"They are doing these big integrated projects that are not that price sensitive," Lee said. "If they okay a project, it’s going to move like a big project, more than a small to mid-cap producer, which are drilling fewer wells and are more sensitive to price." He said smaller and mid-cap companies are also being impacted by capital discipline.

1 April. Japan’s JERA joint venture, the world’s biggest buyer of liquefied natural gas (LNG), became a major electricity generator with the formal takeover of power stations owned by its two shareholders. JERA, which is owned by Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO) and Chubu Electric Power, had earlier taken on fuel procurement for its two shareholders, Japan’s biggest and third-biggest utilities. It has now assumed control of their fossil fuel power stations, giving it 68 GW of mostly gas and coal-fired power generation capacity domestically, nearly half the country’s power generation, as well as 9 GW overseas. TEPCO and Chubu will continue to hold separately their transmission grids and retail businesses. Japan’s government forced through more competition in the country’s highly regionalized $130 bn power market in the wake of the Fukushima meltdowns by allowing new entrants, encouraging renewables and supporting market trading of power.

Vast pipeline systems in Mexico crucial to delivering U.S. natural gas production to thirsty markets in Mexico remain stalled with little clarity as to when they might come online.

The rush to FID certainly is still the case. We are actually seeing much more activity even in late Q1, early Q2 than we did in late Q4, early Q1. So certainly, the market dynamic of a certain amount of million tons per annum that’s required is driving these operators to move very quickly, and I think you’ve seen that with the LNG ’19 announcements across the board. We’re certainly not seeing slowdown from any of the pricing in the market. And probably just anecdotally for you, these projects as you said are multi-year, and they have already been multi-year for suppliers like us in terms of working with the operators in the EPCs on pre-FEED work and FERC filing et cetera. So we have also been asked to reprice our portion on certain projects and are coming out right in line with where we expected, given some of the material cost changes et cetera, but no change from our perspective to the margin opportunities in the revenue side that exists for us.

No, there is no specific reason. With the higher MRP overall, some of the generic rates have gained traction. That’s the reason why you would see generic rates percentage being higher in the quarter.

But when the nostalgia lifts, if you’re not careful, eight days (make that seven in Israel) of these wonderful time-honored Passover foods can also widen your waistline, dull your brain in a perpetual carb-fog and slow your kishkas to a near standstill.

How does a tiny tech start-up working on human augmentation to help surgeons wind up selling hundreds of exoskeletons to industrial companies? For Levitate Technologies, it was something of an accident. They went from working to develop a quiet surgeon’s assist device outfit a few years ago to being a major industrial supplier today. They fully commercialized only just last year, yet they already boast of almost 100 customers across the world.

An application of a starter fertilizer at transplanting will help tomato plants grow faster and flower sooner. Starter solutions are water-soluble fertilizers high in phosphorus. Upon setting plants in the garden, apply a liquid starter solution to each transplant at the rate of one cup per plant so that the root ball is completely saturated. Be sure to follow label directions, because leaf burning and plant death can result from excessive fertilization application.

There’s also the need for additional science behind those various potential applications. The results of studies so far have been extremely promising. “Toyota placed sensors on the arms, shoulder, and lower back of workers with and without the Levitate exoskeleton, and collected over one billion data points,” Zawaideh said. “They found a 20% average reduction in muscle load – that’s what led them to classify ours as PPE.”

Indoors: To the left of the arched front door, which is inset with etched glass, is a room more than 40 feet long. It has herringbone floors with an inlay border, elaborate carved crown molding, a 13-foot decorative ceiling hung with a crystal chandelier with globe lights, and two pier mirrors set in gilded frames.
