160th Anniversary of the First World's Fair/Google Doodle Today
0 comments Posted by erwan.safrinal7 at 11:01 AM
World's Fair, World Fair, Universal Exposition, and World Expo (expo short for "exposition"), are names given to various large public exhibitions held in different parts of the world. The first Expo was held in The Crystal Palace in Hyde Park, London, United Kingdom in 1851 under the title "Great Exhibition of the Works of Industry of All Nations". "The Great Exhibition", as it is often called, was an idea of Prince Albert, Queen Victoria's husband, and was the first international exhibition of manufactured products. As such, it influenced the development of several aspects of society including art and design education, international trade and relations, and even tourism.[1]
Also, it was the precedent for the many international exhibitions, later called "World's Fairs", which were subsequently held to the present day. In Acapulco, New Spain (Mexico), annual fairs took place for several centuries where countries from Asia exhibited their products brought to the New World by the Spanish Royal Navy Nao de China.
The main attractions at World's Fairs are the national pavilions, created by participating countries. At Expo 2000 Hannover, where countries created their own architecture, the average pavilion investment was around €13 million.[citation needed] Given these costs, governments are sometimes skeptical about participation as benefits are often assumed not to outweigh the costs. Tangible effects are difficult to measure; however, an independent study for the Dutch pavilion at Expo 2000 estimated the pavilion (which cost around €35 million) generated around €350 million of potential revenues for the Dutch economy. It also identified several key success factors for world exposition pavilions in general.[2]
Since the entering into force of the 1928 Convention relating to International Exhibitions, the Bureau International des Expositions (BIE; English: International Exhibitions Bureau) has served as an international sanctioning body. BIE-approved fairs are divided into a number of types: universal, international or specialized. They usually last between three weeks and six months.

226th Birthday of John James Audubon / Google doodle today

226th Birthday of John James Audubon is google's doodle today, who is John James Audubon
John James Audubon (April 26, 1785 – January 27, 1851) was a French-American ornithologist, naturalist, hunter, and painter. He painted, catalogued, and described the birds of North America in a manner far superior to what had gone before. Born in the French colony of Saint Domingue (now Haiti) and raised in France as a youth, in his embrace of America and his outsize personality and achievements, he represented the new American people of the United States.
Audubon was born in the Les Cayes in the French colony of Saint Domingue[1] on his father's sugar plantation. He was the illegitimate son of Lieutenant Jean Audubon, a French naval officer (and privateer), and his mistress Jeanne Rabin, a chambermaid recently arrived from France. They named the boy Jean Rabin.[2] His mother died when the boy was a few months old, as she had suffered from tropical diseases since arriving on the island. His father already had two mixed-race children by his mulatto housekeeper, Sanitte, and he took up with her again and had another daughter following Jeanne Rabin's death. Sanitte also took care of the infant boy Jean.[3]
During the American Revolution, Jean Audubon was imprisoned by the British Empire. After his release, he helped the American cause.[4] A slave rebellion in Saint-Domingue in 1788 convinced Jean Audubon to sell his holdings and return to France with his French son and infant mixed-race daughter, who was very fair (she was the daughter of Sanitte).[5][6]
The boy was raised by his father and stepmother Anne Moynet Audubon in Nantes, France, who formally adopted both the children in 1794. They renamed the boy Jean-Jacques Fougère Audubon. When Audubon at age 18 boarded ship for immigration to the United States in 1803, he changed his name to an anglicized form: John James Audubon.
From his earliest days, Audubon had an affinity for birds. "I felt an intimacy with them...bordering on frenzy must accompany my steps through life."[8] His father encouraged his interest in nature; "he would point out the elegant movement of the birds, and the beauty and softness of their plumage. He called my attention to their show of pleasure or sense of danger, their perfect forms and splendid attire. He would speak of their departure and return with the seasons."[9]
In France during the chaotic years of the French Revolution and its aftermath, Audubon grew up to be a handsome and gregarious young man. He played flute and violin, and learned to ride, and dance. He was hearty and a great walker, and loved roaming in the woods, often returning with natural curiosities, including birds' eggs and nests, of which he made crude drawings. His father planned to make a seaman of his son. At twelve, Audubon went to military school and became a cabin boy. He quickly found out that he was susceptible to seasickness and not fond of mathematics or navigation. After failing the officer's qualification test, Audubon ended his incipient naval career. He was cheerfully back on solid ground and exploring the fields again, focusing on birds.

Logo google kembali berubah hari ini logo google adalah Youtube tentang Charlie Chaplin Bintang Film Bisu yang sangat tenar, dan hari ini adalah ulang tahunnya yang ke 122
Chaplin adalah salah satu tokoh paling berpengaruh dan paling kreatif di era film bisu. Di dalam film-filmnya, Chaplin dikenal suka merangkap-rangkap, mulai dari peran utama, sutradara, penulis naskah, hingga pengisi ilustrasi musik. Karier di dunia hiburan berlangsung selama 65 tahun, dirintisnya sebagai pemeran cilik di panggung zaman Victoria dan pertunjukan komedi music hall di Inggris, dan terus berkarya hingga sebelum meninggal di usia 88 tahun. Kehidupan Chaplin penuh pasang surut, mulai dari masa kecil yang dibalut kemiskinan, hingga tiba di puncak ketenaran bintang Hollywood sekaligus simbol budaya. Kehidupan pribadinya yang gemerlap mengundang banyak sanjungan sekaligus kontroversi.
Di dalam film-filmnya, Chaplin sering memerankan karakter "The Tramp", seorang gelandangan berpotongan kumis petak yang memiliki etiket dan martabat seorang bangsawan. Kostum berupa jas kesempitan, celana panjang yang kebesaran, serta ke mana-mana membawa tongkat dan memakai topi tinggi.

Logo google hari ini kembali berubah , logonya tentang Selamat Hari Valentine dari google dan Robert Indiana .Hari Valentine : Valentine's Day), pada tanggal 14 Februari adalah sebuah hari di mana para kekasih dan mereka yang sedang jatuh cinta menyatakan cintanya di Dunia Barat. Asal-muasalnya yang gelap sebagai sebuah hari raya Katolik Roma didiskusikan di artikel Santo Valentinus. Beberapa pembaca mungkin ingin membaca entri Valentinius pula. Hari raya ini tidak mungkin diasosiasikan dengan cinta yang romantis sebelum akhir Abad Pertengahan ketika konsep-konsep macam ini diciptakan.
Hari raya ini sekarang terutama diasosiasikan dengan para pencinta yang saling bertukaran notisi-notisi dalam bentuk "valentines". Simbol modern Valentine antara lain termasuk sebuah kartu berbentuk hati dan gambar sebuah Cupido (Inggris: cupid) bersayap. Mulai abad ke-19, tradisi penulisan notisi pernyataan cinta mengawali produksi kartu ucapan secara massal. The Greeting Card Association (Asosiasi Kartu Ucapan AS) memperkirakan bahwa di seluruh dunia sekitar satu milyar kartu valentine dikirimkan per tahun. Hal ini membuat hari raya ini merupakan hari raya terbesar kedua setelah Natal di mana kartu-kartu ucapan dikirimkan. Asosiasi yang sama ini juga memperkirakan bahwa para wanitalah yang membeli kurang lebih 85% dari semua kartu valentine.
Di Amerika Serikat mulai pada paruh kedua abad ke-20, tradisi bertukaran kartu diperluas dan termasuk pula pemberian segala macam hadiah, biasanya oleh pria kepada wanita. Hadiah-hadiahnya biasa berupa bunga mawar dan cokelat. Mulai tahun 1980-an, industri berlian mulai mempromosikan hari Valentine sebagai sebuah kesempatan untuk memberikan perhiasan.
Sebuah kencan pada hari Valentine seringkali dianggap bahwa pasangan yang sedang kencan terlibat dalam sebuah relasi serius. Sebenarnya valentine itu Merupakan hari Percintaan, bukan hanya kepada Pacar ataupun kekasih, Valentine merupakan hari terbesar dalam soal Percintaan dan bukan berarti selain valentine tidak merasakan cinta.
Di Amerika Serikat hari raya ini lalu diasosiasikan dengan ucapan umum cinta platonik "Happy Valentine's", yang bisa diucapkan oleh pria kepada teman wanita mereka, ataupun, teman pria kepada teman prianya dan teman wanita kepada teman wanitanya.
Nah setelah mengetahui fakta sebenarnya tentang hari Valentine, masihkah kita umat islam latah dan ikut-ikutan merayakannya, semoga kita dijauhkan dari hal yang sesar
