Written by admin on June 15, 2016 . Posted in Articles, Artworking and Typesetting, Blog, Digital, Ebook and digital production, Interviews, Production, Products, Tech.
Having spent the past decade turning complex consumer magazines into their precise digital doppelgangers, Exact Editions launched their new digital books service in May. Here we interviewed Adam Hodgkin, Chairman and Co-Founder of Exact Editions.
1) What exactly is Exact Editions?
Exact Editions is a platform for publishing and licensing content on the web and through apps to individuals and institutions. Exact Editions helps publishers by delivering services which generate subscriptions.
The Exact Editions platform ensures that digital publications look exactly the same as their print sisters; and it does this in a way which is efficient for searching and sharing. Exact Editions uses PDF files to build a database for each publication on the platform. The service delivers a solution that looks exactly like the book or magazine in print, but it is an access solution not a file delivery protocol. So the access management side of the business is at least as important as the content management side. We also provide customer support and statistics to our users since cross-platform solutions for users that range in size from the largest universities to the private individual will, from time to time, present new questions.
Exact Editions launched by focusing on the consumer magazine space and selling subscriptions direct to consumers and through app stores. We were among the first magazine solutions to deliver apps for the iPhone and then for the iPad. Never neglecting our roots in the web. In the last 5 years a growing sector for us is the university, college and library market. Also selling site licenses for corporates. Exact Editions is unusual among digital magazine solutions in providing access to complete archives (we work with magazines that have archives that stretch back to the 19th century). A concern with archives leads us to support the librarians' requirement for perpetual access.
Once Exact Editions was selling some magazines for perpetual access, it was clear that there is demand for a similar service for books. The Exact Editions platform works well for book publishers that have complex and rich page designs that are poorly served by the most commonly used ebook file formats. But equally important the Exact Editions service offers publishers the opportunity to sell books with a perpetual access to institutions that need to have a multi-user, site license for the campus or organisation. We launched our book service three weeks ago and it seems that the multi-user, site license access management that we provide for book publishers is an important offering. Book publishers also get to set the price level for their individual titles on the Exact Editions platform, and they have ownership of their subscriber lists.
5) What will be next for Exact Editions?
Exact Editions is a platform, not a publisher, so we are keen to work with as many publishers as can use our services. We are primarily aimed at the library and institutional market, at this point mainly universities and colleges, but we can already see that there is a good market among schools and corporates for many of the books and magazines which are using our platform. Opening up these broader markets is on our wish list. We also have some very successful French magazines and we would like to add books and magazines from all the major European languages.

El Lenguaje P, fue desarrollado por Microsoft, orientado para la programación de eventos asíncronos y el loT; es un lenguaje específico de dominio que interpela con C y es dirigido para sistemas embebidos, controladores de dispositivos y servicios distribuidos; el Lenguaje P, tiene como objetivo capturar y precisar ciertos tipos de protocolos que son inherentes a la comunicación entre varios componentes. Con P, los modelos y la programación se funden en una sola actividad debido a que no solo puede compilarse en código ejecutable, sino que también se puede validar mediante pruebas sistemáticas. P ha sido utilizado para implementar y validar la pila del controlador de dispositivo USB que se incluye con Microsoft Windows 8 y Windows Phone.

Características
 Ofrece programación segura.

 En P, una operación de envío no bloquea, sino que el mensaje simplemente se ejecuta en la espera de entrada de la máquina de destino.

 Programas de P tienen un modelo computacional que cuenta con máquinas que se comunican a través de mensajes.

 Microsoft también ofrece P#, una extensión de C# que se dirige a la programación asíncrona, como código abierto.

Q: convert error from const string to const uint8_t* I'm try to writing a program to compress a text with lzma. I copied an example from Github and I'm trying to rewrite it bit by bit for my request. But unfortunately it doesn't quite work.  Because with the main function I get the error:
lzma.cpp: In function 'void testIt(const char*, int)':

}

std::string b64decode(const std::string& str64)
{
    return b64decode(str64.c_str(), str64.size());
}

A: What the error is telling us is that b64decode() returns an std::string, but you try to pass that as the 1st argument of lzmaCompress(), which expects a pointer to (an array of) const std::uint8_t. Those are not the same thing. Since this is C++ and we can define implicit conversions in several ways, inexact matches for declared argument types aren't an error, the compiler helpfully tries to convert them for us - but no conversion is declared, so it can't, hence the specific error you get.
You can probably simply store the result of b64decode() in a local std::string and pass its .data() to lzmaCompress(), since .data() can return a const char*, and in practice (if not necessarily in theory) an std::uint8_t is going to be an unsigned char. You will still need to reinterpret_cast to get to the const std::uint8_t*, since .data() returns a [const] char*, i.e. not yet an unsigned character.
Try this, or something very like it (I can't test it):
auto const b64encoded = b64encode(input, size);
auto const b64encoded_data_u8 = reinterpret_cast<const std::uint8_t*>( b64encoded.data() );
auto const compressedBlob = lzmaCompress(b64encoded_data_u8, size, &compressedSize);

Of course, ensure the b64encoded string outlives anyone reading its .data() in-place

A: b64encode returns a std::string, while the first argument of lzmaCompress is expected to be of type uint8_t*. You'll need to convert the string output to uint8_t* before calling the lzmaCompress function.

Kindergarten educator has zest for teaching reading
Derek Craner, as a kindergarten teacher, knows that progress is a process and that trying new things can enrich experiences.
At first, the 2013 Glacier High School graduate thought he would go into nursing when he started college. He had taken many biology lessons and his mother, who was a nurse, praised the profession. However, by his freshman year in college, he decided to switch to teaching after thinking about how much he enjoyed working on the Kalispell Parks and Recreation Youth Summer Camp Program – planning and leading kids in games, activities, and field trips. In 2016, he graduated from Montana State University-Bozeman with a degree in elementary education and a minor in reading for grades K-12.
When asked about his advice for other high school students who aren't sure what to do as a career, he said, "Don't be afraid to try new things."
Trying new things doesn't always come easy and requires practice and perseverance. Reading is one example in which all of the above paid off as he was halfway to completing a master's degree in reading from Montana State University-Billings.
"Reading when I was a kid was really hard. I didn't become a reader until the fourth or fifth grade," said Krainer, referring to the help of school interventions and extra practice at home. "I think this helps me connect with kids who are going through a really tough time. I understand the conflict a little bit."
As an undergraduate student, his college advisors directed him toward focusing on reading. He became more passionate about the subject after taking courses in how to teach reading and writing, where he learned how the brain works in relation to comprehension.
"Reading is a complex thing for education," said Krainer, adding later, "Our brains aren't normally wired for reading. It's designed for spoken language, so reading is a new concept for everyone. For a 5 or 6 year old, that's a lot. It's a miracle what we can do." And what children can do in a short period of time."
Craner emphasized that practicing reading at home on a daily basis goes a long way in helping children make progress.
"I tell parents that a little goes a long way. If you're driving and the kids are in the back seat, ask them to read the stop signs, or at breakfast, read the cereal box," said Krainer.
Then he said, help the kids find what they love to read about.
"Just try everything under the sun," he said.
born and Growing up in Kalispell, Crainer also didn't expect that he'd come home after college.
"It was never in the plans," he said. "You know, you go away to college and you always say, 'I'm going to go out and find new things and new places. "After graduating from college, I got a senior job; it was out of my comfort zone but it gave me a really good perspective."
After teaching second grade in the Superior degree for two years, Craner found himself traveling frequently to Kalispell and Missoula. When he sought a new position, Cayuse Prairie School was among the first to call him for an interview. Taking his own advice on trying new things, he took the position.
"I never saw myself teaching kindergarten. Once I started doing it, I loved it," he said.
Kindergarten educational takes a person who is patient, flexible, highly organized but also creative and strong in communication, among other traits.
"Everything is new in Kindergarten. Kids start at ground level and go up – they wash hands, grab pencils, put things away. Kindergarten means back to basics. When I started teaching, I assumed all kids could do it, but it's a learned behaviour," It is a learning curve for him after his education for the upper grades. "You have to be very direct."
Starting with the basics also means that kids come in different abilities, with a big factor being whether or not they've attended preschool. Nursery is optional in Montana.
"I am a huge supporter of preschool. I can see a huge difference in the kids who can go to preschool and who can't," he said.
"When the Core Core was implemented, a lot of first grade skills moved to Kindergarten, assuming a lot of the kids went to preschool. We had to revamp the way Kindergarten was taught and move it a lot forward."
What makes teaching are the little things that come up during the year he said, "Thank you" from the student or a parent to the highlight at the end of the year for seeing the student's progress.
"Especially in Kindergarten, the highlight is always the end of the year. I keep students' work and their assessments to compare and there are massive drastic changes in what they can do. Seeing the growth in children and seeing how much they have learned over the course of the year – that is the highlight" .

FIREFIGHTER HISTORY 12/8
Karl Thompson December 8, 2019 No Comments
12/8/1912 a Bayonne, NJ firefighter died "while carrying hose at a fire in a Catholic church, he collapsed after suffering an acute heart attack. He was rushed to the hospital, where he died a short time later as a result of its effects."
12/8/1927 a Boston, MA firefighter died "from inhalation of smoke and gases from a fire he was at on December 5 at Box 7433, (East Fifth & 'K' Streets). The fire at 650 East Fourth Street, South Boston, at 1825 hours, was caused by persons looking for movie picture films with a lit match, causing an explosion."
12/8/1929 a Brooklyn, New York (FDNY) firefighter "died as a result of smoke and gas inhalation while operating at a fire."
12/8/1935 a Baltimore, Maryland firefighter died "while pulling hose at a two-alarm fire involving a church under construction at Box 149. He suddenly collapsed. He was rushed to the hospital, where he died of peritonitis hernia."
12/8/1947 a Hawkesbury, Ontario, Canada firefighter "died while operating at Fire Call Box #26, for a fire at Laurin's Store on Main Street."
12/8/1975 a Queens, NY (FDNY) firefighter died after he was injured on November 19th at Box # 22-4773, Jamaica Avenue & Parsons Boulevard. "While overhauling at an arson fire in the basement of a household goods discount store on November 19th, 1975, he was injured, and a second firefighter was killed; several firefighters were injured, when they were caught in the explosion of aerosol insecticide cans. The second firefighter died while in route to the hospital after inhaling a combination of poisonous fumes, natural gas, and carbon monoxide poisoning at the fire. The firefighter ran out of the basement to get help for his downed brothers, re-entered the basement after taking some oxygen and collapsed. He was removed and rushed to the hospital, where he died December 8th as a result of inhaling the same mixture that killed the other firefighter. A total of nine other firefighters were also overcome. None of the men who were injured were wearing breathing apparatus, as the department policy at the time was that it was "optional" as determined by company and/or chief officers depending on the incident. This incident served as a catalyst in having the policy changed making it mandatory to wear SCBA at all structure fires."
12/8/1996 a Somers, Connecticut firefighter was electrocuted when his SCBA tank came into contact with a power line carrying 23,000 volts at a residential structure fire. A snowstorm was responsible for the downed power line.

After the search was completed, the incident commander ordered all firefighters from the building and implemented defensive fire fighting operations. At 0443 hours, a partial collapse of the roof and rear porches occurred. A resident of the building continued to insist that his roommate was still trapped in the building. The fire had been knocked down and it was determined that another search of the structure would be conducted in hopes of locating the missing roommate. Approximately 4 minutes into the search, a structural collapse occurred and trapped two members of Rescue 1." The firefighter was crushed and fatally injured in the collapse. A second firefighter was seriously injured but was rescued from the building.
12/8/2011 a City of Mount, NY firefighter died while he "was on-duty for a 24-hour shift that began at 0800hrs on December 7, 2011. During the first part of the shift, he responded to four emergency incidents. The fifth incident, a structure fire, was dispatched at 0243hrs. The firefighter responded to the scene on Engine 4. When he arrived on the scene, he donned his personal protective clothing and SCBA and prepared to enter the structure when he suddenly collapsed. He was treated on the scene by firefighters and paramedics, and transported to the hospital by ambulance. He was treated in the emergency room but was not revived. He was pronounced dead at 0406hrs due to a heart attack."
12/8/2018 a Coxsackie, NY firefighter "died at a fire on 51 Washington Avenue, in the Washington Arms Apartments, after a fire broke out on the top floor and attic."

12/8/1922 Astoria, Oregon conflagration, the business district of the oldest city in the state was in ruins, hundreds of persons were homeless after a fire started in a restaurant and spread to exposures. "Local firemen who resorted to dynamiting in a vain effort to try to stop the conflagration."
12/8/1919 several buildings in downtown Pasco, WA were destroyed by fire, that started in the Pasco Drug Store and spread to the Bank of Pasco and the U.S. Post Office building; eventually six building were destroyed, and a 16-year-old drug store employee died.

12/8/1864 the Church of La Compana fire killed about 2,000 in Santiago, Chile, a Jesuit church located in downtown, during the celebration of the Feast of the Immaculate Conception. The temple was adorned with "a profusion of gas lights and wall coverings," the altar, had a large statue of the Virgin Mary standing over a half-moon, huge candelabra. The fire started shortly before 7:00 p.m. when a gas lamp at the top of the main altar ignited some of the veils that adorned the walls and spread to the rest of the veils and to the wood roof. Somebody tried to put it out by smothering it with another cloth, but managed to only make the fire grow. The attendees, mostly women, panicked and tried to escape. The side doors (that opened inward) had been closed leaving space to accommodate more people, leaving the main entrance as the only exit. Big hoop skirts worn during that period made the escape very difficult if not impossible. The main wood frame tower of the masonry church collapsed inwards around 10:00 p.m. The tragedy, contributed to organization of the first Volunteer Firemen's Corps in Santiago, on December 20 that year.

Q: python selenium : impossible to find element (input in a table) I ve tried many ways to find the element, but the retrieved element gives me an empty list.
This is the page :
https://www.avocatparis.org/annuaire
I try to locate the "nom" input form.
When i copy the xpath i get
//*[@id="_ctl0_Corps_txtRSNom"]
and when i copy the full xpath i get
/html/body/form/table/tbody/tr/td[2]/table/tbody/tr[2]/td/table/tbody/tr/td/div/div/div[2]/table/tbody/tr[1]/td[2]/input
When i put that into my code :
input = self.driver.find_elements(by=By.XPATH,value='//*[@id="_ctl0_Corps_txtRSNom"]')

I get an empty list.
Am i missing something?
Thank you.

A: NEW
The desired element is within an <iframe>, so you have to use WebDriverWait for waiting the iframe to be available, and then switch to it. Then you can get the element with the usual find_elements command.
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC

driver.get('https://www.avocatparis.org/annuaire')
WebDriverWait(driver, 30).until(EC.frame_to_be_available_and_switch_to_it((By.TAG_NAME, "iframe")))
element = driver.find_elements(By.XPATH, '//*[@id="_ctl0_Corps_txtRSNom"]')
print(len(element))

and you will see that the print is 1.

OLD
This is not a true answer since it doesn't solve the problem, however it was too long to be written in the comments.
By inspecting the text version of the HTML downloaded by selenium (see below) it turns out that it lacks a lot of the HTML that you find by manually opening the inspector tool of the browser. In particular the table containing the element you are interested in, i.e. #Table4, is not contained in the selenium page source. I guess it's a problem related to some javascript not loading. I tried both with chrome and firefox.
To see selenium page source run
print(driver.page_source)

Then search for <table (CTRL+F) you will see that there are only 5 results, all related to CookiebotDialog. Instead, if you go in the browser inspector tool and search //table you will see 11 results.
If I found a way to let selenium download the complete HTML code, I will update the answer.

We were able to gather a little more information from Olympus about what this update actually does. We were told that in some rare cases, RAW files become corrupt when using the camera, and this firmware fixes the issue. Olympus also released a new version of its free software Olympus Viewer (2.1.1) which is capable of processing the corrupt RAW files taken with the camera and the previous firmware (1.0).
Personally, we never ran into this problem while testing the E-M1 II, but even if it was limited to just a few cases, it is nice to see there is now a fix. You can download the firmware via Olympus Digital Camera Updater or Olympus Viewer.


Mexico: Colegio Ceiba is the only Waldorf kindergarten in Monterrey, a city of four million amidst the mountains of North-eastern Mexico. Located near the U.S. border, the area is strongly influenced by the North American culture. The Friends of Waldorf Education have supported the kindergarten in 2011, to equip it according to the children's needs.
South of Monterrey lies the Sierra Madre and in the north the vast prairie begins. In the east, on the other hand fruitful fields allow for farming, while a semi-desert extends towards the west. In between lies Monterrey - an international metropolis. However, due to the strong political unrest, people can no longer move about freely. The kindergarten trips are therefore limited to the nearby parks.
Seven years ago, Carmen Maria de la Peña Ruiz established the first and only Waldorf kindergarten in Monterrey so far. The former Montessori teacher has since continued to attend Waldorf education courses in Cuernavaca. Currently there are about 20 children, who benefit from Waldorf education at Colegio Ceiba. The facilities are very limited and the kindergarten pays a high monthly rent.
Yet the teachers are working on establishing a first primary school for which parents have already expressed their interest. The school wants to expand its premises and the garden, keep chickens and goats and plant fruit trees. Their aim is to build a place where children, despite the violence-ridden environment, can develop to become healthy, respectful and confident people. Furthermore, the school wants to give children from different social backgrounds the opportunity to grow up with this wonderful holistic education.
The kindergarten is in need of financial support in order to be able to continue to grow, to pay the high monthly rent and also enable children from poorer families to benefit from Waldorf education. The initiative would be very grateful for your support!

Between 2011 and 2017, meanwhile, an average of 57 state-level pro-life laws were enacted each year, and between 2000 and 2019, the number of states that Guttmacher deemed "hostile" to abortion rights increased from four to 22.

As the situation in Venezuela continues to deteriorate, following the usual, tragic path of socialism, the rest of the world is becoming increasingly nervous. This sort of societal implosion affects everyone, not just the starving masses suffering under the thumb of their dictator, Nicolas Maduro. An exodus of Venezuelans is overwhelming the resources of relief agencies in nearby countries and fears of the results of a possible military coup have the leaders of other South American nations on edge.
Member of German right-wing party is attacked and left unconscious in the street
Monday night a member of Alternative for Germany (AfD), the right-wing party that opposes immigration, was knocked unconscious in the street and suffered serious injuries. Frank Magnitz, the AfD's Bremen chairman, suffered a serious head wound after he was attacked by three men. Initially, the party released a statement saying he had been hit with a large piece of wood and then kicked when he was on the ground. Police said they were investigating the crime as a politically motivated attack, however, yesterday police changed their tune. A video of the incident showed something different from what the party press release described. From Deutsche Welle.
Dutch Authorities Threaten Criminal Charges for Pastors Who Signed Biblical Marriage Statement
What happens when a nation abandons God and replaces Him with full-throated secularism? In the Netherlands, it has meant the unleashing of a torrent of hostility toward religion in general and biblical Christianity in particular as the keepers of the nation's secular ethos seeks to marginalize those who would speak openly about biblical truth. Case in point, the overweening reaction to a group of pastors signing a simple statement of faith about marriage and gender. Authorities in the Netherlands are reportedly investigating whether the 250 evangelical pastors who signed the Nashville Statement on biblical sexuality have violated the law after objections were raised by so-called "equality organizations."

US joins calls to oust Venezuelan dictator. Opposition leader thrown in prison.
Earlier this week we learned that a group of Central and South American nations (plus Canada) had labeled the regime of Venezuelan dictator Nicolas Maduro illegitimate and called for him to step aside. At that time, I wondered when more nations would join in this effort, as well as the Organization of American States. As it happens, only a few days later the dominos began to fall a bit faster. The OAS and the United States both called on Maduro to be removed from office. The general consensus seems to be that Maduro should be replaced by opposition party and National Congress leader Juan Guaido.

Our members London Met Uni & Joju Solar win!
Home > News > Our members London Met Uni & Joju Solar win!
Congratulations to London Met Uni and Joju Solar for their success at the Solar Power Portal awards last night. They definitely deserve some celebratory drinks at the next ISEP networking event!
London Met University won the energy efficiency and CSR award. Their achievements were clearly proven when they met their 2009-2020 50% carbon reduction target four years early, helped by a wide range of innovative activities for students and staff. Projects like the student's Gardening Club and beekeeping sessions on the roof are complemented by the Green Impact programme for staff. The green message is kept alive by giving everyone involved a sense of agency and achievement.
Joju Solar won the award for best use of solar in a community project for their Big Community Summer. One of the most concentrated deployments of community energy in the UK, Joju Solar managed to install 2.5MW over 46 sites including 24 schools. It was all achieved in 10 weeks thanks to investment from nearly 1000 partners. Joju Solar installed our 2015 community project at Robert Blair school (pictured above) and it's great to watch Joju go from strength to strength.
The ceremony was hosted by Robert Llewellyn of Red Dwarf fame, though ISEP includes many fans of his Fully Charged show that explores electric vehicles and renewable energy.


This one i think is also verry nice But, is 20 watt's not to little?
Terrible recommendations if you ask me.
The first one is a quite expensive set of speakers intented for music listening,not music production.
All the other speakers are designed to be used for on stage live performances,again not for production.
When it comes to price,only the first link is for a pair,so all the other prices should be multiplied by 2.
I know i know hahah, i just bought the behringer set MS40 2x 20w monitor speakers. I think it's a good beginners decision, it's ok.
Im kinda in a :shock: of your feedback link, im opend it just when i maked my order hahah...i saved it in my favorites and im going to keep it in mind for my next buy.
hahaha yes thanks, i hope so!

Going Global leaves Ireland for new home with Greek rider
Greg Broderick and MHS Going Global
Date: November 25, 2016Author: The News Agency 0 Comments
Strong rumours have been circulating for weeks that the Irish Sport Horse MHS Going Global had been sold to Greek shipping heiress Athina Onassis, who competes for her country at the top level of show jumping.
Rider and co-owner Greg Broderick finally confirmed the sale today on his Facebook page.
While no exact details of the sale have been revealed, it is thought that any such transaction would be in the realm of millions of dollars, and may well constitute the highest price ever paid for an Irish-bred show jumper.
MHS Going Global is listed as being jointly owned by Canadian Lee Kruger's Caledonia Stables and Ireland's Ballypatrick Stables, the home of its Irish rider. Kruger has gone on record in the past to say that Broderick has a ten per cent share in all her horses, so it is likely that the Irishman will receive a considerable financial benefit from the sale.
Athina Onassis
The Irish-bred horse showed promising international form with a series of double-clear rounds in Nations' Cup outings for Ireland during 2015 and 2016, but was still a surprise Rio Olympic selection by High Performance Manager Robert Splaine for the single individual show jumping place earned by the country. Going Global finished in 50th place at Rio with 13 faults after just two rounds of the possible five in which it could have jumped.
The ten year-old horse has since put in impressive performances in five-star events in Spruce Meadows and Barcelona, but its value may not be based solely on results. Industry insiders point to a growing trend in the market for horses with fluidity and ease of riding to achieve high prices, and there is little doubt that Broderick, known for his ability to successfully produce young horses, has achieved one of his greater triumphs with Going Global.
Now that the horse has been sold to the Greek rider, Ireland will have lost one of its Nations' Cup stars, and Going Global may not be seen in these competitions again riding under the Irish flag.
Broderick said today on Facebook: "He was part of the family here at Ballypatrick and like a best friend to me. He will be hugely missed but it was a logical decision to sell him in the height of his career.
"I'd like to wish his new owner Athina Onassis all the luck with him and a big thank you to Lee Kruger for the opportunity to ride this great horse."
Going Global was bred by the late Ita Brennan of Kilkenny and sold to Lee Kruger as a five year-old.
Thirty-one year-old Athina Onassis, who is based in the Netherlands, is the only surviving descendant of Greek shipping magnate Aristotle Onassis. She organises the annual Athina Onassis International Horse Show in St Tropez, France, as well as participating herself in prestigious series like the Global Champions' Tour.

To Whom it May Concern;
The picture you have (2.) Hurricane Camille is incorrect Hurricane Camile made Landfall in Louisiana Coast and Mississippi on August 17, 1969 as a category 5. If you look the picture is on the east coast of Florida, Georgia & S Carolina. That is a picture of Hurricane Hugo. There were no color satellite photos in 1969. Please be so kind as to correct this error. The people who went through Hurricane Camille & Hurricane Hugo and people inquiring about the hurricanes would deeply appreciate your correcting the error.
Respectfuly,

This is inaccurate…where is the 1900 Storm that hit Galveston, TX? This storm took up to 12,000 lives. To this date, it is the deadliest natural disaster to EVER hit the united states.
Most people site 8,000 casualties which would make it the 3rd deadliest hurricane ever to be seen in the Atlantic. Some historians believe the number is closer to 12,000 casualties, which would put it in second place.
The 1900 Storm should be at the top of your list.
Chris June 2, 2011
Where is Katrina? It should be in the top 10 for sure.

The PAF – Prioritised Action Framework drawn up in the GESTIRE LIFE Project, is a multi-annual planning document that identifies priority actions for the Natura 2000 network in Lombardy.
The PAF provides an overview of the Natura 2000 Network, the current regulations, the state of conservation and risks factors of habitats and species in Lombardy. It includes an estimate of the Natura 2000 network management costs, the strategic conservation objectives, the description of the key measures and the funding sources to be activated to achieve them.

The PAF implies a very complex multi-year strategy that will be implemented in a longer time frame than that of the GESTIRE2020 project. GESTIRE2020 will implement the priorities and the most urgent conservation measures highlighted by the PAF. The actions of the project will be set in a long-term perspective, in order to ensure, after the end of the project, the full implementation of the PAF.
In order to monitor the project progresses towards the implementation of the PAF (action D4), indicators and data to be collected have been identified to quantify and assess the level of achievement of conservation priorities, also on the basis of the other monitoring activities (monitoring of habitats and species, action D1, socio-economic monitoring, action D2).
The results of the monitoring activity will be used for the biennial review of the PAF – required by the Habitats Directive – also to assess the need for its updating in the light of a better understanding of the necessary measures. The assessment of the degree of implementation of the PAF will improve the management of Natura 2000 and if needed to redirect policies by resetting the priorities.


A great way to load up fresh spinach! We usually get a big box full of Organic Spinach from Costco and I try to find different ways to cook it, so that it doesn't get boring. This one is super simple. Corn goes very well with Spinach, adds a bit of sweetness, and kids love it. I usually keep a couple of bags of organic corn in my freezer (from Trader Joe's).
1. Cook the Orzo Pasta according to package instructions, basically just like regular pasta, about 10 mins. Add salt to the water while cooking. Drain and set aside.
2. In a large pan, add a small amount of oil (or not), and add the Spinach. Once it softens, add the Corn. Let cook a couple of minutes. Add a 1/2 tsp of salt or as per your taste.
3. Add the Cooked Orzo Pasta and the Sundried Tomato Pesto.
4. Mix well and turn off heat. Enjoy!!
We had it with a side of Avocado, Cucumber and Tomato (from my garden) Salad. Just added a bit of Salt, Chili Powder and Lemon Juice. Another perfect Summer meal!!
