IPhone 5: A Dispatch From The Front Lines
businessweek.com
There were only about seven people camped outside Apple’s Fifth Avenue store on Sept. 17, waiting for the Sept. 21 release of the iPhone 5. In a one-hour period no fewer than a dozen journalists visited those seven people. This was the observer effect in full—the act of watching a thing didn’t just change the thing being watched, it was the thing itself.

Lenormand Cards Reading - An Ancient Cartomancy almost forgot

  An Introduction to Lenormand Cards: Plus Lenormand Card Meaning List AUG 10, 2017 While the main focus of Labyrinthos Academy has always been the Tarot, lately I’ve been experimenting with other practices that have the potential to work alongside those beloved decks of that I hold so dear. One of the more interesting and dynamic combinations I’ve found during these little experiments has been Lenormand Cards. Lately, I’ve been so inspired, that I’ve been working on a  Lenormand deck, which you can start taking a peek at here! What are Lenormand Cards? Tarot and other forms of cartomancy have been around for as long as playing cards themselves have existed - and the history of the whole practice spans well over six centuries. For many decades now, Tarot has been the main focus of those interested in spirituality and self-development. While they were once used for divination, we actually argue here that their most potent use is not in telling the future,  but as a tool fo...

Saiba o que significa um prego 17 x 27.

By
Muito interessante pessoal, jamais imaginei como se media isso! abra莽os, Ivan Saiba o que significa um prego 17 x 27. A nomenclatura dos pregos 茅 algo bastante desconhecido da maioria das pessoas. Isso ocorre porque h谩 muitos padr玫es no mercado. Existe uma equival锚ncia aproximada entre elas, mas as usuais est茫o em Polegadas Inglesas x BWG, JP x LPP e ainda o padr茫o m茅trico oficial, mm x mm. Entenda o que significam estas siglas: Polegadas Inglesas: multiplique o n煤mero correspondente por 25,4 para ter o comprimento em mm. BWG (Birmingham Wire Gauge) e JP (Jauge de Paris): s茫o tabelas pr贸prias que indicam o di芒metro do prego. LPP (Linhas Por Polegadas Portuguesas): multiplique o n煤mero correspondente por 2,3 para ter o comprimento em mm. No Brasil usamos mais o seguinte formato: JP x LPP Onde: JP 茅 o di芒metro, em JDP (Jauge de Paris) LPP 茅 o comprimento, em Linhas de Polegada Portuguesa. 1 JDP = ver tabela abaixo 1 Linha de Polegada Portuguesa: 2,30 mm Conversao de Medi...

  Eric Carle: The Man Behind the Caterpillar Eric Carle, who passed away on May 23, 2021 at the age of 91, was one of the most beloved and influential children’s book authors and illustrators of our time. His books, such as The Very Hungry Caterpillar, Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See?, and The Grouchy Ladybug, have sold more than 170 million copies worldwide and have been translated into more than 70 languages. His distinctive collage art style, his playful use of colors and shapes, and his simple yet profound stories have captivated generations of young readers and adults alike. But who was the man behind the caterpillar? What inspired him to create such memorable characters and images? And what was his impact on children’s literature and education? Eric Carle was born on June 25, 1929 in Syracuse, New York, to German immigrant parents. When he was six years old, his family moved back to Germany, where he grew up during the Nazi regime and World War II. He experienced hard...

Buddhist Views on Supernatural Powers and a Set of Zen Poems

By
Image
  Buddhist Views on Supernatural Powers There is a nice story that illustrates  the attitude of Gautama Buddha  toward the tendency of some people to strive for miraculous powers in their  spiritual practice . One day the Buddha came across an ascetic who was sitting by a river bank. This ascetic was known for his spiritual practice of austerity for good 25 years. The Buddha asked the ascetic, given all his hard work and labor, what he had received as a reward. The man replied with pride that, he was able to cross the river by walking on the water. The Buddha pointed in the direction of the ferry, indicating that the gain of the man was insignificant. He could, after all, cross the river for just one penny by using a ferry! This story probably has different layers of meanings. One meaning could certainly be the message that we have to live our lives happily, performing our everyday duties, rather than chasing miracles and supernatural powers. After all, why are we he...

Adrian Bowyer RepRap and Josef Prusa 3D Printing Revolution

By
Image
  RepRap - RepRap RepRap  is humanity's first general-purpose  self-replicating manufacturing machine . RepRap  takes the form of a  free   desktop 3D printer  capable of printing plastic objects. Since many parts of RepRap are made from plastic and RepRap prints those parts, RepRap self-replicates by making a kit of itself - a kit that anyone can assemble given time and materials. It also means that - if you've got a RepRap - you can print  lots of useful stuff , and you can  print another RepRap  for a  friend ... RepRap is about making self-replicating machines , and making them freely available for the benefit of everyone. We are using 3D printing to do this, but if you have other technologies that can copy themselves and that can be made freely available to all, then this is the place for you too. Reprap.org is a community project , which means you are welcome to edit most pages on this site, or better yet, create new pages of ...

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, semanti...

# ☄️ Confie na Poeira Estelar ### Quando uma lata de cerveja me lembrou quem eu sou 馃棑️ *Escrito entre um hotel pr贸ximo ao aeroporto de Miami e um 么nibus rumo a Orlando. Enquanto minha esposa, filha e nossos dois c茫es estavam no sul do Brasil. Enquanto minha Kombi esperava em Cabedelo para retomarmos a estrada. Enquanto eu lembrava que, no fundo, sou escritor.* --- ## ✍️ Hoje escrevo porque… at茅 uma cerveja me lembrou quem eu sou. Estava ali, parado no aeroporto, cansado da espera e da saudade. Peguei uma cerveja sem pensar muito, s贸 pra passar o tempo. Mas a cerveja n茫o era qualquer uma. Era uma **Space Dust IPA**. O r贸tulo brilhava. Um ser feito de l煤pulo soprava uma poeira c贸smica. E ali, escrito na lata, lia-se: > **“Trust the Dust.”** **Confie na poeira.** E foi exatamente isso que eu fiz. --- ## 馃寣 De volta a 1991 Quando eu tinha 7 anos, em Blumenau, recebi um papel com uma pergunta simples: > “O que voc锚 quer ser quando crescer?” Lembro do cheiro da casa.
