David J. DeWitt's widespread impact on database technology includes developing new architectures and performance analysis metrics and creating one of the world's leading academic research groups. Dr. DeWitt led the evolution of database architectures by developing many of the algorithms used in parallel database systems and by building their prototypes. His Gamma database represented a move toward using an array of general-purpose computers working in parallel to process data instead of special-purpose "database machines." Today's commercial parallel systems can be traced back to the Gamma database.
He also pioneered the idea of multimedia and object-oriented databases that can handle digital images, audio, video and Internet content. Dr. DeWitt developed the benchmarks that have become the standard performance metrics for the industry. The University of Wisconsin-Madison's database group of the Computer Science Department was founded by Dr. DeWitt, and the group has produced some of the top names in the field. He is currently a Technical Fellow, Microsoft Jim Gray Systems Lab, Madison, Wisconsin.

I will go to Ireland this summer. We were really good. Even June is not so far off. Our relations with our director are excellent. I know Winston saved Stu's life. We're thrilled to be back. Apology accepted. Tell me again when the concert begins. Put the meat in the refrigerator, or it will rot. From the top of that tall building, you can easily see the city.
We watched Ukrainian movies with subtitles in Esperanto. The general participated in the plot with his men. I'm looking for recipes for a chocolate cake without any chocolate. I'll be right back with your drinks. An expert appraised the value of the watch as two hundred dollars. Don't jinx me. I'd like something to eat. I'm sick of your excuses, Hurf. We've run into similar problems before. If you have an idea, write it down, or it may be gone forever. I even make notes in my passport.
Being admitted to the doctorate is going to be a great challenge. Give up, give up your vain pursuit! If labor pains would hurt so much as people say, everyone would only have one child! Everybody was really happy. I just don't trust her. She lost the bet. Were they right? Body and spirit are twins: God only knows which is which. I told you this was going to be fun. How long will you stay in Kyoto?
I'm surprised it was that easy. I didn't call an ambulance. You're so cold. I don't think I can help you very much. We can talk here. No problem. Do you really care why I quit smoking? It's national tell-a-lie day! And yes, I made that up. I need to sleep now. Philippe is a hard person to please. You can not swim here.
We spent a lot of time looking for a parking lot. Chuck isn't as easy to get along with as Jianyun is. Alex is staring out of the window. Kelantan is one of the states in West Malaysia. The world is full of smartasses. I'm feeling down. Take it easy! Don't be so nervous. I'm quite busy. How long has it been since you saw your girlfriend? The kid did a job on my dictionary.
I'm home for the weekend. How much is the late fee? I'm going to go withdraw some money. What's your favorite holiday tradition? As if fleeing, he left the vegetable aisle to go to the meat corner. You've been here all night, haven't you? Thad slept in the car. We agreed on a date for the next meeting. Do you know his older brother? See you back at the precinct.
You could say that. He and only he knows the whole truth. I think about you every day. Pugs are not cute. He kept the secret to himself. Come close, young heroes! Lana denied these charges. Have you ever forgotten your phone number? Don't ever say that to him. Dan is considering living in London forever.
I regretted having wasted a great deal of time. I wish you had told me the truth then. I'd like to see Jin immediately. Just let me talk to her. What on earth gave you that idea? The bus stopped to take on passengers. There is a park near my house. I know it's going to hurt. Today's broccoli is not good because it has been boiled for too long. I was compelled to do all the work alone.
Your tea will get cold if you don't drink it soon. Alex told me that he would come again. Klaudia and Willie eat steak two or three times a week. I think he just looked at me. That's what you always do. Why would Louis be angry at you? Thank you for your kindness in seeing me. What do you want to give them? Let me pay for it. It took us a long time to make this decision.
I didn't know he had a weak heart. We're in the middle of something here. I know where Patricio would be if he had any choice. Darrell got off at the next bus stop. Don't believe what she says. Did I do something stupid? Can you remember what we're supposed to do? The cause hasn't been pinpointed. Soon after graduating from trade school, Ray Murphy was taken on as a machinist at the local automobile plant. It's just a precaution.

ST. THERESE'S ROAD TO SAINTHOOD
"My God...I love you." (St. Thérèse's last words on her death bed)
The Canonization Process of St. Thérèse of Lisieux: Thèrése became a saint because of the way she responded wholeheartedly to God's love and the grace of the Holy Spirit within her. We believe that God embraced her upon her death and shared with her the risen life of Jesus in Heaven. While the Church recognizes the holiness and sanctity of many good people, official canonization is a long process. The Roman Catholic Church seeks definite signs before officially declaring someone a saint.
In the case of St. Thérèse, the process went swiftly. In the popular piety of the people, she became a saint in their hearts even before the official declaration introducing the cause for her canonization. This official declaration was introduced on June 10, 1914, by Pope Pius X. The next step, being declared "Venerable" occurs when evidence is found of extraordinary holiness and inspiration; this happened for Thèrése on August 14, 1921, when Benedict XV made the declaration. In order to move to the next step, "Beatification," two certified miracles are needed--both of which must be attributed to the intercession of that person with God in Heaven. Miracles must involve situations where there is no other natural explanation. They are evidence of supernatural intervention, through intercessionary help.
Shortly after Pope Pius X had signed the decree for the introduction of St. Thèrése's cause, a priest said to him that there was nothing extraordinary in the life of Thèrése. The Pontiff replied: "What is most extraordinary about this soul is precisely her extreme simplicity. Consult your theology." This theological truth, that sanctity lies in simplicity, is the teaching most needed in our time. It was the littleness of St. Thèrése, that is to say, her utter dependence on God, her complete dependence as a little child, and with it the confidence which only a little child can possess, with which God fashioned His Saint. It is upon these foundations alone that God can build true greatness.
The rapidity with which her cause went forward was literally unparalleled in the Church. Pope Pius XI beatified St. Thérèse on April 29, 1923, and canonized her a little over two years later on May 17, 1925--only 28 years after her death. This was especially extraordinary considering that, normally, a cause is not even introduced until at least fifty years after the person's death--and oftentimes not for hundreds of years. Here are the details leading up to Thèrése's canonization:
September 1910--Prior to Opening Her Cause for Canonization: During her last illness, Sister Thèrése of the Child Jesus had often asserted her desire that, after her death, nothing of her would be found if her body was exhumed, save her bones. "You have loved God too much for that to happen," said a novice to her shortly before her death. "He will work a miracle for you, and we shall find your body incorrupt." "Oh, no!" answered Thèrése, "That miracle would be to stray away from my little path of humility, and little souls must not find anything in me to be envied."
On September 6, 1910, the remains of St. Thèrése were exhumed to make sure of their being preserved, but without any intention of exposing them to the veneration of the faithful. Efforts had been made to keep the matter secret; but in spite of the precaution, it became known, and hundreds made their way to the cemetery.
The work of taking up the remains presented great difficulties, as the coffin lay at a depth of over eleven feet, and was in a very bad state of decay. The operations were directed by an expert in this kind of work. He had boards slipped under the coffin, the bottom of which threatened to give way. Both coffin and boards were surrounded with strong canvas and lashed together with stout leather straps. After much delay and anxiety, the men succeeded in bringing up the coffin without any mishap.
When it came into sight, the Bishop intoned David's Canticle in praise of the Lord, "Who raise s up the lowly from the dust...that He may place him with the princes of His people?" (Ps. 7:8). Through the loose boards was seen, fresh and green as ever, the palm which had been laid upon the remains of Thèrése on October 4, 1897. Perhaps a symbol of the immortal palm she had won by her martyrdom of self—that martyrdom of which she had written: "I desire at all costs to win the Palm of Agnes; if not by the shedding of blood, then by Love."
The coffin was then opened. Two workmen, a father and son—one of them the carpenter who had made it—were standing close by as this was done, and they noticed a strong scent of violets, for which there was no natural explanation, and it made a deep impression upon them.
At first her garments appeared to have been preserved, but on closer inspection, it was seen that both the veils and the wimple had completely disintegrated; moreover, the coarse thick material of the Carmelite dress had become quite flimsy and could easily be torn. Finally, as the humble nun had desired, nothing was found of her except her bones. One of the doctors wished to present Msgr. Lemonnier with a fragment of the latter, but he forbid any of the remains to be taken away, and would accept only the little cross that had been placed in the hands of Thèrése.
The old coffin was then laid in a shell of lead, and this within another of oak. A new robe was placed on the sacred remains, while the skull was covered with a veil and surrounded with roses. These had been gathered from the very rose trees whose blooms the saintly Thèrése had so often cast at the foot of the cross on the convent grounds.
Afterwards, the coffin was placed upon a trestle in front of the entrance to the graveyard. For forty-five minutes, there was a constant succession of people bringing pious objects to touch to the sacred remains. The Bishop of Bayeux had been the first to touch a cloth to her bones. Workmen, who had nothing else available, were seen to touch their wedding rings to the remains. It is estimated that over five hundred people paid their respects after having waited three hours. The hearts of those present felt an increase of fervor and devotion.
The oak coffin was then sealed shut and placed in a new grave which had been dug a short distance from the first and lined with bricks. That evening the boards from the first coffin, along with a few bits of the clothing and the palm, were all taken to the convent. The Sister who had been sent to gather them together was on two distinct occasions favored with a scent of roses. At other times, pieces of clothing and of the coffin emitted a fragrance of incense.
On September 5, the day before the exhumation, St. Thèrése made a miraculous appearance to the Mother Prioress of the Carmel of Gallipoli in Italy, and told her that the next day nothing would be found of her remains except her bones, while she made her foresee at the same time something of the wonders she would afterwards perform. The Reverend Mother summed up her impression in the words: "Her blessed remains will work great miracles and will be as mighty weapons against Satan."
A few weeks later a certain University Professor heard of the result of the disinterment. A man of great intellect and sanctity, he had received all manner of graces from St. Thèrése since he came to know of her more than ten years before. He was grieved at first that the Saint had been made subject to the law of nature, and as he dwelt upon these gloomy thoughts, he heard a voice within him say, "It was the robe of my working days I laid aside. I await the robe of the Eternal Sunday; I am little concerned as to what happens to the other." "And then," added the Professor, "an interior light consoled me, and I understood that by means of this dissolution the very atoms of her body would be scattered throughout the world, so that not only her soul but also her body might be present and do good upon earth. Indeed, it seems to me that everything which has really belonged to the body of a saint is sacred, and if this be so, not only the bones but also the invisible molecules of matter may possess and carry afar the grace that accompanies relics."
On August 14, 1921, Pope Benedict XV, declared that Thérèse had lived a life of heroic virtue, the declaration which gave her the title, "Venerable." After Pope Benedict died early in 1922, Pope Pius XI continued her cause.
Beatification: In 1923 the Church approved of two spontaneous cures unexplained by medical treatment. After praying to St. Thèrése, Sister Louise of St. Germain was cured of the stomach ulcers she suffered with from 1913 to 1916. During the night of September 10, 1916, St. Therese appeared to Sr. Louise and said: "Be generous, you will recover soon, I promise you". However, in the morning, several nuns found rose petals of all colors strewn around the bed of the patient. A few days later, on September 22, Sister awoke fully healed. Supporting the treating doctor's certificate are a conclusive X-ray and two reports--one from the eminent Dr. Bec, a Surgeon at St. Joseph Hospital in Paris, and another one from Dr. Victor Pauchet, a highly recognized doctor—confirming the supernatural nature of this sudden and sustainable transformation.
The second cure involved Charles Anne, a 23-year-old seminarian who was dying from advanced pulmonary tuberculosis. The night he thought he was dying, Charles prayed to Thérèse. Afterward, the examining doctor testified, "The destroyed and ravaged lungs have been replaced by new lungs, carrying out their normal functions and about to revive the entire organism. A slight emaciation persists, which will disappear within a few days under a regularly assimilated diet." The cures having been declared "miraculous," on April 29, 1923, she was Beatified by Pope Pius XI in St. Peter's Basilica--which declared her "Blessed Thèrése of Lisieux".
Canonization: The outpouring from all over the world again spurred Pope Pius XI to dispense with canon law's time frames. Once she was declared Blessed, it took only two years for the next two miracles to be approved. In 1925, two cures had been investigated and judged to be supernatural, through the intercession of St. Thérèse. The first involved Sr. Gabrielle Trimusi from Parma, Italy.
Sr. Gabrielle who, at the age of twenty-three had entered the Convent of the Poor Daughters of the Sacred Heart in Parma, Italy, began in 1913 to suffer from pain in her left knee. She was in the habit of breaking the firewood across her knee, and this caused a lesion at the joint which prepared the way for a tuberculous infection. The trouble began with a dull pain, then the knee became swollen, and finally loss of appetite brought about emaciation. She was attended by two physicians, but without success, so that three years later she was sent to Milan, where injections, sunbaths, and various other forms of treatment were tried in vain; at the end of four years the spine itself became affected. The invalid returned to Parma, where several doctors diagnosed it as a case of tuberculous lesion, and prescribed general remedies. A radiograph of the knee revealed at this period the existence of periostitis at the head of the tibia. Taken to the hospital, she was once more subjected to X-rays, but while there was attacked by Spanish influenza, and began to suffer fresh and constantly increasing pain in the vertebral column. All remedies proving ineffective, she was recommended by a priest on June 13, 1923, to join in a public novena in honor of Blessed Thérèse. She joined in the prayers, more concerned, however, over the health of the other nuns than her own. The close of the novena coincided with the close of a triduum in a neighboring Carmel, and several of the nuns--Gabriella among the rest-- sought permission to attend the ceremony. On her return, after slowly and painfully effecting the short journey, she entered the chapel of the Community, where the others were already assembled. The Superioress exhorted her to pray with confidence, and bade her go to her place. Strange to say, the invalid knelt down unconsciously on her knee without feeling the slightest pain, nor did she realize what she had done, on account of the increase of suffering at the moment in the spine. She next went to the refectory with the others, and, the meal finished, slowly mounted the stairs. Going into the first room that she saw, she took off the apparatus she wore to support the spine, and cried out loudly: "I am cured, I am cured!" Sister Gabriella Trimusi returned at once to her labors and the exercises of religious life, without either pain or fatigue. The doctors appointed by the Sacred Congregation discussed the miracle at great length, and decided that the lesion at the knee was chronic arthrosynovitis and the spinal trouble was chronic spondulitis. These two lesions, rebellious to all other treatment, yielded to God's power, and Sister Gabriella, by a miracle, recovered her health permanently.
The final cure involved Maria Pellemans of Schaerbeck, Belgium. In October 1919, Maria Pellemans was a victim of pulmonary tuberculosis which had spread, as Thérèse's illness had, to her intestines. This was followed by gastritis and enteritis, both of them likewise of a tuberculous nature. She was medically attended at home, then in a sanitorium. In August 1920, she went to Lourdes, but all to no purpose. In March, 1923, she accompanied a small band of pilgrims to Lisieux, and while kneeling at the tomb of the Blessed Thérèse she was suddenly restored to perfect health. The original diagnosis of pulmonary and intestinal tuberculosis was made by a Dr. Vandensteen, who also examined Maria after she came back from visiting Thérèse's grave. The doctor testified, "I found Miss Pellemans literally transformed. This young woman, previously out of breath from the least movement, now moves about without fatigue; she eats everything given to her, with a very good appetite. The abdomen presents no tender point, when formerly the least pressure produced severe pain. All symptoms of tubercular ulceration of the intestine have disappeared." In reports predating Maria's return to health, two other physicians confirmed Dr. Vandensteen's diagnosis of pulmonary and intestinal tuberculosis.
On May 17, 1925, just over two years after her beatification, Thérèse was officially declared a Saint by Pope Pius XI, while her four sister nuns were still living. The scene in St. Peter's was said to be almost impossible to describe; the gathering was the largest and most distinguished for centuries. Thirty-four cardinals were present, and over two hundred bishops and innumerable representatives from religious orders and missionary societies. Bishop Michael James Gallagher, D.D., (Bishop of Detroit,1918-1937), who was present at the canonization, wrote: "I never witnessed such a magnificent spectacle as when the Holy Father, surrounded by hundreds of bishops and dignitaries, hundreds of guards in brilliant medieval uniforms, and a vast concourse of 80,000 people, solemnly declared the humble nun a saint of God. The scene at the Consecration of the Mass was sublime beyond description. In Jerusalem of old, at the sound of a trumpet, 100,000 Israelites in the streets or on the roofs of their houses, all turned toward the temple and fell on their knees. That scene was dwarfed by the grand spectacle in St. Peter's. Thousands of soldiers who stood till then, fell on their knees, and a hush came over the vast throng, and then Christ descended on the altar, which became another Bethlehem, while high up in the dome a trumpet sounded and thousands outside joined with those in the basilica in an act of adoration. No court in the world could ever evoke such splendor and enthusiasm."
In the "Bull of Canonization" of St. Thérèse, Pope Pius XI wrote, "This Virgin, truly wise and prudent, walked in the way of the Lord in the simplicity of her soul, and being made perfect in a short space, fulfilled a long time. Thereafter, while still in the flower of her years, she was called to Paradise to receive the crown which her heavenly Spouse had prepared for her. During her lifetime she was known only to a few, but immediately after her saintly death her fame spread abroad in marvellous fashion throughout the whole Christian world, on account of the innumerable wonders wrought by Almighty God at her intercession. Indeed, it seemed as if, in accordance with her dying promise, she were letting fall upon earth a Shower of Roses. Hence, it came to pass that Holy Church decided to bestow upon her the high honors reserved for the Saints without observing the statutory delays."

Other notable titles given to St. Therese: On December 14, 1927, Pope Pius XI declared her the Universal Patron of the Missions. On October 19, 1997, just over one hundred years after her death, Pope John Paul II declared her a Doctor of the Church, only the third female saint to receive that title. (For the homily Pope John Paul gave, go to: http://www.catholicculture.org/culture/library/view.cfm?recnum=233).
To this day, St. Thérèse is still sending miracles to earth, her "Shower of Roses."

A magnetic drill press is great for a variety of things. The most important feature many people look for in magnetic drills is – portability. It can be quite time-consuming to try to maneuver a large piece of metal inside a workshop. These units allow you to take the tool to the workpiece instead of bringing the workpiece to the tool. In case you're in the business of construction, steel fabrication, welding, and etcetera, a magnetic drill press might be a good choice.
Mag drill presses come in various sizes and weights. Some are foreseen for heavy-duty drilling applications, while the others can cope with small to mid-sized projects. As far as the price goes, these tools are definitely not cheap, but they are a worthy investment for people who need a powerful drill on a daily basis.
If you're not a professional metal worker, getting one of these might not be as cost-effective as you would imagine. Even though these drills can tackle a demanding project and drill through any metal, they aren't the number-one choice for other applications. Therefore, while they are somewhat versatile, they also have certain limitations. Regular maintenance is also a thing you should keep in mind if you're planning on investing in one of these. That shouldn't be a major issue for experienced users, but most novices tend to struggle to keep up the pace when it comes to maintenance frequency.
While mag drill presses are relatively easy to use, they aren't the number-one recommendation for newcomers. As you can tell, even though most of these units are user-friendly, we recommend getting something less complex if it's your first heavy-duty tool ever.
This unit features two speeds and a 10-amp motor. It also has overload protection which prevents motor damage and significantly increases its life. The Quick-change chuck system is a great addition because it allows you to set up and fine-tune the drill on the go instead of having to use a bunch of proprietary tools.
The design is pretty conventional, but the materials used are quite sturdy and reliable. In fact, the majority of the unit is made of metal parts which significantly increase the lifespan of this model. The 4-inch travel offers great capacity for most heavy-duty applications. One of the things many people notice is that you can mount the coolant bottle on either side of the machine. It may not seem as important and relevant, but you can rest assured it's quite appreciated, especially by avid professionals. The controls are pretty simple; there are two on/off switches and one LED indicator for overload protection. All you have to do in order to start using this machine is plug it in and turn it on. There is no assembly required which is great news for absolute beginners.
As far as the downsides go, there aren't many, but some things were pointed out by a couple of users. Quite a few people didn't like the Quick-change chuck system as it tends to get loose after a while and wobble. As you can assume, wobbling is something that can jeopardize both the integrity of the machine and your safety. On top of that, some people complained about its weight, but it's not a big deal because it's not a handheld unit. The price is reasonable and acceptable, but it's definitely not cheap. In case you're struggling with your budget, there might be better options for you on the market.
Milwaukee is well-known for making easy-to-use tools that are suitable both for hobbyists and professionals. The 4270-21 model is durable, simple, and most importantly – affordable. It features a 9-amp motor which has more than enough power to drill through steel or any other metal without breaking a sweat. The unit weighs about 26 pounds and is easy to carry around thanks to the carrying handle.
The design is pretty good. The machine is made of reliable and sturdy materials which guarantee long life and smooth performance. As we mentioned, it's quite portable and easy to carry around thanks to the neatly positioned carrying handle. Also, the control panel is quite straightforward with only two buttons. It is on the back of the unit which may not seem as important, but it's quite appreciated by many users as most other models feature buttons on the side. The two-coil magnet provides 2300 lbs. of deadlift force on 1-inch thick steel. As you can tell, it features a strong magnet which ensures firmness and stability.
When it comes to the shortcomings, there are a few things you should keep in mind. First of all, quite a lot of people complained about not getting all the accessories from the seller's picture. It's a common thing nowadays and you should always check with the manufacturer before actually ordering. Plenty of companies put a bunch of additional accessories in their product's picture, even though they are not included. Needless to say, the only way you can be absolutely sure is by contacting the customer support department. While it's not a downside per se, some people didn't like the premium price. Truth be told, it may seem expensive, but it's definitely a worthy investment due to the quality and versatility of features.
In case you're looking for a low profile unit with a bunch of great features, the REVO model might be a nice choice. This unit features a one-speed 1100W motor and it has a cutting capacity of 1-3/8 inches. The overall weight of this unit is 22 pounds which is not particularly heavy, but it could have been a bit lighter considering it's a low profile unit.
The design is what makes this particular unit different from the others on our list. As you can tell, it's a low profile machine, and as such, it's quite compact and easy to carry around. Therefore, if you're looking for high portability, the REVO model might offer some neat solutions. On top of that, the magnetic adhesion is 3365 pounds which is more or less one of the strongest we have covered thus far. The immense force guarantees great stability and consistency. The unit also features a LED light which helps a lot when it comes to visibility improvements. The control panel is also quite simplistic and it doesn't contain any redundant buttons or controls.
It's quite hard to find a single disadvantage of this particular model. It performs well and as advertised. It also has a pretty acceptable cutting capacity even though there are other models with a larger capacity. The only thing you might not like is the price. While it's very reasonable and expected, some people consider it to be too much. As far as we are concerned, it's a worthy investment regardless of the price, especially if you're an avid professional. However, the machine is quite easy to use meaning even beginners can handle it quite well. Needless to say, make sure to read the user manual before turning the unit on for the first time. It's always better to be safe than sorry.
Before You Buy: How a Magnetic Drill Press Works?
In order for you to find a good mag drill press, there are some things you should be aware of. In fact, it's strongly recommended that you research and get familiar with the basic principles of these machines so that you can buy something and not regret it immediately. Many people decide against this and most of them consequently end up with a unit that doesn't meet their expectations or simply isn't as good as they were expected to be.
The adhesive power of the magnet is probably the most important thing for stability and consistency of a mag drill press. Therefore, you should always look for powerful magnets as they are essential for a pleasant experience.
Most models are corded and they use electricity as a source of power. However, there are a few battery-powered models on the market that are on par with corded ones. When it comes to choice, it all depends on your requirements. If you're looking for high portability, go with cordless units. On the other hand, if you aren't concerned about it, corded models are much more powerful and efficient.
Even though using a coolant isn't mandatory, it's highly recommended. Concentrated lubricants significantly increase tool life and that's why it's important that you use it. Luckily, most modern models come with a coolant reservoir included meaning you won't have to make any additional investments. However, make sure you read the product description because not all units come with a reservoir.
Unlike most other types, this particular one requires regular and frequent maintenance. It's not mandatory, but it helps a lot when it comes to prolonging the tool's life. Even though maintenance can be tedious and complex, it's not something you should ignore. In fact, it's strongly recommended that you get familiar with the parts, systems, and mechanisms within your drill so that you can perform maintenance without getting stuck with an unfamiliar part or mechanism.
In case you're interested and want to invest in one of these, make sure to read our buyer's guide as it contains a lot of tips and tricks you can use in order to get the best possible deal. Many people decide to buy the first thing they consider appropriate which is a completely wrong strategy. It leads to overpaying and buying something that won't meet your expectations and needs. In order to find a good deal for yourself, we would recommend following some of these tips.
As one can assume, the overall power output is probably one of the most important elements you should be paying attention to. The power output varies greatly from unit to unit and it's essential that you keep an eye on it or else you might end up with an underpowered unit that won't be able to cope with the projects you have in mind. Power values can be expressed in amps or watts and there is no "right" value. However, one shouldn't go with units that are under 1000W or 8 amps of power. On the other hand, it's not a rule of thumb per se meaning you can invest in units with less power, but you shouldn't expect a miraculous performance.
What makes a drill good is its design. There is no use in having a tool that isn't compact and is hard to carry around. While many people think that ergonomics don't play a role when it comes to tools that aren't handheld, that is not true. Ergonomics do play a role, but it's not as significant as in handheld models. In simpler words, you should keep an eye on the ergonomic aspect, but it shouldn't be the deciding factor.
You should also look for units that are equipped with dual carrying handles as that alleviates the hassles of moving the tool around by a lot. Also, with reversible handles, you'll get greater stability and consistency. On top of that, some models feature removable handles which are designed to ensure good performance both for left-handed and right-handed people.
This is the feature that most people overlook or forget about. However, it's quite important and should be considered at all times. The idea behind this is pretty simple – you should always look out for strong magnets as they are one of the essential components for stability and consistency. In simpler words, a mag drill press isn't worth much if it isn't able to attach to a metal surface smoothly.
Make sure you find a drill press with variable speed. The one-speed units aren't bad per se, but two-speed ones are definitely more versatile and offer better options. On top of that, if you're looking for consistent performance, avoid getting battery-powered models, especially if you're planning on tackling a demanding project. Cordless units are great for home use but aren't recommended for applications that include massive things like highways, bridges, offshore rigs, and etcetera.
Contrary to popular belief, bigger is not always better. That also applies to mag drill presses as well. Instead of buying the largest and most cumbersome one you can find, think about getting something that will meet your requirements. Now, if you're an avid professional that handles heavy-duty projects on a daily basis, then bigger is probably better. However, if you don't need a drill for everyday use, going with a compact one would be a good choice. On top of that, if you're really concerned about size, low profile models might offer a good solution to your issues.
Try not to associate the price with the quality of a particular model because it's not how things work in this industry. In simpler words, a more expensive solution isn't always a better one. In fact, it's usually the other way around because there are plenty of other models with similar features but for less money. That's why it's important that you conduct research before opting for a particular model in order to avoid unpleasant scenarios.
If you're on a tight budget, we would recommend sacrificing additional features for quality and performance. In other words, you should always opt for quality instead of quantity because there is no use in having dozens of auxiliary features if the unit isn't able to handle the pressure.
Mag drill presses are great tools for a vast variety of applications. However, they usually serve a specific purpose instead of being an all-around tool. Therefore, if you're looking for something that offers a great deal of versatility when it comes to different applications, it might be better to look into handheld models. On the other hand, if you need something that goes through hard metal like a hot knife through butter, these drills are the perfect solution.
As we mentioned, make sure you keep your tool in good condition by performing regular maintenance. Also, use lubricants as much as you can as they prolong the lifespan of your tool by a significant margin. If you want a more detailed in-depth look into the units we have covered, don't hesitate to check our full reviews out.

A desperate Salomon Smith Barney is expected in Washington today for a pow-wow with regulators as the beleaguered brokerage seeks a global settlement to end the troubles caused by its analysts' conflicts of interest.
But Citigroup's Salomon Smith Barney investment bank won't be the only Wall Street brokerage at today's meeting at the Securities and Exchange Commission offices, said a source familiar with the talks.
In a surprise move, representatives of other big brokerages may also attend the sit-down, the source explained.
If Wall Streeters are successful, the talks could pave the way for a global settlement with the National Association of Securities Dealers, the SEC and the New York Stock Exchange – all of which are investigating analyst conflicts of interest.
The NASD, SEC and NYSE declined to comment about today's meeting. Other firms under investigation include Credit Suisse First Boston and Morgan Stanley; both declined to comment.
"We remain strongly committed to restoring investor confidence and are eager to discuss any proposals towards that goal with our regulators," said Kathleen Baum, spokesperson for Goldman Sachs, also facing a probe.
Baum declined to comment further.
An early settlement might keep incriminating internal memos and e-mails – like the ones that got Merrill Lynch to knuckle under to New York Attorney General Eliot Spitzer, paying $100 million and promising reforms to separate banking from research – from being made public.
Other sources think it's too soon for a settlement by the investment banks, as the investigations are probably incomplete.

A First Aid Kit for the World /
A more representative UN?
You are here: A more representative UN?
Magazine2020-1: A First Aid Kit for the World
Paige Arthur
Deputy director of New York University's Center on International Cooperation, as well as the director of the Prevention and Peacebuilding program.
Anniversaries are moments for both celebration and reflection. In 2020, we have been observing the anniversaries for the UN's 75th year, as well as the 20th anniversary of the Women, Peace, and Security agenda, and 25 years since the Beijing Gender Equality Plan for Action. Both landmark developments for women's rights at the UN have had a longevity and sustained commitment, but both are more unmoored and under threat now than could have been imagined 25 years ago.
A key element of the UN's effectiveness is its leadership, and many of its leaders have been justly celebrated. In recent years there has been growing support for a more diverse and gender-inclusive cohort of senior leaders at the UN, including a strong push to elect a woman Secretary-General in 2016, and the launch of a new Gender Parity Strategy in 2017. Additionally, we are in the shadow of a global crisis of epic proportions, in which leadership matters more than ever. Effective leadership that represents and deeply understands the challenges that societies are facing is critical in managing the multidimensional risks that COVID-19 has generated—risks that affect everyone, but have disproportionately impacted women and girls.
In order to tackle issues of representation it is vital to understand the scale of the challenge. Until now it has been difficult to collect relevant data—high-level appointments are sensitive, and highly political—diminishing efforts to understand whether or not progress is being made.
This is why the NYU Center on International Cooperation, in collaboration with the NYU Center for Global Affairs, recently launched a UN Senior Leadership Appointments Dashboard. The dashboard analyses the 1,300 senior appointments for which there are UN press releases from October 1995 until present. Our analysis provides data on trends regarding the pace at which the UN is working towards its commitments to more balanced representation—not just in terms of gender, but also across other dimensions such as nationality, UN regional groups, and other characteristics of senior leaders.
What are some of the emerging findings? First, without a doubt, having an active and engaged Secretary-General, alongside an experienced team managing the implementation of the Gender Parity Strategy, has resulted in a sea change of women's representation at the highest levels of the UN. The trend from 2017 to present on women's representation in leadership vastly outpaces the period going back to 1995 (and we can assume, before that). Before 2017, there wasn't a single year in which women's share of appointments exceeded 37% (much less parity at 50%), and in some years there is no press release announcing the appointment of even a single woman to a senior role. Yet from 2017 to present, the average has exceeded 50%, and in some year by quite a bit (57% in 2017 and 62% up to October of this year).
Even in the most difficult professional contexts to attract and maintain female leadership—UN peace operations, which operate in some of the most fragile countries in the world—there has been a marked improvement, including all-female leadership teams for the first time in places like Iraq, Cyprus, and Afghanistan this year alone. From 2017 to October 2020 women represented nearly 50% of all such appointments—a near-instant doubling of the previous trend of 22% from 1996.
The story on gender—although important on its own—also intersects with the one on nationality and region. And here we see that too many of the recent gains, particularly in the UN peace operations contexts, have gone to European and North American women, rather than women from the Global South. This gives a good guidepost for both enhancing the ongoing reform processes regarding senior appointments, and also in galvanizing Member State support for a more representative leadership cohort overall. In general, what is known as the "Western European and Others Group" at the UN, comprised of mostly Western nations, has claimed nearly 50% of all top appointments since 1996—in spite of the fact that they have only 20% of the world's population.
Of course, much still needs to be done to understand the effects of this more inclusive representation at senior levels is translating to practice and effectiveness of institutions. But if we compare the leadership cohort of 2020 even to that in 1996—much less 1945, if we had the data—the changes are dramatic in terms of better reflecting the variety of faces making up our global population. But we should not be complacent; fostering more diverse and inclusive institutions in hard, long-term work. It requires our ongoing engagement and support, especially on practical ideas for reforms that will continue to move the needle.

8 Philosophers That Inspired Ex-Battalion's "Hayaan Mo Sila"
Posted on Jan 23, 2018 May 6, 2021
Kel Fabie
Since November, the airwaves have been inundated with a very catchy melody that sounds a whole lot like Justin Bieber's "You're The One," and it's none other than Ex-Battalion's ditty about not playing the game women want men of their ilk to play, "Hayaan Mo Sila." With a video viewed 2.4 million times (but deserving at least a billion more), this song has captured the much-coveted jeepney market, and marks the next level of jeje rap, seeing as it's hard to dispute how invariably catchy the song really is.
Hindi mo kayang kalimutan na lang iyang video na iyan
Having said that, while it may heavily sample "I'm The One," Ex-Battalion's monster hit is far more than just a pale imitation of an American song. Borrowing from some of the greatest minds across history, the very lyrics of "Hayaan Mo Sila" is filled with so much depth and pathos that you might be genuinely surprised to discover that like "The Matrix," this song is a send-up to some of the greatest philosophers to have ever lived, and perhaps even an economist or two, seeing as the title itself, "Hayaan Mo Sila," is an allusion to Adam Smith's core economic principle of laissez-faire, "let it be" quite literally, which is, at its ideal state, an economic system in which transactions between private parties are completely free from government intervention. Yes: "Hayaan Mo Sila" is a treatise on the neo-capitalistic global society we live in and a harsh critique of the conditions that have led to its less than ideal realities, such as sweatshops and oligopolies dominating the capitalistic arena in a post-imperial age.
Their allegiance to Adam Smith's school of thinking probably explains why they most likely didn't pay royalties for sampling "I'm The One," but I digress.
That the title itself is an homage to one of the most influential economic theories of all time should come as no surprise: Ex-Battalion is simply a fount of deep, existential truths, as this list shows:
Epicurus – Hedonism In Moderation
Via thefamouspeople
Epicurus was the founder of Epicureanism, made popular during the Hellenistic period. His goal was to find the happy life, but not purely in pleasures of the body as most extreme hedonists generally believe, but happiness through tranquility and moderation. For him, it is not so much pleasure, but the absence of pain and fear that brings about a happy, tranquil life.
The Lyrics: Hayaan mo sila/ Sige-sige, maglibang/ Wag kang magpakahibang/ Dapat ay itawa lang
In these lyrics, we see Epicurus in action. Yes, we should amuse ourselves, but we should also do it in moderation, lest we lose ourselves. If anything is too heavy, simply laugh it off! Achieve balance by finding the mean between extremes, and through it, peace of mind and happiness comes.
John Stuart Mill – Utilitarianism
Via biography
For John Stuart Mill, one must maximize happiness to as many sentient beings as possible, because only in maximizing hedons (happiness) and minimizing dolors (suffering) for as many people as possible can we find a reliable way of conducting ourselves, for only these two things have any true intrinsic value as Mill's predecessor, Jeremy Bentham once said.
But this ran deeper than just pleasures and comforts, for Mill was specifically looking for not just quantity, but quality of happiness and welfare in his work, and the realization that being a "dissatisfied human" is better than being a "satisfied pig" makes for an important distinction.
The Lyrics: Sabi ko naman sa'yo, lahat yan nagloloko/ Pagkatapos kang pakinabangan biglang lalayo
That the lyrics express this as far from ideal means that selfish, fleeting pleasures aimed mainly at the self (a bastardized form of egoism, if you will) is actually undesirable. Here, the great poet Bosx1ne posits that the idea that once a person is used up for whatever benefit they had to offer, they become inherently useless (thus, "pagkatapos kang pakinabangan, biglang lalayo"), is very wrong and very dehumanizing. True utilitarianism would seek to find happiness both for the woman and the man in this situation, and everyone around them, instead of seeking it out just for one party.
David Hume – The Is-Ought Problem
Via nautilus
David Hume, a great thinker in the 1700's, was perhaps best known for his seminal work, "A Treatise of Human Nature," where he tackled the issue of the "is-ought problem," as he noted that most ethical claims are made about what things ought to be on the basis of what currently is. As such, this dilemma contributes to people believing things like "gay people do not deserve the right to marry," because that is what is the norm, and they wish for it to conform with how things ought to be.
The Lyrics: Hindi kita sa dina-down, down, down, 'tol pumili ka kase/ Karamihan kasi now kung makuha, madali
While it is descriptive that we are with someone right now and we are happy, it should not be prescriptive to be with someone just to find happiness.
Here, Jnske emphasizes one of Hume's greatest lessons: that while we think that because we're together with someone we love, we ought to be together forever is the wrong thinking. That if anything, the fact is, what we get now is easy, so it is likewise logical to expect that it will also be easy to dispose of. This is an idea that should comfort us, instead of getting us down, down, down, because the choice is ultimately ours.
Socrates – Knowing That One Does Not Know
Socrates is often known as one of the greatest Greek philosophers, but little else is known about him, compared to his students, Plato and Aristotle. That being said, one of his most popular, albeit likely apocryphal declarations that the only thing he knows is that he knows nothing, and it is in this admission that he is not wise that he raises himself up inadvertently to the level of being wise, for he knows that he does not know.
It's just like the great thinkers Zayn, Styles, Horan, Payne, and Tomlinson once said in their treatise: you don't know, oh-oh, you don't know you're beautiful – that's what makes you beautiful.
However, a caveat: you need to know you do not know. Ignorance is bliss, but it doesn't make one wise.
The Lyrics: Alam ko na alam mong libre maging tanga/ Pero ang masama 'dun balak mong araw-arawin pa
For one to accomplish the Socratic paradox, one must actively know that they do not know. King Badger, in these lines, is arresting his friend's fall into folly, because he is clearly oblivious to his own ignorance.
document.write('var _ase = _ase || [];_ase.push([""1599129472"",""1632740648""]);<\/scr'+'ipt>'); }else{ //ambient pc code
Jean-Paul Sartre – Existence is Prior to Essence
Jean-Paul Sartre is known as the father of Existentialism, the belief that humans define their own meaning in life, emphasizing individuality, freedom, and choice. Sartre famously declared that "man is condemned to be free," and that "existence is prior to essence," the first indicating that he has a responsibility to himself, and the second denoting that his essence is determined by the very choices he makes, more than the labels other people ascribe to him.
The Lyrics: Gagamitin lang nila ang 'yong pagiging sikat/ Sabi ko sayo diba, 'di lahat ay tapat? Na mga bitches, na tanging riches/ Wag ilahat ng pagkatao mo at feelings from the beginning, hindi sapat!/ Who you ka na pag gusto, napasakamay
Again, we see here what the lyrical genius Brandon is hinting at: that one's fame, one's riches don't define that person. They are far more than that, as they are the sum of all the choices they have made, and so much more. For anyone to just define a human person by their bank account is folly, and a grave mistake, because one's personhood runs far deeper than that.
Confucius – The Golden Rule
Via ancient
Confucius is perhaps the greatest Eastern philosopher that we know of, and it shows. Often known for exemplifying the Golden Mean, from him is also taken the Golden Rule, which we also associate with Christian thinking: do not do unto others what you do not want others to do unto you.
The Lyrics: 'Di ba sabi ko sayo wag nang uulit?/ Ang kulit mo ring kaibigan ka/ Ilang beses na ang puso mo'y napunit/ Nagagalit pag sinasabihan ka
Bullet-D shows wisdom beyond his years by following the Golden Rule to its logical conclusion: he does unto others what he wants others to do unto him, and in this case, that is to dispense sane, good, logical advice to a friend, even if that friend would resent it from time to time.
Rene Descartes – Desire is an Agitation of the Soul
There's no escaping Rene Descartes, quite simply. From the Cartesian plane to "cogito ergo sum," his ideas have permeated all of modern thinking. Still, one of his lesser-known works, "Passions of the Soul," tackles the very notion of desire, and how it is an agitation of the soul.
The Lyrics: Huwag kang magpakahibang huwag mong gawing mundo/ Yung alam mo na tao lang alam mo yan kaya/ Huwag mo nang lokohin ang sarili mo hayaan mo sila na maglaway kakatingin sayo/ Hanggang sa silang lahat naman ang maghabol sayo/ 'Pag nagawa mo yan ay tsaka nako bibilib sayo
Flow-G expertly navigates the human condition of desire, and seeks to turn it around on its ear. That instead of desiring for someone, be desired instead. In doing so, it won't be you who gets agitated, but them, giving them a taste of their own medicine, and making them understand how it feels to be "agit na agit."
Jean Baudrillard – Simulacra and Simulation
Via philosophy
What most people probably remember Jean Baudrillard for, more than anything else, would be his work, "Simulacra and Simulation," which seeks to explain the relationships between symbols, reality, and society. All is composed with references, with no referents – a hyperreality. This is where we stand today – symbols with no inherent value.
The Lyrics: De-de-de there's so many bitches in the club/ There's so many sexy babies, ba't hindi ka maghanap?
The brilliant Skusta Clee turns his attention to a pressing question that he makes, but also hints at one he doesn't. First, he asks his friend to look at all the "bitches in the club," and why not look for someone among all of them. The unspoken question is, what exactly are "bitches in the club?" Do they mean anything? Or is the only meaning, really, in our relationship to the symbol of the "bitches," rather than merely what "bitches" have come to signify? Thus, even in just these lyrics, Skusta Clee is already questioning the very concept of misogyny, and whether or not misogyny exists merely with the word "bitches," when that word may very well convey far more beyond just the offensive, obvious meaning, especially if one is "naghahanap" with regards to said "bitches."
Now, knowing all of this, perhaps the next time someone decides to tell you that they're so sick of Jeje Rap, you could point them to this 8List, and educate them that there's far more to Ex-Battalion than meets the eye – they are philosophical and lyrical geniuses for a new age. But even if, after dropping this knowledge on them, they're still hating, you know what?
Hayaan mo sila.

Q: Calculate $\lim_{n\to\infty}\int_{[0,\infty)}\frac{n\sin\frac{x}{n}}{x(1+x^2)}dx$. It is required to calculate $\lim_{n\to\infty}\int_{[0,\infty)}\frac{n\sin\frac{x}{n}}{x(1+x^2)}dx$. The following is my attempt.
Let $f_n(x)=\frac{n\sin\frac{x}{n}}{x(1+x^2)}$ for each $n\in\mathbb{N},x>0$. Then $f_n(x)\leq \frac{n\frac{x}{n}}{x(1+x^2)}=\frac{1}{1+x^2}$ for each $n\in\mathbb{N}, x>0$. Define $g:(0,\infty)\to\mathbb{R}$ as $g(x)=\frac{1}{1+x^2}$. Then $f_n\leq g$ a.e. on $[0,\infty)$, and $\int_{[0,\infty)}g$ exists finitely. Also $(f_n)$ converges to $g$ pointwise a.e. on $[0,\infty)$. Therefore by Lebesgue Dominated Convergence theorem, $\lim_{n\to\infty}\int_{[0,\infty)}\frac{n\sin\frac{x}{n}}{x(1+x^2)}dx=\int_{[0,\infty)}g$.
Is my solution alright? Thank you.

A: It is enough to apply the dominated convergence theorem. The function
$$ f_n(x) = \frac{\sin\frac{x}{n}}{\frac{x}{n}}\cdot\frac{1}{1+x^2} $$
belongs to $L^1(\mathbb{R}^+)$ and it is dominated in absolute value by the integrable function $f(x)=\frac{1}{1+x^2}$.
The pointwise limit is precisely given by $f(x)$:
$$ \forall x\in\mathbb{R}^+,\qquad \lim_{n\to +\infty} f_n(x) = f(x) $$
hence it follows that
$$ \lim_{n\to +\infty}\int_{0}^{+\infty}f_n(x)\,dx = \int_{0}^{+\infty}f(x)\,dx = \frac{\pi}{2}.$$

Budget cuts and tight resources plague Newark public schools, but even in these tough economic times, the Newark Public Schools District has approved tens of thousands of dollars a month in spending on takeout food and catering, NBC 4 New York's I-Team has found.
An I-Team review of district spending over a 15-month period ending in May found that Newark administrators spent more than $330,000, or an average of about $22,000 a month, on food from places like Sandwiches Unlimited, SuzyQue's BBQ and King's Family Restaurant and Catering even as it faces a $42 million budget gap.
In the spring, hundreds of Newark high school students walked out of class to protest budget cuts. More cuts are expected.
According to budget estimates posted on the Newark Public Schools website, per pupil spending on supplies and textbooks will go down by 25 percent next school year, from $501 to $372.
There will be a 4 percent reduction in overall spending on building maintenance, from $77,168,701 to $73,737,144. Budget projections also show a 39 percent decrease in spending on guidance counselors, from $3,374,792 to $2,047,967.
Newark Public Schools have been under state control since 1995. Last month, Gov. Chris Christie re-appointed Superintendent Cami Anderson.
Anderson declined to answer questions about the restaurant bills. But school spokeswoman Vanessa Rodriguez said that the food is largely used to encourage parent involvement and to recognize students for their achievements.
"Ninety percent of what we have spent in these events happens at the school level. And it happens with teachers and it happens with students and families," Rodriguez said.
Rodriguez also pointed out union rules that require food service to be available for teaching staff members who stay late to attend parent teacher conferences.
Joseph Del Grosso, president of the Newark Teachers Union, said schools routinely fail to provide food for teachers at after school meetings. He also pointed out that parent teacher conferences only take place twice a year. The I-Team found take-out food charged every month.
"While we in schools are living hand to mouth, the superintendent is out catering affairs," Del Grosso said.
Rodriguez said despite criticisms about stretched resources, she believes students have what they need to learn.
This story was reported by Ann Givens and Chris Glorioso and written by Magdalena Petrova.

Durham, United States Attorney for the District of Connecticut, United States Attorney for the District of Connecticut, today announced that on December 18, 2018, a federal grand jury in Hartford returned a five-count superseding indictment charging CARLOS DELGADO, also known as "Los," 49, of Mansfield, and LUIS ALAMO, 42, of Willimantic, with narcotics trafficking and firearm offenses.
As alleged in court documents and statements made in court, earlier this year the DEA Hartford Task Force, Willimantic Police Department and Connecticut State Police began investigating an eastern Connecticut drug trafficking organization headed by Delgado. The investigation revealed that Delgado was having kilogram quantities of cocaine shipped through the U.S. Mail from Puerto Rico to various locations in Eastern Connecticut. He distributed the drugs with the assistance of Alamo and others, and mailed cash proceeds from narcotics sales back to individuals in Puerto Rico.
During the investigation, investigators seized quantities of cocaine and heroin, five firearms, including an AK-15 rifle, and more than $140,000 in cash.
Delgado has been detained since his arrest on a federal criminal complaint on July 9, 2018.
Alamo was arrested yesterday and is released on a $50,000 bond.
The indictment charges Delgado and Alamo with conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute, and to distribute, cocaine. If convicted of this charge, based on the quantity of cocaine involved in the conspiracy, Delgado faces a mandatory minimum term of imprisonment of 10 years and a maximum term of life in prison, and Alamo faces a maximum term of imprisonment of 20 years.
The indictment also charges Delgado with one count of possession with intent to distribute one kilogram or more of heroin, which carries a mandatory minimum term of imprisonment of 10 years and a maximum term of imprisonment of life; one count of possession of firearm by a previously convicted felon, which carries a maximum term of imprisonment of 10 years; one count of possession of a firearm in furtherance of a drug trafficking crime, which carries a mandatory consecutive term of imprisonment of at least five years, and one count of money laundering, which carries a maximum term of imprisonment of 10 years.
This matter is being investigated by the DEA Hartford Task Force, Connecticut State Police, Willimantic Police Department, the Willimantic Police Department, U.S. Postal Inspection Service and Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives. The DEA Task Force includes participants from the Bristol, East Hartford, Hartford, Manchester, New Britain, Rocky Hill, Wethersfield, Willimantic and Windsor Locks Police Departments, and the Food and Drug Administration.
U.S. Attorney Durham stressed that an indictment is not evidence of guilt. Charges are only allegations, and each defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.
This case is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Natasha Freismuth.

"When you pray, you must not be like the hypocrites. For they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and at the street corners, that they may be seen by others. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward. But when you pray, go into your room and shut the door and pray to your Father who is in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you.
"Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name. Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For if you forgive others their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you, but if you do not forgive others their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.
"And when you fast, do not look gloomy like the hypocrites, for they disfigure their faces that their fasting may be seen by others. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward. But when you fast, anoint your head and wash your face, that your fasting may not be seen by others but by your Father who is in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you.
Just as the means of grace are the possession of the whole church, not any one person or subdivision of the church, so prayer is also a common possession of all the faithful. Sometimes, the people misguidedly expect the pastors to do all the praying for them. No, God has called on us all to pray, because it is the common possession of the whole church. This is why prayer is an "us" thing. We cannot really go it alone.
Oh, yes, I can pray by myself in secret to my Father who hears my secret prayer (Mt 6:6), but even then I am never alone. My Father is there with me, the holy angels surround me, and the prayer is joined with the unending cry of the holy saints who are continuously praying to the Lord (Rev 8:4). So prayer is always a corporate reality. This is why we pray, "Our Father, who art in heaven...." We never pray "My Father, who art in heaven...." Prayer belongs to us all and we offer an "Amen" that is the church's assent to and sharing of our petitions to our Father. When our pastors intone the prayer of the church it is our prayer, because there is no praying alone. It is always the possession of the whole church. This is why the great "Amen" comes forth not just from me, but even from the whole church universal, both living and dead. To pray only for ourselves forgets who we are in Christ.
I have prayed corporately so long and continually, that I find myself praying in the plural even when I am alone. Some years ago, when I thought about it, I chided myself and sought to express my prayers in the first person singular. I finally gave up this project. I have ceased to think of prayer in the unity of the whole church as a negative. I prefer to think of my prayer as the prayer of the whole company of saints. It is our prayer because it belongs to our household. Whenever I am in my family residence, I always speak of it as our home. Even to my children, who do not own it and who, and in the case of my oldest daughter, never lived in it, yet to them it is "our home." So it is for the church. The church is the kingdom purchased by Christ and has been signed over to us by the blood of the Son of God, we can always speak to His Father as our Father. The community consists of Christ and all the holy saints; both living and dead, and which we confess in the holy creed. This is the community with which we cry out to our heavenly Father. We belong to them and they to us; through our adoption into Christ. Nothing is mine. All is ours.
"The Teacher of peace and the Master of unity would not have prayer to be made singly and individually, as for one who prays for himself alone. We do not say 'My Father, who art in heaven,' nor 'Give me this day my daily bread;' nor does each one ask that only his own debt should be forgiven him; nor does anyone request for himself alone that he may not be led into temptation, and delivered from evil. Our prayer is public and common. When we pray, we pray not for one, but for the whole people, because we, the whole people, are one. The God of peace and the Teacher of concord, who taught unity, willed that one should in this way pray for all, even as Christ Himself bore us all in one. This law of prayer the three children observed when they were shut up in the fiery furnace, speaking together in prayer, and being of one heart in the agreement of the spirit. This the faith of the sacred Scripture assures us, and in telling us how these prayed, gives an example which we ought to follow in our prayers, in order that we may be such as they were: 'Then the three, as out of one mouth, praised, glorified, and blessed God in the furnace' (Song of the Three Children). They spoke as from one mouth, although Christ had not yet taught them how to pray. Therefore, as they prayed, their speech was availing and effectual, because a peaceful, sincere, and spiritual prayer deserved well of the Lord. We also find that the apostles prayed with the disciples after the Lord's ascension. Scripture says, 'All these with one accord were devoting themselves to prayer, together with the women and Mary the mother of Jesus, and his brothers' (Acts 1:14). They continued with one accord in prayer, declaring both by the urgency and by the agreement of their praying, that God, who causes to dwell in a house those who are of one mind (1Co 1:10), only admits into the divine and eternal home those among whom prayer is unanimous."
Almighty and everlasting God, we thank you for your servant Philip the Deacon, whom you called to preach the gospel. In this and every land raise up heralds and evangelists of your kingdom, that your church may make known the immeasurable riches of our Savior Jesus Christ. Amen.

All of the popular content-managements systems (CMS) like WordPress, Joomla, Drupal, and more are all software applications. What this means is, some web hosting companies will have servers that work well with your CMS of choice, and others will not.
But don't worry, hosts that specialize in Joomla compatibility are no more expensive than WordPress hosts. You can get hosting from a major provider like GoDaddy for as little as $1/month (at least with a promo code from godaddy), or as much as $200/month if you want a dedicated server for your website.
While most web hosts will at least have basic compatibility with Joomla, there are some advanced aspects of Joomla that will work on some Linux-based servers, but not others. So pay attention to the type of Linux operation system (OS) your company chooses.
The official Joomla.org foundation recommends Siteground for hosting, but this is a paid sponsorship: there is nothing that Siteground offers that puts them above any other web host.
With Siteground you have the option of having Joomla automatically installed onto your website. But so does every other web host. Whoishostingthis.com also recommends Siteground, but they are also a commissions-based website. So if every one is saying it, it must be true…right? No. Don't pay extra for web hosting just because websites are getting paid to tell you that.
Many people might prefer going for Windows hosting because of popular applications like Outlook or Exchange. But believe us when we say that a Joomla site will not work on a Windows server. Joomla is written in PHP language. Like WordPress, it is free and open source. Therefore it is designed to work on Linux servers.
3. Pay Attention to How Open-Source the Web Host is.
As a general rule, web hosts that like to stay in touch with the open source community will have servers that work best with open source software. For example, Dreamhost is popular in the open source community because of their creation of open-source and royalty free products for the community.

Hundreds of child sex abuse claims filed early on Day One of Child Victims Act
By Steve Orr, Rochester Democrat and Chronicle
Child Victims Act signed into law by New York Governor Andrew Cuomo
Thousands of New Yorkers who were molested or sexually abused as children have been waiting for years — in many cases, for decades — for their day in court.
That day has arrived — and it began with a stunning barrage of lawsuits. By 5 a.m., lawyers had taken advantage of 24-hour electronic filing to submit 200 child sexual abuse lawsuits.
The number had climbed to about 350 legal claims by 8:30 a.m., and risen again to 385 by noon.
Thirty-six lawsuits had been filed in Monroe County, 35 of them against the Catholic Diocese of Rochester and one against the Webster Central School District and a former teacher and coach there.
In the latter case, a man who said he was a student at Klem Road elementary and Spry middle schools in the late 1960s and early 1970s said he was sexually harassed and abused by Ralph Wager, a teacher who coached soccer in Webster.
Wager, who left Webster years ago to coach college soccer in North Carolina, was convicted of molesting a boy in that state in 2015 and sentenced to life in prison.
A one-year window for filing old civil claims for child sexual abuse opened at 12:01 a.m. Wednesday. The window was created by the state Legislature's adoption in January of the Child Victims Act, which makes it easier for accusers to seek criminal and civil sanction of their abusers.
In New York City, 154 suits had been filed by noon. Erie County had the highest single-county total, with 101.
Albany had 29, Nassau 25, St. Lawrence 15 and Onondaga 11. Westchester, Orange and Tompkins each had just one, while Rockland, Broome and Chemung had none.
The vast majority of filings named Catholic priests as the abusers and sought damages from the diocese and parishes in which the offenses allegedly occurred.
But the Boy Scouts of America were named in at least four suits and Rockefeller University, where Dr. Reginald Archibald is accused of abusing hundreds of boys, was named in two.
Two religious faiths other than Catholic were sued, as were at least five public schools.
A man who filed suit in Suffolk County accused his uncle of sexually abusing him, and a case in Manhattan featured a woman suing her older brother.
In Tompkins County, a daughter sued her father.
A woman who sued in Niagara County under a pseudonym accused her father, Paul Henry Regdos, of repeatedly molesting her when she was as young as age 5.
Regdos was arrested in 1991 and spent 20 years in state prison after being convicted of attempted rape and attempted sodomy. It was not clear from the lawsuit if the father's arrest was related to abuse of the plaintiff in the civil suit.
Jennifer Danielle Araoz filed suit in Manhattan against pedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein, who died in jail last weekend, and his one-time girlfriend, Ghislaine Maxwell.
Araoz said Epstein sexually assaulted her when she was age 15 and 16, enabled by Maxwell and three other woman who are not identified in the court papers.
A dozen or more law firms that specialize in sexual abuse cases have been signing up clients for months. Based on statements by some of those firms earlier this week, it seems likely that 2,000 to 3,000 lawsuits will be filed in the coming year.
Several hundred suits are possible in the Rochester-Finger Lakes region.

Letter: Let's not forget there's a school trustee byelection this month in North Vancouver
The byelection is set for May 29
A school trustee byelection in North Vancouver is set for May 29, 2021.Mike Wakefield, North Shore News
I would like to comment to those living in the District of North Vancouver that there is a byelection on May 29, 2021 for the position of one school trustee for North Vancouver.
It's easy to be complacent with so much happening around us and with our health being paramount, but at the same time, it's a crucial time to support public education as we move forward into a life after pandemic and contemplate what education will look like for students, parents, and staff.
As a community we need to be looking to those candidates who are informed with strong leadership skills, who will work along side the current Board of Education to best represent and support public education going forward.
As a former school trustee and former chair of the Board of Education for the North Vancouver School District, I have continued to be genuinely interested in the work of our school board in providing students with the experiences and supports they need to pursue their talents and aspirations as they seamlessly move through the school system.
As a former trustee, I certainly had my perspectives, values and views and worked diligently in my leadership roles and responsibilities to be informed and knowledgeable on issues coming forward to the board for discussion and decision.
While we are currently living in unprecedented times, through this past year of COVID, protocols have been put in place to create healthy and safe learning environments, however, with no large group gatherings allowed it's difficult to organize an in person all-candidates meetings for this byelection.
We have learned there are other means and ways to connect virtually or through social media in order to become informed on current issues, events and for that matter, why not your byelection candidates!
As a grandmother now, I will continue to have a vested interest in the future of public education in North Vancouver. I want to be assured that the elected officials making the decisions on behalf of students, parents and staff have the leadership skills, wisdom and knowledge to make informed decisions that are critical to providing opportunities for growth, knowledge and success, within our school communities.
As a community member in the District of North Vancouver you have a democratic right to vote on May 29, 2021, so please take some time to get informed, go to the DNV website and read up on the five candidates who are running for school trustee. Check out their profiles, find their websites and look them up on social media. Ask them some questions so when you go to vote you have identified which candidate truly represents your views and values in promoting excellence in the North Vancouver School District. Our children, our grandchildren, and our next generation all deserve it!

HOME & Lyric Hammersmith presents
othellomacbeth
By William Shakespeare. Directed by Jude Christian
Part of: Our new Autumn Winter Theatre Season
Fri 14 Sep – Sat 29 Sep 2018
★★★★ "One of the clearest, most compelling versions of [Macbeth] I have seen in a long while… [Jude] Christian captures the play's propulsive action… A familiar text is visibly refreshed by being seen from a feminist angle." – The Guardian
First Othello, then Macbeth – this September experience a bold new two-hour staging of two of Shakespeare's most famous plays, both renowned for their epic portrayals of jealousy, power and revenge.
The world premiere of OthelloMacbeth offers a unique retelling in which the voices of some of Shakespeare's most iconic female characters are brought to the fore. Featuring a company of nine performers who seamlessly move from the first play to the second, including Coronation Street's Melissa Johns.
Directed by Jude Christian, who most recently co-directed the sell-out Royal Court production of My Mum's a Twat with Vicky Featherstone, as well as the 2015 hit Lela & Co, also at the Royal Court. Jude returns to Manchester following her work directing the Royal Exchange and Bush Theatre production of Parliament Square.
This production is designed by Basia Binkowska, the overall winner of the Linbury Prize 2017. The Linbury Prize is the UK's most prestigious award for Stage Design, providing a unique opportunity for graduating designers to work with some of the UK's leading theatre, opera and dance companies.
Supported by The Linbury Trust
To find out more about the production and director Jude Christian, check out these links: The Guardian, BBC Radio Four Front Row, British Theatre Guide (podcast), The Stage, and I Love Manchester.
"The fusion of these two plays is inspired… Audacious… The editing and staging highlights the perspective of female characters in a visceral, thought-provoking and very modern way…" – I Love Manchester
★★★★★ "By exposing the dire consequences that arise from the misuse of power in relation to two of Shakespeare's plays, HOME and Lyric Hammersmith have produced an innovative piece of theatre that deserves the utmost acclaim and remembrance for its sheer creativity and ambition." – Upstaged Manchester
"It's an interesting experiment carried off with commitment that works in part… There are large parts of both plays that are quite gripping with some interesting new takes on the plays." – British Theatre Guide
"As a whole [OthelloMacbeth] is a fascinating concept… The links between the two plays are cleverly done. It really does work, and the sum of the two plays presented in this way makes it something quite special." – Quiet Man Dave
"The heart of both plays are there… All the cast were truly mesmerising throughout each play and indeed multiple roles played. Spellbinding, clever and captivating, I think even Shakespeare would be proud of this representation and indeed modern mash-up of his work." – Honorary Manc
"Fear not, Shakespeare purists, the great man's lines have not been touched but [Jude] Christian does so much with simple stage direction to make this production her own… Something different this way comes." – Mancunian Matters
"You have outstanding performances of two of Shakespeare's greatest plays, brought together in a highly thought-provoking manner, which allows you to see each one in a new light." – Jildy Sauce
"Condenses two great plays into two and a half hours, and plays them pretty straight… Performances are strong throughout… An interesting and enjoyable new take on two well-worn plays." – The Reviews Hub
"A breathtaking exploration… It may well be that old Will is turning in his grave at this Jude Christian inspired production, but it certainly presents a new way of re-interpreting the presence of women in plays by the Bard… Works incredibly well." – Stagey Lady
"A brilliant introduction to the Bard to people who have never seen any of his plays… It's an ensemble piece, an accomplished performance by a talented cast… A mesmerising, thrilling evening in the theatre." – Tom's Travels
"OthelloMacbeth certainly evokes lively conversation about the women Shakespeare created… The nine-strong cast do a good job of keeping up momentum with notable performances by Sandy Grierson and Kirsten Foster. The key element is the bleeding through of such influential dramatic creations through both plays and how they still resonate with audiences today." – Live Art Alive
★★★★★ "The standard of performance was exceptional… The direction and ideas to produce a simply staged but powerful play show the imagination of Director Jude Christian… With the show due to move to the Lyric Hammersmith, I am sure this will be a great success." – North West End
★★★★ "A hit, a very palpable hit, as Will Shakespeare might say… A classic case of mission accomplished for HOME." – Stagestruck
"The brutality of Macbeth is starkly revealed as Macbeth embarks on a murderous rampage… Sandy Grierson excels in this role and is one of the best Macbeths I have seen… Caroline Faber was equally brilliant as Lady Macbeth, her portrayal was more powerful than any other I have watched." – The Play's The Thing
"This show had a great visceral power and comments beautifully on the connections of Shakespeare's plays… I highly recommend it, nothing quite prepares you for OthelloMacbeth." – Mancunion
"Although both plays are quite dark, they are no stranger to well-timed humour and witty banter as the cast so expertly demonstrate with their great, affecting performances." – Within My Locket
"To put on two of Shakespeare's productions and whittle them to a greatest hits scene by scene is no mean achievement… This is the kind of production that Shakespeare fans will love because of their love of Shakespeare." – Caught in the Act
"Christian's achievement is to re-frame these plays as tragedies for the women at the hands of the men." – Unrestricted Views
"The events seem to happen all in one day, which creates a sense of urgency on the stage… Clever, beautiful and breath-taking." – Jess's Random World
"[Jude] Christian's conjoined take on Othello and Macbeth [succeeds] in reframing the plays and directing our eyes towards where the tragedy really lies." – Signifying Nothing – Cultural Outpost
★★★★ "It's no mean feat taking a complex and well-known play, and boiling it down to the key themes… A triumph." – Girl on Film
★★★★ "The ensemble move seamlessly from one play to another as the knowledge of what's happened in one play directly impacts the world of the other… An innovative piece of theatre which turns something old into something new." – Frankly My Dear
