  CIRCUMCISION CUTS THROUGH US ALL. In her eye-opening memoir, Georganne Chapin exposes the business of medical circumcision. This unnecessary and most common pediatric surgery in the United States permanently reduces the size and alters the function of a boy’s penis for the rest of his life. Every year, nearly 1.5 million baby boys are assaulted in American hospitals and doctors’ offices, subjecting them to pain, functional and psychological damage, and a forever-altered sexual experience. Chapin traces circumcision’s U.S. roots from 19th Century fears of masturbation to stereotypes about race, class, religion, and male sexuality. She describes how what started as a way to keep men and women from enjoying sex morphed into a for-profit medical practice-one that is rare or unknown in Europe, non-Muslim Asia, Latin America and the Caribbean. Finally, she shows how physician organizations, especially the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), have worked for decades to fraudulently promote circumcision’s supposed benefits and suppress facts about circumcision harm and deaths, and how they refuse to acknowledge the procedure as a gross violation of basic medical ethics. Indeed, the AAP now characterizes male genital mutilation as a matter of “culture” and “parental preference”—a position that, conveniently, shields trade associations and their physician members from legal and financial liability. This book is a punch-in-the-gut wake-up call that will enrage and empower anyone impacted by the multi-billion-dollar penis business.

  Computer Architecture and Organization is a foundational subject in computer science and engineering that explores the internal structure and functioning of computer systems. It encompasses the design principles of hardware components, how these components interact, and the organizational methods used to optimize performance, efficiency, and functionality. 
  This detailed document explores the critical concepts of computer architecture and organization, from basic logic gates to complex processor pipelines. Topics include the von Neumann model, instruction set architecture (ISA), CPU organization, memory hierarchy, input/output systems, control units, pipelining, RISC vs CISC, parallelism, and modern trends like multi-core systems, GPU architectures, and quantum computing potentials. 
  The document also discusses the distinctions between architecture (the conceptual design and fundamental operational structure) and organization (the realization and implementation of architecture), illustrating their interdependence.

  Demystify AI Decisions and Master Interpretability and Explainability Today
  Book Description
  Interpretability in AI/ML refers to the ability to understand and explain how a model arrives at its predictions. It ensures that humans can follow the model's reasoning, making it easier to debug, validate, and trust.
  Interpretability and Explainability in AI Using Python takes you on a structured journey through interpretability and explainability techniques for both white-box and black-box models.
  You’ll start with foundational concepts in interpretable machine learning, exploring different model types and their transparency levels. As you progress, you’ll dive into post-hoc methods, feature effect analysis, anchors, and counterfactuals—powerful tools to decode complex models. The book also covers explainability in deep learning, including Neural Networks, Transformers, and Large Language Models (LLMs), equipping you with strategies to uncover decision-making patterns in AI systems.
  Through hands-on Python examples, you’ll learn how to apply these techniques in real-world scenarios. By the end, you’ll be well-versed in choosing the right interpretability methods, implementing them efficiently, and ensuring AI models align with ethical and regulatory standards—giving you a competitive edge in the evolving AI landscape.

  Intersection of Science and...

  Today, the Catholic Church understands science and religion as having a mutual and complementary relationship. Now, you can explore how the two work together in this program.  Since Pius XII wrote the papal encyclical Humani Generis in 1950, scientific discovery has been a topic of lively discussion in the Church. In The Intersection of Science and Theology, you will explore the place of science in the Christian tradition. Using the writings of Jesuit priest and scientist Pierre Teilhard de Chardin as a basis, these lectures look at God’s two greatest gifts to humans: the Bible and nature.  You will begin by looking at how early Christian apologists, like Tertullian and Irenaeus, tackled questions about science. You will then move through history, looking at debates about faith and reason throughout the centuries. Along the way, you will encounter Isaac Newton, the Enlightenment, Cardinal John Henry Newman, and the controversy caused by Charles Darwin’s On the Origin of Species.  As you move into the twentieth century, you will explore the scientific and religious writings of Teilhard, as well as the thought of contemporary scientists. You will look at how these scientists derived from their research a sense of wonder and reverence for creation. In our modern world, biblical creation and the theory of evolution are often seen as contradictory. As you will come to understand, however, creation and evolution actually work together.  Understanding science is essential for truly grasping religion. Embark on this exploration today.This course is part of the Learn25 collection and includes a free PDF study guide.

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
  We live in a golden age of cosmic discovery. From Galileo’s first telescope to the James Webb Space Telescope, humanity’s view of the Universe has expanded beyond imagination. Beyond the Stars: Astronomy in the 21st Century takes readers on a breathtaking journey through the latest frontiers of space science - exploring new worlds, black holes, galaxies and the ultimate fate of the cosmos. 
  You’ll discover how planets form and die, how black holes reshape space and time, how dark energy accelerates the Universe’s expansion and how telescopes powered by AI and quantum technology are transforming what we can see. 
  From the icy moons of our Solar System to the search for life on distant exoplanets, this book reveals the interconnected story of matter, life and consciousness - and humanity’s unfolding role as the Universe becomes aware of itself. 
  Written for readers of all backgrounds, Beyond the Stars bridges the gap between scientific insight and cosmic wonder. It’s both a reference and a reflection - a guidebook for the 21st-century sky, and a meditation on what it means to be alive in a universe that continues to surprise us at every turn.

  Most organisations are oblivious to, or terrified about, web accessibility.
  You may be aware that 20% of your customers – people with disabilities – could be clicking away from your websites or mobile apps every day, without having bought anything or found the information they needed. You may have received complaints about accessibility problems you don't understand, with people asking for what seem like impossible fixes. Your web teams may have read the industry standard WCAG guidelines, but found them impenetrable. You probably know you could be sued if you don't do the right thing, but you don't know how far you need to go to prevent that. And apart from eliminating risk, what else is in it for your organisation?
  In this audiobook, award-winning international accessibility thought-leader Jonathan Hassell shows you how to transform your organisation to consistently and cost-efficiently create websites, mobile apps and other digital products that are usable for all of your customers.
  Inclusive Design for Organisations  gives you a clear, strategic business-aligned framework how to embed accessibility policies and processes consistently throughout your organisation, and how to measure the return on your investment.
  With insights from leading worldwide accessibility experts who have implemented these processes in their organisations, this book comes with a free library of downloadable support tools, templates, podcasts and videos to help you on your journey to accessibility maturity.
  Inclusive Design for Organisations, and its companion, Inclusive Design for Products, will help you comply with both parts of the new International Standard ISO 30071-1.
