The Worst Quality Control Fail of All Time
When students ask me in my management classes if I have any career regrets, I don't go into a long rant over the things that coulda/woulda/shoulda happened over the years. No, as a strategic management professor and consultant who has reached AARP-eligibility, I don't have really any regrets about how my career ended up—save one. But yes, it's a big one! Yes, it would have meant that I would not have been standing in front of classrooms full of business students for over two decades and cranking out articles to survive in the "publish or perish" world in which we academics live.

The Relationship Between the FDA and the Supplement Industry
In 1993, the New York Times reported that the Food and Drug Administration proposed regulations be set forth to guide or control the vitamin and supplement industry. At that time, the market for supplements accounted for about four billion dollars in revenue a year. The ongoing issue the FDA has with the supplement industry is twofold; one is the regulation of health claims made by supplement companies, and two is a regular, systematic review of supplements for the presence of unclaimed or illegal ingredients.

Disabled People and Abusive Caregivers
Here’s another situation you able-bodied folks do not think about when it comes to disabled people stuck in an abusive situation be it a partner or family. Some people with disabilities put up with their caretaker being abusive by stealing their things. It can be hard to find a trustworthy caretaker for starters. If a family is untrustworthy, it is only because they use somebody’s disability to control them, their finances, when they leave the house, and more. Families shame their disabled children sometimes, depending on the type of disability.
