This type of spiritual encouragement is believed to be why this particular category of art has become increasingly popular for Christian households and churches as a decoration choice. Curiously, not all scripture art has to have words in order to fit into this category. Paintings that depict a symbolized event, such as Psalms 23 or the Lord's Prayer, can also be placed in this category because it's a visual interpretation of the actual scripture rather than a pictorial account of biblical events.

What does the Bible say about creativity? The very first verse of Scripture actually describes a creative act as "God created the heavens and the earth." Additionally, from Genesis, the Bible says, "God created man in his own image." This could be interpreted as we are creators just as God created us. We create relationships, art, homes, cities, nations and many more things including inventions even yet to be known! The creative spirit is certainly favored by God and our fellow man.

In the four hundred and eightieth year after the people of Israel came out of the land of Egypt, in the fourth year of Solomon's reign over Israel, in the month of Ziv, which is the second month, he began to build the house of the Lord. The house that King Solomon built for the Lord was sixty cubits long, twenty cubits wide, and thirty cubits high. The vestibule in front of the nave of the house was twenty cubits long, equal to the width of the house, and ten cubits deep in front of the house. And he made for the house windows with recessed frames. He also built a structure against the wall of the house, running around the walls of the house, both the nave and the inner sanctuary.

"Bezalel and Oholiab and every craftsman in whom the Lord has put skill and intelligence to know how to do any work in the construction of the sanctuary shall work in accordance with all that the Lord has commanded." And Moses called Bezalel and Oholiab and every craftsman in whose mind the Lord had put skill, everyone whose heart stirred him up to come to do the work. And they received from Moses all the contribution that the people of Israel had brought for doing the work on the sanctuary. They still kept bringing him freewill offerings every morning, so that all the craftsmen who were doing every sort of task on the sanctuary came, each from the task that he was doing, and said to Moses, "The people bring much more than enough for doing the work that the Lord has commanded us to do." ...

He also made two capitals of molten bronze to set on the tops of the pillars; the height of the one capital was five cubits and the height of the other capital was five cubits. There were nets of network and twisted threads of chainwork for the capitals which were on the top of the pillars; seven for the one capital and seven for the other capital. So he made the pillars, and two rows around on the one network to cover the capitals which were on the top of the pomegranates; and so he did for the other capital. The capitals which were on the top of the pillars in the porch were of lily design, four cubits. There were capitals on the two pillars, even above and close to the rounded projection which was beside the network; and the pomegranates numbered two hundred in rows around both capitals. Thus he set up the pillars at the porch of the nave; and he set up the right pillar and named it Jachin, and he set up the left pillar and named it Boaz. On the top of the pillars was lily design. So the work of the pillars was finished.

Until the adoption of Christianity by Constantine Christian art derived its style and much of its iconography from popular Roman art, but from this point grand Christian buildings built under imperial patronage brought a need for Christian versions of Roman elite and official art, of which mosaics in churches in Rome are the most prominent surviving examples. Christian art was caught up in, but did not originate, the shift in style from the classical tradition inherited from Ancient Greek art to a less realist and otherworldly hieratic style, the start of gothic art.

Posted 5:35 am by admin & filed under Used Auto Parts.
If you ever wondered where totaled cars go to die, you need only visit a salvage yard in New Oxford to find out. These are the cars that are so far beyond saving that insurance companies would rather pay out on a policy than shell out the dough to fix them. Some are just too old and damaged to be worth ongoing repairs.
Regardless of why these automobiles end up in salvage yards, they're good news for mechanics or DIY gear heads in need of parts. Salvage yards are an ideal place to find parts both common and rare, especially if you don't want to shell out major money for brand new parts to repair, upgrade, or restore a vehicle.
What kinds of parts can you expect to find at salvage yards that offer cash for cars in New Oxford? It may depend on the type of salvage yard and how they operate, but here are a few items that might be on your radar and how you can go about finding them.
Certain types of parts are going to be relatively easy to find regardless of the salvage yard you visit. For example, if you're a big fan of Mopar, you shouldn't have much trouble finding what you want in a salvage yard because there are so many interchangeable and aftermarket parts for this niche.
Some parts are always going to be more difficult to find than others, and there are a couple of reasons why. First, the car you're repairing or restoring might be gaining popularity, in which case a lot of people are after the same parts as you. Or the car you're tinkering with might be old or rare, making it harder to find viable replacement parts, or any parts at all.
Still, there are ways to find what you're looking for. These days, many salvage yards are moving away from the in-person, pick and pull mentality and starting to inventory cars and parts in their yard online to increase patronage. This is a mutually beneficial situation that puts customers into contact with dealers and parts outside of their region.
If you're looking for specific or rare parts and your local salvage yards simply can't deliver, shopping online through virtual salvage yard inventories could deliver the hard-to-find parts you're after.
In addition to parts galore, salvage yards often have entire cars that you can purchase and mine for parts, assuming they haven't already been picked over.


If any athlete, or an athlete's parent, wishes to change coaches, or a coach is approached by an athlete who already has a coach, certain procedures should be observed.
2. If an athlete or an athlete's parent wishes to change coaches, the athlete (or parent) must inform the current coach & discuss it with her/him.
3. If a coach is approached by an athlete, or the athlete's parent, to be coached, the coach must ensure the athlete informs the current coach and then also discuss the matter with the current coach. In all discussions the needs of the athlete must be considered.
All athletes, parents and coaches should follow these procedures as a matter of common courtesy.

President Vladimir Putin chaired a meeting in Yeisk on the Russian military-diplomatic presence in the Black Sea-Azov region
Krasnodar Region
Mr Putin described the Azov-Black Sea basin as a zone of Russian strategic interests. The Black Sea provides Russia with direct access to key global transportation routes, including energy routes, President Putin stressed.
However, the problems of navigation and the border regime in the region have not been finally settled. In particular, complicated and painstaking work is needed together with Ukrainian experts to define the final legal status of the Sea of Azov and the Krech Strait. The President said he discussed the topic during his meeting with his Ukrainian counterpart today.
Complications also arise with setting the rules of navigation in the Black Sea straits. The Russian leader mentioned Turkey's attempts to limit the passage of foreign ships, above all oil tankers, through the Bosphorus and the Dardanelles to the Aegean. There were objective reasons for that, he said, but there was also a wish to put pressure on rivals. The President stressed that the principles of navigation in that key area must comply with existing international legal norms and asked the Foreign Ministry to keep the development of the situation around the straits under close watch.
The President called for a thorough analysis of the real advantages of working with the Black Sea Economic Cooperation Organisation and determining the tactics and strategy of Russian participation in its work.
Military-political stability in the Black Sea region can only be ensured if there is an effective system of confidence and security measures, the Russian leader said, stressing that such a system has been put in place in the Black Sea basin with active Russian participation.
Mr Putin spoke in favour of modernising the Russian Black Sea Fleet and its base, stressing that this work must be conducted jointly with Russia's closest partner, Ukraine.
Comprehensive development of the Russian land and sea border was a serious problem awaiting solution, the President said. He proposed holding a meeting of the Russian Security Council to discuss the issue.
Foreign Minister Igor Ivanov, Defence Minister Sergei Ivanov, Director of the Federal Security Service Nikolai Patrushev, Chief of the Russian Armed Forces General Staff Anatoly Kvashnin, Deputy Chief of Staff of the Presidential Executive Office Alexander Abramov, the Presidential Envoy to the Southern Federal District Viktor Kazantsev, the Governor of the Kranodar Region Alexander Tkachyov, First Deputy Foreign Minister Vyacheslav Trubnikov, First Deputy FSB Director and head of the Border Service Vladimir Pronichev, Air Force Commander-in-Chief Vladimir Mikhailov, Chief Naval Commander Vladimir Kuroyedov and Russia's Ambassador to Ukraine Viktor Chernomyrdin all took part in the meeting.

On models 1988-1990 of there is an additional wire (in a picture is absent).
Bolts of fastening of a starter are specified by shooters.
Before check of a starter be convinced that the battery is completely charged.
1. If the starter electric motor does not rotate at turn of a key at all, then be convinced that the lever of the selector is in situation Park or Neutral (on cars with automatic transmission).
2. Make sure that the battery is charged, check purity reliability of fastening of power cables.
3. If at turn of a key the electric motor of a starter turns on, and the crankshaft is not turned, then slipping of the obgonny coupling of a starter is the reason. In this case the starter should be replaced.
4. If at turn of a key the electric motor of a starter does not rotate, but clicks of the traction relay sound, then contacts of the traction relay, battery or the electric motor of a starter are faulty (or the crankshaft is hardly turned).
5. If at inclusion of a starter the click published by a relay anchor is not listened, then malfunction of the battery, burn-out of a fusible crossing point, malfunction of the traction relay can be causes of failure.
6. For check of the traction relay to a peremknita on the relay a conclusion for connection of the battery (+) and a conclusion for a wire from the ignition key (small plug). If the electric motor of a starter is started, then the traction relay is serviceable, and the ignition key, auxiliary relay of a starter or conducting are faulty.
7. If the starter electric motor is still not started, then remove a starter for dismantling, check and repair.
8. If the starter turns the crankshaft, but with very small speed, then at first check degree of state of charge of the battery and reliability of connections. The starter will rotate the engine with a small speed also in those cases if the crankshaft hardly rotates or in the engine oil with too big viscosity is filled in.
10. Connect the voltmeter. Include a starter and consider the established indication of the voltmeter. Time of inclusion of a starter should not exceed 15 seconds. Tension on the battery at a normal speed of rotation of the crankshaft has to be 9 V or a little more. If tension on the battery is equal to 9 V, or exceeds 9 V a little, and the speed of rotation of the crankshaft low, then the electric motor of a starter is faulty. If voltage less than 9 V, and the speed of rotation of the crankshaft low, then malfunction of a starter or the battery are probable causes.
The starter assembled with the traction relay is not subject to independent repair, despite existence in sale of necessary spare parts. In case of refusal replace a starter or take to repare.
3. Designate and disconnect all wires from a starter.
4. For access to a starter it is required to shoot the air filter, broad tank and hoses of the cooling system with parts of cars.
5. On a part of cars with the 4-cylinder engine turn off bolts and nuts and remove a rack of the soaking-up collector, remove a starter.

Q: KonvaJS - Draggable infinite grid stage I have a question regarding KonvaJS.
I am currently working on Angular CLI with ng2-konva, which is corresponding with all KonvaJS components. Now I want to create a stage, which is draggable infinitely. This is possible by setting drag: true in the config. But now I want to add a grid background to the stage, either dotted or line through.
I tried to troubleshoot myself, but couldn't find a way with Angular TypeScript Syntax on how to code that.
My config for the main stage:
public configBackground: Observable<any> = of ({
    width: window.innerWidth,
    height: window.innerHeight,
    fill: "#EBEEF3",
  })

Thanks in advance for your answers. If there's a duplicate, then sorry for that; feel free to share the link with me. :-)

A: I would recommend creating a layer for your grid and draw lines on it. If you want to see an example take a look at this implementation of mine.
The biggest problem is to make it highly performant. Therefore make sure to use lines instead of rectangles and use some other cool performance features given my konvajs like the listening: false tag.
It took me quite some time, but as far as I can say an extra layer is the best possible way to do the job.
If you have further questions about my implementation feel free to contact me via email.

Circles (The Who song)
Stereophonic sound
Stereo (MGK song)
Stereo (1969 film)
"Circles" (also released as "Circles (Instant Party)", "Instant Party (Circles)" and "Instant Party") is a song by The Who. The song, initially planned to be a Who single, saw a complicated release history. There are versions produced by The Who and by Shel Talmy.
"Circles" was written as an attempt to find a different sound after the band's debut album, My Generation. Upon finding out from Pete Townshend that bassist John Entwistle could play trumpet, the band's manager Kit Lambert, decided to allow the band to try creating a song featuring Entwistle's horns.
"Circles," backed with the instrumental "Instant Party Mixture," was originally planned to be released as the follow-up single to the band's smash hit, "My Generation," on the Brunswick label. However, the band secretly broke their contract with producer Shel Talmy and rerecorded the song as the B-side to their new UK single, "Substitute." Shel Talmy took legal action against the band for this use of a song he had originally produced for the band. The charge was lifted on 25 March 1966, but not before the US (and some later UK) releases of the single saw the B-side changed first by renaming "Circles" to "Instant Party", then replaced altogether by "Waltz for a Pig," an instrumental by The Graham Bond Organisation.

The Who are an English rock band that formed in 1964. Their classic line-up consisted of lead singer Roger Daltrey, guitarist Pete Townshend, bassist John Entwistle, and drummer Keith Moon. They are considered one of the most influential rock bands of the 20th century, selling over 100 million records worldwide and establishing their reputation equally on live shows and studio work.
The Who developed from an earlier group, the Detours, and established themselves as part of the pop art and mod movements, featuring auto-destructive art by destroying guitars and drums on stage. Their first single as the Who, "I Can't Explain", reached the UK top ten, followed by a string of singles including "My Generation", "Substitute" and "Happy Jack". In 1967, they performed at the Monterey Pop Festival and released the US top ten single "I Can See for Miles", while touring extensively. The group's fourth album, 1969's rock opera Tommy, included the single "Pinball Wizard" and was a critical and commercial success. Live appearances at Woodstock and the Isle of Wight Festival, along with the live album Live at Leeds, cemented their reputation as a respected rock act. With their success came increased pressure on lead songwriter and visionary Townshend, and the follow-up to Tommy, Lifehouse, was abandoned. Songs from the project made up 1971's Who's Next, which included the hit "Won't Get Fooled Again". The group released the album Quadrophenia in 1973 as a celebration of their mod roots, and oversaw the film adaptation of Tommy in 1975. They continued to tour to large audiences before semi-retiring from live performances at the end of 1976. The release of Who Are You in 1978 was overshadowed by the death of Moon shortly after.

Stereophonic sound or, more commonly, stereo, is a method of sound reproduction that creates an illusion of multi-directional audible perspective. This is usually achieved by using two or more independent audio channels through a configuration of two or more loudspeakers (or stereo headphones) in such a way as to create the impression of sound heard from various directions, as in natural hearing. Thus the term "stereophonic" applies to so-called "quadraphonic" and "surround-sound" systems as well as the more common two-channel, two-speaker systems. It is often contrasted with monophonic, or "mono" sound, where audio is heard as coming from one position, often centered in the sound field (analogous to a visual field). In the 2000s, stereo sound is common in entertainment systems such as broadcast radio and TV, recorded music and the cinema.
The word stereophonic derives from the Greek "στερεός" (stereos), "firm, solid" + "φωνή" (phōnē), "sound, tone, voice" and it was coined in 1927 by Western Electric, by analogy with the word "stereoscopic".

"Stereo" is a song by American hip hop recording artist MGK. The song was released on September 20, 2012 with an accompanying music video, and serves as the first promotional single from his debut studio album Lace Up. The single features vocals from Alex Fitts of The Kickdrums and was produced by Alex Kickdrum.
"Stereo" is one of MGK's older songs, being previously featured on his 2010 mixtape: Lace Up!. It was released on September 20, 2012 with an accompanying music video, on his Vevo account. On his Twitter account, MGK stated that the music video was shot and finished over a year before it was officially released but wanted to wait for his upcoming album's release date to be closer. The track is featured on Lace Up - The Prelude, an EP released exclusively for Sony's Music Unlimited service. Lace Up - The Prelude was released on October 2, 2012.
The video was released through MGK's Vevo account to YouTube on September 20, 2012, and features a cameo appearance from Alex Fitts. The video, switches between MGK either riding in a custom painted tourbus also occupied by what appears to be prostitutes, or with a girlfriend whose father dislikes him, or rapping in an empty room. The second scenario portrays the songs lyrics; MGK is deeply in love with a girl but her father, a police officer, dislikes him and will go to great lengths to keep them apart. While the first scenario displays shots of MGK running from the police or him and Alex Fitts in the tourbus with all the other girls. The third scenario is shown after MGK is chased away by the police. The first and second scenarios eventually coincide with one another at the end of the video.

Stereo is a 1969 Canadian film written, shot, edited and directed by David Cronenberg. It stars Ronald Mlodzik, who also appears in Cronenberg's Crimes of the Future, Shivers and Rabid. It was Cronenberg's first feature-length effort, following his two short films, Transfer and From the Drain. It is a brief feature film, with a running time of a little over one hour. This film is set in 1969.
The film has a 60% 'fresh' rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
The film purports to be part of a "mosaic" of educational resources by the Canadian Academy of Erotic Enquiry. It documents an experiment by the unseen Dr. Luther Stringfellow. A young man (Ronald Mlodzik) in a black cloak is seen arriving at the Academy, where he joins a group of young volunteers who are being endowed with telepathic abilities which they are encouraged to develop through sexual exploration. It is hoped that telepathic groups, bonded in polymorphous sexual relationships, will form a socially stabilising replacement for the "obsolescent family unit". One girl develops a secondary personality in order to cope with her new state of consciousness, which gradually ousts her original personality. As the volunteers' abilities develop, the experimenters find themselves increasingly unable to control the progress of the experiment. They decide to separate the telepaths, which results in two suicides. The final sequence shows the young woman who developed an extra personality wearing the black cloak.

[PUNK:]
You declared you would be three inches taller
You only became what we made you.
Thought you were chasing a destiny calling
You only earned what we gave you.
You fell and cried as our people were starving,
Now you know that we blame you.
You tried to walk on the trail we were carving,
Now you know that we framed you.
[G.F.:]
I'm the guy in the sky
Flying high Flashing eyes
No surprise I told lies
I'm the punk in the gutter
I'm the new president
But I grew and I bent
Don't you know? don't it show?
I'm the punk with the stutter.
My my my my my mmmm my my my.
GGGGG-g-g-g-g generation.
We tried to speak between lines of oration
You could only repeat what we told you.
Your axe belongs to a dying nation,
They don't know that we own you.
You're watching movies trying to find the feelers,
You only see what we show you.
We're the slaves of the phony leaders
Breathe the air we have blown you.
I'm the guy [etc.]
I have to be careful not to preach
I can't pretend that I can teach,
And yet I've lived your future out
By pounding stages like a clown.
And on the dance floor broken glass,
The bloody faces slowly pass,
The broken seats in empty rows,
It all belongs to me you know.

Roughly 17 percent of the more than 1.5 million drug arrests in 2014 involved drug manufacturing charges. Criminal charges for manufacturing illegal drugs can be charged at both the federal and state level, often depending upon the seriousness of the offense or scale of the operation.
21 U.S.C. § 841(a) (1), makes it illegal to manufacture, sell or possess illegal substances. The offense is committed when anyone participates in any part of the process of manufacturing an illegal substance. For example, the process includes anyone who mixes together chemicals used to make LDS, or "cooks" methamphetamine, or plants and cultivate the seeds to grow marijuana plants. This law is so encompassing that it includes anyone who merely offers to assist, provide chemicals, or supervises in the manufacturing process.
Further, an individual can be convicted under the drug manufacturing law even if he or she never actually made a controlled substance but simply possesses the equipment and device knowing it was to be used in the manufacturing process.
10 years to life: one kilo or more of cocaine, 10 or more grams of LSD, 1,000 or more kilos of marijuana, or more than 50 grams of methamphetamine.
20 years to life: if a death or serious injury occurs in connection with the above quantity offenses; a fine up to four million dollars can also be added.
5 to 40 years: 100 grams or more of heroin, 500 grams or more of cocaine, 1 gram or more of LSD, 100 kilos or more of marijuana, or 5 grams or more of methamphetamine.
20 years to life: if a death or serious injury occurs in connection with the above quantity offenses; a fine up to 2 million dollars can also be added.
Sentences for drug cases can be significantly increased if the government can prove a firearm was possessed or used in the commission of a drug offense.
The federal government takes drug manufacturing so seriously because these operations generally involve large quantities of narcotics and distribution paraphernalia.
Texas penalizes manufacturing more harshly than simple possession, and the penalties continue to increase as the amount of the drug produced increases.
For example, manufacturing between one and four grams of meth is punishable by a sentence of 2 to 20 years in a state prison. But the manufacture of 400 or more grams of methamphetamine is punished by a minimum sentence of 15 years, up to 99 years or life in prison.
Illegal drugs in Texas are grouped into four penalty groups, with a special group for marijuana. Cultivating or manufacturing a drug from one of the four penalty groups can range from a state felony, with a sentence of 18 months to 2 years in prison, all the way up to life in prison and a fine of up to $250,000.
If the drug is not included in one of the penalty groups, it is charged as a Class A Misdemeanor, which is punishable by not more than 1 year in a county jail and/or a fine of not more than $4,000.
Again, this is dependent on the drug involved and the amount that was manufactured or cultivated. If you have a specific inquiry about the charges you may face, you should consult with a criminal defense attorney. The Texas drugs statutes can be found in Texas Health and Safety Code.
Both state and federal laws punish drug manufacturing and cultivation very harshly. If you have been arrested on a cultivation or manufacturing charge, it is in your best interest to contact a criminal defense attorney with a track record of success in both state and federal court as soon as possible.
A criminal defense lawyer with experience representing individuals charged with serious drug cases in both federal and state court can review the facts surrounding a criminal investigation, search and arrest and determined the best possible strategy for fighting these very serious cases. Under the correct circumstances, drug charges, even federal drug charges, can be dismissed or a favorable plea deal negotiated by a legal defense team that seriously challenges law enforcement conduct in the investigation leading to an arrest. Criminal defense lawyers experienced in dismantling federal drug investigations know that the law enforcement agents and police often lie or misrepresent the facts to establish probable cause in their search warrant affidavits. They will undertake resident or vehicle searches without reasonable suspicion or probable cause of criminal activity, or use innocent human activity as a pretext to conduct illegal traffic stops. They also coerce or threaten suspects to secure "consent" to search, and then once consent is obtained, they often go beyond the parameters of the consent.
Contact the John T. Floyd Law Firm if you find yourself under investigation by state or federal law enforcement agents for drug manufacturing or delivery.


This blog was originally due to head out to you last Saturday, but my head and my heart got totally swept up in the Mend Our Mountains Campaign and I just had to share it with you right then and there (a bit like an impatient toddler). So to fill you in, three weeks ago I headed up to North Wales with my colleagues Steve and Will, Bob from Contour Outdoor, Sean from Arc'teryx and Andi Turner, and we ended up having the most incredible 2 days in Snowdonia. We climbed and scrambled in perfect conditions and just had a great couple of days truly enjoying each others company and the mountains.
We arrived at Dolgam Campsite on the Friday evening so we could set up camp whilst we were fresh and have a good, long sit down with Bob and plan our weekend. We checked kit, went over and over the routes, swam, ate and went to bed nice and early with the view to being up and out of the campsite by 7:30.
We managed to stick to this plan (actually quite surprisingly) and were up, showered, fed and driving out of the campsite by 7:30. We headed up the road towards Snowdon with our sights set on scrambling Bilberry Terrace, a 3+ scramble with an exposed alpine feel. Long traverses on exposed grassy ledges interspersed with some short but difficult – for the grade – sections make for a thrilling day out. The weather was phenomenal and, being a Saturday, Snowdon was already packed. Instead of trying to fight our way into the main car park on top of Pen y Pass we parked further down the valley and walked up.
We bypassed the hoards of people gathering in the car park and set off up the Miners park towards Snowdon. Just short of Llyn Llydaw we took the path that veered off left and headed towards Lliwedd. The cliff face in front of us was huge – shooting straight out from the ground, this expanse of rock has numerous different climbing and scrambling routes dotted along the sheer face.
Either due to the long walk in or the pull of Crib Goch and the Snowdon summit, Bilberry Terrace was incredibly quiet. We saw another couple of people dotted along the climbs further along Lliwedd, but we didn't see another soul on our scramble. We felt like we were in our own little bubble.
After a short walk up an incredibly faint path and having to delicately navigate our way up and across the large scree slopes at the base of the crag, we arrived at the base of Bilberry Terrace. Here, we threw on our harnesses and helmets and loaded up with a Hard Bar or two, taking care to avoid slipping down the side of the rock face.
We split into teams of three: Will and Sean buddying up with Bob, and Steve and I buddying up with Andi. Bob and Andi lead the pitches and the rest of us followed up behind them, taking out any gear they placed as we went. Bob, Will and Sean headed up first, then our little team followed.
The route was a brilliant mix of easy ledges, technical climbing and big exposed sections that made you realise how far up you were. If you would like to read a much more thorough description on how to scramble Bilberry Terrace and what to expect then have a read of Bob's Route of the Month: Bilberry Terrace.
It took us a few hours to scramble to the top, the route offered incredible views of Llyn Llydaw and Crib Goch the whole way up, before peeling around the corner to expose Snowdon Summit too (which was packed – we felt very lucky to have the whole climb to ourselves).
After delicately negotiating our way over the pinnacle we reached the top of the scramble. Here, we joined the main path on top of Llewedd and stopped for some lunch – the combination of the heat and concentrating on the scramble had really taken it out of us. Panoramic view meant this was probably one of the best lunch stops I've ever had in my life.
After refuelling and resting our achy legs we trotted the 6.5km back down to Pen y Pass, elated from the incredibly beautiful rock face we'd just climbed. The walk back down was hot – for the first time in hours, we were back in the intense afternoon sun (the whole scramble was, luckily, sheltered from the sun for the entire time we were on it), but the promise of a cold pint at the end of the track and the fact that the mountains seemed to all light up in the afternoon sunshine kept our spirits high.
Back at the campsite, we laughed about the day's antics, exchanging stories from each team's climb (and quite frankly, just having a bit of a giggle at each other). We ate dinner (a feast of fish and chips from the local fish shop) and made plans for the following day (by this point, I had dragged my sleeping bag outside and was already starting to fall asleep). We planned out long multi-pitch trad routes at Clogwyn Yr Oen for the next day, again aiming to be up, packed and ready to go at around half 7.
I was so at peace by the end of the day – being tired from a long day in the mountains is my favourite kind of tired to be. I picked myself up from the comfy nest I'd built for myself on the floor and took myself to bed before it had even gone dark, readying myself for another long day out on the rock.
I'll cover Sunday's climbing at Clogwyn Yr Oen next week – until then, check out Will's Mountain a Month video to see the day in video form!
See you next week, Ferals.


Company branding is really important. Customers shop for brands, prefer some brands over others and can remain loyal to a brand for a lifetime. The brand represents a customer's past experience with a company. A brand distinguishes an organization or product from its rivals in the eyes of that customer.
Target your marketing to the people and places you plan to serve.
Look for products and places that your competitors have ignored.
Define your company values and goals.
Choose your company name, logo and slogan wisely.
Keep your eyes on market shifts that may lead to opportunities.
Be flexible and adapt to the changing times.
In the commercial real estate lending business, you want to set yourself apart from the competition. You want your company, your brokers and loan officers associated with a quality brand that provides a commercial real estate loan product to a consumer.
Establishing a brand is a process. It involves taking stock of who you are as a company, carefully watching for changes and opportunities in the marketplace, and using specific tools and technology to get your message across. The process of creating the successful brand can be broken down into six simple steps.
Step one is doing the research. Study your target audience. You will need to define where you plan to do business and also research the demographics of that area. Look at your current customer base to determine the key factors that led to successful transactions in the past. Why did the customer choose you or your company? Study your competition to determine how and why they are capturing market share.
This information is readily available via simple online searches for the types of commercial real estate loans or geographic areas you are targeting. The information will pop up on the first page of any search engine and clearly communicates where a competitor's marketing dollars are being spent. Where their dollars are going usually communicates the target market and types of loans being closed successfully by the competition. Finally, you should evaluate your own product offerings. This will narrow your target audience and determine your target market.
Step two in creating your brand is writing a personal mission statement and company mission statement. These critical steps should reflect your personal and company values. What is important to your target market and what is important to you? Low rates, fast service, integrity, honesty, profitability, work environment and providing customer value are a few points to consider when crafting personal and company mission statements.
It also may be helpful to consider the mission statements of your competition. What is important to the companies you compete with for business and what is important to the customers they serve? Also, make sure your personal and company mission statements convey your personal and company values clearly and concisely.
Your brand also will need to convey to customers any offerings that the customer can't get from your competition. A value-add product offering is another key feature of a successful brand. It may include a rate or value focus, exceptional terms, fast loan closing, no-documentation or low-documentation products, or other loan offerings that differentiate you from the competition.
Online search engines can be very useful here as well. Your competitors' product offerings and terms are available online. Look for gaps in your competition's services. What are they not providing to the customer? The competition, for example, may not offer stated- income loans or bridge loans on certain types of commercial real estate assets. This can become a niche market for your company.
Another critical step in branding involves presentation. You will need to pick a company name, then create a slogan and logo. The company name introduces your business to the world and creates a long-lasting first impression. It should speak to your industry and convey a characteristic that distinguishes you from your competition. A company name should be memorable and easy to speak aloud.
One aspect of branding that can't be overlooked is the colors that you associate with your company. Colors define the look of your brand and also convey a feeling. It is no secret that fast-food companies use a lot of red in their logos and on their buildings. Review some color-psychology charts online and choose colors that convey a feeling to support your mission statements, product offerings and the features that distinguish your company from the competition.
A professional company that specializes in branding also can help you produce a company name, slogan and logo design. It is also wise to seek competent legal counsel during this process to ensure there is no infringement on another company.
In today's fast-paced electronic age, a well-designed website with mobile capability is the foundation of a good brand. Everything you do and every marketing dollar spent should drive traffic to your website or phone number. A professionally designed website with mobile capability is money well spent, and it should clearly convey your brand's product offerings. Social media platforms and search engine optimization (SEO) are widely used by well-branded companies and are affordable for a newly branded business.
It also is critical to manage your online reputation. Most consumers shop for services online and read the reviews about companies. Although you can't always control what is posted online about you or your company, you can manage the response. Good brands respond quickly to both positive and negative feedback. A consumer wants to see a brand that cares about the customer experience.
Another important part of branding is keeping up with the times. Products, pricing, delivery and the capital markets will always change. Each year, your company should evaluate its target market, mission, value proposition and online presence. Watch your competition, too, especially those companies with large marketing budgets. Look for underserved markets.
Maybe your competition doesn't do loans of less than $3 million, and that may become a niche for your business. A successful brand often seeks the road less travelled. Find a geographic area where there is less competition, or a product offering not being offered in your area.
Successful brands evolve and adapt to market changes, enabling them to remain successful over time. The past two financial crises took place in 1998 with the fall of subprime lenders, followed by 2008 and the collapse of the financial markets.

Harley-Davidson's electric LiveWire pricing, range announced
The Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas got off to a motorcycle-themed start on Monday with Harley-Davidson announcing pricing and range of its LiveWire production electric motorcycle. The Motor Co. also announced that U.S. dealer pre-ordering is now available.
Also, Harley-Davidson revealed two new concept electric two-wheelers.
The 2020 LiveWire is now available for US dealer pre-order at h-d.com/LiveWire with deliveries expected this fall and select global markets announced at a later date.
LiveWire 2018
The LiveWire represents the future of Harley-Davidson, bringing high-performance electric propulsion, evocative design and cellular connectivity to today's rider. The first of a new electric portfolio of motorcycles that provides an all new two-wheel experience, LiveWire delivers thrilling acceleration, agile handling, premium materials and finishes, and a full suite of electronic rider aids and interfaces for a completely connected experience.
The performance of the LiveWire motorcycle will deliver an exhilarating ride for seasoned motorcyclists, while its clutch-free design also makes the experience for new riders easier than ever. Harley-Davidson also debuted two additional, electrified future concepts that further explore the potential of urban mobility. In keeping with LiveWire, both concepts bring Harley-Davidson's expertise in expressive two-wheeled experiences and push boundaries in design and technology.
These motorcycles are a significant part of the More Roads to Harley-Davidson plan to accelerate building the next generation of riders through new products in additional motorcycle segments, broader access and a commitment to strengthen dealers globally.
"We're at a historic juncture in the evolution of mobility, and Harley-Davidson is at the forefront," said Matt Levatich, Harley-Davidson's President and CEO. "Innovation that moves the body and soul has always been at the heart of our brand, and this next chapter in our history is about creating products and opportunities for existing and aspiring riders of all ages and walks of life."
"Our vision for the future is all encompassing," said Levatich. "For all ages, from urban professional to exurban retiree, and from commute-minded to thrill-seeking, we are creating the products and opportunities for existing and aspiring riders to feel the transformative power of the two-wheeled riding experience. These two concepts are further statements towards that our commitment to lead in the electric mobility space that begins this fall with the production 2020 LiveWire."
LiveWire Pre-Order Details
For more information on the new Harley-Davidson LiveWire motorcycle (U.S. MSRP $29,799), as well as updates on future additional bikes, visit Harley-Davidson.com/Electric or the brand's Facebook, Twitter or Instagram channels. To find a dealer for a LiveWire motorcycle pre-order placement, visit www.h-d.com/LiveWire.
An all-New Riding Experience with Iconic Harley-Davidson Power
Accessible to new motorcyclists and a thrill for accomplished riders, the LiveWire motorcycle is the perfect combination of power, performance and technology.
Amazing acceleration: from 0 to 60 mph in under 3.5 seconds. The instant torque provided by the H-D Revelation electric powertrain can produce 100 percent of its rated torque the instant the throttle is twisted, and 100 percent of that torque is always available.
Twist-and-go ease of use: Electric power requires no clutch and no gear shifting, greatly simplifying operation for new riders. All riders will appreciate the braking effect of the power regeneration mode as it adds charge to the battery, especially in stop-and-go urban traffic.
H-D Connect Service: The LiveWire motorcycle is equipped with H-D Connect, which pairs motorcycle riders with their bikes through an LTE-enabled Telematics Control Unit coupled with connectivity and cloud services using the latest version of the Harley-Davidson App. This technology makes the LiveWire motorcycle the first North American mass-market cellular-connected electric motorcycle. With H-D Connect, data is collected and transferred to the app to provide information to the rider's smartphone about:
Motorcycle status: Information available through H-D Connect includes battery charge status and available range from any location where a sufficient cellular signal is available. This allows the rider to remotely check the charge status including charge level and time to completion. Riders will be able to locate a charging station with ease thanks to an integrated location finder built into the H-D App.
Tamper alerts and vehicle location: H-D Connect indicates the location of the parked LiveWire motorcycle and alerts can be sent to the rider's smartphone if the bike is tampered with or moved. GPS-enabled stolen-vehicle tracking provides peace of mind that the motorcycle's location can be tracked. (Requires law enforcement assistance. Available in select markets.)
Service reminders and notifications: Reminders about upcoming vehicle service requirements, automated service reminders and other vehicle care notifications.
Performance and range optimized for the urban street-rider: Able to travel an estimated 110 miles of urban roads on a single charge.
Handling and control: The LiveWire motorcycle chassis is designed to deliver agile handling for confident control on urban streets and a thrilling ride on curving backroads. The H-D Revelation powertrain sits low in the motorcycle to lower the center of gravity and help the motorcycle handle well at all speeds and make it easier to balance when stopped. The motorcycle also features advanced technology including standard cornering-enhanced Anti-lock Braking System and Traction Control. The systems are fully electronic and utilize the latest inertial measurement unit and ABS sensor technology.
Distinctive Harley-Davidson sound, minimal vibration: The H-D Revelation electric powertrain produces minimal vibration, heat, and noise, all of which enhance rider comfort. The LiveWire model is designed to produce a new signature Harley-Davidson sound as it accelerates and gains speed. This new futuristic sound represents the smooth, electric power of the LiveWire motorcycle.

Edcouch is located at the intersection of Hwy 107 and FM-1015. Although in use as ranch land, it was only sparsely settled prior to the 1900s.
During the early 1900s, land speculators began to buy up the land that was to become the Delta Area of the Lower Rio Grande Valley of Texas. People from the northern part of the United States were invited to visit the area, and representatives of the land companies sold property to anyone who had the money to buy.
People from all parts of the nation began moving south. Mercedes, Donna, and Edinburg were small towns then, and the area now known as the Delta Area was, for the most part, unsettled. Weslaco was a newer town, developed by the land company from which it derived its name.
Among the first to settle the Delta area was R.R. Hill, who built a store on what is now known as FM-1015 and Mile 16-N, south of the current location of Edcouch. Not wanting to send his children 15 miles to Edinburg, Mr. Adolph Carlson donated a couple of acres of land at the corner of Mile 4-W and Mile 17-N for the purpose of building a school. Located at the current location of the Edcouch-Elsa High School, the Carlson School soon became a community center.
Realizing that the railroad would be coming through the area, land promoters began lobbying for it to run through their property. Mr. Ed Couch, a Weslaco land promoter and banker, owned property north of Elsa on Mile 17-N. Hoping for the railroad to come to his property, he secured a right of way. Not to be outdone, Mr. William George worked to influence the railroad to go through his property north of Mile 16-N, the location of the new town of Elsa.
Realizing that Mr. George was proving to have more influence in this matter, Mr. Couch made plans to build a town 2 miles east of Elsa, on property which he secured. The town of Edcouch was born. A Mr. Lackland opened a section of town east of what is now known as FM-1015, and began selling only to Latin Americans.
Within a year, Edcouch had 2 feedstores, a box factory, 2 ice plants, 2 lumber yards, 11 packing sheds, a theater, a furniture store, a funeral parlor, a variety store, 3 grocery stores, a real estate office, a telephone exchange, post office, bank, community center, jail, drugstore, cafe, barbershop, and even its own newspaper -- the Edcouch Enterprise.
It was much bigger then than it is now. Over the years, hurricanes and fires have destroyed many of its businesses, its once bustling down town has deteriorated, at least half of its remaining buildings vacant. The railroad ceased operations a few years ago and the tracks themselves were removed in 2000. It is today a low-income bedroom community with a population of under 3,000.
There is hope. With tremendous growth throughout the Lower Rio Grande Valley, we are seeing activity in the Edcouch area. New houses, apartment buildings, and even a few small businesses have emerged to fill the gaps between Edcouch and La Villa to its east, and Elsa to its west. There is room for additional growth to the north and south, although we�ve seen little of it. While it is doubtful that Edcouch will regain the industry and vigor it enjoyed in the 1920s and 1930s, there is little doubt that it will surpass its earlier population counts. The estimated population of Edcouch as of January 1, 2002 was 3,604.
