<p>One hundred feet below London’s streets is the world’s first underground <a href="http://www.trueactivist.com/gab_gallery/feeding-9-billion-vertical-farming/" target="_blank">farm</a>. A renovated World War II air raid shelter was chosen as the perfect location by Steve Dring and Richard Ballard from <a href="http://www.zerocarbonfood.co.uk/" target="_blank">Zero</a> Carbon Food, who wanted to grow leafy greens and salads in a <a href="http://www.trueactivist.com/james-cameron-built-a-giant-solar-garden-for-his-wifes-sustainable-school/" target="_blank">sustainable</a> and innovative way. The <a href="http://www.trueactivist.com/new-school-in-vietnam-has-massive-garden-on-its-roof-and-teaches-sustainability/" target="_blank">farm</a> is in South West London and uses hydroponic LEDs, which are in turn powered by wind turbines. Zero Carbon Food will start trading to restaurants this month.</p>
<p>The tunnel system, built during WW2 to protect citizens from <a href="http://www.trueactivist.com/in-germany-elder-residents-deliver-your-vegetables-on-bicycles/" target="_blank">German</a> air raids, is rather creepy. But its location in the heart of the city means there are many advantages. Writing on their <a href="http://growing-underground.com/" target="_blank">website</a>, the entrepreneurs highlight a few:</p>
<p>‘The immediate benefit for Londoners is reduced food waste through increased shelf-life, bringing employment to inner cities and helping to achieve the reduction in the carbon footprint of the capital. The wider benefits are that our system uses 70% less <a href="http://www.trueactivist.com/how-much-water-do-you-eat-interesting-infographic-breaks-it-down/" target="_blank">water</a> versus traditional open-field <a href="http://www.trueactivist.com/how-sustainable-farming-could-feed-3-billion-more-people/" target="_blank">farming</a> methods, year round production negates seasonality and therefore the necessity to import produce, drastically reducing food miles for retailers and consumers. In addition to this the crops are free from pesticides.’</p>
<p>Wow. Could transforming underground bunkers into functional <a href="http://www.trueactivist.com/the-low-cost-innovation-of-vertical-farming/" target="_blank">farms</a> be a genius space-saving solution to the future food problems we face? Tell us if you know of any other awesome farming <a href="http://www.trueactivist.com/solar-powered-floating-farm-could-provide-9855-tons-of-food-per-year/" target="_blank">projects</a> in other parts of the world!</p>

<p>These outdoor playgrounds have been popping up in Spain that allows older folks to have a bit of fun.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.pri.org/stories/2014-04-01/playgrounds-are-big-hit-spains-elder-set" target="_blank">Public Radio International</a> shared the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4tziIhuTB1M" target="_blank">video</a> above about playgrounds for senior citizens.</p>
<blockquote readability="9">
<p>“It’ is very social,” says Paz Vidal, a physical therapist. “[We] want to break the myth of the old person coming to the park and just sitting while grandkids play. And then going home. Kids can also have fun here. The parks help create family cohesion. And it’s intergenerational.”</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Not only do they provide a place for folks to enjoy physical activity, they also offer an opportunity for socializing.</p>

NASA’s curiosity rover has found a pyramid on Mars

<p><img alt="Image" class="" height="330" src="https://lifes-flower.s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/z9blsypsyvi/7dlp9ie9afw29.jpg" width="496" />Is this the ultimate evidence that ancient civilizations inhabited the red planet in the distant past? NASA’s curiosity rover has photographed on of the most interesting images of the surface of Mars ever since it touched down on the red planet in 2012. <i>Curiosity</i> was launched from Cape Canaveral on November 26, 2011, at 10:02 EST aboard the MSL spacecraft and landed on Aeolis Palus in Gale Crater on Mars on August 6, 2012</p>
<p>You can check out the RAW image of the pyramid <a href="http://mars.nasa.gov/msl/multimedia/raw/?rawid=0978MR0043250040502821E01_DXXX&s=978">here</a>.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.ancient-code.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/Screen-Shot-2015-06-23-at-13.24.48.png"><img alt="Screen Shot 2015-06-23 at 13.24.48" class="aligncenter wp-image-11070" height="375" src="http://www.ancient-code.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/Screen-Shot-2015-06-23-at-13.24.48.png" width="488" /></a></p>
<p>Ufologists and researchers have already started speculating what this artifact is and according to many it might actually be the cornerstone of a much larger pyramid buried under the Martian sand. Even though many pope suggest that this is just another coincidental rock formation of the red planet, others believe that the perfect geometry of the structure suggest it is an artificially created construction and is not in any way <em>Pareidolia</em> or tricks of light and shadow.</p>
<p><iframe width="500" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/szw9OvJzsp8" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></p>
<p>Is this pyramid among the clearest photographic evidence that points toward the existence of artificial structures on Mars built by an earlier civilization? many believe yes.</p>
<p>The “perfect” symmetry of the structure is outstanding and the “pyramid” stands out from the rest of the Martian rocks. The angles and lines of the pyramid are believed to be a telltale sign that differentiates a natural formation from a manmade one.<br />
image was taken by Curiosity rover’s Mastcam on Sol 978, May 7th on Earth.</p>
<p>Despite the remarkable symmetry of the pyramid, none of the Curiosity rover’s subsequent pictures taken at intervals a couple of minutes or hours include the mysterious Martian Pyramid. It seems that the team in charge of Curiosity deliberately chose not to zoom into the mysterious object on the martian surface for further imagery. If they did in fact take more images of the Mysterious “martian pyramid” these were not released to the general public.</p>
<p>Many believe that we have not seen everything what actually happens on the Red Planet. Former NASA employees have come forward suggesting that the agency operates under a veil of secrecy and much of what happens on the red planet has remained as highly confidential information that has been kept secret in a very tight circle inside the agency.</p>
<p>Lately there have been many important discoveries on Mars which could point to the existence of life on the red planet in the distant past.</p>
<p>Is it possible that this “newly discovered” pyramid is the crucial piece of evidence that has missed all along? Is it possible that the Pyramid is in fact the product of extraterrestrial civilizations on the red planet in the distant past? Many suggest that the evidence of intelligent life on the red planet has been abundant, yet we all have decided to ignore it for some reason.</p>
<p>Will the discovery of a pyramid on Mars wake interest of other researchers? Will it change the way we look at the red planet? There are many questions surrounding the red planet that have yet to be answered, now, one of these questions surely is, if this mysterious structure that clearly resembles the great pyramid of Giza, is the product of ancient civilizations present on the red planet</p>

CEO Ellen Pao oversaw the transition, and became infamous among Reddit users for enacting strict policies that limited the freedom of the website. Due to the controversy that she helped to create, Pao was forced to resign last week, a move that has been celebrated by thousands of Reddit users.</div>

It is unsure whether or not Pao’s resignation will actually bring Reddit back to its former glory, but luckily there are already people working on alternatives that promise to create the experience that Reddit was originally designed to provide.</div>

<div style="padding: 0.5em 0px;">
“Each user has an app, the reddit app, which connects to the reddit p2p network. For most users, the app is a normal web app. Each user funds their own app with a small amount of bitcoin.

Exclusive: Greece’s Varoufakis Set To Blow Whistle On Germany’s Worrying Plan For Europe

The plot thickens: Greece's outed ex-Finance Minister claims Germany planned Greek exit from the start<br />
<br />
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="420" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/yFSGdVb_P8E" width="750"></iframe>

In an article due to be published in popular German newspaper <em>Die Zeit</em> this coming Thursday, <a href="http://www.trueactivist.com/decentralized-currencies-thriving-in-greece-during-euro-crisis/" target="_blank">Greek</a> ex-Finance Minister Yanis <a href="http://www.trueactivist.com/greek-ex-finance-minister-owns-german-politician-on-solution-to-eurozone-crisis/" target="_blank">Varoufakis</a> will accuse Germany of hiding the truth about its real aims for Europe, and say his country’s exit from the single currency is all part of a plan hatched a long time ago to ‘discipline’ countries who do not do as they are told. Varoufakis has written an op-ed in order to address Germany’s citizens directly. He will name German Finance Minister Dr. Wolfgang Schäuble as the man behind a conspiracy to re-structure the Eurozone in a way which favors banks over citizens and plutocracy over democracy.<br />
First, a short summary of recent events (you can read the full back story <a href="http://www.trueactivist.com/cause-for-celebration-greece-just-told-the-bankers-to-stick-their-loans-and-austerity/" target="_blank">here</a>): Yanis <a href="http://www.trueactivist.com/greek-ex-finance-minister-media-is-guilty-of-terrorism-elite-think-democracy-is-irrelevant/" target="_blank">Varoufakis</a> was forced out of office earlier this month after his party Syriza called a referendum, asking the people of <a href="http://www.trueactivist.com/with-all-eyes-on-greece-the-stock-market-in-china-may-be-crashing/" target="_blank">Greece</a> whether they wanted to stay in the Eurozone (meaning more debt and more austerity) or say no to more <a href="http://www.trueactivist.com/an-alternative-solution-to-greek-crisis-man-sets-up-crowdfunding-campaign-to-pay-back-countrys-debt/" target="_blank">bailout</a> funds and face the consequences. The <a href="http://www.trueactivist.com/greece-what-you-are-not-being-told-by-the-media/" target="_blank">Greek</a> people, tired of economic suffering at the hands of European bankers, voted against austerity and further cash injections from the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_troika" target="_blank">Troika</a> (the EC, ECB and IMF). This result was something which Varoufakis and Prime Minister Alexis Tspiras considered a victory-  and yet hours later, Varoufakis had resigned, <a href="http://www.trueactivist.com/cause-for-celebration-greece-just-told-the-bankers-to-stick-their-loans-and-austerity/" target="_blank">claiming</a> that powerful figures within the Eurozone had refused to negotiate with Greece further while he was in office.<br />
As an economist and a socialist who spoke passionately and intelligently on behalf of Greece’s weary citzens, Varoufakis was feared and loathed by bankers (but defiantly, he <a href="http://www.trueactivist.com/cause-for-celebration-greece-just-told-the-bankers-to-stick-their-loans-and-austerity/" target="_blank">said</a> he would wear their contempt “with pride”.) Now, just days before the German article goes to press, Varoufakis <a href="http://yanisvaroufakis.eu/2015/07/13/dr-schaubles-plan-for-europe-do-europeans-approve-article-to-appear-in-die-zeit-on-thursday-16th-july-2015/" target="_blank">explains</a> on his blog:<br />
‘Five months of intense negotiations between <a href="http://www.trueactivist.com/10-very-strange-things-that-have-happened-in-just-the-past-few-weeks/" target="_blank">Greece</a> and the Eurogroup never had a chance of success. Condemned to lead to impasse, their purpose was to pave the ground for what Dr Schäuble had decided was ‘optimal’ well before our government was even elected: That <a href="http://www.trueactivist.com/economic-collapse-in-greece-is-finally-sinking-into-the-consciousness-of-its-citizens/" target="_blank">Greece</a> should be eased out of the Eurozone in order to discipline member-states resisting his very specific plan for re-structuring the Eurozone.’<br />
More importantly, Varoufakis claims that Dr Schäuble told him directly that Greece’s exit (commonly known as ‘Grexit’) was part of this long term vision for Europe, and ‘this was the plan well before people’s party Syriza came to power in <a href="http://www.trueactivist.com/greek-prime-minister-says-imf-has-criminal-responsibility-for-countrys-debt-crisis/" target="_blank">Greece</a>‘.<br />
Varoufakis wants to make it clear that people understand his position: ‘I wrote this article <strong>not</strong> as a Greek politician critical of the German press’ denigration of our sensible proposals, of Berlin’s refusal seriously to consider our moderate debt re-profiling plan, of the European Central Bank’s highly political decision to asphyxiate our government, of the Eurogroup’s decision to give the ECB the green light to shut down our banks’, he says, thinly masking his feelings on these critical issues. ‘I wrote this article as a European observing the unfolding of a <em>particular</em> Plan for Europe – Dr Schäuble’s Plan.’<br />
An update with key points from the translated <em>Die Zeit</em> article will be added on Thursday as Varoufakis’s op-ed breaks.<br />
The above Financial Times video from February this year documents a meeting between Schäuble and Varoufakis. The reporter notes how Schäuble has been “from the outset very hostile to attempts by Athens to re-write and scrap the existing agreement and to look for something new.” The two men were never going to agree: but now Varoufakis is out of the picture and Greece’s PM Tspiras has suddenly <a href="http://www.cnbc.com/2015/02/23/greek-anger-at-government-u-turn.html" target="_blank">made</a> a shocking U-turn on the referendum result (making huge concessions to Schäuble in what the Greek people have called “treason”), does this spell the end for people-powered politics in Greece?<br />

Half-buried in the sand on Enewetak Atoll sits a giant concrete dome called Runit Dome. Locals know it as The Tomb. It has an ominous, eerie look to it, out of place in the beautiful surroundings of a tropical island. Here lies the US military’s <a href="http://www.trueactivist.com/you-wont-believe-the-truth-about-fukushima-the-japanese-government-is-hiding-from-the-world/" style="background: 0px 0px; border-radius: 0px !important; box-sizing: border-box; color: #c10000; outline: 0px; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">radioactive</a> <a href="http://www.trueactivist.com/this-video-is-shocking-the-entire-world-everyone-needs-to-see-this/" style="background: 0px 0px; border-radius: 0px !important; box-sizing: border-box; color: #c10000; outline: 0px; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">plutonium</a>, buried inside a cement dome at sea level.</div>

In 1979, the nuclear waste was mixed with <a href="http://www.trueactivist.com/could-we-turn-nuclear-waste-into-a-powerful-source-of-clean-energy-this-woman-has-a-genius-idea/" style="background: 0px 0px; border-radius: 0px !important; box-sizing: border-box; color: #c10000; outline: 0px; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">contaminated</a> soil from the island and tipped into a 350-foot-deep crater. This was then topped with concrete, and abandoned. Scientists are now warning that rising sea levels caused by climate change could cause 111,000 cubic yards of <a href="http://www.trueactivist.com/a-single-piece-of-radioactive-food-is-comparable-to-hundreds-of-x-rays/" style="background: 0px 0px; border-radius: 0px !important; box-sizing: border-box; color: #c10000; outline: 0px; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">radioactive</a> waste to spill into the ocean. It’s not a question of <em style="border-radius: 0px !important; box-sizing: border-box;">if</em>, it’s just a question of when.</div>

In 1983, the Marshallese signed a deal with the USA which (among other things) left this small government in charge of The Tomb. They simply can’t afford the millions of dollars needed to deal with the USA’s mess, so for now, there is no easy solution in sight. This short video from the <a href="http://thegroundtruthproject.org/" style="background: 0px 0px; border-radius: 0px !important; box-sizing: border-box; color: #c10000; outline: 0px; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">GroundTruth</a> project in collaboration with the <a href="http://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/jul/03/runit-dome-pacific-radioactive-waste" style="background: 0px 0px; border-radius: 0px !important; box-sizing: border-box; color: #c10000; outline: 0px; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Guardian</a> introduces this shocking issue.
