Fête nationale de la Hongrie 2016

• October 23rd is a national holiday in Hungary commemorating the anniversary of the Hungarian Revolution, also known as the Hungarian Uprising of 1956. Sixty years ago today, on the heels of Poland’s rebellion, students and workers took to the streets of Budapest, and a spontaneous national revolt against Soviet rule erupted. The movement was suppressed on November 4th with the arrival of Soviet tanks in Budapest.
  For three decades, public discussion of the uprising was silenced. That changed in 1989 with the fall of communism in eastern Europe and the official declaration of Hungary as a republic.
  As the tricolor red, white, and green flag is raised today in Budapest’s Kossuth Square, Hungarians pay tribute to the brave citzens who fought for Hungary’s liberty. Patriotic speeches will fill the air, and celebrations will include folk music, dancing, and cultural events.
  Today’s Doodle depicts Hungary’s flag with a hole where the Soviet-style communist symbol was once displayed. Excised by the revolutionaries, the emblem-less flag has became an enduring symbol of freedom in Hungary.
  

117ème anniversaire de László Biró, inventeur du stylo à bille

Le Doodle de Google aujourd'hui rappelle l'anniversaire de László Biró l'inventeur du stylo à bille.

"Un Google Doodle, ou tout simplement Doodle (de l'anglais doodle, désignant un gribouillage et permettant une paronomase avec « Google »), est une altération particulière et temporaire du logo de Google présentée pendant une journée sur la page d'accueil du moteur de recherche de l'entreprise. Ils sont créés pour célébrer des événements particuliers tels que les fêtes nationales, les anniversaires d'illustres personnages ou d'autres événements comme les Jeux olympiques." Wikipédia

"You may not know the name Ladislao José Bíro, but you certainly know his most famous invention: the ballpoint pen.
Bíro was born in Budapest, Hungary, into a Jewish family. A journalist by trade, Bíro noticed how efficiently newspapers were printed and how quickly the ink dried – in stark contrast to his fountain pen. He worked with his brother, György Bíro, a chemist, to develop a new type of pen made up of a ball that turned in a socket. As the ball turned, it picked up ink from a cartridge and rolled to deposit it on paper, much like a newsprint roller transfers an inked image to paper.
Bíro presented the first prototype of the ballpoint pen at the Budapest International Fair in 1931, later patenting his invention in 1938. To this day, the ballpoint pen is still referred to as the “Biro” in several countries.
Today we celebrate Bíro and his relentless, forward-thinking spirit on the 117th anniversary of his birth.
