Fresh observations on Doctor Who – in random order.
About Johnny
Suspension, contrivance and The Power of Three (2012)
Date: February 27, 2015Author: johnnyspandrell 2 Comments
Years ago, I saw Speed (or as Homer Simpson calls it, The Bus That Couldn't Slow Down) at the cinema. I remember that although I knew nothing about when I went in, I was soon captivated by this crazy, adrenalin ride of a film. The audience was engrossed in it too; I could sense that collective tension as Keanu and Sandy's situation on that wretched bus got worse and worse, Dennis Hopper cackling wildly at them on the phone.
At some stage mid-film, having survived all manner of exciting incident, our heroes divert the bus onto a freshly completed motorway. Except the motorway turns out not to be finished and the bus has to leap across the unbridged gap between sections of road. At that point, the spell was broken. The audience groaned in disbelief. The film had stayed on one side of plausibility up until then, but now it seemed ridiculous.
I always remember that as an example of how much latitude an audience will give a story. Bomb on a bus? OK. Can't go under 50 miles per hour? Sure thing. Bus jumps a gap in a motorway? Sorry, I'm out. I'm unwilling to suspend my disbelief any longer.
There are a couple of moments like that in The Power of Three. In it, as you'll recall, the Doctor (Matt Smith, all arms and hair) has come to stay with comPondians Amy (Karen Gillan), Rory (Arthur Darvill) and Rory's father Brian (Mark Williams, representing fatherhood again) as the world is invaded by mysterious black cubes. For a long time the cubes are benign, but one day they suddenly they spring to life and start attacking people. It's action stations. Rory being a nurse, gets called into work at the hospital.
RORY: I have to get to work. They need all the help they can get.
BRIAN: Let me come, help out.
RORY: Take your dad to work night, brilliant!
No, not brilliant. Ridiculous. Why on earth would Rory take his Dad to work with him? They suddenly let unqualified volunteers assist at hospitals, do they? Especially during emergencies? The most irritating thing about it is how easy it is to write around. Brian could easily have been mildly injured by one of the cubes, hence making it logical that he should go to the hospital with Rory. Simple.
Of course it's a contrivance to get Brian in place at the hospital, from where he'll be kidnapped later in the episode for reasons which are never explained. He's the latest of a number of hospital patients to be kidnapped by men with empty hexagon shaped mouths, again for reasons which are never explained. (That's brazen, you might think, but actually it's nothing compared to something which goes unexplained in our next random story. Oooh, look a teaser!)
It turns out the person behind the motiveless kidnappings and the deployment of the cubes is a space baddy called the Shakri. The Shakri (a criminally underused Steven Berkoff) has seven portals placed around the globe. And one of them, it turns out, is conveniently nearby. In fact, it's at the hospital where Rory works. What luck! Only seven in the world, and one of them is in London. In fact, in the very spot where two of our friends are. What are the chances?
Perhaps it was one of these happy coincidences which broke The Power of Three's spell on you. If not, perhaps it was one of the other credulity straining moments. Was it when Brian sat in the TARDIS for four days seemingly without food, water or sleep? Was it when the creepy little droid girl was still in the hospital months after we first saw her, in the same clothes, and no one had noticed? Or perhaps it was when one of the alien cubes was shown to be playing 'the birdie dance' over and over.
Or maybe none of these things bothered you. Because let's face it – we're talking about a show about a regenerating alien in human form who travels through space and time in a ship disguised as a police box. Any claim to realism went out the door the moment Ian and Barbara burst through those big white roundelled doors back in 1963. Why should it bother anyone if the alien base is just around the corner or if Brian can watch a cube for the best part of a week?
I don't know why, but it does somehow. It's that step too far. It's that collective groan from the viewers of Speed. Time Lord? Right. Spaceship phone box? Fine. Birdie dance? Oh no, no, no, no, no.
The Shakri's plan, as it turns out, is to lull everyone on Earth into a state of complacency and then use the cubes to induce heart attacks, taking out a sizeable chunk of humanity. The Doctor has to think fast… But luckily there's a magic switch to hand; he simply reverses the process and everyone lives. Again, it's all a little convenient, but it's fitting for a story which has had to contrive a way through its own plot.
But to be a little kind to The Power of Three (and let's face it, I haven't been so far), I think the coincidences and conveniences which drive the plot are… well, if not deliberate then appropriate. If we concentrate on them, we're missing the point.
Because the heart of this story is not in your standard alien invasion plot; that's just decoration. The real story is of the strong ties of friendship and what they can compel us to do. (Not for nothing does this story reference one of the Doctor's oldest friends, the Brigadier. Ah look there's fatherhood yet again). As the Ponds eventually find out, if you stick around with the Doctor too long, something bad's going to happen. But of course that's never stopped anyone hanging out with their friends, no matter how dangerous they are. That's the real power right there.
LINK to Night Terrors. They share the same TARDIS team sure, but they also both feature lifts as the gateways to other worlds.
NEXT TIME… I know nothing about Vassy or the Catholics or half of what you talk about, but we're having a stab at The Massacre of St Bartholemew's Eve anyway.

This article aims to help users remove Ads by KeyStream Virus from Chrome, Firefox, Internet Explorer and Safari, as well as their respective system.
Ads by KeyStream Virus is a type of rapid spreading malicious software, the kind of which is known as Adware in the anti-virus communities. The name is closely related to the main function of the virus – to create large amounts of advertisements and to display them in your browser without permission. Ads by KeyStream Virus does not have a pause button and cannot be turned off – the only way to stop the annoying Ads is to delete it from your machine and this could be a tricky business. Don't worry – we'll help.
What is important to realize is that while Ads by KeyStream Virus is certainly malicious it lacks the capability to hard your computer directly. Instead it works like a backdoor for other viruses and scam software. Thus it is very important NEVER to download anything that Ads by KeyStream Virus may offer you or click on the links that come with the Ads.
As part of the deception campaign that Ads by KeyStream Virus launches against you it is possible to see a large variety of warning that try to look as if they are generated from your own computer. Examples include messages about missing plug-ins, about required codecs and video players. You could also receive "free online scans" that have detected "many problems" with your computer – usually viruses or maybe errors in the registry. You are then offered to download the missing program or install a utility program that can fix the problem for free.
Do not trust any of this! As explained none of the problems are real and the programs you are offered to download are nothing but viruses or bloatware.
The links of Ads by KeyStream Virus are also not safe. There is a very good chance they will take you to cloned sites of real online shops where your account name and password will be recorded when you try to log in. Afterwards the hackers will access them and use them to log-in to the real site, steal your credit card numbers and make purchases in your name.
2: Remove Ads by KeyStream Virus from Chrome, Firefox, Internet Explorer and Safari.
5: Permanently remove Ads by KeyStream Virus from Task Manager's processes.
Cleaning Ads by KeyStream Virus from your internet browsers is the first major step towards removing the virus. To do that you need to run Step 2 and Step 3 for every single browser that is currently installed on your machine. Don't forget to include any browsers that are currently inactive, but are still installed as in the case of Internet Explorer (comes with every version of windows) for people that use Chrome, Mozilla or other alternatives.
Find Ads by KeyStream Virus . Remove it by pressing Disable.
Ads by KeyStream Virus should be somewhere around here – Remove it.
This is perhaps the most important and difficult step of the article and you need to follow the instructions carefully. A mistake could result in damage to your OS or other programs. If you are not feeling comfortable with the risk you can instead try the professional anti-malware remover we recommend. Not only will it clean Ads by KeyStream Virus for you without any chance of anything going wrong, but you can also use it to scan your computers for other viruses that may be hiding on your computer along Ads by KeyStream Virus.

Q: How to get conditional sequence I have a question about sequence function in SQL Server.
First, I created a base table. Here is my code.
CREATE TABLE TEST2(
    SEQ int IDENTITY (1, 1) NOT NULL,
    Dates date,
    CNT int,
)
INSERT INTO TEST2 (Dates, CNT)
VALUES
('2020-01-01', 0),
('2020-01-02', 0),
('2020-01-03', 0),
('2020-01-04', 1),
('2020-01-05', 0),
('2020-01-06', 1),
('2020-01-07', 0),
('2020-01-08', 0),
('2020-01-09', 0),
('2020-01-10', 0),
('2020-01-11', 0),
('2020-01-09', 2),
('2020-01-10', 0),
('2020-01-11', 0)

Here my attempt code.
CASE WHEN CNT != 0
THEN 0
ELSE CNT = 0
THEN (ROW_NUMBER() OVER(ORDER BY Dates))
END NEW_SEQ

It consists of two columns(Dates, CNT).
And I want to get the following result using the WHEN CASE expressions.
Here is my example results.

I want to get like this using CASE WHEN Method.
Please check my issue. Thank you.

A: You can use analytical function as follows:
select t.Dates, t.CNT,
       row_number() over (partition by sm order by seq) - 1 as NEW_SEQ
from
(select t.*,
       sum(case when cnt = 0 then 0 else 1 end) over (order by seq) as sm

An overview of the Transgender Day of Remembrance
Andrew Reiter
The Transgender Day of Remembrance (TDoR) was celebrated internationally on Nov. 20, 2018. It was founded in 1999 by Gwendolyn Ann Smith, a transgender activist and writer. She founded a website called Remembering Our Dead, and also created the first public forum on an online major service, the Transgender Community Forum. Smith founded this forum to honor Rita Hester, a transgender woman who was murdered in 1998 due to being transgender.
"The Transgender Day of Remembrance seeks to highlight the losses we face due to anti-transgender bigotry and violence," Smith said. "I am no stranger to the need to fight for our rights, and the right to simply exist is first and foremost. With so many seeking to erase transgender people — sometimes in the most brutal ways possible — it is vitally important that those we lose are remembered, and that we continue to fight for justice," said GLAAD Transgender Media Institute.
Currently, TDoR is celebrated internationally in order to honor Hester and all of the lives that were lost due to anti-transgender violence. At Harvard-Westlake (HW), this day will be celebrated by the Gender and Sexuality Awareness Club (GSA). All students and faculty will be encouraged to participate in honoring the lives lost.
"One of the best things the media can do is to accurately report on the violence committed against the transgender community," said GSA leader Tim Smith. "This can be challenging, since not everyone identifies as trans, and more troubling, not all families want that piece of information disclosed. With the current effort to erase transgender people's very existence, it is vital for all of us to stand up and not only recognize but support the transgender and gender-nonconforming community."
According to the Human Rights Campaign (HRC), at least 29 transgender people were fatally shot or killed by other violent means in 2017. The youngest of these 29 people was 17 years old. These anti-transgender crimes are even happening to high schoolers, so it is very important to recognize this day even in the HW community.
Spectrum interviewed some students in the HW Community about TDoR. "I just don't think that someone should die or be killed for something that they are or for being themselves." Marine Degryse '22 said.
"We get to honor those who died and celebrate their lives." Helen Sidon '22 said.
This upcoming day is important for the HW community to think about and honor all of the transgender lives that have been lost due to anti-transgender violence. Look for signs on campus to learn more and keep an eye out for social media posts with #TDOR.


At Discovery College, all teachers support the development of aspects of PSPE.

Q: Replace values based on a list but keep replaced value on a separate colum I have a df like the following
ColumnA
"ABC X1"
"BCS X2"
"CCC X3"

And i would like to replace part of the strings with "" based if they are on a list, but also keep them in a separate column. Say my list is for example;
["X1","X3"]

So my  desired output would be
ColumnA     ColumnB
"ABC"       "X1"
"BCS X2"
"CCC"       "X3"

I know how to replace values values using replace and i also think i could get to the solution by using a for loop and comparing each value to the values on the list and keeping them if they match, but maybe there is a better solution?

A: You can do it twice:
df['ColumnB'] = df.ColumnA.str.extract(f'({"|".join(strs)})')[0]
df['ColumnA'] =df.ColumnA.replace(strs,'', regex=True)

Output:
  ColumnA ColumnB
0    ABC       X1
1  BCS X2     NaN
2    CCC       X3

A: lst = ["X1","X3"]
df = pd.DataFrame({'ColumnA': ["ABC X1", "BCS X2", "CCC X3"]})

import re

r = re.compile('|'.join(r'(\b{}\b)'.format(re.escape(v)) for v in lst))

df = df.ColumnA.apply(lambda x: pd.Series([v.strip() for v in r.split(x) if v])) \
               .rename(columns={0:'ColumnA', 1:'ColumnB'}) \
               .fillna('')

print(df)

Prints:
  ColumnA ColumnB
0     ABC      X1
1  BCS X2
2     CCC      X3

A: Alternative approach with split and isin:
l = ["X1","X3"]

s = df.pop("ColumnA").str.strip('"')
df[['ColumnA','ColumnB']] = s.str.split(expand=True).where(lambda x: x[1].isin(l))
df['ColumnA'] = df['ColumnA'].fillna(s)

print(df)

  ColumnA ColumnB
0     ABC      X1
1  BCS X2     NaN
2     CCC      X3

A: You can use str.split by a white space if followed by any element of the list, catch with using the Positive lookahead regex expression (?=
l = ["X1","X3"]
c = '|'.join(l)
df_ = (df['ColumnA'].str.split(f' (?={c})', expand=True)
                    .rename(columns={0:'ColumnA', 1:'ColumnB'})
                    .fillna(''))
print (df_)
  ColumnA ColumnB
0     ABC      X1
1  BCS X2
2     CCC      X3

A: Try this:
def match(_):
    for m in match_lst:
        if m in _:
            return ','.join(_.split())
    return f"{_},"

df = df['ColumnA'].apply(match).str.split(',', 1, expand=True)
df.columns = ['ColumnA', 'ColumnB']

A: First let's find the rows which we have to modify:
df = pd.DataFrame({'ColumnA': ["ABC X1", "BCS X2", "CCC X3"]})
values = ["X1","X3"]

columns_to_modify = df['ColumnA'].str.contains('|'.join(values))

Then we create a ColumnB with empty strings:
df['ColumnB'] = ''

And split only the rows which we have to modify onto the new column:
df[columns_to_modify] = df['ColumnA'].str.split(expand=True)[columns_to_modify]

output:
  ColumnA ColumnB

1  BCS X2
2     CCC      X3

A: This is one way about it:
df = pd.read_clipboard(sep=';')

mapping = ["X1","X3"]

#create a search based on the mapping
regex_pattern = re.compile(fr"{'|'.join(mapping)}\Z")

#iterate through column A to get matches
#and if no matches return None
outcome = [(entry,rada.group()
            if (rada := regex_pattern.search(entry)) else None)
            for entry in df.ColumnA]

df.ColumnA, df["ColumnB"] = zip(*outcome)

I remember the day my agent told me to lose 2 inches off my hips and that my thighs were getting too big. She suggested that I try yoga to tone down. I was devastated. She didn't see how hard I was trying to be thin. I was dieting and hardly eating just to keep my stick-thin frame. It was then that I decided to give up on modeling because I was ruining my body.
I had an opportunity to share my experience. There is always more than one side to a story. Here is the Salesgirl's response to "Dear Salesgirl, Are You Discriminating Against Me Because I'm Plus-Sized Or Black?"
Dear Salesgirl, Are You Discriminating Against Me Because I'm Plus-Sized Or Black?
As I walked into a clothing store, a sales representative greeted me within 30 seconds with a friendly smile. Once I tried on the clothes I came out of the change-room to get her opinion. I was excited about the interview because I was going to be discussing positive body image and my experiences as a plus-size model, and I wanted to look my best for the segment. I asked her if the blazer and blouse fit me well and if the colours looked good together. She rudely responded by saying: "I don't know, I don't dress people like you."


Hi guys! Here are some photos from a breakfast Anni and I had while in Stockholm. This time we tried out this place called Greasy Spoon and oh my it was good and the place was so so cute. Such a cozy long breakfast eating ourselves full while planning on the day in the city, which included seeing Post Malone (!!!) in the evening. What a great artist to see live, a great singer and a great show.
Right now eating porridge in my own bed it's great to dream about this table filled with all this goodness haha. Have a great week !
Hi sweethearts <3 To brighten up this gloomy Saturday I edited a Stockholm video I filmed a while ago. Go watch it and subscribe to my channel!
P.S. Speaking English in the video. Whatcha thinking, should I film in English or in Finnish? I kinda like filming in English even though it's not perfect.
Moikka ihanat<3 Tein tän synkeän lauantain piristykseksi videon Tukholman-retkesltä joku aika sitten. Käy ihmeessä tsekkaamassa ja tilaamassa mun kanava!
P.S. Kuvasin videon englanniksi. Onko mielipiteitä, kuvaisinko ennemmin suomeksi vai englanniksi? Itse kallistun englannin puolelle vaikken täydellisesti puhukaan, jaa kannanottosi jos löytyy!
Hi babies! Having a day off and woke up in Stockholm today, what a dream. My favorite place to be. A really needed break to get some fresh air to breath and hopefully some inspiration.
Started the day with finding our way to STHLM Brunch Club and had an a-ma-zing breakfast in a cozy candle light and listening to great music. A strong recommendation. Now shopping a bit at MOS before heading to Stureplan for lunch, talk to you later!


Does this mean the end of political discourse as we know it? Hardly. But campaigning for Switzerland's next parliamentary elections is going to be different from what we have ever seen before.
A press release from Zurich University recently created a stir: "Disappearing media are a threat to democracy," it was headed. It quoted a political science study which claimed to show that turnout for local votes depends directly on the (dwindling) local media.
This claim revealed a significant assumption. Our current understanding of political campaigning is based on the idea that information provided through the press is what citizens need to form their opinion.
Longchamp also runs two German-language blogs: Zoonpoliticonexternal link on political issues and Stadtwandererexternal link with contributions about historical topics.
The call by the study's authors to foundations, parties and government agencies to become active in the media world themselves in order to protect democracy, sounded rather like the counsel of despair.
I find that a book which appeared around the same time entitled, Agenda for a digital democracy, has more constructive ideas to offer. In this book, campaigner Daniel Graf and political scientist Maximilian Stern explore the potential for digitalisation of political communication.
The authors do not shy away from the issue of who is likely to rule digital Switzerland. Their answer is: a digital party of the younger generation which does not yet exist, but whose profile is already emerging.
Since the remarkable No-campaign against the Swiss People's Partyexternal link 2016 proposal to enforce an initiative on the deportation of criminal foreigners, this issue has been discussed using the example of the nonpartisan Operation Liberoexternal link movement.
These new-style campaigns operate quite differently from traditional campaigns, in which a campaign spokesman at the centre addresses himself top-down to recipients. The goal of the new-style campaigners is to make the recipients themselves spokespersons. They are to work on their own environment and thus have a greater effect.
That is one piece of good news from Graf and Stern's book.
The other trend that gives real food for thought, however, is the major change in the nature of political communication.
What is now in demand is not rational argument between spokespersons for both sides, to convince the undecided to vote for one party rather than another, or to vote for or against a referendum proposal or an initiative.
The aim of the newer campaigns is rather to use individualised media and energise a core of potential voters who have already made up their minds, so that they vote with added emotional vehemence.
Mobilisation is the new trend – not making or changing public opinion.
"It is not in-depth information that counts, but rather the potential for creating 'fan' communities."
Graf and Stern compare the emerging kind political communication with a game of billiards, in which a powerful whack hits the most exposed ball as directly as it can, so that its energy sets the billiards behind it in motion. Ideally, these should scatter in every conceivable direction.
Marketing experts call this the "first follower principle".
At the start there may be just one person, who tells their story in such a way that other people feel motivated to tell theirs. If this trend continues, it becomes a movement.
The best example of this is the #MeToo movement, in which women came forward with stories of sexual abuse. At the start of the wave was the well-known American actress Alyssa Milano, who accused film producer Harvey Weinstein.
With Twitter and Facebook the story went viral around the world. In many countries the message also took over radio and TV and was widely discussed in the press. Both old and new media were decisive for the global spread of the movement.
For parties as well as initiative and referendum committees, the issue is to intensify their communication efforts.
Graf and Stern advise interested readers, besides the usual PR work and extensive advertising, to focus on "crowd" campaigns.
Such campaigns zero in on "multipliers" between the central source and the target groups.
These absorb the party's message and then re-transmit it, suitably adapted to their particular environment.
The world's leading communication experts like Joel Penney call such people "citizen marketers". Their outstanding feature is that they adopt clear positions, live their values authentically, and may have many who think like them on social media.
It is not in-depth information that counts, but rather the potential for creating "fan" communities.
Book co-author Graf is himself a force in the opposition to the proposed legislation aimed at cracking down on suspected welfare fraudsters in Switzerland. He really operates according to these scenarios and speaks from experience.
Four associates of his working outside the political institutions have forced a referendum against the controversial "spies" which the government wants to curb social welfare and insurance fraud.
The most prominent spokeswoman on Twitter was the writer Sybille Berg. With a group of allies, she sought 5,000 collectors who undertook to bring in ten signatures each.
And the strategy worked – in part, because of enormous interest on the part of the mass media in this first "Twitter referendum" ever. After only 60 days the goal was reached. As a result, the issue is likely to come to a nationwide vote in November.
One may regret the decline of the mass circulation press. There can be no doubt as to the decline of the mass media's power to inform and sustain discussion about issues and people.
Exaggerated pessimism (as in the academic study cited at the beginning of this article) is, however, out of place, in my view.
Because beyond the eclipse of the traditional press, a trend towards mobilisation of opinion energisers is emerging with the digital media.
What exactly will happen in the 2019 parliamentary elections in Switzerland is hard to foresee. Some things are known, such as that "crowd" campaigns are to be launched, to reach out to other opinion-makers.
It remains to be seen, however, whether the entire range of voters can be influenced in this way. Most likely there will be a mix of traditional PR work, advertising, and new-style mobilisation.
Recruiting voters to be part of the campaign Claude Longchamp Jul 14, 2018 - 11:00 Traditional politics has relied on influencing public opinion largely through the press.

Background: This study was to evaluate the feasibility of detecting myocardial active inflammation in patients with cardiac sarcoidosis (CS) using cardiac diffusion weighted image (DWI).
Methods: 10 patients (age 61±10, male 6) who underwent both DWI and 18F-Fludeoxyglucose PET (FDG) were enrolled. After conventional cardiac 3T-MRI scan including LGE, low b value DWI with single-shot Turbo Spin Echo by peripheral pulse gating was performed. B factor was set as 0, 150, and 300. Visual analysis (invisible, equivocal, and visible) on each b value was done and patient with persistent visible myocardium at b=300 was defined as positive DWI. FDG was performed with low-carbohydrate diet protocol and 50 units/kg of heparin administration. FDG uptake of Whole heart was measured as whole myocardial SUVmax. Mid-level of short axis DWI images were divided into segments (anterior, septal, inferior, lateral wall) and were compared to segmental SUVmax in FDG.
Results: Four patients were under corticosteroid therapy out of total. DWI was positive in 4 patients. Whole myocardial SUVmax was significantly higher in DWI positive patients compared to those without (10±3.7 vs 3.9±2.5, p=0.001). In segmental analysis, visible segments at b=300 showed significant higher segmental SUVmax compared to invisible (9.7±3.9 vs. 2.2±2.7, p=0.012).
Conclusions: DWI has a potential to visualize active inflammation in CS and discriminate scarring myocardium in routine evaluation by cardiac MRI.

'I almost got hit': the Ukrainian journalists turned war correspondents overnight
Journalists run for safety in Irpin. The demand for the necessary protective equipment from Ukrainian reporters has increased as they return to work. Photograph: Carlos Barría/Reuters
Initially writing stories and making television reports was secondary for the journalists as many focused on survival
by Isobel Koshiw of The Guardian, Tue 10 May 2022
When the war started journalists in Ukraine found themselves at the centre of the biggest story in the world. They became war correspondents overnight.
Ukrainian journalists were spotlighted this week when the Pulitzer prize board awarded them with a special citation, hailing the country's reporters for the "courage, endurance and commitment to truthful reporting" they have shown since the Russian invasion.
But initially, writing stories and making television reports was secondary for the reporters, editors, and producers who heard explosions around them and scrambled for safety. For more than a month many Ukrainian journalists focused on survival. Some have since returned to work, but often they lack protective equipment and hostile environment training.
"Lots of journalists left Kyiv," said Kristina Berdynskykh, a journalist at one of Ukraine's major independent publications, Novoye Vremya. "They weren't thinking about whether they'd be fired, they were just thinking that they had to get their families out."
After the first few days almost all of the staff of Ukraine's prominent newsrooms fled westwards to Lviv where many remain. Lviv quickly became the new temporary capital when Russian forces surrounded Kyiv.
"From the print journalists I know, there was maybe a handful left in Kyiv," said Berdynskykh. "It is mostly the TV stations who had small teams of war correspondents who had experience in the Donbas. For everyone else, the situation was an absolute shock."
Those who stayed in Ukraine's hotspots embarked on new careers. Berdynskykh spent 18 nights sleeping on the floor in Kyiv's metro to avoid the shelling and conducted phone interviews. Without a car or taxis, and with shells flying into the city, in-person interviews were near to impossible for the first month she said.
"At first it was practically just western journalists – war correspondents – doing on-the-ground reporting," said Berdynskykh, who was a leading political reporter but is now focusing on the experiences of ordinary Ukrainians around the country. "But I'm grateful to them because we were still adapting."
Original reporting has since returned to Ukraine's news sites but most newsrooms cannot afford to simultaneously provide their staff with protective equipment and pay salaries, said Katerina Sergatskova, who founded 24.02 Fund, whose aim is to raise money to help equip reporters and newsrooms with the necessary equipment. The income from online advertising which many Ukrainian news sites relied on dried up when the economy shut down.
The demand for protective equipment from Ukrainian journalists has increased as journalists return to work, said Sergatskova. After a month of searching for suppliers, amid a worldwide shortage of bulletproof vests, the 24.02 Fund has now sourced 150 vests and helmets as well as first aid kits and it is working with other organisations to provide first aid training to journalists.
Sergatskova, who is a managing editor of Zaborona, another independent Ukrainian publication, fled Kyiv on the seventh day of the war to evacuate her two small children.
"When we saw a Russian plane being shot down from our [apartment's] window, we decided we had to get out," said Sergatskova. "At first, we took the children to Lviv and then rockets started to hit there, so we took them to live with friends in Europe. Now we can work knowing that they're safe."
Others, such as Kirill Gonchar in Ukraine's eastern city of Kharkiv, found themselves even more in the deep end. Gonchar was a creative director of a production company, who shot commercials and promotional videos for newsrooms and businesses before the war.
Russian bombs devastated Kharkiv in the first few weeks of the war and the city is still shelled several times a day.
When Gonchar realised that Kharkiv's journalists had either left or could not leave their basements, he ventured out into the city's streets under shelling to start filming. He said he was almost the only person working on the ground and was soon sending his footage to the BBC, the Associated Press, CNN and others.
"I just felt I had to act and this was something I could do," said Gonchar. "At first I thought I'd make a documentary but then I realised that I just needed to just do news so I could share what was happening."
Gonchar said he started looking for a vest and helmet and writing to people after the first week. But it was only after five weeks of working on the ground that some of his former employers managed to source a vest and helmet for him.
Asked how he felt about working without equipment, he said that in some ways he did not know any different. When international journalists started arriving in Kharkiv in late March with full kit, it started to figure more heavily on his mind.
"There were several times when I was almost hit," he said. "One of the houses that my friends and I moved into because it had a basement was completely destroyed by a rocket a week after I moved out.
"Those who were in the basement survived," said Gonchar, whose friends were seriously injured in the attack.
"But I can't say I was scared [to work] because I knew other people had it worse than me."
Since 24 February, at least seven journalists have been killed while working in the field and dozens have been injured, according to Ukraine's Institute of Mass Information, a media development organisation.

I feel for you Lindsey! I went through many years, especially the ones in Mennville, where I felt like I desperately needed a friend. I was amazed though that some of my closest friends were totally not my age! Like Eloa, Evi, Jolene, Stacey, Agnes, and the list could go on. There are quality women there, but you're right, it takes time and effort. Here's hoping you find some creative ways to get in that friend time.
So, did you go to the cottage?

Eating a tub of ice cream after a breakup seems to be an accepted behavior in response to a stressful situation. However, it also reveals a relationship to food that, in excess, can be problematic and upsetting.
Peer pressure, media portrayals of beauty, and low quality of food are some of the reasons for the high rates of eating disorders and disordered eating behaviors. Problems with eating can be varied, but all of them can cause major disruption to life and a lot of distress to individuals and their families.
Binge Eating Disorder (BED) is the most common eating disorder in the US, affecting 3.5% of women, 2% of men and approximately 1.6% of adolescents.
The most recent version of the psychiatric diagnostic manual, DSM 5, added Binge Eating Disorder to the other better know eating disorders (anorexia and bulimia).
4. Absence of purging or other compensatory behaviors.
Recognizing that a problem exists is the first step to any recovery. It can be difficult to spot a binge eating disorder. In order to recognize a binge eating disorder, one must be able to identify an unhealthy relationship to food.
Everyone overeats sometimes. However, if you are eating large amounts of food until uncomfortable, eating in private, eating even when you're not hungry, feel guilty, depressed or disgusted after these periods, and these behaviors persist at least once a week for three months- this characterizes binge eating disorder (2). If you recognize any of these behaviors in your own life, there are strategies you can use to address your binge eating disorder and create a healthier relationship to food.
Studies show that binge eating disorders often have underlying emotional causes (1). If you recognize a temptation to binge, whether or not you act on it, observe your feelings, thoughts and beliefs both before and after the binge. Write these triggers in a journal to help increase your awareness.
When you notice a pattern to your binges, you can begin to address it and have the option to make different choices. You can call a friend and talk it through, divert your attention and journal about the experience, or go on a walk. These are just some examples and you can decide what is best for you.
Studies show that certain dieting behaviors that encourage preoccupations about or excessive restrictions of food can result in binging (1). Therefore, focusing on intuitive and healthy eating and being flexible with one's diet can reduce the urge to binge while nourishing the body optimally.
Think of a baby or a dog— how do they view eating? They feel joy with their meals, and appreciate food for nourishing their body and providing an enjoyable experience. A mind preoccupied with the next meal does not have to stay that way! Reprogramming the mind to rediscover an appreciation of food can help to limit binges. But how can this be done?
Eating three full meals a day, eating when hungry (but not too hungry), and cooking your meals with interesting ingredients can help you rediscover the joy in food and eating. Further, making sure you have healthy and nourishing snacks on hand— such as a handful of almonds or an apple— can be helpful to avoid becoming too hungry and overeating when you get the opportunity.
Binge eating disorder can be quite challenging and while you can do a lot on your own, sometimes we all need some help and support. Working with a psychotherapist can be helpful in sorting out a complicated relationship with food.


Part I briefly reviews basic Fourth Amendment case law regulating searches and seizures, summarizes the exigent circumstances doctrine, and discusses the applicability of that doctrine to electronic surveillance of communications. Part II outlines Title III's requirements for a "standard" (non-emergency, non-roving) interception order, including what the application and order must contain, and how such an order must be executed. Part III studies the emergency surveillance provision of Title III and reviews Justice Department policies and practices in implementing that provision. Part IV analyzes the new roving intercept provision, discusses its constitutionality, and looks at some practical problems that may arise when obtaining and using an intercept order authorized under it. Part V briefly examines how three other Western democracies, Canada, Israel and West Germany, regulate emergency surveillance, and compares their rules to our own. Part VI offers an evaluation of the current system of regulation, and some proposed reforms.

This study evaluated risk factors for acute wheeze in preschool children and investigated if subnormal levels of vitamin D were associated with increased risk for acute wheeze, atopy or viral/bacterial respiratory infections.
We recruited 130 children with acute wheeze, aged six months to four years, from paediatric emergency departments in Stockholm, Sweden, and 101 age-matched controls with no history of wheeze or sensitisation to airborne allergens. Parents answered standardised questionnaires and blood samples were analysed for specific IgE to airborne and food allergens and levels of 25 hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D). Nasopharyngeal virus samples were collected during the emergency department visit in the group of children with wheeze and a subset were also tested for bacteria.
Vitamin D insufficiency (25(OH)D <75nmol/L (30 ng/mL) was associated with an odds ratio of 2.7 (95% confidence interval 1.1-6.2) for acute wheeze. However, no association was found between vitamin D insufficiency and atopy, presence of virus or bacteria or recurrent infections. Children older than 24 months were particularly at risk of subnormal vitamin D levels, irrespective of wheezing history.
Our findings support the hypothesis that subnormal levels of vitamin D are associated with acute wheeze in young children.


The DEVA035 scanning probe interface card has been designed to extend the capabilities of the DEVA004 CMM controller for scanning applications. The card caters for both analog and encoder based probes and is compatible with most scanning probes on the market. The Deva035 is compatible with all Deva CMM Controllers so it is possible to upgrade Coordinate measuring machines in the field for scanning applications.


I landed in London and was extremely exhausted from the flight. I just wanted to sleep. I checked into my hotel at the London Edition (which I absolutely love love love!), and was feeling peckish and wanted to pass out. The staff recommended their restaurant Berners Tavern for lunch, which is under the guidance of Michelin Starred chef Jason Atherton. They made reservations for me and I went to take a long nap in my most comfortable bed ever (the bed reminds me of the Four Seasons).
TRADITIONAL BRITISH PORK PIE SERVED TABLE SIDE (£17.00): English Piccalilli, Pickled Vegetables, Mustard. This was just ok for me. I prefer a flaky crust. I thought it was going to be warm, but it was cold. It was more like a thick pate. The pickled vegetables were good to cut through the fat. I got a bit of all the mustards. The traditional dijon was my favorite.
TRIPLE COOKED CHIPS (£5.00): I was quite disappointed with my chips. They weren't anything like Heston Blumenthal's triple cooked chips. They were a tad bit soggy.
COFFEE: It was delicious and creamy. I would order it again.
MY FAVORITE DISH. CHOCOLATE AND HAZELNUT FLAMNG ALASKA, SPECULOOS, AND COFFEE CRUMBLE, HAZELNUT CUSTARD (£18.00). This dish is freakin amazing. It totally made my lunch that much better. It arrives plain and then they add an alcohol and light it on fire and pour it over the ice cream and whipped cream. It starts to flame and it brulee's the top part of the baked alaska.
Overall, Berner's Tavern was good but not amazing. It took awhile for the staff to take my order. I almost felt they ignored me since I was dining solo. The food was good, but I think I expected much more. The saving grace was the baked alaska. It was one of the best baked alaska's I've had in a really long time. Sure it's boozy, but that's the fun of it. I loved that it was also conveniently located within my hotel. Would I come back? Possibly, but I would order something else other than the pie.


This series of conversations aims to highlight the efforts of various people who all share a commitment to the planet that they put into action, each in their own way and with a focus on a particular issue. There are more of us than we know!
Jonathan Levy goes by the nickname "zero waste guy". He caught my attention on Instagram with his educational posts on plastic and waste reduction, rooted in his personal experience.
Tell us about your website, Zerowasteguy.com.
Zerowasteguy.com is my blog, but I am also in the process of integrating my consulting website, so that it will provide readers and potential clients, alike, a more comprehensive picture of the services I offer and the way I think. Many zero waste blogs focus on how-to content, which is helpful, but not for me. Instead I share my real-world observations of ways in which businesses, organizations and individuals can have large impacts with small changes.
You're widely known as the "zero waste guy", so there's probably no need to ask you what issue is dearest to your heart. You say you grew up in a minimum waste lifestyle, but what was it that finally broke the camel's back and made you fully commit to going Zero Waste, and in such an outspoken way?
I grew up in the Bay Area, which is generally known as a progressive and environmentally-friendly part of the country. I have memories as a child of sorting materials into several types. I don't remember the specifics now, but I'm fairly certain there was a wheelie bin for trash and three smaller totes for recycling: cardboard, glass and plastic.
When I moved away to Southern California for college I was hit with culture shock: my dorm didn't have a recycle bin. When I asked my RA (resident advisor) what was up, I was told, "They [the garbage company] recycle for you." This was traumatic, at first, but over time I got used to it. Looking back down, that was probably the start of a slow environmental demise.
But, to answer your question! In 2012 I took a job with one of America's largest retailers for all the wrong reasons. It paid well and was a step up, but I learned quickly that it just was not for me. I found myself in a warehouse for 12 hours per day supervising the mechanics and maintenance workers who were responsible for keeping the building running. I felt inundated with disposable and other single-use items on a daily basis. It drove me crazy. After only nine months I quit to travel Europe to learn more about myself, but also to see what Europe was doing right when it came to sustainability. Upon my return I started working with garbage haulers on regulatory compliance, completing hundreds, if not thousands of waste characterization audits. After spending a few years in the industry working with mostly businesses and municipalities, I realized that there were quite a few people who, like me, wanted to do better, but didn't know how. I launched my blog in the Fall of 2015 to start helping people with every day tips and tricks for living more with less.
Did you run into anything especially difficult, and how did you solve it?
I receive quite a bit of pushback from both businesses and individuals with respect to adopting zero waste practices. There seems to be a perception amongst business owners that anything environmentally-friendly is more expensive. In these instances I have to show them how going zero waste actually reduces expenses, both directly and indirectly. Also, more and more people are seeking businesses that are sustainable. Showing your customers how green you are is absolutely good for business.
When it comes to individuals, a common thing I am told is, "You should see my recycle bin at home, it is always full," or "I am doing my best." In the United States only about one-third of material is recycled or composted, which means that two-thirds is going directly into the landfill. Recycling infrastructure is weak or even non-existent throughout much of our country, which means that even our best recycling intentions are often not good enough. Many people do not realize that recycling a material is only as good as the hauler's ability to find a market for it. If the hauler can't find a buyer then he will simply send the material to a landfill. Once I explain why we should avoid packaging and use of unnecessary materials, people are usually much more receptive to adopting new ideas.
You live in L.A., is that correct? How is it being zero-waste there, in terms of resources and in terms of people's reactions?
I live in Pasadena, CA, which is adjacent to downtown Los Angeles. One of the greatest challenges we are faced with in Southern California is the "they recycle for us" culture that I mentioned earlier. We currently have a system where some haulers sort material for us and some require us to separate it, so there isn't uniformity. It is hard to educate people on ways to reduce their waste and/or increase recycling when they have no sense of what is actually recyclable.
Presently in the City of L.A. there are about 40 approved haulers. This means that if you own or work at a business or live in an apartment or condo there are potentially 40 different companies that can service your location. In addition to multiple haulers servicing the same block (which causes excessive pollution and congestion), there is that issue of inconsistent service. Some offer source-separated recycling and composting, while others do not.
We are in an exciting time, though. The City of L.A. has broken up the city into 11 garbage districts and has awarded exclusive contracts to eight haulers. These franchise hauling agreements mean only one hauler will service your block, instead of several. Additionally, all businesses and multi-family dwellings will soon have access to the exact same services.
Do you have a hard-earned piece of advice for someone warming up to such a shift?
Pace yourself. I tried to drop waste cold turkey, which was incredibly difficult, and very discouraging. Social media has created an all-or-nothing attitude, which caused me to feel pressured into being 100% zero waste. Perfect. Even today, I am not completely zero waste. It is just impossible. There are too many variables. The best advice I have for someone looking to go zero waste is to start small, be consistent, and don't give up. Perfect isn't necessary. The important thing is that you make the effort and stick with it.
Is there a resource you particularly recommend?
Zero waste is a lifestyle and it takes a holistic approach. Focus on one aspect of your life to start, but overtime expand your quest to all aspects.

Congratulations to community member TheRope and his 3 gallon pico reef for being selected for our April 2019 Reef Profile! This fascinating pico reef bowl is home to an incredibly diverse array of aquatic life, all built upon basic equipment and simple care. In this article TheRope shares his experiences in the hobby and this aquarium's journey over the past year and a half. Share your comments and questions in the comments section below, and follow his aquarium journal for additional photos, history, and information about this mesmerizing little reef tank.
Display: 3 Gallon glass bowl, 10" wide and 9" high. Total system water volume about 2 gallons.
Lighting: 12 watt PAR38 Tuna Blue LED by ABI in an IKEA desk lamp.
Heater: 50 watt Aqueon Mini paired with Inbird Thermostat.
Air Pump: Tetra Whisper 10, dialed down a bit.
Rock: A mix of live rock and Caribsea "Life Rock".
Sand: A mix of Fiji Pink and Arag-alive from Caribsea.
I do one water change per week, at minimum 50%, but usually closer to 90%, and I feed often. My water changes are done with store bought distilled water that I mix with RedSea Coral Pro salt to the right temperature and salinity.
Normally I feed a tiny bit of ReefRoids with an added couple of drops of Seachem phytoplankton, as well as spot feed certain corals with LPS pellets. I feed all of these foods at the same time 3x to 4x a week. My feather worm's health is very important as the large water changes often deplete the water column of things that these heavy filter feeders need. So it's my job is to replace it while still keeping my coral alive!
For testing, the only thing I check is salinity and temperature. I test salinity with an ABI refractometer once a week after doing a water change, and the temperature is digitally monitored by the Inkbird Temperature Controller.
I typically only top off for evaporation once a week. I know when it's time to top off because I draw a line on my bowl after every water change showing me where my water level is. If there is any evap that escapes the lid, I just slowly raise the water level back up to that line and it's always spot on.
The air bubbles used for water circulation the reef bowl acts as a form of surface skimming, the buildup of 'skim mate' waste appears above the water line around the edge of the bowl, which I simply wipe down once the tank is drained for a water change. To assist with my heavy feedings I also have a small mangrove growing in the bowl to help reduce my nutrient levels through nitrogen uptake.
I originally started this reef bowl in a 2 gallon Anchor Hocking glass cookie jar In August 2017 after seeing a ton of images online about Maritza the Vase Reef, it comprised of 3 rocks and a sand bed. I ran it using an air pump, a heater, and an eBay light. The eBay light I originally started with was very white and way too weak, which caused my acan frag to go from red to green. That's when I went online and found the ABI tuna blue PAR38 LED bulb that I have been using ever since. The sand I had used in the original jar was very large grained, which allowed it to be the perfect host for deep rooting nuisance algae. At the time I was an absolute peroxide freak, and the one problem spot I couldn't spot treat with peroxide was the sand bed, so I just removed it all together. The removal of the sand bed caused the rocks to slide and crush coral to the glass due to the shape of the cookie jar's base.
Over time I started falling in love with the typical aquarium shape, and I thought it would be the perfect opportunity to switch the corals over to a mini cube, with a much flatter and less coral crushing option. This setup was quite the improvement, or so I thought. I had an AquaClear 50 filter on the back with chaeto macro algae growing in it, and everything was going super smoothly until I realized how much water I was losing to evaporation, about an inch a day. Needless to say this traditional aquarium setup only lasted about 3 months.
I finally decided to jump back into a reef vase styled setup and plopped all the rock and coral from the 5 gallon into this final permanent bowl setup with a deep sand bed. The reason for the deep untouched sand bed (besides stability) is the incredible creatures that come to inhabit it! I'm an absolute fanatic for marine worms, but beyond that, this setup is literally fool proof and is by far my favorite due to its simplicity, lack of problems, and it overall just looking like an odd piece of living art.
I started in the hobby after a trip to Croatia where I fell in love with the sea. After doing some research I realized the diversity of species that one can house in our home aquariums, I quickly became obsessed with the hobby. At the time I was a student and didn't have much of a budget, nor the space to fit anything large in my apartment. I eventually fell upon Maritza the Vase Reef and Brandon Mason's vases which instantly inspired me due to the hands on approach as well as the cost effectiveness of these small setups. Seeing multiple species of coral surviving in such a small space without all the expensive equipment spiked my interest, and after doing a significant amount of research on coral, maintenance, pests and all the information I could find I started the reef jar.
Starting this tank with Brandon Mason's help was very different from how most people start their tanks, which I only learned later on. I did no testing to determine if my tank was cycled. I was simply instructed to smell my rock to see if it smelt of the ocean, and to inspect it for microfauna. Both of those criteria checked in and two days after setting it up, I had my first coral.
Over time I started leaning towards keeping soft corals due to their hardiness and shape, as well as easy manageability in such a small space. They fill in very well and can often coexist well with other coral types. So my bowl took a turn from being SPS and LPS dominated to eventually being soft coral dominated.
There has only been one disaster that I very recently combatted. I bought an immobile Coco Worm with no tube in an attempt to save it, but it quickly decayed and released mucus throughout my whole tank, nearly killing everything other than my palys. Though I was worried, I didn't really panic. The reason for the calmness was that I knew exactly how to fix the problem. Having such a small system allows for some quick action that would be much more difficult to do in a large tank. I simply removed the worm, sucked up all the mucus, and did a 100% water change every day (3 days) until the coral bounced back. I had only one loss from the incident, a section of my birdsnest was hit directly with the mucus and died of rapid tissue necrosis, but I fragged it and saved enough to make another frag. This type of manual reefing is what got me really interested in these small setups, it allows me to have 100% control of any situation in the bowl. Almost anything that is harmful in water quality can be solved by a 100% water change which is why I do not bother to test the water, I simply observe my coral because in the end any problem I encounter will require a water change to fix as I cannot add carbon, or dose anything, in this simple setup.
My biggest tip for new reefers and reefers in general is do not chase ideal parameter numbers. Numbers are different for every tank, we do not have the same amount of coral, rock or sand. So these parameters are all just a very very very rough guideline. You have to observe your corals, these are your indicators. Also testing in general, in my opinion, can be counter intuitive due to the fact that there are natural things in your tank consuming nutrients and you'll often get false readings. For example: people who have algae problems test their tanks and say that their readings are good but they still have algae issues! The reason the readings are good is because the problem algae is consuming your high nutrients so you will always get a reading of zero. Until you eliminate the problem there is no way you can test properly.
For these bowl setups you really do not need to feed as much as me, once before a water change per week or every two weeks will suffice. I only do this for the health of my many tube worms, so this kind of system setup is essentially even simpler than I currently have it.
I do not really believe in them, though I do find acropora and bounce shrooms very beautiful, they are not my favorite coral. My favorite corals I've actually gotten for free from my LFS. Large polyped palythoa are my absolute favorite coral of all time, and my LFS throws them at me because they're invasive as heck! All that I mean to say is to find the coral that you enjoy observing most, because in the end you're the one watching your tank and doing the maintenance, and people will always enjoy seeing healthy colonies of any coral no matter how much they're worth!
You have so many beautiful corals and other livestock packed into such a small space, and I agree, it looks like a beautiful piece of living art! I was especially interested to see the transformation that occurred with the transfer to the different tanks.
Heyyyy congratulations! Can't wait to get home and read your write up.
Thanksss! Your tank is still one of my favorite!

ACER > français > Électricité > Framework Guidelines & Network Codes > Grid connection
European Stakeholder Committees (ESCs)
European Stakeholder Committees (ESCs) have been established to inform and consult stakeholders about the requirements in the guidelines/network codes during the implementation period.
Grid connection covers all the issues to establish and maintain a physical connection between the transmission and / or distribution grid and the grid users. Grid connection is used as a synonym for network connection, which is one of the areas for a network code according to Article 8(6) (b) of Regulation (EC) 714/2009.
The objective of European rules on grid connection is to develop a harmonised electricity grid connection regime that will support a more efficient and secure system operation (particularly important in the context of an increasing penetration of intermittent generation) and will contribute to creating a level-playing field for competition in Europe.
The network code on requirements for grid connection of generators entered into force on 17 May 2016. It is binding and directly applicable in all Member States as Commission Regulation (EU) 2016/631.
The network code on demand connection entered into force on 07 September 2016. It is binding and directly applicable in all Member States as Commission Regulation (EU) 2016/1388.
The network code on requirements for grid connection of high voltage direct current systems and direct current-connected power park modules entered into force on 28 September May 2016. It is binding and directly applicable in all Member States as Commission Regulation (EU) 2016/1477.
All three network codes provide Member States three years from the date of their publication in the Official Journal of the EU to implement the requirements, save for a handful of requirements that become applicable sooner.

A Reverse Mortgage unknown to many, can be used by anyone for any reason. As long as you own your home, have adequate equity and are of at least the healthy age of 62 or better, you may be able to qualify for a Reverse Mortgage.
There is nothing that says what you are or are not allowed to spend the money on. Pay bills, by a car, spoil your grandkids, fix up the house or even take up underwater basket weaving. The choice is yours. Below are some common uses for taking out a Reverse Mortgage.
Extra Retirement Income – Let's face it. For many Americans, we don't make it to retirement with as much money as we would like or need. Some had great retirement accounts before the economy tanked. Some had absolutely nothing and are living on just Social Security.
Your home is likely the single largest investment you made. You can use the equity and convert it to cash to add to your income. Many older Americans are just barely making it by. And most choose not to share this fact with friends and family because of the dignity factor.
A Reverse Mortgage can help give you back your independence and dignity by helping you to meet your financial obligations. The increasing costs of healthcare, prescription drugs, gasoline, and everything else have had huge impacts on the financial lives of hundreds of thousands of seniors across the country.
Home Improvement, Upgrades, Remodeling – Add that extra room, Upgrade your Kitchen or Bath, New Carpet, New Roof, Walk in Tub, you decide! We all want to spice up life a bit. Bringing your home up to modern style can bring a smile to your face and add new life to your home.
Estate Planning – Give money to your kids now, rather than after you die. Wouldn't be better to share it with them while you're alive and enjoy the act of giving? Wouldn't it be nice to SEE your great grandchild ride the bike you bought him or her? Wouldn't it be nice to see your grandson going to college with the money you gave them? You can't do that after you die!
If you have a large estate, you can use the interest accrual to offset Estate Taxes after you pass away. *Seek legal advice from an Estate Planning Attorney on the details of this.
Prevent Foreclosure – You may be able to use a reverse mortgage to prevent losing your home. Even if you are a slightly upside down in your equity position, a lot of banks and lenders have been willing to accept a less than owed payoff versus going through an entire foreclosure or short sale procedure. It costs them less, and you get to stay in your home FOREVER, without a payment. You can stop foreclosure proceedings in many cases if you are approved for a reverse mortgage. Speak to a Reverse Mortgage Professional about your situation to see if this may be an option.
Luxury Spending – Yes, believe it or not, some people just want to DO MORE during retirement. Do the things you always wanted to do, but couldn't afford. Buy that new car, travel to Paris, second honeymoon with the Misses, whatever you want the money for, it's yours to do whatever you want with. There are no limitations on what you can use the money for.
As you can see, a Reverse Mortgage can be used for just about anything. The real issue comes down to YOU. Does it make sense for YOU.

Q: How to Create an Interactive Selection Based Visualization I am totally new to Power BI, so your help would be much appreciated.
I have gone through a couple of beginners tutorials and am now trying to practice by creating my own dashboards.
If I have a table that looks like this:

I want to have the dashboard let me select (by clicking) the person I want to view, and once clicked, it should highlight (change color) of the names of the sports that they play.
Examples:

and:

How would I go about accomplishing that?
Thank you for your time!
I've looked into several visualization options, but I believe I am missing something still in terms of knowing functionality.

A: For those reading this in the future, here's the solution that I found.
There is a visualization that's available for free in the Power BI marketplace called ChickletSlicer that lets you do exactly that.
Cheers.
