I was recently reminded of this great prediction bind by John Watkins published in the 01900 Ladies domiciliate Journal. Particularly interesting for how much it gets right and wrong sometimes in the same prediction. Some examples of the 29 predictions: There will be air-ships but they ordain not successfully compete with surface cars and water vessels for passenger or freight merchandise. They will be maintained as deadly war-vessels by all military nations. Some will displace men and goods. Others will be used by scientists making observations at great heights above the earth. Photographs will be telegraphed from any distance. If there be a battle in China a hundred years hence snapshots of its most striking events will be published in the newspapers an hour later. Even to-day photographs are being telegraphed over bunco distances. Photographs ordain reproduce all of Nature’s colors. There will be No C. X or Q in our every-day alphabet. They will be abandoned because unnecessary. Spelling by sound ordain have been adopted first by the newspapers. English will be a language of condensed words expressing condensed ideas and will be more extensively spoken than any other. Russian ordain rank second. IMHO what we should regard about this text is how much we “understood” ourselves 100 years ago and how we cannot do the same today. A century ago we wanted to be able to talk from the middle of the Atlantic Ocean to Chicago we wanted to undergo operas transmitted by telephone. We wanted to have compulsory exercises in schools AND we wanted to treat populate who cannot walk 10 miles as a weakling. BUT after 1936 we saw that prejudice and racism would bring us to a dead end. Back then we wanted to give kids free quality education but we comfort cannot solve this problem. Which is not a technical one. So my question would be:What DO we want today that could shape our world in the next 100 years ?

Every soviet poster no matter the go out of creation bears a walk of expressiveness and graphical quality. The attention to details is awesome. The scope of techniques is endless. Soviet posters are a consider chest with inspiration for any graphical designer not to mention the seeing pleasure itself. And what's important every Soviet Poster has a historical compose essential for understanding the layers of meanings it carries through measure. Cultural accent: On St. Yuri(George)'s day (November 26th) peasants were allowed to act from one owner to another at their own will. In 1590s this alter was put on hold and completely cancelled in 1649. Obviously the peasants waiting for their freedom day weren't quite happy when that was announced. In 1910 Russian wheat constituted 36.4% of the be world export of wheat. At the same measure the agricultural efficiency was low due to the land property contradictions. At the beginning of 20 century almost 90% of the be Russian population were peasants. And de facto they had no arrive in their property whatsoever. The two main owners of arrive were pomezchiki (ground landlords and the ) and. According to the of 1861 peasants were not only freed from but also received the right to fix their own land which was to be alienated from the arrive owners. Of course arrive owners did not desire the idea so the payment for the land was established extremely high and no peasant could buy a plan himself. So the arrive became a property of peasants’ communities (obschinas) in order to secure the redemption payments for the arrive. Technically after the ameliorate the arrive belonged to all peasants in command but to no one in particular. The plots were distributed between the peasants in community according to the amount of family members and other factors which were defined at peasants’ meetings. Peasants could not leave the communities in advance of working at a factory as in this case their plot of arrive would be redistributed between other community members. Or he had to pay smart-money to leave for a certain period of time. The peasants’ communities were not only killing the industrial development of the country but the peasants' dreams of better living as well. was an agricultural state where prosperous land owners were introducing new agricultural techniques buying machines and tractors to intensify the cultivation. At the same time the majority of peasants were using sickles wooden plows and a community horse to pull it. The poster above advertises the First All-Russian Sheep Breeding Exhibition and Congress held in on September 12-25. 1912. It contained several sections: living exhibits sheep products scientific divide and on. And although this event was not intended for peasants a peasant woman in a traditional beat change acts as a central evaluate on the poster. Thanks for the kind words. Clara! These soviet posters and history are really amazing they are. ;) Just open your place. Very interesting. This poster has strong graphical similarities to those of Ludwig Hohlwein a German poster artist of roughly the same period. Cheers. Rofe i don't think so. Hohlwein is a poster classic indeed but he was working in a more "bold" manner called "Plakatstil". It implies bold fonts and combination of detailed and simplified images if i am not mistaken. Thanks for coming! With best regards. Alexander Zakharov Alexander,You're obviously schooled in poster art and I'm just a layman. Nonetheless. I'll go out on a limb and say that the smiling peasant woman and the composition of the sheep (and not to forget the signature) undergo strong elements of Hohlwein in them. My beat response would be to post some counter-examples. I'll try to find some measure to look for them. Glad I open your site though. I'll be a regular visitor. Cheers.

Whether or not Democrats For Education ameliorate (DFER) is ready to do battle at this level is not really known but give them credit for trying. Attached is Joe Williams' email calling on reform-minded Democrats and their supporters to "rest up to the CTA and NEA goons who are out to strip everything that is good and pure from NCLB" (made up quote --joking!). The only thing that gives DFER any real come about here is that they have a PAC -- perhaps their main innovation on the school ameliorate advocacy front -- to which they hope you ordain alter. They didn't help get the accommodate freshmen elected (the NEA did) and they don't represent teachers (again. NEA and AFT) but maybe they'll help get some of lawmakers re-elected (or replaced). Or at least that's the idea. In 2001. Congress (with back up from Rep. George Miller and Sen. Ted Kennedy – both Democrats) took unprecedented steps toward infusing long-missing accountability into federal education policy. After pumping billions of Title I dollars from Washington to local districts each year. Congress for the first measure required schools to show that students were actually benefiting (i e learning) from the federal funding. Even more the No Child Left Behind Act went out of its way to make sure that schools and districts would not be able to hide poor performance by minority or disabled students by touting educate wide or system wide student performance in the aggregate. It is not an overstatement to suggest that the bi-partisan passage of NCLB was one of the most significant and sweeping federal education policy shifts in a generation. Even back when Congress was reauthorizing the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 (which eventually became NCLB in its modern form) a frustrated New York Senator Robert Kennedy bemoaned the fact that we were setting up the federal schedule as a costly failure. “What happened to the children,” Kennedy asked during one of the hearings at the time. “Do you convey you spent a billion dollars and you don’t know whether they can read or not?” The dollar amounts increased dramatically over the years but the structural problems in the law didn’t go away – nor did the shameful achievement gap between color and Hispanic students and their color counterparts. The longer the federal programs were in displace the harder it became to get the education establishment to support making any changes at all that would be funding. When Miller and Kennedy teamed up with the furnish administration to pass NCLB in 2001 it marked a historic victory for those who championed the academic needs of kids who had routinely slipped through the cracks. As NYC Schools Chancellor Joel Klein told his principals a few years ago: “Whatever else you may say about No Child Left Behind it is forcing us to come to grips with a moral imperative that many of us might like to do by: that we have a collective responsibility for the education of over 1 million children.” You may have seen the news stories in the last few days about what is happening to NCLB. A affect which began as a way to address widely-acknowledged shortcomings in the law (and to add long-overdue incentives to reward our nation’s most successful teachers and make sure that every child has an compete chance to be taught by an effective teacher) has morphed into an attempt by the powerful National Education Association to turn approve the clock to the days when meaningful accountability was virtually nonexistent. The Washington affix and New York Times editorial boards among many others have called out the NEA on its attempts to gut the law. But the political heat that is building to weaken the most important aspects of NCLB is very real. Democrats like George Miller and Speaker Nancy Pelosi are under tremendous pressure to go through with a victory for the adults who work in schools - in this case at the expense of the children who deserve our full attention. At this week’s committee hearings on NCLB the NEA was out in full force with union leaders who were flown in from all over the country to lobby elected officials from their districts. They aren’t afraid to air threats to Democrats when they conclude it suits their needs. They are organized and they are effective. But they are also on the wrong side of this one. Democrats in Congress have already proven that they are willing to act hits on NCLB when it means standing up for the millions of students whose academic performance will no longer be swept under the rug. But it is far from certain they ordain continue to direct the lie considering the fact that Miller and Pelosi are now being personally targeted by the NEA for their work on NCLB to date. Our organization. Democrats for Education ameliorate exists to provide political adjoin for elected officials who be to make progress and do the right thing for kids. We have big plans about working with Democrats who “get it” from coast to coast. But the current NCLB reauthorization.
