Inspirational and good news.
Jordan’s Parliament has recently decided to reject a bill that would have given American troops immunity from prosecution by the International Criminal Court. Jordan was concerned that their sovereignty would be comprised by agreeing to America’s demands. 100 countries had signed immunity agreements with the USA.
Jordan has made a smart decision because the International Criminal Court is a institution with great potential, and all countries should respect it.
As this site continues to grow things keep getting added. It all makes so much sense.
So new to the site is a feature called “Great News” that will record the best of the good news that is posted here. Also added is a press area to let the media know neat stuff that isn’t fit for the About Us page. The press page will also keep track of things written about ThingsAreGood.com.
It seems that the movie Back to the Future accurately predicted that cars will be powered by rubbish. NPR has a story posted on their website about an international contest to make a car run using a chemical reaction for a lengthy 16.5 meters.
Students from Oklahoma won the prize.
A question that is rarely asked got answered recently:
What’s the best way to perform research in Antarctica?
The answer is to do it on skis.
A new research base will be elevated on skis so it can be moved around and allow the researchers sunlight (when it shines) because a major complaint from researchers was the lack of sun. It will also have some solar panels. It is a modular design to allow for quick construction, and I assume it would be easy to add new modules as things get better.
