  Grace Brewster Hopper (December 9, 1906 to January 1, 1992) was an American computer scientist, mathematician, and United States Navy rear admiral. A pioneer of computer programming, Hopper was the first to devise the theory of machine-independent programming languages and used this theory to develop the FLOW-MATIC programming language and COBOL, an early high-level programming language still in use today. She was also one of the first programmers on the Harvard Mark I computer. She is credited with writing the first computer manual, "A Manual of Operation for the Automatic Sequence Controlled Calculator." The following audio recording is from a 1982 presentation.

  Free Speech and Turbulent...

  A vast censorship regime has smothered America's digital marketplace of ideas, squelching free speech on vital policy issues. Its supporters regard its benefits as morally and politically beyond question. They contend it's carried out by private social media platforms, not governmental authorities. 
   
   
   
  In Free Speech and Turbulent Freedom, Michael J. Glennon offers a timely and incisive response. The censors are short-sighted, he argues. Quibbling over outdated distinctions misses the real threat—which is the fusion of public and private power into a modern-day cartel able to overleap longstanding constitutional safeguards. American democracy, he argues, rests on a decentralized marketplace of ideas independent of the government. In crisp, trenchant terms, Glennon shows how concrete practical concerns justify protecting admittedly harmful online speech—even speech that advocates violence or embraces hatred or apparent falsehood. 
   
   
   
  To safely self-correct, democracy requires open channels of political communication. Glennon calls on the courts to unblock those channels—to measure such speech against enduring First Amendment precepts rather than pliable international norms—and to protect the speech interests not merely of the government and Big Tech, but of all participants in the marketplace of ideas.

  Pollinators are among the most vital creatures on Earth, playing a crucial role in the health of ecosystems, food production, and biodiversity. Bees, butterflies, birds, and other pollinators help fertilize plants by transferring pollen, enabling plants to reproduce and produce fruit. Without these remarkable creatures, the world would face a drastic decline in the availability of many foods and flowers, not to mention the overall environmental balance. As pollinators continue to face mounting challenges from habitat loss, pesticide use, and climate change, the need to support and protect them has never been more urgent. 
  Pollinator gardens provide a practical and rewarding solution to this pressing issue. By cultivating spaces specifically designed to attract and support bees, butterflies, birds, and other pollinators, gardeners can contribute to the conservation of these essential species. A well-designed pollinator garden doesn’t only benefit the creatures that visit it; it can also enrich the garden itself. These spaces foster a vibrant, diverse environment that promotes soil health, provides a haven for wildlife, and offers an aesthetically pleasing landscape that changes with the seasons. 
  This book is a guide to creating and maintaining pollinator gardens that provide much-needed resources for these important creatures. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced gardener, you’ll find practical tips on choosing the right plants, designing your garden, and understanding the specific needs of different pollinators. We will explore the different types of pollinators—bees, butterflies, birds, and other creatures—and provide insights into
