So, the #Nobel dinner served #barley porridge as one of the dishes.

The #Sweden Democrats, the "We're not a Nazi party just because we happen to have lots of Nazis" right-wing party immediately denounced it as a "woke" sop to vegetarians and other undesirables, and an affront to traditional Swedish values.

Apparently the "traditional Swedish values" party had no idea barley porridge is an iconic Swedish dish, and a staple food for over a millennium.

Hey hey! Another agrivoltaics study shows that crop yields from fields where plants share space with vertical photovoltaics are the same as, or perhaps a bit higher, than yields from similar fields but without the solar generating infrastructure. There's, like, a handful of these now, at least. This one's from Sweden.

Link to publicly available study is in the article.

pv magazine InternationalVertical agrivoltaics for barleyResearchers in Sweden have measured barney yield in a vertical agrivoltaic facility and have found that despite the shade created by the modules the yields are comparable to open-field control conditions, if not slightly higher. Their methodology can be replicated for other sites and crops.

Something I would love to know more about are the #ElusinianMysteries. But thanks to the cult's secrecy (and #Christianity), we may never know all the details...

Elusinian Mysteries

There were two Eleusinian rites – the Lesser One, and the Greater One. While the details of these rites were a carefully guarded secret, what is known is that the Greater Rite took place over many days, involved #music and #dancing, #sacrifices of grain and a bull, #ritual purification in a river, and the consumption of a #SacredBeverage that was believed to be #hallucinogenic.
The beverage, known as #kykeon, was made from #barley, #pennyroyal, and other ingredients.

It is analogous to the Sacred #Soma / #Homa beverage of the #IndoIranians. While the Cult of #Eleusius was closed down by the #Christian #RomanEmporers, elements of the cult “survived in the Greek countryside,” into the rites of “#SaintDemetrius of #Thessalonki.”

A #Colorado farmer has been experimenting with new varieties of #barley that have been specifically adapted to withstand cold temperatures. Growing in the winter means the crops will absorb precipitation through the spring, a vital advantage as weather in the Western U.S. continues to get hotter and drier.
