After Tragedy, an Entrepreneur's Triumph
Doug Evans's career soared in June 2012 when his company, Kensey Nash, was sold for $360 million. But his personal life had taken a tragic turn. About two months before the sale, his son Cameron, an eighth-grader who had developed cancer, went on mechanical ventilation. It kept him alive, but he struggled to wean himself off breathing support. He died in May 2012, about three weeks after separating from the machine.

The EXACT time you should close your windows when it gets hot & why opening them could be making your home even stuffier
IT'S the first instinct for many people - to open the windows when it gets warm outside. And with temperatures set to exceed 28°C this week, there will undoubtedly be millions of people cracking theirs open in a bid to catch a break from the stuffy temperatures. 3 3 However, according to one expert, there are only two times during the day and night that you should actually open the windows. "The number one rule in a heatwave is to not open your windows when it's hotter outside than in," Alan Reid, double glazed doors and windows expert at Art Windows and Doors, explained. "Opening your windows is not cooling your home, it's just letting more heat come flooding in." So make sure that your windows and blinds are closed between 11am and 4pm - especially if your house is south-facing. And at 8pm, you can open your windows fully - this will allow the hot air to escape gradually when the temperature outside start to drop. It's then a good idea to leave your windows on night mode, if you have that setting on your vents. "Most modern windows have a built in vent lock or night catch which lets you crack the window slightly for airflow without leaving it fully open," Alan added. "Used at the right time when the outdoor air is cooler, it can help release trapped heat from your home." You can open the windows fully once again in the morning, before the temperatures rise again. There are some other ways you can help keep your home cool in the daytime during a heatwave too. Met Office issues heatwave warning as temperatures set to surge to 30C within days Five ways to keep your kids cool in the heat IT can be really difficult - and costly - to keep kids cool when it's hot outside. But Fabulous Digital Senior Reporter and mum-of-two Sarah Bull shares five ways to help, and they won't break the budget either. Strip them off It might sound simple, but stripping kids off at home can really help them regulate their temperature when it's warm outside. Just remember to regularly apply suncream, as more of their skin will be exposed to the sun. Cool down bedrooms before nighttime When it's hot outside, it can be difficult for kids to go to sleep - especially if their bedroom feels like an oven. If you have a room that's not in direct sunshine, keep the windows open to let in a breeze. It's also a good idea to keep the curtains closed, to prevent the room from heating up. Wear a hat Another simple technique, but one that really works. Make sure that if your kids are playing outside, they've got a hat on. It keeps their face and head shielded from the sun, and also helps if you've got a little one who struggles with bright sunlight. If your tot struggles to keep a hat on, try one with a strap that goes under the chin to help. Avoid the car The car can be one of the hottest places during a heatwave, and often takes a long time to cool down. If you have the option, it's better to stay at home rather than taking kids out anywhere in a hot car. Stay hydrated This is always important, but even more so in a heatwave. Make sure you're regularly reminding your kids to have a drink, and top them up with cool liquids whenever you can. Use ice too to ensure it's as cold as it can possibly be. Some are somewhat self-explanatory - don't use ovens or other heat-generating appliances during peak heat hours, and use linen or cotton bedding to stay cooler at night. But other ideas include having light coloured curtains and blinds, as this will stop them absorbing the heat, and will instead keep rooms cool. And if you've got a fan, you can turn it into a makeshift air cooler by putting a bowl full of ice in front of it. 3

How do you get rid of mould in the attic and prevent it coming back?
A few years ago, my son had a friend insulate his attic. He recently discovered that a great deal of mould has since grown as it seems the attic was never properly ventilated. What can he do to get rid of the mould and prevent it coming back? The attic is an interesting source of additional space, particularly if it has the headroom to provide for a room that complies with building regulations, namely that it has a ceiling height of 2.4m for more than half the floor area. This ceiling height requirement is to ensure adequate ventilation of the space (Part F of the Building Regulations). But even if it isn't suitable for habitable accommodation, it can be a useful storage space. For the purposes of my answer, I have assumed it is being used as a traditional attic storage facility for the Christmas tree, suitcases, kids' school copy books and the like. Due to our damp climate, mould can form for a number of reasons, namely, inadequate insulation, inadequate ventilation and inadequate heating. More often than not it's a combination of all three. READ MORE Dealing first with inadequate insulation as a cause of dampness, consider the appropriateness of the insulation your son's friend put in. For example, sheep's wool will allow some moisture movement and is good for older buildings. Vapour-resistant rigid foam boards (also known as PIR boards) are good but must be fitted correctly to prevent condensation. And don't forget the attic hatch; make sure it is well sealed and insulated to prevent warm, moist air from escaping into the attic from below. Consider also that cold bridging may be causing a 'cold spot' in the perimeter extremities of the attic space. Take care to insulate around pipe penetrations, rafters and joists effectively, using insulated board as required. Consider removing the attic floor insulation (assuming this was used) and insulating the roof at rafter level. It will cost more to heat the house with this increased volume in the attic, but worth it if you use the space. When fitting the new insulation, you must take care that if going between the rafters, the insulation does not impede the natural ventilation between it and the slate or tile roof covering. Pat McGovern, chartered building surveyor and a member of the Society of Chartered Surveyors Ireland This brings us to the next cause of dampness on my list: inadequate ventilation. Perhaps the insulation that was installed has impeded the airflow from the soffit vents to the ridge at the peak. In most older houses, soffit ventilation is the most common form of attic insulation but is made redundant once quilts of insulation are packed in at eaves. A good flow of air must be maintained between the roof covering and the new insulation. Venting the attic can take many forms, including the installation of traditional open vents, fans or a mechanical ventilation system. Avoid blocking airflow with any new insulation, be that a vent or a ventilation gap. Consider gable vents if cross-ventilation is required or would help. [ Mould loves Ireland's damp climate – what can you do to fight its spread? Opens in new window ] Check that current vents are clear and free from blockage (and not stuffed with newspaper). Also check if a mechanical fan in the bathroom or en suite is simply ducted into the attic space above and not out through a roof tile/slate ventilator. The third main cause, inadequate heating, may be remedied by placing a heater in the space, ideally on a timer. The mould may be caused by warm air from the house rising and condensing in the attic insulation. In this case, consider installing a vapour barrier. This should be installed on the warm side of the insulation (facing the living space) to prevent warm, moist indoor air from reaching the insulation layer. Use an airtight seal at joints to close gaps where moisture could enter. Be sure to check for existing leaks, whether from a missing or broken slate or tile, poorly pointed or bedded ridge and hip tiles, leaking valley or parapet gutters or leaking chimney flashing. Check also that any roof timbers in proximity to these leaks are not affected by timber decay. Can these dry out properly? And, of course, check the water storage tank and associated pipework for leaks. If your insulation and venting work in unison, and there is no way for water to leak in, you should not have a mould problem in the attic.
