Gitanjali Rao, a seventh grader from Colorado, has been awarded the title of "America's top young scientist" for designing a compact device to detect lead in drinking water, which she believes can be faster and cheaper than other current methods.

The 11-year-old's invention was inspired by the water crisis in Flint, Michigan, where cost-cutting measures led to tainted drinking water that contained lead and other toxins.

It also won her a $25,000 prize, for which Rao already has plans: "I plan to use most of it in developing my device further so that it can be commercially available soon," she said

Rao who attends the STEM School in Highlands Ranch, Colorado, originally submitted the idea to the Discovery Education 3M Young Scientist Challenge, an annual youth science and engineering competition for middle school students in the US, inaugurated in 2008.

She was awarded a 3-month mentorship with Kathleen Shafer, a research specialist who develops new plastics technologies: "Gitanjali's concept was at a very early stage at the beginning of our mentorship.

She had thought of this idea earlier this year, only a few weeks before the submission deadline," Shafer said.

During beauty contest, no doubt all the contestants are of course beautiful. Being a contest, there has to be a winner and mostly some beauties are not as beautiful as others and so they don’t deserve to be crowned.

A winner also has to be a role model to many and conduct themselves in their best behavior possible.

There have been beauties who won but their winning remains questionable.

Others won because they are beautiful yes but they get dethroned for misbehaving. This list gives us details about the worst beauty pageant winners of all time.

10. Paulina Vega Dieppa – Miss Universe

She won herself the miss universe crown in the year 2014. The crowd even showed it to her face by booing her and cheered Kaci Fenell instead (who was the Miss Jamaica universe).

Many people thought that Kaci could be the winner of the beauty contest and were very disappointed by the final decision.

Kaci was the fourth place winner and after the results were announced, all the other contestants lifted her up showing they preferred her over Fennell.

9. Keishla Villafane Rivera – miss Puerto Rico

This beauty who was crowned as miss Puerto Rico and later was dethroned in the year 2009 after making death threats to the staff of beauty pageant.

She also was said to be hard to handle and very difficult to work with. It was as though she got it into her head that she was the winner and found reasons to treat other badly. This would make her learn how to treat others especially the people who helped her. She lacked humility.

8. Katie Rees – Miss Nevada

This beauty was crowned as miss Nevada back in 2008 and the crowd loved and supported her. She enjoyed all the good things and opportunities that came with winning the award but not for so long.

Miss Nevadawas dethroned when her nude photos were leaked and went viral ruining and spoiling her name. That’s how she lost it all, poor beauty.

7. Zuleyka Rivera – Miss Universe

Zuleyka Rivera was crowned as miss universe in the year 2006 but the public were dissatisfied as they thought she never deserved the crown.

Rumors had it that she was so fake and had done a lot of plastic surgeries on herself.

The public were even comparing her plastic surgeries to those of Michael Jackson and were not impressed at all by the winning.

As we all know in this contests, the winner or rather the beauty should posses nothing more than her natural beauty and so Zuleyka’s win was considered not fair at all.

6. Lindsey Evans –Miss teen Louisiana


It was just 11 days after this beautiful girl was crowned miss teen that she had to return the crown back for very embarrassing reasons behind.
She went to a restaurant and after enjoying whatever she had she left the restaurant without paying her bills. To add salt to injury, she was carrying with herself mar!juana.
As a model, one is a public figure and that was out rightly a very bad picture to show.
She should have set a good example as miss teen but she must have learnt a lesson for she was dethroned and this should be lesson to the others too.

5. Riyo Mori – Miss Universe

She is pretty, and the public thought s too but Riyo herself had self doubts about this. She never thought she deserved the crown as miss universe 2007.
She had all it took to be the winner; nothing was wrong or unattractive about her. She tried to admit publicly that she had lips injections done on her in order to look better but that wasn’t enough to fool the public.

4. Gabriela Isler – Miss Universe

This beautiful model was crowned as miss universe In the year 2013 but the public was not impressed at all by the decision that was made. The fans thought that this contestant had too much makeup done on her face.
They claimed that the beauty could have looked better without makeup that they thought was too much. Her wide smile and too much makeup in the eye didn’t convince anyone that she was pretty at all.
This entire thing left people saying that she was the worst winner ever in history of modeling.

3. Carrie Prejean – Miss California

This was back in the year 2009 when Carrie was crowned miss California and later was dethroned. The reason was “contract violations’.
She had made statements that were negative about same-sex marriages and people were unhappy about her.
Later on, a nude picture of her was leaked (t0pless) and went viral. Thereafter, Carrie failed to appear as she was scheduled too and the pageant got angry with her.
She had to return the sash and the crown as a lesson to her and other future

2. Olivia Culpo – Miss Universe

Controversies arose when Olivia’s fellow contestants started spreading rumor that she wasn’t actually a lady but a male. Finally it was confirmed that those were only rumors.
Olivia had a lot of hate with her when she was crowned miss universe in the year 2012 and the public thought that she never deserved the crown.
The winner was a semi-celebrity at that time she was contesting and the public went all over the internet saying stuff like she only won because this was carried out in USA and that she looked just ordinary like a little girl.

1. Gloria Diaz – Miss Universe

She was the winner of miss universe in the year 1969. Gloria Diaz from the Philippines is considered the worst winner ever and so many people were upset by the result.
The public said that it’s not beauty that made her win, but the last question she was asked about welcoming the astronauts back from the moon.
Despite the negatives said about her, Gloria went on and became an award winning actress.

This Mercy Johnson's biography / profile page will reveal top facts from Mercy Johnson's family history, what you probably did not know about this actress.

Mercy Johnson family life does not get enough attention in the media.

Many news outlets focus more on her looks and stunning figure rather than on her upbringing and family life.

We are here to remedy that.

Read this her biography page to find out about Mercy Johnson and family.


Mercy Johnson is a famous Nigerian actress, philanthropist and entertainer.

She was born in Lagos on August 28, 1984 to Christian parents.

So if you have been asking of Mercy Johnson’s age, now you know from her date of birth above.

As at the time of updating this page, Mercy Johnson was 33 year old.

To know here current age after now, subtract the current year from 1984 and you will have her current age.

Her father, Daniel Johnson, was in the navy. Her mother, Elizabeth Johnson, used to be a trader. Both of them came from Kogi State, Nigeria.

Mercy recalled that her parents fought often.

There had been various scandals and rumours going around the house.

In some sources, it was mentioned that the two had separated. However, we are not sure about that. What we do know is that Mercy sometimes uses the memories from those times to help her cry for the camera.

However, despite how dramatic it might sound, her family has always been a loving and caring one. Even though they did not have much, they still tried to give her the best they could offer. Which is why Mercy was able to receive decent education.


Due to her father’s military career, the family had to move quite often. Although, it did not mean that they exchanged one mansion for another.

The living situation was not always the best. At times, as Mercy mentioned, things were extremely bad.

One of the stories she recalled from childhood was about an unfinished house they had to live in at some point.

The roof was dented, so it was wet inside when it rained. The walls lacked plaster, and floors were covered with lizards.

Mercy had to take on numerous jobs and help around the house to improve their living conditions.

Although, things got better:

Just as she finished her secondary education, Mercy decided to audition for The Maid.

This movie turned out to be her ticket to a brighter future. After that, she starred in numerous Nollywood films, earning herself national recognition.

Her acting career allowed her to support and care for her parents. Up until 2010, she lived with them in their home in Badagry. The hardships have passed, and now all seems well.

You might be wondering:

Is Mercy the only child? Not at all! In fact, she has three older sisters and three younger brothers.

That makes her the middle child in a family of seven children.

Mercy told several interviewers about growing up in a big family.

She mentioned that her relationship with her brothers was much closer than with the sisters. The actress used to be quite the tomboy, climbing trees and running around everywhere.

Her siblings helped her and their parents keep the family afloat during their most difficult times.

One of Mercy’s brothers worked as a bricklayer, and another sibling used to sell moin moin and satchet water on the streets to earn a living.

Unfortunately, we do not know how all of them are doing now.

We could not find any information about any of them. It seems that the actress wants to keep them away from the public eye.

It is fascinating that none of them tried to live off their sister’s fame. This just proves how wonderful their upbringing has been. We are sure that the Johnson siblings stay in touch and keep up their great relationship.


Mercy Johnson biography would not be complete without its most important chapter. Back in August of 2011, Mercy Johnson became Mercy Johnson-Okojie.

She married Prince Odianosen Okojie. The celebration was absolutely beautiful, and both of her parents attended the ceremony.

Her mother gave a moving speech about the newlyweds, praising the Lord and applauding their love for each other.

After that, Mercy and Odi did not waste any time and started working on creating a family of their own.

At the moment, they have three wonderful children. The eldest daughter’s name is Purity Ozioma, and she was born on December 20, 2012.

The middle child is the only son named Henry, who was born on October 15, 2014. The youngest kid is a girl named Angel, born on December 11, 2015.

Some people criticised Mercy for not spacing her pregnancies, which was why she decided to wait for a while before trying to get pregnant again. In one of her Instagram posts, the actress admitted that she wanted twin boys.

Married life seems to do wonders for Mercy.

She looks happy and alive; you can see her glowing in every picture. In many of her interviews, she shares that her husband makes her the happiest woman in the world.

She adores her children and is doing everything she can to give them the best things she could not have while growing up.

Despite not having much, Mercy Johnson’s family made her a wonderful person and a great mother.

With their help and Lord’s blessings, she grew up to be an ambitious and hard-working woman who gives back to her community and helps the less fortunate.

We hope she continues doing her great work and that her family remains strong and as beautiful as ever.
