Potential Pitfalls in Ultrasonic Plastic Welding | 2014-03-01 | Pulse Jet Valves

"Traditionally, you were called into an interview to interact face-to-face and could get the sense that maybe you were being assessed unfairly. A lot of case law involved these stray remarks," Barocas says. "All that is missing now. We have no direct interaction with anyone to arouse suspicion."

In the space of a few short months, Elon Musk has gone from being the internet's tech darling to one of the most parodied personalities online.

Here are the day’s first customers. They’re pensioners who can afford a treat, rather Ashkenazi-looking in their Birkenstocks, Reeboks, and New Balances. Wiping her hands, Hadar goes to serve them at the counter next to the signed, stamped, dated, and framed kashrut certificate and the individual and group photos of team members current and former. The certificate vouches for the place and its products being not just kosher but ultra-kosher, issued as it is by Agudat Yisrael, a major ḥaredi political, educational, and welfare conglomerate. She takes cash and makes change, or swipes plastic, while Mordechai and Levi do the bagging and Sergio puts together the morning deliveries and Nadav wheels hot breads into the alley to cool and Russell supervises as Malcolm X humps 30-kilo sacks of flour down to the mixers from upstairs. Slight as Malcolm X is, he’s a brute.

“Will there be some assessment of the areas where the ground and earth has been weakened by this earthquake to recommend either not rebuilding or possibly turning some into areas where there should be no rebuilding at all?” one resident asked U.S. Sen. Lisa Murkowski during a public meeting on earthquake damage last week at an Eagle River coffee shop.

The exhibition is fittingly presented in the Sylvia L. Rosen Gallery for Fine Art in Craft Media, named for the Burchfield Penney’s patron whose generous support makes the biennial exhibition possible, as well as collection development. Past recipients of the Langley H. Kenzie Award include Bethany Krull (2010), Karen Donnellan (2012), Jesse Walp (2014), and Jozef Bajus (2016), who respectively work with ceramics, glass, wood, and fiber with recycled materials.

Brian Scully (vocals/acoustic guitar), Jon Silva (lead guitar), James Zaner (drums), Sam Bouve (bass) and Ryan Jackson (keys/guitars) rip through shows with frenetic energy, perhaps best described as country music, tinged with Americana heartland vibes, and played with a bar-friendly edge-of-punk rowdiness. Everyone sings along. The patrons are as much a part of the show as the band itself. The result is a live band that manages to make every show — from small clubs to the largest of festivals — feel a little like a reunion of like-minded souls at their favorite local bar.

One plane experienced oxygen leaks five times in nine days between May 16 and May 25, 2016. At least four of them occurred in flight.

Drawing some inspiration from nature’s palette observed from her Allegany County home and studio, Currier creates surfaces reminiscent of mottled boulders, slate and rust, as well as intangible fog.

Look over there at Mullah’s well-reviewed felafel joint and that string of pennants each marked with the Star of David and the number 70, blue and white. Absolutely—in a few weeks the resurrected Jewish state will celebrate its 70th birthday. Is there going to be a Jewish state in 2048? Will it make it to a century, far less the proverbial 120 years of age? But what an unlikely success story it’s been so far!

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.

The Burchfield Penney Langley H. Kenzie Award was created to honor Mrs. Kenzie’s dedication as an artist and to support others like her. It recognizes an outstanding artist from the biennial, juried exhibition, Art in Craft Media, by granting the recipient a solo exhibition in the following year. The award is supported by the Langley H. Kenzie Award Endowment, established by her daughters, Rachel King and Mary Mahley.

"When I have looked at technical reports for these human resources big data companies, they provide little information and data-driven findings about the reliability, validity and fairness of their measures," says Fred Oswald, psychology professor at Rice University and former president of the Society for Industrial and Organizational Psychology.
