We’ve reached the point in the Islanders’ season when only the diehard fans are paying attention to the day-to-day activities. And, hey, if you’re one of them, we salute you. After all, you’re the ones who help us pay the bills around here.
While the playoff race is over for the Islanders — at least according to The Athletic’s latest odds, which give them a 0 percent chance of making it — that doesn’t mean the final month of the season is meaningless. There are some individual and team storylines to monitor from now until the season finale on April 29 against the Lightning.
Let’s examine four of them.
1. Will Sorokin play himself into the Vezina discussion?
Let’s be clear: Ilya Sorokin is not going to win the Vezina Trophy. That has been all but clinched by Igor Shesterkin, barring some sort of monumental collapse by the goalie who plays his home games on the other side of the East River.
And there are some health concerns about Sorokin, too, after he took a couple of shots to the mask in Sunday’s loss to Tampa Bay, forcing him from the game after two periods. He wasn’t with the team Tuesday in Columbus, either, although coach Barry Trotz strongly suggested in the morning that the officially termed upper-body injury didn’t appear to be overly serious and Sorokin could return to the ice this week. Hopefully, he’ll be healthy enough to play at Madison Square Garden on Friday after what he did there the last time.
While Sorokin has been essentially platooning with Semyon Varlamov — Tuesday’s game was the 16th straight in which the goalies have alternated starts — his play for the past month and a half has been elite. Among the 32 goalies who have played at least 10 games since Feb. 17, Sorokin is first with a .943 save percentage and first with a 1.80 goals-against average, while compiling an 8-3-2 record. Shesterkin, for comparison, has a .930 save percentage and a 2.23 GAA in the span, with a 9-4-1 record.
For the season, among goalies who have played at least 35 games, Sorokin’s .927 save percentage ranks third (behind Shesterkin and Carolina’s Frederik Andersen), and his 2.30 GAA is fourth behind Andersen, Shesterkin and Calgary’s Jacob Markstrom.
The NHL’s general managers vote for the Vezina at the conclusion of the regular season, selecting only the top three goalies. That’s different than the other major awards, selected by the Professional Hockey Writers Association, in which we pick the top five. In other words, it’s more difficult to pick up votes for the Vezina, than the Hart or the Norris. The fact that the Islanders won’t make the playoffs will also hurt Sorokin.
Still, if he can finish strong, he could end up garnering at least a few votes. If he finishes the season the way he’s played for the past few weeks, perhaps he even gets into the top three and becomes a finalist.
2. Will Nelson hit 40 goals?
Brock Nelson’s tear continued on Tuesday night, when he deposited his 32nd goal of the season, tying the game at 1-1 on the power play after Columbus had opened the scoring less than five minutes earlier. He nearly had another in the second period, hitting the crossbar before the rebound went to linemate Anthony Beauvillier, who managed to zip it in from a difficult angle.
🚨 BEAUty 🚨 pic.twitter.com/CP1GqVKznJ
— New York Islanders (@NYIslanders) March 30, 2022
Nelson has eight goals in his past seven games, and his 13 goals since March 5 were tops among all NHL players headed into Wednesday night’s games. He has a good chance to become the Islanders’ first 40-goal scorer since Anders Lee reached that number in 2017-18. When Lee hit it, by the way, that was the first time since 2006-07, when Jason Blake potted 40 on the nose. So, yeah, it’s rare.
“Why not?” Lee said on Saturday in Boston when asked whether he thought Nelson could reach 40. “Let’s see what we can do here. I know he’s going to give it everything he has, and we’ve got plenty of hockey left. We’ll make sure to get as many chances as we can for him.”
Lee, of course, has also been no slouch lately, with five multi-point games this month and nine points (two goals, seven assists) in his past five games. In the 12 games that he’s played on a line with Nelson and Beauvillier, the three have outscored the opposition 12-9 at five-on-five, with an expected goals rate of 54.9 percent, per Natural Stat Trick.
“I think our communication as a line has been really great of late, and we’ve just been trying to build our game and work on little things and keep that dialogue going,” Lee said.
3. Will Barzal and Wahlstrom develop chemistry?
Lee, of course, had been playing most of the season (and the past few) with Mathew Barzal, who’s been on third-line duty lately (or is it the second line?) with Oliver Wahlstrom and Zach Parise. Results have been mixed.
It’s been mentioned frequently over the past few months that finding Barzal at least one dynamic, goal-scoring linemate is going to be paramount this offseason. There was hope that Wahlstrom might be that guy after they were put together on March 13, but it just hasn’t worked out so far.
This is one of those instances where I’m not sure looking at the advanced stats is all that beneficial. Yes, they’ve had zone time, but they’re just not having enough of an impact on the scoresheet. Wahlstrom has just one goal in his past 12 games, while Barzal has now gone 15 straight without one (although he did post two assists in the win over Columbus). For the Islanders to have sustained success, they’re going to need Barzal and whoever he’s playing with to outdo their competition, and that isn’t happening.
At this stage, it might make sense for Trotz to keep them together for a while longer just to see if any sort of chemistry develops. After all, these things don’t always happen overnight, and Wahlstrom is still just 21 years old.
Still, the combination that the fans had been clamoring for on social media for some time has been fairly disappointing. Some of that is on Barzal, of course, who is having a down year offensively, with 44 points in 56 games. Wahlstrom is still working through his own game, and Trotz agreed with a suggestion last week that his decisiveness when he gets the puck is one of those parts that need improvement. There have been a few instances when Wahlstrom just seems to be thinking too much, resulting in squandered scoring chances.
“The one thing (about) playing with Barzy is he’ll get you the puck, so sometimes, just get open and it will find you. That’s part of the process of learning to play,” Trotz said. “Instead of going to (open) space, he’s maybe going in to support when he doesn’t have to. That will come as he gets to know and have more reps with Barzy and Zach. There’ll be times where he’ll just have to lay in the weeds sometimes and wait for the puck, and other times he’ll have to go and support it. … There is a little bit of, I’ll say, indecisiveness where, ‘Am I shooting it or looking for something different?’ And Wally is a shooter.”
Wahlstrom, too, seemed to suggest last week that it’s still a work in progress on the wing of the 2018 Calder Trophy winner.
“(Barzal is) unbelievable coming up the neutral zone. Just read him, find those soft areas, and get myself open,” he said. “He (draws) two guys, so just got to find that backside, or the slot, and he’ll get the puck to me.”
4. Will young defensemen get more of a chance?
We already explored the Islanders’ defensive struggles now that Scott Mayfield is shelved for (probably) the rest of the season. The schedule is about to get much more difficult, too. After Thursday’s home game with Columbus, the Islanders play eight of their next nine on the road, so they won’t get to enjoy the benefit of having last change for most of the next two weeks.
That means guys like Andy Greene, Sebastian Aho and, perhaps, recent call-up Grant Hutton are about to see a healthy dose of the opposition’s top scoring lines.
But could the Islanders use the remaining few games as an opportunity to put younger legs in there? Now could be a good time to recall Robin Salo, or even give someone like Samuel Bolduc a longer taste of NHL action. Salo has 16 points (four goals, 12 assists) and a plus-4 rating in 33 games with Bridgeport this season (and one goal and three assists in 18 NHL games this season), while Bolduc has five points (two goals, three assists) in 49 AHL games (a decline in production from last season, when he had 14 points in 24 games). Bolduc, a second-round pick in 2019, has yet to make his NHL debut.
One guy who seems unlikely to come out of the lineup, at least in the short term, is Zdeno Chara. Even with the ridiculous schedule the rest of the way, in which the Islanders will play their final 18 games in just a 30-day span, indications are Chara will remain on a pair with the emerging Noah Dobson.
Trotz was asked Sunday how older guys like Chara (45) and Andy Greene (39) were managing with so many games in succession. The coach replied “they’re holding up pretty well,” but quickly turned his focus to Chara.
“He looks pretty fresh,” Trotz said about the future Hall of Famer. “Actually the last two nights (in Boston and against Tampa Bay) he’s been one of our better defensemen. He’s been solid, he takes care of himself, and he’s a good pro.”
There’s also the fact that we’re now past the trade deadline, and, despite interest in the veteran defenseman, Chara remained with the Islanders. It’s believed that general manager Lou Lamoriello wasn’t going to trade Chara unless the defenseman wanted to depart. After Sunday’s game, Chara was asked if it was important for him to stay for the remainder of the season.
“I believe in this team. That was my intention when I signed with this team, and I want to stick with it,” he said.
While his on-ice performance this season has left much to be desired on many nights, the benefit of having Chara on the bench and in the dressing room with Dobson was reflected Tuesday when cameras caught this moment between the veteran and the 22-year-old:

Sturdy Rose. Photo by Jerry Apps
During these days of uncertainly, despair, and disappointment, it is often the little things, the simple things that can cheer us up. A baby’s smile, a puppy’s wagging tail, a playful kitten, an autumn sunset, the smile in the eyes of a friend who is wearing a mask, the smell of freshly baked bread. And for me, an old rose bush that stands at the corner of our cabin.
I planted the rose bush 50 years ago; it must have a name but I don’t remember what it is. Each year it grows a bit taller and a bit wider. It begins blooming in early spring, and continues blooming all summer long—it is still blooming now as we move into fall. It will continue blooming until a hard freeze when it drops its leaves and rests until spring arrives.
Besides its many cheering blooms, the rose bush requires no care. No watering, no fertilizing, nothing at all. The deer don’t bother it. It grows and blooms during dry spells and rainy periods. It is buried in snow during the winter. It asks for nothing and gives much.
My farm is located in the township of Rose, in Waushara County—perhaps this is one of the reasons that my old rose bush continues to do so well. This is its home; this is where it is supposed to be. And for me, just looking at it makes me feel better.
THE OLD TIMER SAYS: It is often the little things, the simple things that can cheer us up.

SUPPORT YOUR VOLUNTEER EMS NEIGHBOR!
Email from Mark:
Phil Davenport, Chairman of the Bayfront Advisory Commission, asked me to send out this email to the various civic league/homeowner association contacts to obtain written comments regarding two topics:
The Bayfront Advisory Commission (BAC) will be holding their annual Strategic Planning session prior to their regular meeting at 1 PM on August 20, 2020. Phil has requested that the various organizations provide BAC with their written comments/or concerns about the bayfront area in general to help with the strategic plan discussion.
At the regular meeting, BAC will be discussing the Westminster-Canterbury application. This item has been delayed until the August 25, 2020 City Council meeting. Please provide any written comments or concerns that your organization may have regarding this application.
Please email me your comments about these items no later than Monday 8/17/20 so I can compile and send to the BAC members prior to the meeting. BAC meetings are now being held at the Ocean Park Rescue Squad meeting room, 3769 E. Stratford Road to allow for more social distancing. However, due to the spacing requirements, there will be extremely limited seating.
Thank you for your help and please feel free to contact me with any questions.

Is it more appropriate to DEFER the Public Hearing scheduled for City Council Meeting August 4th 2020 to allow the City to hold the necessary public forum and reach an acceptable compromise rather than try to work a solution during a Public Hearing that also includes very real health risks for its participants considering:
The unknown recent changes Large opposition to publicly seen proposed development 3 Councilpersons needing to recuse themselves Inconsistencies throughout the entire process to date The complexity of the precedent setting “iconic building” WCCB will have in the Shore Drive Community for decades
Recent FOIA documents available below.
Note: Attachments mentioned in many emails were not included for the public to view.
“We have 2 presentations coming up now because of the complexity . . .” ~ Mayor Dyer July 28th 2020
Obfuscation intentional or unintentional is not a good look for anyone involved in this process.
July 25th 2020 – SIGNAGE
They still haven’t fixed the conflicting times (12:00 noon on two signs and 6:00 pm on two other signs), and the convention center is listed for the planning commission meeting on two of the signs, rather than the city council meeting which still says council chambers. The lack of attention to detail is astonishing.
LATE JULY – PLANNING COMMISSION OFFICIAL TRANSCRIPTS FINALLY INCLUDES WCCB
As of the most recent Bayfront Advisory Committee Meeting July 16th 2020, Planning Commission WCCB Transcripts were not available to the public, nor on the public record.
Our original post of PLANNING COMMISSION MARCH 11 2020 OFFICIAL TRANSCRIPTS
PLEASE NOTE: Incomplete PDF file we downloaded that day excluding WCCB TRANSCRIPT and compared to link of PDF at VBGov.com. 40 pages were missing. Interestingly, the link to PDF at VBGov.com is not broken even though the PDF was changed adding WCCB TRANSCRIPT. In other words – the PDF was dramatically altered with no public record of alteration. Maybe it’s time the City time stamps all public records posted on the official record & when errors are made, add a description of the error and keep original incorrect document public.
SDCC TOOK A SURVEY re: WCCB
July 25th 2020 – CITY COUNCILMAN CONCERNS ON HOW THIS PROCESS APPEARS TO THE PUBLIC
Subject: Concern on City Manager Briefings
This email content has three parts:
1. City Manager
3. City Council
Why did you place West Minister and Thalia Wayside that are Planning items on City Manager Briefings?
Who will be giving said Briefings?
The briefing material is just a repackaging of the developer’s proposals. I did not see any of the opposition material being included. Is there a reason it is an unbalanced brief?
This comes across as sales pitch for the developer where the other side does not get equal time.
This is an example of the very issue I discussed with you last Wednesday evening.
I will raise a vigorous objection to what is a less than balanced presentation of these two developments. If we are going to indirectly give the developers advertising for their developments than the opposition being the neighborhoods deserve to have their views represented as well with equal quality of graphics and content.
This is not an approach that promotes unity or conveys neutrality by the staff.
Since this email is subject to FOIA on this coming Sunday I will be posting the basic content of this email on Facebook.
I requested sometime ago additional analysis on the Thalia Wayside project from staff, and I have not seen it yet on shared parking.
Let me be clear, I take major exception to unbalanced briefing materials that undermine the public’s confidence on the neutrality of the staff and by our silence conveys City Council’s concurrence with an approach that at best is only the appearance of advocating for developers and at worst, well I leave that to your imagination.
Now, if we are had two briefings representing the developers’ proposals and that of the opposition of equal length, quality, and time that would be a different story. Sadly that is not the case.
We can do better than this. The voters, Council employers, expect more of us. This briefing should not happen. Whatever the motivation or perceived benefit that gave rise to the City Manager briefing, the political capital it wastes and the distrust of Council’s governance it promotes makes the presentation a major error of judgment.
I trust that upon reflection between now and Tuesday that this an error of judgment we avoided versus executed.
View the perception of the City Manager’s proposed briefing through the eyes of the voters and ask yourself as Council Members do you want to own that perception. I think not.
For my colleagues on the ballot in November, some of whom I have endorsed, sustain the integrity of the judgment behind your vote (yeah or nay) by not remaining silent on what will be seen as a lack of impartiality in our governance.
JULY 27 2020 – PROPOSED CHANGES TO WCCB. WHEN IS THE PUBLIC INPUT ON THIS TAKING PLACE IN A PUBLIC HEARING?
Following the Planning Commission hearing, the applicant looked at ways to further mitigate the impact of the 22-story building on the adjacent properties to the east. As such, they are now proposing to move the building 15 feet on the ground level further to the west, away from the property line, as well as another 11 feet on levels 2 – 5. The dock area for the same building has been redesigned to confine trash operations behind doors with compactors within the building itself. Walls and ceilings inside the dock area will be lined with heavy duty sound attenuation panels. Along the eastern property line, an 8’ tall masonry wall is now proposed along with additional landscaping. The elevated bridge proposed over Starfish Road has been reduced in length by almost 60 feet and the bridge over Ocean Shore Ave has shifted slightly to the north. My apologies for the confusion about the Planning Commission date noted in the letter you received. That was a typo. You’re quite right in that the application was originally reviewed and recommended for approval on March 11th.

JULY 24 – BAC CHAIRMAN CORRECTS THE OFFICIAL RECORD re: BAC POSITION ON WCCB
Subject: Westminister Canterbury
I am writing you on behalf of the Bayfront Advisory Commission. City Council is scheduled to discuss and vote on the proposed addition to the Westminister Canterbury site on August 4. During the presentation to the Planning Commission the developers made statements to the effect that the Bayfront Advisory Commission approved their proposed project. In fact, the BAC, as a general rule, does not vote to approve or deny projects. We do provide advisory comments.
The BAC did receive a presentation from WC in November. This was early in the project, and the developer had not yet contacted all of the neighboring residents. One of the BAC concerns was that the 22 story tower was too high and not in accordance with other development in the Shore Drive corridor. We were advised this was a “by right” design because it was for senior housing. This remains a concern with most of the residents in the corridor. There are other design concerns of the neighboring residents that the BAC has not vetted.
The BAC is more than willing to provide more analysis of the project, including recent changes to the design, and to offer a specific recommendation to City Council, but that will require a one month deferral of City Council action.
The BAC will await your direction regarding this issue.
Chairman, Bayfront Advisory Commission.
No sun outlasts its sunset, but it will rise again and bring the dawn.
~ Maya Angelou
From the organized group in opposition to the WCCB Proposed Expansion, which if approved, will set a negative precedent in Shore Drive Community for the foreseeable future.
Time To Take Action
The City Council will now be addressing the Westminster Canterbury expansion on August 4th, 2020. As of now it looks like the meeting will be at The Virginia Beach Convention Center, but we do not have specifics as of yet. Please take the time to write and call all of the City Council members below and express the following.
Let them know they are not making a smart decision by having a meeting of 200 to 250 seniors in one room to discuss such an important issue even with social distancing.
Please let them know your concerns even if it means just sending the same or a similar letter that you sent the last time.
We understand that phone calls are even more impactful than emails so please feel free to call the City Council members to voice your concern.
Finally, we would like to suggest that you contact Governor Ralph Northam and encourage him to contact The Virginia Beach City Council and ask them to postpone such an important meeting and not risk the health of seniors that wish to voice their opinions about the Westminster Canterbury expansion plans.
Please use the emails, links and phone numbers below to contact our representatives.

A request from your neighbor at our DISCUSS Page:
“Hello fellow Shore Drive neighbors,
I am requesting the survey linked below be distributed to in order to get more respondents. Below is a post I made on “Next Door Safety” a few days ago and have received 55 individual person responses from communities located along the Bay Beach/Shore Drive. So far the information collected in the survey is revealing. It appears most folks have strict control of their dogs on the beach, however 90% of these same folks have encountered dogs not under control and 70% of the 90% say they have had concerns about the safety of their dog or person. 10% of the 70% have had slight or severe injury done to their dog by uncontrolled dogs.
More survey respondents are necessary for this survey to provide actionable data. Not looking for opinions on what should be done. That will come after this survey data is analyzed, a committee is formed and more research is done. Looking to provide options to the City to make out beaches enjoyable for all. This is not, repeat is not, an effort to have a leash law for the beaches….”
More info about the Survey:
Here is the survey. No more posts of opinions and positions are required or desired on Next Door. If you have good intentions and are willing to back up comments with some action, please join the Committee referred to in the Survey”.

Have you ever had a vaccine? I have. Some haven’t. I remember when I was a kid,
maybe around six, sitting on the paper-covered exam table in my doctor’s office. The room was sterile and cold, and a nurse was approaching me with the needle. Like most children, I was absolutely petrified. The fear of the unknown, of the pain, of a foreign metal penetrating my body...completely out of control and unaware of what it was supposed to protect me from...only aware of the fear. I cried. I tried to get away. They had to hold my arm down to keep me from pulling away. My mom couldn’t watch and had to leave the room because she felt so guilty watching me sob in fear, with no way to comfort me. It stung when the needle pierced my skin. And then again and again. Five times. At least they didn’t do a finger prick that day too. Those scared me the most.

POUGHKEEPSIE, N.Y. - The Marist women's basketball team opened the 2012-13 season with their first official full-squad practice Tuesday evening. Per NCAA rules, basketball teams can begin practicing as early as 40 days prior to their first scheduled regular season game, but must have 10 days off in that period.
The Red Foxes are coming off their seventh consecutive Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference (MAAC) Championships and a second straight appearance in the second round of the NCAA Tournament. Three starters from last year's squad return to the lineup this season including All-MAAC Third Team selection Leanne Ockenden (Syracuse, N.Y.) and MAAC All-Tournament member Casey Dulin (Milford, Conn.). The two juniors will lead the 2012-13 Red Foxes as captains along with senior Elizabeth Beynnon (Burlington, Vt.)
Ockenden continues to be the Red Foxes best three-point threat, leading the team with 60 made field goals from beyond the arc last season, while taking the most attempts (178) in the MAAC. She finished fourth on the team in scoring, with 8.8 points per game and third with a .434 field goal percentage.
After taking over the reigns as the starting point guard last season, Dulin went on to lead the Red Foxes with 1.9 steals per game while finishing third on the team in scoring with 9.4 points per game and averaging 3.0 assists per game. She was also second on the team, grabbing 4.1 rebounds per game and shot 80% (100-125) from the free-throw line.
Marist also adds five newcomers to the program this season. Sophomore Tori Jarosz (Cortlandt Manor, N.Y.), a 6-3 forward, is eligible this season after sitting out last year following her transfer from Vanderbilt. Additionally, four freshmen join the Red Foxes' roster with looks to make an immediate impact. Delaney Hollenbeck (Alpharetta, Ga.), a 6-5 center, and Madeline Blais (Exeter, N.H.) will provide depth in the frontcourt while Sydney Coffey (New Hope, Minn.) and Eileen Van Horn (Waukesha, Wisc.) will play pivotal roles at the guard position.
The Red Foxes will open their season versus Vermont on Friday, Nov. 9 at 6 p.m. in McCann Arena. The contest will be aired on ESPN3. The MAAC Preseason Awards Shows will also be hosted that day from McCann Arena. The Coaches' Preseason Poll will be announced along with the Preseason Player of the Year, and the Red Foxes will raise their MAAC Championship banner in a pregame ceremony.

If you want to be a key system administrator, or a network administrator of your own kind, there is a fundamental technology that a person needs to understand well: DNS, the Domain Name System. There was a time when a system administrator who didn’t want to manage Internet-connected services could effectively get by without understanding DNS, but those days are long gone.
You can learn everything you need to know about DNS in one article. But that’s not what’s inyou must do today; Instead, we want to give you a brief and empty guide to the structure and therefore the meaning of the most important part of the Domain Name System: the complete zone file as it appears in BIND, the Berkeley Internet name manager.

Where are BIND zone files stored?
The BIND named server uses the /etc/named. conf to install. All zone files are located in the /var/named/ directory.

The next line,
$TTL 5m, indicates exactly who has five minutes left to live in the following lines. This relatively short value means that remote DNS resolvers only need to cache the documents they have retrieved from the zone for seven minutes before querying them again. If you’re reasonably sure that your DNS for a given domain doesn’t reverse very often, you should increase this value to reduce the number of queries that remote website hosts make to your nameserver, but be aware. Keep in mind that a longer TTL means more downtime means you’ll need to make changes to your DNS in a second (or do an override that accidentally breaks it).
$TTL can be defined multiple times in the same scope – eachThe th time you change them, you change their value for the corresponding lines of new n values anywhere in the same zone file.
How is a zone file constructed?
The zone file was a text file with a unique format defined in RFC 10 and was also stored in a DNS (name server). Zone files, as you can see, contain IP and name data, MX storage, and other service records. They also contain binding data that creates connections to other DNS servers associated with them.

In the third part of 'Socialism and War' John Rees argues that we should oppose our own imperialist governments and their wars
Many people who are anti-war and who are utterly dismayed at the jingoism of all the establishment parties believe that pacifism is the best way to prevent war. Many more, who are not pacifists out of principle, will argue that once war starts the best we can hope for is a ceasefire and the opening of negotiations between those in the conflict.
Any socialist will welcome such opposition to war when it comes from workers and students who are sickened by the barbarity of the society in which they live. Such outrage has always been a powerful motivating force in every anti-war movement. We should, however, be much more sceptical of the same sentiments when they tumble from the lips of politicians and trade union leaders.
The great powers do not always oppress others by armed force--sometimes the "peaceful" threat to wreck another nation's economy is enough. We cannot assume that simply because the shooting has stopped the great powers have not resorted to other, more subtle, forms of violence or that the exploitation and oppression in whose name they fight wars is not being continued by other means.
"Peace" has also always been the favourite cry of the politician or union leader who has their back to the wall. Facing defeat, either at home or abroad, the warmonger will always try to salvage what they can by becoming a sudden convert to a "just and negotiated peace".
This was just the reaction of many European governments during the First World War as anti-war sentiment swept through the continent's working classes. It was a reaction mirrored many years later by Richard Nixon during the Vietnam War. Usually such protestations are combined, as in these two cases, with demands that we must continue fighting until the other side agrees to a "just" peace.
But there is a more fundamental reason why socialists reject the pacifist argument. It is because such a strategy leaves the causes of war untouched. So long as we simply aim at putting a halt to the latest barbarity in which our rulers are engaged we will always leave them free to prepare another war. We have seen that such a drive to war is inherent in the way capitalism works.
The history of the 20th century more than corroborates this analysis. The colonial wars of the early years of the century prepared the First World War. The end of that war laid the seeds of the Second World War. The imperialist rivalries between the victors of that war produced the Cold War, the Korean War and the Vietnam War. The break up of the Cold War pattern of imperial competition gave us two wars in the Gulf War in which the armies ranged against each other are of Second World War proportions, plus the neo-colonial occupation of Afghanistan.
Simple calls for peace do not go far enough because they do not address the question of how we get rid of the system which produces war. Also they fail to address the connection between war and the domestic policy of the ruling class. War and oppression abroad always go hand in hand with repression and exploitation at home.
In every war some or all of the following are inflicted on workers: strikes are banned; socialists, anti-war protesters and "aliens" are jailed or interned; taxes are raised and welfare cut; the press is censored; conscription is introduced; wages are lowered and working hours are lengthened; and chauvinism and racism are stoked.
Inevitably all sorts of other struggles intensify in times of war, although the degree to which this happens depends on the scale of the war, the balance of forces between the major classes, the economic condition of particular economies and of the world economy, and so on. Nevertheless, battles over conscription, over the imposition of higher taxes, over attempts to ban strikes or worsen conditions will be intimately connected with a war.
If the peace movement does not reach out to these struggles, if it restricts itself to simple demands for peace and does not broaden the struggle into a class struggle, it will deny itself the best chance of stopping the war and of developing a struggle that can strike the power to wage war from our rulers' hands forever.
This is why socialists are not pacifists. We do not forgo the strike weapon when it will deny our rulers the taxes or wage cuts they need to fight a war. We do not deny ourselves the weapon of the general strike when it will bring down a warmongering government. And we will not renounce a revolution when it would end the senseless slaughter once and for all.
Lenin summarised these arguments during the First World War. "We differ from the pacifists", he wrote, "in that we understand the inevitable connection between wars and the class struggle within a country; we understand that wars cannot be abolished unless classes are abolished and socialism is created; we also differ in that we regard civil wars, ie wars waged by an oppressed class against the oppressor class, by slaves against slaveholders, by serfs against landowners and by wage workers against the bourgeoisie, as fully legitimate, progressive and necessary."
From this analysis Lenin drew the conclusion that the most effective way of fighting against war was to intensify the struggle against your own ruling class. Every demonstration weakened the government's claim that the population backed the war; every strike made it more difficult for the government to conduct the war; every revolt by people in the colonies, like the 1916 Easter Rising in Ireland, was a thorn in the side of the warmongers.
The great German revolutionary Karl Liebknecht, one of the few to stand out against the First World War, encapsulated a similar view in a famous phrase: "The main enemy is at home”. Lenin thought that all socialists should be for the defeat of their own rulers in an imperialist war. German socialists should be for the defeat of the German rulers, French workers for the defeat of the French government, British socialists for the defeat of the British and so on. His critics accused him of being illogical. Surely you realise someone has to win the war, they demanded.
Lenin's reply was twofold. First he insisted that unless you are willing to call for the defeat of your own government you will end up denouncing every protest and strike. The right wing will say, and they will be right, that strikes and demonstrations weaken the war effort and therefore court defeat. Unless socialists reply that we are striking and demonstrating precisely because we want to weaken the war effort they will be utterly dumbstruck by our rulers' argument. The right will undoubtedly howl, "But that means we'll lose the war." And we must answer, if it takes the defeat of "our" side to stop the war then that is the lesser evil.
Lenin's second point was that it is only people who have given up any hope that workers can change society who will argue that one ruling class or another must win in the end. He insisted that a war which starts as a war between nations does not have to end that way. The class struggle can develop during the course of the war in such a way that the war is brought to a halt by the struggle between the working class and the various ruling classes of the great powers.
The First World War ended in precisely this way. Revolution swept not only Russia but also Germany. Huge class struggles swept Italy, France and Britain. Lenin's slogan, "Turn the imperialist war into a civil war", became a reality. So Lenin's call for the defeat of Russia was not "illogical", any more than American writer and revolutionary John Reed's call for the defeat of the United States, Karl Liebknecht's call for the defeat of Germany and British Marxist John MacLean's call for Britain's defeat were "illogical". It was the only means of uniting workers internationally against the war and against all their ruling classes.
Of course, not every war is on the scale of the First World War and therefore not every war creates the conditions for turning a war into a revolution. But the general approach of turning an imperialist war into a class war remains. Whether we talk of a token protest strike or an insurrectionary general strike, the ruling class will always accuse us of damaging the war effort. We can only fight effectively to end war if we answer clearly that we put the interests of our class first, that we see no reason to join in the slaughter of other workers for the sake of the profits of those who oppress us at home.
There is also an important distinction to be made between the two major sorts of war which have taken place in the imperialist era. Firstly there have been wars between major imperialist powers, like the First and Second World Wars. Secondly, there have been wars conducted by the major imperialist powers against national liberation movements or to' conquer other nations whose independence is a threat to the imperial order. A prime example of the second case is the Vietnam War.
These two cases make little difference to the attitude which socialists should take to the great powers. In both cases socialists see the main enemy as their own rulers. But there is a difference in the socialist attitude to, say, the German Kaiser or Hitler on the one hand and Ho Chi Minh on the other. In a war between great powers a call for the defeat of one's own rulers does not mean we hope for the victory of someone else's rulers. "Socialists must take advantage of the struggle between the robbers to overthrow all of them”, Lenin argued. We realise that for the working class to be victorious over all the robbers we have to start at the struggle where we are, in our own country, by making our own rulers the main enemy, regardless of the military consequences.
Where imperialist powers are involved in colonial wars we hope that they are beaten. Such reverses can only weaken the ruling class at home and therefore increase the possibilities of ending the war and of securing gains for the working class at home. During the Vietnam War every Vietnamese National Liberation Front victory brought the war nearer its end and made the task of the peace movement easier. Every NLF victory made it harder for Nixon to get away with repression of the anti-war movement or the student protests or the struggles for black liberation. In the end the victory of the NLF seriously weakened US imperialism for 20 years. Their sacrifices saved tens of thousands of lives in other Third World countries like Nicaragua or Iran where, despite all the CIA subversion, the US no longer felt confident enough to fight an open war.
As Lenin put it, those who wish to see a pure revolution without nationalist revolts in oppressed countries, will never live to see a revolution. Such revolts can manifest all sorts of religious and nationalist prejudices. But Lenin argued the political complexion of the leaders of small nations--be they nationalist, fundamentalist, dictators or democrats--should not determine whether socialists in the major imperialist countries support them against imperialism. It is enough that a victory for imperialism would set back the cause of oppressed nations everywhere for socialists to commit themselves to the side of national liberation.
Whether the leaders of such nations are despots, or merely murderous "democrats" in the George Bush mould, it is the task of the working class of these nations to settle accounts with them. Any interference by the imperialist powers would only be to secure profits and strategic interests.
But socialists should not feel their opposition to imperialism obliges them to stand mute as the working class and oppressed battle against the ruling classes of the Third World. We should support their struggles and urge that, were socialists to lead those countries against imperialism, the fight would be all the more effective. We must not lend the leaders of nationalist struggles "a communist colouration", Lenin warned.
So, though socialists were as opposed to US imperialism as Ho Chi Minh, they were unsparing in their criticism when he murdered Vietnamese Trotskyists and when his repressive regime weakened the war against the US by attacking workers' living standards and right to organise.
Similarly, our wish for the defeat of the forces of imperialism in the Gulf wars did not mean keeping quiet about Saddam Hussein's repression of workers and refusal to grant independence to the Kurdish minority. To do otherwise might have strengthened Saddam's government while weakening the Iraqi workers' ability to fight the imperialist coalition ranged against them.
In fact this kind of criticism is even more justified in the case of Saddam Hussein than in that of Ho Chi Minh. The latter was at least a consistent anti-imperialist. But Saddam fought an imperialist war on the United States’ behalf against Iran in the 1980s. He would have come to such an arrangement again if the US let him.
George Bush went to war wanting the defeat of Saddam Hussein and the Iraqi working class. He knew any US puppet that replaced Saddam would be no kinder to the Iraqi people than Saddam was when the US supported him. For his part, Saddam Hussein wanted the defeat of the imperialist forces. But he also wanted the defeat of the Iraqi working class. He was against the US in spite of his politics, not because of them.
Socialists want the defeat of imperialism and the victory of the Iraqi working class. We oppose our own imperialist governments, hoping for their defeat. If defeat had come at Saddam's hands we would still have welcomed it. But we hoped for it at the hands of Iraqi workers who could have both crushed Saddam and proved far better opponents of imperialism.

"Barack Obama knows a lot about housing problems," an announcer says in the spot. "One of his biggest fundraisers helped him buy his million dollar mansion. Purchasing part of the property he couldn't afford. From Obama, Rezko got political favors, including $14 million from taxpayers. Now, he's a convicted felon facing jail. That's a housing problem."

Chancel repair liability can cost you a fortune if you're buying, inheriting or moving into an affected property, but there’s insurance to protect you from local church bills.
Chancel repair liability is a law that requires some landowners to pay for repairs to their local church.
It applies to landowners in England and Wales whose land was formerly owned by or had liability to the church.
Chancel repair insurance will protect you from the cost you’d have to pay to the Church, including legal expenses.
It covers any repairs you’ll have to pay for, so you’re not caught out by a large and unexpected bill.
Chancel repair liability is sometimes stated on the title deeds to your house, but not always.
Your solicitor can run a ChancelCheck Search to see if you’re liable.
However, the ChancelCheck Search will only tell you if there’s a possibility of liability.
If that is the case, you'll be advised to take out an indemnity insurance policy to protect you form the potential cost.
However, due to the risk involved being actually quite small, indemnity policies for chancel repair are inexpensive and less than the cost of the search itself - so it might be a cheaper option just to take it out if you're in an affected area.
You can use The National Archives to find the chancel repair liability of your parish for free.
Or, you can use the paid search service to find out about liability in your specific parish.
Just be warned that neither are legally binding so the onus is still on you to find out for sure the status of your home.
Always consult your solicitor, who will advise whether an indemnity policy is worthwhile.
Yes – it’s a single payment for a policy that you make just before completing on your property purchase, so you won’t need to pay again every year.
The insurance policy covers you for chancel repair claims made within 25 years of purchase. After 25 years you’ll need to renew your policy.
The Parochial Church Council can choose which properties need to pay and the bill could run into hundreds of thousands of pounds.
The church can apply the bill to a small handful of houses, rather than the whole parish.
If you’re thinking about buying a property within the boundaries of a parish church council, talk to your solicitor about whether you’ll be liable to pay chancel repair costs. It's something that should come up in the searches that are done during the house-buying process.
The Church had to register which properties would pay chancel repair costs with the Land Registry before 13 October 2013.
If you're faced with a payment for chancel repairs, you may wish to get legal advice to ensure the church has satisfactory evidence of your properties liability.
If you live in or are buying a new build property that was built after 13 October 2013, you probably won’t be liable.
But never assume - the church can still register an interest in the property before it's registered with the Land Registry, even if it’s built after 13 October 2013.
It may not show up on the title deeds, so check with your solicitor.
The developer may advise that’s it’s aware of the parish, but not whether the property is affected.
Chancel repair liability insurance will protect you from the cost you’d have to pay to the Church, including legal expenses
Businesses are less likely to be affected by chancel repair liability.
Paul Hajek, principal at Clutton Cox conveyancing says, “Many businesses rent or lease properties and it's not the leaseholder who would be liable but the owner of the property.”

There are so many odds and ends when you are getting ready to travel out of the country. Besides the packing and the postponing of newspapers and mail, there are the phone calls to the various banks and credit card companies letting them know when a charge comes through that is not your norm, it is ok.
We were headed to Quebec and Canada is such a close neighbor that it is easy to forget it really is not part of the our borders. I forgot to let the banks know I was traveling outside of the US. As soon as I crossed the border and heard lovely French, I remembered instantly, though. Canada is a very different place from USA and a beautiful and easy place to get to when you want to get away and feel like you are traveling someplace with a more European vibe.
My partner and I roamed the cobblestones streets, learning how to navigate a new city. We ate poutine which should be illegal and I am grateful it has not found its way down to Rhode Island or it could very well be my caloric demise.
We went to the Musee national des beaux-arts du Quebec and came upon an exhibit by contemporary artists, Cozic whose description read, COZIC is a two-headed visual artist with four hands made up of Yvon Cozic and Monic Brassard. And it was there I was struck by the question of what is art anyway, and who gets to claim and define that question?
I appreciate when art does this. When it makes you read every single description card next to it its piece on the wall. We spent three hours looking at this exhibit. Odd, unusual and at the same time, captivating. The art was, at some points, interactive clearly inviting the visitors to be more than voyeurs. Touching, smelling even, being part of their work making me consider that art is more than just staring and feeling. I hadn’t really thought about this before.
What also struck my feminist radar was the description of who they are in their work. This wife and husband team prefer to be described as one artist. It is certainly a brilliant marketing element to their work, but what I noticed is that it is the Cozic name used as the signature of the show and I kept feeling, Where is Monic?
She gets her due because when they are both written about, she is part of the story in all of the pieces, but where is her name on the art? They have been together since the sixties and I just wanted one piece that said, Monic Brassard. This all could have been her choice from the beginning and I don’t know anything more than my first impression of an exhibit that got me to really think during and afterwards. Art is like this; it gets me thinking about life- feminism, culture, marketing, politics and identity.
Identity. Who owns it? Who gets to claim it? How is it remembered after the artist passes- in this case after Monic passes? I began wondering who decided to use his name, Cozic, instead of her name, Brassard? In the sixties, would her name have had the success if it he had been attached to her name instead of the other? Doubtful.
As I made my way through the museum I began counting the number of female artists represented versus the male artists. Before long, I became too distracted by this and stopped as it was deterring me from appreciating the art. If this latest wave of feminism of #Metoo did something beyond its intention, it made me hyper aware of the lack of female representation in mostly everything. It has a long way to go before I walk into a museum and start thinking about counting the number of male artists as a minority compared to female artists as a majority.
This all means that Cozic accomplished something. Cozic made me think. Two-headed visual artist with four hands made me feel. It made me frustrated and pissed off and smile all at the same time. Mission accomplished.
We made our way out of the museum and to the market, then headed to The Old City where we went on a walking tour. As I made my way into the tourist center to pay for the tour, my debit card was declined and it was there I remembered I forgot to call the bank. Thankfully, I had my partner along to pay while I called my bank to rectify the situation when I learned that the card was on a fraud alert and I would have to call the fraud department. Highly inconvenient. The tour was about to begin and I would have to address this problem later. This is another benefit about vacation, super chilled out. I did not get all wound up, just turned my phone off and said, I will deal with this later.
After the tour, we walked back to our temporary air b+b home. I called the fraud department where I learned that my card was not declined because I was trying to use it in Quebec, but because someone else had been using it online and the charges seemed suspect. I’d say. Capricurves, Fashionnova, Boobtape and Petco. Four mysterious charges online and in Great Britain.
When the kind woman at fraud alert asked me if I had charged anything on the website, Boobtape, I laughed. Boobtape is one thing I, for sure, don’t need. I have boobs that are straight out wonder woman- no bra needed- these days thanks to the good old reconstruction. Whoever had decided that they needed Capricurves and boobtape on my credit card at least was considerate enough to buy some pet food for their dog at Petco too.
I began thinking about identity and how these fraudulent charges caused me to piece together my version of the person who tried to use mine. Maybe the person was struggling with their own identity, trying to add curves and lift their boobs. Perhaps they were down and out and just needed some new clothes to feel better or to go on an interview. I don’t know. But identity and culture are part of this story for sure.
These days it is not that hard to get misuse taken care of promptly. My card was closed immediately and even though this was highly inconvenient while I was traveling, it wasn’t the worst thing that could have happened. I had planned on changing my debit card to get a more accurate handle on how many automatic charges come out of my account on a monthly basis and to get a new card to start fresh when I got home, anyway. In some ways starting a new identity.
Art got me thinking about identity and this got me thinking about how important art is for thinking. Traveling also gets me thinking about identity. How people live, where people live, how people interact with each other and with strangers and tourists like we have been this week.
Language, pride, patriotism are all a part of who we identify with and more importantly how we identify with each other. The Cozic exhibit was like looking into a keyhole to see what was on the other side of the door. This past week in Quebec got me to see that there is so much more on the other side of our border and I can’t wait to come back.

Crackling and sore knees are often associated with aging, but it is not unusual for adolescents, especially those active in sports, to experience knee pain. Aching pain in the front of the knee is very common in athletes, especially girls. Anterior adolescent knee pain is gradual and typically felt behind the kneecap.
Generally there are two categories of injury: chronic and acute. Chronic knee injuries occur gradually as a result of repetitive motion such as running, jumping or turning. Acute knee injuries are caused by immediate trauma like a sudden, hard fall or twist.
In many cases, the true cause of anterior knee pain may not be clear. It is usually not caused by any particular abnormality in the knee and does not mean that the knee will be damaged by continuing to do activities. A number of factors may be involved:
The pain usually begins gradually. You might experience these common symptoms:
The adolescent anterior knee pain syndrome is not usually associated with symptoms like clicking, locking, snapping, or giving way of the knee. These symptoms suggest a mechanical problem in the knee and are reasons to see your doctor.
If your knee pain is not to severe you can try rest and ice to alleviate the pain. Take a few days off from activities that stress the knee (practice, running, hiking, jumping, aggressive biking, etc). If the pain persists a visit to your doctor or physical therapist is advised.

Definitely recommend using them.

You are in walking distance to Silves but the walk back is fairly steep. However there are plenty of cheap taxis if you don't have a hire car our fancy more than one, at the lovely resturants in the town. two thumbs up. I hope too come back.”

We had a fantastic holiday! The villa was lovely, clean, spacious, in a quiet area yet near enough to Silves to walk to each evening. Susie was so helpful and communication was excellent! Any query was answered quickly and the information folder provided was very thorough. It helped that the week we were there coincided with the Medieval Festival which provided wonderful family entertainment. We spent most of our days round the pool, the only minor issue is that access is down steps as its on the lower level to the living areas...perhaps laziness on our part??but something to be aware of if mobility is an issue or young children are part of your party. A car is necessary to get to supermarkets and the beach, which we were aware of before we booked so was not a problem, we enjoyed exploring the area, following recommendations from Susie.
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would book with this company(and go back to this villa!) again.
|Prices for 8 guests
