Leukocytes
Hello, I just noticed that you moved White blood cell to Leukocyte. Personally, I don't have any strong opinion about the title of the article, and I could live with either. But there are two problems with the way you moved the article: You may want to check out Help:Moving a page. For now, I have undone your move; maybe we should first discuss the proper article title in Talk:White blood cell. Cheers, AxelBoldt 18:56, 25 January 2006 (UTC)
 * you used the cut-and-paste method, which means that the history of the article has not been moved over to Leukocyte and is still at White blood cell. We have a move feature which moves the complete history over; this only works if no destination article exists, so the destination has to be deleted first. It's a bit more work, but the results are a lot nicer since the article's history is all kept in one place. The GFDL license we use requires us to honor all contributors, so this is kind of important.
 * There are now lots of double redirects, e.g. the article "leucocyte" redirecting to "white blood cell" which redirects to "leukocyte". The software cannot deal with these, so all of them have to fixed manually.

Snakebite morbidity map
Hi! I came across your map today. It looks very nice, but there are a few significant mistakes that I'd like to point out. First of all, you (or the WHO) forgot Sri Lanka, where a number of notorious species are responsible for many fatalities every year. The same goes for the Taiwan, the Philippines and Hainan island (off the coast of southern China), which all have many deadly species. There's the UK, which has 1 venomous species, Vipera berus, which is also the only venomous snake in Scandinavia (an area colored brown). Japan even has a number of venomous species (6-7?), one of which is a deadly colubrid. In the South Pacific, most of the shores around the islands there are inhabited by sea snakes, most of which are potentially deadly. Finally, Chili and the larger Caribbean islands do have terrestrial snakes, but I don't think any of them are venomous. --Jwinius 14:51, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

 * Hello. I just stopped by to say thank you for pointing out the mistakes in my map. I'll fix those ASAP. The WHO map I used as reference may be found here (PDF file). As you can see, it isn't very accurate (Sri Lanka, etc. have been left out). I don't know much about snakes, so when WHO says there's no land snakes in Chile I tend to believe them. Anyway, the WHO document, released in 1998 (should be accurate enough), has individual statistics which I can use to create a more accurate map.

 * I'm still not sure what to do with Chile; should I color it in? Also, I was aware of sea snakes, but the WHO map had no information on this I just left it out. What do you suggest I do? I can put it in the map but I'll need statistics on this and I'm not sure where I can find this sort of info. --Every1blowz 19:17, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

Why am I not surprised what the WHO is providing faulty, or at least incomplete data? It's not your fault. On the the contrary: I want to thank you for providing the nice map! I'll try to give you a little advice. Finally, if you want to be really precise, perhaps it would be better to state that this map concerns the "Global distribution of terrestrial snakebite morbidity", so as not to include morbidity related to sea snakes. That should do it. If you have any more questions, you know where to find me! --Jwinius 21:16, 14 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Leave out the "No terrestrial snakes" zone and lables. The map is about snakebit morbidity, so we don't want to claim a complete absence of snakes, when we're only concerned with the venomous species. This fixes the problem with Chili right away, as there are no venomous species there.
 * Sri Lanka, Taiwan, the Philippines and Hainan island: color those black like the nearby mainland.
 * Japan: color that the same shade of brown as the Korean Peninsula.
 * UK: color that the same shade of brown as the Netherlands and Gemany, since they have the same snakes (note: Ireland remains green, since there are no snakes there at all).
 * Sicily: brown like the rest of Italy.
 * Cyprus: brown like Turkey and Syria.
 * That little island off the north coast of Brazil? I don't know if that's really an island, but if it is I can't imagine it being anything else except black.

 * Hello again. I updated the map with your suggestions and uploaded it. You can find it in the current snakebite article (might have to clear your cookies). Please tell me if I missed anything. --Every1blowz 23:43, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

There's two more things I can think of. One is that Denmark should be the same color as Germany below it. The reason is the same as for the UK: Vipera berus occurs there.

The second concerns the accuracy of the data. The truth is that there have been very few if any recorded deaths due to snake bite in Denmark or the UK during the past 100 years. However, the same can be said for a number of other regions in north-western Europe, such as the Benelux, (northern) Germany, Poland, and Scandinavia, where V. berus is also the only venomous species. Yet, those countries are all colored brown. I suspect that this is because the WHO data is first based on the regions where venomous species occur, and thereafter with the total number of snakebite related deaths per 100,000 people within those regions. That's fine with me, but then they (we) should be more consistent: either color all the areas brown where venomous species occur, or color green all the individual countries (or regions within them for big countries) for which it is known there there is less than 1 death per (something like) 10 million people per year. I figure that, for us, the former method is the easier way out (for now), but it would be more accurate if we could color in the map according to the latter method (way, way more work, so forget it). --Jwinius 17:18, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

Harbin Hot Springs

Harbin Hot Springs is a hot spring retreat and workshop center situated at Harbin Springs in Lake County, Northern California. Operated by Heart Consciousness Church, a non-profit, it is named after Matthew Harbin, a pioneer who settled in the Lake County area. Located approximately two hours north of the San Francisco Bay Area, in the United States, the facility suffered partial destruction in the Valley Fire in September 2015, resulting in its temporary closure. It partially reopened in January 2019, including the main pools and sauna, along with a limited cafeteria service.

Location
The springs are 20 mi north of Calistoga, 3.5 mi northwest of Middletown, and ten miles south of Clear Lake. They are at an elevation of about 1568 ft. Three springs, known as the Arsenic, Iron and Sulphur springs, rise close together in a ravine on the west of a branch of Putah Creek. The hills near Harbin Springs have steep slopes of exposed shale, but there is a belt of amphibolite schist starting about 25 yd above the springs.

Springs
A 1909 report said the Arsenic, Iron and Sulphur springs yielded water at temperaturesof 90 F, 116 F and 120 F at rates of 1 gal/min, 1/2 gal/min and 8.5 gal/min respectively. A 1914 report listed the springs and their temperatures as: Hot Sulphur, 120.5 F; Iron, 118 F; Magnesia, 66 F; Cold White Sulphur, 76 F; Mud Foot Bath, 101 F in the water on top and 121 F in the mud and fine rocks below. The flow from Hot Sulphur was said to be 1500 gal/h. A fresh water spring filled a 30000 gal tank in two days, which was used for fire purposes.

History
The springs had been utilized by the local indigenous people before European settlers arrived. Around 1856, a settler named James M. Harbin assumed control of the land where Harbin Hot Springs is located, and bestowed his name upon both the springs and the adjacent Harbin Mountain. By 1870, a new owner named Richard Williams had established the Harbin Springs Health and Pleasure Resort, featuring a large hotel built on the slope below the springs. Due to the region's susceptibility to wildfires, successive lodges have been rebuilt over the years following their destruction by fire.

By 1909 there were accommodations for around 200 people in a hotel, a three-story rooming house, eight or ten cottages and a dozen tent houses. A large building held a gymnasium and dancing floor. In 1913 they were owned by Mrs. Margaret Matthews of Vallejo, who was leasing them to Booth, Carr and Booth. The resort could accommodate 300 people. There were two steam baths and two swimming pools, of which the larger was outdoors. One of the steam baths was a covered pool from the Hot Sulphur spring. Harbin Hot Springs issued several postcards advertising the resort in the 1920s and 1930s.

By 1969 the property was owned by Sandia Corporation, which was interested in the potential for geothermal energy. In the late 1960s and early 1970s, the property was run as a commune with the name Harbinger commune, "centered around a man named Don Hamrick, a charismatic fellow who wore business suits and combined science with spiritualism in his lectures/sermons". In 1969, Harbinger had about 120 people, but ultimately, the community did not thrive. In 1972 Robert Hartley bought the property and renovated the run-down facilities.

He sold it to Heart Consciousness Church in 1992. As of 2012, the clothing-optional retreat center was known as an outdoor spa with a New Age ambiance, where Watsu was developed.

The resort was evacuated because of the Valley Fire on September 12, 2015. By September 14, Harbin was almost completely destroyed by the fire with only the pool complex largely intact. SunRay Kelly had designed and built the Harbin Hot Springs Temple, a yoga and meditation space, which burned down in 2015. In January 2019 it partially reopened, including the main pools and sauna, and a limited cafeteria service.

Modern establishment
Robert Hartley (also known as Ishvara) bought the land in 1972 to be a Gestalt center. Sold to the Heart Consciousness Church (HCC) in 1975, Harbin/HCC operates as a Retreat Center. Harbin/HCC maintains a more specifically religious organization, the New Age Church of Being, incorporated in 1996. Harbin is a center for the expression of New Age beliefs. Harbin's clothing-optional policy, its pools, and the natural beauty of the local landscape are part of Harbin's appeal to visitors, who must agree to membership, if only temporarily, for admission.

Harbin has been a center for the development of new modes of healing and personal development, including Watsu (water shiatsu), a massage technique created by Harold Dull at Harbin in the early 1980s. Watsu, based on gently moving the body through water, is now practiced in spas throughout the world.

The Woman Who Walked into Doors

The Woman Who Walked Into Doors (1996) is a novel by Irish writer Roddy Doyle. It was adapted from the 1994 RTÉ/BBC miniseries Family.

Plot summary
The novel tells the struggle and survival of Paula Spencer, an abused wife who is the narrator. The title comes from an incident where Paula's husband asks her how she received a bruise he was responsible for, and she replies that she "walked into a door."

A sequel, Paula Spencer, was published in 2006. The narrative blends her recounting of the circumstances of her childhood, courtship and wedding day, with reflections on those events. The gathering drama is linked to the increasing awareness of moving towards a climax, which is on the one hand the outbreak of violence in her marriage, and on the other hand the violent death of her husband.

Critical reception
The New York Times praised "Mr. Doyle's entirely unsentimental and perfectly attuned comprehension of the real world of the Irish present." Robert Christgau wrote that Doyle "has the decency to understand that the most constrained human life is never simple, and the grace and guts to prove how unimpoverished the countless meanings of that truth can be."

Adaptations
The Spencer family first appeared in the RTÉ/BBC TV miniseries Family in 1994.

The novel was adapted as an opera by the composer Kris Defoort and the director Guy Cassiers. It received its world premiere in November 2001 at deSingel in Antwerp, and toured extensively before being played in Dublin's Gaiety Theatre in October 2003.

Britney Spears doll

The Britney Spears doll is a celebrity doll made in the likeness of American pop singer Britney Spears. Several versions of the doll were released. Each doll is dressed in costumes that resemble the clothing Spears had worn in concerts, appearances, and music videos. The Britney Spears doll was the first doll produced by Play Along Toys.

The doll
Jay Foreman and Charlie Emby, the founders of Play Along Toys, spent millions of dollars to license, advertise, and distribute the Britney Spears dolls. In 1999, Play Along Toys released the Britney Spears Fashion Doll; the Britney Doll was notable, as it was the first product Play Along Toys ever released. The dolls feature Spears in different outfits, make-up, and hairstyles from her concerts, appearances, photoshoots and music videos. The packaging the dolls were sold in often contained CDs of individual songs, stickers, and other accessories.

At the same time Play Along Toys released the first Britney Doll, Yaboom Toys released their own version of the popular toy. The Singing Character, fashioned as Spears, plays a full-length version of one of Spear's popular songs when a button on the doll's stomach is pressed. The doll arrived on toy store shelves just in time for the holidays in 2000.

A porcelain version of the Britney Doll was also released. The doll wears the classic outfit worn by Spears in the "...Baby One More Time" music video and is accompanied by a stand for easy display.

Popularity
On October 15, 1999, the first Britney Spears Doll was released. The initial doll sold over 800,000 units. To date, over 5 million of the assorted Britney Dolls have been sold. According to the Winnipeg Free Press, the doll is the second best-selling celebrity doll of all time, behind only the Spice Girls dolls.

The first time Spears saw the doll she was displeased with its looks. She asked that the doll be changed because she felt it had the appearance of a bulldog chewing a wasp. As Spears reasoned, I felt a bit bad about ordering changes but hey, it's my doll. Following the changes to the doll's face, the dolls sold out in the United States in December. In the United Kingdom, three weeks of sales resulted in 60,000 dolls being sold.

Production of the doll was later discontinued sometime in late 2001 or early 2002. Years after the doll’s discontinuation, it has become a collectors item among her fans and doll collectors, usually sold on eBay.

...Baby One More Time Dolls
This collection is composed of three dolls fashioning costumes from music videos from 1999.

P.S. I like messages :-P

Self Portrait / McGuinn
Unfortunately, the story McGuinn tells about "Self Portrait" isn't accurate. McGuinn and the Byrds were recruited to work at the first "New Morning" session.

http://www.bjorner.com/DSN01790%201970.htm#DSN01810

The correct chronology is reported in Clive Davis' autobiography and in Heylin's original "Behind The Shades." McGuinn believed he was going to work on "Self Portrait" because he bought into the well-circulated myth that Dylan didn't start working on "New Morning" until after "Self Portrait" was released, but the Columbia session records have been dug out and published; they show that Dylan was working on the "New Morning" songs as early as March 1970, and all but one of the "New Morning" sessions took place before "Self Portrait" was released. Cf the Bjorner site linked above, Heylin's "Recording Sessions," Dundas' "Tangled (Up In Tapes)." Monicasdude 00:41, 7 September 2005 (UTC)

Greatest White Wonder
There's no evidence that the "Greatest White Wonder" Landau mentioned ever existed, except as a title somebody wrote on a plain-cover bootleg LP. (And here were lots of those around in the early 1970s.) It doesn't show up as verified in any reliable Dylan discographies; nobody's turned up a copy, and the Google hits all trace back to Landau. Whatever Landau heard, there was a bootleg called "Looking Back" available in metro New York in early/spring 1971, and even that one may not have been the first. Monicasdude 16:15, 9 October 2005 (UTC)

Dylan chronology....
I hear what you're saying, but chronologies are for release dates, not recording dates. Perhaps mentioning in the preceeding album's article (recorded, that is) that Dylan recorded "The Basement Tapes" with The Band in 1967 (in Blonde on Blonde for instance). This way those who don't want to lose the chronology of the recordings can easily find a link to the next recorded project, even if it was released in thirty years later.

Cheers BGC 20:32, 13 October 2005 (UTC)

Mass reverts
That's not an actual rule, you just made that up. Furthermore, you seem to have a huge problem making mass reverts judging by the complaints you've been getting on your talk page, all of which have been deleted by you (they still show up in the history page). Whatever, if you want to indulge in your own obsessive compulsive behavior, knock yourself out.

Slane Hill
You created the Slane Hill article. I have proposed that it be merged into the Slane article. Please feel free to express you opinion of this proposal at Talk:Slane. -- Patleahy 02:37, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

Orphaned fair use image (Image:1985-SunCity.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:1985-SunCity.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box.

Please provie a fair use rational and source for the Dick Butkus photo you downloaded. Quadzilla99 17:45, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

Image:Photo17.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Photo17.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

 * 1) Go to the image description page and edit it to add , without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
 * 2) On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on [ this link]. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Yonatan talk 14:13, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Huskerdu_pub_WB.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Huskerdu_pub_WB.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

Talk:Marianna, Florida

Demographics
The demographics section contains grossly incorrect (in fact, inconsistent) data. It needs to be updated from the new census data. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 134.253.26.10 (talk) 18:17, 12 March 2009 (UTC)

This says "As of the census[1] of 2000, there were 6,230 people, 12,398 households, and 11,395 families residing in the city." This makes no sense, as there can't possibly be more households than people.

General poor quality
There should at least be a mention of the Dozier school. Methinks some upset citizens are getting in the way of that. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.250.234.144 (talk) 01:07, 4 April 2012 (UTC)

Most of the Dozier material on this page should be moved to another article or deleted entirely. The writing is sub-standard and the point-of-view is questionable.

The story of the plane crash sure is exciting, y'all!, but it isn't appropriate for a Transportation section. (I'm not convinced that the Marianna article even justifies a Transportation section.) It also lacks citations.

The Claude Neal story should be given some context; the brutality might slightly exceed that of the typical lynching, but that is not the significance of the event. The PBS article cited provides some insight that is lacking from the description in the Marianna article.

As a whole, the Marianna article is lacking in citations and links to other Wikipedia articles.
 * I second almost everything you say. Isn't Neal the one "famous" for cursing the court house clock? I'm tempted to say "Not that wiki would care" but actually in the context of this article it might be worth mentioning. On the subject of lynching if I remember a story about my great grandfather right I belive Marianna might have been host to Florida's last "offical" lynching (which is to say a large public mob, as opposed to a klan style murder). I can't cite any sources, puts it's something I've always heard if anyone can back that up. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.159.89.194 (talk) 14:47, 28 January 2010 (UTC)

Deleted
I deleted the phrase "The Chipola River runs through the heart of Marianna", as it actually marks the eastern boundry. While I suspect some peotic meaning was implied, and many if not the bulk of the local busniesses are on the other side of that boundry, the article is likely to be taken litteraly and the wording suggests the river runs through the middle of town. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.159.89.194 (talk) 14:57, 28 January 2010 (UTC)

Dozier Reform info deleted can now be easily verified
The following text was deleted from IP 69.244.215.96 on Feb 21, 2013 with the reasoning: "(The deleted section is a yet to be established)". "Marianna is also the location of the now-closed Florida Industrial Reform School for Boys, where former students (who are now senior citizens) allege that during the 1940s, 50's and 60's, students were subjected to a routine of severe brutality and abuse, consisting of violent beatings and even murder at the hands of employees and administrators. A 2009 investigation by the State of Florida failed to uncover any evidence to support this allegation, and claimed that the 31 marked graves on the property were victims of a 1914 fire and flu outbreaks. The investigation was further hampered due to the passage of time, since most of the former school employees have since died. In October 2012, a forensic search of the property by a scientific team headed by Dr. Erin Kimmerle, an anthropologist from the University of South Florida, identified an additional 18 previously unknown graves within the cemetery and the adjoining property, as well as another cemetery, which may possibly contain the bodies of black students, buried in a different area due to segregation, making a total of 49 unidentified graves. Families of missing students have raised questions and concern toward the fate of their family members in the aftermath of the investigation, and as of October 2012 it is still ongoing. The investigation is also under a time constraint, because the State of Florida is in the process of selling the 1,400 acre property." Since all of the information is now extremely easy to verify or refute, maybe it's time to restore some of it. Twang (talk) 22:03, 10 December 2014 (UTC)

Talk:President's Council on Bioethics

Cleanup request and stub cat
An extremely long article that essentially says... almost nothing, thus the stub category.

When was it formed? What is its task? What have it proposed/done? Why is it controversial? Who opposes it? Who supports it? How does it compare to other similar councils worldwide? -- Nabla 03:13, 16 July 2005 (UTC)

 * The existing text also looks suspiciously like a copy-vio (although I wasn't able to actually find evidence of this). I think it would be simpler to throw out the existing article content and start essentially from scratch. Neilc 07:24, 28 August 2005 (UTC)

Criticisms Section
This stub/article direly needs a criticism section, seeing as many intelligent scientists have regarded it (properly) as a unscientific puppet organization for inane political lobbies (at least one resigning from it for this reason). One good source for critiques is Gregory Stock's "Redesigning Humans", in part a response to Fukuyama's "Our Posthuman Future" and other writings associated with the council. --Xris0 (talk) 22:49, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

Lilly Pulitzer

Lillian Pulitzer Rousseau (November 10, 1931 – April 7, 2013) was an American entrepreneur, fashion designer, and socialite. She founded Lilly Pulitzer, Inc., which produces floral print clothing and other wares.

Career
Lilly and husband Herbert Pulitzer settled in Palm Beach, Florida, shortly after their marriage. They owned several Florida orange groves and, with produce from these, she opened a fruit juice stand on Via Mizner in Palm Beach. While working at the stand, Pulitzer found that squeezing juice made a mess of her clothes, and asked her dressmaker to design a dress that would camouflage the stains. She discovered that customers loved it, so she produced more to sell at her juice stand. Eventually, she was selling more dresses than juice, and decided to focus on designing and selling what had become known as her "Lillys".

In 1959, Pulitzer became president of her own company, Lilly Pulitzer, Inc. The company's main factory was in Miami, Florida, and the fabrics were produced by the Key West Hand Print Fabrics company in Key West. Over 85% of Pulitzer's prints were designed by Suzie Zuzek, the designer for Key West Hand Prints. From the 1960s to the early 1980s, Pulitzer's bright, colorful clothes were very popular, worn by people such as former classmate Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis and her daughter Caroline Kennedy; and members of the Rockefeller, Vanderbilt and Whitney families. After Jackie was featured in Life wearing one of Lilly's shifts, many preppy ladies followed her lead. The Jacqueline dress is one of Lilly Pulitzer's most successful styles. Lilly later stated that the first shift dress Jackie was photographed in was made of kitchen curtains. By 1984, Lilly closed down the entire clothing operation.

Revival of the brand
In 1993, the rights to the brand were purchased by Sugartown Worldwide, Inc. They contacted Pulitzer with the hopes of reviving the brand because "they just loved Lilly, their mothers and sisters loved Lilly, and they wanted to bring the line back", Pulitzer said.

Today, the company maintains 75 Lilly Pulitzer Signature Stores (also known as Via Shops).

The brand, carried by 23 company-owned retail stores, also sells to independently owned shops and major department stores, such as Belk, Lord and Taylor, Nordstrom, Saks Fifth Avenue, and Neiman Marcus. On December 21, 2010, Sugartown Worldwide, Inc. was purchased by Oxford Industries, Inc.

In April 2015, Target announced a collaboration with Lilly Pulitzer. Within hours, the collection was almost entirely sold out, in stores and online.

Products

Along with women's clothing, the company also produces children's clothing, swim, shoes, jewelry, accessories, bedding (revived in 2010 ), and stationery. Lilly never wanted to produce clothing that was suited for the colder months. "It's always summer somewhere", she was quoted as saying. In accordance with Pulitzer's reported preferences, the dress was to be worn with bare feet and was lined, in order not to require underwear. The company launched an exclusive Bridal Collection in 2010. With everything Lilly does she follows the motto "Everything is possible with sunshine and a little pink", which very accurately represents her fun and vibrant fabric designs.

To honor the original Lilly Pulitzer juice stand and store, the Worth Avenue store in Palm Beach holds exclusive and custom designs that can be created with a choice of print.

Pulitzer published a pair of lifestyle books—Essentially Lilly: A Guide to Colorful Entertaining and Essentially Lilly: A Guide to Colorful Holidays—with author Jay Mulvaney. She also released two desk calendar books, Essentially Lilly 2005 Social Butterfly Engagement Calendar and Essentially Lilly 2006 Party Animal Engagement Calendar. She was known to make special collections with sorority prints on them. She has held contests on her Facebook page to vote on which sororities will get their own prints. In 2014, Lilly Pulitzer stopped the production of sorority printed items.

Personal life
In 1950, she eloped with Herbert (Peter) Pulitzer Jr., grandson of Joseph Pulitzer (publisher after whom the Pulitzer Prize is named). The couple had three children: Peter, Minnie and Liza. In 1969, Lilly and Peter were divorced. She married Enrique Rousseau shortly thereafter. Although she legally changed her name to Lillian McKim Rousseau, her clothing company continued to operate under the "Lilly Pulitzer" label. She continued to reside in Palm Beach, Florida. Enrique Rousseau died of cancer in 1993.

Death
On April 7, 2013, aged 81, Pulitzer Rousseau died at her home in Palm Beach, Florida.

Cultural impact
Lisa Birnbach's tongue-in-cheek guides, The Official Preppy Handbook and its sequel True Prep: It's a Whole New Old World, feature Lilly Pulitzer clothing as must-have items for "preppy" women. The Museum of Lifestyle & Fashion History in Boynton Beach, Florida, ran an exhibit from August 2010 through May 2011 about the clothing and designs of Lilly Pulitzer. Museum director Lori Durante stated "Lilly Pulitzer fashion is relative to the American experience ... [it] is relevant to Palm Beach County, to Florida." In 1966, The Washington Post reported that the dresses were "so popular that at the Southampton Lilly shop on Job's Lane they are proudly put in clear plastic bags tied gaily with ribbons so that all the world may see the Lilly of your choice. It's like carrying your own racing colors or flying a yacht flag for identification."

Archibald Baxter

Archibald McColl Learmond Baxter (13 December 1881 – 10 August 1970) was a New Zealand socialist, pacifist and conscientious objector.

Early life
Baxter was born at Saddle Hill, Otago, on 13 December 1881, to John Baxter and Mary McColl. His father had migrated to New Zealand from Scotland in 1861. Leaving school at 12, Baxter worked on a farm and became Head Ploughman at Gladbrook Station.

During the 1899–1902 Second Boer War New Zealand sent troops to help the British. Baxter considered enlisting, but heard a Dunedin lawyer, possibly Alfred Richard Barclay, speak about pacifism before he did so and decided against enlisting. He read pacifist and anti-military literature, forming a Christian Socialist view. Baxter also heard Keir Hardie speak during his 1908 visit to New Zealand and concluded that war would not solve problems. He convinced six of his seven brothers that war was wrong.

Conscription
With the introduction of conscription under the Military Service Act 1916, Baxter and his brothers refused to register on the grounds that "all war is wrong, futile, and destructive alike to victor and vanquished."

The Act did not recognise their stand, as the only grounds for a man to claim conscientious objection were:

"That he was on the fourth day of August, nineteen hundred and fourteen, and has since continuously been a member of a religious body the tenets and doctrines of which religious body declare the bearing of arms and the performance of any combatant service to be contrary to Divine revelation, and also that according to his own conscientious religious belief the bearing of arms and the performance of any combatant service is unlawful by reason of being contrary to Divine revelation."

This was a considerable contraction of the exemption allowed under the Defence Amendment Act 1912, which had provided under Section 65(2)

"On the application of any person a Magistrate may grant to the applicant a certificate of exemption from military training and service if the Magistrate is satisfied that the applicant objects in good faith to such training and service on the ground that it is contrary to his religious belief."

The 1916 Act meant that only Christadelphians, Seventh-day Adventists, and Quakers were to be recognised as conscientious objectors. As Baxter was not a member of one of these, he could not apply for objector status. According to the Act, Baxter was automatically deemed to be a First Division Reservist. The Act also required all eligible males to enroll in the Expeditionary Force Reserve or face up to 3 months imprisonment or a fine of £50. Baxter had not enrolled. Failing to enroll and being convicted of it also meant that Baxter could be immediately called up for service. Failure to report for duty became either desertion or absence without leave, offences under the Army Act.

Baxter and two of his brothers – Alexander and John – were arrested by civilian police in mid March 1917 for failing to enroll under the Act and were first imprisoned in The Terrace Gaol, Wellington. They were subsequently transferred directly to Trentham Military Camp when their appeals as conscientious objectors were rejected. On 21 March Archibald and John Baxter and William Little, another objector, refused to put on Army uniform; Alexander Baxter refused to work. All were Court Martialed, all stating that they did not consider themselves soldiers, having never volunteered or taken the oath of allegiance. None was represented by legal counsel. The four were sentenced to 84 days imprisonment with hard labour, served at both the Terrace Gaol and Mount Cook Prison. At the end of their sentence they were to be sent back to Trentham Camp. Back at Trentham after release, Archibald Baxter continued to refuse orders and was sentenced to 28 days detention.

Deportation to the front
In 1917 the Minister of Defence, Sir James Allen, decided that all men claiming to be conscientious objectors but not accepted as such should be sent to the Western Front. Accordingly, orders were given by Colonel H R Potter, Trentham Camp Commandant, that he along with 13 other conscientious objectors – his two brothers, William Little (Hikurangi), Frederick Adin (Foxton), Garth Carsley Ballantyne (Wellington), Mark Briggs (politician), David Robert Gray (Hinds. Canterbury), Thomas Percy Harland (Roslyn, Dunedin), Lawrence Joseph Kirwan (Hokitika), Daniel Maguire (Foxton), Lewis Edward Penwright (Geeverton, Tasmania), Henry Patton (Cobden Greymouth) and Albert Ernest Sanderson (Babylori, North Wairoa) – were to be shipped out. On 24 July they were embarked on the troopship Waitemata en voyage to Cape Town, where a measles epidemic on board caused the ship to stop. Archibald, Jack and Sanderson and some troops were taken to hospital, and the ship was condemned by the port authorities as unfit for troops, necessitating the civilian liner Norman Castle being used to take the main military group, including the other COs, to England.

After recovery, Archibald and the other two COs were taken on the civilian liner Llanstephan Castle, arriving at Plymouth, Devon, on 26 December. Baxter was still refusing to put on a uniform or do any work for the army. He was kept under detention at Sling Camp, Salisbury Plain, and then sent to France, Folkestone–Boulogne, and on to Étaples. British newspapers of the time reported that because he had been sent to the front he could be shot for disobeying orders.

There Baxter remained under detention and continued to refuse any military involvement. He had been assigned to E Company of the 28th Reinforcements, led by Captain Frederick Harold Batten, father of the aviator Jean Batten. He was placed under Lt Col George Mitchell, 3rd Otago Reserve Battalion, who investigated his case, questioning him about his beliefs, but ultimately finding that he was considered a soldier by the New Zealand Government. Mitchell told Baxter that if he did not obey military orders he should expect to be punished, as determined by Mitchell. Eventually Mitchell punished Baxter with 28 days of Field Punishment No.1 at Ouderdom (near Ypres in Belgium).

A doctor examined Baxter before the punishment, and despite telling Baxter he thought he was unfit for it, spitefully passed him as fit. Because the personnel at Ouderdom would not punish him, he was moved to Mud Farm near Dickebusch (also known as Dikkebus) in West Flanders, where he was put under two hours punishment each day. Eventually he was sent to Abeele and back to Mitchell. On 5 March Mitchell ordered him up to the lines at Ypres. Provost Sergeant Booth was put in charge of Baxter and at one time punched him in the face and beat him up, Booth saying he had been ordered to do so. Baxter was placed under Captain Phillips and taken to the Otago Infantry Regiment camp. He was then returned to Booth's supervision.

At one stage Booth, on direction from a Captain Stevenson, placed Baxter by an ammunition dump being shelled by the Germans. Despite a heavy barrage, Baxter was unharmed. After further abusive treatment including starvation, he suffered a complete physical and mental breakdown, and was sent to hospital in England about May 1918. According to his records, by the time he went to hospital he had been assigned to the 3rd New Zealand Entrenching Battalion.

Baxter was said to have been diagnosed as suffering from melancholia. He was returned to New Zealand, but during the voyage was diagnosed as being in good mental and physical health. He arrived on 21 September 1918, and returned to his Otago farm after the war.

The physical treatment given to Baxter can to a large extent be directly attributed to the attitudes of the Minister of Defence, Allen; the Commander of New Zealand forces based in England, Brigadiar-General Sir George Richardson, and General Godley, Commander of the New Zealand Expeditionary Forces. Godley gave orders that if Baxter and the others failed to comply, they were to be "summarily punished or dealt with at reinforcement camps, where they are now, and that they are not to be sent up to the front." Neither Allen nor Richardson had any such qualms and were likely to be the reason behind Baxter being taken to the front.

Reaction in New Zealand and England
Concern about the fate of Baxter and the others sent to France began to be raised by the Dunedin branch of the Women's International League. The Canterbury Women's Institute also wrote expressing concern. In late 1917 English Quaker and wife of the late John Ellis, Maria Rountree, wrote about trying to find the fate of the 14 objectors, only to be stonewalled by the Commander of the New Zealand forces, Richardson. Harry Holland MP, citing an article in the Dominion on 21 November, deduced that the British Government had condemned the New Zealand government's sending of conscientious objectors to the front. The paper had written, "the Imperial authorities have no wish to be troubled with men who will not fight,..". This effectively ended such deportations, but did not mean the release of those already in France.

In February 1918 the National Peace Council of New Zealand, wrote to the Minister of Defence, James Allen, expressing concern about the treatment of Baxter and the others. Of particular concern was the sending of the objectors to the front, where they could be court-martialled and shot for not fighting the enemy. Harry Holland MP also took up their cases, writing to the Prime Minister and newspapers.

As further news came of the inhumane way Baxter had been treated by the military, it was the subject of a Women's International League delegation to the Acting Prime Minister and Minister of Defence, Sir James Allen in June 1918. The treatment of both him and the other objectors continued to be raised after the war by Harry Holland MP and others. In 2014 a docu-drama of his treatment entitled Field Punishment No 1 was televised.

The attitude of the military of the day towards Baxter was summed up in a letter from Colonel Robert Tate, Adjutant-General, New Zealand Military Headquarters, in which he stated "Regarding Archibald Baxter ... the sympathy of many earnest people who would like to see the lot of the conscientious objector alleviated, is wasted on men [Baxter] who are in no sense conscientious but are merely defiant of all control and willing to be subject to no law but their own inclinations. ..."

Inter-war period
On 12 February 1921 Archibald married Millicent Amiel Macmillan Brown, daughter of the late Helen Connon, and Professor John Macmillan Brown, founding chair of Canterbury College. Brown opposed the marriage due to the disparity in the couple's backgrounds – Millicent, educated overseas, and Archie, who had received only a primary education. Millicent, in her autobiography, stated that she had heard of Baxter in 1918 and became a pacifist a short time later.

During the 1920s the Baxters farmed at Brighton and had two sons, Terence (born 1922) and James Keir (born 1926). James' middle name was chosen in honour of Keir Hardie, a founder of the Labour Party in Britain, who notably spoke against war at a rally in London on 2 August 1914, two days before Britain (and New Zealand) declared war. James grew up to become one of New Zealand's most famous poets, and both sons became pacifists.

With Millicent's support, he founded the Dunedin Branch of the New Zealand No More War Movement in 1931. The movement sought to end conscription and promote disarmament. His father-in-law died in the 1930s and the Baxters inherited enough from his estate to enable them to travel. They moved to Wanganui, then went to Salisbury, England in 1937. Baxter addressed the 5th War Resisters' International conference (the last before World War II) in Copenhagen, 23–26 July. While living at Salisbury he wrote his account of his World War I experiences, published as We Will Not Cease in 1939. The family returned to New Zealand in 1938.

World War II
Both of Baxter's sons followed their parents' pacifism. His elder son, Terence, was imprisoned for refusing conscription during World War II. The National Service Emergency Regulations 1940, under which he was called up, were almost as limiting on the grounds for conscientious objection as the 1916 Act. Regulation 21 (2) required the person objecting to prove they held ".. a genuine belief that it is wrong to engage in warfare in any circumstances." The regulation further stated that "Evidence of active and genuine membership of a pacifist religious body may in general be accepted as evidence of the convictions of the objector..." Active and continuous membership of the Society of Friends or Christadelphians prior to the outbreak of war was taken sufficient proof. The Appeal Boards set up under the regulations tended to take a very narrow and sometimes contradictory view of conscientious objectors. After an April 1941 British court case those deemed to be politically based were unlikely to be accepted. The continuation of conscription must have been ironic for Baxter as many members of the now governing Labour Party had been imprisoned during World War I for opposing conscription. The prime minister, Michael Joseph Savage, had been very vocal opposing conscription during that war.

During the war Baxter was an active member of the Dunedin Branch of the New Zealand Peace Pledge Union.

Later years
After the war the Baxters continued their involvement with the peace movement. They lobbied against nuclear weapons, supported Amnesty International, and wrote against the Vietnam War, about which in 1968 Archibald said: "…the only apparent justification that war ever had was that by destroying some lives it might clumsily preserve others. But now even that justification is being stripped away. We make war chiefly on civilians and respect for human life seems to have become a thing of the past. To accept this situation would be to accept the Devil's philosophy."

During the 1950s–60s the Baxters also took a keen interest in botany, discovering on a trip to Dunstan a new plant species now known as Gingidia baxterae.

In 1965, Baxter's younger son James convinced both Archibald and Millicent to become Roman Catholics.

Baxter lived in Dunedin until his death on 10 August 1970.

Archibald Baxter Memorial Trust
In 2013 a group in Dunedin, chaired by Kevin P. Clements of the University of Otago National Centre for Peace and Conflict Studies, set up the Archibald Baxter Memorial Trust to honour Baxter and other conscientious objectors of the First World War. Ian Fraser is the trust's patron, and trustees include Baxter's granddaughter Katherine Baxter.

The Trust proposed an annual lecture in Baxter's name, an annual essay competition commencing in August 2014, and a memorial in Dunedin in Baxter's honour. The first lecture was given on 22 September 2014 by Australian historian and author Professor Henry Reynolds of the University of Tasmania. His lecture was titled Discovering Archibald Baxter and the thoughts on war which followed. The topic for the Trust's first essay competition was They also served who would not fight and was to be set against a backdrop of New Zealand History. There were two age group categories: Junior (New Zealand school years 9–11) and Senior (New Zealand school years 12–13). The senior section was won by Modi Deng of Columba College and the Junior section by Rhys Davie of Tokomairiro High School.

More than $100,000 were raised through grants and donations for what will be the first memorial to honour pacifism in New Zealand. The Trust hoped to unveil the memorial on the centenary of the Battle of Passchendaele in 2017, however resource consent was not granted until July 2018. Construction of the memorial, which is estimated to cost $300,000, commenced in April 2021 at a site on the corner of George and Albany Streets, Dunedin and was officially opened on 29 October 2021.

Shankleville, Texas

Shankleville is an unincorporated community in Newton County, Texas, United States, founded by James and Winnie Shankle and Stephen McBride. It was founded as a Freedmen's town, one of over 500 such "freedom colonies" in Texas.

James and Winnie Shankle
Jim (James) and Winnie (Brush) Shankle were the first Black couple in Newton County, Texas to purchase land. The Shankles were born enslaved, Jim in Kentucky in 1811 and Winnie in Tennessee in 1814. Winnie had three children prior to meeting Jim Shankle on a plantation of Isaac Rollins in Wayne County, Mississippi. The family was later separated when Winnie and the children were sold to a man moving from Mississippi to Newton County in East Texas. Following Winnie's departure, Jim self-liberated from the plantation in Mississippi, searching for his family; Jim traveled 400 miles on foot to East Texas, where the plantation owner arranged to purchase Jim as well. Along with Winnie's three children, the couple had six of their own: George Washington Rollins, Tobe Perkins, Mary Rollins (McBride), George, Henry, Houston, John, Harriet (Odom), B.M. (Lewis).

Following Emancipation, the Shankles and their son-in-law (husband of Mary) Stephen McBride began purchasing land in Newton County in 1867. They eventually owned over 4,000 acres and their neighborhood would grow to include farms, churches, grist mills, cotton gin, sawmills, cotton mill, store, blacksmith, and schools. Stephen McBride gave the land for a school and cemetery and built McBride College in 1883, which remained in operations until 1909.

History
Shankleville was founded in 1867 by James "Jim" and Winnie (Brush) Shankle and Stephen McBride, the first African Americans to purchase land, become leaders of the settlement, and develop the town after the Emancipation Proclamation. Named in honor of the Jim and Winnie, Shankleville was one of ten freedmen's settlements established in Newton County following the Civil War, including Biloxi, Cedar Grove, Galloway, Huff Creek, Indian Hills, Jamestown, Liberty, Pleasant Hill, and St. John.

The Shankles bought "a league" of land and invited other families to live and create businesses there, amassing land holdings over 4,000 acres. "Shankleville began as a rural community where African-Americans could live and farm their own land away from the violence of white supremacist activities, the strictures of segregation, and the economic enslavement of sharecropping, or working for less than subsistence wages as domestic servants and in other menial jobs," the U.S. Department of the Interior notes in its National Register of Historic Places designation of Shankleville's Addie L. and A.T. Odom Homestead.

At Shankleville, a single family—the related Shankle-McBride clan—had unusual financial resources that they initially used to purchase land early on, which fostered the development of the community (Handbook of Texas Online: "Freedmen's Settlements"). At its peak, Shankleville is thought to have housed about 75 families. The settlement prospered and included schools, churches, a cotton gin, saw mill, grist mill, sugarcane mill, store, and blacksmith.

Stephen McBride gave the land for a school and cemetery. McBride College was a two-story structure which operated from 1883 to 1909. Named after Stephen McBride, the school also served as a community center and town hall. During summer, teachers came to attend training conferences and seminars. When school was not in session, McBride College was also used to host revivals featuring traveling preachers.
