The crew keeps almost the same since the team’s “birth” in 1988, when a devastating earthquake destroyed Armenian city of Spitak. Since that time the team visited sites of natural disasters, technogenic catastrophes and military activities for over 20 times.

Doctors saved lives, when a train crashed near Ufa and when a plant exploded in Ust-Kamenogorsk. Roshal and his team went to combat zones in Romania, Yugoslavia, Abkhazia, Georgia, Armenia and Azerbaijan, Israel and Chechnya; to earthquake sites in Egypt, Japan, Georgia and Sakhalin; California, India, Afghanistan and Turkey.

Entrepreneur and businessman Bill Gates and his business partner Paul Allen founded and built the world's largest software business, Microsoft, through technological innovation, keen business strategy and aggressive business tactics. In the process, Gates became one of the richest men in the world. The Gates family atmosphere was warm and close, and all three children were encouraged to be competitive and strive for excellence. Gates showed early signs of competitiveness when he coordinated family athletic games at their summer house on Puget Sound. He also relished in playing board games (Risk was his favorite) and excelled at Monopoly.

Harriet Tubman

In 2019 a movie was screened about her and the soundtrack of the film became my favourite song. She suffered a lot but eventually she reached her goal. Harriet Tubman escaped slavery to become a leading abolitionist. She led hundreds of enslaved people to freedom along the route of the Underground Railroad. Born into slavery in Maryland, Harriet Tubman escaped to freedom in the North in 1849 to become the most famous "conductor" on the Underground Railroad. Tubman risked her life to lead hundreds of family members and other slaves from the plantation system to freedom on this elaborate secret network of safe houses. A leading abolitionist before the American Civil War, Tubman also helped the Union Army during the war, working as a spy among other roles. After the Civil War ended, Tubman dedicated her life to helping impoverished former slaves and the elderly.

Viktoria Aslanyan

She is an owner of wine making factory and products of their factory are demanded and of good quality. She is an example of hard working, successful woman for me.

Ashkhen Hovakimyan

Hovakimian discovered her passion for horticulture and botany while growing up in a family that had a deep appreciation for these pursuits: her father was a board member of the Singapore Botanic Gardens and her mother was an avid gardener. Her family would regularly participate in the Singapore Flower Show, where many family members, including Ashkhen, would win 

prizes. 

Ashkhen Hovakimian, also known as Agnes Joaquim, was born in an Armenian family in Singapore in the mid-1800s. She became a prominent horticulturist during her lifetime and successfully created the flower that would eventually become Singapore’s national flower. 

 

 In 1893, Hovakimian brought a plant she had created to the Вirector of Singapore’s Botanic Gardens, Henry Ridley. The Vanda “Miss Joaquim” was a cross between Burmese and Malay orchids, making it one of the first hybrid orchids ever — and the first one created by a woman anywhere in the world. 

 Alenush Teryan

Alenush Terian was the first astrophysics professor in Iran. She was born in Tehran on November 9, 1920. Her Father translated parts of Shahnameh (a masterpiece by Iran’s great poet, Ferdowsi) into Armenian language. Her mother graduated in literature from Switzerland. Alenush Terian went to the Armenian elementary school and the Zoroastrians’ high school in Isfahan. She graduated in 1947 from Tehran University, where she was employed and put in charge of laboratory operations of the School of Sciences.

Then she applied for scholarship, but her professor did not approve her request because she was a woman. So she went to France at her family’s expense and continued her education at Sorbonne University. She received her PhD in 1956. Ms. Terian was offered to teach at Sorbonne as a professor, but she preferred to go back to Iran to serve her own people. She was appointed as an associate professor of thermodynamics at Tehran University. She became a professor in 1964. In 1966, she became a member of Tehran University’s Geophysics Faculty and played a significant role in founding the first solar physics observatory in Iran. In 1969, Ms. Terian was tasked with leading the solar physics research group at Tehran University’s Institute of Geophysics. Alenush Terian was the first person to teach astrophysics in Iran. She was fluent in French, Persian and Armenian, and also knew Turkish and English.

Joanne K Rowling

J.K Rowling conceived the idea of Harry Potter during a train ride in 1990. By the time she finished writing it seven years later, her mother died, she divorced and lived in near poverty. And her book was rejected by 12 publishers. What is so remarkably inspiring about Rowlings’ story is that despite living in near poverty and despite being rejected 12 times – she persisted with her dream to tell the world a story about the magical life of Harry Potter. She is now a billionaire. Her fantastically original story is now a household name with blockbuster movies, theme parks, and even a wildly popular fan-based podcast called MuggleCast. In her most painful moments living just above poverty, Rowling might not have been able to see the empire she’d soon create. But she did see her story and it moved her
