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...

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...

Welcome to Gibtown, the last 'freakshow' town in America With the demise of the carnival, an important slice of American history risks being lost – but the residents of Gibsonton, Florida, are trying to keep the legacy of the town’s famous ‘freaks’ alive Ward Hall, 84. He has been in the sideshow business for 70 years.  Guardian Kim Wall  and  Caterina Clerici  in Gibsonton, Florida Thu 26 Feb 2015 09.15 EST 30 F or those who didn’t quite fit elsewhere, Gibtown was a utopia. Its first settlers, the Giant, and his wife, the Half-Woman, ran a campsite, a bakeshop and the fire department. The post office catered to little people with extra-low counters, and the beer hall had custom-built chairs for the Fat Ladies and the Tallest Man. Special zoning regulations allowed residents to keep and train exotic animals in their gardens. Siamese-twin sisters ran a fruit stand. Three factories manufactured Ferris wheels and carousels. Or at least that’s how Ward Hall, aka the King...

WHAT IS BLISSIPLINE? LIVING A LIFE OF FLOW

By

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...

Mandala or Mandorla?

By
Mandala or Mandorla? "Happily...we have a solution. This is the mandorla... It is far too valuable a concept to have lost." Owning Your Own Shadow -- by R. Johnson "Everyone knows what a  mandala  is,  even though  mandala  is a Sanskrit idea borrowed from India and Tibet. A mandala is a holy circle or bounded place that is a representation of wholeness..... the Tibetan  tanka  [for example], a picture generally of the Buddha in his many attributes... Mandalas are devices that remind us of our unity with god and all living things." Mandalas are found in places as diverse as a Tibetan monastery, an Indian ashram or a Christian cathedral. In the christian version, the mandala is most often represented as a rose flowering. It appears in Gothic architecture as a  rose window ,  frequently representing a healing symbol in christian mythology. While mandalas are perhaps more familiar to many  persons, the  mandorla  is an important s...

  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 ...

Cognitive Apparatus and the Nature of the Mind in Tibetan Buddhism By Lyudmila Klasanova Buddhistdoor Global  |   2020-06-29   |   62 Trolltunga, Norway. Image courtesy of the author A human being is a complex entity, eager to know the outer and inner world. The process of acquiring such knowledge is possible through our cognitive apparatus, which includes mind, consciousness, senses, and so on. Tibetan Buddhism has a unique system of understanding cognition and a profound knowledge of the nature of the mind. Various Tibetan terms express different aspects of this cognitive apparatus.  Sem  translates as “mind” and “consciousness,” and refers to the ability to think and perceive.  Yid  is also translated as “mind,” but also as “intellectual faculty” and is associated with the idea of ​​“conceptual mind.”  Lo  is a different term for “conceptual mind” and “intellect.”  Namshe  or  nampar shepa  means “consciousness,” “...
