Inventory levels of steel pipe at manufacturer, distributor and customer locations can vary significantly from period to period and from region to region. These fluctuations can affect demand for our products. During periods of high demand, industry participants increase the production of steel pipe and customers accumulate inventory. Conversely, during periods of low investment in drilling and other activities, distributors and customers draw from existing inventory. Particularly, when oil and natural gas prices fall, which has generally been the case over the last several years, oil and natural gas companies are generally expected to reduce purchases of additional steel pipe. A significant or sustained reduction in purchases, as we experienced in 2016 when our sales volume by tons decreased by 34%, would have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operation and financial condition and, in certain circumstances, may require us to temporarily reduce production levels or idle operations at our facilities as a result of a decrease in the demand for our products. When we decide to reduce or idle production, reduced operating rates may be necessary for several quarters or, in certain cases, longer and cause us to incur costs, including the expenses of the outages and the restart of these facilities following a recovery in demand for our products.

Part of the purpose of the witch hunt and its attendant wave of state-sponsored misogyny was to make women’s bodies a site of unknown and unknowable terror in need of regulation and control—and to make those controlling the bodies wealthy. Despite the gains of the women’s liberation movement, we live with that legacy today: think about the money Harvey Weinstein amassed from the work of actors he assaulted, or think about the restriction of abortion rights and simultaneous lack of affordable childcare. Hexing Kavanaugh—a man who threw a tantrum when accused of unwanted and even violent sexual advances, a man who may help overturn Roe v. Wade—makes perfect historical and political sense.

Due to the fixed nature of the bar, an axle also forces an athlete to fight to maintain position and resist the bar’s natural rotation as they clean it. For most people, the axle clean will be performed with less weight than a clean with your standard barbell. Once in the rack position, the athlete has the option of how they want to transfer it overhead. They are able to press, push press, or jerk the weight. This motion differs slightly from the standard barbell, as the axle will not flex and provide oscillation like a standard barbell. When timed correctly and performed properly the axle press can increase the efficiency of the a standard barbell press.

Pharmocann has been operating since 2008. In those 10 years, it has become one of the most trusted medical cannabis producers in the country, servicing 4,500 patients monthly. Now, it has its sights set on becoming a player in the international market and is developing a line of Hydro-Gel dermatological products. In this candid interview, Shaked, Pharmocann’s head of cultivation, shares the challenges of expanding internationally, why the farm only chooses to produce 11 strains, the type of automation and beneficial insects the farm uses, what Hydro-Gel is, and much more.

It was only the soft bing-bong chime that indicated our initial descent over the rumpled and barren landscape of southern Nevada that even remotely recalled the experience of commercial flight. Otherwise, the experience felt nothing at all like being on an airliner. In fact, it didn’t quite feel like flying at all. It was more like sitting in a comfortable leather armchair in a pleasingly cool and well-appointed room that at some point incidentally rose above the clouds and stayed there for a little while. Many of the people I spoke to in Geneva talked about private aviation as a variety of peak experience — and such an inarticulable experience was, after all, why Varsano told me that I could never understand private aviation without an experiential component — but that wasn’t quite right. It was if anything the opposite of a peak experience, distinguished not by anything explicitly euphoric or divine but by its total coruscating absence of everything that makes contemporary commercial air travel a pricking trial of alienation and diminishment.

My cost for the coming year is jumping by $135 a month, to $517. The cheaper options are also more than I pay now. The least expensive is $403. Like last year, those cheap plans don’t cover prescriptions, and have horrendous deductibles. There are new plans, that part was true. But when certain companies come in with their cheapest plan starting at $1000, one must wonder why they even bothered.
