Columbia’s most violent block got millions in taxpayer money | Flat Torx Self Drilling Screw

The fly in the KTM’s ointment is that once the 250SX peaks at 8200 rpm, it falls off quickly. And by the time the orange bike gets to the Yamaha’s 8800 rpm peak, the YZ250 is actually 4.7 horsepower more powerful. The lack of top-end power and over-rev are the hardest things for a rider to adapt to on the KTM 250SX—that and the really strong surge off the bottom.

I don’t think anyone is in a panic. Nvidia’s GT200 line is still viable and there’s no reason to rush out and upgrade until there are at least two manufacturers selling DX11 cards. Hell, there’s no reason to buy DX11 support prior to DX11 actually being supported by anything. I recall rushing out to buy a DX9 card to get it ear

From the perfectly-cut threads, to the step on the shank, to the radius under the head, this single bolt showcases all of the precision design and machining required in a high performance fastener.

Flat die thread rolling utilizes two dies: one static and one mobile. The stationary die and the moving die are positioned opposite one another. During the forward movement of the machine, a thread is rolled on one blank at a time. The diameter of the blank die and the distance between the faces of the dies at the completion of the machine’s stroke determines the diameter of the manufactured thread.

Another up-and-coming invention is a unique kind of ballasted solar rack that sticks to sloped roofs like a lizard’s feet stick to a window. The installation uses heavy frames with a special kind of polymer that grips the roof surface tighter as pressure (from the panels or wind) increases.

Mongabay is an environmental science and conservation news and information site. Much of Mongabay has operated under a non-profit — Mongabay.org — since 2012.

Better quality ones tend to be able to handle bigger batteries, offer high-quality insulation, provide surge control and are a good length.

However, if you are competent at jetting, you can run whatever fuel mixture you want—with a few brass changes. We even have more complicated jetting specs, but they have been developed for specific situations and fuels.

For much of the 20th century, asbestos cement sheets provided builders with a rugged solution for simple roofing and siding projects. While these products were cheap to manufacture and buy, their true cost emerged years later in the form of deadly asbestos-related illnesses.

To fit within the narrow spaces left in the slot, the tool is printed as thin as possible: the width of our 3D printer’s nozzle. This also makes economical use of filament and it’s very fast to print, both attributes useful for a disposable item since this thin positioning tool can’t be removed once the bolts are tightened down. It is well worth the sacrifice, though, because it turns a frustrating exercise of aligning small fasteners into a trivially simple task.

These include film actor Mohammad Ali, television actors Neelofar Aleem, Talat Hussain, Santosh Rassal and Qazi Wajid, and prominent writers such as Syed Imtiaz Ali Taj, Rafi Peer, Syed Abid Ali, Khwaja Moinuddin, Ahmad Nadeem Qasmi, Hasina Moin and Bano Qudsia.

In this world within a world, there were unexpected shortages which needed improvisation. When Alan Jones, a manager, decided to get married at Karachi’s Trinity Church, he needed a supply of confetti. Bashir Ahmed, puzzled by the request, decided to find a solution in the office. He emptied out all the punching machines and the wedding ceremony proceeded along traditional lines. The gentleman’s fiancée was willing to tie the knot with Jones but was wary about the prospects of marital bliss in Rahimyar Khan.
