International Women's Day

International Women's Day (IWD), originally called International Working Women’s Day is marked on the 8th of March every year. It is a major day of global celebration of women. In different regions the focus of the celebrations ranges from general celebration of respect, appreciation and love towards women to a celebration for women's economic, political and social achievements.
Started as a Socialist political event, the holiday blended in the culture of many countries, primarily Eastern Europe, Russia, and the former Soviet bloc. In many regions, the day lost its political flavour, and became simply an occasion for men to express their love for women in a way somewhat similar to a mixture of Mother's Day and St Valentine's Day. In other regions, however, the original political and human rights theme designated by the United Nations runs strong, and political and social awareness of the struggles of women worldwide are brought out and examined in a hopeful manner.

Female members of the Australian Builders Labourers Federation march on International Women's Day 1975 in Sydney

The mimosa (technically, the Silver Wattle) is the symbol of the celebrations of Women's day in Italy and Russia

The first IWD was observed on 19 March 1911 in Germany following a declaration by the Socialist Party of America. The idea of having an international women's day was first put forward at the turn of the 20th century amid rapid world industrialization and economic expansion that led to protests over working conditions

In 1910, Second International held the first international women's conference in Copenhagen (in the labour-movement building located at Jagtvej 69, which until recently housed Ungdomshuset). An 'International Women's Day' was established. It was suggested by the important German Socialist Clara Zetkin, although no date was specified.^[2] The following year, 1911, IWD was marked by over a million people in Austria, Denmark, Germany and Switzerland, on March 19.^[3] In the West, International Women's Day was first observed as a popular event after 1977 when the united Nations General Assembly invited member states to proclaim March 8 as the UN Day for Women's Rights and International Peace.
Demonstrations marking International Women's Day in Russia proved to be the first stage of the Russian Revolution of 1917^.
Following the October Revolution, the Bolshevik Alexandra Kollontai persuaded Lenin to make it an official holiday in the Soviet Union, and it was established, but was a working day until 1965. On May 8, 1965 by the decree of the USSR Presidium of the Supreme Soviet International Women's Day was declared a non working day in the USSR "in commemoration of the outstanding merits of Soviet women in communistic construction, in the defense of their Fatherland during the Great Patriotic War, in their heroism and selflessness at the front and in the rear, and also marking the great contribution of women to strengthening friendship between peoples, and the struggle for peace. But still, women's day must be celebrated as are other holidays."

Olympics

Olympics is an international multi sport event which is divided into summer and winter sporting events. But the summer and winter games are held in every four years. The program of Olympic sports are generally consists of 53 disciplines, 35 different sports and more than 400 events.
Winter Olympic games are basically included only 7 sports with 15 disciplines as well as the summer Olympic sports are include 28 sports with 38 disciplines. The original Olympic programme in 1896 includes the nine sports such as weightlifting, swimming, tennis, shooting, wrestling, fencing, cycling, gymnastics and athletics.
The flag of Olympic games has divided into five different interlocking rings on a white ground that is black, blue, green, yellow and red. These five colors of the interlocking rings are represent the five parts of the world that were joined together in the Olympic movement. The five parts of the world are Asia, Australia, Africa, America and Europe.
The flag of Olympic game was first used in the 1920 Olympic games in Antwerp, Belgium. The symbols of the Olympic games are the icons, flags and symbols which are used by the international Olympic committee to permute the Olympic movement. Some such as the flame, fanfare and theme are the prevalent during the Olympic competition. But the others such as a flag can be seen through out the year.
Numbers of organizations are involved in the Olympic games. Three groups of organizations are operate on a specialized area. All of these three groups are mentioned below:
First one is International Federations which is governing the bodies of a sport. Second one is National Olympic committees, are regulate the Olympic movement within each country and the third one is organizing committees for the Olympic games.

Hockey Types

There are several forms of hockey including ice hockey, field hockey, indoor hockey, and roller hockey.  All forms are played recreationally, but ice hockey is a popular professional sport as well, most notably in Canada.

Ice Hockey

Ice hockey is an Olympic sport and team game with six players on a side, including three forwards, two defenders, and one goalie.  It is played with sticks and a rubber puck on a rectangular sheet of ice called a rink.  A regulation rink is 200 feet long and 85-100 feet wide, and divided in half by a red line, and into thirds by blue lines forming two end zones and one neutral zone.  The game of ice hockey is governed by various rules including NHL (National Hockey League), USA Hockey, and NCAA. Although it is assumed that games of hockey have been played in some form around the world for 4,000 years, the historical roots of ice hockey are Canadian.  The game took off in Montreal during the winter of 1879, when W.F. Robertson, an avid skater, sought to find a way to play the game of field hockey on ice.  The first games were played nine to a side, using a square rubber puck.  The first team, known as the McGill University Hockey Club, was formed in 1880, and the game was later introduced in Ottawa.
Play is started by a "face-off," during which the referee drops the puck between the sticks of the opposing centers in the middle of the rink.  The other players must remain at least 10 feet away from the center players during the face-off.  There are also eight other marked spots on the rink where face-offs take place if play is stopped during the game.  The puck remains in play until it is hit across the goal line or the whistle is blown on an infringement.  When a goal has been scored, a red light behind the goal is switched on.
The puck may be stopped by a player's stick, hand, body, or skate, but the puck cannot be held for more than 3 seconds.  "Stick-handling" refers to using the stick to maneuver the puck.  Infringements such as charging, tripping, or body-checking are penalized by sending the offending player off the ice and into a special penalty box for two or more minutes.  Fighting is penalized by five minutes off the ice, and deliberate injury is penalized by ten.
The puck is 3 inches in diameter, 1 inch thick, and made of vulcanized rubber, weighing approximately 6 ounces.  The hockey stick is made of wood, aluminum, or graphite and has a thin, rectangular shaft from 4.5 to 5 feet long.  The blade is 2 to 3 inches and less than 12.5 inches long.  It is curved slightly in one direction, allowing for better puck control.  The goalie stick widens halfway down the shaft, to a maximum of 3.5 inches.  Helmets are worn with or without face guards, as well as gloves, shoulder, elbow, shin and knee pads under a uniform featuring the player's number.  Goalies also wear chest protection.  Ice hockey skates are made of hard plastic and well padded with lightweight metal blades approximately 2 inches in height.

Field Hockey

Field hockey is a form of hockey played in over 70 countries with teams of 11-a-side, although some teams play with 5, 6, or 7-a-side.  Teams include a goalie, two backs, three halves, and five forwards.  It is usually played on a grass field 100 yards long and between 55-60 yards wide.  The normal game duration is 70 minutes, with two periods of 35 minutes each.  The object of the game is to use the sticks to hit, push, flick, or scoop the ball into the opponent's goal.  Opponents attempt to intercept the ball. The goal is constructed of two posts 4 yards apart joined by a horizontal crossbar that is 7 feet off the ground.  Netting contains the balls that have been shot past the goalie.  The ball, which is made of solid plastic, has a circumference of 9.25 inches and weighs 5.5 to 5.75 ounces.  Field hockey players wear shirts, boots without spikes, and shorts or a skirt.  The goalkeeper wears a face guard, gloves, headgear, and knee and elbow pads.

Indoor Hockey

Indoor hockey is similar to field hockey, but adapted for indoor play.  However, the manner of play can also be utilized outdoors as well, on a flat, hard surface such as asphalt.  A regulation playing area is between 40-50 yards long and 20-25 yards wide.  There are two teams comprised of six players each, and the game is usually divided into two periods of 20 minutes each. Indoor hockey rules are set forth by the International Hockey Federation which states that the ball must only be pushed and not hit with the stick.  The ball may only rise off the ground when attempting to score a goal from the striking circle (a delineated area in front of the goal).  The game is started by a lateral pass from the team losing a toss-up.

Roller Hockey

Roller hockey may be played on roller skates, or more commonly, roller blades.  This variety is referred to as inline roller hockey.  It is played with two teams of 6 players, and closely resembles ice hockey, though played on asphalt or an indoor skating rink with a ball.  The rink or playing area must be a minimum size of 65 x 35 feet and a maximum size of 100 x 200 feet, surrounded by a barrier.
