SSBC Summer Charity Week 2019
Shiregreen Sports Badminton club will be hosting a summer charity week at the club raising money for The Children's Hospital Charity (TCHC).
On Monday 8th, Thursday 11th & Saturday 13th July we will charge £3 per session with all proceeds going towards TCHC. If you want to kindly donate more than £3 this would be welcomed. SSBC will cover the cost of courts for this evening.
Furthermore we're inviting members to take part in TCHC "Obstacle 5K" on Saturday 13th July. The course will suit walkers, joggers and runners of all abilities. Join the Shiregreen Sports Badminton Club team as we tackle the obstacles and raise money for a good cause! Read more about the event here: https://www.tchc.org.uk/how-you-can-help/events/inflatable-5k-race!.html
Our first league season has now ended, see how we got on over the 2018/19 season...
It's been a very competitive first season for our club. Having experienced tough fought games throughout the season, our Mens Plastics team finished 6th in the table of Division 5.
Our team went into the season with only a small handful of players having league experience, so this was invaluable to them to get to know the format of play, and understand that there are additional levels of skill when compared to the games they've experienced at the social evenings at our club. The introduction of league badminton at the club has added a new competitive atmosphere, and provided members with something they can aim towards in terms of increasing their skills in badminton.
Shiregreen Sports Badminton Club are pleased to announce 12 weeks of FREE badminton sessions!
Yes that's right, you read that correctly - FREE badminton. Our club has managed to secure funding in association with Sanctuary Housing and Love Sport. Through this funding we are able to offer members* - old and new - FREE badminton sessions throughout February, March and April 2019
The FREE sessions will take place between Monday 4th February 2019 & Sunday 28th April 2019.
Simply turn up on one of the 3 sessions we run each week (Monday evening, Thursday evening or Saturday Morning.) No membership or sign up required, and no hidden fees.
Details regarding our 3 club sessions can be found HERE.

Well! What a year Shiregreen Sports Badminton Club has had.
It's been an amazing journey at the badminton club in 2018 and the club has gone from strength to strength. We've welcomed a bunch of new members to the SSBC family this year and together have worked hard to create a fun environment to play badminton and keep fit.
The SSBC committee would like to thank everyone who came down to a session throughout the year; without you the badminton club wouldn't exist.
Here's a bit of a recap of our amazing 2018 here at Shiregreen Sports Badminton Club:
Saturday club acquisition.
One of the first achievements of 2018 was the acquisition of the Parkwood Academy Saturday morning session. The club managed to secure this session off Parkwood School and moved it to the earlier slot of 10:30am - 12:30pm. The session has grown and grown in popularity and has boosted overall turnover at the club.
New website - www.shiregreensports.org.uk
Did you know? - Our website had a much needed update at the beginning of the year in order to increase online presence and be a source of information for current members and potential new members. If you're reading this then you are looking at our new website, feel free to have a browse. Also while you're at it check out our Instagram (which was started this year) - https://instagram.com/shiregreensports
New club kit
It's been a few years since our previous club kit was released, and I'm sure members would agree that it was getting ready for a refresh. Courtesy of our friends over at ClubRackets.com we now have a new range of kit items available for members to purchase. We decided to go with Victor as the brand - a well known badminton equipment/clothing manufacturer. The club still continues to subsidise £10 off one club shirt per member per year. See the range of kit choices below. Get in touch with a committee member to order yours!
Inter-club tournaments
As an added bit of excitement over the normal badminton sessions week in - week out, we asked members to pair up and join us for a 2v2 tournament. The competition was fierce, with members upping their games to try and be the top pair.
We held a couple of tournaments towards the latter end of the year which were met with positive feedback from members. Rest assured we'll be putting more of these little tournaments on in 2019.
League team
We started our first League Badminton campaign in October of 2018. We entered a Men's team into Division 5 of the plastics league. We're hoping to bring a competitive aspect to our club moving forwards, giving members a goal to work towards outside of just social badminton. We are looking to bring on a ladies team for next season, this may be in the form of a ladies/mixed/combined team.
Charity week
Now slowly becoming a yearly tradition at the club our Charity Week 2018 was met with great generosity from our members. The club raised a whopping £581 in total for St Luke's Hospice based in Sheffield. The club smashed last years total of £300 raised. Due to our efforts St Luke's came down to a club night to do a big cheque handover and we were featured in The Star (see below for photos.)
So here's to 2019
It's onwards and upwards for Shiregreen Sports Badminton Club. Again - a huge thank you to members for coming down to club nights throughout the year and creating an environment to have fun and play badminton. Special thank you to the limited amount of committee members who work hard to make the club a success year in, year out.
Finally the committee would like to wish members a Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays and a Happy New Year!
SSBC Charity Week 2018
Once again Shiregreen Sports Badminton club will be hosting a charity week at the club raising money for St Luke's Hospice in memory of Jane Bilton.
Jane Bilton was a long-time member of our club, who passed away due to cancer towards the latter end of 2017. St Luke's supported Jane throughout the duration of her treatment and leading up to the last day of her life.
On Monday 22nd and Thursday 25th October we will charge £3 per session with all proceeds going towards St Luke's. If you want to kindly donate more than £3 this would be welcomed. SSBC will cover the cost of courts for this evening.
Monday 22nd October details:
Normal Monday session at Firth Park Academy. £3+ per member going towards St Luke's.
Thursday 25th October details:
We will be hosting another Inter-club tournament, get your pairs ready and your game faces on! Prepare for a tournament of the ages!
A selection of buns/cakes will be available to buy on the night with proceeds going towards St Luke's.
£3+ per member going towards St Luke's.
Some more information about the charity:
St Luke's care for people aged 18 and above throughout Sheffield who have terminal illnesses. They aim to control their symptoms, alleviate pain, and give them the best possible quality of life – all free of charge.

Shiregreen Sports Badminton Club are pleased to announce that we will begin our first league badminton campaign this year.
We will be entering a Mens Plastics team into the Sheffield Badminton league for the 2018/19 season. We will be starting in the bottom Division (Division 5), and are hoping to finish in a strong position in the table at the end of the season.
Over the past few weeks we have hosted two tryout evenings open to members who have shown an interest in playing in the team this year. In attendance at these sessions were Adam Hague (League Team Secretary) and Will Stocks (League Team Captain), who together are responsible for selecting players to play in the team.
The team was chosen based on the following criteria:
An element of Correct Technique
Textbook positional play
Overall ability
Here are the 12 members who will be representing SSBC by playing in the Mens Plastics Team in our first league campaign (in no particular order):
Adam Hague
Will Stocks
Ross George
Andrew Chan
Tom Powell
Maz Mo
George Liu
Jonathan Springer
Lloyd Barker
Gordon Atkinson
Josh Bilton
Adam Hopkinson
Thank you to everyone who showed an interest and came to tryout for the team.
To all other members wishing to play league badminton - opportunities may arise throughout the season so keep your eyes peeled.
We hope we can count on members to cheer us along at our matches!
Those of you who have been down to the club nights over the past 2 weeks, will have had a chance to play with a new nylon shuttlecock - the MAVIS 600. This shuttlecock manufactured by Yonex is the latest edition to their nylon shuttlecock range.
For a number of years Shiregreen Sports Badminton Club (SSBC) has favoured the Yonex MAVIS 300 shuttlecock, which has always come out on top versus other competition. At each of our clubs AGM's we have asked if members are happy with the shuttlecocks and the decision has always - more or less - been unanimous.
Today sees the club making a tough and conscious decision in our choice of nylon shuttlecock.
Why is our club a nylon/plastic badminton club?
The main reason is the cost implications. Nylon shuttles are more durable and cost less compared to their feather counterparts. Our club has always offered badminton sessions at a low/affordable price and that is partly due to the club using nylon shuttlecocks.
What's wrong with the current MAVIS 300 shuttles?
MAVIS 300 shuttles are still enjoyable to play with at our club - I'm sure members will agree. Everyone gets along with them and is used to how they feel/ play. However the durability of the shuttles has definitely deteriorated since the release of the new MAVIS 600 shuttle range. Club members will have noticed a shorter lifespan of the shuttles, with some shuttlecocks lasting 1-3 games; which is often unheard of from nylon shuttlecocks. The "feathers" of the shuttle seem to snap in numerous places and more frequently which in turn causes the shuttle to spin. The rubber/cork of the shuttle often detatches itself from the feathers, which means the cork has just completely crumbled inside the rubber. The shuttles just feel poorly made and as though less material has been used - making them increasingly light, but in turn making them more succeptable to hits from the racquets. The light feeling of the shuttle does reward members who enjoy a big smash - which is fun and great - but when the cork is exploding this is something we felt we needed to address.
What are the reasons for choosing the MAVIS 600 shuttle?
We've had some good feedback from members regarding this shuttle. It definitely feels different to it's predecessor - the rubber has a more harder feeling and you feel more repsonse when it hits the racquet. The shuttle feels naturally heavier so net shots require a bit more power and smashes don't come off as well as the 300. The shuttle's flight pattern seems to imitate that of a feather shuttlecock - which is good! This has been catching some members off guard though, sometimes leaving a shot that would have originally sailed out the back of the court only for it to land in. I'm sure many members would agree that the shuttle needs some getting used to.
The goal for nylon shuttles has always been to imitate feather shuttles as best as possible, and we felt that by moving forwards with the MAVIS 600 it is a step in the right direction for our club.
A little note about league badminton:
Sheffield Badminton were on the fence about using 300/600 shuttles for the year 17/18, they ultimately decided on using MAVIS 300 for their plastic leagues. We would anticipate that the approaching league season (18/19) will see them make the switch to the MAVIS 600 shuttles. This may be interesting for members wishing to play league badminton next season.
We hope that members appreciate the thought and testing that has gone into this decision at our club. We hope that you enjoy playing with the new shuttlecocks and find success in your games.
Many thanks and keep playing badminton!

A new three-year NASA field expedition gets underway this year that will use advanced instruments on airplanes and in the water to survey more of the world's coral reefs in far greater detail than has ever been assessed before. The Coral Reef Airborne Laboratory (CORAL) will measure the condition of these threatened ecosystems and create a unique database of uniform scale and quality.
Coral reefs, sometimes called the rainforests of the sea, are home to a quarter of all ocean fish species. They protect shorelines from storms and provide food for millions of people, yet very little of the world's reef area has been studied scientifically. Virtually all measurements have been made by expensive, labor-intensive diving expeditions. Many reefs never have been surveyed, and those reefs that have been studied were measured only at a few dive sites.

"Right now, the state of the art for collecting coral reef data is scuba diving with a tape measure," said Eric Hochberg, CORAL principal investigator and scientist at the Bermuda Institute of Ocean Sciences, St. George's. "It's analogous to looking at a few trees and then trying to say what the forest is doing."
Hochberg's team will survey the condition of entire reef systems in Florida, Hawaii, Palau, the Mariana Islands and Australia. CORAL will use an airborne instrument called the Portable Remote Imaging Spectrometer (PRISM), developed and managed at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in Pasadena, California. Concurrent in-water measurements will validate the airborne measurements of reef condition. In turn, reef condition will be analyzed in the context of the prevailing environment, including physical, chemical, and human factors. The results will reveal how the environment shapes reef ecosystems.
Reefs worldwide are threatened by human impacts and climate change. The limited observations made to date suggest that 33 to 50 percent of our planet's coral reefs have been significantly degraded or lost, and the concern among reef scientists is that most functioning reef ecosystems will disappear by mid-century.
"We know reefs are in trouble," Hochberg said. "We've seen the reefs of Jamaica and Florida deteriorate and we think we know what is happening there. However, reefs respond in complex ways to environmental stresses such as sea level change, rising ocean temperatures and pollution. The available data were not collected at the appropriate spatial scale and density to allow us to develop an overarching, quantitative model that describes why and how reefs change in response to environmental changes. We need accurate data across many whole reef ecosystems to do that."
According to Michelle Gierach, a CORAL project scientist at JPL, PRISM was specifically created for remote sensing of coastal and inland waters. PRISM records the spectra of light reflected upward toward the instrument from the ocean below, allowing researchers to pick out the unique spectral signatures of living corals and algae. As corals die, algae increase on a reef, so the ratio of coral to algae is an indicator of the ecosystem's health.
"Now, estimates of global reef status are synthesized from local surveys with disparate aims, methods and quality," Gierach said. "With CORAL, we will provide not only the most extensive picture to date of the condition of a large portion of the world's coral reefs, but a uniform dataset, as well."
JPL is providing engineering support and management for CORAL's airborne campaigns under project manager Ian McCubbin. CORAL science team members come from institutions across the United States, each bringing different subject expertise.
After the 2016-2017 field campaign, the CORAL science team will analyze the new data to catalog the relative abundance of coral, algae and sand on each reef. "Then we'll be able to start making predictions about what might happen to the world's reefs that are based on numbers, rather than just ideas," said Hochberg.
Although CORAL will vastly increase the amount of data available on the health of coral reefs, it will cover just three to four percent of the world's reefs.
"Ideally, in a decade or so we'll have a satellite that can frequently and accurately observe all of the world's reefs, and we can push the science and most importantly our understanding even further," said Hochberg.
NASA funded CORAL through its Earth Venture-Suborbital program, which competitively selects airborne and field investigations that target specific scientific questions, complementing the agency's satellite missions. Earth Venture-Suborbital, as well as spaceborne Earth Venture mission and instrument investigations are part of NASA's Earth System Science Pathfinder program managed at the agency's Langley Research Center in Hampton, Virginia. NASA's Earth Venture program supports innovative approaches to address Earth science research with regular and frequent windows of opportunity to accommodate new scientific priorities.
NASA uses the vantage point of space to increase our understanding of our home planet, improve lives, and safeguard our future. NASA develops new ways to observe and study Earth's interconnected natural systems with long-term data records. The agency freely shares this unique knowledge and works with institutions around the world to gain new insights into how our planet is changing.

Bourjois Rouge Edition Lipstick in 13 Rouge Jet Set
"Red lipstick is to women, what sports cars to men†-So rightly said.
I have seen in some beauty news video tracking men's eye movements, which shows women in red garnered a lingering 7.3 second gaze, while those wearing pinks and naturals got 2.2 seconds. But red lipstick is about more than just getting noticed. A key to instant gorgeous glamour that brightens the face and can actually make you feel more confident. It is an ageless beauty wonder.
My today's post is on such a wonder from my vanity, its Bourjois Rouge Edition Lipstick in shade number 13- Rouge Jet Set
About Bourjois Rouge Edition Lipstick:
Calling all fashionistas out there… this new lipstick is for you!
It's ready to wear formula is enriched with ¼ of pure laque for a radiant, glossy finish and orchid blossom extract so it glides onto the lips leaving them feeling smooth, hydrated and protected for up to 10 hours.
A "must-have†lipstick for every woman's make-up bag. Tested and approved by fashion lovers.
Available in 18 fashionable shades from natural nudes to pretty pinks, colour-blocking corals and classic reds, there are so many to choose from! A shade for every outfit and style!
Stylish and sleek in design, it is the perfect fashion accessory for that trendsetting smile!
- Price and Quantity: I bought it when it was INR 775. Now price has hiked to INR 955 for 3.5 g.You can buy from here
- Packaging:The lipstick comes in a sturdy black rectangular case with a transparent pot underneath. The pot is not detachable, but makes it easier to detect shades. Shade name written on the cap and the number written at the base. One has to pull open the shade tag to read the ingredients that are written inside.
- Shade:Rouge Jet Set (13) is said to be "an ultra glamorous classic redâ€. To me it is a deep, sultry, hot rod red which looks very elegant, bold and sophisticated, an ultimate scarlet for every skin tone.
The formula is said to be enriched with Orchid Blossom Extract for 10 hours of hydration. It is creamy and buttery soft with a high-gloss sheen that feels great on my chapped winter lips, keeps them moisturized and prevent from further drying out. The super moisturizing formula helps to glide on thick and creamy without streaking, and never feels heavy on lips. It doesn't bleed, doesn't settle into fine lines and neither highlights patches.
It has completely rich and utterly beautiful color payoff. The hand swatch shows the colour intensity at one swipe.
Staying Power:
It is mindblowing-ly long-lasting through both dinner and drinks. I wore it for 7hours at a stretch, and when I came back home and looked into the mirror, it felt like I was wearing some classy matte red, the glossiness was gone, but the stain was intact.
 Bourjois Rouge Edition Lipstick in 13 Rouge Jet Set Swatches:
Summing up my "Likes†and "Dislikesâ€:
What I like about Bourjois Rouge Edition Lipstick 13- Rouge Jet Set:
- Iconic, bright, powerful red.
- Heavenly creamy texture, yet light on lips.
- Super moisturizing, lips remain hydrated for hours.
- Glides on buttery-soft, feels luxuriously smooth.
- Doesn't bleed.
- Doesn't settle into fine lines.
- Doesn't highlight patches.
- Beautifully pigmented.
- Covers lip pigmentation.
- Stays long.
- Simple, yet elegant packaging.
- It is worth each and every penny I spent.
What I don't like about Bourjois Rouge Edition Lipstick in 13- Rouge Jet Set:
- Limited availability in India. Though is widely available outside.
- Price might be an issue for some.
Would I repurchase Bourjois Rouge Edition Lipstick in 13- Rouge Jet Set?
Yes, and other shades too. I'm planning to buy Peche Cosy, Orange Pop, Rouge Buzz and Fraise Remix next.
Would I recommend Bourjois Rouge Edition Lipstick in 13- Rouge Jet Set to others?
This lippy has truly impressed me, so a big Yes.
A few months ago I believed that smile is the only thing one can wear at any age and anywhere, it never goes out of fashion. Then came red lipsticks into my life….and rest is history… 😀
Bourjois Rouge Edition Lipstick in shade number 13- Rouge Jet Set has increased my love for red lippies. Love it.

To celebrate International Women's Day, we profile Judy Watson's sacred ground beating heart 1989. Her work which includes drawing, printmaking, painting and sculpture all reference an Indigenous connection to land and history. Recently Watson won The Queensland Indigenous Artist Public Art Commission 2016 for her bronze sculpture tow row (illustrated), which is permanently installed at the entrance to the Gallery of Modern Art (GOMA).
Born at Mundubbera, west of Maryborough, in south-east Queensland, the spirit and substance of her work is sourced in the homeland of her grandmother and great grandmother, a descendant of the Waanyi people of north-west Queensland.
Watson's canvases are not paintings in the classical traditions of European art, they remain unstretched when exhibited, usually pinned to the wall as is sacred ground beating heart.
sacred ground beating heart
Through paint and pigment, Judy Watson offers evidence of intimate encounters with the heat, air, moisture and pulse of the earth – the geographical emblems of her heartland. These emblems are linked with Australian Aboriginal totemic beings or culture heroes, who metamorphosed into landscape features, such as hills and rocks, and who continue to manifest their presence in meteorological or astral phenomena.
The unstretched canvas has been stained by layers of wet and dry pigment, creating a velvety, sensuous surface, which is then marked by distinct touches of colour. The imagery suggests an aerial perspective of parched land, a depiction of distant homelands or a material translation of an emotional state.
tow row
In tow row 2016, Judy Watson has responded to our GOMA site close to the Brisbane River. Referencing woven nets used by Aboriginal people of the area she acknowledges the traditional owners of the site and their everyday fishing activities on the river and local saltwater waterways. Watch our documentary as Watson discusses her inspiration for the bronze sculpture.

Peaches are a favorite summertime fruit around my house (available in May through September) because they make a perfect snack for our on-the-go plans. For some reason peaches have always made me feel happy and I recently discovered they are called the "fruit of calmness" in Hungary. I've been playing with these juicy fruits, and I've come up with my favorite peach smoothie with lecithin recipe. Read more about these ingredients and the recipe below.
Well this season I'm experimenting with peach smoothie recipes. Here's the first one. This recipe also contains lecithin. Read on to learn why I included this supplement.
Several years ago I was experimenting with supplements to help me through some tough times. I was experiencing depression, I was exhausted, and I needed to lose a few pounds. One of the supplements I discovered at that time was lecithin. Lecithin is a necessary component of each cell in our bodies. It helps to breakdown fats (which promotes weight loss), boosts cardiovascular health and improves brain function. We need between 30 and 50 grams of lecithin daily to maintain optimal health.
I started buying my lecithin in powdered form, which you can use in a number of different ways. My favorite way to use it is in my smoothies. The soy lecithin that I buy (non-gmo of course) tastes a little nutty and adds a creamy texture to my smoothies due to it's emulsifying properties (keeps liquids mixed together).
Today's peach smoothie recipe features peaches and lecithin. It is so creamy and delicious, even your kids will enjoy this one. I'd like to thank my fans on Facebook for helping me name this smoothie. I think the name is perfect.
Peache Smoothie: Orchard Island Smoothie
1 banana
1 cup frozen peaches
1 1/2 cups coconut water
1 1/2 Tablespoons non-gmo soy lecithin powder
Place all ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth. If you smoothie is too thick, add more coconut water. Makes approximately 3 cups.

Careers, Information, Advice and Guidance
Most young people stay on in full-time education after year 11. This can be:
- at a further education college (such as North Lindsey College)
- at a sixth form college (such as John Leggott College) or
- in a school sixth form (such as Sir John Nelthorpe, the Vale Academy or South Axholme)
There are lots of courses on offer at different levels:
- general or academic courses such as A levels or GCSEs in subjects you will be familiar with from school. These include English, mathematics, biology or geography as well as new subjects you may not have studied before – for example politics, photography or geology
- vocational courses in employment sectors – for example construction, health and social care or business, as well as courses for specific jobs such as hairdressing, plastering or motor vehicles
The new study programme for 16 to 19 year olds consists of around 600 learning hours per academic year (540 minimum). It contains either an academic programme or a substantial vocational qualification. It includes a mixture of qualification and non-qualification. For example tutorial and work experience hours.
Learners who haven't yet achieved GCSE Grade 4 in English and Maths at 16 will continue to study these subjects. They will do this by taking functional skills or similar provision to enable them to work towards their GCSE achievement.
Further information
If you are in year 11 now you will have to be in some kind of recognised education or training until at least your 18th birthday. No one will be forced to stay at school and there are lots of choices including part-time education or training alongside work. This will involve working towards a nationally recognised qualification as well as being employed, self-employed or volunteering for 20 hours or more a week. For more information visit raising the participation age.
If you are unemployed and looking for work or training, the following sections can help you.

Keep on Learning – information for parents/carers
Raising the Participation Age (RPA) came into effect from summer 2013. This now affects all young people leaving school.
What is RPA?
The Government is raising the age at which young people are required to participate in education or training.
If they are currently in Year 11 or below, they will have to continue until at least their 18th birthday.
This does not necessarily mean they will have to stay on at school after Year 11. They will still be able to work full-time if they choose to. They will have a choice about how they want to participate post-16. This could be through:
- full-time education, such as school or college
- work-based learning such as an Apprenticeship
- part-time education or training if they are employed, self employed or volunteering for 20 hours or more a week
Why make this change?
The Government wants to give all young people the opportunity to develop the skills they need for adult life and to achieve their full potential.
Participating in learning for longer means young people are more likely to get the skills and qualifications that will open doors to future employment. It will help them make the most of their potential and earn more over their lifetime.
Evidence shows that not being in education, employment or training at age 16-18 means young people are more likely to be unemployed, earn less, have a criminal record and suffer from poor health and depression over their lifetime.
What does this mean for you?
The legal requirement to participate will be on your son or daughter. At 16, young people should be starting to make, and take responsibility for, the decisions that affect their future.
However, we also know that your children look to you for advice and support as they make these decisions. We know that you will want to do all you can to
Support your children to make the right decision for them as they choose between their education and training options
Making choices about education and training can be a challenge, so your child will receive support to help them choose well. The careers information they will receive includes options information from school and online resources. Your child will receive careers advice and guidance from many people, including their subject teachers, careers co-ordinators or careers advisers. This will help them to think through their ideas and weigh up the pros and cons of different options.
Schools and colleges have a duty to provide access to independent and impartial careers guidance for their students from year 8.
The council's careers and progression team now works with students from year 9 onwards with an Education, Health and Care plan. We also work with young people who have left education and are NEET.
If your son or daughter needs access to careers information and guidance you should speak to their school / college or contact us.
If you are in year 11 you can apply for post 16 opportunities using the online application:
Post 16 Online Application – Lincs4U
A copy of the application form will be sent to the institutions you select.
When the institution receives your application they will send you an acknowledgement and you will be offered an interview at each institution that you apply to.
Every student who completes an application form is guaranteed an interview.
Monday to Thursday: 9am to 5pm
Friday: 9am to 4.30pm

Jack Conway & Company was recently honored with two very special awards in the third annual Banker & Tradesman readers' poll.
Conway's Real Estate School won the top spot of Gold for "Best Educational Provider in the Residential Real Estate Category" and the real estate company earned a Silver for "Best Residential Real Estate Firm."
The poll provided B&T readers an opportunity to speak up for those providers they believe are the best through an online survey. Conway was one of those choices for the best — the companies that won the loyalty and support of the Bay State's financial and real estate community.
"We are truly honored to be recognized by our customers and friends with these awards," said Conway CEO Carol Bulman. "I think it's a reflection on the relationships we forge with each customer, and the family feel of our company."
The award for the Conway Country School of Real Estate was particularly exciting as the company continues an unprecedented year of growth in hiring. With recent expansions into Dartmouth and Quincy, and weekend classes in Norwood and Dorchester, the school is offering more opportunities for preparation to become a licensed real estate salesperson.
"Our classes are taught by our agents and managers, and that's important," said Bulman. "The students make that connection and get a feel for the business right away."

Things we love about Hughesdale
At just 2sqkm in size, Hughesdale might be the smallest suburb in the City of Monash but it is certainly not lacking in activity! Chadstone shopping center is just up the road and there is also a great strip of local shops offering lots of dining choices. One of our favourites is Knafeh Nabulseyeh – you must try their falafel and their Knafeh! Oaklieg shoppong center is also only a short distance away. Hughesdale Primary school is a great local school, well supported by the local community. The new railway station (although controversial amongst locals) is an amazing feat of engineering! The removal of the level crossing will be a huge relief to many commuters (and our carpet cleaning Hughesdale technicians!)
Fun Fact
Did you know that many of the streets in Hughesdale are named after British train stations? For example: Rugby Road, Euston Road, Crewe Road, Swindon Road, Paddington Road, Clapham Road, Bletchley Road, Willesden Road, Carlisle Crescent, Preston Road, Skipton Road, Dalston Road, Camden Road, Earlstown Road.
I am very happy with the service and quality of the job done . I had a lot of stains on my carpet and they had been there for a long time. The stains all came out which I was amazed! I found the gentleman to be friendly and efficient and very caring of my furniture. I would highly recommend Black and Gold Carpet Cleaning to my family and friends or to anyone who wants a great job and will be using them again! The price was excellent I rang quite a few companies for quotes and I couldn't compare!! AAAA+"

Power supplies are often overlooked when building a system, but they shouldn't be! The ST56F is a great example of what a PSU should include feature wise. Boasting a 560W power output and 80% efficiency, it's obvious that this has the fuel to feed to your beefy system.
On to the results!
Those are pretty stable rails there folks. The rails stayed around where they should be and well with in the advertised range that Silverstone so to me, there is nothing to worry about. The rails were solid, the sound was virtually not there and the look is top notch. What's not to love about this PSU? There is one more thing that I would like to mention about this power supply and that's the fact that it does in fact feature active PFC. PFC stands for Power Factor Correction and what this basically means is that allows power distribution to operate at its maximum efficiency (according to endpcnoise.com.) To quote the same source again:
Because Active PFC uses a circuit to correct power factor, Active PFC is able to generate a theoretical power factor of over 95%. Active Power Factor Correction also markedly diminishes total harmonics, automatically corrects for AC input voltage, and is capable of a full range of input voltage. Since Active PFC is the more complex method of Power Factor Correction, it is more expensive to produce an Active PFC power supply.
If you understood any of that, and for those that didn't exactly follow, if you can afford it, active PFC is a better idea for your PC. I am not saying that you wont have any luck with a power supply with passive PFC because all of my power supplies up until this one have been passive but what I am saying is that a PSU with active PFC will provide your PC with "cleaner" power.
All in all, I liked this power supply. I actually liked it a lot. The presentation was good, with the box being attractive. The packing was tight and secure. The power supply preformed as it should. It lived up to my hopes and expectations. As good as the ST56F is, it is with down points. I would have liked to have seen all of the cables in sleeves and while I feel it is worth it, the 130 dollar (US) price can and will scare off a fair amount of possible customers. This isn't a big deal because I have always thought that you get what you pay for and in saying that, I am not saying that you will get a PSU that will crap out and take your PC with it if it costs less than this one. What I am saying is that for 130 dollars, you are getting a damn good PSU that can handle most anything that you decide to throw at it.
You can pick the Strider ST56F at some etailers for just under $130. With that said, go get you one and see just how good a power supply can be.
I am giving the ST56F a score of 9 out of 10 possible with the only point missing going towards the steep price. This is a relative debate though because some will have no qualms with spending that but most will.
Thanks to Silverstone for once again working with us and allowing us to take a look at their ever improving line of products.

Spark MLlib is Apache Spark's Machine Learning component. One of the major attractions of Spark is the ability to scale computation massively, and that is exactly what you need for machine learning algorithms. But the limitation is that all machine learning algorithms cannot be effectively parallelized. Each algorithm has its own challenges for parallelization, whether it is task parallelism or data parallelism.
Having said that, Spark is becoming the de-facto platform for building machine learning algorithms and applications. Well, you can check out the Spark course curriculum curated by Industry Experts before going ahead with the blog. The developers working on the Spark MLlib are implementing more and more machine algorithms in a scalable and concise manner in the Spark framework. Through this blog, we will learn the concepts of Machine Learning, Spark MLlib, its utilities, algorithms and a complete use case of Movie Recommendation System.
The following topics will be covered in this blog:
Evolved from the study of pattern recognition and computational learning theory in artificial intelligence, machine learning explores the study and construction of algorithms that can learn from and make predictions on data – such algorithms overcome following strictly static program instructions by making data-driven predictions or decisions, through building a model from sample inputs.
Figure: Machine Learning tools
Machine learning is closely related to computational statistics, which also focuses on prediction-making through the use of computers. It has strong ties to mathematical optimization, which delivers methods, theory and application domains to the field. Within the field of data analytics, machine learning is a method used to devise complex models and algorithms that lend themselves to a prediction which in commercial use is known as predictive analytics.
There are three categories of Machine learning tasks:
Spark MLlib is used to perform machine learning in Apache Spark. MLlib consists popular algorithms and utilities.
MLlib Overview:
Spark MLlib provides the following tools:
The popular algorithms and utilities in Spark MLlib are:
Let us look at some of these in detail.
Basic Statistics includes the most basic of machine learning techniques. These include:
Regression analysis is a statistical process for estimating the relationships among variables. It includes many techniques for modeling and analyzing several variables when the focus is on the relationship between a dependent variable and one or more independent variables. More specifically, regression analysis helps one understand how the typical value of the dependent variable changes when any one of the independent variables is varied, while the other independent variables are held fixed.
Regression analysis is widely used for prediction and forecasting, where its use has substantial overlap with the field of machine learning. Regression analysis is also used to understand which among the independent variables are related to the dependent variable, and to explore the forms of these relationships. In restricted circumstances, regression analysis can be used to infer causal relationships between the independent and dependent variables.
Classification is the problem of identifying to which of a set of categories (sub-populations) a new observation belongs, on the basis of a training set of data containing observations (or instances) whose category membership is known. It is an example of pattern recognition.
Here, an example would be assigning a given email into "spam" or "non-spam" classes or assigning a diagnosis to a given patient as described by observed characteristics of the patient (gender, blood pressure, presence or absence of certain symptoms, etc.).
A recommendation system is a subclass of information filtering system that seeks to predict the "rating" or "preference" that a user would give to an item. Recommender systems have become increasingly popular in recent years, and are utilized in a variety of areas including movies, music, news, books, research articles, search queries, social tags, and products in general.
Recommender systems typically produce a list of recommendations in one of two ways – through collaborative and content-based filtering or the personality-based approach.
Further, these approaches are often combined as Hybrid Recommender Systems.
Clustering is the task of grouping a set of objects in such a way that objects in the same group (called a cluster) are more similar (in some sense or another) to each other than to those in other groups (clusters). So, it is the main task of exploratory data mining, and a common technique for statistical data analysis, used in many fields, including machine learning, pattern recognition, image analysis, information retrieval, bioinformatics, data compression and computer graphics.
Dimensionality Reduction is the process of reducing the number of random variables under consideration, via obtaining a set of principal variables. It can be divided into feature selection and feature extraction.
Feature Extraction starts from an initial set of measured data and builds derived values (features) intended to be informative and non-redundant, facilitating the subsequent learning and generalization steps, and in some cases leading to better human interpretations. This is related to dimensionality reduction.
Optimization is the selection of the best element (with regard to some criterion) from some set of available alternatives.
In the simplest case, an optimization problem consists of maximizing or minimizing a real function by systematically choosing input values from within an allowed set and computing the value of the function. The generalization of optimization theory and techniques to other formulations comprises a large area of applied mathematics. More generally, optimization includes finding "best available" values of some objective function given a defined domain (or input), including a variety of different types of objective functions and different types of domains.
Problem Statement: To build a Movie Recommendation System which recommends movies based on a user's preferences using Apache Spark.
So, let us assess the requirements to build our movie recommendation system:
As we can assess our requirements, we need the best Big Data tool to process large data in short time. Therefore, Apache Spark is the perfect tool to implement our Movie Recommendation System.
Let us now look at the Flow Diagram for our system.
As we can see, the following uses Streaming from Spark Streaming. We can stream in real time or read data from Hadoop HDFS.
For our Movie Recommendation System, we can get user ratings from many popular websites like IMDB, Rotten Tomatoes and Times Movie Ratings. This dataset is available in many formats such as CSV files, text files and databases. We can either stream the data live from the websites or download and store them in our local file system or HDFS.
The below figure shows how we can collect dataset from popular websites.
Once we stream the data into Spark, it looks somewhat like this.
The whole recommendation system is based on Machine Learning algorithm Alternating Least Squares. Here, ALS is a type of regression analysis where regression is used to draw a line amidst the data points in such a way so that the sum of the squares of the distance from each data point is minimized. Thus, this line is then used to predict the values of the function where it meets the value of the independent variable.
The blue line in the diagram is the best-fit regression line. For this line, the value of the dimension D is minimum. All other red lines will always be farther from the dataset as a whole.
Here is the pseudo code for our program:
import org.apache.spark.mllib.recommendation.ALS import org.apache.spark.mllib.recommendation.Rating import org.apache.spark.SparkConf //Import other necessary packages object Movie { def main(args: Array[String]) { val conf = new SparkConf().setAppName("Movie").setMaster("local[2]") val sc = new SparkContext(conf) val rawData = sc.textFile(" *Read Data from Movie CSV file* ") //rawData.first() val rawRatings = rawData.map( *Split rawData on tab delimiter* ) val ratings = rawRatings.map { *Map case array of User, Movie and Rating* } //Training the data val model = ALS.train(ratings, 50, 5, 0.01) model.userFeatures model.userFeatures.count model.productFeatures.count val predictedRating = *Predict for User 789 for movie 123* val userId = *User 789* val K = 10 val topKRecs = model.recommendProducts( *Recommend for User for the particular value of K* ) println(topKRecs.mkString(" ")) val movies = sc.textFile(" *Read Movie List Data* ") val titles = movies.map(line => line.split("|").take(2)).map(array => (array(0).toInt,array(1))).collectAsMap() val titlesRDD = movies.map(line => line.split("|").take(2)).map(array => (array(0).toInt,array(1))).cache() titles(123) val moviesForUser = ratings.*Search for User 789* val sqlContext= *Create SQL Context* val moviesRecommended = sqlContext.*Make a DataFrame of recommended movies* moviesRecommended.registerTempTable("moviesRecommendedTable") sqlContext.sql("Select count(*) from moviesRecommendedTable").foreach(println) moviesForUser. *Sort the ratings for User 789* .map( *Map the rating to movie title* ). *Print the rating* val results = moviesForUser.sortBy(-_.rating).take(30).map(rating => (titles(rating.product), rating.rating)) } }
Once we generate predictions, we can use Spark SQL to store the results into an RDBMS system. Further, this can be displayed on a web application.
Figure: Movies recommended for User 77
Hurray! We have thus successfully created a Movie Recommendation System using Apache Spark. With this, we have covered just one of the many popular algorithms Spark MLlib has to offer. We will learn more about Machine Learning in the upcoming blogs on Data Science Algorithms.

No leaks! As promised
I bought he rainbow one. The filling port is really cool.my device had an issue but they were very good about it and had me send mine back for a replacement
I tried the Nova which I liked but just wasn't getting enough of a hit so I was
still regular smoking. I tried my cousins Renova for a few days as she had an extra and bought my own. I am happy to say it's been 11 days and I haven't smoked a regular cigarette. The three levels of intake power and the stronger system make this a great choice if your trying to quit.

I'd rather be an Iphone – BBB_
– Part of the NODE17 Closing Evening
Can humanity hope for a better future, or is the game is already (almost) over?
Post-digital electronic music and performance project BBB_ rises the question with an outlook into the "future that already happened". In their strange and mysterious world BBB_ creates various performances where digital technology is seen not a tool, but a phenomena that constructs social, emotional and irrational aspects of our lives today, and helps us to redefine relations between technological and natural worlds and a position and a role of a human and a humanity at large in it.
Their new performance I'D RATHER BE AN IPHONE, that comes along with their first music album release of the same name, is a play on the intersection of utopian and dystopian visions of the future that is already happening, it is a tale of partly-digitalised bodies, cyborgian-like species born to the world that had rapidly obtained a tremendous power of genesis, but is lacking a maturity to handle the complexity of the situation. In this conceptual multi-layered performance artists mediate their futuristic visions with electronic music, live-synthesized voice, emojis, visual poetry and their intense physical presence, with a theoretical approach towards trans-post-humanism, body enhancement, AI, biotechnology and robotics.
The title of the performance is taken from the statement "I'd rather be an iphone than a woman" by British theorist and feminist Helen Hester. "I'd rather be an iphone" is not only the title of the performance, but also of BBB_'s first music album. The album is accompanied by a booklet, containing a downloadable version of the album, as well as bonus tracks, videos, animations. With the Augmented Reality App "Aurasma", the booklet can be brought to live.

Visit your local thrift shop, and you'll find a collection of trophies that have been cast aside. I'm guessing that as kids move away to college, parents drop off boxes and boxes of trophies at their nearest Goodwill.
If you've looked at these trophies, they are not particularly attractive. They are most likely made up of plastic and covered in gold. Not so cute. But what if you took your favorite can of spray paint to it?
For our three year wedding anniversary, I picked up one of the aforementioned trophies at Goodwill, spray painted it yellow, and gave it to Brian.
My inspiration came from our own collection of ultrarunning trophies that Brian has picked up over the years. I thought it would be fun and maybe a little clever, to add my own trophy to his collection. He thought it was funny, and two years later, it's still on our bookshelf.
So I've been thinking, in addition to anniversaries, you can give re-beautified trophies for other Firsts/Seconds/Thirds like First Christmas, Second Home, or Third Birthday. During my latest visit to Goodwill, I saw a fake Oscar. What about spray painting that and giving it out for best pet-sitting performance, best cooking performance, or best performance by a President in the Home Owners Association category.
Just one idea to inexpensively and creatively mark a special occasion.
