TYPES OF READING
AN OVERVIEW OF READING SKILLS AND STRATEGIES
TWO MAIN READING CATEGORIES
• A – ORAL
• B – SILENT
• 1. SKIMMING
• 2. SCANNING
• 3. INTENSIVE READING
• 4. EXTENSIVE READING
SKIMMING
Skimming is used to quickly gather the most important information, or 'gist'. Run your eyes over the text, noting important information. Use skimming to quickly get up to speed on a current business situation. It's not essential to understand each word when skimming.
EXAMPLES OF SKIMMING
• The Newspaper (quickly to get the general news of the day)
• Magazines (quickly to discover which articles you would like to read in more detail)
• Business and Travel Brochures (quickly to get informed)
SCANNING
Scanning is used to find a particular piece of information. Run your eyes over the text looking for the specific piece of information you need. Use scanning on schedules, meeting plans, etc. in order to find the specific details you require. If you see words or phrases that you don't understand, don't worry when scanning.
EXAMPLES OF SCANNING
• The "What's on TV" section (itinerary) of your newspaper.
• A train / airplane schedule
• A conference guide
EXTENSIVE READING
Extensive reading is used to obtain a general understanding of a subject and includes reading longer texts for pleasure, as well as business books. Use extensive reading skills to improve your general knowledge of business procedures. Do not worry if you understand each word.
EXAMPLES OF EXTENSIVE READING
• The latest marketing strategy book
• A novel you read before going to bed
• Magazine articles that interest you
INTENSIVE READING
Intensive reading is used on shorter texts in order to extract specific information. It includes very close accurate reading for detail. Use intensive reading skills to grasp the details of a specific situation. In this case, it is important that you understand each word, number or fact.
EXAMPLES OF INTENSIVE READING
• A bookkeeping report
• An insurance claim
• A contract
RECAP
• Skimming - Reading rapidly for the main points
• Scanning - Reading rapidly through a text to find specific information required
• Extensive - Reading longer texts, often for pleasure and for an overall understanding
• Intensive - Reading shorter texts for detailed information with an emphasis on precise understanding

This is a ppt I created for Korean students of German language. I used it as a game for groups.
This is an ANIMATED ppt. If you browse through the slides you will not see the animations, but only the final results, including the solutions. Running the ppt with office looks differently!
The difficulty various a lot, in order to allow for a ranking if wanted.
Although the title says "Bilderrätsel", the ppt does not only consists of puzzle PICTURES, but also audio riddles, and others. Have fun. ^^

Captain, Where Is Your Ship – Compromising Vessel Tracking SystemsTrend Micro
A talk given by Kyle Wilhoit and Marco Balduzzi from Trend Micro's Forward Looking Threat Research team, along with independent researcher Alessandro Pasta.
Abstract:
In recent years, automated identification systems (AISes) have been introduced to enhance vessels tracking and provide extra safety to marine traffic, on top of conventional radar installations. AIS, which is currently a mandatory installation for all passenger ships and ships over 300 metric tonnes, works by acquiring GPS coordinates and exchanging vessel’s position, course and information with nearby ships, offshore installation, i.e. harbors and traffic controls, and Internet tracking and visualizing providers.
With an estimated number of 400,000 installation, AIS is currently the best system for collision avoidance, maritime security, aids to navigation and accident investigations.
Given its primary importance in marine traffic safety, we conducted a comprehensive security evaluation of AIS, by tackling it from both a software and a hardware, radio frequency perspective.
In this talk, we share with you our finding, i.e how we have been able to hijack and perform man-in-the-middle attacks on existing vessels, take over AIS communications, tamper with the major online tracking providers and eventually fake our own yacht!.
Quadcopter (uavs) for border security with gui systemeSAT Journals
Abstract The authors are designing the Quad-copter (UAVs) for Border Security with GUI System. Now-a-days the security issues of borders are daily increasing. Terrorist activities, firing, etc. at border are increasing day by day. Monitoring is becoming more difficult due to weather conditions, difficult areas which are out of reach etc and risk of losing life of soldier is also increasing. Designing an unmanned air vehicle which will monitor the border area, difficult location, movie shooting etc from long distance can be a good option. GPS is used to track the position of intruder or our troops or vehicles. This GPS data will be received by ARM9 processor and conveyed to observer or controller via zigbee. The Quad-copter is controlled by observer via the IR remote. Observer will fly the Quad-copter from a distance to area which has to be monitored. The Audio-Visual will be transmitted to PC via Wireless camera mounted on assembly. Also recording will be done. Keywords: Quadcopter, GPS, Zigbee, Wireless camera, IR remote, Battery, ARM9 processor, GUI

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

1. OTOMAT MK2 BLOCK IV
LONG RANGE SHIP-BORNE
ANTI-SHIP MISSILE SYSTEM
SEA
Enhanced version of the all weather OTOMAT MK2 missile system, providing improved
performance in terms of OTHT (Over The Horizon Targeting) and operations in complex
naval scenarios.
Capable of ranges from 6 to 180 km in all directions, the system relies on powerful
mission planning (3D way-points, terminal sea skimming profile, simultaneous attack from
different directions).
Target data is derived from the ship's Command System or taken directly from the ship's
surface search radar. Mission Planning allows the selection of different firing modes
(such as Fire and Forget or midcourse guided) and of specific trajectories and evasive
manoeuvres.
Cruise and approach phases may be either fully inertial or partially guided from the launch
ship through a radio-link. Mid course re-vectoring from a co-operating ship or helicopter
is also possible.
The excellent capabilities of the new missile (short reaction time, Fire and Forget, INS/GPS
navigation, high target selection, ECCM and anti-CIWS manoeuvres, warhead lethality
with no collateral damage) allow the system
to operate effectively in littoral warfare environments, as well as in blue waters.
The terminal attack phase is based upon an autonomous terminal guidance using an
active homing head with improved target selection capabilities in complex scenarios.
The system is in service in 12 countries worldwide, with ships of different class from
hydrofoils up to destroyers and aircraft carriers.
• Proven all weather OTHT
(Over-the- Horizon Targeting) capability
• High operational flexibility
• Suitable for installation on ships of any tonnage
• In service
