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...

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.

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

By

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...

6 de abril de 2017   Mr. Flow Flow Your Career (Se preferir ler em Português, clique aqui:  http://bit.ly/2jX7rGY ) Blissipline is not something you can easily find on the internet as it’s not a formal word. But, Google it, and Urban Dictionary will gladly explain you the meaning of this not-yet-famous term, and give you the first hints of how important it may be in your life. According to ColleteKenney on urbandicionary.com, Blissipline is “…the combination of Bliss and Discipline. The term is used in the context of being in the now (bliss) as you strive towards achieving your goals (which takes discipline). With blissipline you no longer pursue your goals with grim determination or use fear to motivate you. Instead, there is a joyous energy behind everything you do. You are in the now, and the steps towards your goal are a blissful journey rather than a means to an end.” So, putting it in simple words: Blissipline happens when you dedicate yourself to achieve a goal, bu...

 Daikiti Puerto Ricans have a very peculiar way of speaking (read it "their accent").  Called Boricuas (read more below), I'm blessed to have one as my soulmate, directly from Santurce Puerto Rico! It is known that  Puerto Rican  descendants  call  themselves  Puerto Ricans . ...  Boricua , derived from the Taíno word Boriken is used to affirm  Puerto Ricans  devotion to the island's Taíno heritage. The word Boriken translates to "the great land of the valiant and noble Lord". Bad Bunny is a very popular Puerto Rico Singer and just released it's brand new song called DAIKITI.   "Dakiti means empowerment, fighter, boss b--ch," someone wrote in the replies, attributing the definition to Karol G. Another responded, "Dakiti is a sensation of euphoria that you feel when you are having a really nice time on the go." As a mix of Ostentation (money) Latin Rap together with tons of sex the music is super catchy. However, understanding the Sl...

Do we Need $75,000 a Year to Be Happy?

  Do we Need $75,000 a Year to Be Happy? A new study by Princeton University researchers puts a figure on happiness: $75,000 a year By Belinda Luscombe   Monday, Sept. 06, 2010 Kelly Blair for Time Happiness caps at $75K People say money doesn't buy happiness. Except, according to a new study from Princeton University's Woodrow Wilson School, it sort of does — up to about $75,000 a year. The lower a person's annual income falls below that benchmark, the unhappier he or she feels. But no matter how much more than $75,000 people make, they don't report any greater degree of happiness. Before employers rush to hold — or raise — everyone's salary to $75,000, the study points out that there are actually two types of happiness. There's your changeable, day-to-day mood: whether you're stressed or blue or feeling emotionally sound. Then there's the deeper satisfaction you feel about the way your life is going — the kind of thing Tony Robbins  tries to teach you ...

Kierkegaard: Para onde ir ?!

By

  Kierkegaard: Para onde ir ?!  "O que eu realmente preciso é ter clareza sobre o que eu devo fazer, não sobre o que eu devo saber, salvo à medida que o saber precede toda ação. Trata-se de compreender o meu destino, de ver o que a divindade realmente quer que eu faça;  trata-se de encontrar uma verdade que seja verdade para mim, de encontrar a ideia pela qual quero viver e morrer. " Essas são palavras retiradas do diário de Søren Kierkegaard, de quando ele tinha 22 anos. Kierkegaard foi um dos maiores filósofos da história. Considerado um dos pais do Existencialismo, sua filosofia era fortemente construída a partir das suas próprias experiências de vida. Nesse trecho, que apesar de muito simples, me chama atenção a ambição dele em  encontrar uma ideia pela qual quer viver e morrer . É algo que muitos de nós procuramos hoje, e provavelmente poucos realmente vão encontrar. A maioria das pessoas morre sem nem chegar perto disso. Não é fácil encontrar algo pelo qual val...
