Q: create view and alter in all tables I am attempting to create a logic within the procedure using cursors to create database views for all the tables and create a new column called HISTORY_DATE for all tables in the schema. I need help building the logic below.
create or replace PROCEDURE ALTER_TABLES(
  RC OUT INT
  ,MSG OUT VARCHAR)
AS
BEGIN

DECLARE

CURSOR TBL_CUR IS
  SELECT TABLE_NAME FROM USER_TABLES;
TBL_REC TBL_CUR%ROWTYPE;
SQL_STMT  VARCHAR(2000);

BEGIN
  OPEN TBL_CUR;
    LOOP
      FETCH TBL_CUR INTO TBL_REC;
      EXIT WHEN TBL_CUR%NOTFOUND;

      PRINT_DETAILS(TBL_REC.TABLE_NAME);

      SQL_STMT:= 'ALTER TABLE '
         || TBL_REC.TABLE_NAME
         || ' ADD HISTORY_DATE DATE'
         || ' AND'
         || ' CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW all_tbl AS'
         || ' SELECT *'
         || ' FROM USER_TABLES'
         ;

      PRINT_DETAILS(SQL_STMT);
      EXECUTE IMMEDIATE SQL_STMT;

    END LOOP;
  CLOSE TBL_CUR;

  rollback;

END;

END;

A: You only want to create the view once; and you cannot do two things at once as Gordon Linoff mentioned.  So take the view creation outside of the loop; something like this (untested):
create or replace PROCEDURE ALTER_TABLES(RC OUT INT
                                    ,MSG OUT VARCHAR)
AS
BEGIN

DECLARE

CURSOR TBL_CUR IS
SELECT TABLE_NAME FROM USER_TABLES;
TBL_REC TBL_CUR%ROWTYPE;
SQL_STMT  VARCHAR(2000);

BEGIN
          SQL_STMT  := 'CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW all_tbl AS'
                 || ' SELECT *'
                 || ' FROM USER_TABLES';
          PRINT_DETAILS(SQL_STMT);
          EXECUTE IMMEDIATE SQL_STMT;

          OPEN TBL_CUR;
              LOOP
                FETCH TBL_CUR INTO TBL_REC;
                EXIT WHEN TBL_CUR%NOTFOUND;

                PRINT_DETAILS(TBL_REC.TABLE_NAME);

                 SQL_STMT:= 'ALTER TABLE '
                 || TBL_REC.TABLE_NAME
                 || ' ADD (HISTORY_DATE DATE)'
                 ;

                  PRINT_DETAILS(SQL_STMT);
                  EXECUTE IMMEDIATE SQL_STMT;

              END LOOP;
          CLOSE TBL_CUR;

--rollback;

END;

Now, I don't see a need to create a view all_tbl as all it is, is a copy of the view USER_TABLES -- so just use USER_TABLES  -- but I left it's creation there so if you need only certain columns from USER_TABLES or certain rows, you know where to place that.

The Kurds: Independence is Going to Have to Wait … Again Part 2
Originally published in 2018 as a larger piece in DEMOS Vol. 1, Article 6,"The Kurds: Independence is Going to Have to Wait … Again" explores the past, present, and future implications of the Kurdish independence movement. The piece in its entirety can be found here. This piece is also the 2018 Winning Recipient of the Annual First-Year Writing Contest at Lake Forest College.
The first installment of this series can be found on The SAIS Observer website here, which discussed the sensitive political positioning of Kirkuk as well as the social and economic factors that have played a role in Kurdish independence movements.
By Zach Klein
The next aspect to observe is the general lack of acceptance from the world regarding the referendum. Both Iran and Turkey have stated that there will be harsh repercussions should the vote be allowed to happen. The two nations fear that the referendum will embolden Kurdish insurgencies within their borders to renew their push for independence. Turkey plans on applying sanctions on the Kurdish Regional Government (KRG) to eliminate the ability to sell oil through the one pipeline that goes through KRG territory, across the Turkish border, and to the Mediterranean port of Ceyhan (Bektas). The Iraqi and Iranian foreign ministries have both stated they would work together to draft responses to the upcoming vote. More than likely, they will come up with economic sanctions of their own (El-Ghobashy). Normally when regions autonomously declare independence, there is an outside international power which offers its support and protection. When Kosovo declared independence in the 1990s, the U.S., Western Europe and NATO were able to shield Kosovo politically and militarily from the Serbian Government, which allowed it to remain independent. However, no regional power or any international power has voiced any support for the Kurdish referendum besides Israel, which is not capable of ensuring the independence of the would-be nation single-handedly. France has voiced lukewarm support by stating that they would neither oppose nor support the referendum. However, the real shock to the international community, and to the Kurds in particular, was when the U.S. stated the referendum needed to be postponed (Arraf). According to Stuart Jones, former U.S. Ambassador to Iraq, the United States was concerned that an independence referendum "…would be not good for Kurdistan, not good for Iraq, and would play into the hands of the hardliners and the hands of the Iranians." KRG President Massud Barzani condemned the American response, and Kurds took to social media alleging that the United States was ungrateful for Kurdish support- and Peshmerga fighting force assistance- in combating Islamic State groups in the region. For the Kurds, an autonomous regional government with American support is insufficient when compared to the possibility of real independence. "If (independence is) not good for us, why is it good for you?" Barzani asked in an Erbil interview.
Some context for Kurdish frustration is necessary here- the idea of Kurdistan as an "autonomous region" is not new. The reason that the KRG exists in this political and strategic limbo is because of the U.S. In the aftermath of the first Gulf War in 1992, when U.S. forces established a Kurdish safe haven in northern Iraq, Saddam Hussein continued to push further north with his anti-Kurdish agenda and pursued a number of genocidal actions (Al-Khafaji 35). These measures included the Anfal Campaign, which forced the relocation of Kurds out of Kirkuk and several other cities, and resulted in the increase of the Arab population in the area, thereby making the area more responsive to Hussein's rule at the time (Al-Khafaji 35). But, according to David Romano, Saddam Hussein was not satisfied and continued by "using internationally prohibited chemical weapons in such areas as the city of Halabja, Balisan and parts of the Duhok Province. They have razed some 4,500 towns and villages while driving tens of thousands of unarmed civilian Kurds, among them Faylis and Barzanis, into an unknown future" (Romano 1346).

Today, Ontario Finance Minister Charles Sousa tabled the province's 2014 Budget. This year's budget proposes additional personal income taxes on income over $150,000, a new pension plan and the phase out/elimination of the Small Business Deduction for larger Canadian-controlled private corporations.
Ontario's deficit for 2013-14 is estimated to be $11.3 billion, a $0.4 billion improvement compared with the 2013 Budget forecast. The government is projecting budget deficits of $12.5 billion for the 2014-15 year, $8.9 bllion for the 2015-16 year, $5.3 billion for the 2016-17 year and a return to a balanced budget by 2017-18.
The million-dollar question – will this budget pass, or will we head into a provincial election? Here we summarize the major tax measures announced in today's budget.
Add a new tax rate of 12.16 per cent on taxable income between $150,000 and $220,000.
These new income thresholds would not be adjusted for inflation each year, unlike the current taxable income thresholds.
The donation credit would continue to be computed as 5.05 per cent on the first $200 of donations each year, and 11.16 per cent on donations over that amount.
As a result of these proposed changes, individuals who earn interest and regular income of $514,090 or more will pay an additional $10,268 in Ontario tax annually.
The Ontario government will bring forward legislation to implement a 25 per cent credit applicable to farmers who donate food to community food programs, including food banks. The credit will be computed on the value of the agricultural goods donated and can be claimed for donations made beginning January 1, 2014.
Given the federal government's decision to shut down discussions on an enhancement to the Canada Pension Plan (CPP), Ontario is proposing to move forward with a new mandatory provincial pension plan – the Ontario Retirement Pension Plan (ORPP).
The ORPP would build on the key features of the CPP, and could later be integrated with the CPP should negotiations on an enhancement with the federal government be successful in the future.
Pool longevity and investment risk, as well as index benefits to inflation, similar to the CPP's retirement benefit.
Require equal contributions to be shared between employers and employees, not exceeding 1.9 per cent each (3.8 per cent combined) on earnings up to a maximum annual threshold of $90,000. The ORPP maximum earnings threshold would increase each year, consistent with increases to the CPP maximum earnings threshold.
Aim to replace 15 per cent of an individual's earnings, up to a maximum annual earnings threshold of $90,000.
The ORPP would be publicly administered at arm's length from the provincial government.
Benefits would be earned as contributions are made.
Individuals already participating in a comparable workplace pension plan would not be required to enroll in the ORPP.
Earnings below a certain threshold would be exempt from contributions, similar to the CPP. The government will consult on whether the ORPP's lower-income threshold would mirror that of the CPP.
The ORPP would be introduced in 2017.
The government will consult with Ontario employers and labour. Further technical details will be released later this year prior to introducing legislation.
Pooled Registered Pension Plans (PRPPs) are a new form of tax-assisted individual retirement savings plans. They are intended to make it easier to save for retirement by offering employees and the self-employed an additional low-cost savings vehicle.
PRPPs are professionally managed, portable from one workplace to another, and have a more favourable tax treatment than group RRSPs.
Automatic enrolment of employees. Where an employer elects to offer a PRPP, an employee would be automatically enrolled unless he/she chooses to opt out within a specified period.
Low cost – administrators would be required to provide PRPPs at a low cost to plan members.
The Ontario Small business deduction (SBD) is intended to provide tax relief to Canadian- controlled private corporations (CCPCs) in Ontario. The current SBD threshold is $500,000 at which a favourable Ontario tax rate applies (i.e., 4.5 per cent).
Currently, all CCPCs, small or large, are eligible for the Ontario SBD.
*On first $500,000 of active business income, subject to the phase-out discussed below.
The budget proposes to ensure only small CCPCs can qualify for the deduction, which would be consistent with other provinces and the federal government.
The budget proposes to phase out the SBD for large CCPCs (and associated groups of CCPCs) with more than $10 million in taxable capital employed in Canada in the previous year and would be fully eliminated for large CCPCs (and associated groups of CCPCs) with taxable capital in the previous year of more than $15 million.
The change could cost a CCPC with more than $15 million of taxable capital up to $35,000 of additional tax per annum.
The proposed change would apply to CCPC taxation years ending after May 1, 2014 (pro-rated for taxation years that straddle May 1, 2014.
The budget indicates that Ontario supports the various initiatives undertaken by the federal government, including those in the 2014 federal budget, to address aggressive international tax planning.
To this end, Ontario will introduce legislative amendments that would require corporations in Ontario to disclose aggressive tax avoidance transactions to the federal Minister of National Revenue, who administers Ontario's corporate taxes.
Through the Tender Contract Tax Compliance initiative launched in February 2014, businesses that are engaged in procurement activity with the Ontario government must demonstrate (via certification of tax compliance) that they are compliant with their provincial tax obligation prior to being awarded government contracts.
As noted in the 2013 Ontario Economic Outlook and Fiscal Review, the government is reviewing options to restructure tax support for research and development (R&D), including an incentive for incremental R&D, with the goal of increasing R&D investment in Ontario.
Companies that significantly decrease R&D investment would have existing provincialtax credit rates reduced.The government will consult with businesses and research organizations on this approach.
on the salaries and wages paid to Ontario apprentices and co-op students.
These credits are refundable so businesses can receive tax support even if no income tax is payable in the year.
The government will review training tax credits with the intention of limiting these tax credits by making them non-refundable for large businesses.
These credits would continue to be refundable for smaller businesses.
The Ministry will direct additional resources to its Flexible and Integrated Risk System (FAIRS) program to identify high-risk audit cases across several tax statutes (including Employer Health Tax) administered by the Ontario Ministry of Finance.
As previously announced, the budget proposes to increase the tobacco tax rate from 12.35 cents to 13.975 cents per cigarette (or from $24.70 to $27.95 per carton) and per gram of tobacco products (other than cigarettes and cigars) effective 12:01 a.m. Friday, May 2, 2014. Wholesalers of tobacco products that are not collectors of tobacco tax are expected to take an inventory of all tobacco products with the exception of cigars held at end of May 1, 2014 and remit additional tax on this inventory.
The budget also proposes to introduce a general anti-avoidance rule into the LTT Act, applicable to transactions that are completed after May 1, 2014 and transactions that are part of a series of transactions to be completed after May 1, 2014.
Tax on insurance swaps and offshore regulated foreign financial institutions.
Tax Collection Agreement, Ontario will adopt these measures and their effective dates once federal legislative and regulatory changes have been approved.


Commander Sera Covey is a dedicated woman. First and foremost to her is her family, second is science, third is the Federation. Though, she is thoroughly loyal to all three. She has steadily worked her way up the ranks until, finally, she was able to put her career more in the limelight after her son enrolled in the Academy. Along with her beloved Boston terrier, Wilson, Sera has moved to Providence Fleet Yards to be the Director of Sciences for Task Force 93.
Personality: Sera is easy going, trusting, and loyal. She is intelligent but doesn't flaunt it, trying to always be friendly and open to everyone rather than acting like she is above them. Sera is somewhat socially awkward and quiet, however if you get her talking on a topic she loves, she can talk all night.
Appearance: Due to her height, not many people notice Sera until she's right next to them. Although, once she is noticed, the focus tends to be on the unnaturally blue color of her eyes. Sera's black hair is usually kept shoulder length, and in a variety of styles. Though she's been widowed for close to ten years, she still wears her wedding ring. Her husband's ring hangs on a chain around her neck which is usually kept under her uniform. While on duty, Sera is always in appropriate uniform. When off duty, she prefers simple dresses and comfortable clothes, nothing frilly or outlandish.
Sera Marie Wavern was born on February 13th, 2340 V'Sera and Jonathan Michael Wavern on Benicia Colony. Unfortunately V'Sera died during a long and difficult birth. Broken-hearted, Jonathan took his newborn daughter back to Earth, where he could have the support of his family to raise her. He named his newborn Sera after her mother.
Unable to find a job when he returned to Earth, Jonathan moved in with his parents. By the time Sera was three, he had a stable job in a factory and had found an apartment for the small family. With the new apartment came new neighbors, one of whom, Miranda Lively, caught Jonathan's eye. At first, Sera didn't like the new woman, feeling like she was taking her Daddy away. But, Sera eventually came to like Miranda, even eventually considering the woman a mother figure.
With more support, and love, in the household, Jonathan was able to send Sera to a private school. Though she struggled with some aspects of school life, she excelled in others. Shortly after she started at the school, her first half-sibling, a brother named Michael, was born. Three years later, a sister joined the family with the birth of Alena.
When Sera was twelve, Jonathan inherited his parent's home and the family ranch. Though he now had a great job as a mechanic, he decided to take over the family business. Despite the decrease in income, Sera was able to win a scholarship to her private school based solely on her academic testing scores. She excelled in the sciences and thoroughly enjoyed doing research in the school's labs. Knowing that she wouldn't have as exciting a career in the civilian sector, Sera decided to apply to Starfleet Academy when she was of age. It took a bit of convincing to get her parents to understand her desire, but eventually they agreed.
At the Academy, Sera learned just how sheltered she'd been at the private school. To say she was socially awkward was an understatement. But, since she didn't really like to talk anyway, she didn't find this much of a hindrance. So she didn't go out and party, she found enough of her own fun anyway. She did make a few friends, including an operations cadet a few years older than her, named Corbin Covey.
Unfortunately, they lost contact shortly after Corbin graduated and went out on his first assignment. More saddened than she thought she should have been, Sera tried on occasion to contact Corbin, but eventually gave up when she came due to graduate and had to focus more on her studies than on finding lost friends.
Sera's first assignment was on the USS Valhalla, where she made fewer friends than she normally would. She found the Valhalla crew to be too selective in their decisions on who to include in the "family". Though she didn't fit into their family, no one could deny Sera's dedication to her job and none were surprised when she asked for a reassignment shortly after her first promotion.
Her reassignment was granted, and since she hadn't requested a specific ship, Sera found herself on the USS Donovan. In her new home, Sera found it much easier to get along with the crew. Though the ship was large, Sera had a chance encounter with a familiar person almost as soon as she stepped through the airlock. Corbin, it turned out, had switched to the intelligence field during his last year at the academy and had been on operations requiring radio silence for the first few years of his career. He figured she'd forgotten about him, and thus hadn't bothered attempting to reconnect when he was finally assigned to a regular ship.
Unfortunately, after several years working together, Sera and Corbin were separated again. However, not before Corbin asked Sera to marry him. Due to their busy careers, it would be a few years before the pair would be able to marry.
Shortly after she turned 30, Sera gave birth to a son, whom she and Corbin named Keaton. At 37, Sera was able to land a position at Starfleet Headquarters and moved with Keaton back to Earth. Corbin, unfortunately was unable to follow and was killed in action just before he was due to transfer to HQ as well. Devastated, but knowing she had to hold on for Keaton, Sera poured herself into her work whenever Keaton was at school. When Keaton was twelve, he begged for a dog, and so Sera gave in, ending up with two Boston terrier pups. She now keeps hers, named Wilson, with her wherever she goes.
Eventually, Sera worked her way up through the ranks and was happy to apply for the Director of Sciences position for Task Force 93. Though, she did so only after Keaton enrolled in the Academy. Though she didn't get the position when she initially applied for it, it came available again almost a year later and she accepted it.

Global impact of Russia/Ukraine food crisis
Nigeria and 44 other countries around the world are severely exposed to the impact of the Ukraine-war induced food crisi.
This is according to a study by Boston Consulting Group (BCG), a leading global management consulting firm.
The study is contained in a new report from Boston Consulting Group (BCG), titled The War in Ukraine and the Rush to Feed the World, which explores in detail the multiple direct and indirect impacts of the turmoil in Ukraine on global food systems.
The BCG report is co-authored with Food Systems for the Future.
It also provides 30 near- and medium-term solutions to help respond to the crisis and improve the resilience of global food systems.
It said the affected countries concentrated in Africa, South Asia and Latin America, were hotspots around the world as they were enduring some of the worst effects of the crisis.
According to the BCG report, Nigeria and the other affected countries face severe levels of extreme poverty, compounded by the ongoing economic and social challenges associated with the COVID-19 pandemic.
Additional factors worsening the food crisis identified in the report include heavy reliance on food imports, high import bills, high inflation, a high debt burden, climate risks, and civil unrest.
An estimated 1.7 billion people — most of them in developing economies — could suffer severely increased food insecurity, higher energy prices, or greater debt burdens, according to the UN Task Team for the Global Crisis Response Group.
Managing Director, and Partner at BCG Nigeria, Stefano Niavas, while commenting on the findings, said, "The impact of the Ukraine war on our food systems calls for critical and immediate review of our budgetary allocation.
Currently, Nigeria spends over 27 times of its Agriculture allocation to service its debt. Compounded with the Ukraine war and the lingering challenges of COVID-19, the average ddebt-t-GDP ratio across the continent is expected to rise from 60 per cent to 70 per cent.
To minimise the impact of the crisis on Nigeria's food systems, the government and all critical stakeholders should therefore ensure the stability of the rising cost of food and fertilizer by the provision of viable seedlings, supporting the growth of alternative nutritious grains, driving the adoption of innovative farm practices.
The introduction of alternative sources of fertilizer will help reduce the country's reliance on food imports."
Together, Russia and Ukraine account for about 12 per cent of the total food calories traded around the world.
According to the International Food Policy Institute, both countries are critical exporters of key commodities such as wheat (28 per cent of global trade) and sunflower oil (69 per cent).
The UN's World Food Programme (WFP) buys from Ukraine half of the wheat it distributes around the world.
Meanwhile, , as exports from these countries tumble, some other leading exporting countries have announced export bans or licensing restrictions designed to protect their own food stockpiles.

A poster at a recent protest demanding a Rs.1000 basic daily wage. With allegations of corruption creeping into the tea trade, one could easily identify with the slogan.
The plantation sector in the country continues to take a beating, and it's not merely because of the Rs. 1,000 per day wage hike demanded by the workers.
Counterpoint learns that political interference, incompetency, corrupt practices, shortage of human resources, restrictions placed by the State and inefficiency are acting as a stranglehold on the plantation sector despite privatization of most estates in 1992. The once thriving Tea industry, for which Sri Lanka has been known the world over, has now slipped to the fourth place amongst tea exporting countries.
According to several sources Counterpoint spoke to, while some of the plantations are well managed a vast number need to be overhauled if they are to be viable entities.
Two senior former Planters pointed out that most of the RPC's are currently not being managed the way they ought to be, implementing proper agricultural practices thus making them unviable. Further it's also evident that most of the RPC's are top heavy & certain RPC's are headed by inexperienced personnel who lack professionalism. Lack of focused dedication in many aspects is the malignancy that afflicts the Industry, which once was a thriving profitable entity, they claimed. The estate superintendent being the "Man on the spot" must be role models and command the respect of the staff. Some tea estates have not seen fertilizer for a year. As well, adequate funds must be allocated to ensure roads, drains, housing etc. are maintained, they added.
"Politics must be wiped out of the tea trade,' claims Navaratne Pilapitiya, a Tea Factory owner, who echoes the senior planters' accusations of mismanagement. "There should be at least four plucking rounds a month, whereas today, most allow the tea to be overgrown. When it should be two leaves and a bud, the saying now is two feet and a bud!" he claims.
There was a time when tea plantations were immaculately maintained. But today's plantations, are dotted with weeds and tea bushes that are not pruned or plucked in a timely manner.
Meanwhile, the ban that was imposed on the use of glysophate has impacted negatively on the tea industry. According to Sunil Poholiyadde, Chairman of the Planters Association of Ceylon, Japan, a major buyer of Sri Lankan tea has shown reluctance to buy our tea, as alternative weedicides used have been found to leave a residue. "My own products were affected, adds Pilapitiya, who claimed residue had been detected in some of his teas. With a large number of suppliers providing tea to his factory, it's difficult to identify which ones are affected.
The issue is further complicated, says Poholiyadde, with the restrictions placed by the State on the Regional Plantation Companies (RPC). When plantations were privatised in 1992, the State did not divest itself completely. The expectation was that there would be a proper business model without government regulation so the industry could be turned around. Under the agreement, diversification is restricted and the industry is also facing the challenges of climate change and a shortage of manpower. "Today, neither side is honouring the spirit of the agreement", he claims, while pointing out that companies cannot depend on tea alone and must diversify into other crops such as oil-palm. "We are competing with new entrants to the tea industry, who have the edge of younger plants, virgin soil and cheaper labour." According to him successive Governments have continued to disrupt development plans of the RPC's. Nevertheless, 2,300 hectares of RPC land is under crop diversification where macadamia, pineapple, soursop, lemon, arecanut, oranges, papaya, avocado, passion fruit, pears, rambutan, and vanilla and spices such as cloves, pepper, cardamom, and khaya, giant bamboo and other fuel-wood are being grown, he claims.
It is time the State looked at alternative models to re-energise the loss making State plantations, he says, adding that they are subsidized by the government to the tune of Rs. 1.5 billion a year. Government interference has, says Poholiyadde, caused tea production in RPC's to drop to 72.9 million kg, even though the yield per hectare improved to 1,138 kg in 2016, as compared to 1,021 kg per ha in 1992. The lease document allows for change, he states, adding that RPCs must be given a free hand without interference to make changes, and carry out development programmes. The RPC's have individual business plans according to crop mix, availability of human resources, location etc.to make them viable entities.
Setting up a Plantation Management Monitoring Agency is of paramount importance to monitor the progress of each Plantation entity, stress the retired Planters. No stripping of assets should be permitted in order to derive unrealistic profits. This body is in place within the Ministry of Plantations but is dormant. It must be made more pro-active. A due diligence study should be carried out & appropriate action instituted against those RPC's who have not managed their RPC's effectively & efficiently in accordance to the Indenture of Lease, they told Counterpoint.
"They also must investigate whether the required agricultural practices are carried out with proper inputs, capital expenditure has been spent on factory development, housing, replanting and infilling, on a systematic program & also determine whether such capital expenditures incurred are justifiable. It should also ensure that there are development & elucidations programmes for executives and whether the assets of the plantations are maintained well.", It is not just running the place on a profit, but ensuring the practices adopted are not detrimental', they told Counterpoint.
There is no telling whether the leaves are plucked on time or left to mature.
Another issue facing the tea industry is adulteration claims Pilapitiya; other senior planters too agree. Coarse plucking methods are followed where the quality of tea drops but quantity increases. Some plantations use Monosodium Glutamate (MSG), or sugar to blacken brown tea. At least 70% of the pluck must consist of the two leaves and a bud, or flavour and quality will be affected, according to the senior planters. Coarse leaf breaks easily; there is more stalk and fibre, which results in the tea becoming brown. It is black tea that fetches a premium price.
Sri Lankan teas are bought in bulk and are used mostly for its flavour for blending with teas from other countries. This has affected the "Ceylon Tea" identity, according to one source.
Sri Lanka should go for value added teas, instead of sending out bulk tea, he added.
The Sterling companies were in the practice of buying their own tea, which helped increase their profits.
Meanwhile, Piliapitiya proposed that that the industry should be run by a stakeholder association including the Tea Small Holders, Planters and Tea Board if there is to be a turnaround in the industry.
And what of the estate workers demand for a higher daily wage? Says Devadas, the collective agreement between Unions and Management, which increased the daily wage minimally from Rs. 500 to Rs. 700 will be in effect until 2021.
That was not the demand of the Estate workers, who are agitating for an increase of their daily basic wage to Rs. 1,000. Most of the sources Counterpoint spoke to are in agreement that this demand should be met. "The Rs. 1,000 basic wage is a fair demand from the workers, but there are aspects we have to consider. Plantation companies find it hard to pay this amount because of production cost. Sri Lanka's production cost is the highest in the world" says one.
The plantation workers cry for a Rs. 1000 daily basic wage has the support of a wide group of people across the country.
Devadas agrees that one of the reasons for the younger folk to move away from plantation life is the low wages. They are better educated today, and find that they can earn much higher salaries in other industries. It also paves the way for them to get a further education, and lead a better life.
Says Devadas, 'It is the responsibility of the government to ensure that the rights of workers are protected. Some estates do not have a set day for payment of wages.
All in all, it is apparent that the management of the plantation industry, particularly tea which has been the pride of the country, and a major revenue earner, needs to be re-visited and a workable, long term solutions found if it is to gainfully compete in the world market once again.
Several attempts to reach the Minister of Plantations and Ministry and RPC officials, proved futile.

The president's businesses aren't tracking the foreign cash pouring into his hotels after all.
Donald Trump, Ivanka Trump, and Donald Trump Jr., during a press conference at Trump Tower, January 11, 2017.
Just a few weeks before he took office, Donald Trump and one of his lawyers stood on stage next to a pile of prop documents and made a questionable pledge to address his financial conflicts of interest. He would not divest from his business holdings; nor would he relinquish ownership of his D.C. hotel, which makes him both landlord and tenant of the government-owned Old Post Office Building; nor would many of his clarifications do much to ameliorate concerns over ethics issues and potential violations of the Emoluments Clause in the U.S. Constitution, which prohibits a president from accepting gifts or money from other government entities. He would, however, donate any profits he received from foreign governments staying at his properties to the U.S. Treasury.
Now, four months into his term, Trump's company has released a pamphlet that attempts to address Congress's concerns, but also muddles the president's previous claims. In fact, it makes it seem as though the Trump Organization has already given up on following through on the president's pledge.
According to a company document, the Trump Organization is not keeping track of all payments coming in from foreign governments, and it appears it is throwing up its hands at the idea of doing so.
"It is not our intention nor design of this policy for our Properties to attempt to identify individual travelers who have not specifically identified themselves as being a representative of a foreign government entity on foreign government business," the document reads. That would "impede upon personal privacy and diminish the guest experience of our brand"—an inconvenient fact that the president and his two adult sons, who are now running the Trump Organization, must have failed to consider.
Instead, it puts the onus on guests to identify themselves as members of foreign entities. In addition, the Trump Organization plans to estimate profits made from foreign governments, rather than go through the trouble of accurately calculating them.
Rep. Elijah Cummings, the ranking Democrat on the House Oversight Committee, issued a blistering response after receiving the pamphlet, and called on George Sorial, the executive vice president and chief compliance counsel for the Trump Organization, to brief his committee by June 2.
Critics like Cummings may see this as a violation of a pre-inauguration promise, and a violation of the Constitution, as well. Others may see this as another case in which Trump should not have been taken literally. And given the 1,000-foot view of the other many scandals surrounding the Trump administration—F.B.I. investigations, allegations of obstructing justice, outside counsel being brought in—mere ethics violations and a possible brush with the Emoluments Clause? That seems almost quaint.

After Hitting No. 1, Cardi B Readies Freestyle in Celebration
Our sis Cardi B is readying new music after her latest and greatest accomplishment.
If you didn't know Cardi's "Bodak Yellow" assisted her in making history, you've been under a rock. Additionally, her breakout hit went platinum and the Bronx native was honored with a plaque at her Atlantic Records surprise party during which she shared her future plans. "Since ya'll helped me get to No. 1, I'm gonna drop a freestyle, a freestyle that I did with my whole entire cockroach heart 'cause my heart is very little, like a cockroach," she told Billboard.
Later, she went on to provide an update about her debut album, which was set for an October release date. "I really wanted to release my second single with my album, but I'm just not as satisfied yet, to drop my album," she shared. "A lot of people keep telling me drop it. My dude [Migos' Offset] keeps telling me to drop it. But it's just not quite there yet. I was gonna release it in October, but I think I'm gonna do it in November."
Cardi became the second solo female rapper to top the Hot 100 sans a feature. "Bodak Yellow" follows Lauryn Hill's "Doo Wop (That Thing)," which hit No. 1 in 1998.

A lone Republican from Maine cast a vote to pass health care reform through the Senate Finance Committee this week, and the country is, as President Obama said, "closer than ever before to passing health reform."
But the road doesn't get easier from here.
Now Congress has to cobble together four different bills without losing the support of wavering Democrats, interest groups and the general public. That is going to be quite a feat.
An example of how tough things are going to be came as soon as Olympia Snowe, right, cast her vote. Most observers had assumed that Snowe's approval would offer political cover to moderate Democrats. Instead, the response of moderates such as Sen. Ben Nelson, D-Neb., and Sen. Mark Pryor, D-Ark., was to play down the meaning of Snowe's vote and to emphasize their own indecision. In the end, Senate Democrats are unlikely to vote against their own caucus when it comes to voting for cloture (which is different from voting for the bill's passage), but the message is clear: It's not over.
Meanwhile, the health care insurance industry has declared all-out war on reform, just as we always thought it would. The American Medical Association's support is shaky, because those very important fiscal controls in the Senate Finance Committee's bill might result in a pay cut for doctors at some point in the future. The public is as confused as ever - the four different bills would change their insurance, or lack thereof, in four different ways.
To keep the reform effort from flying off the rails, two things need to happen: the Senate and the House need to stop squabbling and get into conference quickly, so that the public understands what their health care will look like after reform. And President Obama needs to be very direct with Congress about what he will and won't tolerate about the final bill because that will make or break his presidency. The president's time for delegating is done. It's time to start giving orders.

How Climate Affects Vinyl Performance
Sign Africa News2019-06-28T14:53:59+02:00Jun 28th, 2019|
The durability of a PVC film is generally determined by three major factors. They are the additives in the film, the environment in which the film is used, and ink (in the case of printed film). The angle at which you display the signage is also a factor to consider.
However as the regional climate of a country is the main factor which will reduce the expected performance, this article will primarily focus on how signs are affected on that item alone.
'Vinyl on a horizontal surface will never last as long as vinyl on a vertical surface,' said Sytech Supplies sales development coordinator Andrew Cromberge. 'Every country falls into a specific zone based on its climate. Your vinyl will not fail as badly in the cold as it would in the heat.'
In the world of signage and graphics, the world at large is divided into three climatic zones:
Zone 1 – least harsh climatic conditions, typically comprising Central and Northern Europe and North America.
Zone 2 – harsh conditions, including sub-Saharan Africa, Southern Australia, New Zealand and Asia Pacific.
Zone 3 – exceedingly harsh conditions, including desert regions and areas that are ≥ 1000 metres above sea level.
The sun and UV rays are factors that will damage the media. Cromberge also noted that in the sub-Saharan climate, the sun's rays are very strong and cause fading and damage of the media.
As for how this and the angle of exposure affects the durability of the vinyl in terms of years, Ralph Wordon has a pretty good example. 'The cumulative effect of the zone change and the angle of exposure can shorten the life span of a PVC film with 10 years' vertical durability in Zone 1, to just three years non-vertical in Zone 3.'
Read the manufacturer's product data sheet and take into consideration the zone in which the media will be situated, when approximating the durability of a pressure-sensitive film. Black and white usually have the longest life expectancy, while clear, opaque and metallic colours are known to have a shorter life span.
With these key factors in mind, you will be able to make well-versed product recommendations to your customers. It's important to select the correct type of film and a durable brand.
'In a harsher climate, use a high quality vinyl. A cast vinyl will last longer than a monomeric or polymeric vinyl,' Cromberge added.
In summary, if you find that the vinyl may not last as long as the packaging suggested, do not fret, you have not been scammed. This is perfectly normal and occurs because of the climatic region that you are in.

Last week I created a video for a game 'Dead Frontier 2'.
It was tagged properly and when it came to this site I also edited out all the other tags.
However, now that I am looking at my videos again, I see that the 'dead frontier 2' tag has been removed, and the tag now is 'survival games'. When trying to add dead frontier 2, it says that I can't put removed tags back in there.
This seems really odd as the video really is about Dead Frontier 2.
I have had the exact same issue, my tag got changed and my content didn't count as coverage.
Did you include the proper tagging when you uploaded your video to Twitch or Youtube?

George Smith: Join in the fight against climate change
It's necessary to take steps now for the sake of our kids and grandkids.
By George Smith
What will it take to convince you that climate change is happening and is a problem that must be addressed? That was one of the questions posed at a recent Maine Climate Table meeting, a group chaired by Cathy Lee.
Perhaps Lyme disease and deer ticks? The terrible loss of commercial fisheries along the Maine coast as the ocean water warms? The huge number of moose dying from ticks? Erratic weather, including a frightening increase in fires, floods, and hurricanes?
The period from 2010-14 saw 15 polar bear attacks on humans – an upswing blamed on the effects of climate change. Susanne Miller/US Fish and Wildlife Service
Well, you better get on this soon, because your help is desperately needed to save our planet. At the Climate Table event, I suggested that we put the photos of young children on every climate change column and handout, because we must solve this problem for our children and grandchildren. If we fail to do this, they are the ones who will suffer, and eventually blame us for failing to act.
One of the things you must do is express your concerns to our congressional delegation. If our country is going to tackle this, we need Congress to step up on several key issues, including stopping the president's proposed cuts in the EPA budget, repeal of rules protecting our streams, rivers, lakes and ponds, and revival of the coal industry.
The latter seems to me to be particularly awful, especially for Maine, where prevailing winds blow that pollution to us from states to the west. That's why we're known as the tailpipe of the nation.
Lisa Pohlman, executive director of the Natural Resources Council of Maine, said it well in a recent press release: "In Scott Pruitt's ideal world, polluters have total control of America's energy and environmental policy. That is a disaster for Maine, which is not only downwind from many of those polluters, but is also blessed with abundant clean, local, renewable energy supplies, rather than dirty coal and oil.
"Rolling back the Clean Power Plan will allow unlimited levels of carbon pollution — the major contributor to climate change — to be dumped into our air from power plants across the country," Pohlman noted. "Letting these polluters off the hook exposes Mainers to more 'bad air' days, asthma attacks, and damage to our economy from a warming climate."
And I hope you know that carbon dioxide and methane are two of the primary greenhouse gases that scientific studies have cited as causes of climate change.
Eliot Stanley of Portland, former chairman of the Maine Regulatory Fairness Board and a record-holding Sebago Lake angler who serves on the board of the Sebago Lake Anglers Association, expressed my concerns as a fisherman in a recent letter in the Press Herald.
"Summer is here," he wrote. "It's the time of year when I enjoy spending as much time as possible fishing in Sebago Lake. One of my favorite things about Maine is its abundance of lakes, streams, ponds and coves where I can cast a line. A few years ago I landed the largest northern pike ever caught in Sebago, still a record at 41 inches.
"Sebago Lake has such outstanding water quality that it is one of only six municipal reservoirs in America not required to have its water filtered or treated, although that is done by the Portland Water District for extra public safe … Unfortunately, the current administration in Washington is poised to deliver a one-two punch that stands to cripple efforts to protect and restore clean waters, including favorite fishing spots across Maine such as Sebago Lake."
Disappointing, to put it mildly.
One thing you need to advocate for is congressional support for the carbon fee and dividend legislation. Here's how the Citizen's Climate Lobby explains it: "This is a key element in reducing the risks of climate change. It will significantly reduce carbon emissions, create jobs, grow the economy, save lives, and protect households from higher energy prices.
"Carbon Fee and Dividend will place a fee on fossil fuels at the source (at the well, mine, or port of entry), beginning with a $15/metric ton CO2 equivalent emissions, and steadily increase annually at $10/metric ton. 100% of the net fees are returned to American households on a per-capita basis as a monthly dividend."
Two-thirds of American families will break even or receive more in dividends than they would pay for in higher living expenses. It will also move businesses toward clean energy.
I liked this conclusion from Polhman: "We can have a cleaner energy future and a stronger economy. But it is one based on renewable power and energy efficiency technology, not their dirty fuels from the last century."
I can only add this: we won't have that cleaner energy future and stronger economy unless you join us in this fight. Please do this now.

Shopping for an evening gown can already be a headache within it's own, but figuring out how to do your hair and makeup can unfortunately be worse than finding the perfect dress. Luckily for you all, I'm sharing a few of my favorite makeup looks, tips, as well as some evening gowns to make shopping fun like it should be!
If your dress consists of a lot of patters, colors, embellishments, etc. stick to a basic/more neutral makeup look. Warm, natural colors are your friend in this case. By using this color pallet, it allows you and your beautiful dress to shine, without being to distracting!
If your dress is more plain, don't be afraid to go full glam! Step outside of the box and use some color, it could really tie the whole outfit together while staying on trend. For example, last year, I had a bright red dress and last minute decided to make my lips the same color. I was apprehensive at first but it looked so good!
Test out the makeup look you want before going to someone to get your makeup done, especially if your getting your makeup done by someone you've never seen before. I've seen my friends go get their makeup done and immediately wipe it off because it was not even close to what they wanted. So to save time and money, take my advice. Stick to who you know is going to do an incredible job or just practice, practice, practice till you get it the way you want!
Annnd if you are still finding yourself searching for dresses, I linked some of my favorites down below!

Herbert Justin Kneeshaw (1883–1955) was an English professional footballer who played as a goalkeeper. He made over 100 appearances for Cardiff City during a 12-year spell at the side and later became a coach at the club.

Career
Born in Beckhill, Kneeshaw has two spells for Bradford City (from 1903 to 1904, and from March 1907 to September 1909), and also played for Heaton, St Cuthbert's, Guiseley and Colne Town. During his time with Bradford City he made one appearance in the Football League. In 1912, Kneeshaw joined Southern Football League side Cardiff City after being spotted by manager Fred Stewart, making his debut for the club on the opening day of the 1912–13 season during a 1–1 draw against the club's South Wales rivals Swansea Town.

He quickly established himself as the first choice goalkeeper for the Bluebirds, playing in over 100 matches in the Southern Football League, a spell interrupted by the outbreak of World War I, and won the Second Division of the Southern Football League in his first season at Ninian Park. He remained with the club following their move into the Football League for the 1920–21 season, playing in their first ever Football League match during a 5–2 victory over Stockport County. However, midway through the season, he was displaced by Ben Davies and spent two seasons as backup, only appearing in a handful of matches for the club, before deciding to retire from the game following the arrival of Tom Farquharson. He instead took up a coaching position with the club and remained in the role for over a decade.

Josh Cares & Cincinnati Children's Hospital Partner to Raise Additional $1M
November 2013 marked a major milestone for Josh Cares. On November 6th, 2013, Cincinnati Children's Hospital and Josh Cares celebrated eight years of providing support to some of the hospital's most critically ill children through volunteerism and over $1 million in cumulative donations from Josh Cares to the hospital. In addition, Josh Cares committed to raise an additional $1 million to further this important mission – this time to be accomplished within four years! This was announced at a special gathering held at the Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center (CCHMC) campus with Josh Cares leaders and senior hospital staff members.

The Origin of Josh Cares and SEI's Involvement
Systems Evolution, Inc. is an incredible example of how a compassionate and committed group can make a pivotal impact on an organization's ability to meet an important need within the community. Josh Cares was founded in 2005 by SEI CEO and Co-Founder Dan Pierce and his wife Lynn in memory of a consultant's child who lost his life in a tragic accident.
Not only has SEI served as Josh Cares' top corporate financial supporter through frequent event sponsorships and company matching of generous employee giving, but countless hours have been volunteered to the organization by employees and consultants. Ranging from board leadership, project management and skilled pro bono services to administrative support and lending manpower at special events, SEI has made it possible for Josh Cares to channel as many fundraising dollars as possible directly to our mission of ensuring that no seriously ill child feels alone and afraid in their parents' absence.

The Mission of Josh Cares
Since 2005, Josh Cares has forged a unique purpose with the passion of its founders and donors, partnering with the inspired vision of board members and hospital leadership to provide vital companionship and comfort to hospitalized children. Cincinnati Children's Board Chairman Tom Cody shared the hospital's profound gratitude for the support of the community which has enabled them to provide such a highly specialized level of emotional care for an extremely vulnerable population of the hospital's patients.
"At our core, both Cincinnati Children's and Josh Cares are driven to improve the lives of children and families. And we recognize that partnership is integral to that work. By working together, we were able to identify an unmet need and improve the patient and family experience — which is vital for positive outcomes…As a nonprofit hospital and research center, Cincinnati Children's relies on the partnership of many to help advance research discoveries, continuously improve the quality and safety of our care, and train the next generation of pediatric experts. And with the ever-changing healthcare landscape, our partnership with donors — like our friends at Josh Cares — is more important than ever."
Josh Cares connects our community's individual donors, volunteers, local foundations, and corporations like SEI with Cincinnati Children's Hospital to support this vital program.
