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...

25 Alan Watts Quotes to Teach You the Transformative Power of InsighsPi

25 Alan Watts Quotes to Teach You the Transformative Power of Insighs Pin A prolific author and speaker, Alan Wilson Watts is credited with the interpretation and introduction of Eastern philosophy to the Western audience. As his mother’s students were children of missionaries to Asia, Watts began to be fascinated by Asian art, literature, and philosophy; so in time, he learned Chinese and started to explore the fundamental beliefs and practices of religions and philosophies of India and East Asia. After a rigorous research in Zen Buddhism, Watts published one of the first books on the topic –  The Way of Zen  – introducing the burgeoning youth culture to it. Due to all the wisdom it embodies, Watts even suggested that Buddhism could be presented and taught as a form of psychotherapy, and not only as a religion. Alan Watts is the author of more than 25 books on various topics such as philosophy, Eastern and Western religion, natural history, semanti...

Milton Hershey

  IF there was ever a man who was wealthy, but was an even greater human being…..it would be Milton Hershey. Google him, but I am sure the story does not tell his whole story. He created towns (not only in Hershey Pa, but also on the sugar plantations he owned in other countries.), he created hospitals for his workers, he created schools for his workers children, he made railroads for transportation, he created his own orphanage for disadvantaged children, schooled them and gave them the choice of college or a stipend to start life with. He built a series of “McMansions” for his executives, right across the street from the factory and his executive were on call 24/7 if any trouble developed in the factory. Milton Hershey build an amusement park, a stadium, and their candy making museum in Hershey. When he and his wife were in Italy on holiday they stayed in an Italian villa that his wife fell in love with. So Milton Hershey had an architect design and build a similar large villa (I...

Advice For Failures. - Conselhos sobre falhar....

Advice For Failures. BY JON WESTENBERG Don’t Be Too Stubborn. I like stubborn people. I like people who are bullish on the things that they believe in, and don’t give up easy. Those are the people who build incredible things and shake age-old foundations. Those are the people who will drive us deeper into space and further into technology, who we’ll look back on as true legends. It’s tough to see where you should be stubborn and where you should admit defeat though. Because even the geniuses, the generals and the giants of our world have known that from time to time, admitting defeat is the right thing to do. If you can be honest with yourself and make that call, that it’s time to quit and it’s the right time to quit – you’ll be better equipped to take on your next project. Who knows. Your next shot could change the world. Walk Away. There is no shame in walking away from a project. Sometimes you can’t do much of anything else. When the chips are down, and you’re out o...

Gapminder – Hans Rosling  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.  https://www.gapminder.org/ Almost nobody knows the basic global facts!
