Pelopor Sepatu Olahraga Modern

ADOLF DASSLER (1900-1978)
Jika anda perhatikan bagian telapak sepatu yang dipakai oleh para pemain sepak bola saat ini. Pada telapak sepatu itu terdapat paku, bukan? Ya, paku itu berguna agar kaki pemain sepak bola dapat menancap kuat di tanah sehingga dapat menapak kuat, tak mudah goyah, apalagi terpeleset kendatipun akibat kondisi lapangan yang licin akibat hujan. Penggagas sepatu dengan paku karet untuk pemain sepak bola itu adalah seorang warga Jerman bernama Adolf Dassler.

Adolf Dassler lahir di Herzogenaurach, Bavaria-Jerman, 3 November 1900. Sebagaimana kebiasaan orang Jerman yang selalu memanggil nama Adolf sebagai Adi sehingga Adolf Dassler pun lebih dikenal dengan nama Adi Dassler. Dan keahlian membuat sepatu diperolehnya dari sang ayah, Cristoph Dassler yang merupakan seorang pekerja di sebuah pabrik sepatu.

Pada tahun 1920, dia mengawali usahanya dari ruang cuci milik ibunya dengan bantuan dari saudaranya Zehlein, kemudian kakaknya Rudolf Dassler bergabung pada tahun 1924, akhirnya dia bersama dengan saudaranya mendirikan sebuah perusahaan sepatu bernama 'Dassler Brother Shoe Factory'.
Pada tahun 1949, Adi Dassler memproduksi sepatu pertama dengan paku karet pada bagian telapaknya. Dan berkat sepatu sepak bola kreasinya tersebut Jerman menjuarai Piala Dunia 1954 di Swiss. (Gambar dari: http://bit.ly/1HGKE7i)
Adi Dassler bertekad untuk menciptakan sepatu dengan performa tinggi bagi Atlet di Jerman dan di seluruh Eropa. Karena itulah, Adi Dassler memiliki komitmen dan perhatian penuh pada kualitas sepatu cipataannya. Komitmen Adi pada kualitas tersebut, membawa Dassler bersaudara sebagai produsen sepatu berkualitas tinggi sehingga sering dipakai oleh atlet-atlt legendaris pada masa itu.

Pada tahun 1925, Adi Dassler membuat sepatu yang memiliki paku pada telapaknya untuk arena atletik. Sepatu buatannya itu pertama kali diperkenalkan pada Olimpiade 1928 di Amsterdam. Kemudian pada Olimpiade 1938 di Berlin, atlet Amerika Serikat, Jesse owens berhasil meraih medali emas karena memakai sepatu karya Adi Dassler. Peristiwa itu menjadi puncak ketenaran sepatu karya Adi Dassler dan turut mengibarkan nama Dassler Brothers.

Namun sayang, pada tahun 1948, karena suatu alasan, keduanya terlibat perseteruan. Keduanya pun memutuskan berpisah. Adi dan Rudolf pun lalu membuat perusahaan dan merk sepatu sendiri. Adi Dassler mendirikan perusahaan dan membuat merk sepatu "ADIDAS". Nama ADIDAS diperoleh dari singkatan namanya yaitu Adi Dassler. Sedangkan Rudolf mendirikan perusahaan dan membuat merk sepatu "PUMA".

Logo Adidas sejak pertama didirikan pada tahun 1948 atau pada saat dua bersaudara Dassler berpisah, secara visual hanya berupa huruf Adidas, dengan nama Adolf Dassler diatasnya, serta ilustrasi sepatu ditengahnya. Dengan merk ini, sepatu buatan Adi Dassler mencapai titik kesuksesannya, dengan diakuinya merk Adidas di ajang pesta olahraga dunia, seperti Olimpiade Helsinki, Melbourne, Roma, dan lainnya.

Tahun 1949, Adi Dassler memproduksi sepatu sepak bola pertama yang memiliki paku karet pada telapaknya. Berkat sepatu sepak bola kreasinya tersebut Jerman menjuarai Piala Dunia 1954 di Swiss.
Transformasi logo dari Adidas sejak perusahaan berdiri hingga saat ini. (Gambar dari: http://bit.ly/1WM0HNe)
Pada tahun 1972, logo Adidas mengalami perubahan yakni dengan menggunakan konsep "tre-foil logo" yaitu logo dengan visual tiga daun yang terangkai. Konsep tiga daun ini memiliki makna simbolisasi dan semangat olimpiade yang menghubungkan tiga benua. Sejak saat itulah Adidas menjadi sepatu resmi yang dipergunakan pada event Olimpiade di seluruh dunia.

Setelah bertahun-tahun berjaya dan mengalami liku-liku perkembangan usaha, pada tahun 1996, Adidas mengalami modernisasi dengan menerapkan konsep "We knew then we know now" yang kurang lebih menggambarkan kesuksesan masa lalu dan kejayaan hingga kini. Adapun logo baru yang digunakan, secara visual berupa tiga balok miring yang membentuk tanjakan, yang menggambarkan kekuatan, daya tahan, serta masa depan. Sejak saat itu, logo Adidas tidak pernah mengalami perubahan dan masih tetap berjaya hingga saat ini.

Sejarah pun mencatat, bertahun-tahun Adidas terus melakukan upaya perbaikan produksinya. Banyak orang kemudian mengaitkan perjalanan waktu ini dengan mutu, gaya, dan reputasi Adidas. Selain sepatu sepak bola, Adi Dassler memiliki sekitar 700 hak paten berkait dengan sepatu olahraga. Adi Dassler meninggal dunia pada 5 September 1978.

Adi Dassler telah memberi kita banyak inspirasi. Kita bisa belajar dari kepribadiannya, hidupnya, dan cara bagaimana ia membangun usahanya. Dia adalah seorang pkerja keras. Dengan kerendahan hati, ia bisa membangun sebuah perusahaan sederhana menjadi sangat terkenal dan besar sampai saat ini. 

Dia bisa mempengaruhi orang lain untuk bertahan hidup. Semangat dan loyalitasnya benar-benar menginspirasi kita untuk bertindak seperti dia. Namanya dan sejarahnya akan selalu diingat oleh semua orang di seluruh dunia. *** [EKA | DARI BERBAGAI SUMBER | 70PENEMU]

Genome editing technology began spreading the hopes

Dawn genome editing technology breaking. Last week, in London, the doctor announced a successful leukemia cure with genome editing technology. And, Layla Richards was the first person in the world who feel the genome editing "magic". Previously, only the mice that feel this technology.
DNA is our blueprint of life. (Picture from: http://bbc.in/1XVDt4o)
For Layla, some time ago like has been sentenced to death, when the doctor told her parents that they have lost the way to treat leukemia. But, do not want to despair, Layla's parents choose the genome editing treatment. And the doctors quick responsed. After a few months, Layla can not only smile, but also free of leukemia and she could smile at her first bithday.

How to the genome editing treatment works?
All genetic treatment based on changes in the genetic material, deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), which stores all code, commands, and the key properties of the owner.

In principle, the new DNA is inserted into a cell containing DNA that are "error" resulting in certain diseases. DNA carried into the cell by a specific carrier, it could be a virus or bacteria.

Genome editing technology was tested in the bubble boy syndrome patient, a person who has a mutation in the gene IL2RG so it does not have the immune system.

The genomes of bubble boy syndrome patient successfully repaired by inserting viruses carrying "healthy" DNA. Unfortunately, the experiment was later canceled after the patients had leukemia. The problem occurs on that time, when the DNA is inserted at random so that disrupt the system and even trigger the development of cancer.

Since then, genome editing technology continues to be developed. Its main focus is precision, cutting, and pasting genes in appropriate locations. Subsequently developing the technologies of molecular scissors, Zinc, Talens, and CISPR.

The success of genome editing application against Layla trigger admiration.
Does the smiling face of Layla Richards mark a new era in genetic medicine that could change all our lives? (Picture from: http://bbc.in/1XVDt4o)
Of donors, doctors take healthy white blood cells. Talens used to manipulate the protection of anti-cancer drugs that do not attack healthy cells. Then, the viruses carrying a new healthy gene is inserted so that it can attack leukemia cells. Efforts were also ultimately fruitless.

Waseem Qasim, a doctor from Great Ormond Street Hospital, which is involved in the handling of Layla, said, "Genome editing technology moves quickly and accuracy to target certain genes areas become more efficient."

The genome editing technology has the potential to correct genetic errors that potentially wide variety of diseases. Adrian Thrasher, who is also a doctor from Great Ormond Street Hospital, told the BBC on Friday, November 5, 2015, said that genome editing technology will reach its peak in the next 10 years. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | BBC]
