Bulletin Title: Consul Server Panic when Ingress and API Gateways Configured with Peering Connections
Publication Date: March 7, 2023
Affected Products / Versions: Consul and Consul Enterprise 1.14.0 up to 1.14.4; fixed in 1.14.5.
A vulnerability was identified in Consul and Consul Enterprise ("Consul") an authenticated user with service:write permissions could trigger a workflow that causes Consul server and client agents to crash under certain circumstances. This vulnerability, CVE-2023-0845, was fixed in Consul 1.14.5.
Consul cluster peering is a feature to support peering connections between two or more independent clusters so that services deployed to different partitions or datacenters can communicate. API gateways are a dedicated ingress solution for intelligently routing traffic to applications running in the service mesh, and are configured through the Kubernetes Gateway API Specification. Ingress gateways enable connectivity from services outside the Consul service mesh to services inside the mesh, and are configured using configuration entries. These configurations are transpiled and then sent to Envoy using xDS through the Consul server or client agent.
During internal testing, we observed it was possible to crash the Consul server or client agent hosting the xDS connection to an API gateway or ingress gateway by configuring upstreams to reference a peering destination.
To exploit this vulnerability, an attacker requires access to an ACL token with service:write permissions, and there needs to be at least one running ingress or API gateway that is configured to route traffic to an upstream service. For more information on cluster peering, see the documentation.
Customers should evaluate the risk associated with this issue and consider upgrading to Consul 1.14.5, or newer.
This issue was identified by the Consul engineering team.
We deeply appreciate any effort to coordinate disclosure of security vulnerabilities. For information about security at HashiCorp and the reporting of security vulnerabilities, please see _URL_

A Look At Shaker Woodworking
What it takes to be Shaker
The first Shakers came to America from England in 1774. Following them from the outside world, they recruited members to live and work in self-sufficient, communal settlements. By the early 1800s there were 18 Shaker communities in seven states.
Shakers became known in the world outside their settlements for excellence in whatever they grew or made, especially their furniture. In keeping with the Shakers' unadorned lifestyle, they built purely functional pieces devoid of ornamentation. Yet their furniture displayed delicately constructed, graceful lines, and sensitivity to proportion reminiscent of Danish modern or Scandinavian-style furniture of the 20th century.
The 1830s marked Shaker furniture's Golden Age. But they continued producing it, even commercially, into the early 20th century.
Native wood from the forest Shakers used local trees. Ash, basswood, birch, butternut, cherry, white pine, and sugar maple (especially figured) were common in New England settlements. Beech, chestnut, yellow poplar, and walnut were added in Kentucky and Ohio. Fruitwood (apple, pear, etc.) was used widely for pulls.
Finishes varied with the stock Because several woods went into chest of drawers, cabinets, and tables, these types of furniture were painted. In the early 19th century the paint was opaque. Later, it was a wash through which the grain was visible with varnish as a top coat. Chairs and rockers made of only one kind of wood were varnished or shellacked after staining. Darker hardwoods, such as cherry, were finished with linseed oil.
Joinery that stayed together The Shakers invented the tongue-and-groove cutting machine, so they employed it to edge-join boards. Splined grooves, butt joints, lap joints, through tenons (wedged and keyed), and dadoes for shelving were favorite joinery methods. Dovetails are the most observable construction feature. They were used for their strength and durability rather than for appearance.
Details didn't decorate Shaker case goods featured drawers, usually combined with larger storage spaces covered by frame-and-panel doors. Except for a restrained top-edge molding in cove, quarter-round, or bullnose shape, case goods were simple. They sat directly on the floor, had cut feet, or applied legs.
Side chairs, hung on wall pegs when not in use, were light and graceful with plain turned stiles, legs, and stretchers. Finials at the top of the stiles were intended as handles to lift the chair, not as decoration. The bottom of the back legs usually had turned tilters (early Shaker) that protected the floors. Later, tilters were commonly made of brass.
Rocking chairs had finials atop their stiles, too, or a plain crossbar on which to hang a pillow. On the top of the front arms were mushroom-shaped, wooden tenon covers. Chair and rocker seats featured woven wood splints, rush, leather, cane, and, after 1830, colorful cloth tape made on special looms.
Trestle tables were known for gracefully arched feet (on small tables, too). A raised stretcher beneath the top added leg room for seating comfort.

What is a 3G pitch? And how about 4G or 5G?
A question we get asked frequently here at McArdle Sport Tec, is "What is a 3G pitch?".
With all the buzzwords being thrown around in the industry these days, we can understand the confusion.
So, what does 3G stand for?
To explain it simply, 3G is short for Third Generation.
Third Generation (3G) surfaces are the newest generation of artificial turf and are referred to as one of the major recent innovations in football. They are designed to offer similar playing characteristics to playing on natural turf, mimicking the ball bounce and ball roll. Read more details about what makes these pitches so effective here.
What sets a 3G pitch apart from older generation synthetic pitches?
A 3G surface is created using a blend of grass-like fibres attached to a special backing. Unlike older style synthetic pitches which were filled with sand, 3G pitches are filled with sand as well as rubber granules. The rubber helps to keep the turf pile upright and makes the surface less abrasive when in contact with skin, resulting in fewer friction burns – which is fantastic for players.
Prior to 3G pitches being developed there were 1G and 2G pitches. 1G pitches are non-infilled surfaces, also known as astroturf, and 2G pitches are sand-based pitches primarily used for hockey.
And what qualifies a pitch to be branded as 3G?
To become an accredited 3G pitch, the surface must meet the RFU or FIFA's stringent guidelines. Each pitch will be tested by an accredited 'Field Testing and Certification' body and retested on a periodic basis to ensure the facility complies with mandatory governing body standards.
How about 4G and 5G surfaces?
The FA's Third Generation Football Turf Guidance state "At the moment there is no such thing as 4G or 5G." These are marketing terms used by companies Some manufacturers may promote non-infilled products, but these have not received acceptance as a suitable football surface and often struggle to satisfy FIFA requirements.
Some organisations offering these 'latest generation surfaces' may not be able to offer the appropriate accreditation for the pitch facility. McArdle build and install our artificial pitches in full accordance with SAPCA (Sport and Play Construction Association) and Sport England guidelines. We work closely with our clients to make sure we stay focused on their specific needs and always fully comply with FIFA, FIH, RFU, World Rugby and IAAF requirements.
Why should I choose a 3G pitch?
3G pitches are widely considered to have revolutionised football and rugby. The pitches are extremely durable and proven to perform well for high-level rugby training. Research commissioned by FIFA also concluded that the game of football didn't change significantly when played on a 3G pitch compared to natural grass, and also found that there were no significant differences in the types or number of injuries between these two surfaces – proving that 3G surfaces are doing their job well in imitating natural grass sports pitches.
For further information, or to discuss a possible 3G pitch project, call our friendly sales team on 01491 827810 Ext 1, or send us a message with any queries you have and we would be happy to help.

Exocrine pancreatic insufficiency in the Eurasian dog breed - inheritance and exclusion of two candidate genes
Research output: Contribution to journal › Journal article › Research › peer-review
Exocrine pancreatic insufficiency is considered an inherited disease in several dog breeds. Affected dogs show polyphagia, weight loss and voluminous faeces of light colour due to the lack of pancreatic enzymes. In the study described herein, we performed a segregation analysis using the SINGLES method for three families of the Eurasian dog breed. Our data were consistent with an autosomal recessive mode of inheritance. In addition, we performed a linkage analysis in these families using four microsatellite markers on CFA3 and two microsatellites on CFA23. Based on our results, we excluded the canine orthologs of the human cholecystokinin (CCK) and the cholecystokinin A receptor (CCKAR) genes as candidates for exocrine pancreatic insufficiency.

Does How Fast You Eat Influence How Much You Weigh?
G. Douglas Andersen, DC, DACBSP, CCN
In a recent study, Japanese researchers were curious as to whether how fast a person eats has any effect on how much they weigh.1 Although Japan does not have the same level of obesity seen in the United States, its population has been gaining weight steadily over the past few decades.
Government employees in central Japan volunteered for the study. Each received a physical examination and was weighed, measured and surveyed with an extensive questionnaire regarding diet and lifestyle. Among the many questions study participants were asked included how much they weighed at age 20. Unknown to the subjects, a single multiple-choice question was the basis for the entire study: How fast is your rate of eating? Subjects selected from among the following responses: very slow, relatively slow, medium, relatively fast, or very fast.
Of the more than 5,000 employees surveyed, 3,737 men and 1,005 women met the inclusion criteria. Age ranged from 35 to 69. The mean age of males was 48; females 46. Results were as follows:
TABLE 1 Men – 3,337
TABLE 2 Women – 1,005
In this study, there was a clear relationship between speed of eating and body weight, as demonstrated by the results in tables 1 and 2 above. The questionnaire also revealed a correlation between speed of eating and quantity of food consumed. (Faster eaters consumed more calories.) There were some limitations in this study: Body weight at age 20 was estimated by the subjects, as was their speed of eating; and the people in this sample were all middle-aged Japanese citizens. Therefore, this does not necessarily mean these results would be duplicated in other groups. It does, however give us something to discuss at the dinner table.

Gibraltar has become the world's first Wikipedia City. At a press conference on Wednesday morning, Minister for Tourism, Neil Costa, delivered a presentation on the online Gibraltarpedia project.
Gibraltarpedia involves a multi-lingual online Wikipedia pack on the Rock's rich flora, history and culture. The idea for this project came from local Wikipedian, Tyson Lee Holmes, who read about the first Wikipedia town in Wales. Monmouthpedia is a comprehensive Wikipedia page-based record of its own cultural heritage. Professor Clive Finlayson has since been working with the Tourist Board and with Wikimedia UK to make Gibraltar the world's first Wikipedia City.
The articles will be written by a mix of locals, academics, historians and Wikipedians from around the globe. Minister for Tourism, Neil Costa, said the project would revolutionise the way we narrate our culture and demonstrate our cross-section of different communities in a virtual way.
It's estimated that nearly 500 million people a month will have access to all this information on Gibraltar. The process of creating WiFi hotspots on the Rock is underway and Gibraltarpedia applications will be available for download on smartphones. This will make the articles accessible to visitors at different tourist attractions.

mapping all five binds.
There are several scenarios where optional binds may be useful:
 - A service may have some default functionality which may be overridden at load-time by mapping an optional binding. Perhaps you have some kind of artifact repository service that, in the absence of a "remote-store" bind stores data on the local filesystem. However, if remote-store is bound to an appropriate S3 API-compatible service, such as Minio, it could modify its behavior to store data remotely.
 - A service can be optionally bind to a service to unlock additional features. For example, say you have an application that may run with or without a caching layer. You can model this using an optional bind named (say), "cache". If you wish to run without the caching functionality enabled, you can start the service without specifying a service group mapping for the "cache" bind. Since the bind is optional, it is not needed for Chef Habitat to run your service. However, if you do wish to run with the caching enabled, you can specify a service group mapping, e.g. hab svc load acme/my-app --bind=cache:redis.prod. In this scenario, your service's configuration can pull configuration values from the redis.prod service group, enabling it to use Redis as a caching layer.
 - A service may can optionally bind one of several services; if bind "X" is mapped, operate this way; if "Y" is mapped, operate that way. An application that could use either a Redis backend or a PostgreSQL backend, depending on the deployment scenario, could declare optional "redis" and "postgresql" bindings, and pick which one to map at service load-time. If this is your use case, Chef Habitat does not have a way to encode the fact that "one and only one of these optional bindings should be mapped", so you will have to manage that on your own.
Service Start-up Behavior
Prior to Chef Habitat 0.56.0, if the service group that you bound to was not present in the Supervisor network census, or had no live members, your service would not start until the group was present with live members. While this can be desirable behavior in some cases, as with running certain legacy applications, it is not always desirable, particularly for modern microservice applications, which should be able to gracefully cope with the absence of their networked dependencies.
With 0.56.0, however, this behavior can be modified using the new runtime service option --binding-mode. By setting --binding-mode=relaxed when loading a service, that service can start immediately, whether there are any members of a bound service group present or not. (Setting --binding-mode=strict will give you the previous, start-only-after-all-bound-groups-are-present behavior. This is also the current default, though relaxed will be the eventual default for Chef Habitat 1.0.0.). Such a service should have configuration and lifecycle hook templates written in such a way that the service can remain operational (though perhaps with reduced functionality) when there are no live members of a bound service group present in the network census.
The Difference Between Required Binds, Optional Binds, and Binding Mode
While there is a bit of overlap in these concepts, they are distinct. It's best to think of required and optional binds as defining "how applications can be wired together" (specifically, which "wires" must be connected in order to provide the minimal amount of information needed to run a service). Binding mode, on the other hand, defines how the application's start-up behavior is affected the presence or absence of its networked dependencies.
Another useful thing to keep in mind when thinking about required and optional binds is that service group mappings currently cannot be dynamically changed at runtime. They can only be changed by stopping a service, reloading the service with a new set of options, and then starting it up again. This constraint (which may change in future versions of Chef Habitat) may help guide your choice between what should be a required bind, and what should be optional, particularly when using the relaxed binding mode.
Using Runtime Binds with Consumer Services
Once you've defined both ends of the contract, you can leverage the bind in any of your package's hooks or configuration files. Given the two example services above, a section of a configuration file for session-server might look like this:
{{~#each bind.database.members as |member|}}
database = "{{member.sys.ip}}:{{member.cfg.port}}"
database-secure = "{{member.sys.ip}}:{{member.cfg.ssl-port}}"
{{~/each}}
Here, bind.<BINDING_NAME> will be "truthy" (and can thus be used in boolean expressions) only if the bind has been satisfied, and bind.<BINDING_NAME>.members will be an array of only active members.
(Prior to Chef Habitat 0.56.0, bind.<BINDING_NAME> was always present, and bind.<BINDING_NAME>.members had all members, even ones that had left the Supervisor network long ago. This necessitated using the eachAlive helper function, instead of just each.)
Starting a Consumer Service
Since your application server defined database as a required bind, you'll need to provide the name of a service group running a package which fulfills the contract using the --bind parameter to the Supervisor. For example, running the following:
$ hab svc load <ORIGIN>/<NAME> --bind database:amnesia.default
would create a bind aliasing database to the amnesia service in the default service group.
The service group passed to --bind database:{service}.{group} doesn't need to be the service amnesia. This bind can be any service as long as they export a configuration key for port and ssl-port.
You can declare bindings to multiple service groups in your templates by using the --bind option multiple times on the command line. Your service will not start if your package has declared a required bind and a value for it was not specified by --bind.
Plan Builds
Packages need to be signed with a private origin key at buildtime. Generate an origin key pair manually by running the following command on your host machine:
$ hab origin key generate <ORIGIN>
The hab-origin subcommand will place the origin key files, originname-timestamp.sig.key (the private key) and originname-timestamp.pub files (the public key), in the $HOME/.hab/cache/keys directory. If you're creating origin keys in the Studio container, or you are running as root on a Linux machine, your keys will be stored in /hab/cache/keys.
Because the private key is used to sign your artifact, it should not be shared freely; however, if anyone wants to download and use your artifact, then they must have your public key (.pub) installed in their local $HOME/.hab/cache/keys or /hab/cache/keys directory. If the origin's public key is not present, Chef Habitat attempts to download it from the Builder endpoint specified by the --url argument (_URL_ by default) to hab pkg install.
Passing Origin Keys into the Studio
The Habitat Studio is a self-contained and minimal environment, which means that you'll need to share your private origin keys with the Studio to sign artifacts. You can do this in three ways:
 1. Set HAB_ORIGIN to the name of the origin you intend to use before entering the Studio:
xport HAB_ORIGIN=originname
This approach overrides the HAB_ORIGIN environment variable and imports your public and private origin keys into the Studio environment. It also overrides any pkg_origin values in the packages that you build. This is useful because you can use it to build your own artifact, as well as to build your own artifacts from other packages' source code, for example, originname/node or originname/glibc.
 1. Set HAB_ORIGIN_KEYS to the names of your origins. If you're using more than one origin, separate them with commas:
xport HAB_ORIGIN_KEYS=originname-internal,originname-test,originname
This imports the private origin keys, which must exactly match the origin names for the plans you intend to build.
 1. Use the -k flag (short for "keys") which accepts one or more key names separated by commas with:
ab studio -k originname-internal,originname-test enter
This imports the private origin keys, which must exactly match the origin names for the plans you intend to build.
After you create or receive your private origin key, you can start up the Studio and build your artifact.
Interactive Build
Any build that you perform from a Chef Habitat Studio is an interactive build. Studio interactive builds allow you to examine the build environment before, during, and after the build.
The directory where your plan is located is known as the plan context.
 1. Change to the parent directory of the plan context.
 2. Create and enter a new Chef Habitat Studio. If you have defined an origin and origin key during ha

One of the configuration variables we can find in the solrconfig.xml file is maxBooleanClauses, which specifies the maximum number of boolean clauses that can be combined in a single query. The question is, do I have to worry about it when using filters in Solr? Let's try to answer that question without getting into Lucene and Solr source code.
Let's assume that we have the following query we want to change:
q=category:1 AND category:2 AND category:3... AND category:2000
Sending such a query to the Solr instance with the default configuration would result in the following exception: "too many boolean clauses". Of course we could modify the maxBooleanClauses variable in solrconfig.xml file and get rid of the exception, but let's try do it the other way:
Let's change the query to use filters
So, we change the above query to use filters – the fq parameter:
q=*:*&fq=category:(1 2 3... 2000)
We send the query to Solr and … and again the same situation happens – exception with the "too many boolean clauses" message. It happens because Solr has to "calculate" filter content and thus run the appropriate query. So, let's modify the query once again:
Final query change
After the final modification our query should look like this:
After sending such a query we will get the search results (of course if there are documents matching the query in the index). This time Solr didn't have to run a single, large boolean query and that's why we didn't exceed the maxBooleanClauses limit.
To sum up
As you can see the answer to the question asked in the begining of the post depend on the query we want to run. If our query is using AND boolean operator we can use fq parameter because multiple fq parameters are concatenated using AND. However if we have to use OR we would have to change the limit defined by maxBooleanClauses configuration variable. But please remember that changing this limit can have a negative effect on performance and memory usage.

New Campus 0.6-m Telescope
On February 22, 2020 a new 0.61-m telescope was installed in the campus observatory on the top of the Eyring Science Center. This is a new state-of-the-art PlaneWave CDK24 telescope. It is currently in the process of being commissioned to make it a fully robotic system. This telescope will support undergraduate student research, the observational astronomy class (Phscs 329), and potentially the descriptive astronomy class (Phscs 127). Early test targets will include transiting planet candidates from the NASA TESS satellite and pulsating variable stars.

We prove the following results. (1) If M(P) is the space of maps of the pseudo-arc into itself with the sup metric, then the subset H(P) of maps of the pseudo-arc into itself which are homeomorphisms onto their images is a dense Gs in M(P). (2) Every homeomorphism of the pseudo-arc onto itself is a product of e-homeomorphisms. (3) There exists a nonidentity homeomorphism of the pseudo-arc with an infinite sequence of pth roots. (4) Every map between chainable continua can be lifted to a homeomorphism of pseudo-arcs.

Tracking Planes with an ESP8266
While there are apps that will display plane locations, [squix78] wanted to build a dedicated device for plane spotting. The ESP8266 PlaneSpotter Color is a standalone device that displays a live map with plane data on a color TFT screen. This device expands on his PlaneSpotter project, adding a color display and mapping functions.
First up, the device needs to know where planes are. The ADS-B data that is transmitted from planes contains useful data including altitude, velocity, position, and an identifier unique to the aircraft. While commercial services exist for getting this data, the PlaneSpotter uses ADS-B Exchange. You can set up a Raspberry Pi to record this data, and provide it to ADS-B Exchange.
With the plane data being received from the ADS-B Exchange API, it's time to draw to the screen. The JPEGDecoder fork for ESP8266 is used for drawing images, which are fetched from the MapQuest API as JPEGs.
Finally, geolocation is needed to determine where in the world the PlaneSpotter is. Rather than adding a GPS module, [squix78] went with a cheap solution: WiFi geolocation. This uses identifying information and signal strengths from nearby WiFi access points to determine location. This project uses a public API by [Alexander Mylnikov], which returns a JSON object with longitude and latitude.
This project demonstrates what the ESP8266 is capable of, and brings together some neat techniques. If you're looking to geolocate or display maps on an ESP8266, the code is available on Github.

Montana Schools E-Learning Consortium
Senate Bill 170, signed into law by Montana Governor Brian Schweitzer on March 30, 2005, changed the instruction requirements for homeschool students. Prior law required the homeschool to provide at least 180 days of pupil instruction, or the equivalent in hours, as required for public schools. The new law eliminates the days of instruction requirement and substitutes the "minimum aggregate hours" established for public schools. The revised law requires 720 hours of instruction per year for grades 1–3 and 1,080 hours for grades 4–12. Graduating seniors are only required to complete 1,050 aggregate hours in their final year of high school. Only 360 aggregate hours of pupil instruction must be conducted for a kindergarten program. The school fiscal year begins on July 1 and ends on June 30.
Parents are still required to maintain attendance records under the revised law. They also should log the number of hours of instruction in order to document compliance with the new requirements.

The fastest speed that a bobsleigh can reach is roughly 135 kilometers, or 84 miles per hour. This speed depends on how many people are in a team, but in most situations four-man bobsledding teams can travel faster than two-man teams.
Apart from the number of people on a bobsledding team, the greatest factor that determines speed is the momentum gained at the start. A fast start can result in seconds saved over the length of the course. Four-man bobsledding teams have the ability to go faster because they have two additional sledders to provide extra weight and thrust. Apart from this, steering also plays a major role in the speed of a bobsleigh because any drifting can slow down the bobsleigh considerably.

Many Hauntings of St. George's Cathedral
Many hauntings are associated with the apparitions of St. George's Cathedral, the Grey Lady, the organist, laughing lady ghost and the lost soldier.
St. George's Cathedral, Cape Town, South Africa was built in 1901, the cathedral is said to be haunted by many ghosts. Who exactly the ghost who wears a long, grey robe while walking the cathedral's halls and corridors making strange noises and creating cold spots in the cathedral remains a legend that has persisted over the years and continues to add to the mystique and history of St. George's Cathedral.
Ghostly history of St. George's Cathedral.
One of the most common legends is that the Grey Lady is actually the ghost of Bishop Robert Gray, who served as the first bishop of Cape Town from 1847 until 1872. Some people believe that Gray's spirit still lingers in the cathedral, and that he appears as a grey figure in clerical robes. Gray died in 1872, and he was buried in the grounds of St. George's Cathedral in Cape Town, which he had helped to establish.
The second legend who is said to be the Grey Lady, is Bishop Gray's wife, Sophia, who died in 1871. According to this legend, Sophia's spirit is said to haunt the cathedral, dressed in a long grey dress.
A third legend tells of a bride who was supposed to be married in the cathedral many years ago, but who never arrived. Some people believe that the Grey Lady is the ghost of this bride, who died tragically on her way to the wedding.
The final legend of the Grey Lady of St. George's Cathedral tells of a soldier's wife who died during a siege of the cathedral many years ago. Her husband was away at war, and she was left alone in the cathedral with their child. Some people believe that her spirit still haunts the cathedral, and that she appears as a grey figure holding a child.
St. George's Cathedral in Cape Town, South Africa has several other ghost stories, there is a story of an organist who worked in the cathedral many years ago. It is said that he died while playing the organ and that his ghost can still be heard playing it late at night.
There is also a story of a ghost that is said to haunt the cathedrals Lady Chapel. This ghost is known for its eerie laughter, which can be heard echoing through the chapel.
Yet another ghost story associated with St. George's Cathedral is that of a soldier who is said to haunt the building. According to the story, the soldier died during a battle that took place near the cathedral, and his ghost can still be seen wandering the halls.

Collegeville Connections | Metaphor as a Tool for Discernment
Document Type
Publication Date
How do individuals and churches collectively discern what choices to make? And how can metaphors, such as pottery, help with the process?
In Fall 2020, the Collegeville Institute's Communities of Calling Initiative gathered leaders from the 13 participating congregations for the virtual Treasure in Clay Jars retreat. Designed by project director Rev. Dr. Jane Patterson and program associate Jessie Bazan, the retreat invited participants to play with the metaphor of pottery as a way of reflecting on their individual and congregational callings.
In this Collegeville Connections presentation, Jane and Jessie will explore the value of metaphor as a tool for discernment and use the metaphor of pottery to reflect with some Communities of Calling Initiative participants about their recent experiences in congregational life.

Recovering Financially After Filing an Employment Lawsuit
Published on Jul 29, 2020 at 7:05 pm in Lawsuit Funding Information.
Calculator on red notebook
As an employee, you are entitled to certain rights—as established by the federal government. This means you are protected from discrimination, harassment, retaliation, and wrongful termination. In the event an employer breaches a federal anti-discrimination law, the employee has the right to file a lawsuit to seek compensation for their losses and suffering.
Filing a lawsuit not only ensures the opportunity to seek compensation, but it also holds the negligent party accountable for their actions. Unfortunately, employment lawsuits are often complex and can take a significant time to settle. Let's take a look at what recovering financially after filing an employment lawsuit looks like.
Understanding Employment Lawsuit Compensation
When you work with a lawyer on an employment lawsuit, they'll advise you as to what you are able to seek in regard to monetary recovery. Depending on your circumstances, you could be entitled to back wages, front wages, or consequential damages.
It's important to note that damage caps and available compensation varies by state and may be impacted by state laws. Your attorney will explain any applicable state laws to you.
Back Wages
Back wages are what you would have earned if the discrimination or harassment had never taken place. These are calculated by subtracting what you made after being fired, demoted, or harassed from what you made before.
While calculating back wages may seem straightforward, there is often some guesswork that goes along with determining a total. For example, back wages are calculated from the time the wrongful act occurred until the time you win at trial. Additionally, total wages lost can be dependent upon whether you earn any money from another source to replace what you lost from your job.
Front Wages
As opposed to back wages, front wages are what you would have earned if you had not been fired, demoted, or harassed. They start from the time after you win at trial until some point in the future beyond that.
A judge can award front wages in different situations. For example, if an expert, like an economist, testifies on your behalf regarding when you might be able to find adequate replacement income, the judge could award you front wages for that predicted amount of time.
Consequential Damages
Consequential damages refer to any money you had to spend as a result of being fired. For example, this could include out-of-pocket medical expenses, moving costs for relocation, or travel expenses. To successfully seek consequential damages, you'll often need evidence like medical bills, proof of payment, or other receipts.
Depending on the situation, consequential damages can also include financial damages suffered. When a person loses their job, that loss has the potential to damage their credit report if they cannot pay their bills. Your lawyer can show your credit rating dropped because of missed payments after losing your job. A damaged credit report can cost a person money over time in the form of higher interest rates and decreased borrowing power.
Managing Finances Amid Litigation
As mentioned, employment lawsuits can take time to resolve. If you're dealing with unemployment and job hunting while in the middle of a lawsuit, you could be struggling financially. Fortunately, personal injury lawsuit plaintiffs have the option of seeking legal funding.
At Preferred Capital Funding, we provide plaintiffs with the money they need to pay their bills and maintain their quality of life while dealing with litigation. A pre-settlement cash advance is different than a traditional bank loan in a number of ways. For one, we won't need to look at your financial records or employment history. We'll only need to verify that you've filed a personal injury claim and have a strong case.
In some states, cash advances for lawsuits are non-recourse. This means that the plaintiff only pays us back in the event they win their case. We absorb the risk, which reduces the possibility of the plaintiff falling into further financial trouble after a failed lawsuit.
Apply for Lawsuit Funding from Preferred Capital Funding
If you're interested in legal funding, consult with your attorney. They will need to be willing to work with us for you to be eligible for funding. The application process is simple. All you need to do is provide us with some basic contact information, details about your claim, and how much money you're looking to receive. A legal funding expert will review your case and discuss the matter with your lawyer. If you're deemed eligible for funding, you could have the cash you need in as little as 24 hours.
At Preferred Capital Funding, we understand the challenges of dealing with a lawsuit and we know how it can affect a person financially. To ensure you have the money you need to see your lawsuit through and hold your employer accountable for their negligence, contact us today.

Real plane curve
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
In mathematics, a real plane curve is usually a real algebraic curve defined in the real projective plane.
Since the real number field is not algebraically closed, the geometry of even a plane curve C in the real projective plane is not a very easy topic. Assuming no singular points, the real points of C form a number of ovals, in other words submanifolds that are topologically circles. The real projective plane has a fundamental group that is a cyclic group with two elements. Such an oval may represent either group element; in other words we may or may not be able to contract it down in the plane. Taking out the line at infinity L, any oval that stays in the finite part of the affine plane will be contractible, and so represent the identity element of the fundamental group; the other type of oval must therefore intersect L.
There is still the question of how the various ovals are nested. This was the topic of Hilbert's sixteenth problem. See Harnack's curve theorem for a classical result.

Sumner Presbyterian Church
A Brief History of the Sumner Presbyterian Church
This information is provided courtesy of Joe Hibbard, Pastor of the Sumner Presbyterian Church.
Prior to 1847 there were no regular Presbyterian Church services on the Puyallup River. Presbyterians took their wagons or rode horses to Steilacoom. Eventually a group from that church began meeting in the Puyallup Valley at Franklin (later changed to Sumner). The Reverend George W. Sloan preached in the valley occasionally. In the summer of 1874, the Reverend George F. Whitworth began preaching once a month in the Liberty Schoolhouse, which stood at the corner of Wood and Main Streets. He also preached in private homes and organized a Sunday school.
The Presbyterian Church of Puyallup was organized in 1877 but met in Sumner. Later, those parishioners living south of the river withdrew and organized the Presbyterian Church of Puyallup. This congregation was not fully identified with Sumner until December 31, 1883, when it was incorporated The First Presbyterian Church of Sumner, Washington Territory.
In 1877 the membership numbered seven: Laura F. Mead, Susannah Thompson, Eliza Jane Meeker, Mary McMillan, Caddie Meeker and Elijah C. Mead. A new church building was started that year on West Main and was dedicated April 14, 1878. Reverend Whitworth secured funds from San Francisco, Portland and the East Coast. The church was built on a plot of ground given by John Kincaid two years before Sumner was surveyed. It was in this church building that Reverend Whitworth started Whitworth College. The building was used until 1911, when another facility was completed on the corner of Ryan and Academy Streets.
The town of Sumner grew and the building was remodeled in 1950 to provide room for the Sunday school classes. In 1972 the congregation moved to its present location at the corner of Washington and Valley Avenue. The building was built in four stages. Snelling Hall served as the sanctuary and the fellowship hall during the first six years. The sanctuary was built in 1978, the Willard Youth Building was added in 1989 and a new office, library and classroom addition was dedicated in early 2000.
Sumner Presbyterian Church has continued to serve the changing needs of the community. Sumner has changed from a rural farming area to a suburb of both Tacoma and Seattle and the church found itself changing and growing with the area. Evangelism and missions continue to be a major focus as the Session seeks to lead the church forward.

Definitions for capitonym
This page provides all possible meanings and translations of the word capitonym
A word that changes sound and meaning when the case is changed; a case-sensitive word.
Origin: capital + -onym
A capitonym is a word that changes its meaning when it is capitalized; the capitalization usually applies due to one form being a proper noun or eponym. It is a portmanteau of the word capital with the suffix -onym. A capitonym is a form of homograph and – when the two forms are pronounced differently – also of heteronym. In situations where both words should be capitalized, there will be nothing to distinguish between them except the context in which they are used. Although some pairs, such as march and March, are completely unrelated, in other cases, such as august and catholic, the capitalized form is a name that is etymologically related to the uncapitalized form. For example, August derives from the name of Imperator Augustus, who named himself after the word augustus, whence English august came. Likewise, both Catholic and catholic derive from a Greek adjective meaning "universal". Capital letters may be used to differentiate between a set of objects, and a particular example of that object. For instance in Astronomical terminology a distinction may be drawn between a moon, any natural satellite, and the Moon, to be specific the natural satellite of Earth. Likewise, Sun with a capital may be used to emphasise that the sun of Earth is under discussion.

I was solving a question from the Regional Math Olympiad (RMO) 2014.
Find all positive real numbers $x,y,z$ such that
Here's my solution:
These expressions are cyclic. Therefore all solution sets must be unordered. This implies that $x=y=z$.
Thus, $x=2014$ and the solution is
$$x=2014\quad y=2014\quad z=2014$$
Here's the official solution:
Adding the three equations, we get $$\frac1x+\frac1y+\frac1z=\frac3{2014}$$
We can also write them as $$2xz-2yz+1=\frac z{2014},\quad2xy-2xz+1=\frac x{2014},\quad2yz-2xy+1=\frac y{2014}$$
Adding these, we get $$x+y+z=3\times2014$$
Therefore, $$\left(\frac1x+\frac1y+\frac1z\right)(x+y+z)=9$$
Using $\text{AM-GM}$ inequality, we therefore obtain $$9=\left(\frac1x+\frac1y+\frac1z\right)(x+y+z)\ge9\times(xyz)^{\frac13}\left({1\over xyz}\right)^{\frac13}=9$$
Hence equality holds and we conclude that $x=y=z$.
Thus we conclude $$x=2014\quad y=2014\quad z=2014$$
What I wonder is if there is something wrong with my approach. If yes, what is it? If no, then why is the official solution so long winded?

 $\begingroup$ What exactly is a "solution set" and what does it mean for a solution set to be unordered? If a "solution set" is a set, then of course it is "unordered" because all sets are. Why would this imply that $x=y=z$? $\endgroup$ – littleO May 14 '18 at 10:48

 $\begingroup$ Any solution of $(x-2y)(y-2x)=0$, if permuted, results in another solution. That doesn't mean we can conclude that $x=y$. It just means our solution set is symmetric across the line $x=y$. $\endgroup$ – G Tony Jacobs May 14 '18 at 10:57

 $\begingroup$ That's still a claim that would require proof. $\endgroup$ – G Tony Jacobs May 14 '18 at 11:05

Consider the system of equations
$xy + z = 1, \quad yz + x = 1, \quad zx + y = 1$
These equations are related by cyclic permutations of $(x,y,z)$, but they are satisified by $(1,1,0)$ (and its cyclic permutations) when $x$, $y$ and $z$ are not all equal.
There are also solutions where $x=y=z=\frac{\pm \sqrt{5}-1}{2}$, but these are not the only solutions.
 - $\begingroup$ Ah. Of course. I didn't realize that. However, the question asks for positive reals. Could you provide an example where the solution set is wholly positive and unordered, but where the unknowns aren't equal? $\endgroup$ – DynamoBlaze May 14 '18 at 11:04

 $\begingroup$ How about the same left-hand sides, but they're all equal to $3$? Then every permutation of $(1,1,2)$ works. $\endgroup$ – G Tony Jacobs May 14 '18 at 11:07
As Mohammad Riazi-Kermani and gandalf61 show, you cannot conclude $x=y=z$ simply from the cyclic invariance of the system of equations. However, in this case you can make a simple argument that starts with an observation based on cyclic invariance, namely that you may as well assume $x\ge y,z$ (i.e., cycle through $(x,y,z)$, $(y,z,x)$ and $(z,x,y)$ and pick the one that starts with the largest of the three numbers).
If $x\ge y,z$, then $2x-2y\ge0$ while $2z-2x\le0$, so that
$${1\over2014}=2x-2y+{1\over z}\ge{1\over z}\implies z\ge2014$$
$${1\over2014}=2z-2x+{1\over y}\le{1\over y}\implies 2014\ge y$$
so we now have $x\ge z\ge 2014\ge y$. But this now tells us $2y-2z\le0$, so that
$${1\over2014}=2y-2z+{1\over x}\le{1\over x}\implies2014\ge x$$
so we now have $2014\ge x\ge z\ge 2014\ge y$, from which we see $x=z=2014\ge y$. The final equality, $2014=y$, comes by sustituting $x=z=2014$ into any of the three equations.
Note, the implication ${1\over2014}\ge{1\over z}\implies z\ge2014$ requires the assumption $z\gt0$.
The equations being cyclic does not necessarily mean the variables are equal.
For example $$ x+y+z=6\\x^2+y^2+z^2=14\\x^3+y^3+z^3=36$$ Solutions are not equal. $$x=1, y=2,z=3$$ is one solutions set.
 - $\begingroup$ This isn't cyclic. Cyclic would be $3x^3+2y^2+z=11,3y^3+2z^2+x=11,3z^3+2x^2+y=11$. What I mean by cyclic is that you can just shift the places of the variables one to the left or one to the right to get another one of the given equations. $\endgroup$ – DynamoBlaze May 14 '18 at 13:46
 - $\begingroup$ _USER_ Thanks for the comment. That is quite different from what I was thinking. $\endgroup$ – Mohammad Riazi-Kermani May 14 '18 at 14:09
 - 1
 $\begingroup$ _USER_ That's not the standard definition of "cyclic". $\endgroup$ – Acccumulation May 14 '18 at 17:40
The general cyclic system is $$ f(x,y,z)=f(y,z,x)=f(z,x,y)=0$$ with some function $f$. There is not the slightest reason to assume that $f(42,\pi,e)\ne 0$.
First, your use of the word "cyclic" isn't quite consistent with its usual meaning.
Second, a counterexample:
yz+x = 0
zx+y = 0
(1,1,-1) satisfies these equations.

Asian Self-Employment: The Interaction of Culture and Economics in England
Self-employment has grown disproportionately amongst South Asians. Today, one third of Asian men in paid employment are self-employed, compared to one fifth of white men. In some parts of the UK, Asian businesses are expanding more rapidly than those of any other group. Yet these positive trends mask a more complex and less optimistic picture than is commonly painted. There are sharp differences in levels of business success between various groups in the Asian community, and indications suggest that the remarkable growth seen over recent decades is losing its momentum, as the first generation British Asians encourage their children to move into professional and salaried careers.
This study offers, for the first time, a detailed comparison of different Asian communities, and challenges the common assumption that all Asian groups can be regarded as the same. Amongst its findings, it identifies:
- ways in which culture and religion could impact on entry into self-employment, on the development of the business and on satisfaction with self-employment
- how negative factors such as racism at work and 'dead-end jobs' have led to increased levels of self-employment
- barriers to success in business, and how specific problems are more prevalent amongst specific Asian groups
- the need to target assistance, and
- evidence that Asian self-employment may not continue at its current high rates.


Button group
Group a series of buttons together on a single line with the button group, and super-power them with javascript. Read the Official Bootstrap Documentation for a full list of instructions and other options.
Basic example
Wrap a series of buttons with.btn in.btn-group.
Button toolbar
Combine sets of button groups into button toolbars for more complex components. Use utility classes as needed to space out groups, buttons, and more.
Feel free to mix input groups with button groups in your toolbars. Similar to the example above, you'll likely need some utilities though to space things properly.
Instead of applying button sizing classes to every button in a group, just add.btn-group-* to each.btn-group, including each one when nesting multiple groups.

Abstract—Achieving race-free state assignments is an important objective in the synthesis of asynchronous sequential logic circuits (ASLCs). Traditionally, adjacency diagrams are used to help identify and resolve race conditions; however, this approach has a high degree of computational complexity. This paper presents an efficient state assignment algorithm that utilizes a pattern matching technique to predict races and to eliminate the need for enumerative searches. More specifically, the race-free state assignment problem is formulated as the embedding of a bipartite connected graph onto an n-cube and achieves a near minimum number of state variables. This algorithm has been evaluated using several representative examples. Results show that the developed algorithm provides better performance than existing algorithms. Due to the simplicity of the bipartite representation of an n-cube, the developed algorithm is suitable for ASLC synthesis that may involve a relatively large number of states.

A HIGHER ORDER THEORY FOR SYMMETRICAL GRAVITY WAVES. (1970). Coastal Engineering Proceedings, 1(12), 33. _URL_
Abstract
A higher order theory is presented for symmetrical, non-linear gravity waves As a consequence of the generality employed, the theory includes the full range of possible wave lengths, water depths and wave heights that may be encountered, and brings them into one unified formulation Thus, the theory encompasses both linear and non-linear waves, including Airy waves, Stokes waves, cnoidal waves and the solitary wave Based on the work of Nekrasov, a complex potential in the form of an infinite series is developed to describe the flow field The potential satisfies the bottom (horizontal) condition as well as the kinematic surface condition exactly Furthermore, the dynamic surface condition is satisfied by numerical calculation of the series coefficients which appear in the complex potential The calculation of these coefficients is accomplished by solving a set of non-linear algebraic equations, with the aid of a Newton-Raphson iteration procedure and matrix inversion Coefficients of the complex potential have been obtained for a fifth order analysis and preliminary results are presented in tabular form A brief discussion of the characteristics of the waves, including wave speed, wave shape and the height of the highest possible wave follows.

Converting VBScript's Rem Statement
Definition: Includes explanatory remarks in a program.
To add a comment to a Windows PowerShell script (or a Windows PowerShell command, for that matter) simply preface that comment with the pound sign (#); anything following the pound sign will be treated as a comment and ignored by the script processor. For example, this command calls the Get-Date Cmdlet and then tacks on a comment explaining what the Cmdlet does:
get-date # This Cmdlet retrieves the current date and time
When you execute this command you'll simply get back the current date and time; the comment will be ignored. That's also true with this command:
get-date # get-help
The Get-Date Cmdlet will be executed; the Get-Help Cmdlet will not. That's because, in this example, Get-Help is a comment, not a command.

Japanese Fire-bellied Newt
Japanese fire-bellied newt has a red stomach; hence some call it red stomach newt. It is one of the endemic species of Japan. It lives in slow current water, swimming and tangling itself to water plants. Its breeding season is April to July. The tail of the male turns bluish purple. The male makes his tail form of "S" and shake it in front of the female when courting. The female lays each egg in folded water plants.
When fire-bellied newts hatch, its gills are on the outside. During this period, it lives underwater but as it learns to breathe with its lungs, it gradually comes up on land. Until it becomes an adult, it only lives on land.
Fire-bellied newts can be found all over Kagoshima. On AmamiOshima you can also find swordtail newts, a subspecies of fire-bellied newts.

What role can Fundshop play in supporting entrepreneurship in Iowa? This report describes the current state of entrepreneurship and small business support in the heartland state, as well as fundshop's initiatives to foster entrepreneurial development. It then discusses the impact of these efforts on local businesses and explores some challenges that Iowa entrepreneurs are facing.
The Significance of Fundshop in Supporting Small Businesses
Fundshop's role in entrepreneurial development:
Fundshop is a nonprofit organization that provides microloans to Iowa small businesses. Since its establishment, Fundshop has provided more than $6 million in capital to more than 500 businesses across the state. These loans range from $500-$30,000 and are used for business expansion or working capital purposes (e.g., purchasing inventory). In addition to providing funds for new ventures, Fundshop offers training workshops on topics such as marketing strategies and financial planning for entrepreneurs who receive funding through their program. The goal being that these skills will help them grow their businesses successfully over time.
Fundshop's Initiatives and Impact on Entrepreneurial Growth
Fundshop's initiatives to promote entrepreneurship
The Entrepreneurship in Action program, which is an intensive four-day workshop that provides participants with the skills needed to start and grow a business. It also provides them with access to mentors who have been successful in entrepreneurship.
The Iowa Small Business Development Center (SBDC), which offers free consulting services for small businesses through its network of local partners across the state of Iowa. In addition, Fundshop employees act as resources for SBDC clients by providing advice on financial matters or helping navigate legal issues that may arise when starting up or growing a company.
Challenges and Opportunities in Iowa's Entrepreneurial Landscape
The entrepreneurial landscape in Iowa is one that needs to be improved. The state has a strong history of entrepreneurship and innovation, but there are still challenges ahead for small businesses in the state. One challenge is funding for local businesses. Smaller firms often have difficulty accessing capital because they don't have enough collateral or equity to back their business plans.
Future Prospects and Innovations in Small Business Support
In order for small businesses to thrive, we must embrace new ideas and technologies. Small businesses are the backbone of our economy, and they need the support of all levels of government in order to be successful.
Innovation is one area where Iowa can improve its entrepreneurial climate. We have seen great strides in this area with companies like Fundshop. Fundshop has created an online marketplace that helps individuals invest their money into local Iowa businesses, while also providing funding for those same businesses through small business loans in Iowa or equity investments.
I hope this article has given you a better understanding of the role that Fundshop plays in Iowa's entrepreneurial landscape. As I mentioned earlier, we're constantly looking for ways to improve our services and make them more accessible to small businesses in need of capital. If you have any suggestions or feedback on how we can do this better, please let us know!

I have a number of shared libraries calling each other (.so, ARM, Android), binary-only.
I want to add logging to some functions, funcA(), ..., funcZ() defined in libsomething.so. The functions are called from libstuff1.so, ..., libstuffN.so. I can rename a function in the original library (keeping the name in the same bucket is a bit tricky, but possible).
I want to either:
 1. Add an extra library to the dependency list of the calling library, that is, libstuff1.so originally referenced only libsomething.so, and I want it to reference both libsomething.so and libOneMoreLib.so.
 2. Or, add an extra function to existing library, e.g. in libsomething.so, I rename funcA() to funbQ() and define (that is, add) funcA() to print logs and call funbQ().
How can I do any of these?
3
The required shared libraries are stored as DT_NEEDED entries in the dynamic section of the executable. This entry, in turn, points into the dynamic string table. So, to add another library, you will need to do something like this:
 1. Parse the list of program headers and find the PT_DYNAMIC entry
 2. Map its p_vaddr back to a file offset using the other PT_LOAD entries. (you could use the p_offset field of the PT_DYNAMIC entry itself but it's not guaranteed to be correct.)
 3. Read and parse the dynamic section entries until you hit DT_NULL.
 4. Remember address and size of the string table (DT_STRTAB/DT_STRSZ). Note that it is a virtual address and needs to be mapped back to file offset using the PT_LOAD entries.
 5. Extend the string table with your library's name. You will probably need to find some other place for it since there's unlikely to be enough space at the table's end. If so, you may need to add another PT_LOAD entry to make sure it ends up in the process memory. This will mean shifting all file offsets of other entries. But let's assume you've done it.
 6. Go through the dynamic section again, and update all entries that point into the string table with the new addresses. Also update DT_STRTAB/DT_STRSZ.
 7. Now you can finally add a new DT_NEEDED entry for your lib, and another DT_NULL terminator after it. And hope the new DT_NULL did not overwrite anything important :)

 - Is there a library that can read the .so into memory, converting it into some data structures (like DOM parsers read XML), so that I could add one element to the list and write it back? Apr 21 '14 at 10:04
 - Haven't seen any.
 – Igor Skochinsky
 Apr 21 '14 at 12:48
 - Update: it seems PatchELF implements at least some of the necessary functionality, so you can try extending it, or submit a feature request.
 – Igor Skochinsky
 Apr 23 '14 at 13:42

A simple way there is. readelf -d libxyz.so all dependencies lists. One of these libraries extend or substitute you can.
1
I know it's not a direct answer to your question, but would something like LD_PRELOAD mechanism allow you to achieve what you want?
With LD_PRELOAD you can specify your library which is to be loaded and functions from that library will be used instead of ones in the original library. This is a common and simple way of doing function hooking on Linux systems.
Here is an example of using LD_PRELOAD to hook functions.

This delicate jewel of marine coral and African gold depicts intricately carved flowers emerging from a woven basket. This sort of naturalistic jewelry became especially popular in the mid-Nineteenth Century, especially in Italy where this bracelet was made. Coral's softness allowed for easy carving, but it could also be used in its natural form, taking advantage of the appeal of its natural branches in styles reminiscent of those from Asia and Africa.
Most of the coral used in Europe came from the sea near Naples, Italy, and the medium quickly became a favorite symbol of world travel around 1815.
