Tony winner and Neil Simon director Gene Saks dies at 93 | Sheet Metal Roofing Screws

Three years and several prototypes later, Moeggenborg and two siblings have created a set of products that work together making installation of popular metal roofs and sidings faster, safer and more consistent.

So that when television came upon Pakistan’s advertising scene in 1964, a new generation of superheroes was ready to take on the mantle – and they did so, with a burst of original creative executions which remain the envy of today’s generation of practitioners. The profession had found its foothold and if this was a period of buoyant creativity, it was also a time of consolidation.

On the materials side, using salvaged wood products to create new structural wood products can reduce reliance on virgin timber, which has recently experienced shortages and price fluctuations. Salvaged concrete can be used as aggregate in new construction. In some cases, even roof shingles can be melted for asphalt road surfacing. In the Midwest, where there are substantial numbers of abandoned properties, an underground “scrapper” economy has emerged that salvages copper and other valuable metals from structures.

• Secure your house to its foundation with anchor bolts, if it hasn’t already been done. It will help prevent the structure from sliding off its foundation.

I went to see him and took a camera with me. I requested him to try and take a photograph without shutting his eye. He accepted the challenge, saying that if he was unable to take the photo without ‘winking’, he would withdraw his objection. He took the camera and I asked his staff to watch him; as he took the photograph, he ended up closing one eye. He had no choice but to drop his objection.

CNN reported that Bourdain’s friend, chef Eric Ripert, had found him unresponsive in his hotel room in the northeastern French city of Strasbourg, where he had been working on "Parts Unknown." The outlet said the cause of death was an apparent suicide.

If your bolts are shearing, you’ve designed it wrong, as screws are never supposed to be carrying shearing loads – the parts you clamp down with the bolts are supposed to hold together by the friction of the clamping force.

This is another Buzzfeed-type article from this writer who I doubt even has a workbench. I am a graduate school educated professional writer and can say that it’s not easy to do quality work at the rate HAD is pushing out right now. It looks like it’s a click game and traffic metrics are all that counts. There are some really simplistic mistakes in fact as well as in structure in this piece. It’s no wonder some of the impressive guest writers have not returned when this site has become so crappy content-wise. Thanks for your input since the comments are often much more informative than some articles and include missing or corrected information.

Somewhere along the line, activation practitioners in Pakistan have lost their way. After the gloss of this ‘new and exciting’ marketing medium wore off, brands realised that they had to justify their spend on activation compared to their spend on ATL. This realisation brought into question the infamous ‘cost per contact’ metric that drives the activation landscape today.

Walk into any decent grocery store today and you will see this in action. In every aisle, there is a brand ambassador waiting to tell you about this and sell you that. In-store sales promotion is the official term of such activations, although ‘physical person-to-person spam’ would be more appropriate. The crème de la crème of activation channels, the mall, also saw a sharp decline in the engagement factor and potential ‘contacts’ had to be lured in with prizes and other incentives.
