 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.

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 claimed

What is the most Important in Life? - Nurturing Meaning: Unveiling the Essence of Human Experience

By

  What is most Important in Life? This question is one that's close to the heart, something that so many of us ponder over. The pursuit of what truly matters in life is a journey as unique as each individual. While there's no one-size-fits-all answer, let's delve into some insights that have resonated with countless souls, as I've discovered through my web explorations. Picture this: health, a cornerstone of existence. It's not just about the physical; it encompasses mental and emotional well-being too. Think of your body as a canvas, and the colors you fill it with—balanced meals, regular movement, restful sleep—create a masterpiece of vitality. Remember, health isn't just a solo act; it's the backdrop against which relationships, work, and passions unfold. Ah, relationships—the tapestry of human connection. Family, friends, partners—these are the threads that weave our story. They offer a sanctuary of love, support, and a deep sense of belonging. They chal

Super Car of the Famous People

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 is his Bugatti V

Conceitos Sobre a Vida - Repo Men - Um futuro... distante ?!!

    Hoje assisti a um filme chamado REPOMAN - O Resgate de órgãos ou REPOSSESSION. Esse filme é de 2010 e engraçado como já fazem 4 anos, alguém me disse que precisava assistir a esse filme.... Independente das críticas positivas ou negativas, da trama um tanto previsível, e da falto de alguns artifícios hollywoodianos típicos, o que mais me chamou atenção e me fez não parar de pensar nesse filme (até o ponto de escrever esse blog depois de tanto tempo... :) é o fato da FRAGILIDADE HUMANA!  Como somos frágeis! Como não nos damos conta disso até perdermos um membro, ou ficarmos doentes ou, como no filme mostra: perdermos um órgão!  Um órgão!!!! Apenas 1 órgão!!!! e toda nossa vida vai por água abaixo! Nossa estrutura física, Emocional e familiar se desmantela. Passamos a viver dependentes de terapias, remédios, uma fila de espera para um transplante ou como no filme mostra, passamos a ficar endividados para o "resto da vida" com um órgão artificial! Que

59. HUAN DISPERSÃO (DISSOLUÇÃO) Acima: SUN, A SUAVIDADE, VENTO. Abaixo: SUN, A SUAVIDADE, VENTO. O vento soprando sobre a água vem a dispersá-la e dissolvê-la em espuma e vapor. Isso sugere que a energia vital de um homem, quando está acumulada em seu interior (o que é indicado como sendo perigoso pelo atributo do trigrama inferior), poderá ser libertada pela suavidade que dissolve o bloqueio. Julgamento DISPERSÃO. Sucesso. O rei aproxima-se de seu templo. É favorável atravessar a grande água. A perseverança é favorável. O texto desse hexagrama assemelha-se ao do hexagrama Ts’ui, REUNIÃO (45). Lá trata-se da reunião dos elementos que se separaram, assim como a água se reúne sobre a terra, formando lagos. Aqui o tema é a dispersão e a dissolução do egoísmo que a tudo separa. O hexagrama DISPERSÃO mostra o caminho que, por assim dizer, conduz à reunião. Isso explica a semelhança dos dois textos. Para superar o egoísmo que separa os homens é preciso recorrer a forças religiosas. O me
