@rado-mori Welcome to MySensors. Does it have to be a 2560? That seems a bit overkill for what you are trying to do. A 328P should handle those few things.
In this case, the baud rate is being set to 9600bps (bits per second). When you open your terminal program, you should select the same baud rate prior to opening the com port. If those two numbers do not match you can see output similar to what you are seeing.
RE: how can i find out the Check code in XY1F remote control?
@dzjr Thank you. Many here will appreciate that as it makes it much easier to read.
@omemanti Nice DIN rail enclosure.

The Japanese Invasion Threat of Australia
Oct 4, 2015 Guest Author
Japanese intentions to invade mainland Australia during World War Two have long been the subject of passionate debate amongst historians worldwide. Some scholars are convinced that the Japanese had made solid preparations to invade mainland Australia but their plans were thwarted by the Allied victory at the Battle of the Coral Sea. Others state that the Japanese were too busy consolidating their position in South East Asia in preparation for the inevitable entry of significant US forces in the region. The theories touted by both of these parties are irrelevant for our purposes. Regardless of their actual intentions, the Japanese "Jungle Blitzkrieg" so seriously concerned Allied military planners that significant resources and manpower were concentrated on the defence of Australia. The important issue is that Australia was fortified for invasion and that plans were drawn for a guerrilla campaign to wear out the Japanese forces before an allied counter attack.
It is a matter of historical record that Australian government and military planners were deeply worried about the prospect of a Japanese invasion and extensive plans and "defence schemes" were devised to defend Australia in the event of large areas of the mainland being occupied by the Japanese. It is known that part of these plans involved pre-positioning stockpiles of civil relief materials and food for use by civilians and military personnel caught in areas of the Australian Mainland overrun by the enemy.
Australian Intelligence had received reports from Chinese and US sources, which seemed to confirm our government's worst fears. The Curtin government openly admitted its concerns to its citizens and implemented a massive civil defence program. This was accompanied by public announcements about the Japanese threat as evidenced by official posters, pamphlets and radio recordings that exist at the Australian War Memorial in Canberra.
It's Fight, Work or Perish!
The enemy Thunders at our very gates. Everything we cherish is in immediate peril.
As Australia's leader I can no longer wait to argue with you, appeal to you or reason with you. There is no time: the danger is too great.
Strikes, lockouts, provocation, profiteering and exploitation increase our national danger. They must cease. What we have done, or are doing, is not as good as what we can do–should do–and must do.
You must make complete sacrifice for Australia or become a complete sacrifice to the enemy.
It's fight, work–or perish.
Rt. Hon. John Curtin, Prime Minister of Australia.
Australian Government's position on the threat of a Japanese invasion of Australia may not have been far off the mark as originally thought.
New information has come to light suggesting that the the Australian Government's position on the threat of a Japanese invasion of Australia may not have been far off the mark as originally thought.
According to a United States Office of Strategic Services (OSS) report from October 1942, the Japanese were actively planning an invasion of Australia in June or July 1942. The OSS report is based upon information secretly passed to an OSS asset by neutral Spanish diplomatic staff in Tokyo.
The report extract below appears to be derived from minutes of a Japanese Imperial War Council meeting and details Japanese motivations for carrying out such a costly operation.
The costly lesson learned by the Japanese during their attack at Midway has resulted in the opinion, apparently held by Admiral Suetsugu, that surface operations even with carrier air support cannot successfully be carried out within 750 miles of a strong enemy base of shore-based aircraft. He believes that the Japanese possessions in the Western Pacific can only be made impregnable by concentrating on the strengthening of their air defence and that only Australia remains as an obstacle to the creation of a perfect defensive chain. However, he appears to have felt that Australia has already been reinforced to such an extent that operations designed only to isolate it would cause such heavy losses that its subsequent invasion would be rendered impossible.
The above opinion, claimed to have been voiced at a meeting of Japan's policy-makers, was in general agreed to by other members, but it was felt that regardless of losses, Australian invasion plans must be pursued. General Tojo, the Prime Minister, agreed that Australia must be reduced. General Asaka and General Terauchi supported General Tojo, but pointed out that unless Fiji, the New Hebrides and New Caledonia were soon captured, such a plan would have little chance of success and the Japanese gains in the South West Pacific Area would become increasingly endangered. General Tojo expressed the opinion that in order to cut down the losses of naval operations against the Australian mandates, a simultaneous attack by the landing of a massive expeditionary force at several points on the Australian mainland should be undertaken.
In December 1942, Chinese Intelligence sources provided details of what appears to be the general strategic concepts of the proposed operation. The Japanese Military Headquarters had drawn up plans for a large-scale military incursion into the Australian mainland in mid 1942. The concept of the operation was described as follows:
The base of operation was to be situated in the areas comprising the Nan Yang (South Seas) and New Guinea. By adopting a defensive strategy against the US naval forces the Japanese hoped to be able to defend their left flank. The main defence for this flank was a massive minefield in the Straits of Malacca. This would effectively block any naval force attacking the Japanese supply areas from the Indian Ocean.
A force consisting of warships and transports was to make a lightning attack on Darwin in the hope of drawing US and Australian forces into the isolated areas between Katherine and Birdum. Then the main invasion force would set out from Sunda Strait and Christmas Island and land on the Australian coast in the vicinity of Fremantle. The Japanese would then attempt to control the railways and harbour facilities west of Esperance Bay and Sandstone before advancing eastward.
The operation was originally planned to take place in mid-June 1942 with Japanese military supplies stockpiled at a large base at Java in the Netherlands East Indies (now the Republic of Indonesia). Japanese troop transportation and reception centres were established throughout the area and plans were drawn to secure the sea and air routes down the Northwest coast of Australia.
The attack was apparently postponed on account of US-led counter-attacks such as the Battle of the Coral Sea and once the Japanese started to lose their initiative and were forced to concentrate on defending the areas they had already annexed, the Invasion of Australia plans were never implemented. The authenticity of the invasion plan as described by the Chinese sources is a matter of contention.
Some academics argue that the plan above is a fake and that the Chinese may have thought that an authentic-looking Japanese invasion plan might have forced the Allies to fast-track plans to clear the enemy from Southeast Asia. This would have helped make China a major theatre for Allied operations rather than the Southwest Pacific. The truth is almost certainly lost to the mists of time, but the plan is included here to illustrate the kind of intelligence acted upon by the Curtin government. It certainly helps to explain why the Australian government was publicly discussing a pending Japanese invasion well into 1944 when, as we know now, the Japanese were barely capable of defending the Japanese Home Islands, the Philippines and their Mandated Territories.
ABMM has uncovered evidence for the existence of a secret Japanese "Bush" airstrip in Arnhem Land in the Northern Territory as well as evidence of Japanese espionage activities in Far North Queensland.
MILCOMD MELBOURNE
ARMYPRESS CANBERRA
PR XXXXXX
PERSONAL FOR DPR FROM SO1 (PR).
a. Our telecon of 7 Nov 73, Arnhem Land airstrip.
at XXXXXX Station Arnhem land Jun 59 owner Mr. XXXX XXXXXX (now deceased – died 1966) mentioned Japanese aircraft bombing Katherine 1942-43 approx, had flown in from approx due east passing some few miles north of XXXXXX. XXXXXX alleged examination of aircraft by RAAF authorities disclosed they not carrier borne but land based aircraft not carrying drop tanks. Japanese aircraft crashed was bound for Katherine bomb load exploded, scattering aircraft wreckage over wide area. XXXXXX took me to crash scene where few unidentifiable pieces of metal still remained near XXXXXX water hole north XXXXXX Station homestead. XXXXXX also stated and corroborated by his brother in law, Mr. XXX XXXXX that natives coming into station from gulf coast had reported "plenty china men and big silver birds". XXXXXX believed as natives were familiar with Japanese pearling/fishing fleets from pre war days and XXXXXXX bay massacre these reports could mean presence of Japanese airstrip on XXXX of Gulf of Carpentaria possibly due east of XXXXXX. toward mid-July army Cessna pilot then S Sgt, now Maj XXXXXXX XXXXXXX AA AVN Corps told me he had seen strange stilted huts inland from XXXX XXXX bay. subsequently XXXXXXX and I, in chartered Cessna from XXXXXXXXX Flying School Sydney (possibly reg. VH-XXX) flew range running north south parallel with XXXX coast of Gulf inland from XXXX XXXX bay.
We located a "village" of stilted huts on a meander of the XXXX River approx eight miles inland adjacent to what appeared to be a level and graded claypan area on which we landed. Together we cut way through dense undergrowth to "village" where several photographs, subsequently confiscated, were taken by XXXXXX and myself. Village consisted of approximately 12 huts, built on stilts with floor level about feet six inches six above ground level reached by ladder from ground. Noted that rungs of ladder all made from bush vines and timber had been lashed in position with diagonal lashings, started and finished with a clove hitch. Structures appeared to have been laid out with some purpose in mind. There were two large shelters at ground level approx 12' x 12' which although structurally identical with other huts were at ground level. On floor of one of these I picked up a spark plug which was of the screw headed aircraft type. There was no other sign of native occupancy. No natives were seen, the ashes of two fires were found – both old fires as rain marks were visible in the ash and there had been no rain for some weeks. After inspecting village for approx one hour we returned to aircraft and noticed a pole approximately 15' high with a wire loop at its head. We agreed that this had probably been a wind sock, although no vestige of material was visible. Subsequently on my return to Canberra, late Jul 59, photographs of the village were seen on my desk by Maj XX XXXXXX of DRAC, who alleged that the huts were identical with those which POW were made to build by the Japanese on the Burma Siam railway.
My scepticism caused XXXXXX to have me verify his statement with Mr. XXXX XXXXX (now XXX, dept of external territories Canberra) who corroborated XXXXXX's statement. Both were POW working on the railway. This caused my enquiry to DMI as to whether we had any knowledge of a temporary Allied war time airstrip in this vicinity. I was informed a few days later that we had no knowledge of any Allied airstrip even remotely near the area. The story previously written by Maj (now Lt Col) XXXXXX at XXXXXX before he left there about a week ahead of me was never released nor were the pictures. In 1961 I met in Sydney in company with the then Private Secretary to the Minister an officer who alleged, without any knowledge of this story, that he had been despatched from XXXX XXXXX mission with a small party of troops to look for a supposed Japanese airfield. I assumed that this probably arose from XXXXXX's report based on what the natives had told him referred to above. This officer laughingly told me that he and his party had regarded the story as preposterous and had only been a few miles north of the XXXX XXXXX mission before camping for about three weeks, during which time they fished and lazed about. I asked him discretely had any parties been as far north as XXXX XXXX Bay. He scoffed and said that country was only good for the crocodiles and the blacks and nobody in his right mind would go there.
If this airfield was occupied by the Japanese and if this officer's party did not go beyond XXXX XXXXX Mission it appears possible that such an airstrip could have been constructed and used during world war 2 as the Japanese knowledge of the coastline and its geography was infinitely better than ours until as recently as 1959 when the survey party to which I was attached began accurately mapping the area.
About the Australian Bunker & Military Museum
This Australian Bunker & Military Museum is dedicated to All the Australian and Allied Servicemen who were not recognized for the part they played in the Defence of Australia. Seeing that underground installations were top secret, still to this day the Servicemen that are remaining feel that they cannot speak of one of the greatest feats undertaken on Australian soil.

Cozy up by the brick fireplace while enjoying breakfast, lunch or dinner! There is a large flat-screen television with cable, small stereo with CD player, as well as wireless internet. Come enjoy this cabin with your family and friends and create memories that will last forever.
Cleaning fee of $130.00 includes linens.
There is parking for 4 cars at this house during winter months.
This is our second visit to the Chalet on Moana Circle. It's an old Tahoe cabin with a pretty updated inside. You can walk to a pier and watch the night sky or sit in the quiet of the morning with your coffee while the lake laps at the shore. The walk to the water is a huge perk for us. The cabin is wrapped by an enormous desk and has been updated enough to feel light and bright inside with places to sit and eat, relax, sleep and cook.
We are in Tahoe for a nature experience to hike, generally. Westshore is a more peaceful spot. We love being 5 minutes from Sugar Pine Point State Park, Desolation Wilderness and easy access to Granite Chief Wilderness. We cooked and ate out - both were easy, but most of all this is a beautiful spot to come home after a long day of hiking and continue to enjoy the beauty of being in the mountains. We will always stay here.
Bathrooms are small. This isn't a luxury property in that way, but they have everything you need.
Our family likes this little cabin very much. Love Moana circle and the private beach. We are friends with one homeowner in the circle and are starting to meet some of the neighbors.

Google Stadia review
Nothing but a stream
Matt Tate Follow @MattWTate
3 February 2020 / 19:11 GMT 25 October 2021 / 17:31 BST
On paper, Google's vision for video game streaming sounds like a genuine game-changer and then some.
Why buy a console and a pricey external hard drive when you can instantly play games on your phone, PC and in 4K on your TV on a single account, letting Google's data centres do all the heavy lifting?
But of course, it's not quite as simple as that. Google started to roll out its Stadia Founder's and Premiere Edition packages towards the end of last year, and it's been a bumpy road to where we find ourselves now.
From pricing issues – you have to buy each cloud game at full whack without really knowing how committed to the service Google is – to a small and pretty uninspiring list of day one games that has hardly multiplied beyond recognition, it's fair to say that the likes of Sony and Microsoft won't be feeling too nervous about the arrival of a new player just yet.
All of that said, we've finally got our hands on a review unit recently, and while I still have huge reservations about Google's current business model, it's hard not to at least be impressed by the basic tech.
Controller and devices: Jump around
It's been clear from day one that Google Stadia is all about cloud gaming without the need for a console or PC, but that doesn't stop it being somewhat jarring when you flick open the box to find just a controller and a Chromecast Ultra.
But they're genuinely all you need to start playing games. Once you've plugged the Chromecast into your TV's HDMI port and set it up through the Google Home app, you'll need to set up the imaginatively-named Stadia Controller. The wireless pad is itself a Wi-Fi-enabled-device, communicating directly with Google's cloud network.
To activate it you'll need to download the dedicated Stadia app, sign up for the service and follow the on-screen setup prompts. Once that's done it's just a case of entering the button code displayed on your TV to link it up and start playing. The process is impressively painless for the most part, but signing into Stadia on a friend's home network and then returning to my own seemingly required me to restart the pairing process, which was annoying.
The Stadia Controller looks a bit like a mashup of the DualShock 4 and the Xbox One's pad, but doesn't feel quite as nice in the hand as either. That's not to say it's bad, though; it's well-built with decent enough triggers and a clean overall look. The Midnight Blue pad we were given for review is probably the pick of the lot, colour-wise.
As well as the traditional face buttons, D-Pad and sticks, there's a button for capturing screenshots and gameplay, which appear almost immediately on the Stadia app on your phone, and a Google Assistant button, whose functionality at the time of writing is limited to launching a game from the Stadia home screen via the built-in mic.
The round Stadia button that sits between the thumbsticks is the one you're going to be using the most. A short press will bring up the home menu (more on that in a second) and a long press allows you to start and exit a game, and switch between accounts.
While Google intends to make the Stadia Controller wireless with any supported device, it's currently still only possible on the TV with the Chromecast Ultra. If you want to switch to a Pixel phone (still the only supported mobile devices) you have to connect the two with a USB-C to USB-C cable. Open Stadia on the Chrome browser on your laptop and plug in the pad with a USB-A to USB-C cable to play on there. It all works pretty seamlessly as long as you have the relevant wires handy.
If you want to add a Stadia controller to a different account, it's as simple as entering a code shown on screen when the device in question recognises a new pad. And if for some reason you really dislike Google's controller, you're able to use an Xbox controller instead.
Performance: better than expected
If you've got the equipment and internet speeds to facilitate it, a Stadia Pro subscription allows you to play 4K HDR games at 60fps with a 5.1 audio setup. No downloads, no updates, no patches. Of course, the latter is a very big if, and right now Google doesn't recommend firing up your Stadia account outside of the house.
For 4K gameplay, a network speed of 35 Mbps down or greater is advised. 20 Mbps should handle 1080p, and the minimum for 720p resolution at 60fps with stereo sound is 10Mbps. A 5GHz wireless band is preferable if it's available to you, and you might want to think twice if you have a data cap at home, as you can easily burn through 20GB an hour at the highest setting.
For most of my testing, speed tests informed me that I was getting anything from 55-65 Mbps. Fast, but not spectacularly so, and under these conditions Stadia performed admirably.
The first game I booted up was Tequila Works' horror-lite adventure Gylt, notable for being Stadia's only current exclusive. The game's relatively low stakes Coraline(ish) art style means it's by no means the game to judge Stadia on, but it looked great all the same.
I played some of the far more demanding Red Dead Redemption 2's online mode on a middle-of-the-road 4K HDR set with full 5.1 surround sound and it ran smoothly, with minimal texture load-in and no discernable audio syncing issues. Put it this way: if I didn't know the game was running off a remote server, I probably wouldn't have guessed.
Rage 2 and Destiny 2 also looked good, if a little muddier than their console counterparts. But it was on these games – frenetic first-person shooters – that I convinced myself of some minor input lag. Most of the time it's barely noticeable, but if you're playing a competitive game where every millisecond of reaction time counts, it might well be.
I played the first hour or so of 2015's Rise of the Tomb Raider, hopping between a 1080p non-HDR TV, a Google Pixel 4 XL kindly lent to me by its maker, and a knackered old MacBook Air. As a now fairly old game, visuals on the TV were pretty underwhelming, but the game looked lovely on the Pixel's big and bright display, and totally serviceable on the MacBook Air. Amusing, as you know that attempting to run the game on the Apple laptop's own internals would probably set it on fire within minutes. It takes a while to remember that you're essentially just renting each device's screen.
Very occasionally games stutter under the pressure, but that's hardly a problem exclusive to cloud gaming.
Interface and games: more games needed
Google had kept its service's UI under wraps in the leadup to launch, but we're pleased to report that it's nicely designed. On the homepage you can scroll through all of your games, which are illustrated by chunky cover art. It's a clean and colourful interface.
Clicking or tapping the top right-hand corner of the page will take you to your Stadia profile, where you can change your name and avatar, browse your friends list, check notifications and manage your subscriptions.
Then we come to the actual games, and this is where Google Stadia is still struggling to make a case for itself. The service launched with a paltry 22 titles, and the big-hitters on the list – the aforementioned Red Dead 2 and Destiny 2, and Assassin's Creed Odyssey – had been out on other platforms for over a year at least.
What's alarming is that since launch that offering has barely expanded, with the only notable addition being Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Breakpoint, a game that we, er, had a few issues with. This was also the game Google used to launch its Stream Connect feature, which lets you monitor the screens of up to three teammates in online multiplayer. Admittedly pretty nifty.
Google has recently ensured early adopters that 120 games will launch on Stadia in 2020, with more than 10 coming out in the first half of the year pinned as Stadia-first titles. But without any indication as to what those games are, it's quite hard to get excited.
And it's worth remembering that a Stadia subscription only gives you the ability to stream games from the cloud at whatever resolution you're willing to pay for. You still have to buy each game as if they were full-price console titles, even though all you'll actually own is the right to play on Google's servers.
You might argue that a 4K HDR 60fps game that you can play on any screen you like is better value for your hard-earned than one tied to a specific console, but remember that Google's initial pitch is still a long way from materialising, and if it suddenly pulls the plug altogether (it wouldn't be the first time), you'd be right to worry about what then happens to your game library.
The £9-a-month Stadia Pro tier gets you 'additional free games released regularly', and Google has just this week added Gylt and Metro Exodus. They join Destiny 2: The Collection, Farming Simulator 19 Platinum Edition and Thumper. Xbox Game Pass this is not.
The future: so much more to come
Google Stadia is still in its infancy, with many of its headline features yet to arrive. We're still waiting for 4K gaming on the web, support for more Android phones, iOS support, more Assistant functionality, wireless controller support across all devices and the free 1080p service. Google assures us that all of this and more is still coming in 2020, but we don't know when.
It's hard, then, to shift the perception that Stadia is still just a glorified beta, and until we get a clearer idea of when all of the above will materialise, along with a confirmed list of games, it's hard to recommend that anyone makes the jump, no matter how accomplished the tech is in isolation.
Google Stadia verdict
Google is one of the largest tech companies in the world, with an almost unrivalled infrastructure (though Microsoft might have something to say about that). If game streaming is going to properly take off, Google has as good a chance as anyone of making it work. But right now, Stadia is seriously undercooked.
Now I've stress-tested the tech for myself, I really hope it doesn't stay that way. This stuff does work, and you don't need crazy internet speeds for it to do so. An all-you-can-eat style subscription service in the mould of Xbox Game Pass would make it far more appealing though, especially as we now know that Microsoft will merge that service with its own streaming platform, Project xCloud, when it launches next year.
It'll be worth keeping an eye on Stadia over the coming months to see how the platform continues to grow. Whether Google will remain committed to its latest side hustle in the long-term is anyone's guess, but one thing's for sure: the video game streaming war is only just beginning, and like it or not, it's probably going to be the future.
Cloud gaming is exciting, but Google's take is half-baked right now, and far from consumer-friendly
It works, most of the time
Good controller
Clean UI
Lack of display support
Full price games on top of Pro subscription fee
Still missing loads of features
Weak list of games
Wired play only away from the TV

Assam cattle preservation invoice 2021 handed in Meeting after Opposition walkout
Published by BRN Editor on August 14, 2021 August 14, 2021
Amid a walkout staged by the Opposition, the Assam Cattle Preservation Invoice, 2021 — which prohibits the sale and buy of beef in areas inhabited by non-beef-eating communities and inside a radius of 5 km of a temple or a satra (Vaishnavite monastery) — was handed within the state Meeting Friday on the final day of the continued Funds session.
The brand new laws will repeal the Assam Cattle Preservation Act, 1950 and is geared toward regulating "slaughter, consumption, unlawful transportation" of cattle. It additionally prohibits the inter-state transport of cattle to and from, in addition to via Assam with out legitimate paperwork — a clause that was included ostensibly to examine cattle smuggling to Bangladesh, which shares a 263-kilometre-long border with Assam.
Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma termed the passing of the Invoice as "historic". In a Twitter put up on Friday evening, he wrote: "Extraordinarily completely satisfied and proud to meet our ballot promise with the passing of historic Assam Cattle Preservation Act, 2021. I'm certain this may deal a heavy blow to the unlawful cattle commerce & transit via Assam, guaranteeing due care of cattle as practised in our custom for ages."

— Himanta Biswa Sarma (@himantabiswa) August 13, 2021
On Friday, the Opposition Congress, AIUDF and CPI (M) proposed at the least 75 amendments and requested the federal government to refer the invoice to an Meeting choose committee for additional dialogue, however Sarma rejected the proposal. In protest, the Opposition walked out after which the Invoice was handed by voice vote. After Speaker Biswajit Daimary introduced the invoice as handed, slogans of 'Bharat Mata ki Jai' and 'Jai Shree Ram' had been heard from the BJP MLAs within the Home.
Sarma had launched the Invoice within the Meeting on July 12, saying that the 1950 Act lacked "enough authorized provisions" to control slaughter, consumption and the transportation of cattle and thus it was crucial to enact a brand new laws.
Chief of the Opposition Debabrata Saikia of Congress mentioned that the laws would have an effect on the livelihoods of the "poorest of the poor" and thus it wanted to be referred to a choose committee for additional discussions.
AIUDF MLA from Dhing, Aminul Islam additionally pushed for a number of amendments, saying that in response to a 2020 survey, there have been 1,09,09,327 cows in Assam. "So cows usually are not even endangered…that it requires such a tricky laws to guard them," he mentioned, including that there will probably be "enormous socio-economic losses to those that rear cows." He additionally added that the 5km rule was nearly as good as saying that there must be no beef consumption/cow slaughter in all the state.
"We recognize the spirit behind the clause that claims there must be no slaughter the place non-beef consuming communities reside. However the 5 km rule is problematic. There isn't a place in Assam that may fulfill these situations. The federal government would possibly as effectively have mentioned that the slaughter is banned throughout the state," he mentioned.
Sarma mentioned that the 5 km rule gained't apply to all "sorts of temples." "There will probably be guidelines…this may solely apply to temples that exist as of at this time, when the Invoice is being handed. It doesn't imply that if somebody simply identifies a spot close to a tree and calls it a 'temple', it'll come below the purview of this clause. We can have guidelines that may outline what sort of temple…temples which are centuries-old, temples which can come up in locations the place there may be archaeological proof and so forth…"
Sarma mentioned that the laws is meant to extend concord and brotherhood between the 2 communities, and was not geared toward "limiting anybody from consuming beef."
"It has no unhealthy intention — all we're saying is that don't eat beef the place Hindus and Jains reside, or inside 5 km radius of a temple," he mentioned, including that almost all communal tensions reported both in Barak Valley districts and Decrease Assam since 2015 have been related to beef.
"Many such incidents have occurred as a result of beef has been present in temples. That's the reason we've proposed that it's eaten 5 km away from the temple. We're not limiting your proper to eat, we're doing it to extend concord between Hindus and Muslims," he mentioned.
Sarma additionally mentioned that the onus of sustaining communal concord shouldn't be simply on the Hindus. "Muslims should additionally reciprocate and keep in mind Hindu sensitivities," he mentioned. "Now if at this time the Opposition had mentioned that the rule must be 6 km and never 5 km, it might have ushered a brand new chapter within the state's communal concord." "All I'm asking is to simply depart 5 km for us…you have got each proper to eat it in every single place else…I will probably be grateful if you happen to don't however I'll by no means cease you from consuming it. I respect your rights," mentioned Sarma.
Sarma, nonetheless, accepted an modification moved by AIUDF's Islam to take away 'buffaloes' from the definition within the Invoice. When it was proposed, the Invoice didn't distinguish between totally different cattle sorts and had mentioned it might apply to all cattle that features "bulls, bullocks, cows, heifer, calves, female and male buffaloes and buffalo calves." After the modification, buffaloes will probably be faraway from the definition.
Responding to Congress's opposition, Sarma mentioned that the primary Chief Minister of Assam Gopinath Bordoloi (from Congress) had launched the Act in 1950.
"Now we have not added something new on this Invoice…even within the 1950 Act it mentioned that cattle couldn't be slaughtered earlier than the age of 14. Now we have simply added {that a} cow can't be slaughtered, no matter age. So the operative level is identical," he mentioned, including: "Aside from that, we've mentioned that cattle shouldn't be killed outdoors slaughter homes — whereas the 1950 Act mentioned cattle shouldn't be killed outdoors the 'place prescribed.' Now we have added two extra factors —cattle can't be transported via Assam (with out legitimate paperwork) and the 5 km rule."
The brand new legislation additionally says that anyone discovered responsible might be jailed for a minimal time period of three years (extendable as much as eight years) and fined Rs 3 lakh (with the higher restrict Rs 5 lakh), or each. For repeat offenders, the punishment will probably be doubled. Nevertheless, it permits for sure exemptions — it gained't apply to "spiritual events" when "slaughter of cattle, not being a cow or heifer or calf" is allowed.

Tesla Fares Poorly In The 2021 J.D. Power Dependability Study
It looks bad, but there could be a reason for it.
Feb 18, 2021 at 9:51pm ET
By: Michael Cantu
Tesla did not fare well in this year's J.D. Power Dependability study. Of the 33 automakers ranked, Tesla got 30th, beating only Jaguar, Alfa Romeo, and of course Land Rover.
This was the first time Tesla got ranked by J.D. Power for dependability. The company bases the rankings on surveys from owners of vehicles that are three years old:
The 2021 Dependability ratings and awards measure reliability based on the responses from more than 80,000 verified owners of 3-year-old vehicles annually. This rating focuses on the type and number of problems owners experienced during the preceding 12 months with their 3-year-old vehicle. The fewer the number of problems reported by car owners, the higher the score.
This means the company reviewed surveys from owners of Teslas from 2018. If you can recall, late 2017 is when "production hell" was happening with the then new Model 3 that caused many build quality issues. This could be one of the reasons for Tesla's low ranking. Although, the build quality of the Model 3 and the rest of its lineup has improved over time.
The JD Power survey tracks 177 specific problems in eight categories, including HVAC problems, infotainment issues, exterior flaws, and powertrain issues.
Owners reported on average 121 problems per 100 vehicles. The top three brands are Lexus with 81 problems per 100 vehicles, Porsche was second with 86, and Kia took the bonze with 97. Tesla received 176 problems per 100 vehicles. The last three are Jaguar (186), Alfa Romeo (196), and Land Rover (244).
Tesla was the only brand with an asterisk that stated: "Tesla did not allow its vehicle owners to be surveyed, so it did not technically meet J.D. Power's ranking criteria, but the study leaders independently obtained enough data to give the brand a score." Could this be another reason for the low ranking?
However, it hasn't always been bad with J.D. Powers. Last month, Tesla got praise from the company by receiving top honors for a premium EV ownership study. Next year's dependability study should be better for Tesla since owners of 2019 vehicles will be surveyed.
Lastly, please keep in mind that Tesla was ranked against automakers that have been designing and manufacturing vehicles for decades. Tesla only has about a decade of volume production under its belt.

Luxury yacht firm Prime Experiences now accepts Bitcoin payments
Prime Experiences, a luxury yacht firm operating in North America, has announced that it will begin to accept Bitcoin payments for its services. The firm is confident that the move will be met with an immediate 40% growth from Bitcoin payments in its first year.
In addition to accepting the leading cryptocurrency as a payment option, Prime Experiences is also looking to tap blockchain technology to provide transactional security. Consequently, it will be basing its web and mobile services on blockchain tech.
José David Tobón, the company's president, further revealed that his company is already in talks with Miami's officials, probably due to the state's progressive crypto laws. He said:
With this type of currency many doors have opened, we are currently in talks with the Miami Mayor, who is interested in expanding bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies in the city. Miami could be the next Silicon Valley as most of the large companies such as Tesla, Facebook and Google are looking to enter the city.
The number of companies accepting Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies as a means of payment has continued to grow. However, in the heat of institutional adoption, Tesla recently announced that it was dumping Bitcoin as a payment choice, citing environmental concerns.

The Red Square is located in middle of Moscow, Russia. It is the 0 kilometer mark from which the rest of the city spans. The center was originally constructed to be Moscow's main marketplace. The Czar in power at the time, Alexei Mikhailovich, burned down a lot of buildings in order to create the Red Square instead. There have also been many famous and prominent speeches and parades that took place in the square. It is now a ceremonial site for the Russian government. The square parts the Kremlin from Kitai-gorod. The Kremlin is where the President of Russia now resides and it is also the former royal citadel. The area is historically known for its merchants. The name is derived from the Russian translation of "beautiful".
The Red Square has always been a market, but also has had a public library, a theatre, a printing press, and a university. It is visited by twenty million tourists annually. A military parade in 1941 in the Red Square established its use for displays of military might, which still take place today. This particular parade was ordered by Joseph Stalin and was filled with propaganda for the Second World War. Others marches in the Red Square include trade unions, government displays of authority, and a traditional May Day parade. Czars used to make important speeches at the Red Square, and they would also make examples of those who refused to follow them. There were executions of traitors in the area, with the czars behind the act.
There is a platform in the square named the Lobnoye Mesto. The czars delivered their annual messages on this. The Red Square is called the Red Square because of the connection between the color red and communism. The name used to refer to only one section of the square and then it was extended to the whole construction by Alexei Mikhailovich.
St. Basil's Cathedral is located at the southern end of the red square, another powerful landmark in Moscow. There are nine towers on the cathedral. It was built under the rule of Ivan the Terrible to commemorate the capture of Kazan and Astrakhan, a turning point in Russian efforts to defeat the Mongols. It was originally named Church of the Intercession but it is commonly called St. Basil's Cathedral now. This is because there was a prophet named Basil who successfully predicted a fire in Moscow.
Stalin was an influential figure once buried at the Red Square, but his body was removed because he was no longer deemed worthy of the high honor of a burial in the Red Square. Lenin however is still buried in the walls of the Red Square. In more modern times, the square has been used as a venue for very popular concerts. There have been performances by Paul McCartney, Red Hot Chili Peppers, and Shakira. Paul McCartney was a monumental moment considering that the Beatles were banned from the Soviet Union. There is a GUM department store and the State Historical Museum in the square today. A fun fact about the Red Square is that it is in fact not square, it is a rectangle. There is a tower on the Kremlin that Ivan the Terrible used to spy on people. There is only one statue in the square, even though it is a very commemorative place. The statue is of two Russians who stood against the invasion of Poland during World War II. The Red Square is an influential piece of architecture that has withstood many changes in Russia and many rules.

Marlene Johnson North Carolina
Marlene Johnson is one of those women who are so obsessed with their men they go to unusual lengths to stay in his life, even when hes long gone. Marlene was married to Ervin Johnson but they had separated. Ervin worked at Tuscaro Yarns, as did another woman 62-year-old Shirley Goodnight Pierce. For reasons not yet discovered, Marlene Johnson decided the two were having an affair and took it upon herself to start a one-woman campaign of hate against Pierce. She stalked her, harassed her, attacked her and made her life a living hell for years. Restraining orders were filed over and over. Marlene was ordered to stay away from Shirley's home and place of employment. There is no evidence that suggests Shirley was having an affair with Ervin. Her own private investigators reported there was no reason to believe they were sleeping together but still she believed it.
Johnson is accused of beating and stabbing Shirley
Goodnight Pierce at her Kannapolis home on the morning of July 23, 2013. Investigators say she broke into her home and beat and stabbed her to death. Her fiance found her body in the bath t ub. She was riddled with stab wounds, the knife still stuck in her neck.
Marlene was immediately suspected and was found with incriminating evidence. She was arrested only 12 hours after Shirley's body was found.
When she learned the death penalty was on the table, she flung herself off her bunk in an attempt to break her neck but received only cuts and bruises. Her case was scheduled for court this year but documents were filed in February to postpone it due to lack of county resources.

Once he had finished his assembly display, he shared a glass of the white stuff with pupils, thanks to Midlands Co-op Dairies, in conjunction with the National Farmers' Union.
Kate Fuller, of Midlands Coop Dairies, said: "Many children are unaware of the benefits of drinking milk.
"We hope that this talk will encourage them to drink milk as a healthy alternative to sugary soft drinks."


What is the 4-Play - The first and only adapter that allows a gamer to use a wide range of original peripherals intended for the console on a computer. We stop at none when it comes to adding to our already massive controller support. All controllers are converted to USB and use the same code, so the mapping is global. All the power to the 4-Play is in the box, the cables are just wires. Many gamers make their own cables and the adapter can be sold separately. The 4-Play is packed full of features and is the last and only USB adapter you will ever buy.
How it works - Since the dawn of the micro-controllers and some time before, electronics needed a way to communicate. Like our own verbal language electronics has had many different "languages" if you will. Although with electronics you have really two main options; analog and digital. Each have their advantages but both serve as a way to listen and talk back to other components and chips. When you break it all down, it is all analog data in the form of fluctuating voltages and resistances.
When dealing with controllers you have this very thing occurring. Controllers will speak a known langue, a basic communication, or its own dialect of languages. It many cases some manufactures decided to create their own new langue.
Some of these controllers have a wire for each button where others send out a data string to show the state of buttons.
The 4-Play is constructed of 4 adapters each able to communicate with many controllers. Unlike most adapters it has a few stages and modes making it a lot more like a system then an adapter. Stages are (but not limited to); Boot up, USB setup, detection of controllers, communication mode, searching mode, IO operations, API handler, restart, etc... When you first plug in the 4-Play USB cable there is a lot of magic going on inside to make sure it does its job.
All of this work is done in a fraction of a second and ready to use the minute you plug it in. Though it does not stop there, the features of the 4-Play are just getting started. Ever wonder why so many adapters need drivers, lack rumble, or other features? To put it short, lazy. The 4-Playspared no expense. Drivers? Who needs them... it's a HID, rumble sure we got that, features? Bring it on. The 4-Play was developed to take advantage of the HID system. HID has already built a mechanism to deal with these sorts of things. Bliss-Box was one of the only companies to use the HID FFB system that the Microsoft Sidewinder used. As for the other features like memory cards and LCD writes, it uses the USB control transfer process. As a matter of a fact, the 4-Play will even allow you to tunnel the native controller language thru USB. What does that mean? Well, it means talking Gamecube lingo inside a shell that gets sent from the controller thru the USB and opened on the other side (the emulator). So,in essence the controller and the emulator are talking directly.
How can this be any more attractive? Why not allow an API? An API is an Application programming interface. Meaning, a way to interface with the 4-Play adapter in code. This can be done in a number of ways from writing applications or just sending bat commands. Either way the goal is the same. Want to send LCD data to the LCD screen on the DreamCast controller, make a controller rumble, set your own mappings... You Can with the API and so can Emulators. So now it is possible for an emulator to send this type of data and get it back. Bliss-Box and RetroArch have been working together for a year. The two projects have built a way to allow these communications to take place. Other emulators may follow but you cannot beat the drive of RetroArch and the team. Down to earth and very motivated in bring emulation to a computer of all kinds. So it only makes sense that Bliss-Box is part of that and, it is.

High hope | Evolution
September 27, 2013 5 Minutes
Ever since Björn Söderberg first set foot in Nepal at the age of 19, he has devoted his life to improving the economic conditions for the people there, through companies that combine profit and sustainable development.
It's been a bit more than a decade since Björn Söderberg decided it was time to leave the familiar world of his small hometown in Sweden. His decision to do volunteer work in Kathmandu, Nepal, would change his life.
"The family I was assigned to stay with turned out to be an orphanage by the dirty and contaminated Bagmati River," says Söderberg, now 31. "I had thought that leaving my computer behind was the hardest part, but I realized right away that the real challenge was to survive without clean water."
From the rooftop of the orphanage overlooking Kathmandu, Söderberg found it hard to watch a pattern get repeated day after day. "Every morning the same women waded through the dirty river to wash their clothes, and every evening the children tried to keep warm by gathering around fires fuelled by rubbish found along the riverbed," he recalls. "I realized that this was the future that my new family faced. I had a choice: I could book a return ticket to an easy life back home, or I could do something about what was happening here."
Söderberg needed a business idea that could generate jobs and get rid of at least some of the litter. With no money, and with Christmas coming up, the solution was holiday cards. He found a Swedish buyer. The next step was to develop a simple method to recycle paper and print and deliver 3,000 cards. His solution worked; within a month he had built Watabaran, a company housed under four bamboo poles and a tin roof.
"This is how, at the age of 19, I became a boss," he says with a big smile.
The Gothenburg Award for Sustainable Development is an international prize that recognizes and supports work to achieve sustainable development. The prize, which carries with it a monetary award of 1 million Swedish kronor (120,000 euros) is decided by an independent jury and administered and funded by a coalition of the Swedish City of Gothenburg and 12 companies, including SKF. The 2012 award is shared by entrepreneur Björn Söderberg and Michael Biddle, founder of the recycling company MBA Polymers. For more on Biddle and MBA see Evolution #3 2013.
Being a boss carried responsibilities. The company had eight employees, and hardly any of them could read or write. "Employing a teacher turned out to be the most profitable investment I ever made," Söderberg says. "A year later I was running a completely different company, where everybody shared the same view and goal for the business. I realized this was how a profitable business should be built."
In 2005, Söderberg set up the Nepalese IT company Web Search, which performs programming services and builds websites for Swedish customers. The combination of education and work opportunities was the backbone of the business. "Nepal needs jobs for people with high qualifications," he says. "Many people with ambition and education leave the country."
Söderberg's energy is contagious. He's a popular speaker in Sweden as well as a great coach for young people in Nepal. Those who lack the means to pay for their education can apply for a scholarship at Web Search. Half of their time is reserved for university studies, and the other half is dedicated to working as paid trainees at the company. The price the students pay is to stay and work for the company for four years after their exams. Today, this is a thriving business with 30 employees. The next step is to encourage some of these employees to create spin-off companies.
"If I stay as CEO, this can never be bigger than me," Söderberg says. "With this solution, I will go from boss to customer, and they can grow by finding more and new customers locally and in other countries."
The paper recycling company has since become the briquette company Shuba Briquettes Pvt Ltd. "I wanted to build something that makes a difference locally," Söderberg says. "There is a fuel crisis in Nepal, which has led to rainforest devastation. This in turn creates disastrous landslides during the rainy season. Making briquettes is a way to produce an effective fuel that's even cheaper than firewood."
Söderberg's parent company, Fair Enterprise, employs 60 people and generates jobs for 40 more. Fair Enterprise is starting its first Nepalese childcare centre this year.
Söderberg is co-winner (with Michael Biddle of MBA Polymers) of the 2012 Gothenburg Award for Sustainable Development. He plans to use his share of the 1 million Swedish kronor (120,000 euro) prize to tackle a water-supply issue. "Climate changes are causing the ice in the Himalayas to melt, which interferes with the water supply in the valleys," he says. "Areas where the farmers used to get three rice crops per year now only get two, and, in the worst cases, only one harvest."
Söderberg has a vision for a solution: a water pump driven by the force of the river at the bottom of the valley and used to irrigate cultivated terraces on the valley's slopes. With characteristic confidence, he says he is sure he will find a solution that works and that can eventually be run and owned by the local farmers.

No "Bailout" for The World's Poorest
Published on Tuesday, September 30, 2008 by Inter Press Service
by Thalif Deen
UNITED NATIONS - As a spreading financial crisis threatens to deepen the economic recession in the United States, the news of an unprecedented 700-billion-dollar bailout package reverberated through the corridors of the United Nations last week as over 100 world leaders gathered in New York for the annual talk-fest: the 63rd session of the General Assembly.
Michael Douglas as Gordon Gecko in the 1987 film "Wall Street." His speech to a meeting of stock traders is still considered a classic on Wall Street: "The point is, ladies and gentleman, that greed, for lack of a better word, is good. Greed is right, greed works." (File photo)
At a time when the United Nations is seeking increased financial assistance from rich nations to help developing countries meet the faltering Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), including a 50-percent reduction on extreme poverty and hunger by 2015, the current U.S. economic crisis and its predictably negative fallout overseas is expected to be a major setback.
Addressing delegates last week, U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon warned that the current gloomy outlook threatens the well-being of billions of people, "none more so than the poorest of the poor."
"This only compounds the damage [already] being caused by much higher prices for food and fuel", he added.
Ban has called for 72 billion dollars per year in additional external financing to achieve the MDGs by 2015.
As one Asian delegate put it: "The 72 billion is peanuts compared to the 700 billion the White House wants to dish out to save some of the Wall Street firms from going belly up."
"And the urgent needs of developing nations will now be the least of the priorities of the United States and other Western donors," he predicted.
Father Miguel d'Escoto Brockman of Nicaragua, the newly-elected president of the General Assembly, warned that the current financial crisis will have "very serious consequences" that will impede the significant progress, "if indeed any progress is made", towards the targets established by the MDGs, "which are themselves insufficient".
"It is always the poor who pay the price for the unbridled greed and irresponsibility of the powerful," he said, taking a passing shot at the staggering 700-billion-dollar bailout proposed by the administration of President George W. Bush to save the high-stakes investment banks of New York from bankruptcy and collapse.
Norwegian Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg told delegates that "money doesn't seem to be a problem, when the problem is money".
"Let us look for a moment at what is happening on Wall Street and in financial markets around the world. There, unsound investment threatens the homes and jobs of the middle class," he added.
There is something fundamentally wrong, he argued, "when money seems to be abundant, but funds for investment in people seem so short in supply".
Jamaican Prime Minister Bruce Golding told the General Assembly that the crisis currently rocking the world's financial markets reflects the inadequacy of the regulatory structures that are essential to the effective functioning of any market.
But it is more than that. It represents the failure on the part of the international financial system to facilitate the flow of resources into areas where they can produce real wealth -- not paper wealth, he added.
Golding said the world is not short of capital: "What it lacks are the mechanisms to ensure the efficient utilisation of that capital."
As the economic meltdown in the United States continues, the casualties are piling up both among commercial and investment banks: Bear Stearns, Lehman Brothers and Washington Mutual (allowed to collapse with no government bailout); American International Group, Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley (allowed to survive with emergency financial assistance, including some from the government); Merrill Lynch has been folded into Bank of America and Citigroup has taken over Wachovia Bank.
The outrage against Wall Street, described as the world's financial capital, is also directed at the high salaried chief executive officers and the middle rung bosses who make multi-million-dollar salaries, with stock options and perks that set them up in a privileged class by themselves.
According to one report, the lowest salary on Wall Street was around 280,000 dollars a year in a country where the average low or middle class employee would go home with a pay packet of 50,000 or 75,000 dollars per year.
In 2007, the chief executive officer (CEO) of Goldman Sachs, Lloyd Blankfein, was paid 68.7 million dollars -- described as "the most ever for a Wall Street CEO."
As the entire U.S. economic edifice is in danger of collapsing, the White House has been called upon to save some of the biggest financial institutions in the country and, at the same time, redress the excesses of Wall Street business tycoons who earned multi-million-dollar salaries and extravagant bonuses.
The greed factor in the crisis is that these same tycoons, who are responsible for mismanaging their companies, still insist on continuing with their same lavish lifestyles and lofty salaries even after the massive taxpayer-funded bailout.
But these salaries and bonuses are likely to be curbed as part a return for the bailout package.
Addressing the 192-member General Assembly last week, the President of Brazil Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva said the economy of any country is "too serious an undertaking to be left in the hands of speculators".
Ethics must also apply to the economy, he said. But, unfortunately, in the race for profits, the ethical factor has ceased to exist.
The president quoted the Brazilian economist Celso Furtado who once said: "We must not allow speculators' profits always to be privatised, while their losses are invariably socialised."
And as a postscript, the Brazilian president added: "We must not allow the burden of the boundless greed of a few to be shouldered by all."
In the 1987 Hollywood movie 'Wall Street,' Oscar-winning actor Michael Douglas plays the role of a ruthless corporate raider, Gordon Gekko, who forsakes all business ethics to climb to the highest echelons of the business world.
His speech to a meeting of stock traders is still considered a classic on Wall Street: "The point is, ladies and gentleman, that greed, for lack of a better word, is good. Greed is right, greed works."
"Greed clarifies, cuts through, and captures the essence of the evolutionary spirit. Greed, in all of its forms; greed for life, for money, for love, knowledge has marked the upward surge of mankind."
Douglas, who is the U.N.'s goodwill ambassador for disarmament and a "messenger for peace", was at the United Nations last week to participate in the International Day of Peace.
Responding to a reporter who asked him: "Are you saying, Gordon, that greed is not good?," a visibly annoyed Douglas shot back: ""I am not saying that. And my name is not Gordon. He's a character I played 20 years ago."
