…..a happy school where everyone is valued for who they are.
This SEN information report is a new duty on schools under section 69 of the Children and Families Act 2014. From September 2014 all schools have to publish this report on their website.
At Icknield School we have consulted with governors and parents in writing this report. It tells you about our school and how we can meet the Special Educational Needs of our pupils. If you would like more information about our school, please contact us and you will be very welcome to come along for a visit.
The kinds of Special Educational Needs for which provision is made at Icknield School.
Icknield School is a special school which takes pupils aged 3 – 19 years old who have severe learning difficulties or profound and multiple difficulties. All our pupils have a Statement of Educational Needs which is being transferred to the Education, Health and Care plan although some of our youngest pupils are in the process of being assessed when they start with us.
Our pupils have a wide range of needs, some are autistic, some are wheelchair users but all have developmental delays which mean they do not progress at the same rate as mainstream pupils.
Information about the identification and assessment of our pupils' special educational needs.
We are contacted by the Hampshire Special Educational Needs Department when they have information about a pupil who has educational needs that they assess could be met at our school. Information is sent to the Head Teacher who considers whether we could meet the needs of the pupil. The decision to offer a pupil a place at our school is made by Hampshire SEN department after consultation with the Head Teacher.
If your child's needs could possibly be met at our school, you and your family will be invited to visit our school in order for you and the school to confirm whether it would be an appropriate placement for your child.
If your child is offered a place, the teacher will read the information about your child and consult with you to prepare for your child to start. The teacher will carry out assessments on your child to identify how best to meet his or her educational needs.
All pupils are assessed to identify the level they are working at in all aspects of the curriculum eg speaking and listening; reading; writing; number; attention; independence; social interaction. Ongoing assessment takes place all day, every day by all members of staff; this informs the staff on how well a pupil has progressed and allows the staff to plan the next step in the pupil's learning.
Staff will communicate with you through the home/school book but also by telephone when appropriate. You are invited to consultation afternoons and evenings; 'get to know the class' afternoons; drama productions; sports days; and many other events. Currently all parents are invited to the Annual Review of Statement meetings where the pupil's progress in discussed with parents, staff and other professionals. Parents are encouraged to identify specific targets for pupils. Staff share targets for each individual pupil's learning. Where needed Individual Pupil Behaviour Plans are shared with parents and other staff.
As the Education, Health and Care Plans take over from the Statements of Educational need, a similar meeting with you and other professionals will take place to ensure the needs of your child are being met.
Your child's progress is assessed through p level data. This is collated with data from special schools in over a hundred other counties and comparison of progress shows whether your child is making expected progress. The Head Teacher meets with class teachers to identify barriers to learning/ or successful strategies for learning. Resources and staffing are then deployed to support each pupil appropriately. This includes using Pupil Premium funding and other funding streams. Progress data is shared with the Governing Body who monitor pupil progress and ensure resources are used to best support their learning.
Your child will be taught in a class of between 7 and 12 pupils with one teacher and 4 or 5 learning support assistants. This high number of staff allows pupils to be taught through highly differentiated teaching, using a wide range of resources. Staff liaise closely with other professionals including Speech and Language therapists, Physiotherapists and Occupational Therapists to ensure the holistic needs of pupils are met.
The younger pupils follow the Early Years Foundation Stage curriculum; pupils aged 5 – 16 follow the National Curriculum broken down into small steps to meet their learning needs.
There is a whole school communication strategy with supports all pupils to develop their communication skills with the aim of them becoming as independent as possible in the future.
Pupils use the local wider community to further develop their skills outside of the school environment. The high number of staff support all pupils to access off-site learning activities.
Our 16 – 19 year old students are based in a bungalow in the community where they focus on developing their independence skills, including shopping, cooking and where appropriate using public transport. Most older students access the ASDAN accreditation system; work related learning; residential educational visits; college placements.
A representative from each class attends the School Council, they make suggestions about how to improve the school and they are involved with teacher interviews.
The last Ofsted inspection in March 2012 assessed the behaviour of our pupils as 'outstanding.' A variety of strategies are used to support pupils to learn to manage their behaviour successfully. We have achieved level 2 in the Unicef Rights, Respect and Responsibility award which has established an ethos where everyone respects others and takes responsibility for their own choices.
We have achieved the 'Green Flag' award as an Eco-school, which has helped us to improve our environment.
We have achieved the Healthy Schools Award and learning to make healthy choices is a high priority.
Staff attend appropriate training in order to administer medication that pupils may require during the day.
Who to contact to discuss how SEN are met at Icknield School.
All staff receive induction training when they join the school, this includes basic training on how best to support pupils with severe learning difficulties. Further training is identified through the Performance Management procedures.
Most staff access the following training: Moving and Handling; County Water Safety Award; Team Teach (positive behaviour management); Child Protection training; Fire Safety; Health and Safety; Makaton; using symbols.
Some staff access : Picture Exchange Communication Strategy; PAATHS (autism training); Sensory Curriculum; SLD core training; Elklan communication training; administration of specific medication; Food Hygiene; Midas (mini-bus driving).
Speech and Language therapists, physiotherapists, occupational therapists work closely with school staff to set up and review therapy programmes to support individual pupils' needs.
Advice from the support teachers for visual and hearing impaired pupils is implemented in school.
Our school is fully wheelchair accessible.
There are disabled changing and toilet facilities.
We have a number of mini-buses, one of which is able to transport pupils in wheelchairs.
Throughout the school there are fixed and mobile hoists to transfer non-weight baring pupils to access available resources.
There is a hydro-therapy pool which is used to implement hydro-therapy programmes for pupils.
Pupils attend sports activities off-site including swimming and horse riding for the disabled.
There is a wide range of resources to meet individual learning needs including a sensory room, a soft play room, a wheel-chair swing and a wheelchair roundabout, an outside sensory learning environment.
We use ICT to meet pupils learning needs such as simple switches, an interactive magic carpet, interactive white boards, an opti-beam and iPads.
How are parents, carers, young people currently involved in your educational setting?
Parents are invited to Parents Evenings/Afternoons to discuss the progress/needs of their child. In addition you are always welcome to contact the Head Teacher or class teacher to discuss any issues.
There is a Parent's group that meets monthly to provide support and share knowledge and experiences of caring for children with special needs.
Three parents are members of the Governing Body.
Parents run the 'Friends of Icknield' which is a charity that organises fund raising and social events for anyone associated with our school.
There is a Family Support Worker who provides practical advice to families regarding any issues they identify including sleep problems, behaviour problems, feeding. She helps share strategies that are effectively used at school for use at home.
Staff liaise with social care and health to support the holistic needs of pupils. The educational psychologist provides advice about how best to meet pupils' needs.
How are our pupils involved in their education?
There are 'sibling days' where brothers and sisters of our pupils can spend a day in school to find out more about their sibling's school.
The whole school communication strategy supports all pupils to have a voice and express their opinions about their school and their learning, using switches, objects of reference, photographs, symbols, music and touch cues.
Pupils are supported to assess whether they have achieved their learning targets.
Pupils are given choices within their learning and encouraged to make the most of the learning opportunities available at school.
There is a celebration assembly every week where individual pupil achievements are recognised. The School Council votes for 'The Super Star of the Week,' which is an achievement valued by everyone during the celebration assembly.
What steps should I take if I have a concern about the school's Special Educational Needs provision?
The hearing and visual impairment support teachers advise school staff in order to meet the pupils' sensory needs.
The Speech and Language Therapists work closely with teachers to identify needs and set up appropriate programmes.
The Physiotherapists advise on appropriate physio and hydro-therapy programmes.
The Educational Psychologist works with teachers to meet pupils' learning needs.
The Family Support Worker can support families with sleep issues and with The Positive Parenting Programme.
Who should parents contact if they are considering whether their child should join our school?
How will the school prepare and support my child/young person to join the school, transfer to a new school or transition to the next stage of life?
When a new child is admitted to our school we invite them with their parents for an initial visit when they are shown around our school. They are given information about the organisation of our school, the curriculum, school uniform, school lunches and transport. They are encouraged to look at our web-site to find out lots of other things about our school.
Parents also meet with the class teacher to discuss any issues relevant to their child, such as medication, toileting, feeding etc. If possible the child is invited to spend some time in school before their start date to become familiar with our school. Again, if there is time before the start date, the child will be given a transition booklet, with photos of the school and class mates, for them to have at home and to look at before they start school.
We discuss with parents exactly what is best to help their child successfully start at our school; this may be a gradual introduction starting part-time and slowly increasing or not but we will continually assess and consult with parents to make sure each child has an enjoyable introduction to our school.
If a pupil moves to another school, we will liaise with the new school to ensure that the transfer to the new school is as smooth as possible. Staff from the new school are very welcome to visit us to support the transfer to their school.
Most students leave our school when they are 19 years old. We prepare them for this transition throughout their last three years at school. They learn to become as independent as possible by learning to use public transport, where possible; they may attend a local college for one day a week; they learn to make use of many local facilities. Most students take part in work related learning experience and spend time on residential trips to further develop their social and living skills. We hold meetings with the parents and young person to support them to identify where the young person's needs will be best met, when they leave school. We support students to visit post-19 provision and discuss possible options with them and their parents. When a placement has been found, the staff are invited to visit the student at our school; we will support the student to visit the provision and set up a transition plan to make sure they have a successful transition to their new setting.
Many of our students move on to local day colleges where they continue to develop their independence skills. Some students move on to supported living in the community.

2018 CRN Impact Awards: DiUS and NIB Health Insurance
By Michael Jenkin on Apr 10, 2018 6:00AM
This article appeared in the May 2018 issue of CRN magazine.
Health insurance provider NIB engages in tens of thousands of online chats every year, personally handling customer queries through a team of online agents.
As it pored over a year's worth of chat data, looking for way to improve customer service, the company realised that about half of the conversations it processed related to very specific enquiries from customers or potential customers that required a faster route to resolution.
NIB engaged DiUS, which saw a means for customers to engage with their health insurer in another way. DiUS took home the coveted Customer Experience award at last year's CRN Impact Awards and is now vying for another win in the category.
With NIB, DiUS saw the potential to quickly direct customers' enquiries to the correct service area without the need to push them through a live chat agent, and the NIB chatbot program was born.
The Nibby chatbot enabled NIB to proactively direct customer enquiries and streamlined the customer experience by reducing the amount of rerouting required, it also freed up live agents to deal with more complex issues and high-value customer service delivery.
The chatbot project was NIB first foray into natural language understand and automatic speech recognition technologies, powered by deep learning, in Australia.
DiUS developed Nibby using Amazon Lex, the Amazon Web Services, as-a-service interface for building conversational interfaces using voice and text. DiUS worked with AWS and NIB to implement the solution using a lean and agile approach, integrating Lex updates and new user experience updates as the project moved from the proof-of-concept stage all the way through to delivery.
DiUS was able to create that first proof-of-concept within two weeks, giving NIB confidence that Amazon Lex would be a suitable platform that provided enough tools to ensure that the case management solutions NIB were after could be realised. DiUS worked with NIB to refine and create new user flows for Nibbyu to work with.
New proofs of concepts, user testing, new interfaces and ongoing refinement continued and the solution went live three weeks after the project was kicked off, with DiUS and NIB still working together to refine the chatbot as it went into practice.
Two weeks after it was launched Nibby was completing 24 percent of the tasks it received; after 10 weeks it was completing 70 percent of its conversations, with 26 percent of those handled entirely by the chatbot. DiUS said since launch and from continuous improvement, Nibby was handling customer interactions at a peek of 77 percent, and deflecting calls by resolving customer enquiries through directing to online services.
The companies estimate Nibby has to date deflected about 80 hours worth of customer interactions from a consultant and routed the customer to the appropriate specialised channel for improved customer service. With continued development, Nibby is expected to deflect more than 1500 customer interactions per year from contact centre consultants.
NIB Health Insurance chief information officer Brendan Mills said "Thanks to our partnership we have been able to build Nibby in a faster, more agile way, which has reduced the operational complexity and the cost of running and managing the chatbot."
NIB is now looking at how AI might be able to improve its backend systems as well as other customer-facing activities.
DiUS is a finalist in the 'Customer Experience' category in the 2018 CRN Impact Awards. For a list of all finalists and further details on the awards, please head to the CRN Impact Awards hub. The awards take place during the CRN Pipeline conference. You can get more information and purchase tickets here.

Microsoft Flight Simulator (often abbreviated as MSFS or FS) is a series of flight simulator programs, marketed as video games, for the Microsoft Windows operating system. It is one of the longest-running, best-known and most comprehensive home flight simulator programs on the market. It was an early product in the Microsoft application portfolio and differed significantly from Microsoft's other software, which was largely business-oriented. At 25 years it is the longest-running software product line for Microsoft, predating Windows by three years. Microsoft Flight Simulator may be the longest-running PC game series of all time. In January 2009, it was reported by PCWorld that Microsoft closed down the ACES Game Studio, which was the department responsible for creating and maintaining the flight simulator series. Bruce Artwick began the development of the Flight Simulator in 1977. His company, subLOGIC, initially distributed it for various personal computers. In 1981, Artwick was approached by Microsoft's Alan M. Boyd who was interested in creating a "definitive game" that would graphically demonstrate the difference between older 8-bit computers, such as the Apple II, and the new 16-bit computers, such as the IBM PC, still in development. In 1982, Artwick's company licensed a version of Flight Simulator for the IBM PC to Microsoft, which marketed it as Microsoft Flight Simulator 1.00.

Andre Pierre Charles (born 1968) is an American artist born in Brooklyn, New York and raised in the Bronx. Charles is best known as a 1980s pioneer of the New York City graffiti art movement and for his influence on New York City nightclub and youth culture.

Biography

1980's
Charles began tagging on the streets of the Bronx at age 12 and had his own studio on the Grand Concourse (Bronx) at age 18, known as "The Zone".  The large studio whose name was based on his alias, "Zone" became a gathering place for young graffiti artists in the mid 1980s. It was from there that Charles would extend his reach from the trains and walls of the Bronx to creating memorial walls for friends and neighbors. These memorial walls caught the attention of the public and the press and soon Charles was being commissioned to do memorial walls all over the city. In addition, Charles came to be known as a reporter of a notable person's death. Often if someone died that Charles had an attachment too, during the night Charles would busily create a memorial wall for them which would often land itself on the cover of a New York daily newspaper that morning. Some of the more notable murals included Tupac Shakur, Princess Diana and Mother Teresa.
His talent was recognized early by others in the scene including the artist, Keith Haring, whom he first met in 1982 and was soon collaborating with. Known for his distinctive "Baby" tag, Charles was bombing his "Baby Brandon", usually in the form of a baby image sitting with a pacifier in the Bronx in the early 80's, while Haring was receiving attention for his crawling "Radiant Baby" in lower Manhattan. The image of an infant in their works was not the only similarity, Charles and Haring's treatment of the simple line in each of their works are remarkably similar, which led Charles to re-paint Haring's Pop Shop and many of his murals after Haring's death in 1990.

1990's
Charles contributed his art to many of the night club invites being distributed during this time. This expanded into live art shows within the clubs and being involved with the promotion of specific nights, including Saturday nights at the Manhattan club, Red Zone.

While Haring and Andy Warhol's daytime scene centered on an active artist's studio environment and then socializing and clubs in the evening, Charles' early 1990s influence centered on the street scene primarily located outside the clothing store, Unique Clothing Warehouse on lower Broadway, in Washington Square Park and on Eighth Street (Manhattan).
By 1992, Charles had firmly established the art crew, T.C.T. (The City's Talent) throughout New York City.  At the time, Urban Works, an influential nightclub promotional crew, with an interest in bringing art into the club scene was handling the majority of the nightclub flyer distribution in Manhattan. Charles friendship with Urban Works founder, Joey Sheridan soon led to Urban Works and T.C.T partnering in promoting music and art events that reflected the youth culture of the early 1990s.  In 1992, the New York State Democratic Committee contacted Charles and Urban Works to create a voter registration program that focused on youth registration in the streets and clubs of New York City in an effort to attract the youth vote during the first election of Bill Clinton. The campaign involved and employed over 100 young people in registering other youth to vote.

Andre Charles' T.C.T. crew and Joey Sheridan's Urban Works crew had now technically became one entity. With the Clinton campaign behind them, Charles and Urban Works concentrated much of their energy on their Saturday night party at Red Zone which featured DJ's Stretch Armstrong, Funkmaster Flex and Derrik Foxx. The mission to unite many diverse crowds into one party was being marred by escalating violence in the scene and with the closing of Red Zone and the impending closing of Unique Clothing Warehouse, the idea of Urban Works formally becoming an art gallery was taking shape. Before opening a gallery, Charles, Sheridan and John Elegance the "mother" of a mostly straight ballroom house called the House of Elegance began working closely with Harvey Russack who owned "Unique", or as some called it, "Uniques", "Unique Boutique", but officially called Unique Clothing Warehouse . Russack had been under fire from the neighborhood community board and the police precinct for allowing young people to congregate in front of his store. Russack, Charles and the others felt that the young people were being singled out because they were mostly Hispanic and African-American kids from other boroughs. Charles and Urban Works were often partly responsible for the congregation as that is where they would naturally meet flyer distributors that promoted their club events and the area had created a "before the club" meeting place for many, as well. Russack, Charles, Sheridan and Elegance devised a plan to open up the Lafayette Street side of Unique Clothing Warehouse and create a hangout area with a DJ and an orderly area to manage the distribution of nightclub flyers for Urban Works and other promoters.
In 1993, Charles and Urban Works opened an office and studio space at 43 Bond Street in the emerging NOHO district of Manhattan. It was blocks away from this location that Charles created his homage to Jean-Michel Basquiat at the corner of Bond Street and Lafayette Street

It was also on Bond Street that a friendship with the model, actress and activist Lauren Hutton began.  Hutton noticed Charles work one morning on a gate across from her loft on Bond Street. Intrigued by the art, Hutton came into Urban Works to inquire about meeting the artist. Hutton became an intricate part of the Bond Street studio until it closed in 1997 and moved to Union Square.

Charles output continued throughout the later 1990s and 2000s receiving commissions from Mountain Dew and Lands' End. With the mainstream work, Charles received criticism for "selling out", but Charles defended his choices. In a 2000 interview with Adweek Magazine, Charles was quoted as saying "Detractors say it's selling out, but at the same time, you're breaking boundaries. I want to open doors for other people who are struggling the way I struggled. … I'm going to make the new term 'selling in,' because I'm selling my ideas in that world, just like Warhol."

2000's
By 2005, Charles was creating art for Donna Karan for her DKNY clothing line.

Exercise Sea Breeze 2019 Features 18 Allies in Black Sea
32 Vessels, 24 Aircraft and 3,000 Troops Exercising With Ukraine
HMS DUNCAN, a Royal Navy Type 45 destroyer, has arrived in Odessa in Ukraine, alongside forces from 18 other allied and partner nations, to take part in a major multinational maritime training exercise – Sea Breeze 2019, the Ministry of Defence (MoD) in London announced on 7 July. The exercise will see a combined total of 3,000 troops, 32 naval vessels and 24 aircraft conducting joint training.
DUNCAN, participating in the exercise as part of the Standing NATO Maritime Group 2, is being supported by colleagues from Operation Orbital – the UK training mission to Ukraine. The vessel also hosted Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy as part of the Ukraine Navy Day celebrations in Odessa.
"With a multitude of nations combining a wealth of maritime assets, Exercise Sea Breeze 2019 demonstrates the strength of solidarity between Ukraine and its international partners […] From crucial training exercises to long-term political reform – the UK is committed to standing by Ukraine, whilst Russia maintains its illegal annexation of Crimea," commented Commander of the United Kingdom Carrier Strike Group (COMUKCSG), Cdre Michael Utley while visiting HMS DUNCAN.
Britain has been providing training support to help build resilience and capacity in the Ukrainian armed forces since 2015 and has trained 16,000 personnel to date. Earlier this year the operation expanded to include maritime training, including seamanship, sea survival and maritime tactical training courses.
The UK also supports Ukraine in its institutional reforms in the defence and security sector, helping to drive more effective governance. London will soon introduce a permanent Naval Attaché to the UK Defence Section in Kyiv, to help build Ukrainian naval capability.

Letting go of coffee-at least for the short-term.
As you know, caffeine is a stimulant. As adults, most of us have figured out what time of day we need to quit drinking caffeine in order to sleep at night. The answer is different for everyone. Often we don't realize how much of an impact, even a little bit of caffeine can have on our bodies. When we give up coffee (or whatever stimulant you drink), we have the ability to see if maybe we are more fatigued than we thought, or maybe that one cup of coffee/black tea is what is keeping us from having a great night's sleep!
For me: I have a couple of additional reasons: 1. I don't like to need to rely on a stimulant to function at my highest level. Do I still enjoy a great cup of coffee? Yes (just not every day)! And if you know me, that includes grinding the beans that are fair trade and organic. Which leads to my second reason: Coffee is one of the biggest crops where human slavery still takes place today. That is a big deal. If you are buying cheap coffee, then the person that picked those beans didn't get much compensation for their work. Also, if pesticides are used to treat the crops where those beans are grown, you are putting that junk into your body.
If you didn't take part in the reset, but still want to find out how much you rely on stimulants and/or coffee, then take a break for a week. Schedule it into your calendar now–don't put it off! And then notice how you feel. Do have withdrawal symptoms? If so, don't give up early, stick it out. It could take a week. You will find out that once you don't rely on it, you will have more energy than you think.
Then, as you find your new normal, can coffee be an everyday thing? Yes, but just like everything else, be aware of how it affects you. Be aware of when you have to have it, and the reasons why. If you have found you don't crave it like you did before the reset-awesome! Go with it! Keep noticing what tastes better and is more satisfying. And, then please let me know what you find out!! I love to hear how small changes in habits can create big and positive change in someone's life.

What material is used for bracelets?
Bracelet Origin
Ionized bracelet, karma bracelet, magnetic bracelet
Slap bracelet
Sport bracelet, wristband
Boot Bracelet
POW bracelet
Bracelets can be manufactured from metal, leather, cloth, plastic, bead or other materials, and jewelry bracelets sometimes contain jewels, rocks, wood, shells, crystals, metal, or plastic hoops, pearls and many more materials.
Although the term armlet may be technically similar, it is taken to mean an item that sits on the upper shoulder: an arm ring. The origin of the term 'bracelet' is from the Greek 'brachile' meaning 'of the arm', via the Old French 'bracel'. A bracelet is also a small brace or bracer (an arm-guard used by archers).
Alternative health bracelets, such as ionized bracelets, karma bracelets, magnetic bracelets, Power Balance hologram bracelets, etc., are not distinguished by their design but rather the beneficial function claimed for them by their manufacturers and distributors. Karma bracelets are made from wood beads and may contain various charms, and are associated with bringing good luck and good karma to those who choose to wear it. No claims of effectiveness made by manufacturers have ever been substantiated by independent sources.
If a bracelet is a single, inflexible loop, it is often called a bangle.
Rigid bracelets, usually from metal, wood, or plastic, are referred to as bangles or bangle bracelets. They can be smooth, textured or set with stones. In India, glass bangles are common. Made from ordinary glass that is about 3 to 6 millimetres in width, they are worn in groups so that arm movement causes them to make a gracious sound rather like the clinking of wind chimes. In India, it is also common that young children will wear thin gold bangles on their hands and ankles.
Usually made from loose beads with a center hole and connected by a piece of string or elastic band through the holes.
When worn as ornaments, bracelets may have a supportive function to hold other items of decoration, such as charms.
A charm bracelet carries personal charms: decorative pendants or trinkets which are signifiers of important things, interests/hobbies, and memories in the wearer's life. Are popular with all age ranges, but especially for children. In recent history, Italian charm bracelets have become trendy. While traditional charms dangle, Italian charms feature individual pieces soldered flat onto the surface of the link.
Bracelets made from connecting or linking various or similar components or jewelry findings. Link bracelets can be made of a variety of materials including metals and gemstones.
In the late 1980s and early 1990s, "slap bracelets" – flat, felt-covered metal strips that curved around one's wrist when gently hit against it—were a popular fad. Often adorned with neon colors and vivid graphics, these bracelets could be found at inexpensive retailers. A rumor emerged that "slap bracelets" caused bleeding and puncture wounds and thus fell out of style.
Medical and identity information are marked on some bracelets, such as allergy bracelets, hospital patient-identification tags, and bracelet tags for newborn babies.
Bracelets may be worn to signify a certain phenomenon, such as breast cancer awareness, or for religious/cultural purposes.
The use of colored silicone rubber as a material for producing sports bracelets was popularized by Nike and Lance Armstrong through the Yellow Livestrong wristband starting in May 2003. Their success has led to the silicone bracelet becoming a high cost tool for various awareness, information, and charity campaigns. This can be likened to the use of awareness ribbons for similar purposes. These bracelets are also known as "baller id bands", "baller bands" or "wristbands". They can also be referred to as rubber wristbands, silicone wristbands or gel wristbands.For sport climbing, bracelets are designed with climbing cords (dynamic rope) to serve as a mountain climbing gear.
A possible origin of the name "tennis bracelet" comes from a story of the 1987 U.S. Open when Chris Evert dropped her bracelet on the court and the match was stopped to search for it. Details have been disputed, however, since articles predating the 1987 U.S. Open used the term, and Evert herself remembers losing her bracelet in 1978, not 1987.
A memorial bracelet is a cuff style bracelet worn around the wrist. The term memorial bracelet was coined by Rob Tacy in October, 2001 when he launched the MemorialBracelets.com website. The bracelet is made of either aluminum, stainless steel, or leather and engraved with the name of a person who died or an event. These bracelets are worn as a way to show support, to remember a victim or hero of terrorism or war, to make people aware of a person that has died and the reason for the death, to commemorate an event such as the September 11 attacks on the United States.
In 2014, a story about a memorial bracelet found on a beach in Florida went viral with c. 100,000 Facebook "shares" and coverage in traditional media in multiple states.
When it is worn around the ankle it is called an ankle bracelet or anklet.
A boot bracelet is used to decorate boots.
A POW bracelet (or POW/MIA bracelet) is a nickel-plated or copper commemorative bracelet engraved with the rank, name, and loss date of an American serviceman captured or missing during the Vietnam War.
The bracelets were first created in May 1970 by a California student group called Voices in Vital America (VIVA), with the intention that American Prisoners Of War in Vietnam not be forgotten.
The bracelets sold for $2.50 or $3.00.
Those who wore the bracelets vowed to leave them on until the soldier named on the bracelet, or their remains, were returned to America.
Between 1970 and 1976, approximately 5 million bracelets were distributed.

KIEV, Ukraine -- A hacker tool popular across underground Russian crime networks has been used in attacks on the Ukrainian government, indicating the use of "privateers" for digital espionage, according to researchers.
The malware, known as BlackEnergy, has been used in cyberattacks to steal credit card data.
The malware, known as BlackEnergy, appears to have been used in cyberattacks against Georgia during the Russo-Georgian conflict of 2008 too, but has also been operated by criminals as a means to steal credit card data.
This summer, it was tailored to hit a number of Ukrainian targets.
Researchers from security firm F-Secure said Ukrainian Railways and infrastructure related to government bodies in Dnipropetrovsk, a city in the southeast of Ukraine, were in the crosshairs of the hackers.
The researchers uncovered the hackers' use of proxy servers - used to reroute internet traffic - linked to those targets' networks.
The current "working theory" is that the attackers were carrying out hits on a wide range of targets to earn themselves a living, but were "somehow co-opted" into carrying out state espionage, F-Secure's Sean Sullivan suggested to the Guardian.
"They used to steal credit cards and now they have a different kind of buyer," Sullivan added.
Victims were sent emails containing documents that ostensibly offered information on Russian plans to take over the world, said researchers from another anti-virus firm ESET.
One appeared to be a story from the Guardian, entitled 'Russian ambassadors: next we'll take Catalonia, Venice, Scotland and Alaska'.
Though this was a genuine article online, anyone who clicked on the associated Word file would open themselves up to BlackEnergy infection.
The malware can scoop up reams of information from victims' PCs, including passwords and system information.
"The nature of the information being gathered seems to be generic rather than targeted. This may be because the malware has roots from crimeware," F-Secure's report read.
Sullivan said many of the targets were using an old form of anti-virus protection, where "signatures" or markers of malware are used to blacklist them and ban them from the network.
The BlackEnergy hackers, just like most cybercriminals on the planet, have tweaked their code so anti-virus won't recognise them as there is no corresponding signature.
"The attackers don't need a lot of sophistication to get round a 2001 technology," Sullivan said.
The so-called Quedagh gang behind the attacks has been operating since 2010, F-Secure said, but their tools have been used by various cyber criminals since 2007.
There is much suspicion around Russian government involvement in cyber attacks on foreign entities, especially those related to the current conflict in Ukraine.
UK defence contractor BAE Systems reported in March that Ukraine was facing a barrage of attacks from digital spies as tensions escalated between the two countries.
The FBI is investigating whether Russia backed recent attacks on US banks, including JP Morgan, in response to sanctions imposed by the west since the Putin regime's support of rebels in the east of Ukraine.

Say hello to Thread
Thread technology is specifically developed for smart home applications to improve connectivity between accessories. Now, HomeKit products can communicate not only using Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, but also using HomeKit over Thread. The big difference with this technology is that Thread creates a mesh network. Within this, lights, thermostats, outlets, sensors, and more, can also talk to each other free of the constraint of having to go through a central hub, such as a bridge. That's because a Thread network doesn't need one. If a single accessory fails, the data packets are simply relayed to the next device in the mesh. Thread is also one of the pillars of the smart home of the future: Matter.

The Trader -- Part I
SQUINTING INTO THE PROSPECTIVE 2006 MARKET a year ago, I hazarded these notions in the issue of Dec. 12, 2005: "In this season for mock-confident predictions, here are a few timid ones: The consensus call about volatility rising has a decent shot of coming true finally, as the acute hopes for an end to Fed tightening spread anxiety amid mixed data messages about whether or when it will happen. This, along with a good chance that first-half earnings numbers are already a bit high, should cause a gut-check for the bulls, which might usher in a somewhat wider trading range. The energy bull market will reassert itself. And two of these three deflated sectors will bottom and begin outperforming in '06: Big Pharma, Big Media and Big Telecom."
Not terrible, especially as a foreshadowing of the first half of the year, when volatility did briefly spike as the Fed-is-done vigil turned impatient, energy galloped higher and stocks did come in for a gut check of about 8% high-to-low. Of course, corporate earnings came in well ahead of estimates every quarter, and volatility turned toothless again in recent months.
As for the educated hunch on the sectors that would rebound in 2006, one could've done a whole lot worse: Telecom was the dark-horse winner in the sector derby this year, with a 30% gain through Thursday, besting energy at 22.5%. Media did indeed rise from the mat, too, with the S&P 500 advertising, broadcasting/cable, entertainment and publishing subsectors up an average of 27%.
Big Pharma quit going down, and did far better than the rest of health care. But with the Pharmaceutical HOLDRS (ticker: PPH) exchange-traded fund ahead by 10.3%, it has trailed the S&P's 13% gain. So, two out of three wasn't bad.
Over the course of the year, The Trader did a decent job of handicapping significant short-term tactical moves, cautioning that there was a bit too much froth in April and May near the then-highs, and accentuating the bullish implications of abidingly sour sentiment in the months after the midsummer lows.
But, no, I never quite got behind the idea that a resounding and almost tireless rally would take the indexes up as far as it did from July into December. Meanwhile, we didn't get a "wider trading range" in 2006; we got a slender drawdown from year-ago levels and then a powerful march higher.
I was incorrectly skeptical of the uptrends in real-estate investment trusts and, to a lesser degree, utilities.
As for individual stock ideas, the results were merely OK. For the purposes of calculating their performance, I collected all the stock-specific items written with a clear bullish or bearish angle from Thanksgiving 2005 through November of this year, then tracked their performance versus the market as if an equal amount were placed in each. There's an art to deciding which picks were "clearly" bullish or bearish, so I admit that my own self-interested judgment comes into play.
I left out sector pieces and strictly news-driven items and included only columns written by me rather than substitute writers.
I used as the starting point the opening price on the Monday after a column appeared, to simulate where a reader could have bought or shorted the stock. All returns are through Thursday's close.
In all, there were 14 bullish picks and four bearish ones. The 14 stocks that were written up positively logged an average return of 13.4%. From the date of the first column used in this analysis, the S&P 500 was up 11.7%. A more proper analysis, however, compares each pick with the results of placing an equal dollar amount in the S&P at the same time that each pick was made. That would've generated a 9.3% index return.
That, however, is not the whole portfolio. Poor results from the four shorts -- which on average gained 8.9% -- brought the hypothetical portfolio return down to 9.1%, just shy of the return from buying the S&P instead. Yes, it was a difficult year in general on the short side.
Note that this is not a true portfolio in many regards. Except where I explicitly followed up in a column with a suggestion to exit one of the ideas, there is no ability to take profits, cover shorts, dollar-cost-average, etc.
There were two long ideas that were profitably "closed out" in print: Ford Motor /zigman2/quotes/208911460/composite F -3.34% (F) after a 13% five-week move, and Pier 1 Imports (PIR) after a 20% three-week move.
That being said, I'm not above noting that two of the "shorts" that undermined the overall results -- Level 3 Communications (LVLT) and GSI Commerce (GSIC) -- each plunged more than 30% from when they were written up negatively, before rebounding in the rally. So a decent, or simply not overly greedy, short seller could've done nicely.
The other two shorts, Best Buy /zigman2/quotes/205918291/composite BBY +0.07% (BBY) and Danaher /zigman2/quotes/210555154/composite DHR +0.02% (DHR), didn't offer juicy downside and are up in the single-digits.
The major winners on the long side include UAL (UAUA), plucked in August near its lows just in time to capture the huge rally in airline stocks as fuel costs ebbed and consolidation fever spread through the industry. UAL is up 75% in four-plus months. Wendy's International /zigman2/quotes/204070192/composite WEN +3.79% (WEN) -- a repeat winner from 2005 -- continued to confound its many skeptics, and appreciated 32% after its spinoff of Tim Hortons (THI).
Other timely picks were Alaska Communications /zigman2/quotes/210509820/composite ALSK +0.61% (ALSK), ahead by 32.5% even excluding its generous dividend, and NetRatings (NTRT), the online-advertising service provider, which has climbed 25% since June as its parent company has offered to buy out the private shareholders.
There were two major, painful blunders among the bullish picks. Sprint Nextel (S) proved a true value trap -- a stock that looked cheap but whose low valuation was instead foretelling a huge fundamental shortfall. The shares have lost 26% since March. Source Interlink (SORC), a distributor of magazines and CDs, was cited as a likely leveraged buyout candidate in September. But no deal has emerged yet, even in this fevered LBO market, and business is lousy. The stock's off 29%.
As always, the ideas that have worked well are a testament to bright sources running real money, who have generously shared their analysis and acumen. The duds are my responsibility alone. Thanks to all who helped along the way.

Government sting acquires dirty bomb materials | #government | #hacking | #cyberattack | #hacking | #aihp
Posing as legitimate buyers through shell companies and using forged licenses, investigators for the Government Accountability Office (GAO) twice surreptitiously obtained from domestic suppliers small quantities of highly radioactive isotopes that they were not authorized to receive. The agency warned that such materials could be used to fashion a radiological dispersion device, commonly known as a dirty bomb, that could cause hundreds of deaths and billions of dollars' worth of damage.
The GAO sting was carried out to show how terrorists might hack the Nuclear Regulatory Commission's (NRC's) licensing process for acquiring small amounts of radioisotopes such as cesium-137 and cobalt-60, which have legitimate uses for sterilization, nuclear medicine, well logging, and other applications. Cesium-137 is particularly dangerous due to its readily dispersible powder form. GAO officials declined a reporter's request to identify the specific isotopes that were acquired.

The multiple-tier NRC licensing system for possessing and shipping radioisotopes has different levels of stringency depending on the quantity of material involved. The GAO undercover operation involved category 3 amounts, defined as less than 10 times the quantity needed to cause permanent human injury. For comparison, blood irradiators commonly used in hospitals and panoramic irradiators used to sterilize roomfuls of medical supplies contain category 1 quantities, at least 1000 times the amount needed to cause permanent injury. Specific amounts and radioactive activity levels are not provided. The NRC has delegated its regulatory authority under agreements with 39 states, which administer about three-quarters of all domestic radioisotope shipments.
The GAO investigators didn't attempt to procure category 1 or 2 material quantities because of the more stringent license and tracking requirements for those quantities. Unlike for the larger amounts, vendors aren't required to contact regulatory authorities to verify the identity of buyers for category 3 items. On two occasions involving two separate vendors, GAO investigators simply presented forged licenses, paid for their purchases, and were sent the isotopes they ordered. The materials were immediately sent back to the suppliers, the report said.
A single class 3 shipment of some isotopes—particularly 137Cs—could be used to fashion a radiological weapon, and a terrorist actor could also combine multiple shipments, the GAO warned. Although detonation of a dirty bomb employing category 3 quantities would cause few, if any, immediate deaths from radiation, it would be likely to result in hundreds of deaths during panicked evacuations and billions of dollars in socioeconomic impacts, the GAO said. The agency pointed to a May 2019 incident at the University of Washington, where the accidental release of only 1 curie of 137Cs resulted in $156 million in cleanup and other costs.
The NRC noted that, in determining the level of security measures that are required, it considers only the risk of direct deaths and immediate health effects of radiation rather than social impacts, such as public panic, or economic effects, such as decontamination costs and denial of access to buildings and public infrastructure for extended periods.
In a statement, NRC spokesperson David McIntyre said that the agency is taking actions to respond to the GAO findings. "We reached out to the manufacturers of these radioactive sources to ensure they are vigilant with sales, especially for new customers or unusual activities. We are also expediting a rule change already in progress that will be a durable regulatory resolution for license verification with sales of category 3 sources, including consideration of multifactor authentication."
The NRC concurred with the GAO's recommendation to tighten security features on class 3 materials, including switching from paper licenses to electronic ones. The agency initiated a rulemaking in January to require sellers to verify buyers' identities. But the rulemaking process requires input from states and public comment and ordinarily takes 18 months to two years to complete. The NRC, in comments submitted to the GAO, said it was taking steps "to appropriately expedite this rulemaking."
In the interim, the NRC could issue an order immediately requiring vendors to verify licenses via a phone call to the NRC or state regulators, if the agency believed that doing so was necessary to promote the common defense and security. But NRC officials told the GAO that there was insufficient basis to do so.
The NRC's normal oversight and current security framework, including inspections, ensures the safety of radioactive material, agency spokesperson McIntyre said. Those measures "are appropriate for the safety significance of the category 3 sources. In contrast, imposing immediate additional security requirements would risk unintended impacts to important and safe medical, academic, and industrial uses of these materials." The NRC, he noted, "also coordinate[s] with other federal agencies to assess current and evolving threats and can take urgent action if necessary."
The GAO noted that even upon completion of the rulemaking, other vulnerabilities in the system, which it did not publicly disclose, will remain unaddressed.

Students of different schools and colleges across Bangladesh took to the streets for the fifth consecutive day on Thursday, demanding punishment of those responsible for Sunday's road accident that killed their two fellows in the city and resignation of the shipping minister for his comments on the accident.
Although the government shut down all the educational institutions across the country for Thursday students wearing uniform and holding bag took to the streets across Dhaka in the morning.
School and college goers in different parts of the country, including Chittagong, Rajshahi, Faridpur and Chuadanga, Barisal staged demonstrations to press home the same demands.
On Sunday, Diya Khanam Mim and Abdul Karim Rajib, students of the college section of Shaheed Ramiz Uddin School and College, were killed as a 'Jabal-e-Noor Paribahan' bus ploughed through some students in front of Kurmitola General Hospital on Airport Road.


Customer data is imperative to success.
And successful companies are leveraging data throughout the customer lifecycle - from acquisition to engagement, to repeat purchase.
The challenge is how to effectively combine data. Customers interact with brands on many channels. Customer Data Platforms aim to solve this by unifying data, and making it easily accessible to marketing teams.
This article explores what customer data platforms are, and how best to utilize them to drive business results.
A customer data platform (CDP) is a technology that unifies customer data from multiple sources to create a single customer profile. Unlike other systems, customer data platforms are built for accessibility with simple interfaces.
Less-technical team members like marketing and customer service are expected to interact and use data through the Customer Data Platform - without the use of IT resources.
Lastly, customer data platforms make this data actionable. Some data platforms focus solely on the data, and rely on integrations to accomplish this. Others, like Barilliance, equip clients to use this data directly in their applications.
While a CDP sounds simple in conception, it solves a series of deceptively difficult questions: who are your prospective and current customers? When should you reach out to them? Which offer should you use?
As mentioned, customer data platforms have many use cases, spanning acquisition, engagement, conversion, and maximization.
To help illustrate, I pulled a few examples from our clients that showcase how they are using a CDP to improve sales.
You should use customer data platforms to enhance Facebook Custom Audiences.
Custom Audiences allow companies to target a specific customer list on Facebook, Instagram, or the Audience Network.
The effectiveness of these ads depend on the quality of your list. This is where customer data platforms come into play.
CDPs give you the power to segment your customers, creating unique messages to each type.
To illustrate, I will use a few anonymous examples from our clients.
Recent buyers are highly engaged with your brand and much more likely to make a second purchase.
Research shows that making even a small improvement in retention creates massive returns.
Unfortunately, relying purely on the FB Pixel undercuts your ability to target this group.
With Barilliance, our client is able to append customers who bought on other channels, including their physical stores, to create a complete customer list.
Above, the screenshot above, they define recent buyers as someone who has made a purchase less than 90 days ago, and whose order value was $100 or greater.
You can synch this audience continuously with Facebook. Whenever a prospect makes a purchase, they will be added to this audience automatically. Likewise, when their last purchase extends beyond 90 days, they will be removed.
One significant variation of recent buyers are first time buyers.
These customers have less affinity to your brand than loyal customers, and many top brands invest heavily in motivating return visits.
Above, our client makes an added specification - limiting the total number of orders to 1, and ensuring that the first order was less than 1 day ago.
This creates a revolving audience of first time customers who bought 24 hours ago or less.
Relevant messaging depends on good data.
You should leverage purchase history, current session behavior, demographic data, and more to create better offers.
Customer data platforms gives you access to this data. Above, our client Skandium is able to engage clients in real time based on a number of factors, including device type, location, and behavior.
In this case, a pop-up displays when a prospect is highlighting a product name. This behavior is normally followed by a search looking for comparative prices.
To address this concern, we create a price match guarantee. We add credibility and relevancy by dynamically changing the messaging to reflect their current location, in this case the UK.
You can read a full case study on how Skandium uses Barilliance here.
Are you successfully using data? Or are you treating most customers the same?
We've written a guide on important customer segments for eCommerce here. It's a great primer for identifying high impact customers, and understanding the need for different messaging and offers.
If you're ready to make a choice in technology, I recommend you take a look at our guide on How to Select a Personalization Vendor.

"They were on the highest parts of the house. Above the kitchen cabinet. On the back of the sink. It was pitiful."
Alex Layton spent the holiday weekend making house calls in Hurricane Matthew's flooded wake.
A boat would take her up flooded driveways right up to someone's front door. If she had the key - some owners had given her a set earlier - she could unlock it. But with water surging up past the knob and around Layton's waist, the door still needed to be shoved open by several people from her rescue team.
And inside, they would find that they were looking for: pets cowering on the highest surfaces they could cling to.
Like the desperate family of cats she found at one house.
"That's where it hit me the most," Layton tells The Dodo. "They were on the highest parts of the house. Above the kitchen cabinet. On the back of the sink. It was pitiful."
Layton was among an army of volunteers working alongside firefighters and rescue crews in Pinetops, North Carolina, to save as many lives as they could - including those of pets who had been hastily left behind.
In Pinetops, few expected the floodwaters to rise so high in the wake of Hurricane Matthew. While hundreds of people were evacuated, many could only take one pet with them.
"We were not expecting any of this," Layton says. "We were expecting to be hit lightly and maybe three or four inches (of water)."
Layton, who rescues and fosters dogs, and volunteers at the Maggie Society, was one of the people who got the call early Sunday morning. While she joined a crew on several boats making runs to swamped houses and yards, more volunteers, like Kim Edmondson and Celena Edwards of the Wilson County Humane Society, stood on shore with crates.
The dogs and cats - many of them fished from the water - were shivering and cold, and had to be moved indoors immediately.
Every time Layton sailed out, her list seemed to get longer and longer and frantic pet owners gave her an address to check in on their pets. In some cases where Layton wasn't given keys from worried homeowners, she would look for an open wondow to crawl through.
In all, Layton's rescue crew managed to save 27 dogs, four cats, a horse ... and one somewhat unexpected victim.
"A family member had told me they had left their chinchilla," Layton says. "So we called the boat that was out there and they went and got their chinchilla."
Her team was only one of several that made daring forays into flooded neighborhoods to rescue people and pets. In one dramatic scene, the U.S. Coast Guard saved a dog swimming desperately in muddy waters.
All of the animals are now safe. People in areas that weren't affected by the storm offered kennels for some of the animals. Layton is keeping some at her house. The humane society is boarding a few. And the rest have already been reunited with their owners.
But Pinetops will have a lot of rebuilding to do. Many of the kennels and homes in the area are underwater. In addition, many of the dogs and cats recovered will need to be spayed and neutered.
Layton has set up a fund to help the rebuild in the aftermath of the flood, as well as to get the veterinary care they need. You can make a donation to southerland@myglnc.com through PayPal.

PHN FemCee-Vember Edition | Monie Love- 'Monie in the Middle' & 'It's A Shame' [VIDEOS] ~ Phresh Hott New!
Monie Love (born Simone Gooden; 2 July 1970) is an English emcee and radio personality in the United States. She is a well-respected figure in British hip hop, and made an impact with American hip hop audiences as a protégéof female American emcee Queen Latifah, as well as through her membership in the late 1980s/early 1990s Native Tongues. Love was one of the first BritHop artists to be signed and distributed worldwide by a major record label. Love was born in the Battersea area of London. She is the younger sister of techno musician Dave Angel, and was a daughter of a London-based, jazz musician father.
Love's debut album, Down To Earth, spawned two, Grammy-nominated hits, "Monie in the Middle" (a high school-set track dealing with a woman's right to determine what she wants out of a relationship) and "It's a Shame (My Sister)" (which sampled The Spinners' "It's a Shame", written for the band by Stevie Wonder) and featured house-music vocalist and then-labelmate Ultra Naté. The album reached #26 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart. Love also appears on the song titled "United" from Inner City's third album, Praise.

Phenotype / cell stem origin The disease was characterized by thrombocytopenia due to decreased and dysplastic megakaryocytes, an elevated number of monocytes, eosinophils and basophils.
Clinics The patient remained in a stable condition for 2 years and finally died due to treatment-resistant disease progression.
Protein member of the myosin family. MYO18A, also called MysPDZ, contains from N-term a KE-rich domain, an ATP-insensitive actin-binding site (able to link to actin), a PDZ domain, a myosin head, an IQ motif, a coiled-coil domain, and a globular domain in C-term. This myosin might stably cross link actin filaments for high order organization of the actin cytoskeleton (Isogawa et al 2005).
Note The two genes are transcribed in opposite diraction, and an inversion is necessary to produce the hybrid gene and protein.
The N-terminal domain of MYO18A has an ATP-insensitive actin-binding site.

The Palm Beach Tenerife is a home-away-from-home with its massive rooms, exceptional amenities and outstanding service. Beach-front property, half board, buffet breakfast, free Wi-Fi and guaranteed low prices are some of the best reasons to stay in this hotel. The rooms at the Palm Beach Tenerife reflect style and comfort and come with high-tech appliances in a bright living space. Moreover, the wide-ranging rooms, make it possible for solo travellers, couples, families and group of friends to find something suitable. The resort's guests can directly access the Playa Troya's sandy sea shores or utilize the on-site lagoon style swimming pool-two delightful options to bask up the Tenerife sun. Plus, you can utilize many other facilities of the hotel that include specialized bike hire, yacht charters, volcano Teide experience, airport shuttle bus and much more.
The Palm Beach Tenerife is conveniently situated in Playa de las Americas. It will be an exciting time for beach lovers, as the Playa de Troya Beach is only a kilometre from the hotel. Those who want to satisfy their luxury shopping needs can head to the Siam Mall, which is only 1.2km from the resort. The Tenerife South Airport is only 15.5km from the hotel, making it convenient for the guests to board their flights on time.
The rooms in the hotel reflect avant-grade furnishings with massive living areas and leather white sofas, which will ultimately make your stay bright, airy and full of sunshine. They come in three categories that include The Sterling Suites, The White Suites and Standard Rooms. The amenities in the hotel are second to none, which include international television, linen & towels, room safe, oven, microwave, air conditioning, hair dryer, fridge, coffee machine and iron. The Standard Rooms have the capacity to accommodate up to six guests.
The pool-side dining facility at the hotel ensures that the guests enjoy their meals without having to leave the marvellous pool area.

There is an outdoor swimming pool, where you can soak up the sun, while having refreshing drinks on the sun loungers. Those who want to stay in shape can utilize the fully-fledged fitness centre with professional trainers, while your children can have a lot of fun in the children's club.
It was clean and the atmosphere and facilities nearby was really good! Would definitely recommend this place to anyone! Had good activities running at the hotel at the same time! Pool is lovely and you come out of the hotel and the beach is at your doorstep and the strip is literally a 5 minute walk max, probably less than that! Only negative comment is that they don't replace towels over the weekend!
Just back from a 7 day break at this sea view hotel, and I would highly recommend it. It's only about 4 or 5 minutes to the busy resort centre but perfectly situated to get a good night's sleep, we were self catering but eating out wasn't a problem as there were plenty of restaurants close buy all reasonably priced. So we would definitely return the next time we are in Tenerife.
Fine hotel in top area.
Fine hotel in top area. Room a bit dated but by reports when we're there they started doing up parts of the hotel. A good 3 star plus.

Q: Is it possible to create azure service bus relay using Windows Service application? I have a windows service bus relay application running in console application. Initially I created using console app for testing. Now I have a requirement to convert this console application to windows service. All the Azure documentation only show examples with console application.
Is there is a way to create the service bus relay application using windows service, so that in my client side I don't need to run this console application(as a command prompt).
I am trying to connect cloud application to corporate/ secured network.

Created a new MVC web application to talk to relay service. Not sure what I am missing. Is there is any changes I need to do in "MyRelayTestService" config file.
using Microsoft.ServiceBus;
using System.ServiceModel;
using System.Web.Mvc;
using WCFRelay;

namespace TestRelayApplication.Controllers
{
    public class HomeController : Controller
    {
        static ChannelFactory<IRelayTestChannel> channelFactory;

        public ActionResult Index()
        {
            var tcpbinding = new NetTcpRelayBinding();
                    channelFactory = new   ChannelFactory<IRelayTestChannel>(tcpbinding, "yourServiceNamespace");
            channelFactory.Endpoint.Behaviors.Add(new   TransportClientEndpointBehavior
            {
                TokenProvider = TokenProvider.CreateSharedAccessSignatureTokenProvider("RootManageSharedAccessKey", "yourKey")
            });
            using (IRelayTestChannel channel = channelFactory.CreateChannel())
            {

                var testStr = channel.DoWork();  // error on this call
            }

            return View();
        }
    }
}

A:
Is it possible to create azure service bus relay using Windows Service application?

Yes, We can do that using Windows Service. I do a demo for it. The following is my detail steps.
1.Create a Relay namespace using the Azure portal,we can get more info from official document. And create WCF Relay on the Azure portal.

2.First Module: WCF Service Library (WCFRelay.dll)
Definition of Service Contract
  [ServiceContract]
    public interface IRelayTest
    {
        [OperationContract]
        string DoWork();
    }

Implementation of Service Contract
public class RelayTest : IRelayTest
    {
        public string DoWork()
        {
            return "hello";
        }
    }

*Second Module: Create WCF Relay Windows Service and reference the created WCFRelay.dll

*Implement the OnStart and OnStop  for the service
public partial class MyRelayTestService : ServiceBase
    {
        ServiceHost m_svcHost = new ServiceHost(typeof(RelayTest));
        public MyRelayTestService()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
        }
    protected override void OnStart(string[] args)
    {
       // m_svcHost?.Close();
        ServiceHost sh = new ServiceHost(typeof(RelayTest));
        var binding = new WebHttpRelayBinding {IsDynamic = false};
        var serviceRegistrySettings = new ServiceRegistrySettings(DiscoveryType.Public);
        sh.AddServiceEndpoint(
           typeof(IRelayTest), binding,
           ServiceBusEnvironment.CreateServiceUri("sb", "namespace", "path")) //tomtestrelay , testtom
            .Behaviors.Add(
            new TransportClientEndpointBehavior
            {

                TokenProvider = TokenProvider.CreateSharedAccessSignatureTokenProvider("RootManageSharedAccessKey", "Key value")
            }
            );

        sh.Open();
    }

    protected override void OnStop()
    {
        if (m_svcHost == null) return;
        m_svcHost.Close();
        m_svcHost = null;
    }
}

5.Adding an installer to the Service

Add following code:
public ProjectInstaller()
            {
                // InitializeComponent();
                serviceProcessInstaller1 = new ServiceProcessInstaller { Account = ServiceAccount.LocalSystem };
                serviceInstaller1 = new ServiceInstaller
                {
                    ServiceName = "WinServiceRelayTest",
                    DisplayName = "WinServiceRelayTest",
                    Description = "WCF Relay Service Hosted by Windows NT Service",
                    StartType = ServiceStartMode.Automatic //set service start automatic
                };
                Installers.Add(serviceProcessInstaller1);
                Installers.Add(serviceInstaller1);
            }

6. Install Service
Navigate to the installutil.exe in your .net folder, more details please refer to another SO thread.
Install : "C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\installutil.exe" "c:\yourservice.exe"
uninstall : "C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\installutil.exe" /u "c:\yourservice.exe"

*Check the Windows Service status

If the service can't start as expected, please check the Event viewer to get the detail exception info. Then uninstall and reinstall again.

*Check from Azure Portal, we can get the listener has been changed to 1.

A: Please check this code, It works for me
protected override void OnStart(string[] args)
 {
    this.EventLog.WriteEntry("Windows Service has been Started!", EventLogEntryType.Information);
    try
    {
      ServiceBusEnvironment.SystemConnectivity.Mode = ConnectivityMode.AutoDetect;
      string serviceNamespace = "Your AzureNamespace";
      string sasKey = "Your SASKey";
      // Create the credentials object for the endpoint.
      TransportClientEndpointBehavior sasCredential = new TransportClientEndpointBehavior();
      sasCredential.TokenProvider = TokenProvider.CreateSharedAccessSignatureTokenProvider("RootManageSharedAccessKey", sasKey);

      // Create the service URI based on the service namespace.
      Uri address = ServiceBusEnvironment.CreateServiceUri("sb", serviceNamespace, "Your DynamicRelayServiceName");

      // Create the service host reading the configuration.
      host = new ServiceHost(typeof(YourWCFServices), address);
      // Create the ServiceRegistrySettings behavior for the endpoint.
      IEndpointBehavior serviceRegistrySettings = new ServiceRegistrySettings(DiscoveryType.Public);

      // Add the Relay credentials to all endpoints specified in configuration.
      foreach (ServiceEndpoint endpoint in host.Description.Endpoints)
      {
          endpoint.Behaviors.Add(serviceRegistrySettings);
          endpoint.Behaviors.Add(sasCredential);
      }

      // Open the azure service.
      host.Open();
      this.EventLog.WriteEntry($"Azure bus service is on at {"Your DynamicRelayServiceName"}!", EventLogEntryType.Information);

  }
  catch (Exception ex)
  {
      this.EventLog.WriteEntry(ex.Message, EventLogEntryType.Error);
  }
}

First come, first served: possible role for priority effects in marine populations under different degrees of dispersal potential

Marine Animal Ecology
Aim Studying clearly delineated populations in marine lakes, islands of sea, we investigate the interplay of habitat size, immigration, and priority effects in shaping marine population genetic structure. Location Marine lakes and coastal locations in Indonesia, Palau, Papua New-Guinea and Australia. Taxon Mussels (Mytillidae, Brachidontes spp.) Methods Populations were sampled from four coastal locations and 22 marine lakes of similar age (~8,000 years), yet differing in size (0.04 - 4.7 km2) and degree of connection to the adjacent sea. While some lakes are highly connected, allowing potential influx of larvae from the sea, others have very limited water exchange. We assessed the phylogeographic structure and demographic history using mitochondrial and nuclear DNA sequence data, and combined this with geometric morphometrics. The effects of lake characteristics on population genetic diversity and structure were tested using linear regression and Mantel tests. Results Each lake contained one of six distinct genetic lineages, which were characterized by deep phylogenetic splits and significant morphometric differences. These lineages likely represent separate species. The lineages showed similar demographic patterns, with lakes containing founder populations that rapidly expanded and diverged. Genetic diversity within lake populations was significantly correlated with lake area, but not with physical connection to the adjacent sea. Within lineages that occurred in multiple lakes there was strong population structure (average ΦST 0.65), which did not conform to an isolation-by-distance pattern or to the degree of dispersal potential. Main Conclusions Marine lakes across a gradient of physical isolation show strong population structure and evidence for in situ divergence. We hypothesize that the observed genetic structure is the result of priority effects. In addition, reduction of habitat size appears to reduce genetic diversity, even at very small spatial scales. Our findings are relevant in the context of ongoing alterations to coastal hydrodynamics, which lead to habitat reduction and influence migration among populations at fine spatial scales.
