Change the font to Century Schoolbook.
Change the font size to 72 pt.
Change the text fill color by applying the Radial Gradient - Accent 5 preset gradient fill color (5th column, 5th row of the Preset gradient gallery). (Hint: Display the Text Options tab in the Format Shape task pane.)

Week 3 - News Story
Seeing is Believing
While we can easily become engaged in a print news story that is well-written and tailored for a specific audience, the ability of television to “show us” the news is something that has given it the edge over print news media for decades. Traditional radio also provides us with the “storytelling” aspect where we may find ourselves sitting in the car hanging on to every word of a great news story. This week, you will write a broadcast script for a television news story and for a radio news story. The television script and the radio script will both be designed for the delivery of a story that is 5 minutes in length.
Topic and Sources of Information:
The issue that you choose to write about must be current and have some relevance for your local community, city, and/or state. You must derive the information for this story from
print media only
. You will need to read several print publications for mention of the story and take notes of the facts of the story from several national publications.
For this assignment you must:
Adhere to the
Broadcast Script Template
Summarize facts and/or statistics that are relevant to the story
Develop the story for the local audience
Compare two opposing opinions about the topic
Provide proper attribution for all sources of information included (facts, statistics, images/video, and opinions).
Incorporate at least three visual elements to enhance the television story
Incorporate at least three indirect quotes (citing other sources) to enhance the radio story
A list of each of the sources must be included using the
Media News Source Template
Saving Your Work:
To maintain the formatting of your work, you are strongly encouraged to save your assignment as a PDF file. View
Saving a Word Document as a PDF
for steps on how to do this.

Your print news stories must be submitted through Grammarly and Turnitin prior to submission.

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

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).

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

zkStudyClub - Reef: Fast Succinct Non-Interactive Zero-Knowledge Regex ProofsAlex Pruden
This paper presents Reef, a system for generating publicly verifiable succinct non-interactive zero-knowledge proofs that a committed document matches or does not match a regular expression. We describe applications such as proving the strength of passwords, the provenance of email despite redactions, the validity of oblivious DNS queries, and the existence of mutations in DNA. Reef supports the Perl Compatible Regular Expression syntax, including wildcards, alternation, ranges, capture groups, Kleene star, negations, and lookarounds. Reef introduces a new type of automata, Skipping Alternating Finite Automata (SAFA), that skips irrelevant parts of a document when producing proofs without undermining soundness, and instantiates SAFA with a lookup argument. Our experimental evaluation confirms that Reef can generate proofs for documents with 32M characters; the proofs are small and cheap to verify (under a second).

Chapter 6 introduced the basic design elements and formatting techniques used in creating a newsletter. In this chapter, you will learn about additional design elements to include in a newsletter, as well as new ways to format the content of a newsletter to maximize its impact on the intended audience.
You may navigate through this presentation while in Slide Show view. Click on a topic in this slide to advance directly to the related topic slide. To return to this slide, click the Contents button located in the bottom right corner of each slide. Alternatively, you may choose to advance through the presentation one slide at a time by clicking the Next button, which appears as a right-pointing arrow in the bottom right corner of each slide. Go back a slide by clicking the Previous button, which appears as a left-pointing arrow in the bottom right corner of each slide.
As illustrated in Figure 7.1 in this slide, visual elements such as a table of contents, kicker, and sidebar can be used as focal points to draw the reader into the content of the newsletter. Other design elements such as headlines, subheads, ruled lines, jump lines, and end signs can be used to indicate the directional flow of information in the document, and still others, such as page borders and pull quotes, can be used to provide balance, proportion, and contrast in a newsletter. All of these elements, if used in a consistent format and manner, can create unity within a single newsletter and among different issues of a newsletter.
Using the columns feature may seem like the simplest choice, especially when laying out a newsletter similar to those created in Chapter 6. However, placing text within text boxes or tables can allow you to more easily change the position or dimensions of an article, as is often required when trying to arrange elements in a newsletter. Another benefit to using text boxes is that they can be linked to one another, a feature you will learn more about later in this chapter.
In a table, text will wrap around a graphic or text box inserted in a cell, whereas text will not wrap around elements, such as shapes and additional text boxes, if the original text is also contained within a text box. Compared with text boxes, however, tables are not as easy to position, and they may produce unpredictable results if you try to insert a text box within the table.
While creating your own newsletter template gives you more control over the design and layout of the document, it can be a time-consuming process. Note that the number of available newsletter templates may vary, because new ones are occasionally added to the collection.
When you preview the Office.com templates in Word, you will find that most of them use linked text boxes as their underlying structure. The newsletter templates are also formatted using styles to reinforce consistency. In addition, the basic design and colors used in each newsletter stay consistent from page to page.
A predesigned header or footer can be inserted in a document or you can create your own header or footer from scratch.
Because a header or footer is commonly repeated on every page (starting with the second page), it provides the perfect place to reinforce the identity of a company or organization.
To create a different header or footer on the first page of a multiple-page document, position the insertion point anywhere in the header or footer on the first page and then click the Different First Page check box in the Options group on the HEADER & FOOTER TOOLS DESIGN tab to insert a check mark. The Header pane on the first page will be labeled First Page Header, and the Footer pane on the first page will be labeled First Page Footer. If you do not want a header or footer on the first page, leave the First Page Header and First Page Footer panes blank. If you do want a header or footer on the first page, type the text for the header or footer and then click the Next button in the Navigation group to move to the Header or Footer pane to the second page of the document. (Click the Previous button if you need to edit the first page header or footer after moving to the second page.) Type the text you want to include in the header or footer for all other pages in the document.
Use the Go to Header or Go to Footer button in the Navigation group to move back and forth between the Header and Footer panes. When you are finished creating and editing headers and footers, click the Close Header and Footer button in the Close group.
To create different odd and even page headers and footers, insert a check mark in the Different Odd & Even Pages check box in the Options group on the HEADER & FOOTER TOOLS DESIGN tab. Remember to keep the formatting consistent for both the odd and even page headers and footers.
If you want a header or footer to print in only a specific section and not on pages in the previous sections, you must turn off the Link to Previous feature. This tells Word that the new header or footer only applies to this section and not to any previous sections. Break a section link by clicking the Link to Previous button in the Navigation group on the HEADER & FOOTER TOOLS DESIGN tab.
To save a header as a building block, select the header, click the Header button on the HEADER & FOOTER TOOLS DESIGN tab, and then click Save Selection to Header Gallery at the drop-down list. At the Create New Building Block dialog box, type a name for the header in the Name text box and then click OK. Complete similar steps to save a footer in the Footer gallery. A header you save to the Header gallery is available at the Header button drop-down list or at the Building Blocks Organizer dialog box. A footer you save to the Footer gallery is available at the Footer button drop-down list or at the Building Blocks Organizer dialog box.
Spot color can be applied to such elements as ruled lines, graphic images, borders, background fill, headings, special characters, and end signs, as shown in Figure 7.5A in this slide. You can also apply spot color to the background of a text box or to a drop cap. If your logo or organizational seal contains a particular color, you may choose to use that color as a unifying element throughout your publication. Refer to Figure 7.5 to see how spot color can add to the visual appeal of a publication.
Make sure to use spot color sparingly. Just as an all black-and-white page may appear gray, using too much spot color can change the whole “color” of the document and detract from any emphasis or contrast that using the spot color created. Using spot color can make a black-and-white publication look brighter and more appealing, but keep in mind that using color always adds to the cost of printing. Be sure to price out the cost of color printing during the planning stages of your project.
For most images, this will make it possible for you to select and apply color to each part of the image individually.
Some image formats, such as bitmap (.bmp), will not allow you to ungroup the image. After you click the Set Transparent Color option, click the desired area of the image to make it transparent, as shown in Figure 7.6B in this slide. With the image selected, apply the new color by clicking the Shading button in the Paragraph group on the HOME tab and then clicking the desired color, as shown in Figure 7.6C in this slide. To make more sophisticated changes to a bitmap image, use a photo-editing program.
In Word, sidebars can easily be created by drawing a text box or by inserting predesigned text boxes from the Text Box button drop-down list in the Text group on the INSERT tab.
The table of contents should stand out from the surrounding information and be legible and easy to follow.
Figure 7.9 in this slide shows a few examples of tables of contents in newsletters.
A table of contents is usually located on the front page of a newsletter. It is often placed in the lower left or right corner of the page. It can, however, be placed closer to the top of the page—on either side of, or even within, an asymmetrically designed nameplate. If a newsletter is designed to be a self-mailer (no envelope), the table of contents can be placed near the mailing address so the reader is invited into the newsletter before he or she even opens it.
Effective pull quotes are interesting, brief, and formatted to stand out from the rest of the body copy.
Edit any direct quotes so they will not be taken out of context when read individually as a pull quote.
Use the same format for all pull quotes throughout the newsletter and throughout future issues of the same newsletter.
In Slide Show view, click the Answer button after you believe that you know the correct answer to Question (1). The correct answer will be displayed. Click the Next Question button and Question (2) will appear. Repeat these steps for the remaining questions. When you have clicked the Answer button for Question (4), the Next Slide button will appear. Click this button to advance to the next slide.
A kicker is often stylistically distinct from both the headline and the body text. Kickers can be placed above or below the headline or article heading.
End signs are usually set in an accent color used elsewhere in the newsletter, which helps contribute to the unified appearance of the publication.
Featuring the beginning of several articles on the front page of a newsletter increases the chance of attracting readers. Also, some articles may be too lengthy to fit on one page, so it is necessary to continue them on another page. This can be hard to manage when you set the body text of your newsletter in columns or a table, but it is easy when you use text boxes, due to the text box linking feature in Word.
You can establish as many chains of linked text boxes in a document as you need. For example, you can create one chain of linked text boxes for an article that begins on page 1 and then continues on pages 3 and 4. For a different article that begins on page 2 and continues on page 4 of the same newsletter, you can create another chain of linked text boxes.
To link text boxes, you must first create two or more text boxes. For example, if you have an article that begins on page 1 and is to be continued on page 2 of a newsletter, create a text box on page 1 and then create another text box on page 2. Size the text boxes to fit within the allotted column width and then position the text boxes as desired. If necessary, you can readjust the size and position later, after the text has been added.
To create a link from the second text box to a third text box, select the second text box and then repeat Steps 2–4. Repeat these steps to add more links to the chain. To break the chain of linked text boxes, click in the text box that precedes the text box to which you want to break the link and then click the Break Link button in the Text group on the DRAWING TOOLS FORMAT tab.
When you position the mouse pitcher over the text box to be linked, the pitcher appears tipped with letters spilling out of it when it is over a text box that can receive the link, as shown in Figure 7.13 in this slide. Click once to complete the link.
A jump line is commonly set in small italic type, approximately 2 points smaller than the body text. Jump lines can also be enclosed in parentheses.
One important factor to keep in mind is that you must get permission to use artwork, photos, or illustrations before you can legally scan them. You must also get permission to use artwork from the Web, even if you do not see the traditional copyright symbol. You can type the keywords free graphics or free clip art into a search engine to find a large selection of graphics that you are free to use. When you purchase clip art and stock photography, you generally buy the right to use it and even modify it, but you may not resell the images themselves as hard copy or computer images. When purchasing these items, read the copyright information provided in the accompanying documentation.
If you want to include an image that you only have in hard copy (such as an old photograph, a map, or a hand-drawn diagram) and no scanner is available, you can print your newsletter, tape or glue the image into the area reserved by the text box, and have a commercial printer duplicate your newsletter.
Think of all the times you have picked up a newspaper or magazine, looked at a photograph, and immediately read the accompanying explanation.
As always, legibility is key. Keep captions as short as possible, and focus on explaining the things that readers will immediately see and wonder about. Make sure to write and format your captions in a consistent manner throughout your document.
Adding a descriptive caption to an image quickly gives your reader an idea of what it is about, as shown in Figure 7.15 in this slide. A well-written caption can entice your reader to read the corresponding article and maybe even the rest of the newsletter.
To do this, select the image and then click the Insert Caption button in the Captions group on the REFERENCES tab, or right-click the image and then click Insert Caption at the shortcut menu. This will display the Caption dialog box, where you can adjust several different settings for the caption, as shown in Figure 7.16 in this slide.
When you display the Caption dialog box for the first time in a document, you will notice that the text Figure 1 has already been inserted in the Caption text box. The caption feature automatically numbers the figures in a document for you. You can change the type of label (Figure, Table, etc.), the style of numbering, and the position of the caption. You can add a title, description, or other text in the Caption box. You can also add or edit the caption text in the text box that appears near the image after you close the Caption dialog box.
If the images in your newsletter do not need to be labeled, you can create captions without labels by clicking the Exclude labels from caption check box in the Caption dialog box to insert a check mark.
Another option is to create a caption from scratch. To do this, simply insert a text box, type the desired caption text, and then size and position the text box near the image as desired. This option is best used in documents that contain only a few images, because it can be much more time consuming than using the captions feature.
A masthead usually contains the following items (see Figure 7.18 in this slide):
• Name and address of the company or organization producing the newsletter
• Newsletter publication schedule, such as weekly, monthly, or biannually
• Names of those contributing to the production of the newsletter, such as editors, authors, and graphic designers
• Copyright information
The masthead may also contain a small logo, seal, or other graphic identifier. Although a masthead is commonly located on the back page of a newsletter, you will sometimes find it on the first page. Wherever you decide to place the masthead, be consistent from issue to issue in the masthead design, layout, and location.
There are many methods you can use to copyfit a newsletter, depending on the challenges you encounter.
Adjustments are less noticeable when completed uniformly. Also, small adjustments can often make a big difference. For instance, rather than reducing type size by a whole point, try reducing it by 0.25 or 0.5 point.
Be consistent when making any copyfitting adjustments. For example, if you increase the white space after one headline, increase the white space after all headlines. Alternatively, if you decrease the type size of the body text in an article, decrease the type size of body text in all articles.
Imagine that you are the owner of a small business and would like to inform your customers of new products, upcoming sales or special promotions, and articles that may be of interest to them. You are thinking of preparing a monthly newsletter; however, you do not want the added expense of printing and mailing the newsletter.
Save a Word document in PDF format by clicking the FILE tab, clicking the Export option, clicking the Create PDF/XPS button, making sure PDF (*.pdf ) displays in the Save as type option box at the Publish as PDF or XPS dialog box, and then clicking the Publish button.
If the newsletter is formatted in a table, the structure of the newsletter will stay in place when it is viewed on the Web.
To save a newsletter in HTML, click the FILE tab and then click the Export option. At the Export backstage area, click the Change File Type option, click the Single File Web Page (*.mht, *.mhtml) option, and then click the Save As button, as shown in Figure 7.21 in this slide.
At the Save As dialog box, type the file name and then specify where you want to save the document. Click the Change Title button, type a page title, which will display in the title bar of the browser, at the Enter Text dialog box, and then click OK. Click the Save button at the Save As dialog box and, if necessary, click the Continue button at the Microsoft Word Compatibility Checker.
To view the newsletter in a web browser, add the Web Page Preview button to the Quick Access toolbar. Begin by clicking the Customize Quick Access Toolbar button at the right of the Quick Access toolbar and then clicking the More Commands option at the drop-down list. At the Word Options dialog box with the Quick Access Toolbar option selected, click the down-pointing arrow at the right of the Choose commands from option box, click All Commands, scroll down and click the Web Page Preview option from the list, click the Add button, and then click OK, as shown in Figure 7.22 in this slide. Open the newsletter in Word and then click the Web Page Preview button to view the document as it would display on a web page in your chosen browser. Depending on the formatting applied to the newsletter in Word, the newsletter elements may not appear in the same location when saved in Single File Web Page format.
