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.
In The News…
Welsh Centre Provides International
Model In Sustainable Living
United Kingdom - When Gerard Morgan-Grenville started the
Centre for Alternative Technology in the seventies his aim was to prove
that a community could live sustainably, not harming the environment,
working in partnership with it, using alternative technologies such as
renewable energy, organic gardening and green building techniques. When
he found the disused slate quarry near Machynlleth in Mid Wales he
persuaded the owners to let it to him for a nominal rent. A community
began and in the first few years grew rapidly, attracting green
idealists from Wales and the rest of the UK.

Guest Editorial
We've "Won" The War. What's Next?
Johann Christoph Arnold
The United States has now "won" the war against Hussein's regime
in Iraq. The President's prediction that it would be a piece of cake
has been proved largely right, and many say we should be thankful
for his leadership. Indeed, from a military perspective, it was a
stunning victory-the result of years of careful war planning by the
Pentagon, and by hi-tech weaponry so lethal and advanced that the
Iraqis had simply no chance, especially after twelve years of
economic sanctions that prevented them from rebuilding their
military after the First Gulf War.

Health
Optimal Breathing
www.breathing.com
Lung volume (FEV1) is the primary marker for how long you will
live.Heart attacks, cancer, strokes, pneumonia, asthma, speech problems
and almost every disease known to mankind is worsened or improved by how
well you breathe; the quality of your respiration. The average person
reaches peak respiratory function and lung capacity in their mid 20's.
Then they begin to loose respiratory capacity: between 10% and 27% for
every decade of life! However you can do something right to maintain or
improve your breathing capacity, instead of letting it decline.
