The overall goal is to make forms intuitive for users to complete by establishing credibility, making questions and navigation clear, and providing confirmation.
How to be Involved in the Indian Country Counts Campaignebarbad
This document provides an overview of the National Congress of American Indians' (NCAI) Indian Country Counts campaign to promote participation in the 2010 Census among American Indian and Alaska Native communities. The campaign aims to address historical undercounting of tribal populations and emphasize that accurate census data is important for tribal representation and allocation of resources. Key elements of the campaign include developing messaging around tribal pride and data confidentiality, providing educational materials and promotional items to tribes, and encouraging community engagement through a pledge program, webinars, and a student art competition. Tribes and individuals are urged to get involved by signing the online pledge, requesting materials, and planning local outreach events ahead of Census Day on April 1, 2010.

The document describes efforts to improve engagement with a publication on Scottish transport statistics. Key aims were to make key points clearer, more visually appealing, and memorable with "at-a-glance" summaries. Stakeholders provided feedback and mockups were produced. Infographics were created in Inkscape and PowerPoint. Feedback was incorporated throughout the process. The final outputs included 13 infographic chapter summaries, a revised summary chapter, and an interactive Excel tool. Feedback on the changes has been positive, with increased accessibility and impact.
This document discusses the different justifications for sentencing and imprisonment in the criminal justice system in England and Wales. It outlines five traditional models of sentencing: retribution, deterrence, rehabilitation, incapacitation, and restoration. While the 1991 Criminal Justice Act prioritized the retribution model, the 2003 Act stated that courts must consider punishment, crime reduction, rehabilitation, public protection, and reparation. The document examines how effective imprisonment is in achieving the goals of each sentencing model and raises questions about whether alternatives may better accomplish the purposes of the criminal justice system at a lower cost.
Prison is extremely costly, with the average annual cost being £38,000 per prisoner. The UK has the highest imprisonment rate in Europe and the prison population continues to rise, requiring more prison construction. Many prisoners face problems with drugs, alcohol, low education levels and lack of job qualifications. Over 60% of prisoners reoffend within 2 years of release. Prison may not be achieving its aims of deterring crime, punishing criminals, rehabilitating criminals or keeping society safe. There are questions around whether prison is the most effective solution and if it sometimes functions to further educate criminals rather than rehabilitate them. The high reoffending rates are also problematic for victims and communities.
The document discusses the culture of prisons in Michigan. It describes how each prison forms its own class system with unequal access to resources and power. Prison culture has its own language, customs, and taboos. Tattoos and hand signs are used to identify gang affiliations. The culture is learned and spread through the criminal subcultures that prisoners are a part of both inside and outside of prison. Acculturation without actual contact to the cultures being imitated leads to the formation of maladaptive customs. Understanding this criminal culture is key to rehabilitation and reducing recidivism.
The document discusses several key issues regarding prisons in the UK and Scotland. It notes that prison populations and overcrowding are at record highs, while reoffending rates remain high. It questions why prison numbers have increased while reported crime has decreased. Some of the main purposes of incarceration debated include retribution, deterrence, rehabilitation, and incapacitation. Alternative approaches like restorative justice are also discussed. Key issues examined include the effectiveness of prisons for young offenders, women, those with substance abuse or mental health problems, and marginalized groups.
The document describes a prisoner management system created using Java. It includes UML diagrams like use case, class, activity, and sequence diagrams that were used to design the database and system. The system allows a warden to add, delete, search for, update, and display prisoner records. It also provides prisoner functions like adding, deleting, finding, and releasing prisoners. The source code for the classes and database connection is provided along with sample outputs.

10 Things Everyone Needs to Have on Their Website (and Where Everything Shoul...Henri Makembe
In 2010, we’ve passed the tipping point where every political & issue advocacy campaign realizes that they cannot operate effectively without a website. However, in so many cases, the result is a poorly executed website — created for the sake of having a website. Come and learn the ten things that your campaign’s website needs to have, so that your website is an integral means towards achieving your end-goal. Whether it’s raising money, passing legislation, changing public opinion or being elected, you need the ten things that we will discuss to be successful.
The document outlines 10 essential things that every website should have, including:
1) A well-organized information architecture on a stable platform
2) Clear mission, narrative and branding
3) Integration with offline messaging and organizational goals
It then discusses the importance of things like having an email signup, optimized donation page, frequently updated content, interactivity, proper "daisy chains" of actions to ask visitors to take, basic SEO, and data tracking/analytics.
The document outlines the three step process for peer editing:
1. The first step is to provide compliments on the strengths and positives of the work.
2. The second step is to give suggestive feedback by being specific, brief, and constructive.
3. The third step is to identify spelling, grammar, and punctuation errors by using editing marks. The document provides examples and guidelines for each step of the peer editing process.
Logical framework analysis (LFA) is a tool used to plan, manage, and evaluate development projects. It presents information about a project's key components in a clear and logical table format. The LFA summarizes a project's goals, objectives, outputs, activities, inputs, and assumptions. It also includes measurable indicators and means of verification to monitor progress towards objectives. Developing an LFA requires identifying objectives, outputs, and activities, then determining how progress will be measured through indicators and sources of verification. It also involves considering external factors that could influence the project through assumptions.

The document provides instructions for a student to research a topic using the SIRS Researcher database. The student is directed to select a topic, review the topic overview, summarize the overview in 2-3 sentences, define 2 significant terms, identify an interesting essential question, summarize the At Issue section, identify a pro and con article, briefly explain a pro and con position, and review the timeline and statistics for the issue. Finally, the student is asked to answer the essential question they identified and support their answer with 3 pieces of information found during their research.
How information systems are built or acquired puts information, which is what they should be about, in a secondary place. Our language adapted accordingly, and we no longer talk about information systems but applications. Applications evolved in a way to break data into diverse fragments, tightly coupled with applications and expensive to integrate. The result is technical debt, which is re-paid by taking even bigger "loans", resulting in an ever-increasing technical debt. Software engineering and procurement practices work in sync with market forces to maintain this trend. This talk demonstrates how natural this situation is. The question is: can something be done to reverse the trend?

Introduction of Cybersecurity with OSS at Code Europe 2024Hiroshi SHIBATA
I develop the Ruby programming language, RubyGems, and Bundler, which are package managers for Ruby. Today, I will introduce how to enhance the security of your application using open-source software (OSS) examples from Ruby and RubyGems.
The first topic is CVE (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures). I have published CVEs many times. But what exactly is a CVE? I'll provide a basic understanding of CVEs and explain how to detect and handle vulnerabilities in OSS.
Next, let's discuss package managers. Package managers play a critical role in the OSS ecosystem. I'll explain how to manage library dependencies in your application.
I'll share insights into how the Ruby and RubyGems core team works to keep our ecosystem safe. By the end of this talk, you'll have a better understanding of how to safeguard your code.
Dandelion Hashtable: beyond billion requests per second on a commodity serverAntonios Katsarakis
This slide deck presents DLHT, a concurrent in-memory hashtable. Despite efforts to optimize hashtables, that go as far as sacrificing core functionality, state-of-the-art designs still incur multiple memory accesses per request and block request processing in three cases. First, most hashtables block while waiting for data to be retrieved from memory. Second, open-addressing designs, which represent the current state-of-the-art, either cannot free index slots on deletes or must block all requests to do so. Third, index resizes block every request until all objects are copied to the new index. Defying folklore wisdom, DLHT forgoes open-addressing and adopts a fully-featured and memory-aware closed-addressing design based on bounded cache-line-chaining. This design offers lock-free index operations and deletes that free slots instantly, (2) completes most requests with a single memory access, (3) utilizes software prefetching to hide memory latencies, and (4) employs a novel non-blocking and parallel resizing. In a commodity server and a memory-resident workload, DLHT surpasses 1.6B requests per second and provides 3.5x (12x) the throughput of the state-of-the-art closed-addressing (open-addressing) resizable hashtable on Gets (Deletes).
Generating privacy-protected synthetic data using Secludy and MilvusZilliz
During this demo, the founders of Secludy will demonstrate how their system utilizes Milvus to store and manipulate embeddings for generating privacy-protected synthetic data. Their approach not only maintains the confidentiality of the original data but also enhances the utility and scalability of LLMs under privacy constraints. Attendees, including machine learning engineers, data scientists, and data managers, will witness first-hand how Secludy's integration with Milvus empowers organizations to harness the power of LLMs securely and efficiently.
