Bryan Denton for The New York Times

From an interactive, “Syria After Four Years of Mayhem,” the caption reads, “A Syrian Kurdish woman waited with her children to be taken to a shelter in Turkey, after fleeing Kobani, a Kurdish town, last September.” The war has displaced 7.6 million people inside Syria and pushed 3.9 million more — half of them children — to seek refuge in other countries, according to figures collected by United Nations agencies.

About 5.6 million children inside Syria are enduring hardships that include poverty, displacement and the dangers of living in conflict zones, according to figures from Unicef.

"Fragile" ( STING)

If blood will flow when flesh and steel are one
Drying in the colour of the evening sun
Tomorrow's rain will wash the stains away
But something in our minds will always stay
Perhaps this final act was meant
To clinch a lifetime's argument
That nothing comes from violence and nothing ever could
For all those born beneath an angry star
Lest we forget how fragile we are

On and on the rain will fall
Like tears from a star like tears from a star
On and on the rain will say
How fragile we are how fragile we are

On and on the rain will fall
Like tears from a star like tears from a star
On and on the rain will say
How fragile we are how fragile we are
How fragile we are how fragile we are

"The documentary “India’s Daughter,” by the British filmmaker Leslee Udwin, recounts the infamous and brutal rape and murder of a young woman on a bus in Delhi in 2012, an incident that sparked protests and spurred a national conversation about women’s rights and safety. The film was scheduled to be broadcast on the BBC in India this weekend, but a last-minute intervention by the Indian government banned its release."

How an Ad Campaign Invented the Diamond Engagement Ring

A 1960 De Beers ad in Reader's Digest (SensaiAlan/Flickr)

"Diamonds Are A Girl's Best Friend"

A kiss on the hand may be quite continental
But diamonds are a girl's best friend
A kiss may be grand but it won't pay the rental
On your humble flat or help you at the automat

Men grow cold as girls grow old
We all lose our charm in the end
But square cut or pear shape
These rocks don't lose their shape

Diamonds are a girl's best friend
Yeah diamonds are a girl's best friend
Let's rock

There may come a time when a lass needs a lawyer
Diamonds are a girl's best friend
There may come a time when a hardboiled employer
Thinks you're awful nice, but get that ice or else no dice

He's your guy when stocks are high
But beware when they start to descend
It's then that those spouses
And diamonds are a girl's best friend

Diamonds are a girl's best friend
Yeah diamonds are a girl's best friend
Let's rock again

Diamonds are a girl's best friend
Diamonds are a girl's best friend
Diamonds are a girl's best friend
Diamonds are a girl's best friend

Which leads me to Breakfast at Tiffany's:

"I don't want to own anything until I know I've found the place where me and things belong together. I'm not quite sure where that is just yet. But I know what it's like.... It's like Tiffany's.... Not that I give a hoot about jewelry. Diamonds, yes. But it's tacky to wear diamonds before you're forty... "

~Truman Capote, Breakfast at Tiffany's, 1958, spoken by the character Holly Golightly

EMMA WATSON'S SPEECH ON GENDER EQUALITY

Par anglais03 le 24 Janvier 2015 à 09:55

Emma Watson a délivré un nouveau discours sur l'égalité des sexes. L'actrice britannique a profité du forum de Davos vendredi 23 janvier pour reprendre les thèmes abordés lors de sa précédente intervention à l'ONU peu après avoir été nommée ambassadrice des Nations Unies.

À côté de Ban Ki-moon, Emma Watson a par exemple insisté sur une prise de conscience tangible: "je suis convaincue qu'il n'y a jamais eu de plus grande compréhension aujourd'hui sur la place des femmes."
