Today in history: Malala Yousafzai, 17, wins Nobel Peace Price
On October 10, 2014, activist Malala Yousafzai, age 17, wins the Nobel Peace Prize. A fierce advocate for girls’ education, in her native Pakistan and around the world, she is the youngest-ever Nobel laureate.
In 2008, the Taliban seized control of the Swat valley. As part of a campaign to impose their vision of fundamentalist Islam, they violently shuttered schools for girls, bombing campuses and threatening teachers, parents and students. Undeterred, 11-year-old Malala went with her father to a local press club in Peshawar, where she gave her first public speech, entitled “How Dare the Taliban Take Away My Basic Right to Education?” She began to pseudonymously publish an online diary of her life under the Taliban with the BBC. After the Taliban was pushed out of the Swat Valley in 2009, Malala continued her public campaign to increase access to schooling for Pakistani girls.
Today is: National Metric Day
On 10/10, National Metric Day recognizes the metric system, its history, and its benefits.
The metric system uses decimals as a method of measuring mass, distance, and volume. Though Simon Stevin, a Flemish mathematician, first suggested such a system in his 1586 publication De Thiende (The Tenth), centuries passed before the metric system became an accepted form of measurement.
The metric system uses the following base units:
- Meter – measures length
- Kilogram – measures mass
- Liter – measures volume
These units are broken down by the power of 10 and the terms used for smaller and larger units carry across the base units. For example, a kilo is equal to the factor of 1000 and deci is equal to the factor of 0.1. A kilometer, kilogram, and kiloliter all mean translate to be 1000 of each base unit while a decimeter, decigram, and deciliter all translate to 0.1 of the base unit. This standardization makes for easy conversions.
Believe in yourself, even when others don’t. Work hard to make your dreams a reality. Keep an open mind and never stop learning
