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...

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...

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 20 Most Life-Altering Concepts I’ve Ever Embraced

By
The 20 Most Life-Altering Concepts I’ve Ever Embraced Do you have one life lesson or philosophy that has changed the course of your life? Sometimes you can read something or have a life experience that hits you over the head with its brilliance and perfection. A huge mind shift takes place, and your life is forever altered for the better. These can be years in the making or overnight sensations. I've had my share of both, and even the overnight sensations can take years to fully assimilate in my psyche. But the important thing  is the discovery of these concepts and how you apply them to your life. Once you realize these great truths are out there, it becomes a lifelong quest to discover more of them. That's what personal development is all about — the ongoing search for the truths that will set us free to be who we are and to live our best possible lives. Through my adult years, there have been many of these concepts that I've discovered (or that have ...

Talent is cheaper than table salt. and 10 other best Quotes by Stephen King

By
Image
Talent is cheaper than table salt. What separates the talented individual from the successful one is a lot of hard work.  Monsters are real, and ghosts are real too. They live inside us, and sometimes, they win. The trust of the innocent is the liar's most useful tool.    The devil's voice is sweet to hear.  You can't deny laughter; when it comes, it plops down in your favorite chair and stays as long as it wants.  The place where you made your stand never mattered. Only that you were there... and still on your feet.   When asked, 'How do you write?' I invariably answer, 'one word at a time.'  The most important things are the hardest things to say. They are the things you get ashamed of because words diminish your feelings - words shrink things that seem timeless when they are in your head to no more than living size when they are brought out. And in real life endings aren't always neat, whether they're happy endings, or whether they...

Gapminder – Hans Rosling  The Swedish scientist Hans Rosling had been working with  developmental data for over 30 years— but it took a great visualization and a 2007 TED talk for him to share his passion with the world.  His original viz (now one of many) shows the relationship between income and life expectancy in 200 countries over 200 years, in just four minutes. The data is simple but Rosling’s visual storytelling transformed how people approach data presentation.  https://www.gapminder.org/ Almost nobody knows the basic global facts!
