Qué es DIMAD - Información General | dimad.org El diseño se está convirtiendo en un vector clave para el desarrollo de la cultura y la economía española. Su empuje se ve reflejado en el crecimiento exponencial del número de profesionales, en la proliferación de centros de enseñanza, en el espectacular aumento de estudiantes, en la rápida implantación social del diseño como nueva profesión y en la contrastada calidad del trabajo de nuestros diseñadores. El diseño juega hoy un papel de motor creativo ligado a la industria y los servicios. Una dinamización que sólo puede producirse, de forma estable, con la interacción organizada de los cuatro agentes sociales implicados: empresas, centros de enseñanza, administraciones públicas y diseñadores.

The tones were mathematically selected from the range of twenty to twenty thousand hertz: the two extremes audible to the human ear. The tones were logarithmically divided between the ten digits, providing tonal increments that produced a musical scale. Numerical Sound Story Timothy Evans Dan came to me with a basic thought about an audio piece. Dan’s eyes became focussed on the only movement in the room; the CD player’s digital time counter. Dan’s question was; why not write a musical score driven by and perfectly in time with the CD time counter? A period of one hour would fit onto a standard audio CD and use the full range of the time counter.

Twitter's mobile now let you embed tweets inside tweets In what looks like an effort to clean up how tweets appear in your timeline, Twitter for iOS and Android both actually embed tweets that have been linked in a tweet. To embed a tweet in a tweet, just drop the link of the update’s URL in the tweet you’re composing. When the tweet goes live, instead of an ugly URL link, the linked tweet is displayed in its entirety. Before we unleash a bevy of Inception-related jokes, we’re reached out to Twitter to see if this is a new feature or something they are testing.

We have been unable to recreate this behavior via the web interface. la casita de wendy Dental Assistant - Career Training
