This webinar will feature an examination of the current status of the hemagglutination inhibition assay (HAI) as a surrogate test for evaluating serological status to influenza, both vaccines and natural infection. This program will include guidelines for the assay and describe some of the technical aspects and known shortcomings, such as the variability of this technique both within a single laboratory (validation) and in comparison to other laboratories. Also included in this discussion will be the current status of the HAI assay for H5N1 vaccine response evaluations.

The presentation help the audience understand some of the known disadvantages of the HAI assay, other assays currently being used in the influenza field will be discussed, including the influenza microneutralization test, single-radial hemolysis, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), and neuraminidase inhibition. In addition, a brief mention of some of newer techniques being used to evaluate influenza vaccines, including ELISPOT, will be discussed.

Finally, there will be a brief discussion of the assays Focus has available for influenza vaccine analyses, as well as some of the new tests Focus has developed specifically for this purpose as an example of the portfolio of assays often used in evaluating new influenza vaccine candidates.

Businesses now have the power to leverage the Internet - search engines, blogs, social media - to reach customers more effectively. This includes connecting with customers where they hang out online and engaging in conversations about the topics most important to them. Social CRM (Customer Relationship Management) is all about joining the ongoing conversations our customers and prospects are already having and not trying to control them. It's realizing that people like doing business with people they like and love doing business with people they trust.

Description: This webinar is Week #4 in a brand new, 12-week series of webinars on Tuesday evenings covering much of the material in Henry Blackaby’s book Experiencing God. You, your family, and your friends are invited to participate in this world-wide, online LIFE group. This is free and will be inspirational and transformational.

What makes this LIFE group different than most, if not all, previous Experiencing God life groups around the world is that this one is online and will integrate online journaling. Because it’s online, people from different countries will be able to interact live during each webinar. God is using this venue to build and unite a vibrant online community of disciples of Jesus.

In his outstanding book “Experiencing God,” Henry Blackaby writes, “In the mind and teaching of Jesus, a church was a vital, living, dynamic fellowship of believers. The Greek word “koinonia,” most frequently translated “fellowship,” is the best way to describe what a church ought to be.”

Henry Blackaby writes, “When God speaks, it is important to write down what He says.” While Henry talks some about journaling in his book, he doesn’t go into nearly the depth we will. Bruce Wilkinson, in his book “Secrets of the Vine,” shares how journaling played a key role in him breaking through to a deeper abiding in Jesus and a life filled with fruitfulness. Yet, Bruce doesn’t explain how to journal strategically.

On several occasions during my 2-way journaling, Jesus has told me, “Coaching people to journal to hear My voice is your sweet spot.” The LORD has wired me to be an UNCOMMON Journaler, spending hours each day journaling strategically. Why? Rev. Mark Jarvis says if a leader wants his followers to jump six inches, he must jump six feet first.

Now, Jerry and I’d like to share your coaching and journaling expertise to propel you forward into your destiny. Come join us and be sure to invite your family and friends, too.
