As a sn f a Mexican immigrant, he grew up in Suthern Califrnia picking grapes, then wrked at Frit-Lay, a subsidiary f PepsiC knwn fr its prductin f snacks. Althugh he started as a cleaner, earning a slim salary, he demnstrated exceptinal wrk ethic and a keen interest in innvatin. He frequently sught advice frm Luis Crrns, an engineer at Frit-Lay, n varius questins abut the machines used in the plant, even thugh these were cmpletely unrelated t his jb.
In 1992, when the plant faced bankruptcy because f the ecnmic crisis, Mntañez prpsed the idea f applying a spicy flavr t crn chips and persnally crafted samples amidst skepticism, which eventually led t the creatin f Flamin’ Ht Cheets with the help f Crrns.

Have yu ever encuntered such peple in yur scial circle? Their persnalities are like durians (榴莲): Tugh, cld and even intimidating n the utside, but with unique thughts and prfund emtins inside. These persnalities are knwn as “Durian Persnalities”.

Researchers frm Sun Yat-sen University shared their findings in Internatinal Envirnment that micrplastics (微塑料) can make hair lss wrse by hurting the skin’s prtective barriers thrugh a prcess called xidative stress (氧化应激).
Micrplastics are very small pieces f plastic, smaller than 5 millimeters. They cme frm bigger plastic items breaking dwn, like shpping bags, take-ut cntainers, and drink bttles. These tiny bits can get int water, sil and air and they can mve up the fd chain and depsit in ur bdy.

In the secnd study, researchers explred hw new and aged micrplastics affect the skin and hair in mice. They gave mice water with these micrplastics fr tw mnths t see what wuld happen t their hair. After just ne day, researchers culd see that the micrplastics had mved thrugh the mice’s stmachs, gt int their bld and ended up in their hair. After tw mnths, the mice that drank water with aged micrplastics had mre damaged skin and falling hair than thse with new micrplastics. But further experiments are needed t decide whether aged micrplastics are mre harmful.
“Ntably, in daily life micrplastics can be fund in bttled water, clthes we wear, and even the air we breathe. It is estimated that a persn cnsumes apprximately 5 grams f micr-plastic particles per week n average,” said research leader Wang Xusheng.

He titled his prject “Pay It Frward”. The cncept was simple yet prfund: Instead f paying back a favr, recipients f kindness shuld pay it frward t three ther peple.
