The girl on the left is Tinyia Frank.

While shopping at the mall, she noticed a little boy walk into CHAMPS with his father and ask about basketball shoes.

Her ears perked up after the boy asked if they had any pairs under $75. Of course, the worker said no and the little boy’s face DROPPED. The father told him he just couldn’t afford it.

Tinyia interrupted and asked the boy his name and what he needed the shoes for.

It turns out he's on a basketball team and was hoping for new shoes so he could wear them on the court.

Tinyia told him if that if he sent her a picture of him at his game she’d buy him whatever shoes he wanted.

As he walked out with his brand new Nike Lebrons, both the boy and his father were near tears.

There are certainly good people in the world.

Thank you Tinyia. 💙

Failure is an event, even an incident, not an identity. It can be a learning event too.

Success too is not an identity.

Its that time of the semester when I need to decide whether I should give grades “as is” or adjust so that fewer would fail.

The ICRC, in partnership with APJIHL, invites scholars from countries in South Asia and Iran to submit their papers for the 8th Advanced International Humanitarian Law South Asian Academics Platform (AISAAP).

I wonder if it is common for academics to feel bad about all the time spent grading papers, considering that all that time could’ve been spent researching and writing instead.

Sarthak Roy explains that Commissions of Inquiry have considerably strengthened international law protection to combat mass atrocities.
