Witness Letter On Wedding

Editorial Agenda 2011

Earth, the seas, our rivers, air, always present, always sneaking in our bodies and our souls kissing. Hope always underestimated by Utopian, when we are turning our way of life is unsustainable. The hope is always individual and collective. The disagreement between what possible changes, if changes to personal or social, it is not. Changes occur at all levels, and rightly so. Are the seven eyes that must be rescued.

1 .- We are individuals: Any position change happens by making it personal.
2 .- We Are Family: Our small environment.
3 .- We are community: Our neighborhood, our neighbors.
and 4 .- We belong to a municipality. Rescuing our values \u200b\u200band meet our common, both culturally and geographically.
5 .- We are a region other than the idiosyncrasy is a ranger with such as an Oriental.
6 .- We are a country, and even more so (because our country is America), American. Defend our way of seeing the world, know our history, restoring and promoting our values \u200b\u200band bring our final release.
7 .- We are planetary. We inserted human family in the Nature family. The world is our common home (and common cause) and follow the same paths we traveled so far it expelled from our home.

How to change?
We, if we want to be and remain, a task to be done, unfinished dialogue, goals and planning for another possible world. But all this is achievable as we work on all seven eyes, without excluding or giving priority to no.
or changes occur simultaneously at all levels and the mechanisms that have produced both corporations and individuals to continue playing.
changes will at all levels and at all levels. The fight has to be both politically and socially. We have to be of both scientific tools like poetry. Can not be a socialist and not be green. The fight is for a different economy where more interested in social justice macroeconomic indicators. The fight includes knowledge of our history and the planning of a state that dilute facing a power growing increasingly popular. The fight is for education but always bearing the banner of the slogan delayed even Simón Rodríguez, "Either we invent or we err."

Well
Saramago said that in today's world there are two powers, one U.S., and the other is you.
This agenda, as have all the above is an invitation to hope, considering both the individual and different groups, and always aiming at the example of a good salad, with all colors . It is organic, it's politics, is educational, is philosophical, is complaint, and hope. It is always an invitation to hope, but that hope contemplative, dull, cheesy or good for free from guilt complexes. It is a hope for action, for muddy boots on the roads, to reflect on our actions and change, to join the daily struggle for another possible world.

This agenda is not intended to arrange the time to anyone, if so, seeks humbly, rather disorganized.

Pakistan has nuclear bombs. Is an ally of the U.S. and its territories have been used for the invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq. It has historical conflicts with India, which also has nuclear bombs. Neither country has signed the nonproliferation treaty of nuclear weapons, like Israel, USA, etc. The world upside down in some ways brings progress and poverty and human misery to the agenda, as is currently thousands of thousands of Pakistanis who suffer the ravages of nature that catches up with the abuse of Man. Begin to elaborate humanitarian aid and we remember that over 80% of the offered and approved for Haiti has not yet reached this island suffered. In the world upside down what is left is hypocrisy.

Why the book is not going to die advocates

Within
negative reactions to the current fashion ebook, excel seems more intense than the fear of the opponents of this means is that eventually kill the book, killing first the traditional order (the paper book), ends in denaturing irreversibly the concept is now understood book, the main culprit being the self-publishing and the danger it poses to the industry.

In Open Your Books, know that it will not, and here we show it.

The book is not a hard

There is a mistake many observers, and that has to do with the comparison of the publishing industry with the music industry in the last decade, the advent of digital formats (MP3 damn) managed to destabilize a very powerful industry. The RIAA statistics show that sales of music in physical format considerably lower (about 30%, vinyl apart) year after year, and worse, while sales in other formats (digital video) are growing, overall fall. With this bad news in hand, many in the publishing industry, and primarily publishers and booksellers, see new technologies as a threat whose development must be prevented at all costs.

However, few realize an obvious detail: while there is almost no difference between canned music on physical media and digital media, however, there is much difference between a physical book and a book digital. As much as the screens eInk achieve mimic the role, I can not compare my digital reading experience with my reading experience on paper. In contrast, Back In Black sounds exactly like my iPod today than it was 15 years ago in my personal, one Aiwa Super Bass that was very similar to this .

A book is not a photograph, but it works like I think
that to make a more accurate comparison, we must bring the book industry in the photographic industry, in recent years have seen digital cameras (electronic book readers), which have increased the volume of photos (of books) circulation. However, in spite of retaining free gigabytes of data in digital format on their computers, people are still paying to print your photos (to buy books of paper.)

And the good news? If we use statistics photographic industry, the photo prints have been multiplied by 10 between 2004 and 2010. And while most of the prints are made by users at home, the proportion of impressions made by a photographer retail increases year after year. In conclusion, the arrival of a new technology has managed to stimulate a sector of activity, and even create new businesses (for example, printing services via the Internet to be withdrawn at kiosks).

In short, as promoted digital cameras taking pictures, dramatically lowering the cost of pulling the trigger, electronic book readers are going to encourage reading, and the main reason is that the books will be much Cheap and easy to find in digital format. Moreover, the phenomenon of piracy that continue to flourish despite the guards to take the industry, allow movement very important unofficial content. The result? People will read again, and finally approaching the libraries will continue to be able to buy paper books, because in the same way that the best way to enjoy the old family photo album is stored in the drawer of the buffet, the best way to share their reading with their friends and family is invited to chest in the living library.

Ocean City Maryland Sr Week Houses

A

I like reading. I would like to say "I read a lot", however I must admit that "I read a lot." Back when I was a teenager, for several reasons. I had more time, had free access to the very sturdy paternal library, had no children, not working, etc ...

However, I am very surprised that today, in my spare time, often reading is not one of my priorities: many times I go to the internet or start studying or researching technology issues. But nevertheless, I enjoy reading. When I grab a book, it's hard to stop, unless it is very bad. And I'm what they call "good reader" ... What then? Why reading is not part of my priorities when choosing a fun?
hedonism and Epicureanism

Analyzing
very coldly, I admit that the mental effort I have to do to get me the computer is almost nil. Running from place to place on the internet has some hedonistic, I always feel that the surprise is just around the next page, my thirst for novelty finds its fullness in this way, and the effort required to achieve it is almost zero, or is summarized in a few tabs open Firefox ...

However, I realize that when I took the trouble to choose a good book, going into its plot and actively read and receptive, find another kind of pleasure: while still experiencing the feeling of surprise is always just around the next page (like clicking a link on the Internet), the pleasure is calmer, quieter, more durable ... more epicurean.

Generally, after a few hours surfing the net, left with a feeling of mental exhaustion, many received signals, many hopes of novelty, but also many disappointments. Little consistent content, almost no wire. Instead, after reading a good book, was completely serene with the feeling of having communicated with the author, of sharing emotions, ideas, concepts that he wanted to write.

A reading advocates
All this is a collection of concepts that should be obvious to everyone. However, it seems important to remind advocates of reading, these beings who complain that people no longer read, and who blame the TV, Hollywood, Internet, Playstation, drugs, and what not Moreover, in the background, reading, seeking pleasure. Whether emotional pleasure if I read a romance, an intellectual pleasure if I read a philosophy paper, but I always attracts the activity of reading, because I know find not only a pleasure but a pleasure to such superior durability. I would say that reading is an activity Epicurean, while most modern entertainments are hedonistic, like going for a walk with your family for a weekend is an epicurean activity while out dancing with friends is a pleasure rather hedonistic.

So what the defenders of the book comes up to tell their friends "go to the mountain with your wife and children instead of going to suck as sea shore? I think not, or if they do, should not have many friends or you should spend your evenings it wrong ... so what is the point in trying to convince people read? They can not be forced to experience the epicurean delights that only indulge in hedonism. Just enjoy, we readers, therefore we are more inclined toward the Epicurean, of the activity that fills us. And we hope that our books live forever. And you always know them again.

Rosetta - language tool

When I have to work with texts in several languages \u200b\u200b(French, English and English), I find it very inconvenient to have to open each time a tab with the dictionary I use most. Therefore, I decided to make Rosetta. A site that would simply look up definitions in different languages, based on the best sources available freely on the internet (the French Academy whose dictionary is available online through the work of atilf and ARTFL project, the Royal English Academy and The Free Dictionnary ).


Rosetta Why?
Obviously, this is a tribute to the Rosetta stone, which can be considered as the oldest dictionary known: playing in three languages \u200b\u200b(Egyptian hieroglyphics, demotic egicpcio and Greek uncial) the same text, a decree Pharaoh Ptolemy V revoking tax in the year 197 a. C.

What's the point?
Well, I intend use when translating texts, the truth is I do not like the bilingual dictionaries, so I prefer to look up the definition of a word in one language and validate that it matches the definition in another language. What if I have no idea how to say in another language to find the term to validate? In this case, is Google's translate tool, very practical: in the search bar, type:
translate \u0026lt;your palabra> \u0026lt;language Into Works of target>
're up. For example:
ouvre Into English translate
Into English translate your
translate Into English Buch

Y. .. " what else?
Secondly, to use some of this space to be telling the story of some words that I like or my attention. I'll be changing the cover regularly to make known a few words. We began today with Bourde , French word that means something like gross error. In all this, and gross Bourde ... common root?

Non Breakable Dishware

Create yourself a book in EPUB format

In this article we will see how to create, simply, a book in EPUB format, using basic tools found in any computer with the Windows operating system (XP, Vista or 7).

Note: The following operations were performed in an operating system Windows Vista Home Edition in English, it is possible that other versions of Windows or other languages, you have to change some details.

To avoid being too dry, refreshing take an example, and we will create, by way of example, a cute story for children, called The wolf, the goat and the seven kids . The original text of the brothers Grimm, and can be found in English or here in its original version, there . However, we will use as a base document as adapted and illustrated in 1978 by the Belgian Hemmerlin MA, childhood memory that he gave her godmother my little son last Christmas. The translation is faithful servant.



1. Create your workspace

First, we must create a new folder on the computer that call counts. In what follows, we will refer to this folder as your workspace.

Within our work space, create two new folders. The first is called META-INF, and the second OEBPS. META-INF folder contains the files descriptive of the publication, while OEBPS group the contents folder.

For the curious, OEBPS means Open eBook Publication Structure . Those who are curious or who are allergic to the technical terms can skip the next paragraph with joy.

EPUB A document has to obey three rules:

  • Open Publication Structure (OPS), which defines the structure of the text which may contain an EPUB file. As we shall see, is a subset the basic language of the web, HTML. The current specification, which dates from 11/09/2007, is defined here.
  • Open Packaging Format (OPF), which defines the structure of documents that must accompany the text, generally it is meta-data (table of contents, cover, etc ...). As we shall see, rests mainly on the XML format, which is the preferred language of information transfer today. The current specification, which also dates from 11/09/2007, is defined here.
  • OEBPS Container Format (OCF), which defines the EPUB file format, ie the envelope in turn contains files defined by the above rules. There is nothing more than a zipped file with some conventions, we'll see the end of this article. A tip? If you have an EPUB file and want to see the files that comprise it, just change his extension. Epub to . zip, and then let Windows to open it, you'll probably two subfolders, which in turn contain several XML files and HTML ... but we are getting ahead. The current specification, which dates from 11/11/2006, is defined here. Apparently, our friends in the International Digital Publishing Forum (in charge of designing these rules), has something to 11 September ... good one, I say no?

2. The cover image

Now that our workspace is created, we have to draw a nice cover for our story. For that, we use in our example MSPAINT program from Microsoft that is included with Windows, but any program that is capable of generating an image (in PNG, GIF, JPG or SVG) is used. In particular, we could use the background of a photo, scan and retouch an existing home in Finally, there are many techniques for doing this, which could be the subject of several articles. The only thing, though, is that if you're using your EPUB file for commercial purposes, have to check the rights associated with the documents you use.

  • the Start menu, you click on All Programs, then Accessories , and finally Paint .
  • program opens with a white background the size of our image.
  • first scales the image to a supported format (600x800 pixels). To do this, on the image , choose the option Attributes ...
  • We entered the following values:
    • Width: 600
    • High: 800
    • Units: Pixels
    • Colors or Black & White Color
  • Then press the button OK . Resize the picture to a rectangle that is our cover, in white.
  • There, you'll have to leave work your boundless imagination and apply creativity to get a decent result. Clear that a program is as basic as MSPAINT, this is a feat. However, with a little work, you can get a result like (OK, not Magritte, but I've seen worse out of the twisted mind of a computín):

obtained image file must be placed in the folder OEBPS of our workspace, in our example, save the file with the name Portada.png . We chose the PNG format as it is one of the most optimized to render simple graphics in a pixel-based display. To record the image in PNG since MSPAINT, you have to click on the menu File, Save As ... option , and choose the type PNG (*. png) drop-down list under the file name.

3. The cover file

Now that we have our image, we need to include in a cover file. To do this, we must design a file in HTML format, and more specifically, in a subset of type XHTML 1.1. If this is Chinese for you, do not worry, the idea of \u200b\u200bthis paper is that you learn ... And if you want to learn, well, you are advised a wonderful tool, which makes all the hits, and more. Calibre is called, is available here , and is cheaper than lens gutter, it is free, open source, and on top, free.

Well, for the brave, to work: in our example we will use as a word processor program Notepad from Microsoft that is included with all versions of Windows (at least since I have use of reason), but any word processor capable of delivering a text in UTF-8 or UTF-16 can be used.

  • Start menu , we click All Programs, then Accessories , and finally Notepad.
  • In the file paste the following lines:
\u0026lt;? Xml version = '1 .0 'encoding =' utf-8 '?>
\u0026lt;! DOCTYPE html PUBLIC " - / / W3C / / DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict / / EN "" http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd ">
\u0026lt;html xmlns =" \u200b\u200bhttp:// www.w3.org/1999/xhtml "xml: lang =" en ">
\u0026lt;head>
\u0026lt;meta http-equiv = "Content-Type" content = "text / html; charset = UTF-8 "/>
\u0026lt;title> Portada \u0026lt;/ title>
\u0026lt;style type =" text / css "title =" override_css ">
@page {padding: 0pt; margin:0pt}
            body { text-align: center; padding:0pt; margin: 0pt; }
            div { margin: 0pt; padding: 0pt; }
        </style>
    </head>
    <body>
        <div>
            <img src="portada.png" alt="portada" style="height: 100%"/>
        </div>
    </body>
</html>
   


brief explanation of the above:

  • The first line states that we create an xml document, version 1.0, with the character encoding utf-8.
  • The second line declares the type of document which is formed (XHTML strict, version 1).
  • The third line declares the document follows the HTML standard, using the official namespace, and that language is English.
  • The fourth line starts the head section file, which ends in the tenth line.
  • The fifth line defines the type of content (text, HTML format, encoded in UTF-8).
  • The sixth line defines the title (Home).
  • The seventh line opens a space defined styles, which ends in the tenth line.
  • The seventh line defines that the page does not have margins.
  • The ninth line defines the text body will not have margins.
  • The tenth line defines the constituent elements of the text does not have margins.
  • The thirteenth \u0026lt;body> line starts the file that ends in the fifteenth line.
  • The fourteenth line starts element \u0026lt;div> (subdivision file), which ends at the sixteenth line.
  • The fifteenth line includes the cover image from the file portada.png, specifying that it must occupy the full height of the screen.
  • The eighteenth line ends the file.

Finally, the Notepad, choose File menu and Save option. We locate the file in the folder OEBPS of our workspace, we call portada.html , we define the type as All Files (*.*) , and select the character encoding UTF-8 . After having checked all these elements, we can push the button Save .

To verify, we can double-click the newly created document, should appear in our default browser (eg Internet Explorer or Firefox), the image created in step 2.

4. The body text

Now, we'll have to type our text. To do this, it must be done in HTML format, the same as that used for the cover file. Therefore, using the same tool (in our case, Notepad), create the following file:


\u0026lt;? Xml version = "1.0" encoding = "utf -8 "?>
\u0026lt;! DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "- / / W3C / / DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict / / EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
\u0026lt;html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en">
\u0026lt;head>
\u0026lt; ; title> The wolf, the goat and the seven kids \u0026lt;/ title>
\u0026lt;/ head>
\u0026lt;body>
\u0026lt;h1> The wolf, the goat and the seven kids \u0026lt;/ h1>
\u0026lt;p> Once upon a time Mrs. Goat, a white goat who, before shopping at the neighboring village did not fail to recommend to his seven kids that do not open the door to anyone during his absence. \u0026lt;/ p>
\u0026lt;p> little kids were very obedient. \u0026lt;/ p>
\u0026lt;p> placed the big lock just your mom is out and on the window, looked away. \u0026lt;/ p>
\u0026lt;p> wolf, hiding in a ditch, had heard everything. He let the goat at his side, looked but did not attack because he found it very tough. "Fresh meat of their children has to be much higher!" He thought. \u0026lt;/ P>
\u0026lt;p> After some time the wolf came to Dona's hut Goat: "Open, my children," he shouted. "No! You're not our mom! It's too thick voice "responded the seven kids. Then the wolf, cunning, was to look for honey to sweeten his voice. \u0026lt;/ p>
\u0026lt;p> Soon returned and imitated perfectly the voice of Mrs. Goat. \u0026lt;/ p>
\u0026lt;p> kids were going to open when one of them was a thick black paw under the door and taught his brothers. \u0026lt; ; / p>
\u0026lt;p> "Go!" bleated then the kids. "Our mom does not have black legs like yours!" They added. "Apparently, these guys are very smart," thought the wolf. But an idea came to him and hurried to the bakery. \u0026lt;/ P> Unti \u0026lt;p> \u200b\u200b
one foot in the flour, and then hurried back to the cabin. "Open, my children," he said, being careful to pass his paw under the door white. This time, Kids Do not hesitate! It was the same voice of her mother, the same color hair and opened the door wide ...\u0026lt;/ p>
\u0026lt;p> Horror! A jump, the wolf entered the room. \u0026lt;/ P>
\u0026lt;p> little kids with terror, tried to hide in furniture, under the table and the stove. \u0026lt;/ p>
\u0026lt;p> What a pity! The wolf had been. He brought them out one by one from his hiding place and devoured them. \u0026lt;/ P>
\u0026lt;p> After having eaten six kids, he was satisfied and left the cabin without realizing that the seventh kid was hiding in the big clock. \u0026lt;/ p>
\u0026lt;p> returned from the village, found a mess Dona Cabra awful in the cabin and saw no trace of their children. Suddenly, he seemed to hear a bleating coming from the clock. \u0026lt;/ P>
\u0026lt;p> Yes! He was one of their beloved children! This told her mesaventura and Mrs. Goat was immediately into the river, knowing that after eating So the wolf would go there to quench their thirst. \u0026lt;/ p>
\u0026lt;p> a single snip, goat, wolf's stomach open and recovered his children tenderly kissed. And since that day, no wolf dared to attack the brave little goat. \u0026lt;/ P>
\u0026lt;/ body>
\u0026lt;/ html>


not go into detail here, the file follows the same structure as portada.html . Just notice that to delineate paragraphs within the \u0026lt;body>, use the tag \u0026lt;p>, and to highlight a title, use the tag \u0026lt;h1>.


Finally, in Notepad, choose File menu, the Save option. We locate the file in the folder OEBPS of our workspace, we call cuento.html , we define the type as All Files (*.*) , and select the character encoding UTF-8. After having checked all these elements, we can press the Save button.

To verify, we can double-click the newly created document, should appear in our default browser (eg Internet Explorer or Firefox), our story, separated into paragraphs.

5. The table of contents file


Although our story does not have chapters, and is more of a single block of text, the EPUB format forces us to declare a table content.

So do this in a document type NCX (Navigation Center eXtended, for the curious). To do this, it must be done in XML format, a relative of HTML we just saw. Therefore, using the same tool (in our case, Notepad), create the following file:

\u0026lt;? Xml version = "1.0" encoding = "utf-8"?> ;
\u0026lt;! DOCTYPE NCX PUBLIC "- / / NISO / / DTD NCX 2005-1 / / EN" "http://www.daisy.org/z3986/2005/ncx-2005-1.dtd">
version="2005-1" \u0026lt;ncx xml:lang="en" xmlns="http://www.daisy.org/z3986/2005/ncx/">
\u0026lt;head>
    <meta name="dtb:uid" content="1978-0058-99"/>
    <meta name="dtb:depth" content="1"/>
    <meta name="dtb:totalPageCount" content="0"/>
    <meta name="dtb:maxPageNumber" content="0"/>
  </head>
  <docTitle>
    <text>El lobo, la cabra and the seven kids \u0026lt;/ text>
\u0026lt;/ docTitle>
\u0026lt;docAuthor>
\u0026lt;text> MA Hemmerlin \u0026lt;/ text>
\u0026lt;/ docAuthor>
; \u0026lt;navMap> \u0026lt;navPoint
class="chapter" id="cuento" playOrder="1">
\u0026lt;navLabel> \u0026lt;text> ; Story \u0026lt;/ text> \u0026lt;/ navLabel> \u0026lt;content
src="cuento.html"/>
\u0026lt;/ NavPoint>
\u0026lt;/ navMap>
\u0026lt;/ NCX>

brief explanation of the above:

  • The first line states that we create an xml document, version 1.0, with the character encoding utf -8.
  • The second line declares the type of document which is formed (NCX, version 2005-1).
  • The third line states that NCX is a document, in English and declares the namespace.
  • In the fourth line begins the section, which defines the following:
    • The identifier "uid", which must be unique for publication. In this case we are using the serial number that had the physical book that we adptando. You can also use the ISBN number, or any other classification to uniquely identify a book.
    • The depth of the table (1 to display only the titles of the chapters)
    • Then two mandatory attributes that must be always 0, which are totalPageCount and maxPageNumber.
  • Then come the \u0026lt;docTitle> , which is the title of the document.
  • Then come the \u0026lt;docAuthor>, which is the author.
  • Finally comes the section \u0026lt;navMap> , which indicates the chapters of our paper, this If there is one, which is the body text. PlayOrder attribute equal to 1 assigned the first place in our table of contents.

Finally, the Notepad, choose File menu the option Save . We locate the file in the folder OEBPS of our workspace, we call contenidos.ncx , we define the type as All Files (*.*) , and select the character encoding UTF-8 . After having checked all these elements, we can push the button Save .


6. The structure file OPF

Now, let's define the structure of our text in a document called OPF (remember the curious, Open Packaging Format ). To do this, we must, again, do it in XML format. Therefore, using the same tool (in our case, Notepad), create the following file:


\u0026lt;? Xml version = "1.0" encoding = "utf- 8 "?>
\u0026lt;packa

ge version = "2.0" xmlns = "http://www.idpf.org/2007/opf" unique-identifier = "book">

brief explanation of the above:
  • The first line states that we create an xml document, version 1.0, with the character encoding utf-8.
  • The second line declares that this is a document OPF, and identifies the document with the attribute "Book."
  • The third line reference the Dublin Core namespace and the namespace OPF.
  • The next section, called \u0026lt;metadata> identifies a series of items meta-data:
    • Title
    • The author
    • A description or review
    • responsible for publishing The
    • A bibliographic reference base used (contributor to type "ant")
    • The editor (contributor of type "EDT")
    • Illustrator (kind contributor of "ill")
    • The translator (contributor type "trl")
    • relevant dates: creation, modification and publication
    • The unique identifier "Book": note should be the same as indicated in the table of contents as an attribute "uid".
    • The language of publication (in this case, "English" character set "Latin" region "Chile")
    • Copyright
  • Then come the \u0026lt;manifest> , which includes all the files that make up the contents of the publication, along with your ID and type:
    • The story, found for "story", which is a XHTML document.
    • The table of contents, identified by "contents", which is an XML document type X-DTBNCX.
    • The cover image, identified by "img-of-home", a PNG document.
    • The cover, identified by "cover", which is a XHTML document.
  • Then come the \u0026lt;spine>, or spine, which has sections that are presented to the reader in the correct order of presentation, in our case are just two:
    • The cover
    • story itself
  • Finally comes the section \u0026lt;guide>, which publishes various sections for reading systems, in our case we have three:
    • The table of contents (type "toc", ie "table of contents")
    • The body of the text (of type "text")
    • The cover (type "cover").

Finally, the Notepad, choose File menu the option Save . We locate the file in the folder OEBPS of our workspace, we call Cuento.opf , we define the type as All Files (*.*) , and select the character encoding UTF-8 . After having checked all these elements, we can push the button Save .

7. The package file

I have almost finished. We need now to create a package file, which indicates what the OPF file that identifies our publication. Again, this is an XML file, so we will do this in Notepad:

\u0026lt;? Xml version = "1.0" encoding = "utf-8"?>
\u0026lt;container version="1.0" xmlns="urn:oasis:names:tc:opendocument:xmlns:container">
\u0026lt;rootfiles>
full-path="OEBPS/Cuento.opf" \u0026lt;rootfile media-type="application/oebps-package+xml" />
\u0026lt;/ RootFiles>
\u0026lt;/ container>


We will be brief here: the only interesting attribute is the "full-path" which indicates that the file Cuento.opf that identifies our publication, is in the folder OEBPS.

In Notepad, choose File menu the option Save . We locate the file in the META-INF folder of your workspace, we call container.xml , we define the type as All Files (*.*) , and select the character encoding UTF-8 . After having checked all these items, we can push the button Save .

8. Mimetype file

The last file that asks the EPUB standard is the file mimetype . This is a very simple file, plain text, we will do by the simple but very useful, Notepad:

application / epub + zip


then chose menu File, Save option . We locate the file in the folder of your workspace (ie directly into the Account folder), we call mimetype , we define the type and All files (*.*) , and select the character encoding UTF-8 . After having checked all these elements, we can push the button Save .

9. The final file

already have all the ingredients to make our final file EPUB format. To do this, nothing easier:

Go to the folder of your workspace folder (STORY).
select the file mimetype , META-INF folder and the folder OEBPS. We
click right mouse button and choose the Send To menu , and then select Folder compressed (zipped) .

The above creates a file called mimetype.zip .

rename it in Cuento.epub .

Y. .. Already! Do not believe me? Open it with Adobe Digital Editions ... (Reader of books in EPUB format for your PC, which is neither free nor open source, but which is free and available here .)


We have obtained a very basic file but thanks to which, I hope, the EPUB format and has no more secrets for you ... And since you have the gift to retoñito dreamed for the day of the child ...

The terrible dilemma of cost e-book giants struggle

According to literary agent Nathan Bransford, the problem of the cost of an electronic book faces a terrible dilemma : its really not at all correspond to what we imagine the public ...


Myth and reality ... a theme not unknown for book lovers, is now inviting debate about the cost of the eBook.

Indeed, the author of the article gives the following example: in a classic book that costs $ 25, the distribution of costs is made in this way (we're talking about an exercise rather theoretical course):
  • $ 12.5 for the distributor and the bookseller (publishers usually sell the book about half its final sale price, but are not responsible for the distribution of books to retail outlets)
  • $ 2.5 to shared between the author and his agent (this is obviously very relative, but it may take an average of one author receives 10% of the final price and shares it with his agent, usually with a distribution of 85/15)
  • $ 10 for the editor, which are divided into:
    • $ 2 for costs of printing and binding
    • $ 2 for the logistical costs (shipping, storage, stock management, etc ...)
    • $ 6 for other costs of publishing
says Bransford that if we wish, sell their works in electronic form, the authors preserve their income levels, the only costs that can cut are then the $ 4 cost of printing and binding costs, giving us for the same book in electronic format, a value of $ 17, so divided:
  • $ 8.5 for the distributor or bookseller (applying 50%)
  • $ 2.5 a share between the author and his agent (preserving the current level of remuneration)
  • $ 6 for the publishing, not of course include printing costs or logistical
We see this exercise is not so easy to reduce the cost of a book, which is very electronic. However, obviously the public opinion, paying $ 17 for a book that is worth $ 25 in paper, not a business. Here is the dilemma between myth (the public) that says that the production of an e-book costs nothing, and reality (the editors) that can not sustain these low prices, often dictated by distributors (such as Amazon and lately, Apple). Although this is a bit more complex than it appears, for example, Amazon sells electronic books under $ 10 even paying more for them to publishers ... now that's played ... although it is clear that you end up playing against the latter.


But Bransford's speech seems a little weak in 2 aspects: first, he forgets that distribution costs should also be quasi-deleted (which costs up an Internet e-book now?), So that could lower the rate of 50% applicable to traditional book distribution, and second is likely to have to ask the authors with an absolute effort (keeping rates similar to current), effort justified by the fact that while is cheaper to sell their works, is likely to sell more.

Anyway, this problem is quite interesting and publishers / distributors that you can understand and resolve the best way will probably be the largest of tomorrow ...

Abortion Clinics In The Boston Area



Maikel The first time was at the house dates back six years. Came about to do some homework with my son, and was accompanied by a large part of Friends of the classroom. It was quite restless, inquisitive and a joker. It is seen that played the comedian in his friends. He was also friendly and always greeted me later love and appreciation.
The second time I went to the house, while her mother appeared. We talked for a while and sorry for coming, I said we had to keep an eye on him which gave him reason and I assured him that there was no problem with come to do homework, let alone that she came. Maikel
suffered from epilepsy and his mother knew he had to take special care with it. Maikel
and his mother lived in the neighborhood of 18 km of the Pan-American, and unlike all his friends was the only one who lived in the neighborhood. The lady attended a warehouse in the same neighborhood and could afford to have your child in a private school. She was married to another man who was not the father of Maikel. Maikel's father knew nothing and he did not know or want to know anything about it.
Time passed and the friendship of Maikel and my son moved away due to changes in school, however I met him several times and always asked about her studies.
More or less two years Maikel's mother died of cancer. Maikel stepfather was in charge of that proved to be as absent as his father. Maikel tattooed the name of his mother in the chest and gave to friends in the neighborhood used to commit crimes.
Not long ago I met him, and already knowing who was the wrong road, I volunteered to teach him to resume his abandoned studies. I said yes, I'd go for the house, but knew little likelihood of that happening.
had been dedicated to making armed robbery, and twice had along with two accomplices assaulted a butcher shop near the neighborhood. The owner of the third time he drew a pistol and shot him. Maikel the corpse lying on the sidewalk.
A bullet pierced his chest, right where he had tattooed the name of his mother.

The Rc Nitro Four Wheel Drive Dodge Ram



The Giants are hot in Chile. This weekend we completed the presentation of "The Invitation: small Giant Diving Bell and his uncle, huge puppets that the company Royal de Luxe brought to the streets of Santiago to star in an entertaining search and a tearful reunion. But not all is love between giants. In trying to define the prices of electronic books, also armed mochas.
(Photo: Flickr alter_nati_va )

our friend is no doubt that Amazon is now the "giant" electronic books. However, is having some hectic days, with the help of the American publisher Macmillan. According this blog KT Bradford, editor of LAPTOP magazine, discontent is that Amazon does not sell electronic books to more than $ 9.99. And obviously, Macmillan wants to sell more expensive (about USD 15, according to this article New York Times). "Duel of Persian carpet sellers so far, with little to do with a struggle gulliveriana? OK. But it is interesting to deepen the subject.

books at Amazon and $ 10
Willing to regulate the prices of electronic books appears laudable reasonable levels, besides the fact that it is probably the only way to ensure the business. However, Amazon has the bad habit of wanting to keep the lion's share. In fact, for each book sold on their website, they stay on average for 50% of the purchase price. The rest of the proceeds of the sale is shared between the publisher and author. Under these conditions, force publishers to reduce their profits to obey a strict pricing policy is probably not the best way to ensure the business. In addition, on the other hand, Apple offers through its iStore, to publishers more advantageous: a price of USD 15 and a sharing of proceeds from the sale of 30/70 between the platform and the content owner.

The editor, actor sensitive electronic book business
Indeed, in the electronic book business, you have to take care of the editor. It is the heart of literary activity, in the sense that it is he who supplies the blood (produced by the writers) to their veins (distribution networks). The costs of publication of an electronic book are a bit more lower than those of a physical book, but the levels are not very different: according to Bradford, the printing costs only represent 10% of the total cost of publication. Apparently, Amazon realized this and is beginning to change its rules, as we explained a few days at the end of this Article . Also reached an agreement with Macmillan, where they stop to this editorial choice of a price ranging between 13 and 15 dollars.

A interesting question to ask is why Amazon, which ultimately is nothing more than a reseller, is allowed to unilaterally set prices? Finally, prices "should not determine the law of supply and demand?

Anyway, this battle of giants is proving that the economic model of electronic books is still traveling the road to maturity. Just like a little doll who was wandering the city streets in recent days ...
