A symbol is a person or a concept that represents, stands for or suggests another idea, visual image, belief, action or material entity. Symbols take the form of words, sounds, gestures, ideas or visual images and are used to convey other ideas and beliefs. For example, a red octagon may be a symbol for "STOP". On a map, a blue line might represent a river. Numerals are symbols for numbers. Alphabetic letters may be symbols for sounds. Personal names are symbols representing individuals. A red rose may symbolize love and compassion. The variable x in a mathematical equation may symbolize the position of a particle in space.
In cartography, an organized collection of symbols forms a legend for a map.
The word derives from the Greek symbolon (σύμβολον) meaning token or watchword. It is an amalgam of syn- "together" + bole "a throwing, a casting, the stroke of a missile, bolt, beam." The sense evolution in Greek is from "throwing things together" to "contrasting" to "comparing" to "token used in comparisons to determine if something is genuine." Hence, "outward sign" of something. The meaning "something which stands for something else" was first recorded in 1590, in Edmund Spenser's Faerie Queene.
In computing, a directory is a file system cataloging structure which contains references to other computer files, and possibly other directories. On many computers, directories are known as folders, catalogs (catalog
was used on the Apple II, the Commodore 128 and some other early home computers as a command for displaying disk contents; the filesystems used by these did not support hierarchal directories), or drawers to provide some relevancy to a workbench or the traditional office file cabinet.
Files are organized by storing related files in the same directory. In a hierarchical filesystem (that is, one in which files and directories are organized in a manner that resembles a tree), a directory contained inside another directory is called a subdirectory. The terms parent and child are often used to describe the relationship between a subdirectory and the directory in which it is cataloged, the latter being the parent. The top-most directory in such a filesystem, which does not have a parent of its own, is called the root directory.
Ama or AMA may refer to:
AMA, a three-letter initialism, may refer to:
Siento que el amor llegó a mi puerta
Entró de improviso y sin tocar
Me invitó a pasar por los mil laberintos
Que él siempre suele usar
Sin pensarlo me metí en el juego
Ya que con lo bueno hay que arriesgar
Porque el amor tiene muchos efectos
Es bello, es intenso o fugaz, o fugaz. (o se va)
Entró por mi piel con muchos besos
Hasta llegar a mi corazón
Este sentimiento no puedo explicar
Me hace esclava, me hace amar
Hasta cuándo durará lo bueno
Y lo otro cuándo irá a empezar
La felicidad llega sólo en momentos
Te encuentra, te hace suya y se va, y se va.
Coro
Con el tiempo todo se va
El amor que llega se va
La felicidad llegará
Pero pronto se irá
La vida que llega se va
Los momentos solos se irán
