The CPUSA celebrates its radical history on May Day
Home > Article > The CPUSA celebrates its radical history on May Day
BY:Jacob Buckner| May 4, 2022
On International Workers Day members of the Communist Party and Young Communist League in New York City came out to support workers in the continued struggle against capitalist exploitation. This May Day action, which was the largest in a decade, proved that workers understand that it is our class that generates and holds power. Members of CPUSA and YCL marched collectively, carrying red flags and signs in solidarity with the labor struggle. We celebrated the resilience of this militant worker movement and continue to note that Communists have always been essential in fighting for the whole of the working class.
CPUSA also demonstrated its continued support for all worker struggles as we followed our Amazon Labor Union comrades in the parade. As the ALU fights for recognition of their union, the party acknowledged their organizing power with chants such as "Up with the workers, down with the bosses!" and "What's disgusting, union busting!" We sang "Solidarity Forever," the Ralph Chaplin song written for Lucy Parsons for a January 15, 1915, march in Chicago. The party's chants, flags, and signs all showed that it is the workers' labor that accumulates super profits for capitalists and it is the workers that will win against economic subjugation.
Just as it took a popular front of groups to help the Amazon Labor Union win their decisive victory, this year's May Day represents the coalitional unity of working-class groups in fighting toward working-class power. Organizations present include Teamsters Local 79, ALU, New Immigrant Community Empowerment (NICE), RWDSU, the Communist Party, Make the Road New York, Churches United for Fair Housing (CUFFH), Building Trades for Worker Democracy, Industrial Workers of the World (IWW), Arab American Association of New York, and many more.
The radical history of May Day
From the beginning of the labor movement in the United States, May Day has been essential for building working-class solidarity and fighting for worker rights. Starting in the early 19th century, the working class demanded that their essential labor be valued. Before the 19th century when workers demanded shorter, eight-hour days, it was customary to work 18–20-hour work shifts, especially in the agricultural and textile sectors.
From the beginning of the U.S. labor movement, it was Left radicalism that offered an avenue to break the cycle of capitalist exploitation. From the Pennsylvania coal miner strikes of 1875 to the great steel and railroad strikes of 1877, these early labor struggles inspired worker militancy toward winning the eight-hour workday. Leading up to the historic 1886 May Day action, the number of strikes and walkouts grew all over the country. This not only represented the desire of workers for concrete economic demands, but an understanding of workers to fight against the capitalist system.
In a history of May Day, Alexander Trachtenberg writes:
The number of strikes during 1885 and 1886 as compared with previous years shows what a spirit of militancy was animating the labor movement. Not only were the workers preparing for action on May First, 1886, but in 1885 the number of strikes already showed an appreciable increase. During the years 1881-1884 the number of strikes and lockouts averaged less than 500, and on the average involved only about 150,000 workers a year. The strikes and lockouts in 1885 increased to about 700 and the number of workers involved jumped to 250,000. In 1886 the number of strikes more than doubled over 1885, attaining to as many as 1,572, with a proportional increase in the number of workers affected, now 600,000.
This aligned with an increase in establishments affected by strikes generally, from 2,467 to 11,562. This constituted over 500,000 workers fighting for a decrease in the working day to eight hours and building a response to the destructive effects of capitalism. On May 1, 1886, the first of these major demonstrations was held, with 350,000 workers throughout the country demanding the eight-hour workday. In Chicago 40,000 workers demonstrated, and in New York City 10,000 turned out.
The capitalist state responded to these workers by using its police force to attack the movement. This resulted in events such as the Haymarket Affair in Chicago, where radical organizers were detained and seven murdered by the state. But this did not stop the workers from struggling against the forces of capitalism.
May Day has always demonstrated the power and unity of the working class. As Friedrich Engels said on May Day in 1890, the unity of the working class will be a central component in the consolidation of power for the Proletariat:
As I write these lines, the proletariat of Europe and America is holding a review of its forces; it is mobilized for the first time as One army, under One Bag, and fighting One immediate aim: an eight-hour working day, established by legal enactment. . . . The spectacle we are now witnessing will make the capitalists and landowners of all lands realize that today the proletarians of all lands are, in very truth, united.
The legacy of May Day inspires us and assists in sparking class consciousness among the whole working class. It is the power of the working class that not only fights for a shorter workday but for the transformation of the economic system toward Socialism. As the German revolutionary Rosa Luxemburg emphasized, <indentThe first of May demanded the introduction of the eight-hour day. But even after this goal was reached, May Day was not given up. As long as the struggle of the workers against the bourgeoisie and the ruling class continues, as long as all demands are not met, May Day will be the yearly expression of these demands.
Solidarity with all workers!
May Day represents not only the fight of workers within specific industries but also the importance of combating racism and all forms of worker subjugation. It's essential to stand with our brothers and sisters, especially immigrant workers, in the struggle against capitalist exploitation. Their labor is especially exploited for super profits: from the agricultural sector to Amazon, Black and brown immigrant workers face the brunt of a system that values profit over worker rights.
We will continue to fight alongside the most oppressed workers who face exploitation from the capitalist system. Being in solidarity with these workers results in freedom for all workers, As Marx aptly emphasized, "In the United States of America, any sort of independent labor movement was paralyzed so long as slavery disfigured a part of the republic. Labor with a white skin cannot emancipate itself where labor with a black skin is branded." The liberation of all workers requires that we fight all forms of worker oppression, including the racism and threats of deportation experienced by immigrants and the poverty wages they receive.
As a representative from the Arab American Association of New York pointed out at the rally, these workers are not only the most vulnerable under capitalism, but it is their labor that makes production possible to begin with:
We are now three years into the pandemic and we still witness the devaluing of workers, especially immigrant workers. This country was founded on the labor of immigrant workers; from farm workers to factory workers, this country was founded on exploitation. This country survives on the labor of immigrants in every industry. We are here in the streets to demand more for immigrant workers, we demand health care, shelter, and pathway to citizenship. We want more for the workers that this country exploits every single day and uses for cheap labor.
While fighting for better working conditions for immigrant workers, we should simultaneously celebrate their achievements. . One worker, Jason Anthony, a lead organizer in the Amazon Labor Union, alluded to this point, stating, <indentWe should not only recognize the struggles of the worker movement but also . . . their achievements. We should be acknowledging and receiving immigrants that come from all over. New York City is a melting pot, that is why it is so diverse and that is why there's so many types of workers. . . . [Workers] move everything, not the billionaires, not the one percent, but the 99 percent moves the economy.
The legacy of Communists in the labor movement
Historically, the Communist Party has played a leading role in the labor movement. This is because Communist goals will always align with the interests of the workers. These goals will always represent the progressive and radical needs of all working-class people. The Communist Party USA continues to struggle for less exploitative working conditions, while fighting to transform the system of production that oppresses us.
Justine Medina, an organizer with the Amazon Labor Union and Co-chair of the Young Communist League, emphasized that throughout the struggle of the ALU it was individuals from varying fronts, including the CPUSA and YCL, that made it possible for the ALU to win. We were a part of this popular front of organizations who phone-banked for the ALU and contributed to their historic win. As Medina said, the Party continues to be an essential part of the worker struggle toward liberation:
The Communist Party has been an integral part of the labor movement from the very beginning. The Communist Party for the last 100 years has been intimately tied within the labor movement and we saw that with ALU too. ALU was a popular front, it had people from all ideologies, backgrounds, nationalities, races, all represented. That includes the Communist Party, we were there, we're gonna be there, we're going to be doing what we can to help support the workers and building up the labor movement of this country again and supporting the worker revolution.
The CPUSA will continue to fight alongside workers, supporting the struggle toward liberation until the battle against capitalism is won. The collective efforts of the Communist Party, the ALU, and all radical groups has shown that working-class movements will remain a threat to the order of the capitalist class. As C. E. Ruthenberg wrote in 1923: "May Day — the day which inspires fear in the hearts of the capitalists and hope in the workers — the workers the world over — will find the Communist movement this year stronger in the U.S. than at any time in its history. . . . The road is clear for greater achievements, and in the United States as elsewhere in the world the future belongs to Communism."
In a Weekly Worker of a generation before, Eugene V. Debs wrote in a May Day edition of the paper, published on April 27, 1907: "This is the first and only International Labor Day. It belongs to the working class and is dedicated to the Revolution."

Mudslides, cold, flooding. The barrage of extreme weather feels relentless.
Another arctic blast is bringing subzero temperatures to the Midwest, pushing the mercury below freezing as far south as Florida.
Detroit public schools will be closed Friday because of extreme cold, the school system said.
The National Weather Service warned that in the Detroit area, wind chills are forecast to be between 10 and 25 degrees below zero.
Forecasters say Detroit is the hardest-hit this season, with more than 78 inches of snow and 13 days of temperatures below zero.
New York, Philadelphia and Chicago also rank high on the misery list for record snowfall and freezing temps.
"We've been able to look at this winter and compare it to the record since 1950, and putting this winter in context, it really has been as severe as people think it is," said Barbara Mayes Boustead, a meteorologist for the National Weather Service.
"This really has been the worst winter in a lot of people's lifetimes. We haven't seen winters like this since the 70s in a lot of places."
News of more extreme weather got a cold response.
"Where the hell is that stupid groundhog? I'm going to wring its scrawny little neck," said Christopher Klipstine of Hobbs, New Mexico.
Famed groundhog weather prognosticator Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow earlier this month, predicting six more weeks of winter.
Rain brings relief, and mudslides
Thousands of miles away from Detroit, some areas in Southern California are evacuating because of the potential for flash floods Friday and Saturday in Los Angeles County.
Authorities are warning that torrential rain will finally put a dent in the state's severe drought - its worst in 100 years - but at a price.
Currently, California is "abnormally dry," the U.S. Department of Agriculture said last week.
Though rain will bring much-needed relief, mudslides are a big concern, with 6 inches of rain forecast for some areas.
"A very strong and dynamic storm will bring a significant amount of rain to much of southwestern California," the National Weather Service said.
"A flash flood watch has been issued for several recent burn areas in Los Angeles County due to the abundant rainfall expected," the weather service said. "There will be isolated thunderstorms ... rain rates at times are expected to range from a half to 1 inch per hour, which could cause significant mud and debris flows."
A flash flood watch remains in effect until Saturday evening for Colby, Madison and Madre burn areas in Los Angeles County.
Most of those areas are at risk because recent wildfires have razed vegetation and left hillsides bare.
Affected areas under mandatory evacuation orders include Azusa and Glendora, which have the highest risk of flooding due to loss of vegetation.

The National Assembly for Wales election take places on 5 May 2016. We have taken the opportunity to ask the leaders of the four main political parties in Wales about their play memories and if elected, what their party will do to ensure that Wales continues to lead the way for children's play.
'I know first hand just how important play is. Getting down on the floor and playing with your children is one of the great joys of life. Not only is it fun, it's hugely important for a child's happiness, well-being and development.
You really can't overestimate the importance of play and I'm proud of what we've achieved in recent years. We're making a real difference. Our Play Duty, for example, is increasing play opportunities for children and reinforcing the importance of play in children's life.
I'm also happy with the Playing Field Measure, which ensures that before a local authority sells off a playing field they have to consult with the local community. Very important.
'Growing up on a farm provided ample opportunity for fun and play, mostly revolving around the great outdoors. From riding bikes to climbing trees, the outdoors played a hugely important part of my childhood. While the actions of my brothers and I may have given my parents the occasional panic attack, the fun and freedom of the outdoors is unrivalled and provided memories which I still cherish to this day.
'I grew up in a close community in Penygraig in the Rhondda. As children we had many choices of open, public land where we could play. I have many fond memories of playing up the mountain with my friends. We could be up the mountain in just a few minutes' walk from our house. The mountain was freedom. We could do anything up there. We would climb trees, play hide and seek, build dens, pick wimberries, slide on trays and just generally have a good laugh. None of us wore a watch and only knew it was time to go home when it started to turn dark or when our bellies started rumbling. I'd often turn up at home with torn clothes, covered in dirt and on more than one occasion a fractured wrist!
Plaid Cymru supports the way in which children's play has been incorporated into the Foundation Phase as a tool to aid learning of our youngest. Studies have shown that investing in a good quality education in the early years pays dividends later down the line in the academic career.
'I remember fondly playing on a rough patch of ground near our house with my brother and sister. There was a great big tree and a swing in it and we'd spend hours and hours having fun there.
I was pleased to join other Welsh Liberal Democrat AMs in supporting the Children and Families Measure which made great progress in the area of children's play.
However, I think the time has come for Wales to be much more radical in the way that it approaches this issue. I have seen with great interest the impact of the Playing Out scheme, which first started in Bristol but has since spread across England and to Scotland. The scheme encourages local authorities to allow temporary closures of residential roads to provide a safe space for children to play outside.
The Welsh Lib Dems is currently considering how it can empower local communities and help councils put this excellent idea into practice. Of course, too often the barriers to accessing play stem from wider problems. Transport poverty, particularly prevalent in rural areas, is a significant barrier for children and young people from low-income families. The Welsh Lib Dems has a clear plan to improve public transport by creating new Passenger Transport Authorities, improving coverage in rural and poorer areas while widening access for young people in particular to travel to play opportunities.


Let's forget about how philosophers's stone is made for a moment and let us think about how it operates.
If we want to transmute Lead into Gold then we are talking about fission but if we want to transmute Silver into Gold then we are talking about fusion. How can a Stone perform contrary operations?
The easiest operation would be to transmute mercury into gold because all that is needed is to expell alpha particles from mercury. There are some amusing theories on how to accomplish this.
One way is to squeeze mercury between 2 repelling magnets and measure the expulsion of alpha particles out of mercury with a a geiger counter.
Interesting, but why must we speak of fission and fusion when dealing with one matter of metal? Whether it is silver or lead and we wish to make either of these metals into gold, why do we assume that one gives and the other takes? In fission, do we lose material?
Should one gram of silver not give us one gram of gold by the stones operation? And likewise with lead, should one gram of lead not give us one gram of gold?
The stone would act in a way as a conduit of my WILL; for if I thought to make such a transmutation, then gram for gram, it would be done.
The elements making up the metals would retain their quantity, however, their density would necessarily undergo a change.
Likewise, we might expect the volume of these metals to change as well.
So I have issue with the context of the orthodox words here used.
Why? Because Hermetic Philosophy teaches that all metals are one and the same in differing stages of maturation.
I don't see any contrary operations in the stone. Your perspective may be contrary, but the operation of the stone? Well, I'm not so certain of this.
These words Fission and Fusion puts one in a box imho. I prefer to think in terms of expansion and contraction. Like this we can dispel with the uncertainty of these modern words.
I take a piece of string with a weight attached and I whirl it above my head in a circular orbit. The weight exhibits a centrifugal force outwards seeking to fly away. At the same time, a centrepital force is exerted at that end of the string attached to my finger.
Here we have our expansion and contraction existing in harmony and there is no augmentation or diminution of parts. Simplicity!
So the question would become, how does the operation of the stone affect this harmony or equilibrium in matter/metal, so as to effect a change?
Yet another interesting notion! Must we first "freeze" the mercury before we can squeeze it? And if we did, we'd have a piece of metal between two opposing magnetic poles.
What generally occurs in this instance? Do the field particles of the magnets not pass out into the frozen mercury? At that instance, is there not a displacement ,(contraction), of particles within the mercury caused by the push of field particles from both ends now occupying space within the mercury that was previously filled? Would not the opposite reaction be that the displaced particles of the mercury, take up space in a generated field around the mercury?
This movement of field particles is what is picked up by the Geiger counter.
But field particles, whatever name you assign to them, form closed loops.
We see this with our iron fillings. And so I wouldn't expect to see any transmutation here. I could be wrong, but this is highly unlikely!
Interesting perspective but again how the stone will know when it needs to expand or when to contract? How about projecting the stone on Tin/Silver/Lead alloy? Will the whole mass be transmuted?
Mercury is in liquid state in this experiment and there is a special iron container for this purpose but you can use other methods as well.
Interesting perspective but again how the stone will know when it needs to expand or when to contract?
How about projecting the stone on Tin/Silver/Lead alloy? Will the whole mass be transmuted?
Here you have a mixture of metallic mass. Each requiring a certain amount of energy to "sensitize" its parts. Now what I mean by sensitize is perhaps a difficult thing to grasp.
All matter is triune in nature possessing a molecular, atomic, and etheric construct.
Each of these zones has the ability to vibrate to a certain degree, ie. the lesser zone dishes its energy to the next higher zone until the three zones are at maximum vibration. The matter is now said to be sensitized.
Why? Well it's obvious that if more energy were imparted to the mass, then we would begin to see physical changes in its dimensions. These phenomena would seem strange as we lack orthodox information along these lines. We enter the twilight zone.
In any case, given the power or level of exaltation of our stone, we would expect the transmutation to occur throughout. Of this metallic tree of three metals, the lower hanging fruit is most easily picked and so one would expect the least matured metal to accept more of the tinging energy/vibration before it resonates onwards up the "tree".
I'm sure that you can attempt to manipulate matter with fields of all types. But there is a certain trick in all of this.
First, as I've mentioned, the matter must be sensitized which is akin to the alchemic "transmutation can only occur while metals are fused or in a state of flux" principle.
Then you would need a particular knowledge by where the major or minor occult forces can be made predominant or less so ; A governor so to speak.
The occultists did this with sound. The acoustic theory of vibrations is where your discovery lies. Understanding how to manipulate the mass chord of anything that occupies space is what you wish to accomplish.
The 3rds actively affect the shell of matter or its molecular parts. The 6ths affect the atomic parts and subdivide into musical major and minor sections controlled by exact pitch. Here is where you "majorize or minorize" your subject matter. The atomic realm is akin to the spirit realm of the alchemists. This is why Tesla built his coil, to give control to the vibrations that are well beyond the norm. These vibrations can do some harm as well as good, but the practitioner must be well versed. Why?
Because in accessing the atomic, we are at the doorstep of the etheric or soul of matter. If the soul of matter is freed without control, then you have Hiroshima or something along those lines.
Knowledge is a double-edged sword my friend. To possess profound knowledge should require wisdom, otherwise we're doomed to an early resetting of the clock as a species.
Simply running currents through metals, liquid or solid won't net you anything unless by fluke which is what occurs in most cases where experimenters work along these lines.
Kinda like John Huchinson playing with old navy radio equipment and making objects levitate without any theory NOR any control.
Still, these ideas are interesting. Everything begins with an idea!
I have advanced a little further from just an idea as i will slowly but surely demonstrate.
Unfortunately the Forbes link wasn't working but the Seimen patent was a nice read. What first caught my attention was the date.
Then I saw that they were attempting to use the disruptive discharges through transformers and the light bulb went off.
I was pessimistic and I'm still pessimistic but thoroughly tickled.
As I went through the patent, reference was finally made of Tesla.
"It has now been found that the amount of gold obtainable in this way are considerably increased if the discontinuous discharge takes place at a high frequency. For the current direct or alternating currents may be used. The frequency can be produced with or without special oscillation circuits or directly by high frequency machines. Such currents as those of Tesla."
While reading the patents it became apparent that this method lacked lustre and that the art involved was not well tuned as the amendments made this quite clear. And although I know for certain that these methods produce results, I'm not entirely sold on the idea. It's not clear to me if mercury is actually converted or if gold is found in the mercuric gas after electrical separation.
To toy with these high frequency vibrations requires a profound understanding. Siemens was certainly attempting to lock down a method to obtain gold having become aware that gold was found in some of the Nikola Tesla spark gap contrivances.
I have copied the Forbes article since it is of newer date and it confirms some of the findings in the Siemens patents.
Now we could make few conclusions. In both cases mercury was partially transmuted by being exposed to electro-magnetic fields and also of notice is that mercury was in the 4th state of matter when that happened: plasma.
Now this is getting interesting. Why would Vittorio Volpato improve a process and spend additional time and money to patent it again?
To finish off with the iron to gold series of patents we should examine Marie Roux's method. It is like Chemical Garden in a Dry Way.
For those interested in further improving Bloxam/Volpato method i would suggest to compare it very closely with Marie Roux's method.
The last step in Bloxam/Volpato patents is to add fine sand (which is silica) to the magnetized iron chloride mixture and then heat it for several hours until it metallizes into Gold.
Marie Roux's process starts right away with mixing iron with silica (which is the same thing as sand!) and then heating it on high temperature for about 15 minutes but by passing electric current through the iron/silica matrix! It appears that Gold is born at this final step in all 3 patents!
How about we improve this process even further?
We start by first magnetizing iron for couple of days as Vittorio Volpato states: "to impress a centripetal velocity on the electrons of their molecules." Next we add diluted hydrochloric acid to the magnetized iron that it is still under magnetic centripetal velocity (magnet could be attached below the vessel containing iron+acid mixture or sandwiched between two repelling magnets). Here we could follow prolonged Volpato's acid baths in the manner he improved them.
Finally we mix very fine sand/silica to our magnetized iron+acid mixture and follow from here on Marie Roux's process by passing an electric current through our crucible during our melting process.
The method appears easy enough to follow. And I lend merit to this line of working.
I especially liked that Volpato acknowledged that all matter is composed of the same stuff...electrons! Sounds a lot like what John Keely said, only being ahead of his peers, he called electrons atomoles.
His reasoning also resembles the cosmogony of Walter Russell who I noticed you are cognizant of.
The sand/iron powder ratio must be the key to be worked out. The results are irrefutable though...even if you need a magnifying glass to see the veins and crystallization.
I can see a few different ways to experiment along these lines.
Have you ever heard of a coherer? Also a Tesla Coil of a suitable diameter within which to sit the containing vessel would be a great tool to produce high magnetic pressures.
An important detail is that sodium and oxygen were mixed in a 4th state of matter: plasma which is neutral.
There is a good chance that i have discovered a direct method for Gold production but if it truly works then i am really afraid to publish it openly. According to ICP-MS machines it works 100% but the question is are ICP-MS machines 100% reliable?

As a kid and very amateur paleontologist, I understood there were two types of dinosaurs: meat-eating dinosaurs and boring dinosaurs. You can bet every time I bite into a steak I think, "Yep, just like an apex predator Tyrannosaurus would." However, I'm married to a boring dinosaur. That can't possibly be misinterpreted. Julia claims she isn't a vegetarian, but I have two eyeballs and her lies look a lot like plants for every meal.
Normally this doesn't cause conflict but with Julia busy learning the ropes at her new job at thefacebook.com, I've had the opportunity to "Lean In" to the kitchen instead of just "peeking in" and asking when dinner is ready. Unfortunately, since Julia's dinner is usually my dinner's dinner I had to find some common ground. So I went to the only person I knew I could trust: a supermodel who I stalk on the internet.
3. A supermodel-looking person who cooks awesome meals and blogs about it.
For Julia, supermodel + blog + food = credibility. Also, is it weird that I read a swimsuit model's blog for the FOOD PICTURES? These are recipes that look so good, I have to constantly check over my shoulder because I feel wrong. But sometimes wrong is delicious and in this case I found the recipe that is the perfect compromise between my eating habits and Julia's: Chrissy's scallops.
Not only do the scallops taste like a pescetarian's taste buds went to heaven and forgot to be boring, but Chrissy's post is one of the funniest things I've read in months. As I began to read the recipe, I was prepared for a basic set of instructions, but I was totally unprepared to go on a brief journey of feelings from hunger, to sadness, to empathy, to humor, to shame for laughing at sadness, back to hunger, and, finally, to satisfaction and pride.
Oh Jesus, she also has a bulldog.
These scallops are the perfect dish to satisfy both the boring dinosaur and the biggest, baddest, warrior Tyrannosaur on the block. The best part is that if you can follow some simple, profanity-laced instructions, then they're really low risk while still sounding impressive. I think Julia is really proud of me, so it's safe to assume that Chrissy's blog will be my go-to cookbook when I want to eat like a swimsuit model.
I just recently started loving scallops. Had the best scallops dish of my life at a restaurant called Bistro 29 in Santa Rosa. Seriously, her Smooshy is ah-dorable!
I will take the scallops and your pup! Love these man's pov posts!

Tim Sudeith created Everlast Climbing in 1991 when he began making indoor rock climbing walls and climbing hand holds in Chicago, Illinois. Six years later in 1997, the company relocated to St. Paul, Minnesota.2 Later the company headquarters moved outside St. Paul to Mendota Heights, Minnesota.
In 2006, Everlast Climbing developed WeeKIDZ, an early childhood climbing wall which includes a Red-Relief Line safety feature and a magnetized surface educational feature.3 The "tendon friendly" grasps are color coded to allow route customization for different difficulty levels. This traverse wall joins their regular traverse walls, top rope climbing walls, freestanding climbing walls, and specialty climbing walls.
NatureRocks, outdoor climbing boulders and nature play pieces, were introduced in 2009, a StartFit line of fitness products was launched in 2010, and the Spectrum Aquatics line of commercial pool equipment was also added in 2010.

Q: Use Xpath to find the appropriate element based on the element value I have the following xml snippet
        <ZMARA01 SEGMENT="1">
            <CHARACTERISTICS_01>X,001,COLOR_ATTRIBUTE_FR,BRUN ÉCORCE,TMBR,French C</CHARACTERISTICS_01>
            <CHARACTERISTICS_02>X,001,COLOR_ATTRIBUTE,Timber Brown,TMBR,Color Attr</CHARACTERISTICS_02>
        </ZMARA01>

I am looking for an xpath expression that will match based on COLOR_ATTRIBUTE.  It will not always be in CHARACTERISTIC_02.  It could be CHARACTERISTIC_XX.  Also I don't want to match COLOR_ATTRIBUTE_FR.  I have been using this:
Transaction.Input_XML{/ZMAT/IDOC/E1MARAM/ZMARA01/*[starts-with(local-name(.), 'CHARACTERISTIC_')][contains(.,'COLOR_ATTRIBUTE')]}

This gets me mostly there but it matches both COLOR_ATTRIBUTE and COLOR_ATTRIBUTE_FR

A: Use:
contains(concat(',', ., ','), ',COLOR_ATTRIBUTE,')

This first surrounds the string value of the context node with commas, then simply tests if the so cunstructed string contains ',COLOR_ATTRIBUTE,'.
Thus we treat all cases (pattern at the start of the string, pattern at the end of the string and pattern neither at the start or at the end) in the same single way.

A: If COLOR_ATTRIBUTE is guaranteed not to be in the first or last position, you could use [contains(.,',COLOR_ATTRIBUTE,')], otherwise you could use something like [contains(.,'COLOR_ATTRIBUTE') and not contains(.,'COLOR_ATTRIBUTE_FR')].

Zoe's Kitchen's Growth Problems in 3 Charts
By Andy Gould Fool.com
For the past several years, Zoe's Kitchen (NYSE: ZOES) has experienced an impressive growth spurt, leading many investors to believe the Mediterranean fast-casual chain was well on its way to becoming a national brand.
And while that may still be the case, 2016 was not a good year for the company, with growth in its key metrics slowing across the board. Using the last five years of data, here's a snapshot of how Zoe's rough year looked in the grander scheme of things.
Image source: Zoe's Kitchen.
Comparable-sales growth is grinding to a halt

While Zoe's comparable-restaurant sales growth has slowed from the stellar 10%-plus rates the company enjoyed throughout 2012, it generally stayed in a very healthy range between 4% and 8% from 2013 until the first half of 2016.
Data source: Zoe's Kitchen 10-Ks. Chart by author.
But starting in the third quarter last year, the company fell victim to the so-called "restaurant recession," with comps growth dropping to its lowest levels since Zoe's became a public company. Comps clocked in at 2.4% in Q3 and just 0.7% in Q4 -- and in both cases, price increases compensated for a decrease in overall traffic, an unsustainable formula.
While falling guest traffic is certainly an industrywide issue right now, the trend for Zoe's comps doesn't look promising. The company is guiding for 1% to 2% comps growth for 2017, which would be a post-Great-Recession low, but it also thinks it can goose those numbers in the second half of the year as it rolls out new menu items and marketing initiatives.
400 stores by 2020 is doable, but only if store growth stops slowing
From a much smaller base than today, Zoe's grew its restaurant count by 36% in 2013. As this store count grows increasingly larger, the pace of expansion has slowed. In 2015, the company grew its number of restaurants by 26%, while in 2016, the company added 38 new stores, good for 23% annual growth.
Any further deceleration would be a threat to Zoe's ambitious plans to reach to the 400-store mark by the end of 2020. With 204 total locations today, Zoe's needs to open an average of 49 stores per year for the next four years to meet its goal. This equates to a compound annual growth rate of 18.3%, which, judging from the chart above, still looks achievable -- but perhaps just barely.
For 2017, the company has stated they plan to open 38 to 40 restaurants. At the midpoint, this would represent around 19% annual growth. But it means the company would then need to open an average of 52 stores a year from 2018 through 2020 to stay on track. Additionally, the company is not able to fund new store growth with cash from operations, with management stating on the conference call that it will be using debt to finance its expansion this year.
Earnings growth is heading in the wrong direction, too
Zoe's has only been profitable for the past two fiscal years, so charting multiyear growth rates for net income isn't possible at the moment. Looking instead at adjustedearnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) shows this measure of top-line earnings slowing dramatically last year. While adjusted EBITDA grew at rates north of 40% in 2014 and 2015, falling restaurant contribution margins and slowing comps growth helped drive adjusted EBITDA growth lower in 2016, to just 12.53%.
EBITDA will likely continue to be pressured into next year, with Zoe's guiding for restaurant contribution margins to fall again in 2017. However, longer-term, as Zoe's newer stores begin to mature, the company says its margins should steadily improve (units more than three years old average 23% margins, vs. Zoe's targets for new stores of 10% to 12% margins). Along with its rising store count, Zoe's believes this one-two punch will help it achieve long-term 20%-plus annual EBITDA growth.
Up until 2016, Zoe's was enjoying the kind of growth that was the envy of the industry. With that momentum slowing substantially last year, the company finds itself with a lot to prove as it continues to march forward with its expansion plans.

Ohtani Tells Japanese Press He Feels 'Down' When Angels Lose
by Associated Press 11/15/2021 11/17/2021

By STEPHEN WADE, Associated Press
TOKYO — Even Shohei Ohtani, arguably the best player in the major leagues, feels down at times, particularly when his team isn't winning.
And that's been the case during each of the four seasons he's been with the Los Angeles Angels, all of which have ended with losing records.
Sharing his mental state was among the few small nuggets Ohtani revealed in an hour-long interview on Monday at the Japan National Press Club.
The Q&A session focused heavily on local matters about being back home, about local food and local baseball personalities, and even questions about when the 27-year-old might start a family.
"I think this is something you cannot force to happen, it just naturally happens," he said, speaking in Japanese through an interpreter. "I think it's still well ahead of me."
Ohtani is under contract for next season at $5.5 million, which will be his highest annual salary thus far. He remains under the Angels' control through 2023 and could become a free agent after that season.
Questions about free agency did not come up in the interview, although he was asked about his taxes in the U.S.
"Los Angeles has high tax rates," he said, indicating he was happy to pay them. "So slightly more than half of what I earn has to be paid in taxes. So I pay my taxes. It's not that I consume a lot. I really don't spend, so it just goes into my savings."
Almost every question began with a congratulatory message, often long ones. He was asked to comment on his memories of the 2011 tsunami, earthquake and meltdown of three nuclear reactors that killed almost 20,000 people in northeastern Japan — his home region.
And he was asked several times about being "down" emotionally and getting through it.
"How do you overcome that?" he was asked.
"Of course I feel down," he said, indicating his emotions toward the of end of the just-completed season.
"Since I joined the major leagues, the team has not been winning and we didn't have much prospect of going beyond the regular season. So in the latter half of the season, psychologically it was more stressful. And of course I feel down occasionally when I can't hit — or when my pitches are hit."
However, Ohtani said that even suffering through a losing season was better than not playing at all, which he experienced in several stretches because of injury.
"So even feeling down included, it was a wonderful year," he said.
Ohtani is a leading candidate for the American League MVP award, which will be announced later this week.
He was asked where he would be when the award winner is revealed.
"I don't know where I will be," he said straightforwardly, which was typical of his responses.

Brazilian President Calls for Respect for Venezuela and Cuba
On Monday, Brazilian President Lula da Silva asked the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States (CELAC) to help solve the problems of Venezuela and Cuba and treat these nations with «much affection.»
Argentine President Fernandez Meets With Lula Da Silva
These statements occurred during a press conference held jointly with Argentine President Alberto Fernandez in Buenos Aires, where the 7th CELAC summit will be start on Tuesday.
"Venezuela's problems will be resolved with dialogue and not with a blockade. We will resolve personal offenses through dialogue and threatening occupation,» the Brazilian President said while referring to the reestablishment of diplomatic relations between Brasilia and Caracas.
"Every time a comrade has to be criticized, I prefer to give advice instead of criticism," Lula said, emphasizing that "Venezuela will once again be treated normally, as all countries want to be treated."

"What I want for Brazil, I want for Venezuela. I respect the sovereignty and self-determination of my people," the Workers' Party leader said, making tacit reference to U.S. interventionism against the Venezuelan government led by President Nicolas Maduro.
Lula also harshly criticized the attempts to destabilize Venezuelan democracy that were carried out by the U.S.-controlled opposition politician Juan Guaido, whose fictitious presidency seized assets from the Venezuelan State.
The Washington-backed harassment against the Bolivarian revolution was also felt the day before the start of the CELAC meeting.
On Monday, the Venezuelan Foreign Affairs Ministry announced that President Maduro will not be able to attend the Buenos Aires Summit due to a far-right plan to attack his country delegation.
«They intend to put on a 'deplorable' show in order to disrupt the positive effects of this important regional event and contribute to the already unsuccessful smear campaign that the U.S. Empire has launched against our country,» the Venezuelan diplomacy said in a statement.

"Now this is a story all about how…"
From: The Fresh Prince of Bel Air
Genre: Television
Who said it?: Will Smith
The story behind the quote: The quote comes from the 90's sitcom, The Fresh Prince of Bel Air. The show starred Will Smith. Yes, the same Will Smith you see in a lot of blockbuster movies like The Pursuit of Happyness, Men in Black, Bad Boys and many more. But before he was a Hollywood superstar, Will Smith was part of the rap duo, DJ Jazzy Jeff and The Fresh Prince (which is where part of the name of the show came from). Will Smith was approached by Quincy Jones to star in the sitcom, which became a smash hit and started Will Smith's ride to stardom.
The show became popular to no small part of the show's extremely catchy theme song. In fact, if you mention the quote, which is the first line of The Fresh Prince of Bel Air's theme song, there's a good chance that people will instinctively start rapping the entire thing from memory.
Geek wisdom: You can be millionaire that managed to claw their way out of poverty. Or a political official that managed to climb up from an impoverished neighborhood. These may seem like success stories but it will be all for nothing if you forget where you came from. Always remember your roots and where you came from.

"Whatcha talkin' 'bout, Willis?"
From: Diff'rent Strokes
Who said it?: Arnold Jackson
The story behind the quote: The quote comes from Diff'rent Strokes. The show was a very successful sitcom that ran from 1978 to 1986. In the show, businessman Mr. Drummond takes in two African American kids from Harlem, Willis and Arnold and adopts them. The show follows a classic "fish out of water" scenario wherein Willis (played by Todd Bridges) and Arnold (played by Gary Coleman) as they try to adjust to living in luxury as well as trying to fit in with high society.
The quote is actually the catchphrase of Arnold as he says it multiple times in the show. He doesn't necessarily always question Willis and he does substitute different people at times. But since he usually questions his older brother, the quote is usually mentioned as such.
Geek wisdom: Sometimes, you just need to get some clarity on a situation. There are times when we say that we understand something even though we really don't. Whether it be because we don't like to ask questions or we don't like to look stupid, it doesn't, and it shouldn't matter. Clarify and ask questions while it's still early.

"Who loves orange soda?"
From: Kenan and Kel
Who said it?: Kenan Thompson and Kel Kimble
The story behind the quote: This week's quote comes from Kenan and Kel, a live action sitcom on Nickelodeon that came out during the mid-90s. The show focuses on two teenage boys. Kenan Rockmore (played by Kenan Thompson) is a generally good-natured kid but dreams of getting rich quick. His best friend, Kel Kimble (played by Kel Mitchell) is energetic but rather dim-witted. Each episode has Kenan trying to cook up some get rich scheme with the assistance of Kel but they manage to bungle it up at the end.
The quote is actually one of the catchphrases of the show. Essentially, Kel really enjoys the fizzy, artificially flavored citrus drink and is not ashamed to let everyone know about it.
Geek wisdom: Life can be extremely tough nowadays, with problems popping up here and there. So, sometimes, it would be a great idea to escape the pressure of everyday life and just enjoy the better things life has to offer. There's nothing wrong with indulging the some of the comforts in life.

"It's after six. What am I? A farmer?"
From: 30 Rock
Who said it?: Jack Donaghy
The story behind the quote: This week's quote comes from the critically acclaimed sitcom 30 Rock. The show is about a fictional sketch show originally called "The Girlie Show," which is produced by Liz Lemon (played by show creator Tina Fey). However, under the behest of network executive Jack Donaghy, the show is retooled so that top comedian Tracy Jordan (played by Tracey Morgan) would topbill the show. The show is mostly a spoof about the backstage happenings and insanity of producing a show.
The quote comes from the seventh episode of the first season of 30 Rock. Jack Donaghy is all dressed in a tuxedo and Liz assumes he is going to a big gala. However, it turns out the event is nowhere near happening. Liz then irritatedly asks why he's wearing a tux, which is when Jack delivers the quote.
Geek wisdom: Everyone has things that make them feel good. We all have certain rituals that makes sense in out heads, even though it may seem absurd to others. We can't really judge them because we all have these little quirks. We have to accept all of these little idiosyncrasies as these are all part of what makes us who we are.

"I've made a huge mistake."
From: Arrested Development
Who said it?: Most of the Bluth Family Members but mostly "Gob"
The story behind the quote: Arrested Development is a sitcom that focuses around the Bluths, a family of rather deviant people. While the sitcom was acclaimed by critics and did get a huge cult following, the show was ultimately cancelled after only three seasons. The show's fanbase did prove large enough to warrant Netflix to develop a fourth season roughly seven years after the show's cancellation. The show is known for a lot of Easter Eggs as well as recurring gags like this week's quote.
The quote is actually exclaimed by the majority of the Bluth family, however, it's Gob Bluth that says it the most often. It's usually uttered after one of the characters does something he/she thinks is the right thing to do only to realize a few moments later that it was actually a bonehead move.
Geek wisdom: Everyone makes mistakes and it's okay to make them most of the time. Mistakes are actually one of the best tools we have to learn new things. However, it's a huge mistake to keep on making the same errors over and over again, repeating them ad nauseam.

Did you know? Snoring may up cardiac risk in women
Updated Nov 29, 2018 | 20:09 IST | IANS
The study found that OSA causes an increased risk for left ventricular and, more rarely, right ventricular dysfunction in the heart, causing cardiac risks.
Snoring may up cardiac risk in women | &nbspPhoto Credit:&nbspThinkstock
London: Women who suffer from obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) as well as snoring may be at a greater risk of impairment of cardiac function than men, says a new research. Snoring may be a sign of OSA, which is a serious sleep disorder in which breathing repeatedly stops and starts.
While there are several symptoms of OSA including gasping for air during sleep, waking with a dry mouth, morning headache and irritability, loud snoring is a common sign. The study found that OSA causes an increased risk for left ventricular and, more rarely, right ventricular dysfunction in the heart, causing cardiac risks.
It showed an increase in left ventricular mass, meaning that the walls of the heart's main pumping chamber are enlarged, making the heart work harder. "We found that the cardiac parameters in women appear to be more easily affected by the disease and that women who snore or have OSA might be at greater risk for cardiac involvement," said lead author Adrian Curta, from the Munich University Hospital in Germany.
For the study, the researchers analysed 4,877 patients who had received a cardiac MRI. The findings, presented at the 104th Scientific Assembly and Annual Meeting of the Radiological Society of North America, showed that the cardiac changes in the self-reported snorers indicate earlier impairment and might be an indication of undiagnosed OSA.
Moreover, compared to the unaffected group, in the snoring group a significant difference was observed in the left ventricular mass in women than in men. In addition, OSA was found vastly underdiagnosed among snorers.
"The prevalence of diagnosed OSA in the study group was extremely low. Together with the alterations in cardiac function in the snoring group, it leads us to believe that OSA may be grossly underdiagnosed," Curta said. People who snore should get screened for OSA and those with OSA should be properly treated, Curta suggested.
Treatment is dependent on the cause of an individual's OSA. For instance, weight loss can often improve OSA in overweight individuals.

Football: Valuable Etiquette tips for the game
Football fans all over the world have mostly same tradition of the game watching, it includes much fun with lots of beer, food, talks. So, what about you? Maybe you prefer to stay at home watching the match, making predictions with Flashlivescore? Or if you go somewhere, what is the best way to get along with people supporting the opposite squad? Do you usually bring something with you to the parties? Do you have to be careful with the topics of your conversations with the other companies? Let's look through the tips which an International etiquette expert, one of the authors, of Protocol & Etiquette Worldwide, has kindly shared with us:
Never Come Empty-Handed: You may ask the host in advance if there's anything special she may need. Also, don't forget to bring a special gift for the hostess.
Arrive Dead on Time: Time is money! Come 10-15 minutes after the beginning of the party and leave it 20-30 minutes before the party finishes. The worst thing is to the dawdler who's last to leave.
Behave Courteously: If you suddenly became upset by something, don't try to show it to the people around you. Compose yourself and continue entertaining. It's not the right place to be a Debbie Downer.
Don't Get Out of Line at the Cafeteria: Mind that overloading the plate is pre-condemned. And if you touched something on the buffet, take it straight to your plate, and do not double-touch it.
Don't Take Liberties with Drinks: You might probably know that it is not desirable to drink on an empty stomach. Take a slow pace with your alcohol cocktails or beer. And when the bartender says that the alcohol is finished, do respect it and take some water or juice.
Main Talks Topic is Sports: We all know why we have gathered at that place – football game of the favourite team. Football is the issue. So don't be off-topic. Speak about the squad, the coachwork, free betting predictions, previous games reviews, etc. But please nopolitics and religion, business issues.
Be Grateful: Send a handwritten note within the 24-48 hours. The host will certainly enjoy you finding the time to appreciate her or him.

German Bundesliga Standings
Wednesday, March 23rd, 2011
This season, events in the German Bundesliga are developing very rapidly. The leaders are quickly rotating, and as a result the championship is becoming even more interesting for millions of fans from all over the world.
For the past 6 years, Bayern from Munich was the champion of Germany, but this season it will be extremely difficult for Niko Kovac's squad to defend its title. First, the team's progress has stopped. The top players are leaving its lineup, and those who stayed become more mature, therefore they no longer show the game for which the fans loved them before.
But the most important thing is the progress of competitors; first of all, Borussia. This summer, Dortmund team changed their coach, too, which played into their hands. It is proved by the results not only in the domestic, but also in the international arena.
The factors that helped Borussia to reach a brand new level include:
Appointment of an experienced coach. Lucien Favre was known before thanks to his work with minor teams. Borussia is a club that fully corresponds to his ambitions.
Successful transfer campaign of the Bumblebees. Despite the loss of a number of leaders (Castro albania vs liechtenstein, Yarmolenko, Schurrle), the team was able to make successful signing, too. First of all, it is Witsel and Alcacer. The latter is already scoring for the new team, so that at a certain stage the club even managed to lead the standings.
Instability of competitors led by Bayern. Other Bundesliga clubs can mix successful series with failures, which is why it is especially difficult to predict the development of events in the German championship.
You can always learn bundesliga standings at the website of sports statistics.
Borussia Chances Of Winning The Title
Now, Favre's players show bright and attacking soccer, which attracts millions of fans. However, it is a big question whether it will be possible to show such a game over a long tournament distance. The fans are also worried by the fact that the team's bench is not deep enough, so if things are not in favor of the Bumblebees, then it will be quite difficult for them to turn events around.
The starting period has already passed, so it's absolutely impossible to stop at what has been achieved by now, especially since the fans of Borussia missed trophies. Now, the team has a great opportunity to use Bayern's misfires to finally earn the Andlsquo;Metallic Salad BowlAndrsquo;.
Is Cristiano Ronaldo leaving Real Madrid, what has gone sour and where could he appear at?
Something tells us it is getting even clearer that Cristiano Ronaldo does not look so happy as a part of the royal club. In June a popular sports magazine, A Bola, published a truly shocking story telling that the soccer legend did not really want to go back to Real Madrid to be getting ready for the start of the new season. Obviously, Ronaldo is nurturing the idea of leaving the ranks of Real Madrid pretty soon. News about sport – Flashlivescore.ORG
RONALDO MAY SUBSTITUTE NEYMAR AT PSG?
And Madrid itself appears to be leaking even more than Zidane's defense as for the moment. Thus, at one of the weekends Cadena Ser radio in the city of Madrid affirmed Florentino Perez might be plotting an attempt to send Cristiano to Paris Saint-Germain plus a solid cash deal for the newly signed Neymar. And, in this way, Real Madrid's management is clearly interested in acquiring the Brazilian player, with Neymar's future at PSG remaining shrouded in uncertainty.
Concerning Paris Saint-Germain, it might be looking his way, still only if Neymar decides to do the dirty on his current club and will start angling for a quickie exit after just one year with the team. In case if not, then why would the French swap their aspiring 25-year-old for an aging 32-year-old?
Ronaldo's reasoning for a new contract centers mainly on the fact that if he won the Balon d'Or last December, then he has literally every right to be considered the best player on the planet and needs to be paid accordingly. Instead, Cristiano keeps lagging behind Leo Messi and Neymar.
WILL MANCHESTER UNITED GET THEIR FOSTER STUDENT BACK?
It was previously put down to anger at the press investigation that still goes on which tells it will cost Ronaldo quite a fortune if he ever happens on the losing side. Thus, despite the footballer's apparent availability Man United did not flinch very much at the time. And PSG still looks like being his only option currently available, however when they used to spend more than £200m on Neymar, Cristiano basically had no other choice but to stay put.
So, will United get him this summer? If yes, it would make a pretty emotional return after many years and Ronaldo definitely has every chance to fill the role of Zlatan Ibrahimovic. At the same point, beyond the original hype of shirt sales can it turn out to be a long-term successful deal? If the club's management is alright paying Alexis Sanchez £350,000 each week, is there even the money left to give Ronaldo more than he would make if he stayed with Real Madrid?
THE LONG ROAD TO CHINA?
Well, in case if all the other roads out of town are somehow blocked, then there may always be a plan B – China. If you plan on visiting Chine look for luxurious yet affordable China tour packages. Regarding his financial desires and needs, those would definitely be met, yet his being thirsty for more and more trophies to get in his career would not. So, Cristiano Ronaldo certainly reviews the possibility to leave, http://flashlivescore-es.com/soccer/iran that is clear enough – but where , to and whenmost importantly, in what way he will do that, is less certain.

XSLT 2.0 finally made it as a W3C Recommendation today.
Version 2.0 adds a slew of new features including better grouping facilities, improved string handling, date time functionality, multiple result documents and the ability to consume non-XML source documents.
The next piece of good news would be for Microsoft to announce its support for the standard. Currently, as far as I know, the only .NET option if you wish to use version 2.0 is Michael Kay's Saxon.
Congratulations to Dr. Kay, editor of the specification, and to everyone else who contributed to this mammoth task.
For those of you who can get to Reading on 3rd February there is a great Developer Day going on. I have been to a number of Developer Days in the past, although this one is different in that it concentrates on web design and development, and they have all been fantastic. The speakers, who are all volunteers, are first rate and the topics are listed here.
One of the event organisers, Phil Winstanley, is a fellow MVP.
Unfortunately I'm unable to go to this one but if any one reading this does go please let me know what you thought.
I saw the new Bond file, Casino Royale, just before Christmas.
I thought that it was the best Bond ever and that Daniel Craig is even better than Sean Connery.
What I really liked was that it was almost identical to the original book, updated of course, the original card game battle was Baccarat not Texas Hold 'Em and Le Chiffre had originally swindled a French Communist union which needed a more modern scenario. In keeping with the books though Bond is a human being, not a super-hero, and shows a number of flaws. They even got the way to make a Vesper correct (allowing for a small brand change).
It was also one of the most violent Bond films, I can't believe that it's a 12A in England. (That's twelve years old or accompagnied by an adult if under twelve.) People are immune to shootings etc. but the torture scene was very realistic, you could feel all the men in the audience wince.
Without spoiling it one of my favourite scenes was when Bond asks for one of his famous Martinis after a bad session at the table, you'll have to watch the film for that one.
Another good thing was that I watched it at one of my local Cinemas, The Picturehouse in Exeter.
We have three cinemas in walking distance from us with about 15 screens altogether but amazingly they often all show the same film. The Picturehouse is really nice. Very comfortable and it has a bar. Because you get a pre-alloacted seat when you book it's easy to get there a little early and have a drink beforehand, not possible with the local Odeon as with no seat numbering I have to queue for at least thirty minutes to make sure I get a seat that can cope with my elongated frame - Odeon managers please take note!
Now that they have exhausted all the Bond books I wonder what the next Daniel Craig Bond will be called? Some have hinted that it will be based on Risico, a short story, but that won't have the same impact for me as seeing one of the books come to life. I suppose it's better than a remake though.
I'd seen other people get caught in the five things tagging meme. Now bloggers are getting desperate so I've been hit. For those of you unfamiliar with it you need to write five facts about yourself and ask five others to do the same on their sites.
I got tagged by Nicholas C. Zakas so I'm not going to break the chain.
I have played Bridge for England.
I was born in Grimsby, Lincolnshire, now South Humberside.
I enjoy eating alone in restaurants.
I enjoy going to the ballet.
My brother Stephen is a parish priest.
Of course like all pyramid schemes the tagging meme will dry up eventually but for once it's fun and there's no underhand motivation.

Housing apparently will be a focus, but this, plus Mnuchin's expressed support for the CFPB, suggest that these actions aren't geared toward re-establishing access to mortgages for low tier buyers. I think that access is central to our ability to extend the recovery and to continue healing labor markets. I think this is a bearish development.
I'm not sure how much this matters, in and of itself. Implied yields on home ownership are much higher than yields on mortgages. Affordability is not the problem right now. Access is. I don't think millions of lower-middle class households are turning down mortgages because the rates are too high.
Notice the difference in reactions to this versus private markets. This is no different than subprime mortgages that have higher rates in exchange for riskier terms. Notice how you react to the FHA raising fees versus a private mortgage originator raising fees. Notice the difference in broad rhetorical reactions to these two similar events.
The mortgage insurance reversal seems a little peevish, but hardly a major policy change.
So far, Trump has said little about housing, and even less about property zoning, and one could posit, "Well, zoning is a local issue."
What I find interesting about Trump is he is turning his back on decades of establishment orthodoxy that labor markets should be loosened by policy.
Open borders, and offshoring factories for example.
Trump has not yet discussed monetary policy, or the fact the Fed explicitly targets a goal of keeping unemployed one out of every 20 Americans who want work.
Sadly, we have a generation of orthodox macroeconomists who frame monetary policy in the "employment vs inflation" argument, and never mention property zoning.
It will be interesting to see if Trump can bring about tighter labor markets, or will be foiled by the Fed and monetary offset, or if Trump is all hot air, and the borders will remain open both for trade and labor.
Maybe Trump will read you book and devise federal plans to loosen up property zoning to hold down inflation, and not labor markets.


Where fashion meets function in this stylish adaptive clothes top. The tiny hummingbird makes a big impact on this open-back top. With its soft, comfortable styling and charming print it will quickly become a summertime favourite. V-neck and short sleeves length. Full back overlap with snaps at shoulders. Back snap tops and snap back dressing solutions make dressing a breeze for both the individual being dressed and the caregiver assisting in the dressing.
This top completely opens up, allowing the individuals arms to be slid into the garment sleeves without ever having to raise/lower their arms or struggle with small neck openings. The back overlap is then folded over and domed/snapped into place. This adaptive top is terrific for elderly / seniors/ disabled adults who suffer from arthritis or are disabled or wheelchair dependent. Machine washable polyester. A great choice for disabled adults, nursing homes, homecare or hospitals. If you know someone who requires adaptive clothing or handicap clothing this adaptive top makes a great gift choice. This item is usually offered in a full figure plus size range.
Machine wash & tumble dry. Quality machine washable 100% Polyester and Wrinkle resistant. No ironing required.
Yes, it works if with help. we suggest size large.
A+ for quality, pricing and quick delivery!
Not my first purchase and definitely not my last. The quality is superb, pricing is the best I've found and my purchases always arrive within a week. So thankful for Silverts!
Very good for the nursing home nurses when they are dressing my mother-in-law.


Food insecurity (all ages and children under 18) refers to the USDA's measure of lack of access, at times, to enough food for an active, healthy life for all household members and limited or uncertain availability of nutritionally adequate foods. Food insecurity may also reflect a household need to make trade-offs between important basic needs, such as housing or medical bills, and purchasing nutritionally adequate foods. Food insecure households are not necessarily food insecure all the time.
