Veterans Day is an annual American holiday honoring military veterans. Both a federal holiday and a state holiday in all states, it is usually observed on November 11. However, if it occurs on a Sunday then the following Monday is designated for holiday leave, and if it occurs Saturday then either Saturday or Friday may be so designated. It is also celebrated as Armistice Day or Remembrance Day in other parts of the world, falling on November 11, the anniversary of the signing of the Armistice that ended World War I. (Major hostilities of World War I were formally ended at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918 with the German signing of the Armistice.) Read more on wiki.

The Doodle4Google 2009 Australia Competition (Theme: My Wish for Australia) winners have been announced.

Jessie Du (11) from Sydney’s west is this years winner for the Doogle4Google Australia competition with her doodle entry “Australia Forever”.

The Winning "Google Doodle" will be displayed on Google Australia’s homepage on Australia Day January 26. Millions of people are expected to view the artwork on the 11-year-old New South Wales girl, which depicts a series of native animals shaped to form the Google logo.

The Rydalmere East Public School student’s entry, titled Australia Forever, was chosen from thousands in the search engine giant’s Doodle 4 Google competition.

School children up to Year 10 around the country were invited to take part, doodling to express their "wish for Australia". Along with Jessie, three other students were awarded national winners for their age groups: Ferryn Sutantio (years 1-3), Darcy McBean (years 7-8) and Emilie Tan (years 9-10).

Du said her entry symbolised her wish to protect Australia’s natural environment.

"Our native animals make our great country unique and should they become extinct or threatened this would be appalling to everyone," she said.

"The night sky studded with stars signifies that we must stop polluting the air so we can see the beautiful, gleaming stars."

Google’s original doodler, Dennis Hwang, said Jessie Du’s drawing stood out because of its creativity and warmth.

"It’s a beautiful illustration," he said.

The entries were judged by Australian artist Ken Done, photographer Anne Geddes and Hugh Evans, director of the Global Poverty Project. The judging panel chose 32 winners, with the public voting on the final four.

Along with having her image seen by millions, Du has also won $10,000 for her school, to be spent on technology equipment.

The winning artwork and the rest of the top 32 entries can be viewed at google.com.au/doodle4google

The last time Google held this competition was in 2007 for Australia Day 2008, with 12-year-old Janelle San Juan from Melbourne named the winner.

The Fall of the Berlin Wall – 20th anniversary celebrations

On November 9, 2009, Berlin will celebrate the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall with a "Festival of Freedom", during which over 1,000 foam domino tiles over 8 feet tall will be stacked along the former route of the wall in the city center and toppled.

A Berlin Twitter Wall was set up to allow Twitter users post messages commemorating the 20th anniversary. Masses of Chinese users have used it to protest the Great Firewall of China. Berlin Twitter Wall was quickly blocked by the Chinese authorities.

In the United States, the German Embassy is coordinating a public diplomacy campaign with the motto "Freedom Without Walls" to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall. The campaign is focused on promoting awareness of the fall of the Berlin Wall among current college students, and students at over 20 universities will participate in "Freedom Without Walls" events in late 2009.
