Son: Weight Watchers founder Jean Nidetch dies at 91 | Sheet Metal Roofing Screws

Brands need to adopt causes and give a collective voice to their consumers. It was the Arab Spring that gave traction to the idea that anyone can bring about a revolution on social media. Consumers know how powerful a social media platform can be and are willing to use it, be it for political issues or consumer complaints. As a result, brands need to tread carefully on social media as a single piece of negative news can snowball into a business damaging situation.

Mihm: That’s correct. While the anti-metric forces included outright cranks, including people who believed that the inch was a God-given unit of measurement, the most sophisticated and powerful opponents of the metric system were anything but cranks. They were engineers who built the industrial infrastructure of the United States. And their concerns, while self-interested, were not entirely off base. Whatever the drawbacks of the English units, the inch was divided in ways that made sense to the mechanics and machinists of the era: it was built around "2s" rather than "10s," with each inch subdivided in half and in half again—and so forth. This permitted various sizes of screw thread to have some logical correspondence to all the other increments. The same was true of the sizes of other small parts that were essential modern machinery.

Because of their exceptional shear, tensile, and fatigue strength, rolled threads are frequently necessary by design. While other methods eliminate material to generate thread forms, thread rolling relocates the material with reinforced steel dies.

From our grandmothers to our mothers and to ourselves, food and the cooking of it, plays a central part in expressing our love and in the nurturing of our children, making the cooking medium an important ingredient in any recipe!

To measure the pitch diameter, thread features must be considered. Imagine that the width of the thread groove, or minor diameter, and the width of the thread crest, or major diameter, are equal and equal to half the supposed pitch of the thread. The pitch diameter is the diameter of this conceived cylinder. 

Stephen Mihm: It permits nations, individuals, or corporations who would otherwise be hampered in their efforts at communicating, trading, or sharing information. Think of it as a common language. If everyone in the world speaks English, it’s very easy to do business, travel, and engage in trade. The same is true of a single, standardized system of weights and measures.

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.

Advertising on radio is one of the cheapest ways to put a message out. The cost of creating a radio spot is affordable and can be very effective if the message is kept simple. Radio spots do not afford the time to be complicated, cute or tricky. They need to focus on benefits, not features; demonstrate value and encourage their audience to take an action. Attempting to pack in more than this within 30 seconds and still be effective is rarely possible.

With the city full of embassies and served by a host of foreign airlines, the mix of international and local patrons enjoyed themselves into the early hours of the morning. The hotels had fully-stocked bars, including local brews, and catered to a wide selection of tastes.

Instaphone’s InstaXcite brand was positioned to challenge Jazz and became notable for using TVCs that were small stories in themselves. The ‘story’ was taken forward in consecutive ads reminiscent of Nescafe’s story-driven nineties coffee ads in the UK. Overall however, mobile telephony branding remained constrained due to the MPP regime, which remained in force until a little after the turn of the century and only those who could afford it, remained privy to mobile telephony services.

Also called asbestos cement sheathing, “asbestos lumber” was not made out of wood at all. Instead, it was marketed as a superior alternative to wood. It was fireproof and electrically nonconductive, yet still soft enough to be worked like natural lumber. Asbestos lumber was used as a base for roofing and siding materials such as shingles and false brick facing.
