Rel & Sci Events
Welcome to Zygon: Journal of Religion and Science. Published since 1966, Zygon is dedicated to the manifold interactions between the sciences and human religious and moral convictions. We seek to consider the whole range of the sciences; cosmology and physics, biology and the neurosciences, sociology, psychology, and anthropology. We seek to be open to religious and non-religious perspectives, those rooted in the great traditions such as Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, but also to religious naturalism, secular humanism, and atheism, both variants at home in the Western world and versions elsewhere on our globe. We cover ideas (theories, theologies) as well as practices. We address ethical issues and analyze the history of the differentiation between science and religion and their subsequent interactions.
Zygon's entire collection of 55 years of articles is available online at https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/journal/14679744. This puts at your fingertips what is surely the richest library of religion-and-science writing available anywhere. About half of our authors are rooted in the sciences; the other half in the humanities, including philosophy, religious studies, and theology. For more information about becoming an author in Zygon please visit https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/page/journal/14679744/homepage/forauthors.html for guidelines.
Statement of Perspective
The word zygon means the yoking of two entities or processes that must work together. It is related to zygote—meaning the union of genetic heritage from sperm and egg, a union which is vital in higher species for the continuation of advancement of life. The journal Zygon provides a forum for exploring ways to unite what in modern times has been disconnected—values from knowledge, goodness from truth, religion from science.
Traditional religions, which have transmitted wisdom about what is of essential value and ultimate meaning as a guide for human living, were expressed in terms of the best understandings of their times about human nature, society, and the world. Religious expression in our time, however, has not drawn similarly on modern science, which has superseded the ancient forms of understanding. As a result religions have lost credibility in the modern mind. Nevertheless some recent scientific studies of human evolution and development have indicated how long-standing religions have evolved well-winnowed wisdom, still essential for the best life.
Zygon's hypothesis is that, when long-evolved religious wisdom is yoked with significant, recent scientific discoveries about the world and human nature, there results credible expression of basic meaning, values, and moral convictions that provides valid and effective guidance for enhancing human life. Zygon also publishes manuscripts that are critical of this perspective, as long as such papers contribute to a constructive reflection on scientific knowledge, human values, and existential meaning.
Institute on Religion in an Age of Science (IRAS)
Founded in 1954, IRAS is an ndependent society of natural scientists, social scientists, philosophers, religion scholars, theologians, and others who seek to understand and reformulate the theory and practice of religion in the light of contemporary scientific knowledge. It is both an affiliate society of the American Association for the Advancement of Science and a member of the Council on the Study of Religion, a federation of learned societies in the field of religion.
Center for Advanced Study in Religion and Science (CASIRAS)
Founded in 1972, CASIRAS is an independent society of scholars and scientists from various fields who pursue critical, interdisciplinary studies of possibilities for constructively relating religion and science. In affiliation with the Association of Chicago Theological Schools it offers instruction and research opportunities in the implications of science for religion to seminarians, graduate students, visiting scholars, and faculty.
International Society for Science and Religion (ISSR)
Founded in 2002, ISSR is established for the purpose of the promotion of education through the support of interdisciplinary learning and research in the fields of science and religion conducted where possible in an international and multifaith context.

My big kids are at camp this week so I thought I would share a few summer camp care package ideas. I would love to tell you that I get these done weeks in advance but I'm usually up late the night before drop off finishing up their care packages! I'm always on the lookout for cheap finds but tend to leave the preparation till the very last minute (will I ever learn?!). Here's a few things I did this year and keep reading for a list of 20 easy camp care package ideas!
For the first day, I sent a little pill box with six openings. In each opening, I put a challenge for them (Holden and her BFF, Carly) to complete each day of camp. I wrapped the challenges around little Squinkies that I found in our playroom for a little something fun.
Challenge: Find someone today that might be a little sad and give them a hug!
Romans 12:10 - Be devoted to one another in love. Honor one another above yourselves.
Challenge: Do something today that scares you. You can do it!!!
Challenge: Do something kind for someone without them knowing.
Challenge: Tell each and every coach you see "thank you" for all their hard work!
Philippians 4:8 - Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable - if anything is excellent or praiseworthy - think about such things.
BONUS Challenge: Learn every girl's name in your cabin and one really cool fact about her!
I found these little pill boxes at Target's Dollar Spot.
I found these awesome finds at Clare's this past summer - all for $1 each!!!
For Wednesday's care package, I put together a little pedicure party in a box for their cabin!
Holden loves all the little surprises but her absolute FAVORITE care package will always involve stuffed animals. I found this cute little gray fox (please tell me you think that's what this little animal is!) that actually is a pencil case (it has a little zippered compartment down it's back). I found this in the school supply section at Wal-Mart.
More Target Dollar Spot finds for the last day!
As the kiddos age and their tastes change, so have their camp care packages. Below are a few things I've sent over the years that have been favorites. I hope you find a few that you can send to your favorite camper!
Do you have fun camp care package ideas? Please share!!! I'm always looking for new ideas!
AND come back tonight at 8pm for #summerfamilyfun...for the next 5 weeks, you can find a BONUS link-up here for summer family fun posts! There are 30 co-hosts so your post will get maximum exposure!!! Feel free to link up both days!
Holly, seriously, I want to be your kid! This is another great way to show your children how much you value them. Man, when I am stumped for ideas I am so going to contact you. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this! You rock sister.
Michelle, not gonna lie, it gets hard but it's seriously one of my love languages. I LOVE giving gifts! I'm always on the lookout for something/anything I think someone might like. It's fun when I can do a little word spin on it too! :) Thank you for your sweet words!
Great ideas! It definitely gets harder to think of "cool" stuff for the care package as they get older! Lotion and lip balm/gloss is always a hit with teen girls.
Lotion and lip balm!!! Fabulous ideas that I have never thought about!!! Thanks, Tanya!!!
Those are great care package ideas. When Favorite Young Man went to college, I always kept him supplied with his favorite homemade cookies.
You are seriously the coolest mama! I love all that you do for your kiddos! I think that little stuffed animal is a husky dog! LOL ....but lets pretend he's a fox! Have a fabulous week and enjoy your time with Hope! I am sure she misses her siblings but loves being the only kiddo at home!
Thank you, Kim! I knock it out of the ball park some days and others I strike out repeatedly! :) But, I keep coming up to bag! ;) I am LOLing - now that you say it, it does look like a husky dog!!! Proof that I stay up way too late some nights and start seeing things! hahaha!!! Hope is having a fantastic time at Camp Spoil Me Rotten While the Bigs are Gone! Anytime I ask her something she says, "since I'm the only one here, do I get to choose?" Thanks for stopping by!
Love the camp ideas! You're so creative. Also, the service challenges. I haven't been able to do any yet, due to money shortages, but I will try to do kind things for my neighbors.
Be sure and check out this week's challenge! I've got a few ideas on how to serve for less than $1 (and some of them are absolutely free!). Thanks for stopping by! I hope you have a fantastic day!
Oh I love these care packages! You are so creative! I love how you incorporated the bible verses for each task. Great job! God bless you always!
You are one amazing Mom! Love these ideas! Thank you for sharing them with us at the Brag About It Link Party!
Haha, Laurie! Definitely clips from my highlight reel - there are tons of bloopers and clips that don't make the cut! ;) Thanks for stopping by! Have a great evening!
Love that pencil case fox :) I would get that for Sophie if I found it here. And you're more than welcome to send me a care package anytime ;) I would love to have any of those gifts.
Thanks! It's super soft too!
These are awesome! I think if Xavier ever goes away to camp I will be calling on you for a care package! lol!
I love this! You are such an awesome Mommy. I hope I do these things when my kids are camp age. :) Great ideas.
Came over on SHINE today and found your post next to mine.
Thank you, Melanie! This is the type of stuff I really enjoy so it's easy! I'm glad you stopped by! Have a super weekend!
These are excellent ideas. I'm going to use them to send packages to my grandkids who do not live close by. Thanks for sharing at my Grandma Ideas Sharing Time link party. I really appreciate your participation!
Thanks, Nina! I'm glad you could get some ideas! I know your grands will love them!
So, I know you did this a year ago, but I just now found it! This is exactly what I was looking for. I am surprised this type of stuff isn't just oozing out of Pinterest! You are brilliant! I am so glad to have found your blog. It's bookmarked now!
I'm so glad you found it!!! Thank you so much for your sweet comment! Glad I could help!

Be A Border Patrol Wannabe
"Join the U.S. Border Patrol!" reads the link on NewsMax's front page today. Huh? The Border Patrol is trolling for recruits on a conservative web site?
Well, no. Click the link, and it takes you to NewsMax's store, where you can buy a Border Patrol cap. "Now you can stand on the frontlines of America's battle with illegal immigrants by wearing the US Border Patrol cap," the ad copy states. "Wear the cap everywhere ... and if illegals start running when they see you ... you'll have the last laugh."
Then again, the (actual) Border Patrol may not want recruits who succumb to ad copy like this.
Breaking news from WorldNetDaily: If an author appears on TV, sales of the author's book increase!
WND's Kerry Hatefest Lingers
WorldNetDaily just can't stop hating John Kerry.
It was a veritable Kerry-hating machine during the 2004 presidential campaign, spewing distortions and lies at every opportunity. The tradition continues with an Aug. 22 article on gonzo writer Hunter Thompson's funeral. The headline:
"Kerry attends funeral with blow-up sex dolls."
WND Hearts Convicted Felons
An Aug. 22 WorldNetDaily article by Art Moore continues WND's policy of whitewashing the felonious past of Clinton-basher Peter Paul and includes a serious factual error in the process.
Moore follows the standard ConWeb blueprint of playing down Paul's crimes, as it does for his buddy and fellow felon, Aaron Tonken. The factual error comes as Moore plays down Paul's guilty plea for his role in a $25 million stock manipulation scheme involving a company he co-founded with comic-book legend Stan Lee. Moore wrote:
The Clinton Justice Department had him jailed while he was in Brazil and then extradicted to the United States.
In fact, the original indictment against Paul was not issued until June 2001, and he was arrested in Brazil in August 2001 -- months after the Clinton administration left office and, thus, no longer ran the Justice Department.
Moore also wrote that "Paul insists he was doing business in South America, not fleeing justice as some contended," but includes no explanation of why Paul fought extradition from Brazil for two years.
Moore's article is mostly based on an interview with Paul; near as we can tell, Moore made little or no attempt to fact-check Paul's statements.
Look for a full ConWebWatch article later this week on this subject.
NewsMax's Meaningless Poll
An Aug. 20 NewsMax article relies on a meaningless opt-in poll to claim that support for "Bush-bashing Gold Star mom Cindy Sheehan" is "actually losing the public opinion battle by a landslide.
NewsMax describes the opt-in America Online poll as "technically unscientific." That technicality being that opt-in polls reflect only the opinions of those who vote in the poll, not a genuine cross-section of the public at large.

When you become a parent, there are countless things you have to learn: How to feed a baby. How to survive without sleep. How to have a social life centered around a tiny human. These are just the things you expect. Then there are the things no one tells you: How to cook an entire meal using only your left hand or how a trip to the store to buy toothpaste will now require as much planning as your last vacation. Parenthood is like being inducted into a secret club, with its own special handshakes and understanding nods.
Pamela Moncree does more in 24 hours than most of us can do in a week. When Moncree isn't serving customers out of her Durham, N.C. Chick-fil-A, she's running a tutoring program out of the restaurant for local elementary school students who need help with reading, math and science.

In the year 3104, United Planets Agent Jane Trellis finds new hope in cracking the illegal augment trade when time travelers Dr. Albert Snowden; his niece, Emily; V; and Evaran arrive at Roeth, a planet 740 light-years away from Earth. With Jane's new allies, she can finally check out the Dyson bubble that is under quarantine. On a personal note, she hopes to discover more about how her husband died while working there. Experiencing timeline changes, meeting multiple timeline versions of people, rooting out a timeline anomaly, and facing off against a timeline threat were not things Jane had envisioned herself ever doing, yet she finds herself in the middle of all those issues. Becoming a time refugee was definitely not on her list of things to do.
This story is classified as SF, but it should probably be classified as fantasy, since the "science" in this story is ill-defined and somewhat inconsistent. The highlight of this story (and this series) is the delightful cast of characters. And Michael Pauley's voicing of these characters is spot on.

At Savision, we are always looking for ways to improve our Business Service Management solution, and we are proud that we recently released the newest version of Live Maps.
Dennis Rietvink, Savision's Co-Founder and VP of Product Management, hosted two webinars to introduce the powerful new features that we have added to our newest release of Live Maps. We received some interesting questions during the webinar. You can find them below.
Q1: Is there a plan for a Live Maps version without SCOM?
SCOM will always be supported in our solutions. You will see solutions from Savision that are able to handle data from more monitoring products soon.
Q2: Is the Live Maps onsole a replacement for Live Maps 7.0 web-console?
Not yet, the Live Maps ortal is shipped as an addition in the Live Maps 7.5 release. It does include all functionality of the LM 7.0 web console and more but because of the complexity of the transition we decided to ship both options until we are 100% satisfied.
Q3: Does the new Portal require additional license to deploy?
NO, it is free for Live Maps customers with a valid M & S contract. If this does not apply to you and you would like to experience the new features, contact us to discuss how we can make this happen.
Q4: How do I install it?
The web portal is a separate download, so if you download the complete 7.5 download from our Download site, you will see the link to download the new Unity portal. You can click and proceed to install it, it is an IIS application. It will point to your SCOM server and you will have a new front-end for Live Maps.
Q5: Can I embed different portal views into third party web sites, for example to create a sort of dashboard on the customer's intranet? If yes, how do I handle a login?
Yes, you can. With a custom web view. How you handle a login would be similar to when you include a web view or a web part into a SharePoint site for example.
Q6: In old Live Maps installations there was a Windows 7 Widget (a small app), which you could put on the desktop and configure it to show the status of a few modelled services. Does that still exist in Live Maps?
We always liked the widget too but Microsoft stopped supporting it. Because of the issues with the gadget framework we decided to drop support for it too, so it has been removed from the current installation package.
If you have more questions about Live Maps 7.5, don't hesitate to contact us. Just send an email to sales@savision.com and one of our experts will be more than happy to assist you.
If you missed the live webinars or would like to watch it again, you can watch the on-demand version here.

Lüneburg: Historic Town Hall
The historic Town Hall in Lüneburg is an absolute one-off: it came into being over the course of several centuries and comprises buildings from many architectural periods. The basic construction was in 1230 and today is the seat of the Lüneburg administration. Lüneburg Town Hall is the largest medieval town hall in Northern Germany.
The wealth of the Hanseatic League in Lüneburg is also reflected in the Town Hall. You can only view the impressive parts of the building such as the Courtroom, Princes' Hall, Old Archive, Chancery and great Council Chamber on a guided tour because they are so precious. As the Town Hall did not suffer any damage during the war, it is wonderfully preserved.
Most of the buildings belong to the period of North German Brick Gothic. However, after the Gothic façade on Marktplatz was damaged in a storm in 1703, the decision was taken to erect a baroque façade in front of it by 1720.
If you hear a glockenspiel, then it is coming from the Town Hall tower. Here there is a glockenspiel in Meissen porcelain that plays regularly.
The floor of the court building is still the original one from the 14th century and is covered with plate glass. The ceiling and wall paintings are impressive and depict the Last Judgement. The late Gothic windows have also been preserved. In the courtroom there is a chest, in which the town council's silver was stored. Lüneburg had become very rich indeed from salt and here in the Town Hall was the largest collection of silver of all German towns.
A barely visible door set in the wall of the courtroom represented an innovation for that time. It was the so-called "privy", the toilet. What was innovative was that it was located inside the building whilst, at the time, they were found outside of most homes.
e Princes Hall is one of the largest halls without columns of its time and thus a genuine work of art. The Princes of Lüneburg can be found on the walls once more.
The great Council Chamber is richly decorated with carved oak and wall paintings. The room was created during the Renaissance and is a perfect example of how the Lüneburgers repeatedly enlarged the Town Hall through extensions. In the Council Chamber the mayors of Lüneburg were also elected. Only Master Saltboilers could be elected onto the council. This meant that about 40 families determined the fate of the town for centuries.
The power of the people of Lüneburg was so great that even the duke's palace lies on the shady side of the Town Hall. At that time this was an affront, which the duke however had to swallow.
Lüneburg Town Hall can only be visited on a guided tour.

Project Perfect Mod :: View topic - Moving to OpenRA.
Posted: Sun Nov 08, 2015 5:07 am Post subject: Moving to OpenRA.
Hi all, once I made an topic about this some one crapped it I guess about the lack of details anyway I have a bunch of question that I would like to know its answers.
Can we modify the engine of OpenRA? - Is renaming the modified engine well result in some sort of ripping? "OpenWotw"
Do we need a Programming language knowledge to mod Openra?
Is it necessary to import all the stuf from A RA2 YR mod with ares one by one?
Does OpenRA still use the 256 pal or can we make better quality assets?
Is all the codes of YR in OpenRA or we must add it?
Can we create a GUI for OpenRA that looks like YR one?
Is all the features of ares is in OpeRA?
Does OpenRA engine Render the voxels as it was rendered on Yr or it render it better?
please don't crap this Topic too.
3 and for the rest: well openRA isn't YR, but you been recreate the elements from it, and yes I suppose the 256 Palette is still used, it renders videos better and the features of Ares aren't yet available in open RA, to should make them..
You should wait a bit Zlixine. It is really not time to move OpenRA for a YR modder, at least before all YR functions are added. After that i'll move my mod to OpenRA too.
About programing language knowledge. Yaml is a bit different than MSINI files. As OpenRA aims heavy modability most of Trait names are different and generic than orginal Trait names. You don't need to know C# which is language OpenRA is written to mod game unless you want to add something new that game doesn't support yet.
You can take a look at https://github.com/OpenRA/OpenRA/tree/bleed/mods/ts to see how a mod using isometric and voxel unit engine features works.
The engine is totally modifiable. As for the name, there is no good reason to change it. You probably could, but personally I dislike the idea.
How to mod OpenRA? Do we need a Programming language knowledge to mod Openra?
Depends on the scope of your mod. If you want a modified YR with changed values and some new units - you only need YAML, which is similar to the INIs you are used to, and a simple text editor. If you want to add new features, then you need C#, preferably with a good IDE.
Is it necessary to import all the stuf from A RA2 YR mod with ares one by one? Is all the features of ares is in OpeRA?
OpenRA has nothing to do with Ares, so it's hard to answer this. It is missing some Ares features as far as I know, has some of them, and has a ton of features that Ares doesn't.
Currently TS is being worked on. A group of people are working on an unofficial RA2 mod. YR is still a long way away. You could consider helping speed up the development of the RA2 mod, as that is a prerequisite for YR (and TS is a prerequisite for RA2).
Yes, you can do whatever you like with the UI. OpenRA has a very modifiable widget system for that.
I'm no expert, but I've heard people say it renders them better.
For the most part I'd say it's still early for YR mods, unless they want to help speed up the development of the prerequisites (TS and RA2).
The engine is GPLv3 IIRC, so you can pretty much do whatever you want with it. If you were to fork it and modify it enough that is was justified to call it somthing else to differentiate from the original project then you could call it whatever you wanted. However the copyright on code you didn't write would remain with the original authors and you would have to keep it GPLv3 licensed.
Ares is an extension of the YR engine, you can't import anything from it to OpenRA directly as OpenRA is not related to any of the Command & Conquer game engines. Its a custom generic RTS engine that was written to use the original C&C game assets that does everything its own way. There is a lot of intentional overlap where its possible to create similar effects and logic in OpenRA, but you need to rewrite everything to use OpenRA YAML. As I understand there are convertors for some types of content, but the resulting YAML might not be particularly understandable.
As I explained above, none of the YR "codes" are in OpenRA, OpenRA has nothing to do with any of the C&C game engines. It has similar or equivalent codes in many cases and they are working to implement more, but the way you write a mod to use them is totally different.
Thanks for answering my questions I will start to fork OpenRA as I want until it become another thing.
anyway I will spend time in it to try to make a very big PAL file that has 16-bit "65,536 color" for the Engine.
bye bye for the YR modding.

Draft abortion opinion leads to speculation around future of contraception, marriage rights
byKelsee Majette
Helen H. Richardson/MediaNews Group/The Denver Post via Getty Images
After a draft opinion of the Supreme Court's plan to overturn landmark abortion case Roe v. Wade was leaked, The Guardian says "legal experts believe other laws about individual autonomy may be in danger, including the right to access contraception."
Broad language in an abortion ruling could potentially imperil certain methods of birth control, which "opponents incorrectly say are working as abortion-causing medications," The Guardian adds. That means striking down the right to contraception (Griswold v. Connecticut) could be next, some experts predict.
Wendy Parmet, faculty co-director for the Center for Health Policy and Law at Northeastern University says "[i]f this [draft] opinion becomes the opinion of the court, Griswold is imperiled – no question."
Additionally, The Washington Post points to speculation that a major abortion restriction could also threaten to "erase decades of activism by the LGBTQ community" on same-sex marriage. Because the draft opinion argues that Roe is a faulty law, The Guardian reports, some analysts think it could rope in other cases based on the 14th amendment, "like Obergefell v. Hodges on same-sex marriage, Loving v. Virginia on interracial marriage, and Lawrence v. Texas on consensual sex."
"Legal experts are divided on whether the right to same-sex marriage is actually in danger," writes the Post, noting that the draft opinion did emphasize that "nothing in this opinion should be understood to cast doubt on precedents that do not concern abortion."

September 11, 2016 | William D. Kickham, Esq.
In my previous post on this subject, I wrote about how bad the incidence of texting and driving has become– as well as cell phone use when driving – in Massachusetts and New England. Here I'll discuss what's being done in other states, and what might be done here to more aggressively tackle this change-resistant problem.
Presently, forty-six states in the U.S. have enacted laws against texting while driving. Almost all of those states also prohibit sending or reading email, or otherwise using the phone. Unfortunately, in Florida, texting is a secondary offense, which means that even if a police officer sees a driver texting, the officer can't stop that driver unless another violation is observed, such as speeding.
Despite all these efforts, police and motor vehicle safety advocates will tell you that the problem is only growing worse. The predictable result? Thousands of serious injuries and deaths, across the country. As a Boston texting and driving lawyer, I see horrific injuries, scars, burns, paralysis and even deaths that inevitably follow.
What do we do about this problem? As a Massachusetts motor vehicle offenses lawyer, I advocate two responses: 1) Legislation to increase the current penalties; and 2) A public education campaign to drive home the insanity of this 'practice.' In my previous post, I discussed how difficult it can be for police to prove that someone was texting or using their cell phone for another reason: Officers don't have objective, electronic proof of the violation, such as lidar and radar do for speeding, and breathalyzers do for drinking and driving.
New York state may have developed a solution. Some legislators there proposed that police cruisers be equipped with a new device called the (appropriately) the "Textalyzer." Police investigating a crash could use the device to scan the driver's phone for any activity use immediately preceding the crash. The proposal has not yet been formally voted on, and will doubtless be objected to as an unlawful search. But if the search of the cell phone could somehow be limited to activity on the phone just immediately prior to the collision, – perhaps a maximum of five minutes and no more – it would without doubt be worth a try. New York state also has a law that puts texting offenses onto a drivers' DMV driver records, which leads to higher points on their driving records, and higher insurance rates. That approach should be adopted by Massachusetts and other states, as well.
Fines for texting while driving in Massachusetts range from $100 for a first offense, $250 for second offense, and $500 for a third offense. In my view as a Massachusetts injury attorney who sees far more of the terrible consequences of this problem than he wished to, I think we need to get far more serious about this problem, and fast.
Some states, such as Louisiana, have increased the fine for first-time offenders from $175 to up to $500. I think that the Massachusetts Legislature should consider this. Which would you prefer: Knowing that "the other driver" on the road – or you as well, could be fined $500.00 for texting while driving, or be horrifically deformed in a Massachusetts car accident? Or perhaps paralyzed? Or perhaps killed? Or perhaps have a loved one killed? Quick: Which prospect is worse?
Jay Winsten, who directs the Center for Health Communication at Harvard's School of Public Health, is developing a major media campaign against distracted driving. The center created a very successful campaign to combat drunken driving.
ATT Mobility has also waged a very laudable awareness campaign called "It Can Wait." Hopefully, we'll see change in public behavior soon.


If you were using Uber last year then I have some bad news your personal details may have been hacked .
He only learned of the breach recently hackers didn't access credit card information or social security numbers but personal information like names email addresses and driver's license numbers were all compromised .
Uber then paid $100,000 to have the hackers delete this data none of this should have happened and I will not make excuses for it cuz Raja he said in a statement adding that,The company would learn from its mistakes but the news tops off a bad year for Uber former CEO Travis kalanick left the company in June after a string of scandals.
Since then new CEO Derek asaf jahi has had to stare down more issues including tussles with regulators around the world and continued allegations of sexual assault leveled against its drivers so is the data breach enough for you to stop using uber let us know your thoughts in the comments .

Interview with Matthew Davenport, David Hambling, David J. West, David Niall Wilson, and C.T. Phipps
Welcome to the Round Table for TALES OF THE AL-AZIF by myself, Matthew Davenport, David Niall Wilson, David Hambling, and David J. West. This is a discussion between the authors about what they thought while writing the book, what inspired them, and what they thought about everyone else's contributions.
The Call of Distant Shores
Note: I've worked with the author and his publishing house but these are my honest thoughts as best I could make them. Consider yourself forewarned.
THE CALL OF DISTANT SHORES is a homage to the works of H.P. Lovecraft with a twist. David Niall Wilson is a author I have very much enjoyed the writings of ranging from his work for licensed properties like STAR TREK, VAMPIRE: THE MASQUERADE, and STARGATE SG-1 to his original stories like GIDEON'S CURSE as well as the DECHANCE CHRONICLES.
As a huge H.P. Lovecraft and Cthulhu Mythos fan, however, I was skeptical of him bringing anything new to the table. Many people have chosen to write in HPL's style and few people manage to become anything more than a pale imitation. The people who actually succeed in adding something new to the Mythos are those people who take the Man from Providence's work as an inspiration then do their own thing with it.
I'm pleased to say that David Niall Wilson is one of the latter rather than the former. The big thing he brings to the Cthulhu Mythos is humor. You can tell that DNW is a man who doesn't entirely take the creeping, looming, and gnawing horror of the universe all that seriously. It's not so much that man isn't irrelevant in this universe but that such things don't actually scare your average citizen. They know they're cogs in a wheel and the existence of ancient gods beyond the horizon doesn't do much to change the price of your gas bill.
The majority of protagonists in this book are various shades of idiot, working class hero, or average joe versus the nebbish scholars which serve as the prototypical Lovecraftian hero. "Are you looking for Herb?" has an obnoxious set of travelers venture off the roads into the backwoods and miss all the signs they've found themselves among people who are best left undisturbed.
"Cockroach Suckers" is my favorite of the stories here as it's a tale of people who find a horrifying eldritch entity and decide to build a freakshow around it. The superintendent of a building discovers a mad artist building unnatural grotesques that may be summoning SOMETHING horrifying but he's too distracted by the man's daughter's boobs to make much sense of it.
The book isn't entirely limited to humor, though, and contains a variety of takes on the Mythos that other authors don't necessarily touch on. For example, aside from Stuart Gordon, not many people ever explore the sexier side of the Mythos. There's just not much appealing in matings between human women and fishmen or Yog-Sogoth. Here, however, there's two stories that are a bit on the steamier side.
I also appreciated the "Call of Distant Shores" itself, which is more akin to a ghost story than a traditional Lovecraftian tale. Indeed, it's actually a tribute to Clark Ashton Smith (another member of the Lovecraft Circle). It does, however, have many themes of inherited guilt and the unfathomable otherworldly power embodied by the sea. Horror fans should enjoy the story simply because it's great fiction rather than its similarity to the work of Howard Phillips, however. I could easily see this expanded to a Stephen King BAG OF BONES-esque novel as David really manages to nail small-town life.
Another great treat in the story is a Sherlock Holmes encounter with an unnatural horror that was co-written with another author. THE SHADOW OVER BAKER STREET is one of the best anthologies ever written, in my humble opinion, and something everyone should pick up. This was the story included there and reflects the fact he's written for (in his own words) a lot of Lovecraft anthologies. At heart, David Niall Wilson gets the heart of HPL isn't tentacles or specific monsters but ideas that rattle the soul.
There's some serious and even haunting stories in this work but the sense of humor the author brings to his collection is what I give him the most props for. I also love how he tweaked the formula of so many pastiches by adding elements which the original author never touched on (romance for one). If you're looking for a short story collection that doesn't blandly copy the work of the artist formerly immortalized as the World Fantasy Awards then this is definitely a place to do your shopping.

Interview with David Niall Wilson II
I have an interview with David Wilson, two time Stoker Award winner and owner/operator of Crossroad Press! We're here to talk about his classic book, THIS IS MY BLOOD, which I recently reviewed here.
1. So, tell us about THIS IS MY BLOOD.
This is My Blood is a different telling of a very old story. I changed none of the order of things, nor did I change the outcome – only the road to reach that outcome. Mary Magdalene, raised by Lucifer in the desert to tempt Jesus in the guise of a woman, instead refused – wanting to return to Heaven. Lucifer cursed her to follow in Jesus' footsteps, feeding on the faithful, and claimed she would become his undoing.
That is where my story starts. You will find the king's daughter, raised from the dead, Lazarus, all the apostles in their flawed faith, and a narrator – in Mary – who does not depend on faith, but sees with the eyes of one who KNOWS what is truth, and is not impressed with the spirituality of men. Lilith also plays a sizeable part in this book.
All that I learned, figured out on my own, and wanted to repeat of The Bible, Christianity, faith, and – I suppose – of shadows – was tied up in this early work of mine. I have since come to believe that ancient myths should be left to the ancient societies who created them, and that we should worry more over our own self-worth than that of others. I don't believe there are any spiritual rules laid down in the words of long dead men that I should follow, but I do believe that men know, inherently, the difference between right, and wrong, and that all choices made in that area are their own. No free ticket out for asking forgiveness, and no pit of fire for failures.
2. How did you come up with the concept?
One day, in the middle of the ocean, a group of us were sitting around, playing music, drinking coffee, and working on the various creative endeavors that kept us sane. Out of the blue, someone said: "What if Jesus was a vampire?" There are a lot of flaws in such a story – though others have tried to write it – and I was quick to point them out. I was, after all, not that far past the period of my life where Christianity and I parted ways. I had studied with an eye toward the ministry at one point, and I'd read the book – several times.
What I proposed, eventually, was that it made much more sense if someone close to Jesus was a vampire. Someone he trusted. Someone who could account for the rising of the dead in three days, without it actually being the man himself behind it all. I didn't write about it then, I thought about it, and I filed it away with a lot of other ideas. Eventually I wrote a novelette – A Candle in the Sun – that was published in Starshore Magazine, then reprinted in Year's Best Horror XIX, edited by Karl Edward Wagner, and has since been reprinted nearly a half dozen more times. It was good – everyone agreed that it was good, but I knew that it wasn't complete. I just wasn't ready to do the thing justice.
Then, on a completely different cruise, locked in a transmitter room with a 386 computer, a Deskjet 500 inkjet printer, and a CD Player loaded with Concrete Blonde & Depeche Mode, I realized it was time. I had a marked up, four inch tall copy of the New Testament that the Gideon Society had presented the ship with, and I had notes. I started out, jumping from gospel to gospel when some part of the story either had a hole, or was missing something important. As I went, I crafted large chunks of The Gospel According to Judas Iscariot, because I'd always thought he got a raw deal in the original mix, and I wanted him for a hero.
3. How would you describe Mary?
Mary is the key to the story. I'm working on a treatment and screenplay – adapting this novel – and the book I'm reading describes the type of book I'm writing as a "Superhero" story. Someone with extraordinary ability dropped into an ordinary setting (If you can call the fictional times of the gospels ordinary).
She is a fallen angel. She has suffered… she has been offered hope. During the novel there are several key moments in her development as a character… and I would dearly love to get into those, but I don't want to spoil the story for people who have not read it. Suffice it to say – she does not require faith. She does not doubt Jesus, or God, or Satan – she knows them. Stuck in human form – albeit powerful and vampiric – she learns about pain and death and emotion as only men can celebrate them. She learns about the "Heavenly Father" and prophecy in the same way. She has n irresistible perspective on mysteries we can only ponder.
4. How do you handle figures like Jesus, the Devil, and other historical/theological personages?
Most of the points where these characters interact with the story are told through passages from the fictional Gospel According to Judas Iscariot. There are scenes with Jesus, of course, and many with Judas, who is something of a hero himself – a counterpart to Mary who was born human, with all of our faults and fears.
The rest I tried to portray in the same way the unknown authors of The New Testament did. In the form of biblical verse, or in a very carefully worded narrative. They all serve the same purposes they did in the original story – but I did not want them to intrude in the story I was telling and I also did not want them to overshadow my main protagonists… they are very much the God, and Lucifer, people would recognize from Bible school. I was careful not to just write something blasphemous… it was never the intent.
5. What do you hope people take away from this book?
QR codes for all of their friends and relatives to buy the book?
Seriously, I didn't write it with other people in mind. I wrote it because I spent a number of years of my life reading and studying a book of ancient mythology I thought (at the time) was the answer to life, the universe, and everything… then I grew up. I started to take charge of my thoughts, and my life, and to think – really think- about all those years spend feeling guilty for things that should inspire no guilt, and spreading the same nonsense to others… There is a meme out there in social media – a group of religious leaders gathered around a table… the caption says … Religion – where grown adults argue over who has the best imaginary friend.
So I think what I hope people will take from my book is the experience behind it, the part of me that I wrote into the words and pages. I hope they take something out of it that sticks with them, or leads them to another of my books. I hope it influences them in some way. But I didn't write it for them… I wrote it for me, and then I gave myself to the readers. That's what one of my other projects is all about – a non-fiction half-memoir, half book on writing titled "Writing What Hurts." This one did.
6. Do you think vampires mix well with religion?
Traditional vampires are tied straight in with traditional religion. Crosses, sanctified graves, holy water. One would not be the same without the other, but in the case of my novel, it was just a marriage of convenience. There were too many ways a vampire might fit into the holes in the original plot. And as is the case in most urban horror and fantasy, modern monster tales, and stories about creatures beyond the standard limits of mankind… the point of the story is not that there is a vampire, or that there are monsters. The vampires, fallen angels, etc… are just characters. They are *in* the story… but their powers and situations are outside that story. In the days of Dracula, the story was about a monster that was a vampire. Mine is a novel that happens to have a vampire in it.
7. How was the response to the book?
Critical response was wonderful. Publisher's Weekly and Library Journal loved it. I can honestly say that the closest to a bad review I've ever gotten from an actual review site, or a reader, was one person who had no biblical background and admitted that she liked the story, but was probably missing something. The response has been unbelievably positive… and small. It's like a cult thing. Those who know the book will go on about it at length… but there just aren't enough of them (yet). It's even listed in the Complete Idiot's Guide to Mary Magdalene…
One reader (back in the Navy) actually came to me with tears in his eyes after finishing it – which was bizarre. The original publisher bought it over a phone call from Crete (two weeks after I finished it and sent it to him) but – as noted above – he never published it. I have had the odd reaction from several that this book renewed their faith, and others have asked the (kind of silly) question "Did you make up the Book of Judas… or can I get that somewhere?" (Yes, I found a long-lost text that explains that there were vampires in Jerusalem… the church has (of course) suppressed this)
8. Have you ever considered doing anything similar?
Define similar? I'm currently writing a novel titled "Jurassic Ark" wherein Noah is building a great boat in the desert. There are dinosaurs, and the people of the city nearby believe he is crazy. This could have been a comedic story, but is turning into something much more similar to This is My Blood, without vampires. There are Elohim and very, very old men – the aforementioned dinosaurs – the point of it is to sort of show how ridiculous the notion of a 6000 year old earth with living dinosaurs would have been, but along the way it gathered substance, and the characters started to matter… and just like with This is My Blood, I've heavily researched Noah's family, the Ark, and all the notes on his family in the book of the Great Space Fairy.
I wrote On the Third Day where I explored what might happen if a priest actually experienced the Stigmata … how the Church might react, how others might react… how the world might treat it…
I wrote "The Grails Covenant Trilogy" for White Wolf where a vampire is on a quest to find the Holy Grail…
There are similar themes in a lot of my books… not all, by any stretch, but many. Even in Deep Blue – my big book, Stephen King and Dean Koontz style supernatural thriller, there are elements of spirituality and explorations of odd Christian folklore.
9. What appeals to you about vampire fiction?
People always ask questions like this about vampires, horror, etc. Nothing in particular. I write the stories that occur to me – I never (ever) set out to write "a vampire story" or a "horror novel" – I just write what moves me in the moment. Vampires are familiar modern icons – they are characters people are comfortable with now in ways they were not in Stoker's time… The one thing I will say (and I wrote a very short story about this once) is that the thing that I wonder about with vampires is … after so many years… so much experience… how do they fight off the boredom? I also explored that in the Grails Covenant Trilogy with a character named Kli Kodesh who spent his years creating intricate puzzles and games for others to live out to keep from going even madder than he already was.
10. Do you recommend any other vampire stories?
I have read a lot of other vampire novels that I loved. George R. R. Martin's Fever Dream, The Golden by Lucius Shepard, Lost Souls by Poppy Z. Brite, Vampire$ by John Steakley (Still cracks me up, that name for a vampire novel author) – Dracula, of course, and Christopher Golden's Of Saints and Shadows. For humor, it's hard to beat Bite Club by Hal Bodner, or your own Straight Outta Fangton, but as I've said in other parts of the interview… those are novels that have vampires in them, and not necessarily "vampire novels" in the traditional sense. If the fact there is a vampire or vampires is not the central plot, for me, the vampires just become accepted characters.
11. What are some other books you have written you'd like to recommend?
Well, I recommend them all, of course. The problem with a question like this is that I've written in so many genres. For Horror I have This is My Blood, Deep Blue, Ancient Eyes, On the Third Day, Maelstrom and others, for Science Fiction I have Star Trek, Stargate, The Second Veil, and more, fantasy and urban fantasy fans might prefer my "Donovan DeChance" novels, and fans of southern or gothic horror might like the Cletus J. Diggs supernatural mysteries.
I have a small stack of collections spanning 200 plus short stories, and a book about baking pies… American Pies – Baking with Dave the Pie Guy – and even a political satire written with Patricia Lee Macomber- Remember Bowling Green – The Adventures of Frederick Douglass -Time Traveler - where 80% of earnings go to the ACLU. It's a question, in other words, that requires perspective – knowledge of the particular reader. Then, of course, I've written a lot of books for White Wolfand their World of Darkness – mostly medieval vampires, but also in their worlds of Wraith and Exalted.
12. Do you have any upcoming new works?
Next in print will be my historical thriller The Orffyreus Wheel, already available in eBook and audio. I'm currently writing five books… A Midnight Dreary- Book V of the DeChance Chronicles, the aforementioned Jurassic Ark, a serial killer thriller titled Tattered Remnants, a writing / memoir non fiction book (also mentioned in the above rambling) Writing What Hurts – and a photo / meme / lol book with my dog Gizmo – Everything I needed to know about Dogs I Learned from Being One.

Erik Cleveland in Hawaii
"Beef and milk production on Hawaii has several advantages over its counterpart on the mainland. We can keep our cattle out on pasture eating fresh forages year around."
These are the words of Erik Cleveland who is a professor and researcher at the University of Hawaii in Hilo, the county seat of the island of Hawaii.
Cleveland tells us that there are quite a number of farms and ranches on the island. "Vegetables, fruit, and flowers are grown all over the island. Most of the land is devoted to cattle ranching—mostly to raising beef cattle. Many of the ranchers get a good price when they sell their calves to the mainland and Canada as soon as they are weaned. However, it seems very wasteful to ship our calves to feedlots on the mainland when they could be grown out here in Hawaii on grass. Grass fed beef has some health benefit over grain fed beef."
Outside all year
Because of Hawaii's mild climate, the cattle can graze outside all year. The average cattle farm has 20 to 100 animals, but some ranches have many more. The largest is Parker Ranch, founded by one of the first immigrants in 1809, with its 17,000 cows.
What about goats and sheep on the island?
"On many of the ranches and small farms, they also have sheep and goats for meat production. Goat meat is popular among the Filipino population on the island," Cleveland says. "Only a few of these farms produce goat milk, and there are two farms that produce a light colored goat cheese."
There are only a few hog farms on the island, and there are even two farms with North American bison!
Among other things, Erik Cleveland has also researched methods of alleviating and preventing the deadly fly strike in sheep and also hoof rot in both goats and sheep.

NgModules are simply TypeScript classes decorated with the @NgModule decorator imported from the @angular/core package.
Modules provide a way for developers to organize their code and they are particularly helpful for managing large apps.
and [RouterModule](https://angular.io/api/router/RouterModule) for providing routing mechanisms to your Angular application.
Each Angular module can contain components, directives, pipes and services and may be lazy loaded by the router.
You Angular application has at least one module which is called the root module. You need to bootstrap the root module to start your application.
Now, let's create the admin CRUD interface for listing, creating, updating and deleting the portfolio projects.
The components, directives, and pipes that belong to the module. In our case, the four component that we created i.e ProjectListComponent, ProjectCreateComponent, ProjectUpdateComponent and ProjectComponent.
The components, directives, and pipes that we want to export. In our case, none.
The services that we need to use. In our case none.
CommonModule is a built in module that exports all the basic Angular directives and pipes, such as [NgIf](https://angular.io/api/common/NgIf), [NgForOf](https://angular.io/api/common/NgForOf), [DecimalPipe](https://angular.io/api/common/DecimalPipe), etc.
The bootstrap array which specifies the component(s) to bootstrap.
In this tutorial, you have grasped the concept of NgModules in Angular , you have created the admin submodule of your portfolio web application and the various components of the submodule which are needed to create a CRUD interface for creating and manipulating your portfolio's projects.
In your next tutorial, you'll be adding routing in your admin module using a nested router outlet and child routes.
