...brilliance of my fifth-grade mind.I like to think of myself as a cupcake connoisseur. Those childhood delicacies that perk you up with one look at their frosting mound and colorful details. I don’t remember the first time I ate a cupcake as a child (but I can remember how I always ate them—cake bottom first to save the three-inch frosting top for last).

...system increased by 56% and 58%, respectively, between 1996 and 2006. Last year, Health Minister Yoichi Masuzoe urged communities to help to ease the burden on their hospitals and called for an increase in the number of trained doctors, but his plan has been criticized for lacking specific measures. Child care circles, such as those developed by communities in the Kansai area, are examples of how mothers educate each other on what qualifies as a medical emergency for their children, and what doesn't - a system that could also work for the elderly...
