It's Friday's Fancies on Sunday! Check out the original post HERE.
It's supposedly spring, but here in DC it feels just like winter with no hope for a warm up this week. Desperate for a bit of spring, I was happy to put together this over-the-top spring-infused ensemble.

It's pretty insanely girlie, do you think it's doable or too much?

What's up Reddit, I'm Mitch Schwartz of the Kansas City Chiefs. Ask me anything about the NFL, my family, my favorite foods, my faith or whatever comes to mind! If you're interested, I recently wrote a book with my brother Geoff, called Eat My Schwartz, that covers all of the above - check it out: http://smarturl.it/azEMS.
My Proof: https://twitter.com/MitchSchwartz72/status/772507343590297600
Hey Mitchell I'm a mod over at /r/kansascitychiefs and we would love you to come over sometime so we could ask you questions as well.
As for my question, whose your favorite Olineman on the Chiefs? I'm betting it's Mitch Morse.
Thanks! You know, it's hard to pick one guy. It's a really good room of guys and we have a lot of fun together. Fish and I kind of have a different perspective on things as Tackles, so we have that bond together already. But across the board it's been a great time so far with all the guys, they really make each day fun.
I don't know a lot about football but I assume that, like every other sport, there's a certain amount of trash talk throughout the game. So my question to you is: What's the funniest thing you've ever heard said on the field?
There's not as much as you'd think, if there is it's usually guys with a past together, or just a singular individual that likes to talk a lot. My favorite in game moment was when a defensive player flopped to try to get a penalty called against us, and one of our linemen yelled "That would be a fine in the NBA!!!" That was right after the NBA started fining for flopping, I thought it was really funny.
Alright everyone, I've got to run, thanks so much for coming out and asking all these great questions! I had a great time and hopefully we can do it again!
Are you a big fan of Taco Tuesdays?
For a big guy that loves food I don't think I've ever actually been to a place on a Tuesday that had a "Taco Tuesday" going. The idea of low priced tacos sounds quite appealing though, I need to get on that.
What is your favorite city to visit on away games?
We don't really get a chance to visit the city when we travel. We get there, only have a few hours to lay down or visit with the people who traveled to see you, and then we have meetings at night. The next day we play and then hop right on a plane to leave for back home.
Is it difficult to keep your weight up? Do you lose weight or eat differently during the off season?
I've never had a problem keeping my weight up, I'm more naturally of a big guy so that part has never been a struggle. During the offseason, like right after the season, you kind of eat what you want. You finally don't have to focus on football and keeping yourself in perfect shape so you binge a little. Once you get back to working out and especially right before the season you're eating pretty clean.
The fans are happy to have you here. Best of luck in the coming season!
Thank you! Excited to be here.
Do you guys play in a fantasy league together? What's it like?
I don't play fantasy anymore, I used to growing up. I went like 13-1 and dominated the league and then lost in the first round of the playoffs. I got frustrated that it was a week-to-week and not cumulative so I never went back. Geoff has recently gotten into it though, he's had fun with it.
Are you a big fan of Spaceballs? Also, have you checked out any bbq in KC, and if so, what has been the best so far?
I am well acquainted with the "May the Schwartz be with you!" line but I never was the hugest fan of the movie growing up. I think I was too young to truly understand it and would enjoy it much more now.
I've checked out Jack Stack, I have all the others on my list. Seems like there are a lot to go to!
Don't you mean I'm the owner of a very popular dog "Cupcake" Mitch Schwartz, AMA?
Haha yes that is true! My little guy has almost 40,000 followers on Instagram. If you want to check him out he's @Cupcake.the.pom on there! He's the most famous of any of us.
Hi Mitch, I'm a Chiefs fan and am very glad to have you apart of the Kingdom. I expect so many great things from our OL this year.
My question is, what do you want to do after you retire? I follow your Twitter and can tell you are passionate about football and are extremely knowledgeable, especially regarding the OL. I think you could be either a great coach or network analyst one day.
Thank you! Yea the more I think about it the more I want to do something teaching the OL game to people. How I'm going to get that done, I'm not quite sure yet. But it is something I've considered and will look into once the time gets closer.
Worst thing about practice?
Believe it or not the worst thing is usually the warm up. You're typically sore and stiff, and getting loose is an annoying thing to do, especially in pads. It's also the anticipation of what's to come. Once practice starts and gets rolling it goes pretty quickly.
Are you excited about the upcoming NFL Season? Any particular games you are looking forward to?
I am excited! It sounds cliche but really all you do focus on is the next game. You get so ingrained into your weekly routine that there isn't much time to look ahead, you're just focused on the upcoming opponent.
As I understand it, signing with the Chiefs was partially due to a recommendation from your brother based on his time there. Was this the case and how has your time with the team matched up with his description?
Well it certainly played a part in it, knowing the good things he had to say about it. He had a really fun time here, loved the city and the team, so you can't get a much better recommendation than that. So far it's been exactly as expected and I'm really excited to get the season underway finally.
What do you think of the neurological injury statistics in football, and since athletic careers end with the retirement much younger than average- what are your plans for when your career ends?
I do think that post-career maladies, or things that could effect (hopefully that's the correct effect) your long term health are scary. Luckily I've been pretty healthy throughout my career. In terms of post-career, I think I still want to do something in the football world. I love the game and love teaching it to people, so maybe I'll find a way to teach it to as many people as possible. Especially since the OL position is kind of its own world of play.
What are your favorite KC hangouts or things to do in the city?
We haven't been to all the spots yet so just finding new places and exploring new areas is probably my favorite thing right now. The city is so big and has so much going on that it'll take a while to get to all the places we want to see.
Who is the funniest guy in the locker room?
That's a good one. I'd say the offensive line in general is just fun to be around because we're always joking, making fun of each other (and ourselves), and just constantly trying to keep it loose.
Damn. You shouldn't have started with the best one first!
That's what my brother recommended. I figured he would know best! Seems like the other ones are no slouch though, I'm sure I'll walk out of there pretty happy.
What is your favorite flavor of ice cream?
If it's exactly as I like it, probably pistachio. But there are so many variations of it that sometimes it can be meh, sometimes great. Coffee is also up there for me.
Hey man, thanks for doing this.
In the past few years there has been more discussion of compensating NCAA athletes, how do you feel about this?
You're welcome. I haven't looked too much into it but it sure seems like there is a lot of money being made off these kids and they don't get to see any of it. At the very least shouldn't a kid be able to make money off his likeness? If people want to pay him for an autograph or for his jersey, I'm not sure why that wouldn't be allowed. Another thing should be scholarship checks based on cost of living. The bay area, for instance, is much more expensive than say Oregon, where my brother went to school. So he had a lot more scholarship money after rent than I did, just because of the cost of living of the area.
I'm from a country where American Football is virtually non-existent. What other sports do you enjoy?
I grew up playing baseball, didn't play football until high school. I was a pitcher and played first base. Still like following the game and watching it.
Go bears! How do you think Cal will do this year?
Go bears! They looked good in the first game so I'm hopeful it'll be a good year. Typically that style of offense doesn't usually have a good defense, for whatever reason, so it's hard to be a consistent top tier team unless you get some studs on D.
Aside from money, what is the biggest factor for you in deciding what team to sign with in free agency? Is money everything? Is there such thing as a hometown discount?
Money is definitely up there, but hopefully you get to the point where money between 2 or more teams is similar and then you can move on to other options. Playing for a winning team, getting into the playoffs, and playing for a good organization are all on the list of things guys consider. Also to a lesser degree where you will be living and what the city is like.
I do think there is such a thing as a hometown discount, most guys don't want to move after they've been in the same place for 4+ years unless they've just had an awful experience. But in football it's usually taking a discount for an early contract and guaranteed money, because of the injury risk, as opposed to giving the team a discount.
Andy Reid is by far my favorite NFL coach of all time (eagles Fan), But what was your favorite Andy Reid moment? Like somthing funny that he said or something he told the team to motivate them mid game. When he hit the dab in the locker room after a big win last year has to be up there.
That was definitely funny to see from afar. I don't think there is one particular thing like that so far, but it's been great to be coached by him so far. He's both an amazing coach and motivator. He knows what will win, and how to get you in a position to do that and to get the most out of your ability.
Who is your favorite player in the NFL besides you?
Probably my brother haha. Too easy. I like watch Aaron Rodgers, especially since he's a former Cal guy. There are a lot of great linemen to watch too, this year it'll be fun to watch the guys I became great friends with in Cleveland playing from afar.
Do you still get nervous when you go out on the field for a play? I played a year of football, and decided to put football on permanent hiatus to pursue wrestling.
Oh yea no question. For me it's a fear of failure that drives me as a player to get better and perfect my craft. If I mess up and get beat I put the QB or RB at risk, and that's not a very comforting feeling. You have to manage the nerves so they don't overtake you and get you out of control, or out of what you want to do. But for me I try to use them to my advantage and stay on top of my game.
Hey Mitch! It's awesome having you in KC. Whose the biggest jokester on the team? From what us fans see it looks like an awesome environment being around the guys and everyone gets along great. Not sure if you watch baseball but if you do you'll get this when I ask if there is a "Salvador Perez" in the Chiefs locker room?
Thanks! Usually the specialists are the biggest jokesters because they have the most time to think things up and put them into action.
Is a hotdog a sandwich?
Yes! By definition it is. By feel it isn't. But technically, yes it is.
What's the most memorable game you have been a part of?
Gotta be the Thursday night game against Cincinnati, in Cincy, two years ago. We went in there and just had a great game, and by the end of the night most of the Cincy fans were gone and the Browns fans were chanting for Brian Hoyer. That win also got us to first place, first time in my career doing that. So that whole experience was awesome. Unfortunately we didn't end the season very well and they got us back in kind at our place, so it was a short-lived high.
What's your retirement plan?
Not totally sure yet. Thinking something in the football realm of things, would like to teach football and specifically OL play to a greater population of people if possible. Just need to figure out the best platform and how to get that done.
Do you actually have a strict (or in your case as an OL, heavy) diet, or do you just eat whatever you want (besides the obvious foods loaded with sugar) as long as you have a strict workout regime?
When you are ill and get medicine prescribed by physicians, do you have a list of substances to give to your physician to insure that your prescribed medicine doesn't violate the league's PED policy?
I don't have a strict diet, I've done different dieting things in the past and my body felt the same when I was or wasn't doing them, so I kind of just decided to do what I wanted. I definitely keep tabs on my weight, and weigh myself every morning, so I try to make good decisions with my food choices because I don't want my weight fluctuating much.
In terms of prescribed medicine, you're exactly right. I'm terrified of testing positive for something so I tend not to eat or try a lot of things because of it. Just doesn't seem worth it to get suspended if there's even a shred of doubt.
Hey Mitch, big Chiefs fan here. What is your favorite part about Kansas City so far?
The city? Just exploring and finding all the cool things to do. It's a huge city, very spread out, so there's a lot of real estate to cover and check out.
What do you think of Tamba Hali? Do love him?
Oh yea, he's awesome. I always respected his play from afar, and having to face him before I've watched a lot of film and knew how good of a player he was. But he's an even better person and a great influence on everyone.
Hey Mitch! First, your signing is my favorite off-season move in a long time for this amazing team that is the Chiefs. How do you feel moving into this O-line? RT was a big concern of ours last season and a lot of guys had to bounce around a lot. I feel with you on the right side we have a stable line for the first time in many years. How have you guys grown as a group this off-season/preseason and do you feel you have established an identity as a unit (eg. gritty/physical/grinders)? .... Also, congrats on the book!
Thank you! I think you have an idea of what you want to be as a unit, and your work your best to get there, but the identity develops as the season progresses. You figure out what you're best at and lean on that. Obviously you want it to be physical and tough and to be a great rushing offense, but you have to produce on the field.
There were rumors going around /r/KansasCityChiefs a while ago
Well we both think it would be a cool thing to play on the same team before we're done but that's out of our control. If it happens, great, if not I just hope he finds a good situation for him soon!
Thanks for answering my question and best of luck this season! We all at r/Kansascitychiefs will be rooting for you like wild fanatics as always!
You're welcome! Glad to be here (reddit and KC!)
What's your favorite pizza?
Also, who dat?
My favorite pizza is my homemade pizza. Make the dough from scratch and do it all myself. The recipe is in the book so you can make it too!
What was your experience with playing with Joe Thomas?
Great experience. He's the best Tackle (aka lineman) in football, and he makes it look so easy. But he's always working to improve himself, fix small things that maybe worked one week but he knows he needs to clean up to be successful the next week. He's also a great guy, fun to hang out and be around, and I really enjoyed playing with him, getting to learn from him, and having him around every day.
Why do you and your brother not want to play for the same team?
Can you convince him to play with you and bring him back to KC?
Who said we didn't want to play for the same team?
What are your all time PRs in the weightroom? I.e. bench, squat, deadlift and powerclean?
I don't remember exact numbers. I think in general (not you specifically) that there is a little too much emphasis on those max numbers, and sometimes form can be swept under the rug to lead to kids digging for the high number. This can lead to injury, if doing a heavy lift with incorrect form, or just inflated numbers. Never sacrifice lift for load!
I don't think terrified is the right word but they are an awesome defense and it's always a challenge going against them. They're a well rounded defense and can do just about anything.
Affect is the verb, effect is the noun. Just FYI.
Thanks. I always try to remember but for whatever reason it just doesn't seem to stick in my mind.

Another Life is the story of an astronaut investigating the origins of an alien artifact that mysteriously appears on Earth. If you find the premise interesting, I'm here to tell you that the show does everything it can to rob it of any potential.
The performances are particularly atrocious. I've never watched Battlestar Galactica, but I do know that Katee Sackoff has an enormous, devoted following. Unfortunately, she's terrible here and I can't seem to tell if it's the script's fault or hers. She tries her best to elevate the material, but she's wholly unsuccessful – feeling completely miscast and out of tune with the emotions necessary to bring this narrative to life.The rest of the cast? All cliché 20-somethings who definitely look like they have the required experience to save the world. It's just laughable.
You know what else is a flop? The CGI! It's shocking to me that Netflix would invest in a show and it would still come out looking so cheaply made. This is a very low-budget production, with the show resorting to repetitive space shots that look like they took all of ten minutes to render. As for the scenes set inside the ship, well let's just say the sets are atrociously realized and probably constructed in somebody's backyard.
A terrible pilot for an ill-advised show that seriously has no saving graces. Avoid this one!

If you're familiar with Lake Ohrid, one image probably comes to your mind: a tiny red-brick church overlooking the vast expanse of blue lake, faint mountains in the distance.
This church is Sveti Jovan, and it's probably the most famous image in all of Macedonia. As soon as you arrive, you'll want to photograph it from every angle.
Every evening, I made the 20-minute trek to Sveti Jovan from central Ohrid, crossing over docks on the way there and climbing hills through the town on the way back.
With a west-facing view over the lake, it's a wonderful place to watch the sunset.
Still, Sveti Jovan is just one tiny corner of the Ohrid region, and you could stay here for weeks just photographing the beauty around this part of Macedonia.
My plan had been to spend my two weeks in Eastern Europe traveling incognito — no comps, no special treatment, no fielding endless questions about how I make money. I would be just another anonymous backpacker for the first time in years.
That plan was foiled a few hours into the trip when I walked into my Ohrid dorm and saw a girl sprawled out on one of the beds.
"I know you!" she exclaimed. "You were shipwrecked."
That girl was Gloria, a native Californian who has spent the past few years jaunting around the world at an impressive rate, from Nepal to Ukraine. She turned out to be a very cool girl — not least because she used my posts to plan her time in Southeast Asia!
Our hostel owner suggested we see more of the region and take the boat trip to Sveti Naum the next day. Perfect.
The boat trip to Sveti Naum is one of the most popular activities in Ohrid. Sveti Naum is a monastery further down the lake, a stone's throw from the Albanian border.
(And yes, that's Sveti Jovan once more on the far left, growing smaller as we sailed down the coastline.)
After a 90-minute journey past hidden beaches, campgrounds, and the president's summer residence, we arrived at Sveti Naum. Our unlikely welcome brigade: several peacocks!
As I had learned a few months ago in Emilia-Romagna, peacocks make noises like strangled cats. You don't want to make them angry. But are they ever beautiful…
Sveti Naum was much smaller than I expected it to be and very similar in style to Sveti Jovan — but the inside of the monastery was stupefying.
Incredible, isn't it? I've never seen a church like this.
Not an inch is uncovered with frescos.
Better in black and white, or in color? I like them both.
Sveti Naum is next to one of the nicer beaches on Lake Ohrid, and people were camped out for the day with chairs, coolers and boom boxes. Groups of teenagers held court alongside families with small children.
Just off the beach is a verdant lagoon illuminated by thousands of shades of green.
One of the stranger yet sweeter encounters we had was by the dock. Gloria and I came across a group of local guys with a watermelon. Without speaking a word of the other's language, one of them promptly sliced us some watermelon with what looked like a pirate's cutlass. Or maybe a machete. I kept waiting for the inevitable scream and blood splatter.
Like all the produce I sampled in Macedonia, this watermelon was fresh and delicious. Our slices were enormous, and it took the two of us a good 20 minutes to finish them off!
Soon, it was time to get back on the boat and head back to Ohrid. Sveti Naum rose up in the distance one last time as we sailed away.
It was a perfect sunny day in Macedonia's summertime paradise. While the Balkans are certainly not lacking when it comes to natural beauty, Ohrid is one of the most surprisingly beautiful regions I've visited in the Balkans so far.
Essential Info: The round-trip boat ride to Sveti Naum costs €5 or 300 Macedonian dinars ($7) each way. The boat trip takes about 90 minutes each way. It sets sail from Ohrid's dock each morning at 10:00 AM and departs Sveti Naum at 3:00 PM.
Two boat companies do this trip: they are parked on either side of the dock and have the same exact route, pricing, and schedule. I chose the boat that had couch-style seating rather than chairs, and they also had mattresses on deck for stretching out in the sun.
There's also a bus that travels from Ohrid to Sveti Naum, taking two hours each way for about a third of the price. Personally, I thought the boat trip, though pricier, was an exceedingly pleasant way to travel between the two towns.
I used World Nomads travel insurance during this trip and I always recommend getting it before you travel, no matter where you go.

Why do people plant marram grass on sand dunes?
Marram is a tough perennial grass that is often planted in shifting sand dunes to help stabilize them. Between the edge of the water and the beginning of the dunes, dry sand is constantly shifting and floating. One of the few plants that can take root in this windy environment is marram grass. It spreads its tuberous roots just under the surface of the sand, and forms an underground web that helps hold the sand in place. This allows the soil to stabilize and the dune to grow higher.

I was poking about onboard Andrea Lynn one night after a heavy rain as I sometimes do, looking for leaks. Sure enough I found several, mostly in the back of the boat. Water was dripping on the cushions from the corner of the cabin. I looked around and eventually traced it to the bottom of the portlights. Water was coming in between the portlight and the plywood of the cabin side.
These pages illustrate the subsequent repair and replacement of the portlights. First I discuss the problem that precipitated all this. Then I talk about how I selected the new portlights. Next I go over the repairs to the cabin side. Finally I wrap up with the actual portlight installation. The whole project took from October 2006 to January 2007.
The first thing is I unscrew and carefully pry out the portlight. It is glued in with aging 4200 or 5200 so it isn't really that difficult to remove.
I poke around the edges and find that the wood is soft below the bottom of the portlight. I grabbed a chunk in my hand and pulled it out. Oh boy do I have a problem.
I had been thinking for a while about getting some sort of bronze portlights. I think they'd be really cool for this boat. This little repair quickly morphed into a project to replace the portlights.
First I had to decide on which brand to get. I looked at some boats in the marina. This Seaward Fox has some nice portlights. I don't know the brand but I think they are Atkin Hoyle.
Pictured above is the bronze portlight of a Flicka 20. This is sort of what I am looking for.
Here's a portlight on a Victoria 14.
I did a lot of searching online. I looked at all the brands I could find advertised in various boating magazines. My requirements evolved somewhat as I searched and pondered. Over a two month period I realized that ...
I found what I was looking for at Spartan Marine. They have a good reputation with the cruising crowd and have been around for a long time. I selected their P610 and P560.
I used the dimensions in the catalog and the dimensions of the existing Beckson portlights and drew this diagram on the computer to see how the new portlights would fit in the openings and what cuts I would have to make. The existing Beckson 5x12 is in black and the new Spartan Marine P560/P610 is in red.
Here is some of the wood trim that the portlight would have to sit next to.
I then called these folks up and placed the order.

As far as Gang Starr affiliates go, Hannibal Stax (aka H. Stax) is a rapper that has complemented DJ Premier's gully New York soundscapes rather than stood out on them. Vocally along the lines of NYGz, H. Stax brings Marco Polo in to provide the boom bap sound that he so often prefers to rhyme over. Despite spitting one of the best verses on Gang Starr's "Same Team, No Games", H. Stax hasn't really been given his shine, yet Big Shug has had numerous albums released.
To be fair, as poor as Big Shug is, H. Stax isn't the most lyrical emcee himself and it could be argued he is the carbon copy of numerous New York rappers from the 90s. "Seize The Day" has been offered as free streams online, and it is easy to see why. Marco Polo provides some decent, yet unsurprising production throughout that just doesn't match up to his "Newport Authority" material; let alone the "Port Authority" series. "Righteous Kill" and "Keep Grindin'" stand out amongst the mediocrity purely because H. Stax actually crafts songs with a theme.
OK, the themes may be as generic as hip hop gets, hustling and threatening wack emcees aren't going to win any accolades, but "Seize The Day" isn't about art. Just as Marco enjoys working with grimey rappers such as Ruste Juxx and Torae, H. Stax raps about the streets and the stress that money brings with it. There is an abundance of money-talk in fact, surprising considering this is as underground as it gets in terms of the audience they are aiming at.
Ultimately, H. Stax has a smooth voice that definitely works well with Marco Polo's style, but without the passion of Torae or the tongue-in-cheek humour that Ruste Juxx brings, he just isn't interesting enough to hold down fifteen tracks. The best cuts are the energetic sounds of "Warriors Drum", the Primo-like "46 Bars of Death" and the dope "Righteous Kill". Without an excellent beat behind him though, the majority of "Seize the Day" is average, generic East Coast hip hop that will only find favour with few.

Dress rehearsal for the Gondoliers by Witham Operatic Society.
IT IS almost 100 years to the day since D'Oyly Carte first produced one of Gilbert and Sullivan's most sparkling and popular operas. Witham Operatic Society have chosen The Gondoliers as its Autumn show and it is being performed at the Public Hall all this week.
Tony Court's bass was a strong feature and Doug Coleman and Steve Draper made up the quartet of gondoliers. The young ladies of Venice are in love with the two leading men. The leaders of the chorus, Alison Brewer, Helen Collins and Pam Reid were well contrasted.
Brian Brown, the musical director, has gathered together an excellent orchestra. They were often taken along at a lively pace and never overwhelmed the performers on stage. His variations of pace in the different numbers kept an excellent balance throughout.
Simon Mitchell and Howard Brooks play Marco and Guiseppi. They are well contrasted in their characterisation and in their tones of voice. In the second act, in particular they introduce some interesting business that is always looked for by the audience. Alison Brand plays Gianetta and Kathryn Adkins, Tessa. They too are well contrasted, developing very different characters.
In Act two they are at their best with Kathryn Adkins' pleasing voice blending well in the quartets and quintets. Helen Jones is a fine Casilda and with Stuart Adkins as Luiz change the pace of the show with a delightful performance of one of Sullivan's loveliest tunes, There was a time. It was a pity that their parts are so brief.
Nicholas Clough was an excellent, pompous, very finely dressed Grand Inquisitor who made the most of his part. Geoff Coverdale had the humorous part of the unscrupulous, poverty stricken, Duke of Plaza - Toro. Pat Briggs as his Duchess was every inch the Gilbertian lady who has her husband well under control.
Produced by Patricia Pullen the story works out well for the characters on stage and they end with an apt quotation for the feelings of the audience - " on the whole, delighted"

In Colorado, should a medical malpractice case be filed against the doctor, the nurse, or the hospital?
Answered by: Anthony ViorstThe Viorst Law Offices, P.C. Phone: 303-759-3808
Under the doctrine of vicarious liability, an employer is held responsible for the negligent acts of its employees that are committed while acting within the course and scope of employment. Thus, in most states in this country, hospitals are held responsible for the negligent acts or omissions of the doctors employed at those hospitals. However, the state of Colorado does not follow that general rule. Therefore, in Colorado, when a doctor commits medical malpractice, through a negligent act or omission that causes harm to a patient, the only way to obtain compensation for that misconduct is to sue the doctor personally.
A doctor can be held responsible for any injury negligently caused during surgery, or during post-surgical care. Similarly, any injury resulting from the ingestion of prescription medication, if caused by medical negligence of a doctor, could be grounds for a lawsuit. However, a patient should be mindful that, as a general rule, Colorado doctors will fight malpractice cases all the way to trial, rather than settle them. Doctors in Colorado are reluctant to settle, for many reasons, including the following: (1) Colorado juries tend to favor doctors over patients; (2) any settlement will likely raise a doctor's malpractice-insurance rates; (3) when a doctor settles a case, he/she must report the settlement to the Colorado Medical Board, which can take action against that doctor's medical license; and (4) every doctor who settles a case must post that settlement information on a public website.
Although Colorado hospitals generally cannot be held responsible for the negligence of doctors, hospitals can be held liable for the negligent acts or omissions of the nurses they employ. Thus, it is never necessary for an injured patient to sue the individual nurses who acted negligently, because he or she can sue the hospital. Although nurse negligence can occur in an infinite number of ways, common claims against nurses include the following: If a nurse fails to put up the guard rails, and a patient falls out of bed and suffers injury, the hospital is liable for the nurse's negligence. Similarly, if a nurse administers the wrong medication, or the wrong dosage, and the patient is injured, the hospital is liable. Or, if a patient's vital signs indicate that the patient is in distress, but the nurse fails to timely notify a doctor, and the patient dies or suffers serious injury, the hospital is liable.
Even in those states that don't hold hospitals liable for doctor malpractice, a hospital can still be held responsible, in some situations, for the negligence of a doctor. Most commonly, a hospital can be held directly liable for negligently granting a doctor the privilege to perform the procedure in which the patient was injured. If the negligent doctor clearly lacked the training and experience to perform the procedure in question, or else had a record of disciplinary or patient complaints showing that he was clearly not competent to perform that procedure, then the hospital itself acted negligently in granting that doctor the privilege of performing that procedure at its facility. And, if privileges had not been granted to the negligent doctor, then the patient would not have been injured. Under such circumstances, the hospital can be held directly liable for the patient's injuries.
It is not always clear whether the patient should sue the doctor, the hospital, or both. It is always best to discuss this matter with an attorney before moving forward.
The answer is intended to be for informational purposes only. It should not be relied on as legal advice, nor construed as a form of attorney-client relationship.

In late September 2017, the National Indian Gaming Commission (NIGC) announced a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM). The proposed NPRM to part 547 technical standards amends the Class II technical standards to remove the sunset date for the operation of certain Class II gaming systems and permits the continued operation of "grandfathered gaming systems" with added safeguards to ensure the security of the systems and protection of the public and the gaming operation.
The highlights of the proposed rule include:
- Removal of the November 10, 2008, sunset for systems manufactured before November 10, 2008, that have not already been made fully compliant with part 547;
- Requires Tribes to conduct an annual review of 2008 systems to determine whether such systems may be approved pursuant to the standards for newer systems; and
- Requires all system modifications be submitted to a testing laboratory for testing to the standards for newer systems and that Tribal Gaming Regulatory Authorities may approve modifications that either advance or maintain system compliance.
The proposed rule ensures the integrity and security of Class II gaming through minimum technical standards for Class II gaming systems and equipment.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — For the first time in the city's history, a local museum will showcase an exhibit exploring national, regional and local LGBT history. The exhibit, "LGBTQ Perspectives on Equality," opens on July 25 and runs through January at the Levine Museum of the New South and is a collaboration with several organizations and initiatives.
"We get to work in a way that we're known for — collaboration," Kate Baillon, Levine vice president of exhibits, explains. "We get to work with a lot of members in the community to pull together this story and look at it through different lenses."
The exhibit, comprised of four smaller exhibits, tackles national LGBT history in the "Out of the Shadows: Gay America from Kinsey to Stonewall" exhibit. Regionally, an exhibit on southern activist Pauli Murray will explore her work as a civil rights lawyer, poet, author and first African-American female Episcopal priest. An artistic exhibit, "Minding the Ts and Qs: Gender Identity," will allow visitors to explore gender and themselves.
But, it's the fourth exhibit that might hold the most meaning for local LGBT community members. "Publicly Identified: Coming Out Activist in the Queen City" will be the first local history timeline and exhibit to ever explore the accomplishments and history of Charlotte's local LGBT community.
The local exhibit is the first byproduct of work done for nearly two years by University of North Carolina-Charlotte staffer Joshua Burford. He and others at the university library's Special Collections have been collecting items for the new Charlotte LGBTQ Community Archive — items they have used to compile the timeline and present it in exhibit form for the next six months.
Burford says the timelines shows a side of Charlotte few have ever seen.
"It's a full spectrum community, not a tiny place struggling to make it," Burford says. "It's a place that has been public and visible for a really long time and now people will get to see what it looks like."
The timeline begins in the 1940s and carries through more than a half century of history. But, it's all just a fraction of the enormous material Burford says has already been collected for the new community archive. Local community members have been quick to help preserve their history.
Burford — who moved to Charlotte in 2012 — is a newcomer to the city. He says he takes his role as community archivist seriously. It's scary and humbling he says, and he's been amazed at the amount of material the archive has already collected.
"There's so much," he says. "I expected to get a large amount of material. What I didn't expect was the complexity. Charlotte hasn't lagged behind the nation. In fact it has been leading the South. The amount of history has been overwhelming."
The timeline does have some holes, though. Burford was "determined," he says, to ensure the timeline exhibit included all portions of the LGBT community. He found mentions of bisexual history and transgender history, though he wishes more could have been included. He hopes the exhibit will inspire others to step forward with materials for the archive.
It's Burford's hope that the exhibit will not only educate, but empower. Charlotte has had many big victories in its LGBT history and he sees more on the horizon. As visitors leave the exhibit, Burford wants them to yearn for more.
Levine staffers, too, want to inspire action, education and conversation.
"I'm most excited about the opportunity to open up dialogue," says Janeen Bryant, the Levine Museum's vice president of education.
And, over the next six months, Burford says the exhibit will prove all the naysayers wrong.
"Charlotte was overlooked because people didn't imagine we could do this sort of work in the Carolinas," he says. "'They'll do something, but it won't be much,' was the expectation. But, we did a lot of other stuff just because we could. We're constantly defying expectations."

Tangier Moroccan Cuisine
by Jessica on May 1, 2012
3070 28th St./Menu
I once heard that there are three fine cuisines of the world: French, Chinese and Moroccan. When my foodie family and I ventured to Morocco a few months ago, we put this theory to the test by enjoying as much traditional cuisine as humanly possible, to the point that pizza was such a treat upon our arrival in the US. Yet four months later, my Moroccan overload had subsided, and I was craving some good couscous and tagine.
Tangier's location makes it easily overlooked by the typical Boulder population. Not on Pearl St. or 28th St. Mall? Does it really exist?! But the restaurant's unassuming location in a small shopping center easily holds it own, maintaining a true Moroccan feel while perhaps sacrificing popularity.
One of my favorite things to do while trying a new ethnic restaurant is sampling a beer from that country. Though I had tried Casablanca beer before, it was just as exciting to enjoy it again.
Although my usual dinner crew has learned to be adventurous after a year of eating with me, for most of them, it was their first time trying Moroccan food. I must admit, I kind of felt like a rockstar that I knew what most of the menu meant. So they turned to me, and our gracious waiter from Casablanca, to lead them on their first Moroccan journey. So first up: eggplant salad (by no means a bowl of leafy greens, as my friends expected). Tangier made their spin on the Moroccan specialty with pureed eggplant, garlic, peppers, and plenty of spices. Its contrast from the rest of the food made it the perfect way to begin a feast.
I managed to convince my crew to share a variety of dishes, including a chicken and vegetable couscous, a chicken tajine with lemon and olives, and a vegetarian couscous tafaya with chickpeas, raisins and caramelized onions.
For the picky eater, the couscous with chicken and vegetables might be the way to go. Or even for the adventurous, I'd order this again any day. The dish was rich in flavor, combining spices like cumin, curry and turmeric, and a satisfying balance of carbs, meat and veggies. The spices are what truly make Moroccan food unique and different from any other ethnic cuisine or homemade mixed vegetable medley. Tangier hits the nail on the head and impressively balances the right spices for a wonderful dish.
No trip to a Moroccan restaurant is complete without sampling a tajine, a meat and vegetable dish slow cooked in a covered clay pot. Tonight, I stuck to a Moroccan classic: chicken tajine with olives and preserved lemon, served with peas and potatoes. While in Morocco, we constantly encountered disappointingly dry chicken. I am delighted to report that Tangier's was far from dry, in fact it was extremely juicy and full of flavor. But beware: the tajine was served PIPING hot!
Finally, we also sampled a vegetarian couscous with chickpeas, raisins and caramelized onions. This dish was really different than anything else we ordered, and probably anything else on the menu, because of the different spices incorporated in the veggies. Instead of the standard cumin, curry and turmeric, this couscous was nutty and sweet. Perhaps it is an acquired taste, but I found it to be delicious and worth a try purely for its uniqueness.
As our upbeat waiter brought us boxes for our heaping leftover food and cleared our plates, he asked my group if any of us wanted some traditional Moroccan tea. Stuffed to the brim and eager to move on with our Friday night, each of my friends immediately replied "no" in unison. I probably would have, too, if I didn't know how delicious and amusing Moroccan tea can be. With some minor persuasion, they gave in (they are used to my persistent, FOMO restaurant habits by now!). Delicious because of the robust yet sweet mint flavors, and amusing to watch the tea waterfall into our cups (whether on the table or on our heads) from a teapot held far above our heads. When offered tea, say yes!
Although the thought of Moroccan food may seem a little intimidating to the picky eater, Tangier's diverse menu, wonderful staff and different yet cozy atmosphere makes it a great place to begin. Come very hungry, and leave very happy, with leftovers.
I can't believe I'm the first psroen to comment on this. My husband and I tried this recipe over the weekend and while 1 or 2 of the ingredients weren't available at our local supermarket it turned out to be delicious. I don't know much about Morocco and their food, but this is definitely what I imagined their food taste like

A Korean EXO-L Reminds Fans That EXO Members Are In It Together For Life, Including Chen
While the topic of Chen's status in EXO has been a divisive issue between people, sparking huge protests even at the height of the drama, one fan took it upon herself to remind fans that EXO seems to have already made up their mind to keep Chen with them as they move forward.
On Korean online community, theqoo, the fan brings up definite evidence that the team is sticking together, no man left behind, no matter what the public says. In May 2020, on an official platform for the group, the team released a group photograph that touched many fans. The active members had sent leader Suho off to the army. While the photo ended up sparking controversy due to Chen's presence, this fan pointed out that the fact that they had uploaded this on the official account, means that they have no plans of excluding the young father.
During Baekhyun's promotions for "Candy" this early summer, Chen was also seen visiting the music station to show support for the petite vocalist. He was even present on stage during the encore for the win! As it is a public broadcast, Chen's presence there speaks volumes about how the members feel about him.
In an interview, Baekhyun had also once shared the touching story behind the teamwork and friendship of the team. Back before debut, he was one of the weaker dancers along with Chen, although they made up for it with their amazing voices. Baekhyun shared that the other members helped Chen and himself, with Kai teaching Chen and Sehun teaching Baekhyun. Due to their long time practicing together, EXO's friendship is one of the strongest in the industry.
In more recent news, as Chen's OST for drama Do You Like Brahms? was released recently, both Chanyeol and Sehun showed their support on their Instagram stories with a screenshot of them streaming the song.
Lastly, the fan shared that previously, SM Entertainment had already released a kind, but firm statement that the group plans on moving forward together, as a team.
As the management agency for EXO, we have put the members' opinions first on important issues as well as the direction of the team and the members' activities.
Before officially announcing Chen's marriage news, we took the time to discuss with the EXO members, and they have all suffered from the loss of members in the past. The opinion was shared from the members that they want to be together in the future without any changes. We respect the EXO members' opinions and would like to inform you that there will be no change in EXO members.
This EXO-L pointed out that members themselves gave opinions that they wanted Chen to stay in the team, once and for all, hence fans should respect this as well. It seems as if many comments also agree with the rationality and level-headedness of the post.
While fans may have their own opinions, it seems as if the members have already decided amongst themselves on what they want, leaving only one thing left – for fans to respect their decisions.

Life insurance comes in many varied forms. The basic purpose of life insurance is to provide benefits for the policy holder's survivors once the policy holder dies. One of the common types of life insurance is known as universal life insurance. Universal life is a form of life insurance where the policy holder pays for the entire cost of the insurance up front. In turn, the policy holder's designated beneficiaries are guaranteed a certain specific sum of money once the policy holder dies.
Some people are offered this type of insurance as part of their workplace benefits. Typically, the worker's survivors are offered insurance in the amount of a year's salary. In other instances, people choose to purchase this type of insurance independently on their own from an insurance company. Many people choose to buy this type of insurance as a form of investment. The policy, if paid up, can be borrowed against before the person dies. This allows the person to have a fully paid up cash investment that can be tapped into as necessary.
In this way, the policy can serve as a form of investment. The policy holder will earn interest on his investment. This interest may be paid multiple times per year or on a yearly basis. The money the policy holder has invested in this type of insurance is usually invested in safe, low risk investments such as bonds and blue chip stocks.
This type of insurance can be collected once the person dies. The policy holder's beneficiaries submit the necessary documentation to the insurance company. Once evidence of the policy holder's death has been ascertained, the insurance company will pay out the money from the policy.
Universal life insurance allows the policy holder to have both insurance and an investment as the same time. The policy holder pays the premiums necessary. In turn, the policy that he owns will build up cash value as long as the premiums are paid. The policy holder can thus go through life knowing that his nearest and dearest survivors are guaranteed a tax free benefit once he or she dies.

The people of Alkena in the Lower Kaugel area of Tambul/Nebilyer District in Western Highlands now have access to clean fresh water for cooking and drinking.
The water supply project which cost more than K60,000 to set up was officially opened on Sunday, 1st March 2015.
It was jointly funded by the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade and the PNG Government through a loan arrangement with the Asian Development Bank under its Rural Primary Health Services Delivery Program.
The opening of the water supply coincided with a ground breaking ceremony for a new Community Health Post to be built at Akena where more than 10,000 people would benefit from both services.
The Australian Minister and Counsellor for Development Cooperation at the Australian High Commission in Port Moresby, Mr. James Hall turned on the tap, signaling the official opening of the water supply for the people to use.
Mr. Bruce Davies, Asian Development Bank's Vice President Administration and Corporate Management Operations said donor partners were investing a lot of money in such projects to improve the living standards of people in the province.
"We have built this water project to help improve your health because your lives are important. If you look after what is given, then you can expect more to come", he said.
A spokesman for the people and community leader, Philip Talpa thanked the donors for funding the project.
He said people had to walk long distances to access good fresh water for drinking and cooking and they were happy that this will now be a thing of the past.
Mr. Talpa said his people had also been affected by water borne diseases such as typhoid and with the new water supply, he expected such cases to be reduced.

Elections Canada estimates 3.6 million people voted during advance polls, up 71 per cent from advance polls in 2011.
"This is in a way potentially a good problem to have, at least if you take the classic argument that the system works better if more people are weighing in," said Dr. Jamie Lawson, associate professor in political science at the University of Victoria.
However, "the question could be raised: Are those people who are going to vote anyway and chose to do it on Thanksgiving weekend rather than on the 19th?"
In Oak Bay, lineups at the Glenlyon Norfolk School polling station prompted calls and letters to the Oak Bay News.
Elections Canada did not return calls by deadline but responded to frustrated voters on social media that polling stations were selected and controlled by returning officers.
The high numbers, however frustrating for some voters, could be a result of many things, Lawson says.
"One thing that could mean a higher turnout for both the advance polls and the regular one on the 19th is just how tight this race is and how volatile it's been. … It's been difficult to figure out people's overarching pattern," Lawson said.
"It's rare for three parties to be tied for so long in our country. It's also the case that, because we've had a single government in power for 10 years now, people who disagree with the governing Conservatives are growing in their sense of frustration."
Modern technology could be another reason for the uptick, as social media feeds on Thanksgiving weekend filled with voting "selfies" and updates.
"There have been a number of different strategies to raise the total vote and getting people to think about voting in a co-ordinated fashion," Lawson said. "People have been going to the advance polls voting and then saying to their social network, 'Hey guys, I voted, you should go vote too.'"
Convenience and the lengthy campaign period could also play a role.
"We've seen over the past few years concern both within Elections Canada and beyond about declining voter participation and that's part of the reason we've seen a turn to advance polling as more than just the right to vote if you have an unavoidable obligation. It's new to think about advance polls as just another way to vote without having to have an excuse offered," he said.
"I think for people who have a choice in the matter (of when they vote) it may be a way of saying, 'I've made my decision. I'm done here and no one's going to persuade me of anything different in the next six days.'"
The numbers leave more questions than answers about what voting day will look like Oct. 19.
"There have been times when turnout election day was incompatible with the trend at the advanced polls and disappointed people. … We'll just have to see," he said.
"Tightness of the race is maybe an even better predictor of whether we'll have a heavy turnout. Historically it's often been the case that a tight race draws people out."

A new report about the ongoing delays in construction of the Homeland Security Department's new headquarters has prompted one lawmaker to question whether it still makes sense to build the facility at the St. Elizabeths campus in Southwest D.C.
Rep. Jeff Duncan (R-S.C.), the chairman of the Homeland Security Committee's Subcommittee on Oversight and Management Efficiency, last week released a majority staff report with the title "Reality Check Needed: Rising Costs and Delays in Construction of New DHS Headquarters at St. Elizabeths."
"With our nation $17 trillion in debt, we cannot afford waste and frivolous spending," Duncan said, in a statement. "The [Committee on Homeland Security] Oversight and Management Efficiency Subcommittee that I chair is responsible for overseeing DHS to help ensure efficient and effective operations. While touring the St. Elizabeths site in March 2013, I was struck by how taxpayer dollars had been spent thus far. Most Americans would be surprised to see the dilapidated historic buildings that are now undergoing extensive renovation for DHS's headquarters."
The report calls into question the planning process that went into choosing St. Elizabeths and whether economic conditions have changed so much since the project began that St. Elizabeths is no long the best option for DHS.
Join us for a panel discussion on Oct. 10 with Tom Temin, agency leaders and Illumio's Gary Barlet who will discuss the latest thinking in achieving mission assurance and data protection using zero trust, segmentation and monitoring strategies. Register today!
The DHS National Capital Region Housing Master Plan in October 2006 changed the Coast Guard headquarters project into a consolidated headquarters project for DHS. The General Services Administration scheduled construction to begin in fiscal year 2007. The Coast Guard was expected to move into its new headquarters at the end of FY 2010 through the start of FY 2011. The construction of DHS' consolidated headquarters would be finished at the end of FY 2014, with final occupancy wrapped up by FY 2015.
The economic downturn that began in 2007 had a negative fiscal impact on funding for St. Elizabeths construction. According to the report, both GSA and DHS received less than their original appropriations requests. This forced the agencies to adjust the project costs and completion dates.
"When it was originally proposed and approved, the St. Elizabeths project had a price tag of $3.45 billion; however, in the Department's most recent update on the project, DHS and GSA submitted cost projections of $4.5 billion with a completion date of 2026," the report says. "DHS contends that cost savings could have been maximized by using the original approach of coordinating construction efforts across the St. Elizabeths campus, but the current fiscal environment has not allowed for this. In 2012, Obama Administration officials indicated that the coordinated construction plan was no longer feasible, and chose to implement a segmented construction plan."
Most of the project funding to date came in FY 2009 with supplemental funds from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. This funding combined with DHS and GSA's regular appropriated funding provided $1.1 billion, which was applied to phase one of the project — construction on Coast Guard headquarters. Since FY 2009, though, appropriations for the two agencies has been less than the administration's request for the St. Elizabeth project.
"Knowing that the fiscal climate is substantially different now than it was at the project's beginning in 2006, it is worth questioning whether the consolidation project should continue at its current pace or be restructured," the staff report says. "In September 2013, the Government Accountability Office (GAO) reported that DHS did not have a process to systematically prioritize its major investments to ensure that the Department's acquisition portfolio was consistent with anticipated resource constraints. The GAO added that this approach hinders efforts to achieve a balanced mix of programs that are affordable and feasible and that provide the greatest return on investment."
DHS' current headquarters occupies 7 million square feet of office space spread out over 53 locations within the National Capital area. Most of the department's leases are due to run out in 2016, 10 years short of St. Elizabeths' new completion date.
"Currently, DHS is signing short term leases on its office spaces throughout the National Capital Region," the staff report says, referencing a Congressional Research Service study. "As DHS's leases have matured, the Department added short term extensions into the leases so that they can move to new facilities like St. Elizabeths or to a different consolidated leased office space. However, short term leases are much more expensive than longer term leases."
The Coast Guard finished moving into its new facility at St. Elizabeths in November 2013.

DHS considered many factors when deciding where its new headquarters would be located, including whether there was sufficient available space for offices and parking, proximity to the White House and Congress, accessibility to public transportation and major roadways and amenities nearby for personnel to walk to.
In 2006, DHS determined that it would need a minimum of 4.5 million gross square feet to house its new, secured campus headquarters.
"It remains unclear what metrics DHS used to determine what critical functions needed to be collocated on a secured campus and how this determined the 4.5 million gross square feet number in 2006," the report says. "Whether DHS still requires a minimum of 4.5 million gross square feet of secure space in the National Capital Region seven years after the October 2006 Housing Master Plan remains an unknown."
The report pointed to improvements in telecommunications and the successful implementation of telework at other agencies as new factors to be considered in determining whether DHS still needed the space it thought it did in 2006 for its headquarters.
In a March 20, 2013, the subcommittee sent a letter to Comptroller General of the United States Gene Dodaro requesting that GAO look into the current cost and schedule estimates from DHS compared to cost estimating best practices.
The letter also asked GAO, among other things, to examine to what extent DHS' decisions in the headquarters project were based on cost effectiveness and whether the department's analysis of consolidating its headquarters at St. Elizabeth was sound.

Persistence In Mourning - "Confessions Of An American Cult" (2011) [Land Of Decay]
With each new release, Persistence in Mourning moves further away from the "funeral doom metal," or even "metal," classification, and Confessions of an American Cult is a testament to the project's evolution into something unique. Where there once were heavy riffs and deep, gurgling vocals are now harsh drones and distorted, maniacal, tortured howls. The once pounding drum machine is all but non-existent, aside from brief stints in "Doomsday from the Pulpit" and "Defector Part I (Outside Looking In)." To classify this terrifying, screeching, near early industrial album as metal would be arbitrary. In fact, there's only one track on Confessions that could even be considered metal, being the industrial sludge mayhem of the aforementioned "Doomsday from the Pulpit"; the rest of the album consists of the swirling madness that surrounds modern cults.
Lippoldt's fusion of the funeral doom aesthetic with drone and early industrial has hit its current peak with Persistence in Mourning's Confessions of an American Cult. This strange, unsettling music experiment is definitely new to my ears and will accompany many late night horror novel binges. Music for serial killing sprees.

7 Things to Love About Japan
A first-timer to Japan, I visited this country with very little expectations and prior knowledge about what I'd discover. My first impressions of Japan led me to find some things to love about Japan and things that made me go, "hmm… dislike." But Japan is one of those places that you NEED to experience for yourself. And in the end, you'll probably love it. I strange love, but love nonetheless.
Here's what I loved about traveling to Japan.
1: The safety.
Compared to other industrialized countries, crime in Japan is relatively low. When looking at the U.S. State Department's travel warnings about Japan, much of the warning stem around entertainment and nightlife. There are cautions to theft, fraud, and drink spiking, but being an alert traveler is the best deterrence to victimhood. I felt so safe in Japan.
2: The politeness.
Eric and I stood outside a closed store waiting for it to open. Our luggage didn't make it to Japan and we needed clean clothes. Unprompted, a gentleman approached us and urged that we following him. Winding around the shops in Ginza, he led us to a bigger store that would open sooner. We didn't ask for help. Politeness is a part of Japanese culture. We witnessed Japanese businessmen in a "bow battle" to show respect for each other. I joined in the the Japanese courtesy of wearing a face mask to avoid spreading my sickness to the masses. There's this genuine and courteous code of conduct in Japan. I love it. I think our world could use a lot this Japanese politeness.
3: The toilets.
The toilets really are porcelain thrones.
Your derriere gets the royal treatment in Japan. Let's describe the scene. The stall door opens, triggering the toilet seat to automatically lift, revealing a blue glow from the bowl. You may think you hear choirs of angels singing the Hallelujah Chorus, but realize it's just the sound effects of a bubbling brook, playing to drown out the noise of doing your business. The seat is heated for your seat, with buttons to adjust the temperature to your butt's warming preferences. One you're relieved, it's time to activate the bidet for your bum, with streams of warm water shooting at your ritzy rear. Oh, and the toilet paper has the delicate scent of roses. I found you, Miss New Booty in a Japanese luxury lavatory. I felt so dignified with my polished posterior.
4: The public transportation.
Did I enter a futuristic utopia of clean, timely, and efficient transit?
If one thing impressed me most about Japan, it was mobility. The speed of the shinkansen. The usability of Japan Rail. The interconnectedness of Kyoto's bus system. As a traveler, mobility is important. In the U.S., nothing can hold a candle to Japan. I'm from the Motor City, where public transit is virtually nonexistent. Transportation is something I'll forever love about Japan.
5: The food displays.
Watch what you eat.
The only thing better than window shopping your next meal in Japan is actually eating it. Restaurants display a realistic faux food shrine ouside their business to show the cuisine available inside. From ramen to bento boxes to ornate parfaits, these food replicas are so artful and realistic, they're nearly a tourist attraction themselves. Not only did these food dislays entice our tastebudes, they helped us figure out where to eat and what to order without worrying about the language barrier.
6: Cuteness, right meow.
Kawaii is King.
Japan is the birthplace of the intersection of sickeningly cute and adorable design. This distinctly Japanese cuteness is called kawaii. Hello Kitty and Gudetama and and Pusheen and anime… these are the things that illustrate kawaii. Animals and inanimate objects are given life and personality. From ads to trinkets to construction barrels and clothing, a corner isn't tuned without some element of cute. When I saw these things, I'd think this is for kids. Then I'd realize, no, this is Japan. And I loved it. I felt like life doesn't have to be so serious all the time. Just because we grow up doesn't mean we can't enjoy these cute, child-like things.
7: The cafe culture.
Would you like an owl with that latte?
Leave it to the Japanese to invest the quirkiest cafes. They're the trendsetters of the unconventional, creating buzz and stirring curiosity to attract interested travelers to experience these unorthodox establishments for themselves. I feel like there's a cafe committeee of over-caffienated creatives who sit around a table and brainstorm zany cafe concepts. In Japan, you can experience car cafes, owl cafes, mid cafes, monster cafes, bunny cafes, hedgehog cafes…
Read all about my Japan Owl Cafe experience.

A lot has happened since the first basketballs bounced on the then-new surface at the St. James Sports Center 15 years ago.
But the center thrives, a hub of activity in Holmestown and a success story that isn't about to end anytime soon, say its biggest fans.
"This is God's building, man," St. James Sports Center Director Ernie Walthour said. "It's going to be here when they put my coffin in the ground. It's going to be right here, it's going to be growing and it's going to be moving kids in the right direction."
Walthour, a 1985 graduate of Bradwell Institute and a member of the Liberty County Athletic Hall of Fame, estimates the center already has helped thousands of children since he left a job with Fort Stewart Youth Services in 1996 to become the facility's one and only director to date — and it's most public representative.
Under his watch, the center has expanded both its facilities and what it offers to the community. Now, the basketball court is surrounded by a weight room, a game room, a study hall and a place to feed kids. All are funded through private sources, the St. James' supportive 125-member congregation and the United Way.
Fees for summer camps and after-school programs are nominal, and "we scholarship in a whole lot of kids," said Pastor Marvin Kelly, who started the center along with his father, Bishop Ernest Kelly.
"We don't turn people down," Pastor Kelly said. "We need some funds coming in to operate, but we don't want to see a kid left behind because they don't have the money. The object is not to get rich. The object is to help the community."
It's a community that stretches beyond Holmestown. First Presbyterian Christian Academy's basketball and soccer teams play their home games at St. James. And St. James' facilities also are shared with the Hinesville Gators and the Liberty County Recreation Department.
As the program has grown, so has the need for more facilities, Walthour said. A baseball field and track are on the way, and a second basketball court is on the priority list.
"That's our biggest need," Walthour said. "We really need another court becasue a lot of people are using this one now."
Jay Osteen, an attorney and member of the St. James Sports Center board of directors, said plans are under way for the second court. He credits the Kellys with having the vision to start the center and Walthour, who uses basketball to reach kids, for much of its success.
"Basketball is one of those things these kids really enjoy," Walthour said. "It is a way to keep them focused and, a lot of times, they know it's a way out of where they're at. It makes them want to keep their GPAs up and pass their SATs because they have to if they want to play basketball."
His AAU teams, the Coastal Crew Rebels, compete around the country and they'll go to New York this winter.
But college coaches also come to St. James, since Walthour has established a track record of helping talented kids "get to the next level."
But it's not all fun and games. There's book work, too. Education is stressed at the St. James Sports Center, Walthour said, and the center has both a computer lab and a tutoring center under the leadership of Alfreda Golden.
"Academics are the most important thing we do at the center," Osteen said. "Our after-school program is set up to help the public school student succeed in public school … and so they'll have grades that are high enough for them to seize the opportunity, if they want to, to go to college."
Other key members of the sports center family are Sabrina Mims, who works with the after-school program and summer camp; Alfred Golden, Nate Golden, Larry Golden and Tony Johnson, who "keep the place looking beautiful," Walthour said; and Sarah Atkinson, who is responsible for feeding everyone.
The reason for all the work can be found in the Bible, according to Pastor Kelly, but it boils down to something pretty simple.
"There's a need," he said. "If we follow the pattern of Jesus, Jesus always went where there's a need. If there's no need for something, then it's a waste of time. You have to go where the people have need."
Kelly someday envisions expanding St. James' outreach programs to include helping senior citizens and a prison ministry.
For now, hundreds of kids a year are involved in at least one of the center's various programs. Both Walthour and Osteen expect that number to continue to grow. They believe the St. James Sports Center will continue to find the resources it needs to do its job.
"The foundation we started with for the first 15 years was much smaller than it is now," Osteen said. "The foundation we have now is so much larger, so we have a larger foundation to build on now. That bodes well for us influencing and helping many more kids than we did the last 15 years."
The key is putting kids first, he said.
"You have to have the right people on your team who have a heart for kids," Osteen said. "That's No. 1, because you don't get rich in this line of work."
Pastor Kelly said that his first idea was to build a playground. But after discussing it with his father, they decided to build a gym instead — and that led to so much more than basketball.
"We're not trying to indoctrinate kids, but to show God to them," he said. "We're trying to show them there is a right way and a wrong way of doing things, and that if you work hard, you can be successful."
The effort has borne fruit, supporters say. Through Walthour's basketball program alone, the center has helped approximately 100 student-athletes get college scholarships, Osteen said.
"A lot of those kids are doing well in college," Pastor Kelly said. "A lot have grad-uated already and are doing very well."
A lot has happened since the first basketballs bounced on the then-new surface at the St. James Sports Center 15 years ago.

Narendra Modi closing in on tax evaders, will make evasion impossible
The government's various steps are likely to show visible results next year. 2018 may well turn out to be the year of the taxman.
According to experts, data analytics can establish linkages between people, their income and investments and can raise red flags. By using advance tools to scrutinise both structured and unstructured data, the government can analyse and establish relationships between different entities or people going several levels deep, based on different sets of data such as addresses, phone calls, social media interactions, travel trends and I-T returns.
Demonetisation throwing up huge data on bank deposits gave the government an opportunity to apply data analytics to scan tax irregularities. It can even track your online behaviour. Ever wondered how websites show you ads that match your interests? They track your searches and behaviour on Internet. Financial data can also come under a similar but closer scrutiny if data analytics is deployed to detect tax discrepancies. Robo-audits—or computers comparing your tax information with third-party data—can bring almost every single taxpayer under scrutiny. If you post a picture of your shiny new car on social media, be prepared to answer the taxman. With its 'Project Insight', the tax department can know more about your expenditure than you think. Project Insight uses data analytics to glean information from social media sites to find mismatches between spending and declared income.
Last year, the tax department signed a pact with L&T Infotech for implementation of Project Insight, which is designed to strengthen the non-intrusive information-driven approach for improving tax compliance.
The government is even bringing so-called "safe methods to evade taxes' under scrutiny. For example, agricultural income is exempt from tax in India, but many times people use this exemption to convert black money into white. Some land-owners claim tax exemption on the basis of fake payment slips from vendors, thus proving that they had farmed the land before selling it.
But now income tax department has a very effective way to find out such tax evaders. The department accesses satellite imagery from Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) of the piece of land for specific time periods and if there are no standing crops in that period, it is proved that the assessee is trying to avoid taxes.
Use of technology to mine and analyse huge caches of data generated by demonetisation, GST filings and internet trails will leave little space for anyone to evade taxes. As government's data analytics drive started showing results next year, income tax will become an inescapable certainty.

Music Monday Download
3 comments:
Lvoe this! I think I'm about 2/3 years older than you, so this is right up my alley. Now, for my related, embarrassing Color Me Bad story. I think it was my freshman year of high school and I went to a free concert that Color Me Bad held at a local park with one of my friends. She was Miss Teen Florida (I grew up in FL), and obviously very pretty. Anyway, we pushed our way to the front row, and my friend held one of the singers hands while he sang one of their songs (the one in the still of the video with the perma-5 o'clock shadow). She was a huge country music fan and didn't even know their songs, although she did not mind the extra attention! Anyway, I look back and laugh. Hope you have a good Monday, thanks for the walk down memory lane.ReplyDeleteReplies
That's halarious! It's funny how one song can completely take you back, right? I heard this on the radio a while back and actually downloaded it on my phone. I can't help but crack up when I hear it...until I saw the video again, which makes it even funnier!!Delete
Have a great Monday!!
HAHA!! I really like this song, a lot!!ReplyDelete

A Port as Karlshamn is an important part of the infrastructure which is vital for the development of industry, trade and logistics. Not only for the region, but also from a national and international perspective. Operation and development of a port of this scale is based on sustainability and determination. This culture is firmly grounded in Karlshamn. Operation of a Port is expensive, with big investments, high maintenance costs and low margins. It's not for the one who looks for fast profits.
Half a century ago, far-sighted politicians in Karlshamn decided to move the Port activities from the centre of the city to an area outside called Stilleryd. It was a big decision with...
