Grenfell tower victims to be given luxury housing
Victims of the fire in Kensignton to be given new homes in luxury new tower block
The survivors of the Grenfell Tower will be offered 'luxury housing in Kensington, London, the government has said. The details of how they will be provided are unclear.
The one, two and three-bedroom flats are located in two blocks that stand alongside a large luxury development, where private homes go from £2.0m up-to £8.5m.
So far 79 confirmed deaths of the tower inferno which devastated the local residents last week and many more were left homeless after fire engulfed the tower in dramatic fashion. Since then the failures in social housing in the borough have become apparent and the richest borough in the country, as well the government, have come under scrutiny and this disaster has become a social catastrophe.
"People were left without belongings, without roofs over their heads, without even basic information about what had happened, what they should do and where they could seek help," she told MPs in the Commons.
"That was a failure of the State – local and national – to help people when they needed it most. "As prime minister, I apologise for that failure." Unfortunately, this housing scheme seems like a 'buyout' to the poor and destitute that have had their lives destroyed by the fire. Especially since the fire started in a small and manageable way, yet managed to take the entire tower down.
Since the fire, some of the families have been staying in hotels and B&B's, and there were concerns that more permanent housing would be offered in other parts of the country.
But Kensington Row complex is just over 1.5 miles from Grenfell Tower near Westfield shopping center. It includes a 24-hour concierge service and a private cinema, the website of developer St Edward says, but it is thought unlikely the new tenants from Grenfell will have access to such facilities.
Each new home in the two blocks set aside for social housing will be fully furnished and completed to a high-specification, and should be ready by the end of July. Some direction and solace for the victims who have been living day by day and relying on the support by donations and hundreds of volunteers on the ground since last week.

Dragons of Prophecy
Subject: Dragons of Prophecy Tue Oct 23, 2012 8:38 pm
It was silent that night. No animals in the forest dared to make a sound. Only the occasional whistle of the wind. You would think yourself to be deaf at one point, if you hadn't soon heard a slow beat... The beat of dragon wings. Because high up in the dark sky, a glimmer of red and gold flashed in the air. A very, very large and very dangerous dragon. It's scales came down into a sharp point and were harder than diamonds -- as all dragon scales were -- and had a deep crimson color too them, while it's underbelly was an array of different golds and ambers. It's eyes had to be the most unique thing about the beast, though. They looked as if they were made of thousands of crushed emeralds, it's teeth long and curved like hooks. Tongues of orange and red flames flickered around it's mouth as it flew, giving a growl every now and then from aggravation.
Nestled between it's shoulder-blades on a small leather saddle, was a man dressed in red battle-armor. Like his dragon, he had red hair and deep sea green eyes. But he wasn't like any normal man. His skin was gray and at the tips of his fingers were claws, along with having vampire like teeth. Gill. One of the Emperor's many followers and generals, and very powerful. He didn't care about how Krakix didn't like flying at night due to the coolness, as all Pyrus dragons did, but he needed to talk to the Emperor and that was that.
Seeing his destination, he leaned down further inbetween Krakix' shoulder-blades to protect himself from the wind and to prepare for the sharp drop he was about to take. Dive, Krakix. Go to the cliffs, and make this fast, Gill thought. Without complaint, the dragon folded its wings against it's side and aimed itself straight down. It was only fifty feet before Kraxix snapped open his wings to break the dive. Beating his wings furiously as he reared up, he landed with a loud thud. Twenty feet away, was a large cave. Purple flames flickered from inside. Krakix released a loud snarl, lashing his tail around as he lowered himself to the ground so that Gill could get off. Gill leaned down and untied the straps around his legs and ankles and jumped off the dragon with a flip as he landed on one knee. It had been a long way down, but didn't hurt. Looking back up to Krakix, he narrowed his eyes. Stay here, and don't make much noise. Krakix grunted in response, letting out a small burst of flame as he did so.
Walking inside, one would think it was just an ordinary cave. How wrong they would be. It was almost like a palace, only, the walls, ceiling, and floor were made of stone from the cave. In the center of the cave, a large fire burned bright and high towards the ceiling. There were several chairs and blankets, even a few desks with maps and other things on one side. While the other had it's wall covered in different weapons. One's that Gill had never seen before. Sitting near the back of the cave infront of a large black curtain on a large black ebony stone throne, was a very dark and imposing figure. He looked almost exactly like Gill, yet he seemed a bit older and had yellow eyes with long black hair that barely reached past his shoulders. His chin rested on his fist as he stared at Gill with a devilish smirk playing along his lips.
"Gill," He spoke quietly. His voice was deep and low, and seemed to have a bit of a growl behind it. So calm, yet so dangerous. Gill lowered his head and bowed deeply while keeping his eyes focused on the ground. "Sire," Gill replied. "I have good news. We have acquired the Aquas dragon egg. It will shall hopefully be brought to your possession by the next full moon." Silence echoed throughout the cave except for the crackle of fire.
"... Emperor Barodius?"
"Tell me, Gill... How many eggs are there?"
Gill sucked in a breath. "Six, sire."
"And how many do I have in my possession?"
"... Three."
"Precisely." Barodius hissed venomously. "Only three. We only have a year left, until all the eggs hatch. And we need all six fulfill our plan. And if the other three eggs are in the hands of the enemy.."
Still staring at the ground, Gill stayed as still as a statue. The only sign of movement his breathing.
"You promised me two.. And you have failed to deliver, Gill, as always. Now the question is.. how to ensure I get the other eggs.."
Gill's eyes widened and he looked up at Barodius with a hiss. He wouldn't dare!
The Emperor's face was emotionless. "Dharak."
And in one swift motion, the black curtain sprung to life. But it wasn't a curtain. It was a dragon. The beast had been covering itself with its wings and using the shadows as an illusion. Dharak let out a large roar that shook the whole cave and knocked Gill to his feet. He was barely able to roll to the side as Dharak thundered past him. Once he had crawled out of the cave, Gill heard a snap and the gut-churning scream of a dragon. His dragon. Krakix. The only discomfort he felt was a slight sting on his throat and a scratching feeling on his back, but he ignored it as he bolted to the entrance of the cave.
Krakix was letting out cries of agony as he struggled underneath Dharak. Dharak was so huge, that he almost made Krakix look like a hatchling. Dharak had Krakix pinned beneath him, his powerful jaws clamped down hard behind Krakix' head. Krakix tried claw Dharak but failed miserably. A powerful battle-dragon reduced to a whimpering hatchling. Crying out in agony, Krakix looked to his master for help. But Gill knew Krakix should be dead right now. Dharak wasn't even trying. Gill whirled around only to come face-to-face with Barodius, whose eyes were distant and cold with a deathly look in them. A look that could kill if it could.
"Bring me the other three by the next full moon, or your dragon will suffer the price for your failure."
Gill could only give a solemn nod in response. Barodius kept his eyes on Gill as he spoke, "Dharak. Release it." There was a thud, and Gill turned around to see Krakix laying motionless on the ground. Bleeding badly at the neck and exhausted, but alive. But Dharak lingered over the fall red dragon. Dharak looked like a large black phantom against the night sky, the only color you could see being the red slits for his eyes. Everything else was just solid black. But even then, Gill could see the blood dripping onto the soil from his jaws. He backed away a few feet and buried his talons into the ground with a loud hiss as his gaze landed on Gill, arching his neck like a cobra ready to strike at it's prey.
Dharak gave out another loud roar that shook the very bones in Gill's body, snapped out his wings, and disappeared into the night. But in Gill's head, he swore he heard the words, Pathetic weakling, echo in his thoughts. He heard Barodius walk away back into the cave while Gill hurried over to Krakix and prepared himself to cast a healing spell. It would take a lot of energy, and Gill knew he'd be exhausted by the end of it. All he knew was, he needed to find those eggs... Or Krakix, and most likely himself, would end up dead.

Spotlight for this week is on SBMAT Ambassador, Esther Houghland. Many of you probably "know" her from her lovely antics and posts in Tri-Fecta, but she's a great joy to know and a fabulous ambassador for women who tri.
Biggest Inspiration: My Cray Cray Family! My husband is my rock! He has been a consistent supporter of everything I do. When I decided to go back to school for my Master's degree, he was there for me. As for racing, Robbie is my cheerleader, photographer, mechanic, tear wiper, parent (telling me to rest) and the person to tell me that I can complete anything. I am my strongest when I see him smiling and cheering me on. He has coined many phrases that have lifted me up but "Embrace your inner Jiggle!" is my favorite.
Our two girls (age 10 and 12, but they really think they should be able to drive and have a credit card) ground us and their smiles and laughter fuel our zest for life. I want to show our children that hard work will never fail you! We believe in laughter and our family. Finally Meredith Atwood is my hero! After reading her book, I was energized and wanted more than anything to become a triathlete. When I grow up, I want to be like her! The only problem. I'm older then her!
Scary 2015 Goal: Yikes…. Ironman Arizona and HITS Lake Havasu Full.
How Triathlon Changed Me: My motto is "I'm alive! So why not!" After losing 70 plus pounds, I needed a healthy way of getting into shape. Triathlon has made me appreciate me and taught me patience! Strengths and flaws! Before triathlon, I had a difficult time believing in myself and expected changes to be immediate. The that moment changed me was when I was the last triathlete to cross the line during the Arizona Espirt deShe. I was ready to give up and the thought of making this my last race entered into my mind. Embarrassed and defeated, I just wanted to hide.
Then these fabulous girls from the Tucson Tri Girls who already finished and rocked the race return back to the run course to make sure everyone was okay. Totally perfect strangers came back and believed in me! They didn't allow me to give up and became my biggest cheerleaders! They ran with me the whole last leg of the race and got me water. Some of them even ran forward to make sure that the aid stations and cold towels were ready.
When the finish line approached, they dropped back and allowed me to cross the finish line alone. If total complete strangers believed in me, well I better do that too. I embrace my flaws but I love my strengths. Who cares that I was dead last! My biggest regret! I should have asked those fabulous ladies to cross the finish line with me.
Favorite Piece of Gear: My SBM Tri top and Tri shorts! Hawt/Sizzle and comfortable! Slick Laces!
I Race For: I race for myself and my family. I love seeing my family waiting for me at the finish line!
How I Pay It Forward: At work, I am an active mentor for our students (I'm a Nursing Instructor). We are involved with food bank donations, school supply drive and fund raiser for the Asthma Walk in Phoenix. I have been known to go to races to cheer on friends who are racing. As a nurse, I have helped people who are injured or hurting during races. While participating in the annual Scale the Strat fund raiser in Los Vegas, one participant started to have difficulty finishing the stair climb to the top of the Stratosphere. I stopped and assisted that individual until help arrived. I would love to get more women involved in triathlons.
I played competitive hockey when I was a kid (but I still have all my teeth). I love Star Wars and Star Trek. I call me myself a CanAsian (I'm of Asian descent that grew up in Canada).
I enjoyed your post so much, and am now following your blog! I am 44 and a grandma, as well as a triathlete who regularly finishes in the bottom half of my age -group. We are out there and that's what counts!
Your poutine comment made me laugh! I'm in Ottawa for business and the whole way up I kept wondering how far the nearest place for poutine would be from my hotel. I'm from Chicagoland. There's one place in town that has it on their menu. It's ok, but it tastes better in Canada!
Happy to see an AZ ambassador! How do we find out if there are any local SBM shenanighans?

Q: Probability of exactly one event out of N I've been all the morning searching for this and I ended with nothing clear...
So I'm studying for my statistics exam an one excercise asks this:
If we have four computers A, B, C and D, whith each one of them having a chance to fail independant of the others( P(A) = 0'1; P(B) = P(C) = P(D)= 0,2 ). What is the probability of exactly one of them failing?
I've been looking here and there and ended with nothing. I found that in case of having exactly one of two uses the formula: P(A)+P(B)-2P(A)·P(B) but, i can't see how to escalate this to exactly one out of N (being N = 4 in this case).
Thank you everyone for your help :)

A: First calculate the probability of just A failing and B,C, and D not failing, which is $0.1 \cdot 0.8 \cdot 0.8 \cdot 0.8$
Now do the same for B failing and the other not failing, and then for C and D
Finally, add those all up

Newswise — A report from the University of Maryland School of Pharmacy concludes that consumers are facing a growing risk of getting counterfeit drugs because of rising Internet sales of medical drugs, projected to reach upwards of $75 billion by 2010. The report calls for stronger enforcement legislation than current proposals in Congress.
Counterfeit drugs get into the U.S. through different sources, but those through illegitimate Internet sites are of special concern, says report author Francis Palumbo, PhD, executive director of the School's Center on Drugs and Public Policy at the University of Maryland, Baltimore.
"When consumers buy from those, it is definitely buyer beware. They are often not licensed anywhere we are aware of," says Palumbo. He says the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) "has been pulling its hair out over the years trying to deal with rogue Internet sites, the terminology they [FDA] use."
The report, "Policy Implications of Drug Importation," published in the journal Clinical Therapeutics, tracks the growing "challenge" to U.S. drug regulators and pharmaceutical companies from the growth of imported drugs. The report also addresses the national debate over drug importation policies.
The FDA also cooperates with other countries to try to stem the tide of illegal Internet sites that ship drugs to the U.S. See: www.fda.gov/buyonline/. Ilisa Bernstein, PharmD, FDA's director of pharmacy affairs, says, "When we do hear about an incident"¦,we follow up. But to stop it entirely would be difficult."
Another concern, says Palumbo, is that unlicensed and unregulated drugs may find their way into pharmacies. "We are trying to keep the wolf away from the door and yet there are ways counterfeiters can inject their products into the drug distribution system in the U.S. and may end up in some pharmacies. These are often introduced through the conduit of some secondary wholesalers." He adds that many secondary distributors are "very legitimate" ; they buy products from other wholesalers.
Within the U.S., counterfeiting of drugs is likely "quite low," he says. Internet sales are generally from foreign pharmacies that may not primarily serve the citizens of their country—enabling them to avoid the standards their government requires for drug manufacturing and safety, concluded a 2004 report by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
Also, some pharmacy chains have decided to work only through primary wholesalers and required them to have accreditation from organizations such as the National Association of Boards of Pharmacy (NABP), and other qualifications, to show that they have not purchased from questionable sources. Palumbo says, "This is a major step forward."
Bernstein says recent FDA studies show is that 50 percent of people buying online get generic drugs "which tells us people are perhaps bypassing their doctors. That is very dangerous."
In response to public concern for the safety of pharmacy practices on the Internet, the NABP developed the Verified Internet Pharmacy Practice Sites ( http://www.nabp.net ).

Top 5 Reasons to Become a Sleep Technologist
Sleep medicine is a fascinating and rapidly expanding field of expertise. New advances in sleep medicine, technology, and a growing public awareness into the health consequences of sleep disorders, have led to an increasing need for qualified sleep technologists.
If you have an interest in sleep medicine, a strong work ethic, enjoy direct patient care, have an ability to adapt to a variety of working hours, and a penchant for learning new and exciting procedures, a career as a sleep technologist may be the right path for you.I asked a number of current sleep technologists from both The Alaska Sleep Clinic and Capital Health Center for Sleep Medicine a few questions about their line of work, and asked them to describe why they enjoy their particular line of work and to give advice to prospective sleep technologists.
Sleep medicine is a fascinating area of study
Rita Brooks, Director of Diagnostic Services at Capital Health System, had an early fascination with sleep medicine while the field was still in its infancy. Having heard about early polysomnogram tests and a desire to help her suffering mother, Brooks took it upon herself to learn sleep medicine. She says:
I was an EEG technologist in the early 1980's when my father told me my mother did not breathe when she slept at night. I read up on how to do a polysomnogram, borrowed an oximeter from the [operating room], and did my first sleep study on an old Grass machine. It was a very abnormal PSG. I asked many physicians in the hospital if anyone knew how to read a sleep study. Dr. Frank had a sleep fellowship as part of her pulmonary training and was very interested. We started the sleep center at my hospital that year with me working days in EEG, going home to sleep 4-5 hours, then coming back to work nights once a week. We did 10 sleep studies the first year.
Meridith Kearse, RPSGT for The Alaska Sleep Clinic, said, "I became a sleep tech because I have always been fascinated with the brain and its many intricacies."
Others transferred from fields they believed to be stagnant to join a field that had more opportunities for learning and advancement. Says Sue Kochis, RPSGT for Capital Health Center for Sleep Medicine:
I became a sleep tech for change. I was in neuro for 20 years and it was becoming stagnant. Many of the tests I was performing were not really necessary, and I started to doubt healthcare and my role. At the time, the lab I worked in shared space with the sleep center. I always thought that sleep was an interesting field and wanted to learn more. I began reading about sleep apnea and when a position was available I was allowed the opportunity to come in one night and observe. I knew right then and there that I would like to apply for a sleep tech position.
You enjoy quality patient care
Nearly all sleep technologists agree that one of the most rewarding parts of the job is their direct work with patients. When dealing with patients suffering from obstructive sleep apnea, treatment for the disorder can sometimes offer instant relief from symptoms, and many patients experience a full night's sleep for the first time in years. Sleep medicine is one of the few fields where patients can show a vast improvement in a short time line, and it is one of the most enjoyable aspects of working as a technologist.
Ashley Vedrode, RPSGT for The Alaska Sleep Clinic, says that some patients come in because their spouse made them and don't even realize how severe their problems are until after they have the study. "The majority of my patients do not even know they feel bad," she says, "They think their sleep troubles are 'just how it is.'" She further jokes, "I'm not a neurosurgeon or anything, but I improve quality of life for people."
Vedrode's sentiment rings true with many other technologists like David Bigelow, who says the best part of being a sleep technologist is "being able to directly improve the quality of a person's sleep and life."
Others enjoyed the fact that they work with fewer patients a day than other fields and are therefore able to build stronger relationships with them. "The best part was becoming involved not only with the diagnostic aspect, but to actually help apnea patients by controlling their breathing with CPAP," says Sue Kochis, "Working overnight with one patient enabled me to establish a rapport with my patients as opposed to the neurodiagnostic studies where you see several patients all day."
There are multiple ways to break into the field
To become a registered polysomnographic sleep technologist one must get credentialing from the American Board of Sleep Medicine (ABSM), The Board of Registered Polysomnographic Technologists (BRPT), or the National Board for Respiratory Care.
While formal education is generally recommended for becoming a sleep technologist, many technologists got their start working at a sleep clinic while studying for their credentials. After credentials are received sleep technologists must complete 50 continued education credits (CECs) every 5 years to maintain credentials or retake the RPSGT/RST examination. To learn more about earning CECs click here.
Some sleep technologists even got their start at an early age. Vedrode states:
I started working in sleep labs at around age 12 doing filing, insurance verification, and scheduling. By 17 I was doing direct patient care. At 18 I had to quit working in childcare to take on additional responsibilities and travel to remote labs. I became registered at 21.
Kiera Jablonski admits that much of her education was formal through ASTEP, but she "learned the most on the job," and after she passed her examination the clinic she worked at hired her on the spot.
A variety of shifts and job opportunities
While most people associated sleep technologists with working strictly at night while patients sleep, there are actually many positions available to technologists on a variety of shifts.
Many sleep technologists will most likely begin their careers working nights, which is great for "night owls." However, other studies such as multiple sleep latency tests (MSLTs) and maintenance of wakefulness tests (MWTs) need to be performed during the day. There is also a need for DME equipment setups, patient scheduling, and sleep test scoring that creates a demand for sleep technologists to work during the days.
Some people are just built for the night shift, and being an overnight sleep technologist is great for those types of people. "I have no problem working at night," Kearse says, "I actually enjoy it. I have always been a night owl."
Bigelow has a similar view on working nights, "I don't really have any issues, I can change sleep schedules without any trouble."
The night shift isn't for everybody
While some technologists revel in working night shifts, others have a hard time adjusting to it. Some even begin to develop the same sleep disorders they are helping others prevent. "I have god-awful insomnia," states Vedrode, "It is not unusual for me to go several days without any significant sleep."
George Evans, manager at Capital Health Center for Sleep Medicine, works days now but reflects that during his time on night shift he "slept less and was tired often."
Fortunately for sleep technologists, as the industry grows and changes there is more demand for techs to work day shifts. When Kochis made the change to days after 7 1/2 years of working nights she discovered all new challenges to her job. "Once again, I had to learn new skills as the role of the day techs expanded into more patient care."
Even sleep techs need to make sleep a priority
The best way for sleep techs to manage the odd hours they keep is to practice good sleep hygiene and give their sleep precedence in their lives.
"When I worked nights, I packed healthy food, and made sleep a priority the day after (a sleep study)," says Kochis, "I used ear plugs and blinders to block out light and outside noises."
It's not just sleep that some technologists find difficult when working nights, it's that most businesses are operating during their sleep hours. "The world functions during the day," says Vedrode who lives in Alaska, "I try to do a lot of business on the east coast because of the time difference."
Advice for techs interested in a career in sleep medicine
"Plan to learn many aspects of sleep technology as the role of the sleep technologist is rapidly expanding and changing," says Brooks, "Get some formal education–it will take you far!"
"Study hard," says Evans, "Know the fundamentals well."
"Remain open to any and all duties, because you don't have to limit yourself to performing sleep studies at night," suggests Kochis, "There is so much more to being a sleep technologist, as the roles are changing and have become more patient care oriented."
"Getting a position at an accredited lab is crucial in the learning aspect," says Jablonski.

Q: Getting the name/id of a block using commands I want to make a scale datapack in Minecraft, however to do that I need to know which block is currently being 'scanned'. Assuming there was a /whatblock command, I could then ideally do /execute as @e[tag=Small] store result entity @s HandItems string 1 run whatblock ~ ~ ~
Unfortunately, of course basically none of that works, both because Minecraft seems to hate string datatypes and because the /whatblock command doesn't seem to exist. I was playing with the idea of getting an Enderman to pick up the block, thus making it NBT data, but a. I don't know how to force an Enderman to do that and b. The Enderman would then need to pick up pretty much any block, including obsidian, making them extremely dangerous.
Currently, the only other option I can see is to make a giant list for every single block in Minecraft, then go If block ~ ~ ~ stone then set handitem to stone. If block ~ ~ ~ dirt then set handitem to dirt... etc As you can imagine, for each of the 3172 blocks in the game, I'd need a line of code, which would need to run for every single block in the reference build.
As such, any alternative would be greatly appreciated.

A: Thanks to hfanatic I was able to figure it out. The first answer is using the /loot give @s mine command to get the block of whatever is dropped. I can then tell it to place the loot in a block with loot replace block 43 -48 26 inventory.0 mine ~ ~-1 ~ minecraft:netherite_pickaxe{Enchantments:[{id:"minecraft:silk_touch",lvl:1}]} This turns it into NBT data inside the chest, which is identified by the numbered coordinates, the block that is added is the ~ ~ ~ coordinates. These can of course be changed to anything required.
Then to get it into an armourstand's hands I do data modify entity @e[tag=dw.Model.PB,limit=1] HandItems[0] set from block 43 -48 26 Items[0]
It's important that the items[n] in the /loot and /data commands are the same number, along with both numbered coordinates.

When looking for a new nursing job, keep in mind that social medial has become a highly popular tool for job search and networking in nearly all industries, including healthcare. Using social media provides a convenient and effective method to identify new opportunities.
Social medial sites such as LinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube have become important tools for candidates and employers to connect, even at great distances. A such, social media can be a great resource for those nurses seeking to relocate and identify new nursing jobs in other parts of the country—or around the world.
A recent study conducted by CareerBuilder.com found that over 22 percent of hiring managers in all sectors routinely peruse social medial sites to identify viable candidates for job vacancies. The study also found that an additional ten percent of hiring managers plan to incorporate social media into their recruitment strategies in the near future.
Most hiring managers use social media to obtain an impression of the person behind the résumé. In older times, hiring managers had to wait for in-person interview to obtain a 360 degree perspective of job candidates; now all it takes is a simple search of social media profiles.
While nursing skills and knowledge remain the primary factors in hiring decisions by nurse administrators, social media profiles also allow these hiring managers to determine whether the candidate will be a fit with overall facility culture. This determination can be made from the pictures posted to the candidate profile, perusing lists of friends and connections, reviewing groups that candidates belong to, style of language (e.g. word usage), as well as lists of hobbies and interests.
Are nurses and other health care professionals actually using social media as a job search resource?
A 2010 survey conducted by AMN Healthcare, a large healthcare staffing and workforce solutions firm asked nurses, doctors, as well as allied health personnel about their use of social media to help with job search. Of the nearly 1,250 healthcare professionals who took part in the survey, 60 percent reported to have been involved in job search over the past two years, 26 percent reported being actively involved in full time job search at the time of the survey, 21 percent claimed to be seeking contract or temporary work, and 14 percent were actively seeking part time work.
Respondents noted that their preferred job search methods included (in order of priority) in-person and social media networking, referrals, direct contact with potential employers, search engines, and healthcare job boards.
Specifically, of those who participated in the survey, about 2 in 5 claimed that they used at least one social media during their job search. Allied health professionals (23 percent) and nurses (22 percent) used social media most often, followed by pharmacists (18 percent) and doctors (15 percent). However, outcomes have been somewhat mixedt with only 6 percent reporting being invited to an interview and 3 percent being offered a job they identified through social media.
The results showed that most health care professionals (37 percent) use social media for networking rather than direct job search. Top sites, in order of popularity, for networking were reported to be Facebook, YouTube, LinkedIn, MySpace, and Twitter. Nurses, at 41 percent, had the highest usage of social media for professional networking. When asked which social media site they would use if they had the choice of only one, the majority of respondents (64 percent) reported they would use Facebook.
Recent studies suggest that over 1000 hospitals throughout the country now host a presence on one of the social media sites, most often Facebook and Twitter but LinkedIn as well. Nearly 10 percent of these hospitals also host their own blogs so that it seems many hospitals are using social media for a variety of purposes; i.e. networking, recruiting and marketing. For example, Twitter and Facebook provide a venue for healthcare facilities to post information regarding their health care services and education programs, while LinkedIn is a popular site for posting nursing job opportunities.
The growing popularity of social media means that these sites can be a very valuable tool for nursing job search. However, to be successful you will need to develop a presence that will serve as an effective marketing tool and get the attention of nursing administrators.
Limit the information you include in your social media profile to that which you would want a potential employer to see. While you want to establish a warm and friendly tone, keep your profile professional with no slang or impolitic language. Post pictures in keeping with the professional image you wish to portray. Best to use a picture in which you are dressed in professional attire as you would dress if going on an interview.
The most appropriate time to create a professional profile is BEFORE you begin your nursing job search. Keep in mind that you may be in consideration for a nursing job without your even being aware of it should potential employers be perusing social media profiles for viable candidates. Any delay in removing less than professional content leaves you open to the risk that a potential employer may read it with the result that you are knocked out of the running before you even know you were in it!
Unless you limit access to your friends or connections list, potential employers will be able to view these lists and view select profiles as well. As they say, "we are judged by the company we keep" so exercise sound judgment in who you choose to connect with–or at least hide these lists.
While the purpose of social media is to connect with others who share your personal interests, it will advance your candidacy if you also join professionally-based groups. With regard to nursing jobs, there are many associations representing nearly all nursing specialties that maintain a presence on most of the major social media sites. Not only will this provide evidence of your active involvement in professional activities but the connections you make can also help you tap into the hidden job market.
Just as nursing administrators may be perusing social media profiles so, too, may your current employer. Picture your supervisor perusing profiles only to come upon yours and discovering that you have been very busy on your days off searching for a new nursing job. At the least this will result in an awkward relationship between yourself and your boss; at the most it could seriously jeopardize your future employment with the facility. Even if your supervisor does not see your profile it is likely that one your colleagues may see it and inadvertently mention your job search around the facility.

What Schooling Is Required to Be an MRI Technician?

4 What Courses Do You Need to Be an Ultrasound Technician?
Magnetic resonance imaging is one of several methods used to reveal the body's internal structures and functions for research and diagnostic purposes. Through the use of a strong magnetic field and radio pulses, MRI technicians can create detailed images of tissues throughout the body. It's especially useful for soft tissues concealed by bones and other dense tissues, in areas such as the brain and joints. These MRI technicians, or technologists, usually enter the field with an associate degree in MRI technology or radiography.
Some technologists enter the field by training directly in the use of magnetic resonance imaging. This usually takes the form of a two-year associate degree, though some schools offer four-year bachelor's degrees, as well. The curriculum provides future technologists with a grounding in the humanities and basic sciences, then goes on to teach the principles and detailed practical aspects of magnetic resonance imaging. Programs also include practical instruction, giving students supervised opportunities to perform imaging procedures in a clinical setting. Graduates are eligible for licensing in most states, and can test for certification through the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists.
Post-Primary Pathway
Many technologists become certified in MRI after previously earning credentials in radiography or another health-care field. This is referred to as the post-primary pathway. Since the candidate's previous training provided the basic sciences and humanities courses, these programs are typically one year or less, and focus entirely on the specific skills and knowledge necessary for magnetic resonance imaging. Successful graduates of these one-year certificate programs are as qualified as students from a two-year degree program, and are often more effective due to their experience in a related field.
Requirements for licensing and certification vary by state. Some require MRI techs to hold a national certification, while others administer their own state-specific licensing exam. Even in states where certification is optional, certification can provide technologists with improved pay and career opportunities. Certification is provided by the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists for graduates of accredited programs in either the primary or post-primary training path. This includes candidates trained in the military, and some with training from outside the United States. Candidates must take and pass the ARRT's certification exam within five years of graduation from their program.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics groups MRI techs with other technologists in the radiology department for reporting purposes. It projects 28 percent job growth for these radiologic technologists between 2010 and 2020. That's twice the average job growth for all U.S. occupations -- 14 percent. MRI technology doesn't use ionizing radiation, as CT and X-rays do, which makes it especially appealing. A 2010 salary survey by the American Society of Radiologic Technologists reported an average salary of $65,099 for MRI technologists. Staff-level techs averaged $61,663, while supervisors earned an average of $75,234 per year.

Henry Macleod Leslie Rundle, the second son of Captain Joseph Sparkehall Rundle RN., was born at Newton Abbot, Devon, on 6 January 1856. His mother was the daughter of Commander Walter Wemyss Leslie RN. In spite of these naval traditions Rundle chose the Army, and was gazetted from the Royal Military Academy to the Royal Artillery on 14 August 1876. Active, and of smart appearance, he had all the makings of a successful regimental officer, and won a name for keenness and efficiency. Three years later he was specially selected to join a battery on active service in the Zulu War of 1879, with Sir Evelyn Wood's flying column, where he was present at the battle of Ulundi on 4 July and mentioned in despatches. He remained in South Africa with another battery, and was engaged in the Boer war of 1881, being slightly wounded on the right side of the head on 4 March during the defence of Potchefstroom. Sir Evelyn Wood recommended Rundle for the Victoria Cross but it was turned down by the Duke of Cambridge.
When, in 1882, an Expeditionary Force was sent to Egypt he was serving at home, and was selected to join I Battery, 2nd Brigade, 2nd Division, commanded by Sir Edward Hamley, and was present at the battle of Tel-el-Kebir. Shortly after, when the reorganisation of the Egyptian Army was taken in hand by Sir Evelyn Wood, he volunteered for this service, which he entered in January 1893, and remained in it for 15 years.
At the beginning of 1884 Rundle was serving under Major (later Lord) Kitchener in guarding the Nubian Desert with a force of Abadeh Arabs. In the 1884-5 campaign he was employed on lines of communication and received a brevet majority a month after reaching the rank of Captain in March 1885. More important still, he had formed a lasting friendship with Kitchener. From 1885 to 1887 he was with the Sudan Frontier Force engaged in occasional skirmishes. He was present at the action at Sarras in command of some mounted troops, and while with that unit he was awarded the D.S.O. (1887) and the Osmanieh (third class).
In 1886 he was placed at the head of the Egyptian Artillery, then consisting of a few batteries of light guns. In 1889 fresh fighting took place, with a decisive engagement at Toski, where Rundle commanded the artillery. He was mentioned in despatches, and awarded the 2nd class Medijidieh, and on 17 August he received a brevet Lieutenant-Colonelcy. Next, in 1891, he was again engaged in the active operations that culminated in the recapture of Tokar in that same autumn - he was then acting as A.A.G. and in 1892 he became Adjutant-General of the Egyptian Army and spent nearly five years in Cairo, during which time the plans were elaborated for the reconquest of the Sudan. He received his brevet colonelcy in January 1894.
The first advance, led by Sir H. Kitchener, followed in 1896 and terminated with the recapture of the Dongola Province. From June to October Rundle was Kitchener's Chief of Staff and was present at the actions of Firket and Hafir. He was promoted Major-General in November, and was made a C.M.G. In the following summer he commanded a small force that advanced to Merowe, and was Chief of Staff during the advance to Berber. In 1898 he was commandant on the lines of communication until the battle of the Atbara, when he resumed his old position as Chief of Staff. After the battle of Omdurman he took Kitchener's place during the latter's absence at Fashoda, and then led a column up the Blue Nile to the relief of Gedaref. For his services he was created a K.C.B. and received the thanks of Parliament. He returned home in December 1898, and received the command of the old South-Eastern District.
After the outbreak of the South African War he was, in October, appointed Deputy Adjutant General at the War Office, being transferred in the following January to the command of a Division at Aldershot, but was ordered to South Africa in March 1900. He first commanded the 8th Division in Robert's march to Pretoria. Later he was placed in charge of the Harrismith District. During this time he conducted the Dewetsdorp operations, and commanded at the action of Biddulphsberg. He was also at Wittebergen. Later he worked with Sir Archibald Hunter in the Barandwater Basin and commanded the troops in the North-Eastern Free State, where he controlled many of the "drives" organised in that region. In these operations he was slightly wounded. He acquired a reputation for much caution and deliberation - he greatly valued the lives of the men under his command, taking few risks and never meeting with a reverse, and acquiring the fond nickname within the Army of "Sir Leisurely Trundle". He remained in South Africa till the close of the war, and was promoted a K.C.M.G. for his services.
Upon his return to England in 1902, he assumed command of the 5th Division. In November 1903 he was appointed G.O.C. in C. of the Northern Command, and held that position until April 1906, having been promoted Lieutenant-General just one year earlier. For nearly two years Sir Leslie was unemployed, and then, on 10 September 1909, he was promoted General, having been selected in June for the post of Governor and Commander-in-Chief at Malta. He continued in this appointment until after the beginning of the Great War, returning to England in February 1915. On his arrival he was selected to succeed Sir Ian Hamilton as Commander-in-Chief of the Central Force, which then consisted of some 10 Divisions and mounted troops of Territorial Force organised for home defence. From May 1916 he remained unemployed until his retirement in May 1919.
Sir Leslie Rundle had, by his 15 years' service in Egypt, risen from a subaltern of the Royal Artillery to the rank of Major-General in the British Army and to the dignity of the K.C.B. As a young regimental officer he had earned golden opinions wherever he went. In Egypt, he began by displaying all his natural soldierly qualities to good effect, and he served Lord Kitchener with tact and fidelity which met with its reward. He was promoted to G.C.B. in 1911, and G.C.M.G. in 1914. He had been made a G.C.V.O. in 1912. In 1907 he was appointed a Colonel Commandant of Royal Artillery, and he was Honorary Colonel of 3rd Bn. the Buffs from 1899 to 1907. He was a J.P. and also a County Councillor for Hertfordshire. He was a Knight of Grace of the Venerable Order of the Hospital of St. John of Jerusalem., and his wife, Eleanor Georgina, eldest daughter of Captain Henry Jermyn Montgomery Campbell ,R.A., of Thurmaston Hall, Leicester, whom he married in 1887, a Lady of Grace of the Order. His only sister was married to Sir Reginald Wingate. They had no children.
Rundle was a handsome man of smart appearance. During his long military career he earned a reputation for thoroughness and caution. Although scrupulously fair, he was outwardly somewhat unapproachable, except to children, with whom he had a warm rapport.
General Sir Leslie Rundle died on 20 November 1934, in a nursing home at the age of 78. His funeral service was held at St. George's, Hannover Square, and he was buried at Brookwood Military Cemetery.

Sir Leslie Rundle married in 1887, Eleanor Georgina, daughter of Captain H J Montgomery Campbell, EA, who has the King George V Coronation Medal and was a Lady of Grace of St John of Jerusalem in England. The Official 'History of the War in South Africa, 1899-1902' (compiled by Major General Sir Frederick Maurice, KCB; published by Hurst and Blackett), says, in the chapter on "The Defence of Wepener" that "the 8th Division, which had been destined originally for Kimberley, was now, as fast, as its units landed from England, to concentrate at Edenburg, under Lieutenant General Sir Leslie Rundle, who was then to march to Dewetsdorp, get in touch with Brabant, and when the burghers besieging Wepener had been driven north, endeavour to cut them 'off'. On the 18th April Rundle had concentrated his division at Kosendal and next, day moved to Ooorlog's Post, and on the 20th his scouts were met by Boer patrols. "The enemy's advanced posts were found near Wakkerstroom, on the edge of a high plateau, from which rises a long ridge that proved to be the main position. Attempts on the 20th and the 21st to turn the flanks of this ridge were unsuccessful, but on the information obtained during the engagement, Rundle based a scheme for an attack on the 22nd, which he submitted by telegraph to the Commander-in-Chief. In his answer Lord Roberts told him that French was advancing via Leeuwkop on Dewetsdorp with the 3rd and 4th Cavalry Brigades and the 11th division (Pole-Carew), and desired that he should not commit himself to a definite assault until he was in touch with them... . Rundle accordingly halted for the next three days; he pushed mounted reconnaissances round the enemy's right flank, and kept up a desultory shell and rifle fire the operations were conducted was due to Rundle's instructions to wait until the other forces were in position. His subsequent movements showed that he was not a general who feared to strike... . On the Wednesday morning Rundle, with the addition of Pole-Carew's division, was strong enough for any attack, while French was in a position on the flank. Every requisite for a great victory was there except the presence of an enemy. The Wepener siege had been raised, and the force in front of Rundle had disappeared as only Boer armies can disappear... . Lord Roberts failed in his plan of cutting off De Wet's army, but, at the expense of many marches and skirmishes, the south-east of the state was cleared of the enemy".
From Transvaal War Album: Lieutenant-general Sir H. M. Leslie Rundle, K.C.B., C.M.G., D.S.O., R.A. General Rundle, who was called from his temporary appointment as D.A.A.G. at Headquarters to take command of the Eighth Division, ordered to be mobilised in January, 1900, is an officer of very distinguished service, though yet but little over forty-four years of age. Fifteen years ago he was a subaltern of Artillery, and his promotion has been rapid. His first active service was with Wood's Flying Column in the Zulu War, and he was with the Gatling Battery at Ulundi, gaining mention in despatches, an honour which has since fallen to him not less than seven times. He was one of the gallant band which defended Potchefstroom in the Boer War of 1881, when Cronje kept from the garrison knowledge that the war had been concluded and compelled them to surrender when defence was no longer possible. Rundle served with the Field Artillery in Egypt in 1882, being present at Tel-el Kebir. and, during the Nile Expedition in 1884-85 he was sent on special service with the Bedouin tribes. Afterwards he was with the Soudan Frontier Field Force, 1885-87. including the engagements at Giniss and Sarras, in command of the mounted corps as A.A.G. His fine service won him the D.S.O. He fought also in the Soudan in 1889. For some years"

Q: How to get R Igraph values for a weighted PageRank to match Gephi I am working on getting my PageRank values from igraph in R to match those I get from Gephi.  I have followed this example: https://www.briggsby.com/personalized-pagerank
and my igraph values match the weighted values this example has. But Gephi produces a different value for weighted PageRank and I'm unsure why.  When I run this as an unweighted PageRank, I get the same results between igraph and Gephi.
The network I'm importing is simple to get the math correct -

Source
Target
Weight

A
B
1.0

B
C
1.0

C
B
1.0

C
A
0.5

A
C
1.0

C
D
0.1

D
A
0.5

The code I'm using is as follows:
library(igraph);
library(plyr);
set.seed(123);
mydf <- data.frame(from=TestPageRank$Source, to=TestPageRank$Target);
mygraph <- graph.data.frame(mydf, directed = T);
c<-data.frame(users=V(mygraph)$name, page_rank = page_rank(mygraph, directed = T, damping = 0.85, weights = TestPageRank$Weight)$vector, degree=degree(mygraph));

The PageRanks I'm returning are as follows:

Node
igraph Weighted PageRank
Gephi Weighted PageRank

A
0.1960
0.2373

B
0.3373
0.2761

C
0.4075
0.3732

D
0.0591
0.1133

In this example, the ranking is at least the same, but when I apply this to my larger networks with thousands of nodes, the node ranking by PageRank is very different.  Any thoughts on why this might be? Or how I can modify my R code to match the Gephi PageRank values?
Here's the updated code with import:
df <- structure(list(Source = c("A", "B", "C", "C", "A", "C", "D"),
                     Target = c("B", "C", "B", "A", "C", "D", "A"),
                     Weight = c(1,1, 1, 0.5, 1, 0.1, 0.5)),
                class = "data.frame", row.names = c(NA, -7L))

g <- graph_from_data_frame(df)
page_rank(g, weights = E(g)$Weight, directed = T, damping = 0.85)$vector
degree(g)

And the output from the above:
         A          B          C          D
0.19602465 0.33730560 0.40752024 0.05914951

A: I am not able to reproduce your results with igraph. Please provide a minimal reproducible example, with copyable code. You will find guidance here.
Here is your datafile as copyable CSV:
Source,Target,Weight
A,B,1.
B,C,1.
C,B,1.
C,A,0.5
A,C,1.
C,D,0.1
D,B,0.5

We get this after using read.csv:
df <- structure(list(Source = c("A", "B", "C", "C", "A", "C", "D"),
    Target = c("B", "C", "B", "A", "C", "D", "B"), Weight = c(1,
    1, 1, 0.5, 1, 0.1, 0.5)), class = "data.frame", row.names = c(NA,
-7L))

g <- graph_from_data_frame(df)
page_rank(g, weights = E(g)$Weight)

$vector
         A          B          C          D
0.14857410 0.37354978 0.41816130 0.05971482

Using the ARPACK method, which is an entirely distinct algorithm, we get the same:
> page_rank(g, weights = E(g)$Weight, algo = 'arpack')
$vector
         A          B          C          D
0.14857410 0.37354978 0.41816130 0.05971482

These numbers differ from what you quote, but I cannot tell why without a reproducible example.
I should note that I worked on igraph's PageRank code and I believe that it is exceedingly unlikely that it would give incorrect results.


Shipbuilding industry traditionally is one of the most technologically advanced economic sectors. Shipyards have experience in construction of ships of practically any class, type and tonnage. Currently shipyards conduct construction of ships of different classes and purposes. The sector includes largest manufacturers of carrying and automation systems. Ship engines of different capacities, electric motor units, electrical equipment for shipbuilding, screw mechanisms, various types of densifiers, control systems and other equipment is manufactured.
As the organization, that emerged from the structure of FSI "Russian Maritime Register of Shipping", Russian Register has an enormous amount of experience working with shipbuilders and ship repairers and enterprises-suppliers of shipbuilding industry. Moreover, Russian Register is an organization, recognized by Maritime Register of Shipping for assessment of suppliers' activity.

Semi-Artificial Photosynthesis Method Produces Fuel More Efficiently Than Nature
September 4, 2018 - 2 minutes
Scientists at the University of Cambridge have developed a new photosynthesis method that combines biological and synthetic components to produce hydrogen using sunlight as the only source of energy.
"Natural photosynthesis has evolved to store solar energy and to reduce the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide into sugars, but this process is not very energy efficient, approximately 1-2% for most crop plants," Katarzyna Sokół, a PhD Student at the University of Cambridge who took part in the research, told me.
Artificial photosynthesis methods seeking to unlock the full potential of the process have been developed in the past, but they often rely on expensive and toxic catalysts to transform the energy absorbed into fuel. Thus, they are currently not viable to be used at industrial scale.
Sokół and her colleagues use two enzymes as biological catalysts in their semi-artificial photosynthesis method. Hydrogenase, an enzyme present in algae, is used to catalyze the production of hydrogen molecules, whereas the photosystem II is used to catalyze the production of oxygen molecules.
"Photosystem II is the first photosynthetic enzyme in natural photosynthesis and the only enzyme capable of catalyzing water oxidation into oxygen," explained Sokół. "Wiring photosystem II directly to hydrogenase re-creates the photosynthetic pathway."
Experimental setup used to perform the semi-artificial photosynthesis method
These enzymes are combined with synthetic dyes, polymers, and electrode materials to absorb light and transfer it between the different elements of the semi-artificial photosynthesis system. Combined, they are able to absorb more solar light than plants can using natural photosynthesis.
"Compared to the natural photosynthesis, this new system makes more efficient use of the solar light spectrum, delivers high conversion yields, and bypasses several competing metabolic pathways, which is not achievable using synthetic biology or materials science alone," said Sokół.
Although the new system is a promising step forward in the production of fully renewable energy, Sokół points out that the research is still in its early stages.
"The system is a proof-of-concept device and a model system to construct semi-artificial photosynthesis devices, as it is still too fragile to envision real-world applications. However, this platform allows us to replace components and extend the utility from solar water splitting to solar-driven carbon dioxide conversion and replace fragile enzymes by whole cell catalysts in future development."

The Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) said firms suspected of engaging in labor-only contracting will be excluded from the nationwide job fair on June 12, Independence Day.
Labor Undersecretary Jing Paras said firms on the list of suspected labor-only contractors submitted to Malacañang will not be allowed to participate in 21 "Trabaho, Negosyo, Kabuhayan" job fair sites across the country.
Paras was referring to the 3,377 firms that were found either suspected or engaged in labor-only contracting by the DOLE.
"They (job fair participants) are employers who have not been perceived to have violated the law," he added.
