Help (v.): The act of giving aid or assistance
Need a study break? Rather than staring endlessly at the Facebook news feed that hasn’t changed in the past 10 minutes, check out FreeRice.com. On the site, you will find a highly addicting game that simultaneously exercises your brain and works to end world hunger.
FreeRice features a vocabulary game where participants guess a word’s meaning from a multiple choice list. For every word correctly defined, the site will donate 20 grains of rice to be distributed by the United Nations World Food Program. The site is non-profit, and the money for the rice is generated entirely by advertisements featured on the site, according to FreeRice.com.
So why not spend your downtime being munificent, magnanimous and unstinting and help end world hunger?
Blackle is the new green
Entering the homestretch to the end of the semester, you are sure to have lots of information to research online. If you are a Googler, you can easily become a do-gooder. Do your part simply by using Blackle.com , a search engine powered and run by Google. Blackle is essentially Google with a black background, which is a more energy friendly feature as the black screen uses less power. Just another way to be environmentally conscious.
