‘Parks and Recreation’ writer-producer Harris Wittels dies at 30 | Metric Wood Screws

At the time of its inception and soon independence, HBL’s communication focused on introducing the benefits of banking to the public. The communication was aimed at promoting its product suite in line with the economic needs of the time.

This chart shows the standard nail sizes and their dimensions. Under “nail size,” the “penny size” refers to a standard nail unit. Nails are measured in pennies, believed to be from older times when nails were sold by the penny. At the time, the abbreviation for pennies was d, so nail sizes are described as 2D, 3D, etc. The shank diameter and length refer to the shaft part of the nail, called the shaft, which is driven into the surface. The head is, of course, the top portion struck to drive the nail into the material.

• One specific ratcheting screwdriver called a Yankee screwdriver operates on a spring-loaded ratcheting principle. Instead of using wrist action to turn the screwdriver, you’d simply position the tip of a Yankee screwdriver in the screw head and push firmly toward the screw. The pressure causes the screwdriver shank to turn; when you release it, the tension spring inside pushes the handle back to its starting position. Yankee screwdrivers have been around since the late 1800s, but you can still find them in DIY stores.

Next, female threads are created in the extrusion by the thread-forming zone of the fastener. This step is performed at a lower speed—approximately 2,000 rpm. After the threads are created, the screw is threaded into the newly created nut member until its head seats against the top sheet. This is performed at 200 rpm, to avoid damaging the newly created threads.

My friend, this is the whole point. Advertising something that is not available, and may never be available (at least as advertised), is a falsehood.

Pakistan is unique in the sense of being one of the few countries that can boast of a number of banks that operate within its geographic boundaries for periods that predate its existence. As the young nation struggled to get off to a promising start, banks formed the core of the services industry and were key employers for the educated members of the workforce, which included a large number of refugees from India.

In mid-19th-century United States, this became especially clear as railroads began to stripe across the country for the first time. Each place used its own measure to determine the space between the rails on the track. Some track gauge measurements were narrow—in parts of Maine, just two feet wide. Other places, like New York State, favored a gauge of up to six feet. If everybody remained in their “area,” this didn’t represent an especial problem. But increasingly, people, and goods, needed to be moved great distances, from one place to the next. Usually, railways resorted to a break of gauge, where everything and everyone would trundle off one train operating on one gauge, and onto the next train which operated on a different gauge. But this was an expensive, time-consuming solution and, as trade between the Midwest and the East mushroomed after the Civil War, it became a nuisance for trading companies.

Is the AOR relevant in the fast-paced digital, ideas-driven world? If media planning and buying is being simplified at the tail-end of the communications value chain and a CMT is in place on the advertiser’s front, what services will the agency of the future provide?

NOT TO TORTURE THE WORD “IDENTICAL,” BUT THESE TWO BIKES ARE SO CLOSELY RELATED THAT YOU WOULD NATURALLY ASSUME THAT THEY WEIGH THE SAME. They don’t. The Husky FC250 weighs 2 pounds more than the comparable KTM 250SXF. The extra baggage (221 pounds versus 223 pounds) is a function of the heavier subframe, swingarm, GSK brake rotors, ice-cream-cone mufflers and bodywork. Some of that weight will be saved when you drill out the airbox and swap mufflers, but even if you don’t take these steps, your Husky will still be lighter than every motocross bike not from Austria—and we are talking a lot lighter.

Maybe this guy has a point, but it’s damn hard to see what he’s talking about from the pictures. The only one that I agree looks bogus is the one where the board is cut flush

Dolmen Centre in Tariq Road (established in the nineties), was the first vertical shopping complex in Pakistan built on a multiple floor layout. Before that the concept of indoor air-conditioned shopping areas was alien in Pakistan. If people wanted branded products, Zainab Market or Panorama and Rex Centres were the go-to places.
