Microsoft: We have no plans to build our own phones
By Dan Graziano
Despite earlier reports, a Microsoft executive has stated that the software giant has no plans to build its own smartphone. Greg Sullivan, the senior marketing manager for Windows Phone, said the company has no plans to apply its self-branded tablet strategy to the smartphone market, Information Week reported. Microsoft will instead rely on its hardware partners, HTC, Nokia, Samsung and Huawei. "We have a strong ecosystem of partners that we are very satisfied with," Sullivan said on Friday, adding that the Redmond-based company is "stoked" for the next-generation of Windows Phone handsets. Microsoft could still potentially enter the hardware business, however, through an acquisition of troubled Finnish handset-maker Nokia.

Los guaibasáuridos (Guaibasauridae) son una familia de dinosaurios saurisquios posiblemente basal a la división entre terópodos y sauropodomorfos, que vivieron a finales del período Triásico, hace aproximadamente 225 millones de años en el Carniense, en lo que es hoy Sudamérica y posiblemente Europa.
La apariencia y clasificación exacta de Guaibasauridae es incierta. La familia fue originalmente propuesta por José Fernando Bonaparte et al. en 1999 conteniendo un solo género y especie, Guaibasaurus candelariensis. Cuando un segundo espécimen de Guaibasaurus fue descrito a partir de mejores restos en 2007, se hizo más fácil compararlo a otros saurisquios tempranos enigmáticos, que son a menudo difíciles de clasificar porque combinan características de los dos grupos saurisquios principales, Theropoda y Sauropodomorpha. Bonaparte et al., a la luz de la información ganada de este segundo espécimen, encontró que el género Saturnalia, que es muy similar a Guaibasaurus, podría ser asignado a Guaibasauridae, aunque no presentaron un análisis filogenético ni definieron a Guaibasauridae como un clado. Los investigadores también asignaron tentativamente el género mal conocido Agnosphitys a esta familia.

Bonaparte et al. encontraron que los guaibasáuridos tienen más características en común con los terópodos que con los sauropodomorfos tempranos o prosaurópodos. Debido a esto, según Bonaparte, es más probable que sea un grupo muy basal en la rama que lleva hacia sauropodomorfos, o un grupo ancestral a los sauropodomorfos y a los terópodos. Además, los autores interpretan esto como evidencia que el antepasado común de ambos linajes de saurisquios era más similar a los terópodos que a los prosaurópodos.

Private Raymond Opsomer was the son of François Opsomer and Marie-Louise Van Autreve. He was born in Deinze on 17 December 1891 and lived with his parents near the Congosquare in the city center. As a youngster, he started working in a local bakery. Together with is brother René Gustaf he decided to emmigrate to America in pursuit of happiness in the early 1900s.
On 15 October 1909, he moved to Wayne County, Michigan, which is near Detroit. His older brother Marcel Alexander joined him there in 1910. Little did they know that the First World War would begin soon after their arrival in the United States. When the US declared war, Raymond felt it was his duty to join the American army. He was assigned to the 113th Infantry Regiment of the 33rd Division.
Opsomer's regiment arrived in France in mid-May 1918, and was assigned for training to the 19th corps of the British Fourth Army near Amiens and the Somme River. On 8 August 1918, the Battle of Amiens began, the opening phase of the allied offensive that would ultimately bring the war to an end. Raymond would not be so lucky to see the end of the war. He perished in that battle on 12 August 1918 at Vaux-sur-Somme. He was 27 years old. At the request of his family, his body was returned to Deinze following the war.

Third Grade Centerpiece Workshop Thurs, Dec 20th!
The third grade team would like to invite you to a very special holiday craft. It is sure to be a lot of fun and you will have a beautiful centerpiece and wonderful memories to take home with you for the holidays!
Container : (A Cool whip container or similarly sized container works best) *Please send a container in (with your child's name on it) as soon as possible. If you have any extra containers at home that you are willing to donate, please send those in as well.
Small garden clippers: (*For adult use only) We will need to trim the tree clippings as the students create their masterpieces. We always seem to be in need of more scissors or clippers to cut the trimmings. Please consider bringing some in, if you have them. *Important: Please do not send clippers in to school with your child.
Evergreen tree clippings and accents: These clippings will make your child's centerpiece special and unique. Please cut and send in/bring in different tree clippings. Don't worry if you don't have a diverse Evergreen selection in your yard. Bring whatever you have. Plenty of sharing and trading goes on. If anyone has a Holly bush, the branches with red berries make great centerpiece accents. *Don't cut the clippings too early. (The closer to the 21st, the better.) If cut too early, they will dry out and the centerpiece won't last as long. Please do not send the clippings in to school before the 21st.
Volunteers to run the hot glue stations: Each class will need approximately two or three volunteers to help run the hot glue/ribbon stations.
We are really looking forward to this festive activity and we hope that you will be able to join us. If you have any questions or if you are willing to help out with the planning, preparation or stations for this day, please contact Jodi Stupakevich (jstupakevich@rsd17.org). Thank you!


Immigration policy is a hot topic in UK politics, but is it actually costing British jobs?
In a recent interview Ann Coulter claimed: America has already taken in one-fourth of Mexico's entire population. Is this true?


The Above and Beyond Celebration held April 11, 2018, in Grace Covell Hall, honored the accomplishments of 33 non-traditional students from across the university who are earning their bachelor's degree at Commencement on May 12.
The Above and Beyond Celebration, held each year before Commencement, is an event that brings together graduating non-traditional undergraduate students from across the university to celebrate their achievements. While all Pacific students follow unique paths to and through their college educations, the non-traditional students honored at the Above and Beyond Celebration are adult learners who are 25 years and older. Most of these 90 students did not follow a direct path from high school to college and straight through to graduation. Some started college as traditional students, but life events, work or other opportunities intervened; others followed a different path and arrived at college later in life.
At this event, Pacific celebrates the accomplishments of these students who have successfully juggled the demands of being a student alongside of the responsibilities of being spouses, parents, full-time workers, and active community members. Among the students honored for 2018, more than one first enrolled in college more than 25 years ago, several have attended at least three other institutions, most have full-time work experience including military service. More than half are first-generation college students who will be the first in their family to graduate from college. Twenty of them are parents, and a third of that number are single parents. All have brought to Pacific valuable life experience and varied perspectives that have enhanced their own education and enriched the classroom environment for their classmates and their professors.
Almost unanimously, these students report that the biggest challenge they faced in their time at Pacific was the school/work/family/life balance. But now that the finish line is in sight they all say that it was worth it, and not just because of the degree.
One of the graduates will get the ultimate Mothers' Day gift this year; she and her daughter both will graduate from Pacific at Commencement on May 12. Another student noted, "There is enjoyment and confidence in working hard towards a vision. Putting in effort and pushing your comfort zone builds you and that is worth more than the degree."
Many also cited the importance of the support of so many faculty and other members of the university community who have taught and mentored them, guided and prodded them, pushed them to succeed, and helped pull them over the finish line.
Andrew Cardwell is earning his Bachelor of Music Degree in Music Performance at the Conservatory of Music and is headed to a teaching assistantship at the University of New Mexico, Albuquerque, where he will work toward a master's degree. He eventually hopes to open a nonprofit brass and percussion studio and offer free music lessons to young people. He expressed his thanks to Jonathan Latta, Chief of Staff to the President and former assistant dean of the Conservatory and lecturer in percussion. "He helped me understand my capabilities as a musician and inspired me to continue pushing forward when times have been tough," said Cardwell.
Mallory Alorro, completing her bachelor's degree with a double major in history and social sciences in the College of the Pacific, is planning to enter the teaching credential program in the Gladys L. Benerd School of Education. She expressed her thanks to the entire history department. "Every professor helped me regain confidence in my academics and helped me find my footing," Alorro said.
Pacific congratulates these students upon their upcoming graduation, and honors their perseverance and commitment to achieving their dreams.

The Elements of Our Nature
The Elements of Our Nature are what make up who we are. Everything from the best attributes, talents, and expressions to the dark side of personality, our shadow parts, and those reactions from ego. Yet when we look at ourselves or even look at others, it tends to be from a place of judgment, harshness, and limitation. Why? Because as part of the human condition, we tend to categorize things: 'Good' or 'Bad', 'Right' or 'Wrong', 'Positive' or 'Negative', 'Acceptable' or 'Unacceptable', 'Guilty' or 'Innocent', 'Sin' or 'Go(o)dness'.
This categorization is something we learned to do, not something that is TRUTH. We have been taught by society, images, elders, and ancestors that if something is not one thing, it has to be the other. Hence, division and separation occur where it was not. What if everything just IS? What if the 'illusion' is that we have to break beyond everything that has been taught in order to establish a new way of being, regardless of what the rest of the world thinks? What if 'individuality' that is willing to take a stand for 'unity' makes the difference between a bold new world and one that remains trapped in its cycle of self-battery.
The themes of each issue of 11:11 thus far are billboards of what is required to turn toward the Light. (Jan/Feb 08) A Return to Innocence (Mar/April 08) Strength, Longevity, & Grace (May/June 08) Hope The Seed of Humankind (July/Aug 08) Freedom Living in the Flow (Sept/Oct 08) Mastering…Elements of Our Nature to come to a place of (Nov/Dec 08) Oneness. It is a very simple formula but requires fully embracing all of those themes on a day to day, moment by moment, second into second way of living.
In coaching training, there is a term, 'Seeing the Loving Essence', that is utilized with every circumstance, situation, and person that one comes across. It is an approach where you truly recognize the Godliness of the person, the deed, or the situation at hand. In 'Seeing the Loving Essence' you respond, rather than react, from a place of love, compassion, and fullness. There is no room here for judgment, harshness, or limitation simply because you will be living from your 'God-self' instead of your human condition. How? How does one do this?
You begin with YOU. Can you see yourself from the Loving Essence? Can you release judgment for any and all past actions? Can you express gentleness, love, and compassion for who you have been and are becoming? Can you open yourself to receiving a life of fullness and flavor instead of remaining stuck in lack, limitation, regret, and victim hood? Are you willing to turn every "seemingly bad or hurtful' event in your life into a place of empowerment by relishing from it all of the lessons, abilities, and strengths you gained? It is time to embrace all of who you are and celebrate! It is the moment to become conscious that every place of gentleness is as much a gem as a place of anger. Without both, we would not be whole. Instead of just existing as who you are Master the Elements of Your Nature! Let YOUR Light come thru you and express creatively. Give back to this planet what you were brought here to do so that we may integrate as ONE! YOU are a part of ME as much as I am a part of YOU.
All You have to do is BELIEVE…Beyond the Illusions!!!

Rambles through Terezín
Poems and tales
Long live republic ŠKID
BLOCK H IV - THE PODMOKLY BARRACKS
The ''Podmokly (Bodenbach) Barracks'', in the beginning housing for the prisoners, and the ''Schleuse''. This was a specific Trezin expression for the place all transports had to pass, they were registered here and their luggage was being checked (in the particular at arrival in the Ghetto). In July 1943, the barracks were emptied and consequently used by the Archives of the RSHA from Berlin.
It was the wish of every prisoner in Terezín, first, that sof would soon come, and second, that he would get a parcel. The former must be left to fate, so we shall deal with the latter. Let us look at how such a parcel comes into being. It is a long, long story. First we must get a summons to the transport department for permission to send a Zulassungsmarke. Next, we send this to a relative, or an acquaintance who is only part Jewish. When the poor wretch gets the stamp, he can do two things. Either he says to himself that he hasn't got the money to go looking for things in short supply, and sells the stamp to somebody else for a high price. In this case, of course, the poor inmate of Terezín can wait an eternity, and his dream will never be fulfilled. Or, the adventurous benefactor may start looking for something to send. There are two ways he can do this. Either he will start looking for "nebbich" goods, that is, bread, potatoes, horseradish, or such like, or (what luck for the poor chap in the ghetto) he can take a lot of trouble over the parcel and track down dripping, butter, flour, etc. When this ceremony (the hunt) is over, he must pack that parcel. Naturally, that has to be done with great care, for God forbid the parcel should come open on its way. Then he posts it, and his task is done. As soon as the happy recipient in the ghetto gets his notification, he gathers a platoon of men to come and help him. At the post office he gets in line, and when his turn comes he pays his fifty crowns and he receives his parcel, full of joy at the size of it. Once home, he immediately flings himself upon the contents and, with Epicurean delight, gobbles up the various delicacies and sings the praise of the people who took pity on him. He sends off a letter of thanks in the hope that very soon he won't have to accept gifts from strangers and that he will be a free man again.
Don Herberto (Herbert Fischl)
AN EXCURSION TO THE PODMOKLY BARRACKS
On Wednesday, November 3 (1943), I decided to have a look into the mysteries surrounding a citizen of Terezín and go to the Podmokly barracks. We began by going to Mrs. Laubová to ask her to sew our stars on firmly. Then we went through our pockets to make sure we had no contraband, and then set out on our merry way. When we got to the barracks my colleague Fischl saw a uniformed man and was so scared he ran about twenty meters. Finally, with God's help, we entered the home of the Terezín dictators Podmokly. The yard was in a terrible mess. The Israelites were assiduously pretending to work and walking nonchalantly past the gentlemen from the SS with their hands in their pockets. We entered the spacious hall of the former Zeughaus (arsenal), now a furniture warehouse. There we found hundreds of beautiful wardrobes, couches, tables, etc. lying about. Next we went up to the first floor where we saw a cinema under construction. A lot of people were running about and shouting at each other, for it was supposed to open the following day and wasn't finished yet. When we had had a good look at the beauty of the cinema and all its fixtures we went to the kitchen. There we found many "aryan females" running about in white aprons and white caps (as they do in the ghetto kitchens) busy at the two stoves, making browning for soup. The delightful scent of grilled sausage pervaded the kitchen. In the adjoining room were two boilers where soup and the other courses were being prepared for the entire Belegschaft. Out of interest we mention that the lunch menu consisted of soup, roast potatoes, potato salad and grilled sausage. Partly because our mouths were watering and also because we heard some suspicious shouting outside we left the kitchen, walked quickly through the barracks and outside so that we wouldn't catch hell.

NCBC GULFPORT
KEESLER AFB
Our Military - NCBC Gulfport
At Naval Construction Battalion Center Gulfport
You can find Naval Construction Battalion Center Gulfport on the beachfront of the Gulf of Mexico, in Harrison County in the city of Gulfport, Mississippi. The center is home to the Atlantic Fleet Seabees, known as the East Coast Seabees. NCBC Gulfport is in the middle of the intermodal system that includes the Mississippi State Port of Gulfport, the Gulfport-Biloxi International Airport, Interstate 10 and a regional rail system. New Orleans is only 90 miles west.
NCBC Gulfport sits on 1,100 acres. The center hosts 39 tenants, more than 4,400 active-duty personnel and their families, 6,400 retirees and their families, plus nearly 800 DOD civilians. The center stores millions of dollars in gear and equipment on 500 acres of warehouse space, which contains everything a Seabee battalion needs to deploy — from trucks and weapons to bulldozers and cranes as well as food, ammunition and communications equipment.
The center exists to maintain and operate facilities and provide services and material in support of Naval Construction Force units, to include Amphibious Construction Fleet units, the Maritime Prepositioning Force (enhanced), and other fleet and assigned organizational units deployed from or homeported at NCBC Gulfport, and to perform such other functions and tasks as may be assigned by higher authority.
On June 2, 1942, an Advanced Base Depot was established in Gulfport and the first Seabees started arriving. In 1992, the center celebrated its 50th anniversary on the Gulf Coast. Today, the Seabees occupy a special place throughout the mid-South. The men and women of the center have been honored for their distinguished community service and awarded the prestigious Laurel Wreath Award for significant contributions to local communities.
Land for the installation was acquired on a plot a mile northwest of the Port of Gulfport in April 1942, and an Advanced Base Depot was established June 2, 1942, in Gulfport. An Armed Guard School and a Cooks and Bakers School were added in October 1942, followed by an advanced base receiving barracks in November, at which time some of the first Seabees were stationed on the Mississippi Gulf Coast.
The mission of the center changed from a receiving organization to a U.S. Naval Training Center in March 1944, and provided for training in basic engineering, diesel, radioman, quartermaster and electrician ratings. Continuing realignments occurred, creating a single command of the Naval Training Center and the Advanced Base Depot. The depot became the U.S. Naval Storehouse in 1945 and the training center was decommissioned in 1946. In 1948, the station became custodian of certain national stockpile materials. Bauxite, tin, copper, sisal and abaca were stored at the center in varying quantities. Huge piles of bauxite, the imported ore from which aluminum is extracted, covered an estimated 24 of the center's 1,098 acres. The last of the red dirt was shipped off base at the end of 2003 to be made into aluminum. The low-grade ore was given to the United States in 1948 as a war debt payment by the Netherlands East Indies, now known as Indonesia. Alcoa bought the ore in 2000 for $1 million. Hauling it away cost about $6 million.
People who have been on the coast for some time report that there were times when some 25,000 naval personnel were stationed at the center. They lived in wooden barracks, tents and Quonset huts. The population between the late 1940s and early 1960s dropped to about 10 officers and enlisted personnel. Civilian employees fluctuated with the amount of strategic supplies and construction equipment being received, stored and transshipped.
Some important organizational changes were made early in 1952 when the Naval Storehouse was disestablished and the U.S. Naval Construction Battalion Center was established.
The Navy's mushrooming commitments for construction forces in Southeast Asia led the way to an increased mission for the center in February 1966. The first group of 509 Seabees arrived unannounced from Davisville, Rhode Island, in March 1966. The galley, barracks and other personnel support facilities were still closed and locked. A base fireman, with a knack for cooking, was hastily recruited to prepare fried chicken and mashed potatoes. Other civilian employees opened the barracks, turned on gas and electricity, installed bunks and served as mess cooks.
The 20th Naval Construction Regiment was recommissioned April 17, 1966, nearly two decades after its decommissioning following World War II. The regiment was re-established to support the buildup of the Naval Construction Force during the United States' involvement in Vietnam.
Eight months later, the center had expanded to include new functions such as Seabee team training and a new tenant, the Construction Training Unit. The staff for the Naval Construction Battalion Center had expanded to 183 military and 523 civilian personnel to support approximately 4,200 Seabees. A personnel training facility, inactive for 20 years, was effectively forming, staging, training and homeporting naval mobile construction battalions.
After the terrorist attacks on Sept. 11, 2001, the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq called for more Seabees to be added to the force. The 20th Naval Construction Regiment became the 20th Seabee Readiness Group on Jan. 9, 2003, in order to more effectively function as the training arm of the Atlantic Fleet Seabees.
On Sept. 14, 2007, in an attempt to meet the overwhelming demand for Naval Construction Forces throughout the world, Naval Mobile Construction Battalion 11, which was decommissioned Dec. 15, 1969, and the 25th Naval Construction Regiment, which was deactivated Nov. 30, 1945, were recommissioned in Gulfport.
The Naval Mobilization Processing Site was also established. The site has processed thousands of active-duty personnel and reservists through Gulfport. The Expeditionary Combat Skills site was also stood up. Since 2008, ECS has trained thousands of Navy personnel in essential life-saving battlefield skills.
Contributing to the local community is a Seabee norm. Seabee volunteers have contributed hundreds of thousands of volunteer hours assisting in the local community since Hurricane Katrina, and they continue to be a good neighbor answering various requests for help from the local community on a daily basis. In the midst of the Gulf Coast recovery process, the Seabee Center built more than $450 million worth of new facilities as a result of damage caused by Hurricane Katrina. Permanent repairs, which included the Military Construction Program Recapitalization Plan, were completed in 2009.
Like the landscape of the base, NCBC Gulfport's tenants have changed. With the drawdown in Afghanistan and tighter budgets, force reductions and restructuring needed to occur. On Sept. 5, 2012, Naval Mobile Construction Battalion 7 was decommissioned. Six months later, on Feb. 26, 2013, a significant realignment and decommissioning ceremony took place. Prior to the ceremony, the base and 20th Seabee Readiness Group were governed by one commanding officer. The ceremony saw the two separated under two commanding officers and the decommissioning of the 25th Naval Construction Regiment. The 20th Seabee Readiness Group was renamed Naval Construction Group 2 as part of the massive Naval Construction Force restructuring. Included in the transformation, the 22nd Naval Construction Regiment became an embedded yet independent command capable of the forward deployment of an integrated battle staff that is able to execute combat service support missions across the spectrum of joint and combined military operations while providing command and control over Navy Expeditionary Combat Command units as part of a robust adaptive force package.
NCBC Gulfport is home to the Atlantic Fleet Seabees. The active units currently stationed at the base include:
• Naval Construction Group 2.
• 22nd Naval Construction Regiment.
• Inspector-instructor staff.
• Naval and Marine Corps Reserve Center.
• Naval Construction Training Center.
• Naval Mobile Construction Battalion 1.
• Naval Mobile Construction Battalion 11.
• Naval Mobile Construction Battalion 133.
There are also 39 tenants who call the base home.

NBHC Gulfport is one of 10 branch clinics assigned to Naval Hospital Pensacola. Services include dentistry, immunizations, a laboratory, physical therapy and radiology.
Dental care is available for active-duty military. Family members of active-duty personnel are encouraged to use the TRICARE Dental Program. Program information is available by visiting www.tricare.mil/CoveredServices/Dental/TDP.
TRICARE is the health care program for active-duty and retired service members, their families and survivors. TRICARE provides health plans, prescriptions, dental plans and other special health programs to its beneficiaries. TRICARE's mission is to enhance the Department of Defense and the nation's security by providing health support for the full range of military operations and sustaining the health of all those entrusted to their care.
TRICARE offers a range of health care plans. TRICARE Prime is the mandatory health care option for active-duty service members. Family members of active-duty service members, retired service members and their families may also use this option. If you use TRICARE Prime, you are assigned a primary care manager at a military or network provider who delivers most of your care. If you need care your PCM cannot provide, you are referred to a specialist. Active-duty service members and their families pay nothing out of pocket for this option; however, there is less freedom to choose your provider. On Jan. 1, 2018, TRICARE Standard and Extra were combined into a new plan, TRICARE Select. Select is a standardized fee-for-service plan available to family members of active-duty service members, retired service members and their families. After you enroll in TRICARE Select, you may schedule an appointment with any TRICARE-authorized provider. Referrals are not required, but you may need prior authorization from your regional contractor for some services. You will pay a copay or cost share based on the type of care and provider you see. Costs for Select vary, but you will pay an annual deductible as well as a percentage of covered services. Non-network providers may charge up to 15 percent more than the TRICARE allowable charge; you are responsible for these extra charges. TRICARE also offers plans for remote and overseas locations, reserve military members, young adults who are no longer covered under regular TRICARE coverage and other scenarios.
TRICARE coverage is completely portable, so it moves with you when you relocate. Follow these simple steps to ensure you have no break in coverage when you move:
Do not cancel your TRICARE Prime enrollment option before you move.
Update your personal information in DEERS immediately when you arrive at your new location.
Select a new primary care manager.
If you are already using TRICARE Select, moving is easy. When you arrive at your new location, update your personal information in DEERS. Then find TRICARE-authorized providers in your new area. Remember, you may have a new regional contractor and claims filing address.
TRICARE's online tools can help you find and compare plans that you are qualified to use. Beginning in 2019, however, TRICARE will allow you to switch between plans only if you have a "qualifying life event" such as the birth of a baby or a move. For a complete description of the types of coverage programs and regions, visit www.tricare.mil. For more information about recent changes to TRICARE, visit https://tricare.mil/changes.

A fiduciary may not collect a fee from a beneficiary for any month with respect to which the Secretary or a court of competent jurisdiction has determined that the fiduciary misused all or part of the individual's benefit, and any amount so collected by the fiduciary as a fee for such month shall be treated as a misused part of the individual's benefit.
For purposes of this chapter, misuse of benefits by a fiduciary occurs in any case in which the fiduciary receives payment, under any of laws administered by the Secretary, for the use and benefit of a beneficiary and uses such payment, or any part thereof, for a use other than for the use and benefit of such beneficiary or that beneficiary's dependents. Retention by a fiduciary of an amount of a benefit payment as a fiduciary fee or commission, or as attorney's fees (including expenses) and court costs, if authorized by the Secretary or a court of competent jurisdiction, shall be considered to be for the use or benefit of such beneficiary.
The Secretary may prescribe by regulation the meaning of the term "use and benefit" for purposes of this section.
Section applicable with respect to any determinations by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs made after Dec. 10, 2004, of misuse of funds by a fiduciary, see section 507(b)(2) of Pub. L. 108–454, set out as an Effective Date of 2004 Amendment note under section 5312 of this title.


Hey QI Elves and Fans!
Is that a gecko's tail or a skink's? It looked a bit like a skink to me.
I'll try and get a shot of one. There's always some running around the house.
A couple of hours after I posted that, my cat had a gecko trapped in the bath. It persistently hung onto its tail, even when the dog came to see what the fuss was about. Maybe my geckos are just dumb.
I am curious to know if it's known as a skink, because until you mentioned them, I had always considered them geckos. I had never heard of skinks before. Most people I know call them geckos.
If it can walk up the wall it's a gecko, if it can't, we'll say it's a skink.
Dunno. Skinks can do some walls, if there's some grip. But geckos manage windows and ceilings too.

Media Scoundrels on the Wrong Side of History
Famed journalist George Seldes (1890 - 1995) called them "prostitutes of the press." Paul Craig Roberts calls them "presstitutes." They're that and much more. They're propagandists, not journalists. They're charlatans. They're scam artists. They're blackguards. They're scoundrels in the worst sense of the term. They make street whores look respectable by comparison. They're paid to lie, distort, misinform, and blame imperial victims for horrendous crimes committed against them. They support powerful monied interests. They ignore popular ones. They march in lockstep with imperial lawlessness.
AJ Liebling (1904 - 1963) once said: "Freedom of the press is guaranteed only to those who own one." He added: "People everywhere confuse what they read in newspapers with news."
Western television is worst of all. It's a wasteland. Educator/media critic Neil Postman (1931 - 2003) called Americans "the most entertained and least informed people in the world." In 1950, Boston University President Daniel Marsh said: "If the (television) craze continues...we are destined to have a nation of morons." Comedian Ernie Kovacks (1919 - 1962) once said he knew why television is called a medium - "because it's neither rare or well done."
Media critic George Gerbner said mainstream media "have everything to sell and nothing to tell." Investigative journalist IF Stone (1907 - 1989) once said: "All governments are run by liars and nothing they say should be believed." The same holds for media scoundrels. Integrity isn't their long suit. Media scholar/critic Robert McChesney said "the corporate media system...generates a depoliticized society."
People are misinformed. They deliberately deceived. They're told what powerful interests want them to believe. They're fed a pack of lies, distortion and falsified rubbish. "The corruption of journalistic integrity is always bad," McChesney added. Today it's "obscene under conditions of extreme media concentration..."
When America seeks another imperial trophy, it's worst of all. Media scoundrels march in lockstep with lawlessness. They carpet bomb readers and viewers with managed news misinformation garbage.
The New York Times stands out. - It does so disgracefully. It's the closest thing in America to an official ministry of information and propaganda. It misreporting masquerades as real news, commentary and analysis. It has global clout. Its main stories get worldwide attention. The so-called Paper of Record has a long, deplorable history. It supports what demands condemnation. It does so consistently. It backs wrong over right.
A January 2013 open letter to Times editors was this writer's most widely ever read article by far. It touched a raw nerve. It confronted Times editors head-on. It did so over why they consistently back wrong over right. It challenged them to report responsibly.
It said doing so is its own reward. It offered a checklist of responsible policies. It urged they support:
■ putting money back in public hands where it belongs;
■ progressive policies;
■ social justice;
■ curbing corporate power;
■ full compliance with rule of law principles;
■ getting money entirely out of politics;
■ aiding impoverished millions;
■ running free, fair and open elections;
■ letting independent candidates compete freely;
■ ecological sanity over financial gain;
■ strengthening the disappearing middle class;
■ universal healthcare;
■ public education;
■ organized labor rights;
■ protecting human and civil rights;
■ shutting down predatory banks;
■ prosecuting corporate crooks;
■ prosecuting government ones to the highest levels; and
■ ending corporate personhood.
It urged condemning bipartisan, anti-democratic policies. It called for denouncing imperial lawlessness. Does it bother you, it asked? Does human suffering matter? Is business as usual OK? What about backing what growing millions call a pariah state? Is this the America you support? Dare you call it beautiful? It's by far the worst human and civil rights abuser in world history. It's the most corrupt. It's the most lawless. It's the most unprincipled. It's the most dismissive of what matters most. It's the real evil empire. It threatens world peace. It threatens humanity's survival. Resisting it is a moral imperative.
Why don't Times editors support right over wrong? Why don't they publish "All the News That's Fit to Print" for real? Why do they violate their own journalistic ethics? Why do they do so consistently? Why do they willfully misinform? Why does their reporting lack credibility, accuracy, fairness, integrity, independence and accountability? Why does it support imperial lawlessness? Why does it promote war over peace? Why doesn't serving readers responsibly matter most? Why doesn't reporting the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth without exception every time?
Throughout months of conflict in Ukraine, Times editors, contributors, commentators and correspondents one-sidedly supported fascist street thugs. They outrageously consider mob rule democratic governance. They oppose Vladimir Putin's principled position. They bash him mercilessly. They do it irresponsibly. They do it repeatedly.
A previous article discussed their March 2 editorial. They headlined "Russia's Aggression." They lied. They distorted. They misinformed. They suppressed vital information. They ignored clear facts refuting their arguments. They back Washington's orchestrated imperial lawlessness. They do it every time. They twist facts to fit their position. They turn truth on its head doing so. They betray their readers in the process. Their columnists and contributors operate the same way.
David Brooks' columns aren't fit to read. They're biased. They lack journalistic integrity. They support what demands denunciation. "On March 3, he headlined "Putin Can't Stop." He outrageously accused him of "throwing his weight around the world." He forthrightly seeks peace. He wants conflicts resolved equitably. He respects rule of law principles. He believes obeying them is fundamental. He calls national sovereignty inviolable. He opposes imperial lawlessness. Not Brooks. He nonsensically calls Ukraine's US-backed fascist coup "a dispute." "Western policymakers..may not be dealing with a 'normal' regime' " in Moscow, he claims. It's led by a "cynical and cold-eyed host" he added. He irresponsibly bashed the one world leader challenging imperial America responsibly. He's our best chance for world peace. Don't expect Brooks to explain.
Roger Cohen is no different. He's shameless. He's one of many Times imperial apologists. BDS co-founder Omar Barghouti calls him a bigot. On March 3, he headlined "Putin's Crimean Crime," saying: "The Russian seizure of control of the Crimean Peninsula, a clear violation of the very international law Putin likes to invoke, has turned Ukraine into a European tinderbox." He called his reason for responsibly wanting to protect Russian nationals "baloney, a trumped-up Russian case." He lied saying so. He did so willfully. He did it maliciously. He supports US-backed fascist coup plotters.
He ignores clear facts. Ukraine's legitimate President Viktor Yanukovych wrote Putin. He requested help. He did so to restore law and order. "Under the influence of Western countries, there are open acts of terror and violence" ongoing, he said. "People are being persecuted for language and political reasons. So in this regard I would call on the President of Russia, Mr. Putin, asking him to use the armed forces of the Russian Federation to establish legitimacy, peace, law and order, stability and defend the people of Ukraine," he added.
At the same time, the safety and security of Russian nationals are threatened. Their lives are in danger. Putin wants them protected. He didn't invade Crimea. He seized nothing. Obama bears full responsibility for "turn(ing) Ukraine into a European tinderbox." Complicit EU partners share it.
Cohen turned truth on its head. He willfully lied. He did it deceitfully. He turned a blind eye to Washington's imperial lawlessness. He continued, saying: "Putin's obsession with a (Soviet Russia) 20th-century order..blinds him to the passionate attachment to their nationhood of states liberated from stifling Soviet subjection." "There is a grotesque amnesia to Russia's Ukrainian gambit."
Cohen's best of all possible worlds are dystopian wastelands. They're unfit to live in. Don't expect him to explain. He urges hardline US policy. "Pivot to Asia cannot mean abandonment of Ukraine," he said. "Every form of diplomatic, trade and economic pressure should now be mustered by Obama to isolate Putin," he added. He wants "every political means used to buttress the Kiev government; and NATO's readiness to defend its members should be ostentatiously underscored." He represents the lunatic fringe. He practically endorsed war. He supports fascist mob rule in Ukraine. He ignored US-supported neo-Nazis toppling a democratically elected government. He turned a blind eye to their lawless power grab.
Cohen is mindless of rule of law principles. So are Times editors. Their position shocks the conscience of everyone valuing fundamental freedoms. Real democratic governance in so-called liberated states is a convenient illusion. The worst of neoliberal harshness is policy. Mass impoverishment, unemployment and extreme deprivation harm millions. Rule of law principles are disappearing in America. They're eroding across Europe. Ukrainian fascists abolished them altogether. Don't expect Times editors to explain. Or wealth and power supporters like Brooks, Cohen, and likeminded Times contributors. Challenging them responsibly more than ever is needed. Humanity's fate hangs in the balance.

Q: Need help using python subprocess module to navigate Linux directories First off, I know there are FAR better ways to do this. I'm trying to learn the most basic behavior of subprocess.Popen() when it interacts with various UNIX commands. I'm doing something wrong with directory navigation, and I have no idea what it is. I'm running iPython as my REPL, so the ls command shows the files in the current working directory.
Someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong!
In [61]: newtree_dirs
Out[61]:
['10dir',
 '1dir',
 '2dir',
 '3dir',
 '4dir',
 '5dir',
 '6dir',
 '7dir',
 '8dir',
 '9dir']

In [62]: ls
10dir/  1dir/  2dir/  3dir/  4dir/  5dir/  6dir/  7dir/  8dir/  9dir/

    ...:     for num in foo:
    ...:         p2 = sub.Popen(['touch', '{}file'.format(num)])
    ...:         p2.communicate()
    ...:     p3 = sub.Popen(['cd', '..'])
    ...:     p3.communicate()

      5     for num in bar:

after that exception, further exceptions descend into the subprocess module's error handling for a missing directory. The directory names in my cwd are identical and I don't know what's going on.

A: sub.Popen(['cd', './10dir') raises "OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory" because there is no such file named cd on your $PATH (and possibly on your computer at all). cd is not a stand alone executable, it's a shell builtin. If it were a stand alone executable it wouldn't be able to change the current working directory of the shell (or of your script for that matter) because a child process can't directly change it's parent's current working directory, environment variables, user id etc.
More info:
builtin vs normal command
Note: Technically to be POSIX complient in addition to the shell builtin cd an OS must provide a stand alone executable cd that changes it's own current directory and returns, but many Linux distributions don't include it. Source: Why is cd not a program?
