WHAT IS wrong with Ms Sykes and Ms Lines (Letters, 30 August)? People are wary of asking new mothers whether they intend not to return to work for fear of insulting their professional intelligence; or whether they intend to resume work in case they invoke the defensive 'Can't I just be a mother?' reply. I am sure that many women, such as myself, have felt no social conditioning, just enthusiasm for the paths they choose.

Easter weekend is almost upon us, bringing all the colorful eggs, pretty pastel baskets, Sunday services and family time that come along with it.

To get you ready, we've compiled a short list of some Easter-themed events coming up over the next few days.

Seldom can a match against a county have carried so much potential significance for a visiting Australian touring party as the three-day game against Sussex starting at Hove on Friday. Initially billed primarily as a shootout between squad bowlers to secure a starting place in the third Test against England next week, it now appears anyone who makes a decent score may also find themselves donning the baggy green at Old Trafford.
The reserve wicketkeeper Matthew Wade, who will be standing in for the rested first choice Brad Haddin, certainly believes he has a chance of playing as a specialist batsman in the next Test if he can score runs against Sussex.
"Anyone that puts their hand up in this game has a chance to play in the Test," said Wade. "We saw David Warner got 190 [for Australia A in South Africa] so he has probably put his hand up for a spot, and if any player does that and scores a big hundred here they have a chance as well.
"We all think big hundreds, but it's really nice to see David score that, he's been under a bit of pressure and a few things have gone wrong for him over the last couple of months, so as a team, as the Australian cricket team, we're stoked to see him do what he did. He's set the bar high for the guys over the next few days to try and get a double hundred and beat him."
Wade, who is probably a better batsman than wicketkeeper, may not be a bad shout. In fact, he is the only Australian player other than the captain, Michael Clarke, to have made a Test century this year, against Sri Lanka in Sydney in January.
Warner's explosive 193 against South Africa A in Pretoria on Wednesday means the errant opener looks certain to come straight back into the Test team, but the 26-year-old has confirmed that if so he will bat down the order.
"I've been spoken to by 'Boof' [Australia's coach, Darren Lehmann] and I'll be batting six if I played," Warner told the Sydney Morning Herald. "I'd just like to bat anywhere in the top six. It doesn't matter where I bat, as long as I can score runs for my team and do as much as I can for the team."
With the A game in South Africa scheduled to finish on Saturday, Warner, who was suspended by Cricket Australia after admitting throwing an unprovoked punch at Joe Root in a Birmingham bar, is expected to rejoin the senior Test squad on Sunday.
"Sitting on the sidelines and copping that punishment and not being selected, it was a thing that I needed," he said. "I definitely needed a kick up the bum. It was my own fault, the incident that happened. My job was then to support our players, support the rest of the group and do everything I could to help them prepare for the games. I did that and I know the other guys on the tour did the same thing. We've all been working very hard."
Assuming Warner has done enough to justify a recall, and the cricketing case is compelling, it is likely that either Steve Smith or Phillip Hughes – both of whom are playing against Sussex – will be left out.
Smith, with scores of 53 and 17 at Trent Bridge, and 18 and 1 at Lord's, looks the less vulnerable, not least because his leg-spin bowling may be a factor on what is expected to be a dry Old Trafford pitch. Hughes scored an unbeaten 81 in Australia's first innings at Nottingham, but has since scored 0, 1 and 1. Runs for Ed Cowan, captaining Australia against Sussex in the absence of Clarke, may also earn the left-hander a recall in place of Chris Rogers at the top of the order.
The insistence that spirit in the Australian camp remains good did not seem entirely spurious throughout what was at times an almost jovial net session at Hove.
At one point Wade found himself bowling to Lehmann, who middled enough deliveries to suggest the coach himself should come into consideration. "I reckon I got him out once but it was actually good fun to watch how he went about it, you put fielders in one place and he generally hit it in the other direction," said Wade, with a smile.
The smile became wry when it was pointed out to Wade, who has a batting average of 34.61 from 12 Tests, that great Australian wicketkeepers of the past such as Bert Oldfield (batting average 22), Don Tallon (17) and Wally Grout (15) were nowhere near as proficient with the bat. "The game has changed so much since those times," Wade said, not without a hint of regret.
Teams for the three-day tour match at Hove
Australia: Cowan (capt), Hughes, Khawaja, Smith, Wade, Faulkner, Agar, Turner, Starc, Lyon, Bird.
Sussex: (from) Anyon, Hamilton-Brown, Hatchett, Jackson (wkt), Jordan, Liddle, Machan, Miller, Nash (capt), Panesar, Taylor, Wells, Yardy

Praia do Manuel Lourenço - A rather unspectacular bay with a first-rate restaurant
On the south coast of the Algarve, several kilometres west of the popular holiday resort of Albufeira, lies Praia do Manuel Lourenço beach. It's very easy to get here as the route is well signposted. However, to snag one of the scarce parking spaces you'll need a bit of patience - especially in the height of summer.
The bay is approximately 160 metres long, and the somewhat coarse-grained sandy surface is very small by comparison. The verdant rocks at the back are quite flat and unspectacular compared with many other Algarve beaches. Flat rocky promontories project from the land into the water, creating natural plateaus. The gritty, uneven surface is pleasant to look at, but rather uncomfortable to lie on. It's better to rent one of the loungers, of which there are normally plenty available. There is seaweed in the water, though not a great deal, and once you get a few metres into the water, it's free of natural debris.
This small cove is not one of the popular, well-known and highly frequented holiday bays in the south of Portugal. There are much more spectacular bays nearby. The trade-off, however, is that it is really quiet here. Occasionally large groups of children come here on a trip and then it can get much noisier. Other than that, there is a sound infrastructure and the beach is in fact wheelchair accessible.
A good reason for coming to Praia do Manuel Lourenço beach is to dive with your own equipment and explore the interesting rock formations underwater. Another, probably even better reason is the one and only restaurant. Here, in a laid-back but charming atmosphere, you can enjoy sophisticated, delicious dishes of freshly caught fish. At sunset you can make yourself comfortable with a drink on the terrace of the kiosk linked with the restaurant. If you feel like combining a culinary excursion with some sunbathing and a plunge into cool water, we can thoroughly recommend Praia do Manuel Lourenço beach.

Coffs Harbour has a large population of residents with a Sikh Indian heritage, and as such we have quite a few delicious Indian Restaurants to choose from. Over the years Mr GG and I have developed a strong preference for a Oberois Indian Restaurant. Oberois is a family own business and has been operating for 35 years, initially in Woolgoolga and now on the Jetty strip in Coffs Harbour.
I hate to admit this, but we always have the same two dishes. I get a Lamb Korma and I request for it to be made hot, and hubby orders a Butter Chicken. The rice is complimentary, and we usually add four naan breads and a serve of vegetarian samosa to the order. The meal comes to $51.00, and we are in food heaven.
I would love to vary the dishes but the Lamb Korma is so good I can't give up this dish. I know… it is a sad state of affairs, and yes, I am embarrassed. Especially given Oberois has a great menu and the specials change regularly.
Some time ago I suggested to friends that we should go out for Indian. If I am honest I was hoping to try a few more dishes. That is when we struck a problem. Our friend's favourite Indian Restaurant is the Tandoori Oven, about three restaurants along from Oberois. Like us the owners were long time family friends, and like us, they had their favourite dishes and didn't vary the order.
Needless to say, as yet we haven't sat down to an Indian meal with our friends. Tonight everything changes. We are each ordering our favourite dishes from each restaurant and we will be comparing. Secretly I am hoping to convert our friends to Oberois, so we can share a meal at the restaurant in the future. Although I suspected the other couple may have the same idea.
We will be comparing flavour, cost, and meal size and I am hoping by the end we have a definitive answer. Which restaurant is the best Indian in Coffs Harbour.
The competitive nature of both couples was immediately apparent. I heard Scott taunting Mr GG "our order will be ready faster than yours!" Then to iWife, "you speak to her and we might get a bigger serve". Ahh tactics, something tells me it is going to be a tough contest.
As it turned out both meals were going to be ready at 7.30pm. iWife and I went to collect our orders. The first stop was Oberois, it was busy as usual but the order was ready and waiting as promised. The aroma was killing me, I wondered if anyone would notice a missing samosa?
Next we went to the Tandoori Oven. I have to admit this restaurant has the edge in décor. A recent renovation has it looking modern and inviting. Our meal is ready and waiting so we pay for it and rush home for the sampling. Whilst in the car we compare prices and find the Tandoori Oven was $20 more expensive at $71.00. Further investigation reveals this is due to an additional entree of Tandoori Lamb Cutlets, $14.90 (3 cutlets), so the actual discrepancy in price was only $5.00.
As we unload our purchases it was clear that the Oberois serving sizes were larger. A quick check on the scales showed each of the curry dishes to be 150gm heavier than the Tandoori oven. The nan bread and the samosa were the same weight.
With the technical issues out of the way we were all hungry and ready to dive into dinner. We served ourselves a divided plate of food from the two restaurants and began our tasting.
If I thought the judging was going to be easy I was very much mistaken. iFamily agreed that the Butter Chicken from Oberois was sweeter, but they were a little put off by the smaller pieces of chicken in a large amount of sauce. Hubby loves the sauce, so he is happiest when the chicken is smaller sized and swimming in sauce, allowing him to scoop it up with his naan bread. Both dishes have probably a similar amount of meat and at the end of tasting the dish we are no closer to swaying the vote. The best we could come up on is agreeing that both families would be happy to eat Butter Chicken from either restaurant.
Next was my beloved dish, lamb korma. The two restaurants each put up two completely different dishes by the same name. They were so obviously different that comparison wasn't even possible. My Korma is made on a cream and lemon sauce with ground cashew and has loads of small pieces of meat in a "soupy sauce" which I requested to be hot. Just the way I like it. iFamilies Korma had large pieces of meat in a far thicker yoghurt based curry with fruit, nuts cardamom pods etc. It was a mild curry. The flavours and textures were completely different. I enjoyed both dishes and I would happily order this curry, but it was not the same curry I associate with lamb korma.
There was a clear winner in the naan bread department, and it wasn't ours! The Tandoori Oven's naan were so much nicer, they were light and puffy, garlicy and delicious. Perhaps someone had a bad day at Oberois because ours were not as nice.
So what is the outcome? Ours meal was slightly cheaper and a bigger serving, but the naan bread is amazing from the Tandoori Oven's. I love the flavour of our curries and the vege samosa. BUT, I loved the Tandoori Ovens Tandoori Lamb Cutlet it was amazing. I am told the meat samosa from the Tandoori Oven was "pretty amazing" but I was not quick enough in to verify that one myself. The two Butter Chicken dishes were really similar, but the Korma's were worlds apart. So what is the verdict??
The only conclusion we could come to, is that we were trying to split hairs. It was a delicious meal from both restaurants. We were full and content, we all agreed we would happily eat at either restaurant. There are dishes I am looking forward to trying from the Tandoori Oven and I am going to also extend myself a little at Oberois and try more of their dishes too. I guess I learned I need to broaden my horizons a little. iFamily have come to a similar conclusion.

OUTSTANDING customer service and DELICIOUS food! These two brothers know what they are doing in this business!Reviewed on 10/22/2013 cassidy b
When I was searching for a caterer for our wedding I was looking for a company that stood out and had an edge above the other wedding caterers I've researched and I instantly found it through John Serock Catering. We met with John and he totally was professional, friendly, down... Read More to earth and excited about his company and meeting with us. John spoke about his company philosophy while we sampled their delicious food; we were hooked, we knew right then and there this company was going to caterer our big day! Over the months, we created our menu, talked about logistics of the wedding day, visited our wedding site together and narrowed down every last detail. Our final meet was with both, John and Jay, and they went over again everything about the day to make us feel comfortable and confident. These guys are honestly so easy to work with, fun and you can tell they are passionate about what they do - that truly shines through. Our wedding day was PERFECT! I know that is so cliche so say, but it's true and John Serock Catering was a HUGE part of this!! Our vision actually become our reality! I cannot say enough good things about this company; they truly went above and beyond! The food was fresh and tasty and honestly the best wedding food I have ever had. The staff was EXTRAORDINARY! They were SO attentive, lively and accommodating. So many guests were raving about the experience days after the wedding was over! John and Jay really have a unique company that supports your vision while adding a unique edge to it. We could not be happier with who we've selected - I absolutely recommend them! You will be WOWED!
Serock CateringReviewed on 10/19/2013
My husband and I live out of state, so my mom and sisters chose a caterer for us. We were very happy with their decision to work with John Serock. Everyone at the wedding complimented the delicious food (stations with salmon/steak, pasta, and vegetables). Even our foodie friends... Read More from California were impressed. John has done a lot of weddings and knows the area venues well, which made the day go smoothly. He even stepped in to store our cake for a few hours when a last-minute complication came up the day-of. The servers were quick and professional, and everything looked nice. We also appreciated getting food before the buffet line so that we could eat quickly and then make rounds to tables. The only (minor) negative feedback from us or any of our guests was related to the bartender service; apparently the person mixing drinks didn't know/made mistakes on some of the less common drinks that our guests ordered. This was still a very small criticism, in comparison to all the compliments, and could probably be prevented with better preparation on our part (list of suggested cocktails, etc).
Serock CateringReviewed on 7/18/2013 Alicia C
John and Jay were both great to work with! We have vegans in the family and they came up with a great menu option that wasn't the traditional vegan meal that is so played out. They were also really flexible working with family style catering which really added to the ambiance... Read More that we wanted. They also assigned a staff member to make sure that my husband and I were fully taken care of during the busy day! We kept getting compliments on the delicious food and can't wait to work with them again!
The. Best. Ever. That's all I need to say! The food was unreal, our coordinator amazing, and people are still talking about how it was so good! I would absolutely recommend them to anyone!
Once we went to our tasting and tried the food and met Kristy, we knew that John Serock was going to be our caterer. First - the food was absolutely amazing. From the pasta with shrimp and scallops to the short ribs and cauliflower mash - everyone raved about the food. The... Read More cheese and charcuterie board at cocktail hour was also a hit with all of our wedding guests. I didn't get to each much of it, but Kristy placed a small plate of cheese at our sweet heart table for me since she knew my love of cheese! Which leads me to Kristy - absolutely amazing!! I am the bride who asks way too many questions and Kristy answered every single one of them without hesitation. She was super helpful when I asked for suggestions. On the wedding night, she was there every step of the way making sure we were eating, drinking, having fun, etc. She was truly great to work with and we knew we were in good hands from the moment we met her. Also, the wait staff were very professional and really nice and fun. We are so happy with our choice of John Serock Catering. We would recommend them to anyone looking for a wedding caterer with good food and really great employees.
If there's one vendor who was most responsible for my wedding being as perfect as it was, it was John Serock Catering, and specifically our coordinator, Kristy. As the first of my friends to get married, I had no idea what kind of things to watch out for, and I might have... Read More hired a planner if we had the money, but once I met with Kristy I didn't feel the need to. She was such an incredible wealth of of knowledge and experience, always willing to answer my questions, and generally was able to fill in the gap between my expertise and the level of expertise required to plan the perfect wedding. She thought of everything and was always several steps ahead of me, both during the planning and at the wedding. The food was delicious. I had one guest (who is a huge food snob actually) say it was the best catered meal he ever had (and he's had very many). Of course we had so much fun picking out our menu, and it really felt like we were able to express ourselves with our selections. One of the best things about the day was that we actually got to eat our food! From the cocktail hour through the seated dinner and buffet dessert, I don't think we missed anything. They assigned a couple of folks to come and check on myself and the groom throughout the day, and bring us food and drinks, so we were thrilled that we avoided the trope of not getting to eat your own wedding food. Kristy orchestrated the timing of the meal and toasts to ensure we even had a few minutes to sit and eat our main course, which was just so nice and very appreciated. All in all, my wedding came off more perfectly than I could have anticipated, and absolutely NOTHING went wrong. (My MOH confirmed this, actually--there wasn't even anything they kept from us while they dealt with it.) I credit Kristy and the catering team with this feat--they really were THAT thorough and prepared. And although it was the most expensive part of the wedding by far, it was worth every penny to have it go so smoothly. THANK YOU to Kristy and the rest of the team for such an incredible job!
We cannot begin to explain just how pleased we were with the services for our wedding from John Serock. From the start, John and his team were responsive, attentive, organized, and professional! John worked with us to stay within budget, and to design a menu (food and drinks)... Read More that suited our needs. We knew from our tasting that our guests were in for a treat, but come wedding day, we were blown away! Our guests are still raving about the food, stating it was the best meal they've ever eaten at a wedding (coming from two, large, Irish and Italian families, this is a TRUE compliment!). To top it off, the dinner, bar, and wait staff were superb, catering to our every need. John even came out to check with us to make sure everything was to our liking! We will be recommending John Serock Catering to all our family and friends!
If we did one thing right with our wedding, it was hiring Serock Catering. When we chose Serock, we knew that we selected a quality caterer, but Cassidy and the team exceeded our every expectation, from communicating closely with us on special menu options for guests with... Read More dietary needs to helping us design the layout of the room to courteous service on the night of the event. Most importantly, the food was delicious: our guests came up to us throughout the evening to compliment us on the delicious chicken, beef and vegetarian options. We'll leave with this one anecdote: when our liquor ran dry early in the evening, Cassidy sent a server to the store with her personal debit card to make sure that our guests had drinks. That's the kind of attention to detail and care you'll get when you choose Serock for the most important day of your life, and we're grateful we got it.
It has been three weeks since we've been married and we can't thank Serock Catering enough for making our day deliciously perfect! Everything from the beautiful cocktail hour and exceptional service (we had a plate of apps and a drink before we even stepped foot into the gardens... Read More for cocktail hour thanks to the lovely Kristy!, not to mention her great detective work in busseling my gown) We knew that our foodie guests as well as everyone else would be amazed by the great food and they were! We got so many raves about the braised short rib as well as the salmon we were served during dinner! Thanks to Serock we were able to bring amazing high quality food and service to a beautiful venue in Lancaster, PA and had the time of our lives without worrying about a thing! Kristy and John were understanding of various dietary needs throughout our guests and catered to every need and desire we possibly had and then some. Everything was flawless and without Kristy's managing skills my husband and mother in law and I would have gone mad with stress and aggravation! None of that here, just a happily married bride with nothing but great things to say about Serock! Use them for your big day, you will not be disappointed and neither will your guests when they get to eat fun delicious food that is anything but your "typical" wedding food! Cheers!
My husband and I really felt like we hit the jackpot with John Serock Catering. We feel so fortunate to have been able to work with Cassidy with Serock for our wedding day on September 23, 2016. You may find amazing food at many catering companies across the Philadelphia region,... Read More but Serock adds an unparalleled commitment to customer service. From the moment we walked into their West Chester office for a tasting, we were greeted so warmly and quickly bonded with Cassidy. Throughout a year of getting to know Cassidy, it felt like we were working with a close friend for our wedding day. She was the go-to person for all of our vendors during our wedding day. She ran the show. And my wedding guests noticed! They asked me, "Who was the blonde woman at your wedding? She looked so calm and organized!" And that's an understatement. Cassidy is so attentive and doesn't limit her role to "caterer". She found me in the bridal suite before the ceremony and asked how she could help. She instantly began helping set up decor. As for the food on our wedding day, everything was such a hit, from the passed appetizers to the entrees to the grilled cheese station at the end of the night! Our guests couldn't stop telling us how good the food was. As bride and groom, we were treated like royalty by our personal server. We never had an empty glass or had to look far if we needed her. We know without a doubt that our wedding day would not have been anywhere near the same without the service of Cassidy and the team at Serock. Thank you so much for making our day!!!
John Serock Catering provided exceptional service at our wedding at The Washington at Historic Yellow Springs. From fixing my cake, to anticipated a crazy fluke of a heatwave, their service was fabulous. Numerous guests came up to me to comment on how the meal was the best they... Read More have ever had at a wedding. We could not have been happier! Thank you Cassidy and John Serock Catering for helping make our wedding an amazing one!
My husband and I recommend John Serock Catering with the highest review! The staff was incredibly friendly, hard working and meticulous to detail. This is a business that will most likely exceed your expectations... our wedding reception was fantastic as result of our investment... Read More with John Serock! Our guests raved about the delicious food and impressive delivery of service.... we are so happy to have worked with them and would hire them again in a heartbeat! This is a crew that you can trust to host an incredible event with delicious food you will continue to crave :)
We chose Serock Catering for our 8/6/16 wedding in Philadelphia, and we couldn't be happier with their work! We dealt with Kristy as our main point person. Throughout the wedding planning process, Kristy was only an email away. She responded quickly and thoroughly to any email... Read More we sent. She had every detail of our wedding covered and was so positive throughout the entire process. The team did a wonderful job setting up the venue, making sure all of our personal details were included. The food itself was fantastic! We received so many compliments from guests saying that it was the best meal they had ever eaten at a wedding! Overall, we are absolutely thrilled with the level of service that Serock Catering provided. We would 100% recommend them to any future brides out there!
Now that things have settled down and we have been looking over our photos all I can say is wow. My wife and I had an amazing wedding day. Aside from the weather cooperating we'd have to say John and his team were the biggest reason our day was so special. From the tasting... Read More dinner months before to the clean up after the reception John was there for every moment. Even when we had a few hiccups with our transportation John didn't skip a beat. He orchestrated our entire event beyond what anyone could normally expect from a caterer. Serock catering provided seating chart planning, contact with our dj, guitarist, transportation and much more. They left no detail unchecked. They servers were incredibly attentive and professional as well. Likable people working for a great company. We just felt like we were in good hands and with how stressful weddings can be, that feeling is invaluable. The food was as advertised as well. We didn't get a simplified version of what we had at our tasting. The cowboy steak was a huge hit as well as the crab cakes and antipasti display. I only wish we had more time to eat! What a great night and what a fantastic job Serock catering did. It's nice to know that any future event I have I won't have to shop for a caterer. Serock Catering is it.
We had Serock Catering at our wedding at Brandywine Manor House, and it was fantastic. The staff--led by the cool-as-a-cucumber Kristy Arnold-- were all great. They were on point, efficient, and barely noticeable during our reception. (Example: two minutes after we did our... Read More ceremony, a staff member was down there taking the bride's and groom's orders for cocktail hour, then walking them down to us.) The food is outstanding. You can request anything, and they will do it. We had some modified, Chinese-inspired food on the menu and a vegetarian option. We met John Serock himself at the tasting, and he makes the impression of a friendly, experienced, and creative professional. Clearly he leads a group of excellent chefs. Since most of our interactions were with Kristy over phone and email, I can speak to her abilities the most. We planned our wedding long-distance, and somehow everything came together for the big day. It wasn't just the food or the service, either; Kristy made sure we had all the details in place several days beforehand so that she could coordinate all the important segments of the day: from when guests entered, to the ceremony, to the cocktail hour, to every step of the reception (first dance, appetizer/entree, speeches, cake cutting, etc.) With Kristy in charge, things ran like a well-rehearsed dance. In other words, you're not just getting great food and great service. With Serock Catering, you're getting top-notch event planning, too. Oh, and I think it goes without saying: the guests raved, and continue to rave, about the food at our wedding!
LOVE LOVE LOVE John Serock catering. My brother used them for their wedding and my husband and I used them for ours. We got to experience both sides as a guest and as bride and groom! Their food is just so good. We got so many compliments about the food and never heard one bad... Read More thing. Working with them is so easy and comforting. All of the people John serock hires are super attentive and friendly. At my wedding I was waiting by the kitchen to herd up all of my bridal party for pictures and John serock heard me there and comes out with an amazing cheesesteak egg roll to hold me over until dinner! So sweet. We loved how they set up all of your tables and take down all of it and pack all gifts and liquor into your car. It makes leaving so easy! I have nothing bad to say about this company. I will recommend them to everyone!!
My husband and I were lucky enough to work with such fantastic vendors for our wedding! Among the standouts, John Serock Catering. We were married at The Washington at Historic Yellow Springs and once the venue had been decided upon, we went to work working through the list of... Read More preferred caters. For many, a standard form email was sent back - totally understandable but not the kind of experience we were hoping to have. And then, came Cassie's email. WOW. I received the most genuine and personal email from Cassie. Not only was she wonderful, professional and quick to respond - she had gotten married at The Washington, used Serock Catering and loved them so much, she now worked for them. Match made in heaven! The food was phenomenal. Our guests still rave about it. More than the food, was the service. We have heard no shortage of praise for the wonderful and attentive servers. From the lovely woman that followed my husband and I around a field during our pictures with hors d'oeurves and drinks, to the attentive servers who cleared the tables quickly and efficiently and ensured our guest were tended to and never in need of anything. We cannot sing their praises enough. One of the best parts of working with them? Getting to know and staying in touch with Cassie. She is a dream. She will make your day her priority even though you will be just one of many on her very filled plate. It was everything my husband and I had been hoping to find. Thank you guys for making our day perfection!
The best!Reviewed on 1/14/2016
John Serock is the best - no need to look further. John and his team were great to work with, but more importantly, the food was fantastic, delicious, superb. We were married in June 2015, and people are still discussing the food and the lovely Hor's D presentation!... Read More Perfection! The only thing...I either need the recipes OR John needs to open a restaurant. I dream of the short ribs and would like to eat them more often!! Susanne and Jay
From our first tasting through our wedding day, John Serock was attentive and perfect every step of the way. The only thing I had no concerns about for my wedding day was the catering! They customized our menu to our unique requests (Philadelphia vs. Boston food table) and... Read More made sure everything ran smoothly. Even our tough to please guests raved about the food. John worked with all of our vendors to make sure that our last minute rain plan went off without a hitch. We cannot say enough wonderful things about John Serock catering. You would be making a mistake if you do not hire them. Thank you , John and staff!
INCREDIBLE caterer!! Thank you John Serock for an amazing wedding experience! The food was very important to my family and me at my wedding, and Serock catering did not disappoint!! They were able to help modify their menu to fit our needs, they were accommodating, and even... Read More added an entree that we did not see on the menu! We worked very closely with Cassidy, who I highly recommend working with!! Cassidy was very patient, kind, and efficient with responding to all of my emails, changing the menu, and being hands on throughout the entire wedding process! The food was fabulous and we received so many compliments the entire night, and even weeks after the wedding! Instead of passed hors d'oeuvres during the cocktail hour, we opted for a full antipasta and charcuterie display, which was so incredible! It was delicious and the display looked great! The staff also was very available the whole night, and we had someone who was checking in with me throughout to make sure everything was running smoothly. At the end of the night, they helped us to clean up all of the tables and decorations I had in the reception room, my only limitation was the way they re-packed all of my decorations and "stuff", as some of it was stuffed into boxes and ruined, even though we had offered to help with clean up. It was very nice however to step away and not have to worry about a single thing up through the last minute of my night. I highly highly recommend John Serock Catering for your wedding, and would try to work with Cassidy if possible, as she made our experience flawless, easy, and fun!
AMAZING!!!! John Serock was our caterer for our wedding on September 12th 2015 at Grey Stonehall. His food, service, attention to detail, and ability to put the bride and groom at ease were all top notch. I would HIGHLY recommend him.
John Serock is the best!Reviewed on 10/09/2015 Megan W
We chose John Serock from a list of preferred vendors for the Brandywine Manor house. We had met with about 5 other vendors prior to meeting John and we were not overly impressed by any of them. As soon as we met with John we knew we wanted him to be our caterer! The food was... Read More delicious and we could tell that John was experienced, smart and passionate about what he does. We signed with him on the spot! He did not disappoint and on our wedding day we could not have been more happy with how everything turned out. John and his team worked seamlessly with the other vendors and were so helpful in keeping everything on track with the timeline throughout the evening. The food was amazing and we had so many compliments from guests on how great everything was! I would definitely recommend John Serock Catering to anyone looking for a caterer!
Many caterers offer similar packages and you get what you pay for. However, we chose Serock catering for our wedding because of the personal touch that John provides. We could tell he eats, breaths, and sleeps wedding catering. He always personally met with us and responded... Read More promptly to any questions or concerns we had. John was also very flexible and accommodating with any requests. We were also impressed by the amount of staff John brought to our wedding. Everywhere we looked his staff was running around making sure everyone was taken care of without being intrusive. He makes it a point to get everyone food in a timely fashion, which I think they did very well even though we had 180 guests. The staff was very friendly and professional. It goes without saying that the food was also incredible. We heard many of our guests tell us how much they enjoyed their dinner. In addition to all the great food and service, John and his staff did an awesome job setting up at our venue, Appleford. Countless guests commented on how awesome it was to have a bar out in the courtyard garden for cocktail hour. They also made great use of the rooms inside the house and did a wonderful job placing our centerpieces. They made our vision come to life, and we wouldn't have changed a thing. We feel lucky to have found a caterer that made the process simple and stress free with results that had our guests saying wow!
Madden-Kline Wedding @ SandCastle WineryReviewed on 11/01/2013 Abbey M
Hiring John Serock catering was the best choice we could have made for our wedding. We met John at a Bridal Show and immeditately felt comfortable with him as we were just getting used to the whole "wedding process". John was a pleasure to work with from enjoyable meetings,... Read More great email communications, and all the way up to the last moment of our reception. The majority of our guests commented on the food being fantastic and some saying the best food they have ever had at a wedding! We had many guests requesting business cards at the reception, and others who contacted me after for his information. We were also extremely impressed with how friendly, fun, and organized the staff was and how well John and his team were able to help in walking us through the process. We will absolutely hire John and his team in the future for other catered events and we reccomend hiring for your wedding!!
Food was exceptional, the staff was the ultimate in professionalism, and we had FUN!Reviewed on 10/24/2013
As parents of the groom, we were truly impressed with the entire presentation by this caterer. The food was top quality and delicious, and the drinks were served with aplomb and cheer. In fact, everyone on the staff that we met, surpassed our expectations. At the beginning of... Read More the reception, there was a glitch in number of people and an extra person showed up. With a little finagling, my husband and I got this person seated at our table, which left us w/o seats. Seeking assistance from Nina, one of the most professional servers ever, we went off to be introduced into the reception with the rest of the wedding party. By the time we walked back in and found Nina, she had two place setting for us, as well as salads and water. It was so smoothly executed that our "extra" guest never realized she created a "challenge". Very impressive, indeed! All in all, we enjoyed ourselves thoroughly, and received a multitude of compliments from guests on the entire reception: food, drinks, and service. John and Nancy Thank you John Serock Catering for a memorable time!

The latest sigma study by Swiss Re has revealed that non-life premiums expanded 1.9 percent during 2011, despite overall premiums declining 0.8 percent.
Swiss Re attributes the growth in non-life premiums to solid economic growth in emerging markets and selective rate increases in some advanced markets.
"Non-life premium growth in the advanced markets has been supported by gradual rate increases in personal lines of business and in regions affected by large natural catastrophes," said Daniel Staib, one of the authors of the study.
"Despite the adverse environment in 2011, non-life insurers' capital position remained sound, putting the industry in a strong position to grow steadily in the future."

According to report, Khloe Kardashian is no more in a relationship with James Harden.
According to US Weekly, "She dumped him weeks ago,". In January, James was spotted with Tyga at a strip club, and Khloe took to Instagram to share a cryptic message and it reads,
"Stay away from people who make you feel like you are hard to love.""Everything happens for a reason… Right?! I'm a firm believer of this saying. We may not understand why we have to walk a certain path or why when it rains, it pours but trust that God has a plan. 'Walk by faith, not by sight.' We must lose in order to gain. Lessons are best taught through our darkest hour. Through crying and defeat. Through sorrow and loss. All of my pain or sadness has only built my strength, soul, character and wisdom. One day, all of our trials and tribulations will add up and make perfect sense. Until that day comes, learn to laugh at confusion and dance in the rain. 'The pain that you have been feeling, can't compare to the joy that's coming.' Romans 8:18."

The whole of Seemanadhra is burning from the last 30 days ever since Congress party has decided to bifurcate Andhra Pradesh. With protests and rallies, both coastal Andhra and Rayalaseema are witnessing a complete shutdown. The fever has hit social networking sites too, particularly Facebook at large.
'Welcome to Customer Care. If you want Andhra, press two. For Rayalaseema, press two. For Telangana, press three. If you want Samaikyandhra, press Sonia's neck'. This is one of the joke that is going viral on Facebook walls at the moment. Not just likes and shares, but people are debating a lot on such posts. People are accusing Sonia, KCR and Seemandhra Ministers for the happenings and are making huge fun of them on web.
A satire reads, 'Politicians are building foundation for their future with stones thrown by Samaikyandhra agitators'. This is a popular slogan being shot on twitter. Also Seemandhra and Telangana people are targeting movies of heroes those who doesn't respond to the ongoing United-AP agitation. Morphed pictures of ministers like Kavuri, Chiru and Digvijay as women are also turning up on Facebook.
Everything will be fine as long as none takes such posts offensive. But if feelings of any section gets hurt with such posts and pictures, then the one posted will be facing legal action too. So, be careful before taking up your protests on social network.

In fact, motor vehicle crashes are the number one killer of children in the U.S. (Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20110321/CL67889LOGO ) That's why AAA Michigan, part of The Auto Club Group, partnered with the DMC Children's Hospital of Michigan for the second annual free child safety seat inspection event today ( Sept. 21) at the AAA Michigan Headquarters parking lot in Dearborn. More than 50 certified child passenger safety technicians were on hand to inspect seats for proper installation, provide information to parents on how to select the right seats and ensure that currently installed seats have not been recalled. The free inspections were offered to any parents who brought their children – and their current safety seats – with their vehicles. Seats which did not pass inspection were prepared for recycling. "We are pleased to host today's event to help to keep our young passengers safe in vehicles," said AAA Michigan President Steve Wagner. "Today is National Seat Check Saturday – that's why we chose this day to offer this valuable assistance to families and their young children. Today's program continues our nearly century of traffic safety service. " Wagner noted that estimates indicate that the number of deaths and injuries of children improperly restrained in safety seats in vehicles could be reduced by half if every child passenger was properly restrained. On behalf of AAA Michigan, at the event Wagner presented a $10,000 grant to Children's Hospital of Michigan Foundation to support the Child Passenger Safety Program at DMC Children's Hospital of Michigan. On hand to accept the check were Dr. Tonya Touchstone, Associate Vice President of Medical Affairs, Children's Hospital of Michigan, and Tony Werner, President and CEO, Children's Hospital of Michigan Foundation. "This grant will enhance our ongoing efforts to help keep children safer in vehicles," said Dr. Touchstone. "We appreciate working with partners like AAA Michigan."

No Fear
Alright now who do you think you would just DOMINATE if anybody and why??
Danny abbaddi he is a bad tkd practioner and stinks at mma....I would tackle him and GnP
I agree, I wouldn't even tackle him, I'd just beat his face to a pulp. :thumbsup:
I can beat down Fedor easily.
Oh of course, he's just a big wimp. :thumbsdown: lmao.
No doubt all of them would be fun to fight, be a good first fight to get you pumped up and warmed up.
Mark Laimon.....oh wait hes not a fighter thats right I forgot he just THINKS he is LOL.....Id love to take him down and put my elbows right through his face.....also, I'm pretty sure I can take Abbadi, and that Japanese guy that Nick Diaz KTFO'd at UFC 53.....Kogi or Koji Oishi, whatever his name was, but I think I butchered that lol, but yes him too
Koji Oishi isn't that bad, hes a decent wrestler.
And Fedor Emelianenko? I want whatever your taking...
The person who I don't fear and would manhandle are:
Mark Laimon (loser who doesn't fight and talks smack)
Danny Abaddi (if hes an 'ultimate fighter' I'm a champion)
John Rafferty
Jason Thacker
Basically there are a lot from Ultimate Fighter, I should may as well try out for the show.
Yeah he didnt do to well against Diaz , he was just plain stupid thinking that he would do well fighting like that. But he is decent fighter with a pretty good record, ive seen a few fights with him and the Diaz fight is not how he usually fights. He just tried something new and stupid

Mark Cavendish's miserable Tour Down Under continued today after Australian police mistakenly reopened the route to traffic before he had finished stage three of the race.
The Isle of Man sprinter, who has won 15 stages on the Tour de France, took to the 129-kilometre course between Unley and Stirling still sporting cuts and bruises from a crash on Wednesday, and was so far back on Thursday's stage that police escorting the last three riders reopened the route, forcing Cavendish to dodge cars before finishing the race in 130th place, leaving him 131st and last overall.
A statement from race organisers read: "During the Colemans Group Stage 3 of the Santos Tour Down Under the green light vehicle, which signals all riders have completed the race, moved ahead of the trailing three riders."
Hitaf Rasheed, the general manager of Events South Australia said tour organisers had met with the South Australian Police "and have been advised that a decision was made regarding the green light vehicle in the interest of safety".
Rasheed continued: "The green light vehicle will continue to signal the end of the race and follow the last rider across the finish line."
Australian Matt Goss, a team-mate of Cavendish at HTC Highroad, reclaimed the leader's jersey after placing third on stage three.
Goss, who along with the rest of his team wore black armbands in memory of rider Carla Swart who was killed in a training accident recently, finished behind compatriot Michael Matthews and defending champion Andre Greipel, but regained the overall lead from another Australian, Robbie McEwen.
Team Sky rider Ben Swift, who won the second stage of the race, is four seconds behind Goss in the overall standings while team-mate Simon Gerrans was Sky's best performer of the day with a fourth-place finish in Stirling.Reuse content

Colleges' sports success is
not a major draw for applicants
By Mary
Beth Marklein, USA TODAY
to Discussion Questions
high school students rank the quality of a college's sports
teams far down the list of what they consider when deciding
where to apply, says a new poll.
The study
"refutes the so-called 'Flutie Factor,' (which holds
that) intercollegiate athletics and winning teams have a major
impact on . . . enrollment decisions," says Rick Hesel,
who did the poll by Art & Science Group of Baltimore.
Widely known in admissions circles, the Flutie Factor refers
to a surge in applications to Boston College after its quarterback,
Doug Flutie, made his fabled touchdown pass to beat Miami
in 1984. Applications rose 30% in two years.
said students rated jobs, internships, clubs and community
service as more important extracurricular interests. The findings
are based on telephone interviews with 500 college-bound high
school students last spring -- just after the men's national
basketball championship tournament. Most respondents could
not even recall which team won, Hesel said. (Michigan State
University admission director Gordon Stanley doesn't doubt
those findings. But he says winning the men's basketball championship
last spring made a "significant difference" in the
fall 2000 acceptance rate -- boosting it from a historically
stable 40% to 43%.) The
poll, to be published later this month, comes at a time when
intercollegiate athletics programs are growing more prominent
-- and more controversial:
for reform aren't new. But recent research is poking holes
in a long-held theory among supporters of intercollegiate
athletics that winning teams benefit student recruitment and
alumni giving, Hesel said. In addition to his poll, a new
book, The Game of Life: College Sports and Educational Values
(Princeton University Press, $27.95), offers evidence that
winning teams, especially football teams, have little, if
any, impact on rates of philanthropic giving by alumni. "One
of the big justifications (for intercollegiate sports) is,
'We gotta do this because alumni are demanding it,' "
says Game of Life co-author James Shulman. But the data suggest
"that's not true."

No composer has inspired more inaccurate, stereotypical reactions than Wagner, and it is the triumph of Simon Callow's one-man show Inside Wagner's Head that he is able to illumine both the man and the work in all their bewildering complexity. Without attempting to conceal Wagner's less savoury characteristics — the self-centredness and virulent anti-Semitism among them — he shows how such psychological flaws are actually integral to the Wagner phenomenon.
Reminding us that Wagner flaunted his Saxon dialect even when consorting with kings, Callow adopts an accent reminiscent of a Yorkshire pig-farmer when entering Wagner's character. The effect is shocking but salutary: earthy roots and coarse humour were part of the package.
Callow, who has written his own script, has done his homework: this witty, chronological, impassioned romp through Wagner's life and career is impressively accurate, with just a handful of incidents where poetic licence reigns over historical fact. It's not, for example, true that Hans von Bülow was ignorant of his wife Cosima's affair with Wagner while conducting the premiere of Tristan in 1865. Nor is it likely that the interruption of work on the Ring in 1857 was caused by the discovery of Schopenhauer, when the two events were three years apart; more probably it was the perceived need for a marketable success.
But time and again Callow pithily hits the mark: on the notorious anti-Semitism; on the fundamental principle of art at the centre of society; and on the interplay of "the sublime and the grotesque", the "monstrous contradictions", in art as in life.
Props are imaginatively used — the stage resembles a curiosity shop — as are visuals, sound and lighting (director: Simon Stokes). The mix of passion and exasperation makes Callow's portrait both highly engaging and rewarding.

Developing Large-Scale Outlier Application with Spark Core
As I have already mentioned that the details of the attributes found in WDBC dataset: ID number, Diagnosis (M = malignant, B = benign) and ten real-valued features are computed for each cell nucleus: Radius, Texture, Perimeter, Area, Smoothness, Compactness, Concavity, Concave points, Symmetry and Fractal dimension [ 6 ]. For the dataset description in detail, please refer the first part of this title here.
These features are computed from a digitized image of a fine needle aspirate (FNA) of a breast mass. They describe characteristics of the cell nuclei present in the corresponding images. Well, we have enough knowing about the dataset up to this point, I believe.
Now, I will show how to develop a breast cancer diagnosis outlier pipeline step by step. Please note that I have used Spark 2.0.0 using Java for the demonstration. Some conceptual ideas have been referred from [ 7 ] and re-implemented with Spark 2.0.0 . The complete source code including the Maven friendly pom.xml file and the dataset can be downloaded from my GitHub repositories here.
Step-1: Import necessary packages/libraries/APIs
import java.util.ArrayList; import java.util.Iterator; import java.util.List; import java.util.Map; import org.apache.spark.api.java.JavaPairRDD; import org.apache.spark.api.java.function.Function2; import org.apache.spark.api.java.function.PairFlatMapFunction; import org.apache.spark.api.java.function.PairFunction; import org.apache.spark.rdd.RDD; import org.apache.spark.sql.SparkSession; import com.example.SparkSession.UtilityForSparkSession; import scala.Tuple2;
Step-2: Create the Spark entry point by a Spark session
SparkSession spark = UtilityForSparkSession.mySession();
Here is the UtilityForSparkSession class that creates and returns a Spark session:
import org.apache.spark.sql.SparkSession; public class UtilityForSparkSession { public static SparkSession mySession() { SparkSession spark = SparkSession.builder() .appName("UtilityForSparkSession") .master("local[*]") //You might want to set your driver IP:PORT acordingly .config("spark.sql.warehouse.dir", "E:/Exp/") //set your warehouse accordingly. .getOrCreate(); return spark; } }
Step-3: create the first RDD by reading input
Please note that the Spark Context initiated with Spark session does not allow JavaRDD to be created but only the RDD of String. However, don't worry, I will convert the same RDD as JavaRDD when required.
Here the number of partition is 1. You should increase/decrease the number accordingly based on your dataset size or memory/disk capacity.
final String inputPath = "breastcancer/input/wdbc.data"; //Input path RDD<String> lines_of_patient_records = spark.sparkContext().textFile(inputPath, 1); lines_of_patient_records.cache(); // Cache it if you have enough memory space; since, we will be using the same in next few steps
Step-4: Perform the flatMapToPair() to create the lines_of_patient_records RDD
JavaPairRDD<String,Integer> patient = lines_of_patient_records.toJavaRDD().flatMapToPair(new PairFlatMapFunction<String, String, Integer>() { @Override public Iterator<Tuple2<String,Integer>> call(String row) { //For each line as variable 'row' List<Tuple2<String,Integer>> results = new ArrayList<Tuple2<String,Integer>>(); // As shown in above figure, a record has the following format: <Patient-id><,><feature_point1><,><feature_point2><,><feature_point3><,>... String[] tokens = row.split(","); //i.e. features for (int i = 1; i < tokens.length; i++) { //Except the first entry i.e. Patient-ID results.add(new Tuple2<String,Integer>(tokens[i], 1)); } return results.iterator(); } });
/* Sample output should be like this (against 1 record i.e. 1 line): (M,1) (17.99,1) (10.38,1) (122.8,1) (1001,1) (0.1184,1) (0.2776,1) (0.3001,1) (0.1471,1) (0.2419,1) (0.07871,1) (1.095,1) (0.9053,1) (8.589,1) (153.4,1) (0.006399,1) (0.04904,1) (0.05373,1) (0.01587,1) (0.03003,1) (0.006193,1) (25.38,1) (17.33,1) (184.6,1) (2019,1) (0.1622,1) (0.6656,1) (0.7119,1) (0.2654,1) (0.4601,1) (0.1189,1) */
Step-5: Count the frequency of the categorical data
Now, we need to count the frequency of all the feature-point including the label of course. However, we need to keep the categorical data or features as String [ 7 ]. Since the population contains both the numerics as well as characters data.
JavaPairRDD<String, Integer> count_frequency_by_reducebykey = patient.reduceByKey(new Function2<Integer, Integer, Integer>() { @Override public Integer call(Integer i1, Integer i2) { return i1 + i2; } });
Now you might be interested in saving the RDD on HDFS or your local file system using:
If you read the above text file, the RDD should contain the following values:
/* * This should produced the output as: (M,212) (17.99,2) (10.38,1) ..... (0.2776,2) .... (0.1189,2) * */
Step-6: Prepare a buffer Map for storing the Attribute Value Frequency (AVF) scores
Make sure that you have not used the HashMap, otherwise, you will miss the duplicated entries. Rather use a normal map with String and Integer so that it can hold (key, value) pair => (feature, frequency).
final Map<String, Integer> AVPMap = count_frequency_by_reducebykey.collectAsMap();
Step-7: compute the AVF Scores using the buffer map (i.e. AVFMap)
Here , according to [7], for each input record of: <Patient-ID><,><feature_point1><,><feature_point2><,><feature_point3><,>.... The PairFunction<T, K, V> T => Tuple2<K, V>: T = input record (i.e. line), K = Patient-ID, V = AVF score.
JavaPairRDD<String,Double> AVF = lines_of_patient_records.toJavaRDD().mapToPair(new PairFunction<String, String, Double>() { @Override public Tuple2<String,Double> call(String rec) { String[] tokens = rec.split(","); String recordID = tokens[0]; //Patient ID who is getting diagnosed int sum = 0; for (int i = 1; i < tokens.length; i++) { sum += AVPMap.get(tokens[i]); } double N = (double) (tokens.length -1); //We are excluding the first entry i.e. patientID double AVFScore = ((double) sum) / N; return new Tuple2<String,Double>(recordID, AVFScore); } });
Step-8: Compute the lowest K AVF scores in descending order
The build in Java takeOrdered() method takes two parameters: K and a comparator instance that returns the first K (smallest) elements from this RDD using the natural ordering for T while maintaining the order [7].
class TupleComparatorDescending implements Comparator<Tuple2<String,Double>>, Serializable { final static TupleComparatorDescending INSTANCE = new TupleComparatorDescending(); @Override public int compare(Tuple2<String,Double> t1, Tuple2<String,Double> t2) { return -(t1._2.compareTo(t2._2)); // sort based on AVF Score in descending order } }
The TupleComparatorAscending class will be described at the end of step 10. The above code segment should print the following value for K = 30:
Output: => (PaitentID, AVF score) Descending AVF Score Outliers: (871642,28.225806451612904) (923748,28.096774193548388) (903483,28.032258064516128) (872113,28.0) (862722,27.967741935483872) (875099,27.967741935483872) (925236,27.903225806451612) (894047,27.903225806451612) (868999,27.870967741935484) (925311,27.870967741935484) (921092,27.838709677419356) (92751,27.806451612903224) (9113846,27.64516129032258) (91544002,14.096774193548388) (865432,13.935483870967742) (863031,13.870967741935484) (917062,13.838709677419354) (8912284,13.806451612903226) (897880,13.774193548387096) (905502,13.774193548387096) (9113239,13.774193548387096) (891716,13.774193548387096) (912519,13.774193548387096) (918192,13.774193548387096) (874839,13.741935483870968) (86973702,13.741935483870968) (9113455,13.741935483870968) (903011,13.741935483870968) (911384,13.709677419354838) (869931,13.709677419354838)
If you analyse the above output, you will see that the AVF scores fall in 4 clusters (i.e. 28, 27, 14 and 13). It is also clearly seen that Patient-ID 91544002 falls in the cluster 14 which is a minority cluster. Therefore, it can be referred as an outlier. This also signifies that there might have some chances of breast cancer based on the data.
Step-9: Compute the lowest K AVF scores in ascending order
The below code segments prints the lowest K AVF scores in an ascending order for K =30.
List<Tuple2<String,Double>> outliers = AVF.takeOrdered(K, TupleComparatorAscending.INSTANCE); System.out.println("Ascending AVF Score"); System.out.println("Outliers: "); for(Iterator<Tuple2<String, Double>> it = outliers.iterator(); it.hasNext();) { System.out.println(it.next()); }
The above code segment should print the AVF scores as follows:
Output: => (PaitentID, AVF score) Ascending AVF Score Outliers: (854002,8.129032258064516) (926954,8.225806451612904) (905680,8.258064516129032) (916799,8.290322580645162) (873592,8.32258064516129) (877486,8.32258064516129) (901088,8.32258064516129) (852552,8.35483870967742) (854253,8.35483870967742) (877989,8.387096774193548) (911296202,8.387096774193548) (9113538,8.387096774193548) (85382601,8.387096774193548) (88299702,8.387096774193548) (913535,8.387096774193548) (879523,8.387096774193548) (884948,8.387096774193548) (889719,8.387096774193548) (8911163,8.387096774193548) (845636,8.419354838709678) (888570,8.419354838709678) (8610404,8.419354838709678) (89742801,8.419354838709678) (842517,8.419354838709678) (85638502,8.419354838709678) (927241,8.419354838709678) (881046502,8.451612903225806) (88119002,8.451612903225806) (855625,8.451612903225806) (8953902,8.451612903225806)
Step-10: Stop the Spark session
Stop the Spark session when all the computations have been completed by calling the stop() method as follows:
Auxiliary Classes
As mentioned earlier, the following two classes - i.e. TupleComparatorAscending and TupleComparatorDescending are shown below which is re-used from [ 7 ]. I would like to thank Mr. Mahmoud Parsian for making the source code available from an excellent book title "Data Algorithm: Recipes for Scaling Up with Hadoop and Spark, O'Reilly Media, 2015".
The TupleComparatorDescending Class
This class sorts based on the AVF Score in a descending order.
class TupleComparatorDescending implements Comparator<Tuple2<String,Double>>, Serializable { final static TupleComparatorDescending INSTANCE = new TupleComparatorDescending(); @Override public int compare(Tuple2<String,Double> t1, Tuple2<String,Double> t2) { return -(t1._2.compareTo(t2._2)); // sort based on AVF Score in a descending order } }
The TupleComparatorAscending class
This class sorts based on the AVF Score in an ascending order.
class TupleComparatorAscending implements Comparator<Tuple2<String,Double>>, Serializable { final static TupleComparatorAscending INSTANCE = new TupleComparatorAscending(); @Override public int compare(Tuple2<String,Double> t1,Tuple2<String,Double> t2) { return (t1._2.compareTo(t2._2)); // sort based on AVF Score } }
The complete source codes including the Maven friendly pom.xml and the dataset is available on my GitHub repositories here.
The outlier detection method that I have shown can be extended and applied to other sorts of applications like credit card fraud detection, network anomaly detection etc. However, to handle unstructured and multidimensional datasets non-trivial amounts of efforts need to be applied especially for the pre-processing, and feature engineering step; including feature extraction and feature selection.
Furthermore, the performance of the above algorithm can certainly be improved with proper model machine learning model tuning. Unfortunately, the current implementation of Spark provides the Hyperparameter tuning through model selection via Cross-validation and TranSplit. Interested readers should refer the Spark website for regular updates.
In my next post, I will show how to implement the same application for TCGA dataset using Dataset<Row> which is a unified data abstraction of DataFrame and Dataset now in Spark 2.0.0. The reason is, of course, I found using the Dataset is more convenient and lightweight and computationally faster compared to RDD.
