And so I kept it for many years — until one Christmas not long ago I searched and searched for it and could not find it. Somehow, in the dozens of moves and family separations over the years, it was lost. Yet in my mind I still see it and treasure it — a charming reminder of a caring teacher all those years ago.

The general theory for crimping all types of connectors is to strip a little bit of insulation off the wire. Then, put the connector into a suitably sized space in the jaws, insert the wire, and crimp it down. For non-ratcheting pliers, it’s suggested the connector be re-crimped with the next smallest hole in the jaws.

"Well, now…" Lai shook her head, idly opening her Bearing, scrolling through her feed. "The things I could tell you."

He was later freed and moved to the whaling village of New Bedford, Massachusetts sometime in the 1820′s – where he took up work as a blacksmith.

Varsano finalized the search, and the screen tiled itself into brochure-quality images of aircraft exteriors. “There are 13 suitable planes potentially on the market for you.” By “on the market,” he meant planes that were either actually advertised somewhere or were technically off-market but, as with anything, available at the right price. Varsano scanned over the images. “Should we include an A.C.J. or a B.B.J., or not one of those big ones?” About 20 years ago, in an attempt to capture a share of what was then an increasingly profitable private market, Boeing and Airbus developed imprints of their companies — Boeing Business Jets, or B.B.J., and Airbus Corporate Jets, or A.C.J. — that sell commercial airliners with V.I.P. configurations. These “bizliners” are much larger than a typical private jet, with space for multiple bedrooms and showers or thrones, and use more gas; they can cost from $90 million to $500 million, and as much as $13,000 an hour to run. Individuals, Varsano told me in Geneva, often avoid them because of what the industry calls “ramp presence”: The size and bulbousness of a B.B.J. or an A.C.J. invite class resentment, and, worse, might remind onlookers of the easyJet they flew in on. A Gulfstream is regarded as a more prudent and tasteful choice. The G650, Gulfstream’s flagship product, is currently the skyfaring object of greatest desire, and it is no exaggeration to call the $70 million aircraft the world’s single greatest status commodity. Desire for them is so ardent in part because of their physical elegance — they have a phocine aspect, with a silkily sloping underbelly and large, widely spaced elliptical portholes, with an interior like a conch shell — and in part because they cut a more discreet profile.

On December 22, 2017, President Trump signed into law the budget reconciliation act commonly referred to as the “Tax Cuts and Jobs Act,” or the TCJA, that significantly changes the federal income taxation of business entities. The TCJA, among other things, reduces the corporate income tax rate to 21%, partially limits the deductibility of business interest expense and net operating losses, imposes a one-time tax on unrepatriated earnings from certain foreign subsidiaries, taxes offshore earnings at reduced rates regardless of whether they are repatriated and allows the immediate deduction of certain new investments instead of deductions for depreciation expense over time. We are still evaluating the impact of the TCJA to us. Notwithstanding the reduction in the corporate income tax rate, we cannot yet conclude that the overall impact of the TCJA to us is positive. The TCJA could adversely affect our business, operating results and financial condition, as well as the value of an investment in our common stock.

Distribution Agreement dated April 14, 2010, between IPSCO and Pyramid Tubular Products, L.P., as amended

We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the JOBS Act, and we intend to take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies, including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. We intend to take advantage of these reporting exemptions until we are no longer an emerging growth company, as described below. We cannot predict if investors will find our common stock less attractive because we will rely on these exemptions. If some investors find our common stock less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for our common stock and our stock price may be more volatile.

the aggregate, accounted for 68% of our total pipe sales. In addition, three of our customers, B&L Pipeco Services, Inc., CTAP LLC and Sooner Pipe LLC, each accounted for more than 10% of our revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2018. We expect this concentration of customers to continue for the foreseeable future, and consistent with industry practice, we do not have purchase commitments from most of our major customers. In the event that our relationship with any of these major customers were to deteriorate, or these customers were to cease operations, to terminate or downsize their relationship or tighten their terms of trade with us, this may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects. In addition, some of our major customers may be similarly affected by changes in industry specific conditions given their focus on the oil and gas industry. Further, given the customer concentration we are potentially exposed to large individual credit risk losses in the event one or more of our major customers experience a deterioration in financial performance or financial condition and are unable to meet their obligations to us, which may have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operation, financial condition and prospects.

We have maintained a cash-based long-term incentive plan (the “LTIP”), pursuant to which our named executive officers are eligible to earn additional cash awards based on our financial performance over specified performance periods. Each participant in the LTIP is assigned a target award level and awards can be earned from 0% to 200% depending on performance. To the extent earned, awards are paid in the first quarter of the year following the end of the applicable performance period, which for the performance period ending on December 31, 2017 was a single one year performance period. For the performance period ending December 31, 2017, awards were based on our absolute and relative return on capital employed as compared to a comparator
