say they've had theirs since they were a child. From round brushes to paddle brushes, make sure you explore the full range to find the right brush for you.
"The Mason Pearson Mixed Bristle Brush is excellent and far better than any other brush my daughter and I have tried."
"I have a Mason Pearson, which I've had and used for 30+ years."
"I'm another Mason Pearson fan. I use the mixed bristle one."Buy now from Amazon
Denman D83 Large Paddle Hairbrush, £10.50
Denman hairbrushes in general are popular on our Style and Beauty forum and this paddle brush is no exception. Suitable for all hair types and lengths, it gently removes tangles whilst smoothing hair for a boost in shine. Especially good for blow drying hair to swishy perfection, this Denman hair brush glides down the hair cuticle for a sleek finish.
"I have thick hair and always liked Denman brushes when I wore it longer for hassle-free brushing and tangle-free hair."
"I have long, thick, straight hair and I always return to Denman. I think they are the best. Leaves no frizz and gets through any knots."Buy now from Amazon
Related: The best hair straighteners for achieving sleek, frizz-free tresses.
Kent Perfect for Detangling Hairbrush, £10
With fat, quilled bristles and a cushioned pad, this Kent hair brush is designed specifically for penetrating through tricky knots and tangles in wet hair, but also works well if you want a brush to smooth your barnet during blow drying. Suitable for all hair types, the air cushioned pad helps to protect the scalp from damage while the pins emulate finger movements to detangle without pain.
"I'm a big fan of Kent brushes. I have long, straight hair and always use this one."
"Another vote for Kent. I have long, straight, very fine hair and their natural bristle ones don't cause any static. I've had mine a good three years now and it's as good as new still."Buy now from John Lewis
GHD Ceramic Vented Radial Brush, £17.50
GHD are well known for creating great hair styling products thanks to their very popular straighteners, but their hairbrush range is also a top-quality purchase. Recently, their Ceramic Vented Radial Brush has been making waves (quite literally) with Mumsnetters: working perfectly with a hair dryer, this 55mm-diameter brush provides bounce and volume to your hair while the ceramic plating offers heat protection.
"I love the GHD Radial Brushes. Nothing else I've tried gives volume like them."Buy now from Amazon

Wet Brush Original Detangler, £10.47 (was £11.99)
Making light work of unruly tangles, the Wet Brush is praised for its ability to get rid of knots without hair damage (or tears). With soft IntelliFlex bristles that move with the hair rather than drag through it, Mumsnetters find it especially useful for children with long hair as it offers a pain-free solution to knots and tangles. This brush can be used on wet or dry hair with 45% less damage than a regular brush.
"I love my Wet Brush. I bought it on a whim one day and loved it so much I bought another."
"My daughter has a Wet Brush and it works great for her. Much better than the other tangle ones we have used."Buy now from Amazon
Goody Clean Radiance Oval Cushion Brush, £17.97
As effective as it is attractive, this stylish white-and-copper brush offers a comfortable grip and won't snag or damage your hair. Mumsnetters love how shiny and smooth it leaves hair, all while maintaining a clean and healthy scalp. The relatively low price tag makes it a good option for those looking for a quality product without a hefty investment.
"I've just bought a Goody copper oval brush and it's fab"
"I'm really fussy as most brushes make my hair static so I prefer metal-type bristles. The Goody brush makes my hair really smooth and shiny. It's good at detangling too."Buy now from Amazon
Related: If the words 'fake tan' tend to conjure images of Donald Trump and the aroma of biscuits for you, you'll be pleasantly surprised by this list of Mumsnetter-approved best self-tan.
The Original Tangle Teezer, £8.07 (was £12)
Available in all sorts of styles and colours, the Tangle Teezer range is as varied as it is practical. Designed specifically for detangling hair without pain or damage, this brush has a unique ergonomic design to prevent snagging and offer a comfortable grip. Suitable for wet or dry hair, the mixed length bristles glide through knots for quick and easy results. It's particularly good for brushing hair masks through to ensure even coverage.
"I have a Tangle Teezer which I love."
"Try a Tangle Teezer – it's ace for thick hair, wet or dry."Buy now from Amazon
Head Jog Candy Colours Brush Bag Set, £7.56
This brand is a firm favourite with salons and Mumsnetters alike, offering a huge range of hair styling tools and accessories. This particular set combines four of the most popular brushes into one neat bag in a rainbow of pastel colours for a very modest price: a vent brush, a paddle brush with wave pins, a paddle brush with brush cleaner and a detangler.
"I like really Head Jog brushes. You can feel the difference when you've used them. They use them at my hair salon."Buy now from Amazon

Europe Pounded by its Worst Storm in Decades
The deadly storm which has included heavy snowfalls has killed at least seven people in Poland, the UK, Sweden and Denmark. Fallen trees are making some roads impassible and flights, rail and ferry services have all been disrupted or canceled. Many schools have also been closed.
Winds of up to 228km/h (142 mph) battered Scotland and England's east coast experienced its worst tidal surge in 60 years. About 10,000 homes had to be evacuated in Norfolk and Suffolk and several homes fell into the sea at Hemsby. The Thames Barrier was closed to protect London from the storm surge. In north Wales residents had to be rescued by lifeboat crews.
In northern Germany winds gusted up to nearly 150km/h (93mph) and Hamburg experienced its biggest tidal surges since the 1960s, flooding the town including the historic fish market. The Elbe river rose 6m (20ft) above its average level.

Customer reviews for this trader
I used Darren because I wanted somebody local to where I lived. He came to assess the work, fitting a new hob and oven, and said I needed to have a gas pipe altered. He recommended a trader who did the work. The fitting of the hob/oven was done on time and in good time. The price charged was very reasonable. I am very pleased with the work done and would highly recommend him.
Darren came out quickly and fixed my light, he also made safe a couple of other issues left by the previous owner. I would definitely recommend him to others. Thank you Darren.
Darren did me some electrical work. Corrected some poor electrical lines and fitted new switches and sockets. If you want a competent electrician, then choose D S Wood Electrical.
We have used Darren a few times over the years would highly recommend him, came out same day and completed the job.
Darren was absolutely marvellous I thought it would be rip old out put new in simple not a chance I had new floor new ceiling new stud walls the lot he took it all in his stride he was so good it was amazing my bathroom went from 1950s to 2018 in two very long weeks but oh my god it is amazing I never thought it would be so good he can talk for England and he loves his tea I would recommend him to any one big job or small out of this world electrics plastering plumbing the lot and he did all this on his own thank you very much.
Came out on a Sunday when other electricians weren't even picking up the phone. Friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. Highly recommended. My new go-to electrician.
Rang back promptly after my initial enquiry to bond a gas meter. Attended as arranged and did the work straightaway at a fair price. Gave me further advice about electrical matters and was courteous and competent. Would definitely recommend and use this trader again.
Thorough, reliable and thoughtful. Darren was immensely respectful to my elderly mum and through consultation with her, created a bathroom that she can now use with safety and confidence. Work was immaculate, completed to schedule and I cannot recommend him and his team highly enough. Thank you Darren for everything you did.
