ASSEMBLY: Mike, you’ve been with Bendix since 1995. How do your operations today compare to what they were back then?

“On Thursday morning (March 15, 2018), at 9am, the Design Build Team of MCM and Figg, convened a meeting at the MCM trailer, located on the construction site, to discuss a crack that appeared on the structure,” the FIU statement said. “The Figg engineer of record delivered a technical presentation regarding the crack and concluded that there were no safety concerns and the crack did not compromise the structural integrity of the bridge. This meeting lasted approximately two hours and included FIU and FDOT [Florida Department of Transportation] representatives,” it concluded.

Although crews have smelled electrical fumes or seen smoke aboard 55th Wing jets numerous times in the past few years, fire has never broken out inside the airplane.

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.

I was wrong. Yes, the lack of commute, flexible schedule, and no-makeup-and-sweatpants dress code are undeniable perks, but now that WFH is my MO, I’ve discovered the days I spend entirely at home—no research trips to the library or breakfast meetings—are actually my least productive. I’m focused and efficient at coffeeshops and bookstores, but not from my second bedroom. Over the past 24 months, I’ve tried a variety of tricks: I’ve organized (and reorganized) my schedule in myriad ways. I’ve tested out some common productivity hacks (e.g., the Pomodoro Technique of 25-minute increments of focused work followed by short breaks). Nothing has solved the problem, though, because what I’ve come to realize is that my issue is working alone. Without actual humans to converse with, my phone becomes my water cooler, connecting me with the news and gossip of the day. Instead of taking healthy breaks, like walking around the block, I fall down the social media rabbit hole—or start eyeing that pile of laundry—and lose motivation.

To cap off the event at 9:30 p.m. there will be a special count down with In Jest with Nels Ross, followed by a confetti countdown and balloon drop.

"These planes are not safe to fly. They're not maintained properly," Sarris said. "They've got a crisis in (these aircraft), and they're not dealing with it."

Their debut live album, After the Parade, cracked four Billboard Country and Heatseeker charts in 2018, and a newly recorded album is on the way. Always good for a draw, Dalton & The Sheriffs have been chosen to open for artists such as Sam Hunt, Lee Brice and Old Dominion, and the band has earned their own fervent headline following throughout New England. In addition to packing them in at prestigious venues like Paradise Rock Club and the House of Blues, Dalton and the Sheriffs quickly sold out four sets in one fall Nashville weekend, and 2019 will see this tremendous live band expand their fan base coast to coast.

“If the world was perfect, we would like new aircraft,” Bacon said. “There’s more on our plate than we can pay for.”

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.
