The document discusses the problem of mass incarceration in the United States, with the highest incarceration rate and total prison population in the world. It notes that over 7 million Americans were in the criminal justice system in 2008, with 1 in every 31 adults and 1 in 9 black men aged 20-34 incarcerated or on probation/parole. It then discusses an example of "Driving While Black" where a Canadian author was wrongly convicted for failure to comply with police orders, showing a lack of jury nullification. Finally, it promotes increasing awareness of jury nullification through organizations like Fully Informed Jury Association to give jurors more power to refuse unjust prosecutions.

Capital punishment is the legitimate causing of death as a result of breaking the law in accord to
criminal law. Several jurisdictions have go on to exercise this means of penalizing felonies and
in the other parts, questions emerge on the legitimacy of the exercise. The mostly used methods
of implementing capital punishment long ago incorporated skewering as well as beheading. The
current society, the generally applied techniques vary from lynching, shelling, and electrocution
to lethal injections.

The execution of the innocent believed guilty is a miscarriage of justice that must be opposed whenever detected.
But such miscarriage of justice cannot warrant abolition at the death penalty. The advantages outweigh the disadvantages, human activities including the penal system with all its punishments are morally justified.

Death Penalty Paper Project

El Centro College
2019
Overview
In this presentation you will read about the death penalty in Texas, see pictures, explore websites and see videos.
You will also learn about the insanity defense in Texas.
You will also be presented with a statute (a law) regarding the duty to report child abuse.
The purpose of this exercise is to educate you on the laws in Texas that are significant - and - during you lifetime you may see the United States Supreme Court take up and comment on.
At the end of my presentation I will present you with a fictional case study and then you will write me a paper about your reflections on the work you did and what you saw in this presentation, whether you think the defendant should be charged with the death penalty, whether an insanity defense would be successful, and whether another individual in the case study had a duty to report child abuse and should be charged with a crime. The case study is based on a compilation of a few true Texas cases.
If you want to read the case study first then you can go to the case study slides and start there to get an idea of what you will be writing about. More specific details on the paper are at the end of the power point.
Why are we doing this?
I want you to leave this class being well-versed in the death penalty and the insanity defense.
Texas executes more people than any other state in the country (Texas is a big state) – this is a Texas Government class so you should know about this topic because it is a big topic in this state. During your lifetime the United States Supreme Court will take cases on this topic and make comments on it – you should be familiar with the topic.
The insanity defense – this is a big topic in the news today so I want you to work with it. With the unfortunate mass public shootings going on - if the shooter survives – the shooter is likely to plead the insanity defense – so I want you to understand it.
I think you learn so much more about these topics by doing this exercise and critically thinking through this case study than by reading about it and taking a test on it.
I know this topic can be disturbing and hard to think about – but in a college course like this it is important to address.
And remember – I am NOT trying to make you think one way or the other or push any opinion on you – I am trying to present many sides to a hard topic that will make you think – whatever your opinion is it does not impact your grade – your grade on this project is based on your hard work and critical thinking and analysis and your ability to form opinions and back them up.
Do Not Do This
Assignment Around Children
This is a hard topic and many of these photos are hard to see and stories are hard to hear. You are a in a college level course so I know you can handle this material.
But please DO NOT watch these videos or explore these websites around children or in a public plac.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

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.

6. The United States has the highest documented incarceration rate in the
world. The U.S. incarceration rate on December 31, 2008 was 754
inmates per 100,000 U.S. residents. The USA also has the highest total
documented prison and jail population in the world.
- New York Times
According to the U.S. Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS): "In 2008, over 7.3
million people were on probation, in jail or prison, or on parole at year-
end — 3.2% of all U.S. adult residents or 1 in every 31 adults."
14. Canadian science fiction author is accused by Michigan border guards, while
he's on the way back to Canada, of having assaulted them. In court, it came
out that although the guards struck Watts several times, Watts never raised a
hand against the guards. However, he was still found guilty because the law
places "failure to comply with a lawful command" -- in this case, a guard's
ordering him to lie down -- as "obstructing a federal officer," and
"obstruction", by the wording of the law, is considered to be as much of a
crime as assault is.
Yes, Americans, Michigan just convicted a man for not lying down and
groveling fast enough. The jury, at one point during deliberation, sent a
question to the court: "Is failure to comply sufficient for conviction?" It
doesn't get a lot clearer than that.
And one thing that's especially clear to me is that this is a jury that had no
idea what jury nullification is.
