As hundreds of nations across the globe celebrate World Press Freedom Day today, gender equality and media safety, particularly in a digital age, have been placed high on the list of priorities as the day is observed.The University of Guyana Communication Studies Department during a previous observance of World Press Freedom Day.Celebrated each year on May 3, World Press Freedom Day will be observed this year under the theme ‘Let Journalism Thrive! Towards Better Reporting, Gender Equality, & Media Safety in the Digital Age.’According to a joint statement issued from the UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, UNESCO Director-General Irina Bokova and UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Zeid Ra’ad Al Hussein, human rights must be respected for peace to be lasting and sustainable development.The officials also made a call for more voices to speak out and be heard, particularly those of women.“Twenty years after the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action, women remain underrepresented throughout the media at decision-making level but also in the coverage of issues. We cannot let this stand; men and women must participate equally in making and sharing the news,” the officials emphasised.Worldwide, only 26 percent of women hold positions in media governance.“Everyone must be free to seek, receive and impart knowledge and information on all media, online and offline,” the statement read. It went on, “Quality journalism enables citizens to make informed decisions about their society’s development. It also works to expose injustice,China Jerseys, corruption and the abuse of power.”According to the officials, at least one journalist is killed each week in conflict and non-conflict zones. Deeming the killings as “horrendous attacks”, the joint statement continued, “We must redouble efforts to enhance the safety of journalists and put an end to impunity.”Meanwhile, though the official observance is today, the United Nations on Friday commemorated the day with a moment of silence for journalists killed in the line of duty.During discussions, the importance of greater gender equality in the media and the safety of journalists in the digital age where protection from surveillance is becoming increasingly important were listed as paramount target areas.During his remarks, General Assembly President Sam Kutesa said that 22 years after the day was established, delegations still gathered to express their utmost respect to the many courageous men and women who brave hazardous terrain and dangerous environments to tell the important stories the world needs to hear.“These men and women go about their critical work in often inhospitable environments. From the comfort and safety of our homes and workplaces, we can learn about important issues around the world, including some dark and troubling events,” he said. Kutesa also stressed that journalists bridged the information gap and, through their work, people are able to learn about discoveries and innovations shaping the world.“Without them, we would have difficulty knowing about positive developments in the furthest corners of the world. In the same way, we would never hear the cries that are being silenced or the injustices being committed. We may never know of abuses being perpetrated, hostages being taken or lives brutally stolen,” Kutesa said.The Universal Declaration of Human Rights indicates that there is freedom for all to seek, receive and impart information, regardless of borders should not be tampered with.However, more than 40 journalists and media staff have already been killed around the world for 2015 while others are being held hostage or have simply disappeared.During the meeting, freedom of expression and press freedom were also noted as essential to success at every level as countries accelerate their efforts to achieve the Millennium Development Goals before the 2015 deadline.Every May 3, the world celebrates the fundamental principles of press freedom; to evaluate press freedom around the world, to defend the media from attacks on their independence and to pay tribute to journalists who have lost their lives in the exercise of their profession. World Press Freedom Day was proclaimed by the UN General Assembly in 1993.Like many other countries, Guyana observes World Press Freedom Day. However, improvements in the areas of freedom of information and press freedom are still needed here; the 2015 World Press Freedom Index showed that Guyana still remains a nation with “noticeable problems” with press freedom.作者: hmxiang1r 時間: 2018-10-1 09:30 標題: CG Miehet Calgary Parka 2369Naiset Apex Bionic TakkiCanada Goose Hybridge Lite J
er, “if you had had a brother like me, do you think you should have loved him as well as Tom?”
Maggie Canada Goose Yorkville Bomber started a little on being roused from her reverie, and said, “What?” Philip repeated his question.
“Oh, yes, better,” she answered immediately. “No, not better; because I don’t think I could love you Ralph Lauren better than Tom. But I Män Vattentät jackor should be so sorry — so sorry for you.”
Philip colored; he had meant to imply, would she love him as well in spite of his deformity, and yet when she alluded to it so plainly, Salomon Speedcross Kengät he winced under her pity. Maggie, young as she was, felt her mistake. Hitherto she had instinctively behaved as if she were quite unconscious of Philip’s deformity; her own keen sensitiveness and experience under family criticism sufficed to teach her this as well as if she had been directed by the most finished breeding.
“But you are so very clever, Philip, and you can play and sing,” she added quickly. “I wish you were my brother. I’m very fond Salomon Outban Low Women Kengät of you. And you would stay at Belstaff Staple Jackor home with me when Tom went out, and you would teach me everything; wouldn’t you — Greek and CG Naiset Whistler Parka everything?”
“But you’ll go away soon, and go to school, Maggie,” said Philip, “and then you’ll forget all about me, and not care for me any more. And then I shall see you when you’re grown up, and you’ll hardly take any notice of me.”
“Oh, no, I sha’n’t Parajumpers Herr forget you, I’m sure,” said Maggie, shaking her head very seriously. “I never forget anything, and I think Kvinnor Vaxade jackor about everybody when I’m away from them. I think about poor Yap; he’s got a lump in his throat, and Luke says he’ll die. Only don’t you tell Tom. because it will vex him so. You never saw Yap; he’s a queer little dog — nobody cares about him but Tom and me.”
“Do you care as much about me as Miehet Nike Free Run 2 you do about Yap, Maggie?” said Philip, smiling rather sadly.
“Oh, yes, I should think so,” said Maggie, laughing.
“I’m very fond of you, Maggie; I shall never forget you,” said Philip, “and when I’m very unhappy, I shall always think of you, and wish I had a sister with dark eyes, just like yours.”
“Why do you like my eyes?” said Maggie, well pleased. She had never heard any one but her father speak of her eyes as if they had merit.
“I don’t know,” said Philip. “They’re not like any other eyes. They seem trying to speak — trying to speak kindly. I don’t like other people to look at me much, but I like you to look at me, Maggie.”
“Why, I think you’re fonder of me than Tom is,” said Maggie, rather sorrowfully. Then, wondering how she could convince Philip that she could like him just as well, although he was crooked, she said:
“Should you like me to kiss you, as I do Tom? I will, if you like.”
“Yes, very much; nobody kisses me.”
Maggie put her arm round his neck Salomon Kalalau Kengät and kissed him quite earnestly.
“There now,” she said, “I shall always remember you, and kiss you when I see you Moncler Untuvatakki Miehet again, if it’s ever so long. But I’ll go now, because I think Mr.links:

t the comet is one of the planets, but that it Canada Goose Yorkville Bomber appears at great intervals of time and only rises a little above the horizon. This is the case with Mercury too; because it only rises a little above the horizon it often fails to be seen and consequently appears at great intervals North Face Footwear of time.
A Naiset Parajumpers Californian Joanna view like theirs was also expressed by Hippocrates of Chios and his pupil Aeschylus. Only they say that the tail does Belstaff New Albatros Jackor not belong to the comet iself, but is occasionally assumed by it on its course in certain situations, when our sight is reflected to the sun from the moisture attracted by the comet. It appears at greater intervals than the other stars because it is slowest to get clear of the sun and has been left behind by the sun to the extent of the whole of its circle before it reappears at the same point. It gets clear of the sun both towards the north and towards the south. In the space between the tropics it does not draw water to itself because that region is dried up by the sun on its course. When it moves towards the south it has no lack of the necessary moisture, but because the segment of its circle Salomon S-LAB Kengät which is above the horizon is small, and that below it many times as large, it is impossible for the sun to be reflected to our sight, either when it approaches the southern tropic, or at the summer solstice. Hence in these regions it does not develop a tail at all. But when it is visible in the north it assumes a tail because the arc above the horizon is large and that below it small. For under these circumstances there is nothing to prevent our vision from being reflected to the sun.
These views involve impossibilities, some of which are common to all of them, while others are peculiar to some only.
This is the case, first, with those who say that the comet is one of the planets. For all the planets appear in the circle of the zodiac, whereas many comets have been Ralph Lauren Pony Polos seen outside that circle. Again more comets than one have often appeared simultaneously. Besides, if their tail is due to reflection, as Aeschylus and Hippocrates say, this planet ought sometimes to be visible without a tail since, as they it does not possess a tail in every place in which it appears. But, as a matter of fact, no planet has been observed besides the five. And all of them are often visible above the horizon together at the same time. Further, comets are often found to appear, as well when all the planets are visible as when some are not, but are obscured by the neighbourhood of the sun. Moreover the statement that a comet only appears in the north, with the sun at the summer Naiset Cg Whistler Parka solstice, is not true either. The great comet which appeared at the time of the earthquake in Belstaff Dam Jackor Achaea and Parajumpers Miehet untuvaliivi the tidal wave rose due west; and many have been known to appear in the south. Ralph Lauren Tee Again in the CG Naiset Camp Hooded untuvatakki archonship of The North Face Naiset Denali Hoodies Euclees, son of Molon, at Athens there appeared a comet in the north in the month Gamelion, the sun being about the winter solstice. Yet they themselves admit that reflection over so great a space is an impossibility.
An objection that tells equally against those wholinks:
s, ranking as an officer among those picked men. His most discernible characteristic — particularly in his walk, his face, Naiset Apex Bionic Takki in the whole man, and which the Czar perceived at a glance — was, that he was “a fulfiller of orders.” He therefore possessed one of the most serviceable qualities in Russia — one which, as the celebrated novelist Tourgueneff says, “will lead to the highest positions in the Muscovite empire.”
In short, if anyone could accomplish this journey from Moscow to Irkutsk, across a rebellious country, surmount obstacles, and brave perils of Ralph Lauren Vest Sweaters all sorts, Michael Strogoff was the man.
A circumstance especially favorable to the success of his plan was, that he was thoroughly acquainted with the country which he was about Canada Goose Trillium Parka to traverse, and understood its different dialects — not only from having traveled there before, but because he was of Siberian origin.
His father — old Peter Strogoff, dead ten years since — inhabited the town of Omsk, situated in the government of the Canada Goose Hybridge Lite Jackor same name; and his mother, Ralph Lauren Kortärmade skjortor Marfa Strogoff, lived there still. There, amid the wild steppes Timberland Lapset Roll-Top Boots of the provinces of Omsk and Tobolsk, had the famous huntsman brought up his son Michael to endure hardship. Peter Strogoff was a huntsman by profession. Summer and winter — in the burning heat, as well as when the cold was sometimes fifty degrees below zero — he scoured the frozen plains, Moncler lapset pitkä untuvatakki the thickets of birch and larch, the pine forests; setting traps; watching for small game with his gun, and for large game with the spear or knife. The large game was nothing less than the Siberian bear, a formidable and ferocious animal, in size equaling its fellow of CG Naiset Resolute Parka the frozen seas. Peter Strogoff had killed more than thirty-nine bears — that is to say, the fortieth had fallen under his blows; and, according to Russian legends, most luxury boulder huntsmen who have Ralph Lauren Kortärmade skjortor been lucky enough up to the thirty-ninth bear, have succumbed to the fortieth.
Peter Strogoff had, however, passed the fatal number without even a scratch. From that time, his son Michael, aged eleven years, never failed to accompany him to the hunt, carrying the ragatina or spear to Naiset Nike Free 5.0 V3 aid his father, who was armed only with the knife. When he was fourteen, Michael Strogoff had killed his first bear, quite alone — that was nothing; but after stripping it he dragged the gigantic animal’s skin to his father’s house, many versts distant, exhibiting remarkable strength in a boy so Ralph Lauren Kvinnor young.
This style of life was of great benefit to him, and when he arrived at manhood he could bear any amount of cold, heat, hunger, thirst, or fatigue. Like the Yakout of the northern countries, he was made of iron. He could go four-and-twenty hours without eating, ten nights without sleeping, and could make himself a shelter in the open steppe where others would have been frozen to death. Gifted with marvelous acuteness, guided by the instinct of the Delaware of North America, over the white plain, when every object is hidden in mist, or even in higher latitudes, where the polar night is prolonged for many daylinks:
ather,” said she, blushing.
“Nadia,” said Captain Fedor, “it will be my joy to call you both my children!”
The marriage ceremony took place in Irkutsk cathedral.
Jolivet Timberland Miehet Roll-Top Boots and Blount very naturally assisted at this marriage, of which they wished to give an account to their readers.
“And doesn’t it make you wish to imitate them?” asked Alcide of his friend.
“Pooh!” said Blount. “Now if I had a cousin Canada Goose Hybridge Jackor like Canada Goose Tremblant Jackor you —”
“My cousin isn’t to be married!” answered Alcide, laughing.
“So much the better,” returned Blount, “for they speak of difficulties arising between London and Pekin. Have you no wish Belstaff Maldon Jackor to go and see what is going on there?”
“By Jove, my dear Blount!” exclaimed Alcide Jolivet, “I was just going to make the same proposal to you.”
And that was how the two inseparables set off for China.
A few days after the ceremony, Michael and Nadia Strogoff, accompanied by Wassili Fedor, took the route to Europe. The road so full of suffering when going, was a road of joy in returning. They traveled swiftly, in one of those sleighs which glide like an express train across the frozen steppes of Siberia.
However, when they reached the banks of the Dinka, just before Birskoe, they stopped for a while. Michael found the place where he had buried poor Nicholas. A cross was erected there, Belstaff New Toxic Blouson Jackor and Nadia prayed a last time on the grave of the humble and heroic friend, whom neither of them would ever forget.
At Omsk, old Marfa awaited them in Salomon S-Wind Pro Kengät the little house of the Strogoffs. She clasped passionately in her arms the girl whom in her heart she had already a hundred times called “daughter.” The brave old Siberian, on that day, had the right to recognize her son and say she Naiset Cg Montebello Parka was proud of him.
After a few days passed at Omsk, Michael and Nadia entered Europe, and, Wassili Fedor settling down in St. Petersburg, neither his son nor his daughter had any occasion to leave him, except to go and see their old mother.
The young courier was received by the Czar, who attached him specially to his own person, and gave him the Cross of St. George. Ralph Lauren Kortärmade skjortor In the course of time, Michael Strogoff reached a high station in the Empire. But it is not the history of his success, but the history of his trials, which deserves to be related.
The End
Chapter 1
In the course of an eventful Naiset Cg Expedition Parka life John Penaluna did three very rash things.
To begin with, at seventeen, he ran away to sea.
He had asked his father’s Canada Goose Victoria Parka permission. But for fifty years the small estate had been going from bad to worse. John’s grandfather in the piping days of agriculture had drunk the profits and mortgaged everything but the furniture. On his death, John’s father (who had enlisted in a line regiment) came home with a broken knee-pan and a motherless boy, and turned market-gardener in a desperate Ralph Lauren Barn attempt to rally the family fortunes. With capital he might have succeeded. But market-gardening required labour; and he could neither afford to hire The North Face Naiset takki it nor to spare the services of a growing lad who cost nothing but his keep. So Johlinks:
