Well, I'm officially sick of school. If only I had the credits I needed, instead of just random credits that I got from taking classes before I transferred… well, then I'd be done.
The worst thing is I found out I have some finals on the weekend. Seriously, the weekend. I have two on Sunday!! What kind of crap is that?!
OK, well, onto the comic. The lighting is a little off, but it's supposed to be late afternoon, and I didn't actually get that down perfectly, but I'm really busy, so I'm doing the best I can. But I'm starting to think maybe I should start my own line of Kyle's strip club/bar shirts. Maybe. (No, just kidding actually)
Oh, and if people want to know Kyle's license plate reads CHKMGNT (translation: Chick Magnet). And no, it's not entirely a direct MxPx ripoff. I swear.
So anyway, enjoy and all that.

One of the most interesting talks I've attended so far during this year's Virus Bulletin conference was the one by Dmitry Samosseiko about the Russian "Partnerka".
The Partnerka is the complex network of affiliates who profit from spam and malware. Run like a multi-level marketing scheme, if you've ever received an email which points you to a "Canadian Pharmacy" website, you've met the Partnerka.
Dmitry's investigations are discussed on Paul Ducklin's blog – but one thing that jumped out at me in his talk was that there is a faction of the Partnerka (which Dmitry has dubbed the "codec-partnerka") which is dedicated to the sale and promotion of fake Mac software, designed to compromise your computer.
For instance, the website pictured above (which is no longer online – at least not currently) was recently offering $0.43 to its affiliates every time they managed to successfully install malware on users' Apple Mac computers. And to help their affiliates in this scheme, they offer dangerous malware posing as fake video players.
The growing evidence of financially-motivated criminals looking at Apple Macs as well as Windows as a market for their activities, is not good news. Especially as so many Mac users currently have no anti-malware protection in place at all.

A team of European researchers has developed an endoscopic microscope to visualize bacteria in the gut associated with inflammatory bowel disease. The researchers tagged bacteria with enhanced green fluorescent protein and used the Confocal Laser Endomicroscope (CLE) to image fluorescence in vivo in live mice.
From the study abstract in Gut:
Methods Initially, E coli strains expressing enhanced green fluorescent protein (pEGFP) were endomicroscopically imaged in mice. In addition, ex vivo and in vivo imaging of fluorescent human enteric bacteria was performed to specify the distinct endomicroscopic appearance of enteral bacteria. Targeted mucosal biopsies towards endomicroscopic identifiable intramucosal bacteria and negative mucosal areas were prospectively obtained during colonoscopy and correlated with bench-top fluorescence microscopy (FISH) to prove the endomicroscopic visualisation of intramucosal bacteria. Finally, a retrospective analysis as well as a prospective study was performed in patients with UC and CD to confirm the presence and distribution of intramucosal bacteria within the gut.
Results Confocal endomicroscopy was able to identify intramucosal pEGFP E coli in mice and strains of enteric microflora in the mucosa of humans. Using FISH as the gold standard, evaluation of 21 patients showed that CLE had a sensitivity of 89% and specificity of 100% to identify intramucosal bacteria. In a retrospective study, 113 patients with CD and UC had intramucosal bacteria significantly more often than 50 control patients (66% vs 60% vs 14%, p<0.001). This result was confirmed in a prospective study in which 10 patients with CD and 10 with UC had a significantly wider distribution of involvement with intramucosal bacteria in the colon and terminal ileum compared with 10 controls (85.2% vs 75.9% vs 16.8%, p<0.0001).

Men and women in thick furs, medieval cobble stones tucked under snow and a warm glow from nearby window shops. Plus, you're freezing your butt off. Welcome to winter in Tallinn, capital of Estonia! With its 100th independence anniversary in 2018 growing near, it's one of Europe's youngest capitals. Tallinn is defined by a rich mix of culture, architecture and influences from all over Europe. That's because Estonia was invaded by the Danish, Swedes, Germans, Soviet and Polish – and all of them left some some of their culture behind. The sum of all these pieces is the Tallinn you see today: a vibrant, modern city rooted in colorful tradition. At the same time, Tallinn has become a real powerhouse for technology, giving birth to global players like Skype and TransferWise. How does that fit together?
Start Ups
In digital Estonia, everyone's always on the hunt for the next big idea. Every 2 weeks IT experts, designers and developers share their knowledge on extensive hackathons. Within 48 hours new ideas are born, pitched to investors and could land heavy financing. Then there's digital infrastructure. Internet-access is a fundamental right and Wi-Fi coverage is more comprehensive than in most European countries. Your next start-up is just mouse-clicks away. The big idols "made in Estonia" are Skype and TransferWise. Skype was paid to Microsoft for a whopping 8.5 billion dollars, TransferWise was named Europe's start up of the year in 2013. And all that comes from a country with a little more than a million residents – 430.000 of them in Tallinn.
Kalamaja translates to "fish house". The eye-catching neighborhood just outside Old Town was mostly inhabited by fishermen until factories started sprouting up during the industrial revolution. To house the influx of workers, Kalamaja was turned into a sea of wooden houses. Now, 150 years later, Kalamaja is quickly turning into a bohemian stronghold for young creatives. At its heart lies Telliskivi with its integrated restaurant-cafes, art expos, antique shops, flea markets, theatres and clubs. The best place to start exploring is Telliskivi Creative City – an array of old factory buildings turned into hangout for gourmets and music lovers.
Old Town
Cobblestone, gothic spires and Wi-Fi: Old Town is a must-visit for everyone interested in history and architecture. It's the perfect mix of culture and historic ambience, and at the same time all of the small cafés and eateries offer Wi-Fi (as everywhere in Estonia). The great thing about Old Town: it's tiny. You can easily explore amazing sights like the Town Hall, city wall and and Holy Spirit Church by foot without breaking a sweat.
City Center
The real contrast waits in the city center. Medieval churches, nestled between high rises and stylish design buildings, remind of past times while Tallinn's modern mindset becomes visible all around. Tallinn's official center point is Rotermann Quarter – a meeting point of three roads. The rebuilt area is bustling with restaurants, cafes, boutiques and design houses, but also company offices and residential apartments. The real highlight for any hungry traveler: the food street with amazing treats like Flamm (Flammenkuchen), Røst for coffee and bakery, and gorgeous R14 for great wines and tasty eats.
Pirita is the place to go when you're visiting Tallinn in summer. It boasts a beautiful beach, a yacht harbour and even an adventure park. Though it's not far from the city center, you'll discover idyllic nature and perfect conditions for an easy Sunday trip with canoes and water bicycles. Further inland you'll find the TV Tower, Estonia's highest rise. It boasts spectacular views and is just a stone's throw from Tallinn's Botanical garden.
Patkuli & Kohtuotsa Viewing Platform
Tallinn is beautiful from every angle. But from Patkuli platform, it's spectacular. With the town wall's picturesque red-tiled towers and it's perfect views over the harbor and church area, you're just waiting for the Disney jingle to play. Kohtoutsa Platform offers a panorama of the Old Town's rooftops with the city's highrises towering in the background and is probably the city's most popular photo spot.
An elegant park within walking distance of old town, Kadriorg's cornerstone was laid by Tsar Peter the Great when he established an estate with a public park. It's locals favourite place for a stroll.
Kumu Art Museum
By far the nation's largest and most cutting-edge art museum, Kumu displays Estonian-created works from the18th-21st centuries. The building is a modern architectural masterpiece, curved with sharp edges.
Master's Courtyard
Home to the master craftsmen of Old Town, this courtyard invites visitors to shop handicrafts, jewelry and confections by Chocolaterie Cafe.
Katariina käik
This half-hidden way ranks among the most picturesque of Old Town's lanes. You'll find St. Catherine's Guild's workshops hidden in the lane, where artists use traditional methods to create glassware, quilts, ceramics and other wares.
Balti Jaama Turg
A hybrid of traditional food market, food hall, street food and gourmet shops, Balti Jaama Turg is an absolute food heaven. If you decide to stay for food- check Mealover Butchery & chef for top-notch steaks and meat dishes. This market is the perfect kick-off to explore the cool area of Telliskivi City.
Salt (top pick)
A lovely corner bistro with an even lovelier owner – Tiina Treumann. Send our regards, but be sure to book in advance – it's usually very crowded.
Mon Repos
Chef Vladislav Djatsuk is famous for his Russian Tchaikovsky restaurant. It was crowned best restaurant in Estonia numerous times, and now Vladislav is back with his new restaurant: Mon Repos. He says this is the place where he cook what he really likes.
An eclectic mix of fashion shop and restaurant. The food is good, but not spectacular. What really stands out is the humming atmosphere and stylish interior.
Tchaikovsky celebrates the fusion of French and Russian cuisine. Extra: it comes with a lush summer terrace.
Tuljak's menu includes large sandwiches, Baltic herring in tomato sauce and cognac-flavoured cakes in a contemporary make-over

Tallinn isn't very big – but the density of bars and clubs isn't lacking. In fact, Tallinn offers a surprisingly high amount of nightlife venues. Are all Tallinners hopeless hedonists? Dive into the thriving nightlife and find out. A whole array of electro, funk and rock clubs is waiting to be discovered.
F-hoone (top pick!)
Located in a 100-year old remodeled fabric building, F-hoone ist a culinary hotspot for young gourmets and bar lovers. With its high ceilings, rough brick walls and graffitis on the outside, F-hoone feels like it could be located in the trendy part of Kreuzberg rather than Estonia.
Pudel bar
Pudel Baar probably has the most honest name – it translates to "bottle bar". Not exactly very creative, but then, Pudel offers a fine selection of those bottles. Tucked away in Telliskivi Creative City, you'll find 10 ales on tap and more than 200 beer bottles from around the globe.
Clayhills Gastropub
Clayhills sits in the heart of Old Town and offers an excellent selection of local and imported beers in a heart-warming atmosphere. Bonus: there's a large outdoor terrace ideal for cool drinks on hot days.
Cafe Maiasmokk
Tallinn's oldest cafe still boasts a pre-war interior. They offer a variety of pastries, fresh coffee and an inhouse marzipan museum.
It's a bit of a tourist catch, but still worth the visit: Draakon is a medieval theme bar built into the historic Town Hall. Waitresses wear costumes and you get to sip on traditional ale and Estonian schnapps.
Hollywood (top pick)
Hollywood is a melting pot for Tallinn's party owls – no matter if tourist, youngster or youngster at heart. It boasts Estonia's biggest video screen, so expect mind boggling visuals to complement both local and international DJs. Their sound system ranks among the best in Tallinn, with fat basslines punching you and the rest of the crowd to nirvana. 10/10 will come back!
Venus is living up to Tallinn's party spirit – in summer it's opened 7 days a week. They rank among the most popular clubs in Tallinn, especially for older audiences. People below 21 don't get in as a rule and the parties go well beyond the first rays of morning sun.
Located next to Freedom Square, Privé is a club that's paying close attention to musical detail. The owners make sure to select DJs and acts who play to the crowd and know how to rock a dancefloor with style.
Vabank is the poshest of the posh clubs in Tallinn – make sure to dress up properly. It's the place to see and be seen, to shake your assets and impress the show business' elite dancing around you. The 3 floors range from disco to pop and R'n'B
Club Studio
Club Studio is a trendy club that's always crowded, so make sure to come early if you don't want to spend half of the party standing in queue. The music concept: mainstream beats get mashed up with electronic beats to create real dancefloor blasters.
Telegraaf Hotel (top pick!)
Telegraaf is just 100 steps from Old Town's medieval square – its location couldn't be much better. With 84 rooms it's relatively large, but its contemporary design and spacious interior create the feeling of a small boutique hotel in the heart of Tallinn. It's also the only hotel in Old Town with spa facilities – a place that pampers you.
Three Sisters Hotel
Located within the 16th century walls of Tallinn's fabled Old Town, The Three Sisters Hotel enables you to explore the crevices of Old Hansa without sacrificing style, convenience and luxury. Its original building was one of the most famous medieval merchant house, originally built in 1362.
Savoy Boutique Hotel

The Centennial
A great brand new 4-star hotel in the centre of Tallinn, 5-10 min's walk from the Old Town. The interior is Nordic minimalist and Estonia's centennial anniversary is reflected in the artistic design of the hotel featuring the main periods in the history of Estonia over the last 100 years.
Haapsalu is a calm town with narrow streets and romantic wooden houses just 2 hours from the capital. With the first spa opened in 1825, it enjoys a long history as a spa resort.

In the pharmaceutical industry, we notice a growing need for high mix–low volume production (HMLV). HMVL means that medication and medical devices are presented to the patient more and more personalized (thus targeted): multiple medical products are combined in small quantities.
For the packaging process, this means adapting to new requirements. The process has to be 100 percent reliable and must be fitted with a balanced degree of automation. Especially biomedical producers face these questions. The graph below shows the expected exponential growth of the demand for smaller batches at biomedical companies.
Predicted trend at a biomedical company: the growth of batch sizes compared to the number of orders
To ensure a 100 percent reliable HMLV-packaging process, we have to look further than just machines. Here, logistics, processes and costs also play a relevant part. With this article, we will clarify some considerations.
In manufacturing and packing of small batches, flows of goods and quality checks must be carefully arranged from the start. If not, operators will spend a lot of time checking products and errors will occur easily.
A code is connected with each batch of products, and access to these products is allowed only to those using this code, ensuring no 'mix-up' will take place. Each step in the process uses the same code for the same batch. Once the batch is completed, a new batch with its own code can be processed. This way, batches will never be in the same room at the same time. By applying this thorough process, operators will only have access to the products they need for a specific batch. Other products, not related to that batch, will be inaccessible at that time. That's what we call 'Good Manufacturing Practice' (GMP).
The flow of the components is made very clear by applying this approach. Most errors are usually made by operators and at change-overs of machines. These are both prevented with a clear method and routing. A clear logistical plan is essential with HMLV.
Processes of a high speed machine that already have been fully validated and equipped, can be fully adopted into the design of a HMLV machine. Any vision check can be built in and any security measure can be incorporated into the HMLV machine. A feature like for example, when a high speed machine cannot remove anything after a syringe is added to a product, but instructions still have to be added, can also be installed on the HMLV machine.
This process is organized in such a way that 100 percent reliability is guaranteed, despite working with operators and upping the number of changeovers of the machine. With HMLV, it is all about adopting existing techniques and safety of the original high speed production line and translating these into manual or low-speed production, while still meeting the same requirements for quality, safety and validation.
We translate the techniques of a high speed production line to a manual or low speed machine. High flexibility is ensured with easily exchangeable molds and tools. The parts are designed poka yoke and can be interchanged quickly. Where operators are active, avoiding human errors and safety are of utmost importance.
In the machine builing industry, co-bots or collaborative robots, have been around for many years. These robots replace human action in a safe manner, without requiring any screens of fences around machines. Robots will automatically stop upon touch, preventing anyone getting hurt. GTE-engineering applies this principle to the construction of HMLV machines. Speed is often less important than the interaction with an operator. The operator has to be able to produce or package products easily and safely. We can achieve safety by using low powered HMLV machines. They only use the necessary (low) amount of energy, not posing any danger to operators. Fencing is made obsolete. An example of such a HMLV machine can be found at https://www.gte-engineering.nl/en/projects/the-small-box-erector/.
When does setting up a HMLV environment for smaller numbers of batches become more interesting than producing those batchs on a high speed line? The answer lies within the cost and time required. When looking at required time, the diagram below shows that HMLV machines and processes are more interesting for batches just over 1,000 pieces.
But when manufacturing smaller batches on a automated high speed production line, the machine has to be stationary for 7 hours because of change-overs, leaving only one hour for actual production time.
When looking at costs, take into account:
The graph below shows production costs for a HMLV line are lower than a high speed line for batches up to 2,800 pieces. With bigger batches, the high speed line becomes more interesting. These calculations can easily be made for each product and HMLV machine or HMLV process, offering medical companies better insights into production time and costs. Based on these two elements, decisions can be made.
The production of a biomedical product, based on the costs of an operator, the machine and required floor space.
For many companies, now is the time to study the trend of high mix – low volume, given the exponential growth of batches with small numbers in the coming years. High speed production lines are not efficient for smaller batches because of time needed for changeovers. This is especially true when dealing with a large variety of batches. By optimizing the HMLV production, the transformation to high mix – low volume, can proceed smoothly.

Using your hands to perform tasks in specific ways can change the way you see things near your hands, according to new research published in Psychological Science, a journal of the Association for Psychological Science. The research shows that learning to grasp an object with the backs of the hands made participants more sensitive to motion near their hands, while learning a to pick up an object with their fingertips enhanced participants' perception of spatial detail near their hands.
"These results support the idea that vision is, in a sense, tuned for action," says psychological scientist Laura Thomas of North Dakota State University, author of the study. "This evidence suggests that people experience flexible visual biases when viewing information within reach that may aid the actions they are prepared to take."
Previous studies have indicated that our visual biases – the visual information we're attuned to at a given time – may adapt to the immediate context. When participants in one study adopted a power-grasp posture, they showed greater sensitivity to motion-related information that would allow them to make a quick and forceful grab. When the participants adopted a precision-grasp posture, they were more sensitive to detailed spatial information that would help them manipulate something small.
These findings suggest that the visual system prioritizes processing information that is relevant to the actions we are likely to take, allowing us to be more effective power or precision graspers, depending on the situation.
Thomas wondered whether a short-term training experience might be sufficient to induce these action-oriented visual biases. To find out, she conducted two experiments in which participants learned to use their hands in new ways to pick up objects.
In the first experiment, 60 student participants completed two visual perception tasks, as their hands either rested on the display or in their laps. In one task, they saw a group of moving dots–some of which moved in the same direction–and had to indicate the direction in which the dots appeared to be moving. In the other task, they saw another group of stationary dots–some of which were arranged in a particular spatial pattern–and had to say whether the dots appeared in a radial or concentric spatial pattern.
The participants then practiced a new type of power grasp, using the backs of their hands to pick up and move a plunger.
After this training, the participants completed the two visual perception tasks again.
In the second experiment, another group of 60 student participants followed the same procedure – this time, they learned a new type of precision grasp, using the tips of their little fingers to pick up and move one bean.
The results of the two experiments showed that potential action seemed to drive the way the participants processed visual information, but only when that information was near their hands.
Participants were better at identifying the direction in which the dots were shifting after learning the back-of-the-hands power grasp, but only when their hands were near the display.
And they were more accurate in identifying the spatial pattern of dots after learning the finger-tips precision grasp – again, only when their hands were near the display.
Together, these findings suggest that our visual system flexibly adapts to recent experiences, allowing us to take action in effective and appropriate ways.
Thomas is planning further research to examine this phenomenon, investigating whether the kinds of visual biases she has observed in lab-based tasks also emerge when people look at and interact with everyday objects.
"The more we learn about how visual processing biases near the hands operate, the more potential we have to make recommendations about how to best present information on handheld devices, like smartphones and tablets, to meet users' information processing goals," she says.

Here's what Daniel had to say:
Ice Cube is in Friday with Bernie Mac. Bernie Mac is in Ocean's Eleven with Elliot Gould. Elliot Gould is in Ingmar Bergman's The Touch with Max von Sydow. Von Sydow is in Awakenings with an uncredited Vin Diesel.
Bish bash bosh.
Well played Daniel!
As anyone can see, using the XXX movies just wasn't going to cut it last week. The leader board as of today:

Dave Umbricht is a self proclaimed "guy who knows a couple of things". However, he has never claimed to know them well. Genetically predisposed to love movies, at age ten he felt really cool being the only fourth grader who knew of the film "My Dinner with Andre", thanks to Siskel & Ebert. For the next twenty years he pretended to have seen the movie until he finally watched it at age 28 and understood what all the fuss was about. He attempted to watch all of the films on Ebert's Great Movies list by age 40. He failed.

Have you been keeping up with the evolution of positive body image awareness in yoga? The love your body message has made it all the way to the pages and the cover of what many of us might have considered to be the antithesis of body positivity before now: Yoga Journal. But the folks at YJ, with their rebranding and the magazine's own image "refreshing" are making an effort, especially recently, with their (albeit ill-fated) "Love Your Curves" article from the September 2014 issue, and the newest issue, also known as their "Body Issue," with Kathryn Budig gracing the cover and an article touching on the serious matter of eating disorders. Recognize, this is most likely not something we'd expect to find in the YJ we've all come to know, though it's probably something we'd have found in the magazine when it was first started back in 1975. Somewhere along the way they fell into a spin cycle of yoga fluff and tired uniformity.
But that could all change. It's baby steps, but at least there's potential. According to a press release about the rebranding, Editor in Chief Carin Gorrell et. al will be "a part of the more difficult conversations that are happening within our community, such as addressing body-image issues and related concerns like eating disorders."
"The yoga community is growing and becoming more diverse daily, and with that growth, their needs and desires are evolving," says Gorrell. "We want to better reflect and serve that community by delivering on their call for a more welcoming, inclusive voice, more-accessible instruction that meets them wherever they are on the mat, and more timely news and trends. This also means being a part of the more difficult conversations that are happening within our community, such as addressing body-image issues and related concerns like eating disorders, as we do in the October issue. That said, we continue to remain dedicated to honoring the traditions of yoga and maintaining the authority and authenticity of our almost 40-year-old brand."
For those of you who have seen the cover of the October issue and were not impressed, perhaps you're not entirely sold on their new mission to be more inclusive and accessible. Carol Horton, yoga blogger and author of "Yoga Ph.D.: Integrating the Life of the Mind & the Wisdom of the Body," wasn't exactly convinced herself, sharing that she found the issue to be "both encouraging and disturbing," while also explaining why it's something worth caring about. She writes via her blog:
According to their recent press release, YJ has "2 million print readers, 1 million unique Web users, 1.2 million Facebook fans, half a million newsletter subscribers, and 11 international editions," making it "the number-one, leading yoga media brand in the world." That's a wide reach, and a lot of media influence. I care about what Yoga Journal does because I care about how yoga is being taught in the world – and magazines, web platforms, and social media are powerful ways in which people transmit ideas and information and, for better or worse, learn about yoga today.
…Of course, insofar as the "rebranding" brings such literally life-threatening problems to light, it's important and good, regardless of how disturbing the news it communicates may be. But here's the twister: While the "Body Issue" frankly acknowledges that there's a huge shadow side to yoga today, it does so in a context that in many ways perpetuates the very same problems it's critiquing.
The "Body Issue's" unacknowledged internal contradictions makes reading it a strangely contradictory experience: encouraging for the many positive steps it makes toward developing a more healthy and inclusive practice, and disturbing for the dysfunctional silences surrounding content that's part of the very same set of problems being critiqued.
Horton goes on to point out, in a full critique of the issue, the jarring juxtaposition of progressive content, like an excerpt from the forthcoming Yoga and Body Image: 25 Personal Stories About Beauty, Bravery & Loving Your Body by Dianne Bondy, a self-described "fat, black yoga teacher," and a quote from Kate McIntyre Clere, director of "Yogawoman," about how she wants to raise her daughter to be free from body image issues by "bringing a conscious and critical eye to the media, challenging the capitalist business model," which appears directly next to the full-page Toesox ad with the now-famous naked image of cover model Kathryn Budig. "Particularly given the larger context of the magazine itself," says Horton, "the messages that these two images communicate directly contradict each other. Are we not supposed to notice this?" she asks, only half rhetorically.
Anyone who knows modern media, has watched it, read it, worked in it, spent time creating it, understands the conflict faced when it comes to an ad-supported business model. But what happens when the original message gets muddled and marred by its own sponsors?
Horton establishes balance in her critique by commending YJ for taking risks and sharing "nonfluffy" articles, but to us, at this point, we feel content like this is a no brainer, and, quite frankly, necessary. Ignoring the growing concern and awareness over the lack of diversity in yoga culture is just plain dumb, and not in the best interest of a publication wishing to succeed in today's increasingly conscious yoga community. You can only pull the sweat-wicking wool over our eyes for so long.
But it's not only YJ editors, though they do seem to be the enablers in this situation. Horton makes the distinction between being an advocate for healthy body image and capitalizing on it when it's the hot buzz topic of the moment, taking on mixed messages conveyed by the likes of today's popular faces of yoga, such as Kathryn Budig and Tara Stiles, though it's a comment made to the general yogapop culture.
I don't believe the yogalebrities can have their cake and eat it too, capitalizing on the idealized "yoga body" one day and advocating for healthy body imagery the next. If such mixed messaging continues unchecked, this pattern is simply going to produce a new round of confusion, dysfunction, and denial in the yoga community, which already has a history of serious problems on all counts.
And maybe that's the underlying problem. Yoga Journal can't have its cake and eat it, either. If they're going to make a real shift, real change, real "rebranding" they need to take a look at the entire magazine, dig between the pages, and not just pat themselves on the back for the popular of-the-moment cover stories.
If you're interested in body positivity in yoga, the Yoga and Body Image Coalition is on a mission to create a safe space for bodies of all types and promote yoga that is accessible, body positive and reflects the full range of human diversity. Learn more about them here.

Leverage Legacy Systems With APIs and Microservices
Legacy enterprises accelerate new innovations without changing their backend systems.
Join the DZone community and get the full member experience.Join For Free
Great catching up with Zeev Avidan, Chief Product Officer, OpenLegacy on the heels of them closing a $30 million funding round and launching version 4.2 of their API integration and management platform.
To date, OpenLegacy has earned their stripes by enabling financial services and insurance companies with significant legacy infrastructure to leverage existing systems and avoid or mitigate the risk of costly migration and modernization projects.
Most of OpenLegacy's clients are already engaged in some level of transformation. They are typically using several technologies and vendors offering cloud and microservices but find the need to merge core legacy systems gets bogged down due to a lack of tools with the ability to fully integrate legacy applications.
OpenLegacy enables the connection of systems with microservices to deploy to production in a few days versus a few months. Their approach, which is not middleware or service-oriented architecture, is native to the world of microservices and introduces automation with a simplicity of architecture to do it quickly with agility and velocity consistent with a software factory and modern software architecture.
What do you mean when you say, "jumping middleware?"
One of the challenges we see organizations struggling with is trying to solve the hybrid integration problem, not just the cloud, but cloud to on-prem, or on-prem to on-prem. They're trying to solve it with the same kind of middleware, and those middleware are large pieces of software that really try to do everything, and they will do 1,000 things very well. But then you will try to do the 1,001st thing, then you will get stuck. This has been a problem with the integration for two decades now.
If you are already distributing your software architecture, why not also distribute your middleware or distribute your integration? That is exactly what we do. In technical terms, each microservice would have embedded in it the entirety of the integration stack, so that it can be deployed together. And it will be done in a way that's not too cumbersome, very scalable, very lightweight, and also automatically regenerated. So that gives you basically a non-middleware approach to integration where you can have a transaction on a mainframe or stored procedure on a database, not only exposed as an API but also enhanced with additional functionality and doing so with agility. So if you need to make additional changes, you make them without worrying about the kind of a house of cards factor and the coupling that goes with a monolithic application. So you get the best out of both worlds -- the agility of microservices, you get the velocity of them, but you're not paying the price, time, or risk of downtime for a migration.
What do developers, engineers, and architects need to know about OpenLegacy 4.2?
Our implementers are not legacy skills people, they don't need to know Cobol, mainframes, AS/400, or any other kind of backend. They're going to love that the artifacts that get created as a deployable unit are 100% standard Java artifacts. In order to test, to version, and do all those things, you just use whatever is available on the Java ecosystem. It's very easy for developers. The skills are transferable, and you can do everything in a very standard way. We integrate into any kind of DevOps pipeline. Developers work with known Java frameworks, like Spring, Spring Boot, and Spring Cloud. You don't have to be an expert on open legacy, you just need to have a good Java foundation in order to do the most complex things. And, you can do the most simple things without knowing Java.
Everything is standard Java code. We follow the code first approach so everything is based on the code. There is no additional metadata hidden somewhere. If you change the code, the graphical user interface will reflect it. If you are a coder, you can be very comfortable working with that. Basically, what you're doing is building Java SDKs on top of legacy systems to bring them all to a level of abstraction where you are just dealing with Java objects. You don't need to concern yourself with the integration because that was done automatically for you. This gives you great efficiency and standardizes your different backends into one place where you can do everything very easily. The approach and also complete adherence and compatibility with a modern microservices architecture means you have the flexibility to customize it in a way that supports any kind of runtime environment that supports Java.
Do you have a use case you would like to highlight?
An interesting use case is Fern Expo. They organize events and provide trade show services for large companies like Google, Samsung, and Lego. One of the challenges they have is managing the logistics for thousands of exhibitors and trade shows that require tracking hundreds of thousands of exhibitor shipments in and out of the event.
In order to be excellent in their execution, Fern established a lot of manual processes over their 110-year history. However, they faced challenges when it came to connecting modern devices to their legacy AS/400 system. They wanted to enable remote access to their legacy data via a mobile web app from the trade show floor.
Our platform helped them expose and extend the AS/400 applications as REST APIs so exhibitors and event staff could have real-time information about shipment locations on their mobile devices from the event floor. They are now able to scan and record the shipment with a mobile app, photograph it, and automatically notify the exhibitor on the status of their freight using email or SMS.
Everything was deployed in less than a month. The bulk of the time was spent defining parameters that make up the inputs and outputs from the AS/400 and training on the new system. Fern developers were able to create and implement the API in just one hour. Previously, this kind of project would have taken six months. This kind of efficiency is very important to them.
What does the future hold for OpenLegacy?
Looking forward, we're doubling down on making the process of integrating with the DevOps pipeline even easier. We will always provide an opinionated platform with best practices, but it will be completely customizable. You will have a DevOps pipeline process pre-built in, and you can customize it whichever way you want so deployment, testing, versioning will be much easier for you and will fit with your process.
Opinions expressed by DZone contributors are their own.

Thinking of Getting Microblading? Here's What You Need to Know.
*This is a guest post*
Full, thick brows are all the rage right now and if you're feeling jealous of Cara Delevingne's statement eyebrows, you might be thinking about having a microblading treatment done. Microblading is a form of semi-permanent tattoo which fills in any gaps in your brows leaving them looking thick, full and perfectly formed every day. Microblading is certainly worth it if you feel like you're spending more time than you'd like every morning pencilling in your brows. But, is it safe? As with any procedure, there are certain risks to be aware of and precautions that you should take to make sure that you minimize the risk of any complications.
#1. Choosing a Salon:
Bear in mind that if your brows aren't done properly by a reputable professional, you will need to have them redone. It's likely that you'll need to wait around eight to twelve months before you can rework them, depending on what went wrong. So, it's a wise idea to spend some time doing your research before you make a decision on who you're trusting with your brows. Go by recommendations from people that you trust, or if you don't know anybody who's had microblading done, look for strong online reviews on social media and third-party review sites. It's also advisable to visit prospective salons before you decide to learn more about the process and ask about the materials that they use. A reputable professional will always use top-grade eyebrow microblading supplies from companies such as Ink Defined, and they will be happy to share more information about them with you. The Ink Defined website also has plenty of useful articles that can be worth reading before going ahead with microblading treatment, such as where to find the top studios and essential aftercare tips, which leads us onto our next point.
#2. Be Ready for Aftercare:
Microblading is getting more popular, but don't forget that it's still a tattoo. Because of this, there is no guarantee that you can 100% remove brows that go wrong. And, severe reactions are possible. To keep your risks low, you should care for your new microbladed brows in the same way that you would any wound. Use antiseptic ointments to minimize the risk of infection. Speak to the beauty therapist if you have a history of allergies to previous tattoos or hair dyes, as it may not be advisable for you to have microblading done if this is the case.
#3. You'll Need Touch Ups:
Micro-blading may be a tattoo, but you won't have the same results as you did at the beginning forever. After you've healed from your first procedure, it's likely that you'll need to go back to the salon for a touch up in a few months' time. Many salons will include a touch-up in their initial fee, but some don't. So along with budgeting for the procedure itself, don't forget to put some money aside for your touch-up too. Prices range from around $200-500.
#4. It's Not an Overnight Fix:
Lastly, don't expect to walk out of the salon with perfect brows. You'll likely experience some swelling and redness, and your skin may be flaky for the first few days or weeks afterwards. And, your brows will look unflatteringly dark and thick right after the procedure, but this will eventually fade. So, if you're planning to get microblading done for a special occasion, it's wise to have it done a few weeks before to allow yourself to heal.

A Quick Guide To Hair Extensions: What To Know—Part 1
It's Friday night, and you've just come home from work to get ready for a girls' night out. You have your clothes laid out, paired with the perfect shoes to complete the look. After donning it all you gather up your makeup kit and pat away, working until you've perfected securing your eyelash extensions. You look in the mirror and like what you see, but something remains missing. You look a little longer and then it clicks—your hair lacks the charm it needs.
Whether you wish to sport waist-length hair or mermaid waves, the perfect solutions come in small packaging—hair extensions. Although a quick dash to the boutique will arm you with the product, it's important to pay attention to what you purchase.
Not all extensions are made equally, and you may end up working with glue-damaged pieces that look completely horrible, to say the least. Proper guidance is necessary as you plunge into the world of hair extensions, and this is exactly what we offer you.
We've come up with a mini-series on hair extensions, which will serve as your ultimate guide. Today, we dive into the foundations and ask—why do people choose to get hair extensions? There are several reasons:
Reason #1: You want to switch up the length of your hair
More often than not, people who turn to hair extensions are suffering from hair loss. Others find it difficult to grow out their natural, leaving them at a dead end. Thanks to hair extensions, however, achieving long hair is made possible once more. It's also the perfect choice for a botched haircut—taking hats and bandanas out of the question for good!
Reason #2: You want to play with colors
Playing around with hair colors is always a welcome option, but too much of it can potentially damage your natural hair. Others simply cannot commit to a single color, making hair extensions the perfect solution. You can achieve a variety of styles, including highlights, lowlights, ombre, and even the funky rainbow hair! You can be experimental as you want—no risks involved.
Reason #3: You want to add volume
Apart from hair loss and damage, thinning hair is also a common problem. There will be a tremendous loss of volume, making your locks look even duller. With the help of the right hair extensions, however, you can easily add volume to your natural hair. They're perfect as a quick fix, especially during special occasions, gatherings, or simply a night out with friends.
Reason #4: You want to enjoy styling without the risk of damaging your hair
Apart from colors, many individuals also enjoy playing around with their hair. They twist and curl and iron, making sure that the style blends perfectly with their outfits. However, the use of too many products can also end up damaging your hair. Thanks to hair extensions, however, you'll be able to style endlessly, all without affecting the hair's health and growth process.
The Bottom Line
Hair clips can be enjoyed by just about anyone, including men. They're compatible with various ethnicities, gender, and age. They come in a variety of colors, sizes, lengths, and forms, and it's up to you which one will best suit your needs.
Regardless of your choice, however, it always pays to enlist the help of professionals. In doing so, you'll have a full scope of how hair extensions can fully benefit you. Watch out for part two of our series!
For the best hair extensions in Ontario, GT Hair Boutique has you covered. We specialize in supplying our clients with premium quality human hair extensions, ensuring that they remain confident—every single time. We'll also install your extensions for you—get in touch with us today!

by Zoë Sharp
This week, besides getting some much needed construction work done on the garage – smashing out old window frames out with a brick bolster and a lump hammer is so therapeutic – I've been Outlining.
Producing an outline for a book not yet written is a contentious point with writers. Some people sneer at the very idea that you can plan a book in any kind of detail before you start. It ruins the spontaneity, they reckon, makes it dull and staid. After all, what's the point of writing the book if you already know everything that happens?
Well, I'm one of these people for whom knowing the end of the story doesn't spoil it for me. In fact, I often enjoy a book or a movie more the second time around, when I'm not worrying about what comes next and I can simply enjoy the ride.
And agents and publishers these days like to have an idea of what they're getting, in advance. Beyond anything else, the basic synopsis gives them – and therefore me – a good idea of whether the underlying idea appeals to them or not. If it doesn't, then I'm fighting a losing battle before I put the first word on screen.
With the latest Charlie Fox novel delivered, I'm in the thumb-twiddling and nail-biting period, so the best way to distract myself is to plan the next one. Obviously, in a series there are a lot of factors that are carried over from the last book. Particularly in a series where the main character develops from book to book, rather than remaining static. Up to now, I've tried very hard to keep each story independent – so the books can be read out of sequence without problem.
But, inevitably, this has had to change. This time, there is a lot of carry-over from the events of the last book. And by that I don't mean I left the main plot hanging. There was a satisfactory resolution on that front, but it was the personal story line that's ongoing. And in the next one, Charlie's life has been turned even further upside down. She will question all her beliefs in order to follow a course of action that could be her downfall on every level.
Producing a coherent outline is a headache. As is always the case about now, I drag out the outline from the last book to try and work out how on earth I put this thing together before. Trust me, it gets no easier.
The old outline is usually looking a bit grubby and sorry for itself by now, having been dragged everywhere with me like a child's tatty comfort blanket. It has been much pawed over and scribbled on by the time it was put away, and it is now covered in pencil corrections and amendments and … probably bears very little resemblance to the finished book. The main plot points usually stay the same, though, and while the details may change, it at least gives me the basic story arc, and tells me at any given point how far through the story I ought to be, as certain key elements fall into place. It helps me keep track of the pace.
Once my basic idea has formed out of the ether, the first thing I always write is the imaginary jacket copy. I pick up the book in my mind, turn it over and read the back of the jacket. Does the idea grab me? I mean, really grab me? It better had, because I'm going to have to spend months immersed in it. When I go back through my files, this is exactly what I put together for THIRD STRIKE, before I began to write the book:
'I was running when I saw my father kill himself. Not that he jumped off a tall building or stepped in front of a truck but – professionally, personally – what I watched him do was suicide.'
The last person that ex-Special Forces soldier turned bodyguard, Charlie Fox, ever expected to self-destruct was her own father, an eminent consultant surgeon. But when Charlie unexpectedly sees him admitting to gross professional misconduct on a New York news programme, she can't just stand by and watch his downfall.
That's not easy when Richard Foxcroft, always cold towards his daughter, rejects her help at every turn. The good doctor has never made any secret of his disapproval of Charlie's choice of career – or her relationship with her boss, Sean Meyer. And now, just as Charlie and Sean are settling in to their new life in the States, Foxcroft seems determined to go down in a blazing lack of glory, taking his daughter and everyone she cares about down with him.
But those behind Foxcroft's fall from grace have not bargained on Charlie's own ruthless streak. A deadly professional who's always struggled to keep her killer instinct under control, this time she has very personal reasons for wanting to neutralise the threat to her reluctant principal.
And when the threads of the conspiracy reach deep into a global corporation with almost unlimited resources, the battle is going to be bitter and bloody …
Now, in that case, I already had my opening lines as well. The whole thing is less than 250 words. And, as a bonus, it more or less follows the finished book!
After that initial half-page, I start to put together my back story. Very few books start at the absolute beginning of the story, and because Charlie Fox is working in close protection, there has to be a threat of some kind to the client before she's brought in. I need to know what it is, and more or less everything that's happened up to the point at which she – and the reader – join the tale.
This is where a first-person narrative is both a blessing and a curse. A lot of the back story will take place off camera. If Charlie wasn't actually there, she has to find out this information somehow, in such a way that it doesn't put the reader – or the writer, for that matter – to sleep in the process. But at the moment all I want to know is what happened before, in broad strokes. Trying to work out exactly how Charlie fits into all this would clog me up and slow me down. Detail comes later.
Having got my back story and decided my jumping-off point for the book, I write down the main structure points. An attack on the principal. An ambush on the road. A meeting. A double-cross. A confrontation between the characters. I start off with the whole thing as bare-bones as I can get away with, and then I go over it, again and again, adding a little more detail with each layer, as the twists and turns make themselves apparent.
This is where having my back story to hand is so useful, as I can put the two side-by-side and see where Charlie's story intersects with the back story, to make sense of the course of events. Ever watched an old James Bond film and wondered how the villain's identically dressed henchmen always seemed to turn up in the right place at the right time to pursue 007? If anyone asks me the same question, I should be able to answer it from the back story. (And, if I can't, I need to find that answer, pdq.)
And, with apologies to all the techie crowd out there, I do this on paper in pencil. Usually on a fold-over clipboard so I can use it in the car or wherever, and always have a flat surface to write on. The clipboard also doubles as a handy laptop tray, to stop me cooking my legs if I'm working on screen for any length of time.
The hardest part of plotting, as always for me, is the misdirection, where Charlie has to believe something other than the truth is going on, and someone other than the culprit is responsible. This usually occurs to me as I'm layering it in. Anything happening behind the scenes, I put in brackets in my outline, as an aside to myself, just so I know what's really going on.
Having got my basic outline, I then do my cast list. Some will be continuing characters, but a lot will be new people, and at this stage I only need a brief idea of who they are. They will introduce themselves to me more fully as I go along. I've tried doing full biographies for characters before I start, and it just doesn't work for me. I need to 'meet' them, in person, in context, before I really know who they are.
For the last few books I have had the privilege of adding in the character of someone who has bid at a charity auction for the right to be included. In SECOND SHOT this was Frances L Neagley, who became a Boston Private Investigator. In THIRD STRIKE, it was Terry O'Loughlin – a Texas lawyer for a pharmaceutical giant. In the latest book, FOURTH DAY, the winner particularly wanted her name used in such a way that possibly only she would recognise it. And in the new book I have not one, but two characters to incorporate – a mother and daughter. Fortunately, before I started outlining I had vague plans for a father and daughter as central characters, but a mother and daughter works even better.
Unless they're auction bidders, finding names for new characters can be a bit of a chore. Fortunately, I can always call on various random name generator sites, including this one, which will allow you to be more specific, asking for names suitable for a hillbilly, a rapper, or a goth, as well as specifying country of origin.
At this stage, this is just a rough idea of who I need to people my world, trying to make sure all of them don't have names beginning with the same letter, or ending with a similar sound, which can lead to confusion. I went to a writing group meeting last week and someone read out a story in which all the main characters had names beginning with 'B', a fact which she hadn't noticed before bringing the story to the group.
What I try not to plan in detail is the reactions of the characters to the events of the book. That I like to leave as a more organic process, arising naturally out of the circumstances in which they find themselves. Dusty's excellent blog from yesterday (see below) explained all the main archetypes and the cliché pitfalls that dot our path. Although there may only be a limited number of plots and – it would seem – a certain number of character types, it's the way you as a writer choose to combine these, in your voice, that makes your story unique.
Of course, a lot will change by the time the book is finished, but for me it's like going on a car journey at night. I know roughly the direction I'm travelling in. I know where to turn and which signs to follow. And I know where I ultimately want to end up. But as I drive fast into the darkness, a lot of the detail of the landscape and the road ahead is hidden, and I can only see with any clarity the area directly in front of the headlights.
With an outline, I have my road map and I do a little rolling detail outline as I go along, so I know the immediate future, the immediate path ahead, but occasionally obstacles and obstructions and detours crop up that you don't expect, and then you – and your characters – have to react as best they can and hope you don't crash.
So, where do you stand on the whole outline or not-outline issue. If you're an outliner, how does your method of putting the whole thing together vary from mine? And, if you're not an outliner, how do you set about getting into a new book?
This week's Word of the Week is Juggernaut. With an initial capital, this means a very large lorry, but it also means any relentless destroying force or object of devotion or sacrifice; an incarnation of Vishna, whose idol at Puri is traditionally drawn on a processional chariot, beneath which devotees were once believed to throw and crush themselves. Also Jugannath, from Jagannatha, lord of the world.
And finally, as the only Brit member of the 'Rati crew, I feel I ought to mention the fourth anniversary on Tuesday of the London bus and Underground bombings, which took place on July 7th 2005. They have just erected a memorial to the dead in Hyde Park in London – a collection of columns to represent the fallen, standing tall.

04/13/07 - A CA Reader Visits Ellis Island, Finds Resistance To Immigration
From: A Reader
I had missed Kevin Carter's reply to a reader, in which Carter wrote,
"I don't dislike Paul, but I'm not supporting him. The things he talks about aren't going to win him many votes (except maybe from a few rightwing eggheads and John Birch Society members) so I just don't see the point"
Ron Paul is gaining a tremendous following, though it is mostly on the internet ....still, internet types have been known to vote in elections.
His support consists of a variety of different political viewpoints which have overarching common concerns.
Go to the average web straw poll, and see for yourself what his numbers are (unless it is a poll such as Horserace08, or Pajamas Media, both of which have actually erased his votes).
I differ with Mr. Carter to the extent that I don't think people are quite awake enough about the immigration issue that anyone can be elected solely on that basis. But Ron Paul has that one, plus the history of having opposed the Iraq invasion from the very start ...not to mention his stance on income tax, which has gained him the support of some visible people.

The Great Iowa Treasure Hunt Program – Do You Have Unclaimed Property in Iowa?
The Great Iowa Treasure Hunt is a program that deals with unclaimed funds. Whenever certain assets go unclaimed after so many years, banks and other organizations turn them over to the state. The state then tries to reunite the property with the rightful owner. Many people don't realize that they are owed money, and many of the funds go unclaimed forever.
Since the program began in 1983, over $100 million has been returned to rightful owners throughout the state. The $100 million has been paid out to nearly 300,000 individuals and companies. Despite the state's efforts, whoever, $200 million still remains unclaimed to date. Millions of more are being turned over every year. Approximately 1 out of 3 Iowans is owed money. More than 800,000 individuals and businesses are rightful owners of the $200 million.
It seems strange that so many people would forget about money, but in today's fast-paced world, is it really all that surprising? Sometimes people get off course and simply forget about stocks that they have invested in. Some people quit their jobs without realizing that the company owes them a benefit check. Some of the unclaimed property is inheritance money that the heirs know nothing about. And, of course, people get married or divorced all the time, and often forget to notify everyone of their name change.
Common types of unclaimed or abandoned property include: dormant checking or savings accounts, utility refunds, retail refunds or rebates, unclaimed wages, uncashed checks, insurance dividends, stock certificates, and safe deposit boxes. For the most part, these are all intangible assets. The only tangible assets are the contents located inside safe deposit boxes.
Iowa puts in more effort than many other states in trying to find owners. The Great Iowa Treasure Hunt program gives out public service announcements through TV and radio and sends out first class letters to citizens. The program also lists names of owners at state and county fairs. There's an online database through which individuals and companies can search to see if any of the assets belongs to them.
There is no time limit for owners or their heirs to claim their assets after they become custody of the state. It's also free to file a claim, although some firms offer "finder" services for a fee. Those who have unclaimed money can fill out a claim form and mail it into the State Treasurer Office, along with an affidavit, photo ID copy, and any other documentation that the state might request.
ugh where do you go to check to see if you have outstanding unclaimed money?
