Q: I have a trouble with looking into the read() function code defined in  I am now trying to understand how read(2) function works by looking into the actual code implementation and first, I try to see how it is defined in #include  header file.
In that file, I found this :
ssize_t  read(int, void *, size_t) __DARWIN_ALIAS_C(read);

And then, I googled to find the actual read() function declaration.
And,
https://github.com/lattera/glibc/blob/master/io/read.c
I found this. In this code,
/* Read NBYTES into BUF from FD.  Return the number read or -1.  */
ssize_t
__libc_read (int fd, void *buf, size_t nbytes)
{
  if (nbytes == 0)
    return 0;
  if (fd < 0)
    {
      __set_errno (EBADF);
      return -1;
    }
  if (buf == NULL)
    {
      __set_errno (EINVAL);
      return -1;
    }

  __set_errno (ENOSYS);
  return -1;
}

And here is my questions now.

*

*what is __libc_ before read ?
why is it needed? And when user calls read(2), how this function can be called?

*The way I see it, this code has nothing to do with reading the buffer from file descriptor, rather it has only the code dealing with the possible errors : fd < 0 or buff is NULL , etc.
So, where is the code actually implement the actual function of read(2) function?
Am I look and found in the wrong way or source?

A: read (and, traditionally, all of the functions defined in "section 2" of the Unix manual -- that's what that (2) means) is a system call.  That means most of the work is done by the operating system kernel, not by code in your own process.  The C library only contains a system-call wrapper that executes a special instruction that transfers control to the kernel.
The code you found is a placeholder, not a system-call wrapper.  As you surmised, it doesn't actually implement read.  It would only ever be used temporarily, in an incomplete port to an operating system that doesn't have a system call named read.  None of the complete ports in the C library you are looking at actually use that code.  They instead use a real system-call wrapper.  This C library automatically generates system-call wrappers at build time, so I can't link to actual code, but I can show you an example of what the generated code for a system-call wrapper might look like.  (Note: this is NOT the actual code used on any operating system I am familiar with.  I deliberately removed some complications.)
    .text
    .globl read
    .type read, @function
read:
    movl $SYS_read, %eax
    syscall
    testq %rax
    js .error
    ret
.error:
    negl %eax
    movq errno@gottpoff(%rip), %rdx
    movl %eax, %fs:(%rdx)
    movq $-1, %rax
    ret

I wrote this example in x86 assembly language on purpose, because there's no way to get the special syscall instruction from plain C.  Some C libraries use an "assembly insert" extension for the syscall instruction and write the rest of the wrapper in C, but for what you're trying to understand, the assembly language is what you should think about.
Inside the kernel, there's a special "trap handler" that receives control from the syscall instruction.  It looks at the value in %eax, sees that it is the system call number SYS_read (the actual numeric value may vary from OS to OS), and calls the code that actually implements the read operation.
After the system call returns, the wrapper tests whether it returned a negative number.  If so, that indicates an error.  (Note: this is one of the places where I removed some complications.)  It flips the sign of that number, copies it into errno (which is more complicated than just mov %eax, errno because errno is a thread-local variable), and returns −1.  Otherwise the value returned is the number of bytes read and it returns that directly.
The other answer links to an implementation of read but unfortunately it's from an OS kernel that's popular but complicated and difficult to understand.  And I regret to say I don't have a better teaching example to point you at.

The __libc_ prefix on the read placeholder implementation is there because there are actually three different names for read in this C library: read, __read, and __libc_read.  As the other answer points out, there's some special macros below the code you quoted that arrange for them all to be names for the same function.  The auto-generated real system-call wrapper for read will also have all of those names.
This is a hack to achieve "namespace cleanliness", which you only need to worry about if you ever set out to implement a full-fledged and fully standards compliant C library.  The short version is that there are many functions in the C library that need to call read, but they cannot use the name read to call it, because a C program is technically allowed to define a function named read itself.
Incidentally, you need to take care to look at headers and implementation code belonging to the same C library.  You appear to have the unistd.h from MacOS on your computer, but the read code you found belongs to the GNU C Library, which is a completely different implementation.  The basic declaration of read,
ssize_t read(int, void *, size_t);

is specified by the POSIX standard, so it will be the same in both, but the __DARWIN thing after that is a quirk of the MacOS C library.  The GNU library has a declaration with different quirks:
extern ssize_t read (int __fd, void *__buf, size_t __nbytes) __wur;

A: You are missing the important part of the posted code.
weak_alias (__libc_read, __read)
weak_alias (__libc_read, read)

It does not matter what prefix is used. This function __libc_read is used as a stub function of the system call read. If the linker does not find the system call read than the stub is used, that will return the error code ENOSYS.
Since read is the system call, you should search its implementation in the OS source files. The implementation depends on the file descriptor used. For example if read is called in Linux for the filesystem, the code of read is here: http://lxr.linux.no/linux+v4.15.14/fs/read_write.c#L566

Speak out now.
For more than four decades, politicians have pushed abortion out of reach for poor women, young folks, and people of color through the Hyde Amendment and other restrictions on insurance coverage for abortion care. We're rising up to say enough is enough and it's imperative that we elect lawmakers in Nevada who are ready to do the same.
Before you head to the polls, make sure you have the information you need to vote BOLDLY. Find out where your candidate stands on abortion coverage with these 3 questions:
1. Restricting Medicaid coverage of abortion forces one in four poor women seeking an abortion to carry an unwanted pregnancy to term. Will you support efforts to lift bans on Medicaid coverage for abortion care?
2. Bans on abortion coverage force people to delay care, stop women from getting abortions, and push people deeper into poverty. Will you oppose attempts to add or expand restrictions on insurance coverage for abortion care?
3. Ensuring that a woman can get insurance coverage for the full range of reproductive health care is an important part of ensuring that she has equal economic opportunities. What actions will you take to help ensure women and families can be healthy and live with dignity?
Join us for more opportunities to take action.

Puerto Rico's tropical climate and fertile soil makes it possible to grow a wide variety of produce all year around, and yet the island reportedly imports more than 80 percent of its food. This is something the co-owner of El Departamento De La Comida (Department of Food), Tara Rodriguez, would like to see change, and she is leading by example with her organic food store in the neighborhood of Santurce, San Juan, where customers can enjoy fresh organic produce grown by local farmers.
Modern farming methods often rob the soil of nutrients, which are then replaced with chemical fertilizers, with more chemicals being used to control pests. This leads to fresh produce being laden with chemicals and lacking in flavor. Growing organically is beneficial for the soil, farmers and consumers. Using organic and companion planting principles, a variety of crops are grown together in the same field, thereby doing away with the need for toxic chemicals and artificial fertilizers. Farmers deliver their produce directly to the store and customers are assured of quality produce grown on the island they call home.
Customers are invited to speak to employees at the grocery store with regard to where and how the produce is grown, as well as for information on preparing healthy foods that don't harm the environment. To encourage customers to try new foods and to include a variety of fresh foods in their diet, El Departamento de Comida prepares 'harvest boxes' with a selection of fresh produce for the week which customers can order for delivery.
El Deparamento is located in a renovated warehouse where customers can choose their organic produce at leisure, and enjoy beautifully prepared dishes at the store. In addition to an appetizing array of fruit, vegetables, herbs and locally grown coffee, they also have books and literature on healthy eating and plenty of advice on how to prepare the ingredients they provide.
After studying and practicing architecture in New York, Tara Rodriguez returned to Puerto Rico where she now promotes growing food without damaging the environment. She also opened a social venue, El Local en Santurce, which is dedicated to promoting local talent and creative events. She is the head designer for El Molino Studio and co-owner of El Departamento de la Comida with her design partner Olga Casellas.
So, if you have the good fortune to be living in or visiting San Juan, be sure to spend some time in the Santurce neighborhood and enjoy the tasty delights at El Departamento de la Comida, knowing as you do that you are supporting local farmers.

Love is Just Damn Good Business
From the bestselling author of The Radical Leap and Greater Than Yourself comes the first book to directly address love as a hard-core business principle that generates measurable results. READ FULL DESCRIPTION
From the bestselling author of The Radical Leap and Greater Than Yourself comes the first book to directly address love as a hard-core business principle that generates measurable results It's time to toss aside the touchy-feely notions of love in business and acknowledge the real power that it holds. Love is not only appropriate in the context of business, it's the foundation of great leadership. To put it bluntly: love is just damn good business. That's the simple but profound truth that leadership consultant Steve Farber has discovered in his extensive work with Fortune 100 companies and other successful businesses. His game-changing approach to love as a practical business strategy will help you to: - Identify your passions--and share them with others
- Create a culture of love at work--and spark innovation, productivity, and joy
- Serve your customers, so they love how you treat them--and have them coming back for more
- Invest time in making personal connections--that are mutually rewarding
- Focus on serving the needs of others--they're going to love it
- Do what you love--and make it your business, so others love it, too The proven principles you'll find in this book will help you lay the groundwork for a thriving, competitive enterprise. When love is part of your organization's framework and operationalized in its culture, employees and customers feel genuinely valued. Employees who are passionate about the work that they do are more loyal, innovative, creative, and inspired, and that translates to great customer experience. They don't serve others out of obligation, but because of a genuine desire to improve people's lives. And when customers reciprocate by loving your products, your services, and your people, that's when something great happens. That's when you get loyalty. That's when you get raving fans. It's a refreshingly human way of doing business. In addition to Farber's field-tested strategies, you'll find inspiring case studies from a wide range of industries and leaders, revealing self-assessment quizzes, and practical pointers on how to build a corporate culture based on love, the ultimate competitive advantage.

I am an astronomy student from Lower Austria and an Open Source fan.
You are interested in @Matomo and live in or around Austria?
The come to the Grazer Linuxtage next Weekend!
Besides more than 60 other workshops and talks I'll be demonstrating Matomo for beginners and experts and will give you the chance to talk to other people interested in #Matomo.
I'm looking forward to seeing you!
I'm already in Vienna that early because I am travelling to Chemnitz to join the Linux Days there.
There is still many train stops ahead, but I'm already looking forward to it.
So you want to make your own analysis of the Austrian Radio station music selection or just want to find your favourite song again? Go to https://radiostats.lw1.at/ and browse through the collections of #Ö3, #Kronehit, #FM4, #RadioArabella, #Radio_Wien and more!
On the other end of the spectrum there is Radio Wien which didn't play a single song more than 83 times.
Another fun fact: Some songs have been played many times a day until suddenly from one day to the next it stopped nearly completely.
The most repetitive channel is by far Kronehit which has played many songs 1400-1500 times which averages to 4-5 times a day. If my calculations are correctly, they only played 831 unique songs this year.
But you can also find out what was the most played Christmas song in December 2018: It turns out it was "Driving home for Christmas" by Chris Rea (187 times), followed closely by "Last Christmas" by "Wham!" (170 times).
So you can just select your favourite channel, click on "Meistgespielete Lieder", select a date range and browse through the collection of all most played songs.
Find out when which song was most popular and which song just kept being played on repeat all the time.
Since middle of February, I have been recording all 1299515 times a song has been playing on Austrian radio stations.
This is such a huge milestone for us so we'd like to thank all people involved who gave feedback and supported this project.
"Google Analytics bietet uns sehr viel mehr Auswertemöglichkeiten"
You think about the #ÖBB websites whatever you want, but it is amazing that they are not making any kind of third-party requests and are using nothing apart from @Matomo for website analytics.
The software costs nothing if you self-host, and they also offer a paid hosted option for people who prefer it.
Unlike Google Analytics, Matomo's data stays entirely on the site that uses it. No one else has access to it, so there's no way for it to be aggregated across many sites.
#FollowFriday is here! Since we're new, do you guys have any suggestions for who, you reckon, would be good for us to follow?
I just setup peertube and it is incredible how easy everything works for such a new software.


10/10 A superbly made film in every way! I was stunned by the utter beauty and charm of this and the previous animated 'Tinkerbell' films a few years ago, with their introduction to the world of fairies.
Colours are dazzling and sumptuous, imagery is almost 3D in appearance (yet sharper), the stories are well thought out, and in this third instalment - 'Tinkerbell and the Great Fairy Rescue', Disney does not disappoint!
I can't enthuse enough about the 'Tinkerbell' films, as they do not have the frenetic, brash, sometimes over-the-top action sequences that many other animated films such as 'Tangled', and even the later 'Ice Age' films have. There are very exciting sequences however, but they are well balanced with other aspects of the film.
They also don't have any smart-mouthed characters that are to be found in some animated films these days, and whom in my opinion are not good role-models for young children.
I see a great many films of all genres, and I do not even have any children, but after I saw the first Tinkerbell film, I had found it so sweet and entertaining - and such a breath of fresh air in our often ugly world - that I bought the following films, and waited with anticipation to see them. Tinkerbell is so cute, (yet feisty) with a perfectly suited voice - that it makes you wish that fairies were real.
Indeed, one becomes utterly submersed in Tinkerbell's fairyland adventures for the entire duration of the film - so well executed is it. I would go as far as to say that 'Tinkerbell and the Great Fairy Rescue' is the best animated film I have ever seen. Shrek, Finding Nemo, Madagascar,(to name but a few) pale by comparison. It is THAT good!
If you have young children, and would like them to see completely innocent, thoroughly entertaining films with good values, you cannot do better than let them view the recent 'Tinkerbell' films. I'm very sure that you will enjoy them immensely too!
7/10 I'm not sure what makes Tinker Bell so irresistible to small children, but Disney managed to expand upon the Peter Pan mythos and flesh out Tink as an independent, curious, kind yet temperamental fairy.
This is Tink's third adventure, after Tinker Bell (2008) and Tinker Bell and The Lost Treasure (2009). This time, her native curiosity in how things work and her fascination with humans gets her in trouble and her friends must organize a rescue party, also a good opportunity for Vidia, the antagonist, to show her better side.
The production values are good but not incredible compared to Pixar movies or even to Disney's own Bolt; still, I doubt that any child will notice that Cheese's fur doesn't sway for example.
About the only thing that disappoints me is that the whole Disney Fairies franchise is more aimed at girls rather than boys, which is quite a shame, given Tink's personality.
Overall, it's a nice family movie. My 6 years old son loved it and that's all it matters.
Finally, a children's film that is worth seeing.
8/10 Out of the hundreds of films and shows my four year old daughter has seen there are very few that I would confidently recommend as perfect for a little girl. "Tinker Bell and the Great Fairy Rescue" is one of these. Totally inoffensive and absolutely stunning production qualities make this one of the most pleasant films I have seen for children for many, many years. I am totally lost why this little visual masterpiece has had such little promotion. I recently saw a mother take a group of little girls to see Tim Burton's Alice in Wonder land and it was disturbing to see so many of them upset by the film. How was the mother to know that this PG rated version of a traditional children's story was going to be that far off the mark for the girls to enjoy.
Maybe the title "Tinker Bell and the Great Fairy Rescue" makes it sound a little trite and lame but the actual film is totally beguiling and charming.
TINKERBELL FAIRY RESCUE has the absolutely most breathtaking visuals, computer driven but timeless and earthy in beauty and fantasy. This is a simple but clever and funny animated feature. And for little girls and their 56 year old daddies, there is a few tears and a lot of excitement to be shared. I really applaud the tone story and sheer gorgeousness of this utterly enchanting family film. TINKERBELL herself reminded me of 50s MGM Musical star and singing sensation Jane Powell at her most beautiful. What a success TINKERBELL FAIRY RESCUE is. If you were also gob-smacked at ARTHUR AND THE INVISIBLES' imagery that looked 3D but was actually 2D, then this too is for you and your family.

Bath Rugby Unseen | Episode 4: The set-piece contribution to our style
In the previous three episodes of Bath Rugby Unseen, we have referred to a style we want to play in the 2021/22 season with our defensive efforts forcing turnovers to transition into attack.
In Episode 4, we look at how line-outs and scrums will also present an opportunity for us to revert to our style on the field.
Lock Charlie Ewels said: "By definition, the set piece is how the game is restarted so something has happened before so it's an opportunity for us to again then to impose our style on the opposition.
"It's a big part of our job (as forwards); it's a big part of the momentum in the game as well. Obviously, you want to get the ball, you want to attack, you want to play with the ball; if it's your set piece, if you don't get your stuff right from the start and you don't get the set piece right you can't do that, it falls at the first hurdle.
"On the flipside of that, the opposition are trying to do the same thing. They want to get the ball out, they want to play and put pressure back on you so again if you can disrupt that at stage one and step one either by stealing the ball, the way that we scrummage, whatever that might be… it can give you massive momentum swings within the game."
So many intricacies go into both components of the game and coaches Luke Charteris and Mark Lilley are keen to use their particular area to boost the club's attacking style.
"Teams are starting to get a lot more creative in terms of what you can do from the line-out," line-out coach Charteris said.
"It's not just the trick plays around the five-metre line now; it's starting to be used as a weapon throughout the pitch. It's a good platform where you can control a bit more around how we launch, especially with the back five we've got. We want to launch those boys the best we can and put us in a great position."
Scrum coach Lilley added: "It's that bigger picture understanding of the game we want to play. We can't just isolate our scrum away from our game.
"It's about us understanding our style and making sure everyone understands that bigger picture philosophy and how that connects to our scrum."

Q: Scaling html/css images for different screen sizes? First time user, with a simple but frustrating problem.
I am a new web coder, designing my website (austinwoehrle.net)
I am trying to make the banner of Seattle scale with my darker background, but if I zoom in, it breaks out of the div.
On smaller monitors the image will be too large to fit in the darker background.
I have already set the width to 100% and have tried a lot of trouble shooting!
Thanks for the help!
Again, my website is http://www.austinwoehrle.net/homepage.html

A: At the moment you have this:

Change the width of your image to width="100%". This may then be slightly wider than you want it, so you will want to add margin or padding to the containing seattle div on line 126 of mystyle.css
width:80%;
margin:0 10%;

Then alter your image to have a width of 100% and remove the height.

Notes
 margin:0 10%;
 //is equal to writing
 margin-top:0;
 margin-right:10%;
 margin-bottom:0;
 margin-left:10%;

Check out this site for information on how to write this.

Biden Called Out After He 'Admitted On TV He's Breaking The Law' Over Student Loan Handout
Jon DoughertySeptember 21, 2022
President Joe Biden is receiving a lot of new pushback regarding his plan to reduce some student loan debt by executive action.
In an interview with "60 Minutes" that aired on Sunday, Biden was asked by anchor Scott Pelley: "Mr. President, first Detroit Auto Show in three years. Is the pandemic over?"
"The pandemic is over," Biden declared. "We still have a problem with COVID. We're still doing a lotta work on it. It's– but the pandemic is over. if you notice, no one's wearing masks. Everybody seems to be in pretty good shape. And so I think it's changing. And I think this is a perfect example of it."
Those remarks sparked an immediate backlash, with several critics focusing on the fact that Biden used special authority granted to the Executive Branch during the pandemic as justification for the student loan bailout, The Daily Wire reported.
"President Biden's declaration on 60 Minutes that the pandemic is over—which his administration also argued when ending Title 42 back in May—confirms the illegality of his attempt to transfer hundreds of billions of dollars of student debt to the taxpayer," National Review writer Charles C.W. Cooke tweeted. "Textually, the OLC's (Office of Legal Counsel) interpretation of the 2003 HEROES Act was preposterous from top to bottom. But even if one were to cynically ignore all that, the lack of an emergency would render the whole thing moot. Biden just admitted on TV he's breaking the law."
Noted Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.): "If 'the pandemic is over' as Biden says, then all of the President's emergency powers predicated on a pandemic, all COVID vax mandates, the emergency powers of every governor, Emergency Use Authorizations, and the PREP act should all be voided tomorrow."

Other critics took different views.
"THE MANDATES MUST END. IMMEDIATELY. ALL OF THEM," journalist Megyn Kelly tweeted. "And if they don't, new legal challenges must be filed ASAP."
In early August, despite the fact that COVID-19 infections were nowhere near the levels they were in 2020 or even 2021, the White House announced it was considering extending the pandemic emergency through the November midterm elections.
Citing three people with knowledge of the situation, Politico reported that the decision has not yet been finalized. However, if it does happen, federal measures protecting Americans' health care coverage, vaccine access, and treatments would be extended.
"COVID is not over," one senior Biden official told the outlet. "The pandemic is not over. It doesn't make sense to lift this [declaration] given what we're seeing on the ground in terms of cases."
If the proposed extension is OKed by President Joe Biden, the Department of Health and Human Services will keep the current declaration in place past the midterms and most likely into next year.
The outlet continued:
An HHS spokesperson declined to comment, and the people with knowledge of the matter cautioned the situation could still change ahead of an Aug. 15 deadline for deciding whether to let the declaration continue.
The Biden administration has increasingly pointed to the availability of Covid vaccines and treatments as evidence that Americans who are vaccinated and boosted can live with the virus in relative safety. But even with that new posture, many administration health officials remain wary of the message that ending the public health emergency declaration would send at a time when caseloads are topping 100,000 a day.
"It will end whenever the emergency ends," one senior administration official said, summing up the internal attitude toward the declaration.
That said, Politico noted further that "the debate around continuing the declaration…has grown more contentious."
"With vaccines and treatments widely distributed and no remaining expectation the administration can eradicate Covid, health officials over the last several months have increasingly discussed when that phase-out should occur, and what it should look like," the outlet reported.
Politico reported separately in mid-August that the Department of Health and Human Services plans to extend the emergency for another 90 days next month.

Chiesa di San Giovanni alla Guilla ist ein Kirchengebäude in Palermo.

Die Kirche wurde 1165 vom sizilianischen Großkanzler Matteo d'Ajello (Matteo da Salerno) gegründet. 1182 wurde sie Sitz des Malteserordens in Palermo. 1669 erfolgte die weitgehende Erneuerung des Baus, dem im 18. Jahrhundert weitere Umbaumaßnahmen folgten.

Seit 1960 ist San Giovanni Sitz der "Confraternita Maria SS. Addolorata e Christo Morto del Venerdi Santo". Vom romanischen Bau der in der Via Beati Paoli gelegenen Kirche ist der obere Teil der Fassade mit seinen Rundbogenfenstern erhalten geblieben. Der untere Bereich wurde zu Beginn des 18. Jahrhunderts im typischen Stil des sizilianischen Barock verblendet. Gerade dieser Fassadenteil befindet sich in einem schlechten Erhaltungszustand.

Das Innere der einschiffigen Kirche mit flacher Decke ist eher schlicht gehalten. Wertvollste Ausstattungsstücke sind zwei steinerne Sarkophage, von denen der Deckel des einen mit einer männlichen Liegefigur versehen ist.

Paris – The Civil Society Information Society Advisory Council to the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (CSISAC) today declined to endorse an OECD Communiqué on Internet Policy-making principles. CSISAC believes that the Communiqué, which was presented today at the OECD's High Level Meeting on the Internet Economy in Paris, could undermine online freedom of expression, freedom of information, the right to privacy, and innovation across the world.
The OECD Communiqué covers a broad range of current Internet-related policy issues. CSISAC supports many of the proposed principles, in particular, policies that support the open, interoperable Internet, and multi-stakeholder policy development processes.
The final Communiqué advises OECD countries to adopt policy and legal frameworks that make Internet intermediaries responsible for taking lawful steps to deter copyright infringement. This approach could create incentives for Internet intermediaries to delete or block contested content, and lead to network filtering, which would harm online expression. In addition, as has already happened in at least one country, Internet intermediaries could voluntarily adopt "graduated response" policies under which Internet users' access could be terminated based solely on repeated allegations of infringement. CSISAC believes that these measures contradict international and European human rights law.
The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development is an intergovernmental body that produces economic and policy analysis and promotes policies that will improve the economic and social well-being of people around the world. The OECD provides a forum in which its 34 member governments can work together to share experiences and seek solutions to common problems. Its reports and recommendations are highly influential and have formed the basis for national laws and policies in its member states.


A £4.2m scheme to plant one million trees over the next four years has been unveiled by the government.
It will see trees planted in urban areas of England that need them most, in the first government tree-planting campaign since the 1970s.
It aims to reverse declines in the rates in the number of trees being planted in towns and cities.
It will be led by Defra, alongside the Forestry Commission and organisations such as the Woodland Trust.
Trees for Cities and the Tree Council will also be involved in the Big Tree Plant scheme.
The Forestry Commission will provide £1m a year over the next four years, while £200,000 of existing London Tree and Woodland Community Grant money will also be used.
This is really very good effort by Government. Preserving our natural resources is very essential things now and trees are help us to preserver our environment, land and water. All nations must come together and start thinking about urban tree landscaping, I will call it urban forest. This is not only government responsibility but its also individuals responsibility to plant a tree around their home and garden.

LYING SIGNS AND WONDERS: UFOs Appear Over England and Mexico
(Reported By Jim Denison) An unidentified flying object made headlines recently when it appeared over southwest England, and a "flying saucer" was spotted last week over Mexico. Is your first inclination to believe that these were probably visits from outer space? Your answer may depend on whether you went to church last Sunday, but not in the way our culture expects. It's conventional wisdom that faith makes us less scientific and more gullible. However, research indicates the opposite: the
less religious people are, the more likely they are to endorse empirically unsupported ideas about UFOs. In addition, the Pew Research Center has discovered that those who attend religious services less than weekly are more than twice as likely to claim they have encountered a ghost. Writing for The New York Times, psychology professor Clay Routledge cites these studies to argue that those who are less religious still search for transcendent meaning, though in non-religious ways. He is undoubtedly right. READ MORE
