Referred to as the "bible" of music journalism, Rolling Stone is one of the most respected media brands and distribution channels in the world. At the time of the launch of Rolling Stone India, the US edition had a cult following on the streets of the subcontinent with an under ground culture built upon the second-hand copies being passed around. As the Chief Creative Officer of JWT India at the time, Agnello Dias was the architect of the campaigns creative vision. Dias and his team -- working for the world's biggest advertising agency on the world's most famous music brand -- took a surprising approach. Inspired by the long standing heritage of Rolling Stone itself, his team looked to the traditional arts of India. As one of the most ancient civilizations in the world, the country has ...

Farmers livelihood was threatened further by the growing amount of livestock being eaten by snow leopards; predators were reportedly taking 12.4% of livestock, resulting in an annual loss of US$23,250. Retributive killing of snow leopards was rife. A need to curtail this killing sparked the inception of the Snow Leopard Conservancy India Trust, which led a series of brainstorming sessions with villagers, resulting in the idea that tourism could be a viable option to help supplement livelihoods. Building on local strengths villagers decided that a homestay program would be the best way to utilize their resources to earn an additional income.

Nicolas Sarkozy, President of France, managed to erase "free and undistorted competition" from the proposed new EU Treaty as a main aim of the European Union.

The view of competition and its effects among decision-makers is likely to affect numerous policy outcomes. Throughout history, there has been a struggle between freedom and control in Europe. Competition is the result of economic freedom and the absence of interventions in the economy by the state. And it has done very much indeed for Europe.

Poverty and severely limited means of generating income force many internally displaced women into abusive trades such as prostitution and trafficking. In internally displaced people camps in Uganda, for example, many girls and women engage in survival sex to obtain food or "transactional sex" in exchange for spending money or small objects. These women are given no opportunities to further their education, engage in businesses or develop self-respect. Women for Women International works to help women recover from the ravages of war and become active citizens by offering them direct aid, job training and microcredit loans. Ugandan-American Amber Chand is doing her bit to put war-affected women back to work and start their own businesses. She runs the US-based Amber Chand Collection, an ...
