    Extractions: A review of more than 200 climate studies led by researchers at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics has determined that the 20th century is neither the warmest century nor the century with the most extreme weather of the past 1000 years. The review also confirmed that the Medieval Warm Period of 800 to 1300 A.D. and the Little Ice Age of 1300 to 1900 A.D. were worldwide phenomena not limited to the European and North American continents. While 20th century temperatures are much higher than in the Little Ice Age period, many parts of the world show the medieval warmth to be greater than that of the 20th century. Smithsonian astronomers Willie Soon and Sallie Baliunas, with co-authors Craig Idso and Sherwood Idso (Center for the Study of Carbon Dioxide and Global Change) and David Legates (Center for Climatic Research, University of Delaware), compiled and examined results from more than 240 research papers published by thousands of researchers over the past four decades. Their report, covering a multitude of geophysical and biological climate indicators, provides a detailed look at climate changes that occurred in different regions around the world over the last 1000 years. "Many true research advances in reconstructing ancient climates have occurred over the past two decades," Soon says, "so we felt it was time to pull together a large sample of recent studies from the last 5-10 years and look for patterns of variability and change. In fact, clear patterns did emerge showing that regions worldwide experienced the highs of the Medieval Warm Period and lows of the Little Ice Age, and that 20th century temperatures are generally cooler than during the medieval warmth."

Aging Body Image Family/Parenting Feminism/Women Girls/Young Women Health Inspirational International Interviews Media/Reviews Politics Remember the Ladies Violence Work/Career Distortion: A Study of 20th Century Women’s Undergarments Thin or curvaceous? Wide hips or no hips? The ideal body image for women is constantly changing. Even in the twentieth century, the ideal has undergone dramatic revisions. Despite physical discomfort, women have relied on underwear to mold their bodies to meet society’s most excessive expectations. An analysis of those expectations reveals that women’s undergarments have reflected the feminine ideal of the times in which they lived. That feminine ideal, in turn, has reflected events and changes in larger society. The Corset At the turn of the twentieth century, the country was emerging from the Victorian era, an era that emphasized the “natural” differences between men and women. The chosen undergarment of fashionable women, the corset, reflected the notion that true women were men’s complementary opposites. This aim toward femininity demanded a full bosom, wide hips, and a miniscule waist. Struggling to create the illusion, women laced themselves into heavily boned corsets. One of the most popular corsets of the time forced the body into an “S” curve, which thrust the hips back and the breasts forward. The fans of the “S” curve corset strove to have the wispy, contorted bodies painted by Charles Dana Gibson, a popular American artist. (i)

    Extractions: Robert Wedge is the director of education for the Massachusetts Council on Economic Education. He is also a visiting lecturer on economics at Bridgewater State College and the Suffolk University School of Professional and Continuing Studies. Prior to joining MCEE, he worked at the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston and taught at Winchester High School in Massachusetts. The millennium and Y2K celebrations spawned at least one unlikely new cottage industry as historians, economists, and philosophers used the occasion to formulate their versions of 20th-century history. Their accounts were widely disseminated, and many media pundits followed up with interpretations and commentary. Will the K-12 schools be able to keep pace with events, helping students understand modern history in light of the economic forces that have shaped it? In most states today, the standards and accountability movement drives education reform. In practice, many districts respond by emphasizing reading, writing, and mathematical skills. In this context, when people think about teaching history, they may turn to an emphasis on solid, testable lists of names, dates, and facts. While background information of this sort can play a part in thoughtful, imaginative lessons, information alone does not suffice to explain historical developments. Where understanding is the goal, the means must include tools for inquiry, including principles of economics.

    Extractions: In this third of five articles, space.com's Andrew Chaikin continues a decade-by-decade look at the 20 th century's most significant developments in space. For NASA, the sixties had ended in triumph: Humans had walked on the moon and NASA had put them there. For the space agency, the success of the first lunar landing was an invitation to dream even bigger dreams. NASA administrator Tom Paine and his deputies planned a stunning array of space activities so extensive that they would live up to the vision presented in Collier's magazine in the 1950s. There would be space stations in Earth orbit, a base on the moon and human missions to Mars. But these dreams were met by a new, harsh reality: the 1960s "heyday" for space budgets was over. National priorities had shifted since John Kennedy had challenged the nation to a lunar landing by decade's end. The country was preoccupied with an ongoing struggle for civil rights and dissent over the war in Vietnam. The booming economy of the early 1960s had given way to concern over inflation. Space exploration no longer headed the Cold War agenda. And so, when the Nixon Administration responded to NASA's budget requests, Paine's grand vision fell by the wayside. More Stories Only one element of the plan was preserved by the White House and Congress: A re-usable space shuttle that would ferry astronauts to and from Earth orbit. The shuttle would launch satellites, and serve as an orbiting research platform. And NASA promised it would lower the high cost of access to space.

    Extractions: Marian Apparitions of the 20th Century A Directory of 20th Century Apparitions The Mary Page is now compiling a directory of the numerous reported Marian apparitions of the twentieth century. The Mary Page directory includes general information about the date the apparition occurred, its location, the number of people involved, and the decisions made (if any) by the Church about each apparition's approval/disapproval concerning faith expression and supernatural character. Modern Era The twentieth century has been rich in reported Apparitions of Our Blessed Mother. Apparitions of Our Blessed Lady have been reported on every continent on our globe. The seers have been people from many walks of life: men, women, and children. The locations where Marian Apparitions have occurred are numerous: large cities, remote areas, caves, churches, fields, homes, monasteries, and other places. Church's Approach "The Roman Catholic Church has prudently been cautious to approve, disapprove or condemn reported apparitions". In general, studied apparitions are classed as "not worthy of belief", "not contrary to the Faith", or "worthy of belief". The message of an approved apparition cannot have any content that is contrary to the teachings of the Church. Supernatural Character Prior to any classification, the local bishop appoints a committee to take testimony, investigate, study, and report its findings to the local bishop. On our Web page directory of Marian apparitions, we have two columns which pertain to the church's rulings for each apparition that we include in our list. One column pertains to the "supernatural character" of the apparitions. The approval of an apparition's supernatural character means that the case cannot be explained away due to an impediment in the visionary, nor as fraud, nor as a natural phenomenon, nor of demonic origin.

    Extractions: Source: ERIC Clearinghouse for Social Studies/Social Science Education Bloomington IN. Teaching the 20th-Century History of the United States. ERIC Digest. It is important to reaffirm the teaching of recent United States history in secondary schools. Diane Ravitch and Chester E. Finn (1987, 84) state this well: "If we think it important that they [17-year-old students of 1986] understand the three decades between the Second World War and their own sixth birthdays [in 1975], we cannot expect this instructional job to be done for them by the daily newspapers or the nightly news; we have to teach this period as the history that it now is." Unfortunately, there are several obstacles to teaching this period of history, including time constraints, student apathy for the subject, and limited help from textbooks. This ERIC Digest (1) examines the coverage of 20th-century United States history; (2) discusses the consequences of limited coverage for student learning; (3) provides ideas on improvement of teaching and learning 20th-century United States history; and (4) lists ERIC resources dealing with all these facets of the topic.

    Extractions: I. Views of Ethics in Public Administration As the twentieth century comes to a close, ethics is returning to the public sector reform agenda. Just as it was at the turn of this century the current focus is on the administrative branch of government. Then, as now, scandals involving elected officials prompted the reform initiatives. However, today there is far less consensus on the most appropriate elements of the reform agenda, perhaps reflecting a century of less than successful ethically-driven reforms. This paper provides a broad overview of what we see as five distinct eras of ethics reform in this century and a current debate which may well emerge as the initial reform agenda of the new millennium. The first era lasted from the late nineteenth century until the early 1970's and we have termed The Reform Era . This is the period where we attempted to separate politics from administration and established a professionalized public service. The second era reflected the great social, political and cultural changes that began in the 1960's and stimulated the establishment of the
