I had my last PIO shot on Friday. We probably should have finished out the full 7 days, but Chris was rushing to a gig and there was no way I could get up enough courage to stick myself with the big needle so I went without. Now I just wait for AF to rear her ugly head so I am packing a few emergency pads for the trip east.
I have been keeping an eye on the blogs/fertility boards/Youtube vlogs and watching some women get their BFP's, others deal with the crushing negative beta results and others just going into their 2ww. It's been a gauge for me to anonymously watch some of these ladies go through this experience; secretly following the ones who's cycles matched mine all the while watching, reading, learning, hoping along with them. My heart truly aches for the ones who have to start again. I know that could be us come July, and it's humbling to read about.
Physically: I have broken out like a 14 year old. It's horrible. I have gained 7lbs from this roller coaster and have been brought to my knees by the cravings my hormones shackle me with. It's insane.
Mentally: I have to be honest, it's hard to see pregnant women. Chris and I were in Lowes the other day, and I turned down one aisle, looked up and saw this lovely girl in a yellow tank top and skirt just about 7-8 months along. There was a bizarre and totally unexpected feeling of worthlessness that came over me by just looking at her. I was caught unawares and to this moment cannot sort out if I feel awful about feeling like that, or feel awful because I was so aware of it.
Even though I believed I mentally prepared myself for this not going forward, or working out the way we expected, I am still disappointed that we were unable to do a fresh transfer. I need to get over it right quick and just look towards July.

Already decided to start and want my help: click here to begin the process. If not, read on…
There are any number of reasons to start driving with Uber:
- You have a full-time job already, but want to boost your income a little bit when your schedule gives you some free time.
- You're a student at university or TAFE, and need a job that will work around your studies and personal life – and help to fund both.
- You're looking for work in a particular field but competition for positions is tough and you need something to help make ends meet in the mean time.
- You're curious about how it all works, and have the spare time to investigate.
- You feel stuck in a job you don't like, and are looking for something new to slip into. (This one is particularly familiar to me!)
There's plenty more reasons out there from the perfectly reasonable to the outright crazy. But whatever reasons you have, I can help you get under way.
Unfortunately its not quite as simple as filling out a form on website, clicking "Submit", and away you go. There are a number of steps you'll need to go through. Some are straightforward, but some have the potential to be confusing. Even once Uber gives you the green light to get under way for your first ride, there are still other steps you'll need to take so that the time spent on Uber-ing can be more about driving around and making money and less about managing the money.
The important thing to remember is that I've done it before: I can steer you away from the potholes, and help you navigate to your destination as smoothly as possible.
Okay, so maybe I'm stretching the metaphor into pun territory, but despite that I can be of help. And not just in the early stages of joining and getting on the road, but as an ongoing source of help if you need it. Whether you come across a situation where you don't know what you should do, have a problem and need help fixing it, or just have a bad experience with a passenger and need to vent to someone who understands, I'm here.
If your concerned about what my help will cost you, don't be. You don't have to pay me give me anything for my assistance – unless you really want to, in which case I won't be rude and refuse. Now I'm not being completely altruistic here: you get my help for free, but I still get paid, via a referral fee Uber pays to me after you follow this link to join up and make your first few trips. Once you do that, get in touch via the Contact page here and I'll start to go through the steps you need to be on your way.

Cyramza Failed in Phase III Trial for Liver Cancer
- Updated: June 11, 2014
Cyramza is a cancer drug developed by Eli Lilly and Co., it has already been approved for stomach cancer. The developers were hoping that this drug will be effective for liver cancer patients as well. But the drug failed to meet the primary endpoint in a Phase III REACH trial. The drug couldn't increase the survival rate in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma significantly. In an earlier study, cyramza had failed to increase survival rates in breast cancer patients. Cyramza was given special approval by the US and European administrative bodies in 2011 and 2012 to treat liver cancer, because it showed promise in earlier study results. Such "orphan drug" approvals are given only to drugs that are capable of treating rare diseases.
The trial was randomized, double blind and compared cyramza plus best supportive care to placebo plus best supportive care for patients who have been unresponsive to standard chemotherapy treatment for liver cancer. There were 565 patients involved.
"Although the REACH study did not achieve statistical significance for survival, we are encouraged by the efficacy seen overall, especially in specific subpopulations. We plan to discuss these results with regulatory authorities," said Richard Gaynor, senior vice president, product development and medical affairs for Lilly Oncology.
Cyramza was used as a second line treatment in the study. No Phase III study has yet showed improved survival for patients with liver cancer, in the second line setting, there are no approved therapies in this area and there is high demand for drugs that could meet the need.
Cyrmza has been found to be affective against the most common form of lung cancer, in a late stage trial and is being tested against colorectal cancer.

I recently (in late October) took a birding trip to Oaxaca, Mexico. While I was there, I saw an unkown species of orchid. I managed to get a good sketch of it in my journal so I could get an ID of it back in the U.S. Since then, I've tried local greenhouses, museums, and libraries to no avail. No illustration looks like my orchid. Is there a good guide on Mexican orchids published anywhere? Are there any Mexican orchid experts who can help me out? I'll be happy to answer further questions about it or provide a description via this spot for anyone who's interested. Sincerely, Barbara Harris

Staunton, August 8 – Tomorrow, Karelians will quietly mark the 25th anniversary of their republic's declaration of sovereignty. Today, interior ministry officials called in some of those making plans to do so to warn against such actions, an indication, Vadim Shtepa says on Facebook, that even the recollection of sovereignty frightens Moscow.
On August 9, 1990, the Supreme Soviet of the Karelian ASSR adopted its declaration of state sovereignty, part of the so-called "parade of sovereignties" that swept through the RSFSR and USSR at that time. The Republic Movement of Karelia plans to mark this round anniversary and the concurrent date of the Day of Indigenous Peoples with a music festival, KarjalaFest (vesti.karelia.ru/news/v_petrozavodske_otmetyat_25-letie_prinyatiya_deklaracii_o_gosudarstvennom_suverenitete_karelii/).
The planned festival will be relatively modest – with a buffet in a local café and a performance of Karelian folk and rock bands to follow – but the very idea of holding it and the ideas that some of its organizers are expressing has clearly unnerved officials who called them in today to warn against anything that might be extremist.
Vadim Prokopyev, the leader of the Republic Movement of Karelia, says that his group "decided to conduct this festival in order to remind residents of Karelia about this historic date" because "the further centralization in the country proceeds, the less authority remains in the regions and the worse life becomes."
According to the activism, Russia's regions, including Karelia, are ever more becoming wards of Moscow. But "we remember what an outburst of economic activity and international relations took place in Karelia in the 1990s when the first president of Russia suggested to the regions that they should 'take as much sovereignty as they could swallow.'"
Unfortunately, Prokopyev adds, after that time, "a harsh centralization of power began, and we see what this can lead to in Karelia in the current economic situation. It seems to us that the federal center needs to delegate to the regions much more authority. This will promote the strengthening not only of the regions but of the federation itself."
In a sympathetic commentary on this anniversary, Karelian writer Valery Potashov says that the 1990 declaration unfortunately has proved to be one of "unrealized possibilities" and that both Karelians and Russia as a whole should reflect upon why that is so and what the costs have been as a result (vesti.karelia.ru/polit/deklaraciya_nerealizovannyh_vozmozhnostej/).
Potashov begins by pointing out that in June, Karelia marked the 95th anniversary of the Moscow decree on the formation of the Karelian Labor Commune, a date that is now considered in Karelia as "a state holiday, the Day of the Republic." But it would be more logical to adopt August 9th as that holiday, given the Karelian declaration of 1990 and on the model of the Russian Federation's June 12th Day of Russia.
"It is interesting," the Petrozavodsk writer says, "that the draft of this [1990] document was published in 'Leninskaya Pravda,' which then was the organ of the Karelian obkom of the CPSU and in fact was the official publication of the autonomous republic. Could anyone imagine something similar in Karelia today when even an incautious phrase of a deputy … about the possible separation of the republic if Russia doesn't need it, is considered the occasion for the initiation of a criminal case?"
Potashov continues by observing that "the former chairman of the presidium of ht Supreme Soviet of the Karelian ASSR and the first head of the Republic of Karelia proclaimed in 1991, Viktor Stepanov, recalled later that in those times no one raised the issue about the possibility of the republic getting state independence."
Instead, Stepanov pointed out, "the authorities in Karelia wanted only more rights as far as the administration of their territory was concerned, because up to then almost everything had to be decided in Moscow." When it succeeded in getting some of those rights, things got better in Karelia and very quickly.
During the 1994-1998 period alone, more housing was built in Karelia than in the previous 30 years, Potashov notes, and Karelia dramatically expanded its industry and trade with Finland. Today one can only imagine where Karelia would be if it weren't for the harsh centralization Moscow has insisted on since 2000.
Unfortunately, "for the quarter century which has passed since the adoption of the Declaration of State Sovereignty of Karelia, it has remained a subsidized territory incapable of earning enough not to depend on financial help from Moscow or live by its own means without falling into debt," the Karelian commentator says.
And consequently, if one looks back at this period of Karelian history, he concludes, "one can say that the republic really had a chance which it has not been able to use."
Many will view this moderate and elegiac comment as an indication that Moscow and Vladimir Putin have won, but in fact, as at least some in the Russian center understand, such moderation and such regret may form the basis for a broader challenge to the center than the more radical declarations of some ethno-nationalist writers.

I applaud Mr Hussain for the attempt at engaging his fellow Muslims in this way. I am not sure that it will affect the outcome of the global discussions about Islam but I do think that he accurately points out some of the inconsistencies existing within the Islamic community.
What really stumped me in Michael's write-up was that since the beginning, according to him, it has been the Jewish Community Center in Manhattan whose rabbi has been helping the New York Muslim community in their quest. And I thought the Jews were our worst enemies.
Anwaar Hussain
Bang in the middle of this controversy, other dazzling news was almost drowned out. According to a Christian Science Monitor report, the hundred thousand strong Muslim community of the Italian city of Milan are pushing for building the first-ever mosque in that city. And who is their most steadfast ally in this quest? Lo and behold, it's none other than the Vatican itself. Says Cardinal Dionigi Tettamanzi, the Catholic Church's highest authority in Milan, "Milan civil institutions must guarantee everyone religious freedom," and "Muslims have the right to practice their faith."
All power to the Muslim communities in New York and Milan - and Michael Moore and Cardinal Dionigi Tettamanzi, but where does that leave ordinary Muslims like me? I'm all confused. I thought these people could never be friends with Muslims.
But that's not all I'm puzzled over. I also need to understand why in our holy land [Saudi Arabia], a country that is a role model for the Muslim world, a kind of apartheid against non-Muslims is practiced.
What really boggles my mind is when I think of what would happen if Christians were involved in a terrorist attack on one of our holy cities: would we ever, ever contemplate allowing Christians to build a church next to the attack site?
Why do we all forget the aforesaid facts when we cry out for equal rights and freedom of speech, thought and action in the West? Why don't we demand the same in our own countries? Why do we lapse into collective silence at the persecution of minorities in our countries? Why don't we believe in giving to others what we claim for ourselves? Why don't we see the heartrending injustice of it all?
Is it ignorance? Is it duplicity? Is it dread of the unknown? Is it the lethal mix of all three that keeps us from being honest? Or is it plain old hypocrisy?
What was your takeaway from this? Do you think his message will be heard by Muslims?

You've got your sights set on the international market and you feel ready to make the leap! You now need to make sure you have everything you need. How can you ensure that your development in countries with different cultures, laws and customs to those you are used to will be successful? Here are some key steps that will help you to stack the odds in your favor!
Choose your destination: measure your international traffic
Developing internationally should not be left to chance, and your statistics can help you to make the right decisions. Where do my foreign customers come from? In which other countries is there high demand? And plenty of other questions to which the figures hold the answers. This is the surest way to get on the right track!
If you do not offer payment means or international shipping, you are pretty much guaranteed to never ship packages overseas. You therefore need to analyze in which countries demand may be high: interest in your products, competition, size on the market, etc. Remember that the countries that appeal to you personally may not be of interest to your business!
Adapt to the jargon of your target country
That's all there is to it! You know where you want to expand, so it's now time to move from the abstract to the concrete… and start adapting your shop! To do this, you should pay attention to several criteria, in particular:
The language is the most obvious and the most important. Get the whole of your site translated (about, contact, conditions for use, etc.), not just your product pages. Also remember that the same language may vary depending on where it is spoken (US English is not the same as UK English, for instance).
The currency, so that your customers can pay you! By adapting to the country's currency, you increase your chances of getting paid and often avoid bank charges.
Localization is a key element of good practice. Think about using the right domain name – .fr is only used in France – and a local telephone number, for example. Also think about taxes, which are bound to be different!
Units of measurement (weight, distance, etc.) must also be taken into consideration. Meters, kilograms and liters are not used everywhere in the world.
PrestaShop has been translated into 65 languages, and localization packs, which include the translation, the currencies, the units of measurement, the taxes and the states (as appropriate), are available to download free of charge.
Introduce the country's payment methods
There is nothing more frustrating than not being able to pay for your order! As well as disappointing a customer on the home straight, you may lose sales. Practices vary from country to country: bank card, check, e-wallet, and cash on delivery etc., a whole host of payment methods to which you have to adapt to offer shoppers the same solution they use whenever they order anything online.
Offer local carriers
Customers expect their packages! You therefore need to offer them a carrier they are familiar with and that can deliver quickly. This is important for reassuring them: customers want their package to arrive quickly and in good condition. They may also prefer to collect items from a nearby collection point. This is the point at which you should ask yourself the question about cost practices in terms of transport: still free shipping, calculation based on weight or number of items, free above a certain value, etc. In short, follow best practice!
Find out about the laws in force
National legislation needs to be taken into account whenever you expand overseas. You need to follow the rules and abide by the laws governing commerce and e-commerce. Find out about product returns and shipping policies, IT laws, and reimbursement and damages policies. You must take into account laws that protect merchants and those that protect customers to adapt your shop and bring it into line. It's a good idea to contact a lawyer in the country who specializes in these matters to answer your questions and give you guidance!
As you can see, expanding overseas is an exciting adventure but one that requires hard work. Take a look at the dozens of online shops in the country and learn from them. The important thing is to always think local. Throw away your preconceptions and gather information... preferably from natives of the country!
PrestaShop has 310 features to help you with your international growth.

MIPS >> Advancing Care Information >> Provide Patient Access
Note: Practice Fusion is committed to supporting our customers participating in MIPS in 2017. As a MIPS participant in 2017, you can use the Practice Fusion EHR and other tools to help you monitor your MIPS performance during your chosen 2017 reporting period. We are also continuing to actively work to further enhance our product functionality for MIPS and we will be giving further updates as they become available.
Under the Merit-based Incentive Payment System (MIPS) pathway of the MACRA Quality Payment Program, the Advancing Care Information (ACI) category replaces the Medicare EHR Incentive Program (Meaningful Use). ACI is one of the four performance categories that will be considered and weighted for scoring an eligible clinician's performance under MIPS. A clinician's score for the Provide Patient Access measure is dependent on the clinician meeting the measure's base score requirements. This measure may also be selected to earn additional performance score credit. For more information on ACI scoring methodology, please click here.
|Patient Electronic Access
|Provide Patient Access
At least one patient seen by the MIPS eligible clinician during the performance period is provided timely access to view online, download, and transmit to a third party their health information subject to the MIPS eligible clinician's discretion to withhold certain information.
|Scoring information:
Reporting Requirements
- Numerator: The number of patients in the denominator (or patient authorized representative) who are provided timely access to health information to view online, download, and transmit to a third party.
- Denominator: The number of unique patients seen by the MIPS eligible clinician during the performance period.
Additional Measure Information
To earn base score numerator credit for this measure, at least one patient seen by the MIPS eligible clinician during the performance period must be provided timely access to view online, download, and transmit to a third party their health information within 4 business days of the patient's relevant encounter. Every patient who is seen by the MIPS eligible clinician during the clinician's selected performance period will count towards the measure denominator. To gain denominator credit within the Practice Fusion EHR, those patients must have at least one signed encounter note with a date of service from within the performance period.
To earn further numerator credit for the performance score component of this measure, the MIPS eligible clinician may complete the numerator requirements detailed above for as many additional denominator eligible patients as the clinician deems appropriate during his or her selected 2017 performance period. For information on earning numerator credit for this measure, see the Practice Fusion Suggested Workflow section below.
More information:

What is the Quality Payment Program?
Quality Payment Program is the name given to the new Medicare value-based reimbursement system. The program has two tracks for participation: MIPS and APM
What are APMs?
MACRA allows providers who take further steps towards transforming healthcare to be exempt from MIPS and participate in Advanced Alternative Payment Models (APMs).
How to prepare
Individual eligible providers can prepare to meet all MIPS measures and be ready to avoid penalties and earn bonuses on January 1, 2017.

James Walbourne
Where are you from?
Muswell Hill, London
What do you do?
Play guitar, write songs, sing.
Describe your style in three words?
Rocker. Sometimes long hair sometimes not.
If you could make a record with anyone from history?
Elvis. The original and still the best. He's the whole reason I wanted to play music.
What's the best gig/show you've ever been to?
So many to choose from but my favourite show in recent memory was The Replacements at The Roundhouse in London. Restored my faith in rock music.
What British music icons inspire your sound today?
Ray Davies - have been lucky enough to work with him in the past and he remains one of my heroes.
Also, Richard Thompson. Still writing classic songs and playing guitar better than ever.
If you could spend an hour with anyone from history
Alan Lomax, the great American musicologist and the guy that recorded Leadbelly.
Which British subculture means the most to you?
I'm going to borrow from your Dave Davies interview here - 'Pubs and Football - up the Arsenal!' - couldn't have said it better myself.
If you could share the bill with any British band in history?
The Alex Harvey Soul Band. My dad used to put Alex on at the Green Man pub in Great Portland St back in the '60s. He used to go and play there after he got done playing in the pit for the musical Hair. He was a great performer by all accounts - some of the footage of him with SAHB (his later band) is incredible. I feel a connection to the British blues scene in the '60s as playing in pubs and bars was how I cut my teeth as a musician when I was young. Breaks my heart to see the pubs disappearing at such an alarming rate.
What music did you listen to growing up?
A lot of 50's and 60's American music. Mostly Rock'n'Roll, Blues, Country, Jazz. My dad took me to see everyone in concert from Frank Sinatra to Miles Davis to Stevie Ray Vaughan. (Track- Jerry Lee Lewis - What Made Milwaukee Famous).
The Rails are husband and wife folk-rock duo James Walbourne and Kami Thompson. Based in London, they released their first album in 2014, with their latest LP release 'Other People' coming out in September 2017.

Corporal Linda Garrett
Normally she works with the Nowra East Public School's support program for children with emotional disturbances, but for the last few months she has been serving her country in the Solomon Islands as an Army Reservist.
In Solomon Islands she is Corporal Garrett, the Company Clerk for the infantry soldiers deployed there as part of Operation ANODE.
Operation ANODE is the name of our military contribution to the regional assistance mission, assisting the Solomon Islands Government in the maintenance of stability, law and justice, economic governance and improving the machinery of government since 2003.
Despite the austere living conditions and tropical heat, she said it has been the best experiences of her military career.
"The highlight for me was actually flying in to Solomon Islands and realising after 14 years of training in the Army Reserve and I was about to do my job for real," she said.
Her boss back home, Nowra East Public School Principal Michael Honeywood, said that just like her Army Reserve service, her role at the school was very difficult — and very important.
"We have 14 students from our area who apply and are put into that (support) program. We have essentially 14 angry young boys. We can teach them to overcome their behaviour issues. It takes a special kind of person to handle it because there's a lot of anger, a lot of violence, and a lot of difficult children," he said
Mr Honeywell was able to visit Corporal Garrett in Solomon Islands recently as part of Exercise BOSS LIFT, which is an Australian Defence Force program that gives employers of reservists the opportunity to experience a taste of life on operations for the Australian Defence Force Personnel they employ.
Once she finishes serving her country in early December, Corporal Garrett is looking forward to going back to serve her community at East Nowra Public School.
"I miss school very much. I'm heading back to school as soon as our welcome home parades are finished.
"I love working with the kids, they are very challenging but you really do get satisfaction. You see tiny milestones happen, you see the kids appreciate or get to do something they wouldn't normally get to do at home," she said.

Seagorath (シーゴラス Shīgorasu), also known as Seagoras, is a kaiju from the tokusatsu TV series, Return of Ultraman. Seagorath appeared in episodes 13, 14, and 37.
Subtitle: Tornado Monster (竜巻怪獣 Tatsumaki Kaijū)
- Height: 62 m
- Weight: 52,000 t
- Origin: West Irian Islands waters
Return of Ultraman
Appearing late one night with his mate, the two monsters Seagorath and Seamons attacked a ship full of diamonds and gems by using their weather-controlling powers. After attacking, they disappeared beneath the waves.
Later on, Seamons was having some trouble on land, as she was confronted by MAT, and so she called out to her mate. Seagorath heard the call and emerged from the bottom of the ocean to aid her. Using his own weather control powers, Seagorath created a tsunami hundreds of feet tall and directed it towards Japan. Hideki Goh transformed into Ultraman Jack then created an Ultra Barrier and successfully repelled the tsunami back at Seagorath subduing the monster, but lost most of his energy in the process. Seamons easily knocked around Jack, forcing him to leave. MAT then realized that Seamons and Seagorath are trying to mate and use the diamonds for preparation.
Later that day, Seamons was attacked again, this time by Japan's SDF. Seagorath soon appeared himself hearing Seamons call again and both mates used their powers to create a tornado to eliminate the SDF. To ensure they wouldn't attack his mate again, Seagorath stayed with his mate on dry land and the two began their mating process. The next day, Ultraman Jack returned to battle once again but he had a very difficult time dealing with both Seamons and Seagorath and their combined weather controlling powers. Luckily, a newly-tested Laser Gun SP-70 was created by MAT and fired at Seagorath's massive horn, successfully destroying it. Without their advantage of Seagorath's weather control, both mates retreated back into the ocean. Terror of the Tsunami Monsters, Tokyo's Big Pinch
Many months later, Alien Nackle revived both Seagorath and Bemstar to test Jack's strength in battle. Seagorath created another gigantic Tsunami, but like before Jack used his Ultra Barrier to repel the wave, and then proceeded to fight Seagorath. He then fired his Specium Ray, destroying Seagorath's horn. It is assumed that this killed Seagorath or another Seagorath as he was never seen again as Bemstar suddenly appeared to fight Jack. Ultraman Dies at Sunset
- Seagorath's facial design is likey to be modeled after a Rhinoceros, but the rest of his design seems to be inspired by early reconstruction drawings of dinosaurs such as Iguanodon and Megalosaurus.
- The explanation of how Seagorath and Seamons are mates is unknown, but it is possible that they are in fact the same species.
- What exactly happened to Seagorath after his first fight with Ultraman Jack is a mystery, it is assumed he died as he was "revived" by Alien Nackle along with Bemstar, however this is only displayed as Stock Footage from their previous episode appearances.
- While not appearing in the series himself, a silhouette of Seagorath is seen in the opening of Ultraman Ace.
- Seagorath was originally going to appear in this series (in episodes 7 and 8), but for some reason was replaced by Muruchi instead.
- Seagorath's head and horn were used to form the chimera monster, Tyrant.
- Seagorath and Seamons were seen in flashbacks of episode 14 of Return of Ultraman in episode 34 of Ultraman Leo.
- Seagorath can be seen as one of the fingers on Beryudora's right hand.
- Seagorath's roar would later be modified for the Ultraman 80 kaiju, Hoe.
- His appearence in Return of Ultraman was referenced by Ultraman Taro in New Ultraman Retsuden episode 12 as the monster that makes up Tyrant's head and horn.
- It is stated in a Japanese magazine at the time, that both Seagorath and Seamons returned to the ocean floor and had a few children called Minigoras.
- Seagorath was a part of Alien Empera's monster army during the Great Ultra War.
Ultraman Ginga
Seagorath was a combatant of the Dark Spark War until he was turned into a Spark Doll by Dark Lugiel. He was first seen in the Ultraman Ginga Theater Special as a Spark Doll in Alien Icarus's left hand. After stealing the rest of the Spark Dolls from Misuzu Isurugi, Seagorath, along with Red King, Baraba, Bemstar, Hanzagiran, and King Crab, was dark lived by Alien Icarus along with himself to form Tyrant. When Tyrant was defeated by Hikaru Raido as Ultraman Tiga and Tomoya Ichijouji as Jean-Nine, all of the monsters, including Seagorath, were turned back into Spark Dolls and were then collected by Hikaru and his friends.
In episode 7 of the series, he along with many other monster are seen cheering Ultraman Ginga on as he fights Dark Galberos.
It is likely that he returned to space in his original form after Ultraman Ginga defeated Dark Lugiel.
- In the special Ginga the Live!, Seagorath along with the other Tyrant monsters (except Alien Icarus) help to host along with Gomora and Alien Godola.
Powers and Weapons
- Weather Control: With the use of his horn, Seagorath is capable of controlling and manipulating the weather. He can kick up fierce storms and hurricanes and also create deadly tidal waves. When in the area of his mate, Seamons, this power is increased to the point where they can both devastate entire cities in mere minutes, creating tsunamis, tornadoes, sand and lightning storms, huricanes, etc.
- Horn Energy Lightning Bolts: Seagorath can fire a powerful, shocking beam-like bolt of electrical energy released from his nasal horn. This horn lightning bolt can both shock foes and create explosions.
- Adept Swimmer: Seagorath can swim at 98 knots.
- Howl: Whenever Seamons emits her help howl, Seagorath emits his respond howl to remind Seamons he's coming.
If the horn on Seagorath are broken off, he becomes completely powerless.
Spark Doll
"DarkLive, Red King! Seagorath! Bemstar! Hanzagiran! King Crab! Baraba! Icarus Seijin! Gattai, Tyrant!"
- ―Seagorath and other Spark Dolls Lived into Tyrant via Dark Dummy Spark
Seagorath became a Spark Doll in the conclusion of the Dark Spark War due to the Dark Spark's powers. His Spark Doll fell to Mt. Furuboshi in the Ultraman Ginga Theater Special along with all of the other Spark Dolls that make up Tyrant.
- Height: 14 cm
- Weight: 150 g
This Spark Doll has been used on by one alien:
- In the Theater Special, Alien Icarus DarkLived Red King, all of the other Spark Dolls that make up Tyrant and himself to form Tyrant. All of the Spark Dolls were turned back to normal after Alien Icarus lost against Hikaru Raido, who UltraLived into Ultraman Tiga, and Tomoya Ichijouji, inside Jean-Nine, with a combination of Tiga throwing Tyrant's energized hook right back at him and Jean-Nine performing Jean Stardust on him.
After Dark Lugiel's defeat, Seagorath's Spark Doll is likely to have reverted back to its original form and departed Earth to return home.
Seagorath was released 2 times in the Ultra Monster Series. Both having the same design and color one has a yellow belly and the other has a orange belly and both have yellow horns instead of white and have a great texture. He has 4 points of articulation. In 2013 he is released as part of the Ultra Monster 500 series. He has a more colored yellow belly, lighter in color and has a smoother texture and a white horn. He also has 4 points of articulation and is #16 in the series.

Media Release
Farewell bank fees: Experts vote account-keeping fee is next to go
- All 31 members of the finder.com.au RBA survey expect the cash rate to stay at 1.5% for October
- Following the removal of ATM fees, one third (6/18) think account-keeping fees are next to go
- Tips: How to avoid bank fees on savings accounts
2 October 2017, Sydney, Australia – Following the abolishment of ATM withdrawal fees among the Big Four, experts and economists believe account-keeping fees will be next on the chopping block, while no cash rate change is expected tomorrow (03/10/17), according to finder.com.au, the site that compares virtually everything.
In the latest finder.com.au RBA Survey, the largest of its kind in Australia, respondents gave a cash rate prediction for October 2017, and all 31 members predicted no change.
If the Reserve Bank of Australia holds the cash rate at the board meeting tomorrow, this will mark the 13th consecutive month of no change.
The longest the Bank has gone without making a move was 17 consecutive months which occurred from February 1995 through to July 1996, where the cash rate was held steady at 7.50%.
Eighty five per cent of experts and economists think the next move will be up, while a small remainder forecast a cash rate fall.
The survey found 11 of 26 economists forecast a rate rise in the coming financial year.
Graham Cooke, Insights Manager at finder.com.au, says mortgage holders may feel the pinch financially.
"Any increase in the cash rate could see homeowners squeezed by higher mortgage repayments if they don't have surplus cash up their sleeve," he says.
When predicting how low the rate will fall this cycle, 2 in 26 respondents think it will slide to 1.25% — justifying one more rate cut, — while a further 2 panellists think two or more rate cuts are in the pipeline.
Mr Cooke says a rate cut could come sooner than expected.
"While in the minority, the handful of experts and economists predicting a rate cut think it will happen sooner rather than later, and as early as February or March next year," he says.
After the big four removed ATM withdrawal fees for non-customers, one third of respondents (6 of 18) believe account-keeping fees may be next in line.
This echos sentiment of consumers as a finder.com.au poll found 30.2% of respondents would like to see account-keeping fees removed, followed by late payment fees on credit cards (15.5%) and overdraft fees (14.4%).
However, Mr Cooke says monthly account-keeping fees can be avoided on bank accounts.
"It's possible to find savings accounts with no account-keeping fees, so if you're currently forking out for this fee, it may be time to switch.
"Some banks also waive monthly fees if you're a full-time student or if you receive a disability pension," he says.
Sixty three per cent of panellists (12 of 19) believe banks are moving in the right direction.
"Eliminating ATM withdrawal fees is a sign of good faith, and shows some of the big players are trying to win over customers despite their bottom line taking a hit.
"We're likely to see similar initiatives rolled out by the banks as they attempt to provide greater transparency and a better overall banking experience," Mr Cooke says.
Interestingly, two thirds of panellists believe a Royal Commission into the banking industry is not required (13 of 19). However, the majority think a Royal Commission may still go ahead.
Here's what our experts had to say:
Jordan Eliseo, ABC Bullion (Hold): "The RBA has made it clear that it is in no rush to move on rates. They would be fairly pleased with what they are seeing take place in the economy, though a stubbornly high AUD, the persistent lack of wage growth, and elevated levels of household debt remain major concerns."
Tim Nelson, AGL Energy (Hold): "Nothing substantial has changed from the previous month."
Shane Oliver, AMP Capital (Hold): "Strong business conditions and jobs growth along with the RBA's own forecasts for a rise in growth and inflation point to an eventual rise in interest rates but slowing housing construction, risks around consumer spending including record low wages growth, low inflation and a too high Australian dollar indicate that it's too early to start raising rates now. So the RBA is likely to leave rates on hold for the 14th month in a row."
Alison Booth, ANI (Hold): "The fundamentals of the Australian economy do not currently warrant any change."
John Hewson, ANU (Hold): "Insufficient evidence to change - mounting risks and constraints."
Richard Robinson, BIS oxford Economics (Hold): "Although the RBA may want to cut to take pressure off the A$, which is too high, and also because inflation and wages growth is low, it is still concerned that a rate cut would stoke housing markets, which are already overpriced due to poor policies regarding negative gearing and capital gains taxes."
Paul Dales, Capital Economics (Hold): "The outlook for economic growth and inflation has improved in recent months, but not by enough to prompt the RBA to raise interest rates. In fact, I believe that rate hikes are a story for 2019 and not 2017 or 2018."
Michael Blythe, CBA (Hold): "Economy needs no further rates assistance but low inflation means little pressure to lift rates either."
Dr Andrew Wilson, Domain Group (Hold): "Longer-term stable view by RBA reinforced by better jobs data, improved federal budget position and fading Sydney house price growth. Stagnant incomes growth, subdued inflation and over-inflated currency remain the jokers in the pack. Not out of the woods yet."
Peter Gilmore, Gateway Credit Union (Hold): "Whilst Sydney and Melbourne property prices show some moderation, other key fundamentals for full recovery are still fragile, so the RBA will hold again."
Peter Haller, Heritage Bank (Hold): "The recent flow of economic data does not warrant any change to current interest rate settings."
Shane Garrett, Housing Industry Association (Hold): "The balance between growth and inflationary pressures does not require intervention at this point."
Paul Bloxham, HSBC (Hold): "Waiting for CPI [inflation] numbers."
Alex Joiner, IFM Investors (Hold): "No reason to hike on economic grounds."
Michael Witts, ING (Hold): "The economy is heading in the right direction and there is no need for RBA action at this stage."
Leanne Pilkington, Laing+Simmons (Hold): "The situation from month to month remains relatively unchanged. The RBA may be optimistic about the outlook for household income and expenditure, but there are other factors with the potential to temper this optimism. In any event, we see the steady rate environment holding for the remainder of the year and into Q1 2018."
Nicholas Gruen, Lateral Economics (Hold): "They're waiting for a reason to hike the rate but don't yet have it."
Stephen Koukoulas, Market Economics (Hold): "It has signalled it will hold until it sees evidence to make it change its mind."
John Caelli, ME (Hold): "The RBA has clearly signalled that the next move will be up."
Michael Yardney, Metropole (Hold): "Australia's economy is still operating below its potential with economic growth not strong enough to justify an interest rate increase. The positive improvements of falling unemployment and rises in full-time employment are offset by slow growth in household income."
Mark Crosby, Monash Business School (Hold): "Despite signs of a strengthening economy the global rates outlook is still some way from normalising, and the RBA will sit for a while longer before raising."
Jessica Darnbrough, Mortgage Choice (Hold): "The economy is tracking along quite well at the moment, so there is no real need for the Reserve Bank to adjust their current stance on monetary policy. It is clear the Board believe that the current plan of attack is consistent with achieving the inflation target over time."
Saul Eslake, Economist (Hold): "RBA has made it clear it has no appetite for lowering rates any further; but conversely nor is it in any hurry to start raising them. RBA will have drawn some comfort from data releases since the last meeting, but will see them as supporting its current set of forecasts rather than warranting upward revisions to them."
Jonathan Chancellor, Property Observer (Hold): "The economy is only inching its way closer to where the central banks desires."
Matthew Peter, QIC (Hold): "Growth and inflation outlook are still too soft for the RBA to consider hiking rates. Persistent house-market pressure preclude rate cuts."
Noel Whittaker, QUT (Hold): "I don't think they're ready to move just yet. The Aussie dollar is down a little."
Nerida Conisbee, realestate.com.au (Hold): "The economy is too weak to increase rates and the housing market is too sensitive to cuts to decrease them. It is likely the next move is up but it is unlikely to happen soon."
Christine Williams, Smarter Property Investing Pty Ltd (Hold): "From last month to this month our GDP has not moved. Unemployment has leveled out in most states. With some states noting a slight reduction in unemployment."
Brian Parker, Sunsuper (Hold): "Nothing happened in the last month to force them to change policy."
Clement Tisdell, UQ-School of Economics (Hold): "Bank statements [is what we are waiting on]."
Bill Evans, Westpac (Hold): "We still expect the RBA to keep the cash rate on hold through the remainder of 2017; 2018 and to the middle of 2019, predicated on our central call of "flat" house price growth through next year and 2019."

The site helps teachers know they are not alone. Mark Niason-professor at Fordham and co-founder parent advocate Priscilla Sanstead bring many together to fight the good fight. Many state BAT groups are forming. BAT is increasingly making an impact with their voice and have the backing of high profile educators from around the country.

Deborah Meier on Education showcasts her positive influence on the education of children. Since it is easier to put the bio from her website, instead of leaving something out, that is what I am doing. But it is frustrating because I realize that it is still impossible not to leave something out…. She has made so many contributions. I don't need to tell educators this—they know! Many parents I'm sure know about her too, but parents if you don't know of Deborah Meier you are missing out….
"Deborah Meier is a senior scholar at NYU's Steinhardt School, and Board member of the Coalition of Essential Schools, FairTest, SOS and Dissent and The Nation magazines. She spent 45 years working in K-12th grade public schools in New York City (East Harlem) and Boston (Roxbury) including leadership of several highly successful small democratically run public urban schools–the Central Park East schools and Mission Hill. Her books include The Power of Their Ideas and In Schools We Trust. In 1987 she was the first educator to receive a McArthur 'genius' Award and currently blogs for Ed Week with different education thinkers on the big issues affecting students, teachers, and schools (Bridging Differences)."
I got to meet Deborah Meier at a Save Our Schools meeting in 2012. She is truly cool—very down to earth, funny, and common sense and it is no wonder she writes a column called Bridging Differences. Two tremendous words very much needed in the conversation about education. Did I also say she is a fierce defender of democratic schools?
Edutopia: The George Lucas Education Foundation is a nonprofit foundation which advocates exemplary programs for K-12 public schools across the nation. Their website describes these programs and includes the arts. The foundation also produces a magazine called Edutopia and other resources.
Future Educators Association (FEA) is one answer to encouraging young people in high school to become teachers. What kind of teachers will America have in the future? The FEA is an international group, sponsored by Phi Delta Kappa, dedicated to encouraging and supporting young people in their interest to become educators. FEA provides scholarships and helps high school students to explore activities and materials involving teaching.
Get Schooled with Maureen Downey is an Atlanta blog with timely discussions about schools that are important for parents and educators around the country. I often disagree with her, but her blog and the comments are engaging. Watch also for her columns in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
Great Schools for America was started in 2009 by teacher Debby Mayer. She wanted to help educators find jobs and "promote quality schools." Colleagues Judy Eustice and Hazel Tribble joined her efforts advocating quality public schools free from "corporate control." Their mission "– to provide every child with the same great educational opportunities we would want for our own children: locally controlled, fully-funded, free public schools unfettered by corporate interests; professionally educated teachers; and child-centered – not test-centered – curriculum."
Living in Dialogue started out as an Education Week blog once written by educator Anthony Cody who now has his own blog with the same name. The old posts are always interesting and still timely and could be listed under any of the headings on this website. But teachers know Anthony as one of their own so I posted about his blog under educators and activism. In the new Living in Dialogue Anthony shares the ideas and thoughts of many educators and activists concerned with education issues.
National Network for Educational Renewal (NNER) was founded by educational researcher John Goodland. The organization works to provide "equal access to quality learning for all students, promoting responsible stewardship of our schools and universities, improving teaching and learning through pedagogy that nurtures and challenges all learners, and providing students with the knowledge, skills, and dispositions to become fully engaged participants in our democratic society." School/university partnerships are emphasized.
Rosanne Wood: Perspectives of a Principal is a blog by someone who I admire very much. Rosanne was principal of a school for students who needed an alternative way of learning. SAIL (School for Arts and Innovative Learning) was that school, and it is still helping students and parents find their way through her activism. Both SAIL and Rosanne have won many awards, and Rosanne's presence is still felt by her leadership on many community boards. Her blog is well-written and informative like you would expect from a great principal and educator. She is also running for the Leon County School Board and I am sure would appreciate your support.
The Network of Teacher Activist Groups (TAG) is a Chicago-based organization to create a national coalition of grassroots teacher organizing groups. Together, we engage in shared political education and relationship building in order to work for educational justice both nationally and in our local communities.
TAG believes that education is essential to the preservation of civil and human rights and is a tool of human liberation.

NYC Educator is a blog primarily for New York City teachers, but has interesting topics pertinent to all teachers.
Othmar's Trombone is a blog by a U.K. English teacher discussing many education topics including a glossary of U.K. education words.
ProTeacher Community (PT)–a website with a lot of threads where teachers can find support for issues they face in the classroom. There is also a JOB SEARCH link. Mostly this site appears to be for early childhood and elementary school, but other areas like special education are included. It's Free! But you must sign up. "All of our boards are intended exclusively for professional school teachers and staff (including classroom teachers, specialists, substitute teachers, administrators, paraprofessionals, and student teachers) working in early childhood, elementary, middle and high school. New teachers are especially welcome! We also welcome future teachers, 18 years of age or older, preparing for careers in the field of education; and retired and former school teachers with a continuing professional interest in teaching. We are NOT a parenting or homeschooling site.
Reporters, authors, parents, and all others seeking teacher opinions should contact ProTeacher for permission prior to posting."
Stories from School: Practice Meets Policy is from Washington, amd there are quite a few teacher leader authors who contribute to this Blog and they also have an award sticker from the Washington Post, so I'm sold. But really the posts are interesting and cover new ground to consider.
Teachers for Social Justice (TSJ) is a Chicago organization of teachers, administrators, pre-service teachers, and other educators working in public, independent, alternative, and charter schools and universities in the Chicago area. They came together based on their commitment to education for social justice and their work to create diversity with multicultural/multilingual classrooms. They want good, fair but caring education that provides students with the understanding to ask questions in the world. The group also works on campaigns and to assist educators in getting their voices into the discussion of school policy.
Teacher in a Strange Land is Nancy Flanagan who is well-respected and has a nice writing style with her blog at Education Week. She often nails it when it comes to public school issues. One gets the sense they are sitting and having a cup of coffee with her when they read her posts. Teachers need all the friends they can get these days, and Nancy Flanagan is a friend to teachers. That's because she is one herself.
Teachers' Letters to Bill Gates includes, "Educators from the U.S. and beyond" share there poignant teaching stories with Bill Gates. They tell how the education policies of the Gates Foundation have influenced their classroom, the students, their teaching schools and the communities. The letters are heartfelt. Are Mr. and Mrs. Gates listening?

Is Someone you Know a Heroin Addict? How you can Tell
Since the recent crackdown on prescription painkillers, more and more people are turning towards one of the only opiate alternatives there is, heroin. Despite the known dangers of heroin, people still use it. In some cases, it takes the place of expensive doctor's office visits and even more expensive prescription drugs. In other cases, it stops a recreational prescription opiate addict from having to hunt down their prescription opiates and gives them an easy and cheap alternative. It is a dangerous transition but it happens every day. There are millions of people who are currently untreated heroin addiction, chances are someone you know or even some you love is or has been an addict. So how do you tell when someone is on heroin?
They Overdose
This might seem obvious but a heroin overdose does not always mean death and it is not as noticeable as you might think. Some of the simple signs of overdose are:
- Loss of consciousness – this might seem like someone is sleeping or simply passed out after a night of partying. It might not happen suddenly as you would expect.
- Nodding out – seemingly falling asleep during a conversation or nodding off and waking up suddenly
- Awake but unresponsive – in this case the person is awake but not awake. They look like they are fine but cannot respond to you or talk.
- Small pupils – another simple sign is pinprick or smaller pupils.
These are not the dramatic signs of an overdose but they are the very beginning of what could be a serious problem.
Track Marks
Experienced addicts know how to hide these. When someone is on heroin and takes it through an injection, they develop small circular scars where they choose to inject. In inexperienced addicts this is usually the arms but they can show up in places like between toes or fingers. Not all heroin addicts have track marks but it is a classic sign of heroin addiction.
Withdrawal Symptoms
It is difficult to use heroin constantly and not eventually run out and go into withdrawal. When someone first starts taking heroin, they have a mild withdrawal period. This quickly changes. Heroin withdrawal includes nausea, vomiting, shaking, tremors, joint and muscle pain, anxiety, and depression. These are not the only symptoms; they are just the most common. If you know someone who is a heroin addict there is a good chance that you've seen withdrawal symptoms.
Seemingly Random Health Problems
One of the most common signs of heroin addiction is abscesses. Since many addicts are not as hygienic as they should be, abscesses are very common at injections sites. Other health problems are chronic infections of all types. These infections can range from a constant cold or flu to serious infections such as HIV or AIDS. Although this is not a clear sign, when someone suffers from chronic ongoing infections, it is a good sign that they are somehow weakening their immune system.
Although each of these symptoms when taken separately are not necessarily a sign of a heroin addict, when you see more than one sign it is cause for suspicion. When you witness these signs, you might want to consider heroin addiction as a possibility.

I used to like to go fast, really fast. My personal "best feel of speed" came from flying inverted at somewhere around 150 mph, just a few feet off the ground. (Not sure how few, more than 10, less than 20.) I once did mac 1.5 inverted, just feet above the ground. But that was in an FA-18 sim so, though the sensation of speed was pretty real, it doesn't really count as moving at the speed of heat. (I'm not a big fan of the military but I will say this, they have some of the world's coolest toys.)
A close second was 160+ on a motorcycle. Third was any speed through a corner fast enough to get a knee down close to or on the road, again on a motorcycle. (I wonder if anyone has done that on a bicycle, maybe at the bottom of a steep hill?) Oddly enough, flying a jet at 500+ mph never felt that fast. Still, once upon a time on a flight from Little Rock to Chicago in a CRJ700 with its mach .87 cruise speed, and being pushed by a jet core of nearly 200 knots, we were crossing the ground at better than the speed of sound. Chicago sure came up in a hurry that day.
But sailors don't go fast, measuring trips in days. We measured three days of travel to get from Vero Beach to Daytona, though it looks like it will take five. After the first day the forecast turned a bit sour, with heavy rain, thunderstorms, and tornadoes...again. It seemed prudent to put some land between us and the wind, so we nestled into a place called Eau Gallie NW. The Mantus went down at the end of nearly 100 feet of chain and was set hard. Day one and the weather faded with a stalled front. Lots of rain with just a bit of wind. Day two has been more of the same. We hope to be on our way again tomorrow. Estimated time of arrival in Daytona, sometime on Saturday.
I have gotten used to moving at human speeds rather than machine speeds. In fact I've grown kind of partial to it. The fact is most of us are not really going much of anywhere. The journey that we make through life is one of the heart and the head, not so much the feet. And to get anywhere important in the heart, or the head, means being connected with the world, taking time with the people, being passed by dolphins, and moving in concert with the weather. In the journey that matters, the more we hurry the less distance we cover.
It is impossible to hurry on a sailboat.

If you've been reading for awhile, you know that I'm a big Disney fan. Actually, to be precise, I'm a big Disney parks fan. Being a Disneyland annual passholder, I go quite often. I started making mouse ear headbands to wear to the parks and decided to start selling them as well! I have some ideas for other items to sell also, but until those ideas go through development, I'll be selling just ears. for now.
Please feel free to check out my shop at the link above. My shop's main social media account is on Instagram (I post more frequently there), but the shop is also on Facebook. I also share pictures of my Disney adventures on Instagram.

Inspired by Chance
Jerzy Kosinski's Being There (1979)
Andrew Pulver
Saturday 13 November 2004
Author: Jerzy Kosinski (1933-91) survived the Nazi invasion of Poland (during which he apparently lost the power of speech) and became an academic in the communist regime. He emigrated to the US in 1957 and his first novel, The Painted Bird (1965), became a key addition to "Holocaust literature".
Having fortuitously avoided the Manson murders in 1969 - he was due to be Sharon Tate's dinner guest, but missing luggage meant he cancelled his visit - Kosinski completed Being There in 1970. His literary celebrity was assured - he even took a sizeable role in Reds (1981), playing a Bolshevik. However, in 1982, an article in the Village Voice accused him of plagiarism, as Being There was apparently taken from a Polish bestseller, The Career of Nikodem Dyzmy by Tadeusz Dolega-Mostowicz. Depressed by the reception of his subsequent work as he tried to prove his credentials, Kosinski committed suicide in 1991 after taking an overdose and taping a plastic bag over his head.
Story: A modern equivalent of the "feral child" tales popular in central Europe in the 18th and 19th centuries, Being There focuses on the figure of Chance the gardener, raised in complete isolation, except for TV.
Forced to leave the house where he lives and works by the death of his employer, Chance is taken in by an influential financier, Benjamin Rand, and his young wife, Eve, after a car accident. Known as Chauncey Gardiner after his name is misheard, Chance becomes a celebrity after his simple pronouncements about gardening are taken as meaningful political metaphors.
Eve falls in love with him, and plans to marry a bewildered Chance after Rand's death.
Film-makers: Hal Ashby (1929-88) was Norman Jewison's editor in the 1960s, working on The Cincinatti Kid (1965) and The Thomas Crown Affair (1968).
As a director, he became a key figure in the Hollywood new wave of the 1970s with Harold and Maude and The Last Detail, before finding popular success with Shampoo and one of the first post-Vietnam films, Coming Home. Playing Chance had been a long-term ambition for Peter Sellers. He sent Kosinski a telegram soon after the book's publication. But it was only towards the end of his life, when he was already ill with heart trouble, that he could get the project off the ground.
How book and film compare: Kosinski worked on the screenplay, and the film follows the path of the novel scrupulously. Kosinski inserts considerable embroidery and adds extra scenes, such as Chance's confrontation with the teen gang on his first day in the street.
The film's iconic sequence of Chance walking across the surface of a cemetery lake, however, was a last-minute inspiration of Ashby's. Ashby also personally edited in his preferred end-sequence - of Sellers repeatedly messing up a line - in all the cinemas showing the film on its first release after the producers refused it.
Inspirations and influences: The kind of symbiotic relationship with TV that Chance enjoyed became a popular theme in ensuing decades, from Martin Scorsese's The King of Comedy (1983), which elaborated on the idea of a viewer confusing TV and reality, to Ben Stiller's The Cable Guy (1996), in which a TV obsessive has no identity other than the one that he culls from the airwaves.
