There were certain sensitive issues that delegates made a point of not discussing at that initial meeting—tension between the metric and imperial blocs, for instance. But others did have to be addressed, including the name of the body. Eventually, the group decided on ISO as a standard acronym, independent of any language. The organization’s website now claims that the founders derived this moniker from the Greek work isos, or equal. Kuert, for his part, remembered no such thing: “There was no mention of that in London!” In the 70 years since, the ISO has expanded to some 161 member states and more than 22,000 standards.

Now, a public art project is bringing new bird life to uptown Manhattan in John James Audubon’s old neighborhood in New York City. The Audubon Mural Project is an ongoing collaboration between the National Audobon Society and Gitler &____ Gallery. So far, 80 murals of 101 bird species have been painted, spanning 133rd to 165th street on Broadway. The project will eventually end at 193rd street, at the end of Audubon Avenue. There’s also an Audubon Sculpture Project in the works, which will be completed next year.

Both item and Bosch sell their components in four ways: uncut or precut profiles and components that customers install; preordered, application-specific kits that end-users build; and fully assembled structures made and delivered by a local distributor. Lupfer says the latter approach represents a significant portion of Bosch extrusion-system sales. Herrmann points out that about 80 percent of MBBKS end-users in the United States request preassembly, compared to 30 percent in Europe.

There have been some iconic TV campaigns but with the increasing reliance on visuals, music and glamour to tell a story, the ability to do so with a handful of words is a dying art. At least in Pakistan. So, for a change, when we celebrate the best of Pakistani advertising over the last 70 years, let’s pay homage to a man who did this incredibly well.

The only two people I know who were trained in the real sense were Javed Jabbar and Naseer Haider. They both were sent to the UK when they were at IAL. Javed was trained as a concept writer. He established MNJ in 1969, in partnership with Majeed Ahmed and Nafees Ghaznavi. He is, in my opinion, the most brilliant advertising man in Pakistan.

I’m considering adding a layer of insulation to the exterior of my roof, then another layer of sheathing, and finally asphalt shingles. A few questions: First, since I only have a single layer of asphalt shingles on my roof, am I able to just apply the foam right over the shingles, or do I need to strip the roof first? Second, I have a small layover porch roof on the front of the house. Does that have to be removed in order to properly retrofit the foam in a continuous fashion?

A few years ago, representatives from racing-wheel manufacturer HRE Designs met with Depelteau to discuss their need for a system that keeps inner and outer rim sections of a four-wheel set near each other during production, which lasts an average of 13 hours. HRE workers and production managers had been spending a lot of time loading and unloading the sections to pallets, carts and shelving, or searching for sections on the shop floor.

After The State contacted HUD to see what’s being done to address crime, federal officials contacted the property management company and demanded that they formulate a plan, said the on-site manager, who has since stopped communicating with The State.

Quickly becoming a favorite of builders and serious DIYers, the Torx screw—sometimes called the star screw—features a 6-point recessed star tip in sizes that range from 0.031” to 0.81” and are designated by “T” numbers (from T1 to T100). Common building sizes are T15 and T25, and, whatever screw size, there’s a corresponding Torx screwdriver or screwdriver bit to fit.

Unlike today, when advertising relies heavily on technology to gloss up the visual effect, there was a time when advertisements were powered by words alone to express a strong idea. Rashna Abdi recollects some of the most memorable examples of this era.
