 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...

BEST BOOKS FOR EVOKING SPIRITS

By
  BEST BOOKS FOR EVOKING SPIRITS Updated:  Feb 14 2022 Hello once again, welcome to todays post. The title may seem odd, but Christians do believe the bible is the most authentic book (as I said Christians). It’s the book that contains spiritual guidance for those who seek to be close with their creator. The following books I called them “BIBLES OF EVOCATION” not because they are very accurate but the information and teachings that are found within these books are enough for anybody who decides to learn on how to communicate with deities of the other side. The books have explored the most important things necessary for practitioner to evoke spirits to visible appearance. And even if that level won’t be reached sooner, if the instructions are followed to outmost precise the communication to the other side is guaranteed. If you don’t know what is the meaning of evocation and how does it differ from summoning and invocation click HERE. Let’s start our count down, Evoking eter...

John H. Patterson and the Sales Strategy of the National Cash Register Company, 1884 to 1922 by Walter A. Friedman John H.

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...
