It's still early in the month August so I feel a bit like someone talking about Christmas during the summer but getting prepared in advance for the start of a new school year can take a lot of pressure off when the time does come.
If you're not a teacher or the parent of a school-going child you might be thinking that this doesn't apply to you but the "end of summer" can be a good time for anyone to look at their organisation and see if they can put some structure in place to make their days and weeks run a little more smoothly.
I find one of the hardest parts of being an adult is the constant need to keep feeding myself and now my family too. Cooking a nice meal is all well and good if you've got plenty of time but most of us don't and so it can end up feeling stress-full and like a lot of hard work.
One way that I've found to make it easier is investing a couple of hours in food preparation over the weekend. Having some freezable meals ready can save us a lot of time and energy and means that we're not constantly trying to come up with ideas mid-week or cooking on demand.
Step 1: Boxes & Bags
Get yourself some decent lunch boxes for meals and snacks. You don't have to spend a fortune but I do advise that you go for higher quality as the cheaper ones can leak and that will create a whole other problem for you.
I recommend the ones that have the little snappers at the edge. A big roll of freezer bags is essential too.
Step 2: Make a Food Plan
If, like me, you're a bit of a Monica from Friends then you can go all out with your food plan and use an Excel spreadsheet and lots of coloured labels (hello teachers) but a piece of paper and a pen will also suffice. Draw up a table of the days of the week and the meals and snacks that will be needed for your and/or your family.
Step 3: Decide on Your Meals and Snacks
After taking everyone's likes and dislikes into account decide what meals and snacks you will have for the week and see how many of these can be prepared in advance.
If you struggle for meal ideas Google is your best friend. You can find a multitude of simple, affordable recipes online. To get really serious about saving time look at the nitty-gritty things that can be done.
Things like making overnight oats, chopping up the fruit for your porridge and putting it into a little container that you can reach for in the mornings, making one big salad that you can take from on consecutive days to prevent you from having to prepare a new salad for each day etc. There is so much that can be done in advance of a busy week.
Step 4: Make a Shopping List
Now that you know what everyone is going to have you can look at what items you need to shop for. Making a shopping list is hardly a revolutionary idea but so many people go blindly into their supermarket with only a vague idea of what they need.
This often results in them running out of the things they need during the week and also buying things that they don't need. Online shopping is also a great time-saver and another way to stop you from buying unnecessary items.
While all of this may seem like hard work to begin with it does get easier when you get into the routine of doing it. I do my meal plans every Tuesday evening, order online on Wednesday evening, the food comes on Thursday evening and then I try to do my preparation on Friday evening so that it's not dragging into the weekend.
There was a time when I thought that being really prepared was boring but thankfully I've been enlightened (and by enlightened I mean I've had more mid-week food meltdowns than I care to admit) and realise that the more order I put on the mundane things in my life the more time I then have for the fun stuff.
It also helps me to stay on track with eating healthily and leaves me with more time to exercise too. As part of my online courses I take all of the hard work out of meal planning by including six weeks of simple plans and shopping lists to follow.
I will have a new course starting soon and I also share meal and snack ideas regularly on my social media so come on over and follow if you'd like some help.

My name is Ryan. I have been desperately trying to recover my Bitcoin because I have no income right now. I need it because I lost a good union job for trying to stand up for my rights not to be harassed for seeking medical treatment after getting hurt on the job. It's a long story. I dropped a 100 lb pipe on my leg, and was told to just put my leg up and relax for the day. My calf was split open and you could see the white tissue in my leg. I demanded to be brought to the hospital. And that set a chain of events that ultimately led me to loose my career in the union. The contractor didn't want me to seek medical treatment because of incident reports. When someone gets injured on the job they have to report it. If they have too many incidents then large companies will not allow them to do work for them for insurance purposes. So, because I didn't comply I was used as an example of what will happen if you get hurt and get medical attention. I was first called a b$&ch, punk, and ever other term. Then everyone turned those back on me, and one co-worker tried to assault me. When I went to my union rep about everything it was spread and made everything much worse. Now, I was a rat, and was subject to harassment from the whole job site ( a couple thousand). This was not a small project, and big money was to be gained or lost. I spent months trying to get help all the way up the ladder, but each step made things worse, until I was laid off because I was being harassed, and the company couldn't verify it. (they were asking the same people harassing me if I was being harrased, and they knew it. I was just made a mockery of). After that they spread the word to other companies and I was laid off from two other companies after about two weeks. They had successfully destroyed my name as a great worker and my career period. I put up with this for six months, and I was depressed, I missed a couple days of school and that was all they needed. I was put in front of an apprenticeship committee where they terminated my apprenticeship. On that committee was one rep from each company I worked for. The main company I worked for had a rep from another company at the job site where everything happened. I was made a complete mockery of. Every law that is supposed to protect workers was broken. People in power flexed their muscle and my career was ruined. I don't even think the people I worked with got the irony of ostracizing me for the contractor, because I told on a brother. The brother was was messing with me because of his friend the superintendent, and even though the superintendent is technically a union member he literally does what the contractor tells him. The whole thing ws tramatizing. Now I'm left with no job, and an unemployment check that doesn't even cover my bills let alone let me eat. All that is why I'm desperately trying to recover my Bitcoin.
In 2009, I was a computer tech and was involved in the latest technology. I read about this online currency that would allow people to make purchases online anonymously. It was called Bitcoin. I thought it was a great idea, so I set my computer up to mine new coins. Back then it could be done on a PC. The first 30 days I mined, I generated 30 BTC. After about six more months I had 63.xxx BTC and saw that it was becoming so difficult for a PC that I stopped running it and saved my wallet on my PC. I remember thinking that if this is gonna be as big as Im hoping I need to hide my wallet. I renamed it and buried it in the windows directory where it would be passed right over if anyone was looking. Then some things happened in my life that have haunted me since. I messed up , bad. I was struggling with addiction and made some serious mistakes. I didn't hurt anyone, but I ended up going away for nine years. During that time I struggled with addiction and societies view of people who are. I got into a college program and studied for my second degree while away. I came to terms with my addiction while away and in school. For me it took risking my life just to use. I was taking stuff from murderers without the ability to pay. After doing that time and time again with God walking with me the whole time I finally had that moment where I didn't want to risk my life anymore. I pray other people have that moment to help them overcome third Demons. Anyway, while away, I watched as Bitcoin rose in price.
When the value of my coins were worth $30,000, I got my brother on the phone. It wasn't easy, you can't just pick up your cell, and he didn't speak to me because according to him how sad it made him to think about me being in there. I wasn't a criminal, and I have a good heart. I can never turn down someone I love, even when I know they are taking advantage of that very fact. So I finally get him on the phone extatic! I tell him that I need him to hold my computer for me no matter what happens. This is like 2012, or 13. I have a lot of money on it and I need it when I get out to start my life over. He is skeptical about what I'm telling him and keeps asking questions. I tell him about the BTC I mined and how I hid it on the computer. He finally agrees. Some time later I talk to him and he tells me that there is no Bitcoin on the computer and he's not gonna hold on to it. I scream at him to hold out for me, I hid it for a reason. He tells me our cousin was looking and couldn't find it. I ask him to just please hold it. Fast forward. I'm getting out.
My mother and brother come to get me after 7 years 2 months 2 weeks. On the ride home, I ask my brother where my computer is. It's now worth over a million dollars. His answer still baffles me today, he says, "forget about the computer. It's gone, just forget about it". I don't let it go were talking about someone who struggled their whole life with poverty. We argue for a while, and I just can't believe what he is saying. He basically tells me he didn't believe me and never thought twice about doing what I asked him. To this day I don't know what to believe. He either thought so little of me that he couldn't do a favor for me, or it,s gone because I told them how to find it and they figured I was away so who cares. I can't believe he would do something like that to me, but he never really fit the bond I thought brothes should have.
So, here I am, my Bitcoin is driving me crazy. I'm trying everything I can think of to remember something that will help me get it back. I pray that someone who is a tech genius will know of a way I can recover my old wallet. I tried my old email addresses but they dump the contents after a period of inactivity. I'm alone in Richmond because I wanted to start over fresh. And I don't know what to do. I think about how I really missed a million dollars, and it hurts more and more the less I have. I am an honest person, my choice to be honest here is because it's who I am. I'm just hoping that you see it from my perspective, how hard I'm trying to do the right thing. I paid my price for what I did. Human judgement keeps me from doing what I love, and using my Tech degrees. I can use money for a list of things, student loans, bills, food, mainly to relieve the stress that comes with being in need. It effects me bad, when I was a kid my mother always ran out of money and food every month, and I usually starved 3 to 6 days a month. Being in that position as an adult brings back the hopeless and powerless feelings and does something to me. It clouds my thinking, where I can't even see they obvious. I would love to have the security and stability of having the money to think straight and get back to doing what I love, working on technology. New or old it doesn't matter. I love the process of getting things to work, the trial and error, and the satisfaction of achieving the goal that I set out to accomplish.God bless you for even reading all of this.
Thank you for helping me.

Every so often another attack against free public education comes our way. They seem to be started by people who have already benefited from the system and want to work out their own school anger issues by making sure that the next generation gets tortured just as badly as they were. This illustrates the fact that many people just don't seem to understand the benefit of a free, inclusive, public educational system on a society.
Well, the other day, I was watching The Game of Thrones (In truth, I didn't actually watch the show, I watched excerpts of the show, so correct me if I'm wrong,) and as I watched the body count rise, I found myself nodding my head and saying, "This is what happens when education is not valued in a society. CHAOS ENSUES!"
"What does this have to do with public education in our time?" You say. Well, let's just take a look at the state of education in Westeros, shall we?
First, let me show you what a teacher looks like in the show.
This is Fennez. He was hired by a rich family to educate their children. He was a slave. He was freed, but he begs to go back into slavery because he has no security in his old age. The young steal food from the old in the communal houses, and he has no purpose. I would like to say that in our era, we don't have such problems, but if you look around young, wild politicians are often looking to steal from teacher's pensions. They trade years of loyal service for poverty. You can almost understand why Fennez prefers living a slave's life to being free. At least in the noble's house he has a protected pension plan.
And what is this about youth running wild and stealing from old people? Didn't anyone train them right? No, no one trained them because they have no school system and no teachers for most people out there. When children are in school learning, they aren't out stealing, but in Westeros everyone runs wild in the streets. The strong dominate the weak, and everyone is stupid because (wait for it) they never got an education!
There is an institution of higher learning, the order of Maesters, and the rich can afford teachers like Fennez, so someone benefits from their Education, right? Yes, but only for a select few, and even for those nobles it seems that most formal education comes in only two subjects, Reading and Swordsmanship.
This is extremely basic education. It mostly seems to be enough to kill people and send notes to allies so that they can help them kill people. Oh, and to record long family histories to remember all of the people who have been killed.
Now for those at the very top (the king I mean) there are occasional philosophical discussions of what makes a good king, and there are more histories of the wealthy families to read. Other than that… I can't see much education at all (although Northern Magic Training may be better, but we haven't got all the details on that yet).
The state of sex education is abysmmal. Basically, it's girls chatting in a locker room. We see Margaery talking to Sansa about sex. She asks, "Did you learn that from your mother?" Margaery gives her a pitying glare and then says, "Yes, I learned it from my mother." (lies!)
Menstruation is something to hide, because the moment you start is the moment that someone can sell you off to another house as a wife. What else is a woman good for? They want the kids popping out babies as soon as possible. First, because a baby is proof of an alliance, and second because the body count of the show is so high that you need replacements.
So what is it like for most people in a world where only few are educated? For the most part, it's bloody awful. Technology is minimal and advances can be wiped out permanently with the proper application of a sword. People farm when they can. Have their sons pressed into military service or killed. Their daughters raped and killed. Creativity is discouraged. Technology is limited to military spending. The common people have minimal culture, and no security.
Now all is not so dire. Although advancement in society is rare, there is sign of adult education. Davos Seaworth advanced from humble birth in a poor area to the assistant to the head of a leading family. He is being taught to read by a young princess which can only enhance his position. This kind of education, however, is rare. Most people never learn to read.
I look at this and think of how much better it is for society when most people can read, write, and think for themselves. When adults in situations that are uncomfortable and unchallenging can go back to school and reeducate themselves. When creativity is encouraged, and technology in areas of peace can advance because the benefits of knowledge are not kept in the hands of the few.
Free, creative, public educational systems make happier people. People who have choices. People who can create things that help people live longer more fruitful lives. So support public education and prevent our world from turning into Westeros.

7. Workplace Deviance
Terms in this set (9)
factors for workplace deviance
Career vs. Survival Jobs - employees dissatisfied with workload increases and organizational failure to recognize merit may retaliate through "reciprocal deviance" at work. On the other hand, a career indicates the degree of commitment to one's current job as a long-term employment trajectory.
Data shows that employees have performed (~theft, fraud) or experienced (~sexual harassment, physical threats) deviant acts in their workplace.
Research suggests a wide range of reasons why employees engage in deviant behavior:
(1) Perceived injustice
(2) Dissatisfaction
(3) Role-modelling
(4) Thrill-seeking
Yet, deviant organizational behavior is distinct in that it is usually behavior that is very constrained in the workplace.
age and gender differences in workplace deviance
(1) Males generally report committing significantly more acts of employee theft and other deviance than females.
(2) Age is also correlated with employee misconduct, with younger workers more likely than older workers to engage in workplace deviance. Hollinger (1986) found age to be the most significant predictor of involvement in general employee deviance.
shifting paradigm of workplace deviance: euthanasia
Although suicide is not an offence in Singapore, attempted suicide and abetting of attempt suicide can be seen as a crime under the Penal Code.
Argument: Singapore should decriminalise assisted suicide performed by physicians on terminally-ill patients facing imminent death, suffering unbearably, and holding the conviction that there is no other reasonable solution for the situation they are in.
Those for this argument state:
(1) Role of the criminal law
(2) Autonomy
(3) Consistency in the law
(4) Dying a dignified death
(5) Practical considerations
Those against this argument state:
(1) Sanctity of life
(2) Medical ethics
(3) Worrying effects of legalisation
deviantizing space
(1) Closure of Nanyang University in 1980. Nanyang University was the site of student political activism. In response to a Security Branch crackdown on left-wing student leaders on 26 September 1963, large numbers of students at Nanyang University barricaded the grounds and a riot ensued, resulting in injuries sustained by both students and policemen.
(2) Golf and Singapore - space used for golf courses have been up for contention if whether it is a "deviant" use of space as there could be other uses for it, despite arguments that it is good for health and recreation.
deviant music
Late 1980s - early 90s saw attempts at the appropriation of "Western" music.
2000s onwards saw "more enlightened" approaches by state and other moral entrepreneurs.
»» Religious institutions adopting new approaches as well
»» "State-engineered" rap (PCK, MDA Upper Mgmt rap). Argued to be the state's "hegemonic player (broadcast media), valiantly co-creating with and co-opting the grassroots through appropriating rap for its presumed accessibility to larger demographics and disseminating this (eventually over the Internet) via a music video (narrow-cast media)".
interpersonal deviance in the workplace
Can occur when misconduct "target(s) specific stakeholders such as coworkers". Behaviour falling within this subgroup of employee deviance includes gossiping about coworkers and assigning blame to them. These minor (but unhealthy) behaviours, directed at others, are believed to occur as some employees perceive "a sense of entitlement often associated with exploitation".
In other words, they feel the need to misbehave in ways that will benefit them.
organizational deviance
Organizational deviance encompasses [production and property deviance]. Workplace-deviant behaviour may be expressed as tardiness or excessive absenteeism. Typically occurs when deviant behaviour is aimed directly at the organization. Such behaviours have been cited by some researches as withdrawal behaviours that allow employees to withdraw physically and emotionally from the organization.
(1) Property deviance - where employees acquire or damage the tangible property or assets of the work organization without authorization (e.g., the theft of tools, equipment, or money from the workplace)
(2) Production deviance - behaviours which violate the formally proscribed norms such as the minimal quality and quantity of work to be accomplished (~tardiness, drinking on the job)
deviance as "weapons of the weak"
Deviance can also be seen as a way for the weak to fight back/rebel. Everyday forms of resistance occur in repressive states where institutional politics are not accessible nor desirable in fulfilling their needs, although their actions are often covert and go unnoticed. The peasants adopting such acts cut across political lines and often adopt such measures whether they are Barisan National supporters or PAS supporters.
This includes acts such as: foot dragging; theft of chickens of pro-elite households; burning of mechanized tractors that threaten their livelihood as manual workers; ostracization of people who do not follow the social norms and values of resistance.
formal vs. informal control
Data confirms that employee deviance is more constrained and influenced by the reaction of one's fellow workers, and not management, with regards to establishing normative limits on acceptable range of workplace behaviours.
Hence, if an employee is not involved in deviant acts against the organization, that involvement may be largely deterred by the perception that fellow workers would not approve of his or her deviance.
Even so, formal management sanctions do have a social control effect on deviance in the workplace by indirectly influencing the existing informal normative structure. Policies and procedures unilaterally enacted by management will only be effective in constraining the employee if they are also simultaneously reflected in the informal normative consensus of the work force.

New dances
Nice summery sounding new one here from Ria Vos here called Brand New Chick. Just need the weather to improve and recognise that is actually Summertime!
This Simon Ward dance – Harden Up Princess has been top of the dance download charts for some time. Was always surprised we didn't have a line dance to this One Direction track when it first came out as a single. The dance looks little a different too.
Hearing some good reports about this Kim Ray dance Over and Over. Unfortunately in this region we still do another dance (Heaven Sent) from a few years back to this piece of music so unlikely to be teaching this one.

Constitutional and legal framework within which the Covenant is implemented, right to an effective remedy (art. 2)
1. Please provide examples of the application of the Covenant by domestic courts and information on the availability of remedies for individuals claiming a violation of the rights contained in the Covenant. Please indicate what procedures are in place for the implementation of the Committee's Views under the Optional Protocol, and provide information on measures taken to ensure full compliance with the Committee's Views adopted in 14 communications, including Nos. 1862/2009, 1406/2005 and 1432/2005.
2. Please respond to concerns raised by several UN human rights mechanisms about the 18th Constitutional Amendment of 2010, which eliminated the Constitutional Council and empowered the President to make direct appointments of chairpersons and members to a number of key oversight bodies. Furthermore, please provide information on measures taken to strengthen the independence and role of the Human Rights Commission of Sri Lanka (HRCSL) in compliance with the Paris Principles (CCPR/C/LKA/5, paras. 242 to 248), as well as to ensure that its decisions and recommendations are fully implemented by State authorities.
3. With reference to paragraphs 42 to 53 of the State party's periodic report regarding rehabilitation and reintegration of former combatants, including child soldiers, please outline further efforts made to respond to their difficulties including their diminished mobility due to ad-hoc surveillance and monitoring by the security forces. What steps have been taken by the State party to respond to concern that released former combatants face discrimination and difficulties in finding jobs and other economic opportunities and that female ex-combatants even face a higher risk of rape and violence? Please provide information about the implementation of the National Policy in Reintegration of Ex-Combatants into Civilian Life and other relevant policy documents.
Non-discrimination (arts. 2, 3 and 26)
4. Please provide detailed information on measures taken:
(a) to eradicate the persistent and deep-rooted stereotypes regarding the roles, responsibilities and identity of women and men in all spheres of life and to ensure effective application of relevant legislative and administrative measures, including the Women's Charter (CCPR/C/LKA/5, paras.368-369). Please indicate steps taken to enhance the participation and representation of women in political and public life and to ensure women's participation in the post-conflict, reconstruction and peace building process.
(b) to eradicate those customs and practices which are harmful and prejudicial to women, including polygamy and underage marriage.
5. Please indicate the measures taken to protect persons from stigmatization and discrimination on the basis of their sexual orientation and gender identities, and indicate whether they are protected by the Constitutional provisions on non-discrimination (CCPR/C/LKA/5, para.339).
Violence against women, including domestic violence (arts. 2, 3, 6, 7 and 26)
6. Please respond to concerns that despite the adoption of the Prevention of Domestic Violence Act, violence against women, including sexual and domestic violence, and impunity for such violence remains a widespread problem that is exacerbated by significant delays in the processing of cases and barriers to bringing perpetrators of marital rape to justice. Is the State party considering criminalizing marital rape regardless of judicial acknowledgement of separation?
7. Please provide information about cases of rape and other acts of sexual violence that occurred in war and following the end of the conflict, in particular in military-controlled camps.
Counter-terrorism measures
8. According to the State party's periodic report (paras.64-67), following the lifting of the Emergency Regulations in August 2011, some of its provisions remained within the framework of the Prevention of Terrorism Act (PTA). Please clarify whether all provisions in the PTA are compatible with the Covenant, including legal safeguards for persons suspected or charged with a terrorist or related crime. Also, please elaborate on the measures taken to ensure comprehensive review of all security-related legislation and the outcome of review of cases of suspects detained under the PTA (CCPR/C/LKA/5, paras.265-267). Please include statistics on the prosecution and the release of detainees and the issuance of the writ of habeas corpus. Please respond to reports that the remedy of habeas corpus in the State party is ineffective, mainly due to long delays in the disposal of complaints, lack of cooperation from security agencies, and unwillingness of the judiciary to exercise its duty to protect the liberty of the individual.
Right to life (art. 6)
9. Please respond to consistent and well-documented reports that unlawful use of force and violations of the right to life by State agents or by paramilitary groups directly under the control of the armed forces, including extrajudicial killings, suspicious deaths in custody and enforced disappearances, remain widespread and unpunished. Please indicate the measures taken to prevent such cases, promptly and impartially investigate them, prosecute and punish the perpetrators, and provide adequate remedies to victims or their relatives. Please provide data on the number of deaths in detention and their causes, the number of police and prison officials who have been disciplined or prosecuted for such cases, including cases of deaths during the riots at Vavuniya prison and Weikada prison in 2012. Does the State party consider establishing enforced disappearance as an offence in domestic law?
10. Please provide an update on whether the State party is considering introducing legislation containing additional exceptions to the prohibition against abortion.
11. Please report on concrete measures taken to effectively address impunity for human rights violations committed by both State and non-State actors, in particular by ensuring independent and impartial investigations and applying the rule of law and due process in prosecuting perpetrators. What measures have been taken to ensure the rights of victims of human rights violations to timely, prompt and effective remedies? Does the State party envisage accepting international assistance to resolve outstanding cases of serious human rights violations? How does the State party plan to strengthen the cooperation and coordination between different national and international authorities in investigating allegations of human rights violations during the conflict?

July 13, 2018
The calls to abolish ICE are long overdue, though the how-to is far from being clear. And while some have audaciously placed themselves as the ones who have the answer(s), it is going to take substantially more than just talk to get where we need to be. When we operate outside of movement yet impose demands or otherwise try and assert "leadership," we replicate systems of oppression by negating the reality of the people we pretend to lead. Conscious or not, this arrogance is rooted in disdain for those at the bottom because it serves those at the top.
The people who don't get their hands dirty are the most presentable to the ones in the big house, but
Before we open our mouths about where we are going in the struggle, how we think we should get there, and what we think a win or victory would look like, we should imagine saying those words to the most stigmatized and marginalized people in whose names we are being paid or in whose names we get some type of "movement status," and imagine the looks on their faces, their responses to our plans. We can't always check in with everybody, but if we have our ears to the ground and the people in our hearts, we have to use all of our senses to stay accountable to them.
It gives strength to those who are still under the thumb, in the internment centers and in jails and prisons, to see and hear of the many who are in the streets marching and laying siege to the system. But the laying of sieges is among the least effective of strategies if the masses are unprepared to endure to the end. This does not mean not to siege, but rather that ample resources must be allocated to the besiegers. Legal, physical, and mental are among the most necessary resources needed. Now is the time for sincere leadership to engage the masses and guide them forward to not only the abolition of ICE and the entire prison industrial complex, but to the end of the white supremacist resurgence permeating this country and many others around the world.

As part of our focus on women in direct response, we recently sat down with our longtime friend and client, Stephanie Stewart, owner and president of Exceptional Products, Inc. We discussed her career journey as one of very few female direct response entrepreneurs, as well as her advice to others looking to blaze a similar trail.
DM: Tell us about your current role at EPI.
SS: I am the owner and president of Exceptional Products, Inc., a direct response marketing company that specializes in creating nationally known brand names for new products by using infomercials, direct response television, and other marketing methods.
DM: What changes have you seen in the retail space during your time in the industry?
SS: We started in this business in the late 1980s. In the early years, it was just about TV, then we made the jump into getting DRTV products into retail stores. We had some of the first DRTV items in retail long before there was a DRTV department.
At first, retailers were resistant to DRTV items, but then became very eager once they realized the impact TV advertising had on their sales/shelf turns. Customers came in asking for the things they saw on TV and the "As Seen On TV" category was born.
Now, with scattered markets, a plethora of TV stations, social media, Amazon, etc., the landscape has changed dramatically. There is always room for more great products, but the pathway to get them to market is very different.
DM: You've had great success in the hair and beauty category with products like Hairdini and Wrap Snap & Go!. How did you discover these products and what marketing strategies set them apart?
SS: The hair and beauty category is a personal favorite of mine, with my thin long hair. I personally try out everything in the category—and I have since I was quite young. What has given us success in the business has been our commitment to the products we really love. We are a woman-owned boutique company that does not give up easily when we feel a product is exceptional. We have succeeded with items that others have tried and failed. Testing, getting lots of feedback, reworking the script and demonstrations, then retesting has worked wonders for us.
Having a woman-owned company that selects women's products is very important to long-term success. I sit in front of the buyers and do the demonstrations right in the buying meetings. The buyers understand it immediately and it sticks with them as they sit through hundreds of product meetings. A product needs to be understood by the buyer, work well, and be different than what is already on the market.
DM: What is your experience with the giant QVC mogul? Did you experience challenges breaking through?
SS: I started going on the shopping channels in the early '90s. Very early on, we learned that full demonstrations on one's self was very important to the success of hair items. Women want style and simplicity—and they do not have a helper in their bathroom every morning. Those demonstrations gave us many years of success on many products. Demo, demo, demo! That sells better than words.
One product we sold for seven years on QVC. That was the longest running single item for us on QVC. In the early years, we had three airings of 12-15 minutes per trip which was wonderful. As the shopping channels grew, most vendors were cut back to one airing of 6-8 minutes per trip. Being on air so often taught me a lot about scripting for DRTV and how to do good, fast demonstrations. Those are two big keys to success.
DM: What future trends do you see impacting retail?
SS: Many changes are happening in retail as our world transitions to online buying. There will always be space for retail, but it will be much different in the next 5-10 years. It's already changed so much, and every year will bring new challenges in terms of competition on price, quality and quick availability.
DM: There are very few female-owned infomercial companies. What is one defining moment that stands out in your career?
SS: We have had success with women's products because we can try them firsthand and relate directly to their use. Exceptional Products, Inc. was the only woman-owned DRTV marketer in the industry for many, many years. We are also a certified Women Business Enterprise (WBE) and there are a lot of retailers that support women- and minority-owned business. I can't tell you how many inventors have called me to say they wanted to work with a woman for their women's product.
DM: What advice would you give others looking to follow a similar career path?
SS: To keep it simple. Stick to products you know and understand well—and that you have a passion for. Then listen to all the feedback, good and bad, before making decisions. Love your product but understand its limitations and don't be blinded by your personal connection to the item. Some products you will love, but they will never be good DRTV items for many reasons. Costs and perceived value are always critical, and you can't get around the margin needs. Many try and fail. We've also been on that list. Numbers must add up. If you go forward with an item, do not leave any stone unturned.
Remember: There is more than one route to take to get a product to a successful rollout.
During our 30th anniversary year, Diray will feature blogs that look at where we have been, where we are, and where we think the industry is going.

SEOUL -- Excitement is growing among global fans over the release of an OST by three BTS members for a mobile game to be published by South Korea's leading game publisher Netmarble. The OST featuring Charli XCX, a British artist, was produced by Stargate, a Norwegian record producing and songwriting team based in Los Angeles.
Three BTS members -- Jin, Jimin and Jungkook -- joined hands for "Dream Glow", an OST for BTS World, that would be released on Friday. The song says dreams are the happiest thing while dreaming, and if you are dreaming, you have not given up yet.
BTS WORLD is an interactive mobile game including more than 10,000 images and 100 video contents of the seven-member boy band. Players can train BTS members and share their progress with other players.
Big Hit Entertainment founder Bang Si-hyuk, who has catapulted BTS to global fame, is a cousin of Netmarble chairman Bang Joon-hyuk. Netmarble has combed a game with cinematic dramas and K-pop, allowing users to play the role of the manager in charge of nurturing BTS members.

To Fail or Not to Fail
"In order to succeed, your desire for success should be greater than your fear of failure. "
-Bill Cosby
These and others are the words that I live by, there's never been a time in my life when I have ever regretted a failure–I most likely would if I suffered the fate of the individual above however. It has taken me a while to convince myself to continue writing after all the times people have said to give up and choose a different profession, I have even tried to stop myself in procrastination. A lot of times I see my writing to be mediocre and terrible in every way, wishing that I was gifted with the mind of Mark Twain or John Grisham…
I have wished apon a star numerous times only to find myself more accepting of my available talents and even if it isn't in my destiny to become a Novelist there are other paths that I would still love to take. One of them would to be an Actor; my love and passion for movies emerged when I was a small child as I walked into the movie theater, the hair would stand up on the back of my neck and goosebumps rose from my arms as I felt an indescribable energy I eventually found addicting. Many times I have dreamed about becoming a Director as well, visualizing my story in movie form–will it happen? I hope and with enough of it my dreams may become reality…
I do expect some form of failure in my ventures, it is the only way to learn.
Without failure there would be no success, no peace without chaos, no Nutella without God…you get the point.

The next visit in the Sub'r Bowl is Firehouse Subs. It's the second shop we've hit in the National Chain, Under 1000 Locations Division. I had never been to one of these before, although I was aware of them, so I was interested to see what they had to offer.
When I first saw the menu, I saw a couple of choices that looked good, including the New York Steamer, which included corned beef brisket, pastrami, melted provolone, mustard, mayo, and Italian dressing; and the Italian, which contained the usual genoa salami, pepperoni, ham, melted provolone, Italian dressing, and seasonings. Since I had never been to Firehouse Subs before, I decided to depart from the usual and try something different, so I ordered the New York Steamer, plus the chips and drink that made it a combo meal.
This was the earliest we had ever gone to eat for the Sub'r Bowl, so we were in the thick of the lunch crowd. It took a good 5 minutes from the time of order to receiving the sandwich. Dave ordered an Italian, and Morteza, a newcomer to our office and guest participant, ordered the Smokehouse Cheese and Cheddar Brisket sandwich. Greg arrived a little later, after we had already received and eaten some of our subs. I offered him half of my sub in exchange for half an Italian that he would order. Kelley was absent from this outing.
Whether fairly or unfairly, I went there thinking I was going to get something a little better than Subway, because, in my thinking, if you're going to go against the king in the national arena, you have to be better to keep people coming back. The sandwich was, to the contrary, quite disappointing on all levels. The bread was passable as something to keep the insides off your hands but was otherwise limp and flavorless. Unfortunately the insides fared no better.
First I ate half of the New York Steamer. I could barely distinguish that I was eating corned beef, and there was so much mayonnaise that I could hardly taste anything else. There was a lot of meat, but it was of really low quality with little flavor. The amount of mayo just turned it into a gross mess. Thank God Greg showed up by the time I was half finished so I could pawn off the other half of the sandwich!
I was really looking forward to trying the Italian, especially after the disappointment of the first sandwich. I looked at Dave's Italian, and it looked really pretty and colorful, even though I already knew the bread was a throwaway. It's served "Fully Involved," which means it has mayo, mustard, lettuce, tomato and onion. However, when I finally bit into one, it was no improvement over the Steamer. It, too, was made of relatively flavorless, low quality meat, and the vegetables contributed almost nothing other than roughage. The Italian dressing was sickeningly sweet, with no tartness from vinegar that I could taste. And the seasonings? They must have been for show only, because they were seen but not tasted. Altogether it was pretty much a disaster, and only hunger permitted me to finish the sandwich. Greg left most of his uneaten.
What went wrong here? I estimate that the ingredients are no better or worse than those used by Earl of Sandwich or Subway, but both of those managed to turn out pretty decent sandwiches. In the case of Earl of Sandwich, they had a much superior bread, and they add different unique sauces to each sandwich to give them a distinctive flavor. At Subway, you pretty much have only yourself to blame if you don't like the taste, because, other than the basic meats you've ordered as part of the sandwich, you tell them what you want on it. I left Firehouse Subs feeling like I had the submarine special from the school cafeteria, but even more disappointed because I at least expect cafeteria food to be pretty low grade.
You have pretty much your choice of chips just like at Subway — a selection of Frito-Lay products including Miss Vickie's (which you may or may not know is also Frito-Lay). The drinks were fortunately Coca-Cola products and iced tea. So there isn't anything special there, but for a total of about $8 for a medium sub, chips and a drink, it wasn't a bad price to pay for lunch. However, because of the poor sandwich, I hesitate to say it was a good value for your money.
I rated the following categories:
- Bread: 3
- Sandwich Stuff: 0
- Price/Value: 3
- Non-sandwich Stuff: 3
- Bonus points: 0
- Total: 9 points
I didn't feel like the bread should have rated so high, but there is nothing between 0 and 3, and I felt the sandwich deserved something other than 0. At least it reflects that the bread was better than the filling, and the sub wasn't completely inedible, after all, just not enjoyable except by the truly starving. Personally, I hope I never have to go back to a Firehouse Subs ever again.

Admittedly this blogger's been out of the matrix ever since the weather disturbance last september. Whilst this blogger has in fact started writing again, the loss of his house, room, books, and especially his HSDPA-powered laptop was an obstacle to my reentering the blogosphere for extended periods. Nonetheless, technology would find a solution in the form of a Blackberry smartphone. The trend has been around for sometime and we have in fact blogged about it briefly–but more on the touchscreen interface rather than the smartphone functionalities themselves.
So anyway, this blogger's detached state was recently remedied via a smartphone–and suddenly from no contact, he was instantly plunged into a flurry of contact: SMS now complemented by instant access to BBM, YM, Twitter, and 4 email addresses vying for attention, instant updates from Time, Bloomberg, Reuters, even access to previously dormant stock and forex accounts. Inadvertently (and pitifully) this blogger was suddenly plunged back in the matrix. This blogger once considered himself an internet denizen–now he is a data whore. (And perhaps only lucky that he hasn't bitten into the facebook world that constantly beckons especially now in his sorry plugged state.)
The smartphone has connected this blogger in more ways than his HSDPA-laptop never could, and with data in velocities approaching insane. A recent survey of mobile apps used by smartphone users shows the trend only continues to expand: smartphones are placing private info, music, street maps, radio, and video literally at the users' fingertips–and this blogger is helplessly in awe of it all.
More and more data at this blogger's fingertips–but admittedly less and less thinking. The fact that this blogger has reactivated his Twitter and is on YM 24/7 indicates that he is already succumbing to the soundbite or snippet mentality–this preternatural urge to compress experience into 150 characters or less. Smartphones are not dumbing us down as much as they are capping our ability to think deeply. More data, less information. More access, less knowledge.
Although writing this blog via Blackberry was not as much a chore as this blogger originally thought (hyperlinks and all), this blogger finds it therapeutic to say the least–that somehow even within the smartphone world there is room to write more and longer. The sad truth is, this post will mostly go unnoticed, especially amongst smartphone readers. Snippet-puppets have no patience for a paragraph, for text, for a blogger's futile attempt to vent slightly.
But at least for the price of one useless post, this blogger has been able to relive his brief past as a proper internet denizen, since evidently snippets do not a poetic blogger make.
This blogger now lurks, albeit not as happily, within the matrix, flittering along with the snippets of the internet smartphone universe. And unlike the hapless blogger of September, there may no longer be any escape, regardless of the weather.

Lukas Haas has been starring in movies since 1983 making his first appearance at a very young age of 8 years old, he has worked with many of the biggest names in Hollywood. We would all recognise his face but we might not all be able to put a name to it. Lukas has never been afraid of turning up in smaller roles but will always make an appearance in the odd blockbuster along the way. Today is his birthday and I am going to look at my favourite five roles of his.
5. Patient – Welcome to the Black Parade – My Chemical Romance (Music Video)
I have this music video on my list because I feel it is one of the most iconic characters used in music video history. We follow the patient as he dies and moves of the next life meeting strange characters along his path.
This is an example of a smaller role in a mega blockbuster as Nash works for Cobb in his dream stealing enterprise but sells him out. We only see this character for a couple of scenes but his actions help introduce the main job.
His character witnesses a murder but after the people responsible come after this young boy FBI agent has to move into his Amish community to protect him. This is one of Lukas early roles and show just how much talent he had.
2. Richie Norris – Mars Attacks! (1996)
Richie is the total opposite to his brother who goes to fight the Martians because Richie is happy with his life in the doughnut shop and once the attack happens he just wants to save his grandmother but accidently finds a way to stop the Martians.
The Pin is the leader of a high school drug ring going on in the small town. He opens up his door to Brendan and brings him in on the business but fails to see how the changes are going to affect him. The Pin is a calm collected character that works from his mother's basement and carries his trademark cane. This being one of my favourite films I feel his character play out in the story perfectly.

Meet a Mom Monday – Lauren Giedgowd
Posted by Dani Gurrie in Blog Posts, Meet a Mom, Mom of the Week on Mon, Aug 14, 2017
Another Monday and another fantastic Tots2Tweens Mom!!

Where is home for you? Glen Allen, VA
Home Base definite "Must Do's": Lewis Ginter, Botanical Gardens, Maymont, and Carytown
Meet the Family: Married with two boys and a princess.
Passions and Interests: I just started my tea business and I'm super
passionate about it. I'm only a few months in but it's made me really focus on some business strategies I haven't thought about in awhile since being a stay at home mom. I like applying all my energy and ideas into something productive.
Most controversial thing about you: I have 4 biological siblings that don't know I exist. I went to Korea a few years ago to meet my biological parents and they both have since had their own families. Neither family knows about me or the other parent. They still keep in touch 35 years later.
Biggest Pet Peeve: Spelling and grammar mistakes kill me! We all have auto-correct so we should use it.
One Major Goal You're Striving For: I'm trying to earn a cruise with my tea company. I need to throw 20 tea parties by September 30 so every day I try to find one party lead. I want to earn this to prove to my husband that I went out on a limb and made the right decision to do this! He wasn't supportive at first.
Favorite Blog/Website: https://recipes.steepedtea.com
Website (if you have one): www.westendsteepedtea.party
Best Advice You've Ever Received: Always assume someone is in a worse situation than you are and give them the benefit of the doubt.
What are you reading? What is your favorite book?: Currently reading a marathon training book, Into the Water, and a parenting book about Sibling Rivalry. I need the fun book to motivate me to get through the other ones! My favorite book is super cheesy: Bridges of Madison County. All the feels.
Favorite Kid Friendly Restaurant: Mekong. The kids love the food and so do we- and it's loud and busy enough that no one cares when your kids are yelling or out of their seats or throwing food on the ground. Plus it's always quick and pretty cheap.
What is your go-to family dinner?: My kids are pretty adventurous eaters but their favorite meals are spaghetti, tacos, and split pea soup. Sounds crazy but they love it! I make mine in the crockpot so it's super easy to throw together.
What types of activities do you like to do as a family?: We like to explore new places, go to the beach, walk around downtown areas, go to parks and playgrounds, watch movies, play mini golf, and go bowling. We would go to Disney World every day if we could!
What do you do when you have some alone time away from the kids?: With the hubby we love going to afternoon tea, food festivals or out to dinner and a movie. On my own I love spa time or a meal out with friends. And always shopping.
Are you ready for Back-to-School? Do you have any tips you've learned to help ease the transition?: Yes!!! Although I don't want to rush through summer, I already have their school supplies purchased. My kids are early risers so we don't really need to ease back into the morning routine but we will start pushing their bedtimes earlier when August approaches.

The report on private debt and human rights (A/HRC/43/45) was presented at the 43rd session of the Human Rights Council.
The report is available here:
In many countries of the world, private debt is growing fast, including not only business debt, but also consumer debt such as student loans, medical debt, micro debt, housing debt, and credit card debt. Such growth of private debt is not only a microeconomic concern, but also a macroeconomic issue. Some evidence indicates that deepening financialization and rapid private debt growth can lead to further economic inequality and financial crises, and impede economic growth.
Furthermore, private debt raises a number of concerns from a human rights perspective. It has come to the attention of the Independent Expert that private debt entraps many people in a cycle of debt and poverty, as they struggle to make loan repayments and to afford their basic needs, such as food, water, housing and electricity. There are also reports about aggressive and abusive debt collection practices, including the use of psychological and physical intimidation and violence. In some jurisdictions, debtors may be arrested and imprisoned for unpaid debt, or threatened with such. At a macro-level, adverse macroeconomic conditions attributed to an excessive level of private debt may limit resources necessary to progressively realize economic, social and cultural rights.
The Independent Expert would like to invite all interested governments, civil society organizations, academic, experts, businesses, and other stakeholders to provide inputs for his next report.
While all submissions are welcome, the Independent Expert is particularly interested in receiving case studies, information on theoretical developments, analysis and comments on general trends, or on one or more of the following issues:
1. What human rights concerns might arise in connection with private debt, which includes, but is not limited to:
a)Mortgage loans; b)Student loans;
c) Debt arising from out-of-pocket medical costs; d) Debt arising from fines and fees charged by State and local governments;
e) Unpaid utility bills; f) Credit card debt; and
g) Microfinance debt.
2. What are the implications of private debt on macroeconomic conditions and public debt? How does it affect States' obligation to use maximum available resources to progressively realize human rights?
3. What is the impact of private debt on the enjoyment of human rights by specific groups such as women, persons with disabilities, indigenous peoples, minorities, LGBTI and other groups specially protected under international human rights law?
4. What are the consumer protection, monetary, financial, banking and bankruptcy practices and regulations that govern and should govern private debt, in order to ensure the effective protection of human rights?
Respondents are requested to limit their comments to
a maximum of 2,500 words. Additional supporting materials, such as reports, academic studies, and other types of background materials may be annexed to the submission.
