Anthony Bourdain, the outspoken former chef and host of CNN’s "Parts Unknown," has died at age 61, his employer, CNN, confirmed Friday morning. 

I worked for a couple of years for Sui Gas Transmission Company and then moved to Pakistan Petroleum Limited (PPL). The idea of doing something of my own appealed to me and I thought about advertising because there were many non-graduates in the profession. My brother Mazhar was a friend of S.H. Hashmi and was working at Orient Advertising. Truth be told, neither Mazhar nor Hashmi were very well versed in advertising at that point.

Some of the best advertising from the sixties through to the eighties was for PIA. And in the early days at IAL, the copy was written by Mr Jabbar, when it was an airline that competed with the best in the West and the Middle East carriers were a mere twinkle in the eyes of the Arab Sheikhs.

Social media has changed the way we view the world. The evolution has been exponential; for example, in Pakistan, Facebook has gone from 11 million active users to 34 million in the past four years alone. The way people use social media has also evolved. Nowadays, they don’t go online to connect with family and friends; they go there to express themselves about anything and everything. It has also changed the way we view and interact with the world and the communities around us, and it has changed the way consumers behave online.

Vises are an essential piece of kit for many tasks like cutting length of pipe, bending or shaping things or generally holding something tight in place. They come in either stationary or swiveling varieties but for heavy-duty work, you really want a forged-steel one.

Toys with electrical or mechanical motion components rely heavily upon screws. “Self-tapping screw designs, such as Plastite thread forms, tend to be the most popular with toy manufacturers,” says Buckner.

Come the nineties and the post-martial law governments reoriented the economy to a more outward looking slant. Also, like Pakistani banking, Pakistani consumers changed too. The opening of the economy, along with the rise of satellite TV, the Gulf boom, mobile telephony and the arrival of the internet, significantly changed consumer preferences. Despite the ‘on again, off again’ recessive tendencies of the economy, increased competition among banks forced them to look beyond corporate and high net worth customers. This broadening of the target audience brought consumer banking in its true form to the Pakistani market.

With the mainstays of consumer banking (automobiles, electronics, travel and mortgages) again on the uptick, coupled with factors such as a consolidated banking sector with fewer players and the opportunities presented by CPEC, the fundamentals of the Pakistani economy show enough promise to keep banks interested.

BEST STUD FINDER FOR HANDY HOMEOWNERS: Vivreal Multifunction Wall Detector ($29.99) For its ability to pinpoint wood and metal studs as well as copper or steel pipes and electric wires, the Vivreal Multifunction Wall Detector was Popular Mechanics‘ pick for “Best Technology.” Amazon buyers agree, rating the Vivreal 4.7 stars out of five stars for its easy-to-read LED display and its effectiveness. If you’re an ambitious do-it-yourselfer with big dreams for your walls, the compact, 6½-inch by 2-3/8-inch electronic stud finder would be a great choice. Vivreal offers both visual cues on its LED screen and audible alerts to tell you when you pass over a stud, a pipe, or wiring, and it can pinpoint the exact center of the stud so you won’t have to guess when hanging a heavy mirror or a planter. Switch to its deep scanning mode to look for metal pipes or wiring that lie within 1½ inches beneath the surface of the wall. All it takes is a 9-volt battery (which the stud finder will remind you to change as it gets low). It comes with a 1-year limited warranty. Available from Amazon.
