Umami is the
fifth basic taste after sweet, salty, bitter and sour. Derived from the Japanese word umai, meaning
“delicious,” umami (pronounced oo-MAH-mee) is described as a savory, brothy,
rich or meaty taste sensation. To
scientists, umami indicates a high level of glutamate, an amino acid and
building block of protein. To chefs and
food lovers, it’s a satisfying sense of deep, complete flavor, balancing savory
flavors and full-bodied taste with distinctive qualities of aroma and
mouthfeel. Imagine such wholly satisfying foods as steak with sautéed
mushrooms, coq au vin and pasta with tomato sauce and Parmesan. That burst of rich, savory flavor is umami. Cured meats, soy sauce, aged cheese and
mushrooms are rich in it. http://www.mushroomsonthemenu.com/umami/

According to Russell
Ackoff, a systems theorist and professor of organizational change, the content
of the human mind can be classified into five categories: Data: symbols; Information: data that are processed to be useful;
provides answers to "who", "what", "where", and
"when" questions; Knowledge:
application of data and information; answers "how" questions; Understanding: appreciation of "why"; Wisdom: evaluated
understanding. Ackoff indicates that the
first four categories relate to the past; they deal with what has been or what
is known. Only the fifth category,
wisdom, deals with the future because it incorporates vision and design. With wisdom, people can create the future
rather than just grasp the present and past.

Kansas City traces its beginnings to 1821, the
year Missouri was admitted to the Union.
In that year a Frenchman from St. Louis, Francois Chouteau, came up the
Missouri River and established a trading post on the waterway about three miles
below the great bend in the river, now the Northeast Industrial District. After being flooded out in 1826, he rebuilt
on higher ground at the foot of what is now Troost Avenue. Legend
has it that the names Port Fonda, Rabbitville and Possum Trot were rejected in
favor of the Town of Kansas, after the
Kansa Indians who inhabited the area.
The town retained that name when it was incorporated and granted a
charter by Jackson County June 1, 1850.
(When it was incorporated by the state Feb. 22, 1853, it became the City
of Kansas, and in 1889, it officially became known as Kansas City.) The railroads
helped make possible one of Kansas City’s biggest early-day industries: cattle.
From beginnings not long after the Civil War, the city became one of the
world’s major cattle markets. The Kansas City stockyard was founded in 1870,
and the Kansas City Livestock Exchange there, in its heyday early in the 20th
century, was the largest building in the world devoted exclusively to livestock
interests. It is said to have more
fountains than any city except Rome, and more boulevards than any city except
Paris. http://kcmo.gov/kansas-city-history/
