How Average True Range (ATR) Can Improve Your Trading?
Average True Range known by the acronym ATR is an indicator widely used in technical analysis in financial market analysis and measures volatility in the market. ATR has been introduced by Welles Wilder Jr. in his book New Concepts in Technical Trading Systems.
In this article, we'll discuss how the ATR can help improve your trading and how to use ATR as a stop loss. Stop-loss or sl in forex represents allowed risk for each trade.
Size/range of the ATR
As the range varies, it is important to take a designated value as a measure of market volatility. For this, the generally accepted practice is to adapt the best of these: current high less the current flow, the current high absolute value less the previous close, and the current absolute value. You need to take the average actual range. It's more than a moving average. It is determined by using the true range for 14 days.
In this image, we can see on the Daily chart Average true range. As you can see GBPUSD is in rising volatility. Price is going down but volatility is high. It is because of Coronavirus news.
Today, 229 pips are the daily range and a just week ago it was around 80 pips.
Determining ATR
As a trader, you can use a short period of fewer than 14 days to accrue trading signals. This is because longer periods are likely to generate fewer trading signals. Suppose, for example, a short term trader wants to evaluate the volatility of a stock during a five-day period.
The trader could have to estimate the ATR for the five-day period. As prices are arranged on the chronological order, the trader gets the absolute value at the maximum level at the current high minus current low, the absolute value of the current high less the preceding close, and the absolute value of current low less preceding close.
Calculating ATR:
Average True range = ATR = MAX (BarHigh, PreviousBarClose) – MIN (BarLow, PreviousBarClose)
Average true range stop loss you can calculate as Daily ATR percentage or Weekly ATR percentage.
By default, ATR indicator settings are 14 days. In trading, some traders use 24 or 30 too.
As an indicator of the absolute size of the trade
What does the ATR tell us about?
The author of the ATR had the intent to measure the volatility in the commodity market widely known for its volatility. However, note that ATR can also be used to measure the volatility and in stocks and indices.
The way it's used in the stock market is this: when a stock experiences high volatility, it is going to cause a higher ATR. Contrary to this, a low volatility stock assumes a lower ATR.
Market experts may use the ATR as an instrument to influence investors – they can advise the latter to exit trades. They can use it as a useful instrument to add to a trading system.
ATR is a helpful tool for market analysis to more correctly scale the volatility experienced on a daily basis for any asset. This involves using plain calculations.
Be aware that the indicator does not imply the direction price moves. It can show you the amount of volatility as a result of gaps and the limit that the market goes up or down.
It's also important to note that the ATR is simple to calculate and for this, you need to data on price on a historical basis. The starting step to calculate the ATR is finding a series of true range values for an asset.
Using ATR for exit and entry
The ATR is widely used as exit and entry determiner in markets when making such decisions. A commonly used technique is called chandelier exit invented by Chuck LeBeau's. The chandelier exit works thus: it reckons a trailing stop according to the highest high the stock reached since you entered the trade.
The gap between the highest high and the stop is equal to multiple times the ATR. Thus, you may subtract ATR three times from the highest high at the start when you entered the trade.
So how we can use ATR stop loss for the forex stop loss indicator?
We can set out a stop loss in the function of ATR.
For example :
You can set 20 pips for stop loss if today is 100 pips average true range. But even better you can do:
Instead of 20 pips you can set stop loss to be 0.2 Daily ATR. So if today is 100 pips range it will 20 pips, but if it is 150 pips range it will be 30 pips stop loss. Your stop loss is following the current market average true range.
So in your forex stop loss indicator, you just need to set stop loss to be as a function from ATR.
The ATR can also help decide how much you should devote to derivative markets. This is important. You can use it to measure the trader's amount of inclination to embrace risk and the volatility in the market.
ATR can help in day trading
If you use the ATR as a tool in the day intraday trade chart, the ATR is likely to increase steep following the market's opening. The ATR spurts even at the beginning of the day thanks to the high volatility at the moment. The ATR can show that the volatility was more than the preceding trade day.
Once the ART reaches the maximum level, it progressively declines all day. Of course, the fluctuation in the indicator may not provide any information barring the price and its average value at any minute. Likewise, the ATR can show how much each of your assets moves and its moving trend.
You can use the ATR to determine the price reached by your asset at any minute. Such analysis is helpful in predicting the tendency in the market movement – the probable trend.
How you can use the ATR forex indicator besides entry and target?
The ATR shows the actual movement in price tendencies. To determine the time that price takes to reach profit live, divide the profit you expect by the ATR. So you can connect ATR and profit as well.
As a guide to exit the market
You can use the ATR to leave the market if you find the price of the assets moves against your expectations. It can guide you when you should decide to exit the market.
By this, you can protect yourself against potential loss, by knowing the market movement tendency beforehand.
How it works
You need to take note of the ATR value at the moment. You can find out the suitable limit by just double the ATR. Thus, when you buy a stock that is losing you can arrest the loss at ATRx2. The loss increases and reaches the peak level and stays there until the close of trade because of the drop in price that could impact the stop loss level. For short trades as well, this mechanism works.
The ATR indicator is a great tool that helps traders determine the right amount of money they should devote at the right time. Of course, you should have enough exposure to the market – how to use the tool and the potential impact on the ultimate findings. By using the tool judiciously you can protect your money without having to spend a lot of time that would otherwise you squander. You can, thus, start trader on the day and you can also sense when you should devote more money to the market and you can sense the threatening perception and exit the market.

The Market Bull – August 16, 2019
Despite an extremely volatile week the major averages managed to hold up fairly well, with a strong finish Friday. For the week the Standard and Poors 500 index lost 20.39 points or.7%, while the NASDAQ lost 10.90 points or a fraction of a percent. Surprising results all things considered.
Construction activity missed expectations in July after Starts fell 4% to 1.191 million units annualized. Permits fared better with an 8.4% advance to 1.336 million units annualized. Despite some ups and downs this series hasn't really gone anywhere for almost a year.
The 2nd Quarter Services Survey Data portend optimism for second-quarter GDP revisions. U.S. selected services' total revenue for the second quarter of 2019 was up 1.3% from the previous quarter and up 5.4% from a year earlier. While consumer spending accounts for some 70% of total economic activity, much of that goes on services. An encouraging report, something that has been hard to find of late.
While I don't put much on various consumer sentiment surveys for a number of reasons. Recent market volatility and the on again, off again, trade war with the Chinese and other trading partners is beginning to take its toll. The University of Michigan Consumer Sentiment Survey for August fell 6.3 points to 92.1 in August. Weakness was noted in expectations. Inflation assumptions remain fairly modest, just under 3%, despite considerable history showing inflation to be running about 2% for a number of years now.
Standard and Poors 500 Index closed at: 2,888.35 up 40.75
NASDAQ finished the day: 7,894.27 up 127.65
Gold ended trading at: $1,522.60 down 8.60

We want our work to mean something.
Churning out accounts and tax returns without thinking about the people behind the business seems a waste of a life to us.
We want to help improve the lives of business owners.
amish Sheppard is a qualified CIMA accountant with many years experience within industry. For the last five years he has been operating as a short term accountant and consultant, providing interim support to large businesses, and organisations like Siemens, Barclays, The Wood Group, Highland Spring, and the Scottish government. This experience will help him bring big business thinking to start-ups and small business in Edinburgh.
Crunchers and Hamish share a vision for the accounting profession – we believe small businesses deserve more from their accountant than accounts and tax return.
Our vision is not to charge anything for year-end accounts and to have a guaranteed formula for building a great business, called 'Improving the Numbers'
Improving the Numbers is extremely well researched and each element is supported by real world examples.
Technology and laws need to develop and change before we can offer free accounts. But, we are moving in the right direction. This will allow small business owners to take the fees saved, and invest them with us, in areas that will either grow the business going forward, or provide time savings for the owner to then allow him to concentrate on what is important to him.
We'd like you to consider this equation:
Better Accountant = Better Business = Better Life
If all goes well with your business you will have the time and money to enjoy:
– Love and friendship from family and friends
– The feeling of security, stability and control
– A sense of achievement and the status of success
– A great lifestyle – home, car and holidays
We are committed to a few core principles:
– Ongoing learning
– Being friendly
– Fairness
– Mutual respect
– Professionalism
– Being honest.
The objective is to become your financial friend – someone you can trust to tell you the truth. Someone who will be there for you, someone who will help get the most out of yourself.
Hamish really delivered for us across a range of activities including accountancy,Hamish is an extremely professional individual. He demonstrates not only mastery for his core role, but also has the ability to quickly understand and operate business processes and systems.
Hamish brought stability to the financial reporting in a time of change, and was consistently proactive and responsive to ever changing demands for information, both from myself and from the wider business.
Hamish is an extremely capable individual who is quick to the nub of an issue and equally quick to the solution. His work was viewed at Director level and he frequently prepared briefs for the Board.
He consistently produced high-quality work within tight deadlines, was an excellent colleague and fitted in well to our team. I would have no hesitation in hiring him again or recommending him to others.

Along Joo Chiat Road there are a bunch of eating outlets that keep popping up, but this one has been here awhile. It's the old style Claypot Bak Kut Teh, very herbally and quite nice. Right next door is the satellite branch of Tian Tian Chicken Rice (not posted here yet, but I have eaten it a lot of times 🙂 )
Lena likes the Claypot Kidney Mee Sua, which she orders all the time here.
But this time, we came for a lunch. With seven guys, we ordered quite a bit of food.
You Tiao to go with the Bak Kut Teh is a must.
And of course chilies with dark soya sauce to dip. Here at Sin Heng you choose the fresh chilies and how much you want. They offer the real small spicy ones and the more subtler larger ones.
We ordered some Sambal Salur, a type of fish.
This is the special Bak Kut Teh, which is regular pork ribs, but added in are some mushrooms, baby corn, wood fungus, bean curd skin and some kidney and liver.
Claypot Pig Trotters. You can order fatty or not-as-fatty. Flavored so nicely.
And then the special Prime Rib Bak Kut Teh. I really like the ribs here, so meaty, so great. And the soup so herbally delicious.
The meal!
Oh yes, some veggie too. Bean Sprouts with Salted Fish and Chili.
I love this place. The Bak Kut Teh is so nice and just great.
The big debate is over the herbal style, which this is, and you find more of this in Malaysia, versus the chinese peppery style. Which is clearer broth, found mostly in Singapore.
I love them both.

by Mara Vigevani
When women in the exclusive secular Caddebostan neighborhood of Istanbul that she called home started wearing the jilbab and she began to feel uncomfortable walking around in a short-sleeved T-shirt, Berrin knew it was time to leave.
Sitting at a cafe in Ra'anana, where she arrived with her family eight months ago, Berrin says she feels relieved to have left. "In Istanbul we were considered strangers," she says, "the Muslims referred to us as sizinkiler (yours), to indicate 'your people.' I wasn't free to say I am a Jew, here I feel finally free to be myself."
Like many other Turkish Jews who chose to leave the country, Berrin left behind a very comfortable life. She ran her own architecture studio, while her husband, worked in the textile business, which he continues to do, staying in Istanbul during the week and returning home to Israel at weekends. Jetting between two countries is known as 'Boeing Aliyah,' and the Turkish Jews on the Tel Aviv-Istanbul route maintain a WhatsApp group called Ucan Kushler (flying birds) to help each other out.
Political events in Turkey over the last few years have made the country's Jews feel insecure and many have left. According to the Jewish Agency some 260 Turkish Jews moved to Israel in 2016 and the number jumped last year to 415 out of a community of 15,000.
President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's authoritarian tendencies, the Islamization of the country and the political situation there following the failed coup of July 2016 are among the factors that are pushing many Jews and also secular Turks to leave.
"All my friends are Muslims, I never studied in a Jewish school, I remember going with them to protests against Erdogan, but after the coup, everything changed," says Berrin. "That was the breaking point for me as for many other educated Turks who left the country. My best friend moved to Denmark and told me to move there too. 'Why are you going to another Middle East country; didn't you have enough with Turkey?' she asked me.' We thought to move to Canada but then preferred to come to Israel, where we have some cousins. My parents and my sister-in-law and her family also made aliyah."
Today Turkey's Jews, who arrived there 500 years ago seeking refuge from the Spanish Inquisition, see no future in the only Muslim country where Jews lived peacefully for such a long time. Their schools and synagogues are protected by dozens of policemen. Every time a Palestinian Authority Arab is killed in clashes with Israel, Jews fear retaliation and increasingly Muslims are deciding not to buy from shops owned by Jews.
" My brother still lives in Istanbul, " Berrin said. "He is finishing his Ph.D. and is teaching as an assistant. Last month his professor proposed that he apply for a position at the Turkish defense ministry, but his CV was rejected because he is a Jew. This is not new for us, this is how things always worked, but now it is getting worse."
Many Turkish Jewish families have moved to Ra'anana, an upscale suburb of Tel Aviv, and Em HaMoshavot, a neighborhood of glistening high rises in the town of Petach Tikva, where they live together helping each other getting used to the new life. Berrin says she chose Ra'anana as it reminds her of the Akatler neighborhood in Istanbul.
Lucy Yaes, 48, who arrived with her family in Ra'anana seven years ago, says their house became a sort of first stop for Turkish families moving to Israel. "Families would come for few days to look for apartments and sleep over at our house. Sometimes I had guests I didn't even know," she says.
Lucy, her husband Selim and their two daughters were one of the first families who decided to leave Turkey because of the new political reality. Before making Aliyah, Lucy was an English teacher in a private Turkish school, where she witnessed the slow but continuous Islamization of the country's educational system.
"I was much more aware of the changes that Turkish society was going through than others because I could see how the young were changing and becoming more religious from year to year," she says " Erdogan is very clever, he changed society slowly, step by step."
Ya'akup Kalvo, 32, moved to Israel last August together with his sister's family.
Although he owned a successful company, he felt he could no longer live in Turkish society.
"I didn't take public transportation any longer because I didn't feel safe, and the news was reporting everyday about things like young girls who had to get married to old men," says Ya'akup. "There is no future in Turkey, not just for Jews but also for secular and educated people."
Ya'akup remembers how he took the final decision to leave Istanbul while walking in the Fenerbahce Park area where he used to play when he was a child.
"I didn't feel safe anymore in my own city because of the growing number of Syrian refugees and the increasing number of religious people living there. Although I had a good job, I felt Turkey was no longer a good place to live," Ya'akup concludes sadly.

Eden Educators are Blooming!
Dr. Bill Thomas is always reminding us that education is the antidote to fear and resistance. Education is very important on the journey to person-directed care. Education needs to be provided, reinforced daily and refreshed periodically. With budget cutbacks a standard practice nowadays, especially in the area of employee education, now, more than ever, it is important for leaders to find low cost, effective options. Certified Eden Associates and Certified Eden at Home Associates who have a passion for The Eden Alternative, and a way of inspiring others through word and deed, can be grown into Eden Educators. As skilled facilitators, Eden Educators are equipped to provide information, knowledge, skills, training, resources and support that keep the person-directed care journey alive and thriving. This is what makes the journey sustainable. When education drops off, institutional practices start creeping back in.
Eight organizations, and two individuals, have taken the plunge and completed the 5-day Train the Educator Intensive so far in 2016. Nine new Educators completed an Intensive hosted by Signature HealthCARE in Louisville, KY, and seven new Educators completed an Intensive hosted by Calhoun County Medical Care Facility in Battle Creek, MI. These newly minted Educators are:
• Anna Sontag, Full Life Programs (Oregon)
• Joan Devine, Missouri Coalition Celebrating Care Continuum Change (Missouri)
• Skye Workman & Dayna Arnold, Sitka Pioneer Home (Alaska)
• Ronnie Brown, Christian Living Communities Clermont Park (Colorado)
• Phillip Ramey, Angie Conley, & Megan Morrison, Signature HealthCARE (Kentucky)
• Rosemary Damigella, Briarwood Healthcare and Rehabilitation Center (Massachusetts)
• Sally Dull & Therese Maupin-Moore, Thornapple Manor (Michigan)
• David Green & Deborah Heath, Jackson County Medical Care Facility (Michigan)
• Len Weiser, Masonic Villages (New Jersey)
• Patricia Newman & Dawn Streeter, Francis Parker Memorial Home (New Jersey)
These new Eden Educators are already making plans to facilitate their first classes, which will combine new, prospective Associates and current Associates seeking to refresh and renew their commitment to the journey. Case in point, at the Battle Creek, MI class, the team, which included current Associates, helped train 35 new Associates from 7 different organizations across Michigan. Formal leaders from these organizations also joined us to support graduation on the third day! It was a challenging and inspiring growth experience for everyone involved.
The next Train the Educator Intensive is scheduled in Denver Colorado Monday, July 11, 2016 through Friday, July 15, 2016 from 8:30 AM – 5:00 PM each day. Click here to download the Eden Educator application.
"Those people who develop the ability to continuously acquire new and better forms of knowledge that they can apply to their work and to their lives will be the movers and shakers in our society for the indefinite future." ~ Brian Tracy

I like to watch people. I sit on park benches and in café chairs and I watch them walk by, their stories painted on their faces.
They look familiar. I feel like I might know them — perhaps, for a moment, we're walking in the same direction. Couples holding hands and mothers with children. Business people and skaters and tourists. Men and women, young and old, black and white. Sometimes they catch my eye, but only for a glance. Their eyes slide from me to the bus schedule to their cellphone and I am forgotten. They're all busy, all going somewhere, all distracted by the necessity of their own lives.
I am one of them. For a moment I am present, but how long until I'm walking with my back to the sun, my head full and my hands empty?
For a moment, I sit on a beach in Southwestern Australia, watching a fishing boat bob on the Indian Ocean. It's a cliché perhaps, but a beautiful one — getting up early to see the sun rise, watching stingrays glide under the crystal water. I am happy. Not happy in a warm tea, soft bed kind of way — happy like a diver's head breaking the surface after a million miles of darkness — happy in a way of significance.
The feeling took me by surprise because it was easy. I never thought happiness could be easy. I thought it had to be scheduled and sought and earned, but this was natural. This was real.
Wouldn't it be funny if we could see ourselves in our happiest moments? See the girl in her natural habitat, sitting on the sand in a lumpy gray sweater. My toenail polish was chipped because I'd stubbed my toe on a rock and the bottom of my sweatpants was caked with sand. I sat with my face to the sun. I was real and I was really happy.
Jesus said something to me as I watched that sunrise — beauty is natural. It isn't earned and it isn't bought – it's written into the image we all share. Each of us carries a piece of God with us and it's up to us to live it or bury it.
If you want significance for your life, you have to acknowledge yourself. Not the photocopy self, but the natural part of you that deeply longs for road trips and skydiving and poetry. We don't have every hair in place and our toenail polish is a bit chipped, but we're happy and we're beautiful, walking in communion with God and the beauty he subscribed to each of us.
We want more because we are meant for more, so stop chasing sunrises and start collecting moments of simple happiness. Line them up and look at them closely — can't you see yourself? Maybe you're wearing a lumpy sweater and your hair's a bit messy, but it's you, thank God it's you – sitting with your face to the sun.
Stop what you're doing. This is too important to wait. Collect your moments of significance, every one you can think of, and add them up until they look like your wildest dreams. And if your life doesn't look like that picture you've drawn for yourself, then bend heaven and earth to make it so — your life is too significant to waste on good enough.
I want more from my life. I want more sunrises and more beaches. I want a million stingrays and seven thousand fishing boats. I want to live life, not just do life. I want significance and I will have it.

Women movement activist from Pakistan calls to celebrate Russian revolution anniversary
Rubina Jamil, women activist and trade unionist from Pakistan, has shared an international appeal on coming international women's day.
First of all she stressed the role of coming date. «We are celebrating 8th March International Women's Day to commemorate and pay tribute to those brave women who started their struggle for peace, bread and liberty, and also against the war in Russia in 1917. We all are proud that these women workers led this struggle.»
Rubina Jamil expressed joint view of her social movement in Pakistan:
«We are going to celebrate 100 years of the Russian Revolution, which is still a great benchmark for all the working class, for all the peasants, for all the oppressed people, youth and also women workers. The Russian revolution is still a great inspiration to all of us.»
She also explained why Russian women experience is still important for her region:
«Today we, the women, are the victims of the violence, by the state, at home and by the war. In my country Pakistan, and also in Afghanistan, India, and Sri Lanka, women are facing an enormous kind of violence. Thousands of women have been killed in terrorists attacked — terror planted by imperialism — whilst they are subjected to the traditional and social norms that are applicable to women in patriarchal and feudalistic systems, systems that place them as a third-grade citizens of the society. They face enormous kinds of violence at home and at work place, too.
So let us break all these chains and celebrate March 8th with great zeal, and raise our voices against all forms of discrimination, exploitation and injustice. Let us pay great tribute to the Russian Working Women who started their struggle in 1917 for Bread, Peace and Liberty.
I call on all women around the world to start mass mobilisation, to fight for peace and to break all the chains, to celebrate International Women's Day on March 8th and hold rallies alongside their male counterparts and with joined hands to raise the slogans: "Women want peace and liberty! Women say no to war".
It is also my request to form an International Committee to hold these rallies on the International Women's Day against War, Exploitation and Injustice…»
"Let us struggle with join hands to end violence, war and Exploitation. Long Live the Working Class! Long Live International Solidarity!" – Rubina Jamil finally wrote.

I am looking at buying my first external flash. I currently shoot with the Digital Rebel, but plan on upgrading (eventually) to the 5D. I am looking for a flash that will do a decent on-the-camera job as well as some limited remote work. I will also, eventually, be adding at least one other flash to the ensemble and will need some master/slave action. The two flashes that have caught my eye thus far are the canon 430EX and the Sigma EF 500 DG Super. I have been advised to stick with Canon to eliminate interoperability issues down the road, but the Sigma flash seems like a lot more bang for the buck.
Please advise.

A quote from "THE CAMERA MAN, His Adventures in Many Fields: With Practical Suggestions for the Amateur" published in 1919, "The camera man no longer waits for daylight to photograph a railraod wreck, for instance, but catches his picture in the flare of a pound or more of flash powder." The book points out that is possible because of the recent developement of faster film and lenses.
I am not suggesting that you go back that far, though I do have a case of flash bulbs in the attic.

I will echo BillDrew on the Sunpak 383. For a non-TTL unit I find the performance first-rate. Extremely accurate exposure in auto modeand power for longer distances. The price is right, too. It's at least $100 less than dedicated units. It has a low trigger voltage (6.94 VDC by my measurement) so it's safe to use with today's digital SLR's.

Not sure who advised you against non Canon flashes, maybe someone that wanted to sell you a Canon flash. You should nothave any issues with the Sigma's compataiblity at all, just be sure you get the EO-ETTL modelwhich is made for Canon. I have the 500DG super and it is an great flash with almost all the features of Canons top of the line 580EX for about half the price. I've used it with my first digital rebel 300d and also my 20D with absolutely no problems at all. I would highly recommend the Sigma over the 430, the Sigma can be used as a slave or master, which I don't believe the 430 can. and since you can almost get 2 Sigmas for the price of one 580, well for my money I'll take the 2 Sigma flashes. The 383 is a great flash, I have a couple that I use as slaves triggered by my Sigma 500DG Super, but never have used them on camera.

I have a couple of little slave triggers made by Sonia. they have a hot shoe that the flash slips in and they have a 1/4 20 thread so they can be mountedon a tripod, I have some light stands with a umbrella swivel stand that I use with mine. Then when my Sigma that is mounted on camera fires it triggers the slaves. I use these a lot for location shots where I don't have access to electricity for my strobes.

Ok, so I have been putting off this announcement for a while, but I feel it is time. As of next summer, I will no longer be photographing weddings. EEK! I know, I know! I have been dragging my feet because I didn't want my current brides to somehow get the idea that I was jumping ship or that my heart isn't fully in it. THAT IS SO NOT THE CASE! I LOVE shooting weddings! I receive so much joy getting to know my brides and grooms and sharing in their special day! I am fully committed and involved in creating timeless beautiful images for the couples I have on the books in the upcoming year. PLEASE know this!
There are a number of reasons that I will no longer be doing weddings, but the biggest is my family. As some of you know, my husband is in the Air National Guard. He deploys quite a bit and definitely doesn't have the job where he can reschedule if I need him. More often than we would like, I am playing single mom to the boys. My oldest started "big school" this year and my youngest will be starting next fall. I got a very sudden reality check with our first year of "big school." I never see my son! He is gone all week and all I have are the weekends. Throw in a ballgame, practice, church, etc. and you are toast! I am just NOT ok with not being there for them on the weekends or telling them that they will have to miss this or that because I have a wedding. So with hubby's crazy schedule and deployments, I really need more flexibility and my Saturdays back.
I still may do a wedding here and there for a friend or family member, but I will not be marketing myself as a wedding photographer or have a web presence as such. Who knows what the future holds, but for now, this I what I truly believe is right for me, my business and my family.
I thank all my past and future clients for trusting their most important day to me. I value that trust like you could never know. It makes me so happy to be able to document such a special time in people's lives. Thank you all!

November. Somehow, by some nettlesome and coy slip of Mother Nature dearest, it has arrived. The long summer days, dripping with warmth and soft, enduring light, have faded, replaced by naked trees and stars before dinner. We are no longer asked what we would like to gain and achieve from our time on the coast of Maine, but rather how we have grown, what we have gained and achieved, and how we will carry these things forward, as we prepare to depart. We always knew it would be a semester, a season to live and learn and cherish before returning to the homes that bore as here. There was always an end, a goal and a time and close. But that stuff was for the future! Suddenly, this future is not so far away.
Yesterday, at our weekly school meeting, we ventured out to Hoyts Point to discuss just this. We sat in a circle (a formation that has become more than second-nature to us) and took turns listening and sharing our thoughts on coming to an end. I stayed quiet. I let my classmates musings sink deep, let their victories and hopes and paths and memories wash over me, and I wondered: what had I achieved? How had I grown?
It is not hard to see all that I have received from my life here on Chewonki Neck, and hopefully I few things I have given. I have traded masks of makeup and skin-tight jeans for dirty Levi's and my mother's old Carhartt jacket. I have risen early, when the sky was still thick with darkness and celestial spatterings, and gathered hay and grain and carried irksome buckets, water spilling the whole way, for the horse that I tended to. I have broken eggs (intentionally) and shaken bottles filled with milk so that the fat would settle. I have watched sunrises, plural, and learned how some are purple and pink and still and others burn triumphantly. I have talked to trees and learned their names and skin and leaves, have etched their likeness into books, and decided that Birch is my favorite. (Or maybe Maple.) I have grown to know forty-one students as my friends, and also my teachers and farmers and Outdoor Classroom leaders alike. I have learned how to live with peers, how to live in a cabin with five other girls, how to support and bolster, and also how to be supported. I have learned that fall in New England is truly beautiful beyond compare.
I have gained so much from being a member of Maine Coast Semester 55; it is not a question of that. But rather, it is a question of how to form something coherent, how to bring together the eggs and the trees and the teenagers into something that I can carry with me as I go back home and onward. Perhaps, though, that is something that I will work out later. Perhaps for now, I should take these things, these mornings and encounters and truths, and see where they lead me. When I was young, I used to be the girl too scared of bugs to step outside my door; on my solo two weeks ago, I did not even set up a tarp, wanting nothing to divide me from the salt marsh hay and the nocturnal winds and the rain. I have learned so much from being here at Chewonki. I have learned how to love the world I am in, how to embrace it with fervency and care, how to be a member of a whole, greater body of people, and how to have a voice of my own. As the final weeks approach, I hope to sink my teeth deep into every moment of existing here, in this home I have found in these people and this place. And as an end draws near, I know with full faith that though I will leave, this home is one that will stay with me always.

Startup Wannasportde
Three sports students open first cross-sports tournament and competition portal for athletes on the Internet. In the desperate search for tendering for hockey tournaments, the idea was born: an Internet portal that allows anyone to quickly find competitions and tournaments, but makes also the advertising for Organizer very easy. The sports students now put this idea into practice and help with wannasport.de of from now on every recreational athletes looking for the individual challenge. Not only the traditional sports such as handball and football tournaments can be advertised and searched, but also curious trend and edge sports such as soapbox, table football and beach soccer can be found at wannasport.de budding sports scientists respond to the boom in the event and grassroots and speak with their offer above all recreational athletes and sports clubs/associations. Search: Athletes and fans can find tournaments in their sport and in their environment (village Championships, everyone contests, etc.) ADVERTISE: Organizer present and advertise the online portal free of charge for your event in the search for the perfect tournament/competition offers for each of many useful features. Search the user allows to find events in close proximity to the place of residence.
Based on the postal code, the events are sorted by their distance from the place of residence. The user immediately sees how far he is from his tournament/competition. Painstaking crawl of long tournament list belongs to the past. With additional filters (E.g. age or tournament types) you can then further refine the search. The tournament list issued following first provides an overview of the registered events and can then be adapted according to individual criteria. With a click on the desired event, the user learns details about the timing of the event, the application fees, prices and the framework programme. Nonetheless, questions remain unanswered, contact can form directly be taken to the Organizer.
For registered users can provide additional opportunities. Your own profile page, a mailing system and your own photo albums allow contact and interaction with other enthusiasts. Under the heading of my sports can be conveniently manage the own events and archive. Other features, such as a registration system, news system and the expansion of the filter for the ads are planned for the coming months, will further complete the offer. Specially for the advertise customized fields and thus search filter will be for the individual sports. The budding sport scientist Jan Dahne (University of Mainz), Pascal Weis (German sports University Cologne) and Benjamin Bantz (University of Landau) form the wannasport.de team. It was a long way from the idea to its implementation. But the three are sure that the joy of the competition especially in the grassroots will continue to grow and want every athlete and organizer of the search and design with wannasport.de of the support perfect events.

My primary focus has been about sharing about the adventures Aubrey and I go on and now in have decided to evolve my website, Facebook Page and Instagram to better reflect our lives. So I have decided move the focus away from me and NH Summit Mommy and redirect it to Aubrey.
I will continue to add our trip reports to our website as well as write informational articles as time and subjects allow.
The website will automatically redirect you from NH Summit Mommy to Adventures with Aubrey. You will still find all the same information and it won't be going away!

This course will assist in preparation for entrance into medicine. Constituting this program is year 12 physics, and 1st year biology and chemistry.
The characteristics of learners are mainly either students who are busy who want education when they want it, or students who are rural who want education where they want it. The strategy to achieve this, is to utilize a combination of audio, video and kinesthetic pedagogies to teach. Language, Literacy and Numeracy (LLN) concerns are addressed by the use of explanations using single language and math. Staff and students should have access to a HTML5 browser, with an Adobe Flash plugin.
The purpose of MR. SHUM'S CLASSROOM is to enthuse students in the learning process. The objective is to delineate a set of knowledge, practical and professional (communication, teamwork, problem solving, initiative and enterprise, planning and organizing, self-management, learning and technology) skills to the learner. The online nature means it is accessible any time, anywhere, and there are lower WHS risks apart from prolonged computer usage. The cost of course is currently priced at approximately analogous to other online providers. We also offer scholarships to improve accessibility to disadvantaged students.
Training and assessment arrangements
Course delivery is over a period of 0, using a combination of PowerPoint, podcast audio, and study guide. Because of the online delivery nature of this qualification, students cannot attend a physical classroom, and as such, may require use of Skype and other YouTube video technologies. For students that are under 18, as a real work environment may be unavailable, a simulated work or industry environment will be provided, and supervision provided synchronously over internet communication technologies.
The program will be delivered through a series of e-learning materials and textbook readings, with formative discussion questions to be conferred in groups, and quizzes for students to independently complete throughout the program, and practical tasks where applicable. The e-learning platform provides a simulated work environment where possible, through the use of case studies. Students are then required to complete summative assessment tasks, recommended so as work placement, to demonstrate competency. Assessments are conducted through the e-learning platform, through work experience, work placement, simulated work environments, or a combination of these, depending on the requirements of the student.
The program will be delivered by dividing units into various clusters, including:

Trip Report: Mt. St. Mary
by Pat Prendergast
Inspired by recent articles on this mountain, a group of 9 from our mid-week group (including 2 Kiwi ex-pats now living in Canada), met at the Ahuriri Base Hut in the drizzling rain, on January 3rd 2016. Next day dawned clear & sunny so we headed across the river, up the steep tussock slopes into the upper basin. Once over the stream the going was rougher with a mix of boulder fields & scree slopes & alpine veg until we reached the lake nestled among smooth rocky outcrops. In between them, was a great variety of campsites with lake views.
Next morning, after a frosty start, we headed up the maze of jumbled boulders, past old winter snow slopes & into the steep gully that leads to the ridge. It was slow going because the rock was so loose but finally we were on more stable ground with the main ridge under our feet. The others graciously let me (the oldest member) lead up the last section to the summit. The summit team were, Daryll, Barbara & David Thompson, Chris Longson, Jan Haley, Rod Thomson & Pat Prendergast.
A morning tea celebration on the top with views of Cook, Aspiring, & the peaks of the area, Barth & Huxley made for a special start to the new year. We carefully moved back down the gully to avoid rock fall then had a very enjoyable run down the snow slopes & back to the camp. Alison Longson & Di Hooper had a brew ready for us then the rest of the day was spent exploring the smaller tarn area with it's abundance of alpine flowers, a dip in the lake & resting. After a hearty round of folk songs & poems we climbed into our sacks feeling very satisfied.
Next morning we were all packed & ready an hour before schedule. The way down was shortened by using a gully that Barbara had sussed out the day before, so it was no time before we were back down, across the river & back to the cars for lunch.

Bayside – Vacancy (Hopeless Records)
Genre – Punk Rock
Long Island based four piece, Bayside, have returned with a venomous album that rings of hard-hitting punk rock from start to finish.
With pretty damning verdicts on the band's last two albums, Cult and Killing Time, they were in danger of going past their sell by date and earning a reputation as a dull pop punk act living off the successes of the early albums, but Vacancy sees the band rejuvenated.
Previously Bayside found themselves labeled with bands such as Alkaline Trio due to their pop punk style sound, but Vacancy takes a much angrier approach that packs a similar punch to some of the early Against Me! albums.
Their seventh studio album is full of powerful vocals, racing guitars and cleverly assembled lyrics that combine to create an album that flows smoothly from start to finish, giving key focus to the weary, yet powerful vocals of Anthony Reneri.
Right from the opening chord of Two Letters, it's clear lead guitarist Jack O'Shea means business. There's none of the stereotypical pop punk sound we've heard over and over again, instead O'Shea sounds much more like a classic rock guitarist.
This classic rock sound that O'Shea has added is most evident in Springsteen-esque Mary. The easy listening track takes away the anger and adds searing guitars and country rock style vocals, with a chorus of 'we're going to make it out one night' making for a real sing along number filled with hope.
While classic rock and venomous punk rock take centre stage on this album, Dead All Day, is perhaps the track that really stands out. The theatrical number would slide seamlessly into a rock opera and while it doesn't entirely fit with the natural flow, the carefree vibe portrayed gives a stark contrast to the anger elsewhere, adding a new dimension to this album.
While Bayside have added an extra oomph to their sound, there is still room for some teenage angst in the form of Pretty Vacant, with its pop punk sing-along chorus of 'I can't believe this is my life', showing the band haven't forgotten their roots.
It's been a long journey for Bayside, with plenty of soul searching, and it's a long time since they've made an album filled with such excellent wordplay, simple truths and roaring guitars, so don't write this one off based on their recent work – you'll get a pleasant surprise!

'I won't be bossed around' by Brexiteers - MP on why he quit his local Tory party
- Credit: PA
A defiant MP has said he quit his local Tory party because he would not be 'bossed around by a very small number of people' hankering for a no deal Brexit.
However Nick Boles said he wanted to stay within the Conservative Party nationally, so he and other more progressive Tories can 'start flexing our muscles' and take on members of the European Research Group (ERG).
The Grantham and Stamford MP has been in a long-running dispute with his Conservative association, most notably over his position that Britain should not leave the European Union without a deal in place.
He told the BBC's Andrew Marr Show that a 'certain amount of pressure was applied' where his association 'wanted me to tell them now, three years before the next election, whether I wanted to be their candidate in that election'.
Boles, who will now continue as a member of the Conservatives nationally, added: 'The party nationally made clear to me I didn't need to tell them for a year or two.
You may also want to watch:
'I just concluded that our relationship had reached a point where there was no point pretending that we could patch things up and that we'd better just part company in what I hope is a reasonably amicable way and then they can go and select a candidate more to their liking at the next election.'
He said the disagreements with his local party were not on whether Britain should leave the EU, pointing out that he has 'voted for Theresa May's deal every time it has been offered'.

But he said: 'The only thing, and in truth the real area where I fell out with some members of my association, was in my efforts to stop a no deal Brexit.
'My view is that is actually going to make it more likely that Brexiteers will vote for the prime minister's deal and that we actually do get Brexit.'
He admitted that many people in his former association might be happy with a no deal Brexit.
But he added: 'I represent 100,000 people in parliament I have roughly 500 members of my local association and roughly 16 people on my executive.
'I'm afraid I'm going to claim the right to interpret what is in the best interests of the 100,000 people I represent and I'm not going to be bossed around by a very small number of people with very ideological views.'
He still plans to continue taking the Conservative whip and said that even though he considered sitting as an independent, he concluded that was not the right thing to do.
'I would feel like I have ratted on my constituents because they voted for me as a Conservative,' he said.
'Ultimately I'm not ready to give up on the Conservatives just yet.'
He pledged to be a progressive, liberal-minded Conservative rather than 'an ideological, reactionary Conservative'.
And he said people in his wing of the party need to start 'flexing our muscles', adding: 'We need to start demanding a Conservative Party that responds to what we believe in and not just what members of the ERG believes in.'
