Stick On Clothing Labels For Parents and Kids

adminClothing

Lost property has always been a dilemma in schools. Lost property stores in every school in the country are bursting full of unclaimed and nameless garments. Many schools are not able to and will not store these items indefinitely. They are normally disposed of or given to charity, including the more valuable items. Some schools even have a lost property sale if the piles get too high. Lost property is not only wasteful but it creates avoidable inconvenience and expenditure for parents. To avert the problem, most schools insist that all childrens possessions must be labelled. If the solution is so easy, then why does the issue of lost property still subsist? Sorry to say, labelling childrens uniforms is not as simple as it would seem.

There are a few labelling methods available for parents. Iron on labels are quite popular but once they have been through the washing machine a few times there are no guarantees your label will remain affixed. These days, some iron on labels are very good but until you have invested in them and tried them out, theres no way of knowing. Laundry marker pens are also an easy, inexpensive solution. However, there are 2 problems with them, they grow fainter in time and you have to find the space on the item of clothing to write the name. Both methods, even though quick and easy for todays hard-working mother, can be unreliable. That is, unless you continually return to each item of clothing to make sure that there is still a legible, intact name tag. This cancels out any time you saved initially.

Woven or sew on labels on the other hand are fail-safe, a guaranteed solution. The draw back is that you will have to spend hours sewing them in each and every garment. Or spend extra cash on paying someone to do it for you. For parents with large families, the many mothers who work full time and of course, those who cannot sew, this alternative is simply too inconvenient. Back to school time can be hectic enough, making sure your kid is fully geared up to start the term can be a mine field. Looking for the perfect school coat or bag that not only adheres to uniform standards at the school, but is also trendy and acceptable enough for your son or daughter to wear often causes irritation and bewilderment. After a hard day at the shops in the back to school rush, no parent has the patience required to sit and sew on labels.

Jewelry Industry Embargo On Zimbabwe’s Conflict Diamonds

adminJewelry

Apparently Zimbabwe’s plan to sell off the conflict diamonds from their Marange diamond fields is simply not going to come through as long as the HRW (Human Rights Watch) has any say in the matter. The HRW specifically instructed the leading diamond jewelry providers in the world to keep their distance from any diamonds from Zimbabwe. Specifically, Arvind Ganesan, Director of the Business & Human Rights Division at HRW, released an official warning regarding a full on embargo of Zimbabwe diamonds due to their many violations of serious human rights conditions. According to Arvind Ganesan, Zimbabwean diamonds are conflict diamonds in every sense of the term, and as such the HRW is requesting that jewelry retailers and jewelry consumers boycott these diamonds until the human rights infringements reach their end. In fact, Arvind Ganesan wrote a letter asking as much from leaders in the diamond jewelry industry, such as Cartier, Tiffany’s, and Zale.

Arvind Ganesan has turned to the Kimberley Process Certification Scheme as well as the World Diamond Council in an attempt to expand the current definition of blood diamonds to contain diamonds acquired by governments in conflict and not only diamonds by rebel groups. In his letter, the Director of the Human Rights Watch requested that major diamond jewelry retailers issue public statements regarding refusal to purchase Zimbabwean diamonds. Such acts on the parts of the major players in the diamond retail community will surely have some significant long-term effects on diamond production from the Murowa diamond mine, as well as the River Ranch diamond mine, which are thought to be channels for the sale of diamonds from the Marange fields in Zimbabwe.

In the letter, Arvind Ganesan also appeals to the powerful members of the diamond industry to use their influence on the Kimberley Process to ensure that Zimbabwe is fully suspended from the group up to the point when they actually meet basic human rights standards. As per reports from HRW, such human rights infringements as killing, smuggling, and child labor have been going on until just this October and there are no signs of any considerable changes since then. These diamonds have been smuggled to neighboring countries mixing with diamonds from other nations and basically causing a situation where conflict diamonds are traded worldwide.
