Malware in a JAR: How Rogue Java Applications Compromise your EndpointsIBM Security
Java has become one of the most victimized platforms used by hackers to compromise corporate endpoints. The ubiquitous nature of Java and the available vulnerabilities raise certain risk that cannot be ignored or simply removed.
Traditionally many organizations have focused Java security efforts on native exploits. However, with nearly 96% of Oracle Java exploits from 2012 to 2013 delivered through rogue Java applications, organizations are seeking capabilities to address both attack vectors.
In this presentation Christopher Beier, IBM Security Senior Product Marketing Manager, explores:
• JAR and Java threat landscape
• Various types of Java attacks
• Protection capabilities against Java based attacks

3D architectural rendering is a useful visualization method that simplifies the job of home planners. With a realistic view of design features like layout, color, lighting, arrangement of individual components, dimension and space, it helps to effortlessly create, compare and analyze various design plans.
Building Information Modelling (BIM) has radically changed the way architectural, engineering and constructional design and documentation is implemented.
Modeling Software Systems in Experimental Robotics for Improved ReproducibilityFlorian Lier
Research on robot systems either integrating a large number of capabilities in a single architecture or displaying outstanding performance in a single domain achieved considerable progress over the last years. Results are typically validated through experimental evaluation or demonstrated live, e.g., at robotics competitions. Common robot hardware, simulation and programming platforms such as the iCub ecosystem yield a vastly improved basis for comparable research. Despite this progress, many of the described experiments still cannot be easily reproduced by interested researchers to confirm the reported findings. We consider this a critical challenge for experimental robotics.
We address this problem in our work by introducing an integrated approach facilitating the reproduction of robotics experiments. We identify major obstacles to experiment replication and introduce an integrated approach that allows aggregation and discovery of required research artifacts, automated build and deployment of required system components, as well as experiment description, repeatable execution and evaluation.
We explain the usage of the introduced process through replication of an exemplary robotics experiment using the iCub humanoid robot.
Learn the secrets of the pros. Melonie Gallegos and Anne McColl share tips for designing images for use on the web. Find out how to size your Facebook photos for perfect display, learn the difference between RBG and CMYK, and get free tools for image editing. This guide is a must-have for every content marketer!

Hadj Ounis's most notable work is his sculpture titled "Metamorphosis." This piece showcases Ounis's mastery of form and texture, as he seamlessly combines metal and wood to create a dynamic and visually striking composition. The juxtaposition of the two materials creates a sense of tension and harmony, inviting viewers to contemplate the relationship between nature and industry.
Boudoir photography, a genre that captures intimate and sensual images of individuals, has experienced significant transformation over the years, particularly in New York City (NYC). Known for its diversity and vibrant arts scene, NYC has been a hub for the evolution of various art forms, including boudoir photography. This article delves into the historical background, cultural significance, technological advancements, and the contemporary landscape of boudoir photography in NYC.

1. Science Photos Of The Year 2015
Science has a way of surprising even the most jaded observer, and that's certainly the case
with the images selected for the Wellcome Image Awards 2015. The science images of the
year feature cutting-edge technology and the hard work of researchers and their
institutions. A panel of judges selected 20 images from the many acquired by the
Wellcome Images library over the past year; the 20 will be honored at a March 18
ceremony, where an overall winner will be announced.
The 20 images cover a broad range of scientific topics, imaging techniques and materials.
One photo from Dave Farnham depicts 3D-printed human lungs inside the rib cage of a
woman with Hodgkin's lymphoma. The 3D rendering was created using data from her
CT scans.
This is not abstract art, but a re-creation of the nervous system in a fruit fly larva. Albert
Cardona, HHMI Janelia Research Campus, Wellcome Images.
2. The reticulum, or stomach chamber of a goat. The opening in the center leads to another
stomach chamber, the omasum. Goats have four stomach chambers -- the rumen, the
reticulum, the omasum and the abomasum. Courtesy of Wellcome Images.

3. A 3D structured illumination micrograph -- photo taken through a microscope -- of a
natural killer cell that's part of our innate immune system. "NK cells produce toxic
substances (cytotoxic) which when delivered to a susceptible target cell causes it to
self-destruct (apoptosis or programmed cell death)." Courtesy of Wellcome Images.

cancer. Courtesy of Wellcome Images.

Image of a boll weevil's head. These pests feed and lay eggs in cotton plants. Courtesy of
Wellcome Images.
5. Cross section of a cat's tongue. Courtesy of Wellcome Images.

Wellcome Images.
6. Coronal -- or frontal view -- of a mouse brain. Neurones -- or nerve cells -- are color
coded based on depth. At the top is red followed by orange, yellow, purple, blue and
green. Courtesy of Wellcome Images.
Dendritic tree -- branched projections of neurons -- in the cerebellar cortex of a rat brain.
"The cerebellar cortex forms part of the cerebellum, the region of the brain which plays a
role in controlling accuracy and coordination of movement." Courtesy of Wellcome
Images.
7. Metabolites inside a mouse kidney. Amino acids aspartate and glutamine are red and blue
while the antioxidant glutathione is seen as green in this image. The "resulting image
shows how metabolism varies between cells in a single organ. The higher the
concentration of the molecule within the cell, the brighter that colour appears." Courtesy
of Wellcome Images.
An astrocyte cell -- a gilal, or non-neuronal cell -- in the brain taking up a carbon
nanotube, which could be used asa drug delivery system. The cell is green while the
nanotube is brown in this image. Courtesy of Wellcome Images.
8. A paraitoid wasp, Wallaceaphytis kikiae, which helps out farmers around the world. "Its
close relatives in the genus Aphytis successfully control populations of scale insects
(sap-sucking agricultural pests), which attack oranges and other citrus fruits around the
world. The female wasps lay their eggs in the scale insects which are then killed by the
wasp larvae." Courtesy of Wellcome Images.

9. View of a healthy adult, living human brain. The front of head is toward the left of the
image and a MRI was used to collect information on the "pathways of white matter in the
brain." Courtesy of Wellcome Images..

11. Mouse lungs filled with microparticles carrying drugs (the red/pink spots). ". Current
anti-cancer therapies have many toxic side effects so research into other ways of
delivering drugs to specific areas of the body are being investigated in order to decrease
these unwanted side effects. Here, microparticles were delivered to the lungs using a
route similar to drugs administered by an inhaler." Courtesy of Wellcome Images.
