Cal Fassi és una casa al municipi de Torà, a la comarca de la Segarra inclòs a l'Inventari del Patrimoni Arquitectònic de Catalunya.

Descripció
Edifici de tres plantes, construït amb carreus de pedra irregulars, ubicat al peu de la carretera de Calaf.

A la planta baixa hi ha tres portes, una central més gran amb arc escarser i les dues laterals rectangulars, que donen accés als respectius habitatges. Aquestes tres obertures estan emmarcades amb una motllura de maó amb elements ceràmics bicromats incrustats; la motllura de les portes laterals presenta un cos superior a dos nivells, més elevat a la part central i decorat amb un element geomètric amb forma de trèvol.

La primera planta es divideix de la segona per mitjà d'una motllura de maó amb dents de serra. El primer pis presenta tres portes balconeres; les dues laterals presenten una barana de forja i estan decorades amb una motllura de maó amb forma de frontó, mentre que la central presenta balcó amb barana de forja i la motllura es diferencia de les anteriors pel seu entaulament recte. Damunt de cada porta balconera s'obre una finestra quadrangular amb motllura de maó, que gairebé trenca la seqüència de les mènsules de maó amb elements ceràmics, que sustenten la cornisa dentada.

Per damunt d'aquesta façana principal, s'aixeca un segon cos afegit amb posterioritat, que presenta una estètica moderna amb dues grans obertures rectangulars i la façana arrebossada i pintada de color blanc.

Gmail recently introduced "Priority Inbox". It basically puts all the important emails in a separate section at the top of your inbox window.
In order to predict which messages are important to you, Gmail uses some of the same technology that it uses to weed spam out of your Inbox. If it incorrectly predicts which messages are important you can help train it with the importance buttons just like you can help Gmail's spam filter by using the Report as spam button.
Has been a pretty busy few weeks. We have had meetings during the past week to decide on our various roles within the team. We divided up the work for Phase 1 of the project as much as we could tonight and are working towards our goals for next week.
Had the call to Intel this week. Overall a very positive outcome – got introduced to James Reinders and Vasanth Tovinkere. We have also managed to get a custom function "yo" to work with hip-hop.
It basically does the same thing an echo does, but this small step has allowed us to learn a whole lot more about the inner workings of the hip-hop beast and will hopefully have a for loop going soon-ish.
I am part of this great team of people who are currently working on a project for intel. We are basically trying to make large scale php based web sites such as facebook and wordpress work better by utalizing multicore processors. It is an extremly interesting project escpecially for me since I have always been curious about multicore technology and it a privilage to be working on this project with a bunch of great guys.
So far it has been a week since the project kicked off and we have made some interesting discoveries about how TBB (Thread Building Blocks) and Hip-Hop works.
The commands and things used in this guide are explained in more details on those sites. If you want to know what the commands are for then please feel free to visit those sites.
Inorder to cache updates with IPCOP you need to download and install the update accelerator plugin. By default the plugin will cache Adobe, Apple, Avast, Linux (deb/rpm), Microsoft, Symantec and Trend Micro updates. While this is a pretty good list of vendors there might be situations where you need to cache other updates, for example if you are using the free version of Avira, you might wish to cache the updates for that.
Firstly, what you need to do is figure out where the updates are being downloaded from. In this example I will be adding Avira Free edition to the update caching list. In my case Avira gets all its updates from http://dl[0-9].avgate.net. If you are unsure of where your updates are being downloaded from URL Helper is a great utility to use, as this will also tell you which extensions are being downloaded which will be usefull later on.
Note: System_on_C will show up only if you are using the UBCD4Win regedit, to do this without UBCD4Win microsoft had a pretty good writeup about it on their support site.
Once I rebooted I could see what the BSOD was saying and it turned out to be the good 'ol PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA issue. This kind of error usually occurs when there is a memory fault, but I recently read on computerworld that one of the microsoft updates(KB977165) caused random BSODS.
After running the batch file rebooted into windows and everything was fine.
So, to get around this, there is a handy keyboard shortcut you can use. Select the window that not on the monitor and press win + shift + left to move it to a monitor on the left if you press the right arrow key it will move it to the right.
I recently had to turn a few old pc's at work into thin clients to bring them back to life. To do this I used PCTSC and puppy linux. At first everything installed fine but there were a few issues once everything was installed. In this article I will go through the Issues we faced and the solutions for the issues. Hopefully these finding will help some of you with your PCTSC installations.
If a terminal Service session times out, it is unable to reconnect to the server and a blank screen remains.
If you have already installed PCTSC to the harddrive then the file will be located at /usr/local/bin, browse to that location and edit the pctsc.auto.tsc file with you favorite text editor. Add the following line rm -rf ~/.rdesktop above the rdesktop -f -k en-us -N -K -u "" -a 24 `cat /etc/pctsc.target` line.
If you have not installed PCTSC then you need to look in the TSC folder located in root. Browse to TSC then usr.local.bin to find the pctsc.auto.tsc file. Apply the same changes as mentioned above.
If the power goes out or a user turns the pc off at the wall then Puppy Linux will not boot up into X. This is a major problem as end users will not know what to do..
So I downloaded Puppy version puppy-4.2-k2.6.25.16-seamonkey and applyed the following fixes.
Those are all the edits I had to do and Puppy is running all good now without any problems.

Theresa May's Brexit Deal is in 2 parts - a withdrawal agreement with a backstop (in case we don't reach agreement on what happens in 2021) and a political declaration for our future relationship with the EU, which at the time of writing is worryingly vague.
At the moment, the plan is we will leave the EU on 29th March 2019 and enter a transition period until the end of 2020. From January 2021 we will be outside the Customs Union and the Single Market so we will no longer have frictionless trade with the EU. There will be no guarantees for workers' rights or environmental protections. Security issues such as the European Arrest Warrant are yet to be decided upon. We will have no membership of EU Agencies such as Euratom.
Please let me know your views below.
Do you you think this Brexit deal meets Labour's 6 tests?
In the event that Theresa May cannot get her deal through Parliament, which of the following would you support?
Which of the following trade models would you support?
How well do you think Diana does her job on a scale of 1 to 5, where 5 is excellent?

I'll tell you what: You give me fifteen dollars and I'll tell you if this door slams or not.
Activity 2, Paranormal — The sequel to Paranormal Activity netted $41.5 million in its opening weekend, which makes it a big hit. So you should see it — or, if you want to save some money, you can just sit around and silently stare at things in your own home for minutes on end, waiting for something to move, which is roughly the equivalent of watching a Paranormal Activity movie.

Austen, Jane — An Oxford University professor, after having pored over over a thousand pages of Jane Austen's unpublished work, has determined that the author was a terrible grammarian and speller who received a large amount of support from her editor. Unfortunately, however, while this editor was able to correct minor spelling and punctuation errors, he was largely unable to help make any Jane Austen novel the least bit interesting.

Blood, True — As HBO's gothic vampire drama True Blood basks in the recent end of season three and gears up for season four, Entertainment Weekly offers notes on up to five roles which may be casting during the offseason for characters to join the proceedings. Allegedly, the casting call to agents calls for "actors and actresses who are comfortable with on-camera nudity, who can accommodate long night shoots, and who have no idea what a southern accent actually sounds like."

Brand, Russell — Excitement erupted at Katy Perry and Russell Brand's wedding reception in India on Saturday after armed guards stepped in to corral the guests and ward off a man-eating tiger which had somehow scaled the walls of India's posh Arman-i-Khas resort. This means my plan failed, as I had not counted on armed guards.

Gabriel, Peter — According to a recent video update on his website, the Peter Gabriel is planning to celebrate the 25th anniversary of his massive hit album So by re-releasing the album with all sorts of great bells and whistles, including new mixes and album artwork. So great news, Peter Gabriel fans — one of the best albums ever is coming back! And great news, people who don't know anything about Peter Gabriel — the soundtrack album for all your favorite movie trailers is finally releasing!

Leno, Jay — Though you may not even realize The Tonight Show is still on, it is, and Jay Leno is currently suffering lower ratings than ever he or Conan O'Brien received at the late night institution. All this non-watching by the viewing public has prompted a many comedians to thumb their noses back at the silver-haired comic, and The Daily Beast prints the following piece on the current Leno backlash. Just a good read; especially if you're a Conan fan.

The cause is undetermined in a mid-day fire that broke out at a Jacksonville apartment complex last week, the city fire marshal has ruled.
Responders found two upstairs units with flames wafting from back windows shortly after noon March 18 at Azalea Gardens Apartments on Gum Branch Road, according to previous Daily News reports. Wind gusts intensified the fire, which was extinguished in about 24 minutes, Jacksonville Fire Marshal John Reed previously told The Daily News.
The city�s building code administrator determined that the building was not a total loss and is repairable, Jacksonville Police Department spokeswoman Beth Purcell told The Daily News.
Purcell said �the financial loss was not determined by the city fire marshal�s office.� However, in previous reports to The Daily News, Reed estimated the fire�s damages were $208,671; with a loss of roughly $69,557 to the building�s contents and $139,114 to the building. He said the investigation determined the fire�s origin was in the closet of an upstairs unit.
The city�s final ruling could depend on the outcome of an investigation by the property owner�s insurance company, she added.
�We will confer with them when their investigation has been completed,� Purcell said.
The blaze displaced 17 tenants at the complex.

Die Stadt Kastellaun (amtliche Schreibweise bis zum 6. Dezember 1935: Castellaun) liegt in der Mittelgebirgslandschaft des Hunsrücks im Rhein-Hunsrück-Kreis in Rheinland-Pfalz. Sie ist Sitz der Verwaltung der gleichnamigen Verbandsgemeinde.

Geographie

Geographische Lage
Kastellaun liegt im vorderen Hunsrück etwa gleich weit entfernt von Rhein, Mosel und Nahe. Der Stadtkern liegt in einer Talsenke des Trimmbaches, der die Stadt und die Flur in Richtung des Deimerbaches entwässert.

Klima
Der Jahresniederschlag beträgt 755 mm. Die Niederschläge liegen im mittleren Drittel der in Deutschland erfassten Werte. An 53 % der Messstationen des Deutschen Wetterdienstes werden niedrigere Werte registriert. Der trockenste Monat ist der April, die meisten Niederschläge fallen im Juni. Im Juni fallen 1,4 mal mehr Niederschläge als im April. Die Niederschläge variieren nur minimal und sind extrem gleichmäßig übers Jahr verteilt. An nur 1 % der Messstationen werden niedrigere jahreszeitliche Schwankungen registriert.

Nachbarorte

Geschichte
Aus dem Jahre 1226 datiert die erste urkundliche Erwähnung von "Kestilun" (Flurname zu vulgärlateinisch *castellione 'befestigtes Anwesen, Schlösschen'). Die gleichnamige Burg Kastellaun wurde von den Grafen von Sponheim errichtet und gehörte bis 1417 zur vorderen Grafschaft.

1301 wurden Burg und Stadt Residenz von Simon II. von Sponheim und seiner Frau Elisabeth. Graf Simon II. verlieh Kastellaun 1305 Stadtrecht und erwirkte von König Heinrich VII., dem Bruder von Balduin von Luxemburg, Erzbischof zu Trier, am 8. November 1309 das Marktrecht. Um das Jahr 1310, nach neueren Erkenntnissen des Landeshauptarchiv Koblenz wohl 1330–1335, wird der Ort unter den Namen Kestulun und Kesteluno im Sponheimischen Gefälleregister der Grafschaft Sponheim erwähnt. Belagert wurde Burg und Stadt 1321 durch den Trierer Erzbischof Balduin von Luxemburg. Balduin baute gegen Kastellaun die Burg Balduinseck bei Buch 1325. Im Jahr 1340 verließ Walram von Sponheim Kastellaun und ging nach Bad Kreuznach.

Die Grafen von Sponheim starben 1437 aus, und das Erbe fiel mit dem Amt Kastellaun an die Herren von Pfalz-Zweibrücken und Baden, die es gemeinsam verwalteten. Friedrich I. erhielt das Fürstentum Simmern und den Anteil der Grafschaft Sponheim aus dem Veldenzer Erbe, das er nach dem Tod des letzten Veldenzer (1444) von Kastellaun aus regierte. Er war somit eigentlicher Begründer der Linie Pfalz-Simmern. Friedrich I. und sein Bruder Ludwig teilten 1459 die väterlichen Besitzungen wiederum auf. Ludwig erhielt das Herzogtum Zweibrücken und Friedrich I. residierte in Simmern. Der pfalz-simmerische Anteil der Hinteren Grafschaft Sponheim fiel 1560 an Pfalz-Zweibrücken beziehungsweise 1569 an Pfalz-Birkenfeld unter Zweibrücker Hoheit.

Auf der Burg lebten bis 1594 verschiedene Amtmänner, die die Interessen der Gemeinherren Grafschaft Veldenz, Markgrafschaft Baden, Pfalzgrafschaften Simmern und Zweibrücken vertraten.

Als Markgraf Eduard Fortunat 1594 aus der Markgrafschaft Baden-Durlach vertrieben wurde, nahm er Zuflucht auf der Burg Kastellaun die damit erneut Residenz wurde.

Im Zuge des Dreißigjährigen Krieges (1618–1648) besetzten Spanier, Schweden, Lothringer, Hessen und Franzosen die Stadt. Große Pestepidemien wüteten.

Die Sponheimische Herrschaft um Kastellaun endete 1687 vorübergehend mit der Besetzung vieler linksrheinischer Gebiete durch die Truppen Ludwigs XIV. im Pfälzischen Erbfolgekrieg. In dessen Folge wurden im Jahr 1689 Burg und Stadt zerstört. 1776 endete die Gemeinherrschaft, Amt und Stadt Kastellaun fielen an Pfalz-Zweibrücken.

Während der Koalitionskriege wurde die Region 1793/94 durch französische Revolutionstruppen besetzt, 1798 dem Departement Rhin-et-Moselle angegliedert und damit bis zum Wiener Kongress 1815 französisch. Infolge der Neuregelung der Territorien wurde Kastellaun Teil der preußischen Rheinprovinz.

Die Burg wurde 1820 Privatbesitz. Die Stadt kaufte das Gelände 1884 und sanierte das Gemäuer erstmals. Der Burgberg und das Gemäuer wurden 1990–1993 erneut saniert und restauriert. 1999 wurden das erste Burghaus und 2005 das zweite Burghaus wieder errichtet. Am 9. September 2007 wurde dort ein Dokumentationszentrum eingeweiht, das als Haus der regionalen Geschichte eingerichtet ist.

Seit 1946 ist der Ort Teil des damals neu gegründeten Landes Rheinland-Pfalz. Am 14. September 1969 erhielt er wieder das Stadtrecht.

Kirche
Kastellaun gehörte früher zum Kirchspiel Bell. Im 14. Jahrhundert hat es eine Filialkirche. Mit der Einführung der Reformation durch Friedrich III. 1557 wurde Kastellaun selbständig. Bis zum Pfälzischen Erbfolgekrieg war die Stadtkirche Kastellaun ausschließliches Eigentum der Evangelischen. Die wenigen Katholiken des Städtchens hielten ihre Gottesdienste in der vor der Stadt liegenden Friedhofskapelle (ab 1728 neue Saalkirche). 1690 wird die Kirche zur Simultankirche bestimmt. 1894 wird das zu vielen Streitigkeiten führende Simultaneum durch Vertrag und Zahlung einer Ablösesumme von 12.000 Talern an die Katholiken aufgelöst, die daraufhin 1899–1902 eine neue neugotische Basilika durch Eduard Endler bauen lassen.

Eine jüdische Gemeinde bildet sich ab 1862 durch Zuzug von jüdischen Gläubigen offiziell um 1892. 1879 wird bereits ein eigener Friedhof außerhalb der Stadt errichtet. Die Synagoge wird am 10. November 1938, einen Tag später als sonst im Deutschen Reich, in Brand gesteckt.

Konfessionsstatistik
Mit Stand 30. Juni 2005 waren von den Einwohnern 42,5 % römisch-katholisch, 40,7 % evangelisch und 16,8 % waren konfessionslos oder gehörten einer anderen Glaubensgemeinschaft an. Die Zahl der Katholiken und Protestanten ist seitdem gesunken. Derzeit (Stand 30. November 2022) sind von den Einwohnern 33,4 % katholisch, 32,8 % evangelisch und 33,8 % sind konfessionslos oder gehören einer anderen Glaubensgemeinschaft an.

Städtepartnerschaft
Mit der französischen Stadt Prémery in Burgund besteht seit 1994 eine Städtepartnerschaft. Diese Partnerschaft entstand aus einer im Jahr 1983 begonnenen Schulpartnerschaft zwischen der "IGS Kastellaun" und dem "Collège Nationalisé mixte".

Infrastruktur

Verkehr
Die Anbindung an den überörtlichen Verkehr ist über die seit 2014 fertiggestellte Umgehungsstraße B 327 (Hunsrückhöhenstraße) gegeben. Der Flughafen Frankfurt-Hahn befindet sich ca. 20 km in südlicher Richtung von Kastellaun und ist über die Hunsrückhöhenstraße erreichbar.

Schulen
Im Stadtgebiet von Kastellaun gibt es eine Grundschule, die Integrierte Gesamtschule (IGS) mit gymnasialer Oberstufe, die Theodor-Heuss-Schule (FOES) mit den Förderschwerpunkten ganzheitliche und motorische Entwicklung sowie die Freie Waldorfschule Kastellaun.

Sonstige Einrichtungen
Das Julius-Reuß-Zentrum, eine Einrichtung des Schmiedel mit verschiedenen Wohnangeboten für Menschen mit besonderem Unterstützungsbedarf, ist in einem Wohngebiet zwischen dem Stadtkern und dem Industrie-Gebiet angesiedelt. Die Lebenshilfe Rhein-Hunsrück unterhält eine integrative Kindertagesstätte, eine Tagesförderstätte und ein Wohn- und Apartmenthaus für Erwachsene. Menschen mit seelischer Beeinträchtigung finden in einem rehabilitativen Wohnheim der Stiftung Bethesda – St. Martin ein Zuhause.

Im Industriegebiet der Stadt befindet sich eine Zweigstelle der Rhein-Mosel Werkstatt, ein Betrieb mit "geschützten Arbeitsplätzen" für Menschen, welche nicht oder noch nicht auf dem allgemeinen Arbeitsmarkt beschäftigt werden können (WfbM).

Freizeit
Am südöstlichen Stadtrand befindet sich ein Hallenbad mit integriertem Reha-Zentrum angegliedert an einen Sport- und Fitnessbereich. In dessen unmittelbarer Nähe schließt eine Minigolfanlage das Gelände ab.

Seit Mai 2008 gibt es den Kyrillpfad. Ein Teil der Waldfläche, die vom Orkan Kyrill verwüstet worden war, wurde für Besucher zugänglich gemacht. Auf einem 800 Meter langen Pfad durch 1,5 Hektar Windwurffläche kann man sich ein Bild von den Sturmschäden machen und dabei etwas über den neu entstehenden Wald erfahren. Zehn Informationsstationen beschäftigen sich detailliert mit der Geologie, Bodenkunde, der Wurzelentwicklung, Klima und Wetter, dem Leben im Totholz, der Gefräßigkeit des Borkenkäfers, der natürlichen und künstlichen Waldverjüngung, der maschinellen Holzernte und der modernen Forstwirtschaft.

In der Nachbarschaft des Kyrillpfades wurde im Mai 2008 ein Hochseilklettergarten und ein Barfußpfad eröffnet.

Am südlichen Stadtrand von Kastellaun verläuft auf der Trasse der ehemaligen Hunsrückbahn der Schinderhannes-Radweg. Dieser startet in Simmern und führt an Kastellaun vorbei nach Emmelshausen.

In der Nähe der Stadt Kastellaun liegt die ehemalige Raketenbasis Pydna. Hier findet jedes Jahr das Techno-Festival Nature One statt.

Neben vielen anderen Vereinen gibt es den Turnverein Kastellaun. Er ist Teil der überörtlich bekannten Handballspielgemeinschaft (HSG) Kastellaun-Simmern.

Tourismus
Die Stadt bemüht sich um die Förderung des Tourismus. Führungen durch die Altstadt und zur Burgruine werden angeboten. Die bedeutendsten Bauwerke, sowie historische Begebenheiten zur Geschichte der Burg und Stadt Kastellaun, werden dabei von fachkundigen Führern gezeigt und erklärt. Der kleine traditionelle Tier-Erlebnispark Bell liegt in unmittelbarer Nachbarschaft des Beller Marktplatzes und beherbergt seit 2015 in einem Tigergehege vier sibirische Tiger.

Kastellaun liegt an der Deutschen Alleenstraße.

Bundeswehrstandort
In Kastellaun befindet sich seit dem 20. März 1964 eine Bundeswehrkaserne, welche früher das Fernmelderegiment 920 und eine Instandsetzungseinheit, jetzt das Informationstechnikbataillon 282 beherbergt. In der Kaserne befindet sich die sogenannte BSg-K: Diese ist eine der drei festen Bodenstationen des bundeswehreigenen Satellitenkommunikationssystems SATCOMBw und verfügt über eine C-Band-, zwei X-Band- und P-Band-Antennen.

NeuroTouch
NeuroVR (previously NeuroTouch – caeneurovr.com) is the world's most advanced virtual reality (VR) neurosurgical simulator, which has been developed by the National Research Council Canada with a consortium of university centres accross Canada. This multidisciplinary team includes strong clinical and research components from the Neurosurgical Simulation Research and Training Centre which was opened on September 10, 2010 at the Montreal Neurological Institute and Hospital (MNI/H). This centre, lead by Dr. Rolando Del Maestro and his team of dedicated researchers, is making significant progress in moving VR simulation into the world's operating rooms.
The overall objective of the project is to improve patient safety through the development of VR-based rehearsal, training, planning and evaluation systems, integrated with MRI for patient-specific neurosurgical oncology and other advanced surgical procedures.
Neurosurgical oncology, the most frequently used cancer therapy, is evolving towards less invasive yet more complex procedures that require elaborate rehearsal to prevent operative errors (see video in Research Projects), improve patient safety, and enhance overall surgical outcome. Tumour resection is a high-risk procedure because of (i) potential damage to surrounding tissues, such as functional areas, nerves and blood vessels and (ii) increased risk of brain tumour recurrence from incomplete tumour removal. The expertise and technologies developed in this project are generic and will provide a solid foundation for rehearsing tumour resections, such as in abdominal, prostate and breast cancer. These VR systems can also be used to model complex cardiovascular, orthopedic and otolaryngology procedures.
The VR rehearsal system has unprecedented high-resolution haptics which provides a person with the ability to feel the difference between normal tissue and tumour tissue integrated with realistic tool-tissue behavior and high realism visualization. Enhanced MR images provide input information on critical anatomical structures, functional areas and tissue biomechanics.
For the first time these VR neurosurgical simulation systems are allowing the assessment of the tactile and visual cues that are important in determining how expert surgeons perform neurosurgical procedures. In partnership with many McGill neurosurgeons, clinical reality is being assured by developing procedural simulation capabilities for surgical procedures using tumour resection based on new experimental paradigms that can be assessed in virtual reality environments without risks to the patient. Surgeons and university hospitals from across Canada (including the Montreal Neurological Institute and Hospital), North America and internationally are playing an important role in the development, quantitative assessment and validation of this project.
The first bimanual neurosurgical simulator along with advanced neurosurgical oncology planning systems have been installed in the Neurosurgical Simulation Research and Training Centre at the Montreal Neurological Institute and Hospital. This simulator along with an advanced system to quantify the neurosurgical cognitive and technical expertise of residents and consultants (GAINS) is being developed in co-operation with Dr. Rolando Del Maestro and his team at the Montreal Neurological Institute and Hospital.
The MNI/H has been on the forefront in the past with the installation of the first CT scanner, the first MR scanner and the first PET scanner in Canada. This innovative Neurosurgical Simulator is the most advanced Simulator for surgical procedures that has been developed in the world and the MNI/MNH is the first neurosurgical center in the world to have a bimanual system that is developing both the technical and cognitive systems for metrics that could be used worldwide to assess essential neurosurgical operative skills. Industrial partners are cooperating with us to develop systems that will keep Canada the leader in simulation technologies.

Donaire and Rigondeaux in talks, nothing confirmed
Double Olympic champion Rigondeaux, 32, who holds the WBA strap, raced to a world title in just nine bouts following his decision to turn pro in 2009 and is now in discussions for what would be his biggest challenge yet against the WBO belt holder.
30 year-old Donaire is among the world's elite pound for pound fighters since claiming a world belt at a fourth different weight-class last year and is looking to unify the titles at 122lbs for the second time.
Rigondeaux's manager Gary Hyde recently spoke to WBN to reinforce that conversations between the two camps have taken place, but stopped short of stating that a fight between the Cuban and the Filipino is completed – as some reports have suggested.
"We are in the process of making Rigondeaux v Donaire for April 27," Hyde told World Boxing News.
"As of now, nothing is confirmed," he added.
If the fight comes off, and there are strong indications that it will, the clash has all the makings of a classic encounter between two of the world's best boxers and will be a refreshing change from some of the recent disappointments that fight fans have had to endure.

You are browsing the Blog for In the Nest Box.
Had a nice opportunity to watch the female in the nest box this morning. Just before 7AM, she raised herself up a bit and changed positions but remained over the 4 eggs. Then at 7:07AM, she departed for a few minutes and returned to the box, and then back to incubating the eggs. During incubation, an observer may spend lots of time watching very little activity. The peregrines take turns brooding the eggs. Typically, the female incubates about 2/3 of the time, often for four or more hours before the male relieves her. Males brood for shorter periods– typically 2 to 3 hours, and they brood less frequently. While one adult is brooding, the other may be out hunting. Brooding falcons still need to eat, after all. If they're not hunting, the other falcon usually stays close to the nest. The photo on the left shows the female sitting on eggs quietly and with great comfort. She will adjust as she needs to but is not fidgety as the male tends to be!
Sometimes while the female is brooding the eggs, the male will bring her food that he has hunted. She'll eat the food, sometimes inside, and other times, outside the nest box while he takes a turn incubating, but then she'll come back and take over– provided she can get him to move off the eggs. If he doesn't move right away, she may stand in the nest box and wail at him. Wailing has different meanings for falcons, but in general it indicates dissatisfaction with the current situation. Here they are together, inside the nest box at around 10:35 AM today, and she is wailing on him big time.
So if this female wails at her guy while he's incubating, or in the nest box it's her way of telling him she's not happy that he's still standing around, or sitting on the eggs. As with most other interactions between male and female peregrines, the female usually gets her way, though sometimes it takes a while for him to get the message! Guess who's usually walking away, with his head bowed low, after getting wailed at….the male!
Always nice to report yet another egg has been laid this afternoon for the 2019 Lawrence Peregrine family! In most years for this location, the eggs have consistently been laid roughly 48 hours apart. Last year, the final egg arrived 72 hours after the third egg……no big deal. We have seen far more incubation going on this year prior to the third egg being laid. Today we had clear skies, afternoon temps just into the low 50's, and winds from the SW at 15MPH, with gusts up to 25MPH. Let's look for final egg on Thursday afternoon!
Any questions or comments, feel free to check-in at cbgibson AT comcast.net!
The morning started off under mostly cloudy skies, wind from the south at 12MPH and gusts up to 23MPH, and temp at a balmy 57F. The forecast calls for showers, mainly after 1pm. High near 63. South wind 11 to 16 mph, with gusts as high as 31 mph. Chance of precipitation is 80%. New precipitation amounts between a tenth and quarter of an inch possible.
The female was observed inside the nest box just after 7AM this morning, both standing over the first egg and then nestled down lower in incubation mode. She constantly looked around and also vocalized a bit at times. The wind circulated just enough inside the nest box to move her feathers around while she incubated the egg. In prior years, the first egg would be left for longer periods unattended, but this year seems to be getting more active attention. As an observer, you may have to keep watching for a while until she lifts up off the egg and takes a break!
Checked back in later in the afternoon and the second egg had yet to appear and then checked back just before 6PM and the second egg was seen when she lifted up for a few moments and took off for a bathroom break! We'll look for the next egg to be laid, hopefully on Tuesday afternoon!

Q: Symfony2/Doctrine QueryBuilder multiple andwhere() fail Bonjour,
I am having a problem with a simple request with QueryBuilder :
$query->where('ec.codeModePrelevement IN (:cbMode)')
        ->setParameter('cbMode', $modes)

        ->andWhere('ec.idStatusPaiement = :status')
        ->setParameter('status', EcheancesStatut::__EN_ATTENTE_PAIEMENT__)

        ->andWhere($query->expr()->eq('ec.idProduit',1))
         ->andWhere('ec.idProduit = :idProduit')
         ->setParameter('idProduit', 1 )
        ;

This return me no result as if in the database no user is corresponding  to this : user with status = 1 codeproduit = 1 and modePaiement = VM or VMMANO.
Ihave verified all possible mistakes of typo. And users corresponding in database do exist.
I have tried to remove id produit filter it "works" i have some result:
        $modes = array('VM','VMMANO');
        $query->where('ec.codeModePrelevement IN (:cbMode)')
        ->setParameter('cbMode', $modes)

        ->andWhere('ec.idStatusPaiement = :status')
        ->setParameter('status', EcheancesStatut::__EN_ATTENTE_PAIEMENT__)

         /*->andWhere('ec.idProduit = :idProduit')
         ->setParameter('idProduit', 1 )*/
        ;

This "works" to (removing modePaiement filter):
 $query/*->where('ec.codeModePrelevement IN (:cbMode)')
        ->setParameter('cbMode', $modes)*/

        ->where('ec.idStatusPaiement = :status')
        ->setParameter('status', EcheancesStatut::__EN_ATTENTE_PAIEMENT__)

         ->andWhere('ec.idProduit = :idProduit')
         ->setParameter('idProduit', 1 )
        ;

but this returns me no result to (removing status payment filter) :
$query->where('ec.codeModePrelevement IN (:cbMode)')
        ->setParameter('cbMode', $modes)

        /*->where('ec.idStatusPaiement = :status')
        ->setParameter('status', EcheancesStatut::__EN_ATTENTE_PAIEMENT__)*/

         ->andWhere('ec.idProduit = :idProduit')
         ->setParameter('idProduit', 1 )
        ;

Can you help me if you see something that i don't? Thank you.

Exclusive: Feds to review deadly force by Philly cops
Shootings by Philadelphia police soared in 2012.Read more
by By Sam Wood, PHILLY.COM, External or Unknown
With shootings by Philadelphia police rising to the highest level in over a decade, Commissioner Charles H. Ramsey has asked the Department of Justice to review the department's use of deadly force.
The request follows a Philly.com story published May 14 documenting a 50-percent increase in the number of police shootings in 2012.
Police in Philadelphia shot 52 suspects last year. Of those, 15 people died. In 2011, police wounded or killed 35 people.
"When you have as many as we've had, it gets people wondering if they were all justified," Ramsey said. "We've been looking at this issue since December. The Civil Rights Division of the DOJ knows and agrees this is a good course of action."
The Justice Department's review, to be funded by the federal Office of Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS), will include an analysis of policies, procedures, training and tactics. It will begin in mid-July.
Calling on the Justice Department is not a first for Ramsey. As chief of the Washington D.C. police, he requested a similar inquiry.
The DOJ conducted a comparable review in Las Vegas. The 2012 study prompted a major overhaul in policy. Among the changes adopted there: Las Vegas police are now advised to place minimal reliance upon the use of force; focus on de-escalating dangerous situations; and be willing to retreat from erratic subjects.
The rise in shootings by police in Philadelphia last year came as the rate of violent crime continued to plummet and the number of assaults on police officers fell.
Philadelphia police this year have been involved in 19 shootings to date, about 32 percent fewer than last year's 28 during the same period.
Ramsey said he had called in the feds because an internal assessment might not be viewed with the same degree of faith and trust.
"When you don't have the credibility in the minds of the public, then it doesn't matter," he said. "There will always be a bit of a cloud. It leads to tension in the communities where we're most concerned.
"We may have reached that point here in Philadelphia," he said.
Philadelphia in recent years has had one of the highest rates of shootings by police in the nation. When measured against violent crime, Philadelphia, more often than not, has topped other major cities for which data were available: Dallas, Baltimore, Chicago, Houston, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, and New York City.
The police departments in each of those cities have recently undergone reviews of their use of deadly force.
Ramsey's decision to invite the Department of Justice was met with applause, though some expressed doubt that changes would be made.
"Given the number of police shootings in the last year, an outside review of shooting policies and practices is a good and necessary first step," said Philadelphia civil rights attorney David Rudovsky. "But none of it is binding. There is no force of law behind any of it. They can ignore it."
Ramsey said would open up the entire department to federal inspection and act on their findings.
"I think it's important that that level of scrutiny take place," Ramsey said. "When we do that, whatever those recommendations are, I'm ready to implement those guidelines."
Ramsey's decision to call in the DOJ was hailed as "courageous" and "extraordinary" by Kelvyn Anderson, the executive director of the city's Police Advisory Commission.
Extraordinary it may be, but for Ramsey it is not without precedent. Ramsey has a national reputation as a reformer.
"He says what he means, means what he says, and will do what he says. That's why I have such confidence the reforms will be implemented," said Josh Ederheimer, the interim head of the Justice Department's COPS office.
When Ramsey was appointed chief in Washington D.C., he joined a department with a reputation tarnished by the use of excessive force. One of his first actions was to call for a review by the Department of Justice.
Before Ramsey left Washington for Philadelphia, police shootings dropped 87 percent. But Washington, he said, was a different situation.
"D.C. had no training and standards at all," he said. "Some officers had gone two or three years without firearms training at all."
The situation in Philadelphia isn't nearly as egregious.
A Philadelphia review will likely take less than a year, Ramsey said. After consultants do a soup-to-nuts investigation, the Justice Department will bring experts to the city. As in Las Vegas, the federal government will fund the entire process.
Ramsey said he is optimistic a review will reduce the amount of police gunfire, and, perhaps save lives of both citizens and the police that protect them.
"I want to keep officers safe. I don't want any more officer deaths," he said. "I want people to understand that if you can back out of a situation, or do something else, that may be the better way."
But he's also realistic.
"I can't guarantee there will be no more shootings," he said.

Rafael de Cárdenas Selects His Picks at Object & Thing
Sara Roffino
Object & Thing opens in Bushwick's 99 Scott building.
It's not easy to make space in the calendar for another art fair. But former Frieze director Abby Bangser's Object & Thing is taking over Bushwick's 99 Scott Street with just the sort of subtle elegance that might be the salve we all need for Frieze week. With just 32 galleries offering sculptural and design works in a curated, booth-free (and booth fee-free) former warehouse, the fair is designed to offer the immediate gratification of shopping with prices starting at $1000.
"The way things are curated and their price points are meant to enhance this kind of immediate seduction you might have for something," explains Rafael de Cárdenas, the founder of Architecture at Large who is also serving as the fair's artistic director. "Everything is set on tables, which serves as a nod to a residential environment. It's a nice contrast to the austerity of most galleries." De Cárdenas shares a few of his picks from the inaugural edition of Object & Thing, running May 3–5.
Françoise Grossen Françoise's work tends to feel distinctly manipulated in the best way: handcrafted but also exacting and precise.

Land in a cyclone's wake becomes more vulnerable to forest fires

The strong winds and torrential rains that accompany a cyclone do tremendous damage to ecosystems, and this damage can make them more prone to future wildfires. As intense cyclones are projected to become more frequent worldwide, a team of researchers publishing in Trends in Plant Science on October 13 examines the links between cyclones and forest fires, how they fuel one another, and why we may see fires burning in unlikely places in the future.
"Rainforests, for instance, are wet by definition, which makes them resistant to fire. But when they are disturbed by cyclones, it can allow fire to spread into those ecosystems. To have a fire, we need three things: fuel to burn, dry enough micro-climate, and a source of ignition," says lead author Thomas Ibanez, a plant ecologist at the French National Research Institute for Sustainable Development working with the University of Montpellier. "Cyclones can affect all three elements."
Cyclones are storms that originate in the South Pacific or Indian Oceans, and like hurricanes in the Atlantic or typhoons in the Northwestern Pacific, they deliver heavy rains, storm surges, and gale-force winds. Strong cyclones can have winds with speeds well over 200 kilometers per hour, which can damage forests and prime them for forest fires.
"When the wind from a cyclone blows, it damages trees, bringing down a lot of leaves, twigs, branches, and logs to the ground, which make great fuel for future fire," says Ibanez. "Wind also opens the canopy, bringing more light in the undergrowth, which can promote the growth of grasses or bushes that also make good fuel. Also, when the canopy is opened, it makes the undergrowth drier because the canopy usually shades it from the sun and locks in moisture."
Cyclones may also indirectly increase the instances of human-generated ignition by rendering forests promising places to conduct agriculture. "This phenomenon is common where people depend on slash-and-burn agriculture or forest resources for livelihoods," says Ibanez. "After cyclones, damaged forests may be burned to provide ash beds for planting new crops and for easier access to forest resources."
Not only do cyclones make the likelihood of fire greater, but the fires may also change the ways that cyclones affect forests. "Of course, fire cannot directly affect the likelihood of cyclones, because the cyclones originate from oceans, but they can affect the response of the ecosystem to cyclones," says Ibanez. "If you have a fire, it can make the trees weaker to resist cyclone winds or it can kill trees and promote the regrowth of trees that are less resistant to cyclones."
In some regions that have had strong cyclones and fires historically, the events are a natural part of maintaining the land. "In cyclone-prone regions, there are also ecosystems that are adapted to frequent cyclones and fires, and interactions between these disturbances actually maintain original and species-rich ecosystems," says Ibanez. "In these ecosystems, human activities that reduce fire, such as land use change and fire suppression, can threaten the stability of the ecosystem and cause biodiversity loss."
But, as climate change increases the intensity of extreme weather events like cyclones and temperatures continue to rise, the storms are projected to reach locations that they haven't in the past. Ibanez and his colleagues hope they can continue to study cyclone-fire interactions.
"We would like to better understand how this phenomenon varies by location. We could then predict with climate change which places would be more likely to be affected by these changes," he says. "An important component of global change is that ecosystems do not face just one disturbance, but a mix of several disturbances, and the interaction between new disturbances can result in unexpected effects."
