Talk:Larry the Cable Guy

Info about wife
In this interview with Lewis Black, Mr. Black claims that he is Larry's wife's favorite comic: ASP: So, what’s your relationship with Dan Whitney, Larry the Cable Guy? LB: I told Dan to become Larry the Cable Guy and changed his life. No, I’ve known Dan since he was Dan Whitney, so I’ve watched him grow, and then I watched him really bust his hump. You might not like what Larry does and says, and you may not think it’s funny, but he did all the work. I’ve known him forever, and it’s like as he put it, “What am I going to tell my audience, to go home?” And we totally don’t agree on politics, but he’s a friend of mine. But, I’m his wife’s favorite comic. That’s the best part, so, I win.

Just curious which is correct? Is his wife's name Susie or Cara? I see in the first paragraph of that section it says it's Susie. A few paragraphs later it says it's Cara. I believe it is Cara because I have seen it elsewhere in several places. For instance, http://celebritybabies.people.com/2010/09/29/larry-the-cable-guy-and-wife-cara-how-we-healed-our-son’s-hip-dysplasia/ and http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1249256/bio. I don't wish to rock any boats so I am just putting my 2 cents here. Thanks. 71.3.101.247 (talk) 02:13, 14 July 2013 (UTC)

Material in need of sourcing
I'm moving the following material here until it can be properly sourced:

"The few biographies of Whitney describe only the fictional life of Larry the Cable Guy, as he rarely speaks out of character when in public. His father died 'a few years ago' in Florida, while his mother Shirley lives in Lincoln, Nebraska. He has an older sister, Debbie, who also lives in Lincoln. His older brother, Tom Whitney, Jr., with daughter Danielle, named after her uncle, lives in Florida. He and his wife, Cara, have been married since 2005, and they have a son and a daughter, Wyatt and Reagan." Nightscream (talk) 01:53, 13 September 2009 (UTC)

Birth location
Could someone provide a source for his birth place rather than edit warring about it? I have no idea which is correct, so I haven't touched either the changes of reverts; I don't know if the changes are vandalism or editors sincerely trying to correct an error. So...sources? Even unreliable ones? Qwyrxian (talk) 08:52, 2 November 2010 (UTC)

Radio History
In the article, they mention that he was on WJRR in Orlando. Before this, he was a frequent caller and guest on WDIZ 100.3 in Orlando.

The reference to WDIZ in Panama City is incorrect. That may be their new location, but DIZ was originally a classic rock station in Orlando. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Neonhomer (talk • contribs) 03:52, 15 January 2012 (UTC)

Christian Democratic Alliance (Fiji)

The Christian Democratic Alliance, better known locally by its Fijian name, Veitokani ni Lewenivanua Vakarisito (VLV), was a Fijian political party that operated in the late 1990s and early 2000s.

The party was founded in 1997 when a faction of the then-ruling Soqosoqo ni Vakavulewa ni Taukei (SVT) broke away, but was not registered until February 1999. Rev. Ratu Josaia Rayawa was appointed President of the party, with Ratu Epeli Ganilau, son of former Fijian President Ratu Sir Penaia Ganilau and son-in-law of the then-current President, Ratu Sir Kamisese Mara, as interim leader. Other prominent members of the party included Adi Koila Nailatikau (Mara's daughter and Ganilau's sister-in-law), Poseci Bune, Rev. Manasa Lasaro (a former Secretary-General of the Methodist Church, who had advocated banning all commercial and sporting activities on Sundays), and Josefa Vosanibola.

In the general election of 1999, the VLV was widely seen as playing a spoiler role. Campaigning on a platform of strengthening anti-corruption laws, establishing programs to eradicate poverty, and reinforcing the family unit, it took 19 percent of the indigenous Fijian vote, mostly at the expense of the SVT, which lost the election. Ganilau himself failed to win a seat, however, and Bune replaced him as leader. The VLV joined the People's Coalition government of Prime Minister Mahendra Chaudhry, and Bune and Nailatikau were appointed to the Cabinet.

The VLV splintered in the political realignment that followed the coup d'état, which deposed the Chaudhry government. Many of its members, including Rayawa and Vosanibola, joined the new Soqosoqo Duavata ni Lewenivanua of interim Prime Minister Laisenia Qarase, while others, including Bune, joined the Fiji Labour Party of deposed Prime Minister Chaudhry. A rump of the party continued under the leadership of Taniela Tabu and fielded two candidates, unsuccessfully, in the general election held to restore democracy in September 2001, but most members of this rump subsequently merged with members of the SVT and the New Labour Unity Party to form the Fiji Democratic Party under the leadership of the former SVT leader Filipe Bole. In 2005, this party merged into the new National Alliance Party of Fiji, founded by the former VLV leader, Ratu Epeli Ganilau.

Grand Canyon Limited

The Grand Canyon Limited was one of the named passenger trains of the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway. It was train Nos. 23 & 24 between Chicago, Illinois, and Los Angeles, California.

History
In 1901 the Santa Fe Railroad completed a 64-mile (103-km) branch from Williams, Arizona, to "Grand Canyon Village" at the South Rim of Grand Canyon National Park. The first scheduled train arrived from Williams on September 17 of that year; branch line trains and excursions from Southern California, Chicago, and Texas could run directly to the Rim. On June 29, 1929, service commenced on the Grand Canyon Limited, which became a celebrated vacation train.

The westward train split at Barstow, one section running to San Francisco (Oakland-Richmond) via the Tehachapi Loop while the other continued to Los Angeles. In 1938 it began running via Amarillo instead of La Junta; in 1950 it became two trains west of Kansas City, one by each route.

During World War II the Limited often ran in two or three sections carrying troops. In later years the train lost passengers to the railroad's newer trains such as the Super Chief with its streamlined cars.

The Grand Canyon train lost its name in early 1968 when the railway petitioned the ICC to drop service to Grand Canyon National Park; the train would continue as Trains 23 and 24 until the May 1, 1971, handover of all passenger service to Amtrak. While the Santa Fe had been willing to continue operating its famed Chiefs and the San Diegan, the prospect of having to operate its less successful routes until at least 1976 led it to hand its passenger routes to Amtrak. The Grand Canyon had been an anachronism for some time. It remained a mostly whistle stop train long after the automobile made such scheduling obsolete for passenger service. Despite this, the Santa Fe continued this scheduling model in order to more efficiently deliver mail parcels. However, when the Post Office abruptly pulled its mail contracts in 1967, the Grand Canyon became a particularly large albatross around the Santa Fe's neck, especially when the ICC turned down requests to withdraw the train.

Timeline

 * September 17, 1901: The Santa Fe inaugurates service on the 64 mi Grand Canyon Railway, running between Williams, Arizona, and the South Rim of Grand Canyon.
 * January 1905: The Santa Fe-built El Tovar Hotel opens its doors. The luxurious destination resort is situated just 20 ft from the canyon rim.
 * June 29, 1929: The Grand Canyon Limited enters service; schedule 66 hours each way between Chicago and Los Angeles.
 * June 4, 1938: the Grand Canyon Limited is rerouted over the Belen Cutoff through Amarillo, Texas. Transit time is reduced to 60 hr 15 min westward and 58 hr 35 min eastward.
 * June 2, 1946: The Grand Canyon Limited begins running via Riverside-Fullerton) instead of Pasadena.
 * June 8, 1947: The train receives its first diesel locomotives and stainless-steel lightweight passenger cars. The train is broken into two sections and the name is shortened to the Grand Canyon; the schedule is reduced to 48 hours, 45 minutes.
 * July 1968: The Santa Fe discontinues all passenger service to the Grand Canyon National Park although the tracks are retained for freight service; the Grand Canyon train is stripped of its name becoming simply Trains 23 and 24.
 * May 1, 1971: Amtrak takes over passenger service from the Santa Fe; the Southwest Chief begins service over much of the route.
 * May 2, 1971: The final Train 24 that left Los Angeles on April 30 arrives at Dearborn Station in Chicago, ending Santa Fe revenue passenger service.
 * 1974: The Santa Fe abandons the Grand Canyon Railway.
 * September 17, 1989: Passenger service on the Grand Canyon Railway resumes after being purchased by private owners, independent from the Santa Fe in 1988.
 * 2002: Santa Fe 3751, a preserved steam locomotive, runs on the line as part of the 2002 NRHS Convention. It briefly operated over the Grand Canyon Railway alongside the railroad's steam locomotives 18 and 4960.
 * May 16, 2012: As part of the State of Arizona's centennial celebration, a 5-day journey to the Grand Canyon took place on a special excursion train of the same name. Santa Fe 3751 and Grand Canyon Railway 4960 pulled the train with the help of an Amtrak heritage unit over the Grand Canyon Railway route.

Equipment used
A variety of steam- and diesel-powered locomotives pulled the Grand Canyon Limited.

The original rolling stock delivered for the second-class Grand Canyon Limited was heavyweight cars built by Pullman-Standard.

 * One baggage-dormitory-buffet smoking car
 * Two "chair" cars (coaches)
 * One dining car
 * Three compartment and drawing-room sleepers
 * One full open-end observation / parlor car

Train length varied; the train often ran in two or three sections during the summer months.

Near the end of its career, in 1968, a typical consist from Chicago to Kansas City was:

 * Two ALCO PAs
 * One streamline baggage car
 * Two coaches

Notable incidents

 * July 7, 1945: Combined train No. 2 (The Scout) and No. 24, powered by locomotive #3733, strikes a "Caterpillar" shovel. The locomotive's pilot, headlight, and cylinders are damaged.

 * December 27, 1949: Train No. 23 collides with an automobile at a grade crossing in Highland Park, California, which flattens the wheels on the locomotives.
 * May 31, 1951: Combined train is sideswiped by train No. 123 in Chandler, Arizona, derailing cars #RSX 287, express #2558, baggage #1634, and "chair" cars #3108 and #3070. No. 123 cars baggage #1791 and #1601, "chair" cars #3087, #3158, and #1169, diner #1461, lounge #136, and sleepers L.S. Hungerford, Tonelea, Toreva, and Centgate also sustain damage.
 * April 5, 1964: Train No. 123 with five diesel locomotives and 16 cars hits a rockslide at 81 mph near Doublea, Arizona, which derails the locomotives, ten baggage cars, and a passenger car.

389 Directory Server

The 389 Directory Server (previously Fedora Directory Server) is a Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) server developed by Red Hat as part of the community-supported Fedora Project. The name "389" derives from the port number used by LDAP.

389 Directory Server supports many operating systems, including Fedora Linux, Red Hat Enterprise Linux, Debian, Solaris, and HP-UX 11i. In late 2016 the project merged experimental FreeBSD support. However, the 389 Directory Server team, as of 2017, is likely to remove HPUX and Solaris support in the upcoming 1.4.x series.

The 389 source code is generally available under the GNU General Public License version 3; some components have an exception for plugin code, while other components use LGPLv2 or Apache. Red Hat also markets a commercial version of the project as Red Hat Directory Server as part of support contracts for RHEL.

History
389 Directory Server is derived from the original University of Michigan Slapd project. In 1996, the project's developers were hired by Netscape Communications Corporation, and the project became known as the Netscape Directory Server (NDS). After acquiring Netscape, AOL sold ownership of the NDS intellectual property to Sun Microsystems, but retained rights akin to ownership. Sun sold and developed the Netscape Directory Server under the name JES/SunOne Directory Server, now Oracle Directory Server since the takeover of Sun by Oracle. AOL/Netscape's rights were acquired by Red Hat, and on June 1, 2005, much of the source code was released as free software under the terms of the GNU General Public License (GPL).

As of 389 Directory Server version 1.0 (December 1, 2005), Red Hat released as free software all the remaining source code for all components included in the release package (admin server, console, etc.) and continues to maintain them under their respective licenses.

In May 2009, the Fedora Directory Server project changed its name to 389 to give the project a distribution- and vendor-neutral name and encourage porting or running the software on other operating systems.

Features
389 Directory server is a rfc4511 compliant server. The project has a focus on ease of use, stability, correctness, and performance.

Supported RFCs
This is a subset of the RFCs that 389 Directory Server supports.

Non RFC Features
In addition to supported RFCS, 389 Directory Server supports a number of features unique to the project.

Putney Vale

Putney Vale is a small community in south west London. It lies between Richmond Park and Wimbledon Common, to the east of Beverley Brook and Kingston Vale. Its main features are a housing estate, a superstore and a large cemetery. The A3 dual carriageway runs through it.

Political geography
Putney Vale is part of the London Borough of Wandsworth and is currently within Roehampton ward and Putney Parliamentary constituency. In the Church of England, it has been a part of Roehampton parish since its separation from Putney parish in 1845.

Housing
Most of the housing is provided by an estate built in the mid-1950s, on land originally earmarked for a possible cemetery extension. It consists of local authority-built (mainly duplex, four-storey) maisonettes and short terraces. Many homes are now privately owned, with the balance owned and let by the Borough. The estate's curved access road, Stag Lane, has a row of shops.

There is further privately owned housing beside the A3, and on Friars Avenue – built in 1983 – adjacent to playing fields and Wimbledon Common.

Amenities
The non-denominational Putney Vale Cemetery and Crematorium, in which a number of well-known people are buried, is north and east of the housing estate. Covering 47 acres, it was established in 1891 and the crematorium in 1938.

Beaver's Holt Primary School on the estate was closed in 1992 due to falling roll numbers. It was then sold to the private Hall School Wimbledon to house its junior branch. In 2019 the site was sold to Thomas's London Day Schools to provide further teaching space for all four of its preparatory schools.

Kingston University's Roehampton Vale campus is situated beside the A3. It has facilities for students on engineering courses.

Shortly before the First World War, 175 acres were added to Wimbledon Common, including much of Newlands Farm, which had been here since the Middle Ages. The extension also created extensive playing fields at Putney Vale named the Richardson Evans Memorial Playing Fields in honour of the scheme's sponsor, Richardson Evans. The fields host Saturday/Sunday league football teams, as well as number of annual schools' rugby and women's football tournaments. It is the home ground of London Cornish RFC.

Allotment fruit and vegetable gardens, let by the Borough, are to the south-west of the housing estate.

An Asda superstore is situated beside the A3.

History
The lower part of Putney Vale, nearer Beverley Brook, was known as Putney Bottom until the mid-nineteenth century.

There are four Wimbledon Common rangers' cottages on Stag Lane and Friars Avenue. On the north east side of the playing fields, Stag Lane becomes a track called Kings Ride. The origin of the Kings Ride name is believed to date from when Henry VIII, while chasing deer from Richmond Park would pursue them onto the common before the wall to the park was built.

The first significant building in Putney Vale was the Halfway House, later the Bald Faced Stag, an Inn established about 1650 on the corner of Stags lane and the Portsmouth Road (now the A3). In the eighteenth century the road here was a well-known spot for robbers. The inn was reputedly a haunt of the highwayman Jerry Abershawe until his execution in 1795, after which his body was displayed in a gibbet at Putney Vale.

In 1912 Kenelm Lee Guinness, a member of the brewing dynasty and a motor racer, acquired the by-then disused Bald Faced Stag inn, where he developed a more efficient sparking plug for use in car and aircraft engines. Small-scale production began at the former inn, and by 1914 Guinness was producing 4,000 plugs a week. The First World War led to an increase in demand, and in 1916 the company was incorporated as KLG. In 1917 larger premises, known as the Robin Hood Engineering Works, were opened to the east of the old premises. This employed over 1,200 mainly women workers, making the factory the largest employer in the area. By 1918, the bulk of the factory's output was reserved for the Royal Air Force.

In 1919 Guinness sold the firm's distribution rights to S. Smith & Sons. In the inter-war years KLG sparking plugs made at Putney Vale were used in the majority of British cars. This included Henry Segrave's Golden Arrow and Malcolm Campbell's Blue Bird series, which set world land speed records. In 1927 Smith & Sons bought KLG and in the 1930s built a new spark plug factory, in an art deco style, on the Putney Vale site. The factory was demolished in 1989 and replaced by an Asda superstore. Asda donated the old factory gates, bearing the KLG logo, to the Brooklands Motor Museum.

Surroundings
Beyond relatively large green buffers – playing fields, a golf course, Richmond Park, Wimbledon Common and Putney Heath – and beyond adjoining Roehampton Vale, are:
 * Roehampton Village
 * Putney
 * Kingston Vale, with Norbiton and Kingston upon Thames beyond
 * Copse Hill, associated with Raynes Park
 * Coombe Hill or Coombe, associated with New Malden
 * Wimbledon Park, associated with Wimbledon Village

Wu Yong

Wu Yong is a fictional character in Water Margin, one of the Four Great Classical Novels in Chinese literature. Nicknamed "Knowledgeable Star", he ranks third among the 36 Heavenly Spirits, the first third of the 108 Stars of Destiny.

Background
The novel portrays Wu Yong as having a fair and handsome face and a long beard – typical features of learned and sophisticated men in Chinese literature. When Wu Yong is an ordinary teacher in a village school in Yuncheng County, he is already likened by some to Zhuge Liang and Chen Ping, two famous strategists of the Han dynasty, for his astuteness and wit. He is hence nicknamed "Knowledgeable Star".

Robbing the convoy of birthday gifts
Wu Yong first appears in the book when he watches Lei Heng, a chief constable of Yuncheng, fight the vagabond Liu Tang from his village school. Liu has come from afar to ask Chao Gai, the headman of Dongxi Village, to partner him to hijack valuables in transportation to the Grand Tutor Cai Jing in the imperial capital Dongjing. But he was tied up by Lei's patrol group while sleeping drunk in a temple because he looked suspicious. Chao Gai tricked Lei to release Liu when the group came to take a rest at his manor. But Liu is embittered and caught up with Lei to demand the money that Chao has given him as compensation for causing him much trouble. Wu Yong, who is a friend of Chao, steps forth to intervene when he senses Lei is about to lose. Chao comes to the scene and puts an end to the fray.

Taking Wu to his house, Chao Gai discloses Liu's proposal. Wu suggests roping in the three Ruan brothers as the current team is too small. He goes to the fishing village where the fisherman brothers live, pretending that he has come to buy fish from them. Step by step he coaxes them to reveal whether they are unhappy with their poverty and want a change. When he is sure that the brothers are disgruntled and detest oppression by officials, Wu reveals his real purpose in calling. The Ruans welcome the invitation. The team at last comprises seven people, with Gongsun Sheng, a Taoist priest, joining in.

Wu devises the hijack plan, which involves Bai Sheng, a loafer who has once received help from Chao Gai. Bai poses as a wine seller while the seven disguise themselves as date merchants, with Yellow Mud Ridge identified as where they would strike. Bai crosses the ridge carrying two buckets of wine when Chao's group and the gift-escorting party led by Yang Zhi are resting there in the shades of trees away from the blazing sun. Yang forbids his men, who are extremely thirsty, to buy any wine from Bai out of caution. Then Chao's group buy a bucket from him. Liu Tang pretends to want a free scoop from the second bucket. As soon as he has had a sip, Bai snatches the ladle from him and pours the remaining wine, now laced with drug, back into the bucket. As both buckets seem safe, with Liu looking all right, the soldiers badger Yang Zhi to allow them to have the remaining bucket. Yang relents and even he himself takes a sip. Once they become numb in their limbs and fall over, the seven men cart away the valuables.

Becoming an outlaw
Mad over the loss of the valuables, which are his birthday gift to his father-in-law Cai Jing, Grand Secretary Liang Shijie of Daming Prefecture orders Jizhou to quickly track down the robbers. Jizhou's authorities soon find clues and send constables to arrest the group in Chao Gai's house. However, with help of the magistrate's clerk Song Jiang and the two chief constables Zhu Tong and Lei Heng, Chao Gai gets away with Wu Yong, Gongsun Sheng and Liu Tang. They take refuge in the house of the Ruan brothers. There Wu Yong sets a plan that lures the constables who come for them into the marsh. Unfamiliar with the place, the pursuers are mown down by the robbers. The group then seek refuge in Liangshan Marsh.

Wang Lun, the leader of Liangshan, is unwilling to accept the group, fearing they would usurp his position. Sensing that Lin Chong, who has joined Liangshan earlier but has been cold-shouldered, resents Wang, Wu Yong instigates him to kill the leader. Chao Gai is then elected the new chief of Liangshan, with Wu Yong taking second position. Then, Wu deploys the men of Liangshan in a battle that wipes out the soldiers sent from Jizhou to eliminate them.

All his time at Liangshan Wu Yong is the band's chief strategist. He uses his wiles to force several heroes prized by Liangshan, such as Lu Junyi, Xu Ning and Zhu Tong, to join the stronghold. His astuteness helps Liangshan clinch victory in many military conflicts.

Death
Wu Yong and Gongsun Sheng are appointed as Liangshan's top strategists after the 108 Stars of Destiny came together in what is called the Grand Assembly, but Wu apparently enjoys higher standing.

Wu Yong assists Song to become Liangshan's chief after Chao Gai died, although Chao's last word is that his successor is whoever captures the person who killed him. Lu Junyi seizes Shi Wengong, the killer of Chao, but he faces widespread opposition apparently engineered by Wu. In the end Lu takes second position after Song.

Wu Yong is sceptical about Song Jiang's quest for imperial amnesty, but he casts his lot with him nevertheless. Without his support, Song could not have sold the idea to the rest. Following amnesty from Emperor Huizong, the Liangshan outlaws are sent to beat back invaders of the Liao Empire and put down rebel forces in Song territory. Wu Yong's resourcefulness helps Liangshan win many battles.

Wu Yong is one of the few Liangshan heroes who survive the campaigns. He is awarded an appointment at a prefecture for his contributions. One night, Song Jiang and Li Kui appear in his dream, telling him that they have been poisoned by corrupt officials in the imperial court. Wu Yong travels to Song's grave in Chuzhou (楚州; present-day Huai'an, Jiangsu), where he meets Hua Rong, who has had a similar dream. Overcome with grief, they hang themselves from a tree near the grave.

Recent Modification
The information in this article is pretty outdated and without references, so it could be considered original research. Am beginning with putting together a list of good references I can find, and will then try to clean up this article. wildT (talk) 18:58, 19 May 2011 (UTC)

Old 2005 comment
First, i was surprised that the project was started when congress party was in power. For some reasons, i was under impression that current party was more transparent (Well, i am aware transparent government is an oxymoron} than the previous party, but it looks like i should ease of on my crack intake.

Anyway, i came across the company's name from Joseph Stiglitz "The Roaring Nineties" and here is an interesting quote from the book.

 * ...Enron became a symbol of everything wrong with globalization. Nothing tells the story better than its investment in Dabhol located in the state of Maharashtra, India. While the whole transaction was tainted by political influence, it is the economics of the deal that concern me here. The World Bank, though it was hardly Enron unfriendly, having provided over $700 million to various Enron projects, strongly criticized the project as costing too much, concluding that it was not economically viable. There was one way it could be made economically viable, for Enron but not for India - which was to guarantee Enron high electricity prices. Of course, high electricity prices would mean that India, struggling to compete on global markets, would be put at an even greater disadvantage.

Enron received a so called "take or pay" contract that left Enron taking the profit and India paying the price and bearing the risk. It was the kind of private/public partinership that the private sector finds so profitable thoughout the developing world.

....One might have thought that given that so much of the risk was being borne by India, the return would be relatively low, not so: the contract provisions were designed to yield Enron a before-tax return of 25%. The price that were set stunned outside observers. Before Enron was forced to back down in 1995, it proposed a tariff of 7-14 percent per kilowatt hour. Even afterwards when the price was reduced by some 25% - Enron was still able to earn a return that exceeded the normal level allowed by Indian law. (Note the company was selling electricity at twice the price of its local competitors.

Given Enron low risk, subsidies from US government provided by America's Export-Import Bank, why did the India government sign the contract when it could get electricity at a better rate elsewhere? Part of the answer was: US put political pressure. Enron officials joined a cabinet trip to India, and direct pressure was put on India by the American ambassador. Though Enron contined to maintain it abide by Foreign Corrupt Practice Act, those in India remain unconvinced.

When riots broke out, the police acted abusively, according to later reports by Human Rights Watch. Whether justified or not, Enron was blamed, further intensifying the antagonism. When India threated to cancel or alter the deal, the full pressure of US administration was brought to bear, both during the Bush and Clinton administration. During Bush administration, the phone call allegedly came from Dick Cheney; during Clinton, only somewhat short of that level...... gathima 01:22, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Gaspare Campari

Gaspare Campari (12 March 1828 – 14 April 1882) was an Italian drinks manufacturer.

Born in Cassolnovo, Italy, the tenth child of a farmer he was making drinks at the Bass Bar in Castelnouvo by age 14.

During the 1840s Campari sold a bitters-style aperitif throughout Italy, initially under the name Bitter all'Uso d'Holanda. In 1860 he formulated the product today known as Campari. His recipe, which Campari keeps confidential, contained more than 60 natural ingredients including herbs, spices, barks and fruit peels.

In 1862 he remarried and settled in Milan, the home of his second wife. He ran a cafe in front of Milan's historic cathedral, the Duomo. He also opened up Cafe Campari nearby. His two sons, Davide and Guido, would go on to take over the business, which would become Davide Campari-Milano N.V. and Gruppo Campari.

Emote

An emote is an entry in a text-based chat client that indicates an action taking place. Unlike emoticons, they are not text art, and instead describe the action using words or images (similar to emoji).

Emotes were created by Shigetaka Kurita in Japan, whose original idea was to create a way of communication using pictures. Kurita would draw pictures of himself for inspiration for the emotes he created.

Nowadays emotes are a language of their own; emotes have progressed far past their original counterparts in 1999.

Overview
In most IRC chat clients, entering the command " " will print the user's name followed by whatever text follows. For example, if a user named Joe typed " ", the client will print this as " Joe jumps with joy " in the chat window.

 Allow me to demonstrate... * Joe jumps with joy again.

In chat media that do not support the " " command, it is conventional to read text surrounded by asterisks as if it were emoted. For example, reading " Joe: *jumps with joy* " in a chat log would suggest that the user had intended the words to be performed rather than spoken.

In MMORPGs with visible avatars, such as EverQuest, Asheron's Call, Second Life and World of Warcraft, certain commands entered through the chat interface will print a predefined /me emote to the chat window and cause the character to animate, and in some cases produce sound effects. For example, entering " " into World of Warcraft's chat interface will play an animation on the user's avatar and print " You are hopelessly confused. " in the chat window.

Emotes are used primarily online in video games and, more recently, on smartphones. Image-based emotes are frequently used in the chat feature of the streaming service Twitch. Twitch also allows users to upload animated emotes encoded with the GIF format.

Auxiliary feedwater

Auxiliary feedwater is a backup water supply system found in pressurized water reactor nuclear power plants (PWRs). This system, sometimes known as emergency feedwater, can be used to cool the reactor, if normal feedwater to the steam generators fails to work. It works by pumping water to the steam generators from reserve tanks or a larger body of water (e.g. lake, river, or ocean) to remove decay heat from the reactor by dumping non-radioactive steam to atmosphere or using this steam to drive turbine driven auxiliary feedwater pump(s). The auxiliary feedwater system in PWRs are often equipped with motor driven aux feedwater pumps, and, as an additional measure, turbine driven aux feedwater pump that is driven not by electricity but by steam generated by decay heat removal from the normal secondary side steam circuit of the plant. The typical steam turbine used in the aux feedwater systems are the “solid wheel” or “water wheel” Terry Steam Turbines manufactured by the Curtiss-Wright Corporation in Summerville, SC.

In contrast to emergency core cooling systems for loss-of-coolant accidents, the auxiliary feedwater system does not inject directly into the reactor core. Instead, it cools in an indirect manner by cooling the primary circuit with the reactor via the steam generators.

Church of Bangladesh

The Church of Bangladesh (চার্চ অব বাংলাদেশ) is a united Protestant church formed by the union of various Protestant churches in Bangladesh, principally the Anglican and Presbyterian denominations. The Church of Bangladesh is a member of the Anglican Communion and the World Communion of Reformed Churches.

The history of the plantation of this united Protestant church is quite old. Presbyterianism and Anglicanism in Bengal became established from the time of British rule in colonial India; since the Anglican Church in England is called the Church of England, the Anglican Church in undivided India was known as the Church of India, Burma and Ceylon, which eventually became the Church of North India, Church of South India and Church of Pakistan; after the independence of Bangladesh from Pakistan, the Church of Bangladesh emerged from the Church of Pakistan.

The Church of Bangladesh currently has three dioceses – Dhaka Diocese (Archbishop Samuel Sunil Mankhin), Kushtia Diocese (Bishop Hemen Halder), and Barisal Diocese (Bishop Shourabh Pholia). There are a total of 8 deaneries and 115 parishes under the three dioceses. The population is about 22,000. Membership is diverse, including many different cultures. About half of the total members are from the Garo, Santal, Marma and Chakma ethnic groups of Bangladesh.

History
The Church of Bangladesh came into being as the outcome of the separation of East Bengal province from Pakistan. This started as a movement which focused on language and took shape through the liberation war in 1971, which created an independent Bangladesh. The Synod of the Church of Pakistan on 30 April 1974 declared and endorsed a free and independent status for the Church of Bangladesh. The Church of Bangladesh brings together the Anglican and English Presbyterian Churches.

Following the creation of the Church of Bangladesh, efforts were made to increase local leadership. B. D. Mondal was consecrated as the first national bishop of Dhaka Diocese in 1975. He tried to follow the path of Bishop Blair, by encouraging the active participation of lay leaders from all sections of the church congregations. After the creation of the synod, B. D. Mondal became the first moderator of the Church of Bangladesh and Michael S. Baroi the deputy moderator. At the time of B. D. Mondal's retirement, a new bishop was elected, and Paul Sarker, in January 2003, became the third national bishop of the Church of Bangladesh. Although the title is not employed in this United Protestant denomination, since the acknowledgement of the bishop of Dhaka as a primate within the Anglican Communion, he has been entitled to the usual archepiscopal prefix "the Most Reverend". The current Primate and Archbishop of Church of Bangladesh is Samuel Mankhin, enthroned on 5 December 2018.

Book of Common Prayer

The Book of Common Prayer produced by the Church of Bangladesh, translated literally as "prayer book" (প্রার্থনা বই) was approved by synod in 1997. The book contains prayers translated from the traditional Book of Common Prayer as well as those from the Church of North India and the CWM's Prayer Letter, along with original compositions by the Church of Bangladesh.

Dioceses
There are three dioceses in the Church of Bangladesh:

Church of Bangladesh Diocese of Dhaka
Erected in 1956 by dividing the Diocese of Calcutta, the diocese (originally called "East Bengal") covered all East Pakistan. It was in the Church of India, Pakistan, Burma and Ceylon until the 1970 union of the Church of Pakistan. It became the sole diocese of the Church of Bangladesh upon the church's 30 April 1974 independence. Since it was split to create Kushtia diocese, the Moderator of the Synod has usually also been Archbishop of Dhaka of Church of Bangladesh.
 * 1956–1975: James D. Blair (assistant bishop of Calcutta (for East Bengal), 1951–1956)
 * 1975–2003: Barnabas Dejen Mondal (consecrated 16 February 1975, Oxford Mission Church)
 * 2003–2009: Michael S. Baroi (installed 24 January 2003)
 * 2009 – 18 February 2019 (ret.): Paul Shishir Sarker (Moderator 2009 – 19 November 2018)
 * 2019–present: Samuel Sunil Mankhin (Moderator 2018 – present)

Church of Bangladesh Diocese of Kushtia
Founded from Dhaka diocese in 1990; the Bishop in Kushtia was ex officio deputy moderator until 2018, when the new bishop in Barisal became deputy moderator (as the second most senior bishop by consecration).
 * Michael S. Baroi (consecrated 30 November 1990, St Peter's Ratanpur)
 * Paul Shishir Sarkar (consecrated 5 January 2003, Oxford Mission Church)
 * ?–2019: Samuel Sunil Mankhin (consecrated 8 November 2009, St Mary's Haluaghat; Moderator since 19 November 2018)
 * 2019–present: Hemen Halder (consecrated 27 January 2019)

Church of Bangladesh Diocese of Barisal
Formed in 2017 from Dhaka diocese.
 * 2017–present: Shourabh Pholia (elected 24 February; consecrated 30 April, at Christ the King Khalishpur; installed 18 June; Deputy Moderator since 19 November 2018)

Anglican realignment
The Church of Bangladesh is a member of the Global South. Former Moderator Paul Sarker attended an Anglican Church in North America meeting on 13–15 May 2017, at Holy Cross Cathedral, in Loganville, Georgia. He and Archbishop Foley Beach, of the ACNA, signed "A Joint Statement on Communion from the Primate of Bangladesh and the Primate of the Anglican Church", to affirm and celebrate the communion between both churches. It was also discussed how both provinces could work together with mission partnerships. The Church of Bangladesh was the first united province of the Anglican Communion to declare full communion with the ACNA.

The Church of Bangladesh was not represented at GAFCON III, on 17–22 June 2018, because it took place in Jerusalem, but Samuel Sunil Mankhin attended G19, the additional conference that took place in Dubai, on 25 February – 1 March 2019.

Talk:Nomen nudum

A note
The speedy deletion/patent nonsense occurs maybe because this entry term contains a suspect word. Please re-consider. It is a valid biological nomaenclature concept.

The Name of the Rose
The Name of the Rose ends with Stat rosa pristina nomine, nomina nuda tenemus. --Error 00:27, 4 September 2005 (UTC)

 * "The ancient rose remains (only) in its name, naked names (are all) we hold on to". Eco's postscript to the novel says:
 * Since the publication of The Name of the Rose I have received a number of letters from readers who want to know the meaning of the final Latin hexameter, and why this hexameter inspired the book's title. I answer that the verse is from De contemptu mundi by Bernard of Morlay, a twelfth-century Benedictine, whose poem is a variation on the "ubi sunt" theme (most familiar in Villon's later "Mais ou sont les neiges d'antan"). But to the usual topos (the great of yesteryear, the once-famous cities, the lovely princesses: everything disappears into the void), Bernard adds that all these departed things leave (only, or at least) pure names behind them. I remember that Abelard used the example of the sentence "Nulla rosa est" to demonstrate how language can speak of both the nonexistent and the destroyed. And having said this, I leave the reader to arrive at his own conclusions.
 * Gdr 17:49:27, 2005-09-05 (UTC)

Cleanup
Originally, in Sept 2005, I just assured that it was clear that this did not apply to botany and left it as it was. In view of the recent attempt to connect this again with botany (apparently stemming from a mission to present a unified and simplified picture of taxonomy for all organisms, and thus to deny the distinction between botany and zoology; between taxonomy and nomenclature; between botanical nomenclature and zoological nomenclature, etc), I did look up the relevant provisions in the zoological Code. Thus, the deletion of everything that was counter to the ICZN, substituting the official definition. Brya 20:27, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
 * When a term is used in both zoological and botanical nomenclature, appears in both nomenclatural codes, and is identical in spelling and essentially so in meaning under both, I'm afraid I just don't see the problem with including information relating to both in one article. MrDarwin 13:35, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

< > - TeunSpaans 18:45, 30 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Brya, could you please point out where you see the differences? Perhaps that could be of any help in solving this dispute? TeunSpaans 19:02, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

Example
Although I don't expect anybody to care, in this atmosphere of war for its own sake, I would like to point out that the fact I left the example does not mean that I approve of it. As Linnaeus devoted better than half a page to a description of Pan troglodytes I don't see how this can be a nomen nudum. However, I left this in, as I do not feel inclined to do much on zoological nomenclature, beyond the basics. Certainly this article is not up to the standards of botanical nomenclature. Brya 15:40, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

 * Given the persistence on including botany in this article I changed my mind about this example. On further reflection it appears as untenable under the ICZN as under the ICBN. Brya 17:25, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

Styganthropus piltdowni?
What about the entertainment sector of role playing games, that for fun creates terms like: Dendro sapiens (elfs), Styganthropus piltdowni (orcs or trolls)? Said: Rursus ☻ 06:17, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

'nomen nudem'
I see 'nomen nudem' used often by scientists in discussions of taxonomy where they mean nomen nudum. It makes no sense as Latin. I want to presume it is a mistake, but so many people use it, I wonder if it has some real origin or legitimacy. Is it an acceptable form among scientists now?Richardson mcphillips1 (talk) 16:29, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

Significance of the 1930-1931 transition?
Is it just a simple clarification of phrasing, with no real significance, or was something in fact changed in the definition of a nomen nudum after 1930? I have trouble parsing any significant change in the definitions, though I am not a taxonomist, so it is possible I am missing some subtlety. -- Cimon Avaro; on a pogostick. (talk) 02:58, 26 January 2009 (UTC)
 * It looks like wordsmithing to me. The only functional difference I can think of would be stating "states in words" as opposed to leaving that unsaid; in the 1930s, R. S. Lull managed to get one name for a duckbilled dinosaur suppressed for another, even though the event that supposedly established priority was the publication of the "earlier" name in a caption to a photo in a book in 1922.  Couldn't tell you why he bothered. J. Spencer (talk) 03:49, 26 January 2009 (UTC)

can't re-use n.n. in zoology... and in botany...?
I deleted the paragraph about re-use of a nom nudum; based on the info in this same article, a n.n. CANNOT be used in zoology; not sure about botany, either; this needs to be checked by someone more familiar with the Codes than am I. philiptdotcom (talk) 21:31, 30 September 2017 (UTC)

Minnesota Constitution

The Constitution of the State of Minnesota was initially approved by the residents of Minnesota Territory in a special election held on October 13, 1857, and was ratified by the United States Senate on May 11, 1858, marking the admittance of Minnesota to the Union. Nearly 120 amendments have been approved (often multiple items at once), with perhaps the most significant being a reorganization in 1974 to simplify the document, making it easier for modern readers to comprehend and reducing the extensive verbiage. It is believed that the constitution was amended twice prior to ratification.

European Settlement
Minnesota's settlement and organization were influenced by three factors: force, as it was conquered by European powers and later the United States; accident, as some European settlers arrived following the fur trade and American civilians drifted into the territory seeking opportunities; and choice, as the American settlers in the territory decided to establish a civil society.

The Stillwater Convention
In 1838, the region that is now Minnesota was divided between the Iowa and Wisconsin territories. The part of Minnesota west of the Mississippi River within the Iowa Territory remained unoccupied by European Americans. It, therefore, did not require a civil government for the next eight years. When Iowa became a state in 1846, Minnesota became an unorganized territory without issue. The area east of the Mississippi River had several hundred American settlers and was organized as St. Croix County within Wisconsin Territory. However, in 1848, Wisconsin became a state, and St. Croix County was left to its own devices. In response, the settlers in the area held a convention in Stillwater and passed resolutions calling for Congress to establish a new territory named Minnesota. An election was held to choose a new territorial delegate to Congress, and Henry Hastings Sibley was elected. This marked the beginning of Minnesota as a territory. Congress responded to this request by passing the Organic Act of Minnesota, which established the territory and provided for its government. This act remains one of the constitutional documents of the state.

The Organic Act
The Organic Act served as the constitution for the Minnesota Territory from June 1849 until May 1858, when Minnesota became a state. The boundaries of the Minnesota Territory included the eastern half of the Dakotas to the Missouri River, but this area was subsequently detached when Minnesota became a state. The capital of the Minnesota Territory was St. Paul, which became the permanent state capital after an unsuccessful attempt was made in 1857 to move the capital to St. Peter. The Minnesota Territory was governed by an appointed governor and secretary and had an appointed judicial system. It also had a legislative assembly consisting of a nine-member council and an eighteen-member house of representatives, which the territory's residents elected. The Minnesota Historical Society was also established in the territory in 1849 and is now the oldest state institution in Minnesota.

The Organic Act of Minnesota established the territory and provided for its government, including creating a legislative assembly and a judicial system. Local governments were also established, with the right to appoint or elect officers as determined by the territorial governor and legislative assembly. The act also defined the qualifications for voting, which were restricted to free white males who were citizens or had declared their intention to become citizens. The legislative assembly had the power to pass legislation on any subject consistent with the Constitution of the United States, and both the territorial governor and Congress had the right to veto acts of the assembly. The governor's veto could be overridden by a two-thirds vote of the assembly, while Congress's veto was final. The act also placed a limitation on the legislative assembly's ability to pass laws concerning the disposal of public land. It imposed higher taxes on non-residents' property compared to residents' property. It reserved sections 16 and 36 in every township for the establishment of a universal education system in the future state. Voting was restricted to white male citizens or those who had declared their intention to become citizens. The act granted veto power to both the territorial governor and Congress, with the governor's veto able to be overridden by a two-thirds vote of the assembly. In contrast, Congress's veto could not be overridden.

Population Growth
The establishment of the territorial government of Minnesota in 1849 greatly encouraged the growth and development of the state. The population increased from around 4,000 non-natives in 1849 to 150,000 in 1857, on the eve of statehood. This growth was facilitated by the territorial government's efforts to extinguish Native American land claims and enable settlers to acquire titles to their lands. About three-quarters of the state was opened to non-Indian settlement between establishing the territorial government and achieving statehood.

The Enabling Act
The Enabling Act was a piece of legislation passed by Congress in 1857 that enabled the people of Minnesota to form a state by holding an election for a constitutional convention, writing a constitution, approving it through a referendum, and submitting it to Congress for admission to the Union. The Enabling Act also established the basic system of federal land grants to the states for common schools, a state university, public buildings, and salt springs, and provided that 5 percent of the proceeds of the sale of federal public lands in Minnesota be granted to the state for building public roads. It also set Minnesota's final borders and provided for concurrent jurisdiction on the Mississippi and other rivers and waters bordering the state, declaring that they should be "common highways and forever free."

During the constitutional convention held in St. Paul in July 1857, tensions between Democratic and Republican delegates were high and the two groups ended up writing separate versions of the constitution. However, the two documents were almost identical, with minor differences in spelling, grammar, and style. The two versions were then submitted to the voters of the state as required by the Enabling Act and both were approved, resulting in Minnesota having two original constitutions. The state's constitution has served for almost 160 years and has not undergone significant revision, although there have been periodic proposals for a constitutional convention.

Creation and Ratification
An election in Minnesota Territory to select Republican and Democratic delegates to a state constitutional convention was held on June 1, 1857, following passage of an enabling act by the U.S. Congress on February 26 of that year ("The Enabling Act for a State of Minnesota"). The Republican version, as drafted by William Winthrop, a Yale Law graduate, abolitionist, future Civil War officer, and leading scholar of military law, called for universal male suffrage. The convention was held in Saint Paul from July 13 to August 29. However, the divisions between the two political parties were so great that they each held their own separate conventions and never met together aside from five people from each party who met in a conference committee to create a document acceptable to both sides. Still, the tension was so extreme that delegates would not sign anything that had previously been signed by a member of the complementary convention.

In the end, each convention signed their own copies of the document. The two were essentially identical, but had about 300 differences in punctuation, grammar, and wording because of errors in transcription produced as copyists worked late into the night on August 28. The Republican version, written on white paper, ran 39 pages and was signed by 53 delegates, while the Democratic version, written on blue-tinged paper, was 37 pages long and had 51 signatures.

On October 13, an election to approve the constitution was held. Ballots only provided for an affirmative answer, which probably reduced the number of negative votes since doing so required altering the ballot. The tally was 30,055 for acceptance and 571 for rejection.

The territorial secretary, a Democrat, sent a certified copy of the Democratic version to Washington, D.C. to be ratified by the Senate. A copy of the Republican version was also sent by an unknown party, and there is good historical evidence to show that both versions were available to Congress members. Additionally, the Republican version was sent with the bill returned to Minnesota.

The Minnesota State Legislature began to convene before the constitution was ratified, although officials elected to other positions such as governor did not begin acting in their official roles until later. The first two acts created by the legislature were amendments to the constitution, and they were approved by voters on April 15, 1858. One authorized a loan to railroads of US$5 million, and the other related to the term of office of the first state officers. Amended constitutions were apparently the ones viewed by Congress during the ratification process. The validity of the early laws passed by the Legislature is somewhat in doubt, although they have never been challenged in court.

1974 Alteration
In 1971, the legislature created a commission to study the constitution and make recommendations to maintain its utility. After reviewing the document for two years, it was recommended that the constitution be amended to rewrite it in modern language and allow easier reference. The amendment was approved by voters on November 5, 1974. This did not alter the meaning of the constitution, although if there is a case where meaning is ambiguous, the original document remains the final authority.

The earlier wording of the constitution, including all of the amendments approved since adoption in 1857, is printed in the Minnesota Legislative Manual 1973–74, pages 445–484.

Bill of rights
A bill of rights is featured prominently in the constitution as Article I. There are seventeen sections, including many that echo the amendments to the United States Constitution by subject, but not necessarily by language. The Minnesota Supreme Court, which has final authority over how the Bill of Rights is interpreted, has given conflicting signals about when the state Bill of Rights should be interpreted differently from the federal one.

For example, Section 3 states that "the liberty of the press shall forever remain inviolate, and all persons may freely speak, write and publish their sentiments on all subjects, being responsible for the abuse of such right." The First Amendment to the United States Constitution, by contrast, states that "Congress shall make no law ... abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press." Despite the affirmative protections of Section 3, the Minnesota Supreme Court has followed the majority position of most states, rejected the position of the Supreme Court of California in the landmark case of Robins v. Pruneyard Shopping Center, and stubbornly refused to interpret such language any differently from the First Amendment. The court's most recent case on this issue was State v. Wicklund, in 1999, which involved a failed attempt by fur-coat protesters to demonstrate at the privately owned but publicly financed Mall of America.

By contrast, Section 16 addresses the "freedom of conscience," or more generally freedom of religion. In the 1990 case of State v. Hershberger, which involved the Amish's successful attempt to be declared exempt from a state traffic law, the Minnesota Supreme Court affirmed more expansive protections for Minnesotans than the First Amendment's Free Exercise Clause provides.

Although the text of Section 10 is exactly the same as the Fourth Amendment to the United States Constitution, the Minnesota Supreme Court has frequently interpreted it differently, so as to provide more expansive protections for persons subject to criminal prosecution under state law. For example, in the 2003 case of State v. Carter, the court held that a police dog's "sniff" of a rented storage locker is a "search" under the state Bill of Rights even though it is not a search under the federal Bill of Rights. In the 1994 case of Ascher v. Commissioner of Public Safety, the court held that DWI sobriety checkpoints, while constitutional under the Fourth Amendment, were unconstitutional under Article 1, Section 10.

Some of the other provisions in the Minnesota Bill of Rights are for trial by jury and due process of law.

The Legislature
Amongst other rules, the state legislature may not meet in regular session "after the first Monday following the third Saturday in May of any year." The governor may call a special session following that date to handle unresolved issues from the regular session or to deal with unforeseen events such as emergency funding following natural disasters.

Minnesota's fiscal year runs from July 1 to June 30, so if a biennial budget isn't passed by the end of June in an odd-numbered year, the effect is a government shutdown, as happened in 2005 and again in 2011.

Similar to the Tennessee State Constitution, bills brought before the legislature may deal with only one subject.

Transportation
Article XIV of the constitution is dedicated to discussing the public highway system of the state and the methods of funding. It authorizes a trunk highway system overseen by the state and methods of funding roadways overseen by smaller political divisions within Minnesota. Sections 4 and 5 in Article X also describe the taxation of fuel and vehicles used in relation to airborne transportation, including aircraft and supplemental vehicles.

In 1920, the Babcock Amendment authorized 70 "constitutional route" (CR) highways cris-crossing the state. Until the 1974 modification of the constitution (see section below), these were enumerated in the document itself, though today they are listed in the Minnesota Statutes (§161.114). Still, the general routes cannot be altered or removed without amending the constitution and are therefore somewhat fixed. In many cases, the constitutional route numbers do not match highway numbers. In fact, it has been common for CR highways to be composed of several different trunk highways. When the U.S. Highway system was created in 1926, many of these roads were made up of one or more U.S. highways. Today, they now use a mix of Minnesota state highways, U.S. highways, and Interstate highways.

There is some ambiguity in how literally the Minnesota Department of Transportation must interpret the constitutional routes. In some cases, the routes no longer directly serve communities they were once designated for, but are routed along nearby interstates instead.

The strong support given to automobile and aircraft transportation is often criticized by advocates of public transportation (buses, light rail, etc.), which they believe is inappropriately funded. While highways have a consistent source of money, Metro Transit has had to frequently petition the legislature for funding.

Style
Minnesota's constitution is characterized by a combination of the commonwealth pattern, which emphasizes the philosophical nature of the constitution, and the frame-of-government pattern, which focuses on the structure of state government and the distribution of powers within the state. This is typical of western states in the United States. The Minnesota Constitution is relatively short, ranking among the shorter constitutions in the country. Still, it includes explicit provisions for the powers and duties of state officers, schools, taxes, banking, highways, and legislative apportionment, as well as extensive sections on natural resource conservation and progressive social policy

California State Route 130

State Route 130 (SR 130) is a state highway in Santa Clara County, California that connects San Jose with the Lick Observatory on Mount Hamilton. The highway follows Mount Hamilton Road, a narrow two-lane highway that goes through the Diablo Range. Legislatively, SR 130 extends east from Mount Hamilton to Patterson in Stanislaus County, forming a route between the Santa Clara and San Joaquin valleys, but the traversable route via San Antonio Valley Road and Del Puerto Canyon Road is maintained at the county level and has not yet been formally adopted by the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans).

Route description

The original official western terminus of SR 130 was at U.S. Route 101 (US 101) in San Jose. SR 130 then proceeded along Alum Rock Avenue, over a junction with Interstate 680 (I-680), and through San Jose's Alum Rock neighborhood. After the California Legislature relinquished segments of the highway in 2011, state control of SR 130 now officially begins at the eastern city limits of San Jose, although SR 130 signs may remain posted along US 101 and I-680.

After crossing San Jose's eastern border, SR 130 then heads east up into the mountains along Mount Hamilton Road, offering vistas of San Jose and the Santa Clara Valley, and traveling through some of the last remaining ranch and naturally wild land in Santa Clara County as well as Joseph D. Grant County Park. As SR 130 approaches the base of Mount Hamilton itself, the road narrows further and is barely capable of supporting two cars abreast. The narrow road begins a series of tight switchbacks that culminate on the summit of Mount Hamilton at the Lick Observatory. The observatory also serves as the existing route's eastern terminus at around 4,200 ft. (1,280 m) elevation. When snow falls on the higher elevations of the road, it is closed until crews can clear the snow and black ice. There is a small community in this area.

Although state maintenance of SR 130 ends at this point, the road continues east of the Lick Observatory as the county road San Antonio Valley Road. San Antonio Valley Road terminates at the intersection of Mines Road (to Livermore) and Del Puerto Canyon Road, which the latter eventually leads to Interstate 5 and Patterson. It consists of one to two lanes, and may be considered a part of SR 130 by the state in the future. The County of Santa Clara has posted SR 130 markers along the section it controls, but the route within Stanislaus County remains totally unsigned by either the state or the county there.

A portion of SR 130 in San Jose is part of the National Highway System, a network of highways that are considered essential to the country's economy, defense, and mobility by the Federal Highway Administration.

History
SR 130 did not exist as a state highway before 1964; however, the roads it travels had existed since Lick Observatory was built. Legislatively, SR 130 continues for 30 additional miles (48 km) east of Lick Observatory to State Route 33 in Patterson through the San Antonio Valley. East of the Lick Observatory, the road is maintained by the county rather than the state, and therefore this portion of the state highway remains technically unbuilt.

However, the County of Santa Clara has posted small SR 130 markers along the traversable route, including where San Antonio Canyon Road begins east of the Lick Observatory entrance, the intersection of San Antonio and Del Puerto Canyon Roads. and at the Stanislaus County line. Thus, Google Maps and other map services may acknowledge SR 130 existing east of the Mt. Hamilton summit all the way to SR 33 in Patterson.

Future
Money had been set aside by the state to study the feasibility of turning part of SR 130's legislative route from San Antonio Valley Road east to Interstate 5 into a freeway. This was intended to facilitate traffic between the Santa Clara Valley and the Central Valley; the former is experiencing population growth and real estate development. The project's main proponent was former United States Representative Richard Pombo, who was the House Resources Committee chair when in Congress and himself a member of a family with extensive Central Valley property holdings near the proposed freeway's path.

The proposed freeway's path west of San Antonio Valley Road would have bypassed Mount Hamilton either to the north toward State Route 237 or to the south toward San Jose's Evergreen district. The feasibility of the project came into question, however, as constructing a freeway over the Diablo Range near three of its highest peaks (Mount Hamilton included) would have been very difficult. The project also faced stiff opposition from taxpayers, environmentalists, residents of the area looking to preserve their area's local charm, and the Lick Observatory (A freeway through the mountains near the observatory would render it useless by light pollution). The freeway plan was quietly abandoned after Congressman Pombo failed in his reelection bid in 2006.

Mount Hamilton to Patterson
This junction list consists of the county-maintained, Mount Hamilton-to-Patterson route that has not yet been formally adopted by Caltrans. There are no postmiles maintained by the state.

Drosopigi, Laconia

Drosopigi (Δροσοπηγή) or "Tserova" (Greek: Τσεροβά) is a small village in Mani, Laconia, Greece. It is part of the municipal unit of Gytheio. Drosopigi lies on a mountain around 400 m above sea level. Drosopigi has historic towers and because of its stoned houses, it has been declared as a traditional settlement.

During World War II the Germans who were based at Gytheio bombarded the town with cannon fire.

Now Drosopigi has a population of around 50 people, based on the most recent demographic. In the summer, people move from cities around Greece to Drosopigi to vacate, spreading life to the village, but off-season Drosopigi is relatively empty.

Less than 8km of Drosopigi one of the nicest beaches of Laconia, Skoutari. Two guest houses and one traditional tavern operate in the village and the closest center for shopping, entertainment and night-life is Areopoli. The route Aeropoli - Drosopigi is served by bus three times a week.
