Ecaterina Teodoroiu 

 ( 15 January 1894 – 3 September 1917) was a Romanian woman who fought on the front and died in World War I, and is regarded as a heroine of Romania.

A Romanian Scouts member, she had initially worked as a nurse but she subsequently decided to become a front-line soldier, being deeply impressed by the patriotism of the wounded and the death of her brother Nicolae, a sergeant in the Romanian Army. It was an unusual decision for a woman of that era, so she was sent to the front rather reluctantly. However, with the support of the Romanian royal family, she was able to serve in the military and eventually came to be seen as a symbol.

Marie Salomea Skłodowska–Curie  born Maria Salomea Skłodowska,

 7 November 1867 – 4 July 1934) was a Polish and naturalized-French physicist and chemist who conducted pioneering research on radioactivity. She was the first woman to win a Nobel Prize, the first person to win a Nobel Prize twice, and the only person to win a Nobel Prize in two scientific fields. Her husband, Pierre Curie, was a co-winner of her first Nobel Prize, making them the first-ever married couple to win the Nobel Prize and launching the Curie family legacy of five Nobel Prizes. She was, in 1906, the first woman to become a professor at the University of Paris.

She was born in Warsaw, in what was then the Kingdom of Poland, part of the Russian Empire. She studied at Warsaw's clandestine Flying University and began her practical scientific training in Warsaw. In 1891, aged 24, she followed her elder sister Bronisława to study in Paris, where she earned her higher degrees and conducted her subsequent scientific work. In 1895 she married the French physicist Pierre Curie, and she shared the 1903 Nobel Prize in Physics with him and with the physicist Henri Becquerel for their pioneering work developing the theory of "radioactivity"—a term she coined. In 1906 Pierre Curie died in a Paris street accident. Marie won the 1911 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for her discovery of the elements polonium and radium, using techniques she invented for isolating radioactive isotopes.

Under her direction, the world's first studies were conducted into the treatment of neoplasms by the use of radioactive isotopes. She founded the Curie Institute in Paris in 1920, and the Curie Institute in Warsaw in 1932; both remain major medical research centres. During World War I she developed mobile radiography units to provide X-ray services to field hospitals.

GAZI OSMAN PASHA

  Gazi Osman Pasha was born in Tokat, Turkey in 1832. He and his parents immigrated to the Istanbul then. He graduated from Beşiktaş Military Highschool and then Cadet School in 1853 with the rank “mülazım-ı sani”.

    On 24 April 1872, Russia declared war to Ottoman empire while Osman Pasha was commander of “Garp Military” in Vidin, Bulgaria. Pasha came to the Plevne with his 25000 soldiers in 07 July 1872 and with his legendary defence tactics, Russians were repelled. With this victory, he assumed the title of “Conqueror Of Plevne”.

PAOLO BORSELLINO and GIOVANNI FALCONE

Paolo Borsellino and Giovanni Falcone were two magistrates, who dedicated their lives to fight the Mafia (a criminal organization) in 1980s. They discovered the secrets of the organization and together they reduced the power that Mafia had. 

Thanks to them, people started to denounce the abuses (for example, many traders were forced to pay a tax to the Mafia to avoid that their shops were burned).

Because of their fight they were both killed in two bomb attacks organized by the Mafia, but they have become heroes and following their example many other people have started to fight the Mafia.

MEVLANA

Mevlana was not only a great poet and philosopher but first and foremost he was a mystic, a spiritually touched man. His mind and heart had reached for heights and depths of the spiritual world. In his vision there were two universes which coincided in Man. The inner world was like an endless infinite ocean, which could only be felt and seen with the eyes of the heart, while the outer world was but like the passing foam which appears on the surface of the waves emenating from that ocean.

I think Mimar Sinan can save the planet because he is hardworking, determined and genius. 

He was an architect. He grew up in one of the most splendid periods of the Ottoman State , and who contributed to this era with his works. 

Sinan was the architect of around 360 structures so he became the top manager of construction works of the Ottoman Empire , for nearly 50 years, He worked with a large team of assistants consisting of architects and master builders.

Sinan was known with three major works.

 The first two of these are in Istanbul - Sehzade Mosque (his apprenticeship period work), Süleymaniye Mosque (the work of his qualification stage), and Selimiye Mosque in Edirne the product of his master stage.Mimar Sinan has reached his artistic summit at Selimiye.
