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...

BrainstBorming Does Not Work

BrainSt orming Does Not Work Why people who brainstorm are wasting their time. Brainstorming was invented by advertising executive Alex Osborn in 1939 and first published in 1942 in his book  How to Think Up . This is a typical description, from James Manktelow, founder and CEO of MindTools, a company that promotes brainstorming as a way to “develop creative solutions to business problems”: Brainstorming is often used in a business setting to encourage teams to come up with original ideas. It’s a freewheeling meeting format, in which the leader sets out the problem that needs to be solved. Participants then suggest ideas for solving the problem, and build on ideas suggested by others. A firm rule is that ideas must not be criticized — they can be completely wacky and way out. This frees people up to explore ideas creatively and break out of established thinking patterns. As well as generating some great solutions to specific problems, brainstorming can be a lot of fun. Osborn cla...

I Have 15 ideas To Change Your Life. Do you Have 5 Minutes?

I Have 15 ideas To Change Your Life. Do you Have 5 Minutes? Darius Foroux  in  The Startup May 20  · 5 min read I’m the last person to say that life is easy. I don’t think that’s the case at all. But there’s one thing I’ve learned in recent years that changed everything. The way you THINK determines the outcome of your life. But thinking is hard. That’s why we don’t do it often enough. Helen Keller said it best: “People don’t like to think, if one thinks, one must reachconclusions. Conclusions are not always pleasant.” I’ll show you 15 thoughts about life that will forever transform the way you live. Ready? Let’s go. 1: Think big, act small Want to build a big company? Change people’s lives? Make a contribution to the world? Earn a million bucks? Never let anything hold you back when you think of ideas. “It’s too difficult.” “Other people are already doing it.” So what? You might as well aim high. You’ve got n...

To Be a Great Investor, You Must Treasure This One Thing Most People Hate

To Be a Great Investor, You Must Treasure This One Thing Most People Hate Last Updated on   July 7, 2017 From its source on the Tibetan plateau, the Yangtze River winds its way 3,900 miles through China and terminates near the mega-city of Shanghai. The Yangtze is one of the world’s longest, most powerful rivers. For more than 2,000 years, it has played a key role in Chinese history as a source of drinking water, a crop irrigator, and as a transportation network. Although the Yangtze has supported lives, it has ended many others. In 1931, torrential rains caused the Yangtze to flood its banks, which wiped out crops and lead to the deaths of an estimated 3.7 million people, making it one of the deadliest natural disasters in history. In 1954, another round of flooding resulted in the deaths of more than 30,000 people. In the early 1990s, the Chinese decided to harness the Yangtze with a huge dam. At over 1 mile long and almost 600 feet tall, the Three Gorges Dam is the largest hydro...

Iemanjá & Shamans & Ayahuasca - All to HEAL YOU!!!

By
Image
Iemanjá is a goddess of the sea in the Yoruba religion, which originated in West Africa and was brought to Brazil by enslaved Africans during the colonial period. She is one of the most revered and popular orixás, or divine forces, in the Candomblé and Umbanda faiths, which are Afro-Brazilian religions that blend elements of African, Catholic, and indigenous beliefs. Iemanjá is also known as Yemoja, Yemaya, or Yemanyá in other parts of the Americas, such as Cuba, Haiti, and the United States. Iemanjá is the mother of all living things and the ruler of the waters. She is associated with fertility, creation, protection, and healing. She is often depicted as a beautiful woman with long black hair, wearing white or blue clothes and jewelry. She may also appear as a mermaid or a fish. She has many children, both human and divine, and is especially close to Oxalá, the supreme orixá, and Xangô, the god of thunder. She is also the patroness of fishermen, sailors, and travelers. Iemanjá is cele...

How was it to adapt to “normal” life after vagabonding / vanlife? by Paul Fenn

By
Image
By  Paul Fenn For me, a year of unalloyed hell. As I’ve shared on this site probably too many times, between the ages of 28 and 33, I had the luxury of taking five years off to travel and not work — other than when I wanted to break the terrible monotony of non-stop adventure, islands, beaches, boats, bikes, girls and reading all the books I’d never gotten to. Lots of it happened on sailing yachts. I spent the bulk of those years in SE Asia and did several blue-water yacht-hitching passages — around the Fiji Isles, Fiji-NZ, Singapore-Heart of Borneo-Manila, Manila-Okinawa, down the Pacific from Barra de Navidad (Mexico)-Puntarenas (Costa Rica), and many lesser passages mainly out of Singapore, delivering yachts to Malaysia and Thailand. There were also several cargo ship passages in Indonesia and other lands. Once I found my feet, I traveled with increasing roughness and gnarliness, in order to make my money (C$100,000) last. And to toughen up. I’d made the money as a sales exec, a...

Super Car of the Famous People

By

Jay-Z's Mercedes Maybach Exelero Price:  $8 million Featured in his music video "Lost One," this car is  truly one-of-a-kind . Made by Italian car company Stola, it was manufactured only once. It is said to be able to reach 218 mph and can go from 0-62 mph in 4.4 seconds. The Exelero, it would seem, is not one of Jay-Z's 99 problems.   Jay Leno's McLaren F1 Price:  $22 million Of all Leno's vehicles, the  McLaren F1  is certainly one of the most impressive, if only for its price. There were only 106 made. Created by Formula One race-car designer Gordon Murray, the F1 is made of lightweight premium materials such as kevlar, carbon fiber, and titanium and is supposed to be one of the best supercars ever made. Tom Brady's Bugatti Veyron Price:  $3 million Tom Brady has seven Super Bowl wins and a  garage full of impressive cars  that he might have a little more time to drive now that he's retiring from the NFL. Perhaps the most impressive i...
