For years, “Kush” remained a well-kept secret shared within an insular community of Florida growers. It did not gain its now-international fame until it was smuggled to Los Angeles and placed in the hands of Josh D, whose name has become synonymous with the modern-day “OG Kush” clone. Josh D became the guiding force who ultimately perfected the cultivation techniques required to grow this agronomically challenging plant. “OG Kush” is not an easy plant to grow: It is sensitive to light and nutrient levels, susceptible to pests and when stressed, produces a few male flowers and accidental seeds. Josh D shared cuttings and knowledge with numerous friends and growers who would eventually spread “OG Kush” cuttings around the world.

Magazines have always been in the business of crafting celebrity appearances. Even before Photoshopexisted in 1988, the magazine industry has collaborated with celebrities to carefully present images that shape our consciousness.

Abstract: Multi-band antennas include one or more duplexers configured to provide isolation of non-linearities generated along a downlink path of RF signals transmitted from the multi-band antenna from an uplink path of RF signals received by the multi-band antenna.

According to the probable cause court document filed against Siegel, Baxter officers were called at 11:22 p.m. Saturday to a hotel in Baxter for a report of domestic assault. Officers met with a woman in the lobby and learned she was at a hotel with her two children—ages 16 and 2—and Siegel, who is known to her. The woman said the 2-year-old was crying and it upset Siegel, leading to an argument. The victim said she was afraid of him and for her safety.

"Protein consumption should be high, around 1.5-2g per kilogram of body weight. So if you are 10st (63kg), you should be consuming just under 140g of protein a day," she adds.

Canada has also taken steps to address GHG emissions. Environment Canada is currently developing regulations to reduce methane emissions from the upstream oil and natural gas industry, with final regulations expected by the end of the year. In addition, in December 2016, the federal government and eight provincial governments in Canada agreed to a national carbon pricing policy that sets a minimum price on GHG emissions throughout Canada. The Canadian federal government will implement a price in the remaining two provinces if they do not have a price or cap-and-trade program in place by 2018. Several other provincial initiatives have established various mechanisms to limit GHG emissions. In December 2015, the United States and Canada joined the international community at the 21st Conference of the Parties of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change in Paris, France. The resulting Paris Agreement calls for the parties to undertake “ambitious efforts” to limit the average global temperature, and to conserve and enhance sinks and reservoirs of greenhouse gases. The Paris Agreement entered into force in November 2016. The United States and Canada are two of over 130 nations that have ratified or otherwise indicated that they intend to comply with the agreement. However, in June 2017, President Trump announced that the United States plans to withdraw from the Paris Agreement and to seek negotiations either to reenter the Paris Agreement on different terms or establish a new framework agreement. In August 2017, the U.S. Department of State provided formal notice to the United Nations of the United States’ intention to withdraw. The Paris Agreement provides for a four-year exit process beginning in November 2016, which would result in an effective exit date of November 2020. The United States’ adherence to the exit process and/or the terms on which the United States may reenter the Paris Agreement or a separately negotiated agreement are unclear at this time. Any restrictions on emissions of GHGs that may be imposed could adversely affect the oil and natural gas industry by reducing demand for hydrocarbons and by making it more expensive to develop and produce hydrocarbons, either of which could have a material adverse effect on future demand for our products and services.

Horizontal drilling. A subset of the more general term “directional drilling,” used where the departure of the wellbore from vertical exceeds about 80 degrees. Note that some horizontal wells are designed such that after reaching true 90-degree horizontal, the wellbore may actually start drilling upward. In such cases, the angle past 90 degrees is continued, as in 95 degrees, rather than reporting it as deviation from vertical, which would then be 85 degrees. Because a horizontal well typically penetrates a greater length of the reservoir, it can offer significant production improvement over a vertical well.

"It’s completely possible, you know." He lightly pinched a scalesia leaf, bending it back from the branch. "Anything is possible here."

Bob Doucette received this 1955 Corvette Roadster as high school graduation present in 1968 and says he’ll never sell, it will be passed on as a family heirloom

“Now let’s look at the differences in cross-section.” Three overlapping fuselage outlines appeared on the screen, again in red, blue and yellow. “It’s a 100 percent scale,” Varsano said. “Get up and stand there.” The businessman measured himself against the images and did not find the dimensions wanting.

29. The Heli-Coil threaded insert is screwed into the hole and run down as far as it will go. Once seated, the tang used to screw the Heli-Coil in will be broken off and discarded. It is suggested you use a thread locker on the outside of the insert for security.

Increasing footage drilled per rig and average lateral length. According to Spears & Associates, footage drilled per rig reached approximately 267,000 feet in 2018 and has grown with a three-year CAGR of 5.7%. This increase has primarily been driven by the increase in lateral length drilled per well across the United States and Canada. According to Spears & Associates, in 2014, 5,000 foot laterals represented 50% of new wells drilled. However, almost 71% of new wells drilled in the fourth quarter of 2017 had lateral lengths of over 6,000 feet. Furthermore, the number of lateral wells in excess of 8,000 feet drilled in the United States increased 73% during the year ended December 31, 2017.
