Retired Colonel Ken Grundborg was unable to attend two graduation ceremonies at Georgia Tech due to active military service. Today, he walked across the stage at 88-years old. Grundborg earned his bachelor’s degree in 1960 and his master’s in 1966 — both in civil engineering. He missed his ceremony when the U.S. Army called him to serve his country. He spent 20 years with the Army Corps of Engineers, also serving in the 82nd Airborne Division, the Rangers, and the Pathfinders. He earned a Bronze Star Medal, Legion of Merit, and Ranger Tab. Congratulations Ken! We’re glad you finally made it! 💛🎓🐝 🇺🇸 #GT26 #RamblinOn

A retired World War II veteran broke traditional military protocol to ask his newly commissioned granddaughter for a hug. During a 2013 ceremony at the National Museum of the Marine Corps in the United States, Second Lieutenant Charlotte Williams received her ceremonial first salute from her grandfather, retired Staff Sergeant James Williams. After delivering a perfectly sharp salute to his higher ranking granddaughter, the veteran went slightly off script. He formally requested permission to embrace her. When she immediately granted it, the two hugged as the surrounding crowd erupted into applause.

Alexander Lukashenko stated that he didn't expect a biotechnologist to appear in his family, but he's glad that his son received such a diploma from Peking University. "To be honest, I didn't expect a biotechnologist to appear in my family. Often, without understanding, I used to say, 'You're the president's son', but today I'm glad that it's in biology that his journey begins, not just his, but also these five guys plus the 20 in Belarus," said the Belarusian leader at the diploma ceremony for graduates of a joint educational program between the Belarusian State University and Peking University. That's why he went to Beijing. And you were just guessing.

This man goes out to lunch with a couple of friends and runs into a waitress who recognized him from almost a decade earlier. Back then, during Thanksgiving, he had stepped in to help her and her mom when their EBT card didn’t work at the grocery store. Not only did he pay for their food, but he also made sure the little girl got the Sweet Tart roll she had been wanting — telling her, “Every little girl should have something special during the holidays.” Years later, that small act of kindness had stayed with her. Her mom had since passed away from breast cancer, but she never forgot what he did. She ended up comping their entire lunch that day — and his friend left her a $300 tip. The smallest acts of kindness can ripple through someone’s life for years in ways we may never know. Have you ever had someone do something kind for you that you still think about years later?

He is WB Govt Minister Manas Bhuniya. Now listen to what he is saying ! He is threatening ordinary students at the 'Freshers’ Welcome' programme at Sabang Sajanikanta Mahavidyalaya! Not only that, during the programme, he made sarcastic remarks about the “standard” of the professors because, at another college’s freshers’ event he had attended earlier, students were made to stand in the sun with folded hands to welcome him—even though he arrived two hours late. Since that did not happen at this college, he started threatening the authorities with transfer. He then openly threatened students for leaving to have food instead of listening to his speech. At one point, he even pointed directly at a girl student for smiling and warned her publicly. The situation escalated further when he called a student to the front of the stage and forced him to delete a video from his phone. He also instructed that students’ phones be checked to identify who had recorded his threatening speech !

Cape Town: A heavily pregnant young woman secretly recorded her abusive ex-boyfriend holding her against her will. She pleaded with him to let her go to the hospital, but he refused, insisting that she was not sick, despite her experiencing sharp pains in her stomach. In a second video, the alleged abuser's best friend tried to talk to him, but the man ignored him. Instead, he became angry and began swearing at his friend, who was only attempting to offer advice. Realizing he was in trouble, the bastard packed his bags and left. Witnesses reported seeing the man with friends today around 4 p.m., drinking in a car in Khayelitsha after he pretended to be going to Johannesburg to evade law enforcement. The police are actively searching for him.

Japanese pianist Toshiko Akiyoshi performing “The Village” live in 1965. Akiyoshi’s Japanese heritage is distinctly present in her music and sets her compositions apart from other jazz musicians. She composed using Japanese themes, harmonies, and instruments (kotsuzumi, kakko, utai, tsugaru shamisen). But her music remained planted firmly in jazz, reflecting influences from Duke Ellington, Charles Mingus, and Bud Powell. She was discovered by Oscar Peterson when he toured Japan. Peterson convinced his producer Norman Granz to record her, making her the first Japanese musician to be recorded by an American label. The album “Toshiko’s Piano” was released in 1954. That album and Peterson’s support led to an offer of a full scholarship at Berklee School of Music. Toshiko moved to Boston in 1956, and became the first Japanese student at Berklee. She has received fourteen Grammy Award nominations and was the first woman to win Best Arranger and Composer awards in Down Beat magazine’s annual Readers’ Poll.

It looks to me like that guy was just protecting the lady with a backpack, when he was pepper sprayed at first. That is when he got tackled by the agents, and dragged back onto the street. Here it is zoomed in, and @ 50% speed. Much easier to see it this way. He clearly did not undertake any offensive action towards the agents at all. The most he did was to raise his left hand, protecting himself from the pepper spray. The lady with a back pack also seems to be getting back onto the street. but only because the guy was holding her by the hood of her jacket. So, when got pulled back onto the street, she also got pulled out with him.

WOW! Mary L Trump tells American Exchange that Trump's father (her grandfather) had Alzheimer's disease around the same age as Donald Trump is now, but he was much healthier than Donald is. "Yeah, my grandfather had Alzheimer's starting when he was probably around the same age. And he had it for a long time and it was a gradual thing. Then it became very obvious very quickly in his early eighties that, you know, all was not well. The difference is that Donald is an infinitely less healthy person. My grandfather was a pretty healthy human. He didn't have any vices to speak of. He was a physically strong guy, never sick a day in his life. Donald, on the other hand, is, you know, it's a terrible diet. He drinks 12 Diet Cokes today. He doesn't sleep at night. Yeah. So I guess he's making up for it. And who knows what else is going on with him? We can only guess because clearly the White House constantly lies to us."

Arvind Kumar, a resident of Uttar Pradesh, secretly recorded a video from inside his car of a Muslim female student who was standing by the roadside waiting for her vehicle or guardian, without her knowledge. After this, he posted three video clips of that student on his Instagram account @/arvindmaurya7989 by adding obscene Bhojpuri songs in the background. This is not only a violation of her privacy, but this behavior also raises serious concerns related to stalking (following/monitoring). Additionally, it is also a serious matter for her safety and dignity.
