There are essentially two steps in the Trust's conservation easement donation process – assessment and acquisition.
First, we assess your property to determine if it meets the Trust's criteria – provincial significance, cost of administering the easement, heritage character of the property, etc. The property may be of greater interest to other government departments or agencies, or non-governmental not-for-profit bodies. Under the recently amended Conservation Lands Act of Ontario, municipalities, conservation authorities and non-governmental not-for-profit natural heritage organizations are now empowered to acquire and hold natural heritage conservation easements. If the property is determined to be appropriate to acquire and hold in trust for the people of Ontario by the Trust's Board of Directors, then acquisition phase begins. The Trust requires a registerable legal description of the property, an appraisal of the property or easement interest (if a tax receipt is requested for the value of the donation), and a confirmation that the legal title to the property is clear.
When a donor is contemplating a donation of a conservation easement to the Trust, we strongly recommend that he/she seek independent tax and legal advice. For more information on easements, please feel free to contact us at easements@heritagetrust.on.ca.
Once the easement has been acquired, its administration is fairly straightforward. When the owner proposes alterations, it is the role and responsibility of the Trust to ensure that the alterations are carried out in a manner consistent with the conservation purpose of the easement – usually by offering advice and putting you in touch with conservation specialists in your area.
Easements do not prohibit change. Instead, they ensure that change is managed in a manner consistent with sound conservation principles. And because the easement runs with the title of the property, the conditions for the property's conservation remain in place should you sell or bequeath the property, thereby ensuring its long-term preservation. The Trust is then responsible for monitoring the site to ensure that the easement's original conservation intentions are followed.
The Trust provides easement property owners with markers. In addition to indicating the Trust's easement interest in the property, these markers recognize the commitment of landowners and communities across Ontario to the conservation of the province's heritage. They also identify properties as being of cultural or natural heritage significance.
For more information on heritage conservation easements, please contact us at easements@heritagetrust.on.ca.

Mayweather-Pacquiao PPV sales are astronomically high; could hit 5 million
Kevin Iole
Boxing May 7, 2015, 10:08 PM UTC
Generally for a major pay-per-vew fight, sales on cable systems throughout the country account for 55 to 65 percent of the total. It's more often in the 60 percent range, with satellite systems usually accounting for 35 percent of the sales and telephone companies making up the rest.
Yahoo Sports on Thursday learned sales figures for the Floyd Mayweather-Manny Pacquiao fight on DirecTV and Dish Network, as well as AT&T's uVerse and Verizon's FIOS services. Those add up to 2.25 million sales, which even without one sale from a cable company customer would make it tied for the second-highest-selling pay-per-view of all time.
Floyd Mayweather (USA Today)
DirecTV sold 1.15 million pay-per-views, while Dish's number was 500,000. The telephone companies combined for 600,000. Combined, that is 2.25 million already. If cable systems wound up being 60 percent of the total, that would mean the final figure is a mind-boggling 5.625 million.
Mayweather has already participated in the top two best-selling pay-per-view fights of all time, but their totals have combined for 4.73 million. The 2007 match with Oscar De La Hoya stands No. 1, with 2.48 million sales. The 2013 Mayweather-Canelo Alvarez bout sold 2.25 million.
If cable hits 60 percent of total sales and Mayweather-Pacquiao winds up doing 5.625 million, it would exceed Nos. 1 and 2 on the list by 895,000 sales.
Any promoter would be thrilled with sales of 895,000, given that would mean it's one of the top 40 pay-per-views ever. According to Yahoo Sports research, the top 10 boxing PPVs of all time, excluding Mayweather-Pacquiao, are:
Oscar De La Hoya-Floyd Mayweather, 2007, HBO, 2.48 million
Floyd Mayweather-Canelo Alvarez, 2013, Showtime, 2.25 million
Lennox Lewis-Mike Tyson, 2002, HBO & Showtime, 1.98 million
Evander Holyfield-Mike Tyson II, 1997, Showtime, 1.98 million
Mike Tyson-Evander Holyfield I, 1996, Showtime, 1.59 million
Floyd Mayweather-Miguel Cotto, 2012, HBO, 1.5 million
George Foreman-Evander Holyfield, 1991, 1.45 million
Oscar De La Hoya-Felix Trinidad, 1999, HBO, 1.4 million
Floyd Mayweather-Shane Mosley, 2010, HBO, 1.38 million
Mike Tyson-Peter McNeeley, 1995, Showtime, 1.35 million
It's hard to understand exactly how this fight took off the way it did. Yes, it was hyped for five-plus years and, yes, the fighters were still regarded as the two best in the world at the time they met. But the numbers coming in are so out of whack that it's almost impossible to explain.
All it means, at the end of the day, is that the fighters are going to wind up splitting up even more money than originally believed.

Q: How to source a new function written in python on GDB? I have written new convenience function(greet.py) in python in order to use it on GDB.
class Greet (gdb.Function):
     """Return string to greet someone.
     Takes a name as argument."""

    def __init__ (self):
         super (Greet, self).__init__ ("greet")

    def invoke (self, name):
         return "Hello, %s!" % name.string ()

Greet ()

Now I would like to use it on GDB as convenience function. What are the procedures I should do in order to use it while debugging a program on GDB?

A: As you discovered there's no built in user directory from which scripts are auto-loaded.
Usually a user would source individual scripts from their ~/.gdbinit file, like this:
source /home/user/gdb/scripts/my-script.py

If a user really wants scripts to be auto-sourced from a directory without having to add them to their ~/.gdbinit then this is easily done by adding the following into ~/.gdbinit:
python
import os
directory = '/home/user/gdb/scripts/'
if os.path.isdir (directory):
  for filename in sorted (os.listdir(directory)):
    if filename.endswith (".py") or filename.endswith (".gdb"):
      path = os.path.join(directory, filename)
      gdb.execute ("source {}".format (path))
end

This will load all *.py and *.gdb scripts from /home/user/gdb/scripts/.

A: In order to write new convenience function in GDB :

*

*write the function and place it under "~/gdb/python/lib/gdb/function"
import gdb

class Salam(gdb.Function):
    """Return string to greet someone.
    Takes a name as argument."""

    def __init__(self):
        super(Salam, self).__init__("salam")

    def invoke(self, name):
        return "Salam, jenap %s!" % name.string ()

Salam()

*Edit "~/gdb/data-directory/Makefile.in" and under "PYTHON_FILE_LIST" add "gdb/function/salam.py"

*./configure

*make

*make install

Now, after #gdb
try typing : "print salam("Aman")"
In order the convenience function to work, it must have python support under GDB.

As I started to come to the end of my treatment I was progressively worse physically but mentally I was going the other way. At 50% through the chemo I was feeling pretty low at 60% things are getting better as you have no planned overnight stays to come, at 80% with only one more visit to go I'd started smiling again. Words can only begin to describe the feeling I had when I came out of the hospital from my final top up. I think I even drove there and back. I was feeling top draw and knew that it was now just a case of getting better.
I started off easy going to the gym and swimming a couple of times a week. I wasn't going to win medals but I was feeling better and better. I even managed to squeeze two snowboarding trips within a month of finishing my chemo. Not a bad effort. I wasn't going at it hard but I was loving it especially having a cheeky beer or two with my brother.
I stayed off work a further month or so to get back up to speed with everything. I eventually organised myself and headed back down to London in time for my 25th birthday. A really good piss up and a shitload of people turned up.
It's been two years since I created 'mybollox.com' and everything is going well. I've realised my goal of moving to Australia and now live in Sydney enjoying shrimps on the barbie, throw down VBs and gloating about Australia losing the rugby and Ashes!!!
As for the fake ball we're having fun and all of our visits to the doctors have been successful. I was a little surprised that each check up required a CT abdominal scan, however, all is good and instead of every 4 months it's now every 6. My doc, Mark Rosenthal, has been brilliant with transferring notes etc. As I've passed the two year mark, my confidence is growing but it's always in the back of my mind. It is something I have to deal with and thankfully I'm surrounded by people who will support me if the worst does happen.
The web page has been a bigger success than anticipated with 1000's of hits - although I think my family account for 90% of them! On a more important note, I receive emails from people all over the world wanting to understand testicular cancer and looking for help in understanding that it's not the end of the world. Every time I receive one of these mails I'm impressed with their courage and strength. My hat comes off to you all; I wasn't strong enough to do that when I was ill!!
Have you checked your balls recently? Otherwise this is a wasted effort, so go on grab hold of the little fellas and give them a squeeze!!!

Gov. Deal extends state of emergency to all of Georgia
ATLANTA - Georgia Governor Nathan Deal extended the state of emergency related to Hurricane Irma to all 159 of the state's counties early Sunday afternoon. The state's Emergency Operations Command recommended the move in advance of powerful winds, heavy rain and potential flooding expected to move into Georgia from the south starting Sunday evening.
LATEST: Irma strikes Florida, headed for south Georgia
Governor Deal also announced that state government offices will be closed Monday and Tuesday, with only essential personnel required to work.
Gov. Deal will meet with state emergency management officials Sunday evening and is expected to hold a news briefing after his visit to the State Operations Center at 6 p.m.

"I want to caution all Georgians that just because the weather appears calm now, do not take that for granted," Gov. Deal said at a news conference Friday morning.
Deal was joined by other officials at the briefing to discuss how the state is preparing for Irma.
"The state is mobilizing all available resources to ensure public safety ahead of Hurricane Irma," said Deal. "Finally, I ask all Georgians to join me in praying for the safety of our people and all those in Hurricane Irma's path."

Irma is forecast to move into Georgia with hurricane-force winds. Parts of south Georgia are under a Hurricane Warning, and the Atlanta metro area is under a Tropical Storm Warning. Parts of southeast Georgia are expected to get 8 to 15 inches of rain as a result of Irma. The storm is expected to dump 2 to 6 inches of rain in metro Atlanta. Much of the state is covered by a Flood Watch as a result.

Winds, floods and the revenge of nature
Categories: Media, arts & sport Ecology
Storms, floods and a deluge of crap
Natural flood management is part of the solution, not dredging. But if we seriously want to preserve and restore nature, argues Eddie Ford, then we need to challenge capitalism
Parts of southern and central England have experienced the wettest January since Met Office statistics began in 1910 and, according to the Radcliffe Meteorological Station in Oxford University, the deluge for that month was greater than for any winter month since daily recording started in 1767 - three times the average amount. Thus a total of 146.9mm of rain fell in January, smashing the previous record of 138.7mm in 1852.1
As the rain keeps falling, an air of crisis surrounds the government, with David Cameron cancelling a trip to the Middle East and instead making a visit on February 11 to the south-west areas worst affected by the floods - including Dawlish, whose train station was virtually swept away, leaving the broken line literally hanging in mid-air. It will take at least two months to fix this track and also restore the submerged rail lines between Bridgwater and Taunton (north of Exeter). Meaning effectively that the entire south-west is cut off from the rest of the rail network, causing havoc for the tourist-dependent local economy. Meanwhile, more than 65 million cubic metres of water have flooded onto the Somerset Levels, with some farmers left with up to 90% of their land under water.
After his sweeping visit to the stricken south-west, Cameron held his first press conference in the UK since the summer - indicating the level of the crisis. He warned that "things may well get worse before they get better" - a fairly obvious statement of fact, given the 'red' weather warning that came out of the Met Office on February 12. Totally exceptional hurricane-force winds of up to 100mph battering west Wales and north-west England are predicted. Further flooding is expected along the Thames in Berkshire and Surrey and in general river levels are getting alarmingly high across the whole south-west, central and southern England. At the moment of writing, there are 121 flood warnings in place, 14 of which are severe.2 About 1,000 properties have been flooded out over the past week and the military have built a 60-metre wall at Datchet because of the "most serious developing situation" in the Thames valley. A 100-strong company of her majesty's finest, the 1st Battalion the Royal Regiment of Fusiliers, were also deployed to Wraysbury - but most of them were left sitting in the back of their lorries, as they had forgotten to bring wellies and waders.3
Surprising some at the press conference, Cameron declared that "money is no object in this relief effort" and "whatever money is needed for it will be spent" - no austerity when it comes to flood prevention, it seems. He personally would marshal the full resources of the state and "take whatever steps are necessary", and in that spirit will be chairing a new cabinet committee on February 13 to deal with the emergency. Time will tell though whether his words come back to haunt him - Cameron is not conjuring up new money, but is just raiding the pre-existing budget allocation for such matters. There will be lots of disappointed and angry people.
Regarding the Somerset Levels, Cameron said new pumps were in action and were removing three million tonnes of water a day - but this could be a labour of Sisyphus, given the continual rain. The prime minster promised that a tax deferral scheme would help businesses hit by flooding, while up to £10 million in new funding is being found to support farmers. Grants for homeowners and businesses will be available to improve flood defences, and another 1,600 military personnel will be deployed by the end of the week - if they remember to bring their wellies.
Interestingly, Cameron additionally stated that uninsured households could access "hardship funds" - more big government. Furthermore, he would decide if the new national flood insurance scheme should be "adapted" to assist businesses. You can see why. Full of the new-found spirit of national unity, naturally, the Association of British Insurers has already said it is "inevitable" that general house premiums will rise, given that flooding is now "the new normal" - no longer an 'act of god', presumably. Proving yet again that the insurance industry is a truly parasitical one, when it should be run, like the NHS, on the basis of need, not profit.
The ungenerous have suggested that Cameron's abrupt shift into Churchillian mode coincided with the flooding of the Tory heartlands in Berkshire, Surrey and elsewhere. For instance, Eton is now on a flood alert. And, seeing that local and European elections are coming up in May, with the United Kingdom Independence Party breathing down the Tories' neck …
Anyhow, Ed Miliband too confirmed that he would cancel a trip abroad in order to be with the British people in their hour of need. We are all in this together. Hence he visited homes in the Thames Valley. Alas, this attempt at gravitas was slightly ruined when he found himself asked to leave a school hall in Wraysbury by the wife of the Conservative deputy mayor accusing him of arriving for a "photo opportunity". Heaven forbid.
Of course, Cameron is desperately trying to reassert his credentials as a national leader after a disastrous round of petty bickering, in-fighting and wretched blame-gaming within sections of the Tory Party at the beginning of the week. Exactly the wrong impression to give at such a time. You drown whilst we settle old scores and engage in departmental empire-building. A deluge of crap.
First off was local loon Ian Liddell-Grainger - the great-great-great grandson of Queen Victoria and thus 309th in the line of succession to the throne. The furious Tory MP for Bridgwater and West Somerset lambasted Lord Chris Smith - the Labour head of the Environmental Agency - for not visiting the county sooner, calling him a "coward" and a "git" and threatening to "stick his head down the loo and flush". Then the obnoxious secretary of state for local communities, Eric Pickles, weighed in on February 9. He snidely apologised on behalf of the government for the fact they had "relied too much" on the Environment Agency's advice, as "we thought we were dealing with experts": he was furious with the EA for not dredging the rivers on the Somerset Levels. Pickles claimed that the agency had cut back on dredging not because of a lack of funding, but rather as a "matter of policy", as it made it more difficult for the excess water to flow out - and he went on to admit that he would not be wearing a "save Chris Smith" T-shirt if the peer decided to quit.
Perhaps surprisingly, these comments exasperated the environment secretary, Owen Paterson - temporarily out of action thanks to a detached retina. He rang Downing Street from his hospital bed complaining about the "simplistic nonsense" being spouted by the "grandstanding" Pickles. Then again, it is hard to feel too sorry for Paterson, who must surely be one of the "headless chicken brigade" that the prince of Wales attacked on January 31 - he accused "powerful groups of deniers" of engaging in intimidation against scientists and others warning of the catastrophic consequence of global warming. Indeed, in a sane world Paterson is just about the last person you would make environment secretary, having been associated in the past with crackpot climate 'sceptics' (so-called). Nor has he, it seems, ever attended a single briefing on climate change from his own science adviser, Professor David MacKay. Great, obviously the ideal man for the job. Back in the real world, scientists are "95% certain" that human activity bears some sort of responsibility for the change in climate.
Lord Smith, the butt of Tory anger, finally abandoned restraint and on February 10 conducted a series of broadcast interviews hitting back at the hypocritical Pickles, saying his staff know a "100 times more" than any politician about flooding - which is obviously true. He said the EA had "acknowledged" the local view on the Somerset Levels about dredging and had allocated £400,000 for the job - the "maximum amount" allowed by treasury rules. It is also a straightforward fact that the coalition government has cut spending on flood defences and so on, notwithstanding Cameron's apparent February 11 commitment to 'unlimited' spending. So in November 2010 the environment department said that funding over the next four years would be "just 8% less than our average yearly spend" - which, translated, meant that the budget was reduced in real terms by about 27%, as Smith criticised at the time.4
However, the real problem goes much deeper. As alluded to by Pickles, many within the EA and elsewhere are very dubious about the benefits of dredging - and rightly so. Not only will dredging make very little difference, if any: it can be positively damaging. You do not have to be a genius to work it out. A river's capacity is tiny by comparison to the catchment from which it draws its water. Therefore, dredging is likely to cause faster and more dangerous floods downstream when the water hits - for example - the nearest urban obstacle, like a trail track or bridge.
But the problems do not end there. If you cut off a river from its flood plain by turning it into a deep trench, you run the risk of speeding up the flow of water to other areas downstream. Congratulations - you have just made a bad situation worse by creating more dangerous rivers, undermining the foundations of bridges, weirs, culverts and river walls and causing untold destruction to the natural world; removing gravel from river beds by dredging leads to the loss of spawning grounds for fish, and can cause the loss of some species, like otters and water voles. And you may have spent enormous amounts of money making this ecological disaster. Now there is real joined-up thinking.
Restoring nature
So what is to be done in a country with extensive areas of densely populated and low-lying land along coasts and rivers? It is obvious that you cannot 'hold the line' everywhere: it would be far too costly and would destroy irreplaceable shoreline ecosystems through 'coastal squeeze'. No, the future for coastal management in the UK will involve realigning defences by moving - or retiring them - landward, which as a necessity requires finding just and equitable ways to relocate and compensate those who have been flooded because irresponsible capitalists have built houses on flood plains.
This alternative natural flood management will be predicated on working to increase infiltration and detain water within headwater catchments. So, calls for generalised dredging and channelisation should certainly be strongly resisted - it is counterproductive, just like badger-culling, even if it does temporarily appease the myopic and narrow interests of some farmers.
Rather, we communists fight for long-term solutions - not quick fix quackery. Capitalism is degrading the environment - and by definition a global problem requires global solutions. Meanwhile, here in Britain we need to think about preserving and restoring what nature gave us in the first place "for the sake of future generations" and "where possible enhance the riches of nature", as we say in our Draft programme (section 3.3, 'Environment'). Our common treasury. We need to plant more trees and other deep vegetation to retain and hold back the water and lower the banks, whilst de-canalising the upper reaches - allowing rivers once more to create meanders, braids, oxbow lakes, etc. Furthermore, as we also say in our programme, "extensive wilderness areas should be created, along with the reintroduction of the full array of native plants and animal species". Eg, the beaver - a brilliant manager of woods and rivers. In the same spirit we say: "... where feasible there should be the re-establishment of forests, natural floodplains, marshes, fens and heath land".
Just think about the now famous Somerset Levels - the name rather gives it away. Historically, it has been a sparsely populated coastal plain and wetland area - consisting mainly of hydric soil, which supports a variety of aquatic plants, and marshes, etc. Wetlands, of course, are the most biologically diverse of all ecosystems and serve a number of roles in the environment - water purification, flood control, shoreline stability and so forth. But over a couple of generations increasing parts of the Somerset Levels suffered the same fate as East Anglia - systematically drained and turned over to capitalist farming. In the case of East Anglia the resulting landscape is almost perfect for capitalist agriculture: extremely flat and extremely fertile, also allowing the application of the latest innovations of argi-business, not least giant computer-operated combine harvesters.
Communists think the idea of returning parts of the Somerset Levels and other places to nature should be seriously considered. After all, we stand for genuinely sustainable development, as opposed to the petty bourgeois utopianism of the Greens, based on the worship of small business and 'small is beautiful' localism. In our society of the future the crippling and alienating division between town and country will have been overcome and there will be no more hellish concrete jungles, urban sprawl, rural isolation, huge mega-farms or uninterrupted, industrialised agriculture.

« The truth comes out
More evidence of the death of "whom" »
Am I dreaming?
Sometimes I read something that just makes my jaw drop. I have to read it multiple times to make sure I'm not missing something. Then I have to make sure I'm actually awake, that it isn't all a dream. I had one of those am-I-dreaming? moments this morning, when I saw Sarah Palin's comments on healthcare reform. Readers, this is just surreal:
The Democrats promise that a government health care system will reduce the cost of health care, but as the economist Thomas Sowell has pointed out, government health care will not reduce the cost; it will simply refuse to pay the cost. And who will suffer the most when they ration care? The sick, the elderly, and the disabled, of course. The America I know and love is not one in which my parents or my baby with Down Syndrome will have to stand in front of Obama's "death panel" so his bureaucrats can decide, based on a subjective judgment of their "level of productivity in society," whether they are worthy of health care. Such a system is downright evil.
Palin refers to, but does not link to, something she read by Thomas Sowell (or, more likely, something somebody told her Sowell said — Palin, by her own admission, is not much of a reader), so I don't know whether the quotes she puts around "death panel" and "level of productivity in society" are just what they call "scare-quotes," or whether she's quoting something Thomas Sowell said, or what.
But that's kind of beside the point. What makes me wonder whether I'm actually reading this, or if it's all a weird dream, is the sheer lunacy of her assertions.
Does she actually, honestly believe that President Obama has proposed to convene a "death panel" that will judge the "level of productivity in society" of individual American citizens, and deny said citizens access to health care if said citizens are not deemed sufficiently productive?
Aside from the fact that no such proposal has ever been made, that's one of the craziest things I've heard all year. Is there any human being who actually believes something that wacky?
Readers, I think that's too crazy even for Sarah Palin to actually, literally believe it. I think she's playing her admirers for a bunch of fools, which is pretty much par for the course in America in the year 2009.
We Americans are in very deep trouble, readers. Our economy is in very bad shape. Our armed forces are still bogged down in two completely useless wars in Southwest Asia. There are a lot of problems we need to solve. Yet we citizens have to go out of our way to get the most basic facts about any of the issues we're facing as a nation. How come?
Well, one of the biggest problems is that we've got a political press corps who believe, and openly state, that it's not their job to evaluate whether the utterances of public figures are true or not, a press corps that is just hopelessly addicted to bullshit, gossip and trivia, whose idea of "reporting" boils down to He said this, and she said that, and how will that affect their popularity ratings in the next public-opinion poll?, who could not care less about policy — they find it boring — and prefer to look at politics as an extension of celebrity gossip. We've got a completely polarized electorate, who look at everything through the lens of tribal affiliation (and this, readers, is basically why I quit blogging, because I'm just as guilty of that as anybody, and I'm sick to death of it).
All our political "news" is just thinly-disguised celebrity gossip, and all our political "commentary" is just one-sided propaganda and bullshit from a bunch of rich people who collect big fat paychecks from even richer people to play their viewers (or readers, or listeners) for a bunch of fools. Olbermann and Maddow are just as bad as Hannity and El Rushbo when it comes to playing their audience for fools (although they're not quite as nasty and hateful as their right-wing counterparts, I will give them that).
Worse, we are living in a culture that openly scorns knowledge in favor of belief. If you know something I don't, that doesn't matter — what I believe is just as important as what you know. President Bush governed our nation for eight years on the basis of what he believed, rather than what he or anybody else knew, and look where it got us, readers.
And so maybe that's why Sarah Palin feels comfortable saying, apparently in all seriousness, that President Obama would like to put her parents and her son in front of a "death squad" — because that's what she believes, and it doesn't matter whether it's true or not in real life, because she believes it?
That's a possibility. But I still don't buy it. Not even Sarah Palin is ignorant enough to believe this "death squad" bullshit. No, she's playing her fan base, the unfortunate souls who actually take her seriously, for a bunch of fools. That's how we roll in today's America.

May I use this in my class? My h.s. kids have a tough time doing exactly what you write about. They rarely think for themselves and are all too happy to parrot their parents' views which seem mainly to be fox news propaganda. Your piece is well-written, intellectually amusing, and cuts through the absurdity of Palin's logic. I wish you wouldn't give up the blogging. But that's selfish of me. I have a buddy who recently moved to Vermont to teach Latin at a small boarding school. He has spent the summer without television or news media of any kind and he tells me he couldn't be happier.
dumpendebat :
We've got a lot of important decisions to make in this country, and our news media just simply refuse to do their job. They can't be trusted, not because they're driven by any political bias, but because they flat-out do not give a flying fuck about policy. They care about trivia, and they care about gossip. Our elections are all about personality and "character." Current events are mostly about who's doing better in the polls right now, and what it might mean in the next polling cycle. This is what passes for "news."
The news media are very afraid of being accused of "bias," and besides, it's much easier (and a lot more fun) to write about personalities and arguments than it is to write about issues and policies, so they have decided that their job is just to "report the controversy." A said this, and B said that. End of story. Never mind if what A said wasn't true — it's no longer the news media's job to care about that kind of thing.
And political commentary is all about tribal affiliation. It's a very human trait to want to be part of a tribe, but tough decisions can't get made when all you have is two completely polarized tribes, neither of which believes the other one is even capable of acting in good faith. The news about healthcare reform last week was all about these gangs of hooligans disrupting town hall meetings, and various pundits and talking heads arguing over who's a Nazi and who's a brownshirt. No one has time to actually talk about the healthcare-reform proposals — it's all about the argument and the anger. How is anybody supposed to think seriously about healthcare reform when the newspapers and the cable news shows won't talk about anything but who is angry and who called whom a Nazi?
That's the kind of culture in which ignorance thrives. We've been stuck on stupid for quite a while now, and it shows no signs of improving anytime soon. I'm very worried about the future of America, because a democracy can't keep going forever on a steady diet of stupidity.
Sure, you can use this if you like.

Stram and Dump ought to get a room and continue to toss each other's salads properly.
At least you allow comments Dump, unlike Stram the Coward.
Dump, did you know Stram never uses his backyard, but hides in his garage, for fear someone might challenge him on his communist stance?
A blast from the past… a typical classy, thoughtful, and intelligent comment from Hank Dagny.
Hank, have you forgotten? You got banned from this site like a year and a half ago. You got banned for this very reason: all you ever contribute is a bunch of nasty personal insults. I understand that's how you "win" arguments, but nobody's arguing with you anymore.
Think of yourself as a vox clamantis in deserto if it makes you feel any better about yourself, but nobody's listening, buddy. Go find somebody else to insult.
You are not welcome to leave comments at Dum Pendebat Filius.

Now that's hilarious. Hank Dagny, the guy who frantically and comically closes his garage door before exiting his car when he sees me in that back yard. This from a guy who never crawls out of his house. Hank Dagny, the tough guy who when I show up at a family function wimpers, pouts to his wife and runs home whining.
I feel bad for you Filius for having to listen to that nutjob. I feel it's my fault. 'Hank' is definitely close to losing his mind. He's been out of work since last October and of course it's the liberals' fault. Seriously, Hank has gone schizo.
It's comical, and schizo, that he brings up my back yard. I am constantly, when not working, in my yard while on the other hand Hank is basically a hermit who never comes out of his house. We have almost one acre lots – I mow my own yard – he has a lawn service. I did a couple of fairly big landscaping projects this summer and he did nothing but sit on his flimsy ass playing video poker and reading his Limbaugh Letter all summer long.
So, sorry to bother you with this shit Filius. It all started up again this week when Schizo Hank answered some poor commenter, 'rev. ray' over at Liar's Quorum and Hank accused him of being 'Stram'. I couldn't help it – I should have ignored the little punk – but I chimed in and made him look like a fool again. He'll yelp on his keyboard for awhile and hide in his basement.

'The Office' Star Creed Bratton's New Role Is Scarier Than the Scranton Strangler and He's Ready for More
Television By TooFab Staff | 7/3/2019 1:19 PM PT
This Week In Celebrity Photos View Photos
Hulu/NBC
The sitcom alum is ready to go from lovable creep to downright creepy.
As Creed on "The Office," Creed Bratton -- yes, that's also his real name -- was a fan favorite. He was always slightly off, always funny and was maybe, just maybe, the Scranton Strangler.
But that's peanuts compared to his role in Hulu's latest installment of its horror anthology series, "Into the Dark: Culture Shock." The topical episode, which drops on the 4th of July, follows a Mexican immigrant who learns the "American Dream" may not be all its cracked up to be.
While we don't want to reveal too much about Bratton's role, it's safe to say it's a sinister one -- and one that really allowed him to branch into a totally new genre. "I don't think they're going to expect this," he said of "Office" aficionados who check out the episode. "I hope they're surprised. I hope they're surprised by it."
On his character's evil said, he admitted fans "don't expect that from me," warning that viewers will realize "right off the bat" that "something's really not right with his guy."
The 76-year-old actor and musician said he's not necessarily a fan of horror movies -- save for classics like "The Silence of the Lambs" and "Aliens" -- but had a ball playing a true villain. "They're so much fun," he said, adding he'd love to play more in the future.
"I think what'll be fun for me, is to play like Hannibal Lecter, ya know, an old cannibal killer," he said. "So old, he has to gum his victims. That might be something I'd do."
a Joker movie remake we can all agree on pic.twitter.com/EE0XL08Oay
@WorldWideWob
Another role he'd be into? The Joker.
Earlier this year, a fan made a mock poster using a shot of Creed in costume as Heath Ledger's Batman villain from "The Office's" 2008 Halloween episode, "Employee Transfer." When we showed him the image, he was obsessed.
"I would love to play him," said Bratton, who then repeated the character's iconic line, "Let's put a smile on that face," just like he did in 2008. According to the actor, his "Office" costars had no idea how he'd look when he showed up on set.
"They hadn't seen me," Bratton revealed. "The same thing with when I walked on the set the first time I had put the copier ink on my hair, none of the cast had seen me. That look on his face is shock. They hadn't seen me in the Joker. They kept me over there, and when I walk in from the side it was the first time they'd seen me in the Joker. And when I lay that line on them, you could see heads shaking going 'Ewww.'"
Watch the epic moment back below:
Bratton joked that that one scene was "the harbinger of me getting to do this bad guy role" in "Culture Shock," but his reasons behind doing the Hulu project all came down to the script.
"I couldn't put it down, talk about a page turner. And I called my agent and said please. I said, 'Let me go make a read for this.' They said, 'Really?' I said, 'No, it's a good script. It's a really good script.' And it's important too. I really felt it was important," he explained, touching on the timely themes of immigration in the piece.
"I hope that people come out of this thing seeing there's some travesties being committed to people and crimes against humanity," he added. "If this one little project we're all involved in helps change it to some ... it's that paradigm shift, you keep banging at it, and you keep banging at it, and you hope you can help something."
As for all the online theories that his "Office" alter ego was actually the so-called Scranton Strangler, that's one secret he'll never tell.
"Why would you ask me that," he said, getting deadly serious. "Is there a statute of limitations on murder? That's something my brand won't allow me to talk about that. I gotta keep that one in the hole."
Hulu's "Into the Dark: Culture Shock" drops Thursday, July 4.

Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity. Mental Health is an essential component of maintaining health.
Mental Health refers to emotional, psychological and social well-being. An individual's mental health impacts the way they think, feel and act, and affects one in every aspect of their life.
A compromised mental health can significantly impact a person's mood, relationships and professional career. Recognition of a mental health problem must be followed by seeking appropriate help to enable the individual to recover completely.
Mental disorders comprise a broad range of problems, with different symptoms. However, they are generally characterized by some combination of abnormal thoughts, emotions, behaviour and relationships with others. Examples are schizophrenia, depression, intellectual disabilities and disorders due to drug abuse. Most of these disorders can be successfully treated.
While individuals are often able to recognize something different in their mental and physical health, certain symptoms are noticeable even to outsiders or family members.
If you or your loved ones are reflecting the following symptoms, it is important to consult a psychiatrist and seek appropriate help.
Depression is a mood disorder caused by persistent feelings of sadness and a loss of interest.
Generalized Anxiety Disorder is marked by persistent feelings of anxiety that interfere with the day to day activities of an individual.
Anorexia Nervosa an eating disorder characterized by an abnormally low body weight, intense fear of gaining weight and a distorted perception of body weight. People with anorexia place extreme importance on their body weight.
Physical symptoms include extreme weight loss, thinner built, fatigue, insomnia, dizziness, hair thinning, and absence of menstruation, constipation, low blood pressure and dehydration. Other red flags to look out for include restricting food intake, denial of hunger, fear of gaining weight, lying about how much food has been eaten, eating foods low in calories, repeated weighing or measuring, not wanting to eat in public etc.
Bulimia Nervosa is a potentially life threatening disorder, characterized by binging- eating excessive food at once, and purging- inducing forced vomiting to free oneself of the guilt of eating. Non-purge bulimia might include excessive exercise, fasting or strict dieting.
Symptoms and signs often include preoccupation with body shape and weight, fear of gaining weight, skewed perception of one's body, using laxatives or diuretics after eating, eating excessive food until the point of discomfort.
Schizophrenia results in an abnormal interpretation of reality. Schizophrenia may result in some combination of hallucinations, delusions, and extremely disordered thinking and behavior that impairs daily functioning, and can be disabling.
It is marked by delusions or false beliefs, like thinking one has excessive power or fame. Hallucination include seeing, hearing, feeling or smelling things that do not exist, like feeling a snake crawl on your skin, smelling something burning, hearing 'voices'.
It is also marked by disorganized thinking where speech and communication is severely impaired or doesn't make sense. People with schizophrenia might also depict bizarre postures or a complete lack of response.
At an individual level, the recognition of a persisting problem plays a major role in overcoming it. Upon recognizing or identifying symptoms within oneself, it's important for an individual to communicate them to their family and seek out help from a licensed psychiatrist.
Upon the beginning of the treatment, it is important for one to see the treatment through the end and attempt lifestyle changes to improve mental health.

redshank - Summer plumage: upper parts pale brown closely streaked and barred with umber; secondaries nearly white; rump white, with a few dusky flecks; tail-feathers white barred with blackish; under parts white, streaked on the neck and breast with umber; legs and feet orange-red. Winter plumage: upper parts ash-colour; rump and under parts white, sparsely streaked and spotted with grey on the neck and breast. The female is slightly larger than the male. Length, eleven inches.
The redshank, although not so numerous as formerly, is still a fairly common bird of the tidal flats and saltings on the east coast of England, and, in smaller numbers, in all suitable localities in Great Britain and Ireland. It is resident throughout the year, but is most plentiful in autumn and winter, at which time its numbers are increased by the arrival of migrants from northern Europe. Its food consists of marine worms, insects, and small crustaceans, and when its feeding-grounds are covered at flood-tide, it may be seen in close flocks on the small, dry areas, waiting for the water to subside. When thus congregated the birds are very loquacious, keeping up a perpetual confused sound of many voices, which has been compared to the chirruping concert of a flock of house-sparrows before settling down to roost of an evening. When the tide goes out the flocks break up, and the birds scatter in all directions to feed. The redshank begins to breed about the end of May, in fens and inland marshes, and on the saltings, out of reach of the tide.
The nest is a slight depression in the ground, with a few dried bents and grass-blades for lining, or with no lining at all, and is in some cases quite exposed; but it is more often placed among coarse grass, or in the centre of a tussock, which conceals it from view. Four eggs are laid, of a yellowish grey ground-colour, blotched and spotted with purplish brown. When its breeding-haunts are approached the bird displays the greatest excitement, and flies circling about high above the intruder's head; and at such times a peculiar manner of flight, common to all the species of the genus Totanus, becomes very marked. The flight is slow and somewhat wavering, with an occasional downward stroke of the wings, which are much depressed, as of a duck about to drop on to the water. While flying in this way it clamours loudly, making the marsh ring with its shrill, piercing pipe, and at times dashes down close to the intruder's head, as if to intimidate him; and if there should be young, or eggs about to hatch, it drops on to the ground, and flutters along the surface like a wounded bird, in order to draw the danger away. Most birds in the order which includes the sandpipers, snipes, and plovers, make use of this device when their young are in danger.
At all times the redshank is a vigilant and clamorous bird, and as the meaning of its ringing alarm-note is understood by all waders and waterfowl, it is heartily detested by the gunners on the sea-coast.
