You said it perfectly. Relieved to see a sensible contribution to this thread! You are right, most people don’t understand the benefits of 3 chain…

After intermission, de Waart and the orchestra demonstrated why the Elgar symphony, premiered in 1908, is not to be taken lightly. For one thing, it’s been 25 years since this orchestra has played it.

Every Christmas, the ornament takes up a special place of honor in her holiday decorations. She hangs the orb in the “most prominent spot on the most prominent tree in the house,” she wrote.

We are an “emerging growth company” and we cannot be certain if the reduced disclosure requirements applicable to emerging growth companies will make our common stock less attractive to investors.

The sound of the ship grew, not just the humming in the walls, but deeper, in her ears, the oscillating waves low, building. She leaned her shoulder into the wall and felt it through her body, her hips and legs, inside. She rolled onto her stomach and pushed her pelvis into the foam that wasn’t foam but some other moon rock thing, then slid to the edge, but it wasn’t what she wanted.

Our amended and restated bylaws will provide that the authorized number of directors will, subject to the provisions of the stockholders agreement, be fixed from time to time by the Board pursuant to a resolution adopted by a majority of the whole board. In addition, our amended and restated bylaws will provide that, in general, vacancies on the board may be filled by a majority of directors in office, although less than a quorum.

We may incur additional indebtedness or issue additional equity securities to execute our long-term growth strategy, which may reduce our profitability or result in significant dilution to our stockholders.

Those of us who write and tweet and hot take about the NBA tend to treat these incidents in binary terms, as if they exist solely in the realm of conversation: Who started it? Whose fault was it? Who won? Is this GOOD or is this BAD? Were the suspensions fair? But for the teams involved, it’s a real thing that happened, with real (as opposed to theatrical) anger on both sides, and just as normal people don’t go right back to normal after a fist fight, NBA players, who are human beings and who get in fist fights just as infrequently as the rest of us, do not either. The fight over the weekend in Los Angeles – it doesn’t matter who won, but it does matter. It’s silly to say a well-timed brawl can’t affect team chemistry when brawls literally impact brain chemistry. It’s impossible to measure, of course – no one has studied the impact of a fight on a team’s subsequent win-loss record – but there is a pretty strong anecdotal evidence that guys who back each other up in a brawl tend to get closer as a result. It may not be the most enlightened way to bond, but in the NBA, wins are more important than being woke. 

On the other hand, Afghan landraces originated in a dry climate with few fungi, providing scant evolutionary pressure to develop resistance to fungal infection and resulting in populations that proved highly susceptible to fungal attack. Indoor grow room and greenhouse atmospheres are often considerably more humid than the outside air, and when varieties of Afghan heritage are grown indoors, they are most often compromised by pests and pathogens. This susceptibility has proven to be a dominant trait in present-day hybrids, and “OG Kush” and its relatives within the “Kush” family (as well as most other modern drug cannabis hybrids, whether rich in THC, CBD or both target compounds) have inherited this economically threatening trait. Today, susceptibility to these pests can result in catastrophic crop losses that will prove to be unsustainable in a normalized agricultural cannabis industry.

Connections can be broadly divided into API connections, premium connections and semi-premium connections. Connections in the United States are standardized by the API; however, certain complex wells require non-standardized, semi-premium and premium connections that have better tightening properties, a higher tolerance for bending and are able to withstand high pressures and temperatures.

Abstract: Methods and systems enable optimized placement of wavelength shifters in optical networks. The wavelength shifters may include O-E-O regenerators for a single wavelength and all optical wavelength shifters for one or more wavelengths. An auxiliary graph is used to represent various links in a provisioned optical path. By applying cost values to each of the links, different types of optimizations for network resource utilization may be realized.
