Delhi air quality improves significantly; odd-even, winds bring some relief
Delhi's overall air quality index improved significantly (from very poor to poor) on Thursday, more rapidly than predicted
by BS Web TeamDelhi breathed easier on Thursday morning as pollution levels dropped further due to moderate wind speed. The air quality index in the national capital dropped to 235 at 6:30 am. The Ministry of Earth Sciences' air quality monitor, SAFAR, said, "The AQI is back to 'poor' category due to a change in the wind direction. Safar added that the share of stubble burning in Delhi's pollution dropped to a meagre 3 per cent.
SAFAR said, "A change in the wind direction has led to a very low biomass plume intrusion in spite of the fact that the fire count observed yesterday was very high."
Delhi's overall air quality index improved significantly (from very poor to poor) on Thursday, more rapidly than predicted. The PM 2.5 -- tiny particulate matter less than 2.5 microns in diameter that can enter into the lungs and event the bloodstream -- and PM 10 levels also dropped.
Gurgaon recorded 'moderate' AQI, while Faridabad, Noida and Ghaziabad recorded 'poor' overall air quality.
An AQI between 0-50 is considered good, 51-100 satisfactory, 101-200 moderate, 201-300 poor, 301-400 very poor, and 401-500 severe. Above 500 is severe-plus emergency category.
The AQI of four places in and around Delhi has been provided in the table given below.
| Place | PM2.5 | PM10 |
|---|---|---|
| Noida | 301 | 198 |
| Gurugram | 156 | 117 |
| Dwarka | 290 | 181 |
| Mathura Road | 266 | 179 |
Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal said he was glad to see that pollution levels had come down, but efforts have to be made to ensure there is no increase.
The Delhi government has introduced the third edition of odd-even scheme as part of anti-pollution measures. The the 12-day road rationing rules had come into effect on November 4.
The Supreme Court-mandated Environment Pollution (Prevention and Control) Authority had on Monday extended the restrictions on hot mix plants, stone crushers and dirty fuel-based industries in Delhi-NCR till the morning of November 8 expecting a repeat of Sunday's episode.
The Supreme Court had also banned construction activities in Delhi-NCR till further orders.
On Sunday, pollution level in Delhi peaked to a three-year high as high humidity due to light rains on Saturday led to formation of more potent secondary particles.


I was given a 'mitsubishi'-looking pill by a friend of mine. I took it at a well-known dance club in chicago on gay night. I thought I would have a well-being feeling, would feel connected, and would have an experience similar to other first-timers that had a positive experience. The crowd on gay night is very accepting (and, from what i've heard, very heavy X users), so I thought I'd be okay, surrounded by 'family'.
In fact, it was the opposite. When it hit me, I immediately became anxious, like 'this is horrible - when does it end?' my digestive system began functioning on what I can only call a 'hyperactive' state - I had to use the bathroom three times in one half-hour. The toilets were so crowded I had to cut in line, apologizing, and then immediately go to the back of the line to use them again. I was so tense I thought my brain was going to explode. Worse yet, my car was in a parking lot that would close at 5am, and if I didn't get it out of the lot, it would get towed. This meant that I had to drive. I could have drove it about 100' to street parking: even if it was an illegal spot, and I got ticketed, that was better than getting stopped while driving while toasted.
But because I was toasted, I didn't think correctly, and I decided to drive. This was worse than any acid trip I ever took in the '60s.
[Erowid Note: Driving while intoxicated or tripping is dangerous and irresponsible because it endangers other people. Don't do it!]
I drove to a hotel not far away.  If a cop had stopped me, I would have been arrested.  I didn't think about what to do with the car before taking the X - *Big Mistake*. It was one of the most tense, anxious nights of my life.
At the hotel, within minutes *everyone* knew I was toasted. My pupils must have been the size of dimes. I went up to my room, went to bed, and just shook for hours.
Was it X? Was it speed? Was it cut with baby laxative? What was it? I don't know and I don't care. *I will NEVER take it or anything purporting to be it again*. Reality feels so good now, I hardly even drink, and take no 'recreational pharmaceutical' drugs whatsoever.
Some people say X is wonderful. I say the whole thing sucked.  Caveat emptor. Whatever you do, do NOT drive. Please!

Courtland Sutton lays out for amazing diving TD catch (Video)
by TSD StaffThe Broncos have a young, talented group of wide receivers, and Courtland Sutton showed what his upside can look like with an unbelievable, highlight-reel grab in Sunday’s game against the Browns.
Denver traded away Emmanuel Sanders due to their faith in the young receiver group, and Sutton helped show that the decision they made was a wise one on Sunday.
The play took place in the first quarter of Sunday’s game, with the game scoreless. Denver was in scoring range, though, so Brandon Allen floated a ball to the end zone, intended for Sutton. Browns cornerback Denzel Ward had tight coverage on him, though, making a completion extremely difficult.
No problem, though, as Sutton made an insane adjustment, then just laid out to make a ridiculous diving grab for the touchdown — beating Ward to the ball.
Wow.


This course introduces printed circuit board (PCB) design and layout practices and concerns. It is intended for students with some experience with circuits who are interested in learning or improving their PCB design and fabrication skills, and particularly those who are part of or intend to join engineering student organizations with working knowledge in PCB design.
Normally this is a DeCal course, but this semester HOPE will be rolling out a short online web course on PCB design. Keep a watch on the Timeline on this page as it gets updated with more content!
We are pleased to announce that IEEE HOPE Decal will be renewed for the Spring 2021 semester, with a projected schedule of 7-9pm on Thursdays.
Given the current conditions, the HOPE DeCal will not be offered in person as it has been in the past. Instruction and lab will be administered over remote meeting software, and any formerly physical hardware parts of the class (namely, the PCB assembly and microcontroller activities) have been replaced with an alternative, digital assignment. The final project will no longer include physical assembly as a requirement, but interested students will be able to order their project’s PCB and components with HOPE’s support if they choose to do so, and receive assistance during assembly if necessary.

School open as normal following sickness bug closure
by Michael StewardAn Ipswich primary school which was forced to close on Friday after a sickness bug wiped out staff and pupils has reopened today.
The Willows Primary School in Chantry closed on Friday and called in a professional cleaning crew after more than a third contracted the illness.
A post on the school's website this morning said: "The school will be open this Monday as normal".
The Downing Close school described the illness as a "severe sickness and diarrhoea bug", which had affected pupils and a number of staff.

Speaking on Friday, headteacher Paul Arch said the school made "the difficult but necessary decision" to close the school on Friday to prevent the further spread of any germs as well as allow for a specialist "deep clean" of the site.
He added he was looking forward to seeing all pupils back this week.
The school, which is part of the Orwell Multi Academy Trust, has around 358 pupils and a nursery.

Me and some friends of friends were at a concert I'd waited six months to go to. At the end of a long an nearly uneventful summer I was charged and ready to have fun. In the parking lot we smoked a couple of premium hydro joints that someone had been saving which went down nice and smooth. Within ten minutes a roaring high engulfed me, which surprised me because it'd only been about a week since the last time I'd smoked up and it seemed to good to be true. It was, I guess, because within minutes after coming up I became so nauseated I felt I could barely move. Unfortunately we had to move, everyone else was having a great time and I was bogged down by this awful feeling of nausea, and subsequently, despair.
We made our way to a Harvey's and I went to the bathroom to try and throw up. After I came out I couldn't see anyone I recognized. This is when the terror began to set in. For at this particular concert in Molson Park there were about twenty thousand people roaming a small strip of fast food places and I had to find the 4 I knew. Needless to say I roamed around for (what seemed like) a long time until I finally made my way back to Harvey's where they were sitting calmly garfing down burgers and wondering where the hell I'd gone.
That was when the most peculiar visual illusion set in. On either side of our table it seemed to me that there was a mirror, but I couldn't see myself in it, only everyone else at our table. Eventually I realised, to some relief, that it wasn’t a mirror but just other people at other tables. Of course, you could almost argue that it wasn't really an illusion at all given that concert goers all pretty much look the same anyways.
Almost immediately after that illusion another, more significant sensation set in. On another level of awareness I saw colourful points of light within anyone I looked at that seemed to encompass my immediate perception of them. This light seemed to have a colour and a shape as well as an instantaneous sharp sound that blasted out with each different individual I looked at. Then I thought about myself and saw what I would be if someone else looked at me.
It seemed that I was experiencing a fundamental level of perception, not a different or higher one. All the things I saw in these people were my immediate classifications to them based on how they held themselves, looked and moved. I thought a great deal about this while the others were sitting there obliviously chowing burgers in their stoned stupor (half wishing I could be in their state). A theory in my mind began to form about the mechanism of pot and how it surely must work based on this experience alone.
This reaction perception of people I was seeing seemed to encompass a great deal more information about them than I would normally become consciously aware of. Therefore it seemed that pot was actually blocking functions in my brain that filtered information to my consciousness. It was propelling me into a 'higher' state of consciousness by lowering the functioning of my brain. And this makes sense to me even now. It can't possibly be practical to walk around gawking and becoming overwhelmed by every person you see and revelling in who they are when you have to struggle to survive.
Is THC an antagonist to some higher level mental filtration modules then? I'm not sure. I've read far and wide and I'm not sure I've ever seen anything that can properly state marijuana’s mechanism with any sort of authority. But after this experience I've started to think that perhaps a schematic, not neurological approach is the method to realise how the effects of any drug manifest themselves within the human mind.

Supported BloodRayne 2 Versions
- Retail (CD/DVD & US/international).
- Demo.
- Steam (avoid the steam community interface, it causes problems with the patch).
Notes:
- The patch should work with other online distribution versions of the game aswell.
How to install/use this software ?
- Download the last version of the patch from CoopDB.
- Extract the content of the package (with winrar).
- This will create a folder called "BR2 FSAA Patch 1.666".
- Open this folder, and copy all the files to your BloodRayne 2 main folder.
- Launch the game as usually, and enjoy your gaming session !
Notes:
- The Steam folder is: <Your Steam Base Folder>\steamapps\common\bloodrayne 2
- Overwrite all the files if asked.
- Use the Configuration Tool (br2fsaaConfig) to configure the options of the patch.
You need the .NET Framework 2.0 to run the Configuration Tool.
How to use the in-game OSD ?
During the game, you can use the following keys to interact with the OSD:
- F1: Help / Status.
- F2: Configuration Menu.
- F3: HD Textures On/Off.
- F5: Soft Reset.
- F6: Hard Reset.
- F7: Reload Config.
- F8: Flush HD Textures.
- F9: Debug HUD On/Off.
To interact with the configuration menu:
- Cursor Keys: Menu Navigation.
- Page Up: Previous Value.
- Page Down: Next Value.
- Enter: Apply Changes.
Notes:
- When you switch from the game to the desktop (alt-tab), the patch reloads the config from your br2fsaa.ini file.
- If you have used the configuration menu, it will keep the values that you have modified.
- The configuration menu does not save the changes to your br2fsaa.ini file.
- If you press F7, the patch will reload the values from the br2fsaa.ini file.
- To make the changes permanent, use the Configuration Tool (br2fsaaConfig.exe).
- The OSD is useful to test your values, to play with the perlin effects, to check the speed in real time, ... you even can change the resolution on the fly.
How to install/use the HD textures ?
- Download the ACT1 Base Package, and the ACT2 Base Package from CoopDB
- Extract the content of the packages (with winrar) into your BloodRayne 2 main folder.
- Launch the game as usually.
Notes:
- If you want to use your custom br2fsaa.ini from previous versions, add the following lines to your br2fsaa.ini (or use the Configuration Tool to add them):
rayneHD = 1
resource = HD0200.zip
resource = HD0100.zip
Fix for the Cut Scenes
If you are one of the users who had the -black screen with sound- problem, during the cut scenes, you can try my fix. To install it, follow these steps:
- Load the Configuration Tool, and go to the 'Cut Scene' tab.
- Click on -Install The NEW cutscene.dll-
- Select the external video player that you want to use to play the videos.
I strongly recommend to use VLC.
- Select the path to your video player. The tool will try to find it. If you see a blank text box, you must enter the path manually.
- Enter the params that your fav video player needs to start to play a video in fullscreen, and to exit after the playback.
- Click on -Test Configuration-. You should see a video from the game.
- If you watched the video ok, click on -Write Configuration To cutscene.ini-
- If you cannot make it work, click on -Restore The Original cutscene.dll-
How can you get the maximum image quality in BloodRayne 2 ?
I strongly recommend to use these options:
- Force Anisotropic filtering to 16x
- Vertical Sync to Application
- Set Texture Filtering to High Quality
- Turn off Trilinear Optimizations
- Turn off Anisotropic Filter Optimizations
- Turn off Anisotropic Sample Optimizations
- Set Negative LOD BIAS to 'Clamp'
- Force Mip-Maps to Trilinear
- I highly recommend to use SSAA 2x2 with the HD textures (superior texture filtering quality, and free of visual artifacts).
Notes:
- In the past, the patch included profiles for nHancer, but, this tool is outdated and it does not work anymore with the new nVidia drivers.
- I recommend to use the nVidia Inspector Tool to configure these advanced options of the driver.
Performance
On my old system:
- Xeon 3350 @ 3.6 GHz (450x8) / ASUS Rampage Formula X48
- 4x1GB OCZ DDR2 PC2-6400 Reaper CL3 @ 900 MHz 3-4-4-15
- ASUS EN8800GTX (615/1500/2200) / Samsung SyncMaster 275T 27" 1920x1200
Using my recommended image quality options:
- 1280x1024 (without my patch, and without FSAA): 180 fps
- 1280x1024 (with my patch, and with MSAA 4x on): 210 fps !!!
Using the HD textures, and all the enhancements with full quality:
- 1920x1200 (MSAA 4x): 100 fps
- 1920x1200 (SSAA 2x): 50 fps
Perlin Noise Benchmark Tool (lower is better):
- Xeon 3350 @ 3.6 GHz:
Single Core: 5.50s / SSE3: 2.55s
Dual Core: 2.75s / SSE3: 1.29s
Quad Core: 1.38s / SSE3: 0.65s
- C2Q Q6600 @ 2.4 GHz:
Single Core: 9.26s / SSE3: 5.95s
Dual Core: 4.65s / SSE3: 2.99s
Quad Core: 2.32s / SSE3: 1.51s
- C2D E6750 @ 2.6 GHz:
Single Core: 8.60s / SSE3: 5.52s
Dual Core: 4.45s / SSE3: 2.88s
- A64 X2 4400+ @ 2.75 GHz:
Single Core: 11.84s / SSE3: 6.82s
Dual Core: 6.03s / SSE3: 3.48s
Performance Analysis:
- Standard textures:
44.3% of the time limited by core clock (2.73M cycles)
14.2% of the time limited by shader clock (2.05M cycles)
41.5% of the time limited by BW (384 MB)
- HD textures:
30.3% of the time limited by core clock (3.38M cycles)
69.7% of the time limited by BW (1169MB)
Conclusions:
- Get the gfx card with the highest possible memory bandwidth !!! (512bit GDDR5 ;)
- Any Dual Core CPU is enough to enjoy the Perlin effects. A Quad Core will smooth the animation of the effects.
- The fastest card to run the game is the GTX 285, which is faster than my actual GTX 480.
- As you can see in the benchmarks, the game is hugely bounded by the texture filtering performance (which is bound to the memory bandwidth that fills these units), so the GTX 285 with 80 texture sampling units is faster than the GTX 480 with 60 units only, because the memory bandwidth is very similar in both cards.
- Nvidia forgot the Amdahl's law in the GTX 480 ;)
Video Memory Usage
The Configuration Tool will tell you the amount of video memory that your selected options will need. If you use more video memory than the available in your gfx card, the game will run really slow or crash on launch.
Future Enhancements
- The project is finished.
- I can provide tools and information if you want to add more HD textures to the project.
Known Problems
- Mode 2 for true widescreen gaming, never will work perfect. The engine of the game is still rendering at 4:3 resolution, therefore, it doesn't send the objetcs that are outside of the camera, to the render pipeline, and we're opening the FOV of the camera. Anyway, it isn't a big problem, and you still can enjoy a very cool widescreen gaming experience. A friend tested the patch with ATI's Eyefinity, and he told me that it worked perfectly with a 3 screens setup ;)
- Black screen with sound during the cut scenes in some systems (check the fix for the cut scenes).

The climate in the Azores is dominated by the mid-Atlantic area of high pressure which bears their name. The position of the Azores high varies with the season, being more northerly in the autumn and more southerly in the spring, usually lying to the S or SW of the islands. In winter the area can be stormy and very wet, while in the summer the Azores high can be stationary with prolonged periods of calm weather.
A long-term weather forecast can be obtained from the Meteorological Observatory in Horta; it is best to do this through Horta Marina. A daily prognosis is also posted at the offices of the marina and the port authority.

By looking at the definition of happiness alone, one could come to the conclusion that there are two ways of approaching happiness in life.
To learn how to change reality to fits our want.
To learn how to change our wants to fit the reality.
A mix and match between the two approach is also possible. Either way both are ways of achieving happiness by synchronizing our wants and reality.
The first approach is the common approach that we, humans, use to find happiness which is to do our best to change reality to fits our want. There are two major fallacies in this approach to happiness.
1. The chasing of our want is bounded to make us unhappy.
The first way of approaching happiness in life is to work from the outside in. Its goal is to find the best ways to change reality to fit our wants while leaving our wants static, unchanging and unquestioned across time and space. It asks questions like “How do I get what I want? How do I become better and more powerful at getting what I want?” It’s the question of how, not why.
But the fact of life is that we can’t always get what we want. Life does not always goes according to what we want. Often times than not, there are too many things in which we can not change the reality to be like how we want. These could be something as obvious as death, sickness, and old-age. It could be our inability to control others’ thought, speech, and action. It even could be something as trivial as a stomachache in which we can’t command it to stop being painful.
In scenarios like these where we want to change the reality that cannot be changed or it is impossible for us to control the reality to be like our want, this first approach of pursuing happiness will not only fail at making us happy, but worse, make us unhappy.
2. Overlooking Ourselves
The second fallacies in this first approach is that it focuses only on changing what is outside of us that we have overlooked how to change what is inside of us. Our mind, if untrained, takes over our lives.
An untrained mind is ever expanding in its demand of the reality. When we are rich we want to be richer. When we see someone who is happy, we too want to be like them. When we see our friends succeed sometimes we can’t help but feel a sense of jealousy or inferiority. There is no end to our want. Imagine if there is a million of things that we want but have not achieved, then we have a million things that are unsatisfactory in our lives. That does not sounds like a good, happy, and fulfilling life. When we infinitely want things from the reality then we infinitely must suffer from our unending chase of happiness.
Could we demand the dead to come back to life? The obvious answer is no. Could we expect everyone to like us without being disliked? The answer is very unlikely. Even though we all know these facts but still our mind will not easily accept it. When someone talked behind our back, we become agitated and wish that person to stop. When someone we love passed away, we wish that person would still be alive with us. An untrained mind does not play by the rules or law of the universe. It does not live with reality. It takes in, hold on and grab whatever that it likes and push away or destroy all that it does not like.
Reality is never satisfactory with our expanding minds wanting the impossible. With our untrained minds, we are stuck in the situation where we have unchanging want in an ever changing reality, unrealistic want in a realistic reality, and an infinite want in a finite reality. And naturally, we end up being the ones who suffer.
In summary, the cause of our happiness depends on how much we allow ourselves to be happy. In other words, how much can we master our own mind. The less you know about your mind and its nature, the less control you have over it. And inversely, the more unhappiness you will have in your life. I believe this is why Horace, a famous greek philosopher, said this:
“Rule your mind or it will rule you.”
- Horace
The next section, “How to Attain Happiness?”, will introduce to you to the other missing half of achieving True Happiness. It will introduce you to the basics of mind training and how it is imperative to our happiness.

Sightings
For the past few years, sightings of The Katy have happened primarily in the Downtown Seattle area. It is rumored that she had been disguising herself as an employee of the Seattle Theatre Group, specifically as an Accounts Payable Specialist. Sightings began to dwindle as a plague swept through the city and halted altogether around the December of 2020.
Prior to The Katy’s downtown stint, she was seen for many years in the South Lake Union neighborhood. Records indicate employment was gained at the corporate office of National Frozen Foods, where she assimilated with the local workforce and remained hidden for eight years. It is said that she began as a temporary worker, helping them get caught up with multiple housekeeping projects and covering various duties for individuals on maternity leave, before assuming her first role in Accounts Payable.
---
But these are not the first sightings of The Katy. Student records show former enrollments at Evergreen High School, where she strove to escape from after two years and tested into the “Running Start” program at South Seattle Community College. This allowed her to earn dual credits towards her high school diploma and an associate degree. Following graduation, she is noted to have delayed any decisions about her future by enrolling at Renton Technical College in their Legal Assistant program.
---
These days sightings outside of the vicinity of her established safe zone are rare, but a source claiming to be an immediate family member has reported that The Katy is back in school and trying to take her little cryptid life down a different path.

I don't have a strong opinion about frameworks - I've seen good and bad work done with and without them.

Hi guys, I am new to the OpenEnergyMonitor system but I do however work for one of the biggest integration specialists & product suppliers to the UK energy management & building controls industry.
I got myself an emonTX v3 and the wireless board for the RPi + pre loaded SD card. All is working and I still can't believe how good and straight foward this is (especially compared to the commercial offerings we use).
I have a question though, am I correct in thinking that when using the Raspberry Pi as an emon Base (pre loaded sd card), that no data is stored persistantly? Reason I ask is because when I rebooted my RPi, I can't seem to find any of my data from yesterday. I do have a few inputs logging to feed.
Also, I looked at the SQL install and can't seem to see any Tables that contain the energy data?
Is this the case? If so its not a problem since I plan on developing an external service that leverages the emon base to fetch data from the tx's and log elsewhere anyway.
Also, great job on this product guys!
Cheers
Tom
Re: RaspberryPi Emon base persistant data?
Hi Tom, As you've discovered, emonCMS is enabled by default on recent emonSD cards. emonCMS always persists data although not always to an SQL table.
Because the Pi runs from a SDcard the writes need to be reduced to lower the chance of a failing card, so the data is held in low overhead, unindexed "feeds" which can be found in the "phpfina","phpfiwa" and "phptimeseries" folders in "data". these files are written to once per minute to reduce write activity.
emonHub is also included in the SDcard image and is a "gateway" to emoncms and can run totally read only and does not persist data directly, it forwards to one or multiple emoncms installs, remote or local. It buffers data in RAM if a network or server is down. It is designed to be modular in the way that it is the local base for a remote emoncms so there are many emonHubs reporting to a central emonCMS server,
The extended version of emoncms (ie not low-write for SDcard) can write data to SQL and has a lot more functionality and input processes that are not (currently) available to a Pi without installing a hdd so to get a picture of a model closer to your needs you could set up an "extended" emoncms server on another local machine and have emonHub forward the data across a network.
Paul
Re: RaspberryPi Emon base persistant data?
Hi Paul, thanks for the reply.
That answers my question and like I said, is not an issue since I only intend to use it as a hub to which an external application will receive data. Looking at your feed api, I will probably just make my application call the API of the low-write emon cms install on the pi and retrieve the values from each feed that way.
Where is that data folder?
Another quick question for you....
Whats the transmit power of the radio in the emonTX v3. I am trying to get an idea of maximum range that the pi can be from the tx. Obviously I can fit a big antenna to the module on the pi, but this is only going to be as good as the transmit power from the tx itself.
Any line of sight range testing results you can share?
I am currently running the TX in a cupboard where one of our 3 phase incomers resides and the pi is around 60ft away through two walls and up one floor.
Re: RaspberryPi Emon base persistant data?
One of the strengths of the OEM project is the options available and the way you can do your own thing with it, however based on what you've told us the "feed api" method may not be the best way.
For a commercial remote install you want it to be as low-maintenence and reliable as possible, a forwarder only solution has less moving parts, a fixed on disc size and is extremely robust. emonHub's less robust predecessor earned the name "the rock-solid gateway" it really is a install and forget solution.
To be able to access via the feeds api you will also need to set up the server at each location with external access which will require a fixed ip and/or dns, you will then need a custom application that can systematically poll every install rather than just sitting back and watching the data arrive. it will also need to get the backlog if there is a network interruption etc
Plus, using a central emoncms you can have one global account or set up an account for each location, then if you want you can give your client read-only access to just thier data and behind the server you can access all of the tables to get group information via a custom application.
Unfortunately I have never done any RF tests, I have quite a noisy environment and lots of obstacles, There is a lot of info regarding RF performance across the forum, the number of devices is also a factor once you have a lot of traffic collisions will be a factor.
The data is on a 3rd partition as the 2nd is read-only, that is mounted to /home/pi/data usually but it location is specified in the emoncms settings file, normally found at /var/www/emoncms/settings.php
Paul
Re: RaspberryPi Emon base persistant data?
Hi Paul, Thanks again for the response.
With regards to shipping data off site, we typically do that in a different application, so the API call coming inward to the Pi will actually be coming from a device or server on site. The data is then posted off site via another service we have developed.
We could, long term, just use the hub aspect of openenergymonitor to get the values off the serial line, then write some python to post them outwards into an API of our own... Or like you said, if we just hosted an emoncms instance in one of our datacentres we could then configure the RPi to post its data out to that using the options in the hub config file as is. Im an IT infrastructure architect myself, so routing, static IP's etc is no problem!
Have to say, excellent looking product so far, since my first post we have just written a service to integrate data from emoncms into the Tridium Niagara AX Framework if you know what that is. (The most versatile building integration platform there is, used in 100,000's of installations).
Re: RaspberryPi Emon base persistant data?
I have just noticed that no 'hour' graphs seem to draw. 30 mins or less works fine. Is this a bug or something?


Setting up Social Challenges
Social challenges keep your players engaged by automatically sending push notifications whenever a player's best score is beat by someone in their network. It is currently available on iOS only.
Setup
To test social challenges in your app, you must send<EMAIL_ADDRESS>the development push certificate that you created through the Apple Provisioning Portal. Follow these steps to obtain this certificate:
Browse to developer.apple.com/account and click on Identifiers:
From the list of App IDs, find the app that you would like to enable with push and click on it. Note, the App ID cannot have a wildcard (e.g. *) character in it. If you are currently using a wildcard App ID, please create a new App ID.
When you tap on your App ID, the row will expand to reveal details on the app. Click Edit:
Create the Development Certificate:
You will be prompted to upload a certificate request file. Open Keychain and go to Keychain Access > Certificate Assistant > Request a Certificate From a Certificate Authority:
Enter your information and select "Saved to disk":
Upload the certSigningRequest that you just saved:
Your certificate for push notifications in development is ready, download it:
Double click the downloaded cert. Keychain will open; right click on it and select "Export". Put a password on the .p12 file that your exporting:
Email the .p12 file to<EMAIL_ADDRESS>We will put your cert in place and communicate with you how to test out social challenges through our dashboard.
When you are testing push notifications in development, here are some things to watch for:
Make sure the bundle identifier of your app matches the App ID you created your push certificate for:
Make sure the development provisioning profile that you are using does not contain a wildcard character. It should be the same as the AppID that you created your push certificate for:
If it does not match, here are the steps to create a new provisioning profile:
Browse to developer.apple.com/account, click Provisioning Profiles and click the plus sign to add a new profile:
Select the same App ID that you used to create your push certificate:
When you have finished creating the provisioning profile, download it and double click it to add it to organizer.
Finally, make sure the newly downloaded provisioning profile is being used when you build your app in development:
These steps will be repeated to enable social push for production. Please email<EMAIL_ADDRESS>before taking your game live with the social challenge update!

Just FYI, I noticed on this page: https://github.com/ImperialCollegeLondon/natural_number_game
that the git url for the natural numbers game is not valid, e.g.
git clone git@github.com:ImperialCollegeLondon/natural_number_game.git is surely not valid URL (s/:/\//), I would replace it with:
git clone https://github.com/ImperialCollegeLondon/natural_number_game.git
The current URL works for me, but maybe because I'm part of the leanprover-community organization?
At any rate the https URL will surely work for all
The natural number game has nothing to do with leanprover-community as far as I know. From the man page of git 2.17.1 on my Ubuntu machine:
GIT URLS In general, URLs contain information about the transport protocol, the address of the remote server, and the path to the repository. Depending on the transport protocol, some of this information may be absent. Git supports ssh, git, http, and https protocols (in addition, ftp, and ftps can be used for fetching, but this is inefficient and deprecated; do not use it). The native transport (i.e. git:// URL) does no authentication and should be used with caution on unsecured networks. The following syntaxes may be used with them: · ssh://[user@]host.xz[:port]/path/to/repo.git/ · git://host.xz[:port]/path/to/repo.git/ · http[s]://host.xz[:port]/path/to/repo.git/ · ftp[s]://host.xz[:port]/path/to/repo.git/
@Sorin Suciu are you saying that you're using a version of git which does not accept this git protocol? The repo is public.
I think it's actually the ssh protocol being used
git
is the user
@Kevin Buzzard I guess you have to have git permissions to use that git URL, it works for me only using https...
Well I don't understand why that is but both of them work for me so I changed it to the thing which works for you as well. Thanks for pointing this out.
The difference is whether you've uploaded an ssh key to github at some point
You don't need to be part of any github organisation, but you do need an account there
So Sorin is correct in suggesting that I should change the installation instructions? [which I just did]
Yeah, I think it's better. Because it allows people without github account to easily clone it.
The difference is whether you've uploaded an ssh key to github at some point
Indeed - just checked - the SSH public key I had uploaded is not present on my machine. However, I guess https would work for anyone...
People with a github account will be able to find the ssh-url if they want it
So Sorin is correct in suggesting that I should change the installation instructions? [which I just did]
Thank you!
You only need the ssh-url version if you also want to push, and don't want to type passwords all the time
[like me]

Glen Rice Jr. pleads not guilty to assault charge
by Associated PressFormer Washington Wizards guard Glen Rice Jr. pleaded not guilty to a single charge of injuring with intent when he appeared in an Auckland court on Wednesday.
The son of three-time NBA all-star Glen Rice was released on bail and is to appear in court again in February.
Rice was arrested last week after an incident outside an Auckland bar. His lawyer lodged the not guilty plea to a charge of injuring with intent to injure and elected a trial by a judge, rejecting a jury trial.
The charge carries a maximum penalty of five years in prison.
Rice's arrest came only days after he joined the Auckland-based New Zealand Breakers in Australia's National Basketball League.
The ANBL has since ordered Rice’s suspension, and the club has complied.
Breakers owner Matt Walsh attended court with Rice and spoke to reporters outside the courtroom. Rice stood next to Walsh dressed in a charcoal suit, blue shirt and pale grey tie, and refused to comment.
“We are going to let it play out in the New Zealand law system,” Walsh said. “While that happens we are going to continue to support Glen and, like anyone else going through this process, just keep an open mind and see how it plays out.”
Rice joined the Breakers as an injury replacement for fellow American Brian "Scotty" Hopson.
Rice attended Georgia Tech but was dismissed by coach Brian Gregory in 2012 after multiple suspensions, the last involving a shooting outside an Atlanta nightclub.
He was taken by the Philadelphia 76ers with the 35th pick in the 2013 draft but later traded to Washington. He was waived by the Wizards in January 2015.


The Germans are well known for their exceptional engineering skills, and this watch is no exception to the rule. As well as a number of other features, it actually features chimes, which is quite unusual for wristwatches in this day and age. However, this watch just oozes quality to look at, which is probably part of the reason why it costs $2.5 million!
A. Lange & Söhne launched Odysseus on October 24, 2019. For the first of the Odysseus family of watches, the Saxon watchmakers developed a tailor-made, self-winding movement with a large day-of-week and date display.
Apple Watch. The Apple Watch is a smartwatch that operates as a small wearable computing device worn on a user's wrist.
The Navitimer 8 B01 Chronograph 43 is powered by the in-house Breitling Manufacture Caliber 01. The self-winding 43 mm watch has a ratchet-wheel chronograph with vertical coupling and an impressive power reserve of more than 70 hours. The display features 30-minute and 12-hour counters as well as a date window. The highlight of this new range, the Navitimer 8 B01 Chronograph 43, is available in steel with a black or blue dial, or in 18k red gold with a bronze dial, each with the distinctive design elements of contrasting sub-dials. Presented on a steel bracelet or on an alligator leather strap, the COSC-certified chronometer features a transparent sapphire caseback.
The watch that Andi bought is the Omega Speedmaster Professional Galaxy Express 999. This watch, especially for the Japanese market, was dedicated to the manga Galaxy Express 999, written and drawn by Leiji Matsumoto. The series ran from 1977 to 1987 and there have been several movies and series based on the story as well.

Singer Tom Walker helps Fife man propose to partner live on Kingdom FM
A Fife burger van owner was left shocked when Brit Award winner Tom Walker proposed to her live on the radio.
by Claire WarrenderHayley Wilkins went into a daze when the singer-songwriter popped the question on behalf of her partner Steve Craig.
She had been preparing food in her van in Glenrothes when she heard the surprise message on Kingdom FM’s breakfast show, hosted by Dave Connor and Vanessa Motion.
Regular listener Steve had heard the singer was to be a guest on the show and asked the presenters if they would get him to propose for him.
Tom, who is currently promoting his new single Better Half of Me – written after he became engaged to his own partner – was only too happy to oblige and said: “Hayley, I love you dearly, and I would be very happy if you would make me the happiest man alive and you would marry me.
“Lots of love, your favourite person Steve.”
The musician jokingly accused Steve of taking the shy way out however, and Dave and Vanessa got him on the phone to repeat the proposal himself.
Steve and Hayley met when he began buying breakfast from her van outside his work at Fife Autocentre in Eastfield Industrial Estate, Glenrothes.
Romance soon blossomed and the pair are now expecting a baby in February.
Steve admitted to feeling very nervous while waiting for Hayley’s answer, which thankfully, was a yes.
Hayley said: “I’m shocked. The girl who works with me said her partner wanted her to have the radio on in the van.
“They’ve scammed me!”
The recording of the proposal can be accessed here: https://soundcloud.com/kingdomfmreplay/tom-walker-proposes-for-listener-steve

--- layout: post title: "Inheritance-composition isomorphism" description: "Reuse via inheritance is isomorphic to composition." date: 2018-02-26 7:24 UTC tags: [Software Design, Dependency Injection] --- {% include JB/setup %}
{{ page.description }}
This article is part of a series of articles about software design isomorphisms.
Chapter 1 of Design Patterns admonishes:
Favor object composition over class inheritancePeople sometimes struggle with this, because they use inheritance as a means to achieve reuse. That's not necessary, because you can use object composition instead.
In the previous article, you learned that an abstract class can be refactored to a concrete class with injected dependencies.
Did you notice that there was an edge case that I didn't cover?
I didn't cover it because I think it deserves its own article. The case is when you want to reuse a base class' functionality in a derived class. How do you do that with Dependency Injection?
Imagine a virtual method:
public virtual OutVirt1 Virt1(InVirt1 arg)
In C#, a method is virtual when explicitly marked with the virtual
keyword, whereas this is the default in Java. When you override a virtual method in a derived class, you can still invoke the parent class' implementation:
public override OutVirt1 Virt1(InVirt1 arg) { // Do stuff with this and arg var baseResult = base.Virt1(arg); // return an OutVirt1 value }
When you override a virtual method, you can use the base
keyword to invoke the parent implementation of the method that you're overriding. The enables you to reuse the base implementation, while at the same time adding new functionality.
If you perform the refactoring to Dependency Injection shown in the previous article, you now have an interface:
public interface IVirt1 { OutVirt1 Virt1(InVirt1 arg); }
as well as a default implementation. In the previous article, I showed an example where a single class implements several 'virtual member interfaces'. In order to make this particular example clearer, however, here you instead see a variation where the default implementation of IVirt1
is in a class that only implements that interface:
public class DefaultVirt1 : IVirt1 { public OutVirt1 Virt1(InVirt1 arg) { // Do stuff with this and arg; return an OutVirt1 value. } }
DefaultVirt1.Virt1
corresponds to the original virtual method on the abstract class. How can you 'override' this default implementation, while still make use of it?
You have a default implementation, and instead of replacing all of it, you want to somehow enhance it, but still use the 'base' implementation. Instead of inheritance, you can use composition:
public class OverridingVirt1 : IVirt1 { private readonly IVirt1 @base = new DefaultVirt1(); public OutVirt1 Virt1(InVirt1 arg) { // Do stuff with this and arg var baseResult = @base.Virt1(arg); // return an OutVirt1 value } }
In order to drive home the similarity, I named the class field @base
. I couldn't use base
as a name, because that's a keyword in C#, but you can use the prefix @
in order to use a keyword as a legal C# name. Notice that the body of OverridingVirt1.Virt1
is almost identical to the above, inheritance-based overriding method.
As a variation, you can inject @base
via the constructor of OverridingVirt1
, in which case you have a Decorator.
If you already have an interface with a 'default implementation', and you want to reuse the default implementation, then you can use object composition as shown above. At its core, it's reminiscent of the Decorator design pattern, but instead of receiving the inner object via its constructor, it creates the object itself. You can, however, also use a Decorator in order to achieve the same effect. This will make your code more flexible, but possibly also more error-prone, because you no longer have any guarantee what the 'base' is. This is where the Liskov Substitution Principle becomes important, but that's a digression.
If you're using the previous abstract class isomorphism to refactor to Dependency Injection, you can refactor any use of base
to object composition as shown here.
This is a special case of Replace Inheritance with Delegation from Refactoring, which also describes the inverse refactoring Replace Delegation with Inheritance, thereby making these two refactorings an isomorphism.
This article focuses on a particular issue that you may run into if you try to avoid the use of abstract classes. Many programmers use inheritance in order to achieve reuse, but this is in no way necessary. Favour composition over inheritance.
