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...

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 airline industry will be ravaged for years to come and the effects will be felt across the entire economy, a new Moody's report says dslotnick@businessinsider.com (David Slotnick)   The airline industry will be ravaged for years to come and the effects will be felt across the entire economy, a new Moody's report says   Commercial aviation will be ravaged by the COVID-19 pandemic for years to come, according to a new report from Moody's.

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...

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...

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 u...
