DI, the problem is that TU is the only formula that rewards 0% util at higher scores. I still got hit by EQ when all reported $0.
I noticed my score on CK decreased when no balance is reporting. Now that I'm letting a balance report the score increased. I mentioned that to CWCID before.

One of the original Bavarian varieties! Grandpa Ott's Morning Glory (Ipomoea purpurea) yields beautiful deep-purple flowers on vigorous 15-foot vines. Perfect for covering walls, privacy screens and lattice — give these hardy, self-seeding annuals support and watch them grow! Learn How to Grow Morning Glory here.
Each packet contains approximately 100 seeds.
Planting Tips:
Work a generous amount of compost or well-aged animal manure into the ground prior to planting. This will retain moisture and help keep plants from wilting in the afternoon heat. Direct sow into prepared beds 1-2 weeks before the last expected frost and keep moist while germinating. Thin seedlings to 4-6 inches apart and provide support so the young vines can climb. Do NOT eat as plants can be poisonous.

Rough times for Massachusetts' golf industry
- Jay Fitzgerald, Special to the Journal
The game of golf rewards players who shoot under par.
But the business of golf is brutal toward golf-club owners who operate courses financially under par — and this coming season shows no sign of let up in the sub-par performance of the business of golf in Massachusetts and across the nation.
Even though the economy is slowly recovering and early season participation in the game appears to be up across the state this spring, golf club owners still face the harsh supply-and-demand reality of too many golf courses for too few players, thanks to the overbuilding of courses in previous decades across the country and a sharp decline in the number of golfers nationwide.
Earlier this week, the Shaker Hills Golf Club in Harvard paid the price for the industry's supply-and-demand imbalance: The 18-hole course was scheduled to be auctioned off Thursday to the highest bidder, after the club failed to meet its $2.13 million mortgage obligation, filed for bankruptcy and closed this past winter.
Shaker Hills' demise follows two other recent foreclosure auctions of struggling golf courses in central Massachusetts alone — the Sterling Country Club and the Pleasant Valley Country Club in Sutton — both of which will try to remain in business under new ownership this season.
Farther west, the Hickory Ridge Country Club in Amherst was auctioned off in March to a New Jersey golf-course management company, while the Scottish Meadow Golf Course in Warren was recently sold to a Florida solar power company that plans to build a new solar facility on the site, the Worcester Telegram has reported.

Several injured when SUV strikes light rail in Phoenix
PHOENIX -- Several people were injured Wednesday after an SUV driver allegedly ran a red light and collided with a light rail train.
"We had one SUV that appeared to have been t-boned by the light rail," said Phoenix Fire Capt. Ruben Saavedra. "[There was] significant damage to the SUV."
In total, seven people were injured in the crash. Three were transported to the hospital, one of which was the 57-year-old driver of the SUV. She was designated a trauma patient.
The other four people who were injured did not want to be taken to the hospital.
The crash happened near Central and Roosevelt.
Some delays were experienced on the light rail.

This study was performed to determine the prevalence of multiple sclerosis (MS) in 1993 and annual incidence rates 1983–1992, and to examine whether the disease occurs among the Sami people. According to earlier reports the two northernmost counties of Norway, Troms and Finnmark with 225,000 inhabitants, have a relatively low prevalence of MS: 20.6 per 100,000 in 1973 and 31.5 in 1983. Also no person who is of pure Sami heritage (i.e., with both parents speaking Sami natively) has been found with the disease. Except for the introduction of magnetic resonance imaging as a diagnostic tool, there has been no significant change in the neurological service in the area during the past 20 years. Files of patients with the diagnosis of MS were reviewed, and questionnaires were sent to all patients alive on the prevalence day of 1 January 1993. The prevalence in 1993 was 73.0 per 100,000. The mean crude annual incidence rate was 3.5 per 100,000 during the period 1983–1992 compared with 3.0 during 1974–1982. ¶In 1983 there were no pure Sami among the MS patients, but one had a Sami father. On 1 January 1993 there were three patients with both Sami parents and three with only ¶one Sami parent, which is a rate that is still lower than would be expected if the prevalence of MS among the Sami were similar to that in the rest of the Norwegian population. The study shows that the incidence of MS in Troms and Finnmark has been increasing over the past 10 years, but is still lower than on the western coast and in the eastern part of Norway. The lowest incidence is found in Finnmark, where the Sami population is highest. During the past 10 years MS has also been diagnosed among the Sami population.

Senate Democrats pushed the broadest gun ban in decades through the Judiciary Committee on Thursday, voting to halt sales of military-style semiautomatic weapons and high-capacity ammunition magazines in what's likely to be the high-water mark for gun control after December's Newtown, Conn., shooting spree.
Now that bill and three other gun control measures head to the Senate floor and gun control advocates shift to defense, trying to preserve as much of their gains as they can in a showdown likely to be just as emotional and heated as the committee debate.
"The road is uphill. I fully understand it," Sen. Dianne Feinstein, the California Democrat who wrote the gun-ban bill, said just ahead of the 10-8 party-line vote that cleared the bill through the committee. But she challenged her colleagues to ask themselves how they could make the country safer in light of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting that took place exactly three months earlier, claiming 28 lives, including 20 children.
"When we hear the testimony from the emergency physicians about what those bullets did inside the bodies of those children, it is a very sobering picture," she said. "I mean, I cannot get out of my mind trying to find a pulse in someone and putting fingers in bullet holes. I cannot get out of my mind walking into a crime and seeing the brain matter all over, the carnage, and seeing these massive attacks continue."
Republicans, equally fervent, wondered about the crime victims who might no longer have access to a weapon or magazine powerful enough to stop a crime.
"If the real objective is reducing violent crime, we should be devoting our crime to far more effective steps," said Sen. Ted Cruz, a freshman Republican from Texas. "We should be devoting our time to laws that target violent criminals. We should be devoting our time to laws that improve the [instant] background check."
The Judiciary Committee, stacked with liberal Democrats, was fairly easy sledding for the bills compared to the Senate floor, where Democrats will be less united.
Even still, Mrs. Feinstein's bill wouldn't have made it out of the committee without an extra boost from Chairman Patrick J. Leahy, Vermont Democrat, who said that he wasn't 100 percent behind it but didn't want to bottle it up in the committee. If he had voted against the bill, it would have died on a 9-9 vote.
"I have some concerns about some aspects of it, but I feel this is a matter of such importance it should be voted on by the whole Senate, not just this committee, so I will vote to support her bill as it is before us," he said.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid told reporters he'll sit down with Mr. Leahy and work out one bill to be the vehicle for a Senate debate.
That decision will be critically important — whatever bill is brought to the floor will be the basis for debate, and it will likely take 60 votes to add or subtract anything from that legislation.
The semiautomatic ban now joins three other bills the panel approved earlier this month — one to boost funding for school safety, another to crack down on gun-trafficking and straw purchases for those not supposed to own weapons, and a third to expand background checks to almost every gun transaction.
The background check and gun-ban bills are the most contentious, and promise to spark furious battles on the Senate floor — and on the House floor, if they get that far.
For the past decade, there has been an unofficial moratorium on gun legislation in Congress as Democrats, afraid of the electoral power of the National Rifle Association and other Second Amendment supporters, shied away from action.
But December's shooting at Sandy Hook broke through the calcification and spurred President Obama and gun control supporters in Congress to try again — most notably with their effort to renew the so-called assault weapons ban, which prohibited the sale of many semiautomatic rifles between its passage in 1994 and its expiration in 2004.
"These weapons of war, when combined with high capacity magazines, have one purpose: to inflict maximum damage as quickly as possible," Mr. Obama said after Thursday's committee vote. "They are designed for the battlefield, and they have no place on our streets, in our schools, or threatening our law enforcement officers."
Mrs. Feinstein's bill would reinstitute and tighten the original assault weapons ban. It applies to semiautomatic rifles that have add-ons such as detachable stocks, barrel shrouds or pistol grips, and to rifles or pistols that can accept magazines with more than 10 rounds.
Sales of automatic rifles are already generally banned under federal law and some states have varyingly written bans on semiautomatic assault weapons.
After the Sandy Hook shooting, other states have moved to pass tighter controls, including Connecticut, where the rampage took place.
On Thursday, the president of one of the nation's oldest gun manufacturers closed down his factory in the Nutmeg State and bused 400 of his workers to the Connecticut Capitol so they could personally lobby against new gun control legislation they said would cost them their livelihood, according to The Associated Press.
Thursday's debate was both broad and heated, with weighty constitutional questions at stake.
At one point, Mr. Cruz, a lawyer who has argued a major gun case before the Supreme Court, asked Mrs. Feinstein whether Congress could write legislation that placed limits on what books were legal under the First Amendment.
She prickled at the question, telling him not to treat her like a "sixth-grader."
"I've looked at bodies that have been shot with these weapons. I've seen the bullets that implode. In Sandy Hook, youngsters were dismembered," she said. "I'm reasonably well educated. Thank you for the lecture."
She said her bill specifically approved the sale of 2,271 types of firearms, and she wondered why anyone would need some other weapon not included.
Mrs. Feinstein said Congress' job is to pass laws, and said she thinks her bill would survive Supreme Court scrutiny, though she said it's the justices' job to make that final decision.
"If they strike down the law, they strike down the law," she said.

Protect Yourself from Leaving Your Child in Your Car
By Melissa Ford on July 08, 2013
BlogHer Original Post
It's a horrible situation that unfortunately occurs much more often than we think: children are left behind in cars when parents go to work, and during cases of extreme weather in the summer and winter months, children have died. It's a mistake that literally any sleep-deprived or off-schedule parent could make lest we think it couldn't happen to us. As Coffee with Julie quotes from a Washington Post article on the subject,
In the last 10 years, it has happened to a dentist. A postal clerk. A social worker. A police officer. An accountant. A soldier. A paralegal. An electrician. A Protestant clergyman. A rabbinical student. A nurse. A construction worker. An assistant principal. It happened to a mental health counselor, a college professor and a pizza chef. It happened to a pediatrician. It happened to a rocket scientist.
What is a parent to do to protect themselves from finding themselves (and their child!) in this situation? Coffee with Julie outlines five helpful steps you can take to safeguard against leaving your child behind in the car.
So, if you are a parent of a young child, these low-tech tips are for you. You might be starting a new job, or juggling life as a single parent, or simply so darn sleep deprived you are barely functioning. Whatever the reason, take some of these tips and put them into play until life quietens down a bit. Just in case. Just because.
Do you already do any of the tips Julie outlines in her post? Any other tips that have helped you remember a quiet child in the backseat?

TokBox, a Telefónica Digital company, released the results of global survey of 1,161 participants regarding developer community attitudes towards WebRTC.
The report, which found rapidly emerging interest from larger organizations (1,000+ employees), also found rapid WebRTC adoption amongst smaller companies (fewer than 500 employees) where more than one in four (27.1%) developers say WebRTC is already critical to their work.

Enterprise developers are particularly drawn to the ability to avoid downloads and also the simplicity, with no requirement for an AV expert. Alternatively, for SMBs, WebRTC's lower latency and higher video/audio quality are key factors.
While still emerging, enterprise developers claim to have a higher degree of expertise, with one in ten (11%) claiming expert status, vs 5.9% for SMBs. Other key findings from the report included:
1. Rise and Rise: Three in four developers intend to increase their usage of WebRTC over the next 12 months, 50% of them by a "significant amount";
2. Imperfect evolution: The biggest missing element of WebRTC is the inability for mobile/web interoperability (35%), followed by multi-party group support (23%), archiving/recording (15.5%) and phone to video chat connection (14%). Only 4% thought "nothing was wrong" with WebRTC;
3. Death of the client download: A major factor driving the move towards WebRTC is the removal of the need to download any client or software. Other drives included low latency/less delay, not needing to be an AV specialist to use WebRTC, and higher audio/video resolution;
4. A legitimate data channel: As opposed to SMBs where interest in WebRTC for data (5.2% say they will use it) and audio (6.1%) is virtually non-existent, enterprise developers are more likely to build apps utilising these channels (10.4% will use data, 11.7% voice), although video capability is the most significant area of interest across both groups (86% for SMBs, 75% for enterprises).
5. Flash is fading: 41% of respondents do not intend to use Flash at all over the next 12 months, 19% will decrease usage. SMBs are more likely to use Flash, with 18% expecting to increase usage vs only 12% for enterprises. In comparison, 75% will increase usage of WebRTC across both SMBs and enterprises;
6. Impact beyond video conferencing: Beyond video conferencing and telecommunications, the number one industry expected to adopt WebRTC is Customer Service (25%), Education (23%) and Medical/Health industries (17%).
TokBox, with its industry leading OpenTok on WebRTC platform, powers enterprise-grade WebRTC video communications for businesses and developers around the world.
Ian Small, CEO of TokBox, commented on the findings: "These results overwhelmingly show that WebRTC is at the heart of change in the developer community, affecting industries well beyond communications. With OpenTok we have focused on evolving WebRTC into an enterprise-grade solution and the clear appetite from larger organizations shows we are on the right track. As the Web becomes a genuine platform for voice and video, we are seeing the imagination of the community drive a whole raft of use cases."
OpenTok has been used by more than 70,000 organizations to add live face to face communications to their site, including American Idol, Major League Baseball, Diet Coke, Ford, Doritos, Bridgestone and Double Robotics.
Last month TokBox released OpenTok for Customer Service, providing a configured set of tools so anyone can build live video into an enterprise customer service application.

2015 has gotten off to a great start. I read five books in January and three in February, so I'm already eight books toward my goal of 36 for the year.
As an Amazon Prime member, I am able to get a free Kindle book each month via their Kindle First program and, for the most part, I have enjoyed the ones I've gotten around to reading. However, I haven't been keeping up and have a bit of a backlog of titles, so when February rolled around, I decided I would read my Kindle First selection right away. I chose Emily Bleeker's Wreckage. Unfortunately, this has been the weakest book I've gotten through the program and one of the most disappointing books I've actually bothered to finish.
The premise of people getting stranded on a desert island has certainly been attempted before but the inherent drama of the situation is undermined here because we are introduced to two of the survivors early on as they agree to participate in a TV interview. We know they get off the island right from the start. This reveal is allegedly justified because there are secrets about what happened on the island which are slowly revealed during the interview process, but these secrets are so obvious that there is no tension. Basically, I finished the book because I was hoping that the big reveals weren't so obvious but, alas, they were. Neither of the two survivors wanted to do the interview and their rationale for doing so was unrealistic.
The characters are thinly drawn and borderline unbelievable, especially those of Kent and the TV interviewer. The interviews never felt plausible and really undermined the story. Here's hoping for better luck next month.
The second book I read was Walter Mosley's What Next: A Memoir Toward World Peace. No two ways about it: this is must reading. Although Mosley addresses this 2003 memoir/essay to an African American audience, any thoughtful person will be rewarded by reading this work.
What Next is Mosley's response to the tragedy of 9/11. He focuses on how the events affect the African American community and how they could react. But his pleas for a better world, although idealistic at times, are relevant to everyone. It's interesting and to read this 12 years later after seeing how, in many ways, the world has moved further from his idealistic goals.
Finally, I read White Space Is Not Your Enemy: A Beginner's Guide to Communicating Visually Through Graphic, Web & Multimedia Design (2nd ed). It lives up to the promise of the title and provides a great overview of issues to consider in graphic design. My only complaint is that it went into photography and videography which felt out of scope. They were short chapters and didn't do justice to those complex considerations and felt like they were tacked on to beef up the text. But that's a minor complaint. Overall, I got a lot out of White Space Is Not Your Enemy.
I finished eight books by the end of February:
- The Golden Compass
- The Subtle Knife
- The Amber Spyglass
- The Best American Essays of 2014 (ebook)
- I Know I Am, But What Are You? (library book)
- Wreckage (ebook)
- What Next: A Memoir Toward World Peace (library book)
- White Space Is Not Your Enemy (library book)

Forensic intelligence: commentary
The term 'forensic intelligence' and the benefits it brings do seem somewhat axiomatic; however, my perspective on this has evolved from my time as a police director of intelligence and a scientific support manager, followed by six years as the UK Forensic Science Regulator (for details of the role see http://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/forensic-science-regulator). Having lived through the introduction of the UK national intelligence model I have seen at first hand the benefits of well modelled intelligence strategies and systems. I have long believed that forensic practitioners and methods, both within the police and their supporting forensic science laboratories, have endless potential to feed timely and accurate information into the investigation and detection of crime at all stages of the process. The police objective of community safety is achieved through a range of actions that, in modern policing, involves much more than crime investigation and detection. We have learnt the benefits of proactive approaches that feed into and from intelligence that is focused and timely. Sadly, though, forensic science has remained largely a reactive tool that is deployed after the event and in support of a particular investigation. This series of papers seeks to change this paradigm and is to be applauded for the visionary use of forensic science as an intelligence tool that breaks free from the traditional reactive model.
View the fulltext (QH staff only)
Intelligence began as a military tool and has been in practice for centuries. David Kuhn1 refers to Sun Tzu who is credited with writing 'The Art of War' in the sixth century AD and quotes Tzu as saying:
Now the reason the enlightened prince and the wise general conquer the enemy wherever they move and their achievements surpass those of ordinary men is foreknowledge.
Intelligence has also been a law enforcement tool over many years. References date back to policing practices in the time of Louis XIV of France (1667) and Thames policing in the UK in the eighteenth century. David L. Carter2 refers to law enforcement intelligence units in US police forces in the 1920s producing dossiers on known criminals as early forms of the tool and there are many other examples through history.
The production and use of intelligence from a forensic science perspective is more recent again. It was brought into focus through a study 'Using Forensic Science Effectively' by the Association of Chief Police Officers (ACPO) and the Forensic Science Service (FSS)3 in 1996. This was at a time when the DNA database was being established in the UK.

Elements of a forensic intelligence model
Intelligence began as a military tool and has been in practice for centuries. Relatively speaking, forensic intelligence is in its infancy as the focus of forensic science has traditionally been the courts and the resolution of crime. The focus for forensic intelligence is crime prevention, crime disruption and a reduced fear of crime and there is an emphasis on quick results. The usual chronic backlogs that haunt forensic science prevent quick results and so the default position is courts and crime resolution. However, in a number of jurisdictions in Australia, the introduction of at-scene or on-submission triaging and the digital capture, transmission and comparison of fingerprints is leading to a marked reduction in turnaround times for forensic science results; particularly those that are effective sources of intelligence. Aspects of forensic science service delivery such as organisational structure and culture, IT capability, the relationship between police and scientists and interim reporting need to be re-considered as key elements in a forensic intelligence model. However, forensic intelligence should not stand on its own. It should become an integral part of the overall investigative tool and intelligence-led strategies.

The landscape of forensic intelligence research
Criminology, forensic science and policing scholars have a significant role to play in exploring new developments and directions in modern policing. Yet while the concept of forensic intelligence has caught the attention of a number of policing agencies around the world, it has yet to become a mainstream undertaking. In part this is an artefact of a pragmatic policing culture that only institutes new practices based on demonstrable, research and practice-based effectiveness. Here, we seek to draw attention to efforts in the scholarly community to accumulate a body of evidence on the efficacy of forensic intelligence. The article describes the international landscape of research pertaining to the development of forensic intelligence. We outline the key use of digitised, triangulated data on biometrics, scene of crime and illicit substances. In doing so, we draw attention to the challenges remaining for scholars and professionals to further understand and advance the use of forensic intelligence in mainstream policing.

Forensic informatics enabling forensic intelligence
The utility of forensic informatics gained momentum in Queensland over a decade ago and was instrumental in identifying leakage points in forensic performance, the removal of backlogs and the provision of real-time feedback to forensic practitioners and investigating police. This paper provides insight into the evolution of forensic practice in Queensland, highlighting both the organisational challenges and the information system architecture, which established workflows tailored to the timely production of forensic intelligence to reduce, disrupt and prevent crime.

Forensic data exchange: ensuring integrity
A growing chorus of forensic professionals believe that forensic science has undersold its potential contribution to crime reduction and has a more significant role to play in policing, with collation and analysis of forensic information used to inform policing tactics, operations or strategy. Domestic law enforcement agencies, as producers, consumers and purveyors of forensic information and intelligence, are also responding to political pressures to expand and accelerate their technological abilities to gather and disseminate forensic information and intelligence within expanding operational boundaries.

Education and training in forensic intelligence: a new challenge
From recent calls for positioning forensic scientists within the criminal justice system, but also policing and intelligence missions, this paper emphasises the need for the development of educational and training programmes in the area of forensic intelligence. It is argued that an imbalance exists between perceived and actual understanding of forensic intelligence by police and forensic science managers, and that this imbalance can only be overcome through education. The challenge for forensic intelligence education and training is therefore to devise programmes that increase forensic intelligence awareness, firstly for managers to help prevent poor decisions on how to develop information processing. Two recent European courses are presented as examples of education offerings, along with lessons learned and suggested paths forward. It is concluded that the new focus on forensic intelligence could restore a pro-active approach to forensic science, better quantify its efficiency and let it get more involved in investigative and managerial decisions. A new educational challenge is opened to forensic science university programmes around the world: to refocus criminal trace analysis on a more holistic security problem solving approach.

Forensic intelligence: deregulation or return to the roots of forensic science?
This paper presents an overview of forensic intelligence through historical, operational and academic considerations. While forensic intelligence is thriving through new traceability of human activities, theoretical developments in policing and innovative technologies, it should mainly be seen as an opportunity for forensic science to contribute to making policing more 'scientific' in the broad sense. This paper supports the development of a modern framework to holistically use the information conveyed by forensic case data to inform policing processes, support decision-making and ensure transparency. It is argued that the scientific information, the trace, has to be privileged, rather than rejected from current debates, despite the potential fears prompted by the misinterpretation of the term 'intelligence'. Ultimately, forensic intelligence enables the emergence of a modern conception of forensic science.

The applied use of forensic intelligence for community and organised crime
This paper describes the implementation of Forensic Intelligence (FORINT) practices over a two-year period within the Australian Federal Police. As an example of this, it looks at FORINT as applied to community crime within the capital city of Canberra and an innovative FORINT approach to combatting the use of the parcel post system by organised crime to import illicit goods into Australia. The paper explores the optimal environment required to enable FORINT to survive and thrive within a policing and forensic laboratory context.

Desde sep 2006
Vive en Oklahoma City
mujer de 35-49 años
I'm a single mom with one son who was 10 when I joined Trip Advisor. Most of my trips are geared towards things he would find interesting, whether it's sporting events, theme parks, a beach, or museums. We've been on some great trips-- many of them before I joined. We've been all over central and western U.S. We've ridden over a dozen trains just for fun. (Ask me about our "Colorado Train Adventure" some time.) We've been to Disneyland and Disney World. We've been to the Pacific Ocean and the Gulf of Mexico. We've been to big cities and wilderness. We've stayed in posh hotels and we've camped in a tent. Many people are amazed that we've done so much on our own, but I say if you are a single mom, just go for it. Get out there and make memories with your kid(s). Don't wait around until you get married again. Just be careful and trust your instincts.

It took a trip to the hospital, surgery and a pair of crutches for Sophie Newbold's dream to come true.
Sophie, a Cure Kids ambassador, was told six weeks ago that she would be meeting the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, in a once in a lifetime opportunity for the Queenstown teenager.
But as she set out to perfect her curtsy, it all went horribly wrong.
"I was just practising my curtsy and it [knee] just clicked."
It was back to the hospital for the 19-year-old, who is no stranger to theatre and hospital wards, with a dislocated knee, torn ligaments and broken knee cap.
Sophie has a rare condition called cardiofaciocutaneous syndrome and was just the 12th person in the world to be diagnosed with it when she was born.
The condition typically affects the heart, facial features and skin, but the bubbly teen does not let it stop her from getting the most out of life.
And yesterday, Sophie could not stop smiling, despite being discharged from hospital only a week earlier.
Sophie emerged from the players' tunnel at Forsyth Barr stadium accompanying William and Catherine just seconds after she had spoken to them.
The former Arrowtown School pupil said she had not slept for days leading up to meeting the couple during their whirlwind stop in Dunedin and could not stop shaking.
But when she finally met them, unable to curtsy because of her crutches and a knee brace, she did not waste any time.
New Zealand Rugby chief executive Steve Tew said Sophie dived straight in with her questions, asking how the littlest royal family member was. 'How's George?" she asked the pair.
Kate responded by telling her he was still settling into sleeping patterns in New Zealand, Tew said.
Sophie still could not believe she had spoken to the future king and his wife, but said she would "remember it forever".
Sophie's mother Bridget said it had been a stressful couple of weeks for the royal enthusiast, but doctors had promised to fix her knee enough to ensure she could speak with William and Kate, though they couldn't promise she would be able to curtsy.
She was chosen to meet the royal couple as a Cure Kids ambassador, along with Dunedin 10-year-old Brayden Warnock-Hannon,who has burns to 45 per cent of his body.
The Newbold family have had a longstanding relationship with the organisation, especially after Sophie underwent surgery in 2010 by Professor Swee Tan.
Tan was the only person able to help Sophie in New Zealand, removing large haematomas from her body.
The organisation has funded Tan's research into benign tumours.
Sophie may have weeks of recovery ahead of her, but she has a special memory that will last her a lifetime.

UPDATE: "I'm here man, I'm here today. Practice starts tomorrow and we'll go from there," Carmelo Anthony told the media on the first day of Nuggets training camp.
Dressed in his familiar Nuggets uniform, Melo described his conversation with Nuggets GM Masai Ujiri--the first face-to-face meeting the two have had since Ujiri took over as GM--as "a good... actually a great conversation."
"He has told me how he feels, and I told him how I feel," Ujiri said of the meeting.
Melo insisted he's never said he wanted to be traded, and says he's "keeping [his] options open." He declined to address specifics of talks between his representatives and the Nuggets front office.
* * * * * * * * * * *
Even after weeks of trade rumors, and "unpleasant" meetings, the Denver Nuggets open camp this week with Carmelo Anthony still on their roster. The team is reportedly even hoping to convince its star forward that staying in Denver wouldn't be the worse thing after all.
Anthony, whose contract expires at the end of the year, has refused to sign a 3-year, $65 million contract extension. Reports all summer have indicated that he hopes to force the Nuggets--who would lose him for nothing if he leaves as a free agent next year--to trade him, preferably to either Chicago or New York.
Last week, reports predicted that the Nuggets would likely have a deal done by the end of the weekend in order to avoid the awkward situation of having a disgruntled superstar in camp.
However, the team put the brakes on negotiations over the weekend in order to fully evaluate its options.
Melo, who has publicly been mum on the issue, is expected directly address the media for the first time on Monday.
