11/30/09 4-5 p.m. LRC Lounge Student Workshop: Reading Strategies for L2s Examine the mental processes involved in successful reading, and explore both low-tech and high-tech strategies for improving your reading skills in your second language(s). General Strategies • Don’t lose the forest for the trees. • Reflect on reading in stronger languages; generalize strategies to L2s. • Build fluency and decoding skills: o Repeated oral reading. o Read extensively at a comfortable level. • Play off your language and learning strengths. • Read (and think) actively. • Organize your thoughts. “High-Tech” Tools for Reading Reading Websites • Word Champ Web Reader: http://www.wordchamp.com Reading and Annotating PDFs • Acrobat Reader v 9 offers the option of adding markup and comments to a PDF file if and only if the original PDF was saved in Acrobat Pro with comments enabled. Then Reader provides a bar of comment tools. • PDFVue allows you to upload a PDF file, annotate online and then download or save a link: http://www.pdfvue.com/ • Windows only: PDF XChange viewer on the PC is freeware that will allow you to alter and annotate PDFs: http://www.docu-track.com/home/prod_user/PDF-XChange_Tools/pdfx_viewer • Mac only: Preview allows you to open, annotate and save PDF files. There are also other free software available, such as “Skim.” • On iPod Touch/iPhone, try “Aji Annotate” (not free, but only $5). Free Concept Map Software • CmapTools: http://cmap.ihmc.us/ • VUE (Visual Understanding Environment): http://vue.tufts.edu/ Screen Readers or “Text-to-Speech” Software MHC Language Resource Center Spring 2009 11/30/09 4-5 p.m. LRC Lounge You have two sides, one out in the field and one in. Each man that's in the side that's in goes out, and when he's out he comes in and the next man goes in until he's out. When they are all out, the side that's out comes in and the side that's been in goes out and tries to get those coming in, out. Sometimes you get men still in and not out. When a man goes out to go in, the men who are out try to get him out, and when he is out he goes in and the next man in goes out and goes in. There are two men called umpires who stay all out the time and they decide when the men who are in are out. When both sides have been in and all the men have been given out, and both sides have been out twice after all the men have been in, including those who are not out, that is the end of the game!

Vulnerability Report Attacks Bypassing Confidentiality in Encrypted PDF
Vulnerability Report Attacks bypassing confidentiality in encrypted PDF Jens Müller1, Fabian Ising2, Vladislav Mladenov1, Christian Mainka1, Sebastian Schinzel2, JörgSchwenk1 May 16, 2019 1Chair for Network and Data Security 2FH MünsterUniversity of Applied Sciences Abstract In this report, we analyze PDF encryption and show two novel techniques for breaking the confidentiality of encrypted documents. Firstly, we abuse the PDF feature of partially encrypted documents to wrap the encrypted part of the document within attacker-controlled content and therefore, exfiltrate the plaintext once the document is opened by a legitimate user. Secondly, we abuse a flaw in the PDF encryption specification allowing an attacker to arbitrarily manipulate encrypted content without knowing the cor- responding key/password. The only requirement is one single block of known plaintext, which we show is fulfilled by design. By using exfiltration channels our attacks allow the recovery of the entire plaintext or parts of it within an encrypted document. The attacks rely only on standard compliant PDF features. We evaluated our attacks on 27 widely used PDF viewers and found all of them vulnerable. 1 Contents 1 Background4 1.1 Portable Document Format (PDF) . .4 1.2 PDF Encryption . .6 1.3 PDF Interactive Features . .7 2 Attacker Model8 3 PDF Encryption: Security Analysis9 3.1 Partial Encryption . .9 3.2 CBC Malleability . 10 3.3 PDF Interactive Features . 12 4 How To Break PDF Encryption 14 4.1 Direct Exfiltration (Attack A) . 14 4.1.1 Requirements . 15 4.1.2 Direct Exfiltration through PDF Forms (A1) . 15 4.1.3 Direct Exfiltration via Hyperlinks (A2) .

1 Annotated Bibliography, and Summaries I. Annotating Text II. Annotating Media III. Annotation Theory and Practice IV. Group Dynamics and Social Annotation V. Bibliographic Reference/Metadata/Tagging Note to Reader: The categories of this bibliography have been separated into ‘Tools’ and ‘Articles’ for ease of reading. Cross-posted entries have been marked with an asterisk (*) after their first appearance. Category I: Annotating Text This category provides an environmental scan of the current state of text-based annotation practices and the foundational tools in the discipline. Many of the publications focus on situating annotation in the field of digital humanities by drafting definitions for annotation practice; specifying a general annotation framework for commentary across mediums; or brainstorming platforms that would better support user interaction with objects and with each other. Authors remark that the evolution of scholarship brought about by interactive Web 2.0 practices shifted the focus from learner-content interaction to learner-learner interaction, and that this behavioural shift necessitates a redesign of tools (Agosti et al. 2005; Gao 2013). It is widely acknowledged that annotation practices are beneficial for learning, archiving, clarifying, sharing, and expanding; current Web architecture, however, struggles to facilitate these advantages (Agosti et al. 2012; Bottoni 2003; Farzan et al. 2008). Several publications introduce tools that bridge the gap between tool design and user needs, specifically AnnotatEd and CommentPress (Farzan et al. 2008; Fitzpatrick 2007). These tools, along with alternative platforms that gamify annotation, allow for interactive reading and support user engagement with resources in a customizable way. The tools treat documents as mutable objects that can be tagged, highlighted, and underlined.

THE VALUE OF PLURALITY IN ‘THE NETWORK WITH A THOUSAND ENTRANCES’1 RAY SIEMENS, ALYSSA ARBUCKLE, LINDSEY SEATTER, RANDA EL KHATIB, and TRACEY EL HAJJ, with the ETCL Research Group Abstract This contribution reﬂects on the value of plurality in the ‘network with a thousand entrances’ suggested by McCarty (http://goo.gl/H3HAfs), and others, in association with approaching time-honoured annotative and commentary practices of much-engaged texts. The question is how this approach aligns with tensions, today, surrounding the multiplicity of endeavour associated with modeling practices of annotation by practitioners of the digital humanities. Our work, hence, surveys annotative practice across its reﬂection in contemporary praxis, from the MIT annotation studio whitepaper (http://goo.gl/8NBdnf) through the work of the Open Annotation Collaboration (http://www.openannotation.org), and manifest in multiple tools facilitating annotation across the web up to and including widespread application in social knowledge creation suites like Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web annotation) Keywords: annotative practices, semantic web practices, reader-reader interaction, annotation tools, social annotation, folksonomy, content modelling, process modelling Annotation is one of the important ‘primitive’ activities that scholars in many disciplines employ when they pursue a topic of interest [Unsworth 2000]. As more and more of the scholarly process has been enhanced by, International Journal of Humanities and Arts Computing 11.2 (2017): 153–173 DOI: 10.3366/ijhac.2017.0190 © Edinburgh University Press 2017 www.euppublishing.com/ijhac 153 Ray Siemens et al. and in some cases migrated to, digital formats the need to create tools that permit scholars to enjoy the same broad range of primitive activities that they do with physical formats has become evident.

Front Cover and Feedback images were created using Photofunia Welcome to Issue 3 of The MagPi, a community led magazine keeping you up to date with all things Raspberry Pi. This month has seen the team working hard searching and testing 9000 stable Debian packages, and identifying over 150 games and 43 apps to try out on your Pi. Meltwater introduces his article ‘Meeting Pi’, offering ideas and tips on introducing the Raspberry Pi to users of very young ages. We feature an article on low level programming using C and Alex Kerr has produced his article ‘Programming fundamentals’ describing how to use variables, ‘If’ statements and loops. Bodge N Hackitt continues his series, explaining how to program the USB robotic arm using Python. Darren teaches us more on interfacing with the Pi, plus more from the reader’s favourites Command line, Scratch Patch and the Python Pit. An email that caught my eye this month was from CaytonJohn, aged 7, reading up on the first edition of the MagPi. Could this be our youngest reader?
