My. My. I guess I'm reminded once again about the power of our words. A few days ago, I wrote a devotional about the power of pausing during a heated conversation with our men so that we refrain from responding with words that are harsh or mean….something we'll likely regret later. Well, today I was reminded of another reason to pause. As women, we need to pause before we offer casual bits of advice or "wisdom" to our husbands.
I don't think we realize how our guys are greatly influenced by us! We might think they aren't really paying that much attention to a casual suggestion we toss out, but often they are. In fact, many husbands in the Bible were greatly influenced by something their wives said, and the wives rarely had good advice! I think especially of Sarah telling Abraham to sleep with her servant in order for him to have a son, since she was getting impatient waiting for God to fulfill his promise to give her children! Read the story in Genesis 16:1-4 and you will find out Sarah's decision didn't turn out so well!
So, let's think twice before we offer a morsel of our brilliant counsel during a conversation with our men. I did this recently, and my husband acted upon it. I hadn't really even thought it through, let alone prayed about it. Thankfully, there was no harm done, but it got me to thinking about the need to really pause and pray about any suggestions or counsel I decide to pass on to my husband. How about you?

I took this picture from my bedroom window last week when it snowed here. I've been so interested in the architecture in NY lately and kept thinking that it would make for good textile patterns, especially since the snow excentuates the linework of everything stand out even more than normal. I quickly went into Photoshop and turned the stairwells into what could progress into a new kind of houndstooth print. Kind of fun!
My wonderful mom sent me these luscious fabrics in the mail the other day. I immediately had to lay each of the squares out and watch the colorful palette explode all over the floor! These fabrics have great potential for some patchwork project...perhaps there will be a future post with something I create from them. However, these shades make a great start to all the Fall inspiration I'm dreaming about. Oh how I love it when I get surprise packages in the mail, especially when they are from my mom because she sends the BEST little treasures!
I was sitting in the park the other day, writing in my color journal (yes, I am obsessed about color) when lo and behold I realized I had quite the mix of color and patterns right in front of me. I thought it all made for a nice color composition so I took some pictures that simply inspired me. The tablecloth is from John Robshaw Textiles, the sandal is from Camper, the journal is made by Angela Adams and the canvas bag is from Matta. And below is the little color journal I'm in love with (from Anthropologie).

Выводная рамка (англ. lead frame, произносится   ) — это металлическая конструкция внутри корпуса микросхемы, которая передает сигналы от кристалла наружу.

Выводная рамка состоит из посадочной площадки, на которой размещается кристалл, окруженной выводами, металлическими проводниками, ведущими от кристалла во внешний мир. Конец каждого вывода, ближайший к кристаллу, заканчивается контактной площадкой. Небольшие соединительные провода соединяют кристалл с каждой контактной площадкой. Механические соединения фиксируют все эти части в жесткую конструкцию, что упрощает автоматическую работу со всей выводной рамкой.

Производство
Выводные рамки изготавливаются путем удаления материала с плоской пластины из меди, медного сплава или железо-никелевого сплава, такого как "alloy 42". Для этого используются два процесса: травление (подходит для высокой плотности выводов) или штамповка (подходит для низкой плотности выводов). После обоих методов может применяться процесс механического изгиба.

Кристалл приклеивается или припаивается к площадке в центре выводной рамки, а затем между кристаллом и контактными площадками прикрепляются соединительные провода, чтобы соединить кристалл с выводами. В процессе, называемом герметизация, пластиковый корпус формуется вокруг выводной рамки и кристалла, обнажая только выводы. Выводы за пределами пластикового корпуса отрезаются и все обнажённые поддерживающие конструкции срезаются. Затем, путём сгибания,  внешним выводам придаётся необходимая форма.

Применения
Среди прочего, выводные рамки используются для изготовления quad flat no-leads package (QFN), quad flat package (QFP) или dual in-line package (DIP).

By Jeannette Walls,
Recommended by Judy Sheer Watters
From Judy's list on memorable memoirs that speak to you.
Jeannette Walls tells a story of her early childhood growing up in a highly dysfunctional family with parents who are free spirits doing what makes each of them happy at the moment. Her father promises her that someday, he will build her a glass castle on the beach. She dreams of this beautiful home, but throughout the years, she and her siblings are homeless and learn to care for themselves while their parents take off for places unknown.

Now a major motion picture starring Brie Larson, Naomi Watts and Woody Harrelson.
This is a startling memoir of a successful journalist's journey from the deserted and dusty mining towns of the American Southwest, to an antique filled apartment on Park Avenue. Jeanette Walls narrates her nomadic and adventurous childhood with her dreaming, 'brilliant' but alcoholic parents.
At the age of seventeen she escapes on a Greyhound bus to New York with her older sister; her younger siblings follow later. After pursuing the education and civilisation her parents sought to escape, Jeanette eventually succeeds in her quest for the 'mundane,…
Homeless people
By Frank McCourt,
Angela's Ashes made such an impression on me. It was a real page turner as I followed Frank McCourt through his childhood of poverty in Limerick, Ireland. His mother tries to care for the children in spite of her husband continually drinking away any wages he ever earns. The family has to use boards from the walls of their rent house to burn for heat in the winter. They endure near-starvation and cruelty from both relatives and neighbors. Through the telling of a horrendous upbringing, Frank teaches life lessons. He finds a redeeming quality in his father where he learns the art of storytelling. Frank also teaches how to forgive and move on. A great life lesson for all.
5 authors picked Angela's Ashes as one of their favorite books, and they share why you should read it.
The author recounts his childhood in Depression-era Brooklyn as the child of Irish immigrants who decide to return to worse poverty in Ireland when his infant sister dies.

The Splendid Things We Planned - A Family Portrait
By Blake Bailey,
Recommended by Marlayna Glynn
From Marlayna's list on surviving traumatic childhoods.
No one wants to know a troubled, addicted family member isn't going to beat their demons. But knowing the ending at the beginning makes reading this difficult story possible. Bailey tells a relatable story that breaks down his brother's struggles and their effect upon the family in a way that those of us who share similar stories can relate to. The reader can see how and where things went wrong with Blake's brother Scott, while recognizing that there wasn't anything anyone could have done to prevent the ending.

Meet the Baileys: Burck, a prosperous lawyer once voted the American Legion's "Citizen of the Year" in his tiny hometown of Vinita, Oklahoma; his wife Marlies, who longs to recapture her festive life in Greenwich Village as a pretty young German immigrant, fresh off the boat; their addled son Scott, who repeatedly crashes the family Porsche; and Blake, the younger son, trying to find a way through the storm. "You're gonna be just like me," a drunken Scott taunts him. "You're gonna be worse."

The Tender Bar
By J.R. Moehringer,
Recommended by Christine Sismondo
From Christine's list on to will make you rethink the way we drink and why.
Although I loved the city of New York more than ever after 9/11, it was sometimes hard to feel optimism and hope about the bigger picture and humanity as a whole in the first several years of the new millennium. This book was one of several things that helped restore my faith, since Moehringer so lovingly portrays the community where he grew up in Long Island—an area profoundly impacted by the attack on the World Trade Center. While I was fact-checking the title, et cetera, I discovered there's a movie version coming out in early 2022. Obviously I haven't seen it yet, but I'm really looking forward to it.

Finding Fish
By Antwone Q. Fisher, Mim E. Rivas,
Recommended by Jonathan T. Jefferson
From Jonathan's list on Black-ish American memoirs and autobiographies.
Without deliberately seeking to preach or teach, this book educates its readers about the depths of the struggles faced by children raised in the absence of loving adults. Coping mechanisms and resilience led Antwone Fisher to acquire his dreams. Unfortunately, many who have been in a foster care system never find themselves.
1 author picked Finding Fish as one of their favorite books, and they share why you should read it.
Baby Boy Fisher was raised in institutions from the moment of his birth in prison to a single mother. He ultimately came to live with a foster family, where he endured near-constant verbal and physical abuse. In his mid-teens he escaped and enlisted in the navy, where he became a man of the world, raised by the family he created for himself.
Finding Fish shows how, out of this unlikely mix of deprivation and hope, an artist was born -- first as the child who painted the feelings his words dared not speak, then as a poet and storyteller who…
The Ohio Frontier, Crucible of the Old Northwest, 1720-1830
By R. Douglas Hurt,
Recommended by Lori Benton
From Lori's list on Dunmore's War (1774 Ohio frontier).
Part of the "History of the Trans-Appalachian Frontier" series, this book presents readers with many entertaining and informative accounts of Ohio life throughout the frontier era. The period covered in this book is just over 100 years, so Dunmore's War, while given attention, is not explored in detail. Still, I found this book a valued and comprehensive survey that helped me to understand the political and cultural factors that led to the conflict in 1774, as well as what followed after.

-Journal of the Early Republic
Nowhere on the American frontier was the clash of cultures more violent than in the Ohio country. There, Shawnees, Wyandots, Delawares, and other native peoples fought to preserve their land claims against an army that was incompetent at the beginning but highly trained and disciplined in the end.

From Rush's list on first "grown-up" for teenagers to read.
Her haunting classic that was always both on point and ahead of its time. Beloved was her big hit, but this was always my favorite. It's sparse and slim—you can read it in a day—but it lingers with you. Made this young teenage white boy really think about race at a time when it was the furthest thing from my mind.
4 authors picked The Bluest Eye as one of their favorite books, and they share why you should read it.
Read the searing first novel from the celebrated author of Beloved, which immerses us in the tragic, torn lives of a poor black family in post-Depression 1940s Ohio.
Unlovely and unloved, Pecola prays each night for blue eyes like those of her privileged white schoolfellows. At once intimate and expansive, unsparing in its truth-telling, The Bluest Eye shows how the past savagely defines the present. A powerful examination of our obsession with beauty and conformity, Toni Morrison's virtuosic first novel asks powerful questions about race, class, and gender with the subtlety and grace that have always characterised her writing.

Frontier Indiana

Recommended by William Heath
From William's list on the Great Lakes/Ohio Valley Frontier.
Historians of the Midwest were deprived of one of their finest by the early death of Andrew Cayton. Frontier Indiana is the best of a series of books published by Ohio State University Press on the states of the Old Northwest. Combining chapters on various men and women, Little Turtle's Miami resistance, and William Henry Harrison's land-hungry settlers, Cayton's impressive research and thoughtful writing go a long way toward illuminating the frontier of the late 18th and early 19th centuries.

"The research and scholarship that went into the work are excellent; so good, in fact, that the book should be on the required text list for all Transappalachian frontier courses." -History
Cayton's lively new history of the frontier period in Indiana puts the focus on people, on how they lived, how they viewed their world, and what motivated them. Here are the stories of Sieur de Vincennes, John Francis Hamtramck, Little Turtle, Anna Tuthill Symmes Harrison, Tenskwatawa, Calvin Fletcher-along with many more familiar (and not so familiar) early Hoosiers.
The Great Lakes
A Country Between
By Michael N. McConnell,
A comprehensive examination of the Ohio Valley native nations during the decades leading up to Dunmore's War. Though the covering of the actual campaign makes up a small portion of this book, any researcher desiring a balanced view of the conflict for land in the Ohio couldn't ask for a better resource than A Country Between.
1 author picked A Country Between as one of their favorite books, and they share why you should read it.
The Ohio Country in the eighteenth century was a zone of international strife, and the Delawares, Shawnees, Iroquois, and other natives who had taken refuge there were caught between the territorial ambitions of the French and British. A Country Between is unique in assuming the perspective of the Indians who struggled to maintain their autonomy in a geographical tinderbox.

From Kalisha's list on Black women's friendships.
No other novel is more important to me than this one. A college professor introduced it to me in my sophomore year and, as the third Toni Morrison book I'd read, it just spoke to me in a way no other book has before or since. Sula and Nel grow up in Depression-era Ohio, but limitations on black people's and women's lives necessitate their different paths: Sula goes rogue to the big Ohio city while Nel succeeds as a housewife in their all-Black birthplace known as "The Bottom." You would never know an approximately 150-page book could deliver so much spectacular drama and so many unforgettable characters across three generations in America. When Sula returns to The Bottom after a ten-year absence, she and Nel's friendship endures the ultimate test.

Disability organisation opens new room, plans expansion

ROYCE Wood's life completely changed two years ago when he started shaking uncontrollably while at work.
"I actually just thought it was from drinking too much coffee," the former chef joked.
Mr Wood, who was diagnosed with Parkinson's Plus Disease, is one of more than a 120 clients of Toowoomba Community Care who will benefit from the opening of its new activity room on Victoria St.
The Toowoomba-based organisation, based under parent entity SB Care, celebrating opening the new small group activity space at its site on Victoria St yesterday.
The first stage of a massive upgrade project was partially funded by a $20,000 grant from the Federal Government's Stronger Communities program.

Mr Wood said he was excited to use the facility as part of his twice-weekly visits to SB Care, which he said were essential for socialising.
"It's the social side of things that I enjoy. I come down to do different activities, because you don't know what you're going to get from one week to the next," he said.
"I play pool, I listen to music, it just depends. I love it already, I think it's a big boost for the centre."
SB Care CEO Cheryl Dalton said the new activities space was part of the organisation's expansion plans for Toowoomba, in terms of facilities and clientele.
New activity room: Toowoomba Community Care open new activity room.
"There are very limited opportunities for group programs in Toowoomba right now, so it'll be fantastic for our NDIS clients," she said.
"The growth outlook is fantastic for Toowoomba. We've got 12 staff in Toowoomba at the moment and about 120 clients.
"We see that Toowoomba will be in that same place as the South Burnett (which has more than 100 workers).
"We'll have probably 100 or more staff within two to three years, which is great for the community because we can service them and offer a proper alternative."
Dr John McVeigh MP opening of the new room at Toowoomba Community Care. Picture: Nev Madsen.
Groom MP John McVeigh, who opened the centre, said he was excited to see the community benefits from the growth of SB Care.
"To fund this new activity room here is a real boon for the community, and it's a real honour to secure that for them," he said.
"We do need this sort of space - we need more of them across the city of Toowoomba.
"It's a really simple project, but such a meaningful one."
SB Care was created last year when South Burnett Care merged with Toowoomba's Brightside on Victoria to create a new entity to service both regions.
Toowoomba Community Care is the local entity.

Like the door in Narnia, our garden entryway looks a bit out of place standing alone and leading nowhere in the bleak grey landscape of not-quite-spring.
Ginny is hosting a link up of garden journal posts to visually chronicle the progression of the growing season. She's already inspired me to plant some garlic and put the beds to use over next winter. At present, the vegetable garden is empty and nothing remains but the dregs of last year's vines.
And this tangled mess is a view of the herb garden. You can see that I am one to skip what is commonly called 'fall cleanup', preferring to leave the dying vegetation of the previous season in place as a sort of natural mulch and to provide cover for foraging wildlife. I also just like the wild natural look.
and it's those bits of very much alive greenery that bring hope and joy to the gardener's soul.
But most of the action is going on here inside the house.
carefully planting the tiny brown packages of new life.
My vegetable seeds this year are from St. Clare Heirloom Seeds, a family owned company that specializes in non-hybrid, non-GMO, open pollinated seeds. I have been very pleased with the seeds, and they are packaged in handy little bags inside the paper envelopes for safe storing of the seeds (no more accidentally dumping the entire envelope of seeds out all over the ground because you dropped the packet out of your garden basket, if you know what I mean). Using open pollinated seeds also means you can save seeds at the end of the growing season for use next year, as well as letting plants reseed themselves in the garden, knowing that the new plants will be true to type (unlike hybrids).
Kateri is writing down everything she plants in Alice's sweet little Garden Notes book while I keep a more detailed list in my now fifteen year old garden notebook. In February we started peppers, tomatoes, rhubarb, spinach, kale, leeks, and several annual herbs. We also have a couple dozen types of flowers we've planted as well.
Kateri is so excited to check and see what's 'up' every morning. Mother, we have tomatoes now!
For me, the joy never of having new plants sprouting never gets old. I love to watch things grow, little by little, day by day, greener and greener. It's always amazing to think of the big plants and so much food that will delight and nourish us, all coming from those tiny brown seeds.
So this is what my 'garden' looks like for now as we plant and tend and wait for spring.
Edited to add: A commenter asked if it's too late to start seeds. It's still early in the season (at least where I live) and a couple of weeks delay isn't a problem - your harvests will just be a little later. You can go to the almanac site, type in your zip code, and it will give you the best planting dates for various seeds based on your location. Alternatively, this site has a planting guide worksheet that you can print out. I have another post on starting seeds here. The book I use for reference on vegetable gardening is The Vegetable Gardener's Bible.

When religion turned inward
An artful perspective
Ralph Waldo Emerson argued for the notion that the divine speaks within each of us. That concept has the root of a radically "democratic sentiment," said David Lamberth, professor of philosophy and theology, one "antithetical to a tradition that took Jesus as the exemplar rather than one example among many."

After Emerson addressed the Divinity School, religion was forever changed
By Colleen Walsh Harvard Staff Writer
Date February 16, 2012 May 15, 2019
As Harvard celebrates its 375th anniversary, the Gazette is examining key moments and developments over the University's broad and compelling history.
In a beautifully preserved chapel in Divinity Hall, an unassuming plaque honors a groundbreaking speech by one of Harvard's best-known literary alumni.
The speech was delivered to a small gathering of mostly students, graduates and faculty on July 15, 1838, but it had a profound impact on the religious development of a burgeoning nation, the creation of a distinctly American cultural identity, and the future of Harvard.
Ralph Waldo Emerson's "Divinity School Address" represented a turning point for Unitarianism, beginning its transformation from a liberal form of Christianity to a type of religious liberalism independent of specific historic traditions. The address also helped to establish Emerson as a major voice for the transcendentalist movement, involving an influential group of authors, philosophers, poets, and scholars who rejected the primacy of institutions in favor of the individual, intuitive thought, and the role of nature in helping man to understand the divine.
While Emerson had argued similar points in earlier speeches and essays, calling for relying on one's own experiences and resources rather than on staid traditions in his works like "Nature" and "The American Scholar," never before had he offered such a direct challenge to mainstream Christianity.
His words were so stunning and radical that he wasn't invited back to campus for 30 years. Yet every July now, in commemoration of the speech, Divinity School officials give out free Popsicles, in part to celebrate "this refulgent summer," the famous first words of Emerson's landmark speech.
"I think that he was trying broadly to liberate the persuadable people in his audience — the graduating class in particular — from the sense that they should take their marching orders from church or doctrinal authority," said Lawrence Buell, Powell M. Cabot Research Professor of American Literature, and author of "Emerson."
A graduate of Harvard College and Harvard Divinity School (HDS), which was then known as the Harvard Theological School, Emerson followed his father's vocation and took up a position as a Unitarian minister at Second Church in Boston in 1829. But, increasingly at odds with the church and its philosophy, he famously resigned his post in 1832, citing his inability to carry out the Holy Communion in good faith.
Six years later, speaking in Divinity Hall Chapel at the invitation of the graduating students, Emerson gave voice to many of his religious misgivings. He "railed against the emphasis placed on the personhood of Jesus as an authority figure," said Buell. Emerson questioned the personhood of God versus man, and he argued for the value of experience.
Emerson argued for the notion that the divine speaks within each of us. That concept has the root of a radically "democratic sentiment," said David Lamberth, professor of philosophy and theology, one "antithetical to a tradition that took Jesus as the exemplar rather than one example among many."
"Emerson offers the idea not that we are like God, but rather that we are divine, insofar as we act out of this inner, essentially moral or ethical law which is within us."
Emerson also took aim at the preaching practices of the day, calling for all sermons to include personal experience. He had a "trenchant critique" of relying on Scripture, doctrine, or tradition, said Lamberth, and argued that one has to "speak out of solely that which you have experienced yourself."
"I once heard a preacher who sorely tempted me to say I would go to church no more," Emerson wrote in his address. "If he had ever lived, and acted, we were none the wiser for it. The capital secret of his profession, namely, to convert life into truth, he had not learned."
Much of Emerson's genius, said Lamberth, lay in his inspiring prose and "his poetic ability to frame and advance ideas in such a textured and intellectually fecund fashion."
"What he was saying was similar to what others said, but it was how he said it that made all the difference."
The address also marked the beginning of a fundamental shift for Harvard. Though it would take years for the change to take hold, the speech was a catalyst for a Divinity School that would eventually educate not just ministers for New England, but men and women for the world.
The address advanced the notion that "a professional school does not need to train people only for a single career track," said Dan McKanan, the Ralph Waldo Emerson Unitarian Universalist Association Senior Lecturer in Divinity.
Those who attended or were simply inspired by Emerson at that time "took the vision that he put forward in a lot of different directions," said McKanan, who teaches the speech to first-year master's of divinity candidates.
Emerson's contemporaries responded. George Ripley, a Unitarian minister, became the leader of an experimental, utopian living community in Massachusetts. Theodore Parker, who graduated from the Theological School in 1836, created a new kind of church that was a "center for social reform activists in Boston."
Echoing Emerson's calls, current HDS graduates include "award-winning novelists, prominent journalists, social change activists, as well as ministers and professors," said McKanan. Looking at that range of careers and interests, one can "see the address as a manifesto for a kind of professional education that is not limited to a single profession."
Corinne Zimmerman, a senior museum educator at the Harvard Art Museums, addresses a group of Harvard Business School administrators on how to develop communication skills. Zimmerman used a piece of art by Tim Rollins and K.O.S called "Animal Farm: P.W. Botha 1" (right) to outline the discussion. Another piece by Gary Schneider titled "Helen" by reflects the audience.

Obama Longest-Serving President With No Major Hurricane Strike
By Barbara Hollingsworth | January 23, 2017 | 5:29pm EST
Hurricane Wilma in 2005, the last major hurricane to make landfall in the continental U.S. (NASA)
(CNSNews.com) – President Barack Obama was the longest-serving president in U.S. history to have no major hurricanes strike the continental U.S. during his term of office, according to data published by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
Tuesday marks an unprecedented 11 years and three months since a major hurricane, defined as a Category 3 or above on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale, made landfall in the U.S.
The last major hurricane to do so was Hurricane Wilma on Oct. 24, 2005 under President George W. Bush.
In the eight years between Inauguration Day 2009, when Obama was first sworn-in as the nation's 44th president, and Inauguration Day 2017, when he relinquished the presidency to his successor, Donald Trump, no major hurricanes have made landfall in the U.S., according to data from the NOAA's Hurricane Research Division going back to 1851.
In 2011, Hurricane Irene came ashore in North Carolina as a Category 1 storm.
In 2012, Category 1 Hurricane Isaac struck the southern coast of Louisiana in August, followed by Hurricane Sandy, which slammed into New York that October. Although both storms caused billions of dollars in damage, they were both at Category 1 strength when they made landfall.
In 2016, Hurricane Matthew started off as the first Category 5 hurricane in the Atlantic basin since Hurricane Felix in 2007. But after battering Haiti, Cuba and the Bahamas and killing up to 1,000 people, the dangerous storm lost steam as it headed for the U.S.
Matthew came ashore in South Carolina on Oct. 8, 2016 as a Category 1 hurricane, although it was still responsible for dozens of deaths in the U.S.
Only four chief executives since 1851 have not had a major hurricane strike the U.S. on their watch: Abraham Lincoln (1861-1865); Andrew Johnson (1865-1869); James Garfield (who served only six months prior to his assassination in 1881); and Benjamin Harrison (1889-1893).
But none of them were in office as long as Obama.


There it is, chipped right into the stony sidewalk, the reminder that sometimes God's love comes in the form of a breaking, His "yes" spelled out first with the letters n-o.
"God is sufficient for God's work.
God chose me because I was weak enough.
God does not do his great works by large committees.
I keep forgetting this, thinking progress means increased strength, and success greater courage.
But for all the demons cast out and sick people healed, it was the thud of stakes pounded through flesh into wood, the gasp of one more lift of the raw back against rough timber that heralded the greatest victory.
So I haven't asked. Not for that. Until last week. Then a dream and a prayer and I sensed Him say, "Ask me." He did not guarantee the outcome, just invited the request. I let it sit for a few days, getting used to the idea. Then one day, "Arise, my darling, my beautiful one, and come with me." (Song of Solomon 2:10) They were the same words he spoke the morning I first flew to the little Afghan village that would be home for 4 years. This time, I could picture His laughing eyes, hand held out, eager to take mine and run together who knew where. I danced through the day (- it is quite possible to dance and nap at the same time -), holding tight to His hand. Being all His. Just wanting Him, wherever He led me.
As I rode the bus to the Regent College soaking prayer evening, I wondered if this was how other women felt in the moments before their wedding. Not knowing, really, what lay ahead. Just so eager to be more completely His than ever before.
As we began, the worship leader spoke, "We like to nuance things at Regent. And most things need to be nuanced. But this one thing does not need to be nuanced: God is love, and God is for us." We sang for an hour, every song a celebration of God's love. For that hour, I was free like never before to enter into worship; free and unafraid. His. Nothing held back.
I left still feeling like I had been to my wedding. I felt myself held closer that night. I had been denied physical healing, but what I really wanted had been given: the opportunity to give him a more complete "yes," and to receive more fully his giving of Himself to me. "For richer for poorer, in sickness and in health." Whether He chooses to provide for me through disability insurance or gives me a way to earn a living, whether he continues to walk with me through illness or brings me, sometime, into greater health, these things are certain: I am my beloved's and my beloved is mine. He is love, and He is for me. And nothing can separate me from His love.
He gained me not by becoming stronger but weaker, not by stepping out of the struggle but by entering it so deeply that it broke Him. The whip, the nails, my sin crushing his groaning heart and burning lungs and flesh that screamed for relief: it all killed Him. But it didn't conquer Him. He chose. He said "yes" to His Father even when His Father said "no" to His request to skip the cross.
I guess He knew that God only ever says "no" to say "yes" to something far better.
Thanks Jaison. I'm returning over and over again to the reminder myself: "This one thing does not need to be nuanced: God is good, and God is for us." Grace to you today.
Carolyn, this is beautiful. Thanks for sharing something so personal and allowing us to be blessed too.
Thanks, Janet. I'm glad to be able to share it with you.

Rome mayor bans alcohol from streets and piazzas on summer evenings

Stricter regulations over the sale and consumption of alcohol in the Italian capital came into force at the weekend, with notices put up across the city in four languages.
"We don't want the Roman summer evenings to be ruined by episodes linked to excessive consumption of alcohol," said mayor Virginia Raggi in a statement.
Similar bans have been put in place in previous years, however this year's is considerably tougher. A total of 14 of the city's 15 municipalities are affected, with the ban in place from 10pm until 7am.
Only the north-western district of Ottavia is exempt from the ruling, while nightlife hotspots including the historic centre, Monti, Trastevere, Testaccio, Prati, and San Lorenzo are all affected.

From 10pm, it is forbidden to consume alcoholic drinks in glass containers on public streets, while from midnight onwards, the ban extends to any outdoor consumption of alcohol, no matter what the container.
Anyone caught flouting the new regulation could face a fine of €150, while for business-owners selling alcohol after the time limit, that fine increases to €280.
Selling alcohol drinks to take away, for example from off licences or supermarkets, is banned from 10pm onwards, while from 2am, it is also forbidden to serve beverages containing alcohol – even in indoor bars and clubs.
Raggi urged shop owners to print out and display the text of the ban, and urged holidaymakers and locals to continue to "enjoy themselves with a sense of responsibility". The order will remain in place until the end of October.
During the first weekend with the ban in place, over 500 checks were carried out, police said, and 37 fines were issued on Saturday alone.

But many businesses and local residents criticized the new rules.
"It limits our freedom as a business, and our free choice as responsible adults to be able to drink after 2am," said the owners of Redrum, a restaurant and bar serving craft beer in the Ostiense neighbourhood. "[It is] a curfew which recalls decidedly sad periods of our history."
Others focused on the fact that Ottavia, the neighbourhood where mayor Raggi lives, was the only district excluded from the ban.
Romans Roberto Di Leo and Elena Cecchini organized a Facebook event inviting people to gather and drink in the area on Saturday evening, with seven public roads and squares as suggested meeting points.
More than 16,000 people said they were interested in taking part, with dozens posting photos of their al fresco drinking on social media.
The new alcohol regulation is one of several temporary bans in place in Rome and across Italy over the summer months, aimed at limiting anti-social behaviour and problems such as littering as the country sees an influx of visitors.
In the capital, authorities have also forbidden eating near, climbing on, or sitting on many of the city's ancient fountains, as well as banning throwing anything into the fountains other than small change which, when tossed into the Trevi, is thought to bring good luck.
And the mayor of the northern city Turin also clamped down on late-night alcohol sales after a stampede at a showing of a football match killed one person and injured over 1,500. It is unclear what caused the moment of panic, but a large number of injuries were cuts due to shards of glass from drinks bottles, many thought to have been bought from illegal sellers.

Data Collection & Analytics Tools?
February 16, 2013 jmankoff	3 Comments
I have become fascinated recently with the question of the role that data has in supporting analysis, action, and reflection. Actually, it would be more accurate to say that I've become aware recently that this is an intrinsic driver in much of the work I do, and thus it has become something I want to reflect on more directly. In this post, I want to explore some of the tools others have already built that might support analytics, machine learning, and so on. If you know of something I've missed, feel free to share it in the comments! So, in no particular order:
Hazy provides a small handful of key primitives for data analysis. These include Victor, which "uses RDBMS to solve a large class of statistical data analysis problems (supervised machine learning using incremental gradiant algorithms) and WisCi (/ DeepDive, it's successor), which is "an encylopedia powered by machines, for the people. " RapidMiner is a similar tool that has been used by thousands. It is open source and supports data analysis and mining.
Protégé is "a suite of tools to construct domain models and knowledge-based applications with ontologies" including visualization and manipulation
NELL learns over time from the web. It has been running since 2010 and has "accumulated over 50 million candidate beliefs." A similar system is
Ohmage and Ushahidi are open source citizen sensing platforms (think citizen based data collection). Both support mobile and web based data entry. This stands in contrast to things like Mechanical Turk which is a for-pay service, and games and other dual-impact systems like PeekaBoom (von Ahn et al.) which can label objects in an image using crowd labor, or systems like Kylin (Hoffmann et al.) which simultaneously accelerates community content creation and information extraction.
WEKA and LightSide support GUI based machine learning (WEKA requires some expertise and comes with a whole textbook, while LightSide is built on WEKA but simplifies aspects of it, and specializes in mining textual data). For more text mining support, check out Coh-Metrix, which "calculates the coherence of texts on a wide range of measures. It replaces common readability formulas by applying the latest in computational linguistics and linking this to the latest research in psycholinguistics." Similarly, LIWC, which supports linguistic analysis (not free) by providing a dictionary and a way to compare to that dictionary to analyze the presence of 70 language dimensions in a new text from negative emotions to casual words.
Deployed tools research and products aside, there is also a bunch of research in this area, ranging from early work such as aCappela (Dey et al.), Screen Crayons (Olsen, et al.). More recently, Gestalt (Patel et al.) "allows developers to implement a classification pipeline" and Kietz et al. use an analysis of RapidMiner's many data analysis traces to automatically predict optimal KDD-Workflows.

Here at Sports Memorabilia Australia (SMA), we regularly host online auctions of sporting memorabilia featuring rather unique and rare sought after pieces. Such items attract a great deal of interest from serious collectors and enthusiasts alike. Auction lots generally comprise of antique collectables, player's game used or match worn items, and sold out limited editions. The majority of auction lots are on agency from the general public and discerning collectors, so don't hesitate to contact us if you have something you believe may be of interest.
You will need to provide as much information and provenance as possible about the item, if it is a limited edition - edition size, manufacturer, signatories, proof of authenticity, and your perceived value.
Depending on their estimated value, we may place items in an auction, or simply for sale. SMA Auctions Online (SMAAO) listing incurs a commission of 22% on sale (inc GST) on the auction.
If sold other than through SMA Auctions Online, the rate is 27.5% (inc GST).
This is an all inclusive fee, with no extra charge for insurance, promotion, photographs and listing. We will occasionally run smaller, interim auctions - check the website from time to time to see what is currently available. We provide a money back guarantee that every item is as stated. SMA auctions are hosted at various stages throughout the year, in some instances monthly.
Click the REGISTER button (from the LOG IN button or on an item page.
Upon completion of this form, you will be sent an activation code to your designated email. This allows you to confirm your registration - it also means that you must ensure your email address is entered correctly. Enter this in the space provided and continue. SMA requires that you provide accurate personal details to protect you and other bidders (and SMA) from the risk of fraudulent or scurrilous bidding. The optional collecting interests will help us ensure we are offering items that interest our clients.
Once registered and or logged on, you merely go to the foot of the item page you are interested in - It will show the starting bid, current bid and number of bids placed. All prices quoted are Australian Dollars. You will be advised the minimum bid amount, and offered a box marked (Maximum Bid Amount) In this you can either key in the minimum required, or if you are prepared to set a limit put this in. You will only be charged the minimum required - and this will only increase if other bidders bid above the starting price.
You will be immediately asked online to confirm the bid - please double check as it is binding.
There will be a 20% Bidder's premium on winning bids plus applicable tax for Australian residents (22% inc GST).
For example, a hammer price of $100 will result in a Buyers Premium of 20% ($20) thus $120 for overseas buyers. If you are an Australian resident and the item is not being exported then GST is applied to the Buyer's Premium; Thus Buyer's premium is 22% of the hammer Price and the total paid would be $100 +$20 +$2 = $122.
If your bid is acceptable you will get a response on line and be emailed a confirmation. If you are outbid, you will receive an email advising of the new bid details and be given a link to try again if desired.
The closing time applies if there has not been a bid in the last ten minutes. After a ten minute lull the leading bidder will be advised of their success by email. We will follow up with an email confirming the relevant fee, mailing details and any handling / taxes required.
So will SMA Auctions Online serve you better? Yes!
Here is how...You will be dealing directly with the combined reputations, expertise and industry standing of Michael Fahey, and Sports Memorabilia Australia, who have been running online auctions for well over a decade. We will be able to offer items at better reserves by avoiding the charges involved with using intermediaries. Other auction sites can often be cluttered with countless items of low value and questionable authenticity. How many pages of fifty-cent sports cards have you had to wade through to find what you're after? SMA will only list items we believe will be of interest and value to our clients. As always, your feedback in this regard is welcome. With SMA's impressive range available, you'll be offered many exciting, never-before-seen items ongoing.
SO WHAT IS DIFFERENT ABOUT PARTICIPATING IN AN AUCTION ONLINE WITH SMA?
In most cases, the Starting Price IS the reserve, so any bid means the item will be sold. This will be clearly marked. If there is a reserve which is not met, the highest bidder has the opportunity to negotiate with SMA.
The major change for you in bidding will be the introduction of a 'Five-Minute Safety Zone', whereby any bids received in the 5 minutes prior to the scheduled close will extend the auction until no further bid has been received for 5 minutes.
(We still highly recommend you use the 'maximum' proxy bid if you cannot be by your computer at scheduled close and have a set limit in mind). Instead of the entire auction closing at the one time, each item in SMA auctions will close with staggered gaps. This innovation will ease the pressure on bidders who are interested in similar pieces ending in close proximity.
Whilst you can readily view the items, to bid on them you must be registered with SMA AUCTIONS ONLINE and logged in (full details on request).
FOR SALE While most pieces are offered for auction there is a selection of memorabilia which is for sale now! There is no additional Buyer's Premium to pay, just shipping costs if appropriate. As a rule items unsold at auction will be listed soon after in the 'Fixed Price Items' section. Other pieces will be added from time to time.


In this appendix I present short texts in Tepa. Each text is presented first in Tepa, then in an idiomatic English translation (the Tower of Babel story uses the KJV text as the idiomatic English translation), and finally in an interlinear, morpheme-by-morpheme gloss.
Thursday November 16th, 1871. J[oseph] and I conversed at length concerning the bewildering number and general confusion of tongues, doubtless prompted by my inquiries concering the Miapimoquitch, with whom he spent so much of his youth. I felt compelled to read aloud the account from the book of Genesis concerning the confusion of tongues and the Lord's scattering of that proud but fallen people. J remarked that the Miapimoquitch would have enjoyed this story, and asked if I would like to hear it as they might have told it. I responded that I would very much, whereupon he related it to me in the Miapimoquitch dialect as follows.
1 huisi leŋa sukuuŋu, huisi tepa. 2 hukahekahee metapu sinaa kenipa eaŋa kitile. hukate yu. 3 huyakkee hawananpaŋana. 4 huhawaŋakkassa hanima etiŋe ukaiŋu kupine. huwaweletii pewalilkatta metasewe. 5 husahu ŋamana epite hanimaa akasa tukua. 6 huyakee ŋamana hasua! isi tukua huisi leŋa neŋu. huŋanani humuŋappulpa eŋana eamine. 7 wasahu huhawanulu leŋane numuhuyu eteppa. 8 hulika metasewe tukua yehupa huapupa ekasa hanimaa. 9 huten papele, anulu yu leŋa tukua ŋamana elika yule metasewe.
1 And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech. 2 And it came to pass, as they journeyed from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar; and they dwelt there. 3 And they said one to another, Go to, let us make brick, and burn them throughly. And they had brick for stone, and slime had they for mortar. 4 And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth. 5 And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded. 6 And the LORD said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do. 7 Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech. 8 So the LORD scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the city. 9 Therefore is the name of it called Babel; because the LORD did there confound the language of all the earth: and from thence did the LORD scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth.
And to the earth one language and one speech.
hukahekahee metapu sinaa kenipa eaŋa kitile.
And they found in the land Shinar a mesa as they journey from the East. And they dwelt there.
And they said to each other, let us make adobe.
huhawaŋakkassa hanima etiŋe ukaiŋu kupine.
And let us build for ourselves a pueblo, its top reaching the sky. And we will be known if sometime we are scattered through the land.
husahu ŋamana epite hanimaa akasa tukua.
And the Creator descended to see the pueblo that the people were building.
isi tukua huisi leŋa neŋu.
And the Creator said, look! The people are one, and to them is one language. And they do this, and they will not be stopped (from) doing what they desire.
wasahu huhawanulu leŋane numuhuyu eteppa.
I (will) go down and mix their language, and they will not understand what they speak to each other.
hulika metasewe tukua yehupa huapupa ekasa hanimaa.
And the Creator scattered the people throughout the land and they stopped building the pueblo.
huten papele, anulu yu leŋa tukua ŋamana elika yule metasewe.
And its name is Babel, (because) the Creator mixed the people's language there and scattered them from there throughout the land.

Coyote was really hungry one day--really really hungry. He was wandering around looking for something to eat. He saw Field Mouse gathering grass seeds. "Hey, Field Mouse! What are you doing?" he asked.
"Gathering grass seeds," said Field Mouse.
"To eat," answered Field Mouse.
"Me and my family like them."
"Maybe I'll eat some grass seeds. I'm really really hungry." And Coyote ate all of Field Mouse's seeds, leaving none for poor Field Mouse and his family. "Hmm. That sure wasn't very much food. I'm still really hungry."
He was wandering around looking for food. He saw Lizard eating bugs. "Hey, Lizard! What are you doing?" asked Coyote.
"Maybe I'll eat some bugs. I'm really really hungry." And Coyote ate all of the bugs he could find, leaving none for poor Lizard and his family. "Hmm. That sure wasn't very much food. I'm still really hungry."
He was wandering around looking for something to eat. He saw Beaver chewing on some bark. "Hey, Beaver! What are you doing?" asked Coyote.
"Me and my family like it."
"Maybe I'll eat some bark. I'm really really hungry." And Coyote ate the bark off of all the trees, leaving none for poor Beaver and his family. "Hmm. That sure wasn't very much food. I'm still really hungry."
He sat down and wondered what to do about food. He saw Sage Hen down by the spring pecking at the ground. "Hey, Sage Hen! What are you doing?"
"Swallowing rocks. Now go away and leave me alone."
Sage Hen ignored him and didn't answer, but kept on pecking in the dirt by the spring.
"Maybe I'll try some rocks. I'm really really hungry." And Coyote ate all of the pebbles, rocks, and boulders he could find. His stomach was huge! "Aah, that did the trick!" he said. Those rocks really filled me up!" And he lay down to take a nap because his stomach was so full.
When he woke up awhile later he was really thirsty. "Those rocks really filled me up, but they sure did make me thirsty! I'd better get a drink."
Coyote walked down to the spring. All of the rocks rattled and clacked together in his stomach making a lot of noise. He leaned over the water in the spring, but his stomach was so heavy with rocks that he fell in and drowned.

'Tevanik,' Karabagh War Film, Travels the US with Director Avetisyan
WEST NEWTON, Mass. – "Tevanik," a dramatic film about the Karabagh war, was shown in various cities of the US in January, and its director, Jivan Avetisyan, came from Armenia to speak at these different venues. They included Los Angeles, San Francisco, New Jersey, Washington, DC and Boston. There were various local cosponsors. In the Boston area the Sayat Nova Dance Company (SNDC) was the host, and filled to capacity the West Newton Cinema for the evening. Arick Gevorkian, US representative of the film, traveled with Avetisyan from Los Angeles to participate in the presentation.
Prior to the start of the film, Apo Ashjian, SNDC director, thanked the audience for its support, and said, "I myself have seen this movie three or four times already, and every time I watch this film, I take away with me something different. It is meaningful films like this that give our community hope strength and the will to persevere to do what we all do on a daily basis in this community."
This is a very beautiful film, in large part because of the breathtaking images of the Karabagh countryside. The film is constructed somewhat unconventionally, with three parallel segments portraying episodes taking place during one day in a Karabagh village in 1991 from the perspective of three Armenians — Aram, Astghik and Tevanik. These Armenians are all children or young adolescents, so they view the world differently than adults would, but villagers of all ages have important roles in the film.
The filming took place in the Karabagh villages of Badara and Kachen during the summer of 2013. It is not only the scenery and plot that are authentic; the actors in the 81-minute-film speak in the Karabagh dialect of Armenian (English subtitles are provided), except for the commander who was from the diaspora and speaks Western Armenian. Avetisyan said he felt that "the film would have been false if it were not in the Karabagh dialect."
Each of the three sections of the film is about loss due to war. Little Aram's mother is Azerbaijani and his father Armenian. When the village is surrounded by Azerbaijani forces, the Armenians turn on his mother and tensions become dangerous, forcing her to leave with her younger son. Aram and his father are left behind, thus the family is shattered and the happiness of Aram's childhood ends. This segment is subtitled "Sonnet." The second part, subtitled "Elegy," focuses on Astghik and other women around her. She loses her friendship with Aram and her father, brother and grandfather to the war.
The third part, subtitled "Saga" [Ask'], goes further in depicting fighting. The 14-year-old orphan Tevanik is present in all three parts of the film. In the last section, he is chosen to help the commander scout a desolate region. Suddenly an Azeri sniper attacks and Tevanik decides to take vengeance.
The movie deliberately has an ambivalent ending. The one thing shown clearly is that the villagers decide to disobey an order from the high Armenian command to retreat. They put their lives on the line for their homes.
Jivan Avetisyan, in an interview after the Boston screening, declared that how the story ended was not important. The point of the film was basically that war was bad and had its tragic effects even on those not on the frontlines. The film, though about Karabagh, could also be about any other war.
Avetisyan himself was born in Karabagh and lived through the difficult times of the war, which naturally affected his childhood. While his father and brother fought on the frontlines, he stayed in the basement with his mother and sister, reading under candlelight. The memories of this period remain indelible for him. As a filmmaker, he works on this topic as the one that is closest to him, and he feels film is the best way to present the history of Karabagh to non-Armenians.
Avetisyan worries that "Nobody talks about Karabagh anywhere in the street. When people talk about Karabagh and the Armenian Genocide in the street the way they do about the Holocaust, then at that time everything will become okay. We must reach that point." He believes that "Film can affect people. Furthermore, political leaders are also people, and they have families too."
Avetisyan feels that the Karabagh war was forced on the Armenians, and the latter's victory has led to a certain degree of mythologization. He declared: "People have already forgotten what war is, and the bad things that are connected to it. I am a proponent of peace. Its value will become more apparent if we continually talk about the price of war. We will thus keep war at a distance from Karabagh."
Though at present he works as the chief director of Yerkir Media in Yerevan, preparing television documentaries as well as films, he said that "artistic films are his love." One such film can take three to four years to make for him. His forthcoming film probably will take around 30 months. Avetisyan said, "And you have to continually work on it. A film is more jealous than a jealous woman."
He finds the challenges of his work different from that of the Soviet period. He said, "I learned from the masters who were the cinematographers of the Soviet Union. Now we have freedom, but no money. Then there was time and money."
Avetisyan's oeuvre consists of 14 documentaries and seven films. Most of his important previous work has focused on Karabagh. His prior film, "Broken Childhood," relates a true story about an Azerbaijani attack, supported by Russian troops, on the Armenian village of Maragha. It tells the story of a six-year-old girl who is taken captive and held by an Azerbaijani woman who hoped, in vain as it turns out, to exchange her own captive child for this Armenian. Avetisyan also has made a documentary called "Gharabagh: Taknvats Gandz" [Gharabagh: Hidden Treasure].
The script for "Tevanik" was initially written by Arnold Aghababov in 1996-1997. Years after he passed away, Karine Khodikyan expanded it to feature-film length. Armenia's National Cinema Center in part financed the film, and individuals also helped through Avetisyan's Fish Eye Art cultural foundation. The president of the Nagorno Karabagh Republic, Bako Sahakyan, and the NKR government greatly facilitated the making of the film. The Karabagh army made all the war scenes possible, he added.
"Tevanik" premiered at the Moscow Cinema in Yerevan in May 2014 and in Artsakh in June, and has been shown in various European cities. It has won a considerable number of awards, including: Best Screenplay at the Los Angeles Arpa International Film Festival in November 2014; Best Feature Prize in the Armenian Panorama Competition at the Golden Apricot Film Festival in July 2014; Audience Favorite Award at the Silk Road International Film Festival in Xi'an, China in 2014; and Most Original Work in the International Feature Films Competition of the Overlook 2014 Film Festival in Rome. It was also shown at the 67th Cannes Film Festival.
Avetisyan pointed out that the importance of having such a film shown internationally was well understood by politicians and states. The Azerbaijani government sent a letter of protest to the Lithuanian government about the participation of Artbox, a Lithuanian company, in the production of this film.
Arick Gevorkian, who coordinated the film's tour through the US and supported Avetisyan's work, was introduced by Ashjian after the film's showing to speak further about the importance of films like "Tevanik," as well as the financial difficulties involved in filmmaking in Armenia and Karabagh. Ashjian admiringly declared about Gevorkian that "He is a one-man show. He is a businessman, a lecturer, and an event coordinator."
Gevorkian declared that the financial cost of making "Tevanik" was $176,000, but if the assistance of the NKR government were to be monetized, the total cost would have been roughly half a million dollars. While this may be a trifling sum compared to Hollywood budgets, it is extremely difficult to raise in Armenia. Yet with this small sum, a film was produced that, according to film critic Carlos Aguilar, was a contender in the 2015 Academy Awards. The problem is that Avetisyan and his team did not have enough money to market the film appropriately.
Avetisyan wants to do things differently with his new film. Called "The Last Inhabitant," it is about the collapse of the Soviet Union, Sumgait, the Karabagh conflict and related events. Its trailer was shown to the Boston audience. Several internationally famous actors have agreed to participate in it at greatly reduced rates of compensation. It will be filmed in the summer of 2015, with an approximate cost of $250,000. Avetisyan still is in debt for $95,000 of this total. The US tour of "Tevanik" was intended to raise money for this new film.
Gevorkian said, "Film art is the only way for us to make our voice heard in the world. Our enemy works to make sure we cannot make these films. If we cannot raise some $40-50,000 now in five or six communities in the US, let us not talk about the Armenian Cause. There are no corporations helping us. We are raising $500 here, $1,000 there."
The Hyasa Center (hyasa.org), a nonprofit organization in Los Angeles, is the US vehicle for fundraising for the film. Gevorkian is the head of its entertainment division. In Armenia, Avetisyan has an organization called Fish Eye Arts which also does fundraising.

Q: Java Webservice requests userName and password before using it Haay everyone.
I have a problem with a web service. I am using websphere to host my WAR appl and to generate the code from a wsdl i use jaxws-tools.sh that comes with websphere.
The problem that i have is this:
I would like that a client, whenever he wants to call my web application, that he has to send username and password so in can check it in the database and confirm his log in. The main thing of user loging in is that when client calls a function on my webservice, lets say "getBooks", the server returns him only the books he can see. "getBooks" function doesn't request any parameters, because he is loged in. When the user logs in i would create the session but i still need the user name and password. Any ideas how to request them?
I was looking at Axis2 and it isn't good for this job.
All the calls are made by SOAP.
Im sorry for any bad writing but im to much in a thinking rush here so sorry.
Here is a little sayHello war that i made for you to see how i work.
Source code is in there too.
MyWebApplication
Im developing the web services in Java
As container I am using WebSphere
Runing JDK 1.6
For any help i would be very grateful.
Thank you very much in advance.
Lp, Mesni

A: From The Elite Gentleman:
Set an Authorization on your server so that when anyone access your webservice, They have to authenticate else access will fail. Just like what RESTful API's do.
My add:
Then you can use the Light Weight Third Party Authentication (LTPA) to create a one-singin where you get a session cookie whit which you access to your application.
The users that sing in have to be added into the websphere so they can be authenticated.


Oak is the main timber we use. It is beautiful, hard wearing and if well maintained will last a lifetime.
We can create wooden signs to almost any size. On larger signs, over 150mm in height - we use 30mm quarter sawn oak which, although expensive, is a very stable timber.
The lettering and images are sand-blasted into the oak.
Letter Colours - We can paint the letters in the following colours - Black, brown, red, purple, white, bright blue, navy blue and green. We can also leave the letters unpainted and send out without varnish or danish oil for you to finish @ 10% discount.
Holes - We can drill holes in the sign for you - 2 for a sign 100mm high, 4 for larger signs. Alternatively you could use one of the many adhesives on the market. We have found CT1 or Power Grad n Bond to be very effective. If you can't find locally we can supply . (lasts for up to a year in the tube for other fixing jobs) - UK delivery only.
The minimum letter size is 25mm.

Missi Henderson watched as the rodeo cowboys her older son had aspired to become one day competed Monday night at the National Finals Rodeo.
It was a night of smiles and tears for the 43-year-old Winfield, Kansas, mother, as she held her younger son, Murphy, 4, and nestled under the arm of her husband, Shane, 46, a former pro-rodeo steer wrestler.
Three months earlier, 7-year-old Max died Sept. 15, following a roping practice when his pony, Lickety Split, reared and fell on top of him.
Henderson said she doesn't want her son's life reduced to a sad story. She wants it to be one of encouragement and inspiration. She doesn't want people to focus on how her "rodeo kid" died, but instead on how he lived.
She wants people to #LiveLikeMax.
On Monday, friends and NFR competitors approached Henderson at Thomas & Mack Center to offer hugs, filling her eyes with tears. But that smile never left her face. She smiled at seeing loved ones and competitors wearing cowboy hats adorned with white feathers bearing the words "LIVE LIKE Max."
Max loved hard, prayed hard and played hard. That's how people should remember him, Henderson said this week.
"Right when we found out he was gone, we just knew we didn't want his death to be for nothing," she said.
The Hendersons, who own and operate a tree service, hope to create a foundation to fund a camp for young aspiring rodeo competitors.
Rodeo family support
Henderson's 16-year-old niece, Libby Berger, made feathers in Max's honor for every competitor in the Central Plains Rodeo Association finals two weeks after his death. At the NFR, dozens of competitors also wore the feathers on their hats.
"That whole thing has touched the rodeo family immensely," Susan Kanode, a friend from Paradise, Texas, said Tuesday.
Reigning world champion team roper Clay Smith dedicated his win in the third round of the NFR to Max and the Henderson family.
Steer wrestler Riley Duvall of Checotah, Oklahoma, said that anyone who rodeos knows the Henderson family. "Everyone wearing the feather wants them to know we've got their back, and we're praying for them," he said Tuesday night.
Kanode said the family strives to be happy and find laughter. "They are keeping joy at the forefront. That's what that little boy would have wanted," she said, noting the family's church is building a playground dedicated to Max.
'He never had a bad day'
Max packed a lot of living into his seven years.
He competed in junior rodeo events including barrel racing, tying goats, roping dummy calves and riding sheep since he was 3.
Henderson said her son was an excellent winner and an even better loser. As soon as he lost, she said, he would cheer on his friends. "He never had a bad day," she said.
The family's Facebook page is filled with photos and videos of Max. Amid videos of him competing in rodeo events is one of Max extracting his own baby tooth by tying it to an arrow and shooting it out with a bow. In another, he is spraying his mom with car wash wand water.
Max was a joyful kid, full of fun and quick to laugh. "It was like raising a college freshman," Henderson said. "At any moment he might rip his shirt off and start dancing."
For her birthday just weeks before his death, Max arranged for his dad to watch his little brother so his mother could have him all to herself for seven hours. It was a gift Henderson said she'll always cherish.
In a Facebook post earlier this year, she wrote: "You saved countless souls: made better people, parents, cowboys, competitors and kids spanning thousands of miles.
"While I will miss you until God calls me home — and I have many tears left to shed — I also have work left to be done."
"Your Daddy, brother and I will honor you by Living Like Max until the second God calls us to join you," her Facebook post reads. "Listen for our laughter. In it we call to you, sweet Max. Love Mom"

The Fields of Consciousness classes enhance awareness, consciousness, health, and healing by working through the subtle energy fields to discover what is restricting their flow and what will support their wholeness.
Dr. David Hawkins states, "Enlightenment is merely the emergence of truth when the obstructions to the realization of that truth have been removed. By analogy, the shining of the sun is not conditional upon the removal of the clouds; it merely becomes apparent." And so in the FOC work, we clear the "cloud coverage" so the light of our essence can shine brightly!
All energy work is done through the subtle energy fields. The Etheric Field and Nadis are the densest expression of the Spiritual. The nervous system and nerve pathways are the highest vibratory aspect of the physical. The point of intersection of the Etheric and Nadis with the nervous system is the place where Spirit and Matter meet. In FOC I, students will discover new and exciting ways of effecting significant and lasting shifts in overall health, well being, and consciousness by working with the nerve pathways, nadis, and the Etheric field.
We each experience various restrictions in the Etheric, Astral, Mental, and Soul aspects of our being. We may have "learned behaviors" or carry unconscious family, social, or cultural patterns of fearful living, false perceptions of truth, and self/Self restricting energies. Devitalizing energies, such as anxiety, stress, trauma, and fear can be cleared or neutralized in our various subtle body fields and effect increased balance and vitality in our chakras and energy usage. Fields of Consciousness energy work brings a truly dynamic way of healing the relationship between one's inner and outer worlds and provides ways to support Self development on all levels.
Prerequisites: This class is open to students who have taken Vibrational Energy Healing I and II or Esoteric Healing classes. A working knowledge and experience with the subtle energies is primary.
