How mattresses could solve hunger – BBC News
Syrian refugees at Zaatari camp in Jordan are working with scientists from the University of Sheffield and the UN Refugee Agency to create a way to grow healthy, fresh food with nothing but water and old mattress foam.
These ‘recycled gardens’ use the mattresses in place of the soil, which solves two problems in one: It reuses the mountain of plastic mattresses that have piled up in the camp and it allows everyone to grow fresh food in a crowded, desert environment.
Victoria Gill has been to the camp in Jordan to see how it’s working.
Produced by Vanessa Clarke. Filmed and edited by Stephen Fildes.

Tens of thousands of organisations have been caught out by a computer virus called WannaCry. The malicious software locks data away and demands a payment of up to $300 (£230) a time before it will restore scrambled files. In the UK, many hospitals fell victim and some health organisations diverted ambulances and cancelled non-essential services as they sought to contain and clean up the infection. Infections in more than 99 nations are being reported by security firms. It appears that the hardest hit are Russia and Spain.

A year ago, artificial intelligence was being sold as something close to science fiction — a technology that could transform society, cure disease, even reshape the global economy.
Today, the tone is changing. The companies leading the revolution are racing to the stock market — chasing billions in investment — while quietly confronting a much harder reality: AI is expensive, unpredictable, and far from profitable.
At the same time, some of the very people building this technology are warning we may be going too fast — even calling for a global pause.
And beyond Silicon Valley, a different story is emerging: growing public anxiety, political backlash, and the rise of what some are calling anti-AI populism.
So is AI entering its most pivotal moment yet — caught between financial pressure, technological risk, and political resistance?
AI Decoded Presenter Christian Fraser is joined by Financial Times AI Editor Madhumita Murgia, Thematic Strategist at Deutsche Bank Research Adrian Cox and Richard Coffin, Host of popular investing podcast ‘ The Plain Bagel’.

In Cleveland Ohio, Around 15 years ago there was started a very large co-op a.k.a. worker directed enterprise , hydroponic greenhouse . They grow vegetables and sell to nearby hospitals and universities . There even selling vegetables to the private retail market . The beauty of a co-op is there are no speculating shareholders . Profits go to raw materials, technology and to the workers , from the agronomist down to the janitor and there is less of a wage and salary gap

BBC (British Broadcasting Conspiracy)
Deliberately manufactured virus and the mainstream media scaring you into taking deadly vaccines.
The mainstream media is the fake news.
You do not live on a floating, tilting, spinning, shooting, watery, space ball rock, with upsides down people.
Please wake up and switch the tel-a-lie-a-vision off.
Change the programming and think for yourself!
