Our Purpose
Our intent is to provide you with timely news and resources from the
leading edge of human achievement. The conventional media focuses almost
entirely on individual or collective human failure and dysfunction. While this
represents only a tiny fraction of the human experience, it dominates the media
and therefore molds our individual thoughts and collective consciousness. Since
we know that "form follows thought," it is only logical that as we continue to
collectively focus on failure, we will continue to create more of the same.
The world faces many challenges and it is important to acknowledge these and
deal with them. The conventional press and most of the alternative press are
doing an excellent job of bringing these to our attention.
Our intent is to report on events, activities, achievements, project and
people who represent the highest and best of human endeavor and what we can
achieve, both individually and collectively. We believe that this represents the
true nature of who we are.
Our purpose is not only to inform and inspire, but to provide cross cultural
models from around the world as to what people are doing to solve world problems
and create new options.
Positive News completely shares these aims and objectives with those of GVN.
We see the Global Village as those throughout the world who have seen a vision
of a new era and are dedicated into bringing it into reality.

Positive News was handed the guardianship
of Global Village News and Resources in summer of 2004. Although we would like
to continue to make the archives available to subscribers and readers we would
like to point out that stories published prior to issue 89 were not under our
editorial guidance and would like to make a distinction that these are not
necessarily a reflection of the current opinions of our editorial team.

Ten Million Children Stay In School With The
Help Of ATM Cards
Brazil - Staying in school is the first key to
breaking the cycle of poverty according to Paula Renato, Brazils
Education Minister. To this end, Brazil has initiated a new program
called Bolsa Escola (Grants for School Children) which will harness the
digital power and convenience of ATM cards to provide close to one
billion dollars in small stipends to five million mothers this year.

Emotional Health and Spiritual Wellbeing -
The Endorphin Effect
USA - When the hormones known as endorphins are produced in
the body, they reduce tension and allow the body to absorb the vitality
of nature and the universe. Endorphins, however, are only consistently
produced by particular emotional and mental triggers. When produced,
there is a further range of strategies that are needed to maximize their
effect.

Guest Editorial
The Lesson of Iraq: A New Principle
Dr. Mohamed Mosaad, Cairo, Egypt
mohamedmosaad@hotmail.com
Almost everyone in the Arab world, including myself fears the proposed
US invasion of Iraq, and many ask why the Americans are going to do it.
Why will the United States invade and occupy Iraq? There are many
answers, some are obvious, others are not. Briefly, we can conclude that
US will invade Iraq for two simple reasons. First, US believes it is in
their interest to do this. Second, US is sure that they can do it. Yes,
it is that simple. Whenever the US will feel like invading a country and
is sure nothing will stop them, they will simply send warships to that
country and possibly the bills to a second one. I am not sure Saudi
Arabia will forever have the capacity to pay those bills.

Shalom Center
http://www.shalomctr.org/
The Shalom Center, founded in 1983, brings Jewish spirituality,
tradition, and experience to bear on issues of tikkun olam — pursuing
peace, seeking justice, healing the earth, and building community. Its
director is Rabbi Arthur Waskow. We especially draw on Jewish teachings
about the rhythm of work and rest, doing and being. The modern world has
become so addicted to making, doing, producing, consuming — and so
contemptuous of reflection, community, and love — that this addiction is
endangering both our society and the web of life on earth.

Relationships
Relationship Compatibility Questionaire
http://www.globalideasbank.org
Decisions about who to marry and have children with are likely to have
more effect on future happiness than any other decisions in life, so
they are worth considering as soberly as possible, given that we can be
so easily misled in the first flush of love. About half the following
questions derive from academic research findings about long-term success
and failure in marriage and human relationships. If both you and your
partner are trying this test, it might be diplomatic not to show your
marks on individual items to your partner, but simply to discuss your
final marks together |
