My Car Does Not Work When Carrying Vanilla Ice Cream

This story begins when a division of the United States GM Pontiac cars received a curious customer complaint, a complaint by a customer dissatisfied with his car, which ensured that it was not working when carrying one or several ice cream of vanilla, instead, with other flavors, the car functioned without any problems. This is the claim expressed by the client: this is the second time that I send them a letter, and do not blame them for not answering. I can seem crazy, but the truth is that we have a tradition in our family that is taking ice cream after dinner. We repeat this habit every night, just by varying the flavor of ice cream; and I am commissioned to go buy them. Recently I bought a new Pontiac and, since then, the trips to the ice cream shop has become a problem. Whenever I buy vanilla ice cream, when I prepare to return home, the car doesn’t work. If I buy any other flavor, the car runs normally. They will think that I am really crazy and no matter how silly that you can seem my claim, but the fact is that I’m upset with my model 99 Pontiac.

This so curious claim made is awakened doubt in the company, and the director ordered a technician to check if this was true. Both client and technician went to an ice cream shop and as always, stopped working mysteriously found the vanilla ice cream, car. The problem ended up becoming an obsession for the engineer, who ended up doing daily experiments, scoring all the details possible. After two weeks arrived in the first great discovery: when it chose vanilla, the buyer was you served ice cream in less time because that flavor of ice cream was in front of the counter. To examine the vehicle, the engineer made a new discovery: as the time of purchase was small if you choose the flavor of vanilla, as compared to the time of purchase of other flavors, motor did not cool down. Thus, the fuel vapors is not disipaban, which prevented the engine to start instantly. Starting at that episode, the Pontiac changed the fuel supply system and introduced a modification on all their models from the 1999 line. The complainant obtained a new car, as well as arrangement of which did not work with vanilla ice cream. GM distributed an internal statement, demanding that employees take is seriously until the claims more strange, because it can be a great innovation resides behind a vanilla ice cream. He said the release of GM.

Document Management

The documents contain information, information. The documents are a source of knowledge. The production of goods and services depends on the knowledge and how it is managed. The information is the means and the enabling environment knowledge. The importance that represents the new paradigm of information management is given because the organizations will be able to survive to the extent they are able to become aware of what they do not know and how to access and grasp the knowledge necessary to remain productive, dynamic, competitive and innovative. Often it is necessary first to carry out an audit of information and knowledge in the organization. Besides reflecting the information flows associated with life processes, can reveal such things as whether the necessary involvement of management, if there is a favorable corporate culture or identify training needs and motivation. No target is attainable if we do not develop and put systems in place capable of achieve and aim to: – The permanent accessibility of information – the availability and updating of information – The automation of workflows with the documentation – the circulation, distribution and decrease storage of documents – Ease information retrieval.

We reiterate that: the documents contain data, information. The documents are a source of knowledge. The production of goods and services depends on the knowledge and how it is managed. The information is the means and the enabling environment knowledge.

Jigsaw

Jigsaw – one of the most popular tools, which is appreciated by professionals and DIY for his versatile.

Classification Of Welds

Butt joint is a weld of two elements located in the same plane and adjacent to one another end surface. It is most common in welded structures, because has several advantages over other types of connections. Symbols of butt joints: ci – C48. Lap-joint is a weld, which combines elements are arranged in parallel and overlap. Symbols: HI-H9. Mechanical connection – a compound in which the side surfaces of the elements adjacent to each other. Symbols in the standard yet.

Gusset lateral surface of one element is adjacent a corner scrap and welded onto the end face of another element. Typically, the angle between the elements of the line. Symbols T-joints: T1-T8. Depending on the types of welded joints distinguish butt and fillet welds. Seams of the first type operates in welding butt joints, the joints of the second kind – when welding angle, tee and nahlestoch-like compounds. The shape of the cross-section welds subdivided into standard, convex and concave.

On the number of layers of welded joints can be single-layered and layered. Layer – is part of the weld metal, which consists of one or more rollers located on the one level, the cross-sectional weld. Roller – a metal joint, weld, or remelted in a single pass. In accordance with gost 2601 – 84 basic parameters form a butt joint: e – width of joint, q – the convexity of the seam, m – weld concavity, h – depth of penetration (penetration), for fillet welds – the value of leg A '(Figure 1.11). Part of the weld, the most distant from his face, called the root of the weld.

Western Psychology

Stanislav Grof noted with much interest the recurring experiences of his patients, as the memory of past lives, feelings of union with the cosmos, the memories of reincarnation as animals and detailed knowledge of places had never been before. The man, since remote times has experienced the expansion of consciousness beyond the personal, experiencing a connection with another full and invisible, reality which has enabled it to Intuit the meaning of his existence. These intuitions correspond to the mystical revelations experienced by the ancient prophets, interpreted as voices or interior guides which subsequently were the source of the religions transpersonal psychology considers topics as: experiences summits (which according to the American psychologist Abraham Maslow (1908-1970) are States of interconnection and spiritual unification); Mystic experiences; systemic trances and metaphysical experiences of life. While several (depending on the psychological and spiritual concepts that integrate) are the paths that can be taken from this synthesis, the main objective of the transpersonal psychology would be that human beings transcend the sense of themselves, to achieve identified with a greater awareness. Transpersonal Psychology considers the psyche multidimencional. There are different levels of consciousness and each has different characteristics and is governed by different laws. Such as holding Stanislav Grof, the biggest problem of Western psychotherapy seems to be the fact of that, for various reasons, each researcher has primarily fixed his attention on a certain level of awareness and widespread his discoveries to the totality of the human psyche.

The origins of this current take shape at the end of the 1960s and that, despite having brilliant exponents such as Abraham Maslow, Stanislav Grof, Ken Wilber, and has been systematically ignored in the academic field of psychology. Not taught practically in any University despite being, probably, the most comprehensive psychological power of all. Of course that this is a debatable point and I propose this written as a contribution to the debate.
