Daily Good News 26: Donations for Toys for Tots; Predicting the Next Global Epidemic
It’s Friday and you know what that means. At least I hope you do because I have no freaking idea. What I do know is that I have some good news for you. So come on in and take a seat. It’s gonna be a bumpy ride.
First we have some odd news that, if things work out, would be in the good news category. Scientists appear to have found a way to predict global epidemics. This can lead to stopping serious diseases from spreading too far and out of control. The link has an awful lot of pictures. SO MANY PICTURES.
And then, a pod full of toys for the Toys for Tots organization was broken into and emptied. So, the local community came together and have sent in donations of toys.
The Danvers Fire Department, which annually collects Toys For Tots with a drop-off spot at the High Street station, went into action. Firefighters and a fire engine showed up at Walmart on Saturday and Sunday collecting donated toys. And they went around the town picking up donations from several locations, including the Police Station on Ash Street, where people had left a growing mountain of donations.
That’s just one instance of donations collected. More in the link, y’all!
See ya!
*realizes he can’t see he viewers*
Uh…farewell!

Daily Good News 25: 5 Year Old Hailed As Hero, Drug Takes Out Leukemia, and Man Keeps Burn Victim Alive
My new blog, Dante’s Funny World, as I expected, is performing very well for its first three days. It’s hitting milestones that DALANEL just hit this year. Yeah. However, with DALANEL making some changes, I’m hoping that it can keep up. But, head on over there if you want to laugh. I won’t be mentioning that blog all that often though. Anyway, it’s time for some good news. Are ya ready? Let’s dive in!
In many cases, that’s true.
Daily Good News 24: Car Accident Saves Man, and Celebrities Help Philippines
It’s time for another round of the good news. DGN is performing nicely. I can’t wait to see how far it goes once I’m done with it.
Daily Good News 23: Advancement in Solar Power, A Man Stops A Robbery, and A Teen Inventor Goes Global
I’m getting more organized, here. Okay, so, good news will come in categories. You’ll have a hero type story. Another story will be able a charitable move. Perhaps one will be helpful Samaritan type. You get the latest on the medical and technical advancements. More of a newsletter type thing. I’m constantly making tweaks and researching ideas and such.
And now, here’s the latest good and positive news.
First, a hero. A man witnessed an elderly woman be robbed and decided to do something about it. This is one of those stories where, it’s great he helped, but, what if the suspect was armed? Dangerous? Still, he felt he could do something, and he did:
Shifflet said he was driving along the 200 block of South Douglas Road at about 8:45 a.m. when he saw the woman walking along the sidewalk and noticed Miller coming toward her.
“I don’t know if he punched her in the shoulder or hit her in the shoulder to knock her off balance,” Shifflet said. “He grabbed her bag, she fell to the ground, and he dragged her for a couple of feet.”
With the woman’s purse in hand, Miller jumped into the waiting Malibu. That’s when Shifflet used his Honey Do’s Home Repair work truck and trailer to block the driveway, Shifflet said.
The story takes a speciousness turn with this:
Miller got out of the Malibu, ran back to the woman, returned her bag, told her he did it on a dare and took off running, Shifflet said.
Eeehhhh…I’m not feeling that.
Indians have developed a way to lower the cost of solar power.
“A simple and economical way of processing to fabricate graphene-based solar cell has been developed by our scientists,” Gujarat Energy and Research Management Institute (GERMI) Director T Harinarayana said.
“Graphene, a single layer of carbon atoms arranged in a hexagonal lattice, has many novel properties that attracted researchers around the world. High electrical conductivity (better than copper) and very high (90%) transparency makes graphene an ideal material for fabrication of transparent and current spreading electrodes,” GERMI said in a research paper.
This is great for people that want to go green, but simply can’t afford to yet.
Lastly, a teen has invented a simpler and safer way to deal with kindling.
The Kindling Cracker operates by tapping wood with a mallet onto a stationary blade that splits it. It requires less force to split wood than using an axe and is suitable for all ages, and for people with arthritis and other disabilities.
Her invention has been a hit and many folks from around the world are interested in this. And her family is helping her along the way.
Awesome stuff.
Don’t forget to Share Your Story. If you have good news you want to share, I would love to hear it. It doesn’t matter how small you may think it is, I would prefer hearing from my readers vs going out in the internet searching. It just feels more personal to me.

Daily Good News 22: Fighting the cancer tumors, Men save man from being hit by train, plus more!
It’s Monday and I hope you like the new look for DALANEL. There’s a poll asking which one you prefer: This one or the previous one. You already wasn’t feeling the previous one, so, I hope this is more to your liking.
Let’s get this round of good news started!
Indeed. Our first story is something you either agree with or not. A man went into a diner, reached into the tip jar, and grabbed what he could. Then he left. His face is clear in the surveillance camera. But, instead of going after him, the diner decided to host a food drive for him:
