Free Rice

"FreeRice is a non-profit website run by the United Nations World Food Programme.

FreeRice has two goals:

• Provide education to everyone for free.
• Help end world hunger by providing rice to hungry people for free.

This is made possible by the generosity of the sponsors who advertise on this site.

Whether you are CEO of a large corporation or a street child in a poor country, improving your education can improve your life. It is a great investment in yourself.

Perhaps even greater is the investment your donated rice makes in hungry human beings, enabling them to function and be productive. Somewhere in the world, a person is eating rice that you helped provide." (http://www.freerice.com/about)

Vivaldi, L´estro armonico, Op.3 Concerto No.10

Mussolini, Hitler, Franco and... the football

"How has the Beautiful Game played into fascist ideology? BBC Four explores how the 20th century's three most prominent fascist dictators, Mussolini, Hitler and Franco, seized upon football's massive popular appeal and ruthlessly exploited it as a vehicle for propaganda.

(...) The documentary uses rare archive footage, eminent historians and trenchant contributions and testimonies from world-class players, past and present." (http://www.bbc.co.uk/bbcfour/documentaries/features/fascism-and-football.shtml)
