University Relations and Information Office fonds
The University Relations and Information Office was created in 1958 to publicize events at the University of Manitoba through various forms of media. Operating directly under the authority of the President, the Office prepared articles, press releases and public displays. The Office financed Alumni Association activities and publications such as the Alumni Journal. Eventually the Alumni Association assumed the public relations arm for University alumni while internal University news was covered by the Information Office through publication of the bi-monthly newspaper, The Bulletin. In 1960, secretarial staff was added to the Office, and the Public Relations Officer and Information Assistant became the Executive Director of the Alumni Association and Associate Editor of the Alumni Journal, respectively.

A cat that urinates inappropriately could have any number of conditions associated with the behavior, including lower urinary tract disease, kidney disease, urinary tract infection, and diabetes mellitus. It can also be a sign of arthritis, which makes it difficult for cats to get into the litter box.
If your cat is sleeping more than normal (keep in mind that average adult cats may sleep 16 to 18 hours a day–though much of that is "catnapping"), it could be a sign of an underlying disease.
Hallitosis is an early indicator of an oral problem–studies have shown that 70% of cats have gum disease as early as age 3.

Кодекс Лод (Codex Laud) — один з месоамериканських кодексів ритуального-календарного змісту. Є однією з небагатьох доіспанських рукописів, що зберігся за часів колоніального періоду. Отримав назву на честь Вільяма Лода, архієпископа Кентерберійського та державного діяча часів англійського короля Карла I. Натепер знаходиться у Бодлеанській бібліотеці Оксфордського університету. Входить до Групи Борджіа. Це приклад мексиканського мистецтва, культури, релігії і духовності. Оригінал закрито для всіх, окрім найшанованіших дослідників Мезоамерики, доступні лише факсимільні копії.

Історія
Створено наприкінці XIII або на початку XV ст. Автори невідомі. На думку низку дослідників створено індіанцями територій сучасних штатів Оахака або Пуебла, ймовірніше у м. Теотіллан. На думку інших — ольмеками, але під впливом ацтеків або тольтеків, про що свідчить присутність відповідних богів. В будь-якому разі автор походив з півдня Месоамерики (ацтекського прикордоння), оскільки був добре обізнаний про цивілізацію майя.

У 1623 році з Іспанії привіз спадкоємець англійського трону Карл (майбутній Карл I). Незабаром став власністю Вільяма Лода, який у 1636 році пожертвував кодекс бібліотеки Оскфордського університету. У 1966 році у Граці вийшло перше повне видання кодексу з коментарем Котті Берленд.

Опис
Папір вироблений з оленячої шкіри, яка оброблена білим гіпсом або вапняком. Має зигзагоподібну форму, що дозволяє йому складатися. Складається з 24 аркушів з обох боків (48 листів), розміром 15,7х16,5 см. Загальна довжина становить 3,98 м. Написано піктографічним письмом. На відміну від інших кодексів відсутні коментарі іспанською мовою. Шкіряні палітурки з кінців додані пізніше. Над ним працювали 2 художники у різні часи. Частини рукопису втрачено. Більшість малюнків знаходяться у відмінному стані.

Застосовані переважно чорні та сині фарби, частково червоні, у меншій мірі жовтні. Читається справа наліво.

Зміст
Становить 11 розділів, які розкривають етапи людського життя, діяльність жерців. Є важливішим джерелом з розуміння ритуалів корінних мешканців, їх релігійних уявлень, Центральної Мексики та календаря тональпоуаллі. Водночас присутньо багато знань про культуру майя.

Зображення включають тварин, які часто вказують дати, а також богів та монстрів. Дні були показані маленькими колами, що представляють сонце: великі цифри були написані в стилі майя у вигляді рисок і крапок.

Частина кодексу присвячена астрономії, тут надається опис затемнення Сонця, яке зображено у колі 9 божеств. Інша частина кодексу має кілька зображень, що стосуються смерті. Деякі сцени зображують людські жертвоприношення.

Danida Business Explorer provides financial support to Danish companies who wish to investigate a specific business opportunity in a developing country. The proposed project must address a development need in the developing country and must focus on contributing to the Sustainable Development Goals.
DKK 15 million has been allocated for new projects in 2018. Applications can be submitted throughout the year. When the DKK 15 million have been allocated to succesful applicants, DBE will close for the year.
Danida Business Explorer gives financial support to part of the Danish company's costs related to an investigation of a specific project in a developing country. The maximum financial support is 50 % of the total actual costs with a maximum of DKK 500,000. General market studies and analysis cannot be financed under Danida Business Explorer, and it is therefore assumed that the company has already identified a specific business opportunity.
The Danish company must have at least 1 million DKK in equity, have at least 5 full time professional staff, and the project must be part of the company's core business.
Danida Business Explorer is available in countries with a GNI below USD 3,995 per capita (The World Bank limit for Lower Middle Income Countries), and with a Danish representation. Danish companies can also apply for financial support to study the possibility of offering Danish solutions in humanitarian situations, in cooperation with humanitarian organizations. This applies in a number of countries where Denmark is engaged in humanitarian work.
For further information please refer to the Guidelines or the project database for Danida Business Explorer.
Questions can be addressed to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Denmark - Department for Growth and Employment (vbe@um.dk).

"Totally unethical and discriminatory": Mum blasts screening that has led to shocking 30% drop in Down's syndrome birthrate
More women who find out through NIPT that their baby has Down's syndrome have abortions
Shocking new statistics have revealed that the number of babies born with Down's syndrome has fallen by 30% in NHS hospitals which have introduced a new form of prenatal screening.
The mother of a 19 year old woman with Down's syndrome, Lynn Murray, has lashed out at the Government saying: "It is totally unethical and discriminatory for the Government to go any further with the roll-out of the tests given that data from NHS hospitals shows that these tests are leading to the reduction in the numbers of people from a specific community."
Screening people out
Figures published in The Times covering the period from 2013 (before the test was introduced in some hospitals) to 2017, show that more women who have the new test go on to have abortions.
The 26 hospital trusts that provided non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT) saw a change in the birthrate for babies with Down's syndrome from 1 in 956 births (0.11%) in 2013 to 1 in 1,368 (0.07%) in 2017, which is 30% drop in birth rate.
NIPT was rolled out despite opposition from people with Down's syndrome and their families, who said it would lead to babies with the condition being "screened out".
Lynn Murray said: "The figures released today show that the fears of the Down's syndrome community that rolling out these tests would lead to a large drop in the number of babies with Down's syndrome were not unfounded.
She called on the Government to halt preparations to further roll-out the tests on the NHS immediately and to undertake an urgent inquiry into the impact that these tests are having on birth numbers of babies with Down's syndrome.
"These figures show that providing the tests in NHS hospitals is leading to a large decrease in the births of babies with Down's syndrome," she went on.
Actress Sally Phillips, whose 15 year old son Olly has Down's syndrome, and who has been a vocal critic of the Government's prental screening programme welcomed the Times' report, saying: "Since for profit motives have entered the population screen arena it has proved tremendously difficult to hold them to account." In June, she told medics at the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists' 2019 conference that the introduction of NIPT was being driven by a global industry, estimated to be worth £4.75billion by 2025.
She said: "If making money out of testing that leads in most cases to termination is not a form of eugenics then I do not know what is."
Despite the outward acceptance of people with disabilities, and the efforts made to fully integrate them into society, it is clear that these eugenic attitudes are rife. Paralympian Tanni Grey-Thompson said today that strangers branded her "disgusting" when she was pregnant with her daughter.
"The first thing I was offered at my first scan was a termination because people were like: 'You should not have children'" she said.
"We had a discussion [with the medical staff] about if I was trying for babies and that individual had some quite complicated views on disability - [an attitude of] we might breed."

By visiting Wikipedia, you can see that landlord-tenant law is a part of the common law that details the rights and duties of landlords and tenants. It includes elements of both real property law and contract law. See populous acronyms and lyrics here.
U.S. Tenant-Landlord Law by State
International law has traditionally been the rule of law that applies between states, but today it also includes legal rules in relation to and between international organizations and to some extent also individuals. International law is a separate legal system, and not automatically a part of internal (national) law.
The sources of international law
There is no complete consensus on the philosophy of international law, and thus its sources and use. In the main, however, a positivist method is used, where the most central sources are treaties and customs. In common, then, one focuses on what the legal subjects have consented to, either through contractual agreement or practice.
Treaties are agreements between international law subjects, for example between two or more states (treaties between two states are often referred to as bilateral, while treaties between several are referred to as multilateral). Treaties are basically only binding on participating states. In addition, some treaties aim to enact already existing customary law, or gain such participation that they form the basis of customary law, and thus can become binding also for non-participating states (see, for example, the Convention on the Law of the Sea under sea law).
Customs law is established on the basis of practice and belief that the practice complies with the requirements set by the court. Non-participating legal subjects can also be bound here, but extensive and uniform practice is required. Thus, until the rule is formed, it is possible to prevent passage from practice to customary law by declaring that it contravenes the law, or even stand for dissenting practice. The requirements for education are also adapted to whether the custom is to be of a global nature or whether it is limited to, for example, a region.
In addition to these two main sources, common law principles recognized by all civilized states are also recognized, cf. Articles of Association of the International Court of Justice, Article 38, paragraph 3. They are also mentioned as secondary sources of jurisprudence and international law theory. It is clear that decisions in international organizations can also be important in determining the right.
The importance of international law in practice
International law and international society lack both mandatory legislative authority, mandatory courts and enforced authority. This is sometimes referred to as international law's lack of vertical structures, and constitutes one of the most obvious differences between international law and most national legal systems. Nevertheless, it is a fact that international law itself is claimed by the states themselves to be binding on them, and really or allegedly perceived by their authorities.
As regards, for example, compliance with agreements, it is strongly suggested that this is just as regular and, of course, between states as between individuals. Something else is that in one case, in the other case, deliberate breaches can occur, and that, when they occur between states, will easily have particularly noticeable and fateful consequences. However, recognizing the inadequacy of international law in such crisis situations should not lead to completely denying its existence.
Content of international law
International law contains rules both for peacetime and for armed conflicts. The first can be said to be one of its most important goals to harmonize international conditions so that armed conflicts are avoided, and include, among other things, attempts to completely prohibit the use of force in international relations without the authorization of the UN Security Council. The rules on armed conflict enter into force if such conflicts nevertheless arise, and are intended to limit the consequences of such conflicts. These rules for armed conflict apply regardless of whether such use of force was permissible under international law, and applies to all parties to the conflict.
The subjects of international law
As members of international law, only in the 19th century were Christian states counted; later all the states in the world have joined. Until World War I, there was also a firm teaching that only states could be subjects of international law, that is, have international rights and obligations. Gradually, it was also opened that organizations such as the League of Nations and the United Nations (UN) as well as various other international organizations could be legal subjects under international law.
The minority treaties after World War I, as well as the Nuremberg Process and the human rights conventions (see human rights) after World War II, have also largely included individuals. At the establishment of the International Criminal Court, there is now a permanent criminal court which condemns the most serious crimes committed by individuals.
The organization of a larger group of independent states in a state society, regulated by international law, is a relatively modern phenomenon. Admittedly, rules of international law can be demonstrated from medieval feudal states, Rome and Greece, or even from older cultural sections of the culture. But a public-law society within the meaning of the term now began to take shape only at the transition from the 16th to the 16th century.
The emergence of a truly international law is not infrequently attributed to the Dutch scholar Hugo Grotius (1583–1645). This is not historically accurate, for Grotius also had his predecessors; Among the most prominent were the Spaniards Francisco de Vitoria (1480–1546) and Albericus Gentilis (1552–1608). But it was Grotius' forensic activity and, in particular, his main work De Jure Belli ac Pacis (1625) that took on an unparalleled importance as a basis and guidelines for international law.
Grotius and his closest successors, especially the German Samuel von Pufendorf (1632–1694), built on natural law; they derived the rules of international law from a postulated immutable, general human right of higher rank than the positive order of law. This theory of natural law has never been completely eradicated from international law, despite skilled and energetic attempts to build on the positive foundations of state practice, treaties and more.
The end of major wars has often led to attempts to reorganize international affairs. These are important stages in the development of the more politically stressed international law, especially the peace in Westphalia (1648), in Utrecht (1713), the Vienna Congress (1815), the Paris Congress (after the Crimean War, 1856), the Versailles Peace with the League of Nations (1919), and San Francisco conference that created the UN after World War II (1945).
In peacetime, the ever-expanding international economic, social and cultural cooperation has led to a number of important treaties that have created an international law of a more administrative nature, on trade, currency, shipping, aviation, postal, telegraph, aerospace and other social, health, authors 'and artists' legal protection, patent protection, goals and emphasis and more. The European Union (EU) is an attempt to achieve the goal of avoiding armed conflict through the establishment of a common internal market with a coordinated regulatory framework.
Significant to the enforcement and development of international law was the establishment of a permanent international court in The Hague in 1921 (reorganized in 1946). The efforts to regulate and humanize warfare resulted primarily in the Hague Conventions of 1899 and 1907, and the Geneva Conventions, of which the present ones are from 1949, with two additional protocols from 1977. Attempts to codify other parts of international law have had mixed success. The League of Nations' codification conference in The Hague in 1930 produced little results.
In 1982, the protracted negotiation process was completed, and a new Convention on the Law of the Sea saw the light of day, see Sea Law. In 1948, the UN General Assembly adopted a Declaration on Human Rights, which was not binding on the Member States. In addition, a convention on economic, social and cultural rights was adopted in 1966, one on civil and political rights and one on racial discrimination. In 1979, the United Nations adopted a Convention against Women's Discrimination and in 1989 a Convention on the Rights of the Child. A convention for the protection of human rights was already signed in 1950 by the Western European states (under the auspices of the Council of Europe).
Otherwise, there have been many drafts and unrelenting attempts to express the rules of international law in general texts; both by official bodies such as the International Law Commission during the UN General Assembly, and by private institutions and learned companies such as the International Law Association and the Institut de Droit International. In this connection, mention should also be made of the Académie de droit international de la Haye.

Lyft's Guidance Hike Is Not a Reason to Buy Lyft Stock
Lyft's (NASDAQ:LYFT) Q2 results, reported on Aug. 7, were better than expected. Source: Shutterstock InvestorPlace - Stock Market News, Stock Advice & Trading TipsEven better than the revenue beat was the company's increased full-year guidance. Lyft stock price initially jumped on the news, then gave up all of its gains as the stock market retreated amid trade-war worries. . While it's great to see the company's outlook is improving, I don't believe that's a reason to buy Lyft stock. Here's why. Investing Is About RetirementMost people invest to fund their retirements. As a result, investors should ensure that their capital is protected as much as possible. Buying stocks is not as much about hitting a home run as it is about getting a bunch of singles over a long period. * 7 Large-Cap Stocks to Sell Right Now Take Lyft stock. It went public on March 28 at $72 per share and gained 8.7% in its first day of trading. Since then, Lyft stock price has lost all of its first-day gains and then some. Down 18% since its IPO, Lyft stock needs more good news like its raised full-year outlook if it's going to make a comeback to $72. However, that shouldn't matter to those investing for their retirements. They ought to be more concerned about Lyft stock price dropping further. As long as LYFT still doesn't have a pathway to GAAP profitability, I can't recommend Lyft stock in good conscience. LYFT Has Got to Have a Shot at ProfitabilityIn April, I compared Lyft to ShiftPixy (NASDAQ:PIXY), a company that operates a platform for hiring and scheduling shift work. It brings shift workers and employers together to do business. Like LYFT, PIXY doesn't make money, but could soon. That's why I suggested that, as speculative plays go, ShiftPixy is a better opportunity than Lyft. Since then, PIXY has lost more than half its value. While Lyft has an $18 billion market cap and is a massive company relative to ShiftPixy, they both have one thing in common: They lose a lot of money. And companies that lose money are for speculators, not investors. In Lyft's Q2, it had revenue of $867.3 million and an adjusted net loss of $197.3 million. That means for every dollar of sales, Lyft lost 23 cents. By comparison, ShiftPixy had $14.3 million in revenue last quarter and a net loss of $5 million, which means it lost 35 cents for every dollar of sales it generated in the quarter. Both companies' numbers are terrible, but at least the owners of ShiftPixy stock know they're dealing with a speculative investment. Average retail investors who don't know any better see Lyft's 72% year-over-year increase in revenue in Q2, along with the 41% YoY increase in its number of active riders, and assume that, given time, LYFT will make a profit. The truth is it might never make a profit, despite its recent good news.In fiscal 2019, Lyft expects to generate revenue of at least $3.47 billion with an adjusted EBITDA loss of $850 million to $875 million. In 2018, Lyft's EBITDA's loss was around $850 million. Do you really want to own stock in a company that's losing close to $1 billion annually? I sure don't. The Bottom Line on Lyft StockOn Aug. 19, the lock-up period will end on about 257.6 million shares of Lyft stock owned by company insiders, directors and officers. As those insiders look to sell some of their shares, the Lyft stock price could take a hit. However, because Lyft stock is trading well below its IPO price, it's unlikely that the earlier-than-expected end of the lock-up period will result in a mass exodus of pre-IPO investors.But while the company's improved outlook is a good morale booster for its employees, the reality is that the guidance hike is not a reason to buy Lyft stock. In my opinion, investors should only buy Lyft stock if the company demonstrates that it has a pathway to profitability. At the moment, such a path doesn't exist.If you're looking to bet on a money loser, Roku (NASDAQ:ROKU) is a much smarter bet.

PIXY: ShiftPixy Still Showing High Growth and Improving Margins in Q3 FY2019
While toxic financing has knock down the stock price, ShiftPixy (PIXY) still reported a solid quarter amidst all the drama from the recent convertible note transaction. For the first time ShiftPixy beat our gross billings number, coming in at $94.2 million compared with $60.2 million in FYQ3 2018, up 57%. Incredibly despite this performance, the company is trading at $14 million enterprise value despite being at a $57 million revenue run rate with improving margins and growth over 50%.

ShiftPixy (PIXY), again, missed our gross billings and revenue numbers for the quarter and more than compensated with its gross margin performance. Gross margin dollars grew 266%. In Q1 it reported gross margin of 32.2%, but within that quarter it had had a one-time reversal of unemployment tax without which, margin would have been 22.7%.
ShiftPixy vs. Lyft: Which Is the Better Buy?
I like to cover businesses that are making money or on a pathway to profitability. ShiftPixy (NASDAQ:PIXY) announced good results April 15, sending PIXY stock higher by more than 5% in early trading. * 7 Stocks That Can Outperform for Years Here's a company that provides shift workers and the companies that employ them a platform to take care of business. It's a win/win proposition. So, what's this got to do with Lyft (NASDAQ:LYFT), the United States' second-largest ride-sharing app (based on market share)? InvestorPlace - Stock Market News, Stock Advice & Trading TipsWell, nothing, if you're comparing companies in the same industry. However, if you're interested in owning stocks that have a shot at making money in the near future, Shiftpixy stock is the much better option. Here's why… Lyft Losses EnormousIn fiscal 2018, Lyft's operating loss was 45 cents for every dollar of its $2.16 billion in revenue. Its IPO prospectus says that it may never make a profit."We have incurred net losses each year since our inception and we may not be able to achieve or maintain profitability in the future. We incurred net losses of $682.8 million, $688.3 million and $911.3 million in 2016, 2017 and 2018," stated the prospectus. Uber is expected to go public next month. It loses 27 cents for every dollar of its $11.3 billion in annual revenue, a slightly healthier number than Lyft. Together, the two ride-sharing apps lose 35 cents for each dollar in revenue. In Lyft's case, as it tries to wrestle market share from Uber, its losses are rising, while Uber's seem to have stabilized. Still, both could be profitless for the next five years or longer. So, unless you're a venture capitalist in waiting, might I suggest something like ShiftPixy, which is much closer to break-even and also provides a platform for growth. ShiftPixy's Latest ResultsThe company announced its second-quarter 2019 results on April 15, before the markets opened. They were very encouraging. As I started to write this article, Shiftpixy was up more than 5% in early trading. It's now dropped into negative territory. Despite the change in direction -- the markets as a whole are down -- there are some numbers to like from its earnings report. On the top line, revenues were $13.2 million, 67% higher than a year earlier, and 26% higher than in Q1 2019. Gross billings in the quarter increased by 70% to $82.5 million. ShiftPixy essentially pays the shift workers and generates revenue by marking up the payroll. In the second quarter, it had 9,660 worksite employees accessing the ShiftPixy platform, up 47% over Q2 2018. The more worksite employees are working with its clients -- it had 25 clients as of the end of November 2018 -- the more revenue it makes from its platform. At the end of the first quarter, four of those clients accounted for 75% of its total accounts receivable, down from 86% in Q4 2018. It's heading in the right direction. Once the 10-Q is out, I'd bet that number would be down into the low 60s. Profits Soon EnoughIn terms of profits, Shiftpixy's gross margin in the quarter was 24.4% -- more than double its 11.1% gross margin in the same quarter a year earlier. In regard to operating profit, Shipftpixy lost $2.2 million in Q2 2019, 18% lower than a year earlier. That's 17 cents in losses for every dollar of revenue, about half the amount of Lyft and Uber combined. Also, in late December, Shiftpixy came to a settlement agreement with certain institutional investors regarding the company's 8% senior secured convertible notes due Sept. 4, 2019. The agreement reduced Shiftpixy's liabilities by $2.61 million, which went right to its bottom line, reducing its net loss to $338,531 (considerably less than the $2.7 million in Q2 2018). In the first six months of 2019, Shiftpixy's net loss dropped by 61% to $2.3 million from $6.1 million a year earlier. As it continues to add clients and shift workers to its platform, I'd expect Shiftpixy to turn profitable sometime in fiscal 2020, perhaps sooner. The Bottom Line on Shiftpixy StockIs PIXY stock risky?At $1.20 or so, you better believe it. That said, its use of artificial intelligence for onboarding shift workers appears to be gaining traction. Good businesses generally help people and companies make and save money and time. * 10 Dow Jones Stocks Holding the Blue Chip Index Back For that reason, as a speculative play, ShiftPixy holds some appeal. I can't say the same about Lyft or Uber. At the time of this writing Will Ashworth did not hold a position in any of the aforementioned securities.

A cheesy bacon artichoke dip recipe – this is perfect for parties!
Thank you to Freschetta for making this post possible!
Up until about a year ago, Jack was on a pretty strict diet.
He had so many weird health issues that baffled his doctors, and their own solution at times was to experiment with his diet.
The diet that seemed to work best for him was low FODMAP, and that required him to eat little to no gluten.
Needless to say, that wasn't a favorite time in my life. I love gluten products – breads, pastas, pizza…love them. However, I didn't want to make separate meals for everyone, so I adapted and learned a lot about gluten free living during that time.
One thing that always frustrated me though was pizza. It was SO hard to find good pizza.
Most of the mixes I found for dough were not that great, and most of the pizza places we went to had crusts that tasted like cardboard.
So when I tried Freschetta's gluten free pizza a few weeks ago, I was SO bummed I hadn't known about this back then.
I think that the mark of a good gluten free product is that you can't tell it's gluten free – and that's exactly how I feel about Freschetta's gluten free crust. It just tasted like a regular pizza crust – thin, obviously – but it just tasted normal. No one has to feel like they are getting the less delicious pizza – in fact, I wouldn't be surprised if people would be fighting over the last piece!
My mom even said, "I don't like frozen pizza, but I really like this." So you know it's good. It's flaky, crispy, and certified gluten free by the. Celiac Support Association.
We made pepperoni kind for a college football game that was going on between my alma mater, and their biggest rival. I decided to pair it with a yummy dip recipe – cheesy bacon spinach dip.
This dip recipe is also gluten free, so this would be a great meal to have on hand for those times when you have a gluten free friend come over. If you know me, I love a good spinach dip, and this one definitely tops the list as one of my favorites.
It's really easy to make, and I thought it paired perfectly with the pizza. I even dipped the pizza in it a few times!
Mix all the ingredients in a bowl until well-combined.
Spread mixture evenly into the bottom of a pie dish.
Bake 20-25 minutes, or until the top is lightly browned.
FRESCHETTA ® Gluten Free Single Serve 4 Cheese Medley Pizza is what I would like to try first. Love the yummy cheese togetherness. Easy to add simple veggie or meat topping of my choice to make it my own.
4 Cheese Medley Pizza looks like the best fit for our family as we have 2 vegetarians who would prefer something without meat.
Classic pepperoni for me please!
The gluten free pepperoni sounds great.
Omg I am obsessed with a good tasting pizza. Everything looks and sounds good lol.

Q: C++ | Как создать массив, кол-во значений которого будет содежаться в переменной? Как сделать так что-бы эта функция работала?
int *dae (int arr_count) {
int arr[arr_count];
for (int i = 0; i < arr_count; i++) {
arr[i] = i;
}
return arr;
}

A: Она у вас и так работает. Кроме одного момента - вы создаете локальный массив в функции, и он уничтожается при выходе. Поэтому возвращение указателя на этот массив - ошибка, приводящая к неопределенному поведению.
Тут возможны варианты:

*

*Создать массив до вызова функции и передать в неё указатель и размер

main()
{
    int arr[arr_count];
    dae( arr, arr_count);
}

int *dae (int* arr, int arr_count)
{
    for (int i = 0; i < arr_count; i++)
        arr[i] = i;
    return arr;
}

*Создать массив динамически через оператор new[]. Главное потом не забыть удалить его где-то с помощью delete[]. А чтобы не заморачиваться с удалением (временем жизни) массива, используйте умные указатели std::unique_ptr() или std::shared_ptr().

int* dae (int arr_count)
{
    int* arr = new int[arr_count];
    for (int i = 0; i < arr_count; i++)
        arr[i] = i;
    return arr;
}

*Самый правильный способ, уже учитывающий правила управления временем жизни, умеющий не только копировать массивы но и перемещать - использование контейнеров стандартной библиотеки std::vector<> и std::array<>
vector<int> dae(int arr_count)
{
    vector<int> arr(arr_count);
    for (int i = 0; i < arr_count; i++)
        arr[i] = i;
    return arr;
}

This is our most far-reaching polar expedition and includes visits to three different locations. The sub-Antarctic Falkland Islands and the island of South Georgia are home to a proliferation of unique wildlife and birdlife. There are penguin rookeries with more than 100,000 nesting birds and the beaches are covered in fur seals and elephant seals.
Seabirds, including many of the albatross species call these islands home, nesting and raising their young in this wild and remote environment. Both locations feature a fascinating history and stunning scenery.
IMPORTANT NOTE: This itinerary includes a complimentary post-voyage hotel night in Punta Arenas for all guests returning from voyages that conclude at King George Island. It also includes scheduled flight from Punta Arenas to Stanley (Falkland Islands) and charter flight from King George Island (Antarctica) back to Punta Arenas (Chile).
Located on Deck 3 these cabins have bunk beds and a sofa bed. Facilities are shared. There is a washbasin with cold/hot water in the cabin, a writing desk/chair and ample storage space. All cabins have a porthole.
Overnight we have navigated down the eastern coast of the Falkland Islands. Approaching Sea Lion Island, we first note the very barren and windswept landscape, exposed to the prevailing weather that originates in the Drake Passage. We launch the Zodiacs and go ashore to view the incredible diversity of wildlife found at this location. Three species of penguin including gentoo, magellanic and rockhopper, as well as southern elephant seals and South American sea lions are known to inhabit the area. King cormorants and striated caracaras are just some of the bird species we expect to see. Weather permitting, we may have time to visit neighboring Bleaker Island - another settlement on the exposed southeastern coast of the Falklands - equally rich in wildlife.
Weather and ice will dictate our crossing of the Scotia Sea from South Georgia to Antarctica. As with all of our itinerary planning, our Expedition Leader and Captain will make a decision based on the sea and ice conditions at the time. The South Orkney Island group represent the peaks of a submarine mountain range called the Scotia Arc, connecting South Georgia to the South Shetland Islands. Often shrouded in fog and surrounded by ice much of the year, a chance to visit these islands doesn't come often. As we edge ever closer to the frozen continent, large icebergs announce our arrival in Antarctic waters. If conditions allow, we hope to see the dark cliffs of Elephant Island appear on the horizon. Shackleton and his men were encamped here for many months, having lost HMS Endurance in the thick sea ice, far to the south in the Weddell Sea in 1915. From the tiny beach at Point Wild, Shackleton and six companions set off on the rescue mission to South Georgia, aboard the tiny lifeboat, James Caird. To this day, the epic ocean crossing is considered one of the greatest in history. If conditions allow, we will attempt a landing at Point Wild on Elephant Island.
Around 60 miles off the coast of the Antarctic mainland we find the South Shetland Island chain. Possible landing sites could include King George Island, Half Moon Island or Yankee Harbour. Weather conditions permitting we sail the ship into the flooded volcanic caldera of Deception Island. There are some outstanding hikes at these locations and the old whaling station and aircraft hangar at Deception Island beg for further exploration. After so much anticipation, we enter the icy waters of the Antarctic Peninsula in the vicinity of Mikkelson Harbour or Cierva Cove. Snow covered mountains soar from the dark waters. Along the shoreline in the bays and harbors of the Peninsula lives an incredible abundance of wildlife. Large rookeries are home to chinstrap, gentoo and Adelie penguins. Seals live on the ice floes, including the powerful leopard seal that we hope to encounter. Gulls, skuas and cormorants are also found nesting and feeding at many sites along the Antarctic Peninsula. We explore by Zodiac boat and on shore where a range of exciting activities await. Locations we hope to visit include Wilhelmina Bay, Orne Harbour, Cuverville Island and the Errera Channel. Join the photographic guide taking pictures of stunning icebergs. Or enjoy a hike to the top of a snowy mountain saddle with one of our adventure guides. If the opportunity presents itself, visit a science base or an old historic hut. The sea kayakers may paddle up to several miles from the ship, offering a truly memorable experience. As our voyage comes to an end we chart a course for King George Island. Tonight we celebrate our voyage with a special dinner attended by the Captain of the ship.
This morning we say goodbye to our expedition team and transfer ashore by Zodiac. We walk from the shore landing site past the Chilean research station and up towards the airstrip where we board our special charter flight. This flight takes a little over two hours and is included in the price of your voyage. Upon arrival into Punta Arenas a transfer from the airport into town is provided. IMPORTANT NOTE: This itinerary includes a complimentary post-voyage hotel night in Punta Arenas for all guests returning from voyages that conclude at King George Island. This evening is at your leisure. Punta Arenas is home to some cozy restaurants, cafes and bars – including the historic 'Shackleton Bar' at the Hotel Jose Nogueira – a fitting location to reflect on your journey to Antarctica.

The Curse of Oak Island: A baffling artifact and a new tunnel keeps the team guessing
Wed Dec 21, 2022 at 9:45am ET
By Jerry Brown
Marty Lagina is insistent that they have a breakthrough on Oak Island this year. Pic credit: History
This week on The Curse of Oak Island, the team was fired up after discovering an ancient ornate artifact, and the drill team continued to locate previously unexplored tunnels in the area of the garden shaft.
After an action-packed start to Season 10, the Fellowship of the Dig seemed to be playing the waiting game for much of this episode.
They are waiting for the Dumas mining company to excavate the garden shaft, and they're waiting for the Muon Technology sensors to return data so they can begin mapping under the surface of the island.
In the meantime, the drill team is keeping themselves busy by attempting to track the course of a tunnel approximately 40 feet away from the garden shaft. But on last night's episode, they complicated matters by uncovering a second tunnel at a shallower elevation.
Unfortunately, their progress has now been hampered by the Muon detectors that are placed in the ground not far from the garden shaft. These sensors will not be finished collecting data for another few months, and the team can't risk damaging them by digging nearby.
Rick and the guys came up with a compromise and picked a spot to dig that they felt was far away enough from the detectors and could still hit a tunnel. However, to the viewer, it looked a bit like a hopeful shot in the dark.
Mysterious artifact is found on Lot 8 of Oak Island
Meanwhile, Gary Drayton and Jack Begley found an interesting artifact in Lot 8. The ornate artifact, which fitted comfortably in the palm of Gary's hand, was a flat object decorated with symbols on either side.
The archaeology team, led by Laird Niven, were baffled by the artifact, each stating that they had seen nothing like it before. The object went into the XRF Machine (X-ray fluorescence), which concluded it was a copper alloy. The metallic makeup, coupled with the hand-made markings, all suggested that this was a very old object.
The CT Scanner took over and cut through all the erosion to give the guys a clearer look, but the object remained a mystery.
The artifact remains a mystery but is believed to be quite old and ceremonial in nature. Pic credit: History
Expert suggests Oak Island find is a ceremonial object from Europe
The team drafted in Dr. Edwin Barnhart, an archaeologist, and specialist in the Mayan civilization, to take a look. He, too, seemed a little baffled by the strange object and suggested he be allowed to study it in more detail.
Barnhart did speculate that it could be a religious icon and was likely used in a ceremonial function. He also guessed from its metal composition that it probably did not come from the Americas but was most likely European.
The guys previously uncovered what they thought was a gemstone from a brooch on Lot 8. However, they were recently informed that it could have been from a masonic ceremonial breastplate. Perhaps these two items are linked?
Like so many episodes, this one had more questions than answers. On the plus side, the Dumas crew should have the garden shaft excavated in the next month or so, hopefully allowing the guys to finally get underground and into the Money Pit.
Do we find the missing link tonight?

Oh… and in regard to finding evidence of tunneling. No. What they're are digging up is remnants from past futile endeavors on the island; much of which was never properly documented. They know they're going to find wood, which of course is not exciting. So much is buried down there. Yet when they declare (falsely) that it's evidence of tunneling… well, let's say it is an old tunnel. Somebody had been down there already. And found nothing. But no, they've got eleven seasons of a television show to do the same things all over, and try to make it new each year as if we haven't watched them already do the same things over and over.

How Do You Say Towhee?
Mayntz July 27, 2020 July 27, 2020 Bird Name Pronunciations 7 Comments
Towhee, like bobolink, is another of those bird names that may seem to have a very obvious, standard, easy to explain pronunciation – until you actually hear the name pronounced by different birders in different areas. But which pronunciation of this type of long-tailed sparrow relative is actually correct?
Green-Tailed Towhee – Photo by NPS / Jacob W. Frank
There are nine towhee species in the world today (a tenth, the Bermuda towhee, is extinct), and each has a two-syllable word as the last word of its common name – towhee. But two syllables can be surprisingly diverse in how many ways it can be pronounced. It's easiest to start with the first syllable, but there may not even be agreement as to what makes up that first syllable.
Is it tow or to?
If the three-letter "tow" is considered the first syllable, pronunciation generally rhymes with row, foe, go, low, mow, hoe, Joe, and throw. If the two-letter "to" is the first syllable, however, pronunciation may rhyme with shoe, few, cue, blue, two, mew, skew, and stew.
Just how this first syllable is pronounced also affects the second syllable in a subtle way. If the second syllable is accepted as "hee" then it most likely uses a breathy, pronounced "H" as in he, help, heft, home, hawk, Hefner, and happy. If the second syllable, however, is considered "whee" then the "H" may be silent, and only the "ee" is pronounced. In either case, the long "E" is always prominent in this syllable, and rhymes with sea, ski, flea, tea, bee, me, gee, and plea.
Eastern Towhee – Photo by Nina Hale
Putting these variations together, we have four distinct ways to pronounce what at first would have seemed like a simple bird name.
Tow-hee
Tow-eee
Too-hee
Too-eee
Of course, we also need to consider syllabic emphasis for proper pronunciation. In this case, nearly universal emphasis is placed on the first syllable, making this name…
Abert's Towhee – Photo by Andy Reago & Chrissy McClarren
Also common is an equal emphasis on each syllable, in which case neither is more prominent and both the tow/too and hee/eee syllables are even in strength.
But which pronunciation is ultimately correct? The vast majority of birders, regardless of the towhee species to which they're referring, use the "tow" pronunciations of these birds' names. The breathiness of the "H" can vary, however, and both the "hee" and "eee" pronunciations are relatively widespread and depend on individual preference, though the breathier "hee" is slightly more prevalent in most areas. Likewise, syllabic emphasis is split fairly evenly, with both "TOW" and "tow" having equal use among birders.
My personal pronunciation varies between "tow-hee" and "TOW-hee" using the long "oh" for the first syllable and the breathy "H" for the second. I've heard the name pronounced in different ways, however, but always understood which species was being discussed, identified, or named. In the end, that's what matters most for any bird name pronunciation – communicating clearly which bird you mean, no matter how you pronounce it.

I pronounce it t-ow (like when you stub your toe – ow!) hee
Mayntz Post author July 13, 2021 at 9:27 am
Interesting – that's not a pronunciation I've ever heard! Not that it ever matters to the birds, of course, lol. Thanks for sharing!
Fumiko May 8, 2022 at 6:54 am
That's how my hubby and I say it also!
David April 17, 2022 at 3:01 pm
Fascinating. I have always pronounced it like "toe" or "throw" folllowed by Hee. But this morning I met a young birder from Boston who says "tau" like "ow" as in ouch. I guess I live in a Southern California bubble where everyone around me says "TOW-hee". Definitely never heard "too-ee".
Mik July 16, 2022 at 10:36 am
I'm in So Cal, too. In my bird book, they said to pronounce it the way the bird chirps it. So, for us, you'd say it very fast to get the chirping, to-we, or almost twee.
JENSEN ELIZABETH September 6, 2022 at 2:06 pm
I guess people say tow differently. I always pronounce it like toe or tow a boat. Spelling interpretation. I know when I go on Bird outings with my local Audubon Society everyone seems to pronounce it with a long o.

Journey's End takes place during the final stages of WWI and this is a night which promises to feel just like that (a little less war, a little more drink).

My daughter once wished for a different birthday month. I referred her to God for further discussion.
I do see her point, however. August boasts no holidays — not even a fake holiday like St. Patrick's Day. Nobody throws big parties on the eve of August 1, as they do in January.
The hotter the weather, the more we chill. Dressing up is wearing matched right and left flip-flops. Days pass before we turn the calendar page.
When we do, though, a tiny tadpole of awareness wiggles into our days.
Outdoor projects delayed till warm weather now have been postponed till fall. Yards need extreme makeovers, but we're so sick of yard work, we pay 4-Hers to release goat herds on our premises.
August presents an end-of-summer reality check. I purchased a "miracle" swimsuit in May. Now I realize the only miracle is that I paid big bucks for it.
August affects mothers in peculiar ways. They buy pencil boxes, though no one in human history has ever proved pencil boxes serve a useful purpose. Kids talk Mom into buying cool new backpacks, though 23 uncool backpacks languish at home.
Mothers also obsess about imminent changes in schedules: "Go to bed now so you'll be ready when school starts." My mother, who had five kids, did this. As of August 1, we went to bed at 4:00 p.m.
By August, every able-bodied person in the Midwest has ridden a Ferris wheel and consumed a warm, crisp elephant ear.
While still recovering from that gathering of DNA-related strangers known as a family reunion, we rendezvoused with cousins who long ago sneaked into drive-ins with us. We kissed sweet baby kin's brand-new cheeks and gave grandmas and grandpas a smile.
In August, homeowners stop vying for the Yard of the Year. Instead, we concede the grand champion ribbon to God for His spectacular pastures of goldenrod, Queen Anne's lace and Sweet Williams.
He treats us to evening concerts by cicada choirs that sing their best in August. Fireflies, now veteran presenters, perform spectacular light shows at dusk with few technical glitches.
Whether we own farms or only farmers' tans, the ripe cornucopia of gardens, tasseled cornfields and leafy rows of soybeans reassure us: After harvest, we will celebrate with plenty of food on our tables.
All during August — the not-so-special month.
Your Extraordinary Ordinary: What do you like best about August?

EUR 3.5 million to help people made redundant from Microsoft
The European Globalisation Adjustment Fund EGF grants Finland EUR 3.5 million to assist those laid off from Microsoft. Funds will be used to help the about 1,000 people made redundant in finding new jobs.
On 13 September 2017 the European Parliament approved the application submitted by Finland to the European Globalisation Adjustment Fund EGF in February.
– EU support has been highly important for the re-employment of people who have been made redundant because of the rapid transformation of the Finnish ICT sector. Our sincere hope is that no new applications will be needed, but this kind of dramatic layoffs that send shockwaves all through the sector are now over, says Minister of Labour Jari Lindström.
– We firmly believe that the people laid off from Microsoft will soon find new jobs. The recovery of Finland's economy has significantly increased the demand for skilled labour, and Finnish ICT expertise is highly competitive in the global context, the Minister says.
Measures in support of re-employment and starting new businesses have already been launched in the localities affected by the redundancies. Measures by means of the EU funds to be taken in the regions will be coordinated with Microsoft's own measures to support re-employment.
EU support sought for layoff in the trade sector as well
The European Union institutions are currently processing an application submitted by Finland in June 2017 concerning support for those made redundant in the retail and wholesale sector. Funds would be used to help more than 1,500 people laid off in the trade sector.
In support from the European Globalisation Adjustment Fund the EU's funding share is 60 per cent and the national contribution is 40 per cent. In cases of major structural change, EGF support is granted for active employment policy measures, such as different forms of training, education, promotion of mobility, pay subsidies and start-up grants.
Further information about the fund is available at www.egr.fi (in finnish)

Under new guidelines any British families deemed to be underperforming will be forced to become academies, the government said today.
The news comes hot on the heels of a government-led enquiry into the 'family unit', which revealed that most families were struggling to get by as a result of bad fiscal management by local authority 'parents'. In many cases the children of these families failed to meet national standards and would probably not earn more than £20,000 a year, putting them at risk of deportation or being forced to live up north.
Once reformed as academies the underperforming families will no longer be under control of the parents, who will act as middle men and women deploying directives handed down from indifferent ministers with law degrees. Finances will instead come directly from government, and from carefully vetted private donors who have promised deep from their loving hearts not to interfere in favour of their own interests.
Mealtimes will now be provided by a joint effort between Tesco and Tommee Tippee. This will cut down on unneccessary expenditure in other supermarkets, and will result in less spillages due to the use of sippy cups.
Evenings will be regulated by npower, who will turn off any lamps after 10pm if anyone takes the piss by reading or staying awake.
Quality family time will be organised by the local Territorial Army regiment. A happy family is very important in creating a happy Britain, so enjoyment is mandatory. Anyone who is not pulling their weight will be dishonourably discharged from the family unit and forced to join the Night's Watch (the Hadrian's Wall expansion project begins early next year).
A family unit is considered to be a cohabiting collection of two or more people. Under the new rules, anyone who is still single by the age of 25 will be considered either dysfunctional or a liar.

Craig welcomes Journey of Hope riders
Fraternity raises funds, awareness for disabled people with annual cross-country cycling tour
Members of the Boys & Girls Club of Craig welcome Journey of Hope cyclists with high-fives Thursday. Journey of Hope is a program with The Ability Experience through Pi Kappa Phi fraternity, which raises funds and awareness for people with disabilities. Riders bike thousands of miles across the country each summer. While in Craig, participants also visited clients of Horizons Specialized Services.
With more than 1,000 miles behind them thousands and more to come in the coming days, a group of cyclists pulled into the Boys & Girls Club of CraigBoys & Girls Club of Craig Thursday afternoon showing no signs of being worn out, their mind on a mission to educate and enrich lives.

The Journey of Hope, part of The Ability Experience, visited Craig this week as part of a cross-country bike excursion that travels nearly 4,000 total miles with many stops throughout the nation called "friendship visits" to raise awareness for people with mental and physical disabilities.
The North Route team consists of 38 total participants — 28 riders and 10 support crew members — who started June 12 in San Francisco and will end their ride Aug. 13 in Washington, DC to support the work of fraternity Pi Kappa Phi.
Each cyclist is responsible for raising at least $5,500 as part of their entry, said Andrew Bublitz, project manager for the tour, with three separate groups raising more than $600,000.
Bublitz took on the challenge last year on a bike and chose to continue working with the organization, which has many riders who train two to three years in advance in some cases.
"These guys are taking their entire summer and dedicating themselves to this cause," he said. "It's some of the most physically demanding stuff you can do to spend anywhere from five to 15 hours on a bike, pedaling, going over mountains."
Due to lingering lightning in the area, cyclists were unable to make a grand entry coming off US Highway 40 at the Boys & Girls Club on their two-wheeled conveyances but received a hero's welcome nonetheless.
Kari Neuman, unit director for the Craig club, said Journey of Hope is a program kids look forward to seeing each year, for as long as she has been part of Boys & Girls Club.
"Just the awareness that they raise is so impactful for the kids," she said.
In addition to dropping by the club to interact with kids, whether through a discussion of bike safety or a round of kickball or shooting hoops, riders also met with members of Horizons Specialized ServicesHorizons Specialized Services for a picnic later in the day. for a picnic later in the day.

Nick Pellegrini, of Alamo, California, said he was inspired to join the Journey of Hope as a result of a former high school classmate who had participated in the ride.
"He was a few years older, but I thought to myself, 'I'd really like to do something like that when I'm older,'" he said. "I got started working with the kids and realized this is something I really want to do. Coming to places like this really re-energizes you."
The 20-year-old said he was pleased to be able to devote two months to the activity, both the cycling and the time in between, spent meeting with children to spread the organization's message and to engage people with disabilities.
"I think it's important to realize that all people have different abilities whether we're the same or not," he said. "We just want to show people that ability outweighs disability."

Put your visual perception skills to the test with Spot It, a fun, fast-paced, and simple card game that everyone aged 7 years and up can enjoy. In a group of two to eight players, you'll draw cards and match symbols, like light bulbs, snowmen, or puppies, but with one catch--only one matching symbol exists between any two cards. The first person to spot the matching symbol and call it out wins.
Fast-Paced Observation Game for the Whole Family!
The Spot It game consists of 55 circular cards, each decorated with eight symbols. There are more than 50 symbols in all, including images of hearts, snowflakes, dragons, and lightning bolts, as well as words such as Stop, Art, and OK. The symbols are universal in nature, allowing everyone, including young children, to participate in the family fun. Because the game requires quick mental processing, it moves fast, challenging your visual perception, memory, and matching skills. Your group of two to eight players will delight in spotting the matching symbols and agonize over getting beat to the punch by a faster player.
In addition to regular game play, this game lets players choose from five individual mini-games with separate rules and objectives. Choose such contests as The Tower, The Well, Hot Potato, The Poisoned Gift, or Triplet and play them in any order. The player who wins the most mini-games becomes the champion. This card game comes with everything you'll need to play, including a convenient travel-size tin container so you can take this card game to parties or on trips.


International Festival: A once yearly cultural celebration that Overture has hosted since 1981, the festival celebrates the cultural diversity of Dane County. Over 30 performers and 40 vendors selected from the local area represent over 60 cultures annually. Spread throughout 6 venues within the building, the festival is free and open to the public, with an average of over 13,000 audience experiences each year. I am in charge of selecting and contracting performers and vendors, developing the schedule, coordinating with all internal departments for marketing, security, front of house and technical staff.
OnStage Field Trip Performance Series: With over 30 performances a year for PreK through 12th grade students, this series brings over 30,000 students a year to Overture for cultural experiences connecting to curriculums across subjects. This inexpensive seats allow for school aged children from across southern Wisconsin to experience live performance in a state of the art facility. I promote the performances to educators, manage a resource guide writer, process all orders and develop and maintain relationships with teachers from public, private and homeschools throughout the area.
Kids in the Rotunda: A free family performance series entertaining audiences since 1982, Kids in the Rotunda brings over 30,000 children and their families to Overture each season. Presenting music, dance, magic, juggling and more to children aged 2-10, the program ignites a passion for art in young minds and provides a welcoming, fun environment for family bonding time. I am in charge of selecting, contracting and managing performers. As the face of the program I also present the curtain speeches before each performance, run the Kids in the Rotunda Facebook page, and engage audiences at community events to promote brand awareness.
From June of 2015 - July of 2017 I worked as the Gallery Coordinator for Overture Galleries I, II & III at Overture Center. A forum for diverse artistic expression, Overture Galleries strives to exhibit work from both professional and developing artists, as well as local art organizations and community projects. As the primary contact for all exhibitors, I managed the exhibition process from the introductory meeting with the artists to the resulting installation, reception and special events.
After spending a year in my role for Overture Galleries, I lead a systems analysis of the gallery process and implemented a project management tool (Asana) to improve communication between stakeholders and streamline the exhibition planning process. This tool replaced an older paper system, and reduced redundancy and increased productivity. The poster to the right details this process.


The 2013 hurricane season in Miami-Dade County is expected to run from June 1 to November 30. Hopefully, the season will pass without inflicting too much damage. However, if a major storm does occur, it is important to learn what you need to do to recover.
Contact your insurance company: The first thing you should do is assess the damage to your property and contact your insurance company. Make a claim, and try to get an estimate from your insurer regarding how long you will have to wait for payment. This should make it easier to plan for expenses.
Investigate disaster assistance programs: There are a number of financial assistance programs available to hurricane victims. Some are government backed, while others are funded by private nonprofits. See what you qualify for, and don't be embarrassed to ask for assistance. These programs were created with the express purpose of helping people like you.
Get your credit report: Do this before you start incurring major storm-related expenses. Your credit report will provide an accurate picture of your financial state before the hurricane hit, which may help you negotiate with creditors if your credit score takes a hit during the rebuilding process.
Make a budget: Your expenses while you are rebuilding will likely be much higher than they were before the storm. In addition, you may experience a disruption in your income if your place of employment was damaged in the storm. Set realistic expectations both about the short-term expenses of replacing clothes and personal items and paying for temporary housing, as well as the long-term expenses you will face while rebuilding.
Talk to your creditors: As part of your budget, you should identify how much money you will have available each month to pay back existing debts. Be proactive, and contact your creditors to explain your situation and ask what they can do to help. If they agree to do anything - like waive late fees, adjust your minimum payment or temporarily suspend your obligation to pay - be sure to get confirmation in writing.
If you do get into financial trouble, know that help is out there. In many cases, filing for bankruptcy can be the best solution. A completed bankruptcy will discharge old debts to help you get a fresh financial start. After a major disaster, a clean slate might be just the thing you need.


As a result of Nyetya (also previously reported as Pyetya or NotPetya), we are sharing our thoughts on the potential impact to your Cisco Unified Communications environment.
The following overview was developed to provide clients and readers with a general understanding of the various potential points of impact should their Windows platforms/systems become unavailable, and may not be applicable in all environments.
Fidelus Managed Services is monitoring the situation and will provide additional details as appropriate and as they become available. Please reply back to FTAC Service Advisories if you have any questions or concerns regarding your services vulnerability or your support and we will try to answer any questions you may have.
Talos Blog: Cisco's Threat Intelligence Team is actively investigating the attack. Visit the Talos blog, for the latest information on Nyetya and how Cisco Security protects customers.
Login failure into UC applications can be the first symptom reported when ADFS is unavailable and the Single Sign-On functionality of Cisco UC platforms is enabled. Two possible workarounds exist in the situation where ADFS becomes offline.
Our first suggestion would be to temporarily disable Single Sign-On across your Cisco UC platforms. Disabling this feature would require end users provide their Windows domain credentials to log into their UC applications such as Jabber, Finesse, CUCM Administration etc. Disabling this feature is our first suggestion as it's the quickest way to restore login capabilities, while still allowing us to re-enable/re-configure Single Sign-On at any time.
Our second suggestion, exchanging new meta-data, requires an additional, working ADFS server. This workaround retains SSO functionality but requires that meta-data is exchanged between UC platforms and ADFS. Suggestion #1 above can be followed if the meta-data exchange is unsuccessful. Note that new custom claims and Relying Party trusts must be created on ADFS for this workaround to succeed.
DNS can be a requirement for IP phone registration in a UC environment. While this is not true for all situations, IP phones may attempt to resolve the hostname of a CUCM server before attempting and maintaining registration.
Note: DNS design can vary greatly between environments. Suggestions below may not be applicable.
If your DHCP servers are online, and your IP phones have a dedicated scope, our first suggestion would be to configure the DNS Servers scope option with any DNS servers that are still available. Fidelus Managed Services can reset your IP phones, in a staggered manner, to ensure they receive an updated DHCP lease reflecting a working DNS server.
If you have no available DNS servers, two options include to either enable DNS on a single IOS platform in your environment or deploy a temporary DNS server via OpenDNS. Regardless of which temporary solution is chosen, updating the DHCP scope for IP phones will still be required followed by resetting your IP phones in a staggered and control manner.
In most environments, CUCM proxies authentication requests to Active Directory, with many of these login attempts sourcing from Jabber and Finesse. If CUCM's LDAP authentication target is configured for an FQDN instead of IP address, and its DNS servers are offline, then login failure will be an inevitable symptom.
Our workaround for this situation would be to configure your LDAP authentication and synchronization servers with IPv4 addresses instead of FQDNs. Doing so will remove the requirement for DNS on login/authentication attempts from CUCM. Please contact Fidelus Managed Services for more information. This change can be done within minutes and requires no additional impact to UC services.
