Dozens of demonstrators demanding a more inclusive church listen on May 3 as Bishop Rosemarie Wenner (seen on the monitor behind them) tells them that the bishops of The United Methodist Church feel their pain. Their protest, at the 2012 General Conference in Tampa, Fla., came as a result of the stance on homosexuality taken by the legislative body. The demonstrators held Communion around the center table and sang songs, causing the presiding bishop to recess the morning session. The demonstrators left at the beginning of the afternoon session after discussion with several bishops and Wenner's statement to the entire conference. A UMNS photo by Paul Jeffrey.

Female labour force participation in India is not only low but has declined over the last decade or so. Women’s labour force participation has implications for their economic empowerment and, ultimately, efforts to promote inclusive growth and achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). It is, thus, a priority for policymakers and stakeholders to take a comprehensive view to improve labour market outcomes for women.
On March 1, the International Labour Organization (ILO) and the Feminist Economist Saturday Discussion Group (FESDIG) brings together a rich panel discussion on India’s low female labour force participation. Dignitaries speaking at the event are M. Sathiyavathy, Secretary, Ministry of Labour and Employment and Amitabh Kant, CEO, Niti Aayog. The panel will be chaired by Prof Bina Agarwal, University of Manchester and will comprise of Prof Preet Rustagi, Institute for Human Development (IHD), Prof Santosh Mehrotra, Centre for Informal Sector and Labour Studies, Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) and Dr Ratna Sudarshan, Institute of Social Studies Trust, (ISST).
‘Transformation of Women at Work in Asia – An Unfinished Development Agenda’, an ILO-SAGE book, edited by Sukti Dasgupta and Sher Verick, will also be launched. It will be followed by a book discussion that will be chaired by Dr Sunita Sanghi, Adviser, NITI Aayog.
Based on original comparative research and extensive fieldwork, the book illustrates how the labour force participation of women in a number of countries in South Asia has either remained stagnant or has fallen. In East Asia the participation has declined from 70.8 per cent in 1994 to 63.3 per cent in 2014, and in South Asia it has fallen from 36.4 to 30.6 per cent over the same period. Gender gaps in labour force participation have been highest in South Asia. Findings show that women across the continent have contributed significantly to its spectacular growth story; yet, social norms and economic factors limit their levels of participation.

The Challenge:
The challenge for the WEB EXOTIQE COLLECTION was to create a collection based on basic principles of minimalism. The designs for this collection must have a futuristic yet wearable appeal and only the use of Eco-conscious (materials that are directly from/ or easy on the environment) materials. The use of the colors (BLUE), which represents coolness and fluidity (GREEN) which represents wealth, as well as taking our wealth to improve our environment , lastly the shade (black) or the tint (white). The collection must have a message that relates to the current human condition. In this particular challenge black was chosen to represent depth as well as a timeless all inclusive beauty, after all Black is a mixture of all of the colors on the color wheel created to make one.
The-concept:
An Eco- conscious ready to wear collection with an artistic flair that juxtapositions sensuality and sexuality to celebrate the female body in a tasteful manner while asking the question what does the future hold? This collection was executed with the use of Beachwood Pulp, Cotton and Squid Ink.
The Execution (Artist Statement)
The lack of a full creative team forced the designer to have to search high and low for inspiration, recently moving back to Baltimore , since the designers usual Palm Beach sources of inspiration were not readily available to him; so for the first time Carlous went out into the world and studied the people around him, he noticed groups of people doing various activities together ,hence the use of (Black) , a shade that cannot be accomplished without the use of all of the colors in the color spectrum; also black is a shade that represents mystery and intrigue. The designer also asked several women who have a very distinct sense of style and whom the artist believes are some of the best dressed women in Baltimore. Out of the five that were asked all except one said, CORAL. Carlous immediately knew that he had limitations of utilizing Blue ,green and black, so his solution was to add the color coral by way of jewelry and makeup, lastly The designer needed architectural inspiration, because for those of you, who are familiar with his work, understand that his design aesthetic derives from the use of simple geometric shapes that work cohesively to create interesting fashion when worn by the human figure. Mr Palmer’s immediate choice of Architectural inspiration was the Earl S. Richardson Library at Morgan University; the staircase is a fashion gem which not many of us notice, but will soon be noted for being one of Baltimore’s new architectural marvels. The Bugatti Veyron was the engineering inspiration, its sleek modern design can only inspire. I hope that you all enjoy the collection available on the east coast at KATWALK and coming soon to retailers in Los Angeles and Hawaii.
About the Photography
Creating a collection takes a lot of work and energy, bringing the clothes to life, is a job that only great photographers can do. This collection is the first collection that Carlous created in Baltimore City in over ten years. He spent months looking for a photographer that not only had integrity and the ability to work with some of outlandish ideas, but a photographer that can turn his concepts into dynamic eye catching works of art that are meant to inspire. Although, he has worked with many photographers over the years, the designer decided to work with someone that he was unfamiliar with; in his search he found the most amazing photographer. The photographer Mark Moyer is a graduate of Towson State University, also a full service photography business in the city of Baltimore, Maryland. This collection would not have its amazing appeal without the powerful images that this two photographer has created it is encouraged that you to visit the Photographers website to see how you can have your own beautiful images created, www.moyerphotography.com.
About the Location
For over 140 years, Morgan State University has been an important part of the higher education system in Baltimore City, the State of Maryland, and the nation. Throughout its history, Morgan has served the community with distinction while meeting the educational needs of an increasingly diverse society. Its designation as Maryland's Public Urban University assures that Morgan will continue to play a prominent role in Maryland's education future. (MSU . 2011. Web. 2012). The reason for utilizing the Earl S. Richardson Library at Morgan State University my choice to shoot this collection at the University is due to my strong ties to the university. The inspiration that the library gives me is unmatched by any inspiration that I have ever had. I hope to draw attention to the University’s magnificent beauty in hopes that others will be as inspired as I have been.

One of the most frequent questions asked by advocates and industry alike is “what is the value of the inclusive tourism market?”. There are surprisingly few studies that have examined this question. Below is an updated extract from an article that presents a summary economic estimate studies (Darcy & Dickson, 2009).

This squirrel is less lazy than the squirrel in the other picture, and has climbed up to the second level of bird feeders. We have different bird seed in these feeders than we have in the church immediately below, and the birds seem to prefer this food. The squirrels aren't really picky.
You'll noticed this squirrel is brown, while the squirrel in the previous picture is gray. In our old neighborhoods either in the city or in Oak Park, the gray squirrels and the brown squirrels ran in different circles, and I frequently thought they were engaging in race wars. In Villa Park, the squirrels seem to have developed a culture of racial understanding and equity, so you frequently see them mingling. Our yard boasts a rainbow coalition of squirrels.
Villa Park squirrels are smarter than American humans.

We had our usual late winter holiday in Tenerife in April, unfortunately the weather wasn’t as good as we would have liked. Although I took quite a bit of camera gear with me I never really seemed in the mood for photography. We arrived on Friday afternoon, the motorway was blocked with accidents, much like the M62 on a Friday afternoon. Subsequently, for the first time I have known, there was a shortage of taxis at the airport. When we did get a taxi the driver took us an alternative route which was still busy but he got us to the hotel in good time. It was windy and not particularly warm in to the bargain. Things didn’t get any better on Saturday as the bathroom washbasin and marble surround smashed on to my bare foot. Although painful I was unmarked, the marble hit the floor at an angle so my foot didn’t take the full force. I could have lost some toes so I was lucky really. We reported it to reception and they assumed I was reporting a cracked basin, not a wrecked bathroom, when they saw the photograph on my phone they were very shocked and apologetic. We were upgraded to all inclusive, which wasn’t much use to us really. We then had to move rooms twice, which was a nuisance.
We had said we would hire a car for a change but in the end we followed our usual routine of a 12 mile walk in the morning in opposite directions on alternate days, a bit of bar, beach, reading and another few miles of walking before an early night. We were approaching Los Cristianos on Thursday morning when we saw what looked like smoke billowing up, it turned out to be dust. We carried on through Los Cristianos to Playa Arona and then headed back to Los Cristianos for a coffee. A helicopter started circling overhead and sirens were screaming, we assumed there had been an accident of some description. We then found our usual road through the town blocked by the police. Crowds were gathering, with people on their phones crying. The area was packed with emergency service vehicles and it was obviously a serious incident. A block of twenty apartments had collapsed, there was just a pile of rubble.
I felt guilty taking photos but I wasn’t intruding or in the way and most people had their phones out so I got the camera out. We stayed a while and the TV cameras arrived, they were still there on Sunday. Initially there were conflicting stories regarding victims, with three hurt and a varying number missing. In the end seven people died, with a day and night piece by piece rescue operation carried out until the final body was found later on Saturday. The building collapsed at around 9.30am – when most residents had left for school and work , the death toll could have been far higher. I passed the story and the photos to a paper back home, although they reported that there were only three hurt, they also wrote that Jayne and me are married – not for the first time – much to the amusement of friends at home. We called by the scene several times as it was on our regular route, in fact had it happened an hour later we could have been caught up in it as we regularly walked right by the affected building. It was rumoured locally that builders had recently been removing walls on the bottom floor and that they had been stopped due to cracks appearing. We were back in Los Cristianos on Sunday and in the square a 100 yards or so from the collapsed building there was a big gathering taking place with TV crews and reporters everywhere. We hung about and ended up being part of a memorial service with local dignitaries and distraught relatives of the victims on stage in front of the cameras. We felt odd being there as tourists but we also felt as though we had a sort of closure to the episode. The whole thing was overshadowed in world news by major earthquakes elsewhere in the world and the rescue operation was largely ignored in the British press.
We walked over 150 miles, it seems to be our average for our ten day ‘relaxing’ break in the sun. Five out of ten days we had good weather, photographically, I didn’t achieve much really.
Ironically, I regularly question the quality of local buildings and what appear to be illegal extensions built precariously on rooftops or one the side of apartments. It’s an education to walk around the backs of the white fronted buildings on the hill overlooking Los Cristianos, also quite scary.
