10/18 WHY MALALA ISN’T ANGRY AT THE MEN WHO SHOT HER??

Nobel Peace Prize winner Malala Yousafzai(瑪拉拉·尤蘇芙札) grew up in the Swat Valley, located in the province of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa in northwest Pakistan. In 2007, the Taliban, an extremist Islamic group, effectively took control of the region, banning dancing, music stores and parties, and preventing women from seeking an education. They destroyed more than 400 schools in the process.

Meanwhile, Malala, whose parents operate a chain of schools in the area, was speaking out for girls’ equal access to education. When she was just 11 years old, she wrote an anonymous blog for the BBC about her experiences under Taliban rule, focusing on the struggles in the education system. She eventually went public with her beliefs and became a de facto representative for equal rights in the region.

In 2009, the Pakistani military took control of the Swat Valley, but dangers remained for the residents. In October 2012, Malala was shot three times and was nearly killed by a Taliban gunman in an attempt to stop her from disseminating her beliefs.

They did not succeed. Malala survived and went on to become the youngest Nobel laureate in history. She continues to speak around the world.
Does she ever feel angry at the people who tried to kill her, even a little bit, Oprah asks Malala in their SuperSoul Sunday interview.

“I think that in order to go forward, it’s important that you have love in your heart. And I want to have love in my heart,” Malala says. ” I don’t want to have any hate, any bad feelings in my heart. And that’s what makes me more happy.”

What We Know About the Paris Attacks?

Terror returned to Paris for the  second time in a year  Friday night when at least 127  people  died in a series of brutal terrorist attacks at various locations around the city. The militant group Islamic State of Iraq and Greater Syria (ISIS) claimed responsibility for the attacks early Saturday, praising them as “miracles.” French President François Hollande also blamed ISIS, calling the attacks “an act of war” and vowing to retaliate against the group. Here’s what we know so far. How did this start? At about 9:45 p.m. local time, reports surfaced of a shooting in a popular area packed with bars and restaurants. Shortly afterwards, explosions were reported outside a stadium where French President François Hollande was watching a soccer game between France and Germany. Meanwhile, shots were reported in the Bataclan concert venue where an American band was playing, and soon it was revealed that multiple attackers had taken hostages inside. Ho...

Rio Olympics 2016: Santiago Lange wins gold with Cecilia Carranza Saroli

Argentine sailor Santiago Lange, who lost part of a lung to cancer last year, teamed up with Cecilia Carranza Saroli to win gold at the Olympics. The 54-year-old, the oldest sailor competing in Rio, and his compatriot won the Nacra 17 mixed category. Lange was diagnosed with cancer in 2015 and believes he owes his early diagnosis to the sport. "Probably if I wasn't travelling so much and wasn't so tired it wouldn't have been found,"  he said. "I was very lucky to find it. "My philosophy and what I learned through the sport helped me a lot. With sailing you learn to suffer in a certain way, to go through hard times and stand up and keep pushing." Lange teamed up with Carlos Espinola to win Olympic bronze in the Tornado in 2004 and 2008. His sons Yago and Klaus will compete in the 49er skiff class in Rio. Australia were second behind Lange and Saroli, with Austria third. British pair Ben Saxton and Nicola Groves finished ninth...

U.N. Climate Change Conference Turns to Implementing Paris Agreement

Tensions over how developed countries will help finance the transition to a lower-carbon energy system threaten to undermine implementation      By   BILL SPINDLE  and   AMY HARDER      Nov. 7, 2016 5:30 a.m. ET A year after nearly 200 nations agreed to a  global pact in Paris to combat climate change , a United Nations conference this week ushers in the hard work of turning the plan into action. The conference, known as COP22, which kicks off Monday in Marrakesh, Morocco, benefits from the unexpectedly quick adoption of the Paris agreement. It entered into force Friday after at least 55 signatories representing more than 55% of global emissions previously ratified it, including the U.S., China, the European Union and India. “The politically difficult step was Paris,” said Robert Stavins, an environmental economist at Harvard Universit...
