Our operations rely heavily on our workforce, which is exposed to a wide range of operational hazards typical for the pipe- and steel-making industries. These hazards arise from working at industrial sites, operating heavy machinery and performing other hazardous activities. Although we provide our workforce with occupational health and safety training and believe that our safety standards and procedures are adequate, accidents at our sites and facilities have occurred in the past and may occur in the future as a result of unexpected circumstances, failure of employees to follow proper safety procedures, human error or otherwise. If any of these circumstances were to occur in the future, they could result in personal injury, business interruption, possible legal liability, damage to our business reputation and corporate image and, in severe cases, fatalities, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or prospects. We have general liability and workers compensation insurance to protect us against such risks, but recoveries under the insurance coverage that we obtain in the future, if any, may not fully offset our costs in the event of a claim.

The CAA and comparable state laws and regulations, regulate emissions of various air pollutants through the issuance of permits and the imposition of other emissions control requirements. The EPA has developed, and continues to develop, stringent regulations governing emissions of air pollutants from specified sources. New facilities may be required to obtain permits before work can begin, and existing facilities may be required to obtain additional permits and incur capital costs in order to remain in compliance. These and other laws and regulations may increase the costs of compliance for some facilities where we operate. Obtaining or renewing permits also has the potential to delay the development of our projects.

They took on New York City, playing all-nighters in seminal clubs like Nightingale’s and Wetlands Preserve, a blossoming environmentally and socially conscious hangout in Tribeca. They became insatiable road warriors, promoted by the monolithic Bill Graham Presents, playing anywhere, and everywhere, as a badge of honor. They treated a gig in North Dakota with just as much reverence as one in California or New York, if not more so.

She enjoyed spending the year hunting for just the right Christmas doll for me as much as I loved getting them. All were special, but the very best is the self-portrait doll she made out of yarn and felt that looked just like her: blue eyes, dark brown hair and a festive Christmas outfit.

If dividends paid to a Non-U.S. Holder are effectively connected with the Non-U.S. Holder’s conduct of a trade or business within the United States (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, the Non-U.S. Holder maintains a permanent establishment in the United States to which such dividends are attributable), the Non-U.S. Holder will be exempt from the U.S. federal withholding tax described above. To claim the exemption, the Non-U.S. Holder must furnish to the applicable withholding agent a valid IRS Form W-8ECI, certifying that the dividends are effectively connected with the Non-U.S. Holder’s conduct of a trade or business within the United States.

Lai appeared on the next page in an interview with Chantal. The Hive was conceived as a simulation of Spirit Quests. And then we moved that idea into Odysseus, the journeys, which is something we’re really excited about too, and refocused our energies for The Hive on what makes us happy, an opportunity to explore our more fantastic selves.
