There are many factors to consider when facilitating a preventative maintenance program. The biopharmaceutical industry is fairly unique in that valves are used in many different applications with different exposures to temperatures and harsh fluids. Different applications for valves can include steam-in-place (SIP) or high-temperature sterilization; cleaning in place (CIP) where caustics and acids act as detergents; cold processing where purification is usually below ambient conditions (2-8 °C typically); and purification processes, such as chromatography and filtration. Many of these processes run in sequence or through the same pipes, which means the valves are exposed to a wide range of application temperatures and conditions.

Zaman’s practice stems from a desire to bring different, and at times socially opposing, cultures together to highlight the beauty in each, and to call to attention a need for understanding. Oddly enough this is communicated via language that isn’t understandable, but that exact illegibility is what helps create a universal experience. Unable to read the text, the viewer is left to contemplate the intent of the artist and to glean meaning by focusing on the layers, both in the form of monochromatic and colorful applications of paint. There is room for both intellectual reads and more instinctive responses.

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.

On April 30, 2015, an RC-135V Rivet Joint was slated to support an Air Force special operations forces exercise off the coast of Florida. There were 27 airmen on board.

By the early 1970s, Buffalo leaders were ready to jump in the game. But city taxpayers? Not so much. They circulated petitions to force a referendum on the spending, and defeated it in 1973. Mayor Stanley Makowski, not to be deterred, reached out to Erie County and the New York State Urban Development Corporation to get the project done. By the end of his single term, it was under construction.

The litany of maintenance and safety problems reflect an underfunding of the Air Force that’s gone on for years, said U.S. Rep. Don Bacon, a retired brigadier general who commanded the 55th Wing from 2011 to 2012 and now represents Nebraska’s 2nd District in Congress.
