Nakhshabi

Ziya' al-Din Nakhshabi was a 14th-century Persian physician and Sufi living in India. He died in 1350. According to a statement in a manuscript now at The National Library of Medicine, Nakhshabi himself transcribed and illustrated a Persian translation made of a Hindi version of a Sanskrit treatise on sexual hygiene.

There are 5 full-page miniatures painted in a variety of opaque watercolors with gilt and two half or three-quarter miniatures, all of a provincial Mughal style typical of north-west India, especially Kashmir, in the 18th century.

No other particulars are known of Nakhshabi.

There are, however, a number of other Persian manuscripts which associate the name Ziya' Nakhshabi or Dhiya' al-Din Nakhshabi with versions of this ultimately Sanskrit treatise on sexual hygiene. And he is also known to have edited and added his own verses to a Persian translation called Tutinama of a Sanskrit collection of 52 tales narrated by a parrot (tuti in Persian) and a nightingale (sharak) to a woman in order to keep her away from a lover while her husband, a traveling merchant, was absent.

Abu al-Qasim al-Habib Neishapuri

Abu al-Qasim al-Habib Neishaburi was a Persian physician from Khorasan who lived before 1750CE. His name indicates he was from Nishapur.

He is known to have written two Arabic treatises on Prophetic medicine. One is in a unique copy now at The National Library of Medicine, copied in 1792CE, and the other is preserved in a unique copy now in Los Angeles that was copied in 1750CE.

Therefore, the author must have been active before 1750CE. Since he cites amongst his authorities Ibn Shahin, who composed his major work in 1453CE, we know that Naysaburi must have been active after the mid-15th century.

Nothing else is known about this author.

Robert Jensen

Robert William Jensen (born July 14, 1958) is a former professor of journalism from the University of Texas at Austin. From 1992 to 2018 he taught graduate and undergraduate courses in media law, ethics, and politics.

He has focused much of his work on the critique of pornography and of masculinity, developed in his 2017 book, The End of Patriarchy: Radical Feminism for Men. He also has written about white privilege and institutional racism. He also sits on the editorial board of the academic journal Sexualization, Media, and Society.

Early life
Jensen grew up in Fargo, North Dakota.

Education
In 1981, he received a Bachelor of Science degree from Moorhead State University (now Minnesota State University, Moorhead), and in 1985, he received a Master of Arts degree in journalism and public affairs from American University. In 1992 he completed his Ph.D. in media law and ethics in the School of Journalism and Mass Communication at the University of Minnesota.

Career and activism
Prior to his academic career, he worked as a reporter and copy editor for several newspapers, including the St. Petersburg Times and the St. Paul Pioneer Press.

Jensen writes for popular media, both alternative and mainstream. His opinion and analytic pieces on such subjects as foreign policy, politics, and race have appeared in papers around the U.S. He also is involved in a number of activist groups, including the Third Coast Activist Resource Center.

9/11 opinion piece
Jensen wrote an opinion piece for the Houston Chronicle on September 14, 2001, shortly after the September 11th terrorist attacks. In the piece, Jensen wrote that the September 11th terrorist attacks were "reprehensible and indefensible" but "no more despicable than the massive acts of terrorism – the deliberate killing of civilians for political purposes – that the U.S. government has committed during my lifetime."

Jensen's piece drew both praise and criticism. Some individuals demanded that The University of Texas fire Jensen. In response, University of Texas President Larry Faulkner wrote in a letter to the editor published in the Houston Chronicle that he was "disgusted by Jensen's article" and called Jensen "a fountain of undiluted foolishness on issues of public policy."

Views on transgender identity
In early July 2014, MonkeyWrench Books collective cut all ties with Jensen over his article reviewing two feminist books that critiqued transgender identity. These books were Sheila Jeffreys' Gender Hurts: A Feminist Analysis of the Politics of Transgenderism and Michael Schwalbe's Manhood Acts: Gender and the Practices of Domination. In the review published by Dissident Voice, Jensen concluded that, "On the surface, transgenderism may seem to be a more revolutionary approach, but radical feminism offers a deeper critique of the domination/subordination dynamic at the heart of patriarchy and a more promising path to liberation" which they felt "contributes to a dangerous culture of transphobia". In addition, Dexter M. Thomas wrote a rebuttal which was also published by Dissident Voice. Jensen responded by writing a follow-up article which elaborated on his views on the ecological and social implications of what he terms "trans ideology".

In 2024, Jensen published It’s Debatable: Talking Authentically about Tricky Topics at Olive Branch Press (an imprint of Interlink Publishing), a book discussing methods of conducting debates on controversial issues. Chapter 5, titled "Defining Sex/Gender: Beyond Trans Ideology", was left out of the original printing of the book; according to the official publisher's description, the chapter would discuss "the confused and confusing ideology of transgenderism". It was replaced in the book by a short note, where Jensen states that the publisher refused to include Chapter 5, due to their policy of support for transgender rights. The chapter was instead made available on Jensen's website.

Personal life
Jensen identifies as a radical Christian who rejects the supernatural claims of Christian orthodoxy. Jensen is married to musician Eliza Gilkyson.

Talk:Permission culture

thumb — Preceding unsigned comment added by 189.203.217.104 (talk) 05:07, 15 September 2016 (UTC)

Cleanup?
I'm removing the request for cleanup, as it was added by an IP rather than a logged in user, and there's been nothing on the talk page regarding what needs to be cleaned up.

If you disagree, please reply. Kharhaz

Second Meaning
I listed a second meaning of the term, which is actually the meaning I have more often heard used. One source is artist Nina Paley's interview with WNET television in New York, at http://www.thirteen.org/sites/reel13/blog/nina-sings-the-copyright-song/445/ (she uses the phrase that way in the full interview, see the second, longer video on that page). Is that a useful thing to cite? --Karl Fogel 03:33, 11 September 2009 (UTC)

Notable
I was reading the linked NYT article from 2004, which references Permission Culture. This seems notable to me, and the page is valuable.

Lawyer Peter Friedman writes on his blog at http://blogs.geniocity.com/friedman/tag/permission-culture/

It’s almost impossible to find a publisher these days that would sign off on even that snippet of eight words, claiming that they don’t want the liability of a lawsuit. I’ve had this discussion a few times with authors and publishers, and they all say the same thing: due to the potential liability of a lawsuit, even if it clearly does appear to be fair use, it’s just not worth using the quote.

This and other examples show that the idea of "you SHOULD seek permission first" rather than "fair use is the norm and always allowed" are cultural norms, and important ideas deserving of having their names available in Wikipedia.

Talk:Ed Broadbent

Untitled
Some more could be said about Broadbent's political views, including quotes. By the way, is he really a social democrat or is he a socialist who belongs to a social democratic party? - no name

I find his Biography strange that it says they had no children and only adopted. I would like to suggest it is re-worked as follows;

That year, he married a young Franco-Ontarian widow, Lucille Munroe; the couple also adopted a baby girl, Christine and Ed became the stepfather to Lucille's son Paul Broadbent, who is a defence policy specialist with the Ministry of Defence in London, England.

The contentious complex related to Psychodynamics
I believe I have found serious flaws in the Psychodynamics article which makes me question whether that article is at all valid and reliable. I have also nominated the related Category:Psychodynamic psychotherapy for deletion (see deletion discussion), a move which spurrred the creation of Category:Psychodynamics instead. However, this debacle appears to be all-encompassing as also this article, Psychodynamic psychotherapy, to my critical reasoning is founded on very loose thinking indeed. It starts by establishing regression as the psychodynamic foundation of this alleged psychotherapeutic discipline. To my knowledge regression is a psychological defense mechanism – hardly something you would want to base a therapeutic discipline on. There exists something called Regression therapy, although Wikipedia currently does not have an article about it, but I do not possess enough knowledge to ascertain if this might be what is meant here. The rest of the article seems to be an unsourced (the only given source is completely spurious) mishmash of other, established therapeutic disciplines leaving no clearly delineated definition of either Psychodynamic psychotherapy or Psychodynamics upon which this therapeutic approach is supposed to be based. According to User:Sadi Carnot in the ongoing category deletion discussion, this therapy was established in the 1920, so why doesn't the article reflect this? __meco 11:58, 15 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Regression is indeed a psychological defense mechanism - the therapist uses it in therapy to divulge the original relationship one has with the original caregiver. This relationship under these tenants is repeated throughout life, a kind of a template for how to relate to someone. If it is maladapted (usually because of a troubled past), then the template is flawed and causes considerable trouble for the person when their relationships as they dilly-dally through life are similarly poor and fettering. Thus they come in for therapy. Does this clear things up a bit?
 * User:Sadi Carnot says it was established in 1920? Does he have a ref or anything? I'm thinking this user is going at it straight from Freud, and even Freud had his muses.
 * This article is indeed unsourced mostly; now you can see the difficulty of clinical psychology articles on Wikipedia. Mostly the problem is this: can you whip up a big plate of ego, regression or denial? Can you hold it in your hand? Can you tell me how much it weighs? Not only does it deal with the intangible, but theories around it constantly change, reform, and renew. It just isn't easy to write a clinical article. I wish I could be more reassuring, but never the less such articles are important! JoeSmack Talk 12:51, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

 * I think the least we should demand from an article espousing to document a distinct therapeutic direction is some references to professional organizations, education, journals and so forth. The article provides no such citations. Instead we get references which carry the term "psychodynamic" in their title, however, this to me is very little in ways of such documentation as "psychodynamic" on its own is merely an rather generic adjective that I'm sure is being used across the entire field of psychology in various contexts, as well as within other disciplines with altorgether different connotations.

 * As for your explanation on the relation of regression to psychodynamics (is that in fact what you were attempting?), I was rather aware of these aspects of the term (except for your use of the word 'tenants' which doesn't make sense to me), however, beyond the prominent mention in the article, I see nothing that corroborates it being a central tenet to the discipline of Psychodynamic psychotherapy. The introduction of the article uses "regression" as an example of the "principles of Psychodynamics", however the Psychodynamics article itself gives no prominent place for regression. It is mentioned in the section on Jungian psychodynamics thusly: "The key concepts in Jungian psychodynamics are psychic energy or libido, value, equivalence, entropy, progression and regression, and canalization. Also, cathexis might be a word that conveys more relevant context than 'regression' in the way you focus on its relevance here. I have lots of other grievances with this article also, but I want to focus first on what has been introduced already. __meco 14:38, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

 * I believe I meant 'terms'. How strange. I should have also conjugated that verb to 'are'. Sorry. :)
 * I think cathexis is a bit more towards pure psychoanalysis. Anyways, I think we can all agree this article needs some serious work in prose, direction and references. Perhaps at this point we should wipe the slate clean and start over? Anyone willing to take a swing and be bold? JoeSmack Talk 16:59, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

 * I see User:Sadi Carnot is putting in an inordinate effort to improve the reference infrastructure for the Psychodynamics article, which I commend. Despite what may have been perceived by this user as an unforgiving assault on anything connected with Psychodynamics, I am in fact quite entertaining to the idea of collaborating on giving this field the best possible coverage which Wikipedia can provide. However, I still want the discussion to continue on which articles are in fact needed to cover this field properly. __meco 17:42, 15 May 2007 (UTC)
 * I find the re-write of the article by User:DashaKat to be a tremendous improvement over the previous version. As it currently reads (I have emphasized a couple of points related to its connection with psychoanalysis) I find it to be quite decent. However, I still note the lack of references when it comes to any disciplinary infrastructure such as any professional societies, standards or journals. __meco 08:40, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

 * Your compliments are well received on this end, and I thank you. My ad hominen was inappropriate, and unacceptable, while your response has been nothing but gracious.  My apologies are extended.

 * Mutual admiration aside, I appreciate your additions/emphasis, and agree with your concerns. The issue is that Psychodynamic psychotherapy is something of a "style", rather than a school of thought/application.  I suspect we could draw a line to people like Rogers, etc., but it would not likely be a straight one.  Thoughts? --DashaKat 11:51, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

why has a child cited their own essay as a source?
The tin. Why are people with no academic credentials putting their own essays as sources for this article? The technique proportion of this article has barely any content and what's their isn't sourced correctly. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 37.203.171.16 (talk) 16:40, 19 February 2021 (UTC)

Discussing evidence
"Psychodynamic psychotherapy is an evidence-based therapy (Shedler 2010) and its more intensive form, psychoanalysis is also evidence-based." This is not a useful way to discuss any intervention. They aren't either "evidence-based" or "not evidence-based". It should be replaced by the quality of evidence for specific outcomes, and the strength and limitations of the evidence.

Larry Faulkner

Larry Ray Faulkner (born November 26, 1944) is an American academic and businessman. He served as the twenty-seventh president of The University of Texas at Austin from 1998 to 2006, and as the president of the Houston Endowment Inc. from 2006 to 2012.

Early life
Originally from Shreveport, Louisiana, Faulkner obtained his Bachelor of Science degree in chemistry at Southern Methodist University in 1966 and his Ph.D. in chemistry from the University of Texas at Austin.

Career
He taught chemistry at the University of Texas, the University of Illinois, and Harvard University. He served as provost and vice chancellor for academic affairs at the University of Illinois. He served as president of the University of Texas at Austin from 1998 to 2006. On June 30, 2005, he announced that he would step down from his post in the spring of 2006. In December 2005, William C. Powers was officially named his successor and took office in February 2006. On February 9, 2006, The University of Texas System Board of Regents named Faulkner president emeritus, one of the system's highest distinctions. From 2006 to 2008, he chaired the National Mathematics Advisory Panel, a panel appointed by President George W. Bush to advise the President and the United States Secretary of Education on the best use of scientifically based research to advance the teaching and learning of mathematics. The final report of this panel, Foundations for Success, was released on March 13, 2008. The impact of this report on the writing of the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics can be seen in the latter's treatment of algebra. On August 13, 2010, the University of Texas at Austin's nanoscience building was named the Larry R. Faulkner Nano Science and Technology Building by the UT System Board of Regents in recognition of former president Faulkner's leadership in bringing the university's nanotechnology program to national prominence.

Woodend, Victoria

Woodend is a town in Victoria, Australia. The town is in the Shire of Macedon Ranges local government area and is bypassed to the east and north by the Calder Freeway (M79), located about halfway between Melbourne and Bendigo. At the, Woodend had a population of 6,732 and is located on the Country of the Dja Dja Wurrung, Taungurung and Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung Peoples who are traditional custodians of this area.

History
Woodend was first surveyed in 1836 by Major Thomas Mitchell, who opened it up for settlement. When gold was discovered in the area (towards Bendigo and Ballarat), Woodend became the main thoroughfare through the Black Forest, and accommodated many gold-diggers and their families. Woodend Post Office opened on the 20th of July 1854, however it closed shortly after, only to be reopened in one of the citizen's homes.

The Woodend Magistrates' Court closed on 1 January 1983.

Tourism and attractions
Woodend is close to such attractions as Mt Macedon and Hanging Rock located at nearby Newham, and numerous waterfalls. The area supports a large horse-racing community. Woodend's location in the foothills of the Great Dividing Range means that, unlike most of Australia, snowfalls are not uncommon. The Woodend Winter Arts Festival, held on the Queen's Birthday Weekend in June, is an event where artisans from around Australia gather to perform. The annual Melbourne Autumn Day (MAD) ride is held in Woodend by the Melbourne Bicycle Touring Club. Woodend Children's Park in the centre of the town provides a meeting place for young and old, locals and visitors: A park to explore, to enjoy, to play. Woodend Children's Park opened behind the service station in October 2009.

The largest sporting group in the town is the Woodend Junior Football Club which incorporates 190 players, from 130 families, playing in 8 junior teams ranging from Under 9's to Under 16's. There are several mountain bike tracks near Woodend, in the Wombat State Forest and also on Mount Macedon. The local Wombat MTB Club maintains the tracks in the area and arrange events and bike tours. Golfers play at the course of the Woodend Golf Club on Davy Street. The Woodend tennis club on Earnshaw St has 6 plexipave courts and its vibrant, progressive and rapidly growing membership has become a social hub for the local community.

The oldest church in Woodend is the Anglican Church of St Mary's, a Gothic bluestone building constructed in 1864. The church's stained glass windows were produced by William Montgomery (1850-1927), former president of the Victorian Artists Society.

Ketuhanan

PEMBEBASAN DAN PEMBERSIHAH SEDANG TUHAN MENGAJAR KAMU DENGAN KALAMNYA.

Bebaskan Iraq daripada penganiayaan Amerika dan asaskan Iraq dengan Asas Fundamantalis Islam untuk menafikan serta menamatkan asas yang di asaskan oleh Amerika melalui Order Baru Dunia New World Order yang membelakangkan Resolusi Pertubuhan Bangsa - Bangsa Bersatu.Kegagalan PBB bertindak ke atas Amerika adalah menjadi tanggungjawab seluruh Rakyat Iraq khususnya dan Umat Islam Amnya untuk meletakkan Iraq pada landasan yang betul iaitu Fundamental Islam. Dan rakyat Iraq secara sengaja boleh menolak apa-apa cadangan untuk mengasaskan negara itu mengikut acuan Barat melalui PEMBEBASAN yang berdiri atas TAUHID menjurus kepada satu kesatuan Umat.

Apa yang jelas, terdapat berbagai fahaman dan mazhab di Iraq dari sunni,syiah, kurdis dan golongan nationalis yang seperti bersiap sedia untuk menerajui negara Iraq melalui Pilihanraya anjuran Amerika atas nama demokrasi. Dalam pada itu kumpulan Tauhid Fil Jihad yang di anggap pengacau kepada proses pilihanraya menyelang akhir Januari 2005 ini jelas di istilahkan sebagai penganas.

Begitu juga dengan kumpulan dan jalinan Al-Qaeda begitu tekad menyerang kepentingan Amerika di mana-mana atas nama Islam. Setelah diingat betapa perjuangan mereka tidak dapat sokongan umat, maka Al - Qaedah mula mahu melihat dari menyerang kepentingan Amerika yang mengena orang awam kepada menyerang dan mencabar polisi Amerika. Kini yang nyata dunia sudah berubah dan perjuangan juga turut berubah.

Apakah mereka mengira bencana yang Tuhan timpa melalui gempa dan ribut Tsunami itu sia - sia, Tidak sama sekali tidak kerana ia adalah peryataan Zat Tuhan Haq melalui Ombak sebagai pembersihan muka bumi ini tanpa "coalition" yang mengena tidak kira samaada orang jahat atau baik yang iman atau yang fasik dan apakah kamu tidak berfikir betapa Tuhan mengajar kamu kembali mengenal asas pemerintahan kerana Dia Raja segala Raja dan melalui Dialah kamu melajar cara menyusun, mengatur, dan membentuk kembali masyarakat yang sudah kehilangan segalanya.Atas nama kemanusiaan yang dilihat dari Ketuhanan dan Ketuhanan di lihat pada Kemanusiaan akan hadir kesaksamaan dan keimanan serta ketaqwaan. Jauh dari berpolitik dalam menanggani masa gawat.

Francis A. Sullivan

Francis Alfred Sullivan (May 21, 1922 – October 23, 2019) was an American Catholic theologian and a Jesuit priest, best known for his research in the area of ecclesiology and the magisterium.

Early life and Jesuit formation
Francis "Frank" A. Sullivan was born in Boston on May 21, 1922, to George Edward and Bessie [Peterson] Sullivan, the second of four boys. (Contrary to his general bibliographical representation, his middle name is Alfred, not Aloysius. Another Jesuit, a classicist by the name of Francis Aloysius Sullivan, had already published his own work by the time Sullivan produced his own books. When Sullivan's Magisterium was submitted to the Library of Congress, they mistakenly identified him with this other Francis Sullivan, and assigned him that middle name, a circumstance to which he was ruefully resigned. )

Raised in an actively Catholic household, Sullivan became interested in the possibility of life as a Jesuit and as a teacher through the influence of Jesuit instructors he admired at Boston College High School, as well as his uncle Louis Sullivan, a Jesuit teaching at what was then known as Weston College (now the Boston College School of Theology and Ministry). Because Sullivan had been passed up two grades early in his education, he finished at Boston College High School when he was barely 16 years old, and immediately entered the Jesuit novitiate in 1938, which then allowed entry as early as the age of 15.

The Jesuits' novitiate at that time was in the donated Berkshire Cottage known as Shadowbrook in Lenox, Massachusetts. The novitiate was devoted to spiritual instruction and development, concentrating on instruction in the tradition of the Society of Jesus and its spirituality, and being guided through the full, month-long experience of Ignatius of Loyola's Spiritual Exercises. The way Jesuit formation was structured at the time, the novitiate was followed by the juniorate, devoted to two years of classical studies, equivalent to the first two years of undergraduate education. This was followed by two years of studying philosophy at Weston College, in a program tied to, and very similar to, the classical B.A. at Boston College. Sullivan was awarded his B.A. from Boston College in the spring of 1944. Then after a further third year of philosophy at Weston, he received a master's degree in philosophy from Boston College in 1945.

Sullivan was now 23 years old, and was close to reaching his original goal of teaching high school. All Jesuits-in-training taught high school for three years as a matter of course during their formation, in what was called their Regency. Sullivan served for two years teaching high school Latin, English, and Algebra to the students in Fairfield, Connecticut, where the Jesuits had just recently opened Fairfield College Preparatory School in 1942. Sullivan's Regency was cut short because his superior, John J. McEleney, had decided to prepare Sullivan for study in Patristics, with an eye toward his becoming a professor back at Weston College. He was therefore sent in 1947 to Fordham University in the Bronx for graduate work in Classics instead of the normal third year of teaching. With the possibility of becoming a teacher of Patristics before him, he wrote his Master's thesis on Clement of Alexandria's attitude toward Greek philosophy, and took his M.A. in 1948.

Sullivan then returned to Weston College to study theology for four years, leading to his priestly ordination in 1951, after the third year of theology had been completed. A fourth and final year of theology was then completed. Studying theology was a new experience for Sullivan, notably distinct from the classics focus of his education to this point, and was much more interesting as a subject matter to Sullivan than philosophy. His theological coursework was completed in 1952, and Father Sullivan was awarded the S.T.L. – the Sacrae Theologiae Licentiatus or Licentiate of Sacred Theology, which is the middle degree in the pontifical university system – by Weston College at the age of 30. He then took a break from his academic preparations for his "Tertianship," the final year of Jesuit spiritual formation leading to the Jesuit Final Vows, which Sullivan did at a house the Jesuits had in Pomfret, Connecticut.

Doctoral studies in Rome
Completing his Jesuit formation in 1953, Sullivan now had an exciting new experience on the horizon: he was being sent abroad for his doctoral studies, to the Jesuit's first and central university, founded by Ignatius of Loyola himself in 1551, the Pontifical Gregorian University in Rome. The new Provincial Superior who was sending Sullivan off on this next step was William E. Fitzgerald, who was perhaps unaware of Fr. McEleney's previous intention for Sullivan to teach Patristics, because now Fitzgerald was telling him that he would be returning to Weston to teach the part of the Fundamental Theology course dealing with Revelation. Making his way to Rome via Normandy, Paris and Lourdes with a group of Jesuit students, Sullivan excitedly soaked up both his first experience abroad and the new coursework.

Sullivan began to have a sense of his path becoming distinctive, because being sent abroad to the Gregorian for his doctoral work was his first major departure from the routine of regular Jesuit formation. Nevertheless, the shift in focus toward a goal of teaching Fundamental Theology and Revelation was less exciting for Sullivan, who would have preferred to carry on with the original idea of being a Patristics scholar, little knowing that he would actually end up in the field of Ecclesiology. At the Gregorian, Sullivan studied with two Ecclesiologists: the Dutch Sebastiaan Tromp and the Spaniard Timoteo Zapelena. Although he was in fact a Patristics scholar, Tromp was teaching the Theology of Revelation at the Gregorian. Ecclesiology at the time was centered on the text Mystici corporis Christi (often simply called Mystici corporis), the encyclical promulgated by Pope Pius XII on 29 June 1943, and Tromp was widely thought to have participated in the authoring of the text with the Pope. For all this ecclesiological work, Tromp was not the professor of Ecclesiology: that post was held by Zapelena. Sullivan noted that Zapelena held to a number of different points than were put forth in Mystici corporis, and in that way began to experience the diversity of ecclesiological positions possible as demonstrated by his own teachers.

For his dissertation, Sullivan did not find a subject in the field of Fundamental Theology that caught his attention at the time, and so he drew on his already-existing interest in Patristics. He focused on Theodore of Mopsuestia's Christology, since it was sufficient that Sullivan had prepared in his coursework to be able to teach Fundamental Theology upon his return to Weston: the choice of subject for the project was not bound in any way to that destiny which his Superior had designated for him. Discovering that professors at either the Biblical Institute or the Oriental Institute could direct dissertations at the Gregorian, Sullivan wrote under the direction of Fr. Ignacio Ortiz de Urbina at the Oriental Institute, who had written on Theodore. Sullivan finished his task in 1955, but since his dissertation, The Christology of Theodore of Mopsuestia, was not published until 1956, that is the date his degree was actually awarded. Having finished the work for the S.T.D. – the Sacrae Theologiae Doctor or Doctor of Sacred Theology, which is the final degree in the pontifical university system – Sullivan set off for Boston.

He was taking some of the summer to see more of Europe, as he did not have to be in Boston until August 1955, when he would also profess his Final Vows as a Jesuit. He was at the Jesuit house in Barcelona when an American friend arrived who surprised Sullivan with the news that Sullivan's assignment had changed: instead of teaching Fundamental Theology in Boston, he was listed as being assigned to Rome, although his friend knew nothing more than that. Sullivan wrote to his Superior, Fr. Fitzgerald and discovered that he had been tapped to teach Ecclesiology back at the Gregorian. Zapelena was approaching the mandatory retirement age of 75 and his health was declining. Afraid of a sudden gap in their faculty, the combination of Sullivan's availability and education was seized upon by the Gregorian University to guarantee that their program could continue uninterrupted. After a visit home, and feeling more than a little exiled, Sullivan returned to Rome to teach Ecclesiology at the Gregorian University, an academic ministry in which he would serve for the next 36 years, until his own mandatory retirement at the age of 70 in 1992.

Academic ministry
From 1956 until 1992, Sullivan was professor of ecclesiology at the Gregorian University, serving as dean from 1964 to 1970. Having been assigned to Rome unexpectedly, he received permission to take the fall semester of 1955 off, finishing work for the publication of his doctoral dissertation in Boston, and remaining close to his father, who was dying of lung cancer. Then in early 1956 he began to step into Fr. Timothy Zapelena's role as professor of Ecclesiology. Zapelena did not end up leaving the Gregorian immediately, and the two of them were both present during the 1955–56 school year. Sullivan began his work still using the book Zapelena had already prepared for his own Ecclesiology course. Zapelena had been teaching a two-semester course for many years, and since he was healthy enough to continue teaching for a little while longer, over the next two years, 1956–58, he and Sullivan split the course as it had been structured, with Sullivan teaching the first semester material and Zapelena teaching the second semester material. Sullivan assumed the full responsibility for the subject in 1958 and the first book derived from the course, De Ecclesia, was published in 1962. This was intended to be the first part of a two-volume work on the Church, but the advent of the Second Vatican Council disrupted those plans.

The Second Vatican Council re-articulated the theology of the Church so that the subject as Sullivan had been teaching it, largely based on Mystici corporis, was no longer adequate to the subject. Nor were professors any longer expected simply to publish Latin versions of their class notes as books. Sullivan had not been called to the council as a peritus, which was not surprising given that he was still quite a junior faculty member. Information as to the council's proceedings were kept quiet until published. However, much rumor had to say. Nevertheless, Sullivan was given access to one critical Vatican II document, the draft form of Lumen gentium, the Dogmatic Constitution on the Church. This happened when he was asked to address the American bishops on the topic of charisms, a concept found in Saint Paul, particularly in his descriptions of the Church in the First Epistle to the Corinthians, but which had fallen out of use in Catholic theological circles. Sullivan's research on this idea, as given in his presentation, was then offered to the council as a correction and advance upon the draft version by Sullivan's former Superior, John J. McEleney, who was now Archbishop of Kingston, Jamaica. In this way, Sullivan's theological work on charisms became part of the second paragraph of Lumen gentium 12. This theological preparation would have significant impact later in Sullivan's thought when he encountered the Catholic Charismatic Renewal.

Sullivan was named dean of the Faculty of Theology at the Gregorian University from 1964 to 1970, and it fell to him to revise the statutes of the university according to the norms put forward by the Congregation for Seminaries and Universities (now the Congregation for Catholic Education). While this extra work – without the assistance of a staff – was a great burden, Sullivan did restructure the faculty so that they were better able to conduct research as well as teach: for the first time having regular sabbaticals toward that end.

A number of prominent Catholic ecclesiologists have worked with or studied under Sullivan. Sullivan was on the dissertation committee of Avery Cardinal Dulles. Joseph Komonchak and Richard McBrien were also his students. William Cardinal Levada, formerly the Prefect of the Congregation of the Doctrine of the Faith, received his doctorate under Sullivan in 1971.

From 1992, Sullivan continued to teach graduate students as a professor of theology at Boston College. Only after the spring semester of 2009, when he turned 87, did Sullivan finally retire from teaching.

Disputed questions
As an actively researching theologian, Sullivan was a participant in a number of ongoing discussions and investigations of matters in dispute in the theological world. In response to the production of Hans Küng's controversial book ''Infallible? An Inquiry, Sullivan was provoked into thinking through a defense of the idea of the magisterium – the teaching authority in the Church – which eventually became his book Magisterium: Teaching Authority in the Catholic Church'', published in 1983.

In December 1995, he questioned the assertion of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith that the teaching reiterated in Ordinatio sacerdotalis regarding women's ordination had been infallibly taught. Sullivan wrote that "The question that remains is whether it is a clearly established fact that the bishops of the Catholic Church are as convinced by those reasons [against women priests] as Pope John Paul evidently is, and that, in exercising their proper role as judges and teachers of the faith, they have been unanimous in teaching that the exclusion of women from ordination to the priesthood is a divinely revealed truth to which all Catholics are obliged to give a definitive assent of faith. Unless this is manifestly the case, I do not see how it can be certain that this doctrine is taught infallibly by the ordinary and universal magisterium."

Sullivan also engaged in a number of long-running discussions over disputed questions, which extended across several years of Sullivan's retirement. With Germain Grisez he discussed the question of the infallibility of the Catholic Church's teaching on artificial contraception; with Adrian Gariuit, O.F.M., he argued the question of "dissent" within the Church; with Lawrence J. Welch, he engaged in a long conversation in theological journals about consensus among theologians as a criterion by which it could be determined whether a doctrine was taught universally by the Church; and with Karl Becker, S.J., he debated the meaning of what the Second Vatican Council meant by saying that the Church of Christ "subsisted in" the Roman Catholic Church.

Honors
In 1994, Sullivan received the John Courtney Murray Award, the chief honor given by the Catholic Theological Society of America, for his achievements, particularly in the field of ecclesiology.

On 19 May 2012, the Jesuit School of Theology of Santa Clara University awarded Sullivan an honorary Doctor of Divinity degree, citing him for his accessible writing, his contributions to the charismatic and ecumenical movements, his steadfast defense of the Second Vatican Council, his exemplary life of scholarship and faith, and his generosity and availability to all students and inquirers.

GIFs
GIFs are another example of remix culture. They are illustrations and small clips from films used for personal expressions on online conversations. Each clip is "looped, extended and repeated." GIFs take a specific movement from a form of mass media and reimagines, or remix, its meaning in the original context to use it as a form of personal expression in a different context.

Untitled
The page Participatory culture was recently redirected to the this page by another wikipedian. I must admit when I saw the other article I realized that the topics are very similar and I can see the benefits of possibly combining or at the very least linking these two articles. I do believe that “participatory culture” should not be simply redirected to “remix culture” because although they are similar they do have significant differences. “Participatory Culture” is a term that is slightly broader than the term “remix culture” as it includes content that is entirely created by the user in addition to the “remix culture,” which seems to focus primarily on copyright laws and the rights of producers and consumers rather than the entire phenomenon itself. Perhaps at some point these articles could be merged or simply linked together, but first I would like to create some discussion before action is taken.Quickwikinick 23:37, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
 * I agree. Though both terms are very much related, they are indeed two different entities. However, I wouldn't be opposed to having an internal link to the page in showcasing an example of its resemblance to the topic. When talking about memes, for example, it can be used to show the "participatory" factor in the action of creating and recreating the memes. -- KRCPhilmon (talk) 22:04, 26 January 2020 (UTC)

Based on Lessig's 'Remix'?
I'm not sure how that's possible. The external links at the bottom link to a "Remix Culture Symposium" from 2005. Remix was published in 2008. So it must be the case that the term existed (significantly enough to base a conference around it) before the book. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.226.210.113 (talk) 18:27, 23 April 2011 (UTC)

Incorrect Redirect
Just a heads up I'll be killing the sharing economy redirect to this article since it isn't appropriate once I finish writing an acceptable version of the replacement article. Nefariousski (talk) 23:27, 26 July 2012 (UTC)

Improvements/Suggestions Needed
-Remix culture is ever growing and has become intertwined with other cultures as well. I think this needs to be combined into Participatory Culture which involves the production and creation of new content from consumers, making them producers which was mentioned by Quickwikinick

Jessie E Nocella (talk) 15:38, 17 November 2016 (UTC)

-There should be a more direct correlation with the criticism of artists work being remixed. This process effects the work and income of the original creator which can last for years. Direct examples of artists work being used can prove the influence of remixing art. Jessie E Nocella (talk) 17:22, 20 November 2016 (UTC)

There is a lack of section for the idea of remix culture in religion. If history can be attributed to remixing so can the idea of biblical beliefs and how they have all added and contributed to each other to make new outlets out of the same concepts. Jessie E Nocella (talk) 17:42, 20 November 2016 (UTC)

References Added/Fixed
- There should be another reliable source added to the DRM portion of the article "This is primarily done in the form of Digital Rights Management (DRM), which imposes largely arbitrary restrictions on usage.

"Under copyright laws of many countries, anyone with the intent to remix an existing work is liable for lawsuit because the laws protect the intellectual property of the work.

Contribution Added
Intertwining of Media Cultures For Remix culture to survive it must be shared and created or "remixed" by contributors. This is where Participatory culture come into play, because consumers start participating by becoming contributors especially many teens growing up with these media cultures. [1] A book was published in 2013 by Henry Jenkins called "Reading in a Participatory Culture" which focuses on his technique of remixing the original story Moby Dick to make it a new and fresh experience for students. [2][3] This form of teaching enforces the correlation between participatory and remix culture while highlighting it's importance in evolving literature. Since media culture consumers start to look at art and content as something that can be repurposed or recreated therefore making them the producer.

Effects of Remix Culture on Artists Remix culture has created an environment that is nearly impossible for artists to have or own "original work". [4] Media and the internet has made art so public that it leaves the work up for other interpretation and in return, remixing. A major example of this in the 21st century is the idea of memes. Once art is put into cyberspace it is automatically assumed that someone else can come along and remix the picture. [5] For example the 1974 self-portrait created by artist Rene Magritte, Le Fils De L'Homm, was remixed and recreated by street artist Ron English in his piece Stereo Magritte. (http://flavorwire.com/192640/homages-in-art) [6]. Another example is the never-ending remix of Leonardo Da Vinci's piece Mona Lisa. This painting has been reproduced an uncountable amount of times with different faces and photoshop effects. Some remixed images include photoshopped images of Mr.Bean and an alien-like version: http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Zyui8l4jCKM/Ts4GkbirYtI/AAAAAAAACjw/zIJFK5LBLJs/s1600/alien+mona.jpg

'''(Under the "History" Sections) Remixing in Religion'''

Throughout history remix culture has been truthful not only in exchange of oral stories but also through the bible.[36][37] This is a book of stories and lessons that has been compiled and remixed over generations.[38] Eugene H. Peterson reinterpreted bible stories in his 2002 book "The Message// Remix" which makes the bible more simple for readers to interpret.[39] As another example, it is thought that the beliefs of Buddhism has influenced other religious practices and ways.[40] An idea of remixing dated back to the Quakers who would interpret the scripture and create a biblical narrative by using their own voices, which went against the "read-only" practice that was more common.[41]

 * looks fine for me. :) Shaddim (talk) 20:33, 4 December 2016 (UTC)

Jessie, I think that this is a really great start. Maybe to start off you can give more of a background of what remix culture is exactly. Some people do not know what it is. I think that your Wikipedia article could benefit from giving examples of what websites use remix cultures and give an in depth look at how remix culture is used and maybe use some examples of pictures of remix culture that people have made. I like how you used remix culture and the intertwining of participatory culture. I think that this is strong. I might just add some more examples of how this impacts people today especially on the media that we are looking at everyday. How is remix/participatory culture effecting the way we look at media, and changing the way we use it?

I think you could potentially find a little more information on how it effects artists, but its a great start. I agree with you on how its hard to make artists think and create originally. How can you elaborate this?

The history portion I think that it could benefit from more research which allows that portion to have more clarify and get your point across more clearly. If you have more information on this specific topic you can back up your facts and have a more cohesive article. Like I said this is a great start, I think your contributions could benefit from more research and sources to back up your points! Great work Jessie! NikosKouts4 (talk) 02:52, 7 December 2016 (UTC)

 * I've removed some of these changes, because the sources used were not reliable. At a quick glance, it looks like more should also be removed or replaced.

 * Fight against blogs? Defamed? They're nothing necessarily wrong with them, I just do not think they are reliable for Wikipedia in that context. It's not like this is a new thing, and Wikipedia isn't itself a reliable source anyway. If you want to defend those sources I removed, go ahead. Grayfell (talk) 23:15, 26 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Wikipedia IS a reliable source, proven by Nature. It think it is bad joke that we were tricked into arguing ourselves user generated & checked content is less reliable than other sources. It could (and I think SHOULD) argued we are peer reviewed comparable to scientific journals or paper. Shaddim (talk) 09:58, 27 April 2017 (UTC)

IBM Personal Computer XT
I'm not entirely sure why the IBM Personal Computer XT is a remix culture device. You couldn't do video editing on it, and its audio capabilities were quite rudimentary. Graphics were quite primitive by today's standards (none of the CGA or EGA card graphics modes had square pixels, to start with) -- see PC Paintbrush. It did bring word-processing capabilities to a wider number of people than ever before, and I guess you could interface it with MIDI with the help of some expensive hardware...

Giancarlo Guerrero Question
Question: What is the fine line between Remixing/Creating unique work inspired by someone else's work and copying someone else's work?

GiancarloXDXD (talk) 21:34, 29 July 2018 (UTC)Giancarlo Guerrero
 * Remixing is taking something that exists and putting it in a new context by adding something to it, creating a work that is only inspired by something else doesn't involve any direct copying, and copying is creating an exact replica. lethargilistic (talk) 00:31, 30 July 2018 (UTC)

Suggestions for improvement.
Below are some suggestions for article improvement.

Link (6) is no longer active and (7) does not appear to be on the subject. The two links/citations below could work instead: https://hls.harvard.edu/faculty/directory/10519/Lessig/

https://web.archive.org/web/20160402060619/https://www.scribd.com/doc/47089238/Remix “Remix.” Bloomsbury Academic The topic of copyright infringement and handicap assistance could also be included. The translation of books to audio books for the blind or visually impaired and translation of books and audio content to braille, along with devices that do this for them. The exemption of copyright was passed in 2012 and is seeking renewal. ( https://www.copyright.gov/1201/2014/petitions/American_Foundation_for_the_Blind_et_al_1201_Initial_Submission_2014.pdf ) This is an important part of copyright and stands as a perspective on why the topic should still be discussed.

Other small things:: -Link (10) comes from a trustworthy author but is a blog post. T -For the Music section of "Domains of Remixing." Software like LoopLabs, Logic and bandcamp could be included as well since they are known for their large collection of copyright-free loops and samples intended for remixing.

Hello Rob, I think your contribution is pretty good. However, the second sentence is very long, maybe you can make it two sentences. Also, by the end of the paragraph, you kind of say the same thing in two different sentences, you could make it one. Va.97mendez (talk) 14:50, 27 November 2018 (UTC)

Wikipedia Article Critique Project - article suggestions
Below I am listing some discussion and suggestions for improvement for this article, based on questions and prompts from an analysis assignment for my college Media Literacy class.

With 93 references, I did not have the time myself to search through and make sure each fact was being referenced with a reliable source, and this is something I think a few people should take the time to do on the article and edit it properly. I will use one moment, in particular, I found as an example. The third cited fact on the article was linked to a very poorly created website that had links to a YouTube series on it called, “Everything Is a Remix,” by Kirby Ferguson. I would not consider this source reliable or scholarly at all. I found a good research article that also has a definition for remix culture that I think would be a better source.

I came across a few links that when clicked on would not open or said that I could not access the page at this time – that could have been due to my own internet being a bit unstable, but a few of the links I could tell were not because of issues on my end. Most of the article was written well and was understandably informative, and I did not see any plagiarism, though a couple of sentences could be considered paraphrased. They were mostly after quotes were referenced and I think some of the editors of the article of the page may have paraphrased simply because they were too in the headspace of what they had just taken information from.

There are 93 sources listed throughout the article, so I was not able to check over every source to see if they were all neutral. I found sources that I thought may not be very reliable. I found a few YouTube video links and some blogs with articles discussing the information being mentioned. I personally don’t think a YouTube video is a very reliable source, but at the same time, I understand it is just a different format in which we can share our thoughts. I feel like this could lead to a bit more bias in what you are talking about when it is coming from a personal way of sharing information like in a video. For the most part, when there was bias in a source, it was noted and discussed properly. I feel like this article could really use some source combing however, just really making sure the sources pertain to relevant information in a scholarly and neutral format.

The article was rather long and while a lot of it was relevant to the topic, I felt like some of the information was bulky and unnecessary. The article covers a lot of ground and while it does take the time to spell out remix culture, I felt like the moments of depicting whether what I was reading was biased took away from the article and make it a bit distracting.

Personally, I felt as if the positive aspects of remix culture were highlighted a bit more than the negatives, so at times I felt as if what I was reading did have a bit of bias to them. It could be however that there simply aren’t as many negatives as possible to this culture than positive impacts. I think that some more research/information should be added about the negative impact remix culture is having on society.

While most of the information is about a decade or two old, I thought that there was enough current information sprinkled throughout the article that allowed it to have relevance. I think the topic and discussion of the app TikTok should be added into the article, however, as it is one of the newest and largest platforms out currently that largely remix culture. It would add a lot and help be an important example to readers learning about the topic because I think a large demographic could relate and connect to the app being used as an example as it is easy to understand the remix culture concept explained through the type of content people create on TikTok. Mlss00 (talk) 03:26, 6 October 2021 (UTC)

Article Draft - new topic addition suggestions
The app TikTok has become a relevant media platform that utilizes remix culture as a marketing and engagement technique, using it to market products to viewers while also entertaining them. Content creators and brands can now collaborate in an environment where remixing content is accepted and encouraged as a way to gain followers through creative videos following trending actions, audios, and memes. Older songs and celebrities are making comebacks by being attached to remix trends, their music or content is now being viewed again by being attached to a trend. Garnering attention for the artist and these bits is a marketing technique that makes viewers want to look into the artist more. Musicians like Doja Cat and Lil Nas X are two current musicians that have culminated their music in the TikTok remix culture. For example, "Remember (Walking In The Sand)" the 1960s song by the Shangri-Las has recently been remixed to an EDM track that brought more attention to the song and a following into it due to a popular TikTok trend circulating largely in 2020. These trending songs allow for music on TikTok to become spreadable and testable. Companies and artists can test out music bits and loops to see how successful they may become before fully releasing them. Mlss00 (talk) 03:05, 18 October 2021 (UTC)

Peer Review: This article is very organized and was very easy to understand. I think the example of "Remember" (Walking in the Sand) was a great idea to specify the information for readers and to help them understand more. I think the last two sentences would fit before the example because it flows better with the information given at the beginning of the paragraph. Some of the adverbs and adjectives used could be seen as biased such as the term "widely" to describe the content being viewed. I also think the term "rebirthed new life" can be seen as putting a positive light on TikTok when this is meant to be written in a neutral light. The term "prominent" before current musicians in the last sentence can be eliminated to prevent any biases from being shown. The first and last sources are both reliable sources because they come from an article and a book that has been peer-reviewed, but I cannot confirm that the second and third are reliable. They both come from media sites that I'm not too familiar with and they are not news sites such as The Times or Washington Post. Harrietmarcilla (talk) 16:01, 24 October 2021 (UTC)

Ignacio Bunye

Ignacio Rivera Bunye (born April 19, 1945 ) is a Filipino public official who retired in 2014 as Monetary Board Member of the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas, a post he held since July 3, 2008. Prior to his appointment as monetary board member, he served as the Press Secretary, acting Executive Secretary under Gloria Macapagal Arroyo, Congressman, and Mayor of Muntinlupa. He recently rejoined the Bank of the Philippine Islands as Independent Director.

Early life
Ignacio R. Bunye was born April 19, 1945, to Dr. Alfredo M. Bunye, Sr. and Sofia V. Rivera, a pre-war movie actress with the screen name Gloria Imperial whose younger sister Mila del Sol was also a movie darling of her time.

He took his early education at Itaas Elementary School and his secondary at Muntinlupa National High School where he graduated valedictorian. He took up Bachelor of Arts at Ateneo de Manila University and graduated in 1964 and Bachelor of Law in 1969. He also holds a Masters in Management degree from the Asian Institute of Management.

He worked at the Filipinas Foundation Inc. as Assistant Corporate Secretary from 1970 to 1975, Assistant Vice President of BPI Investment Corporation from 1976 to 1983 and Assistant Vice President for Corporate Banking and Treasury at the Bank of the Philippine Islands from 1983 to 1985.

Atty. Ignacio R. Bunye was a working student. He was a news reporter for the Philippine Daily Star from 1967 to 1969, for the DZMT News from 1965 to 1967 and a war correspondent in South Vietnam. As a DZMT reporter, he covered the Vietnam War and wrote a documentary entitled "The Other War," a first-person account of the activities of the Philippine Civic Action Group in Tay Ninh, South Vietnam. At the Daily Star, he wrote a number of articles, including a four-part series entitled "War Vignettes," a first-person account of events immediately after the Tet Offensive in South Vietnam in 1968.

He has been inducted as a member of the Manila Overseas Press Club. He is also a lifetime member of the National Press Club.

As well as being a lawyer by profession, Bunye has served in various executive positions at the Ayala Group of Companies, including as Assistant Vice President of the Ayala Investment and Development Corporation and the Bank of the Philippine Islands.

Mayor of Muntinlupa
When Corazon Aquino assumed presidency after the People Power Revolution in 1986, Bunye was designated Officer-in-Charge (OIC) of the then-municipality of Muntinlupa.

He was elected as Mayor of Muntinlupa from 1988 to 1998. As mayor, Bunye also served in a concurrent capacity as Chairman of the then Metropolitan Manila Authority from 1991 to 1992. The Metropolitan Manila Authority is the forerunner of the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority.

In 1995, Bunye was again reelected as Mayor of Muntinlupa for his last three-year term. During his 12-year stewardship, Muntinlupa metamorphosed from a fifth-class municipality into a highly urbanized city. Adopting proven corporate practices that he gained from working in the private sector, Bunye initiated the computeratization of Muntinlupa, streamlined operations and cut red tape, thus making Muntinlupa the business-friendly community that it is today. During his watch, Muntinlupa was consistently ranked by the Department of Finance as number one in Metro Manila in terms of realty tax collection efficiency.

He founded the Muntinlupa Polytechnic College, the city’s public college, which has since been converted into the Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Muntinlupa. He upgraded the public health centers and also established the city cemetery for Muntinlupa's poor.

Toward the end of his term as Mayor, Bunye laid the foundation for the establishment of the Ospital ng Muntinlupa through the acquisition of a five-hectare lot within Filinvest Corporate City, which is also the site of the future Civic Center Complex.

House of Representatives
Barred by law from seeking a fourth consecutive term as Mayor, Bunye ran for Congress in 1998 and became the first Congressman from the newly created lone district of Muntinlupa.

In Congress, Bunye continued to champion the cause of local governments, especially in providing them with greater fiscal autonomy.

Originally a member of the minority, Bunye was one of the fiscalizers of the 11th Congress. With the change of leadership toward the end of the 11th Congress, he became the Senior Deputy Majority Floor Leader of House Speaker Feliciano Belmonte, Jr.

Cabinet Member
Bunye had served as Press Secretary from July 16, 2002, to January 19, 2003, before he formally assumed the post of Presidential Spokesperson on January 20, 2003.

On August 24, 2004, he was again appointed as Press Secretary this time concurrently as Spokesperson. He was designated as Acting Executive Secretary from October 21–30, 2007, during which time he signed the papers pardoning former President Joseph Estrada. He also briefly held the position of Presidential Adviser on Political Affairs before assuming his position at the Monetary Board.

Bunye writes weekly columns for the Manila Bulletin, Tempo, People's Tonight, Sun Star, BusinessWeek Mindanao and Filipino Reporter. He authored a book entitled "Central Banking For Every Juan and Maria". He is a recipient of the Asian Institute of Management Honor and Prestige Award, Bangko Sentral Service Excellence Medal, Gran Orden de Isabela Catolica, and Order of Lakandula (Rank of Bayani).

Personal life
Bunye was married to Miraflor T. Oca, a pediatrician. She died on June 24, 2023. They have three children.

Indian pangolin

The Indian pangolin (Manis crassicaudata), also called thick-tailed pangolin and scaly anteater, is a pangolin native to the Indian subcontinent. Like other pangolins, it has large, overlapping scales on its body which act as armour. The colour of its scales varies depending on the colour of the earth in its surroundings. It can also curl itself into a ball as self-defence against predators such as the tiger. It is an insectivore feeding on ants and termites, digging them out of mounds and logs using its long claws, which are as long as its fore limbs. It is nocturnal and rests in deep burrows during the day.

It is not common anywhere in its range, and is threatened by hunting for its meat and various body parts used in traditional medicine.

Characteristics
The Indian pangolin is a solitary, shy, slow-moving, nocturnal mammal. It is about 84 - 122 cm long from head to tail, the tail usually being 33 - 47 cm long, and weighs 10 - 16 kg. Females are generally smaller than the males and have one pair of mammae. The pangolin possesses a cone-shaped head with small, dark eyes, and a long muzzle with a nose pad similar in color, or darker than, its pinkish-brown skin. It has powerful limbs, tipped with sharp, clawed digits. The pangolin has no teeth, but has strong stomach muscles to aid in digestion. The most noticeable characteristic of the pangolin is its massive, scaled armour which covers its upper face and its whole body with the exception of the belly and the inside of the legs. These protective scales are rigid and made of keratin. It has 160–200 scales in total, about 40–46% of which are located on the tail. Scales are 6.5 - 7 cm long, 8.5 cm wide, and weigh 7 - 10 g. The skin and scales make up about one-fourth to one-third of the total body mass of this species.

Distribution and habitat
The Indian pangolin has been recorded in various forest types, including Sri Lankan rainforest and plains to middle hill levels. It inhabits grasslands and secondary forests, and is well adapted to dry areas and desert regions, but prefers more barren, hilly regions. In Sri Lanka, it was sighted at an elevation of 1100 m, and in the Nilgiri mountains at 2300 m. It prefers soft and semi-sandy soil conditions suitable for digging burrows.

Behaviour and ecology
The Indian pangolin is nocturnal and mostly active intermittently between 17:00 and 05:00 hr. The peak period of activity was observed between 20:00–21:00 hr in captive individuals with some individual variation.

The Indian pangolin does not climb trees, but it does value the presence of trees, herbs, and shrubs in its habitat because it is easier to dig burrows around them. Features that promote an abundance of ants and termites like grasses, bare grounds, bases of trees, shrubs, roots, leaf litter, fallen logs and elephant feces are often present in pangolin habitats.

Pangolin burrows fall into one of two categories: feeding and living burrows. Feeding burrows are smaller than living burrows (though their sizes vary depending on the abundance of prey) and are created more frequently during the spring, when there is a greater availability of prey. Living burrows are wider, deeper, and more circular, and are occupied for a longer time than feeding burrows, as they are mainly used to sleep and rest during the day. After a few months, the pangolin abandons the burrow and digs a new one close to a food source. However, it is not uncommon for the pangolin to shift back to an old burrow.

Diet
The Indian pangolin is an almost exclusive insectivore and principally subsists on ants and termites, which it catches with a specially adapted long, sticky tongue. It is specialised to feed on ants and termites, but also forages for beetles and cockroaches. It feeds on the eggs, larvae, and adults of its prey, but eggs are the preferred choice. In the Potohar region of the Punjab province, the majority of its diet was found to consist of two types of ants, Camponotus confuci and Camponotus compressus. Other matter such as plant matter, stones, sand, and clay are consumed as well and in concert with strong stomach muscles aid in breaking down the food in the stomach. The Indian pangolin is nocturnal and uses its well-developed sense of smell to locate ant nests or termite mounds and other food sources. Foraging mostly takes place on the ground but may include arboreal ants, as seen in the rainforest canopy of Sri Lanka. Pangolins tear apart and dig into mounds by using the three centre claws on their forefeet, throwing loose soil backwards with their hind feet. When feeding, the rostral part of the pangolin's tongue is quickly inserted and withdrawn to capture prey. This movement is also used for drinking.

Reproduction
Few details are known about the breeding behaviour of the Indian pangolin. During the animal's mating period, females and males may share the same burrow and show some diurnal activities. Males have testes in a fold of the skin located in their groin areas. The female's embryo develops in one of the uterine horns. The gestation period lasts 65–70 days; the placenta is diffuse and not deciduate. Usually, a single young is born, but twins have been reported in this species. The young weigh 235–400 g at birth and measure roughly 30 cm. The newborn animals have open eyes, and soft scales with protruding hairs between them. The mother pangolin carries her young on her tail. When the mother and young are disturbed, the young pangolin is held against its mother's belly and protected by the mother's tail.

Threats
The Indian pangolin is threatened by poaching for its meat and scales, which are used and consumed by local people, but are also increasingly traded internationally. Various parts of the pangolin are valued as sources of food and medicine. The scales are used as an aphrodisiac, or made into rings or charms. The skins are used to manufacture leather goods, including boots and shoes. The majority of hunting is carried out by nomads and trained local hunters. Indian pangolin body parts have been trafficked for consumption in China since at least the early 2000s. Pangolins are the most heavily trafficked protected mammals. Other threats include habitat loss, e.g. through deforestation.

Conservation
The Indian pangolin is listed on CITES Appendix I since January 2017 and is protected in all range countries.

In captivity
Successful reproduction by Indian pangolins has been reported from several zoos, including Calcutta Zoo, Oklahoma Zoo, and Nandankanan Zoological Park. Pangolins were found to not show any significant morphological changes during pregnancy. Births in captivity have been reported throughout the year except for May and June. At birth a baby pangolin weighed 235 g and measured 30 cm in total length, including 12.5 cm of tail. A three-day-old Indian pangolin born at Oklahoma Zoo measured 310 mm from tip to tip with a 125 mm tail.

Local names
Within its range it is known as 'khawlyaa manjar', ”खवल्या मांजर" in Marathi; saal khapri in Chhattisgarhi, বন-ৰৌ bon-rou in Assamese;,  పొలుశు పంది or అలుగు in Telugu, eenampechi "ഈനാംപേച്ചി" in Malayalam, azhungu or alangu 'அலங்கு' in Tamil, bajrakapta 'ବଜ୍ରକାପ୍ତା' in Odia; kaballewa in Sinhala; chippu handi "ಚಿಪ್ಪು ಹಂದಿ" in Kannada.

Zakariya al-Qazwini

Zakariyya' al-Qazwini (full name: Abū Yaḥyā Zakariyyāʾ ibn Muḥammad ibn Maḥmūd al-Qazwīnī, أبو يحيى زكرياء بن محمد بن محمود القزويني), also known as Qazvini, (born c. 1203 in Qazvin, Iran and died 1283), was a cosmographer and geographer.

He belonged to a family of jurists originally descended from Anas bin Malik (a companion of the Islamic prophet Muhammad) which had been well established in Qazvin long before al-Qazwini was born.

His most famous work is the ʿAjāʾib al-makhlūqāt wa-gharāʾib al-mawjūdāt (lit. 'Wonders of the Creation and Unique [phenomena] of the Existence'), a seminal work in cosmography. He is also the author of the geographical dictionary Āthār al-bilād wa-akhbār al-ʿibād (lit. 'Monuments of the Lands and Historical Traditions about Their Peoples').

Career
Born in Qazvin, of either Persian or Arab ancestry, al-Qazwini served as a legal expert and judge in several localities in Iran. He traveled around in Mesopotamia and the Levant, and finally entered the circle patronized by the Ilkhanid governor of Baghdad, Ata-Malik Juvayni (d. 1283 CE).

It was to the latter that al-Qazwini dedicated his famous cosmography titled ʿAjāʾib al-makhlūqāt wa-gharāʾib al-mawjūdāt (lit. 'Wonders of the Creation and Unique [phenomena] of the Existence'). This treatise, frequently illustrated, was immensely popular and is preserved today in many copies. It was translated into his native Persian language, and later also into Turkish. Al-Qazwini was also well known for his geographical dictionary Āthār al-bilād wa-akhbār al-ʿibād (lit. 'Monuments of the Lands and Historical Traditions about Their Peoples'). Both of these treatises reflect extensive reading and learning in a wide range of disciplines.
