What is Your Federal Heights Home Worth?
Federal Heights is a community located less than 10 miles from Denver in the North Metro area and makes up part of the urban belt of the metropolitan area. This is a region where one town mixes with the next to create a huge sprawl of neighborhoods that provide excellent amenities, transport, and access. Yes, Federal Heights is an urban town first and foremost, but it is also still a Colorado town. Sure, there are no sweeping landscapes of natural splendor, but Federal Heights is a beautiful town that is inspired by the rugged wonder of Colorado. Federal Heights, CO, is also one of the most sought-after areas in the North Metro area thanks to its excellent infrastructure, schooling, and diverse, affordable home choice. Children in Federal Heights will attend schools in the Adams 12 Five Star School District. For the most part, Federal Heights is such a popular choice for homeowners because properties are mostly affordable, making this a good place for families who want close access to downtown Denver. There are three main subdivisions in Federal Heights, each without a homeowner's association and each with homes ranging from 1000 to 2000 finished square feet. Built in the 1950s, Homestead Heights provides a glimpse back to Colorado of the mid-20th century with its ranch-style homes. Monticello has 575 homes and was built in the 1960s, while Northborough Heights has 353 homes and was completed in 1980. Location means Federal Heights is ideal for commuters and the town has two complexes at Aspen Meadow Townhomes and Roth Park Condos.

The mathematics of monitoring gaseous extinguishing systems
Image copyright: Coltraco Ultrasonics
The fire industry uses scientific principles to enable its very existence. However, fire engineering designs are often based on formulas that technicians have no way of verifying as accurate. Fire engineers do not always understand the physical properties of the clean agents or fire suppression agents that they use. For example, Novec 1230 Fire Protection Fluid, a clean agent fire extinguishant, is an organic compound that deteriorates quickly to a point of non-effectiveness if poorly handled and stored.
The value of the assets that fire extinguishing systems protect is increasing rapidly, whilst market pressures lead to the delivery of ever-cheaper systems. Too often fire protection is seen as a cost rather than an investment.
These problems, and many more, may be solved in the fire industry by the application of fundamental scientific principles. Headquartered in London, Coltraco Ultrasonics is a global company and is principally engaged in the research, design, development, manufacture, integration and sustainment of high-exporting advanced technology systems, products and services.
Coltraco Ultrasonics is the global leader in our fields of contents monitoring of gaseous extinguishing systems and watertight/airtight integrity monitoring, all of which are integral to the success of any fire-suppression system. We design ultrasonic technologies to 'see the sounds that others cannot hear' and, in our acoustic and mechanical systems, to 'measure the hitherto unmeasurable'.
An emphasis on fundamental science in 'practical scholarship' and sustained, innovation, invention and discovery continues to underpin Coltraco's research, development, design and ergonomics programme. Our technologies take advantage of the fundamental characteristics and properties of sound waves to monitor and measure an array of specialised environments across 25 diverse market sectors, including the fire industry, delivering the Safesite on land and the Safeship at sea.
For instance, where it would previously have taken a two-man team 15 minutes to dismantle, weigh, and reinstall one 45kg CO2 fire extinguishing gas cylinder on a large ship, that may have up to 600, Coltraco Ultrasonics' science-led technologies allow one person to monitor the contents of that fire-suppression gas cylinder in the gas suppression system in 15 seconds.
Within this vision of the Safesite on land and the Safeship at sea, our technologies allow customers to justify actively engaging in going above and beyond existing regulations as an integrated and essential element to their business activity. Customers, personnel and assets alike will be better for it.
Coltraco Ultrasonics and the monitoring of liquified and non-liquified gaseous, CO2, and clean agent fixed fire suppression systems
Clean agents are pressurised liquified or non-liquified fire suppression gas, which is pressurised on actuation and commonly used in the fire industry. CO2, frequently used in a gas fire suppression system, is permanently under 720psi or 49 bar of pressure, nearly 50 times atmospheric pressure. Pressurised fire extinguishing gas cylinders are often considered by the fire industry as single and passive columns of solid material, from the perspective of their monitoring following installation.
However, as these cylinders are constantly under pressure, with this pressure changing due to variations in temperature, they should be considered active, dynamic systems, that require constant monitoring. Indeed, all good engineering demands the monitoring of dynamic structures, such as highly pressurised cylinders, that are designed to protect critical infrastructure and assets.
Coltraco Ultrasonics' Portalevel ultrasonic liquid level indicators are capable of measuring the level of liquified and non-liquified fire suppression gas in a gaseous fire extinguisher to +/-1.5mm accuracy. This level of accuracy has never been achieved before.
These technologies are complemented by the Permalevel Featherweight, which allows for the constant monitoring of a gas suppression system from these fixed monitoring sites and can be tracked centrally at the customer location and remotely globally, and our Portascanner AIRTIGHT 520. Without constant monitoring, a risk is generated in the very environment for which it is designed to reduce risk.
Coltraco Ultrasonics' retrofittable devices allow users to go above and beyond existing safety regulations, combining the ease of retrofitting with the highest accuracy of constant monitoring, capable of monitoring both liquified and non-liquified gas fire suppression systems.
Coltraco Ultrasonics at the forefront of room integrity monitoring with the Portascanner AIRTIGHT 520
Our Portascanner AIRTIGHT 520 ultrasonic airtightness and leak detection instrument is able to detect leak sites as small as 0.06mm, with a tolerance of 0.02mm. This is an unparalleled level of accuracy, and Coltraco Ultrasonics is the only company worldwide whose instruments are able to monitor level and precisely identify, measure and quantify the size, extent and severity of leaks.
Coltraco has been a part of the Working Group on British and International Standards Organisation (ISO) Standards Safety Engineering since 2016. Room integrity monitoring is essential under ISO 14520 where gaseous extinguishing systems have to be designed in relation to the discharging agent hold-time and discharging agent peak pressure, to ensure that fire extinguishing gases do not leak, and that fires are not replenished with fresh oxygen.
Whilst room integrity is frequently monitored at the design stage of a fire-suppression system through positive pressurisation, such as with a Door Fan Test or Pulse Test, it is common for further tests to be completed infrequently once this initial inspection has been passed. A building is like a ship at sea. It turns and bends as any structure does, and during this aging, leak sites develop.
A new British invention, following the co-location of our Physicists and Scientists at Durham University, a globally outstanding centre of teaching and research excellence, the Portascanner AIRTIGHT 520 builds on Coltraco Ultrasonics' long history in watertight integrity monitoring for the Royal Navy.
The Portascanner AIRTIGHT 520 allows for the ultrasonic quantification of leak sites in a depressurised environment, which is a unique capability globally. Regular, simple and accurate room integrity testing with the Portascanner AIRTIGHT 520 will allow the fire industry to make sharper decisions, verify technical specifications, and reveal possible defects in a complementary manner to periodic Door Fan or Pulse room integrity testing.
Why use ultrasonic technology in the fire industry?
Ultrasonic measuring solutions are a better-faster-cheaper method of ensuring safe fire engineering practices are adhered to.
Better: Ultrasonic technology is non-invasive, non-destructive and non-disruptive, meaning it is safer for personnel and does not require the user to shut down the fire suppression system during inspection.
Faster: The non-disruptive, non-invasive nature of ultrasonic contents monitoring allows testing to take place when the fire suppression system is in-situ and operational. Likewise, the absence of any need for pressurisation, and simple-to-use instruments, allow for rapid, regular room integrity inspections, with little previous training required.
Cheaper: Enabling inspection to take place without disruption to the fire-suppression system means no shut-down, saving time, and no requirement for multiple operators, saving labour costs.
This facilitates the implementation of a comprehensive maintenance programme as part of a strategic approach to business continuity, reducing the risk of accidental or ineffective discharges and leaks not being picked up, creating additional value and leading to revenue reward.
It is our vision that this industrial integration of technological solutions to provide a bulwark against wider industry misrepresentation and minimal, even occasional and flagrant disregard in the application of standards and good global engineering, will create standards which all can understand and apply.
The mathematics of its failure are high, whether in the application and understanding of the formulas used to calculate design concentrations of gases or flow rates, or in the deployment of fundamental engineering principles to protect dynamic pressurised systems and the structures they are working so hard to protect against fire.

Commons: 27 June 1977
Volume 934: debated on Monday 27 June 1977
Mr. Sproat
asked the Secretary of State for Employment what local offices of his Department require persons who register as unemployed to register only once a fortnight; and if he will make a statement.
Mr. Golding
The following unemployment benefit offices in my Department currently require unemployed claimants to attend and make their claims once a fortnight:
Barrow-in-Furness Hornchurch
Bath Newquay
Bristol Paignton
Brixton Penzance
Camberwell Portsmouth
Deptford Romford
Devonport Swanage
Gateshead Swindon
Gillingham Tidworth
Gloucester Willesden
Harrow Wood Green
These fortnightly arrangements are introduced as a temporary measure by the authority of the Secretary of State for Social Services under powers contained in Regulation 12 of the Social Security (Claims and Payments) Regulations 1975 when it is impracticable or unduly difficult to operate the normal weekly procedure for dealing with claims to unemployment benefit.In all the offices listed above the pressure of numbers of unemployed and the inadequacy of premises make it necessary to introduce fortnightly attendance.In any one week only half the number of claimants are required to attend. Payment of benefit continues to be made weekly in arrears.
Mr. Hall-Davis
asked the Secretary of State for Employment if he will give a breakdown of the crude unemployment figures for June by sex and age to the extent that this information is available to him.
The provisional number unemployed in Great Britain at 9th June was 1,390,401, of whom 1,009,343 were males and 381,058 were females. The figure includes 142,807 school leavers under 18 years of age—76,952 males and 65,855 females. There is no detailed age analysis of these figures: this information is obtained only in respect of January and July each year. Broad estimates by age for 9th June indicate that about 1,254,000 were under 60 years of age and about 136,000 were 60 or over.


UPDATE – Gunn Yang today beat Bradley Neil 3&2 in the 2015 Georgia Cup. Well done Gunn !
The Georgia Cup is a charity challenge match played the week before The Masters between the reigning United States (US) Amateur Champion and British Amateur Champion.
It was established by The Golf Club of Georgia in 1998 and is played on either their Lakeside (L) or Creekside (C) Courses in Alpharetta, GA.
The 2015 and 18th match will tee-off today at 1.00pm local time on the Lakeside Course and will be played between South Korea's Gunn Yang and Scotland's Bradley Neil, respectively the 2014 US and British Amateur Champions.
Both contestants always move on to nearby Augusta to prepare for and take up their Masters invitations after the match.
The British Amateur Champions lead their US counterparts 9 – 8 in the series, helped in no small part by victories in the last three matches.

What good are medical innovations if they never reach patients? UB researchers have $3 million grant to make sure they do
New faculty scholars will develop and test methods to bring evidence-based findings into routine clinical practice
New drugs and diagnostic tests go through years of clinical trials before being approved. But while regulatory approval is an enormous hurdle, getting through that process doesn't automatically ensure that patients have access to these medical innovations.
K12 Faculty Scholar Program in Implementation Science
Faculty profile: Shirley S. Chang, MD
Faculty profile: Brian Clemency, DO
"To translate innovation to the real world, you need to go to real practices and real patients."

Associate professor, UB Department of Emergency Medicine
Now, a new field called implementation science is evolving to facilitate the transition from clinical trials to clinical practice. The Clinical and Translational Science Institute (CTSI) in the Jacobs School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences at the University at Buffalo recently announced the funding of two faculty scholars who will focus on this new science so more patients benefit from innovations. They are:
Shirley S. Chang, MD, assistant professor, UB Department of Medicine, Division of Nephrology, a transplant nephrologist at Erie County Medical Center and a physician with UBMD Internal Medicine. She will study implementation strategies for appropriate use of medications that inhibit the renin-angiotensin system, which regulates blood pressure and fluid balance, in patients with congestive heart failure.
Primary mentor: Katia Noyes, PhD, director, Division of Health Services Policy and Practice, and of epidemiology and environmental health, UB School of Public Health and Health Professions.
Brian Clemency, DO, associate professor, UB Department of Emergency Medicine, program director of UB's fellowship in pre-hospital care, Emergency Medical Services and a physician with UBMD Emergency Medicine. He will study ways to bridge the gap between current knowledge of cardiopulmonary resuscitation quality and its optimal implementation in pre-hospital settings.
Primary mentor: David Hostler, PhD, chair, Department of Exercise and Nutrition Sciences, UB School of Public Health and Health Professions.
The funding comes from a $3 million award to UB's CTSI in 2017, one of just 10 grants in the U.S. awarded for this purpose by the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute of the National Institutes of Health. Called a K12 award, it is an institutional career development award designed to promote recruitment and retention of the best and the brightest to UB.
"With these translational science grants, NIH wants to bring more relevance to research," said Ranjit Singh, MD, associate professor and vice chair for research in the Department of Family Medicine in the Jacobs School.
Singh, who also directs the Jacobs School's Primary Care Research Institute, is co-director on the grant with John Canty Jr., MD, SUNY Distinguished Professor, chief of the Division of Cardiovascular Medicine, and Albert and Elizabeth Rekate Professor of Medicine.
Katia Noyes, PhD, director of the Division of Health Services Policy and Practice, and professor of epidemiology and environmental health in the School of Public Health and Health Professions, is director of curriculum.
'Late-stage' translational science
While translational science is the effort to speed the delivery of medical advances to patients, implementation science is sometimes described as "late-stage" translational science in that it involves ensuring that the community has the broadest access possible to those advances.
In its Request for Applications, the NIH stated "this program is not focused on traditional explanatory science that tests interventions under ideal conditions, but rather on how to translate confirmed evidence into practice by patients, providers or health systems under usual conditions."
In other words, said Singh, "To translate innovation to the real world, you need to go to real practices and real patients.
"Most clinical trials are performed in controlled settings," he explained. "To be in a trial, patients need to meet strict criteria and the treatment needs to be delivered with a very high degree of fidelity. This rigor is necessary to prove that the intervention, such as a medication, is truly efficacious for the intended patients," he continued. "But translating an innovation to the real world requires working with busy clinical teams and with diverse patients, who don't necessarily fit the mold."
He said patients may have multiple medical conditions and treatments that they are juggling, and face financial and social challenges and other stressors. "Similarly, providers have limited time with patients, and are under pressure to see more patients and meet new quality metrics that may not align with the patient's goals," he added.
John Taylor, executive director of development for UB's Primary Care Research Institute, put it this way: "Much of what is recommended based on traditional science is not doable in the real world. This grant is about how to get that science into the real world, what's doable by the provider or patient."
'Dirty science'
Singh said implementation science includes "pragmatic clinical trials," which are sometimes perceived as "dirty science" because they relax many of the traditional requirements for methodological rigor needed for the more familiar randomized controlled trials.
"Pragmatic clinical trials and other implementation science studies aim to demonstrate effectiveness with diverse patients in diverse settings, and to understand what strategies are needed to incorporate the treatment into routine practice," he said.
This requires a different set of approaches. Some aspects of methodological rigor, such as those based on narrow patient selection and very precise procedures, are relaxed out of necessity, while others are retained.
"The key is to make careful, deliberate choices in the research design to ensure that the results are relevant and inform future practice," said Singh.
The scientific rigor, he continued, is improved by the use of established theories and models of adoption and implementation that draw from multiple scientific disciplines.
"This is a challenging field because it covers the whole spectrum of how new medical approaches can be adopted, from the policy level down to the individual medical practice or patient," said Singh.
Taylor noted: "Implementation science is about what makes something implementable and what the barriers are. The biggest challenge is engagement."
The grant funds two positions this year and three to five over the next four years, supporting mentored research and career development for faculty scholars, either currently at UB or new recruits, in implementation research. Their charge is to address the complex process of bridging research and practice in real-world settings.
The program is especially interested in novel approaches to reducing health disparities in clinical populations and increasing diversity in the clinical and translational workforce.

LNG creates new business opportunities
Tornio Manga LNG terminal
LNG creates new business opportunities in places where they previously did not exist. As an attractively priced fuel that can be easily transported, LNG enables profitable business in areas that are difficult to reach. Installations that power, for example, mines or production facilities in remote locations, with no access to pipelines, can ship in LNG to ensure sufficient electricity for their operations. Using an inexpensive and efficient fuel can make a major difference in operating expenses and consequently in profitability and competitiveness.
Initiating LNG-based energy production naturally takes some time, as it involves permitting processes as well as infrastructure construction. However, there are now solutions that enable faster market access: floating storage and regasification barges, or FSRBs, are moveable installations that can be put in place and fired up much faster than land-based facilities. They are ideal for projects with a clearly defined time frame, as well as for getting started in LNG-based operations. The FSRB can provide the necessary infrastructure while a land-based permanent installation is being built.
"LNG opens up exciting new possibilities across industries. It reaches the far ends of the world. It is efficient and more sustainable than traditional fossil fuels such as heavy fuel oil. Due to a global surplus, it will be inexpensive for a long time. This combination makes it an ideal fuel for a variety of purposes, and fixed-term projects as well as permanent operations," says Alexandre Eykerman, Vice President, Energy Solutions, LNG Solutions, from Wärtsilä.
Natural gas and renewable energy technologies come with many economic, technical, environmental and political advantages. From an environmental point view, gas is a more sustainable alternative than oil, producing fewer emissions and burning more efficiently. Regulation is a strong driver towards cleaner energy production. While renewable energy sources are gaining ground, they are still dependent on weather and may not always be sufficient to cover demand peaks. Gas is often used for load balancing power, to ensure that there is enough power available to meet the needs of both industry and consumers.
LNG infrastructure contributes to fuel flexibility
In shipping as well as in energy production, the availability of fuel is a key concern. So far, the growth of the LNG market has been held back by insufficient infrastructure: if there are not enough terminals or regasification facilities in strategic locations, shifting to LNG is not a viable option. However, ports now are waking up to the advantages of offering LNG services and investing in terminals that serve local industry and energy production as well as the shipping industry. An LNG terminal also attracts ship traffic to a port, as vessels need to fuel up. By bringing in cruise ships, it can even boost local tourism.
In areas that are strongly dependent on a single energy source, LNG infrastructure introduces welcome flexibility. With multiple fuel alternatives and suppliers, buyers can choose the one that answers their needs best at any given time – be it a matter of cost, availability or environmental performance.
In many regions around the world, the need to implement strategies to increase gas supplies through pipeline and LNG infrastructure to meet demand for electricity and gas peak demand is already on the agenda. Wärtsilä recently achieved a mechanical completion at the Tornio Manga LNG terminal in Northern Finland, an area with harsh weather conditions. When in commercial operation, the LNG terminal will serve shipping and road transportation companies, power and heat utilities, as well as other industrial and mining companies – while creating a diversified fuel market and enabling growth in northern Europe.
"Wärtsilä has the expertise to establish LNG and multipurpose terminals even in challenging areas – for example in Arctic conditions. We see gas as an integral part of today's energy mix, and a driver of sustainable business growth. The diversity created by LNG already enables the switch to alternative fuels. By providing high-quality LNG infrastructure solutions, we can offer better reliability, flexibility and profitability to energy and marine customers alike," Eykerman concludes.
Caption: When in commercial operation after spring 2018, the Tornio Manga LNG terminal in Finland will supply gas to a local stainless steel mill, and LNG to other users in the Nordic region.

Record Store Day 2016 official release list revealed: The releases slated for this year's Record Store Day were announced today (March 8) during a press conference at the legendary Electric Lady Studios in New York City. This year's RSD will be celebrated at indie record stores throughout the U.S. on Saturday, April 16.
Check out the complete list here.
Record Store Day: Northumbria University to host Vinyl Record Fair: To mark Record Store Day on Saturday, April 16, the university is hosting a Vinyl Record Fair in its Ellison Building, promising a selection of old and new records covering all genres as well as some exclusive record store day releases. If you have a record player and are looking for some new music to spin, you're sure to not leave empty handed as a huge range of records will be available, including a number of rare finds, as sellers flock from all over to set up shop.
Josh Rosenthal Announces Record Store Of The Mind Book Tour: Josh Rosenthal, a Grammy-nominated producer and the founder of San Francisco-based label Tompkins Square, is going on tour to promote his first book, Record Store of the Mind, this April. The book is a sort of amalgam of memoir-ish stories and music criticism, wherein Rosenthal shares anecdotes from his 30 years of experience in the industry combined with yarns about his favorite artists and their works.
Why This Popular Designer Is Devoted to Promoting Album Covers on Instagram: Stefan Sagmeister: Vinyl went from being an interesting mass medium contained in a 12-inch sleeve, to the smaller and often less desirable version of the CD cover, and now back to the 12-inch format. The difference to the '80s is that it's now a niche medium with much less money involved, which allows for higher quality of [design] work, as fewer people are involved.
Crosley to open vinyl pressing plant: Let's just hope the records are better than the decks. Crosley Radio, the maligned faux-vintage turntable manufacturer, will open a record pressing plant next year. "We've been selling record players for years," Crosley's CEO Bo LeMastus told ARCARacing. "So getting in the record-pressing business is a natural extension of what we've already been doing. There isn't a lot of record-pressing equipment out there, so we're buying some. Now, we'll be able to take a recording, make a stamp, press out a vinyl record and package it to completion."
Music City Record Convention Debut Event, May 15: The Music City Record Convention will debut on May 15, 2016 in the Parlor Room at The Nashville Palace. Dozens of vendors from all over the southeast will have 1000's of records and other music collectables for sale, filling an area larger than a basketball court. Regular admission will be $5 (kids get in free) and Nashville Boogie attendees get in free.

COVID-19 vaccines can add an extra day to women's menstrual cycles
Photo by Ed Us on Unsplash
COVID vaccinations may temporarily lengthen a woman's menstrual cycle, a new study reveals. Researchers found that women receiving one dose of a coronavirus vaccine during their menstrual cycle saw their cycle increase by up to one day in comparison to unvaccinated women.
The study, funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH), finds the changes in cycles affects the time between bleeding, but not the period of bleeding itself.
Still within the 'normal' range?
Study authors, led by Dr. Alison Edelman from the Oregon Health & Science University in Portland, confirmed that it is not uncommon for menstrual cycles to vary from month to month and the increase they found was "well within the range of normal" variability. Edelman adds that further research is necessary to determine how COVID vaccines could influence other menstrual characteristics such as pain, mood changes and the heaviness of flow.
"It is reassuring that the study found only a small, temporary menstrual change in women," says Dr. Diana Bianchi, the director of the NIH's Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, in a media release.
"These results provide, for the first time, an opportunity to counsel women about what to expect from COVID-19 vaccination so they can plan accordingly."
Bianchi notes that there has been little research on how COVID vaccines or vaccines for other diseases could potentially influence the menstrual cycle. In a bid to understand why the changes occur, the team analyzed data from the fertility tracking app Natural Cycles.
To get an accurate reading, users have to input data on their temperature and menstrual cycles. For vaccinated women, researchers looked at data from three consecutive cycles before the patients received the vaccine and from three more consecutive cycles after — including the cycle or cycles in which their vaccination took place. For unvaccinated participants, researchers collected their data from six consecutive cycles.
Menstrual cycle length can last up to 2 days longer in some cases
Of the 3,959 individuals in the study, 2,403 were vaccinated and 1,556 were unvaccinated. Most of the vaccinated app users received either the Pfizer or Moderna vaccines. On average, the first vaccination dose displayed a connection to a 0.71-day increase in a woman's cycle length. A second COVID vaccine dose increased cycle length by 0.91 days.
Also Read When Are the 2022 Winter Olympics — and Everything Else You Need to Know About the Beijing Games
There were no changes in the number of menstrual bleeding days for the vaccinated patients and the researchers did not detect any significant change in the cycle length for unvaccinated app users. However, 358 app users who received two doses of the coronavirus vaccine during the same menstrual cycle experienced a noticeably larger average increase in their cycle length — lasting up to two days longer.
According to the researchers, this change appeared to decrease in the following cycles, which suggests that the menstrual changes are temporary and will go away shortly after vaccination. Bianchi and the team adds that the International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics classifies a change in cycle length as "normal" if the change is less than eight days.
The study is published in the journal Obstetrics & Gynecology.

The Treblinka Death Camp Trials
Associated Press clipping from the 1965 Treblinka Trial
The first SS man brought to trial for war crimes committed in Treblinka was Josef (Sepp) Hirtreiter in 1951.
During earlier interrogations in July 1945 in Frankfurt Hirtreiter was asked questions about the euthanasia program at the Hadamar euthanasia killing centre, Hirtreiter disclosed information death camps near Trawniki in Poland, and former members of Hadamar who had served in these camps. He was released due to lack of evidence.
He was rearrested and brought to trial in Frankfurt am Main in March 1951, at his trial he was recognised by Sawek Warszawski, who left for dead in a burial pit, survived.Hirtrieier was found guilty of war crimes and was sentenced to life imprisonment on 3 March 1951.
Among the crimes of which he was found guilty of were beating two prisoners until they were unconscious, because money had been found on them, then hanging them by their feet and finally killing them with a shot in the head: killing many young children ages one and one –half to two, during the unloading of transports, by seizing them by the feet and smashing their heads against the boxcars.
The second trial of Treblinka staff was held in Dusseldorf between 12 October 1964 and 24 August 1965, and was known as the First Treblinka trial, as a number of accused were on trial.
Eleven former camp guards, one Kurt Kuttner died before the trial commenced, were brought to trial, amongst those on trial was Kurt Franz the last Commandant of Treblinka.

When Franz was arrested a search by police of his apartment discovered a photo album called Schone Zeiten. In this album among family photographs, and service in Italy, were photographs of his days in euthanasia and photographs of the Treblinka death camp.
The second Treblinka trial was also held in Dusseldorf, of Franz Paul Stangl, the second Commandant of Treblinka, who had also been the commandant of Sobibor death camp. For technical reasons he was only tried for his crimes at Treblinka.

The trial commenced on 13 May 1970 and on 22 December 1970 he was sentenced to life imprisonment, for the co-responsibility in the murder of 900,000 people during his supervision of the death camp.
Stangl died of a heart attack in Dusseldorf prison on 28 June 1971, whilst awaiting the result of his appeal, having conducted a series of interviews with Gitta Sereny.
Sereny wrote I think he died because he had finally, however briefly, faced himself and told the truth- it was a monumental effort to reach that fleeting moment when he became the man he should have been.
Stangl Trial Judgment
Of the former Ukrainian guards who had served at Treblinka, Fedor Fedorenko was deported to Russia from the USA where he had emigrated to, in December 1984. He was sentenced to death after a ten- day public trial in June 1986. His execution by firing squad was announced in July 1986.
On 16 February 1987 John (Ivan) Demjanuk was tried in Jerusalem accused of being "Ivan the Terrible" of Treblinka after being deported from Cleveland in the USA.
He was found guilty on 18 April 1988 and was sentenced to death on 25 April 1988.
Following a successful appeal, he was released as it was clear that Ivan the Terrible, was indeed Ivan Marchenko, and the court in Israel decided to release him. However, it was evident that there was conclusive proof that Demjanuk had been a guard in the death camp at Sobibor.

Q: Howto get 'custom web server' working? IIS7.5 VS2010
Possible Duplicate:
SQL Server 2008 R2 Express Error ASP.NET

When I run a web project in VS2010 I receive the following error (I have installed SQL Server 2008 R2 Express on Windows 7):
A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while
establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or
was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that
SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections. (provider: SQL
Network Interfaces, error: 26 - Error Locating Server/Instance
Specified)
It's seems like I found what causes the error, but I have no clue why.
For my website I created a website with some virtual folders and applications. I need an url in my logic. Therefor I use a hostheader (like http://server.name.tld)
In VS2010 I configured Property pages -> start options -> use custom web server with the url (same as the earlier mentioned host header).
If I do that I get the error.
If I use use Property pages -> start options -> default web server, it seems that I get a connection to the db.
But I need the use of the host header.
What do I need to do, to get the 'custom web server' working?
I already made changes in the hosts file (127.0.0.1  http://server.name.tld)
[update]
Anyone knowing good tutorials, sites, books knows about subjects like this (all on the use of host headers, subdomains, host files, dns, etc.). What knowledge is relevant?
[update 2 24-3-2012]
Tried today also with a test virtual machine with windows server 2008. Still getting the error.
Also made a test web application, without an IIS site an without a host-header. That one works just fine (using the same connectstring). Also on the VM.
I am lost. I really need someone who can exchange some knowledge to me in this field ...

A: red cheeks
Found the problem. Web.config configured with a session db, but no session db created and wasn't planning any longer to do so. Forget to turn it off ...


Millennials have been burdened with "apocalyptic" levels of debt due to government overspending and could be the first generation to have a lower quality of life than their parents, a report published on Wednesday warns.
The research, "Who Will Care for Generation Y?" was carried out by Thatcherite think tank the Center for Policy Studies (CPS).
It accused so-called "baby boomers" – those born in the decades following WWII – of making unfinanced promises on benefits and pensions and leaving millennials – those born between 1980 and 2000 – to pick up the bill.
The CPS said Britain's liabilities amount to £6 trillion, or £221,000 per household, as politicians continue to fawn over baby-boomers and older pensioners who are more likely to vote.
The think tank's report focused on the Treasury's Whole of Government Accounts (WGA), which include many of the unfinanced pledges or liabilities baby boomers have made in recent years.
It noted Britain's state pension is not accounted for in the WGA, despite being the UK's most substantial unfunded liability.This absence is ironic and troubling given that the HM Treasury has billed these accounts as transparent, it argued.
"The gap between the nation's assets and liabilities grew by an unsustainable 51 percent in the five years to end-March 2014, to £1,852 billion," he added.
Speaking to RT on Wednesday, left-of-center economist and anti-austerity campaigner Michael Burke said the CPS's report was a means of justifying further cuts.
"The timing of the report, in the run-up to Osborne's 'emergency Budget' where he will begin to implement austerity mark II is probably not a coincidence," he said.
Burke acknowledged Britain faces a fiscal emergency. However, he argued it differs from the one suggested by Chancellor George Osborne or the CPS.
"The deficit and the accumulation of debt are a product of weak growth and zero improvement in productivity," he said.
"Without that, they are condemned to have a worse standard of living than their parents," he added.
Angus Hanton of the Intergenerational Foundation told RT the CPS study confirms that Britain's younger generation will be heavily burdened with debt.
"The debts are like an iceberg – with the official government debt in view. But below the surface is a pension debt and set of hidden liabilities which are many times bigger," he said.
Hanton said short-termism and selfishness are the root cause of the problem. He argued Britain's"older generations and their politicians"have failed to heed the needs of younger generations.
"This is a worldwide problem caused by increases in life expectancies and a refusal by policymakers to think through the consequences," he said.
Hanton said "more systemic measures" than welfare cuts are needed to protect the interests of young people.
"One radical measure that would help would be to review the state pension so that it is only available to those who need is, as the Australians have done," he added.
Hanton stressed there are over 2 million over 60s in Britain living in homes with assets topping a million pounds.
He said millennials are "fed up" of the state paying out to all older people as if they were poor.

Our Host LuAn Mitchell interviews "Earth Angels." Are you an earth angel?
No, we're not talking about the doo wop song by Curtis Williams and the Penguins. This earth angel definition is something completely different. Though we think even Curtis Williams would agree that earth angels represent the very best of us. You may have come into contact with one, or maybe you even feel like one of these special people yourself. Earth Angels literally are known here on earth as those who spread and share their light as much as possible, and bring about help and positive change to this planet. They have no association with hate, intolerance, violence, or oppression; these types just want everyone to live in harmony and move on from our current problems on Earth, and they are doing their part, Big Time.

It is important that landlords remain up to date and fully information of all regulations that impact on their business. While many of these regulations make sense and create better living conditions for tenants, the fact that there are so many new regulations and updates to consider, places landlords under considerable pressure. Even landlords who are keen to fully comply with regulations sometimes struggle to remain up to date, but Williams of Petersfield aims to assist Petersfield landlords remain fully informed.
While there is no date announced for rented properties to have electrical installations tested every five years, it looks likely to be implemented soon. There have been various calls for this measure to be introduced over the year with the most recent occurring at the end of 2017. It is likely that this move, backed by a variety of working groups from leading industry bodies, has shaped the recent Government decision.
The plans were introduced by James Brokenshire, the Housing Secretary, alongside a package of measures which are aimed at improving the standard of building safety. It was also announced that there will be a consultation in building regulations, with this arising from the review undertaken by Dame Judith Hackitt. Very few people would argue against improving standards with respect to rental accommodation but there is a need to ensure that landlords can make these changes and alterations without harming their own business.
The news has been welcomed by the Electrical Safety First group, with their Director General Phil Buckle stating; "We are delighted the Government has finally recognised the importance of regular electrical checks in the private rental sector which protects both tenants and landlords. Electrical Safety First has led the charge for this to be made a legal requirement for UK homes and successfully lobbied for these to be introduced in the PRS in Scotland – with Wales and Northern Ireland set to follow suit." This is a group that has lobbied for these changes, so are understandably pleased with this outcome.
The organisation was quick to point out that their calls for these tests have been supported by 71% of MPs, which includes support from all political parties in the country. With this sort of backing, it was always likely that these changes would be passed, and it is another issue that Petersfield landlords will have to consider.
By itself, these additional checks on electrical appliances shouldn't cause too much bother but it is the fact that there are so many tests and checks for landlords to deal with which creates a problem. If you are a landlord in Petersfield who is struggling to remain fully informed about what you need to do to run your business, contact Williams of Petersfield. We are local lettings specialists and we are here to provide you with the support and guidance you need to run your business in an effective manner.
Are Landlords Selling Up? How Will This Impact On Property Market?
Even though there are many factors shaping the behaviour of the property market in England, there is consensus that a lack of affordable homes is a key factor. Brexit may be the issue that receives most media coverage but if there were more homes on the market, there would likely be more affordable homes and the level of pressure that buyers feel in the market would be lower.
At Williams of Petersfield, we know that many people have concerns about the property market, and they are keen to stay in touch with the latest news. You will also find that people are keen to hear predictions for the property market and information provided by the National Landlords Association is of interest to prospective buyers, property owners and even tenants.
The NLA conducted a poll of its members and they found that in the next 12 months, around 20% of landlords are looking to sell property. Of this group looking to sell their property, which equates to around 380,000 landlords, 45% of landlords are looking to sell flats or apartments.
This news is likely to be welcomed by first-time buyers. Flats and apartments are the properties most commonly bought by people stepping on to the property ladder for the first time, so if the market is flooded with these properties, first-time buyers should have a greater chance of buying.
Given that a crucial component of property prices being high is the fact that demand is greater than supply, a significant increase in the supply of properties could lead to prices falling. That is the hope of many people, but of course, when it comes to property prices, the market doesn't always behave in the manner that you expect it too.
While this report will be viewed as positive news by people looking to buy property, it will be concerning news for tenants and people priced out of the property market. Many people find the rental market challenging as it is but if the supply of flats and apartments to the market dropped significantly, there could be ramifications for the market.
It would be reasonable enough to assume that rental fees would rise, and many people would find themselves priced out of the rental market, never mind the property market. Also, with flats and apartments being popular in the rental market, there could be a significant fall in the supply of suitable homes.
There is no guarantee that these predictions will come true. It may be that landlords find it easier to say they intend to sell property in a survey than it is to sell in real life, but there is no denying that the property and rental market will be significantly impacted on if these changes come to pass.
No matter what your aims or ambitions are in the Petersfield property market, it makes sense to be fully informed. At Williams of Petersfield, we look forward to assisting you and if you require any guidance, get in touch and we will be keen to assist you.
Petersfield Landlords: Would Short Term Lettings Market Be Of Interest?
You could argue that Petersfield landlords have enough to consider and deal with given all the regulatory changes that have been imposed on the profession of late.
It is important that landlords keep up to date with all of the changes with respect to rules and regulations of their industry. There have been many changes in recent times but any landlord who felt that 2018 was going to be slightly easier will probably want to think again. As of the 1st of April 2018, there will be big changes relating to the Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rating for new lets.
The change is related to the Energy Efficiency (Private Rented Property) (England and Wales) Regulations of 2015 and the Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards or MEES, which are being introduced. The change comes into effect for new lets and renewals of tenancies from the 1st of April of 2018 and by the 1st of April 2020, this regulation will be applicable to all existing tenancies. The minimum rating for these tenancies will be an E rating and if a landlord doesn't comply with the regulations, they may face a civil penalty of up to £4,000.
It is essential that landlords are aware that there are grants and funding on offer to ensure they comply with the regulations. The exemptions can only exist for a maximum of five years and they are not able to be transferred over to another landlord.
There is a lot to be said for improving the energy efficiency rating of a property and this is true for landlords and tenants. A real benefit to the tenant comes with the fact that moving from a G rating to an E rating can lower the average annual heating bills by more than £1,000. This is something that will please a tenant and may help them stay in the property for a longer period. This will be of benefit to the landlord, minimising void periods and ensuring that they have less work to do.
A landlord can also take comfort in knowing that their property is in better condition, it's value should have improved and they will likely be able to raise rental fees with some justification.
We know that things are difficult for landlords at the moment and if you need any assistance or guidance, please get in touch with Williams of Petersfield and we will do our best to help you out. This is just one of the many changes that landlords have had to deal with but we are on hand to ensure you know what you need to know.


S. O. S. – Speaking of Seniors – At First, Client Blamed Us!
In March 2017, a client sent medical bills and other papers to me about her medical bills not getting paid. The client is from La Porte, Indiana.
The papers were limited and did not tell the whole story. I reviewed the papers and wrote a letter which would have corrected the problem if the information that I had were a complete picture.
But, more papers and more phone conversations with the client followed. She thought that our agency or the insurance company that we recommended was causing problems with her medical bills and Medicare. But, as I got more information, I realized that this was an unusual case of mixed up Medicare numbers and that Medicare was solely responsible for the problem.
I helped the client to file a complaint to an appropriate government office. On July 17, 2017, I received and read a letter from a Medicare officer to our client in which Medicare confessed to causing the Medicare claims problem and promised to fix it promptly.
My efforts saved the client from being sued for bills that she really did not owe. All the help that I gave the client was FREE OF CHARGE. This insurance agency "goes the extra mile" to help our clients when such wrongful billing occurs. Does your insurance agent or agency give this high level of service to senior citizen clients? If not, why not switch to an agency that does?
Note: Woodrow Wilcox is the senior medical bill case worker at Senior Care Insurance Services in Merrillville, Indiana. He has saved clients of that insurance agency over one million dollars by fighting mistakes and fraud in the Medicare system. He wrote the book SOLVING MEDICARE PROBLEM$ (www.SolvingMedicareProblems.com) and posts articles at www.WoodrowWilcox.com.

KnownHost VPS/Dedicated
Linux VPS/Dedicated - General
End of the line for CentOS
Thread starter Jon Hill
Jon Hill
The future of the CentOS Project is CentOS Stream, and over the next year we'll be shifting focus from CentOS Linux, the rebuild of Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), to CentOS Stream...
CentOS Project shifts focus to CentOS Stream – Blog.CentOS.org
How does this affect us? How does this affect KnownHost's plans for the future?
ChadB
I came here looking for the same information. The more I read, I think KnownHost will take their time deciding and planning for any migrations. We are on 7.9 currently. According to Red Hat, Maintenance Support 2 ends in June 2024. So they have 3 years to develop and implement a plan. I have about half a dozen CentOS VMs in-house running Ad-Hoc services, so I have to do the same. I will likely move to another distro (Debian) for those.
However for KnownHost to simplify the migration of existing CentOS boxes, I would expect them to choose another distro in the RHEL family. With corporations looking for options, Rocky Linux may get a bunch of financial support now - https://rockylinux.org/ and become what CentOS was, a stable downstream RHEL option.
I was suspecting that everyone would be asked to migrate to CloudLinux. I do not know how KnownHost VPS Hosting differs from their KVM Cloud Servers. Why does KnownHost offer both? What use cases are most appropriate for each?

Howdy @Jon Hill and @ChadB ,
So overall we're not fairly concerned with the CentOS developments and this is why.
Announcing Open-sourced & Community-Driven RHEL Fork by CloudLinux
Red Hat just killed CentOS as we know it. In response, CloudLinux plans to release a free, open-sourced, 1:1 binary compatible fork of RHEL® 8.
blog.cloudlinux.com
I've known Igor for quite a few years now and have no doubt that with their infrastructure they will be able to produce a solid CentOS replacement to keep things moving forward. We've also been in contact with the other vendors and the general consensus is this is nothing to panic over, but it is a massive shift.
Regarding why we offer both OpenVZ and KVM is mainly due to the capabilities. OpenVZ is a para virtualization that does not provide it's own kernel. By doing so we're able to pass along hardware level speeds with little overhead. This keeps the product competitive while fulfilling the vast majority of a customers needs. On the basics, they are SSD based hardware nodes with localized storage. Our KVM offering on the other hand is fully virtualized with its own custom kernel per VPS. This can allow more control (KernelCare, CloudLinux os, custom kernel modules) over OpenVZ but it is also a true cloud product. We use a distributed storage architecture for our Cloud product line so your data doesn't reside on a single server, or a single storage array but is striped and mirrored across hundreds of SSD's and dozens of storage nodes.
Hope this helps answer your questions.
Reactions: ChadB
Thanks, Daniel. So KVM runs multiple OS instances on a hypervisor. OpenVZ is a single kernel instance with shared resources.
To put things in terms that a customer might care about, KVM is more secure, allows more control (OS customization and configuration), and uses much faster storage (striped SSD would be faster than plain SSD). I did some googling just now and read that OpenVZ servers are frequently oversold, so are typically cheaper (but provide less reliable performance). Is that a fair summary?
I may be an outlier, but to me, your OpenVZ and KVM offerings are both cloud service offerings, so naming them VPS Hosting vs. Cloud Hosting is confusing. How is Cloud Hosting more cloudy than your OpenVZ offering?
I see that the website says that Cloud Hosting is KVM Cloud Hosting, which is helpful, but I don't see mention of OpenVZ in the description of the VPS Hosting. It might be a useful sales tool to have a section on the VPS Hosting page explaining how the KVM offering might be of interest to people who need even better performance, control, security, customizability.
BTW, I think my VPS is running faster on the Georgia node than it did in Texas. I haven't benchmarked it, but it feels faster when I am interacting with webpages.
Also, KnownHost support is fantastic. In case you didn't know.
Jon Hill said:
In simplified terms that's correct.
Not necessarily. It's a very common misconception that KVM services cannot be oversold. Pretty much any technology can be oversold, and for the prices that most all services are sold for on the market, speaking frankly, they have to be over provisioned to make a profit on. However, the difference comes in to effect on how they are managed and handled on the backend. For example, at KnownHost we continually monitor all servers for resource usage and balance customer needs to ensure performance.
So, Cloud has been bastardized a lot in marketing, which causes a lot of confusion. In the truest term something that is 'cloud' is distributed across multiple physical machines. For example, our OpenVZ offerings are located on a single machine both for storage needs and compute needs, where as our Cloud KVM is just that. Your KVM instance is running on a compute node, and your data is stored on our distributed storage architecture which spreads that data across dozens of storage nodes. You get extra redundancy in the fact that it's something that is very resilient to hardware failures, and since the data is distributed even if the compute node which is serving your KVM decides to go up in smoke, no data has to be moved to boot your instance on a new compute node which makes recovery exponentially faster. The downside being, it's a much more expensive back-end architecture and thus is reflected in the price.
I'll take a look over it and see if we can't add a few more descriptors to things. I've got a few items in the works as well to announce soon
That's good to hear, we've done a lot of work to upgrade our network and being in Atlanta with staff on-site has allowed us to really drill down on a few topics. We don't want to be satisfied with where we are at, and will continue to improve and expand
That's awesome, I'm glad to hear it!
Ah, so the KVM setup allows for rapid VM migration when things go awry. Do you generally keep VMs on statically allocated nodes until something goes wrong, or do they move around on a routine basis in order to optimize resource consumption and performance?
It's a mix of both, nothing in the computer world is ever a set it and forget it. Every technology requires continual upkeep and maintenance to ensure good performance.

It's Friday, the end of February. Wow, another month down 🙂 18 more days until I reach the 6 month sober mark. How crazy is that?
As I read other posts, they bring me back to my day 1's and my day 30's and my day 60. It's a good reminder, it really is. This is hard stuff we are dealing with, and I never want to forget what those early (early) days felt like because I never want to see them again. And when a few days go by where I hardly think about drinking (now don't get that confused with "don't think about drinking" because I still do, daily), it's easy to think we are 'cured.' We know damn well we are not and never will be. We know NOT to get complacent and reading posts of early sobriety keep me focused. They remind me of where I do not want to be.
I am so very grateful for each new day because each one puts me that much farther away from day 1. I can't definitely say "yes, I feel so much better" or anything like that. My energy levels are about the same. Now, my desire to do stuff is more, that's for sure. I have so much more time on my hands where I can actually get stuff done. For the first time since I can remember, I clean the kitchen after dinner instead of leaving the dishes for, oh, I don't know – the weekend!! LOL Of course, I am exercising (in training for my half marathon) which I would not be doing if I was drinking. I read many posts where they speak of how much different they feel or how much better they feel. Maybe I'm just not there yet?
Have a wonderful weekend all. If you would like someone to chat with, feel free to email me at danglingdebb@gmail.com.

One day at a time is absolutely right. 6 Months is an amazing accomplishment.
amazing. you give me hope that i was lacking in my latest post. "one day at a time" I must remember that.
Thank you and congrats on day 90!
Hi! Any time I can help, my friend. That is a goal of my posts 🙂 Thanks for reading.
Congrats on nearing the 6 months. I was still in the in-my-head-constantly-banging-on mode at that time. It was a while later when it started to quieten down. I'm less than 3 months away from 10 years – if you'd have said that to me at 6 months I'd have laughed outright into your face – I mean there was no way I could think of 10 years. But I'm here. I still think about drink everyday but in the context of "I'm an alcoholic, what can I do about that today" – not drink for a start, stay mentally, emotionally and spiritually healthy and do something to help other alcoholics get or stay sober.
Keep putting one foot in front of the other on your trudge on the "road to happy destiny" and your 6 months will turn to years to decades of sobriety. What an inspiration to hear of someone making that walk.
You inspire me, truly! Thanks for reading my post! It's a struggle to be sure, but each day it lessens just a bit.


Devotees dressed up as Ram and Hanuman treated weary commuters to delicious Panaka (jaggery juice) on the roads as part of Rama Navami celebrations in the city on Saturday.
Dressed in striking red and green, they engaged with residents near various Hanuman and Ram temples in different parts of the city. Large crowds gathered at the Anjaneya temple near Anand Rao Circle to witness the devotees in divine costumes.
Many religious and cultural organisations opened roadside stalls and offered Panaka and buttermilk to the public. Temples in various parts of the city also offered Kosambri (sprout salad), buttermilk and Panaka to devotees.
Special puja and religious programmes marking the festival were conducted in Ram and Anjaneya temples where the idols of Ram, Sita and Lakshmana were decorated. The festival kick-starts a month-long musical and cultural fiesta when singers and instrumentalists give daily concerts.
