For the encore Ohlsson chose more Beethoven, the second movement of the Piano Sonata No. 8 in C minor, “Pathetique.” Pacing each note of the quivering melody like a steady stream of tears, his performance achieved that rare beauty that happens when sadness mingles with a subtle but undeniable touch of hope.

Do backpackers really need strong arms? Consider this: Weak shoulders can lead to upper back pain, as well as neck and shoulder injuries from carrying a pack. Plus, you need upper body strength to use trekking poles, which can take up to 25 percent of the load off your knees. Do these exercises two to three times per week for two months before your next big trip to hit the trail with guns blazing.

When Jaz Sinclair arrives on a chilly October morning for what she knows will be a four-hour cover shoot, she could easily hunker down in hair and makeup, retreat into her phone, and hide in plain sight. Perhaps prompted by fear of that, someone has already made sure there’s high-energy, please-let-the-celebrity-be-in-a-good-mood music playing in the background. This proves unnecessary for two reasons. First of all, you don’t get the sense that Sinclair does bad moods. Secondly, she’s already asked if she can queue up her own playlist. She’s got a soundtrack in mind for the day, you see, and as she takes over the aux cord at House of Yes, the carnivalesque Brooklyn ~nightlife destination~ where the shoot is going down, she doesn’t seem at all anxious that her mix won’t be a crowd-pleaser. Because why wouldn’t it be?

At an industry trade fair in Geneva last May, I overheard an industry analyst explain Varsano’s storefront to a Russian lawyer: “It’s like you go to his shop to buy an airplane the way you might buy a dress or a car.” The booths at the fair seemed to make this comparison plausible; while some of them offered pragmatic aviation solutions (soundproofing, flameproofing, protecting your cockpit from laser attack), there were also great billowing capes of sample leather upholsteries called Monarch and Noble and Duchess, and honeycomb composites made to resemble the fine grain of any protected wood, and vendors that offered bespoke seat-perforation patterns. Varsano, however, finds the analogy flippant. In a 2013 interview, shortly after his shop opened, Varsano told the BBC: “The view that it’s all about flying off on a skiing trip with Champagne and girls is just so untrue.” For Varsano, an aircraft is a practical necessity — a “business tool” or a “time machine.”

Additional information: Joseph Winters was a Black American abolitionist and inventor. He is best known for his patent for a wagon-mounted fire escape ladder.

After Varsano sold a plane to the corporate raider Nelson Peltz in the mid-’80s, he went to work for him in the world of private equity, where he developed a halfhearted fondness for the Gekko manner. Varsano coordinated Peltz’s purchase and overhaul of High Winds, DeWitt Wallace’s estate in Bedford, N.Y.; Peltz infuriated the local community by flying his helicopter to Manhattan almost daily. (A representative for Peltz disputed Varsano’s account of their relationship but declined to provide specifics.) When Varsano and a subsequent boss acquired some fast-food companies in the early 2000s, he found himself in charge of the developing-market expansion of the Long John Silver’s brand. Each time he visited the offices of Russian oligarchs or Middle Eastern royals, he found they invariably displayed a model of their private planes. They loved the opportunity to talk about them with someone as knowledgeable as Varsano, and he realized that he had stumbled into an enormous opportunity. Fifteen years ago, 85 percent of the private planes in the world were in the United States, but he could see that was changing. The deals he does today bear out this shift. He outlined one example: “Russian owner, Panamanian shell company, Swiss-registered airplane, selling to a Chinese corporation, with the inspection in Switzerland, lawyers in Germany and the U.K. and the escrow agent in the U.S.”

In connection with the offering, certain of the underwriters or securities dealers may distribute prospectuses by electronic means, such as e-mail.

"You worked in porn, right?" He asked it like he was commenting on her hair, something he was supposed to say.

OCTG pipe is connected in order to be run downhole through the use of threaded connections. Generally, there are three classifications of connections: API connections, semi-premium connections and premium connections. API connections are governed by API specifications and are typically the simplest type of connection. Unlike premium connections, API connections may be threaded without restrictions. Semi-premium connections are typically proprietary to each producer and are often designed to be stronger and have higher torque capability than standard API connections. Premium connections, like semi-premium connections, are typically proprietary to each producer and are often designed to be stronger and have higher torque capability than standard API connections. In addition, premium connections employ a hermetic metal-to-metal seal capable of being gas tight. However, there are typically certain threaded restrictions for premium connections.
