More than a million acres in Idaho and Montana are on fi re, the smoke invading and settling into river valleys, the sun Jred, the air “unhealthy” in mountain towns. Fire crews carry on against the odds, and at 92°F, everyone hopes for cool nights and the relief of rain — for September. Julieta Coirini in Argentina calls August a “transition month.” “Nothing really interesting or extreme tends to happen in the middle of the year,” she says, but this August is a cold one with snow all around, warming into the 40s°F, 8° to 10°C. Political campaigns heat up as the country approaches a spring (October) presidential election. Worlds away, translators are facing dangerous environments — with Iraq at the top of the list. “Translators who work for the US military in Iraq are as important to the overall mission as armor is to soldiers who patrol the streets of Baghdad — both are essential,” says a writer in the US military newspaper Stars and Stripes. (Note: translators don’t get body armor.) Last year, 50 of them received US visas. Many more than that have been killed. The Iraqi parliament and the US Congress are on vacation while soldiers, interpreters and “ordinary people” carry on, and Baghdad is “cooling down” to 87°F — 31°C — at night. Congressional Quarterly (July 30) says the US government “is still struggling” to fi nd qualifi ed personnel such as linguists, as we’ve heard before. And once they’re hired, “it takes between fi ve and seven years to fully develop an intelligence analyst,” says Ronald P. Sanders of the Offi ce of the Director of National Intelligence. However sophisticated the technology they use may become, people with language skills are needed — teachers, translators, analysts and trainers. Carry on. In this issue . We’re focusing on the tech side of the language industry — mostly translation tools — and who better to provide an overview of the current trends in tools than Jost Zetzsche? Benjamin B. Sargent and Yves Savourel add forward-looking commentary and a summary of standards. Then Richard Sikes explains how fuzzy matching works, Rafael Guzmán shows how to use regular expressions in post- editing Spanish machine translation, and Christie Fidura addresses the conveyor belt approach to terminology management. In a look at African languages, Arvi Hurskainen describes the development of tools for working with Swahili, and Linda Martindale tells the story of a nonprofi t organization building localized software for the languages of South Africa. Earl Mardle continues his examination of trends in e-government with a look at citizen access in the United States. Tom Edwards makes a strong case for geocultural literacy, John Freivalds illustrates the differences between two localization approaches, and Ultan Ó Broin explores social translation in his Takeaway. Ignacio Garcia and Vivian Stevenson review Lionbridge’s Logoport, and Fabien Côté reviews the book In Defence of French: A Language in Crisis? Language technology, translation and international software — the tools and activities of the language industry — are helping to change our world for the better. We’re planning an issue with a focus on those projects, and, if you know of one, please pass the word to [email protected] so that we may include it.

Prof. Information Assurance Program Director, MSIA BSIA Division of Business Management Norwich University [email protected] Copyright © 2006 M. E. Kabay. All rights reserved. Page 1 INFOSEC UPDATE 2006 -- June 19-20, 2006 01 Introduction Category 01 Introduction 2006-06-12 Introduction M. E. Kabay, PhD, CISSP WELCOME Welcome to the 2005 edition of the Information Security Year in Review (IYIR) project. In 1993 and 1994, I was an adjunct professor in the Institute for Government Informatics Professionals in Ottawa, Canada under the aegis of the University of Ottawa. I taught a one-semester course introducting information security to government personnel and enjoyed the experience immensely. Many of the chapters of my 1996 textbook, _The NCSA Guide to Enterprise Security_ published by McGraw-Hill were field-tested by my students. In 1995, I was asked if I could run a seminar for graduates of my courses to bring them up to date on developments across the entire field of information security. Our course had twenty students and I so enjoyed it that I continued to develop the material and teach the course with the NCSA (National Computer Security Association; later called ICSA and then eventually renamed TruSecure Corporation and finally CyberTrust, its current name) all over the United States, Canada, Europe, Asia and the Caribbean. After a few years of working on this project, it became obvious that saving abstracts in a WordPerfect file was not going to cut it as an orderly method for organizing the increasing mass of information that I was encountering in my research.

  • VENTURING INTO OUR PAST NEWSLETTER of the JEWISH GENEALOGICAL SOCIETY of the CONEJO VALLEY and VENTURA COUNTY (JGSCV) Volume 4, Issue 5 February 2009
    VENTURING INTO OUR PAST NEWSLETTER OF THE JEWISH GENEALOGICAL SOCIETY OF THE CONEJO VALLEY AND VENTURA COUNTY (JGSCV) Volume 4, Issue 5 February 2009 President's Letter There was laughter while learning at Ron Aron's presentation at the January 4 meeting "The Musical 'Chicago' and All That Genealogical Jazz"! Ron is a four-time guest speaker, each time with a different presentation that has the audience learning while enjoying the tales he tells. This presentation, part of a program given at the 2008 IAJGS International Conference on Jewish Genealogy, demonstrated through a myriad of internet resources, newspaper and court documents the truth from fiction about Belva Gaertner, one of the two real-life women who were convicted of murdering their lovers in Chicago in 1924. The websites and references referred to by Ron is posted on www.JGSCV.org website under programs, previous, and the January 4, 2009 date. Recepients of this Newsletter who have not yet joined our JGSCV for the year 2009 are so encouraged. What better can you do to spend $25/$30 for socialization, fun, education and meeting new friends! Additional contributions to our library and program funds are greatly appreciated. As a non-profit organization your SPEAKER RON ARONS contributions are eligible for tax deductibility. We met last Nov. & Dec. on Monday evenings. Some members may prefer the Sunday afternoon meetings. The board is considering holding 2-3 meetings a year on a weekday evening. We would like to hear from members if they would have problems with such a plan. The majority of meetings would still be on Sunday afternoons.

  • E-Book Readers Kindle Sony and Nook a Comparative Study
    E-BOOK READERS KINDLE SONY AND NOOK: A COMPARATIVE STUDY Baban Kumbhar Librarian Rayat Shikshan Sanstha’s Dada Patil Mahavidyalaya, Karjat, Dist Ahmednagar E-mail:[email protected] Abstract An e-book reader is a portable electronic device for reading digital books and periodicals, better known as e- books. An e-book reader is similar in form to a tablet computer. Kindle is a series of e-book readers designed and marketed by Amazon.com. The Sony Reader was a line of e-book readers manufactured by Sony. NOOK is a brand of e-readers developed by American book retailer Barnes & Noble. Researcher compares three E-book readers in the paper. Keywords: e-book reader, Kindle, Sony, Nook 1. Introduction: An e-reader, also called an e-book reader or e-book device, is a mobile electronic device that is designed primarily for the purpose of reading digital e-books and periodicals. Any device that can display text on a screen may act as an e-book reader, but specialized e-book reader designs may optimize portability, readability (especially in sunlight), and battery life for this purpose. A single e-book reader is capable of holding the digital equivalent of hundreds of printed texts with no added bulk or measurable mass.[1] An e-book reader is similar in form to a tablet computer. A tablet computer typically has a faster screen capable of higher refresh rates which makes it more suitable for interaction. Tablet computers also are more versatile, allowing one to consume multiple types of content, as well as create it.

  • Translate's Localization Guide
    Translate’s Localization Guide Release 0.9.0 Translate Jun 26, 2020 Contents 1 Localisation Guide 1 2 Glossary 191 3 Language Information 195 i ii CHAPTER 1 Localisation Guide The general aim of this document is not to replace other well written works but to draw them together. So for instance the section on projects contains information that should help you get started and point you to the documents that are often hard to find. The section of translation should provide a general enough overview of common mistakes and pitfalls. We have found the localisation community very fragmented and hope that through this document we can bring people together and unify information that is out there but in many many different places. The one section that we feel is unique is the guide to developers – they make assumptions about localisation without fully understanding the implications, we complain but honestly there is not one place that can help give a developer and overview of what is needed from them, we hope that the developer section goes a long way to solving that issue. 1.1 Purpose The purpose of this document is to provide one reference for localisers. You will find lots of information on localising and packaging on the web but not a single resource that can guide you. Most of the information is also domain specific ie it addresses KDE, Mozilla, etc. We hope that this is more general. This document also goes beyond the technical aspects of localisation which seems to be the domain of other lo- calisation documents.

Amparo Alcina Caudet Universitat Jaume I Castellón de la Plana, diciembre de 2012 AGRADECIMIENTOS Quiero agradecer muy especialmente a la Dra. Amparo Alcina, directora de esta tesis, en primer lugar por haberme acogido en el máster Tecnoloc y el grupo de investigación TecnoLeTTra y por haberme animado luego a continuar con mi investigación como proyecto de doctorado. Sus sugerencias y comentarios fueron fundamentales para el desarrollo de esta tesis. Agradezco también al Dr. Grabriel Quiroz, quien como profesor durante mi último año en la Licenciatura en Traducción en la Universidad de Antioquia (Medellín, Colombia) despertó mi interés por la informática aplicada a la traducción. De igual manera, agradezco a mis estudiantes de Traducción Asistida por Computador en la misma universidad por interesarse en el software libre y por motivarme a buscar herramientas alternativas que pudiéramos utilizar en clase sin tener que depender de versiones de demostración ni recurrir a la piratería. A mi colega Pedro, que comparte conmigo el interés por la informática aplicada a la traducción y por el software libre, le agradezco la oportunidad de llevar la teoría a la práctica profesional durante todos estos años. Quisiera agradecer a Esperanza, Anna, Verónica y Ewelina, compañeras de aventuras en la UJI, por haber sido mi grupo de apoyo y estar siempre ahí para escucharme en los momentos más difíciles. Mis más sinceros agradecimientos también a María por ser esa voz de aliento y cordura que necesitaba escuchar para seguir adelante y llegar a feliz término con este proyecto.
