Analysis of Possible Excess COVID-19 Deaths in Ireland From Jan 2020 to Jun 2020Alan McSweeney
This analysis seeks to determine if there are excess deaths that occurred in Ireland in the interval Jan – Jun 2020 that can be attributed to COVID-19. Excess deaths means deaths in excess of the number of expected deaths plus the number of deaths directly attributed to COVID-19. On the other hand a deficiency of deaths would occur when the number of expected deaths plus the number of deaths directly attributed to COVID-19 is less than the actual deaths.
This analysis uses number of deaths taken from the web site RIP.ie to generate an estimate of the number of deaths in Jan – Jun 2020 in the absence of any other official source. The last data extract from the RIP.ie web site was taken on 3 Jul 2020.
The analysis uses historical data from RIP.ie from 2018 and 2019 to assess its accuracy as a data source.
The analysis then uses the following three estimation approaches to assess the excess or deficiency of deaths:
1. The pattern of deaths in 2020 can be compared to previous comparable year or years. The additional COVID-19 deaths can be added to the comparable year and the difference between the expected, actual from RIP.ie and actual COVID-19 deaths can be analysed to generate an estimate of any excess or deficiency.
2. The age-specific mortality rates described on page 16 can be applied to estimates of population numbers to generates an estimate of expected deaths. This can be compared to the actual RIP.ie and actual COVID-19 deaths to generate an estimate of any excess or deficiency.
3. The range of death rates per 1,000 of population as described in Figure 10 on page 16 can be applied to estimates of population numbers to generates an estimate of expected deaths. This can be compared to the actual RIP.ie and actual COVID-19 deaths to generate an estimate of any excess or deficiency.
Employment-Based Preference Categories
EB-1 China, EB-1 India, and EB-2 and EB-3 Worldwide. As previously reported, all of these categories are expected to remain current for the foreseeable future.
EB-2 India. Consistent with DOS's predictions, EB-2 India will advance by less than one month for November to October 8, 2008.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!
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.
Why You Should Replace Windows 11 with Nitrux Linux 3.5.0 for enhanced perfor...SOFTTECHHUB
The choice of an operating system plays a pivotal role in shaping our computing experience. For decades, Microsoft's Windows has dominated the market, offering a familiar and widely adopted platform for personal and professional use. However, as technological advancements continue to push the boundaries of innovation, alternative operating systems have emerged, challenging the status quo and offering users a fresh perspective on computing.
One such alternative that has garnered significant attention and acclaim is Nitrux Linux 3.5.0, a sleek, powerful, and user-friendly Linux distribution that promises to redefine the way we interact with our devices. With its focus on performance, security, and customization, Nitrux Linux presents a compelling case for those seeking to break free from the constraints of proprietary software and embrace the freedom and flexibility of open-source computing.

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).

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.

16. Informat ion on Power of Attorney (POA)
General Power of Attorney:
BEFORE MAKING A GENERAL POWER OF ATTORNEY, READ THIS CAUTION:
Making a General Power of Attorney (GPOA) is an important action with serious
consequences. Your GPOA gives someone else the legal authority to act on your behalf
— to do anything that you could do. With a GPOA, your agent can (for example) rent or
buy a house with your money, borrow money that you must repay, sell your car, sue
someone for you, or remove all funds from your bank account. Your agent can legally
bind you. While a GPOA can be very helpful, it can also be very dangerous.
Regarding using a GPOA, consider:
• Limit the power you give away to only that necessary. If you need someone to
perform only specific tasks for you, then you don’t need a GPOA. Get a Special
Power of Attorney — one that will authorize your agent to perform only those
specific tasks. JAG can help you prepare one.
• Limit the duration of your Power of Attorney to no longer than 1 year or a shorter
period. Don’t set the expiration date longer than you will need your agent’s
services, and don’t give the Power of Attorney before it will be needed.
• Make sure your agent is someone you can trust. If you lose trust in your agent,
talk with a legal assistance attorney about revoking your Power of Attorney.
• Don’t hesitate to talk to a legal assistance attorney if you have any questions.
• General POA is not accepted for any military affairs or for bank transactions.
Special Powers of Attorney:
With a ‘special’ Power of Attorney, you can give someone else the authority to:
• Obtain military ID card • Cash income tax refund check
• Withdraw funds from bank account • Purchase/refinance real property
• Pay bills • Clear/accept on-post housing
• Obtain AER loan • Ship household goods
• Sell house • Ship vehicle
• Sell vehicle • Receive household goods
• Use vehicle • Store household goods
• Register vehicle • Store vehicle
• Sign lease/terminate agreement • Remove vehicle from storage
• Enroll dependents in DEERS and • Pick up LES
TRICARE • File household goods claim
• Appoint a guardian • Cash/write checks
• Authorize medical treatment • Start/change/stop allotments
• File taxes • Create a custom POA

18. Final Ideas for Preparing for Deployment:
Resolve family problems before the separation; otherwise, they will be worse at the
reunion.
Express your feelings and encourage others to do the same (“I love you”, “I’ll miss you”,
and "I’m frightened”).
Recognize that anger is OK, but don’t take it out on your spouse or your children.
Plan a family activity or a special family time without distractions.
Work through the “Family Member Checklist" to cut down on potential household
management problems.
Set personal goals to meet during the deployment.
Attend the unit pre-deployment briefings.
Helping Children Cope with Deployment:
Spend time explaining at the child’s level -- Why? Where? With whom? How long will
the parent be gone?
Sit down with the whole family and talk about feelings, what will happen when the
parent is gone, and how it will be different when the parent returns.
Let children share their feelings about previous deployments
The departing parent should spend time individually with each child-just the two of them.
Take a picture of each child with the parent.
Have the departing parent prepare a video for the children to watch during his/her
absence.
• Reading bedtime stories
• Following the departing parent on a ‘day in the life’ before deployment
• Playing with the children, preparing a meal, giving the children a bath – the
‘normal’ things that parent does around the house
• Giving a special message to each child
Consider enrolling youth in activities; scouts, bowling, arts and crafts classes, youth
sports, tours, etc., are all good choices.
