Frano Selak, “el hombre con más suerte del mundo”, regala todo su dinero para ser feliz Frano es un viejo profesor de música croata, llamado “el hombre más afortunado del mundo” después de que lograra escapar a la muerte en no menos de siete ocasiones y ganar casi 700.000 euros a la lotería hace 5 años. Frano dice que ahora es más feliz…después de regalar toda su dinero a familiares y amigos. “¡Ser su cuñado debe ser una suerte!”, pensarán algunos; pero nada comparado a la flor con la que ha nacido en su trasero este croata jubilado. Superen ésto, sin repetir medio de locomoción (sólo él puede permitírselo): - En 1962, un tren en el que viajaba a Sarajevo descarriló y se precipitó a un río helado. - Un año más tarde, Selak volaba de Zagreb a Rijeka cuando una puerta del avión se abrió y fue absorbido hacia el exterior. - En 1970 iba conduciendo cuando su coche empezó a arder. - En 1995 fue atropellado por un autobús en Zagreb, pero sólo tuvo heridas superficiales. - En 1996, mientras conducía por una carretera de montaña, un camión invadió su carril. ¿Y tú?

Fallen Princesses by Dina Goldstein Great photo series titled “Fallen Princesses” by Dina Goldstein… Dina Goldstein Superbe série de photos intitulée “Fallen Princesses” par Dina Goldstein… Dina Goldstein A equipa « UndiscoveredCoach Olá, Esta semana encontrei um vídeo muito engraçado e representativo do que tenho escrito. O vídeo conta a história de um grupo de rapazes que decidiu formar uma equipa de futebol. Podia esta ser uma história igual a muitas outras não fosse passada numa povoação flutuante onde não havia terra firme para construir um campo de futebol. Do vídeo gostava de salientar o seguinte: A declaração de visão dos rapazes. Numa povoação flutuante qual é o tipo de campo de futebol que existe? Campo que oscila, pregos salientes e tábuas molhadas enquanto jogam! Os outros! O momento do campeonato. A semifinal. Esta semana qual é a minha visão, o que me enche de energia, o que me define? Então o que está à espera? Até para a semana. João Gostar disto: Gosto Carregando...

Color Wheel Romance & Curbly | DIY Design Community & Keywords: paint, color, wheel, primary Webster’s defines a color wheel as "a circular diagram of the spectrum used to show the relationships between the colors." Yeah, it wasn’t helpful to me either in actually interpreting the wheel for practical use. Some further investigation of color and compatibility was needed. The Players The traditional color wheel consists of 12 colors. If you combine two of the primaries, you will create either orange, green and purple, which are considered the secondary colors on the wheel. The tertiary colors on the wheel are created by combining a secondary color and its primary neighbor. T’s & S’s Think tint, tone and shade mean the same thing? On my particular color wheel, tint, tone and shade are represented in the individual "slices" of the pie. Feel the Heat All colors have a temperature. You might want to keep a color’s temperature in mind when considering the exposure of a room. Of course, the climate in which you live might dictate your choice as well.

SCHOPENHAUER'S 38 STRATAGEMS, OR 38 WAYS TO WIN AN ARGUMENT Arthur Schopenhauer (1788-1860), was a brilliant German philosopher. These 38 Stratagems are excerpts from "The Art of Controversy", first translated into English and published in 1896. Carry your opponent's proposition beyond its natural limits; exaggerate it. The more general your opponent's statement becomes, the more objections you can find against it. The more restricted and narrow his or her propositions remain, the easier they are to defend by him or her. Use different meanings of your opponent's words to refute his or her argument. (abstracted from the book:Numerical Lists You Never Knew or Once Knew and Probably Forget, by: John Boswell and Dan Starer)
Your Daily Life in GIFs (5.14.12) When you break up with someone: When someone on Facebook is fishing for compliments: When you’re in the club with a friend: When your arm falls asleep and you try to use it: When someone tricks you into watching a gross video: When you’re obviously joking, but someone thinks you’re being serious: When the bell rings and the teacher tries to give you homework: When you read the ingredients of your favorite junk food: When your lips are chapped and you don’t have chapstick: When you go to the bathroom after someone else: When you were little and your mom yelled, “Who wants ice cream?” When someone gives a really boring speech: When your friend introduces you to someone for the first time, then leaves for a phone call: When an update requires you to restart the computer: When your friend gets a weird new haircut: When you touch the bathroom doorknob and it’s wet: When you’re almost done with a book and you realize there aren’t enough pages left for all the things that need to happen: <–Back to Home Page
Desafio de uma Época « UndiscoveredCoach Friedrich Nietzsche – found in the Cool Kids Never Die blog (Photo credit: Cea.) Olá, Já aqui escrevi sobre a forma como interpretamos o nosso passado, avaliamos o nosso presente e nos projetamos no futuro através dos nossos juízos. No entanto vários têm sido os exemplos de sucesso de organizações que quebram com o passado. Tais organizações (e as pessoas que as constituem) não se definem pelo seu passado e pelos seus juízos mas pelo que querem conseguir, pela sua visão e ações. O passado é então rescrito/reinterpretado à luz de novas aprendizagens que constroem no caminho de encontro à sua visão. Existe nesse caminho algo de mágico quando mudamos as nossas interpretações. Além disso um desafio é algo que nos abre possibilidades de ação enquanto um problema é algo que nos limita. Diante do mundo de ideias atuais qual é a nossa visão, a nossa nova ideia, a nossa grandeza? Até para a semana. João Gostar disto: Gosto Carregando...
Hellish nightmare of suffering and devastation: 10-Year-Long Game of Civilisation Predicts Grim Future for Humanity The world in 3991AD ... a “hellish nightmare of suffering and devastation". This post was originally published on Mashable. Can the fate of humanity be predicted by a video game? On Tuesday morning, Reddit user Lycerius wrote a post in r/gaming asking for help with his 10-year-long Civilization II game. Lycerius said the ice caps had melted 20 times because of nuclear fallout. Advertisement Lycerius said he tried destroying or allying with the two remaining countries, but it had not helped. Apparently, most of the world's population has died due to lack of usable land, and the engineers and military forces cannot make any improvements because they are working on supporting the war efforts. Civilization II was released in 1996 by MicroProse. Players have to fight wars, develop technology and forge peace treaties with other nations. Lycerius said he has been transferring his save file from computer to computer and continuing the old game off and on for 10 years.
