Resolução de Ano Novo! Você tem uma ?

New year´s resolution! Do you have one?

Hi everybody,
Ainda dá tempo de fazer a lista daquelas coisas que você gostaria de fazer, concluir, continuar ou realizar em 2011. It´s time for New Year´s Resolution.
Aqui está uma lista: Top Ten New Year´s Resolution list, com algumas dicas retiradas do About.com Guide e com algum “pitaco” de minha parte :
  1. Spend more time with family and friends: work shouldn´t always come first.
  2. Exercise regularly: exercise keeps you healthy and makes you look and feel better. You don´t need to run a marathon. You can start taking a walk around the block.
  3. Lose weight: choose a diet that fits you and follow it through the new year. You don´t need to starve yourself. Try changing one habit at a time. You can increase your water intake, curb your junk food craving, add fruit and vegetables to your diet, avoid drinking soda. Just to name a few.
  4. Quit smoking: even if you’ve tried to quit before and failed, don’t let it get you down. On average, smokers try about four times before they quit for good.
  5. Enjoy Life:  just get out and try something new! Take up a new hobby, something that  makes you forget about your stressful lifestyle for a while.
  6. Quit drinking: Don’t think that alcohol will solve your problems. It never does.
  7. Get out of Debt: was money a big source of stress in your life last year? Spend less, think twice before buying anything. Ask yourself: Do I really need this? Pay off your credit card and keep it only if you pay it in full each month. Otherwise, throw it away! I´m not kidding.
  8. Learn something new: whether you take a course or read a book, you’ll find education to be one of the easiest, most motivating New Year’s resolutions to keep. What about getting your English skills up there once and for all? And here´s a link where you can find many free tools on-line to help you in this matter.
  9. Help Others: whether you choose to spend time helping out at your local library, mentoring a child, or building a house, there are many nonprofit volunteer organizations that could really use your help. História Viva, JCI Brasil, Juntos Podemos Transformar o Mundo
  10. Get Organized: on just about every New Year resolution top ten list, organization can be a very reasonable goal. Whether you want your home organized enough that you can invite someone over, or your office organized enough that you can find the stapler when you need it,  a more organized life means less stress as well.
Quer adicionar algo a esta lista? Go ahead. We want to hear from you. Muitos dos itens desta lista estão sempre na minha lista. Quer saber a parte mais difícil? Manter a disciplina. Mas, Deus nos está trazendo mais um ano novinho em folha. Mais uma chance para fazer diferente, fazer melhor ou simplesmente fazer alguma coisa.
We gotta move and do something! Wish you all a blessed 2011!

Saiba o que significa um prego 17 x 27.

By
Muito interessante pessoal, jamais imaginei como se media isso! abraços, Ivan Saiba o que significa um prego 17 x 27. A nomenclatura dos pregos é algo bastante desconhecido da maioria das pessoas. Isso ocorre porque há muitos padrões no mercado. Existe uma equivalência aproximada entre elas, mas as usuais estão em Polegadas Inglesas x BWG, JP x LPP e ainda o padrão métrico oficial, mm x mm. Entenda o que significam estas siglas: Polegadas Inglesas: multiplique o número correspondente por 25,4 para ter o comprimento em mm. BWG (Birmingham Wire Gauge) e JP (Jauge de Paris): são tabelas próprias que indicam o diâmetro do prego. LPP (Linhas Por Polegadas Portuguesas): multiplique o número correspondente por 2,3 para ter o comprimento em mm. No Brasil usamos mais o seguinte formato: JP x LPP Onde: JP é o diâmetro, em JDP (Jauge de Paris) LPP é o comprimento, em Linhas de Polegada Portuguesa. 1 JDP = ver tabela abaixo 1 Linha de Polegada Portuguesa: 2,30 mm Conversao de Medi

25 Alan Watts Quotes to Teach You the Transformative Power of InsighsPi

25 Alan Watts Quotes to Teach You the Transformative Power of Insighs Pin A prolific author and speaker, Alan Wilson Watts is credited with the interpretation and introduction of Eastern philosophy to the Western audience. As his mother’s students were children of missionaries to Asia, Watts began to be fascinated by Asian art, literature, and philosophy; so in time, he learned Chinese and started to explore the fundamental beliefs and practices of religions and philosophies of India and East Asia. After a rigorous research in Zen Buddhism, Watts published one of the first books on the topic –  The Way of Zen  – introducing the burgeoning youth culture to it. Due to all the wisdom it embodies, Watts even suggested that Buddhism could be presented and taught as a form of psychotherapy, and not only as a religion. Alan Watts is the author of more than 25 books on various topics such as philosophy, Eastern and Western religion, natural history, semantics, cybernetics and the

Could Asia really go to war over these?

Could Asia really go to war over these? The bickering over islands is a serious threat to the region’s peace and prosperity Sep 22nd 2012 | from the print edition THE countries of Asia do not exactly see the world in a grain of sand, but they have identified grave threats to the national interest in the tiny outcrops and shoals scattered off their coasts. The summer has seen a succession of maritime disputes involving China, Japan, South Korea, Vietnam, Taiwan and the Philippines. This week there were more anti-Japanese riots in cities across China because of a dispute over a group of uninhabited islands known to the Japanese as the Senkakus and to the Chinese as the Diaoyus. Toyota and Honda closed down their factories. Amid heated rhetoric on both sides, one Chinese newspaper has helpfully suggested skipping the pointless diplomacy and moving straight to the main course by serving up Japan with an atom bomb. That, thank goodness, is grotesque hyperbole: th

What is the best piece of advice you ever received to earn more money?

What is the best piece of advice you ever received to earn more money? Hector Quintanilla , Founder at DigitalAgeEducation.com Updated Jul 25, 2018 I just gave this lesson to my 10-year-old son. “Dad, to make money I will be walking our neighbors’ dogs. How much should I charge?” “How much do you want to make?”  I asked. “I think I could charge $3 dollars per hour.” “Is that all you want to make? Only $3 dollars per hour?” “No!”  he interrupted,  “I would love to make $20 dollars, but how could I do that? Do you think people will pay me $20?” I started to work on his mindset: “What are you selling, Son?” He stopped staring at me thinking,  “I’m not selling anything, Dad. What do you mean?” “Okay,”  I said,  “pretend I’m your customer. Sell to me.” He ran quickly to the computer and printed out a brochure he created that said: I WALK YOUR DOG $3 PER HOUR. CALL ME. “Here, Dad,”  giving me the brochure, “ will you hire

Google quantum computer leaves old-school supercomputers in the dust The era of practical quantum computers has begun -- at least on one speed test showing "quantum supremacy." BY  STEPHEN SHANKLAND OCTOBER 23, 2019   11:09 AM PDT 3 Google's Sycamore chip powers a quantum computer Google A Google quantum computer has far outpaced ordinary computing technology, an achievement called  quantum supremacy  that's an important milestone for a revolutionary way of processing data.  Google disclosed the results in the journal Nature  on Wednesday. The achievement came after more than a decade of work at Google, including the use of its own quantum computing chip, called Sycamore. "Our machine performed the target computation in 200 seconds, and from measurements in our experiment we determined that it would take the world's fastest supercomputer 10,000 years to produce a similar output,"  Google re

What is a sad truth about life?

By

Imagine yourself in this scenario: She is your wife. This is your car. This is your house. This is your phone. You're a multi-billionaire. You graduated from Harvard. You have a Ph.D. People love you. People hang out with you. People notice you. People take care of you. People treat you with superiority. People invite you to the best parties. Now, take away the wedding; you are single. Substitute the Bugatti with a rusty, broken car, with over 200K miles. Your home is the street. You have a flip phone. You are barely making ends meet. Many days you go without food. You cannot afford to go to college. You have no degree. Your lifestyle is now like this. What do you have? What does society see in you? Nothing. Suddenly, you go from 500 friends to 0. The people you thought cared about you are nowhere to be found. You are alone. You are struggling. And no one cares. The saddest truth about life is that
