Perhaps it says something about my continued stubbornness when it comes to table manners, but finger food is my favorite type of food.
I remember at family holiday parties my tendency to find the door that all the cater waiters come out of and post-up right outside of it. I've been known to embrace similar tactics in adulthood, especially at weddings, when come cocktail hour I'm hangry enough to pounce headfirst into a tray of crab cakes.
But now that I'm gluten-free and try to eat a more balanced diet, there are fewer trays that I'm able to attack. Last holiday season, I found this to be an incredibly depressing reality of my new finger food loving existence. But it isn't necessarily a bad thing, so long as you're the one designing what goes out that swinging kitchen door.
After all, while standing outside the catering tent at weddings is great as a special occasion practice, when you have a flurry of holiday parties in one week, as can happen this time of year, doing so at every single one might cause you to require a triple bypass before the age of 30. It's a marathon not a sprint, people.
Since Thanksgiving gluttony leads straight into this period of merriment, and said merriment usually involves oodles of carbs and calories, I thought I'd take it upon myself to design two recipes for President Cheese that won't leave you wishing your reindeer sweater came in a slightly chunkier cable knit.
First up, is a spin on stuffed mushroom caps. Instead of the usual creamy spinach dip filling with mayo and cream cheese, I did a faux creamed kale by sautéing the greens with a little Président® Unsalted Butter and mixing them together with pureed white beans. The caps are topped with a light dusting of Président® Manchego cheese, which produces a decadent brown crust.

In the meantime, these healthy stuffed mushrooms would make for the perfect gluten-free Thanksgiving appetizer or main course, if you went with a portobello cap.
Eat up!
These healthy stuffed mushrooms uses white bean puree to create creamy kale without the dairy. It's a great gluten-free vegetarian appetizer recipe!
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter or olive oil
- 1 large shallot, thinly sliced
- 1 large garlic clove, minced
- ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 teaspoon salt, divided
- 2 cups frozen kale
- ¼ cup white wine
- One 15-ounce can cannellini beans, rinsed and drained
- Olive oil
- 1 pound cremini mushrooms (about 20), brushed with a damp towel and stems removed
- 1/2 cup grated President Manchego cheese
- Preheat the oven to 375ºF.
- Heat the butter in a large nonstick skillet. Sauté the shallot over medium heat until soft, 3 minutes. Add the garlic, red pepper and ½ teaspoon salt and cook one more minute. Fold in the kale and cook, stirring occasionally, until the kale has softened and released its liquid, 4 minutes. Add the white wine and simmer until evaporated, 1 minute. Set aside.
- Meanwhile, in a small food processor, puree the beans with ½ teaspoon salt, 1 tablespoon of olive oil and ¼ cup of water until smooth. Fold the white bean puree into the kale mixture and stir to combine.
- Arrange the mushroom caps on a parchment lined baking sheet and brush the outside of the caps lightly with olive oil. Scoop a large spoonful of the kale mixture into the cavity of each cap. Top with the cheese.
- Bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes or until the mushrooms are tender and the cheese has begun to brown.
- Serve warm or at room temperature
You can easily make this recipe vegan by sauteing the kale in olive oil and omitting the cheese.

'The doll market has not felt the recession,' Bunny Campione of Sotheby's said. German, Swiss and particularly Italian collectors are still much in evidence, although there are fewer Japanese. Bonhams plans a pounds 1m sale of dolls on 10 and 11 November.
The waxed dolls of 1860-1900 were quite difficult to sell until two years ago, according to Julia Harris of Bonhams. Fetching around pounds 400- pounds 600 then, they have jumped to pounds 2,000 if in original costume. Look for Montanari and Pierotti, both English manufacturers despite their Italian names.
'Bisque' dolls are popular and fetch good prices provided they are in good condition. The French firms Bru and Jumeau made good examples, as did the German firm Simon and Halbig. Christie's South Kensington has a 16 1/2 in (42cm) example in a sale on 17 September.
It is estimated at pounds 2,000- pounds 3,000; a similar mulatto doll of circa 1891 made only pounds 352 in 1987.
Post-Second World War dolls are already in demand. The 18in to 20in hard plastic Pedigree examples of the 1950s are pounds 20- pounds 30 each, but the early Barbie dolls are more in demand.
There have been some surprising price rises. A doll obtained by using vouchers in the 1930s, 'Betty Oxo', made by Dean's Rag Book Company, with printed features on her cloth face, is expected to make pounds 400- pounds 500 at Christie's on Thursday. A similar boxed example might have made only pounds 100 five years ago.
Wooden dolls are very sought after. Six or seven years ago an eighteenth- century wooden doll might have realised pounds 1,200- pounds 2,000. Only last year Bonhams sold an 18in one with some costumes, circa 1760, for pounds 7,500 plus 10 per cent buyer's premium. Its next toy sale is on 28 October and doll and bear auction on 14 December.
Doll's houses are holding their prices well, according to Neil-John Leonard of the auctioneers Phillips. Two firms to look for are Christian Hacker and Gosschalk. Six to seven years ago a good Gosschalk cost pounds 250. Today it costs around pounds 4,500 if in good decorative condition and with some furniture.
Teddy bears remain popular, although the price of pounds 60,000 is unlikely to be seen again for some time. This was secured for a 1928 Steiff bear at Sotheby's two years ago. Look for little wear to the plush, dual tone with a dark tip to the fur, a line down the snout, and blue or brown eyes for the best Steiff examples.
Silvery-white 25in Steiff bears make pounds 2,000- pounds 3,000, but 30in honey-gold coloured ones of circa 1910 command pounds 3,000- pounds 4,000. The top prices go for the black teddies ( pounds 8,000-12,000). Check for the Steiff metal disc in the left ear, which should show an elephant design or a plain button for 1904-05, or an embossed Steiff emblem for 1905-06.

This is easy to fix and it must be fixed for 1.2 final.
Dan, heap corruption can be turned into an exploit in some cases. It's a ton of
work but we can't discount it.
Anyone working on this? This is a 1.2 blocker.

Comment on attachment 104404 [details] [diff] [review]
prevent attack (plus fix unrelated nearby memory leak)
Dan, is -1 the only possible value that can be exploited? Is it ever legitimate
for this value to be negative? We might want to be extra safe and check for any
nonsensical value, not just -1.
If that's the only value that could possibly cause heap corruption, then
The size value is not actually -1, it's unsigned. When you add 1 to it (to
account for the null) it overflows; any other large value is OK.
Would be nice to re-write this to keep track of the file size rather than rely
on null termination.

So, after many phone calls and emails and faxing of contracts about Hurra Torpedo coming to Atomic to shoot part of their documentary, the band, which includes the Sexiest Man in Norway (and a loooong time Atomic Books customer), didn't make it to Baltimore yesterday. At all.
Still, funny guys. You should check out their cover of "Total Eclipse of the Heart" if you don't know what they're about.
Musicians are a difficult lot to work with.
Now writers, they're alright.

Aetna considers balloon dacryocystoplasty (also referred to as balloon dacryoplasty) medically necessary for the treatment of any of the following indications:
Aetna considers balloon dacryocystoplasty experimental and investigational for all other indications, including treatment of nasolacrimal duct obstruction associated with the following conditions for which balloon dacryocystoplasty has not been proven to be effective because of insufficient evidence in the peer-reviewed literature:
Aetna considers osteopathic manipulation experimental and investigational for the treatment of congenital nasolacrimal duct obstruction because its effectiveness for this indication has not been established.
Aetna considers the use of silicone stenting in balloon dacryocystoplasty experimental and investigational because of insufficient evidence of this approach.Background
Twenty percent of infants develop symptoms of congenital nasolacrimal duct obstruction (CNDO) during their 1st month of life, with spontaneous resolution of symptoms being the most common outcome. In the absence of therapy, approximately 1 % of infants will still be affected by their 1st birthday. Congenital nasolacrimal duct obstruction is usually caused by a persistent membranous obstruction at the lower end of the nasolacrimal duct, and can often lead to dacryocystitis. Symptoms include epiphora (tearing) and discharge of mucus and pus. Conservative treatments of CNDO include simple lid cleaning and when there is clinical evidence of infection, appropriate antibiotics. The role of lacrimal sac massage in the management of CNDO needs to be further investigated. Probing of the nasolacrimal duct is not usually recommended before the infant is 12 months of age. If probing fails, other approaches such as turbinate fracture, intubation and balloon dilation of the nasolacrimal duct (dacryocystoplasty/dacryoplasty) may be needed.
Dacryocystoplasty, a non-surgical treatment, is performed as an outpatient procedure after topical anesthesia. It entails the passage of a fluoroscopically guided wire through the lacrimal duct (LacriCATH Lacrimal Duct Balloon Catheter, Atrion Medical Products, Birmingham, AL), followed by balloon dilation at the site of obstruction. If unsuccessful, this procedure still allows a dacryocystorhinostomy to be employed later. Available scientific literature has demonstrated that balloon dacryocystoplasty is effective in treating CNDO.
Adults, especially individuals over 40 years of age, as well as children can also suffer from nasolacrimal duct obstruction(s) that may result in dacryocystitis. For chronic dacryocystitis, symptoms include chronic tearing and discharge, infection, pain and discomfort around the eye. Although the standard method for treating obstruction of lacrimal duct in adults is dacryocystorhinostomy, balloon dacryocystoplasty has been used increasingly for this purpose. Studies have indicated that balloon dilation of the nasolacrimal duct is effective in treating this condition.
In a systematic review, Posadzki et al (2013) evaluate the effectiveness of osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT) as a treatment of pediatric conditions. A total of 11 databases were searched from their respective inceptions to November 2012. Only randomized clinical trials (RCTs) were included, if they tested OMT against any type of control in pediatric patients. Study quality was critically appraised by using the Cochrane criteria. A total of 17 trials met the inclusion criteria; 5 RCTs were of high methodological quality. Of those, 1 favored OMT, whereas 4 revealed no effect compared with various control interventions. Replications by independent researchers were available for 2 conditions only, and both failed to confirm the findings of the previous studies. Seven RCTs suggested that OMT leads to a significantly greater reduction in the symptoms of asthma, congenital nasolacrimal duct obstruction (post-treatment), daily weight gain and length of hospital stay, dysfunctional voiding, infantile colic, otitis media, or postural asymmetry compared with various control interventions. Seven RCTs indicated that OMT had no effect on the symptoms of asthma, cerebral palsy, idiopathic scoliosis, obstructive apnea, otitis media, or temporo-mandibular disorders compared with various control interventions. Three RCTs did not perform between-group comparisons. The majority of the included RCTs did not report the incidence rates of adverse effects. The authors concluded that the evidence of the effectiveness of OMT for pediatric conditions remains unproven due to the paucity and low methodological quality of the primary studies.
Furthermore, an UpToDate review on "Nasolacrimal duct obstruction (dacryostenosis) in children" (Paysse et al, 2014) does not mention the use of OMT as a therapeutic option.
Huang et al (2014) noted that dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR) is commonly performed for epiphora, dacryocystitis and during tumor surgery. External (EXT-DCR) and endoscopic DCR (END-DCR) are both practiced. END-DCR was initially performed with laser (EL-DCR) but has shifted to careful bone removal with mechanical drills (EM-DCR). High level evidence from comparative cohorts was sought to compare outcomes. Medline (1966 to January 28, 2013) and Embase (1980 to January 28, 2013) were searched for comparative studies (RCT/cohorts) of END-DCR to EXT-DCR for acquired nasolacrimal duct (NLD) obstruction. Primary outcome was DCR success, defined as resolution of symptoms and/or patent NLD on irrigation or dacroscintography. Secondary outcomes were scarring, infection and post-operative bleeding. Meta-analysis was performed with the Mantel-Haenszel Method and presented as risk ratios (RR) with confidence intervals (CI). The search identified 3,582 studies and 355 were reviewed after screening. Full text review yielded 19 studies (4 RCTs and 15 cohorts). Overall, EXT-DCR had slightly better success rates than END-DCR (RR 0.96, CI: 0.93 to 1.00). However, EM-DCR outcomes were comparable to EXT-DCR (RR 1.02, CI: 0.98 to 1.06), whereas EL-DCR had poorer outcomes (RR 0.85, CI: 0.79 to 0.91) when compared separately. The RR for scarring, bleeding and infection with END-DCR versus EXT-DCR was 0.07 (CI: 0.02 to 0.22), 0.72 (CI: 0.46 to 1.13) and 0.24 (CI: 0.11 to 0.54), respectively. The rates of reported revision surgery were similar. The authors concluded that DCR is a procedure with high success rates. Endoscopic procedures differ greatly by technique with EM-DCR offering comparable results to EXT-DCR, without the risk of cosmetically unacceptable scars.
Silicone Stenting in Balloon Dacryocystoplasty:
Marcet et al (2014) reviewed the current surgical practices in endoscopic endonasal DCR (EN-DCR) from the studies of last 12 months. Success rates in EN-DCR now rival those of the conventional external approach. Indications are expanding beyond primary acquired nasolacrimal duct obstruction to include DCR revisions, acute lacrimal sac abscesses, nasolacrimal duct obstructions in patients who have received chemotherapy or radiation, and common canalicular obstructions. There is limited evidence that intubation with silicone stents improves the outcomes. Mitomycin C appears to improve the success rates of EN-DCR, especially revision surgery. Concomitant procedures, such as septoplasty and anterior middle turbinectomy, are sometimes needed in primary as well as revision EN-DCR to achieve high success rates. There is increasing evidence that silicone stents are of limited benefit, whereas mucosal flap formation has been of benefit in case series. The authors concluded that with innovations and improvements in the endonasal approach, EN-DCR has become a viable alternative to external DCR for primary acquired nasolacrimal duct obstruction; EN-DCR has the distinct advantages of no surface scar and a lack of damage to the pump mechanism that often occur with external DCR. They stated that recent evidence indicated a comparable success rate to external DCR.
Feng et al (2011) examined possible differences in success rates of primary DCR with and without silicone intubation, and to find out whether the use of silicone tubes is beneficial. A literature search was conducted in the PubMed, EMBASE, and Cochrane Controlled Trials Register to identify potentially relevant controlled trials. Language was restricted to English. The surgical techniques were categorized into EXT-DCR, endonasal laser-assisted DCR (LA-DCR), and non-laser EN-DCR. The main outcome measure was success rates after DCR-with and DCR-without silicone intubation. The statistical analysis was carried out using a RevMan 5.0 software. Of 188 retrieved trials from the electronic database, 9 trials (5 RCTs and 4 cohort studies) involving 514 cases met the inclusion criteria. There was no statistically significant heterogeneity between the studies. The pooled RR was 0.99, with a 95 % CI: 0.91 to 1.08. There was no significant difference in the success rates between the DCR with and without silicone intubation (p = 0.81). Sensitivity analysis and subgroups analyses suggested that the result was comparatively reliable. The authors concluded that based on this meta-analysis that included 5 RCTs and 4 cohort studies, no benefit was found for silicone tube intubation in primary DCR. They stated that further well-organized, prospective, randomized studies involving larger patient numbers are needed.
In a prospective randomized study, Al-Qahtani (2012) compared the success rate between the use of silicone stent and no use of silicone stent in endoscopic DCR. Patients were allocated randomly for endoscopic DCR with or without stent. The data collection included age, sex, diagnosis, method, and duration of surgery. Patients were followed-up post-operatively at 1 week, 1 month, and then every 3 months for 1 year. During the period of the study a total of 173 cases of post-saccal stenosis underwent endoscopic DCR (67 males and 106 females). The mean age was 51.8 years (range of 18 to 72). A stent was used in 92 patients (53.2 %) and not used in 81 patients (46.8 %). With silicone tubing the success rate was 96 %, and without silicone tubing it was 91 %, an overall success rate of 94 %. The odds ratio (OR) of failure without a silicone tube was 3.25 but CI was from 0.84 to 12.60 and the difference between these 2 groups was not statistically significant (p = 0.117). The author concluded that in this study, there was no statistically significant advantage of using endoscopic DCR with stent over the endoscopic DCR without stent.
In a randomized clinical trial, Chong and colleagues (2013) studied the effect of bi-canalicular silicone intubation on endonasal endoscopic mechanical dacryocystorhinostomy (EEM-DCR) for primary acquired nasolacrimal duct obstruction (PANDO). A total of 120 consecutive adults (103 females) with a presenting age of 64 ± 13.7 years (range of 39 to 92) underwent EEM-DCR for PANDO from November 2005 to May 2009 in a lacrimal referral center. The EEM-DCR was performed by 2 lacrimal surgeons using standard techniques. Patients were randomly assigned to receive or not receive bi-canalicular silicone intubation for 8 weeks. No anti-metabolite was used. All patients received a course of oral antibiotics during non-absorbable nasal packing for flaps tamponade, which was removed at the first post-operative visit. Patients were assessed at 1, 3, 6, 12, 26, and 52 weeks after the operation. Surgical success was defined by symptomatic relief of epiphora, re-establishment of nasolacrimal drainage confirmed by irrigation by 1 masked observer, and positive functional endoscopic dye test by the operative surgeon at 12 months post-operatively. Intra-operative and post-operative complications were recorded. A total of 118 of the 120 randomized cases completed 12 months of follow-up. Two patients died of unrelated medical illnesses during follow-up. At 12 months post-operatively, there was no statistical difference in the success rate between patients with (96.3 %) and without (95.3 %) intubation (p = 0.79). The OR of failure without silicone intubation was 1.28 (95 % CI: 0.21 to 7.95). There was no difference in the incidence (p = 0.97) or the time to develop (p = 0.12) granulation tissue between the 2 groups. No significant difference was found between successful and failed cases in terms of age (p = 0.21), sex (p = 0.37), laterality (p = 0.46), mode of anesthesia (p = 0.14), surgeon (p = 0.26), use of stent (p = 0.79), or presence of granulation tissue postoperatively (p = 0.39). The authors concluded that the current study design provided 90 % statistical power to detect more than 21 % difference in surgical outcome, and no such difference was found whether intubation was used or not used in EEM-DCR for PANDO at the 12-month follow-up.
Ali and Naik (2014) reported the outcomes of endoscopic guided anterograde 3-mm balloon dacryoplasty with silicone intubation in patients with acquired partial nasolacrimal duct obstructions in adults. This retrospective case-series study included 21 eyes with partially obstructed nasolacrimal ducts of 12 patients. All the 21 ducts were initially probed and the probe confirmed with an endoscope in the inferior meatus. After confirming the presence of probe in the inferior meatus, a 3-mm balloon was used for dilating the distal and proximal portions of nasolacrimal duct, followed by stenting of ducts with Crawford tubes. Main outcome measures were anatomical patency of the passage and resolution of epiphora. Of the 12 patients, 9 had bilateral and 3 had unilateral acquired partial nasolacrimal duct obstructions. All the patients underwent bi-canalicular stenting under endoscopic guidance, which were retained for a period of 12 weeks. A minimum follow-up of 6 months following stent removal was considered for final analysis; 15 of the 21 ducts (71 %) were freely patent on irrigation, but 13 of the 21 (62 %) reported improvement of epiphora. Two nasolacrimal ducts showed similar partial regurgitation and partial patency on syringing as before with no improvement of symptoms. Four nasolacrimal ducts were completely obstructed with complete regurgitation of fluid on syringing with worsening of the epiphora. Two eyes persisted with symptoms of epiphora despite patent nasolacrimal duct with grade 2 dye retention on dye disappearance test. The authors concluded that 3-mm balloon dacryoplasty is an alternative and safe way to manage partial nasolacrimal duct obstructions with an anatomical success in 71 % and functional success in 62 % of the patients. Moreover, they stated that further studies with a large sample size and longer follow-up are needed to ascertain the long-term benefits.
Dotan et al (2015) studied predictors and implications on outcome of premature silicone tube-loss, a post-operative complication of mono-canalicular intubation (MCI) performed for treatment of congenital nasolacrimal duct obstruction (CNLDO). These researchers conducted a retrospective analysis of cases of post-operative loss of mono-canalicular silicone tubes occurring at one medical center from January 2007 to December 2013. During the study period, mono-canclicular silicone tubes were lost in 24/54 eyes (44 %) of 19/46 children. Multi-variate regression analysis identified bilateral intubation as an important predictor of early tube-loss (r = 0.54, p = 0.006); 7 of 8 (88 %) children who had both eyes intubated prematurely lost their tubes compared to 12/38 (32 %) children who had unilateral intubation (p = 0.005). Treatment success was lower in eyes with early tube-loss (17/24 eyes, 71 %) compared to eyes with full tube retention (25/30 eyes, 83 %), however this difference was not statistically significant (p = 0.333). In this study, treatment outcome correlated with duration of intubation (r = 0.51, p = 0.002). Surgical success was achieved in 33/39 eyes (85 %) in which the tubes were retained at least 2 months compared to 7/15 eyes (47 %) with shorter period of intubation (p = 0.012). The authors concluded that spontaneous tube-loss is a post-operative complication of mono-canalicular silicone intubation that can occur more frequently than previously reported in certain populations. Tube-loss occurring soon after surgery is often associated with persistent symptoms and increased need of re-operation.
Furthermore, an UpToDate review on "Nasolacrimal duct obstruction (dacryostenosis) in children" (Paysse et al, 2015) states that "Children who are older or have tight obstructions, anatomic abnormalities, or recurrence of obstruction after primary nasolacrimal duct probing may require the placement of a silicone stent or balloon dilation of the nasolacrimal duct (balloon dacryocystoplasty). Both of these procedures are performed with the child under general anesthesia. Stents usually are removed in the office after two to six months. Stents typically are not necessary with balloon dacryocystoplasty".

This poem reminds me of a song that I know called "The Dance of Fate" Not because of the words but because of what it's suppose to say.
Long, but beautiful.
Your writing never ceases to get better. It is apparent that your writing gets better each time.
You are truly a brilliant writer.
It reminds me of good times and a bit of Greek philosopher Socrates' dialogues. Quite interesting and the non punctuation about till the half of the poem, was that intentional, or just how it worked out?
Ah my friend. Those lovely words written with such care. A most beautiful poem.
I was really taken with this one. The descriptions and flow of the piece were enough to make me smile, but the words and their meaning made this poem. I think it was simply marvelous. Nice job. A pleasure my friend. Susan :)
Oh God!
This is one great poem indeed :)
Though it was long, but I loved it so much!
I can never write free style. This rocks!
Keep up the good work :)

My Bayou City Bulldogs is a show/breeder home of quality English and French
Bulldogs. I, Beth Williams, started showing in conformation in 2000 and to date have
owner handled or breeder/owner handled multiple bullies and frenchies to their
AKC Championship titles.
Here at my My Bayou City Bulldogs top priority is the health, conformation and temp-
erment of my bulldogs. I DO OFA TESTING. Careful planning and consideration is
given to each breeding far in advance to maintain these qualities.
I breed first and foremost for myself to hopefully get my next show prospect. Not
all puppies will have the qualities needed to compete in conformation shows so I do
from time to time have bully and frenchie puppies available to approved pet/
companion homes. These puppies are placed with spay/neuter contracts and limited
registration papers. If I have more than one show prospect in a litter I may consider
placement to a show home by private arrangement.

It's generally agreed upon that the ability to code is going to be an invaluable job skill for upcoming generations. So how do you teach preliterate children aged three to seven how to program without increasing their screen time? The answer is a wooden play kit called Cubetto.
Designed to unlock young children's creativity using a wooden robot, a programming board, and instruction blocks, Cubetto's groundbreaking system officially launches today.
The idea is ingenious. Instruction blocks are one of four colours, each representing a different programming command: red to move forward, blue to turn left, yellow to turn right, and green is the function key.
Inside the board is an Arduino-compatible circuit that can read the position of the block and transmit directions to a circuit inside Cubetto.
Children place the instruction blocks onto the board in a set order to determine how Cubetto, the robot, moves. Three reds in a row make the robot turn in a circle—left, left, then left again. The function key enables children to build up longer patterns. The aim is that skills are mastered gradually.
The inspiration for developing a tangible programming interface, according to Primo Toys cofounders Matteo Loglio and Filippo Yacob, came from Loglio's studies toward his master's degree in interaction design three years ago.
"The starting point was a challenge to help young children be creators not just consumers of technology," Yacob tells Co.Create. "The response was to digest programming and present it back to them in a physical format they could easily understand."
Programming is "a new literacy" and should be prioritized as such from an early age, he says. "Being introduced to the environment of programming, and the language of algorithms, debugging, and functions helps give them the foundations necessary to succeed in today's digital age."
The Cubetto play set is informed by hands-on learning principles borrowed from Montessori early-learning theories, and MIT's Logo, which was designed by Seymour Papert at MIT in 1960s as a way to teach children programming and find their own ways of solving problems.
Its design is inspired by traditional wooden preschool children's toys.
"During field research, initially in Switzerland but then in schools across 40 countries, it was clear kids from a young age are attracted to the challenges and tactile nature of wooden puzzles and jigsaws," says Yacob.
"So we set out to make this look and feel like other toys they already enjoy—familiar, nonthreatening, and instantly relatable."
The minimalist design is also a way to further foster children's imagination.
"Not only are we trying to teach a new language they can be creative with, Cubetto is designed to be a storytelling tool," he adds. "The robot character with a smiling face is intentionally left open as an 'it' for them to interpret as they choose, personalize as a character, and create their own stories around."
A series of play mats have been designed to prompt children to play with their robots in different imaginary landscapes—outer space, for example, or beneath the sea.
From the outset of Cubetto's development, the team wanted their design to be intuitive and easily understood by any child, irrespective of their language.
Subsequently, the team worked to make it even more inclusive through the specific shapes of its different components, tactile cues, and two-tone recognition pattern sounds that enable visually impaired children to learn to program, too.
Conceived and designed by Primo Toys with initial development funding through Kickstarter and backers including Randi Zuckerberg and Arduino cofounder Massimo Banzi, Cubetto was codeveloped for market with engineering and design firm PCH International.
Primo now plans to develop a range of toys designed to inspire children to explore the digital world around them.

Inequality and Determinants of Earnings in Malaysia, 1984-1997
Using three large nationally-representative Malaysian Household Income Surveys from 1984, 1989 and 1997, the present paper examines inequality and determinants of earnings. During the period 1984-1997, Malaysia's real per capita GDP increased by approximately 70percent, the participation rates for both men and women went up among all age groups, and the average number of years of schooling increased by 1.2years. There was a significant relative wage improvement among the bottom deciles. The rate of return to an additional year of schooling remained high (at 10percent), despite the huge increase in the supply of the highly educated. The stable overall rate, however, masks an increased rate of return on women's education, and a decreased rate for men. Wage discrimination against women amounts to 16-20percent, and the bias has increased in 1997. The pro-Chinese earning ethnic bias is estimated at 31percent.

Chancellor Angela Merkel's ruling conservatives were on course to form a grand coalition government.
Germany's left-of-centre Social Democrats voted in favour of joining a ruling alliance, in a nationwide ballot of the party's grassroots membership.
Germany's new coalition of conservative Christian Democrats and their traditional opponents is set to be sworn in early this week.
Sigmar Gabriel, the jubilant Social Democrat party leader who had staked his political future on a "yes" vote, described the outcome as a "celebration of internal party democracy".
The Social Democrats will be the junior partners. But they have already won concessions including the introduction of an €8.50 per hour minimum wage.
In a surprise development, the defence minister's post looks set to go for the first time to a woman – the conservative social affairs minister, Ursula von der Leyen, 55. She has also been tipped as a possible successor to Ms Merkel, should she step down in 2017.

"Do you think that it's wrong to be an artist?" Daniel Johnston breaks off tonight's all-star tribute to his artistry to ask us. It's a real question that must sometimes torture him, raised as he was by fundamentalist Christians in Texas.
There's a commandment against the sin of raising graven images, he reminds us. The countless songs he first hand-distributed on cassettes in the 1970s, which Kurt Cobain's fandom parlayed into a major label bidding war for his work in the 1990s, might just be godless vanity.
The shaking hands clutching his mic-stand like a mast in a terrible storm betray a more obvious suffering inseparable from his art. Johnston, 52, is bipolar and schizophrenic, once tossing the key from his loving father's plane in mid-air. The musician fans gathered for the first half of this show celebrating the thirtieth anniversary of his LP Hello, How Are You? offer the songs, not the sometimes suffering man.
The Wave Pictures' take on "Happy Soul" shows Johnston's directness, and deep well of depressed longing: "when I see my reflection in your eyes/ I know that I don't want to die." Teenage Fanclub's Norman Blake's steady strum on "The Story of an Artist" points up the repeated, trapped rhythms of a caged, forlorn soul; a crippling self-absorption which has been a honey-pot for indie musicians, though they lack Johnston's truly pathological source. Willy Mason, by contrast, finds lonesome Americana in Johnston, while Emmy the Great and Jeffrey Lewis separately get the first laughs. Once's impish Glen Hansard leads us in a finger-snapping chorus of "all my friends were vampires", before the man who believed that arrives.
Johnston starts with "The Beatles", immediately setting out the other side of this story. The Beatles and their comic-book equivalent, Jack Kirby, arrived in his 1960s childhood as miracles, making him determined to be the rock star who now stands here shaking but strong, backed by the sort of garage-folk-rock band (led by Lewis, with 1960s folk-rocker Peter Stampfel) he might once have dreamed of. "Silly Love" is stripped back to Johnston's voice, capable of expressive bursts and softening delicacy.
This is self-conscious, often defiantly hopeful art, whatever otherwise helpless place it came from. He finishes with "True Love Will Find You In The End". It's a brave thought from a singer-songwriter who, in following both disciplines, suppresses demons at every step.

The major objectives of this Sexually Transmitted Infections Co-operative Research Center (STI-CRC) entitled "Innate and Adaptive Immunity in Experimental and Human Gonococcal Infection in Women" are directed to providing a diverse and comprehensive understanding of the innate and adaptive immune mechanisms associated with gonococcal infection. We will emphasize basic host responses and innate immune mechanisms in infection with Neisseria gonorrhoeae with the immediate aim of improving understanding of gonococcal immunology and pathogenesis and a longer term goal to gain insights that will direct efforts to facilitate the prevention of gonococcal infections in humans, particularly women. We will use a promising animal model to examine these mechanisms and separately employ a generalized translational approach that will emphasize the links between immunobiology and clinical epidemiology to assess the potential of vaccine candidates in humans, which will then be investigated in the context of the humanized mouse model of infection. Five research projects and four service cores are proposed. In the first project (Douglas T Golenbock, MD, PL), we will address a basic and fundamental question in lipopolysaccharide (LPS, called lipooligosaccharide [LOS] in the case of N. gonorrhoeae) biology to understand the binding of LOS derived lipid A with its direct ligand that serves as an intermediary structure to activate and permit signaling of toll-like receptor (TLR)4. In Project 2 (Robin Ingalls, MD, PL), we will determine if naturally occurring mutations in gonococcal LOS or polymorphisms in the TLR4 adaptor Mai, account for differences in the host inflammatory response to infection. In Project 3 (Caroline A Genco, PhD, PL), we will examine the role that TLRs and cytosolic nucleotide oligomerization domain (NOD) protein receptors (NOD-like receptors [NLRs]) play as receptors for Neisseria ligands. In Project 4 (Sanjay Ram, MD, PL), we will examine novel roles for the alternative complement pathway (ACP) enhancing molecule. Properdin, in blocking TLR4 mediated signaling by LOS and separately, in amplifying potentially protective vaccine induced antibody function. In Project 5 (Peter A. Rice, MD), we will examine peptide mimics of gonococcal LOS as potential vaccine candidates in a humanized mouse model of gonococcal infection while also determining if natural antibodies against the candidates protect exposed women from gonococcal infection. The Center will have five Cores (Clinical, Laboratory, Animal Statistical, and administrative) providing support to 4 or 5 of the 5 Projects.
Gonorrhea is a common sexually transmitted infection worldwide. Women usually have few or no symptoms associated with infection, which often leads to delays in treatment and the development of complications such as pelvic inflammatory disease and infertility and increased likelihood of acquiring HIV infection. A better understanding of natural immunity to this pathogen will lead to treatments that can lessen the infectious complications and support the development of protective vaccine strategies.
