This is a short piece in general response to queries received regarding the setting up of sites on existing available free open software systems. There are many women's groups currently developing tech and doing road shows for women who wish to focus their community voices onto IMC type systems. This is in response to a developing awareness of a need within women's political communities for 'a room of one's own' to work on issues and themes that never quite make the radar. read full story / add a comment

In January’s Finance Bill VAT on condoms was lowered slightly from 21% to 13.5%. Any reduction should be welcomed, the crucial question is why, given the problems with STIs, is there VAT on condoms, or indeed why are they not free? read full story / add a comment

Mahesh Prasad Varma (Srivastava) died on February 5, 2008, at approximately 7:00 p.m. less than month after he retired from public life on the 11th of January 2008. He shall be remembered for being the first eastern guru to embrace pop culture in the form of "The Beatles" & extended sitar lessons to George Harrison. His influence on western culture can not be underestimated. Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, spiritual leader and businessman, is thought to have been born on January 12 1917. He died on February 5, 2008, aged about 91. He invented TM or "transcendental meditation" & founded the "natural law party" famous for its regular demonstrations of yogic flying. His organisation spanned the globe & its real estate holdings include islands in Ireland. The Beatles made him famous, "The Doors" first met at one of his gigs. NASA sent the Beatles' song "Across the Universe" into space the same day he died. We hopefully will not see his like again. read full story / add a comment

"......The British Ministry of Defence says it will abandon deep-diving experiments which involve inducing decompression sickness in live goats. The animals were used to see what the likely risk of "the bends" would be following escape from a submarine at varying depths under water. The information would help crews judge whether it would be safer to abandon a stricken vessel or wait to be rescued. Animal rights campaigners say the move will "end decades of animal suffering". More than 400 such experiments have taken place since 2000. However, the tests were suspended in March 2007 while a review committee of six experts examined alternative methods, such as computer-modelling techniques to simulate the effects of the "bends". Now the UK MoD says there is no further need for the animal testing......." read full story / add a comment

http://www.wsws.org/articles/2008/feb2008/spai-f06.shtml The first abortion rights issue that I was involved in was a press-statement forwarded by some polish activists who asked for dissemination of a petition to do with an amalgamation of three far right parties which included the LPR, PiS and another group. They had hoped to change the Polish constitution (article 38) to 'protect life from the moment of conception'. During the ensuing parliamentary debate and rucus, the tri-partite union who had attempted to force the issue down throats split ;and Poland was found in breach of Human Rights Articles in relation to the Alicia Tysiac case. read full story / add a comment

The Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI) has long been on of the most trustworthy & respected research resources for people who like to count Scud missiles & stuff like that. In addition to "stuff like that", they do pretty good analysis too & not for nothing have they been ranked in the top 30 most influential think-tank entities on the planet. But most people who use this site don't pay attention to think-tanks & probably wouldn't even notice if they were floating like Tom Cruise in a tank having a think about how bad & evil the arms trade is for the good reason they didn't get the right degrees or recruited by the appropriate sort of shadowy agencies in their youth. Thankfully SIPRI has now decided to offer a lot of its information not only for free, but in a format & language. In short - (for I know no other way) I introduce you to the website " Armsflow ". read full story / add a comment |
