Where we live in Bucks we are lucky enough to be within walking distance of a gorgeous village, Chalfont St Peter has some really unique shops and places to eat. This Mother's Day why not consider supporting your local businesses and shop locally?
Just on my high street we have an array of fantastic unique gift shops as well as other local business who provide photography services, beauty treatments and much more.
I've managed to get some really lovely gifts in the past most recently a framed print of our beautiful village taken by a local photographer Paul Upward and framed by Cath at Emerald Framing in the village. I've also had some wonderful treatments at my local beauty salon Calme - facials are to die for - plus bought a really unique gift from Marie at Fired Works for a wedding anniversary gift a photo on glass it's stunning. If you head into see Adele at Adele Kelly boutique she will always help you pick out something to put you ahead of the fashion pack, as well as stocking some amazing gifts.
One of my new favourite places to eat is the Jolly Farmer with a Sunday roast that melts in your mouth and the most amazing gin and cocktail menu it really is a treat all round. For a coffee and a sweet treat try the Breadhouse - with a children's play area and board games you can spend a cosy couple of hours there.
There's something really comforting about seeing familiar faces as you wonder down your local high street, that sense of home you just don't get elsewhere. We've lived here for four years and I can honestly say I've never felt at home as I do here in this village. Take a wonder down your local high street, you never know what you may discover.

text: I find good ol' Civ 5 incredibly frustrating in one aspect: attempting to be peaceful and friendly with the computer players. On Warlord difficulty, I was just playing as Siam, and had a long Friendly relationship with Wu Zetian, about 300 turns. I joined in an classical era war, we traded frequently, and made several declarations of friendship. I was aiming for a diplomatic victory, so I hadn't been in a war since Wu and I eliminated Hiawatha from the game. The only negative I had with her was "They believe you are building new cities too aggressively!" I had only built one new city in many, many turns. Then, suddenly, she is denouncing me. It does not make sense to me that she could flip so abruptly from Friendly to Denouncing, followed by Guarded. I guess it's silly to try to be friends with the computer, but this experiences make me want to just conquer everyone first, then decide which victory to get after there's only one weak rival left.

text: Brett WhiteThanks Ross. Good morning everybody. I walked by the main ballroom this morning at about 8:30 and there were two people listening to the speech in there, so I'm happy to have more than two people in here this morning – maybe it's because it's later. Okay. Most of you if you have followed CBG the last few years have seen this deck, and what we do is we use the same format for every presentation; we just update the numbers. And I'm going to run through the standard pages fairly quickly and Gil will hit the financials in the end, then we'll take Q&A for whatever time is left. So if you're not familiar with the firm, CBG is a commercial real estate services firm, a business services firm like any other. We just happen to operate in the commercial real estate asset class. We are by far the leading global brand. We've been in business well over 100 years. We have more than 400 offices in over 60 countries, and we are number one in most of the world's largest business centers. Broad capabilities – as you can see here, we're number one in every one of our business lines – leasing, investment sales, corporate real estate outsourcing, appraisal and valuation, commercial mortgage brokerage, commercial real estate investment management, which we'll get to in a bit, and our development business. We have terrific scale and diversity. We're about 1.6, 1.7 times the size of our nearest competitor, tens of thousands of clients. We do business with about 80% of the Fortune 100, and you can see here we did about $160 billion of transaction activity in 2011. We are recognized as the global leader, have been for many, many years. We're the only firm in our space that's on the S&P 500. We're the only firm in the Fortune 500. The firm that tracks brand recognition in our industry has ranked us the number one brand for every year the survey has been done, which is 11 years. IAOP ranked us again as the number one real estate outsourcing firm, which is very important to our corporate real estate services business. Number one in the Green rankings, and Wall Street Journal gave us a nice accolade last year as well.

By Richard Wolf, USA TODAY
WASHINGTON Two groups of Medicare beneficiaries — those with low incomes and those with few health problems — are the slowest to sign up for the program's new prescription-drug coverage.
Most beneficiaries currently eligible for the plan will face higher costs if they sign up after the May 15 deadline. Premiums will rise by 1% a month after then.
The Bush administration estimates that about 7 million eligible Medicare recipients have not signed up for drug coverage. Some outside groups, such as the Kaiser Family Foundation and Avalere Health, a health care research company, put the figure at 14 million.
Two groups are in short supply:
• Low-income seniors and disabled Americans who could qualify for extra financial help have been the hardest to enroll, often because of educational or language barriers. Up to 8.2 million were originally estimated to be eligible, but only 1.6 million have been approved.
Millions of low-income people have not applied for federal subsidies that would nearly eliminate their out-of-pocket costs. Others sought the extra help but failed the income or asset tests and declined to join the program at full cost.
"It would be optimistic to say we'd get to 2 million," says James Firman of the National Council on Aging, who heads the outreach effort to low-income groups.
• Seniors who take few expensive drugs have been slow to enroll, which actuaries assumed from the start would happen. Officials have urged them to join a plan as protection against future illnesses. Healthier people help spread the insurance risk and hold down costs.
While there are no exact numbers, "people who are healthier are going to be a bit less likely to enroll," says Mark McClellan, administrator of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.
The administration plans to release figures this week showing that nearly 30 million Medicare beneficiaries have drug coverage. That includes 7 million who signed up voluntarily. The rest had prior coverage from Medicaid, managed-care plans, private employers, or federal and military retiree plans.
"We are well on our way to achieving our goal of ... 28 (million) to 30 million enrollees in our first year," says Health and Human Services Secretary Michael Leavitt.
A year ago, the administration predicted the program would attract 39 million of Medicare's 43 million beneficiaries in 2006. The Congressional Budget Office projected 37 million.
McClellan says actuaries "lowered their estimates" to reflect difficulties in signing people up.
"The whole purpose of this drug benefit was to get drug coverage in the hands of all Medicare beneficiaries," says Dan Mendelson, president of Avalere Health. "Where are the people? That's the question."

Cat Scratches: Calipari keeping the load light as unbeaten buzz intensifies
By this point, you might think John Calipari would be carrying the weight of the world on his shoulders.
His team piling up wins and the nation's last remaining unbeaten, he had reason to be wound up tight knowing LSU would be ready to give the Wildcats its best shot on Tuesday.
Instead, he was sitting on the team plane bound for Baton Rouge, La., hatching a prank to play on rabid Kentucky fans.
It started with a text message sent to Deputy Athletics Director DeWayne Peevy that eventually became this tweet.
I thought Trey got on plane but we can't find him.
-- John Calipari (@UKCoachCalipari) February 10, 2015
Peevy's initial reaction was to literally search the plane for Lyles, who had inspired continual speculation in recent weeks with an illness that had kept him out of action since Jan. 29.
"And when he did that, I knew 'Uh-oh. This is gonna be absolutely outrageous,' " Calipari said. "And we had people camped out at the hotel. We had people camped out as we got off the bus."
Once the confusion was overcome, the tweet went out. More than 2,000 retweets and a #WhereIsTrey hashtag later, Coach Cal had a national story on his hands. ... read the full preview

Kentucky Head Coach John Calipari
Opening statement …
"I just told my staff that I came up with stuff that I've never come up with before in my life. I did stuff today and was thinking of ways to try and get out of that workout today. I went outside to greet people. I did not want to work out today. I hope my team is not feeling the same way."
On what his workout consists of …
"I have seafood diet. I see food and I eat it. I eat light. As soon as it turns light, I start eating."
On why he didn't want to work out …
"Just beat down."
On the Trey Lyles going missing prank …
"The only reason I did it—I was on a plane, and I'm thinking our fans are going nutty and they have to loosen up a little bit. This isn't life or death. It's not March. I tweeted or texted Dewayne Peevy the tweet that you saw. He got up and started looking around the plane and I said, 'It's a tweet, you idiot. He's right here in front of us.' When he did that, I knew, 'Uh oh, this is going to be absolutely outrageous.' We had people camp out at the hotel and people camped out as we got off the bus – scouts with the hat. 'What do you do?' 'Oh, I'm a retired dentist.' 'Really? Why is one sock blue and one sock gray?' It was just stupid. It was also for the team. I wanted them to understand. I keep telling them, 'What's the worst (thing that could happen)? I'll say it this time, if we lose this game, then we're 22-1, 23 or whatever it is. What's it matter? Just go play and try to get better.' "
On what losing Trey for that period of time did to cause changes …
"One guy can shift everybody into spots they need to be in. Guys have to be willing to sacrifice three minutes or two minutes. There are times where we have to go at him, which may take a shot away from other guys, but what does it matter? At the end of the day either you play or you can't play. Reality. Either you're an efficient player or not. We don't need to see you for 40 minutes. That's all ego stuff, but there's a clutter that goes along with that we'll fight it until the end of the year to keep everybody away from all of what I would call the clutter of trying to infiltrate guys minds and all that stuff."
On the biggest challenge for the team to be at its best in March …
"We talked yesterday about winning time. When you get teams down 13 or 14 then you have to get it to 20. We have a way of getting it to six. I told them in the NCAA Tournament, when that becomes a six and they hit a three ball, then the weight of the world is on you now and not on them. They're going to play out of their minds and you can end the season based on a three-minute stretch where you didn't get it from 16 or 14 to 20. That's the issue. When you have the fifth-youngest team in the country, they're not mature enough at that point. They do a chin up or a look-away pass, take a shot they don't need to take. They stop defending and say, 'Come on, it's only one play.' We're still working through that. We've been beat up and a little injured. We'll see going forward."
On if youth is the problem…
"Most of it is. Last year I told them, you look at Wichita State, they had us down 10, they messed around and we got back in the game. And all of a sudden the weight of the world was on them at the end of the season and their season ended. Shouldn't have played us. It was a bad seed either trying to do us or them whoever it was, bad seed, but it did happen. We had to play the game and that was the outcome. That is what I told our team yesterday."
On what has changed about Willie Cauley-Stein's game…
"Well, I went on the plane after and I walked down the aisle of the plane and I looked at him and said, 'Jeez, your ankle is hurting you today, huh?' "
On if Julius Randle is the best player he has ever coached (Asked by Julius Randle, who stopped by the presser)…
"No (laughter). I'm so happy the Lakers have to deal with him."
On talks of changing the shot clock time to 30 seconds…
"They are not going to ask me about that, but we can all say it is about fouling. That is why the scoring is where it is right now. I would say 30 seconds would be fine, (but it) doesn't change the game at all. Maybe adds four or five possessions. But if you keep fouling like we foul, scoring is going to stay the same. If you want more scoring, you are going to need to loosen up the game if you think that's what makes the game great. If there is body-to-body contact that is not obviously created by the offense, then call a foul every single time. We coaches will adjust or we will foul out our team, go crazy and get thrown out of games. May take a year or two but call fouls. They are already in the rule book. Last year we didn't have the stomach for it. We did it for four or five months and none of us had the stomach for it. The NCAA didn't have the stomach, the officials didn't, the coaches didn't. To get this right, it took three years in the NBA – three to say this is the rule, officials will be fined, it is not changing. You adjust or you are out and that is where we have to go with this. Thirty seconds would be fine, but 30 seconds would be five more possessions to foul somebody."
On the possibility of freshman ineligibility…
"I say this: Every decision we should make should be about these kids. Now, is that the best decision for these kids? Or are we worried about individual programs? So let me ask you this: Your son is 6-5, skinny, and over the summer he grows seven inches and gains weight and becomes Shaq. But he had to go to college because at the time he was 6-5- and 120 pound. He should stay in school three years because of a baseball rule? Now is that good for the program, the coaches, or the players? If you want the baseball rule, let them go any time that they want. They can go as 11th graders, 12th graders, their first, second, third year in college. Or, go to two years, and then do what you are supposed to, to take care of these kids while they are here. Two years in college will give them almost three years of an education (and) get them back here (to finish up). Now we have educated people. Our kids come back anyway whether they leave after one year. You know what is funny? When you are in the Ivory tower, and you are not down in this, you would make a statement that kids don't even go the whole year. If you want to ask our president of what he thinks about our players, how they finish the term, how we have 13 out of 16 players with a B average. Now they go to class. It's not Internet or correspondent. Some of you may be doing that, but we are not. There is not a cluster in one class. They go to class. They do what they are supposed to, but they (have) a genius. Again, I am not that smart, I'm not the sharpest knife in the drawer, but I will tell you that when I look at this I look at what is right for the kids. Not me, not the school, not the program, not basketball this animal. What is right for these kids. If it's right for them, it's right for all of us."
On what the guys on the bench said when you said I hope we lose …
"I heard a couple say, 'I hope we don't!' "
On if Cal had ever fist bumped an opposing player like he did at the LSU game …
"Yeah, I have. A kid from Syracuse when I was at Memphis was killing us. Johnny. And I said, 'Kill 'em, Johnny! You just kill him!' He looks at me and says, 'You crazy.'"
On Cauley-Stein and how his personality helps hold the team together …
"Willie is Willie and I want him to be who he is. I'm trying to get him to understand how good he can be. How you got to take risks, how you have to work, nothing is going to be given to you. How you have to relish physical play. How you have to get in this gym and spend more time and build your own self-esteem and self-confidence. That why wouldn't you want to be the best player in the country. Tell me, does it scare you? Is that too hard? 'Ah, just let me be the eight (man), I'm OK.' Well, he can be as good as he wants to be and that's the issue I have with him all the time – and it's not an issue; it's what we talk about. It was the same thing when I got him to start reading. You're talking about a really bright kid saying, 'Well, I don't like school. Why? Tell me why? It's academics, it's learning, it's expanding your mind. Why don't you? That's why we started reading together. But he's a great guy, really intelligent, great heart, kind hearted. I just want him to be as good as we all see in spurts."
On what books Coach Cal and Cauley-Stein have been reading …
"We read 'The Energy Bus'together, we read 'God Never Blinks.' We've read about four books."
On scoring and Makalya Epps and Devin Booker playing a game of 'horse' and who would win …
"Wow, she played good. Forty-two points. I told Matthew (Mitchell) it's great coaching, let her go. She's a good player. I'm happy for her."
On the NBA All-Star Game maybe changing to a platoon system …
"I think the chemistry and offense won't be good if they do that (laughter). That's fine whatever they do. I'm just happy a bunch of our players are in it. Whether it's Nerlens (Noel) being in the sophomore game, whether it's Brandon Knight, who if one more guy drops out I think he is in, but he is in the skills. And then the other three. Not sure if Anthony (Davis) is playing, don't know if he is or not. But DeMarcus (Cousins) and John (Wall), two of those guys are starting. So I'm proud of our guys and the other guys are doing well. I mean, they are playing well and doing well."
Freshman forward Trey Lyles
On what he thought about the "where is Trey" Twitter prank …
"That blew up kind of big. My mentions on Twitter wouldn't go away, so a lot of people were interested in it, getting into it. I thought it was funny. Coach was trying to have a nice little joke going there. I thought it was pretty funny. Coach had a good sense of humor with that and he played it out well. It worked for a little bit."
On the number of people who actually thought he was missing …
"Yeah, that's pretty funny. I don't think anybody would let me disappear and miss a plane, so yeah."
On if he's over his sickness …
"Yeah, I'm feeling 100 percent, back to normal. Everything's fine."
On what he had …
"I just had strep throat, wasn't feeling good for a few days. Coach and them just wanted to keep me away from the guys so they wouldn't come down with anything."
On if he felt 100 percent in the LSU game …
"I didn't feel 100 percent but I wasn't tired or anything like that. Just had to get back into the rhythm of things, had a couple days of practice before that, and then going into the game. But now I feel back to normal, hopefully be able to play well tomorrow."
On if it reinforced what he needs to do for the team watching them while he was sick …
"Definitely. It was frustrating watching them, wanting to be out there with them, but I just learned from it, just saw where I need to go out there and do certain things to make an impact."
On what he needs to do specifically …
"Coach talked a lot about me just going out there and rebounding. That's one thing. And then scoring on those opportunities I get, you know, finding open guys and just playing defense. Stuff like that."
On how much practice and the game affected him …
"It didn't affect me really that much. I wasn't that out of shape. I had been working out days prior to that, so I kind of got my wind back doing those things. A couple days of practice really helped for the game."
On if he felt isolated while he was sick …
"Yeah, I was by myself a lot. It was pretty boring, but, you know, I still had to watch the games and still had to text the guys and wish them good luck and stuff like that."
On if he felt disconnected from the brotherhood of the team at all …
"Definitely, but they kept me in the group, texted me to see how I was feeling and stuff like that. We went back and forth. They kept me as close as possible."
On if he was nervous they might lose one of the games while he was out …
"No, definitely not. I believed in them and I knew they'd pull it out in both games, and that's what they did: They went out there and performed."
On where he watched games …
"I watched them in my room and my dad came down for a couple of days and we watched them together and just talked about it, so it was pretty good."
On if he yelled at the TV or stayed calm …
"Nah, I was pretty calm, just sitting and watching the guys, seeing some mistakes, you know, but then just noticing that it happens and seeing what Coach talks about and stuff from his point of view."
On if Cal let him in on the "Where is Trey" joke …
"Yeah, he told me on the plane and he made me walk into the hotel with my hood on and stuff like that. Just made sure nobody saw me for a couple of hours, so it was pretty funny, I think."
On if he had to be careful on his social media …
"Yeah, I did until the next day when (fans) saw me at shoot around with his birthday picture, so then after that I was pretty much able to do whatever."
On what it says about where Cal is at, willing to play a prank the day before a big game …
"Yeah, I think that he just wanted to have some fun and take some pressure or whatever away from the guys and just show that it's still fun to be able to play games and stuff like that. We definitely had some fun with that one."
On Cal saying it's not the end of the world if they lose a game and the outside pressure to stay undefeated …
"I don't think there's any pressure on us unless we put pressure on ourselves. A loss now doesn't mean anything. The six games in March and April, those are the ones that really count. Those are the ones we're playing toward. If we end up taking a loss, I don't think it'll affect us that much."
On if he's ever been in a game where his coach was cheering for the other team …
"Uh, never been in a game before like that, but, you know, Coach Cal has his ways of motivating us and that's one of them, so I wasn't surprised by it."
On the way Willie Cauley-Stein has played lately and how much his dunks get the team going …
"I think he's just got more confidence in himself now. We talk a lot and we're pretty close. He just seems to be (happier) with himself and he's going out there and just doing what he can do, playing how he knows how to play, and that's just with energy and being athletic and stuff like that. Those dunks, they got everybody pretty excited on the bench in games and just shows his athletic ability, and he can do that whenever he wants."
On if he jumped up when Cauley-Stein dunked at Florida …
"Definitely. That was—it was superb. I wasn't expecting it, but it was out of nowhere and got everybody hype and got the game going better for us."
Freshman guard Devin Booker
On if there is a special relationship with Dominique Hawkins and the fans since he is a Kentucky native …
"I know obviously it's like his hometown here, so they all love him. I mean, they all love everybody, but obviously it's special for Dom because he's from here. But I respect that. He's at home so he probably knows a lot of people in the stands. It's just Big Blue Nation."
On what they missed without Trey Lyles …
"Rebounding. He brings that to the team every time. He attacks the offensive glass and defensive rebounds. He's like a 6-10 3-man. That helps a lot."
On if he pays attention to his shooting percentage …
"No, I'm not focused on that. Like I said, just keep doing the same thing. Focus on my own shot and I'll be alright."
On game preparation …
"We run through the team's sets and watch film also. I guess like a regular team, watch film, run through their sets and focus on their key players. I think our team is pretty good so we can go out there and put it together and find a way to get wins."
On what each coach does in the game preparations …
"All of them, really. Robes (John Robic) does more of the film, KP (Kenny Payne) does more of the personnel. It's all over. They all help out."
On Trey Lyles going into the team hotel with his hood up, undercover at LSU …
"Yeah, I guess he was just having a good time with it."
On what it says about Coach Cal's mindset that he can have Twitter pranks prior to a big game …
"He's just having fun with it, and that's what it's all about. It's cool for the coach to be able to do that and not be so uptight and just have fun with the whole process."
On if that shows that he's confident in the team that he's able to do that …
"I guess so. I feel like he's confident in us."
On UK assistant coach John Robic …
"He does a lot, like I said, of the scouting things, all the film, all the personnel. He lets us know what plays they're going to run. He does all of that. On the court he gets us going also."
On if they're worried about a letdown Saturday …
"I wouldn't say so. Every time we go out there – I think we're going to bring more fight this game. Like I said, we've been letting teams get off the hook when we're up 10 or 13. I feel like we should be able to put away teams now."
On what's changed that's pushed Willie Cauley-Stein's recent dunks and having fun on the court …
"I don't know what's changed, but it definitely does look like he's having fun now. He's dunking on everybody and that's bringing energy to the team. That's what we needed, plays like that. He's a special type of guy."
On his reactions to some of his dunks …
"It's just crazy. I don't think anybody else can do it in the country right now. He's 7-foot and he's athletic like a guard. He's coordinated. It's just unbelievable."
On the key to avoiding runs like the one LSU had Tuesday …
"It's just becoming complacent when we're up and feeling like they're going to step away by themselves. We need to know that teams aren't going to go away. They want to beat us really bad so we just need to keep going."
On Cal's celebration after an LSU 3-pointer …
"I think I was by him already, but I don't know what he was saying. I heard about it after the game. Somebody asked me the same question – what did he say? – but I don't know."
On Coach Cal did that …
"I think he said he wants us to lose, but I don't think he really meant that."
On if Coach Cal just wanted them to think that as motivation …
"Yeah, I think he's just trying to get the best out of us."
On if they feel any pressure as the wins keep going and teams wanting to be the ones who end it …
"It's a pressure, but it's a good pressure. I feel like that pressure is there at the start of the season. All teams want to beat us. We're going to get every teams' best. That's what we do. We go out there and we have to play against teams when they're at their best and I feel like that's good for us. It's a good pressure."
On if he buys the idea that there are some lessons you can only learn after a loss …
"Well, I guess I don't know yet. I guess we'll see then."
On keeping in mind that there's a bigger prize even if they did lose …
"Exactly. Like I said, every time we go on the court we try to win. We're focused on winning. But I feel like a loss wouldn't be too bad. A loss in March or April would be a bigger deal. Like I said, we just have to go out there and try to win every game we're out on the floor."
On how much he saw Karl-Anthony Towns in high school and how much he knew this was coming …
"I knew it was coming during the summer. Like you said, I didn't get to see him much (in AAU). I saw him at McDonald's (All-America Game) and Jordan (Brand Classic), but that was only for like a two-day period. But wow. He's a special player. I saw that this summer in the open gyms and I knew his time was coming where he was just going to explode out like this."

Question: Why Isn't My 20-month-old Talking Yet?

A reader asks,

"Our 20-month-old granddaughter is not talking. Should we be concerned? She can say a few words (ma-ma, da-da, bye, woof) but uses them infrequently. She follows instructions (go get ____, throw this away, let's go to the car, etc.), communicates quite well without words and makes sounds. Are there other late-talkers of this age?"

Answer:

Yes, indeed there are. My son is one of them. He was 3 years old and speaking only a handful of words -- the same ones your granddaughter is using plus a few more. Just after turning 3, he began to speak in complete sentences and his vocabulary just exploded.

During that time of him not really speaking, it was clear that he had an understanding of just about anything I said and would follow instructions with no problem. There were no other issues in other areas of his development and he'd passed a hearing test with flying colors. It sounds like this is also the case with your granddaughter, but it's a good idea to have her hearing tested to rule out any problems there which can affect how her speech develops.

According to the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association, at 1 to 2 years of age, children should:

Say more words every month.

Use some one- or two- word questions ("Where kitty?" "Go bye-bye?" "What's that?").

Put two words together ("more cookie," "no juice," "mommy book").

Use many different consonant sounds at the beginning of words.

They also have a number of things you can do to help your granddaughter improve her speech development now and when she's older.

One of the things they recommend is that you ask open-ended questions instead of yes / no questions:

For example, rather than asking, 'Do you want milk? Do you want water?', ask, 'Would you like a glass of milk or water?' Be sure to wait for the answer, and reinforce successful communication: 'Thank you for telling mommy what you want. Mommy will get you a glass of milk.'

This addresses something that I see many parents and other caregivers do. It's so easy with everything we have going on in our lives. We get busy and maybe we're making breakfast in a rush and we just want to get the job done. We don't always leave room for lengthy verbal interactions. We also may not be in the habit of offering choices to our toddlers because they've been so dependent on us to make every decision for them since infancy. (If this sounds like you, start offering choices and you'll see much more than just language development taking place. You'll often see a reduction in behaviors like saying "No" and temper tantrums.)

Another similar issue I've seen many times is where children with older siblings and children of parents who practice attachment parenting speak later. Sometimes an older sibling does all the talking for a younger one and a parent who knows a child's cues often meets the child's needs before there is any verbal notification from the child. In either case, however, this isn't necessarily a bad thing. Those children are still communicating and learning and as they get older you'd never know they spoke less or later. Still, you can use the ASHA tips to help improve your granddaughter's language skills.

So, to sum up, right now I wouldn't worry about your granddaughter having a delay. If she is closing in on turning 3 years old and you've been working with her in the ways mentioned above but she still hasn't added new words or started putting words together, then you should talk with your pediatrician or seek the advice of a professional speech language pathologist.

In Central America the problem has been growing, with sex tourists attracted to the region by ever-cheaper flights as well as easily circumvented child protection laws.
One man, a British charity director, has dedicated himself to tracking down the offenders that governments have failed to prosecute.
Bruce Harris, of the Catholic children's charity Casa Alianza, wants to stop the area from becoming one of the world's biggest centres for child sex tourism.
"They leave millions of dollars in the country. Sex tourism is big money."
Paedophiles have been able to exploit loopholes in Costa Rica's child protection laws and, for years, the chances of being caught and punished were almost non-existent.
In a country where the authorities seemed reluctant to pursue offenders, child sex tourists appeared likely to get what they were looking for: anonymity and immunity.
After years of persuasion, Mr Harris finally managed to convince the government that the problem needed to be acted on.
Sting operations
He has recently filmed pimps undercover, set up elaborate stings to trap internet paedophile rings and harangued governments to change laws and act against offenders.
But some successful convictions - helped also by tougher laws and the appointment of a special prosecutor - have led to death threats for Mr Harris.
The country is now marketing itself as a modern holiday destination and trying to show that times are changing, but two of Mr Harris's biggest cases will test the country's resolve.
Madame Siani Monge Munoz - accused of being Costa Rica's biggest child pimp - has finally been arrested, 10 years after first being investigated by Mr Harris.
It is said she has a secret list of clients that includes major public figures and politicians.
Also, American tourist Arthur Kanev has just been extradited to Costa Rica on charges of sexually exploiting several young girls, after Mr Harris tracked him down in the US with the help of a television crime programme.
But international co-operation across borders as well as massive resources and training are required to bring more cases like these to trial or to prevent more abuse.

Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton will receive government intelligence briefings within the next few days, as arguments arise by both parties that the other's nominee is not equipped to receive sensitive information. The briefings are mostly likely to begin immediately next week once arrangements about timing and a secure government location are made.
The Republican and Democratic vice presidential candidates, Mike Pence and Tim Kaine, will also receive briefings. The briefings are meant to be provided on a non-partisan basis, and that the candidates would be advised of the classified nature of the material, though "operational and policy matters are not addressed."

I have said before that urban living is not the only solution to our energy and environmental problems, but it is a very important factor. The increased density available in cities limits automobile transportation, lessens commodity distribution impact and frees up arable land that is currently slated for sprawling development. It leads us to a more sustainable future. I do think that similar results can be had in small walkable towns with public transit options for commuters, but the largest impact will be made in the cities.
This leads to one of the most popular questions posed to anyone who lives in an urban environment . . . is it safe? Meaning, I suppose, am I likely to get mugged on the way to the mailbox or catch the black death from a rogue sewer rat as I fight off the unwanted intentions of the local crack addicts?
This is not a surprising question. The danger of cities is an idea built into our culture (anyone watch The Wire?) and does, of course, have some basis in reality. There are definitely parts of Philadelphia where I would hesitate to wander. However, there are also parts of rural New York where I have felt a similar hesitancy. This fear of the city is also, I think, a residual emotion that we carry from the beginning of the industrial revolution when the image of cities truly became that of filthy, disease ridden and dangerous hovels. Smog filled the air, sewage ran down the streets and poverty was rampant. This image embedded itself in the national consciousness and was set against the pseudo-bucolic vision of suburbia.
Safety became wrapped up in a kind of inaccessibility. The cul-de-sac is probably the best example of this mentality. Those who could afford the move sought to distance themselves from the density of the city, a condition that was seen as inseparable from crime and danger. They took pains to assure that their homes were on the way to nowhere, surrounded by nothing that might attract strangers. Suburbia became the realm of a fearful middle class, gating their communities and turning their roads back on themselves to escort the unknown from their neighborhoods.
However, for the most part the city isn't considerably more dangerous than the suburbs, and in fact may be safer overall. Sound crazy? Well, jump on the train to crazy town . . .
Urban Violence vs Suburban Violets
The city is certainly host to more violent crime than your average suburb or rural area. There are many reasons for this including, most notably, poverty. However, much of that crime is internal to sub-cultures that, for a variety of reasons, are more strongly represented in the city. The largest of these is the drug culture, a network of competing dealers, unstable users and the law enforcement assigned to deal with them. The average citizen in most urban neighborhoods will generally need to be very unlucky and/or very foolish to get caught up in this kind of violence. It does happen, but it is far more rare than your television might have you believe.
That said, the suburbs are not all sunshine and flowers (get it . . . violets?). Violent crime in suburban and rural areas is far from non-existent. In fact, in some areas the gap between urban and suburban crime per capita has decreased significantly. The difference is even less noticeable if you choose specific "safer" urban neighborhoods as the basis for comparison.
The Threat of the Unknown
One of the major concerns of those who pose the urban safety question is that of "the stranger" or the unknown person passing through a neighborhood. Many suburban developments have been designed for the expressed purpose of limiting sidewalk and street traffic only to those who "belong." In the city this is, if not impossible, at least undesirable. There has been strong evidence showing that increased activity on a street or neighborhood is a preventer rather than a promoter of crime. Dense housing, visible and accessible from the street also provides a deterrent to crime as every activity is forced into the public view. I could go on about this, but its been done many places already (and probably better). Check out this article on Neighborhood Crime.
Cars = Danger
The most interesting bit of information on this topic is a study pointed out by Discovering Urbanism
on the relative safety of cities when all factors are considered. The study, performed by UVA, looked largely at traffic deaths and homicides throughout Virginia. Combining both homicides and traffic deaths one could get a basic understanding of the relative safety of an area. With this in mind, denser, more walkable areas appeared much safer. Cities were by far the safest places on the study's list. Include traffic injuries, which are 50 times the death rate, and injuries from violent crimes, and I assume this disparity in relative safety would grow in the cities' favor.
Basically, you are in much more danger in a car then you are wandering through a "bad" neighborhood in the city. The more isolated you are and the longer your daily commute, the more this danger increases. By increasing our reliance on cars in an effort to escape the dangers of the city we have, in effect, placed ourselves in greater peril.
Your Turn
There are dozens of other factors that could be discussed in terms of urban safety but I think this should give us a good jumping off point. What other factors, real or imagined, create fear of the urban environment? How can cities in the process of renewal be designed for greater public safety? How does architecture and design play into this? Even if the suburban model of increasing isolation is an effective safety measure, is that the type of class-segregated society we want to create?
Tell me I'm wrong. Say that I'm right. But do it respectfully and do it in the comments.
