Coming off their best offensive performance of the season, the Utah Jazz feel they're ready to take on the NBA's highest-scoring team.
The Golden State Warriors still have much at stake as well in Wednesday night's matchup with a Jazz team that's gaining confidence during its push for a playoff spot.
Utah has put itself into the postseason mix largely by shutting down opponents, but it couldn't be stopped in Monday's record-setting 123-75 rout of the Los Angeles Lakers. The Jazz made a franchise-best 17 3-pointers in 32 attempts to record a season-high point total.
Rodney Hood led the perimeter binge by going 8 of 9 from beyond the arc while scoring all of his 30 points in the first half, tying Jeff Hornacek and Randy Foye's team record for most 3s in a single game.
"I got a couple of clean looks and from there I just kept on shooting,'' Hood said. "The hoop looked really big."
Though such prolific displays have hardly been the norm for Utah (37-37), 28th in the NBA in scoring at 97.9 points per game, it's averaging 10.7 3-pointers and shooting 40.4 percent from distance over an 8-2 stretch that's vaulted it into seventh in the Western Conference.
While Utah, one game ahead of ninth-place Dallas, attempts to keep its tenuous hold on a playoff spot, Golden State (67-7) continues to chase history. The reigning NBA champions moved within six games of breaking the 1995-96 Chicago Bulls' single-season mark of 72 victories with Tuesday's 102-94 win over Washington.
The Warriors weren't at their best offensively, finishing 43.7 percent from the field, but came through with a 13-1 run to take an 87-73 lead with 9:32 remaining en route to their 54th straight regular-season home win.
Golden State, which lost at San Antonio on March 19 in the second half of its last back-to-back, plays five of its final eight at home.
Curry had 26 points and ended 6 of 8 from 3-point range. The 2015 league MVP has been mostly held in check by the Jazz this season, with his 18.0 scoring average and 39.1 field goal percentage for the series his lowest marks against any West team.
Klay Thompson has given Utah more trouble, hitting 12 of 22 3-pointers and averaging 21.0 points in the three wins. The All-Star guard was coming off consecutive 40-point outings in wins over Dallas and Philadelphia before being held to 16 on 7-of-19 shooting by the Wizards.
The Jazz counter with a defense that's yielding 88.2 points over their 10-game surge and limited Los Angeles to 30.6 percent in a loss that matched the worst in Lakers' history.
"As much as anything, you find emotion and energy when you play defense," Jazz coach Quin Snyder said. "As much as we were making shots, we were getting stops, too."
Golden State has won four straight and 10 of 11 in the series, including a 106-103 victory in Salt Lake City on Nov. 30, behind a tiebreaking 3-pointer from Curry with 52 seconds left.

There's nothing like a song to kick off the 100th episode of 3 Chords & the Truth.
Good thing, then, that happens to be our standard procedure here on the Big Show. Let me move on, though, before you accuse me of facetiousness.
But before I do, can somebody explain to me the concept of "Tobalby"? And if you can, I'll think that maybe you're a little tipsy on Potliquor.
YES, it's my show, and I love her madly, but sometimes the whole deal -- and tha late nights -- just make me loopy. If not Monster Raving Loony.
On this auspicious occasion of the completion of the100th of the 3 Chords & the Truth program -- or, if you will, programme -- I'll just get in the drivers seat and crank up the Radio, Radio. For it's a sound salvation.
After all, the last thing I want to be today is a Wallflower.
So repair all the broken bells and let them ring out greetings through the air to all the white birds . . . let them ring out this simple message from your Mighty Favog.
"Trust Me." And "Love Me."
BECAUSE it is that little fire in your belly that tells you the music here is important. That the program -- er, programme -- that is the Big Show fills an important niche that is ignored by the insipid tossers that fish and whistle while radio and the music industry burn.
But it's still, whatever way you cut it, quite easy to say "What a Wonderful World," even if we sometimes look on a fouled landscape and think . . . "Is That All There Is?"
Whatever. Sometimes you make good sense, sometimes you don't.

Matango (1963)
*. I came to Matango not as a fan of director Ishiro Honda, the man who created Gojira (and who went on to direct seven more Godzilla movies for Toho). Instead, I'd read William H. Hodgson's 1907 short story "The Voice in the Night," which is the somewhat stodgy but nevertheless still quite effective horror tale that Matango was loosely based on.
*. Hodgson's story has a sailing ship encountering a man who tells of being abandoned on an island with his fiancé where an invasive species of mushrooms infect people and turn them into fungi, a fate that the unhappy couple share. It was first filmed as a standalone episode for the TV show Suspicion in 1958 that you can watch online. It's more faithful to the original story but not very good. Matango was the second adaptation.
*. I wanted to like it. It's a movie with a certain reputation that doesn't quite rise to a cult among monster-movie fans. Apparently Steven Soderbergh wanted to remake it but couldn't get Toho's permission, and Guillermo del Toro also ranks it as a favourite. It was controversial in Japan because the make-up effects on the faces of the people turning into mushrooms resembled radiation burns. For many years it was an obscure, shlocky title, having been released directly to television in the U.S. as Attack of the Mushroom People and later on home video in the U.K. as Fungus of Terror.
*. Unfortunately it never lives up to its promise. I'm not sure what direction they were trying to go. The story is genuinely creepy, but the film isn't scary at all. Of course the full-blown mushroom people look ridiculous in their totally Toho rubber suits, but they're made to seem even sillier with the oddly giggling soundtrack and the fact that they seem mostly harmless.
*. The real danger the mushrooms present lies in their addictive quality. Once you've tasted wild 'shrooms you can't get enough. Much as with The Stuff, it soon becomes more a case of it eating you than you eating it.
*. This addiction angle is apparently what drew Honda to the project, who saw the film as a serious comment on youth culture in Japan at the time. Which would be interesting too, but again it's not a point that's clearly made. The group stranded on the island are starving so it makes sense they'd eat the mushrooms. And as it is, the 'shrooms don't result in cases of reefer madness but basically just make everyone happy and mellow. All the final-stage creatures seem to want is a hug. Nor is it all that effective as a swipe at rebel youth, since the gang stuck on the island are too old.
*. I can understand Soderbergh wanting to take a crack at a remake. There's potential here throughout. I loved the set of the infected ghost ship, and the mushroom garden might have been something truly original and grotesque instead of the chintzy rubber plantation it looks like. People do get fungal growths and they're disgusting, so if the effects had been better it could have been a real stomach-turner. The ending that has Akiko going full Betty Driscoll from The Invasion of the Body Snatchers could have been so much more sinister. The group dynamics, especially given the open question of who has eaten the forbidden fungus, might have played out like The Thing. So many might-have-beens.
*. Murai's expression of loss at the end is nicely ambiguous. "I'd be happier living on that island than in this city." Which makes sense if you're turning into a mushroom and that's where you lost your girlfriend. There may be an evocation here of a demonic fairyland. But what does he mean when he says that the citizens of Tokyo are just the same as the mushroom people? That in a modern, urban society we're all drugged-out zombies anyway? And why is such a message tacked onto the end? It hasn't been developed at all or even introduced up to that point, despite the presence of a few flashbacks from the characters.
*. There's no question this is a lot better than your usual Toho creature feature. But it leaves you with the feeling that it could have been even more. I'd like to think it could still be remade and something salvaged but at this point that ship has probably sailed. For better and for worse this is all the Matango we've got.

What's your problem with people turning into mushrooms? I've been turning into a mushroom for some time now, and I'm not about to stop now. What's your problem with mushroom people?
Alex Good March 5, 2022 at 5:26 am
No problem at all. As noted in the review, the mushroom people seem happy and well-adjusted.
Do you like to sit in dark, moldy places?
Wel, I visit your blog every day HAHAHAHAHA!
Alex Good Post author March 5, 2022 at 5:33 am
And you have problems with your spetic tank. So I guess it all adds up.

Well that sounds silly.
It is, and it doesn't move as quickly as it should. The middle section drags as there isn't much for anyone to do.
Bookstooge March 5, 2022 at 5:51 am
Sometimes it seems directors have ideas in their head, that unfortunately stay there but they still see them when creating the film. So it all makes sense to them, in their head. But for the rest of us, it is a big fat messy mess…
Yep. There was some potential here but it's mostly unrealized.

Cet article, publié le 27 janvier 2015 dans Glob Health Action 2015, 8, sous la direction de Christian Dagenais, et écrit avec les collaborations de Télesphore D. Somé, Michèle Boileau-Falardeau, Esther McSween-Cadieux et Valéry Ridde, est disponible au téléchargement en bas de cette page.
Despite efforts expended over recent decades, there is a persistent gap between the production of scientific evidence and its use. This is mainly due to the difficulty of bringing such knowledge to health workers and decision-makers so that it can inform practices and decisions on a timely basis. One strategy for transferring knowledge to potential users, that is, gaining increasing legitimacy, is knowledge brokering (KB), effectiveness of which in certain conditions has been demonstrated through empirical research. However, little is known about how to implement such a strategy, especially in the African context. The KB program presented here is aimed specifically at narrowing the gap by making scientific knowledge available to users with the potential to improve health-related practices and decision making in Burkina Faso. The program involves Canadian and African researchers, a knowledge broker, health practitioners, and policy-makers. This article presents the collaborative development of the KB strategy and the evaluation of its implementation at year 1. The KB strategy was developed in stages, beginning with a scoping study to ensure the most recent studies were considered. Two one-day workshops were then conducted to explore the problem of low research use and to adapt the strategy to the Burkinabè context. Based on these workshops, the KB program was developed and brokers were recruited and trained. Evaluation of the program's implementation after the first year showed that: 1) the preparatory activities were greatly appreciated by participants, and most considered the content useful for their work; 2) the broker had carried out his role in accordance with the logic model; and 3) this role was seen as important by the participants targeted by the activities and outputs. Participants made suggestions for program improvements in subsequent years, stressing particularly the need to involve decision-makers at the central level.

To be fair, iOS 12 has had a big problem. A very serious problem. A problem directly related to the previous version of the operating system. And is that the great controversy of the performance slowdown in iOS 11 has had a negative impact when it comes to updating the software. Despite this, the adoption of iOS 12 is not going bad.
Apple has recently confirmed that 70% of mobile devices already have iOS 12 installed . Until now, the data collected by Mixpanel indicated that the adoption reached 75% of the devices . And they were not so misguided. Taking into account that 72% of iPhone, iPad and iPod sold in the last four years have iOS 12 installed.
The information collected today comes from the official website of the Apple Developer Center . The results have been obtained on December 3, and show us how iOS 11 is currently being executed in 21% of mobile devices worldwide.
On the other hand, worth mentioning, 9% of the devices have a version older than iOS 11 and iOS 12 installed . Like iOS 5, iOS 6, iOS 7, iOS 8, iOS 9 and iOS 10.
The figures are devastating, iOS 12 is having a very good reception from users of iPhone, iPad and iPod touch. So much so, that it has far exceeded the adoption of iOS 11 at this point compared to last year. On December 4, 2017 we saw that 59% of devices had iOS 11 installed while 33% were still in iOS 10.
Additionally, it is also worth noting that in October iOS 12 was installed on 50% of devices . We talk about a 30% growth in less than two months. It's brutal! And you, what version of mobile software do you have installed on your iPhone and iPad?

An extraordinary act of defiance against the Nazi regime took place at Prague's Cathedral Church of Sts Cyril and Methodius (Credit: Radim Beznoska/Alamy)
The killing of Reinhard Heydrich, a key architect of the Final Solution, was one of the greatest acts of wartime resistance in occupied Europe.
By Lisette Allen
Prague – the city of 1,000 spires – has no shortage of incredible churches. But only one possesses a vault pockmarked with bullets that draws more visitors than its Baroque edifice above.
A short walk from the city's largest square, Karlovo Náměstí, on Resslova Street stands the Cathedral Church of Sts Cyril and Methodius, known informally by locals as the Parachutists Church. Its significance might easily be missed were it not for the memorial plaque on which a priest and a paratrooper flank the names of those who gave their lives here as part of an extraordinary act of heroic defiance against the brutal Nazi regime. Having lived in Prague for almost a decade, I have visited most of its famous monuments and religious spaces. But I invariably bring visiting friends and family here and never fail to find it a deeply humbling experience.
It is more than 75 years since 18 June 1942, when seven Czech and Slovak airmen involved in Operation Anthropoid – the assassination of Reinhard Heydrich, acting Reich Protector of Bohemia and Moravia and the third highest-ranking Nazi – made their last stand in the eerie basement. The killing of Heydrich, a key architect of the Final Solution, was to be one of the greatest acts of wartime resistance in occupied Europe.
Today, the National Monument to the Heroes of the Heydrich Terror, as the church's basement is now known, attracts 60,000 visitors annually. The crypt, located behind a huge metal door that divides it from the main exhibition space, is much as it would have been when the young Czech and Slovak soldiers sought refuge here. It's a setting that will be familiar to history buffs who have come across this remarkable story thanks to recent film adaptations such as Anthropoid and The Man with the Iron Heart, adapted from Lauren Binet's Prix Goncourt winning novel HHhH.
The gun battle began in the church above, which the SS attempted to storm in the early hours of the morning. They had been tipped off by Karel Čurda, a fellow British-trained Czechoslovak parachutist who collaborated with the Gestapo in exchange for a new identity and one million Reichsmarks. Today the church functions primarily as a place of worship and is only open to tourists at weekends: the task of commemorating Operation Anthropoid is left to the museum and crypt below.

Downstairs, the atmosphere is sombre. Bronze busts of the seven men who gave their lives stand near the deep stone shafts cut into the wall to hold coffins. It was in this crypt that the paratroopers who remained alive after the initial shootout in the church above entrenched themselves. They managed to hold out for hours against 700 Waffen SS and Gestapo troops who had the building surrounded; in desperation, the Nazis resorted to flooding the basement with fire hoses. Low on ammunition and with the water level rising, the Czech soldiers took their own lives rather than face capture; some shot themselves, others took cyanide.
This moving chapter in the nation's history is of great importance to Czechs today, explained museum curator, Petr Hampl. "Czechs, primarily because of the Munich Agreement [an international treaty signed in 1938 that allowed Hitler to annex significant chunks of Czechoslovak territory], didn't have the opportunity to fight against the Nazis directly, so it has a huge symbolic significance. It shows that we fought, despite the fact our country was occupied, and we never sided with the Nazis," he said.
Heydrich had been sent to Prague in September 1941 as governor of the Czech territory, as it was felt his predecessor, Konstantin von Neurath, had been too lenient. The bloody crackdown Heydrich instigated earned him the fearsome moniker 'The Hangman'.
It wasn't long before the Czechoslovak government-in-exile began plotting Heydrich's assassination in revenge for his brutality. Josef Gabčík and Jan Kubiš were selected to carry out the vital mission. Both had fled to Britain to join the Czechoslovak army-in-exile and were subsequently trained by the Special Operations Executive: the so-called 'Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare' charged with conducting espionage and sabotage in occupied Europe. On 29 December 1941, the pair were parachuted into Czechoslovakia by the RAF.

But for their daring undertaking to succeed, Gabčík and Kubiš needed support on the ground. They had the help of five other British-trained Czechoslovak paratroopers – Josef Bublík, Jan Hruby, Josef Valčík, Jaroslav Švarc and Adolf Opálka – with whom they would eventually make their legendary last stand. Although none of these other men wielded a weapon directly at the Reichprotector themselves, they all played an essential role in the operation along with the equally heroic Czech resistance networks.
On 27 May 1942, Gabčík and Kubiš ambushed Heydrich's car in the Prague suburb of Kobylisy as the governor's vehicle was forced to slow down at a hairpin bend in the road. Gabčík stepped out in front of the black Mercedes convertible and attempted to open fire, but his Sten sub-machine gun jammed. Heydrich ordered his driver to stop, then stood up and returned fire. Kubiš took the opportunity to throw a modified anti-tank grenade at the vehicle, which exploded, blowing off a door. It was the shrapnel injuries sustained in this explosion that triggered the septicaemia that eventually killed Heydrich eight days later.
Gabčík, Kubiš and Valčík, who had been appointed lookout, fled the scene and eventually made their way to a hideout in the basement of the Cathedral Church of Sts Cyril and Methodius organised by the Czech underground in co-operation with Bishop Gorazd, the church's Orthodox priest. They were concealed there for three weeks. By the time the huge Nazi-led manhunt reached its conclusion, they had been joined by the other British-trained Czech paratroopers who had supported the operation, until the commandos totalled seven in number.

The abundant handwritten notes left in various languages at the crypt's entrance demonstrate how the parachutists' heroism still has the power to move even the grandchildren and great-grandchildren of those who fought in World War II. I saw copious red paper poppies, a British symbol of wartime sacrifice, bouquets of fresh flowers and candles with messages like 'Kluci děkujeme! Nikdy se navzdame!' (Thanks boys! We will never surrender!). One unsigned note in English read simply: 'Your courage is beyond what I can imagine.'
Heydrich's assassination changed history, causing the Allies to immediately revoke the Munich Agreement and ensuring that the Sudetenland, the Czechoslovak borderlands annexed by Hitler in 1938, would be returned following the German defeat. It also provoked terrible reprisals – including the destruction of the villages of Lidice and Ležáky – that bolstered sympathy to the Czech cause across the globe. Thousands worldwide named their daughters Lidice as an act of solidarity, ensuring those massacred would never been forgotten.
"Awareness abroad is not small," Hampl observed. "The bravery of the paratroopers and their helpers creates a very powerful story that visitors are interested in, regardless of which country it took place in."

Boman To Essay Ratan Tata
Boman Irani To Play Ratan Tata In PM
Boman Irani To Play Ratan Tata In PM Narendra Modi
Boman Irani is all set to play the role of business tycoon Ratan Tata in the film PM Narendra Modi.
"I have always received comments on social media that I resemble Mr Ratan Tata. I always thought the day the character comes along I will be more than happy to play it. So when Omung, Sandip and Vivek called me for the role and I immediately agreed to do it. The team is quite wonderful and Omung is doing a great job, we have already shot my part and it went very well. I must say that Vivek has worked really hard to get where he has gotten with the character. It was a pleasure to see Vivek maturing into an artist who takes on such a difficult role, he has done it with great maturity and homework." stated Boman Irani.
Ratan Naval Tata, a family patriarch of Tata Empire, has always praised Prime Minister Narendra Modi in the past. It will be interesting to see Boman Irani essaying this role.
Producer Mr Sandip SSingh said, "Mr Boman and I have worked together earlier in Shireen Farhad Ki Toh Nikal Padi. In spite of being so busy with his own directorial venture and prior commitments, as soon as we reached out to him, he agreed. He was just a phone call away. He is an actor who motivates people and rehearses with his co-actors at least 50 times. I am extremely happy and proud that he is part of this film, nobody else could have done a better job. I wish to work with him in every film."
PM Narendra Modi the biopic will traverse the journey of Narendra Damodardas Modi from his humble beginnings to his years as Chief Minister onto his landmark win at the 2014 election and finally being nominated as the Primister Of India.
The film is produced by Sandip Ssingh and Suresh Oberoi. Directed by Omung Kumar, the film stars Vivek Oberoi as Narendra Modi, Barkha Bisht his wife, Jashodaben Narendrabhai Modi, Zarina Wahab as his mother, Heeraben Modi, Manoj Joshi as Amit Shah and many more.

Show the proof, or cut it out with the Kaspersky Lab Russia rumors
The current state of cybercrime
Who is a target for ransomware attacks?
Israel hacked Kaspersky, caught Russia using the software to hack U.S.
Privacy and Security Fanatic
By Ms. Smith, CSO | PT
Ms. Smith (not her real name) is a freelance writer and programmer with a special and somewhat personal interest in IT privacy and security issues.
Cyber attacks cost U.S. enterprises $1.3 million on average in 2017
IT security budgets, as well the costs of data breaches, are up for North American enterprises and SMBs.
U.S. Army illustration
In 2017, the average cost of a data breach in North America is $1.3 million for enterprises and $117,000 for small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs), according to a report from Kaspersky Lab. Kaspersky — gasp!
(Updated to change 117 million to 117K)
Yeah, yeah, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) issued a directive on Sept. 13 banning the use of Kaspersky Lab software at federal agencies. Banned software included Kaspersky Anti-Virus, Kaspersky Internet Security, Kaspersky Total Security, Kaspersky Small Office Security, Kaspersky Anti Targeted Attack, Kaspersky Endpoint Security, Kaspersky Cloud Security (Enterprise), Kaspersky Cybersecurity Services, Kaspersky Private Security Network and Kaspersky Embedded Systems Security.
[ Keep up with 8 hot cyber security trends (and 4 going cold). Give your career a boost with top security certifications: Who they're for, what they cost, and which you need. | Sign up for CSO newsletters. ]
The move by DHS was followed by the U.S. Senate passing an amendment attached to the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) on Sept. 18. That also banned Kaspersky software across the federal government. Best Buy and Office Depot have also stopped selling the software.
When you drill down into the issue, though, it seems the only "sin" Kaspersky has committed is that it is a Russian company. The rest seems like geo-politics, worries about "ties" between Kaspersky and the Russian government and intelligence agencies. Every potential scenario that has been laid out seems like nothing more than conjecture and Cold War tactics; show the proof or shut up. Oh wait, the powers that be didn't think they had to — despite all that official banning, no actual proof was shown.
Unless real proof is shown, then news coming out of Kaspersky Lab is still good to me. For years, Kaspersky has been exposing cyber attacks — and the attackers — to the world. Until very recently, Kaspersky Lab software was popular in federal agencies, enterprises, small businesses and homes. So, yes, the company did have a good perspective to see IT security economics even though the data for this report was compiled from a survey of more than 5,000 businesses across 30 countries.
The cost of cyber attacks
Now, back to Kaspersky Lab's news about the average cost of a data breach. Globally, the cost of a data breach for enterprises has risen 11 percent in 2017. In the U.S., the average cost of a cyber attack for enterprises grew from $1.2 million in 2016 to $1.3 million in 2017. That's 10 times higher than the $117K cost of a breach for SMBs.
Overall, businesses are looking at IT security as more of an investment in 2017. In fact, IT security budgets are up, reaching 18 percent for enterprises compared to 16 percent in 2016. Even small businesses with fewer resources are investing more in IT security budgets this year — 14 percent compared to 13 percent in 2016.
In North America, the Kaspersky Lab study found that the following incidents have the most severe financial impact in 2017:
Financial impact on enterprises
Physical loss of devices or media containing data ($2.8 million)
Incidents affecting IT infrastructure hosted by a third party ($2.2 million)
Electronic leakage of data ($1.9 million)
Inappropriate IT resource use by employees ($1.1 million)
Viruses and malware ($519,000)
Financial impact on SMBs
Targeted attacks ($188,000)
Incidents involving non-computing connected devices ($152,000)
Physical loss of devices or media containing data ($83,000)
Inappropriate IT resource use by employees ($79,000)
Viruses and malware ($68,000)
The top "pain points" with the largest average costs after a breach for enterprises include $207,000 for internal staff wages, $172,000 for improved software/infrastructure, and $153,000 spent on cybersecurity training.
The top pain points for SMBs in 2017 include $21,000 in lost business and another $21,000 in costs related to employing external professionals.
When a third party is breached, that security failure is one of the most damaging to enterprises.
The Internet of Things (IoT) can be another extremely damaging security failure, given the widespread use of factory default passwords that allow IoT devices to become hosts for botnets.
Highest IT security budgets
Organizations involved in government, including defense, and financial institutions reported having the highest IT security budgets — over $5 million. IT and telecom companies, as well as utilities and power companies, spend about $3 million on IT security budgets.
However, as Kaspersky Lab noted, when it comes what is spent on IT security "per head," government organizations spend $959 per head, while IT and telecoms spend $1,258 per head, utilities companies spend $1,344 per head, and financial firms spend $1,436 per head.
Lowest IT security budgets
Industrial firms, which rely on industrial control systems (ICS) infrastructure, have some of the lowest IT security budgets at $748,000 even though attacks on ICS infrastructure are up 5 percent in 2017.
How companies spend their IT security budgets
After businesses increase IT security budgets, 39 percent goes toward protecting increasingly complex IT infrastructure. Improving the level of specialist security experts is another important expenditure, up to 32 percent in 2017 compared to 29 percent in 2016.
The cost of consultant advice is also up, with businesses using 11 percent of their security budgets in 2017, up 1 percent from last year. There was a significant drop in increasing security budgets for new business activities or expansions, with spending dropping from 45 percent in 2016 to 28 percent in 2017.

Cristòfol Escuder (Barcelona segle XVIII - Lleida 1793) va ser un impressor i llibreter català.

Era fill de l'impressor barceloní Pere Escuder instal·lat al barri de Santa Maria del Mar. Cristòfol es va traslladar a Lleida el 1760. Un any abans, Pere Escuder l'havia proveït de nous tipus, que havia comprat a la foneria del convent de carmelites de la Rambla barcelonina: "15 arroves de lletra atanàsia a 12 peces de 8 lo quintar en les quals hi ha posat 20 arroves de metall a 14 peces de 8 lo quintar". Pere Escuder va enviar el seu fill Cristòfol a Lleida amb tot aquest material, i aquest va obrir al carrer Major un local nou, amb maquinària també nova. D'aquell mateix any es conserva el llibre Quatre-cents aforismes catalans de Joan Carles Amat. El 1761 Pere Escuder va viatjar a Lleida, mesos abans de morir. Cristòfol va ser l'hereu, i amb la seva dona, Rosa Compte, germana de Rafael Compte i Ferrando, un important impressor reusenc, va revifar la impremta lleidatana durant una vintena llarga d'anys (1761-1793) amb impressions molt diversificades i d'una bona qualitat. Quantitativament, dels seus obradors surten goigs, estampes i romanços. Aquests textos sovint anaven acompanyats d'il·lustracions, i per això es coneixen molts gravats al boix d'aquest impressor. Al costat d'això Escuder també va imprimir cèdules reials, de les que se'n coneixen més de cent vint. La resta de la seva producció és literatura religiosa, no només fulls volants (oracions, indulgències i càntics) sinó vides de sants i sermons, sobretot de dos oradors sagrats molt populars: Diego José de Cádiz i Joan Baptista Arajol i Lledós, teòleg canonge de la catedral lleidatana.

Cristòfor Escuder va morir el 1793, i la impremta va passar a mans de la seva viuda Rosa Compte i la seva filla Rosalia. El 1801, la viuda Escuder va incorporar a la gestió de la impremta Bonaventura Corominas, un impressor format a Osca a la impremta de la viuda de Diego de Larumbe i casat amb Antònia Compte, filla de Rafael Compte, l'impressor reusenc, i neboda de Rosa.

There are several kinds of rituals we undergo through in our life. Wedding is one the rituals that individuals attend to in their life. The aim of doing a wedding is to show the beginning of a marriage relationship. Wedding is one of the fruits of a relationship. It has been known to be the pleasure of people to end their courtship by doing a wedding. There are several advantages of relationships. Relationships allow both parties to assist one another materially and spiritually.
Relationship allows both parties and their parents to know one another. Relationship makes both parties to know and work on their weaknesses. To succeed in a relationship is not something easy. There are a couple of elements that are needed during relationships. Love is one of the driving force in a relationship. It is mandatory for individuals to love one another genuinely for their relationship to succeed. Effective communication is needed in a relationship. It is through communication that individuals can detect and solve problems during courtship. It is very important to forgive one another in a relationship.
It is hard for individuals to relate without offending one another. It is good for one to forgive one during an offense. It is obvious for such character traits to make individuals to get into a marriage relationship by doing a wedding. Weddings are much liked in the society. It has been known for weddings to give happiness to the parents of both partners. Individuals who wed earn prestige in the society. Wedding supplements the love of both partners. It is necessary for a wedding ceremony to be organized well to avoid humiliation. It is the pleasure of couples to have a stylish wedding ceremony. There are many factors to consider when planning for a stylish wedding. Wedding site should be the foremost factor to put ahead when planning for a wedding. Some of the places that can be chosen for a wedding ceremony are church grounds, gardens, lakeside, beach, and parks. Wedding invitations should be regarded when planning for a wedding.
Wedding invitations should be done through printings and presented to friends, relatives, and guests. It should be in our mind to consider transport when planning for a wedding. It should be our target to use buses to transport all people except the bride and the groom to the wedding ground. Special cars should be used to carry the bride and the groom to the wedding ceremony. Decoration should be regarded when planning for a wedding. Decoration should be done to the wedding venue, wedding vehicles, and wedding facilities. It should be our target to hire chefs to ensure colorful cakes and delicious meals are cooked for the wedding. Wedding photographers should be hired for the wedding.
How to Quickly and Effectively Group Awards While seeking for trophies and awards, it does not hurt to start by understanding their classification. Regardless of the nature of the event where awards will be presented, having proper preparation is unquestionable. In times gone by, various awards were handed out. It is recorded that the first ever Olympic games winners were presented laurel wreaths for their accomplishments. The bizarre rewarding of ancient Greeks using wrecked war ship remains is another testament of this. The element of affordability and personalization have been added to awards in the modern era. It is now easier for award plaques to be created from different components as well as in different forms. The use of a range of materials such as crystal, steel, metal and wood is commonplace in this age. It is now easy to match a ceremony to the accompanying material to build an award. There is a clear diversification in beauty of material classes used.
It is, therefore, easier to classify awards based on their constituent material.
Undoubtedly among the best components for award molding is acrylic. It can serve different purposes including being used on furniture, paints and more.

There is some risk associated with riding hot air balloons despite the fact that this is a fun filled experience. Before hopping on board to enjoy a bird's eye view, it is a good idea to make sure that there is a guarantee of your safety. Talked about in the article below is what you need to learn about Albuquerque balloon rides.
All hot air balloons need to have some basic safety equipment. Browse the internet as this is a platform you can easily obtain safety information from experts. A fire extinguisher, spark lighter, and parachute are among the things that need to be on board. The lighter will come in handy in the event that the flame went off, and the fire extinguisher is for reasons that are rather obvious. In the event that the elements seem rather harsh, a drop line will certainly help have a safe landing.
You will be taking a step in the right direction boarding an excellently maintained balloon. The smallest slit on the balloon's fabric is enough to cause take off issues. Any damage needs to be corrected immediately to avoid putting people in danger. Prior to entering, take a look so as to ascertain the balloon is not only clean but also organized. Disorganization means that the management is most likely not taking their job seriously. In a nutshell, proper servicing of the balloon is important if you are to stay safe.
Being on a hot air balloon calls for a high level of alertness on your part. Always keep an eye on all objects around you as you enjoy the flight. Among the objects we are talking about include masts and electrical lines that may pose danger in case the balloon rammed into such. It's possible for pilots to get carried away by other things and fail to notice the balloon heading towards the obstacle. This makes important to be on the lookout so as to tell the pilot the pilot of any oncoming danger.
A flight with a pilot that's experienced is essential in this case. Instead of a newbie pilot, it is a better idea to be in the hands of an experienced pilot. Bear in mind that pilots that are experienced have handled numerous situations making them the best candidate to get the balloon out of harm's way when things seem to be going wrong.
Paying attention to all that you're told is essential. Seasoned hot air balloon companies will at all times enlighten passengers on rules that have to be obeyed while on board. Keep in mind that these rules are not meant to make you feel bad but they are there to ensure that you are safe. Complying ensures that your safety is with a high degree guaranteed.


The Sherlocks have released a video for their new single 'Heart Of Gold', which is out on 6th November via Blue Records.
'Heart Of Gold' produced Gavin Monaghan packs a powerful indie punch, with a nod to the bands inspirations. It is a catchy sing a long track reminiscent of young love and the decline of a relationship. The new single shows that this dynamic bunch of musicians have come so far and there is no sign of them slowing down.
Four-piece rockers, The Sherlocks, were formed in Sheffield when brothers Josh (guitar) and Andy (bass) Davidson moved in next door to brothers Kiaran (vocals/guitar) and Brandon (drums) Crook's grandparents. Bonding over their love of football and music, the two pairs of brothers were inspired by their favourite artists including Arctic Monkeys, The Beatles, Libertines, Oasis and The Jam. This led to several jamming sessions in late 2010, where they crafted their trademark sound and The Sherlocks were born.
Their debut single 'Live for the Moment' peaked at number 91 in Official UK Singles Chart and the second Single, 'Escapade', at number 45. They have sold out over 300 venues nationwide – the O2 Academy and Manchester Academy being two of them. They played Isle of Wight festival this year and were asked to perform again due to a great performance.

Katana is an ERP grade suite of tools for Utility Networks and Contractors to manage the operational aspects of running a network or performance based works contracts and field crews. Katana delivers significant cost savings through automated processing, integration of disparate data sources to improve operational decision making, and real-time reporting to ensure those ongoing decisions generate sustainable improvements.
Katana is a series of modules that leverages the utility's existing infrastructure and investment in systems such as GIS, Asset Management, MDMS, and SCADA. Katana supports both integrated retailer-distribution models, and stand alone network owner/manager models such as found in deregulated markets.
For deregulated markets there is strong support for retailer interfaces, and reporting based on retailer "supply" and responsibility for every metered point. Katana is a straightforward install often using pre-defined data and workflow models for specific markets that reflect best practice and are known to work.
Katana employs TVD's time proven implementation methodology ensuring an out of the box, low risk, fast install; Typically 60-90 days. Delivered as a low upfront cost and monthly license model, plus implementation services.
Integrate diverse information from across the network and facilitate quick and effective decision making about real-time issues, thereby optimizing resources and improving delivery of service to customers and stakeholders.
With it's unique data driven connectivity model from Feeder to Meter, Katana automatically generates SAIDI, CAIDI, SAIFI calculations and reporting, retailer notifications, and key/sensitive client management information, including compliance reporting with simplified audit trails for internal and external audit. Improve the efficiency of work order generation and management of the field crews, or more effectively support a third party contractor's field crew.
A central view of all planned and unplanned outages, including customers and assets affected, estimated times for restoration, SAIDI, CAIDI, SAIFI calculations, integration with switching for planning and actions, outage indications and "most likely point of failure" determination, integrated real-time retailer reporting, load movement impacts, full audit log and reporting for post outage analysis.
Control room staff can view schematics they are familiar with from GIS or CAD. The state of network items are shown (eg switches), items can be changed, or switching plans recorded directly on the schematic. Similar functionality to maps with a mini-schematic, zoom, pan and add pins or tags.
Users can easily jump between Network viewer, Schematics, and GIS views depending on their preference.
Complete set of functionality to quickly create a switch plan for planned or un-planned work. Click and record switch plan creation, switch plan and workflow authorization and estimated outage statistics for planned outages. Integration with Outage Manager for automated retailer and customer notifications. Template switch steps depending on switch type or user definable switching templates. When used with Katana Works, users can allocate switch steps to specific work orders, and crews, and attach those to an Outage.
To deliver end-end job dispatch for Networks that run their own internal and/or external crews, full works management can be easily added to Katana Networks. This includes software modules to support the works order creation and management process, from the network to the field.
* A switch plan can be created withing Networks that utilises two crews, and then individual switching steps within the plan can be allocated to different workorders that are sent to the appropriate crew. As those work orderts are updated that information can be linked to the switching plan.
* In deregulated markets Retailers can use the Katana web portal to create and view Service Requests, or integrate via webservices to Katana to submit Service Requests and get updates automatically as the work is updated in the field.
User configurable Service Request and Work Order forms and workflows easily configurable by you. These allow allocation of work to field crews, auditing of actions and state changes and materials estimates for better job planning. Work can be automatically imported from CIS. Data can be pushed back to the various systems that need to be updated e.g. CIS, GIS etc.
Either manual drag and drop, or automated scheduling of work based on multiple parameters such as capacity, skills, regions, drive time, start/finish or customer constraints.
Overlay WOs, resources and field crew locations on the GIS and TVD supplied street and address level maps or internet mapping from Google or Bing.
Katana includes an own optional Call Taker module. This can be used by non-CIS staff to log SRs, view the call history of a customer and provide a useful backup in times of wide scale outages.
InField is a laptop application optimsed for utility staff with backend functions that allow full audit history of sending jobs to the field, getting updates back, and ensure clear written communication of what needs to be done and when. Includes mobile hardware and apps for crews that provide complete field workflow, including WO's, status updates, and mapping. Mobile data solutions include DMR, MPT, WiFi and cellular.
A highly configurable display which can be projected onto a wall or viewed on screen. It shows all key indicators in an easily read graphical manner and supports the Katana Networks and Works environments.
TVD provides all services to integrate and full Katana implementation, or selected modules, into existing client facilities such as SCADA and GIS, as seamless as possible. We connect for integration purposes via CSV/FTP, Webservices and HTTP.
Configurable pro-active management of work and alerts to dispatchers for pending issues. Notifications and alarms can be set for SLA breaches, alerts of pending time expiry, failure of crew to report in and any combination of workflow related issues.
Real-time tracking of switching actions coupled with meter level connectivity ensures SAIDI, CAIDI and SAIFI and any service level KPI's are captured just as part of operating the network, and doing the jobs. Full audit logs can be reported on. This auditable history created simply as part of running the network, ensures simpler regulatory reporting, and significantly lower costs of compliance and auditing.
User configurable SR and WO forms and workflows. These allow allocation of work to field crews, auditing of actions and state changes and materials estimates for better job planning.

Con utile, in economia aziendale, si indica la differenza tra ricavi e costi di un'impresa.

Se tale differenza è positiva viene comunemente chiamato profitto o surplus o avanzo, in caso contrario viene chiamato perdita o deficit o disavanzo.

Descrizione

Obblighi giuridici
Le aziende, anche per adempiere ad obblighi legali, devono rilevare l'utile periodicamente. Di solito il periodo al termine del quale si procede alla redazione del bilancio e quindi alla rilevazione dell'utile o della perdita è definito "esercizio" (vedi bilancio di esercizio). Pertanto si definisce più correttamente utile d'esercizio la differenza tra i ricavi ed i costi che - secondo il principio della competenza economica - si riferiscono al periodo considerato. In altre parole, l'utile rappresenta l'incremento del patrimonio dell'azienda prodotto tramite la gestione nel corso dell'esercizio. Quando non ci si trova all'interno di un'azienda, ma di singoli affari, l'utile può essere determinato come differenza tra ricavi e spese al termine dell'operazione.

Obblighi fiscali
L'utile è soggetto a imposta. Nelle imprese individuali l'utile è considerato reddito d'impresa del titolare e sottoposto all'imposta sul reddito (IRPEF) come anche accade per i lavoratori dipendenti per il loro reddito. Lo stesso meccanismo si applica in proporzione alle quote sociali, ai soci delle società di persone. Una tassazione autonoma in capo alla società è prevista per le società soggette all'imposta sul reddito delle società (IRES), che pagano un'aliquota del 27,50% (a partire dal periodo di imposta 2017 sarà ridotta al 24%, ai sensi dell'art. 61, Legge 28 dicembre 2015, n. 208).

In tutti i casi l'utile soggetto ad imposte (cosiddetto "utile fiscale") può differire da quello del bilancio (cosiddetto "utile civilistico" derivante dall'applicazione dei principi contabili nazionali o internazionali) a causa dei diversi criteri di valutazione previsti. Ad esempio, nella valutazione dei crediti da svalutare per inesigibilità probabile o certa, il bilancio civilistico deve essere redatto con "prudenza" considerando tutte le perdite probabili e certe di competenza dell'esercizio. Invece, nell'utile fiscale, le perdite su crediti (un costo) accantonate a fondo non potranno superare lo 0,50 % del totale crediti. In questo caso si ha una "deducibilità fiscale" di un costo ridotta, che genera pertanto una differenza tra utile fiscale e civilistico.

Pertanto, dal risultato d'esercizio (utile lordo civilistico o "utile prima delle imposte"), determinato in sede di bilancio, si apportano le variazioni positive o negative, calcolate in sede fiscale a partire proprio dal risultato civilistico: si ottiene così l'imponibile fiscale/tributario o reddito (lordo) d'impresa. Una volta individuate le imposte e calcolato il reddito netto, allora si può ritornare al bilancio per ottenere l'utile netto ("utile dopo le imposte"). Da notare che un'impresa può essere in perdita fiscale pur con utile civilistico positivo, e viceversa.

Anche se non corretti dal punto di vista formale, ma invalsi nell'uso, i termini "utile fiscale" o "utile lordo" equivalgono al reddito imponibile.

Nell'ordinamento italiano, come regola generale le perdite su azioni e obbligazioni (italiani o emessi da soggetto esteri) ai fini fiscali non possono essere compensate con cedole o dividendi, né in relazione allo stesso strumento finanziario, né fra strumenti finanziari di tipo diverso o emessi da intermediari finanziari differenti (ad esempio perdite su bond argentini, compensate con guadagni su obbligazioni di un altro Paese).. Nel caso dei BTP acquistati sopra la pari non è ammessa la compensazione della perdita alla scadenza con le cedole incassate; le perdite devono precedere almeno di un giorno i guadagni.

Destinazione degli utili
L'utile può essere destinato all'autofinanziamento dell'azienda quando viene trattenuto nell'impresa stessa oppure può essere prelevato dall'imprenditore o distribuito tra i soci, in proporzione alla quota o al numero di azioni possedute (dividendi).

Per le società di capitali, la legge italiana e spesso gli statuti delle stesse società impongono di destinare obbligatoriamente una quota dell'utile, pari al 5% dell'utile stesso, ad autofinanziamento, tramite accantonamenti a riserve del patrimonio. Nelle imprese individuali e nelle società di persone la destinazione dell'utile è lasciata alla volontà dell'imprenditore e dei soci.

Alcune imprese distribuiscono quote azionarie ai propri dipendenti alla pari o a un prezzo incentivato. Si tratta di un meccanismo con effetti simili a quelli delle stock option conferite ai dirigenti. La partecipazione dei lavoratori agli utili di impresa consente di:
 collegare meglio gli obiettivi di profitto individuali con quelli dell'azienda e premiare la produttività con un meccanismo simile a una retribuzione variabile: se l'azienda aumenta gli utili, automaticamente viene distribuito anche ai dipendenti un maggiore dividendo per azione;
 avere una partecipazione attiva dei dipendenti alla gestione dell'impresa, non legata solo alle rappresentanze sindacali, in virtù dei diritti di voto nell'Assemblea degli Azionisti;
 ammettere i lavoratori alla proprietà dell'azienda, rappresentata e suddivisa nelle quote azionarie.

Il codice civile italiano (artt. 2101, 2102 e 2554) prevede il diritto dei prestatori di lavoro alla partecipazione agli utili d'impresa, salvo diversa disposizione interna. Lo stesso codice civile vieta il patto leonino, per le società di persone e per le società di capitali, patto in cui uno o più soci sono destinatari solamente degli utili o delle perdite societarie.

Sebbene i lavoratori non siano automaticamente detentori di quote di capitale, ad essi si può pure applicare il brocardo cuius commoda, eius et incommoda da cui per i soci discende il divieto dei patti leonini, essendo impattati in modo significativo da qualsiasi perdita aziendale.

SHOPWORN - A Legend on the Road
Bobby Fischer's 1964 Simul Tour
A Legend on the Road deals with Bobby before he had become a household name. A complete unknown he wasn't, not with six U.S. Championships to his credit - including a scintillating 11-0 in the 1963/64 affair - but U.S. chess players bad never had a real opportunity to see him in action without traveling thousands of miles.
SHOPWORN - A Cutting-Edge Gambit against the Queen's Indian
Hit the Nimzowitsch Variation with 6. d5!
The ultra-sharp pawn sacrifice 6.d5 has caused a revolution in the 4… Ba6 line of the Queen's Indian Defence in recent years. The ingenious gambit was hotly debated at the highest level by players like Alexey Shirov, for White, and Peter Leko, for Black. At club level it became a dangerous weapon for attackers.
SHOPWORN - The Zaitsev System
Fresh Ideas and New Weapons for Black in the Ruy Lopez
The Zaitsev System is one of the most dynamic setups for Black in the ever popular Ruy Lopez chess opening. When Alexey Kuzmin joined the coaching staff of World Champion Anatoly Karpov in the 1980s he started analysing the Zaitsev System, and later continued his investigations as a second of Alexander Morozevich. For this book he has updated and improved his analysis, and found countless innovations that change the assessments of many lines.

This year's San Diego Comic-Con has already given some big reveals. One of the biggest, however, is that The Walking Dead's titular character, Rick Grimes, will exit the show after this season. Andrew Lincoln and company confirmed this during the show's Hall H panel.
Lincoln has been a staple of the series since the show's inception back in 2010. The show has revolved around Rick Grimes and how he is able to lead a group of survivors through a zombie apocalypse. Fans have been able to see the character go through many hardships, from waking up from a coma to making tough decisions as the group's leader. It will all culminate in this next season.
The actor later went on to state his regret for this reveal, believing fans deserved better than the leaks.
At the end of the panel, AMC treated fans to a trailer for the upcoming season.
AMC's The Walking Dead makes its return on Sunday, October 7 at 9/8c.

Q: Twitpic API from iPhone - pic posted but no URL returned? This is a weird one...
With the help of people here, I've got my iPhone app posting to TwitPic successfully - and when I first got it working, I could see an XML result being returned too...
But for some reason over the past two days, the API call seems to succeed - the pic appears on TwitPic - but... the response seems to be empty...
Anyone have any ideas? Seen anything similar? The code I use to invoke the API call is:
    ASIFormDataRequest *request = [[[ASIFormDataRequest alloc] initWithURL:url] autorelease];

[request setData:twitpicImage forKey:@"media"];
[request setPostValue:username forKey:@"username"];
[request setPostValue:password forKey:@"password"];

// Initiate the WebService request
[request start];

// Need to find out how I can access the result from this call...

/* Result structure should be:

 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <rsp stat="ok">
        <mediaid>abc123</mediaid>
        <mediaurl>http://twitpic.com/abc123</mediaurl>
    </rsp>
*/

// Check for errors
if ([[request responseHeaders] objectForKey:@"stat"] != @"ok"){
    UIAlertView *errorAlert = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:@"TwitPic Submission"
                                                    message:[[request responseHeaders] objectForKey:@"mediaurl"]
                                                   delegate:nil
                                          cancelButtonTitle:@"OK!"
                                          otherButtonTitles:nil];
    [errorAlert show];
    [errorAlert release];
}

NSString *twitpicURL = [[request responseHeaders] objectForKey:@"mediaurl"];

UIAlertView *alert = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:@"TwitPic Submission"
                                      message:twitpicURL
                                      delegate:nil
                                      cancelButtonTitle:@"OK!"
                                      otherButtonTitles:nil];

I tried just dumping out [request responseString]... that's empty now also. That WAS showing a response, for sure.
As always, any help gratefully received. I'll give back once I'm able!
Cheers,
Jamie.

A: OK, problem solved :-)
Check out this website: link text
Simply add these lines to your request:
[request setDidFinishSelector:@selector(requestDone:)];
[request setDidFailSelector:@selector(requestWentWrong:)];

and the following methods:
- (void)requestDone:(ASIHTTPRequest *)request { NSString *response = [request responseString];}
- (void)requestWentWrong:(ASIHTTPRequest *)request { NSError *error = [request error];}

NSString *response holds all the important feedback from twitpic.
Enjoy :-)

A: AH! I think I've found the problem. Seems to be a problem with TwitPic - 2 days ago I changed my password to a mixed-case one with numbers and letters. I just reset it back to an all lowercase one and... it all works fine.
I've sent a message to twitpic support - hopefully they'll look in to it!
Jamie.
