Four women scientists in developing countries win 2021 OWSD-Elsevier Foundation Awards. Four researchers have been named winners of the 2021 OWSD-Elsevier Foundation Awards for Early-Career Women Scientists in the Developing World for their research in chemistry, mathematics and physics.

Maria Eugenia Cabrera Catalán in particle physics. For her work focusing on the study of physics beyond the Standard Model of particle physics. In her research, she has been focusing on the phenomenological study of new physics models that propose solutions to open questions about the Higgsboson, which can help explain why the fundamental particles have mass, as well as questions about dark matter.

Khongorzul Dorjgotoy in financial mathematics and mathematical modeling. For her research in fractional calculus（微积分）, differential equations, special functions invariant solutions, mathematical modeling and financial mathematics. "I found it very hard to have my voice heard. Most people ignore women's ideas and voices," said Dr. Dorjgotov. "Now, I hope attitudes will change and my opinions will matter."

Ghada Dushaq in applied physics and nanotechnology. For her work in solid state physics, applied physics, photonics and optoelectronics, nanotechnology and on optical materials and devices. She has developed a novel method for bandgap engineering using nanoindentation as a complete physical technique. Dr. Dushaq said, "It is truly rewarding to feel that all the hard work, devotion to my research has really paid off. Also, it motivates me to continue struggling for excellence in my academic and professional pursuits and encourage young girls in advancement of their career."

Marian Asantewah Nkansah in environmental remediation（补救）strategies. For her work on pollutants in water, food, soil, and the atmosphere. Remediation techniques are needed when there is no space for prevention and this is the right response in the case where, like Ghana, countries are suffering pollution from different sources and with different nature. Her research involves analytical sample preparation, determination of contamination levels and interaction of contaminants in water, food, soil, the atmosphere and other environmental matrices.

A social media influencer is someone who has a plenty of followers online. What that person says, or does, or buys, or wear can influence the decisions of their followers! That is why we call him "social media influencers" and simply "influencers". I like Miss Manners best between all the influencers. She continual guides me in my online activity and acts as my social compass on a daily basis. When in doubt, I thought to myself "what will Miss Manners do?" What I'm eager follow is not Miss Manners herself but the overall idea behind her and what she represents. It's all about be polite, interesting and engaging, which is the point of social media.

A 13-year study of early childhood development (make) by Harvard University has shown that, by the age of three, most children have the big potential (understand) about 1,000 words-most of the language they will use in ordinary conversation for the rest of their lives.

Furthermore, research has shown that while every child is born with a natural curiosity, it can decline (great) during the second and third years of life. Researchers say that the human personality (form) during the first two years of life, and during the first three years children learn the basic skills they will use in all their later learning both at home school.

is generally acknowledged that young people from poorer socio-economic backgrounds tend to do less well in our education system. As a result of the research evidence of the (important) of the first three years of a child's life, a pilot programme focused on parents as the child's first teachers started in the US. As the programme shows, working with the family, rather than bypassing the parents, (be) the most effective way of (help) children get off to the best possible start in life.

The idea of donating mosquito nets to millions of Africans came to Katherine Commale's mind when she was only five years old.

This made her3, but it also4her to do something to save their lives5. Katherine started6money for mosquito nets so that Africans don't have to7malaria. She sent nets to Africa through an organization called Nothing But Nets. By making hand-decorated8with her family and giving them to those who donated money. Katherine inspired people to 9her.

However. Katherine still seemed13. She and her friends wrote letters to the14who were on the list of The World's Billionaires,15they could contribute money. After receiving the letter, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation16that it would donate three million dollars to Nothing But Nets.17to have more people know Katherine's18, the foundation invested（投资）in filming a public welfare documentary.

Thanks to Katherine, the frequency of children's death19from malaria in Africa has been decreased to one person every 120 seconds. Katherine's kindness influenced the world even though she was only a little girl. She showed that no one is too20to change the world into a better place.

Everyone is faced with problems at some point or the other. The problems, however, become different when past strategies do not work and there is no obvious solution. This can cause anxiety and stress. However, all you need to do is remain calm and use a new, different method. Here are some easy ways to solve problems.

Acknowledge that there is a problem. Many people refuse to acknowledge that there is a problem. They continue thinking everything will disappear on its own, so they fail to seek timely help. This does not help the situation in any way.

Keep a journal. Keeping a daily journal is the best way to solve deeper problems that may be affecting your peace of mind. Sometimes, just by writing down issues, you might get to see that a problem isn't as big as you are thinking.

Often, to solve a problem, you need to test your limits. You may have to take on certain challenges including learning something new to improve yourself. If you continue thinking of the problem as a threat and view yourself as a failure or a weak person, you will not be able to deal with the problem. Nevertheless, if you can see some benefits coming out of the problem, you will be in a better position to accept the challenge and learn something new.

Seek help. If you are still unable to solve the issue despite giving it much thought and attention, seek help from friends, colleagues, family or even professionals.

A. Challenge yourself.

B. Set achievable goals.

C. Instead, it can make the problem bigger than before.

D. So write down all the problems you are facing right now.

E. Sometimes, certain problems can't be solved on your own.

F. So try to come up with at least 10 different solutions to a problem.

G. Many problems can be solved by using methods we might have used before.

A young female athlete in the Philippines recently won many gold medals during a sports meet despite not having proper running shoes. Rhea Ballos, an 11-year-old student of Salvation Elementary School in Balason, Iloilo, was only wearing bandages around her feet when she competed at the Iloilo Schools Sports Meet.

Facebook user Valenzuela posted pictures of the girl with her feet wrapped in bandages bearing the famous Nike logo. Ballos even wrote the word "NIKE" on the sides of her "shoe" to complete the "Nike running shoes" look. The bandages were tightly wrapped around her feet, creating a thin protective layer against the track. While she was actually barefoot during the races, she was still able to defeat her competitors who all more proper footwear intended for running,

According to the post, Ballos bagged the top awards in the 400-meter dash, the 800-meter run, and the 1500-meter run in the girls' categories in the inter school sporting event held in Iloilo, central Philippines.

When pictures of her "Nike" footwear become popular, Flipinos on social media praised her. Many noted that instead of falling into self-pity, she was even able to make light of the situation by drawing the Nike logo on her "running shoes". Some of the commenters of Valenzuela's post expressed how the girl deserved to be recognized by Nike and that the brand should actually give her a new pair of real Nike shoes. Others started getting in touch with the American sports brand, as well as local basketball specialty store Titan 22.

It did not take long for Titan co-founder and Alaska Aces head coach Jeffrey Cariaso to take notice of Ballos' outstanding achievement. Cariaso immediately made an effort to get in touch with the young track runner. The seven-time PBA champion has since talked to the student as well as her coaches in an apparent bid to help her out.

Betty White, a longtime television star who enjoyed a second wave of popularity in her 90s, was best known for her roles on The Golden Girls and The Mary Tyler Moore Show.

Before Betty White's death at the age of 99 on New Year's Eve, she was regularly asked to reveal her secret to living a long, happy life. Her answers often came in the form of humor. In 2011, the Golden Girls actress appeared on the Late Show With David Letterman and shared her "Top 10 Tips for Living a Long and Healthy Life." "Try not to die," White said. "Avoid tweeting any photos of your private parts," and "get eight hours of beauty sleep — nine if you're ugly". The following year White told The New York Times that she was a "health nut" whose "favorite food is hot dogs with French fries. And my exercise — I have a two-story house and a very bad memory, so I'm up and down those stairs."

However, there were times when White gave some more serious understanding about how mental health was really important in staying healthy. "First of all, keep busy and don't focus everything on you. That wears out pretty fast. It's not hard to find things you're interested in, but enjoy them and get involved in them. And I think that keeps you on your toes," she told journalist Katie Couric on her 95th birthday.

White would have turned 100 on Jan. 17, 2022 and for a People profile that was meant to celebrate her centennial year, the actress spoke about how she was feeling. "I'm so lucky to be in such good health and feel so good at this age," she said. "It's amazing."
