In October of 2015, Global Health Aging celebrated National Physical Therapy Month by publishing a weekly four-part series on aquatic therapy. Part 3 of the series touched on three major considerations when looking for aquatic facilities. Herein, the blog continues to examine other factors that may contribute to new participants' decisions in selecting a facility, especially when there is more than one facility in close proximity to the patron. In December, be sure to look for suggestions on equipment for new patrons' holiday wish list.
It is very important for patrons to be comfortable and warm when exercising in the water. If a patron tends to get cold, he or she can purchase a partial wetsuit or wet vest. A less expensive option is to simply wear a snug-fitting long sleeve shirt (over the top of a swimsuit, if female). When air temperatures are significantly cooler than the water temperature, a swim cap or even a knit ski type cap can greatly reduce the amount of heat lost through the head. This will help insure that the participant remains comfortably warm in the pool.
These two considerations are rare options that patrons can control when selecting a facility, unless they are willing to pay or drive to destinations farther than what is locally available. Most often, if using a public facility like a YMCA or athletic club, there is little choice available to the participant. However, it is worth noting, just to be certain, that these conditions will not impede or hamper participation.
Regarding noise level, natatoriums tend to have a lot of extraneous noise. If multiple groups are working simultaneously in either different areas of the same pool or within the same room, noise interference between the groups may diminish a participant's satisfaction and focus. In classes designed for senior citizens who generally may have more trouble hearing than children, classes for children, like swim lessons, should not be scheduled at the same time as classes for seniors. Children naturally want to scream, especially when splashed. Hence, it is fun for them and a good release of their anxieties, as they are not yet comfortable in the water. It is not fair to expect children to be quiet, nor is it fair to expect seniors to enjoy their classes when they cannot hear the instructor and focus on the work to be done.
When selecting a facility, water quality is another consideration that may be of concern Most pools today still use either a chlorine or bromine system to kill off harmful contaminants like bacteria. While salt pools and ion filters are more prevalent in smaller pools, they may also pose challenges to patrons with skin sensitivities. Water quality is not controlled by patrons in public facilities, therefore participants are better able to tolerate the harshness of the chemicals used in pools, by showering, prior to entering the pool. Most patrons consider showering an important responsibility to rid the body of oils, lotions, deodorants and perfumes that may add to the cloudiness of water. But few do not understand that they are doing themselves a disservice by not rinsing off before entering the pool. When a patron is already soaking wet, including their swimsuit and hair, he or she has saturated the oils etc., reducing the potential for chemicals to adhere to their skin, hair and swimsuit. By showering before entering the pool, a patron protects him or herself as well as the quality of the pool water.
Sound systems deserve some brief mention as they can often be helpful when overcoming noise interference or hearing deficits. Sound systems are also good for playing music which not only adds to the enjoyment of many class programs, but the music sets the tempo and cadence for movement. There are some sound systems that play music over speakers outside the pool and the instructor may be either on the pool deck, leading the class or in the water. An instructor may wear a microphone headset that transmits a wireless voice signal to be broadcast through the speakers, if the sound system is waterproof. The choice of music can also induce relaxation in some cases.
If a patron of aquatic therapy returns to the pool to practice or perform assigned exercises without an instructor present, waterproof personal systems can add enjoyment and motivation to a patron's aquatic therapy session. One of the most ingenious products on the market today is called a SwiMP3. The aquatic patron downloads a song list to a waterproof MP3 player and listens to the music through headphones that are actually placed adjacent to the ears on the jawbone, and the sound is perceived through bone conduction. Amazing!
Since touring an aquatic facility is exhaustive, it may be worth choosing to contract for a "trial" membership. If the patron chooses to no longer participate, the expense of a long-term membership commitment is not lost. Aquatic therapy and exercise are not only good for physical well-being, the socialization and relationships that are created in the water tend to last for years. As with most things in life, change is difficult. Choosing to begin an aquatic program is a huge investment of time and energy. Establishing a regular routine can be challenging, but when that commitment becomes routine, the benefits become SO evident that few will stop coming. Aquatics are good for life!

For Top Pols in Japan Crime Doesn't Pay, But Hate Crime Does
As Japan's prime minister addresses the United Nations on Friday his reputation at home is tainted by links to avowed racists.

TOKYO, Japan — Prime Minister Shinzo Abe will be speaking to the United Nations this Friday, but he may not be very welcome. In late July, the United Nations' Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination urged Japan to crack down on the growing cases of "hate speech" targeting foreign residents. The U.N. committee urged Prime Minister Abe's administration to "firmly address manifestations of hate and racism as well as incitement to racist violence and hatred during rallies," and create laws to rectify the situation.
Recent events make it appear that the prime minister and his cabinet are not paying attention; several members of the cabinet not only appear oblivious to racism and hate speech issues, they associate with those who promote them.
Last week photographs of Japan's newly appointed National Public Safety Commissioner socializing with members of the country's most virulent racist group, Zaitokukai, were brought to light in an expose by Japan's leading weekly magazine, Shukan Bunshun. In U.S. terms, it would be the equivalent of the attorney general getting caught chumming around with a Grand Dragon of the Ku Klux Klan. This week it was reported that another cabinet member received donations from them, and that Prime Minister Shinzo Abe himself may have ties to the staunchly anti-Korean organization. All of this isn't good for Japan and Korea relations, since much of the racism is directed at people of Korean descent, nor is it good for U.S.-Japan relations. In February, the U.S. State Department in its annual report on human rights, criticized the hate speech towards Korean residents in Japan, specifically naming the Zaitokukai. The group is well known for its anti-social actions, but The Daily Beast has learned that it also has had ties to Japan's mafia—including the Sumiyoshi-kai, which is blacklisted by the United States. The latest news of links between the Japanese ruling coalition and unsavory characters comes just after another scandal involving neo-nazi links to two other cabinet members made headlines worldwide. The standard line of defense offered by the cabinet members embroiled in controversy over their connections to racist groups, "We just happened to get photographed with these people. We don't know who they are," is getting harder to swallow. And it has raised some disturbing issues. The U.N. and the U.S. State Department can certainly urge Japan to deal with the problem but as long as hate crime pays politically and to some extent monetarily and the administration seems to condone ultra-nationalist racist groups this is unlikely to happen. The scolding that the U.N. gave Japan seems more and more prescient as links between the cabinet and bigoted ultra-nationalist organizations keep coming to light. Koreans living in Japan suffer the brunt of racism and hate speech, and their situation is complex. In some ways they are analogous to Jews in America in the early 1930s. They are a small minority and many of them are second or third generation residents who have no ties to Korea. Large numbers of them were originally brought to Japan as slave labor before and during World War II—although Japan's revisionist historians prefer the term "conscripted" over "enslaved." Koreans in Japan have been subject to racism and violence since as far back the early 1920s. After the Great Kanto Earthquake in 1923 there were rumors spread that Koreans were poisoning wells and committing robbery. Thousands of Koreans in Japan were murdered in the resulting frenzy. After the war, many Koreans stayed and divided into two camps: some who took North Korean citizenship and others who took the side of South Korea. While being racially indistinguishable from Japanese, many still retain their culture, attend special Korean schools, and retain their Korean nationality. Like Jewish people who changed their name to better fit in and to avoid discrimination, some Koreans take up Japanese names to hide their identity. They are still the targets of subtle and not so subtle overt racism—increasingly vocalized by the group known as Zaitokukai. The Zaitokukai, founded in 2006, has a name best translated as "Citizens Against the Special Privileges of Ethnic Koreans." They are an ultra-nationalist, right-wing group that argues for the elimination of privileges extended to foreigners who had been granted Special Foreign Resident status—mostly Korean-Japanese. The Zaitokukai also collect a lot of money in donations from like-minded citizens. The group, which is led by Makoto Sakurai, whose real name is Makoto Takada, claims that ethnic Koreans abuse the social and welfare system in Japan. Zaitokukai claims to have over 14,000 members. It organizes protests and demonstrations across Japan, even in front of Korean elementary schools, yelling such slogans as "Go back to Korea," "You're the children of spies"—making numerous veiled and overt threats. The group asserts that all foreigners are criminals who should be chased out of Japan, especially the Koreans. In a recent book, Sakurai states, "The Japanese understand what the Koreans are up to. If you think about it, there's no way we can get along with these people. Even though Japanese people don't do anything, Koreans just cause one incident (crime) after another. Every time a Korean commits another crime, our support goes up." And when support goes up, so do the earnings of the Zaitokukai—earnings that are poorly accounted for and go untaxed. It's a great racket and it's completely legal. However, the group does have associations with the Japanese mafia, aka the yakuza, and those may not be legal. They are very closely tied to the political arm of the Sumiyoshikai, known as Nihonseinsha. Eriko Yamatani, as chairman of the National Public Safety Commission, oversees Japan's police forces. It makes her association with Zaitokukai and their criminally inclined members highly problematic. One picture that dates back to 2009 shows Yamatani standing next to Yasuhiko Aramaki, who was arrested a year later for terrorizing a Korean elementary school in Kyoto, found guilty and then later arrested again in 2012 on charges of intimidation.
Another of the people photographed with Yamatani is Shigeo Masuki, a former Zaitokukai leader. Masuki was arrested at least three times after the photograph was shot, once for threatening an elementary school principal and later for insurance fraud. Yamatani initially denied that she knew of the Zaitokukai affiliation of the people in the pictures. This is slightly strange since she has reportedly been friends with Masuki and his wife for over a decade. When replying to questions from TBS radio about the recent scandal, she explained the Zaitokukai exactly in the terminology of a true believer, inadvertently using the words "Zainichi Tokken (Special rights of the Korean Residents In Japan)" herself. At a press conference held today (September 25th), she was questioned about her use of the term and stated uncomfortably, "In my reply (to TBS) I might have just copy and pasted from the Zaitokukai homepage." She refused to criticize the group by name or clarify whether she believed that ethnic Koreans had special privileges.
Yamatani, in her current position, oversees the National Police Agency—the very same agency that noted in its 2013 white paper that the Zaitokukai were committing hate speech, promoting racism, and posed a threat to the social order. If hate-speech becomes a crime, she may be in charge of overseeing the police that enforce the law.
She isn't the only one close to the Zaitokukai in the current cabinet. According to the magazine Sunday Mainichi, Ms. Tomomi Inada, Minister Of The "Cool Japan" Strategy, also received donations from Masaki and other Zaitokukai associates.
Apparently, racism is cool in Japan.
Inada made news earlier this month after photos circulated of her and another female in the new cabinet posing with a neo-Nazi party leader. Both denied knowing the neo-Nazi well but later were revealed to have contributed blurbs for an advertisement praising the out-of-print book Hitler's Election Strategy. Coincidentally, Vice-Prime Minister,Taro As, is also a long-time admirer of Nazi political strategy, and has suggested Japan follow the Nazi Party template to sneak constitutional change past the public.
Even Japan's Prime Minister Abe has been photographed with members of Zaitokukai. Masuki, who snapped a photo with Abe on August 17h 2009, while he was still a member of the group, bragged that Abe "kindly remembered him."
As of publication date, the administration hasn't explained the relationship between the two and a home page featuring a photo of Abe and Masuki has been taken down.
In their 2013 white paper on public safety in Japan, the National Police Agency touched upon the Zaitokukai as follows: "In parts of Tokyo and Osaka heavily populated by Korean-Japanese, racist and anti-foreign right wing groups have engaged in radical demonstrations, drawing the attention of society to the hate speech problem." While Zaitokukai isn't mentioned by name, it's clear who they are referring to.
Sakurai, the leader, has an arrest record but no convictions. The Shinjuku police did arrest him (and counter protestors) on charges of assault after a violent demonstration in "Koreatown" last June, but he was not prosecuted. He is still fuming about it: "The Shinjuku Police didn't even apologize to me yet."
According to police sources, leaders of the Zaitokukai have in the past openly associated with members of Japan's major crime families and continue to do so.
When we asked Zaitokukai's public relations office to comment on the fact that the Yakuza draw much of their number from the ethnic Korean population in Japan, and that the head of the Inagawa-kai, Japan's third largest organized crime group is also ethnic Korean, they would only state, "We think that anti-social forces (yakuza) should vanish."
Apparently, they are fine with terrorizing powerless Korean students and small business owners but not okay with harassing the yakuza.
A police source told The Daily Beast, "It's amusing to hear their response was that saying anti-social forces should go away. We look at the group as a part of a wider spectrum anti-social forces that include yakuza."
Some of Zaitokukai's "emergency fund raising campaigns" are said to bring in over a hundred thousand dollars in a few days. The amount of money the group earns is not checked by reliable third-party entities so their real earnings are unknown.
Hate speech isn't a crime in Japan, but what would be prosecuted as hate crime in the US is legal here. Sometimes crime does pay.
Since September 3, it seems that every day yields new information linking an Abe cabinet member with a racist or neo-nazi group. While the ties to racist groups and the cabinet members seem problematic, there are signs of hope…sort of.
In August, Japan's ruling party, which put Abe into power organized a working group to discuss laws that would restrict hate-crime, although the new laws will probably also be used to clamp down on anti-nuclear protests outside the Diet building.
Of course, it is a little worrisome that Sanae Takaichi, who was supposed to oversee the project, is the other female minister who was photographed with a neo-Nazi leader and is a fan of Hitler.
Maybe the Abe administration is sincere about dealing with hate crimes and just unlucky to have so many cabinet members being photographed and getting donations from the wrong people.
Sadly, Japan is in the middle of a huge racist boom. Anti-Korean books, magazines, and comic books are selling like wildfire. The anti-Korean diatribe Bokanron (The Impudent Korea Argument), a book released on December 5 last year, became the top selling book on Amazon within a week and sold 270,000 copies by the end of March. An assistant editor at a weekly magazine told The Daily Beast, "If you have an article ridiculing Korea or Koreans on the cover, the issue sells. That's the climate we're in."
However, Japan is definitely in a precarious time. What was once taboo has become socially acceptable and the prime minister remains silent, hoping to avoid alienating his political base and let the fires of political nationalism continue to smolder.

UK MPs urge Saudi to stop Daesh funding by royal families
A British parliamentary committee says Saudi Arabia and other Arab states must prevent their rich ruling families from funding the Daesh terrorist group.
In a report on the state of Daesh finances, lawmakers from the Foreign Affairs Select Committee say the terror organization is enjoying financial support from wealthy Arab families.
The report also says Daesh funding has dwindled because of the collapse in oil prices as well as airstrikes targeting its financial sources. The group is therefore resorting to "gangsterism and protection rackets" to fund its operations
The committee further urges Riyadh to enforce laws the interior ministry passed last year to make it illegal for Saudi residents to provide financial support for Daesh.
Citing Foreign Office minister Tobias Ellwood, the report says it was hard to know how the royal families operated in some of the Persian Gulf states.
"It is very opaque. When somebody who is close to the top of a royal family is a very rich individual donor … that is very likely to happen," Ellwood was quoted as saying.
Dan Chugg, a senior Foreign Office official, told the committee inquiry, "It is difficult with some of these countries to know exactly what is government funding and what is not when you are dealing with royal families, wealthy princes and those kinds of things."
File photo of Daesh militants
Riyadh is widely viewed as one of the major regional supporters of Daesh. Takfirism, the terrorist group's trademark, is influenced by Wahhabism, the radical ideology dominating Saudi Arabia and freely preached by Saudi clerics.
According to US government cables leaked by WikiLeaks, "Donors in Saudi Arabia constitute the most significant source of funding to Sunni terrorist groups worldwide."
"It has been an ongoing challenge to persuade Saudi officials to treat terrorist financing emanating from Saudi Arabia as a strategic priority," reads a leaked 2009 cable, written by then Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
Persian Gulf Arab families deny they have been supporting Daesh, insisting they are contributing to the campaign to destroy the extremist group.
Meanwhile, the UK government itself has come under fire in recent months for ramping up arms sales to Saudi Arabia, which stands accused of committing war crimes during its military campaign in Yemen. London has shrugged off international calls for an arms embargo on Riyadh.

I wish to get the slope of the derivatives within a specific range of x. To achieve this, I need to apply a linear fit to derivatives, or I need to print out derivative data to the txt file and apply linear fit.
I really have no idea how can I apply fit to the derivative in Gnuplot. So I wish to print out derivative data to txt files, then apply fit to the derivative data.
I searched for some references, but I couldn't find the way to print out the derivative data to a txt file in Gnuplot... Is this possible to apply the "set print" command to print out derivative data to a txt file in Gnuplot?

A: I can't reproduce your problem, because you missed to denfine derivate, but:
you can export any plot to datafile, by table. Eg.:
set table 'valami.dat'
plot norm(x)
unset table

The wide choice makes it tough for people to make an appropriate choice and is often confused on the best pair to acquire. However, users need to remember that every individual is different with distinct shape of the feet and other features. Understanding about your specific feet shape, size, and other such factors before deciding on the kind of shoes to purchase will be beneficial. An inaccurate choice in purchasing the wrong pair of running shoes can lead to negative results with high possibilities of injuries or soreness to the legs and other parts of the body. To avoid this, it is advisable to consult an experienced professional expert who can guide you and help you make an appropriate choice.
There are several companies that manufacture all kinds of running shoes. Swiss manufacturer ON is a renowned and reputed brand making excellent shoes with Zero-Gravity Running Technology suitable for all kinds of users including professional runners or amateurs.

The shoes are provided excellent and reliable grip through the honeycomb traction pattern and durability is procured from the rubber outsoles.
The breathable lining hugging the insole provides the perfect hold for a comfortable and safe run. In addition the four-way stretch upper material is beneficial for an adaptive fit in all directions. The intelligent fabric is capable of reacting to the specific stretch for every movement of the foot. The design allows the toes to splay naturally for added stability and cushioning. The Cloudster is appropriate for entry-level runners helping them achieve a balanced stride and comfortable lower impact foot placement.
With the Cloudtec technology, runners feel like they are running on the clouds with barefoot takeoff and cushioned landing capabilities. This pair of running shoes is available in several classic colors ensuring you will find one that is as per your personal taste and preference. The shoe is extremely well made and fit perfectly without making many adjustments to the laces.

TV market will be 90% 'connected TVs' by 2014
By What Hi-Fi Admin
Apps, on-demand content and video services will see connected TVs dominating the landscape
That's the view of John Bird, principal consultant, Furturesource consulting, speaking today at the the Digital TV Group's 2011 Summit.
'Continuity and Change' is the theme for the day, and while the current market share for connected TVs is around 25%, research predicts that will rise to around 90% by 2014.
Branded video services such as LoveFilm and BBC iPlayer, and Netflix in the US, are seen as key to driving demand, backed by apps and other catch-up TV services.
Right now, however, high definition remains the key force for driving TV sales, with 7.5 million homes now receiving HD content, thanks in no small part, according to Bird, by Sky HD's output.
Around 1.5 million Freeview HD devices have been sold, alongside around 1.3 million Freesat HD machines.

Tocks Island Dam Controversy
Floods can have devastating consequences. Take the flood of 1955, when Hurricanes Connie and Diane hit the eastern seaboard of the United States. The Pocono area of Pennsylvania was hit hard; nearly 100 people were killed along the banks of Broadhead Creek alone. In response, Congress asked the Army Corps of Engineers to determine the viability of constructing dams and reservoirs along the Delaware River, including a dam at the southern tip of Tocks Island.
Had the dam been constructed, it would have created a lake-sized reservoir nearly 40-miles long and a mile wide. 600 families and property owners, many who had lived on and worked the land for centuries, would have been displaced. Fields, forests, and homes alike would have been submerged.
But a few people started pushing back against the project in 1964. By 1971, the project was an uproar. New studies challenged the notion that it was a good idea to change a flowing river into a stagnant body of water. Decision-makers balked at the projected costs. In 1975, members of the Delaware River Basin Commission voted to forgo the Tocks Island Dam project. A movie about the failed project can be seen here.
The land that had already been purchased by the federal government was turned over to the National Park Service. Instead of a narrow strip of land around a large water body, the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area was formed, comprised of 70,000-acre park with 40 miles of protected free-flowing river.

We are walking through the narrow streets and alleys in Jablyia refuge camp, suddenly we make a stop, we stand outside a house full of life and works crowded of art, containing motives of the painful and miserable life of the displaced Palestinian people, refugees in their own homeland. In front of me, stands a man, a Palestinian I have longed to meet for some time now.
The man we will meet is Fathi Ghaben, a proud son of the Jabalya refuge camp, a well known Palestinian painter and art teacher professor, he still live here in Jabaliya, after so many years, together with family.
From the first look in a mans face you can read many things, if you are observant, Fathi Ghaben's face is a mirror of Palestinian suffering, and only Fathi Ghaben have the answers to many of our questions. The face of Fathi Ghaben is marked by sadness, the endurance of loss, the sacrifice linger in his eyes. In a few bright moments, you can also see the smile of a man, with a child still inside, and the dignity and statue of the Palestinian man, who is well traveled in life, a man who has seen it all.
We are greeted to sit down and served a cup of sweet tea, in this interview we will focus on Fathi Ghaben's life. A Palestinian man living under occupation, the father and the artist. Fathi as a small child, an exclusive eye – witness of the events after the Al Nakba, and as a teenager and a mature man, through the years of the first and the second Palestinian Intifada.
After Israel's capture of the West Bank and Gaza Strip from Egypt and Jordan in the wake of 1967, a growing sense of frustration among Palestinians living in the occupied territories had developed. The1st Intifada came at a time when Palestinians were protesting the acts conducted by the Israelis, that was perceived by the Palestinian people, as a brutal repression, which included extra-judicial killings, mass detentions, house demolitions and confiscation of Palestinian land and possessions.
The Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) did not bring solutions to alleviate Palestinian suffering, and in 1982 the PLO was forced to relocate their offices to Tunis. Although all Arab states with the exception of Egypt, maintained an official state of war with the Israelis, the Arab summit in Amman in November 1987 focused on the Iran-Iraq war, and the Palestinian issue was sidelined for the first time in many years.
The Israelis occupation of Southern Lebanon and the continued Israeli military occupation of the West Bank and Gaza Strip contributed to a growing discontent with the status quo among the Palestinians. Over the course of the 1st Intifada, an estimated 1,300 Palestinians were killed by the Israeli occupant, and 160 Israelis died in clashes with the Palestinian resistance and from Palestinian retaliation attacks.
FG: When I left the primary school I worked as newspaper seller during 15 years at the Kamel Abed Rabu office. I tried to increase my knowledge of culture, by reading newspapers and magazines, and I was drawing small stories for kids containing nice children pictures, I also worked in a citrus orchard, it was a miserable life, but it was advancing in my career because there was no occupation at that time.
FG: When the occupation began, there was the massacres of our people, the psychological pressure, the detentions and the strikes. Gaza Strip residents were working in what is now called Israel, and the worker got regular salaries, corresponding to their dignity and their honor imagine our life before the occupation better than after, it was a miserable life, but there was still dignity and honor.
Before the Israeli occupation we lived, however very poor, but it was more calm before, then after the occupation, that began in 1967. Not too many possibilities to support our families, few job openings, but it was more harmony and dignity for us.
FG: After the Israeli occupation, many people were forced to work inside Israel, to be able to help their families to survive. However there were big problems facing the workers during the time prior to the 1st Intifada, because of our patriotism. It was a big decision to make, if we should work in Israel, or leave our family starving without food. We had to decide between patriotism and to feed our hungry family..
I worked in what is now called Israel, but not for long time, only temporary to feed my family. Until my talent grow and my urge to establish my self as a painter, led me to leave my day-job in Israel, I looked for a new challenge in my life. In the beginning to be able to put food on the table, I was commercial in my art. My paintings were not patriotic in the beginning, because our living conditions were so poor and miserable, in that period of my career. I do not believe that art can ever be commercial anyway, I was forced by my life situation to draw and paint commercial art works, to be able to keep my poor family a live.
After a few years I was able to buy a small house for my family in Jabalyia refuges camp, and I began thinking of how to promote my art. In the period of 1979, my paintings expressed my nations pain and suffering. I felt as if I were a slave when I worked in Israel, and I felt much hate towards Arabian leaders, because from them we did not feel solidarity, and no support for the Palestinian cause. These Arab leaders were not even promoting their own culture heritage. There was no unity not even for one day. These were the main reasons which caused pain and distress among our people.
PFV: You are born in a small village Herbia outside Majdal, from where a large number of refugees came, as the refugees that had to flee their homes in the nearby villages Yebna and Asdod. Would you tell us about your childhood in Herbia, do you have memories left from this time? Your family was forced to leave from the lands between the years 1947-1948? How old where you then? How many family members were forced to leave their home and land in Herbia. Did your family have time to bring with them documents of ownership of the land and the possessions? Do you know what happened to your relatives, the rest of your family?
FG: I am in a strange way very proud that I was alive during the hell of 1947, and forced to leave our lands with my family – among tens of thousands of other Palestinian families, Our people were violently forced to leave our homes and lands, all that is, are our footprints, that has left permanent marks on the ground. We left behind us our sad olive trees, even the calm in our environment left for the distress and the anger. The Palestinian people left their villages and towns in the fifths-wind of the storm, while Israeli aircrafts roar above us, striking its human targets across the farmlands, the small villages and towns..
I remembered how my mother was hiding me in her arms, patiently standing still behind a large wall of a ruin, inhabited by snakes, until suddenly there was silence. The Israelis returned back in their warplanes, searching for remaining small children, the elderly people and the women. I remember I cried in my mothers arms, because I had intense hunger feelings, a child does not feel fear – but the intense hunger.
FG: In the 1987 uprising my feelings were terribly moved. After the Israeli collision with an army truck, driving into a group of workers, killing 4 and wounding seven Palestinians. I was during this period very depressed by the events around me and I suffered daily.
PFV: Being a recognized artist, can you describe for us (in color) the streets of Jabalya refugee camp, during the occupation. The small narrow alleys, the sewer water flushing through the channels, in particular the Block 2. ( this is where the resistance lived during that time.) Can you also make a comment about the coding system, to classify the buildings in the camp, used by the Israeli occupant during that time?
PFV: How many children do you have, boys and girls? Do they work, study, are they all alive? Can you remember the bright moments of fatherhood?
FG: I do not know of how many sons I have, (smiling)- is it punishment or a reward I do not know? I believe I have 10 sons and 6 daughters, I am still the head of a seven member family. Although I exceeded sixty years of age, every day I have to worry for my children.
Four of my children are working in the police and 4 of my daughters are married, the rest of them are still young living at home. All of them are alive except for my son Hossam. When Hossam became ill, I was detained in Israeli prison. When I got out, I found my son Hossam in poor health, he suffered from a serious weakness in his body.
FG: Believe me, I never felt the joy of being the captain of the crew, I keep asking myself wither my children will live under a continued occupation, or will it ever end? How long will they suffer? The forecast of today have began to appear in all its reality, we are all still trapped here inside Gaza Strip.
Even after the Israeli withdrawal from Gaza Strip, I did not see it as a good thing, it all became a nightmare for us, and I said, this is the beginning of the full hold on our people.
FG: The Israelis detained me more than once. The first time in the beginning of the seventies, several charges was brought against me, without the findings of any wrongdoing. I was release from the prison after seven months.
The second time they arrested me was in 1975, not a piece of evidence against me, I was detained 45 days. In 1984 I was arrested because of a motive in some of my paintings. The paintings depicted the uprising (the Intifada). The Israelis court confiscated 7 artwork, under the pretext that the paintings incited violence, although they were not only reflecting the struggle of our people, but the hard time we are going through every day. Two days after I was detained students from the Bir-Zeit University left the demonstrations, Israeli peace activists and artists demanded protection and respect for freedom of expression in art.
PFV: Fathi you worked for a time in an elementary school as an art teacher. Do you still give courses in art, do you still work in graphics, and how can you buy the tools, the paint, canvas etc, when the border crossings are blocked for shipment of goods, and it is impossible to travel outside Gaza Strip.
FG: I worked for 13 year at the Al-Naser Islamic school, where I gave private lessons to students to teach them about art. Because of poverty and minimal resources, under siege, and the difficulty to buy material. I am surviving, though I have to buy my working tools, even if it will be at astronomical costs.
True is that I am suffering every day, because I represent in my art work the Palestinian struggle. I believe the Palestinian people are the best, their nobility and their gentle humanity is unique. The events that has taken place has turned me to live my life in solitude, I am walking the alleys and streets here in Jabaliya, a shadow of my self, walking up from the darkest graves.
Some of my artwork has spread internationally, including inside the Arab world. I am waiting for the crossing roads to open, so that I can continue to buy colors and graphic tools needed. I am now retired and my monthly salary is not enough for survival. I am planning to take up technical courses. Life necessities (bring food to the table) has over shadowed my artistic ambitions. I can not really afford to buy paint and tools, therefore I am not able to work with my art, and the children need to have food on the table every day- it has become a big dilemma.
I have serious intentions to expose my artwork to the public. I have produced many paintings, some of my paintings is large enough in booth size and quality, to be displayed at a finer art exhibition, but still, everything depends on when the Gaza Strip border crossings will open.

It feels like the dark nights have been hanging around for too long here in Glasgow.
We don't know if it's just us but with the lighter nights drawing in we are looking forward to spring and summer.
With the number of daylight hours getting longer we will see the return of British Summer Time and abandon Greenwich Mean Time for another seven months.
This change happens in the last weekend of March every year, so for this year it will be in the early hours of Sunday, March 31.
This means the clocks will go forward one hour at 1am.
So, we lose an hour extra in bed on the Sunday, but gain an extra hour of sunlight in the evenings which is always welcome.
When do the clocks go forwards?

Q: Why do Atom snippets need four backslashes at once in their body in order to print a single backslash I just realized this while setting up a snippet.
'.source':
  'shrug':
    'prefix': 'shrug'
    'body': '¯\\\\_(ツ)_/¯'

In order to print the typical ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ shrug, you need 4 backslashes. Using 2 backslashes doesn't cause any errors, but the backslash won't be printed. I would understand it if why you'd need 2, but why 4?

A: The four backslashes in atom snippets is due to snippets using the generic CSON notation (Coffeescript style JSON).
It's well described in this comment on an issue from the atom-snippets repo

I think that four backslashes makes sense, however notationally
  inconvenient.
It has to do with the levels of interpretation a snippet goes through
  before it ends up in your text buffer:

*

*The snippet is declared in a CSON file, the parsing of string elements
  in this format is "backslash sensitive" i.e. \n represents the newline
  character and a \ is represented as .

*The snippet then has to be
  parsed by the snippet body parser. The parser uses one \ to escape the
  following character, e.g. \ becomes . So the process goes as follows:
\ --CSON--> \ --BodyParser--> \
The reason two backslashes used to work, was because the snippet body
  parser never really handled escaped characters (the escape cases were
  handled explicitly rather than in a generic way) this was why we had
  bug #60.
The process could be made more notationally friendly if the snippets
  were stored in a custom format. Then we would have more control over
  how it is parsed, such as not interpreting backslashes before they are
  being fed to the body parser.

Stop making victims in Wisconsin pay for their safety
0 have signed. Let's get to 500!
Samantha McClellan started this petition to End Abuse Wisconsin and
Victims of domestic abuse are encouraged to leave their abusers and protect their children. However, when they do, the Wisconsin (broken) legal system is designed to perpetuate the cycle of abuse by not only protecting the perpetrator and allowing them to use the court system to legally harass and abuse their victims by proxy, but they also force the victims to pay for their safety. An abuser can file a motion for anything at anytime so long as they pay the filing fee, then the courts order the victim to pay for things such as Guardian Ad Litem fees (which become astronomical when you have a perpetrator who fights them every step of the way. Perpetrators force their victims continuously into family court and make them pay for it, whether they can afford it or not, thus allowing them to financially abuse, control and torture and retaliate against their victims. Judges will also grant these motions forcing the victims to pay without ever having a hearing. This is of course on top of lawyers fees that the victim accrues to retain someone to help them navigate the courts and represent them. Most victims don't have disposable income and the means to afford this like their abusers do and the victims (both parent and child) pay the ultimate price. In cases where abuse (domestic and child) have been established, the abuser should have to pay for the court costs. By allowing the current status quo to continue the courts are endangering the lives of survivors and sending the message that the perpetrators still maintain all control. Please help me fight not only for my family, but for those suffering just like me, and those who will need the courts help in the future. Don't allow us to become another statistic of domestic violence abuse/homicide that you see on the news. Tell Wisconsin legislators and judges that this needs to end now. Join our voice and help us stand up.

Bringing Honor In Line With Morality: Kwame Anthony Appiah [VIDEO]
"Honor is very important in bringing about change in the world," Kwame Anthony Appiah says in a video from the Focus Forward Films series. "In a generation we can make great progress." Shot by some of the world's most celebrated filmmakers, the videos are each three minutes in length and tell the stories of "innovative people who are reshaping the world through act or invention." In Appiah's segment, his live interview snippets are combined with stunning animations that help to visualize his enlightened concepts.
Expanding on ideas from his book The Honor Code: How Moral Revolutions Happen, Appiah discusses the important role that honor has in society, and its potential for helping put an end to immoral and violent acts. "People can recognize that something is wrong but still feel that they're honor bound to do it," he explains. "We have to swing honor around so it's in line with morality." Using this strategy, Appiah says it's possible to end violent acts, such as the honor killings practiced by many cultures, by respectfully explaining that honor is not actually acquired if an act is immoral.
Like a modern day Socrates, Appiah thinks deeply about the major societal issues of our times. In his broad range of talks he offers advice on how to celebrate our differences while living harmoniously. As the President of the PEN American Center (the world's most long-standing human rights organization), he tackles some of the world's most pressing ethical concerns, and helps provide audiences with the tools needed to live both a happy—and moral—life.

History of Japan - Wikipedi
Hunter-gatherers arrived in Japan in Paleolithic times, though little evidence of their presence remains, as Japan's acidic soils are inhospitable to the process of fossilization. However, the discovery of unique edge-ground axes in Japan dated to over 30,000 years ago may be evidence of the first Homo sapiens in Japan. Early humans likely arrived on Japan by sea on watercraft
Japan - Japan - History: It is not known when humans first settled on the Japanese archipelago. It was long believed that there was no Paleolithic occupation in Japan, but since World War II thousands of sites have been unearthed throughout the country, yielding a wide variety of Paleolithic tools.

Japan (Japanese: 日本, Nippon [ɲippoꜜɴ] or Nihon ()) is an island country in East Asia located in the northwest Pacific Ocean.It is bordered by the Sea of Japan to the west and extends from the Sea of Okhotsk in the north to the East China Sea and Taiwan in the south. Part of the Pacific Ring of Fire, Japan comprises an archipelago of 6,852 islands covering 377,975 square kilometers.
According to legend Japan was founded in 660 BC by the emperor Jimmu, a descendant of the sun goddess. In the first centuries the country was occupied by clans or tribal kingdoms ruled by priest-chiefs. The Yamato clan became the most powerful of these and opened the way to the unification of Japan
Japan was said to around 400 A.D when the Yamato clan finally over-powered the rest of the clans wanting power. And, the first westerners to find the country was a Portuguese sailer who.
According to Japanese legend, Japan was discovered by Nigini no Mikoto, who was sent to the region by the Sun goddess Amaterasu to establish rule. His grandson, Jimmu, became emperor in 660 B.C. Jimmu is considered the first Emperor of Japan

Japanese and Korean languages are both classified by linguists as relatives of Altaic languages, which includes Mongolic, Tungusic and Turkic, among others.

Q: win32 - How to use SYSTEMTIME structure as a countdown clock Hey everyone I am using the structure SYSTEMTIME to perform arithematic with c++ to create a countdown timer. How would I set a custom time and make it countdown? This is a very generic question but if anyone who has experience with the SYSTEMTIME structure would be able to give me some assistance that would be very much appreciated!

*

*I want to set a default time for SYSTEMTIME so like
SYSTEMTIME tvar;
GetLocalTime(&tvar); // instead of using this to initiate the clock i'd like to set the time by myself

2.
 Also, how can I make this clock countdown from that time?
Take note that since I am using GDI it is necessary for me to use this structure and since the code that I already worked on with my group uses this structure we already have it implemented, so there is no room for changing, can anyone give me a solution to solve those two issues that I have?
!!! EDIT !!! I'm trying to recreate this timer here http://www.picksourcecode.com/ps/ct/161097.php in countdown format with just hours and minutes for a bomb timer for the adventure game that I am making with opengl. How would I reprogram this code so that I can incorporate a countdown digital clock of this standard?
Any help is appreciated, thanks so much!

A: The idea is fundamentally wrong. I would recommend to use FILETIME instead. The code should look like:
typedef __int64 TDateTime;  // This is actually an alias to NT FILETIME.

inline TDateTime  CurrDateTime()
{
      TDateTime param;
      GetSystemTimeAsFileTime((FILETIME*)&param);
      return(param);
}

#define   ONE_SECOND    ((__int64)10000000)

TDateTime myFinalTime = CurrDateTime() + 30*ONE_SECOND;
while (CurrDateTime() < myFinalTime )
    Sleep(50);

In fact FILETIME is a 64 bit integer. the function GetSystemTimeAsFileTime() is cheap. It works perfectly in the code like above. I used this many times.
If you want to show the TDateTime value on the screen you need to call FileTimeToLocalFileTime(...) and then FileTimeToSystemTime(...) APIs.

A: You can use timer for this purpose and I suggest you to use GetTickCount function. You can get milliseconds that the PC is running and get it again and get the passed time using subtraction.


Being a typical Andhraiite Hubby dear loves this. Though I did nor favour this before my marriage I now like this very much. Gongurra leaves being rich in iron content is a must eat for an anemic person. This thokku is very handy and I learned this version from my MIL. The shelf life is more than two weeks and you don't have to refrigerate it.
Heat Gingelly oil in a kadai and add the cleaned gongurra leaves and start sauteeing. You can see that the leaves will start to shrink and become pulpy.
Pick just the leaves. Clean and wash them in water and spread them on a cloth and let the leaves dry. There should be no moisture left in them.
In a pan heat 4 tsp of oil and add the leaves. You can see them starting to shrink and change color. Keep stirring till all the leaves have shrunk and it fully changes color.
Now in a mixie jar add the coriander, red chilli powder, salt and the gongurra leaves and grind it without adding any water coarsely or till all of them mix together.
In the same pan add the remaining oil and put the vengaya vadagam or the mustard seeds and the channa dal. Now add this ground paste to it and mix well. Cook for 5 minutes till all the oil gets completely absorbed. Store in an air tight container and use when needed. This will stay good for more than 15 days in room temperature.
While using mix 2 tsp of this thokku to cooked hot rice. Add one tsp of ghee or gingelly oil. Mix well and serve with pappadams.
