It's fair to say that property investment is popular in Australia. Many investors, though, cannot afford to buy an entire property. A number of ways to pool investors' funds exist, including trusts, A-REITs and syndicates – but another option is fractional property investing.
What is Fractional Property Investing?
Fractional property investing allows investors to buy a portion of a property, so you get all the benefits of holding property without the upfront expense and ongoing hassle.
In traditional property investment, the investor buys an investment property and receives rent from their tenants living there. In fractional property investment, the investor buys a portion or a "fraction" of an investment property.
Much like owning units in a managed fund, fractional property investment means the investor owns a "share of" the property. They are entitled to a portion of the rent from the tenants at the property, and a portion of the property value if it is sold.
This is very similar to being able to buy shares of specific companies using a stockbroker, something that a large number of investors are familiar with.
One institution offering fractional property investing is DomaCom.
So how does investing with DomaCom work?
The DomaCom Fund allows investors to select and invest in specific properties using a fractional or crowd funding process within a Managed Investment Scheme (MIS) structure.
DomaCom is regulated as a managed fund, which enables it to work with the financial planning community who can provide advice to their clients to invest in parts of specific properties without the need to borrow, satisfying their allocation to this major asset class.
DomaCom's primary target market is the Self Managed Superannuation Fund (SMSF) segment being advised on by financial planners and accountants. Similar to listing on the ASX, DomaCom has a Bookbuild process (crowd funding/syndication) to purchase a property. The DomaCom Fund also has an ASIC-approved online secondary market where investors can buy and sell their units just like they would trade shares of an ASX-listed company.
What are the potential benefits of fractional property investing?
DomaCom lists the following potential benefits of its investment model:
- Investors can invest in any properties of their choice in Australia (that are for sale) without purchasing the whole property. It has been demonstrated that Australian investors (particularly SMSFs) like engagement with their investment selection.
- Investors do not need to borrow large amounts to invest in specific properties, hence minimising the investment risk.
- Investors can diversify across multiple properties as the minimum investment for each property sub-fund is $2K.
- Investors can invest in properties from as little as $20K, which means they can get on the property ladder much earlier in their investment life cycle.
- There is no debt in the DomaCom sub-funds and consequently, investors are not exposed to credit market risks.
- Investors in the DomaCom Fund get pure exposure to property.
- Investors in the Fund can vote to wind up the sub-fund and there is an ASIC approved secondary market for units, which means there will be a way to exit your investment.
Any property investment is not without risks, of course. There is economic risk and even if there is a secondary market should you wish to sell your units in some or all of your investments, selling is still reliant on finding a buyer.

Odell Beckham Jerseys Jr. returns from his one-game suspension in the New York Giants Jerseys' season finale versus the Philadelphia Eagles Jerseys. While the second-year receiver said he's learned a valuable lesson wholesale jerseys, he won't change how he plays.
authentic nfl jerseys from china
"I don't think anything's going to change except learning from this experience," Beckham said Wednesday, via ESPN.com. "I don't think I'm going china jerseys nfl to play with any less intensity. I don't think I'm going to play with any less emotion."

Beckham incurred three personal foul penalties for aggressive and violent on-field actions in a Week 15 loss to the Carolina Panthers Jerseys. We've elaborated in this space how OBJ got the better of corner Josh Norman Jerseys between the whistles. However, the Panthers got in Beckham's head, leading to several post-play battles, including a helmet-to-helmet blow from Beckham that helped cheap nfl jerseys lead to the suspension.

When asked if he'd seen video of his behavior he replied he had and said: "I take responsibility for my actions, I learn from it, and it's all good."
It was clear from the debacle that took place in Minnesota sans Beckham that the wideout is the team's MVP. He's the only offensive player who can win or stress a defense. Beckham said it bothered him that his actions hurt his team and were a poor example for young Giants fans.
"It's just unfortunate," Beckham said. "You never want to do that on the field. To be caught up in such a moment, you don't want to put the team in that situation and you don't want to show that to kids. I wasn't controlling myself and I ended up hurting my team. It's poor sportsmanship and not something you want to put on film. Everything is under your control and ultimately it's up to you. You can't do that type of stuff."

This application note describes a more rapid chromatographic methodology for enantiomeric and diastereomeric separation and detection by using a combination of ACQUITY UPC2 and Trefoil chiral columns.
The development of analytical methods for the separation of chiral compounds is important in many areas of research, as it is well known that different enantiomers are selectively biologically active.1 Biochemical reactions can be diastereo or enantioselective. While one isomer may deliver the desired effect to the target species, the other enantiomer may be less effective to the target, completely ineffective, or cause undesirable effects. Additionally, it is known that different isomers can have very different environmental fates. It is estimated that 20 to 30% of pesticides on the market today have optical isomers, and there are reports that 40% of the pesticides used in China are chiral.1,2 The study of enantioselectivity is important to the crop protection industry, since the knowledge of the efficacy of each individual enantiomer could facilitate a significant reduction in the total amount of pesticide applied.
In order to improve our knowledge of the stereoisomeric compositions of these substances, analytical methods that provide reliable and reproducible separations in a rapid time frame are necessary. Supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC) is known as an effective chiral separations technique that has many advantages over conventional high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC).3,4 The properties of the supercritical fluid, such as low viscosity and high diffusivity, allow for the achievement of very high efficiency separations with shorter analysis times.5
In this application note we present the enantiomeric and/or diastereomeric resolutions of 12 triazole fungicides (Figure 1) using Waters Trefoil Column Technology. Trefoil Columns use a modified polysaccharide chiral stationary phase (CSP) with a 2.5 μm particle designed for broad-spectrum chiral selectivity. Resolutions were performed using an UltraPerformance Convergence Chromatography (UPC2) System. Convergence chromatography is a complimentary separation technique to liquid chromatography, that provides orthogonal selectivity, and uses supercritical CO2 as the primary mobile phase.
All separations were performed using the ACQUITY UPC2 System. Detection was by ACQUITY UPC2 Photodiode Array (PDA) Detector. Empower 3 Software was used for chromatographic data acquisition and processing.
Racemic pesticide standards were purchased from AccuStandard (New Haven, CT) The pesticide standards were prepared in methanol at a concentration of 1 mg/mL with the exception of cyproconazole and uniconazole which were purchased as 100 μg/mL stocks in methanol and acetonitrile respectively.
Method development for the stereoselective resolution of the technical grade fungicides began by using a generic screening gradient with a number of chiral columns and co-solvents, for example methanol, ethanol, 2-propanol, or mixtures of each. The ACQUITY UPC2 System has multi-column switching capabilities and a choice of four co-solvents. The screening step can be completed rapidly, due to the shorter analysis times that are possible using this technique. The combination of the co-solvent and column that produced the most promising separation for each compound was then selected for further optimization. The selectivity in a chiral separation can change markedly by varying the temperature, pressure, and flow rates.5
Separations in chiral chromatography typically result from multiple interactions between analytes and stationary phases. These interactions can be influenced differently by changing the experimental parameters to produce desired changes in the chromatography. Consequently, each parameter including temperature, pressure, and flow rate should be systematically evaluated to investigate the individual effects each change can have on the compound resolution. A summary of the selected analysis conditions is shown in Table 1.
The chromatograms resulting from the optimized gradient separations of the racemic mixtures of triadimefon, tetraconazole, fenbuconazole, diniconazole, tebuconazole, and flutriafol are shown in Figure 2. In each case, the optimum column was a Trefoil AMY1 (3.0 x 150 mm, 2.5-μm , p/n 186007460), and the optimum co-solvent was methanol.
Baseline Rs was achieved for all pesticides in less than 1.5 minutes. Optimized resolutions for the racemic mixtures of uniconazole, penconazole and hexaconazole are shown in Figure 3. The optimum column in these cases was also a Trefoil AMY1, 3.0 x 150 mm, 2.5-μm, and the optimum co-solvent was 50:50 2-propanol/ethanol. Baseline resolution was achieved rapidly (less than 1.2 min) for the enantiomers of each triazole fungicide.
The chiral resolutions of propiconazole, cyproconazole, and bromuconazole, each with two chiral centers in their chemical structures, are shown in Figure 4. Despite the increase in the stereochemical complexity in the structures of these compounds, Rs values of >1.75 were achieved for all of the stereoisomers of each pesticide. The chiral separation of propiconazole is possible in less than 2.8 minutes using the ACQUITY UPC2 Trefoil AMY1 CSP Column (3.0 x 150 mm, 2.5-μm, p/n 186007464).
The optimum column in the case of cyproconazole and bromuconazole was the ACQUITY UPC2 Trefoil CEL1, 3.0 x 150 mm, 2.5-μm. The resolution of both triazole fungicides is possible in less than 4.5 minutes.
A review of the literature indicates that when using normal phase high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), the chiral resolution of propiconazole is possible in 34 min, and the enantiomeric resolution of tebuconazole ranged from 17 to 45 min.6-11 Similar resolutions were achieved for propiconazole and tebuconazole using traditional SFC, but the analysis times were reduced to 10 minutes and 10.5 minutes, respectively.4
The literature search also revealed two reviews6,8 showing that the chiral resolutions of the test compounds using UPC2 can be achieved much faster compared to reverse phase12-19 (3 to 30X), normal phase6-11 (8 to 40X), and conventional SFC4,20 (3 to 10X) separations.
The optimized ACQUITY UPC2 methods developed in this work allow increased sample throughput and improved enantiomeric resolutions, especially when compounds with multiple chiral centers are analyzed.
Reproducibility data (n=8) for retention time, area, area%, height, and USP resolution for bromuconazole are shown in Table 2. The %RSD's were less than or equal to 0.60% for all of the stereoisomers.
The study of enantioselectivity is important to the crop protection industry since the knowledge of the efficacy of a more biologically active individualenantiomer could facilitate a significant reduction in the total amount of pesticide applied and result in a more marketable product. The rapid enantioseparation of chiral pesticides has previously been challenging due to the difficulty in chromatographically resolving them in short analysis times. This application note highlights a more rapid chromatographic methodology for enantiomeric and diastereomeric separation and detection by using a combination of ACQUITY UPC2 and Trefoil chiral columns. The result was a highly efficient stereoselective separation of 12 triazole fungicides using two CSP's. Further, the methodology shown in this work improves the sample throughput compared with LC-based chiral separations.5-19 The %RSD's (n=8) for retention time, area, area%, height, and USP resolution for bromuconazole were less than or equal to 0.60% for all of the stereoisomers. These methods use supercritical CO2 as the primary mobile phase and alcohol modifiers as the co-solvents. The need to use large volumes of potentially hazardous solvents that are routinely used in normal phase chiral separations is reduced, as well as the cost associated with solvent waste disposal.

Outaouais' Forest History
Did you know that Philemon Wright was the first oversease lumber exporter in the 1800's?
After Napoleon's Continental blockade in 1807 prohibited European countries from trading with Great Britain, Canadian timber flooded the British market. In fact, the introduction of the new tariffs created an accelerated growth of the timber trade.
It's in this context that Philemon Wright and his men assembled the first great square timber raft that was scheduled to leave from the mouth of the Gatineau River on June 11th, 1806. The Ottawa Valley timber trade that took off at that point in time would be Wright's financial lifeline.

Differences Between American and British English By Kenneth Beare While there are certainly many more varieties of English, American English and British English are the two varieties that are taught in most ESL/EFL programs. Generally, it is agreed that no one version is "correct" however, there are certainly preferences in use. The three major differences between between American and British English are: Pronunciation - differences in both vowel and consonants, as well as stress and intonation Vocabulary - differences in nouns and verbs, especially phrasal verb usage Spelling - differences are generally found in certain prefix and suffix forms

Genetic genealogist Blaine Bettinger has a fantastic post dissecting and contextualising a rather worrying result from his personal genomic analysis: a 50-60% increased lifetime risk of type 2 diabetes.Blaine is unfortunate enough to be among the 1-2% of individuals who carry two risky versions at each of three major risk variants for the disease. (It's worth noting that type 2 diabetes risk is determined by many different genetic variants, most of which remain unknown, as well as environmental factors - so Blaine's discovery is very far from a certain diagnosis of the disease.)Blaine's attitude towards the results is admirably pragmatic:> I, personally, am not afraid of my genetic information. I'm not afraid of any potential psychological effects it might have, nor am I afraid of any repercussions of sharing my genetic information with others. It is certainly clear that I lost the genetic lottery when it comes to diabetes risk, but there is no genome so perfect that it lacks at least one serious risk.
For me personally, interpreting my genotype is no more dangerous than the receiving the results of a home glucose test. Indeed, the results of the glucose test represent a current reality while the genotype merely suggests a future possibility.
I also applaud his decision to share this information with the world, a very personal way of demonstrating the spirit of openness to genetic data that he has consistently advocated in his posts. I completely agree with his reasoning here:
Although I won't go so far as to say that there is never any danger to anyone upon receiving genetic information, I will go so far as to say that it should be the individual, not the government, that decides whether the danger exists.
Amen. Subscribe to Genetic Future.

DEV... You shoot a bow frequently, right? Who would you say is our "resident" bow expert here on TSP?I don't know any experts, only students. ;)
I don't know any experts, only students. ;)
Yes, I shoot just about everyday. Both the longbow & the recurve. I don't shoot compounds anymore & I have absolutely no use for the crossbow.
TW really wants a recurve or a long bow. I want a compound. I'm looking forward to getting into archery next year, when the economy stabilizes.
SW, I loved my recurve, just couldn't shoot it because it was bassackwards for me being a lefty. Do you have YMCA/YWCA's in Ca? They offer some courses on bows I think.
We'll go back to the little archery shop, and kidnap that teenager and take him with us to Bass Pro Shop someday. :D
SW, I loved my recurve, just couldn't shoot it because it was bassackwards for me being a lefty. Do you have YMCA/YWCA's in Ca? They offer some courses on bows I think.Tim, I wished I'd known you were a lefty.
Tim, I wished I'd known you were a lefty.
I got rid of a real nice vintage Bear not too long ago that I actually bought because it was too cheap not to. It was a lefty model. I'd have sent it to you instead. I had it for a few years & besides shooting it a few times to make sure it was okay, it mostly hung on my wall.
Sis, I would definitely spend my money with the kid at the little archery shop before going to a big box store. There probably isn't anything the big box has that the kid can't get for you anyway. The down side being that the price may be a little higher but then I'm usually willing to spend a little more with the local merchants especially when they have good service and are knowledgeable.
If TW hasn't looked at them yet Martin (http://www.martinarchery.com/traditionalbows.php) makes some nice bows. I really like the Bamboo Viper and the X-200. Bear (http://www.beararcheryproducts.com/bows/traditional/) also has some nice stuff but the draw on most of them are too much for me. If he is interested in a takedown with an aluminum riser, I hear good things about the Hoyt Dorado (http://www.hoyt.com/recurve_bows/hoyt_recurve_bows_hunting.php).
Yes, I am a wuss, but a FIERCE little wuss.
Oh we will DEFINITELY buy from the kid, even if the bows are 50% more expensive. Knowing that we can go back and talk to him about it is a sell right there. But it'd be nice to hold a few nice, pretty, wood ones, and have their merits (or downsides) explained to us before choosing which one to have him order in for TW, and the only recurves he had in his shop were take down, fiberglass, camoflauged ones, and that's NOT what TW wants.
I'm so excited for you! The fact that you're getting into archery right now is just awesome!
my question is could they both shoot the same arrows or is arrow length very specific to each bow ?Arrow length has very little to do with the bow, it has everything to do with your draw length....that is, how far you draw to anchor. You should have someone who knows what they're doing measure your draw length for you before you even think about buying arrows.
I don't get exactly how ebay works, but it listed the highest bid as $38, every time I added a higher bid it instantly said I had been outbid, so that the price went up to $49 in about the span of 10 minutes with 5 bids. What I'd really like to know is how heavy the bow is itself for back packing etc. but it seems like the price keeps going up anyway and the bids run out tommorow
hey, I found an archery podcast on ITunes: http://bowcast.com (http://bowcast.com)
Anyway, what I like about archery is the zen aspect of it. Target practice is sort of like meditation and helps with concentration ..
yea, I eventually figured it out, there is a bid and a max bid. Right now I am the highest
Is 40 too light for deer ? I had thought of getting a 45.A 40# bow will kill white tail deer just as dead as a 50# bow will. Shot placement is the important factor. A lighter bow may not be as snappy as a heavier bow, but it also may not make much difference if the bow shoots well, & the shooter shoots even better.
The reviews for the martin bow seem good, the pse impala has decent reviews as well, though slightly worse. I heard someone say martin would make a better bow than pse. The jag I think is just coming out or the production is being scaled up maybe. They had showed me the display model at a shop in maine, but they are not selling them until september if they cut a deal with martin I guess.PSE bows are okay. I had a PSE Kudu 50#er. The Martin will be a little more refined, which basically just means it'll be prettier & more finished looking. The limbs on the lower end PSE's aren't what I would consider nice looking. Pretty plain as a matter of fact.
Could a 50 pound recurve shoot wooden arrows ? Is it hard to buy arrow blanks and put the feathers on and would you save much doing that ?
I'm still not sure if a 40 pound pull is too light, maybe it is I guess ..Consider this when deciding on what poundage you want to go with on your first bow. A lower poundage will allow you to practice form & drawing to anchor much more easily than a heavier poundage bow. Form & drawing to anchor are IMO the two most important factors for new archers. Without understanding & mastering these two things you'll have a tough time becoming, & staying proficient. Trad archery is very much about muscle memory.
I'd check your State hunting laws as to minimum allowable draw weights for bow hunting first.
Recently I have been considering alternatives to firearms with an eye towards things that depend less on consumables that I couldn't make myself. I considered black powder but with the exception of the flintlock and older designs they rely on primers/percussion caps but flint isn't exactly common around here so with the possible exception of the CVA Electra I don't think that is quite what I am looking for.
Build yourself a board bow. They are remarkable easy. Easier than you can imagine.
dude, I was the highest bidder until 30 seconds before bidding ended, I think I should have kept quiet on here.

"Signs, signs everywhere signs, blocking out the scenery, breaking my mind, do this don't do that, can't you read the signs?"
You may recognize that as lyrics to a 1970 protest song, but there is an important message in those words.
Did you know there are six "No Dogs Allowed In The Park" signs posted along the east side of Ross Park facing South Second Avenue? Most people don't notice until the park regulation is pointed out to them. There have been so many dogs loose in the park it seems funny to even have the signs up if no one pays any attention to the restriction.
There is another group of signs that are posted along that stretch of road running through the park that pertain to the speed limit. Seems this year there were more than a few motorists who didn't read them and had an opportunity to meet with Pocatello's finest. I'm sure our traffic patrol officers were quick to remind those offenders of the correct mile per hour limit while in Ross Park. However, depending on the season, the limits do change; slower in the summer for park visitor safety and to allow the park and zoo maintenance vehicles to safely navigate the grounds.
But there was yet another sign in the park this summer: the Cheyenne Crossing project, which has been underway for most of the year. The construction site went through stages where it wasn't safe for traffic to pass, and warning of the travel status of the road was a big electric sign informing drivers that the avenue was closed during the hours of 6 a.m. to 5 p.m. It was interesting to see how many drivers paid no attention to the warning on that big flashing message board. Those motorists who were on their cellphones were the biggest offenders.
Public policy messages seem to be some of the most overlooked signs in the city as a plumbing crew recently found out while inspecting Pocatello's downtown fountain. What they found was that someone not only ignored the posting but also threw good sense right out the window as well. The signs there reads, " No Wading, No Swimming, No Skateboarding" and so on. As a witness to the incident, I would suggest they add "No Defecating" to the list because that's what someone decided to do. The park's plumbers do their best to keep that fountain pool clean, but it is up to the public to be mindful of their actions as well.
Willfulness seems to be a growing sign in the young of our community as well. The traffic signs with representations of a pedestrian, 2-foot-tall, warning drivers to stop, allowing foot traffic passage, seem meaningless. A couple of years back after mowing one side of a west side park I pushed a hand mower to the curb to cross the street. A car slowed to a stop to allow my crossing but the car behind revved his engine, swerved out into the other lane and zoomed through the intersection. The driver of the first car motioned to me and drove off as well. Not more than 10 minutes later, the first car reappeared and out jumped detective Marshall of the Pocatello Police Department who explained that he was able to catch and ticket the offending driver for ignoring a few things, one of them being the sign, the other, me, and the possibility that they could lose access to his livelihood through the loss of a license because of an unthinking act. Who says there is never a cop around when you need them?
There seems to be so many signs. For instance, our mayor's going to the government to inform Congress of the mess our postal service has become — a sign that our Constitution is being usurped. In regard to our black, brown and tan community seeing the Confederate flag being displayed with pride, well, that could be an indication of a resurgence in the Klan membership in our city. As a concerned body, Pocatello's black population has always kept a weather eye on any signs of white supremacy in this predominately Mormon community. The history of the Klan in the Gate City is an interesting one.
For those of you who travel the streets of Old Town Pocatello between the hours of 6 a.m. and 9 a.m., you might recognize this next sign that greeted you every morning this summer. Behind the headlights of a green 4-wheeler, I presented you all with the peace sign and a flashing amber caution light, moving along North and South Arthur Avenue, East and West Center Street and North and South Main Street watering the Old Town hanging plants. I would like you all to know that was the only way to get your attention when riding headfirst into oncoming traffic. BTW thanks for your smiles and other gestures.

ITU-T Recommendation X.680 says 3.8.40 integer type: A simple type with distinguished values which are the positive and negative whole numbers, including zero (as a single value). NOTE – Particular encoding rules limit the range of an integer, but such limitations are chosen so as not to affect any user of ASN.1. and I don't see anything about a type that includes only the positive whole numbers, including zero - i.e., no unsigned type - so perhaps, if we're to strictly interpret ASN.1, either all integral types should be signed, and any integral type with values > 2147483647 should be 64-bit (or we should introduce bignums so that we don't have to bail out on *any* ASN.1 number) or, at least, all *unconstrained* integral types should be signed and 64-bit (or, if we introduce bignums, bignum), with only integral types constrained to a minimum value >= 0 unsigned, and with the width of the type chosen based on the constraints. The right short-term fix might be to make the arguments to dissect_per_constrained_integer() be gint64 rather than guint32 - and perhaps have the pointer for the returned value be a gint64 * rather than a guint32 *.

Pressure mounts on under siege mental health service in Bay of Plenty
Pressure is mounting on the Bay of Plenty (BOP) District Health Board (DHB) as its under siege mental health service comes under increasing scrutiny. In the latest twist, it can be revealed that the BOP DHB has been the subject of several Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests relating to the service, the report commissioned from RAP Consulting, and the performance of its former Clinical Director, Sue Mackersey. The DHB has provided very limited information to the press and we understand the Ombudsman is now involved in dealing with a complaint from a major newspaper regarding the lack of transparency from the DHB in response to their FOIA request. A few months ago Right Minds made a FOIA request to BOP DHB and was only given limited information, with the contents of the RAP Consulting report being withheld. It appears a major mainstream paper was having similar difficulties and has taken the matter further.
Earlier this year, a client of the mental health service killed Ariana Mahu at Huria Marae in Tauranga. At the High Court in Rotorua in August the killer, Tamati Mason was found to be insane at the time of the attack. The judge agreed with the two psychiatrists who had examined Mason that he was suffering from schizophrenia. He was reported to have been actively hallucinating and deluded at the time of the killing.
This tragic incident happened at a time when the BOP mental health service was clearly at a low ebb. Right Minds sources had revealed that the service was dysfunctional and that many senior and junior staff had lost confidence in the leadership. Towards the end of 2017 the DHB had commissioned the report from RAP consulting on the state of the service. This obviously raised questions and concerns about the care and treatment of Mr Mason and whether, if the mental health service had been functioning properly, this killing could have been prevented.
Dr Mackersey was then, it appeared, on 'gardening leave'/suspension for several months before leaving the DHB's employ and taking up a position in Australia with the Royal College of Australian and New Zealand Psychiatrists as an elected Director. A request from Right Minds made to the Board of RANZCP at the end of September for comment on its confidence in Dr Mackersey to hold her position with them in light of the Bay of Plenty events generated no response.
Right Minds sources suggest that under Dr Mackersey's leadership there were unsatisfactory practises in place with regard to Psychiatrist coverage across two sites in Rotorua and Tauranga. The information from the staff workshops following the RAP Consulting report clearly indicate that there were major problems in the service and that many staff were desperately unhappy. The DHB Board's reluctance to release the information requested in multiple FOIA requests can only fuel speculation that the worrisome state of the mental health service in the past few years contributed to the tragic events which unfolded in February. Only a frank and open disclosure of information, however damning, will provide the answers the public is looking for and is entitled to.

On the Great Jeff Sessions
I got a question on the blog asking if Schumer's capitulation on 65 of Trump's appointments had anything to do with the Senates decision to block the President's recess appointment power in the coming weeks.
And the answer is, no — that has to do with Jeff Sessions. It's an interesting twist and I thought about a separate piece on it – but it's a long explanation and I'm lazy so I went with sensational, the Schumer piece.
I'm going to really shorten this up. Jeff Sessions was a longtime Senator and Senator's have rules, traditions, arcane little stuff that is super important to them although it seems silly to the rest of us. As a Senator, Sessions was one of the old guard that protected and followed these traditions, believing as it's supporters do, that congeniality at this level leads to work product.
This year Sessions got abused by his own dear Senate, violated as it were, repeatedly, by other Senators rudeness and circumstances colliding. Sessions of course, did not react, but the rest of the Senate was horrified. Next, the President begins his assault on Sessions over his recusal on the Russia thing. The old guard reacted! The Senate owed Jeff, they were sorry, they like him, they trust him, no one is going to pee on him, even a President, he's a Senator, we can abuse him — BUT no one else can – screw you.
So, they voted without dissent, to have a little minute or so meeting every few days over recess. Strange huh? This is a lesson; never mess with the Senate, because this little calendar move, again, by arcane rules, prevents the President from making a recess appointment over the recess. And since the Senate committee chair Trump would need to get a Senate confirmation on a new AG – has already told Trump he will not even hold a hearing to confirm anyone else — Sessions has now Trumped Trump.
I'm happy about this, I love Sessions; he's off track on marijuana — BUT is a smart, ethical, hard-working man that has the American people and the U.S. constitution as his guiding stars. I respect Sessions and I rarely get to type that. I think Trump was brilliant to pick him and that it showed a lack of class to criticize him publicly the way he did. Apparently the entire Senate, even Cory Booker, surprise, surprise, agrees with me.

I took this picture when I was in New York City, in the middle of the week, at a totally cool place called Make Meaning. They have cakes that are ready-made, and they have totally cool things for decorating the cakes, including a spin-art setup, where the cake is on the spinner instead of the piece of paper, and you paint the cake as it spins.
I took the photo because I knew it was a special moment. It was a moment that I knew I could only have because we were homeschooling. And I thought I'd need pictures like this to remind me when I have doubts about homeschooling.
I thought the photo would remind me of the educational benefits of being outside the classroom. But the photo is much more than that.
Peter Gray, at Psychology Today, polled homeschool families, and he published a summary of what parents say the benefits are to their homeschooling.
I am struck by the four benefits that parents mentioned most frequently: Read more

Economist and member of the Economic Programme Oversight Committee (EPOC), Ralston Hyman, says the strategy of devaluing the local dollar to boost exports is not working.
He says despite significant depreciation in the local currency, exports have declined by more than 30%.
Mr. Hyman says high energy and security costs, bureaucratic processes and low levels of productivity are hampering growth in exports.
He says depreciation without an increase in the volume of exports will not help the country.
He says the focus should be on measures to boost production.
Ralston Hyman, Economist and member of EPOC, speaking this afternoon with Nationwide News.
Mr. Hyman is also suggesting that the government makes greater use of a micro-economic approach.
According to Hyman, Opposition Spokesman on Finance, Audley Shaw is correct in anticipating that the exchange rate will reach Jamaican 1-hundred-and-20 dollars to 1 US dollar.
Mr. Shaw has warned Jamaicans to brace for more price increases as a result of the continued devaluation of the dollar.
According to Mr. Shaw this will almost certainly be the reality, given that the government and the IMF appear to have reached an agreement to allow the Jamaican dollar to slide to 1-hundred-and-20 to 1-US dollar.
Mr. Shaw made the comments during a media briefing at the office of the Leader of the Opposition in St. Andrew on Monday.
The local currency began trading his morning at 1-hundred-and-11-dollars-24-
Mr. Shaw says he has credible reasons to be concerned that the IMF may well be prepared to allow the Jamaica dollar to slide further.

Photos shared with AVweb show the Cobalt Co50 Valkyrie undergoing flight testing at Hayward Executive Airport (KHWD) this summer before a test flight setback in September sidelined the newer of Cobalt's two test aircraft. According to the NTSB preliminary report, after determining that the ailerons were not effective, the ATP-rated test pilot "reasoned that he would be able to land the airplane while configured at an increased airspeed using steady thrust control and the rudder for directional control." At approximately 10 feet above the runway, the pilot experienced an abrupt loss of lift followed by a hard landing, says the NTSB. Upon impact, the right landing gear separated from the airframe, resulting in damage to the right-wing spar. The accident took place on the 11,800-foot runway at Castle Airport (formerly Castle Air Force Base) on Sept. 5, 2017. The pilot was not injured in the crash.
The TSIO-550 powered Valkyrie has been the subject of, alternatively, a great deal of excitement and suspicion in the aviation and mainstream press after its debut in November 2015. The Cobalt website suggests the V-tail, canard-style four- to five-seater will be certified under the homebuilt/experimental category, but likely with the minimum legal level of buyer involvement—similar to the strategy employed by Evolution Aircraft. The current advertised base price is $635,000. Cobalt's David Loury declined to be interviewed by AVweb, but says the company is focused on the first batch of production aircraft.

Driving this morning to my best friends house, a voice on the radio spoke of October 15th - Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day. I did not know. How lucky I had the radio on. It stopped me in my tracks, as these things will always do - and for a short time shook again the settled peace of mind and positive demeanour of a normal day.
She spoke of lighting a candle - at 7pm - to place in your window as a gesture of love and remembrance, for lost babes the world over. I will certainly do so. Five candles - and a time of our lives which became a recurring nightmare and hopeless situation for all involved. My story is one of many, thousands, millions the globe around. A form of loss so cruel and commonplace, yet so taboo - even in today's open and liberal world - that there is no conventional way to grieve.
Loss is a terrible thing, whenever it occurs - but the loss of a child, who we will never know, is the loss of a hope and a future. It is devastating in the cruelest possible way. My story has a happy end. I have a healthy boy and girl and I am luckier than many. But I know what loss is. There are children who will not join me on the beach, who will not hear bedtime stories and who will never go to school. I love them none the less.
A votive in my friends house bears the inscription, "Hope is eternal - all the darkness in the world can never extinguish the light of one small candle". If this story is your own, then October 15th will mean something special to you. Never lose hope of a happy end for it was precisely on the point of giving up that our luck changed. We have a son and a daughter who are strong, who are growing up. Life moves on.
But I will not forget. And neither will the rest. In your thousands - I extend my hand to you. Because you are not alone. Your neighbour, your friend or the woman on the street, knows a little of your pain. She knows loss of her own, and today I light a candle for you all - heartbroken families, missing babes and the healthy, living children you are yet to love and enjoy... x
I was honoured for this post to be featured as a guest blog on Loss Through The Looking Glass which may be of interest to anyone affected by this story x

The aim of the study was to compare weight self-efficacy and HRQoL among normal-weight, overweight and obese Iranian adolescents.
 Materials and Methods
 In this case-control study, 118 obese and overweight adolescents (case group) and 118 adolescents with normal weight (control group) were recruited. Adolescent's anthropometric characteristics were measured. The Weight Efficacy Lifestyle Questionnaire (WEL), pediatric quality of life inventory (PedsQLTM 4.0) and self-reported physical activity were completed by the adolescents.
 Results: Multivariate logistic regression adjusting for various confounders indicated that overweight and obese adolescents were less likely to be physically active (adjusted odds ratio, AOR= 0.66; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.48 to 0.911), had lower ability to cope with social pressure (AOR= 0.54; 95% CI, 0.32 to 0.93), involved in less positive activities (AOR= 0.53; 95% CI, 0.37 to 0.75), and felt more negative emotions (AOR= 0.23; 95% CI, 0.14 to 0.36) than their normal-weight counterparts. Moreover, obese and overweight adolescents were more likely to report deteriorated quality of life in all PedsQL subscales than those with normal weight P<0.05). The results of the mediation analysis indicated that negative emotions mediated the relationship between adolescents' weight status and HRQoL (Z =-5.79, P<0.001).
 Conclusion: Weight management programs should focus on increasing adolescent's control on situations related to negative emotions to improve their HRQoL. Adolescent Emotions Obesity Quality of life Self-efficacy

Now if you are a urostomate this wont affect you as it is a stool based output problem. As far as I am aware mainly colostomates find this a struggle as they still have some of their large bowel left which will wring out the liquid in their output. HOWEVER some ileostomates suffer this and it depends on what you eat….potato and quinoa causes pancaking for me!
What is pancaking exactly? Well it is where your output stays around your stoma rather than falling into the bag. This can cause leaks as the stool begins to push between the base plate and your skin. This makes a gap where the output escapes either as liquid or the thicker output; either way it is incredibly annoying for all involved!
How can we prevent pancaking I hear you ask?
Well here are a few tips that may help:
- drinking more fluid – this allows the output to thin out a bit making it less likely to sit by the stoma
- leaving some air in the bag – this prevents a vacuum and can help prevent the output from staying put
- putting a filter sticker on – this allows some air to stay in the bag, not too mention preventing any odour from escaping
- eating veggies – the type of fibre found in veggies (insoluble) will help to make things move. People that suffer constipation could find eating veggies helpful
- using a lubricator – this ensures that the inside of your bag is slippery and it will hopefully encourage your output to move down the bag
- moving it – so basically pushing it down with your hands (on the outside of your bag!!!!)
- being aware of certain foods – some foods obviously thicken up your output and could be the culprit to your pancaking dilema
What tips and tricks do you have? I find that moving the output, eating more veggies and drinking fluid are the three that help me the most!

On April 28th, over 100 Mélanie's Way supporters in Timmins donned their fancy fascinators, came out in grand style, and opened their hearts to helping grant wishes for young women with metastatic or relapsed cancer. As they drank tea and chatted around tables beautifully adorned with flowers, they learned about the charity's mission and the women we serve…and raised over $4,500! We are so lucky to have supporters who passionately spread the word and open the door for more wishes to be fulfilled. This event was entirely conceptualized, planned, and put into action by our donors! Please join us in thanking the formidable team that made this all happen: Louise Biglow, Celine Tarlton, Darlene LeDuc, Quise Hebert, and Amanda Chalmers.

Julie Swanson, LFSVA's CEO since 2005, will retire next spring, she announced in meetings and conference calls with agency managers and supervisors this week.
"This was a big decision — one my husband and I have mulled over for several years," Swanson said. "It was incredibly hard for me to decide to retire. I made the decision on 2018 not because I am tired, or because I don't have great joy each day when I am at work. I made it because of my family — both those who are now here in Virginia and those in other states.
"At some point, you realize that you aren't seeing your brothers and sisters, friends and your children nearly as much as you want to," she said. "You also realize that some of these important individuals will not be here for many more years."
LFSVA's Board of Directors will select Swanson's successor, so this week's announcement allows time for a full search, hiring and transition process.
In the meantime, Swanson said, nothing in the way she runs LFSVA will change.
"The truth is, I am as fired up about working here today as I have been in the past," she said. "I really don't have a date I must be done by. I am not going to another job, and I will be leading LFSVA with the same passion and commitment that I have had for the past 12 years."
Still, Swanson's announcement was a moment for reflection.
"I am extremely grateful for and proud of this agency's management and leadership teams and our nearly 450 employees, and I mean each of you! It is just so gratifying to have you in your roles doing such hard work and, most importantly, caring so deeply about delivering our mission to people," Swanson said.
"You are amazing, and I feel such depth of appreciation for you. I know the mission of this agency is in your very good hands."

This paper reports the results of carbon stored in soil and aboveground biomass from the most important area of mangroves in Mexico with dominant vegetation of Red mangrove (Rhizophora mangle L.), Black mangrove (Avicennia germinans L.), white mangrove (Laguncularia racemosa Gaertn.) and button mangrove (Conocarpus erectus L.) in three sites located in the Atasta Peninsula, Campeche, Mexico. Samples were taken in 2009 and 2010 during the dry season from soils with high fertility. To determine tree biomass (AGB), allometric equations were used. Greater values of AGB were found for button mangrove (253.18 ± 32.17 t ha−1) and lower values were found for Black mangrove (161.93 ± 12.63), intermediate carbon storage were found in the other two species Red mangrove 181.70±16.58 t ha−1), and white mangrove (206.07±19.12 t ha−1). Carbon stored in soil at the three sites was measured in a range of 36.80 ± 10.27 to 235.77 ± 66.11 t C ha−1. The Tukey test (p<0.05) showed significant differences exist between Black mangrove and button mangrove. The button mangrove trees evaluated had a higher AGB compared with other species, and black mangrove trees have a relatively lower AGB, because they grow in hypersaline environments which reduce their development, while for buttonwood mangrove growing on higher ground, their soils are better able to obtain nutrients. AGB tends to be relatively low in areas near the sea and rise as the forest location is closer inland. In the case of a black mangrove, usually these individuals are growing on recently deposited sediments; the Tukey test indicated no significant differences among the sample sites. These results show that all sites have good potential to store carbon for long periods of time. The carbon stored in the three sampling sites in the state of Campeche Mexico is higher than that reported by other authors in different places in the world.

Agent: Seahawks' Eddie Lacy gets first $55K bonus for making weight
Seahawks running back Eddie Lacy just made $55,000 by making weight.
The one-year contract Seattle gave Lacy in free agency reportedly includes $385,000 in incentives tied to his weight, which was at times an issue during his first four seasons in Green Bay. According to ESPN's Field Yates and others, Lacy can make $55,000 each time he achieves a specific weight target that drops incrementally as the season approaches.
The first of seven weigh-ins was Monday. Lacy's agency tweeted that he checked in a 253 pounds, which is two pounds below the targeted weight for May.
"He looks awesome. He looks great," Seahawks coach Pete Carroll said when he joined "Brock and Salk" on Monday. "He's huge and he's going to keep playing huge and he did a fantastic job. He's done everything we've asked him to do. He's doing great."
Carroll added: "His attitude about it has been great. He's worked with the support system that we've put in place, and highly successful."
Lacy was listed at 231 pounds coming out of college in 2013. He reportedly got above 250 pounds last season after a well-documented effort to slim down, which followed Packers coach Mike McCarthy publicly putting him on notice for being too heavy at the end of the previous season. According to Bob McGinn of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, Lacy weighed 267 pounds during a free-agent visit earlier this offseason.
Carroll declined to discuss specifics of Lacy's weight with "Brock and Salk." He indicated when the Seahawks signed Lacy that his ideal playing weight would be in the 240-pound range. According to Yates, the targeted weights for the next six weigh-ins are 250 for June and August and 245 for September, October, November and December.
Lacy is still recovering from surgery to repair an ankle injury that cut his 2016 season short. Lacy has been taking part in Seattle's offseason program but isn't yet up to full speed.
"He's run hard. Last week he ran real hard in the drills, not full speed but he ran really hard and worked out throughout all of the practice, so he's getting all the reps," Carroll said. "He's going to be right with us. This will be another important week for him to get turns and all that. Then next week he and (offensive lineman Luke Joeckel) will have to back off some stuff but we're orchestrating a formula here that I think we can keep these guys pretty much in the flow of things, which I think will be great."
