Dr. John Clarke - Baptist Minister, Physician, and Statesman
During our brief tour of the Baptist Freedom Trail, we found one name constantly recurring: Dr. John Clarke. We soon found out that this Baptist minister played a major role in the start of the Rhode Island colony, the beginnings of the first Baptist church in America, and the obtaining of the famous and crucial charter of Rhode Island. His life literally touched every part of our tour in Rhode Island and even Boston. Below is a brief biographical summary of this amazing man.
Dr. John Clarke
Baptist Minister, Statesman, Physician
Founder of Newport, Rhode Island
John Clarke was born October 3, 1609, in Westhorpe, Suffolk County, England, the sixth child of Thomas and Rose Kerrich Clarke. He attended the University of Leyden, in Holland, where he studied law, medicine, and theology.
In November of 1637, at the age of twenty-eight, Clarke arrived in the new world. He soon found himself in the midst of religious controversy. The absence of "freedom of conscience" prompted Clarke and others to seek a place where they could live peaceably together. With Dr. Clarke as a leader among them, they eventually settled on Aquidneck Island in the spring of 1638. There was founded the first government in the world to allow its citizens complete civil and religious liberty! This liberty was guaranteed by the Portsmouth compact, a document authored by Clarke. Also in 1638, Clarke founded a Baptist church which he pastored until his death. Clarke, with several other families, moved to the south end of the island and founded the town of Newport in 1639.
Dr. Clarke devoted his life to the cause of liberty. In 1651, he was arrested in Massachusetts for his Baptist Faith. He was jailed, tried without defense, and fined for preaching the Gospel. Later in 1651, he returned to England where he spent twelve years labouring to obtain a new charter for the Rhode Island Colony. He petitioned the king for the right to:
"Hold forth a lively experiment, that a most flourishing civil state may stand and best be maintained, and that among our English subjects, with a full liberty in religious concernments: and that true piety, rightly grounded upon Gospel principles, will give the best and the greatest security to sovereignty, and will lay in the hearts of men the strongest obligations to true loyalty."
In 1663, as a result of Clarke's labours, King Charles II granted Rhode Island their royal charter. This "lively experiment" was tried and proven in Rhode Island, and the principles of liberty which were first set forth here have become the basis of government for every state in the Union.
Clarke is known as "the Father of American Baptists," and has been called "the foremost diplomat of his time." His memory is deserving of lasting honour. He died April 20, 1676.
Marker placed by the Baptist History Preservation Society – May 6, 2003. Location: Newport, Rhode Island.
This memorial is placed beside the Clarke family burial ground in Newport (located right behind the Newport police station).

Josh’s Note: I have invited my good friend Craig Hood to write a series of articles on photography. You may be aware that Disney World’s theme for 2011 is, “Let the Memories Begin.” A big part of the campaign is capturing special moments on film. Craig’s articles will focus on making great photography accessible for those of us who don’t necessarily want to invest thousands of dollars on equipment (though that never hurts). Photography has long been an interest of mine and I’ve always wanted to learn how to achieve some of those effects that seem too complex at first glance. With Craig’s help, we’ll be able to improve our skills and catch those pesky memories with our cameras, nets, or whatever else he tells us we need.
Without further delay, let me turn you over to Craig:
For my very first photography article for easyWDW, Josh asked me to give a how-to for a particular aspect of photography he was interested in, so that’s what I’ll try to do. Let me start by saying that I’m not a professional photographer, so for any “pro’s” who may be reading this, take it easy. I’m just a guy with a little knowledge and a passion for photography and Disney. I know, dangerous combination. I’ve been somewhat interested in photography pretty much since I was a kid. Remember the old Kodak Instamatics? I’ve only been what I guess you would call a serious hobbyist for the last 3 years. I’ve decided that taking up anything as a serious hobby means spending a lot of money on equipment, because I have. Not that you have to, but I’m weak. As anyone who owns a dSLR (digital single lens reflex) camera knows, you absolutely can not have just one lens, oh no. For example, there’s that lens that you need because you absolutely can’t get the picture you want of that grave digger and his freakishly skinny dog in the Haunted Mansion, with that crappy kit lens that came with your camera. That’s what I told my wife. There’s always some little gadget, lens or better camera that will make your pictures infinitely better or allow you to take pictures that you could have never taken before, but that’s a different article. So, here we go.
One of the most talked about topics on photography forums today is HDR imaging, or High Dynamic Range imaging. You absolutely can do HDR and you don’t need a lot of expensive equipment, we’ll talk about what you need later. However, you do need a basic understanding of exposure which consists of shutter speed, aperture and ISO, as well as a little experience with photo editing software. So, if the terms “shutter speed”, “aperture” and “ISO” just made you say “what?” I recommend getting a book on dSLR’s or do some Google-ing before you read any further. I started with a book, Digital SLR Cameras & Photography for Dummies by David D. Busch and did a LOT of Google searches. You can learn this stuff on your own and get results that you’ll be happy with, it just takes time and a little effort. I did it, and if I can do it, anyone can do it. I found that I learned the most simply by reading the owners manual that came with my camera, taking pictures and just playing around with the settings on the camera. Go ahead and push those buttons, change all those settings and see what you get. Remember, it’s digital. It doesn’t cost a dime to press that shutter release. If you don’t like what you see, “delete” and try again.
Most everyone remotely interested in photography has seen an incredibly vivid, tack sharp image and said, “Wow! How did they do that?” I said it too. It’s a picture that seems to jump off the paper. You think to yourself “nothing I have taken has ever looked even remotely as spectacular“. E very part of the image is properly exposed, every detail is visible and clear. No blown out (completely white) areas, no dark or black areas that should be visible. The image looks almost as it would have if you had seen it with your own eyes, right? There you go, that’s the connection between an HDR image and what your eye sees. When you look at something with your naked eye, anything at all, your eye has the ability to properly “expose” every part of the image because your eye has a much higher dynamic range than a camera. From the brightest areas to the darkest areas and everything in between, even in weird lighting conditions, your eye sees a completely perfect image. Cameras aren’t that smart…yet.
Without getting too technical, via a lot of electronic technology, a camera takes in all the available light and tries to properly expose an image for all of those lighting conditions by adjusting the shutter speed, aperture and ISO automatically. The camera hopes to achieve a kind of happy medium. This is what all point and shoot cameras do, as well as dSLR’s when set to an “auto” mode. This is where cameras can struggle to take a properly exposed image when there are different levels of light sources and high contrast. Sometimes it gets it right, sometimes it doesn’t. Your main subject may look good, but other things in the image may be too light or too dark. Like the sky in the background that was a very vivid blue, gray, purple or whatever when you looked through the viewfinder, is now almost completely white in your image. Or the sky looks right and everything else in the image is too dark and barely discernible. This is where HDR comes in.
Now, here’s how it works. The most popular true HDR method is multiple image merging. This being a combination of multiple images at different exposures (in this case different shutter speeds) of the same subject that have been merged into one image via HDR software. It’s not just a mega-expensive camera taking those spectacular photo’s. It’s any camera with a “manual” setting, a tripod (or some way to keep the camera perfectly still) and image merging software. So, you will need a dSLR or a point and shoot camera with “manual“ mode, so that you can change the shutter speed manually. We’ll talk about the software in a bit. If you choose not to use a tripod and hand-hold your camera you may not be thrilled with the results. All HDR software aligns the images as part of the merge, but if you moved too much while snapping your pictures, well, the software can only do so much. I prefer the tripod method because it works, but that’s just me. Have you noticed that HDR photo’s are of objects that are not moving? Buildings, landscapes stuff like that. People and animals usually don’t work well as HDR subjects – we tend to move around a lot.
First, find your subject. Maybe that big castle at the end of Main Street that all of those people are staring up at – yeah, that one. Oh, a caveat, if there are people in the frame, your merged picture is going to look really weird. Those people are gonna be a bunch of blurry blobs. Remember the part about everything in your frame being still and how people like to move around? Anyway, mount your camera on your tripod or however you plan to keep it perfectly still and in the exact same position for each shot. You can release the shutter simply by pressing the shutter release button, or using your timer, but ideally it’s better to have a wired or wireless remote release. The less the camera moves the better your results. Now, you’ll want to take at least 3 images with each image having a different level of exposure. This is called “bracketing“. Three images is about the minimum. You can certainly take more and you may actually need to depending on the complexity of light in the subject you are trying to capture. More images = higher dynamic range; this is a good thing. If you do choose to take more exposures, just continue to increase your stops of under/over exposure with each shot. This is where you have to have some understanding of exposure and what a “stop” is. I could fill another article just on exposure, but here’s a quick explanation of a “stop”; if you’re shooting at a shutter speed of 1/50”, one full stop of under exposure would give you a shutter speed of 1/100”, two full stops would be 1/200” and so on. One full stop of over exposure would give you a shutter speed of 1/25”, two full stops would be 1/13” and so on. A “stop” is simply doubling the shutter speed for under exposure (less light), or cutting it in half for over exposure (more light).
OK, lets start shooting. You’ve got your camera on a tripod, or something stable and you’re ready to take your first shot.
1. Set for correct exposure of the main subject, take the picture, “click”.
2. Change your shutter speed by two full stops of over-exposure, take the picture, “click”.
3. Change your shutter speed again to two full stops of under-exposure, “click”.
That’s it, you’re done with the camera part of it, unless you choose to take more pictures. What you now have are 3 pictures – one that is exposed correctly, one that is underexposed, and one that is over exposed. By the way, changing each shot by 2 stops of exposure (shutter speed) is not a hard fast rule, it’s just what I usually do and it works for me. If you take more shots, you can certainly decrease each stop level. You can try more or less and see how it works. A lot of dSLR cameras have an auto-bracketing feature. This simply allows you to set your level of exposure and number of shots you want to take, in-camera. That way each time you press the shutter release, the camera makes the exposure change on each shot automatically. This keeps you from having to change settings manually between each shot. These are the 3 images I’ve just taken.
This photo is at 2 stops of under exposure (Click for full resolution)
This next photo is at correct exposure (Click for full resolution)
This last photo is at 2 stops of over exposure (Click for full resolution)
Now, you’ll need to have some type of photo editing software to merge those images into one after you upload them to your computer. Most photo editing bundles that you buy will have some type of HDR merging software. I personally use Corel Paintshop Pro X2 for photo editing, which they have recently upgraded to Paintshop Photo Pro X3. I haven’t bought the upgrade simply because the version I have does what I want it to do…for now. My version (X2) has a basic HDR merge function, that works okay for me. You simply drag and drop your bracketed exposures, the software does the merging and voila! If you don’t want to invest in software, most all photo editors have a free trial that you can download. There is also an HDR stand alone software out there called Photomatix. It’s designed specifically for HDR and has all sorts of bells and whistles. I’ve never used it so I can’t comment on it, but it seems to be the most popular. It’s not free, but there is a free trial version on their website. Even after merging the images, you still may want to play around with it to get the end result you want. Again, this is done through photo editing software.
Those spectacular photos almost never come straight out of the camera looking that way. They are always “enhanced” through the use of software. Just be careful with the “enhancing”. If you read much at all about HDR and look at a lot of HDR pictures, you’ll start seeing the word “cartoon-ish”. This is the word that’s used to describe HDR images that have a LOT of software enhancement. The images are so incredibly over the top with the saturation of colors that the crazy high contrasts take on a strange un-real look, kind of like…well, a cartoon. I personally don’t care for it, but hey, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
Here is the final product. The three images above are merged into one with some minor editing. Notice how the areas that were dark are now much more visible and detailed, as well as the areas that were completely white and devoid of color.
The Final Image (Click for full resolution)
So there you have it. Not saying it’s the end all be all right way, or the only way. It’s simply the way I do HDR and it works for me. Now get out there and capture the Magic!

Gateway Bank, F.S.B. - Wholesale - Agency, Jumbo, Alt-A, Home Equity, Subprime
We spoke with Sr. Vice President Mark Sussman, who told us most of the operations staff had shifted to correspondent and warehouse lending, the bank's fastest growing divisions. Less than five people were let go. The wholesale division had seen volume peak between $250 and $300 million per month, with recent volume dropping below $50 million. The decision to exit wholesale stemmed from preserving profitability. "You just can't do business at 3/8ths of a percent," Sussman explained. "The margins are just too slim."

While writing, reading and rewriting The Law of Creation I have come to realize some things. I believe I inherently know all this information. Everything rang true to me, and while it was very interesting and profound, I feel as if I already knew it. I think this is because it is inherent in all of us, but it is not our instinct, which is why we don’t live our lives according to these Laws. We live our lives trying to protect ourselves. Protect ourselves from pain. Everything we do is for us to feel good, and not get hurt. Well, I can tell you that there is a way to not feel pain, to not hurt! When you are feeling pain, anger, hurt, sadness or any one of the other fear-based emotions we suffer from, know that you are out of alignment with love. Be excited that the emotion you are feeling is guiding you to feel better. Thank it and feel better.
You see, when you are vibrating with love and gratitude, it is impossible to feel anything other than good! There is always a different perspective than your current reality. Find a different perspective and your world changes. How you perceive everything is up to you. You can live any reality you want and living a loving grateful reality is all it takes to be permanently happy. It is impossible for pain and hurt to reside in the same space as love and gratitude at the same time. Impossible.
Don Miguel Ruiz in The Mastery of Love explains that “Mastering a relationship is all about YOU. The first step is to become aware, to know that everyone dreams his own dream.” What he refers to here is the same as what books like The Disappearance of the Universe by Gary Renard and the script A Course in Miracles refer to – this reality is not real, we have created it by virtue of what we think and believe and is therefore likened to a dream, and each person’s dream is unique to themselves. No one’s dream can be exactly like our own. He further explains that once you know this you can then be completely responsible for your own half of the relationship, which is you. “If you know that you are only responsible for half of the relationship, you can easily control your half. It is not up to us to control the other half. If we respect [the other half] we know that our partner, or friend, or son, or mother, is completely responsible for his or her own half of the relationship. If we respect the other half, there is always going to be peace in that relationship. There is no war.”
When you know the difference between fear and love, you are able to become love. When you live love, you become clear in your communication. You begin to communicate your dream in a loving manner and everything around you responds accordingly. You are complete love. Nothing to protect. Nothing to worry about. Nothing to stress about. Just pure love. You begin to see the beauty around you. The beauty in everything. If you don’t see beauty (which is another form of love) in your enemy, then you are not vibrating with love. I’m going out on a limb here and using politics as an example as I think everyone can relate. If you do not see beauty in Donald Trump, then you are not vibrating with love. If you do not see beauty in Nancy Pelosi you are not vibrating with love. You see, if you are love, then you see the beauty in everything, because your love does not depend on the object of your love, your love is dependent on your state of being. So, whether the person or situation becomes different, or a friend turns to foe, does not matter, because your love is not dependent on anything around you, anything outside of you. Your love is a state of being. You simply love!
I really recommend the book The Mastery of Love by Don Miguel Ruiz. I had the book on my shelf for many years before reading it. It came to me when the time was right. It literally jumped off the shelf into my hands and once I started reading it, could not put it down. It was the catalyst to my fully understanding the statements: There is only love and fear. Everything we do is either motivated by love or it is motivated by fear. There is nothing else.

As a relationship and dating expert, one of the most common questions a lot of women ask me is: “How do I meet the man of my dreams?”
The answer to this burning question can be different for each woman who asks it, which I know is something rather disappointing to learn. Finding the right man is a journey specific to you, and you alone. Sure, you may find some similarities between your story and someone else’s, but when you really get down to it, the journey itself is unique. So instead of focusing on a fictional template to find Mr. Right, I propose to focus on the journey through working skills I believe most women need to find the man of their dreams.
The 5 Essential Skills for Finding Love
The stage where you find yourself in your journey right now will also determine how you can best approach meeting Mr. Right.
Try to be honest with yourself about any problems you might have or the area you are struggling in, such as being completely open to a new relationship. It’s the first step towards addressing the problem and beginning the healing process.
Look for these essential skills in yourself. See if they’re present, or if they need any work or extra effort.
Patience is a virtue not everyone possesses. Waiting can be hard when you feel like you’re ready for a committed relationship, but nevertheless, you have to be patient. Many women will jump into just any opportunity that presents itself, even ignoring major deal-breakers just because they are afraid of ending up alone.
But that will just take your journey on a detour away from Mr. Right. And do you want to be tied to Mr. Wrong when the perfect guy actually turns up?
Think about it this way: maybe your one and only is tied up right now in a dead-end relationship that just isn’t over yet. When he is free, maybe he’ll be on the market only for a few months before he’s committed again. Men who are really looking for the real deal don’t last long on dating sites. Or, maybe he just lost his job and doesn’t have the confidence right now to go out and date. He needs some time for himself.
And you need the patience to actually find him.
Knowing if you’re ready can be tricky. Sometimes, you can feel like you’ve been ready for a long time, yet still haven’t crossed paths with him. Take a close look at your past problems, and be objective.
Do you know what qualities you look for in a man? Can you recognize which are the good guys who want a commitment, and which aren’t? Do you need some outside help figuring this stuff out and creating a dating strategy?
It’s a lot harder to find the man of your dreams if you’re not actually ready for him, meaning you haven’t worked on your issues when it comes to dating.
Some women can have an almost cartoony expectation of who their ideal man is. Is that you? Because this is simply unattainable.
You need to make sure that what you want from a man is actually possible in the real world, with real mean. If you want a guy with tons of money, movie star good looks… is that guy in your league? Do you even have the opportunities to encounter a guy like that in your day to day life?
Many people want to date someone who’s better looking than they are – we just gravitate easily to these people. But when it comes to dating, this strategy may end up setting you up for guys who won’t commit to you because focusing on how hot he is, and how much chemistry you two have can make you neglect the important stuff. Like, is that a man you can love for the rest of your life?
You can find a guy who seems right for you, but somehow the relationship just isn’t clicking. He may check every item on your list, but something just feels off in your dynamic.
But have you decided, rather too soon, that he’s the one and are now just doing everything you can to make it work? Maybe you two aren’t a match, at least not a good one for the long-term. Make sure he is a quality man who can genuinely make a commitment to you. Make sure he shares your values. Make sure your priorities are actually there.
And finally, we have honesty. It’s critical to be honest with yourself about which of these skills still need some work, and which may even be obstacles in the face of finding happiness.
This may just be the most important skill on the list. If you’re not willing to face the music and work on the things getting in your way, your journey to Mr. Right will be a bumpy one, at best. You’ll be sabotaging your progress without even realizing it.
And I know, it’s not easy to be objective with yourself. But if you’re not sure you can do it on your own, ask a friend or family member to help you, or even talk to a therapist.
Ready to meet the man of your dreams? What do you think may be standing in your way?

Naxalites may up ‘extortion rates’
The deadly attack on a police party by Naxalites in Gadchiroli on Sunday was more than just a show of strength by the rebels, reports Pradip Kumar Maitra.Updated: Feb 04, 2009, 14:53 IST
The deadly attack on a police party by Naxalites in Gadchiroli on Sunday was more than just a show of strength by the rebels.
It was a calculated attempt to hike the “protection money” extorted from tendu leaf contractors.
The tendu leaf is a forest produce that goes into the making of a beedi.
Those in the know said Naxalites collect more than Rs 15 crore from Gadchiroli, Gondia and Chandrapur districts alone during the plucking season that begins in April and ends by June.
Requesting anonymity for fear of elimination by the left-wing rebels, they said the Naxalites of the Communist Party of India (Maoist) also collect a sizeable amount of money from forest and road contractors.
They said the Naxalites charge paper mills, which collect bamboo from Bhamragarh and other remote areas of Gadchiroli, vast sums in protection money.
“The violence that killed 15 policemen has sent a signal to all those concerned that the protection money will go up,” an observer of the Naxalite movement said on Tuesday.
Others who had tracked the ways of the Naxalites agreed with the assessment.
They said Maoists are expected to collect about Rs 25 crore from tendu leaf contractors alone this year and buy arms with most of it.
The state government had scrapped the contract system of tendu leaf collection in the 1990’s and entrusted the task to the Forest Department to stop the flow of money to the Maoists.
But the Forest Department was not up to the job and state revenues fell, forcing the state government to restore the system of auctioning forest beats to contractors.

"ooker International organizers announced 2021's longlist Tuesday morning. Unsurprisingly, Adania Shibli's Minor Detail, translated from the Arabic by Lissie Jaquette, was on the 13-book list."
The ten fictional works that made the 2020 longlist are surprisingly diverse.
"For my grandmother, her father was a martyr in the glorious battle of Annual. She convinced herself of this, and she believed it."
Today, The New Yorker announced the ten-book longlist for the "Translated Literature" category of the 2019 National Book Award.
The finalists include two novels translated from Arabic.
Moroccan poet, memoirist, and translator Abdellatif Laâbi and Palestinian novelist Sahar Khalifeh have both been named finalists for the 2020 Neustadt International Prize for Literature.
You can cast your vote on the festival's website.
Ruqaya Izzidien's "The Watermelon Boys," published by Hoopoe/AUC Press as part of their move into English-language fiction, is one of seven books on the Betty Trask shortlist.
The £50,000 prize for the winning book, set to be announced on May 21, will be divided equally between its author and translator.
"So, the most decisive situation is when I read something and think: I cannot stand for someone else to translate this, it has to be me."
Two of the thirteen books chosen for the 2019 Man Booker International longlist are translations from Arabic, on a longlist dominated by smaller and independent publishers.
"They chose to support a children's book series from Jordan; a novel about a Sudanese woman whose lover goes to Syria to join ISIS; a Lebanese novel that centers on a company that specializes in romantic revenge; and a historical Palestinian novel focused on the lives of three women."

SEC chairman Gary Gensler made important statements regarding the long-discussed cryptocurrency regulations. Gensler made important comments at the SEC Speaks panel at the Practical Law Institute.
One of the most important topics in Gensler's speech was about regulations. The head of the SEC stated that they support the regulations until the end, but the new crypto money law should not ignore the power of the SEC. Stating that many players in the cryptocurrency markets are exchanges, brokerage houses, clearing firms and custody companies, Gensler said:
"Whether in the cryptocurrency markets, whether they call it decentralized or centralized, these types of companies can be separated from each other as well as serve the same as the securities markets. All of these brokerages need to register with us, the SEC."
Speaking about Bitcoin and Ethereum on the subject of regulations, Gensler stated that he will support the regulation of these two cryptocurrencies by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC). Gensler recently stated that he views Bitcoin as the only non-security cryptocurrency. The head of the SEC did not comment on Ethereum.
Gensler also touched upon the issue of stablecoins, which has been much discussed in the last year in the USA. The SEC chairman stated that investor protection is very important in this area as well, and used the following statements:
"How the stablecoins' balance to the dollar is created matters. Facts and functions decide whether the asset is a security or not, not its label."
Reserve Bank of India prepares for CBDC trials with public banks
Although the Indian government does not impose a legal status on cryptocurrencies, it will collect 30 percent tax from citizens of countries investing in cryptocurrencies. In addition, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) is in talks with fintech companies and 4 public banks to start trials for the Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) project before the end of this year.
One of the central bank's advisory firms, Fidelity National Information Services (FIS), is a CBDC to help nations try out CBDC initiatives alongside centralized infrastructure payment solutions to develop or update real-time payment systems, according to a press release on Aug.

A nano-scale solar cell inspired by the coaxial cable offers greater efficiency than any previously designed nanotech thin film solar cell by resolving the "thick & thin" challenge inherent to capturing light and extracting current for solar power, Boston College researchers report in the current online edition of the journal Physica Status Solidi.
The quest for high power conversion efficiency in most thin film solar cells has been hampered by competing optical and electronic constraints. A cell must be thick enough to collect a sufficient amount of light, yet it needs to be thin enough to extract current.
Physicists at Boston College found a way to resolve the "thick & thin" challenge through a nanoscale solar architecture based on the coaxial cable, a radio technology concept that dates back to the first trans-Atlantic communications lines laid in the mid 1800s.
"Many groups around the world are working on nanowire-type solar cells, most using crystalline semiconductors," said co-author Michael Naughton, a professor of physics at Boston College. "This nanocoax cell architecture, on the other hand, does not require crystalline materials, and therefore offers promise for lower-cost solar power with ultrathin absorbers. With continued optimization, efficiencies beyond anything achieved in conventional planar architectures may be possible, while using smaller quantities of less costly material."
Optically, the so-called nanocoax stands thick enough to capture light, yet its architecture makes it thin enough to allow a more efficient extraction of current, the researchers report in PSS's Rapid Research Letters. This makes the nanocoax, invented at Boston College in 2005 and patented last year, a new platform for low cost, high efficiency solar power.
Constructed with amorphous silicon, the nanocoax cells yielded power conversion efficiency in excess of 8 percent, which is higher than any nanostructured thin film solar cell to date, the team reported.
The ultra-thin nature of the cells reduces the Staebler-Wronski light-induced degradation effect, a major problem with conventional solar cells of this type, according to the team, which included Boston College Professors of Physics Krzysztof Kempa and Zhifeng Ren, as well as BC students and collaborators from Solasta Inc., of Newton, Mass., and École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne, Institute of Microengineering in Switzerland. The research was funded in part by a Technology Incubator grant from the Department of Energy.

Adam Zagoria covers basketball at all levels. He is the author of two books and an award-winning journalist whose articles have appeared in ESPN The Magazine, SLAM, Sheridan Hoops, Sports Illustrated, Basketball Times and in newspapers nationwide.
For the better part of a decade, St. Anthony and St. Benedict’s never played one another even though they are located eight miles apart in North Jersey and were both perennially at the top of the national rankings.
But it wasn’t Bob or Dan Hurley who objected to the matchup of high school superpowers.
“It was only at Mrs. Hurley’s behest we weren’t playing the game,” Bob, the Naismith Hall of Fame coach at St. Anthony, told SNY.tv by phone.
Now that Chris Hurley’s son, Dan, is coaching at Wagner College, St. Anthony, ranked No. 6 in the Five Star Basketball Power Rankings, and St. Benedict’s will meet for the first time in more than a decade when they face off in the New Year’s Jump Off Jan. 1 at Hackensack High School (7:30 p.m.).
“The kids who come to St. Benedict’s love to play the best competition available and to them, this is why they come to St. Benedict’s,” first-year coach Mark Taylor told SNY.tv.
“They come to St. Benedict’s to play the best teams in the nation and to be in that environment and to rise to the occasion and there’s no one better to play than St. Anthony.”
The other three games on the bill feature Hackensack against Dwight Morrow, Teaneck taking on St. Patrick and Plainfield versus Hudson Catholic.
Taylor said St. Benedict’s is also slated to play St. Patrick and first-year coach Chris Chevannes in the PrimeTime Shootout Feb. 12 at Kean University.
St. Patrick was ranked No. 1 nationally for most of last season before falling to St. Anthony in the North Non-Public B title game before a capacity crowd of more than 8,000 fans at Rutgers.
“We have some big games, no question,” Taylor said. “Those are going to be some of the better games this year and that’s what we want.”
St. Anthony and St. Benedict’s finished the 2007-08 campaign ranked 1-2 in several major national pools, when both Mike Rosario of St. Anthony and Samardo Samuels of St. Benedict’s were named McDonald’s All-Americans.
St. Anthony now features 6-foot-8 Kyle Anderson, the No. 1 point guard in the Class of 2012. He is set to announce Sept. 20 for either Seton Hall, St. John’s, Georgetown, Florida or UCLA.
Under Hurley, the Friars are coming off their second perfect season (33-0) and second mythical national championship in the last four years.
St. Benedict’s features junior point guard Tyler Ennis of Canada and is attempting to return to the top of the national rankings under Taylor. The Gray Bees stumbled to a 13-12 record last season under Roshown McLeod.
Bob Hurley said his team used to regularly play St. Benedict’s prior to the Dan Hurley Era, when Hank Cordero and Jack Dalton coached the Gray Bees.
“We used to play them pretty regularly,” Hurley said. “I coached against Jack a very long time ago, and then Hank was there right before Danny.”
Hurley said he doesn’t recall ever losing to St. Benedict’s, and Taylor said he never beat Hurley when he coached at Ridge or St. Joe’s Metuchen.
“In real games, we never beat them,” Taylor, who coached NBA players Jason Williams and Andrew Bynum in high school, said of the Friars.
This year, St. Benedict’s also features Isaiah Briscoe, an incoming freshman who was ranked the No. 1 eighth-grader in New Jersey and was named the Co-MVP of the HoopGroup Rising Sophomore All-American Camp this weekend.
Now Briscoe will finally get a chance to play against one of his heroes, Anderson, with home he teamed at the End of Summer Classic.
“I want to get the win and defeat the top player and team in the country,” Briscoe told Alex Kline.
“I just hope we don’t lose,” Anderson told Kline.
The Gray Bees have a Canadian connection with Ennis and forwards Isaiah Watkins and Denzell Taylor, all of the powerful CIA Bounce AAU outfit. Ennis this weekend led Team Canada to the finals of the Nike Global Challenge, where they fell to Team USA Midwest.
St. Anthony, meantime, lost Myles Mack to Rutgers, but won the 64-team Hoop Group Team Camp at Albright College.
“We won the thing and we won it without playing either Jimmy Hall or Rashad Andrews, who are both Division 1 players,” Hurley said. “We had Kyle and a group of juniors. The whole group of juniors, as many as five of them, will surprise people this year, how good they are.”
Hurley said Anderson, forward Jerome Frink and 6-4 point guard Josh Brown “are going to start, and the other jobs are open for competition.”
Now, after a decade in which St. Anthony and St. Benedict’s couldn’t meet because of the Hurley connection, Dan Hurley plans to make the game on New Year’s Day.
“I wouldn’t miss that for the world,” Dan Hurley said. “Hopefully, we’re not playing the same day.”

IoT for Industrial & Manufacturing
Simple real-time location & condition monitoring of equipment & employees.
Within manufacturing operations, there are several processes that are critical to the overall success of the organization. Key amongst these are – Asset Tracking, Employee Optimization, and Asset Condition Monitoring. iDevise provides solutions for all three of these processes using the same infrastructure, thereby keeping costs low and optimizing for the entire operation.
Asset Tracking & Visibility
Breakthrough RTLS (Real-Time Locating Systems) lets you know where your assets (equipment or people) are, at any given instance, regardless of whether they are in a single location or multiple locations. This sophisticated technology not only tracks in real-time but also with great accuracy – within one-meter, and in and out of user-defined geo-fences, leveraging a simple, cost-effective architecture. Path history, heat maps, and predictive analysis can be used to track history of movement, thus bringing significant insights into your environment, whether it’s a complex manufacturing environment, an airport, or a large-scale retail environment.
Remote Condition Monitoring for Motors, Conveyors & Pumps
In most manufacturing environments, few, if any pieces of rotating equipment (motors, drives, gearboxes, etc) are being monitored for predictive maintenance. The few pieces of equipment that are being monitored typically are the most expensive assets in a plant and are rarely the only assets that can cause a line to shut down.
The reasons that more assets aren’t being monitored is simple – using legacy technology is prohibitive when attempting to monitor.
Condition Monitoring (CM) dramatically changes this. Condition Monitoring is a low-cost, wireless, remote condition-monitoring solution that provides vibration and temperature data in real-time. Data is collected and sent through our CM beacon and WiFi gateway to the cloud where it is analyzed. Our cloud-based AI learns the unique baseline vibration behavior for each asset on which the beacon is installed, and generate alerts when this vibration behavior changes significantly, which can often time be indicative of a change in asset health state. Feedback is provided to the user to enable proactive maintenance, inspections, and operations decisions.
Connected Coolers & Refrigeration Monitoring
Our Connected Cooler solution is a remote, real-time solution that provides significant data about and around commercial/operational coolers, refrigerators and vending machines. The solution comprises of BLE beacons with sensors that are placed in the units and are connected to our cloud solution, via a SDK on an app or through a Bluetooth to WiFi gateway. The real advantage to using the Connected Cooler solution is in its ease of installation. The ‘stick and go; installation requires the beacons to be stuck to a flat surface on the cooler, refrigerator or vending machine and the WiFi gateways can be plugged in to an A/C outlet.
Click here to see how the same hardware infrastructure of the sensor beacons and WiFi gateways can be used for a multitude of use cases:Asset Control: Alerts when the cooler is moved from its location, predictive analysis allows for scheduled maintenance thereby reducing downtime and enabling timely restocking. Technical Diagnostics: Monitors motor & compressor health, and provides recorded and real-time temperature conditions. Sales performance: Provides the ability to measure footfalls, dwell time analytics around cooler and restocking from tracking traffic to cooler as well as count the number of door opens. Consumer Engagement: Engages consumers with POS campaigns using Bluvision’s CMS and beacons that reaches multiple users – both android and iOS simultaneously. Further, the solution also supports coolers, refrigerators and vending machines that are being refurbished or new ones that are going into the field. The data and insights can be accessed either through a mobile app accessed by the field personnel, or through our cloud solution.
Employee Visibility & Workplace Optimization
Optimal asset performance is often the difference between profits & losses and success & failure. Whether the assets are vending machines, pallets of expensive repair parts, a promotional endcap within a retail store or employees within your workforce. In all of these situations, iDevise is able to help capture millions of events around these assets and make this information available in meaningful formats through our our Cloud solution. This information enables you to both – reduce costs by reducing inefficiencies and increase revenue by taking advantage of opportunities.

WASHINGTON D.C. (Worthy News)– "Social Security is insolvent," Boston University economics professor Laurence Kotlikoff told the House Subcommittee on Social Security at a hearing on Capitol Hill Tuesday. "And it's not bankrupt in 30 years, or 20 years, or 10 years. It's bankrupt today," CNS News reported.
"This is not my opinion. This is the only conclusion one can draw from Table IVB6 of the 2013 Social Security Trustee’s Report."
"This table reports that Social Security has a $23 trillion fiscal gap measured over the infinite horizon," noted Kotlikoff, who also served as a senior economist on President Ronald Reagan's Council of Economic Advisers. — Source

Cold War Memories
For those of you younglings who only read about it in your history books, one of the things we had to live with during that period was two nuclear armed superpowers aiming thousands of nuclear warheads at each other on hair trigger alert.
There were days I'd wake up and wonder at times whether this would be the day that somebody did something stupid, a political miscalculation or a misinterpreted malfunction would happen that kicked off World War III and altered our world forever.
If you've heard the songs '99 Luftballons' and Men At Work's 'It's A Mistake', it spoke to that fear of nuclear annihilation many of us humans around the planet had. Our literature of the period spoke to those fears with books such as 'Alas, Babylon', 'Warday' and 'On The Beach' which was later turned into a movie.
There were movies such as Fail Safe, Dr. Strangelove, Red Dawn and War Games, and television miniseries such as 1983's The Day After as the US and USSR both built up their nuclear stockpiles to obscene levels.
Hearing about the Soviets nearly launching on nuclear armed China during a 1969 border clash along the disputed Ussuri River border between the two nations, Fidel Castro incessantly calling for nuclear first strikes on the US, the 1983 NATO Able Archer exercise that nearly jumped off a Soviet first strike and about other too close to call instances of malfunctions in command and control on both sides that nearly jumped off everyone's worst nightmare only heightened that planetary anxiety.
It also didn't help matters that the Soviet Union's citizens and leadership believed we'd launch a first strike on them and we grew up in the States immersed in the belief that the 'godless commies' would do the same to us and order that devastating nuclear first strike that would destroy our American way of life.
We entered a period of detente in the 70's, but the military buildups continued The Soviet Navy became a global force that posed a challenge to US naval dominance, the NATO and Warsaw Pact forces trained on their sides of a split Germany in endless maneuvers and wargames waiting for the other side to invade.
Glasnost, the demise of the Soviet Union and the unification of Germany at the tail end of the 80's thankfully spelled the end of the Cold War and a much needed respite from the international stress that period caused..
I'm also thankful that my nieces won't have to grow up in a world that was a hair trigger away from self inflicted nuclear annihilation.

Statement by U.S. Representative Nick Rahall on Health Care Repeal
“Even the law’s most vehement critics must acknowledge its benefits in West Virginia. More than 30,000 seniors in West Virginia have received additional assistance in paying costly Medicare prescription drug bills, and now receive fifty percent discounts on generic drugs. More than 370,000 Medicare beneficiaries now have access to free annual preventive care visits. West Virginians are no longer subject to lifetime limits on their health insurance, and those who have been denied coverage due to a pre-existing condition can now apply for affordable insurance. Young adults now are able to stay on their parents’ insurance through age 26. Coal miners suffering from black lung are having an easier time getting access to the medical benefits they have earned and desperately need.
“However, these benefits must not blind us to the need for additional – and, in some cases – significant changes. I recognize there are passionate views about the health reform law, and the Congress has a responsibility to respond to those concerns. I have already cosponsored legislation to remove overly burdensome reporting requirements for small businesses, the so-called 1099 requirement. I will continue listening to the views of all my constituents, and working diligently with my colleagues from both sides of the aisle, to make further improvements.
“I have worked tirelessly to improve access to affordable, quality health care for West Virginians. I have seen first-hand how our seniors and working families struggle to afford basic care. West Virginians deserve a health care system that will work for them when they need it most.”

Awards season is upon us — the Motion Pictures Awards provided yet another reason for Hollywood ladies to dress up. Susan Sarandon's girl Eva Amurri opted for a simple berry color dress; Anne Hathaway looked feathery in Chanel; Amy Adams showed some shoulder in Giambattista Valli; Salma Hayek did ombre in Yves Saint Laurent; and Heather Graham lit up the carpet in a red halter maxi. Each stayed true to her style, but which Motion Pictures look dazzled the most?

Man, way to get our hopes up, internet rumor mill.
20th Century Fox has been trying to get a Gambit spin-off movie made for years, and a very exciting rumor swept the internet today. Unfortunately, it wasn't true.
Starring Channing Tatum as the Ragin' Cajun, "Gambit" has been in development hell for years, dealing with multiple rewrites and director changes. Now, the movie has started over once again, but the studio at least has a story nailed down.
The movie is reportedly looking to introduce Mister Sinister to the X-Men universe, and SplashReport
While that casting would be perfect, the rumor turned out to be just that. The Wrap's Umberto Gonzalez did some fact checking and found out that there was no truth to the story.
UPDATE: Sorry guys, I checked and unfortunately that Daniel Craig/MR. Sinister rumor is NOT TRUE. Please RT pic.twitter.com/tkYQfmkTFv— Umberto Gonzalez (@elmayimbe) October 3, 2017
While we're glad the truth got out, that doesn't make this any less disappointing. Mister Sinister is one of X-Men's most storied villains, and will likely stick around for longer than this one movie.
Had Craig been cast, he would be part of the X-Men universe for many films to come.
Mr. Sinister is a telepathic, regenerative shapeshifter, and is sure to be a formidable and terrifying villain, no matter who plays him. Even if we still desperately wish it was Craig.

Back from the in-law visit and aside from the heat driving out to Syracuse I had a pretty good week, bike-wise.
Total of 127 miles on mostly back roads exploring the country. Longest was 51 miles RT from Baldwinsville to Oswego on Lake Ontario (I had never seen any of the Great Lakes). Only one slightly challenging hill on that one: Seneca Hill. I have found it pays to think about the names of towns; very often they refer to an actual feature!
Then two rides to Oneida Lake each taking a separate route. Did a lot of biking alongside the rivers Seneca and Oneida and the canals. Lots of fun. Hope to post some pictures soon. And possibly my routes along the way.
Here are some photos from the 51 mile roundtrip ride to Oswego on Lake Ontario. Little to no traffic on most of the roads:

Thanks for help providing books for local children
To the editor,
The Lenawee Community Foundation would like to thank everyone who attended the Alice in Wonderland Tea Party held at the Lenawee Country Club. Proceeds benefited the Imagination Library, which delivers a new age-appropriate book each month to registered children ages birth to 5 years old, who live in Lenawee County.
Without generous sponsors and donors this event would not have been possible. Their willingness to help makes a huge difference and impacts local children.
Thank you to our sponsors: Barrett’s, Mary Blocker, Shelley & Dave Hickman, International Gold & Diamond and Jenell Corporation/McDonald’s Restaurants of Adrian and Hudson. Thanks also to our auction donors: American Girl, Ann Arbor Art Center, Bellus Salon & Spa, Dip Stick & Stuff, The Doll Cottage, Domino’s Pizza in Adrian, Governor Croswell Tea Room, Shelley Hickman, Karri’s Cookies & Cakes Too, Lindsey Flynn (also known as author Lindsey Rene) and wePhoto.
In addition to being a huge success, the event was also fun. But, best of all, the proceeds will enable the Lenawee Community Foundation to deliver more than 2,000 books to Lenawee children.

Flows comes into my day and the palpable experience of the powerful harmonized grace is such a gift. Mostly the flow shows itself when I’m on my coaching calls. By having this daily awareness honed on the gathering of my energy and thoughts in my Solar Plexus, I kinesthetically feel universal power radiating through my words. I am feeling depths of gratitude for the beauty of this life and all of those who I share it with. This feeling of gratefulness for gratitude rising fills my heart to overflowing. It continues to get better and better.
There was such a gratifying conversation with 2 new people today. Both may become longtime clients or business associates. The color code application of understanding motivation and communication styles continues to prove to be very useful. Mostly useful when noticing my own style and how it’s coming from my own desires. This brings me into more choice with what I say next. Find myself asking internally if I’d like to keep the conversation on my interest or turn towards them? I truly love feeling so free to choose.
The coaching of having connecting conversations is going supremely well. It gets clearer and clearer that this is a natural approach for me. I’d like to give myself great acknowledgement for being so willing today to operate out of my familiar roles. I’m greeting this new person in my life as a gift from the universe. What I have been thinking I want is showing up and I’m allowing myself to be present and evolve into the person I’m becoming. The growth I feel is both a bit disorienting and expansive with no known outcomes. What a joy to meet this with wide open possibilities. I do trust my inner harmony and the beautiful guidance it’s providing.

It symbolizes simplicity, peaceful happiness without ambition. Moreover, the presence of wool in dreams may also indicate a need for love or protection. If you are the one to spin it, you must soon be willing to help someone who is sick or in trouble. Finally, if one of your friends gives you wool, is an invitation to become something more than friends. This friendship can bring great satisfaction in every way, but mainly will provide the tenderness you were looking for.
Gallery of dreams
Do animals dream?
Research conducted by various scientists show that animals do experience dream while sleeping. They also experience similar sleep stages like human beings - REM and Non-REM. If you have noticed a dog sleep, it might sometimes wag its tail, this indicates some response to its dream. A study was conducted in a cat by removing a part of the brain stem, which will not prevent it from reacting to the dream during REM. It was noted in some cats they were aggressively chasing mice as in reality.
Body reactions during sleep
Most of us must have experienced hallucinations or night mares. When we experience such dreams we are unable to move or react. This stage is referred to as sleep paralysis. This type of dream occurs in between wakefulness and REM. As it occurs during the REM stage, it causes complete muscle weakness preventing the individual reacting to the dreams.
