I just see that we also have a Google doodle for today:




55th anniversary of "The Miracle of Berne"



The Miracle of Berne was a football/soccer game, which is viewed as a turning point of (West-) Germany's history. It took place years before I was born, but I know the famous words of the reporter by heart, they ring in the ears of all Germans, even 55 years later.

Thanks!!

I read the words of the German reporter about the game and I got chill bumps!! I know very well the feeling of elation that something like that can bring~~and the sense of "country". Thanks for sharing. I had never read about the miracle of Berne and I think it's great. We all need a thrill like that every few years.  :)

Nikola Tesla’s Birthday

From InEntertainment.co.uk:


We now celebrate the birthday of Nikola Tesla, an inventor and a mechanical and electrical engineer who was born on 10 July 1856 and died on 7 January 1943. Many have described Telsa as being an inventor and important scientist of the modern age.

Nikola Tesla is better known for his work with a number of revolutionary contributions to do with electricity and magnetism. Tesla’s patents and theoretical work in the late 19th and early 20th centuries forms the basis of modern alternating current electric power systems.

Nikola Tesla was respected as one of the greatest electrical engineers who worked in the U.S. This was a direct result of all his hard work in the field of wireless communication (radio) in 1894.
