The Z-SSD supplies up to 30 drive writes per day for five years, or a total of 42 petabytes. That translates into storing a total of about 8.4 million 5GB-equivalent HD movies over a five-year period. The Z-SSD’s durability is also underscored by a mean time between failures of 2million hours.

Yes, if: we can site and design a new convention center that is flexible enough to expand if necessary or, what may be more likely, shrink if changes in technology and business practices cause convention center bookings to fall off precipitously. If the industry trends to, say, fewer and fewer but larger and larger events, then fewer and fewer larger cities would be able to stay in that game. If so, a design flexible enough to be easily expanded could help keep us in the game. Or, if we decide to let that go, a design flexible enough to let us downsize and repurpose some space for other uses could help keep us from having a partially vacant white elephant.

Carcassonne is my all-time favorite board game because it’s quick to learn, has little downtime between turns, has just a bit of luck, and yet still offers plenty of room for strategic thinking. It’s a puzzle that also involves a lot of interaction with your opponents, and it’s different every time out.

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.

Professor emerita of Ceramic Art at Alfred University, the number one ranked ceramic art Master’s program in the country by U.S. News and World Report, Currier was recently named first-place recipient of a 2017 Virginia A. Groot Foundation Grant. Her sculptures are represented in numerous private and public collections, which include the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York City; Renwick Gallery of the National Museum of American Art, Smithsonian Institution; Daum Museum of Contemporary Art in Sedalia, Missouri; Musée des Arts Decoratifs de Montréal; Los Angeles County Museum of Art; Museum of Contemporary Art, Kyung-ju, South Korea; and Hermitage Museum, St. Petersburg, Russia.

In recent years, these crews have survived mishaps that would terrify passengers if they happened on a commercial flight. An engine on fire at 31,000 feet. A pressurization failure that made the cabin feel like the summit of Mount Everest. A broken cockpit windshield over the ocean, hundreds of miles from land. Fuel gushing out from under a navigator's console. A galley fire so intense that crew members compared it to a blowtorch. 

Across all branches, 133 aviators were killed in crashes between 2013 and 2017. Thirty-five more have died during the current fiscal year, which began Oct. 1, 2017. None have been killed in the 55th Wing.

KwikVet founder-brothers Alejandro “Alex” Soriano, 53, and Adrian Soriano, 44, say that while pet owners are clamoring for the service, veterinarians have been slow to sign on so far, citing concerns over a proposed consultation fee of $25 (well below competitors) and the fact that veterinary technicians were not originally part of the service.

“Currier’s sculpture is both a study in balance and an invitation to discovery,” said Nancy Weekly, exhibition curator. As she has stated, her Anamorphosis series reflects, “the interplay of masses and voids. Absence and presence, light and shadow, stasis and motion are subject matter. The dimensional tension and dynamics of human figures found in Greek and Buddhist temple pediments, and most recently, the structural flatness and synthesis of planar shapes in Cubist still-life paintings intrigue me.”
