#OnThisDay, 12 Dec 1888, 20 young women petition the Governor-General of the Philippines requesting permission to learn Spanish.

At the time Spanish, the language of the colonisers, was the language of politics and society in the region. So the women were really seeking access to the wider world.

They are initially refused, with priests arguing against it, but persist until a school is, briefly, opened. http://www.fma.ph/?p=1639

Born #onthisday in 1882, Max Born was one of the fundamental figures in the development of quantum mechanics. He was a mathematician, theoretical physicist and Nobel laureate.

Among the many mind-boggling things about quantum mechanics is Born's interpretation of the wave function ψ, known as the Born Rule [1]. According to the Born rule, if the wave function of the particle has the value ψ at some point x, then the probability of finding the particle between between x and x+dx is

P(x ≤ x ≤ x+dx) = |ψ|² dx

where |ψ|² is the probability density function for the particle's location.

Mary is the most intriguing, most studied, and most famous of all Scottish monarchs: probably because she seems the most human.

The arch cuts off the sides of the frame while the palace is a large ruin made of honey-coloured stone with a tower house at its left-hand end. There are cars parked this side of it and a set of stone stesp leads up to the right beyond the arch. The sky is blue.

On this day in 1955, the civil rights activist Rosa Parks rejected a bus driver's order to vacate a seat for a white female passenger after the "white" section of the bus was filled.

Parks wasn't the first person who resisted bus segregation, but she helped inspire the black community to boycott the city buses for over a year.

A spark of freedom can light up the future of many.

#OnThisDay, 35 years ago, the Velvet Revolution began in Prague.

When people took to the streets in the autumn of 1989, they risked their own freedom to achieve it for all.

Their unity inspired Europe and the world, and their peaceful revolution changed the course of history forever.
