El Steglitz Kreisel es un rascacielos de 120 metros de altura que forma parte de un conjunto de edificios de gran altura, localizado en el distrito de Berlín, Steglitz.

El Steglitz Kreisel se construyó con una inversión para Berlín occidental. La idea era crear una competencia al centro Kurfürstendamm. En 1968 se inició el proyecto, 1972 ocurrieron los primeros problemas surgidos por la financiación, que estaba criticada duramente. Críticas dirigidas contra el gobierno de Steglitz y en contra de la empresa constructora que realizaba el proyecto. En 1973 la empresa constructora se declaró insolvente y en 1974 el proyecto en su totalidad estaba en bancarrota. El senado de la zona occidental de Berlín perdió 40 millones de marcos alemanes.

En 1980 se trasladó la administración del distrito Steglitz a la torre. El edificio está formado por asbesto y debe ser descontaminado. Además de la administración del distrito, el edificio cuenta con: restaurantes, tiendas, una parada de autobús y está conectado a la estación del metro de Berlín Berlín Rathaus Steglitz que se conecta con el ayuntamiento por la línea 1.

Actualidad y Futuro
El 27 de junio de 2006, el Senado de Berlín decidió renunciar a la torre de oficinas y trasladar al personal que trabaja allí a Steglitz-Zehlendorf, una oficina propiedad del estado en otro distrito de la capital. El 23 de noviembre de 2007 la torre fue desocupada, Los trabajos de renovación deberían haber comenzado en 2009, después de que la gestión financiera de Berlín hubiese intentado vender el edificio sin éxito y no reformarlo. No está claro si se seguirá haciendo uso del edificio; se dijo que otra opción aparte de la venta a inversionistas privados sería una demolición, pero no es cierto, sin embargo, creó mucha controversia en la opinión pública.

En 2010, el Senado consideró, junto con Becker & Kries, volver a poner en venta al edificio. El costo de la eliminación del problema de la contaminación del asbesto se estima en este momento en 31,2 millones de euros.

El 11 de noviembre de 2010 se dio a conocer que hay dos compradores: uno de ellos quiere el edificio remodelado y el otro se haría cargo de la remodelación por su propia cuenta. El 11 de agosto de 2011 el periódico Berliner Zeitung informó sobre la remodelación del Steglitzer Kreisel lo siguiente: "comenzará el próximo verano y se completará en el primer semestre de 2015". En una primera etapa la empresa que lo gestiona selecciona mediante una convocatoria general a un contratista que se encargará de la renovación. No se sabe nada de lo que ocurrirá después de la renovación.

We can create a beautiful twilight-style shot from a standard daytime photo. We'll add a stunning sunset sky, fix the grass where needed, and make it look like the lights are on inside the home. The entire image is then color-graded to match the tones and colors from a sunset sky to complete the effect. A great way to stand out on the MLS!


These guys are not taking their orders from the president, or any legitimate representative of the president, or the congress, or the judiciary. Capisce?
Still, Chuck Schumer advises us to leave 'em alone.
I guess he thinks it's better to be executioners for them than their targets. I don't.

Attorney claims eviction cases favor landlord
By: ABC57 Staff
Posted: Mar 14, 2013 8:26 PM EST | Updated: Nov 5, 2014 9:03 PM EST
ST JOSEPH COUNTY, Ind. -- Local attorney Kent Hull is taking aim at local judges claiming the magistrates are not conducting eviction hearings properly in St. Joseph County Superior Court.
"The way the eviction process works in small claims court here in St Joseph County, is much to the benefit of landlords and much to the detriment of tenants," said Hull.
Hull says the magistrates are short-changing the tenants.
"Whether or not the tenant owes rent, at least in the view of the landlord," said Hull.
He says the magistrates are not interested in hearing any factors that may have led to the owed rent and he feels that is illegal.
"The Indiana Supreme Court has said that in an immediate possession hearing the tenant should be allowed to present any and all legal and equitable defenses," said Hull.
Hull is referring to 2008 Indiana Supreme Court ruling. It says statements by a St. Joseph County judge showed inattention to the tenant's defenses.
To see if this was still happening today, we sat in on the first few eviction hearings Thursday morning.
In one of them, the tenant was behind in rent, and tried to tell the judge there were repairs that needed to be done to the property that were being neglected.
The judge did not want to hear about that, instead he told the tenant they could file a counter claim, something she had no idea about.
After explaining what a counter claim was, he ruled the landlord could take immediate possession of the property.
The tenant said afterwards that the leasing agent moved her into a home that was not ready to be lived in.
Hull says this kind of defense should have been allowed.
We contacted Superior Court Judge David Chapleau to ask him about what we witnessed Thursday. He was concerned enough to want to look into it more, and said they want to make sure everyone is following the law.

This composite includes the four largest moons of Jupiter which are known as the Galilean satellites. The Galilean satellites were first seen by the Italian astronomer Galileo Galilei in 1610. Shown from left to right in order of increasing distance from Jupiter, Io is closest, followed by Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto.
The order of these satellites from the planet Jupiter helps to explain some of the visible differences among the moons. Io is subject to the strongest tidal stresses from the massive planet. These stresses generate internal heating which is released at the surface and makes Io the most volcanically active body in our solar system. Europa appears to be strongly differentiated with a rock/iron core, an ice layer at its surface, and the potential for local or global zones of water between these layers. Tectonic resurfacing brightens terrain on the less active and partially differentiated moon Ganymede. Callisto, furthest from Jupiter, appears heavily cratered at low resolutions and shows no evidence of internal activity.
North is to the top of this composite picture in which these satellites have all been scaled to a common factor of 10 kilometers (6 miles) per picture element.
The Solid State Imaging (CCD) system aboard NASA's Galileo spacecraft acquired the Io and Ganymede images in June 1996, the Europa images in September 1996, and the Callisto images in November 1997.
Launched in October 1989, the spacecraft's mission is to conduct detailed studies of the giant planet, its largest moons and the Jovian magnetic environment.

Viktor Koenen (Deckname: Stafford; * 21. Januar 1920 in Merseburg; † 1942) war ein deutscher Widerstandskämpfer gegen das NS-Regime.

Leben
Koenen, Sohn des KPD-Funktionärs Bernard Koenen, besuchte die Grundschule in Merseburg. Als er 13 Jahre alt war, wurde sein Vater beim Eisleber Blutsonntag (12. Februar 1933) von der SA brutal zusammengeschlagen und so schwer verletzt, dass er ein Auge verlor. Die nächsten Monate versteckte sich der steckbrieflich gesuchte Vater bei einem mit der KPD sympathisierenden, jüdischen Arzt in Leipzig und wurde in dessen Privatklinik behandelt. Auch die Familie Koenen musste untertauchen. Viktor Koenen wurde dabei von seiner Mutter Frieda und von seinem Bruder Alfred getrennt. Alle drei wurden an unterschiedlichen Orten versteckt. Im Juni 1933 konnte Viktor Koenen zusammen mit seiner Mutter und seinem Bruder und ausgestattet mit falschen Papieren in die Sowjetunion emigrieren. Hier traf er auch seinen Vater wieder.

Viktor Koenen besuchte die Karl-Liebknecht-Schule in Moskau. Er war Mitglied in der Pionierorganisation und im Komsomol. Ab Juni 1937 erlernte er im Moskauer Stalin-Autowerk den Beruf des Werkzeugschlossers.

Nach dem Überfall der deutschen Wehrmacht auf die Sowjetunion am 22. Juni 1941 meldete er sich zusammen mit seinem Bruder freiwillig zur Roten Armee. Im Winter 1941 nahm er an der Verteidigung von Moskau teil. Er war zeitweise an der Front und bei Partisanen bzw. in Moskau eingesetzt. Zeitweise arbeitete er auch als Militärdolmetscher in der Siebten Abteilung der Politischen
Hauptverwaltung der Roten Armee.

Viktor Koenen kämpfte später in einer Aufklärungsgruppe von Fallschirmjägern. Er wurde während eines Streifzuges im feindlichen Hinterland zusammen mit polnischen Partisanen gefangen genommen und ermordet. Andere Quellen besagen, dass sein Flugzeug über Polen abgeschossen wurde und keiner der Insassen überlebte.

Ehrungen
 Nach ihm war zu Zeiten der DDR die POS "Viktor Koenen" in Merseburg-Süd benannt.

"Avengers: Infinity War " is indeed a success made fans surprised at the present end of the story that is totally unexpected. As is known, the ending of the movie was filmed in Anthony and Joe Russo gives the funeral mass because of the gradual most favorite superhero fans.
Talking about it, apparently the end of the story's "Avengers: Infinity War " is still a warm reviews the fans until now. Many fans say that the end of the film so hang and dark. Especially considering most of the population of the universe destroyed by Thanos (Josh Brolin) only with menjetikkan digits, including a number of superheroes.
Of course, the fans still curious criteria "victim's" chosen by Thanos. Remember not just the characters "vanished's", but also important figures like a Black Panther.
Therefore, it is not a few fans who suspect if Thanos chose his victim at random. But who would have thought, apparently Anthony and Joe Russo as the Director claimed that the decision to eliminate a number of Thanos that superheroes have their own reasons.
Reported by the Comic Book on Wednesday (1/8), recently Anthony and Joe Russo reveals how Thanos chose "prey ". Apparently, the Director for directing duo's series "The Avengers " it mentions that they deliberately omit characters that have a special relationship with the main character, i.e. the core team the Avengers.
"In this case, we have to determine who will be the victim of Thanos. The point is how we can eliminate characters who have a relationship that is deep, "says Anthony.
Anthony Russo gives the example of Bucky Barnes character played by Sebastian Stan. In the "Avengers: Infinity War ", the character who got the nickname Winter Soldier is gone first rather than the other. The election's "destroyed " his character Bucky is due to an emotional attachment which he had with Captain America (Chris Evans).
"Is the first to go is Bucky Barnes and was taken from the perspective of Captain America, " continued Anthony. "Cap and Bucky already themed well even long before this all happened. We can see the expression of the emotion-filled Stamp when Bucky is slowly becoming the ashes. "
Then Anthony explained the puzzle of why the main characters such as Black Panther (Chadwick Boseman) is also a victim of the behavior of Thanos. Apparently, it is closely related with the main task of which is run by Okoye (Danai Gurira).
"We could also look at Okoye, where number one mission in life is to protect the King. Here he saw the King of Wakanda that seharunya he protect also went before him, "imbuh Anthony.
As it turns out, the creative team's "Avengers: Infinity War " it wants to emphasize all the right aspect of the last moments of the film to make sure the audience felt it emotionally. "When Thanos appeared, we really want to make this moment is the most powerful susuatu, " says producer Trinh Tran.
Interestingly, the production team deliberately did not tell the cast related to what will happen in the last fight at the scene were taken to Wakanda. "We have collected the entire crew and they surround the Director. Here they will be notified that this scene would happen and some of them will disappear, "says Joe.
Of course it is done for the sake of keeping the secret of the film from public meltdowns. "The audience is very good at predicting the story even if they have little clue about it. So, we work very hard to make sure there are no secrets of the film was leaked, "continued Joe.
Not be denied if the strategy planned by Director duo is indeed successful fishing sense of emotional fans. Let alone a peak moment in which Spiderman (Tom Holland) disappears in Hugs Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.).
Nevertheless, a number of Parties thus calls this strategy backfire for Marvel Studios. Because, this is said to make the ending of the movie was filmed in Anthony and Joe Russo was not able to survive long at the top of the box office.
As it is known, the third series "The Avengers " is only able to survive for three weeks in a row in the first rank. Of course this result is a little disappointing, given the enthusiasm of the fans towards "Avengers: Infinity War " is so great. Moreover, this achievement is inversely proportional to "Black Panther " that is able to dominate the box office for five weeks and stayed in the top 10 until the 11th week of impressions.


In Episode 76 of Far From Finished, Thomas talks about how writing everyday became a way to look at his past. While doing that, he learned to take apart the idea of himself as a monster. He started to see the good side of who he had always been. Writing became a way of not just delving into his own addiction but sharing it.
Thomas grew up as a very sensitive kid. He was very bookish as well as an introvert. He believed that he was an addict from day one. He was always using something to self-medicate and calm himself down — whether it was retreating from the world or getting lost in books. When he found drugs and alcohol he felt fun, easy and very effective. Addiction for him was built on a false persona. His addiction had isolated him to the point that he felt his spirit was hanging on by a tiny thread. Thomas had hit rock bottom and started to make plans to end his life.
Thomas will never forget being on a beach and hearing a phrase from someone that made him decide to call a suicide hotline instead of ending his life. Thomas believes the day on the beach was the day his old life died. He had a second chance. Thomas ended up in rehab, where it became an life changing experience. There he learned to get up, meditate and make a gratitude list. Thomas reminded himself of all the good things in life and it's possibilities. Each day in treatment turned into an adventure in living.
Thomas didn't have any expectations for life when he was using. He didn't even think he would survive. Today, Thomas lives a life that is completely free and open. He believes that underneath the drugs and alcohol is a beautiful soul that he can always come back to.
