Believe, Zimbalam and TuneCore are about to screw 100,000 musicians by forcing them to take their music off of iTunes, Spotify, Deezer, Google Play...
Another reminder to be careful about what platforms to use for putting up albums...
Every year, thousands of American students go away to college for the first time … and 4 years later, they graduate with a greater understanding of not just the intellectual ideas that have shaped their society, but also of themselves— who they are, how they want to be viewed by their peers, and where they fit in. But these social lessons are not always empowering. Indeed, many young women at America’s top universities are graduating with a sense of self that is destructive and debilitating…“Sometimes there’s a lot of competition,” she says. “You’ll walk into your class in sweatpants and a t-shirt and look around and notice that some people are wearing make-up, and you think, ‘Oh, no, should I have been wearing make-up? I didn’t spend enough time getting ready this morning.’”…One undergraduate woman, in striving to describe what the social climate for women was at Duke, came up with this beautiful phrase. She said that the expectation for women at Duke was ‘effortless perfection,’” says Donna Lisker, director of the Duke Women’s Center. “By that, she meant they had to be not only academically successful, but also successful by all the traditionally female markers—thin, pretty, well-dressed, nice hair, nice nails. And, the real rub is you had to do it with no visible effort.”

Gender Bias in the Classroom
According to Columbia's School of the Arts and Sciences Teacher center, despite more females seeking a college degree, today's college classroom still maintains gender bias. Professors may subtly prefer males, and female students are less confident in the classroom. For example females are less likely to speak, and are less confident in their presentation compared to their male counterparts.
What is Effortless Perfection?
"First coined in Duke University’s landmark study by the Women’s Initiative in 2003, the concept of “effortless perfection” has spread virulently since, giving a name to the constant pressure felt by college women to be “smart, accomplished, fit, beautiful and popular,” all without “visible effort.”-Amy Yao, Huffington Post
What is Effortless Perfection?
“Female students feel that they have to conform to traditional ideals of femininity while also accomplishing the highest level of academic success. They need to be attractive, but not too attractive, smart, but not too smart. The ideals affect, among other things, how women dress, eat, study, date, and show initiative.”
