What is Online Shopping?
Online shopping is the process consumers go through to purchase products or services over the Internet. An online shop, e-shop, e-store, Internet shop, webshop, online store, or virtual store evokes the physical analogy of buying products or services at a bricks-and-mortar retailer or in a shopping mall.
The metaphor of an online catalog is also used, by analogy with mail order catalogs. All types of stores have retail web sites, including those that do and do not also have physical storefronts and paper catalogs.

Have you witnessed the police crackdown on gangs?
Vancouver police chief Jim Chu and the RCMP announced the formation of a Violence Suppression Team on Nov. 7. (CBC) Police in the Lower Mainland have set up a new joint gang violence task force that aims to show a street-level presence and in-your-face style of patrolling where gangsters operate. Officers will wear special jackets to identify them as part of the team and will visit bars, nightclubs, restaurants and gyms frequented by known gang members. “We are merging our resources to create the largest street-level gang violence task force B.C. has ever seen,” Vancouver police Chief Jim Chu said. Full Story CBC News wants to hear your experience with this type of “in-your-face” policing. Have you seen police targeting people in bars, restaurants or gyms? Is that fair? Share your story below.

Is bullying a problem at your school?
Game Wu claims he was dragged to a bus stop near school and punched repeatedly after he couldn’t pay $6,000. (CBC) A 15-year-old teenager in Richmond, B.C., was allegedly swarmed and assaulted by six schoolmates after he was unable to fork out money demanded of him, said the teen. Two teenagers were arrested last Tuesday and four others were picked up the next day, Richmond RCMP Cpl. Nycki Basra said. They have all been released, police said, and charges are being considered. “The investigation is still continuing and we’re looking at charges of assault causing [bodily harm] as well as possibly extortion and possibly [uttering] threats,” Basra told CBC News Tuesday.

What do you think of this response from the CBSA?
Alain Jolicoeur, president of the CBSA, offers sincere and deepest sympathies to the family of Robert Dziekanski. (CBC) The Canada Border Services Agency will beef up patrols and have more security checks and cameras at Vancouver’s airport, says a report released Monday that gives a timeline of the night Robert Dziekanski died after he was shocked with an RCMP Taser on Oct. 14. The timeline traces the nine-hour period between Dziekanski’s arrival at the customs hall in the international terminal of Vancouver International Airport, and his death shortly after 1 a.m. PT the next morning. Based on the review, released in Vancouver, the CBSA said it would take several remedial actions: Along with other partners such as the Vancouver Airport Authority, it will review procedures on services provided for international travellers and those waiting to meet them. The CBSA will explore options to have more patrols and security checks within the agency’s area. More cameras will be installed to provide an expanded coverage of the CBSA’s area at the airport. Will update its list of employees who can speak languages other than English and French. Will also review its interpreter services to make sure that the services are provided as quickly as possible. The CBSA will review its procedure to ensure all people referred for further examinations report to the secondary examination areas within a reasonable amount of time. What do you think of these actions? Are they sufficient, or should the CBSA be doing something else?

Two young men in their 20s were found dead, slumped inside a silver Mercedes sports car with its engine still running and lights still on, in south Vancouver on Tuesday morning.

Cross-Border Improvisation
The Signal (10 p.m.) broadcasts music Wednesday night from the 2007 X Avant Festival at the Music Gallery in toronto. It’s cross-border improvisation, with New York saxophonist Rudresh Mahanthappa and toronto bassist Rich Brown. Rudresh incorporates the musical culture of his Indian ancestry (among myriad influences) into his music, and has so many musical ideas that he leads or co-leads seven, count ‘em seven groups. He’s been getting quite a bit of attention “stateside,” as they used to say — he was named “Rising Star” on alto by the Downbeat International Critics Poll for the past four years. And Rich, well, if you follow the Canadian music scene you’ll know his playing — he plays with Autorickshaw, has worked with artists from (formely) Jane Siberry to Steve Coleman — he’s a great bass player. Here’s a nice line from Rich: “I wanted to sing like Stevie, play like Miles, and phrase like Scofield and do it all on the same instrument.”
