neg: California Water Wars The California Water Wars were a series of conflicts between the city of Los Angeles and farmers and ranchers in the Owens Valley of Eastern California .   As Los Angeles grew in the late 19th century , it started to outgrow its water supply . Fred Eaton , mayor of Los Angeles , realized that water could flow from Owens Valley to Los Angeles via an aqueduct . The aqueduct construction was overseen by William Mulholland and was finished in 1913 . The water rights were acquired through political fighting and , as described by one author , `` chicanery , subterfuge ... and a strategy of lies . ''   Since 1913 , the Owens River had been diverted to Los Angeles , causing the ruin of the valley 's economy . By the 1920s , so much water was diverted from the Owens Valley that agriculture became difficult . This led to the farmers trying to destroy the aqueduct in 1924 . Los Angeles prevailed and kept the water flowing . By 1926 , Owens Lake at the bottom of Owens Valley was completely dry due to water diversion .   The water needs of Los Angeles kept growing . In 1941 , Los Angeles diverted water that previously fed Mono Lake , north of Owens Valley , into the aqueduct . Mono Lake 's ecosystem for migrating birds was threatened by dropping water levels . Between 1979 and 1994 , David Gaines and the Mono Lake Committee engaged in litigation with Los Angeles . The litigation forced Los Angeles to stop diverting water from around Mono Lake , which has started to rise back to a level that can support its ecosystem .

neg: Angels Flight Angels Flight is a landmark narrow gauge funicular railway in the Bunker Hill district of Downtown Los Angeles , California . It has two funicular cars , Sinai and Olivet , running in opposite directions on a shared cable on the 298 ft long inclined railway .   The funicular has operated on two different sites , using the same cars and station elements . The original Angels Flight location , with tracks connecting Hill Street and Olive Street , operated from 1901 until it was closed in 1969 , when its site was cleared for redevelopment .   The second Angels Flight location opened one half block south of the original location in 1996 , with tracks connecting Hill Street and California Plaza . It was shut down in 2001 , following a fatal accident , and took nine years to commence operations again . The railroad restarted operations on March 15 , 2010 . It was closed again from June 10 , 2011 , to July 5 , 2011 , and then again after a minor incident on September 5 , 2013 . The investigation of this 2013 incident led to the discovery of potentially serious safety problems in both the design and the operation of the funicular . Before the 2013 service suspension , the cost of a one-way ride was 50 cents ( 25 cents for Metro pass holders ) . Angels Flight service has been suspended since that time . In March 2017 an announcement was made that the line would be reopened later in the year after safety enhancements are completed .   Although it was marketed primarily as a tourist novelty , it was frequently used by local workers to travel between the Downtown Historic Core and Bunker Hill . In 2015 , the executive director of the nearby REDCAT arts centre described the railroad as an important `` economic link '' , and there was pressure for the city to fund and re-open the railroad .

Official settlements in Alta California were of three types : presidio ( military ) , mission ( religious ) and pueblo ( civil ) . The Pueblo de los Ángeles was the second pueblo ( town ) created during the Spanish colonization of California ( the first was San Jose , in 1777 ) . El Pueblo de la Reina de los Ángeles -- ` The Town of the Queen of Angels ' was founded twelve years after the first presidio and mission , the Presidio of San Diego and the Mission San Diego de Alcalá ( 1769 ) . The original settlement consisted of forty-four people in eleven families , recruited mostly from Estado de Occidente . As new settlers arrived and soldiers retired to civilian life in Los Angeles , the town became the principal urban center of southern Alta California , whose social and economic life revolved around the raising of livestock on the expansive ranchos .

neg: City of Los Angeles (train) The City of Los Angeles was a streamlined passenger train between Chicago , Illinois , and Los Angeles , California via Omaha , Nebraska , and Ogden , Utah . Between Omaha and Los Angeles it ran on the Union Pacific Railroad ; east of Omaha it ran on the Chicago and North Western Railway until October 1955 and on the Milwaukee Road thereafter . The train had number 103 westbound and number 104 eastbound .   This train was the top-of-the-line for UP , which marketed it as a competitor to the Super Chief , a streamlined passenger train on the Atchison , Topeka and Santa Fe Railway , and the Golden State , a streamlined passenger train jointly operated by the Rock Island and Southern Pacific railroads . Many of the train 's cars bore the names of locales in and around its namesake city .   CNW / UP used one of two three-unit sets of EMC E2 locomotives as motive power beginning in 1937 . The UP scored a public relations coup in the mid-1950s when the City of Los Angeles was featured in two episodes of the popular television series I Love Lucy . In 1955 the Milwaukee Road assumed the service , replacing the Chicago and North Western between Chicago and Omaha . Actor Ronald Reagan often traveled on this train and even did a full page print ad for it that appeared in the National Geographic magazine . In a cost-cutting move , the City of Los Angeles was combined with the City of San Francisco in 1960 .

neg: List of city nicknames in California This partial list of city nicknames in California compiles the aliases , sobriquets , mottos and slogans that cities in California are known by ( or have been known by historically ) , officially and unofficially , to locals , outsiders or their tourism boards or chambers of commerce . City nicknames can help in establishing a civic identity , helping outsiders recognize a community or attracting people to a community because of its nickname ; promote civic pride ; and build community unity . Nicknames and slogans that successfully create a new community `` ideology or myth '' are also believed to have economic value . Their economic value is difficult to measure , but there are anecdotal reports of cities that have achieved substantial economic benefits by `` branding '' themselves by adopting new slogans .   Some unofficial nicknames are positive , while others are derisive . The unofficial nicknames listed here have been in use for a long time or have gained wide currency .

neg: Chinese enclaves in the San Gabriel Valley Chinese communities form a substantial portion of the population of the San Gabriel Valley . The region has achieved international prominence as a hub of overseas Chinese or hua qiao . Although Chinese immigrants were a noteworthy presence in the establishment of Southern California from the 19th century , significant Chinese migration to suburban San Gabriel Valley coincided with a trend of white out-migration from the 1970s onward . This opened an opportunity for well-educated and affluent Asian Americans to begin settling in the west San Gabriel Valley , primarily to Monterey Park .   High property values and overcrowding in Monterey Park have contributed to a secondary movement away from that city , and the Chinese community is now spread over a cluster of cities in the west San Gabriel Valley . Suburban cities in the valley with large non-white populations , also called ethnoburbs , include Alhambra , Arcadia , Rosemead , San Marino , San Gabriel , South Pasadena , and Temple City and then eastward to Diamond Bar , Hacienda Heights , Rowland Heights , and Walnut . Numerous Mandarin - and Cantonese-speaking businesses have been established in these suburbs to accommodate the changing population .

neg: Book of the Later Han The Hou Hanshu , or Book of the Later Han , also known as History of the Later Han , is a Chinese court document covering the history of the Han dynasty from 6 to 189 CE . It was compiled by Fan Ye and others in the 5th century during the Liu Song dynasty , using a number of earlier histories and documents as sources .   The book is part of four early historiographies of the Twenty-Four Histories canon , together with the Records of the Grand Historian , Book of Han and Records of the Three Kingdoms . Fan Ye used earlier histories , including accounts by Sima Qian and Ban Gu , along with many others ( some had similar names , such as the Han Records of the Eastern Lodge by various contemporaries throughout the 2nd century , and the Records of Later Han by Yuan Hong from the 4th century ) , most of which did not survive intact .   The section on the Treatise on the Western Regions was based on a report composed by Ban Yong ( with a few later additions ) and presented to Emperor An of Han in around 125 . It presumably includes notes from his father Ban Chao . It forms the 88th chapter ( or 118th chapter in some editions ) of the Book of the Later Han , and is a key source for the cultural and socio-economic data on the Western Regions , including the earliest accounts of Daqin ( the Roman Empire ) , and some of the most detailed early reports on India and Central Asia . It contains a few references to events occurring after the death of Emperor An , including a brief account of the arrival of the first official envoys from Rome in 166 .   Fan Ye , himself , clearly says that the new information contained in this section on the Western Regions , is largely based on information from the report of Ban Yong :   `` Ban Gu has recorded in detail the local conditions and customs of each kingdom in the former book -LSB- Book of Han or ` History of the Former Han Dynasty ' -RSB- . Now , the reports of the Jianwu period -LSB- 25-56 -RSB- onwards recorded in this ` Chapter on the Western Regions ' differ from the earlier -LSB- ones by Ban Gu -RSB- ; they are from Ban Yong 's report -LSB- presented -RSB- at the end of -LSB- the reign of -RSB- Emperor An -LSB- 107-125 -RSB- , and so on .

neg: Fukurokuju In Japan , Fukurokuju ( from Japanese fuku , `` happiness '' ; roku , `` wealth '' ; and ju , `` longevity '' ) is one of the Seven Lucky Gods in Japanese mythology . It has been theorized that he is a Japanese assimilation of the Chinese Three Star Gods ( Fulushou ) embodied in one deity . Most related in appearance to the Chinese star god Shou , he is the God of wisdom and longevity . According to some , before attaining divinity , he was a Chinese hermit of the Song Dynasty and a reincarnation of the Taoist god Xuanwu . It is said that during his human incarnation , he was a sennin ; a philosopher who could exist without eating food .   Fukurokuju probably originated from an old Chinese tale about a mythical Chinese Taoist hermit sage renowned for performing miracles in the Northern Song period ( 960 -- 1127 ) . In China , this hermit ( also known as Jurōjin ) was thought to embody the celestial powers of the south polar star . Fukurokuju was not always included in the earliest representations of the Seven in Japan . He was instead replaced by Kichijōten ( goddess of fortune , beauty , and merit ) . He is now , however , an established member of the Seven Lucky Gods .   He is sometimes confused with Jurōjin , another of the Several Gods of Fortune , who by some accounts is Fukurokuju 's grandson and by other accounts inhabits the same body as Fukurokuju .  As such , the two are often confused .   Usually portrayed as bald with long whiskers , he is said to be an incarnation of the Southern Polestar . In many depictions , Fukurokuju has an abnormally high forehead . The sacred book tied to his staff either contains the lifespan of every person on earth or a magical scripture . He is accompanied by a crane and a turtle , which are considered to be symbols of longevity . He is also sometimes accompanied by a black deer ( ancient legends say a deer turns black if it is over 2000 years old ) .   He is the only member of the Seven Lucky Gods credited with the ability to revive the dead .

neg: Prunus nipponica Prunus nipponica , also called , is a shrub which originates from the islands of Hokkaido and Honshu , Japan . It grows to a height of about 5 m and can grow in sandy , loamy , and clay soils .   This species is one of the hardiest of cherry trees , well-suited to cold climates . The flowers are a very light pink or even white in color . Flowers bloom in the first half of spring . They have 5 petals and are 3 cm in diameter . The pistils are usually longer than the stamen . The leaves are serrated and the bark is gray . In autumn the leaves turn yellow and orange-red ; these are rare autumnal colors for a cherry tree .   P. nipponica wood contains significant amounts of these flavonoids : d-catechin , naringenin , sakuranetin , eriodictyol , taxifolin , genistein , and prunetin . Being a member of the genus Prunus , P. nipponica would contain amygdalin and prunasin which form hydrocyanic acid when combined with water . This acid is poisonous but in very small doses it can improve respiration , digestion , and a sense of well-being . The fruit can be used as food and to make green dye .   This species was first reported by Japanese botanist Ninzo Matsumura in the Tokyo Botanical Magazine in 1901 . It is in the section Pseudocerasus of the cherry subgenus Cerasus of the Prunus genus , which are ornamental plants . Ma et al classified it in a group with Prunus incisa . P. nipponica is on the `` List of Protected Animals and Plants in the Wildlife Protection Zone '' of the wilderness Shirakami-Sanchi World Heritage Site .

neg: Seiun Award The is a Japanese speculative fiction award for the best science fiction works and achievements during the preceding year . Organized and overseen by , the awards were given each year at the annual Japan Science Fiction Convention . It is the oldest SF award in Japan , which was first given in 1970 at the 9th Japan Science Fiction Convention and has been awarded every year since that .   `` Seiun '' , the Japanese word for `` nebula '' , was named after the first and short-lived professional science fiction magazine in Japan , which appeared in 1954 . The award is not related to the American Nebula Award .   It is similar to the Hugo Award , which is presented by the members of the World Science Fiction Society , in that all of the members of the presenting convention are eligible to participate in the selection process . But it is not strictly correct to call it Japan 's `` equivalent '' to the Hugo Awards , as the Hugo Awards are open to works from anywhere in any language while the Seiun implicitly limited the area and the language like as the BSFA Awards .

neg: The Book of Balance and Harmony The Book of Balance and Harmony ( `` Zhong he ji '' 中和集 ) is a thirteenth-century Chinese anthology by the Taoist master Daochun Li which outlines the teachings and practices of the Quanzhen School ( `` Way of complete reality '' ) .   The Zhong he ji begins by affirming the theory of the Integration of the Three Doctrines ( `` Sanjiao Heyi '' , 三教合一 ) . This theory holds that Daoism , Confucianism and Buddhism evolved in different ways but are all based on the Absolute , or Supreme Ultimate ( `` Taiji '' , 太極 ) . Thus the opening lines of the book state :   The absolute is movement and stillness without beginning , yin and yang without beginning . Buddhists call this complete awareness , Taoists call it the gold pill , Confucians call it the absolute . What is called the infinite absolute means the limit of the unlimited . Buddha called it `` as is , immutable , ever clearly aware '' . The I Ching says , `` tranquil and unperturbed , yet sensitive and effective '' . An alchemical text says , `` Body and mind unstirring , subsequently there is yet an endless real potential '' . Yet all refer to the subtle root of the absolute .   Central to the book is the search for the `` gold pill '' ( `` Jindan '' , 金丹 ) , which produces spiritual transcendence and immortality . This practice is divided into Weidan ( outer medicine ) which deals with the physical body , and inner medicine ( `` Neidan '' , 內丹 ) , which includes various forms of mental practices and deals with the spirit .   The Book of Harmony also describes the experience of the `` Mysterious Pass '' ( `` Xuanguan '' , 玄關 ) and states that it has no fixed physical location . The Mysterious Pass is the central experience in which the Taoist practitioner achieves transcendence . The book then proceeds to outline a wide variety of practices and meditation techniques to achieve vitality , energy , and spirit - named the `` three treasures '' .   The book also includes a varied collection of Poems and Songs .

After Rujing 's death in 1228 , Jakuen immigrated to Japan in order to join his friend 's emerging Sōtō school , but did not receive dharma transmission from Dōgen directly , rather his disciple Koun Ejō .   Jakuen outlived Dōgen and became embroiled in the sandai sōron , a dispute over orthodoxy and succession . In 1261 he left Eihei-ji , leaving the other monks to resolve the power struggle amongst themselves , but allegedly taking with him many treasures of Eihei-ji entrusted to him by Dōgen . He arrived on a remote mountain in Fukui prefecture , where he became famous to the locals for his ascetic meditation on a mountainside without the benefit of any monastic community . During this time , according medieval legend , he gained the friendship of a cow and dog who would follow him into town during almsrounds . The rock that he sat on has also become a local landmark . Eventually he built a monastery called Hōkyō-ji in the style of Tiāntóng , which today owns the only surviving early treasures of Eihei-ji , and serves as a training center for Japanese and international Sōtō Zen Buddhists .   In medieval Japan Jakuen 's monastic community split into two separate lineages , one at Hōkyō-ji and one at Eihei-ji which was responsible for some of the corruption that went on there .   Today , there are communities of monks in both China and Japan who claim descent from Jakuen . His disciple Giun became abbot of Eihei-ji . In Japan , there is a temple in Tokyo named Jakuen-ji . Hōkyō-ji is officially in communion with the official Sōtō lineage through Keizan , but unofficially consider Jakuen their patriarch .

neg: Mr. Burns Charles Montgomery Burns , known as C. Montgomery Burns and Monty Burns , but usually referred to simply as Mr. Burns , is a recurring character in the animated television series The Simpsons , and is voiced by Harry Shearer . Burns is the evil owner of the Springfield Nuclear Power Plant and is also Homer Simpson 's boss . He is assisted at almost all times by Waylon Smithers , his loyal and sycophantic aide , adviser , confidant and secret admirer .   Although originally conceived as a one-dimensional , recurring villain who might occasionally enter the Simpsons ' lives and wreak some sort of havoc , Burns ' popularity has led to his repeated inclusion in episodes . He is a stereotype of corporate America in his unquenchable desire to increase his own wealth and power , inability to remember his employees ' names ( including Homer 's , despite frequent interactions -- which has become a recurrent joke ) and lack of concern for their safety and well-being . Reflecting his advanced age , Burns is given to expressing dated humor , making references to Jazz Age popular culture , and aspiring to apply obsolete technology to everyday life . Conan O'Brien has called Burns his favorite character to write for , due to his arbitrarily old age and extreme wealth .   Burns ' trademark expression is the word `` Excellent '' , muttered slowly in a low , sinister voice while steepling his fingertips . He occasionally orders Smithers to `` release the hounds '' , so as to let his vicious guard dogs attack any intruders , enemies or even invited guests . Burns is Springfield 's richest and most powerful citizen ( and also the richest person in Springfield 's state ; his current net worth has been given as $ 7.3 billion by Forbes , though it fluctuates wildly depending on the episode ) . He uses his power and wealth to do whatever he wants , usually without regard for consequences and without interference from the authorities . These qualities led Wizard Magazine to rate him the 45th greatest villain of all time . TV Guide named him # 2 in their 2013 list of The 60 Nastiest Villains of All Time . In 2016 , Rolling Stone ranked him # 8 of their `` 40 Greatest TV Villains of All Time '' .
