You can also contact us by phone on 01452 425060 (option 3). Monday- Friday 8.30-4.30pm.
You can have your ceremony at any of our registration offices or approved venues within Gloucestershire. Please visit the Venues section on this website.
A list of current fees are displayed on this website – please see our 'Ceremony fees' page.
Our fees are subject to review in April of each year.
Payments can be made using credit /debit card. Please telephone the office on 01452 425060 (option 3) Monday- Friday 8.30-4.30pm. Alternatively you can pay in person at our Cheltenham Office. (Gloucestershire Registration Service, St Georges Road, Cheltenham, GL50 3EW).
Please note: payment must be made in full. There is no facility for part-payment to be accepted.
The standard service we offer is called a statutory registration. This is for you and your partner and two witnesses only, in either our Cheltenham or Gloucester office. It is the minimum registration you need to be legally married. Please note there will not be a ring exchange, photos or music.
Alternatively you can choose to have an enhanced ceremony, which will include all the legal formalities to ensure that you are married, but will also be a celebration and an opportunity to involve your family and friends. The ceremony can include personal touches and enhancements, such as music, readings, exchange of rings, as well as the opportunity for photographs.
We work with you to create your own individual ceremony. Our ceremony team are on hand to provide support and help you create the ceremony of your dreams.
Contact your chosen venue directly. When you have booked the venue please then telephone the ceremony team on 01452 425060 (option 3). Registration Officers will be required to attend your ceremony so it is important to contact us as early as possible to ensure they are available on the date you would like. Please note that booking with us can take 10-15 minutes over the phone.
You must each give formal notice of your intention to marry or form a civil partnership, in person at a registration office in the district where you live. You are required to have lived in the district for at least eight days before giving notice.
When you attend a Registration Office to give notice of marriage or civil partnership, you will need to produce certain original documents to confirm your name, age, marital status and nationality.
If either of you are not a British Citizen or National of a country within the European Economic Area, you will need to attend together at a designated registration office for which additional information will be required at the notice appointment.
If either of you have been married or entered in to a civil partnership before you will need to bring one of the documents listed below as evidence that the marriage/civil partnership has ended and that you are free to marry:
The law changed in 2012 allowing couples to marry at any time. Gloucestershire Registration Service has welcomed the opportunity to offer couples ceremonies at approved venues from 8am to 8pm throughout the year. Our ceremonies team are happy to discuss individual requirements outside of these times.
When you have decided on your venue, please telephone us on 01452 425060 (option 3) to check the Registration Officer's availability on the date you would like. We will make you a provisional booking and then ask you to give notice of your intention to marry at your local registration office in the district where you both live. The ceremonies team who make your booking will explain the procedure to you.
If you are having a civil ceremony at a registration office or at an approved venue, you do not have your banns read as you will both give notice of marriage. It's mainly Church of England churches where banns are read.
Civil ceremonies in approved premises may be followed by a celebration, commemoration or blessing of the parties' choice, providing that it is not a religious ceremony and is separate from the civil ceremony. A civil ceremony commences with the registration officer's questioning of the parties and concludes with the departure of the registration officers. There must, therefore, be a clear break between the civil ceremony and any other proceedings. No such proceedings should take place before the civil marriage ceremony.
You will need to obtain parental permission to marry. When making your booking, please inform the ceremonies team who will forward you the relevant parental permission forms to be signed.
By law, you need two witnesses. Gloucestershire Registration Service policy states that witnesses should be 18 years or over and capable of understanding the events that have taken place. Please note members of the registration service cannot act as witnesses. Please phone or email us if you require further clarification on this.
By law, you need to choose declaratory and contractual words of marriage from the options listed within the ceremony brochure. But you can replace the promises with your own words. We will need to know the words you will be saying to each other, and you will either need to learn them or have them written on paper for the day.
Yes you can. The legal words of marriage must be said within a licensed structure. A number of venues in Gloucestershire offer this option.
No. The law states that civil marriage ceremonies must not be religious in nature and any inclusion (reading, music etc) must be essentially non-religious in context. No civil marriage ceremony should include extracts from an authorised religious marriage service or readings from sacred religious texts, hymns or other religious chants, involve any religious rituals or any form of worship.
Currently you are unable to marry in your own garden. However there are options for marrying at venues which have an outside structure licensed. Please contact our ceremonies team on [email protected] or telephone 01452 425060 (option 3), to talk through the options.
A list of current fees are displayed on this website – please see our 'Ceremony fees' page.
Our fees are subject to review in April of each year and couples are reminded that it is their responsibility to ensure they pay the correct fee at least 2 months before their ceremony.
Choices should be submitted at least 2 months prior to the ceremony to enable your personalised script to be produced. The ceremony fee must be paid at least 2 calendar months before the date of your ceremony. In the case of bookings made within 2 months of the proposed date full payment is required at the time of booking.
When we have received everything we need, we will send you a courtesy email to inform you that we have everything and that we will meet you both on the day.
You will meet the Registration Officers on the day, before the ceremony is due to start. This is when you can tell us of any changes of witnesses, photographers etc.
Yes, you can change your readings and music but we will need to approve any changes. Please email the changes to [email protected], unfortunately we cannot guarantee to accommodate last minute changes. Please include your names and booking reference number on any correspondance.
An amendment fee will be charged for any changes to the date, time or venue of your ceremony, subject to availability. If you have changed your venue since giving notice, you will need to give notice again and a fee of £35 per person will be payable for each new notice given
Gloucestershire Registration Service recognises the importance of photographs which capture the moment and serve as a lasting memory of a couple's special day and will work with an official photographer (or one member of the party who is not a witness, if there is no official photographer) to ensure, where possible, the wishes of the couple are accommodated.
There are appropriate points in the ceremony for music to be played:
If you are getting married at one of our approved venues, please send the CD directly to that venue. If you are getting married at one of our Registration Offices, please ensure the CD is sent to the Cheltenham office;
Gloucestershire Registration Service,
St Georges Road,
Cheltenham GL50 3EW.
CDs should be sent when returning your choices form, 2 months prior to your ceremony, to ensure we have the opportunity to confirm they play on our music system. If music choices have not been received within time scales, Gloucestershire Registration Service will provide suitable music for your ceremony.
Unfortunately we are not able to guarantee using your own choice of music if your CD arrives late or you bring it with you on the day.
The couple are seen privately and separately to check the details which are to be entered into the marriage register. It is also an opportunity for you to ask any last minute questions you may have.
No: All legalities and preparations for the ceremony would have been completed prior to your big day. Which means on the day itself all you have to think about is arriving in good time and having a wonderful day!
Whilst some say that it is tradition to be 'fashionably late' on the day, it is important that your ceremony starts promptly as your Registration Officers may have other ceremonies to attend. Late arrival may result in your ceremony not going ahead

Typhoon Haiyan battered the Philippines, unleashing winds that gusted up to 170 mph and waves that washed away buildings and leaving as many as 10,000 dead in one city alone. Officials say the death toll could climb when emergency crews reach areas cut off by flooding and landslides. Here are some facts about the Philippines:
GEOGRAPHY: The island nation covers 116,000 square miles — a bit more territory than Arizona — spread out over more than 7,100 islands in the South China Sea east of Vietnam.
DEMOGRAPHICS: The Philippines has 106 million people, 13th in the world between No.12 Mexico and No.14 Ethiopia. The country is young: The median Filipino — half older, half younger — is 23 years old, compared with 37 in the United States. More than 80 percent of the Philippine people are Catholic and 5 percent are Muslim. Literacy is high: more than 95 percent of the population age 15 and older can read and write. Average life expectancy at birth is 69 for men and 75 for women.
POLITICS: The former Spanish and later American colony has been independent since July 4, 1946. The Philippines is a democracy with an elected president and a Congress comprising a House of Representatives and a Senate. The capital is Manila. The country spent nine years under martial law during the dictatorial reign of President Ferdinand Marcos, who was ousted in the non-violent "People Power" uprising of 1986. The country has struggled off and on with a communist insurgency and a rebellion in the southern region of Mindanao, where Muslims seek autonomy or independence.
TIES TO AMERICA: In 1898, the United States seized the Philippines from Spain in the Spanish-American War. Filipinos rose up in rebellion against American rule from 1899 to 1902. Some of the bloodiest fighting took place on the island of Samar, which was hit hard by Typhoon Haiyan. Since independence, the Philippines has maintained close ties to the United States. More than 1.8 million Philippine-born people live in America. They account nearly 16 percent of Asian-born American residents, behind only China and India.
ECONOMY: The Philippines was largely unscathed by the global financial crisis. Its economy grew 6.8 percent last year, second to China among major Asian economies, and is expected to match that pace this year. The economy benefits from money sent back to the Philippines by 4 million to 5 million Filipinos working overseas. The Philippines suffers from pockets of poverty and from endemic corruption: It scores 34 out of 100 on Transparency International's Corruption Perceptions Index, which measures the perceived level of government corruption; a score of 100 indicates that the government is seen as clean. The Philippines ranked well below average, 105th out of 174 countries ranked.

ORLANDO, Fla. - Maryland teachers were instructed to engage with children by crouching and speaking to them at eye level.Chevrolet dealers were taught to follow theatrical metaphors: onstage, greeting potential customers with smiles; and offstage, taking out-of-sight cigarette breaks. Such personal-service tips came from the Disney Institute, the low-profile consulting division of the Walt Disney Co.Desperate for new ways to reach consumers, an increasing array of industries and organizations is paying Disney to teach them how to emulate Disney.
ORLANDO, Fla. � Maryland teachers were instructed to engage with children by crouching and speaking to them at eye level.Chevrolet dealers were taught to follow theatrical metaphors: onstage, greeting potential customers with smiles; and offstage, taking out-of-sight cigarette breaks.
A children�s hospital in Florida was advised to welcome patients with an entertaining approach, prompting it to employ a ukulele-playing greeter dressed in safari gear.
Such personal-service tips came from the Disney Institute, the low-profile consulting division of the Walt Disney Co.Desperate for new ways to reach consumers, an increasing array of industries and organizations is paying Disney to teach them how to emulate Disney.
Revenue from the Disney Institute has doubled during the past three years, according to Disney, powered in part by its aggressive pursuit of new business.
Clients range from large entities � Haagen-Dazs International, United Airlines, the country of South Africa � to small ones: three Subway restaurants in Maine, a Michigan hair salon, a Boston youth counseling center.
The Disney Institute recently hired a network of field representatives to sign up clients and started dispatching its executives to companies wanting help; before that, advice seekers traveled to Disney World in Florida or Disneyland in California.
�We�re putting our people on planes all day every day, domestically and internationally,� said Jeff James, who runs Disney�s consulting branch. �Some clients are in great shape and want to improve even further, and some are truly clueless.�
James said the up-and-down economy has put pressure on companies to pay more attention to consumers� needs. He also cited the importance of the Internet, which �gives unhappy customers a megaphone.�
Disney, which employs 64,000 people in Orlando alone, has its own employee difficulties, of course. Union spats arise, and some employees chafe at the company�s strict rules, although it recently lifted a facial-hair ban and now allows women to forgo pantyhose. Disney�s sugary customer service can also startle visitors who aren�t used to so much uniform cheerfulness.
But vast numbers of consumers love it, and the company is routinely showcased in business books, such as The Disney Way: Harnessing the Management Secrets of Disney in Your Company, for its hospitality and efficiency. For instance, the company has spent so much time studying its park customers � more than 120?million of them globally last year � that it places trash cans every 27 paces, the average distance that a visitor carries a candy wrapper before discarding it.
That attention to detail is what compelled Frank Supovitz, the National Football League�s senior vice president for events, to hire Disney to help with this year�s Super Bowl, after a seating debacle at the 2011 game. Disney devised and executed a training program for the game�s 20,000 staff members and helped coordinate crowd control.
�We wanted those 20,000 people to internalize a sense of pride in their part to play,� Supovitz said, adding that he planned to hire Disney again next year.
Sometimes the Disney influence is more noticeable. Florida Hospital, a 22-campus chain, now employs the ukulele-playing greeter and exhibits what Tim Burrill, a vice president of the chain, called �calming video art� elsewhere. The hospital installed recessed lighting in hallways after Disney researchers found that patients on gurneys didn�t like staring at fluorescent bulbs.
Disney has been marketing its services to hospitals in advance of a new government requirement that patient-satisfaction surveys be reported online; starting in October, billions of dollars in Medicare reimbursements will be linked to the scores.
Alan Batey, vice president for Chevrolet sales and service, said: �Some dealers were very skeptical. We had to explain that this was about taking the best things about Disney and applying it to our own culture. We�re not going to be building castles and dressing people up in costumes."
The Disney-led workshops emphasize five principles: leadership, training, customer experience, brand loyalty and creativity. Sessions are custom-tailored.
�We needed some help figuring out how we can really excite our customers by doing lots of little things really well,� Batey said. So far, ideas include improving children�s play areas and returning vehicles to owners with dealer-branded bottles of water in the cup holders.
Disney got into the consulting business by accident after being featured in the 1984 best-seller In Search of Excellence: Lessons from America�s Best-Run Companies by Thomas J. Peters and Robert H. Waterman. So many corporations started asking for tips that the company created a program in 1986 called the Disney Approach to People Management and formalized the business a decade later with the opening of the institute.
James wouldn�t say how much the institute earns, but it is a financial drop in the bucket for a conglomerate with annual global sales of $41 billion. Fees range from $900 a person for a one-day workshop to hundreds of thousands of dollars for on-site work.
�Companies come in and say, �Just make my employees smile more,�??� James said. �But you can�t take Disney and just plug it in. We can advise them on how to change, but the heavy lifting is theirs.�

News Corp fiscal 2Q earns top expectations
NEW YORK (AP) — News Corp., the publishing company controlled by Rupert Murdoch, reported second-quarter earnings that exceeded Wall Street forecasts while revenue declined as expected, reflecting slower advertising sales.
Net income in the three months through Dec. 31 amounted to $150 million, or 26 cents per share. That was less than the $1.40 billion in profit the company reported a year earlier, when it recorded a $1.3 billion gain from its acquisition of Australian pay TV company Consolidated Media Holdings Ltd.
Excluding charges for restructuring, a U.K. hacking probe and other matters, adjusted earnings were 31 cents per share, beating the 21 cents expected by analysts polled by FactSet.
Revenue fell 4 percent to $2.24 billion, in line with expectations.
Shares of the New York company rose 4.2 percent to $16.70 in extended trading following the release of results, after closing regular trading up 2.6 percent at $16.02.
"The earnings report demonstrates a measure of progress as we navigate a challenging advertising market," CEO Robert Thomson said in a statement. "We are continuing to be disciplined on costs."
Revenue from its largest segment — news and information services — fell 9 percent to $1.61 billion, dragged down by a weakening Australian dollar, slower advertising revenue and the sale of Dow Jones Local Media Group, which ran 33 U.S. publications including the Cape Cod Times and The Pocono Record. The declines were slightly offset by higher subscription pricing at The Wall Street Journal and higher cover prices for The Sun in Britain and other newspapers.
Book publishing revenue grew 4 percent to $391 million as HarperCollins was boosted by the release of "Allegiant," the final novel in Veronica Roth's "Divergent" trilogy. E-book revenue grew 39 percent, making up 17 percent of book revenues, up from 14 percent a year ago.

To Terratrike: I really like my new Rambler. However, I think you do a great disservice by not explaining the danger of "Leg-Sucking". I think you have a great liability by not providing heel straps (at a minimum). While I'm on safety issues, what good is the reflective material on the seat if your back covers it? Also, you should add another.5 to 1" on the handlebars for mounting a thumb bell or other devices, like mirrors. Side reflectors would be wise too.
It's a bear getting my shoes in them. Last night my shoulder nearly went into
a "Lets kill him with a spasm" mode when I reached down to pull strap higher on my shoe. When my breathing
returned, I thought "Backscratcher" to
reach down there next time.
Thirteen miles today and the first nasty
jump on the edge of a bridge my right
foot completely jumped out of the sling.
Guess I didn't have my shoe pushed hard against the pedal. I've ridden that
path before too.


text: I want to go back to school to get another degree or certification. I graduated college 3 years ago but I have a degree is a major that isnt exactly worth much. I still want to do IM full time. But I want to have something to fallback on. Just incase 2 years I need a more steady cashflow or my money making ventures dry up. Plus i want a job for insurance and pension matching and all that BS Im thinking about getting into healthcare possibly nursing but i dont know if thats for me. I would like to work in healthcare because it seems like that is the way to go these days for a guarenteed job. If I can find a field in health care that only requires a certification that would be sweet. Im also thinking something in the technological field. My only concern with that is that I am worried some of the techy jobs wont have a demand in a few years or will just be outsourced. Does anyone recommend a field or certification I should look into that will still be in demand?

10 Things that Successful Sales People Do That Failures Won't
"The secret of success lies in forming the habit of doing things that failures don't like to do." Albert E. N. Gray
Today I want to share some great words of wisdom on sales that form the base of my business and also will lead you into what our new sales group is doing.
Watch this article with Coach Manny on Facebook Live, just click the link below:
Each of these is meant to help you strengthen your sales process.
1/ Make the calls you are suppose to make today.
No matter what else is going on.
There are no excuses.
Subscribe to that and you will be amazed at what happens.
2/ Do what you said you where going to do when you said you were going to do it.
In other words, schedule everything, and then execute your schedule.
Plan out tomorrow in detail, what you are going to do and when you are going to do it. Then execute your plan and don't let other people drive your day.
3/ Stay focused on the sales
As a sales person your job in to close business.
There are so many distractions all around you.
Ignore them.
Your job is to bring in business; everything else around you is secondary. Successful sales people sell, and they sell big. It really is that simple.
4/ Have a Positive Attitude and Take Positive Action
Successful people never let you know they are not on top of the situation. They smile, they laugh they make your feel good. They make you feel like everything is great.
That is the attitude that closes business.
But don't just have the attitude; instead turn the attitude into action.
It is one thing to have the attitude; it is another to do it in everything you do.
5/ If your company won't buy it for you, buy it yourself.
You are a sales person.
You make money selling.
If you have a problem because you lack a certain tool, go buy it.
You get paid a commission.
You have unlimited earning potential.
If you really need it, it should be a no brainer.
6/ Prospect Everyday
It doesn't matter what else you have to do.
Set aside 1 hour or more everyday and prospect.
If you fill the funnel, then overflow it, then make it run all over the place.
7/ Practice every day
Know the script.
Know the product.
Know it inside, outside and around.
Practice, practice, practice.
Then do it again.
8/ Know the questions your prospect is going to ask.
Know what they are going to ask.
Give them the answer in easy terms they understand.
They should never ask a question you don't have the answer to.
They should never get an answer they don't understand.
9/ Get to "Yes" or get to "No"
It is easier to hang out in the middle.
If the customer doesn't say no, then they are still a prospect.
Go through you list.
Ask yourself, and then ask them.
Get to yes or get to no.
Then get on with it.
10/ Your Day is not finished until the work is done.
Sales people have unlimited income potential.
That also means they have to work until the work is done.
This is not 9-5.
Successful sales people are always working.
They might be working in the islands in the South Caribbean but they are working.
Don't stop till you are done.
The reward for great sales is unlimited.
Stay and finish.
Looking for the keys to take you down this road? Then perhaps you should look at our new private Facebook Group

BBC bans red lipstick as kids' TV presenters told not to look 'too sexy'
BBC bosses have BANNED red lipstick for kids' TV presenters, declaring they should not be "too sexy".
Melissa Hardinge, executive editor of CBBC Independents, revealed she keeps a close eye on presenters' appearances.
She claims to have once forced stars of the channel's Friday Download programme to remove some of their make-up.
"Obviously sexualisation of girls is something we take incredibly seriously," she told a panel at the British Academy of Film and Television Arts.
"We try to show fantastic female role models.
"I go on to the floor of Friday Download and make them take their red lipstick off, the presenters."
Current hosts of Friday Download include singer-songwriter Dionne Bromfield and actress Shannon Flynn.
"I go on to the floor of Friday Download and make them take their red lipstick off, the presenters."Melissa Hardinge, executive editor of CBBC Independents
Ms Hardinge highlighted former Blue Peter presenter Helen Skelton as a good role model for young girls.
The 30-year-old is known for her record-breaking solo kayak along the Amazon river for Sport Relief, as well as taking part in a number of other endurance events.
Ms Hardinge also revealed the BBC are looking at which words should be banned from kids TV, as well as the issue of violence.
She added: "The problem is that certain words in some families are fine and some are not.
"I have sat in editorial forums at the BBC where we have spent 20 minutes talking about whether the word 'fart' is acceptable or not.
"It depends on the context and whether you can use a euphemism."

Cluster Configuration Guidelines
Use the guidance in this section to help you determine the instance types, purchasing options, and amount of storage to provision for each node type in an EMR cluster.
What Instance Type Should You Use?
There are several ways to add EC2 instances to a cluster, which depend on whether you use the instance groups configuration or the instance fleets configuration for the cluster.
Instance Groups
Manually add instances of the same type to existing core and task instance groups.
Manually add a task instance group, which can use a different instance type.
Set up automatic scaling in Amazon EMR for an instance group, adding and removing instances automatically based on the value of an Amazon CloudWatch metric that you specify. For more information, see Scaling Cluster Resources.
Instance Fleets
Add a single task instance fleet.
Change the target capacity for On-Demand and Spot Instances for existing core and task instance fleets. For more information, see Configure Instance Fleets.
One way to plan the instances of your cluster is to run a test cluster with a representative sample set of data and monitor the utilization of the nodes in the cluster. For more information, see View and Monitor a Cluster. Another way is to calculate the capacity of the instances you are considering and compare that value against the size of your data.
In general, the master node type, which assigns tasks, doesn't require an EC2 instance with much processing power; EC2 instances for the core node type, which process tasks and store data in HDFS, need both processing power and storage capacity; EC2 instances for the task node type, which don't store data, need only processing power. For guidelines about available EC2 instances and their configuration, see Plan and Configure EC2 Instances.
The following guidelines apply to most Amazon EMR clusters.
The master node does not have large computational requirements. For most clusters of 50 or fewer nodes, consider using an m4.large instance. For clusters of more than 50 nodes, consider using an m4.xlarge.
The computational needs of the core and task nodes depend on the type of processing your application performs. Many jobs can be run on m4.large instance types, which offer balanced performance in terms of CPU, disk space, and input/output. If your application has external dependencies that introduce delays (such as web crawling to collect data), you may be able to run the cluster on t2.medium instances to reduce costs while the instances are waiting for dependencies to finish. For improved performance, consider running the cluster using m4.xlarge instances for the core and task nodes. If different phases of your cluster have different capacity needs, you can start with a small number of core nodes and increase or decrease the number of task nodes to meet your job flow's varying capacity requirements.
Most Amazon EMR clusters can run on standard EC2 instance types such as m4.large and m4.xlarge. Computation-intensive clusters may benefit from running on High CPU instances, which have proportionally more CPU than RAM. Database and memory-caching applications may benefit from running on High Memory instances. Network-intensive and CPU-intensive applications like parsing, NLP, and machine learning may benefit from running on Cluster Compute instances, which provide proportionally high CPU resources and increased network performance.
The amount of data you can process depends on the capacity of your core nodes and the size of your data as input, during processing, and as output. The input, intermediate, and output datasets all reside on the cluster during processing.
By default, the total number of EC2 instances you can run on a single AWS account is 20. This means that the total number of nodes you can have in a cluster is 20. For more information about how to request a limit increase for your account, see AWS Limits.
When Should You Use Spot Instances?
There are several scenarios in which Spot Instances are useful for running an Amazon EMR cluster.
Long-Running Clusters and Data Warehouses
If you are running a persistent Amazon EMR cluster that has a predictable variation in computational capacity, such as a data warehouse, you can handle peak demand at lower cost with Spot Instances. You can launch your master and core instance groups as On-Demand Instances to handle the normal capacity and launch the task instance group as Spot Instances to handle your peak load requirements.
Cost-Driven Workloads
If you are running transient clusters for which lower cost is more important than the time to completion, and losing partial work is acceptable, you can run the entire cluster (master, core, and task instance groups) as Spot Instances to benefit from the largest cost savings.
Data-Critical Workloads
If you are running a cluster for which lower cost is more important than time to completion, but losing partial work is not acceptable, launch the master and core instance groups as on-demand and supplement with one or more task instance groups of Spot Instances. Running the master and core instance groups as on-demand ensures that your data is persisted in HDFS and that the cluster is protected from termination due to Spot market fluctuations, while providing cost savings that accrue from running the task instance groups as Spot Instances.
Application Testing
When you are testing a new application in order to prepare it for launch in a production environment, you can run the entire cluster (master, core, and task instance groups) as Spot Instances to reduce your testing costs.
Choose What to Launch as Spot Instances
When you launch a cluster in Amazon EMR, you can choose to launch any or all of the instance groups (master, core, and task) as Spot Instances. Because each type of instance group plays a different role in the cluster, the implications of launching each instance group as Spot Instances vary.
When you launch an instance group either as on-demand or as Spot Instances, you cannot change its classification while the cluster is running. To change an On-Demand instance group to Spot Instances or vice versa, you must terminate the cluster and launch a new one.
The following table shows launch configurations for using Spot Instances in various applications.
|Master Instance Group
|Core Instance Group
|Task Instance Groups
|Long-running clusters
|On-Demand or instance-fleet mix
|Spot or instance-fleet mix
|Cost-driven workloads
|Data-critical workloads
|Spot or instance-fleet mix
|Application testing
Master Node as Spot Instance
The master node controls and directs the cluster. When it terminates, the cluster ends, so you should only launch the master node as a Spot Instance if you are running a cluster where sudden termination is acceptable. This might be the case if you are testing a new application, have a cluster that periodically persists data to an external store such as Amazon S3, or are running a cluster where cost is more important than ensuring the cluster's completion.
When you launch the master instance group as a Spot Instance, the cluster does not start until that Spot Instance request is fulfilled. This is something to consider when selecting your maximum Spot price.
You can only add a Spot Instance master node when you launch the cluster. Master nodes cannot be added or removed from a running cluster.
Typically, you would only run the master node as a Spot Instance if you are running the entire cluster (all instance groups) as Spot Instances.
Core Instance Group as Spot Instances
Core nodes process data and store information using HDFS. You typically only run core nodes as Spot Instances if you are either not running task nodes or running task nodes as Spot Instances.
When you launch the core instance group as Spot Instances, Amazon EMR waits until it can provision all of the requested core instances before launching the instance group. This means that if you request a core instance group with six nodes, the instance group does not launch if there are only five nodes available at or below your maximum Spot price. In this case, Amazon EMR continues to wait until all six core nodes are available at your Spot price or until you terminate the cluster.
You can add Spot Instance core nodes either when you launch the cluster or later to add capacity to a running cluster. You cannot shrink the size of the core instance group in a running cluster by reducing the instance count. However, it is possible to terminate an instance in the core instance group using the AWS CLI or the API. This should be done with caution. Terminating an instance in the core instance group risks data loss, and the instance is not automatically replaced.
Task Instance Groups as Spot Instances
The task nodes process data but do not hold persistent data in HDFS. If they terminate because the Spot price has risen above your maximum Spot price, no data is lost and the effect on your cluster is minimal.
When you launch one or more task instance groups as Spot Instances, Amazon EMR provisions as many task nodes as it can, using your maximum Spot price. This means that if you request a task instance group with six nodes, and only five Spot Instances are available at or below your maximum Spot price, Amazon EMR launches the instance group with five nodes, adding the sixth later if possible.
Launching task instance groups as Spot Instances is a strategic way to expand the capacity of your cluster while minimizing costs. If you launch your master and core instance groups as On-Demand Instances, their capacity is guaranteed for the run of the cluster. You can add task instances to your task instance groups as needed, to handle peak traffic or speed up data processing.
You can add or remove task nodes using the console, AWS CLI, or API. You can also add additional task groups, but you cannot remove a task group after it is created.
Calculating the Required HDFS Capacity of a Cluster
The amount of HDFS storage available to your cluster depends on these factors:
The number of EC2 instances used for core nodes.
The capacity of the EC2 instance store for the instance type used. For more information on instance store volumes, see Amazon EC2 Instance Store in the Amazon EC2 User Guide for Linux Instances.
The number and size of EBS volumes attached to core nodes.
A replication factor, which accounts for how each data block is stored in HDFS for RAID-like redundancy. By default, the replication factor is three for a cluster of 10 or more core nodes, two for a cluster of 4-9 core nodes, and one for a cluster of three or fewer nodes.
To calculate the HDFS capacity of a cluster, for each core node, add the instance store volume capacity to the EBS storage capacity (if used). Multiply the result by the number of core nodes, and then divide the total by the replication factor based on the number of core nodes. For example, a cluster with 10 core nodes of type i2.xlarge, which have 800 GB of instance storage without any attached EBS volumes, has a total of approximately 2,666 GB available for HDFS (10 nodes x 800 GB ÷ 3 replication factor).
If the calculated HDFS capacity value is smaller than your data, you can increase the amount of HDFS storage in the following ways:
Creating a cluster with additional EBS volumes or adding instance groups with attached EBS volumes to an existing cluster
Adding more core nodes
Choosing an EC2 instance type with greater storage capacity
Using data compression
Changing the Hadoop configuration settings to reduce the replication factor
Reducing the replication factor should be used with caution as it reduces the redundancy of HDFS data and the ability of the cluster to recover from lost or corrupted HDFS blocks.

Every so often you hear about just how wonderful people can be, and when it also involves the arts, the results can be shared with total strangers as well as friends.
Such was the case with a recent gift to Sculpture in the South honoring one of it's staunch supporters, Lena Cox.
Those who love Summerville, and it's small-town Southern charm can thank Cox for her early vision of the town.
She was on the first board of the DREAM project that promotes the town. Ditto for the Sculpture in the South project where sculptures are commissioned from famous artists and placed around town for all to enjoy.
Cox has been quietly supporting both organizations through the years, not taking credit for all that she has done. She has always wanted to make Summerville a better place.
That's why her friends wanted to do something special for her as a Christmas present, and as a thank you. Cox has pancreatic cancer and has been sick, so something very special was called for.
So an email went out from Nancyjean Nettles at Beidler Forest wanting to raise enough money for a sculpture to honor of this important friend of the arts. Nettles had no idea that the love Cox has demonstrated for the community was about to return in spades.
The email raised enough money to pay for a pair of life-size Canada geese by Paul Rhymer that will be set out in Town Square. He's a nationally known sculptor and a taxidermist for the Smithsonian Institution. He also has other works in the Summerville collection.
The love that poured out also raised enough for two more sculptures still to be decided.
And the presentation, well, about 50 people were expected, but more than 200 showed on a rainy day just after Christmas at the small chapel near the square. It was packed and overflowing, but everyone wanted to let the Cox family know just how much they are loved.
Cox's legacy of love will live on as part of the BIRDS project (Birds in Residence in Downtown Summerville), and tourists will get the chance to go on a scavenger hunt that will take them through the parks of Summerville to find these wonderful works of art.
Now that's an exhibition of love.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Lisa Cain or Leslie Oliver
July 14, 1999 202/785-7729 or 7723, e-mail: email@example.com
Washington, DC ń The American Association of University Women (AAUW)
announced today the introduction of the Educating Americaís Girls Act
(Girls Act). The bill will improve education for girls by reducing gender
bias in technology, high school athletics, and dropout prevention programs,
and train teachers to recognize and reduce incidents of sexual harassment.
The bipartisan bill was introduced by Reps. Dale Kildee (D-MI), Nancy
Johnson (R-CT), Lynn Woolsey (D-CA), and Connie Morella (R-MD).
As Congress prepares to reauthorize the Elementary and Secondary Education
Act (ESEA), which since 1965 has established the main federal programs
assisting elementary and secondary schools, it is vital to recognize the
advancements that girls have made in education and sports and continue to
improve the opportunities available to girls in the next century. The
Girls Act addresses issues that were raised in the AAUW Educational
Foundationís 1998 report, Gender Gaps: Where Schools Still Fail Our
Children, and other AAUW reports, and seeks to ensure that girlsí
educational needs are met.
ěThis legislation will help bring fairness, equity, and opportunity in
education to thousands of girls nationwide, and will provide a safe
environment for Americaís girls to compete in the ever-changing global
economy of the next century,î said AAUW Government Relations Director Nancy
AAUW was successful in 1994 in addressing gender bias in schools throughout
the ESEA.
This law encouraged professional development and recruitment activities to
increase the number of women math and science teachers.
ěIt is important to maintain and strengthen the gender equity provisions
adopted in the 1994 law,î Zirkin said. ěEfforts to achieve high academic
standards in Kń12 education will fail unless education reform focuses on
the different needs of different students.î
Following are the Girls Act provisions:
Gender Gaps found that girls, when compared to boys, are at a significant
disadvantage as technology is increasingly incorporated into the classroom.
Girls tend to come to the classroom with less exposure to computers and
believe that they are less adept at using technology than boys. While boys
take advanced programming classes, girls take data entry, and only 17
percent of Advanced Placement test takers in computer science are girls.
The Girls Act requires schools to train teachers to address the different
learning needs of girls in technology.
ěGender Gaps found that girls are not learning the technical skills they
need to compete in the 21st century. We need to dismantle the ëvirtual
ceilingí now before it becomes a real-life barrier to girls in the future,î
Zirkin said.
The Girls Act will help make schools safer by reducing sexual harassment
and abuse. Hostile Hallways, the AAUW Educational Foundationís 1993
report, found that 4 out of 5 students report that they have been the
target of sexual harassment during their school lives. The Girls Act
provides training for teachers and administrators to recognize sexual
harassment and contains provisions to gather data on these often hidden
Title IX has opened up new opportunities for girls in high school
athletics. A study by the Presidentís Council on Physical Fitness and
Sports recently found that girls playing sports have better physical and
emotional health than those who do not. Unfortunately, nationwide data
measuring the participation of girls in physical education and high school
athletics programs is very limited. The Girls Act requires the National
Center on Education Statistics to collect data on the participation of high
school students in physical education and athletics programs by gender.
Education is the means for all girls, including pregnant and parenting
teens, to achieve economic success. Almost one million teenagers become
pregnant each year, and 80 percent of these pregnancies are unintended.
Pregnancy and parenting are still the most commonly cited reasons why girls
drop out of school. Two-thirds of girls who give birth before age 18 will
not complete high school. Further, the younger the adolescent is when she
becomes pregnant, the more likely it is that she will not complete high
school. The Girls Act strengthens support for programs to keep pregnant
and parenting teens in school through graduation.
WOMENíS EDUCATIONAL EQUITY ACT
AAUW has supported the Womenís Educational Equity Act (WEEA), established
to help achieve educational equity for women and girls, since its inception
in 1974. Since that time, WEEA has helped reduce discrimination and
inequity in school by funding research, development, and dissemination of
curricular materials; training programs; and guidance and testing
activities. The Girls Act reauthorizes the Womenís Educational Equity Act.
The Girls Act is endorsed by the National Coalition for Women and Girls in
Education (NCWGE), a coalition of over 50 organizations dedicated to gender
equity in education. AAUW, with 150,000 members in over 1,500 local
branches nationwide, promotes gender fairness, equity, and diversity
through all levels of education.

Kim Kardashian Goes Au Naturale for Trip to the Nail Salon
It's always a little awkward seeing the industry's biggest names go au naturale and Kim Kardashian is no exception.
After riding roller coasters with her rapper boo Kanye West at Six Flags in California, the highest paid actress decided to take a solo trip to the nail salon in Beverly Hills sporting an up-do, no make-up, flip flops and basic black athletic gear–a far cry from the done-up glamour the cameras are used to.
When you're a top-earning television star, everything you do is newsworthy.

Dear ticketless Coachella aspirants, if you're not able to spend in the neighborhood of $700, sell an organ on the black market, or are just shy of three goats to spare to get inside Coachella, don't give up hope. You can always enter some contests to win tickets courtesy of Global Inheritance. But just because you're not paying out of pocket doesn't mean these coveted passes won't cost you.
However, if you're willing to sacrifice your dignity, the health of your friends and family, and the cost of gas, lost hope, and broken dreams of driving to Coachella only to be told you're not a winner, then these contests may be the best option for you. Now's the time for some honest self-reflection and to ask yourself how badly you want to make it to the annual festival in the desert. Would you do this? [Top photo via]
How To Enter: Drive to the Coachella festival grounds with at least four people in the car and place a normal size sheet of paper or larger on your dashboard displaying the word "CARPOOLCHELLA". "Secret Spotters" will be roaming the area looking for cars of four or more with the Carpoolchella signs and randomly choosing winners .
What You Stand To Win: Prizes will be selected randomly and include but are not limited to:
VIP tickets to Coachella for Life
All access guest passes
VIP wristbands
Photo passes
$50 Coachella merch vouchers
Golf cart ride to the front entrance
What You Stand To Lose: Four (or more) people's gas, time, and hope. And imagine the burn of being picked as a winner only to win the merch voucher. What a slap in the face. It's not even enough money to get all four people in your in your crew "I Survived Coachella Traffic and Heat And All I Got Was This Lousy T-Shirt" shirts. [Photo via]
How To Enter: Design a creative, innovative recycling bin for the Coachella grounds and submit your concept and artwork. If you get the green light as one of the 50 confirmed recycling bin artists, you build your bin which will be on display in L.A. for the two weeks before the festival.
What You Stand To Win: Of the 50 confirmed bin artists, 25 will win VIP Coachella Tickets and the other 25 will win Coachella Gift Bags.
What You Stand To Lose: Time, effort and the cost of designing a recycling bin. Again, unless there are some festival tickets in that gift bag, it's really no consolation. [Photo via]
How To Enter: Submit your DJ demo music mix. Here's where it gets interesting; if you get approved to participate you'll have to spin for the standard 40 minute set times at the festival for the Coachella crowd. BUT you'll also need the help of 18 friends and/or family members there backing you...
What You Stand To Win: A chance to DJ a set at Coachella, plus access to the shows for you and your 18 team members.
What You Stand To Lose: For many, such an opportunity to show off DJ skills would be a dream come true. Even if it isn't, a DJ set at Coachella is a small price to pay for access to the shows.
The larger cost comes at the expense of 18 of your friends and/or family members you'll need in order to spin your set since they're the energy source to power your DJ equipment. Next to the stage where you'll perform, your crew will have to ride hamster wheels, energy swings, energy bikes and do lots of other exhausting activities and exercises (in what will likely be 80º+ heat in the desert). The energy they generate will be stored and used to power the decks for your DJ set.
If you can round up 18 people who are willing to reduce themselves to caged rodents running in place under extreme heat in front of the festival audience (which we would totally do, by the way), then this could be your golden ticket. Photo via]

I haven't started back reading Micro yet... but I will very soon. I read Books, Books, Books in its entirety (not much to an editorial cartoon collection) and the intro of Moby Dick in Pictures, but I won't read anything of substance until after I've finished Micro. I'd better get on the ball since the spring semester starts in less than two weeks.
I hope everyone else out there had a very literary holiday, even if the books were ebooks. hehe

In order to improve the surface quality of wire rods, the surfaces of the materials, billets, are descaled by shot blasting. And after inspecting any surface flaw and imperfection by a magnetic particle tester, the flaws are removed from the surface by using a grinding machine. In addition, the continuous ultrasonic testing is conducted to guarantee the internal quality of the billets.
Precision component control is required to ensure weldability and material characteristics of deposit metal and TS deviation control. The wire rod slow cooling operation is conducted to guarantee wire workability. The rods are used for CO2 gas shielded arc welding wire, submerged arc welding wire and general electrodes.
This type of steel is used in automobile suspension devices and thus is an ultra clean alloy-added steel with excellent fatigue resistance. It is also used in coil springs and stabilizer bars.
This ultra clean high-alloy steel wire rod with excellent durability that can endure repeated high loading is used in ball bearings and ring bearings.
Steel cord, manufactured through drawing (0.4-0.15mø) and cording of high carbon steel wire rod, is used to reinforce the durability of automobile tires. This type of product requires especially clean and high-strength steel.
This type of steel wire rod is made of low carbon steel with a C content under 0.22% and is used in manufacturing various kinds of steel wire, nails and wire entanglement.
This high-machinability type steel with such free-cutting elements as P and S added is used in precision parts of automobiles and home appliances.
High-carbon steel products require the micro structure of fine pearlite to maintain high strength and ensure wire drawability. They are used for wire ropes, precision springs, bead wires and general PC steel wires.
This type of rod, widely used in high-strength bead wires, LR PC steel wires and music wires, is made from high-carbon clean steels with excellent filamentary drawability, high strength and fatigue resistance.
Wire rod for cold heading quality is cold headed, forged or extruded to make bolts, nuts or screws that are widely used in automobile parts and industrial machines. This steel requires strict quality control because of its severe working conditions and various special usages, and therfore should be handled with utmost care to prevent surface flaws.
This PC bar type of steel is used for strengthening concrete in telegraph poles and piles, and is produced by high frequency heat treating structural carbon steel that has traces of boron, or a large quantity of Si added. In comparison with mild steel, this kind of steel has higher elastic limits and lower relaxation.
As a core material used in joining mechanical parts, such as high-strength bolts and nuts, it is a high-strength product with such added alloy elements as Cr, Ni, Mo.
