			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I always stare at the computer in awe and admiration. With the advent of computer and internet whatever was impossible earlier has become possible. There was a time when telegram was the fastest mode. All news good or bad was sent through this. A letter from a person abroad or even in next state took a long time to reach. We always waited for the postman daily in expectation unlike now. Writing letters has become an act of past. No one is bothered about spellings. Why should someone put energy and work when spell check does it all. Now emails, facebook, orkut has taken the responsibility of bringing people together. This is article about <a href="http://www.vintimile.com" target="_blank">online shops</a> &#8230;</p>
<p><span id="more-1065"></span></p>
<p>I remember the days when planning were done much ahead any festival to buy clothes. Any appliances or things to be bought were given a great deal of thought. Whether it really was necessary and whether the money put in it was worthwhile. I remember it was Diwali and Pongal when we used to go shopping for dresses unlike now when we buy what we see. We bought jewelleries and appliances during marriages or some important occasions. The budget fixed, we shopped within that amount not like we do now with swipe of cards. With these cards, whether we need it or not we get it for the fancy of it. This swiping of cards is taken over by online shopping. It’s a very dangerous option. I don’t know about others, but it is for shopaholics like me.</p>
<p> We don’t have to roam about in the sun, don’t have to feel tired ,no need to dress up or wait for the bus. You can shop in the air-conditioned room of your house, sitting on your bed with a lot of crispies and juice around. Everything can be bought with a touch of the keys. As easy as that. The way they have invaded our lives is very surprising. They have beautiful pictures of the product. They have everything you think of except parents, grandparents and children. There they have a beautiful catch, shipment free. Thats enough to hook us. Then there is another trap if the cost of the product exceeds a certain amount you get a free surprise gift.  That rules you. You fall for it both eyes open even before you realise like a boy who falls for a beautiful girl who gifts him a small smile.</p>
<p> Once I was just browsing one site which offered a lot of gold studs and chains. As I wanted to gift my daughter on her birthday, I decided to send one of those beautiful studs which kept tempting me with beautiful designs. There was an enlarged view of this stud and looked perfect. Giving the address and paying the amount with a tap in the key and pat on my back (as it was my maiden purchase online), I waited for my daughter to call me. The product reached her in time and my daughter too loved it (she did not want to disappoint me) Only when I saw the stud did I notice that it was very small, smaller than what I thought it will look on seeing the photo. It will look great on a one year old not on a college girl. The picture misled me.</p>
<p> There was another occasion when I paid the money for a pearl string which I wanted to gift my sister. It did not reach even after the scheduled time. So I called the helpline who could not help me much as usual. Then I asked them to return the money which too they did not. As it was a STD call I spent more than the amount I paid for the pearl. So I gave up. The other time while buying books online I got so attracted by the review and ordered later to be disappointed.</p>
<p> When we go shopping in person, we can see its worth and decide. When amount is paid in cash you get a pinch making you think before buying things which looks essential but aren’t. We become an addict to this online shopping. We buy whatever we see and half the things go waste and does not work as it’s expected to. There is a good friend of mine who loves shopping online. He even buys slippers online. His beautiful new bride commented that he could have shopped for a bride too online&#8230;..I don’t think those days are far off.</p>
<p> I am not against online shopping. It has its own merits but one needs to have control on what to buy. I read somewhere that vegetables and fruits too can be shopped online. So we just sit before the computer tapping the keys giving work only to our fingers. We gain weight while our bank balance turns slim. The credit card companies enjoy. To reduce weight too we order gym tools online. What a beautiful way to shop&#8230;.Coming with me? What is the site you <a href="http://www.vintimile.com" target="_blank">visit to shop</a>? Ohhh mine is awesome offers a lot of gifts <img src='http://s0.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p> I recommend shopping on <a href="http://www.vintimile.com/">http://www.vintimile.com</a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Date: 4-5 December 2009 (with associated activities on 6 December)<br />
Location: University of Manchester</p>
<p>*** REGISTRATION NOW OPEN ***</p>
<p>Keynote Speakers:<br />
Dr. Anne-Marie Fortier (Lancaster University)<br />
Prof. Gabriele Griffin (University of York)<br />
Dr. Amrit Wilson (Royal Holloway)</p>
<p>Register by Oct 23 for Early Bird discount.  Scroll down to the bottom of the page to download the registration form and information about accommodation.</p>
<p>Drawing on the impact of postcolonial feminism and its enactments, this conference will examine how women are affected by political systems in a global climate, how feminism translates and moves across borders, and how feminism can be utilised as a methodology for understanding the transnational context.</p>
<p>Here the transnational is understood to be a complication of notions of the &#8216;elsewhere&#8217;, highlighting the challenges of fluidity, movement and instability whilst also paying close attention to locatedness. This is a feminism that is engaged with the woman-as-subject without making universalising claims regarding women&#8217;s experience; it both considers how gender operates and critiques categorisation.          The aim of the conference is to share research on transnational feminisms between students, academics, artists and activists and to promote discussion on these themes and on future strategies/ research. An important element of the conference is that it involves participants and as such there will be workshops, a history walk and ample opportunity for debate.</p>
<p>Plus:<br />
Exhibitions, Film Screenings, History Walk, Performance Evening and Workshops<br />
Including Outwrite Magazine, Suzie &#8216;Ze&#8217; Martins, Yalini Dream, &#8216;Abortion Democracy&#8217; (Sarah<br />
Diehl), &#8216;Performing the Border&#8217; (Ursula Biemann), Dominique Tessier, Women Asylum<br />
Seekers Together, and more&#8230;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Date:</strong> Friday 30th October 2009<br />
<strong>Time:</strong> 10am to 4.30pm<br />
<strong>Address</strong>: womenintechnology offices, 114 Middlesex Street, London, E1 7JH<br />
<strong>Cost:</strong> £213 + VAT (This price includes a copy of the book &#8216;Beyond the Boys Club&#8217;).</p>
<p>The most successful women working in male-dominated fields know that you can&#8217;t win the game if you&#8217;re not willing to play the game. These same women understand that the best way to change the game &#8211; and make it work for them &#8211; is as a key player, not as an outsider.</p>
<p>In this daytime workshop, Beyond the Boys’ Club author and executive coach, Dr. Suzanne Doyle-Morris will take a interactive approach to look at how career progression, especially in male dominated fields, is a blend of aptitude and attitude, manoeuvrability, understanding office politics, coupled with self awareness and confidence. Women who get ahead are those who make key decision makers aware of their wins. When you work with men you have to learn how to play the game and get comfortable raising your profile the way they do.  We need to learn how to play with the boys in order to move beyond the boys club.  We should take the best of what they can teach us whilst maintaining a sense of our own integrity, individuality and independence.</p>
<p>This course will help you:<br />
• Develop self-promotion skills to increase professional visibility.<br />
• Identify strategies for career enhancement according to your values and current options.<br />
• Improve ability to influence others and develop effective relationships.<br />
• Increase visibility for achievements in ways that are individually authentic</p>
<p>If you would like more information please go to: www.womenintechnology.co.uk/proactively-polishing-your-profile where you can also download the booking form.</p>
<p>If you are interested in attending this course or have any questions, please contact Sarah Lilley at slilley@womenin.co.uk or on 020 7422 9213 &#8211; many thanks!</p>

<p>Many women come to the UK, often legally, in the hope of improving their lives. They may come on temporary work permits, student visas or spousal visas. Some women come to the UK to marry. The &#8216;no recourse to public funds&#8217; rule says that a woman in this position &#8211; even if she&#8217;s married to a British citizen &#8211; is not entitled to certain state benefits, including housing benefit and income support.</p>
<p>But these are the benefits a woman must be able to claim to get a place in a refuge if she needs to escape violence. As a result, many newly-married women in the UK are trapped in violent marriages and even if they do muster the courage to seek help from the authorities, they are simply turned away.</p>
<p>The UK government has taken significant steps to address violence against women &#8211; particularly domestic violence. In its paper on domestic violence &#8216;Safety and Justice&#8217;, the Home Office recognised that support and accommodation to victims of domestic violence was &#8216;life saving and critical&#8217;.  So the UK government knows it is in the wrong when it fails to protect women arriving in the UK</p>
<p>We believe that the government position puts the UK in breach of international human rights standards to which it has signed up. The Convention on the Elimination of all forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW) says clearly that states must respect, protect and fulfil all women&#8217;s human rights, regardless of immigration status or any other factor.</p>
<p><strong>What are we doing about this?</strong></p>
<p>Amnesty International UK has joined its voice with the voices of these women, the refuge workers and the many black and minority ethnic women&#8217;s groups who have been campaigning and lobbying for years on this subject. We are all calling on the UK government to:</p>
<ul>
<li>Allow refuges the funds they need to protection from violence to all<br />
women suffering abuse.</li>
<li>Provide for an exemption to the &#8216;no recourse&#8217; rule to ensure women<br />
are not forced to remain with a violent partner.</li>
<li>Develop an integrated strategy for violence against women so as to<br />
minimise the chance of policy contradictions undermining women&#8217;s<br />
rights.</li>
</ul>
