In the years since I've had an infant, baby safety and baby proofing products have improved so much. There are gadgets on the market now that fascinate and impress me. The experts have thought of everything in an effort to keep little ones safe.
When we were baby proofing for our kiddos, we thought of the things most people do. Baby gates, electrical outlet covers, cabinet locks, pretty much everything we could think of. I wish we had found a resource like KidSafe, since they offer wonderful products that never entered my mind, like appliance locks, corner cushions, window guards, and so much more. They even have a blog about baby proofing your home and child safety. Boy, would that have helped a lot!
I truly believe a book on baby proofing or child safety supplies would make an excellent gift. These are things all new parents need, so I know I would have been thrilled to receive them as gifts. This is something I am definitely going to keep in mind.
What is your favorite child safety gadget? I am particularly impressed with retractable driveway guards, which I'd never seen before. I so would have loved one of those! I can't wait to hear about your favorites!
I have no idea what driveway guards are, something I need to find out about! Gates have been my lifesaver.
Give www.ebabysafe.com a try it helps!!!!


Hello:I'm trying to upgrade PrimalSQL 2009 from 1.0.6 to 1.1.1 on Windows 7 Enterprise 64-bit. Trying to run the install in compatibility mode, i.e. as a previous version of Windows - does not resolve the issue.When I run the setup PrimalSQl 2009 I receive an Installer Information Window with the following error:"The installer has encountered an unexpected error installing this package. This may indicate a problem with this package. The error code is 2738".There is also an event log entry with the following:"Windows Installer installed the product. Product Name: PrimalSQL 2009. Product Version: 1.1.1. Product Language: 1033. Manufacturer: SAPIEN Technologies, Inc.. Installation success or error status: 1603."
This error means the installer is unable to access the VBScript runtime engine on your machine. In this case, it is failing when it tries to uninstall the current version.
We updated the installer on the server. Please download the latest installer and see if the modification makes a difference.
As well as from the product donwload page. Same error and I'm unable to un-install manually.
Can you check the if you have the following key in your registry?
I don't think disabling the Antivirus will work here, but you can give it a try.
If it doesn't work, then you will need to unregister the vbscript engine and register it again.
Once you have created a backup, delete the key.
You should get a message saying it was successfully registered. Now you should be able to uninstall PrimalSQL.
Unfortunately, the security permissions for that key do not allow me to edit the key in any way.
What is the actual command line to run the uninstaller - can we try just runnning that command vs. trying to hack the registry and/or bypass anti-virus.
In order to delete the registry key you need to have admin privileges (in addition to the second step).
The problem lies with your VBScript installation. Since it resides in the CURRENT_USER key, Windows security will prevent all installers from running VBScripts. Therefore you bound to encounter this issue with other installers.
Note: We removed the script from the installer and updated the server for future reference.
I am an administrator on the box - but the only thing that has permission to the key in question is trusted installer. I may be having a brain cramp - but I was unable to change the permissions for the key you asked me to delete.Prior to posting this update - I've also tried downloading a new installer from both my.sapien.com and primaltools.com. I still receive the same error message.
While I can certainly live with the older version of Primal SQL that I currently have installed - it would be nice to be able to upgrade at some point. Am I downloading the setup MSI from the wrong place?
Try running regedit.exe with administrator privileges, in order to delete the key. Were you able to perform the second step of the fix?
The new installer will not work in this case, because it still has to access the custom action in the old install.

Have you tried to lose weight but just aren't successful? This is a pretty common experience. There is nothing unusual about failed weight loss efforts, and I think everyone can probably agree on that. This is one reason why the supplement industry has been booming lately. We thought it would be helpful to review some of these new supplements. Today we are looking at one called CLA Slim Quick. This is a new Pure Sunflower Oil product meant for weight loss. What could sunflower oil possibly have to do with weight loss? There are current claims that suggest that sunflower oil actually provides some weight loss results. Today we are going to analyze that claim for you. Then you can decide if you want to try this supplement or not.
CLA Slim Quick is a new sunflower oil supplement meant to be used for weight loss. Sunflower oil is a really common oil that you can find in pretty much any grocery store. It is used in cooking, but now that some are claiming it has weight loss benefits, supplement manufacturers are developing formulas with sunflower oil bases. It is a cultivated vegetable oil, and provides a high amount of vitamin E. Vitamin E is good for immunity, limits free radical damage, and has a load of the so-called "good fats," or unsaturated fats. These fats are god for cardiovascular health. If you want to learn more about CLA Slim Quick, read more below. Or click the button below to check out other popular weight loss supplements.
How Does CLA Slim Quick Work?
So what are these good fats, and how do they play a role in CLA Slim Quick? Polyunsaturated fats are considered the good fats. So can you really lose fat by eating fat? This seems totally counterintuitive, but there is some theoretical backing behind this. You are used to hearing about the benefits of garcinia cambogia. But this is a new kind of product. The sunflower oil fat is called linoleic acid, an omega-6 acid that is an essential nutrient for your body. However, too much can cause inflammation, so omega-3s are also recommended in your diet.
No studies have looked at CLA Slim Quick in particular, but there are some basic things we know about sunflower oil. For example, it may help with satiation, or the feeling of fullness. We know that losing weight is all about controlling calories. How do you control calories? You keep your consumption under control. Different kinds of nutrients have different levels of satiation. Sunflower oil may not be as satiating as other types of foods, however. Protein, for example, makes you feel fuller, thus keeping your calorie intake under control.
Without any reviews or research to prove the claims made by the makers of this product we can't be sure if it works. One thing we do know, however. You won't be able to lose weight by just supplementing your meals with sunflower oil. You need to take a holistic approach to weight loss. Even if you decide you want to try CLA Slim Quick Sunflower Oil, you need to exercise and diet along with this supplement. Will it help you lose weight? We don't know the answer to that. But sunflower oil is a great source of healthy fats that you should definitely add to your cooking!
Losing weight and managing that weight continuously is difficult. The older you get the more difficult it is to maintain a healthy weight. Without more information regarding CLA Slim Quick, we can't confirm that this supplement lives up to its claims. But a lot of people like experimenting with new weight loss products just to see if they work for them. But you need to make sure you are pairing use of the supplement with diet and exercise. To order, do a web search for CLA Slim Quick. You can also click one of the buttons on this page to check out another popular weight loss product.

New DUI Prevention Technology in Ford Vehicles Is a Game-Changer
Hopefully, this will help save lives.
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, about 32 Americans are killed daily in drunk-driving accidents. Ford just introduced technology that can help bring that number down.
The car manufacturer recently announced the integration of Sober Drive technology used to prevent DUIs and drunk driving-related accidents. This is currently available in the new Ford Bronco SUV.
A TikTok posted by user Rodney Stearns (@rodneystearns) showcases this new model, and it's honestly pretty cool.
This feature uses an algorithm to detect if someone is intoxicated by alcohol or drugs while they are driving. If any type of intoxication is detected, the car sends a warning to the driver and takes measures to make sure they are not driving under unsafe conditions.
This algorithm uses invisible sensors that keep track of various behavior such as steering acceleration and deceleration. This will hopefully make roads and highways safer for everyone inside and outside the vehicle.
"Honestly all cars should have this," TikTok user @annikagh253 commented under the video. "I don't get why all new cars don't have built-in breathalyzers to begin with," @labow49 said.
Some viewers were concerned that the car would slow them down even when they aren't intoxicated, and others believe this is an unnecessary added cost.
Whatever your opinion, you can't deny that this will hopefully prevent a lot of accidents.

Sinovac Announces Re-Election of All Directors at Annual General Meeting
Asks Delaware Court of Chancery to Determine
Whether Dissident Shareholders Triggered Sinovac's Shareholder Rights Plan
Board Approves Extension of Shareholder Rights Plan to March 27, 2019
Company Files Lawsuit in Federal District Court against Dissident Shareholders
for Violating U.S. Securities Law
BEIJING, March 5, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Sinovac Biotech Ltd. (NASDAQ: SVA) ("Sinovac" or the "Company"), a leading provider of biopharmaceutical products in China, today announced several important developments, including the re-election of its incumbent directors at its Annual General Meeting of Shareholders (AGM), which was held on February 6, 2018, and the filing of legal actions in the Delaware Court of Chancery and in the United States District Court for Massachusetts related to actions taken by certain dissident shareholders.
Mr. Weidong Yin, Chairman, President and CEO of the Company, stated, "The Board of Directors has a duty to ensure that the value of the Company is protected for all shareholders, and that Sinovac can continue its important work, which is to develop and provide solutions that address the significant unmet medical need for vaccines. The legal actions we have announced today are intended to ensure that dissident shareholders cannot act in secret to disrupt the election of directors and the governance of the Company."
At the AGM, all five of the Company's incumbent directors – Weidong Yin, Yuk Lam Lo, Simon Anderson Kenneth Lee and Meng Mei – were re-elected by a majority of the votes validly cast. The Company determined, after consultation with its Antigua legal counsel, that a ballot proposed by the dissident group without prior notice at the AGM was invalid.
Each of the other proposals presented at the AGM passed with a majority of votes cast, including approval of the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company for the financial year ended December 31, 2016 together with the Report of Independent Registered Accounting Firm and the note thereto; and approval of the appointment of Ernst & Young Hua Ming LLP as the independent auditors of the Company for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2017 and authorization of the directors to fix such independent auditors remuneration.
Sinovac Asks Delaware Court of Chancery to Determine Whether its Shareholder Rights Plan has been Triggered by Group of Dissident Shareholders
The Company has filed a lawsuit in the Delaware Court of Chancery seeking a determination by the Court whether the dissident shareholders have triggered the Company's shareholder rights plan by forming a group holding approximately 45% of Sinovac's outstanding shares, well in excess of the plan's threshold of 15%, and acting in concert at or prior to the AGM. The rights plan is intended to promote the fair and equal treatment of all Sinovac shareholders and ensure that no person or group can gain control of Sinovac through voting arrangements, open market accumulation or other tactics potentially disadvantaging the interest of all shareholders. The Company also announced that the Board has approved the extension of the rights plan, which was set to expire on March 27, 2018, to March 27, 2019.
Company Files Lawsuit in Federal District Court against Dissident Shareholders for Violating U.S. Securities Law
Sinovac also announced today that it has filed a lawsuit in the United States District Court for Massachusetts alleging violations of Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The lawsuit alleges, among other things, that 1Globe Capital and the Chiang Li Family failed to make required disclosures on Schedule 13D regarding their intentions to attempt to replace the Company's Board of Directors.
The Company stated, "We filed this suit against 1Globe Capital and the Chiang Li Family to ensure that all of our shareholders receive complete and accurate information about their holdings, intentions, plans and relationships to which they are entitled under U.S. federal securities laws. We are committed to protecting the interests of all Sinovac shareholders."
Latham & Watkins LLP is serving as the Company's legal counsel in the U.S. Federal securities litigation. Morris Nichols Arsht & Tunnell is serving as legal counsel in the action before the Delaware Court of Chancery. Delany Law is the Company's legal counsel in Antigua and Barbuda, where the Company is chartered.
Sinovac Biotech Ltd. is a China-based biopharmaceutical company that focuses on the research, development, manufacturing and commercialization of vaccines that protect against human infectious diseases. Sinovac's product portfolio includes vaccines against enterovirus71, or EV71, hepatitis A and B, seasonal influenza, H5N1 pandemic influenza (avian flu), H1N1 influenza (swine flu), and mumps. The EV71 vaccine, an innovative vaccine developed by Sinovac against hand foot and mouth disease caused by EV71, was commercialized in China in 2016. In 2009, Sinovac was the first company worldwide to receive approval for its H1N1 influenza vaccine, which it has supplied to the Chinese Government's vaccination campaign and stockpiling program. The Company is also the only supplier of the H5N1 pandemic influenza vaccine to the government stockpiling program. The Company is developing a number of new products including a Sabin-strain inactivated polio vaccine, pneumococcal polysaccharides vaccine, pneumococcal conjugate vaccine and varicella vaccine. Sinovac primarily sells its vaccines in China, while also exploring growth opportunities in international markets. The Company has exported select vaccines to over 10 countries in Asia and South America. For more information, please visit the Company's website at www.sinovac.com.

You didn't expect this. You certainly don't understand it. You were at church Sunday and the Holy Spirit came on so thick you were expecting a vision. You haven't gotten a vision since your healing. You sit and wait for it. Close your eyes super tight, relax them, sit up, sit back, the Holy Spirit as thick as that day two years ago. No vision. The Lord tells you He is going to show up a little differently today. And yet you didn't expect this.
God gave you free babysitting this year. You asked for it, and God gave it to you. You expected that part. (What can you say, you've already confessed on this blog that you are spiritually spoiled.) This relationship has become so much more than equal babysitting. Elizabeth has been God's grace incarnate so many times you tear up thinking about it. And this was not the most convenient year for her to meet others needs. A single mom, three kids, a shaky income. She babysits your peanut even when she doesn't need you for babysitting that week. You fight about who has the easier end of the bargain, both claiming to have the long end of the stick. She loves your baby so well, she loves your whole family so well. You get a glimpse of what it might have looked like to live in the church Luke talks about in Acts. If even just the smallest sliver of a glimpse.
On Sunday she was having a rough day. It all came down all at once at church. (Doesn't it always? Neither of you seem to have the capacity to break down in private, only in public. Sigh.) But as you talk through everything the Lord meets her needs, and not just her needs but her desires. The ones God spoke in her heart, just for her. The bricks fall into place, the sky opens, the promise she had told you about in October, the one she was allowed to cash in in 2010. That impossible promise is redeemed in the matter of 15 minutes in a conversation between friends. And you got to be there.
And then, there was more. MORE. You shake even now as type this. If God keeps showing up like this you will be completely ruined for the everyday. You will be shocked when God doesn't miraculously appear. God has you open up an etsy shop. Even now as you type this, you know it sounds crazy, ludicrous, almost patronizing even. Your friend needs a better job and you tell her to sell baby sweaters online.
You have increasingly done your Christmas shopping online. You don't like going to stores by yourself and your husband hates crowds, plus you can shop online at work. Somehow you found the website etsy and have been stalking it. You aren't quite sure what appeals to you about it, but it is really freaking cool. You have played with the idea of starting a shop, and while you haven't listed anything yet you registered and have played around a little with the skeleton of it.
As she comes over that day, everything falls exactly into place. You take pictures of the things she has made and make your baby model them. You know you aren't a great photographer and yet every picture snaps magically into place. The Holy Spirit shows up so thick again you both have trouble breathing, like the air is too thick or something. You keep thinking about how crazy this all is. You both figure that if anything comes out of this it will be all God. Because what you two are doing makes no sense.
You put the shop together on Monday morning. You knew it was what you were supposed to be doing. But you kept shaking your head at how silly this was. Why this God? You tell the Lord He doesn't make any sense. He tells you that is none of your business, He is asking for obedience. So you do it. Monday night late you check it on a lark. You know there are shops that go months and months with no one even looking at their stuff. You have a sale. And because God has a sense of humor it is the item with an owl on it. Owls, you hear your dad's voice in your head, are a sign of the prophetic.
Complete;y ruining you for the everyday is God's plan, except that what you are experiencing now is the everyday the way it should be and of course more much much more.


This blog post covers the latest updates for Power BI Developers community. Don't forget to check out the April blog post, if you haven't done so already.
Here is the list of May updates for embedded analytics.
When the iFrame size that is allocated for the embedded object and the embedded object itself do not share the same aspect ratio, it results in grey margins on the sides (shown below: marked in red).
While using the 'Custom Layout' API, which allows you to define how to fill the iFrame or set fixed size for the object at any time, might solve most of the grey margins appearance, there are still cases where it does not solve it entirely.
We now enable application developers to set the background color of the iFrame by making it transparent. By doing so, the iFrame will get the defined color of the DIV element containing the iFrame. It will give developers full control of what color/ background layout will be seen in the margins, making the embedded object wrapped entirely by the application design.
In our March blog post, we introduced support for Bookmarks API. This allows the ability to create bookmarks dynamically, by any user for any purpose.
This month, we enable the application to apply those bookmarks upon loading the report. This feature opens your application to more capabilities that can be added for your end users. For example, when an end user captures a report state, the application can allow the user to set it as a 'default state' for that report. Each time the end user opens the report, the bookmark will be applied, and the user will immediately see the report in the desired state for data exploration, rather than doing all the filtering from scratch repeatedly.
Want to get your POC up and running fast? Can't wait to start coding with our APIs? We have built a new setup page that will take you through all the configurations needed to get started with Power BI Embedded faster than before.
Embedding for your customers– Help your customers access the data they need to make better decisions from within your application, without managing Power BI licenses to all your users.
Embedding for your organization– Give your employees a single view across their ecosystem, no matter where they access their data. Manage users and permissions using Power BI licenses.
Ted Pattison, a Power BI MVP and instructor from Critical Path Training, has published a great sample application of Power BI Embedded in GitHub. This sample shows the basics you need to embed a report and demonstrates many of the new capabilities we offer through the JS API to enrich your user's interactions with analytics. Among the capabilities are Visual embedding, Bookmarks, Phased loading and many more.
Microsoft Business Applications Summit– tons of content for Power BI and Power BI Embedded, and a great chance to interact with the Power BI Product team.
Power BI Custom Visuals for Excel… Better together!
As part of Build this year, we announced that Power BI Custom Visuals will be rolling out in Preview to Office 365. Now your Custom Visual in the marketplace can be reached to millions of Excel users. Same code used on both Power BI and Excel!
Read more about the integration and the announcement.
Early bits are coming soon, stay tuned!

In other words, this feature lets you design a report page to be used as a custom tooltip for other visuals in your report.
The API supporting Report tooltips for Custom Visual is 1.12 – planned to be released by next month.
Load more data API overcome the hard limit of 30K data point. It brings data in chunks. The chunk size is configurable to improve performance according to use case.
// special handling of the 1st segment of new data.
With the new API released 1.12, the slicers in custom visuals will have consistent filter experience as with the filter in core visual.
For instance pin to dashboard will not be allowed as with the core filter, same with visual interaction both kind of slicers will have similar experience now.


If you've been injured in an accident, or are suffering from an illness that makes it impossible to work, you are probably worried about your future. How will you pay your bills? How will you support your family? At Honerlaw Law Office, LLC, we are here to help. For over 30 years, attorney Michael J. Honerlaw has been helping clients get the Social Security Disability (SSD) benefits they need to live their lives.
In Ohio, SSD benefits are available to people who are disabled and unable to work for at least one year, or those whose disabilities are expected to be fatal. This is a high standard to meet, and as such, SSD applications are carefully scrutinized.
You initial application is your chance to prove you are entitled to SSD. It is extremely important to prove you have a disability and that it impairs your ability to work. This requires gathering all evidence of your accident or illness, including medical records, and having your doctors complete necessary questionnaires.
At Honerlaw Law Office, LLC, we can help you with this process. Completing your application correctly — and thoroughly — is extremely important. Many applications are denied. While you can appeal — and we can help — the appeals process is time-consuming. Each day that passes without an approval is a day you don't get SSD benefits. Working with an experienced SSD lawyer upfront will give you the best chance at having your application approved.
If you are applying for SSD benefits — or have had your application for SSD denied — contact our firm. We will help you get the benefits you are entitled to in the most efficient process possible. Call us at 513-342-1853 to learn more about how we can help. Consultations are free. Our office is located in West Chester and we serve clients throughout the Cincinnati area.

Okay, now some contest I didn't even remember entering has chosen my "project" for their film festival. I just can't figure out what that means. At worst, it means a mention on the Beverly Hills Film Festival website and in their program. At best it means a trip to Beverly Hills. Life has been unutterably difficult lately thanks to the misbehavior of all sorts of people on the periphery of my life. (I count my blessings that they are not individuals who are close to me; nevertheless, I've been suffering). I could really use a creative getaway. LA is simultaneously terrifying and exciting. I need something to look forward to.

Image Nation Abu Dhabi, in partnership with twofour54 tadreeb, announced the six finalists of the first annual Arab Film Studio's Short Film Competition.
The finalists will now participate in a three-month film training program and series of challenges which will culminate with one winner being awarded Dh50,000 to develop a feature screenplay for Image Nation Abu Dhabi.
Image Nation Abu Dhabi launched Arab Film Studio in the fall as part of its mission to identify, train and foster budding Emirati filmmakers and provide them with the discipline and training needed for successful careers in the film industry. The call for entries was announced in early November with contestants asked to submit a brief three-minute video. The entries were then reviewed and contestants interviewed, with six finalists selected.
Mohammed Al Otaiba, Head of Image Nation Abu Dhabi, commented: "We were thrilled with the level of talent we witnessed in the entries for our first annual Short Film Competition. The submissions show there is great potential and promise for filmmaking in the UAE. We are proud to provide an outlet to develop this talent and continue our mission of building a world-class film industry in the UAE."
The six finalists, who are all UAE Nationals, include Eisa Al Sabousi, Fatima Al Dhaheri, Khalid Al Abdulla, Mariam Khanji, Omar Butti and Sarah Al Ameri.
They will create teams with members representing any nationality.Teams will then participate in a three-month intensive film training program to learn all elements of film making from development through production and marketing. Courses will be delivered by film professionals from twofour54 in partnership with the BBC Academy and SAE Institute Dubai.
Throughout the program, teams will participate in activities including script writing, make up and sound design with the final task being a short film produced by each team. The short films will be reviewed by a distinguished panel of international judges with one film selected as the overall winner.
Wayne Borg, Deputy CEO and Chief Operating Officer, twofour54 commented: "twofour54 is committed to the development of the Arab world's media and entertainment industry and we are always looking to support initiatives such as Arab Film Studio. The number and quality of entries clearly demonstrates the growing interest that young UAE Nationals have in developing films that tell 'their story' and reflect them culturally. twofour54 tadreeb will now provide the finalists with world-class training to further develop the skills they need to succeed in the media industry."


In our never ending hunt for great coffee, we have received an amazing bag from Costa Rica. Grown in the mountainous terrain of the Tarrazu region by a cooperative of small growers and processed at the La Eva mill, a mill known to pay close attention to detail. The coffee is SHB, or Strictly Hard Bean and has been given the highest quality rating available in Costa Rica. The coffee is first picked by hand then washed and processed. Processing includes fermentation where the beans are dried in the sun, and finally it goes through several sorting processes where is it both sorted by hand and mechanically. The cup has a sweet aroma, like a tropical flower, medium in body, clean, bright, and lively, and finishes with a clean nutty finish.
Cupping Profile: Sweet aroma, bright and lively coffee, snaps the taste buds with floral notes and finishes with a clean and nutty finish.
A portion of the profits from the purchase of this green coffee are given to assist with the work of a ministry called Potters Field Kids in Costa Rica, providing needed resources such as after school programs, special tutoring, Bible clubs and more.


Looking for a development tool that provides a unique and powerful alternative to Bootstrap? UIKit is a powerful framework that allows developers to build sophisticated tools with a range of unique features and customisation options. Designed specifically for iOS applications, UIKit defines the core components of iOS applications, all the way from navigation controllers, to labels, and buttons.
At it's core, UIKit is a lightweight and modular front-end framework device designed for developing powerful and fast web interfaces. Here, we're going to take a look at what makes this tool so effective for those who want to create powerful and engaging online experiences.
Common components: These include features that commonly appear within most development systems, such as icons, overlays, badges, and buttons.
Default components: These systems are designed to normalise and implement HTML features for easy cross-border functionality.
Layout components: Perfect for the designer, the fully-responsible grid system comes with common layout components that transform user experience, such as blog articles and comment sections.
Navigation components: Any developer knows that fast and simple navigation is critical to success. Bars and side-navigation solutions can be added to help customers steer through content.
Element components: These include basic HTML elements like forms and tables. The UIKit system ensures that elements use their own distinct classes, so they don't interfere with default settings.
As mentioned above, the UIKit experience is designed specifically for iOS development. In fact, it's often regarded as the equivalent of the Application Kit system for OS development. Because it's intended for use with mobile device interfaces, UIKit naturally comes pre-set with a number of responsive class breakpoints intended to help developers design content that's perfectly-suited to different viewpoints.
Although most people will use the UIKit specifically for phone applications, there are breakpoint systems available for tablets, desktops, laptops, and large desktop systems too.
Components are a fantastic part of the development experience for people in the UI creation sphere today. With components, it's possible to take a step-by-step modular approach towards success in the interface creation world. We've already discussed some of the basic components that are packed into the UIKit experience, but the collection of responsive features offered by this tool is actually a lot greater than you could imagine.
Aside from standard options like buttons, and HTML features, UIKit also offers a range of more advanced components that aren't necessarily included in the core framework. The reason that these components aren't inside of the core kit already is that the experts behind UIKit believe that they're not the kind of thing a developer would include in their everyday website. However, they can come in handy with advanced user interfaces that might be used for administration purposes. Customers using the UIKit structure can explore both standard and advanced components set for themselves, ranging from Progress bars, to upload information, and even placeholder components. Importantly, because the UIKit system is open source, it means that new integrations and developments are emerging in the community at an almost consistent rate. UIKit users can essentially discover unlimited uses for UIKit.
The component-rich nature of UIKit, combined with the fact that you can adjust the basic style of the system with bespoke themes and personalised looks, means that every aspect of working with this tool is completely user chosen. There's no one-size-fits-all approach to this system, which is highly appealing to the modern developer who wants to differentiate their creations.
The build-your-own approach behind UIKit makes it a highly appealing opportunity for developers who want systems that don't necessarily fit the mould. What's more, there's a wide community out there to explore too, which adds to the unique nature of the UIKit experience.

Rote love poem
Ho salao ma sia doma
Na au puisi mana meulau tebes do
Te nggengger ma mopo e
Ia au dedea "au sue ho" terakhir do
Translated into Roti by Ellen Loa
The words "puisi" and "terakhir", respectively "poem" and "last" are here in Indonesian, the translator does not know them in roti.
Rote language
The translation of my love poem into the Rote language (Roti, Rotte, Rotti, Lote), from Rote Island, which is one of the small Sunda Islands in Indonesia. I dedicate it to all the women of the Rote ethnic groups!
Rote, is a language of the central-eastern group of Austronesian languages.
The inhabitants of Rote Island, call themselves Lotes; it is with the influence of Dutch that the names of these natives, and their language, have often been written: Rotte, Rotti, Roti.
On Rote, the Malay language has been used since the 17th century, at this time, to correspond with the governance of Batavia. And it is ultimately, the Malay, widely associated with Christianity, which will be used as a literary language.
The stories of Aba Nabas (adviser of the Sultan Harun ar rasyid), are very popular. The inhabitants of Rotte, consider him as the hero who reflects them; these edited and re-edited stories are part of their literature.
Likewise, an oral poem, sung in a ritual manner, the Bini, reveals that the succession of things, even when it is question of power, is of a natural order, and must be respected ... moreover, this word respect, is essential for them.
Rote people and Roti Island
Roti (Rote) is an island located off the southwestern tip of the island of Timor, in the province of East Nusa Tenggara with a population of 95,000.
It is an arid island, sterile and poor of natural resources, its inhabitants, live from a little breeding, fishing and agriculture (rice, corn and cotton), and especially from the exploitation of palm trees, for palm sugar.
The ancestors of the Rote people would have arrived from Sera Sue do Dai Laka or Seram in Maluku, via Flores and Timor (Mubyarto, 1991).
The social model of these populations is the nusak, based on a kinship group called Leo, under the leadership of a Manek (chief) called Manelo ... all grouped together in territorial communities.
Within each nusak (there are 18), there is a unique language and culture, which could make communication between villages difficult; but for the people of Roti Island, diversity, cultural and linguistic, rather than being a problem is seen as normal, and a richness ... and emphasizing its differences, allows them to show their identity, and the pride they have in respecting each other.

Inspired by what has been the backbone of the Floris family business for nearly 300 years in the unique area of London that is St James's and the Floris home at 89 Jermyn Street, this fragrance, like its inspiration has the feel of refined elegance, understated class and style. Drawing on notes of gin with a splash of lemon, an initial burst of citrus and green notes have been blended with the theme of vetiver. The vetiver runs through the fragrance from its introduction to the base and is supported in the heart, accompanied by juniper with a contemporary twist of coriander, a subtle complement in gin creation. The fragrance also draws inspiration from the London plane trees which proudly still stand in front of the shop today, and the fresh scent of fine crisp cotton found within the renowned shirtmakers residing in the iconic location named after Henry Jermyn in 1664.


Today the Teri Jon Wedding Guide Blog will be sitting down with our incredible founder and CEO Rickie Freeman and discuss the details of the planning process of her daughter's destination wedding. While it was her third child to get married, it was the first time she planned a wedding in a different state which led to some unique logistical challenges. Now on the other side she is thrilled to be able to offer some tried and true advice to our customers.
Q. I'm considering having my wedding at a destination but I'm still unsure. What made you decide to have your wedding in a different state than the bride and groom's home?
A. It meant a lot to the bride and groom to have a smaller, intimate wedding. They wanted to be surrounded by their close family and friends. How could I disagree with that?
Q. How far in advance must I send invitations for a destination wedding?
A. As soon as possible! An email or printed save the date should go out as soon as the location and venue are confirmed (ie. you gave a deposit). A destination wedding requires most of your guests to make arrangements for airfare, lodging, and even time off of work, so you need to give them as much time as you are able to. I also recommend creating a website with the details of the events and schedule so the guest know when to fly in and out. It does not cost much and a simple WordPress or Wix site can be built within a few hours for this purpose.
Q. Is it much more expensive to plan a destination wedding?
A. We are from NYC so the costs of making a wedding here are quite expensive. That being said, a destination wedding was less expensive but not by much.
Q. Did you use a professional party planner or event coordinator? Was it worth it?
A. YES!!! There are so many details to keep track of when planning a wedding and a destination wedding adds so many more elements. From welcoming guests when they land from their trip, to making sure their hotel reservations at the hotel with the group rate is easy, not to mention planning a party not in your home city, there is just so much that is required to make it go smoothly. If you can afford it, I highly recommend it.
Q. How did you choose vendors from so far away?
A. I spoke to many local Floridians for recommendations but ultimately relied on my amazing party planner. Once you have that trust in someone who is an expert in the industry you can let go to let them do what they are best at and plan your event. We took a recommendation from a Floridian friend about a restaurant to host the rehearsal dinner . My husband and I booked an appointment there a week before the rehearsal dinner to try it out, and, well, it was a disaster! Luckily I am an experienced cook. We quickly scrambled and sent the restaurant some of my personal tried and true recipes that he prepared at the rehearsal dinner, and thankfully it came out great. It could have been a complete disaster.
Q. Did you make a trip to the destination in advance? Do you think it's necessary?
A. Being there is very important. We made three trips to the venue to check on everything. However, if time and budget constraints don't allow it for you I think it's okay if you are working with an experienced event coordinator that you trust.
Q. How do you match the bridal and other dresses to the wedding venue and theme?
A. This is an interesting question. The bride wanted everyone to wear creams, ivory and golds, however, she was a very special bride. It looked fantastic. Many other brides might not be comfortable with her guests in a color that is so close to white, and we'd encourage everyone to look to the bride first for her preferences (it's her day!). However, ultimately nothing is more beautiful or flattering than confidence and it is in the bride's best interest that everyone be comfortable with their dress of choice. If not everyone can get on board with her vision, I would say that it's more important that you get along with your sister and your new inlaws for the rest of your life than for everyone to be wearing the exact same shade of the same color for the one night of your wedding.
Q. How do I travel with a dress?
A. This was one of our biggest concerns. How were we going to carry all the gowns to Florida? Fortunately, we found that flight attendants are so understanding. They were excited for our wedding celebration and were so accommodating and hung the dress in the coat closet. Just don't forget to take it with you after the flight! I do not recommend checking in the dress. Luggage can easily get lost and you don't want to be without your dresses on the big day.
Q. How do I dress for the weather and destination?
A. Their are a few factors to keep in mind. You will need to pack and carry your dress so something on the lighter side is ideal if possible. Also, most destination weddings have warmer climates so you want to pick fabrics that breath. Laces, chiffons, beading, or cotton based fabrics are all great. You want the dress to have some ventilation.
Q. What words of wisdom would you give to someone planning a destination wedding?
Q. How far in advance should I shop for a dress?
A. It is never too soon to find the perfect dress. When you try on the right one- you will know!

In the late fifteenth century, a process of admixture was initiated with the arrival of the Europeans, and several years later, Africans also became part of the Colombian population. Therefore, the genepool of the current Colombian population results from the admixture of Native Americans, Europeans and Africans. This admixture occurred differently in each region of the country, producing a clearly stratified population. Considering the importance of population substructure in both clinical and forensic genetics, we sought to investigate and compare patterns of genetic ancestry in Colombia by studying samples from Native and non-Native populations living in its 5 continental regions: the Andes, Caribe, Amazonia, Orinoquía, and Pacific regions. For this purpose, 46 AIM-Indels were genotyped in 761 non-related individuals from current populations. Previously published genotype data from 214 Colombian Natives from five communities were used for population comparisons. Significant differences were observed between Native and non-Native populations, among non-Native populations from different regions and among Native populations from different ethnic groups. The Pacific was the region with the highest African ancestry, Amazonia harboured the highest Native ancestry and the Andean and Orinoquían regions showed the highest proportion of European ancestry. The Andean region was further sub-divided into 6 sub-regions: North East, Central West, Central East, West, South West and South East. Among these regions, the South West region showed a significantly lower European admixture than the other regions. Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium and variance values of ancestry among individuals within populations showed a potential stratification of the Pacific population.
