Adding Music to Your Videos
By: Jeff Durham - Updated: 28 Feb 2013 | *Discuss
Some of the most memorable films of all time have become even more ingrained in our minds because of the use of music – think 'My Heart Must Go On' in 'Titanic' or 'I Will Always Love You' in 'The Bodyguard' – and who could forget the chilling background music in 'Jaws'?
When studying TV programmes and films, in particular, you'll notice that the action never occurs for too long before the introduction of some sort of music and, used correctly, it can dramatically improve a home video production too.
Digital Editing To Add Music
With digital editing, all you have to do is to import a music file into your editing software application and then add it to the timeline where appropriate. There are 2 different methods of doing this. You can organise all of your video clips on the timeline and then add music to a new audio track or add the music to an audio track, first of all, then arrange the video clips to suit the music.
The first option is better if you're just creating a music bed to run underneath the visual images, whilst the latter option is better if the lyrics of a particular song need to occur at a given time to reflect and compliment what's happening visually.
The volume can be adjusted depending on what effect you're trying to achieve. You can have it quietly running underneath spoken dialogue which can then fade out or grow louder until it reaches a crescendo where it becomes the main focus and which will usually bring a particular scene to its climax. In fact, once you've grasped the basics of adding music to the timeline you don't even need to have an expert 'ear' because you'll intuitively realise, when playing the clips back, what 'works' and what doesn't.
Beware Of Existing Background Music
If you're intending to use additional music to add a complimentary effect to your home video, you need to try to ensure that there's no other music in the background as you're shooting. In some scenes, this might be difficult to achieve – an example being shooting a party scene where there's already likely to be music playing already.
This can present a problem in particular if you're cutting from the party to another scene where it's quiet and cutting back and to between these two scenes as it can be quite jarring for the audience to hear the music stopping, starting and stopping again, although for certain scenes, that's quite acceptable.
Nevertheless, if you're looking to incorporate music into your film, try to avoid filming where there's other music already playing in the background or else you are going to have great difficulty with clashing and the removal of the background audio.
Legal Implications
Although most of us tend to forget, the use of commercial music is restricted by copyright and this even applies to home video. Of course, you're hardly likely to be prosecuted if you've incorporated the music of your favourite Top 10 tune into your home video providing you're only viewing it at home (although, strictly speaking, you're still breaking the law).
However, this can become more risky if you've used music which is subject to copyright and have uploaded your video onto a website for others to share, which may also be seen by 'prying eyes'. If you're uncertain or uncomfortable about the implications of copyright law, the Internet has plenty of resources featuring music that is not subject to copyright and if it's not crucial to add in a specific song, some of this royalty-free material has been created with video films in mind.
There is little doubt, however, that the use of music in home video footage can greatly increase a video's appeal and can keep the audience interested.

I wish I had the luxury of choosing a 'cheat day' or not. With a 'cheat day' or 'cheat meal' you feel guilty for about an hour after you've inhaled an entire pizza with a side of chocolate. Or to take it one step further, you feel extra guilty (and hungover) on Monday when you've had a 'cheat weekend' of endless wine and half a packet of cigarettes. But, like 'they say', tomorrow's another day. You have THE CHOICE to return to (or start) your 'healthy habits' lifestyle. Matcha, kale, chia, kefir, hemp, coconut everything, protein balls, raw anything, amaranth, acai bowls, longevity bowls, farro, kimchi, cauliflower and just about anything with turmeric in it. On top of this, exercise for at least 30 mins per day, practice mindfulness and write in your gratitude journal before bed. Make sure you budget for your overpriced superfoods and really overpriced activewear.
For some women, this sounds heavenly, for other women - this sounds like pure hell. Regardless of which category you fall into - it's still a choice. By no means is this a 'pity post' or an 'I'm so incredibly bitter that I can't run along a crowded St Kilda sidewalk of a Saturday morning in my activewear only stopping to sip my alkaline water and touch up my makeup". To each their own. But, you have THE CHOICE to be fit, healthy, average, unfit, a slob or a bit of both. Lucky you, really. Because us girls fighting the tiresome, extremely frustrating battle that comes with a chronic illness - we don't have a choice. You have good days and bad days, but no days where the illness (visible or not) isn't there. Almost like ground-hog day where you wake up with the dreaded 'brain fog', take your necessary meds, eat, walk around zombie-like for an hour and finally be ready to start the day at around 10.00am. Some of us have to make appointments with physios simply to ask "If I start walking more (to the shops/beach/local neighbourhood) will it degenerate my legs and hips faster?" Rather than, "If I increase my cardio from 30 to 40 minutes, will I achieve the perfect beach body in time for summer?"

According to Dorothy Gallagher's biography of the anarchist Carlo Tresca, he had his last lunch at John's with his pal, the novelist John Dos Passos. Carlo enjoyed the veal scallopine with spaghetti while the two men discussed the future of Italy after Mussolini. Later that day, January 11 1943, Tresca was shot dead by a gunman Gallagher believes was Carmine Galante. The speculation is that Mussolini ordered the hit in response to Tresca's endless attacks on Il Duce.
Hope to do a story on this at some point. Thanks!

Why did the Bill of Rights not strongly affect citizens lives until after 1920s?
The Bill of Rights did not strongly affect most citizens' lives because it only limited the actions of the federal government and did not apply to the states until after the Fourteenth Amendment was ratified in 1868.
Which right is not guaranteed in the Bill of Rights?
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press, or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petitition the Government for a redress of grievances.
Is there a constitutional right to work?
Definition. Article 23.1 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights states: (1) Everyone has the right to work, to free choice of employment, to just and favourable conditions of work and to protection against unemployment.
What were the main arguments of the Federalists?
Federalists argued for counterbalancing branches of government. In light of charges that the Constitution created a strong national government, they were able to argue that the separation of powers among the three branches of government protected the rights of the people.
Does the Bill of Rights protect corporations?
Under U.S. law, these essential rights belong not only to American citizens, but also corporations—thanks to a few key Supreme Court cases and a controversial legal concept known as corporate personhood.
Do corporations have same rights as individuals?
Case law in the United States This opinion appears to us to be equally supported by reason, and by the former decisions of this Court." Beginning with this opinion, the U.S. Supreme Court has continuously recognized corporations as having the same rights as natural persons to contract and to enforce contracts.
How does the Constitution protect economic liberty?
I define economic liberty as the right to acquire, use, and possess private property, as well as the right to enter into private contracts of one's choosing. If the Constitution protects those rights, then the Constitution does protect economic liberty. The evidence shows that this was a reference to natural rights.
Why did the Federalists oppose adding a Bill of Rights to the Constitution which was addressed with the 9th Amendment of the Constitution?
They cited the lack of a bill of rights as a dangerous omission. Many were concerned that the strong national government was a threat to individual rights and that the President would ultimately become like a king. They also objected to the federal court system proposed in the Constitution.
What does the Constitution say about economy?
the constitution spoke directly to economic issues. article 1, section 8 stated that "congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes, duties, imposts, and excises"; and further gave congress the power "[t]o regulate commerce with foreign nations, and among the several states."
What did James Madison say about the Bill of Rights?
"No State shall violate the equal rights of conscience, or the freedom of the press, or the trial by jury in criminal cases," Madison said in the fifth part of his original Bill of Rights proposal.
Are the Bill of Rights absolute?
The U.S. Constitution—especially the Bill of Rights—spells out individuals' basic civil rights. But no rights are absolute. Government has the power to limit individuals' freedom under certain circumstances, like when they've committed a crime.
What argument did the Federalists give for not adding a Bill of Rights?
The Federalists felt that this addition wasn't necessary, because they believed that the Constitution as it stood only limited the government not the people. The Anti- Federalists claimed the Constitution gave the central government too much power, and without a Bill of Rights the people would be at risk of oppression.
Should corporations be treated as individuals?
Corporations must be treated as corporations, for many purposes, in order to preserve the rights and protect the interests of the persons involved with them. Owners, customers, employees, and creditors would all be worse off if corporations were not treated by courts as persons.
Do corporations have rights?
Corporations do not have coequal constitutional rights as living, breathing human citizens, but they are making claims on more rights that, until relatively recently, were only asserted by real people.
Is owning a business a constitutional right?
Business constitutional rights are the rights of any companies formed in the United States, which are afforded by the United States Constitution. Business owners will benefit from an understanding of the rights their companies do and do not have.
Does the Constitution protect capitalism?
come into touch with our capitalistic system has been in connec- tion with the commerce clause of the United States Constitution. The commerce clause has operated to protect capitalism from social control by the states.
What was the federalist argument for not adding a separate Bill of Rights to the Constitution Brainly?
Answer Expert Verified The primary Federalists argument for not adding a separate bill of rights to the Constitution was that "It was unnecessary because the new government had limited power", since they believed the system of checks and balances protected these rights already.

Can I Take a Bipolar Disorder Test?
Bipolar disorder causes mood swings ranging from manic, active states to low, depressive states that can vary widely between patients. Like most mental health disorders, there is no definitive Bipolar Disorder Test consisting of a blood test or other medical laboratory test to diagnose this condition. Lab work is often used in diagnostics to rule out other physiological causes for symptoms, but they cannot detect the disorder. Instead, doctors determine the presence of the illness through a variety of bipolar screening tests and questionnaires. Several diagnostic tools are used to help diagnose bipolar disorder.
Bipolar disorder (formerly referred to as manic depression) is diagnosed when a patient meets the criteria set out in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, (DSM-IV) which is published by the American Psychiatric Association and is used to appropriately diagnose mental health disorders. The Manual lists criteria for manic episodes, depressive episodes and for mixed episodes, which are times when both extremes are present nearly every day for at least a week. It also defines what is known as a hypomanic episode. In simplest terms, a hypomanic episode has the same types of behaviors or symptoms as a manic one, but they are not as severe or as long lasting as a full manic episode.
There are three types of bipolar disorder- Bipolar I disorder, Bipolar II disorder, and Cyclothymic disorder. With Bipolar I disorder, you have definitely had at least one manic or mixed episode, but not necessarily a major depressive disorder. Bipolar II disorder means you have had at least one major depressive episode and at least one hypomanic episode, but not necessarily a full manic or mixed episode. Cyclothymic disorder means you have several hypomanic episodes and several depressive periods, but not a full manic, major depressive or a mixed episode.
The first step in diagnosing bipolar disorder is usually a screening test like the one developed by Ivan Goldberg, or the Bipolar Mood Disorder Questionnaire used by many mental health professionals as a screening tool. By assessing the answers to a few simple questions, patients and doctors can begin to get a picture of whether bipolar disorder is responsible for ups and downs in life that seem to be more than just the average ebb and flow of life. A bipolar disorder quiz can also be used as a bipolar self test to help someone realize he or she should see a doctor for further evaluation.
The crux of a Bipolar Disorder Test or a Manic Depressive Test is an assessment of an overall pattern of moods and related behavior, not just a short-term period of problems.
The manic or "up" stages of the disorder are evaluated by periods of talkativeness or extreme energy, lack of sleep, impulsive behaviors such as spending too much money, risky behaviors including sexual promiscuity, among others. The depression or "down" periods of the disorder are addressed through questions about sleeping too much, feeling hopeless, restless, anxious, or suicidal as well as a prolonged sadness and loss of energy.
Although a bipolar disorder test is merely a screening tool, it is an important part of a professional diagnosis. While a questionnaire can never fully asses all situations with accuracy, they are useful when diagnosing bipolar disorder and other mental health conditions. They are best used to help you define and narrow down your symptoms and explain them to your doctor so you can get the proper help and treatment in dealing with bipolar symptoms.


Some of us can't wait for the next generation of turbodiesel-powered European cars to arrive on our shores. We have driven several of the vehicles shown and they're simply amazing-they're clean, quiet, smooth, torquey, fast, and economical. With engines averaging 30-percent-plus higher fuel efficiency than their gas-powered siblings, Europeans are choosing diesels more and more often. Here's a look at what some lucky Europeans are driving this year-and what you may be able to buy on our dealer lots next year.
With the exception of the Volkswagen TDIs and the Mercedes-Benz E 320 CDI, none these vehicles are available in the United States right now. In fact, there are several hurdles that will need to be cleared before similar cars to the ones shown will finally be available in the USA. It all comes down to passing the strict emissions standards introduced by the state of California and now adopted by four other states, including Maine, Massachusetts, New York, and Vermont.
According to Bosch, modern diesels are already significantly cleaner than they were only 16 years ago. "Since 1990, NOX, unburned hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxide, and particle emissions from diesel vehicles have decreased by approximately 90 percent. And today's diesel engines decrease greenhouse gas emissions [by as much as] 25 percent," said John Moulton, President, Powertrain Division, Robert Bosch Corporation.
Diesel has gotten cleaner but not clean enough to pass California's emissions tests just yet. The new national standard for ultra-low sulfur diesel fuel in the United States should be finalized by the Fall of this year. The new diesel fuel will reduce sulfur content from the current 500 parts per million to 15 parts per million. The new fuel combined with breakthroughs in after-treatments, such as particulate traps, nitrogen-oxide reduction systems, and so on, will turn modern clean diesels into ultra-clean diesels capable of passing emission standards in all 50 states.
When all this happens, we can envision a diesel computer tuner market developing overnight to hot rod turbodiesel-powered cars. Then, look out!
Mercedes-Benz S 320 CDIThe brilliantly designed new '06 S-Class leapfrogs its nearest competitors by virtue of its design and technology. A 235hp V-6 is the first diesel available in the new model. Torque has been increased from 369 to 398 lb-ft and is available as low as 1,600 rpm.
The S 320 CDI's third-generation common-rail technology features rapid firing and precise Piezo injectors, a maximum injection pressure of as much as 23,520 psi, and a maintenance-free particulate filter developed by Mercedes-Benz is standard equipment in the new S 320 CDI in a number of European countries. Look for other diesel offerings in the new S-Class in the near future. Whether or not the diesel-powered S-Class will be offered in the U.S. was unknown as this issue went to press.
Jeep Grand Cherokee Bluetec ConceptWith the sales success of the Jeep Liberty CRD, it was a no-brainer for DaimlerChrysler to develop a clean-diesel technology prototype, using its ever-popular Jeep Grand Cherokee as the platform to introduce its new Bluetec technology. Bluetec is touted as "the cleanest diesel powertrain system in the world and has the potential to meet regulations in all 50 states."
DaimlerChrysler's Bluetec technologies can be used in various combinations, depending on the specific needs of the vehicle, its packaging, and market requirements. Bluetec combines modern, efficient diesel engines with combinations of oxidizing catalytic converters, diesel particulate filters, and innovative systems for reducing nitrogen-oxide emissions. Bluetec is the shape of diesel to come.
Volkswagen Golf/Jetta TDIThe Volkswagen Jetta TDI is one of the most fuel-efficient cars on the road today. With United States EPA fuel mileage figures of 36 city/41 highway for the manual, and 35 city/42 highway for the automatic, the new Jetta TDI can travel more than 600 miles on a single tank of fuel. The TDI version of the Jetta will soon be joined by a TDI version of the fifth-generation Golf. Both will be available in 45 states. The Jettas and Golf TDIs share the turbocharged 1.9L diesel four-cylinder, producing 100 hp and 177 lb-ft of torque mated to a standard five-speed manual transmission or optional six-speed DSG automatic.
Volkswagen uses Pumpe Duse technology, where diesel fuel is injected at extremely high pressures into the combustion chamber, allowing more complete combustion. This makes the TDI engine quieter, more powerful, and more efficient than diesel engines with traditional fuel-injection systems.

Houston police are investigating after one man was shot to death at an apartment complex in southwest Houston. (KPRC)
HOUSTON – Police are investigating after one man was shot to death at an apartment complex in southwest Houston on Sunday.
Investigators with the Houston Police Department responded to the Villa Barcelona apartments located in the 7000 block of Bellerive around 4:30 p.m.
Officers arrived to find a man dead inside a dark-colored Nissan SUV. Police say he sustained a gunshot wound to the head.
"It actually happened in the back of an apartment complex in a unit. A witness tried to help load him in a car and tried to transport him but once he came out, he noticed he was deceased," said Sgt. Ibrahim Almasri.
Police said it's unclear what caused the shooting but believe the victim and two other men had some sort of altercation.
Investigators told KPRC witnesses reported seeing the two suspects run from the scene.
Anyone with information is urged to call Crime Stoppers at 713-222- TIPS.

Renowned motivational speaker and iconic personality Sonal Mansingh launches 'Ek Mulaqat' initiative in London
Vidyapath (UK) and Prabha Khaitan Foundation (India) launched their new initiative Ek Mulaqat on 18th June in London. Ek Mulaqat is a non-profit organisation promoting Indian art, culture, and literature in the UK and supporting charitable causes in India. The Vidyapath's mission is to build an established platform to promote South Asian art and its proponents in the UK for the benefit of a collection of small and medium charities in India. Their aim is to draw together a dedicated community of cultural enthusiasts through a series of curated events.
Vidyapath's earliest event was a book launch of Dr. Shashi Tharoor's "Inglorious Empire". A nascent organisation, they produced a kathak dance show for International women's day and a talk show promoting an upcoming Hindi writer, Pratishtha Singh. All events have been very well-received and now Ek Mulaqat, the new initiate, has been adopted by Vidyapath, which is formed by diverse yet like-minded individuals from different backgrounds, but tied up with a common influence of art and culture.
Launching the Ek Mulaqat, Dr. Sonal Mansingh, a Padma Vibhushan recipient and an iconic cultural personality, guru, choreographer, social activist, researcher and motivational speaker had a conversation with well-known writer, director and film maker Sangeeta Datta, best known for her critically acclaimed film, Life goes on. The event last week accommodated renowned guests and public figures like Sharmila Tagore, Javed Akhtar, Ashish Vidyarthi, Sukanya Shankar, wife of late Pandit Ravi Shankar, Dr. Padmesh Gupta, author and director at Oxford Business College, journalist Salil Tripathi, just to name a few.
Prabha Khaitan Foundation who organises these conversations on individual perspectives and understanding was founded by late Dr. Prabha Khaitan. It is a non-profit trust based out of Kolkata, West Bengal, India, it seeks to address the challenges of society through meaningful participation and collaborations with caregivers, committed individuals and institutions to implement various cultural, educational and social welfare projects in India.
Dr. Sonal Mansingh enlightened Londoners with her well-versed knowledge of the rich cultural heritage of India. Her message on the importance of an understanding of Vedas, poetries and their values in today's age of internet and 'Acharya' Google as she calls it, was really touching. She spoke about the various Indian classical dance forms and its roots in the vibrant folk dances of the country. Reflecting in her choreographic work like Draupadi, she emphasised that the role and place of women in the society remain the same important anywhere in the world.
Following its success, Vidyapath is committed to bring more such inspiring events to the UK and keep the rich culture and art of India alive in the hearts of people. All in all, a wonderful experience for the audience – we are looking forward to another Ek Mulaqat (Hindi: "one meeting").

ASKING ALEXANDRIA's Danny Worsnop jokes, "As a man who has performed on ShipRocked before, and regularly blacks out on boats, I am looking forward to doing both again in February. If you see a guy who looks like me but is almost definitely an inflatable tube man from outside a car dealership...it's me and I probably need more tequila (no cheap sh*t)."
"It's the 11th voyage of ShipRocked, so naturally we are gonna crank it up one louder! SR20 promises to deliver one of the most incredible and diverse lineups we've ever hosted aboard, and we couldn't be more excited for our guests to 'Rock Hard and Vacation Harder' with all of our performers next February!" says ShipRocked creator and producer Alan Koenig of ASK4 Entertainment.

Loudwire called ShipRocked "…a staple of the hard rock and metal event calendar [March 1, 2017]."
ShipRocked guests will enjoy luxury accommodations onboard the Carnival Valor throughout the vacation. Carnival Valor features multiple gourmet dining options, including Guy Fieri's Guy's Burger Joint, BlueIguana Cantina, Mongolian Wok, Ol' Fashioned BBQ, and more.

Yesterday was the last day to "drive away" the winter. This is Slovenian tradition every year, when people dress themselves up in costumes and that kind of things. This lasts from Saturday to Tuesday and there are also kurents (this is traditional mask in Slovenia and people are dressed in sheepskin and they have huge cow bells all around their waists and a big mask on their heads) who are involved in this carnival every year.
They are collecting hankies from women and they don't go away if they don't get it. And nowadays people don't carry fabric hankies anymore…anyways… Every time when I hear bells from kurent or when I see one I get a strange feeling in my stomach and it is because of the fear. I am afraid when they are close to me because I find their masks very scary looking and the expressions on the masks are like angry and mean. When they were passing by, I was very stiff and I was standing there like a statue because I thought that if I make myself "unnoticeable", standing in the background (preferably behind some big man) that they won't bother me or noticed me.
Fear is certainly a feeling that also I am dealing with now extensively. It basically originates from fear of loss or self-loss, especially at death.

I was a strong person today! I confronted two personal issues directly and made difficult choices. Well, for *me* it was difficult choices. I risked saying the wrong thing to two people (one of my biggest fears) and somehow ended up not screwing things up with either of them. In fact, I think I even managed to have a deep conversation about emotions instead of staying in my comfortable shallow water areas. Go me!
Love the Haiku! I can just see the pumpkin patch on your windowsill.
Oh, and I'm VERY proud of you for standing up and facing those personal challenges. =o) YOU GO GIRL!!!
And I didn't accept the friend request.
I was wondering if that's what you were talking about.
So, what was personal issue number two?


Are you saying that your .olm to pst converter will convert any file <50 GB?
Outlook Mac 2011 to Outlook Windows 2013 is what I plan to do.
Yes, there is no file size limitation to use OLM to PST converter tool. This tool can convert almost any amount of data including mails, calendars, contacts etc. from OLM to PST file type.
You can surely convert all your mail data from Outlook Mac 2011 to Outlook Windows 2013.
Glad to address in case you've any further queries.

Brennan Security Clearance Protest Update
There are now approximately 200 former national security officials who have signed the following statement:
In a recent statement 15 senior former senior intelligence officials expressed their strong opposition to actual or threatened removal of security clearances from former government officials. All of us believe it is critical to protect classified information from unauthorized disclosure. But we believe equally strongly that former government officials have the right to express their unclassified views on what they see as critical national security issues without fear of being punished for doing so. Our signatures below do not necessarily mean that we concur with the opinions expressed by former CIA Director Brennan or the way in which he expressed them. What they do represent, however, is our firm belief that the country will be weakened if there is a political litmus test applied before seasoned experts are allowed to share their views.
A copy of the statement with a list of current signatories is here. The statement is an update to the statement that I mentioned here (when there were only 60 signatories) and references another statement by "15 senior former senior intelligence officials" that I mentioned here when the number was only 12 former officials.

Q: 2-column layout with fixed content width, unlimited background width I'm trying to implement a layout for a website. Actually it is a simple 2-column layout where each column has its own background color. The content, however has a fixed width and it should be centered. The breaking point is the background, which should not be limited by the content width.
To illustrate the situation I have also made a picture:

I already had the idea to use a centered background image that I could tile vertically, but this solution would make the website's maximum width dependent on the width of the image.
What do you think, is there a better solution?
Thanks in advance
David

A: If you want to use an image as you bg, then the image should span a minimum of 960px, the first 640px being one colour and the right 320px should be the other colour.
If you want the bg to span the entire site, then you have to create a background large enough to span the first 1024px with the above column dimensions I mentioned. Add this to your CSS:
.wrapper {
    background:url("my image here") 0 0 repeat-y;
}

If you want to use colours only, just set the following attributes for each col class in the CSS:
col1 { background-color:#fff; }
col2 { background-color:#ccc; }

Assuming the following HTML structure:

Try the following CSS:
// This will create a wrapper across the entire page.
.wrapper {
    margin:0 auto;
    width:100%;
}

// This is your centered column
.content {
    float:left;
    width:960px;
}

// This is your first column
.col1 {
    background: **your background goes here
    float:left;
    width:640px;
}

// This is your second column
.col2 {
    background: **your background goes here
    float:left;
    width:320px;
}

If you want the bg to span the entire site, then you have to create a background large enough to span the first 1024px with the above column dimensions I mentioned.

A: YUI offers very good solution for the grid layout please check it, see if it helps.

University of MD student starts headscarf company
K. Sultana manufactures scarves that ventilate in hot weather
May 10, 2015. By Amit Roitman/For The Diamondback
While balancing life and schoolwork as a junior at this university, Omar Goheer has taken on another role as the creator and CEO of a company that sells headscarves for women.
Goheer, a chemistry and economics major, created K. Sultana, a company that manufactures and sells lightweight headscarves that ventilate well in hot temperatures to Muslim women.
Inspired by his mother, Kishwer Sultana, a single parent who provided for Goheer's family by starting a daycare business, Goheer wanted to create a company that could promote women's entrepreneurship.
"The word Sultana means 'queen' in the Arabic language, and at K. Sultana, we believe every woman deserves the right to be treated as a queen," Goheer said. "Every woman deserves the right to an education, equal rights in society and equal opportunities."
Goheer began research for the company during the spring semester of his freshman year through this university's Entrepreneurship and Innovation living-learning program. The program helped him launch the company website on Oct. 30. In March, the company began selling the scarves in person and donating some of the profits.
"In a nutshell, I would say these programs taught me the skills and provided me with the resources to turn something that was just an idea and make it a reality," Goheer said.
The scarves from the company can be purchased in person or online at ksultana.com. For every person-to-person sale, $7.50 of the commission is earned by saleswomen from Muslimat Al-Nisaa, a shelter for homeless Muslim women in Baltimore. The company also supports women's entrepreneurship by donating 15 percent of the online profits to Helping Hand for Relief and Development, a nonprofit international relief organization, Goheer said.
The company is also connected with ICNA Relief, a group of 12 Muslim women's shelters across the country.
Beidi Luo, a junior art history, information systems and supply chain management major, purchased a scarf from K. Sultana and said she was pleased with the product and company.
"It is really rare that you have a product that does what it is says, looks good, is so simple and wearable and also gives to a great cause that I really believe in," Luo said.
Goheer said he plans to expand and develop his business while working with the Dingman Center for Entrepreneurship's Fearless Founders program as well as Startup Shell.
Aisha Ali, a junior finance and international business major and K. Sultana's chief marketing officer, said Goheer's leadership skills have helped lead the company to success.
"It's a really important issue, especially in light of something that's a new almost trend in media," Ali said. "So it's really great to be doing something real and focused."

If you are on the search for a new small tablet then you could be trying to decide between the Google Nexus 7 and the Apple iPad Mini. Both of the tablets are great and in the end you might have to choose based on whether you want Android or iOS. Of course you would also have to take into account the display, the battery life and above all else the cost.
You could look at the Apple iPad Mini 16GB version. This would cost you $329 and the device is more portable than carrying around the iPad 4 with retina display. The Google Nexus 7 comes with plenty of customisation and it has a cost of $199 if you want the Wi-Fi option. This means it is cheaper than the Apple iPad Mini. Both have sharp displays and are fast, but which one should you go for?
Apple are the leaders when it comes to the design and so the iPad Mini does win, however the Google Nexus 7 is also good looking and it does come with a plastic back that is soft to the touch.
The Google Nexus 7 should be in front when it comes to the display as it does have higher ppi. However it is let down by the fact that Google and Asus cut corners and this means that the calibration of the display is off. The colours are not as good either, even with the device having 216ppi. The Apple iPad Mini comes with 163ppi. Text is better on the display of the Apple iPad Mini and it looks sharper, with the contrast and colours being clearer. Video and photos look better on the display as it is the larger of the two screens.
When it comes to price the Nexus 7 is the best choice and the only other tablets that come into the price tag are the Kindle Fire HD and the Nook HD. Google does like to keep their prices down as this attracts more buyers. Apple on the other hand is all about quality and design. The Apple iPad employees are known for delivering superb software and great designs. However the Nexus 7 is cheaper by around $129. You can get the 3G Nexus 7 for $299, while the Apple iPad Mini LTE version will cost you about $459. This of course is a big difference.
When it comes to the OS you would have to choose between iOS and Android 4.1. The Google Nexus 7 has Project Butter and this means that apps do run very smooth. However when the tablet got Android 4.2 this slowed it down.
The Nexus 7 has plenty of options for customisation. This includes shortcuts for apps, home screens and owners are even able to add on custom ROMs. With iOS you do not get any of these options.
When it comes down to hardware the Nexus 7 has the quad core 1.7GHz chip and the Apple iPad Mini has the A5 dual core processor, which is the same as in the iPad 2. When Geekbench tested the devices they found that the Nexus 7 comes with twice the speed of the Apple iPad Mini, however the A5 offers plenty of power for iOS. It also has a GPU that is considered to be world class. When it comes to the processor it has to be the Nexus 7, however for the GPU it is the Apple iPad Mini that leads.
Of course tablets rely on apps and this is where the Apple iPad Mini leads. It comes with plenty of apps which have been optimised for tablets, far more than what you would see in the Google Play Store. This means that you would have to choose over apps or software.
Both tablets come with batteries that are great and you should be able to get around 8.5 hours from the Nexus 7 and around 10 hours from the Apple iPad Mini. This means that the Apple iPad Mini comes out ahead.
Both of the tablets are very much the same in regards to specs and so you would have to choose based on the OS, the cost of the tablet and whether you needed LTE.

Role Police Play in Society
Role Police Play in Society Essay
Essay Topic: Society, Police
What is the role of police in society? What would happen if the role of the police were lessened as it applies to the theory and practice of community policing? The role of the police is to protect the community. Policing is depicted as a way of crime control, policing refers to organized forms of order maintenance, peace keeping, rule or law enforcement, and crime investigation. Meaning the government is charged with the regulation and control of the affairs of a community, and that the department is established to maintain order, enforce the law, and prevent and detect crime.
We will write a custom essay on Role Police Play in Society specifically for you
Various changes within the police organization are considered necessary to achieve a new style of policing at the neighborhood level.
These changes are change in organizational structure, decentralizing, flattening, creating teams, and civilianizing, changes in management, a mission statement that reflects new policing values, strategic planning, supervisory coaching and mentoring, and empowering of officers, changes in information management to establish new systems for evaluating personnel, units, and programs, and new systems for crime analysis, mapping, and resource deployment.
How do daily issues such as probable cause affect police from a legal standpoint? How can these issues be improved to aid police organizations in combating crime? Probable cause is a stronger standard of evidence than a reasonable suspicion, but weaker than what is required to secure a criminal conviction. Even hearsay can supply probable cause if it is from a reliable source or supported by other evidence. The police department faces so much ridicule because of dirty cops and the integrity of certain department's districts so to make the community feel like their actions taken is fair I think every search from beginning to end should be recorded and document.
Some many officers are accused of planting evidence to make the cases stronger so why not record the search. While some officer believe they should uphold the integrity of their job you have your other officers who does anything necessary to move up in ranks they even sending innocent people to jail because of a probable cause law. I believe audio recordings and video surveillance should be provided from the time officer's start and stop work when on patrol.

Here's why newsrooms should hire technologists --- now
We've read, repeatedly, about how legacy media continues to evolve to meet the new digital media demands. Newsrooms are hiring all-platform journalists who can write for multiple media; they're restructuring to add more muscle to their digital reporting teams and they're putting more emphasis on using metrics to determine what gets covered and what gets pushed to their audiences.
All of that is well and good, but it still means publishers are behind, since all of those steps should have been taken more than a decade ago. Would real digital change in a more aggressive manner have stemmed the advertising, circulation and ratings point losses suffered by legacy media?
Who knows? It's more than fair to say that earlier action wouldn't have hurt.
As legacy media makes its structural changes, it's forgetting a major component. It needs technologists, and it needs them fast. The science of content delivery is evolving, and there are few people — if any — in traditional news operations that have a firm grasp on what's happening.
Content delivery involves using available devices to get content to users when they want it. In order to be successful, newsrooms need people who not only understand how these devices work, but how they can more effectively use them to push out the content their users want.
I encourage you to read Quartz's outstanding story on how smartphones are changing the way content will be produced and consumed. Content is no longer a story written by a journalist because he or she thinks the topic is relevant. Content will be topical based on where a person is at any point in his or her day, whether it be stuck in traffic, emerging from a subway platform on the way to work, or drinking a nice cabernet at the end of the day.
For example: Who, in your organization, knows how to use location data to pinpoint where your audiences are, and deliver information based on that knowledge? That, to me, is the single most important issue content producers face. It's no longer good enough to simply produce the content; you have to get the content to audiences where they are.
The paradigm has long shifted. People no longer find the news — the news finds people.
What do I mean by that? In the long, distant past (like, 15 years ago) audiences still, by and large, waited for their newspapers to be delivered to their doorstep, or turned on their radio for the morning drive, or went home and waited for the local and then national news to be broadcast in the late afternoon/early evening. People had to go find the news. Now, with push notifications becoming ubiquitous, news finds people based on their content desires.
Instead, many publishers are still experimenting with content in a 2010 way (I say 2010 because that's when the tablet era began). Many are still trying to determine what works best on mobile vs. tablets, what works best at what time of day and whether certain content should be long-form, short-form, or strictly graphically displayed. Instead, they should be focused on the impact technology has on content, and react with the speed of a technology company — not a legacy media company.
That's why every news organization needs a technology guru who understands the latest technology and content's relationship to it.
Content is no longer just about writing. It's about delivering what people want — fast.
Legacy media's new role: community leaders
So, we have yet another racial firestorm a brewing, this time involving Bruce Levinson, the owner of the Atlanta Hawks. He said some stupid things, and has now vowed to sell the team. The legacy media has reported the events in the standard, traditional, straight-laced way that it has reported such stories for more than a century. And soon, it will go on to other things.
And that's the problem. Legacy media could --- and should --- just stop reporting on issues. It should take the lead in fostering real conversations about important issues in our country, and race relations could be at the top of the list. There are tons of others that are vexing, too, but this country has never really had (at least, in my time), a real sustained conversation about race in America. Instead, legacy media simply reports on events and focuses on the wrong issues. More on that later.
Look at all of the race-related stories of late. Michael Brown, an unarmed black man, is shot dead by a police officer in Ferguson, Mo. That leads to days of violent protests, and a stark split in how the populace views the events. Blacks say the shooting raises important issues on race, yet a plurality of whites say it got too much attention, according to Pew Research Center poll.
In a Dayton-Ohio suburb, a black male is shot dead by police while walking through a local Walmart carrying what appears to be a toy gun. Judging from the photos in the local media, the demonstrations on behalf of the John Crawford, the slain man, were attended mostly by blacks; the demonstrations in support of the police, mostly by whites.
And now Levinson, who, in short, said attendance at Atlanta Hawks' games stinks because southern whites are uncomfortable around blacks. Media has reported the story, what his emails said, the NBA's self-congratulatory back slapping, and the predictable outrage by those offended by the emails. That reporting is all good, but it leaves open a critical question that deserves reasoned examination --- is Levinson right, and if he is, what does that mean for race in Atlanta? All of the denunciations of his incredibly clumsy and offensive remarks doesn't change that he could very well be on to something.
Then, there are all of the other race-related issues that we talk about amongst ourselves, but don't talk about together. Whites who clutch their purses or bags tighter when a young black male draws near, or who cross the street to avoid blacks; or blacks who won't leave a store without a receipt for fear of being accused of shoplifting, or who duck in a store to avoid balding, tattooed white guys. Those are just a few examples.
The issue of race in America lacks real, prolonged and serious leadership. There is no advantage for any elected official to make this topic a priority. Most whites don't see race as much of a problem, and if the majority if the electorate doesn't see something as an issue, why bother?
Well, there's a big bother. There are plenty of people that want to pretend that the issue of race in America is exaggerated or it's "better than it has been." But there are plenty more who understand this is an issue that can cause immense social harm. Ferguson was a societal microcosm that should teach everyone a frightful lesson --- people who feel wronged, and reach a breaking point, will react, loud and angry. If the same had happened in St, Louis, Chicago, or New York, the proportional demonstration and violence would have made Watts look like a teeny, tiny neighborhood dispute.
And where's the legacy media? It breathlessly covers the story as long as there are ratings to be gained. When the story begins to lose steam, the reporters disappear. It's not like Michael Brown is any less dead, or that the people in Ferguson feel any less wronged. It's just that the media has lost most of the interest it had at the height of a truly awful story.
This is not to say this is legacy media's fault. It is not. Legacy media could use the examination of social issues as the niche it needs to remain relevant in a digital world. It has the reporting and editing expertise and community reach to make a real, lasting difference. What's it waiting for?
Media can take the lead --- right now --- and lead open and honest conversations about race in communities across the country. And I mean going beyond the superficial, "I don't like blacks," or, "I don't trust whites" polls we see so often. I mean a real look at how racial attitudes impact every aspect of all of our lives.
How does race impact where people live, and the ability for them to easily access city services? What's race's effect on the ability to secure a good-paying job with true, equal chances at promotion? What role does race play on Sunday mornings, when countless parishioners flock to churches and worship with people who look just like them?
These are powerful, important issues that need context, and, most importantly, solutions with community input. Some will argue this is the role editorial boards and best played in opinion pages. They would be wrong.
This is the role of the new legacy media, which should embrace leading a community through difficult issues.
Reporting what happens isn't enough anymore. It's time to become community activists that provides context and leads to solutions.


Would You Buy a Telenoid from Outer Space?
This is the year 2250. At the space railway station on planet Telvikos, the small robot Telenoid R1 is waiting for his departure to Earth. It is already nighttime on Telvikos, and Telenoid can be recognized from afar by his bright silicone skin. His form and face somehow resemble people from planet Earth, although he is only as tall as a puppet. "Telenoid R1, please float to Chronoportation," the loudspeakers at the space railway station say. The robot sighs briefly and packs in his long-term memory cell for the journey.
Would you buy a Telenoid robot with a sci-fi background? According to research conducted at the Ars Electronica Futurelab, you're not only more likely to adopt a Telenoid, but also perceive it as more useful, when it's introduced with the story above.
At the Ars Electronica museum in Austria, Hiroshi Ishiguro's Telenoid, a telepresence robot, was presented to visitors in three different ways. Visitors received a one-page introduction to the robot either with a narrative text, a functional description, or nothing at all. Both leaflets provided the same information about the robot's appearance, functionality, and purpose. The only difference was whether it was presented as a story.
Narrative: "As a communication robot of the new interstellar time, one of Telenoid's main tasks is to help people from planet Earth to maintain their human relationships. If two people on Earth would like to talk to each other or sense each other despite living far from each other—maybe even on different continents—then a robot of the Telenoid species is called from Telvikos and sent to the right time and place via Chronoportation."
Non-narrative: "Telenoid R1 is a communication robot that could become an alternative for mobile phones or video conferences within a few years time. With a remote-controlled Telenoid it will be possible for people of the future to keep close, personal contact with friends or family members, even though they might be far away or even living in another continent."
As you can see in the graphs below, visitors' perceptions and intentions toward the robot changed significantly after reading the narrative description of the robot.
"Narrative persuasion," a term used by media psychologists to describe storytelling as a means to get your point across, is nothing new. But this technique might be a simple way to bring useful technology to people that might not otherwise accept robots into their lives.
According to lead researcher Martina Mara, storytelling may even hold a greater power to making robots more integrated into society. "Our latest [unpublished] results suggest that even the famous uncanny valley could eventually be bridged by presenting a 'scary' robot as a story character," she says.
Would WALL-E, C-3PO and other character robots be as lovable if we didn't know their story? Mara suggests that further research with other robots is needed to check whether the results can be generalized, and explore the underlying psychology behind it.
The study "Tell Me Your Story, Robot: Introducing an Android as Fiction Character Leads to Higher Perceived Usefulness and Adoption Intention" by Martina Mara, Markus Appel, Hideaki Ogawa, Christopher Lindinger, Emiko Ogawa, Hiroshi Ishiguro, and Kohei Ogawa of Ars Electronica Futurelab, University of Linz and Osaka University, was presented at Human Robot Interaction 2013 in Tokyo.


This week I'm speaking at the International Women's Fiction Festival in Matera, Italy, which is slanted this year toward digital publishing and the future of authorship, particularly indie models.
On Friday morning, Bella Andre gave a talk on her path to success, from a traditionally published author with 7 titles in 2010, to self-published phenom with millions of titles sold and an 8-figure annual income. While she didn't structure her talk with specific takeaways, these are the lessons I saw in her story.
1. Speak up about what you're doing, especially your successes—and target your message appropriately.
When Andre self-published her first book, she did not have a big fan base from traditional publishing. However, she had collected several hundred emails from people over the years (the seven years of her traditional career). She wrote each reader a personal email that said, "Here's the book that you've been wanting that my traditional publisher did not put out, and here's how you can get it." That book ended up being the first self-published book to hit the top 25 bestseller list of an online retailer.
Andre felt it was important to spread the word about her success; she had begun selling 1,000 copies per day. She got on Twitter and sent a targeted tweet to three news outlets saying that she was the first self-pub author in the top 25 with her ebook. The Washington Post was one of the outlets, and a reporter got in touch right away, in the hopes Andre could serve as exhibit A for a piece they were developing on ebook self-publishing. Here's the article that was published.
2. Decide on your long-term strategy and execute it.
3. Find the sweet spot between what you love to do and market demand.
Andre puts in the work; she produces a book every three months by writing 25 pages a day. This is her optimal pace; she knew she could put out 8 books in two years.
4. Most people don't do what it takes; they'd rather do their own thing.
Does doing your own thing equate to the kind of financial success you want? Go back and read lesson three.
5. No work is wasted; it all contributes to the journey.
When she first self-published, it was done while biding her time waiting for a traditional publishing contract. She didn't particularly know what she was doing and didn't even keep track of her Amazon KDP account credentials. But when she saw something exciting happening with her sales, she focused her attention on developing a strategy to support it and build on it.
What I see in that is a playful experiment, a curiosity and openness to exploration and adventure, that is a recurring theme in so many success stories. Even when efforts don't pan out, you've added to your body of experience. Andre, on a later panel, talked about a $40,000 disaster in hiring translators (via eLance) for her series. I'm sure she wishes she could've avoided that experience, but what a valuable one to inform future efforts!
Go read more about Bella Andre at her website.
Jane, thanks for passing on the good success tips, to keep us motivated. And very encouraging to hear it reinforced that many series authors pop at book five- I've got #4 out soon, so next year could be the Big One!
I'm ALWAYS fascinated to read about another traditionally-published author to find even bigger success going indie. Timely and informative news. As always, thanks, Jane.
Jane, probably you can attest to Bella Andre's point, which you've paraphrased as "4. Most people don't do what it takes; they'd rather do their own thing." This is true even of writers who have agents and writers who have book deals. Which, obviously, gives a certain advantage to people who do what it takes. It's a simple truth, but one that isn't obvious to daydreamers.
Thanks for sharing. Agree with #4. You have to listen. I do. And I am patient. Book 3 coming out soon. And then the 4th. The first has found a special niche which I feel will go on for years. Given me the chance to speak to organizations, even though it is fiction, it struck a chord.
I'm reading a book called ReWork that would disagree with some of the traditional ideas about planning and strategies in business. Do you think the same can apply to publishing?
Very inspiring story! I love to hear that hard work and determination are enough to push writers over the hump. Excellent point that tooting your own horn doesn't have to be a bad thing, and for writer's trying to drum up publicity, can be a very good thing!
The independent publishing process can open many avenues of freedom and creativity. It can also punish people who don't respect that freedom (and their art) enough to do what needs to be done.
Those are really helpful. But I'm not sure of entering the self-publishing market as I am a non-US citizen. Not even from an english speaking country, but with good english writing skills. I have read many articles about stratergies to carry out, when selling the ebooks. However, I am ready to publish my novels online. Fingers crossed. Let's see if readers will like them. Cheers!
Confused about part 4. It doesn't explain in detail what "going off on my own way" is and why this is bad. Also, while I don't disagree that it's possible for anyone to have great success doing the "right thing" (whatever that means), clearly not everyone can, or else every author would be successful.

The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) (formerly known as Food Stamp Program) provides food assistance to eligible households to cover a portion of a household's food budget. Benefits are distributed through an Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT) card. SNAP benefits can be used to purchase eligible food items for home consumption including seeds and plants which produce food for consumption by SNAP households. Farmers markets are available for SNAP benefits as well as eligible retailers. In addition to food assistance, the program provides SNAP recipients with nutrition education, employment and training, and work experience in some cases.

Family Matters No. 31 - April 1992
Trapped in poverty
The difficulties of sole mothers
Ruth Weston
Using data from the Institute of Family Studies' Parents and Children after Marriage Breakdown study, the author examines the difficulties sole mothers encounter when they attempt to escape poverty by finding paid work.
It is commonly assumed that a sole mother and her children will be financially secure once the mother finds paid work. Emphasis is thus placed on job retraining for mothers who left the workforce to care for their children. Yet upon marital separation, the demands of the care of children will compete even more strongly with the demands of paid work, sole mothers having lost any daily child care support the fathers once provided.
'Although my ex-husband hadn't a lot to do with the discipline of the children, he supported me in all these things and I miss that badly.'
'I find the sole care of my children draining.'
'In view of my son's chronic illness, the divorce has put an extra strain on me that no money could compensate. It's the lack of support as well as the lost pay and effects on my career when I have to take time off to care for him.'
Such were the difficulties highlighted by some of the sole mothers who took part in the Parents and Children after Marriage Breakdown study, the Institute's 1987 follow-up study of parents who were divorced in the Melbourne Registry of the Family Court of Australia.
Poverty traps associated with sole-parent pensions are not only an additional barrier to paid work, but they also challenge the assumption that the family will escape poverty once the mother finds paid work. As Brownlee (1985) explained, the term 'poverty traps' refers to the combined effects of taxation and the social security income test. She noted that sole-parent pensioners working part- time can find that their jobs provide little if any financial improvement because of these effects, coupled with the work-related costs of travel and child care.
Pensioners lose 50 cents in every dollar of the pension for each dollar earned above a certain amount of earnings that is, $66 for a single parent with two children ($42 plus $12 for each child). Combined with income tax, effective marginal tax rates exceed 70 per cent over certain ranges of income.
However, if adequate payments are to be made only to people in need, then poverty traps are an inevitable consequence. Under such a targetted system, poverty traps cannot be eradicated, but measures can be taken to alleviate them. Policy makers are faced with the very difficult task of attempting to create a system which provides a safety net for families in crisis, but does not discourage sole parents from entering the workforce on a full-time or part-time basis.
The Institute's 1987 study is an excellent opportunity to assess the extent to which economic disadvantage persists in the long term. The parents in the sample had two children from their first marriage. Interviews for the initial Economic Consequences of Marriage Breakdown study took place in 1984 (some two to five years after separation). The follow-up interviews in 1987 were therefore some five to eight years after separation.
This analysis focuses on families headed by women who were not living with other adults (126 families in 1984, and 101 in 1987). The vast majority of sole mothers in the second survey were also sole mothers in the previous survey, while the remainder had had partners in 1984 and since separated, or they and their children had been living with other adults, such as parents, at the time of the first survey.
The accompanying table shows there was a decrease in the proportion of sole parents receiving pensions. The 1984 study found 91 per cent of sole-parent pensioners with supplementary paid work were 'poor' (with incomes less than 20 per cent above the poverty line), compared with just four per cent of sole mothers relying totally on paid work. In 1987, the proportions were 77 per cent and 12 per cent respectively. In other words, most sole mothers on pensions were unable to 'work their way out of poverty' by part-time work.
Social security and paid work status of sole mothers
per cent 1987

Social security benefits only 36 29
Paid work only 36 49
Both 28 22
The real meaning of poverty traps for these pensioners is best understood when past and present sole mothers describe their experiences. Their frustration at being constrained by the limits on income earned before the pension is affected was particularly apparent.
It is important to point out that the situation is better for sole- parent pensioners now than at the time of the survey. For instance, maintenance income and earned income are now subject to a separate test, the free income area is now indexed, and sole parents in full-time work can keep their pensioner fringe benefits for six months. In addition, the Jobs, Education and Training (JET) program has been established to help sole parents into the workforce and provide access to child care, and a $100 employment entry payment has been introduced for sole-parent pensioners whose earnings increase to over $228 per week, or who go off the pension to begin paid work.
'I feel helpless, insecure and looked down upon by others when on the pension. If I go out to full-time work, I don't get any pension and part-time is the same in that I lose dollar for dollar when I earn. It isn't feasible financially and it's a long day for the kids. If I stay at home on the pension, then holidays, going out, and extras for the kids are not on. If I go out and work a full working day, I don't get ahead because of the loss of pension and benefits. Working would be good to stimulate my own needs and be a happier person - a better mum - but I can't because I can't afford to. It's frustrating and humiliating.' [As illustrated here, some people find the income test difficult to understand.]
'I'm only able to earn $42 a week before the pension is affected. Where can you find a fixed part-time job earning this amount? A full- time job is out of the question when I have a young family and I'm single.'
'There was only a small income I could earn and keep my pension. This kept us poor. Including travelling costs to a job, the amount earned or allowed to be earned is quite unrealistic. Social security people must accept that most people must depend on social security during this period of their life, but I felt that because my marriage ended and I was on social security, I was seen as a no-hoper, a down- and-outer - something I didn't feel. When I stated I was in financial hardship, I was told other people manage. I don't believe anyone can manage on that amount - either they're getting help or substantially going without.'
'My children have suffered because of the lack of money brought about by divorce and the social welfare system. The welfare system does not allow the custodial parent to earn enough to maintain a good standard of living and education. That is why so many kids feel hopeless. We were very well off and there was a bright future for them whereas now everything is a struggle. Financial hardship forces us to act in ways we dislike. We are living under terrible threat from social security. We have no heating, laundry, etc. We can't buy new clothes - we are 'op-shop dressed'. Day-to-day living is a struggle. You are cornered whichever way you turn.'
'It's financially demoralising because, if you make extra money, social security takes away some of the benefits. There is no way for me to get ahead. It would be different if I was educated. If things break around here, they just don't get fixed. I waited six months to get the oven fixed because I couldn't afford to pay someone. The kids miss out on the extras because I can't earn the extra money.'
It is mothers who tend to be seen as dependent on public funding, rather than the children who have lost most of their father's financial support.
Decisions made in the marriage for mothers to forsake careers to care for children have been extremely costly for these families upon separation. Funder (1991a) indicated that a lack of qualifications and the presence of young children were barriers against these women returning to the workforce. Many mothers felt they ought to be home when their children came home from school and during the school holidays, and that this would not be possible if they were employed. These dilemmas are captured in the following comments:
'There is so little money on Supporting Parents' Benefit - it's a constant struggle. The only alternative is to go out to work full-time, but it's a constant trade-off - money for the things the children want or time for me to spend with the children. How can you develop a career and have children?'
'If I went back seven years, I would have fought to get the financial rights that I and my children were entitled to. Supporting children and developing one's self are far more difficult than I at first imagined. I worry about the time I spend away from the children.'
'I have been looking for suitable work, but it is difficult to find, and I prefer to be home when the children return from school. I have a good relationship with the children and feel I could lose this if I'm forced into a job which carried attendant worries about the children's welfare after school and during holidays.'
However, some of those with full-time jobs found them personally rewarding, and believed that these benefits flowed on to the children:
'I was lucky in that I got a good job when I separated. I couldn't possibly manage on only the Supporting Parents' Benefit and I couldn't stay home depressed; you need a job for therapy, too. It's worth paying for creche and child minding because a job gives you self esteem. This is very important because after a divorce you feel a failure. If I'd stayed home and received the Benefit, I think I wouldn't have coped as well with my children.'
Further, sole-parent fathers continued to work full-time, while caring for their children. According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics, the labour force participation rates of sole-parent fathers are much greater than those for sole- parent mothers, even when age of the youngest child is controlled. Fathers are also much more likely to work full- time than mothers (ABS June 1990). The Institute's survey showed that work for women after marriage breakdown (like work for men) is primarily a function of their work at the time of the marriage breakdown, with those not employed at this time being less likely to be in paid work post-separation than the employed. Post-separation poverty, then, can be traced to pre- separation work status. These trends reinforce the need for measures to assist mothers to re- enter the workforce.
As Funder (1991b) explained, the sole-parent pension is a safety net for sole parents while they have no other means of support, such as income from full-time employment. However, poverty traps, coupled with children's continuing needs for care, can increase the length of time the family will remain entirely dependent on welfare. For the children, the associated experience of poverty can amount to a large slice of their childhood. Indeed, research in Australia, Great Britain and the United States indicates that such poverty is likely to result in career disadvantages for the children, thereby increasing their chances of living in poverty when adults (Kilmartin and Wulff 1984; McLanahan 1991).
The topic of poverty traps is a complex one, and a number of initiatives relevant to sole-parent families have been introduced over the last few years.

If you're like us, you've probably wondered what famous people add to their carts. Not the JAR brooch and Louis XV chair, but the hand sanitizer and the electric toothbrush. We asked actress Susan Kelechi Watson of This Is Us (which returns tonight) about the furry slides, vitamin C lotion, and gummy vitamins she can't live without.
I noticed a friend who had this bag, and as a New Yorker, I love a big bag. Something about the tote was so stylish because it didn't have all these compartments, meaning you could see everything without digging around. It was a fly bag! I asked her about it, expecting it to be some $300 thing, and when she told me she got it at Urban Outfitters, I was like, "Oh, whaaat Urban Outfitters?" So for my birthday that year, I asked my mom to get it for me, and I now get so many compliments on that bag. I've had it for so many years, and I still get compliments.
Obviously, I got settled with my routine when I was on a budget, but this stuff works. I actually started using Palmer's in college when I was breaking out, and this helped even out my skin tone. People get so shocked when I say I use it on my face because "It's too heavy," but it works for me. I like to put a bit on under makeup just to keep the skin moisturized and protected.
The truth is that I really wanted the Rihanna Fenty furry slides, but I was too late on them, and these were the closest thing I could find. Now, it's actually hard to take them off because they're just so comfortable and so cute. I don't wear them out, though. I'm all about slides and slippers just within the house. The "wearing it out" phenomenon is not for me.
I discovered this in my friend's medicine cabinet, which you really shouldn't be digging around in, but I was staying at her place last year, and when I saw it, I dabbed a bit around my eyes because on the bottle it actually said that it's good for wrinkles around there. I promise you, I went to an appointment afterward and they actually asked me, "Are you on a break from school?" And I was like, "You know who is using this vitamin E now." What I'll do is mix some into my Palmer's and press it onto my skin at night to wake up looking fresh and well-conditioned.
Ah, I was on such a budget! I got hooked on these when I was going to Trader Joe's all the time back in the day because no other vitamins have ever worked for me, whether it's a women's health or bone health or whatever. I started eating these and noticed that I just felt good, which is how vitamins should make you feel! If you want to buy them at Trader Joe's instead of online, you shouldn't have any problem with sold-out stock. Nobody really buys them for some reason.
I'm all about simple products (if you can't tell), and this actually came to my agency as a gift. Apparently vitamin C is brightening for your complexion, and I promise that it actually works. Ever since I started using it, I've gotten compliments on how bright and healthy my skin looks. It does what it says! I'll put one squirt on my face, a bit of cocoa butter, and I'm good to go.
I actually was at the Oliver Peoples store on Sunset and treated myself to these because I'd booked the pilot to This Is Us. This was my pilot present to myself — an expensive pair of sunglasses. Welcome to L.A.! They're the sunglasses I wear the most because they're kind of funky and classic at the same time, and I liked that it's not something everyone is wearing.
