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...

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 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...

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...

Very Interesting: GOD (DEUS) and Ten Commandments (must watch!)

By

GoD How to imagine God? Some like to think of him as a giant old man with a gray beard, others think of him as a rich guy with nothing to do. Totoro likes to think of him as Morgan Freeman in a white suit. Woody Allen has said: “If God exist, you better have a good excuse.” https://youtu.be/t11JYaJcpxg CAST Clarice Falcão Rafael Infante TEN COMMANDMENTS Six thousand years ago, when a hairy man came down from a hill carrying a rock, he was considered cool. Nowadays, this is a crime. But one thing never changed: when there is an evangelical pastor, the media will follow. CAST Fábio Porchat Gregorio Duvivier Luis Lobianco Rafael Infante

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...

Qual é a diferença entre ser esperto e ser inteligente?

By

Tiago Arantes de Nascimento · 30 de março Antigo Técnico industrial Qual é a diferença entre ser esperto e ser inteligente? O esperto é um produto do meio, uma pessoa que não teve condições de ter uma boa educação mas que é muito vivida e extremamente perspicaz e criativo encontra soluções para seus problemas mesmo com pouco recurso. Como geralmente passam por muitas dificuldades desde a infância então possui uma intuição mais aguçada que lhe permite não ser enganado facilmente assim como se utiliza dessa habilidade para perceber as fraquezas das pessoas e as manipula para benefício próprio. Sabe qual o maior esperto que já conheci ? Ele mesmo, João Grilo, do meu filme preferido, o Auto da Compadecida. O amarelo mais sabido que já vi, retrato do matuto sertanejo que dribla as adversidades da vida usando a esperteza. Apesar de na maioria das vezes agir sem ética não dá pra negar que ele é esperto demais. Ganhou dinheiro de sacerdotes, matou lampião, riu da cara do diabo, se livrou d...
