La Tomatina 2015 (Tomato Festival)
La Tomatina 70th Anniversary
There isn’t a definitive history
of how the event got started. Some believe it happened when two young boys got
into a fight during a local parade before they began lobbing tomatoes from a
local vegetable stand at each other. Others believe that the tomatoes were
thrown in protest against an unfavorable decision made by the city council, or
launched at a particularly bad local musician. What the storytellers in the
quaint Spanish town of just 10,000 people all agree on, though, is that the
annual act of throwing tomatoes at each other for fun began in 1945 on the last
Wednesday in August.
While there was no official event until years later, locals
from the small town decided to meet annually, bringing their own tomatoes to
the fight. Time and time again, however, police and local leaders attempted to
have the whole event canned, apparently upset with the waste of food and the
mess it made of the town.
During the peak of the
Franco dictatorship in the 1960s, which ended in 1975, La Tomatina was banned,
as it had no religious significance. But once Franco’s reign ended, San Luis
Bertran, the local patron of the town, began organizing the event and even
supplied the tomatoes for locals to throw. It wasn’t until 1980 that the local
council took control of the event and the modern La Tomatina festival was
born.
In
2002, the event was declared an official festival by the Spanish Department of
Tourism because of its overwhelming success.
The day, which starts at 11 a.m. and uses around 150,000
tomatoes, cannot begin until a participant climbs up a greasy pole in the town
square and retrieves a ham that is attached to the top. Once the ham is down,
the throwing can begin. Since 2013, a fee of $12 is charged to take part in the event.
Participation capacity has been reduced from 50,000 to around 22,000
for safety reasons.
All around Buñol
on the last Wednesday of every August, storefronts are shuttered. Trucks hauling
thousands of pounds of tomatoes grown and harvested specifically for this day
head for Plaza del Pueblo, the town square, where a Spanish ham is
suspended from the top of a greased pole. What ensues once this ham is
successfully retrieved (or not retrieved, as is often the case, by a succession
of hapless climbers) is arguably the world’s largest food fight: La Tomatina.
For a moment of blissful, heartwarmingly innocuous chaos, tens of thousands of
visitors to this small Spanish town indulge a universal childhood fantasy and
shower each other with tomatoes in a wild, watery mess.
For its 70th anniversary, Doodler Nate
Swinehart captures the energy of today’s festivities with an animation awash in
splattered tomatoes and brimming with the youthful delight of its characters.

Olimpiade Spesial 2015
Liputan6.com, Jakarta -
Olimpiade
Spesial 2015 yang akan diikuti 6.500 atlet dari 177 negara diselenggarakan hari
ini Sabtu (25/7/2015) di Los Angeles, Amerika Serikat. Google pun tak
ketinggalan untuk turut memeriahkannya dengan menampilkan Doodle khusus
Olimpiade Spesial 2015 di laman utama mereka.
Olimpiade Spesial 2015
memang memiliki posisi istimewa dibandingkan event olahraga lainnya.
Pasalnya, ajang yang untuk pertama kalinya diadakan dalam 16 tahun terakhir ini
mempertandingkan anak-anak dan orang dewasa yang memiliki disabilitas
intelektual, termasuk autisme dan down syndrom.
Ajang yang rencananya
mempertandingkan 25 cabang olahraga ini merupakan yang ke-14, setelah pertama
kali diadakan pada 1968 silam. Beberapa cabang olahraga yang ditampilkan antara
lain adalah badminton, basket, bowling, balap sepeda, berkuda, sepakbola, golf,
judo, maraton, soft ball, hingga voli.
Untuk gelaran tahun
ini, kota modern Los Angeles akan menjadi tuan rumah dan melangsungkan
pertandingan mulai hari ini, 25 Juli hingga 2 Agustus.
Menurut yang dilansir
laman Wall Street Journal, tahun ini, atlet termuda untuk Olimpiade
Spesial adalah Ho Kei Tang dari Makau yang baru berusia 9 tahun yang berlaga di
cabang atletik. Sementara, peserta tertua adalah Patrick Rutherford dari
Irlandia yang berusia 71 tahun.
Berikut kutipan dalam
Google Doodles tentang Special Olympics World Games 2015
Today marks the 47th year since the inception of
the Special Olympics World Games. 7,000 world-class athletes from 177 countries
will compete in 25 events in a celebration of athleticism, teamwork and
inclusion. A reminder of the universality of sport, this is an opportunity for
athletes with disability to compete in one of humankind's greatest traditions.
The games were created in Chicago by Eunice
Shriver to give athletes with cognitive disabilities “the chance to play, the
chance to compete and the chance to grow.” Like all World Games, the
events over the next 9 days will challenge participants to push their bodies to
the best of their capacity. They'll compete against odds and against one
another to perform at their peak and to honor their unique gifts to the
fullest.
Doodle team lead Ryan Germick illustrated
and animated today's doodle inspired by the circle of
inclusion, which represents the acceptance of all people with intellectual
disabilities. It celebrates the athletes in these games, as well as those who
support them — the friends and mentors who helped carry the Olympic torch from
its origin in Athens, Greece to its temporary home in Los Angeles, California.
Cheers to you, and the very best of luck!

Hari Internasional Anak Tak Bersalah Korban Agresi
"Pada kesempatan khidmat ini, kita
perlu mengingat tugas suci, yang diabadikan dalam Deklarasi PBB tentang Hak
Anak, untuk memastikan bahwa semua anak, tanpa pengecualian apapun, menikmati
perlindungan khusus."
Mantan Sekretaris Jenderal Javier Perez
de Cuellar, dalam pesannya pada peringatan tahun 1983.
Pada tanggal 19 Agustus
tahun 1982, pada keadaan yang darurat terkait masalah Palestina, Majelis Umum
menyatakan ketewrkejutannya terhadap banyaknya jumlah korban anak-anak yang tidak
bersalah di Palestina dan Lebanon akibat tindakan agresi Israel. Oleh karena
itu Majelis Umum memutuskan untuk tanggal
Juni pada setiap tahunnya diperinati sebagai Hari
Internasional Anak Tak Bersalah Korban Agresi (resolusi ES-7/8).
Tujuan memperingati
hari tersebut adalah untuk mengakui betapa rasa sakit yang diderita oleh
anak-anak di seluruh dunia yang menjadi korban kekerasan fisik, mental dan
emosional. Sejak
hari tersebut PBB berkomitmen untuk melindungi hak-hak anak.
