Yahya is a faculty of pharmacy student who is trying to help his family evacuate. After their home was destroyed, they have faced displacement, hunger and harsh conditions, as well as his father suffering from several chronic health conditions like diabetes and heart disease. And now, their tent has been destroyed by a storm, leading them to have no place to sleep.

Please, if you can, donate to this family, they are dangerously low on funds (€3,340 out of €50 000 goal). And if you can't, share this as much as possible

If you show me proof of donation, you can get a drawing from me! More info on that here

Little girl teaching her cats how to draw a flower 

*baby voice* “… and if you have any questions, just ask me! And now… yeah. And now you draw the roots. You draw them all twisted up! Got it? A flower? Now draw it. Did you get it, Luis Roberto? Did you get it, Jurandir? Look. Did you get it? That’s how you draw a flower.”

Classic ghost movies include Sixth Sense, The Shining, Ringu or The Ring, Poltergeist, Paranormal Activity, The Amityville Horror.

MY personal favorites:

- I am always repping Pulse (2001, not the 2006 version). It’s a weird, artsy Japanese horror movie about a virus spreading over the internet that makes people kill themselves. It’s moody and tense and mournful, rather than shocking or terrifying, although it does have one of the scariest scenes I’ve ever seen. It was made in 2001 and the portrayal of the internet is so dated to that time. A lot of the movie feels rooted in speculation about what the internet could become and the danger it might pose. 10/10 I love it.

- Lake Mungo. A found footage/mockumentary about a the aftermath of a girl accidentally drowning in a lake. Strange, ghostly things start happening and her family tries to unravel what was happening to the girl prior to her death. It’s really really good.

- Hell House LLC. This is just a fun, gory romp. Also found footage, about a group of friends being dumb and exploring a haunted house attraction that a dozen people died in on opening night. Really delightful!

Tens of thousands of years ago people foraged and hunted for their food and ate whatever they could. Among their forage were wild cereals, which included the ancestors of modern cultivated wheat, barley and others.

People like sweet things. Grains are starchy, but if sprouted they start converting those starches to sugars, so people would've left grains in water to sprout. These sprouts are also easier to digest, thus more nutritious, which bestowed an invisible advantage on those sprouting their grains.

If grains are left in water too long, however, they begin to ferment. Alcohol is produced. People like alcohol.

In ancient Mesopotamia the fermented grains were experimented with, resulting in an early form of beer. The process of making that beer was quite complicated and involved a combination of sprouted and mashed grains.

People wanted beer all year round, but early beers did not have long shelf lives and the grain could only be harvested at certain times. So the ancient Mesopotamians invented a way of storing the ingredients for beer.

It was made of the grain mash, honey, dates and spices that were fermented to make beer. For storage, prior to fermentation, the mixture was baked dry, cut into smaller pieces and baked again to remove all water. This produced bapir, a product very much like biscotti, which could be stored for later rehydration and fermentation. Sometimes it was eaten instead.

I've made bapir, and I've eaten it. It is brittle but delicious. It's also a form of unleavened bread.

Bread was invented as a way to store the ingredients for beer, which was most likely a development from a chance discovery. Leavened bread (that is, with bubbles) may well have been discovered when a mixture like that for bapir was accidentally allowed to ferment before baking. Yeast is responsible for both alcohol production and leavening.

I need to save everything I can before Friday! (173/800$) pls boost
