At NetZero Insulation, we have been providing the Littleton, CO, and Denver metro area with insulation removal and related services for more than 26 years. Our staff loves to educate homeowners on the benefits of making upgrades to their insulation, ensuring they always feel comfortable with the work we will be doing in their attics or other parts of their houses and with the cost of attic insulation removal.
If you have had a problem with animals in your attic, or recently have noticed that your home is not as comfortable as it used to be, you might need to consider hiring a company to inspect your house's insulation.
After we conduct our investigation, we might determine that it is necessary to remove the existing insulation. Squirrels, mice, and other rodents can wreak havoc in the attic and even in the walls. Besides the obvious health concerns due to the urine and feces the rodents may leave behind, they can compress the insulation by as much as 90%. This effectively renders the insulation completely useless.
Moisture is another common problem we find in attics. Homes with poor attic ventilation and higher-than-average humidity levels will often suffer from moisture problems. One way NetZero Insulation can help you with this problem is by air sealing the attic. This will prevent future issues. To handle your current situation, we will do attic insulation removal.
The reason moisture has such a negative impact on your insulation is because it behaves in relation to your home's construction. As moisture from the outside air travels through the penetrations in the ceiling, it will condense on the roof sheathing during colder temperatures. If enough moisture condenses, it will freeze overnight and then drip down over the insulation when the sun comes out in the morning. Cellulose, which is made from paper, cannot become wet without it becoming damaged. Also, the older type of fiberglass insulation contains formaldehyde and other chemical binders. When wet, these chemicals can leach out into the surrounding areas. This leaching can be harmful not only to other parts of your home, but it can also create health complications for you and your family.
Lastly, we sometimes remove insulation to better gain access for air sealing, which can ultimately save you money. If you have a leaky attic or walls, you may be paying to heat and cool the outdoors, not to mention letting noise and pollutants inside. Depending on the depth of the current insulation, roof pitch, and access, removing the old, dirty insulation allows 100% access to all areas. Having a "clean slate" so to speak ensures nothing is missed during the air sealing process.
We will often remove insulation prior to remodeling work beginning, especially when the home is occupied during the remodel. It makes it much easier for the different trades to work in the attic and they are not tracking the insulation back into the home.

Blackpool Rox II
'Taken from issues of Blackpool Rox II fanzine'
Daisies for the Galaxy C.D. (Some big label)
Mellower than their / his last album ,not as good but still worth acquiring. This guy E did a session on Xfm a month or so ago and he is way out there with a really varied musical taste. He has a really haunting voice too. 6/10
Minister of Order and Reason
If All Else Fails C.D. (Epitaph / Fat Wreck)
As soon as the first track "You're never gonna win if you marry a girl from Marin" was underway I knew my purchase was worthwhile. I got this band's first album (eponymously "Bracket") about 4 years ago which scored 6/10 ,their track on Short Music for Short People (101 punk compilation tracks "Fat Wreck) scored 8/10 but this gets a resounding 9/10. Fast chunky but really melodic ,one of the best vocalists around in my humble opinion. Tracks 1 and 3 rock big time by the way.
Based On a True Story C.D. (Deep Elm)
This is my favourite album so far this year ,it rocks !! I would say it is more varied than "Never Mind" (Nirvana) and the best release to date on probably the best label around. Now that is some going as this label boasts the likes of Camber, Brandston and the once amazing Starmarket. This 7 track debut album is absolutely amazing .. buy it either from www.alans.co.uk or www.deep.elm.com " you will not be disappointed it gets 10/10 and that's not only from me but everyone I've played it at. Minister of Order and Reason
Numb Nuts C.D. (Deceptive)
Not many of you will know that the mighty Snuff played with the Blaggers at the Tache in Blackpool under the name "Guns and Wankers" .. I say this as only 50 people turned up .. and they were excellent so more fool you !!! This is a good solid album (as you would expect) and the first track "Pixies" (about the Freemasons) is great. Prolific for over 10 years now, yet still humorous and original , I give it 7.5/10 and doff my cap to one of the top 5 British bands of the nineties.
Calendar C.D and Four Hours Light C.D. (Deep Elm)
Two reviews in one here, both on the DeepElm label and by the Swedish band Starmarket. The reason for reviewing both is that one gets 10 out of 10 and one gets no more than 3 out of 10. The Calendar CD is amazing. Excellent thoughtful lyrics, superb vocals, top production and great songs make this an absolute must. Then there comes "Four Hours Light" which they describe as a New Dimensional Sound. Far poppier, excessive digital production and the songs bar one ar two just aren't there. I was so disappointed with this release ,I had ordered it direct from Deep Elm (www.deepelm.com ) on the day of release because I was so keen to get a copy. I'm sure they will still produce the goods when it is right for them .. and you'll all go a long way to hear something better than Calendar.
Automatic Midnight C.D.
Not quite sure on this one. My friends Sean, Spig and Alan are all raving about it but to be honest I am not. Don't get me wrong it's not bad, but it's not strumming my vital chords ? I don't know if this has anything to do with the fact that it arrived in the same consignment as the next C.D. I will review (thus it was relatively weak) or just that the scuzzyness thing is not my thang ?? I have loaned this out so I can't remember the label, but it's Speedo from Rocket From the Crypt on guitar and Drive Like Jehu it's in a red case ,anyhow 5/10, but I promise to listen to it a few more times.
Horsebox C.D. (BYO)
After the last release a split with Hot Water Music you can see England's finest song writing son is still as good as ever. This varied CD has 14 tracks. Looks like Frankie is sharing the writing with his new band members, as they feature in the individual songwriting credits.Track 2 Evo Pop is my favourite and their rendition of the Nick Cave Ship Song is terrific ,even Cyndie Lauper's True Colours gets a good hammering. Gutsy, gravelly and great. We need to have this band back in our town soon ,the best British band of the last 10 years 8.5/10.
Nothing Feels Good CD (Jade Tree)
Formed by guys from Cap'n Jazz ,this is awesome. Melodic and really interesting lyrics, good production and good songs. Their address is Wisconsin which I like as it makes a change to New York and California. The best tracks are the opener Delaware and number 11 Jesus Was A Fisherman. Again a favourite of Alans and I give this 9/10.
A Tribute to The Ruts : Compilation C.D. (Rejected)
I played this at Kez's indoor camping party a few Saturday's ago and everyone liked it. There are a lot of these compilations around these days, and this is one of the best. Features tracks from Wat Tyler, Red Alert and Travis Cut amongst others. 16 tracks ,my personal favourites off this being Red Alert's version of Shine On Me and Travis Cut's version of In A Rut.There's actually a badge embedded in the crystal case .. I have not seen that before .. looks good. Real neat packaging from this good Irish label (hello there !) .. neat sleeve notes from Jon Active (Hi Jon) outlining his personal love affair with this awesome band back in the late 70's leading upto Malcolm Owen's premature departure from this earthly realm in July 1990 (RIP) .. When I read these words I felt very sad. Good and worthy project, well executed 7.5/10
Power of the letter A
This will become available with Issue Two and will carry all our favourite bands beginning with the "Letter A" ,and be entitled the "Power of The Letter A" ,you'll have to get your seatbelt on for ATV/Adicts/ANL (Vendor)/Alan Ginsberg/Appleseed Cast/ Appleorchard/ Anthrax/ Amebix etc. Future copies will have compilation tapes based on other letters of the alphabet ,the next but one will probably be B, but who knows I might just mix it up to keep you on your toes .. don't know what I'll do when I get to X ???? The idea here is that you send me a blank tape and SAE and I then run off a copy for you ,good idea or what ??? (Repeat —- "Yes Minster of Order and Reason that is a good idea" 5 times).

ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT
Economic growth is expected to remain above the 4% level in 2019-2021, and will therefore continue to improve. In particular, economic growth should be 4.3% in 2019 by 4.4% in 2020 and 4.5% in 2021. Positive rates will be mainly supported by domestic demand, both in terms of private consumption and of investments, although net foreign demand should have a positive but marginal effect. The medium-term final consumption (2019-2021) is expected to increase in real terms by around 3.1% per year, contributing on average to 2.8 percentage points per year to the increase in GDP. While the total investment in the economy will grow in real terms on average by 5.6% per year, with a slight acceleration in 2021, where the average contribution will be around 1.5 percentage points per year. The forecasts of the World Bank (WB) and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) are more moderate but still positive. Both have revised their forecasts downwards for 2019 (3.6% and 3.7% respectively) and in 2020 (3.5% and 3.9% respectively), with the conclusion of the TAP and construction works Devolli hydroelectric plant. In the III-T of 2018, the flow of FDI amounted to USD 234,154 million. This is mainly attributable to the electricity and gas sectors, which benefited from the construction of an important hydroelectric power station in the south-east of the country and above all from work on the TAP gas pipeline. In this regard, the IMF and the World Bank have called for diversification of investments into other sectors, such as services. Public debt remains at alarming levels (the latest estimates make it stand at 63.5% of GDP at the end of 2018), despite the fact that the long-term program drawn up by the Ministry of Finance establishes that by 2020 it must go down to below the 60% share of GDP. To achieve this goal, the Authorities agreed with the IMF to reach a primary balance of 0.7% of GDP in 2017. The level of unemployment also remains high (12.2%), although with a declining trend. On the other hand, the average inflation rate remained at decidedly contained levels in 2018 (+ 1.8%), while the depreciation of the Euro is worried, having reached the all-time low of the decade in December 2018, reaching 122 Lek. On the foreign trade front, according to INSTAT data for the whole of 2018, Italy is by far the main partner of Albania with a 34% share. In terms of global trade balance, also in 2018 the EIU data foreshadow a heavy negative balance (-2.67 billion dollars), a deficit that is increasingly becoming of a structural nature. In overall, the country enjoys a stable macroeconomic situation, supported by a banking and financial market that has shown solidity and the ability to withstand the international crisis.

I have a SDI like application (developed using UPP) that has a menu and in it client are there is the main data where user makes their work. This application has lots of dialogs that are opened, using the main menu, in a modal fashion.
Now the user doesn�t like the windows default colors and want to customize every color in every control (grids, labels, edits, etc) in all dialogs, including the client are of the main window.
Mirek had helped me in colorization (thank you again) of controls and the main Windows client are ready and sesnitive to colors stored in a binary file (windows background, label forecolor, edits textcolor, etc). Now I have to apply this to all modal dialogs too when they are invoked.
I know that C++ has means to make this without code copy-past, say, by deriving classes but has I don�t have enough skills for that I would like to ask you the best way to do that.
Hence, all dialogs must store and be sensitive to the selected colors for background, labels and text on edit controls and on painting time the dialogs must paint using the selected colors.
and the CColoringSystem will store all needed colors and the paint of the CChangeUnitsDlg will paint every control 1 by one using the colors in the CColoringSystem class.
It doesn't work like that, Ctrls are respoionsible for drawing themselves.
1- If you want to set colours globally (for all EditCtrls say) you can use EditField::StyleDefault().Write(). You can also do things like SColorFace_Write(Red()) to replace a particular colour.
2- If you need individual colouring for different ctrls of the same type (like username EditString is red, password is Blue) then you are going to have to do something more complicated. Unless you hard-code it this is going to be difficult to do, but possible.
One way would be to use your own version of the Layout macro that creates a string table from a .lay file and then use the table to read styling values from an Xml file. Or something.
Yes I want to change the colors for all controls of the same type.
Any simple code snipet for global edit or lable change?
But compiler says that i have to assign SetStyle to one object. So, I am confused. Can we set the global style or do I have to set control by control style?
You can do both. To set it for a single ctrl you use SetStyle, which overrides StyleDefault() (which may be called something else on some ctrls).
Incidentally, if you are going to set the style for a single ctrl you need to make sure that the Style instance you are using doesn't run out of scope (or gets deleted) before the Ctrl does. This is because the Ctrl stores a pointer to the Style internally (this is a pretty contrary to Upp style IMO. C'est la vie).

I'M BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!! Words can't even express what it feels like to get back to a sense of normality, y'all! I'm attempting to get my ducks in a row to start blogging full time again since I took a much needed 6 week break to get my baby lovin' on. It sort of completely rocked my socks off! Being a mom is the absolute best and I am so thrilled to share some of that journey with y'all.
But let's talk less baby and more boho. This is a look I've just recently become accustomed to wearing, I shared a favorite boho look of mine last week. As a new mom I'm still trying to figure out a schedule and getting ready is a challenge most days so I started going for this shabby/chic way of dressing to trick people into thinking I look put together when in reality I did minimal work possible to get ready. I guess that's a long way of saying what I think when I hear the term, "boho".
Not only am I crushing on Jana's shoes, but I'm crushing even more on her belly button peeking through! Adorable! And Ann has me swooning over her home decor. Her photo looks like something out of a magazine. Go see their adorable boho details.
Check out our May themes and be sure to join us for any or all of them that intrique you. Don't be afraid to step out of your comfort zone.

Im totally crushing on YOUR heels! :) I've been on the hunt for those at my Target but haven't been able to find them! They've been out of stock in my size forever. Love this look on you girl, gorgeous!
Your romper may not be nursing friendly but it is so cute! And I also love the shoes!
I'm always a big romper fan, and you are totally rocking this one! Love how you paired it with that flowy sweater!
Loving your romper, makes me want one! I bought one the end of last season, I'm excited to bring it out this summer :) You look great!
Welcome back, friend! Loving that romper and long cardi on you.
You have been looking so fine Mommy Meagan. Loe the black romper - I need a black one myself and your kimono and sandals are so pretty and perfectly complete this boho look. Will be linking up in a little bit. Hope you like my Boho Look today.
i adore those heels!!!!! welcome back!!
Despite not being nursing friendly - that romper is ADORABLE! I still haven't found one that fits my oddly long torso yet... no one wants a romper wedgie lol.
What a gorgeous look! That long cardi goes perfectly with the short romper. Bummer that it wasn't nursing friendly. So happy to have you back, but I'm glad you got a much needed break in to spend time with your sweet new family.
So good to hear you're stepping into a sense of routine with your little man, and btw - I am totally going all-out boho the day we become parents over here; in fact, I may never wear jeans agaaaaaain. Way to rock a totally elegant boho vibe Maegen!
You are glowing pretty lady!! Totally laughing at the breast-feeding/romper comment. Going to the bathroom is hard - I can't imagine nursing!! One of those situations you just have to laugh at yourself during!! Soooo glad to have you back to blog-land!
I also think side satchel as well.
Loving your outfit! I used to absolutely despise rompers until I tried one on. They're amazing! And so comfortable! Loved the satchel too!

In May 2006 I was appointed as the art consultant to work with the BSF team. I worked with ten schools from the Gateshead & South Tyneside region, some were new builds & others to be refurbished. The information gathered from the pupils & stakeholders from the schools was used to improve the final design for each school.
Below are models of how the pupils would remodel an area within their school, & how they would like it to look. Colour, design, impact on learning & practicality were all considered.
To involve a cross section of children at each school in the process of identifying what is good and bad about their existing school, and how these problems can be solved through a series of interactive workshops, discussions and visits to inspirational buildings & environments.
The information gathered from the workshops will highlight what needs to be changed within the school to make it a better place for everyone who uses it. It will also provide a range of innovative solutions to the problems raised. These will all feed into the exemplar design model that will be used to develop all the secondary schools in South Tyneside & Gateshead.

Severe red ashlar budget school, with sparse Art Nouveau decoration. Standard plan of classrooms stacked above the central hall, cloakrooms at the ends, beyond the pair of glittering glass staircase towers, one each for the girls and boys. Like the stairtowers, evocative of the Loire chateaux which influenced many Scottish castles, the dramatic west gable (the east is now hidden) demonstrates Mackintosh's fascination with Scots Renaissance domestic architecture, as used at the Hill House in 1902 and more famously at the Glasgow School of Art, 1907. The swept-down roof of the Janitor's House, like Windyhill in 1900, is a Voysey device (see Central Glasgow, North Cylde Estuary and South Clyde Estuary Guides). Converted to Museum, 1990s.

Il volo Ural Airlines 178 è stato un volo di linea passeggeri da Mosca, in Russia, a Simferopoli, in Crimea. Il 15 agosto 2019, un Airbus A321-200 operante il servizio ha subito un impatto con volatili appena dopo il decollo dalla capitale russa ed è atterrato in un campo di grano a pochi chilometri dall'aeroporto. 29 persone rimasero ferite, ma non ci sono state vittime.

L'aereo
Il velivolo coinvolto nell'incidente era un Airbus A321-211, registrato nelle Bermuda VQ-BOZ. Venne costruito nel 2003 e consegnato a Turkish Airlines come TC-KTD. Operò quindi per AtlasGlobal come TC-ETR nel 2010, e per Solaris Airlines nel 2011 come EI-ERU prima di essere consegnato a Ural Airlines nel 2011 in fase di ri-registrazione. L'aereo rimase danneggiato irreparabilmente nell'incidente.

L'equipaggio
Il pilota al comando era il 41enne Damir Yusupov, laureato alla scuola di volo dell'aviazione civile di Buguruslan, in Russia, nel 2013. Aveva conseguito anche una laurea in navigazione aerea presso l'Istituto di aviazione civile di Ulyanovsk, in Russia. Al momento dell'incidente, aveva oltre  ore di esperienza di volo.

Il copilota era il 23enne Georgy Murzin, laureato anch'egli alla scuola di volo dell'aviazione civile di Buguruslan, nel 2017. Al momento dell'incidente, aveva più di 600 ore di volo.

A bordo c'erano cinque assistenti di cabina.

L'incidente

L'aereo ha subito un impatto con volatili poco dopo il decollo dall'aeroporto Internazionale "Zhukovsky" di Mosca, diretto all'aeroporto Internazionale di Sinferopoli. Un passeggero ha registrato il momento in cui uno stormo di gabbiani ha colpito entrambi i motori CFM56-5. Il primo impatto ha causato una completa perdita di potenza nel motore sinistro. Un secondo impatto ha invece portato a una spinta insufficiente per mantenere l'aereo in volo. I piloti hanno optato per un atterraggio di emergenza in un campo di grano a qualche chilometro di distanza dalla pista dell'aeroporto. L'aereo ha effettuato un atterraggio in un campo di mais a  dall'aeroporto Internazionale Zhukovsky. Tutti i passeggeri a bordo del volo sono sopravvissuti all'impatto. 55 persone hanno ricevuto cure mediche sul luogo dell'incidente. 29 persone sono state portate in ospedale. Il numero di feriti è stato infine portato a 74, nessuno dei quali in gravi condizioni. A tutti i passeggeri sono stati offerti  dollari americani come risarcimento per l'accaduto.

Proliferazione di volatili vicino all'aeroporto
La proliferazione di uccelli vicino a Mosca-Zhukovsky è stata attribuita alla presenza di discariche illegali di rifiuti. Le misure di controllo dei volatili schierate erano state sopraffatte poiché insufficienti. Nel 2012, la gestione di uno dei siti dei rifiuti era stata citata in giudizio presso il tribunale distrettuale di Zhukovsky, sostenendo che "le strutture di selezione dei rifiuti attirano un numero enorme di uccelli a causa del contenuto significativo di rifiuti commestibili e, con il sito posto alla distanza di 2 km dalla pista dell'aeroporto, potrebbero provocare collisioni tra uccelli e aerei, minacciando la vita delle persone a bordo ". Il tribunale non aveva trovato motivi sufficienti per decretare a favore dei querelanti e delle loro richieste.

A partire dal 2019, la discarica non smista o immagazzina più i rifiuti domestici, bensì li compatta e li trasferisce ulteriormente per lo smaltimento; le operazioni, tuttavia, vengono condotte all'aperto.

Un controllore del traffico aereo dell'aeroporto di Zhukovsky ha dichiarato:

Nel settembre 2019, Rosaviatsiya ha proporsto di collaborare con le autorità per verificare la legalità delle discariche di rifiuti vicino agli aeroporti, effettuando ispezioni programmate e non allo scopo di accertare la presenza di volatili.

Reazioni

Poco dopo l'incidente, Ural Airlines rilasciò una dichiarazione su Twitter affermando: "Sul volo U6178 Zhukovsky-Simferopoli, durante il volo da Zhukovsky, si è verificato un grosso impatto con volatili ai danni dei motori dell'aereo. L'aereo ha effettuato un atterraggio di emergenza. I passeggeri e l'equipaggio non sono rimasti feriti". La compagnia aerea ha elogiato la professionalità dei piloti.

Sui social media, sono stati fatti confronti tra l'incidente e il "miracolo sull'Hudson", riguardante il volo US Airways 1549.

Il pilota al comando, Damir Yusupov, e il primo ufficiale, Georgy Murzin, hanno ricevuto il titolo onorifico di Eroe della Federazione Russa; gli altri membri dell'equipaggio sono stati decorati con l'Ordine del Coraggio.

Pur elogiati in Russia, i piloti sono stati inseriti nella lista nera dell'ONG ucraina Myrotvorets ("Peacemaker"), che li ha accusati di "attraversamenti illegali del confine di stato dell'Ucraina, effettuati consapevolmente e in più occasioni".

L'autore del primo film riguardante una catastrofe aerea russa Air Crew, Alexander Mitta, ha annunciato l'intenzione di realizzare un film basato sugli eventi del volo 178.

Le indagini
L'Interstate Aviation Committee (IAC) (in russo: Межгосударственный авиационный комитет, МАК) ha avviato un'inchiesta sull'incidente alla quale hanno partecipato anche la Federal Air Transport Agency russa, il Air Accidents Investigation Branch (AAIB) britannica e il Bureau d'Enquêtes et d'Analyses (BEA) francese. Il registratore vocale della cabina di pilotaggio e il registratore dei dati di volo sono stati entrambi recuperati con successo e i loro dati scaricati.

Il final report è trapelato nell'agosto 2022 e incolpa i piloti di diversi errori invece che di eroismo. Entrambi avevano visto i volatili ed erano consapevoli della loro presenza prima dell'inizio della corsa di decollo. Per quanto riguarda il prosieguo degli eventi, l'equipaggio è stato descritto come disorganizzato in quanto non ha nemmeno disattivato l'allarme scattato dopo il disinserimento dell'autopilota. Nella cabina di pilotaggio non si era parlato di un atterraggio di emergenza e di conseguenza i motori non sono stati spenti al momento dell'atterraggio. Il ritiro del carrello nell'ultima fase del volo è stato interpretato dall'inchiesta come una misura per guadagnare velocità, non come una preparazione per un atterraggio di emergenza come sostenuto dai piloti.

Halogen headlights emit a warm, bright white light which sufficiently illuminates the road. They are cost-effective, easy to replace, and have a reasonable lifespan of 450 to 1000 hours. However, these headlights generate a lot of heat which increases energy consumption thus placing a greater demand on the vehicle's energy sources.
HID or high-density headlights are typically brighter than halogens and LEDs, have a longer lifespan, provide brighter light over a larger distance, and consume less power than halogens. However, these headlights are more fragile, costlier, and have a strong glare that could disturb other drivers.

Many headlight bulbs have a life expectancy of more than 30,000 hours which is much better than the lifespan of halogen bulbs that have a lifespan of 6,000 hours. They have a built-in cooling fan or a cooling chip that ensures maximum heat dissipation.
On the other hand, there are LED headlight bulbs that have a life expectancy of more than 50,000 hours. They are designed with both cooling fan and cooling chip to keep them from getting warm. The fans in these headlights are more powerful thus effective heat dissipation in the case. This helps to keep the LED bulb better protected.
Different manufacturers offer different warranties for their products. Some have a warranty of two years while some of three years. Manufacturers offer these warranty periods because they have confidence in their product. If you buy a product with three years warranty, you can have greater peace of mind. These manufacturers also offer free technical support so you can always call them in case of any problems.
LED headlights are available at different prices. Low-priced units typically have a low lumen number; therefore, the light intensity is not so high, and the lifespan is low, but they provide a bright light. While the high-priced models, on the other hand, are usually the best products available. Although that is not a general rule, therefore, it is better to research carefully before choosing one. These LED headlights have a light intensity of more than 10,000 lumens. They have a long lifespan, and the light beam clearly illuminates greater distances.

Tatura residents furious with putrid smell coming from the town's water tower
By Morgan Dyer
Tom Matarazzo is becoming increasingly irritated with the stench coming from the Tatura water tower.
This sight of Tatura resident Tom Matarazzo sitting peacefully in his garden is rare, because for the past 12 months an increasingly unbearable smell has wafted through his backyard from the Goulburn Valley Water tower located down the road.
For the past 20 years, Mr Matarazzo has painstakingly turned his backyard into an entertainer's dream, filled with trees, birds, outdoor seating and water fountains. The backyard replicates a tropical rainforest.
Having a green thumb and a love for the outdoors, Mr Matarazzo and his wife use the massive space whenever they can and fill it with their family and friends on weekends.
However, last weekend Mr Matarazzo said his guests had no choice but to leave, due to the overwhelming, putrid smell coming from the water tower.
"I had visitors over from Melbourne because we wanted to catch up for a drink before Christmas, but they had to leave, the smell was just disgusting," Mr Matarazzo said.
"You just can't bear to eat out there.
"My neighbour can't even put her clothes out on the line because the smell goes right through them," he said.
Having called Goulburn Valley Water on numerous occasions Mr Matarazzo was becoming increasingly frustrated and even called on GV Water staff to come around for a barbecue to experience the strength of the smell.
"They said they were working on it then and they're still saying that to us," he said.
Mr Matarazzo said his wife complained this time last year because they wanted to host Christmas at their house but were worried about the foul smell.
Goulburn Valley Water operations manager Steven Nash apologised for the smell and said for the past 12 months the company had been constructing a new water treatment plant, which was almost complete.
"Some of the waste water containing algae from the water treatment process is currently sitting in a lagoon, which has a blocked underdrain, meaning we're experiencing difficulties draining the water away," Mr Nash said.
"Unfortunately, this algae causes an odour when it dies off, which is what some Tatura residents would be able to smell."
GV Water said it did not expect the project would cause such a stench.
Mr Nash said workers added a dose of lime into the lagoon on Tuesday to reduce the smell and were working to unblock the drain.
"We also expect we'll have contractors on site this week to fix the drain blockage so we can remove the remaining water, which means the odour will continue to decrease in the next week or so before dissipating," Mr Nash said.
"We are planning to refill the lagoons over the weekend, when the construction works are completed.
"This is expected to remove the smell."
However, Mr Matarazzo's summer garden parties remain in limbo, as GV Water said it would continue to monitor and treat the plant as required.
"If the smell persists, GV Water will pump down the second lagoon and de-sludge the lagoon while wet, which will remove the algae sludge," Mr Nash said.
"We are confident that the algae will be controlled better through our raw water storages this summer."

In 2013 Da Nang attracted more than three million visitors and of those only 600,000 were Westerners — the other 2.4 million were Asian travellers. For accommodation, this means that standards are high and (for a city) cheap — the best hotels and guesthouses are all well located and priced at around $20 to $40 a night, including an Asian buffet breakfast. (If you don't want the breakfast, see if you can get a rate without and eat elsewhere.) For budget accommodation, outside the city you can grab a decent room for $10 to $15 a night, but in downtown Da Nang the standard of guesthouses and hotels in this price range drops to almost unbearable, with a few badly located exceptions. If you are travelling on a tight budget, look at the guesthouses on the east side of the river on Tran Hung Dao or near the beach in Ngu Hahn Son district. Travel to the city from here will only cost a couple of dollars and there are plenty of places to eat, drink and relax.
Da Nang has installed free mega WiFi, which can be accessed from all over the city and is pretty reliable. ATMs are located all over the city, with the highest concentration nearest the big swing bridge, Han River Bridge on riverside Bach Dang Street. Donga banks have the highest withdrawal limits (five million VND, approx US$250), but you can make multiple withdrawals. The ATM withdrawal fee is 20,000 VND per transaction, but do remember you will also be charged by your home bank. If you have an HSBC account there is a branch on Tran Phu Street, or look out for Techcom ATMs which link to HSBC. For travellers cheques at 2 percent and direct bank transfers at 3.3 percent go to either Vietcom or Sacom Bank, both on Bach Dang Street. Opening hours are from 07:30 to 11:30 and 13:00 to 17:00 weekdays. At weekends Sacom Bank opens from 07:30 to 11:30.
For international standard medical treatment most resorts, hotels and taxis will know the Family Medical Practice on Nguyen Van Linh Street, which is available for emergencies and callouts around the clock, seven days per week. They can also help arrange medical evacuation if needed, dealing directly with most travel insurance companies on your behalf. Charges for a consultation start at around $70. A better alternative may be to go straight to a hospital — Da Nang has many and believe us, if you've had a bad motorbike accident they know what they are doing. The main problems are after-care and low hygiene standards.
The Hoan My Hospital on Nguyen Cong Tru Street is your best bet for everything from a gippy tummy through to the worst that could possibly happen. The care here is excellent, standards are international and so are a lot of the surgeons and nursing staff. And prices are far cheaper then at Family Medical.
If you do find yourself in another hospital, practically all of them have an English-speaking doctor or nursing staff, so seek them out, contact Hoan My and organise relocation as soon as is physically possible. You'll need to clear your bills and get a doctor from Hoan My to sign you over into their care and arrange transportation. We can't stress how important this is, especially post surgery. Local hospitals are not set up to deal with after-care.
For dental emergencies, East Meets West Dental Centre on Nui Thanh Street is an excellent international-standard facility. The Vietnamese staff are supported by qualified dental practitioners from all over the world and they also provide free dental care for thousands of poor children and families in Central Vietnam every year.
If you need to ship something back home, Da Nang's central post office is located on Nguyen Van Linh Street. International shipping is provided through reliable companies like DHL and EMS. To tie in with customs procedures you'll need to use their packaging service and fill out a customs form.

HPE Aruba's EMEA VP Morten Illum is looking to his partner base to help deliver the mid-market's technology change. HPE Aruba has just published a report on 'The Hidden Middle' looking at how medium-sized businesses are changing and it calls for changes to help meet customers' needs.
Even so, he says, the mid-market is the area moving fastest to digital transformation, because it has to for competitive reasons.
The segment is placing a heavy emphasis on the cloud: around a quarter (24%) of medium-sized business employees said their company had invested in cloud storage software over the last 12 months, compared to 17% of large firms. They have a lot of active users, want more, and are asking channel for help in staying agile, flexible and yet compliant. Medium-sized businesses also appear to be prioritizing cyber security software: 39% reported investments in this area in the last year, compared to 31% of large businesses.
They want to deliver more than just the network and add services to remove the friction in their business. They want IT-as-a-service, he says "Aruba and its partners have to move from being an IT vendor to being a solution, saying we understand the challenges and can deliver support in a arrange of areas," he says.
"We are committed to the partners we have and delivering capabilities and enablement to them, but of course I am also open to other partners. The security business for example has been specialised in the past, but now it is becoming a more thoughtful discussion at a higher level, because of its importance to the mid-size company, especially in the EU. We need to enable existing and new partners so that they can have a security discussion." However, with the pressure to keep pace with competitors, the report finds that the mid-market customers have had to take great security risks to digitize their systems. Nearly three quarters (74%) of medium-sized business employees said they had taken risks with company data in the past year, says the report.
In EMEA he has formed a new security team to specifically offer this through the channel as it is such a big opportunity. And even though managed services providers form a relatively small part of his partner base, he has a team focused on their development as well.

was a Japanese economist. He served as the Minister of Education under Prime Minister Tetsu Katayama, and was the first president of Hiroshima University.

Early life and education
Morito was born in what is now Fukuyama, Hiroshima, Japan on December 23, 1888. He attended , where he was influenced by Nitobe Inazo. He then went on to study at the Tokyo Imperial University, where he studied under Takano Iwasaburo. He graduated in 1914, but became an assistant professor there in 1919.

Career

Morito incident
Morito was a member of the university's newly-created economics department, and was a member of a Marxist study group. Ōuchi Hyōei, another member of the study group, became the editor of the department's new research journal, and published an article that Morito had submitted. The article was a discussion of Peter Kropotkin's theories and a criticism of Japan's political systems. The Home Ministry made them stop distributing the journal on December 27, 1919, on the grounds that Morito's article advocated for anarchism. Morito refused to apologize for writing the article, so the economics department faculty voted to suspend both Morito and Ouchi in January 1920. The Home Ministry also took them to court. Despite protests from hundreds of university students, Morito was sentenced to three months in jail. Ouchi was sentenced to a year of probation.

Epidurals increase caesarean section rate
A systematic literature review of the influence of epidural analgesia during labour and the Caesarean section rate [1] provides an insight into how information collected from studies with different designs may be combined. It also answers the question: "how much extra risk is there of a woman having a Caesarean if she has an epidural?"
The review -- The authors (from California) did a thorough review of the literature, including use of Effective Care in Pregnancy and Childbirth and contacting experts to locate studies. They read 230 manuscripts before settling on six for inclusion. Four of these were retrospective design - three reviewing all women delivered during a specified period, and one with a matched case control design. The other two were randomised controlled trials (RCTs).
Data extraction -- The Caesarean delivery rate for epidural and non-epidural groups was extracted from the six reports.
Results -- Bandolier took the data from each study and plotted the Caesarean rate for epidural and non-epidural groups on a L'Abbé plot with the numbers of women included in each study, and calculated odds ratio and NNT. There was a consistent increase in Caesarean section rate in women having epidural analgesia. The overall weighted difference was 10%, generating an NNT of 10 (95%CI 8.4 - 13), with an odds ratio of 2.6 (2.1 - 3.2).
This means that for every 10 women in labour having epidural analgesia, one more will have a Caesarean section, who would not have done had they had another form of analgesia.
Comment -- The NNT of 10 provides a figure which can be used by women and their caregivers in making choices about their labour. It was interesting that in this case both randomised and non-randomised designs produced the same estimate of effect. The paper discusses the issue of more complicated deliveries, and private and state health care, without making any startling conclusions. It is a useful read.

In 2003, Patrick McManamy opened The Law Office of Patrick J. McManamy, P.C., focusing on Residential and Commercial Real Estate closings.
Two years later, Patrick merged his practice with another well-known Atlanta Real Estate Attorney, Joseph "Joe" Ferguson, to create Ferguson McManamy Attorneys at Law, LLC.
After four years in practice together, Joe retired from Ferguson McManamy, which inspired a new wave of growth within the firm. Brendon "Bren" McLeod acquired Joe's interest in the firm and Kati Heller became the Managing Partner of the Intown office. Bren's prior experience in Commercial Litigation and Kati's proven leadership skills and expertise helped to diversify and round out the management of the firm. In April 2010, the firm was renamed McManamy McLeod Heller, LLC, "MMH". That same year, MMH acquired the Corporate Relocation practice of James Siebold & Associates.
Since then, the firm has grown from its roots as a traditional closing and title practice to offer Corporate Relocation, Commercial Title and Closing, and Default Services on a statewide basis. MMH has extended the practice even further to include Bulk Sale Transfers as well as Business and Estate Planning Services. The firm acts as State Counsel for multiple Relocation Management Companies, including those acquired as a part of the firm's merger with Drake Chandler's local Atlanta Relocation firm in 2016.
Through meaningful expansion, we have compiled a dedicated staff, many of whom have worked for the firm for over seven years. In addition, our team of attorneys has over 300 years of combined Real Estate experience among them. We look forward to working with you as we continue to grow.

Photo ID Cards for "Mental Patients" Now a Reality | Michael Cornwall, Ph.D.
This entry first appeared at Mad in America on October 29, 2013.
This White Card project may be well-intentioned, but it makes me very uncomfortable. I believe it is a form of psychiatric profiling that could be adopted by law enforcement around the United States, with the powerful political backing of NAMI, and the tacit if not public support of psychiatry.
The operative stigmatizing equation appears to be "mental patient" = unacceptable danger to others. Will police believe that "good," compliant and NAMI-aligned "mental patients," who will be able to show the police a White Card with their diagnosis and prescribed medications, make up a lower risk group, than people without a White Card, who reject being identified by a diagnosis, and may not be taking meds?
Will people without White Cards be seen as potentially more dangerous by the police?
And won't the police eventually want a data base of all White Card holders to cross check against when someone hands them a White Card, creating a kind of watch list?
I can imagine staff at psychiatric hospitals pressuring confined people, to sign up for a White Card as a new and added criterion for their discharge.
I can imagine staff at mental health clinics urging people who are court-ordered to receive forced treatment in the community to also get a White Card.
The cards can be obtained at a NAMI office, or at the police station.
Supplying people with "mental patient" identification cards, conveys the implication that something is proven, that predicts a person's behavior about potential violence, whereas the state of the scientific research, cannot support such an ID card project aimed at violence prevention. It ends up being psychiatric profiling – a whole class of people becomes the socially identified scapegoat, based on the fears and projections of others. Once again we see the psychiatric diagnosis process serving as a public degradation ceremony, that effectively strips personal identity away, to legitimize the enforcement of the regulation of deviance in our communities.
This White Card project is happening against the backdrop of over 40 states oppressing people with forced, in home treatment laws.
Draconian measures imprisoning and forcibly medicating and giving ECT to people, are challenged now by the UN, which equates forced psychiatric treatment with torture, as Tina Minkowitz has so well documented here on Madinamerica.
This joint Law Enforcement/NAMI White Card project looks to be another ominous development to me.

In the current times we have seen a massive increase in the amount of diseases that are sprouting up in every corner of the world. While several of these diseases are ordinary and treatable mutations in the ones we are already familiar with, there are also new problems arising which are causing serious concern. While the scientists and researchers spend millions in researching these problems and finding out solutions, it is important that we are well aware of what these problems are and what the latest developments have been in the field of medicine. To make sure that we play our part, we will be sharing latest developments in a diverse range of issues so that you can keep yourself well informed. Keep reading to find out more.
Parkinson's disease is one of the most widely spread diseases in the world with over 10 million people suffering from it. This disease causes a progressive deterioration in the brain cells which are responsible for releasing dopamine, a chemical which plays a key role in the movement mechanism of the body. Several studies have been carried out over the years that showed great promise in terms of treating Parkinson's but so far no proper cure has been developed. However, a new study that was conducted in the University of Bath UK and funded by Parkinson's UK showed it is possible to slow down the damage that is caused by Parkinson's disease. The agent responsible for this is a peptide which they have created and it can stick itself to malfunctioning α- synuclein and prevent them from killing dopamine cells. This development is certainly one of the biggest breakthroughs so far in the research for finding a cure for Parkinson's disease and if successful, could be good news for millions of people all over the world.
Over the years we have found countless researches that found the negative impacts that sleep deprivation could have over our bodies. The problems that were found included temporary memory impairment, loss of concentration and other serious problems too including heart disease and diabetes. However, in a recent research, it has been found that oversleeping is also not good for us and could lead to serious problems too. The standard set by the National Sleep Foundation for the amount of hours that an adult needs to sleep every day is 7-9. In the study, there were 9692 participants and the mean age was 62 and the result of the study was that anyone who slept for more than 8 hours was facing a drastic increase in the chances of having a stroke. The actual figure for the increase is 46% which is a staggering amount and is certainly a cause of alarm as well. According to follow up studies, the increase in the average amount of sleep a person got was itself usable as a warning sign that the chances for a stroke were increasing. Given the diversity of the test subjects in the research, it is clear that the issue is real and we must start taking care of it immediately.
The amount of people that suffer from heart failure at some point in their life is unbelievably huge and while the reasons may be extremely diverse, it is still something that we should be concerned about. While the list of things that could lead to heart failure is quite long, there has been a recent addition in the things that would suggest the possibility of heart failure in a person. According to a new research conducted by Mayo Clinic, this new addition to the list is a lack of ability to perform everyday tasks normally. The research was conducted in Rochester and has more than more than 1700 participants who had an average age of 75. The research asked the participants to fill up questionnaires that helped in finding out if they had problems with everyday tasks. 59% of the candidates showed positive signs of problem. Subsequently, the follow up showed that 614 of them actually died within three years and another 910 hospitalized. The statistics clearly showed that it was possible to use this problem as a sign for heart related problems and could even help in avoiding potential loss of lives.
The UK is quite vigilant when it comes to healthcare services and that is particularly true about the government authorities. To find out more about the latest developments in the activities of the department of health you can visit this Link.


Just as your skin ages, so does your hair. It becomes thinner, limper, and more unrulier with time. We have a solution to help you press rewind. Professionals Inspired by aesthetic medicine have found a treatment that will protect your hair from cutting. The effect of filled damaged hair is just one of several advantages. Professional treatments are the salvation for damaged hair. Hair BTX is the latest hit because of rejuvenating effect. Hair is filled with the substance reinforcing its structure thanks to which it regains a healthy appearance and resistance to damage. It is designed for very damaged and porous hair, after intensive chemical treatments. The procedure rebuilds the internal structure so hair is nourished and soft and resistant to damage. The product also protects against further damage. As a result, the hair is nourished and natural.
How it works: Magic molecules promise to smooth away split ends and signs of damage. The magic formula contains molecules that seek out and attach themselves to areas of damaged keratin – the protein which makes up hair fibers. Then, according to the inventors, the molecules get extra busy by penetrating the hair shaft to seal gaps and breakages. On top of that, vitamins and glossing agents can be added to the serum at the same time, giving longer-lasting results than other conditioning treatments, which sit on top of hair strands and need to be reapplied every time the hair is washed. Guaranteed.
What is Hair BTX Treatment?
Hair BTX is a cosmetic hair treatment which provides intensive hydration to hair and promises to restore gloss, repair battered strands and return the lost moisture. Hair BTX is not a treatment such as keratin or other smoothing procedures that modify the wave of hair and changes its structure; on the contrary, Hair BTX serves as an alternative to repair the damage caused by chemicals. It is very important to understand that Hair BTX will not change the structure of the hair but it will improve your hair's condition, especially reduce the frizzness.
What are the effects of Hair BTX?
The main effect of Hair BTX is the softness of hair and making it more manageable to brush and comb. And the hair is so soft that it slips through your fingers. Also, the hair will look shiny and you will notice split ends and brittle strands look healthier than before. In addition to these benefits, the Hair BTX also stimulates hair growth so it is often recommended for people who want to treating alopecia.
How long does Hair BTX lasts?
The effect of Hair BTX can last 1 to 3 months and can be lost if you continue with the same habits that damaged your hair initially. However, this treatment can be applied every month. If you are looking for a more natural way to moisturize your hair try these home remedies for dry hair.
What not to do after Hair BTX treatment?
Please do not wash your hair at least for 8 hours. As well do not dye/perm/bleach your hair as long as possible to keep the effect of Hair BTX.
An innovative treatment Nanoplastia (Nanoplasty) is a hair restoration, proven by practice to be an effective method of straightening that provides healthy appearance.
The base of the product is constituted from amino acids and collagen. The products for Nanoplastia (Nanoplasty) are saturated to the maximum of beneficial substances and supplemented with harmless chemical elements that facilitate penetration into the hair and interact at the cellular level. The formulas for this procedure are rich with amino acids, which, under the action of temperature, penetrate in the cortical layer of the hair. Therefore, the structure of the hair becomes strong and the nutrients are integrated in the hair healing it from the inside.
How does it differ from keratin straightening?
Nanoplastia (Nanoplasty) is a healing procedure with the effect of straightening the hair from 70 to 90%, while keratin treatment is a special procedure that only straightens the hair. Keratin straightening will not heal the hair because its composition does not penetrate the cortex of the hair as does the composition of Nanoplastia (Nanoplasty).
Keratin Treatment is a smoothing treatment that can fill the porosity of your hair and provide the missing protein.
Because of chemical treatments or simply with age, we lose protein which makes our hair dry, damaged and frizzy.
By repairing the outer layer of the hair fiber, keratin helps to smooth, protect, soften, strengthen and soften our hair. The keratin treatment will reduce your drying time by 50-70%.
Calculate all you time and effort to manage your frizzy hair. Find your peace for up to 6 months.
The main difference between Keratin and BTX is the result that you are looking for.
If you are looking for hair straightening, Keratin will be the best option for you. However, if you are looking for a deep treatment that will repair and smooth your hair, but not straighten them, BTX is the best option for you.
BTX works on the hair from inside and keratin from outside.
Nonetheless, Keratin treatment is primarily intended for hair straightening rather than hair repair and it is not suitable for very damaged hair. Whereas, BTX treatment is primarily intended for hair repair and rejuvenation rather than straightening and is suitable for all even very damaged hair.
Keratin changes the look of your hair, it eliminates frizz and hair become straight, silky and much more manageable.
BTX not only changes the look of the hair, they become frizz free, shiny and soft, but also works on the inside by moisturizing, regenerating and revitalizing it. As a result, you get healthier hair that are much easier to style.
Keratin usually lasts up to 6 months. If you use the right products for maintenance, the results will last longer.
BTX usually lasts up to 3 months and the right products for maintenance are recommended.
Both treatments have cumulative effect. If you will repeat the treatment prior Keratin or BTX are completely washed off, the product will accumulate, and the results of the following procedure will last longer.

John Edward Alite (born September 30, 1962) is an American former mobster, Gambino crime family associate and a government witness who testified against the crime family and John A. "Junior" Gotti in 2008. That year, Alite pleaded guilty to racketeering charges, including two murders and a variety of other crimes, and in 2011, was sentenced to a total of 10 years in prison. Due to his cooperation with prosecutors, he was released on a five-year supervised release in 2012. Alite has estimated that he shot between 30 to 40 people, beat about 100 people with a baseball bat, and murdered six people. Later in life, Alite publicly denounced the life of organized crime and became a motivational speaker, podcaster and books author.

Early life
Alite was born on September 30, 1962 in the Queens borough of New York City and grew up in Woodhaven, Queens. His grandparents were Albanian immigrants from Gjirokastër. Alite grew up in the same neighborhood as John Gotti's son, John A. Gotti, with whom he was boyhood friends. He was Gotti's best man at his wedding in 1990. Alite received a baseball scholarship to the University of Tampa, but dropped out after three years. Alite's first wife was Carol, and his second wife was Claudia DiPippa; he has four children.

Criminal career
Alite was associated with the Gambino crime family but was ineligible to become a "made man" in the organization due to his non-Italian heritage. In the 1980s and '90s, he was an enforcer and hitman for a Queens-based drug gang headed by John A. "Junior" Gotti which allegedly distributed eight kilograms of cocaine per month. On December 20, 1988, Alite lured cocaine dealer George Grosso to the White Horse Tavern in Queens, persuaded him to get into a car under the pretence of driving to another bar, and then shot him three times in the head. Grosso's corpse was dumped off Grand Central Parkway in Flushing Meadows Park. "Junior" Gotti allegedly ordered Grosso's murder because he had told people he was selling drugs on behalf of Gotti and his father, Gambino boss John J. Gotti. Alite was also involved in the murder of Bruce John Gotterup, who was shot to death on a Rockaway boardwalk by John Burke on November 20, 1991 as retribution for stealing drug and gambling proceeds from Gambino family associates and for being involved in an altercation with the nephew of a Gambino soldier.

In the mid-1990s, Alite relocated to the Philadelphia area, where he owned homes in the suburbs of Cherry Hill and Voorhees Township. He began associating with "made" members and associates of the Philadelphia crime family, as well as the independent 10th & Oregon Crew. Infighting in the Philadelphia Mafia between rival factions led by John Stanfa and Joey Merlino left the organization in disarray and allowed Alite to take control of the lucrative valet parking business on Delaware Avenue, as well as in South Jersey and Atlantic City, within a year of moving to the area. Aside from being a source of legitimate income, Alite used his valet parking businesses as a means of laundering money he was making from drug dealing, gambling and loansharking. One member of Alite's crew, Keith Pellegrino, was a drug supplier to the 10th & Oregon gang. In 1994, 10th & Oregon Crew leader Louie Turra reportedly attempted to solicit Alite as a hitman to kill Joey Merlino in a dispute over a "street tax", an offer which Alite turned down as he felt the Turra gang were "cowboys". He was also questioned by police over the November 1, 1994 homicide of Carol Neulander in Cherry Hill. The murdered woman's husband, Fred Neulander, was ultimately convicted in the killing.

Alite later led a crew in Tampa, Florida that extorted rival valet businesses, and reported to Gambino capo Ronald Trucchio. He also arranged for the purchase of Mirage, a Tampa nightclub.

In 1995, Charles Carneglia and Alite were involved in a major conspiracy to murder John A. Gotti. Later that year, Alite was arrested for illegal possession of a firearm in violation of a parole agreement and spent three years in prison. After his release, Alite earned an additional three months back in prison for acting as a go-between for corrupt prison guard Troy Kemmerer who was smuggling sperm donation kits in and out of Allenwood Federal Prison for inmate Antonino Parlavecchio, who was trying to impregnate his wife Maria.

As federal racketeering indictments were handed down for his group's activities in the Tampa area, Alite fled to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil in January 2004, and lived and worked in the Copacabana neighborhood, according to the Brazilian Federal Police. He lived there for 10 months before authorities arrested him. He served two years in prison in Brazil and was eventually extradited to federal authorities in Tampa, for trial in 2006.

Government witness and racketeering convictions
In January 2008, Alite pleaded guilty to racketeering charges that included two murders, four murder conspiracies, at least eight shootings, and two attempted shootings as well as armed home invasions and armed robberies in New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Florida, stemming from his alleged involvement in a Gambino crew in Tampa, Florida. Alite agreed to testify in the trial of Gambino family enforcer Charles Carneglia, who was found guilty of four murders and is now serving a life sentence.

Alite was also a government witness in the unsuccessful racketeering trial against John Gotti Jr. Prosecutors indicted Gotti for racketeering and murder conspiracy charges, stemming from an alleged drug trafficking ring in Florida, and the murders of George Grosso in 1988, Louis DiBono in 1990 and Bruce John Gotterup in 1991. Alite testified that Gotti was responsible for at least eight murders, among other crimes.

Alite's testimony was largely undermined during cross examination. On December 1, 2009, the 12 jurors announced that they had failed to reach a unanimous verdict on all the charges against Gotti and the judge declared a mistrial and released Gotti. Interviewed after the trial, the jurors said that they did not find Alite to be credible. Federal prosecutors from Brooklyn and Tampa described Alite's cooperation as "extraordinary" and "substantial" when submitting statements to the judge responsible for sentencing Alite for two murders and other crimes.

On April 26, 2011, Alite was sentenced to a total of 10 years in prison. In January 2012, he was released on a five-year supervised release; in October 2015, a letter was written to the U.S. Probation Office claiming that Alite broke the terms of his supervised release in a New Jersey gun case which prompted an investigation that sent Alite back to prison for three months.

Later life
Alite later became a youth motivational speaker on avoiding crime. He has four books that he co-wrote, Gotti's Rules (2015), Darkest Hour (2018), Prison Rules (2019), and Mafia International (2021). In July 2020, he appeared in the Fear City: New York vs The Mafia Netflix docuseries.  On March 25 2020 he started his own podcast, called Mafia Truths with John Alite . In September 2021, Alite was the subject of an episode of National Geographic's Locked Up Abroad. Later he featured in a Gamology react video on Hitman 3 where he provided commentary on the game and how it compared to his exploits as a former hitman.
