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.

New Evidence Shows Antarctic Ice
Cap Thickening
Antarctica - According to new satellite measurements the Ross
ice cap of Antarctica is thickening, reversing earlier estimates of it
melting. Scientists concerned about global warming had worried higher
temperatures could melt the massive ice sheet, causing a rise in sea
levels.

Evidence Suggests That Early Man
Won By Love Not War
USA - Well, perhaps it was just sex and not really love. We
don't have a convenient record of the social/emotional history of
early homo sapiens. However, a new genetic survey has found evidence
suggesting that early man conquered other populations by mating with
them rather than competition.

Cyber Sales Offers Hope To Coffee
Farmers
KENYA - Coffee is Kenya's fourth-largest earner of foreign
exchange, so when coffee is in trouble, Kenya is in trouble.
Americans are paying up to $4 a pop at Starbucks for a latte made of
Kenya's finest arabica coffee while farmers in Kenya have been
uprooting trees because there was no money in the crop.
 Something
was wrong with this picture, and Titus Gitau, a 34-year-old Kenyan
entrepreneur, got it. It was the lack of demand, which was high in
the USA, Europe and Japan. It was the distribution system in which
all the profit was eaten by the many levels of middlemen. Working
with the Specialty Coffee Association of America, the two helped set
up the East African Fine Coffee Association and held their first
on-line coffee auction in April 2002 on
Africanlion.com.

Science & Technology
Alternative Energy Institute
www.altenergy.org
A plethora of potential alternative energy technologies seem just out of
reach these days. The theories behind some of these "new" forms of
energy production have been around for a long time and have historically
met considerable opposition from traditional science and engineering.
They still do today. The most common arguments against investigation of
these new energy forms center around one of two important principles of
physics. The first is conservation of energy in closed systems and the
second is the current model of the nuclei of atoms, in particular
hydrogen.
