After spending 15 years on the west coast working as a massage therapist before getting her MFA in Applied Craft and Design, she fell in love (conveniently with someone who had a rent-stabilized pre-war apartment) and made the move to Brooklyn. Though she’s worked with ceramics on and off over the past 20 years, the smokeable objects came about three years ago simply out of personal necessity.

The world is a complicated, messy place…but can we talk about how I look in pictures? There are people who are naturals in front of the camera and people who are not—and I am most definitely the latter. It is not a real problem, to be sure—but it’s also not not a problem? Social media demands a more personal touch these days, a photographic presence (#picsoritdidnthappen). Sure, you could post a photo of the Taj Mahal, but I’m guessing your followers would rather see you in front of it. I know my own engagement spikes when I put myself in the shot.

It was DuVernay’s next feature, however, that got everyone else’s attention. Middle of Nowhere, about a woman trying to navigate having a boyfriend in prison, was made for $200,000 and nabbed DuVernay the directing award for a US drama at the 2012 Sundance Film Festival. It also starred a then-up-and-coming actor named David Oyelowo, who was about to be in Lee Daniels’ The Butler with Winfrey. At the time, Oyelowo had been trying to make a movie about Martin Luther King Jr. with himself as the lead. He implored Winfrey to check out Middle of Nowhere. She watched it; it reminded her of the formation of another relationship.

an annual equity-based award granted under our 2018 Plan, having a value as of the grant date of approximately $120,000.

In addition, in 2016 we launched a new marketing model focused on providing broader technical solutions and closer work with end-users of our products and distribution partners to synchronize production, logistics and inventories with demand in the fields, which we refer to as our “regional go-to-market” model. Customers working under this arrangement have the ability to reserve production capacity and place orders with minimum supply lead times and for the quantity and type of product required based on the latest drilling program. This marketing model allowed us to increase our customer base by 27% during the six months ended June 30, 2018 and by 24% during the year ended December 31, 2017. The higher level of sales predictability allows us, our customers and distributors to exercise better control over production costs. In addition to our new marketing model, we also are growing our digital go-to-business model, including a continuous pipe tracking program that is in advanced customer testing, and an automated mill test reporting process that is now operational.

Mindy Kaling says that when DuVernay approached her about playing a role in Wrinkle, it was one of the first times she’d ever been sought out for a part. Kaling had created her own lane with The Mindy Project, a sitcom she wrote, produced, and starred in. “When you’re so used to creating your own roles,” she says, “it was very flattering and exciting.”

Abstract: System and method embodiments are provided for signaling reference signals and Channel State Information (CSI) feedback for wireless communications. An embodiment method implemented by a user equipment (UE) for wireless communications measurements and CSI feedback includes receiving, from a network, at least one of a first index that indicates a corresponding non-zero-power CSI reference signal (CSI-RS) resource, a second index that indicates a corresponding zero-power CSI-RS resource, a third index that indicates a corresponding CSI-RS resource for interference measurement, and a fourth index that indicates a corresponding channel quality indicator (CQI) report configuration. The method also includes receiving, from the network, at least one of a fifth index that indicates a corresponding periodic CQI report in accordance with the CQI report configuration indicated by the fourth index, and a sixth index that indicates a corresponding aperiodic CQI report in accordance with the CQI report configuration indicated by the fourth index.

Integral threaded connections are threaded together without the use of a coupling. For integral threaded connections, one end of the pipe is enlarged slightly and the other end is shrunk slightly prior to threading. The difference in the size of the ends facilitates the connection without the use of a coupling. Integral threaded connections allow for a slimmer profile and are typically used in premium connections.
