Cheating Welfare - Public Assistance and the Criminalization of Poverty

Synopsis

Over the last three decades, welfare policies have been informed by popular beliefs that welfare fraud is rampant.  As a result, welfare policies have become more punitive and the boundaries between the welfare system and the criminal justice system have blurred—so much so that in some locales prosecution caseloads for welfare fraud exceed welfare caseloads. In reality, some recipients manipulate the welfare system for their own ends, others are gravely hurt by punitive policies, and still others fall somewhere in between.In Cheating Welfare, Kaaryn S. Gustafson endeavors to clear up these gray areas by providing insights into the history, social construction, and lived experience of welfare. She shows why cheating is all but inevitable—not because poor people are immoral, but because ordinary individuals navigating complex systems of rules are likely to become entangled despite their best efforts. Through an examination of the construction of the crime we know as welfare fraud, which she bases on in-depth interviews with welfare recipients in Northern California, Gustafson challenges readers to question their assumptions about welfare policies, welfare recipients, and crime control in the United States.

    Essentialism by Greg McKeown : Book SummaryORIGINAL BOOK DESCRIPTION: Essentialism: The Disciplined Pursuit of Less by Greg McKeownHave you ever found yourself stretched too thin? Do you simultaneously feel overworked and underutilized? Are you often busy but not productive? Do you feel like your time is constantly being hijacked by other people's agendas? If you answered yes to any of these, the way out is the Way of the Essentialist. The Way of the Essentialist isn't about getting more done in less time. It's about getting only the right things done. It is not a time management strategy, or a productivity technique. It is a systematic discipline for discerning what is absolutely essential, then eliminating everything that is not, so we can make the highest possible contribution towards the things that really matter.By forcing us to apply a more selective criteria for what is Essential, the disciplined pursuit of less empowers us to reclaim control of our own choices about where to spend our precious time and energy - instead of giving others the implicit permission to choose for us. Essentialism is not one more thing - it's a whole new way of doing everything. It's about doing less, but better, in every area of our lives. Essentialism is a movement whose time has come.

    Sometimes, looking at your past can give you the strength to move forward. As the classic symptoms of Parkinsons disease began to take control of Simon's life, he became a shadow of his former self. After months of fighting to keep the disease in check, Simon finally found the strength to tell his family and even managed to book an appointment with a neurologist. Sadly, at a time when he needed an experienced health care professional to help him fight his corner, what he got was a cold, uncaring man who clearly had no time for his situation. However, his initial assessment proved to be 100% accurate; at just 36 years of age, Simon was told he had Parkinsons disease. The desire to produce a written account of his life for his immediate family and friends led to A Life Worth Living. Ingram looks back at his life, often with humour and pathos, and decides that the way to keep going is to appreciate the life he has led. The only way to fight is to appreciate what battles he has already fought and won. After all, what else makes a life worth living? Ingram's first-hand account of his life from his early childhood to teen years to his first signs of the debilitating disease give an insider's look at not just a 'disease' but a man.

    Make a wish. Beautiful, glowing skin. Hair that shines with health. No age spots or dark circles. The very process of ageing slowed down to a gentle crawl. You now have the power. NO ONE HAS TO KNOW, the ultimate guide to anti-ageing by celebrated medical cosmetologist and pioneer in age-defying techniques Dr Jamuna Pai, works on the principle that people willing to invest time and other resources in anti-ageing treatments don't always want to look like they have done so. This painstakingly detailed yet easy-to-read book not only explains what speeds up the ageing process but also what effectively slows it down. Dr Pai debuts her 'less is more' 5E approach to skin – Everyday, Exfoliate, Erase, Eat and Exercise – to help you understand that subtle changes have the biggest impact. From homemade remedies to sunscreens, from facial exercises to Botox, from alkalizing foods to state-of-the-art non-surgical techniques, this is your one-stop resource for cutting-edge advice depending on your age, the severity of the problem and your budget. There are fine lines between enhancement and transformation and between transformation and mutation, and Dr Pai believes that the most powerful way to fight ageing is to look like the most glorious version of you. Because the best form of anti-ageing is the kind that keeps everyone guessing. No one has to know.

Well-known faces like Clarence Saunders, Elvis Presley, and W.C. Handy are joined by some of the more obscure characters from the past, like the Memphis gangster who inspired one of William Faulkner's most famous novels; the local Boy Scout who captured German spies during World War I; the Memphis radio station that pioneered wireless broadcasting; and so many more. Also included are the previously unpublished private papers and correspondence of former mayor E.H. Crump, giving us new insight and a front-row seat to the machine that shaped Tennessee politics in the twentieth century.  Includes photos
