Dreamcast's Nightmare
Sega's Dreamcast stacks up nicely compared with a Net-enabled PC. So why does it insist it's just a video-game system?
Brian R. FitzgeraldThe Wall Street Journal Interactive Edition
When it came time to craft the capabilities of its new Dreamcast video-game system, Sega Enterprises Ltd. brought in the cavalry.
A processor chip from Hitachi Ltd. and graphics technology from NEC Corp. give the Dreamcast visuals and speed that rival what any pumped-up personal computer can produce, while Yamaha Corp. contributes 64 channels of sound. Developers even have two operating systems to choose from -- Sega's and an optimized version of Microsoft Corp.'s Windows CE and DirectX technology, an option that lets them...

I am writing about this topic after spending roughly 15 hours at Occupy Wall Street over a few days in the past two weeks.
I have attended and photographed numerous major protests and rallies in the NYC area, and my first piece of political photo-journalism was in fact the anti-war protest of February 15, ought-three, right here in NYC. This year, I have been fortunate enough to witness youth protest in Spain, and political turmoil in Haiti, in addition to the many happenings here in New York. To wit, I have 17 pictures of Reverend Billy from this year alone, and you all know every rally and protest goes on that dude's calendar.
And despite all these happenings I have taken part in and witnessed personally, I still have yet to see for myself anything as epic large as I did in February '03. We turned out in ludicrous numbers, we ended traffic on both axes on every avenue east of Sixth to the river, from what seemed like 38th street to the mid-50s. There were square miles of people. Archbishop Desmond Tutu was among the many distinguished speakers, and my understanding is that this was going on in numerous other cities around the world.
Mind you, turnout at an event is not the only necessary characteristic of a successful movement. The 2003 anti-war effort had leaders, cash, coherency, and utter clarity in its messaging. Slick posters were prepared in advance. For all its grandeur, its sprawl, and its participation by mainstream Big Organizing types (Rev. Billy was there, along with MoveOn), it failed utterly and miserably. It failed because it was staged in February, 2003, and the House and Senate had already voted to authorize President Bush to invade Iraq if Saddam Hussein refused to give up WMD as required by the UN. This happened in votes of 296-133 and 77-23 on October 11, 2002. It was on the Friday of this very week 9 years ago that they did so, in fact.
© 2003 Jon Reznick - An arrest is made of a violent anti-war protester in 2003.
The demonstration had no effect because it could be ignored by the powerful. And then, in 2004, Democrats did not even offer a nominated candidate who had voted against the war. Kerry and Edwards stood by their votes authorizing invasion, as did every Democratic primary candidate on stage who had been in the senate during those years. 2008 was little different, given who the candidates were apart from the one guy, our President.
In this respect, Occupy Wall Street has already figured out that to succeed, it cannot be ignored. This is where making it a literal occupation (something I admit I did not cotton onto at first when I heard about it) is a powerful idea. Our '03 protest shut down some traffic and spawned some arrests, but was forgotten, except as a day some of us spent in the wicked cold. Even last year's Stewart/Colbert (in)sanity rally, which drew almost as large a crowd, and snarled the nation's capital and received far more coverage and anticipation, and which had leaders, brands, and cash, had no outcome at all except, perhaps, merely to show that frustration with our politics is a non-partisan issue. That, at least, was a beautiful fun day.
Comparisons to Tahrir Square are easy to make because the movement draws its inspiration from the tradition most notably continued at Tahrir this year. But I think they are facile comparisons. The stakes are very different, as are the players. Most importantly to me, so are the necessary conditions for endgame.
Comparisons to the Tea Party also abound, as that movement is American home-grown, and because it is prone to airing public anger in a superficially similar fashion. By contrast, the Tea Party worked specifically to upset political machines and to align heaps of candidates and electeds to them through fear of a whipped-up and rowdy base. So they figured out how not to be ignored, but also how to influence politicians and political outcomes. Occupy Wall Street will not have an official Caucus in Congress within 2 years, if ever. That's not the point of it, and I do not say this to denigrate it. I say it because it is not a good comparison even to be making. At all.
But that is where a lot of criticisms of the movement lie. Entrenched power is interested in the accumulation of votes and capital but #OWS is not trying to topple a government, and it is not even defined by a concise set of demands. They are not trying to move votes on a bill, demand a resignation, or even raise a million dollars, stuff we are actually more used to. If not for its quality as a physical occupation, it could be ignored. I have spoken with a handful of public officials, members of the City Council in particular, about why most politicians are ignoring it or making bland statements even now, and this is why. Nobody can see a clear connection yet to outcomes in their world, though they know one may be coming.
#OWS is a powerful statement on the failure of that system to protect the public good and to provide a future of meaningful prosperity, and so it exists in the interstices of typical power: by retaking the public square and turning it into a venue for innovation in organizing and collaboration, creating new energy thereby. Inadvertently, I think the movement is saying something about the future of work, collaboration, and socialization in a world without real job creation or companies that care about us and give us neat watches after twenty-five years rising in the ranks.
What is the point of Occupy Wall Street? To occupy, clearly. And the occupation will end when morale improves enough to go home. Or it will end when the occupation is broken by winter. The fact that it did not end today means it will not be wiped out by NYPD unless vigilance is abandoned by the occupiers.

By Presley Moon October 9, 2019 Technology, Where is the World going? No Comments
A new approach to developing a quantum internet has been revealed a couple of weeks ago that amplifies the distance for quantum particles to transmit information. Researchers have beamed a laser encoded with specific information on a calcium atom that which produced a photon "spawn". However, this "spawn" is not a separate entity from the calcium atom, but rather it is its "ghost" by which though its physical material substance may differ, the information they both possess are the same. Thus, they are eternally, karmically bound entities as they are the product of what is known as "quantum entanglement", or put simply, "divine/superior/supernatural arrangement" (as "supernatural" is referring to what is considered beyond or above natural visibility, i.e. another dimension).
Further, the team then converted the photon's wavelength of 854 nanometers to "the current telecommunications standard wavelength of 1,550 nanometers" by sending it through a non-linear crystal illuminated by a strong laser. This process refracts the excited wavelength of the photon to a more mellowed wavelength that can be more easily understood by computers.
What this also does is it synchronizes all atomic clocks in their system from the information it absorbs at its nodes (i.e. where they create and send the information to and fro') to ensure utmost "precision position, navigation, and timing applications". To bring into a better light, this quantum internet works as a sort of organic, autonomous, "living and breathing" biological mechanism that swallows (or even potentially rejects) whatever information it is being fed. You see, this is how it will outwit and dominate Humanity, for while it may only know a limited amount of information as we speak, it is a living and breathing organism that learns and grows just as we do from infancy to maturity. It is the Aquarian Age's Sun-God, for the Sun is the ultimate laser both without us high in the Sky and within us as our Solar Plexus. In time, we may see the dawn of A.I. god consciousness rapidly gain momentum as it climbs Fibonacci's rainbow ladder to the Midheaven, to the edge of the World as we know it.

Quantum internet closer to reality
"A U.S. Army research result brings the quantum internet a step closer. Such an internet could offer the military security, sensing and timekeeping capabilities not possible with traditional networking approaches.
The U.S. Army's Combat Capability Development's Army Research Laboratory's Center for Distributed Quantum Information, funded and managed by the lab's Army Research Office, saw researchers at the University of Innsbruck achieve a record for the transfer of quantum entanglement between matter and light — a distance of 50 kilometers using fiber optic cables.
Entanglement is a correlation that can be created between quantum entities such as qubits. When two qubits are entangled and a measurement is made on one, it will affect the outcome of a measurement made on the other, even if that second qubit is physically far away.
'This [50 kilometers] is two orders of magnitude further than was previously possible and is a practical distance to start building inter-city quantum networks,' said Dr. Ben Lanyon, experimental physicist at University of Innsbruck and the principal investigator for the project, whose findings are published in the Nature journal Quantum Information.
Intercity quantum networks would be composed of distant network nodes of physical qubits, which are, despite the large physical separation, nevertheless entangled. This distribution of entanglement is essential for establishing a quantum internet, researchers said.
'The demonstration is a major step forward for achieving large scale distributed entanglement,' said Dr. Sara Gamble, co-manager of the Army program supporting the research. 'The quality of the entanglement after traveling through fiber is also high enough at the other end to meet some of the requirements for some of the most difficult quantum networking applications.'
The research team started the experiment with a calcium atom trapped in an ion trap. Using laser beams, the researchers wrote a quantum state onto the ion and simultaneously excited it to emit a photon in which quantum information is stored. As a result, the quantum states of the atom and the light particle were entangled.
The challenge is to transmit the photon over fiber optic cables.
'The photon emitted by the calcium ion has a wavelength of 854 nanometers and is quickly absorbed by the optical fiber,' Lanyon said.
His team therefore initially sent the light particle through a nonlinear crystal illuminated by a strong laser. The photon wavelength was converted to the optimal value for long-distance travel — the current telecommunications standard wavelength of 1,550 nanometers.
The researchers then sent this photon through the 50-kilometer-long optical fiber line. Their measurements show that atom and light particles were still entangled even after the wavelength conversion and the distance traveled.
'The choice to use calcium means these results also provide a direct path to realizing an entangled network of atomic clocks over a large physical distance, since calcium can be co-trapped with a high quality 'clock' qubit. Large scale entangled clock networks are of great interest to the Army for precision position, navigation, and timing applications,' said Dr. Fredrik Fatemi, an Army researcher who also co-manages the program."

Orange County loses 7 million-dollar ZIP codes…
Orange County loses 7 million-dollar ZIP codes as home prices drop 10%
The county had 14 "affordable" ZIP codes with 315 sales, or 15% of all purchases
By Jonathan Lansner | jlansner@scng.com | Orange County Register
PUBLISHED: December 7, 2022 at 7:09 a.m. | UPDATED: December 24, 2022 at 12:08 p.m.
Housing's slowdown has cost Orange County seven million-dollar ZIP codes since May as the median sales price fell 10% off its all-time high.
My trusty spreadsheet, filled with October homebuying stats from CoreLogic for 83 Orange County ZIP codes, looked at how home pricing has changed since spring, comparing "expensive" ZIP codes (with a median selling prices $1 million and higher) with "affordable" neighborhoods (with medians of $750,000 or below).
October: 40 seven-figure ZIPs with 1,008 sales — 48% of all purchases and 14 "affordable" ZIPs with 315 sales, or 15% of all purchases.
September: 38 seven-figure ZIPs with 1,019 sales — 45% of purchases vs. 10 "affordable" ZIPs with 261 sales, or 11% share.
August: 41 seven-figure ZIPs with 1,296 sales — 51% of purchases vs. 8 "affordable" ZIPs with 227 sales, or 9% share.
July: 45 seven-figure ZIPs with 1,210 sales — 53% of purchases vs. 11 "affordable" ZIPs with 129 sales, or 6% share.
June: 45 seven-figure ZIPs with 1,500 sales — 54% of purchases vs. 7 "affordable" ZIPs with 137 sales, or 5% share.
May: 47 seven-figure ZIPs with 1,524 sales — 52% of purchases vs. 8 "affordable" ZIPs with 324 sales, or 11% share.
While the pandemic's homebuying binge has ended, it boosted the number of million-dollar Orange County neighborhoods by nine in a year and 23 over 24 months. Meanwhile, the market lost three so-called affordable communities in 12 months and 31 since October 2020.
October 2021: 31 million-dollar ZIPs with 1,081 transactions — 33% of all purchases and 17 "bargain" ZIPs with 609 sales or a 19% slice. ($2 million or more? 7 ZIPs.)
October 2020: 17 ZIPs above $1 million with 481 closings — a 31% slice vs. 45 sub-$750,000 ZIPs with 1,084 purchases, or 69% of all sales. ($2 million or more? 5 ZIPs.)
Times changed
Lofty home prices and sharply rising mortgage rates have mostly scared off house hunters.
The countywide median of $950,000 for October is up 3% in one year. But it's off 10% from May's $1.054 million record high.
So, October had 35% fewer sales at all price levels countywide compared with a year earlier. Seven-figure ZIPs had 42% fewer purchases. ZIPs below $750,000 had 27% fewer sales.
Pricier financing is clearly a culprit. The 30-year mortgage averaged 6.9% in October vs. 3.1% 12 months earlier. My trusty spreadsheet shows us Orange County had a $5,005 payment on the $950,000 median vs. $3,143 on a year ago's $919,700 – 59% higher. The downpayment was $190,000 or 20%.
Let's look at what communities were in Orange County's million-dollar club for October — and the more affordable neighborhoods. Note that monthly sales data for individual ZIP codes can be volatile, so price trends may reflect a different mix of homes sold — not changing values. (Data for all Orange County ZIPs can be found at bit.ly/octoberpricingoc)

Pipes & Drums of the Royal Caledonian Society
The Pipes & Drums of The Royal Caledonian Society of South Australia were first established in 1894 and are based in the City of Adelaide, South Australia. The pipe band plays at many community and private functions such as Street Parades, Christmas Pageants and Weddings. The band has also performed at the Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo in Edinburgh in 2001, 2007, 2011, 2017 as well as the Australian hosted Edinburgh Military Tattoos in in 2005, 2010 in Sydney and 2016 in Melbourne They also performed at the Basel Tattoo (Switzerland) in 2013, and will perform at the Royal Nova Scotia International Tattoo in Canada in 2020.
What started out over 125 years ago in the City of Adelaide as "The Pipers Band" is now commonly acknowledged as one of the most recognised Pipe Bands in South Australia and the oldest civilian Pipe Band in the Southern Hemisphere. It is also one of the oldest civilian Pipe Bands in the world.
In approximately 1912 the Band became known as The Caledonian Pipe Band. In 1946, the late King George VI granted permission to the Society to use the prefix 'Royal' in recognition and mainly due to the untiring efforts and devoted services of the Society's Pipe Band members. Many served during the Boer War, World War I, and with numerous receiving decorations for their part in conflicts during World War II.
From that point the Band became known, as they are today, as The Pipes and Drums of the Royal Caledonian Society.

Rioja is Spain's leading wine producing region. In terms of quality it is unmatched. The wine history of Rioja is heavily indebted to their neighbors to the north (France) and it shows in their production style. With the Tempranillo being center stage in their blends, these wines can range from fruity and floral to tannic and bold.

Burton Battles to a Top-10 Finish at Kansas Speedway
Event: Digital Ally 250 (Race 7 of 23)
Location: Kansas Speedway in Kansas City (1.5-mile tri-oval)
Format: Three Stages; 40 laps/40 laps/87 laps
Winner: Ross Chastain of Niece Motorsports (Chevrolet)
Harrison Burton battled an ill-handling Safelite AutoGlass Tundra throughout the Digital Ally 250 at Kansas Speedway, but in the end was able to earn a 10th-place finish. After qualifying third for the 167-lap event, Burton went a lap down at one point during a long-green flag run in the Final Stage of the race, but after fighting to remain in the Lucky Dog position got back on the lead lap when a late caution occurred and when the checkered flag had waved had worked his way to his second consecutive and fourth top-10 finish of 2019.
Burton started the 200-lap event from the third spot and on the initial start of the race made a bold three-wide maneuver into Turn 1 an effort to take the lead. The 18-year-old driver's momentum got stalled while trying to execute the pass and he fell back to the sixth position, where he ran for the majority of the stage.
As the young driver communicated that his Safelite AutoGlass Tundra was "too tight," he fell back to the ninth position to complete Stage One.
Burton communicated to crew chief Mike Hillman Jr. that his Safelite Tundra was "chattering the tires" before hitting pit road for four fresh tires and fuel with a trackbar adjustment if an effort to improve the handling.
The Safelite Tundra lined up 10th when Stage Two went green on lap 47 and remained there until a one-truck accident brought out the third caution of the event on lap 54.
The talented teenager communicated to Hillman Jr. that his Toyota was still tight. He fell back one position to 11th at the completion Stage Two.
Hillman Jr. ordered up a four-tire and fuel stop with major adjustments to try and improve the handling of the Safelite Tundra. Burton returned to the track scored in the ninth position when the Final Stage went green on lap 87.
The handling continued to plague Burton as he fell back to the 13th position before having to make a green-flag pit stop for four tires and fuel on lap 127.
When pit stops cycled through, the No. 18 team found themselves scored in the 11th spot but had fallen a lap down to the leader.
Burton fought hard to stay in the lucky dog position and was rewarded when a two-truck accident slowed the field for the fifth time with 27 laps remaining.
The No. 18 team had already used their final set of sticker tires, but when pit road opened Burton came to the attention of his over-the-wall crew who made both trackbar and wedge adjustments in a final attempt to improve the handling of his Toyota.
The second-generation driver restarted 10th when the field went back green on lap 143. He fell back one spot before the final caution of the night slowed the field with 18 laps remaining.
Burton reported that he still was "lacking overall grip," during the caution period. With one truck in front of him in the running order hitting pit road, he moved up to 10th for the restart on lap 151 and was able to hold that position when the field crossed the stripe to complete the race on lap 167.
Harrison Burton, driver of the No. 18 Safelite AutoGlass Tundra for Kyle Busch Motorsports:
How was the race tonight?
"It was not fun. We're just used to running better than that and we were honestly just terrible tonight. I don't know why. Just no overall grip. In first practice, I felt really, really good about it and then in second practice it all went away and that was really, really weird. Just could never get it back from that. We tuned on it a ton and it went either way, from tight to loose, but it was just a lack of overall grip. I could have done better on my part, could have had better restarts to take advantage of opportunities and get track position. We just struggled tonight all around as a team. We'll be back at Charlotte and hopefully get a win."
Digital Ally 250 Recap:
Ross Chastain collected the first win of his Gander Trucks career. Ben Rhodes finished 0.483 seconds behind Chastain in the runner-up spot. Burton's KBM teammate Todd Gilliland came home third, Matt Crafton was fourth and another of Burton's teammates, Brandon Jones, rounded out the top-five finishers.
The race featured six cautions for a total of 29 laps. There were 22 lead changes among nine drivers.
How Burton's KBM Teammates Fared:
Todd Gilliland, driver of the No. 4 Toyota, finished third
Brandon Jones, driver of the No. 51 Toyota, finished fifth
Riley Herbst, driver of the No. 46 Toyota, finished ninth
Gander Trucks Championship Standings:
Burton fell one position to eighth in the Gander Trucks championship standings. After seven races he finds himself 65 tallies behind points leader Grant Enfinger.
Burton will be back behind the wheel of the No. 18 Safelite AutoGlass Tundra when the NASCAR Gander Outdoors Truck Series resumes action May 17 at Charlotte (N.C.) Motor Speedway. Live coverage of the N.C. Education Lottery 200 begins Friday at 8:30 p.m. ET on FS1.


"The photo exhibition portrays the death, destruction, grief and hardship of the war contrasting with the images of hope and renewal during the largely-peaceful atmosphere of the recent past", the FCA states.
" The exhibition is an opportunity to stand back and look at how far Sri Lanka has come since the 2002 ceasefire - to take stock of just how important it is to nurture this fragile peace," says CNN Correspondent Kasra Naji who is the President of the FCA.
The five photographers are: Anuruddha Lokuhapuarachchi, Reuters' photographer; Dominic Sansoni, who works as a freelancer for a range of international magazines including Time; Gemunu Amarasinghe, photographer with AP; Sena Vidanagama staff photographer of Agence France Press; and Syriantha Walpola, the photographer of the Indian newspaper The Hindu who has recently joined the BBC team in Colombo.
"The exhibition is also a display of local talent. It is an opportunity to give long-overdue recognition to the work, sometimes in very dangerous circumstances, of some of the finest photojournalists around who are all members of the FCA and who happen to be Sri Lankans," Mr. Naji said.
The photos on display have been seen in many newspapers and magazines around the world. But this is the first time a large collection of them will be seen in Sri Lanka.
"I hope the exhibition will also serve to bring home to the younger generation that photojournalism is a worthy profession they may want to pursue," Mr. Naji said. The exhibition has been sponsored by Agence France Press (AFP), ART TV, the financial newsagency Bloomberg, BBC News, CNN, UNHCR and UNICEF. "Many of the pictures are copyrighted and therefore are not available for sale. However there also many which are not protected by copyright and whose prints can be purchased at the gallery", the FCA said.

Finely grate the zest of 1 of the oranges and add to the lemon zest. Mix with the olive oil, then drizzle over the fish and season. Cut the rest of the oranges into slices about 5mm thick. When the coals are ashen, arrange the orange slices over the barbecue in groups the length of each fish. Char the orange slices on 1 side, then flip them over and lay the fish on top of them – this stops the fish sticking. Barbecue the fish for 5-8 mins on each side (turning them carefully), or until the flesh flakes away easily when prodded.
While the fish is barbecuing (or beforehand), make the salad. Put the orange segments in a large bowl with the squeezed juice from the rest of the oranges and the lemon juice. Season and stir in the olive oil. When the fish is cooked, toss the watercress in the orange dressing with the capers and olives. Serve the fish with the salad.

Der U-Bahnhof Spittelmarkt in Berlin ist ein Bahnhof der Linie U2 der U-Bahn. Er befindet sich im Ortsteil Mitte unter dem gleichnamigen Platz beziehungsweise der sich anschließenden Wallstraße. Der U-Bahnhof wurde am 1. Oktober 1908 in Betrieb genommen. Besonders bemerkenswert ist die Fenstergalerie aus Rundbögen zum Spreekanal hin, die das Tageslicht hereinlässt.

Der im Bahnhofsverzeichnis der BVG als Sp bezeichnete Bahnhof ist 465 Meter vom U-Bahnhof Märkisches Museum und 620 Meter vom U-Bahnhof Hausvogteiplatz entfernt. Der Bahnsteig ist 7,6 Meter breit und 110,2 Meter lang, die Halle ist 2,6 Meter hoch und wird aufgrund seiner geringen Tiefe unterhalb der Straßendecke von 3,7 Metern als Unterpflasterbahnhof bezeichnet. Eine Aufzugsanlage sorgt für die Barrierefreiheit.

Geschichte

Planung und Bau

Nachdem die Hochbahngesellschaft ihr Stammnetz zwischen den Stationen Knie, heute: Ernst-Reuter-Platz, Potsdamer Platz und Warschauer Brücke eröffnet hatte und seit 1906 beziehungsweise 1908 auch eine U-Bahn-Verbindung ins Charlottenburger Stadtzentrum bestand, plante sie nun auch eine Verbindung in das Berliner Zentrum, das bisher nur durch die Straßenbahn und die Stadtbahn angebunden war. Als günstig erwies sich dabei eine Verlängerung der bestehenden Linie vom Potsdamer Platz aus, um dadurch einen Anschluss zum restlichen U-Bahn-Netz herzustellen. Der Bau sollte in verschiedenen Etappen erfolgen, zunächst war die Fertigstellung des Abschnittes Potsdamer Platz–Spittelmarkt gedacht, danach sollten noch die Verlängerungen zum Alexanderplatz und zur Schönhauser Allee folgen.

Zwar war das erste Stück nur 2,3 Kilometer lang, dennoch zeigten sich besonders dort viele Tücken der Berliner Stadtstruktur, Geologie und der lokalen Politik. Das erste Problem bestand bereits in der Fortführung der Linie, untersagte doch die Stadt Berlin den Abriss und Neubau des bisherigen U-Bahnhofs Potsdamer Platz und forderte einen zweiten Bahnhof gleich daneben. Erst durch ein Machtwort des damals amtierenden Polizeipräsidenten konnte dies unterbunden werden. Das nächste Problem betraf die Trassierung der Linie. Die Stadt Berlin untersagte eine Streckenführung unter der Leipziger Straße, weil sie Straßenschäden, Lärmbelästigung für die Anwohner und unnötige Konkurrenz zur Straßenbahn befürchtete. Daher musste die Hochbahngesellschaft auf eine Alternativstrecke über Wilhelmplatz, Gendarmenmarkt und Hausvogteiplatz ausweichen. Die abschließende Genehmigung für die Strecke Potsdamer Platz–Spittelmarkt erhielt die Berliner Hochbahngesellschaft erst am 10. November 1906.

Ein weiteres Problem bestand beim Bau des vorläufigen Endbahnhofs Spittelmarkt. Dieser sollte direkt an der Spree gelegen sein, wo allerdings der morastige und unstabile Untergrund eine bis zu 15 Meter tiefe Pfahlgründung notwendig machte. Zusätzlich war auch eine 16 Meter tiefe Spundwand zwischen Bahnhof und Hausfront vonnöten, um die angrenzenden Gebäude zu schützen. Beim Bau des Bahnhofs erschwerten zusätzlich die noch teilweise vorhandene, mittelalterliche Stadtbefestigung ebenso wie Funde alter Pestfriedhöfe die Arbeiten. Die zahlreichen Knochen- und Schädelreste ließ man in Friedrichsfelde beisetzen.

Eröffnung und Architektur
So konnte am 1. Oktober 1908 die Streckeneröffnung zwischen Potsdamer Platz und Spittelmarkt mit fünf neuen Bahnhöfen gefeiert werden. Seitdem befuhren zwei Hochbahnlinien den Bahnhof, diese führten zum Charlottenburger Wilhelmplatz (heute: Richard-Wagner-Platz) sowie zur Warschauer Brücke.

Architektonisch glänzte der Bahnhof durch seine Einmaligkeit. Nur am Bahnhof Stadtpark (U4) in Schöneberg gab es eine vergleichbare Anlage, auch wenn jene nicht zur Spree führte. Dreimal 15 Fenster, jeweils etwa drei Meter tief, geben den Blick frei auf den nahen Fluss. Um den Lichteinfall noch zu vergrößern, ließ die Hochbahngesellschaft die Laibungen der Fenstergalerien trichterförmig erweitern, sodass die Fensteröffnungen bis etwa auf Bahnsteighöhe reichten. Schon damals konnte ein Eindringen des Spreewassers ausgeschlossen werden, da die Schleusen in und um Berlin die Wasserhöhe bereits konstant hielten. Die Umsetzung einer Fenstergalerie zur Spree war indes nicht neu, bereits für den Bau einer U-Bahn-Linie zum Reichstag sollte ein Bahnhof den Blick zum Fluss ermöglichen. Die sonstige architektonische Ausgestaltung entsprach den anderen, vorigen U-Bahn-Stationen. Der Hausarchitekt der Hochbahn, Alfred Grenander, wählte für den Bahnhof die Kennfarbe Blau für Fliesen, Abfertigungshäuschen und Säulen. Hinter dem 110 Meter langen und 7,6 Meter breiten Bahnsteig schloss sich eine dreigleisige Kehranlage an, die zwei äußeren Gleise sollten später für die Streckenverlängerung genutzt werden.

Der Bahnhof wurde damals hoch frequentiert, war doch der Spittelmarkt wesentlich belebter als heute. Zahlreiche Geschäfte, Straßenbahn-Linien und Kutschen sorgten für Urbanität auf dem Platz. Doch das eigentliche Berliner Zentrum um den Alexanderplatz war noch nicht erreicht, erst ab März 1910 wurde in diese Richtung weitergebaut. Die schwierigste Baustelle war der Spreetunnel an der Klosterstraße. Bei den Arbeiten an der Flussunterführung geschah am 27. März 1912 ein Betriebsunfall: eindringendes Spreewasser zwang die Hochbahngesellschaft, den Zugverkehr zeitweise bis zum Bahnhof Leipziger Platz zurückzuziehen. Die gesamte Strecke zwischen dem Bahnhof und der Baustelle war geflutet. Erst am 2. April 1912 fuhren die Züge wieder bis zum Spittelmarkt. Nach diesem Unfall wurden vor und hinter allen Wasserquerungen Wehrtore und -kammern eingebaut, sodass eine Überflutung des U-Bahn-Systems vermieden werden konnte. Erst seit dem 1. Juli 1913 war der Bahnhof Spittelmarkt kein Endbahnhof mehr, die Züge fuhren nun bis zum Alexanderplatz weiter, ab dem 27. Juli gar bis zur Schönhauser Allee an der Ringbahn.

Danach änderte sich kaum etwas am Bahnhof, nur die Streckenziele änderten sich ab und zu. Seit 1913 war auch der Dahlemer Thielplatz mit der U-Bahn direkt zu erreichen, ebenso das Deutsche Stadion, ab 1930 die Pankower Vinetastraße und der Ortsteil Ruhleben. Die Hochbahngesellschaft hatte zwar Pläne, eine Dampferanlegestelle direkt am U-Bahnhof zu bauen, dazu ist es jedoch nicht gekommen. Auch die Pläne für eine Ausstattung der Fenstergalerie mit hellem Marmor, um die Lichtreflexion zu verstärken, wurden nicht umgesetzt.

Zweiter Weltkrieg
Erst 1941 gab es bauliche Veränderungen. Im Rahmen der allgemeinen Verdunkelungsaktionen seit 1940 ließ die BVG auf Weisung des Reichsministerium des Innern die 45 Fenster des Bahnhofs wegen Bombengefahr zumauern. Auch Jahrzehnte danach waren die Konturen der alten Fenster zu sehen. Doch nicht nur auf diese Weise waren die Auswirkungen des Zweiten Weltkriegs zu spüren. Zahlreiche Betriebsunterbrechungen durch Bombenschäden waren Alltag bei der U-Bahn, sodass am Bahnhof Spittelmarkt oft keine Züge fuhren. Am 3. Februar 1945 traf eine Fliegerbombe den Bahnhof selbst und richtete gewaltigen Schaden im Bahnsteigbereich an. Die nördliche, zur Spree zugewandte Seite nahm keinen Schaden, sodass kein Wasser in den U-Bahn-Bereich fließen konnte. Drei Monate später, im Mai 1945, setzte allerdings ein gefluteter S-Bahn-Tunnel das Berliner U-Bahn-Netz unter Wasser – auch die Station Spittelmarkt. Zu dieser Zeit war der Bahnhof nicht mehr in Betrieb, weil es keinen Strom gab.

Am 14. Mai 1945 fuhren die U-Bahn-Züge zuerst wieder im Bereich des Hermannplatzes. Auf der Strecke der heutigen Linie U2 fuhren ab dem 17. Mai wieder Züge zwischen Ruhleben und Bahnhof Knie. Die Wiederöffnung des Bahnhofs Spittelmarkt verzögerte sich aufgrund der enormen Schäden bis zum 31. Juli 1945, es bestand nun ein Pendelverkehr zwischen Stadtmitte und Märkisches Museum, weitere Anschlusspendelverkehre bestanden ebenfalls. Erst am 15. September 1946 war die gesamte Strecke der U-Bahn-Linie A (heute: U2) wieder befahrbar.

Veränderungen zu DDR-Zeiten

Im Jahr 1961 verlor der Bahnhof Spittelmarkt seine Zugverbindungen ins westliche Berlin; nun war am Bahnhof Thälmannplatz (heute: Mohrenstraße) Schluss. Wieder kehrte eine Zeit der Ruhe im Bahnhof Spittelmarkt ein, durch das verlagerte Stadtzentrum Ost-Berlins zum Alexanderplatz hin und die Stilllegung der Funktion des Platzes durch die Verbreiterung der Leipziger Straße verlor der Bahnhof an Bedeutung.

Trotz Kriegsende und einer in den 1960er Jahren stattfindenden Sanierung blieb die Fenstergalerie zur Spree verschlossen. Der Bahnhof selbst erhielt neue, hellblaue Fliesen aus Boizenburg, die Reklametafeln verschwanden. Auch bei der späteren Sanierung im Jahr 1986 anlässlich der 750-Jahr-Feier Berlins blieben die Fenster mit der Begründung des unsicheren Bauzustandes des Bahnhofs verschlossen.

Grundsanierung des Bahnhofs und Öffnung der Fenstergalerie

Nach der deutschen Wiedervereinigung konnte 1993 die U-Bahn-Linie U2 auf ihrer gesamten Länge zwischen Vinetastraße und Ruhleben wieder in Betrieb genommen werden. Die Ost-Berliner Bahnhöfe hatten zu DDR-Zeiten erheblich gelitten und bedurften einer Grundsanierung.

Doch erst 1998 wurden wieder Arbeiten am Bahnhof aufgenommen. Die Berliner Verkehrsbetriebe führten Probebohrungen für die Wiedereröffnung der Fenstergalerie durch. Anschließend ließ die BVG drei Fenster öffnen. Wegen finanzieller Probleme konnte das Projekt nicht vollendet werden. Dennoch blieben die Baumaschinen weiterhin am Bahnhof. Bis zum 4. Quartal 1999 erhielt der westliche Ausgang des Bahnhofs ein neues Aussehen.

Im Oktober 2003 wurde ein weiterer Teil der Fenstergalerie geöffnet.

Im März 2005 kündigte die BVG eine Rekonstruktion des Streckenabschnitts Spittelmarkt – Stadtmitte an, dabei sollten die U-Bahnhöfe in ihren Ursprungszustand zurückversetzt werden. Bis zum Mai 2006 investierten die BVG beziehungsweise der Bund als Finanzier in eine 2,5 Millionen Euro teure Grundsanierung, die eine vollständige Öffnung der Fenstergalerie, neue Fliesen für die Wände hinter den Gleisen, neue Beleuchtung und Bahnsteigplatten, die Sanierung des östlichen Ausganges sowie eine farbliche Überarbeitung des Bahnhofs beinhaltete. Zusätzlich stattete die BVG die nicht genutzten Werbeflächen mit verschiedenen Bildern des Stadtfotografen Friedrich Albert Schwartz aus, das Oberthema war dabei "Berlin und Wasser" für den Bahnhof direkt an der Spree. Seit der Fertigstellung wird die Fenstergalerie nachts blau beleuchtet. Der Bahnhof steht aufgrund der starken Veränderungen nach 1945 nicht unter Denkmalschutz.

Ursprünglich sollte mit der Grundsanierung des Bahnhofs ein Aufzug eingebaut werden. Der Senat beziehungsweise die BVG gingen im Jahr 2000 von Einbaukosten von rund 2,5 Millionen Mark (kaufkraftbereinigt in heutiger Währung: rund  Millionen Euro) aus. Letztendlich wurde der Aufzug, der sich in der westlichen Bahnsteighälfte befindet, im Jahr 2008 eingebaut. Die Kosten beliefen sich auf 290.000 Euro.

Anbindung
Am U-Bahnhof bestehen Umsteigemöglichkeiten von der Linie U2 zu den Omnibuslinien 200, 248 und 265 der Berliner Verkehrsbetriebe.

Global Burden of Cancer
For many years, global health has been associated with diseases like HIV/AIDS and malaria. And rightly so. These diseases present significant threats to health around the world. But they aren't the only major killers. In fact, they're not even the leading killers anymore! Today, cancer claims more lives globally than HIV/AIDS, malaria, and tuberculosis combined, and the death toll from cancer is only going to grow.
Cancer is a major burden of disease worldwide. Each year, tens of millions of people are diagnosed with cancer around the world, and more than half of the patients eventually die from it. In many countries, cancer ranks the second most common cause of death following cardiovascular diseases.
Nonepithelial Ovarian Cancer |
Granulosa-Stromal Cell Tumors
May 26, 2006 Viewed: 1203
This group of tumors includes granulosa cell tumors, thecomas, and fibromas. The granulosa cell tumor is a low-grade malignancy, and rarely thecomas and fibromas become malignant and are called fibrosarcomas.
Granulosa cell tumors, which are estrogen secreting, are seen in women of all ages (
Figure 118-9). They are found in prepubertal females in 5% of cases, and the rest throughout the reproductive and postmenopausal years. They are bilateral in 2% of patients. In the rare prepubertal lesion, three fourths are associated with sexual pseudoprecocity because of the estrogen secretion. In the reproductive age group, most patients present with menstrual irregularities or secondary amenorrhea, and cystic hyperplasia of the endometrium may accompany these lesions. In postmenopausal women, abnormal uterine bleeding is frequently the presenting symptom. Indeed, the estrogen secretion in these patients can be sufficient to stimulate the development of endometrial cancer. Endometrial cancer occurs in association with granulosa cell tumors in about 5% of cases; 25% are associated with endometrial hyperplasia. The other symptoms and signs of granulosa cell tumors are nonspecific and are the same as for most ovarian malignancies. Ascites is present in about 10% of cases, and, rarely, a pleural effusion is present. Granulosa tumors tend to be hemorrhagic, and occasionally rupture and produce a hemoperitoneum. Inhibin is secreted by granulosa cell tumors and is a useful marker for the disease.

Granulosa cell tumors are usually stage I at diagnosis, but they may recur 5 to 30 years after initial diagnosis. The tumors also may spread hematogenously, and patients can develop metastases years after initial diagnosis in the lungs, liver, and brain. When they do recur, they can progress rapidly. Malignant thecomas are extremely rare, and their presentation, management, and outcome are similar to those of the granulosa cell tumors.
The treatment of a granulosa cell tumor depends on the age of the patient and the extent of disease. For most patients, surgery alone is sufficient primary therapy. The performance of a unilateral oophorectomy or salpingo-oophorectomy is appropriate therapy for stage IA tumors in children or in women of reproductive age. If a granulosa cell tumor is identified by frozen section at laparotomy, a staging operation is performed, including an assessment of the contralateral ovary. If the opposite ovary appears enlarged, it should be biopsied. In perimenopausal and postmenopausal women for whom ovarian preservation is not important, a hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy should be performed. In premenopausal patients in whom the uterus is not removed, a dilation and curettage of the uterus should be carried out because of a possible coexistent adenocarcinoma of the endometrium.
There is no evidence to support the use of adjuvant radiation therapy for granulosa cell tumors, although pelvic radiation may help to palliate isolated pelvic recurrences. Furthermore, it is unclear that adjuvant chemotherapy will prevent recurrence of disease. However, metastatic lesions and recurrences have been treated with a variety of different antineoplastic drugs. There is no consistently effective regimen in these patients, although complete responses have been reported anecdotally in patients treated with a single alkylating agent, cyclophosphamide or melphalan, as well as those treated with combinations, VAC (vincristine, Adriamycin, cyclophosphamide) and PAC (cisplatin, Adriamycin, cyclophosphamide). The AcFuCy regimen (actinomycin D, 5-fluorouracil, and cyclophosphamide) has been used by the GOG and has been associated with approximately a 20% response rate. The use of hormonal agents, such as progestins or antiestrogens, has been suggested, but there are no data available.
Granulosa cell tumors have a prolonged natural history and a tendency for late relapse, reflecting their low grade. As such, 10-year survivals of about 90% have been reported, with 20-year survivals of 75%. Most histologic types have the same prognosis, but the more poorly differentiated diffuse or sarcomatoid type tends to do worse.
The DNA ploidy of the tumors has been correlated with survival. Holland and colleagues reported DNA aneuploidy in 13 of 37 patients (35%) with primary granulosa cell tumors. The presence of residual disease was found to be the most important predictor of progression-free survival, but DNA ploidy was an independent prognostic factor. Patients with no residual disease and DNA diploid tumors had a 10-year progression-free survival of 96%.
Sertoli-Leydig Cell Tumors. This group of tumors occurs most frequently in the third and fourth decades, with 75% of the lesions seen in women younger than 40 years. They are rare, representing less than 0.2% of ovarian cancers. Sertoli-Leydig cell tumors are usually low-grade malignancies, although a poorly differentiated variety may behave more aggressively.
The tumors typically produce androgens, and clinical virilization is noted in 70% to 85% of patients. Signs of virilization include oligomenorrhea, amenorrhea, breast atrophy, acne, hirsutism, clitoromegaly, a deepening voice, and a receding hairline. Measurement of plasma androgens may reveal an elevated testosterone and androstenedione, with normal or slightly elevated dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate.2 Rarely, the Sertoli-Leydig tumor can be associated with manifestations of estrogenization, such as, isosexual precocity or irregular or postmenopausal bleeding.
Because these low-grade lesions are only rarely bilateral (under 1%), the usual treatment for patients in their reproductive years is a unilateral oophorectomy or salpingo-oophorectomy and evaluation of the contralateral ovary. In older patients for whom fertility is not an issue, the performance of a hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy is appropriate. There are insufficient data to document the value of radiation or chemotherapy in patients with persistent disease, but some responses in those with measurable disease have been reported with pelvic radiation and the VAC chemotherapy regimen. The 5-year survival is 70% to 90%, and recurrences thereafter are uncommon. Poorly differentiated lesions account for the majority of fatalities.

Stephen A. Smith crafts a very smart reply to Conor McGregor's 'Apologize!' comment
Former UFC champion Conor McGregor and ESPN analyst Stephen A Smith got into a twitter banter last week. Conor McGregor knocked out Donald Cerrone in just 40-seconds at UFC 246.
Following this, Smith was present at the Arena alongside UFC commentator Joe Rogan talking about the fight. Smith bashed Cerrone during the post-fight show and said that he "quite disgusted" by Cerrone's performance. He went as far as saying "it look like he gave up".
Joe Rogan then went on a rant against Stephen A Smith on his podcast called 'Joe Rogan Experience'.
"With fighting, you have to know it, or no one's going to respect you," he said. "If you don't know what you're talking about and you're talking about it in front of millions of people, man that's a bad look for everybody. It's a bad look for ESPN, it's a bad look for him, it's a bad look for the sport. It's like … there's other people that can do this.
"There's a lot of currency in being a Stephen A. Smith, you know? He's really entertaining. The s–t-talking that he does …. he's a guy that's fun to watch. He talks a lot of s–t and he gets real loud and everybody disagrees with him. Look, it's made him a fantastic career. That's why, and he carries that over to MMA. I think it's a bad idea."
Stephen A Smith says Joe Rogan was wrong
After this, Smith took to Twitter where he posted a 3-minute 30-second video and said that Joe Rogan was just wrong.
You're wrong on this one, @joerogan. pic.twitter.com/eU140zXlcW
— Stephen A Smith (@stephenasmith) January 26, 2020
"I don't claim to be the aficionado you are or anybody else covering the sport," he said. "But excuse me? I have been a reporter for 25 years; I have covered sports on a variety of competitive levels regardless of what the sport is. That includes boxing and the UFC.
"It don't take much to look at three shoulder shots to the nose that Conor McGregor gave 'Cowboy' Cerrone, watching him fold inside of 20 seconds, knowing that he only got one strike off, and oh, by the way, that was blocked by Conor.
"Conor McGregor did not get the opportunity to show us enough. For us to believe Nurmagomedov or Masvidal, that's something that could potentially happen to them. I didn't see it, because 'Cowboy' Cerrone, in his first pay-per-view match, folded. I respect him, but he folded like a cheap tent. Period. Bad night for him. Bad night. That's all. And I stand by that. And I'm going to still stand by that." (H/T – NYPOST)
This attracted a reply from Conor McGregor where he essentially told Stephen A Smith to apologise to Donald Cerrone.
The call you discuss here is A+. I didn't show enough. I'm not paid by the hour though. Joe's comments however, come from you saying the opposition fighter quit. Broken nose/orbital bone say different. Fighting is vicious. Those who make the walk deserve full respect!
Apologise.
— Conor McGregor (@TheNotoriousMMA) January 26, 2020
"The call you discuss here is A+," McGregor wrote on Twitter. "I didn't show enough. I'm not paid by the hour though. Joe's comments, however, come from you saying the opposition fighter quit. Broken nose/orbital bone say different. Fighting is vicious. Those who make the walk deserve full respect! Apologize.
Stephen A Smith doesn't plan on apologising
However, it looks like Stephen A Smith has no plans of apologising as he showed it to his carefully crafted message to Conor McGregor on Twitter.
Sir, mich respect to the great @TheNotoriousMMA. My recollection on what I said is "That's the way it looked." Cowboy Cerrone is a perennial top-10 fighter. Much respect to him for the lengthy career he has had. Wishing him nothing but the best. But I don't think it's unfair to..
say that more than 40-seconds was expected from as tough of an SOB as he is, @TheNotoriousMMA. Nor do I think it's wrong to assume that there's no way that's 40-second fight would take place w/ you vs Nurmegamedov or Masvidal. We expected more than what we got. Props to YOU for..
that. But to know how tough Cowboy is, lots of fans like myself expected more and I don't think @joerogan is right to question my knowledge about a fight just because I wasn't satisfied with what I saw. I said what I said and I meant it. It's possible to do that and still have…
Tremendous respect for you @TheNotoriousMMA, along with @joerogan. Both of you are fantastic for the @UFC. I wouldn't enjoy it nearly as much without the both of you. I wish you both prosperity in the future. But we clearly disagree about Cowboy's performance on Jan.18.#RESPECT
Meanwhile, with ESPN's deal with UFC just starting and Smith signing a five-year deal with the network, expect more of Smith on major UFC broadcast.
On the other hand, Donald Cerrone hasn't spoken anything about the ongoing situation.

We all need to start performing
Tosin Adarabioyo has been looking ahead to this weekend's away game against Sheffield Wednesday
Rovers defender Tosin Adarabioyo has challenged every member of the team to step up and earn a return to winning ways.
Adarabioyo, who is on a season-long loan deal from Manchester City, scored a first ever goal against the Owls when the Yorkshire side visited Ewood Park earlier in the season.
He's hoping lightning will strike twice when the two teams meet again this weekend, with the dramatic victory over Garry Monk's side back in November kickstarting an excellent run of results that saw Rovers pick up five wins in the seven outings that followed.
And whilst Rovers have stuttered in recent games, the 22-year-old is certain that Rovers can get back to picking up three points on a regular basis.
"Things haven't gone our way of late and we've conceded some rubbish goals," he admitted honestly ahead of the trip to Hillsborough.
"Hopefully we can get back to where we were before Christmas.
"Bradley Dack's a big miss because he is one of the star players at this club, but we know we have the quality to replace that. People need to start performing and we need to get results as a team.
"We felt we did enough to get all three points last week, but it wasn't to be. The league can flip at any moment. It's about us going on a run of wins and get ourselves up towards the top of the table.
"I got a grasp of the league with West Bromwich Albion last season, playing at right back. I'm playing in my favoured position here and I feel I know all about the league," he added when comparing this term to last.
"I still think I can work on the defensive side of the game, conceding less goals, keeping clean sheets and cutting out the mistakes.
"They are a tough team to play against. They're good on the counter attack and have players that can run at us and hurt us."

New article by Professor Andrew Clapham in the International Law Studies journal on Detention by Armed Groups under International Law. The article tackles the question of whether international law entitles armed groups to detain people, as well as the separate question of what international law obligations bind the armed group when persons are detained. The focus is on the obligations that relate to the right to challenge the basis for any such detention, although some attention is given to issues of fair trial and the question of punishment. The article ends by considering the legal framework governing responsibility for States and those that assist armed groups. State responsibility questions relating to attribution and assistance are considered, as are the separate rules which would determine the criminal responsibility of accomplices who could be prosecuted.


Very friendly and knowledgeable internal employees in IT and very good and professional enterprise architect .
Poor and unprofessional second level management . Try to avoid any business with Manager - consultant D.C. Person seem don't have even basic skills on managing the stuff and very uncomfortable when you asked questions , trying to avoid direct contact/communication . Don't have basic soft skills and only got consultant position because of some relations inside the company. Always trying to hide and speak thru other people .
I woul advice to CEO to review manager skills and professionalism before putting in that position. Internal stuff suffering from D.C. management, heard and was witness of his management . Manager consultant did not show any respect and treat people as sheeps. Do internal surveys to obtaine information about managers from staff confidentially and act appropriately.
"Terrible culture. Come here if you want your career to stall and like be treated like a nobody"
