The briefing paper from Oxfam examines economic inequality and asks for a more humane system of economics. It concentrates particularly on how big businesses and the ultra-wealthy are fueling the inequality crisis and what may be done to change this. It examines the misconceptions that have brought us to this point and demonstrate how we may build a more just society based on an economy that puts people before profit and gives priority to the most vulnerable. The Oxfam report "An Economy for the 99%" made headlines worldwide just in time for the 2017 World Economic Forum to begin in Davos: According to recent estimates, eight persons hold as much wealth as the poorest half of the world's population. However, there must be a conversation that goes beyond this number and considers how to successfully combat inequality and advance SDG 10.

This one is thanks to my gay friends who have been urging me to try something new. They always said, why would it not be fun for you, we all are males after all. I used www.esmale.com on their recommendation to get some of my items. Whilst the cat is away…. With my partner away for a few days at a conference, I was keen to try out the male insertable I’d received as a funny present in last year’s work secret Santa. I’m not the sort of guy to do things by halves and so with a Thursday night to myself and no distractions I wanted to make sure I made the most of it. I was recommended spunk lube which arrived the day after ordering and so did the Liquid gold poppers from www.poppersupershop.com.  Being a total beginner at male toys I thought it could take me a while and I didn’t want to lose my hardon so the Gold Max Blue pills worked wonders for keeping me horny throughout the evening.  I wanted to experience what my gay mates have been raving about for so long. Had they known something I

Another season of Copenhagen Fashion Week has officially come to an end, and it seems that everyone feels newsworthy in this city.

Singapore repealed its controversial colonial-era law banning gay sex, but will not let go of its conservative values. Singapore has also added legal protection to its definition of marriage as being between one man and one woman. Section 377A penal code had previously threatened men with two years in jail if caught in “any act of gross indecency”, especially referring to any homosexual act. Gay sex or gay marriage should be legalized now as sexuality has no limitation when two straight people are accepted in society in the same way same-sex marriages should also be included in the marriage institution.

Britain's universities are denying workers a pay rise while earmarking the billions their hard work has generated on needless vanity projects as charged by University and College Union. Vice-chancellors have confirmed that they are planning what the union says is an "inconceivable and insulting" 36 percent increase in overall capital. Carl Jung, the great psycho-analyst of 19 century once said, "wholeness is not achieved by cutting off a portion of one's being, but by integrating of the contraries". Equality and equity are deserved by all in this world, people who lack something should not be cut off instead they need to be included.
