Yacouba Sawadogo is an exceptional man – he single-handedly managed to solve a crisis that many scientists and development organizations could not. The simple old farmer’s re-forestation and soil conservation techniques are so effective they’ve helped turn the tide in the fight against the desertification of the harsh lands in northern Burkina Faso.
Over-farming, over-grazing and over population have, over the years, resulted in heavy soil erosion and drying in this landlocked West African nation. Although national and international researchers tried to fix the grave situation, it really didn’t really make much of a difference. Until Yacouba decided to take matters into his own hands in 1980.
Yacouba’s methods were so odd that his fellow farmers ridiculed him. But when his techniques successfully regenerated the forest, they were forced to sit up and take notice. Yacouba revived an ancient African farming practice called ‘zai’, which led to forest growth and increased soil quality.

Don’t apologize or feel stupid for being who you want to be. If you want to wear makeup then do it. If you don’t, then don’t. If you want to go out to dinner in your pajamas then do that. If you want to get dressed up just to run to the damn grocery store then DO THAT. And if people wanna talk, or stare or judge then let them. Don’t ever feel stupid for doing what makes you happy.

ANNOUNCEMENT
PLEASE support Dreamworks Animation and watch Home in theaters.
“Why?” you ask. “The movie looks somewhat interesting, but not enough to buy a ticket for.”
Well, I’ll tell you why.
At the beginning of this year, Dreamworks Animation had to cut 500 jobs in their department - over 20% of their total employees - and cut their output from 3 to 2 movies per year, due to their continued misses in the box office. In fact, Home is the ONLY Dreamworks movie to be released this year.
Movies like Rise of the Guardians and Mr. Peabody and Sherman, while good movies, were unsuccessful in the box office. It is a popular question if Dreamworks can survive another failure.
The company is in debt, the stock value of Dreamworks has drastically decreased, and competitors such as Disney and Warner Bros are providing difficult competition.
Now, why should you support Dreamworks?
Dreamworks is one of the few animation studios to truly put themselves out there and create something new. Disney, whom everyone idolizes - and yes, I love too - plays it safe with princess movie after princess movie, love interest after love interest, skinny, big-eyed heroine after skinny, big-eyed heroine. Disney adapts pre-created stories, and everyone in their movies fits the Eurocentric definition of beauty.
Dreamworks breaks the mold.
Dreamworks makes movies about people who don’t fall in love. The stories are wacky, weird, but infinitely more original. While Disney opts for retellings of famous legends and stories, Dreamworks makes movies like Megamind, How to Train Your Dragon, Spirit, Kung Fu Panda, Shrek, and The Croods. Maybe these don’t sound “groundbreaking” just to hear the titles, but think about it - Dreamworks makes movies where the villain is the main character (Megamind), where the “nice guy” isn’t the “good guy” (Megamind), where characters challenge societal and cultural beliefs (How to Train Your Dragon), where characters who people write off as “inept” are able to overcome their odds without changing their individual identity (Kung Fu Panda), and so much more.
Dreamworks also creates a diverse and varied cast for every film because Dreamworks is not afraid to depict characters who do not fit modern Eurocentric definitions of beauty. Dreamworks depicts women with varying weights, body types, noses, hair, any sort of physical feature. Women are depicted as they are in real life - different. The men follow suit. The body positivity that Dreamworks promotes through its films is practically unseen in Disney Animation, where all women have the same nose and look like they wear a corset at all times.
(You want proof of Dreamworks’ body positivity? Here)
Also - and, admittedly, Disney beat them to it - a female black lead? In animation? CAN YOU NAME MORE THAN TWO ANIMATED FILMS WITH A FEMALE BLACK LEAD? This representation is INSANELY important, and if we do not show our support by watching the movie in-theaters, we could be risking the opportunity to see more diversity in the media!
If we lose Dreamworks Animation, we lose one of the most diverse animation studios in the game. We lose more than just “this year’s animal movie” or “that movie where the girl looks weird”. We lose SO MUCH diversity in story-telling, we lose body positivity, we lose unique stories within the media, and the field of animation itself will suffer terribly for the loss of one of the biggest franchises supporting it in this nation. We CANNOT lose Dreamworks.
PLEASE, go see Home. PLEASE, support Dreamworks. PLEASE, realize that Dreamworks - while wacky - is so very, very important to the field of animation, and we cannot afford to let it die.
THIS THIS THIS PLEASE GUYS DREAMWORKS IS MY FAVOURITE ANIMATION STUDIO. THEY MAKE SUCH WONDERFUL ANIMATIONS BUT SINCE THEY LACK OF ADVERTISEMENT THEY COULDNT COMPETE MUCH ESPECIALLY WITH DISNEY. THEY MAKE BEAUTIFUL AND GLORIOUS MOVIE OK. THE CROODS IS ONE OF MY ABSOLUTE FAVOURITE!! IN FACT MANY OF THEM ARE MY FAVOURITE IM SO MAD HOW PEOPLE DONT NOTICE THESE BEAUTIFUL AND HILARIOUS STORIES. IM GONNA CRY IF THEYRE GONE. IN FACT IM ALREADY CRYING. lordzuuko

Lichtenstein be like “they’re invading, but whatever.”
But how do you “accidentally” invade a country?
On 5 December 1985, rockets fired by the Swiss Army landed in Liechtenstein, causing a forest fire. Compensation was paid.
On 13 October 1992, following written orders, Swiss Army cadets unknowingly crossed the border and went to Triesenberg to set up an observation post. Swiss commanders had overlooked the fact that Triesenberg was not on Swiss territory. Switzerland apologized to Liechtenstein for the incident.
In March 2007, a company of 171 Swiss soldiers mistakenly entered Liechtenstein, after taking a wrong turn in the darkness. The troops returned to Swiss territory before they had travelled more than 2 km into the country. The Liechtenstein authorities did not discover the “invaders”, and were informed by the Swiss after the incident. The incident was disregarded by both sides. A Liechtenstein spokesman said “It’s not like they invaded with attack helicopters”
Sources: 1 2 3
how do you even tell your superior officer I mean "uh Sir… I’m sorry but I think… we’re not in Switzerland anymore" "what are you trying to say cadet" "Sir I think we invaded Liechtenstein." "…goddamn it, not again."
I’m trying not to laugh too loudly but this is making it hard.

Many of Moscow’s stray dogs actually live in the suburbs and take the subway downtown daily to forage for food. While on the train they do normal commuting stuff like napping and listening for their stop to be announced. They find seats and sometimes remind one another where to get off the train. Once their workday begins they go looking for easy targets like people eating street food and children. They employ a number of tactics to get fed based on the mark. They bark at noshing adults to alarm them into accidentally dropping their food. They rest their heads on the laps of kids and flash them their cutest puppy dog eyes. When the day is done they head back to the suburbs and rest up for the next day’s adventures. The phenomenon is attributed to survival-based evolution. [x]
