Did you guess it? The image, taken in December 2014, shows the CMS Tracker with the newly inserted central and forward pixel detector. Read about the preparations required (including a video of the +CMS Experiment being opened up):http://cylindricalonion.web.cern.ch/blog/201412/delicate-operations-preparing-insertion-pixel-tracker.

Congratulations to +Franc Schiphorst, the first to get the correct answer to Friday's post.

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...

Prince Setna and the Magic Book of Thoth

By

  Prince Setna and the Magic Book of Thoth Procursus: This is a very late story, existing only in a Demotic-script manuscript probably copied during the period of the Greek Ptolemaic kings (the “XXXIInd” dynasty) somewhere after 305 BC. The action is set a thousand years earlier, under the great pharaoh Ramesses II (XIXth dynasty), but that setting was either mere romanticism or an inaccurately understood historical tradition, for the writer of the existing copy of the story seems to have imagined the capital to have been at Memphis (one of the Ptolemaic capitals) rather than at Thebes, where Ramesses really had his capital, and the author gives far more attention to the god Ptah than would have been appropriate for a story from the time of Ramesses. Some Greek names also point to the Ptolemaic copyist’s (or author’s) lack of attention to historical accuracy in the setting of the tale. This version of the story has been modified from an 1899 rendering by W. M. Flinders Petrie, pres...

The Organ and the Emperor: On Immortality, Power, and the Price of a Human Life

  The Organ and the Emperor: On Immortality, Power, and the Price of a Human Life By Ivan Carlos Possamai --- Prologue: The Whisper That Wasn’t Meant for Us It was one of those moments history loves to hide in plain sight. Two men — leaders of vast nations, architects of their own political immortality — strolling side by side in Beijing’s September sun. Cameras rolled, flags waved, soldiers marched in perfect synchrony. And then, a slip. A microphone, still live, caught words that were never meant for the public ear. “With the development of biotechnology, human organs can be continuously transplanted and people can live younger and younger, and even achieve immortality,” said Vladimir Putin. Xi Jinping replied, “Predictions are, this century, there is also a chance of living to 150.” It was casual, almost playful. But the air around those words was heavy. Because when the powerful speak of immortality, they are rarely talking about poetry or legacy. They are talking about staying...

What is a sad truth about life?

By
Image
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 ...

8 Livros que todo lider deveria ler!

8 Terrific Leadership Books That Every Leader Must Read To Step Up Their Game Originally published at  www.lmt-lss.com . 1. Drive: The Surprising Truth About What Motivates Us by Daniel H. Pink If you think success depends on rewards, this book will prove you wrong. Daniel argues that the concept of incentive-based system for motivation is now old-school. Many incidents (such as the success of Wikipedia) prove that the true secret of fulfillment at work, school, and home is intrinsic drive — not extrinsic rewards. Which means we perform well not because of our promotion at work, but because we love the work itself — a breakthrough idea on success and motivation. 2. Act Like a Leader, Think Like a Leader by Herminia Ibarra Small changes in life can bring big, unexpected results. Through this book, Ibarra sets up a foundation of leadership that involves redefining our everyday work life. What kind of work is important? How should you invest your ...

Owner of Red Bull : Dietrich Mateschitz Dies of Pancreatic Cancer - 2022

What a Tragedy! The worth of a Shakespearean tale, Red Bull's owner Dietrich Mateschitz dies of Pancreatic Cancer... My mom always told me: Son Stop drinking Energy Drinks... they are bad for you and give you cancer! I have never really believed it... until now at least! If the MULTI-BILLIONAIRE owner of Red Bull, that once claimed to drink dozens of cans a day, died of PANCREATIC CANCER... who am I to test my odds? Just 7% of people with pancreatic cancer are alive after five years. The pancreatic cancer survival rate after ten years is less than 2%. Yet among these dismal statistics is a faint glimmer of hope. OFFICIALLY TODAY I STOPPED DRINKING ENERGY DRINKS FOR LIFE! Dietrich Mateschitz  is an Austrian billionaire businessman and the co-owner of the canned energy drink brand 'Red Bull.' The idea of launching an energy drink in the European market hit his mind during a business trip. Mateschitz liked the taste of a Thai drink, which eventually became the formula for ...
