¿Te Sumas?
Nos ha gustado mucho la iniciativa, y la idea, la encontramos bastante atractiva, competitiva, solidaria, constructiva, y social
El nombre es bastante intuitivo, pero consiste en pagar o dejar pagado un cafe, para alguien que no tiene recursos para tomarse un café, …
Escuchando la radio una de estas mañanas nos llamó la atención una entrevista a una persona encargada del Café Comercial, de la Glorieta de Bilbao, en Madrid, la cual resumía esta iniciativa, este gesto tan humano del café pendiente, lo cual nos condujo a informarnos más en su web, cafespendientes.es
Si entráis, podéis ver que algunos establecimientos no sólo, dejan la idea en un café, también se puede ayudar con alguna sopa, que con estas temperaturas, entran muy bien, o un bocadillo, e incluso en algunos puedes elegir entre un café, o una peli, como el Café Kino, en donde puedes invitar a un café o a una entrada de cine.
Un diez a la persona que ha materializado esta idea en España, que se ha currado la web, y la gestión, y mucha suerte
BEAUTY
Nos ha encantado, es un video de arte, realizado por un artista, Rino Stefano Tagliafierro,y que lo ha convertido en una pequeña obra de arte, …. Impregnarlos de vida, de ilusión, … de un algo más
Espero que lo disfrutéis y no perdáis detalle al sonido, diseñado por Enrico Ascoli

What design job titles really mean | Career | Creative Bloq
From junior designer to creative director to CSS Ninja, we demystify the most common titles in the world of design.
Job titles can be a confusing way to navigate the employment market. For example, what some employers might refer to as a front-end developer, another will call a web designer.
But while there are no hard-and-fast rules about what you have to call a particular role when advertising, there are a certain set of accepted role names that broadly share similar responsibilities. With this in mind, and in the interests of helping demystify who does what, check out some of the most common job titles below, and what they really mean.
Keep in mind that it’s all open to interpretation though, so if you’re looking for a job be sure to carefully read the job specification before applying!
- Read all our career-related posts here
01. Designer/graphic designer/web designer
We’ll start with the easy ones. As a general rule, if a job title features the word ‘designer’ within it, you can expect the role to include a degree of actual designing.
A designer will typically be using software such as Photoshopand/or Illustrator on a daily basis, alongside any additional software related to the specialism (such as a print designer usingInDesign, a cloth designer using ScotWeave and so on).
A web designer will likely be using skills in HTML and CSS, and most probably also in JavaScript on a daily basis. Some employers will also expect you to be conversant with Photoshop – taking a practical approach to creating mockups and flats – while others view the term ‘web designer’ as being almost synonymous with ‘front-end developer’ (see 05), so it’s always important to read the job description and person specification carefully.

02. Art director/creative director
An art director sets the overall tone and timbre for a piece of work. This can be the way that a stage is dressed and lit for a theatre production, the choice of colour palette for a movie, the acquisition and theme of a photo shoot or defining the values and graphic approach to a website.
An art director is typically a fairly senior position, although at smaller firms you may find that there are elements of this included within the broader term ‘graphic designer’ when dealing with print or web. For the career-minded, art director can be a stepping stone to creative director – the top of the design tree.
As Gary Holt of branding agency SomeOne explains: “A great creative director is someone who’s able to build an environment and ethos where the very best ideas can be born and thrive. Then fills that environment with the brightest talent. If they can find and retain the brightest, then the agency shines. Harbor the dullest and the agency flame soon goes out.”

03. Motion designer
You’ll normally find a motion designer in the broadcast or movie industries, working specifically on creating animated graphics and titles. They’ll typically use the likes of Apple Motion, After Effects, Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, Avid and possibly Maya,3D Studio Max and other modelling software.
As with all the job titles we’ve listed here, it’s really important to check the job specification because sometimes this role will require a lot of experience in 3D, while other jobs with the same title require none.

04. Web developer
Unlike a designer, a web developer role usually doesn’t involve any visual designing at all. You’ll be focused on the back end of a website, coding in languages such as PHP, Ruby, C# and VB.NET. This role is unlikely to have any direct access to or influence over the design or presentation of a website. Not to be confused with…

05. Front-end developer
Unlike the web developer (see 04), a front-end developer does get involved in creating the visual presentation of a website. They will typically translate a mockup into a fully functioning website.
The skills used for this role include HTML, CSS and JavaScript, although sometimes there may be some low-level backend work thrown in too. Traditionally a front-end developer would get more involved in the implementation, and less in the design of the website itself. However, there is increasing cross-over between the front-end developer and web designer roles, to the extent that some use the terms interchangeably.
06. UI designer
A user interface (UI) designer gets involved in defining the way different elements of a user interface behave, provide feedback to the user and help convey meaning. This is very definitely more about designing, and less about implementing.

07. Interaction designer
This is often another way of saying UI designer (see 06). If we had to define the difference between a UI designer and an interaction designer, we’d say it’s down to the areas of a website that encourage direct interaction with a user – such as forms, menus, special effects, media playback and so on.

08. UX designer
A user experience (UX) designer focuses on understanding how a website is used, helping to define areas for improvement and conducting user testing to establish the success of any changes implemented. Sometimes this is a hands-on role that incorporates elements of the front-end developer role (see 05), but other times it’s all about analysis and less about the actual doing.

09. Full-stack developer
This is a term more often used in the US than in the UK. A full-stack developer typically means someone who is expected to be able to perform the roles of web designer, web developer and elements of UI and UX design too. Often this role might act as the interface between the design and development areas of a business, and as a result this might be a senior position depending upon the company.
10. IT Technician
This role is very simply network and hardware-related. If you’re expecting anything design or development related, you’ll be very disappointed. Expect to be resetting user passwords and helping to administer Exchange server instead.
11. SEO specialist
An SEO (search engine optimisation) specialist is concerned primarily with ensuring that the content of a website is optimised to achieve the best possible search engine positioning. They may also get involved in helping to run and manage pay-per-click (PPC) campaigns, but their primary function is the analysis of a website’s search engine performance, and making changes to improve that performance.
Prefixes and suffixes
As well as all the titles we’ve already looked at, you’ll also come across a series of prefixes and suffixes that help to describe the responsibilities and remuneration for a particular role. Typical examples include junior, senior, manager, lead and consultant.

Wacky titles
There are a few additional titles that can often be found before or after any of the above titles, but that are essentially meaningless, such as:
- Ninja
- Rockstar
- Hacker
Really, the employer is trying to say that they want someone really capable for the job, but then which business wouldn’t?

Przełęcz Somosierra
“On potem w Hiszpaniji, gdzie nasze ułany
Zdobyły Samosiery grzbiet oszańcowany,
Obok Kozietulskiego był ranny dwa razy!”
A.Mickiewicz
Bitwa pod Somosierrą miała miejsce 30 listopada 1808 roku na przełęczy Somosierra (Hiszpania) na wysokości 1444 metrów n.p.m. Zakończyła się zdobyciem wąwozu przez polski odział i sukcesem armii napoleońskiej. Bitwa ta otworzyła Napoleonowi drogę na Madryt i pozwoliła kontynuować kampanię hiszpańską. (źródło historyczne)
W miejscu gdzie odbyła się bitwa stoi mała kaplica, w której znajdują się pamiątkowy witraż i tablica.
Sepúlveda
Miasteczko Sepúlveda znajduje się tuż obok Parku Naturalnego Rzeki Duratón, stąd też ze specjalnie przygotowanych tarasów widokowych, możemy podziwiać przepiękny kanion i zamieszkujące w nim sępy “leonado”.
Sama miejscowość to prawdziwa skarbnica zabytków architektury romańskiej, np. zbudowane w XII wieku sanktuarium (Santuario de la Virgen de la Peña), wiele kościołów, z których najstarszy w prowincji Segowia- Iglesia de El Salvador, pochodzi z XI wieku (rozpoczęcie budowy rok 1093).
Na ulicy Barbakan (la Calle Barbacana)na murze zbudowanym przez Arabów, prawdopodobnie w X wieku, znajduje się jedno z najlepiej zachowanych malowideł ściennych.
