Meet the Finnish CEO who wants to make plastic sustainable
by EuronewsA Finnish tech company is developing a new kind of plastic that is more environmentally friendly.
The company, Woodly Oy, has been working on a carbon-neutral plastic substitute that's made out of plant cells from sustainably managed forests.
While the product works just like regular plastic, it can also be used in the production of different kinds of recyclable packaging.
“Of course at the beginning, the prices will be a bit higher in comparison to the traditional fossil-based plastic,” CEO Jaakko Kaminn told Euronews.
“But what's important though is the value that's being created. It's our mission to exhilarate the shift towards a more sustainable future.”

CrisF31-Oct-19 09:28 AM
There are no limits on sizes, right?

but I guess you already know that
ooh so you have like thousands of rick and morty xD

Can’t get Rick. Faucet says sent but it never shows in beta wallet have tried now several times with same result. Had no trouble with Morty but Rick just doesn’t seem to want to arrive.
Sir Seven31-Oct-19 10:04 AM
@Yaconx Please wait a bit and retry, as stated above:
>> faucet is under drainer/abuser "attack" at the moment.
Artist31-Oct-19 10:16 AM
well that is unfair
if others get more from faucet then the stress test could get biased
Sir Seven31-Oct-19 10:18 AM
Swapped amount doesn't matter, it's about quantity of swaps. You can always trade 0.01 RICKs as example.
Similar issue with russian translation.
While it's just fine with at least 1080p screen resolution, on smaller screens(and so older devices) "MAX" button is too big, so it shrinks input field.
User-submitted screenshot:

It should be sufficient to change "МАКСИМУМ" to simply "МАКС" or even just keep it "MAX" as in english.

A lot of failed swap now

@smk762 - dracocanis ominator your leaderboard page does not register from which kind of device the swaps occur from right? Cause i can imagine that ppl have created desktop bots just to participate into winning this 777 kmd, phone users will have no chance in beating a bot spamming non stop trades with even 1 sec delay
Cryptoon31-Oct-19 11:06 AM
hmm, no sorry, it only complains about the certificate when opening the faucet from within the atomicdex app. When I open it in safari straight away it's fine

gigamesh31-Oct-19 11:28 AM
there's that bug with the MAX button which shows a crazy high number
i have 679099 RICK, except i dont
Cryptoon31-Oct-19 11:28 AM

In my country we use dots and comma's differently with large numbers. Confusing.


Unai Emery claims Granit Xhaka decided not to make Arsenal return against Leicester
The Gunners boss has already declared their trip to the King Power stadium a "must-win" fixture in the race for the top four, but they will be without their former captain
by Darren Wells, https://www.mirror.co.uk/authors/darren-wells/Unai Emery has revealed it was Granit Xhaka's decision not to return against Leicester this weekend.
The Swiss midfielder has not featured in any of Arsenal's last three matches after his outburst at Gunners fans in the clash with Crystal Palace last month.
Xhaka has since been stripped of the captaincy, with his Arsenal future now hanging in the balance.
And despite training all week, Emery claims that Xhaka is not in the right frame of mind for action on Saturday.
When asked at a press conference whether Xhaka would be back in the squad for the trip to the King Power stadium, Emery replied: "Not yet.
"I spoke with him on Tuesday about how he's feeling now and how he is in his mind.
"He's working well, he's training well, but he said to me that he's not feeling good enough at the moment to play. We are going to wait."
The timing of Xhaka's outburst has come at a bad time for Emery, with the Spaniard now under pressure to get a result at Leicester without his key midfielder, if they are to keep their top four hopes alive.
Emery said: "Is this must-win? Yes. But in our mind, for each match it is only to win.
“The most important is our mentality and going there thinking: ‘We are Arsenal.’ And we will go there with confidence and also strong in our mentality to be together to go to work against them."
Arsenal are said to be considering selling Xhaka in January as his relationship with the club's supporters remains fractured.
However they are concerned they may have to take a hit on the £30 million they paid for him in 2016, with other clubs aware of his current situation.
Newcastle are one of the sides linked with a move for the 27-year-old, but Toon boss Steve Bruce offered a surprised response when quizzed by reporters.
"Granit Xhaka?" Bruce said.
"Look, I was only in the job two weeks and I was linked with 42 players. So I am not going to comment on anybody else's players.
"He is a very good player."


What is the ITS Public Data Hub?
The ITS Public Data Hub provides a single point of entry to discover USDOT’s publicly available ITS research data, including connected vehicle data. By providing access to these data, the USDOT aims to enable third-party research into the effectiveness of emerging ITS technologies, preliminary development of third-party applications, and harmonization of data across similar collections. Data accessible through the ITS Public Data Hub is quality-checked, well-documented, and freely available to the public.
What data can I find on the ITS Public Data Hub?
The ITS Public Data Hub is home to over 100 data sets created using ITS technologies. The ITS Public Data Hub’s data sets contain various types of information, such as highway detector data, travel times, traffic signal timing data, incident data, weather data, and connected vehicle data. As the Connected Vehicle Pilots continue to progress, more preliminary data sets will become available to the public. Basic Safety Messages (BSMs) and Traveler Information Messages (TIMs) from a field test of the Wyoming DOT Connected Vehicle Pilot became available to the public in early 2018.

THE TRUMAN SHOW
Reviewed by Harvey Karten, Ph.D. Paramount Pictures Director: Peter Weir Writer: Andrew Niccol Cast: Jim Carrey, Laura Linney, Noah Emmerich, Natascha McElhone, Holland Taylor, Ed Harris
"Cue the sun... I am the creator..." announces Christof (Ed Harris), the director of television's longest running drama. Media bigwigs often have inflated views of themselves, but this guy seems to be going over the top. Is he bananas? Perhaps. On second thought, maybe WE are; we who spend so many hours each day watching the tube, carrying its fashions, its dialogue, its concepts of hip to such an extent that you can't blame those who put the images on the TV sets from thinking that they're gods.
More American homes have TVs than baths. Given that the tube outnumbers the tub, obviously television has a mighty big influence on us. The extensive authority of the home screen is the focus of Peter Weir's movie, written by Andrew Niccol and starring Jim Carrey in the second serious role of his checkered career.
"Truman" is about Truman Burbank (Jim Carrey), an unwanted baby who even in the fetal stage has been adopted by a corporation--a TV network company. Conceivably no better example of dramatic irony exists in any film ever made: The entire world knows that Truman's life--his friends, his wife, his job--is fraudulent, a big setup designed by Christof for the amusement of the entire earth. In Christof's wildly imaginative project, the network honcho constructs the world's largest stage set: an island peopled entirely by professional actors (with the exception of Truman, who is the only true man in the picture), antiseptic houses, an artificial ocean with occasional bursts of synthetic rain, 5,000 hidden cameras situated on the dashboard of Truman's car, on street lamps, and on the persons of the actors, a counterfeit insurance company which employs Truman and pays him (for all we know) in play money which is good only on the island. Even the sun, the moon, the sky and the clouds are man-made. No wonder, then, that Christof considers himself The Creator to a greater extent than even the producers and directors of blockbuster shows like Seinfeld and I Love Lucy. Truman unwittingly becomes the best-known face in the entire world, though he is the last to know this.
Like Sophocles's Oedipus who kills his father and marries his mother, only slowly realizing what he has done, Truman gradually and ever so overdue becomes increasingly aware of his condition. As the clues drop--first a mysterious stage lamp falls to the sidewalk in front of him, then he runs into his father who was allegedly drowned in a boating accident for which Truman was partly responsible--Truman bit-by-bit loses his all-American nice-guy demeanor. He becomes imperceptibly suspicious and angry with the realization that he is being manipulated by outside forces. During this time-- which forms the bulk of the 104-minute film--we in the audience who know more than the title character find quite a bit of humor in the proceedings, humor which only rarely shows itself as typical Jim Carrey shtick. In one scene Carrey's wife Meryl (Laura Linney) breaks into a conversation she is having with her husband to deliver a cocoa commercial, while in another instance she urges Truman to throw out his broken lawn mower and buy a new one (mentioning the brand he should favor). She announces a macaroni and cheese dinner with all the ecstasy of an actress delivering a 30-second commercial, and props up boxes of cereal on the kitchen table so that the brand name is seen by the worldwide audience. Much of the waggery revolves around attempts by the actors on the Eden-like island to dissuade Truman from leaving it, as this would be disastrous for the show. In a flashback, he tells his fifth-grade teacher that he'd like to be an explorer like Magellan, but the teacher responds, "You're too late: there's nothing left to explore." When Truman makes a mad dash for parts outside the control of the TV station, he is stopped; at one point by an "accident" at a nuclear station and at another by the mere presence of water which he has been afraid to cross since the "drowning death" of his father. When he visits a travel agent (also an actor) to book a flight to Fiji, where his college girl friend allegedly now lives, the agent assures him that there are no flights for at least a month. Posters around the office warn "this can happen to you" (featuring a plane hit by lightning) and urge travelers to take out large insurance policies because of the threat of airline terrorists and street gangs in distant locations.
If you can find more than one allusion to previous Carrey movies, you're good. The one evident reference occurs when Meryl is being driven by her husband at breakneck speed, asks "Can you slow down?" and gets the "Liar, Liar" answer, "Yes, I can."
Written by Andrew Niccol, who created the spirited sci-fi drama "Gattaca," "Truman" displays a great deal of the scripter's imagination. No other film in memory uses the concept of a human being who has spent the entire thirty years of his life in a plastic bubble to this extent or carries out the fanciful narrative in such a clever, appealing, and well- performed manner. We are led to believe that Truman could indeed be fooled into thinking his plastic existence, this shadow of a life on the wall of a Platonic cave, is the equivalent of a real, free-will experience.
Director Peter Weir has done a bangup job with Niccol's script with the invaluable help of Dennis Gassner's precious production design to convince us that Truman had no choice other than to stay on the island. The father's "drowning" gives him a phobia of crossing water, the travel agent a fear of flying, and his own wife and especially his best friend Marlon (Noah Emmerich) the suggestion that there really is no need to leave this paradise on earth. When one actress, Lauren (Natascha McElhone) takes pity on Truman and tries to reveal the truth, she is quickly spirited away and when he tries to go to Chicago, the bus is unable to start.
If you accept "The Truman Story" as one of the choicest recent examples of imaginative fiction, you will indeed have a wonderful experience in its throes. If however you try to decode it for The Meaning of Life as some critics have attempted, you will be disappointed, because as satire it does not work. Are its creators trying to say that television encourages voyeurism and destroys the celebrities it creates? If so, there is no reason to believe that the world's attention can be riveted on this very ordinary man living an uneventful life, one which, in fact, the producers want him to continue in that any dramatic changes in his nature could expose the conspiracy and end the 30-year-old show. Are its creators trying to say, as Christof declares, that we accept the reality of the world with which we're presented and that we prefer to live out our lives following the usual conventions, they misfire here as well. Truman is indeed determined to leave the island he knows so well but is prevented by the force--in some cases the traumas in his psyche, in others the artificially created violence of nature, in still others the barricades set up by "police." Forget about Major Meaning. This is not "Network" but a highly enjoyable romp featuring the very talented Jim Carrey, who fulfills Weir's promise as the best actor around for Truman's role. No other performer could as well have portrayed his determination coupled with vulnerability that allows us to suspend disbelief and enter one of the movie industry's finest creations of an artificial world. The great Italian playwright, Luigi Pirandello, would be most pleased by Weir and Niccol's take on the relationship between art and life. Rated PG. Running time: 104 minutes. (C) Harvey Karten 1998

(Delivered in San Francisco, March 23, 1900)
Whether it was fear or mere inquisitiveness which first led man to think of powers superior to himself, we need not discuss. ... These raised in the mind peculiar worship tendencies, and so on. There never have been [times in the history of mankind] without [some ideal] of worship. Why? What makes us all struggle for something beyond what we see — whether it be a beautiful morning or a fear of dead spirits? ... We need not go back into prehistoric times, for it is a fact present today as it was two thousand years ago. We do not find satisfaction here. Whatever our station in life — [even if we are] powerful and wealthy — we cannot find satisfaction.
Desire is infinite. Its fulfilment is very limited.. There is no end to our desires; but when we go to fulfil them, the difficulty comes. It has been so with the most primitive minds, when their desires were [few]. Even [these] could not be accomplished. Now, with our arts and sciences improved and multiplied, our desires cannot be fulfilled [either]. On the other hand, we are struggling to perfect means for the fulfilment of desires, and the desires are increasing. ...
The most primitive man naturally wanted help from outside for things which he could not accomplish. ...He desired something, and it could not be obtained. He wanted help from other powers. The most ignorant primitive man and the most cultivated man today, each appealing to God and asking for the fulfilment of some desire, are exactly the same. What difference? [Some people] find a great deal of difference. We are always finding much difference in things when there is no difference at all. Both [the primitive man and the cultivated man] plead to the same [power]. You may call it God or Allah or Jehovah. Human beings want something and cannot get it by their own powers, and are after someone who will help them. This is primitive, and it is still present with us. ... We are all born savages and gradually civilise ourselves. ... All of us here, if we search, will find the same fact. Even now this fear does not leave us. We may talk big, become philosophers and all that; but when the blow comes, we find that we must beg for help. We believe in all the superstitions that ever existed. [But] there is no superstition in the world [that does not have some basis of truth].  So [with] the superstitions — the little bits are true.
You see, the lowest sort of manifestation of religion came with the burial of the departed. ... First they wrapped them up and put them in mounds, and the spirits of the departed came and lived in the [mounds, at night]. ... Then they began to bury them. ... At the gate stands a terrible goddess with a thousand teeth. ... Then [came] the burning of the body and the flames bore the spirit up. ... The Egyptians brought food and water for the departed.
The next great idea was that of the tribal gods. This tribe had one god and that tribe another. The Jews had their God Jehovah, who was their own tribal god and fought against all the other gods and tribes. That god would do anything to please his own people. If he killed a whole tribe not protected by him, that was all right, quite good. A little love was given, but that love was confined to a small section.
Gradually, higher ideals came. The chief of the conquering tribe was the Chief of chiefs, God of gods. ... So with the Persians when they conquered Egypt. The Persian emperor was the Lord of [lords], and before the emperor nobody could stand. Death was the penalty for anyone who looked at the Persian emperor.
Then came the ideal of God Almighty and All-powerful, the omnipotent, omniscient Ruler of the universe: He lives in heaven, and man pays special tribute to his Most Beloved, who creates everything for man. The whole world is for man. The sun and moon and stars are [for him]. All who have those ideas are primitive men, not civilised and not cultivated at all. All the superior religions had their growth between the Ganga and the Euphrates. ... Outside of India we will find no further development [of religion beyond this idea of God in heaven]. That was the highest knowledge ever obtained outside of India. There is the local heaven where he is and [where] the faithful shall go when they die. ... As far as I have seen, we should call it a very primitive idea. ... Mumbo jumbo in Africa [and] God in heaven — the same. He moves the world, and of course his will is being done everywhere. ...
The old Hebrew people did not care for any heaven. That is one of the reasons they [opposed] Jesus of Nazareth — because he taught life after death. Paradise in Sanskrit means land beyond this life. So the paradise was to make up for all this evil. The primitive man does not care [about] evil. ... He never questions why there should be any. ...
... The word devil is a Persian word. ... The Persians and Hindus [share the Aryan ancestry] upon religious grounds, and ... they spoke the same language, only the words one sect uses for good the other uses for bad. The word Deva is an old Sanskrit word for God, the same word in the Aryan languages. Here the word means the devil. ...
Later on, when man developed [his inner life], he began to question, and to say that God is good. The Persians said that there were two gods — one was bad and one was good. [Their idea was that] everything in this life was good: beautiful country, where there was spring almost the whole year round and nobody died; there was no disease, everything was fine. Then came this Wicked One, and he touched the land, and then came death and disease and mosquitoes and tigers and lions. Then the Aryans left their fatherland and migrated southward. The old Aryans must have lived way to the north. The Jews learnt it [the idea of the devil] from the Persians. The Persians also taught that there will come a day when this wicked god will be killed, and it is our duty to stay with the good god and add our force to him in this eternal struggle between him and the wicked one. ... The whole world will be burnt out and everyone will get a new body.
The Persian idea was that even the wicked will be purified and not be bad any more. The nature of the Aryan was love and poetry. They cannot think of their being burnt [for eternity]. They will all receive new bodies. Then no more death. So that is the best about [religious] ideas outside of India. ...
Along with that is the ethical strain. All that man has to do is to take care of three things: good thought, good word, good deed. That is all. It is a practical, wise religion. Already there has come a little poetry in it. But there is higher poetry and higher thought.
In India we see this Satan in the most ancient part of the Vedas. He just (appears) and immediately disappears. ... In the Vedas the bad god got a blow and disappeared. He is gone, and the Persians took him. We are trying to make him leave the world [al]together. Taking the Persian idea, we are going to make a decent gentleman of him; give him a new body. There was the end of the Satan idea in India.
But the idea of God went on; but mind you, here comes another fact. The idea of God grew side by side with the idea of [materialism] until you have traced it up to the emperor of Persia. But on the other hand comes in metaphysics, philosophy. There is another line of thought, the idea of [the non-dual ¬tman, man's] own soul. That also grows. So, outside of India ideas about God had to remain in that concrete form until India came to help them out a bit. ... The other nations stopped with that old concrete idea. In this country [America], there are millions who believe that God is [has?] a body. ... Whole sects say it. [They believe that] He rules the world, but there is a place where He has a body. He sits upon a throne. They light candles and sing songs just as they do in our temples.
But in India they are sensible enough never to make [their God a physical being]. You never see in India a temple of Brahm‚. Why? Because the idea of the soul always existed. The Hebrew race never questioned about the soul. There is no soul idea in the Old Testament at all. The first is in the New Testament. The Persians, they became so practical — wonderfully practical people — a fighting, conquering race. They were the English people of the old time, always fighting and destroying their neighbours — too much engaged in that sort of thing to think about the soul. ...
The oldest idea of [the] soul [was that of] a fine body inside this gross one. The gross one disappears and the fine one appears. In Egypt that fine one also dies, and as soon as the gross body disintegrates, the fine one also disintegrates. That is why they built those pyramids [and embalmed the dead bodies of their ancestors, thus hoping to secure immortality for the departed]. ...
The Indian people have no regard for the dead body at all. [Their attitude is:] "Let us take it and burn it." The son has to set fire to his father's body. ...
There are two sorts of races, the divine and the demonic. The divine think that they are soul and spirit. The demonic think that they are bodies. The old Indian philosophers tried to insist that the body is nothing. "As a man emits his old garment and takes a new one, even so the old body is [shed] and he takes a new one" (Gita, II. 22). In my case, all my surrounding and education were trying to [make me] the other way. I was always associated with Mohammedans and Christians, who take more care of the body. ...
It is only one step from [the body] to the spirit. ... [In India] they became insistent on this ideal of the soul. It became [synonymous with] the idea of God. ... If the idea of the soul begins to expand, [man must arrive at the conclusion that it is beyond name and form]. ... The Indian idea is that the soul is formless. Whatever is form must break some time or other. There cannot be any form unless it is the result of force and matter; and all combinations must dissolve. If such is the case, [if] your soul is [made of name and form, it disintegrates], and you die, and you are no more immortal. If it is double, it has form and it belongs to nature and it obeys nature's laws of birth and death. ... They find that this [soul] is not the mind ... neither a double. ...
Thoughts can be guided and controlled. ... [The Yogis of India] practiced to see how far the thoughts can be guided and controlled. By dint of hard work, thoughts may be silenced altogether. If thoughts were [the real man], as soon as thought ceases, he ought to die. Thought ceases in meditation; even the mind's elements are quite quiet. Blood circulation stops. His breath stops, but he is not dead. If thought were he, the whole thing ought to go, but they find it does not go. That is practical [proof]. They came to the conclusion that even mind and thought were not the real man. Then speculation showed that it could not be.
I come, I think and talk. In the midst of all [this activity is] this unity [of the Self]. My thought and action are varied, many [fold] ... but in and through them runs ... that one unchangeable One. It cannot be the body. That is changing every minute. It cannot be the mind; new and fresh thoughts [come] all the time. It is neither the body nor the mind. Both body and mind belong to nature and must obey nature's laws. A free mind never will. ...
Now, therefore, this real man does not belong to nature. It is the person whose mind and body belong to nature. So much of nature we are using. Just as you come to use the pen and ink and chair, so he uses so much of nature in fine and in gross form; gross form, the body, and fine form, the mind. If it is simple, it must be formless. In nature alone are forms. That which is not of nature cannot have any forms, fine or gross. It must be formless. It must be omnipresent. Understand this. [Take] this glass on the table. The glass is form and the table is form. So much of the glass-ness goes off, so much of table-ness [when they break]. ...
The soul ... is nameless because it is formless. It will neither go to heaven nor [to hell] any more than it will enter this glass. It takes the form of the vessel it fills. If it is not in space, either of two things is possible. Either the [soul permeates] space or space is in [it]. You are in space and must have a form. Space limits us, binds us, and makes a form of us. If you are not in space, space is in you. All the heavens and the world are in the person. ...
So it must be with God. God is omnipresent. "Without hands [he grasps] everything; without feet he can move. ... " (Shvet‚shvatara Upanishad, III. 19.) He [is] the formless, the deathless, the eternal. The idea of God came. ... He is the Lord of souls, just as my soul is the [lord] of my body. If my soul left the body, the body would not be for a moment. If He left my soul, the soul would not exist. He is the creator of the universe; of everything that dies He is the destroyer. His shadow is death; His shadow is life.
[The ancient Indian philosophers] thought: ... This filthy world is not fit for man's attention. There is nothing in the universe that is [permanent — neither good nor evil]. ...
I told you ... Satan ... did not have much chance [in India]. Why? Because they were very bold in religion. They were not babies. Have you seen that characteristic of children? They are always trying to throw the blame on someone else. Baby minds [are] trying, when they make a mistake, to throw the blame upon someone [else]. On the one hand, we say, "Give me this; give me that." On the other hand, we say, "I did not do this; the devil tempted me. The devil did it." That is the history of mankind, weak mankind. ...
Why is evil? Why is [the world] the filthy, dirty hole? We have made it. Nobody is to blame. We put our hand in the fire. The Lord bless us, [man gets] just what he deserves. Only He is merciful. If we pray to Him, He helps us. He gives Himself to us.
That is their idea. They are [of a] poetic nature.  Their philosophy is poetry. This philosophy is a poem. ... All [high thought] in the Sanskrit is written in poetry. Metaphysics, astronomy — all in poetry.
We are responsible, and how do we come to mischief? [You may say], "I was born poor and miserable. I remember the hard struggle all my life." Philosophers say that you are to blame. You do not mean to say that all this sprang up without any cause whatever?    You make and mould your own life. You are responsible for yourself. Do not lay the blame upon anybody, any Satan. You will only get punished a little more. ...
[A man] is brought up before God, and He says, "Thirty-one stripes for you," ... when comes another man. He says, "Thirty stripes: fifteen for that fellow, and fifteen for the teacher — that awful man who taught him." That is the awful thing in teaching. I do not know what I am going to get. I go all over the world. If I have to get fifteen for each one I have taught!...
We have to come to this idea: "This My M‚y‚ is divine." It is My activity [My] divinity. "[My Maya] is hard to cross, but those that take refuge in me [go beyond maya]." (Gita, VII. 14.) But you find out that it is very difficult to cross this ocean [of Maya by] yourself. You cannot. It is the old question - hen and egg. If you do any work, that work becomes the cause and produces the effect. That effect [again] becomes the cause and produces the effect. And so on. If you push this down, it never stops. Once you set a thing in motion, there is no more stopping. I do some work, good or bad, [and it sets up a chain reaction].... I cannot stop now.
It is impossible for us to get out from this bondage [by ourselves]. It is only possible if there is someone more powerful than this law of causation, and if he takes mercy on us and drags us out.
And we declare that there is such a one - God. There is such a being, all merciful.... If there is a God, then it is possible for me to be saved. How can you be saved by your own will? Do you see the philosophy of the doctrine of salvation by grace? You Western people are wonderfully clever, but when you undertake to explain philosophy, you are so wonderfully complicated. How can you save yourself by work, if by salvation you mean that you will be taken out of all this nature? Salvation means just standing upon God, but if you understand what is meant by salvation, then you are the Self.... You are not nature. You are the only thing outside of souls and gods and nature. These are the external existences, and God [is] interpenetrating both nature and soul.
Therefore, just as my soul is [to] my body, we, as it were, are the bodies of God. God-souls-nature — it is one. The One, because, as I say, I mean the body, soul, and mind. But, we have seen, the law of causation pervades every bit of nature, and once you have got caught you cannot get out. When once you get into the meshes of law, a possible way of escape is not [through work done] by you. You can build hospitals for every fly and flea that ever lived.... All this you may do, but it would never lead to salvation.... [Hospitals] go up and they come down again. [Salvation] is only possible if there is some being whom nature never caught, who is the Ruler of nature. He rules nature instead of being ruled by nature. He wills law instead of being downed by law. ... He exists and he is all merciful. The moment you seek Him [He will save you].
Why has He not taken us out? You do not want Him. You want everything but Him. The moment you want Him, that moment you get Him. We never want Him. We say, "Lord, give me a fine house." We want the house, not Him. "Give me health! Save me from this difficulty!" When a man wants nothing but Him, [he gets Him]. "The same love which wealthy men have for gold and silver and possessions, Lord, may I have the same love for Thee. I want neither earth nor heaven, nor beauty nor learning. I do not want salvation.  But one thing I want: to love Thee, and for love's sake — not even for heaven."
Whatever man desires, he gets. If you always dream of having a body, [you will get another body]. When this body goes away he wants another, and goes on begetting body after body. Love matter and you become matter.  When I see a dog gnawing a bone, I say, "Lord help us!" Love body until you become dogs and cats! Still degenerate, until you become minerals — all body and nothing else....
There are other people, who would have no compromise. The road to salvation is through truth. That was another watchword. ...
[Man began to progress spiritually] when he kicked the devil out. He stood up and took the responsibility of the misery of the world upon his own shoulders. But whenever he looked [at the] past and future and [at the] law of causation, he knelt down and said, "Lord, save me, [thou] who [art] our creator, our father, and dearest friend." That is poetry, but not very good poetry, I think. Why not? It is the painting of the Infinite [no doubt]. You have it in every language how they paint the Infinite. [But] it is the infinite of the senses, of the muscles. ...
"[Him] the sun [does not illumine], nor the moon, nor the stars, [nor] the flash of lightning." (Katha Upanishad, II. ii. 15.) That is another painting of the Infinite, by negative language. ... And the last Infinite is painted in [the] spirituality of the Upanishads. Not only is Vedanta the highest philosophy in the world, but it is the greatest poem....
Mark today, this is the ... difference between the first part of the Vedas and the second. In the first, it is all in [the domain of] sense. But all religions are only [concerned with the] infinite of the external world — nature and nature's God.... [Not so Vedanta]. This is the first light that the human mind throws back [of] all that. No satisfaction [comes] of the infinite [in] space. "[The] Self-exisent [One] has [created] the [senses as turned] ... to the outer world. Those therefore who [seek] outside will never find that [which is within]. There are the few who, wanting to know the truth, turn their eyes inward and in their own souls behold the glory [of the Self]." (Katha Upanishad, II. i. 1.)
It is not the infinite of space, but the real Infinite, beyond space, beyond time.... Such is the world missed by the Occident.... Their minds have been turned to external nature and nature's God. Look within yourself and find the truth that you had [forgotten]. Is it possible for mind to come out of this dream without the help of the gods? Once you start the action, there is no help unless the merciful Father takes us out.
That would not be freedom, [even] at the hands of the merciful God. Slavery is slavery. The chain of gold is quite as bad as the chain of iron. Is there a way out?
You are not bound. No one was ever bound. [The Self] is beyond. It is the all. You are the One; there are no two. God was your own reflection cast upon the screen of Maya. The real God [is the Self]. He [whom man] ignorantly worships is that reflection. [They say that] the Father in heaven is God. Why God? [It is because He is] your own reflection that [He] is God. Do you see how you are seeing God all the time? As you unfold yourself, the reflection grows [clearer].
"Two beautiful birds are there sitting upon the same tree. The one [is] calm, silent, majestic; the one below [the individual self], is eating the fruits, sweet and bitter, and becoming happy and sad. [But when the individual self beholds the worshipful Lord as his own true Self, he grieves no more.]" (Mundaka Upanishad, III. i. 1-2.)
... Do not say "God". Do not say "Thou". Say "I". The language of [dualism] says, "God, Thou, my Father." The language of [non-dualism] says, "Dearer unto me than I am myself. I would have no name for Thee. The nearest I can use is I....
"God is true. The universe is a dream. Blessed am I that I know this moment that I [have been and] shall be free all eternity; ... that I know that I am worshipping only myself; that no nature, no delusion, had any hold on me. Vanish nature from me, vanish [these] gods; vanish worship; ... vanish superstitions, for I know myself. I am the Infinite. All these — Mrs. So-and-so, Mr. So-and-so, responsibility, happiness, misery — have vanished. I am the Infinite. How can there be death for me, or birth? Whom shall I fear? I am the One. Shall I be afraid of myself? Who is to be afraid of [whom]? I am the one Existence. Nothing else exists. I am everything."
It is only the question of memory [of your true nature], not salvation by work. Do you get salvation? You are [already] free.
Go on saying, "I am free". Never mind if the next moment delusion comes and says, "I am bound." Dehypnotise the whole thing.
[This truth] is first to be heard. Hear it first. Think on it day and night. Fill the mind [with it] day and night: "I am It. I am the Lord of the universe. Never was there any delusion.... " Meditate upon it with all the strength of the mind till you actually see these walls, houses, everything, melt away — [until] body, everything, vanishes. "I will stand alone. I am the One." Struggle on! "Who cares! We want to be free; [we] do not want any powers. Worlds we renounce; heavens we renounce; hells we renounce. What do I care about all these powers, and this and that! What do I care if the mind is controlled or uncontrolled! Let it run on. What of that! I am not the mind, Let it go on!"
The sun [shines on the just and on the unjust]. Is he touched by the defective [character] of anyone? "I am He. Whatever [my] mind does, I am not touched. The sun is not touched by shining on filthy places, I am Existence."
This is the religion of [non-dual] philosophy. [It is] difficult. Struggle on! Down with all superstitions! Neither teachers nor scriptures nor gods [exist]. Down with temples, with priests, with gods, with incarnations, with God himself! I am all the God that ever existed! There, stand up philosophers! No fear! Speak no more of God and [the] superstition of the world. Truth alone triumphs, and this is true. I am the Infinite.
All religious superstitions are vain imaginations. ... This society, that I see you before me, and [that] I am talking to you — this is all superstition; all must be given up. Just see what it takes to become a philosopher! This is the [path] of [Jn‚na-] Yoga, the way through knowledge. The other [paths] are easy, slow, ... but this is pure strength of mind. No weakling [can follow this path of knowledge. You must be able to say:] "I am the Soul, the ever free; [I] never was bound. Time is in me, not I in time. God was born in my mind. God the Father, Father of the universe — he is created by me in my own mind...."
Do you call yourselves philosophers? Show it! Think of this, talk [of] this, and [help] each other in this path, and give up all superstition!


103
Bless the LORD, O My Soul
OF DAVID.
1 Bless the LORD, O my soul,
and all that is within me,
bless his holy name!
2 Bless the LORD, O my soul,
and forget not all his benefits,
3 who forgives all your iniquity,
who heals all your diseases,
4 who redeems your life from the pit,
who crowns you with steadfast love and mercy,
5 who satisfies you with good
so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's.
6 The LORD works righteousness
and justice for all who are oppressed.
7 He made known his ways to Moses,
his acts to the people of Israel.
8 The LORD is merciful and gracious,
slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love.
9 He will not always chide,
nor will he keep his anger forever.
10 He does not deal with us according to our sins,
nor repay us according to our iniquities.
11 For as high as the heavens are above the earth,
so great is his steadfast love toward those who fear him;
12 as far as the east is from the west,
so far does he remove our transgressions from us.
13 As a father shows compassion to his children,
so the LORD shows compassion to those who fear him.
14 For he knows our frame;
he remembers that we are dust.
15 As for man, his days are like grass;
he flourishes like a flower of the field;
16 for the wind passes over it, and it is gone,
and its place knows it no more.
17 But the steadfast love of the LORD is from everlasting to everlasting on those who fear him,
and his righteousness to children's children,
18 to those who keep his covenant
and remember to do his commandments.
19 The LORD has established his throne in the heavens,
and his kingdom rules over all.
20 Bless the LORD, O you his angels,
you mighty ones who do his word,
obeying the voice of his word!
21 Bless the LORD, all his hosts,
his ministers, who do his will!
22 Bless the LORD, all his works,
in all places of his dominion.
Bless the LORD, O my soul!

2008 - On March 19th, Sir Clarke passed away due to respiratory complications and heart failure stemming from post-polio syndrome. Coincidentally, a massive gamma-ray bust reached Earth Earth just hours before Clarke's death (GRB 080319b) and set a new record as the farthest object that could be seen from Earth with the naked eye. It was suggested this even be named "The Clarke Event", but was deemed unnecessary as stated by Astronomer Phil Plait, "The poetic alignment of the two events is enough for me, to be honest."

Hi, after finishing my build, it is time to give back to the community and describe the best i can all that i have done.
What you will see here is nothing new of what is already done, if anyone wants to build something similar, adjusted to the specific need of the Portuguese electric company, that defines some crazy periods for low rate tariff, what needs to be done to count €/kWh is right here.
So lets begin:
First of all in order to know how everything works i ordered a emonTx V2 Kit and a RPI RF receiver from the store, assembled it and learned the inner works of it for some days. BUT somehow i managed to convince myself that 3 CT were not enough, and because i have ethernet right next no my fuse box, there was no need for the wireless stuff.
So a custom build was the solution, with:
- Arduino MEGA 1280
- 1x Voltage sensor (ADC 0)
- 8X CT Analog channels (ADC 2,3,5,6,8,9,11,12)
- Burden resistor of the CT at 68 OHM to increase resolution at 0-50AMP (i have máx 25 Amp at home)
- Ethernet with ENC28J60
I already had most of the parts laying around, only had to buy the transformer and the resistors and condensers for the analog input circuit. Even the inputs terminals were here - that's why i ditched the phone connectors - if you do not have a strong reason to do the same please don't do it!
Here it is front side
and back side
(the high voltage is protected with a big layer of hot glue)
Installed on the fuse box
The input circuit is the same as what is explained in the building blocks for the arduino, however how the whole system is powered is absolutely critical to get good measurements. You can see here (http://openenergymonitor.org/emon/node/10111) some really good advices on how to get proper power. My system is powered through a home alarm system that provides stable 12V. The 12V is stepped down to 7,5V with a DC/DC converter to power the arduino via DC IN. the arduino regulator outputs 5V for the board and feeds another external regulator that provides 3.3V to the ethernet chip. This way was the one that generated the least heat for the whole system and at the same time provided good reference and good measurements.
One problem i have is that CT channels 1, 4 and 7 have higher noise than the rest. They can go up to 20W without a CT attached to the circuit. The others CT channels 2,3, 5, and 6 are really really quiet, they read between -0.2W and 0.2W and average nicely to 0W.
this is the sketch running on the arduino mega, nothing new, reports direcly to emoncms and has some thresholds to get rid of the noisy readings

So everything smooth, but again i was not happy with this, had to get cost per kWh, with the real rates depending on the time of the day so read the forum and got the needed help, use addons on the emoncms or use crontab. I still did't setup properly a home server with emoncms (working on that) so crontab was my only choice. My NAS is awake 24x7, so it was easy to make it work. Too bad i'm not able to install emoncms on it.
The Portuguese Electricity company is really creative in setting the offpeak periods, on my case its everyday from 00:00 to 07:00, but on Saturday it gets really twisted. It bounces back and forth between offpeak and onpeak and has different periods if we are in the summer or if we are in the winter.
this is a possible solution that is working for a month now (removed absolute paths to make it easier to read):
New feed with 3 values:
- euro - tariff value in €/kWh - vazio - if offpeak: 1 otherwise 0 - cheio - if offpeak: 0 otherwise 1
My crontab:
# Bi-horario semana: 0 0 * * 1-5 root tarifa.sh vazio 0 7 * * 1-5 root tarifa.sh cheio # Bi-horario domingo: 0 0 * * 0 root tarifa.sh vazio # Bi-horario sabado: 0 0 * * 6 root tarifa.sh vazio 0 9 * * 6 root tarifa_verao.sh cheio 30 9 * * 6 root tarifa_inverno.sh cheio 0 13 * * 6 root tarifa_inverno.sh vazio 0 14 * * 6 root tarifa_verao.sh vazio 30 18 * * 6 root tarifa_inverno.sh cheio 0 20 * * 6 root tarifa_verao.sh cheio 0 22 * * 6 root tarifa.sh vazio
the argument in each call is the €/kWh, so every time the tarrif changes i only have to update these files:
# more vazio 0.120294 # more cheio 0.224213
the script itself is very simple and has two variants: one that runs at summer time and one that runs at winter time:
# more tarifa.sh #!/bin/sh set -e # exit if any error i=$(<$1) # load file # Determine the tariff period from the ending of the argument cheio=0; vazio=0; if [[ "$1" == *cheio ]]; then cheio=1; else vazio=1; fi; curl -s "http://emoncms.org/input/post.json?json={euro:$i,cheio:$cheio,vazio:$vazio}&apikey=XXXXXXXXXXXXX&node=1"
# more tarifa_inverno.sh #!/bin/sh set -e # exit if any error i=$(<$1) # load file # Determine the tariff period from the ending of the argument cheio=0; vazio=0; if [[ "$1" == *cheio ]]; then cheio=1; else vazio=1; fi; if date +%Z | grep BST &> /dev/null; then # summer time : else # winter time curl -s "http://emoncms.org/input/post.json?json={euro:$i,cheio:$cheio,vazio:$vazio}&apikey=XXXXXXXXXXXX&node=1" fi
# more tarifa_verao.sh #!/bin/sh set -e # exit if any error i=$(<$1) # load file # Determine the tariff period from the ending of the argument cheio=0; vazio=0; if [[ "$1" == *cheio ]]; then cheio=1; else vazio=1; fi; if date +%Z | grep BST &> /dev/null; then # summer time curl -s "http://emoncms.org/input/post.json?json={euro:$i,cheio:$cheio,vazio:$vazio}&apikey=XXXXXXXXXXXXXX&node=1" fi
on emoncoms this is the input feed for the onpeak/offpeak periods:
And this is the general input configuration for the CT's:
With all this it was easy to generate the following graphs:
Brief to see in the smartphone
Detail to debug
Offpeak(Green) and Onpeak(Orange) usage - got this snapshot at midnight, all the counters were set to 0. I can assure you it works though!
and several usage statisticas and costs
The values don't add up nicely in the last picture because i made mistakes at the beginning. It would be nice if we could reset all the feeds to start over.
Well that's it, hope you enjoy and if you are not sure about building your own i hope you find here some arguments to go for it!
Thanks!
Re: The best build that is no better than the others - It Works!
Great build.
Thank you for sharing.
Re: The best build that is no better than the others - It Works!
Thanks.
Looking back to the whole thing i would have had extra care designing the analog stage fot the CT sensors, having 3 out of 8 with some noise still bothers me. However after spending too much time trying to solve that, i just assumed the error and continued.
My main objective with this project is not to monitor energy alone, it is to automate my home-made EVSE to charge my Nissan Leaf. With this system it is easy to pull the whole house consumption from the API, do the math and instruct the car to use the remaining available power.
What you get from having a openenergy system is much more than what you see... and that's truly amazing! Thanks!
Re: The best build that is no better than the others - It Works!
Hi
I think noise of "3 out of 8" from base ADC arduino when use analogRead() on different PINs ADC of Arduino
You can see topic:
https://forums.adafruit.com/viewtopic.php?f=25&t=11597&sid=33426cbf21c75563c52322afd5d1e0f4
I think this noise is inevitable
(Sorry for my English)
Re: The best build that is no better than the others - It Works!
If the noise is only present on some channels, then it might well be an issue with the layout. It might also be the CT itself picking up a signal from adjacent cables. Do all the analogue inputs have a good solid GND connection back to a single common point? Is it possible that some digital signals are returning along the same piece of copper? Is there a filter between the digital and analogue power supplies on your particular Arduino? (Some have one, some do not.) All these things (and more!) can affect the noise pickup. There is a lot of good information on how to minimise noise pickup on the Atmel website.
Re: The best build that is no better than the others - It Works!
One simple test to help isolate the noise is to swap a noisy CT with a quiet CT, just at the screw terminals where they terminate onto your monitor (don't physically move the CTs). If the noise stays with the CT you'll know to investigate it over near the breakers, or in the cabling. If the noise stays with the screw terminal you'll know to investigate on your board.
I too monitor individual circuits, and I definitely get some minor cross-talk between my CTs (or possibly the CT cables). I've confirmed it arrives at my screw terminals, so I at least know not to go looking for the source in my monitor. One day I might man up and start moving CTs around, but I prefer not to be messing around back there if I can avoid it.
I've added the ability to capture the 24-bit raw waveform data out of my monitor. Effectively each of my channels is also a 24-bit 4KHz scope. Attached is a picture of my Hot Plates circuit (time and frequency domains). In both cases the Hot Plates are off, but in the second case I've switched a 2.4KW load on, on a completely different circuit. The RMS ghost current on the Hot Plates circuit jumps from about 4.8mA to 19.5mA and you can see it's nicely sync'd with V, enough to make it break out of its anti-creep threshold and declare the Hot Plates are using 4.8W! Fortunately, the hot plates never use any low currents like that, so I have an additional software anti-creep threshold on that circuit of 10W.
Re: The best build that is no better than the others - It Works!
Hi thanks for your inputs!
I resoldered a few times all the tracks, with added wires to get solid connections, and spend some time trying to isolate each channel the best i could. I'm not sure now if there were more noisy channels, but could never fix those 3. The noise is present with no CT attached. It appears as a positive power that can go up to 13-14Watt on one of them.
To troubleshoot the arduino board i changed the analog pins for the channels, the original ones were 1 to 8. and the noise was on 1, 4 and 7, so i bypassed those, but because it was no easy task i had to remake all the connections to the analog inputs. If you see on my sketch i'm using analog 2,3,5,6,8,9,11,12.
The noise shifted to the new analog inputs acordingly, where before Analog input 2 was clean, with the second analog circuit, it became noisier when driven by the analog circuit number 1.
So it's definitely on the prototype board layout.
I also tried to take care of good grounding if you check the back side picture the black wires are ground and have a reinforced track that surrounds all the channels. The noisier are not in a particular physical area, and are adjacent to clean channels so after some more soldering and reconditioning those nasty channels without any improvement i just gave up.
But i'm happy, 5 out of 8 are just perfect :-) I can sense my washer machine stand-by at 2Watt, if i pull the circuit breaker it goes down to zero! Ain't that amazing?
Regarding the constructive interference between channels, this time with the CT's connected and in operation, i also observed that phenomenon while testing, i read here on the forum that the CT cables should be shielded to ground, you guys recommend doing that? on my graphs i have not observed that since setting up the thresholds in the sketch.

Re: The best build that is no better than the others - It Works!
That all sounds like pretty thorough noise hunting. Not sure what to suggest after that, unless you can borrow a scope from someone? If you can, I'd power up the proto board (with the Arduino and CTs removed), set the scope probe to AC coupling and just a few mV per division and start probing around. I guess the mid-rails would be a good place to start... see if they're noisier on the noisy channels than on the quiet channels. You might be able to do something similar with a multimeter.... set your multimeter to AC volts and then measure each of the mid-rails, but a scope would be way better suited to the task.
[EDIT] Actually, it could be worth checking the DC voltage of each of the mid-rails as well. The noisy ones might be sitting right on an AtoD step, while the quiet ones might be safely in the middle of a step. Robert has a theory that just the right amount of noise there can be helpful, but I'm not convinced. There's more about that here: http://openenergymonitor.org/emon/http%3A/%252Fopenenergymonitor.org/emon/sites/default/files/Arduino%20AC%20current%20input%20A.png
And the other thing I forgot to mention, is that your Arduino itself makes a half decent rudimentary scope. I posted a sketch in that "noise in Arduino builds" thread that you referenced above that you can use. Try running that on your noisy channel with no CT connected and then graph the data it spits out. It just gets raw readings, no filtering, no nothing... if it's only the LSB that's flipping backwards and forwards then it's probably as good as it gets, if it's anything else its shape may give some clues. That it's showing up as real power suggests it has at least some 50Hz component.
Re: The best build that is no better than the others - It Works!
Hi dBC, unfortunately i don't have a scope, and the readings i made with my multimeter revealed nothing wrong at it's own limited level of precision.
But your sketch to pull raw data directly from the arduino seems at reach and it's definitely a good idea to do that, i'll try when i have the chance.
tks!
Re: The best build that is no better than the others - It Works!
When you are set up to view it, assuming there is some 50Hz signal in there, try it with and without power to your transformer to see if that's the source. If it were coming in through your Arduino DC supply, I'd expect it to be more consistent across all your channels.
Re: The best build that is no better than the others - It Works!
"If it were coming in through your Arduino DC supply..."
Your full scale power is approx 12 kW, I think, so 20 W is about 0.16%. That is well within the range where shifting the bias point inside one step of the ADC can give big changes in the readings, so if it is easy, you could try replacing one of the bias resistors with another of the same value. The different value of resistance, still inside the tolerance band, might move the bias point enough to make a difference.
One day, I will sit down with a spreadsheet and try to understand exactly how very small signals behave when the bias moves across the boundary of an ADC step - both for rms current and average power.
Re: The best build that is no better than the others - It Works!
That sketch referenced above will tell you your peak-to-peak noise in A/D units. If it's above 1 that's when you can go researching the source (powering off the transformer etc). If it is 1 then that's normal, and as Robert says, you can move the quiescent state relative to the A/D steps by re-throwing the resistor dice.

You can use the new scheduler module from XT branch instead of crontab to get the same multi rate accountings.
For Portugal use this schedules :
Empty: Winter|Mon-Fri|00:00-06:59, Winter|Sat|00:00-09:29,13:00-18:29,22:00-23:59, Winter|Sun|00:00-23:59 , Summer|Mon-Fri|00:00-06:59, Summer|Sat|00:00-08:59,14:00-19:59,22:00-23:59, Summer|Sun|00:00-23:59
Full: Winter|Mon-Fri|07:00-23:59, Winter|Sat|09:30-12:59,18:30-21:59 , Summer|Mon-Fri|07:00-23:59, Summer|Sat|09:00-13:59,20:00-21:59
Config input as follow (this is example for tri-rate schedule):
Give it a try!
Re: The best build that is no better than the others - It Works!
Hi chaveiro, still posting to emocms.org, to install modules i have to setup a local server, right?
dBC/Robert, i really want to troubleshoot the noisy channels, but i'm at a point where the data building up on the graphs start to get really interesting, so i will delay this until the next "maintenance window", where i will move data to a new local server. There is a big chance of failure so it's a good time to troubleshoot :-)

dash.closest.latlon
Returns the latitude-longitude points closest to a set of coordinates
Syntax
Description
Searches through combinations of latitude and longitude points to find the values that are closest to specified latitude-longitude coordinates. This method is often used to locate the elements of a gridded dataset that are closest to a specific set of coordinates. Thus, the second and third inputs are usually the latitude and longitude metadata of a gridded dataset.
This function uses a haversine function to calculate the distance between sites. The haversine function is agnostic to longitude coordinate systems, so you may use longitudes on either -180:180 or 0:360, or even a mix of both coordinate systems.
Also returns the indices of the closest latitude and closest longitude points within the examined sets of points. These outputs can be used to index into the closest elements of a gridded dataset.
