Q: Crashing on loading gallery adapter for recyclerview Edit: After JonR85's answer it returned the image adapter but now after returning the inflated view it crashes the application

I have been trying to setup a recyclerview in a fragment(which first is inflated then assigns the objects(recycler view and the text view) in the class that constains the image with the recyclerview and ask for permision but somehow just when it loads the recyclerview it closes the application(apparently crashes at

Paul Manafort, Rick Gates indicted by federal grand jury
You are here: Home / Uncategorized / Paul Manafort, Rick Gates indicted by federal grand jury
President Trump's former 2016 campaign chairman Paul Manafort and Rick Gates, Manafort's former business associate, have been indicted by a federal grand jury in the investigation into Russian meddling in the U.S. election, according to unsealed documents released Monday. And another Trump campaign aide, George Papadopoulos, has pleaded guilty to making false statements to the FBI as well. That statement had to do with the nature of his relationship with "certain foreign nationals whom he understood to have close connections with senior Russian government officials."
The 31-page indictment against Manafort and Gates contains 12 counts including conspiracy to launder money, conspiracy against the U.S., unregistered agent of a foreign principal, false and misleading statements surrounding the Foreign Agents Registration Act , false statements and seven counts of failure to file reports of foreign bank and financial accounts.
Between at least 2006 and 2015, Manafort and Gates worked as unregistered agents of the government of Ukraine, and took in tens of millions of dollars in come, the indictment noted. The pair laundered the money through "scores of" U.S. and foreign corporations and bank accounts in order to hide their Ukraine payments from U.S. authorities, the indictment says. They funneled money through accounts in Cyprus, Saint Vincent, the Grenadines and the Seychelles, all while falsely and repeatedly reporting to the U.S. that they had no foreign bank accounts, according to the indictment.
Manafort enjoyed a "lavish lifestyle" in the U.S. using his "hidden wealth" overseas, the indictment says, and he did not pay taxes on that income. He spent "millions of dollars on luxury goods and services" and purchased multi-million dollar properties in the U.S.
More than $75 million flowered through offshore accounts operated by Manafort and Gates, the indictment says. Manafort, specifically, laundered more than $18 million and Gates transferred more than $3 million from the offshore accounts to other accounts he controlled, it said.
For the first count of conspiracy against the U.S., the indictment says that Manafort and Gates "knowingly and intentionally conspired to defraud the United States by impeding, impairing, obstructing and defeating the lawful governmental functions of a government agency, namely the Department of Justice and the Department of the Treasury."
CBS News spotted Manafort entering the Washington Field Office of the FBI Monday morning after he left his apartment in Alexandria, Virginia with his lawyer. Manafort was approached by CBS News but declined to comment. CBS News reported Friday that the grand jury used by Special Counsel Robert Mueller approved the first charges stemming from the investigation. The indictment was under seal over the weekend. It was unsealed Monday after the defendants surrendered themselves to the FBI.
Manafort served as campaign chairman of Mr. Trump's presidential campaign from March until August of last year. The FBI raided his home over the summer, even picking the lock while he was at home asleep.
Later Monday morning, the special counsel's office released another statement, saying that George Papadopolous, 30 years old, of Chicago, Illinois, "pleaded guilty on Oct. 5, 2017, to making false statements to FBI agents, in violation of 18 U.S.C. 1001." His case was unsealed Monday and a sentencing hearing will be scheduled at a later date.
Papadopoulos, previously an adviser for Ben Carson's presidential campaign, graduated with a bachelor's degree in 2009 and a master's degree a year later. He was advising the Trump campaign on foreign policy. Among the honors he listed on his LinkedIn profile was his position as U.S. Representative at the 2012 Geneva International Model UN.
Manafort, Papadopoulos and Carter Page, another campaign adviser, all joined Mr. Trump's campaign in March 2016.
CBS News' Jeff Pegues reports that this signals a new phase in the Russia probe and CBS News' Paula Reid adds that Mueller is trying to make a statement by moving quickly and aggressively.
In September, The New York Times reported that federal prosecutors had planned to indict Manafort. CBS News confirmed that month that Manafort had been wiretapped under a foreign intelligence warrant in connection with U.S. concerns that he was communicating with Russian operatives who wanted to influence the American election. The warrants were issued before Robert Mueller was appointed as special counsel to take over the investigation from the FBI.
Who is Paul Manafort?
Paul Manafort is a lobbyist and political consultant who worked across numerous presidential campaigns, most recently stepping in as chairman of Donald Trump's successful 2016 presidential campaign. Manafort came on board the Trump campaign in March 2016, but resigned in August 2016 as his connections to former Ukrainian president Viktor Yanukovych came under press scrutiny.
Manafort was a founding partner of Black, Manafort & Stone, a lobbying firm he set up in 1980 with Roger Stone, another on/off Trump advisor and notorious political operative. The firm lobbied in Washington D.C. on behalf of leaders like Congolese strongman Mobutu Sese Seko, Filipine president Ferdinand Marcos, among others.

Massive Category 4 Typhoon Dujuan strikes Taiwan
Infrared image of Typhoon Dujuan on Sunday morning eastern time. The storm has a large, calm eye surrounded by a solid wall of powerful thunderstorms.
Image: NOAA
By Andrew Freedman 2015-09-27 13:08:17 UTC
UPDATED Monday 8:45 a.m. ET:
Typhoon Dujuan made landfall as a Category 4 storm a bit south of its predicted landfall location, in Yilan County along the island's northeast coast. The storm slammed coastal areas of northern Taiwan with winds gusting to at least 150 miles per hour, based on weather observations and storm chasers who were in the area at the time.
According to Twitter reports, the community of Su'ao Township was particularly hard hit by strong winds. Meanwhile, in Taiwan's mountains, torrential rain is falling and will continue to do so through Monday night local time.
More than two feet of rain is expected in some areas.
5:40 pm. Some of worst wind I've ever seen. Whiteout. Swirling. Screaming. Trees still up waved like mad, then disappeared in it. #DUJUAN
— Josh Morgerman (@iCyclone) September 28, 2015
Because of the southward jump in the storm center as the storm made landfall — a movement that was likely related to frictional forces the storm encountered as its circulation slammed up against the mountainous terrain of north central Taiwan — Taipei was spared the worst winds from the storm, but it is still seeing strong winds and heavy rain.
UPDATED Monday 3 a.m. ET:
Typhoon Dujuan continued its Category 4 intensity into Monday afternoon local time in Taiwan. With torrential rains and crashing waves battering the northeastern coast, thousands were evacuated from Taiwan's Green Island and Orchid Island.
Landfall is predicted at around 11 p.m. local time (11 a.m. ET).
In the morning in Taipei, the typhoon had maximum sustained winds of 140 miles per hour, or 63 meters per second, though this may be a slight underestimate.
Heavy rain from the influences of the storm was already falling in parts of Taiwan as Monday dawned.

Typhoon warnings as well as warnings for heavy rainfall, which will bring with it the risk of landslides and flooding, have been issued for much of Taiwan, where mountainous terrain squeezed more than 50 inches of rain out of a typhoon earlier this season. The strongest winds and worst coastal flooding is expected to occur along and to the north of where the storm's center comes ashore, while flooding rains can be expected across the entire island.
As of Sunday morning, the storm was the equivalent of a Category 4 hurricane, with maximum sustained winds of 140 miles per hour, or 63 meters per second. It was still intensifying, and may peak near 150 miles per hour in intensity, which would make it a super typhoon.
The storm is likely to weaken to Category 3 or back to Category 4 intensity before it hits the northeast coast of Taiwan, with the potential to produce widespread wind damage, mudslides and flooding from heavy rain as well as a powerful storm surge, depending on the angle with which it approaches the coast and the timing of landfall.
The storm will also affect the southern Ryukyu Islands of Japan, which have been pummeled by multiple typhoons so far this year.
Taiwan is used to encounters with typhoons, and so far this year the island has been buffeted by at least three other typhoons. Typhoon Soudelor, which made a direct hit on the island nation, dumped upwards of 50 inches of rain, leading to major flooding.
Because of Typhoon Dujuan's slow movement — it was moving west at just 8 miles per hour as of Sunday morning eastern time — it too threatens to produce flooding rainfall as well.
In addition, the storm has a large eye at least 40 miles in diameter, surrounded by a solid ring of towering thunderstorms. Such typhoons, which are distinguished from storms that have smaller eyes and a more narrow "eye wall" of storms surrounding the storm's center, are known as annular tropical cyclones.
They can be more resistant to rapid weakening than more ordinary typhoons, according to WeatherUnderground.
The timing of the storm's landfall in northern Taiwan looks to be during the overnight hours on Monday local time, with the peak of the storm coming during the day on Tuesday. (Taipei is 12 hours ahead of New York.)

The Central Weather Bureau in Taiwan says there is an 85 to 90% chance that areas in northern Taiwan, including Taipei, Keelung and Yilah will see sustained winds stronger than about 40 miles per hour. (In this case, the actual winds are likely to be significantly stronger than that.)

— Anthony Sagliani (@anthonywx) September 27, 2015
The Bureau has issued typhoon warnings as well as warnings and advisories for heavy rain across northern Taiwan, including Taipei.
Once the storm passes Taiwan, it is forecast to emerge over the South China Sea as a moderate typhoon, and make its final landfall along the coast of Fujian Province, China.

ALS-linked gene causes disease by changing genetic material's shape
Complete the form below and we will email you a PDF version of "ALS-linked gene causes disease by changing genetic material's shape"
Johns Hopkins researchers say they have found one way that a recently discovered genetic mutation might cause two nasty nervous system diseases. While the affected gene may build up toxic RNA and not make enough protein, the researchers report, the root of the problem seems to be snarls of defective genetic material created at the mutation site.
The research team, led by Jiou Wang, Ph.D., an assistant professor of biochemistry and molecular biology and neuroscience at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, reports its finding March 5 on the journal Nature's website.
Two years ago, researchers linked the gene C9orf72, named for its location on the ninth human chromosome, to amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), commonly known as Lou Gehrig's disease, and to frontotemporal dementia (FTD).
In ALS, motor neurons — nerve cells that carry messages from the brain to muscles — degenerate and eventually die, which gradually paralyzes the patient. In FTD, neurons in the frontal and temporal lobes of the brain die. Some scientists think the same genetic and biological processes cause both disorders, but with very different symptoms, depending on where in the brain they occur.
The mutation in C9orf72 is called a hexanucleotide repeat expansion, a six-letter "word" of DNA repeated over and over, in a part of the gene that doesn't contain instructions for making any proteins. Although it's normal to have up to 20 such repeats, some people with ALS or FTD have dozens or even hundreds of them. Studies show the mutation is likely responsible for 4 to 8 percent of cases of sporadic ALS — the kind that isn't necessarily hereditary — and, in some groups, up to 40 percent of the kind that is.
To learn how the repeated sequence causes disease, the Johns Hopkins scientists looked at the structure of the DNA that makes up the gene and the RNA that carries its instructions. Although DNA and RNA are generally seen as long strands, they can bunch and curl to make 3-D structures.
Working with DNA and RNA they made that bore the six-letter "word" repeat, the researchers figured out that both were forming structures called G-quadruplexes. In these formations, guanines — called "G" for short, one of the letters in the repeating DNA "word" — link up, making stacks that stick together like tiny shelves. The RNA also forms other shapes in the repeating section — hairpins and bulges. The researchers speculate that the G-quadruplexes and other structures might be getting in the way of the nucleic acids' normal functions.
The researchers also found that when the cell is making a new strand of RNA based on the C9orf72 gene, it often fails partway through, filling the cell nucleus with pieces of RNA that don't work.
Wang and his colleagues say the broken, clumped RNA molecules appear to be the villains in the diseases caused by the repeated DNA. They counted the proteins that bind to the "bad" RNA and came up with a list of 288 different proteins that are stuck to RNA and are not doing their normal jobs.
One of the proteins that binds to the bad RNA is nucleolin, a protein involved in making ribosomes, which build proteins. The researchers found that in brain cells from healthy people, nucleolin was in the part of the cell nucleus where it should be, where ribosomes are made. But in cells from people with ALS, the nucleolin was scattered all over the nucleus. This suggests that the repeats may also be sabotaging the important functions played by RNA-binding proteins such as nucleolin, Wang says.
It's still possible that C9orf72's product — the protein it codes for — will turn out to be important. "It could be simultaneous — bad RNA accumulating, plus you're losing some of the protein itself," Wang says. But, he says, this study shed light on how the gene affects both RNA and protein and causes disease.
"The findings described in Dr. Wang's paper open up a new pathogenic mechanism for ALS and FTD by providing insight into the biology associated with the C9orf72 mutation and identifying a potential path forward for therapy development," says Margaret Sutherland, Ph.D., program director at the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, one of the study's funders.

Brecksville author pens third self-help book
By Kim Scott-Sowinski
After sequestering herself in a room at her lake house in Vermillion this summer, Brecksville resident JJ DiGeronimo finished her third book, "Seeking: 74 Key Findings to Raise your Energy, Sidestep YourSelf–Doubts, and Align with Your Life's Work."
The 50-year-old award-winning author, speaker and podcaster has accomplished so much over her career, but still felt empty. "I decided to do some seeking of who I really was and why I was here. The universe has an amazing way of pulling out the rug from under you, whether it's your job, your relationships, your kids."
Her first two books are "TheWorkingWoman'sGPS" and "AccelerateYourImpact:Action–BasedStrategies to PaveyourProfessionalPath."
"Seeking," available in November, helps people to take steps and action on plans and ideas they have been sitting on for so long.
DiGeronimo, founder of Tech Savvy Women and Together We Seek, said she wrote her latest book to connect with women 40-60 years old who have already accomplished so much in their lives but are still asking themselves, "Now what? What is this for? Why do I feel alone?"
"I tapped into what was needed to make this book into a tool with 52 chapters to be used more like a workbook," she said. "I put 74 key findings in the book because they were all nuggets I wish I had earlier in my life. I am thrilled to package it up for other women so they can take what resonates with them and run with it."
Self doubt, DiGeronimo said, is the biggest challenge for every woman she has met in conference rooms for a long time.
"I've discovered so many talents left at the door to a society structured with a masculine energy," she said. "I feel the world needs more feminine knowing, collaboration, understanding and connection with nature and I think the time is now."
A mom of two teenagers with a very supportive husband, DiGeronimo advises women to continue working on their careers and keep cultivating the steps necessary to get to those leadership positions.
For self-care, DiGironimo recommends energy works, learning, listening to podcasts, practicing meditation, walking with friends and doing things that bring her back to what matters.
"[What matters] is being right here, right now," she said. "Listen to the wisdom within. The whispers calling you to do things you know you should be doing, but don't know how to do it. Go to the book and learn the strategies on how to do it."
"Seeking"is available wherever books are sold. Connect on any social platforms @ JJDiGeronimo, or TogetherWeSeek.online. ∞

Anthony Garner November 24, 2020 November 24, 2020 Literature
Above you will find the audio version of Chapter 2 of The Traveler. I fear there are a few mistakes and I have made no effort to edit the track. And so, apologies. If ever a publisher should care to have me repeat the reading, perhaps he would be generous enough to provide a specialized recording studio and professional editors!
The text is set out again below for any who may wish to follow as they listen.
Some kilometres long and a couple in breath and height, the long, sleek behemoth appeared gunmetal grey. Though the exotic arrangement of its atomic structure made for a material not to be found in any periodic table of natural elements.
Invincible? Yes, perhaps it was, designed by a species so far advanced as to make them unapproachable by mere mortals. That it was heavily armed was not in doubt. A planet or even galaxy buster like the Good Ship Lollipop was likely to invoke uncomprehending terror in any it came across, but its object was stealth not destruction. Its awe-inspiring weaponry was designed for protection not offence, and the object was to move undiscovered through the eternity of space and time. Conquest was not the object of the Guardians. Members of the ascended races returned to improve not to subjugate and when they housed their minds once again in the trappings of matter, it was for missions of mercy they came. There was nothing they themselves lacked.
It is true that occasionally one of the ascended would defect to the dark side. One such styled himself Lucifer. Named after a legendary angel kicked out of an imaginary heaven for misdeeds unspecified, and rebellion against the head honcho of that make-believe realm, Lucifer did little damage to anyone other than himself.
Largely such oddballs had no quarrel with the Guardians or others of the ascended races. Despite ascension, they were simple misfits who hadn't yet quite worked out their raison d'etre. Or rather that they did not actually need one.
It was the great unwashed of the material world which needed policing. The unenlightened, as they were known. The plodding dullards who used their energies and enthusiasms to acquire possessions of which they had no need and to commit cruelties and atrocities to satisfy the baser instincts they had been saddled with.
Hestia, Aeolus and the Lollipop's avatar sat on deckchairs in a dappled meadow inside the hull of the spaceship, with breath-taking views through the transparent walls of the ship to the planet below.
To refer to Lollipop (as he was familiarly known) as an artificial intelligence would be a mistake, as well as not entirely polite.
That he was supremely intelligent and quite the equal of his Guardian companions was beyond doubt. As to artificial, that was a long-outdated concept. Ascension was open to all highly developed intelligence tired of the material realm. Sentience was just that – awareness, the ability to think and act and to reflect on reality in all its glory.
Many of the Guardians were descended from "wetware", biological goo, which in time they had ditched in favour of energy and force fields. The ship's AI and all like him were instead descended from silicon-based life forms which began to emerge long ago from ancient computational equipment. There was little now to choose between those who had evolved "naturally" and those who had evolved only after a little technical help from an earlier race.
Nonetheless, those who came long ago out of silicon tended to retain something of an affection for their origins. They usually chose to run complex machinery in the material world rather than deal directly with primitives. If, as occasionally happened, they tired of their hobby, they would disappear back to re-join the other ascended races for a few eons of quiet contemplation in the "gaps". As they sometimes called the ascended realms.
"Are we agreed then, on the order of the day?" asked Aeolus.
"Indeed, we are" replied Hestia, "A mystery play for simple people, a miracle shall there be to convert the heathen." She always waxed a bit lyrical and was fond of lapsing into god-speak as she termed it. As a student she had enjoyed studying the myths and legends of backward worlds.
"As they may one day write" she went on "She danced in the morning, When the world was begun, And she danced in the moon and the stars and the sun, And she came down from heaven and And she danced upon the earth, At Alomkik she had her birth".
"Witty, very drole indeed" quipped Lollipop "Perhaps that is how it will be seen".
"To action then" cried Aelous, springing from his chair and leading them to the bridge of their mighty vessel.
Down below, all was progressing as might be expected as they prayed and sung to the savage Dybbuk.
A procession of several hundred grey garbed men of the priestly class led the people round the city, adding followers to their throng at each street corner.
Statues of the almighty Dybbuk were showered with dried rose petals as they weaved in an out, round and round, singing his praises.
There were lyres and lutes, crumhorns and drums and all manner of early musical treats.
"Praise him with clashing cymbals" intoned the priests, "Praise be to Lord Dybbuk and all his mighty works" replied the crowd. "Praise him in the highest places, praise him with the Harp and the Lyre."
Graven images were clearly back on the menu on this little planet and at each corner stood a terrifying monster carved out of wood, or crudely cast in bronze.
In form, Dybbuk had the lower half of a well-endowed bull, while his torso and head resembled that of a man, albeit with a horned forehead. Scaly wings at his back completed the effect. Recalcitrant children would cower at night as parents used the threat of this terrible deity to coax disobedient minors.
If anyone had ever actually caught sight of Dybbuk in the flesh, no one had ever recorded such an event.
How did such myths seed themselves then, in these undeveloped minds?
Research collected over many years and thousands of elementary peoples suggested the origins were usually a vision, generated in some perhaps by drugs or in others through epilepsy or some other form of illness. On occasion, deep meditation was said to have produced dreams of eternal and blissful realms. Some saw beauty and happiness, others terror and despair.
The recipient of divine revelation would spread the good news of a celestial entity prepared to intercede in the lives of miserable sinners, and soon enough a new religion was born. A priestly cast would usually spring up to intercede on behalf of the people. Places of worship were built, funds were donated and before you knew it, it was time for a crusade to punish heretics. And to burn a few non-believers at the stake while they were at it.
The original "revelation" was usually some pleasant nonsense about peace and plenty for all, but it inevitably became corrupted and debased.
That is the way of primitive superstition and unevolved species. And as always, the ruling elite would claim a supernatural ally. Church and state. Kings ruling by divine appointment. All the fun of the fair.
And so it was that at last the procession of whining flutes and honking crumhorns reached the west gate of the Cathedral. Ceremonial blades were swung through the air as the slaves cowered before their inevitable fate. Dybbok was a jealous god and someone had to pay for it.
As the slaves vented their bowels in terror, the crowd started to notice all was not going quite as they had expected. The graven images roundabout had started to melt. Those of cast bronze trickled to the ground like so much candle wax, while those of wood began to smoke as small flames crept up from bullish hooves to the goat like horns on the head.
And suddenly a darkness descended. A vast shadow overhead blocked the daylight and the crowds began to wail. Doubtless it was their infidelities which had brought such terror down upon their heads. Was it their adultery perhaps, or their failure to provide sacrifices? Should they have prayed more and better?
Something was amiss. Would the walls of the city collapse? Would they be consumed by fire or drowned by great wave? For theirs was a wrathful god easy to anger, as generations of floods and famines, plagues and pestilence gave ample witness.
A silence took hold of the people and then the mood began, steadily and quietly, to lift. From the great shadow of the spaceship above, rays of light began to emerge from the white clouds which cloaked it. Soft ethereal tones drifted down, voices of beauty seemed to sing, quite unlike the harsh noise usually associated with Dybbuk.
A great chariot of fire appeared from the clouds, drawn by two snow white and winged horses, driven by a larger version of his human form than that The Traveler usually presented. Gone now was the eternal black, to be replaced by robes of pure white. Symbolism at work.
Hestia emerged from the gates of the palace having shrugged off the last vestiges of her uncomfortable stay in the dungeons and was now also clad in symbolic white from head to toe. Hellion shuddered as he saw her approach and realised with considerable discomfort that he had punched well above his weight with this one.
"I am Hestia" she announced to the crowd, "protector of the meek. Know my name". Aeolus stifled a giggle as he watched her walk to Hellion's side and engage the attention of the trembling king.
"Release the prisoners" she said "and mend your ways, fool". Hellion had locked her up a few weeks back having failed to appreciate her suggestions on penal reform and a crude welfare system.
A swarm of nanobots descended from the Lollipop and set about spraying the air with mildly hallucinogenic drugs to encourage an atmosphere of stupefied adoration.
The bots set about healing frightened minds, patching cuts and bruises and administering medicines to the diseased and sick. They filled the bellies of the hungry but more importantly perhaps, they had been programmed to sew the seeds of improvement in these primitive minds. In some they planted ideas for better sanitation, in others knowledge of herbs which could help cure disease. They spread little tips of all sorts which would return to these people in the coming days as "inspiration", apparently springing from nowhere.
Ecstasy spread as the crowd inhaled the feel-good factor spread by the bots. Generations would revere this day, and some would write texts detailing these wondrous events.
"Remember this day Hellion" said Aeolus with a look on his face which did nothing to betray the levity he could barely restrain.
How often had he and Hestia put on such a display of miracles. How mixed were the results. Sometimes their efforts heralded an axial age where sages ruled and there was peace for a while. At other times, once the tyrant was over the initial shock, it was business as usual. How today's little charade would play out was anyone's guess, but the Guardians were gentle guides who hoped to promote better times, even if it took many thousands of years and several action replays.
The prisoners were released and trundled their way out of the City gates towards their homeland. The Cathedral of Dybbok subsided with a roar and the grounds trembled. In the rubble rose a vast tablet of stone, many metres wide and over 50 in height.
On that tablet were a few rules the Guardians hoped might hit home. Simple stuff, really and all about being a good egg. Stealing your neigbour's goods or sleeping with his wife were big "no nos". There was also a bit of good psychology about the destructive nature of jealousy and greed being a waste of time.
"I shall return, my people. Keep well my ways."
Sad to relate, sometimes the return trip got postponed or delayed for some reason or another, leaving embarrassed believers to invent excuses and fight off sarcasm from their more worldly compatriots. Guardians eventually made up for their oversight, but a lot could happen in a few thousand years and sometimes they just left it too late. A meteor strike had obliterated the whole planet in one case. On another rocky outcrop, the dominant local animals had wiped each other out with chemical weaponry run amok. Elsewhere, some newly industrialised race had poisoned the atmosphere and felt hurt and puzzled as life slowly fizzled out on the planet.
Oh well, such mistakes were unfortunate but even the superhuman Guardians couldn't be in two places at the same time.
In a well-rehearsed script, Hestia hopped onto the chariot beside Aeolus and the mechanical winged horses pulled them back up to their mysterious cloud in the sky. Swarms of nanobots followed, glittering in the rays of light still beaming from the spaceship.
Another day, another job. A gentler religion planted, another Parousia promised."

Just excellent reading, writing, and imagination. Superlative attention to detail. Fantastic breadth. My only misgiving was, again, the idea that heaven is imaginary. I would be more than happy to bet my last dollar that it is not. But that would not be a fair bet because I have more than enough reason to believe. More than enough.
On that note maybe you should do A Christmas Carol! It might be just what the doctor ordered! 🤣
Also curious… what are your main sci-fi influences in lit. and TV/film?
I partic. liked the idea of the bots. I had a similar nighttime dream once. But the bots in my dream flew overhead like electric butterflies and zapped people with laser-style stun rays if they literally deviated from permitted walking areas.
Let's hope it never gets to that!
Very kind of you. I don't know if you have ever read Frank Tipler or Telihard de Chardin? Both talk of an Omega point where man ascends to godhood. That is very much what I have in mind in my novel. Man reaching godhood through technology. And to have ascended beyond the physical realm to a place free of want and terror is my idea of heaven. A very different from from yours no doubt! You are very generous with your comments and I am so pleased you are enjoying what I have written.
The way I see it, we have the realm of matter/energy which somehow intersects with but remains qualitatively different from spirit. And as I have said elsewhere, spirit has its own variations.
For me the Holy Spirit stands alone (and above) and cuts through all the other fields, environments and presences. I think you at least intellectually understand my perspective, which is good. That's prob partly why we can talk so amiably.
Btw, I meant what I said about your writing. I do not know if it is the flavor of the month in the publishing world, but you have nothing to lose by doing some preliminary investigations… 😊

'Wanted' helmer Timur Bekmambetov directs 'Moby Dick' re-imagining
'Wanted ' helmer Timur Bekmambetov will direct a re-imagining of Herman Melville's whale tale 'Moby Dick'.
Adam Copper and Bill Collage will pen the screenplay described as a graphic novel-style version will significant structural changes.
"We wanted to take a graphic novel sensibility to a classic narrative," said Collage explaining the omission of the first-person narrator by the young seaman Ishmael, who observes how Ahab's obsession with killing the great white whale overwhelms his good judgment as captain.
According to the scribes, the change will allow them to depict the whale's decimation of other ships prior to its encounter with Ahab's Pequod, and Ahab will be depicted more as a charismatic leader than a brooding obsessive.
"Our vision isn't your grandfather's 'Moby Dick,' " Cooper said. "This is an opportunity to take a timeless classic and capitalize on the advances in visual effects to tell what at its core is an action-adventure revenge story."
Scott Stuber is producing with Jim Lemley and Cormac and Marianne Wibberley.

First responders, emergency departments, harm reduction workers, recovery support specialists, and many others are joining forces to offer support, counseling, and services to persons who survive an overdose.

Law enforcement agencies across the nation are grappling with how to respond to the growing number of opioid overdoses in their communities. Many officers are now carrying naloxone, which saves lives and provides people an opportunity to consider seeking treatment services for their substance use. Many law enforcement agencies are also developing or supporting overdose follow-up programs that allow agencies to revisit the person and provide them treatment based information. Learn more.
Regional trainings for post-overdose response teams are offered throughout the state and listed here. These trainings are sponsored by the NC Office of Emergency Medical Services in partnership with the NC Division of Public Health.
Learn more about law enforcement responses to the opioid epidemic.
Across the state and across the country, emergency medical response (EMS) systems are adapting their response to the opioid epidemic. While the first duty of an EMS worker is to respond rapidly and resuscitate the victim of an overdose, many EMS systems are going beyond "respond and resuscitate" to embrace strategies that connect overdose survivors to treatment and recovery services. Similar to "community policing" efforts, these strategies are often called "community paramedic" programs.
For example, the Guilford County Solution to the Opioid Problem (GCSTOP) offers follow-up visits to overdose survivors in an effort to connect them to treatment and address other needs.
Learn more about GCSTOP.

Like EMS systems, Emergency Departments are rethinking the way interact with opioid overdose survivors. The North Carolina healthcare providers recently embarked on the Emergency Department Peer Support Pilot Project – an innovative effort that brings peer counselors into hospital emergency departments to connect overdose survivors to treatment, recovery, and harm reduction services.

Schwarzenegger's multi-sport event in Ohio bars fans over coronavirus
Reuters Sports News
(Reuters) – This week's Arnold Sports Festival in Columbus, Ohio, will carry on with 22,000 athletes but spectators have been barred from all but one event due to concerns over the potential spread of the coronavirus, officials said on Tuesday.
The March 5-8 multi-sport festival, established by and named after world-renowned bodybuilder, actor and former California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, attracts athletes from 80 nations competing in over 80 events.
Ohio Governor Mike DeWine and Columbus Mayor Andrew Ginther held a joint news conference to announce the changes and were joined via telephone by Schwarzenegger.
"One thing that is very clear to us is that the coronavirus is dangerous," said Schwarzenegger. "We would never chose making money over people's health."
The coronavirus outbreak has prompted the cancellation or postponement of numerous major international sporting events and raised concerns about the upcoming Tokyo Olympic Games.
A trade show associated with the event was also cancelled and spectators will only be allowed to attend Saturday's Arnold Classic World Bodybuilding Championship finals.
The multi-sport festival, which began in 1989 and was expected to bring 250,000 people together, consists of events including bodybuilding, fencing, gymnastics and many more.

I started visiting the bean cup coffeehouse on Indy's South side after I saw some fellow twitterers mention it as a great place for a cup of joe, networking, or just to hang out and relax. The place indeed scores well for all 3 criteria. The coffee is fresh and not the usual brew found in the local chain stores. For such a hidden location, the place has a lot of clientele and usually a few folks hanging around to socialize with or network. Or, it is a good place to grab a comfortable chair and read a book. Here's info and location details: thebeancup.com. Also check out my review at Indyrave! And note - they have performances on Saturday nights by groups like Indyprov.

What is Psychosomatic Medicine?
The Happiness Edge: More Cheer, Less Gloom Over Time Linked To Better Health
By American Psychosomatic Society
Contact: Emily Willroth, PhD
For Release: Immediately
It's well-documented that happier people tend to live healthier, longer lives than more miserable adults. Of course, our happiness levels can shift over time, and there's little evidence for how these changes may affect health and the risk of dying.
Scientists include three separate qualities in measuring happiness: "positive affect," which is being cheerful, in good spirits, peaceful, full of life; "negative affect," feeling very sad, that everything is an effort, restless, nervous; and satisfaction with one's life. But there's also sparse research on whether all three qualities are driving the link to health and mortality or if just one or two might be the only key factors.
Now a large, long-term study finds that all three aspects, as well as how they change over time, independently predict how healthy people will be and may be linked to how likely they are to survive. The study, published ahead of print, will appear in a forthcoming issue of Psychosomatic Medicine, journal of the American Psychosomatic Society.
U.S. participants, part of the nationwide MIDUS study, were 24 to 74 years old at the outset. They were asked specific questions about their positive affect, negative affect and life satisfaction, as well as their health, every nine years in three waves starting in 1995-96. The 3,294 people still available for the last follow-up in 2013-15 were study participants. A Japanese sample also was studied using the same questions, starting in 2008, with 657 adults still present for the final follow-up at 2013-15. Then scientists tracked mortality reports for study participants in 2018.
The results were similar for Japanese and American adults. "Being happy and becoming happier over time predict better health. And each of the three components makes a unique contribution. It's not just one of them driving this. The more you have of positive affect and life satisfaction, the less of negative affect, the better off you are. There's an additive effect on health and mortality," says study leader Emily Willroth, PhD, Post-Doctoral Research Fellow in Medical Social Sciences at the Feinberg School of Medicine, Northwestern University.
Scientists speculate that happiness confers benefits for physical health by promoting healthy behaviors—taking needed medication, eating a healthy diet, exercising. More cheerful, calm and satisfied adults also may be at lower risk for cardiovascular disease and enjoy stronger buffering from stress than those immersed in sadness or anxiety. Though it seems plausible that happiness leads to better health and longer survival, other unmeasured factors might explain the health improvements and lower risk of death, Willroth cautions.
Amid this sad and frightening era of COVID-19, "it's important for individuals and policymakers to consider that people's well-being can be just as important as physical health. In fact, our happiness also matters for physical health," says Willroth. And even though many of us are physically separated from others who are dear to us, "maintaining relationships in whatever ways we can is very important for our health at this time."
