The Daily Tribune – Marcos gets Erap, JPE backing on VP bid
Saying that he will lead a revolution of the heart, mind and deeds Sen. Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos formally declared his bid for the vice presidency in a speech at the Puerta Real Garden in Intramuros, Manila as he vowed never to allow the country to surrender its sovereignty apparently referring to the Bangsamoro Basic Law (BBL).
Marcos as chairman of the Senate committee on local government has revised the BBL to remove its clearly unconstitutional provisions leading to the creation of a substate.
"I will lead a campaign for us to achieve our aspirations in life. I will not allow the country to lose its territory. I will fight for the integrity of our nation," Marcos said.
He also assailed what has been known as the brand of selective justice under President Aquino.
"If you're an ally, you're protected; if you're an enemy, you're dead," Marcos said.
Marcos said the nation will not advance if this mindset is not changed."Our lives will improve only if we learn to be united as one nation," he added.
Marcos' mother, former first lady and Ilocos Norte Rep. Imelda Marcos, Sen. Juan Ponce Enrile and former President and Manila Mayor Joseph Estrada attended the event.
Estada endorsed Marcos citing his qualification as vice president with his extensive experience as a senator and former governor of Ilocos Norte.
Also in the affair were Ilocos Norte Gov. Imee Marcos, sister Irene Marcos-Araneta, Mandaluyong Mayor Ben Hur Abalos and some members of the House of Representatives and other local politicians.
It was attended by an estimated one thousand supporters coming from what is termed as the solid north provinces as well as the Visayan provinces primarily Leyte.
In his speech, Estrada had said that "Marcos now represents the breed of young statesman, who was destined to be among the leader of this country. He has proven his worth in more than two decades of public service."
"And today he must be given the opportunity to serve in the Executive branch for the whole nation, not just of his province and he will prove his worth as the next vice president of the republic" Estrada said.
Five serious contenders are now considered after the vice presidential post which are Senators Francis "Chiz" Escudero, Alan Peter Cayetano, Antonio Trillanes IV, and Camarines Sur Rep. Leni Robredo.
"In my 30 years of public service, I saw the ordeal of our poor countrymen, the heavy cross that they bear just to keep their family safe from the claws of poverty and hunger. Many have pawned everything they have just to send their children to school," he said.
Marcos added that corruption remains prevalent in the country including inside the government.
"In smuggling for instance, based on World bank statistics, P4 trillion have been lost in the past four years," he said.
"The government knows who are behind this but why is it hesitant to put therm behind bars. Why is the government closing its eyes in all of these?," Marcos added.
Comelec sets Sunday debates
The presidential and vice-presidential debates will be held on four Sundays in four areas in the country during the campaign period for the May 2016 national and local elections, the Commission on Elections (Comelec) said yesterday.
Comelec Chairman Juan Andres Bautista said the organizers, headed by the poll body, the Kapisanan ng mga Brodkaster ng Pilipinas (KBP), television, print and online media have decided to hold the debates on a Sunday from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m.
"We had a meeting with the KBP, our advisers and all the broadcast stations ABS-CBN, GMA7, TV5, CNN etc, and we have decided to hold the debates on a Sunday from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m.," he said.
Bautista noted that the first debate would be held on Feb. 21, 2016 in Mindanao to be followed by the debate in Visayas on March 20 and on April 24 in Luzon while the vice presidential debate would be held in Metro Manila.
Bautista said they were still looking at venues on where to hold the debates.
"They will draw lots on who will be the host of the three presidential debates. The VP debate will be hosted by CNN and Business Mirror. In the presidential debates, we have three partners, ABS-CBN and Manila Bulletin, GMA7 and Philippine Daily Inquirer and TV5, Philippine Star and Businessworld," he added.
Bautista explained that each event will have different formats. "There will be dual moderator format in Mindanao. Panel format in Visayas and in Luzon town hall format."
He added that the candidates would be given a chance to ask questions to their fellow aspirants.
"I think there should be a part wherein candidates will get to question one another," Bautista said.
The poll body chief noted that they have preliminary list of issues to be tackled during the debates but they also want to take up issues relevant to the region where the debate is being held.
"We also want the issues on that particularly region to be discussed during the debate. For example in Mindanao, the important issues there are agriculture, federalism. In the Visayas, the issue is disaster preparedness. In Luzon, traffic," he said.
Bautista added, "We also want to crowd source the questions. We want to know from the public on what they want to hear from the candidates themselves."
Asked if the Comelec will spend money in holding the debates. "No we will not spend anything in fact we will be able to generate funds because of the placement of commercials."
Bautista noted that they are looking to give the money that will be raised to the honoraria of the public school teachers, who will be serving in the forthcoming polls.

Case Study – Reali.com
Reali nurtures customer relationships with better email management
Reali is a real estate company that puts its customers first. They believe in building lasting relations with their customers. They strive to make homeownership experience enjoyable and stay involved with customers via support, analysis, and information related to their specific transaction.
Their processes are engineered around sharing information and prompt communication, and email is at the very core of them.
Reali uses Gmail for communication with agents, buyers, and sellers. Even internally, their transaction and project management teams rely heavily on email.
The team was using a few email aliases to communicate with customers and agents. It was important that every member of their team knew if someone has taken ownership of incoming emails. But that wasn't how things were.
Too many tools breed confusion
The problem was that their workflows spanned across tools and it was getting tricky to keep everyone on the same page.
One team used a mailing list, so all emails were forwarded to everyone. They had to coordinate with each other on who was responding to and owning what.
Another email alias went into their support ticketing system, so they had to remember to check that system and respond using that interface.
And then there was another team that shared login for a Gmail account, so there was no accountability nor security.
"Using different systems for different teams was hard for training and consistency. Particularly with the shared logins, when team membership changed, we continually had to update the passwords. Nothing was intuitive. Nothing was easy to remember," says Virginia Trowbridge, Pulse Manager at Reali
A lot of back and forth between Email and CRM
The team was sending out a lot of email replies and was using the email templates built into their CRM systems.
First problem: it was making people go outside Gmail a lot and their workflows were getting disrupted.
Second: because the back and forth between the inbox and the CRM was not pleasant, many stopped using the email templates. Typing in similar emails repeatedly had slowed them down.
"We're all about streamlining the real estate transaction and making it more efficient for everyone. That includes making the process more efficient for our agents. Going outside of our Gmail account to send a correspondence was completely disrupting the workflow," Virginia says.
This is when the team at Reali started looking for an email management solution to help them contain the disorder.
The team knew exactly what they wanted: something that was built on top of Gmail — which won't require the team to go through extensive training. And that is when they discovered Hiver.
"Hiver required minimal training or workflow changes, as it integrated nicely with Gmail. Other solutions we tried required yet another system to log into, plus a complete mind shift in the way the team approached and used email," says Virginia.
Onboarding the team was a breeze as well.
"It was super easy to get started. We were able to sign up and get going in no time," Virgina adds.
The workflows are simpler
The team stopped using the mailing lists and the support ticketing system. They've brought in all of their email communication into shared inboxes. Their team no longer logs into the same inbox all at the same time.
Because they manage the shared inboxes from Gmail itself, their workflows are much simpler. There's no juggling between tools.
The team is more accountable
Previously, all emails were forwarded to everyone and they had to coordinate with each other on who was responding to and owning what.
With Hiver, they assign emails to teammates without having to forward them. Every email gets a clear owner and a status (Open, Pending, or Closed). The team is always on the same page about who has to work on what.
When someone wants to know the status of emails, they can see that at a glance inside the shared inboxes — again, without having to ask around the team.
Managing emails demands less time
The team receives a lot of emails (from different sources) that do not require a response — but they still need to be filed under categories. Previously, they had to spend time sorting through such emails and labelling them.
Using Hiver, the team has set up Automations to "Tag" and "close" emails that don't require further responses. For example, if the sender email id contains "docusign," the email is Tagged with "Docusign" and marked as closed automatically.
Sending emails is easier, and faster
The team was previously using their CRM templates and found it difficult to stay on top of many different versions. To make things worse, there was a limit to the number of templates they could have in the system.
Hiver solves for the variations of templates floating around because everyone sees the most updated version. It also creates efficiency throughout the transaction and allows their team to move quickly.
"If we shave 5 minutes off of each transaction, we are saving hours and hours of time for our team each month," says Virginia.
Virginia's team is growing rapidly, and a lot of new hires are remote workers. Because Hiver works right on top of Gmail, onboarding new team members does not involve training efforts.
"All new hires are comfortable with Gmail and it's easy to onboard them. It takes just five minutes to show them what Hiver is and how we use it," Virginia says.

Uses of polyherbal formulations have played a major role in traditional medicine. The present study is focused on the formulations used in traditional Thai folkloric medicine as tonics or bracers. Twenty documented polyherbal mixtures, used as nourishing tonics by the folk healers in Phatthalung and Songkhla provinces in southern Thailand, are targeted. Despite traditional health claims, there is no scientific evidence to support the utilization of polyherbal formulations.
The phenolic and flavonoid contents of the polyherbal formulations and a series of antioxidant tests were applied to measure their capability as preventive or chain-breaking antioxidants. In addition, the cytotoxic activity of effective formulations was assayed in Vero cells.
Ninety-eight plant species belonging to 45 families were used to prepare the tested formulation. The preliminary results revealed that water extracts of THP-R016 and THP-R019 contain a high level of total phenolic and flavonoid contents and exhibit remarkable antioxidant activities, as tested by DPPH, ABTS, and FRAP assays. The extract of THP-R019 also showed the strongest metal chelating activities, whereas THP-R016 extract possessed notable superoxide anion and peroxyl radical scavenging abilities.
The data provide evidence that the water extracts of folkloric polyherbal formulations, particularly THP-R016, are a potential source of natural antioxidants, which will be valuable in the pharmaceutical and nutraceutical industries. The free radical scavenging of THP-R016 may be due to the contribution of phenolic and flavonoid contents. Useful characteristics for the consumer, such as the phytochemical profiles of active ingredients, cellular based antioxidant properties and beneficial effects in vivo, are under further investigation.
Traditional medicine, especially herbal therapies, has a crucial role in the health care system in both developing and industrialized countries. According to recent survey results, the percentage taking herbal supplements was almost 20% in Europe . In several countries, such as Nigeria , Turkey , Saudi Arabia , and Thailand , more than 40% of informants have used herbal medicine. It should be noted that 35% of respondents in the United States consumed herbal products as antioxidant supplements . Free radicals have emerged as an important cause of oxidative stress-related diseases, including cardiovascular diseases, cancer, neurodegenerative disorders, and ageing. Effective antioxidants can delay or inhibit the oxidation of biomolecules, especially the polyunsaturated fatty acids of cell membranes, or prevent oxidative DNA damage, which affected several pathological conditions, including mutagenesis and carcinogenesis . Therefore, herbal medicine may become a useful resource for new antioxidant compounds that can be used for the prevention and treatment of free radical-related diseases.
In recent years, several biological activities related to human health of traditional polyherbal formulations have been reported. The use of herbal-herbal combinations has been found in Ayurvedic , Chinese  as well as Thai traditional medicine practices . However, the scientific evidence for potential bioactive compounds, therapeutic benefits, and safety information are limited. Recent studies have emphasized the antioxidant properties of polyherbal remedies prescribed in traditional medicine, such as Sahatsatara (Thai traditional medicine) , Wuzi Yanzong (Chinese medicine) , and Charaka Samhita (Ayurvedic medicine) . Although several surveys on folk medicine in southern Thailand have previously been conducted [11–13], the evaluation of antioxidant activities of polyherbal formulation prescribed by folk healers has never been reported. Therefore, this study is focused on the assessment of antioxidant activities as well as total phenolic and flavonoid contents of 20 documented remedies that were selected based on their traditional uses as tonics or rejuvenators by folk healers in Phatthalung and Songkhla provinces [14, 15]. A series of antioxidant tests based on single electron transfer (SET) and hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) was used and the effective formulations were additionally tested for their toxicity effects against the Vero cell line.
Twenty polyherbal remedies with either rejuvenating affects or used as health-promoting tonics were selected from prior studies, as summarized in Table 1. Herbal ingredients of the remedies were locally purchased from a licensed traditional medical drug store, Triburi Orsot in Songkla, Thailand. The plant materials were identified by a botanist, Assistant Professor Dr. Katesarin Maneenoon against reference specimens of the materia medica at the Faculty of Traditional Thai Medicine, Prince of Songkla University, Thailand. The plant parts were washed with sterile distilled water, oven-dried at 60 °C for 72 h, and then pulverized. The powdered herb was passed through a 16-mesh sieve, weighed, and stored in vacuum-sealed bags at 4 °C until further use. The mixtures were formulated using different proportions of different types of plant parts, as described in Additional file 1: Table S1.
To prepare the extract, 100 g of powdered herbal mixture were boiled in 1000 mL of water at 96.3 ± 0.6 °C for 20 min. The resultant extracts were filtered through a Whatman No. 1 filter paper. The dried extracts were obtained using the freeze-drying process (freeze dryer) and their yields were calculated with respect to the starting materials (Table 3). Each extract was then dissolved in ethanol (25 mg/ml) for phytochemical and biological analyses. The entire study was performed using one batch of the crude extracts to manipulate batch-to-batch variation and maximize the consistency of the polyherbal extracts.
The TPC of each polyherbal extract was quantified based on the Folin-Ciocalteu method according to Abbasi et al.  with few modifications. Briefly, 120 μL of the extract (2.5 mg/mL) was mixed with 1 mL of 10-fold diluted Folin-Ciocalteu reagent for 5 min, which was followed by the addition of sodium carbonate solution (Ajax Finechem, New Zealand) (1 mL; 20%w/v). The mixture was then thoroughly mixed and kept in the dark at room temperature for 90 min before the absorbance was read at 725 nm (Sunrise™ Microplate reader, Tecan Group Ltd., Switzerland). The TPC was expressed as milligrams of gallic acid (Sigma-Aldrich Chemie, Germany) equivalent per gram of extract.
The TFC in the studied samples was estimated by the aluminium chloride colorimetric method as described by Abbasi et al. (2015) , with minor modifications. In brief, 50 μL of the extract (2.5 mg/mL) was mixed with 4 mL of distilled water, 300 μL of 5% (w/v) of sodium nitrite (Ajax Finechem, New Zealand), and 300 μL of 10% (w/v) aluminium trichloride (Ajax Finechem, New Zealand). The mixture could stand for 6 min at room temperature; then, 2 mL of sodium hydroxide (1 M) was added to stop the reaction. The final volume of the mixture was adjusted to 10 mL with sterile-distilled water and the absorbance was measured at 510 nm after 10 min against the reagent blank. The TFC was calculated from a calibration curve using catechin standard solution, and the result was mentioned as milligrams of catechin equivalent per gram of extract.
Three active herbal ingredients of an effective formula, THP-R016 including Alpinia galanga, Cyperus rotundus, and Piper retrofractum were submitted to hydrodistillation at 100 °C for 5 h, using a Clevenger-type apparatus. GC-MS analysis of the essential oils were done on a TRACE™ GC Ultra system (Thermo Scientific, Waltham, MA) that was attached to an ISQ™ Series spectrometer. The gas chromatograph was equipped with a TRACE™ TR-1MS fused-silica capillary column (30 m × 0.25 mm id, film thickness 0.25 μm; Thermo Scientific, San Jose, CA). The GC oven was held at 60 °C for 3 min then ramped to 300 °C at 5 °C/min; inlet temperature, 280 °C; carrier gas, 1.0 mL/min Helium; injection volume, 1 μL; split ratio, 10:1. The GC to MS transfer line was maintained at 300 °C and the mass spectrometer was carried out in electron ionisation mode with an ion source temperature of 250 °C; solvent delay, 3 min. All data were acquired by collecting the full-scan mass spectra within a scanned mass range of 10–400 amu.
The MCA values of the extracts and EDTA were expressed as the 50% inhibition concentration of the ferrous ion ferrozine complex (IC50; mg/mL).
The radical scavenging ability with DPPH radical was determined according to a previously published method . In brief, a volume of 20 μL of each sample at different concentrations (2-fold dilution; 2500–1.22 μg/mL) was mixed with 180 μL of 80 μM DPPH solution in ethanol in a 96-well plate. The plate was shaken and allowed to reach a steady state at room temperature in the dark for 30 min. DPPH bleaching was measured by monitoring the absorbance at 520 nm.
The scavenging activity of the extracts on ABTS radical cation (ABTS+) was based on the method by Wong et al.  with slight modification. Briefly, ABTS+ solution was prepared by adding 2 mM ABTS to 2.45 mM potassium persulfate in a volume ratio of 1:1. The mixture was incubated in the dark at room temperature for 16 h, and it was then diluted with ethanol to an absorbance of 0.70 ± 0.05 at 734 nm. After the addition of 10 μL of each extract at different concentrations (2-fold dilution; 2500–1.22 μg/mL) to 1 mL of the diluted ABTS+ solution, the absorbance at 734 nm was measured at six minutes after initial mixing.
The scavenging ability of the extracts and Trolox were expressed as inhibition concentration (IC50; mg/mL), causing 50% inhibition of DPPH/ABTS+ radicals.
The ferric ion reducing power of the extracts was performed according to the procedure described in the literature (Abbasi et al., 2015) , which was based on the reduction of ferric-tripyridyl triazine (TPTZ) complex to ferrous-TPTZ that was formed in the presence of electron donating antioxidants at low pH. The FRAP reagent was freshly prepared by mixing 10 mL of 300 mM acetate buffer, 1 mL of 10 mM TPTZ solution, and 10 mL of 20 mM ferric chloride. The tested extracts were diluted in ethanol at a concentration of 0.625 mg/mL. An aliquot of 150 μL of the extracts was mixed with 1.35 mL of the FRAP reagent and then placed at 37 °C for 30 min in the dark. The absorption of an intense blue colour complex of ferrous-TPTZ in the reaction mixture was monitored at 596 nm. The calibration curve was obtained by plotting the absorbance at 596 nm versus ethanol solutions of known ferrous concentrations. The reducing capacity of each extract was expressed as micromoles of ferrous per milligram of extract (μM Fe2SO4/mg extract).
The percentage inhibition of superoxide anion generation by eight effective formulations was based on the reduction of nitroblue tetrazolium (NBT). Superoxide radical is generated by the riboflavin/methionine/ illuminate system and assayed by the reduction of NBT to form a purple-coloured formazan (NBT2+) caused by the generated superoxide radicals. Briefly, 100 μL of NBT (400 μg/mL) was added to 0.4 mL of the reaction mixture containing riboflavin (30 μg/mL), methionine (30 μg/mL), EDTA (20 μg/mL), and extract (freshly prepared in 0.05 M phosphate buffer, pH 7.4) at various concentrations (2-fold dilution; 156.25–4.88 μg/mL). The photoinduced reactions were performed by illumination at 25 °C for 25 min using fluorescent lamps (20 W). The absorbance of formazan dye was measured at 560 nm against an appropriate blank solution. Catechin was used as a positive control. The capability to scavenge superoxide radical was calculated using the equation mentioned above and expressed as the inhibition concentration (IC50; mg/mL) causing 50% inhibition of superoxide anion radicals.
The assay was modified from the method described by Gillespie et al.  in black round bottom 96-well microplates using Trolox as a control standard. Different concentrations of the effective extracts and positive control (2-fold dilution; 100–0.2 μg/mL), fluorescein (0.4 nM), and 2,2′-Azobis(2-amidinopropane) dihydrochloride (AAPH) (153 mM) were prepared in 75 mM phosphate buffer (pH 7.4). Twenty-five μL of each tested solution was mixed with 150 μL of the fluorescein solution and incubated for 30 min at 37 °C. An aliquot of 25 μL of AAPH solution was added, and the decay of fluorescence at 528 nm was immediately monitored with excitation at 485 nm every 5 min for 90 min. The antioxidant capacities of the extracts were expressed as μM of Trolox equivalent per μg of the extract (μM of TE/μg of E).
The extracts of effective formulations were further tested for in vitro cytotoxicity on the Vero cell line by green fluorescent protein (GFP)-based assay, which was done by the National Center for Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology, National Science and Technology Development Agency, Pathumthani, Thailand (http://www.biotec.or.th/bioassay/). Ellipticine was used as a positive control.
Antioxidant activities were analysed in triplicate in at least three different experiments and their results were presented as the mean ± SD. Statistical analyses of the data were performed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences software (SPSS 17) for Windows. The correlation between parameters was performed by Pearson's correlation test and p values less than 0.05 were considered significant. The results were analysed by Student's t-test for comparison between two means. One-way ANOVA with Tukey's HSD as post hoc tests were used to assess differences in multiple samples. A difference was considered statistically significant for p values less than 0.05.
Selection of polyherbal formulas to evaluate the antioxidant properties and phenolic contents is based on their traditional use as tonics, rejuvenators, nourishments, or bracers. Thirteen formulas are prescribed by seven folk healers from Songkhla province, and seven formulas are used by four folk healers from Phatthalung province (Fig. 1). As shown in Table 1, decoction and paste were the major modes of preparation; therefore, the hot water extraction method was selected to mimic these traditional medicinal uses of the tested remedies. Extraction yields obtained for the formulation extracts ranged from 2.67–11.83%. The results of this experiment revealed that maximum levels of TPC were found in the water extract of THP-R016 (384.6 ± 3.1 mg GAE/g extract), which was followed by THP-R019 (347.4 ± 12.0 mg GAE/g extract), THP-R010 (269.8 ± 11.1 mg GAE/g extract), THP-R015 (211.0 ± 2.9 mg GAE/g extract), and THP-R014 (207.2 ± 8.2 mg GAE/g extract), while the minimum value was observed in THP-R001 (39.3 ± 5.3 mg GAE/g extract). The TFC of the studied samples are presented in Table 2, indicating that THP-R019 extract exhibits the highest value (225.3 ± 2.4 mg CAE/g extract), which was followed by THP-R017 (132.7 ± 1.5 mg CAE/g extract), THP-R010 (131.2 ± 1.5 mg CAE/g extract), and THP-R014 (103.0 ± 3.1 mg CAE/g extract), whereas minimum values were noted for THP-R020 (34.2 ± 1.5 mg CAE/g extract).
THP-R009 exhibited the highest MCA (IC50; 0.3 mg/mL) where THP-R011, THP-R013, THP-R014, THP-R017, and THP-R020 were also found to possess the chelating activities (IC50; 0.48–0.58 mg/mL), but these activities were lower than that of EDTA. In this study, a negative correlation between phytochemical contents (TPC and TFC) and ferrous ion chelating abilities were observed (Table 4). The antioxidant capacities of the herbal formula extracts was further measured by the reduction of exogenous free radicals using DPPH, ABTS, and FRAP methods. The results of ferric reducing capacities of the extracts are given in Table 3. Among all tested extracts, THP-R019 had the highest FRAP value (96.86 ± 1.63 μM Fe2SO4/mg extract), which was followed by THP-R016 (95.76 ± 2.35 μM Fe2SO4/mg extract), THP-R012 (87.12 ± 1.15 μM Fe2SO4/mg extract), and THP-R015 (84.22 ± 1.23 μM Fe2SO4/mg extract), respectively. The radical scavenging effects of the sample extracts were primarily assessed using the DPPH and ABTS assays. The trend for these radical scavenging activities of the 20 tested extracts did not vary markedly from their ferric reducing capacities. Similar to the results obtained from FRAP assays, THP-R016 and THP-R019 extracts showed very strong scavenging activities against both DPPH and ABTS radicals. The IC50 value of THP-R016 extract in the ABTS assay was 0.34 mg/mL, which was comparable to the value of Trolox. The IC50 value of this extract on DPPH radicals was 2 times more than that of the standard.
The Pearson's correlation coefficients were evaluated to describe the inter-relationships of the results obtained with the different methods in the polyherbal formulation extracts (Table 4). There were significantly high positive correlations between antioxidant properties and TPC. In addition, the results revealed that there were moderate positive correlations between TFC and the antioxidant properties.
As presented in Fig. 2a, the tested extracts scavenged superoxide anion in the riboflavin/methionine/illuminate system in a concentration-dependent manner. The IC50 values of THP-R004, THP-R009, THP-R010, THP-R012, THP-R014, THP-R015, THP-R016, and THP-R019 for scavenging the free radicals were found to be 184.7 ± 10.4, 486.6 ± 18.9, 73.6 ± 1.0, 215.3 ± 5.6, 189.0 ± 4.9, 133.8 ± 2.7, 70.0 ± 1.2, and 107.7 ± 1.0 μg /mL, respectively. The IC50 values of THP-R010 and THP-R016 were significantly less than that of the other extracts, which clearly indicated their greater efficiency as superoxide anion scavengers (Fig. 2b). Moreover, the non-cytotoxic effect was observed in normal cell lines when the cells were incubated for 24 h with THP-R004, THP-R015, and THP-R016. These effective formulas have an IC50 greater than 50 μg/mL against Vero cells, these values were found to be higher than a positive control, ellipticine (IC50 value of 0.68 μg/mL).
The present study shows that the fluorescence signal of fluorescein in the assay solutions of THP-R016 at concentration ranging from 3.1 to 100.0 μg/mL and trolox at 100 μM was stable for 90 min (Fig. 3). In this study, THP-R016 exhibits peroxyl radical scavenging properties with an ORAC value of 705.48 ± 33.44 μM Trolox/μg of extract. The GC-MS analysis (Table 5) revealed the major constituents as caryophyllen, pentadecane, 1,4,7,-cycloundecatriene, 1,5,9,9-tetramethyl-, Z,Z,Z-, 8-heptadecene, and heptadecane for the essential oil extracted from Piper retrofractum; 4-isopropyl-1-methoxy-1,6-dimethyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalene, copaene, α-cubebene, β-calacorene, and 11-hydroxy-2,3,4,11-tetrahydro-6H-pyrimido[2,1-b]quinazolin-6-one for Cyperus rotundus; and β-bisabolene, cis-α-bergamotene, β-sesquiphellandrene, 1,8-cineole, and chavicol, acetate for Alpinia galangal.
Secondary metabolites of plants in particular phenolics and flavonoids are generally involved in defence against oxidative stress-related degenerative disorders. In addition, several reports have shown a correlation between the consumption of plant-derived antioxidants and numerous health benefits in humans [19, 20]. Polyphenolic compounds are the most abundant groups of plant metabolites that structurally possess an aromatic benzene ring with one or more hydroxyl constituents. The antioxidant activity of phenolic compounds is mainly due to their ability to act as reducing agents, hydrogen donors, singlet and triplet oxygen quenchers, and metal chelators [16, 20]. Flavonoids, the major class of polyphenolic compounds, have a common basic structure that consists of two aromatic rings linked with a heterocyclic pyrane ring. The compounds are known to have antioxidant activity by acting as effective scavengers of various free radicals as well as singlet oxygen . The high phenolic and flavonoid contents found in some remedies, such as THP-R010, THP-R014, THP-R015, THP-R016, THP-R017, and THP-R019, may indicate their antioxidant activities and support their acclaim as bracers.
To confirm the beneficial effects on antioxidant abilities, the water extracts of the traditional remedies were primarily assessed for their ability to be either preventive antioxidants, demonstrated by MCA or chain-breaking antioxidants, which were tested using both the single electron transfer mechanism (SET)-based assay (FRAP) and mixed-mode-based assays (DPPH and ABTS scavenging activities) [21, 22]. Metal-mediated formation of hydroxyl radical by the well-known redox cycling process, Fenton reaction, may lead to protein oxidation, DNA damage, and lipid peroxidation . Among the transition metals, ferrous ion is well-recognized as a potential catalysing agent. Hence, ferrous ion chelators may offer protective effects for oxidative damage. This result suggested that the chelating properties of the extracts could be due to the presence of compounds other than phenolics and flavonoids. Previous studies showed that polysaccharides from some medicinal plants  possess their abilities to chelate metal ion. It must be noted that the water extract prepared from THP-R014 with relatively high phenolic and flavonoid contents also showed good chelation of ferrous ion. It has been reported that plant-derived compounds, including phenolic acids, flavonoid quercetin, and phenolic glycosides with functional groups of hydroxyl, sulfhydryl, carbonyl, and phosphate, show chelating activity on transition metal ions, including ferrous ion .
According to these findings, it should also be noted that phenolic compounds in the herbal remedies are the major contributor to antioxidant capacities. However, this is apparently because of both flavonoid and non-flavonoid phenolics. This result is also similar to the previous studies that found a stronger correlation between the total phenolic content and ABTS assay than the DPPH assay [26, 27]. Both ABTS and DPPH assays were considered mixed-mode methods, and their radicals can be neutralized by SET and HAT mechanisms . ABTS radical cation is applicable to both hydrophilic and lipophilic systems , while the radical produced in the DPPH assay is appropriate for hydrophobic systems . Moreover, it has been reported that the difference between antioxidant capacities evaluated by the two methods may be affected by the pigment in the tested extracts . There was a strong association between the antioxidant capacities measured by the ABTS/DPPH assays and FRAP method, which is based on the SET mechanism. This may be explained by the observation that a redox potential of the ferrous/ferric couple is comparable to that of ABTS/ABTS+• redox coupling with values approximately quoted as approximately 0.77 V and 0.68 V, respectively . Therefore, as expected, extracts obtained from polyherbal remedies had similar antioxidant capacities detected by ABTS/DPPH and FRAP assays, which should lead to a significant correlation between the results.
Based on the initial screening, eight effective formulation extracts were selected and tested for their superoxide scavenging activities. Superoxide anion radicals (O2•-) are mainly generated by activated phagocytes and the mitochondrial electron-transport chain of aerobic respiration, although O2•- is not very reactive damaging agents for DNA and polyunsaturated fatty acids in lipids. The physiological radicals play an important role as a precursor of more reactive species, especially hydroxyl radicals that initiate lipid peroxidation and induce several pathophysiological processes . The measurement of the antioxidant capacity of the effective remedy, THP-R016, was further confirmed using the HAT-based assay. The ability of THP-R016 water extract to capture endogenous radicals, such as peroxyl radicals that mediated the oxidation of biological targets, was tested using the ORAC assay. Although, the reaction mechanism of the test is more complex than that of the mixed-mode- and SET-based methods, it has the advantage of acting on physiological radicals .
According to the literature, this Thai traditional rejuvenating formulation, THP-R016, is a preparation consisting of 11 medicinal plants, which are Allium sativum, Alpinia galanga, Cyperus rotundus, Maerua siamensis, Piper retrofractum, Phyllanthus emblica, Terminalia arjuna, Terminalia bellirica, Terminalia citrina, Tinospora crispa, and Zingiber officinale. Except for M. siamensis, all medicinal plants have been recorded to possess notable antioxidant capacity. Previous studies demonstrated that piperoside isolated from P. retrofractum exhibited moderate peroxyl radical scavenging and reducing potential activity , while Terminalia citrina was found to display protective effects against oxidant-induced Heinz body formation , which contributes to anaemia. Reported active constituents, including total oligomeric flavonoid fractions, nootkatone, aristolone, solavetivone, and orientin obtained from Cyperus rotundus, have protective effects against lipid peroxidation, DNA damage, antihemolytic activity, and anticancer treatment for erythroleukaemia cells, which might be correlated with their high antioxidant activities . Earlier experiments have also demonstrated that Alpinia galangal exerts in vitro antimelanogenesis activity  and in vivo antiamnesiac activity through its antioxidant properties . In addition to their well-described in vitro antioxidant activities, several in vivo studies demonstrated that consumption of Allium sativum , Zingiber officinale , Terminalia arjuna , and Tinospora crispa  extracts led to significant increases in antioxidant enzymes, such as superoxide dismutase, glutathione peroxidase, and catalase, and suppressed glutathione depletion and lipid peroxidation. It should be noted that the herbal components of THP-R016, Terminalia bellirica and Phyllanthus emblica, are components of Ayurvedic polyherbal formulas Charaka Samhita  and Triphala , which were used as anti-hyperglycemic and rejuvenation agents, respectively.
From the present study, our findings provide evidence that the water extracts of folkloric polyherbal formulations, especially THP-R016, are a potential source of natural antioxidants, justifying their uses as a health tonic in folk medicines. The extracts exhibited notable free radical scavenging that may be due to the contribution of phenolic and flavonoid contents. However, further investigations need to be performed to measure the antioxidant compounds or determine the in vivo biological activities of these extracts, which are being investigated by our group. This information would be helpful for applying THP-R016 as a traditional-based antioxidant in therapeutic drugs for the implications of human health.

Earlier this year my LYS launched a sock pattern for a pair of stripey socks. It was a particularly nice sock pattern, clever but not too difficult. Me and a lot of other knitters got obsessed with it. It required two different yarns and there were infinite possibilities of different color combinations. Since I spend a lot of time in my LYS I found more and more combinations that I wanted to try.
First there were purple socks for me. I knit, it went fast like the wind and I finished. The only problem with this pattern is that it's about a million ends to weave in. A total of 28 to be exact. That's about 24 too many for a pair of socks. They might be worth it though.
After they were finished I had a lot of leftovers. The yarn is kind of expensive so I'm glad I got leftovers but I wasn't sure how much I had and what I could make. Then someone I know lost someone they held dear and it was clear I needed to make socks. This someone happens to love purple and here I was with a lot of leftover sock yarn in purple. The answer was obvious.
This someone has feet that are a lot smaller than mine so I took a chance and it worked out, I had enough yarn. I finished the socks and delivered them, a little late I admit, to the receiver.
If that wasn't enough, I still had leftover yarn. And another someone was waiting for a little Me Made of her own. So I made another pair of socks, mini socks. The yarn just kept on giving.
Pattern: Zebrasockor by Hanna for Yllotyll Design (adult socks) and Babysockor med. stretch from Järbo (baby socks). Yarn: Crazy Zauberball from Shoppel Wolle (all three pairs), color 1699 Fliederduft, and Sisu fom Sandnes Garn, color 5224 (adult socks). No mods.


SAINT PETER, Minn. – The Gustavus football team is set to host No. 7 St. Thomas at 1:10 p.m. Saturday for its Senior Day. The Gusties enter the contest on a four-game winning streak at 5-3 overall and 4-2 in the MIAC, while the Tommies are 7-1 overall and 5-1 in the league.
As is tradition as Gustavus, 14 seniors will be honored as part of Senior Day at Hollingsworth Field this afternoon. The Gustavus Adolphus College Department of Athletics would like to send a sincere thank you to this group of young men for their leadership both on and off the field the past four years. The seniors honored prior to kickoff include Matt Berkner (Sleepy Eye, Minn.), Jamison Beulke (Montgomery, Minn.), Dutch Claybaugh (Kaneohe, Hawaii), Michael Hensch (North Branch, Minn.), Ellis Hirman (Zumbrota, Minn.), Tommy Jech (Chatfield, Minn.), Jordan Kahlow (Le Sueur, Minn.), Sean Kelly (Shorewood, Minn.), John Krohn (Richfield, Minn.), Brady Miller (Delano, Minn.), Ben Rengel (Sartell, Minn.), Jack Sorenson (West St. Paul, Minn.), Tanner Sparrow (Edina, Minn.), and Michael Veldman (Becker, Minn.), along with student coaches Evan Jakes and Luke Schavey.
Saturday's game marks the 88th all-time meeting between the Gustavus and St. Thomas football programs. The Tommies lead the series 49-36-2 and have won the past 10 meetings. Last season in Saint Paul, the Tommies jumped out to a 34-7 lead in the first half and never looked back. St. Thomas outgained Gustavus 550-1 in total yards of offense. The last Gustie victory over the Tommies was a 30-14 decision in 2007 in Saint Paul. The last Gustie win at Hollingsworth Field was in 2003.
After an undefeated month of October, Gustavus is seeking five straight wins today for the first time since the 2015 season. Last week the Gusties scored early and often, cruising to a 62-28 victory over Carleton. During the previous three games, Gustavus averaged 30 points in the first half and that trend continued with 34 first half points at Carleton. The Gusties also entered the matchup without any points in the fourth quarter and were able to end that slump against the Knights with 21 points in the final frame.
Gustavus outgained Carleton 581-348 with 443 yards of passing and 138 on the ground. Both the total offensive yards and passing yards marked season highs for the Gusties.
Through eight games this season, the Gusties average 30.1 points and 347.2 yards of total offense per game – both fourth best in the MIAC. They've moved the chains on 51-of-108 third down attempts, leading the MIAC with a 47 percent third down conversion rate. On the defensive side of the ball, Gustavus has caused 17 fumbles and totaled 650 tackles – second most in the MIAC.
The return game continues to be a strength with the Black and Gold averaging 13.3 yards per punt return and 20.6 yards per kick return – both second in the league. Gustavus has proven itself to be disciplined as the least penalized team in the MIAC with an average of just 4.6 penalties per game.
First-year David Peal (Worcester, Mass.) leads the rushing attack with 83 carries for 369 yards and eight touchdowns (3rd/MIAC). Michael Veldman (Sr., Becker, Minn.) has completed 58.9 percent of his passes for 1866 yards (3rd/MIAC), 14 touchdowns, and six interceptions. Brice Panning (Jr., Hamburg, Minn.) continues to be the top target, averaging 84 receiving yards per game (3rd/MIAC) and 18.7 yards per catch (2nd/MIAC). Inside linebackers Matt Berkner (Sr., Sleepy Eye, Minn.) and Jake Boykin (Jr., Las Cruces, N.M.) lead the defense with 65 and 43 tackles, respectively. Berkner's 8.1 tackles per game rank fifth in the MIAC.
No. 7-ranked St. Thomas presents a tough challenge, having won 32 of its last 33 conference games. The Tommies most recently shut out St. Olaf 60-0 last Saturday in Saint Paul. UST outgained the Oles 485-55 in total offensive yards, while the defense didn't allow a single third down conversion.
After eight games this season, St. Thomas leads the MIAC in a number of statistical categories, highlighted by points per game (56.8 – 2nd/NCAA), yards per game (509 – 9th/NCAA), rushing yards per game (306.4 – 4th/NCAA), kick return average (23.5), punt return average (18.3 – 9th/NCAA), red zone touchdowns (39), interceptions (18), and sacks (32). The Tommie defense is among the best in Division III, ranking second in rushing yards allowed per game (16.0) and third in total yards allowed per game (166).
Josh Parks leads an exceptional ground game with 109 carries for 1119 yards and 17 touchdowns. He averages 139.9 yards per game and 10.3 yard per carry. As a team, the Tommies have accounted for 43 rushing touchdowns this season – 17 more than the next team in the MIAC.
Jacques Perra boasts a 140.0 quarterback efficiency, completing 63.2 percent of his passes for an average of 169.2 yards per game and nine total touchdowns. Gabe Green is the leading receiver with 27 catches for 321 yards and a touchdown. Nine different Tommies have caught a touchdown pass this year.
Adam Brant leads the defense with 41 tackles, 2.5 sacks, and a 40-yard fumble recovery returned for a touchdown. Matt Mitchell is next with 31 tackles, two sacks, and a forced fumble.

This was our first cruise and we were very overwhelmed by the large number of children under the age of 15 accompanied by seemingly drunken bogan parents. Accordingly it is highly unlikely that we will ever take another cruise - the risks are not worth it. Our experience with the booking agents was excellent. It's a pity the cruise itself hadn't met their standards!"

Stäubli Robotics to Exhibit Stringent Solutions for Packaging at PACK EXPO
September 12, 2019 By Rick LeBlanc
Completely redesigned four-axis machines present new capabilities for sensitive environments
Duncan, SC – (Stäubli will highlight a variety of industry-leading packaging and processing solutions at PACK EXPO in Las Vegas, Sept. 23-25. From sensitive environment robots to high-speed packing robots, Stäubli (booth #LS5956) will address challenges for the food, medical, health care and electronics sectors, applying innovative technology that achieves cost-saving efficiencies and boosts output.
Superior design and performance
Automated solutions for the food industry can present difficult conditions for robotics. Stringent hygiene standards require frequent wash downs to ensure compliance, and many automated solutions are unable to withstand the rigorous requirements of food production. For several decades, Stäubli has invested in the research and development of solutions specific to the food industry, which has resulted in a wide range of robots capable of working in direct contact with fresh food and in a strict hygienic environment.
"Now, all Stäubli four- and six-axis robots are available in both standard and food-grade, humid environment versions, which ensures complete coverage for every aspect of food production, from primary processing to secondary packaging and palletization," said Sebastien Schmitt, Robotics Division Manager, Stäubli North America.
At PACK EXPO, Stäubli will showcase solutions for case packing with its FAST Picker TP80 and its TS2 SCARA four-axis robot. The completely redesigned four-axis machines feature hollow shaft technology, which allows all the cables to be routed internally to create a revolutionary hygienic design for use in sensitive environments.
"This new series of SCARA robots has been reimagined, incorporating our JCS drive technology that has greatly improved the performance and versatility of our six-axis machines," said Schmitt. "This allows for ultra-short cycle times and enormous performance gains for the new four-axis TS2."
The new line consists of four models: the TS2-40, TS2-60, TS2-80 and TS2-100 to provide a solution for a wide range of manufacturing scenarios. With the four-axis TS2-100, Stäubli has extended the working radius of the TS series (400 to 800 millimeters) up to 1,000 millimeters.
Compared to the previous TS models, the new TS2s also feature a more compact design, and each four-axis machine can be ordered with an optional integrated tool change system. This allows the SCARA's grippers and tools to automatically replace themselves, significantly increasing the uptime in certain applications. Tools or grippers also can be changed manually within seconds by means of a bayonet locking mechanism.
"All media and signal connections are automatic," said Schmitt. "There is no external bundling of cables and no irregular contours, and the new TS2s feature a completely sealed housing. The quill can be optionally protected with a cover and affixed with special screws and concealed connections can be housed under the robot pedestal. The TS2 offers the latest and greatest in hygienic design."
The company will showcase an innovative application for primary food processing, featuring a TX2 HE six-axis robot that will demonstrate ultrasonic cutting, cake decorating and bread scoring.
Stäubli also will illustrate the assembly and packaging of medical devices with the TX2 Stericlean, which is the first choice for cleanroom or aseptic processes and applications. Highly stressed parts on the Stericlean series are made of stainless steel and, before the robots receive their topcoat of paint, the surfaces are subjected to a special treatment, which increases corrosion resistance and ensures reliable operation in VHP environments. All Stericlean six-axis robots comply with the strict Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) Class A guidelines, and their ultra-compact design makes them ideal to take on filling processes in isolators and glove boxes.
Integration ease with Stäubli robots
Stäubli Robotics Suite offers a comprehensive set of powerful yet user-friendly software solutions perfectly adapted for all including end-users, integrators, and OEM's/machine builders.
"Easy programming and integration into packaging lines is at least as important as the performance of the robotic system itself," said Schmitt. "Stäubli Robotics has addressed these challenges by developing a unique solution called uniVAL plc, the benefit being one master controller and one language for the machine builder."
The uniVAL plc is a ready-to-plug solution to drive Stäubli robots with generic industrial multi-axes controllers. The solution operates Stäubli robots with industrial PLCs, connected to the robot controller via a standard fieldbus, meaning there is no need to interface with the Stäubli controller as all programming is completed through the PLC. Motion control is still managed by Stäubli kinematics. A collection of AOIs for multiple PLC manufacturers are available, and Stäubli supports most communication protocols.
In addition, Stäubli Robotics Suite offers all the necessary tools to perform realistic simulations including the offline programming of robotic cells.

Q: Get access permissions for a file for a current windows-user How can I get access permissions for a file for the current user (user that runs the application) ?
public static DirectoryInfo di = new DirectoryInfo(rootPath);
var dirSecurity = di.GetAccessControl();
var accRules = dirSecurity.GetAccessRules(true, true, typeof(System.Security.Principal.NTAccount));

accRules contains array of FileSystemAccessRule. I guess these are the permissions for different roles.
How can I know which of them applies for the user that currently runs the application ?

Acquiring A Home In Foreclosure Its likewise crucial to figure out the bid quantity also in states where you don't need to bring the sum total to the public auction. By establishing a strong ceiling for your proposal, youll prevent obtaining caught up in the spirituous public auction ambience as well as overbidding, which can result in little or no deal for you. Likewise, if youre not able to pay the rest of the quote within the time structure specified by state legislation, the deposit you paid at the auction is commonly nonrefundable.
10 unforgivable sins of selling a house without an agent Clarkston.
Buy A Foreclosed Home Without Loan Down An Overview Of Home loan Resources in Georgia: This website, by the Georgia Division of Consumer Affairs, supplies information on buying and also having a residence, in addition to how to seek aid with a present home mortgage.
U.S. Department of Agriculture loans are another 0%-down financing alternative, available to low- to middle-income buyers in areas that are defined by the USDA as "rural." There practically isn't really any home loan insurance coverage needed with a USDA loan; nonetheless, you will certainly have to pay an in advance and also persisting "assurance fee." Inspect the USDA's web site for specifics and to identify whether a particular home would certainly certify.
Upon signing up to bid, you will certainly be called for to provide down payment or a down payment. This shows that you are serious regarding participating and also have the cash essential to close the deal. Earnest money cost could range from a pair hundred dollars to $5,000 or more, based upon the location where you are bidding and also the value of the residential property.
Adam R. Cohn, branch supervisor of Criterion Home loan GA. of Clarkston, likewise clarified that this program is useful most specifically for reduced income making applicants. "The appeal of the program is that property buyers can make use of that revenue to qualify for a finance, that helps customers get approved for a higher home mortgage," Cohn added.
Its a safer method of making your deal stand apart by allowing the vendor recognize you are willing to pay even more for the house, without the risk of offering more than exactly what is had to obtain a contract. If the rise clause is caused, the sellers generally are called for to show the various other deals to the customer, Sullivan states.
Discover out whatever you could concerning the participating board as well as have a great understanding of exactly what future adjustments can be made to the structure if youre buying a co-op. Understanding whether the co-op guidelines might change to no longer enable pet dogs or if there are plans to entirely redesign the lobby (requiring you to pay a big regular monthly evaluation) could persuade your wish to stay in the building.
Required Help Obtaining A Home Mortgage With Bad Debt? The equity of your residence is established by its current market value and the complete debts on the home. As an example, if you get a home for the marketplace worth of $100,000 as well as pay $5,000 as a deposit, you have a home loan financial debt of $95,000 as well as the equity of your house is $5,000. Your equity enhances to $30,000 if the market value of your residence boosts to $125,000 simply after your purchase it.
I understand I have to price my house realistically to get an offer. So I invest a lot of time reviewing comparable sales in the location. I take a look at the residences that are similar to mine, and then I factor in the unique attributes my residence has. For instance, I are just one of the only homes in the neighborhood with a personalized pool in the yard. I price my home based on current sales data with a reasonable markup for the special functions of my home. Based on all of the homework I have actually done, I really feel that I have a fairly practical asking rate. I have actually even erred on the traditional side, since I want to sell the house rapidly. That wishes to remain on the marketplace for six months? Not me. My residence is priced at $260,000.
"A lot of times, first-time buyers at public auction have no concept exactly what they're obtaining themselves into," states Svenja Gudell, supervisor of economic study at Zillow. "It can be an impolite awakening if you obtain a large amount on a residence and after that owe $20,000 in back real estate tax on it."

Does Your Product Help Your Customers Get Promoted?
In this post, I'll explain how customer advocacy is a powerful undercurrent that helps products spread.
In a breakout session, Addy Clark, Director of Customer Marketing at FinancialForce, shared how an advocacy software advanced her career. She used it to direct customer advocates to engage prospects on social media and as the number of referrals and pipeline attribution skyrocketed, so did her title, from customer service manager to a global director. Clark humbly credited the software with a big part of that success. Kelsie Swensen, a marketing manager at Egencia, attested to how one particular software made her look like a rock star internally. It put her in more direct communication with her customers and the human-centered insights helped her and her team beat their goals and flourish. Amy Rosenberg, a marketing manager at the HR software Namely, recounted how a software system boosted her visibility within her organization. She had so much control over customer marketing that she gave her boss 20 named references as a tongue-in-cheek holiday present.
All of these individuals carved time out of their busy days to speak. Speaking on stage can be flattering, no doubt, yet each was insistent that they were there to give back. They wanted to demonstrate their appreciation to the teams behind the software, but more often than not, their gratitude settled on the object that had a very real, very human impact upon their careers: the software itself. If feeling indebted to a bundle of code seems strange, it shouldn't. By a strange quirk of human psychology, we develop all kinds of relationships to things, and this plays a large part in marketing.
When software plays a pivotal role in helping someone get recognition at work, feel effective, get complimented, and get promoted, it accumulates some of the gratitude typically bestowed upon teammates. Combine this effect with the fact that the brand is a proxy for all the positive interactions those users have with the people who make up the company and you have a very real connection between people and software. A software company's mere logo can come to hold the weight of an old keepsake. When users' gratitude bubbles over, they do what happy people do: They tell everyone.
Word-of-mouth is a powerful, largely unacknowledged force in most marketers' success. It rarely fits neatly into spreadsheets, it generally defies quantification, it isn't easily tied back to top-line metrics, and thus isn't talked about enough in B2B. Most marketers only embrace it as a happy coincidence, and sometimes work their handful of references into the ground before seeking new ones.
And the kicker? 85-90% of word of mouth is communicated offline. Meaning, nine out of ten product mentions—even in B2B—occur during everyday conversations between friends, family, colleagues, and acquaintances, at cookouts, dinner parties, soccer games, airports, and more.
Social currency—Does talking about your product make people look intelligent, clever, or funny?
Triggers—Are there everyday events that can trigger a conversation about it?
Emotion—Does it make people feel something?
Public—Can it be shared publicly?
Practical value—Is there an obvious way to take action?
Stories—Can it be told as a story?
An example of a fully word-of-mouth optimized story comes from a speakeasy bar in New York City called Please Don't Tell or PDT. The bar is hidden behind a telephone booth in a taco joint. When someone stumbles across it, they cannot help but tell their exciting story of discovery to everyone they know. Sharing makes them look cool, is triggered anytime they have cocktails, and is infused with emotion.
In the B2B world, few stories check all these boxes better than someone telling a story about how they were suddenly propelled forward in their career. A personal success story has social currency—everyone wants to share tips and tricks. It has a trigger because talking about an accomplishment is relevant to almost any conversation. It's steeped in emotion, it's public information, it has practical value, it's told in a narrative, and your software hitches a ride because it serves as the punchline.
Happy advocates operate like homing missiles. They seek out people for whom the story is most relevant—like colleagues in similar roles who happen to be ideal buyers.
Do you have a product or company you evangelize? Have you ever turned a customer into a brand advocate? I'd love to hear about your experiences in the comments.


I recently failed to stop my Ativ Tab upgrading to Windows 8.1 (presumably the rt version). I now find that, although the sound works (e.g. I can listen to the radio on it) I cannot get any sound on Youtube, though I can see the video. I've ensured the latest Windows updates are installed. Yes, the sound is turned up!
Is there a way to manually backup my Navigon Destinations file from my WP?

Q: How to connect two devices through bluetooth without knowing each other I'm writing a python script that is running on a raspberry pi. An android app needs to be able to connect to the raspberry pi through bluetooth and send it some data.
I am not sure how to connect them because the server (pi) will not know the name of the android, and client (application) won't know the address and port of the raspberry pi. Is there a clean solution to the bluetooth connection?
Here is the current server code. The current solution is have the server run on a specific port, but this doesn't seem very clean as the mac address/port may be different each time.
import bluetooth

    hostMACAdress = '' # need to fill this in
    port = 3
    backlog = 1
    size = 1024
    socket = bluetooth.BluetoothSocket(bluetooth.RFCOMM)
    socket.bind((hostMACAdress, port))
        socket.listen(backlog)

try:
    client, clientInfo = socket.accept()
    while True:
        data = client.recv(size)
        if data:
            print(data)
            client.send(data) # Echo

A: The host MAC address in your script on the RPi will be the address of the RPi. You will have to declare a port, but many Android apps e.g. Serial Bluetooth Terminal  will search for the port.
You will need to pair the RPi and the Android phone first. There is a good procedure at: https://bluedot.readthedocs.io/en/latest/pairpiandroid.html
There is an issue on recent versions of the RPi OS where PulseAudio can be using the RFCOMM Serial Port Profile (SPP) so you may have to stop PulseAudio if it is complaining about rfcomm already in use.
Finally, you don't need to use the bluetooth dependency. It can be done using the standard Python socket library. More details at: https://blog.kevindoran.co/bluetooth-programming-with-python-3/

Under The Dome: Representative Terri Cortvriend
by Frank Prosnitz January 12, 2020 January 12, 2020
Representative Cortvriend
With the start of the legislative session, I reached out to the area's legislative delegation to survey what legislation is important to each of them, the challenges ahead, and their perspective on the upcoming legislative session.
Initially, I expected to wrap the answers into a single story. But the responses were so extensive and informative that I decided it would be more beneficial running these separately. This is the second segment. Our first was Rep. Lauren Carson. Over the next several days to few weeks, these will appear as a feature: "Under the Dome."
Rep. Terri-Denise Cortvriend, Dist. 72 (Portsmouth, Middletown)
terricortvriend@gmail.com
What legislation do you hope to introduce in the 2020 legislative session? Please give a brief description, and why it's one of your priorities.
I will be submitting a bill protecting shoreline access to Rhode Islanders.
I will be co-sponsoring a bill directing DOH (Department of Health) to set up standards for PFAS (Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances) in drinking and surface water. (editor's note: full discussion of PFAS can be found on the Rhode Island Department of Health and Environmental Protection Agency websites).
I will also be sponsoring a bill banning the use of PFAS chemicals in food packaging.
What legislation did you introduce in the last legislative session and what was the outcome?
At the request of the Portsmouth Town Council I submitted legislation to authorize the tax assessor to use the last revaluation as the assessed valuation. It did not pass and I plan to re-introduce the bill.
Preservation of Families with a Disabled parent – this would prevent the disability of a parent from serving as the sole basis for denial or restriction in that parents' right to parent. I plan to re-introduce this bill.
Climate Literacy Resolution – this resolution requested that RIDE (Rhode Island Department of Education) develop a set of key environmental and climate principles and concepts to be infused across K-12 curriculum. I plan to re-introduce this bill.
Suicide Prevention: Working with the students with the "Be Great for Nate" group I introduced the Jason Flatt Act in memory of Nathan Bruno that would require all student involved school personnel and volunteers to receive two hours of suicide prevention training annually. I plan to re-introduce a version of this bill.
What did you feel were the legislature's greatest accomplishments in 2019?
Codifying Roe v Wade, which protects a woman's right to privately make appropriate choices about her reproductive healthcare with her doctor.
Education Reform, particularly expanding Pre-K education and curriculum alignment with the standards and establishment of Frameworks
Extending the statute of limitations for victims of sexual assault
What were your greatest disappointments in the 2019 legislative session?
That no environmental bills were brought to the floor of the House, including the plastic bag ban and Save the Bay's legislation to establish the OSCAR Fund by collecting a nickel on every barrel of fuel to set aside for resiliency projects. Many of my constituents wrote to me expressing support for both measures.
That we authorized new medical marijuana facilities to also be growers when we already have many licensed cultivators that have invested millions of dollars in their business development. We grew their competition without expanding their customer base.
What do you see as the state's greatest challenges in 2020?
Balancing the budget is always a complex challenge to solve, funding the
phase out of the car tax will grow again this year which will put more of burden on the programs designed to help our most vulnerable citizens.
Having recently received a presentation on the most recent storm tools has me very concerned that we have not developed the strategies that we need to plan for a 100-year storm, factoring in the sea level rise we are already experiencing. It is a goal to make more of my colleagues in the House aware of this threat.
We need to address the lack of affordable housing locally and statewide.
We need to address nicotine addiction in our youth. The federal government just raised the age to 21 for the purchase of nicotine products, but the state must pass legislation to update our own laws so that we are able to enforce the new Federal law.
School Funding Formula – I have been attending all the meetings of the Senate's study commission and look forward to seeing the report and recommendations about how we go forward.
What do you see as the region's greatest challenges in 2020?
My concern about the potential damage posed by the increased frequency of larger, stronger hurricanes and our preparedness to address the emergency and aftermath of a large storm raises concerns for me.
No doubt the most challenging event in 2019 was the gas crisis.
Were you satisfied with the outcome of investigations by the state, feds, and National Grid, including the time it took to complete and release these reports?
I think the report was released in time to allow us to prepare for this heating season. I want to make sure that the temporary LNG facility in Portsmouth does not become permanent. I think the moth balled facility located on the Navy base is a more appropriate location. I do have concerns with building new fossil fuel infrastructure when we should be developing and incentivizing programs that move us toward electrification of heating systems powered by renewable energy.
Do you feel enough has been done to prevent a repeat of the gas crisis?
In the short term yes. The DPUC has been very active on this and has made it very clear to the Aquidneck Island delegation that preventing a reoccurrence is a top priority for them.
What do you believe still needs to be done long-term to assure an uninterrupted gas flow on Aquidneck Island?
Please see my comments above. This is not my field of expertise, so I will be talking to experts to get their perspectives on the best way forward and I will follow Senator DiPalma's study commission.
Is there anything you feel is important for constituents to know at the start of this legislative session?
I have a survey on my website asking my constituents what their opinions are on some of the timely issues that may come up this session.
