Somehow, the mass media news appears to be mainly negative or just simply grotesquely sensationalist. To try to add some positivity to the balance, here we have a thread for Positive World News. That title works equally well for "Positive World, News", "Positive, World News", and for "Positive World News" all alike depending on where you want to put or blur the emphasis. We do have a beautiful world amidst the various bits of silliness! Enjoy! Martin See new freedom: Mageia Linux Take a look for yourself: Linux Format The Future is what We all make IT (GPLv3) |

I'll lead the positivity with some guaranteed good thoughtful thoughts: If we had more women leaders, the world would be a safer place: His Holiness the Dalai Lama wrote: Dharamshala, India — “Sometimes I speculate that if we had more women leaders, the world would be a safer place. Look at Finland and New Zealand and the achievements of their women leaders”... Hopefully for our example of "Brexit" for the UK, we are in reality still very much a part of the feelings for Europe regardless of the 'grandstanding' of the present short term politics. We have already enjoyed the first few uninterrupted multiple generations of peace for the first time in recorded history for the largest area across Europe so far in our recorded history. Here's hoping we continue to improve relations across an ever wider area.

I'll lead the positivity with some guaranteed good thoughtful thoughts: Hey! You missed out the historic Maggie Thatcher and the even more historic Queen Victoria, Queen Elizabeth I, Joan of Arc, Boudica, and I'm sure others that history should mention better. There are notable inspirational women making positive change today: 12 Women Leaders That Changed The World In 2020. Note that most leaders carve their name in history for their actions in war and battles and atrocity... I'm sure that His Holiness has chosen his two present day examples with his usual great care and insight for making a positive difference to help and improve our world. The world is how we shape it for ourselves. Be Excellent to one another! Martin See new freedom: Mageia Linux Take a look for yourself: Linux Format The Future is what We all make IT (GPLv3) |

Two very positively inspiring people: I joked elsewhere that Barron will eventually meet her, become enamored with her and ask for her hand in marriage. Capitalize on this good fortune, one word can bring you round ... changes. |

Positive news for Northern Ireland That looks and sounds like good but difficult poilitics in action. Also, far better than the poisoned rhetoric of "talks about 'talks'" of the past. To note some snippets: If there is a leadership contest, it will be the first in the DUP's 50-year history. The real positive news is if all parties concerned can finally bury the hatchets of tribalism and conflict and vendettas of old and instead look forwards to new and better things equally. Here's hoping for that part of the world to move up to better times! Be excellent to one another!

Still on an out of this world theme, we have this beauty: Nasa craft carrying 4.5bn-year-old asteroid dust begins long trek home wrote: A time capsule containing a sample of rock and dirt as old as the Solar System will drop from outer space into the Utah desert on 24 September 2023. Fantastic results from a dedicated team of scientists and engineers spanning decades here on earth to put that epic trek in motion! Totally tremendous for what a dedicated group can achieve...

For some fun musical positivity, we have: Black Score: "4K" - Exactly 4 Million Notes ... MIDI ~ TheSuperMarioBros2 Headphones required to appreciate that one! So, that uses the old computer MIDI 'list of notes' that are then played. In this example, LOTs of 'em! And then for fun, we have this extreme example: 10 MIDI AUDIO ILLUSIONS - Can You Guess ALL the Songs? For me, Number 5 is the most recognizable. Regardless, that is just tremendous! Crazy abuse of MIDI and a crazy example of where the MIDI file for that must be silly larger than the resultant audio file!! Enjoy!

When everyday people form a community with a common purpose: The art of campaigning - Skerningham Woodland wrote: Amid acres of untouched woodland ... It’s not surprising that when a housing development was proposed in Skerningham Woods, the local community of Darlington mobilised... I still find it strange that 'developers' blindly destroy the very thing that brings those self same developers into destroy an area in the first place... Green grass and trees and natural wildlife, or a desert of tarmac and bricks?... It really is our choice. There are far better ways... As demonstrated! Enjoy the natural world around you!
