From 1 April 2014, it also funds the BBC World Service, launched in 1932, which provides comprehensive TV, radio, and online services in Arabic, and Persian, and broadcasts in 28 languages.

The golden mean is a World Machine
Unified by nature
Every single human being is bound by nature
Is it effect or is it cause?
Or just the way it was?
And down below as up above
It's a universe of love.
Everything has one connection
Synchronized, as one perfection
And endless flow
Omni-direction
Another answer is another question
There's no effect without a cause
It's scientific law
That down below is up above
It's impersonal love
From Fibonacci to Liberace
And verse to coda
To South Dakota
You are affected, you are connected
We concentric, we are electric
You are effect you are the cause
And there is no Santa Clause
And down below as up above
It's a universal love
We are effect, we are the cause
And there is no Santa Clause
And down below as up above
It's an axiom of love.
