RNA molecules are crucial for delivering cellular information and genetic regulation, but until recently, the drug discovery world has emphasized protein drug targets. Our lack of knowledge in RNA biology prevented us from exploring possibilities of RNA drug targets, but with recent advances in technologies such as sequencing, new therapeutic strategies are being explored. Join us at the Inaugural RNA as a Drug Target conference, part of Discovery on Target, as we discuss RNA as a novel target site for therapeutics.

Small Molecules to Target RNA
2:45 Organizer's Welcome Remarks
2:50 Chairperson's Opening Remarks
Meizhong Jin, PhD, Senior Director, Chemistry, Arrakis Therapeutics
2:55 FEATURED PRESENTATION: Non-Coding RNA as a Small Molecule Drug Target
Elliott Nickbarg, PhD, Principal Scientist, Pharmacology Department, Merck & Co, Inc.
To understand RNA-small molecule druggability, we have validated an affinity-selection mass spectrometry screening system for detection of RNA-small molecule interactions. This system was used to screen a variety of RNA targets against diverse small molecule collections, functionally annotated compounds, and collections enriched in RNA-binding properties. The system generated a large dataset of small molecule-ncRNA interactions. Here, we outline our approach and results, and discuss implications for new drug discovery efforts.
3:25 Directly Targeting RNA with Small Molecules
Meizhong Jin, PhD, Senior Director, Chemistry, Arrakis Therapeutics
RNA plays critical roles in gene expression and regulation and, as such, RNA molecules are implicated human disease, often via the undruggable proteins expressed by those RNAs. RNA as a therapeutic target has been validated clinically by oligonucleotide drugs although with limitations. Recent advances in RNA structure and biology point to the exciting potential of directly targeting RNA with drug-like small molecules, offering potential advantages over oligonucleotides.
3:55 Sponsored Presentation (Opportunity Available)
4:25 Refreshment Break in the Exhibit Hall with Poster Viewing
5:00 Precise and Potently Bioactive Small Molecules Interacting with RNA (SMiRNAs)
Suzanne Rzuczek, PhD, Associate Scientific Director, Expansion Therapeutics
The expanding role of RNA in disease has led to exploring RNA as a drug target; however, the ability to selectively target RNA remains challenging. We have assembled technologies and tools to facilitate the identification of specific and potent novel small molecule binders of RNA. We will highlight this generally applicable technology to the design and study of potently bioactive and selective SMiRNAs targeting CUG repeats in Myotonic Dystrophy Type 1 (DM1).
5:30 Targeting Structurally and Functionally Diverse RNAs with Drug-Like Small Molecules
John S. Schneekloth Jr. (Jay), PhD, Principal Investigator, Chemical Biology Laboratory; Head, Chemical Genetics Section, Center for Cancer Research, National Cancer Institute, NIH
The past twenty years have seen an explosion of interest in the structure and function of RNA and DNA. While some 80% of the human genome is transcribed into RNA, just ~3% of those transcripts code for protein sequences. Here we discuss our group's efforts to target RNA and DNA with drug-like small molecules using a Small Molecule Microarray (SMM) screening platform and the molecular basis for these interactions.
6:00 Targeting Pre-mRNA Splicing with Small Molecules
Marla Weetall, PhD, Vice President, Pharmacology, PTC Therapeutics
Pre-mRNA splicing is emerging as a key control point in the expression of disease-modifying genes. Muta-tions causing alterations in splicing may result in diseases. Small molecules that affect pre-mRNA splicing have been identified and are being clinically developed. At PTC, we have developed a general approach to discover and develop drugs targeting splicing. Here we describe the application of this approach to spinal muscular atrophy, familial dysautonomia, and Huntington's disease.

8:40 Chairperson's Remarks
Razvan Nutiu, PhD, Investigator, Chemical Biology & Therapeutics, Novartis
8:45 Translation Control Therapeutics
Kevin Pong, PhD, Vice President, Business Development, Anima Biotech, Inc.
Anima Biotech is advancing Translation Control Therapeutics, the first platform for the discovery of small molecule drugs that specifically control mRNA translation as a new strategy against many diseases. With novel biology that monitors the translation of proteins and proprietary cloud-based analysis software, we identify drug candidates that modulate a target protein's production. We develop a pipeline across therapeutic areas and partner with Pharma for their targets including our +$1B collaboration with Lilly. Our approach was further validated with 5 granted patents, 14 peer reviewed publications and 17 scientific collaborations.
9:15 RNA Splicing Modulation… Application to CD33
Tom Chappie, Associate Research Fellow, Pfizer
GWAS studies on large populations of patients with late-onset Alzheimer's Disease have identified a SNP in the innate immune-response receptor CD33 (Siglec 3) that is protective for Alzheimer's disease. This protective SNP is hypothesized to induce an exon skipping event in the translation of CD33 protein. A phenomimetic strategy for hit identification of small molecule splicing modulators will be described.
9:45 Modulating the Epitranscriptomic RNA Modifications for Cancer Therapy
Pawel Sledz, PhD, Senior Scientist, Department of Biochemistry, University of Zurich
The modifications of transcriptomic RNA (also called epitranscriptomic modifications) have recently emerged as mechanism of regulation of gene expression, and due to implication in a number of diseases have attracted attention of the drug discovery community. We have pioneered early discovery in epitranscriptomic target space focusing on modulating the protein-RNA interactions (PRIs) and RNA-modifying proteins (RMPs), and delivered lead candidates in two programs. In my talk I will discuss the challenges and opportunities in this target space, as well as provide update on our portfolio: lead generation efforts, preclinical studies, and drug-discovery platform.
10:15 Coffee Break in the Exhibit Hall with Poster Viewing and Poster Competition Winner Announced
10:55 Enabling Modulation of RNA Biology in Human Disease with Small Molecules
Razvan Nutiu, PhD, Investigator, Chemical Biology & Therapeutics, Novartis
RNA biology is relevant to human disease and drug discovery. To enable drug discovery in the RNA space, several key challenges have to be addressed: what are the most relevant RNA biology phenotypes that affect human disease? What are the molecular interactions that control these phenotypes? What is the chemistry capable of modulating relevant RNA structures and/or RNA/protein complexes? The presentation aims to discuss some of these challenges and to propose an integrated approach to RNA targeted drug discovery using small molecules.
11:25 FEATURED PRESENTATION: Structure-Based Discovery of New Functions in Large RNAs
Kevin Weeks, PhD, Kenan Distinguished Professor of Chemistry, University of North Carolina
The functions of many RNA molecules – including mRNAs, long non-coding RNAs, and the genomes of RNA viruses – require that an RNA fold back on itself to create intricately and complexly folded structures. This talk will focus on recent progress in our lab with high-resolution RNA structure probing over large scales such that both secondary and tertiary structure elements can be identified and such that these structural data can be used to identify RNA elements likely to have direct and important roles in cellular function and gene regulation.

Oligonucleotides and Other Novel Methods to Target RNA
2:05 Chairperson's Remarks
Arthur A. Levin, PhD, Executive Vice President, R&D, Avidity Biosciences
2:10 Oligonucleotide Therapeutics Now on Target: Advances in Antibody Oligonucleotide Conjugates (AOCs)
Arthur A. Levin, PhD, Executive Vice President, R&D, Avidity Biosciences
The ability to utilize genomic information to design oligonucleotide therapeutics is the goal of the industry. Their broader potential as therapeutics has remained untapped because delivery to cells is limited. We are utilizing monoclonal antibodies against internalized cell surface proteins as a delivery mechanism for oligonucleotide therapeutics. We have developed a technology that allows us to successfully delivery oligo payloads to multiple cell types.
2:40 FANA ASO Therapy to Silence Foxp3, Impair Treg Function and Promote Anti-Tumor Immunity
Wayne W. Hancock, MD, PhD, Professor, Pathology and Chief of Transplant Immunology, Children's Hospital of Philadelphia and University of Pennsylvania
Since Foxp3+ Treg cells limit host anti-tumor immunity, we tested the efficacy of FANA antisense-oligonucleotides that spontaneously enter cells. Unlike scrambled controls, Foxp3-specific FANAs decreased Foxp3 mRNA and protein expression and impaired Treg function in vitro. Comparable effects occurred in vivo. Mice receiving Foxp3 FANA had impaired tumor growth, with 50% clearing tumors and markedly reduced Foxp3+ Treg infiltration. Hence, FANA oligos modulate Foxp3 expression and Treg function, providing a major new approach to cancer immunotherapy.
3:10 Identification of Development Candidate eFT226, a First in Class Inhibitor of eIF4A RNA Helicase
Justin Ernst, PhD, Director of Medicinal Chemistry, Effector Therapeutics
Dysregulated translation of specific mRNAs is an important driver of uncontrolled growth, immune evasion and metastasis in many types of cancer. eIF4A (eukaryotic initiation factor 4A), an ATP-dependent DEAD-box RNA helicase and a key component of the eIF4F complex, plays a crucial role in translational regulation of several oncogenes, rendering it a promising therapeutic target for the treatment of cancer. Flavagline natural products have been shown to inhibit eIF4A by RNA-sequence specific formation of a stabilized eIF4A/RNA/flavagline ternary complex; however, these compounds generally suboptimal drug-like properties. This presentation describes the design of and physicochemical property optimization in novel flavagline cores to support intravenous delivery, culminating in clinical candidate eIF4A inhibitor eFT226.
3:40 PATrOL-Enabled Therapies Targeting Mutant RNA Primary and Secondary Structures
Dietrich A. Stephan, PhD, Founder and CEO, NeuBase Therapeutics
NeuBase is developing next-generation gene silencing therapies with a flexible, highly specific synthetic antisense technology. The proprietary peptide-nucleic acid (PNA) antisense oligonucleotide (PATrOL™) platform allows for the rapid development of targeted drugs, increasing the treatment opportunities for the hundreds of millions of people affected by rare genetic diseases, including those that are impossible to treat using traditional antisense approaches. Using PATrOL technology, NeuBase aims to first tackle rare, genetic neurological disorders.

How to become the Mage?

Attention! The book was published in Russian.
(excerpt from the book)
© Vseslav Solo (Sergey Paretsky), 1989-2012 by GG
Translated by using an electronic dictionary.
Original excerpts in Russian is here.
A lot of literature now exists on the Karma, the literature in which an incredible number of interpretations of this concept, and almost countless explanations and regulations, but still no full understanding of Karma, No statement of its nature and mechanisms so that the neophyte could not only "know" but also "know" and "act".
Karma in terms of perception of the Russian people, who speak and think in Russian, means nothing other than fate. Sometimes karma is understood as a kind of rock, something always exists, but is usually the name of Karma
used to the heavy Karma, Destiny, is not welcomed by man.
Then I will say that the Karma can not be taken always, everywhere and in everything just as immutable, because Karma also movable in its manifestation and perception, as well as everything that is and why it exists, may be in various species, and isolation and awareness.
Suffice it to give a rough account of the development of the Karma in the life of any person and will be very clear that Karma is able to mutate, interpreted in perception.
Conventionally, of course, like all things in this conditional world, I share and divide the karma to certain types. What are they?
Here they are:
- Unconsciously mirror, with the active medium can be mobile, but not consciously;
- Mirrored logically grouped, which has an analogy activity environment;
- A mirror, which is recognized, closed;
- The mirror, really realize, open (data collection activity of the medium);
- A mirror, with a conscious environment, devoid of self-activity;
- Mirror and projecting, free;
- Projecting and contemplative, excepted;
Of course, the mentioned types of Karma is very tentative, but they give you, when will be examined individually below, views, opportunities, and skills.
As for the very first idea of Karma, it is appropriate to say that Karma (Destiny) - is, above all, the relationship and unity between the movements of cause and effect, in other words, as they say, cause-effect relationship, the is, a state where every next action (movement) is the response action (movement).
Man has always been curious, and then absorbing it in its entirety and fully understand the desire of the sacrament of his future, but he was always nevdamek and what it takes to correctly understand the space of his mind.
He is like a rip-off -

Verizon Asks FCC to Help Ease Switches From Cable
Thursday, March 27, 2008
Verizon Communications asked the Federal Communications Commission yesterday to take steps that would make it easier for cable subscribers to switch to Verizon's competing subscription-television service.
Verizon said in its petition that cable customers trying to switch providers are bogged down by cumbersome cancellation processes and are often required to contact the cable operator to cancel their service when signing up with a new provider. Verizon, which recently expanded into video services through its Fios fiber-optic network, asked the FCC to issue a declaratory ruling that would allow its video service to disconnect service with a cable provider on behalf of a customer.
The move was another skirmish in the battle between telecommunications and cable companies, both of which are trying to become the single source for bundled Internet, phone and paid television services.
Verizon's petition follows reports that Comcast and Time Warner might invest $1.5 billion in a high-speed wireless company that would be operated by Sprint Nextel and Clearwire. This would give the cable giants inroads into the cellphone business, putting them in position to better compete with Verizon and AT&T, the industry leaders.
By making it tougher for consumers to switch their television services, cable companies are giving themselves an advantage over the upstart Fios business, Verizon said in its petition. "The process to switch providers is more cumbersome for consumers. This significantly complicates the process of switching video providers, thereby entrenching the cable incumbents' dominant market position."
The cable industry fired back, calling Verizon's accusation hypocritical. The cable firms said Verizon Wireless makes it difficult for subscribers to switch to a new service provider.
"Verizon's fairy tale complaint is a lame attempt to deflect criticism from its years-long illegal practice of misusing proprietary information to prevent consumers from switching to a new phone provider," said Brian Dietz, a spokesman for the National Cable and Telecommunications Association.
Analysts said yesterday's filing shows how the distinctions between the telephone and cable companies are no more.
"At the heart of all this is . . . the fact that the boundaries [between what] phone companies provide and cable companies provide are getting blurrier and blurrier," said Craig Moffett, an analyst at Sanford C. Bernstein & Co.
Verizon is aggressively rolling out its Fios fiber-optic television service and plans to spend $23 billion on that project through 2010. It also paid $9.5 billion in the FCC's recent 700-megahertz auction for wireless spectrum.

A pristinely cared for conference table makes a huge first impression and is a prerequisite to any business meeting. At Brendel Restoration we expertly care for all of your conference table maintenance, from touch up to refinishing.
· Touch ups (faux graining)
· Repairs
· Onsite refinishing
· Offsite refinishing
· Color match or change (paint and stain grade)
Touch up
Full refinishing is not always required. As it goes with furniture refinishing and furniture restoration, if you have some minor scrapes and scratches, touching the area up and "faux graining", can eliminate the eye sore. We take it several steps further then DIY touch up kits and brown markers. We repair the area, make it smooth, touch it up, and lock the color in place by spot finishing.
Broken table legs, gauges, scratches, chips in the veneer or off edges? At Brendel Restoration we fix all these issues. With any furniture repair, the end result should always leave the damaged area smooth and color matched so you will never know it was there.
Modern finishes and coatings have come a long way in the past few years. Most great conference tables we see are finished with a soft, not as durable finish like a pre-catalyzed or nitro cellulose lacquer. This is out of date material and is still used today due to low cost. They show scratches easily, and are so soft they can be damaged by a hot mug sitting in the surface. At Brendel Restoration, we recommend finishing with a more modern durable catalyzed varnish or urethane finish. It will be the same look, color, and sheen only with a much more protective coating.
Sheen/Color Change
Is it time for a modern overhaul of your firms conference tables? We can strip and refinish to a high-gloss look. Whatever statement you would like to make or look you would like to achieve, at Brendel Restoration we can achieve them all. Paint or stain grade, from flat sheens all the way up to a high gloss buffed and waxed look.
At Brendel Restoration we primarily serve customers in Baltimore MD, Washington DC, NYC, and Philadelphia. We also travel across the country to provide on-site finishing, touch up, pick up, and delivery services.

Lawmakers from the two chambers remain far apart on some key issues and a veto threat hangs over negotiations
Last month, the U.S. Senate defied the beltway trope of legislative gridlock that has characterized the Obama era, passing a broad energy bill in an 82-12 vote.
Approval in the Senate on April 20 marked the first time the chamber has passed a bipartisan energy bill since 2007, and national media reacted with appropriate surprise.
"It doesn't happen every day, but it happened Wednesday," the Washington Post noted in an article titled "The Senate just passed — overwhelmingly — an actually bipartisan energy bill."

Missing North Carolina girl found after alleged abductor's car runs out of gas
HENDERSON COUNTY, N.C. — A missing girl from Henderson County was found Saturday morning when the car she was in with her alleged abductor–her biological mother–ran out of gas, according to WLOS.
Major Frank Stout of the Henderson County Sheriff's Office said 12-year-old Zoee Bishop-Cantrell is safe and in protective custody in Jackson County, Georgia. She is awaiting transportation back to North Carolina.
The girl's mother, Selena Bishop, has been taken into custody on felony child abduction charges, Stout said in a news release.
Stout said Jackson County deputies found the pair Saturday morning after Bishop ran out of gas on Highway 441 near Commerce, Georgia.
Bishop-Cantrell had been missing since Thursday, when deputies say Bishop picked her up from school.

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — After the nearly Category 5 Hurricane Michael barreled through the Florida Panhandle Wednesday afternoon, crews from across the state, including the Bay area, are heading to the Panhandle to aid in recovery efforts.
A Tampa Bay regional task force loaded up Wednesday night, preparing to head north to help with search and rescue efforts in the aftermath of Hurricane Michael.
The Bay area task force is made up of members of Hillsborough County Fire Rescue, Tampa Fire Department, and St. Petersburg Fire Department. All of them have been trained extensively for search and rescue after storms like Michael.
About 20 members of the Pinellas County Sheriff's Office headed north Thursday morning to provide support to agencies impacted by Michael.
The team will bring specialized equipment, including vehicles for water rescues, refrigeration trailers and a portable communications tower.
Pasco deputies also are lending a hand, packing up a semi full of supplies destined for the Panhandle. At least 14 deputies are going to assist, according to sheriff Chris Nocco.
And Sunstar Paramedics is sending two emergency buses and five ambulances to the area to help.
The teams of volunteers, trained in disaster response, left early Thursday.
"This is also paying it forward for the help we received last year during Hurricane Irma," said John Peterson with Sunstar. "We had 25 ambulances that came to Pinellas County from up north last year to help us with patients and this is an opportunity for us to give back."

Tuesday after the Fifteenth Sunday after Trinity Sunday
Scripture: Philemon 1:1-25 (NKJV)
1:1 Paul, a prisoner of Christ Jesus, and Timothy our brother,
To Philemon our beloved friend and fellow laborer, 2 to the beloved Apphia, Archippus our fellow soldier, and to the church in your house:
3 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
4 I thank my God, making mention of you always in my prayers, 5 hearing of your love and faith which you have toward the Lord Jesus and toward all the saints, 6 that the sharing of your faith may become effective by the acknowledgment of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus. 7 For we have great joy and consolation in your love, because the hearts of the saints have been refreshed by you, brother.
8 Therefore, though I might be very bold in Christ to command you what is fitting, 9 yet for love's sake I rather appeal to you—being such a one as Paul, the aged, and now also a prisoner of Jesus Christ—10 I appeal to you for my son Onesimus, whom I have begotten while in my chains, 11 who once was unprofitable to you, but now is profitable to you and to me.
12 I am sending him back. You therefore receive him, that is, my own heart, 13 whom I wished to keep with me, that on your behalf he might minister to me in my chains for the gospel. 14 But without your consent I wanted to do nothing, that your good deed might not be by compulsion, as it were, but voluntary. 15 For perhaps he departed for a while for this purpose, that you might receive him forever, 16 no longer as a slave but more than a slave—a beloved brother, especially to me but how much more to you, both in the flesh and in the Lord.
17 If then you count me as a partner, receive him as you would me. 18 But if he has wronged you or owes anything, put that on my account. 19 I, Paul, am writing with my own hand. I will repay—not to mention to you that you owe me even your own self besides. 20 Yes, brother, let me have joy from you in the Lord; refresh my heart in the Lord. 21 Having confidence in your obedience, I write to you, knowing that you will do even more than I say.
22 But, meanwhile, also prepare a guest room for me, for I trust that through your prayers I shall be granted to you.
23 Epaphras, my fellow prisoner in Christ Jesus, greets you, 24 as do Mark, Aristarchus, Demas, Luke, my fellow laborers.
25 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen.
The apostolic office is the means by which the Lord delivers grace to the saints. For this reason, the Lord Jesus chose the twelve and sent them into all the world: that they would deliver the grace of God which was won by Christ on the cross, and everyone who heard and believed the words of the apostles concerning the Christ were saved. When St. Paul writes his epistle to Philemon, he writes as an apostle—one chosen by the Lord Jesus to deliver the grace of God by preaching the Gospel of the Christ.
Therefore, when St. Paul declares to Philemon the grace of the Lord Jesus, it is more than a pious wish; the epistle itself, written by the hand of the apostle, which teaches and confirms the saving faith in Christ which Philemon already possesses, actually delivers the grace of God to him.
The called and ordained pastors of the Church are the heirs of that apostolic office, of which St. Paul was a member. Likewise, the grace of God is delivered to the saints when the pastor preaches the Word of God and administers the sacraments. The faithful pastor is the Lord Jesus' chosen means through which He speaks to His people, even as the Augsburg Confession declares, "That we may obtain this faith, the Office of Teaching the Gospel and administering the Sacraments was instituted" (Article V:1).
We pray: O Lord, we beseech Thee, let Thy continual pity cleanse and defend Thy Church; and because it cannot continue in safety without Thy help, preserve it evermore by Thy help and goodness; through Jesus Christ. Amen.

AbstractThis dissertation studies China's first industrializing efforts to transform its navigation, cotton textiles and banking in the late nineteenth century, and analyzes the paradoxical roles of the state and culture in achieving development. It argues that successful late development is dependent on state policies that emphasize state-society connectedness and tradition-modernity continuity. In late Qing China, the state-midwifed industrial projects faced both intensive competition from foreign firms and resistance from domestic vested interests. Because key resource factors such as capital, production technology, and management skill were scarce and distributed unevenly across multiple sectors, the state officials had to redirect the resource flows in order to found new industries. The state had to perform an essential function of creative destruction, without which social groups in non-state sectors would be less likely to embrace changes, but the ultimate success of new industries depended on a societal consolidation that redefined the state-society relationship. This study also shows that culture was a double-edged sword with great potential for lubricating industrial transformation. The promoters of development created myths, symbols and beliefs to legitimize their industrializing efforts. They made a constant effort to reinterpret tradition in order to find compatibility between the foreign and domestic systems. The distinctive sectoral paths taken by navigation, cotton textiles and banking represented different patterns of state-society cooperation for achieving development. Each sector had distinct production technologies and product structure, and was endowed with distinct sectoral institutions and other legacies. These endowments constrained choices of every new industry, but it was a combination of structural factors and industry's responsive strategies that explained why some enterprises succeeded while others failed. A project was more likely to succeed if there was greater state-society connectedness and cultural compatibility. Steam navigation was the most successful among the three, followed by cotton textiles. Banking was the least successful.

Nice shoe
Great looking shoe. Comfy. But I've been a 10.5W for ever. 2 different J&M shoes were 10.5W and they fit great. Got these and they fit like CLOWN SHOES. Backed down to the 10W and they're still too large - but I'll deal with it. 9.5W probably the best fit for this shoe. Don't know why!

Attorneys are notoriously busy.
An attorney's "busy" is like the average person's "busy" on crack.
We are all living in a time that seems to crave shrinking clocks and overburdened calendars. There isn't enough time in the day to return phone calls, reply to emails, respond to texts, make it to meetings, plow through new consultations, attend court, prepare briefs, maintain a working office, and oversee a dynamic staff of people.
And that's just the work involved with your job. Family responsibilities and obligations are on a whole other dimension.
So let's talk about work. Why in the world should you, an attorney, even mess with dealing with private investigators? Won't that just add to your stress, responsibilities, and time commitment?
No. Not if you find the right private investigator.
Let's be real. There is no private investigator out there, me included, who can be all things to all attorneys. But there are private investigators out there who are already tailor-made for the specific and unique needs of your practice. The challenge is finding them.
I want to help you find them and here's why.
You are an attorney. You are not a trained, licensed, and experienced private investigator. You already wear too many hats. You already don't have enough time in the day to achieve your goals AND maintain your sanity.
Why wouldn't you pass off the investigative tasks of your cases to someone you trust who specializes in investigating the specific areas demanded by your practice?
Yes, hiring a private investigator could save you time, headache, and money. But it could also better leverage the outcomes of your cases. It could streamline your investigative practices, giving your clients a better chance at success. Using a private investigator could give you the leg up you've been searching for in order to stay a step ahead of your adversaries.
Even if you currently work toward giving every one of your clients the best service and experience, all tied with a big red bow of success, there are always things you can improve upon or change to better help your clients AND help you achieve a dynamite reputation as an attorney.
Don't let private investigations be that lost opportunity you never knew about or never tried because of your fear of the unknown, the what-ifs.
There are some killer private investigators out there just waiting to help you achieve that next level you've been cautiously eyeing, wanting to step into but not knowing what to do next.
I'm going to help you find them and here's how.
Read these blogs and articles I've collected or written myself that will point you in the right direction:
How to Select a Qualified and Credible Private Investigator by Aaron Larson
How to Find a Private Investigator by Brian Willingham
10 Facts Every Attorney Should Know About Private Investigators by Rachele' Davis
Tips for Choosing a Private Investigator by Rachele' Davis
What Can a Private Investigator Do For Me? by Rachele' Davis

Don't be one of the many attorneys who continue to weigh themselves down with too much work, too little time, and not enough help. I'm offering you a lifeline here. Take it, for goodness sake.

I think my mission in this life is to figure out how to connect with other folks. I've always wanted to know what made people tick, what they thought, how they felt, what made them happy, what made them laugh. I, of course, like being the one to make them laugh. It might be because the people in my family didn't do these things. We didn't talk to each other, didn't do fun, or even not so fun, things as a family, we rarely asked questions besides, "When will dinner be ready," and those kinds of things.
My family probably wasn't that unusual for those times, well, it was pretty weird. It surely wasn't like the Cleavers in "Leave it to Beaver." As far as communication goes, suffice it to say, I didn't learn many skills from them. I did learn how to be polite (not butt in or ask questions), how to read the unspoken signals from others, how to be a good girl (whatever that meant) and, most of all, that I shouldn't speak unless spoken to.
My upbringing left me with a big longing for something more. I didn't grow up to have a "regular" family of my own, so I had to figure out another way to relate more intimately with friends, family and my partner.
Who knew that when a friend suggested I make a board game about connection that I would create something that would be exactly that - a communication game that builds relationships! Her inspired thought created a passion and vision within me. It's opened me up on so many levels, exposed me (in the best ways) to things I never thought were possible and, hopefully, has opened the doors for other people along the way.
Talk to any therapist, life coach or relationship expert and they'll all tell you that communication is one of the most important keys to healthy and happy relationships. Whether it's your child, mate, friend, co-worker, or family member, it doesn't matter. How we communicate and how we receive that communication is crucial to our Well-Being. It's important to find a way to ask those questions and to laugh that creates the kind of relationships that our soul wants.
So take a chance, ask a question you've wanted to know the answer to. Tell a joke that makes someone else laugh. Color outside of the lines. Be a little silly. And see if that doesn't change things, just a little, so you can have more joy in your life.

Posted by Center for Stewardship Leaders on Tuesday, September 11, 2018 7:00 AM
In the stewardship course I teach, one assignment invites students to "design from scratch" stewardship practices for a new congregation. In other words, students try to step back from the inherited practices of the church, and for a moment, at least, imagine new ones. Of course, the assignment is a bit dangerous -- tradition and existing practices really matter, but they can also stifle our imagination. In today's post, Martha Moore-Keish continues her reflection from last week regarding offering plate practices. Martha pushes us to imagine, for a moment, what it would look like truly to redesign our practices.
Yours truly,
Adam Copeland, Center for Stewardship Leaders
What are We 'Offering' at the Offering? Part 2
Martha Moore-Keish
Last week, in this post I considered how "the offering" as we consider it together came to be established. In news that might surprise many worshippers, the early church didn't collect money at all. Instead, they emphasized feeding the community -- at the eucharist table and with leftovers for any in need. Later, the word "offering" did develop, but Martin Luther had deep reservations about any suggestion that human beings might "offer" anything to God. God is the one who gives.
Given this history, this week I'd like to consider how our liturgical actions might be reshaped and renewed. Much of the way we celebrate the offering suggests problematic theology, but it's also increasingly strange to see largely-empty plates passed around. So, what might we do? How might our liturgical gestures reinforce (rather than undermine) the fundamental pattern of grace and gratitude that ought to define Christian faith and worship?
Offering Proposal One: Just Don't
Let's be bold: remove the financial offering from the center of worship. Sure, this would be a big change for many of us, but it's actually a return to previous practice, in a way.
Like Puritans and other Reformed Protestants in the 16th and 17th centuries, consider placing a collection box in the narthex/lobby of your church. Information about electronic giving might be available nearby. Then, encourage financial and other giving as a part of what it means to go into the world -- as worship wraps up and the assembly is sent.
By placing the collection at the end of worship, as part of the sending, we put our giving in its proper place: as a response to God's gracious giving which has nourished us through water and word, bread and wine.
This may not be the right option for every congregation, of course. Giving of ourselves, in joyful response to God and for the benefit of others, is a vital part of Christian life. Placing the collection at the end of worship, as part of the sending, risks making our financial giving less visibly important. For young children, the practice of offering can be particularly significant, as it was for me, to watch their adults contribute money regularly to help the world, and to practice such giving themselves. (Of course, this could be just as effective at the end of the service if approached with care.)
This proposal may seem radical, but many evangelical congregations have already implemented such practices. In other words: it can be done. People will still give. The church's mission can still be accomplished.
Offering Proposal Two: Do and Expand
Now for something less radical. If we keep financial "offering" in worship, then how might we do this in a way that's meaningful, and that keeps the focus on our giving as a grateful response to God's abundant giving? Try this: expand the notion of what's happening with the offering plate and invite people to place tokens of gratitude -- thank you notes, if you will -- in the plates, in addition to or in lieu of money.
Tokens of gratitude could include pictures or lists of things for which a worshiper is thankful that week. Anyone could contribute to such "an offering of thanksgiving," with or without credit card, cell phone, or bank account. Above all, this would clarify that what we are "offering" is not our own possessions, but a grateful response to God's self-giving. [One church in Texas is already engaging a version of this practice.]
What are we offering when we are offering? Ourselves, our lives, and our financial resources, whatever they may be -- but not as if they are our own tightly held possessions that we (oh so generously) share with God. We fundamentally "offer" to God visible and tangible thanks for what we have not earned. May our liturgical practices also reflect this reality.

Worship Schedule Change
Well, it's that time of year. Summer vacations, cabins, and family reunions.
One of the realities I've learned to embrace while living in Minnesota is that people dramatically adjust their schedules seasonally. Having lived here for over a decade now, I understand why. Winter is long. Summer is short.
This said, church attendance shifts in the summer and especially affected are Saturday nights. Because of that, starting Memorial Day weekend, we'll be dropping Saturday nights before they drop us! Saturday nights will resume the weekend after Labor Day.
I know this inconveniences some of you. I do. A handful of Northgaters can only come on Saturday nights because of work schedules. That grieves me and I'm very sorry.
We're just not quite ready for year-round Saturdays. Northgate is growing right now. Many weekends this spring we've had 150-200 more people than we did last year, with most of the additional people coming on Sunday.
I'm hopeful that as Saturdays grow in the future, we'll be able to offer them in the summer too. In the meantime, we'll offer Sunday services at both 9 and 11 throughout the warm season so we don't miss a beat. AND. . . this summer, we plan to have some really fun activities on the lawn and in the parking lot for families after each service!
Thanks for understanding and if you would like to attend Saturday night before summer begins, please join us on May 7, 14, or 21 at 5 pm.

reader question : : chairs on the cheap
carla fahden
Well everything is going just swimmingly over here at Doodle Central! Rosy and Fern are chasing each other around our big tree out back as we speak (in the dark, on the cold icy grass). Oh, you wanna hear more about Rosy? Well let's see, she's a total oinker (every morning she clutches the bottom of my bathrobe with her teeth as I prepare her brekkie), she has already mastered 'sit' at just 9 weeks thanks to the great example set by her older sister and she can't wait to romp around in the wilderness as we are celebrating a snowy Christmas at my parents' cabin starting tomorrow!
Onto our reader question (which I am getting lots of, thank you!): affordable chairs! You know who loves herself a well-priced chair? This gal. I thought I'd share a couple shots from our house to prove it.
Here's the Madeline Chair from Urban Outfitters in our living room. This wasn't the first chair we purchased from their site and it won't be the last. Their pieces are stylish, well-made and look more expensive than they are. I've got a thing for chair legs (get your mind out of the gutter). I like them a
little worn, weathered and beat up, which most of the chair legs from UO are.
Here are some Eames-inspired chairs in our dining room that I ordered from Overstock. Unfortunately they are no longer available, but here are some similar ones. Overstock is a great source for furniture and all orders ship for a mere $2.95 and arrive at your doorstep within a couple of days.
Madeline Chair, Taupe Twill Mid-Century Style Accent Chairs, Leni Lounge Chair, Swoop Upholstered Chair, Dolce Upholstered Accent Arm Chair, 1938 Leather Butterfly Chair
Lastly, here's a round up of more cheap chairs. I am actually reconsidering Jack's wish for a poker table in our basement just so I can deck it out with four of the Mid-Century Style AccentChairs. Frances, the Swoop Chair is for you. :)

This is Speak Easy Story Slam, where you can hear people's amazing true stories, told live on stage.
For those of you who have been to previous Story Slam, we have something a little different for you all....
A CONTEST! (woo!) *fanfare*
Yes, the next event will be a contest held in partnership with Tellit Story Telling Festival, who are on a Quest to find the nations best amateur story teller. Read more about the Quest on their website: http://tellitfestival.com/
Together with storytelling clubs from across the country, Speak Easy Story Slam will be choosing one of our story tellers to represent us on a national scale!
Whichever story teller is declared the winner of our heat will join 8 others, chosen by storytelling clubs across the country, to go to the Showcase Event in London on Saturday 22nd October 2016 at Hoxton Hall, 130 Hoxton St, London N1 6SH
Every storyteller will have a +1 ticket
The events theme will be 'Lessons', stories of things learnt, taught, forgotten and ignored. Stories of teachers and students, and learning moments of the utmost importance or triviality. Maybe there are things you wished you'd learnt? Or maybe some things you'll never learn...
Got a story? Submit an application and come tell us on August 21st and be in with a chance to represent Story Slam at the Tellit Festival in London.
Unlike the normal slam, where anyone can get up on stage and tell a story, this time if you would like to take part in our quest you will have to submit a simple application. To do this you will need to:
1) fill out a google form by following this link: http://goo.gl/forms/pEqMxj3O4GRm7TZt1
2) Send us an audio recording of you telling your story to our email address: firstname.lastname@example.com. The story doesn't have to be polished and audio quality doesn't have to be amazing (you can record it on your phone), we just need something so we know what the story will roughly sound like.
Then you can leave the rest to us! Around 10 story tellers will be chosen to perform and we will be in touch to let you know if you have been selected to perform at the event.
*Application deadline is August 14th at 12 noon*
Important Notes:
- Anyone can submit an application
- The only requirement is that you be available and willing to compete at the event on August 21st
- And you be free to attend the London event on Saturday 22nd October 2016 in the event that you win (Story Slam will be able to help with travel money).
- Please note that, parts of both events will be filmed.
We have a Pay What You Want policy at Story Slam. There's a suggested entrance fee of £4, on the door but it can be more and less than this and it is totally not mandatory! We'd way rather have you here and sharing stories than not.
Our events tend to fill up early, so we open the box office to start stamping people's hands for entrance from 1.15.
Doors open and everyone is let into the theatre. Just take a seat and enjoy the show! Once you have your stamp and have found a seat, fee free to grab drinks and nibbles from the lovely adjoining Old Market Assembly.
2.00 - 4.00: STORYTIME (Contest Style)
Pre-chosen story tellers will be called onto the stage and each will tells us a 5 minute story from their life on the theme of Lessons! We laugh, we cry, we drink, we hear another one! We will hear around 10 stories and there will be an interval at some point.
The stories have to follow a few rules:
1. They must be *stories*! No rants, standup routines or monologues. We want a beginning, middle and end, and some change and conflict to occur.
2. They must be told in 5 minutes.
3. They have to be true (that time that you and Kylo Ren went on a whirlwind adventure and loved and learned and cried? Not going to cut it.)
4. They need to be genuinely 1st person. You should be a major player in the story and we want to hear your perspective.
5. Preferably no notes. This is about the good ol' fashioned art of storytelling. Tell it to us like we're round a campfire, or at a sleep over. (However you may use them feel this would be a significant barrier to sharing your story)
The rules are just there to make sure we get to hear as many awesome stories as possible. They're not meant to be restricting, so if you're unsure about anything just drop us a message or ask on the day.
In the interest of making the story slam a safer and more comfortable place, we give people the option of putting content warnings before their stories. We read them out before each story and give people a chance to leave the room. If you do want to leave the main room at any time, we have a craft out table fully stocked with craft materials and friendly volunteers!
The venue has full step free access to the theatre and the stage. However, if you need to use it please let us know (via Facebook message) beforehand as we need a member of staff to open side doors etc. Also please feel free to message us if you have any questions surrounding that (or anything else!)
You can also check out our photo album for details on the step free access: https://www.facebook.com/SpeakEasyStorySlam/photos/?tab=album&album_id=583482968483519
This is Speak Easy Story Slam, where you can hear people's amazing true stories, told live on stage.

I have been experimenting with using sharpshooters instead of heavies as my main damage dealers, but sometimes they break off from behind my screen and charge into the base and die.
It says that they prefer attacking heroes, does a deka count as a hero? It seems to be happening when there is an active deka in another part of the base.

11573 Helmholtz
11573 Helmholtz, provisional designation 1993 SK3, is a Zhongguo asteroid from the outermost region of the asteroid belt, approximately 13 kilometers (8 miles) in diameter. It was discovered on 20 September 1993, by German astronomers Freimut Börngen and Lutz Schmadel at the Karl Schwarzschild Observatory in Tautenburg, Germany. It is one of few asteroids located in the 2 : 1 resonance with Jupiter. The asteroid was named for German physicist Hermann von Helmholtz.[2]

Orbit and classificationEdit
Helmholtz is a non-family asteroid from the main belt's background population.[3] It is a member of the small group of Zhongguo asteroids, located in the Hecuba gap (2 : 1 mean motion resonance with Jupiter) near 3.27 AU. Contrary to the nearby unstable Griqua group, the orbits of the Zhongguos are stable over half a billion years.[4]
It orbits the Sun in the outer main-belt at a distance of 2.4–4.1 AU once every 5 years and 11 months (2,148 days; semi-major axis of 3.26 AU). Its orbit has an eccentricity of 0.26 and an inclination of 2° with respect to the ecliptic.[1] The asteroid was first observed as 1982 YN4 at Crimea–Nauchnij in December 1982. The body's observation arc begins at Palomar Observatory in January 1989.[2]
Physical characteristicsEdit
Diameter and albedoEdit
Based on a generic magnitude-to-diameter conversion, Helmholtz measures 13 kilometer in diameter for an absolute magnitude of 13.2 and an assumed albedo of 0.057, which is typical for carbonaceous asteroids. If the body was of stony rather than carbonaceous composition, its estimated diameter would be less than 7 kilometer.[5]
Rotation periodEdit
As of 2018, no rotational lightcurve of Helmholtz has been obtained from photometric observations. The body's rotation period, pole and shape remain unknown.[1][6]
This minor planet was named after German physiologist and physicist Hermann von Helmholtz (1821–1894), a prolific naturalists of the 19th century. The official naming citation was published by the Minor Planet Center on 20 March 2000 (M.P.C. 39658).[7] The lunar crater Helmholtz as well as the crater Helmholtz on Mars are also named in his honor.[8][9]

Just a few days after getting hammered with some serious wind and a few inches of snow on Friday, here we are with Winter Storm Quinn. We've gotten about 8 inches so far…
The boys and the dog were super cute when we went out, and our oldest was "helping" me shovel. Haha
Anyway, enough about the weather. As promised, I have some really important thoughts on hydration during, and recovery after, workouts. If you are an endurance athlete (runner, triathlete, cyclist) or do a decent amount of heavier strength training, hydration and recovery are super important. Your muscles need the right balance of nutrients and protein in order to optimally function and then repair themselves and get you ready for your next training session. When I was a competitive cyclist, I really struggled with recovery. I tried all kinds of stuff. The Hammer and Clif products were too thick and sugary for my liking. Vega products are awesome because they're plant-based, but I wasn't a fan of the added probiotics because my stomach does pretty darn well on its own (a lot of athletes need additional probiotics but I'm not one of them). And nothing I'd ever tried actually helped me to feel properly recovered in the long term. I was constantly feeling run down and getting sick. I was ready to throw in the towel on my goals because I just couldn't continue to push myself to the levels I needed and wanted to attain.
Enter Osmo Nutrition products!
An acquaintance turned me on to Osmo because it was a sponsor of the local women's cycling team she owns and runs. Osmo is unique in that it is specifically formulated to aid women in recovering. You see, hormone levels directly affect recovery for women. At certain parts in our monthly cycles, estrogen levels are higher and can inhibit recovery, body temps fluctuate, and women just have unique needs.
Almost every recovery and hydration product on the market is formulated by and for men, and the needs of male and female bodies aren't the same. Osmo Nutrition has created pre-load (for exceptionally intense/hot workouts), hydration (used during workouts), and recovery formulas that are specific to women's needs (They make men's products, too! Just ask 3x World Champion road cyclist Peter Sagan how Osmo changed his life!) and take their hormones into consideration. Their products literally changed my life. I recovered better, never cramped up, slept better, felt stronger on the bike, and felt more human every day instead of like a zombie. Even better, they taste DELICIOUS!!
Even after I hung up my competitive wheels about a year ago, I continued being really active. I ran more, dabbled in boxing again, and started to powerlift. Now I run a couple of times a week and do an Olympic lifting program four days a week. The Osmo products are still part of my daily arsenal and I couldn't push myself to the degree that I do if I didn't use them. Osmo has made an enormous difference in my life, and maybe it can do the same for you!

Posted 2007-01-14
I was born with a sort of hole or weakness on the base of my spine and have always been warned not to try skiing or horse riding. Anything that affects my tailbone. I am now 51 years old.
When I was 10 years old I slipped on some ice, hit the tailbone and could not walk for about a week.
On Thursday 21st December 2006, I borrowed a gent's cycle to ride for about 2 miles. The bike was not adjusted to suit me and I was concentrating on trying not to wobble into the road, and, in the process, did not realise the saddle was rubbing on my coccyx.
I have been in pain ever since, taking paracetamol to ease the pain. After finding your site I used a half-inflated neck cushion to sit on and switched from Paracetamol to Aspirin. Many thanks for the advice, because I am getting some relief.
Yesterday, I was walking past a Tchibo shop and saw a U shaped neck cushion in the window. I have found this to provide marvellous relief. It raises my coccyx off the seat, is light and portable, you can take it anywhere and it squashes into a small space.
I have an appointment with my GP on Monday, 15th January 2007 and will keep you and the website updated with what happens. I would like my GP to request an x-ray, but will wait and see what she says.
I live in Swaffham, Norfolk, by the way, but not sure how to choose a good consultant - will wait to see what the GP says. I am hoping that with aspirin and my wonderful U shaped cushion will eventually make the pain go away like it did when I was 10 and I will not need drastic medical intervention.
If you have any questions to ask me, feel free to ask!
Do keep up the good work, you have really helped me in the last few days.
Many thanks

It's very much a case of déjà vu as severe frosts have once again hit many vineyard areas of France. Whilst last year's frosts, which struck at the very end of April, seemed to be mainly confined to Burgundy, Champagne and the Loire Valley, this year seems to be more widespread with vineyards in Bordeaux, Alsace, Languedoc and the Rhône Valley also badly affected. Elsewhere, England, northern Italy, Switzerland and Germany have reported severe frost damage also.
Last week, temperatures plunged, especially on 'black Thursday' where -7 degrees was registered in some regions. With budburst coming early this year, many of the young buds were left resembling withered tobacco leaves.
How can the frosts be combatted?
Some vignerons light candles or small, oil-fired heaters, placed amongst the vines to help raise temperatures. However, you need hundreds of these and they are more effective against ground frost, but less so against air frost.
Some vignerons use fine water jets (mainly in Chablis). The ice forms a protective layer over the young buds. However, few have this facility.
In some regions there are devices resembling wind turbines which help mix the air up and draw the frosts away from the vines. These are few and far between in Europe however. Some vignerons have used helicopters to create a downdraft to stir the air around the vines. Indeed several vignerons in the Loire Valley clubbed together and rented seven helicopters to help ward off frosts in this way – but you can imagine how expensive this is! Only in Bordeaux can the top châteaux afford such measures and perhaps a few top vineyards in Champagne and Burgundy.
What's the damage?
It's very early days yet to fully assess the damage. Whilst the main buds might be killed off, there are secondary buds that can take over. However, these are usually less fruitful, so yields will inevitably be affected – just like last year. Also, the vine itself becomes affected and will yield less in future harvests to come.
Some vignerons have reported between 50-100% damage to their vines. Regions like Chablis were devastated last year, so this will hit them incredibly hard. Even down in the south, where frosts tend to be rare, Louis-Pascal Bouchard at Domaine des Grands Devers in the Rhône Valley stated that between 30% and 100% of their vineyards have been hit.
Christine Jacob at Domaine Lucien Jacob said that they had been up throughout the night several times last week burning straw bales beside the vines in appellations such as Savigny-lès-Beaune. She said that in adversity, the local villagers have pulled together in a spirit of cooperation. She said that last week her local boulanger brought freshly baked croissants out to vignerons keeping watch over their vineyards at 5am in the morning. Some good always comes out of a crisis …

The singer/songwriter will set out on the road in March
Laura Marling has further extended her forthcoming UK tour, adding a second London live date to her March itinerary.
The Berkshire-born singer/songwriter will release her sixth studio album, 'Semper Femina', on March 10, via her own 'More Alarming Records' label.
The new live date will take place at London's Roundhouse on March 21, which will end her latest UK tour. Marling is already booked to play the same venue in the capital four days earlier (March 17), but demand for tickets has prompted the adding of a second date.
See Laura Marling's UK tour dates for March 2017 below.
8 March – O2 Academy, Leeds
9 March – Colston Hall, Bristol
10 March – O2 ABC, Glasgow
12 March – Albert Hall, Manchester
13 March – O2 Academy, Oxford
14 March – Institute, Birmingham
16 March – Dome, Brighton
17 March – Roundhouse, London
18 March – City Hall, Salisbury
21 March – Roundhouse, London
Marling unveiled her new album last week, revealing that it intends to "address questions of how society views sexuality and gender but without seeking to provide definitive answers."
"I started out writing 'Semper Femina' as if a man was writing about a woman, and then I thought; 'it's not a man, it's me'," she said of the record. "I don't need to pretend it's a man to justify the intimacy, or the way I'm looking and feeling about women. It's me looking specifically at women and feeling great empathy towards them, and by proxy, towards myself."
Marling also shared the self-directed new video for 'Semper Femina"s lead single 'Soothing'. Said to be inspired by vivid dreams she experienced while making the new record in LA in 2015, you can watch the video here.

Announced for Vita back in April, Compile Heart's second HN outing for the console looks a hell of a lot better than Producing Perfection (still trying to review it without self-harming). A trailer popped up a couple of weeks back, must have missed it, but it reintroduces the main cast, and Famitsu (ho ho), Rom and Ram, plus some of the settings.
UPDATE: The original trailer got pulled, but there's now a new gameplay trailer out on Compile Heart's page, showing off some gameplay as the girls go battering mushrooms and glowing bulbs, and do a little dancing on the side.
