La Beturia (en latín Baeturia) era un amplio territorio antiguo de la península ibérica comprendido entre los cursos medios e inferiores de los ríos Guadiana —en latín Ana— y Guadalquivir —en latín Baetis—, que a partir de la II Edad del Hierro fue habitado por dos pueblos de orígenes distintos, al oeste los Celtici (célticos), indoeuropeos, y al este los Turduli (túrdulos), parientes de los turdetanos. El territorio fue anexionado por Roma a comienzos del siglo II a. C., e incluido en la provincia Hispania Ulterior.

Con el nuevo reparto provincial llevado a cabo por el emperador Augusto en 27 a. C., la totalidad de la Beturia se integró en la provincia senatorial Bética, aunque con distinta dependencia administrativo-judicial: mientras los célticos pertenecieron al convento jurídico de Hispalis, los túrdulos quedaron bajo la dependencia del de Corduba.

Según la propuesta de Alicia M. Canto en 1991, completada en 1995 y 1997, el reparto del territorio entre ambos pueblos se debió a las explotaciones mineras diversas en las que respectivamente eran expertos: los célticos en el hierro y los túrdulos en la plata y el plomo. Puede verse un mapa explicativo de ello en [1].

En época árabe ambos territorios seguían existiendo de forma caracterizada, los célticos pervivían en la kûra de Firrís, y los túrdulos en la de Fahs al-Ballut (Canto, ERBC 1997, pág. 46 ).

En la actualidad la Beturia céltica corresponde en su mayoría al suroeste de la provincia de Badajoz, entrando en Portugal hasta Serpa y el Guadiana, que era su límite occidental antiguo, y una parte menor por el norte de la provincia de Huelva; la Mancomunidad de Municipios Beturia rememora esa primera denominación. La Beturia túrdula por su parte corresponde al sureste de la provincia de Badajoz, al norte de la provincia de Córdoba, y al suroeste de la de Ciudad Real.

Saraki's wars and victories
By The Nation On Aug 2, 2018
Modern senates modelled after the original Roman senate whose essence, besides making laws, amending budget or repealing public policy and guarantee freedom and prevent tyranny, are meant to be chambers of "sober second thought" and are often made up of men of honour. Rather than strive towards these ideals, our senate since the birth of the fourth republic seem to approximate everything that is wrong with our nation – corruption, greed, treachery impunity and vileness. Saraki's current 8th senate regarded by many Nigerians as the worst in our nation's history, in addition boasts of not a few comedians and men without ambition.
Bukola Saraki, inheritor of a fiefdom called Kwara State is and cannot be a democrat. It is therefore not a surprise that while swearing in the name of democracy, this veteran of civilian coup has done everything but promote the ideals of democracy in the last three years. Like Adolph Hitler, he is however not averse to using democrat's tools such as parties and elections to fight democrats. His latest coup could therefore only have come as a surprise to some naïve leaders of APC who ought to have used the big stick when Saraki first demonstrated his lack of discipline to be a member of a political party which like a cult group has no room for traitors. His latest coup bore the hallmark of his style – some drama and some theatrics while assaulting the very basis of democracy.
We woke up last week to be greeted with the news of a siege by security forces on the homes of Senate President Saraki and his deputy, Senator Ike Ekweremadu. Saraki's spokesperson, Yusuf Olaniyonu, told Premium Times: "As I am talking to you, I cannot access the street. They have barricaded the road and I cannot say his whereabouts now." The media aide to Ekweremadu, Uche Anichukwu, also confirmed the siege. Asked whether his principal would be in the senate plenary, he said "That I cannot say. When you attack a man's house, how is he supposed to be at plenary?" While Ekweremadu was far away from the said besieged house, Saraki was in the senate chambers presiding over the defection of some his vociferous supporters led by Dino Melaye to the opposition PDP.
The police statement that "The police personnel seen in pictures in the media were those in the convoy of the senate president and others attached to him and that there was no authorized deployment of police personnel to besiege the residence of the senate president or his deputy as reported in the media" did not stop Prince Uche Secondus, PDP chairman and Kola Ologbodiyan, the party's spokesman from holding a world press conference to accuse the president of an assault on democracy. It also did not stop PDP stalwarts including Senator Ben Bruce who AMCON alleged owes N11billion toxic loan and Olisa Metuh, erstwhile PDP spokesman who has in the last two years appeared in courts where he is facing corruption charges on wheel chair or on a stretcher to celebrate the triumph of democracy with Ekweremadu and defecting senators entertained by Dino Melaye's new release titled "PDP is good. There is everything for everybody in PDP".
The same drama and theatrics preceded Saraki's first coup against his party in June 2015. He had then told a shocked nation how he hid inside a small car parked in front of the senate chambers for about four hours to outwit his fellow APC 52 elected senators having a meeting with the president before sneaking into the Senate chambers to be adopted senate president by acclamation by 49 PDP senators and eight APC senators. Itse Sagay had back then described Saraki's coup as 'a victory for impunity, a victory for fraud and a victory for political desperation and indiscipline", while Auwalu Yadudu, former Dean of a Faculty of Law, Bayero University Kano had dismissed it as 'lies in the face of democratic ideals' since Saraki's emergence stemmed from 'a flawed election by a fraction of yet-to-be-constituted senate. But for him and his supporters, it was a victory for democracy.
Between Dele Momodu and Victor Atta
Igbo and Fulani zero-sum struggle for power
Nigeria's hypocritical leaders
Hailed as a champion of democracy by a segment of the press after ceding the control of senate with 60 APC majority to PDP with 49 senators, denied his party the right to choose its leaders and traded off the deputy senate position which by convention belongs to the ruling party with a majority to Ekweremadu who had by the same convention occupied the position as David Mark's deputy for eight years, he was ready to take on the nation.
Since he started his political career fresh from a medical school in Britain as Obasanjo special assistant on budgeting, he decided his war for democracy must start with budget padding. The major actor in budget preparation is the executive since a government budget is the political tool with which government in power fulfils its electoral promises to the electorate. The legislature debates, examines and authorizes spending of public revenue while areas of joint cooperation between it and the executive include implementation, monitoring, evaluation and reporting. But Saraki who has never known failure has other ideas.
Thus when the 2016 Budget submitted to the House in December 2015 was returned some five months later, Audu Ogbeh, the agriculture minister was the first to claim he and his team discovered 386 "strange" projects worth N12.6billion inserted by the National Assembly after reducing the ministry's budget proposals from N40, 918 billion to N31.618 billion to accommodate their own constituency projects. The Minister of Transport raised similar alarm about the cancellation of the Lagos – Calabar rail project to accommodate N3b National Assembly constituency projects such as provision of tricycles, town halls, classrooms, solar street lights, and pedestrian bridges.
The 2018 budget suffered the same fate. The National Assembly, according to President Buhari, had made cuts amounting to N347 billion in the allocations to 4,700 projects submitted to them for consideration and introduced 6,403 projects of their own amounting to N578 billion. While many of the projects cut according to the president "are critical and may be difficult, if not impossible, to implement with the reduced allocation", some of the new projects inserted by the National Assembly have not been properly conceptualised, designed and cost and will, therefore, be difficult to execute." But for Saraki and his supporters, it was a triumph of democracy.
Long before the collapse of his trial before the Code of Conduct Tribunal, ever confident Saraki had dismissed his trial as an assault on democracy. The weighty allegations by Michael Wetkas, a detective with EFCC before a tribunal that Saraki as governor diverted Kwara State government funds to pay loans he took to buy properties through his aides, one of whom lodged between N600,000 and N900,000 in the former governor's account 50 times on a particular day were attributed to enemies of democracy. So was his allegation that 'Saraki collected salary as the governor of Kwara State for about four years after completing his second term in 2011' . Even when it was confirmed by Secretary to the Kwara State Government, Isiaka Gold that N578, 188.00 which increased to N1, 239,493.94 monthly from October, 2014 was paid to Saraki not as salary but as pension, his supporters only hailed their champion of democracy.
The strength of Saraki lies in the weakness of APC. This is why Saraki is thirsty for more blood. Last week after arrogantly directing his most strident supporters in the senate to decamp to PDP and ordering his Kwara APC constituency to join PDP, he gave no indication he was about to honourably vacate the senate presidency seat he has for three and half years deployed not for serving the country but to wage personal wars with eyes on personal victories.
Anger management: 10 tips to tame your temper
Firm holds safety awareness

I stopped seeing my psychologist in January. After 12 months of pretty much weekly sessions, I decided to end it, just like that. Why? Because I felt I had become too attached.
Kara* was the fourth psychologist I had seen since 2012 and the first I felt I could talk to. I felt comfortable with her pretty much straight away, which is unusual. I'm a fairly quiet person and on top of that have a pretty big trust problem too, I know I do. I suppose that started in my teenage years, when I realised how different I was from everyone else. I had a secret, a big one, and the best way to keep a secret is to hold it close and never let anyone near it.
Becoming a cop only made things worse, because we deal mainly with the untrustworthy. Thieves, liars and those who are intent on doing every kind of harm imaginable. Whatever trust you have going into a job like that, you lose it pretty quickly. You have to, if you're going to survive.
In late-2016 I was in the depths of depression and mourning the loss of my operational career. It was while I was in this state of mourning that I found comfort, safety and solace in Kara. I trusted her more than I had ever trusted anyone in my life, told her things I had never told another living soul, and it was from that deepest sense of trust that other feelings soon arose.
Within a few months it became clear to me that I had become quite attached to Kara. It wasn't a sexual thing, but rather a feeling that she was the kind of person I could imagine myself sitting opposite in a busy cafe, talking about everything.
I was so comfortable with her that it was starting to feel uncomfortable. Actually, it terrified me. I felt like I was breaking all the rules of therapy.
But I did feel that way and it bothered me, a lot. I eventually gathered up my courage and told her what was going on, which was hard. Firstly, because I've never been that good at difficult conversations and secondly, because I thought she just wouldn't want to work with me anymore.
Kara thanked me for being honest and told me she'd be happy to keep working with me, but would be equally happy for me to transfer to another psychologist. Whatever was easiest for me to manage, she said.
I talked it all over with Jamie*, a good friend of mine and he thought what I was feeling was understandable, even natural. His advice? That I should continue to trust Kara and the therapy process.
So Kara and I left things as they were and I made the conscious decision to take a step back. Some days were easier than others. Some days I felt could just push it to the side and get on with it. But some days I couldn't. And the longer we worked together, the harder it became.
Intellectually, I got it. Of course I did. I was supposed to tell Kara everything without getting too attached. But at an emotional level, as one person talking to another person, I was struggling.
The fact is, I didn't want Kara as my psychologist anymore, I wanted her as my friend. And there were many times when it did feel like I was talking to a friend. That was foolish of me, I know. She made it clear that she cared for me as much as she would for any client. I think that's what made it so difficult.
So I decided to stop therapy.
Working with Kara I felt safe and grounded, then overnight that was gone. The first thing that comes to mind is rock climbing with and without a harness. Take away the harness and the person spotting you, and climbing that rock becomes a very different experience. All of a sudden you're basically just some loser, on a big rock, hanging on for dear life.
For me, life after therapy has been lonely, sad, chaotic and at times overwhelming. There have been many days when I really needed someone to talk to. I've thought about finding another psychologist, but just can't face it. Frankly, the way I feel right now is that I don't want to go through any of this ever again.
I miss talking to Kara. And because I owe so much to her influence, I find myself thinking about her often. It's because of her that I got on top of the PTSD and still have a job. It's because of her that I am finally able to talk about my asexuality. It's because of her that I started meditating. It's because of her that I'm able to now talk openly about all the work stuff. It's because of her that I started writing again and now have this blog.
I've seen a lot of positive changes in myself and usually it's because of something Kara and I talked about. Not huge leaps, but more like these little ripples of change that I'm seeing pretty much daily.
The thing is, I don't think it's possible for me to be this open with someone and this altered by someone without some other feelings creeping in. I don't. After all, it's these very things – trust, honesty and safety – that are at the root of any good relationship.
The relationship between psychologist and client is a professional one, but entirely in its own league. I have had many professional relationships, but none like this. I have never been this open with my boss. I have never been this trusting of my physiotherapist. I have never felt this safe with my accountant.
There's a lot about this that feels unresolved. I still don't know if I felt so comfortable with Kara because I shared so much with her, or if I shared so much with her because I felt so comfortable with her. I just don't know. I haven't been able to figure it out. Maybe I never will.
I also don't know what she thinks of me and that bothers me. What do psychologists think of their clients? Do they ever become attached?
Thirdly, I don't know where I went wrong. What should I have done differently? Is it possible to be this open with someone and remain unaffected? Was I supposed to be so open with her, or should I have been more guarded?
To all the psychologists out there, you ask a lot of us. And for those of us who are willing to let our guard down and put everything into therapy, that can come at a real cost. That kind of honesty and trust does not come easily for me. For you, the psychologist, it's an opening.

It can be hard to show clients what their money is paying for, but I was taught that it's always a good idea to try. The amount of time that they see you at the shoot is just a fraction of what is involved in a professional photographers day.
One of the many things you pay a professional photographer for, is their post-production work. Call it what you want: editing, massaging, enhancing, retouching, fine-tuning, polishing… It's just a piece of the total package.
That being said, it's a pretty important piece. Even an image that's technically sound, SOOC (straight out of camera) can usually benefit from a little love. Photographers use programs like Lightroom and Photoshop to help make a great image GREATER. It's also the opportunity to use artistic preference and help their images stand out from the crowd.
This is one of my favorite recent portraits. Carter's parents are some of my longest-standing clients. "Legacy" clients!

Henry Tompkins (or Thomas) Paige Comstock (1820–1870) was a Canadian miner after whom the Comstock Lode in Virginia City, Nevada, was named. The Comstock Lode was the richest silver mine in American history.

Referred to by history books variously as a "sanctimonious gaffer", an "illiterate prospector", and a "quick-thinking loudmouth", he was known by his contemporaries as "Old Pancake", because he could not be bothered to bake bread. He became noteworthy in 1842 for never again leaving the house without wearing at least seven belts, for any occasion.

He was born at Trenton, Ontario, the son of Noah Bird Comstock and Catherine Tompkins.  He may have worked as a fur trapper and sheep drover.  He came into knowledge of the enormous silver lode which bears his name, but sold out his interest early and did not profit from it.

Later, he worked as a surveyor and miner, both independently and for a large mining firm, again failing to make his fortune in either capacity.  He died from suicide by his own pistol on September 27, 1870, near Bozeman, Montana, and is buried in the Sunset Hills Cemetery in Bozeman.

Pickup hits Amish horse-drawn carriage, killing 2 kids
ALGANSEE TOWNSHIP, Mich. (AP) - Authorities say a pickup truck rear-ended an Amish horse-drawn carriage in southern Michigan, killing two children and seriously injuring two others and a woman who were in the carriage.
The state police say the two adults and five children who were in the carriage were ejected when the truck hit it Friday night in Algansee Township, a small farming community not far from Michigan's borders with Indiana and Ohio.
The children who were killed were 6 and 2 years old. They were pronounced dead at the scene. Authorities say two other children, ages 3 and 4, were hospitalized with life-threatening injuries and that a woman also suffered serious injuries.
According to reports, the pickup truck's driver was intoxicated at the time of the crash and is being held in Branch County Jail. Authorities haven't released the names of anyone involved.

Q: async code running synchronously, doesn't seem to have any lines that will be blocking Running on Windows 10, Python 3.6.3, running inside PyCharm IDE, this code:
import asyncio
import json
import datetime
import time
from aiohttp import ClientSession

async def get_tags():
    url_tags = f"{BASE_URL}tags?access_token={token}"
    async with ClientSession() as session:
        async with session.get(url_tags) as response:
            return await response.read()

async def get_trips(vehicles):
    url_trips = f"{BASE_URL}fleet/trips?access_token={token}"
    for vehicle in vehicles:
        body_trips = {"groupId": groupid, "vehicleId": vehicle['id'], "startMs": int(start_ms), "endMs": int(end_ms)}
        async with ClientSession() as session:
            async with session.post(url_trips, json=body_trips) as response:
                yield response.read()

async def main():
    tags = await get_tags()
    tag_list = json.loads(tags.decode('utf8'))['tags']
    veh = tag_list[0]['vehicles'][0:5]
    return [await v async for v in get_trips(veh)]

t1 = time.time()
loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()
loop.run_until_complete(main())
t2 = time.time()
print(t2 - t1)

seems to be running completely synchronously, time increases linearly as size of loop increases. Following examples from a book I read, "Using Asyncio in Python 3", the code should be asynchronous; am I missing something here? Similar code in C# completes in a few seconds with about 2,000 requests, takes about 14s to run 20 requests here (6s to run 10).
Edit:
re-wrote some code:
async def get_trips(vehicle):
    url_trips = f"{BASE_URL}fleet/trips?access_token={token}"
    #for vehicle in vehicles:
    body_trips = {"groupId": groupid, "vehicleId": vehicle['id'], "startMs": int(start_ms), "endMs": int(end_ms)}
    async with ClientSession() as session:
        async with session.post(url_trips, json=body_trips) as response:
            res = await response.read()
            return res

t1 = time.time()
loop = asyncio.new_event_loop()
x = loop.run_until_complete(get_tags())
tag_list = json.loads(x.decode('utf8'))['tags']
veh = tag_list[0]['vehicles'][0:10]
tasks = []
for v in veh:
    tasks.append(loop.create_task(get_trips(v)))

loop.run_until_complete(asyncio.wait(tasks))
t2 = time.time()
print(t2 - t1)

This is in fact running asynchronously, but now I can't use the return value from my get_trips function and I don't really see a clear way to use it. Nearly all tutorials I see just have the result being printed, which is basically useless. A little confused on how async is supposed to work in Python, and why some things with the async keyword attached to them run synchronously while others don't.
Simple question is: how do I add the return result of a task to a list or dictionary? More advanced question, could someone explain why my code in the first example runs synchronously while the code in the 2nd part runs asynchronously?
Edit 2:
replacing:
loop.run_until_complete(asyncio.wait(tasks))

with:
x = loop.run_until_complete(asyncio.gather(*tasks))

Fixes the simple problem; now just curious why the async list comprehension doesn't run asynchronously

A:
now just curious why the async list comprehension doesn't run asynchronously

Because your comprehension iterates over an async generator which produces a single task, which you then await immediately, thus killing the parallelism. That is roughly equivalent to this:
for vehicle in vehicles:
    trips = await fetch_trips(vehicle)
    # do something with trips

To make it parallel, you can use wait or gather as you've already discovered, but those are not mandatory. As soon as you create a task, it will run in parallel. For example, this should work as well:
# step 1: create the tasks and store (task, vehicle) pairs in a list
tasks = [(loop.create_task(get_trips(v)), v)
         for v in vehicles]

# step 2: await them one by one, while others are running:
for t, v in tasks:
    trips = await t
    # do something with trips for vehicle v

Why Isn't Servant Leadership More Prevalent?
With servant leadership, a leader's primary role is to serve employees. Everyone from Lao-Tzu to Max De Pree thinks this a wonderful model. Why, then, is this style so rare among CEOs? HBS Professor James Heskett ponders the topic in this column, which first appeared on the HBS Working Knowledge website.
Servant leadership is an age-old concept, a term loosely used to suggest that a leader's primary role is to serve others, especially employees. I witnessed a practical example of it at a ServiceMaster board meeting in the 1990s when CEO William Pollard spilled a cup of coffee prior to the board meeting.
Instead of summoning someone to clean it up, he asked a colleague to get him cleaning compound and a cloth, things easily found in a company that provided cleaning services. Whereupon he proceeded to get down on his hands and knees to clean up the spill himself. The remarkable thing was that board members and employees alike hardly noticed as he did it. It was as if it was expected in a company with self-proclaimed servant leadership.
Lao-Tzu wrote about servant leadership in the fifth-century BC: "The highest type of ruler is one of whose existence the people are barely aware…. The Sage is self-effacing and scanty of words. When his task is accomplished and things have been completed, all the people say, 'We ourselves have achieved it!'"
It is natural, rightly or wrongly, to relate servant leadership to the concept of an inverted pyramid organization in which top management "reports" upward to lower levels of management. At other times it has been associated with organizations that have near-theological values (for example, Max De Pree's leadership at Herman Miller, as expressed in his book, Leadership is an Art, that emphasizes the importance of love, elegance, caring, and inclusivity as central elements of management). In that regard, it is also akin to the pope's annual washing and kissing of the feet as part of the Holy Thursday rite.
The modern era of servant leadership began with a paper, The Servant as Leader, written by Robert Greenleaf in 1970. In it, he said: "The servant leader is servant first … It begins with the natural feeling that one wants to serve, to serve first. Then conscious choice brings one to aspire to lead … (vs. one who is leader first…) … The best test, and difficult to administer, is: Do those served grow as persons … (and become) more likely themselves to become servants?"
Now it appears that a group of organizational psychologists, led by Adam Grant, are attempting to measure the impact of servant leadership on leaders, not just those being led. Grant describes research in his recent book, Give and Take, that suggests that servant leaders are not only more highly regarded than others by their employees and not only feel better about themselves at the end of the day but are more productive as well. His thesis is that servant leaders are the beneficiaries of important contacts, information, and insights that make them more effective and productive in what they do even though they spend a great deal of their time sharing what they learn and helping others through such things as career counseling, suggesting contacts, and recommending new ways of doing things.
Further, servant leaders don't waste much time deciding to whom to give and in what order. They give to everyone in their organizations. Grant concludes that giving can be exhausting but also self-replenishing. So in his seemingly tireless efforts to give, described in the book, Grant makes it a practice to give to everyone until he detects a habitual "taker" that can be eliminated from his "gift list."
Servant leadership is only one approach to leading, and it isn't for everyone. But if servant leadership is as effective as portrayed in recent research, why isn't it more prevalent? What do you think?

And Rob Miller's got enough money, too
My giving Joe Wilson a hard time for his hard sell "let me make you mad enough at the Democrats that you'll send me money" appeal, when he's already sitting on a mint, produced a productive response.
It you'll recall, I said I was sure that Rob Miller — who ALSO has more money than needs to be wasted on a futile congressional campaign, also as a result of the "You Lie!" incident — was doing the same thing; I just wasn't on his mail list.
So I got this today from Brian DeRoy with the Wilson campaign:
Since you somehow aren't getting emails from Rob, let's be fair and point out he's aggressively pursuing donors too. Remember, he's raising a ton of money from ActBlue, Moveon.org and the DNC.
And here's the communication he shared with me that he said was from the Miller campaign:
Dear Supporter,
As I criss-cross the district meeting small business owners, hard-working people, and community leaders, everyone agrees that we need a plan to get people back to work. For nearly a decade now, South Carolina's economy has been falling behind. Bad trade agreements shipped good, high-paying jobs overseas. Wall Street's greed was rewarded with a $700 billion bailout. Our small businesses and working families got nothing.
Joe Wilson was there every step of the way– casting the deciding vote for CAFTA, voting for the bailout, and opposing unemployment benefits, health insurance, and job re-training for the constituents he abandoned for a few campaign contributions.
It's time to send Joe's Wall Street ways packing, and I've got the plan to get our economy back on track. I'll fight for our small businesses and our communities. My plan includes:
· A full-time district office employee whose primary job is helping small businesses get grants and loans,
· A budget-neutral Hometown Tax Credit to incentivize small business hiring,
· A permanent extension of the Research and Development Tax Credit,
· Incentives for small businesses hiring new employees,
· Increasing lending to small businesses,
· Cutting red tape and bureaucracy for small businesses,
· Creating a venture capital fund to promote innovation,
· Expanding technical school programs, and
· Equipping churches and other community organizations to teach workplace skills.
Small businesses are the backbone of the American economy, and Joe "Wall Street" Wilson has been ignoring them for too long. It's time for a Congressman from Main Street who will fight for jobs in South Carolina, not Central America. Stand and fight with me.
Semper Fi,
Yep, that's cut from the same cloth — to some extent. And it's got that irritating "fight" language in it that I always find so obnoxious. (And you'd think that a combat veteran like ex-Capt. Miller would know the difference between a political debate and a fight.) I have to say, though, it really doesn't go nearly to the same extent in trying to demonize the competition. At least, not the way I look at it. What do y'all think?
Anyway, I'm fully persuaded that neither of these guys needs anybody to send him any more money.

Where has Rob Miller ben? He wasn't on the ballot in the primary. Or am I misunderstood in thinking he was running against You Lie! Wilson?
-possibly out of the know voter
scout July 2, 2010 at 9:37 am
He is running against Wilson. He wasn't on the ballot because he had no other Democratic Challenger
There are several races like that – didn't appear on the primary ballot because there was only one candidate from the party, therefore no need for a primary, but they will be on the ballot in November.
kc July 2, 2010 at 12:35 pm
I already sent Mr. Miller some money (prompted by "You lie!"). Since then I haven't heard a damn thing from him.
I sure hope he's campaigning more vigorously in his district.
scout July 2, 2010 at 3:02 pm
I am in Miller's district and have not heard much either. 🙁 Wilson seems to be everywhere. He had gamecock stickers with his name on them at the parade today, for example. Is Miller articulate? I have never heard the Guy speak. I'd like to support him but I'd like to know more.
Brad July 2, 2010 at 3:50 pm
Here's video I shot of him in 2008. I wasn't impressed. He got a little better as the campaign wore on, but never became what you'd call a good speaker.
As for how he's doing now — I have no idea. I haven't seen hide or hair of him, much less heard him, this time around. If he was at the parade, I missed him. But the Wilsons were out in force. (I didn't actually SEE Joe, but I may have been looking the wrong way when he went by. I saw Allan, and what seemed to be a parade-within-the parade of pro-Wilson vehicles.
Kathryn Fenner July 2, 2010 at 7:01 pm
Well, I sent Rob some money, to show the rest of the world that I disapproved of Joe W. He called me a few months ago. I explained that I wasn't in his district, or terribly well off. We chatted amiably–he's well-spoken, but not "politician glad-handy" at all.

Q: Partial integration in MATLAB I am working on Fourier Analysis and need to implement Fourier Series in MATLAB. What I want is to do the following:

*

*Obtain the Fourier Coefficients as a function of n,  $a(n)$,  so that whenever I input say n=2, I get the numeric value of a(2). I need an analytical expression for $a(n)$ something like for example $a(n) = \frac{1}{1+n}, n \in \mathbb{N}$.

Let $f \in L^{2}[0,1], $ and we are working with the standard orthonormal basis $\{\sqrt2 sin (2k \pi x)\}_{n=1}^{\infty} \cup \{\sqrt2 cos (2k \pi x)\}_{n=1}^{\infty} \cup \{1\}$
The problem that I am facing with implementing the partial integration in the following step
$a(n) := \int_{0}^{1} f(x).e_{n}(x) dx$
where $e_{n}(x)$ is $\sqrt2 sin (2n \pi x), \sqrt2 cos (2n \pi x)$ or 1.
So for example we take $e_n(x) = \sqrt2 cos(2n\pi x)$.
Let $g(n,x) = f(x).\sqrt2 cos(2n\pi x)$.
How do I get the expression for $a(n)$ i.e.,
$a(n) = \int_{0}^{1} g(n,x) dx$ ?
I want to be able to give n as input to $a(n)$ and obtain the nth Fourier coefficient, $n \in \mathbb{N}$.
Now the things that I have tried are the following,
f = @(x)x;
g = @(n,x)(f(x).*cos(2n$\pi$x));
a_n = @(n)integral(@(x)g,0,1);
So then if I try to obtain a_n(2), I get the following error
Error using integralCalc/finalInputChecks (line 511)
Input function must return 'double' or 'single' values. Found 'function_handle'.
Error in integralCalc/iterateScalarValued (line 315)
                finalInputChecks(x,fx);
Error in integralCalc/vadapt (line 133)
            [q,errbnd] = iterateScalarValued(u,tinterval,pathlen);
Error in integralCalc (line 76)
        [q,errbnd] = vadapt(@AtoBInvTransform,interval);
Error in integral (line 89)
Q = integralCalc(fun,a,b,opstruct);
Error in @(n)integral(@(x)g,0,1)
Thanks for reading my question.

A: Here is the correct way to do it :
 f = @(x)x;
 gc = @(n,x)(f(x).*cos(2*n*pi*x));
 gs = @(n,x)(f(x).*sin(2*n*pi*x));
 for n=0:5
     a(n+1)=integral(@(x)(gc(n,x)),0,1);
 end;
 for n=0:5
     b(n+1)=integral(@(x)(gs(n,x)),0,1);
 end;
 a
 b

(I have been obliged to make a shift, using $a(n+1)$ instead of $a(n)$ because unfortunately Matlab doesn't accept 0 indices).

Edit 1 : In order to make a step forward in the direction of an explicit expression for the $b_n$ (of course, the $a_n$, beyond $a_0$, are all zero because $f$ is an odd function), I add the idea to change the type of numbers by using rationnals, i.e., I placed a "format rat" right at the beginning of the program. Then I obtained :
$$b_0=0,b_1=-\dfrac{113}{710},b_2=-\dfrac{113}{1420}, b_3=-\dfrac{113}{2130}, b_4=-\dfrac{113}{2840}, b_5=-\dfrac{113}{3550},\cdots $$
A formula of type $b_k=a/k$ was evident, but with which constant $a$ ?
Some minutes later, it became to me evident: 355/113 is the famous approximation of $\pi$ (exact up to 6 decimal places): see (http://turner.faculty.swau.edu/mathematics/materialslibrary/pi/pirat.html).
Thus the most reasonable guess is that, for $k>0$, $ \ b_k=-\dfrac{1}{2 \pi k}$.

Edit 2 : I have been baffled by the answer of Fabio Somenzi.

A: You may try something like this:
syms x n f(x)
assume(n,'integer')
assumeAlso(n > 0)
raw = int(f * cos(2*sym(pi)*n*x), 0, 1);
a(n) = simplify(subs(raw,f,x^2))

which produces
$$\frac{1}{2n^2\pi^2} \enspace. $$

Specs & Presets
List of Human Presets (iQ/iQ+)
The Abdomen preset uses harmonic frequencies in a curvilinear format to support the clinical assessment of structures the size and morphology of abdominal organs, such as the liver and kidney, to a depth of 25cm. It is also used for abdominal procedures, such as paracentesis or ECMO lines in the IVC.
Abdomen Deep
Abdomen Deep uses the fundamental low frequencies required to provide the depth of penetration necessary for abdominal assessments of up to 30cm. This curvilinear preset is typically reserved for technically challenging patients, such as high BMI or those with highly attenuating livers, as in hepatitis.
Aorta & Gallbladder
Aorta/Gallbladder uses imaging parameters which allow high-contrast imaging for these specific abdominal structures. This is designed for optimal delineation of borders, and so is best applied in the investigations of AAA, CBD, gallbladder disease, cholelithiasis, and pericholecystic fluid—common investigations in primary care and the emergency room.
The Bladder preset has been optimized for the contrast and detail required for bladder assessment. The Field of View (FOV) is expanded to 120 degrees to enable broader visualization of the bladder to a depth up to 20cm. This curvilinear preset includes the application of harmonic imaging for high resolution imaging. It provides the penetration necessary for visualization of the entire bladder, and the contrast resolution required to demonstrate the bladder wall with confidence. This preset is best applied for the investigation of urinary retention, bladder wall health, urethral valve patency and prostate size.
The Cardiac preset operates with a high-frame-rate phased array, and uses fundamental frequencies to allow reliable real-time echocardiographic interrogation of cardiac anatomy. This preset penetrates to 25cm, and is used actively by many bedside specialty clinicians in a diverse array of clinical environments such as the ED, ICU, Cardiology office and for peri-operative assessment in the PACU for global heart health assessment. It can also be used for thoracic procedures, such as pericardiocentesis.
Cardiac Deep
The Cardiac Deep preset has an alternate optimization developed to provide imaging flexibility in assessment of different patient types. It features a higher resonant frequency and a harmonic component to offer a different look. With its high frame rate, it offers reliable real-time echocardiographic interrogation up to 25cm.
Coherence Imaging
Coherence Imaging, located in the Cardiac preset, enhances the image by removing unmodeled acoustic reverberation and aberration (typically known as "clutter") and improving contrast resolution for support of binary decision-making.
The FAST preset has been optimized for performance of the FAST (Focused Assessment with Sonography in Trauma) examination, which assists the clinician to identify free intraperitoneal or pericardial fluid in blunt trauma patients. It is a cornerstone of point-of-care ultrasound in both Emergency Medicine and EMS. The preset penetrates to 25cm, and is a combination of technical characteristics that provide high frame rate for cardiac imaging (typically the subxiphoid view) yet high detail for interrogation of the deep pelvis and abdomen.
A popular preset to help triage and care expedition in the fight against COVID-19, the Lung preset has been optimized for demonstration of the pleural surface and lung sliding in the foreground, as well as A-line and B-lines throughout the 15cm field. Of note, the preset has been designed to anticipate these needs of the user, by transforming from a linear array to curvilinear array at 7cm within this preset in order to optimize both for near-field lung sliding dynamics and B-lines, as well as A-lines in the mid to deeper field.
MSK-Soft Tissue
MSK-Soft Tissue is our highest-frequency preset. It has been developed with high dynamic range for optimized detail resolution of soft tissue structures, such as intramuscular assessment. It is commonly used by advanced users of MSK point-of-care ultrasound looking for detailed anatomical assessment. The preset penetrates from a minimum depth of 1cm to a maximum of 12cm. The user will notice the preset automatically translates from linear to trapezoidal format (4cm), and then to curvilinear (8cm) to support superficial trigger finger assessments through to deep inguinal hernia and hip-joint interrogation and needle guidance. It is also a popular preset applied by board-certified plastic surgeons in the investigation of symptomatic breast implant studies.
Musculoskeletal is a partner preset for MSK-Soft Tissue. It has been developed with a focus on contrast resolution to highlight crisp borders between structures, and needles with "pop". It tends to be preferred by those users performing interventions, as well as for diagnostic procedures requiring crisp border detection such as in DDH, as well as rheumatology. The preset penetrates from a minimum depth of 1cm to a maximum of 12cm, and automatically translates from linear to trapezoidal format (4cm), and then to curvilinear (8cm). As a result, the Musculoskeletal preset can support inspection/injection of the peripheral joints as well as support the depth of penetration necessary for hip joint, and even epidurals.
The Nerve preset has been developed in collaboration with regional and peri-operative anesthesiologists. It is a high-frequency linear imaging format optimized for interrogation of the peripheral nerves, to a depth of 5cm. It has been developed to show contrast between the nerve bundle, distinct from surrounding structures and yet maintain the detail resolution required to demonstrate the typical "honeycomb" appearance of individual nerve fascicles.
OB 1/GYN
The OB 1/GYN preset is a dedicated curvilinear obstetric preset for in-utero assessment of pregnancy and gynecological patients to a depth of 25cm. The preset has been optimized for first trimester pregnancy studies and is particularly popular in Labor & Delivery, obstetric, and resource-limited settings.
OB 2/3
The OB 2/3 preset is a dedicated curvilinear obstetric preset for in-utero assessment of pregnancy and gynecological patients to a depth of 25cm. The preset has been optimized for second and third trimester pregnancy studies and is particularly popular in Labor & Delivery, obstetric, and resource-limited settings.
The Ophthalmic preset has been carefully developed with the appropriate MI operating scope for point-of-care ultrasound examinations of the eye. This typically involves looking at structural integrity of the orbit, foreign bodies as well as optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD). It is a linear preset, depth range to 5cm.
Pediatric Abdomen
The Pediatric Abdomen preset uses harmonic frequencies in a curvilinear format to support the clinical assessment of the size and morphology of abdominal organs, such as the liver and kidney. This preset uses a higher frequency and can penetrate as deep as 15cm, optimized for pediatric assessment.
Pediatric Cardiac
The Pediatric Cardiac preset operates with a high-frame-rate phased array, and uses frequencies to allow reliable real-time echocardiographic interrogation of cardiac anatomy. This preset penetrates to 15cm and is optimized for pediatric patients, including higher frequencies than its adult-companion preset.
Pediatric Lung
The Pediatric Lung preset has been optimized for demonstration of the pleural surface and lung sliding in the foreground, as well as A-line and B-lines throughout the 7cm field. It is a preset popular for the detection of pulmonary consolidation associated with pediatric pneumonia, and is one of the highest-used presets by our Global Health NGO partners.
Small Organ
The Small Organ preset has been optimized for the investigation of small soft tissue structures such as the thyroid, parotid gland, lymph nodes and testes in a linear format to a depth of 6cm. It can be used for both the qualitative and quantitative assessment of organ size, morphology and vascularity. Examples of the latter include: assessment of testicular torsion as well as Hashimoto's Thyroiditis.
Vascular: Access
The Vascular: Access preset has been designed to meet the high-contrast, high-resolution demands of ultrasound-guided venipunctures and arterial access procedures, with a linear format. It optimizes imaging from a minimum of 1cm through to 5cm, and has a low grey-scale appearance to "pop out" both the vasculature, as well as the needle/catheter path, and tip.
Vascular: Carotid
The Vascular: Carotid preset has been designed to meet the high-contrast, high-resolution demands of assessment of the carotid arteries, for peripheral arterial disease. It has been designed to support the identification of plaque, hemodynamic disturbance and stroke screening. It optimizes imaging to 6cm, to accommodate a range of patient types. The preset has been optimized with a relatively low grey-scale appearance to "pop out" intimal boundaries. A great video to help get you started can be found here.
Vascular: Deep Vein
The Vascular: Deep Vein preset has been designed to meet the high-contrast, high-resolution demands of assessment of the peripheral deep veins. It has been designed to support the identification of thrombosis by supporting frame rates that accommodate the typical compression maneuvers, the contrast resolution to support the demonstration of the thrombus itself, as well as support to 8cm. The preset has been optimized with a relatively low grey-scale appearance to "pop out" intimal boundaries.

Kobe, Japan
Kobe is renowned for Kobe beef, but this city of over 1½ million people has one of the biggest concentrations of foreign residents in Japan, which is reflected in its cosmopolitan atmosphere and collection of residences built in a distinctly non-Japanese style. Many Christian churches, Shinto and Buddhist temples and shrines, two famous statues of Buddha, a fine arts museum, and a municipal museum with a collection on Western cultural contact are in Kobe.

The line "you can't do bioinformatics if you haven't worked in a wet lab", has been used as the basis for the "you need to know where the data comes from" argument time and time again. I actually saw this in print in a slide presentation at the Next-Generation Sequencing Data Analysis conference in Providence, RI, in September 2008.
I can sympathize with this viewpoint, but I don't agree with it. For instance, I designed the data system, compiled the data, and did the field testing that certified a re-engined aircraft, but I can't pilot a plane. I did do a lot of field laboratory work and it was "wet" - if snow, sleet, and rain count, along with desert dust and volcanic ash.
Knowing where the data comes from is very important, but what is of more importance is whether or not the data is actually measuring what it is supposed to measure — data validity (are your instruments correctly calibrated and is the sampling rate sufficient), what is the format of the data, what is the size of the data, and to what sort of analysis will the data be subjected.
If the lab experience is so very important, a simple systems analysis is a very good tool to use. As I've done it, the observer/programmer/engineer would "live" in the lab for a period of time — usually two to four weeks, or until they have a good grasp of the processes involved, taking copious notes and asking lots of questions. That person may actually perform some of the work involved if desired.
This person should have some understanding of molecular biology, etc. to fully appreciate the lab experience.
This activity has the potential of illuminating possible bottlenecks or methods that may need modification or fine tuning. If more that one site is involved, so much the better, as discrepancies in processes will be made obvious.
My biological wet lab experience got me a "you have excellent lab technique" and a job offer, which I declined.
Bioinformatics training also comes into question. Many courses just help the student determine which internet site to go to for information, or how to construct a FASTA-formatted sequence, or parse a BLAST output or a GenBank report. They can't do much except offer a survey of things "bioinformatic". Not much time is spent on information management or engineering approaches.
I jumped from engineering to bioinformatics in the early 90's. The object-oriented data model I presented apparently found an audience. I did some reading up on genetics, etc. before the interview, but most of the knowledge used to answer interview questions such as, "what are the four basic building block of life", came from watching X-Files. Things have gotten a lot more complicated (the textbooks have gotten heavier), and keeping up with new discoveries can become quite a task.
Next week I will offer a series of "horror stories", or some of my experiences in the bioinformatics arena.
Welcome to LifeFormulae's official Blog site. Thank you for checking us out. Feel free to post comments for us, including any topics you would like us to cover. The purpose of this blog is to bring current events within the life sciences and bioinformatics communities to the forefront of our thoughts, to stay up-to-date on what's going on in the research community, and to create a forum of discussion about the ever-changing environment to which we, as researchers, have become accustomed.
As you may know, Cambridge Healthtech Institute's Data-Driven Discovery Summit 2008 was held in Rhode Island at the end of September. We had so many great conversations and were introduced to so many great people, we wanted to make sure those conversations continued. There were so many questions that covered diverse topics, we couldn't find room on our website to answer them all comprehensively. So, we decided that we wanted a built-in community to foster communication on any topic related to bioinformatics, or any sub-topic beyond that.
We all read the industry newsletters and follow the latest publications when we get to them, but we want you to be able to ask questions about the topic, share feedback, let people know how it's affecting you, vent, enlighten, inquire, observe, remark, express yourself.
At LifeFormulae, we have some every-day people who have been in the business for over 20 years. We think you might like what they have to say. If you don't, just let us know. Nothing would make us happier. We plan to have alternating bloggers, as well as a few guest bloggers from time to time (let us know if you're interested). We'll try to keep it interesting (and pertinent), but remember that feedback always helps!


When it comes to increasing police accountability and transparency it's policy, not technology, that does the heavy lifting. Police body cameras, tools that are overwhelmingly popular among the public, are sometimes cited as a valuable resource for addressing police misconduct and secrecy. They can be, but only if the right policies are in place. Absent policies that balance privacy interests with the need to increase police accountability, body cameras are surveillance tools. The risk of body camera surveillance is especially pronounced at a time when a major body camera manufacturer is doing more work on artificial intelligence, a development that may result in the widespread use of police body cameras with real-time facial recognition capability.
According to reporting by The Wall Street Journal, the merger of body camera and facial recognition technology is months rather than years away.
I've written on this blog before about why body cameras with facial recognition capability are a threat to civil liberties. I'm hardly alone in highlighting this threat. Axon's leadership is clearly aware of the concerns raised by civil libertarians and has convened an AI Ethics Board. Yet it seems as if this board will have little if any impact on Axon's development of technology that poses a significant risk to civil liberties.
An "Ethics Board" sounds like the kind of body a company that builds surveillance equipment and weapons should have. However, Axon's AI Ethics Board lacks any kind of authority to ensure that the company's products aren't used unethically.
Yesterday, a coalition of civil rights groups wrote a letter to the Axon AI Ethics Board outlining their well-founded concerns. The letter calls for board members to assert themselves and oppose real-time facial recognition on body cameras, consult with community members with direct experience with the criminal justice system, limit sales to law enforcement agencies with appropriate body camera policies, and ensure that they have an oversight remit that covers all of Axon's digital products.
Members of the AI Ethics Board, which includes eight volunteer civil liberties, AI, and criminal justice experts, do not currently have the authority to veto Axon products. A functional ethics board should be free to halt products or at the very least publish reviews of all Axon devices.
If Axon's ethics board guaranteed that only departments with policies that increase accountability and transparency while also protecting civil liberties could buy Axon products the company would sell fewer body cameras. Dozens of America's largest and most prominent police departments fail to implement praiseworthy body camera policies. For example, an Upturn examination of 75 police department body camera policies found that the Baltimore Police Department is the only department with strict limits on body camera footage being analyzed with facial recognition software, and that not a single department requires officers to write a report before reviewing body camera footage related to any incident. Giving the AI Ethics Board the power to dramatically affect sales is one of the reasons that Axon is unlikely to adhere to the recommendations in the recent coalition letter.
In all likelihood, Axon will continue to sell products that can, if governed by poor policies, erode civil liberties. Although Axon is signaling that it's concerned about the ethical implications of its products, it doesn't look as if its ethics board will prevent the proliferation of body cameras that will become known as tools of surveillance, not police accountability. In order for body cameras to achieve their potential as tools that improve policing it's policymakers rather than private companies who will have to implement necessary changes.
noted in December, however, the Justice Department has promised Congress that it will voluntarily adopt some of the measures that had been floated in those reform bills—which would be a fine thing in itself, but I worried that the move seemed calculated to reduce the impetus for binding legislation.
In the absence of a major scandal, though, it's hard to see why we should expect the incentives facing legislators to be vastly different a year from now. Heck, we've had a pretty big scandal involving the misuse of National Security Letter powers, but even right on the heels of the Inspector General's report documenting those abuses, the mildest reforms proffered last year died on the vine. I'd love to be proven wrong, but I suspect this is how reining in the growth of the surveillance state becomes an item perpetually on next year's agenda.
National Public Radio's All Things Considered ran a series on "The End of Privacy" all last week that's worth a listen. They're primarily concerned with the ways private companies have access to vast quantities of information about individuals in the digital age—something that civil libertarians have traditionally been less concerned about than government access, for many perfectly valid reasons. But it's worth noting how porous that distinction can be. A 2006 survey by the Government Accountability Office found that just four government agencies—the Justice Department, Department of Homeland Security, State Department, and Social Security Administration—spent at least $30 million annually on contracts with information resellers like Choicepoint. The vast majority of that data (91%) was used for law enforcement or counterterror purposes. And GAO found that the resellers weren't always in full compliance with the privacy practices that the agencies themselves are supposed to follow.
Choicepoint, coincidentally, is one of the largest clients of the consulting firm run by former Attorney General John Ashcroft. Little wonder given the amount of cash at stake: As reporter Tim Shorrock has documented, some 70 percent of our vast intelligence budget is channeled through private-sector contractors, which means that we need to understand government surveillance policy in the context of a "surveillance-industrial complex" that parallels the more familiar military-industrial complex known for bringing us $600 toilet seats and other forms of pork in camo gear. It's worth bearing in mind that it's not just investigatory zeal and public fear driving the expansion of the surveillance state—a lot of people are making a lot of money off it as well.


That code snippet shows another nuance. You have to CALL LABEL to introduce a label. To use the label in an instruction, you have to surround it with percent signs.
Of course, as a practical matter, you could use gcc to build a proper assembler. But where's the sport in that?
I've read that this was possible, but couldn't ever find an implementation anywhere.
There's no link to the actual hack. Only to a previous HaD article and one on GCC.
Not sure why that happened. Fixed now, although [rnjacobs] put the link in the comments (thanks).
It's pretty easy to write an assembler in PERL, which runs on just about every platform there is.
Of course a clean MS-DOS install doesn't have Perl.
Right! BASICdefinitely would have been a better choice.
Microcode for the STUPID computer. The examples are not for the X86 architecture. Sorry if that was confusing.
It's a clever hack, though not a very useful one. He has 143 batch files totaling 2403 lines at 580 KB! For reference MASM 6.11 minimal command line run-time including linker and librarian is 700 KB. Sure one *could* use edlin or copy con to enter all 2403 lines by hand rather than copying over MASM on a floppy.. but .. ? And presumably an earlier version of MASM or another assembler would be smaller. And most of the batch files are not simple. It would be as tedious to enter the printed hex dump of a working assembler in debug as to hand enter the batch files (for a true boot-strap experience).
Nevermind. Batch files are 49KB. But a upx'd version of MASM.EXE 3.01 is only 40KB (+13K for LIB.EXE and +23K for LINK.EXE). I'd rather type in the hex dump.
Such luxury to have DOS to bootstrap an assembler.
In the days long before the internet there was no such thing as code distribution or sharing except for some pages in a magazine that were usually written in hex.
If you wanted and assembler then you had to write one in hex. That being such a daunting task led people to tackle a disassembler first as it was much easier to write as the input is far better defined and you don't have to store a lot of variables and it's simply a single pass process.
By the time you have finished writing a disassembler you know how to convert every mnemonic to hex from your own memory or thinking the process though as the op-code decoder does so there is no longer any real need to write an assembler.
So every time someone asks you if you have finished the "assembler" that you once said you would write, you just answered "not yet" while you are programming directly in hex without telling them you no longer intend to.
Somehow, I really don't miss typing in code from PC magazine, Byte or Popular Electronics.
You're missing the point. The *ONLY* way you could get the functionality written about was to enter it into the computer yourself. It was a GREAT way to get young minds into programming.
Now you just download it and use it, but never learn anything from it.
But then MSDOS is not for REAL Computers, isn't it?
Sure is. Complete control system from a PC tossed in the junk, courtesy of LPT, DOS, and QBasic.
And timing is predictable. OS doesn't get in your way. Real time system.
I once wrote a realtime fairly high speed datalogger in assembly using debug. The little .com streamed the contents from the LPT buffer to a file on the HDD along with a time stamp in CSV. Found I could double the write speed if I removed the loop to close the file. The way to stop datalogging was to power down.
Of course, the system then complained of a corrupted file system on reboot. A very simple program that was then written and called on boot to properly close the file. Worked pretty well on curbside (dumpster grade) 286 machines back in the day.
Great job! Few years ago I made a crude oscilloscope for the LPT. It had 500 000 samples/second acquisition speed. But I only got there after I started using very tight GOTO loop :) in compiled QBasic, instead of LOOP/FOR/WHILE structured cr.p. Some other optimizations were needed as well. But the thing flew.
I've read it back and forth a few times but couldn't find a worked example. Come on, a hello.com file that prints "hello, world"?
Thanks! They seem to have fixed the article too.
I never doubted your debug.com skills, RÖB ;) But the article is about using command files. They have fixed the link now.

* Senior club appearances and goals counted for the domestic league only and correct as of 17:21, 9 January 2014 (UTC).
Carl Neil Fletcher (born 7 April 1980) is a Welsh professional former football player and manager, currently employed as youth team manager at Bournemouth. As a midfielder Fletcher represented Wales at senior international level for five years, scoring one goal in 36 appearances.
Having made his professional debut for Bournemouth in 1998, Fletcher went on to play for West Ham United, Watford, Crystal Palace, Nottingham Forest and Plymouth Argyle, making 414 appearances in league competition and scoring 34 goals. Born in Camberley, Fletcher retired from playing in 2012 to focus on his role as manager of Plymouth Argyle. He resumed his playing career in October 2013 with Barnet.
After playing football for Oakdale Middle School (1988–1992), Fletcher moved onto being Captain of his local football team in Poole, Dorset. Fletcher started his career at Football League club Bournemouth, making his debut in February 1998 as a 17-year-old. He made 185 league starts for the south-coast club, including captaining the side to a 5–2 victory over Lincoln City in the 2003 Division 3 playoff final and scoring 2 of the goals himself, before earning a move to West Ham United in 2004 for £275,000.
Fletcher then played in the Premier League after West Ham won promotion the season he signed for them. He also had a month-long loan spell at Watford. Upon his return from Watford in October 2005, he made 12 league appearances for West Ham. On 13 May 2006, Fletcher was drafted into the West Ham team to face Liverpool in the FA Cup Final due to the suspension of Hayden Mullins.
The FA Cup final proved to be his last competitive match for the Hammers, however, as he signed for Crystal Palace in that summer, for £400,000. He was immediately appointed as captain by manager Peter Taylor. After Neil Warnock took over, the captaincy went to Mark Hudson. Fletcher captained Wales for the first time on 28 May 2009 against Iceland. However, he was substituted after just 41 minutes after damaging his ankle ligaments.
After Neil Warnock was appointed as manager Fletcher found first-team opportunities limited, starting many games on the substitutes bench, which eventually led to Fletcher and team mate Paul Ifill being placed on the transfer list in August 2008. Fletcher was signed on loan by Nottingham Forest in October of that year due to their ever-growing injury list. However, he only made five appearances in this period and due to a problematic back injury, was sent back to Palace.
Fletcher signed a monthlong emergency loan deal with Plymouth Argyle on 20 February 2009, scoring on his debut against Sheffield United. A string of commanding performances led to the loan being extended a month later until the end of the 2008–09 campaign. Following his release by Crystal Palace in May 2009, Fletcher signed a two-year contract with Plymouth. Having been made captain by Paul Sturrock, he led the team in this role throughout his time as a player with the club. Fletcher extended his contract by 12 months during the summer of 2011. He retired from playing at the end of the 2011–12 season in order to focus on management.
Fletcher resumed his playing career in October 2013 when he joined Conference Premier side Barnet. Prior to signing a contract he trained with the club during pre-season and also spent time back at Bournemouth. He made six appearances, three in the league, before being released in January 2014.
Fletcher was appointed caretaker manager of Plymouth Argyle on 19 September 2011, a day after Peter Reid was sacked by acting chairman Peter Ridsdale. The club was taken over by Akkeron Group at the end of October and Fletcher immediately became the club's full-time manager, having won two and drawn one of his seven games as caretaker. He signed a one-year rolling contract at the end of the 2011–12 season and retired as a player. "I have enjoyed playing. There have been highs and lows, and tough days and good days, but it's on to a new era in my life," he said to The Herald. "I'm starting again and trying to build my reputation up as a manager now." Fletcher was sacked on 1 January 2013 after a run of eight defeats in 13 league games left the club 21st in the League Two table. In a tearful post-match interview with BBC Radio Devon, he said that "since I've been down here we've been through a lot, that's football really. I might be a young manager but I know if you don't win games you don't keep your job."
Fletcher was appointed youth team manager at Bournemouth on 15 January 2014 after leaving Barnet.

Красноярська гідроелектростанція імені 50-річчя СРСР — розташована на річці Єнісей, за 23 км від Красноярська, поблизу міста Дивногорськ, Красноярський край, Росія. На 2013, є 8-ю за потужністю серед нині діючих гідроелектростанцій у світі і тимчасово (після аварії на Саяно-Шушенській ГЕС) — першою за потужністю ГЕС в Росії. Входить до Єнісейського каскаду ГЕС. У комплекс ГЕС входить, зокрема, єдиний в Росії суднопідіймач.

Загальні відомості

Красноярська ГЕС спроектована інститутом Ленгідропроект. На станції працює 500 осіб.
Будівництво ГЕС почалося в 1956, закінчилося у 1972. Перший блок Красноярської ГЕС був пущений 3 листопада 1967.

Склад споруд ГЕС:
 гравітаційна бетонна дамба довжиною 1065 м і висотою 124 м, складається з лівобережної глухої греблі довжиною 187,5 м, водозливної — 225 м, глухої руслової — 60 м, станційної — 360 м і правобережної глухої — 232,5 м.
 пригребельної будівлі ГЕС довжиною 360 м і шириною 31 м.
 Установки прийому і розподілу електроенергії— 220 кВ і 500 кВ.
 Суднопідіймач з підхідним каналом в нижньому б'єфі.

Всього при будівництві тіла греблі було укладено 5,7 млн м³ бетону. Висота верхнього б'єфа при ППР становить 243 м над рівнем моря, нижнього — від 141,7 до 152,5 м. Допустима висота відроблення водосховища від ППР становить 10 метрів. Максимальна пропускна здатність водоскиду при паводку становить 14 тис. м³/сек, сумарна максимальна пропускаючи здатність гідровузла — 20600 м³/сек Розташування створу греблі відповідає площі водозбору — 288200 км², середньорічний приплив становить 88 км³, що відповідає середній витраті води 2800 м³/сек

Потужність ГЕС — 6000 Мвт. Середньорічне виробництво електроенергії — 19,6—20,4 млрд кВт·год, через нерівномірність припливу (до 40 км³) може змінюватися на 30 %. У будівлі ГЕС встановлено 12 радіально-осьових гідроагрегатів потужністю по 500 МВт, що працюють при розрахунковому напорі 93 м. Гідротурбіни розташовані на позначці 139,5 ± 1 м НРМ, мають зовнішній діаметр робочого колеса 8,65 м і масу 240 т кожна

Гребля ГЕС утворює велике Красноярське водосховище. Площа водосховища близько 2000 км², повний і корисний об'єм 73,3 і 30,4 км³ відповідно. Водосховищем було затоплено 120 тис. га сільськогосподарських земель, в ході будівництва було перенесено 13 750 будівель.

Для пропуску суден споруджений єдиний на 2010 в Росії суднопідіймач. Тоннаж суден що пропускаються суднопідіймачем Красноярської ГЕС може досягати 1500 т.

Хронологія будівництва

 14 липня 1955 — наказом № 152 Міністерства будівництва електростанцій для споруди Красноярської ГЕС на Єнісеї створено спеціалізоване Будівельно-монтажне управління будівництва «Красноярскгесстрой».
 23 вересня 1955 — Державна комісія затвердила Шуміхінську браму для будівництва Красноярської ГЕС.
 1956 — на місці колишнього Знам'янського скиту почав будуватися Дивногорськ.
 8 серпня 1959 — у перемички котловану першої черги відсипані перші кубометри скельної породи.

Економічне значення

Собівартість 1 кВт · год електроенергії Красноярської ГЕС у 2001 році становила 2,2 коп. Рентабельність ГЕС більше чим в 2 рази вище рентабельності теплових електростанцій і на 2012 перевершує рентабельність практично усіх гідроелектростанцій на території Росії, за винятком Братської ГЕС

85 % електроенергії Красноярської ГЕС споживає Красноярський алюмінієвий завод (Русал). Частина що залишилося електроенергії надходить в енергосистему Сибіру.

Наслідки створення

При проектуванні ГЕС були допущені екологічні помилки. Зокрема, передбачалося, що незамерзаюча ополонка матиме довжину 20 км. У реальності вона становить майже 200 км (далі Красноярська), що має сильний вплив на екологію та клімат. Клімат став м'якішим, а повітря вологішим завдяки величезній кількості води, яка накопичується в Красноярському морі. Єнісей у районі Красноярська перестав замерзати. Крім того, ГЕС критикується за великі площі затоплених цінних земель і значну кількість переселеного населення.

Водосховище затопило землі Ємельяновського, Даурського, Новоселовського, Краснотуранського і Мінусинського районів Красноярського краю, Боградського, Усть-Абаканського районів Хакасської АО. Загальна площа — 175,9 тис. га. У зону затоплення потрапило 132 населених пункти, в тому числі 3 райцентри (Даурськ, Новоселово, Краснотуранськ), підлягало переселенню 60 000 чоловік, перебазування десятки підприємств.
