When I saw these bold bright beautiful hats posted by my favourite Instamums Dress Like A Mum and Mother Pukka I was smitten and I knew that I had to have one for my daughter too. I stalked the Little Hotdog Watson Instagram for a while decided which one I wanted the most and I chose the Cub hat with its bright pink colour and bold pineapple design, I love how it has the contrasting black and white panda design on the underside too! I think the mini ears on top swung it for me as im a sucker for anything with ears on the top. It is the perfect accessory for any mini fashionista.
My daughter will be 2 in a couple of weeks so I got it with the idea that I would wrap it up for her birthday but on a bright sunny day I caved and got it out, oops.
My favourite thing about these hats is how unique they are! I am bored of all the ones on the high-street as they are all so… predictable, Little Hotdog Watson hats are definitely not that. I now have my eye on the gorgeous Globetrotter hat! as it is completely adorable with the contrasting bow on the back and it ties underneath like a bonnet, it's the cutest! I got the size 18-36 months which should last my daughter next year too so I think that the price of £19.99 is very reasonable seeing as it will last us 2 summers.
Little Hotdog Watson are definitely the brand to watch I expect them to be huge, they just won Best New Brand at the Dot to Dot London trade show which is an amazing achievement so a part from the obvious cool points these hats are super practical too. They do a lot to protect our little one's from the sun and they do it whilst looking super cool so what's not to love! I would defiantly wear one if they made them in adult sizes.
Plus Points
- Unisex
- Fashionable
- 'Goldilocks' fabric prevents sweaty hat hair is designed to keep your little ones head the perfect temperature. The fabric was originally designed for astronauts so it doesn't get much cooler than that!
- Very light and fold ups small, perfect to fit in my bag.
- UPF 50+ provides very high protection from UVA and UVB rays.
- Special 'Buzz Off' odorless treated fabric is safe for children's skin and repels insects away from the hat. (lasts up to 30 washes).
- Machine washable.
- The Cub hat has a neck flap for extra protection from the sun.
- Did I mention they look really cool!
Overall I can't recommend these hats enough and I encourage you to go check them out! – Jodie x

News of the World: four phone hacking test cases approved
Four test cases for alleged victims of phone hacking by the News of the World should go ahead later in the year, a High Court judge has said.
Mr Justice Vos said they could include actress Sienna Miller, who has already been offered a £100,000 settlement.
The cases could create framework for action from some 91 alleged victims.
It comes as Scotland Yard confirmed they were considering a criminal investigation into claims journalists paid police officers for information.
The judge said the four test cases would possibly also concern interior designer Kelly Hoppen and sports agent Sky Andrew, because the investigations were well-advanced and covered a range of issues and levels of damage.
The main issues were whether there was interception, how much of it went on, what was done with the information and the degree of damage suffered, Mr Justice Vos said.
Outlining the advantages of holding test cases, he said the 20 cases going through the courts were generating thousands of documents.
"My experience of thousands of documents is that there is just half a dozen that actually matter."
He added: "Otherwise we will be going on forever. Some people may want to but I don't," he said.
Hugh Tomlinson QC, who represents a number of claimants including Miss Miller, told the judge the case was not just about money.
"Damages are an aspect, but when private information is involved, the kind of relief people are looking for goes beyond simply monetary compensation," he said.
The court also heard that actor Jude Law was expected to issue legal proceedings shortly.
Lawyers are still working out the extent of the phone hacking relating to Miss Miller, who has twice been in a relationship with Mr Law, first from 2003-2005.
Mr Justice Vos said Miss Miller appeared in many articles in the News of the World from 2005-6 and it was a possibility they arose from phone hacking.
But News Group's QC, Michael Silverleaf, said it would be an abuse of process for her to continue to pursue the case as she "cannot realistically recover more than we are offering".
He said: "The civil litigation process does not exist for people to vent their feelings in public.
"It provides a remedy for wrongs. We have admitted the wrong and agreed to pay her the maximum sum."
Meanwhile, lawyers for Ms Hoppen allege the phone hacking continued into 2009.
It is known there are 91 alleged victims of phone hacking but it is rumoured there may be as many as 5,000.
The Metropolitan Police told the court it was currently indexing 9,200 pages of notebooks belonging to private detective Glenn Mulcaire who was jailed over phone tapping in 2007.
News International recently apologised for "voicemail interception" between 2004 and 2006 and announced it was setting up a compensation fund to deal with "justifiable claims fairly and efficiently".
The BBC's legal correspondent Clive Coleman said more might emerge about which victims will accept compensation under the scheme, who will fight on, and how many more are bringing civil claims.
The BBC understands News International was ready to settle claims with eight people, including former Culture Secretary Tessa Jowell, her estranged husband, lawyer David Mills, Ms Hoppen, Mr Gray, and Joan Hammell, a former aide to ex-deputy prime minister Lord Prescott.
On Thursday, senior reporter James Weatherup became the third journalist from the newspaper to be questioned. He was released on bail until September.
The potential new police investigation comes after former News of the World editor Rebekah Brooks (nee Wade) told a Commons committee in 2003 that journalists "had paid police for information in the past".
But last week Mrs Brooks denied she had any "knowledge of any specific cases".
In a letter to Keith Vaz MP, chairman of the home affairs committee, Assistant Commissioner Cressida Dick said police planned "to conduct a scoping exercise to establish whether there are now any grounds for beginning a criminal investigation", following the 2003 comments.
News International said it was not currently commenting on the matter.

Improving Application Security while Testing Software
Today, I went to the talk Security Testing: How it fits in the QA Cycle " sponsored by the Software Association of Oregon (SAO). The talk focused on software vulnerabilities, particularly around web applications and how to catch these before a product is released. Much of the emphasis about security has been towards network security (e.g. building more effective firewalls). But, less emphasis has been placed on securing individual software programs, leaving them vulnerable to people populating input fields with malicious code. This code can sometimes be stored and execute functions as if it were the trusted application (e.g. a program that searches bank data and transfers money without the bank or respective customer's knowledge). Thanks to the speakers Mike Hryekewicz and Brandon Edwards, I along with many other audience members had our eyes opened to software security risks and ways to address these as testers. Here are some helpful resources that provide additional information.
The first site is Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP) at http://www.owasp.org/index.php/Main_Page . OWASP is a non-profit organization deigned to make security issues visible so that businesses can make appropriate decisions. A wide range of projects, videos, conferences, downloads and articles appear on the site. The site is also available in Spanish. This resource is mainly geared towards training developers and software testers. OWSAP provides a useful application, WebGoat, to give developers and testers hands on training with a sample web application with security gaps. For the novice, the OWSAP Educational Project presents monthly meeting and presentations to download. The PowerPoint presentation "Education Module: Why WebAppSec Matters.ppt" provides a simple and chilling overview of where website attacks are happening and what needs to be done.
The second site, OnGuard Online at http://www.onguardonline.gov/ provides helpful tips on protecting information when interacting with the Internet and tips on how to deal with information when it has been compromised. This site is maintained by the federal government. Games, Topics and videos provide a multi-faceted approach to learning about Internet Security.
As a software tester and a concerned consumer, I plan on visiting both the Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP) and the OnGuard Online sites frequently.

The Elgar Companion to the Chicago School of Economics
Edited by Ross B. Emmett
Chapter 8: Edward P. Lazear
Morley Gunderson
Morley Gunderson Edward Lazear (1948–) was born and grew up in Los Altos, California. At that time, the area was not part of Silicon Valley as it is today, but rather was predominantly fruit farming. As a youth, Eddie picked apricots and that early experience inspired him in two areas: piecerates as incentive compensation and university as an alternative to physical labor. Responding to these incentives, he received his AB and AM degrees from the University of California at Los Angeles in 1971 and his PhD in economics from Harvard University in 1974. Upon graduation he taught at the University of Chicago's Department of Economics and then at the Graduate School of Business, where he was the Brown Professor of Urban and Labor Economics from 1985 to 1992. In 1992, he accepted an appointment at the Stanford Graduate School of Business and in 1995 became the Jack Steele Parker Professor of Human Resources, Management and Economics. Currently at Stanford, he is also the Morris Arnold Cox Senior Fellow at the Hoover Institution as well as a Senior Fellow at the Stanford Institute for Economic Policy Research. He has been a Research Associate of the NBER since 1974; the Founding Editor of the Journal of Labor Economics from 1982 to 2001; Founder of the Society of Labor Economists in 1996 and its president in 1997–98; an elected Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Science in 2000 as well as the Econometric Society in 1988; a member of the...

Hello creative friends.
I'm Mel Byron and I live in London, UK with my husband and a ginger cat. Actually, he's not our ginger cat, but he liked us, so he moved in.
I'm fascinated by creativity and what creativity means to different people. What really fascinates me is the things people get up to when they're not working. There's a whole world of people out there, creating, making, singing, writing and goodness knows what else, whilst holding down a job and other responsibilities. What motivates us to do this? Could we be professionals.
I've worked for years in the publishing industry, and what I've realised is that authors are just people like you and me. But they did it. They didn't just dream about writing, they went ahead and did it. It takes confidence and commitment, but creating something worthwhile, both for you and an audience, can be done.
Please join me on this journey into creativity and learning about it, and let's see what we find and what we end up creating.

Court of Appeals of New Mexico
January 23, 2018
STATE OF NEW MEXICO, Plaintiff-Appellee,v.LAWRENCE BRANCH, Defendant-Appellant.
FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF SAN JUAN COUNTY William C.
Birdsall, District Judge
H. Balderas, Attorney General Maris Veidemanis, Assistant
Attorney General Santa Fe, NM for Appellee
Bennett J. Bauer, Chief Public Defender Mary Barket,
Assistant Appellate Defender Santa Fe, NM for Appellant
M. VANZI, Chief Judge
Defendant appeals his convictions for aggravated battery with
a deadly weapon, negligent use of a deadly weapon, and
aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. On May 23, 2016, we
issued an opinion affirming in part, reversing in part, and
remanding for the district court to document its findings
related to the serious violent offense designation. State
v. Branch, 2016-NMCA-071, 387 P.3d 250. The Supreme
Court granted a writ of certiorari and conditional
cross-petition on July 28, 2016. Order at 1, State v.
Branch, No. S-1-SC-35951 (July 28, 2016). The Court
subsequently quashed the writ of certiorari on
Defendant's petition, and quashed and remanded this case
to this Court on the State's conditional cross-petition
after deciding issues related to whether the firearm
enhancements on sentences for aggravated assault with a
deadly weapon violated double jeopardy in State v.
Baroz, 2017-NMSC-030, ¶¶ 20-27, 404 P.3d 769.
In that case, our Supreme Court noted that "[t]he
legislative policy behind the firearm sentence enhancement is
that a noncapital felony, committed with a firearm, should be
subject to greater punishment than a noncapital felony
committed without a firearm because it is more
reprehensible." Id. ¶ 27. Consequently,
because the Legislature intended to authorize an enhanced
punishment when a firearm is used in the commission of
aggravated assault, the Court held that "[t]he sentence
enhancement does not run afoul of double jeopardy."
On remand, we withdraw the opinion issued on May 23, 2016,
and substitute this opinion in its stead.
As we noted in our original opinion, there is no question
that Defendant Lawrence Branch shot and injured his adult
son, Joshua Branch, with a .44 caliber revolver. Defendant
confessed to the shooting and was charged with aggravated
battery with a deadly weapon and negligent use of a deadly
weapon. He was also charged with aggravated assault with a
deadly weapon for allegedly assaulting his wife, Patricia
Branch, on the theory that Defendant's conduct caused
Patricia to reasonably believe that he was about to batter
her as well. The key issue at trial was whether the shooting,
which was the basis for all three charges, was in self
The jury ultimately convicted Defendant on all counts.
Penalties for aggravated battery and aggravated assault were
each increased by one year pursuant to the statutory firearm
enhancement. NMSA 1978, § 31-18-16(A) (1993). The
district court then adjudged the aggravated assault
conviction to be a "serious violent offense, "
which limits Defendant's eligibility for good time credit
for time served in a state prison. See NMSA 1978,
§ 33-2-34(A)(1) (2006, amended 2015).
On appeal, Defendant argues that (1) insufficient evidence
and instructional error require reversal of the aggravated
assault conviction, (2) multiple punishments violate
Defendant's right to be free from double jeopardy, (3)
discovery and evidentiary rulings undermined Defendant's
ability to present a defense and to confront the State's
evidence with respect to all charges, and (4) the serious
violent offense designation to the aggravated assault
conviction lacks necessary findings. In our original opinion,
we affirmed Defendant's convictions for aggravated
assault and aggravated battery, vacated his conviction for
negligent use of a deadly weapon, and remanded for the
district court to document its findings related to the
serious violent offense designation. The Supreme Court order
quashed the writ of certiorari on the questions presented in
Defendant's petition on the above issues, and they are no
longer subject to further consideration. See Order
at 2, State v. Branch, No. S-1-SC-35951 (Dec. 18,
2017). On remand, and in light of Baroz, however, we
hold that Defendant's firearm enhancements for aggravated
assault and aggravated battery do not violate double jeopardy
and that the district court's decision in this regard is
By all accounts, Joshua and Defendant spent the morning of
May 7, 2012, arguing in the front yard, as they often did,
about how best to care for the property they occupied in
separate trailers. Joshua, who was a college student in the
spring of 2012, left in the middle of the argument to take an
exam. The argument resumed upon his return and ended when
Defendant fired a single shot, striking Joshua in the thigh.
Joshua's injuries resulted in five surgeries and ongoing
issues with circulation and limb function. He was on crutches
when he testified for the State at trial a year later.
The specific circumstances surrounding the shooting were
contested below. The State's witnesses testified that
Defendant was visibly upset-"aggravated,
agitated"-that morning. When Joshua finished his exam
and returned to his parents' trailer, Defendant, with
"hatred in his voice, " told him to "get . . .
off the property." The two then shouted back and forth
before Joshua attempted to leave. Joshua and Patricia walked
toward the concrete slab that surrounded the steps to the
porch. He had plans to meet his girlfriend for lunch, and
Patricia, attempting to ease the tension, told him to do
that. But as Joshua and Patricia talked near the front steps,
Defendant walked past them into the house.
At some point prior, two guns-including a .44 caliber super
blackhawk (described as a "hand cannon" by one
witness)-were moved from their usual spot in a closet at the
back of the trailer and stashed in Defendant's recliner,
which faced the trailer's front entrance. Defendant armed
himself with the .44 within seconds of entering the trailer
and then walked back to the front door. Steven Hickman, a
family friend who was visiting the Branch home that day,
testified that Defendant "went to the door and then
[said] 'get . . . out of here' and then bang, just
like that, that quick, the gun was fired."
Patricia testified that she had her hand on Joshua's
shoulder when he was shot. The two were facing one another
when she looked up and saw Defendant standing in the doorway
with the .44. She hollered, "No!" And Defendant
fired. She saw the "fire come out" of the gun, felt
something hit her leg, and saw Joshua fall. She testified
that she "thought he was going to shoot all of us."
While Joshua lay bleeding on the pavement, Defendant came out
of the trailer and placed a set of keys on the dash of a car
that was parked under the carport. He then looked over to
Patricia, turned, and walked up the road, stopping only to
dispose of his pocket knife in a flower pot on the way out.
Patricia did not see Defendant again that day.
Defendant's version of events differed in some respects.
He testified that he was sitting with Patricia on a swing in
the yard when Joshua returned from school. Defendant, who no
longer wanted to argue, told Joshua that he would leave. When
Defendant stood to do so, he saw that Joshua was furious. As
Defendant walked toward the trailer, he saw Joshua and
Patricia coming toward him. He entered the house and saw
Joshua outside, nearing the porch and then reaching for the
rail by the door. Defendant was frightened because he knew
that Joshua was a "violent kid" with post traumatic
stress disorder (PTSD) who had been in several fights before,
including a fight in the military. He armed himself with the
.44 and shot Joshua, who then released the rail and fell to
the concrete. Additional facts will be included as needed in
the analysis that follows.
Instructional Error and Sufficiency of the
Assault consists of "any unlawful act, threat or
menacing conduct which causes another person to reasonably
believe that he is in danger of receiving an immediate
battery[.]" NMSA 1978, § 30-3-1(B) (1963). The
offense is aggravated when, as in this case, it is committed
with a deadly weapon. NMSA 1978, § 30-3-2(A) (1963).
Defendant argues that Section 30-3-1(B) required the State to
prove something more than general criminal intent, which was
the instruction given to the jury. Specifically, Defendant
argues that the State had to prove "specific intent to
frighten or put someone in fear of an imminent battery[,
]" or at the very least, that one charged with violating
Section 30-3-1(B) did so recklessly. Reading limiting
principles of this sort into the statute would theoretically
ensure some nexus between a defendant and his victim, thereby
preventing what might otherwise amount to a construction of
the assault statute that criminalizes the infliction of
emotional distress for every bystander that is reasonably put
in fear by the commission of a nearby crime.
Defendant's argument is characterized as a sufficiency of
the evidence challenge, as a challenge to the jury
instructions themselves, and as an assertion of ineffective
assistance of trial counsel in failing to request more
demanding jury instructions. "Our review for sufficiency
of the evidence is deferential to the jury's findings. We
review direct and circumstantial evidence in the light most
favorable to the guilty verdict, indulging all reasonable
inferences and resolving all conflicts in the evidence in
favor of the verdict." State v. Webb,
2013-NMCA-027, ¶ 14, 296 P.3d 1247 (alteration, internal
quotation marks, and citations omitted). With respect to jury
instructions, we review for reversible error when an
instruction is preserved and for fundamental error when not.
State v. Benally, 2001-NMSC-033, ¶ 12, 131 N.M.
258, 34 P.3d 1134. Whether preserved or not, however,
Defendant's contention ultimately raises an issue of
statutory interpretation, for which our review is de novo.
State v. Tafoya, 2012-NMSC-030, ¶ 11, 285 P.3d
604; see also State v. Osborne, 1991-NMSC-032,
¶ 40, 111 N.M. 654, 808 P.2d 624 ("[I]t is the duty
of the court, not the defendant, to instruct the jury on the
essential elements of a crime.").
Defendant's view of Section 30-3-1(B) has some merit. At
common law, "[a] criminal assault was an attempt to
commit a battery. A tortious assault was an act which put
another in reasonable apprehension of immediate bodily
harm." United States v. Dupree, 544 F.2d 1050,
1051 (9th Cir. 1976) (per curiam) (citation omitted). The
latter type-reasonable apprehension assault-has since been
made a crime in many jurisdictions, which have normally
adopted specific intent requirements rooted in the
offense's history as an intentional tort. Carter v.
Commonwealth, 594 S.E.2d 284, 287-88 (Va. Ct. App.
2004); see, e.g., Robinson v. United
States, 506 A.2d 572, 575 (D.C. 1986) ("An intent
to frighten is sufficient[.]"); Lamb v. State of
Maryland, 613 A.2d 402, 413 (Md. Ct. Spec. App. 1992)
("An assault of the intentional frightening variety . .
. requires a specific intent to place the victim in
reasonable apprehension of an imminent battery.");
Commonwealth v. Spencer, 663 N.E.2d 268, 271 (Mass.
App. Ct. 1996) ("[P]roof of an intent to cause fear is
required."); accord Model Penal Code §
211.1(1)(c) (2015) ("A person is guilty of assault if he
. . . attempts by physical menace to put another in fear of
imminent serious bodily injury."). This apparent
uniformity in other jurisdictions has prompted one leading
treatise to categorically declare that "[t]here must be
an actual intention to cause apprehension, unless there
exists the morally worse intention to cause bodily
harm." 2 Wayne R. LaFave & David C. Baum,
Substantive Criminal Law § 16.3(b), at 569 (2d
ed. 2003).
But that is not the law of New Mexico. In State v.
Cruz, this Court held that specific intent is not an
essential element of aggravated assault. 1974-NMCA-077,
¶ 7, 86 N.M. 455, 525 P.2d 382. As a principle of
construction, when a statute does not refer to intent, which
is the case with Section 30-3-1(B), we normally presume that
the only mens rea involved is that of conscious
wrongdoing-commonly referred to as "general criminal
intent." State v. Campos, 1996-NMSC-043, ¶ 56,
122 N.M. 148, 921 P.2d 1266 (Franchini, J., dissenting). We
applied that presumption to aggravated assault in
Cruz, and in State v. Cutnose,
1974-NMCA-130, ¶¶ 19-20, 87 N.M. 307, 532 P.2d 896.
Cf. State v. Mascarenas, 1974-NMCA-100, ¶¶
11-12, 86 N.M. 692, 526 P.2d 1285 ("[I]nstructions in
the language of the statute sufficiently instruct on the
required intent.").
In State v. Manus, our Supreme Court-apparently
persuaded by that reasoning-confirmed that general criminal
intent is all that is required to support a conviction of
aggravated assault under Section 30-3-1(B). State v.
Manus, 1979-NMSC-035, ¶ 12, 93 N.M. 95, 597 P.2d
280, overruled on other grounds by Sells v. State,
1982-NMSC-125, ¶¶ 9-10, 98 N.M. 786, 653 P.2d 162.
The arguments made in Manus, which was also a
bystander-assault case, are nearly identical to those
presented here. A police officer and a bystander were filling
out an accident report when the defendant approached and
killed the officer with a shotgun. Id. ¶ 3. The
defendant was charged with killing the officer and assaulting
the bystander on the theory that the bystander was put in
reasonable fear of receiving an immediate battery.
Id. ¶¶ 1, 14.
The defendant argued that his conviction for aggravated
assault of the bystander could not stand because "there
was no evidence of any intentional assault directed at
[her]." Id. ¶ 12. Our Supreme Court
rejected that argument, holding that "[t]he [s]tate was
not required to prove that [the defendant] intended to
assault [the bystander], but only that he did an unlawful act
which caused [the bystander] to reasonably believe that she
was in danger of receiving an immediate battery, that the act
was done with a deadly weapon, and that it was done with
general criminal intent." Id. ¶ 14;
see State v. Morales, 2002-NMCA-052, ¶ 36, 132
N.M. 146, 45 P.3d 406 ("To convict [the d]efendant of
aggravated assault on a peace officer, the [s]tate was not
required to prove that [the d]efendant intended to injure or
even frighten [the officer]."), overruled on other
grounds by State v. Tollardo, 2012-NMSC-008, ¶ 37
n.6, 275 P.3d 110; see also United States v.
Rede-Mendez, 680 F.3d 552, 557 (6th Cir. 2012)
("The New Mexico version of aggravated assault differs
from the generic version most significantly in the mens rea
it attaches to the element of bodily injury or fear of
injury."); United States v. Silva, 608 F.3d
663, 675 (10th Cir. 2010) (Hartz, J., dissenting) ("[A]
person [in New Mexico] who intentionally handles a weapon in
a manner that induces a fear of battery can be guilty of
assault even if he merely wants to show off his dexterity in
handling the weapon, without any interest in inducing
The expansive application of assault in Manus
controls our construction of Section 30-3-1(B). In accordance
with the language of the statute, the State was only required
to prove that Defendant "did an unlawful act which
caused [the bystander] to reasonably believe that she was in
danger of receiving an immediate battery, that the act was
done with a deadly weapon, and that it was done with general
criminal intent." Manus, 1979-NMSC-035, ¶

In 2002, it took Glenn Scolnik and his partners 85 road shows to raise $57 million for their new management buyout fund.
They just raised another $43 million with a single presentation.
"Our investors agreed we needed more money. It was a very easy fund-raise," said Scolnik, president and CEO of locally based Hammond Kennedy Whitney & Co. "You don't want to crow too much, because it's not over 'til it's over. Until you realize an investment, you only have approximations of what you're going to do. But I'm tickled pink with the companies we've purchased."
Specializing in mergers and acquisitions, HKW now has $100 million under management. In the last three years, it has bought eight manufacturing companies. Three are in Indiana. HKW has $12 million left of its original $57 million. But it needs more to continue buying new "platform" companies and staging add-on acquisitions to increase the size of firms already in its portfolio.
HKW's lead investors were Springfield, Mass.-based Babson Capital Management LLC, which contributed $20 million, and Boston-based John Hancock Life Insurance Co., which kicked in $15 million. Babson had previously invested $20 million. The rest of HKW's investors were also upping their previous stakes.
HKW's specialty is finding small to midsize manufacturers and partnering with their managers in buyouts. The sellers are usually large corporations that want to divest a subsidiary or family businesses whose owners are ready to retire. HKW purchases a majority stake and requires the managers to also take a substantial slice.
"Our business model is to partner with talented, honest, hard-working management teams who want to own equity and we support them aggressively," Scolnik said. "Roy Whitney told me, 'I'd rather own 80 percent of a company where management owns 20 percent.' You have to thoroughly understand that concept to understand our business model."
"We're not trying to say we're the smartest guys out there. We didn't invent this," Scolnik added. "We've just stayed with this for a long time. I'd even suggest we've perfected it."
Charlie Hetrick, president of Munciebased Maxon Corp., has quickly learned that HKW brings more than dollars to the table. The combustion equipment-maker had been owned by the Maxon family and its 500 employees. Retirements spurred the need for a capital restructuring.
Hetrick said HKW's buyout last fall benefited everyone involved. After going through HKW's lengthy due-diligence process, Maxon's managers had no fears they'd be replaced. They knew HKW's strategy is to give top-notch managers the tools they need to succeed.
"When we checked with other companies they purchased, we found they walked the walk as well as talked the talk," Hetrick said. "They helped us with financial accounting and bookkeeping in the transaction. They've given us good legal counsel and guidance."
Babson Capital Managing Director Bob Erwin's relationship with HKW goes back to the 1970s. Reinvesting in HKW was an easy decision for Babson.
"We have a lot of confidence in their ability to pick the right companies. They've shown an ability to take these companies to the next level and create value," Erwin said. "When we see a deal that comes from HKW, it's wellthought-out. They've done their homework, and we get a lot of comfort out of that."
Although it maintains an office in New York, 13 of HKW's 17 employees are located in Indianapolis. Scolnik expects the new $43 million to keep HKW busy for three or four years. That means examining 200 companies a year before actually purchasing two to four.
Joe Broecker, managing director of locally based Periculum Capital Corp., helped represent Maxon in its sale. HKW's philosophy of asking managers to buy into their own firms pays off well in the long run, he said.
"We find the deals where management is fully engaged work out better over time," Broecker said. "It's no coincidence that highly invested management produces better results."

Adiós México nos has dado una buena vida
MEXICO CITY, May 16 .- The hybrid spacecraft and time machine that U2 named as The Claw (The Claw) rose, as the title of Elevation sentence, one of his most popular songs, the euphoria over 100 000 passengers who yesterday gathered at the Estadio Azteca to say goodbye to the Irish band in their third and last concert in Mexico in the starting phase of its North American tour of its 360 ° Tour.
Bono (vocals), The Edge (guitar), Adam Clayton (bass) and Larry Mullen Jr. (drums) manned the mammoth structure along a little over two hours of a journey through their hits, their classic tracks and some compositions of his latest album No Line On The Horizon.
Given a field bleachers filled and the Colossus of Santa Ursula loyal fans packed alignment Dublin, Bono and company embarked on a musical recorrdido its history, which began in 1976 and to date has become the rock group largest gathering in the face of the Earth that has made their current tour the most successful of all time, earning an estimated $ 700 million.
Prior to the performance of the group Snow Patrol opening act, as he did last Wednesday and on Saturday, far exceeded expectations, U2 came out to the tune introductory Space Oddity by David Bowie to play Even Better Than The Real Thing from his acclaimed album Achtung Baby! which this year celebrates 20 years of its appearance.
With the public on the stock since the beginning of his show, the quartet demonstrated that falls short of its lavish trappings as it did the day before, made some variations in the setlist to include songs such as New Year's Day, Pride (In The Name Of Love) All I Want Is You "and" Hold Me Thrill Me Kiss Me Kill Me.
Except these minor adjustments, the huge machinery of U2 hows work in his two previous concerts with the desired response of a given audience participatory start to finish that marked both the sensory and surround sound experience in his background as a successful implementation and to peace speeches by Bono, alluding to the sale of U.S. arms to Mexico's northern border for drug trafficking.
After his first and only encore that included One, Amazing Grace, Where the Streets Have No Name, Hold Me Thrill Me Kiss Me Kill Me, With Or Without You "and" Moment of Surrender, Bono and his "cronies" as he singer summoned his bandmates, they said goodbye to the jubilation of his followers and the desire for a new visit to a consensual bands and more power convcatoria the country.

Sony Offers 'All-in-One' Blu-ray/PC/HDTV at Retailer
Will the Blu-ray disc ever achieve the ubiquity that standard DVD has? It will, if Blu-ray chief proponent Sony has its way.
Electronics chain Best Buy has begun selling a new "all-in-one" Vaio-brand desktop PC/HDTV from Sony that includes a Blu-ray drive.
The combo unit comes with a 22-inch LCD widescreen and is packed with an Intel Core 2 Duo T8100, 3GB DDR2 RAM, 640GB hard drive. It holds a slot loading drive that reads (and writes) Blu-ray discs. The new Vaio unit includes an Nvidia GeForce 8400 GT GPU, and 802.11n technology.
Sony has also routinely included Blu-ray drives in its PlayStation 3 game consoles—an early tactic that some analysts believe helped it win the next-gen format war against the HD DVD format last winter.

The Lands Council has begun an innovative mycology project which is investigating the ability of several species of fungi to break down persistent polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs). This project aims to prevent PCBs from entering our urban waterways and making their way into the food and water supply.
Of the toxic pollutants in the Spokane River, PCBs are of highest concern. PCBs are man-made, toxic chemicals which were banned in the U.S. in 1979. Despite the ban, these chemicals persist in the U.S. as legacy pollutants and as by-products of many industrial processes. Currently, 15 segments of the river exceed human health water quality criteria for PCBs in edible fish tissue. PCB exposure correlates with significant toxic effects on the nervous, reproductive, endocrine, and immune systems. PCB's are also a probable carcinogen. Of particular concern is the fact that when PCBs enter waterways via urban runoff or industrial discharge, they can move through aquatic food chains and become increasingly toxic.
In 2006, dischargers and conservation groups created the Spokane River Regional Toxics Taskforce. This Taskforce includes The Lands Council, and the City of Spokane. The Task force has a goal to implement a plan to reduce the presence of PCBs in the river by 95%. The Lands Council proposes a project that will use fungi to break down PCBs and other chemicals before they enter the river. The fungi are called white rot fungi (WRF). Because PCBs are chemically similar to the wood WRF naturally eat, WRF can break down these chemicals without experiencing toxic effects.
White rot fungi have been shown to break down PCBs under laboratory conditions, and The Lands Council seeks to test this utility on a much larger scale in the field in order to identify the potential for WRF to be used to prevent PCBs from entering the Spokane River. If successful, this novel method could have broad implications for cost‐effective cleanup at contaminated sites.

text: Source: (2005) American Humane FGDM Issues in BriefYouth contribution and participation can be central to a successful FGC. Studies, such as one in Calgary (Sieppert & Yvonne, 2003), emphasize that children should not be overlooked as capable of offering knowledge, leadership, or power. Unfortunately, though, they are overlooked all too often. Studies of youth participation in FGCs have revealed the importance of additional steps that should be taken into consideration by facilitators (Heino, 2003). Involving youth in their FGC requires focused attention, from pre-planning to follow-up, to ensure that the strengths, assets, and perspectives of the youth are integrated. This article shares youth comments, based on their experience as conference participants, and offers recommendations for facilitators to maximize youth participation. (excerpt)

Applications for student loans for 2019 have officially opened.
National Student Financial Aid Scheme (NSFAS) spokesperson Kagisho Mamabolo says this time around the student funding body will only take a month to respond to students, and all applicants will be required to sign a consent form in order to allow NSFAS to go through a vetting process to check their documents.
Speaking to POWER Drive's Thabiso Tema, Mamabolo says NSFAS is quite relieved because over R2bn has been paid to institutions of higher education since Friday, allowing students to sign agreement contracts.
"Every application is treated differently, each student is evaluated from the day they submit their application.
"Our turn-around time is four weeks from the time of applying to the day you receive a message informing an applicant of their eligibility of receiving funding. During the four weeks, an applicant might need to have confirmed an offer at a university.
"There were lots and lots of unsigned agreements, which were generated by NSFAS. University student leaders were instrumental in mobilising students to come and sign for financial aid. Those who have not received their monies must come and sign, money can't be paid without them signing," says Mamabolo.
Here are seven things you should know about the new NSFAS application process
- How do I apply for NSFAS?
You can apply online on our website www.nsfas.org.za.
- How long does it take to fill the application form?
The new application process takes only 5 minutes to complete.
- Apart from online, where else can students submit their forms?
From September 17 2018, applicants can also submit their paper applications at the nearest NYDA offices across the country, where they will be assisted by an NSFAS official to capture the application. Public Universities and TVET Colleges will also be capacitated to assist with both online and paper application forms at the Financial Aid Office.
- What are the required documents to apply for funding?
The new application process requires only a copy of the Identification Document (ID) for the applicant and parents, a payslip (of both parents) if parents earn an income, and a consent form to give the Scheme permission to verify income. Those whose parents are not working are only required to submit a signed consent form.
- For continuing students, what is the process?
Continuing students who are funded by NSFAS this year will be contacted by NSFAS to sign their agreements online, if they have not done so already. They are not required to reapply as funding will automatically continue in 2019, if they meet the progression rule of 50% pass.
- Who is eligible for NSFAS funding?
Students whose combined family income is below R350 000.
- When does the application process close?
Applications will close on 30 November 2018.

Fluctuations of the Sun.
Astronomers have had plenty of time to observe the fluctuations of the Sun, but until now, it's been unclear if other stars go through the same cycles. But new data gathered by the ESA's XMM-Newton X-Ray Observatory has found a similar cycle of radiation in a distant star. The X-ray brightness of HD 81809, located 90 light-years away in the constellation of Hydra, has varied 10 times over the past 2 and a half years, reaching a well defined peak in mid 2002 - just like the Sun's 11 year cycle of Sunspot activity.
For years, Astronomers have wondered whether stars similar to the Sun go through periodic cycles of enhanced X-ray activity, like those often causing troubles to telephone and power lines here on Earth.
ESA's X-ray observatory XMM-Newton has now revealed for the first time a cyclic behaviour in the X-ray radiation emitted by a star similar to the Sun. This discovery may help scientists to understand how stars affect the development of life on their planets.
Since the time Galileo discovered sunspots, in 1610, Astronomers have measured their number, size and location on the disc of the Sun. Sunspots are relatively cooler areas on the Sun that are observed as dark patches. Their number rises and falls with the level of activity of the Sun in a cycle of about 11 years.
When the Sun is very active, large-scale phenomena take place, such as the flares and coronal mass ejections observed by the ESA/NASA solar observatory SOHO. These events release a large amount of energy and charged particles that hit the Earth and can cause powerful magnetic storms, affecting radio communications, power distribution lines and even our weather and climate.
During the solar cycle, the X-ray emission from the Sun varies by a large amount (about a factor of 100) and is strongest when the cycle is at its peak and the surface of the Sun is covered by the largest number of spots.
ESA's X-ray observatory, XMM-Newton, has now shown for the first time that this cyclic X-ray behaviour is common to other stars as well. A team of astronomers, led by Fabio Favata, from ESA's European Space Research and Technology Centre, The Netherlands, has monitored a small number of solar-type stars since the beginning of the XMM-Newton mission in 2000. The X-ray brightness of HD 81809, a star located 90 light years away in the constellation Hydra (the water snake), has varied by more than 10 times over the past two and a half years, reaching a well defined peak in mid 2002.
The star has shown the characteristic X-ray modulation (brightening and dimming) typical of the solar cycle. "This is the first clear sign of a cyclic pattern in the X-ray emission of stars other than the Sun," said Favata. Furthermore, the data show that these variations are synchronised with the starspot cycle. If HD 81809 behaves like the Sun, its X-ray brightness can vary by a factor of one hundred over a few years. "We might well have caught HD 81809 at the beginning of an X-ray activity cycle," added Favata.
The existence of starspot cycles on other stars had already been established long ago, thanks to observations that began in the 1950s. However, scientists did not know whether the X-ray radiation would also vary with the number of starspots. ESA's XMM-Newton has now shown that this is indeed the case and that this cyclic X-ray pattern is not typical of the Sun alone. "This suggests that our Sun's behaviour is probably nothing exceptional," said Favata.
Besides its interest for scientists, the Sun's cyclical behaviour can have an influence on everyone on Earth. Our climate is known to be significantly affected by the high-energy radiation emitted by the Sun. For instance, a temporary disappearance of the solar cycle in the 18th century corresponded with an exceptionally cold period on Earth. Similarly, in the early phases of the lifetime of a planet, this high-energy radiation has a strong influence on the conditions of the atmosphere, and thus potentially on the development of life.
Finding out whether the Sun's X-ray cycle is common among other solar-type stars, and in particular among those hosting potential rocky planets, can give scientists much needed clues on whether and where other forms of life might exist outside the Solar System. At the same time, understanding how typical and long-lasting is the solar behaviour will tell us more about the evolution of the climate on Earth.
Further observations of HD 81809 and other similar stars are already planned with XMM-Newton. They will allow Astronomers to study whether the large modulations in X-ray brightness observed in the Sun are indeed the norm for stars of its type. Understanding how other solar-like stars behave in general will give scientists better insight into the past and future of our own Sun.

We're glad you're joining the fun
Here's what you need to do now:
This isn't typical speed dating at all since you're only meeting people you found yourself and already know you want to meet. We're just making it normal to have several short "first dates" one after the next in one day instead of over several weeks. You choose the times and places…you'll visit at a coffee shop or on a walk, just the two of you, just like any other first date.
Because online/app dating is time consuming…and often disappointing. By helping make mini-dates socially acceptable, we're helping you efficiently discover who you really want to have a real first date with. And did we mention it's free?
Easier and safer meeting means less time spent in endless texting and scheduling, and less disappointment if your date isn't who you expected them to be. Skip the awkwardness of a long date with someone you're not into and move on to a first date with someone you really like!
Just tell them you're participating in a DateNova event where people put together their own speed date, ask if they'd like to be one of your dates, and tell them they can put together their own speed date at the event too (fair is fair). Point them to this website for details.
What it's Like
No, you're having a private mini-date with one person at a time to see if there's any chemistry/connection. We recommend 15-30 minutes per date with at least 15 minutes between dates.
Nope. Online daters are looking for the right match, which often means having first dates with a number of people over weeks or months. We're just compressing that time into one day so you can quickly find out who you actually like.
Relax. Smile and nod if you want. Don't worry—you both know that if there was chemistry, you'll see each other again. And you can have fun explaining how you only thought of each other the rest of the day ;)

If you're involved in a relationship that makes you feel bad, or if you've learned something about your partner that makes you think poorly of her, you need to consider what you're going to do next. You could always remain in the relationship and just deal with your feelings or the knowledge you have of her. But, you have a second option. You can disconnect yourself from your relationship gently.
Decide for yourself that it's time to leave your relationship. Look at everything you've experienced or learned as you're making your decision. Keep in mind that everyone makes mistakes. Examine your state of mind and make sure the decision you're making is truly because of something that's happened, advises Dr. Irene S. Levine, writing for the "Huffington Post."
Stay calm as you're deciding whether it's time to end your relationship. When you find out your partner has done something you can't condone, acknowledge to yourself that you're angry. Take time away from him so you can get control of your feelings and think things through. Before you make that irrevocable decision to end things, make sure it's the right decision.
Call your partner and let her know you need to speak with her. Schedule your break-up conversation so you give yourself enough time to plan what you're going to say and prepare for the ending, suggests Professional-Counselling.com. Once you've set up a day and time to meet, start thinking about what you want to say, keeping in mind that you want to be gentle, but firm, with the conversation.
Prepare to be honest during your meeting. Gently explain why you're ending the relationship. Give examples from your relationship, but don't be accusatory, advises Sara Benincasa, writing for Jezebel.com. For example: "When you told me you'd be with your family all weekend long, you were actually out of town with your ex-boyfriend. We talked about that. I'm sorry, but I'm not able to be in a relationship where we're not exclusive."
Look directly at your partner and tell him gently that you've been thinking about your relationship. Rather than just coming straight to the meat of your decision, arrive at the news in steps. "I called and asked to talk to you so we could discuss our relationship and some recent events. It's become clear to me that ..." Speak gently and slowly as you break the news of your decision. It takes time for the mind to process sudden bad news.
Steer clear of blaming your partner as you're explaining why you're ending your relationship. Explain that your decision has been coming for some time. For example: "I've felt this developing for a while. We've both been changing and, as much as we loved each other, I can't honestly commit to a long-term relationship."

In Australia, the average age as of 2016 is 37 years and this number is expected to rise over the next few decades. The average life expectancy in Australia is 82 years, in the UK it is 81 and USA it is 78 years. The World Health Organisation estimates that the number of people aged 65 and older is expected to reach 1.5 billion by 2050. With most of the increase in developing countries, also, the number of people over the age of 65 years is expected to outnumber children younger than 5 years. The World health organisation estimates that by 2020, people over the age of 60 will outnumber children under the age of five.
The rapid size increase in the elderly population can be attributed to change in the leading cause of death from infectious diseases to chronic non-communicable disease which increases the life expectancy. For example hypertension, diabetes, congestive heart failure and high cholesterol to name a few. Chronic conditions like heart disease, arthritis, diabetes, cancer, dementia have had the most significant impact on the ageing population. In Australia, in particular, 70% of the patients in acute health care are older adults.
The ageing population will affect the income raising capability of the government. meaning the government will be spending more than the money they are making. Currently, the Australian government funds majority of health and aged care services, the amount of money spent on aged care doubled to about 4 per cent GDP in the last 30 years. According to The Department of Infrastructure, Regional Development and Cities, aged care spending was expected to almost treble from 0.7 per cent of GDP in 2002 to 1.8 per cent of the GDP in 2041.
Below are some of the challenges the ageing population will bring according to Pharmacy times
Expected challenges to the health care system include the following
- Resource needs will continue to increase across all healthcare settings
- The incidence of obesity will continue to increase
- A shortage of healthcare professionals is expected
- The diversity of caregivers lags behind the growing diversity of patients
- Care has been focused on a single disease versus addressing comorbidity
- The sustainability and structure of federal programs in relation to the increasing ageing population are a concern
- Changes in family structure may lead to fewer family caregivers
- Adapting and adjusting to the Affordable Care Act pose challenges
As the population ages, the healthcare system will need to focus on reduction of the prevalence of the risk factors before the disease develops. For example health campaigns to encourage people to eat healthily and exercise more. After the disease develops, care should focus on preventing the progression of the disease. Also the reduction of morbidity from the complications that have already developed. When older adults are admitted to hospitals, care should be developed to enhance patient independence by involving the various health disciplines like physiotherapist and social workers. Other preventative measures that can be put in place is the prevention of falls, the impact of falls on the elderly can often mean life and death. And in often cases a fall may signal the start of deterioration, after a fall they lose independence and depression sets in.
The current trends in population in my view are as a result of a shift in priorities, especially in larger cities. People are having fewer children and are having them later in life. Children are then put in day-care early, for various reasons. After day-care they go to school 5 days a week from 8-4, they come back home have dinner and go to bed. The point here is a large population means busy lives. Busy lives mean we neglect the very things that we should be looking after.
Also, the push current push to encourage the elderly to spend more time at home instead of nursing homes is likely to be what is contributing to the high levels of loneliness among the elderly. In nursing homes, residents get 24-hour service care and get human interaction on a 24-hour basis. At home is where most of the falls happen, and for the elderly population that live alone, this can often mean life or death. According to the CDC each year 2.8 million older adults are treated in the emergency department for fall-related injuries. Falls are the most common cause of traumatic brain injuries and each year in America at least 300,000 older people are hospitalised for hip fractures.
In conclusion, as the population ages, the role of primary health caregivers like GP's, community nurses, allied health professionals, midwives, pharmacists, dentists, and Aboriginal health workers cannot be overstated. The types of services delivered under primary health care are broad ranging and include health promotion, prevention and screening, early intervention, treatment and management.

Building work to begin on two new Kildare schools
Sammon Group have two year contract
Emmet Stagg who welcomed school start
WORK is to start on a long awaited new secondary school campus in Maynooth next week.
Kildare North Labour Party Representative Emmet Stagg said he welcomed confirmation from the Kildare and Wicklow Education and Training Board that work on the Maynooth Education Campus will commence on site next week.
He said this was fantastic news for the pupils, teachers and parents of the pupils. There will now be two new state of the art post primary Schools and a shared sports facility at Mariaville, Maynooth.
The construction period is two years.
Sammon Building Contractors have been awarded the contract. Both of the schools will cater for 1,000 pupils each.
Mr Stagg congratulated everybody involved in bringing the project to this stage including the Maynooth Education Campus Parent Teacher Association, the principals of the schools, Johnny Nevin and Siobhan McCauley, the Boards of Management, KWETB, the Department of Education "and most importantly the people of Maynooth."
