Ron Paul Gets the Most Donations From Military Personnel and Their Spouses, Obama Second
Airforce Times is reporting that Ron Paul continues to lead all presidential candidates in campaign contributions from the military (as he has since 2007). This is not surprising given the way military personnel (along with the rest of the country) have been lied to and manipulated about the reasons for the Iraq war and about the war on terror in general.
Support the troops — bring them home!!!
From January 2007 through March of this year, service members or civilian employees of the military donated at least $766,000 to presidential candidates, according to data made available April 20 and provided by the Center for Responsive Politics, a nonprofit research group in Washington.
The analysis included donations of at least $200 made by individuals who listed their employer as one of the four branches of the military — Army, Air Force, Navy and Marine Corps — or the Coast Guard, National Guard, Army Air Force Exchange Service, armed forces or military.
These donors gave the largest amounts to Rep. Ron Paul, the long-shot Republican candidate from Texas who has acknowledged defeat in the nomination process but continues to campaign, and Sen. Barack Obama, the Democrat from Illinois.
During the reporting period, Paul — a former Air Force surgeon who broke with his party to vote against the Iraq war — received the most military contributions, with $201,271.
That's significantly more than the presumptive Republican nominee, Sen. John McCain from Arizona, who received $132,133 from military donors, according to CRP.
"I think that our fighting men and women want to protect America, defend our Constitution and defend our borders," said Jesse Benton, a spokesman for Rep. Paul's campaign. "I think they're sick and tired of being sent overseas on these police actions and getting caught in the middle of these civil wars, and want someone like Ron Paul speaking sense.
"They signed up to defend our country, not police the world," Benton said, "and I think they're hungry for leaders who do that."
Obama, meanwhile, whose opposition to invading Iraq has been a centerpiece of his campaign, has received $178,456 in military contributions, compared to Sen. Hillary Clinton's $85,000, the analysis shows.

Missing teeth can be embarrassing! Especially if you are missing multiple teeth. Smiling at others may make you feel like a Halloween jack-o-lantern because of your lost teeth!
Maybe you've been avoiding replacing your teeth because you're worried that it's expensive and complicated since you're missing more than one tooth; however, you should know that there are excellent solutions for replacing multiple teeth that won't break the bank.
What Is a Partial Denture?
If you are still retaining a large number of healthy teeth, a partial denture is an excellent solution which our Bridgeton MO office offers. A partial is a removable appliance that uses prosthetic teeth to fill in the gaps in your smile. It fits much like a retainer and snaps into place with metal clasps that use healthy teeth to keep it anchored.
Your partial is designed, so your prosthetic teeth blend seamlessly with your surrounding teeth and give you a natural appearance. It also restores the function of eating and chewing so you'll be able to enjoy all your favorite foods again.
Implant-Supported Partials
Dental implants are often used to anchor a partial denture and hold it securely in place. Now your appliance is not removable, but implants provide a firm foundation to keep it anchored firmly.
Dental implants also provide the added benefit of protecting your jawbone from the deterioration caused by missing your natural roots. A healthy jaw bone gives your partial additional longevity and can help it serve you for many years.
Contact Our Office to Learn More
You don't have to live with a compromised smile any longer when there are excellent options like dentures and partials in Bridgeton to restore beauty and function to your teeth. Contact Dr. Kevin Burgdorf today to schedule a consultation and learn more about what's possible for your smile.

Supreme Court Update Available
Categories: Uncategorized
With the beginning of the October 2009 Term, much of the attention and speculation has been focused on the addition of Justice Sotomayor to the Court, as well as the possible retirement of Justice Stevens at the end of the term. The implications for Indian country as a result of these changes are still unfolding, but at present, Indian country is 0 for 5 before the Roberts' Court.
To date, no Indian law cases are currently pending before the Court on the merits. In a disappointing outcome, on November 16, 2009, the Court denied review in Harjo v. Pro-Football, Inc. The D.C. Circuit's decision held that the doctrine of laches (i.e. long delay in bringing lawsuit) precluded consideration of a petition seeking cancellation of the "Redskins" trademarks owned by Pro-Football, even though the Trademark Trial and Appeals Board's found that the trademarks disparaged Native Americans. The Tribal Supreme Court Project coordinated four amicus in support of the petition: (1) the NCAI-Tribal Amicus Brief which summarizes the efforts of the Native American community over the past forty years to retire all Indian names and mascots; (2) the Social Justice/Religious Organizations Amicus Brief which focuses on the social justice and public interests present in the case; (3) the Trademark Law Professors' Brief which supports and enhances the trademark law arguments put forward by petitioners; and (4) the Psychologists' Amicus Brief which provides an overview of the empirical research of the harm caused by racial stereotyping. Attention will now focus on the Blackhorse v. Pro-Football, Inc. litigation which was brought in 2006 by young Native Americans in an effort to avoid the laches defense, and then stayed pending the outcome in the Harjo case.

WADI NATRUN, Egypt — Christian monks living in the solitude of Egypt's deserts have always faced the threat of attack from outside. In the early centuries, they built drawbridges and windowless towers to repel marauding nomads.
More recently, barricades and armed police officers ring the monasteries to guard against Islamic State suicide bombers, who target Christians.
But now, to the shock of the faithful, it turns out that danger also lurks inside the monastery walls.
The death of Bishop Epiphanius, the abbot of the fourth century Monastery of St. Macarius, last month has set off an ecclesiastical murder mystery worthy of a Dan Brown novel. More than a simple whodunit, the case has exposed simmering tensions of a theological, if not personal, nature in an influential corner of the Coptic Orthodox Church.
A scholar of ancient manuscripts with a frizzy beard typical of Orthodox clerics, Bishop Epiphanius, 64, was found at dawn on July 29, lying in a pool of blood outside his monastic cell. Injuries to his skull indicated he had been hit on the head with a blunt object, possibly a pipe, the police said.
The intrigue deepened days later when the Coptic authorities defrocked a younger monk, Isaiah, who had clashed with the bishop in the weeks before his death. Soon after that, another monk, Faltaous, 33, slashed his wrists and tried to throw himself from a four-story building.
Faltaous was hospitalized and treated for his injuries. On Aug. 11, Egyptian prosecutors said Isaiah had been charged with the murder of Bishop Epiphanius after confessing to the crime. Two days later they said that they had detained Faltaous for questioning.
Beyond that, not much more is known. The police have sealed off the monastery to interview 150 people, including staff members, monks and bishops. The Coptic patriarch, Pope Tawadros II, has issued orders apparently aimed at tightening discipline among the country's 2,000 monks.
New admissions to the monasteries have been suspended for a year; monks require permission to travel outside; and they have been given a month to close their Facebook and Twitter accounts.
"In the light of what has happened, we need to give the monks their space and let them return to a focus on monastic life," said Archbishop Angaelos of London, a prominent Coptic leader, speaking by phone. "They do not need social media accounts."
The bishop's death has become the subject of feverish news coverage in Egypt and, in private among Copts, much speculation. What would motivate two monks to plot against their bishop in a remote desert monastery, presuming they are the culprits? Possibilities floated by Coptic officials, experts and monks in interviews include theological disputes, financial misdeeds and even talk that the two monks had a close personal relationship they feared might be exposed.
One senior church official, speaking on the condition of anonymity, said that, during a search of the monastery, Egyptian police officers had uncovered compromising material on a cellphone that could offer a motive. He declined to provide details.
"This is about more than just the death of a bishop," said Ishak Ibrahim, an expert on the Coptic faith at the Egyptian Initiative for Personal Rights, an advocacy group. "It's a shock to the entire church."
At the nearby Monastery of St. Pishoy, seven miles from the scene of the bishop's death, monks declined to comment, citing orders from superiors. But like everyone else they were eager to discuss the rumors privately. "It's is very unfortunate. I see these as two men who have been touched by the tongue of Satan," said a deacon providing a tour of the monastery. But he added, "we cannot judge them."
"All of us are weak," the deacon went on. "And if they repent, Jesus will accept them."
Acknowledging the intense public interest, church leaders say they are trying to strike a balance between transparency and allowing the investigation to take its course. "It's difficult because this is entirely unprecedented," said Archbishop Angaelos, who had a brief moment of global celebrity when he delivered a prayer at the wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle in May. "We need to pray for wisdom, peace and an exposition of the truth."
The Copts, who make up about 10 percent of Egypt's roughly 97 million people, are more usually in the headlines as victims of persecution. Since December 2016, Islamic State suicide bombers have attacked several Coptic churches. In May 2017 gunmen killed at least 28 Coptic pilgrims as they traveled by bus to a monastery.
A failed suicide bombing at a church in northern Cairo last weekend left just the bomber dead but was a reminder of the threat.
Bishop Epiphanius's death opens a window on the cloistered world of the desert monasteries, which have enjoyed a major revival in the past 50 years and have come to occupy a central place in the Coptic faith. Four of the most famous monasteries are in Wadi Natrun, north of Cairo, an area once known for the salty lakes that provide the sodium carbonate used by the ancient Egyptians for mummification, now dotted with farmland reclaimed from the desert.
Bishop Epiphanius was viewed as a senior figure in a reformist Coptic movement that has been gaining momentum inside the church under Pope Tawadros, said Samuel Tadros, an expert on the Coptic Church at the Hudson Institute in Washington. His appointment, in May, to position in which he would work as a liaison with the Catholic Church was seen as a sign that conservatives were being sidelined, Mr. Tadros said.
But Bishop Epiphanius also faced opposition inside his own monastery. Earlier this summer the bishop considered expelling Isaiah, the monk now in custody, for "ongoing violations," Archbishop Angaelos said.
"He had been given several opportunities to cease what he was doing and to stop those violations," said the archbishop, declining to specify the nature of the violations. After the bishop was killed, the monk was defrocked, he added.
The scandal has shattered the image of the monks as austere servants of God, devoted to prayer and solitude, that is held by many Copts in Egypt. Some question whether Copts are ready for the full truth about why the bishop was killed.
"I had no doubt from the beginning that this was personal," said Mr. Tadros, citing confidential information he received from Coptic officials about the case. "Yet the ramifications of the murder are likely to continue with the church for a long time."
Pope Tawadros promised in a sermon last week that the truth about the murder would come out, no matter how difficult.
The last time Coptic clerics featured in such a sensational story in Egypt was in 2001, when a tabloid newspaper published pictures of a naked former monk with a woman, alongside accusations that the man had had sex with the woman on a church altar. The article led to rowdy street protests by outraged Copts who saw it as a slur on their faith.
The uproar led to the newspaper being pulled from news stands, and its publisher being sentenced to three years in prison.
For now, the St. Macarius monastery is closed to outsiders. One monk, speaking by phone from the monastery, said the police were still questioning witnesses. He acknowledged there had been tensions before the killing, but declined to say much more.
"We have problems," he said. "But we do not want to speak about it."

When Democracy Insults
Rehema Kampala
Dear Ugandans at heart,
If there was any hope of free, fair, and credible elections in Uganda this year, that hope was dashed the moment President Yoweri Museveni decided to run for president. I shall return to this.
After the 2006 electoral heist, it looked like we couldn't sink any lower in electoral malfeasance. We thought we had seen it all and nobody could take 31 million people for a ride ever again in the name of democracy. It looked increasingly likely that election 2011 would bring the political change the country so desperately needed. The opposition under Interparty Cooperation had the support of almost all Ugandans before Museveni spoilt everything.
Based on this assumption, Ugandans were willing to make the necessary sacrifice.And so we approached the 2011 elections with a lot of hope and plenty of promises from the president and the electoral commission. The elections have come and gone. Unfortunately, they were neither free and fair nor credible. Electoral malpractices were widespread. The fraud was manifest in the inflation of votes, multiple thumb printing (evidence abound on Youtube), buying of voter's card, inducement and buying of voters on election day, the seizure of polling stations and sharing of ballot papers, underage voting, violence, and intimidation of voters. The list is endless.
The point is that the election fell below expectation. Some would argue that it was a marked improvement from 2006. That may be the case. But that argument is meaningless if one considers the unprecedented post-election violence that has been meted out to the likes of Besigye and Mao, and the fact that other parties rejected the results.
It seems our greatest undoing as a nation is our predilection for mediocrity and perversion of transformational values. Old men in Uganda are nolonger afraid of telling lies in public. Kivenjinja Kirunda, the minister of internal affairs, has been the greates liar of all, followed by president Museveni himself.
The ''Independent'' Electoral Commission (EC) may not have been in a position to deal with a lot of the anomalies witnessed during the election, but that is not to say the commission is completely blameless. Clearly, EC was not prepared for the election and it showed a lack of authority and determination at every turn.
For example, in some regions, there were marked differences in the provisional and final figures after the voter registration exercise which EC could not explain. The number of invalid votes during the elections shows that EC did not take seriously the issue of voter education. In a country with one of the highest level of illiteracy, why did EC make the sample ballot paper a mystery?
When president Museveni said that EC was the only body with the authority to fix the order of election, after Besigye had announced that he would announce his own results, we all knew that elections were not going to be free and fair. Some of the lame excuses the EC offered included the statement that ballot papers had been printed, as if that had any bearing on the date the election would take place. So much for commitment to free and fair election! With over 20 million US dollars and a lot of goodwill from Ugandans, EC ought to have done better but they didnt. Dr.Kiggundu, chairman of EC, is a known NRM cadre and he is likely to remain chairman for as long as Museveni is still president of Uganda.
But if we focus on EC we miss the point. President Museveni's entry into the presidential race changed the dynamics of the election. Was he going to run to lose, in a country where money is everything and incumbency rules, no matter the level of incompetence?
Regrettably, most in NRM have refused to see that Uganda is bigger than President Museveni or his ambitions. Of course, there was the moral burden he faced in his party. But beyond that was the inability to appreciate that one of the greatest problems confronting us as a nation is bad leadership. Museveni is simply the most selfish leader Uganda has had since independence.
Since independence, we have had the misfortune of being saddled with morally bankrupt, inept and visionless leaders. And this has persisted because we haven't been able to conduct credible elections. It is either competent people are rigged out or they do not trust the system enough to run for office. President Museveni had the golden opportunity to change that in 1996 but he has proved to be worse than past presidents. He has killed more people than both Obote and Amin Combined but the western media started to talk about it just this year during the 'WALK TO WORK' protests when Arinaitwe Gilbert treated Besigye like a sack of potatoes in a pick up.
Once he decided to run, President Museveni had to do all he needed to do to win, whether it meant running what perhaps was the most expensive presidential campaign in history, in total disregard of the country's electoral laws, bending the rules to favour him or coercing governors to get their support.We need a courageous leader; one who is willing to make sacrifices on our behalf. President Museveni failed Uganda in this regard.
As always, there are those who would want us to be amnesiac. We need to move Uganda forward is their ever ready answer to our political and social problems. But the next five years will not be dedicated to governance in any form. From May 12, 2011, the race will begin in the ruling party on who will succeed President Museveni in 2016, that is if he keeps his promise to serve his final term. In the months ahead there will be political jobbers who will resurrect the debate of 7-year tenure for the president.
I'm also surprised with the media that keeps giving space to the children of big people in NRM to either cement the dictatorship ideas in the country or continue to confuse Ugandans. For example, the Daily Monitor has been publishing articles from Mbabazi's daughter and they are slowly turning her into some form of a serious intellectual person yet she is clearly confusing Ugandans. Before we know it, Muhoozi will also start appearing more in the Newvision on a regular basis as if we have not had enough of this rotten batch.

"Reverse engineering, also called back engineering, is the processes of extracting knowledge or design information from anything man-made and re-producing it or re-producing anything based on the extracted information" Ref wikipedia
There are many purpose for reverse engineering such discovering software bug,security auditing, removal of copy protection,improving documentation shortcomings,learning purposes,etc. But why is this important to us ?
There are many situation where a basic background knowledge in reverse engineering may reveal to be very useful.The utilization of Dynamic tracing tools for performance troubleshooting and analyzing application internal, which is becoming more widespread these days, is one of them. In fact, many applications like oracle database are delivered without source code or any debugging information which will make identification of function meaning ,arguments value,type and number,return value and other things much more difficult. This later information are needed in case we want to extend the oracle instrumentation or understand the application behavior using a systemtap scripts for example .
In this post i will try to cover some basic things that may reveal important in many situation :
I will be using a simple C program as example
Test system : Linux X86_64 OEL6
ELF standard (Executable and Linking Format) :
A standard file format must be used when generating an executable/library such that it will be recognized and managed by the operating system(how to load the file in memory,where to look for the code/data,which shared library need to be loaded,etc). ELF was chosen as the standard binary file format for Unix and Unix-like systems on x86 .
There are three main types of object files :
- Relocatable file : Holds code and data suitable for linking with other object files to create an executable or a shared object file.
- Executable file :Holds a program suitable for execution.
- Shared object file : Holds code and data suitable for linking it two context
- The link editor may process it with other relocatable and shared shared object file to create another object file.
- The dynamic linker combines it with an executable file and other shared objects to create a process image.
ELF format specifies two views of an ELF file :
- Sections contain important data for linking and relocation (.text – executables code/.data – initialized variables/.bss – non-initialized variables/etc)
- Segments contain information that is necessary for runtime execution.During loading into the memory, sections are combined into segments so that one or more sections map to a segment in the executable.
Time for a little example :
Creating a shared library using position independent code as it's required on 64bit architecture.
int add_value(int a,int b ,int c,int d,int e,int f,int g) { int x=9; return a+b+c+d+e+f+g+x; }
gcc -g -fPIC -shared -o lib_add.so lib_add.c
#include <stdio.h> int add_value(int a,int b ,int c,int d,int e,int f,int g); int global_var=8; static int add_value2(int a,int b) { return a+b; } int main() { printf ("%d\n", add_value(1,2,3,4,5,6,7)); printf ("%d\n", add_value2(1,2)); printf ("%d\n", global_var); return 0; };
gcc -g -o main_add main_add.c -L. -l_add
Let's take a look a the ELF header using the readelf utility :
There is a lot of information that we can extract from the above ELF header.The main_add executable file is composed of 37 sections (Number of section headers) and 8 segments (Number of program headers) .
Using readelf tools let's list the different sections available and how they will be mapped to segments when loaded in memory.
Section Header Table of main_add :
A detailed explanation of every section can be found in the ELF specification doc.I will only focus on some section later.
Program Header Table of main_add :
We can clearly see the section to segment mapping (Segment has many types LOAD/GNU_STACK/etc for more info check the elf reference) .The segment number two of type LOAD that will contain executable code (.text) is flaged R E for read/execute . The interpreter that will be used for this binary is also listed in segment of type INTERP and it's the dynamic loader (ld-linux).
We can check the real layout of process segment using pmap.
using gdb to run the program and break on the function add_value to stop execution and then check the layout of process segment using pmap :
gdb main_add break add_value r
The segment number two which contain the .text,.rodata,.plt , etc sections is marked read /execute and loaded at address 0x400000 which correspond to VirtAddr.(the virtual addresses in the program headers might not represent the actual virtual addresses of the program's memory image). Segment number three which contain sections responsible for dynamic relocation ,initialized and no initialized data and other stuffs is loaded at address 0x600000 (aligned to page boundary ) and marked read/write.
Time to get more deeper :
The .text section :
Contain the program instruction code.We can use objdump to confirm that :
objdump -d -j .text main_add
Our function "add_value2" and "main" program are effectively there.Have you spotted how the function "add_value" which is defined in the shared library "lib_add" is called :
400648: e8 c3 fe ff ff callq 400510 <add_value@plt>
This is how dynamic relocation behave when using position independent code. Basically ,when the function is called (lazy binding ) it will not call the external function directly but will use a PLT stub. GOT and PLT (Procedure Linkage Table it's and array of stubs) sections are the keys for dynamic linking.
The first time the function is called this is what will happen (Resolve the external function address and place it in GOT entry before calling it) :
After the first call ( PLT is no longer used.We will jump directly to the function as we already know it's address in GOT) :
For detailed information on how dynamic relocation work i invite you to read the following articles :
- http://eli.thegreenplace.net/2011/08/25/load-time-relocation-of-shared-libraries#id14
- http://eli.thegreenplace.net/2011/11/03/position-independent-code-pic-in-shared-libraries/
But how the disassembler have figure it out that address "0x400604" correspond to the function "add_value2" ? objdump does address-to-symbol transformation for us using the symbol tables.
When writing a program we are basically giving names (symbol) to address and area of memory containing data and instruction by the bias of functions and variables.From The ELF specification : Symbol table holds information needed to locate and relocate a program's symbolic definitions and references.Basically,Symbol tables are used by symbolic debugger and dynamic tracing tools to translate a known hex address into a human readable format and by linker for symbol resolution.
There is two distinct symbol tables :
Full symbol table which contain local and global symbol.
Is a subset of .symtab. Contain the minimal set of symbols required for dynamic linking such as information about imported and exported dynamic link functions.
For more info on symbol tables and why there is two of them please take look at :
Let's use readelf tool to display this different sections :
Like expected the function "add_value2" which is a local function is defined only on .symtab symbol table whereas the global function "add_value" is defined in the two sections.Also you can check that the function "add_value2" is defined at address "0x400604" in section 13 ".text" and that correspond exactly to what objdump disassembler have done.
Symbols that are not needed for relocation processing like local functions can be stripped from the program using the strip utility.
The section ".symtab" which contain the full symbol table was eliminated.This will reduces the file size but the drawback of this is that it will be not be possible for symbolic debugger and dynamic tracer to transform local symbol address to human readable format.For example if displaying a callstack trace of a program the call to the function "add_value2" will be displayed as hex value.
Program compiled with debuginfo and contain the full symbol table.
Program compiled without debuginfo nor contain the full symbol table.(fully stripped)
It's clear that the call stack trace is not as useful as before. (i will give more detailed view on what's a call stack later).
But what do we mean by "compiled with debuginfo" ?
When compiling with debug info extra information in DWARF format are generated which are kept in special sections of the ELF file (we can also put a program's debugging information in a file separate from the executable itself info). The debug info contain information such that detail about function argument and return value,variable type and size,corresponding line number,etc.
We can use readelf to display the different sections holding the debug information :
Here is simple example to emphasis on the usefulness of the debug info sections :
Program compiled with debuginfo :
Program compiled without debuginfo :
Clearly the debugger is still able to resolve symbol using the symbol tables.But there is many information missing like function arguments value and source code line number.
I hope that for now you see the importance of having the full symbol table in place (.symtab) and the debuginfo of the program at hand.Without this information the usage of debugger and dynamic tracing tool for troubleshooting performance problem and for the purpose of getting a deeper understanding of application internal will become more difficult.
Time to look at the oracle executable :
Using the file and readelf utility we can reveal many useful information :
- Dynamically linked
- ELF executable
- Not stripped : So the full symbol table is there ! good !
Using readelf to display the symbol tables :
We can list the shared library dependencies also using ldd utility :
Does it contain debug information ?
No sign of debuginfo in the ELF file, also ORACLE does not ship any separate debuginfo file with the executable.So it appear that it will be difficult to access function arguments ,local variables ,return value and many other stuffs. And then what ? Are we stuck ?
In the OS/ABI filed in the ELF header we can read UNIX – system V.
But what is an ABI ?
"The System V Application Binary Interface is a set of specifications that detail calling conventions, object file formats, executable file formats, dynamic linking semantics, and much more for systems that complies with the X/Open Common Application Environment Specification and the System V Interface Definition. It is today the standard ABI used by the major Unix operating systems such as Linux, the BSD systems, and many others." ref
So the ABI define many standard as the calling conventions which detail how function argument are passed (pushed on the stack or placed in registers) ,where the return value of a function is placed and many other things (For more detail please take look at the ABI specification).
So after all, it seem possible to get many useful information although we have no debuginfo in hand.But, before going any further let's see what is a stack ?
What is a Stack ?
Basically a stack is an area of memory allocated to a process that stores information about the active subroutines.It's composed of multiple stack frames , as a new frame is allocated for each active function(not yet returned). Stack frames may contain information such as :
- Arguments of the called function
- Local variables
- Return address off the caller
- Etc
The most important purpose of a stack is to keep track of the point to which each active function should return control when it finishes executing.
Here is an example off a call stack layout from wikipedia :
Special register are used along with the stack :
- RSP : Stack pointer : Points to the top of the stack
- RBP : Frame pointer : Provide a stable reference from which functions arguments and local variables can be referenced.(The Frame pointer is optional and can be omitted using "-fomit-frame-pointer" is this case local variable and arguments will be accessed relatively to the stack pointer)
From the ABI Spec :
"The conventional use of %rbp as a frame pointer for the stack frame may be avoided by using %rsp (the stack pointer) to index into the stack frame. This technique saves two instructions in the prologue and epilogue and makes one additional general-purpose register (%rbp) available."
This is only a very brief overview of the stack for more detailed info :
- http://duartes.org/gustavo/blog/post/journey-to-the-stack/
- http://eli.thegreenplace.net/2011/09/06/stack-frame-layout-on-x86-64/
- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Call_stack
- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X86_calling_conventions#x86-64_calling_conventions
- https://software.intel.com/sites/default/files/article/402129/mpx-linux64-abi.pdf
Time to look at the disassembled code (Of our test program of course 😀 ):
Using GDB let's disas our main function !
The first two instructions are related to function prologue which is responsible for the preparation of stack and registers for use within the function (wiki)
The value of Frame pointer is pushed into the stack after that it will take the value of the stack pointer : A new stack frame is created on top of the old stack frame
As of the ABI specification function arguments can be passed using both of the stack and special registers (check the ABI spec for more info on which register can be used ). In this particular case,after making some space into the stack using the instruction "sub $0x10;%rsp" ,the 7th argument is pushed into the stack then the 6 other arguments are copied into specific registers. After that the add_value function is called (which will push the return address into the stack) and as indicated in the ABI the return value is saved in the EAX register which is the copied into the EDX register.
Let's now disas the "add_value" function :
We can see the reappearance of the function prologue and also how the function arguments are pushed from the registers into the stack ,and that is in the purpose of freeing the registers for future use (In case of another function call). Then the local variable "x" which take the value 9 is pushed into the stack using the instruction "movl $0x9,-0x4(%rbp)". The remaining instruction are related to the process of additioning the different variables which are saved into the EAX register and to the function epilogue.
Function epilogue reverses the actions of the function prologue.It consist , int this case of the two functions "leaveq" and "retq".
With this knowledge we can now place a probe point on the function "add_value" and display it's arguments (both in the stack and registers) , return value and much more.Here is a simple GDB script :
break add_value command printf "Args : a=%d b=%d c=%d d=%d e=%d f=%d g=%d \n" ,$edi,$esi,$edx,$ecx,$r8d,$r9d , *(int *)($rbp+0x10) c end
There is much more to see ! but i think i will stop here as this post begin to be really long !
If you want more ! here is a free and awesome book by Dennis Yurichev !
That's it 😀 and stay tuned more to come !

Book of Black Heroes: Political Leaders Past and Present
by Gilbert L. Robertson, IV
The highly anticipated fourth installment of the Book of Black Heroes series, Political Leaders Past and Present, spotlights African American who have made valuable contributions in U. S. governmental leadership.Included are Hiram Revels, P.B.S. Pinchback and Robert Smalls, among the first African Americans to hold political offices, Oscar De Priest and Adam Clayton Powell, Jr, who served during the Jim Crow period as well as Edward M.

Facebook Analytics Determine ... Has the Best PostsUsing a complex internal algorithm, a team of data analysts at Facebook have been able to objectively determine that ... has the best posts of its 1.06 billion monthly active users.
Using a complex internal algorithm, a team of data analysts at Facebook have been able to objectively determine that ... has the best posts of its 1.06 billion monthly active users. The finding was part of Facebook's development strategy, which aimed to pinpoint the one Facebook poster that worldwide users would most want to see at the top of their newsfeeds. The analysts considered all of the key metrics of social media clickbait including quality of wordplay, cleverness of picture captions, ratio of share-worthy content to reshares, first-mover advantage [being the first to respond memorably to a news event or meme], and multi-demographic appeal. These data points were then referenced against each user's reply-comment behavior, with points awarded to users whose replies were so witty that they themselves became the topic of the discussion thread.
The team was quick to defend the empirical rigor of its approach. "People often assume that we would evaluate the quality of posts based on 'likes' alone. Doing so would have been a gross oversimplification. 'Likes' might just indicate a user has a large network of friends, or is likeable for reasons other than the pure quality of his or her posts. In truth, many of the most liked posts are completely unoriginal garbage. It was against the backdrop of this garbage-heap that ...'s posts emerged as groundbreakingly smart and engaging." In the head researcher's words, "Simply posting a cute picture of a costumed pet, or generating the third best pun in a series of comments will not distinguish you from a truly expert poster like ...."
When notified by Facebook of his accomplishment, ... seemed relieved to have finally received formal recognition for the tireless mental effort he had invested into his brilliant epigrams. "It's less about what you say, and more about saying it better than a billion other active users at any given moment." According to Facebook, truer words have never been spoken.

The other day I was very very very lucky to be invited to the Phones 4u Arena to take part in their shining, shimmering, splendid bloggers CAKE PARTY!! An amazing event hosted by Phones 4u in one of the VIP suites at the arena. A small selection of bloggers were invited to the suite, with promise of cake, make up and nail art to enjoy just before Katy Perry took to the Manchester stage as part of her Prismatic World Tour. As soon as I saw that Home Sweet Home were involved I knew I HAD to be there. Every time I go to Manchester I can smell that aroma of sweet delicious cake goodness drifting across from the Northern Quarter, right in to my slightly upturned nostrils, but for some unknown reason I'VE NEVER ACTUALLY BEEN!! I know, right. I had stalked the uber talents of BakeOrama over on Twitter on several occasions, so I literally could. not. wait. to get my mucky paws on the cakes in real life on the night…. Katy Perry? Pffffttt, guuuuurl, she was just the SUPPORT ACT for the night! (That's a lie, Icona Pop was the support, and Katy Perry was the main event. Just to clarify). Saying that, I did unfortunately have to leave like, half an hour after Katy Perry came on stage because I am the worst planner in the world and had to get the train back to my car, which I'd ditched somewhere in the suburbs of deepest, darkest Wythenshaw. Apparently I missed quite a lot of awesomeness, which you can also appreciate by checking out this almighty Buzzfeed roundup of the tour, which actually sums up the entire experience better than I ever could.
Now let's let some cake do some talking….
Totally wishing I was as photogenic as the lovely Lily Kitten right there. She is GLOWING whilst getting her make up done for the evening. And I think I need her heart print shirt dress in my life right now. It was also great to see the wonderful Frances Cassandra and Katy Fox there too, who have all blogged about the night with pictures other than cake, hahaa. Speaking of cake, I can confirm that it did taste as AMAZING as it looks. There's nothing worse than a fabulous cake which is as dry as a breeze block with no flavour. But each and every bite was as delicious as the next. BRB just need to get a mop for this drool. I think I love cake.
Thank you Phones4u for such an awesome evening. It was literally the best blogger event I have ever been too, and all is forgiven for not giving me that SEO job that time….
And oh yeah HIYA ACTUAL KATY PERRY PICS:
Like this? Then you might like these too:

That is intriguing Sleety_Rain the way the ARPEGE is holding the track and intesity of that storm it is showing for Sunday. Four runs in a row without any significant deviation ?.GEM looks equally as strong but a bit further S and the UKMO is now showing a low to the North of us on Sunday , the plot thickens !
There is no doubt that when the Jet is this strong it can throw up a surprise at the last moment.
The ARPEGE is a good steady reliable model nearer an event and has outshone other models on a few occasions this year. Better than the GFS at short range , better than ICON and the EURO 4 I would think.It is not as good as the ECM 5 to 4 days out but comes into its own from about 3 to 2 days out I reckon.
Met Eireann did add that there is an uncertainty about how windy and wet it will be on Sunday.
Onwards to the next output in the morning.
What do ye reckon ?
aisling86 might get a storm yet !

From Met Eireann
A highly mobile Atlantic regime looks set to dominate our weather pattern through this weekend and the coming week. This will bring a sustained period of unsettled, often very windy and at times wintry weather with showers of hail, sleet and snow.
A very strong Jet Stream will help to push some vigorous and potentially disruptive Atlantic weather systems over Ireland during the period.
Strong and blustery winds look likely to feature from Saturday (9th March) through to at least Wednesday (13th) with frequent gales at sea. Sea conditions will be very rough and there will be exceptionally high seas and swell in Atlantic coastal regions at times.
There is certainly potential for warnings to be issued over the coming days, so please do stay up to date with the Met Éireann forecast.

I'm reckoning that this storm will pass further to the north than forecast as they tend to do so more often than not. Having said that, it'll be a very windy period for many especially those further north and west and there's still plenty of scope for this system to track further south which would not be good news.....unless you want damaging winds in your area.
Depending on your location, some varieties of trees are coming into leaf now so the more leaf coverage on a tree, the more surface area which in turn means more chance of branches and limbs coming down. However, I think it will be another week or two before that could be a substantial factor when it comes to dangers with high winds.
For example, there's a large mixed hedge of elder and whitethorn at the side of my back garden. The elder is sprouting its leaves and there's a hint of green now evident in the hedge but the whitethorn is only budding. A lot of the native trees are only budding now as well but just thought I'd mention the subject of trees coming into leaf (as it's happening a bit earlier than normal due to unusual heat a couple of weeks ago) because if we get further forecasted severe storms in the second half of March and into April, then leaf coverage could be a major factor regarding risk of life when classifying the severity of any given storm.

The success of the luxury sector is very much determined by the economic climate, political stability and competition within the market. Unlike other countries across the globe facing issues in some of these areas, the UK appears to be fairly stable and as such, could expect steady growth in the luxury sector in 2016. However it's important to note that those within the luxury sector have experienced some harder times than normal in the past few years and growth is going to be determined by those brands that are willing to adapt and change to ensure success.
The core challenge for luxury brands is the threat of increased competition, particularly in the form of new entrants to the market who have a narrow focus and a niche product or service offering. This threat means that existing luxury brands will need to reassess their brand identities and further focus their offering if they want to compete.
Trends expected in the Luxury Sector in 2016
Within London specifically, we expect a positive year for the luxury sector, particularly within the hotel and property industry. According to research from Property Week, enquiries for flexible office space rose by 21% and by 15% for non-flexible. Additional research from BCA suggests that the serviced office space contributes £2bn to the UK economy and this figure is only set to rise in 2016.
Additionally, the serviced office industry looks set to explore the business hotel industry as merging the two could offer luxury business clients a holistic offering to business travel.
If you are currently looking for a career move, we have some fantastic service office jobs and business centre jobs available. Contact The Change Group, Hospitality and Luxury Recruitment Agency, for more information about current luxury sector jobs.

The 2018 high school winter concert starts off with chamber orchestra, voice and wind ensemble
November 30, 2018
November 8 was an exciting date for the top musical groups of Monroe-Woodbury High School.
On this day, the MW voice ensemble, chamber orchestra, and wind ensemble, each conducted by Dr. Crone, Ms. Glazier, and Mr. Regan respectively, had their first concert of the year, the winter concert.
For many, this was their first experience in an advanced music group, causing some anxiety and concern.
However, these worries quickly faded as the groups began to perform.
The voice ensemble performed first followed by the chamber orchestra and the wind ensemble. All three groups left the audience in awe and mouths were agape when the wind ensemble ended the final, triumphant song of the concert.
"I think they all sounded phenomenal and really gave outstanding performances showing true musicality," said chamber orchestra violist, Sohan Saha.
This experience was also emotional for the many seniors in these musical ensembles, as it was their last winter concert at Monroe-Woodbury.
"It was emotional for me because all my senior friends were leaving," said Emily Schacher, a senior and veteran of the wind and voice ensembles.
Seniors could be found hugging family and friends or crying as they realized the immense importance this night will hold.
"It was a great concert because it gave us one last time to perform together," said Schacher.
