We have entered or will enter into written indemnification agreements with our directors and executive officers. Under these proposed agreements, if an officer or director makes a claim of indemnification to us, either a majority of the independent directors or independent legal counsel selected by the independent directors must review the relevant facts and make a determination whether the officer or director has met the standards of conduct under Delaware law that would permit (under Delaware law) and require (under the indemnification agreement) us to indemnify the officer or director.

Freight Costs. We transport our steel billets and pipe between the facilities where we produce and finish our pipe. In connection with the transportation of these products, we pay freight costs to transport the products to and within the United States and Canada. Freight costs accounted for approximately 4.5% and 4.1% of our total costs incurred for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and the year ended December 31, 2017, respectively. We also purchase steel coil, scrap and other materials and import seamless OCTG and line pipe from our affiliated companies in the TMK Group. We recognize the cost of the inbound freight in the cost of raw materials and the imported pipe.

The motor had a short circuit, probably in the head. Wire insulation can can degrade and shrink in such an old motor leaving portions of bare wire. If one touches metal, the fuse will blow.

The diminutive greeting, only 3-by-4 inches, bears on its face an impressed basket of poinsettia, a tiny, faded red bow and an unimposing declaration of three words: “A Merry Christmas.” The interior message is equally unassuming: “Accept my Yuletide greetings with mistletoe and holly. May fortune smile upon your way and make your Christmas jolly.” On the last page, inscribed in the tiniest hand imaginable, appears the sender’s name.

From the late 1960s into the early ’80s, travelers and smugglers brought seeds of this amazing new “hash plant” home, and the first domestically grown Afghan cannabis sprang up in Western gardens. These early home growers were already familiar with New World landrace varieties such as Colombian, Jamaican and Mexican, along with Old World Indian, Nepali, Thai and even African. The biodiversity of introduced landraces was at its zenith.

In March 2017, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update (ASU) No. 2017-07, Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost (ASU 2017-07). This update requires that an employer reports the service cost component in the same line item as other compensation costs and separately from other components of net benefit cost. ASU 2017-07 is effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted the standards update beginning January 1, 2018. The adoption of the standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet and results of operations. The service cost component is included in the compensation costs and is part of the general and administrative expenses in the statement of operations.

Environmental pre-construction and operating permits are, or may be, required for certain of the Company’s operations, and such permits are subject to modification, renewal and revocation. It is likely that we will be subject to increasingly stringent environmental standards in the future, particularly under air quality and water quality laws. It is also likely that we will be required to make additional expenditures, which could be significant, relating to environmental matters such as pollution controls, on an ongoing basis. As our operations involve, and have involved, the handling, transport and distribution of materials that are, or could be classified as, toxic or hazardous or otherwise as pollutants, there is some risk of contamination and environmental damage inherent in our operations and the materials and products we handle and transport. Consequently, we are subject to environmental laws that impose liability for historical or new releases of hazardous substances. The costs of remedying such conditions may be significant, and remediation obligations could adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations and prospects. We are also subject to a variety of health and safety laws and regulations dealing with occupational health and safety.
