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...

Confie na Poeira Estelar

# ☄️ Confie na Poeira Estelar ### Quando uma lata de cerveja me lembrou quem eu sou 🗓️ *Escrito entre um hotel próximo ao aeroporto de Miami e um ônibus rumo a Orlando. Enquanto minha esposa, filha e nossos dois cães 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… até uma cerveja me lembrou quem eu sou. Estava ali, parado no aeroporto, cansado da espera e da saudade. Peguei uma cerveja sem pensar muito, só pra passar o tempo. Mas a cerveja não era qualquer uma. Era uma **Space Dust IPA**. O rótulo brilhava. Um ser feito de lúpulo soprava uma poeira cósmica. E ali, escrito na lata, lia-se: > **“Trust the Dust.”** **Confie na poeira.** E foi exatamente isso que eu fiz. --- ## 🌌 De volta a 1991 Quando eu tinha 7 anos, em Blumenau, recebi um papel com uma pergunta simples: > “O que você quer ser quando crescer?” Lembro do cheiro da casa. Lembro da minha m...

O Oráculo do Tao – Capítulo: A Força do Grande e o Limite Invisível

By
“O que parece um muro pode ser um espelho. O que te trava, te mostra.” Era para ser simples. Apenas redirecionar correspondências para a casa do meu irmão de alma, Renato. Meu melhor amigo. Confiança total. Tudo acordado, fluindo. Mas, de repente, como se uma linha invisível tivesse sido cruzada, o ambiente se incendiou: Maria, sua companheira, entrou em conflito com ele, em um nível quase mítico — um embate que pareceu acionar forças muito maiores do que um simples envelope. E nesse vórtice emocional, surge o I Ching, o Livro das Mutações. Um espelho da realidade sutil. Fiz a consulta em busca de clareza. Recebi: Hexagrama 34 – O Poder do Grande (Da Zhuang) O céu troveja sobre o céu. Força criativa em expansão. Um momento de grande potência interior, de força vital acumulada, como um leão pronto para saltar. Eu sentia isso. Essa fase da vida — com minha família, minha Kombi, minha missão nômade — me dava um sentimento de estar pleno, decidido, energizado. Mas o Tao avisava: "Use ...

The Most Important Life Lesson From Andy Dufresne and The Shawshank Redemption

By
Image
The Most Important Life Lesson From Andy Dufresne and The Shawshank Redemption Gen Cruz Stephen King is one of the most prolific novelists of our time. One among his finest works is a novella titled Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption. The movie based on this story titled The Shawshank Redemption ended up as King’s most critically acclaimed film adaptation. It is hailed as the greatest film to never win an Oscar best picture award, and regarded as one of the greatest films in history. The novella is about a dispassionate big-shot banker serving life imprisonment in Shawshank Penitentiary, and his seemingly miraculous escape. The Story Andy Dufresne was judged guilty for the murder of his wife and her lover, a crime that at first seemed to the reader a cut and dry case. However, Andy was explicitly revealed to be innocent later on. Despite of this, Andy retained his stoic demeanor. He was angry for his predicament sure, but his feelings dictated neither his actions nor his attitu...

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...

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...

Advice is worthless, except when it’s not - Conselhos são dispensáveis... mas as vezes não!

By
Image
Advice is worthless, except when it’s not One of my mentors once gave me a piece of advice on advice (meta-advice. Metavice™.): “My job is to give you lots of advice. Your job is to ignore 95% of it.” I sat there for a moment, deciding whether or not to point out that he had just given me advice, and if I should ignore 95% of advice, I should probably ignore what he just said. Or something. I decided not to bring it up. Instead, I asked the obvious question: “How do I decide between what’s in the 95% and what’s in the 5%?” If you’re doing something interesting, it’s probably really hard. To pull it off, you want to learn from others’ mistakes, and that means getting lots of advice and input. However, you’re probably trying to do something that’s never been done before, and that means ignoring precedent, breaking glass and trying what others have failed to do. Most of all: even smart, well-intended people  love  pontificating on things they know nothing about. So...
