A teacher at an elementary school in South Carolina wanted to help boys who didn't have fathers at home, so he started a "Gentleman's Club" where the boys dress up, learn to shake hands, and be supportive.
He even has extra jackets and ties for the boys who can't afford them.

🔥🚨DEVELOPING: These college students are going viral for creating a GoFundme to send their campus security guard back home to Nigeria to visit his family. The guard emotionally broke down on the floor in from this random kind act.

The first extraction with System 03 this year: 7029 kg of plastic out of the Great Pacific Garbage Patch.
We will use this plastic batch for research back on shore - analyzing every single piece for clues such as bite marks, brands, and production dates. (1/4)
