Q: Elasticsearch: Access values from buckets in aggregations I would like to create word clouds to visualize the results of Elasticsearch queries. In the word cloud all terms that occur in the documents that match the query should be displayed. So, I need to calculate the term frequencies for all terms that occur in some arbitrary set of documents. The problem is that I need the actual frequencies of all terms in the documents, and not just the number of documents a term occurs in (this is easily solved using a terms aggregation or facets).
Given the following test index
curl -XPOST localhost:9200/test -d '{
    "mappings": {
        "testdoc" : {
            "properties" : {
                "text" : {
                    "type" : "string",
                    "term_vector": "yes"
                }
            }
         }
    }
}'

and data:
curl -XPOST "http://localhost:9200/sports/_bulk" -d'
{"index":{"_index":"test","_type":"testdoc"}}
{"text":"bike bike car"}
{"index":{"_index":"test","_type":"testdoc"}}
{"text":"car"}
{"index":{"_index":"test","_type":"testdoc"}}
{"text":"car car bus bus"}
{"index":{"_index":"test","_type":"testdoc"}}
{"text":"bike car bus"}
'

The following query returns the term frequency of the term 'bike'.
curl -XPOST "http://localhost:9200/test/testdoc/_search" -d'
{
    "query": {
        "match_all": {}
    },
    "aggs": {
        "words": {
            "terms": {
                "field": "text"
            },
            "aggs": {
                "tf_sum": {
                     "sum": {
                         "script": "_index[\"text\"][\"bike\"].tf()"
                     }
                }
            }
        }
    }
}'

Result:
{
   "took": 3,
   "timed_out": false,
   "_shards": {
      "total": 5,
      "successful": 5,
      "failed": 0
   },

      "total": 4,
      "max_score": 0,
      "hits": []
   },
   "aggregations": {
      "words": {
         "buckets": [
            {
               "key": "car",
               "doc_count": 4,
               "tf_sum": {
                  "value": 3
               }
            },
            {
               "key": "bike",
               "doc_count": 2,
               "tf_sum": {
                  "value": 3
               }
            },
            {
               "key": "bus",
               "doc_count": 2,
               "tf_sum": {
                  "value": 1
               }
            }
         ]
      }
   }
}

However, instead of calculating the tf_sum for 'bike' only, I'd like to calculate the tf_sum for all terms returned by the words-aggregation. Is there a way to access the key field of the buckets in the script of the tf_sum aggregation, so I can calculate the total term frequency for all terms returned by the words-aggregation?

A: Well we can achieve this by using script in terms aggregation. We can access the term value using the _value variable
curl -XPOST "http://localhost:9200/test/testdoc/_search" -d'
{
    "query": {
        "match_all": {}
    },
    "aggs": {
        "words": {
            "terms": {
                "field": "text",
                "script" : "_index[\"text\"][_value].tf()"
            }
        }
    }
}'

Can TFS Work Items be imported into Gemini?
Either via the data import tool or any other reasonable method. While I'd consider recommending Gemini to UL PureSafety, that's a pretty important question in that process.
Yes, you can use the data import tool if you can export the work items from TFS in Excel / CSV which should be possible. You could also use Gemini's API to do the import.
David, please drop us an email so we can share some info on Gemini 5 with you.

Q: What is the purpose of this tail recursion Scala? I see this method:
trait Compressioner {
  def ioStream(is: InputStream, os: OutputStream, bufferSize: Int = 4096): Int = {
    val buffer = new Array[Byte](bufferSize)

      @tailrec
      def doStream(total: Int): Int = {
        val n = is.read(buffer)
        if (n == -1) total
        else {
          os.write(buffer, 0, n)
          doStream(total + n)
        }
      }

    doStream(0)
  }

So I just wanted to check to see if I understand this. We're initializing a Byte Array (and a byte is 8 bits long and is used to represent a character or letter) and that's our buffer (which is a temporary storage, often in memory).
What is the @ sign?
We then read from the input stream 4096 bytes a time (which is often 4096 characters at a time?). read returns -1 if there is nothing left and that's our end condition. Otherwise we take our bytes that we read and write it to the output stream. Is that correct interpretation of this? Did I say anything inaccurately?

A: Actually tail recursion has nothing to do with Scala. It is the memory efficient recursion because what we do, while calculating the result we don't keep the previous result in the recursion stack rather we keep the answer as the function parameter so while coming back from the recursion we don't need the value we have calculated previously. It's just a way to make your algorithm space efficient. Every recursive function can be written as a tail recursive function, how ever there is no mathematical proof for that!!!
You can refer to this link for more information about tail recursion.  This is more of algorithmic explanation for tail recursion.
For example
Normal recursive function for factorial program.
def fact(n)={
If(n==0)
   return 1
  n*fact(n-1)
}

What will happen we will come down until n==0
Like this.
fact(4)
4*fact(3)
3*fact(2)
2*fact(1)
1*fact(0) //it will return 1

But until we return 1 we need to have have all the other function call in memory to calculate the factorial eventually.
Tail recursive function
def factorial(n: Int): Int = {
  @tailrec
  def iter(x: Int, result: Int): Int =
if (x == 1) result
else iter(x - , result * x)

  iter(n, 1)
}

fact(5)

In tail recursive function the last call should be the function call that is the thing we should keep in mind.

And particular to the Scala you can refer to this.

Q: SEO and hard links with dynamic URLs With ASP.NET MVC (or using HttpHandlers) you can dynamically generate URLs, like the one in this question, which includes the title.
What happens if the title changes (for example, editing it) and there's a link pointing to the page from another site, or Google's Pagerank was calculated for that URL?
I guess it's all lost right? (The link points to nowhere and the pagerank calculated is lost)
If so, is there a way to avoid it?

A: I use the same system as is in place here, everything after the number in the URL is not used in the db query, then I 301 redirect anything else to be the title.
In other words, if the title changed, then it would redirect to the correct place. I do it in PHP rather than htaccess as it's easier to manage more complex ideas.

A: I think you're generally best off having the server send a permanent redirect to the new location, if possible.
That way any rank which is gained from third party links should, in theory, be transferred to the new location. I'm not convinced whether this happens in practice, but it should.

A: Yes, all SEO is lost upon a url change -- it forks to an entirely new record. The way to handle that is to leave a 301 redirect at the old title to the new one, and some search engines (read: Google) is smart enough to pick that up.
EDIT: Fixed to 301 redirect!

A: The way Stackoverflow seems to be implemented everything after the question number is superfluous as far as linking to the question goes.  For instance:
SEO and hard links with dynamic URLs
links to this question, despite the fact that I just made up the 'question title' part out of thin air.  So the link will not point to nowhere and the PageRank is not lost (though it may be split between the two URLs, depending on whether or not Google can canonicalize them into a single URL).

A: Have your app redirect the old URL via a 301 Redirect.  This will tell Google to transfer the pagerank to the new URL.

A: If a document is moved to a different URL, the server should be configured to return a HTTP status code of 301 (Moved Permanently) for the old URL to tell the client where the document has been moved to. With Apache, this is done using mod_rewrite and RewriteRule.

A: The best thing to help Google in this instance is to return a permanent redirect on the old URL to the new one.
I'm not an ASP.NET hacker - so I can't recommend the best way to implement this - but Googling the topic looks fairly productive :-)

Dyson Commercial Dance student Madison Embrey was nine years old when she met Rhonda Miller, who would eventually launch Pace's Commercial Dance Program. Fast forward a decade to performances, pageants, and her dreams coming true. >>Read More
If you ask Dyson BFA Commercial Dance student Madison Embrey '14 what brought her to Pace, she'll tell you all about her meeting with renowned choreographer and Commercial Dance Program Director Rhonda Miller…when she was just nine years old.
"I took my first dance class with Rhonda Miller when I was nine. Then when I was 16 or 17, I ran into her again. She told me Pace had a dance minor and that she was starting a dance major at Pace, had written the program but it wasn't in place yet. She asked if I would like to be the student to help get the program started," recalls Embrey. "I was planning on going to Fordham for either pre-law or political science, but the opportunity to not only be at a university in the city, but to be at the forefront of a program I believe so strongly in, I couldn't say no."
And it looks like things paid off for Embrey, who has thrived at Pace, both academically as a Pforzheimer Honors College student and in her field, performing in the Dance Out Loud showcase and alongside six Broadway stars in Carnegie Hall Community Sing, all in one week, which she cheerfully called her "second week of Christmas."
"I don't think it gets any more 'real world experience' than right here," she says.
Additionally, through a connection with her music theory teacher and musical director for the Broadway show Chicago Leslie Stifelman, who worked with Carnegie Hall to start the Carnegie Hall Musical Exchange, Embrey has served a student ambassador to the program, which connects artists to young musicians (ages 13-25) to share their performances and compositions and provide feedback. She's also taken on a role in the Performing Arts department in recruiting, giving tours to prospective students, and bringing in nearly 25 new students to the program.
Inspired by the impact Rhonda Miller had on her, Embrey also returns to her home state of Michigan each summer to give back to middle school age students, teaching, giving private lessons and workshops, choreographing, even helping out with national dance conventions.
And now, she's taken it to a national level, inspiring youth through her pageant platform for Miss New York. In March 2013, Embrey was crowned Miss Southern New York, the official preliminary to Miss New York and Miss America, and she will compete for Miss New York on July 13. Her platform "Pursue Your Passion" is meant to encourage people, especially middle school and high school age youth, to find what they love and pursue it.
"So many people want to give, give, give, and few give to themselves," she says. "For younger people, it's about finding something you're passionate about. Whenever I was stressed out about something, I had dance to go to. I wanted to find a platform that was important to everyone and to encourage everyone to find that something they love. I was so fortunate to have so many amazing mentors in my life and I want to become one of those mentors for the next generation."
All this success and Embrey has managed to stay grounded, just not literally. After graduation, though she has not crossed off getting her master's degree or pursuing law school, she's going to keep dancing.
"My plan is to pursue a professional performance career. Coming to Pace and working with professionals in the industry, it feels like a really tangible goal," she says. "Because the faculty at Pace is amazing and they're working in the industry, it doesn't feel like there's a glass wall between myself and a professional career in the performing arts. If I keep putting in the hard work and making connections, it's going to happen."
Interested in seeing Embrey in action? Check out some of her 2012 Dance Out Loud performances here and here and watch her perform "Oh the Places You'll Go" at the American Dance Awards Nationals here. Make sure to stay tuned for more about her journey to the Miss New York crown.

The Detroit Lions added one coach on Friday and lost another.
Danny Crossman was hired as the special teams coach to replace Stan Kwan, a holdover from the Rod Marinelli era who was let go after this last season.
Departing is quarterbacks coach Jeff Horton, who left to become the offensive coordinator at the University of Minnesota. That means the Lions will need to find a coach to help tutor young quarterback Matthew Stafford as they hope he prepares to raise his game to a new level after a sometimes exciting, sometimes frustrating and sometimes injured rookie season.
Crossman comes from the Carolina Panthers and previously worked at Michigan State.

Destroying Structure: An Interview With Ramleh
Joseph Burnett , February 1st, 2012 10:34
Seminal noise band Ramleh celebrate their thirtieth year of operation in 2012. Joseph Burnett spoke to band members Gary Mundy and Anthony diFranco about the group's history and influence
With the current upsurge in popularity for noise music, one now-defunct eighties record label has been garnering a lot of retrospective attention: Broken Flag Records, which operated from 1982 to 1989 under the beady eye of South Londoner Gary Mundy. In parallel to releasing pioneering works (usually in the then-nascent power electronics genre) by the likes of Maurizio Bianchi, Skullflower and Controlled Bleeding, Mundy also was the guiding hand of seminal noise/rock/drone/post-everything band Ramleh, which has now existed in a variety of forms for thirty years.
Today, Ramleh exists in two guises: one a power trio featuring Mundy on guitar and vocals, long-time member Anthony di Franco (formerly of Skullflower and the man behind the Ethnic Acid and JFK solo outfits) on bass, and drummer Martyn Watts; the other a power electronics act featuring just Mundy and di Franco. With a massive anniversary festival for both the band and Broken Flag set for 2012, the Quietus sat down with Gary Mundy and Anthony di Franco, after a rehearsal in preparation of last October's Leeds show, to discuss their unique history. We spoke about why they decided to have two versions of Ramleh, the story of Broken Flag, and how they're planning to celebrate 30 years of incredible music this year.
How did the rehearsal for the Leeds show go?
Gary Mundy: Pretty good.
Anthony diFranco: Yeah, it was really enjoyable.
GM: The three of us hadn't played together in quite a while. We have two versions of the band, and this was the guitar-bass-drums version, and Martyn [Watts] hadn't played the drums for a while so we were curious as to how it would sound [laughs], but it was like we'd never left off, really, wasn't it?
AdF: Yeah, fantastic.
I can imagine that Ramleh live shows must be very intense and demanding. How do you prepare for that? Is it easy to 'get in the zone', as they say?
GM: I'm always in 'the zone' [laughs]
AdF: A lot of it depends on the sound of the venue, whether we're doing the duo or the trio version of the band. You get a lot of variance from venue to venue, in the sound and so on. So generally, we work out the sound and kind of get sucked into it... If we've had a good gig, we generally get off the stage with a feeling we've been somewhere else, we come off and think 'wow'. We get a real kick out of performing live.
GM: It's certainly kind of gruelling, but then the adrenaline gets you going. At the end of each gig, I feel I could quite happily get back on and do it again.
Is your music mostly improvised, or do you come in with a setlist?
GM: We've got sets that we work out, which we sort of stick to, but there's room within our music to improvise. Some of our tracks are quite open-ended, so if it's going well we can extend them a bit. We have a pretty good idea of what we're going to do, though. We don't make it up as we go along.
AdF: It's kind of improvisation around a structure. Sometimes things turn into something else altogether.
GM: I like it when that happens, those happy accidents.
Tell me a bit more about these two versions of the band. When you're playing as a trio, I assume it's you, Gary, on guitar, Anthony on bass and Martyn on drums. When you perform as a duo, is it all electronics? When you're performing live, do you go back to older material, or do you just stick with new tracks?
AdF: We use guitar and bass as well, as a duo, along with the electronics, but there are no drums, no percussion.
GM: When we first started the electronics side of Ramleh, at a gig in New York, we did do some older material, because it was a 25th anniversary thing, so we did a mixture of both, but we then decided we wanted to do some new electronic stuff, so it's pretty much entirely new material now. We're doing these anniversary shows in May next year, so we might resurrect some older songs for that.
AdF: The current setlist contains quite a lot from the Valediction album, mixed with some new tracks, but we have the flexibility to shift around with that set-up.
GM: Yeah, whereas with the rock version of the band, apart from the 'Switch-Hitter' single we did, it's all material from the forthcoming album. If things are going well, I think you should always be happiest with what you're doing at the moment. If you only want to do old stuff, it kind of suggests that what you're doing now isn't any good! We're generally always happiest with what we're doing at the time. In hindsight, sometimes you might realise that what you were doing three albums ago was better than what you did two albums ago, but at the time of doing something it's different.
AdF: The way we've worked over the years has been to not reflect too much on the past and always try to look forwards. The sort of tension between our 'rock' and 'electronic' sides also gives us a lot of freedom to try new things.
How did the decision to have two different versions of the band come about?
GM: It was probably that New York show, again.
AdF: Yes, that's the simplest explanation. We were asked to do this show in New York in 2007. It was a power electronics show, so we worked on that, and it just worked really well.
GM: It seemed a shame to do it for just one show, so we thought we should carry on with that. But at the same time we wanted to carry on with what we'd be doing before, as the rock band, so we thought, 'Why don't we just carry on with both?' I think we figured that the two could sort of merge in some way in some point in the future, but at the moment they seem to work as two separate things. I like the idea that we could perhaps weave them together, with a bit of guitar-bass-drums and electronics, but we haven't really done it yet.
Regarding the history of Ramleh, I know you were on Broken Flag as a teenager, Anthony, as Ethnic Acid and JFK, whilst Gary was operating the label and performing as Ramleh.
AdF: I was very young, and Gary kindly released a couple of tapes I did, and then got me involved in Skullflower, on the early albums, such as Form Destroyer. But Gary's obviously the most long standing member of Ramleh.
GM: I started Ramleh in 1982, hence the 30-year anniversary concert next year. It was me and a friend of mine, who fell by the wayside when I suggested we play live. The first album was also me and someone else, before it became me and Philip Best, from Whitehouse. Stuart Dennison [from Skullflower] joined us afterwards, so we became a four-piece, and now it's just the three of us, or two. The shifts happened pretty much organically. Be Careful What You Wish For [1995] was something of a concept album, whilst Valediction came out of reviving the whole power electronics thing, but at the same time we didn't want to do something that sounded like it could have come out in 1982.
Hole in the Heart [1987, reissued in 2009 on Dirter] was the one time it was just me, because I wanted to revive the band but couldn't find anyone to do it with! Listening back to it, I don't really know where that came from [laughs]. I was trying to do something a bit noisy but also with a lot of guitar, so it felt like a progression from what I'd been doing before. I think the rock band thing kind of evolved out of playing with Skullflower in the late eighties and early nineties. There were ideas coming out of that that I wanted to take into Ramleh, a sort of idea of being a metal band but without drums. And as ever, that idea turned into something completely different, but it got Philip back into the band, and then sort of evolved.
AdF: In the late eighties and early nineties, there were quite a lot people experimenting with rock, but using noisier sounds. There was a real sort of groundswell, a lot of people doing that. Sort of taking a rock idea and destroying it, and then building it back up only to destroy it again.
GM: Of course, in the early Skullflower days, we were all massive Butthole Surfers fans! I just loved the fact that you could take a rock idea and sort of mess around with it. Being a rock band, but a warped one.
What do you think of the current power electronics revival, and how do you look back at the scene from the eighties?
AdF: When I started recording music, in the mid-eighties, I was doing it in a complete vacuum, but Gary was in the middle of it...
GM: Well, William Bennett deserves the credit, really, because Whitehouse sort of sparked the whole thing off. I'd be doing my own things, with, y'know, tapes in my bedroom and so on, but it was seeing Whitehouse that made me realise there was potentially an audience for that sort of stuff. William told me how to get my records off the ground and there was a little cosy scene for a while. And then of course, it sort of splintered, but initially it was really good. I'm not really aware of what's going on at the moment. I don't really pay much attention. I'll hear a few things that sound great from time to time. I don't really want to be persuaded to do what's currently fashionable. This may seem big-headed, but I'd rather be the one being followed rather than following, so I like to try and always do something that sounds different.
AdF: I think we probably work differently from some of the other power electronics bands...
GM: I don't think that what we do is what they would consider to even be power electronics.
AdF: With Valediction, we recorded it as a rock album, but we used different instrumentation. So we did what you might call a power electronics album, but recorded it in the same way Led Zeppelin might have recorded an album [laughs]. Which is probably not how a lot of power electronics acts work. We don't use laptops for example.
GM: I don't even own a laptop!
Broken Flag started as a way to put out your own stuff and stuff you liked - do you miss running the label at all?
GM: Not much, no. It was hard work. I did it for seven years, something like that, and it was a real cottage industry, just me sitting at home and not going out as I tried to fulfil all these orders. I was happy to do it for a while, but it got to the stage where I didn't have a life! I do kind of miss having a label but I don't miss all the work involved [laughs].
AdF: It was one of the best labels you could be on at the time and, from my perspective, it seemed dangerously close to being a professional operation. I mean, you actually gave me copies of the tapes when they were released! But I should imagine there was an awful lot of work involved...
GM: Yeah, it was pretty much constant. There was a long list of orders that I had to get through all the time. These days, you wouldn't be able to get away with it, because people pretty much want everything immediately. But if you ordered something from me in those days, it would take you 3 or 4 weeks to get it, because I had other stuff to do first, and had this backlog. But people didn't worry so much in those days. They expected it to take a while, especially as I did everything to order. I didn't have boxes of tapes lying around.
Were you aware that the label was becoming a pretty big deal?
GM: With hindsight, as people have come up and said things to me, I've come to realise that people did appreciate it. But I didn't get that feeling at the time, it was just something I did. I didn't feel I was doing anything particularly special - I mean, there were lots of other labels around. But looking back, people seem to have a lot of fondness for Broken Flag, which is nice.
Plus you launched quite a few careers on Broken Flag: Skullflower, Maurizio Bianchi...
GM: Yes, that's true. When we started working on the Broken Flag boxset it was quite funny thinking about how long ago that was, and how many of those people are still doing stuff.
AdF: It was a very varied and open-minded back catalogue. From the perspective of someone who used to send Gary stuff to put out, it always used to amaze me that he would release some of the stuff that I did. Because I was deliberately making it far out.
GM: The only way I could work was that if someone sent me a tape, I'd put it on and then carry on with whatever I was doing. If the music caught my attention in some way, and I thought there was something good in there, I'd put it out. If it finished and I hadn't even noticed, then I'd have to be diplomatic and turn it down. I used to get a lot of really dull stuff, people just messing around with synthesizers, or whatever. I think a lot of people who don't really 'get' noise music just think anyone can do it but you can tell who knows what they're doing and who doesn't. A lot of it is down to ability.
AdF: You can tell when someone doing noise music has got musical sense. It can be melody, but it can even be something like structure. You can tell if someone has a sense of musical structure.
GM: When I look at our back catalogue, in Ramleh, there are very few side-long tracks, they all hover around that five-minute mark, and come from thinking about things more in a song-like way.
AdF: Which is not to say we won't do twenty-minute pieces, and we have!
Ramleh obviously had an influence on the modern noise scene. Do you find, with noise, that, after a while, when it's been building up, it gets to a point where it becomes cathartic as opposed to purely noisy?
AdF: Oh fucking hell, yeah! Absolutely. Sometimes it's like you're opening up a black hole, and sucking everyone in. Certainly when we do the power electronics show, it gets to a point where we build up a tidal wave of sound and you get lost in it, but you're participating at the same time. It's a bit like having your cake and eating it.
GM: When you're on stage, obviously you're performing, but the best gigs for me are when I kind of forget that the audience is there. You just sort of lose yourself in the music, and then you come back to reality and think 'Jesus, there are people here!' [laughs].
At the same time, Ramleh's music is very melodic, even subtle. When you're playing at such a high volume, can it be difficult to maintain that subtlety?
GM: I don't know if we're very subtle. Maybe tangentially...
AdF: It's quite nice when you have a structure to also have the freedom to destroy it and debase it a bit. Sometimes, it's nice when things just fall to pieces, and effectively that's what we've been doing for 20 or 30 years.
GM: I kind of like the opposite in many ways, when you're making pure noise, and you can introduce a melodic element to it. And people aren't even noticing.
I really like the use of vocals in Ramleh. They're very much subsumed in the mix, but are lyrics a very key part of what Ramleh do?
GM: Yeah. I'm quite happy to do stuff without vocals, but when they are in there, I do want the lyrics to mean something, even if you can't hear what they are. I haven't gone in much for lyrics sheets. With Valediction, it was a case of taking the lyrics, cutting them up and putting them in there.
Is it a kind of stream-of-consciousness approach to lyric-writing or do you work to a theme?
GM: Usually, yeah, it just kinds of comes out. I'll have a track and think it needs vocals, and then I think 'What sort of thing is that track conjuring up?' You hear a track and kind of hear a vocal melody. I did the lyrics for Valediction all in one night, it all kind of came out in one go...
AdF: Sometimes you'll have a rhythmic thing going on, and find that vocals will match that. As for the lyrics, it kind of depends on what's buzzing around in your head at the time. It's a difficult process to describe.
GM: If I'm going to write anything, it's probably going to be something very bleak. So Anthony has to do the positive stuff! In the early power electronics days, I'd try to do sort of aggressive lyrics, but most of the time it didn't come easily to me. It was always the sort of down, depressive stuff that came easily to me.
AdF: With Valediction, we were talking about doing a power electronics record, and Gary came up and said he'd written a shitload of lyrics.
GM: I just sat down one night and wrote a few different things that all sort of spewed out. I don't write very often, so when I do it's either rubbish or comes out on a roll like that.
AdF: Gary needs to be given a lot of credit for that whole 'vocal-as-instrument' style, with a lot of echo. That came out of early Ramleh. Even in the early days of Skullflower, when we had vocals, we used to call it 'The Ramleh Vocal', because it was a very distinctive sound.
GM: Matthew Bower asked me to do some vocals with the Voltigeurs for the Leeds show. As before, when I'd sung in Skullflower, and I asked him what he wanted, vocally, he said 'Your usual wounded elk' [laughs]. So that's my sound: wounded elk!
Do you have a thematic approach to each album?
AdF: There are definitely thematic ideas on individual albums. Valediction was quite a concept piece, though I'm not sure anyone got it. The clue's in the title...
GM: It's a lot about schizophrenia, of sorts, and depression, and the flipside of that, which is when you feel like you're king of the world. You feel like you're invincible and then suddenly you want to just kill yourself. It's one of the few very personal things I've written, whereas generally I write about more general things. I think in power electronics, there's a lot of that sort of macho posturing and aggression, which is ok to an extent, but there's not a lot of what I'd call 'emotional' power electronics.
AdF: Yet there's got to be room for that.
GM: I think you can use that music and do something more personal and moving, in a way. There's a bit in 'Part III' on Valediction where I'm just shouting 'Please forgive me' over and over. I kind of lose myself in that.
AdF: It's funny, I'd only just noticed that's what you were singing. [laughs] Valediction had a very dark sound, but what was interesting was the piece at the end, which had a driving feel to it, which turned it on its head to make it almost life-affirming.
GM: Pete Johnson from Second Layer, who put it out and did all the promos, described it as 'bleak psychedelia', and I think that sums it up. I like describing us as that.
As you said, next year marks the 30th anniversary of Broken Flag, with a huge festival to celebrate it in May. Is it all ex-Broken Flag people, or are you bringing in some other friends as well?
GM: I was speaking to the promoters, whom I'm letting do all the work [laughs], and they persuaded me that we should have one act each night that's a modern act who would have theoretically been influenced by what was put out on Broken Flag, so that's what we've done. We've got Prurient, as well as Ramleh, Skullflower, Giancarlo Toniutti, The New Blockaders, Controlled Bleeding and many others from the Broken Flag days. Basically anyone who's still alive!
AdF: It's very much a once in a lifetime experience, and we'll have Americans, Italians, Brits and so on.
Does having this big shebang make you look back at the history of Ramleh and Broken Flag in a new way?
GM: I'm kind of hoping this is going to be it, so we can focus on what we're doing now after all this.
AdF: Don't look back. It's very nice to have a legacy to look back on, and we're looking to re-release a lot of it, but it must not become a millstone around your fucking neck. You do have to focus on what you're doing at the moment, but at the same time you have to consider that people want to hear older stuff.
GM: And not have to pay £40 on Ebay!

John Pitts - Marketer
Innovative marketer in command of the complete toolkit—print, digital, broadcast, social, email, word of mouth, etc. I thrive on results.

Verified identity
I'm a New York book publishing veteran, with an impressive track marketing some of the biggest and best authors in the business. People who know me best know that I don't do anything the same way twice, that I refuse to settle for the expected, and I'm always pushing the envelope, looking for the big idea, the new tactic that will cut through the clutter and raise awareness for an author's work.
All that cleverness would amount to nothing if I didn't execute, which I take pride in doing at the highest levels. A publishing marketer is necessarily a jack-of-all-trades, a fox and a hedgehog.
My experience includes all of the following: Consumer and trade marketing. Print, TV, radio & digital advertising and promotion. Street teams, gorilla and urban marketing. Word-of-mouth and viral marketing. Social media marketing in its many forms and iterations. Promotion/advertising via Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc. Sweepstakes marketing. Email marketing. SMS/MMS marketing. Viral video. I view the book marketing process as a collaboration, and my goal is to tease out the essence of a work, build a campaign around that heart, and work closely with the author to execute the strategy with precision, energy and style.
I guide authors along the path to the best publication possible without multinational corporate support. Cover, copy, positioning, marketing, advertising, timing, launch...the whole tamale! I bring a ton of experience and expertise to the game, and I am unique for having mastered both visuals and text—I write and I design! Since I've been hands-on for my entire career, I have first-hand knowledge and mastery of the most significant marketing tools: Amazon Ads, Facebook/Instagram, NetGalley, Goodreads, BookBub, Twitter, Reddit, podcasts, etc. I'm collaborative and transparent—and honest.
My base fee is $2500/month.
🖋 RECENT PRAISE 🖋
"Hiring John Pitts was one of the best decisions I made.
Because he is experienced at running publishing programs at the highest level, he knows what works and what doesn't. He's also an expert on advertising and other new promotion strategies that self-published authors otherwise need to puzzle through themselves.
He helped me reshape my book package, create and run my ads, and help determine which tactics were worth it and which were a waste of money. He went above and beyond and was always available to help me through the confusing process of self-publishing, where there are so many possible false moves.
He's also a good guy and I enjoyed collaborating with him at a personal level."

Chris is a prolific writer, a consummate storyteller, and very actively involved in the promotion of his works. Including THE FLIGHT ATTENDANT, most recently, I have collaborated with Chris on the marketing of six of his novels. They range from historical fiction to psychological thrillers. What they share in common are fully-realized female protagonists, crystalline prose, propulsive plots, and a readership overwhelmingly composed of women.
Generally speaking, it makes publishers and booksellers more comfortable to clearly position an author's work, to assign it a clear category, and a defined set of comparable titles. It just makes everyone's job a little easier. To his credit, though, Chris defies categorization. So we've struggled with that some, fruitfully. I think with the publication of THE FLIGHT ATTENDANT we've found him the niche he deserves: must-read!
Anyway, he's very much engaged in his social media, and we've spent a lot of effort building that audience and finding the right voice. The marketing is truly a collaboration—I consult with Chris on every marketing decision. We've developed a very open and trusting partnership that I think is a paradigm for the publisher/author relationship.
I have hands-on managed the Grisham brand in the United States for 25 plus years. Which means that I have had direct responsibility for marketing of all his adult titles in that span while carefully guiding the overall strategy and messaging for ''America's Favorite Storyteller.''
Every single hardcover publication has been a #1 bestseller. Where many mature authors have experienced an erosion in readership as their core readers age, we have maintained an industry leading sales level that continues to confound the conventional wisdom. We have achieved that by reviving lapsed readers, recruiting new, younger readers, and enlisting core fans as influencers.
I have personally managed all of Grisham's digital platforms: website, Twitter, Facebook and Instagram. Every single piece of content that has appeared in these spaces has been shaped by my sensibilities. Additionally, as someone has said, ''80% percent of success is just showing up.'' I take that a leap further by executing on every tactic at the highest level.

No Western Conference team — in fact, no team the San Antonio Spurs played last postseason — gave them bigger fits than the Dallas Mavericks. The Mavs were the only team to push the Spurs to seven games and, if a few things had broken differently, the Mavs might have pushed the Spurs right out of the postseason.
Instead, the Spurs won their fifth NBA title.
So, logically, one assumes that the Mavericks are closer to being a contender in the Western Conference, correct? Mark Cuban must have thought so as he spent, traded and remade his roster yet again in pursuit of giving Dirk Nowitzki one more shot at an NBA title. Nowitzki took a massive pay cut to help Cuban out financially, by the way.
Someday, the 2014-15 season might become the season of the Chandlers.
NBA general managers considered Parsons the second-most surprising free-agent signing of the offseason and the Chandler trade the most underrated acquisition.
Tyson Chandler is back in Dallas, thanks to a trade with the New York Knicks in which the Mavs gave up four players, all of which were replaceable (though they'll miss Jose Calderon's accuracy from the 3-point line). In retrospect, perhaps it wasn't the right move to send Chandler packing after the Mavs won the 2011 NBA title, as in that one season Chandler became the best defensive center in the team's history (sorry, James Donaldson).
No one the Mavs inserted in Chandler's position the past three seasons came close to delivering the intimidation Chandler provides in the paint. So he's back — and in the final year of his Knicks contract, which means Cuban isn't on the hook for anything if something goes south.
The Mavs stole Chandler Parsons from the Houston Rockets, who were too busy trying to lure Carmelo Anthony and Chris Bosh to Space City to try and keep him. Well, here's the accepted version. The Rockets told Parsons to shop his services as a restricted free agent and they would match the offer. The Mavs offered Parsons $46 million over three years.
When the clock counted down to match the offer, the Rockets balked and tried to get the Mavs to do a sign-and-trade instead. The Mavs declined. The Rockets received nothing. Somewhere, Cuban grinned.
NBA general managers considered Parsons the second-most surprising free-agent signing of the offseason, behind LeBron James' going back to Cleveland. They also ranked the Chandler trade the most underrated acquisition of the offseason.
So where does all of this leave the Mavs? Well, from here, they have the "big three" that Cuban has wanted for the past few years, though it's not the superstar constellation one would expect. In this case, it's Nowitzki, Parsons and last year's big free-agent acquisition, Monta Ellis.
Between the three they averaged 57.3 points per game in 2013-14. As a comparison, look at the "big three" that set off the craze in Miami — Bosh, Dwyane Wade and James.
They averaged a combined 62.3 points per game last season. This season, with James now in Cleveland, his new "big three," Kevin Love and Kyrie Irving, averaged 74.0 points per game last year. That's bound to come down this season as they learn to share the ball.
Chandler gives head coach Rick Carlisle the defensive enforcer inside that he's craved, one that should transform the unit and give it the backbone it had in 2010-11. During the last four seasons, Chandler has averaged nearly 10 rebounds and one blocked shot per game. Last year's starting center, Samuel Dalembert, has averaged two rebounds fewer over his career.
In full, these changes — along with the acquisition of guards Raymond Felton and Jameer Nelson, and the re-signing of Devin Harris — should make the Mavs one of the Western Conference's toughest opponents this season.
Don't believe me? Ask the Spurs, the Mavs' season-opening opponent Tuesday. They're not quaking in their boots because they are the Spurs, after all. But you can bet head coach Gregg Popovich doesn't want the Mavs in the first round of the playoffs again, either.

One size does not fit all when it comes to treatment for anxiety and panic.
So I customize an approach and treatment plan designed for your specific situation.
Before our first appointment, I'll send you some paperwork to fill out and bring with you so we can maximize our time together in our first session. This gives me a holistic view of who you are, what problems you're experiencing, and your goals for feeling better.
Me too! I want you to get results that will really make a difference in your life! So we start by setting goals for your specific situation, designed to bring you more peace, calm, and freedom from anxiety and panic.
If you didn't have all that anxiety or worry, what would be different in your life?
I want you to be able integrate what we're working on in our sessions and apply it to your everyday life so you can see real results. So you'll often have "homework" to do in between sessions to help you get results faster.
The single most powerful thing you can do to reduce anxiety is to change your perspective and train your brain to start assessing situations differently. When you can look at problems, worries or fears in a different way, you can reduce feelings of anxiety. Different thoughts lead to different feelings.
But if you could do that on your own, you probably would have done it already.
This is where my Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) comes in. Based on dozens of scientific studies, CBT is probably the most effective treatment for anxiety. 60-80% of people experience a significant reduction in anxiety. And CBT has longer-lasting results than medication because it gets to the root cause of the problem.

Cultural Analysis on Death and the Afterlife Essay
Category: Analytical Essay
If there is one constant in this world, it would surely be death. Dying is an unavoidable part of life. Indeed, everything that lives will at sometime die. The fear of death is held by everyone. Perhaps it is the correlation of death with pain or the unknown state of the human consciousness after death, maybe a combination of both, that creates this fear.
The fear felt is undoubtedly universal, however, the ways in which it is dealt with are varied and diverse. The concept of human mortality and how it is dealt with is dependent upon ones society or culture. For it is the society that has great impact on the individuals beliefs. Hence, it is also possible for other cultures to influence the people of a different culture on such comprehensions. The primary and traditional way men and women have made dying a less depressing and disturbing idea is though religion. Various religions offer the comforting conception of death as a begining for another life or perhaps a continuation for the former.
Christians, for example, believe that souls that have lived by the words of their God will exist eternally in heaven as divine beings themselves. This conception of an afterlife is generally what we people who are residents of the Unitied States hold to be true. For American culture has its roots in Europe and European culture was and is still influenced by Christian faiths. Similar to Christianity, the Hinduism also eases the fear of death by presenting a life after death. Disimilarities present themselves in the two faiths concerning exactly what kind of afterlife is lived. Believers of the Hindu faith expect to be reincarnated after their demise, either as an animal or human being depending on the manner in which their lives were carried out.
These ideals have influenced our culture though our use of language and thought. The implications are apparent in the common references to ones past lives. For instance, if someone has a natural talent for music one may refer to the person as being once a talented musician in a past life. A religion which describes death as a continuation of existance is held by the Crow tribe of middle America. They viewed death as a journey with the final destination as a place where all their anscestors have gone before them. This notion of an afterlife eased the tribes assimilation into Christian culture when colonists came in contact with the Native Americans during the colonial expansion period.
Examining further into the past, myths were first used to explain the conclusion to ones life. Looking at what little literature that has been found which has been writen by the Sumerians, a picture of an afterlife is formed. Their idea of an afterlife is illustrated though the Epic of Gilgamesh. The death of the protagonists friend, Enkidu, allows the reader a glimpse into this existance. Enkidu describes the afterlife as being spent underground for all time, doing exactly nothing that is either enjoyable or exciting. The concept from the Ancient Sumerians have definitely influenced the Ancient Greeks.
The Greeks believed in an underworld in which they spent eternity in. The realm was a shadow of their formal lives. Happiness was not conceivable in their afterlife. In turn, the Roman culture was greatly influenced by the Grecian concepts of death. The Romans incorporated the Greek gods into their religion and also their notions of the afterlife. These notions were then expanded to include different levels of the underworld where certain types of people resided.
Take for example in Virgils Aenied, Aeneas the main character journeys into the underworld to visit his father. He initially arrives in a place for lost souls and then reaches the Elysian Fields (Elysium) where great heros, warriors, and people of talent dwell. The Roman culture, in turn, influenced the various cultures of Europe during the middle ages slightly before the enlightenment. The pagan religion the Romans believed in were replaced with Christian concepts of an afterlife, however, the notion of the underworld was kept and modified. Once again the incorporators made the underworld more elaborate and redifined it as Hell. In Dante Alighieris Divine .

You just can't find a logical explanation for your poor performance and this new situation is getting to you. You were setting new personal records on your swimming times only a couple of seasons ago, whereas you can't even get close to those old times nowadays.
It does not necessarily mean the training provided is incorrect. There could be countless reasons this might happen and you should not be tempted to give up on your training.
Perhaps this is a good opportunity to realize what you are made of, check your mental fortitude, and drive to overcome adversity. It's also a good time to see how hard you are willing to train to reach your limits and finally improve your swimming times.
The decision is yours. You can choose to either get up sad and tired or get up with energy in your muscles and passion in your mind. Be a mere observer in your training or take center stage and actively seek recompense for your efforts.
At the end of the day, you are doing what you enjoy most and your opportunity could come when you least expect it. Harness your inner strength and release the energy it offers. Don't let doubts and criticisms stifle your dreams of improving your swimming times and allow your options to shine.
Such situations are most likely just a bump in the road, a tough obstacle to overcome that appears without warning and leaves you feeling helpless.
Take control, have another go, and reach for your goals.
The following resources are not an elixir of truth but are based on experience and common sense, and might help you.
1. In difficult times, stay calm and work hard.
2. Come to terms with the situation quickly. Accept the potential defeat and analyze the reasons for your poor performance with your coach. If you know where you went wrong, it will be easier to remedy the situation and find ways to improve your swimming times.
3. Feeling sorry for yourself is not the best solution. The competition is over, think positively and resist that frustration. It was just a bump in the road.
4. Find new objectives for the meantime, both short- and medium-term objectives for your swimming times. Reaching these new objectives will help you achieve your final goal.
5. Accept situations you cannot overcome. Fighting against them will make you vulnerable. Accepting them will make you stronger.
6. Set logical goals.Choose goals that are more accessible to begin with and progressively harder with time, but always suited to what you can realistically achieve.
7. Take the opportunity to learn new things, improve that style you never wanted to swim, compete in other distances, strengthen your weaknesses, improve your turns and starts.
8. Forget about the stopwatch – and even competing – for a while and focus on training and finding new feelings or sensations that motivate you to improve your performance.
9. Include recovery techniques in your schedule. Perhaps you are too tired after a busy day of study and exams. Perhaps those burdens are not letting you achieve your peak performance. Do what you think is best to improve your swimming times but never lose confidence, start feeling down, or stop trying.
10. Talk to your coaches. They will know better than anybody how to deal with the problem of your swimming times properly. Work with them and share your thoughts and opinions. Remember that together, you form an invincible team. Alone, you'll struggle to achieve your goals.
Even though the wall might seem impossible to climb, anything is possible. Regaining self-esteem after an unexpected defeat and achieving new objectives for your swimming times will always be possible if you know the reasons preventing you from moving forward. Persevere, resist those feelings of desperation and avoid being overwhelmed by sadness.
