=Citizendium Entry Redraft=
<i>The following is an initial draft reworking and slimming of https://en.citizendium.org/wiki/Citizendium. Before making any changes on that page, I thought I would try out some ideas here. The main focus of this rewrite is to recast the existing page as a recap of CZ's very legit. history. </i>


(These sections are being written for addition to the [[Public]] article I've been working on.)
From its start more than 15 years ago, the Citizendium has been an evolving concept and an unfolding project. It is currently undergoing another of several fundamental evolutionary stages in its history.  


===Dewey and Lippman on Publics===
==Evolution of the Citizendium==
{{Image|Citizendium, the Citizens' Compendium front page 2016-07-01 17-41-54.png|right|400px|Citizendium home page in July 2016.}}
The '''Citizendium''' (''si-tih-ZEN-dee-um'', "a [[citizen]]s' compendium") began as a [[wiki]]-based free [[encyclopedia]] project founded in 2007 by [[Larry Sanger]], who also co-founded [[Wikipedia]].  It began at a time when several aspects of the Wikipedia model were matters of great controversy and most educators were actively discouraging ANY reliance on Wikipedia as a legitimate reference.  The Citizendium allowed users to write and edit articles on many subjects, but required them to register and edit under their real, verified names.  From its earliest months, the Citizendium has a [[CZ:Policies|policy document]] which set out members' rights and responsibilities.


The project aimed to improve on the Wikipedia model by providing reliable and high-quality content,<ref>[[CZ:Fundamentals|The Citizendium's Statement of Fundamental Policies]]. Accessed September 6, 2007.</ref> and its content was first envisioned as a complete "[[Fork (software development)|fork]]" of the English language Wikipedia. However, the project abandoned that idea prior its public launch and elected instead to focus on developing its own original articles, though it always allowed material from other wikis to be used with attribution. Citizendium's own articles are released under a [[Creative Commons]] license that allows acknowledged duplication.


[[Walter Lippmann]] (1889-1974) was a working journalist and political commentator whose theorizing exercised a powerful influence on twentieth century views of the public. Along with [[Herbert Croly]] and [[Walter Weyl]], Lippman was one of the founding editors of [[The New Republic]] and a highly influential force in American [[journalism]] during the first half of the twentieth century. Among other notable contributions, he popularized use of the term "stereotype" which in his definition referred to "the pictures in our heads". In addition to his role as a journalist, Lippman was an a [[WASP]] elitist who also served as an informal advisor to a number of U.S. presidents from [[Woodrow Wilson]] through [[Lyndon Johnson]].
Another of the major departures from the Wikipedia model was the distinction between authors and editors and the development of an extensive editorial approval process that produced a relatively smaller number of "citable" articles approved by expert editors. Another departure was the development of Eduzendium, a project aimed explicitly


In ''[[Public Opinion]]'' (1922) Lippmann offered his fullest statement of a strongly elitist view of [[representative democracy]], the [[#general public]] and a passive, information-processing view of public opinion formation. Lippmann argued that modern industrial democracies was too complex for average citizens to effectively understand  and direct. Government must be largely carried out by an expert-based [[governing class]]. He saw the accuracy of news and the protection of journalistic sources as the principal problem of democracy and presented the public largely in [[Plato|Platonic]] terms as a bewildered and rather passive herd. In modern, [[industrial society]], according to Lippmann, it was the job of the [[journalism|journalist]] to translate the actions and motives of the "governing class" of bureaucratic experts and specialists into terms that the general public could comprehend. He found the notion of actual government by the people (as opposed to their better-informed representatives) altogether implausible. Three years later, in ''[[The Phantom Public]]'' (1925), his view reached what proved to be for him its outer limit when Lippmann recognized that members of the [[governing class]] of experts could themselves be outsiders to any particular problem. Apart from the few who understood any particular issue, even other experts were not possessed of sufficient accurate information to be capable of effective action. (Lippmann may have been influenced in this view, some authorities believe, by the views of European [[Fascism|Facists]] who were already in power in [[Italy]] and gaining strength elsewhere in Europe at the time or by advocates of [[technocracy]].) Lippmann’s view is that public affairs are largely the responsibility of elected representatives and appointed officials who are expert elites. Many other progressives expressed similar views, including [[Woodrow Wilson]], [[Herbert Croly]] and [[Mary Parker Follett]]'s early (1896)  study of the U.S. House of Representatives. <ref> </ref>  
Citizendium was introduced as a "beta" (in development) project on March 25, 2007. After project members voted for a new Charter in September 2010, the "beta" tag was dropped in 2011. The project currently has {{PAGESINCAT:CZ Live}} articles in varying stages of development, of which {{PAGESINCAT:Citable versions of articles}} are approved.<ref>[[:Category:Citable versions of articles|List of and links to Citable Articles]].</ref>


Two years later, in ''The Public and its Problems'', <ref>John Dewey. The Public and Its Problems. New York: Holt. 1927</ref> [[John Dewey]], perhaps the best-known American philosopher and public intellectual of the first half of the twentieth century, offered a response to Lippmann’s defense of representative democracy. In contrast to Lippman's expert model of representative democracy, Dewey argued that politics is the responsibility of all citizens, and that adequate education would provide citizens with the knowledge needed to be involved in politics. In the Dewey model, there was a place for ordinary  citizens along side elites, and experts in government, and  journalism assumed an educational role. Dewey also worked out the implications of expertise for the public as well as leaders: In reply to Lippman's implied (and debilitating) [[division of labor]] among experts, he posited multiple publics with specialized and focused interests paralleling those of the experts. Decades later, the political researcher and theorist [[Robert Dahl]] in a study of New Haven politics detailed similar public dynamics between experts, elites and interested publics and numerous other political studies have detailed focused publics as "constituencies" of public bureaucracies. At the same time David Easton and other [[political systems]] theorists theorized feedback loop ( notably "[[#public opinion]]") back to the experts and leaders, and Lazarsfeld and Katz identified a "two-step flow" of communication in which [[#public opinion]] formation was mediated by an even more complex division of labor involving not only experts and publics but also "opinion leaders" whose greater expertise and knowledge is recognized by other members of the public who take their cues

Dewey also revisioned journalism to fit this model by taking the focus from actions or happenings and changing the structure to focus on choices, consequences, and conditions, in order to foster conversation and improve the generation of knowledge in the community. Journalism would not just produce a static product that told of what had already happened, but the news would be in a constant state of evolution as the community added value by generating knowledge. The audience would disappear, to be replaced by citizens and collaborators who would essentially be users, doing more with the news than simply reading it.
==Structure==
The Citizendium has always been run according to a set of [[CZ:Policies|policies]]. The community itself, through consensus and discussion, is responsible for shaping the content of articles, as well as funding, appointments, and other administrative matters. Members may be elected or appointed to represent the project, make interim decisions and mediate disputes.  


Dewey’s journalism was revolutionary because it changed the structure from choosing a winner of a given situation to posing alternatives and exploring consequences. His effort to change journalism, involve citizens, stimulation, was all under the auspices of creating the Great Community he wrote of in The Public and its Problems: “Till the Great Society is converted in to a Great Community, the Public will remain in eclipse. Communication can alone create a great community” (Dewey, pg. 144).
Members of the project are called "Citizens". They are further divided into "Authors", who are regular project members, and "Editors", who are recognized experts with the power to approve versions of articles and take content-related decisions in their subject fields. All Editors are also Authors, in that they can contribute as non-experts to any other articles.
Other roles include: the [[CZ:Technical Team|technical staff]], who maintain the [[software]] and [[server]]s of the wiki; the [[CZ:Moderator Group|Moderator Group]], which monitors behavior and maintains order in discussions; and the Treasurer, who administers the project's finances. Other positions may be created as necessary, such as a temporary Election Committee to run ballots. All Citizens are entitled to one vote in any election.


Dewey believed that communication creates a great community, and citizens who actively participate in public life contribute to that community. "The clear consciousness of a communal life, in all its implications, constitutes the idea of democracy." (The Public and its Problems, p. 149). This Great Community can only occur with "free and full intercommunication." (p. 211) Communication can be understood as journalism - the traditional forum in which people communicate.
==Origin of Citizendium==
{{Image|Larry-Sanger at WOS4.jpg|right|222px|[[Larry Sanger]] announced the ''Citizendium'' on September 15, 2006, at the Wizards of OS 4 conference in Berlin.}}
 
[[Larry Sanger]], co-founder of Wikipedia, former Editor-in-Chief of [[Nupedia]], and consultant to other web-encyclopedia projects such as the [[Encyclopedia of Earth]], announced the concept for Citizendium on September 15, 2006 at Berlin's [[Wizards of OS]] 4 conference. The project moved on to a pilot phase in October, and formally launched on March 25, 2007.
 
==Fundamental principles==
Like Wikipedia, Citizendium began as a project to prepare an encyclopedia-like compendium through the collaborative writing approach known as 'wiki'.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://c2.com/doc/etymology.html|date=November 2003|title=Correspondence on the Etymology of Wiki|accessdate=09-05-2007}}</ref>
 
Citizendium was founded on the following organizational principles that, for the most part, distinguish it from Wikipedia. These principles are maintained by the project's [[CZ:Policies|policies]], which superseded the previous [[CZ:Charter|Charter]] in November 2016. The Charter in turn replaced the original '[[CZ:Fundamentals|Statement of Fundamental Policies]]' in 2010.
 
The policy document comprises the only binding set of rules on the project; previous rules have the status of guidance only.
 
===A Collaboration of Citizens (Peers)===
The original Citizendium was an open wiki: the public was invited to participate and edit most pages. Even then anonymous edits were not allowed, but in principle registered citizens could edit most pages. However, Citizendium has always required that all contributors edit under their real name, as this is thought to reduced [[vandalism]], encourage a civil atmosphere, and help readers to judge how accurate an article may be. Any applicant must not only declare that the name they have submitted is their own, but must submit evidence that verifies this. Common verification methods include use of a non-free e-mail address, such as one used at an educational institution or company, or the submission of scanned identity documents such as a driver's license (information other than the applicant's name may be blacked out). Minors are asked to provide less personal information, while applicants seeking to become Editors are required to provide more extensive evidence of their qualifications or experience. All contributors must also maintain a public biography about themselves, to give readers some idea of the knowledge or abilities the Citizen has brought to their edits.
 
===Expert contribution===
On Wikipedia and other projects, an "editor" is any user who can edit pages. On Citizendium, however, an "Editor" was a recognised expert in one or more fields. Editors are also "Authors", i.e. regular contributors to the project, but they were also able to make final decisions on content in their field(s) of expertise, and may also approve versions of articles as "citable", i.e. of reasonably good quality.
 
Founding Editor-in-Chief Larry Sanger promoted the shift to expertise, saying: "people who know a great deal about a subject, who are recognized by various societal mechanisms for that knowledge, can add a great of value to Web 2.0 projects, if they are given special roles that recognize their expertise."<ref>Sanger (2006) ''Why Make Room for Experts in Web 2.0'' Keynote delivered at SDForum, San Jose, California, Oct. 24, 2006, retrieved from [http://www.citizendium.org/roomforexperts.html http://www.citizendium.org/roomforexperts.html] on May 7, 2007.</ref> Using a metaphor from [[Eric S. Raymond|Eric S. Raymond's]] story about ''[[The Cathedral and the Bazaar]]'', Sanger suggested that we "Think of editors as the village elders wandering the bazaar and occasionally dispensing advice and reining in the wayward. Their presence is merely a moderating, civilizing influence. They don't stop the bazaar from being a bazaar."<ref>Sanger (2006) ''The Citizendium FAQ'', retrieved from [http://www.citizendium.org/faq.html#editors http://www.citizendium.org/faq.html#editors] on May 7, 2007.</ref>
 
===Citable articles===
In the earlier rendition, an Editor could declare a version of an article essentially complete and of reasonably good quality. A copy of this approved version was then made available, locked to further editing, on a subpage of the main article. The article itself remains freely editable and can later be re-approved and replace the citable version. That process has not been set aside. Henceforth, no additional articles will be certified as citable.
 
===Article inclusion policy===
Citizendium stlll has no equivalent of the Wikipedia "notability" policy, so articles on subjects which many readers might consider obscure are acceptable. Instead, the project has an [[CZ:ARticle Inclusion Policy|article inclusion policy]] which sets out the reasons under which a page may be deleted or archived on content grounds. These grounds include: significant weaknesses in the material; lack of importance to the project; little chance of the material being improved due to lack of interest.

The '''Association for Research on Nonprofit Organizations and Voluntary Action''' '''(ARNOVA)''' was established in 1989 in a re-organization and broadening of the mission of the [[Association of Voluntary Action Scholars]]. The association has more than 1,000 members from more than two dozen disciplines and professions and is the sponsor of the peer-reviewed academic journal [[Nonprofit and Voluntary Sector Quarterly]]. The association headquarters are in [[Indianapolis, Indiana]] on the campus of [[Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis|IUPUI]].

'''Association of Voluntary Action Scholars'''
 
The '''Association of Voluntary Action Scholars''' was established in 1972 by [[David Horton Smith]] and a number of colleagues. The [[Journal of Voluntary Action Research]] (1973-1988) was the official journal of the association.
 
 
==Drive-In Theaters==
After the number of drive-in theaters had shrunk from over 4,000 to under 400, attendance at drive-ins rose dramatically during the Covid19 pandemic.
 
==Modern House==
 
"Modern House" refers to a residential dwelling or structure incorporating some or all of a number of "modern" features, including any or all of the following  incorporated into the original design and construction:
 
: Electrical wiring and outlets
: internet connectivity/local area networks
: Small and large appliances
: Indoor plumbing, particularly running water and sewage service for the removal of human and household wastes
: Piped in 'natural gas' for cooking or heating
: Central heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC)
: Modern kitchen facilities such as electric or gas stoves for cooking, ovens, refrigeration and freezers for food storage
: Garages or carports designed for automobiles
: "Open plan" design features, such as:
::: - Absence of walls between functional areas
::: - Curtain (non-load bearing) walls
::: - Archways, pass throughs and counters
::: - More and larger windows and glass expanses (including window walls)
::: - "Family rooms", dens or recreation rooms
 
Modern houses also use new or innovative building materials including:
::: Concrete
::: Plywood and various processed (kiln-dried, chemically treated, pre-stressed, et. al.) wood products
::: Plastics and synthetic materials for pipes, counters, insulation and waterproofing foundations and many other features
::: Wall board rather than lathe and plaster walls
::: Latex paints
 
Modern houses also tend to use innovative construction techniques including:
::: Flat pitched roofs with wider overhangs
::: Cantilevered porches
::: Single-story designs emphasizing horizontal
::: Eight foot to three meter ceiling heights rather than higher (12 foot to 4 meter) ceilings
 
To incorporate or retrofit any of these modern features into an older house (e.g., to bring running water, indoor plumbing, or electricity into an older farm house) is frequently referred to as "modernizing" it.
 
Individual modern houses may also be part of larger multi-house complexes built simultaneously, concurrently or sequentially, known as estates, tracts, developments, suburbs, or subdivisions. Sometimes such developments are derisively called "mass produced" housing.
 
Modern houses also tend to be characterized by the absence of certain features such as:
 
: Carriage houses or barns for horses
: Hitching posts
: Porte corcheres
: Separate rooms, wings or entire floors for "live in" servants or employees
: Parlors and specialized rooms for "receiving" guests
:
 
=Origins of The Modern House=
 
Architecturally, the international origins of the modern house can be traced to a variety of influences, notably two architects the American [[Frank Lloyd Wright]] and the French architect Charles-Édouard Jeanneret-Gris, better known as [[Le Corbusier]] and a host of less celebrated architects of the [[Bauhaus]], [[Prairie School]], and [[International Style]]

=Jon Van Til=
'''Jon Van Til''' is one of the pioneers in [[nonprofit organization]] research and education and the [[Voluntary sector|third sector]], with particular interests in [[voluntary action]], [[civil society]] and theories of the third sector. Dr. Van Til is Professor Emeritus of Urban Studies and Community Planning at Rutgers University, Camden.
 
He was born in 1939 in [[Columbus OH]] to Professor [[William Van Til]] and Beatrice (Blaha) Van Til. He is married to Agnes Kover-Van Til; and has two children from an earlier marriage: Ross Van Til of [[Louisville, Colorado]] and Claire Van Til of [[Philadelphia, Pennsylvania|Philadelphia]]. Van Til received a BA (High Honors; [[Phi Beta Kappa]]) from Swarthmore College in [[Political Science]] in 1961 and an MA in [[Sociology]] from the [[University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill]] in 1963. He earned a Ph.D. in Sociology from the [[University of California, Berkeley]] in 1970. His dissertation title is “Becoming Participants: Dynamics of Access Among the Welfare Poor”. ([[Robert Blauner]], advisor)
 
==Recent Work==
His recent writings on social movements in Hungary are reported in two co-edited books and in contributed articles in the Huffington Post. Van Til divides his time between homes in Seelyville, Indiana and Budapest. He is married to Agnes Kover, the Hungarian human rights lawyer and sociologist.
 
Van Til is the past director of the Pennsylvania Law and Justice Institute (1972–1974), and served as Editor-in-Chief of [[Nonprofit and Voluntary Sector Quarterly]] from 1989-1992 (formerly the [[Journal of Voluntary Action Research]] from 1978 through 1989. He was twice elected President of the [[Association of Voluntary Action Scholars]], and is the founding Board Chair of the Center for Nonprofit Corporations (Trenton, New Jersey). Van Til has also served as a Trustee of the [[George H. Gallup International Institute]]. Among the national clients of Van Til's consulting in the area of voluntary and nonprofit action have been the National Service Secretariat, the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, Health Visions Inc., the University of Colorado, the University of Pennsylvania, and the United Way of Central Indiana.
 
In 1991 he was recognized as "Creative Teacher of the Year" at Rutgers for developing his campus' program in Citizenship and Service Education. In 1994, he received the Career Award for Distinguished Research and Service from the Association for Research in Nonprofit Organizations and Voluntary Action.
 
Van Til was named Fulbright Distinguished Professor at the University of Ulster during the Spring term, 2004, serving in the Magee College’s INCORE and Centre for Voluntary Action Studies. In the academic year 2005–6 he served as Fulbright Senior Specialist at INCORE.
 
Van Til served as Fulbright Specialist to Hungary's ELTE University for the academic year 2010–11, and at the Budapest University of Jewish Studies in 2014. He continues at that university at present, serving as visiting senior scholar and an active pracademic in the Budapest community. He also serves as senior visiting scholar at the Indiana University Lilly Family School of Philanthropy.
 
Van Til also served as President of the Philadelphia/Delaware Valley Chapter of the [[Fulbright Association]], and as Anna Deane Carlson Distinguished Visiting Chair in Social Science at [[West Virginia University]] from 2003–05.

Citizendium Entry Redraft

The following is an initial draft reworking and slimming of https://en.citizendium.org/wiki/Citizendium. Before making any changes on that page, I thought I would try out some ideas here. The main focus of this rewrite is to recast the existing page as a recap of CZ's very legit. history.

From its start more than 15 years ago, the Citizendium has been an evolving concept and an unfolding project. It is currently undergoing another of several fundamental evolutionary stages in its history.

Evolution of the Citizendium

(CC) Screenshot: Citizendium
Citizendium home page in July 2016.

The Citizendium (si-tih-ZEN-dee-um, "a citizens' compendium") began as a wiki-based free encyclopedia project founded in 2007 by Larry Sanger, who also co-founded Wikipedia. It began at a time when several aspects of the Wikipedia model were matters of great controversy and most educators were actively discouraging ANY reliance on Wikipedia as a legitimate reference. The Citizendium allowed users to write and edit articles on many subjects, but required them to register and edit under their real, verified names. From its earliest months, the Citizendium has a policy document which set out members' rights and responsibilities.

The project aimed to improve on the Wikipedia model by providing reliable and high-quality content,[1] and its content was first envisioned as a complete "fork" of the English language Wikipedia. However, the project abandoned that idea prior its public launch and elected instead to focus on developing its own original articles, though it always allowed material from other wikis to be used with attribution. Citizendium's own articles are released under a Creative Commons license that allows acknowledged duplication.

Another of the major departures from the Wikipedia model was the distinction between authors and editors and the development of an extensive editorial approval process that produced a relatively smaller number of "citable" articles approved by expert editors. Another departure was the development of Eduzendium, a project aimed explicitly

Citizendium was introduced as a "beta" (in development) project on March 25, 2007. After project members voted for a new Charter in September 2010, the "beta" tag was dropped in 2011. The project currently has 16,469 articles in varying stages of development, of which 146 are approved.[2]


Structure

The Citizendium has always been run according to a set of policies. The community itself, through consensus and discussion, is responsible for shaping the content of articles, as well as funding, appointments, and other administrative matters. Members may be elected or appointed to represent the project, make interim decisions and mediate disputes.

Members of the project are called "Citizens". They are further divided into "Authors", who are regular project members, and "Editors", who are recognized experts with the power to approve versions of articles and take content-related decisions in their subject fields. All Editors are also Authors, in that they can contribute as non-experts to any other articles. Other roles include: the technical staff, who maintain the software and servers of the wiki; the Moderator Group, which monitors behavior and maintains order in discussions; and the Treasurer, who administers the project's finances. Other positions may be created as necessary, such as a temporary Election Committee to run ballots. All Citizens are entitled to one vote in any election.

Origin of Citizendium

Larry Sanger announced the Citizendium on September 15, 2006, at the Wizards of OS 4 conference in Berlin.

Larry Sanger, co-founder of Wikipedia, former Editor-in-Chief of Nupedia, and consultant to other web-encyclopedia projects such as the Encyclopedia of Earth, announced the concept for Citizendium on September 15, 2006 at Berlin's Wizards of OS 4 conference. The project moved on to a pilot phase in October, and formally launched on March 25, 2007.

Fundamental principles

Like Wikipedia, Citizendium began as a project to prepare an encyclopedia-like compendium through the collaborative writing approach known as 'wiki'.[3]

Citizendium was founded on the following organizational principles that, for the most part, distinguish it from Wikipedia. These principles are maintained by the project's policies, which superseded the previous Charter in November 2016. The Charter in turn replaced the original 'Statement of Fundamental Policies' in 2010.

The policy document comprises the only binding set of rules on the project; previous rules have the status of guidance only.

A Collaboration of Citizens (Peers)

The original Citizendium was an open wiki: the public was invited to participate and edit most pages. Even then anonymous edits were not allowed, but in principle registered citizens could edit most pages. However, Citizendium has always required that all contributors edit under their real name, as this is thought to reduced vandalism, encourage a civil atmosphere, and help readers to judge how accurate an article may be. Any applicant must not only declare that the name they have submitted is their own, but must submit evidence that verifies this. Common verification methods include use of a non-free e-mail address, such as one used at an educational institution or company, or the submission of scanned identity documents such as a driver's license (information other than the applicant's name may be blacked out). Minors are asked to provide less personal information, while applicants seeking to become Editors are required to provide more extensive evidence of their qualifications or experience. All contributors must also maintain a public biography about themselves, to give readers some idea of the knowledge or abilities the Citizen has brought to their edits.

Expert contribution

On Wikipedia and other projects, an "editor" is any user who can edit pages. On Citizendium, however, an "Editor" was a recognised expert in one or more fields. Editors are also "Authors", i.e. regular contributors to the project, but they were also able to make final decisions on content in their field(s) of expertise, and may also approve versions of articles as "citable", i.e. of reasonably good quality.

Founding Editor-in-Chief Larry Sanger promoted the shift to expertise, saying: "people who know a great deal about a subject, who are recognized by various societal mechanisms for that knowledge, can add a great of value to Web 2.0 projects, if they are given special roles that recognize their expertise."[4] Using a metaphor from Eric S. Raymond's story about The Cathedral and the Bazaar, Sanger suggested that we "Think of editors as the village elders wandering the bazaar and occasionally dispensing advice and reining in the wayward. Their presence is merely a moderating, civilizing influence. They don't stop the bazaar from being a bazaar."[5]

Citable articles

In the earlier rendition, an Editor could declare a version of an article essentially complete and of reasonably good quality. A copy of this approved version was then made available, locked to further editing, on a subpage of the main article. The article itself remains freely editable and can later be re-approved and replace the citable version. That process has not been set aside. Henceforth, no additional articles will be certified as citable.

Article inclusion policy

Citizendium stlll has no equivalent of the Wikipedia "notability" policy, so articles on subjects which many readers might consider obscure are acceptable. Instead, the project has an article inclusion policy which sets out the reasons under which a page may be deleted or archived on content grounds. These grounds include: significant weaknesses in the material; lack of importance to the project; little chance of the material being improved due to lack of interest.

ARNOVA

Association for Research on Nonprofit Organizations and Voluntary Action

Template:Infobox Organization

The Association for Research on Nonprofit Organizations and Voluntary Action (ARNOVA) was established in 1989 in a re-organization and broadening of the mission of the Association of Voluntary Action Scholars. The association has more than 1,000 members from more than two dozen disciplines and professions and is the sponsor of the peer-reviewed academic journal Nonprofit and Voluntary Sector Quarterly. The association headquarters are in Indianapolis, Indiana on the campus of IUPUI.

Association of Voluntary Action Scholars

The Association of Voluntary Action Scholars was established in 1972 by David Horton Smith and a number of colleagues. The Journal of Voluntary Action Research (1973-1988) was the official journal of the association.


Drive-In Theaters

After the number of drive-in theaters had shrunk from over 4,000 to under 400, attendance at drive-ins rose dramatically during the Covid19 pandemic.

Modern House

"Modern House" refers to a residential dwelling or structure incorporating some or all of a number of "modern" features, including any or all of the following incorporated into the original design and construction:

Electrical wiring and outlets
internet connectivity/local area networks
Small and large appliances
Indoor plumbing, particularly running water and sewage service for the removal of human and household wastes
Piped in 'natural gas' for cooking or heating
Central heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC)
Modern kitchen facilities such as electric or gas stoves for cooking, ovens, refrigeration and freezers for food storage
Garages or carports designed for automobiles
"Open plan" design features, such as:
- Absence of walls between functional areas
- Curtain (non-load bearing) walls
- Archways, pass throughs and counters
- More and larger windows and glass expanses (including window walls)
- "Family rooms", dens or recreation rooms

Modern houses also use new or innovative building materials including:

Concrete
Plywood and various processed (kiln-dried, chemically treated, pre-stressed, et. al.) wood products
Plastics and synthetic materials for pipes, counters, insulation and waterproofing foundations and many other features
Wall board rather than lathe and plaster walls
Latex paints

Modern houses also tend to use innovative construction techniques including:

Flat pitched roofs with wider overhangs
Cantilevered porches
Single-story designs emphasizing horizontal
Eight foot to three meter ceiling heights rather than higher (12 foot to 4 meter) ceilings

To incorporate or retrofit any of these modern features into an older house (e.g., to bring running water, indoor plumbing, or electricity into an older farm house) is frequently referred to as "modernizing" it.

Individual modern houses may also be part of larger multi-house complexes built simultaneously, concurrently or sequentially, known as estates, tracts, developments, suburbs, or subdivisions. Sometimes such developments are derisively called "mass produced" housing.

Modern houses also tend to be characterized by the absence of certain features such as:

Carriage houses or barns for horses
Hitching posts
Porte corcheres
Separate rooms, wings or entire floors for "live in" servants or employees
Parlors and specialized rooms for "receiving" guests

Origins of The Modern House

Architecturally, the international origins of the modern house can be traced to a variety of influences, notably two architects the American Frank Lloyd Wright and the French architect Charles-Édouard Jeanneret-Gris, better known as Le Corbusier and a host of less celebrated architects of the Bauhaus, Prairie School, and International Style
