Occasional Paper 10: Feminist Economics of Trade: Reflections on the Indian Manufacturing Sector | Focus on the Global South. Using case studies from the manufacturing sector in India this paper aims to provide an understanding of the theoretical framework proposed by feminist economists on the process of economic liberalisation. By situating the effects of economic liberalisation on women and men vis-a-vis the linkages between patriarchy and political economy, this paper attempts to establish the point that if it is accepted that economic policies and consequently economic liberalisation affect sets of actors differently - women and men, upper and lower castes, religious minorities and majorities; and it is also accepted that such unequal impacts are due to unequal power relations, then the theoretical framework of analysis which is used for understanding the political economy and framing economic policies needs to capture and understand these inequalities and power relations.

We’ve spoken about the tracking that happens in the background while you are surfing the web a couple of times this year.

The most recent incident, involving the sites of the US presidential candidates has brought the issue back into stark relief. For many this has no relevance as it happens “secretly”; you don’t even know about it. Having worked for an online advertising company in the past, I was amazed to learn what actually can be done with Adware, spyware, malware and the rest of the “ware’s”. In some cases it almost seemed criminal. Tracking software is basically used to track what a specific user is doing on the web. While most of this tracking is quite harmless, it does pose the question of how private our lives really are. While it is impossible to completely avoid this type of tracking and the ads that come with it, you can reduce them significantly in various ways.

For many young entrepreneurs, landing startup funding is next to impossible. Banks won’t generally look at you unless you have two years of financials, and investors want to see serious traction before they’ll sign on. So what’s a young trep to do? Enter, crowdfunding.

Traditionally, donation based platforms like Kickstarter allow entrepreneurs to appeal to people at large for the capital necessary to start a project or product. In return, funders often receive tangible rewards like a T-shirt, product sample or VIP status. That model is set to change, however. Last year, the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act, or JOBS Act, became the law of the land. Though the law hasn’t yet kicked in, to the chagrin of many in the crowdfunding community, getting familiar with the JOBS Act now is something all entrepreneurs should do. 1.

New Features of Excel 2013 By Sean Vincent, 8 Mar 13 Dual Screen Use One of the simplest updates to Excel in the latest version is the ability to now have 2 separate Workbooks open on shared screens.

This allows much greater flexibility in the work environment. Rather than having to Tab between workbooks (potentially causing a headache from slipping screens over and over) in order to (e.g.) compare data, providing you have a dual screen set up, you can now have both Workbooks open simultaneously. Along with the new dual screen feature, Excel 2013 allows the user to open two separate Workbook files and copy and paste formulae and formats between them. SkyDrive Microsoft has developed their own Excel “Cloud” server which a user can save their Excel (and other related Office programs) into the Cloud.

The Ph.D Bust: America's Awful Market for Young Scientistsin 7 Charts - Jordan Weissmann. Politicians and businessmen are fond of talking about America's scientist shortage -- the dearth of engineering and lab talent that will inevitably leave us sputtering in the global economy. But perhaps it's time they start talking about our scientist surplus instead. I am by no means the first person to make this point. But I was compelled to try and illustrate it after reading a report from Inside Higher Ed on this weekend's gloomy gathering of the American Association for the Advancement of Science.

In short, job prospects for young science Ph.D.'s haven't been looking so hot these last few years, not only in the life sciences, which have been weak for some time, but also in fields like engineering. The graphs below, drawn from National Science Foundation data and some of my own calculations, depict Ph.D. employment at graduation. First, the big picture. The pattern reaching back to 2001 is clear -- fewer jobs, more unemployment, and more post-doc work -- especially in the sciences.

You are four easy steps away from a beautifully organized kitchen, a flawless grocery list and meal planning that fits your lifestyle like a glove. x. Poll: Consumers divided on plastic bag ban. With the California Senate getting ready for a vote on AB 1998, which would outlaw the use of plastic bags in retail stores, we surveyed our consumer advisory panel — and the results are nearly evenly divided.

We asked 270 consumers at random, "Are you in favor of a ban on plastic bags at retail stores? " and 53 percent said they were not. Selected feedback from poll respondents: "If reused, disposed of properly or recycled, there is nothing wrong with plastic bags and they are more sanitary to use than reusable bags at grocery stores if the reusable bags are not kept clean (leaking meat juices...contaminating fresh produce etc.). " "I live in El Paso, Texas and the joke in our beautiful city is 'What is El Paso's flag?
