Stoke City Football Club, que chamava-se Stoke Football Club até 1925, é um clube de futebol da cidade de Stoke-on-Trent na Inglaterra, que disputa atualmente a EFL Championship. Fundado em 1863, o clube é o mais antigo da Premier League e o segundo clube profissional mais antigo do mundo, atrás apenas de Notts County.

Seu primeiro e único grande troféu até o momento, a Copa da Liga foi conquistada em 1972, quando o time derrotou o Chelsea por 2–1. A classificação mais alta do clube na primeira divisão é a quarta, que foi alcançada nas temporadas de 1935-1936 e 1946-1947. O Stoke jogou a final da FA Cup em 2011, terminando como vice-campeão do Manchester City e alcançando três semifinais da FA Cup; em 1899, depois consecutivamente em 1971 e 1972. O time ainda competiu no futebol europeu em três ocasiões, primeiro em 1972-73, depois em 1974-75 e, mais recentemente, em 2011-12. O clube ganhou o Troféu da Liga de Futebol duas vezes, em 1992 e em 2000.

A casa do clube é o Bet365 Stadium, com 30.089 lugares. Antes de o estádio ser inaugurado em 1997, o clube era baseado no Victoria Ground, que tinha sido sua casa desde 1878. O apelido do clube é "The Potters", em homenagem à indústria de cerâmica de Stoke-on-Trent e seu uniforme titular tradicional é uma camisa listrada verticalmente vermelha e branca, shorts e meias brancas. Os rivais tradicionais do Stoke são os clubes de Midlands, West Bromwich Albion e Wolverhampton Wanderers, enquanto seu rival local (que pertence a divisões inferiores) é o Port Vale, com quem disputam o derby de Potteries.

Andrew Kaczynski's PMC
The Team Beans Infant Brain Tumor Fund at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute was established in 2021 in memory of Francesca "Beans" Kaczynski. Beans passed away at nine months old on Christmas Eve 2020 of a rare brain tumor known as ATRT.
Beans was an outgoing, bold and curious baby. She had huge, deep brown eyes that followed whatever her parents were doing. She loved eating and being held close, particularly in the evenings. A Brooklyn-based Sesame Street fan, she enjoyed taking long walks around New York City and Boston, playing with her toys and balloons, attending speech therapy, and "petting" (i.e. grabbing) her cat Ryland.
With more than 20,000 grassroots donors, in less than two short years since Bean's death, the Team Beans Infant Brain Tumor Fund has already raised more than $2,500,000 for Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and has set numerous fundraising event records. This money was crucial to Dana-Farber Cancer Institute establishing a brand new Infant Brain Tumor Program. And Team Beans is the biggest financial supporter of this program looking for cures for childhood brain cancer – the number one cause of death by disease in children.
Team Beans has primarily raised money through the Boston Marathon, Pan-Mass Challenge and the sale of Team Beans merchandise. In 2021, Team Beans set the record for money raised for a team in the Pan Mass Challenger Winter Cycle, and in 2022, Team Beans became the number one internal Jimmy Fund fundraising team ever after our record-smashing total of $614,000 raised through the 2022 Boston Marathon.
This year, I will be riding 40+ miles through New York City -- the city where Beans' lived her normal life before cancer -- to help raise money for the Infant Brain Tumor Program. Every donation goes *directly* to support amazing research and clinical trials.
Though Francesca will never get to experience the life she should have, with everyone's support we can create a lasting legacy for her.
As anyone who followed Francesca's story knows, treatment options for young children with brain tumors are still very limited. The only treatments for these aggressive cancers are often harsh chemotherapy regimens that require families to spend months living in the hospital. They often fail to work and sometimes, as we unfortunately learned firsthand, have fatal side effects.
And yet the heroic medical professionals who work hard every day to improve outcomes of our babies too often face severe funding challenges. That's why your contributions in Francesca's memory are a huge game changer.
Francesca's neuro-oncologist and head of the new program, renowned expert Dr. Susan Chi, says the new center will enable Dana-Farber to fund new projects and accelerate research in this crucial area. There's so much work left to do to understand how brain cancer works in infants and explore less brutal treatments. And progress in this fight will only be made bit by bit through the kinds of clinical trials and research projects that the center will house.
We miss Francesca tremendously every day. We will always be her parents and our efforts to fight childhood cancer are a way of staying true to our responsibility to take care of her.

The Historical Dictionary of International Organizations in Africa and the Middle East, by political scientist Mays complements and updates his coauthored earlier work with Mark W. DeLancey on sub-Sharan Africa. The author teaches courses on international politics and has published widely in the field, including producing other historical dictionaries on multinational peacekeeping and the American Revolution Similar in format to other titles in the publisher's series, the work begins with a chronology of major political events and actions taken by international organizations. An introduction contextualizes the dictionary and provides a broad overview of trends in the work of international organizations in the Middle East and Africa. The alphabetical listing of approximately 700 entries consists of organizations, important events, and key figures in the politics of the region. Within the entries, cross-references appear as bolded text to help readers understand the context of the organization and the relationships among groups, people, and events. Although the assembly of topics and treatments show the author is well versed in African and Middle Eastern politics, and each entry provides adequate detail and enough information to help students get started with a research project, the main audience for this particular specialized dictionary will likely be those with expertise who are already working in the field. Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-level undergraduates through researchers/faculty; professionals/practitioners.


According to an estimate cooked up by the algorithm masterminds at Google HQ in 2010, 129,864,880 books had been published since the beginning of literary history. That's clearly more than even the most committed bibliophile could devour in a lifetime. With so many scholarly works kicking about, it makes sense to earmark those that are going to be of the greatest use to you. If you're reading this, chances are you have more than a passing interest in sartorial matters, so we thought we'd help you with that shortlist, with five novels featuring some of the most stylish men in literature. You're welcome.

Fear and Learning in Tehran: What Recent Psychological Research Reveals about Nuclear Crises
Cohen, Michael D. "Fear and Learning in Tehran: What Recent Psychological Research Reveals about Nuclear Crises ." Strategic Studies Quarterly. Vol. 9, No. 1 (Spring 2015): 119-138. [ More (6 quotes) ]
Quicktabs: Citation
No empirical support to establish that an Iranian nuclear weapon would doom the non-proliferation regime
One can also argue that an Iranian bomb could unravel the nuclear nonproliferation regime. The causes of a Saudi or Turkish bomb and the impact of this on the nuclear nonproliferation regime are separate questions that I cannot fully address here. However, the literature on the causes of nuclear proliferation suggests that whether an Iranian bomb would cause regional proliferation is far from clear. Policy makers have worried about this ever since Pres. Kennedy worried about 40 nuclear powers in the 1960s, but well into the twenty-first century, the number of nuclear powers remains below 10.54 For example, while Saudi policy makers have often said they would develop nuclear weapons if Iran did so, much of this is designed to pressure the United States to prevent Iran from developing the bomb.55 The United States has effectively used a combination of carrots and sticks to prevent many states from developing nuclear weapons, and it is not clear that an Iranian bomb would stop this trend.56 Finally, one can argue that an Iranian bomb would undermine the global nuclear nonproliferation regime. Again, I cannot fully address that issue here, but the effect of the nuclear nonproliferation regime on states' decisions to develop nuclear weapons is contested.57 Moreover, it is a stretch to assume that an Iranian bomb would have much effect on distant states' nuclear decisions. An Iranian bomb may well pose challenges to the global nuclear nonproliferation regime that are as similar and surmountable as those posed by the other nuclear powers.
[ Page 130-131 ]
U.S. can best manage a nuclear Iran by letting them know U.S. will not strike first
The second lesson is that the United States should not threaten to attack Iran and would do well to announce it would only use force if Tehran first attacked US forces or perhaps those of key allies. US mili- tary power is so much greater than that of Iranian forces that if the US deployed forces in the region during a nuclear crisis, the mistrust and suspicion between Washington and Tehran may cause Khamenei to believe regime change was imminent. He would seriously consider using nuclear weapons under these conditions.
The best US deterrence policy would credibly commit to leave Tehran with some control over whether conventional or nuclear war erupts. US military assets deployed to the region should be much better at defending US and allied troops from Iranian challenges than invading and occupying Tehran. Khamenei would be much more likely to believe he had control over nuclear escalation and the fate of his regime during a nuclear crisis if he believed the United States would not attack unless deliberately provoked.
[ Page 134 ]
Iran likely to discover that nuclear weapons will not give them any more leverage over their neighbors
However, there is another possibility. James Lindsay and Ray Takeyh recently arguedLindsay, James M. and Ray Takeyh. "After Iran Gets the Bomb: Containment and Its Complications ." Foreign Affairs. Vol. 89, No. 2 (March/April 2010): 33-49. [ More (11 quotes) ] that while a nuclear Iran would be most dangerous "at first, when it would likely be at its most reckless, like other nuclear aspirants before them, the guardians of the theocracy might discover that nuclear bombs are simply not good for diplomatic leverage or strategic aggrandizement."3Lindsay, James M. and Ray Takeyh. "After Iran Gets the Bomb: Containment and Its Complications ." Foreign Affairs. Vol. 89, No. 2 (March/April 2010): 33-49. [ More (11 quotes) ] The waxing and waning of the Iranian nuclear crisis over recent decades suggests that the country's supreme leader, Ali Hos- seini Khamenei, and his associates are still learning about what nuclear weapons might offer Iran. Indeed, global trends in the conflict propensity of nuclear powers strongly suggest that if Iran developed nuclear weapons, such a learning process described by Lindsay and Takeyh is much more likely than long-term brazen regional behavior.4 Tehran may try to brandish its newly found nuclear weight around the region, but Khamenei and his associates will quickly learn that nuclear threats do more harm than good. Despite regular warnings that an Iranian bomb would undermine an already fragile Middle East, the fact is since the 1950s, states that have harbored intentions to revise major parts of their status quo—a desire termed revisionist—and have developed secure second-strike nuclear forces have quickly learned that nuclear weapons are not useful for changing their environments. Such states have then accepted their regional order.
Empirically, nuclear proliferation has caused short periods of instability followed by longer periods of peace and cooperation
Former Undersecretary of State for Arms Control and International Security Robert G. Joseph echoed a widely held belief, when he claimed that nuclear weapons would "embolden the leadership in Tehran to ad- vance its aggressive ambitions in and outside of the region, both directly and through the terrorists it supports."8 In theory, the more nuclear weapons have spread throughout the world, the more the danger of re- gional instability should have increased.
However, over the past six decades, nuclear proliferation has caused short periods of instability and conflict that have been followed by lon- ger periods of peace and tentative cooperation. Experience with nuclear weapons and the experience of fear in a nuclear crisis moderates the higher conflict propensity of new nuclear powers.9 The four years that followed the Soviet Union's development of the ability to target the United States with nuclear missiles in 1959 were the most dangerous of the Cold War.10 Nevertheless, Soviet challenges to major US interests in Berlin and Cuba substantially declined by 1963. China killed several Soviet troops on the disputed Zhenbao Island on the Ussuri River in 1969, five years after developing nuclear missiles in 1964. However, China did not challenge Soviet positions in the region again and indeed has not used force against the Soviet Union anywhere since then.11 After Pakistan developed nuclear weapons around 1990, fatalities in the Kashmir conflict increased from 30 in 1988 to nearly 2,000 in 1992 and more than 4,500 by 2001. During this period, Pakistan fought the 1999 Kargil War with India and engaged in a 10-month mobilized cri- sis in 2001–02.12 However, fatalities in Kashmir have steadily declined since then, and by 2012 were almost at pre-1990 levels.13 Indo-Pakistani relations have slowly but steadily improved as Pakistani president Pervez Musharraf and Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh authorized secret back-channel diplomacy that may have come close to concluding a final Kashmir settlement.14
Multiple examples of the moderating effects of nuclear weapons on new nuclear states
One might argue these findings are not applicable to Iran, due to that country's unique culture and religion and its distinct geopolitical and economic motives to develop nuclear weapons. However, the fact is that almost all states that have developed nuclear weapons have stumbled into a crisis out of inexperience and then authorized more moderate nuclear strategies and foreign policies after a few years' experience. This "experience effect" in the cases of the United States (in Korea), the Soviet Union (in Hungary), the United Kingdom (in Egypt) and France (in Algeria), cases in the late 1940s and early 1950s, are likely attributable to the early Cold War as well as nuclear weapons. It is not clear that fear played a role here, because the uncertainty associated with the early Cold War drove the conflict propensity of the new nuclear powers. However, all inexperienced nuclear powers since the late 1950s have found themselves in conflicts and wars either trying to revise a status quo (Soviet Union and Pakistan) or preventing and/or coercing a revisionist nuclear power from doing so (India). In China's case, nuclear weapons seem to have emboldened the Chinese to respond more forcefully to aggressive Soviet patrolling of disputed territory. In some cases whether the new nuclear power is revising or defending the status quo is unclear, because many other factors are also changing in a particular region, for example Israel and South Africa. Nevertheless, the fact that countries as different as the Soviet Union in the early 1960s, China in the late 1960s, and Pakistan in the early 2000s exhibited strikingly similar variation in their fundamental choices of coercive or moderate nuclear strategies shows that the great nuclear learning phenomenon knows no cultural or geographic bounds even though these countries exhibit important dif- ferences. The effect of experience with nuclear weapons on the central elements of their nuclear strategies over time is striking.
Iran more likely to use its nuclear weapons if attacked than if not
If Tehran develops nuclear weapons, the first lesson is, the United States should not attack Iran. Imposing a nuclear crisis on new nuclear powers hoping to quickly cause the desired effects of fear through US threats or uses of force would be a dangerous mistake, because the desired effect of fear depends on beliefs about control. If Khamenei believes regime change is imminent, he will likely believe he has little control over nuclear escalation and the fate of his regime. He would be most likely to use nuclear weapons under these conditions. If Tehran developed nuclear weapons and attempted to revise the status quo through a combination of threats and smaller uses of force, the United States would not have to do much to cause Khamenei to learn of the limits of nuclear weapons to transform the Persian Gulf. Superior US military power can easily prevent Tehran from sustaining revisions to the status quo. Policy makers should reconsider any intelligence assessments that do not explicitly account for the impact of fear of imminent nuclear war on Tehran's behavior. Assessment after assessment has suggested that nuclear weapons would embolden Tehran to harass Persian Gulf tanker traffic, threaten or attack Saudi oil infrastructure, and increase sponsorship of attacks against US troops in Iraq and Afghanistan. Khamenei and his associates may try to do this, but the historical record shows that the workings of the human mind will prevent them from getting very far.

In many ways, the 7-song EP offers many of Braised's usual signifiers, from goofy '90s pop culture references (when he's not singing about a poonanny tsunami on operner "Murakami," he's quoting Blink-182 outright) and so-dumb-they're-great shout-outs to big chains like Payless Shoes, making the release as hilarious as it is thoughtful.
Ultimately, that's the best way to describe Bowman himself. Speaking with Exclaim!, he explains that he's been rapping for "10 years recreationally, one and a half pro-am," and seemingly admits he's toeing a fine line on the new release. "My ultimate goal for this project is to give more people the opportunity to witness my growth as an artist and hopefully stimulate conversation around the understanding of foreign cultures, rather than capitalizing and indulging in the over-fetishization of them."
Unlike previous releases, which saw Braised working with myriad different producers, this one was produced entirely by Japanese artist Terio. "I think he named himself after a Daihatsu SUV," he says. "Anyways, he has produced for the Based God and many other progressive urban musicians. This is the first time I've worked strictly with one producer who I have never met."
Not just a title, the rapper admits that he's been experiencing some real-life Japanese tendencies of his own. "Over the past few months, I've found myself ritualizing time spent alone, and spending more time alone. This is the most noticeable tendency that correlates with my very modest study of Japanese culture, though I'm sure there are plenty of Japanese people that get bored and would rather go out, too."
Expanding his reach overseas is only natural, as the rapper explains that while he loves working and living in Vancouver, the city doesn't play much into his own music.
"There is no iconic sound or style, at least in urban music, that was born from this area, which is kind of cool, but also doesn't really matter either way anymore. Like, I'm forced to draw inspiration nomadically, which is actually positive as that's what most people who live in 2013 and own computers that are connected to the internet are doing anyways, regardless of their medium or location. There are lots of good electronic music producers here right now too, though, which is very encouraging."
Japanese Tendencies is available as both a digital download and on a limited cassette tape over here via 1080p. While you stream the release here, Young Braised has some thoughtful listening tips for the release:
"I would suggest being alone or with one to two other people at the maximum. The beats are very wonderful on this tape, but I definitely wrote it for people to analyze and deconstruct at a poetic level. Being in motion makes some of the tracks sound different too so feel free to give it a listen in a bus, car, or SkyTrain, but don't let it distract you from the road if you're on a bike. There are many things that can go wrong in an instant on a bike, and it's important that you protect yourself (there are no walls like on a car). I don't wear a helmet when I ride, but I would recommend getting one if you're doing a lot of riding. Eating something good for you or just something that makes you feel good usually goes well with audio too, and this tape is no exception."

Dr. R. H. Myers, of Boston University School of Medicine, and colleagues, released results of a study looking at genetic factors for Parkinson's disease.
Parkinson's results in a loss of dopamine in the brain, causing the characteristic tremors and coordination problems. Experts have yet to pinpoint the exact cause, though environmental factors, including pesticides, are often blamed.
In the study, the investigators examined over 200 pairs of siblings with Parkinson's disease, asking them about exposures to pesticides and pollutants, in addition to their family history for the disease, lifestyle and diet. Incidence of the disease did not vary due to gender or exposure to coffee, alcohol or pesticides. Nor did spouses of Parkinson's sufferers show an elevated risk.

La cerimònia de lliurament de les medalles del Cercle d'Escriptors Cinematogràfics de 1963 va tenir lloc el 23 de gener de 1964 al Cinema Rialto de Madrid. Va ser el dinovè lliurament de aquestes medalles atorgades per primera vegada divuit anys abans pel Cercle d'Escriptors Cinematogràfics (CEC). Els premis tenien per finalitat distingir als professionals del cinema espanyol i estranger pel seu treball durant l'any 1963. Després del repartiment de premis es va projectar el film 5 Branded Women, dirigit per Martin Ritt.

Encara que van desaparèixer les medalles als millors decorats i a la millor pel·lícula hispanoamericana, el nombre de premis va augmentar pel fet que el Premi Antonio Barbero es va concedir a quatre persones. La Medalla a la millor labor periodística va passar a denominar-se Premi José de la Cueva. Els guardons van estar molt repartits, si bé destaquen els tres premis obtinguts per Del rosa al amarillo, primera pel·lícula del director i guionista Manuel Summers i els dos del peculiar musical Los Tarantos.

There are quite a number of factors that affect service delivery in most towns and cities. Mostly, service delivery is as a result of poor management, corruption and misplaced priorities by local municipalities and this has been negatively affecting economic growth of local towns and cities.
For a long time, the MDC led councils have failed dismally in handling public funds. Local authorities get their revenue from payments for service delivered charges to residents. From these collections, local authorities are legally obliged by the Urban Councils Act chapter 29; 15 second schedule section 198 paragraph 17, to provide services such as water, sewerage, drainage, street lighting and fire services among others to the community.
In order to meet quality service delivery commitments, local authorities need to seize the opportunities that are available to them and overcome revenue collection challenges. It is imperative to assess the effectiveness of revenue collection and match it against service delivery in every town and city to promote the proper use of revenue collected by these councillors.
Recently, the MDC led Gweru city council management exposed their misplaced priorities when they put forward a 2019 budget submission where they are planning to purchase all-terrain 4×4 vehicles for top officials and a posh Mercedes Benz for their mayor Josiah Makombe which are worth about $660 000.
Local authorities are a crucial part of the economy and their proper functioning has a great impact on a nation's economy and the living standards of the people. In the past few months, there was a cholera outbreak in most parts of Harare where a number of people lost their precious lives. This outbreak was attributed mostly to poor service delivery in Harare by the city fathers which include failing to provide adequate clean water as well as failing to frequently collect garbage.
City councils should therefore make sure that people in their areas have at least the basic services they need. These services have a direct and immediate effect on the people's quality of life in communities. It is worthy to note that poor services can also make it difficult to attract businesses or investors to an area and will also limit job opportunities for residents.
Recently speaking at the Public Sector Audit Conference in Harare, President Emmerson Mnangagwa said in the second republic, the Government will not tolerate siphoning of public funds for nefarious and selfish gains. The President said it was disheartening that Government was losing large amounts of money due to fraud. President Mnangagwa said those public officials who would be found on the wrong side of the law shall also face the full wrath of the law.
City councils should take a leaf from Government on how it handled the issue of purchasing vehicles for ministers and legislators. Minister of Finance and Economic Development, Professor Mthuli Ncube said Government suspended the purchase of these vehicles and channelled some of the funds towards the containment of the cholera outbreak. The Government's decision was positive and welcomed by many citizens.
In that regard, spending public funds obliges Government or any public office to make choices on priorities, through a regular budgetary cycle of planning, negotiation and implementation.
Thus, local municipalities should maximise the effectiveness of public revenue collections through securing the greatest value from the spending decisions, avoiding waste, fraud and corruption.
All local municipalities should be concerned about the people's safety and healthy first at the expense of purchasing luxurious vehicles.
In the past most MDC councillors were fingered in underhand deals which compromised service delivery and in some cases government had to intervene to rescue the situation, for instance the current project to resurface badly damaged roads due to unrepaired potholes.
Continuous leadership of local authorities by MDC councillors is stifling development. In actual fact, their leadership has proved to be disastrous.


Rather than focus on how parent banks transmit shocks to their affiliates through the lending channel, in a recent paper, Deniz Anginer, Eugenio Cerutti and I explore the association between parent banks' and subsidiaries' default risks during the recent crisis.* More specifically, we examine whether an increase in the default risk of a parent bank is positively correlated with a similar rise in its foreign subsidiaries' default risk. We also examine the factors that dampen or amplify the correlation between parent banks' and foreign subsidiaries' default risks. In particular, we examine the role of subsidiary financial characteristics (such as capital and funding structure) and the impact of host country bank regulations (e.g., pertaining to bank capital, reserve requirements, bank activities, etc.)..
We use data for 93 publicly listed foreign bank subsidiaries, operating in 36 host developing countries and owned by 41 parent bank groups, headquartered in 24 home countries, during the period from September 2008 to December 2009. We estimate the weekly correlation between parents' and subsidiaries' distance to default and investigate the factors that affect this correlation. Distance to default, which is based on Merton's (1974) structural credit risk model, is the difference between the market asset value of the bank and the face value of its debt, scaled by the standard deviation of the bank's asset value. Hence, distance to default is inversely related to default risk. Our focus on developing countries as hosts of foreign bank subsidiaries is driven by the fact that these countries were not at the core of the global financial crisis, allowing us to better identify factors that might help insulate affiliates from their parents potentially in trouble.
Our empirical findings show that a subsidiary's distance to default is significantly correlated with the parent bank's distance to default, even when we account for the distance to default of other banks and firms in the home and host countries, as well as for global factors that may influence subsidiaries' distance to default. This finding is robust to the sample of banks considered and to the way we calculate the distance to default measure. Also, we find that certain subsidiary characteristics influence the correlation in the distance to default between subsidiaries and parents. In particular, this correlation is lower for subsidiaries that have higher capital, retail deposit funding, and profitability ratios and for subsidiaries that are more independently managed from their parents. Finally, the regulatory regime in place in the host countries also affects the extent to which shocks to the parents' distance to default influence subsidiaries. In particular, the correlation between the distance to default of the subsidiary and the parent is lower for subsidiaries operating in host countries that impose higher capital, reserve, provisioning and disclosure requirements and tougher restrictions on bank activities.

"In the GSMA's view, it is crucial that new telecoms rules, which will be enacted over the next two years, create a more stable and positive regulatory environment to encourage critical investments in next-generation 5G networks.
"Deployment of next-generation 5G networks has the important opportunity to boost the region's competitiveness and empower European citizens. The relevant forthcoming European Commission Decisions and BEREC Guidelines will significantly impact the ability of the European telecommunications industry to deliver on this ambition. We are looking forward to continuing the policy dialogue with all institutions involved in the transposition and implementation of the Code.
"The end result of the Code's implementation process should ensure a pro-investment regulatory climate with a meaningful and robust 5G-friendly approach, including in the area of spectrum management. The GSMA believes that only such an assurance will allow the industry to make the necessary network investments that will ultimately benefit consumers.
"At the EU Council meeting, Telecoms Ministers will also further discuss the Regulation on ePrivacy (ePR). Ahead of these discussions, the GSMA urges Ministers to consider the impact of the ePR on existing and future products and services that are critical to Europe's digital growth, including 5G but also the Internet of Things (IoT) and artificial intelligence.

Q: When accessing localhost IIS asks for username and password I have installed IIS on Windows XP SP3. When I want to access localhost from my browser the authentication window appears and asks for user name and password. Anonymous access is enabled for IUSR_ user and this user has full control permission on wwwroot folder. Any help is appreciated in advance.

A: You've set your web site up to use Integrated Windows (NTLM) Authentication, which is supported by default in IE but not in Firefox. Firefox requires you to permit NTLM on a site-by-site basis.
This page explains how to enable NTLM and remove the login boxes in Firefox.
Basically, you need to type about:config in the address bar and add the hostname to the list of comma-separated values on the network.automatic-ntlm-auth.trusted-uris setting.
Let's say you have two sites that you want to enable NTLM authentication on: http://www.foo.com/ and http://www.bar.com/. You would need to set network.automatic-ntlm-auth.trusted-uris to www.foo.com, www.bar.com.
If you want your site to be accessible to anonymous users, you need to make sure that your IUSR_xxx account has at least read permission to the files that your web site is serving at the file system level. You can do this via Windows Explorer. I think you also need to grant list permission on the parent directories.

Note that the rates applying for these tax credits are higher than the standard 25% Corporate income tax rate which levies the donor's taxable income.
In the absence of tax profits, corporations may carry forward unused charitable donation tax credits during a period of 10 years.
Charitable entities have a fundamental role in activities of general interest. Spanish tax rules, conscious that corporate or individual support for charities is an important source of contribution for the charitable sector, have established Spanish Fiscal Deductions and tax benefits for the support of these activities.
Before the end of this fiscal year, it is important for you to know how you can contribute and which are the tax advantages that you can enjoy from either monetary or non – monetary gifts in favour of qualifying institutions.
✔ Although the gift expensed is not tax deductible from the company's tax result, a corporation is entitled to the Spanish Fiscal deductions from its final tax of up to 35% of gifts made to qualified beneficiaries. Such percentage raises to 40% if gifts made to the same entity in the two preceding years have been equal to or exceeded, in each one of these fiscal years, to the one made in the preceding year; that is to say, the level of gifts is maintained during such two – years period.
✔ Individuals are also entitled to the Spanish fiscal reductions in the form of a tax credit of 75% of the first 150.00 Euro. Any excess thereof can benefit from a 30% tax credit, which raises to 35% if the level of gifts in favour of the same entity is maintained during the two preceding years in the same terms as for corporations.
✔ If the donor, individual or corporation, has a gain as a result of the gift, it is not taxable. The basis for this tax credit cannot exceed 10% of the individual's or corporation taxable result.
✔ In order to take advantage of these tax credits, do not forget to ask to the beneficiary entity for a certificate in which it is mentioned that the latter is a qualified beneficiary.
If the organization receiving the support provides any type of benefit of value (naming the donor, for example), this means that the sponsor receives something of value in return for the sponsorship, which payment does not qualify as a gift.
✔ Spanish tax rules must continue supporting any form of private philanthropy for the benefit of activities of general interest. Do not forget it, you are still in time to make your contribution before the year – end.
