Western blotting / Immunoblotting is an analytical technique used to detect a target protein in a sample (containing a complex mixture of proteins) by using a polyclonal or monoclonal antibody specific to that protein. The mixture of protein can be separated based on their size by poly acrylamide gel electrophoresis, The protein bands are transferred to blotting membrane, the most widely used membranes for western blotting are Nitrocellulose and Polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membranes. To get the Comparison between these membranes and applications click here.
Once the gel run is completed, gel is carefully removed from the plate and soaked in western blot transfer buffer, western blot transfer recipe includes tris, glycine and sds and has pH of 8.4 methanol is also added to the transfer buffer. (For every 100ml western blot transfer buffer 20ml methanol is added.)
Membrane Arrangement: filter papers on top, gel, western blot membrane, filter papers at the bottom.

Transfer & Staining
Electric current is applied to transfer the protein from the gel to the membrane, transfer time, applied current and voltage need to be optimized to get better results. The blotting membrane can be stained using Ponceau S which is a reversible stain and the dye can be easily removed by washing the membrane with water. Staining with Ponceau S is helpful to know the effectiveness of protein transfer and which doesn't have any deleterious effect on the protein, if the protein is not transferred to the membrane further processing will be waste of time.
The membrane supports used in Western blotting have a high affinity for proteins. Therefore, after the transfer of the proteins from the gel, it is important to block the remaining surface of the membrane to prevent nonspecific binding of the detection antibodies during subsequent steps. Many Blocking buffers are available to block the free sites on the membrane, BSA, non fat dry milk powder etc in PBS(phosphate buffered saline) or TBS (Tris buffered saline) with minute percentage of tween 20 or Triton X-100 can be used as blocking buffer. blocking is done overnight at 4oC. The protein in the blocking solution will attach to the membrane in all places where the target proteins have not attached. thus when antibody is added which will bind only to the target protein so background interference will be reduced.
Incubation with Primary & Secondary Antibodies
After blocking the membrane overnight, excess blocking agent is removed by washing the membrane with PBS and tween 20 (0.1%) (wash buffer) for sometime, then membrane is incubated in 1o Antibody solution (antibody solution is made in PBS and Tween 20 (0.1%), appropriate antibody dilutions need to be made which will better results, dilutions ranging from 1/50-1/500,000 can be made according to the antibody stock concentration.primary antibodies are not directly detected, tagged secondary antibodies are used for the detection.secondary antibodies are produced after detecting the antibodies belonging to a foreign species within the blood stream of vertebrate Eg: if mouse monoclonal antibodies are used as primary antibody then secondary antibody will be anti mouse IgG obtained from non-mouse host. During incubation with antibody solutions membrane is kept in gel rocker with gentle rocking. 1o antibody incubation is done for 30 mins to 2hrs sometimes more incubation periods are required. Membrane is washed with washing buffer for 5 mins to remove the excess primary antibodies. Similarly membrane is incubated with 2o antibody with suitable dilutions. incubation period varies from 30 mins to 2 hrs, secondary antibody will bind to the primary antibody, secondary antibodies are conjugated with enzyme which on reaction with substrate in the developing solution will yield colour. excess antibodies are washed off with wash buffer. there are variety of tags or enzyme labels can be conjugated to the secondary antibody. Most widely used enzymes are Horse Radish Peroxidase(HRP) and Alkaline Phosphatase (AP).sometimes radioisotopes fluorophores etc are also used, radioisotopes are expensive and has short half-life period.
Developing an immunoblot of HRP conjugated antibody is explained here, developing solution is made by dissolving the substrate 0.03% diaminobenzidene(DAB) in PBS and 1% CoCl2, to this 0.1% hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)is added prior to the incubation with the membrane. even preformulated DAB solutions are readily available. Wash the membrane with wash buffer and incubate with developing solution for 30 seconds to one minute, DAB reacts with HRP in the presence of peroxide to yield an insoluble brown-colored product at locations where peroxidase-conjugated antibodies are bound to the target protein. The reaction can be stopped by adding water.
Western Blot Membrane Showing Protein Bands
There are various other methods to develop the blot depending on the nature of tag or label used in the secondary antibody.
Important: Touching the membrane with bare hands will give background while developing. Rocking the membrane for sometime with the blocking buffer is shown to give better results. Appropriate dilutions of antibody will yield good results.
Application in Medical Diagnostics
Application in Medical Diagnostics
- HIV western blot test is used as confirmatory test for detecting anti-HIV antibody in human serum sample
- Western Blotting is also used for confirmatory test for Hepatitis B Infection.

Public Forums > ST1100 Archive of Wisdom
(Stickie) AOW article pictures. *
There are a lot of articles in the AOW section that contain pictures that have been previously uploaded to Webshots. Over the years, it made sense to upload them to Webshots vs. st-riders.net.
Unfortunately, Webshots has been bought out by another company who is currently moving everything to another server.
Before the Webshot pictures were moved, they were downloaded and will eventually be uploaded to the st-riders.net server for safe keeping.
In the mean time, this means that some of the AOW articles will lose their attached pictures, until the KOTAOW can edit the articles and reference the correct links back to the pictures.
There are currently 178 ST1100 articles and 109 ST1300 articles.
Please be patient the next several months, while the editing process continues.
Tom Melnik:
I have tagged each AOW article with a single * at the end of the title for the articles that I have successfully recovered the pictures or did not have any attached pictures.
Any article tagged with double **, means there are still missing pictures from other sources, other than Webshots.

Energy Design Engineering Center ( Solar Thermal Magazine)
Sunrun, the largest dedicated residential solar company in the United States, has announced the opening of a new solar design engineering center in Irvine, Calif., where customized system designs are created for customers across the country. Over the course of 2015, the design center will generate at least 50 permanent jobs in the Irvine community, ranging from system designers to technical support.
According to the recently released Solar Foundation's National Solar Jobs Census 2014, the solar industry has been adding jobs at a rate 20 times faster than the overall economy, meaning in 2014, one out of every 78 new jobs was created by the solar industry. More than 54,000 California residents currently work at solar companies, according to the Solar Energy Industries Association.
At the ribbon cutting event today, Mayor Steven Choi expressed his support for the new facility:
I am glad Sunrun has chosen Irvine for its Design Center. We strive to attract companies that are leading the way into the future.
The Irvine facility will be an important resource for meeting consumer demand for solar. Once a homeowner decides to use solar power for their home, Sunrun collects their data and sends it to the design center. Sunrun design consultants help the homeowner get the most value from solar power with Sunrun BrightPath, the industry's first end-to-end automated software platform for managing home solar projects – from selecting hardware to pricing, scheduling, permitting, installation and beyond. The design consultant ensures the solar system meets the homeowner's personal energy needs and savings goals, efficiently and accurately.
"There is increasing consumer demand for home solar as more Americans look for cleaner and more affordable energy solutions," said Ethan Miller, senior vice president of operations at Sunrun.
I'm excited to celebrate the opening of our new facility. It demonstrates Sunrun's focus on simplifying the process of going solar, which ultimately leads to a better customer experience.
As the first company to introduce solar as a service to American homeowners, Sunrun has reinvented the way people buy electricity. Sunrun gives homeowners access to the smartest energy source – sunlight – and takes care of everything so families can focus on more important things, like putting savings back in their pockets each month.
To view the open positions at the Irvine design engineering center and learn more about what it is like to work at Sunrun, visit the Sunrun Careers page at www.sunrun.com/why-sunrun/about/careers.

Made it to Atlanta!
June 03, 2016
BENEFITING: International OCD Foundation
EVENT: Atlanta - 1 MILLION STEPS 4 OCD WALK 2016
EVENT DATE: Jun 04, 2016
Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is an illness that effects 2-3% of the US population. 50% of those OCD cases are severe.
So why do we still have stigma that keeps people from getting effective treatment?
OCD is classified as one of the top ten most disabling illnesses by the World Health Organization, in terms of lost earnings and diminished quality of life. Despite this, it takes on average 14-17 years from diagnosis for a sufferer to receive effective treatment.
I've seen first hand how OCD sneaks into a person's life. It creates havoc. It sneaks into everything you love, bit by bit. Before you know it you're not you anymore. You're OCD.
After battling OCD at the age of 16 I gained a passion for raising awareness of mental illness. Once I learned there is a treatment for this terrible disorder, I knew I wanted to give other sufferers the same information. In 2014 I created a YouTube channel dedicated to raising awareness of mental illness. Mostly focusing on OCD.
However, I just have a few blogs. The International OCD Foundation works tireously to help people with OCD. They spread only the best information, guide people to the proper treatment, and help people know they're not alone. I wish I knew about them when I was really struggling! That's why I have created my own fundraising page, so you and I can help them in their amazing efforts!
Last year I went to the OCD Walk in Boston with Team Bradley Hospital. I went to their intensive outpatient program for OCD and love them dearly! It's the therapy they taught me, exposure and response prevention, that changed my life from constant OCD to me again. Since last year's walk I have moved down south and am now closer to Atlanta.
My dad and I will be walking as "Team Shalom Aleichem" in the International OCD Foundation's annual 5k walk. If any of my subscribers and friends are going to this walk, feel free to join our team! If you can't make it, please consider donating to the International OCD Foundation through our fundraiser. If you can't, please share this page or the cause!
Sufferers of mental illness aren't victims, they're survivors. <3

CSID is proud once again to co-sponsor the biennial UNT Comic Studies Conference. You can download the FULL PROGRAM here.
This meeting seeks to overcome the antiquated understandings of comic books as "children's trash" with no redeeming or literary value. Such views have been replaced in recent years with an explosion of interest in using graphic novels and sequential art for innovative educational programs.
There are now literally hundreds of college and university courses worldwide, and a skyrocketing number of K-12 classrooms, that integrate Comics Studies in their curriculum.
Comics are a proven resource for motivating reluctant readers, engaging multiple learning styles, and developing multi-media critical literacy, which involves the ability to thoughtfully analyze and evaluate combinations of text and imagery.
Graphic literature not only addresses a wide variety of social issues and cultural topics, but also invites development of skills in critical thinking, visual rhetoric, deductive reasoning, and aesthetic as well as philosophical judgment.
Comics Studies thus offer ideal pedagogical materials for interdisciplinary studies since 'Sequential Art' explores these diverse intersections of the artistic qualities for literature, art, and cinema while also providing thought-provoking mythic allegories for historical, political, and philosophical issues.
Not to mention… students of all ages love it!
This conference explores
- Comics Across the Curriculum
- Comics Across Culture
- Comics Across the Community
- Comics Across the Classroom.
Highlighting the diverse UNT faculty who use comics or graphic novels in their teaching and research, panels will also examine the community connections and interdisciplinary value of bringing comics into student-centered learning environments!
Papers and panel submissions due by January 28th.
Would you like to participate?
Questions and inquiries can be directed to

Fall is here!
Finally an end to blazing car seats & steering wheels. I love summer best, but don't like getting roasted to a turn as soon as I get into the car. That shower taken early goes instantly null & void. Then you worry about how your vapor trail is being sensed by the general public as you stroll into work or through the store. I don't like the paranoia from summer-induced B.O. but I do love a sunny warm day. Guess there's really no pleasing me,
So with Fall now officially here, we're starting to turn towards hearth & home type scents, foodie ones, favorites that bring back fond memories, Christmasy one. You know how it goes. You've been around long enough to know a certain scent brings a specific place & time to mind, so we're finding all sorts of delights to try out for our storefront and we're startign out with home fragrancing.
Wax tarts are probably the quickest way to make a home give off that warm, cozy vibe, whether it's an electric one or one with a votive candle warming it slowly from below. (I like the latter, personally.) So here is a short list of some of the fragrances I'll be trying out in wax tarts for this year's Fall/Winter/Holiday selection. I'd also love to hear from you how you like them, if you don't why not, what notes do you prefer, and which ones do you want to see included instead. Also do you like the shaped ones I've always had or would you prefer smaller ones, single use simple square shaped ones, that don't require cutting into portions. Please let me know!
Wax Tarts Scents for Fall/WInter/Holiday 2019

Reflections on #IFBC Seattle and the foundations of our food.
As predicted and expected, we had a grand time at IFBC in Seattle last weekend. The surroundings, the conversation, the company, the food samplings, and yes, the swag. I always walk away from a conference recharged and refreshed, and this was no exception.
Out of many thought-provoking and entertaining sessions, one of the most engaging was the first, with Karen Page and Andrew Dornenberg, two of today's most renowned food writers who shared their inspiring story with warmth, wisdom and humor. I've been a fan for many years, and started using the seasoning guidelines tucked away in the back of my dog-eared, stained and scribbled-upon copy of Culinary Artistry long before they came out with the gloriously exponential expansion of that idea, The Flavor Bible. (Forgive me for sounding like a bit of a hipster. How did the hipster burn his tongue? He drank his coffee before it was cool.)
Page has just come out with the Vegetarian Flavor Bible, the ebook of which was generously given to attendees to peruse (I can totally vouch for its excellence), and the last part of their presentation was devoted to talking about the potential health benefits of a plant-based diet, with emphasis on veganism – and certainly many have found great results from this approach. Being people who are passionate about all kinds of food and many approaches to health, including those for whom a vegan diet might be detrimental to their health, there was of course some online conversation among attendees; for just a moment, you could sense the #ifbc Twitter stream shifting uncomfortably in its seat.
And then we headed into the beef butchering demo. #ironyorjustuncannyjuxtaposition #thingsyoucantmakeup
Later in the conference, the always wonderful Shauna Ahern spoke to the overall concept of healthful eating not being one-size-fits-all, as Tweeted by Kristin Price:
"Don't ever call a recipe "Healthy"." Everyone's idea of healthy is different. Health is so very personal. #IFBC @GlutenFreeGirl
— Kristin Price (@kristinpotpie) September 21, 2014
Yet the Plant-Based Diet as a beacon of nutritional virtue remains pervasive in our cultural conversations about diet. It's worth unpacking the term: What exactly do we mean by "plant-based"? Does everyone hear the same thing when they encounter it? Do we all mean plant-ONLY? Some interpret the term as synonymous with veganism, period. Others allow for ovo-lacto vegetarianism at the very least. Others still, omnivores like myself, can still find value in the term if we see it as meaning plants are the foundation of our diets, if not the exclusive be-all end-all.
I spent 15 years of my life as a vegetarian, and indeed, the two cookbooks I've been lucky to co-author with my amazingly kitchen-gifted mom and coblogger are "101 Things To Do With Tofu" and last year's "Virgin Vegan: Everyday Recipes". Since my daughter was born, I had the experience of going gluten-free on her behalf and finding bonus benefits for myself, and presently keep to a mostly paleo diet (exceptions soon to abound with the upcoming holidays, naturally), yet I still draw from recipes in those books, and the vegetarian and vegan books that inspired and informed us, because PLANTS.
The one thing all nutritional approaches to health and fitness have in common? MORE. VEGETABLES. Whether you're pairing those more-vegetables with tofu and tempeh, or with grains and cheese, or with grass-fed beef and backyard-hen eggs, you cannot go wrong with vegetables taking up a significant portion of your overall volume. No matter what else you're omitting or adding, VEGETABLES. It's the reason that even now as a mostly-paleo omnivore, I have no problem supporting and participating in Meatless Monday. Even then, people will tweak plants-as-foundation for their own needs, as some may have inflammatory issues with nightshades or others may need to reduce or omit starchier vegetables, but the foundation of flora remains.
I thought Dr. Jean Layton, the Gluten-Free Doctor, summed it up well in this Tweet during the Page and Dornenberg session:
Food is meant to be enjoyed. All food directly from nature have benefits. Even Beef (grass fed) vegetables, nuts #IFBC #EatTheRainbow

There is is, just as Michael Pollan has so succinctly put it, Eat food, not too much, mostly plants. I think that goes for us all, vegan and vegetarian, paleo and primal, traditional foods, low carb, gluten-free, or just plain food-eating food lovers.
P.S. Really, do check out The Vegetarian Flavor Bible. Truly a worthwhile addition to your cookshelf.

The Fort Morgan girls basketball team could never get in a rhythm on Wednesday in their first game with Windsor at the Vista PEAK Bison Bash.
Turnovers plagued the Mustangs all night, leading to a 54-18 loss in the tournament game.
Fort Morgan hung around in the first quarter with its defense, limiting Windsor to just seven points. The game began to get away from the Mustangs in the second quarter as their turnovers were leading to points for the Wizards. Behind 47 turnovers, Windsor scored in double figures in each of the last three quarters, including a 21-point third quarter, to get the win.
Windsor was able to get 58 field goal attempts in the game as a result of the turnovers compared to just 33 from the Mustangs. The Wizards made 40 percent of their shot attempts and the Mustangs were held to 24 percent from the field.
The Mustangs were led by junior Haley Lewis with eight points and junior Hallee Shaver with four points and three steals in the loss. Six different players scored in the game.
Fort Morgan drops to 0-1 this season and will return to the Vista PEAK Bison Bash on Friday for a consolation semifinal game against Thomas Jefferson, who lost to Sierra 51-26. The Mustangs will tipoff at 3:30 p.m. with the Spartans and will also play Saturday morning to wrap up their tournament run.

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan speaks at a conference of exporters, Istanbul, Turkey, December 21, 2018
Pro-Revolution Demonstration in Regime-Held Daraa
Brett McGurk, the US envoy to the anti-ISIS coalition, has resigned in protest at Donald Trump's order for a full American withdrawal at Syria.
McGurk had said privately that he was leaving at the end of February, but he brought forward the date to December 31 after Trump's Wednesday command.
A State Department official confirmed that McGurk had informed Secretary of State Mike Pompeo on Friday of his decision.
McGurk had been briefing coalition partners, before Trump's surprise announcement, that the US was committed to remaining in Syria, fighting the Islamic State and countering Iran.
Sources said McGurk viewed Trump's order as reckless and could not defend it. He was also swayed by the resignation of Defense Secretary James Mattis on Thursday.
The envoy said, in an e-mail to colleagues:
The recent decision by the president came as a shock and was a complete reversal of policy that was articulated to us. It left our coalition partners confused and our fighting partners bewildered.
I worked this week to help manage some of the fallout but — as many of you heard in my meetings and phone calls — I ultimately concluded that I could not carry out these new instructions and maintain my integrity.
A sr military official told me US special forces troops distraught, upset, morally disturbed by having to tell their kurdish allies in Syria that, because of orders, their promises of defense won't be kept.
— Richard Engel (@RichardEngel) December 21, 2018
President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has postponed a Turkish offensive into Kurdish-controlled areas in northeast Syria.
Erdoğan said the postponement is due to Donald Trump's order to withdraw US forces supporting the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces:
Last week, we have taken the decision to launch an operation east of Euphrates and made it public. However, the telephone call with Trump, the contacts of our diplomacy, and security units and statements by America have all led us to wait for a while.
The Turkish President had pledged imminent attacks on the positions of the Kurdish militia YPG, the leading group in the US-backed SDF.
But on Wednesday, Trump suddenly altered the situation — with the prospective abandonment of the Kurdish control of about 27% of Syrian territory — when he commanded that 2,000 US personnel must leave.
Syria Daily, Dec 21: US to End Air Campaign v. Islamic State
Erdoğan's postponement also likely stems from practical considerations. US and Turkish officials said he was so surprised by Trump's declaration, first made in their phone call on December 14, that he urged the President to be cautious. The reason — Turkish forces were not ready to move into much of the Kurdish-controlled territory.
ISIS, acc to Trump himself, had been defeated, Erdogan said in a phone call.
Turkey's military was strong and could take on any remaining militant pockets. Why did some 2K U.S. troops still need to be there?
"You know what? It's yours," Trump said of Syria. "I'm leaving" (WP)
— Ragıp Soylu (@ragipsoylu) December 22, 2018
On Friday, the President cautioned that the postponement is not open-ended and rests on a fulfillment of Trump's order to detach the US from Kurdish groups:
In our face-to-face meetings and telephone conversations we saw that we think similarly with Trump in many points in the Syria issue. In the past days, we managed to hear the most clear and hopeful words from the U.S. administration in this issue so far. We welcome these words with content but also caution due to bad experiences of the past.
He promised that, in the end, Turkish forces will eliminate the Syrian Kurdish Democratic Union Party (PYD) and its YPG militia, which Ankara sees as part of the Turkish Kurdish insurgency PKK: "We will follow a style of operation that would eradicate both PKK-PYD and Daesh [Islamic State] elements on the field in Syria in the upcoming months."
At the same time — having told Trump that the US presence is unnecessary because "99%" of ISIS has been vanquished — he provided the cover that Turkey would focus on the final defeat of the group: "We will be working on our operational plans to eliminate ISIS (Islamic State) elements, which are said to remain intact in Syria, in line with our conversation with President Trump."
Foreign Minister Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu said the Turkey-U.S. Joint Working Group will meet in Washington on January 8 to discuss the American withdrawal.
He framed the postponement of the Turkish offensive as a step to avoid friendly fire on departing US forces.
Limited Fightback v. Trump?
A US official has pointed to a limited fightback against Donald Trump's order for withdrawal.
The official said the Pentagon is considering operations against the Islamic State with special forces teams based in Iraq, carrying out cross-border raids.
But the official said other options are being considered and that deliberations are still in the planning stages, with no final decision made.
Immediately after Trump tweeted his decision on Wednesday, Pentagon officials gave a 60 to 100-day window for withdrawal, although one said it could been sooner.
Journalist Shane Bauer brings a report from eastern Syria:
A source in the east bank of Deir Ezzour in Syria tells me people are buying guns to prepare for a regime or ISIS incursion after the US withdraws.

Pro-Revolution Demonstration in Regime-Held Daraa
People gathered on Friday in regime-held Daraa city in southern Syria to revive their call for a Syrian Revolution.
Videos showed the gathering near the Omari Mosque:

The demonstration was the first since pro-Assad forces reoccupied opposition-held territory in southern Syria in June and July.
Under surrender arrangements, pro-Assad units are not present in Daraa city, with security under Russia police and "reconciled" rebel factions.
Daraa was the original site of the Syrian uprising in March 2011, with residents demonstrating for rights and justice after the detention and abuse of teenagers who sprayed pro-revolution graffiti on walls.

- He got excellent fate (Utkrusht koti nu Sobhagya laiyene aavya).
- He had done many favour on us (Uthrusht koti nu upkar kidu aapna par).
- He had given the theory of life (Uthkrusht koti nu alamban aapyo che).
- And he was the first King
- Muni (saint/ sadhu)
- Kevali (The one who broke all his karma and attain the true knowledge and can see past, present and future)
- Tirthankara
- He was the first tirthanakar to establish the dharma again after 18 kota kota sagorapam ( 10 kota koti (10cr* 1cr) Palyopam = 1 Sagorapam ).
- He taught us how to live the life.

Meaning Of Ashta Prakari Puja
Generally Jains use the following eight items to perform puja of a Tirthankara in the temple. Symbolically each item represents a specific religious virtue and one should reflect on it while performing puja.
- Jala Puja: Water
- Chandan Puja: Sandal-wood
- Pushpa Puja: Flower
- Dhup Puja: Incense
- Dipak Puja: Candle
- Akshat Puja: Rice
- Naivedya Puja: Sweet food
- Fal Puja: Fruit
1. Jala Puja: (Water)
Water symbolises the ocean. Every living being continuously travels through life's ocean of birth, death, and misery. This puja reminds that one should live his life with honesty, truthfulness, love, and compassion towards all living beings. This way one will be able to cross life's ocean and attain liberation (Moksha). This is known as samyak-darshana, samyak-jnana, and samyak-charitrya in the Jain religion.
2. Chandan Puja: (Sandal-wood)
Chandan symbolises knowledge (jnana). By doing this puja, one should thrive for right knowledge. Jainism believes that the path of knowledge is the main path to attain Moksha or liberation.Bhakti or devotion helps in the early stages of one's effort for liberation.
3. Pushpa Puja: (Flower)
The flower symbolises conduct.Our conduct should be like a flower, which provides fragrance and beauty to all living beings without discrimination. We should live our life like flowers full of love and compassion towards all living beings.
4. Dhup Puja: (Incense)
Dhup symbolises monk-hood life. While burning itself, incense provides fragrance to others. Similarly, true monks and nuns spend their entire life selflessly for the benefit of all living beings. This puja reminds that one should thrive for a ascetic life.
5. Dipak Puja: (Candle)
The flame of dipak represents a pure consciousness, i.e. a soul without any bondage of a karma or a liberated soul. In Jainism, such a soul is called a Siddha or God. The ultimate goal of every living being is to become liberated. By doing this puja one should thrive to follow five great vows; non-violence, truthfulness, non-stealing, chastity, and non-possession. Ultimately these vows will lead to liberation.
6. Akshat Puja: (Rice)
Rice is a kind of grain which is non-fertile. One cannot grow rice plants by seeding rice. Symbolically, it means that rice is the last birth. By doing this puja one should thrive to put all the efforts in life in such a way that this life becomes one's last life, and after the end of his life one will not be reborn again.
7. Naivedya Puja: (Sweet food)
Naivedya symbolises tasty food. By doing this puja, one should thrive to reduce or eliminate attachment to tasty food. Healthy food is essential for survival, however one should not live for tasty food. Ultimate aim in one's life is to attain a life where no food is essential for survival. That is the life of a liberated soul who lives in Moksha for ever in ultimate blissful state.
8. Fal Puja: (Fruit)
It is a symbol of Moksha or liberation. If we live our life without any attachment to worldly affairs, continue to perform our duty without any expectation and reward, be a witness to all the incidents that occur surrounding us, truly follow monk-hood life, and have a love and compassion to all living beings, we will attain the fruit of liberation. This is the last puja symbolising the ultimate achievement of our life.

Achieving IT Nimbleness: 4 Steps to Start Your Journey
IT must not become marginalized as a result of the hot new technologies available. Rather, IT should give itself a makeover to become its own hot new thing. In an article for InformationWeek, Susan Nunziata shares four steps from the Hackett Group for creating a more agile IT:
- Reallocate resources from a transactional focus to a focus on adding value.
- Embrace digital transformation.
- Lead the organization's information and analytics journey.
- Adopt customer-centric service design and delivery principles.
Big, Big Steps
Granted, each of the above steps is kind of a bear in itself, but nobody said becoming the hot new thing is easy. Regarding the first step, too many IT resources get tied up in essentially business-as-usual functions. Businesses need to take on more formal service delivery models that ensure strategic work receives the most resources. And they can cut down on complexity and redundancy by applying economies of scale more rigorously to shared services.
Meanwhile, embracing digital transformation is, well, yeah, a bear. It involves being mindful of where new technology can assist innovation, shortening application development cycles through agile, and then sprinkling DevOps on top of everything. The equally complicated other side to this equation is developing analytics that allow the business to make better moves. This is the harder half, because qualified people must be found to study the data before anything else can even occur.
About the final step, Nunziata share this:
The Hackett Group report advises IT to adopt practices such as Design Thinking, not only for external-facing solutions, but also for solutions created for internal customers. If you design and build systems and processes around customer experiences, you must take small, iterative steps and gain immediate end-user feedback. Those requirements can't be met through waterfall development practices. One technique is to set up councils and focus groups early in the process to provide voice-of-the-customer recommendations throughout the project.

Thanks guys - really appreciate it. It would have taken me a long time to figure that out! Redstart was the furthest thing from my mind (OK- Curlew might have been a bit further, but you know what I mean). Not at all like the Redstart or Black Redstart that we have in Europe. Next time, I'll keep a completely open mind about bird names and not exclude familiar names from the search!
Chris Kenyon started following Small peach, white, olive-green bird near Boston, MA
Photographed this in low vegetation in the forested fringe around Chestnut Hill reservoir, southwest of the city. Habit was that of a flycatcher (?) or possibly warbler or vireo, flitting around from branch to branch, very close to me (had to move back to achieve minimum focus distance of about 3 metres with some shots). Spent 5 consecutive days within a few hundred yards of where these photos were taken and saw many birds, but no further occurrence of this one. 'Peach' coloured 'shoulders' contrast with lighter yellow undertail. Prominent black tip to tail. Extensive 'bristles' around the base of the beak. Some photos (in poor light) suggested an olive green-brown back. The photos were taken August 14, around 10am. Go easy on me (!) - my normal habitat is Europe. I spent a week in Boston on vacation and photographed anything that flew - most of them I can identify but I'm having difficulty with this one. Thanks in advance to anyone who can identify this.

Pruning The TreePosted: 30/01/2016 Filed under: Corporate, Customer | Tags: Corporate, Customers, Value Leave a comment
Most of the companies I work with have obvious #value, and a firm strategy for delivering that to their customers. But when you probe, explore and investigate more, you realise that not everything they do adds #value. It's often worse than that – for some companies, much of what they do is actually distracting customers from seeing or feeling their #value.
By way of explanation, here's an example of a Christmas present. Last Christmas (there's a song in there!), I bought my son a #gaming chair – one of those that looks like a racing driver's seat. Imagine a teenager relaxing and playing on the Sony PS4, scoring footie goals and crashing sports cars, and you get the idea.
I'd read plenty of reviews – which is why I ordered this particular make and model. From the point of ordering, what would add #value to this item is great packaging, careful delivery and clear instructions (for setting up the wireless connectivity, to prevent tripping over cables between different gadgets we've hooked up in the den). And yet there were none of those things. The seat was poorly packaged (the lightweight wrapper had to be repaired by the courier); it was dumped outside our front door by the delivery driver; and it was completely devoid of decent set-up instructions. And that's where the problems started.
We just couldn't fathom how to get the seat to work, and couldn't find out how to fix the issue. So we tried to call the manufacturer, to find they were closed right through Christmas and until the New Year. Now here's the key point. I naturally visited their website, to find it had set-up instructions for pretty much every known device. But I couldn't search for my device; I had to scroll through pages of irrelevant data to get to what I needed. And when I viewed the company's YouTube channel, what I found was vanity – lots of showing off about how wonderful the sound and movement experience would be on this device. Both website and channel were bloated by extra content, hiding the most important aspect – getting the darned thing to work (that's a milder version of the word I actually used on Christmas morning). It was like a fat belly hiding a washboard stomach or (in more polite terms) a tree that needs pruning.
And that explains this image – it shows all the things that hide #core value. I'm making the point that most companies need to do some pruning – cutting off some of the branches of (a tree or bush) so that it will grow better or look better (or be free of decay or disease). In terms of #value, it's about reducing yet improving something, by removing parts that are neither necessary nor wanted.
So what should you prune back? First, you need to think about your core #value. Next, you have to decide what is preventing the customer from seeing and feeling that #value. In my experience, #value gets lost somehow; smothered over time by what the market dictates (or you think it wants), and what your people decide the customer needs. It's the world of extras, add-ons and embellishments. Some add #value, but many just don't. It's natural and critical to adapt and improve. But here's the problem – without starting with a clear definition of your #value, and only adding and doing things that grow that #value, you can end up with something rampant. And then it's time to prune the tree.
Maybe a hard prune is needed – only you can decide. It's probably a choice between clipping away with the secateurs, or hacking away with a saw. But whatever you do, don't panic or regret how sparse and bare the tree will look. See what it's become in the Spring…
Something Fruity For a FridayPosted: 07/08/2015 Filed under: Customer, Personal | Tags: Customers, Service Leave a comment
Just a short story about fun, friends and food. We had a great time eating out with some lovely new friends, at a local pub. Nothing new there, other than a slightly odd experience with desserts.
Now, I continually say that I don't have a sweet tooth. It's not true, and I was sulking slightly because there was nothing on the menu that I fancied. With our friends having Banoffee Pie and a Cheese Board, my wife ordered her favourite – Raspberry Eton Mess. Now, there's usually some excitement and anticipation about Eton Mess – it's made in many different ways, and looks and tastes different depending on the chef. But this one was very different. Unless I'm very much mistaken, it was Strawberry Eton Mess. Maybe in Theale they grow raspberries with the seeds on the outside. Or maybe not. They were definitely strawberries, and not raspberries.
And I still haven't stopped laughing about it. When someone serves up completely the wrong fruit, doesn't even mention it, and expects you not to notice, then I think I've a right to tell the story. Meritology talks about being distinctive. But what this pub did made them #standout for all the wrong reasons. There are 218 pubs in the Reading postcode district (thanks to www.pubsgalore.co.uk for that statistic!), and we'll be trying one of those next time. Maybe they'll have raspberries in their Eton Mess. And maybe we'll get what we ordered. Simple really.
The Centre Of EverythingPosted: 16/07/2015 Filed under: Corporate, Personal | Tags: Corporate, Customers, Service Leave a comment
Ever had a situation when someone made you think? And I mean really think. When you say to yourself – crikey, I hadn't thought of that. They come up with either a brilliant idea, sparking suggestion, or just point out something you really hadn't realised. Here are two of my examples:
First, the wonderful Jost from The Henley Partnership pointed out that we had the word "really" in seven of the titles for our 2015 learning events. So, when I'd stopped laughing at my occasional dopey side (I should have spotted that) we immediately changed the wording to something less repetitive and more obvious to the reader.
Second, we were at our Planning Day last week. By the way, that's a very dull name for an event that's great fun and brilliantly productive. I'm working on that! We bring together 20 HR and business professionals, from our 25 corporate members, working in groups to magically produce the rabbit from the hat – a programme of masterclass events and learning sessions that develops (fast) the capability of their directors. And one of our special guests made the following observation – "Mark, you don't have many sessions about customers". As observations go, it was pretty obvious. But it made me think. So hard that my head hurt. I'd argue that the customer agenda is implicit and even omnipresent. But is it really? Do we need to be very explicit about the fact that the customer is at the centre of everything we do? Otherwise, why do companies exist? What's the point of doing business? You may define your customers differently, but we all have them. No disrespect to the third sector, or any company where the intent is about simply doing good, but I'm here to serve my customers. And I think most of you are too…
So I need to make sure we signpost the customer agenda, or run more events about that specific topic. Subconscious or conscious, we need the business brain to recognise that customers are the most important item on any agenda (the cognisance), and spend more time developing our ability to deliver the value they want and need (the capability). And then people like me need to spread the word about why customers are so important (the contagion). And hence this blog. I'll get down from my soapbox now!
And P.S. thanks to the wonderful members of The Henley Partnership, for their wholehearted support and brilliant contributions to what we do. You are valued even more than you realise. Most of my ideas are inspired by yours. And please keep making me think.
Ask Yourself Those QuestionsPosted: 11/06/2015 Filed under: Personal | Tags: Customers, Proposition, Value Leave a comment
OK, so a slightly flippant post with a serious point. I run The Henley Partnership @Henley_HP for Henley Business School. During our masterclass events, I tweet the insights created, interesting observations and information offered. And I do this carefully, and thoughtfully.
It's always good to get feedback, and useful to just step back – taking a moment to pause and reflect on your own personal and professional value. In anything you are doing. And in everything you are doing. That sounds a really "deep and meaningful" remark, and I don't mean you should question the fundamentals of your being (why you are here on this earth, what you are here to do, that kind of thing). I mean something much more straightforward. You need to question the value of the work that you do, and the way that you do it.
So my moment to pause and reflect was on Tuesday, as I was happily tweeting away during one of our fabulous events. An alert popped up, saying that the MD of Scandinavian consulting business had followed me on Twitter. Nothing extraordinary there. I'm deliberately trying to increase my followers at senior director level. Imagine my surprise when the next alert said I'd been followed by someone whose twitter name includes the legendary cartoon character SpongeBob Squarepants. Ok, so "legendary" is perhaps an exaggeration, but I remember many evenings watching Spongebob with my young son. And there was a recent film made about him (can a sponge be a "him"?)
My point is simple. When you get feedback, make sure you listen. Never stop questioning and challenging your value. Was this telling me my tweets are too trivial? Not serious enough? A bit lightweight? Was that why I'd attracted SpongeBob? I spent a good half hour looking back at my tweets, checking that they were right for my customers and my audience. And I still can't work out what attracted SpongeBob. Maybe the MD of the consulting firm could tell me! But I am happy that my tweets are adding value. Happy that, with a few refinements, they can be better. And happy that I took time out to ask myself those questions. I'd recommend you do the same.
When Suppliers Value Their CustomersPosted: 10/05/2015 Filed under: Corporate | Tags: Customers, Innovation, Segmentation, Suppliers, Value Leave a comment
You'd think I'd be writing about when suppliers value and love their customers. But I'm thinking more literally than that. I'm talking about what happens when suppliers actually place a monetary value on the amount a customer could potentially spend with them (or how much a group of customers could spend on average). It's usually called Customer Lifetime Value, or CLV. What happens?
We've seen this approach with banks and their wealth management divisions. They've segmented their customers by their assets or wealth (and therefore value to them). Segments include Ultra High Net Worth, High Net Worth and Mass Affluent. There are broadly three different types of segmentation. You can segment customers by:
- value, i.e. the amount of revenue or margin you can earn from those customers
- characteristics, i.e. the features of each customer (in this case including the source of someone's wealth)
- behaviours i.e. their attitude to the service and how they use it (in wealth, they could be disinterested, self-directed, demanding etc)
When suppliers consider the features and characteristics of their customers, you often see this empathetic approach being reflected in the service provided. If they focus on behaviours, they can provide service that respects those customer wants and habits. And I'd argue that focusing purely on value leads to certain customer segments being ignored or marginalised. In a world where suppliers are competing fiercely for the best customers (people with "ultra high net worth" and "high net worth"), you can see what's happening to those in the "mass affluent" segment. There are few suppliers willing to provide quality service, leading to customers self-directing their investment decisions (the DIY approach).
Now, I have some sympathy for banks on this point. The sheer weight of legislation, and the impact of the Retail Distribution Review (launched in June 2006 and still having a huge impact) has meant that suppliers can't make enough profit with those less-wealthy segments, unless brilliant technology and slick interactions make their process efficient and service valuable.
What seems to be happening is that fewer people are getting good financial advice. This is a societal risk. If people fail to get advice, too many will make mistakes with their investments and pensions. They may, for example, take additional risk to try and bolster their shrinking pension pot. Mistakes mean loss and potential hardship. If hardship means relying on others for financial support, that'll be a burden on all the central and local government services. So it's down to reputable firms to find a way to service these customers, and still make money, before this situation becomes societal. That will require systematic innovation.
Now I've focused on wealth management, where arguably the effect of segmentation is most dramatic. But the same principles apply elsewhere. When I worked in risk, I was involved in a huge change programme led by a "big-four" consultancy. On the face of it, we segmented our customers using buying characteristics. We actually used only their "book value" i.e. their spend with us. We moved the least-valuable customers to a new division, set-up to service these customers in a different way. And we lost all but two of those customers within twelve months. That's what happens when suppliers value their customers. Segmentation requires something more intuitive. Segmenting by value, characteristics and behaviours is a much more intelligent approach.

What is SIBO?
SIBO stands for Small Intestine Bacterial Overgrowth. Leaky Gut or SIBO is a chronic bacterial "overgrowth" or infection within the small intestine. The bacteria that normally live in the gastrointestinal tract have become abnormally overgrown in a location not meant for so many bacteria. The issue is in part the absolute number of bacteria but moreover the lack of diversity of the bacteria.
The Problem
- The bacteria interfere with our normal digestion and absorption of food. They can also be associated with damage to the lining or "membrane" of the small intestine resulting in "leaky gut"
- They consume some of our food, which over time leads to deficiencies in nutrients; e.g., iron and B12.
- After eating our food, they produce gas/expel flatus within our small intestine. The gas causes abdominal bloating, abdominal pain, constipation, diarrhea or both (the symptoms of IBS). Excess gas can also cause belching and flatulence.
- They decrease proper fat absorption by deconjugating bile, leading to deficiencies of vitamins A & D and fatty stools.
- Through the damaged lining, larger food particles not able to be fully digested enter into the body. The immune system reacts to this, causing food allergies/sensitivities.
- Bacteria themselves can also enter the body/bloodstream. Immune system reaction to bacteria and their cell walls (endotoxin) causes chronic fatigue and body pain and burdens the liver.
- Finally, the bacteria excrete acids which in high amounts can cause neurological and cognitive symptoms.
These issues can be both formatively diagnosed and effectively treated with a combination of lifestyle and medical therapies.

Unless you have been busy and had no time to watch the news on TV, you will have most likely heard about the competitive interest rates available in Western Australia.
The news is that interest rates are low and they are likely to fall even lower due to our uncertain economy. This competitiveness has led to easy finance being available.
There has never been a better time to organise car finance in Perth, and in certain cases, it is even possible to get a 1% car finance deal.
With the car loans market being so competitive, it might just be time to go shopping for a new vehicle. So, with this in mind, I will break down the various types of car financing available to help you decide which is best for you.
What are the various options for car finance in Perth?
There are many types of loans available, and a good car finance broker will be able to explain the details in depth. These are some of the better options:
Chattel Mortgage
This is similar to a house mortgage in that you only take full ownership of the vehicle once all payments have been completed.
The main difference compared with a regular secured loan which uses the vehicle as security, is that a chattel mortgage has significant tax benefits if the vehicle is mostly used for business reasons.
It is just like any loan, in that you agree a repayment period and monthly (or weekly) payments are due.
Secured Loan
This is the most common type of car loan that you will see. It basically means that the car itself will be acting as collateral.
It is similar to you loaning money from a bank to buy a home, in that, the bank will be confident they can sell your vehicle and recoup their money in the event that you fail to pay the loan in full. That is the "secured" part.
Secured loan rates are often lower than unsecured rates as the lender's risk is lower.
Novated Car Lease
This is a lease agreement which involves your employer. You will not own the car at the end, but you will have reasonable monthly payments, and it is a way for your employer to guarantee your lease and to pay for your car as a part of your salary package.
Once again there are tax advantages to both you and your employer if you choose this method of financing. There is also no need to pay GST, as you are not actually buying your car, which will save a further 10%.
Using a Broker
This is a practical option as many car wholesalers will have a broker on-site who will be able to advise you of the best deals available and how to organise your car financing quickly.
You simply answer questions about the loan requirement, if it is secured or unsecured, your personal circumstances with regard to income and outgoings, and then leave it up to them to compare the available car finance in Perth.
Essentially they make the process easy as they are aware of the ins and outs of loans and how to find a good deal for your particular situation.
You should familiarise yourself with the various options for easy finance when buying a car in Perth.
A car finance broker is a good option as they will simplify the process, and often get you a deal which will make a considerable saving over the period of your loan.

The Evangelical Chaplains Commission recommends the following resources for chaplains and candidates.
Religious Freedom for Soldiers & Military Chaplains
The NAE published this scholarly resource as an explanation of the freedoms and responsibilities enjoyed by chaplains and all service personnel. It is an incredible resource in understanding the complex ideas and issues for both military and civilian leaders and clergy.
Pastoral Letter on Marriage Relationships Ministry
Evangelical pastors, chaplains and churches face increased questions and pressures about ministry to couples in relationships that we do not consider biblical. The Pastoral Letter on Marriage Relationships Ministry is a brief epistle of pastoral advice for ministry practitioners. It is not a treatise on the theology of marriage or a critique of recent cultural practices but a common baseline for all evangelical clergy seeking compassionate but biblically faithful ministry to couples and individuals.
God Understands When You Feel…
The God Understands Series box set contains eight biblically based portions that address the PTSD spiritual injuries veterans deal with upon return from duty: guilt, anger, grief, meaning and purpose, despair and hopelessness, fairness, doubts and disbelief, and fear of death. This is an excellent resource that VA chaplains, pastors and family members can give veterans to enhance the treatment of these PTSD issues. These Scripture portions are written specifically for veterans with thoughts for reflection, calls to action and guided prayers.
Beyond the Yellow Ribbon
Beyond the Yellow Ribbon is a handbook for those who seek to effectively minister to returning combat veterans. This unique book will not only heighten awareness of issues related to these veterans and their families, but it will also give practical tools to help local churches and communities minister more effectively. Co-author David A. Thompson has experienced three deployments and understands the stresses and challenges that families and communities face. Darlene Wetterstrom is a licensed independent clinical social worker. This is a straightforward, challenging and practical help for returning soldiers and their families.
Daily Strength for the Battle
Chaplain (Colonel) Scott McChrystal draws on many years of military experience both as an Infantry officer in Vietnam and as a seasoned Army Chaplain, whose last assignment was senior Chaplain at The United States Military Academy at West Point. These 5 minute devotionals in God's word are insightful, bold, challenging and excellent for training in spiritual excellence for junior and senior leaders alike.
The Combat Trauma Healing Manual
The Military Ministry of Campus Crusade for Christ has been instrumental in developing this practical and faith-based approach to dealing with the stresses of combat. This is a decidedly Bible-based resource that offers spiritual solutions for struggles with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder by helping construct an environment that will give God optimal access to the wounded soul. Designed for individual or group study, it combines the latest insights of the medical and counseling communities with the timeless principles of God's Word.
Faith Deployed: Daily Encouragement for Military Wives
Jocelyn Green has been there as a military wife. Her husband, Rob, served in the Coast Guard, and she knows the difficulties of deployments and separations and the need for encouragment for those left behind. She knows the military culture and speaks to the challenges of being a military wife. Great to read and share with others. The author has created a website as a further resource for military wives.
Strong Bonds
A unit-based, chaplain-led Army program that helps soldiers and their families build strong relationships. The program's mission is to build soldier readiness by providing skills the single and married soldier can use to strengthen their marriages and other relationships.
Military BibleStick
The Military BibleStick produced by Faith Comes by Hearing is a digital audio player that is pre-loaded with a dramatized recording of the entire New Testament. About 3.5 inches long and less than an inch thick, these pocket-sized audio bibles are field-friendly with a low-key design, which reduces visibility for use in low-light situations.

THIS EVENT HAS BEEN POSTPONED. New date information will be posted when available.
The Dennis Kwok Jazz Orchestra celebrates the release of their debut album "Windward Bound", and presents the world premiere performance of a 5-movement suite for chamber orchestra and jazz rhythm section by Toronto-based composer and saxophonist Brenden Varty, as part of the TD Discovery Series Special Projects.
The Dennis Kwok Jazz Orchestra exclusively features artists under 35 years of age and blends elements from third stream jazz, modern jazz, contemporary classical and traditional big band. "Windward Bound" was composed as a 6-movement suite for the 18-piece jazz ensemble plus woodwind soloist (performing on 10 different instruments!).
The Dennis Kwok Jazz Orchestra (DKJO) is a Toronto-based contemporary big band committed to the creation, performance, and showcase of new works composed by the next generation of artists. The group is led by and comprises of 19 of the finest performers, composers and arrangers under 35 in Southern Ontario. Formed in early 2017, DKJO has since developed a repertoire of over 20 original works from within the band and has performed in many of Toronto's iconic venues including Lula Lounge, Gallery 345 and Burdock. They have also made appearances at the Toronto Undergraduate Jazz Festival as well as had collaborations with JUNO award winners, Allison Au, and Alex Dean.
Dennis Kwok is a multi-instrumentalist, bandleader, performer, and composer based in Toronto. Originally from Calgary, his interest in jazz and improvised music lead him to further studies at Humber College in Toronto where he completed his Bachelor of Music (Jazz Performance and Composition). As a saxophonist and woodwind doubler, he has studied under the likes of Pat Labarbera, Kirk MacDonald, Nina Martini-Dorey, Richard Thomson, Nadina Mackie Jackson and David Sussman among others. His versatility has led him to involvement in contrasting genres from the orchestra to the funk band including collaborations with JUNO award winners, Allison Au, Alex Dean and the Toronto Symphony Orchestra. Dennis is currently an active performer in the Greater Toronto Area as a freelancer, bandleader, and member of Mason Victoria's Sonuskapos Jazz Orchestra, and the Toronto Mendelssohn Choir. He is also sought-after as an arranger and composer for his experience writing for varying groups from folk-chamber ensemble to big band.
