Aged water towers that are still left from the former Sunflower Army Ammunition Plant between De Soto and Eudora are shown on Aug. 5, 2022.
A $4 billion, 4,000-job manufacturing plant for electric vehicle batteries will break ground in nearby De Soto in the coming days and should be producing batteries by early 2025, Panasonic officials announced Monday.
The international news service Reuters reported Monday that Japanese-based Panasonic Holdings Corp. had given final approval to the massive battery plant, which was preliminarily announced by the company and Kansas economic development officials in July. A groundbreaking is scheduled for November, with some outlets reporting it could be as soon as Wednesday.
The project was hailed as the state's biggest economic development project in generations, with the plant itself expected to produce 4,000 jobs, while suppliers closely tied to the plan are expected to produce another 4,000 jobs in the area. The state also is estimating 16,500 construction jobs will be created by the plant and related infrastructure and development in the region.
On Monday, Panasonic made clear that the project is now full speed ahead. Reuters reported the company wants to be producing batteries at the plant by March 2025. As part of its quarterly earnings calls, Panasonic confirmed it will be making a lithium-ion battery — its 2170 model — that already is being used by Tesla for its electric vehicles. The company, however, also may use the De Soto plant to produce a larger, more advance battery — known as its 4680 format battery — that is expected to be critical in improving the driving range of electric vehicles and lowering the cost of those vehicles.
But Panasonic's leader said it did not want to do anything to slow down the start of the De Soto project; thus the company will start production with the existing 2170 model.
"We decided to start with the 2170 model, which can be launched with a sense of certainty and speed because of the need for batteries as soon as possible," Hirokazu Umeda, Pansonic's chief financial officer said on the earnings call, according to Reuters.
The battery plant is being built on a portion of the former Sunflower Army Ammunition Plant in De Soto. The sprawling Army complex includes thousands of acres along Kansas Highway 10 between Lawrence and Olathe, with much of the plant now having been annexed into the city limits of De Soto.
De Soto, a Johnson County community of about 6,500 people, is expected to see significant growth as a result of the new plant. But the plant site is only about a 20-minute drive from parts of Lawrence and is about a five-minute drive from Eudora, a 6,500 population city on the eastern edge of Douglas County.
As the Journal-World reported, the Economic Development Corporation of Lawrence & Douglas County recently hired an executive as its "Panasonic opportunities manager" to capitalize on potential development opportunities for the Douglas County area.
While the plant itself will be in Johnson County, the project is expected to create new demand for housing in Eudora and Lawrence, and there's also speculation that some suppliers to the plant and other spinoff businesses could look to locate in Douglas County.
Rob Richardson, the new Panasonic opportunities manager, told the Journal-World earlier this month that he's still trying to quantify the spinoff potential for Douglas County but said "I'm pretty confident that we are going to get a good amount of spin-off from the project."
The Panasonic plant is expected to produce a huge boost to Panasonic's capacity to produce electric vehicle batteries in the U.S. On its earning call, the company said it expects the De Soto plant to produce 30 gigawatt hours of battery power per year, which is the equivalent of about 60% of the company's EV battery production in Japan and the U.S., Reuters reported.
Kansas offered unprecedented economic development incentives to convince the company to locate in the state. As reported in July, the state offered incentives of $829 million over 10 years to the company.
The incentives are tied to the size of the plant. At the Monday earnings call, Panasonic's CFO declined to give a specific dollar amount of the expected investment in the De Soto plant, but said it would be "on a scale of more than $4 billion," according to Reuters.
Monday's report didn't include any information on expected wages at the Panasonic plant, or when hiring may begin at the facility. However, the Journal-World reported in August that an executive with Lawrence-based Peaslee Tech has been working with Panasonic as a future training partner for employees. Those discussions, which included a review of a similar Panasonic plant in Nevada, indicated that virtually all Panasonic positions at that facility were making wages of $50,000 or more.
The August report also noted that Panasonic would like to be hiring employees by the third quarter of 2024, which now seems likely given Panasonic's announced production date of March 2025.

The weather today is a bit gloomy, windy and cold! I am so not a fan of cold weather! Mid 70's all year round or warmer would be ideal for me! However, my children have zero desire to move from Long Island so I just have to accept that winter is approaching! At least I can create cute holiday cards inside my warm cozy craft room! Today's card features The Season of Cheer Holiday Card, the fourth card from my November Christmas Card Club.
Season of Cheer Holiday Card!
The variety of patterns in the Christmas Around the World Designer Series Paper is AWESOME! I love the pattern on this particular sheet because of the London phone booths! I was in London this past July and it reminded me of my trip. What a wonderful city to visit! Hope you don't mind if I share a few pictures.
As you can see the assortment of patterns is perfect for Christmas! Many sheets have vibrant colors and then a few are more subdued. I used several of the patterns to create numerous holiday projects. The Christmas Tree is part of the Santa's Sleigh Stamp Set and Thinlits. I love the shape of it and it was ideal to use with the paper. Stampin' Up! products make creating so much fun! If you do not own any of these items, be sure to add them to your cart on Bonnie's Online Store!
The card fold, as my customers refer to it "the Bonnie fold," is one I often do. It's a basic cut of 4 1/4″ x 11″ and scored at 5 1/2." With the 11″ across the top of the trimmer, I CUT a 2 3/4″ piece off. This is used for the top portion of my card. I layered the inside of the card with a 4″ x 5 1/4″ piece of Pool Party and stamped a border on the edge. Stamp the words on a 2 1/2″ x 4″ Whisper White Card Stock. The card was a hit at class!
One last look at all of the card featured in the November Christmas Club.
NEW Card Club starting in January!

Hyperfishing uses high performance cars and boats to do more than sit in front of restaurants.....we fish 'em!
There are lots of articles and photos on this site describing the adventures we have experienced doing just that, and cruising long distances in the process.
Of new and revolutionary significance though, Hyperfishing has developed precedent shattering products which greatly facilitate fishing from high performance stern drive boats. The Hyperfishing Conversion System transforms the cushioned engine hatch into a useful platform suitable for catching large fish, or having a party on with plenty of safe seating!
Have a change of heart? It takes fifteen minutes to revert back to gofast by removing the fighting chair, taking off the box, folding the arms and reinstalling the engine hatch cushion. Fifteen minutes later, reverse the process and you have a fishboat/cruiser again.
The products are made of top quality aluminum that is powder coated to match your boat. Best of all, the products are designed to be quickly removed or folded to preserve the sleek styling of your boat, the main reason you likely bought it in the first place. The new products are the Hyperfishing Removable Box, the Hyperfishing Folding Arms, the Hyperfishing Fighting Chair Brace, and the Hyperfishing Rod Holder Support Brace.
We have developed the funky logo above to celebrate all the Hyperfishing Conversion System, and you can buy hats and shirts displaying it if you desire.
We thought you would like it. Get a grip on your wrap around sunglasses, as this site gets even more intense!


(CNSNews.com) - A priest who was with Terri Schiavo in the final hours before her death said Wednesday the autopsy findings do not change the moral aspects of her death, which he called "a murder."
Fr. Frank Pavone of Priests for Life said the details of the autopsy do not change what happened to Terri.
"Her physical injuries and disabilities never made her less of a person. No amount of brain injury ever justifies denying a person proper humane care. That includes food and water," said Pavone.
"A person with a 'profoundly atrophied' brain needs profound care and love. Terry did not die from an atrophied brain. She died from an atrophy of compassion on the part of her estranged husband and those who helped him to have her deliberately killed," he concluded.
Meanwhile, the pro-life group American Life League also said that the autopsy findings are irrelevant and do not "justify the cruel death by dehydration that was imposed on a living human being."
"The fact remains that Terri was not dying, did not have a terminal condition, and could have continued to survive with proper nutrition and hydration," said ALL President Judie Brown in a statement.
Brown pointed to the Catechism of the Catholic Church, which defines "direct euthanasia" - a "morally unacceptable" matter - as "putting an end to the lives of handicapped, sick, or dying persons" no matter what the motives and means are.
"There are those who will use this autopsy report to claim that the death by dehydration imposed on Terri Schiavo was compassionate or merciful," said Brown. "Others would say such a life is not worth living. Such thinking is misguided and absolutely wrong. Those decisions are not ours to make."
Brown urged those concerned about Terri's plight to assemble a morally acceptable healthcare directive, such as ALL's Loving Will.
"The bottom line is, Terri died an excruciatingly cruel death which simply cannot be justified," Brown concluded.

Operation Save America vs Islam
Posted on September 26, 2009 by Richard Bartholomew
Some footage from the "Islam on Capitol Hill" prayer rally, which in fact turned out to be a rather low-key affair, aside from some abuse from a Christian Right group:
The call went out last week:
Well friends and fellow believers, the Muslims are coming to the Capitol on Friday, September 25 to stake a claim of conquest over our nation. We must not miss this opportunity to:
1- Bring the Glorious Gospel to thousands of Muslims
2- Delegitimize this event, which is a facade and ploy to portray Islam as peaceful when it is actually bent on a bloody global conquest
3- Offer a prophetic rebuke to this false event, and the false prophet and religion that they have come to promote
4- Show them that Americans and especially Christians will not stand for this
5- Embolden other believers and hopefully millions of Americans to rise up against this threat to our nation and our freedoms before it is too late
And so we intend to be with them from early on in the Morning until the late afternoon. Pray we acquire our sound permits so that we can preach the Gospel to thousands at a time. We will have signs and will be wearing shirts that proclaim the truth.
More Christian right hysteria over the rally here.

Harassment against Tim Ireland
Tim Ireland's latest blog entry deals with Patrick Mercer's contradictory statements concerning whether or not he worked with Glen Jenvey, who has admitted to concocting a bogus Muslim-themed scare story as tabloid fodder. As Hugh Muir noted in yesterday's Guardian:
…Last week we raised the question of Patrick Mercer, who chairs the parliamentary counterterrorism subcommittee, and had endorsed Jenvey as a man "who needs to be listened to". The MP strongly condemned Jenvey's deception, which occurred in January. "My office certainly received information from him but never worked with him," he said. And that's fine with us. But not with Mr Ireland's site, Bloggerheads, for now it publishes an email sent by a Mercer aide to the People newspaper. "I have been in touch with Mr Jenvey about a number of things, but most of all the following, which in my view would combine well to make a very good Sunday story," it says. All quite collegiate then, but it comes down to the definition of "working" together, say sources close to the MP. Mercer himself had no further dealings with Jenvey, though his officials occasionally received information from him. Sometimes it checked out. Sometimes not. Two months after doubts were raised about Jenvey's dodgy activities, the link between the fabricator and Mercer's aides had yet to be broken. A shadowy world, this counterterrorism.
Tim uncovered the Jenvey's fabrication back in January, and I've been helping with some follow-up and background work (which is why I get a mention in Muir's article, too). However, while our efforts have been vindicated, Tim has also had to endure a great deal of hassle as a result, which is still ongoing. Jenvey's original reaction was to plant bogus postings on websites about Thailand accusing Tim of being a paedophile; he has since apologised for this as part of his confession. More recently, Tim was the subject of an attack piece by an former associate of Jenvey named Dominic Wightman (also known as "Dominic Whiteman"; photographed posing with Mercer outside New Scotland Yard here), who had tried to manipulate Tim and me into writing about another person, against whom he has a grudge (I've blogged this previously).
But there's worse; Tim now tells us that
…the attacks have now escalated to a stage where (oh, you'll love this) my home address has been repeatedly published online by an unknown number of anonymous attackers, and deliberately broadcast to supporters of Alisher Usmanov, Paul Staines, Iain Dale and now Nadine Dorries.
These are all public figures with whom Tim has had well-known disputes. However, it should be noted that Tim is careful and responsible with personal information about other people; and that his enemies also include other characters who might be capable of actual harm. The attackers are too cowardly to put their own real names next to their postings of Tim's address; it seems, however, they have read Wightman's claim that Tim is in league with Islamic extremists (Wightman's rationale for lying to us) and they figure that this provides a justification for the cheap thrills and pathetic sense of empowerment that their harrassment doubtless gives them. They are also using the claim that Tim is an "electronic stalker"; Tim is tenacious and thorough in tracking down examples of on-line deception and dodgy practices, and he is persistent in asking reasonable questions of those who owe him – or the public – answers, and his opponents have spun this into a "stalker" label. Indeed, Mercer has apparently seized on this to deflect criticism, and Tim complains, justifiably, that
So they're telling their supporters/readers that I'm some mad stalker while knowing that some real bastards using genuine forms of harassment are on my case.

Fremantle chief executive Steve Rosich has flagged a review of the club's 2018 injury track record and skill level in the wake of the horrid 133-point defeat by Geelong on Saturday.
Backed coach Ross Lyon, declaring him a key figure in the club's four draft rebuild.
Accepted criticism and questioning of the club after the performance against the Cats, declaring it a disappointing loss.
Defended the re-signing of Hayden Ballantyne and Harley Bennell, with the likely signing of Aaron Sandilands to come this week.
Said the club would be reluctant to trade its top 10 draft pick from this year's national draft but "you never say never".
Said the club would make fewer than the 11 list changes it averaged in the past two seasons but would try to trade back into the second and third rounds of the draft and was assessing free agency and trade options.
"Clearly it was a disappointing game on Saturday after a promising first quarter and I am not surprised there are many questions being asked," Rosich said.
"We don't shy away from questions but the answer to the question with respect to Ross is yes (he is safe). He is contracted and a key part of driving our future performances." The Dockers have missed a long list of experienced players for extended periods of the season. Veteran ruckman Sandilands has missed 10 games with calf problems, Nat Fyfe six with a hamstring injury, Stephen Hill eight with quad issues, Matt Taberner 13 with a foot problem while knee injuries have sidelined Connor Blakely (eight games) and Bradley Hill (12).
Joel Hamling (groin) missed four weeks and Griffin Logue (foot) and Bennell (calf) have not played at AFL level this year.
"One area we have already started looking at is our injury rates," Rosich said.
The West Australian expects the number of list changes to be between six and eight with Michael Johnson, Danyle Pearce and Lee Spurr to retire.
Rosich was strong in his defence of the re-signings of Ballantyne and Bennell and the likely re-signing of Sandilands.
"The balanced list management view is that some of those senior players are valuable in contributing to the environment and contributing on the field. We are a young list so it is a balanced decision," he said.

Rosich said people could criticise the Dockers not being in the second and third rounds of this year's draft but added: "Nathan Wilson is effectively our second-round pick and we are delighted to have Nathan and we wouldn't change that.
Rosich accepted criticism of the team's skill level as "fair".

BJ The Chicago Kid Propels His Newfound Independence With Perspective And Intention
Wongo OkonStaff WriterInstagramTwitter
As quiet as it's sometimes kept, BJ The Chicago Kid's resume is undeniably good. The neo-soul-inspired singer remains consistent at impressing listeners and delivering quality music, as he's done for over a decade. His six Grammy nominations and excellent debut album In My Mind are each proof of this while his sophomore album 1123 and various collaborations with some of today's biggest names add to the mix of BJ's outstanding catalog.
Things nowadays, however, are a bit different for the singer. For the first time since 2012, BJ The Chicago Kid is traversing the music world as an independent artist. His decision to cruise solo was made last summer, but it was earlier this month that he released his first independent project: 4 AM, a four-track EP with guest appearances from Lucky Daye and Eric Bellinger.
BJ The Chicago Kid is well aware of the success he's attained within the music industry. He hopes the wisdom he gained through his experiences will lead him to an ideal destination in the future. " I want to build an awesome universe of creativity that still helps the world, that still services to world, that still services our people," he says during a Zoom call. "Through it all, I'm talking to us, whoever else in the room listening, cool. Did you like it? Cool. But I'm talking to us."
Shortly after he released 4 AM to the world, Uproxx spoke to the singer about the new project, independence, his progression since In My Mind, and where he hopes it will all lead next.
Congratulations on the new project, it's your first release in a couple of years. What was the spark behind 4 AM?
I wanted to drop music sooner than now, just the way handling the business with songs goes with the producers, all that stuff to do it right takes time. Along with being called for other things that we love to be a part of, you know, it just took its course and its time, but man, I'm always inspired to put out music. I'd love to put out something today.
This project gives a little bit of everything you can do as an artist: The laid-back tracks with "Type Of Day," the remorseful songs with "Make You Feel Good," and the bedroom ballads with "Love You Slow." Do you feel like you're re-establishing or even proving yourself once again as a new independent act?
I think it's both. I wanted to pick up where I left off while re-establishing myself as well. My most creative musical heroes have always reinvented themselves with every album: different haircuts, outfit styles, and sounds. I'm from that class. I'm honored to actually be blessed to hear more than what they know me for. Sometimes to get to a certain sound you want — I call them steps on the ladder. Some songs are steps on the ladder to get you to that next level that you want to get to and sometimes those songs that we call the steps in the ladder, some of those never come out. So creatively it's up to you, what it's saying to you, and the people that help you.
On this project, you have features with Eric Bellinger and Lucky Daye. Those are two very talented R&B acts, one you've worked with before and the other who you have not. What made those two the perfect people to work with on this project?
I'm friends with both of them in reality. They're two brothers that I will always rock for, rock with, and support at all times. I get the same from them as well. Musically talented, totally respected not just by me, but by the world. I've known Eric for over ten years and I've known Lucky for a little bit under ten years and I think it's just been incredible watching their journey. I think the fans deserve R&B done the right way and honestly, most of my collaborators are really my friends. Some things were business, but most people that I collaborate with for my music, we really rock together in a strong way.
What do you mean by "R&B done the right way"?
R&B the right way because it's a lot of hip-hop that came into R&B as far as the mentality. The quick-fix, add water, put in a microwave, and you can eat it. I get it, I love it, we make music like that as well, but where we come from, it's somewhere a little bit more steeper. It has a little bit more foundation.
Now that you're a project into independence, what was the hardest thing about starting your independent journey during a time like the pandemic?
The hardest thing in quarantine was looking at myself in the mirror and seeing some assets and facets that I never had before. To realize it first is a thing you do before changing it. I made some apologies to some people where I didn't realize what I've done. I've bettered myself, that helps with the music with me always. Certain songs like "Heart Crush" are real songs from my life. Every song isn't, but standing in tune with my antennas up and not being afraid to live gives me so much more to write about. That balance is one thing that I've noticed some time ago about me. Even the way I sing and go through things, it pulls more out of you. You have to be vulnerable enough to let that happen, so it's a blessing to kind of even know myself. Am I creative and vulnerable enough to give the people more than what they paid for? Whether it's a CD or a live show. I'm not afraid to live, and not being afraid to live is not being afraid to write, sing, perform, and connect with people because we all kind of go through some of the same things.
Is it safe to say that, now more than ever, you know what you want for yourself as an artist?
I always have, but honestly with the fan base that I got through Motown, the exposure, the alliance was such a legendary entity. Am I really mad? You got to pick and choose your battles man, you got to really sit back and know what a blessing is. What independent artists have had this amount of followers and this amount of support when independent? So it's perspective man, perspective can change it all. That's where I'm at with it: perspective and being intentional. Those two words are the next tattoos I'm probably going to get, because for the last two years, those two words have come up in my conversation every day, multiple times a day. To be intentional is to know exactly how you want somebody to feel from what you're doing. You want to be strategic with that so it's not misunderstood or deterred. To hit your target right on the head with timing and precision. Perspective changes the world.
What's the most random or unique thing — musically — that's happened to you over the past couple of years?
I worked with Ron Isley in the studio, fire. I worked with Philip Bailey in the studio, fire. That's all I can say haha, I can't say no more!
You're someone who takes some time in between full bodies of work. With that being said, what does the building blocks, foundation, and/or perspective of your next album look like?
In my phone right now, I got a list of song titles and explanations of what I want the perspective of the title of some of them, at least about 250 of them. My switch broke bro, I can't turn it off. So just the ideas and the concepts — I have movie concepts, stories, I have so much stuff coming out of me creatively that I have to find time to get the ball rolling for everything that I feel like should be next. It's almost like my life depends on the next level. That's how intense the progress has to happen, but there's no rush. Some things are slow builds, some things write themselves in 10 minutes. We wrote "Turnin Me Up" in 15 minutes, the track took less time and we didn't put it out 'til four years after the song was done. So every step of it told us it was gonna be timeless, it never faded. Always stick with it. If you got something that's timeless, stay with it, because it will always fit.
When it's all said and done, what do you value and want the most for your legacy?
This is the best way to describe it: Have you driven by your crib and seen the rubble from what used to be a building? Then the next week, they got the gate with the tarp on it? The next week they got the sign saying coming soon Walgreens or some sh*t like that. Every week you see them building more and more, more and more, and when they're done you're like, "Wow, not only is it a Walgreens down here, but they put lofts and condominiums above it and it's crazy fire, now the whole value of the whole neighborhood is up." Every song is a brick. I made a house and I'm trying to make a neighborhood. After I make a beautiful neighborhood, I'm gonna try to make a beautiful city, and from that city, a beautiful state. I'm trying to make the United States and once I find out how to do that, then we're gonna put water all around this mother f*cker and go to foreign lands and build that and then I'm trying to build a whole universe.
4 AM is out now via M.A.F..E. Music LLC. Get it here.

Starring Manoj Bajpayee, Samantha Ruth Prabhu and Sharib Hashmi, the action comedy became a super hit. The popular two seasons made the pair some of the most sought after filmmakers in the country. And as a result, more details on their their forthcoming projects in 2022 are now being released in the web series world.
Two web series from the pair are expected to be out this year, reports Bollywood Hungama. A source gave details on one of the projects by saying, "It was earlier titled Ashwalinga but will now be called Gulkanda. It stars Kunal Kemmu, Pankaj Tripathi and Abhishek Banerjee and is said to premiere on Amazon Prime. It is a period comedy set in the times of Kama Sutra." It is directed by Rahi Anil Barve, of 'Tumbbad' (2018) fame.
However, tragedy struck on 23rd April last year when news came in that one of their main stars, Amit Mistry, suddenly passed away due to a cardiac arrest. The source added, "Amit Mistry had shot some portions of the series already before his untimely demise. The team of the series soon began looking for an actor who can fit the part. Their search ended with Gaurav Gera. He has stepped in and would play the part, which was originally supposed to be played by Amit."
Gera shot to fame with the role of Nandu in the memorable TV serial 'Jassi Jaisi Koi Nahin'. He has a huge fan following on social media.
As well as 'Gulkanda,' Raj-DK will also release another web series starring Shahid Kapoor and Vijay Sethupathi, with reports saying the project is titled 'Fakes.'

ZEE Rishtey Awards 2020: Winners list


From version 6.0 onward, the Lansweeper software includes a fully functional help desk. At its core, the Lansweeper help desk is a resource for sharing knowledge with people inside or outside of your company. It boasts a robust ticketing system that allows people to ask each other questions and request support. It also includes a knowledge base to share articles on a variety of topics.
Help desk users may at times ask similar questions or there may be help desk tickets that require similar responses. To improve efficiency and decrease the average response time for frequently asked questions, agents can send replies that are partially or completely preformatted, so-called ticket templates. Parameters can be used to automatically insert user or agent details into the responses, giving the users customized answers that are both quick and efficient. If a particular question is asked often enough, you may also want to consider creating a knowledge base article on the subject.
Hit the Add category button in the Ticket templates section of the page and enter a category name for the template you'll be creating into the resulting popup window.
Select your template category and hit the Add Template button on the right to add a ticket template to the category.
Enter a name for your template into the Name field of the popup window and the template contents into the Text box. All of the usual formatting tools are available. You can make text bold or italic, underline, change the font size and color, highlight, create bulleted lists, add images and hyperlinks and more! You can also add attachments with the Add attachment button, as well as include one or more of the parameters below. Once you're done composing your message, hit Ok. Templates with attached files are displayed with a paperclip icon in template overviews.
%USERNAME% : name of the user who created the ticket.
%USERCOMPANY% : company name of the user who created the ticket.
%USEREMAIL% : email address of the user who created the ticket.
%AGENTNAME% : name of the agent responding to the ticket and sending the ticket template.
%AGENTEMAIL% : email address of the agent responding to the ticket and sending the ticket template.
Optionally, submit translations for your template by hitting the blue A button next to the template. In the resulting popup, select the language you want to submit and then enter your translation into the Name and Text boxes. By default, available languages in the dropdown are English, Dutch, French and German. Additional languages can be made available in the Configuration\Translations section of the console, however. When an agent inserts a template into a ticket reply, the template language is automatically set based on what the agent configured as his preferred help desk language.
To use the template in a reply to a ticket, open the ticket, hit the Template button, select the category of the template, then the template itself and hit Ok. The template is added to your reply. Optionally, you can add more text to your response before sending it off. Only agents can add templates to replies. Users that can only create tickets don't see and cannot use ticket templates.

Price controls done away with, levy of Rs. 65 per kg on imported rice reduced to 25 cents
By Shamindra Ferdinando
The government has allowed emergency regulations imposed several weeks ago to ensure an uniterrupted supply of essential commodities such as rice, sugar and other consumer goods, to lapse. As a result the post of Commissioner General of Essential Services held by Maj. Gen. M. D. S. P Niwunhella has been abolished.
President Gotabaya Rajapaksa promulgated emergency laws after having named serving officer Niwunhella, the head of his security as the Commissioner General of Essential Services. The President's Office made the announcement as regards Maj. Gen. Niwunhella's appointment on August 30, 2021.
As per the powers vested in terms of the section 2 of the Public Security Ordinance, President Rajapaksa declared emergency regulations formulated as per the section 5 on essential food supply, with effect from midnight August 30, 2021.
The declaration of emergency regulations triggered protests from the Opposition with the Tamil National Alliance (TNA) warning the move could lead to a state of repression. The civil society, too, protested against the move.
Authoritative sources told The Island that with the change of government strategy in respect of price controls, the ruling Sri Lanka Podujana Peramuna (SLPP) had refrained from seeking parliamentary approval required to extend emergency regulations. The Parliament on Sept. 06 passed emergency regulations that authorized Maj. Gen. Niwunhella to seize food stocks, confiscate warehouses and vehicles used to transport such items.
Emergency regulations were passed by 81 majority votes with 132 lawmakers voting for and 51 against in the 225-member legislature where the SLPP enjoys a near two-thirds majority.
Sources explained that the original strategy had been for the newly appointed Commissioner General of Essential Services and Chairman of the Consumer Affairs Authority (CAA) retired Maj. Gen. Shantha Dissanayake, to work in close coordination to seize hoarded food stocks.
Against the backdrop of ceasing of emergency regulations meant to prevent hoarding and the termination of the Office of Commissioner General of Essential Services, the government yesterday (4) removed the retail price cap on several essential commodities through a gazette notification. The retail prices of dhal, sugar, sprats, green gram, potatoes, big onions, canned fish, chickpeas, wheat flour, full cream milk powder, dried fish, coconut, chicken and maize have been removed with immediate effect.
The new gazette notification has also removed the maximum price limit of Rs. 1,500 for a 400g packet of sausages and Rs. 1,500 for a kg of mackerel. In addition to that the Special Commodity Levy of Rs.65 per kg of imported rice has been reduced to 25 cents for the next six months.
Finance Minister Basil Rajapaksa has made these tax deductions with effect from November 2 in accordance with the powers vested in him under the Special Commodity Levy Act.
The duty on imported sugar, too, remains 25 cents a kilo since Oct 13, 2020 when the Finance Ministry slashed Rs 50 duty on a kilo of sugar.
The government brought in emergency regulations close on the heels of a spate of raids on warehouses from where authorities took 29,000 metric tonnes of sugar into custody. Having repeatedly vowed to maintain prices, the government recently allowed sharp increase of milk powder and liquefied petroleum gas. Interestingly, local producers also matched the increase in the price of imported milk powder.
Trade Ministry sources yesterday told The Island that price controls had been done away with as part of a new scheme to allow the market to decide prices. However, the government would make necessary interventions to prevent the importers from exploiting the consumers, sources said, adding that the second consignment of Nadu from India would arrive at the Colombo harbour today (5).
Since the cabinet recently authorized the importation of 100,000 metric tonnes of rice to meet the shortfall, the Trade Ministry imported 15,000 metric tonnes of Nadu from India. With the arrival of the latest stock, the total amount of Nadu imported from India would be 22,000 metric tonnes. According to the Trade Ministry, they are planning to procure about 40,000 metric tonnes of rice from India, Pakistan and Myanmar.

Welikada Prison killings
'The BASL should make its position clear now'
Chairman of the Committee to Protect the Rights of Prisoners, Attorney-at-Law, Senaka Perera, says his outfit will soon move the Supreme Court against the acquittal and discharging of Inspector Neomal Moses Rangajiva, the first accused in the Welikada Prison killings.
The civil society activist, in a brief interview with The Island, over the weekend, said that the relatives of those who perished in the violence in the Welikada Prison compound on Nov 09 and 10, 2012, had requested him to pursue this matter.
Colombo High Court Trial-at-Bar last Wednesday (12) sentenced to death ex-Welikada Prisons Chief Lamahewage Emil Ranjan over the Welikada killings. He was the second accused in the high-profile case, whereas Rangajiva, at that time attached to the Police Narcotics Bureau (PNB), was acquitted and released from all charges.
Lawyer Perera said that as the verdict had been given by a Trial-at-Bar, the appeal would have to be made to the Supreme Court. The Trial-at-Bar bench comprising High Court judges Gihan Kulathunga (President), Pradeep Hettiarachchi and Manjula Thilakarathna was unanimous in its decisions.
The Trial-at-Bar said that the prosecution failed to prove its case against the PNB officer beyond reasonable doubt.
Responding to questions, Senaka Perera said that if it hadn't been a Trial-at-Bar, his group would have moved the Court of Appeal. Senaka Perera explained: "We intend to write to Attorney General Sanjay Rajaratnam, PC, in this regard. We are of the view the AG should appeal against the acquittal and discharging of Rangajiva. However, if the AG refrained from doing so, the Committee to Protect the Rights of Prisoners will accept the responsibility."
In terms of the Trial-at-Bar proceedings, the eight prison inmates who were killed in the incident are Kankanmalage Malinda Nilendra Pelpola alias Malan, Attapattu Sangakkara Nirmala Atapattu, Mohammed Wijaya Rohana alias Gundu, Chinthamani Mohottige Thushara Chandana alias Kalu Thushara, Asarappulige Jothipala alias Ponna Kapila, Harshan Sri Manakeerthi Perera alias Manju Sri, Raigamage Susantha Perera alias Mala Susantha, Devamullage Malith Sameera Perera alias Konda Amila.
However, lawyer Senaka Perera said that altogether 27 inmates had been killed after the deployment of the Special Task Force (STF) and the Army inside the Welikada Prison. According to official records, in addition to 27 deaths, at least 43 other inmates received injuries. The then Prisons Minister Chandrasiri Gajadeera informed Parliament of the deaths of 27 inmates.
The then Police Spokesman SSP Prishantha Jayakoday said that inmates had triggered violence as the STF was looking for drugs and hand phones inside the prison.
The Attorney General filed indictments against IP Rangajeewa, Lamahewage Emil Ranjan and Indika Sampath, an officer attached to the Prisons intelligence unit under 33 counts, including committing murder, conspiring to commit murder after being members of an unlawful assembly.
The Court proceeded in spite of the third accused Indika Sampath who managed to evade the police so far.
The human rights activist recalled how Chief Justice Jayantha Jayasuriya, PC, named a Trial-at-Bar to hear the Welikada case on a request made by Rajaratnam's predecessor, Dappula de Livera, PC. The latter made the request in late June 2019. Rajaratnam succeeded de Livera in late May 2021.
The Prisons Department and the Justice Ministry couldn't absolve themselves of the responsibility for ensuring safety and security of those in their care, lawyer Senaka Perera said. Those who had been remanded and sentenced could be serious offenders and some may even deserve a death sentence but the State shouldn't under any circumstances resort to extra judicial measures, the public litigation activist said.
Lawyer Senaka Perera said that he believed the Bar Association of Sri Lanka (BASL) should examine the Welikada case and make its position known to the public. "Perhaps, the BASL, too, should consider moving the SC against the acquittal and discharging of the first accused," the lawyer said.
Lawyer Senaka Perera said that before the former AG made an intervention the progress in investigations had been slow. In fact, real progress was made since 2017, two years after the change of government following the 2015 presidential election, the lawyer said, alleging that the powers that be continuously hindered the investigations.
According to lawyer Perera and other sources, there had been four separate investigations at different levels beginning with the one launched by the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) immediately after the Welikada killings. Subsequently the then Prisons Minister the late Chandrasiri Gajadeera named a three-member team to inquire into the Welikada killings. The committee comprising retired High Court judge Bandula Atapattu, retired DIG Gunasena Thenabadu and Prisons Ministry Legal Officer Lalith Andrahannadi produced two reports in Feb 2013 and Nov 2013. There had been two other investigations ordered by the then Prisons Chief P.W. Kodipillai and the Human Rights Commission.
Lawyer Senaka Perera said that the four investigations undertaken during the Rajapaksa administration should be examined. The lawyer emphasized the importance of appraisal of the investigations as the Trial-at-Bar declared that the progress had been made only since 2017.
In addition to those four investigations, there had been another report prepared by the three-member committee comprising retired High Court judge Wimal Nambuwasam, retired Senior DIG Asoka Wijeyatilleke and senior public servant S.K. Liyanage. Appointed on January 22, 2015, less than two weeks after the presidential election, the committee handed over its report to the then Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe and Justice Minister Dr. Wijeyadasa Rajapakse, PC, on June 09, 2015 as the latter appointed it.
Lawyer Perera said that the former Prisons Chief claimed that the inmates after having broken into the Prisons armoury seized weapons, including machine guns.
The activist pointed out that the 2012 incidents were the worst since the 1983 massacre of Tamil terrorist suspects. The public have lost faith in law enforcement authorities and the political leadership regardless of the party that held power, the lawyer said. There couldn't be better example than how the current dispensation handled the then State Minister for Prisons Lohan Ratwatte's 'raids' on Welikada and Anuradhapura prisons in September last year.
The report prepared by retired High Court judge Kusala Sarojini Weerawardena into the incidents involving Ratwatte should be made public as the police were yet to at least record the State Minister's statement, lawyer Perera said.

China will soon send a shipment of rice to Sri Lanka as a donation, a Ministry of Trade spokesman said.
The donation comes in the wake of the 70 year anniversary of the Sri Lanka – China Rubber Rice pact on 1952.
Minister of Trade Bandula Gunawardane had discussed the matter recently with a senior Chinese Embassy officia, the Trade Ministry Spokesman said.
"The Chinese Embassy in Colombo is already doing the needful. The Trade Ministry has informed China of the varieties of rice that Sri Lankan consumers like," the Trade Ministry Spokesman said.
JVP MP Dr. Harini Amarasuriya, on Friday (14) day, said investors were discouraged by the continuous downgrading of the country's credit ratings.
Speaking at an event in Colombo, MP Amarasuriya said import costs had increased as the country was going through a forex crisis. The President's agricultural policy had been a disaster and that in the coming months, the government would have to import large volumes of food.
Amarasuriya added that Sri Lanka's relations with other nations had deteriorated and that too would have an adverse impact on the country.
Dr. Amarasuriya said that international rating agencies were independent and that their ratings were very important for investors to make decisions.
"Investors don't consult Ajith Nivard Cabraal before investing. Besides, in other countries, it is economic experts, not politicians, who become Central Bank Governors," she added.

A practicing physicians's view on economics and other forces shaping our healthcare system.
The awaited response to Mankiw's modest proposal on negative interest rates.
Google's real time swine flu map. No overwhelming wave in the local ER yet.
Helmets and the law of unintended consequences.
This past week we took some time off to see the sights around home. Any guesses on the location of the top two pictures?
Back at work tomorrow. I've been watching the swine flu outbreak with interest... we'll probably see a lot of nervous people in the ER with regular URI's.
The government will have to sell $2.4 trillion in new bills, notes and bonds in fiscal 2009, according to UBS. From October through December, the Treasury sold a record $569 billion, up from $82 billion in the same period a year earlier, and auctioned another $493 billion in the last quarter, up from $156 billion. That helps to make up for the drop in tax receipts, pay for the rise in spending and refinance maturing debt. Along with the principal, the sales add additional interest costs to the deficit for years to come.
Who's going to buy these, I wonder?
We'll see if this pans out, but it seems more probable than all nineteen banks passing.
Update: commentary at Zero Hedge, lots of questions about the reliability of the source. Deninger on Hal Turner: has a reputation that is best described as heavily-adorned with Reynolds Wrap. CNBC picks up the story,treasury denies.
The Turner Radio Network has obtained the stress test results. They are very bad. The most salient points from the stress tests appear below.
3) If any two of the 16 insolvent banks go under, they will totally wipe out all remaining FDIC insurance funding.
4) Of the top 19 banks in the nation, the top five (5) largest banks are under capitalized so dangerously, there is serious doubt about their ability to continue as ongoing businesses.
5) Five large U.S. banks have credit exposure related to their derivatives trading that exceeds their capital, with four in particular - JPMorgan Chase, Goldman Sachs, HSBC Bank America and Citibank - taking especially large risks.
7) Not only are there serious questions about whether or not JPMorgan Chase, Goldman Sachs,Citibank, Wells Fargo, Sun Trust Bank, HSBC Bank USA, can continue in business, more than 1,800 regional and smaller institutions are at risk of failure despite government bailouts!
The debt crisis is much greater than the government has reported. The FDIC`s "Problem List" of troubled banks includes 252 institutions with assets of $159 billion. 1,816 banks and thrifts are at risk of failure, with total assets of $4.67 trillion, compared to 1,568 institutions, with $2.32 trillion in total assets in prior quarter.
Put bluntly, the entire US Banking System is in complete and total collapse.
That move would free the Fed to cut interest rates below zero. People would be delighted to lend money at negative 3 percent, since losing 3 percent is better than losing 10.
Of course, some people might decide that at those rates, they would rather spend the money — for example, by buying a new car. But because expanding aggregate demand is precisely the goal of the interest rate cut, such an incentive isn't a flaw — it's a benefit.
The idea of making money earn a negative return is not entirely new. In the late 19th century, the German economist Silvio Gesell argued for a tax on holding money. He was concerned that during times of financial stress, people hoard money rather than lend it. John Maynard Keynesapprovingly cited the idea of a carrying tax on money. With banks now holding substantial excess reserves, Gesell's concern about cash hoarding suddenly seems very modern.
If all of this seems too outlandish, there is a more prosaic way of obtaining negative interest rates: through inflation. Suppose that, looking ahead, the Fed commits itself to producing significant inflation. In this case, while nominal interest rates could remain at zero, real interest rates — interest rates measured in purchasing power — could become negative. If people were confident that they could repay their zero-interest loans in devalued dollars, they would have significant incentive to borrow and spend.
Having the central bank embrace inflation would shock economists and Fed watchers who view price stability as the foremost goal of monetary policy. But there are worse things than inflation. And guess what? We have them today. A little more inflation might be preferable to rising unemployment or a series of fiscal measures that pile on debt bequeathed to future generations.
Much like giving an alcoholic a stiff drink to ease his withdrawal symptoms... Why is it that everyone seems to think the best way out of this mess is to re inflate the bubble of consumer spending? Loose monetary policy by the Fed is what helped inflate the real estate bubble in the first place. Maybe solving a debt problem by allowing people time to deleverage is a little too simple minded. A bit of the hair of the dog, anyone?
Both Mankiw and Krugman have their economic models and they stick with them no matter how silly those models look in the real world.
On the other hand, I prefer common sense over economic models any day of the week. And common sense dictates that loose lending practices and a cheaper dollar got us into this mess so loose lending standards and a cheaper dollar cannot possibly get us out of this mess. Logically it is as simple as that.
Moreover, even if the Fed could orchestrate inflation, there is no guarantee jobs would come with it or wages would rise with those jobs even IF the jobs came. Both Mankiw and Krugman are ignoring the macro picture, including but not limited to global wage arbitrage.
Home prices and asset prices in general rose much faster than wages during Greenspan's great experiment. Cash out refinancing, and rising consumer credit supported consumption during this experiment as real wages shrunk. Now consumers are cash strapped and Mankiw proposes a method to force consumers to spend more. Any eighth grader would immediately see that such a policy cannot possibly work.
...More and more of my fellow doctors are turning away Medicare patients because of the diminished reimbursements and the growing delay in payments. I've had several new Medicare patients come to my office in the last few months with multiple diseases and long lists of medications simply because their longtime provider -- who they liked -- abruptly stopped taking Medicare. One of the top mammographers in New York City works in my office building, but she no longer accepts Medicare and charges patients more than $300 cash for each procedure. I continue to send my elderly women patients downstairs for the test because she is so good, but no one is happy about paying.
Right now Seigel is correct, a physician could limit access to Medicare or Medicaid patients, as there's probably enough private payer business to keep them going. In fact, our old group closed to Medicare patients for a extended period for exactly the reasons above. But the pool of potential patients would shrink rapidly once the government takes over. In a universal care system, how would we opt out of a government monopoly short of quitting medicine?
A universal care system paid for by taxes would undermine the private insurance industry, much like the public school system limits private schools. Unless you have a lot of money, things would have to get pretty bad before people will opt out of something they've already paid for.
Q: Sure the government controls licensing, and now a big market share of health care dollars. You don't think they would parlay that to passing EMTALA like rules to force doctors to care for all under a government health plan, would you?
Commenter Steve Lucas had mentioned an interesting statistic, namely that smokers actually save the system money by their early demise.
The smoker's habit has been taxed an astronomical amount. State and Federal taxes reach a combined value of $3.76 per pack of cigarettes in New York state. The rationale is that smoking induced health problems cost the state large amounts of money, but as Steve points out, that may not necessarily be true.
Well then, maybe the state of New York will cheer the public health victory when no one purchases cigarettes anymore due to massive taxation, despite the loss of tax revenue. Certainly the warm glow of satisfaction will be reward enough, and the state won't seek to replace its lost taxes by finding another politically ostracized group to shake down (fast food perhaps)?
Wait. It almost seems that the state doesn't really care about the welfare of smokers at all, and the public health concern in merely a rationale for levying additional taxes against a narrow group of people without raising public alarm. I'm sure the government would not overreach, and use this highly successful model of raising fungible tax revenue to single out other victims would they?
For the record, I am not condoning smoking, nor is this a defense of the tobacco industry. I would be perfectly happy to never see another lit cigarette as long as I live. In our zeal for public good, it becomes a slippery slope for us to ignore minor abuses by the government just because they happen to coincide with our personal goals. Minor abuses turn in to major abuses, the government can become emboldened by their success. However noble our intentions, us turning to the government jackboot to fulfill our wishes says more about ourselves than those we wish to change.
We can spend the money you may have better than you can. We can also spend the money you don't have better than you can.
...But Kaus is correct that if some high-powered and well-funded interest group gets behind a certain procedure, cost-effective or not, the government overlords of the program will likely approve it. As a result, for example, no potential treatment for breast cancer will ever be denied given the proven strength of women's groups lobbying for breast cancer treatment (already, breast cancer research is hugely over-funded vs. other diseases given its mortality, due in large part to this powerful lobbying).
But it is not one dynamic or the other. Both will exist. There will be huge pressures to cut back somewhere, as costs skyrocket. And there will be huge pressure from certain interest groups to fund treatment for certain diseases in unlimited amounts. The result will not be, as Kaus posits, that everything will be funded more than it is today — the result will be that certain procedures and conditions with strong lobbying and political muscle will get funded more, with the difference being made up from cutting funding for conditions and procedures without a well-organized lobby.
Access to longer be determined by money, but by political pull.
The obvious downside will be further distortion and inefficiency of the health care system, and as I commented on Warren's blog, it is even worse than it appears. Other specialtieswill have to compete in the realm of lobbying to prevent losing their piece of the pie to a more vocal group, essentially wasting vast sums of money on infighting. Politicians will gain even more power by playing gatekeeper of resources to the highest bidder. We've already seen political contributions give an outstanding return on investment in all other areas, and health care will be no different.
Weil has a follow up of Wells Fargo's record profits, which was discussed on a previous post.
...One week before Wells's earnings news, the FASB caved to pressure by the banking industry and passed new rules that let companies ignore large, long-term losses on the debt securities they own when reporting net income.
Wells didn't say what its first-quarter earnings would have been without the rule change, which companies can apply to their latest quarterly results. As of Dec. 31, though, Wells had $12.2 billion of gross losses on securities held for sale that weren't included in earnings. Of those, $4.2 billion were on securities that had been worth less than their cost for more than a year.
Panda Bear's post gives me a profound sense of deja vu. The kind I get several times a week.
...The admitting physician adamantly refused to admit and suggested, not unreasonably, that I transfer her to The Big Academic Medical Center Sixty Miles Away as they were the last to lay hands on her and were most familiar with her condition. The Big Academic Medical Center Sixty Miles Away agreed, without hesitation, to accept her and I even spoke to the Leading Specialist in the Field of Herchronicmedicalproblemology who happened to be on call. Oh how the heavens sometimes align and, just when you think you are heading for a knock-down, drag out patient transfer brawl you see the triumphal field just ahead and prepare to eat the cheeses and hams of victory!

This episode is all about the upcoming Empty The Tanks actions taking place around the world, and locally, here at the Vancouver Aquarium. Empty the Tanks is a day to protest the captivity of marine mammals.
Local activist and one of the organizers of Empty the Tanks Vancouver, Jeff Matthews will join us to give us all the details on this family-friendly action happening on Saturday, May 24th, 2014.
Later in the program we rebroadcast our interview with "Blackfish" director Gabriela Cowperthwaite.
This episode aired live on May 23rd, 2014 from Noon to 1PM PST on 100.5FM and coopradio.org.


Hi all - I'm having to run RFO tests on several machines. All are running in trial mode since my lab doesn't have access to the corporate license server at the moment. Is there a way to bypass having to click the "Run" button at the trial splash screen? If I recall, a former co-worker used to append some variables to the application target. Any ideas how to do this?
What has worked for me was to literally take the system off line and then start the test. It will not do the prompt. I was able to duplicate this worked on two different systems.
All times are in seconds, lower is better.
*  Print Views tests require the 'Microsoft XPS Document Writer' printer be installed.

and use the 'Graphics - expanded' benchmark.
Hello, Im new here. Like to benchmark my setups and this time is not the exception. Wanted to try something different from regular ones like R15, wPrime, etc. Seems Autodesk is not taking advantage of these CPUs with a lot of cores. Still, for someone that is looking to build a TR PC this submit might be useful. CPU is overclocked at 4100 MHz for all cores (and also 24/7 use). DRAM is working as a 4x8GB to enable QuadChannel and using DOCP (like XMP for AMD Asus MBs) at 3200Mhz 14 14 14 34 2T @ 1.35v.

If the ryzen could run at 4,6ghz.......that would be awesome!!!
Right now the intel with highest clock speed (overclocked or not) is really the revit king.
Shame the prices of the intels are way too high at the moment.
Helping someone test another VDI setup, that DOESNT use Nvidias vGPU's, because their licensing is goddamned out of control, price wise. Have to say, im quite pleased with these results. And its only our third test.
Not bad at all. So with a faster xeon you should even get higher scores?
Is there not a way to collate this information in a format that it is easy to compare different units?

Melt winning the Tavistock at Cambridge Stud (1000m) at Ruakaka on Saturday.
Outstanding juvenile Melt is back bigger and better if Saturday's winning performance at Ruakaka is anything to go by.
The Group One placed youngster treated her rivals with disdain over the closing stages of the 1000m dash for three-year-olds as she opened a new campaign with a hollow two and a half-length victory.
In the hands of Sam Spratt, who was having her first ride on the filly, Melt showed her customary top-end speed to cruise clear when asked to quicken through a gap in the home straight. The display was just what trainer Nigel Tiley was looking for as he contemplates a raft of options available to his charge to ready her for a Group One assignment at Riccarton in November.
"To be honest I wasn't sure just what to expect from her as she has only had a limited build-up so far," Tiley said.
"Her coat is a long way from where it should be and she looked like a little woolly bear before the race which was a little embarrassing.
An unplaced run in a 1000m trial on a heavy surface at Avondale last month worked well for the Iffraaj filly who came on in leaps and bounds following the run, her first real hit-out since finishing second to Avantage in the Gr.1 Manawatu Sires' Produce Stakes (1400m) at Awapuni in March.
"She had hardly had a gallop before we took her to the trials last month," Tiley said.
"She just cruised around that day although Leith (Innes) told me she was ready to jump through the bridle if he had asked her for an effort.
"Saturday's track was perfect for her as she could get her toe into the ground, so we were hoping for a good run.
Tiley will now take a few days to monitor how the filly pulls up before thinking about what comes next on her schedule.
"Thankfully we have plenty of options for her depending on how she comes through this one," he said.
"I don't really know what the plan is exactly but the main aim is to get her to Christchurch for the 1000 Guineas in November.
"She could go to the Gold Trail Stakes at Hastings in three weeks or back to Ruakaka for the Northland Breeders Stakes in a fortnight.
