The 2014 Trafficking in Persons Report placed Thailand in a group known as Tier Three. That is the lowest rating among 23 countries that U.S. officials say are not doing enough to stop modern slavery.
The report tells about the tens of thousands of migrants to Thailand. Many of these people are forced to work in Thailand’s fishing industry or the sex trade. The Tier Three listing opens up Thailand and others to possible American sanctions.
The State Department studied 188 countries, including the United States. The report is aimed at forcing governments to take steps to help the estimated 20 million victims of modern slavery.
Secretary of State John Kerry spoke to reporters in Washington last Friday. He called human trafficking one of the greatest threats to human dignity and freedom.
“It is a call to action to governments and citizens around the world to uncover modern slavery and hold it accountable, to identify the victims, to bring their abusers to justice. There cannot be impunity for those who traffic human beings. It must end.”
U.S. officials noted some hopeful news in the report this year. The State Department named 10 heroes in the effort to stop trafficking. They include Beatrice Jedy-Agba of Nigeria. She is the head of Nigeria’s National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking. Officials praised her efforts to help trafficking victims rejoin Nigerian society. They also praised her work with other nations to deal with trafficking in Africa.
“I made a connection with those victims that I met, and I thought I’m going to help them through this and I’m going to make sure nobody else has to go through this ever again.”
Secretary of State Kerry said he hopes more people and governments will answer his “call to action” – to fight what he calls the scourge of modern slavery. I’m Caty Weaver.

I always have a big not distant dream, that is to become a photographer. This dream is derived from a program on TV, that program recorded the working process of different photographers - war reporter through the smoke fire, record the cruelty of war; Entertainment reporters crowded into the crowd, for many fans to provide a large star cafe many gossip; News reporters in the great hall of the people, to record the President, the representatives of the wonderful speech; To the reporters who specialise in nature photography is risking the danger of various natural disasters and passive plant damage record the dribs and drabs of nature. I was then think photographer is a small but indispensable role, wish with all my heart to become a photographer.
When elementary school, the father bought one of the most simple camera, I often excited and curious to play with it. Every weekend, I have time to go to the park to take photos, at the expense of the break time to write my homework, just for Saturday and Sunday can be carefree for photography.
After secondary school, my photography has some increase, also joined the school photography club. Every corporate practice of photography, the spring and autumn period and the swimming, sports, art festival, science festival activities such as I will not waste, will be for each photography earnestly. One day, I suddenly in my subscription to a magazine to see a familiar pictures, that is a picture of me! I'm boiling inside. The magazine my photo! I dream a step closer! A whole afternoon, I immersed in happiness and excitement, but I didn't so proud and complacent, because I this result for the dream to become a photographer is only a small step forward, become a photographer's dream is still a long way from me.
I grew up is happy, because I have a dream, because I step by step closer to my dream. Dream is like a "lift" shortcut "skyscraper", grow up just like that can't see the top of the ladder, although it is impossible to expect success, but step by step on the top floor. Is the happiness, isn't it?
The love of beauty is an essential part of all healthy human nature. It is a moral quality. The absence of it is not an assured ground of condemnation, but the presence of it is an invariable sign of goodness of heart. In proportion to the degree in which it is felt will probably be the degree in which nobleness and beauty of character will be attained.
Natural beauty is an all-pervading presence. The universe is its temple. It unfolds into the numberless flowers of spring. It waves in the branches of trees and the green blades of grass. It haunts the depths of the earth and the sea. It gleams from the hues of the shell and the precious stone. And not only these minute objects but the oceans, the mountains, the clouds, the stars, the rising and the setting sun---all overflow with beauty. This beauty is so precious, and so congenial to our tenderest and noblest feelings, that it is painful to think of the multitude of people living in the midst of it and yet remaining almost blind to it.
All persons should seek to become acquainted with the beauty in nature. There is not a worm we tread upon, nor a leaf that dances merrily as it falls before the autumn winds, but calls for our study and admiration. The power to appreciated beauty not merely increases our sources of happiness---it enlarges our moral nature, too. Beauty calms our restlessness and dispels our cares. Go into the fields or the woods, spend a summer day by the sea or the mountains, and all your little perplexities and anxieties will vanish. Listen to sweet music, and your foolish fears and petty jealousies will pass away. The beauty of the world helps us to seek and find the beauty of goodness.
Many years ago I was on a bicycle trip through some exceedingly picturesque countryside. Suddenly, dark clouds piled up overhead and rain began to fall, but strange to relate, several hundred yards ahead of me the sun shone brilliantly. Pedaling, however, as rapidly as I could, I found it impossible to get into the clear. The clouds with their rain kept advancing faster than I could race forward. I continued this unequal contest for an exhausting half hour, before realizing that I could not win my way to the bright area ahead of me.
Then it dawned upon me that I was wasting my strength in unimportant hurry, while paying no attention whatsoever to the landscape for the sake of which I was making the trip. The storm could not last forever and the discomfort was not unendurable. Indeed, there was much to look at which might otherwise have escaped me. As I gazed about with sharpened appreciation, I saw colors and lines and contours that would have appeared differently under brilliant light. The rain mists which now crowned the wooded hills and the fresh clearness of the different greens were entrancing. My annoyance at the rain was gone and my eagerness to escape it vanished. It had provided me with a new view and helped me understand that the sources of beauty and satisfaction may be found close at hand within the range of one's own sensibilities.
It made me think, then and later, about other matters to which this incident was related. It helped me realize that there is no sense in my attempting ever to flee from circumstances and conditions which cannot be avoided but which I might bravely meet and frequently mend and often turn to good account. I know that half the battle is won if I can face trouble with courage, disappointment with spirit, and triumph with humility. It has become ever clearer to me that danger is far from disaster, that defeat may be the forerunner of final victory, and that, in the last analysis, all achievement is perilously fragile unless based on enduring principles of moral conduct.
I have learned that trying to find a carefree world somewhere far off involves me in an endless chase in the course of which the opportunity for happiness and the happiness of attainment are all too I often lost in the chase itself. It has become apparent to me that I cannot wipe out the pains of existence by denying them, blaming them largely or completely on others, or running away from them.
The elements of weakness which mark every person cannot absolve me from the burdens and blessings of responsibility for myself and to others. I can magnify but never lessen my problems by ignoring, evading or exorcising them. I believe that my perplexities and difficulties can be considerably resolved, if not completely overcome, by my own attitudes and actions. I am convinced that there can be no guarantee of my happiness except that I help evoke and enhance it by the work of my hands and the dictates of my heart and the direction of my striving. I believe that deep faith in God is necessary to keep me and hold mankind uncowed and confident under the vagaries and ordeals of mortal experience, and particularly so in this period of revolutionary storm and travail. If my values receive their sanction and strength from relationship to divine law and acceptance of its ethical imperatives, then nothing can really harm me. "The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want."
Are you waiting for me?
The girl is very beautiful and very cute. Adolescent boys, well, I like her, like dead heart! But, he didn't dare to say to the girl! In order to see more girls, boys can only be on the way from school, at a crossroads for cycling, hiding in the side, quietly waiting for the arrival of the girl.
Across the intersection of the air, also can't remember, how many times I have been the boy's drumming heartbeat drive. Near the car of the old man, also to keep shake head, sighing young boy, and the heart of blurred.
But one day, the girl in the corner, suddenly stopped. She cheerfully came to the boy, asked softly: "are you waiting for me?"
Instantly, the boy's heart is warm. That afternoon, he and his girl, riding a bicycle, side by side to walk a long good long way, said a lot of words...
The boy and girl, never be together. But a growing boy, but the heart remember that girl, and be good girl, has been moved.
Someone like you, it is your blessing. If you know he likes you, waiting for you, might as well offer, to speak out love and not love. Even if you don't like him, also it doesn't matter. In the face of love, you teach him to learn to let go, tell him to wait for another person, this is love to each other due to the feedback.
The boundless huge crowd meet, don't silence, don't escape, more don't disregard, let us ask gently: "are you waiting for me?"
“We are reading the first verse of the first chapter of a book whose pages are infinite…”
I do not know who wrote those words, but I have always liked them as a reminder that the future can be anything we want to make it. We can take the mysterious, hazy future and carve out of it anything that we can imagine, just as a sculptor carves a statue from a shapeless stone.
We are all in the position of the farmer. If we plant a good seed, we reap a good harvest. If our seed is poor and full of weeds, we reap a useless crop. If we plant nothing at all, we harvest nothing at all.
I want the future to be better than the past. I don’t want it contaminated by the mistakes and errors with which history is filled. We should all be concerned about the future because that is where we will spend the remainder of our lives.
The past is gone and static. Nothing we can do will change it. The future is before us and dynamic. Everything we do will affect it. Each day brings with it new frontiers, in our homes and in our business, if we only recognize them. We are just at the beginning of the progress in every field of human endeavor.
Tom was tired out, and he went to bed as soon as he reached home.
Suddenly it occurred to him that he had planned to do something that evening. As he could not remember what it was, he tossed and turned in his bed for along time.
Finally the thing came to his mind, "My God, the original plan was to go to bed early!" he said depressingly.
Life has its ups and downs,its peaks and its one is up all the time,nor are they down all the tough people who survive the tough times do so because they've chosen to react positively to the h time never last,but tough people h people stick it ory teaches us that every problem has a problem is ms always give way to the sun.
Winter always thaws into problem will be solved.
If your life feels like it is lacking the power that you want and the motivation that you need, sometimes all you have to do is shift your point of view.
Your life can be enhanced, and your happiness enriched, when you choose to change your perspective. Don’t leave your future to chance, or wait for things to get better mysteriously on their own. You must go in the direction of your hopes and aspirations. Begin to build your confidence, and work through problems rather than avoid them. Remember that power is not necessarily control over situations, but the ability to deal with whatever comes your way.
Always believe that good things are possible, and remember that mistakes can be lessons that lead to discoveries. Take your fear and transform it into trust; learn to rise above anxiety and doubt. Turn your “worry hours” into “productive hours”. Take the energy that you have wasted and direct it toward every worthwhile effort that you can be involved in.
