The PAN E-Commerce Mall was showcased as an "E-Mall with a difference". It is where a group of 18 development organizations from 8 Asian countries are participating in the design and development of a shared platform for setting up their shops, so that customers may buy from across shops in different countries, across multiple categories of products (books, handicraft, videos) and end up with only one check-out point. … PAN e-commerce partners are experimenting with their new role as "merchants" just like in the business world. As they make the transition from traditional ways of disseminating their intellectual outputs to maintaining online stores, they are managing change by reorganizing institutional resources and developing their ICT skills. For them, E-commerce becomes real with the thrill of seeing customers' orders in their mail boxes, and when they receive a cheque from PAN for their sales proceeds.

Access to research and scholarship is one of the critical development issues in overcoming the often-noted "knowledge gap." While the digital divide is being addressed at a number of levels with the spread of infrastructure, there needs to follow with no less concern the development of systems that increase the global circulation of knowledge, and that contribute to the development of local and national research capacities. Critical to the development of those capacities is the accessibility of research and scholarship. This proposed project is intended to improve the accessibility of scientific literature published in Indian journals by introducing an indexing system. This collaboration builds on the development of the UBC Public Knowledge Project's Open Journals Systems (OJS) which manages and publishes peer-reviewed journals….

Sean D'Souza is the driving force behind "PsychoTactics", and an expert on using an understanding psychology to dramatically increase sales. 15+ years ago, he joined Leo Burnett one of the world's largest ad agencies. The skills he learnt took Sean on the heady road of copywriting, writing TV commercials (and how to do them in 5 seconds), graphic design, cartoons and web design. The underlying synchronicity was the constant search to find ways to communicate in the simplest, most effective manner.

There’s just no other way to say it. Right now, many freelance writers are treading water, wondering where their next assignment will come from. Fortunately, I manage to stay pretty busy as a freelance writer. To be fair, I’ve been doing it since 1993, so I’ve weathered the ups and downs of the freelance writing life in most every type of economy.
