Tara Connolly
A swift jab to the man's left cheek bone left him scrambling and defeated on the ground. Tara's unforgiving gaze rested on him, assessing him carefully to assure that the lesson she had intended had been accurately taught.
"Let that be a warning to you," she began cooly, "That I expect all deliveries to arrive promptly and expressly to my doorstep. Is that understood?" The man, still trembling from the final, harsh blow and the several that had come before it, nodded his head furiously. He had been charged with delivering a package that Tara had ordered a few hours before, and it had arrived an hour later than she had expected. Even though it was not the delivery man's fault but rather the company's, the man was obviously of lower status and most likely deserved the punishment anyways. "Very well, then. Off you trot." The man scampered quickly away, rubbing his face as he fled.
With a newly-refreshed feeling of superiority, Tara glided over to where the package had been placed before the fiasco and picked it up. Despite her rather harsh and violent nature, she delicately sliced at the edges of the package with her laser pocket knife. Once the aluminum box had been opened appropriately, she gently lifted the edges of the lid until the desired object was clearly visible. Inside was a pair of sapphire-encrested earrings laced with silver embellishments. Pleased enough with this, she quickly put the earrings in. It was always a pride of hers to look her best, even if her job did require exertion and physical prowess. Why couldn't one be pretty and powerful?
But, with the frivolities of the day taken care of, it was now time to do her work. She had already gotten into "uniform" for the day, though hers differed from the average police officer's, of course. She chose to wear a royal blue, military-esque jacket embroidered with gold thread. The shoulders of it were large, showing her authority and malice. The buttons were also gold, with elegant designs that depicted several showings of power and justice. The pants she wore were more simple, a black tight-fitting brand that allowed her curves to be accentuated. She wore black military boots as well, that were well-equipped for running. The bottoms were metal, and she had learned that they could easily break the bones of someone else's face. Her hair was thrown back into a sufficient ponytail, though ribbons were tied around it to add a sort of flair. No matter how many embellishments she wore, she always looked intimidating to those below her, and even those equal to her. Her face always seemed to bare a slight smile, no matter the situation, and the smile was almost always a false one that her face just naturally acquired. Her icy blue eyes, however, always told the truth; they seemed calculating and cunning at all times, and sometimes would shower those that they looked upon with violent intents. Some liked to describe her as the "Child of Hell" for her false innocent look.
She ascended the grand stair case of her home (although it really wasn't particularly grand; it just happened to be in the foyer and was the main stair case of the house) and headed towards her office. She walked in and placed herself at the metallic desk; everything in the room was stream-lined and efficient. All-in-all, it could be described as an effectively official space. Taking a seat, she turned on the surface of the desk (which was a touch-compatible computer screen of sorts) and began quickly flicking reports from her subordinate officers. She quickly found the most important ones, compiled them into a report, and sent them to Lord Darius and Lady Nyth. The reports mainly consisted of somewhat trivial things; the consistency of crime rates, the capital punishments and other deaths that had been reported in the day, and so on and so forth. However, she managed to put special emphasis on things that could be or seemed to be related to any Junsya activity.
For obvious reasons, Tara was very fascinated and similarly plagued by the actions of the Junsya. Every victory of theirs was a loss of hers, and she did not take losing lightly. She had made it a personal duty of hers to seek out members of Junsya and destroy them. She had already personally executed a few people who had been supposed members of the Junsya.
Having finished the reports to the Leaders of City Council, she found time for a more personal request. She clicked a pin on the cuff of her jacket, which activated a communication device which gave her direct communication with her servants. "Arsen, bring me a salad. And see if you can find the name of the man that delivered my package today, too; I'm going to contact his company and see about having him fired for being late."
Arsen Hacket was one of her servants, and one of the ones that she was more "fond" of, if that word could be used. It wasn't necessarily fondness, but rather that she didn't dislike him as much as most of the other servants. He seemed like he would make a good Chi, someday. She would actually most likely even pay for his surgery, if he asked nicely. Still, all of her servants had received punishments at some point, and most received them on a somewhat regular basis. She was truly heartless when it came to punishing her servants. A few had even died from infections from injuries which she had given to them. (Though, of course, the medical reports would never say such things.) She quickly thought of one more thing. "And let Niall into my office when you bring the salad."
Niall was Tara's pride and joy; a beagle at three years of age. If Tara could be said to "love" anything, it was certainly that dog. He was the one thing that she would protect unto the ends of the Earth, besides the society which she served. He was always happy and a fiery little pup, much like Tara was before her operation. It was always a requirement of hers to find the time to play with him.

Good scouting can give you a lot of important information about what your opponent is doing and the score can too. If you know how to read it that is. This is how scoring works as best as I can understand it. I hope it is of some use to you.
Essentially the score is the value of what the player currently has. That means resources in the stockpiles as well as the buildings, units, and technologies. In the post game, this is shown as one point for every unit of resource. During the game, the ones and tens places are truncated. Units or buildings that are killed or destroyed no longer count towards a player's score.
You may have noticed in the post game you can choose to view not just the total score but also the military and economic scores separately. The distinction between the two is what makes paying close attention to the score worthwhile.
Military and Economic scores are calculated exactly the same way the total score is, just split into two categories. Players essentially get one point for every 100 resources in the stockpile or invested in economy (villagers, buildings, and techs). Military works the same way. The cost of all military units, buildings and technologies makes up the military score. Not sure, what's what? The mini-map filters use the same categories as the score.
The option to display the scores separately was taken out a few patches back as a design decision by ensemble. So, you cannot tell how much of the total score is military anymore. Instead, the thing to watch for is fluctuations in score. You cannot tell if someone has started to age up based on his or her econ score. The resources have simply been reinvested and are still counted as part of the score. However, military units and technologies do not appear to count until they are finished being created or researched. Military buildings still show up as part of the military score as soon as the amount is deducted from the econ score. Thus, you can tell when someone has decided to spend a lot on military.
The scores types for all units and techs can be seen in the proto and tech-tree files.
Economic score does not include extra economic score for trading posts that are set to gather resources. Depending on the map, they can easily be counted as 10 points.
Native trading posts are counted as economic, not military. Do not expect to be able to tell the difference between a fast fortress and a native rush by looking at the score. There is still no substitute for scouting.
Wagons do not count until the foundation is placed. Forts are worth 11.
Combine scouting and deck checking with frequent glances at the score and you will be able to tell a lot. An easy and helpful one is if another wave is going to be coming at your town or your opponent has decided to save up for advancing. But by far the most important is the indication of a military building right after reaching colonial. It is a dead giveaway most of the time to see the score drop just and then go down again 20-30 seconds later. As this is the result of a military building being built and then units being queued once it is completed.
The score does not refresh at a super fast rate so some things can be a bit deceiving. Gather resources from crates can offset some of the drop. A large seven-point gain is likely to be a military shipment arriving but maybe all the villagers went for the crates.

How President Trump Saved The Last Tank Plant In America
Loren ThompsonSenior Contributor
I write about national security, especially its business dimensions.
If you want to believe America is still the "arsenal of democracy" that Franklin Roosevelt described in 1940, you might want to avoid looking too closely at the U.S. manufacturing sector. China has become the world's premier industrial power, greatly out-producing the United States in everything from steel to smartphones. Germany's machine-tool industry outshines our own. No U.S. shipyard has built a commercial ship destined for international commerce in decades.
The economic consequences of America's manufacturing decline have been widely reported. What gets less attention is how industrial decay might impact national defense. Nobody really knows how a future great-power conflict might unfold, but Washington could be forced to use nuclear weapons to avert defeat if it can't mobilize quickly for conventional combat. President Trump is the first chief executive since the Cold War ended who seems to grasp what a waning industrial base might one day mean for our security.
On Thursday of this week, I toured the last remaining tank plant in America, located in Lima, Ohio. General Dynamics, a donor to my think tank and consulting client, flew me there to see where it assembles the latest version of the Army's M1A2 main battle tank. The cavernous facility contains 1.6 million square feet of manufacturing space. The Trump administration is investing a boatload of money in modernizing the facility, but it's clear the place was neglected for a long time after Washington declared victory over communism.
How neglected? The Army actually wanted to close it -- it is a government-owned facility -- even though it was the only surviving tank plant in the Western Hemisphere. At the time, the Obama administration was forecasting relaxed tensions around the world, and steadily withdrawing U.S. military units from Europe. Obama's predecessor had done the same. Up until the 2014 Russian invasion of Ukraine, nobody thought Moscow was going to be a problem. So the Army figured it could save money by mothballing the plant and reopening it at some future date.
The Abrams tank assembly line at Lima's Joint Systems Manufacturing Center. Five years ago, there... [+] was only one tank on the line.
However, you can't mothball workers. If the plant actually had closed, they would have drifted away -- taking with them highly specialized skills like the ability to weld ballistic steel and titanium. Fortunately, Congress pushed back, appropriating just enough money for refurbished tanks to keep skills intact when combined with tank sales to foreign customers. But America's last tank plant was on life support. Production of tanks fell to one per month. On the day Obama left office, a grand total of 75 workers were assembling tanks.
It wasn't like that in the old days. Back when the Abrams tank was new in the 1980s, 3,800 workers were turning out 60 tanks per month at Lima. A second plant in Detroit was building 60 tanks per month too, using steel shells fabricated at Lima. Eventually over 9,000 of them were produced for the Army, the Marine Corps, the National Guard and allies. But then the Cold War ended. The Clinton administration ceased production of new tanks in 1996, and the Detroit tank plant closed the same year. Lima went into a long decline.
Work surged briefly during the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan as the plant focused on turning out Stryker wheeled troop carriers, with employment peaking in 2008 at 1,200. But the Obama years saw the tank plant experiencing the same erosion evident elsewhere in industrial America, with the workforce drifting downward to 441 employees in 2016. And most of them were not building tanks. Foreign sales of Abrams, upgrades of Stryker, and fabrication of Israel's Namer troop carrier kept the place going -- barely.
Enter Trump. The nation's 45th president made rebuilding the military and revitalizing America's manufacturing base two of his top priorities. The president's advisors soon realized that Lima was a place where those two goals converged. Not only that, but the plant's location in Ohio and the concentration of its supply chain in Florida, Indiana, Michigan, Ohio and Pennsylvania gave tanks unusual electoral salience. No Republican candidate has ever won the White House without carrying Ohio.
So when Trump increased the defense budget in 2018, there was new money for tanks. The Army requested a full brigade's worth (87), Congress added more for losses in overseas wars, and there was a line item for the tank industrial base. In FY2019 -- the fiscal year begun October 1, 2018 -- the Army requested enough tanks to equip one-and-a-half armored brigades, a total of 135 tanks. That's quite a change for a facility that a few years back only had one tank on its assembly line. Employment at the plant has risen to 573, and is expected to exceed 1,000 soon.
The tanks being turned out are an upgraded version of older vehicles pulled from the Sierra Army Depot. The hulls are completely reconditioned, and then new equipment is installed, bringing the tanks up to the latest combat standards. That includes improved sensors, targeting devices, networking gear and power-generation equipment. The goal is to make the vehicle more lethal and survivable than any other tank in the world. The technical designation of the latest production variant is M1A2 System Enhancement Package Version 3.
A fourth version is already in the works, because the armor and anti-armor capabilities of countries like Russia are advancing steadily. Tanks built at Lima during the Reagan era would not fare well against an industrialized adversary today without introducing upgraded electronics and new survivability features. It is anyone's guess whether the current improvements would be underway in Trump's absence, but the Lima plant -- officially called the Joint Systems Manufacturing Center -- is now a focus of interest for both the president and vice president.
In retrospect, it was shortsighted to ever entertain the possibility of shuttering the nation's only tank plant. Just as the Lima plant combines industrial, security and electoral priorities of the Trump White House, so its treatment reflected the very different philosophy of the White House during the Obama years -- a philosophy that seemed indifferent to the fate of America's heavy industries. The people I met at the plant were circumspect about discussing politics, but they clearly appreciate what Trump has done for the place where they work.
Their goal now is to keep the renewed funding for their products going so that the plant can be vigorously manned and revitalized. The Army is fully on board in the aftermath of Russia's Ukraine aggression, and it appears the White House is too. Key members of Congress such as Ohio's Mike Turner have weighed in repeatedly on the importance of keeping the Lima complex robustly funded. Hopes are high that the president's 2020 budget request will signal America's last tank plant is back in business for a long time to come.

Er, me. You are not going to grow up to be a singer. But you will love music for the rest of your life. For that matter, Quantum Leap will mean as much to you at 25 as it does now, but for totally different reasons. You will also be a big girl for your foreseeable future, and I wish it didn't matter as much to you as I know it will. Let's get some basic stuff out of the way: you are smart enough to hold your own in a room full of your peers. You are also deserving of love, whether those around you give it or not. Renea, what you cannot realize yet is that you are, right now, the archetype for the woman you will become. If you were not able to trudge through the hardships your are living right now, I would be unable to have faith in myself as I trudge through hardships today. Believe me, baby girl, sometimes keeping your head down and moving forward is your salvation, even if you don't know it.
Don't take it personally if you talk to God and nothing happens. This will make sense one day, and it isn't your fault. You will spend your whole life trying to feel loved by people who instead ignore you, but you will also learn how to see people in the kindest light possible. You will learn to be fair, even when people are unfair to you. Those are noble abilities, and ones you will pride yourself on. By the way, you don't really want to kill yourself. You think you do, but trust me, it gets better. Music alone will make your life worth living, so hold out.
I'm not going to lie to you: you are going to know some hardship. There are going to be times when you feel so sad that you won't won't know how to go on. But you will go on. You will survive everything that happens, and at 25 years old, you will feel strong for the first time in your whole life. You will learn that when you fall, your family will be there, and you don't have to go around pretend-building substitutes for them in the end. Oh, and for the record, your father is a douchebag. Unlike you, I'm not saying it secretly pining for him to notice me, it's the Goddamn truth. You will also swear a lot. To be perfectly frank, there aren't many opinions you have here that you will have later. That being said, be careful the opinions you draw on other people. You might be surprised where you find yourself someday, and how others might judge you.
You are going to meet a man that completes you. He will be your other half, and you will know love from him so pure and perfect that God would blush in shame before it. Building your relationship will save you again and again from yourself, and it will set a standard that frightens lesser people. His boyfriend is awesome too. At nearly a quarter of a century, you will realize that there is nothing wrong with wanting something good for yourself, and there is something wrong with people who only ever want something from you. The trick, you will fiind, is giving everyone a chance, and not giving everyone ten of them.
Hug your mother. When she is hard on you, understand. You cannot believe me now, I'm sure, but when there is nobody else around, she will be there. For that matter, go hug your grandmother. When you want her most to be there, she will not be. These women are in your bones, and you will find yourself to be more like them than you realize. This is a good thing, I promise. Also, tell your dad that you love him. The closest family you will ever have picked you and your mom. They wanted you, don't you ever forget that.
Baby, you will not have it easy. There will be times when people hurt you, and you never know why. There will be times when you don't know where you will be sleeping. There will be times when you think you might die. There will be times when you will be unable to cope with knowing someone else has died. But you will live. You will love people with more tenacity (look it up) than your twelve year old body can understand. You will learn that perspective is the greatest tool in your arsenal, and you will come to know the most important thing you can: to be alive is to be happy, the rest is just details.
Forgive yourself, enjoy what you can, and trust that every experience is a worthy one. Believe me, kiddo, the box you are handed at twelve might be useless to you then, but it will be just the thing when you're 25.
I thought my life was so hard at 12, I don't think I had any idea how much harder it was going to get. I wonder if I've gone through the worst of it or if the worst is yet to come.


Shoelaces are a necessity in many styles varieties of shoes, but mostly athletic styles. Shoelaces don't always come in white or colors they also come with magically appearing colors if they're sunactivated. The newest styles of shoes available today have multiple colors in their design, but they still have boring white laces. SolarActive shoe laces come to life as soon as they're exposed to the sunlight. Have you seen the magic of color change shoelaces?
SolarActive has a proprietary technology that allows the sunlight or UV rays to pass thru the thread causing a change of color. Color changing shoe laces are made of thread that instantly changes color in the sun. Color changing shoe laces aren't printed with color changing inks from SolarActive. Instead these shoelaces are processed with the actual woven thread. For instance a pair of shoe laces that start out white when you walk outdoors will immediately turn blue, green, orange or another color just from the UV rays of the sun. When you walk back indoors the color change will disappear, and the shoelaces will turn back to the original color. This process repeats itself over and over again just from the kiss of a little bit of the sun. Some of the SolarActive shoe lace designs are woven with patterns that are plaids, or with metallic yarns. Our new favorites are the plaid shoe laces that start blue and white, but when you go outdoors the sunactivated shoe laces change and 3 colors appear. Blue, white and purple! UV rays continue to change the color over and over again. With the athletic shoes being so bright and colorful why would anyone only want white shoelaces?
Color changing shoe laces make Great gifts. For more SolarActive gift ideas and products that change colors in the sunlight visit the website for details. So much magic to see with all see all the color changes available.
How long do SolarActive Screen Printing inks last?

For years we've tried to solve social problems in silos, as if they were disconnected from one another. There's the hunger cause, the poverty cause, the literacy cause, the social justice cause, the mental health cause, and on and on. Often, even when people think big, they think big inside the prison of a system of silos. They ask, "Which of these problems should we pick to dream about solving?" But what if it doesn't work that way? What if your efforts to solve for maternal health end up being undermined because you didn't include transportation? What if it's impossible to solve the problems one at a time because they're all connected? What if it's actually easier to address them all at the same time, holistically, recognizing that they are all connected – that they are all one big ecosystem of problems?
The Entanglements Department is all about understanding the tangled webs that connect all of the problems we want to solve, recognizing that solving all of them together is the only way we'll ever solve any one of them.
Check out just a few of these connections…
Hi, I'm Jon Romine. I'm committed to a broad mapping of the connections between the suffering we want to alleviate. I start officially on June 1. Let's get together and talk about how you see the entanglements. I'd love to talk. Email me and I'll get in touch after June 1st.

If Wizkid Had Been An American Born
Promise October 11, 2021
Ayodeji Ibrahim Balogun Popularly known as Wizkid Ayo is a Nigerian born. One of the great leagues to come out of Africa.
He is actually one of the reasons why Africa accepts the fact that Nigeria is the Giant of Africa.
Starboy Fc would say "Fela generated the Afrobeat genre, while Wizkid took it to the top spot" as he's now globally seen as the face of Afrobeats.
He was born in Lagos State (Surulele Precisely) and grew up with the love and passion for music. His global hit "Surulele" which he titled after his birth place had not only earned him credits alone but earned and brought respect to African Culture. The Yoruba's earned higher percent from the hit track as the song had greatly promoted their culture and language, the record was later remixed by Popular American singer Drake and Skepta who took the culture to the ears of their lovers worldwide.
Wizkid despite being born in Nigeria has paved so much way into the hearts of the Americans whose country currently have the highest and most famous recording artist in the world.
Americans have been on the top of the world music chart for a decade now as the most famous artist around the world had emerged from America or has a trace to America.
Ayo's style is incomparable. He is the DADDY YO of most Nigerian girls. His swag and nature are so different that every one would love to mingle.
He has created so much history in the Nigerian Recording industry along other legends who some have past away.
Americans are no doubt the heart of music, every country music lovers aside listening to their own country music listens to American music.
Wizkid's music style is accepted by the Americans and so earning him more respect in his country and beyond.
The acceptance of his genre despite not having any traits to America simply shows the world that he is great and only God would tell the level he would have been if he was actually an American.
Thank God he's not actually because he is a representative of the African Culture.
I end my writing by reminding you'll what Wizkid had said in one of his Lyrics "Till the day that I die, Yeah am on fire"

SESSION 205 - Burning Decisions: Case Studies on Appraisal for Access
In the United States, archival appraisal has been a key step in providing access to records, largely in response to the bulk of modern organizational records, the gaps in documenting underrepresented individuals and groups, and the shrinking of resources. With Frank Boles moderating and commenting, four archivists describe appraisal decisions that they applied while acquiring or administering large or complex collections and reflect on the selection paradigms that they applied in the decision-making process to enable access.

Cleveland's front-office is reportedly in the same boat as everyone else when it comes to LeBron James' future: completely in the dark.
According to Cleveland.com's Terry Pluto, the Cavs have inquired about the disgruntled superstar. It's a chance to add a talented young player to an aging championship team.
"They are taking calls from teams looking to move up in the draft via trade, and are seeking proven National Basketball Association vets whose presence would both improve the roster and be enticing to James". Now, following a disappointing defeat against the Golden State Warriors in this year's NBA Championship series, many are looking towards his next move as he may very well move into free agency again, possibly prompting a third installment of The Decision. He won three titles with the Lakers and one with the Miami Heat, but he didn't win any in the final three seasons of his 19-year career. It adds that the Boston Celtics - who made trade overtures for Leonard before the trade deadline - are expected to be a major suitor.
Reports surfaced over the weekend that Leonard is determined to play elsewhere despite an Express-News report earlier that said a plan is in place for the All-Star to sit down and discuss "any issues or concerns Leonard may have". And with the Lakers possessing the cap space to sign two stars - and perhaps the trade pieces to acquire another - this offseason, it may be a situation too flawless for James to pass up.
Fans who are on the lookout for how their teams will fare in the free agency market will have to wait until LeBron James makes his decision. The Cleveland Cavaliers want to make sure that he stays put in Northeast Ohio.
But with last week's trade request, the NBA's annual offseason game of dominos is officially underway. Also, they would have to send Taj Gibson to the Cavs in order to get Kevin back.
A widely held opinion from National Basketball Association observers is James is ready to leave Cleveland in free agency for a second time.
Farewell to the Oldest Sumatran Orangutan in the World!

I now call upon the Government of Canada to recognize the legitimate aspirations of the people of Nunavut to become equal participants in the Canadian confederation.
NDP MP Peter Ittinuar (Nunatsiaq) – maiden speech in the House of Commons, October 16, 1979.
After Peter Ittinuar first brought up the idea of a new territory in the North, it would take another 20 years to come to fruition. On April 1, 1999, Nunavut officially became a territory.
Is Nunavut where it should be at 20?
A bird's eye view sees 25 communities scattered across the tundra, accessible by air only.
It's a place where children regularly go to bed hungry, teenagers often don't finish high school, women experience violence at 13 times the national rate, and men commit suicide more than anywhere else in the developed world.
According to the Conference Board of Canada, Nunavut's economy is on step to grow by an average of 7.3 per cent until 2020.
The Canadian average economic growth for the same period is blow two per cent.
The suicide rate in Nunavut is nearly nine times the national average and everyone here is affected.
Mumilaaq Qaqqaq has personally lost loved ones to death by suicide and dedicated herself to helping heal Inuit.
What does it mean to be Inuk today?
In the small community of Pangnirtung, Nunavut population 1,416 in 2016, APTN News went to talk with young people about how isolation effects their every day lives.

Most adults probably know that we need to watch our sodium intake in order to reduce the risk of high blood pressure and heart disease. However, sodium is harder to avoid than you might think. That's because the typical Western diet includes a lot of processed and prepared foods, most of which contain a great deal of salt. If fact, approximately 90% of our daily sodium intake comes from these kinds of foods. Only 10% of the salt we consume is the direct result of salt being added as seasoning during cooking or while sitting at the table. This means that reducing the amount of processed and prepared foods in our diet is really the key to taking control of our sodium intake.
However, once you take control, it becomes very important to have seasoning alternatives to traditional table salt. Let's talk about "why" and then about "how". Excess intake of sodium chloride raises the risk of stroke and heart attack. However, studies have also shown that LOW salt diets can also increase your risk of dying from a heart attack or stroke. So the best advice available at the moment is to keep sodium chloride levels down to a reasonable level and eating the right KIND of salt.
The trouble for most of us is that our taste buds get in the way. The simple truth is that our tastes have been shaped by our diet, which (for most Americans) tends to be heavy on fat, sugar and salt. When these things are reduced or absent, our food tastes bland to us unless some other flavor picks up the slack, even when we cook everything from scratch. So what's to be done? Part of the answer is to rethink salt.
Typical table salt is 98% sodium chloride and 2% anti-caking material. Other trace elements (the kind found in natural sea salt) are usually removed during processing. But these trace elements-including calcium, potassium and magnesium - are actually important for our health and they add interesting flavors of their own. This is why some nutrition and culinary experts suggest that you use natural, unrefined salt in your salt shaker. This type of salt sometimes goes by names like "Celtic" sea salt or "gray" sea salt. The gray color indicates that the salt has not been bleached and stripped of other minerals. It usually tastes a lot better too, providing a richer and fuller flavor to your foods and allowing you to use less of it to achieve the same effect.
What about so-called "salt substitutes"? For the most part, these have been shown to fall short of the mark in terms of flavor. Consumer Reports conducted a blind taste test of four different commercial salt alternatives, almost all of which tasted metallic, bitter, or had an unpleasant aftertaste. The exception was Diamond Crystal Salt Sense, which tasted nearly like salt, and had about a third less sodium than table salt. If you want to remove the salt shaker entirely from the dinner table, however, there are a few alternatives for adding flavor without the sodium.
Perhaps the most healthy and flavorful of the salt alternatives is kelp flakes. Because kelp is a sea vegetable, the flakes not only impart a salty flavor, but they also provide a lot of minerals, particularly iodine, which has been added to common table salt for years to reduce thyroid disease. Kelp has naturally occurring iodine, in addition to folate, calcium, iron, magnesium, potassium, phosphorus and vitamin K. If you have thyroid problems, however, be sure to consult with your doctor before using kelp flakes. Other tasty alternatives to using table salt in your cooking are garlic (try roasting a few cloves drizzled with olive oil in the oven for 30 minutes, then blending it into potatoes, pasta, etc. for an almost sweet, nutty flavor), herbs and spices. These can add considerable flavor without adding sodium.

The Gamut of A. MacLeish
PETTINGELL, PHOEBE
On Poetry THE GAMUT OF A. MACLEISH BY PHOEBE PETTINGELL In the decade since his death, Archibald MacLeish's poetic reputation has been in limbo. During the 1920shewas regarded by many...
...More important, he argued, was that the ideas and emotions were his...
...But it does explain what forces drove its subject to rack up a multitude of accomplishments in as many fields .MacLeish frequently referred to himself as "one half Puritan and the other half very dour Scot...
...Following Germany's defeat, Roosevelt rewarded MacLeish by naming him the Assistant Secretary of State for Cultural and Public Affairs...
...MacLeish's bravest act was his 1923 decision, in the face of parental disapproval, to abandon his flourishing law career and pursue his poetic interests full-time...
...MacLeish en-joyed the ambience of faculty life, and remained at the university for nearly 15 years, until age and health made it necessary for him to finally retire from the public scene...
...By putting his inner self-doubts on display in a long, Modernist poem, he hoped readers would deem him as serious and innovative as T.S...
...Although Ada had just achieved her American professional breakthrough, he forced her to abandon her singing to minister to his bruised ego...
...In the end, this American Life is the tragedy of a man too busy to suffer, or to know himself...
...Another part longed to serve the public and, admittedly, enjoy the eclat and political influence he saw fellow ''Bonesmen" from Yale achieving...
...Black-mur accused him of emotional striptease...
...Eliot or Ezra Pound...
...He became a prime mover, too, in the Office of Facts and Figures, a short-lived propaganda bureau, and in its successor, the Office of War Information...
...It is not simply as a poet that Archibald MacLeish deserves to be remembered," Donaldson insists...
...He was a devoted worker, a skillful exhorter and made good use of his gift for pastiche...
...Ada MacLeish, a talented musician, sang starring roles in contemporaries' operas...
...His bright, high-minded mother, in contrast, stressed cultural values...
...Contemporary verse ought to serve humankind, he decided, and he began to pal around with another Midwesterner, Carl Sandburg...
...By this stage, though, it is unlikely MacLeish knew how to be sincere anymore...
...MacLeish turned the other cheek: While he was Librarian of Congress, he appointed her Poetry Consultant...
...And it isn't for you...
...MacLeish had long ago resolved that a poem should indeed mean...
...Louise Bogan, unsympathetic to his dilemma, vituperatively denounced the compromise she perceived him as having made: "Parochial punks, trimmers, nice people, joiners true blue,/Get the hell out of the way of the laurel...
...Robert Frost tartly pointed out that the sentiment pandered to the prevailing heresy of the late '50s and early '60s...
...Moreover, he appears never to have compromised his principles...
...In 1928, however, when the MacLeishes returned to win over the States, Archibald found success to be elusive...
...Whatever the case, in many respects the final career in Cambridge turned out to be the most gratifying...
...Scott Donaldson's Archibald MacLeish: An American Life (Houghton Mifflin, 622 pp., $35.00) cannot resolve the matter of literary merit...
...reestablished him in the public eye as a writer...
...MacLeish proved singularly effective at devising ways to boost the country's morale...
...Once again, his mother's concerns about being a good person triumphed over artistic integrity...
...frightened of the A-bomb, worried that God was dead...

Q: Click event doesn't bubble up In my page.html I have a div like this:

{{ post.title }}

{{ post.content }}

{{ post.date }}

in my page.ts I have:
expandContent(event) {
    console.log(event.target);

The problem is that the output is always the clicked child of the div.
For example, if I click the paragraph with class 'news-date' the event target is 'p.news-date' and my function doesn't trigger in the div specified.
How can I trigger my event function in the div specified?

A: You could use a template variable

If you only want to pass the element, you can also omit $event,

1. Wat Pho covers about 8 hectares of area. This temple ground is the headquarters for teaching and preserving the Traditional Thai medicine. This also includes the Thai Massage. This was a law passed by the Rama III just to save the tradition from extinction. The massage school is located in the temple premises. Apart from that, there are extra rooms for training outside the temple.
2. The temple was built by King Rama I. Earlier the area was a temple site that was later rebuilt by the King. This later became his main temple which also houses some of his ashes. The original name of the temple was Wat Photaram. The name refers to the Bodhi Tree at Bodh Gaya in India. This is the place where Buddha is believed to have attained enlightenment.
3. The Reclining Buddha (the Phra Buddhasaiyas) is about 46 meters long and is 15 metres high. The body of the Buddha is gold plated. The eyes of the Buddha are decorated using Mother-of-Pearl or Nacre. At the bottom of the Buddha's feet, you will find 108 holy scenes depicted in both Chinese and Indian styles.
4. The Reclining Buddha statue symbolises the passing of Lord Buddha to Nirvana.
5. The Wat Pho temple premises have two compounds. The North wall is the place where the Reclining Buddha is located. The Southern part of Wat Pho has the Buddhist Monastery (also known as Tukgawee) which is also a school.
6. UNESCO recognises all the inscriptions and marble illustrations on the temple premises under its Memory of the World Programme. This programme was launched for the preservation and for propagating the wisdom of the world heritage.
7. You will find pictorial encyclopaedia engraved on the walls and granite slabs in the temple. This encyclopaedia covers several subject areas such as health, proverbs, medicine, history, literature, and lexicography.
8. There are 91 small Stupas inside the temple premises. It's also home to a central shrine, four great Stupas, gardens and pavilions, and a temple museum.

Agricultural labor shortages and the drive for ever-higher productivity to control costs and keep prices low is driving the development of apple harvesters that rely on vacuum systems. These systems have been under development for several years, with promised introduction in 2018. Will this be the year that vacuum-driven automation reaches the orchards?
Equipment developers are approaching the challenge in two different ways. One relies on human pickers, and uses the vacuum for collection and transfer of the harvested apples. Workers on the ground pick apples within reach, while fellow workers on an elevated moving platform pick the apples higher on the tree. Both wear a small bucket as attached to a vest and connected to a vacuum system that transfers the apples through a tubing system. Each apple is deposited in its own pocket to reduce bruising, before gently being transferred to a collection bin.
The alternative is a system that seeks to actually pick the apples from the trees with a suction system, thereby largely replacing human pickers with automation. This approach relies on a sophisticated vision system that can find the apples on the tree and pluck them from the branch using a vacuum hose. Trials of the system indicated picking rates of more than one apple per second, but only with the picker stationary, and without the ability to reach the entire canopy of the tree.
Even as the mechanisms of each approach advance, future improvements to both technologies may involve changes in the orchards themselves. Training and pruning trees to create parallel tree walls that are more readily accessible to the pickers – whether humans on a moving platform or robotic suction arms – could ultimately determine if vacuum apple harvesting is the future.

Another year, another round of Best Of lists.
Pseudopod, and the other Escape Artists casts had a bit of a crisis to overcome this year–they realized that although they had a great listenership, only 1% of the listeners donated, and it wasn't enough to keep the publications afloat. The good news is that when they revealed this there was a strong reaction to add subscriptions–if you read this and you like the cast, consider adding a subscription.
And I thought this was another strong year for Pseudopod, and I'm not just saying that because two of my own stories were published during the year. Since I don't consider my own stories for Best Of lists, I'll just mention them briefly here. "Meat" is the story of a domestic housebot doing the best he can under difficult circumstances. "Helpers" is a special dark Christmas episode.
Pseudopod published 58 stories in 2013, of which these are my personal favorites.

More direct participation by employees helps the organization to achieve its Lifestyle segmentation rapidly and effortlessly. Unfortunately, cluster analysis regardless of Lifestyle segmentation many types and forms has inherent limitations and seldom yields coherent market segments.
For example, corporations may choose to market their brands in certain countries, but not in others. Additionally, by reaching niche groups of people, marketers can craft messages specifically for them. Often, hidden in plain view in the cross-tabs are tremendous findings that could form the basis for new or improved marketing strategies, advertising campaigns, or new products.
For example, if you were designing a market segmentation questionnaire for an airline, you might conduct a series of depth interviews to help design the questionnaire.
If a brand pours all of its budget into one media, it can possibly dominate the segment of the market that listens to that radio station or reads that magazine. Distribution Segmentation Different markets can be reached through different channels of distribution.
It is easy to get lost in this treasure trove of answers and come up with confusing and baffling results. Typically, verbatim comments from consumers are used Lifestyle segmentation build batteries of psychographic or lifestyle statements these two terms are used interchangeably. Other examples of distributional segmentation would be an upscale line of clothing sold only in expensive department stores, or a luxury hair shampoo sold only through upscale beauty salons.
A chainsaw company might only market its products in areas with forests. What is market segmentation? The final step is to attach a segment code to each market segment identified and then cross-tab all of the questionnaire variables by the segments. Campers are a diverse group.
Music streaming services tend to be targeted to the young, while hearing aids are targeted to the elderly. A great deal of money is wasted on psychographic segmentations that never lead to any marketing actions. For example, a company might choose to market its red-eye gravy only in the southeastern U.
This culture can only be adopted if senior managers are satisfied with more employees' participation in the day-to-day working of the company.

Likewise, a picante sauce might concentrate its distribution and advertising in the Southwest. These people value a good deal and tend to be smart shoppers.
Price Segmentation Price segmentation is common and widely practiced. Behavioral segmenting is based on repeat or loyal customers versus one-time users.
Correlation analysis and regression can be used for this purpose.Experian Marketing Services' Mosaic USA is a household-based consumer lifestyle segmentation that empowers marketers with the insights needed to anticipate the behavior, attitudes and preferences of their most profitable customers and reach them in the most effective channels with the best messages.

I was exhausted pretty much all day yesterday, to the point where right after I got home, I slept for about three hours. Even after waking up to call my dad for his birthday and make dinner, I was still tired enough after midnight to pass out in my bed with all the lights in my apartment still on. I'm still not feeling great today, despite my second coffee, and aside from a trip to the grocery store and post office, I'm probably going to spend most of the next few days at home. Good thing tomorrow's my day off.
I don't really have much else to write about today, but I do agree there needs to be more media depictions of friendships between lesbians and gay men. Let's hope I have more to write about tomorrow.
