title: ".NET Machine Code Manipulation"
date: 2015-07-17
permalink: blog/dotNetMachineCodeManipulation/
---

This is the first entry in a series of blog entries describing [GrayStorm](https://github.com/GrayKernel/GrayStorm), a memory reconnaissance platform released at DEF CON 23. In this entry, I will describe how to overwrite a Method's Machine Code after Just-In-Time Compilation (JIT) with techniques implemented in GrayStorm.

## Introduction to .NET Machine Code

When an application is compiled, IL code is generated through implicit compilation. The .NET Framework will then generate machine code at runtime. The common language runtime (CLR) is used by the framework to generate assembly code from IL code. IL code is an independent set of instructions that are converted to native machine code at JIT. When a method is about to be executed, the framework uses JIT to generate assembly code that the CPU can execute by accessing a JIT stub.

For example, the snippets below show C# -> IL -> Machine Code

{% highlight C# %}

//C#

public static void testMethod()
{
    Random rnd = new Random();
    int randomNumber = rnd.Next(1, 1000);
    System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox.Show(randomNumber.ToString("X"));
}

{% endhighlight %}

{% highlight text %}

//IL

0000 nop
0001 newobj System.Random.ctor()
0006 stloc.0
0007 ldloc.0
0008 ldc.i4.1
0009 ldc.i4
000E callvirt System.Int32 System.Random.Next(System.Int32, System.Int32)
0013 stloc.1
0014 ldloca.s
0016 ldstr
001B call System.String System.Int32.ToString(System.String)
0020 call System.Windows.Forms.DialogResult System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox.Show(System.String)
0025 pop
0026 ret

{% endhighlight %}

{% highlight asm %}

//x86 asm

0x55 push ebp
0x8B mov ebp , esp
0x83 sub esp , 00000014h

{% endhighlight %}

## Utilizing Machine Code

The JIT process leaves the executable memory with rwx permissions. Because of this, an attacker can overwrite a method's memory at the machine code level. Note that even if the JIT didn't leave rwx, once an application is injected into another memory permissions could be changed with [VirtualProtect](https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa366898(v=vs.85).aspx).

In order to locate the address of machine code, Reflection can be used on a method. In order to perform this task, a MethodInfo object will need to be constructed to obtain the attributes of a method.

In GrayStorm, a TreeNode viewer located in hierarchyViewer.cs is used to traverse through an AppDomain. When a method is selected from the tree, a MethodInfo object is created and stored. When the targeted Method has been just-in-time compiled, the raw function pointer to the machine code can be discovered. If the method has not yet been jitted, it will be forced with *PrepareMethod*.

{% highlight C# %}

MethodInfo currentMethod = domainTraverser.currentMethod;
System.Runtime.CompilerServices.RuntimeHelpers.PrepareMethod(currentMethod.MethodHandle); //JIT the method!
IntPtr address = currentMethod.MethodHandle.GetFunctionPointer(); //obtain function pointer

{% endhighlight %}

The address IntPtr will now contain the function pointer to the executable machine code for a specified method.

Using this address, machine code can be read and written over.

## Writing Machine Code

To write machine code over a method, a byte array must be construed that would be suitable for the targeted method. The possibilities are endless here and the imagination of the attacker can come into play! For demonstration purposes, a simple return true payload will be used.

The method I will overwrite is returnStatement.

{% highlight C# %}

public bool returnStatement()
{
    return false;
}

public void trueOrFalse()
{
    if (returnStatement())
       System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox.Show("True");
    else
        System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox.Show("False");
}

{% endhighlight %}

The return true payload is as follows as will just return "1".

{% highlight asm %}

static public byte[] returnTrue = new byte[]
{
  0x31, 0xc0,       //xor eax, eax &
  0x40,             //inc eax
  0xc3  //ret
};

{% endhighlight %}

In order to overwrite a method with new machine code, the address of the targeted method will be referenced and overwritten with the returnTrue byte array.

{% highlight C# %}

public static void writeFunction(byte[] returnTrue, IntPtr targetAddress)
{
    for (int i = 0; i < returnTrue.Length; i++)
    {
	System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.WriteByte(new IntPtr(targetAddress.ToInt64() + i), returnTrue[i]);
    }
}

{% endhighlight %}

To see this in action, a video demo is prepared below:

[/resources/grayStorm/methodOverwriteDemo.mp4](/resources/grayStorm/methodOverwriteDemo.mp4 "videoDemo")

## Using This Chain

This chain opens up quite a few possibilities for attacking .NET applications post-exploitation. Machine code payloads can be constructed to steal parameters to methods and pass them along to logs/exfil (such as passwords, keys, e-mails, etc), change events (button presses, timers), overwrite core logic (password validation, licensing) and more. The bounds of this technique are up to the developer/attacker. Metasploit payloads can even be brought into play, given they handle parsing the PEB [correctly](http://www.tophertimzen.com/blog/shellcodeDotNetPEB/).

## Outside of Gray Storm

If you want to perform similar tasks without the use of GrayStorm a payload specific to your purposes can be created and injected into a target with [GrayFrost](https://github.com/GrayKernel/GrayFrost).

For demonstration purposes, the application we will attack is below:

{% highlight C# %}

namespace demoAttack
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main()
        {
            char again = 'y';
            while (again == 'y')
            {
                if (!worker.returnStatement())
                    Console.WriteLine("\nFALSE");
                else
                    Console.Write("\nTRUE");

                again = Console.ReadKey().KeyChar;
            }
        }
    }

    public class worker
    {
        public static bool returnStatement()
        {
            return false;
        }
    }
}

{% endhighlight %}

To construct an attack against the returnStatement method, the follow code can be used in an external program. Because we are constructing a payload before we have injected into the demoAttack program, a reference can be added to the executable from VisualStudio and Reflection can be done easier. To do this, simply right click on the project's References -> Add new Reference -> select target executable

![](/resources/grayStorm/attackDemo.png)

Reflection will now be a breeze as we can reference *demoAttack* directly as we have a reference to the namespace.

{% highlight C# %}

namespace attackingDemo
{
    class Program
    {
        public static void Main()
        {
            MethodInfo targetMethod = overWrite();
            System.Runtime.CompilerServices.RuntimeHelpers.PrepareMethod(targetMethod.MethodHandle); //JIT the method just incase it has not been
            writeFunction(targetMethod.MethodHandle.GetFunctionPointer());
        }

        static MethodInfo overWrite()
        {
            return typeof(demoAttack.worker).GetMethod("returnStatement");
        }

        static public byte[] returnTrue = new byte[]
        {
            0x31, 0xc0,   //xor eax, eax &
            0x40,         //inc eax
            0xc3         //ret
        };

        public static void writeFunction(IntPtr targetAddress)
        {
            for (int i = 0; i < returnTrue.Length; i++)
            {
                System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.WriteByte(new IntPtr(targetAddress.ToInt64() + i), returnTrue[i]);
            }
        }
    }
}

{% endhighlight %}

Once compiled, we now have an attack payload for our demoAttack. Bundling this executable into GrayFrost an injectable DLL will be created. Now while *demoAttack* is running and stuck in the "return FALSE" output, inject *attackingDemo* and it will change to "return TRUE". For demonstration, I have prepared a video using [GrayDragon](https://www.digitalbodyguard.com/graydragon.html) to inject GrayFrost into my target.

[/resources/grayStorm/attacking.mp4](/resources/grayStorm/attacking.mp4 "demoVideo")

Note: both applications were compiled in x86, but the same techniques work in x64 (with a x64 payload).

The mission of Arizona State University (ASU) is to provide access to a college degree for all qualified students in the Phoenix region. As a result of this mandate, ASU attracts a large and diverse freshman class: in fall 2013, ASU had 10,232 incoming first-year students, 39 percent of whom were members of racial and ethnic minority groups. The university's focus on student success has compelled leading faculty and staff in academic affairs to find innovative ways to help students identify majors that best fit their interests so they can successfully complete their degrees. To this end, we created eAdvisor, an advising solution based on developments in computer technology and data analytics.
Before launching eAdvisor in fall 2007, ASU organized its curriculum and majors by departments and schools. The academic catalog listed the departments and their affiliated courses in alphabetical order, from accounting to zoology, but only the rare student even attempted to read the entire catalog. This meant that students chose their academic paths with little notion of the full range of available options. They tended to follow the advice of high school counselors, parents, or friends instead of finding the best fit for their interests.
The degree search feature of eAdvisor changed how students identify majors. Using a key word search, students can enter a phrase (for example, "interested in people"), and all relevant majors will appear. Students can save these searches and compare degree requirements in various majors. For students who want to investigate a range of possible interests, ASU offers five exploratory majors—arts and humanities, social sciences, science and engineering, health, and business. Students can enroll in these majors until they have acquired forty-five credit hours, at which point they must select a more focused major.
Incoming students consult eAdvisor and meet with advisors (who are trained staff members) during orientation to discuss their degree choices. After students have chosen a major, eAdvisor provides a "major map" that outlines required courses and the sequence in which they must be taken. Students must take general education courses early in their academic careers, and must also enroll early in "critical requirements"—courses that diagnose their likelihood of success in the major. Before the advent of eAdvisor, students would often postpone taking the most difficult required courses, especially those with a mathematical focus. Consequently, they would run into trouble late in their degree programs, resulting in delayed graduation or even failure to graduate.
For example, a statistics course is a critical requirement for psychology majors. With eAdvisor, if a psychology major does not take statistics at the prescribed time or does poorly in the course, the student must see an advisor before he or she can register for the next semester's courses. The advisor talks with the student to determine whether a personal issue or an inadequate fit caused the poor performance. Students who go "off track" twice for academic reasons must choose a new major, using the degree search feature to find the best fit for their skills and interests. If the poor performance stems from nonacademic concerns, advisors direct students to appropriate university resources.
Thus eAdvisor helps the advisor as well as the student. The system contains official and up-to-date requirements for each degree, and it automatically matches the courses a student has taken with the requirements of their degree to map the shortest path to completion. With eAdvisor managing these data tracking tasks, the advisor has time to focus on tasks requiring human interaction, including counseling the student and building personal understanding.
ASU recently supplemented eAdvisor's degree search function to show career opportunities for each major. While students and parents are justifiably concerned about students' future employability, unemployment rates among college graduates are actually much lower than for those without a degree (Carnevale and Cheah 2013, 3). Importantly, a degree in any major improves employment prospects. Moreover, ASU's general education requirements prepare students in all majors to become life-long learners with strong communication skills, informed perspectives, and an understanding of other people.
Given that any degree improves employment prospects, it is best for students to choose their majors based on interest and talent. A good fit in these areas is more likely to lead to success and happiness. By showing students and parents the possible careers associated with each major, eAdvisor provides reassurance of a degree's economic value and enables students to follow their dreams.
The eAdvisor system has been particularly effective in improving success for racial and ethnic minority students and those who are the first in their families to attend college. Figure 1 shows the percentage change in first-to-second-year retention rates after eAdvisor's implementation, disaggregated by race and ethnicity, and figure 2 illustrates improvements in four-year graduation rates. Survey data also suggest that students are highly satisfied with eAdvisor and appreciate that it provides clear information about their progress to a degree, e-mails them messages when they are off track, and offers clear direction on their personal paths to success.
In addition to improving student success and satisfaction, eAdvisor has saved money for both the university and its students. Because eAdvisor provides information about how many students are in each major and where they are in their progress toward the degree, ASU can manage course offerings to match need—guaranteeing that seats in required classes are available for all students while teaching fewer classes for each graduate. Ultimately, eAdvisor saves ASU between $6.5 and $6.9 million dollars in instructional costs and about $7.3 million in advising costs each year. Similarly, by leading students to graduate sooner, eAdvisor saves each student an average of $24,500, the equivalent of one year's tuition and fees.
Finally and most importantly, ASU produces an average of one thousand additional graduates per year as a result of eAdvisor. These graduates, many of whom are members of less advantaged minority groups, are now enjoying the benefits of a college education, including the opportunity to pursue academic majors that best match their talents and interests.

Global food security represents an urgent contemporary global issue in policy and academic arenas, and President Kaler has identified it as a University of Minnesota priority. Questions of food supply, access, and quality, as well as the connections among food and economic, social, environmental, and cultural forces, demonstrate the necessity of an interdisciplinary approach. ICGC will connect fellowship recipients with a broadly interdisciplinary community of faculty and graduate students with interests in the global south and questions of social justice.
With the support of the Office of the Vice President for Research, ICGC will offer summer fellowships to support graduate student research focused on interdisciplinary approaches to global food security with a particular emphasis on questions of social justice. Fellows will receive financial support and will be invited to participate in ICGC's interdisciplinary seminars and research groups.
Fellowship Term: A summer fellowship will provide the recipient with a $5,000 award to be used toward the costs of research work during the summer of 2019. Three summer fellowships will be awarded in 2019.
ICGC Global Food Security Fellows must be undertaking research (the awards do not support coursework) focused on the global dimensions of food security, conducting projects with either international research or research in the U.S. related to global food security issues. Research making connections to food security issues in Minnesota, or supporting local students conducting food security research, will receive priority consideration, as will projects with an explicit social justice focus.
Application Process: Applications due on February 18, 2019, will enable students to apply for awards to be used starting in summer 2019.
(2) Letter of support from academic adviser (applicant should request that their adviser send the letter of support to icgc.umn.edu by deadline date). Letter should address relevance to global food security and significance of student research, student preparation and readiness for research and any other relevant factors.
We anticipate informing applicants of the outcome of their application in late March.


This is the outline for the camera we are going to use, there will be 3~4 layers for the "camera," basically, it will allow the background to move separately from the game screen, and allow the HUD to be independent of them both and just remain static on top of the screen.
The background will be built from few layers of images that will move separately from each other giving the game a feeling of depth.
the Game Screen will have the actual "moving" camera, and will show what is included inside of the camera. everything else will be there and be shown once the character is in that field of view.
for more information, and on here as we will try to update you as often as we can!


Abstract: The thermo-physical behavior of Myo-Inositol (MI), (a sugar alcohol), was investigated as a potential material for developing more compact solar thermal energy storage systems than those currently available. This latent heat storage medium could be utilized for commercial and industrial applications using solar thermal energy storage in the temperature range of 160°C to 260°C, if its thermal performance was modified. The objective of this investigation was to determine via experimentation, if Al2O3 and CuO nanoparticles dispersed in pure MI for mixtures of 1, 2 and 3% (by weight) improved the thermal performance of MI for solar thermal energy systems. Nanoparticles only physically interacted with MI, and not chemically, even after 50 thermal cycles. The distribution of CuO nanoparticles in the nano-PCM was found to be more uniform than alumina nanoparticles. After cycling, nano-MIs studied here suffered a lower decrease in heat of fusion than pure MI, which makes nano-MIs more suitable for solar thermal storage applications at 160°C to 260°C. Between CuO and Al2O3 nanoparticles, latter was found to be more suitable for compact solar thermal energy storage owing to an increase in melting point observed.

Current Facts and Figures
2001 Census and Area Profiles
The 2001 census was held on 29 April 2001, forms were delivered to households across the UK. (see example of census form (PDF, 574KB)). The census is a count of all people and households in the UK. It provides essential statistical information, enabling the planning and funding of public services, including education, health and transport. Results also support research and business.
The first British census was carried out in 1801. In that year the population count indicated that there were nearly 9 million people living in England and Wales and a little over 1,600,000 in Scotland (Ireland was not included until 1821). The census has been taken in the first year of the decade ever since (with the exception of 1941).
The census is managed by the Office for National Statistics.
The 2001 census put the United Kingdom population at 58,789,194 on census day (29 April 2001). The population of the North West region was 6,729,800, a fall of 210,500 from 1981. Whilst the population of former Cheshire County Council area grew to 673,800.
Macclesfield with 150,100 people was the largest district at the time within former Cheshire County Council.
2001 Area Profiles
The research and intelligence unit can produce area profiles covering the following topics:
Cultural background
Deprivation indicators
Family and households
Qualification and students
These profiles can be produced for a variety of geographies including county, localities, electoral divisions, super output areas and ad hoc areas. To request a profile please contact the Research and Consultation Unit using the contact details on the right.

Technologies that can't compete in the market place aren't ready for market, nor are they ready for our consumption. Subsidizing these not-ready techs is one way of plusing them up. Another way is to penalize their competition for being too successful.
New England [Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Vermont] already pays the highest electricity rates of any region in the 48 contiguous states because it has no fossil fuels of its own and has to import all of its oil, gas, and coal.
That's not strictly true; the Marcellus Shale holds more natural gas than you can shake a…drill…at, and a significant fraction of that lies under western New York. New York, though, is throwing every road block they can think of in the way of extracting the natural gas, which would give the Northeast a nearby, if not local, source of natural gas.
[f]or October, [a small business owner] had paid $376. For November, with virtually no change in his volume of work and without having turned up the thermostat in his two-room shop, his bill came to $788, a staggering increase of 110%.
The other is the lack of infrastructure: there are all of five pipeline systems in the region, with seven new systems proposed.
The six states' governors had agreed to a regional solution to this, involving building those additional pipelines.
the Massachusetts Legislature rejected the plan, saying in part that cheap energy would flood the market and thwart attempts to advance wind and solar projects. That halted the whole effort.
That halted the whole effort.
But, it's OK. Progressives and "environmentalists" have your back. And they have sharpened their knives.

The George Washington University has received nearly $496,000 in funding from the Council on Library and Information Resources (CLIR) to establish the D.C Africana Archives Project (DCAAP), a collaborative initiative to document African American and African diaspora culture, history and politics in D.C.
The 33-month grant was awarded to the Special Collections Research Center at the GW Libraries and the Columbian College of Arts and Sciences' Africana Studies Program in December through CLIR's Cataloging Hidden Special Collections and Archives program.
It was the largest awarded among those received by 22 universities, colleges, museums, libraries, and non-profit organizations.
"We at the GW Libraries are thrilled to partner with leading archives across the city to document the African American experience in Washington, D.C.," University Librarian and Vice Provost for Libraries Geneva Henry said. "This generous funding will enable us to provide research access to Washingtoniana collections from six institutions, while also integrating these materials into academic courses through a close collaboration with GW's Africana Studies Program."
The Special Collections Research Center at the GW Libraries and the Africana Studies Program will partner with the District of Columbia Archives, Howard University's Moorland-Spingarn Research Center, the Historical Society of Washington, D.C., the National Museum of American History's Archives Center and the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Library on the project.
Funding will be used to improve cataloging, arrangement and descriptions of more than 125 collections containing thousands of photographs, documents, audio recordings and films that chronicle the lives of D.C.'s black community. A centralized web database will be created to guide researchers, students and faculty through the collections.
"As resources for processing and cataloging backlogs of archival collections remain scarce, this grant provides an amazing opportunity for the partnering institutions to address significant portions of their collections," University Archivist Bergis Jules said.
Mr. Jules and Director of the Africana Studies Program Jennifer James will oversee the implementation of the funding. Project development will begin in the coming months.
The diverse wealth of historical documents held by GW and DCAAP partners traces the history of black life in D.C., from records of slavery and servitude, to the unparalleled legacy of trumpeter and composer Dizzy Gillespie and the political prowess of Sharon Pratt Kelly, the first black female mayor of a major U.S. city.
The majority of GW's DCAAP archival contribution is centered on famed civil rights activist Walter E. Fauntroy, a lead organizer of the 1963 March on Washington and D.C.'s first non-voting delegate to Congress.
"The range of documents in these collections is impressive, and many are exceedingly rare," said Dr. James, who is also an associate professor of English at GW. "We are confident that increased access will generate surprising discoveries about black life in D.C. and lead to new and ground-breaking research."
The funding will also be used to provide resources for community involvement, preservation workshops for small collecting institutions and the development of a model course on conducting archival research for high school students.
In addition, DCAAP will serve as an educational resource for students, faculty and researchers within the university community. Faculty in the Africana Studies Program will use the collections to develop interdisciplinary research projects, undergraduate courses and scholarly forums.
"We hope this grant will position GW as an intellectual center for this kind of work in the future," Dr. James said.

Everybody Must Get Stoned
Originally published in the New York Observer on January 10, 2007.
"Prime Green" was the color of the light rising from the horizon at Manzanillo Bay, flashing before Robert Stone in the autumn of 1966. Mr. Stone had come to Mexico for Esquire. His assignment was to find his friend Ken Kesey, who had become a fugitive from the drug police in San Francisco. Kesey was living in a complex of dilapidated concrete buildings several miles from the bay, alongside a crew of bohemians featuring Neal Cassady and his parrot Rubiaco. The neighbors were scarce; the beaches were empty; the marijuana was seeded but plentiful.
Esquire declined to publish Mr. Stone's account of the scene. In common with most editors at upmarket magazines, they wanted something to confirm their advertisers' stereotype of the bohemian as criminal. But Mr. Stone's memory of the visit to Manzanillo stands today for the exalted capacity for wonder and awe, the intensity of illumination available in "The Sixties" for those who knew how to find it. "In the moments after dawn, before the sun had reached the peaks of the sierra, the slopes and valleys of the rain forest would explode in green light, erupting inside a silence that seemed barely able to contain it. When the sun's rays spilled over the ridge, they discovered dozens of silvery waterspouts and dissolved them into smokey rainbows. Then the silence would give way, and the jungle noises rose to blue heaven. Those mornings, day after day, made nonsense of examined life, but they made everyone smile. All of us, stoned or otherwise, caught in the vortex of dawn, would freeze in our tracks and stand to, squinting in the pain of the light, sweating, grinning. We called that light Prime Green; it was primal, primary, primo."
Arriving at this gorgeous passage, I was reminded of the fine literary craftsmanship of Mr. Stone's early novels—in particular A Hall of Mirrors (1967), Dog Soldiers (1974), which won the National Book Award, and A Flag for Sunrise (1981). In those novels, as in the above passage, the author strikes up believable hallucinogenic moods and sympathies.
With equal fluency, the novels chronicle the cultural despair that accompanied the waning of the 60's. Mr. Stone's characters seem to me perfect antonyms of the "new man," a source of utopian energy in the American unconscious since Crevecoeur asked, "What then is the American, this new man?" and answered that he lived in "the most perfect society now existing in the world." The aspiration for a "new man," capable of infinite dialectical development, reached commanding heights in Emerson's "oversoul," William James' "possibility man" and Nietzsche's "overman."
The radicals of the 1960's, unimpressed with paeans to the perfection of their own society, returned the aspiration to its colonial roots by way of Frantz Fanon and Che Guevara's hombre nuevo. Dog Soldiers marked the end of all that. Mr. Stone showed soldiers and hippies alike regressing into primitive atavism, the "new man" giving way to the victim and the survivor, the exemplary characters of the 1970's and 1980's.
Prime Green: Remembering the Sixties begins in the summer of 1958, with Mr. Stone nearing the end of his service in the U.S. Navy. He'd enlisted at age 17 to escape the poverty and confinement of the hotel room he'd shared with his mother since he was a boy. (His mother, he says, taught school in New York, though he cannot say for certain that he ever learned her real name. His father's name he never even thought he knew.) After his discharge, he went to work in Brooklyn for a newspaper aimed at enlisted sailors, then took a job with the Daily News and attended classes at N.Y.U. In 1960, he quit college, moved with his wife to the French Quarter of New Orleans and sold encyclopedias in the outlying areas. One year later, he was back in New York, writing advertising scrap for furniture companies.
So it goes—so it went. Over the course of the decade, Mr. Stone flitted from place to place, job to job. A writing fellowship at Stanford introduced him to Northern California and Ken Kesey. In 1964, he went back to his beloved New York on a Greyhound bus. A group of sailors boarded at Chicago and beat him up at Highspire, Penn. He passed a few months at home, traveled to Paris—where he tried to find Samuel Beckett, for no reason that he can now recall—then returned to Manhattan and took a job writing headlines at a tabloid newspaper. There followed another temporary job, this one at an art gallery on Madison Avenue. At every point he made friends, took drugs and talked politics with leftists, in whose company he grew less confident as the decade clambered on. In 1968, he moved his family to London. Soon after, he went to Hollywood to watch Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward turn A Hall of Mirrors into a bad film. Finally, inevitably, Saigon.
Mr. Stone remembers it all with a mix of anecdote, commentary and deft description. Prime Green is excellent on almost every page—free of solipsism, in light of how many experiences he acquired "on the road," and yet equally free of cliché. "The changes … in politics and popular culture may have seemed more profound than they were," he writes. "They were attended by moralizing and vulgarity of all sorts, and they were very unsettling to many. We won a little and lost a lot, depending." The word "revolution" slips into the book on four minor occasions. This must be some kind of lowball record for a memoir of the 1960's.
About drugs he has a lot to say, and a lot to try to remember. Copious quantities of marijuana, peyote, heroin and LSD were consumed in his circle. That he and his friends represented the last generation to experiment with these elixirs is not lost on him. Mr. Stone's animus against the apparatus of drug control in America is hard to miss. Then again, the line between intense illumination and permanent bewilderment did not stay steadily in view in the freedom days, either. Of the group gathered in Mexico in 1966, he writes ruefully: "From the start, I think, the authorities in the state of Colima understood that there was more hemp than Heidegger at the root of our cerebration, and many of us had trouble distinguishing Being from Nothingness by three in the afternoon." Elsewhere, he notes that "psychedelia became more and more central to our concerns as time passed."
Our "concerns"? Yes, indeed. At a party in Los Angeles in 1969, Mr. Stone obeyed the fashion and sucked nitrous oxide from balloons, or rather from what he thought were balloons. After the revelers had gotten themselves good and gassed, one of their children bitchily pointed out what nobody else had noticed: The balloons were actually condoms. The child was irritated that the adults had restricted the minors to one balloon each. Which is probably not a bad rule, after all.

Dimensional changes during veneering procedures on discoloured teeth

Objectives: The aim of the study was to determine the dimensional changes of teeth when veneering procedures are involved. Methods: Fifteen discoloured central incisors were selected from a group of 180 veneer restorations (VRs) composed of three different types of materials (direct resin composite, indirect resin composite and porcelain). Impressions and dies were made before treatment, after preparation and after placement and finishing the restoration. Contact stylus profilometry and subsequent analysis of the 3-D surface images provided quantitative data of the differences between the various treatment phases. Results: The preparation reduction was the most for indirect resin composite VRs and the least for direct resin composite VRs. All veneer restorations showed nearly the same thickness and dimensional change after treatment, except one, which resulted in an additional increase of volume of the tooth. Conclusion: From the results of this study it is concluded that the dimensions of a discoloured tooth treated with a veneer restoration unintentionally increased, resulting in overcontour.

Opposition leader Rahul Gandhi's Congress Party is trying to undercut Modi's appeal by promising Rs 72,000 ($1,038) a year to each of the country's 50 million poorest families. The plan has a distinct resemblance to the $1,000-a-month universal basic income that businessman Yang, seeking a 2020 Democratic presidential nomination, has proposed for every American adult.
Modi's Bharatiya Janata Party has criticized the opposition for promoting policies it says will raise the tax burden on the middle class. In its own manifesto, the BJP pledged to cut taxes for middle-income families while promising a more modest Rs 6,000 a year cash transfer to all farmers.
The Congress Party's income supplement would cost 2 per cent of current GDP, once it ramps up. By then, sustained double-digit nominal GDP expansion will have lowered the program's cost to no more than 1.2 per cent to 1.5 per cent of GDP, according to the party's head of data analytics. However, if the extra purchasing power pushes up prices more than output, then politicians will almost certainly come under pressure to lift that initial $1,000 a year payment.
Even assuming that the government recouped some of the cost by taxing increased sales of goods and services and higher corporate profit, it would have to curb other subsidies and expenditure. Borrowing more isn't an option for India. Without a surge in household financial savings, which have ranged between 9 per cent and 11 per cent of GDP in recent years, having a public sector that eats up more than 8 per cent of GDP would place a very heavy burden on the private sector.
The long slide in workers' bargaining power in the West, and a decline in their share of national income, is well documented. Something similar has occurred in India too. Between 1981 and 1991, when the country was still sitting behind high barriers to foreign trade and investment, 32 per cent of the economy's value added went to labour as compensation, according to an International Labor Organization working paper. Creditors claimed 27 per cent as interest, and less than 21 per cent accrued to shareholders as profit.
However, in the 1990s, New Delhi began to slash import duties and relax license restrictions. The price of imported machines dropped. Workers were still cheap, but as globalization gathered pace, they became three to four times more expensive to hire relative to capital goods in 2010 than they were in 2000, according to University of Manchester economist Kunal Sen. This discouraged labour-heavy businesses and encouraged more capital-intensive enterprises. Between 2001 and 2013, labour's share of India's value-added dropped to 23 per cent, lenders' take fell to 12 per cent, and profit's share zoomed to almost 50 per cent.
