A second area of opportunity is projected to be in the ‘mall culture’, particularly in the northern part of the country, as well as in second-tier cities where there is a demand-supply gap. A policy initiative increasingly asked for by the stakeholders is the establishment of a national retail association that can represent the sector’s interests, negotiate with the government over tax reform and introduce consumer protection laws. Abbasi sums up the future of retail in Pakistan: “One thing that will not change is that people will continue to shop; what will change is what, where and how they shop. For retailers who are able to read the market pulse and predict future buying trends, the sky is the limit.”

Most of the motorized wheelbarrows for sale in the US cost thousands of dollars and weigh well over 250 lbs. Using a Cyclone 3000W kit on a standard wheelbarrow only adds about 15 lbs to the weight of the wheelbarrow (for a total of <60lbs) and only costs about $450 without the battery. If you’re reading this blog you probably have ebike batteries kicking around you can use to save on the costs of buying a new battery pack. My wife loved her birthday present electric wheelbarrow (but not as much as the $9000 minivan she got on her last birthday). For those of you that are married, you know the old saying.

That way, you have something to show/promise/sell YEARS before an actual product is ready, and can blame the engineers for being slow to finish and test that "last 10%".

PEMRA’s ban on the Indian channels in 2012, was the final nail in the coffin, giving local entertainment the impetus to surge forward and such was the demand for drama that production houses such as A&B started doing 55 to 60 productions a year (previously production had worked on three to four dramas annually).

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.

It’s ironic that the best place for solar panels (rooftops, yo) is also the most difficult place to mount them. Solar panels need a place that’s sturdy, unshaded, and pointed towards the sun, and roofs fit that bill nicely.

But Lincoln Chafee, John’s son, is undeterred. “People say it’s expensive, but the economic benefits outweigh the cost,” he told CNN. Many experts agree. Which raises an interesting question: Why, exactly, doesn’t the United States already use the metric system?

LOCTITE SHOULD HAVE A WANTED POSTER OF A KTM WHEEL ON THE WALL OF ITS HEADQUARTERS. WE NEVER PASS A SPROCKET BOLT ON A KTM OR HUSKY WITHOUT TIGHTENING IT. We must say that we’ve had fewer problems with the spokes on KTM and Husky wheels than we did a couple years ago, but we still have issues. We Loctite the rear sprocket bolts, but we still find loose ones after a couple of races. And, we always check the spokes next to the rim lock on the rear wheel before each moto. If it’s tight, then all the spokes are tight. If it’s loose, then the rest of the spokes will be loose in short order. Overall, we have better luck with Husqvarna’s D.I.D DirtStar rims than we do with KTM’s unlabeled Takasago Excel rims.

AG: This project was totally unintended. I have not studied art or sustainability. But I always loved art and I started an art business. I traveled all over the world and met interesting artists from across the world. Initially I used to do pop-ups, but then started my present gallery.

The real power of 3D printing is in infinite customization of parts. This becomes especially powerful when you combine 3D printing with existing materials. I have been developing a few simple tricks to make generic fasteners and printed connectors a perfect match for aluminum extrusion, via a novel twist or two on top of techniques you may already know.

The next chapters in the Book of Advertising now belong to yet another generation of advertising superheroes. 

In short, they are an engineer’s best friend and ideal for making that just slightly over-sized rivet fit. They come in a variety of forms and you’ll want a nice selection depending on the task.
