I always wondered what the heck was inside those- just figured some variant of a measuring tape coil spring or something. Would love to see a diagram of that

Senior Airman David Platt, left, and Airman 1st Class Rodney Smith inspect an airplane on the flightline Aug. 29, 2017, following a mission at Offutt Air Force Base. A few weeks earlier, a crew flying the plane had to abort a mission early because of smoke and fumes in the cabin.

Help ring in the New Year with this family friendly celebration! Everyone can join in as we count down to noon. There will be art projects, gross motor activities in the gym, bubbles and balloons to celebrate the New Year. Fun for the whole family! Countdown to Noon is presented by Independent Health.

Anne Currier is a sculptor whose medium is ceramic, and she is the recipient of the 2018 Langley H. Kenzie Award which entitles her to a solo exhibition. In Display, Currier will present sculpture from her Anamorphosis series, plus a new collection of wall-mounted sculptures created specifically for the exhibition, and an installation of tile panels designed this year in collaboration with Boston Valley Terra Cotta in Orchard Park, New York. Opening October 12, 2018 at the Burchfield Penney Art Center at SUNY Buffalo State as part of the museum’s M&T Bank Second Friday event, the exhibition will remain on view through Sunday, March 31, 2019.

The Western New York community is invited to join the Independent Health Foundation as they present the 30th annual First Night® Buffalo, the ultimate drug- and alcohol-free New Year’s Eve

Contract workers toil differently—and they often require places outside of their homes to conduct business. Luckily, plenty of public spaces in Denver, from libraries to coffeeshops to co-working spaces, are tuned in to this modern workforce and its needs. Here, seven places wired for work.

Buffalo Rising is a nationally recognized website that delivers highly influential content and advertising that is relevant to people living in and around Buffalo, NY.

“Much of my work is derived from human interaction. Imagine making an impression in the sand from sitting on the beach, getting up and seeing the residual shape formed,” describes Currier. “I also remember being inspired watching a couple do Tai Chi, intrigued by the physical call and response of their hand gestures.”

Currier’s latest tiles, designed in eight variations, will be displayed in public for the first time on two free-standing walls in the Burchfield Penney exhibition. She utilized both wheel-thrown and hand-built techniques to create undulating waves, articulated in both positive and negative profiles, and coated with uniquely formulated glazes that accentuate the rise and fall in the tiles’ surfaces. One is a semi-opaque iridescent satin white; the other is an opaque charcoal satin that breaks with a bronze sheen.

Bryan Fisher, Alaska Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Management operations chief, fielded the question, saying state and federal officials are still in the early stages of their research.

For biomolecular conformational problems like dynamical path sampling or drug docking, where computational search spaces are too large for brute force approaches, our results suggest that VR frameworks, like those that we have outlined here, may offer a powerful tool enabling research experts (for example, structural biologists, molecular modelers, and medicinal chemists) to occupy the same virtual environment and efficiently express their 3D biomolecular intuition to test hypotheses for collaboratively tackling important microscopic questions linked to molecular mechanism and design. For example, using VR technologies to generate seeds for subsequent automated searches could represent a powerful strategy for obtaining molecular insight, which is likely to save on valuable computational clock cycles. It may even be possible to imagine a scenario where machines “learn” efficient strategies for navigating hyperdimensional biomolecular search spaces by accumulating observational data on how human experts navigate hyperdimensional biomolecular spaces in VR.
