A Brief History of America's "Mother Road," Route 66 For nearly six decades, a two-lane road, running 2,448 miles, connected Chicago to Los Angeles. It was the path to Western promise for "Okies" escaping the Dust Bowl in the 1930s, the road under the soles of American nomads like Jack Kerouac. Route 66 was once considered an essential artery, its travelers a measure of America's pulse. But by the mid-1980s, the road was deemed obsolete. In the 1920s, federal highway officials, faced with growing automobile ownership (registered motor vehicles grew from 500,000 in 1910 to almost 10 million in 1920) and the impracticality of disjointed, named trails, began to develop a numbered road system. Although Missouri was its birthplace, Oklahoma is probably the most famed location on the route. Pop-culture tributes to the Mother Road were (and are) anything but rare. But Route 66's decline in many ways began around the same time On the Road was published.

56 Delightful Victorian Slang Terms You Should Be Using In 1909, writing under the pseudonym James Redding Ware, British writer Andrew Forrester published Passing English of the Victorian era, a dictionary of heterodox English, slang and phrase. "Thousands of words and phrases in existence in 1870 have drifted away, or changed their forms, or been absorbed, while as many have been added or are being added," he writes in the book's introduction. "‘Passing English’ ripples from countless sources, forming a river of new language which has its tide and its ebb, while its current brings down new ideas and carries away those that have dribbled out of fashion." Forrester chronicles many hilarious and delightful words in Passing English; we don't know how these phrases ever fell out of fashion, but we propose bringing them back. 1. A society word meaning “smart.” 2. A figure of speech used to describe drunken men. 3. Thieves used this term to indicate that they wanted “to go out the back way.” 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. Brave or fearless. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14.

11 Lessons That 'Jane Eyre' Can Teach Every 21st Century Woman About How To Live Well Charlotte Brontë's "Jane Eyre" was published on this day in 1847. While I'm a very big fan of most Victorian literature, "Jane Eyre" made an impression on me that other novels formerly hadn't. "Jane Eyre" is not just a gothic romance novel. It's a bildungsroman, a coming-of-age story. It is the first of its kind in some ways, as it's written by a woman about the interior life of a woman. I love that Jane Eyre is an unconventional heroine. The novel was very shocking for its time. Every time I encounter a woman who hasn't read this book, I advise reading it immediately. This is not to suggest that Jane Eyre didn't have flaws. Still, there's much to be learned from the way she chooses to live. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11.

Qu'est ce que l'ingénierie pédagogique? Le formateur d'un master en sciences de l'éducation m'interroge sur ce que j'entends par ingénierie pédagogique, voici mes réponses : 1. En tant que professionnel, l’ingénierie pédagogique, c’est quoi pour toi ? L’ingénierie est une façon de projeter le monde, d’anticiper ce qui peut se produire.

The History of Route 66 « National Historic Route 66 The Beginning Although entrepreneurs Cyrus Avery of Tulsa, Oklahoma, and John Woodruff of Springfield, Missouri deserve most of the credit for promoting the idea of an interregional link between Chicago and Los Angeles, their lobbying efforts were not realized until their dreams merged with the national program of highway and road development. While legislation for public highways first appeared in 1916, with revisions in 1921, it was not until Congress enacted an even more comprehensive version of the act in 1925 that the government executed its plan for national highway construction. Officially, the numerical designation 66 was assigned to the Chicago-to-Los Angeles route in the summer of 1926. From the outset, public road planners intended U.S. 66 to connect the main streets of rural and urban communities along its course for the most practical of reasons: most small towns had no prior access to a major national thoroughfare.

Victorian Slang - Language Dossier Victorian prudery sometimes went so far as to consider it improper to say "leg" in mixed company; instead, the preferred euphemism “limb” was used. There is a myth that furniture such as tables were covered with embroidery and tablecloths so that table legs were hidden from view, but no historical evidence suggests that this was actually practised. Words such as "devil" and "damned" were blanked out in books. Verbal or written communication of emotion or sexual feelings was often proscribed so people instead used the language of flowers. The nuances of the language are now mostly forgotten, but red roses still imply passionate, romantic love and pink roses a lesser affection; white roses suggest virtue and chastity and yellow roses still stand for friendship or devotion. Taboo Language It is assumed that the Victorians were quite a prudish lot. Victorian women only thought of sex as a means to producing children and caged themselves from neck to foot in stiff crinoline and whalebone.
