Broad footprint of strategic locations that allows us to quickly respond to customer needs. We operate 10 production facilities strategically located across the United States and an additional facility in Alberta, Canada, with mills and finishing facilities in close proximity to the most active oil and natural gas producing basins in the United States and Canada, including the Permian Basin, the Marcellus/Utica and the Mid-Continent. Our broad geographic reach with diversified facilities across the United States and Canada allows us to quickly respond to evolving customer needs, attract new customers and further strengthen our existing customer relationships. Our ability to thread steel pipe at facilities strategically located near our end-users’ operations, our flexibility across pipe sizes and our inventory control allow us to quickly meet shifting customer demands.

Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation authorizes the Board, subject to any limitations prescribed by law and in our stockholders agreement, without further stockholder approval, to establish and to issue from time to time one or more classes or series of preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share, covering up to an aggregate of 30,000,000 shares of preferred stock. Each class or series of preferred stock will cover the number of shares and will have the powers, preferences, rights, qualifications, limitations and restrictions determined by the Board, which may include, among others, dividend rights, liquidation preferences, voting rights, conversion rights, preemptive rights and redemption rights. A series of preferred stock authorized by the Board may be superior or rank equally or be junior to any other series of preferred stock to the extent permitted by law.

That reality helped form the role of Celeste. Portman is “quite precise, thorough,” says Corbet. “I’ve been working for 20 years, so I can say with some conviction—Natalie is the best actor that I’ve ever worked with. It’s not hyperbole. It’s something really incredible when someone comes in and they color in the lines, but the color is denser and more vibrant than what you had initially imagined.”

Additional information: Martha DeLeon was the second African-American woman to receive and patent for her invention. Her invention was an early precursor of the steam tables that we see at food buffets worldwide today.

Oddly enough, I knew that, in NASA, spiral wrap is forbidden, and that the note was in that guide without reading it.

“I’ll buy one some day,” Varsano said. “You know, you work in a shoe shop, you should have nice shoes.” He looked down at his own shoes, expensive but heavily scuffed with signs of extended wear.

Abstract: A method for managing plan problems across planning cycles includes accessing a first plan generated in a first planning session of a first planning cycle, identifying one or more first plan problems reflected in the first plan, and storing and persisting plan problem data associated with the one or more first plan problems for access in one or more successive planning cycles. The method includes accessing a second plan generated in a second planning session of a second planning cycle subsequent to the first planning cycle, identifying one or more second plan problems reflected in the second plan, and comparing the one or more first plan problems identified for the first planning cycle with the one or more second plan problems identified for the second planning cycle. The method includes determining, for each second plan problem identified for the second planning cycle, whether the second plan problem corresponds to any first plan problem identified for the first planning cycle. The method includes updating the plan problem data for the corresponding first plan problem to reflect the identification of the second plan problem for the second planning cycle if a second plan problem identified for the second planning cycle corresponds to a first plan problem identified for the first planning cycle. The method includes storing and persisting plan problem data associated with the new plan problem for access in one or more successive planning cycles if a second plan problem identifi

On December 12, 2016, Ultra entered into a license agreement with OS&T, OFS International and Threading and Precision Manufacturing LLC, or Threading, a subsidiary of OFS International, pursuant to which Ultra granted to each of OS&T, OFS International and Threading a non-exclusive license to market, distribute, offer for sale and sell in the United States oilfield casing, tubing and other products patented by Ultra and manufactured by licensed manufacturing facilities.

We require substantial quantities of raw materials to produce steel pipe. Our principal raw material requirements include scrap metal and ferroalloys for use in our in-house steel-making operations and steel coils for producing welded pipe. The demand for the principal raw materials we utilize is generally correlated with macroeconomic fluctuations, which are in turn affected by global economic conditions. These prices are influenced by many factors beyond our control, including oil and natural gas prices, worldwide production capacity, capacity utilization rates, inflation, exchange rates, trade barriers and improvements in steel-making processes.

Oh and fuck small businesses too. Each of my bosses are on their spouse’s health insurance and I’m left to go fuck myself.
