Introduction: SEWA is a trade union registered in 1972. It is an organisation of poor, self-employed women workers. These are women who earn a living through their own labour or small businesses. They do not obtain regular salaried employment with welfare benefits like workers in the organised sector. They are the unprotected labour force of our country. Constituting 93% of the labour force, these are workers of the unorganised sector. Of the female labour force in India, more than 94% are in the unorganised sector. However their work is not counted and hence re-mains invisible. In fact, women workers themselves remain uncounted, undercounted and invisible.

The World Wide Web Virtual Library

Updated 2010-04-02: World Wide Web Virtual Library.

The WWW Virtual Library VL is the oldest catalogue of the Web, started by Tim Berners-Lee, the creator of HTML and of the Web itself, in 1991 at CERN in Geneva.

About: Unlike commercial catalogues, it is run by a loose confederation of volunteers, who compile pages of key links for particular areas in which they are expert; even though it isn’t the biggest index of the Web, the VL pages are widely recognised as being amongst the highest-quality guides to particular sections of the Web.

Where is it? Individual indexes live on hundreds of different servers around the world. A set of catalogue pages linking these pages is maintained at http://vlib.org/. A mirror of the Catalog is kept at East Anglia (UK). The catalogue pages started life on the original web server at CERN, and have been hosted at various locations around the World since then. They moved to a new server in Geneva in 2004, not many kilometres from their first location.

Who runs it: Each maintainer is responsible for the content of their own pages, as long as they follow certain guidelines. The central Catalog pages are maintained by the Council of the VL.

journée mondiale de l’alimentation:

Chaque année, le 16 octobre, l’Organisation des Nations Unies pour l’alimentation et l’agriculture célèbre la Journée mondiale de l’alimentation, qui commémore la date de sa création, en 1945. Le thème retenu pour la Journée mondiale de l’alimentation et le TeleFood en 2006, est « Investir dans l’agriculture pour la sécurité alimentaire ».

Même si l’agriculture est aujourd’hui un secteur économique secondaire dans de nombreux pays industrialisés, elle doit jouer un rôle de premier plan sur la scène internationale si l’on veut que la faim ne soit plus qu’un mauvais souvenir.
