Speech therapists often work one-on-one with clients and develop individualized plans to treat each client. Using written and oral tests, and special instruments, therapists diagnose the cause and extent of speech impairments and analyze these impairments along with language and swallowing differences. However, clients can take several online theoretical and instructional in a speech therapy session to correct speech disability.
My fit brain provides the service of online speech therapy to the needy once.
Speech Therapy - How Does it Work?
Online Speech Therapy consultations are conducted live via an internet connection. The therapist communicates with the client via an internet link which provides good sound quality and a webcam. Therapy materials are administered via the computer screen and can be seen by both the client and the therapist simultaneously. Any additional materials and homework programs can be mailed. Therapy activities will generally be the same as those delivered in a face-to-face clinical environment. All you need is a computer, good internet connection, headphones (preferable) or speakers and a microphone (which is often already fitted on your computer). A webcam is not essential but may be helpful in some cases. All online assessments and services provided by communicating are conducted by a fully qualified and certified speech and language therapist/pathologist.
Who do We Provide a Service For?
Communicate offers services to both children, adults, and schools. Providing you have an internet connection, we can offer services to anywhere in the world. These services work best for children aged 5 years and above who have reasonable listening and attention skills.
- Language Difficulties – expressive and receptive language difficulties, specific language impairment, and word-finding difficulties
- Literacy Difficulties and Dyslexia- online therapy is an ideal way to work on literacy difficulties
- Training – if you need training relating to speech and communication difficulties, autism, special needs, or setting assistive communication devices or systems, this can be provided online
- Assessment – assessing speech, language, and literacy skills and providing reports.
Advantages of Online Speech Therapy and Teaching
There are a number of advantages to conducting therapy in this manner:
- Speech Therapy online may actually be more effective for some clients. Children with poor listening and attention skills and/or auditory processing disorders may benefit from the interactive nature.
- There is greater availability of therapy for individuals living in more rural areas or areas where there is restricted access to speech-language therapy services.
- There are financial benefits for both the therapist and the individual, as services "online" may be cheaper than "face to face" services, and there are no costs in travel, and less administration.
- There are time benefits, as services online do not require you to travel to a clinic, or the therapist to travel to your home. There may also be more flexibility around fitting in with your schedule.
- There are also environmental benefits, with services being done online, there is no petrol consumption and possibly less paperwork being produced.
- If you choose to have your therapy live with communicating we can provide access to programs and resources (via email) free of charge so that you can practice in your own time.
- All online assessment and services will be arranged and conducted by a qualified and certified speech and language therapists/pathologists.
Ten Ways a Speech-Language Therapist Can Help Your Child
There are ten ways a speech-language therapist can help your child are designed by My Fit Brain. These are the ways:
Articulation Skills/Speech Intelligibility
Articulation is the physical ability to move the tongue, lips, jaw, and palate (known as the articulators) to produce individual speech sounds which we call phonemes. For example, to articulate the /b/ sound, we need to inhale, then while exhaling we need to turn our voice on, bring our slightly tensed lips together to stop and build up the airflow, and then release the airflow by parting our lips.
Intelligibility refers to how well people can understand your child's speech. If a child's articulation skills are compromised for any reason, his intelligibility will be decreased compared to other children his age. SLP's can work with your child to teach them how to produce the specific speech sounds or sound patterns that he is having difficulty with, and thus increasing his overall speech intelligibility.
Expressive Language Skills
While speech involves the physical motor ability to talk, language is symbolic. In English, the symbols can be words, either spoken or written. We also have gestural symbols like shrugging our shoulders to indicate "I don't know" or waving to indicate "Bye Bye" or the raising of our eyebrows to indicate that we are surprised by something.
Expressive language then refers to what your child says. Speech-language pathologists can help your child learn new words and how to put them together to form phrases and sentences (semantics and syntax) so that your child can communicate with you and others.
Receptive Language/Listening Skills
Receptive language refers to your child's ability to listen and understand language. Most often, young children have stronger receptive language skills (what they understand) than expressive language skills (what they can say). An SLP can help teach your child new vocabulary and how to use that knowledge to follow directions, answer questions, and participate in simple conversations with others.
Speech Fluency/Stuttering
Stuttering is a communication disorder that affects speech fluency. It is characterized by breaks in the flow of speech referred to as disfluencies and typically begins in childhood. Everyone experiences disfluencies in their speech. Some disfluencies are totally normal but having too many can actually significantly affect one's ability to communicate.
In stuttering, we most often see the following types of primary behaviors: repetitions, prolongations, interjections, and blocks. We may also see secondary behaviors, typically in more severe cases of stuttering such as tension in the neck, shoulders, face, jaw, chest; eye blinks, nose flaring, other odd facial movements; clenched fists, stomping of feet; jerking or other unusual motor movements in arms, hands, legs, feet.
SLPs can teach your child strategies on how to control this behavior and thus increasing his speech fluency and intelligibility.
Voice and Resonance
Voice disorders refer to disorders that affect the vocal folds that allow us to have a voice. These can include vocal cord paralysis, nodules or polyps on the vocal folds, and other disorders that can cause hoarseness or aphonia (loss of voice). You can learn more about voice disorders on www.myfitbrain.in
A common voice disorder in young children is hoarseness caused by vocal abuse. Vocal abuse refers to bad habits that lead to strain or damage to the vocal folds such as yelling, excessive talking, coughing, throat clearing, etc. Speech-language pathologists with experience in voice and resonance disorders can work with children to decrease these behaviors and repair the strain/damage of the folds.
Social/Pragmatic Language
Social/ pragmatic language refers to the way an individual uses language to communicate and involves three major communication skills: using language to communicate in different ways (like greeting others, requesting, protesting, asking questions to gain information, etc), changing language according to the people or place it is being used (i.e. we speak differently to a child than we do to an adult; we speak differently inside vs. outside), and following the rules for conversation (taking turns in conversation, staying on topic, using and understanding verbal and nonverbal cues, etc).
SLPs can work with your child to teach them these social language skills so that they can more appropriate;y participate in conversations with others.
Cognitive-Communication Skills
Cognitive-communication disorders refer to the impairment of cognitive processes including attention, memory, abstract reasoning, awareness, and executive functions (self-monitoring, planning, and problem-solving). These can be developmental in nature (meaning the child is born with these deficits) or can be acquired due to a head injury, stroke, or degenerative diseases. SLPs can work with your child to help build these skills and/or teach your child compensatory methods to assist them with their deficits.
Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC)
Augmentative and Alternative Communication, also known simply as AAC, refers to "…all forms of communication (other than oral speech) that are used to express thoughts, needs, wants, and ideas. When SLPs are working with children, our number one goal is always communication. Sometimes, a child may have such a severe delay/disorder, that traditional oral speech is not possible or is not practical. In these circumstances, an SLP may work with a child and his family to come up with an AAC system to use instead of, or alongside of, speech.
It is very important to note, that these AAC methods are not always used to replace speech. In many circumstances, AAC is used as a bridge to speech. Children can use the AAC methods to communicate while still working on developing speech skills (when appropriate).
Swallowing/Feeding Issues
Speech-language pathologists, believe it or not, can be trained in pediatric swallowing and feeding issues in addition to speech and language issues. This is because, as SLPs, they have intimate knowledge of the structures and functions of the oral cavities and beyond. In fact, some SLPs have training in my functional disorders including tongue thrust.
Educating and Empowering you on how to best help your child
Hands down, the best thing an SLP can do for your child, is to educate you and empower you on how to best help your child. A speech-language pathologist may spend an hour or so a week with your child, but you spend hours and hours a week interacting with your child. You wake your child, get him ready for his day, read to him, talk to him, bathe him, and put him down to sleep at night. It is during these everyday routines that your child is learning the most and is given the most opportunities to communicate.
When you are equipped with the knowledge, skills, and confidence YOU can be the best "speech therapist" your child will ever have. So ask questions, take notes, do the homework, and work closely with your child's SLP. Together you can make an amazing team and change your child's speech problem

Psalm 30:11–12 (NKJV) You turned my wailing into dancing; you removed my sackcloth and clothed me with joy, that my heart may sing to you and not be silent. O Lord my God, I will give you thanks forever.
I read this story and had to share it:
Were you raised in a family that kept to this code? Years ago I met a woman who learned these rules so well she carried them into all her relationships. As treatment progressed, the roots of her silence were revealed.
When she was two her father hanged her—her mother cut her down moments before she would have died. You'd think this traumatic event would have initiated help for her dad. Instead, everyone acted as if nothing was wrong. Then her father burned down their house and her brother rescued her from her crib. No wonder this woman wasn't talking when she came to us. It took time, but she learned to break her lifelong rule of no talking.
Are you living by this code of silence? If you are, it's important that you break through and speak the truth. If you don't know how or know who to turn to–seek help from your pastor, or from a professional counselor. It's time to break the silence and be released into the plan of the Lord for your life!
Point to ponder- The Lord is speaking to you right now my sisters and brothers. It's time to break the silence in that area of your life that is literally destroying you! The love of the Lord is connecting with you in an intimate way right now.
Our Leadership team is especially thankful for those of you who provided financial donations and support in the month of June 2017 by partnering with us in efforts to advance the kingdom of God in this 21st century season: Special thanks to Mr. William Wilson, Ms. Annette Straker, Mr. David Straker, Kenneth Washington, and Ms. Gertrude Scott. Why don't you take the opportunity to write us on our blog and let us know how we are doing in serving you Great people, we'd love to hear from you!
Follow me on Twitter @Elder James Baker, as I endeavor to encourage and empower leaders of today and tomorrow!
Kingdom Blessings,
Pastor James Baker, Jr.
Thank you for using the Word Cup devotionals brought to you through Grace and Truth Leadership on (Word press). We are a faith-based, donor-supported ministry.

Patch 51
* The Maze now gives environmental hints when you are going in the right direction. This should make finding important rooms tremendously easier.
* The Ancient Armory's vault now also contains between 5 and 12 tattoo scrolls that teach sorcery skills.
* You can now yell in the maze and be heard anywhere in the maze. Part echoes, part confusion, but it helps you communicate.
* No longer has those silly double extra confirmations.
* Raising and lowering schools and intellect graphs now works properly. If you don't have enough stat points after sliding schools down and back up, it'll take from other stats, starting with Might.
* Knightcraft, Banditry, Sorcery, Witchery, and Alchemy are now included in the schools change area.
* A bunch of bugs and issues were fixed with this.
We've run a function that finds characters with 'illegal' int / schools and sets them to 1 in all stats.
They also have a free stat reset, so go stat reset if this happened to you.
(This isn't a punishment, the stat reset window will verify a new and working character setup with a legal amount of int)
* Stat change still only works with the classic client, but we are looking into adding it to Ogre.
* If you say, "What schools am I?", you will be given a report of your schools and remaining levels.
* If you look at a spell or skill, you can now see the Primary stat it depends upon for softcap and often spellpower or damage.
You can also see a Secondary stat, if applicable.
Ex: Blast of Fire will say Primary Mysticism and Secondary Intellect, since its softcap and spellpower is Myst, but Intellect also helps for damage.
* Fencing Mastery now has a description when you look at the fencing skill as a master.
* Hammers now Stun when they crit instead of knocking back. Spirit Hammers, however, for now, still knockback (for balance reasons, but also holy crusader imagery reasons)
* Hammer's mastery, the leap attack, now also applies knockback in addition to hammer's other qualities. This may be a bit strange or strong, we'll see, but it's an attempt to preserve the leap attack's combat flow control.
* If you lost your Sorcery tattoos, reserve or unreserve a spell, they'll come back now.
* TP gains over 300 points will always inform you now. For example, if you kill a boss and get 1200 TP, you'll see a message about it.
* Can't start or join any survivals from Desert Afterlife now.
All players who started survivals from the afterlife have retroactively been given 1 death per instance…… just kidding.
* Whenever tattoo scrolls are in a chest, vault, or player's inventory, their name changes to the skill they hold.
Tattoo scrolls on the ground are still just called 'tattoo scrolls' because you're too far away to see specifics without looking at their descrip.
So, for example, you'll pick up a 'tattoo scroll' from a tomb, but if you go to offer or drop it, or you put it in a chest, it'll be called 'spirit link' or 'empower' or 'entropy' etc.
* Just a reminder, for people asking for buffs to hex duration, their BASE duration was upped to a full minute a few patches ago.
* Passive quests have been fixed up a bit. Still working on them.
* Vecka now gives you a major sky heartstone when you find her in the Eternal Wastes as part of the desert quest line. She won't give you anything unless her father specifically sent you to find her. (aka you need the quest). This reward only happens once per character for now.
* Players who've already completed that step of the desert quest line will find a major sky heartstone in their inventory.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. Our complete line is non-GMO and 100% natural.
We maintain a low carbon footprint by sourcing locally. The containers that we provide our juices in are PETE #1 plastic bottles which are recyclable.
Interestingly plastic is a better choice for us than glass for the following reasons:
- Plastic uses considerably less energy than glass to be recycled.
- It is dramatically lighter than other bottle options, which means less fuel is used to create and deliver each bottle.
All Jump Start Juice bottles are 100% BPA free.
Jump Start Juice is manufactured in Gray, Maine, in a certified organic facility.
Refrigerate after opening.
Yes! We ship anywhere in the United States.
All of our products are OU certified kosher.
While you should check with your doctor first, the answer is usually "NO" because of the amount of natural sugar in the fruit that is used to make our juices.
Yes, Jump Start Juice is dairy-free.
Yes, all of our products are gluten-free.
Yes, fiber is great for regulating and cleaning out your digestive tract. Jumps Start Juice contains prebiotics which is a soluble fiber that helps repair and rebuild the good bacteria and yeast of the gut in conjunction with probiotics. It is almost like the fertilizer for probiotics
Yes, some people may feel some hunger in the first day or two. This is completely normal and should pass as your body acclimates to consuming liquids only. Many times, the sensation we are feeling is not true hunger. The truth is, most of us can go without solid food and be just fine. Usually, it is the ritual of eating at certain times that we mistake as hunger.
We recommend our Jump Start Juice Program for 1, 2 or 3 days. It is a great way to detox and get into that little black dress for a special occasion. You can do another 3 day cleanse every 14 days.
It is recommended that you cut out alcohol, processed foods, excess salt, white flour and bread products, and refined sugar a day or two before the program and load up on fresh fruits and veggies. This will make the transition a lot easier and help jump start the process.
Few people may experience a mild headache, dizziness, fatigue, and/or moodiness. This is completely normal. Drink lots of water and get plenty of rest and know that you will soon be feeling much better.
Jump Start Juice is 130 calories per serving. Please remember that these calories are calories with no additives, and Non-GMO produce.
We don't recommend juice only diets while you are pregnant or nursing. You should consult your doctor.
Absolutely! Exercise supports the process. Just remember if you are doing heavy exercise that you need to consume more calories to balance it. Drink one extra serving when performing heavy exercise.
It's true that our bodies do cleanse themselves naturally of some body toxins. However, the Jump Start Juice program gives your body a toxin break and jump starts your metabolism.
While most people feel great from the jump start, occasionally some feel worse before getting better. As best you can, take a "this too shall pass" mindset and increase water to flush. You can also get fresh air, walk, move and/or take a hot bath. In addition you may add alkaline greens, live refrigerated pre and pro biotics, as well as pea protein powder (as opposed to whey). They are good for you and alleviate symptoms.
Absolutely! One day can be very helpful. For some, a brief Jump Start Juice can be a confidence building exercise that leads to healthier habits. Others might add one day a week ongoing. It's ALWAYS good to add more fresh, ripe, Non-GMO, plant-based food and juices and if you only have 24 hours, you'll still reap the benefits.
We recommend consuming Jump Start Juice and plain, pure water. However, we understand that the program can be challenging and sometimes you just need a little something. The best option is to consume herbal teas. A small amount of sparkling water is ok, as long as it has no added ingredients. Gum is not recommended as it usually contains sugars or chemicals that initiate the craving process. A small cup of black coffee (no milk or creamers) or green tea with lemon in the morning is acceptable.
The first meals out of the program should be hydrating and light. Your digestive tract has been resting, so you don't want to jolt it awake immediately. You want to slowly ease it back into operation. Blended smoothies, soups, and salads are all great choices. Re-introduce heavier proteins and higher fat foods slowly and one at a time over a couple days following your Jump Start Juice program.
Many of us long-term juicers frequently "stay liquid" until dinner. Just make sure you drink enough Jump Start Juice and water so that when you sit down for dinner your hunger doesn't cause you to overeat. Order a big salad without dressing. You may have olive oil and vinegar on the side. Skip the croutons, breads, fried foods and casseroles. Absolutely! One day can be very helpful. For some, a brief Jump Start
Unlike added sugars like table sugar, high fructose corn syrup, agave or other sweeteners, fruits and vegetables contain natural sugars that are not linked to any adverse health effects. When you drink Jump Start Juice you are also absorbing the vitamins, minerals and enzymes from the fruit and vegetables. In fact, these foods are encouraged by health professionals due to their nutrient density. It is perfectly healthy to consume more grams of complex carbohydrates when you are doing our Jump Start Juice program since these carbohydrates will be your primary energy source throughout the program. Since no single food provides all of the nutrients your body needs, we recommend that you follow a balanced diet following our Jump Start Juice program.

Stowaway storage for sharpening stones
Not having room in my small shop for a dedicated sharpening station, I turned a cookie sheet into a stowaway station that tucks under a wall cabinet or on the underside of a shelf. The key is two grooved blocks. I attached them by driving screws up through them and into the cabinet. You also could hang the blocks by screwing down into them from above.
I put one rubber shelf liner on the sheet to keep the stones from sliding around in use, plus my three grades of waterstones, my stone holder, and a diamond plate. I stow a second piece of shelf liner above the stones. It goes under the tray when I put it down on the countertop. When I'm done sharpening and honing, I throw the extra piece of shelf liner on top of the stones, slide the tray into the grooved supports, and the counter is clear.

This could be a few minutes exchanging messages on Facebook, emailing some reference material, or could be days or even weeks of supporting someone.
I do this work because I love it, and I feel very strongly that it is needed in the world, and I am thankful for those who have been there for me when I was in need (though often, I have had no one). So, if you appreciate my work, or I have helped you in some capacity and you feel the desire to reciprocate in some way, you're more than welcome to.

Indoors & Outdoors
The waterproof protective coating with UV-Absorber allows for limited use of the tables and tabletops in outdoor settings as well.
Please note that the tables should not be subjected to direct sunlight for long periods of time. Additionally, the Sun Wood Tables should be protected from rain and snow. We recommend using sun- and rain protection when the table is not in use. If the tables are subjected to extremely strong sun- or heat exposure, undesired resin flow may occur.
An additional protective coating is necessary if the table is subjected to heavy-usage and/or cleaning.
It should also be noted that wood, as a natural material, can deform slightly or develop cracks. However, with the appropriate care, the tabletop will remain in good condition for many years.

A COVID Relief Program from PFC.
You can help a family in dire need of a meal by sponsoring a Comfort Food Care Package! These are unprecedented circumstances and in these desparate times Partnerships For Children is working hard to help struggling Austin families and homeless youth by matching COVER 3 (and other local restaurants) with those who desperately need a meal.
For $50 or $100, you can purchase a COVER 3 Comfort Food Care Package.
How the program works.
The Department of Family and Protect Services identifies families most affected by this pandemic and refers their name to Partnerships for Children. PFC then works with participating restaurants to assign meals to families in need and coordinates volunteers to pick up the meals and deliver (contact free) to the families.
Ready to sponsor a family?
- Call Denim Koshell at 512.914.1983 to donate a Comfort Food Care Package - simply provide your credit card and we'll take it from there.
- Your meal will be paired up with a family in need.
- Your $50 or $100 donation will feed a family in need and help keep us cooking!
Partnerships for Children is doing everything possible to answer the needs of our children and families during this pandemic. Child Protective Services caseworkers are still out working to ensure all our kids are safe and being taken care of, and we continue to hear stories like the one below of families that are in need.
"I have a 3 year old child in an adoptive home and the adoptive mother has an in-home daycare. This child has been hospitalized 3 times in the last year for respiratory distress so because of his elevated risk, we have required that the mother close her day care for 2 weeks. I'm wondering if there is anything you can help with financially to offset the cost of her lost income?"

I'm literally super excited as I'm typing this. I'm a huge fan of tanning (as most of you will probably know from my reviews) but of all the types of false tanning, I'm a gradual tan girl.
I tend to leave my gradual tan application to the evening, right before bed when I've had a shower. I stick on my tanning mitt and lather myself with gradual tan body lotion while my hair air dries a little.
It's possibly one of my favourite bits of 'me time' I give to myself. I'll usually have a green tea on the go (rock and roll), then it's PJ time, and then bed. If we're talking a Thurs-Sat night though, then switch up the green tea for a red wine…
When I snuggle into my bed after tanning, I can't help but worry about the false tan slowly rubbing off onto the bed sheets, and gradually developing. I mean, it depends how long I leave it, but even when I've waited an hour before getting under my duvet, I still notice lightly tanned streaky sheets in the morning.
So much so it makes me actually dread tanning in the evening. But as I like my gradual tan to develop during the night so that I'm lightly bronzed in the morning, there was never really much I could do.
But then…. last month I heard about an exciting new brand. Tannco have launched the first UK-based self-tanning bed sheet protector. At last, a brand who understand the epic fails surrounding trying to pull off a false tan, making the self-tanning experience a little bit easier.
I managed to get my hands on the Black Tannco Sheet – a 100% Habutai Art Silk, vegan-friendly bedding sheet in black which works to protect your sheets. So while my tan develops overnight, it doesn't have to start developing all over my cream bed sheets, too.
Because it is made with Habutai Art Silk, the sheet gives a very luxurious finish, so it feels reeeeally nice sleeping above and underneath it (I literally just snuggle between the black sheets). The silk finish is actually super nice while we've got warmer nights at the moment too!
I'm literally finding this product to be such a revelation for me, and can't understand why I've never tried to find one of these before, or why no one else in the UK has launched one!
The bed sheet costs £34.99 and also comes in a silver version too. The silver one would actually go with my grey and cream bedding really well, but there is just something about sleeping on the silky black version that makes me feel safer. I mean, you're never going to see any tell-tale tan streaks show up on this!
I know I've said it earlier on in this post, but I'm genuinely so impressed with this launch. It's literally the missing item to the beauty and tanning world – I see big things for this brand.

I would highly recommend Eric at SimpleLogic for all your web design, and administrative management needs.

Royal Rules Prince William and Prince Harry Have Broken Over the Years
Princes William and Harry are no strangers to breaking rules. Most often they are perfectly well-behaved members of the British royal family, but every now and then they break royal protocol in small — and sometimes, very big — ways. Keep reading to see how they've broken royal rules over the years.
1985: Prince William attends a public school
Technically, Princess Diana strayed from royal protocol by sending Prince William to a public school but we like to think of this as the beginning of Prince William's — and Prince Harry's — life as a non-traditional royal. Even though both princes attended public schools, William became the first heir to the throne to attend a public school when he began his education at Jane Mynor's nursery school, according to the Los Angeles Times.
Hint: Prince William makes a public statement with one photograph.
2006: Prince William kisses Kate Middleton in public
Kate Middleton joins Prince William on a ski trip in January 2006. There, paparazzi photograph the couple skiing. The two even kiss for the cameras. While Kate Middleton has been photographed skiing with Prince William before, this is the first time they've kissed publicly, confirming their status as a couple. This is a big deal because royal protocol calls for no public displays of affection.
Hint: Queen Elizabeth II breaks protocol for this former first lady.
2009: Queen Elizabeth II hugs Michelle Obama
Prince Harry and Prince William aren't the only members of the royal family to break the rules. In 2009, Queen Elizabeth II broke protocol by putting an arm around then first lady, Michelle Obama, when she and then President Obama visited London, according to NBC. Michelle Obama returned Queen Elizabeth II's move by placing her arm around the monarch.
Hint: Moved by a girl's story, Prince William shows affection and breaks royal protocol.
2010: Prince William hugs a teenage girl
While attending a charity gala, Prince William broke protocol by hugging a teenage girl who moved him with her story about overcoming homelessness with help from the Centrepoint organization, according to E! News. Prince William's mother, Princess Diana, also supported the organization. So touched by the girl's story, Prince William and and Kate Middleton invited her to their wedding.
Hint: One man hopes he isn't beheaded for how he broke royal protocol.
January 2, 2011: Prince Harry hugs winner of the World Darts Championship semifinal
"I came off stage buzzing, and the next thing I knew Prince Harry was coming over to me and giving me a big hug, so I kissed him on the cheek for some reason," Adrien Lewis, the winner of the World Darts Championship seminal, told The Mirror. "I hope he didn't mind and I don't get beheaded before the final," Lewis said. Technically, Prince Harry broke royal protocol first by giving Lewis a hug.
Hint: Prince Harry's role in his brother's wedding is a first.
April 29, 2011: Prince Harry is Prince William's best man
In an unprecedented move, Prince William names Prince Harry his best man. Royal tradition states the groom choose a "supporter" rather than a "best man." "A "best man" is usually only appointed if somebody who isn't royal marries a Princess," according to The Daily Mail. Now, the rumor mill is abuzz with whether or not Prince Harry will name Prince William, his best man, for his wedding to Meghan Markle.
Hint: Prince William breaks royal protocol with millions of people watching.
April 29, 2011: Prince William marries Kate Middleton
Prince William broke royal protocol in a huge way by marrying Kate Middleton. As a commoner, Kate Middleton was not of royal lineage. Therefore, she wouldn't have been considered a suitable match for the future King of England.
Hint: What happens in Las Vegas doesn't stay there for Prince Harry.
August 2012: Prince Harry plays strip pool
While vacationing in Las Vegas, Prince Harry is photographed naked in a hotel room. Supposedly, Prince Harry found himself naked after playing strip pool — he must not be a very good pool player. We're not sure this breaks any specific royal rule but we're guessing the royal family frowns upon playing strip pool or any game involving nudity.
Hint: Prince Harry breaks protocol by petting a dog.
December 2015: Prince Harry pets a dog
In December 2015, Prince Harry broke royal protocol by petting a dog who won Britain's Got Talent, according to The Sun. Prince Harry left his security detail to go back and pet Matisse, the winning dog. "Prince Harry was very sweet and lovely," Jules O'Dwyer, the dog's owner and trainer, said. "He said he doesn't have a dog himself but he loved Matisse."
Hint: Prince William hugs this iconic Star Wars character.
April 19, 2016: Prince William and Chewbacca hug
Another instance of Prince William breaking royal protocol comes when he and Prince Harry tour the Star Wars film set outside of London and meet the creative teams and some of the cast members. Prince William and Chewbacca share a hug, according to CBS. Again, hugs aren't technically allowed. But who can resist hugging Chewy? No one, not even a prince.
Hint: Prince William gets scolded by Queen Elizabeth II on national TV.
June 11, 2016: Queen Elizabeth II scolds Prince William
During the Trooping the Colour ceremony, Prince William innocently crouches down to speak with his son, Prince George, while they're on a balcony at Kensington Palace greeting the public, according to UsWeekly. When Queen Elizabeth II sees what's going on, she taps Prince William on the shoulder and says, "William, stand up." He obliges his grandmother and does as she asks. No doubt Prince William crouching down breaks some form royal protocol.
Hint: Kate Middleton and Prince William snub Queen Elizabeth II and her Christmas invitation.
December 2016: Prince William bucks Christmas tradition
A Christmas tradition for the British royal family is to spend the holiday at Sandringham House with Queen Elizabeth II. Instead of following tradition, Prince William, Kate Middleton, and their kids spent Christmas in 2016 with Kate's side of the family. The Middletons welcomed Kate, William, and their growing family to their home in Berkshire, according to Marie Claire.
Hint: Prince William continually breaks this royal rule.
July 2017: Prince William travels with his wife and kids
Prince William and Kate Middleton break royal protocol every time they fly with their son, Prince George, and daughter, Princess Charlotte. Royal protocol states that two heirs should never fly on the same plane together to protect the lineage to the throne, according to E! News.
Hint: Like Prince William, Prince Harry broke this major rule.
May 2018: Prince Harry marries Meghan Markle
Like Prince William, Prince Harry is also in a relationship with a commoner. When Prince Harry began dating actress Meghan Markle, the world erupted with questions about their life as a couple. Nevertheless, the pair got married, which is another breach of protocol because Meghan Markle is not a royal.
Hint: Prince William and Prince Harry learned about breaking rules from their mother.
October 25, 1991: Princess Diana touches HIV/AIDS patients
It's hard to believe a simple handshake or hug can change the world's attitude toward a disease but that's exactly what happened when Princess Diana shook a man's hand, according to the BBC. "She did so without gloves, publicly challenging the notion that HIV/Aids was passed from person to person by touch." At the time, Diana told the press, "HIV does not make people dangerous to know. You can shake their hands and give them a hug. Heaven knows they need it."

The Finance Ministry today said safe harbour rules --- a set of norms that would enable the income tax (I-T) authorities to accept without scrutiny the tax returns by the Indian units of foreign companies -- would be soon put in place.
"Safe harbour rules are at an advanced stage of consideration. I can't share how the guidelines are going to be...it will be a very favourable programme... we are working on it and it will be in place as early as possible," Central Board of Direct Taxes Chairman S S N Moorthy said at an Assocham seminar here.
He said the norms would be taxpayer friendly. The Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) has set up a committee to formulate rules for the safe harbour provisions on transfer pricing returns.
Transfer pricing refers to the price at which one arm of a company, usually a multinational corporation, transfer goods or services to another division of the same organisation in order to calculate each arm's profit and loss separately.
The committee comprises senior tax officials and representatives of trade and industry as well as Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI).
Its objective is to set conditions under the safe harbour rules to facilitate acceptance of a transfer pricing return without scrutiny.
The committee is expected to set an acceptable margin which would act as a benchmark for the industry.
Moorthy also said the Direct Taxes Code bill (DTC) proposes General Anti Avoidance Rules (GAAR) to prevent abuse of double taxation avoidance agreement by some.
He assured that GAAR would be implemented in a very modest, responsible and tax friendly manner.
The CBDT Chairman also informed that DTC bill also proposed to bring public sector units under the ambit of Advance Rulings and Dispute Resolution (Authority) to resolve tax disputes.

Awesome another topic for you to boost your posts *facepalm*
Will you be starting it completely fresh or put old builds on it? And I think that you should design it into plots of land. Lets say I DAGANATOR3 am active here and build a lot on the map then I should receive a plot of land with my name, it would say all these were made by DAGANATOR3. If that makes sense.
As long as I rule underground I am happy with it
(smacks you)being stupid is gona start to hurt around here.

Last month it was my birthday. Whilst I was still awake early, Sam got up and went downstairs with H so I could have a lie-in; For breakfast we had some delicious pancakes and H decided to play ball and not throw any of it anywhere; We went out for a nice morning stroll in the sunshine; Then over H's nap time I had a quiet read and opened a few presents (so they didn't get pinched by little hands); When H woke-up we had a late long lunch in town where H enjoyed the people watching and ate all her food; A lazy afternoon followed where Sam and I watched a film as H played quietly; Bedtime went smoothly and then we had a delicious dinner before an early bedtime. The ideal birthday! The birthday that is absolutely nothing like what actually happened.
Even the most pragmatic and realistic of us fall-foul of "Instagram" delusions now and again. I have naively done this for my last two birthdays; My first two birthdays as a mum. Both times have ended in a frustrating day where I feel annoyed and a bit disappointed. The reason: I got my hopes up and forgot the cardinal rule of parenting:
My actual birthday started out at Sam's parents. My Father-in-Law's birthday is the day before mine so we went over there for joint birthday celebrations. So immediately my day didn't start so well as I never sleep well unless I'm in my own bed. But I had brekkie and was feeling quite chipper…until we got stuck in traffic on the M25. Fortunately H fell asleep in the car and only woke-up when we got back to town. So we went straight to Zizzi's for a late lunch.
The restaurant sat us on the dingy side of the restaurant next to a table with some rather distressed and shrieky children. I should have asked for another table but she was being chatty and fun so I didn't think. 15 minutes later the cheeriness was gone and the mood rapidly declined. To top it off, we had the slowest and most forgetful (read "useless") waiter possible.
After throwing her food everywhere and barely eating (which meant I didn't enjoy my pizza much either) H had a complete tantrum when I tried putting her in her buggy; She wouldn't hold my hand to walk either. So I carried her wriggling and squirming 12.5kg mass all the way to John Lewis because Sam needed to return something. After a brief moment of happiness playing with a toy Waitrose trolley, a face-plant meant screaming, fighting parents and a rapid return home.
Her mood declined at home until I put her in her cot at 3:30pm to sleep, chill out, whatever. I was past caring about the impact on bedtime. I went in to the garden and did some weeding and pruning to clear my head. We got H up after about an hour and her mood was lighter so we survived until bedtime. At which point we had beans on toast for dinner and I then spent the entire evening ironing and didn't even to get to watch all of my Musketeers episode beause we started it too late. I went to bed in a pretty grumpy mood.
The year before was full of similar stresses (just with a baby not a toddler) and neither of Sam's birthdays as a Dad have proved any better than mine. But it has taught me a really valuable lesson: Don't do anything special. Ever. Just go for normal and be happy if it goes okay. If you give off even the faintest hint of excitement, hope or change, your kid(s) will pick up on it and immediately invoke their "off day" behaviour. Easier to stick to the norm and just chuck a big bit of cake and a takeaway in there.
Because do you know what, 4 days out of 5 are awesome despite being just any old day. So on a day where I want to have a happy and relaxing time, normal might just be the best option!
Have any of you had similar birthday experiences? Or have you managed to get closer to the idyllic "instagram" birthday? Any tips for survival or success are always welcome!

Traffic Lawyer Bucks County
Most drivers can identify with the feelings of anxiety and dread most experience when they see flashing lights in their rearview mirror and hear the tell-tale police siren. Even when you know that you have done nothing wrong, there is a certain unmistakable sense of dread as the officer approaches your vehicle. Unfortunately, the law enforcement officer may interpret the events he or she witnessed differently than you. You may end up receiving a traffic citation or, in other circumstances such as a DUI, being arrested by the officer.
However, you do not have to face the officer or a judge on your own. Dedicated and aggressive representation can result in a reduction or dismissal of the charges or violation you face. A Young, Marr & Associates attorney can stand up for you and your rights.
Lawyers Handle Bucks County, Pennsylvania Traffic Tickets
When you receive a traffic ticket, you are actually receiving a citation. Citations for moving violations can include:
- Exceeding the maximum speed limit
- Reckless driving
- Improper or erratic lane changes
- Tailgating
- Running a red light
- Avoiding a traffic control device
The citation will contain a brief statement of the facts surrounding the incident, the law that was allegedly violated, and instructions for your future actions. While specific circumstance will vary and you should consult with an experienced attorney prior to taking action, must citations require some action within 10 days of its issuance. You may:
- Plead guilty and pay the fine
- Plead not guilty and request a hearing
If you fail to respond you may be subject to arrest or your driver's license may be suspended.
Bucks County DUIs
Being charged with a DUI can be particularly upsetting and anxiety-inducing due to the harsh penalties potentially including jail time and the suspension of your driver's license. While we cannot change the events that led up to your DUI charges, we can provide aggressive and strategic representation to protect your freedom and ability to drive.
In Pennsylvania a DUI can be charged if a chemical test reveals a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of .08% or above. However those with a high-BAC (between .10% and .159%) or highest-BAC (.16% or greater) are subject to more stringent penalties.
For example, a first-time DUI with A BAC of .09% would qualify as general impairment DUI which is the lowest level. As a first-time DUI a crime of this type represents the least harsh punishment possible for a DUI. You are likely to face an upgraded misdemeanor for a DUI of this type. The upgraded misdemeanor could carry penalties of a $300 fine, up to 6 months of probation, and alcohol treatment. In contrast a 1st offense with a BAC of .17% will lead to more stringent penalties because of the level of intoxication. In these circumstances the individual could face a license suspension for 1 year, up to 6 months in prison, a fine between $1,000 and $5,000 and alcohol treatment.
Put our Experience to work for you
If you have been charged with a traffic violation or a DUI, you need an aggressive attorney who understands the system. At Young, Marr & Associates we fight to protect your rights. To schedule your free initial consultation call us at (609) 755-3115 or contact us online.

Client was charged with three separate DUI cases calling for mandatory minimum imprisonment of 90 days on each case. Client was advised to seek immediate intensive alcohol counseling. Client was sentenced to 1 year of house arrest after serving 3 days in the county prison.

Acts 5:12-16 New Living Translation (NLT)
The Apostles Heal Many
12 The apostles were performing many miraculous signs and wonders among the people. And all the believers were meeting regularly at the Temple in the area known as Solomon's Colonnade. 13 But no one else dared to join them, even though all the people had high regard for them. 14 Yet more and more people believed and were brought to the Lord—crowds of both men and women. 15 As a result of the apostles' work, sick people were brought out into the streets on beds and mats so that Peter's shadow might fall across some of them as he went by. 16 Crowds came from the villages around Jerusalem, bringing their sick and those possessed by evil[a] spirits, and they were all healed.

friend Jim Silva over at Totally Screwed Software is no slouch. In the
few short years that he and the rest of the gang at TSS have been
making games, he's managed to turn out the gore-o-rific tribute to
River City Ransom that is Zombie Smashers X, the epic
party-based slaughter fest that is Blood Zero, and the guns-ablazin'
zombie holocaust that is Survival Crisis Z. Now,
though, it is time for us to get back to the basics, and look back
upon the game that first won Jim the acclaim of countless gaming
publications and homoerotic humor websites such as this one: the
original Zombie Smashers X.
The plot was simple enough: there are zombies (and others) that need
smashing, so get to it. And it was a good game. A great game, in fact.
The fans clambered for more; more zombies, more ninjas, more blood,
more everything! Well folks, I'm tickled pink to announce that your
prayers and bestial howls have been answered with the sequel to the
game that made you wax nostalgic even as you were decapitating the
undead. Presenting, Zombie Smashers X2.
Now I,
personally, didn't have a problem with the plot of the first ZSX being
summed up as simply "kill," but ZSX2 comes with a plot that unfolds as
you play; a grisly tale full of zombie raves, killer robots, magic,
and the internet. The principal players in this gory story are five,
distilled from the original ten from ZSX:
From the
left, Punker, Chelsea, Hiro, Rudy, and Maybey. As in the first ZSX,
each character starts with one of the many special abilities, such as
a punch combo and a neck-breaker, and the rest can be "learned" by
getting tattoos. However, unlike the first game, the skills have been
divided into seven different disciplines. The Crusher tree gives you
some interesting things to do with enemies that have been knocked
down; the Kung Fu tree gives you lightning-fast punches and aids your
blocking; but for my money, the one of the most useful moves you can
perform comes from the Assassin tree. Fans of the first ZSX will
recall the Heartbreaker, a delightful coup de grace in which you rip
out your opponent's heart and eat it. In that spirit, the highest
Assassin tier will bestow upon you a move called the Spine Removal:
A simple
spine removal is somewhat impressive. However, the Spine Removal move
not only kills your foe; it lets you keep his spine as a freakin'
weapon! And let me tell you, that column of vertebrates is one of the
deadliest melee weapons you can get your hands on. Just don't let one
fall into the hands of the enemy. A backbone bludgeoning is among the
quickest ways to wind up back in town with half your money gone.
discipline has three different levels. To obtain the highest level,
you'll need to undertake quests for different people, running the
gamut from fetching a loaf of bread to quelling a horde of angry
ninjas. Why, there's even a celebrity quest-giver in the game:
Ackbar, or rather Sea Captain Ackbar! After you bust the heads of some
local mummies, Ackbar gives you the greatest gift anyone can receive.
No, not the laughter of a child. Magic.
As you
bloody your fists and feet, a magic gauge will slowly charge, and when
it's full, you can input a few key combinations to unleash untold
carnage upon your foes. Ackbar gives you the ability to slow time, and
you'll gain other spells as you complete other quests. There's even a
spell that will let you magic up an uzi for yourself.
That's right; in addition to boxes, frying pans, pipes, and heads,
you'll find a number of guns in the game as well. Reloading is out of
the question, but fortunately, an empty gun is still handy for bashing
those enemies who didn't submit to a steady stream of bullets. You can
even bring the action back to town with you and start trouble there.
As you can see, Johnny Law is not about to sit tight and let you gun
down the part of the populace that isn't out for your blood. And boy,
those cops pack a wallop that rivals the damage from a pointblank
shotgun blast. Still, it's always fun to see how many you can pummel
before they bring your ass down.
in between killing and questing, there are a few mini games here and
there that you can try. The very first town has a basketball court
where you can challenge zombies and local folk to a game of Combat
like regular basketball, except that the ball is slightly larger and
fouls are encouraged. Also, there aren't any lucrative endorsement
deals if you're good at it, so that's a bummer.
Your journey isn't limited to dusty crypts and nameless towns. This
time around, you'll get to travel the world, traveling to such exotic
locales as France.
just as I imagined it, only with less accordion music. Then again, all
I have to go on are old Bugs Bunny cartoons. Anyway, if France isn't
your cup of tea, or fromage, you'll also be headed to other nifty
places, including beaches, fancy office buildings, and even the moon!
And also junkyards, crypts, and forests, but it's hard to get excited
about that when you get to go to the frigging moon.
Also new to the series are some ska, punk, and hardcore bands
providing the music by which zombies are smashed. Of course, some of
you may not view this soundtrack as an improvement. Well don't you worry; you can
create your own custom music playlist to properly set the mood.
Ah, now
I feel like killing something.
As you can see, ZSX2 has been crammed with new features without losing
any of the mindless fun of the original. Stay tuned for ZSX3, which
will feature time travel, dune buggies, jetpacks, dinosaurs, home
ownership, ballroom dancing, and even more ninjas. Or maybe just more
zombie smashing fun. Til then, here's a shot from a trip I took to the
