P36E574332, Festool Domino, DF 500 & CT 36 Dust Extractor
P36E574332, Festool Domino, DF 500 & CT 36 Dust Extractor Package
DF 500 Q Domino Joiner 500 Q
The evolution of joinery. Joining has always been a slow, difficult process. Never again, thanks to the Festool Domino joining system. The system consists of the Domino joiner and pre-fabricated, beech and sipo Domino tenons. The Domino joiner, with its revolutionary cutting method, simple indexing features and adjustable mortise sizing, makes flawless mortises every single time. The Domino tenon is equally as impressive - it is 100% rotation-proof and far stronger than either biscuits or dowels. It also has a large gluing surface area for extra strength.
- Positioning: With an adjustable fence angle, retractable stop flaps, adjustable cutter height with step gauge, and precise mortise depth stop, the Domino joiner enables precise mortise placement and spacing.
- Carbide Tip Spiral Bit: Durable, long-lasting bit withstands 5,000-14,000 joints depending on material.
- Pivoting Fence: Fence creates angled mortises from 0-90° with positive stops at 22.5°, 45°, 67.5°.
- Stepped Height Stop: 7 different step positions for different material thicknesses for fast and easy fence height adjustment.
- Depth Control: Quick, precise adjustment for five different mortising depths, relative to the size of the tenon required for the application.
- Dust Extraction: Your mortises are clean and ready for glue when the Domino is used in combination with a dust extractor. Proper dust extraction greatly extends cutter life.
- Mortise Width Adjustment: Adjusting the width of the mortise allows for easier alignment when joining panels.
- Rapid Bit Change: Means you can change a bit in under 30 seconds to match desired tenon size.
- Patented Routing Principle: The spiral cutter rotates and oscillates to create perfect mortises.
- Cutter spindle speed - 24,300 rpm

574935, Festool HEPA Certified Dust Extractor CT 36 E
Dust control is an integral part of the Festool system and design philosophy. That is why the CT 36 is equipped with tool-triggered auto start functionality so that when you plug your tool into the supplied outlet socket, the vacuum cycles with the tool. This represents greater efficiency in dust extraction, noise reduction, and with less energy consumption versus a constant-on unit. Variable suction force allows you to regulate the suction based on your tasks. A small detail sander may not require the full 137 CFM of this unit, but a router may require it.
This unit comes standard our new self-cleaning bag which prevents dust particles from caking inside the bag which reduces suction. We further optimize efficiency with the low-profile, flat-top design that allows the CT top to double as a tool rest as well as an integrated hose garage and docking station that allows the connection of Festool Systainers (not included) for easy transport and storage. The low center of gravity, integrated center handle, and extra large wheels make navigating rough terrain in the shop or jobsite easy without tipping over. A parking brake can even be locked to prevent unintentional roll off or drifting. The supplied 11-1/2 ft. anti-static (AS) hose is long enough for power tool and general work site clean up tasks.
For wet (water) clean up tasks, the CT will shut off automatically when full thanks to Level Stop technology. With an industrial design for heavy use the CT is equipped with over 24 feet of 12 gauge cord. A cord wrap is supplied to attach to the rear of the unit. With 137 CFM and only 62 dB (on the low setting), the CT 36 can quickly and quietly remove large amounts of debris, with minimal noise. A HEPA filter comes standard and offers the ultimate in clean air and filtration. The CT 36 is a good choice for the shop or the jobsite for all your power tool extraction and clean-up needs.
- New Smooth tapered suction hose
- New and improved SYS-Dock Hose Garage
- New cord holder
- HEPA filters are standard and remove 99.99% of particulate to 0.3 micron. In fabrication, dust happens. It's very small, floats everywhere, lands on everything in sight, and gets inside your tools. Due to its minute size, wood dust particles can be particularly troublesome to remove from an environment once airborne. The fine dust that is ejected into the air can make you sneeze, cough, and experience other allergy-like symptoms. Experts agree that limiting your exposure is the best protection.
- Automatic Tool Start & Adjustable Suction
- Smooth start, infinitely adjustable electronic air flow control and tool triggered or manual on-off switch ensures convenient and efficient dust control.
- An ergonomic handle is positioned 7-9 inches in from the body, which is the most natural position for lifting. The supplied antistatic hose stores neatly into the integrated hose garage, a standard feature on all current dust extractor models. The hose garage also protects your hose from inadvertent damage during transit. A dust extractor that is designed properly will offer convenient storage solutions for keeping the hoses and accessories well organized and readily available. On-board cradles, handles, and the ability to use the flat top as a temporary shelf to support tools are nice features that you should consider.
- Festool's ingenious Sys-Dock feature turns your dust extractor into a mobile cart for your tools and accessories. Festool Systainers, the carrying cases which are standard with nearly every Festool power tool, latch to the top of our dust extractors allowing you to move tools together, reducing steps when setting up your jobsite. The Sys-Dock is also flat, serving as a convenient place to rest your tool or materials while you work.
- As with all CT dust extractors, the 1 1/16" x 11.5' (27mm x 3.5m) antistatic hose comes standard.
- Automatic Water Level Sensor
- Having the ability to vacuum wet spills is important. An integrated water level detector and auto shut-off minimize problems with overfilling your vacuum with too much liquid. The motor housing is sealed, and the lid has a gasket to keep water where it belongs. A complete range of optional Festool cleaning sets complement both wet and dry operations.
- Everything needs its own storage space. The cord can be wound on the dedicated cord wrap to prevent it from getting in the way during transportation.
- Festool dust extractors are designed with a low center of gravity to prevent inadvertent tipping. Many other manufacturers' units are not designed in this way and tipping could result in costly damage to the vacuum or to your client's floors. An easy-to-use, conveniently located parking brake offers peace of mind to prevent your Festool dust extractor from rolling down stairs or moving during transport in your vehicle. Festool CT dust extractors feature larger-than-average wheels, making it easy to maneuver over bumpy terrain with ease. The wheels are coated in a rubber-like, non-marring material to protect your clients' floors from damage and abrasion.

Saguaro helps us know and trust our inner wisdom and OWN our inner sense of authority. This essence helps us to embody the positive aspect of our elders and ancestry. After we dissolve what isn't serving us, we then want to not reject our lineage, rather we want to embody the positive gifts the lineage has to share with us. This is an essence I use after working, to heal the disharmonious ancestral relationships and to clear the unconscious or conscious agreements with my lineage. After doing that work, is when I work with Saguaro... When it is time to call in the well, the healed and the healthy.

Helps you access and trust your deepest inner wisdom-authority
Balance and understanding of our masculine and feminine attributes

Helps us to integrate the well/healthy aspects of our ancesters
Restores the will to live and to heal, and to be your best
Patterns of Imbalance
Sense of separateness or alienation from the past
Feeling like you want to give up
For those that feel their compulsion is ancestral, familial patterns of addiction
Not trusting your deepest inner wisdom
Imbalanced use of power

LPR Head: Ukraine cannot afford peacekeepers in Donbass
The Head of the Lugansk People's Republic, Igor Plotnitsky, said that Ukraine would not be able financially ensure the presence of peacekeepers in Donbass.
"I know only a few countries, including China, which, to date, if such a permit is given, can financially ensure the stay of such a mission in the territory. The mission involves a lot of things - it's not just people who come, but also accommodation, food; this is also the cultural programme, and the whole spectrum, it's not so simple as it seems, that they came here, stood up shoulder to shoulder - no, this process is a little bit different," Plotnitsky said.
The Head of the LPR stressed that the deployment of any peacekeeping mission requires the consent of both parties to the conflict.
"We are one of such parties, therefore, without our consent, without our permission to date, no mission will be able to come here, and even more so, this is a very costly activity," Plotnitsky added.

Residents of Joshua Okeowo and Bepo Communities in Ikotun/Igando suburb of Lagos State have raised the alarm over the continued presence of a 'mystery crocodile' in the area.
Some of the residents told the News Agency of Nigeria on Saturday that the reptile had lived in the area for 15 years and had constantly been tormenting them.
"We are tired of this crocodile. It has been around for some time and comes out during the rainy season into the flooded streets to attack us.
"A number of residents had been attacked and seriously wounded by this animal. Only a fortnight ago, it was spotted swimming toward a school boy playing in the flood.
"If not that some adult residents rushed to the scene and rescued the boy, it would have been a different story. Honestly we are tired," said a resident, Mr. Alabi Rabiu.
Another resident, Babatunde Alabi, said the continued presence of the crocodile in the area had made the residents live in perpetual fear.
According to him, the reptile has chosen a permanent habitat in an uncompleted building in the area, making it difficult for residents to move freely.
Pointing at the abandoned building sitting on a swamp, he said, "That is where it lives, everybody knows but nobody dares go there.
"Some people have made attempts to get rid of it without success. The animal is feared by everyone. We need the government to help us," he said.
According to Alabi, the crocodile once lived in a nearby canal from where it swam into the community and decided to stay there permanently.
Another resident, Mr. Adeyemi Oke, said once a solution was found to the problem of perennial flooding in the area, the problem posed by the animal would be solved.
He, therefore, urged the Lagos State Government to come to their aid by building new drains in the area, into which the floods could be channelled.
The Commissioner for Environment, Mr. Tunji Bello, who monitored the monthly sanitation exercise in the area on Saturday, said the government was already taking steps to solve the flooding problem.

When comparing Microsoft Dynamics vs Salesforce, we found both to be robust, but expensive, CRM software with functionality benefiting larger organizations. Microsoft costs between $65 – $135 and can manage sales as well as general operations like accounting and inventory. Salesforce costs $25 – $300 and offers an extensive AppExchange network with functionality that's great for sales teams.
When to Use Salesforce
Salesforce is a CRM software designed specifically for mid- to large-sized sales organizations. While the tool offers things like contract and order management, its differentiating features include its cross-sell knowledge base or the extensive number of sales automation tools offered for free through its AppExchange. Salesforce is therefore focused more on managing sales and sales-related activities than general operations management.
When to Use Microsoft Dynamics 365
Microsoft Dynamics 365 is a CRM for large teams with sales and general operations management functionality. It's a Microsoft product and works very well with Word and Excel, and you can also purchase modules like accounting and inventory management. However, it does not integrate well with third-party tools like MailChimp or QuickBooks. For this reason, it is best for organizations wanting to manage all business operations in one place using Office tools.
When to Use an Alternative Option
Both Microsoft Dynamics and Salesforce are suited for larger teams and come with a hefty price tag. Smaller businesses and teams are better off considering an alternative like Freshsales, which offers functionality like contact and task management, sales pipeline stage visibility, and activity tracking at a fraction of the price. Try them out for free for 30 days.
Microsoft Dynamics vs Salesforce at a Glance
|File Storage
for 1 to 20 users
5GB for each additional
20 users up to 5TB
11GB shared storage
|Technical Support Included
|Entry-Level Plan Designed for Small Teams
|Operations Management
|Contact and Task Management
|Lead, Opportunity, and Case Management
|Quotes Management and Order Processing
|Sales Process Automation
|Third-Party Integration
|Mobile Access
|Ease of Use
How We Evaluated Microsoft Dynamics 365 & Salesforce
Microsoft Dynamics and Salesforce are CRM tools typically used by large teams. Both products offer similar core functionality, but Salesforce is more of a pure sales CRM while Microsoft Dynamics is a CRM better known for operations management. However, depending on your business, you might be better served with a more inexpensive CRM option.
We compared Microsoft Dynamics vs Salesforce against the following criteria:
- Price – We compared the per-user cost for each product, whether there were any minimum license requirements, and if there were any additional fees
- Features – We checked to see how each product handled core CRM functionality like contact management, deal and activity tracking, process automation, customization capability, and system integrations
- Ease of Use – We reviewed how easy either tool is able to be set up, compared the look, feel, and function of user interfaces as well as the availability of training resources, requirements, and whether the tool included mobile access
- Customer Service – We compared each tool's customer service and technical support policies
- User Reviews – We read a mix of positive and negative reviews from real users of both products
Following our review, we have determined Salesforce to be the best CRM for large sales teams wanting a tool that can manage sales teams and integrate with third-party sales apps. Microsoft 365, on the other hand, is the better option for teams comprised of sales and operations.
While Salesforce offers an entry-level price point, the price is on the high side and the features are heavily watered down. For smaller teams, we recommend Freshsales over Salesforce and Microsoft Dynamics 365, as it includes many popular features like email tracking, rules-based scoring, and web-to-lead capture, and is more flexible as well as more affordable. Sign-up for your free trial to see how Freshsales can work for you.
Microsoft Dynamics vs Salesforce: Pricing & Features
Salesforce offers a plan with entry-level features while Microsoft Dynamics 365 doesn't. Therefore, Salesforce is the clear choice between the two for small teams requiring basic contact and deal management based on price. However, Salesforce's next tiered plan is $10 more per user per month than the similarly featured Dynamics plan.
Salesforce Pricing
While Salesforce does offer a free trial, pricing for its paid service plans starts at $25 per user per month. Salesforce has two high-end plans with similar functionality that cost between $150 and $300 per month. The difference between these plans is access to additional customer and technical support, including configuration support at no added charge.
Salesforce Tiered Features
|Account and Contact Management
|Lead and Opportunity Management
|Task Management
|Customizable Sales Process
|Web-to-Lead Capture
|Mobile Access
|Dashboard Reports
|Mass Email
|Rules Based Scoring
|Sales Forecasting
|Quotes and Price Books
|Opportunity Scoring
|Sales Teams
|Territory Management
Lightning Essentials
Salesforce's Lightning Essentials plan includes basic contact, task, and opportunity management functionality and costs $25 per user per month. It does not, however, include sales forecasting or quotation management tools found in the higher end plans, nor does it integrate with Google Apps or allow for configurable profiles based on roles and responsibilities.
This plan is limited to five users. For this reason, it is best for smaller sales teams of five wanting a tool to help them manage their contacts as well as stay on top of their follow-up tasks, but do not require sales forecasting analytics.
That being said, a team of this size may be better off using Freshsales, which offers features similar to the Professional plan but at a lower cost.
Lightning Professional
Salesforce's Professional plan costs $75 per user per month and includes additional lead management tools like lead routing and rules-based scoring not offered in the Essentials plan. There is a knowledge base feature to help salespeople with cross-selling efforts and collaborative forecasting. Additionally, the Professional plan includes email marketing campaigns, quotations, dashboard reports, and case management as well as Google and Outlook integrations.
Unlike the Essentials plan, there is no limit on the size of the team. However, this plan does not include team or territory management. There is also no workflow automation. Therefore, this plan is best for highly independent sales teams that want a centralized system for managing quotes, customer relations, and marketing campaigns and do not need a tool to automate the process.
Lightning Enterprise
The Lightning Enterprise plan includes all the same contact management features as the Essentials plan with the additional marketing and lead scoring tools found in the Professional plan. It also includes team and territory management and shared calendars. It costs $150 per user per month without unlimited customer support or $300 per user per month with unlimited support.
For this reason, the Enterprise plan is best for large team-based sales groups. The Enterprise plan also supports Salesforce's Lightning Platform or third-party app integration tool and offers unlimited uses of the process builder, making this plan also the better fit for organizations wanting to integrate Salesforce CRM with other applications.
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Pricing
Microsoft Dynamics 365 for Sales tiered pricing plans range from $65 per user per month to $135 per user per month. Additional support can be added on to any plan as a monthly subscription from $5 per user per month to $9, which gives users faster guaranteed support and direct advice from Dynamics 365 experts.
Microsoft Dynamics Tiered Features
|Account and Contact Management
|Task Management
|Lead and Opportunity Management
|Customizable Sales Process
|Case Management
|Real-Time Sales Reports
|Mass Email
|Quotes and Price Books
|Opportunity Scoring
|Sales Goal Management
|Competitor Management
|Territory Management
|Social Engagement
|Embedded LinkedIn Sales Navigator
|Activity Sync from Sales Navigator
Dynamics 365 for Sales Professional
The Sales Professional plan costs $65 per user per month and provides robust contact management (including activity tracking). It also includes quote and order management as well as sales and marketing lists and opportunity management. The Professional plan includes some canned reports, but you can also export data to Excel with the click of a button or review analytics with a Power BI license.
The Professional Plan does not include features like mobile offline sync, unlimited customizations, territory management, or social engagement as is found in the Enterprise plan. For this reason, it is best for independent sales groups that want a centralized tool for managing customer relations, opportunities, and quotations and those who are more comfortable managing reports and analytics through another tool.
Dynamics 365 for Sales Enterprise
The Sales Enterprise plan adds territory management to the Sales Professional features and costs $95 per user per month. This plan also provides more automation and engagement tools like social connections, automatic email logging, customer surveys, and sales team gamification. Custom fields can be added to any form, which provides you with additional insights, lead scoring, and customer segmentation, all viewed in dashboard-styled reports.
The Enterprise plan is built with hierarchical sales teams in mind as it includes sales goal and territory management. However, the plan is also good for groups that want to conduct regular in-depth SWOT analysis, as it also provides tools to help you track your performance against specific competitors on an opportunity-by-opportunity basis.
Microsoft Relationship Sales
The Microsoft Relationship Sales plan mirrors the features of the Enterprise plan but also includes additional integration with LinkedIn's Sales Navigator Enterprise tool. This gives sales teams an embedded version of Sales Navigator directly in the Dynamics application. Activities can then be synced and accounts, leads, and contacts saved to Sales Navigator.
The Microsoft Relationship Sales plan costs $135 per user per month with a ten-user minimum. Therefore, it is best for larger teams that utilize LinkedIn for the majority of their prospecting work. Teams with less than ten users needing a CRM that works with social media and LinkedIn Sales Navigator may find the functionality they are looking for at a fraction of the cost using Zoho CRM, which also works with LinkedIn Sales Navigator.
Microsoft Dynamics vs Salesforce: Ease of Use
Salesforce and Microsoft Dynamics 365 both have web-based user interfaces that group information such as accounts and related follow-up activities on a single page. Depending on the pricing plan, additional fields and customized dashboards can be added by users with administrative privileges. Both tools are loaded with functionality that can overwhelm the average user, and training is therefore recommended for either tool.
Salesforce Ease of Use
Salesforce is a cloud-based tool rather than a desktop app, which means the tool is accessible wherever you have access to the internet. The user interface itself is a web page that you navigate by clicking on links that are grouped by headings such as accounts, leads, campaigns, and forecasts and reports are displayed in a dashboard format.
Salesforce hosts an app exchange marketplace where you can locate various third-party applications that can improve Salesforce's core functionality. Added features may increase your monthly cost.
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Ease of Use
Microsoft Dynamics is offered hosted on the cloud, as an on-premise solution, or a combination of both. This means that you have the ability to control your own data rather than rely on Salesforce servers. Like Salesforce, the Microsoft Dynamics' user interface is browser-based, though navigation options appear more like buttons than links.
Microsoft Dynamics has a search bar to help you jump from screen to screen if you are unsure where to find the specific screen you are looking for. This gives Microsoft Dynamics a slight edge over Salesforce in terms of functional design.
Microsoft Dynamics vs Salesforce: Customer Service
Salesforce does not require an additional monthly subscription for access to technical support and customer training, and you can work directly with a Salesforce agent rather than being forced to go through a third party. Dynamics 365 doesn't do this. Therefore, it is the clear winner between the two products in the customer service category.
Salesforce Customer Service
Salesforce provides access to success communities, where you can interact with other Salesforce customers, get guided online training, access a self-service portal, and have guaranteed response within two business days as part of any Salesforce license. Additional support, like 24-hour assistance, can be added on for an additional fee-based on the needs of your business.
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Customer Service
Microsoft Dynamics offers additional small business support plans at an added monthly cost ranging from $5 per user per month to $9 per user per month. These add-on service plans provide users with access to community forums and self-help portals, service dashboards, unlimited online training, and phone support during local business hours.
Microsoft Dynamics vs Salesforce: Customer Reviews
Customer reviews of Salesforce and Microsoft Dynamics are similarly mixed, with neither tool standing out as a clear crowd favorite. Salesforce scored better in terms of task management, while Dynamics was easier to customize. Reviewers of both products recommend that anyone considering either tool take the time to think through and define their sales process before implementing either product.
Salesforce Customer Reviews
Salesforce users like the amount of customization offered by the tool prior to implementation and the available integrations with other third-party products. However, they report there is a steep learning curve. There are also complaints that the product is not as turnkey as advertised and implementation can be disappointing if you have not taken the time to define your business processes.
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Customer Reviews
Microsoft Dynamics users report the tool could be easier to use. Tasks, like creating a quote, require a number of steps and it can take a while to get to where you want to be. Users like the ability to hide and customize tabs and fields and how you can keep track of all communication within the tool. However, they wish there was more automated capability.
"A CRM is a critical tool for modern day sales professionals and serves as a prospecting database. You have to plan to prospect. Most new sales occur after more than six times reaching out, and the timing has to be reasonable. My CRM lets me keep all notes from conversations and marketing activities, and schedule follow-up tasks in one place so that I can see the history and plan the future easily." – Marybeth Whelan, National Sales Representative, Tapecon, Inc.
Bottom Line
We recommend Salesforce for growing sales teams based on its core functionality, design with sales teams in mind, integration with third-party apps, and entry-level pricing point. However, the tool does require additional training in order to get the most out of your monthly license costs, and its user interface can be improved. However, there are Salesforce alternatives out there that might be better for you.
Small business owners and sales managers who want to spend less time reading software manuals or watching training videos may be better served with a more user-friendly CRM like Freshsales. Freshsales is a budget-friendly alternative to both Salesforce and Microsoft Dynamics, with the features small business teams need and at a fraction of the cost. Best of all you can try it for free for 14 days.

So it's Emma's birthday tomorrow and a bunch of us wanted to take her for dinner to celebrate, with me booking the table. Apart from the fact that I left it a bit too late to book a table, I've had some bizarre conversations with restauranteurs:
Me: Hello, I would like to guarantee that you get some money
Restauranteur: No thanks, why don't you just turn up and I might deign to serve you
M: Well that's very kind of you
R: Or I could book you a table at 4pm or 11pm [three places actually said this]
Me: Thank you, goodbye
I don't get why they won't take bookings, just don't get it. I'm sure they think they're going to be very busy, and probably don't want to take bookings in case the people don't show, but even so. I don't want to hang around for an hour or more till someone tells me that they're ready to serve me.
But finally I found this place which sounds very nice. They were charming on the phone, took my booking for seven people with no problem (although I got slightly worried if it's that easy to get a table) and the reviews on the website look excellent.
Now I only have the stress of taking a bunch of people to a place I've never been before and hoping that it's good.

Day III - rehearsal 'there is no why here' - from 11 untill 22 May - killing mother
Maandag 18 mei 2015
Andrea Molino joins the group with the announcement that his morning rehearsal in Brussels with the Brussels Philharmonic went great: the orchestra is well-prepared and fun to work with. Wouter tells that he had the chance to get to know some of the extras better last evening and that he thought it was so wonderful to hear how some of them really connected to the themes of the performance. With such nice experiences to share, everybody is ready and inspired to start a new day of WORK!
For the first part of this repetition both directors decide to continue working with Annelinde and Aline on the 'killing mother' scene. This scene which depicts the unspeakable - a mother taking the life of her own children – is because of the achieved intensity for me personally the most powerful, stirring part of 'THERE IS NO WHY HERE'. In this fragment Aline and Annelinde combine pieces of text with guttural and other vocal sounds to express the unthinkable act of a mother … , while a lullaby is sung by Anna Linardou. Their vocal expressions are also backed up by a small, sometimes rhythmic, choreography of the hands, arms, … and of some small rocks. Together with Wouter they search for a way to render 'this character' a bit more dramatic while keeping it minimalistic enough. Andrea adds that it's important to portrait this figures as deeply human but totally disconnected: there's an irreconcilable gap between their words and the world they are fixed in. The rehearsal of this almost breathtaking scene ends with a very beautiful result.
After a short break, work starts again with the modification of the beginning of the 'wall scene'. Wouter wants to make some adjustments in order to strengthen the relation of the three vocalists with the projected video on the screen. He gives Annelinde, Sander and Aline several suggestions to experiment with, such as reacting on the things that happen before these walls - the cars or people passing by . After 'entering the rubbish' into the playing field, the performers can also integrate this material in their improvisations. Wouter is very happy with the energy of this almost meditative – short - scene in which timing, fragility and a minimalistic approach are the key: "I could stay and watch this for 10 minutes more".

In the age of digital books, this one deserves a hard copy ...
As a long time fan of novelist Neal Stephenson and a new fan of the Long Now Foundation, when I heard that the latest novel of the former was inspired by the 10,000 Year Clock project of the latter, I hurried to order a copy. And while it might seem that science fiction -- or speculative fiction, to use a newer term -- would be perfect to read in digital form, something compelled me to acquire Anathem not only printed on paper but hard bound as well.
Of course, this would not suit the denizens of the novel itself. To the "avout" who live in the hermetic society of the "math," mechanically printed books are too transient to be considered of value. All of their books are copied by hand onto leaves grown in orchards of "page trees," genetically engineered to produce a ready made paper with great longevity. Unstated is the corollary that only books considered important enough to warrant the effort will be copied by hand, which effectively culls the libraries of chaff and leaves only those works of enduring value.
[A similar idea appears in Robert Graves' utopian novel, Watch the North Wind Rise, in which poems are written in chalk and only when they have survived long enough are finally engraved in gold to be kept for all time. Not sure if this is a writer's dream or nightmare.]Anathem is one of those books that comes with a glossary for the various unfamiliar terms of its internal language, though many of them become apparent from their usage. The most important concepts are also introduced by extracts from the Dictionary that appear as chapter preambles. Some of the words are English, but with modified meanings. A "math," for example, is a place where a certain mental discipline is followed. Other terms have been invented to fit the needs of the narrative. "Avout" is used the way we use "devout" when we say "one of the devout," except that the avout scrupulously avoid the concept of divinity in their pursuit of pure logic and knowledge. Thus the prefix "a-" to mean without belief. Those who do believe in God are called "deolaters" (not idolaters, which would imply false gods) and are found only in the world outside the maths.
One thing that becomes plain late in the story and which you might as well know at the beginning (because Stephenson tells us in his foreward), is that the planet called Arbre is not Earth. Letting go of this at the outset helps to explain how Arbre can have such a long history without any of it sounding familiar -- though there are, intentionally, many parallels to human history, especially the history of religion, philosophy, and science.
Beyond that, the less you know going in, the more you will enjoy the unfolding of this tale as it grows in scale and complexity. At first a sense of timelessness is created as we are introduced to a social order that thinks in terms of centuries and millenia, isolated by physical walls and social conventions from the surrounding civilization. But soon one of the characters expresses a wish that someday something would ... happen. And of course it does, as it must in any good novel. In a very satisfying way, something momentous works its way up from the depths until it bursts to the surface like a whale, shattering the quiet lives of the contemplatives and threatening global survival.
Should we compare it to Moby Dick? Probably not, but the quest for the explanation and resolution is as compelling as Ahab's obsession. And Anathem is a rare thing in contemporary literature of any kind: a novel of ideas. Though it owes something to Umberto Ecco's The Name of the Rose in its depiction of a monastic life, it also invites comparison to The Magic Mountain of Thomas Mann or The Glass Bead Game of Herman Hesse. Where else would we find the characters (and the author) indulging in lengthy Socratic dialogs about logic and a priori truth? This is not your father's sci fi.
There is such a wealth of this type of material that several sections have been stripped out (perhaps at the suggestion of an editor) and appear in the back of the book as "Calcas," or logical exercises. The cuts were made judiciously, because while they are interesting reading by themselves they are not as relevant to the plot as the ones that remain in the body of the novel.
But by all means, don't let this imposing array of features deter you from reading. Anathem is a ripping good yarn that even manages to encompass a love story. And it is one of the most richly depicted worlds in all of literature. Dive in and feast.

1 Mechanical Behaviour Analysis of Polyester Polymer Mortars Modified with Recycled GFRP Waste Materials
Authors: M.C.S. Ribeiro, J.P. Meixedo, A. Fiúza, M.L. Dinis, Ana C. Meira Castro, F.J.G. Silva, C. Costa, F. Ferreira, M.R. Alvim
Abstract:In this study the effect of incorporation of recycled glass-fibre reinforced polymer (GFRP) waste materials, obtained by means of milling processes, on mechanical behaviour of polyester polymer mortars was assessed. For this purpose, different contents of recycled GFRP waste powder and fibres, with distinct size gradings, were incorporated into polyester based mortars as sand aggregates and filler replacements. Flexural and compressive loading capacities were evaluated and found better than unmodified polymer mortars. GFRP modified polyester based mortars also show a less brittle behaviour, with retention of some loading capacity after peak load. Obtained results highlight the high potential of recycled GFRP waste materials as efficient and sustainable reinforcement and admixture for polymer concrete and mortars composites, constituting an emergent waste management solution.

Excellent question! With so many local gym options as well as free YouTube workout videos, why choose us? I'm so glad you asked!
Kid-friendly (really!)
A changing table for the little ones, toys and books for the toddler and preschool set, a TV with kids' shows on Netflix — all within your line of sight while you work out. The workout area opens right up to the kids' room (with an optional gate for especially rowdy days), so your kids are entertained while you sweat. Non-mobile babies are also welcome to chill in their stroller, car seat, or on a blanket right next to you while you work out. Click here to take a photo tour of our studio!
If I had a dollar for every potential client that meets with me and says, "I'm really motivated and excellent at planning and doing workouts on my own at home; I'm good in that department," I would have exactly…carry the one…zero dollars. Every mom struggles with accountability.
We don't even have time to drink an entire cup of coffee in one go; how on earth are we supposed to find the time to fit in a workout? Let me help with that. I plan all the workouts ahead of time, taking into consideration everyone's specific considerations — pregnancy, pelvic floor issues, joint pain, prior injuries or surgery, etc. — and teach you everything you need to know to be successful. I keep a watchful, experienced eye on you to help you with your form, and I answer and and all questions you have. What do you have to do?
Show up.
That's literally it. I'm rooting for your success and do everything possible to make your experience positive, welcoming, appropriately challenging, and fun. You get here; I'll take care of the rest.
Have you ever been in a store or at a restaurant when your baby suddenly starts fussing, and you feel like the whole world is giving you dirty looks? Yeah, me too. You will NEVER get that at Fierce Mama Fitness. We've been through it all — diaper blowouts, tantrums, hungry babies, kids sobbing because their breakfast toast was "too toasty."* We all know that some days you win the good behavior/baby-sleeps-the-whole-class lottery, and some days you end up doing squats with a red-faced screaming child strapped to your chest. It's all good.
Being a mom, especially one to a small baby, can feel so isolating and it can be really hard to make friends. The friendships that I've seen blossom in the rest between sets, in our private Facebook group, and over a beer or glass of wine at one of our semi-regular Moms Nights Out are absolutely amazing. We get it and we are here for you.
*That would be my kid.
You know that you probably should do strength training. You've read somewhere that there are a lot of benefits, but it seems kind of intimidating and is it really that much better than just hopping on the treadmill for 45 minutes?
YES. #notbiased
Here are just some of the amazing feats our members have accomplished since they unleashed their inner Fierce Mama:
Carry their off-the-growth-charts child without any back pain.
Toss forty-pound bags of sandbox sand over a fence to save walking around the entire house.
Blowdrying and curling their hair without their arms getting tired.
Dragging an extremely heavy Christmas tree box up to the attic without the help of her husband.
Run and jump without leaking.
Unloading an entire truck of horse feed by herself.
Your accomplishment here!
Let's add your feat of strength to the list. Schedule your free consultation today!

I don't normally sign up to do these sort of things. I'm not a very committed person when it comes to my personal writing. Often times the more I feel forced into doing something the less I begin to do things. I started off writing in my blog nearly daily and now I write every few months. I don't know when I made the transition and I'm not entirely sure what spurred my lack of interest in my own personal writing, but it happened.
So it came as no surprise that I originally disregarded the invite to join the Self Love Project. It involved dedication and a time commitment. I closed my notifications and went about my Facebook business. Then it occurred to me, I wasn't scared of doing the writing. I wasn't concerned about having my voice heard. I wasn't worried of what others might think of my grammatically incorrect and often strung out thoughts. Nope. I was scared of failing. I was scared of letting myself down. I didn't love myself enough to immerse into the world of writing, which I so dearly love. So I back stepped.
I clicked open the page that a RMWC alum had invited me to join and I did just that. I took a step towards loving myself. I told myself it is ok to fail. If you miss a day or even a few there is no penalty, no deadline, no disappointed being telling you the project was a failure. This project is all about how your life would be different if you just took a step back and loved yourself and your body. I spent most of my life coming to terms with my body. I've spent the last couple of years teaching myself to love it and everything else about me. I've worked on becoming a better, stronger, person. Now I need to learn to love that person. Where better to start than through my writing.

BATTLE DROID Arena Conflict Accessory Set
Saga Target Exclusive
Item No.: Asst. 32532 No. 32534
Number: n/a
Includes: Blaster, jetpack, rockets, rifles, pistols, Jango's helmet, lightsabers, Jedi cloak, handcuffs
Action Feature: Lever moves arms
Retail: $9.99
Availability: Fall 2002
Appearances: Attack of the Clones
Bio: A battle droid or killer droid was any droid designed for combat. Many of the best known battle droids were those used by the Confederacy of Independent Systems during the Clone Wars. (Stolen from Wookieepedia.)
Image: Adam Pawlus' Geonosis Arena playset.
Commentary: As you can see, sometimes the best intentions have, as the kids say, 50% chance of fail. This Battle Droid was a fantastic idea in that it was a popular trooper figure, newly colored, and loaded with extras for a mere $10. Of course, when figures were $5 everywhere, $10 is suddenly a large amount of money. This droid took the 2000 body of the Security Battle Droid and molded the whole thing in red, not just the shoulders. Jointed at the knees, elbows, neck, shoulders, and hips, it pretty much does everything a Battle Droid can be expected to do, except stand up for long periods of time-- the joints are quite soft and even on a display base, this figure will sag, fall over, or just warp as gravity does its deed.
The reason many fans will want this is the accessories. The set's most notable, and odd, accessory is a large rocket pack with two firing projectiles. As it's heavy, it will cause the figure to eventually fall over, but it's fun to play with. The figure also comes with accessories for other figures, but you have to ask yourself-- are two lightsabers, three blasters, a helmet, a backpack, a cloak, and some handcuffs worth $5? Seeing as I bought a Grievous figure with a blaster and four lightsabers for $5, I'd say no-- and other fans seemed to vote with their dollars the same way. It is because of items like this not selling that we have no accessory packs on the market today. Sadly, people don't really want them-- it's easier to sell 5 different Jango Fetts than it is to sell a single figure and additional parts. Sad, but true.
Collector's Notes: This was the last nail in the coffin for accessory sets as we know them-- Hasbro tried to revisit the concept later with many figures and accessories in a set, but that didn't really work out. This item was sent to the dreaded clearance racks, but even then, it's a good item. (MORE IMAGES COMING SOON)

Pluralistic Media
UNESCO is providing support to community radios through the implementation of a SIDA funded project themed "Empowering Local Radios with ICTs" in Kenya, Rwanda and Uganda. This is done through a series of capacity building activities and mentorships that seeks to bridge the gap between poor people - especially women and girls - and stimulate public debate on issues of local public concern. The interventions aim at improving radio stations programming quality, enhance pluralistic media through building capacities of radio practitioners to integrate youth voices into radio programming, encourage use of ICTs as a support for local radio broadcasting, and also increase geographical range of news coverage with network of correspondents. It also focuses on gender equality actions and financial sustainability of the radio stations.
In regards to UNESCOs commitment to support and facilitate pluralistic media institutions to adopt gender-sensitive policies and for strengthened community media policy and practice, UNESCO is currently empowering youth from youth organizations to develop and deepen competencies to enable them participate in Media and Information Literacy initiatives in Kenya. This intervention also seeks to support the development of national media and information literacy policy and strategies through the adoption of UNESCO media and information literacy curriculum for teachers in Kenya.

UPDATED: Domestic Violence Agency to Host Annual 5K Run/4K Walk to Break the Silence in September
FRAMINGHAM – Voices Against Violence (VAV), the domestic violence and rape crisis center serving communities in the greater Framingham and Marlborough areas of Metro West Boston, is hosting its 2017 Purple Passion 5K Run/Walk to Break the Silence fundraiser on Saturday, Sept. 23 in support of the organization's mission to end sexual and domestic violence.
This annual fundraiser features a timed 5K race and a 4K walk that will begin and end at the South Middlesex Opportunity Council's (SMOC) parking lot, 7 Bishop Street.
There is a $30 registration fee for all timed runners and a $20 registration fee for casual runners and walkers.
Check-in and day-of- race registration will begin at 7 am at SMOC headquarters.
The timed run will begin promptly at 8 a.m., immediately followed by casual runners and walkers.

Parking is free in the rear lot at 7 Bishop Street.
Official event medals will be awarded to the top three finishers, along with the first, second and third place winners in each age category.
Congresswoman Katherine Clark will once again serve as honorary chair of the event and will be represented by her District Counsel, Wade Blackman of Natick.
"Voices Against Violence exemplifies our community's leadership in the fight to end intimate partner violence. As allies and advocates, we're committed to doing everything in our power to educate families, push for better policies, and end the silence surrounding violence," said Congresswoman Clark.
For the past 40 years, Voices Against Violence, a program operated by the South Middlesex Opportunity Council (SMOC) has provided free and confidential services to victims and survivors of sexual and domestic violence and their families.
In 2017, the organization provided 4389 hours of counseling and case management for 821 survivors and connected 196 survivors with legal assistance. Trained volunteers and staff members spent 387 hours working with 979 victims through the organization's 24-hour hotline.
The KidSpace Supervised Visitation Center provides safe and neutral visitation for 56 families.
Patricia Hohl, Director of Voices Against Violence, noted that, "for 40 years this organization has helped victims and their children survive the trauma of domestic violence. Our staff works in partnership with individuals and families to ensure their safety and create stable home environments, while connecting victims to support services that will help them develop personal and economic self-sufficiency. Our hope is that this family-friendly event will shine a light on the tragedy of family violence that occurs right here in the MetroWest, while we raise the necessary funds to ensure that free and confidential support and educational services remain uninterrupted."
Event participants are encouraged to form teams and to ask their friends, family members and co-workers to support their participation by making a donation to their fundraising page so that Voices Against Violence can meet its fundraising goal.

A. Paul in the city of Corinth.
1. (Act 18:1-3) Paul arrives in Corinth and meets Aquila and Priscilla.
After these things Paul departed from Athens and went to Corinth. And he found a certain Jew named Aquila, born in Pontus, who had recently come from Italy with his wife Priscilla (because Claudius had commanded all the Jews to depart from Rome); and he came to them. So, because he was of the same trade, he stayed with them and worked; for by occupation they were tentmakers.
a. Corinth was a major city of the Roman Empire, at an important crossroads of trade and travel; it was also a city notorious for its hedonism and immorality.
i. Even in Paul's day, Corinth was an ancient city. It was a commercial center with two harbors and a long rival to its northern neighbor, Athens. Corinth was a city with a remarkable reputation for loose living and especially sexual immorality. In classical Greek, to act like a Corinthian was to practice fornication, and a Corinthian companion was a prostitute. This sexual immorality was permitted under the extremely prevalent worship of Aphrodite (also known as Venus, the goddess of fertility and sexuality). In 146 BC, Corinth rebelled against Rome and was brutally destroyed by Roman armies. It lay in ruins for a century, until Julius Caesar rebuilt the city, and it quickly re-established its former position as a center for both trade and immorality of every sort.
ii. "It is significant that it was from this city that Paul wrote his Roman letter; and when one reads his description of Gentile corruption in that Roman letter, one has almost certainly a mirror of what he found in Corinth. (Romans 1:22-32)" (Morgan)
iii. One ancient writer described Corinth as a town where "none but the tough could survive."
iv. Paul knew that because people from all over the Empire passed through Corinth, a strong church there could touch lives all over the Empire. He knew Corinth was a tough city, but he wasn't only interested in planting churches where he thought it would be easy!
b. And he found a certain Jew named Aquila … with his wife Priscilla … and he came to them: It is implied, though not clearly stated, that Aquila and Priscilla were at this time Christians. But it is possible that Paul led them both to Jesus as they worked together as tentmakers (those who worked with leather).
i. For by occupation they were tentmakers: Paul's tentmaking was an important part of his ministry. Though he recognized his right to be supported by those he ministered to (1 Corinthians 9:7-14), he voluntarily supported himself on the mission field so that no one could accuse him of seeking converts for the sake of enriching himself (1 Corinthians 9:15-18).
ii. In the modern missions movement, people call any work that a missionary does to support himself on the mission field tentmaking.
iii. "In Judaism it was not considered proper for a scribe or a rabbi to receive payment for his teaching, so many of them practised a trade in addition to their study and teaching of the law." (Bruce)
c. Because Claudius had commanded all the Jews to depart from Rome: The Roman historian Suetonius writes that Claudius banished Jews from Rome because they were "indulging in constant riots at the instigation of Chrestus." There have been many attempts to explain who Chrestus was, but a likely solution is that Suetoniusm referred to Christ, but writing some seventy years after the events, had the name somewhat mixed up. It seems that the expulsion had to do with "dissension and disorder within the Jewish community of Rome resulting from the introduction of Christianity into one or more of the synagogues of the city." (Bruce)
i. Chronology is often a tricky issue, but it seems that this expulsion of Jews from Rome occurred at about 49 A.D.
2. (Act 18:4-8) Paul's ministry among the Jews and Gentiles of Corinth.
And he reasoned in the synagogue every Sabbath, and persuaded both Jews and Greeks. When Silas and Timothy had come from Macedonia, Paul was compelled by the Spirit, and testified to the Jews that Jesus is the Christ. But when they opposed him and blasphemed, he shook his garments and said to them, "Your blood be upon your own heads; I am clean. From now on I will go to the Gentiles." And he departed from there and entered the house of a certain man named Justus, one who worshiped God, whose house was next door to the synagogue. Then Crispus, the ruler of the synagogue, believed on the Lord with all his household. And many of the Corinthians, hearing, believed and were baptized.
a. And he reasoned in the synagogue every Sabbath: Paul was effective as he reasoned among the Jews and Greeks. The Greeks present in the synagogue were Gentiles interested in and sympathetic with Judaism.
b. When Silas and Timothy had come from Macedonia: When Timothy came, he brought news about how the Christians in Thessalonica were remaining steadfast in the faith (1 Thessalonians 3:6-10). This brought Paul great joy, spurring him on in ministry (Paul was compelled by the Spirit). He answered back by writing 1 Thessalonians from Corinth.
i. Paul describes the character of his bold preaching in Corinth preaching in 1 Corinthians 2:1-16, where he declared, For I determined not to know anything among you except Jesus Christ and Him crucified.
c. According to 2 Corinthians 11:8-9, while Paul was in Corinth, financial support arrived from the Christians in Philippi, and he was able to put aside tentmaking for a while and concentrate more fully on the task of building the church in Corinth.
d. But when they opposed him and blasphemed: The blasphemy must have been directed against Jesus, because Paul was preaching Jesus as the Messiah (testified to the Jews that Jesus is the Christ). This is an indirect declaration of the deity of Jesus, because someone can only really blaspheme God.
e. From now on I will go to the Gentiles: Paul strongly sensed his responsibility to preach to the Jews first (Romans 1:16), but when his message was rejected, he did not waste time in going to the Gentiles.
i. Paul fulfilled the spirit of what Jesus said in Matthew 7:6: Do not give what is holy to the dogs; nor cast your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you in pieces. When people are determined to reject the gospel, we shouldn't keep trying with them until the door is open again.
f. Paul shook his garments so that not a speck of dust from the synagogue would remain on his clothes, much less his sandals. This was a dramatic way of expressing his rejection of their rejection! Paul was certainly capable of dramatic and vivid demonstrations of his message.
g. However, Paul did not then forbid Jews to come to Jesus, because Crispus, the ruler of the synagogue, believed on the Lord with all his household. Paul merely switched the focus of his evangelism from the Jews to the Gentiles.
i. Crispus was one of the few in Corinth whom Paul personally baptized (1 Corinthians 1:14).
h. What kind of people were the many of the Corinthians whobelieved and were baptized? Paul tells us in 1 Corinthians 1:26: For you see your calling, brethren, that not many wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called.
3. (Act 18:9-11) God's special encouragement to Paul in Corinth.
Now the Lord spoke to Paul in the night by a vision, "Do not be afraid, but speak, and do not keep silent; for I am with you, and no one will attack you to hurt you; for I have many people in this city." And he continued there a year and six months, teaching the word of God among them.
a. Do not be afraid: The implication behind this message was that Paul was afraid, fearing that here in Corinth his work would be cut short by either opposing Jews (as in Thessalonica and Berea) or by the incredible worldliness around him.
i. Jesus didn't tell Paul that his opponents wouldn't try to stop him, only that they would not be successful.
b. The solution to Paul's fear is for him to obey Jesus' command to not be afraid; and to speak and not keep silent, that is, to keep getting the Word of God out.
c. The basis for God's command to not be afraid and to keep preaching is the promise I am with you. When we understand what this means, and Who is saying it, this is enough.
d. The additional promise I have many people in this city was a constant assurance to Paul, who must have often had doubts about the survival and health of the Corinthian church.
e. And he continued there a year and six months: Paul was in Corinth a year and a half, which seems to be longer than in any other city where he founded a church. His ministry at Corinth is described simply: teaching the word of God among them.
i. The duration of Paul's stay in Corinth shows where his heart was in ministry. He was no "in and out" evangelist, but a man committed to making disciples.
4. (Act 18:12-17) The Jews of Corinth attempt (unsuccessfully) to convict Paul before the civil authorities.
When Gallio was proconsul of Achaia, the Jews with one accord rose up against Paul and brought him to the judgment seat, saying, "This fellow persuades men to worship God contrary to the law." And when Paul was about to open his mouth, Gallio said to the Jews, "If it were a matter of wrongdoing or wicked crimes, O Jews, there would be reason why I should bear with you. But if it is a question of words and names and your own law, look to it yourselves; for I do not want to be a judge of such matters." And he drove them from the judgment seat. Then all the Greeks took Sosthenes, the ruler of the synagogue, and beat him before the judgment seat. But Gallio took no notice of these things.
a. In approaching the proconsul of Achaia, the Jews of Corinth are trying to stop Paul not only in Corinth, but also in the entire province.
i. "If Gallio had accepted the Jewish charge and found Paul guilty of the alleged offense, provincial governors everywhere would have had a precedent, and Paul's ministry would have been severely restricted. As it was, Gallio's refusal to act in the matter was tantamount to the recognition of Christianity as a religio licita" (Longenecker)
b. Gallio was correct in seeing that the government has no legitimate role in attempting to decide religious matters, though government does have a legitimate role in matters of wrongdoing or wicked crimes.
c. Gallio looked the other way when angry Gentiles (probably more anti-Jewish than truly sympathetic to Paul) beat Sosthenes, the leader of the synagogue.
i. Apparently, when Crispus trusted in Jesus, he was replaced as ruler of the synagogue (verse 8) by Sosthenes - who later himself seems to have become a Christian (1 Corinthians 1:1).
B. The end of Paul's second missionary journey.
1. (Act 18:18) Paul leaves the city of Corinth with Aquila and Priscilla.
So Paul still remained a good while. Then he took leave of the brethren and sailed for Syria, and Priscilla and Aquila were with him. He had his hair cut off at Cenchrea, for he had taken a vow.
a. He had his hair cut off at Cenchrea, for he had taken a vow: The vow was undoubtedly the vow of a Nazirite (Numbers 6). Usually, the vow of a Nazirite was taken for a certain period of time, and when completed, the hair (which had been allowed to freely grow) was cut off and offered to the Lord at a special ceremony at the temple in Jerusalem.
i. The purpose of the vow of a Nazirite was to express a unique consecration to God, promising to abstain from all products from the grapevine, to not cut one's hair, and to never come near a dead body.
ii. Why did Paul do this at this time? William Barclay suggests, "No doubt Paul was thinking of all God's goodness to him in Corinth and took this vow to show his gratitude." But the purpose of a Nazirite vow seems to be more of consecration than thanksgiving. Perhaps the intense worldliness of Corinth made Paul want to express his dedication and separation unto the Lord more than ever.
b. Then he took leave of the brethren and sailed: Paul's intention is to travel to Jerusalem to offer this hair in a prescribed ceremony for those who had completed the vow of a Nazirite.
c. Apparently, though Paul was adamant that Jewish ceremonies and rituals must not be required of Gentiles, he saw nothing wrong with Jewish believers who wished to observe such ceremonies, presumably if their fulfillment in Jesus was also recognized.
i. By tradition, a Nazirite vow could only be fulfilled in Judea. Paul began this vow at Cenchrea, not in Judea. Paul's adoption of the vow out of the bounds dictated by Jewish tradition could indicate a desire to practice a more purely Biblical observance of Jewish rituals.
2. (Act 18:19-21) Paul in the city of Ephesus.
And he came to Ephesus, and left them there; but he himself entered the synagogue and reasoned with the Jews. When they asked him to stay a longer time with them, he did not consent, but took leave of them, saying, "I must by all means keep this coming feast in Jerusalem; but I will return again to you, God willing." And he sailed from Ephesus.
a. And he came to Ephesus: Paul wanted to preach in Ephesus some two years earlier, but was prevented by the Holy Spirit (Acts 16:6). Now, the Holy Spirit gives him the liberty to minister in this important city, and great results are seen.
i. God has a special timing for everything in our lives. If Paul could have discerned it, the Holy Spirit was really saying, "wait" when he wanted to go to Ephesus, instead of "no." Sometimes God says, "wait" and He always knows what He's doing when He says it!
b. They asked him to stay a longer time with them, he did not consent, but took leave of them, saying, "I must by all means keep this coming feast in Jerusalem": Paul cannot stay long in Ephesus, wanting to present the offering of his Nazirite vow in Jerusalem at an upcoming feast.
3. (Act 18:22) Landing at Caesarea, and going through Jerusalem, Paul returns to his home church at Antioch of Syria, concluding his second missionary journey.
And when he had landed at Caesarea, and gone up and greeted the church, he went down to Antioch.
a. Gone up and greeted the church: When it says that Paul had gone up and greeted the church, it means he went up to Jerusalem and fulfilled his Nazirite vow in the temple.
C. Paul's third missionary journey begins in the regions of Galatia, Phyrgia, and the city of Ephesus.
1. (Act 18:23) In the regions of Galatia and Phyrgia.
After he had spent some time there, he departed and went over the region of Galatia and Phrygia in order, strengthening all the disciples.
a. Strengthening all the disciples: Paul's passion for building disciples, not merely making converts, is evident again.
b. Strengthening all the disciples was important to Paul. If he were right here among us, he would want to know: "How strong of a disciple are you? What can I do to strengthen your walk with the Lord?" He would remind us all that it isn't enough to make a strong beginning with Jesus, but we must be always getting stronger.
2. (Act 18:24-28) The ministry of Apollos in Ephesus.
Now a certain Jew named Apollos, born at Alexandria, an eloquent man and mighty in the Scriptures, came to Ephesus. This man had been instructed in the way of the Lord; and being fervent in spirit, he spoke and taught accurately the things of the Lord, though he knew only the baptism of John. So he began to speak boldly in the synagogue. When Aquila and Priscilla heard him, they took him aside and explained to him the way of God more accurately. And when he desired to cross to Achaia, the brethren wrote, exhorting the disciples to receive him; and when he arrived, he greatly helped those who had believed through grace; for he vigorously refuted the Jews publicly, showing from the Scriptures that Jesus is the Christ.
a. Aquilla and Priscilla: Apparently, when Paul came to Ephesus on his second missionary journey (Acts 18:19-21), he left Aquila and Priscilla, who had been traveling with him (Acts 18:18), there in Ephesus.
b. In Ephesus, Aquilla and Priscilla met a certain Jew named Apollos. He is described as an eloquent man and mighty in the Scriptures, and fervent in spirit. The phrase fervent in spirit means literally "to boil in the spirit," and has the effect of "bubbling over with enthusiasm." Apollos didn't know much about Jesus (though he knew only the baptism of John), but what he knew he was excited about!
c. Apollos was a man who ministered mightily, yet with limited knowledge. So he was helped by Aquila and Priscilla in Ephesus, when they took him aside and explained to him the way of God more accurately.
i. Because Apollos knew of the work of John the Baptist, it is likely that he preached that the Messiah had come and we must respond to him, but he probably had little knowledge of the full person and work of Jesus Christ.
ii. The work of Aquila and Priscilla is an important area of ministry: Helping those who have a passion for God, and power in serving Him; yet they have limited knowledge or limited resources for truly effective ministry.
d. It seems Apollos (like many in his day) was a missionary called by God alone, because we have no indication that he was sent or commissioned by any specific apostle. He simply came to Ephesus.
e. The brethren wrote, exhorting the disciples to receive him: With letters of reference from the church in Ephesus, Apollos ministered effectively in Achaia, especially among opposing Jews (he vigorously refuted the Jews publicly).
i. When Apollos went to the region of Achaia, it probably means he went to the city of Corinth in the region of Achaia. From what Paul writes in 1 Corinthians, he apparently had a remarkable ministry there.
ii. Though some Corinthians fixated on Apollos in a divisive spirit (1 Corinthians 1:12, 3:4), there is no reason to believe that Apollos himself encouraged this. Paul himself regards Apollos as a trusted colleague (1 Corinthians 3:5-7; 16:12).
iii. Because Apollos was Jewish, and is described as eloquent, fervent in spirit, as one who vigorously refuted the Jews, able to demonstrate from the Scriptures that Jesus is the Christ, some scholars consider him the type of person who could have authored the letter to the Hebrews.

Wheaton Sprague provided design-development through shop drawings, and fabrication drawings – including both project and mock-up phases, and structural engineering for a custom curtain wall system of approximately 81,000 sq. ft. with 11 stories plus a penthouse. The total square footage of this building, owned by the Louis Dreyfus Property Group is 221,000 sq. ft.
This curtain wall system is a custom unitized system developed by Wheaton Sprague and Trainor Glass. It includes glass soffits at inset areas on the West and South elevations. It also includes the entrance storefront on the South and west elevation at the ground floor, and the storefront at the roof level. Trainor and Wheaton Sprague examined expectations for design, assembly, constructability, sequencing and fabrication.
Wheaton Sprague worked in collaboration with Trainor to design, review, and go through the iterations to create a set of proposal drawings for the architect. Wheaton Sprague then developed detailed shop drawings, which served as a basis for the design and engineering of the wall system. Wheaton Sprague also engineered the Stainless Steel Frame and Glass Wall Entry Doors at the West 17th Street Elevation and the South Elevation.
The project is certainly a head-turner in the Lafayette area of the district. It was the first LEED Platinum Certified building in Washington, D.C.

Planning my weekend. Am sure it'll be fun by why the bizarre logo change? Removing the building outline 'teeth' disassociates Open House from the very thing it exists for - architecture. To those with English as a second language the logo now says nothing. Emailed Rory re this but just got a polite acknowledgement. Weird.
