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...

Raramente posto ultimamente mas este é um texto que vale a pena ser registrado para posteridade! Obrigado Luciano!!! Oi pessoal, recentemente fui convidado para um jantar na casa do Silvio Santos com a família Abravanel. E lá recebi esse texto escrito pelo próprio Silvio Santos sobre o que ele descrevia sobre ter êxito na vida. Vou ler para vocês. —————- Os segredos do êxito.  Eu acredito na sorte, mas também acredito que cada homem trabalha o seu próprio destino. Bom ou mal, nunca coloco em postos chaves homens que não sabem obedecer. Ninguém pode aprender a mandar sem antes aprender a obedecer. Sempre tenho tido uma fé inquebrantável em Deus, mas nunca espero que Ele faça o meu trabalho. Desde muito jovem, pratico dois preceitos. Trabalhar muito e gastar pouco. Se uma pessoa se invaidece com o primeiro êxito, grande ou pequeno, está perdido. A vida é uma luta que só deve term...

The note, which Einstein gave to a courier in lieu of a tip, sold for $1.56 million on Tuesday to an anonymous buyer. Menahem Kahana/AFP/Getty Images The year 1922 was a busy one for Albert Einstein: He completed his first paper on unified field theory, went to Paris to help normalize French-German relations and joined an intellectuals committee at the League of Nations. Shortly before heading to Asia for a lecture tour, he learned that he had won the 1921 Nobel Prize in physics . But rather than head to Stockholm for the award ceremony, he decided to keep his plans and continued to Japan. When he arrived in...

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

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...

Orison Swett Marden: An Original Thinker

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...
