+               <description>&lt;p&gt;Today, finally, my first printed draft edition of the Norwegian
+translation of Free Culture I have been working on for the last few
+years arrived in the mail.  I had to fake a cover to get the interior
+printed, and the exterior of the book look awful, but that is
+irrelevant at this point.  I asked for a printed pocket book version
+to get an idea about the font sizes and paper format as well as how
+good the figures and images look in print, but also to test what the
+pocket book version would look like.  After receiving the 500 page
+pocket book, it became obvious to me that that pocket book size is too
+small for this book.  I believe the book is too thick, and several
+tables and figures do not look good in the size they get with that
+small page sizes.  I believe I will go with the 5.5x8.5 inch size
+instead.  A surprise discovery from the paper version was how bad the
+URLs look in print.  They are very hard to read in the colophon page.
+The URLs are red in the PDF, but light gray on paper.  I need to
+change the color of links somehow to look better.  But there is a
+printed book in my hand, and it feels great. :)&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Now I only need to fix the cover, wrap up the postscript with the
+store behind the book, and collect the last corrections from the proof
+readers before the book is ready for proper printing.  Cover artists
+willing to work for free and create a Creative Commons licensed vector
+file looking similar to the original is most welcome, as my skills as
+a graphics designer are mostly missing.&lt;/p&gt;

-               <description>&lt;p&gt;Television loudness is the source of frustration for viewers
-everywhere.  Some channels are very load, others are less loud, and
-ads tend to shout very high to get the attention of the viewers, and
-the viewers do not like this.  This fact is well known to the TV
-channels.  See for example the BBC white paper
-&quot;&lt;a href=&quot;http://downloads.bbc.co.uk/rd/pubs/whp/whp-pdf-files/WHP202.pdf&quot;&gt;Terminology
-for loudness and level dBTP, LU, and all that&lt;/a&gt;&quot; from 2011 for a
-summary of the problem domain.  To better address the need for even
-loadness, the TV channels got together several years ago to agree on a
-new way to measure loudness in digital files as one step in
-standardizing loudness.  From this came the ITU-R standard BS.1770,
-&quot;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.itu.int/rec/R-REC-BS.1770/en&quot;&gt;Algorithms to
-measure audio programme loudness and true-peak audio level&lt;/a&gt;&quot;.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;The ITU-R BS.1770 specification describe an algorithm to measure
-loadness in LUFS (Loudness Units, referenced to Full Scale). But
-having a way to measure is not enough.  To get the same loudness
-across TV channels, one also need to decide which value to standardize
-on.  For European TV channels, this was done in the EBU Recommondaton
-R128, &quot;&lt;a href=&quot;https://tech.ebu.ch/docs/r/r128.pdf&quot;&gt;Loudness
-normalisation and permitted maximum level of audio signals&lt;/a&gt;&quot;, which
-specifies a recommended level of -23 LUFS.  In Norway, I have been
-told that NRK, TV2, MTG and SBS have decided among themselves to
-follow the R128 recommondation for playout from 2016-03-01.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;There are free software available to measure and adjust the loudness
-level using the LUFS.  In Debian, I am aware of a library named
-&lt;a href=&quot;https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/libebur128&quot;&gt;libebur128&lt;/a&gt;
-able to measure the loudness and since yesterday morning a new binary
-named &lt;a href=&quot;http://bs1770gain.sourceforge.net&quot;&gt;bs1770gain&lt;/a&gt;
-capable of both measuring and adjusting was uploaded and is waiting
-for NEW processing.  I plan to maintain the latter in Debian under the
-&lt;a href=&quot;https://qa.debian.org/developer.php?email=pkg-multimedia-maintainers%40lists.alioth.debian.org&quot;&gt;Debian
-multimedia&lt;/a&gt; umbrella.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;The free software based TV channel I am involved in,
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.frikanalen.no/&quot;&gt;Frikanalen&lt;/a&gt;, plan to follow the
-R128 recommondation ourself as soon as we can adjust the software to
-do so, and the bs1770gain tool seem like a good fit for that part of
-the puzzle to measure loudness on new video uploaded to Frikanalen.
-Personally, I plan to use bs1770gain to adjust the loudness of videos
-I upload to Frikanalen on behalf of &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.nuug.no/&quot;&gt;the
-NUUG member organisation&lt;/a&gt;.  The program seem to be able to measure
-the LUFS value of any media file handled by ffmpeg, but I&#39;ve only
-successfully adjusted the LUFS value of WAV files.  I suspect it
-should be able to adjust it for all the formats handled by ffmpeg.&lt;/p&gt;
