How Do You Listen Through Walls?
Although sophisticated spying technology is available for purchase that uses contact microphones and amplifiers to listen through walls, it's also possible to create a listening mechanism using a small drill and plastic wrap. Because of the way the plastic wrap vibrates as sound passes through it, the sound wave travels faster as it goes through the hole, allowing for focused and efficient transmission of the sound.
Drill an extremely small hole in the wall. A hole that is smaller than the wavelength of the sound waves involved permits more sound to pass through.
Stretch plastic wrap across the drilled hole on the listening end.
Listen through the plastic wrap to the sound on the other side of the wall. Recording devices can also be set up to record the sounds.

Lena Dunham Pays Tribute to 'Girls' Co-Star Killed in Car Accident: 'We Will Always Remember the Week We Shared With Him'
Lena Dunham took to Instagram on Wednesday to pay tribute to one of her Girls co-stars, Nick Lashaway, who was killed in a car accident on Sunday.
"Just heard the incredibly sad news that Nick Lashaway was killed in a car accident on May 8th," Dunham wrote on a screenshot from Lashaway's episode of the HBO comedy. "Nick was such a talented, funny and kind person and we were so lucky to have him as a part of the Girls family when he played Frank in episode 207."

The 28-year-old actor played Jessa's (Jemima Kirke) teenage step-brother, Frank, in the season two episode, whom Hannah (Dunham) meets and hooks up with when the friends pay a visit to Jessa's estranged father.
Lashaway was reportedly involved in a three-car accident in his hometown of Framingham, Massachusetts on Sunday, and was later pronounced dead at the MetroWest Medical Center, police said Monday.
NEWS: Lena Dunham Says She Will No Longer Let Herself Be Retouched in Any Magazine
The MetroWest Daily News reported that the two other drivers involved in the accident were also injured. The cause of the crash is still unknown and is being investigated by the Framingham Police and the Massachusetts State Police.
"We will always remember the week we shared with him, his playful smile and his easy instincts and how much he made us laugh when we had to stay up all night in the woods," Dunham wrote of Lashaway. "We are sending love to his family and friends and feeling such gratitude for his gifts. RIP sweet Nick."

ViacomCBS' CBS All Access streaming service will finally be rebranded as Paramount+ on March 4, the company said Tuesday. That day is when the rebranded streaming service will go live in the U.S. and Latin America, with planned launches for the Nordics on March 25 and in Australia in mid-2021. Canada's version of CBS All Access will also be rebranded to Paramount+ on March 4 and "an expanded offering will be available later in the year." ViacomCBS will host an investor-focused ViacomCBS Streaming Event on Feb. 24, eight days ahead of the Paramount+ rebrand. Per the company, "The presentation will deliver a comprehensive overview of the company's streaming strategy, including Paramount+, Pluto TV, and Showtime OTT." Also Read: Miranda Cosgrove to Return for 'iCarly' Revival at Paramount+ In September, ViacomCBS revealed that CBS All Access will be called Paramount+ beginning early next year. The rebranding is the second, and much bigger, phase of the two-phase expansion of CBS All Access, which first launched in 2014 and was among the earliest entrants in the streaming space. In July, All Access added more than 3,500 episodes from Viacom networks BET, Comedy Central, MTV, Nickelodeon and Smithsonian Channel, along with a smaller redesign that incorporates hubs for the Viacom networks. In the weeks after the July addition of content, ViacomCBS said that All Access broke a new record for total monthly streams in August and experienced one of its best months ever in terms of new subscriber sign-ups (though revealed no actual numbers). In addition, the average age of new subscribers in August was measurably younger than the service's overall average subscriber age, due in large part to the addition of UEFA and the newly added content from various ViacomCBS brands.

COVID Experts Warn Don't Go Here Even If It's Open
With COVID-19 deaths on their way to half a million, and a new, more transmissible strain in America, it's more important than ever to avoid getting sick. Researchers from CivicMeter asked epidemiologists—those scientists who study diseases—"on a scale of 1-10, rate the risk of contracting COVID-19 at each venue in the United States." Read on to see which places scored near a 10 for greatest risk—and to ensure your health and the health of others, don't miss these Sure Signs You've Already Had Coronavirus. 7 Outside Gatherings That Aren't Socially Distanced are Risky Average rating: 7.38Dr. Anthony Fauci, the nation's top infectious disease expert and the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, has argued that gatherings indoors, or even outdoors, have led to the recent surges. "Avoid congregate settings," he has said repeatedly, about protests or family dinners. Why? Not everyone wears a mask. Not everyone social distances. Not everyone is safe. 6 Gyms are Risky Average rating: 7.50The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention issued a report showing coronavirus spreads in gyms. "The main way by which people are infected with COVID-19 is through exposure to respiratory droplets carrying infectious virus," reports the CDC. "COVID-19 has been shown to spread at gyms, fitness classes, and studios." 5 Outdoor Stadiums for Large Events are Risky Average rating: 7.54"Sports stadiums, when matches are held, and players, coaches, team staff members, and in particular fans gather together…can be considered as hot spots for COVID-19 spread," according to one study. "In an overcrowded stadium, none of the criteria for an effective social distancing are met. Fans are usually sitting and standing within centimeters from each other, hug and kiss each other in joy when their teams score goals, or win a set or the entire game repeatedly. Even when their favorite teams lose a game, they hug each other in grief and disappointment." 4 Indoor Seating at Restaurants is Risky Average rating: 7.54Dr. Fauci won't even enter a restaurant. Indoors, there can be poor ventilation and, naturally, people take their masks off to eat. He orders takeout or delivery. "I feel badly about restaurants losing business," Fauci told CNN. "And I feel it's almost a neighborly obligation to keep neighborhood restaurants afloat…Even though I can cook at home, several nights a week I go out for takeout purely to support those places," he added, and he has since argued for subsidies for these struggling businesses. 3 Indoor Theaters/Churches are Risky Average rating: 8.15"Millions of Americans embrace worship as an essential part of life," says the CDC. " For many faith traditions, gathering together for worship is at the heart of what it means to be a community of faith. But as Americans are now aware, gatherings present a risk for increasing spread of COVID-19 during this Public Health Emergency." 2 Nursing Homes are Risky Average rating: 8.73Since nursing homes have the most vulnerable of populations, they are thus risky to enter—for you and Grandma. Of course, this depends on the restrictions in place. "The experts cautioned that truly weighing the risk of different locations depends on a variety of factors, including the prevalence of infection in the area, the state and local guidelines and whether they're being followed, as well as accommodations being made by individual businesses," reports CivicMeter.RELATED: 7 Tips You Must Follow to Avoid COVID, Say Doctors 1 Bars are the Most Risky Average rating: 8.85Tied only with "jails/prisons" as the riskiest place for coronavirus, bars are dangerous for several reasons. "Bars have become notorious as sources of COVID spread," Professor of Preventive Medicine and Infectious Diseases at Vanderbilt University Medical Center told CivicMeter. "They are almost always indoors. People are there for prolonged periods of time, very close together, they're unmasked because they're drinking and talking. And that's the sine qua non for spread of a respiratory virus." Put another way: "Avoid them," says Dr. Fauci. So avoid them, and to protect your life and the lives of others, don't visit any of the places on this full list of the 35 Places You're Most Likely to Catch COVID.

Stop Doing This Immediately, Dr. Fauci Warns
There's a new COVID-19 mutation threatening to get Americans sicker, faster, and there is cause for alarm. "We gotta be careful," warns Dr. Anthony Fauci, the nation's top infectious disease expert and the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, "because the more cases you get, the more hospitalizations are going to happen. The more hospitalizations you have, the more deaths you're going to have." Read on to see what Dr. Fauci advises you to stop immediately to stay safe—and to ensure your health and the health of others, don't miss these Sure Signs You've Already Had Coronavirus. 1 Stop Waiting Until the Vaccine is "Safe" to Get Your Shot, Says Dr. Fauci—It's Safe Now Many—even those who are pro-vaccine—have said they'd wait a bit to get their shot, to make sure it's safely tested on other people first. Dr. Fauci wants you to know that "I feel extreme confidence in the safety and the efficacy of this vaccine and I want to encourage everyone who has the opportunity to get vaccinated so that we can have a veil of protection over this country, that would end this pandemic," he said as he waited for his own shot. 2 Stop Being Laissez-Faire About Your Mask Wearing Dr. Fauci begs us all to to wear our masks "universally," and agrees with President-elect Joe Biden that it's a good idea to wear one during the first 100 days of his presidency. "As tough as it is, and as much COVID fatigue that everyone has, we have to double down even more on the methods," Fauci said this week. "Everybody wear a mask." Per the CDC, choose masks that:"Have two or more layers of washable, breathable fabricCompletely cover your nose and mouthFit snugly against the sides of your face and don't have gaps" 3 Stop Gathering With Others in "Congregate Settings, Particularly Indoors" Recent surges of hospitalizations and deaths can be directly tied to "people who have congregated at meals and had closed indoor settings," Dr. Fauci has said. He knows that big family dinners with people you're not sheltering with seem "innocent" but stresses you don't know who has the virus. You may appear healthy but actually be infected without any symptoms, and inadvertently infect your own mother, who may be at high-risk of death from COVID-19. 4 Stop Travelling Dr. Fauci has also tied the recent surges to "people who are returning from having traveled and they're now coming back to our area"—he specifically meant over the holidays. But everytime you travel, you are exposing yourself and others to COVID-19, in the security line at the airport, in a public restroom at a rest stop, or on a cruise ship.RELATED: If You Feel This, You May Have Already Had COVID, Says Dr. Fauci 5 Stop Going to Bars "Close the bars and keep the schools open," Dr. Fauci has said. "Obviously, you don't have one size fits all" in every city, he said. "But as I said in the past, the default position should be to try as best as possible within reason to keep the children in school, or to get them back to school." As for bars—he feels they are responsible for spread, and that indoor restaurants are also dangerous. He orders takeout or delivery and feels the venues should be compensated by government funding. "So long as you subsidize and help the restaurateurs and the bar owners so that they don't go down and essentially crash because of the economic strain…" Fauci said. "If we can keep those things under control, subsidize those people, as well as keep the schools open, we'd be in good shape." 6 How to Survive This Pandemic Follow Fauci's fundamentals and help end this surge, no matter where you live—wear a face mask, social distance, avoid large crowds, don't go indoors with people you're not sheltering with (especially in bars), practice good hand hygiene, get vaccinated when it becomes available to you, and to protect your life and the lives of others, don't visit any of these 35 Places You're Most Likely to Catch COVID.

Growing human populations and higher demands for water impose increasing impacts and stresses upon freshwater biodiversity. Their combined effects have made these animals more endangered than their terrestrial and marine counterparts. Overuse and contamination of water, overexploitation and overfishing, introduction of alien species, and alteration of natural flow regimes have led to a 'great thinning' and declines in abundance of freshwater animals, a 'great shrinking' in body size with reductions in large species, and a 'great mixing' whereby the spread of introduced species has tended to homogenize previously dissimilar communities in different parts of the world. Climate change and warming temperatures will alter global water availability, and exacerbate the other threat factors. What conservation action is needed to halt or reverse these trends, and preserve freshwater biodiversity in a rapidly changing world? This book offers the tools and approaches that can be deployed to help conserve freshwater biodiversity.

1879 was one of the worst years on record. Here is a very descriptive account of what happened.
By Franklen G. Evans, M.R.C.S., F.M.S., &c, The stars in their courses have brought us round once more to that period of the year when we are accustomed to make up our profit and loss account with the elements, and see how we have fared during the previous twelve months.
The stars in their courses have brought us round once more to that period of the year when we are accustomed to make up our profit and loss account with the elements, and see how we have fared during the previous twelve months.The retrospect is a gloom one, and will show, I fear, that the profit was nil , save that of learning wisdom from the most adverse experience; and that the loss was that of money, crops, rent, and all that goes to make up the sum of material prosperity, and even the little reputation for climate this country previously enjoyed. The inhabitants, if any, of the starry worlds might have seen the earth going round the sun in that lazy manner which, on the principle of least action in Nature, we are assured she adopts, like an idler determined to exert no more force than the occasion requires. But this would only apply to her course in space, for it would have been noticed that on her surface an opposite principle was at work, that seemed to endeavour to compress the utmost action into the smallest space of time, to expend the bulk of the year's rain on the summer and autumn months so as to effectually quench the heat of the sun, and to crowd the greatest number of storms into the brief space of the harvest season.
Facetious critics, in the spirit of the late Mr. Samuel Walker, have been anxiously casting their eyes across the Atlantic for a scapegoat on which to pour out their vials of meteorological wrath. We will not impatiently follow their example, nor yet attempt a Yankee forecast, but quietly examine the facts, and see how the land lies – and the water that flooded us last year.

Florida Gators celebrate Tim Tebow with Ring of Honor induction, 2008 national title team recognized
For just the sixth time in the history of the Florida Gators football program, a man will be inducted into the Ring of Honor that surrounds Ben Hill Griffin Stadium. In this case, it will be the greatest player in program history who takes his spot among a short group of peers as two-time national champion Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback Tim Tebow steps into the circle on Saturday afternoon.
Tebow's stellar career at Florida was unmatched at the time of his graduation. After playing a significant role in helping the Gators winning the 2006 national title as a true freshman, Tebow set SEC single-season records for rushing touchdowns (23) and total touchdowns (55) in 2007 on his way to becoming the first player in history to win the Heisman as a true sophomore. Tebow did not need to eclipse those numbers in 2008 as he took a step back and managed one of the most effective offenses in college football history while leading Florida to its second national title in three seasons.
Over his four-year UF career, Tebow completed 66.4 percent of his passes for 9,285 yards with 88 passing touchdowns to just 16 interceptions, all while carrying the ball 692 times for 2,947 yards with 57 touchdowns on the ground. In addition to scoring 145 total touchdowns, going 3-1 in bowl games and posting an 11-1 record against rivals Florida State, Georgia and Tennessee, Tebow was a three-time Heisman finalist who won nearly every award available to him. He went 26-2 in his final two years as a starter (35-6 overall as a starter, 48-7 combined in his four years) and also made a lasting impact in Gators history with the historic "Promise" speech following UF's lone loss to Ole Miss in 2008 on its way to a national title season.
Tebow, who will be inducted between the first and second quarter of Saturday's game against LSU and see his name erected in the north endzone of The Swamp, joins linebacker Wilber Marshall, running back Emmitt Smith, quarterback Steve Spurrier, quarterback Danny Wuerffel and defensive end Jack Youngblood as the sixth member of the Ring of Honor. He is the first to be inducted since 2007, the second year of its existence after the Ring of Honor debuted in 2006.
The Ring of Honor is particularly restrictive, requiring former players and coaches to be removed from competition at Florida for five seasons, remain in good standing with the school and meet at least one of seven tough criteria. Players must either be a Heisman winner (Spurrier, Tebow, Wuerffel), former All-Americans inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame (Smith, Youngblood), former All-Americans who are NFL career category leaders (Smith), college football career category leaders (Tebow) or players with two or more consensus All-American honors who were also named national player of the year (Marshall, Tebow). Coaches must win at least one national championship (Spurrier) or at least three SEC championships (Spurrier).
The only other man who fits the aforementioned criteria is Urban Meyer, the current head coach at Ohio State. It is expected that Meyer will be inducted after he retires or leaves college football as, like Tebow, his five-year clock has been up for a few years already.
Tebow will be in town with SEC Network's pregame show, "SEC Nation," but he will not be the only former Florida player taking part in festivities on Saturday. Nearly the entire 2008 national championship team — except Meyer and those still playing and coaching elsewhere — will be in Gainesville, Florida, to celebrate the 10-year anniversary of the title win. Festivities will take place at halftime.

A small, splinter extreme groups are dangerous to democracy, so I wrote a song about the Republican Tea Party. Hitler's Nazi Party, an extremist group, gained quick traction in Germany from poor economic conditions which they blamed on Jews and used it to prompt a wave of Nationalism. It could easily happen to the U.S. Alvin Toffler warned of this in the "Third Wave" and I do too.

Harry Potter and his friends Harry Potter and his friends attend Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry throughout the course of. As a result, the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft & Wizardry is a main setting of the Wizarding World of Harry Potter. It is a fictional British boarding school for children aged 11-18.
Despite being the least well-known of all houses The Hufflepuffs have left an impression on the Harry Potter universe. The Hufflepuffs are known for its kindness, loyalty , and willingness to assist. They are also committed and hard-working. It is no wonder why they are described as being the house of the top witches and wizards.
Newt Scamander, also known as a Hufflepuff, is one of the most significant characters from the Harry Potter franchise. He was an extraordinary magizoologist and was loved by everyone. He was never angry when he was detained and handed the death penalty. He remained cool and focused, and fought his way out of the situation.
During the first year at Hogwarts the students are assigned an appropriate house according to their personality traits. The Sorting Hat does the heavy lifting, putting students in the best House to test them. It's a great opportunity to determine one's strengths and weaknesses.
The Sorting Hat is an enchanted and clever object. It was designed by J.K. Rowling, and is a reference to the magician's hat which was owned by Godric Gryffindor. It is also used by the Founders of Hogwarts to decide which students they will place in their Houses.
The Sorting Hat also performs a number of functions beyond determining the house to which a student should be assigned. It is able to read a wearer's mind and respond to their thoughts. It can even speak to them. It also helps determine which House the student is a member of and to present the Sword of Gryffindor to those who are worthy.
The Room of Requirement was a key element of Harry's Hogwarts experience. Aside from the fact that it provided Harry with his first (and final) horcrux and a horcrux, it also served as the location the location where Voldemort's lost diadem was hidden. The Room of Requirement was so mysterious that it took Dumbledore nearly a year to unravel its dark history.
The room also houses a range of odd-looking artifacts like the Sorting Hat, which is an artifact that is sapient. The hat also contains the legilimen, a device that uses legitmization in order to read minds. This is a challenging task but it has been achieved by a handful.
The organization was founded by Salazar Slytherin, Slytherin was known for its ambition and self-preservation. Slytherin was also known for being selfish and vicious. Slytherin actually produced the most Death Eaters.
The Slytherin common area was located beneath the Black Lake, and had rough stone walls and silver lamps hanging from the ceiling. It is well-known for its stunning views of the surrounding mountains.
Slytherin was a noble House and Gryffindor was famous for its rivalry with Slytherin. Hufflepuff was the least noble of all four houses. It was known for its virtues in loyalty, patience , and perseverance.
Hogwarts is the school where students go to stay during the academic year. Students live in dormitories and sleep in four-poster beds. Professors teach students. There are House tables, where students can socialise. There are also notice boards located in strategic places all around the school.
The Library at Hogwarts is a great place to start your Harry Potter journey, whether you are a Harry Potter fan or simply curious about the fascinating world. It is home to thousands of books. However it also has a section restricted to students who have granted written permission. This section is located on the lower level of the library.
The library is divided into five stories, each with bookshelves. The main room is the first. It is illuminated by natural light from stained and leaded glass windows. The ceiling is 65 feet high.
The second story is the home of the headmaster's office. It also houses the Charms classroom. The third story houses the Reading Room. This room is the only space in the library that is silent. It features rows of study tables, upholstered in red-carpeted rooms. Under the study tables are outlets.
Despite its popularity as a fantasy novel the Deathly Hallows is a real story about three former Hogwarts students who are hiding from Voldemort in Godric's Hollow. The plot revolves around the final battle between Harry Potter, Voldemort, and others.
This is the seventh book in the Harry Potter series, and is the final chapter in the boy wizard's story. It was published by Bloombury Publishing Company on July 21, 2007, and was translated into 120 languages. It is the most viewed ever fantasy series with over 500 million copies sold worldwide.
The book also contains five short stories. Some of the stories are connected to the Deathly Hallows story.
Hogwarts, a magical school for young wizards, is located in the Scottish Highlands. Established in the 10th century, it was established to safeguard wizards from Muggle persecution. Hogwarts is one of the most famous private boarding schools in the UK. The Forbidden Forest surrounds the school, often referred to as the Dark Forest.
Hogwarts is full of secrets. Some of them are kept from view by the outside such as the Chamber of Secrets. Other places are well-known and well-used for example, the Leaky Cauldron restaurant and Gringotts Money Exchange.
The Chamber of Secrets was constructed by Salazar Slytherin before he left Hogwarts. It was designed to eliminate the students who were born Muggles from the school. Voldemort believed that he had won the last battle and planned to make all Hogwarts students into Slytherin. He passed away before he could finish his plan.
The Chamber of Secrets lies deep beneath Hogwarts school. It also serves as the home to the ancient Basilisk. When Dumbledore's Army is sacked by the enemy, the Chamber is left open. It has floor cushions to use defensive spells as well as Dark Detectors. The Chamber also houses an embodied memory from Tom Riddle, who was killed by Harry Potter.
The Chamber of Secrets is also home to two serpents, built into the wall of the Room. They have eyes that are emerald-colored. They are believed to be summoned by Tom Riddle. They also have the ability to grow the Devil's Snare which is a large snake that can attack anyone who enters this Chamber. The Chamber is also home to a snake-scratching tap. Fang, a giant black boarhound is resident in the Chamber. He is more friendly than Mrs. Norris.
The dungeon is home to the Slytherin dormitory. The room is green with chairs carved with carvings. It also houses an idol of Salazar Slytherin. The room is lit by green lamps and a greenish glow.
The Hufflepuff dormitory has low ceilings and is a comfortable and sunny space. It has plants hanging from its ceiling. It also has a common room. The animal that is housed in the house is the badger. The badger is believed to symbolize the family gathering. The House also has a ghost called Nearly Headless Nick.
There are a few routes that can be used to get from the school up to the castle. These are not always easy, however. These are often hidden by tapestry or a secret entry. These short-cuts can only be access by House members. The secret entrance of Hufflepuff is behind barrels. It is also under spell so tap the barrel to open a slimy chute.
The Dark Room is where Dumbledore's Army meets. It is also where the battles are fought during the Harry Potter series. It is also where Dumbledore fights for Harry's defense. It has floor cushions for defensive spells, as well as volumes of Defence Against the Dark Arts.
There are also secret access points to four House dormitories. These entrances are secret from the outside world and require a password. These entrances are only used by members of the House.

Aikido is a sophisticated and powerful martial system based upon the principles of non-resistant power. Created in the mid 1900s by Master Morihei Ueshiba O'Sensei, Aikido is now practiced by a wide spectrum of serious individuals worldwide as a Way by which to approach the challenges of life. Aikido is meditation as much as it is a martial art form. A major part of Aikido study involves work with a staff; Ueshiba O'Sensei was a master of staff work, and considered it one of Aikido's foundational pillars.
Aikibojitsu's philosophy and technique with the staff resembles the philosophy and technique that was taught at the Kumano Juku Dojo in the early 1970s. But due to many factors, Aikibojitsu has come to be substantially different from its martial parent. As an example, in addition to focus upon achievement of control of uke (the attacker), Aikibojitsu also places emphasis upon doing so in light of the exponential nature of Reality.
Through understanding of both the theoretical foundation and practical techniques of Aikibojitsu, Aikidoists will come to a better understanding of why Aikido techniques take the forms that they do. They will come to a deeper understanding of where and how both power and silent stillness are best expressed in Aikido technique. Aikido practitioners and other martial artists who encounters Aikibojitsu will be inspired by it, empowered by its clear illustration of the complex web of forces that underlie perfection in movement.
Every advanced art form is built upon the effort of dedicated individuals who have devoted their lives to their work. Aikibojitsu is such an art form, the product of a very special lineage that began in the inspired work of Master Morihei Ueshiba O'Sensei. Morihei Ueshiba spent his entire life studying martial arts, and became an acknowledged master in several schools of jiu-jutsu and swordsmanship. But his real accomplishment was the creation of Aikido, a powerful and beautiful martial system based in compassion, non-resistance, and spiritual understanding.
One of Ueshiba Sensei's top students (soto deshi) was Michio Hikitsuchi, who also spent his entire life devoted to study of martial arts. Hikitsuchi Sensei, himself an acknowledged master of swordsmanship and staff work, was also a Shinto priest, and all those who trained with him in the Kumano Juku Dojo were deeply affected and influenced by the powerful spiritual focus of his teaching. Hikitsuchi sensei was one of a very few who were promoted to 10th dan in Aikido by Master Morihei Ueshiba.
Yasushi Tojima was a senior teacher at the Kumano Juku Dojo, known for his unpredictable nature, ready sense of humor, and explosive intensity. Tojima sensei was central to the creation and development of Aikibojitsu spending time and energy as mentor to Tom Read Sensei, Aikibojitsu's founder.
John Thomas Read Sensei began formal Aikido study in 1969 as a way to broaden and deepen his study of Zen meditation. In 1974, Read Sensei moved to Japan where he studied under Masters Michio Hikitsuchi, Yasushi Tojima, and other senior teachers of the Aiki Kumano Juku Dojo. After returning from Japan, Read Sensei opened Northcoast Aikido in 1977 with formal written sanction from Master Michio Hikitsuchi. Read Sensei began to develop the staff work of Aikibojitsu in 1985 after he experienced a powerful spiritual awakening to the fullness of Aikido's foundations.
Although Aikibojitsu continues to evolve and is different in many ways from its martial roots, Read Sensei still considers the art form to be the staff work of Aikido, and considers Aikibojitsu staff work to be a natural extension of the staff work of Morihei Ueshiba O'Sensei.


WalletHub ranked 100 metro areas according to factors such as access to nutritious food and low rates of disease and obesity.
With processed foods making up roughly half the modern American diet and a lack of safe, green space for folks to exercise, it's no wonder the United States tends to land at the top of annual lists of the most obese countries.
But with various municipalities ramping up access to farmers markets and making it easier to walk and bike, residents of some cities are healthier than others. A new report from personal finance website WalletHub reveals just how wide the disparities in well-being are among the nation's 100 largest metro areas.
To come up with the rankings for 2016's Fattest Cities in America, WalletHub analyzed health data from a half dozen sources, including the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the United States Department of Agriculture Economic Research Service. Although the report uses the word fattest, the company wrote that it "takes a more holistic approach to problems related to weight by not only accounting for both 'overweight' and 'obese' residents, but also including a total of 14 key metrics." Those 14 factors fall into three broad categories: fat prevalence, weight-related problems, and healthy environment.
Fat prevalence, which WalletHub defines as the percentage of overweight and obese children, teenagers, and adults, made up 50 percent of each city's score. Weight-related problems—such as how much daily exercise adults get, the percentage of adults eating fewer than one serving of fruits and vegetables per day, and the percentage of adults with diabetes or high blood pressure—was another 30 percent. Healthy environment, such as whether residents have access to nutritious food, completed the final 20 percent.
Given those factors, Memphis, Tennessee, is the fattest metro area in the nation. Memphis has the highest percentage of obese adults and physically inactive adults and the second-highest percentage of folks with diabetes. The Shreveport-Bossier City area in Louisiana came in second, and the Indianapolis-Carmel-Anderson, Indiana, metro area was third. The rest of the top 10 are all cities in the South—which is home to the states with the highest poverty rates in the nation. Meanwhile, Honolulu was ranked the least fat city, with Reno, Nevada, and Boise, Idaho, rounding out the top three.
Along with the physical toll of weight-related health issues, the economic costs of obesity are also significant. U.S. residents fork over about $315.8 billion annually for obesity-related medical expenses, according to the report. So where does your hometown rank? Click on the graphic below to see how your city stacks up—the larger the number, the fitter it is.

Benchmarking sets are important for testing virtual screening algorithms. There are several kinds of benchmarking sets for several separate kinds of tests. Pose Prediction test sets are drawn from crystal structures in the PDB. Here the goal is to have the docking program reproduce the crystal structure. Enrichment test sets test the ability of a virtual screening program to enrich known actives relative to assumed (or known) decoys. Pattern Matching test sets are used for testing substructure based methods of enrichment.

Q: How to create new columns according to a label in another columns in pandas I have a dataframe with 2 columns like:
pd.DataFrame({"action":['asdasd','fgdgddg','dfgdgdfg','dfgdgdfg','nmwaws'],"classification":['positive','negative','neutral','positive','mixed']})

df:
action    classification

asdasd        positive
fgdgddg       negative
dfgdgdfg      neutral
sdfsdff       positive
nmwaws        mixed

What I want to do is to create 4 new columns for each of the unique labels in the columns classification and assign 1 or 0 if the row has or not that label.  Like the out put below:
And I need this as outuput:
action    classification    positive   negative   neutral  mixed
asdasd        positive         1          0          0       0
fgdgddg       negative         0          1          0       0
dfgdgdfg      neutral          0          0          1       0
sdfsdff       positive         1          0          0       0
nmwaws        mixed            0          0          0       1

I tried the multilabel Binarizer from sklearn but it parsed all letters of each word, not the word.
Cananyone help me?

A: You can use pandas.get_dummies.
pd.get_dummies(df["classification"])

Output:
   mixed  negative  neutral  positive
0      0         0        0         1
1      0         1        0         0
2      0         0        1         0
3      0         0        0         1
4      1         0        0         0

If you want to concat it to the DataFrame:
pd.concat([df, pd.get_dummies(df["classification"])], axis=1)

Output:
     action classification  mixed  negative  neutral  positive
0    asdasd       positive      0         0        0         1
1   fgdgddg       negative      0         1        0         0
2  dfgdgdfg        neutral      0         0        1         0
3  dfgdgdfg       positive      0         0        0         1
4    nmwaws          mixed      1         0        0         0

Motorcycle clubs in North Dakota bare all for charity calendar
LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- Motorcycle clubs in North Dakota are joining forces and showing some skin, for a worthy cause.
Biker Clubs around Bismarck decided to drop their gruff exteriors for a tongue-in-check pin-up calendar for charity. The "Not Heavenly Bodies Calendar"does not disappoint. The calendar's creator says it started as a joke and then became a way to give back to the community.
All of the proceeds from the calendar will go to Heaven's Helpers Soup Kitchen. Calendar creator Beth Nielson hopes it will change the perception of biker clubs. "They get so misjudged a lot of the times because like every other group in the world, there is a bad apple in every bunch," she said.
"We are not gangs. That's the biggest thing is that we are not gangs. We are just a group of guys that like to get together and have fun and support the community," said biker Brett Behm.
The calendars are selling so quickly that a second run had to be printed. Anyone can buy a calendar on the "Not So Heavenly Bodies Calendar" page on Facebook.

From: Deborah Coggins Gammon, August 2000:
I just want to give you the dates on Alta Coggin, daughter of Adelia Culpepper and L. P. Coggin. I found her. It was rather like devine intervention. My Aunt Irene had told me that she was buried in Elm City with others in the family, but I walked Cedar Grove for an hour in June with no success. I returned in July and pulled through the arch at Cedar Grove, there was a graveside service going on. I pulled over to wait. I couldn't disturb them. I got out of my car to rest and walked over and sat on a gravestone-Alta C. Winstead. There she was with her husband, 2 sons and his parents. Goosebumps!!! Well, she was born Alta Lee Coggin, April 21, 1891, died July 30, 1965. John C. Winstead b. May 29, 1894, d. Nov. 2, 1973. Sons, James Edward Winstead b. July 8, 1921 d.

Q: How to store more waveform after trigger and less before? I have a Rigol DS1074Z and can't figure out how to lower the time the scope spends pre-sampling to open up more memory for the actual data I want to see.
Here is a nice image that will hopefully explain better:

And here is what it looks like when I am trying to store beginning of USB communication:

Unfortunately almost 50% of the 12 million data points are wasted. I would like to move the TriggerPoint in the first image closer to the beginning. In other words, I really only need to see what happens after the trigger triggers (any maybe a little bit before)
Is there a setting I missed? Can this be achieved?

A: Yes, what you want can absolutely be achieved.
Before you capture a waveform use the horizontal position adjustment knob to change the position of the orange cursor at the top of the screen.
This first image show a capture from my scope with the horizontal position set to the center of the screen. The second image shows the same signal (but a new capture) with the trigger set close to the left side of the screen. You can see that in the second image I've captured much more of the signal.

I'm not familiar with your scope, but I think I've marked the correct knob. Also, there may be a setting you can change that will set the default horizontal trigger point to the left side of the screen.

A: For the rigol DS1000z series, the only way I have been able to do it is by using the "window" trigger type.
Push "menu" under trigger level adjustment knob. Then select window as the trigger type. Select time in the position box. The increase the time to match with half the number of points you have.
Example, if your sample rate is 350Ms/s with 3M sample points. ((350e6)^-1 * (3e6))/2 = .006 seconds in the time box.
Now your waveform take up the entire 3M points.
Unfortunately this doesn't adjust the trigger position like I would normally do in other scopes I've used, but achieves the same thing.
Now your FFTs will have more signal if you are triggering.

A: In addition to @A.Mac answer, it's worth adding more details on Rigol behavior.
You do need to scroll the view before capturing the signal, not after.
The window position is defined relative to the trigger, and the trigger is assumed to be at the zero position always.
Apparently Rigol would center-aligh the sample buffer to match the window position. The way it is aligned doesn't really matter as long as the final position of the sample buffer will be such that the trigger would split that buffer in desired proportion.
Note that the buffer position is readjusted only after the next successful capture, that's why you have to scroll the window while oscilloscope is sampling something (idk, put it in auto mode maybe).
Some pics. The first one shows the default case, when window position matches the trigger position.
See the tiny orange triangle that is always in center, and the marker with letter T. They coincide in first picture.
Now scroll the window to the far right from the trigger.

You still see the darker portion of the history that matches the window within the whole buffer that is drawn in light grey. As you can see the window is centered within the buffer, or rather buffer is centered around the window. The split can look like it's 50/50, but note where the trigger marker is. It's far on the left. The buffer is located entirely after the trigger, so you have the whole buffer dedicated to the signal captured after the trigger.
After the signal is captured and sampling is stopped (single capture mode?) you can scroll to the left, or simply push the position knob to jump directly to trigger position.

See this last pic, only few samples are recorded before the trigger, simply because I didn't position the window precisely.


reactive – I think, therefore I spam.
Over the past several month I've been prototyping various aspects of an IoT platform – or more specifically, exploring the concerns of "soft" real-time handling of communications with potentially hundreds of thousands of devices.
Up to this point, being in .NET ecosystem I've been building distributed solutions with a most excellent lightweight ESB – MassTransit, but for IoT we wanted to be a little closer to the wire. Starting with the clean slate and having discovered Apache Storm and Nathan's presentation I realized that it addresses exactly the challenges we have.
It appears to be the ultimate reactive microservices platform for lambda architecture: it is fairly simple, fault tolerant overall, yet embracing fire-n-forget and "let it fail" on the component level.
While Storm favours JDK for development, has extensive component support for Java developers and heavily optimizes for JRE components execution, it also supports "shell" components via its multilang protocol. Which is what, unlike Spark makes it interesting for a .NET developer.
Looking for a .NET library to implement Storm components there's the Microsoft's implementation – unfortunately components in C# end up looking rather verbose and it happens to work exclusively with HDInsight/Azure, which is a deal breaker for us, as we want our customers to be able to run it anywhere. Fortunately though, further search revealed recently open-sourced FsStorm announced on Faisal's blog and I liked it at first sight: concise F# syntax for components and the DSL for defining topologies makes authoring with it a simple and enjoyable process.
The FsStorm components could be just a couple of lines of F#, mostly statically verified, have clear lifecycle and easy to grasp concurrency story. And with F# enjoying 1st class support on Mono, we are able to run Storm components effectively on both dev Windows boxes and distributed Linux clusters while capitalizing on productivity and the wealth of .NET ecosystem.
It is now available under FsStorm umbrella as a NuGet package, with CI, a gitter chatroom and a bit of documentation.
While still in its early days, with significant changes on the horizon – something I want to tackle soon is static schema definitions for streams and pluggable serialization with Protobuf by default, I believe it is ready for production, so go forth and "fork me on GitHub"!
