Today's Google Doodle: Happy Mother's Day!



Google dedicated its today's doodle to mark the International Mother's Day.

The doodle puts on show two pairs of footwear, one of a mother and the other of a child, representing the relationship between the two.

Sophie Diao, creator of the doodle, also remembers her intense bond with her mother with a beautiful message.

Her message reads, "As we get older, we forget how heavily we once relied on our mothers and mother-figures. Today's doodle for Mother's Day harkens back to a time in my youth when following Mom around was all I knew. Thanks, Mom, for all the sacrifices, laughs, and love."

Today's Google Doodle: Sigmund Freud's birthday:


To mark the 160th birthday of the father of psychoanalysis, Sigmund Freud, Google put up a truly Freudian doodle.
While the psychoanalyst is most commonly represented sitting on a chair with the patient lying on the couch beside him, or as we’ve now come to perceive every clinical psychologist ever, Doodler Kevin Laughlin instead chose one of Freud’s most groundbreaking theories – the iceberg.
The iceberg theory, which explains the unconscious, pre-conscious and conscious and how they give birth to id, superego and ego which in turn shape a person’s identity.
Depicting the Freudian theory, the doodle shows most of the brain submerged and unknown, representing the pre-conscious and unconscious and shows only a part of the face above surface to represent the conscious.

Thanks, ((( Peggy!)))

That was just kind of a general question to anyone who might know! But thank you for the information. I never knew where to find any of these shortcuts without doing a copy and paste. Now I am on a learning mission!

Kasich?

My cynical opinion is that trump offered Kasich a deal to drop out so abruptly. Kasich had events planned yesterday and our local political reporter swore that morning that Kasich was staying in.

If he could convince cruz and rubio to release their delegates to him.....

That would give kasich 890, plus any he could garner in the remaining primaries. Highly unlikely though.

It is complicated though: http://lawnewz.com/important/not-so-fast-ted-cruz-delegates-are-still-in-play/

Today's Google Doodle honors urban planner Jane Jacobs:



Urban planning legend and former Toronto resident Jane Jacobs would have turned 100 today. Her 1961 book, The Death and Life of Great American Cities, remains one of the most influential works on urban planning.

Jacobs, who died in 2006, made her name in the U.S. but lived in Toronto in the late 1960s.

Through her writing and activism, she changed the way many of us think about the places we live.

Google is celebrating Jacobs with a Google Doodle that appears on its home page today.

I feel the same way.

He will shred the democratic nominee, whoever it is. It makes me sick thinking about it.

And God forbid, if he wins.... who will actually run the country? Trump is only in this for his gargantuan ego and has no concern for the country, the population, or governmental procedures.
