Larry Page: Where's Google going next?

Soy Lo Que Soy

Soy Lo Que Soy
Por Alberto Jiménez

Soy el vibrante palpitar golpeado tu corazón
con la emoción rompe razón.
Los sabios me llaman amor,
dado entre desbalance físico por químicos del interior.
Los santos me alaban en devoción mientras
Los impíos reniegan el existir de mi clamor,
creen que solo soy una ilusión a la imaginación.
En realidad, nadie puede descifrar la magnitud de mi ser.
Soy la misma vida, deslumbrante y surtir,
sin ninguna mancha en el porvenir.
Soy el pan de vida, que cuando me reciben,
reciben saciarse con mi unción,
volviéndonos uno en sí mismo,
renaciendo en el seno Paterno del Creador.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

1. Step 1

   Identify the topic. All writing has a topic, and the topic is the most general idea in a piece of writing. The topic can usually be condensed into one word. Some examples include "children," "music" or "food."

2. Step 2

   Pick a direction. The direction is how you want to talk about a topic or what you want to say about it. If you were writing about children, you might decide to write specifically about the stresses involved in parenting or the money requirements inherent in raising a child. Both would be suitable directions.

3. Step 3

   String the two together. When you join a topic and direction, you have a topic sentence. An example might be, "Raising children requires financial stability to avoid undue stress on parents." In this case, "raising children" is the topic while "requires financial stability to avoid undue stress on parents" represents the direction.

4. Step 4

   Think of an umbrella. A main idea sentence is sort of like an umbrella in that it covers all of the possible examples you might use in your writing. Once you write a topic sentence, decide whether you can expand it into a paragraph or essay without repeating yourself or including extraneous details to fill space.

5. Step 5

   Put your main idea sentence to use. As you write your paragraph or essay, let your main idea keep you on track. Do not write anything that does not fall under the umbrella of your main idea sentence. Repeat your main idea at the end of your writing to bring a piece full-circle.

What is Web Design?

Web design is the skill of designing presentations of content (usually hypertext or hypermedia) that is delivered to an end-user through the World Wide Web, by way of a Web browser or other Web-enabled software like Internet television clients, microblogging clients and RSS readers.

The process of designing Web pages, Web sites, Web applications or multimedia for the Web may utilize multiple disciplines, such as animation, authoring, communication design, corporate identity, graphic design, human-computer interaction, information architecture, interaction design, marketing, photography, search engine optimization and typography.

Involved technologies may include (see Web development):

• Markup languages (such as XHTML and XML)
• Style sheet languages (such as CSS and XSL)
• Client-side scripting (such as JavaScript and VBScript)
• Server-side scripting (such as PHP and ASP)
• Database technologies (such as MySQL)
• Multimedia technologies (such as Flash and Silverlight)

Web pages and Web sites can be static pages, or can be programmed to be dynamic pages that automatically adapt content or visual appearance depending on a variety of factors, such as input from the end-user, input from the Webmaster or changes in the computing environment (such as the site's associated database having been modified).

With growing specialization within communication design and information technology fields, there is a strong tendency to draw a clear line between web design specifically for web pages and web development for the overall logistics of all web-based services.
