3.Weed Thrasher
The weed thrasher harmonizes weed cutters and supplies you with better performance than to apply nylon connection. It is compatible with virtually all models of clippers. It comes in as your pack of a mounting component combined with 12 blades. The vantage it supplies over others is that will the blades don't get hold of twisted or maybe get crammed together. This can possibly be frustrating, infuriating and maybe even time wasting. With some of the weed thrasher, trimming typically is fast and / or it has always been fun.
4.Aquasonic Brush N Spray
This cream comes over pack of brush, start flossing and fluid jet.

5.Simple toilet seat holder
A fantastic of of us like our inventor with this treatment have hang ups with very own toilet automobile as it won't specifically stay . The developer just came up now with a elementary solution. She or he invented usually the simple plastic toilet spot holder. The actual product will be able to be entirely on the tank furthermore the similar part will hold the particular toilet bench in arrange. Once you are attained in the specific toilet, you can turn the journey away and the seat in a car will let go of down over to the bowl.

6.Fan saw blade cleaner
One family home appliance where it gets dusty very in general is the entire fan. However, cleaning which it is not such a problem but nevertheless having spread all over the own home is the real variable. This simple fan blade cleaner solves the problem. It can be a sack-like product that the majority of is purely big ample amounts to work with the sharp edge of any fan. Each and every you have to enjoy is which will slip the house on just about every single of some sort of blades as if you are being seen wearing a parts of sponge for currently the blade. As soon as that, customers can remove it. Getting this done would produce captured almost the dirt and grime on often the blade. Getting this done leaves blade clean with out having dropping any dust forward the dance floor.
In conclusion, there may very well be many a good deal inventions separately from of these few. In fact most of the ones mentioned above have been randomly selected. One thing that should be common one of the these innovations is the fact that they are actually all simple inventions offer vast solution. Indeed, innovation and after that creativity have no maximum.

Thieves caught on camera trying to steal ... camera
Picture this: A hammer-wielding man pries a security camera from the side of a Modesto law office.
It takes him a couple of minutes. And all the while, the camera is rolling, perfectly capturing his grimacing face as he works.
It even shows him nearly falling off a large garbage container that he and an accomplice placed under the camera so he could reach it. At one point, even the accomplice looks directly into the camera.
After some wild swings of a hammer, which still has the bar code sticker attached, the man finally pries it loose, but the camera keeps recording while on the ground before it shuts off.
"I think it's just moronic," said Tom Nelson, the law firm's legal assistant. "We've got pretty good proof they did it."
While Nelson takes the incident with good humor, the theft is a hefty loss — about $1,000 to replace the camera and install a new one at the McHenry Avenue office.
Police say it's not uncommon for the cameras purchased to deter crime at Modesto businesses to become the targets of theft. The steep price for such equipment can be alluring for a perpetrator to make some quick cash — from $100 to $1,500.
Some think they can hide evidence of another crime by taking the camera hardware.
Mark Pino with I Spy Vision in Manteca said he's helped catch thieves who have smashed into area businesses and broken the camera — forgetting they haven't done away with the footage.
"We have the data saved off-site," Pino said, laughing. "We still catch them."
Pino said a variety of tools have come on the market to better protect the expensive cameras, from screws with unique grooves to motion sensors that set off lights and sirens if someone gets too close.
Sgt. Rick Armendariz said Modesto police haven't yet made any arrests in the McHenry Avenue case but said he couldn't ask for better evidence.

We've been fortunate enough, during our time here in New York, to see the Shea Stadium crowd riled up a few times, including our favorite, John Rocker's return to Shea for the first time, in June 2000, since his infamous 7 train remarks. (As was typical at the time, the crowd booed him lustily, and he proceeded to throw a scoreless inning.) But we had anticipated that this weekend, when Barry Bonds came to Shea, would be the loudest of all. We actually feared for Bonds' safety, a rare occurrence.
But we don't feel that way anymore. Perhaps if Bonds had not finally limped past Babe Ruth, it would be different, but for now, there's a lack of palpable buzz about Bonds' trip to Shea Stadium tonight. Sure, the tabloids are trying to stoke the flames, but we're not sure even the rabid New York fans have it in them to get too crazy about Bonds anymore. (We'll be at the game tomorrow, but we're not really the booing type. We're more the "quietly keep score" type. Nerd.) The Bonds business seems over now, no stomach for outrage, no fever for fury. Perhaps this is for the best. It's tough to be too fired up to razz a guy with a walker.

King Henry Vii and the Reformation
PRESENTED, ROBERT BARNETT Ph.D.
For many years leading up to the reign of King Henry VIII, zealous souls were searching more than ever for a meaningful faith-based life for themselves and all of society. The people of England were becoming more and more confused about what the Church actually taught and were developing skeptical feelings towards the spiritual and physical power used and displayed by the clergy.[1] These feelings of the English people were reaching an all time high around the time that Henry VIII had succeeded his father's throne in 1509.[2] King Henry VIII had mostly selfish and prideful incentives to separate from the Roman Catholic Church. He had no religious intent in mind, but little did he know that he would contribute to the rise of the Protestant Reformation and a long-term religious change in England that would eventually spread to the rest of the world.[3]
The dissatisfaction with the corruption of the Church and hunger for change led to the ideas of Christian humanism and the influence of Greek learning. This idea portrayed an order of peace, justice, and humanity that could be taught and advanced through education.[4] The humanist with the greatest influence of the time was Erasmus of Rotterdam who favored simple biblical piety founded on textual scholarship and study of the Greek New Testament over scholasticism and elaborate ritualism.[5] Erasmus believed in studying and understanding the scriptures for oneself and wanted to reveal the extreme hypocrisies of the Church. Erasmus' radical writings and teachings began to spread, and soon after the writings and teachings of Thomas More and Martin Luther arose. More wrote the book Utopia which described an idealized society that lived in an uncorrupted world in perfect accordance with the principles of natural virtue.[6] This was a completely unrealistic idea, but it still gave hope to the people for a reform and a better society. Around 1517, Martin Luther created a real reaction and uproar from the people as his ideas rapidly spread against the practices and underlying rationale of the Church.[7] This created an uprising and following of Luther's teachings as his ideas and books quickly spread throughout England. Luther's ground breaking concepts encouraged "new learning" and it soon took hold on the University of Cambridge.[8] When word of the vastness of Luther's teachings and all of the new ideas of change and reform against the church reached King Henry the VIII, he was livid. In 1521, he excommunicated Luther and ordered all Christian princes to "suppress his errors" that Luther and others had spread.[9] Sermons were preached all across Europe denouncing Luther and many of his books were burned. King Henry went as far as to write an essay opposing Luther and his views on the Eucharist and the pope awarded him with the great title "Defender of the Faith."[10] Even though King Henry tried his best to stop Luther and his ideas, Luther soon earned his voice in Germany and hundreds of his books and pamphlets poured back into England with even more criticisms of the Church's practices and leaders.[11] Soon many revolts broke out between 1524 and 1526 dubbed the Peasants' War, and the Protestant Reformation was flooding in.[12] This was the start to a violent political, spiritual, and social struggle between the advocates and the enemies of change in England that lasted for many years. English men and women began to think of themselves as "Catholic" or "Protestant" and separated themselves accordingly.[13] Catholics and evangelicals protested and condemned each other from the pulpit and through printed writings.[14] Change was definitely in the air. In the midst of all of the uprisings...

Cuba is mourning as its revolutionary leader Fidel Castro dies late on Friday. Cuban dictator Fidel Castro was born near Birán, Cuba, in 1926. Beginning in 1958 Castro and his forces began a campaign of guerrilla warfare to successfully overthrow Cuban dictator , and Castro became the country's new leader for the next 50 years.
His communist domestic policies and military and economic relations with the Soviet Union led to strained relations with the United States that culminated in the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis. He was also responsible for fomenting communist revolutions in other countries around the world. Under Castro, improvements were made to health care and education, while civil liberties were severely eroded. However, the 1991 collapse of communism in the Soviet Union and its negative impact on Cuba's economy led Castro to relax some restrictions over time. Amidst failing health, in 2008 Fidel Castro officially handed over power to his brother Raúl Castro, but still wielded some political influence in Cuba and abroad. Fidel Castro died on November 25, 2016 at the age of 90.
Interesting Facts about Fidel Castro:
- He is known for his long beard.
- He almost always appears in public in green military fatigues. Hundreds of thousands of Cubans have fled under Castro's government. Many of them live in Florida.
- Castro's Cuba relied heavily on aide from the Soviet Union.When the Soviet Union collapsed in 1991, the country suffered as it tried to survive on its own.
- He was seen for years smoking cigars, but he quit in 1985 for health reasons.
- He is famous for his long speeches. He once gave a speech that lasted for over 7 hours!

This article titled "Christian Louboutin faces setback in fight to trademark red sole" was written by Julia Kollewe, for The Guardian on Tuesday 6th February 2018 17.43 UTC
French shoemaker Christian Louboutin, famous for his stiletto heels, has suffered a severe setback in his battle to protect the trademark red sole.
The fashion designer, whose shoes start at £500 for a classic black court and are a favourite with celebrities such as Kate Winslet, Victoria Beckham and Margot Robbie, has been in court trying to protect the signature red colour of the sole of his shoes – a look that dates back to 1992, when Louboutin painted a sole red with nail varnish borrowed from an assistant.
On Tuesday, the European Court of Justice's advocate general Maciej Szpunar said the combination of a colour and a shape may be refused trademark protection. The ECJ will now issue a ruling.
The French designer went to court in the Netherlands to prevent the Dutch high street shoe chain VanHaren from selling its own red-soled shoes, in a range endorsed by actor Halle Berry. VanHaren argued the existing Louboutin trademark was invalid.
The case was referred to the ECJ in 2014.
Sanjay Kapur, partner and trade mark attorney at intellectual property firm Potter Clarkson LLP, said: "If the ECJ follow the advocate general's opinion, then this could mean that Louboutin would not be able to stop its competitors, including haute couture fashion houses, from offering shoes with red soles. The red sole could therefore become ubiquitous, which would seriously reduce the cachet associated with the Louboutin brand."
Elaine O'Hare of law firm Stevens & Bolton said the case would be of "great interest" to other luxury fashion brands seeking to protect their own signature shapes or colours.

A deck is the perfect place to travel when the weather is rather poor and the vessel you boarded is making you feel more nauseous than comfortable. You get to look straight at either absolutely nothing, or possibly the island you're headed to, or even one you'll be passing by, on the horizon; you start "moving" along with the vessel and focusing away just actually helps. Other than that, decks are either too hot during summer days, cold during other days, and nights, and really only might serve you when looking for a place to smoke.
Travelling in a lounge can be rather sociable as you'll be sitting in a comfortable chair, or an airplane type seat if you opted for one, amidst people that are headed to the same destination as you. A cup of coffee or a snack will always be within short reach since there usually is a cafe for every lounge at most ferries that operate in Greece. In case you reserve a seat at a private lounge you'll probably enjoy all that in a more quite environment. Plus you'll always be able to "hit the deck" if you feel the need to breath some fresh air rich in the smell of the Greek seas.
But what if your trip is lasting more than 3 or 4 hours? A trip to the Dodecanese or the northern Aegean islands, for example, could last 10 or more hours Or you landed in Athens early in the morning after a sleepless night flight and headed straight to the port to board a ferry to the islands? Wouldn't a serene cabin with comfortable beds offer the rest you need to seize you holiday from the moment you set foot on your destination? It would definitely be way more friendly to your pets than a kennel.
There are no more than a couple of facts that you know when it comes to cabins. They are either internal, which practically means they have no window with a view outside or external, which, unlike internal cabins do have windows that offer you a view to the sea, or the ports. Other than this basic difference, their name suggests the number of beds they offer, e.g. 2-berth, 3-berth etc and you can either book a whole cabin a just a single bed in the cabin. Bear in mind that some companies allow you to book a larger cabin e.g. 4-berth for 3 people and some don't so it would be wise to book a cabin early.
Other than that, there are luxury cabins, which always have windows with a view outside and are larger than regular cabins, just like their beds. Last but not least, pure cabins, which feature a specially designed air and surface purification system that makes them ideal for passengers with asthma, or certain allergies or infants, who should always be in a protected environment.
Another very important detail, is that cabins aren't always much more expensive than regular economy seats, especially for larger groups of passengers. Even without certain active offers, cabins might make quite a compelling option in terms of price as well and we'll provide a couple of examples to support that.
Booking a round trip for 4 people, from Piraeus to Naxos, with a ferry that leaves at 7.30 in the morning, possibly right after that night flight we discussed, would cost 324€ in case you opted for the comfy airplane type seat tickets, which cost 40.50€ each. However, a 4-berth cabin, which would definitely guarantee that you'd enjoy a 5-hour sleep before you reach your destination would cost 360€, or 36€ more, which could be the money you'll be saving by sleeping instead of having a proper meal on board!
If you think that cabins always cost more, even if it's as low as 10% more you are wrong. There are cases where a cabin could cost less than economy tickets. Travelling to Rodos from Piraeus by Ferry takes approximately 15 hours and that's a rather long trip, so it would make sense to book a cabin, wouldn't it? Well, the good news is that, with the special blue star ferries discount for 4-berth cabins, a 4-member family, or 4 friends would be able to book a standard internal 4-berth cabin which would cost 59.5€ per person. That is 3.5€ less than the economy ticket which costs 63€ per person. The discounted price would be 238€ instead of the 308€ initial price or the 252€ that would be the total price for economy tickets. In case you are wondering, the price for a 4-berth cabin with view would be 264€, or, roughly, a fifth of a an economy ticket more.
Our advice to you for booking ferry ticket to the Greek islands is to always check all options for your trip, since a special ferry cabin offer could actually make it much more comfortable for a little more, or even less money.

I'll be teaching Algebra 1 & an integrated Algebra 2 course and I know that I want to use INBs in both of them. Go big or go home. The issue I'm facing currently is that interactive notebooks, in my opinion, have a lot of little details. I think these little details are important though to build a strong foundation for not only me, but for my students. Materials I know I want my students to have: – Composition Notebook (papers won't fall out and they will fit in a gallon sized baggy – idea courtesy of @mgolding) – I'm thinking they will need 2 for the entire year – is this reasonable? – Pencils/Erasers -Tape (I don't want to deal with the hassle of glue poop) – Colored pencils – At least 1 highlighter *I will provide a class set of scissors. Mrs. Hester's Classroom : Top 5 Things I LOVE About Interactive Math Notebooks: #1-2. Interactive Math Journals. Oh my goodness - it's FINALLY done!
When I dream about my summer, I'll be dreaming about my math journals .... If you've been following my blog and my "Math Journal Sundays" posts, you already know how much I enjoyed creating interactive math journal activities with my students - hands-down, the best addition to my math program last year. I've had a lot of questions about my math journals over the last year, and I've tried to answer most of them. (Sidenote: all the ideas are still available on my blog.
For some reason, when I had my blog redesigned this summer, my "see older posts" button stopped working, which I know makes it difficult to scroll through all the posts. The $1 Textbook — Infinite Sums. Enter notebooks.
I started using them when I switched to Standards Based Grading in January 2011. Part of the system is the kids need to track their progress or it doesn't really work. When I implemented the system, I had the students all get notebooks to use for the tracking section. The problem was that was about all I was requiring them to do with the notebook. Teaching Statistics: Keeping Track of SBG via your INB :) This year was my first year using Interactive Notebooks (INBs) in my math classes.
This year was a pretty rough year overall, but the INBs were one really bright spot in my year. I can't pinpoint why it was a rough year - I mean, I didn't have any major life occurances, but for whatever reason, I just never really meshed with a lot of my students this year. As a result, I was 95% sure that I was going to skip my yearly ritual of asking students for feedback and just close the book on this year and be done. However, at the last minute, I decided against this plan and the student responses actually shocked me. They were overwhelmingly positive, particulary about the notebook.
There were some suggestions for how to improve the notebook, and one of them had to do with Standards Based Grading.

Charity Blake survived a nightmare.
Now she is one.
Punk-rock runaway Charity Blake becomes a Harpy at night—a treacherous mythical monster who preys upon men just like the ones who abused her. Struggling through an endless stream of crappy coffee shop jobs, revolted stares, and self-isolation during the day, Charity longs to turn into the beast at night. Doing the right thing in all the wrong ways suits her.
But a Harpy's life belongs in Hell—the gruesome Wood of Suicides, where the Harpy queen offers Charity just what she's looking for: a home where she can reign supreme and leave behind the agony of her past. The choice to stay in Hell would be easy, were it not for a rock-and-roll neighbor who loves her for the woman she is—even when he discovers the creature she becomes—and unexpected new friends with their own deranged pasts and desires who see Charity as their savior. But salvation isn't in the cards for Charity. Not when her friends see through her vicious attitude and fall in love with her power as the Harpy.
Struggling between the life of an injured outcast and the grizzly champion of a blood-red hellscape, Charity must thwart her friends' craving for her power enough to fear her corruption—and determine once and for all where her salvation lies: in eternal revenge or mortal love.

I was approached to re-design the Latin American Travel Association website. As a major player in the international tourism industry, the website had to express the organisation's professionalism, trustworthiness and authority, whilst also conveying the vibrant diversity of Latin America.
The website caters for two main audiences - the first, members of the public who are looking for information about a destination and travel companies in Latin America, the second, travel companies who host information on the site. The homepage separates these two journeys clearly, allowing for quick access to the key areas of the site.
I opted for a simplistic interface design, allowing the photography to radiate the character and 'feeling' of the region. Making use of the bold, condensed typeface "Oswald" for headings paired with the clarity and readability of "Open Sans" for body copy, I was able to create a refined, modern typographical aesthetic.
The finished site is mobile responsive so now LATA's users can access the website wherever they are.
Design system
To ensure development was as quick and efficient as possible, I created a simple design system utilising consistent styling patterns throughout the interface that could be re-used as components and exported to Zeplin for effective developer hand off.
If you'd like to discuss working together or just have a question for me, please get in touch:email@example.com

Okay so this has been long overdue… Honestly I should have made a post like 2 years ago around when we first opened up, but of course I got caught up in the chaotic storm that is my business and life, coaching Parkour. Since I've begun getting a handle on doing this whole business thing I figured I would make our first blog post.
I wanted to dedicate this post to our image, aka our logo and our name and how that evolved for us over the past 8 years Michael and I have been coaching Parkour. As some of you may know, our original programming was called Parkour Nakusp, which was started by a group of youth in Nakusp, B.C. acting as a youth drug and alcohol outreach program. You can see an image of it below.
The Image was designed by a local Nakusp Secondary School student who was happy to make the logo as he enjoyed group and activity. It should be noted that at this time I had just started practicing parkour and became a youth leader as a part of the group. The logo its-self represent how Parkour was a very creative and movement-oriented activity that we were all proud to be doing! This was how the logo would be for the first 4 years of the programming. When I came back from University, Michael and I had decided that Parkour Nakusp could be more than a program, and it could become a self-sufficient, self-sustaining organization.
After almost a half a year of discussion, we decided on a new logo and name, we referred to ourselves as Kootenay Parkour & Development, replaced our old logo with one that my now Fiancè and I had designed together.
We went with the idea of a Smiling eagle decorated with the medicine wheel colours. The eagle represented the thought that in Parkour we are learning to fly and changing our vision to that of and eagle that looks above, seeing all opportunities around it. We thought that an eagles vision would also be similar to the idea of parkour vision (which is something many practitioners gain while practicing this activity). As for the name we decided that If we stated that we taught Parkour in the Kootenays that it would be clear in the name. As we emphasize using experiential education in our coaching, we felt stating development would indicate that you are getting more than just physical development from this practice. It did seem to fit for us for quite some time, we stuck with this name and logo for 2 year as we provided Parkour workshops and classes throughout the Kootenays.
It was good but as we began to shift into an idea of opening a single gym space we began to realize that we had to have a simpler design, and a name that had even greater meaning to ourselves. It was a big decision for us but in the end, we agreed that we needed a new name for the new age our organization (now business) would be known and recognized as. That brings us to our current image & name:
I spent about a month designing and developing this logo because I knew how important it would be to the future of our organization, as you can see it is simply a footprint surrounded by a Medicine Wheel, but each of those aspects are extremely important to our organization. The foot represents multiple aspects, moving forward but being able to see the steps you had taken before, a foot being an important part of our body for moving, and most importantly taking the first step in Parkour. As for the Medicine Wheel, we both agreed that when our participants are training in our classes, they develop their Spirit, Emotions, Body, and Mind, 4 aspects of the Medicine Wheel that must be continually practiced and develop to not only become a strong athlete, but a stronger person as well.
Then there's our name, Red Path Movement, which we decided upon based on the concept of the Red Road, which is a modern term inspired by teachings found in indigenous American cultures. The Red Road is considered a narrow and difficult path, one filled with many obstacles and challenges, but it is the good path that provides truths and understanding about the world around us. Our organization always seeks and walks this path, we move along it. Michael and I honestly believe that our organization, using Parkour as a catalyst, can guide people along a red road to a more satisfying life lived.
Note from the author:
I wanted to thank you for taking the time to read my first blog post on the website. It was difficult to find a topic to write on but this is something that has a lot of meaning to me and I wanted to share a bit about our reasons behind our logo and how we've developed it as our organization matured. If you see any grammar or spelling issues, leave a comment and let me know 🙂 I'm very new to blogging so I appreciate the help!

Last month, KGI's superb Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo (who had the best iPhone X leak of the year back in February) predicted that Apple would ship 2 million to 4 million units of the Apple iPhone X during the third quarter.
Supply constraint is the reason behind the company not achieving the balance.
The analyst also added that Apple's move to delay the iPhone X pre-order and shipping date is likely because the company wants to prevent the cannibalization of the iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus sales. We revise down our forecast for 2017F iPhone X shipments from 45-50 million to around 40 million units, but we therefore revise up our 2018 iPhone X shipment estimate to 80-90 million units. This, of course, shouldn't come as too much of a surprise, especially given that pre-orders for the device won't even open up until October 27, with deliveries expected to begin on or around November 3rd.
Many iPhone 8 models were still in stock for its September 22 launch as of Friday afternoon, while the hottest 8 Plus models were only delayed by 1 to 2 weeks.
The report shows neither KGI nor other Apple investors seem to be anxious that the lack of a gold iPhone X option at launch will impact on the number of iPhone shipments.
Rather than having one shiny new toy to focus their attention on, shoppers are now split between ordering the iPhone 8 and waiting to hear feedback on the iPhone X once it launches in November.
The new iPhone X will be available in 64GB and 256GB storage capacities, priced from $999 upwards. The higher-end variant, on the other hand, will cost $1,149 in the United States and Rs 1,02,000 in India.

A Revolutionary Tool To Analyze Multiple-TimeFrames
Developed to access intra-bar data from a higher time frame chart and make the signals accessible from any timeframe chart.
Accurate multi-timeframe signals are now possible in real-time and historically. You no longer need to wait for "bar close" before getting a signal on a smaller timeframe. The Replicator works with any continuous type of indicator and is compatible with SharkIndicators BlackBird & BloodHound.
Power Features
Works With:
Included in this package:
You're focusing on a 30-minute chart. You've applied all of the tools and metrics you need to analyze the data on this chart.
You've got it dialed in, but you know you're missing some valuable data to give you that edge.
You have to go deeper. So you decide to look at a 5-minute chart.
The moment you switch over, you start getting inaccurate results.
Your bars and ticks are behind.
The readings are delayed.
As a result, when you access signals, they have out-of-sync closing prices.
If you were to trade using this data, you'd lose.
It's as simple as that.
Backtesting is nearly impossible because it throws inaccurate results. You're constantly chasing the right range.
You'd have to run live all the time to be accurate but then you'd miss the important signals that give you the edge in trading!
In the end, you pull your hair out because of all of the time AND money you've wasted.
And not to mention, money you potentially MISSED out on.
Money that could have changed your life.
We developed Replicator to solve this problem.
It allows you to copy ANY Indicator from one chart to the next.
This has never been easier!
It doesn't matter what time-frames you are using, all of your indicators can be copied.
You can even copy complex, custom 3rd party indicators with tons of plots!
It's what makes this so incredibly powerful.
In theory, this type of processing should cause your computer to slow down because of how heavy it is.
But in fact, Replicator is the opposite.
With all of the complicated systems Replicator runs, it does it all at a super low CPU-load.
No more annoying lag and crashes from something that usually taxes your computer.
This allows you to backtest complex systems in <10% of the time, so you can focus on one thing:
Replicator is THE tool to get you accurate results in a fraction of the time.
When it comes to learning how to trade, the TTP methodology is unparalleled in my travels thus far and I consider it my Holy Grail of sorts. Dan Roe is an expert at employing low risk and high reward entries over and over again. This is the same when it comes to his multi-time frame analysis utilizing Elliott Wave theory with Fibonacci analysis and fine tuning these entries with Market Geometry and Volume analysis. Probably one of the biggest misgivings I was ever told by one of my previous mentors, was that volume is irrelevant. IMHO volume is one of the most important aspects for finding the ends of moves or support for further moves in a direction and Dan is an expert at this endeavor. If you're starting your learning journey here, you have just shaved years off your learning curve. Top notch mentor along with a great group of students/traders. I could write a Fitzgerald novel on this place, but attempting to make it short and sweet. 🙂
Tim Ruth
Daniel Roe is the real deal. He utilizes a low risk high reward multi-time frame methodology. His software is state of the art employing market geometry, volume analysis, and elliott wave theory to multiple time frames. His methodology and software may take several months to learn but once learned you will understand how the market really works. I have been in a number of trading rooms and Dan's method and software is the best I have ever seen. Dan devotes an enormous amount of time to perfecting his craft and has spent a lot of his own personal funds developing his software and providing updates to members at no cost. He is very generous that way and also provides weekly training webinars to help you lean how to use his software. He is the nicest guy and his room is relaxing and fun but also serious when it comes to trading. He may trade only 1 to 3 times a day but picks the areas that can make the most profit with the least amount of risk. Dan is one of the only traders that I know of that has traded a live account and been profitable to the tune of over 500% in 9 months. My trading and understanding of the markets has significantly improved but I had to unlearn all the bad ways I originally learned to trade before I could become a better trader using Dan's method. If you want to learn a method that really works than I recommend you learn Dan's method of trading. Bob Kost

Hola Traders, solo quería expresar mi gratitud a Daniel Roe , CEO y alma de Trade-the-Plan por su constante trabajo para mejorar nuestras operaciones. Recomiendo su método y las extremadamente útiles herramientas que él y su equipo están desarrollando. Aunque no tengo mucho tiempo para interactuar en el grupo de trading de TTP, aprendo mucho cada minuto que paso con ellos. Conocí a Daniel cuando estaba ofreciendo sus servicios desarrollando estrategias en BooldHound, él es muy bueno en eso. Pero a partir de ahí continué en contacto hasta que comenzó su propia empresa, para demostrar que realmente valía la pena su método de Trading. Él la está mejorando constantemente, y eso es algo bueno. Ningún método es válido si no se renueva constantemente, el Trading es algo vivo, cambiando las reglas constantemente, si mantenemos nuestro método vivo, nos mantendremos en el objetivo. Eso es exactamente lo que está haciendo TTP. Dicho esto, debo remarcar que las herramientas de TTP son realmente fantásticas para cualquier tipo de método en el análisis técnico. De seguro, recomiendo fervientemente echarle un vistazo.
Pep Bosch
I have been with Trade the Plan for almost a year and Daniel Roe has helped me with my quest to be a successful trader. His insights into market geometry and his tools are amazing! A must own.
Richard Aragon
The first 2 years of my trading career was like most traders starting out. It was costly and did not seam logical with what was being taught. Green light / Red light trading systems was not the path I was looking to take in my trading. And when a question was asked about the system and why to take a trade, you would not get a straight answer. After giving away close to $10K I was still searching for a more common sense approach to trading. After doing more research I found the logical answer in Market Geometry and Volume Analysis. It was at this point I came across videos from Daniel Roe, and I knew then my search was over. A fellow trader knew Dan and after a couple of conversations with Dan, I was sure he was the man I wanted to learn from. That was over 4 years ago when TTP was just getting started.
Dan's tools that he has developed are second to none, as they should be with the amount of time that he has spent refining them. And while the tools are certainly an important addition to the TTP trading method, the most important of all is Dan himself. Dan's approach to trading has a great track record that has been around since the early 1920's, if I remember correctly. Any trader can benefit from TTP.
I'm proud to be a part of the TTP family and look forward to trading in the trade room every day.
Bobby Sinks
A review of Trade the Plan (TTP). I've been using Daniel Roe's (TTP) software for Ninjatrader since he first released it back June 2015. It's been an exciting journey to date. I have witnessed a man who is dedicated to improve on his software, along with helping himself and many traders become better traders. Trading is not easy, and Daniel Roe is working tirelessly help others which is very rare in this industry. Trade The Plan software – Volume Analysis, Divergences Pro, Market Geometry tools, etc along with Basic Elliott wave patterns, are what Dan uses to help define low risk high reward trade setups. Do all setups work, no, and no system / method is perfect, It will take time to learn everything and seem very daunting to start with, but it's much better than anything else I've seen / used. In the nightly trading room Dan along with other members help explain trade setups, the room is not a trade calling service, but room to help you learn the methods used and better learn the software. Daniel Roe trades a live account NOT a sim account like many other trading rooms, you get to see and hear all the real emotions that go with trading live. I look forward to being involved with Dan and all people with Trade the Plan as it's a excellent group of people to be around and I haven't seen anything else that comes close. In the interests of full disclosure, I do speak in the trading room as a panellist on some occasions, however all the opinions here are my own , nobody is paying for this review or is being reviewed before being posted.
Chris Eves
Trade The Plan is what a professional trader, trainer and indicator designer should be. They are second to none with their product support and the updates just make great indicators even better. At present I only have the Relative Volume and the ToolBar Pro but I plan to add more as my trading allows. No one tries harder then Daniel to make sure every possible advantage is built into their indicators so you can be successful at this very difficult endeavour. You can't drive a nail without a hammer, a screwdriver or pliers won't do it. Make sure you get the right tools to trade with also. JW
James Wilkins
I have been a Master Suite Ultimate owner for over a year now and it is worth every penny. Dan's passion and dedication to develop the tools and methodology has been next to none. I truly feel fortunate to be part of this organization.

Mindfulness Project, John Muir Elementary School - Madison, WI
Children in the United States do not meet USDA guidelines for a healthy diet and are receiving home-cooked meals less frequently than in the past. The goal of the program is to increase the children's exposure to and acceptance of healthy foods while teaching them food preparation techniques. Lessons vary from hand hygiene to basic cooking techniques and preparing healthy snacks. School-based nutrition lesson plans will be developed and led by Registered Dieticians, and will focus efforts on children identified by their teachers as students who would most benefit from nutrition education.

2013 Grant recipients
Wisconsin Winters: Snowshoe It! - Sarah Shaw, Fitchburg, WI
This curriculum will combat winter inactivity of VAIS students by teaching them to how to snowshoe. Students will be able to identify parts of a snowshoe, how to put them on and take them off, and will learn the proper techniques of snowshoeing. This is important be- cause as a small school, VAIS has limited access to large indoor spaces and many physical activities cannot be done in a small space. Most physical activities are hard to do year round in snow and ice. Outside winter activities often call for lots of equipment, access to facilities, or appropriate locations to participate (hockey, ice-skating, skiing, and sledding). This program will provide one size fits all snowshoes for both students and staff to use to combat the winter blues, grumpy kids, and lower attention spans associated with less physical activity.
A Healthy Connection for a Healthier Community - Julie Esser, Mt. Horeb, WI
This program, A Healthy Connection for a Healthier Community, will provide a link between Mount Horeb Area School District (MHASD) and Miller and Sons Supermarket to increase awareness and consumption of fruits and vegetables by students and the community. This is important since the majority of Dane County adults, as well as Mount Horeb 7th-12th grade youth, eat less than the recommended 5 servings of fruits and vegetables daily. This pro- gram will also enhance the current school garden and provide a connection to the school breakfast and lunch programs.
Wisconsin Adolescent Health Care Communication Program - Amy Olejniczak, Madison, WI
The Wisconsin Adolescent Health Care Communication Program is designed to help bridge the communication gap between health care providers and their teenage patients through em- powering and educational workshops given by youth for both youth and providers. Educating and counseling teens is foundational to sexual health care, yet less than 52% of teens have ever discussed their sexual history with a provider and less than a third have discussed birth control, STI testing, proper condom use. Many communication barriers and social stigma exist that interfere with the ability of providers and teens to talk about sexual health. In fact, it has been found that teens are the population at most risk for failed doctor patient relation- ships. Without proper training, health care providers are commonly not able to identify their teenage patients' risk factors or to effectively counsel them after recognizing a problem. Thus, this innovative, teen-delivered educational program targets barriers that interfere with the ability of providers and teens to talk about sexual health, and works to systematically improve communication and increase quality of care through two educational work- shops: "Keeping it Real With Your Parents" and "Keeping it Real With Your Doctor"
Introduction to Life Saving Skills: First Aid, CPR, AED - William Chambers, Oregon, WI
This program is designed to provide classes in life saving skills to high school seniors at Black- hawk High School. The skills learned in this project will prepare students and staff to respond to life threatening illnesses or injuries. Currently, financial constraints within the school district's budget only allow for a select number of seniors to take an optional class in First Aid, CPR, or AED. With this grant, the lifesaving and emergency medical class will be included as a requirement for all graduating seniors. With the nearest hospital 20 miles away from Black- hawk High School, these skills that students learn in assessing and navigating an emergency medical situation will help improve the safety of Blackhawk's students, staff, and families.
2012 Grant Recipients
Empower! - Laura Killingsworth and Kristin McGinley, Madison, WI
A project meant to bring college students into elementary schools to talk to young students about their health, Empower! received a grant to help bring the University of Wisconsin – Madison based student organization, Water Health Education for Life (WHEL) into Madison suburban schools. WHEL on the UW campus works to emphasize the importance of water, health and education at a local and global level, and this program is one of their crucial steps to bringing their ideals to the local community. The intentions of Empower! are introduce the above structures of health to children in after school programs in Lowell Elementary and Lindbergh Elementary between October and May of 2012. Currently, with cuts to funding surrounding all aspects of after-school programs, this grant will provide an opportunity to students that they would not otherwise receive, and WHEL has partnered with Madison School & Community Recreation (MSCR) in order to most effectively reach the students. The five-week program at each school will provide interactive educational experiences surrounding the lessons of nutrition, exercise, personal hygiene, personal safety and the environment. The final piece to the puzzle of this project is the involvement of the parents after each session through a worksheet brought home by the student to discuss what happened earlier that day in session. This inclusion of parents into the program further reaches out into the community and strengthens the aims of the project.
Project HeartMath - Sarah Reuter, Milwaukee, WI
With the increasing prevalence of technology in the classroom today, Project HeartMath is the perfect program to introduce to school children to assess their own stress levels and learn how to remedy them. The emWave Desktop is a scientifically validated heart-rate monitoring system that facilitates learning techniques to create an optimal state in which the heart, mind and emotions are operating in-sync. The Desktop displays heart rhythm patterns in real time to show the user when the above high-performance state is reached, called coherence. Student will learn and practice the Quick Coherence Technique using the HeartMath software, in order to improve their own self-regulation, decrease stress and increase positive outlook in numerous classroom situations. Through an eight-week program, students and staff at Patriqu DuSaint School will learn how to use the software, practice Quick Coherence Techniques, identify the sources of stress in the classroom, address and stop these emotional triggers, learn how to conserve emotional energy, acknowledge the power of compassion and self-kindness, transform anger at home, and learn how to transition HeartMath techniques into the classroom. The sustained practice of the Quick Coherence Technique will help decrease aggression related incidents in school, while increasing the student's ability to have positive social behaviors and increased learning in the classroom.

Improving the Communication Gap Surrounding Sexual Health in Rural Wisconsin - Amy Olejniczak, Madison, WI
A grant received by the Wisconsin Adolescent Health Care Communication Program is being applied to the program "Improving the Communication Gap Surrounding Sexual Health in Rural Wisconsin". The program targets health care providers and youth ages 14-19 in rural counties throughout Wisconsin. The goal of the program is to bridge the gap of communication between health care providers and youth about sexual health. Nearly half of all Wisconsin high schoolers are sexually active (45%) and only 61% used a condom during their last sexual encounter. Health care providers are a critical and reliable source of sexual health knowledge, however, surveys have shown that 52% of youth have not discussed their sexual history with their health provider despite wanting to. The program aims to bridge communication gap between youth and their health care providers through workshops. The workshops will empower teens to utilize their providers and teach health care providers how to effectively interact with their adolescent patients. After participation in the workshops, youth in rural Wisconsin will feel confident to take control of their own health and seek the knowledge they need to be their healthiest.
Healthy Eating… Good for Me, Good for the Earth - Michelle Denk, Mount Horeb, WI
The project "Healthy Eating… Good for Me, Good for the Earth" targets K-12 students in the Mount Horeb School District. The goal is to create an environmentally sound way to dispose of organic waste from the lunch program to educate students and improve the school gardens. This will be accomplished by introducing students to composting and separating waste in the lunch room. Students will then use composed fruit and vegetable scraps for worm bins and eventually school hoop houses and gardens. The addition of hoop houses and gardens will then increase the amount of fresh produce being grown in the school. A lesson will be given each month focusing on topic relevant to the program including "Measuring our Waste" and "How to Maximize Recycling Efforts" for a total of nine lessons. Outside of the lessons students will be directly participating in the recycling efforts.
Community Fitness - Joe Woodhouse, Cashton, WI
The grant was awarded Cashton High School to target high school PE students and community members who would like to try a fitness class without investing in equipment. The program will provide fitness classes that are available financially and within distance from community members. The grant will allow the high school to provide fitness equipment for PE classes for the next three years. This will also make equipment available to community members for fitness classes which will increase the number of participants by 10% over a year. The use of the equipment would be approximately two weeks a semester for high schoolers and four to 12 weeks for fitness classes. The addition of the equipment will increase the community's fitness activity and overall health.

DIY: Mosquito Repelent
I don't know about you, but I get eaten alive during these summer months. Especially with monsoon season here, it just brings out those pesky mosquitos that I absolutely loathe! I have to go inside during dusk because I'll end up with 4 or more bites that itch and drive me crazy for the next 2 weeks. I know I'm not alone. Especially all of you who are in the south or northeast – bless your souls because you're a special kind of people.
After getting absolutely fed up with those bugs, I decided that I need to make a mosquito repellent that I could put out on the porch to deter mosquitos so I could enjoy the great outdoors again!
Here's what you'll need:
1 mason jar
1-2 lime wedges
1-2 lemon wedges
A couple sprigs of rosemary
9-10 drops lemon eucalyptus oil
1 Floating tea candles
Put the lime, lemon, and rosemary in the mason jar. Add water to fill the jar leaving enough room at the top to put the candle in. Then drop your lemon eucalyptus oil and stir a bit. Place the candle on top and light it.
Enjoy the great outdoors once again!
Fall has an amazing way to be colorful and beautiful. The change of warm summer to cooler nights, warm campfires, s'mores, and pumpkin everything! I think this is just about my favorite season! I decided to spruce up the house for this years fall festivities and try and keep it as cheap as possible!
I don't know about you, but when summer hits – I just want to DIY everything. It must be something about the good weather and the hot air outside. I definitely turn into a home body in the hot Arizona sun and DIY my heart out. I had some old flour sack towels laying around and decided to jazz them up a bit to make them summery.
When it comes to an agenda, I have tried just about everything under the sun. I've tried online, small pocket ones from target, massive ones that have literally everything in it but none of them did everything that I needed them to. I decided to branch out and create my own bullet journal where I customize the pages and create my . After using a bullet journal, I don't think I'll ever be able to go back to a normal agenda.
Last week, I talked about a mosquito repellent but what if those darn bugs already attacked? Well, I created mosquito relief sticks that I carry everywhere and I can't tell you how helpful they are with reducing the redness, itch, and swelling. I made one small batch of it and it made enough relief sticks to last me for years and enough to pass out to my family and friends too!
I don't know about you, but I get eaten alive during these summer months. Especially with monsoon season here, it just brings out those pesky mosquitos that I absolutely loathe!

We have two fur babies that we absolutely adore, but it's hard to spoil your pups when you're on a tight budget. We usually get them one toy each for Christmas that lasts for the year. But when they're being good, you just need to have some biscuits on hand to spoil them with. Instead of buying $20 worth of dog treats, I decided that I would make my own dog treats!
When it comes to art, it get expensive. I figured it might be a fun experiment if I messed around with creating my own abstract art to hang around the house. I decided to create my own finger painting! Why not, right? I'm an adult and I still want to finger paint. Got a problem, come at me bro!
Ha. Just kidding. But seriously. This was such a fun little experiment and I'm pretty impressed with how it turned out. Very abstract and super fun to make.
I don't know about you, but I absolutely love white dishtowels. I usually purchase a package of flour sack towels because they're the cheapest. But sometimes you need something a little bit more than white in a kitchen to spice it up a bit! This Friday's blog post is about naturally dyeing fabric with materials that you have around the house – ultimately saving you loads of money because you're not buying the expensive hand towels at the store. Plus, those white flour sack towels have an uncanny knack for getting stains and turning grimy after a couple of uses. So, this is one way to cover up those pesky stains!
Home decor can add up really quickly, can't it? It's not something that you go and buy on a whim when you're trying to pay off debt. But, I was able to make a fun, budget friendly, wall hanging that I absolutely love and can't wait to share with you.
Guess what? It only cost me a whopping $2 to make two separate wall hangings. I went to Goodwill (which I frequent often) and I picked up two scans of yarn that was donated for $0.99 cents a piece. Me, being the crafting connoisseur that I am, couldn't let that deal pass me up. So, I pick them up in hopes that I would have a project come along. What do you know? This project did!
We all have those awful summer colds that seem to come out of nowhere and then suffocate us in the heat. I hope that you don't catch that summer cold bug – but if you do – let's be prepared.
You know, runny nose, congestion, sore throat all in the dead of summer. Yuck!
You could grab cold medicine or you could use all natural throat lozenges that will help aid you to feel better. I'm not going to say this is the cure for all colds, because I'd be lying. But, I'll tell you this will make you feel a little bit better.

Concerned for Elan's safety, Tarquin assigns Roy and Belkar to be the bard's new bodyguards. The General also gives the party an only mildly-evilly-sourced flying carpet to help speed them along their way.

- Elan ◀ ▶

- A Soldier of the Empire of Blood
Transcript Edit
- Panel 1, Page 1
Tarquin: Elan, before you go: I'm worried about your safety. Nale can be very dangerous.
Elan: Don't worry, Dad. I've beaten him twice!
Tarquin: Precisely. Recurring foes always get stronger with successive appearances.
- Panel 2, Page 1
Tarquin: I want to see Nale brought to justice as much as you do.
Tarquin: He's a destabilizing influence who knows too much.
Tarquin: And seeing how well you grew up, I can't help but feel a little responsible for how Nale turned out. Stopping him is as much my duty as yours.
- Panel 3, Page 1
Tarquin: Therefore, I'd like to send some personnel along with you. Bodyguards of a sort.
Elan: Uh, Dad, I don't think that's such a good idea.
Tarquin: No, really, I must insist. I even have specific candidates in mind.
- Panel 4, Page 1
Elan: Who?
Tarquin: Them.
Roy: Huh?
Belkar: Wha?
Mr. Scruffy: Mrrow?
- Panel 5, Page 1
Roy: We don't work for you yet, General.
Tarquin: Consider this an audition. Accompany my son on his mission to apprehend his brother.
- Panel 6, Page 1
Tarquin: If he comes back alive, I'll give you both permanent positions. How does that sound?
Belkar: Like you're getting us to work for free.
Tarquin: Yes, but think of the exposure.
- Panel 1, Page 2
Roy: Do I have the option of refusing at that time, if I dislike the terms?
Tarquin: I suppose, but I'm—
Roy: Then I accept.
Tarquin: Good!
- Panel 2, Page 2
Tarquin: Keep in mind that if any lasting harm comes to my son while he is under your protection, I will hold you—and your family members—personally responsible.
Roy: I take all of my responsibilities personally, thanks. Do you?
- Panel 3, Page 1
Tarquin: Ha! Fantastic! Elan, this warrior is going to be guarding you from now on.
Roy: Uh, hi. Nice to meet you.
- Panel 4, Page 1
Elan: Hi! I'm Elan! What's your name, Roy?
Roy: …
Roy: Roy.
- Panel 5, Page 2
A soldier brings in a flying carpet floating about Belkar-height above the balcony floor.
Tarquin: Ah, here it comes! Since time is of the essence, I sent for this gift from my personal vault.
Elan: Whoa…
Roy: Is that what I think it is??
Belkar: A hamfisted retread of an overplayed cultural motif?
- Panel 6, Page 2
Tarquin: This is my fastest flying carpet, Elan. You'll note both its red color as well as its racing stripes.
Tarquin: It should get you to Windy Canyon in two days, if you take turns sleeping while it flies.
- Panel 7, Page 2
Elan: Dad, I told you I didn't want any of your evil magic items!
Tarquin: We didn't craft this one, though. A friend of mine did steal it, but from a very wealthy man who owned six others.
- Panel 8, Page 2
A flashback of Jacinda on a flying carpet "pulling the rug out from under" a Prince of Persia character who was on the flying carpet being offered in the present.
Elan (inset): Oh. I guess that's not as bad then.
Tarquin (inset): Indeed, I promise he only missed it for a few seconds.
- Panel 9, Page 2
Tarquin: At any rate, I'm happy to put at your disposal any or all resources of this kingdom.
Elan: How do you control it?
Tarquin: Fear and intimidation, mostly, though a little torture her and there helps.
- Panel 10, Page 2
Beat. Elan looks at Tarquin aghast.
- Panel 11, Page 2
Tarquin: Or did you mean the carpet?
Tarquin: Just pull on one of the tassels.
D&D Context Edit
- The Carpet of Flying is a standard D&D item.
Trivia Edit
- Jacinda is a member of the Vector Legion, lead by Tarquin. Her class and level is unknown but suspected to be a Rogue. She has been handling the Empire of Sweat along with Laurin Shattersmith as part of their larger plans.

Strictly judge Darcey Bussell speaks out on Will Young's decision to quit
Singer announced he was withdrawing from the BBC One dancing show on Tuesday
DARCEY Bussell thought Will Young could have made it to the Strictly Come Dancing final.
The 47-year-old sits on the judging panel of the BBC show and has expressed her sadness at the singer's decision to quit the series after just three weeks of competition.
Will, 37, announced his departure on Tuesday, citing "personal reasons", but speaking for the first time since the revelation, Darcey admits she was shocked by his decision.
She told the MailOnline: "It's sad. Unfortunately being a judge we are not allowed to see the rehearsals or what happened during the week so you don't know the ins and outs and you only arrive on the day of the live show.
"It's horrifying to think that somebody who could have easily got to the final [has left]."
Reasons as to why Will may have decided to quit have abounded since the news broke, with many initially claiming it was because of his tiff with head judge Len Goodman on Saturday night's show following his Bollywood-inspired salsa with dance partner Karen Clifton.
But Darcey dismissed the speculation, saying: "But you know, like in anybody's lives, you have many things that are going on and it is not to do with Len Goodman - just to make that clear."
However new rumours suggest Will actually quit after clashing with Karen during rehearsals, with the singer reportedly "fed up" with the beauty telling him what to do.
An insider told The Mirror: "Karen was just doing her job, she was training him hard but in the end he just didn't want to keep getting told off and corrected all the time.
'It infuriated him. They squabbled a few times during rehearsals and it left him feeling exhausted.
"He just found the whole process too taxing and didn't think it was worth such a huge effort.'
