Category originally listed for deletion on January 24, 2005. Consensus was to delete. RedWolf 06:04, Feb 2, 2005 (UTC)

Too POV to be categorised, especially that there are people placed in that category, which have not been trialed for corruption and as such should be treated as innocent. Also, I don't see a reason to subscribe whole cities to that category - I know what happened in Starachowice, but I bet an average WP user doesn't - and listing the whole city as corrupted just because there were some 4 corrupt politicians does not seem fair to me.

Gamma Phi Beta

Gamma Phi Beta (ΓΦΒ, also known as GPhi, GPhiB, or Gamma Phi) is an international college sorority. It was founded in Syracuse University in 1874 and was the first of the Greek organizations to call itself a sorority. The term "sorority" was coined for Gamma Phi Beta by Dr. Frank Smalley, a professor at Syracuse University.

The sorority's international headquarters are located in Centennial, Colorado. As of 2023, Gamma Phi Beta listed more than 246,000 initiated members, 137 active collegiate chapters, 190 chartered collegiate chapters and more than 155 alumnae groups in the United States and Canada.

Founders
Frances Haven and three friends organized their own society. Gamma Phi Beta Society was founded on November 11, 1874, at Syracuse University in Syracuse, New York, by Helen M. Dodge, Frances E. Haven, E. Adeline Curtis, and Mary A. Bingham. The founders had originally selected light blue as the official color but changed it in 1875 to brown and mode (dark and light brown). The society's first initiate, Clara Worden, joined in March 1875.

Colleges and universities admitted few women students in the 1870s. Against that tendency, Erastus Otis Haven, Syracuse University chancellor and former president of the University of Michigan and Northwestern University, maintained that women should receive the advantages of higher education and he enrolled his daughter, Frances, at Syracuse. For its first several years, Gamma Phi Beta was simply known as a society; it had never used the term fraternity. It was the first of the national women's organizations to adopt the word "sorority", coined in 1882 on behalf of the Syracuse chapter by one of the Latin professors on the faculty, Dr. Frank Smalley. From 1882 on, the organization was known as Gamma Phi Beta Sorority.

Gamma Phi Beta is a member of the Syracuse Triad, the name given to the three women's sororities founded at Syracuse University. Alpha Phi was founded first in 1872 by 10 of the original 20 women admitted to Syracuse University. Gamma Phi Beta came along two years later in 1874 and Alpha Gamma Delta completed the triad in 1904. Syracuse Triad ceremonies or events are held on most campuses with chapters of all three groups.

Later history
The sorority's second chapter, the Beta chapter at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, Michigan, was placed in 1882 and was followed in 1885 by the Gamma chapter at Wisconsin. Over the next ten years, the sorority expanded into the Midwest and into eastern schools. In 1894, Gamma Phi Beta expanded to the West Coast at the University of California and to Washington, Oregon, and Idaho.

Gamma Phi Beta's first convention was held in Syracuse in 1883, followed by annual sessions held until 1907. After that year, conventions became biennial, offset by a Leadership Training School held in the off-convention years. In 1891, Gamma Phi Beta joined the National Panhellenic Conference (NPC) as a founding member.

Frances E. Haven went on to assist in founding the Omicron chapter at the University of Illinois in Champaign, Illinois, in 1913. Omicron is the only other chapter established by one of the original founders. In 1919, the establishment of the Alpha Alpha chapter at the University of Toronto in Toronto, Canada, made the sorority international. The current crest was designed by Gertrude Comfort Morrow at University of California, Berkeley in Berkeley, California, in 1913. The crest was adopted after it won a national crest design competition following the 1915 Convention. In 1965, the use of color was officially included in the crest.

Coat of arms and motto
The Gamma Phi Beta crest, or coat of arms, is in the shape of a shield featuring three pink carnations on a white background, an open book on a light brown background, and a waxing crescent moon on a dark brown background. At the top of the shield is a golden oil lamp and at the bottom of the shield is a banner displaying the Greek letters Γ, Φ, and Β. The crest is only to be worn by initiated members.

 * The Gamma Phi Beta's symbol is the crescent moon.
 * The carnation was named the official flower at Convention 1888, while pink was designated the official color of the carnation in 1950.

"To modernize our meaningful colors, we lightened the pink to blush and combined light brown with warm gray, creating a shade we call A-La-Mode. The updated colors exude femininity and strength; they are timeless and confident like our membership."
 * The official colors of Gamma Phi Beta have long been pink and shades of brown. At first, designated by "Brown and Mode", the brown color was to honor Dr. John J. Brown's role at the sorority's founding, along with 'mode', which was meant to be used as a stylish and complementary color. In 2006, an extensive re-branding effort adopted updates to several of the symbols used along with the society's colors. The "primary palette" of "Blush" (pink) and  "A-la-Mode" (brown/gray) is explained:
 * Secondary colors were chosen and are listed as  Once in A Blue Moon, Pearl,  Brownstone and  Carnation. The branding page explains these colors as "...the perfect accessories to our primary palette."

The open motto of the Gamma Phi Beta is "Founded on a Rock".

Badge symbols
The Gamma Phi Beta badge has not significantly changed since its design in 1874. It was designed by Tiffany & Co. It features a black crescent moon cradling the Greek letters Gamma, Phi, and Beta. Badges are currently produced by jeweler Herff Jones, with customization options such as a gold or silver finish or added jewels.

The badges worn by International Council members are larger and feature white crescent moons instead of black. The international president's badge is set with diamonds on the Greek letters; other international officers' badges are set with pearls. In 1902, a triangular-shaped shield of dark brown on which rests a crescent of gold was approved as the badge for uninitiated new members.

Philanthropy and community service
Gamma Phi Beta provided humanitarian supplies during both World War I and World War II. Chapters placed donation containers throughout the United States; the funds collected were directed to the French orphans at the end of World War I.

In 1929, camping for girls was designated the official philanthropy of Gamma Phi Beta, leading to the support of Camp Fire and Girl Guides of Canada.

During World War II, the sorority raised funds that supported a mobile canteen for Great Britain, and contributions were raised for the American Red Cross, the Queen's Canadian Fund for air raid victims throughout Great Britain, and the Army and Navy Relief Societies. Its War bonds drive campaign resulted in four drives that raised $14 million, earning the sorority two U.S. Treasury citations for service rendered on behalf of the War Finance Program.

At the 2012 Convention, the sorority partnered with Girls on the Run. The current official philanthropy of Gamma Phi Beta is Building Strong Girls.

Membership
Every initiated member has a lifelong membership in Gamma Phi Beta and may participate in alumnae activities on the local, regional, and international levels. Women who have never been initiated into a National Panhellenic Conference sorority may be eligible to join Gamma Phi Beta through the alumnae initiate program. Once a woman is initiated into Gamma Phi Beta, she is no longer allowed to join any other National Panhellenic Conference sorority. One standard of membership is paying dues each semester during a member's college years and, once she graduates, paying yearly dues to International Headquarters.

Chapter houses
Many Gamma Phi Beta chapters have on-campus housing for members. Housing may be run by the Gamma Phi Beta national organization or an alumna-run local Affiliated Housing Corporation. Several Gamma Phi Beta sorority houses are registered as historical homes, including:

 * The Gamma Phi Beta Sorority House at the University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign in Urbana, Illinois
 * The Gamma Phi Beta Sorority House at the University of Oregon in Eugene, Oregon

Talk:Westbury, Houston

Crime rate
During the late 1970s to the early 1990s, Westbury began showing a high crime rate (due to apartments in neighboring Fondren Southwest), which has decreased in recent times with neighborhood patrols.

I am removing this entire sentence. I don't believe that it is necessary to mention the changing crime rate, nor is it entirely accurate that all the crime in Westbury came from Fondren Southwest.rockhopper10r 06:06, 2 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Regarding changes made by "24.173.14.169"
The references to the apartments surrounding Westbury Square was taken from a book of Houston architecture, now referenced. It is significant to the planning of the community.

The growing gay and lesbian population of this area is a very significant by-product of the gentrification of the inner neighborhoods. As for the artistic population, perhaps we travel in different circles, so I have left that out.

I cannot remember the source, but I have read that the Home Depot sits on approximately forty percent of the land originally held by Westbury Square. I cannot pin it down right now, so I will leave the percentage blank.

If you are at all serious about this project, I ask you to please register and become part of the Wikipedia community.

Thank you for your contributions. Rockhopper10r 05:20, 25 August 2005 (UTC)

Talk:John Wesley Powell

Untitled
I have added a sample of the 3D images taken by John Wesley Powell's 1872 Expedition. The image was painstakingly restored. Adverse conditions on the river, or maybe just time alone has shifted the emulsion brightness, causing drastic reduction in the quality of these old 3D images. Many appear on the USGS site, under Grand Canyon. This is the only one that has been restored to some degree of density balance. It looks quite good with the Red-Cyan glasses.3dnatureguy 06:36, 13 February 2006 (UTC)

I expanded the caption for the image of Powell to include the name of Tau-gu a Paiute who is the second person with Powell in the image. I added a reference for this edit.-- Dakota ~  °  02:58, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

A question & a possible entry ...
In the first paragraph, "Morgan served as second director ...". Shouldn't that be "Powell" instead?

The film "Ten Who Dared", released 1 November 1960, by Walt Disney Productions is based on the journal of Major Powell.

Left or right
(Copied from WP:EAR)

Hello, The article on John Westly Powell says he lost part of an arm in the Battle of Shiloh (1862). The photo of Mr. Powell taken in 1871-1872 shows him using his left arm. However, the photo dated 1897 shows him without the left arm. Is this just the way one of the photos was reversed when reprinted? Thank you —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.181.136.205 (talk) 03:30, 23 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Well spotted - yes, it looks as if one of those photos has been reversed. The one online source doesn't say which arm was injured, but perhaps one of the book sources might clear it up. I am copying this thread to the article talk page. -- John of Reading (talk) 06:54, 23 April 2011 (UTC)
 * I found a reference in the dedication of a book that specified it was his right hand that he lost. I noted it in the article.  --Wazeez (talk) 18:23, 11 March 2012 (UTC)

When did the 1st journey ended?
Was it on August 13, 1869 or was it on August 30, 1869, as we are told after just five lines? אביהו (talk) 18:40, 16 June 2013 (UTC)

On August 13, the Powell party left the Little Colorado River confluence with the Colorado at the head of the Grand Canyon. On the 30th they were at the mouth of the Virgin River. The Major left the boats here on Sept 1 but some of the party continued down the Colorado. I changed it to the 30th. RRFWTommartin (talk) 21:03, 24 January 2015 (UTC)

Lake Powell, a reservoir on the Colorado River, was named in his honor.
The quote Lake Powell, a reservoir on the Colorado River, was named in his honor may not be entirely accurate. Powell would certainly not be honored to have that lake named after him, he would have fought against the creation of Glenn Canyon Dam and the destruction of the township of Hite and the flooding of literally thousands of Indian sites which had not yet been cataloged by anthropologists. I'm not sure whether it was an honor or not, certainly the naming of the resulting lake was something of an insult. I suppose it's pointless to suggest changing that text. :) Probably. Damotclese (talk) 03:44, 31 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Seems it was named after or for him, however the "honor" bit was overdone and as you say a bit dubious - so reworded and chopped some unneeded detail. Vsmith (talk) 13:31, 31 August 2013 (UTC)

The second Grand Canyon trip, maps, murder and the Report
Have added that the second Colorado River cruise of 1871-1872 ended at Kanab Creek, with 60 river miles of Grand Canyon yet remaining to be run. Those missing river miles include Separation Rapid, where the 1869 trip split up. I also added note that at least one historian noted the resulting maps were "impressionistic rather than precise." Also added writings exaggerations, recounting the 1869 events included that were 1870-1871 events, and lifejacket info. Also added additional murder info with ref's. RRFWTommartin (talk) 19:30, 24 January 2015 (UTC)

 * How does the life jacket info carry any substantial importance? It seems quite rational. Is this implying some kind of moral that he wore it while others did not? I suggest to either clarify the implied meaning of it, or just remove this detail, as insignificant. Otherwise why stop at the life jacket as one particular piece of clothing equipment, go ahead and elaborate on the rest like who wore socks, or underwear and who didn't.
 * Just my two cents.
 * 176.63.176.112 (talk) 00:17, 5 January 2017 (UTC).

Hi Two Cents, Thanks for your question. The life jacket info is important in that Powell does not mention he was wearing one. The next trip after his, the ill fated 1889 Stanton-Brown expedition, assumed that life jackets were not needed. Three men lost their lives on that trip, including Brown. Stanton came back in 1890 and everyone had life jackets. I see the mention to the possibility of the Mormon settlements killing the Howlands and Dunn has been removed too. Hmmm... Yours, tom RRFWTommartin (talk) 05:06, 5 January 2017 (UTC)

 This page is an archive of the discussion about the proposed deletion of the article below. This page is no longer live. Further comments should be made on the article's talk page rather than here so that this page is preserved as an historic record. The result of the debate was KEEP.

One vote to "merge" was ignored, as you can't merge to a red link. Of course, anyone who wants to move or merge this article is free to. dbenbenn | talk 22:57, 8 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Kryon
Sure, it might look clean, but wait till you actually start reading it. It becomes nonsense really fast. humblefool® 06:08, 2 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment (I try not to vote on non-clear-cut cases at 1:12 AM). Google returns 67,000 hits for "Kryon".  Sure it looks like nonsense, but could it be nonsense that people believe in? --Goobergunch|? 06:12, 2 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Then it needs cleanup. Agreed, 11PM might be a bad time to look at articles. Blegh, I'll thinks about it. humblefool® 06:44, 2 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Someone should tell "Lee Caroll and the Kryon Group" that they are the victims of a cruel hoax. They aren't channelling "a disembodied entity of a different order than human".  They are channelling Erich von Däniken.  The Google Groups test is unclear.  Many of the mentions of "Kyron" are "What is this Kyron stuff, then? I've not heard of it.", "I have Kyron books for sale.", or spoof Star Trek episodes.  The future is cloudy.  Come back later, when the spirits will be more willing to vote. Uncle G 13:43, 2005 Feb 2 (UTC)
 * Keep. At a first read this article looks like a possible hoax or nonsense, however it is generating a number of hits on Google (10,000+), so it does pass the Google test. Since we have a number of fictious characters, games and worlds on Wikipedia already - with lesser Google hits, I am inclined to vote keep on this article, for now. Megan1967 00:23, 3 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep but send to cleanup. Much as I hate to encourage crackpots, a book search on Amazon.com returns 27 hits for Lee Caroll and kryon. Katefan0 19:52, Feb 3, 2005 (UTC)
 * Sigh.  Lee Carroll has written a bunch of books which are available on Amazon and he and Kryon seem to pass the Google test.   By Wikipedia standards, we have to keep this -- meaning that we will now have another embarrassment on the Wikipedia. There will be two groups of editors hurling "POV warrior" insults at each other.  The first group will be trying to have the article say, effectively, "Lee Carroll is either a New Age kook or a con-man trying to bilk you out of your money".  This will be the truth.  The other group will be fighting to have the article say "Kryon is an disembodied entity whose pearls of wisdom for humanity are channelled by Lee Carroll who has kindly published 26 books about Kryon."  There will be RfC's, mediations, arbitrations, cooling off periods with the article blocked, and lots of pastel-colored template boxes permanently on the article. It will end up saying "Lee Carroll is either a kook, or he is a con-man, or he is channelling a disembodied entity of a higher order, named Kryon".   --BM 21:26, 3 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure that that will be the case. Gene Ray's edits to his own article become neutralised pretty rapidly, for example.  And fraudsters can be dealt with, too.  Both without coloured boxes.  (The boxes here are warranted in part because this article is nowhere near the quality of the others.) It's only the religions where there is a significantly large number of militant adherents where there are real problems.  And in that, Wikipedia is reflecting the real world. Uncle G 13:59, 2005 Feb 4 (UTC)
 * Keep --Tony Sidaway|Talk 01:27, 5 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Move to Lee Carrll, remove extraneous list at the bottom, rewrite to make it a bio-stub that says "Lee Carroll is either a kook, or he is a con-man, or he is channelling a disembodied entity of a higher order, named Kryon". - UtherSRG 01:45, Feb 5, 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep Yes, it's a load of nonsense that any adult with an IQ higher than doormat should be able to see through, but then that's the same for any religion. In this case (and in its current state) at least it adopts a neutral tone towards the nonsense. Mel Etitis ( Μελ Ετητης ) 14:07, 5 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Skyliner

The Skyliner (スカイライナー) is an airport limited express train service between Tokyo and Narita Airport in Japan. It is operated by Keisei Electric Railway and runs on the Narita Sky Access route. This article also covers the Morningliner (モーニングライナー) and Eveningliner (イブニングライナー) services.

Service
The Skyliner limited express service operates between Keisei Ueno Station and Narita Airport Terminal 1 Station, with stops at Nippori Station and Narita Airport Terminal 2·3 Station. Certain trains also stop at Aoto and Shin-Kamagaya stations.

The one-way ride between Nippori and Narita Airport Terminal 2·3 takes about 36 minutes and costs ¥2,520 in 2019, making it the fastest and cheapest limited express train option between the airport and downtown Tokyo.

The main competitor for the Skyliner is JR East's Narita Express.

Station stops

 * Legend
 * ● : All trains stop
 * △ : Some trains stop

1972-2010
The Skyliner's predecessor was the Kaiungō express service, which began operation non-stop from Keisei Ueno to Keisei Narita on May 1, 1952, 26 years before the opening of Narita Airport. Seat reservations were mandatory.

The Kaiungō Express service was operated by 1600 series trains from 1953 to 1967. Although the first trains were small, with only two cars, they had reclining seats and televisions, making them luxurious trains for their time. The trains were lengthened to three cars in 1957 (although only one of those cars was an actual Type 1600 car). In 1967, the 1600 series trains were replaced by 3150 and 3200 series trains, fitted with semi-transverse seating in order to comply with subway specifications.

In 1972, new AE series trains began operation as the Skyliner, while the Kaiungō became the main train running during afternoons and holidays. The Kaiungō service was taken over by AE series trains on December 30, 1973, and the Skyliner became a nonstop Ueno-Narita service. Although the Skyliner's name was chosen, it wasn't announced soon enough and thus the first trains were shipped with the inscription "Express".

In the final months preceding Narita Airport's opening, there were a number of violent protests at the airport. One arson attack caused an AE series train in a yard to be put out of service on May 5, 1978.

Finally, on May 21, 1978, upon the opening of New Tokyo International Airport, the Skyliner began nonstop runs from Keisei Ueno to Narita Airport Station. At the time, Narita Airport Station was located far from the passenger terminal (at the present-day location of Higashi-Narita Station), and passengers on the Skyliner had to get off and take a bus from the station to the airport. This inconvenience caused many passengers to use direct city-to-terminal limousine buses rather than the Skyliner.

Starting on September 1, 1979, the Skyliner began stopping at Keisei Narita Station once a day during the afternoon. This commuter-oriented service was expanded to become the Evening Liner service on December 1, 1984, and the Morning Liner was added on October 19, 1985. Nippori was added as a stop on the new commuter services, and in 1988, all Skyliner services began making stops at Nippori Station.

Growing criticism of Narita ground transportation in the late 1980s led the Ministry of Transport to open up underground platforms and track initially intended for the Narita Shinkansen (a high-speed rail link between the city and the airport that was never built) for service by regular local and express trains. On March 19, 1991, the new Narita Airport Station opened directly underneath Terminal 1. Both the Skyliner and its new competitor, JR East's Narita Express, began service to the new station. On December 3, 1992, services began to Airport Terminal 2.

Eight-car AE100 series trains were introduced in 1990. These trains were designed with emergency exits at each end, under the assumption that the trains would eventually be used for limited express service between Narita Airport and Haneda Airport: the Toei Asakusa Line has no emergency walkways along its sides, so it was necessary to allow evacuation from the ends of the train. Following the introduction of the AE100s, the seven six-car AE series trains were rearranged to form five eight-car trains. In June 1993, the older AE series trains were withdrawn from service.

From December 10, 2006, most Skyliner services began stopping at Keisei Funabashi Station.

2010: Narita Sky Access opening
From July 17, 2010, the Skyliner services were transferred from the Keisei Main Line to the Narita Sky Access route, with the introduction of new AE series EMUs. New Cityliner services using the older AE100 series trains replaced the former Skyliner on the Keisei Main Line.

The new Skyliner service allows a transfer from Central Tokyo to Narita Airport in 36 minutes, 15 minutes faster than the old route via the Keisei Main Line, making it the fastest and cheapest limited express train option connecting Narita Airport with Central Tokyo.

March 2011 Great East Japan earthquake and tsunami
Some Sky Liner services were suspended following the Great East Japan earthquake and tsunami of 11 March 2011 and subsequent energy restrictions implemented in the Tokyo area. Full service was however restored from 10 September 2011, following the lifting of energy restrictions.

2020: Aoto stop added
On 6 April 2020, Keisei announced that certain Skyliner trains would begin serving Aoto Station in order to facilitate easier connections to and from trains serving the Keisei Oshiage Line, Toei Asakusa Line and Keikyu Main Line. The new service began on 11 April 2020. As of September 2022, Narita-bound Skyliner services stop at Aoto once per hour between 7:35 and 16:33. Ueno-bound trains stop at Aoto once per hour between 10:50 and 18:50, followed by all trains after 21:00.

2022: Shin-Kamagaya stop added
In October 2022, Keisei announced that certain Skyliner trains would begin serving Shin-Kamagaya Station with the intent of improving access to Kashiwa and Matsudo in Chiba Prefecture. The planned implementation date is scheduled for 26 November 2022. All trains that stop at Aoto also stop at Shin-Kamagaya.

Morningliner/Eveningliner
The Morningliner (モーニングライナー) and Eveningliner (イブニングライナー) are limited-express train services for commuters on the Keisei Main Line operated by Keisei Electric Railway. Morningliner operates toward Tokyo in the morning, and Eveningliner operates away from Tokyo in the evening. All seats are reserved with a supplement of 420 yen. A single trip from Narita Airport to Nippori Station costs ¥1,462. The Morning Pass is a monthly reserved pass priced at ¥8,150 a month.

Anakie Siding, Queensland

Anakie Siding is a rural locality in the Central Highlands Region, Queensland, Australia. It contains the town of Anakie. It is a sapphire mining area. In, the locality of Anakie Siding had a population of 155 people.

Geography
The town is located just to the south of the Capricorn Highway, 44 km west of Emerald.

The town of Anakie is on the Central Western railway line running from Rockhampton west to Longreach. The town is served by the Anakie railway station (-23.5528°N, 147.7453°W).

There is a billabong to the south-east of the town (-23.5531°N, 147.7485°W).

In the north-west of the locality is The Three Sisters Range which extends north into Sapphire Central (midpoint -23.5124°N, 147.6542°W). It contains a number of unnamed peaks rising to 370 m above sea level.

History
The pastoral runs in the Leichhardt District were surveyed by August 1866, including Anakie Downs, Saint Helens, Emerald Downs, and Glendarriwill. At this time, the estimated 85 sqmi Anakie Downs property was owned by R. Treffitt (also given as Triffit), who also owned the nearby Retreat run. On 17 January 1870 the 'superb station property known as the St. Helens, Anaki [sic], and Retreat runs situate on the Nogoa River, Leichhardt District, in the midst of the choicest and most remunerative stations in North Queensland', together with 10000 sheep, was sold by public auction to R. F. Greene for £2750. The property was sold again by February 1880.

A railway line west from Emerald Downs was considered for the area by the chief engineer for the Railway Department in 1878, but difficulties encountered with mountain ranges further to the west. This line 'beyond Emerald Downs first passes through the good country known as Anaki [sic] Downs' was still unresolved by March 1878. A 0.25 mi rail siding had been added to the new line by November 1884.

Anakie Provisional School was opened 27 July 1885. On 1 January 1909, it became Anakie State School. It had occasional closures due to low student numbers.

Anakie Post Office opened on 12 March 1894 (a receiving office had been open since 1885).

By September 1902, the area was becoming known for sapphire mines, the nearest on Retreat Creek, 8 mi from the Anakie railway station. With granitic rock masses and adjoining metamorphic rocks including gneiss, with hornblende, some epidote, some ruby, and garnet, zircons were also found. The quality of the blue, red, and yellow sapphires was noted.

Anakie was one of three towns within the locality of The Gemfields (the others being Sapphire and Rubyvale) until 17 April 2020, when the Queensland Government decided to replace The Gemfields with three new localities (Anakie Siding, Sapphire Central and Rubyvale) based around each of the three towns respectively. The boundaries of the localities of Emerald and Gindie were also modified to accommodate the introduction of the locality of Anakie Siding with an area of 574.4 km2.

Demographics
In, the locality of Anakie Siding had a population of 155 people.

Transport
Greyhound buses run west (and return) from Rockhampton along the Capricorn Highway.

Emerald (about 44 km east) has an airport with regular services to Brisbane and other points.

Queensland Rail's Spirit of the Outback train service that runs twice weekly will stop at Anakie on request.

Education
Anakie State School is a government primary (Prep-6) school for boys and girls at 1 School Lane (-23.554°N, 147.7458°W). In 2017, the school had an enrolment of 83 students with 7 teachers (6 full-time equivalent) and 7 non-teaching staff (4 full-time equivalent). It has a cattle club which attends local agricultural shows to enter the junior cattle judging competitions.

There are no secondary schools in Anakie. The nearest secondary school is Emerald State High School in Emerald to the east.

Taurobolium

In the Roman Empire of the second to fourth centuries, taurobolium referred to practices involving the sacrifice of a bull, which after mid-second century became connected with the worship of the Great Mother of the Gods; though not previously limited to her cult, after AD 159 all private taurobolia inscriptions mention the Magna Mater.

History
Originating in Asia Minor, its earliest attested performance in Italy occurred in AD 134, at Puteoli, in honor of Venus Caelestis, as documented by an inscription.

The earliest inscriptions, of the second century in Asia Minor, point to a bull chase in which the animal was overcome, linked with a panegyris in honour of a deity or deities, but not an essentially religious ceremony, though a bull was sacrificed and its flesh distributed. The addition of the taurobolium and the institution of an archigallus were innovations in the cult of the Magna Mater made by Antoninus Pius on the occasion of his vicennalia, the twentieth year of his reign, in 158 and 159. The first dated reference to Magna Mater in a taurobolium inscription dates from 160. The vires, or testicles of the bull, were removed from Rome and dedicated at a taurobolium altar at Lugdunum, 27 November 160. Jeremy Rutter makes the suggestion that the bull's testicles substituted for the self-castration of devotees of Cybele, abhorrent to the Roman ethos.

Public taurobolia, enlisting the benevolence of the Magna Mater on behalf of the emperor, became common in Italy, as well as in Gaul, Hispania and Africa. The last public taurobolium for which there is an inscription was carried out for Diocletian and Maximian at Mactar in Numidia at the close of the third century.

Description
The best-known and most vivid description, though of the quite different taurobolium as it was revived in aristocratic pagan circles, is the notorious one that has coloured early scholarship, which was provided in an anti-pagan poem by the late 4th-century Christian Prudentius in Peristephanon: the priest of the Great Mother, clad in a silk toga worn in the Gabinian cincture, with golden crown and fillets on his head, takes his place in a trench covered by a platform of planks pierced with fine holes, on which a bull, magnificent with flowers and gold, is slain. The blood rains through the platform onto the priest below, who receives it on his face, and even on his tongue and palate, and after the baptism presents himself before his fellow-worshippers purified and regenerated, and receives their salutations and reverence. Prudentius does not explicitly mention the taurobolium, but the ceremony, in its new form, is unmistakable from other contemporaneous sources: "At Novaesium on the Rhine in Germania Inferior, a blood pit was found in what was probably a Metroon", Jeremy Rutter observes.

Recent scholarship has called into question the reliability of Prudentius' description. It is a late account by a Christian who was hostile to paganism, and may have distorted the rite for effect. Earlier inscriptions that mention the rite suggest a less gory and elaborate sacrificial rite. Therefore, Prudentius' description may be based on a late evolution of the taurobolium.

Purpose

The taurobolium in the second and third centuries was usually performed as a measure for the welfare (salus) of the emperor, Empire, or community; H. Oppermann denies early reports that its date was frequently 24 March, the Dies Sanguinis ("Day of Blood") of the annual festival of the Great Mother Cybele and Attis; Oppermann reports that there were no taurobolia in late March. In the late third and the fourth centuries its usual motive was the purification or regeneration of an individual, who was spoken of as renatus in aeternum, "reborn for eternity", in consequence of the ceremony. While its efficacy was not eternal, its effect was considered to endure for twenty years, as if the magic coating of the blood wore off after that time, the initiate having taken his vows for "the circle of twenty years" (bis deni orbis). It was also performed as the fulfilment of a vow (votum), or by command of the goddess herself, and the privilege was not limited by sex or class. In its fourth-century revival in high pagan circles, Rutter has observed, "We might even justifiably say that the taurobolium, rather than a rite effectual in itself was a symbol of paganism. It was a rite apparently forbidden by the Christian emperors and thus became a hallmark of the pagan nobility in their final struggle against Christianity and the Christian emperors." The place of its performance at Rome was near the site of St Peter's, in the excavations of which several altars and inscriptions commemorative of taurobolia were discovered.

A criobolium, substituting a ram for the bull, was also practiced, sometimes together with the taurobolium;.

Modern interpretation
The classicist Grant Showerman, writing in the Encyclopædia Britannica Eleventh Edition suggested: "The taurobolium was probably a sacred drama symbolizing the relations of the Mother and Attis (q.v.). The descent of the priest into the sacrificial foss (pit) symbolized the death of Attis, the withering of the vegetation of Mother Earth; his bath of blood and emergence the restoration of Attis, the rebirth of vegetation. The ceremony may be the spiritualized descent of the primitive oriental practice of drinking or being baptized in the blood of an animal, based upon a belief that the strength of brute creation could be acquired by consumption of its substance or contact with its blood. In spite of the phrase renatus in aeternum, there is no reason to suppose that the ceremony was in any way borrowed from Christianity."

Henry Cowell Redwoods State Park

Henry Cowell Redwoods State Park is a state park of California, United States, preserving mainly forest and riparian areas in the watershed of the San Lorenzo River, including a grove of old-growth coast redwood. It is located in Santa Cruz County, primarily in the area between the cities of Santa Cruz and Scotts Valley, near the community of Felton and the University of California at Santa Cruz. The park includes a non-contiguous extension in the Fall Creek area north of Felton. The 4623 acre park was established in 1953.

Geography
The main park covers approximately 1750 acre, and the separate Fall Creek (not to be confused with the Fall Creek farther north in San Mateo County) unit contains an additional 2390 acre. The park lies within the southern end of the Northern California coastal forests ecoregion. In the numerous stream canyons live large populations of coast redwood, coast Douglas fir, California bay laurel, tanbark oak, California hazelnut, bigleaf maple and many other native species.

Up-slope from the redwood forest are found transitional tree species such as Pacific madrone, along with a stand of Ponderosa pine, rare at such a low elevation. Some of the highest and driest ridge slopes in the park support fairly unusual chaparral communities known as "elfin forests" in addition to the rare and unique Santa Cruz Sandhills community. The old-growth grove of coast redwood, approximately 40 acre in size, is located entirely in the original section of the park, surrounded by many species of fern and plentiful redwood sorrel. Surrounding areas, including the non-contiguous Fall Creek unit, were logged extensively in the mid-to-late 1800s for lumber and as fuel for the many lime kilns that used to operate in the area, such as the ones preserved at nearby Cowell Lime Works. Logging activities mostly ceased by the 1920s, and the second growth redwoods are now up to several feet in diameter.

Features
Both portions of the park have much to offer vacationing families or nature enthusiasts. Hiking, fishing (depending on season), seasonal camping (including RV), birdwatching, and a few horse dog-friendly and mountain biking trails, and shopping at the Mountain Parks Nature Store await visitors to this park. Next door to the main parking lot is the Roaring Camp and Big Trees Narrow Gauge Railroad.

Main park
There are over 15 mi of hiking trails, some of which lead to small, isolated sandy beaches on the San Lorenzo River, and others with overlook views of the Santa Cruz Mountains, with peeks at Monterey Bay.

The park has a more modern visitor center, which is open year-round to the public, and is staffed by California Parks employees and volunteer docents. Additionally, the Mountain Parks Nature Store is open during most park hours, and there is a direct entrance from the park's main parking lot to the grounds of Roaring Camp and Big Trees Railroad.

The Redwood Grove comprises old-growth "virgin" redwoods, the oldest trees of which are approximately 1,400–1,800 years old and grow to approximately 300 ft tall and over 16 ft in diameter. Referred to by locals as "the loop," the grove is primarily a self-guided walk—but on most summer weekends, and many other times year-round, free guided walks led by docents or park employees are available. Featured on the loop are unique old-growth redwoods, including one with albino growth lignotubers and the John C. Fremont tree (a tree hollowed out by fire that was once used as a resort honeymoon room). Next to the park's entrance kiosk, all three known types of redwood trees, the Coast Redwood, the Giant Sequoia, and the Dawn Redwood (the latter two not native to the area) are planted together, providing a unique place to instantly compare and contrast the members of this family of trees.

This park provides a good environment for the study of different habitats. Habitats in this park, often changing back and forth within a few hundred feet of one another, include riparian, sandhill community, mixed evergreen, and redwood forests. Anglers fish for Steelhead and salmon during the winter. There is a picnic area overlooking the San Lorenzo River.

Besides roads, the park may also be reached by the Santa Cruz, Big Trees and Pacific Railway. Tent and RV camping with no hook ups are available several miles from the main entrance to the park.

Garden of Eden
The Garden of Eden is a popular swimming hole in the San Lorenzo River within Henry Cowell Redwoods State Park.

It is accessible via Ox Fire Road off Highway 9 and has a parking area located 0.75 miles south of the park's main entrance. This route requires approximately 1.5 miles of hiking, roundtrip, with an elevation change of 200 feet.

The water depth at the Garden of Eden is insufficient to cushion the many large, sharp rocks on the pool's bottom and, as such, diving is not permitted. Likewise, alcohol, dogs, fires, and glass containers are also prohibited in the area.

Fall Creek Unit extension
The northern extension of Henry Cowell State Park, called Fall Creek Unit, contains over 20 miles (30 km) of hiking trails, mostly along the creeks that flow year-round and make beautiful mini waterfalls during the rainy season (November–March). There is also an 18-hole Disc Golf course, Black Mouse, run by a local school (Nature Academy). Along Fall Creek are the ruins of a 19th-century lime manufacturing operation, including a quarry and lime kilns built by I.X.L. Lime Company (established in 1874). The lime works were later acquired by industrialist Henry Cowell.

The Fall Creek in Santa Cruz County originates near Empire Grade Road, and flows 4–5 miles South and South-East before it meets San Lorenzo River, east of Highway 9.

Dogs and bicycles are not allowed in the Fall Creek Unit.

History
During the 1830s and 40s, when California was still part of Mexico, large land grants were created, called "ranchos". The lands now included in the State Park were once parts of three different ranchos. Rancho Cañada del Rincon en el Rio San Lorenzo, Rancho Zayante and Rancho Carbonera. By 1865, most of the former rancho lands had been subdivided. Industrialist Henry Cowell purchased 6500 acre of the former Rancho Cañada del Rincon en el Rio San Lorenzo, including 1600 acre of forest, in 1865, adding to his quarrying and lime operations in the vicinity. A significant number of buildings in San Francisco were built using the redwood and limestone products from this area. In the 1920s the owners of a large resort adjacent to Henry Cowell's holdings raised support for the County of Santa Cruz to buy and preserve their pristine redwood lands, an action finally approved of, in large part thanks to the work of California Lieutenant Governor, the Hon. William Jeter, in 1930. Eventually philanthropist Samuel Cowell, aged 90, last of the Cowell line, (and endower for Cowell Hall at the University of San Francisco), donated the rest of what became the Park to the State, but only under the condition that Santa Cruz County also give up its nearby portion of the land (Big Trees Park) to the State so that it could all be managed together. Thus, the Henry Cowell Redwoods State Park was officially created on August 15, 1954. The separate Fall Creek unit was added later. In February 1973, serial killer Herbert Mullin killed 4 teens who were camping at the state park. In 1981 it became a crime scene again when serial killer David Carpenter shot a hiking couple, killing the female hiker.

Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Confederate Order of Battle- Siege of Charleston
Hey. I am looking into the above topic. It seems rather incomplete, so may I ask your sources? The units at Grimball's Landing for instance, are not there. Colquitts's Georgia regiments for instance. I have the Official Records, Sifakis compendium, among many others, so I will do some research and try complete the OOB. I postet on the Talk page too. I also have to add that the Military districts of South Carolina around Charleston is a nightmare to research. (TomV71 (talk) 10:59, 20 April 2017 (UTC)).

Open wikis as sources
I saw that, some years back, you used an article from an open wiki as a source for an article. Without reviewing your editing history I don't know if this was a exception. But in any case, pleasre review WP:SELFPUBLISH, which makes it clear that wikis like that are not acceptable sources. If you used it repeatedly, please be kind enough to go back and replace the citations with better sources. Mobi Ditch (talk) 01:06, 25 January 2019 (UTC)

 This page is an archive of the discussion about the proposed deletion of the article below. This page is no longer live.

Speculations

Doesn't seem very notable, probably vanity. BLANKFAZE | (что??) 06:12, 2 Feb 2005 (UTC)

 * Week Delete. While the author seems to be notable, search for 'Speculations "Kent Brewster"' finds very few results. Speculations.com is the first Google hit out of one million for "Speculations", but that is probably because of the title match. Alexa doesn't seem to be working, but Google's What Links Here finds about 350 pages. — Asbestos | Talk 14:54, 2 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep If the part about being up for Hugos seven times is correct, then it's notable. Andrew Lenahan - St ar bli nd 16:28, Feb 2, 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, just passes notability test for me. Article needs expansion. Megan1967 00:29, 3 Feb 2005 (UTC)

 * Keep and Expand. The info about the Hugos is correct. Capitalistroadster 04:02, 5 Feb 2005 (UTC)

 * Comment, Google Yields some 4k hits on this name, with at least the first page being pages about this person. Inter 11:51, 2 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep and expand. I get 400k hits, of which the first two pages are all on this author. The current article looks like vanity, though, so it should be cleaned up. — Asbestos | Talk 14:45, 2 Feb 2005 (UTC)
