Malala Yousafzai was only 14 when her whole world was turned upside down in the blink of an eye. On October 9th, 2012, in Swat Valley, Pakistan, a gunman stopped Malala’s school bus and shot Malala Yousafzai in the head, all because Malala had stood up for her education, and the education of millions of other girls around the world.


Malala was born on July 12th, 1997, in Mingora, Pakistan. Ziauddin and Tor Pekai Yousafzai are Malala’s parents. Malala has two brothers, Atal and Khushal, who are both younger than her. Malala use to attend school at The Khushal Girls High School and college, which Malala’s father established himself. Malala’s parents allowed her to stay up late and debate politics, even though girls were not supposed to do these kinds of things, because they believed that Malala was special, and that she had a gift for public speaking. Though Malala’s childhood was also very devastating. The Taliban announced that on January 15th, 2009, they would be closing down all girls schools in Swat Valley. The Taliban stated that it was, “un-islamic” for girls to attend school. Malala was also considered an embarrassment to most of her family, because she was a girl. When Malala was born, relatives came to her house and said to her mother, don’t worry, next time you’ll have a boy. Women in Pakistan did not have as many rights as Men in Pakistan, and they were often thought of as burdens to the family, though Malala’s parents did not think like that.  Malala’s parents knew she was very intelligent from a young age. Malala started Writing a blog for BBC when she was 11 years old, in 2009. She wrote about how the Taliban invaded her village, and how they took away her education, and every other girls education. Malala had used the name, Gul Makai, which means Corn Flower in Urdu, so that the Taliban would not find out it was Malala who was writing that blog. Unfortunately, in December of that year the Taliban found out that it was Malala who had been writing the blog, and they were furious with her, they later tried to find Malala, and wanted to punish her for what she did.


Malala is important because she has stood up for women's education, and made sure that all girls will have a bright future. One thing that Malala has done for education is that she has created the Malala Fund. The Malala Fund’s goal is to make sure every girl receives 12 years of free, safe,  quality education. One thing The Malala fund teaches girls is important 21st century skills, such as teaching them how to use computers. Another thing the Malala fund does is helping girls who are at risk of early marriage. Many girls in places such as Lebanon and Jordan, are often married off to complete strangers, and are forced to live with them the rest of their life, the girls parents often make these arrangements. The Malala fund gives these girls education so they can learn about what career they want to have, and so they can decide if they would like to further their education. The Malala Fund gives people information about how many girls are being deprived of an education, so that people will understand that something has to be done so that this situation gets better. Malala is also important is because she speaks up, for those that cannot. There have been many cases where Malala has risked her life for the education of others. One example is that when Malala was just 11 years old, she started writing a blog to BBC about what the Taliban were doing in swat valley, and how they were taking away her education. The Taliban was furious when they found out Malala was writing this. Even though they Taliban were furious with Malala, the people of Swat Valley did not think they would hurt a child, but  On october 9th, 2012 the Taliban stopped a school bus and asked for Malala. All of Malala’s friends silently looked at her, and then The Taliban shot her in the head., along with two of Malala’s friends.  Malala nearly died, she had to be flown to a hospital in Peshawar, Pakistan, and then to U.K.  The surgery was hard and extensive, but they eventually removed the bullet from Malala’s head. Malala’s father stated that the swelling went down and that she would need everyone to pray for her, because the next 24-48 hours are very crucial in seeing what will happen with Malala.  When people heard this, a tremendous amount of support and love came pouring in from all over the word. Malala once said, “ I don’t want to be remembered as the girl who was shot. I want to be remembered as the girl who stood up”.  Malala does not let her being shot in the head define her. Malala is not afraid to stand up for what she believes in, even if she is risking her life. Malala has done many important things for our world, and still is working towards making sure every girl has an education.




Malala was inspired to stand up for women’s rights for many reasons, but one of the biggest reasons why Malala stood up for what she believes in is because of her father. Malala’s father taught her from a very early age to stand up for what she believes in, and to not let anybody get in the way of her dreams. Ziauddin said once at his TED conference talk in 2014, “When Malala was born and for the first time...I went and looked in her eyes...I felt extremely honored.” “In Pakistan, the birth of a girl isn’t something to rejoice in… when a girl is born...she is not welcomed neither by father, nor by mother.” Malala’s father supported her and encouraged her to stand up for what she believes in. Another reason why Malala was inspired to stand up for girls education is that Malala would not let the Taliban take away her education. Malala felt there was really only two options on how to deal with the taliban, remain silent and be killed, or stand up and be killed. Malala felt it was better to stand up for what she believes in, and take that risk of being killed. Malala once said in an interview with Hari Sreenivasan, “ And, at that time, I had really two options. One was to remain silent and wait to be killed. And then the second was to speak up and then be killed.” Malala was inspired to stand up for girls education because Malala’s dad was always supporting her, and she believes that every girl deserves an education.

Malala has received many awards for only being 19 years old, she has won around 11 awards already! Malala Yousafzai was the youngest person ever, to receive the Nobel Peace Prize. Malala was actually nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize twice, but won the second time. Some of the awards Malala has won are, The Nobel Peace Prize, the Sakharov Human rights prize, the Goodreads choice awards best memoir & autobiography, the Glamour Award for the girls hero,  the Simone de Beauvoir Prize, the ambassador of conscience award, she won the  United Nations Prize in The Field Of Human Rights, the Mother Teresa award and the shorty award for teen hero. “Today is a day of great happiness for me. This award is not just for me. It is for those forgotten children who want education. It is for those frightened children who want peace. It is for those voiceless children who want change. I am here to stand up for their rights, to raise their voice… it is not time to pity them. It is time to take action so it becomes the last time, the last time, so it becomes the last time that we see a child deprived of education.” This was part of Malala’s speech when she won the Nobel peace prize. Malala was ecstatic that she won this award, but did not want to make it all about her. She wanted this award to represent all of the children who do not have access to education.

Imagine the 1990 and a 12 years old is walking to the pet store, and they want a pet all the pets at the pet store is either a dog, cat, or a fish. Now in 2016, 12 year olds getting wild animals as pets, like hedgehogs, snakes, spiders, turtles, and bunnies.
     Hedgehogs are one of those animals who was taken from the wild and put into someone's home but they could be actual good pets for almost everyone of age.
     Hedgehogs range in price from about $70 to $250, depending on the hedgehog's age, color, and temperament.Some breeders offer hedgehog starter kits for around $75 that include a cage, wheel, a hiding place, water bottle, feed bowl and food, and some shavings.
     Well-cared for domestic hedgehogs live considerably longer than their wild cousins. In the wild, these small insect-eating animals seldom live beyond the age of 3 years. Although you shouldn't bring a baby hedgehog home before he reaches the age of 6 weeks, a young hedgehog is more likely to bond with his owner than an older animal.
    Pet hedgehogs are a playful and adorable addition to your family. When people are looking for an exotic pet, a hedgehog is an excellent choice. They’re notoriously easy to care for, easy going, and don’t take up much space or make a mess. They’re perfect for a busy family, especially if they only have time to spend with a pet in the evenings, due to the fact that hedgehogs are nocturnal
   The cost of owning a dog can be estimated at $1200-3600 per year, and a hedgehog cost 20 times less per year.
    Expect to spend about fifteen minutes to a half hour per week cleaning a hedgehog's’ cage, food bowl, water bottle, wheel and other toys. Owning a hedgehog can be a great way for kids to learn responsibility because the cleaning doesn't take that long.
Is Steven Spielberg a great movie director
Steven Spielberg is famous director who made many famous movies.He was born on December 18, 1946 in  Cincinnati, Ohio. He loved direction since he was 9, that is when he got his first camera.He use to make his own home movies. He changed the movie making world by helping to create the idea of the movie "blockbuster."
Steven Spielberg has many famous movies but his most popular one is Jaws a 1975 film. They were not going to produce it if the people look over it twice but good thing they didn't look over it twice. There were many mistakes with the shark. For example, they did not work, there were 3 of them and they all were named Bruce.They were named Bruce after Steven Spielberg’s lawyer. They spent so much money on it they thought they would never make a profit but it did in the first month and a half.
Steven Spielberg made 38 movies in his whole life. Many of those were blockbusters hits. These films made millions of dollars- Jaws, Jurassic Park, Indiana Jones, BFG, E.T. There were some movies that did not do well- Twilight Zone is one example of a film that did not make a lot of money.
Steven Spielberg’s newest movie is BFG. Is it based off of the book. It did not do well at the box office. It had a 73% on rotten tomatoes.
He has a film  called Ready Player One coming out in 2018. “It about perfect marriage of material and man.”
The components of particle physics

“All of physics is either impossible or trivial. It is impossible until you understand it, then it becomes trivial.” a famous quote by the famous physicist, Ernest Rutherford. There are many components to particle physics. It all starts with the guys who study it, physicists. There are many famous ones such as albert Einstein, isaac newton, and max blanck are just a few. There are many famous discoveries in particle physics, such as when the subatomic particle was found. The electron was the first subatomic particle to be found in 1897 by J. J. thomson, and right after the nucleus was discovered in 1911 by ernest rutherford. There are many places to study physics, such as the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the world's best physics university, right in front of University of California--Berkeley. Physics Important because it solves the most interesting mysteries of science because of all the physicists who study the amazing field.

Subatomic particles are known as elementary particles. They are very small, smaller than regular particles, even though they’re very similar. They are both equally important in the forming of matter and energy. A subatomic particle is a component of regular particles, such as an atom. They make up atoms and give them their charge, thanks to electrons and protons. A regular particle is one of the smallest things in the universe, but bigger than a subatomic particle as we know. The normal size of the particle known as the atom, is 0.000000001 of an inch.

The universe itself is excessively large. The universe is mostly made up of a substance known as plasma.the universe is made up of two generalized things., matter and energy. The universe contains many things such as stars, galaxies, planets, black holes, and many more things. The universe is so big that with all that it contains, is still largely spacious. We don't know if there are other universes, but we suspect ares is the only one.

Matter is what makes up everything you see around you. Matter can be generally defined as something that occupies space. Matter can be described in ways such as size, shape, color, and more. Matter can also have the definition of being the one thing that makes up every object. Energy is what's needed for work, which is using force to move an object a distance. The universe comes in many forms such as radiant, thermal, motion, and more. While matter makes up everything you see around you, energy makes up the majority of the outside universe. Many things about a substance known as dark matter are coming into play as well, so keep up with the research. Soon enough we’ll have figured out dark matter for good.

🍲Let us eat lettuce!🍲
                    

Starting a garden can be hard, but there are luckily some good pointers that gardeners have provided to beginners. These pointers include what things people need to start with, to when the best time to plant things are. It is also shown that one in every three houses are now growing food.
Beginners need some basic tools. These tools include a watering can, fertilizer, and if gardeners happen to be planting vegetables they might need a fence, because there are lots of animals that would die to get there lettuce!. Beginners also need to know what dirt they are working with, some can be too dry and kill crops. Gardeners need to keep their soil fertile and healthy. beginners also need to make sure that have a calendar so they know when to harvest your crops. Over time beginners will be able to tell when they are ripe
There are certain months where it is best to plant certain plants, people can go to the website http://www.ufseeds.com/What-To-Plant-Now.html to see what plants work best for every mounth. Also,  gardeners need to know when to water certain plants because they all need different amounts of water and sunlight.
There are some good beginner plants because they are easy to take care of. These plants include “Radishes. Radishes do well even in not-so-great garden soil and are ready to harvest in only a few weeks. Plant the seeds in spring and fall. Salad greens (lettuce, spinach, arugula and corn salad). Pick your favorite, or try a mix — many companies sell mixed packets for summer and winter gardening. Plant the seeds in spring and fall, and you can pick salads almost year-round.Green beans. Easy to grow and prolific. If you get a big crop, they freeze well, and they’re also delicious when pickled as dilly beans. Start with seeds after all danger of frost has passed.
Onions. Start with small plants, and if they do well, people can harvest bulb onions. If not, they can always eat the greens.
Strawberries. Perfectly ripe strawberries are unbelievably sweet, and the plants are surprisingly hardy. Buy bare-root plants in early spring. Put this perennial in a sunny spot and keep it well weeded.. Peppers. Both hot peppers and bell peppers are easy to grow. Start with plants and let peppers from the same plant ripen for different lengths of time to get a range of colors and flavors.
Bush zucchini. This squash won't take up as much room in a garden as many other types, and it’s very prolific. Start from seeds or transplants. You won't need more than a few plants for a bumper crop. Tomatoes. There’s just no substitute for a perfectly ripe homegrown tomato, and it’s hard to go wrong when you start with strong plants. If you get a big crop, consider canning or freezing. Basil. Many herbs are easy to grow, but basil is a good choice because it’s a nice complement to tomatoes. Basil is easy to grow from seeds or from transplants. Potatoes. An easy-to-grow staple that stores well when kept cool. A simple and low-maintenance approach is to plant potatoes in straw rather than soil. ‘Seeds’ are whole or cut sections of potatoes, sold in early spring” ( said by
Starters should go out every day to water they plants or just check up on them. They should weed them every time you see a weed because that is just a recipe for disaster. You should especially do this if you are planting strawberries. Some gardeners say that even talking to your plants improve their growth! This is not fully decided as of yet though. (http://wonderopolis.org/wonder/does-talking-to-plants-help-them-grow) If your plant seems droopy try to put soe fertilizer at there roots.
People can start a garden any season if they like, but the best season would be spring because that's where most things bloom, but start earlier. If they want to start in the winter they have to make sure that they are either planting them inside or have a cover over them. People also might want to keep a close eye on them so they don't freeze.
This information is crucial to the livelihood of your plants, so keep them in mind.
