Here at ProfHacker, we’ve written here previously about the collaborative online annotation tool Hypothes.is and about the Open Library of the Humanities, and we have long been proponents of Open Access resources. A few weeks ago, OLH co-founder Martin Eve introduced a new tool, called Annotran. It’s part of the mission of OLH to provide Open Access and accessible scholarly materials, but, as Eve points out:
However, the paywall barrier is only one dimension of closed access. If you are a monolingual reader, much scholarly material may be inaccessible in your first language. By building technologies that allow people to translate between themselves, we make the first step towards a fresh scholarly communications paradigm that focuses on communication, rather than just on accreditation. Of course, there is still much to do: without incentives we would not expect huge uptake of translation authorship. However, Annotran represents a positive initial move.
Annotran is built off of the open source Hypothes.is annotation platform. It’s a browser plugin that allows users to go in and collaboratively translate texts into a variety of languages, much like Hypothes.is allows users to collaboratively annotate a text. Translators can choose a text to translate, while readers can choose a language to read the text in once it is available. It’s as easy to use and install as Hypothes.is, which is a real strength.
The tools allows for the translated language to live on top of the text, so when I user selects a language, you see the target language, and can access the original language by hovering your mouse over the text. You can also restrict your translations to private groups, which could represent a way to use the tool in teaching, as well as evaluate the quality of the translations.
I would have appreciated having this tool when I was teaching literature in translation where we had access to the book, but not a lot of scholarship related to said work, or the scholarship in English wasn’t a reflection of how the work was viewed or received in the original language and culture. Even just having one article, translated, would have been a valuable resource for me, my students, and other instructors who found themselves in a similar situation (all seven of us who teach Québécois literature in translation).
But more importantly, this is another way to share and disseminate not only research, but any web-based textually based resource.
The tool is open source and you can find it on GitHub, and Eve made a great introductory video on the tool.

Eve cautions that the tool is still in Beta so might still have some bugs. He does invite feedback, however, and hopes that more people play with it and use it.
Will you try Annotran? How do you see using it in a classroom setting? How else can you see this tool improving access?

The system uses a technology called mesh Wi-Fi (something usually only seen in expensive commercial installations). Within our mesh network, each Google Wifi point creates a high-powered connection, and the different points work together to determine the best path for your data. The result is fast Wi-Fi everywhere in your house, not just right next to the router.
Most of us don’t want to spend time tweaking complex settings or managing our Wi-Fi network. Google Wifi comes with Network Assist technology, which works behind the scenes to keep your Wi-Fi fast so you don’t have to figure out how to adjust your router. Network Assist automatically places you on the clearest channel and optimal Wi-Fi band for your device. And as you roam around your house, Network Assist will seamlessly transition your device between the Google Wifi system points in real time, so you avoid dead spots or delays.
For those times when you do want more control over your network, Google Wifi makes it simple through a companion app, available on Android or iOS. The app lets you do things like pause Wi-Fi on kids’ devices (like when it’s time to come to the dinner table). It also shows you which devices are connected and how much bandwidth they’re using and lets you prioritize devices within your network so you can stream that latest episode uninterrupted. Google Wifi was designed with user privacy as a top priority. For example, it has settings for easily controlling cloud management and industry-leading security features such as wireless encryption, verified boot, and auto updates to keep your network safe and secure.

A Lava Jato e a importância da cooperação internacional para o combate ao crime foram temas de destaque em pronunciamentos de membros do Ministério Público Federal (MPF) durante a 21ª Conferência Anual da Associação Internacional de Procuradores (IAP), realizada em Dublin, na Irlanda. O órgão foi representado por seu secretário de cooperação internacional, procurador regional da República Vladimir Aras, e pelo coordenador jurídico do grupo de trabalho da Procuradoria-Geral da República que atua na Lava Jato, procurador regional Douglas Fischer.
Em pronunciamento, Fischer destacou a independência dos investigadores e a importância da cooperação direta na busca de combater a criminalidade com maior eficiência. “A soberania dos estados deve ser respeitada, mas alguns tipos de crimes não possuem fronteiras nacionais”, afirmou ao falar de lavagem de dinheiro, organizações criminosas, corrupção, tráfico de armas, de drogas e de pessoas, terrorismo, pedofilia e crimes cibernéticos. “Precisamos juntar nossas forças, não as dividir. Temos que ampliar nossos horizontes para, com segurança e legalidade, produzir evidências fortes e firmes”, concluiu.
Ao apresentar informações sobre a Lava Jato, Douglas Fischer apontou dois aspectos que revelam a importância da cooperação internacional no combate à corrupção. Primeiramente o fato de grande parte do dinheiro lavado ter sido enviado ao exterior, por meio de depósitos em offshores. O segundo ponto é o armazenamento de informações e documentos em servidores de internet de outros países. “Precisamos fortalecer relações de cooperação e de confiança, mostrando a seriedade das nossas atuações”, afirmou.
A Lava Jato também foi tema central no workshop ministrado por Vladimir Aras no evento. Na ocasião, o secretário de cooperação internacional apontou que os pilares para o sucesso da operação são coordenação, colaboração, cooperação, transparência e treinamento/ferramentas. Um dos reflexos do trabalho desenvolvido foi um recorde de recuperação de ativos em 2015.
Entre 2014 e 2016, foram firmados 70 acordos de cooperação internacional relacionados à Lava Jato. A cooperação entre Brasil e Suíça foi usada como exemplo de sucesso para recuperação de ativos e aprofundamento das investigações, a partir da colaboração e do compartilhamento de informações e procedimentos, bem como a transferência de investigações. Ainda do exemplo suíço, a cooperação permitiu o bloqueio de mais de R$ 800 milhões, sendo que R$ 250 milhões já foram repatriados.
Comitê Executivo — Durante o encontro, o procurador-geral da República, Rodrigo Janot, foi confirmado membro do Comitê Executivo da IAP, passo importante para reforçar e incrementar a cooperação internacional.
