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...

Tracy Chapman - Immortal

By
Image
  Aspotlight comes up on  Tracy Chapman  as she moves into the a capella song “Behind the Wall.” She sings from the point of view of a neighbor hearing a woman screaming in the apartment next door. Her trembling contralto soars and then, just as quickly, falls into a whisper. Between verses, she lets the air settle into silence before charging into the dark scene once again. The last lines—“The police/Always come late/If they come at all”—ring off into nothing. Chapman wrote the song in 1983, while she was still a student at Tufts University and busking in Boston for distracted passersby. Within five years, she would perform it for a television audience of 600 million in a packed Wembley Stadium for Nelson Mandela’s 70th birthday benefit concert. Alone on that massive stage, guitar in hand, she allowed the echoing mic and screaming crowd to amplify the quiet of the song. And as she sang with that magnetic calm, she built an atmosphere as intimate as each listener’s childh...

John Henry Patterson (NCR owner)

John H. Patterson and the Sales Strategy of the National Cash Register Company, 1884 to 1922 by Walter A. Friedman John H. Patterson's sales management techniques built National Cash Register into the dominant force in its industry and had a major impact on the development of modern selling. This excerpt from  Business History Review  looks at one aspect of the Patterson method. John H. Patterson created an intricate system of management to monitor and train company salesman. He gave them scripts to memorize and assigned them territory to cover. He held conventions and thematic sales contests, and pressured salesmen to rid their regions of competition. Patterson sought to create a method of sales management that encompassed all aspects of selling, from the calculation of quotas and commission rates to the motivation of discouraged salesmen. This excerpt looks at one aspect of the Patterson method: the N.C.R. Pri...

The workforce is fractured. This is how leaders need to bring people together - July 2020

The workforce is fractured. This is how leaders need to bring people together Katie Jacobs     For most businesses, the early stages of the coronavirus pandemic were a sprint. Digital transformation that would have taken years was completed in days, as vast swathes of the workforce began to work from home. Retailers and hospitality outlets switched to delivery-only models. In the U.K., HR professionals and business owners grappled with the complexities of the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme, enabling them to furlough staff rather than let them go, with the government paying 80% of the wage bill. In the U.S.,  Paycheck Protection Program  loans meant to enable small businesses to keep workers on the payroll were  challenging to navigate , if they were able to get the funds at all. Several months later, it has become painfully, exhaustingly clear that what we thought was a sprint is, in fact, a marathon. The additional adrenaline rush of new ways of ...

Orison Swett Marden: An Original Thinker

By

Orison Swett Marden: An Original Thinker By  Jeffrey Gitomer  |  July 8, 2011  |  0  It’s very hard to find original thought. Orison Swett Marden  was part of “The New Thought Movement,” a spiritual group that emphasized metaphysical beliefs and personal development. While there were religious overtones, the philosophies were fundamentally based on infinite insight and intelligence. Here’s a classic Marden quote: Don’t wait for extraordinary opportunities. Seize common occasions and make them great.   Weak men wait for opportunities; strong men make them. Marden was influenced and inspired—as were many—by one of the original personal-development writers,  Samuel Smiles . Smiles was an original. The Smiles book,  Self-Help , was the trigger for Marden’s career. “The little book was the friction which awakened the spark sleeping in the flint,” Marden is quoted as saying. The 21st century translation might be, “S...

Alan Watts on The True Meaning of Life

By

 “The meaning of life is just to be ALIVE!” - Alan Watts  This phrase (despite seeming very hard to digest…) has a very deep significance.  I will try to explain: As human beings, we tend to create a necessity for meaning or purpose in life. If not, our lives can (many times) just feel “empty” or “lacking something”. Like without a north or a guide. So we set forth The unconsciously master plan: - I live to be rich . (seen by society as Greedy behavior) - For my kids, relative, parents, husband/wife . (“As expected”) - I live for myself (seen as a selfish behavior)  - I live to work (seen as inevitable) - I live for others/charity (seen as altruistic)  And any other adjectives or “purposes” you can imagine!  Just pleaseeee!!!! Don’t you dare to Live for no purpose! Because then you are not only seen as “lost” you are also seen as with “lack of motivation, goal or even reason to live many times. We normally do all that unconsciously and without realizing ...
