Our produced and imported semi-finished green OCTG are heat-treated, threaded, coupled, when necessary, and inspected for quality control. Our OCTG undergo specific tests, which include extensive ultrasonic and electromagnetic non-destructive testing inspections of our casing and tubing products and luminescent magnetic fluid testing of our pipe ends and couplings. The outside surfaces of our pipe are covered with protective lacquer, and the threads are protected with anti-corrosion treatments and thread protectors.

Dee reached out, expecting an electrical shock, but found it cold and soft, almost like an old sponge.

Start by looking at pictures of yourself, both those you find flattering and—this is important—ones you don’t. Do a full-body scan and identify what went right or wrong. Did you love your facial expression? What were you doing with that right arm? Sturino went through a similar exercise when she started her blog three years ago, and then she began experimenting. “The pros are always doing tiny angles and shifts on their body to find their best look in their pose,” Sturino says. Now she knows exactly what works for her: popping her right hip forward, with her left knee out and her left shoulder up, lifting from her core and turning her face slightly away from the camera with her chin pointed down. That kind of posing specificity is definitely #goals.

“North Dakota Senate” – First-term Sen. Heidi Heitkamp (D-ND) has now announced she will vote “no” on Supreme Court pick Brett Kavanaugh. She was one of the last holdouts, and she is one of three Democrats who voted “yes” on President Trump’s first Supreme Court appointment Neil Gorsuch. Heitkamp is in a tough reelection fight. The latest RCP composite poll has Rep. Kevin Cramer (R-ND) with a 51 percent to 42 percent lead over Senator Heitkamp. Realistically in a solid red-state she might have scored points by backing Kavanaugh, but being a maverick bucking the trend may cut both ways. In fairness – politics aside – she may just have cast a principled vote, letting the chips fall where they may.

“We want readers to know that those bodies are not ours; they have been distorted from their natural beauty,” Mendes wrote. “We prefer to see our bodies the way they actually are. I’m not interested in having a slimmer waist, I’m more than satisfied with the one that I already have.”

“This is a town that hadn’t had an influx of new jobs in a long time. We were bringing 45 new jobs, and we asked ourselves what part of the population we could affect the most. With such a high veteran population, we decided to hire veterans as 30 percent of our workforce. We held a job fair and placed a focus on veterans at the fair. We committed $25,000 to refurbishing a veterans’ memorial in Lock Haven, Pa.

AmJohnny has shared an Instructable for bending PVC pipe, using a hair dryer and 1/2-inch drain auger. The drain auger is inserted into the PVC to prevent it from kinking as it’s being bent–kinked PVC pipe is extremely difficult to get straight again. Use a hair dryer to heat up a spot on the PVC pipe and slowly apply pressure on the area you want to bend. 

We expect the initial public offering price will be between $             and $             per share. Currently, no public market exists for the shares. We have been approved to list our common stock on the New York Stock Exchange, or NYSE, subject to official notice of issuance, under the symbol “IPSC.” We are an “emerging growth company” as that term is used in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, or JOBS Act, and will be subject to reduced public company reporting requirements. See “Summary—Our Emerging Growth Company Status.” Following the completion of this offering, we will be a “controlled company” as defined under the corporate governance rules of the NYSE because PAO TMK will continue to control approximately         % of the voting power of our common stock (or approximately         % of the voting power if the underwriters exercise in full their option to purchase additional shares of common stock). See “Management—Status as a Controlled Company.”

The stockholders agreement will terminate upon the earliest to occur of (a) the dissolution of the Company, (b) the date on which PAO TMK ceases to beneficially own at least 5% of the outstanding shares of our common stock and (c) the written agreement of the Company and PAO TMK.

Andrei Zimin has served as a director of IPSCO Tubulars Inc. since September 2008. Mr. Zimin has also served as the Chief Legal Counsel of PAO TMK since 2012 and is also a member of the board of directors of several Russian and other foreign entities within the TMK Group. Prior to his current roles, Mr. Zimin served as Head of the Corporate Projects Department and Head of the Corporate Ownership Department of PAO TMK from 2004 to 2012. In 2003, Mr. Zimin graduated with a law degree from the Moscow State Institute of International Relations of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation. We believe that Mr. Zimin’s extensive legal knowledge and industry experience make him well suited to serve as a member of the Board.

In October, Portman took the stage at Variety’s Power of Women event, and advocated for gender parity across industries. She listed actionable steps, including “Gossip Well,” encouraging the room to “stop the rhetoric that a woman is crazy or difficult. If a man says to you that a woman is crazy or difficult, ask him, ‘What bad thing did you do to her?’ ”
