I was born in Vittorio Veneto (Italy), where I learnt the first rudiments of the guitar with my Dad Luigi, an amateur guitarist. Then I started my studies with Mauro Da Ros at the age of 9.
After the guitar diploma, got at the Venice Conservatory in 2012 with Florindo Baldissera, I improved my skills at the guitar Academy "G. Regondi" in Milan with Andrea Dieci and Bruno Giuffredi.
After the Pedagogic degree at the Venice Conservatory in 2014 and the obtaining of the Master of Arts in Music Performance at the HKB Bern in 2016 with Elena Casoli, I started attending the Hochschule für Musik in Basel (Master of Arts Specialized Improvisation, under the guidance of Fred Frith and Alfred Zimmerlin).
I got many prices at national and international musical competitions and attended masterclasses with important guitarists, such as A. Desiderio, A. Dieci, F. Bungarten, F. Baldissera, E. Casoli, M. Lonardi.
I started early my teaching activity in many schools in Vittorio Veneto and surrounding areas, keeping it very constant as I consider it as important as concerts.
At the moment I am guitar teacher at the "R. Franceschi" middle-school in Milan.
Simultaneously, I have deepened the acoustic guitar pratice, the finger picking technique, the improvisational languages and the jazz harmony, attending masterclasses with Simone Massaron, Christian Wolfarth, Wolfgang Muthspiel and Massimo Zemolin.
Furthermore, in 2011 I got the BA degree in Architecture in Venice and I am very passionate for visual arts, photography and design.
In 2016 I was kindly supported by the "Irène Dénéréaz" Foundation of Lausanne (CH) and in the same year I became ambassador for Schertler Group (CH).

There are some updates which have been added at the bottom…..
Xiaomi has a lot of devices inside their portfolio. If we just restrict ourselves with the phones and tablets they are making, still it's a huge number. Considering the vastness, the company maintains a pretty good record of updating them and bringing new features to its own skin, MIUI.
MIUI itself started its journey as a skin intended for aftermarket development of phones from other OEMs. Later on, Xiaomi started building phones and associated MIUI as an integral part of it.
MIUI major versions don't exactly follow Android's major version formula. Though flagship devices usually get latest Android versions first, the MIUI version of it may cover another device's lower numbered Android version.
As for example, Xiaomi's current design oriented flagship is Mi MIX 3 which runs MIUI 10 based on Android 9 Pie. The old-n-popular Redmi Note 4 is running MIUI 10 as well, but it's based on Android 7 Nougat.
We have briefly discussed about Xiaomi's stance about update policy earlier, but their own forum is never known for good UI/UX. New firmware announcement threads are buried under other posts, sticky threads are not properly updated and as a final take, the download portal isn't updated regularly after the massive redesign.
XDA Recognized Developer yshalsager and his contributions towards Xiaomi Firmware Updater project to fix these cumbersome affairs are already praised by us and others. To take it further, a completely revamped website (xiaomifirmwareupdater.github.io or xiaomifirmwareupdater.com) has been launched by him and XDA Recognized Developer berkantkz AKA Berkant Korkmaz.
The site will serve as an central index of device specific individual pages that are internally used previously by the tracker scripts. The devs moved to Jekyll as static site generator which will greatly optimise the content rendering.
Hammering GitHub APIs is deprecated too, and a new periodic update polling mechanism is added instead.
For the end users, there is a page for every stock ROM for devices supported by Xiaomi. Be it from Global release or Chinese, on stable channel or public beta – users can navigate, choose according to their requirements and flash via updater or recovery.
For flashaholics, version specific firmware updates are quite important to maintain compatibility. The site indexes every firmware zip for Qualcomm based Xiaomi devices that are automatically extracted from the main update package and packed by an CI task.
And yes, you don't need to worry about Xiaomi's anti-rollback (ARB) mechanism.
Users are advised to check out the FAQ to clear out doubts. The devs are open to suggestion and kindly asking for contributions and bug reports via Telegram or GitHub or XDA. They are still adding features on the site and doing fixes here and there.
How often are you manually looking for firmwares for your phone? Comment below and let us know.
If you are into custom Android kernels, we have big news for you. Popular custom Android kernel developer Fracisco Franco (@franciscof_1990) has revealed his new download portal for the supported custom kernels. Do take a look at our story here if you want to improve your device's battery life.

Q: check if user email exists, and if not, stop the submit of the ninja form I've one form built with ninja forms, and I use ajax to send it.
I need to check if the email introduced already exists in database (user_email), and if it exists properly, I send the form properly, but if it doesn't exist, the form isn't submitted, and I need to give the user the message like "email does not exist".
The form is a survey to be completed by a registered user, who gives us a feedback about our services, but the survey is located in a page where the user can send its opinion without needed to be logged.
I'm investigating, and at the moment I have:
function example_disable_saving_subs( $save, $form_id ) {

    global $ninja_forms_processing;
    $form_id = $ninja_forms_processing->get_form_ID();
    $email = ninja_forms_get_field_by_id( 18 );

    //cuestionario feedback profesor sobre creación de un curso
    if($form_id == 3){
        if( !email_exists( $email )) {
            $save = false;
            $ninja_forms_processing->add_error('email_no_existe', 'El email no existe');
        }
    }
    return $save;
}
add_filter( 'ninja_forms_save_submission', 'example_disable_saving_subs', 2, 10 );

But I pick up the field $email without value introduced...In addition, I don't know the way to give the user the message "email does not exists".
As you see, I chose the filter ninja_forms_save_submission. Maybe this is not the correct filter.
I hope your valious help.
Thanks in advance, Daniel

A: thanks for your help @Renato , I give you +1 :)
It's true that I can do it through the way you tell me, but I don't want to break the api of WordPress, that is, the way this cms uses javascript, php, etc etc...So, I wanted to do this through the API of ninja forms, which is the plugin I use for build this survey.
Finally, I solved it...it was my mistake, because I didn't use the correct filter...Investigating few more, there's another filter much more appropiate: ninja_forms_pre_process
Here is the code:
function add_change_ninja_forms_landing_page(){
    add_action( 'ninja_forms_pre_process', 'handle_custom_ninja_forms' );
}
add_action( 'init', 'add_change_ninja_forms_landing_page' );

function handle_custom_ninja_forms(){

    global $ninja_forms_processing;

    $form_id = $ninja_forms_processing->get_form_ID();

    //if it's my form of survey
    if( $form_id == 3 ){

        $email = $ninja_forms_processing->get_field_value( 18 ); //pick up the value of the email field
       //use the native function of wordpress to check if there's a user with this email
       //is anyone has this email, it does not exist
       if( !email_exists( $email )) {
                $ninja_forms_processing->add_error('email_no_existe', 'El email indicado no está registrado en nuestra base de datos'); //add_error stop the form and gives the error message
        }
    }
}

With the code above everything works fine! :)
Thanks!

A: Daniel,
I am not familiar with ninja_forms, but thinking of javascript, you can encapsulate your code to verify if users exists into an url and then, when making the ajax call, use it to verify...
If you can't change the ajax request, you can validate the field on it's blur event and disable the submit button untill it's marked as "successfull"
For you to create PHP files, and yet, use all Wordpress power and functionalities, you can simply include this file on the beggining of the file that will be called
require(wp-blog-header.php)

Mama finally watched Pet Fooled, a documentary on the unregulated pet industry and the confusing discussion around the pet diet.
It follows Dr. Karen Becker and Dr. Barbara Royal, two prominent integrative wellness vets, who along with other individuals, provided important insights into the dark side of the pet food industry and more crucially, what kind of diet is actually good for our pet.
No matter which camp you are on in the pet food discussion (raw, dry, wet, homecooked, etc.), this documentary is a must-watch. That's because it sheds light on pet food problems that the average pet owner may not be aware of.
It also lays down arguments that would hopefully help you decide with more confidence what food is the best for your pet.
That's the underlying message throughout the documentary. Unlike snakes, dogs and cats would eat food that's biologically inappropriate to survive. But that can be detrimental to their health over time.
So what food is biologically appropriate for dogs?
According to Dr. Becker, the differing 0.1-0.2% of the DNA between dogs and gray wolves is caused by selective, controlled breeding. And that led to dog breeds having their specific phenotypic traits (the outer appearance).
In other words, despite looking different, dogs still have the same nutritional requirements as carnivorous gray wolves – fresh raw meat.
Unfortunately, it's worth noting that not enough research has been done to conclusively determine what food is right for pets. It would cost years and millions of dollars, and both the government and big corporations have no incentive to take it on.
Dr. Royal has witnessed major health problems, such as diabetes, kidney disease, and overweight in her patients and she strongly thinks that those diseases could be linked to a bad diet.
Major pet food companies, such as Mars PetCare and Nestlé Purina PetCare own most of the pet food brands you find in the market, especially those in your local supermarkets.
That gives an illusion of choice. Unfortunately, most of those foods are the same in that they contain ingredients that are unhealthy and low quality. The reason for that boils down to economics. Big players are putting cheap rendered products and fillers into the bags and would tell you anything to make you think otherwise.
The colourful cheery packaging with keywords like "wholesome", "natural", and "packed with flavour" may mislead you into thinking that what you are buying is healthy for your pet. Don't. Read the ingredients on pet food labels.
Some pet food companies may put biologically unnecessary ingredients into the bag because they are cheap. It is your job to at least ensure that the biologically unnecessary ingredients do not outweigh what your dog or cat biologically needs – meat.
Also, words on pet food packaging may not mean what you think. For example, in the US, food with the phrase "with delicious meat" on the bag only has to have 3% meat in it. A bag that says "beef flavour", for example, may contain little to no meat. Yet, manufacturers are allowed to put an image of a succulent piece of steak on the bag.
What's by-product? It's what leftover after an animal is slaughtered and all the edible parts have been removed for human consumption. It's a way to recycle animal carcasses. You should know that pet food companies don't have to disclose the sources of these by-products.
The images of juicy meat pieces on the packaging may, in reality, be what's leftover of animal carcasses instead.
Because they are void of moisture and are processed in possibly very high heat (killing most nutrients and making the food potentially carcinogenic), kibbles are generally not recommended in the film.
With that said, there are higher quality kibbles and lower quality kibbles. If you can only afford to feed your pet kibbles, try to feed higher quality ones and throw in fresh meat once in awhile as a snack.
However, the film tells us that AAFCO is a non-governmental association with no regulatory authority. It is also potentially influenced by major pet food companies. Yes, the same companies selling sub-standard pet foods. Knowing that would potentially change how you judge a packet of pet food that says "AAFCO-approved" or "Complete and balanced".
Towards the end of the film, Dr. Royal aptly said, "It's not about perfect. It's about knowing." The most important point is not about what you choose to feed in the end but that you have made a conscious choice.
You can watch Pet Fooled on Netflix, Vimeo, and iTunes.

I heard that there is now a prescribed form of PQQ - is this right?
Yes, Regulation 107 requires you to have regard to statutory guidance in relation to over-threshold procurements (except for procurements of clinical health services for the purposes of the NHS). This guidance sets out a standard form PQQ and requires the reporting of any deviation from it to the Mystery Shopper service within 30 days of the PQQ being made available.
Do we have to use the Cabinet Office PQQ?
Yes. It is possible to deviate from the core questions included in it, but this will need to be reported to the Mystery Shopper service as a "reportable deviation", in accordance with the guidance.
Separate PQQ stage for under-threshold contract - No more possible?
Yes, Regulation 111 states that, except for procurements of clinical health services for the purposes of the NHS, it is no longer possible to hold a separate selection stage for an under-threshold contract. Note that the threshold here for works and light touch regime contracts, for the purposes of Regulation 111 only, is £111,676 for central government bodies and £172,514 for other contracting authorities.
Can I do financial suitability checks in an under-threshold procurement?
Yes, you can. To quote from the guidance on this, "as part of their ITT contracting authorities may, if they wish: (1) apply the "pass/fail" mandatory and discretionary criteria as set out in Clause 23 of the Public Contracts Regulations 2006, (2) undertake a financial check. This should be conducted in line with the general principles set out in PPN 02/13 supplier financial risk issues, and (3) where the capability of an individual is essential to the delivery of the contract, for example, the provision of consultancy, CVs or references may be requested to assure the credibility of delivery as part of assessing quality at the award/ITT stage.
For consistency, if the authority wishes to assess supplier suitability as part of their advert or ITT the authority should select from the bank of questions contained in the supplier suitability check, but not deviate from the wording in these questions. Any questions selected must be relevant and proportionate. Contracting authorities may continue to use the industry standard PAS91 for works contracts that are above the EU threshold for goods and services."
Is there a requirement to publish our PQQ anywhere?
Yes - the PQQ forms part of the "procurement documents" and as such will need to be available electronically from the date of the OJEU advertisement.
Shall we disclose our PQQ scoring system in the tender documentation?
Case law suggests that this is necessary in order to create transparency, and the Cabinet Office guidance states that "The contracting authority must ensure that full details including scoring for each question, weightings and any 'pass mark' or minimum threshold for selection are made known to the suppliers at the same time that the PQQ/ selection questions are issued. In addition, if certain questions are sufficiently critical that an unsatisfactory answer may lead to exclusion, irrespective of the score on the rest of the PQQ, this should be made clear to suppliers."
What criteria can we use at PQQ stage?
The criteria that can be used are set out in the Cabinet Office PQQ. This consists of various mandatory/discretionary exclusion criteria, followed by criteria around economic and financial standing and technical and professional ability. As part of the latter there is the possibility of including project specific questions aimed at eliciting technical and professional ability, provided that these are relevant and proportionate to the procurement and are framed around the topic areas listed at Regulation 60(9)(b) – (k) and must also meet the "relevant and proportionate" test. Finally, the Cabinet Office PQQ also contains "additional modules" at sections 7(B-E), covering issues such as health and safety and environmental management - note that these must also pass the "relevant and proportionate" test before they can be included.
We ask suppliers for recent accounts but do not read them. Is this okay?
No. Information should only be requested at PQQ stage if it will actually be used as part of the selection process.
Can we reject a bidder that plans to form a consortium or to sub-contract?
No, but the standard PQQ does allow you to ask questions about the proposed consortium/subcontractor and the proposed supply chain.
How much discretion do we have to deselect bidders at PQQ stage?
Contracting authorities should only deselect bidders if they do not comply with the published selection criteria; de-selection must not be arbitrary. Where stated in the OJEU notice, the contracting authority can limit the number of bidders invited to participate in the ITT stage, subject to the minimum number requirements set out at Regulation 65 (see next question for more detail) and to setting out in the procurement documentation the objective and non-discriminatory criteria that will be used to make this limitation in numbers.
How many bidders do we need to send the ITT to?
In the restricted procedure, at least five (assuming five or more suitable suppliers respond). You should ensure that the OJEU notice states any maximum number to which you are proposing to send the ITT, and the objective and non-discriminatory criteria to be used to limit the number selected. In the competitive with negotiation, competitive dialogue and innovation partnership procedures, the invitation to negotiate/participate in dialogue should be sent to at least three bidders.

Geisinger Health Interim President and CEO Jaewon Ryu recently sat down with Harvard Business Review's Gardiner Morse to share what it takes to be a "center of excellence" (COE) and contract with employers throughout the country to provide high-value care for specified conditions.
Survey results: When will consumers travel for surgical care?
Geisinger is a large health system based in Pennsylvania. The system consists of 13 hospital campuses, two research centers, a medical school, and a commercial health plan. According to Harvard Business Review, the system "is famously innovative" and was a "pioneer" in COEs and destination-care programs. Under COE arrangements, large employers, such as Walmart, McKesson, and Lowe's, fly their employees to a COE for complex care. These operations yield, "remarkable results," according to Harvard Business Review.
Here's what Ryu said goes into launching one of these centers and keeping it running.
According to Ryu growth was a key driver in turning Geisinger into a CEO. "Being a destination-care provider for employers like Walmart allows us to reach a patient population that isn't already getting its care within Geisinger and is beyond our backyard," Ryu said.
In addition, Ryu said the COE model "aligns really well with how we deliver care." Ryu explained that Geisinger has worked to develop best practice protocols and design workflows around those protocols for a range of "clinical scenarios," such as cardiac surgery, diabetes management, spine surgery, and more. "It's a chassis," he said. "We have the resources, culture, and processes already in place to develop, say, a joint-replacement bundle with an employer."
Of course, launching—and then running—a program like this is not without its challenges, Ryu acknowledged. "Make no mistake—even if you have the chassis in place there's still a lot of work you need to do on the culture to go live with a program like this," he said. "We were lucky—we had a running start, if you will. But even so, it's not something you turn on overnight."
Ryu explained that keeping a value-based program like Geisinger's up and running "takes constant work and vigilance." For example, he noted that hiring new physicians can present an opportunity for unwanted care variation to slip in. To avoid this, Ryu said, "[Y]ou need to make sure they are brought along into [your] organizational approach" from the start. And the key to that, according to Ryu, is transparency.
"Data is probably more visible here than you'd see at just about any other health system," Ryu said.
For example, Ryu explained that at every Geisinger primary care site, there's a whiteboard where the staff gather each morning. The whiteboard shows each provider's appointment availability and a score for how they're doing when it comes to closing care gaps.
"It's taken some work to get us to this point, and admittedly the transparency can be uncomfortable at first," Ryu said. "But it helps us reinforce and support each other in driving for the best outcomes."
When asked how Geisinger handles the discomfort the setup might cause, Ryu explained that "partly there's a socialization that makes it acceptable." He added, "We really try not to do this in an embarrassing or 'gotcha' kind of way." Rather, the goal is, Ryu said, to identify how staff can "learn from each other and improve the overall game."
Ryu said he expects COE programs like Geisinger's to grow in the future because "they address the cost and quality problems employers are struggling with."
With that in mind, Ryu said other health systems that are considering their own COE program should first ask, "Do you have the culture and operational programs and processes in place to succeed with this kind of model?"
Given the overall shift toward value-based care delivery, Ryu said, "There's a huge opportunity for a provider that doesn't yet have these capabilities fully in place to pursue direct arrangements with employers as a way to jump-start the shift."
But Ryu said he expects that destination care for defined episodes is just the beginning. "The broader approach that I expect we'll see a lot more of is … an employer contracting directly with a provider in a prepaid model to take care of a population," he said (Morse, Harvard Business Review, 3/19).

Research highlights the benefits native plants provide birds
Jill Odom

In recent years, the push to plant natives has been all the rage, and if your client is a bird-lover, there is new research providing even more support for native plants.
One of the commonly cited reasons for homeowners to install native plants is because it helps the local wildlife, including pollinators and birds, as they have evolved and adapted to the same region together. Often natives have more insects or yield more fruit than non-native plants.
Doug Tallamy published his work showing how native plants tended to host far more caterpillars and yards with more native plants saw more native-bird species, but until now there hadn't been any studies to see how this research linked with a specific diet of a bird.
Research published in Biological Conservation found that native vegetation does in fact provide more food for nesting birds than introduced plant species. In a two-year study of Carolina Chickadees around Washington, D.C., scientists were able to connect what plants the songbirds were using for their food source.
"Quantifying insects as bird food is difficult," Desiree Narango, the University of Delaware student who led the research, told the National Audubon Society.
The team started by determining the origin of each tree and shrub species at the 97 suburban homes they selected. Then they checked the leaves of 16 plants at each site, counting the caterpillars. They then tracked which vegetation had the most visits from chickadees.
Narango found from the data that the chickadees nested more often in yards with native trees. Oaks, cherries, elms and maples were some of the most popular as they attracted the most moth and sawfly larvae, which birds depend on for feeding their chicks.
Previous studies have found that chickadees need around 6,000 to 9,000 caterpillars a season to feed a brood of five babies.
"Carolina Chickadees are a model species because they're generalist foragers," Narango told Audubon.
Because chickadees look almost anywhere for food, they tend to serve as a good rule of thumb as to where other songbirds might gravitate towards. Non-native flora was found to have one caterpillar or fewer on them while natives like oaks harbored 20 or more.
In Tallamy's research, he found that natives can support multiple species with some oaks maintaining 557 species of moths and butterflies, while others like wild cherry and plum trees can support up to 456 species. While non-native relatives to these plants support wildlife food sources, there aren't nearly as many and introduced species are even less productive.
"Eight-six percent of the country is privately owned, so when you create landscapes out of [introduced] Bradford pear and crape myrtle, there are almost no caterpillars," Tallamy said. "That's not just the end of reproduction for chickadees, but of all the birds out there that need those insects."
While the study is designed to help educate people about the need to make more informed planting choices, one of the biggest struggles is finding natives to buy.
"When I go looking for plants I know birds use, I can't find them either as seed or seedling," said Roarke Donnelly, director of the environmental studies program at Oglethorpe University. "I don't think growers know there's a burgeoning demand for this. We have to hook them up with residents – there's huge potential."
