World Food Day, 16th October

fao.org

"Climate is changing. Food and agriculture must too.”

"This is the theme of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) for this year's World Food Day, (WFD). 

The theme revolves around the fact that the global climate is undergoing a drastic change, which is heavily affecting food and agriculture production. 

On the other hand, population is also growing steadily, which means a gradual rise in food demand."Read more in

John Lennon, 

9th October 1940 – 8th December 1980

lyricsmode.com

"Today would have been John Lennon's 76th birthday.

The Beatles star, who was born in Liverpool on October 9, 1940, had his life tragically cut short when he was shot dead in Manhattan, aged 40.”

One of John's several quotes:  “If everyone demanded peace instead of another television set, then there'd be peace.”

Nearly 36 years ago, the world was robbed of one of its most influential musicians, the incomparable  John Lennon. Today, on what would have been his 76th birthday, we look back on his peacemaking legacy and the imprint he left on popular culture.

Lennon is perhaps best known as the founding member of Liverpool pop group The Beatles. The band’s astounding popularity propelled Lennon and his fellow Beatles into the watchful public eye when they were in their early twenties, leading to nearly a decade of No. 1 hits like “I Want to Hold Your Hand” and “Eleanor Rigby.”

In 1969, Lennon married artist Yoko Ono and progressively changed his name to John Ono Lennon.  

After The Beatles’s 1970 breakup, Lennon proved himself a talented solo artist with the release of Imagine the following year.” (in http://www.instyle.com/news/john-lennon-birthday-age-beatles-best-performances-video)

Dear students

imagesbuddy.com

It’s been a while since I haven’t posted/commented anything I know, but here I am.

School has already started and I wish you all a very good year. 
I know that you like school. Why? Well, ... because you’re back to friends, back to learning new things and new subjects, back to funny activities, ...

A friend is someone with whom you feel good.” 

Leif Kristiansson
