Talk:Introduction to Paleoanthropology/Evolution Culture

us (Homo sapiens) and the others (other hominid species, e.g. Neandertals, Homo erectus) -- This may be inaccurate. There has been a lot of movement in the anthropological literature in the past 15 years, and I believe the Neandertals are no longer considered a separate species. We are the subspecies Homo sapiens sapiens; they are the subspecies Homo sapiens neanderthalensis. (Talk.Origins FAQ on Hominid Species -- Only mentions this in passing, but may be a good place to start looking for a definitive answer.)--Bedawyn 04:41, 2 Oct 2004 (UTC)

 * Update: A bit of reading at talk.origins, and it looks like the Neandertals were considered the same species, but now there's talk of separating them out again. So this might not be inaccurate. Or it might be. Or it might not be now, but might be next year. I'd recommend deleting it just to be safe, and to avoid having to update it every time the wind changes directions. This is also something to keep an eye on when discussing Neandertals in later chapters.--Bedawyn 04:14, 3 Oct 2004 (UTC)

states/civilizations developed and remained within their own ecological boundaries... This situation shifted 500 years ago -- I think this is also a misstatement. The peoples Alexander conquered might argue the point, at any rate, as well as those subjugated by the Romans.

totally unparalleled scope -- This is very vague, and again I think it's an overstatement. Perhaps its unparalleled within the field of human evolution, but I don't think even that is provable.

There is therefore a problem to conceptualize the causes of the transformation process -- I'm not sure what this means. It is difficult to conceptualize the causes?

While resource exploitation is clearly the basic cause of the destruction of tribal peoples -- Again, debatable. It's certainly not the only cause.

Of course, as a culture of consumption -- I'm not sure what value is served by having this bold and centered. Makes it read more like an activist flyer than an objective textbook (as objective as anthropology can ever be, but that's a discussion for another time).

Unquestionably, tribal cultures represent a clear rejection of the materialistic values of industrial civilization -- *blink* A sweeping generalization, and hardly unquestionable. (I'm writing in sentence fragments -- yep, must be after midnight again.) The absence of a value set is not necessarily the same as the rejection of that value set.

Finally, and most importantly, I'm not sure this chapter even belongs in a book on paleoanthropology. It could certainly belong in a book on anthropology in general, but if it's to remain here, I think it needs to be cut for extraneous material and the remainder needs additional text to place it firmly within the context of paleoanthropology. For each paragraph, we should ask "Why is this relevant for a field that deals primarily with fossil hominids?"--Bedawyn 04:41, 2 Oct 2004 (UTC)

 * As in introduction text, the first seven chapters are devoted to getting the reader acquainted with basic concepts that are needed to understand the area.

 * So how is this chapter relevant to paleoanthropology? If we wanted to make value judgements about the past, then I could see its relevance, while disagreeing with the content, but surely science is about avoiding value judgements. If we are sticking to the facts this chapter becomes irrelevant. Carandol

 * Actually, all science makes value judgments -- some just pretend they don't. *grin* Anthropology as a field just tries to be a bit more honest about it. Instead of saying "We don't make value judgments, no way, no sir!", anthropology makes an open effort to identify the value judgments that, as cultural products ourselves, we can't help making, so that once they are identified, we can take a step back from them and try to minimize their effects.--Bedawyn 18:17, 2 Oct 2004 (UTC)

 * True, we can't always avoid value judgements, though we should attempt to. When we can't, it is indeed necessary to say what they are, which this draft doesn't. Carandol

 * Picture it as a closed glass window. If, as in many sciences, you're paying attention to what's beyond the window and not to the glass itself, you may think that your vision is clear. But anthropologists take the time to look at the glass first, how thick it is, how smudged or streaked is, and do their best to first clean it and then factor the uncleanable distortions out of their interpretations of what they see beyond the window. But you can't factor the distortions out if you don't first recognize them for what they are, which is why ethnocentrism is very much relevant for this book. (Which is not to say all the text in this chapter is relevant, or that this is the best presentation for ethnocentrism, but as a first draft it's not supposed to be).--Bedawyn 18:17, 2 Oct 2004 (UTC)

 * However, the anthopologists (not paleoanthropologists) are all wearing their own pairs of glasses, so they see the window itself differently. Which one has the best glasses is hotly debated.

 * I think seven chapters might be a bit too much, although I don't object to the idea of surveying relevant concepts from other subdisciplines. But the keyword there is relevant, and I think much of this chapter isn't relevant (the history of progressivism details, for instance). And again, I think it needs work to show why it's relevant. Considering this is just a first draft, though, I'm happy to leave most of the "why it's relevant" text for the next pass.--Bedawyn 18:17, 2 Oct 2004 (UTC)

 * The problem is that the justification of relevancy seems likely to touch on political issues, which would make neutrality, and consensus, challenging.Carandol

 * Since sustainable culture is one of the defining characterists of humanity, it is essential in this introductory text for us to put things into context and to address possible misconceptions in mindset of the reader.

 * Defining? Since when? People might like it be defining, but that is not enough to make it so. We must not fall for the myth of the noble savage, with his/her idyllic, enviromentally sustainable, lifestyle. Carandol

 * Culture has been one of the defining characteristics. It can perhaps be argued, when you talk about tool-using animals for instance, but that's a debate for the experts, not an introductory text. "Sustainable" is more easily argued, although a case can be made that if it wasn't sustainable we wouldn't still be here after thousands of years. But in any case, I think sustainability is irrelevant here, especially since any discussion of it is also based on value judgements.--Bedawyn 18:17, 2 Oct 2004 (UTC)

 * Sustainable is what I meant. In one sense, any extant species has a sustainable lifestyle, since it has sustained the species throughout its lifespan, but that's not what people normally mean. What the word should mean requires a value judgement, which can be provided by the reader. The text describes the extinction of the megafauna, and the possible role of man; the reader decides whether or not that's evidence of a sustainable culture. Carandol

 * As for the wording and format issues, they can be fixed in future edits. After 7 months of notes, I am trying to finish the rest of the chapters this weekend. Davodd 05:58, 2 Oct 2004 (UTC)

 * If this chapter is to stay, it will require considerable rewriting. Taking the final three paragraphs alone:

 * 'Unquestionably', is far too strong a word, and the second clause of the first sentence is semantically empty. Anything can happen given the necessary conditions, but that tells us nothing. The final sentence is not entirely false; nothing has been said to show that the values are cultural universals, but since the contrary is also unsubstantiated the tone of this sentence is inappropriate.

 * Ethnocentric views are no more automatically wrong than they are automatically right, which makes the first sentence irrelevant. Almost anything could be defended as being 'reasonable', which undermines the conclusion of the second sentence. Besides, all three of these paragraphs appear meant to be rebuttal of the claim that tribal cultures desire material wealth and prosperity. Even if this paragraph showed reasonable needs were met by trbal culutures, it would do nothing to show they meet human desires, which makes the entire paragraph of marginal relevance.

 * Although I agree that this chapter needs much rewriting, I have to disagree that "Ethnocentric views are no more automatically wrong than they are automatically right". That may be true generally speaking, but here we are speaking specifically for the field of anthropology. Just as the medical field takes as a given the value judgment that "healing people is good, death and disease are bad", modern anthropology takes as a given that "ethnocentric views are bad", and a student of anthropology will be expected to understand this.--Bedawyn 18:17, 2 Oct 2004 (UTC)

 * Holding ethnocentric views is bad, but to argue that a view is wrong merely because it is ethnocentric is to argue ad hominem, a logical fallacy. Saying 'Many adult humans drink cows' milk' simply because they do so in England would be ethnocentric, but the conclusion would be true nonetheless. Thus, the truth of a statement has to be evaluated independantly of its ethnocentricity, or you're not doing science.Carandol 21:23, 2 Oct 2004 (UTC)

 * This isn't just an ethical standpoint--it's a practical one. Ethnocentrism interferes with the practice of anthropology. If I look at a bone with 28 hash marks on it, before I assume that it's a lunar calendar, I need to recognize that I'm also assuming whoever made the hash marks gave a flip about lunar cycles, also valued numbers, and valued making records. Any or all of those ethnocentric assumptions may be wrong, and I can't properly evaluate that bone if I don't recognize that I'm looking at it through the eyes of someone with a lunar calendar on her own wall.--Bedawyn 18:17, 2 Oct 2004 (UTC)

 * 'Abundant evidence' is highly questionable, as is any claim to measure 'real costs'. Any account of this will inevitably be politically sensitive; consensus on these issues most unlikely.

 * On the whole, it would be much simpler to stick to the objective facts. Carandol 09:56, 2 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Mashallah News Mashallah News is a novel platform to cover major cities between the Moroccan coast and the Iranian shores, featuring collective, independent, grass-root, dynamic and cross-cultural approaches. The website was launched in November 2010 with an initial coverage of six main cities in the region, and now covers fourteen different capitals and major urban areas. It is run by a collective of young journalists, graphic designers, photographers, and translators who come from diverse backgrounds and are either born in the region or chose to make it their home. In contrast to mainstream news coverage of the Middle East which is largely focused on geopolitics, war, conflict and international power politics, thus creating a too narrow and false conception of everyday life, Mashallah News offers a different picture which enriches and challenges prevailing images. Mashallah News aims to display what is playfully called disOriented information about urban life in places like Istanbul, Jeddah, Cairo, Tehran, Ramallah, Beirut and beyond, in stories that have important societal implications. The website covers items such as unexpected social phenomena, original personal stories, reports from marginal areas and interviews with creative and subversive minds. Run by a core team of four editors and one graphic designer, as well as teams of contributors from across the region, Mashallah News gathers people with diverse experiences and skills in the fields of journalism, photography, research, art, and graphic design to share less-told stories and inspiring work from a region in transformation. Creative get-togethers, workshops and a print version with ‘the best of’ stories are in the works, to extend the emerging alternative public sphere even further.

 * From Facebook page*

Qtyap is a group built by jobless day-scis of 2013 batch of Visvervaraya National Institute of Technology. If is often described as a group by is considered as a way of life for most of its member. Founded in 2012, Qtyap has stood through some tough times but had to witness some major chnages in administration

Predecessor
Qtyap succeeded a Facebook group in the pre-Jio era where mobile internet was rare and costly. The facebook group which cannot be named in public domain had a rich history of activity. Primarily because that was a end when its members used to use it via laptop. The FB group had its own share of successful campaigns such as image and profile sharing, spamming campaign of Lara the third(#LLRTN), creating memes before it became mainstream. However, with mobile internet plans becoming cheap and availability of smartphones, using social media on a laptop became a relic of the past. As a result, the TN group was replaced by the Whatsapp group. Coincidently, Mark Zuckerberg, the founder and CEO of Facebook acquired Whatsapp in 2015 for 19 billion dollars to overcome this failure.

Etymology
Qtyap's name just like its persona had an unknown back history. It was named Harshad Mulmuley after he was infatuated with TVF - The Viral Fever studios. The Qtyap members were one of the early adopters of the popular Indian Youtube channel. The name was given in the reference to the viral video - Rowdies - Qtyapa which starred actors like Naveen Kasturia who later went on to become a household name in the world of web-series. Impressed with Qtyap's success, the founder of TVF decided to name his Twitter handle as theqtyapaguy.

The first Qtyap
Qtyap was founded by Mandar Hiwarkhedkar at Nagpur. The exact date of Qtyap 1 is unknown but it is estimated to be around late 2012/early 2013 during job treat time. Though there was a significant overlap with its predecessor, Qtyap's true value emerged after graduation when its members moved to different cities across the world to earn their livelihood or to become a master. Though there was no significant contribution or campaigns in the group, it had its own share of success when it was used as a platform to organize the Pune Alumni meet. The Pune meet is remembered for Atharva Purohit's near death experience of possibility of getting lost in a mall and flipping the bed apart.

Revolt of 2014
On the evening of Sunday,3rd August 2014, Harshad Mulmuley was visiting the Brookefield apartment, Bangalore after getting frustrated with sleeping with Piyush Kedar. Post having too much of Red sauce at Taco bell at Cosmos mall, there was a dispute related to unknown reasons with Pune, Mumbai and Banglaore members. As a result there were 9 groups created by multiple members with adding everyone and non-admins leaving others group. After 6 hours of confusion and pure grade bakchodi, at the stroke of midnight, only one group survived. Even though Harshad Mulmuley had created the group, adminship was transferred to a random member,Prathamesh Jichkar. As Jichkar, a passive member, was occupied at IIT-Kharagpur, he was not able to add/remove anyone and the group stayed.

Foundation of Qtyap 2
Since, mobile number portability was not invented in 2014, Jichkar's number was deactivated and the adminship was transferred to Abhishek Taori, another random member, atleast at that time. Even though Taori, a wanderlust, was involved only in travel plans organised by Qtyap member, he was always a passive member of Qtyap. But post the accidental admin rights, Taori emerged as one of the key members of Qtyap and managed to keep the active well. Once after getting into XLRI after asking permission from the security, he learned some valuables lessons of Bakodi and was able to deliver and implement them on Qtyap.

The Golden Age
Even though Taori was a capable admin, his rule couldnt last long and within 6 months, Nihit Agrawal, the first of his name, the rightful admin of Qtyap, the cheapR, took over the most difficult task in the world. He managed to keep the spirit of Qtyap alive and consolidated the members across 4 continents and infinite cities successfully. The Qtyap which always had a highly unstable history was united under the glorious leader until 2020. During the 5 year tenure Qtyap managed to scale new heights across the industries. More than 10 members managed to get MBAs from reputed colleges. 6 got married, 1 cancelled his own after saying 'pencil', the guardian of Qtyap decided to go an enchanting entrepreneurship journey including setting up the recording breaking music album by David Shukla. More than half of the members lost their virginity in this illustrious tenure. In terms of multiple offsite meets were organised at national and international locations, including 5+ trips to Goa and random meetups in Australia, Japan, New York, Prague etc. Inspite of having innumerable ups, the tenure was not a perfect one. The reign saw many instances of petty revolts including democratic elections where the admin secured 100+ votes in a 18 member group, buying off the position from Bhoyar for 10 rupees transfer via Paytm, and even colluding with the opposition for the thirst of power, but eventually the truth prevailed and Bhaay's attempts were futile and were not able to destabilize the government.

The Dark Ages
In early 2020, the great admin decided to retire and hand-off the admin rights to the capable opposition leader Abhishek Taori in the presence of the Hon. Name keeper, Shri Pratik Bhoyar as a part of Tashkent Declaration 2.0. However, due to these unprecedented times of Covid-19 the Tashkent Declaration 2.0 was delayed and a world wide lockdown was announced. With a borrowed Netflix password, the admin was watching the superhit Bollywood movie Pokhran while working from home. At this instant, another minor revolt was organised by the great Bhaay. Inspired by the Atal ji's dialogue, 'admin aayege, admin jayege but ye group rehna chahiye', the admin decided to pass on the reigns to a random member, Amit Barwad, the Marvel meme-boy. The ceremony was conducted over a free 40-minute zoom call in the presence the great Bhaay and was officiated by the group keeper, Hon Shri Qtyap Ratna Kaustubh Shukla. Even though it was impossible for Barwad to fill in the shoes of the previous admin, he gave his best to keep the group alive but the group fell into the dark age. The only time the group became active was when the original admin was jobless.

SMART Modified Tour

The Southern Modified Auto Racing Teams (SMART) Tour is a Modified stock car racing series racing in the Southeastern region of The United States. The series began in 1989, NASCAR took over the series in 2005. During its time as a NASCAR sanctioned series it followed identical regulations to the Northern NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour.

The series merged with the Northern Modified Tour in 2017 bringing an end to the series after almost 30 years.

The series came back in late 2020 without NASCAR sanction under the SMART Tour name and ran its first full season since 2004 in 2021 with the likes of Bobby Labonte and Ryan Preece competing.

All races are broadcast live on FloRacing.

History
NASCAR itself has a long tradition of Modified racing in the Southeastern U.S., prior to the formation of today's Northeast-based Whelen Modified Tour in 1985. The evolution of Modified racing began in the late 1940s with the first NASCAR sanctioned race taking place at the Daytona Beach course in February, 1948. Coupes and sedans were the vehicles of choice and provided a new form of entertainment as tracks began to spring up all over the country. NASCAR Modified teams competed in championship events up and down the east coast, including stops at Bowman Gray Stadium in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, North Wilkesboro Speedway and Martinsville Speedway. Top drivers from North Carolina and Virginia, such as Ralph Brinkley, Ray Hendrick and Satch Worley, were regular NASCAR Modified competitors.

In the late 1980s, while modified racing was maintaining its popularity in the Northeast, Late Model Stock cars moved into the spotlight throughout the South. The downward slide suffered by the Southern Modifieds made many people feel that the division was fading, and quite possibly disappearing altogether from the region.

The S.M.A.R.T. TOUR Era
In September 1988, after a rain-out in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, a group of dedicated car owners and drivers banded together and formed the Southern Modified Auto Racing Teams, or S.M.A.R.T., as they became known to race fans throughout the region. The group set as its goal to strive to return Modifieds to their previous state of popularity in the South. For the next 16 years, Modified racing through the S.M.A.R.T. Tour raced at tracks throughout the Carolinas and Virginia.

1989 season
The Inaugural Season included a total of six races. The schedule had two races each at North Wilkesboro and Pulaski County, and one race each at Langley and Myrtle Beach. The first race in series history was on April 9, 1989, at Langley Speedway in Hampton, VA. Eighteen modifieds entered the inaugural event. Frank Fleming's pole-winning lap of 15.990 seconds (89.660 mph) for the event was the quickest in Langley's history. Robert Jeffreys earned the honor of being the first race winner by holding off Philip Smith. At the Lowes 150 on April 15 at North Wilkesboro Speedway, driver Don Smith had to be cut from his car after crashing on the second lap. Smith had a broken left shoulder from the crash. Northern Modified superstar Jimmy Spencer won in his only career S.M.A.R.T. start after recovering from a mid-race crash to finish two car-lengths ahead of Gary Myers. The season concluded at Pulaski County Speedway on October 15. Johnny Bush grabbed his only career series victory while Philip Smith was crowned the tour's inaugural champion.

Robert Jeffreys held off Jimmy Spencer to win his second career SMART race. Jay Hedgecock became the first repeat winner of the 1990 season at Pulaski County, holding off Johnny Bryant and Frank Fleming. The race was stopped on lap 73 because of an accident with the cleanup truck. After a blown engine, the track safety truck lost the Stay-Dry spreader, dumping the chemical all over the second turn and causing a red flag for 17 minutes.

In 2016, after 12 years as a NASCAR series, NASCAR decided to drop the Southern Modified Tour and combine them with the northern tour starting in 2017.

Type of Race Cars & Rules
The tour features 600 horsepower open-wheeled modified's which run 15" wide Hoosier tires to give the cars added traction to attain speeds of up to 125 mph on some of the fastest short tracks in the South. Rules are similar to those used by the NASCAR Modified Tour. Cars must have a minimum weight of 2,900 pounds, maintain a wheelbase between 101 and 105 inches, and using 350 to 358 cubic-inch engines.

As the S.M.A.R.T. tour, the series added excitement to each event by allowing each competitor two laps of qualifying to determine their starting positions. Once these positions are established, the six fastest qualifiers draw numbers between 1 and 6. This shake up of the front runners adds to the action by letting the top six determine who is fastest competitor versus the fastest qualifier. Another exciting feature of the S.M.A.R.T. tour was that while all laps run under caution are counted, each race must end under green flag conditions insuring the fans will witness an exciting down-to-the-wire finish at each event.

Structure
This temple has front mandapa, artha mandapa and Garbhagriha. From the inscriptions of Kulasekara Pandya (1190-1218 CE) and Sundara Pandya (1218-1244 CE) found there it is learnt that this temple might have belonged to more than 800 years. In the vimana of the presiding deity astathikbalakas, guardian deities, facing eight directions are found. In the south Gnanasambandar, Appar, Sundarar and Manikkavacakar, in the west Kannimoola Ganapathi, Veera Ganapathy, Lakshmi Narayana, Visvanathar, Visalakshi, Ayyanar with consorts, Vishnu with consorts, Veerabhadra, Arunagirinathar, Athma Linga, and Gajalakshmi are found.

In the kosta, Kongana Siddha, Dakshinamurthi, Lingodbhava, Brahma, Durga and Bhikshatana are found.

Presiding deity
As so many Iluppai trees were found here this place was known as ‘Iluppaiyur’ and now called as ‘Iluppur’. The presiding deity, facing east, is known as Hemavritthisvarar and Ponvasinathar. The goddess is in standing posture, facing south, with four hands. Her upper hands hold lotus while lower hands are in abaya and varada postures.

Worshippers
Rama and Lakshmana while going in search of Sita they went through this place, which was at that time known as 'Mathu Kavanam' and did Linga puja. As Guru worshipped the presiding deity he was known as Ponvasinathar.

Festivals
The temple is opened for worship from 7.00 to 12.00 noon and 4.00 to 8.00 p.m. During the Tamil month of Chitirai, 10 day Brahmotsavam held.

1,3,5-Triheptylbenzene

1,3,5-Triheptylbenzene (also called sym-triheptylbenzene) is an aromatic organic compound with a chemical formula and molar mass 372.67 g/mol. It can be prepared by the hydrogenation reduction reaction of 1,1',1 '' -(benzene-1,3,5-triyl)tris(heptan-1-one). Alternatively, 1-nonyne trimerizes to 1,3,5-triheptylbenzene when catalyzed by rhodium trichloride.

Multimillion-dollar Moon family estate
Cut:

 * the multimillion-dollar Moon family compound

If I recall correctly, in 1995 the Moons lived on the Belvedere Estate. The church bought it for a mere $625,000 in the early 1970s. --Uncle Ed 20:11, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

Oops, no, I got the ownership correct, but the dates of residence wrong.

 * I don't even have one home of my own to dwell in. You may think I have East Garden, but that's the Church's property. Do you want me to have a home of my own?

The church owns East Garden. I'm sure it cost more than a million dollars to purchase the land and build the conference center.

Phyllis Kim had a small house there, and Rev. Moon's youngest son (the bald-headed 'monk' guy) had an even smaller one. The main building had quarters for Rev. & Mrs. Moon upstairs. --Uncle Ed 20:20, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

 * Ed, I always thought you were fair-minded and honest with yourself and others in your edits, but I think your on the verge of pulling a Korean-style con-job here (where you get to fool yourself too). Both Belvedere and East Garden are opulent estates with mansions typical of the Irvington-Tarrytown area. The new Korean-style mansion on the East Garden property cost, I think I remember, $24 or $26 million. The bathrooms have expensive Italian marble facing on the walls floor-to-ceiling. The dining room has a living garden with a brook flowing through it. Like the first mansion that came with the property (which you didn't mention in the phrase "purchase the land and build the conference center"), that second mansion is residential (Moon family) except for the huge room that constitutes the "conference center." Adding that some servants or private tutors also live on the property may not strengthen the case that you seem to be making, that Rev. Moon and his family don't really live in luxurious surroundings. Or perhaps you had another unspoken reason for emphasizing the point that the property is church-owned (which seems irrelevant to me). If you can make a good argument that there's a difference between living in a mansion (or on an estate) that is personally owned versus owned by a church over which Rev, Moon has complete control, I'll happily put the "church-owned" phrase back in the article myself. Btw, I never liked the word "compound" to describe East Garden; though technically correct because there are multiple mansions and other buildings on the property, I think detractors with anti-cult sentiments like to use it because it's reminiscent of the Branch Davidians at Waco. -Exucmember 05:50, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

 * I've always been sensitive to claims that I might be unconsciously biased in favor of my church, even from anonymous claimants. I therefore take your criticism seriously. I welcome constructive criticism.

 * The reason to emphazise "church-owned" is to counter the accusation made by church opponents that Rev. Moon is wealthy, that he got rich "off the hard work of others", etc. The UC view likens Father Moon to the RC church's Holy Father. He's given luxury and convenience so that he can focus on his God-given mission.

 * I've been all over the $625,000 Belevedere Estate and in all building but the main house, and it doesn't look opulent to me. It's quite run-down, and a number of church families reside there other than the Moons. If it's worth anything like tens of millions now, all the better for its owner: the church.

 * I won't revert at all, because it's been my policy for 5 years at Wikipedia never to edit-war over church-related articles. I think we can work this out through discussion. --Uncle Ed 15:12, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

 * Ed, the pope doesn't have the authority to hand absolute control of the buildings at the Vatican off to his son. My implicit question remains unanswered: What's the significant difference between Rev. Moon's living in a mansion (or on an estate) that is personally owned versus owned by an organization over which Rev. Moon has complete control?

 * Your referring to "the $625,000 Belevedere Estate" may reveal an unconscious bias on two counts:

 * First, is it really the most accurate way to refer to it in terms of its value as of the purchase price in the early 70s? The house across the street from mine sold for more than that last year. Dr. Michael Mickler (now academic Dean of the Unification Theological Seminary) describes Belvedere as a 22-acre estate, the large downpayment of $294,000 paid for primarily by the members through the 'Belvedere Project': "[Premier Unification Church theologian Young Oon Kim] noted, 'For seven weeks nearly every member in our Family, in every state, abandoned all other activities to sell candles.' There was total mobilization."

 * When I was there in 1976, Belvedere was picturesque - magically beautiful. I don't remember when the Moon family moved to East Garden, but it was certainly by 1981. Whenever I was there in the late 80s & early 90s, I had the same impression as you did, that Belvedere was run down.

 * Second, why do you keep bringing up Belvedere? The Moon family moved out from Belvedere to East Garden more than 20 years ago! East Garden is the estate where Rev. Moon lives, with an opulent mansion, and then an additional even more opulent mansion was built on the property. It has very expensive furnishings and furniture.

 * I didn't remove it, but I really think calling the $24 million (then-current cost not counting the land, other mansion, or other buildings) Moon family residence a "conference center" is so much of an extreme stretch as to be inaccurate and misleading. The "conference center" is a giant ballrooom on the first floor which is used for frequent meetings, almost entirely consisting of church members or personal guests of Rev. Moon. -Exucmember 18:07, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

 * You're right. Sorry! :-) --Uncle Ed 20:42, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

Heir apparent
Source for "heir apparent" claim is Nansook Hong herself:

 * "Peter Kim, the Rev. Moon's personal assistant, was assigned to tutor the young heir apparent." (P. 57, Shadow)

 * Most of the book sounds like Nansook with slight rewording, but occasionally a phrase is jarring to Unification Church members because it sounds so unike her. I remember a phrase along the lines of "Moon's minions" or "Moon and his minions" and thinking it didn't sound like her at all; I never saw any evidence that she had that kind of attitude toward the members. So also a clever phrase like "heir apparent" sounds more like Eileen McNamara than like Nansook Hong. But Ed, you are going way too far out on thin ice on this "heir apparent" issue. See my comments on the issue on the Talk:Hyo Jin Moon page. -Exucmember 05:50, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

Date of Rev. Moon's Easter revelation
Hong gets the date of Rev. Moon's Easter revelation wrong, a sure sign that she cribbed her introductory matter for someone else, or that she had a sloppy ghostwriter.

 * All that changed on Easter morning in 1936, when Sun Myung Moon was sixteen. He had been deep in prayer on a mountainside when, he says, Jesus appared to him . . . (p. 18, Shadow)

It also shows that whoever wrote this passage was not Korean, or they would have known about the Korean age system, whereby a man born in 1920 would be 17 in 1936. Moon's Easter encounter took place when he was 16 (in Korean age), thus obviously in 1935.

Only an outsider could make such a simply blunder, leading me to wonder how much of her book Nansook Hong actually is responsible for. She clearly didn't write the first 20 pages of "background". (I heard that Chryssides made plagiarism accusations, but I forget how that turned out.) --Uncle Ed 20:47, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

 * I agree. Unlike you, I read the whole book, and my eye for detail found about a half-dozen mistakes. Most of these were mistakes that a Korean would not have made. They were clearly made by her unnamed collaborator, and apparently Hong didn't catch them. This weakens her case because many members are looking so hard for some way to ignore the horrendous ordeal she endured for many years by discrediting her on the basis of various small matters. Members who read the book, if they are honest with themselves, will realize that her experiences ring true (Dan Fefferman's phrase describing the book was something like this) and that it is her story. -Exucmember 05:50, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

 * I like the phrase "unnamed collaborator" as a neutral alternative for "ghostwriter".

 * I have no doubt about any instance in the book where she says Hyo Jin Moon mistreated her or committed sins. A friend reported being present at a public "confession".

 * Dan's a peach. He's been a stalwart supporter of "conscience" and has maintained positive contact with ex-member Steve Hassan. I'm too much of a hot head. ;-) --Uncle Ed 15:18, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

Plagiarism, or what

 * McNamara and Chryssides apparently relied on the same primary-source materials, although King says McNamara's words follow Chryssides's more closely than they do the primary sources.

 * Ed, I always thought you were fair-minded and balanced in your edits, but I read the article at the URL immediately above, and I have to say that your title for this section is misleading (contrary to the conclusion of the author of the article), and in addition you chose the one sentence to quote that most suits the claim of plagiarism you are repeating here (whereas almost everything else in the article runs counter to it). -Exucmember 05:50, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

 * Well, if my edit was misleading then I've made a mistake. Thanks for catching it. :-) --Uncle Ed 15:19, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

 * I didn't think you were intentionally attempting to mislead. (Besides, anyone can read the article.) But it says things as far on the other end of the spectrum as "Actually, to call the charges 'not clear cut' is too fair to McNamara's accusers, who in fact have no case at all." So the statement you quoted was as far from representative as possible, that's all. As I said, your edits are normally fair-minded and balanced; I wish all the members had a similarly public-minded sense. -Exucmember 16:02, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

 * Oh, well, being "public-minded" is part of the church mandate. And so is honesty. ("Honesty comes first, particularly between God and man." ) --Uncle Ed 16:09, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

Article about the book
It's time to separate Hong from the book which Herbert Rosedale got Eileen McNamara to wrote for her. --Uncle Ed 15:43, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

In any case, the overall view of members (based on my extensive conversations with fellow churchmen) is that HJ Moon mistreated Nan Sook terribly. No one condones this, least of all Rev. Moon. He said only, "Can I not forgive my own son?" The key word is forgive because this implies wrongdoing, not approval. Recall that Jesus forgave the sins of "the woman caught in adultery"; he did not approve her sins, nor did he condemn her to death: he told her blatantly to "go and sin no more".

Some people have the idea that there are only two reactions to an accusation:
 * 1) deny that it happened (or that it was wrong)
 * 2) condemn the person for doing it (take away his position, punish him)

In the Unification Church (as is common in Christianity and other religious traditions) there is a third alternative:
 * Give the person a chance to repent

The UC is not, as some (critics) think, a political organization trying to impose its will on people by force. Rather, it is a "rehab clinic for sinners". Concepts of healing and repentance are so foreign to major segments of U.S. media that the "justify or condemn" paradigm is too often applied.

Wikipedia should at least acknowledge the existence of the church POV about forgiveness, repentance, grace, etc. --Uncle Ed 15:51, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

 * While I disagree with some of your other assertions, I agree that "Wikipedia should at least acknowledge the existence of the church POV about forgiveness, repentance, grace, etc." Why don't you write something to that effect? (You already got a start above.) I think it would be a good addition to both the Nansook Hong and Hyo Jin Moon articles. -Exucmember 16:54, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

 * Thanks for the encouragement. I wouldn't dream of asking you to "agree" with me about the church! (If two writers agree, one is redundant.) All I ask is that we "agree to disagree", so that the article can be neutral.

 * You'll note that I address you more than Steve on talk pages, because I'm not looking for co-conspirators but rather for people who will "agree to disagree" so that we can get neutral articles that describe pro-and anti-church viewpoints fairly. --Uncle Ed 19:14, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

True Mother's life work
The book conveniently leaves out who she was shopping for. The passage makes it sound like she just went to boutiques for herself. Church members report that she shopped mainly for other people, not even her own family. Or that she had to buy formal wear for speaking tours. --Uncle Ed 02:12, 25 October 2006 (UTC)--Uncle Ed 02:12, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

Lead sentence
Cut from intro:

 * Nansook Hong (born 1966), ...

The part in HTML "hidden text" markup is what I cut.

There is no need to describe Hong as "hand-picked" in this fashion. It makes it sound out of the ordinary, but Rev. Moon arranged all his children's marriages. I think that adjective came either from Library Journal or maybe from Hong herself.

And why does the first sentence of a biography of Rev. Moon's daughter-in-law have to allude to Moon's former marriages? Readers want to know about Ms. Hong - not her former parents-in-law (they can click on the handy links when they are ready to learn about them.

The scare quotes around the True Mother title are unnecessary, too.

Finally, the bit about apparent next-generation successor is just too much non-Hong for the first sentence of an encyclopedia biography. Tell us about Hong!

Now, all this information need not be permanently hidden, but I'd like some help from Steve and River Guy and ExUC and others to decide where it should go. That's why I did not delete it, but only used HTML to hide it. It's still available when you click the edit button. --Uncle Ed (talk) 13:51, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

The first sentence, as written, was fine (I feel you're nit-picking), but I have changed it, attempting to address your concerns. Some form of that sentence is essential to establish notability, including his status as apparent next-generation successor at the time. If you are going to deny that he was, I have to conclude that you were either completely out of touch with the mainstream of the church for years, or that you're fooling yourself with a kind of revisionism, or that you're being disingenuous, or something similar. In the prayer room on the 20th floor (where all the elevators go) of the New Yorker Hotel (which at the time was the "World Mission Center" - the closest thing the UC had to a world headquarters), there were two pictures on the altar, one of Sun Myung Moon and Hak Ja Han, and one of Hyo Jin Moon and Nan Sook Hong. Every member assumed the eldest son would inherit his father's position. It wasn't until later that this began to be doubted. -Exucmember (talk) 08:27, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

 * There is no official church policy about whose pictures should be in a prayer room. :-) Steve Dufour (talk) 13:58, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

Category: Former Unificationists
I've nominated the category for deletion, BTW: Categories for discussion/Log/2009 January 6. Besides that, is there any evidence that she is really a "former Unificationist"? I still consider her part of the church community. Steve Dufour (talk) 13:58, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

Plenty of sources for Hong

Merger proposal
I have proposed merging In the Shadow of the Moons here since they mostly give the same information. Borock (talk) 02:43, 23 December 2010 (UTC)

 * Support: per WP:MERGE rationales #2 'Overlap' & #4 'Context'. HrafnTalkStalk(P) 05:04, 23 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose merge. Oppose process that ran for two days. Oppose redirecting a book article to its author when the book is itself independently and separately the subject of coverage from multiple WP:RS secondary sources. -- Cirt (talk) 13:53, 26 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Are there any sources that talk about her without talking about her autobiography? Obviously they can't talk about the book without talking about her.Borock (talk) 14:15, 26 December 2010 (UTC)
 * If that is the case, then the book is more notable than her, and not the other way around. But in answer to your question, yes, there are. -- Cirt (talk) 14:16, 26 December 2010 (UTC)
 * I guess a case could be made that the book is more notable. Borock (talk) 14:17, 26 December 2010 (UTC)

A case can also be made not to end discussions and redirect pages and merge articles after only a couple days of time passed since the initial merge proposal. That is inappropriate. -- Cirt (talk) 14:18, 26 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment If the articles are merged it should be under the title Nansook Hong, since she is the subject of the book. Right now the article on the book duplicates information in the article on the person, however material could be added on the sales figures of the book, critical reception, influence, and so forth. Steve Dufour (talk) 18:16, 26 December 2010 (UTC)
 * The book is by Hong, she is the author, not simply the subject. -- Cirt (talk) 18:38, 26 December 2010 (UTC)
 * That would seem to also be an argument that she is the more important topic. Of course it's possible to have both, for instance Malcolm X and The Autobiography of Malcolm X. Steve Dufour (talk) 18:43, 26 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Yes, agree that both should be retained, per that example. -- Cirt (talk) 18:44, 26 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Both Malcolm X and his "autobiography" (of which he is not the author BTW) have had far more lasting impact on the world, than has Ms Hong. Borock (talk) 20:45, 26 December 2010 (UTC)

 * Comment: I will attempt to implement suggestions above by, and expand the article about the book In the Shadow of the Moons to include additional sourced material on recommended subjects including sales figures of the book, critical reception, influence, and so forth. -- Cirt (talk) 23:33, 26 December 2010 (UTC)

Long quote
I removed a long quote which took up a big part of the article. Besides copyright considerations, the article is supposed to be about the book and to be based on secondary sources as are all WP articles. Jaque Hammer (talk) 15:24, 27 March 2011 (UTC)

BLP issue
I find this sentence somewhat questionable. Not only does it accuse a living person of a crime, but it comes from a self-published source. Robert Parry of The Consortium reviewed the book, and wrote that "it adds first-person evidence that Rev. Moon has flouted U.S. currency laws through a long-running conspiracy to smuggle cash into the United States or to lie to customs agents about where the cash is going."[12] I trimmed down another quote for the same reason, self-published and BLP.Kitfoxxe (talk) 11:24, 30 June 2011 (UTC)

Merger proposal
Almost the entirety of Hyo Jin Moon is sourced to Nansook, and particularly to her autobiography, and generally describes his behaviour during his marriage to her. It would therefore seem reasonable to merge it here (mostly into the section on her biography). WP:MERGE #2 (Overlap) & #4 (context) therefore clearly apply. HrafnTalkStalk(P) 10:38, 20 May 2012 (UTC)
 * That makes sense to me. Hyo Jin Moon has gotten almost no coverage outside of the Unification Church, except for his divorce (and his death as well.) Borock (talk) 15:33, 20 May 2012 (UTC)
 * I also agree. The Hyo Jin Moon article has never really established why he is notable. Nansook Hong, on the other hand, seems to be notable as a author. Kitfoxxe (talk) 13:17, 22 May 2012 (UTC)
 * I will go ahead and merge, since that seems to be the consensus. Borock (talk) 17:35, 24 May 2012 (UTC)

I wish you guys had waited longer. The merger doesn't make sense to me. --Uncle Ed (talk) 15:40, 30 April 2013 (UTC)

This page has been tagged as may not meet notability guidelines and needing additional citations since its creation in June 2010. Blair is a member of a council for a small city (circa 40,000 residents), which I don't believe makes him notable.

Blair is only notable for one issue, so WP:BLP1E applies. That controversy does not seem to have had persistent coverage in the media. WP:N This man is not notable. Martin 4 5 1  21:31, 10 February 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete. Lacks reliable independent secondary sources to establish notability as required by WP:GNG and fails to present evidence that the subject should be presumed notable under WP:POLITICIAN or WP:ANYBIO despite the lack of sources.  Blogs are not considered reliable sources.  Googling turned up nothing useful.  Msnicki (talk) 21:52, 10 February 2015 (UTC)

Moreover, Prescott has about five thousand more population than Bangor. Billy Hathorn (talk) 04:02, 12 February 2015 (UTC)  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.
 * Keep There are twelve members or former members of the Bangor, Maine City Council with Wikipedia articles, at least two of whom went on to high office, William Cohen and John Balducci. This person was also a radio personality. The article needs improvement, more information helpful, but the subject is notable. Billy Hathorn (talk) 03:59, 12 February 2015 (UTC)

 * Comment @Billy Hathorn: WP:OSE and WP:CRYSTAL. The subject may be notable, but we should not care whether he is more notable that someone else or if he is likely to become notable. Tigraan (talk) 12:04, 17 February 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete Fails WP:POLITICIAN; city council members of smallish cities are not inherently notable. It doesn't matter if some other city council members from some other cities have articles; WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS is not a valid argument. He also fails WP:GNG; he attracted a little bit of coverage over statements he made as a local talk show host, but it was a short-lived, single-issue controversy of only local interest. --MelanieN (talk) 02:07, 2 March 2015 (UTC)

Instructional design/Affective behaviors/Examples

Under Construction
The first example was a scene from "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" in which a teacher is taking roll. He calls the name "Bueller" many time and nobody responds, so he simply repeats the name. This is non-example of receiving: the students are choosing not even to receive the message, let alone respond, value or any of the other stages.

In the "Shall We Dance" example

Valuing - here is an example of valuing. Homer Simpson quickly reaches the valuing stage.
 * Homer: Aw, twenty dollars! I wanted a peanut!
 * Homer's Brain: Twenty dollars can buy many peanuts!
 * Homer: Explain how!
 * Homer's Brain: Money can be exchanged for goods and services!
 * Homer: Woo-hoo!
