"There are not many people that are even aware of the existence of pharaoh ants, let alone that they are invading homes and businesses all over the United States. We are more familiar with carpenter ants, pavement ants, fire ants, and we are quite familiar with the common odorous house ants, but not the pharaoh ant."
"It is true that mother nature provides most of what an ant may need, or want for that matter. Outdoors there is food, water, and shelter, and as far as most ants are concerned, that habitat is just perfect so there is no real need to go anywhere else. That is where the pharaoh ant is unique. Pharaoh ants prefer to nest indoors, and it is for this very reason that they can become a significant…"
"Pharaoh ants (Monomorium pharaonis), which have been called Pharaoh's ants by some, due to a mistaken assumption that these ants were one of the plagues unleashed on Pharaoh in the Bible, are not much to look at all by themselves. At a mere 1.5 to 2 mm (1/16 of an inch) you might be tempted to wonder how these ants could have ever been considered a plague. But, pharaoh ants don't work alone. A…"

Eight Precepts with Right Livelihood as the Eighth
Right Concentration
Ajahn Suwat Suvaco
Translated from the Thai by
In general terms, Right Concentration means establishing the mind rightly. On one level, this can apply to all the factors of the path. You have to start out by setting the mind on Right View. In other words, you use your discernment to gather together all the Dhamma you've heard. Then when you set the mind on Right Resolve, that's also a way of establishing it rightly. Then you set it on Right Speech, speaking only things that are right. You set it on Right Action, examining your actions and then forcing yourself, watching over yourself, to keep your actions firmly in line with what's right. As for Right Livelihood, you set your mind on making your livelihood exclusively in a right way. You're firm in not making a livelihood in ways that are wrong, not acting in ways that are wrong, not speaking in ways that are corrupt and wrong. You won't make any effort in ways that go off the path, you won't be mindful in ways that lie outside the path. You'll keep being mindful in ways that stay on the path. You make this vow to yourself as a firm determination. This is one level of establishing the mind rightly.
But what I want to talk about today is Right Concentration in the area of meditation: in other words, Right Meditation, both in the area of tranquillity meditation and insight meditation. You use the techniques of tranquillity meditation to bring the mind to stillness. When you make the mind still, firm in skillful qualities, that's one aspect of Right Concentration. If the mind isn't firmly established in skillful qualities, it can't grow still. If unskillful qualities arise in the mind, it can't settle down and enter concentration. This is why, when the Buddha describes the mind entering concentration, he says, "Vivicceva kamehi": Quite secluded from sensual preoccupations. The mind isn't involved, doesn't incline itself toward sights that will give rise to infatuation and desire. It doesn't incline itself toward sounds that it likes, toward aromas, tastes, or tactile sensations for which it feels infatuation through the power of desire. At the same time, it doesn't incline itself toward desire for those things. Before the mind can settle into concentration, it has to let go of these five types of preoccupations. This is called vivicceva kamehi, quite secluded from sensual preoccupations.
Vivicca akusalehi dhammehi: quite secluded from the unskillful qualities called the five Hindrances. For example, the first Hindrance: sensual desire. When you sit in meditation and a defilement arises in the mind, when you think of something and feel desire for an internal or an external form, when you get infatuated with the things you've seen and known in the past, that's called sensual desire.
Or if you think of something that makes you dissatisfied to the point of feeling ill will for certain people or objects: that's the Hindrance of ill will. Things from the past that upset you suddenly arise again in the present, barge their way in to obstruct the stillness of your mind. When the mind gets upset in this way, that's an unskillful mental state that forms an obstruction to concentration.
Or sloth and torpor: a sense of laziness and inattentiveness when the mind isn't intent on its work and so lets go out of laziness and carelessness. It gets drowsy so that it can't be intent on its meditation. You sit here thinking buddho, buddho, but instead of focusing the mind to get it firmly established so that it can gain knowledge and understanding from its buddho, you throw buddho away to go play with something else. As awareness gets more refined, you get drowsy and fall asleep or else let delusion overcome the mind. This is an unskillful mental state called sloth and torpor.
Then there's restlessness and anxiety, when mindfulness isn't keeping control over things, and the mind follows its preoccupations as they shoot out to things that you like and don't like. The normal state of people's minds is that, when mindfulness isn't in charge, the mind can't sit still. It's bound to keep thinking about 108 different sorts of things. So when you're practicing concentration you have to exercise restraint, you have to be careful that the mind doesn't get scattered about. You have to be mindful of the present and alert to the present, too. When you try to keep buddho in mind, you have to be alert at the same time to watch over your buddho. Or if you're going to be mindful of the parts of the body -- like hair of the head, hair of the body, nails, teeth, skin -- you should focus on only one part at a time, making sure that you're both mindful and alert to your mindfulness, to make sure you don't go being mindful of other things. That's how you can cut off restlessness and anxiety.
As you keep being mindful for of the same thing for a long time, the body will gradually calm down and relax. The preoccupations of the mind will calm down, too, so that the mind can grow still. It grows still because you keep it under control. You weaken its unruliness -- as when you pull fuel away from a burning fire. As you keep pulling away the fuel, the fire gradually grows weaker and weaker. And what's the fuel for the mind's unruliness? Forgetfulness. Inattentiveness. This inattentiveness is the fuel both for restlessness and anxiety and for sloth and torpor. When you keep mindfulness and alertness in charge, you cut away forgetfulness and inattentiveness. As these forms of delusion are subdued, they lose their power. They gradually disband, leaving nothing but awareness of buddho or whatever your meditation object is. As you keep looking after your meditation object firmly, without growing inattentive, restlessness will disappear. Drowsiness will disappear. The mind will get firmly established in Right Concentration.
This is how you enter Right Concentration. You have to depend on both mindfulness and alertness together. Right Concentration can't simply arise on its own. It needs supporting factors. The first seven factors of the path are the supporters for Right Concentration, or its requisites, the things it needs to depend on. It needs Right View, Right Resolve, Right Speech, Right Action, Right Livelihood, Right Effort, and Right Mindfulness. As you keep developing the beginning factors of the path, concentration becomes more and more refined, step by step. When the mind is trained and suffused with these qualities, it's able to let go of sensual preoccupations, able to let go of unskillful mental qualities. Vivicceva kamehi vivicca akusalehi dhammehi. When it's secluded from sensual preoccupations, secluded from unskillful qualities, it can enter concentration. It experiences stillness, rapture, pleasure, singleness of preoccupation. Both body and mind feel light.
In the first stage, the mind isn't totally refined because it still has directed thought and evaluation in the factors of its concentration. If your mindfulness is in good shape and keeps its object in mind without pulling away, if your effort is right and alertness keeps watching over things, the coarser parts of your concentration will drop away and the mind will grow more refined step by step. Directed thought and evaluation -- the coarser parts -- will drop away because they can't follow into that more refined stage. All that's left is rapture, pleasure, and singleness of preoccupation. As you keep on meditating without let-up, things keep growing more refined step by step. Rapture, which is coarser than pleasure, will drop away, leaving the pleasure. Pleasure is coarser than equanimity. As you keep contemplating while the mind grows more refined, the pleasure will disappear, leaving just equanimity. As long as there's still pleasure, equanimity can't arise. As long as the mind is still feeding off pleasure, it's still with something coarse. But as you keep up your persistent effort until you see that this pleasure still comes under the Three Characteristics of inconstancy, stress, and not-self, that it's part of the aggregate of feeling, the mind will let go of that coarser aspect and settle down with equanimity. Even though equanimity, too, is part of the feeling aggregate, it's a feeling refined enough to cleanse the mind to the point where can give rise to knowledge of refined levels of Dhamma.
When the mind reaches this level, it's firm and unwavering because it's totally neutral. It doesn't waver when the eye sees a form, the ear hears a sound, the nose smells an aroma, the tongue tastes a flavor, the body feels a tactile sensation, or an idea comes to the mind. None of these things can make the mind waver when it's in the factors of jhana. It maintains a high level of purity. This is Right Concentration.
We should all develop tranquillity meditation, which can give temporary respite from suffering and stress. But in a state like this, you simply have mindfulness in charge. Discernment is still too weak to uproot the most refined levels of defilement (kilesa) and latent tendencies (anusaya). Thus, for our Right Concentration to be complete, we're taught not to get carried away with the sense of pleasure it brings. When the mind has been still for an appropriate amount of time, we should then apply the mind to contemplating the five aggregates, for these aggregates are the basis for insight meditation. You can't develop insight meditation outside of the five aggregates -- the aggregates of form, feeling, perception, thought-fabrications, and consciousness -- for these aggregates lie right within us. They're right next to us, with us at all times.
So. How do you develop the aggregate of form as a basis for insight meditation? You have to see it clearly in line with its truth that form is inconstant. This is how you begin. As you develop insight meditation, you have to contemplate down to the details. What is form? Form covers hair of the head, hair of the body, nails, teeth, skin, and all the four great elements that we can touch and see. As for subsidiary forms, they can't be seen with the eye, but they can be touched, and they depend on the four great elements. For example, sound is a type of form, a type of subsidiary form. Aromas, flavors, tactile sensations are subsidiary forms that depend on the four great elements. The sensory powers of the eye, ear, nose, tongue, and body are subsidiary forms -- they're physical events, not mental events, you know. Then there are masculinity and femininity, which fashion the body to be male or female, and create differences in male and female voices, manners, and other characteristics. Then there's the heart, and then viññati-rupa, which allows for the body to move, for speech to be spoken.
So the Buddha taught that we should contemplate form in all its aspects so as to gain the insight that will enable us to withdraw all our clinging assumptions that say that they're us or ours. How does this happen? When we contemplate, we'll see that yam kiñci rupam atitanagata-paccuppannam: all form -- past, future, or present; internal or external; blatant or subtle; common or sublime; far or near -- is inconstant, stressful, and not-self. It all lies under the Three Characteristics. When we remember this, that's called pariyatti-dhamma, the Dhamma of study. When we actually take things apart and contemplate them one by one to the point where we gain true knowledge and vision, that's called the practice of insight meditation, the discernment that arises in line with the way things really are.
This is a short explanation of insight meditation, focused just on the aggregate of form. As for feeling -- the pleasures, pains, and feelings of neither pleasure nor pain within us -- once we've truly seen form, we'll see that the same things apply to feeling. It's inconstant. When it's inconstant, it'll have to make us undergo suffering and stress because of that inconstancy. We'll be piling suffering on top of suffering. Actually, there's no reason why the mind should suffer from these things, but we still manage to make ourselves suffer because of them. Even though they're not-self, there's suffering because we don't know. There's inconstancy because we don't know. Unless we develop insight meditation to see clearly and know truly, we won't be able to destroy the subtle, latent tendency of ignorance, the latent tendency of becoming, the latent tendency of sensuality within ourselves.
But if we're able to develop insight meditation to the point where we see form clearly in terms of the Three Characteristics of inconstancy, stress, and not-self, then disenchantment will arise. When the latent tendencies of ignorance and becoming are destroyed, the latent tendency of sensuality will have no place to stand. There's nothing it can fabricate, for there's no delusion. When ignorance disbands, fabrications disband. When fabrications disband, all the suffering that depends on fabrication will have to disband as well.
This is why we should practice meditation in line with the factors of the noble eightfold path as set down by the Buddha. To condense it even further, there are three trainings: virtue, concentration, and discernment. Virtue -- exercising restraint over our words and deeds -- is part of the path. Tranquillity meditation and insight meditation come under concentration. So virtue, concentration, and discernment cover the path. Or if you want to condense things even further, there are physical phenomena and mental phenomena -- i.e., the body and mind. When we correctly understand the characteristics of the body, we'll see into the ways the body and mind are interrelated. Then we'll be able to separate them out. We'll see what's not-self and what isn't not-self. Things in and of themselves aren't not-self, for they each have an in-and-of-themselves. It's not the case that there's nothing there at all. If there were nothing there at all, how would there be contact? Think about it. Take the fire element: who could destroy it? Even though it's not-self, it's got an in-and-of-itself. The same holds true with the other elements. In other words, these things still exist, simply that there's no more clinging.
So I ask that you understand this and then put it correctly into practice so as to meet with happiness and progress.
That's enough explanation for now. Keep on meditating until the time is up.

"If music be the food of love, play on. So Shakespeare gloriously states in Twelfth Night." Music can also play an important role in religious expression, allowing devotees to have an immediate emotional and connection and response to the teachings and events marking significant moments in the religion's development and daily life. It can be as simple as the beating of drums to accompany a dance and song invoking the spirits, natural forces, or the gods. It can be as complex as an oratorio or requiem composed by Bach, Beethoven, or Verdi. It can be as contemplative and sublime as Gregorian chanting.

Experiences in Meditation
Chris Kang
It was eight years ago, amid the material comforts of city living and the demanding pressures of academic pursuits, that I first encountered the gentle and profound teachings of the Buddha. At that time a natural curiosity about the nature of the mind, and encounters with the concepts of biology and theoretical physics, had awakened in me a healthy appetite for intellectual nourishment.
In general terms, Right Concentration means establishing the mind rightly. On one level, this can apply to all the factors of the path. You have to start out by setting the mind on Right View. In other words, you use your discernment to gather together all the Dhamma you've heard. Then when you set the mind on Right Resolve, that's also a way of establishing it rightly. Then you set it on Right Speech, speaking only things that are right.
Beginning Insight Meditation
Dorothy Figen
For the beginning meditator I believe it would be helpful to establish an order in the various steps taken in meditation. First, then, it would be wise to establish a place of quiet to which one may retire daily and not be interrupted in his endeavors. Then wash carefully face, hands and feet. Better yet, if time permits, take a cleansing shower and put on loose, comfortable clothes. It is wise to meditate at the same time daily to establish a habit.

Avoid a Twitty Day With Lessons Learned From the Air Force and Roseanne Barr
James E. Brooks June 1, 2018
Two tweets heard around the Internet the past two weeks show federal workers the power of social media to turn your day pretty "twitty."
One tarnished Air Force professionalism and the other got television celebrity, Roseanne Barr, fired.
256 characters can do a lot of damage.
What can you learn from these mistakes?
LIVE BY YOUR BRAND
The U.S. Air Force social media masters in Washington, DC took advantage of the #Yanny or #Laurel viral video phenomena. Media widely reported this sound phenomena where some people heard one name and others heard something different. The Air Force followed a social media best practice by piggybacking on trending topic or hashtag to promote the service.
Unfortunately in this case, tying an Air Force military air strike with this trending topic resulted in collateral damage: a professional military organization making light of their reputation as a lethal force. There is no humor in warfighting missions especially when operations involve killing. Creating the hashtag #BRRRT only added to the tweet being pushed further in social media in retweets.
Federal organizations like the military services must be mindful of their reputation. To borrow from Warren Buffet's wisdom on reputation: "It takes 71 years to build a reputation [U.S. Air Force was founded in 1947] and one tweet to ruin it. If you think about that, you'll do things differently."
Was there another option to leverage this trending topic for a more positive outcome? Absolutely. For example, this sound phenomena trending topic could highlight an Air Force department or career field where listening skills are vital to the mission. Airborne surveillance and health- hearing conservation programs are two examples that might not otherwise be "newsworthy" but may shine in the Yanny-Laurel trend.
Like the professional military force they are, the social media team removed the offending tweet, acknowledged the mistake and apologized.
THINK BEFORE YOU TWEET
Roseanne Barr is unemployed today because of a single tweet.
Tweeting the wrong thing will cost a federal employee their job, too.
Keeping in mind your brand is the first step. Thinking before you tweet is the second person in the "two-man rule" of social media. Yes, it can be as serious as launching a nuclear missile.
Barr's tweet was a reply. It was also sent at 1:45 a.m. in the morning. Who's online at that time?
Twitter is a public forum and more than a few federal workers lost jobs because something they said or a picture posted not meant for a public forum was shared in an online discussion. While online discussions may be perceived as one between two or three other followers, everybody is listening. The rush to defend, to contribute, to demonstrate your prowess comes with a price. Think before you tweet.
One way federal workers can avoid this trap is to schedule tweets or replies. There are many applications available such as Hootsuite that allow scheduled tweets. Your scheduled response to an aggravating user may not sound as intelligent or humorous several hours later had it been spontaneously sent.
SOCIAL MEDIA PROFILE: ARE YOU A FEDERAL WORKER OR A PRIVATE INDIVIDUAL?
Taxpayers expect more from federal workers whose salaries are paid by tax dollars. The Hatch Act, ethics rules and agency social media policies, provide strict guidelines on what can be shared on social media and whether social media can be used at all.
Reduce your professional risk on social media. Following a "two-man" rule of brand consideration and thinking before you tweet can go a step further: remove any association of government service from your personal social media profiles. Don't promote your work or agency. Military members should avoid a profile photo in uniform. More importantly, weigh the risk of whether you should tweet in the workplace, on government time.
Social media is a great tool but how you use it ultimately comes down to WHAT content you want to share with the public. Your career and reputation is a terrible thing to waste by one tweet.
Don't make your day twitty.

I love the "twitty day" phrase and I was also unaware of the U.S. Air Force tweet. This article really brings to light just how important it is to be careful what you're posting, no matter what time of the day it is or what's trending. Thanks for sharing.

Blame Her, Shame Her and Erase Her
ABC Entertainment's decision to cancel Roseanne Barr's show because of her racist tweets against Valerie Jarrett, senior advisor to former President Obama, reminds us of how little we understand about the redemptive value of inclusion.
In 2015, Dr. Maria Dixon Hall, an associate professor of organizational communication at Southern Methodist University taught me an unforgettable inclusion lesson as she responded to the University of Oklahoma's expulsion of two students who led a racist chant that was secretly filmed on video. She seared in my mind this notion that we think we can sustain a zero tolerance for racism by blaming, shaming and erasing racists from the conversation.
Blame Her
It is hard to argue with this one. Barr was caught in the act. As referees say the ball does not lie and neither does Twitter. Yet, ABC had to know what they were getting with Barr since her hand had been caught in the cookie jar several previous times when it comes to making offensive remarks.
Shame Her
Not much disagreement here. However, the question is how much shame is enough? Obviously, some of the shame was self-inflicted but are some people in this conversation piling on here of late. Who among us can claim they have never uttered a vulgarity?
Erase Her
I think ABC had too much of a knee jerk, amygdala hijack moment regarding this incident and forgot about what kind of outcome did they want for everyone involved. This swift justice response to offensiveness is rooted in our own hesitancy to stay in long conversations about race. We are more concerned about intervention and fixing people as opposed to extended dialogue about how to prevent this problem.
Sure, they have gotten rid of the bad apple. But what lessons did Barr receive. After apologizing on Twitter for her racist comments, she later started throwing her former cast members under the same bus she was crushed by after they opined on the situation.
Inclusion is ultimately about second chances. Just as Roseanne Barr should not be labeled as a racist for the rest of her life if she confesses, repents and compensates for her sins, neither should we be unwilling to forgive her for the rest of our lives.
Inclusion happens at the intersection of redemption and conversion.
•	Redemption-we all want social primacy, affiliation and connection even when we fail.
•	Conversion-we all have the capacity to change we just need a little help along the way.
My wish for the Roseanne Barr and all of us is that we find our redemption and conversion so that the next time this happens, we won't talk about zero tolerance but about universal forgiveness.

Expert Reviews for the Newest Albums
in Rock, Alternative, Hip-Hop, EDM, and More
T2 Trainspotting Original Motion Picture Soundtrack
It's nowhere near as influential as the original, but it's got a great fucking personality
on March 23, 2017, 6:21pm
"Personality, I mean that's what counts, right," Sick Boy (Jonny Lee Miller) rhetorically asks his fellow Scottish skagboys in Danny Boyle's 1996 black comedy Trainspotting. "That's what keeps a relationship going through the years. Like heroin, I mean heroin's got a great fucking personality." It's rough logic, but it's logic nonetheless, and something that comes to mind while listening to the meticulously designed soundtrack to the film's highly anticipated sequel, T2 Trainspotting. Because really, personality is all this album needed to have going for it, and rest assured, this album's fucking heroin.
Most critics would agree that it's nearly impossible to followup an iconic film, but what so many people often forget is how it's even more tantalizing trying to followup an iconic soundtrack. While you can sell audiences on the idea of reuniting with their favorite stars on-screen, you can't recapture a movement, which is what iconic soundtracks tend to do, and it's much, much harder to create another one. Fortunately for T2 Trainspotting, Boyle wasn't interested in trying to top the original soundtrack, focusing instead on cultivating a collection of sounds that stayed true to the film's spirit.
This is something the Oscar-winning filmmaker touched upon in our recent, early morning interview: "As you sort of gather at the foothills of what you're going to do, people start saying: 'Soundtrack's really gonna be good, yeah? I really liked the first one.' And you go, 'Fucking hell.' But you have to forget about all that eventually and aim for what you want regardless of what will be successful, or otherwise it's the cart before the horse. What we wanted was to have the ability to touch the original soundtrack without feeling slavish, like we were repeating ourselves." This is exactly what he did.
Whereas the original film's two-volume soundtrack works like a Beginner's Guide to English Pop, thanks to choice cuts by Brian Eno, New Order, Primal Scream, Underworld, Blur, Pulp, Elastica, and, bloody hell, even David Bowie, the second film's soundtrack would be dubbed A Midlife Crisis in High Volume. It's a hodgepodge of veteran heroes like Blondie ("Dreaming"), Queen ("Radio Ga Ga"), Frankie Goes to Hollywood ("Relax"), The Clash ("(White Man) In Hammersmith Palais"), and Run-DMC ("It's Like That") wedged alongside newer gems by Wolf Alice, High Contrast, and Young Fathers.
(Ranking: Every Danny Boyle Film From Worst to Best)
In between those are a couple familiar cuts from the original film, twisted and shaken up for the new millennium. Underworld's signature theme "Born Slippy" pops some valium and hits the pillow with a remix titled "Slow Slippy", which scores a number of hard-hitting sequences in the film that'll hit the jugular, while The Prodigy straps on a diesel engine to Iggy Pop's punk shlock anthem "Lust For Life" with amicable results. Both selections seemingly underline the film's running theme that everything has changed, and yet nothing has changed. They're bursts of nostalgia that surprisingly sound fresh.
Again, personality reigns, because a cursory glance at the album's tracklist would have you believe this is an absolute clusterfuck — after all, there's a track by Irish comedy hip-hop duo The Rubberbandits right smack in the middle. Yet such eclecticism happens to be its strong suit, and winds up embellishing the strengths of its younger selections. Young Fathers, in particular, are an outstanding addition. The Edinburgh, Mercury Prize-winning outfit sound like a hipper, edgier version of TV on the Radio, and vibrant songs like "Get Up", "Only God Knows", and "Rain and Shine" are total earworms.
(CoSign: Wolf Alice Have a Thousand Sounds and Passion to Spare)
Of course, the tastiest hit off this spoon belongs to London rockers Wolf Alice, whose popular single "Silk" serves as this film's "Born Slippy", ably capturing the mood and vibe of the story. Singer Ellie Rowsell's poppy verses — in particular: "Got to stay cool, you hot, hot head/ Count to a thousand before you sleep in bed/ Read the news, pass the time/ Drink the juice, feeling fine/ "At least you're not boring"/ No one ever wants to feel this sad, ohh" — sound as if we're listening to the soul of Mark Renton (Ewan McGregor), offering up another one of his Choose Life monologues. It's beautifully fucking illustrated.
Sadly, T2 Trainspotting exists at a time when soundtracks aren't exactly a thing anymore. What used to make the medium so powerful was their ability to connect listeners with artists and songs they had never heard before. Yet in the age of Spotify, YouTube, and Apple Music, all anyone has to do is cross reference the tracklists of IMDb with whatever search bar they're subscribed to, and if we're being really cynical, they don't even need a subscription. Ironically, that makes this soundtrack even more spiritually aligned with the film, as much like the skagboys, it, too, is staring at obsolescence.
The whole thing exists as an act of memorial.

Q: what is the name of event? i wanna make event when i click on element and move cursor to another element then release cursor.
i made it using mouseup and mousedown events.
but some time mouseup not work!!!
the cursor change to hand and cant release it on another element.
for(var i=0;i<20;i++) {
   for(var j=0;j<20;j++) {
      var circle = document.createElement("div");
      circle.setAttribute("class","circle");
      circle.setAttribute("id",20*(i-1)+j);
      circle.setAttribute("style","left:"+(35*(j+1)+20*j)+"px;top:"+(10*(i+1)+20*i)+"px;");
      circle.addEventListener("mouseup",function() { ...});
      circle.addEventListener("mousedown",function() { ...});
      body.appendChild(circle);

    }
}

A: If you mousedown and then mousemove away from the element, the mouseup event never fires.
Try adding preventDefault() to your mousedown handler...
  circle.addEventListener("mousedown",function(e) { e.preventDefault(); ... });

You may also try binding the mouseleave event to trigger the mouseup

African leaders must step up commitments to supporting girls' education, especially during crises!
by Doris Mpoumou, AU Representative and Pan-Africa Office Director, Save the Children International
Nyakat is a 15-year-old South-Sudanese refugee girl who lives in a camp in Gambella, Ethiopia. In 2014, she fled the war in her home town Juba with her younger brother and found refuge in Kenya. In 2015, she and her brother reunited with their mother in Dawe Camp in Gambella. Save the Children invited Nyakat as a guest speaker to a High-Level Event on Education in Emergencies where she spoke about the extraordinary challenges that refugee children, especially girls, face as they pursue their right to education.
As Nyakat started her statement, the room, filled with over 100 people including education ministers high level AU officials and CSO representatives, went silent. Everyone's attention was focused on this young girl delivering a simple but powerful message.
Nyakat described the inadequate conditions under which learning is nearly impossible. She spoke about the 150 classmates who on a daily basis fought each other to find a seat and the insufficient number of classrooms and teachers. She also talked about missing school a few days a month during her menstrual cycle
Education is a basic need in emergency situations
While her voice was frail, her message was loud and powerful. Nyakat is 15 years old. She is in 8th grade but reads like a second-grade student. For those listening to her, it could not get any more real. It was clear that as a community we have failed Nyakat, despite her thirst to learn.
Numerous studies have showed that for children, education is as important as food and shelter in humanitarian settings as it brings a sense of normality. For this reason, education should be integral to the basic package of services that refugees and internally displaced persons (IDPs) receive in emergencies. Yet the implementation of these findings hardly find their way into programs and projects in refugees and IDPs camps.
Like most children, Nyakat has big dreams. In her concluding statement, she told us she wanted to become a pilot and asked for our support.
Why are girls left behind when it comes to access to quality education?
The importance of education for girls and boys cannot be overstated. While boys' education is universally taken for granted, some communities continue to discriminate against girls 'education. As a result of multiple factors, more than 17.8 million girls out of 32.6 million children of primary school age were out of school in 2015 in sub-Africa.
The barriers to girls' education include gender stereotypes, child marriage, teaching methods that disadvantage girls; lack of access to sanitary pads and private changing areas and sanitary facilities; teachers' lower expectations for girls, especially in sciences and math; sexual harassment, abuse and violence from teachers or other school personnel, poverty, as well as crises and conflicts. Yet we know failure to invest and provide quality education to girls bring about transformational changes and positive benefits to Africa's growth and development, including dividends to peace and stability.
Girls' education is left further behind in crises and conflict settings
These factors are exacerbated in crisis and conflict settings. An estimated 17 million girls and boys are denied education because of attacks on schools in many areas affected by conflict in Africa. Between 2009 and 2015, 910 schools were attacked and destroyed in Northern Nigeria.
Abduction and sexual violence during conflicts severely impair girls' opportunities to learn as evidenced by the abduction of 276 schoolgirls by Boko Haram in Northern Nigeria, many of whom were raped and as a result, some have become mothers prematurely.
This of course led to low performance and increased school dropouts. Also, during conflicts, there is an increase in child marriage, which is perceived by parents as a measure to protect their girl child against atrocities as well as a coping mechanism to generate income in times of crisis.
Similarly, early pregnancy due to sexual violence against girls in conflict settings further decreases their already low chances of completing their education.
Investing in girls' education, especially in humanitarian settings, is not optional
The benefits of investing in girls' education are well known. In addition to contributing to the education of future generations, children of educated mothers are less likely to die before five. In Africa, a child born to a woman with no education has one chance in five of dying before the age of five. Evidence shows that primary and secondary education can significantly contribute to reducing child and maternal mortality.
Similarly, increased education of girls can not only contribute to greater girls and women's participation in leadership positions in parliaments and boardrooms but also lead to fewer child marriages, which will typically happen later in the girls' life cycle when they can make informed decisions about their bodies as well as bear and care for children.
To achieve SDG4 and Aspiration 6.52 of the African Union Agenda 2063 on education, it is critical to ensure that children left behind, especially refugee girls, have access to quality education. The reality is that due to limited funding, access to quality education for refugee children is too often unequal and uneven. That's why Save the Children support the Global Partnership for Education and its call for developing country government and development partners alike to step up domestic (up to 205 or more of general government expenditure) and external financing to education, and to put resources where they are needed most. The complementary role of external financing is to leverage domestic resources, so that no child is left behind. Crisis should not mean an end to education but its continuation. The African Union Summit and moments like the GPE replenishment is an opportunity to show strong financing commitment and bold steps to ensure girls in crisis situations receive a quality education
Nyakat's dream to become a pilot is a reminder that she will not let her refugee status determine her future. Now the question is: to what extent refugee host countries and the international community are willing to pay adequate attention to developing Nyakat's and other refugee children skills, capacity, thought process, and expertise through empowering them with access to opportunities, relevant information, as well as quality, and affordable education? This is needed in order to fully make these children the drivers, and not just bystanders, of development in Africa.
What can AU Members States do at the AU Summit?
At the AU Summit, being held in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia from 27 June to 4 July, Member States are engaging in a general debate on Harnessing the Demographic Dividend Through Investment in youth, the annual theme for 2017.
First, as they focus on youth, it is essential to remind them that investing in young people is imperative given the current demographic structure of our continent; yet, it is not sufficient to rip the demographic dividend. Investing in children is equally important to ensure a vibrant youth.
Second, to achieve SDG4 and Agenda 2063 Aspiration 6, governments must invest in quality education of children furthest left behind, especially girls caught in humanitarian crises and conflicts.
Third, children and adolescents affected by crises must continue to learn and have access to quality education services, including secondary and tertiary education within a month of their displacement.
Finally, we call upon the international community, regional and financial institutions, the private sector and other donors to fulfil their commitments made in support of the Comprehensive Refugee Response Framework and during other global, international and bilateral events.

Peloponnese West Corridor grid deviation still awaiting approval
Ministry promoting new model to 'utilize' energy companies
An ongoing dispute between energy minister Panos Skourletis and the TAIPED (State Privatization Fund) chief Stergios Pitsiorlas over the latter's intention to privatize 17 percent of the main power utility PPC, currently controlled by the Greek State with a 51.12 percent share, is just the tip of the iceberg that conceals wider, more substantial differences.
TAIPED's leadership is basing its privatization intentions on agreements reached by Greece's preceding administrations with the country's lenders, the energy minister argues. Besides the sale of PPC's 17 percent, this privatization agenda also includes selling 66 percent of DEPA (Public Gas Corporation) and 35 percent of ELPE (Hellenic Petroleum). On the contrary, the energy ministry, attempting to revise this plan, is promoting a wider utilization strategy for the country's energy companies in which the Greek State holds stakes. The Syriza-led coalition's new super-privatization fund in the making, which would demote TAIPED as a subsidiary, will generally seek to utilize rather than sell.
Comments offered by various energy ministry officials to energypress converge on a view supporting that the sale of the Greek State's stakes in companies such as PPC, ELPE, DEPA, IPTO, the power grid operator, and DESFA, the natural gas grid operator, will not add to the economy's value, as could be the case with OLP, the Piraeus Port Authority. Moreover, utilizing the Greek State's energy-sector stakes through more intelligent means, the stock exchange being a key element, could attract investments, offer multiplying effects and establish energy companies as a growth tool for the economy, the energy ministry officials contend.
Instead of selling the Greek State's 35 percent of ELPE, energy ministry officials believe the company should be bolstered by broadening its activites and maintaining its stakes in the natural gas sector, or DEPA and DESFA, assuming the gas operator is not eventually sold to Socar. ELPE holds 35 percent stakes in DEPA and DESFA.
As for PPC, rather than sell a 17 percent stake, the energy ministry intends to establish at least one partnership with a private-sector firm. The utility will provide existing facilities and be a minority shareholder.
The ministry's plan for IPTO, entailing the transfer of a 51 percent stake from parent company PPC to the Greek State, a sale of 24 percent to a strategic investor, and the remaining 25 percent through the bourse, is already in progress.
The ministry has not questioned its obligation to complete a sale procedure offering 66 percent of DESFA to Azeri energy firm Socar, the winning bidder of an international tender completed in 2013. It was delayed by European Commission intervention demanding that Socar surrender 17 percent to a certified European operator. Most recently, an amendment drafted by Skourletis and his team, limiting DESFA's network usage fee hikes, and, therefore, the operator's revenue potential, has upset Socar officials, who appear set to withdraw, without any legal repercussions, as two years have elapsed since the tender's completion.
Skourletis, who argues that the government inherited the DESFA sale plan from previous administrations, has not hidden his preference for a relaunch based on the IPTO model.

Q: Proof of the Principle of Transfinite Induction for On Principle of Transfinite Induction for On:
If $C\neq\varnothing, C\subseteq$ On then $\exists\alpha\in C\forall\beta\in C[\alpha\in\beta\vee\alpha=\beta]$
Proof:
(1) As $C\neq\varnothing$, let $\alpha_0\in C$ .
(2) If for no $\beta\in C$ do we have $\beta\in\alpha_0$ then $\alpha_0$ was the $\in$-minimal element of $C$.
(3) Otherwise we have that $C\cap\alpha_0\neq\varnothing$. As $\alpha_0\in$ On, by definition $\in$ wellorders $\alpha_0$.
(4) Hence $C\cap\alpha_0$ is non-empty and so has an $\in$ minimal element $\alpha_1$; and then $\alpha_1$ is the minimal element of $C$.
I understand the general argument, but I am confused about $C\cap\alpha_0\neq\varnothing$ on line (3).
If $\alpha_0$ is the $\in$-minimal element of $C$ does that mean $C\cap\alpha_0=\varnothing$? If so, why?

A: Note that (3) begins with "Otherwise", meaning if $\alpha_0$ wasn't the minimal element of $C$, then $C\cap\alpha_0\neq\varnothing$ and in which case $\alpha_1=\min\alpha_0\cap C$ is also the minimal ordinal in $C$.

Inclusive Design - a people centred strategy for innovation
A practical introduction to Inclusive Design for Businesses & Designers - how to get started!
Aftenposten Junior was launched to meet an increasing demand to convey news in an easily understandable manner to children and youth. The solution was a quality product on par with the best media available to adults, except that it was designed with children in mind.
People with the most needs often get less attention.
Today, children are constantly exposed to a stream of information primarily through digital media. However, the entire Norwegian media industry have disregarded them as consumers of serious news. The chief editor of Aftenposten accepted the challenge in 2011, when it was decided that Aftenposten had to take its social mission more seriously and give children news in a way that matched their needs.
As the target group now takes high-information, low-threshold design of Aftenposten Junior for granted, the team must strive to keep up with developments in order to maintain a loyal readership and attract new readers. Several of the visual techniques are well-known in sales promoting marketing, but have been adapted for a socially useful project. The project shows how Inclusive Design can help address challenges associated with communication across age, cultural and ethnically-diverse communities.
From the start of the project, the editorial staff have carried out regular user interviews during both the planning and verification phase of each publication.
The target group is mainly primary and lower secondary school children. An example of the feedback is: "If it doesn't look good, I can't be bothered to read it."
The visual expression was therefore the all-important element to make the newspaper accessible and appealing to the target group. It quickly became clear that they wanted the news to be explained to them, but that such a service did not exist.
Children do not just react to visual stimuli, but are also extremely tactile. They want thick paper that they can draw on and tear up. Offering print newspapers to a target group that mainly consumes digital media was revealed as an advantage during interviews. Many parents restrict the time children spend on digital devices, therefore sitting with a print newspaper was considered positive. In addition, children find it exciting to get something in the post and like collecting print newspapers in a file.
The universal design of news is not just about tactility and the visual, but the use of language in a way that reaches out to everyone. Aftenposten Junior does not point the finger, but offers balanced journalism. Getting down to the details of an issue whilst maintaining the key elements without over-simplifying, is an art. The editorial staff can explain the challenging ideas with the right tools.
"We pry into an incredibly complicated world. Writing briefly and in a user-friendly and comprehensible way requires extensive work. We read a lot about conveying news to children, which is also their democratic right. Children accept the world as it is and that nothing can be done about it. But, of course, with knowledge it can be changed. They discover the power of participation and impact," says Chief Editor, Guri Leyell Skedsmo.
By utilising the power of graphic design tools, the newspaper has become a success and is now used by both children and adults including non-native speakers of Norwegian. It has become an important platform for presenting Norwegian language, society and culture to anyone needing simple and direct communication that does not lose the essential messages.
Aftenposten Junior has noticed that others are following suit. Although the design was developed five years ago, the principles have stood the test of time showing that a universally designed framework can be used in different ways, and lead to radically creative outputs. The visual techniques make it easier to absorb more intense news items.
The designers and editorial staff have developed a set of tools to convey news using different types of input. Tags, titles and images function as part of the main text or just as a 'fact box'. The explanation of words, captions and other individual elements play an important role when brought together. Questions and answers are presented in an interview format to allow the reader to concentrate as well as reflect on what they are looking at. They also used cartoons with great success to deliver an innovative way of conveying news that is easily transferable to other media.

 element. I have only one problem that is that I can't use textarea.selectionStart, textarea.selectionEnd, textarea.setSelectionRange() anymore. Are there any method to get and set the selection range for a div element in dart ? Or a way to get the caret position ?

A: import 'dart:html' as dom;

dom.Range range;
dom.DivElement editable;

void main() {
  editable = (dom.document.querySelector('#editable') as dom.DivElement);
  dom.document.onSelectionChange.listen(getRange);
}

void getRange(dom.Event e) {
  if(dom.document.activeElement != editable) {
    return;
  }

  dom.Selection sel = dom.window.getSelection();
  if(sel != null) {
    range = sel.getRangeAt(0);
    print('${range.startOffset} ${range.endOffset}');
  }
}

Raids net ten arrests in Britain
MANCHESTER, England - Ten people were arrested on suspicion of terrorism in police raids in this northern British city and other parts of the country Monday as authorities also searched a number of buildings and businesses.
Greater Manchester Police said the 10 were take into custody "on suspicion of being concerned in the commission, preparation or instigation of acts of terrorism."
Assistant Chief Constable Dave Whatton said the suspects were of North African and Iraqi Kurdish origin. Seven were arrested in Manchester and three elsewhere in central and northern England.
Whatton told the British Broadcasting Corp. that the arrests were "part of an ongoing operation" against terrorism.
Police also searched several properties in Manchester, including the Dolphin takeaway restaurant, which was under police guard.
The force said officers from the Staffordshire, West Midlands and South Yorkshire Police forces also were involved in the operation.
Suspects can be detained without charges for a maximum of two weeks under anti-terrorism laws, but courts grant police that permission only a few days at a time.
Officers refused to comment on what prompted the raids or with whom the suspects were thought to have ties.
Last month police arrested nine men and seized more than half a ton of potentially explosive fertilizer in anti-terrorist raids in London and the surrounding area. Six of those men, all British citizens ages 17 to 32, were charged with explosives or terrorism offenses.
The seizure of the ammonium nitrate fertilizer spurred intense media speculation about a plot to bomb civilian targets in Britain, although police have released no details of the case against the men.

Other wise go back and start over, or just follow Don's short cut above, and move on.
As I stated earlier: "This Is Different". The above might have been a problem for H field... but was near 'normal' for E field.
Re: Adding E Field Probe - Startup?
BTW, a great start and resource for all of us to learn from.
EDIT: If you look closely at the 2nd signal image, above, all 5 channels... about 132usec see the A Channel (purple) flattened slightly? That's a minor distortion that showed up. Otherwise much more obvious.
So if you cannot lower threshold on E field (Amp 2) channel C, force all channels on, lower amp 1 Ch C, then uncheck force all channels on, and readjust the original A's and B's on both amps to suit.... Channel C on amp 2 should remain at the setting selected. It can be set higher, if memory serves, but not lower... sheesh. And I probably could have explained it better... tough.
