Everybody Hurts
Emo pin-up Chris Carraba feels like crap so you don't have to

Sometime in your life, you've been dumped. Might as well admit it: Sometime in your life, someone has made you feel stupid and ugly and dumb and left you all alone. You cried. Maybe you drank yourself stupid. And you hurt -- in fact, you knew that no one had ever hurt as badly as you were hurting right then.
No one but Dashboard Confessional.
Dashboard Confessional (for all intents and purposes, the band consists of singer/songwriter Christopher Carraba) specializes in finding that pain of rejection, digging it up and holding it up to the light so you can recognize it as your own. Armed with just an acoustic guitar (and of late, a backing band), Carraba gets onstage and bares every raw little detail of his rejections and losses, sometimes allowing his voice to come perilously close to sobbing. Why would anyone want to listen to that?
"Everybody [gets hurt], and maybe it helps just to know that someone else has been there first," says Carraba. "Nobody slits their wrists at one of our shows. People come to see us and sing along, and they leave feeling better."
Apparently it's working. Dashboard's latest full-length, The Places You Have Come to Fear the Most, has been gaining popularity for more than a year now, boosted mainly by word of mouth and heavy MTV2 rotation for the video "Screaming Infidelities," which won the inaugural M2 Award at MTV's Video Music Awards last month.
That word of mouth has mostly been passed through teenagers, who, like the recently dumped, are more open to the naked emotion that Carraba pours into his songs (as Bart Simpson once said of the Smashing Pumpkins, "Making teenagers depressed is like shooting fish in a barrel"). Teenagers are also more susceptible to a romantic, idealistic view of people that allows them to be crushed that much more thoroughly by human frailties such as betrayal.
"Maybe you're just more open to a level of purity at that age," Carraba says of his teenage fans. "That age group has such a strong passion for music, for finding music that they can relate to. They want to connect. Music just doesn't seem that important to people once they enter 'the real world.'"
The more jaded adults of the world might also be uncomfortable with the lack of subtlety in Dashboard's music. You always know what Carraba is singing about, and yes, it's that girl again (asked whether he's over the girl yet, he says, "Sometimes"). But it's the obsessive nature of the songs that reveals some of Carraba's strongest gifts: He has the scorned lover's eye for minutiae, as when, in the chorus for "Screaming Infidelities," he sings to an unfaithful lover, "Your hair/Is everywhere." Other times, Carraba goes beyond the average listener's comfort zone with his extravagant pining, such as on "Living in Your Letters": "Breathe deeply from this envelope/It smells like you/And I can't be without that scent."
Carraba realizes that his music can seem a bit dour. "But I really think there's a hopeful aspect to the songs," he says. "The earlier songs were hurt and angry, yeah. The newer songs are a bit more happy. But the harsh songs are even harsher."
Although humor doesn't find its way into Dashboard songs very often, Carraba doesn't take himself too seriously. His publishing company is called Did She Ask About Me? Music, and he's nothing but amused by seeing himself on MTV or in Teen People.
"I think levity is important. My humor is mostly self-deprecating," says Carraba. Carraba didn't wind up strumming an acoustic guitar and singing about girl troubles by way of the usual route. In fact, outside of the guitar, he's far removed from the folksy singer/songwriter cliché. With his shirtsleeve tattoos and a vintage T-shirt, he'd look more at home with a hardcore band, like the ones he used to be in before his secret passion for solo songs got the best of him. His association with the indie-rock scene usually means that Dashboard Confessional never shares a stage with anyone with a similar sound. Early on, Carraba would walk onstage alone with an acoustic guitar to open for hardcore legends H2O; the current tour has the loud and raucous Hot Rod Circuit opening for him.
Against all odds, Carraba wasn't murdered by outraged hardcore fans. Instead, he built a following among people who normally spurn ballads and softness in music. Whatever it was that led H2O fans to accept Carraba, the level of emotional commitment that his quiet songs share with aggressive hardcore is the same element of his music that's gotten Dashboard Confessional lumped into the ever-more-meaningless genre known as emo.
"I do my best not to rally against it," Carraba says of the emo label. "It's just silly. I don't see how you can fit us all into a category like that. But I don't stand on a flagpole and shout about it."
Coming up from the underground to newfound mainstream success can mean alienating old fans, who can be extremely protective of their idols. When Carraba decided to try playing with a full band instead of simply sitting on a stool alone onstage, the reaction from some fans was similar to that of the folkies when Bob Dylan plugged in his guitar.
"I don't think we've lost too many fans. As long as what I'm doing is real, our fans are going to listen," says Carraba, who considers his band's mantra to be "Our music isn't for everybody, it's for anybody."
"If someone only liked my music when I was onstage by myself, which I still do sometimes, then it's fine if they don't want to listen anymore. That's their opinion. But I'm always looking for a way to make my songs more impactful, more beautiful, and playing with a band gives the music a fuller sound.
"I make my music for myself," Carraba continues, "and if someone doesn't like what I'm doing, that's fine. It's if I tried to make my music for other people instead of myself, that would be a problem. That's the kiss of death."

I just can't muster the energy to get the MRI pics online tonight. It has been a long day for me. I woke at 5am and had a hectic day at work where I learned that I'm going to be heading up a project. We finally traced down the extension request paperwork and it was never submitted for approval. I got the last piece of paperwork in the packet and gave it to the folks that will send it up to the Army for approval. I think we should hear something within two weeks. I came home, cooked dinner and had to take care of some other paperwork. Busy night!
I reached a deal with the ad agency on the video – I signed an agreement a few days ago and got a purchase order yesterday. I fired off the invoice and should see the payment soon. The company that is using the video is called Wieden & Kennedy. They have offices here in the states (and all over the world), but the office that I'm working with is in Amsterdam. W+K is the same company that created all the cool Nike ads in recent history. Everything from "Just do it" and "Bo Knows" to Tiger Woods' "Hackeysack" commercials to Lance Armstrong's "Magnet" commercial. They also did some very cool Honda, Coca-Cola, Miller and ESPN television ads. Check out their website where you can watch some of the full length ads. Anyway, they will be using my building implosion video for what they call an email 'viral' ad for video game company Electronic Arts. Specifically, it will be used for an EA Sports videogame: FIFA 07 Soccer. I have no idea how they are going to use the video, but they said that when they finish the ad they'll send me a link that I should be able to share with you.
I'm so totally pooped and need to get to bed. I should have time this weekend to get the MRI pics posted. Thanks for hanging in there with me this week – it's been a bit hectic.

Steven Tyler Claims He's Spent at Least $5 Million on Cocaine
Steven Tyler apparently did a lot of cocaine in his day. The former American Idol judge claims on Australia's 60 Minutes that he spent at least $5 million on cocaine over the years, TMZ.com reports.
"Probably, realistically, $5 or $6 [million] easy," he says. "You could also say I snorted half of Peru, but, you know, it's what we did."
American Idoljudges meet a blast from the past in Oklahoma City
His cocaine abuse is no secret. Tyler, who sobered up in the '80s, was forthcoming about his addiction in a 2011 interview with Matt Lauer, telling the Today anchor that he "needed that cocaine."
Tyler recently appeared on Idol as a faux contestant named "Pepper." Check out the video here.

District Consultation Council (DCC)
District Curriculum Coordinating Committee (DCCC)
Districtwide Enrollment Management Advisory Committee (DEMAC)
Institutional Effectiveness Coordinating Council (IECC)
District Technology Committee (DTC)
Council on Budget and Facilities (CBF)
Organizational Groups
The North Orange County Community College District follows a collegial and transparent governance process, where the Board of Trustees, faculty, staff, administration, and students work together in the decision-making process. Campus-based and District-wide governance groups meet regularly to assess current practices and develop recommendations.
Types of Groups that Develop Recommendations
The NOCCCD groups that provide recommendations in the decision-making process are organized into three categories based on the group's responsibilities and its source of authority. The groups in all three categories are essential to the NOCCCD community in that they create opportunities for constituencies to be informed about issues of District-wide importance, making decisions, and serving as conduits of information to and from the constituents.
Governance Groups
Examples of District-level governance groups are District Consultation Council and Council on Budget and Facilities. Examples of campus governance groups are Academic/Faculty Senates and Associated Student Government. Members of District-level governance groups represent specific constituencies and as such, serve as a liaison to bring information from the constituent group into the District-level dialogue and from the District-level governance group back to their constituents. Recommendations developed by District and campus governance groups flow through a sequence of well-defined steps before the recommendations are forwarded to the Chancellor.
Organizational groups assist the Chancellor in implementing the Board's plans and policies by coordinating operational, procedural and policy implementation. The authority for the members of organizational groups is derived from the Board of Trustees or the Chancellor through the assignment of responsibilities on job descriptions and appointment to positions within NOCCCD. Examples of District-level organizational groups are Chancellor's Staff and the Banner Steering Committee. Membership in NOCCCD organizational groups is determined by the position held within the District.
Ad Hoc Workgroups
Ad hoc workgroups are formed to create a venue for conversations on topics deemed by NOCCCD to require timely and concentrated District-wide energy. Instead of being required by law or regulation, these groups are charged by the Chancellor or one of the Coordinating Councils to perform specific functions that benefit the entire District. Ad hoc workgroups function for a specific purpose for a limited period of time. Membership in an ad hoc workgroup is either voluntary or by appointment.

The Lions' Den () is an independentist armed Palestinian group operating in the Israeli-occupied West Bank. The group emerged in August 2022, a year of increased in shooting and stabbing attacks on Israeli civilians and soldiers, and takes is moniker from Ibrahim al-Nabulsi, a prominent militant from Nablus, nicknamed The Lion of Nablus, killed in July during an Israeli raid.   It comprises members of other Palestinian militant organizations, traditionally opposed by Fatah, including Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad, and disafffected or younger members of Fatah.  is reportedly based in the Old City of Nablus.

Hello, i am using a RPi3 for Marine Navigation in combination with a HDMI LCD from Waveshare. In Night its very heavy to look on the Display... Would there a possability to install F.Lux on the Rpi?
@Cruppellarius Yes, but I cannot recommend f.lux, unless you'd like to run it through Wine. A good alternative that got updated and finally accurate color tables since 1.9 is redshift, and it does an excellent job of matching f.lux on settings that I have tried such as 5500K and 2700. I hope the f.lux has time to work on the linux build when they get done with windows and mac variants.

In the midst of a major disaster, pets can easily become stressed. Dogs and cats thrive on comfort and familiarity, and natural disasters often bring a whole host of unfamiliar sights and sounds.
Strange smells, sudden loud noises, water where it shouldn't be, and other out-of-the-norm experiences can frighten pets. And try as a loving pet owner might, it's next to impossible to explain to a dog or cat what is happening and that it's over now.
To comfort pets who may have been rattled by Hurricane Harvey or Irma, it's important for pet owners to understand how pets perceive disasters and learn what they seek as comfort, says Clive Wynne, an Arizona State University professor of psychology.
Exhibiting avoidance behavior. Avoiding people or other dogs, not making eye contact, hiding, tail tucking, or turning away.
Abnormal panting. If it's not especially hot and your dog is panting with its ears pinned back and low, your dog could be experiencing some stress.
Frequent yawning. Paired with either of the above behaviors, frequent yawning can be attributed to stress.
Destructive behaviors. In an attempt to ease their stress, your dog may try to bite you or other objects. If the aggressive behavior is followed by abnormal facial expressions, frightened body posture, or submissive behaviors, it's highly likely that your dog is nervous.
A reunion between two people often involves a warm embrace, but most pets don't enjoy tight hugs as much as humans, says Wynne.
"It may be tempting to hug a dog or cat tightly when you are distressed, especially if you have become separated. But not all animals enjoy being hugged," said Wynne, who is a dog behavior scientist.
So what should you do to help a distressed pet when their world has seemingly been turned upside down? Make an effort to put it right side up again.
"Safety equals familiarity," says Wynne. "As soon as possible, help pets feel safe by restoring their familiar world. This includes the social world, where reunion with beloved family members is very important, but also the physical world."
Pet owners who were displaced by Hurricane Harvey or Irma should try to bring some of the objects from the pet's home world, if possible. Familiar toys, bedding, food bowls, and other comfort objects can help ease a pet's stress in times of turmoil. Owners should also walk thier dogs in less crowded places after a trauma.
If your dog doesn't snap back to their usual self following a stressful event, consult with your vet to discuss a plan for getting your pet back to normal.

High carbon steel is very difficult to cut, bend and weld. Once heat treated it becomes extremely hard and brittle. This article is the first of a four-part series on the different types of steel. Read Part 2 to learn more about Alloy Steel grades and its attributes.
CPM REX 54 HS is a cobalt-bearing high speed steel designed to offer an improvement in the red hardness of the popular M4 grade, while maintaining wear properties equivalent to M4. CPM REX 66 (HSS) is a super high speed steel made by the CPM process.
Ultimately, the different types of steel used in knife blades each exhibit varying degrees of these five key properties: Accordingly, it has very similar properties and characteristics to the 154CM and in general represents a high quality steel which has become very popular with knife makers.
Laminated construction is important because it allows different grades of steel to be combined in a single blade. A simple way to think of this type of construction is to imagine a sandwich: The meat center is hard, high carbon steel and the pieces of bread on either side are the lower-carbon, tough side panels.
STEEL TYPES What are the different types of steel? A36 is the standard construction steel.This is a low carbon steel without heat treat. The hardness is about 150-180 Brinell. A36 is not suitable for any type of target use.
This is much like the concept of laminating wood which produces a stronger piece of material. Usually two or more different types of steel are used in the layers so the characteristics of each type will contribute to the necessary qualities that are desired for a high quality knife blade.
210mm gyuto stainless damascus with 19c27 core, wenge handle. For instance Devin Thomas is a master Damascus steel maker. He forges every billet himself and has the process down to a science.
In addition to the descriptive steel grade naming system indicated above, within EN 10027-2 is defined a system for creating unique steel grade numbers. While less descriptive and intuitive than the grand names they are easier to tabulate and use in data processing applications.
Different Types of Steel Buildings No matter your building needs, Worldwide Steel Buildings can custom design and prepare a steel building kit just the way you want it. Check out the building types below, or get started designing your own custom metal building with our 3D Designer .
They are produced with high quality materials and stay sharp after years of use. There are different types of Japanese knives that are used in different cutlery purposes and hopefully you will get a better understanding of just why they are so popular with both professional & amateur cooks on the planet.
Steel wire armoured cable are more expensive than steel tape armoured cable. Because steel wire armoured cable is more difficult to produce, swa cable cost is more high. In general, the difference between SWA cable and STA cable is small. You should choose different types of armoured cables depending on the environment you use.

You all know the name, LeBron James. He is a superstar, not only in basketball but in other areas of popular culture too. As well as being a superstar, he is also a huge Liverpool FC fan. He is such a fan, he decided to buy a minority stake in the club. Not only does he love Liverpool, he is also good friends with PSG sensations Neymar and Kylian Mbappe alongside rubbing shoulders with David Beckham.
Kobe Bryant and Joga Bonito
The late great Kobe Bryant was openly a big fan of soccer, wearing various shirts in the past from clubs like AC Milan and FC Barcelona. After growing up in Italy, he adpoted AC Milan as is club but he also fell in love with FC Barcelona. The reason being? Ronaldinho. Bryant said "I'm a big soccer fan to begin with and watching Ronaldinho just captivated me".
Same here, Kobe. Same here.
The Gooner, James Harden
James Harden was the NBA's most expensive player once upon a time and he enjoys soccer from time to time. Harden kicked a ball about with the Arsenal squad as well as enjoying Champions League games here and there. Alongside his basketball compadre, LeBron, Harding also invested into as soccer club when he bought a minority stake in the group that controls MLS side Houston Dynamos and NWSL club Houston Dash.
Carmelo Anthony and Bringing Soccer Back
New York Knicks legend Carmelo Anthony made so much money through his career as an NBA star that he decided to invest it back into sport but not his beloved basketball. Instead, he bought Puerto Rico FC and vowed to 'bring soccer back' to the area. Sadly, Puerto Rico FC haven't played a game since 2017 following the troubles with the NASL. Despite that, Anthony's love for soccer remains and he has stated in the past that he's been a fan for a long time.
Steven Nash Supports the Spurs?
Not the San Antonio Spurs, no. Tottenham Hotspur is the Brookyln Nets coaches favorite soccer team and has been for a long time. His dad and grandfather both grew up in North London supporting Spurs, which played a big part in Nash's devotion to the club. He even went onto train with the club in London and attends various games now and then. Sometimes you can't help who you support and this is no different. Sorry, Steve.
Steph Curry's Best Mate, Neymar
Steph Curry is a two-time NBA MVP and three-time NBA Championship winner. With this pedigree and superstar status, it comes as no surprise when you find out his soccer team is Paris Saint Germain. A superstar club and brand filled with big names. One of which, Neymar, Curry is friends with. You will sometimes catch Curry down the Parc Des Princes, kicking off the game or cheering on the Brazilian but you will also see Neymar sitting courtside at Golden State Warriors games.
Kevin Durant's Philly Union
Brooklyn Nets star Kevin Durant is a huge name in basketball and like his fellow sportspeople, LeBron James and James Harding, he decided to invest his massive earnings into soccer. Just like Harding, Durant turned to the MLS to buy a minority stake (said to be around 5%) in the club. KD said he 'has always been a fan of soccer' and we love to hear it.
Dwayne Wade is a member of the #LBFSquad!
We had to finish this list off with another nod to this. Dwayne Wade lives and breathes futbol and we can't blame him. The movement is rocketing. If D-Wade is rocking LBF, who's next?
Soccer and basketball will intertwine forever, with both sides being fans of the other. What crossover would you like to see? Let us know on our socials.

Q: How to limit current of a generator? I have a diesel generator that I'm feeding as backup power to a smart Growatt solar off-grid inverter.
The solar inverter accepts up to 100A input AC on 220V but the generator starts failing if it works at 100A. At 60A it works fine. So I'm wondering how could I limit the output current of the generator to 60A.
The inverter has the possibility of changing the input AC current. Unfortunately, it has, what I suppose it is a bug, in which the input AC current is fixed to 100A when using lithium batteries.

A: I know this first part seems off-topic, but it's actually the crux of your problem.
Use approved equipment according to their instructions.
Every jurisdiction I am aware of requires that you use equipment approved by the jurisdiction for quality and reliability.  That means UL, CSA, BSI, TUV, etc. etc.
Particularly, the CE mark is only valid on items purchased from EU manufacturers with significant bricks-and-mortar business presence in the EU.  (which is to say, NOT companies whose factory is in China and their EU 'presence' is a drop-box in Hamburg).
If you do this, the approved equipment will handle the generator issues for you, as it will be built (and certified) to do this.
Hire a licensed electrician and system integrator if you need help with this.  An electrician is not an electrical engineer, but a person who specializes in working with household/commercial AC power.
Looking at the Google results for this item, it appears to be cheap Chinese that is not in any way whatsoever certified to any western safety standard.  Three individual wires coming through a hole into 3 screw-down terminals, with no raceway or strain relief - that's not UL White Book and I'm sure it won't pass muster under European standards either.

The documentation for these units is extremely ambiguous, and full of "Engrish".  And it does not cover some of the use-cases claimed in the sales literature, including yours.  The unit appears to be extremely poorly supported. But I guess that's why you're here, right?
So this seems like a support issue from the company, and I would either turn to the manufacturer or your seller for support.  If that support is nonexistent, your best bet may be to send it back and buy from a company which has a support department.  Like Schneider.
I did notice they claim a 10-20 millisecond switchover time from running "on utility" to running "on inverter".  That suggests to me that it has a UPS-like relay that switches between the two.  If the inverter accepts generator output as valid grid power (big if), then it will have switched over to "utility" (read: generator) and will be passing generator power straight through.  So it doesn't appear to blend: the output is either on generator, or inverter, it is not mixing inverter with generator.  Thus the loads driven by the inverter are part of the total load on the generator.
I am very surprised to hear of a battery charger drawing 100A of 230V. That is a staggering amount of power for a battery charger (23KVA), and a battery would need to be very large (Tesla car?) to accept charge that fast.
PSA: "Grid Tie" inverters won't play with a generator
The vast majority of solar inverters, and all "micro inverter" solar panels, are "grid-tie" / "grid-following".  They are designed to monitor/test for the characteristics of a stable utility grid, and only generate when that grid is present. That is so do not 'back feed' onto the grid and electrocute linemen trying to repair the lines.
People sometimes try to use a small generator to trick grid-tie inverters / microinverters into powering up and augmenting the generator.  Forget it - it will never work. The panels are not fooled.  Generator power is too irregular, and the loads do not have an impedance anything like a grid. Also, the solar inverter is generating only 240V - which will not feed 120V properly at all - the grid-tie inverters expect there to be a utility pole top transformer which would derive two poles of 120V from the 240V.
For that to work, you need a grid forming inverter which is specifically designed to spoof those grid-tie inverters into powering up.

A: Current limiting on generators is only useful in special occasions. This is not one of them. In fact, it's even dangerous.
Current limiting, if implemented, is done by the voltage regulator. It will lower the voltage, and then typically ohms law applies and the current reduces.
Reasons where current limit is used:

*

*Motor starts, big motors that take many seconds to come to speed. Of course during this the voltage will drop a lot. For example, big pumps at water processing plants and their emergency generators.

*Transformer in-rush testing, the same reason as above. Brand new or long time unused big transformers require magnetization current, you can't do that direct online. Rentals with current limit enabled are used for this.

Reasons why it's dangerous in other places:

*

*Current will also be limited in a short circuit. This will prevent fuses or circuit breakers from tripping, never clearing the short circuit causing fire.

*Inverters don't follow ohms law properly, they will want to convert the same power, and therefor the current will increase regardless. So it won't even work.

What you want to do:

*

*Power limit the inverter.

*Speed droop the motor, so the inverter trips out at some point.

A: Realistically, you can't limit the current without the voltage and/or frequency collapsing.
A fuse or circuit breaker would protect the generator, but that's a rather extreme form of current limiting.

Teen missing from mental health center later found at home
By GEOFF CUNNINGHAM Jr.
Oct 29, 2008 at 3:15 AM Oct 29, 2008 at 5:18 AM
PORTSMOUTH — A disturbed teen who went missing from Seacoast Mental Health, was located by local police on Tuesday after an extensive search that ended with him being found at his home.
The 16-year-old boy — reported as being suicidal — was found unharmed and taken to the hospital for evaluation, according to police.
"We are all very relieved he was found safely and is getting the treatment he needs," said Portsmouth Police Capt. Janet Champlin following the Tuesday search.
Champlin said the situation arose at approximately noon when authorities were notified that a 16-year-old who had been at Seacoast Mental Health at 1145 Sagamore Avenue, left there abruptly on foot. She said it was reported the boy was suicidal and a danger to himself.
Members of the Patrol and Detective divisions, including Officer Michael Kotsonis and K-9 "Titan," began a search of the immediate area. The "A Child is Missing" protocol was activated by Portsmouth police and dispatchers fielded phone calls from the public regarding this case in addition to handling regular calls for service.
"A Child is Missing" protocol — which has been in effect since March of 2006 in Portsmouth — utilizes a rapid response telephone system to alert residents in a targeted area about a missing child, elderly person or mentally challenged or disabled individual. Recipients are asked to call police with information about the missing person that is given.
Champlin said it differs from Amber Alert, which is only used in child abduction cases.
After an intensive search of the area and follow-up investigation that lasted close to three hours, the boy was located back at his residence in Portsmouth by Detective Robert Munson. Police say the boy had crawled through a back window.
The teen was transported to the hospital for evaluation and he appeared to be unharmed, according to police.
Champlin credited the finding of the boy to the "excellent" collaboration displayed by patrolmen, detectives and the K-9 unit working the case.

Арка́дий Ра́фикович Саркися́н (р. 23 февраля 1959) — российский политический деятель. Депутат Государственной Думы пятого созыва (с 2007), член фракции ЛДПР. Представитель от Верховного Совета Хакасии в Совете Федерации России (2001—2006).

Биография
В 1976—1994 годах служил в военно-морском флоте. В 1981 году окончил Высшее военно-морское училище имени Нахимова. На момент увольнения был заместителем начальника штаба базы Балтийского флота. Уволился после вывода кораблей Балтийского флота из Прибалтики в звании капитана II ранга.

В 1994 году руководил московской фирмой «Алинвест», скупавшей акции Саянского алюминиевого завода. С 1995 года — заместитель генерального директора АО «Саянал». В 1995—1996 годах — заместитель генерального директора, глава службы безопасности ОАО «Саянский алюминиевый завод».

В январе 1997 года был назначен первым заместителем председателя Правительства Республики Хакасия.

21 февраля 1997 года депутат Думы от ЛДПР Евгений Логинов заявил на заседании, что Саркисян, будучи начальником службы безопасности Саянского алюминиевого завода, «устроил фактически концентрационный лагерь и, помимо просто преступной криминальной деятельности, проводил деятельность по ущемлению и дискриминации русского населения, вместе с хакасским меньшинством организовывал на предприятиях террор против русских. Была даже установлена официальная такса, когда за донос на любого русского Саркисян выплачивал 360 тысяч». Саркисян отверг обвинения и обратился в суд с иском о защите чести и деловой репутации, потребовав взыскать с Логинова 500 млн руб. По словам Саркисяна, он был начальником службы безопасности около трёх месяцев, а «из десятитысячного коллектива завода хакасов меньше полусотни и ни один из них не является должностным лицом».

С 1999 года — член совета директоров ОАО «Саянский алюминиевый завод». С 26 апреля 2000 года — вице-президент компании ООО «Группа "Сибирский алюминий"», которая управляла акциями Красноярского, Саянского и Братского алюминиевых заводов.

С 29 ноября 2000 года — заместитель генерального директора — исполнительный директор ОАО «Горьковский автомобилестроительный завод» (ГАЗ). В январе—июне 2001 года — член совета директоров ОАО «ГАЗ». С 15 февраля 2001 года по апрель того же года — первый заместитель генерального директора, исполнительный директор ОАО «ГАЗ».

26 апреля 2001 года избран представителем Верховного Совета Республики Хакасия в Совете Федерации. Был заместителем председателя комитета по вопросам безопасности и обороны. С 13 марта 2002 года — член Комиссии Совета Федерации по естественным монополиям.

2 июня 2006 года Совет Федерации на основании заключения Комиссии Совета Федерации по регламенту и организации парламентской деятельности постановлением № 154-СФ досрочно прекратил полномочия Саркисяна.

В 2007 году избран депутатом Государственной думы пятого созыва по федеральному списку ЛДПР (региональная группа № 81: Ханты-Мансийский автономный округ — Югра, Ямало-Ненецкий автономный округ). Вошёл в состав фракции ЛДПР.

В декабре 2011 года назначен руководителем строительного бизнеса компании «Базовый элемент».

В конце октября 2018 г. принадлежащая Саркисяну А. Р. компания ООО «Либра Холдингс» приобрела девелоперский холдинг «Главстрой», ранее входивший в промышленную группу «Базовый Элемент» Олега Дерипаски.

Образование
В 1999 году окончил Хакасский университет им. Катанова по специальности «юриспруденция». Кандидат экономических наук (диссертация по теме «Антикризисное управление предприятиями: региональный аспект» защищена в 2000 году в Санкт-Петербургском государственном университете). В 2002 году окончил факультет переподготовки и повышения квалификации при Военной академии Генерального штаба.

Награды
Награждён юбилейными медалями «70 лет Вооружённых Сил СССР», «300 лет Российскому флоту», медалями за выслугу лет.

Donna Brazile Tells Americans: 'Be a Smart Shopper' with Inflation Concerns
While giving advice regarding inflation, Democratic strategist Donna Brazile appeared on ABC News with host George Stephanopolous and Governor Chris Christie, and stated that Americans should be "smart shoppers" in order to save money. She suggested shopping in bulk at places like Costco or Sam's Club.
Partial transcript:
STEPHANOPOULOS: And, Chris, one of the things the White House is counting on, that if they are able to pass this bipartisan — well, it's the bipartisan infrastructure bill takes hold, and if they are able to pass Build Back Better, the economy will show more benefits across the board by the midterms.
CHRISTIE: See, the problem, George, is that — let me give you a couple of examples of what normal people really care about. I mean, first, they go to the gas station, and as much as the Biden administration is against fossil fuels, until further notice we're going to be using them. And they reason they don't open up the strategic reserves is because they don't want to expose themselves on the far left green flank. And so they don't want to do that because that would be encouraging fossil fuels, God forbid. So they go to the gas station and the prices are way too high.
I will tell you something, my wife just told me three days ago. She walked in from the supermarket and she picked up a big pack of toilet paper and she said to me, do you know how much this costs me today? $29. $29.
BRAZILE: Did so go to Costco?
CHRISTIE: She wasn't at Costco. She was at the supermarket.
But here's the thing, normal people who go out there and they see they're paying $29 for that, guess who they're blaming? They're blaming Joe Biden.
STEPHANOPOULOS: It's those supply chain issues.
BRAZILE: Oh, God, inflation has been going up for the last three years. I go to — I go to Safeway —
CHRISTIE: Come on, Donna.
BRAZILE: I go — look, look, you've got to be —
CHRISTIE: Not 6 percent (ph).
BRAZILE: Look, you — you've got to be smart when you go out and shop today, OK, whether you're looking for Jiffy cornbread, which used to be three for $1 and it went up to 87 cents, or if you're buying gas. And if you're buying it in the inner city, it's 10 cents more than if you go out just further out.
George, the pain —
CHRISTIE: Well, is that — wait, is that the Democratic slogan?
BRAZILE: No.
CHRISTIE: We're going to raise your prices, but be smart about it. It could be a little bit less?
BRAZILE: No, where your — you mentioned Mary Pat —
CHRISTIE: Run on that.
BRAZILE: You mentioned Mary Pat.
COASTON: Coupons.
BRAZILE: I'm just telling you my experience with shopping. You've got to be a smart shopper. My mom had nine children and she always said, you had to make grocery (ph).
Look, George, the bottom line is tomorrow Joe Biden will sign a very historic piece of legislation. I pray and hope that in addition to giving a pen to Nancy and to Chuck and Manchin that he give it to Bill Cassidy and those 13 Republicans in the House who are now facing death threats because they want to fix their roads, they want to fix their bridges and they want broadband for their kids.
Christie seems to be the only one in that conversation who actually has some sense.

Moving on with life, your pets will be gradually keeps on increasing their growth in terms of size, height and weight of their body too. If they are lying on floor, it will be quite uncomfortable relying on it due to the change of weather especially and may easily fall sick too. Some dogs are even more provided with orthopedic beds to stay away dogs from arthritis, joint pains etc related health problems.
In order to provide bone support and muscle support and balance to all the parts of your dog body in a relaxation mode, a best bed is mandatorily provided apart from feeding and putting them clean. As we all know that a sleeping position only gets rid of all the pains and acts as a repair to your body.
The specific design of dog beds will let your dogs be provided from insulation and eventually protects them from harsh weather or cool weather too. Otherwise they will fall a sick easily as their skin is utmost sensitive and gets addicted to all the weather conditions and effected easily too.
By giving your dog a special place will let you sleep happily. Otherwise they will use yours and eventually they pretend for your company also to sleep with you. The only advantage is, if you provide them a special place, they will go happily and sleep comfortably when time commences during a day or night instead of unnecessarily scolding or shouting at them if they occupies your space or bed.
Conclusion: Hence dog beds importance is well and simply described in a sequential manner as the only theme of this usage of beds for dogs is about a sleeping position is essentially a key factor and purposely used accordingly.

One of the most important components of healing is recognising the powerful connection between your mind and your body. Studies show that stress and negative emotions can cause a physical reaction (ever get a headache when you're arguing with a friend?) that can slow your body's ability to heal. On the flip side, positive thinking and feelings can help you recover quickly.
Apart from external disease factors, uncontrolled and suppressed emotions and habitual tension or stress (worry, prolonged irritability and frustration) result in a de-vitalised or weakened energy body which becomes susceptible to all kinds of infections, inflammations and other diseases.
Stress healing involves a natural energy being channelled through me to the client.
The principles of healing stress-induced disorders are the same as with all energy-healing methods such as Reiki and Crystal healing. The stress healing is made up of four sessions, involving a relaxation technique then a healing session, sometimes just energy or sometimes also with crystals.
Healing takes place by placing my hands around the body of the recipient at a small distance. Sometimes crystals can also be used. The recipient should feel warm, comfortable and relaxed throughout the treatment. They will leave the treatment with an enhanced feelings of wellbeing and calm.
My Stress Healing therapy costs £50.

Q: Eigen Matrix Decomposition. Jordan not working I am applying Jordan decomposition, but I am uncertain whether matrix $M$ can actually be decomposed.
Let $J=MDM^{-1}$, where $D$ is the diagonalized matrix and $M$ is the matrix made of the eigenvectors.
Jordan decomposition states that if a $N\times N$ matrix has $N$ eigenvalues then matrix $J$ can be decomposed into diagonalized matrix $D$.
The below matrix has $3$ eigenvalues and $3$ columns and rows. However I cannot seem to apply Jacobian decomposition.
$$ J =
    \begin{bmatrix}
    1-p & 1-p & 0 \\
    p & 0 & 1-p \\
    0 & p & p \\
    \end{bmatrix}
$$
with eigenvalues
$$
    \begin{bmatrix}
    1 & \sqrt{p-p^2} & -\sqrt{p-p^2} \\
    \end{bmatrix}
$$
where p is probability between 0 and 1.
The matrix gives eigenvalues $$(p-1)(p-p^2)^2=0$$ which give matrix $M$ which is made up of eigenvectors
$$ M =
    \begin{bmatrix}
    1 & 1 & 1 \\
    p/(1-p) & \frac{p-1-\sqrt{p-p^2}}{(1-p)} & \frac{\sqrt{ρ-ρ^2}+p-1}{1-p} \\
    \frac{P^2}{(1-p)^2} & \frac{\sqrt{p-p^2}+1-p}{(1-p)(p+\sqrt{p-p^2})} & \frac{\sqrt{p-p^2}-1+p}{(1-p)(p-\sqrt{p-p^2})} \\
    \end{bmatrix}
$$
I cannot seem to find the diagonal $M^{-1}$ of the above matrix. This is because there is no $0$ (zero terms).
Does this simply mean that the diagonalized matrix is made of complex terms?

Q: How can I send additional web page metadata to my Cordova app other than URL? I'm currently using this Cordova plugin to share a webpage url from a web browser to my Cordova Android app, which works as expected.
I'd like to know if it's possible to amend the WebIntent.java file to retrieve more metadata from the webpage (such as description/tags meta content, og tags, etc), add it to the intent and send it to my app. Failing that, how might one go about achieving this?

A: In the end I decided to leave the plugin as is and fetch the shared url's page metadata separately using this approach:

*

*Load the shared url in a hidden InAppBrowser window.

*When the page has finished loading and the loadstop event is fired, call inAppBrowser.executeScript function to run code that will return the loaded page's DOM as a string.

*Using the returned DOM, load it into a new DOMParser and then query it to pick out the desired metadata tags.

Automotive tire pressure detection system technology and application chip
This article refers to the address: http://
In today's world, many national highway safety associations have enacted legislation. The tire pressure monitoring system TPMS (Trie pressuremonitoring system) has a significant impact on improving vehicle safety, while its low-power, long-term operation in harsh environments is reliable. Sexuality, small pressure sensor error tolerance and longer working life are the key requirements of TPMS, so the design and chip selection of the solution also surround these requirements.
At present, there are three main implementations of TPMS, namely direct TPMS system, indirect TPMS system and hybrid TPMS being introduced. However, indirect TPMS has certain limitations. The direct TPMS directly measures the air pressure of each tire using a pressure sensor fixed in each wheel. These sensors then send the tire pressure data to the central microprocessor for analysis via the transmitter, and the results of the analysis are transmitted to the display mounted in the vehicle. The type of display differs from the simple tire pressure indicator assembled on most vehicles today, which shows the actual air pressure of each tire and even the air pressure of the spare tire. Therefore, directly including the slave task, the TPMS can be connected to the display. Tell the driver which tire is under-inflated and can detect a small air pressure drop. In order to meet the multi-tire pressure detection requirements, the hybrid TPMS can overcome the limitations of conventional direct TPMS due to the installation of direct air pressure sensors. They can detect two tires in the low pressure state on the same axle or on the same side of the vehicle. The system can also detect faults when all four tires are in low pressure.
This means that the MCU, sensor and RF transmitter are all packaged together. Compared to existing products, it integrates air pressure sensor, accelerometer, temperature sensor, 8051 microprocessor with on-chip flash memory, low frequency receiver interface and 315/433/868/91.5MHz RF transmitter. In addition to reducing the number of components, it also reduces overall system cost because the board design is simpler and smaller. Another important design challenge comes from wireless control. The first generation of TPMS transmitters were designed using the ASK modulation technique of the SAW resonator to produce the wake-up command issued by the node. The proper emission frequency of the student. Today's TPMS uses a crystal oscillator based FSK modulation method and a PLL synthesizer to generate center frequency and frequency pull.
This paper takes the scheme of distributed real-time tire pressure monitoring system based on LIN bus as an example, and introduces the new chip for TPMS.
I. Design of real-time tire pressure monitoring system based on distributed LIN bus
In order to achieve long-term (≥10 years) life expectancy, low-power integrated components must be used, and their power supply is the primary challenge (longer life under limited energy). These can reduce the power consumption of the entire system by using low-power pressure sensors, analyzing measured data and changing the working mode of the monitoring system and efficient data acquisition control algorithms in combination with the actual situation of the vehicle (blackout or operation).
The direct TPMS system is realized by MCU, RF and sensor. The schematic diagram of the TPMS scheme based on LIN bus is shown in Fig. 1.
The tire pressure monitoring system indicated by the practical TPMS is composed of four signal transmitters, a receiving antenna, a receiver and a signal display unit integrated with the tire valve. For this reason, it is necessary to introduce the relevant technology of the LIN bus for automotive applications.
1. LIN bus technology for automotive applications
(1) The main features of the LIN bus. For LIN1.0 (local interconnect network) and LIN2.0 bus systems for automotive applications, its goal is low-cost applications. In addition to the TPMS, there are electric doors, power windows, side mirrors, wipers, seat belt alarms, and external lighting. The LIN bus has a maximum transfer speed of 20kbps and supports up to 16 nodes in a single-channel bus loop. The bus cable can be extended up to 40 meters in length. The LIN bus is a single-wire serial communication protocol based on the general-purpose SCI (UART) byte interface. Figure 2 (a) is a block diagram of the UN bus API to the physical layer. The main features of the LIN bus are: a point of a main node, the concept of multiple slave nodes, without bus arbitration; low cost: based on ordinary UART/SCI interface hardware; self-synchronization, no crystal oscillator or ceramic oscillation in the slave node Clock; guarantees the delay time of signal transmission; low-cost single-wire connection; speed up to 20kbps; signal based on application interaction: LIN bus driver/receiver specification complies with IS09141 standard.
(2) LIN topology. LIN adopts single-master and multi-slave modes. A LIN network consists of one host node and several slave nodes (since too many nodes will cause the network impedance to be too low, the total number of nodes in a LIN network should not exceed 16). A host node includes both a master task and a slave node but only a slave task. Figure 2(b) is a schematic diagram of the LIN topology. The host node can also be connected via a gateway to other buses such as CAN.
2. Design of Real-time Tire Pressure Monitoring System Based on LIN Bus Distributed
Figure 1 depicts the overall structure of a TPMS based on the LIN bus. Among them, the central controller has three main functions: that is, the LIN bus is used to notify the LIN slave node to wake up the transmitting module in the corresponding tire; the LIN bus returns the data of the tire pressure received from the node; the analysis, display, and sound and light report . When the LIN receives the LIN master node from the node, it sends an LF wake-up signal to the transmitting module to let it enter the working state. The LIN master node sends a get command frame to the LIN slave node, and the LIN slave node feeds the data back to the LIN master node (master) through the LIN bus.
(1) Module and chip selection of tire internal pressure sensing IC and transmission IC synthesis 1) Module selection:
Since the pressure sensing IC in the tire and the module that synthesizes the IC are placed in the tire, the requirements on the IC are particularly high. Generally have the following requirements: operating temperature: -40 ° C ~ 125 ° C (150 ° C in a short time); low power consumption to maintain battery life; can withstand the centrifugal force of 2000G (250km / h) tire rotation; the sensor can maintain long-term Stable; IC small size, light weight; with pressure and temperature and voltage detection.
The pressure sensor IC is an IC that integrates pressure, temperature, voltage detection sensors, LF, and MCU. The transmitting IC is a series of RF transmitting chips.
2) Chip selection and characteristics
The left dotted line in Figure 3 shows the pressure sensor IC and the transmitting IC in the tire. They are freeseale's Mpxy8020A6 (or Mpxy8040A) chip and MC68HC90RF2 chip. Mpxy8020A6 contains pressure sensor, temperature sensor, power control and battery voltage detection, wake-up timer (surface micro-machined CMOS processing, SSOP package); and UHF transmitter + MCU (Flash) MC68HC90RF2 contains 2kB User FLashROM, timer, integrated RF (Rn transmitter, low voltage detection and RAM, and internal clock generator. The left dashed box in Figure 3 is a schematic diagram of the telemetry module synthesized by Mpxy8020A6A and MC68HC90RF2. The MC33591 on the right side of Figure 3 is a UHF receiver. It contains a phase-locked loop (PLL) UHF open-key control (OOK) receiver; the MC912DP256 receiver controller contains 256kB Flash, 12kB RAM, 4kB EEP ROM, up to 5CAN, 1xJ1850, 256MHz operating frequency.
Of course, the sensor IC in the tire can also choose Melexis MLx90603 chip. The biggest feature of MLx90603 is that it has different working modes: Shelfmode, Sleep mode, Runmode, Idlemode and TDMArrag Direct Mem for RFID and RF applications. Ory Access) mode. These offer the greatest possibility to reduce the power consumption of the transmitter and extend the battery life. In terms of transmitting ICs. Melexis has different frequency and modulation of lC and automotive grade ICs (1 for temperatures -40 ° C ~ 125 ° C), such as 315 MHz, 433 MHz, 868 MHz and 915 MHz and other ISM band bands: IC FSK, ASK and FM and other modulation ICs, It operates over a wide voltage range of 1.85V to 5.5V, and the transmit power can be adjusted from -12dBm to +10dBm.
(2) Receiver module and chip selection
For the central controller of the receiving node in the LIN network, as shown in Figure 1. Also available is the MLX82001, an MCU specifically designed for UN bus applications.
3. TPMS system software design ideas
The first factor to consider when designing a stable, efficient TPMS system is software. Because the wheel module usually uses a microcontroller to execute commands. Therefore, an intelligent algorithm should be used to achieve the expected effect. Second, the use of low frequency functions is a very effective way to control TPMS. When using the low frequency interface, the sensing module can always be in the power off mode, and the sensor will only perform measurement and data transmission after receiving the wakeup signal. In addition to reducing power consumption, the low-frequency interface has the flexibility and other advantages. For example, low frequency communication allows the system to send specific commands to the microcontroller via the low frequency interface. To recalibrate and position the tire. Here, the MLX90603 with LF (Low Frequency) interface as an example of the transmission module software design is described. The MLX90603 has an LF (LowFrequeney) interface. Therefore, the transmitting end can be in the sleep mode for most of the time, and wake up by the low frequency signal when needed, and then the measurement is performed and the measured data is sent to the corresponding LIN slave node through the TH720x transmitting chip. Figure 4 is a partial flow chart of the transmitting end.
In this solution, the TDMA (Tag. Direct Memory Access) module integrated in the MLX90603 is fully utilized. After the MLX90603 has collected the data, configure the registers required for TDMA and RF to enter the Sleep mode, and use the TDMA module to automatically transmit the data to be transmitted to the RF to fully save power. Since the transmitting work is in a harsh environment, in order to ensure reliable data transmission between the transmitting end and the receiving end. Considering the small amount of information and simple data in this application, we use information redundancy to ensure reliable reception of data (that is, one frame of data is sent N times). The number of transmissions N is dynamically adjusted according to the collected data.
Second, the selection of several types of chips in the new transmitter (remote control key) and receiver
1. Selection of the MAX1473 Receiver and the MAX7044 Transmitter
The RF receiver device (MAX1473) is the latest 300MHz to 450MHz ASK (Amplitude Modulated Modulation) RF receiver (average sensitivity -114dBm), which consumes only 5.5mA (typ) of current during normal operation. Built-in image rejection, eliminating the need for a front-end SAW filter. In sleep mode, the MAX1473 can start and send data in less than 250ps to ensure deeper sleep cycles and longer battery life. The MAXl473 operates from a 3V to 5V supply voltage.
The MAX7044 device in the transmitter is a transmitter that can output +3dBm ASK signals in a tiny 8-pin SOT package. When using a 50% duty cycle (such as Manchester code), only 7.7mA is required. The MAX7044 can be powered from a single lithium battery with voltages as low as 2.1V.
2. The MAX1471 block diagram and application of a two-channel receiver that captures both signals simultaneously
Using the MAX1471 dual-channel receiver (see Figure 5) to capture both signals simultaneously, it is possible to receive both ASK and FSK (frequency-converted data) with zero switching time between modes. For low-cost system designs that require both ASK and FSK decoding, the MAX1471 dual-mode receiver can also perform self-polling, and the device can maintain up to 8 minutes of sleep mode and wake up the microprocessor for further energy savings. The MAX1471 has a built-in voltage regulator for 3.3V or 5V, so it can operate at 2.4V.
It can be seen from the figure that the MAX1471 can also be used in receivers in automotive tire pressure monitoring systems.
A Power Cord, line cord, or mains cable is an electrical cable that temporarily connects an appliance to the mains electricity supply via a wall socket or extension cord. The terms are generally used for cables using a power plug to connect to a single-phase alternating current power source at the local line voltage-(generally 100 to 240 volts, depending on the location). The terms power cable, mains lead, flex or kettle lead are also used. A lamp cord (also known as a zip cord) is a light-weight, ungrounded, single-insulated two-wire cord used for small loads such as a table or floor lamp.
