Secure heavy furniture: Attach bookcases, china cabinets and other heavy furniture to the walls using L-shaped metal brackets screwed into wall studs to prevent tipping.

Handlebars. Husqvarna’s Pro Taper bars are a proprietary bend made just for Husqvarna. Most MXA test riders prefer the flex and give of the Pro Tapers over the stiff feel of KTM’s Neken handlebars. The two bends are different, but it’s not uncommon to see KTM race bikes with Husqvarna Pro Tapers on them.

Workers loaded the rivet into a mandrel, which was then installed in a special rivet gun. However, the gun required frequent maintenance, and the supplier would often take several weeks to repair and return the gun. Another negative was each rivet cost 11 cents.

Appelbaum: Much of the world started moving to the metric system in the late nineteenth century. You’ve written that the United States didn’t follow, because of “the humble screw thread.” For want of a screw, the metric system was lost?

Much like cricket, music became a platform brands would turn to when they felt they needed to reconnect with their audiences.

Pakistan’s ad industry has mostly been driven by legacy (and legendary) entrepreneurs. Prince Abbas Mirza (D.J. Keymer and of pre-partition heritage), Anwar Rammal, Shaukat Fancy, Naseer Haider, Javed Jabbar, the Thavers, S.H. Hashmi, C.A. Rauf, Bashir Khan and countless others. Later, Taher A. Khan, Shahnoor Ahmed, Jawaid Iqbal and Imran Mir built great advertising businesses.

The sixties saw the introduction of the ‘Robbialac Look’. It was about having a freshly-painted look throughout the year and the availability of a wide range of colours. The illustrations became better, the copy got a bit creative. In the seventies, the illustrations were replaced by photographs. The headline stated the problem, and the body copy gave the solution.

The second I saw NVidia articles I knew that this was just a PR thing just so that people don’t forget about them after ATI’s launch. I knew their product wasn’t finished and they had to show *something* in development, but c’mon, you have to admit this is pretty funny. I mean–wooden screws and boards!

“Containerism,” as it’s technically known, is associated with a 320 percent increase in bilateral trade in the first five years alone. Over 20 years, it’s close to 800 percent—more than any free trade agreement in the last five decades. At any given moment, millions of shipping containers are making their way across the globe, whether laden with inexpensive merchandise, from China to the United States, or with 50,000 bananas per 20-foot box, from Colombia to the United Kingdom. Today, writes Rose George in Ninety Percent of Everything: Inside Shipping, the Invisible Industry That Puts Clothes on Your Back, Gas in Your Car, and Food on Your Plate, we live in an “era of extreme interdependence.” A lot of that is due to these special standardized boxes.
