The piece’s many layers and immersive textures were in good hands with de Waart, a protege of Leonard Bernstein in the ’60s whose distinguished career includes top honors in Australia and his native Holland. His right hand stuck largely to the vertical axis, every so often popping his elbow out at a 45-degree angle for added emphasis. And any time he stretched out his left hand was a sure signal he meant business.

3. Ideally, you will use a titanium drill bit to cut into the fastener. Drill at a low speed with mild pressure and allow the drill bit to do its work. We’ve begun drilling with a 1/8-inch bit to get started.

Abstract: A cloaking device includes cloaking region boundary planes oriented non-planar to each other, each of the cloaking region boundary planes having an outward facing mirror surface and an inward facing opaque surface. The cloaking device includes a cloaking region bounded at least partially by the inward facing opaque surfaces of the cloaking region boundary planes. Half mirrors are spaced apart from and generally parallel to the outward facing mirror surfaces such that a half mirror is spaced apart from and generally parallel to each outward facing mirror surface. Light from an object on an object-side of the cloaking device is directed around an article within the cloaking region and forms an image on an image-side of the cloaking device such the article appears transparent to an observer looking towards the object.

Our operations benefit from our broad, strategically positioned geographic footprint, which supports our ability to supply seamless and welded OCTG to the most active major oil and gas basins in the United States and Canada. We own and operate 11 production facilities in the United States and Canada that produce a wide range of OCTG in various sizes and grades and together offer approximately 1.5 million tons of annual steel pipe production capacity, approximately 1.5 million tons of annual threading capacity and 674,000 tons of annual heat treating capacity. We have finishing facilities in close proximity to our end-users’ E&P operations, which allows us to provide our customers with customized technical solutions and to synchronize our production and logistics with evolving demands. We also import seamless OCTG and line pipe in sizes that we do not produce domestically from the TMK Group.

On December 5, 2016, IPSCO entered into a services agreement with TMK Premium, pursuant to which IPSCO agreed to perform certain threaded connections testing services and other scientific research and design work objects testing for TMK Premium. This agreement terminates on December 31, 2017. We have recorded approximately $0 and $0.3 million in revenues under this agreement for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and the year ended December 31, 2016, respectively.

“If you’re going for a license, you need to take an all-or-nothing approach. Don’t just stick your toe in. Jump in and put together a good, strong team. If you don’t, you’re not going to win. You are going up against entities that have won in other states or gotten graded in the top one to 10 applicants in other states. They will take that expertise and experience from state to state until they are licensed everywhere.”

New competitors in the seamless OCTG industry face high barriers to entry, including significant project lead times, substantial start-up capital expenditures, the required effort and expense to develop proprietary connections and skilled management. The completion of a new seamless mill capable of OCTG production can take up to three years before production can be brought to market. The initial creation of seamless OCTG capacity can cost approximately $3,000 per ton of capacity, implying a total investment of up to $900 million to generate the minimal capacity of 300,000 tons. New OCTG competitors also require proprietary connections, which are costly to produce or to acquire from a third-party. Additionally, an experienced management team and skilled engineers and workers are required for prompt execution of equipment ramp up and the start of production.

Twenty-one years ago, my mother, my husband, my 15-month old son and I went to Toys “R” Us to buy a plastic sandbox shaped like a turtle with a removable lid for a shell. I remember that day because my son pointed at the building and said: “Green is wrong.”
