Basketball
Solar formerly held the rights to the National Basketball Association until September 30, 2019, when its contract with the league expired, shutting down cable channels Basketball TV and NBA Premium TV; the expiration of Solar's NBA contract ended ABS-CBN's free-to-air broadcast rights to air NBA games, which is also from them and also ended Fox Sports' coverage of the NBA.

NBA announced on July 27, 2020, that it has signed a multi-year partnership with Cignal TV and Smart Communications to bring NBA games and programming to fans in the Philippines through free-to-air, satellite television and over-the-top streaming. Starting July 31, to coincide with the 2019–20 NBA season restart, free-to-air channels TV5 and ONE Sports will broadcast live NBA games for the first time, including four games every week. Cignal TV, on the other hand, launched an NBA-dedicated channel via NBA TV Philippines, which broadcasts live NBA games 7 days a week (including Finals).

Ministry of Housing and Local Government v Sharp [1970] 2 QB 223, is an English tort law case concerning assumption of responsibility.

Facts
An employee of the authority failed to exercise reasonable skill and care in searching for entries in the local land charges register. The search certificate prepared by the clerk negligently failed to record a charge of £1,828 11s. 5d. in favour of the Ministry.

Judgment
Lord Denning MR held the local authority was liable to the Ministry for the employee's incompetence. At 268 he rejected that a duty of care only arose when there was a voluntary assumption of responsibility, rather "from the fact that the person making it knows, or ought to know, that others, being his neighbours in this regard, would act on the faith of the statement being accurate." Lord Denning MR's judgment ran on the law as follows.

János Kollár (born 7 June 1956) is a Hungarian mathematician, specializing in algebraic geometry.

Professional career
Kollár began his studies at the Eötvös University in Budapest and later received his PhD at Brandeis University in 1984 under the direction of Teruhisa Matsusaka with a thesis on canonical threefolds. He was Junior Fellow at Harvard University from 1984 to 1987 and professor at the University of Utah from 1987 until 1999. Currently, he is professor at Princeton University.

Contributions
Kollár is known for his contributions to the minimal model program for threefolds and hence the compactification of moduli of algebraic surfaces, for pioneering the notion of rational connectedness (i.e. extending the theory of rationally connected varieties for varieties over the complex field to varieties over local fields), and finding counterexamples to a conjecture of John Nash. (In 1952 Nash conjectured a converse to a famous theorem he proved, and Kollár was able to provide many 3-dimensional counterexamples from an important new structure theory for a class of 3-dimensional algebraic varieties.)

Kollár also gave the first algebraic proof of effective Nullstellensatz: let  be polynomials of degree at most  in  variables; if they have no common zero, then the equation  has a solution such that each polynomial  has degree at most .

Awards and honors
Kollár is a member of the National Academy of Sciences since 2005 and received the Cole Prize in 2006. He is an external member of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences since 1995. In 2012 he became a fellow of the American Mathematical Society. In 2016 he became a fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. In 2017 he received the Shaw Prize in Mathematical Sciences.

In 1990 he was an invited speaker at the International Congress of Mathematicians (ICM) in Kyōto. In 1996 he gave one of the plenary addresses at the European Mathematical Congress in Budapest (Low degree polynomial equations: arithmetic, geometry and topology). He was also selected as a plenary speaker at the ICM held in 2014 in Seoul.

As a high school student, Kollár represented Hungary and won Gold medals at both the 1973 and 1974 International Mathematical Olympiads.

Jefferson Gottardi (13 January 1976 — 4 September 2003) was a Bolivian footballer.

Career

Club
Born in Santa Cruz de la Sierra, Gottardi began his career in his native Bolivia, attending the prestigious Tahuichi Academy (which also produced Marco Etcheverry and Jaime Moreno), and playing for Oriente Petrolero and Bolívar in the Liga de Fútbol Profesional Boliviano.

He secured a loan move to the United States in 1999 to play for Tampa Bay Mutiny, and scored two goals on his MLS debut in a 5-2 loss to D.C. United, but never truly settled in Major League Soccer. He was waived by the team in August 1999, having played just 11 games, scoring 4 goals.

After leaving Tampa, Gottardi went on loan at Deportivo Táchira in Venezuela, and then moved to Goiás in Brazil, his final club.

International
Gottardi was a member of the Bolivia national team, having competed in the qualifying tournament for the 1996 Atlanta Olympics, and in qualifying for the Copa América 1999 in Paraguay. In the end he only earned one senior cap, a friendly match against the United States.

Personal life
His father, Toninho Gottardi, was a Brazilian who managed Oriente Petrolero.

Health problems and death
While playing for Goiás in the Campeonato Brasileiro Série A, Gottardi began to suffer from "unusual problems with his heart", and was forced to retire from competitive play. He travelled to Cuba for treatment, to which he initially responded well, but was eventually diagnosed with ALS in July 2002. He suffered a heart attack on September 4, 2003, and died at the Virgen de la Asunción hospital in La Paz. He was 27 and was survived by his Brazilian wife Veruschka Vanderley and their 4-year old daughter.

Yelagiri () is a hill station located in the newly formed Tirupattur district of Tamil Nadu, India, situated off the Vaniyambadi-Tirupattur road. Located at an altitude of 1,110.6 metres above Mean Sea Level and spread across 30 km2, the Yelagiri Hill (also spelled Elagiri Hill at times) is surrounded by orchards, rose-gardens, and green valleys. Yelagiri is a branch of Annamalai Hills.

History

Yelagiri or Elagiri is a small hill station located in between the towns of Vaniyambadi and Jolarpettai (Tamil Nadu, India). The hill station dates back to the British colonial days.

"The Whole of Yelagiri was once the private property of the Yelagiri Zamindar Family. It was taken over by the government of India during the Early 1950s. The house of the Yelagiri Zamindars still exists in Reddiyur."

British administered Elagiri (Neelagiri) or Swami Malai or Kolli Malai. During 1960's Yelagiri was refuge to people groups who were involved in Emergency Rule of India. Their near-dynasty was terminated after withdrawal of Emergency Rule. It was left uninhabited until French Missionary Fr. Francis Guezou (Salesian) first arrived who helped Jawadhu Hills people to inhabit the hills. Yelagiri is now over populated by India's corporatism, political ventures and local tourism, since 2007 onwards.

Location And Overview
The Yelagiri hill station is not as developed as other hill stations in Tamil Nadu like Ooty or Kodaikanal. However, the district administration has now taken up the task of developing Yelagiri Hills into a tourist destination by promoting adventure sports such as paragliding and rock climbing.

Yelagiri is one of the famous places for trekkers in India. The hill station is located at a height of 1410.6 meters above sea level.  Yelagiri comprises 14 hamlets and a number of temples spread over several hills.

The highest point in Yelagiri is the Swamimalai Hill, standing tall at 4,338 ft; Swamimalai is a destination and viewpoint for trekkers. The hill provides a number of trekking trails through thick reserved forests. Mangalam, a small village, is at the base of this hill. There are other trekking options that include smaller peaks like Javadi Hills and Palamathi Hills.

Yelagiri Hills is home to hundreds of snakes.

Climate
Yelagiri's climate is cool in the monsoon season. The daily weather is generally pleasant. In winter, there is much less rainfall than in summer. This climate is considered to be Aw according to the Köppen-Geiger climate classification.

People
Prehistoric Yelagiri is found to have modern settlement since 10,000 BC (post-ice age). After Roman presence until after European dark ages, human activities in Yelagiri Hills was evident before Moghul era. Spanish Pilgrim Fathers had initiated religious settlement in Yelagiri Hills 400 years ago. Tamil Tribal clan, namely Thodas inhabited the Hills and its surrounding before the Vellala Gounder or 'Malai Yali' (not to be confused with Malayalees). Malayali denotes people who live in mountains. Malayali people also called as "Karalar" which means 'one who rules the clouds'. Malayali people claim to come from plains, they are from the Kancheepuram district.   Another native tribal groups are the Irular.

Religion
Buddhism like other parts of Tamil Nadu thrived in Yelagiri Hills too followed by failed Catholic Monasticism (Augustinian). Buddhism, perhaps ended with factors of entity-relationship, highly prevalent among Buddhist traditions. However, no religion was welcomed in the Hills or proponents of religion were facing unfathomable conditions of life. In 1970's Christianity thrived but was abruptly ended due to Emergency Rule. Most of the Tamil people are Hindus. They commonly worship Shiva in the name of 'Nachiappan' and Parvati in the name of 'Nachiamma'. A temple for Murugan (son of Shiva and Parvati) was built in the 1960s. Recently more Churches were also established by the Christian missionary. Mosques are also available in the area.

Education
Earlier only a few Christian missionary schools were available for primary school education, but now more Residential schools have come up in this region.

Educational Institutions: There are schools in the various hamlets around Elagiri including the Government School and St. Charles School which are primarily for day scholars. There are also three residential schools –Peace Garden Matriculation School,Ebenezer Matriculation and Higher Secondary School (Residential), and Samaritan Residential Schools. The Don Bosco has recently started an Arts and Science College for the benefit of local community.

The Yelagiri Summer Festival
The famous Yelagiri Summer festival celebrated in May end is organised by the Tamil Nadu Tourism Development Board. Stalls from different departments, Flowers show, Boat house various cultural programs and Dog Show with a variety of dog breeds are conducted every year. People from all over the State and other parts of the country participate in this annual festival.

Centrum is an American brand of multivitamins produced by Haleon, originally Pfizer (formerly Wyeth) and GSK.

Physicians' Health Study II

In 2012, the Physicians' Health Study II (PHS-II) found that participants who took a Centrum-brand multivitamin each day for an average of 11 years had no change in cancer mortality or cardiovascular disease mortality compared to the placebo group.  The authors did find a slight reduction in cancer incidences, although this conclusion was questioned in the Journal of the American Medical Association.

On October 17, 2012, researchers reported on a double-blind study of 14,641 male U.S. physicians initially aged 50 years or older (mean age of 64.3, standard deviation 9.2 years), that began in 1997 with treatment and follow-up through June 1, 2011. They compared total cancer (excluding nonmelanoma skin cancer) for participants taking a daily multivitamin (Centrum Silver by Pfizer) versus placebo. Compared with placebo, men taking a daily multivitamin had a statistically significant reduction in the incidence of total cancer, with a hazard ratio (HR) = 0.92 (95% confidence interval (CI) 0.86-0.998; P = .04). No statistically significant effects were found for any specific cancers or cancer mortality. The 95% CI of the hazard ratio implied a benefit of between 14% and .2% over placebo. In absolute terms the difference was 1.3 cancer diagnoses, per 1000 years of life (18.3-17 events, respectively). The median follow up time was 11.2 years. The paper's co-principal investigator, Dr. J. Michael Gaziano, a cardiologist, was quoted by The New York Times as saying "it certainly appears there is a modest reduction in the risk of cancer from a typical multivitamin." The study was also featured in The Wall Street Journal on October 17, 2012.

An editorial in the same issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), reflecting the opinion of JAMA, was dismissive of the report on several counts. First, they said, "it seems unlikely that a common characteristic across all diseases included under this wide category of cancer would be a protective effect from multivitamins", suggesting if no specific cancer was effected, why would general cancer risk be so affected. Second, they questioned the study's abilities to deliver on the question of whether a multivitamin would be protective in a well-nourished population (Bayesian probability) stating: "The plausibility of a protective effect is reduced by the absence of a clear path through which 30 different vitamins and minerals would cause a decline in the risk of multiple cancers and, especially, by the negative pattern of prior results." In addition the investigators observed no difference in effect whether the study participants were or were not adherent to the multivitamin intervention, which diminishes the dose–response relationship.

The editorial was critical of the statistical multiplicity (multiple comparisons): the complete planned analysis of the primary and secondary end points in the PHS II study would entail 28 tests of association; each of which has "some possibility of yielding a statistically significant result by chance alone, even when there is no true treatment effect. [...] when this finding is considered in the context of the number of already completed and planned analyses of the same study, the strength of the inference is weaker, because the likelihood of a randomly occurring finding [...] is much greater." They concluded that any of the conventional P value corrections for multiple comparisons would eliminate the apparent "statistical significance" of the results.

From the same double-blind study, they found that taking a daily multivitamin did not have any effect in reducing heart attacks and other major cardiovascular events, MI, stroke, and CVD mortality.

On 6 April 2009, a Fokker F27-400M Troopship of the Indonesian Air Force crashed into a hangar at Husein Sastranegara International Airport, Bandung, West Java, Indonesia. Witnesses stated that lightning struck the aircraft before the crash. The aircraft was carrying 18 passengers and 6 crew when it crashed. There were no survivors among the 24 people on board.

Flight
The aircraft took off at 08:40 WIB from Halim Perdanakusuma Airport in Jakarta. The aircraft later landed at Husein Sastranegara International Airport in Bandung at 09:00. Two sessions of parachute jumps from the aircraft were planned. The first session occurred at 09:30 for 17 parachutists, all jumped safely. Seventeen parachutists and an instructor were on board the aircraft for the second session at 12:36. However, the flight crew was aware that the weather in the airport were deteriorating, deciding to return to base.

The aircraft was hit by lightning, nose dived and crashed into the hangar, killing everyone on board. Rescue teams found that all of the victims had suffered extreme injuries, making identification difficult.

Because the accident occurred at lunch time, the hangar was relatively empty and nobody on the ground was injured. However, the F27 impacted four aircraft inside the hangar: a NC-212 and a Boeing 737 belonging to Batavia Air, seriously damaging both; an Adam Air Boeing 737 and an Indonesian Aerospace CN-235 received minor damage.

Argaman () is an Israeli wine grape. It is a crossing of Souzão and Carignan.

The intention was to produce a variety of wine grape with good rich color, which had been a problem in Israeli wine. Roi Spiegel of the Volcani Institute of Agricultural Research and Shlomo Cohen of the Israeli Wine Institute created the Argaman (lit. "crimson") with this purpose in mind. After hundreds of attempts and micro-vinifications, successful wines were produced from it. Barkan Wine Cellars is one of the wineries that uses the variety.

According to The Oxford Companion to Wine, the Argaman is used primarily for low quality jug wines.

However, Segal Wines, produced from Argaman grapes grown in a vineyard in the Upper Galilee, has won prestigious awards, among them a gold medal at the Bordeaux wine competition. In addition, Jezreel Valley winery won a silver medal at Terravino 2012 with a red blend which includes Argaman. A red wine blend that contains Argaman, the Jezreel 2014 Adumim, has earned 93 out of 100 points by the Wine Enthusiast.   Jezreel Valley Winery is one of the leading revolutionaries in the resurgence of Argaman and has successfully bottled a single varietal Argaman which is rich, spicy and complex.

Grml  is a Linux distribution based on Debian. It is designed to run mainly from a live CD, but can be made to run from a USB flash drive. Grml aims to be well-suited to system administrators (sysadmin) and other users of text tools. It includes an X Window System server and a few minimalist window managers such as wmii, Fluxbox, and openbox to use the graphical programs like Mozilla Firefox which are included in the distribution.

Features
In addition to the sysadmin tools, security and network related software, data recovery and forensic tools, editors, shells, and many text tools included with grml, the distribution focuses on accessibility by providing kernel support for speakup and software like brltty, emacspeak, and flite.

Another feature Grml is its use of the Z shell (zsh) as the default login shell. The customized zsh configuration used by Grml can be retrieved from the project's repository.

Since early 2009, Grml ISOs come with MirOS bsd4grml, a minimal MirOS BSD flavour. After the release of Grml “Lackdose-Allergie” 2009.05, daily ISOs and later releases, such as Grml “Hello-Wien” 2009.10, use the manifold-boot technology to provide ISOs that can be written directly to a USB stick, CF/SD card, hard disc, etc. and are immediately bootable. Since Grml 2010.12 the ISOLINUX loader is used in all cases by default, providing a consistent menu.

While Grml is primarily designed as a live CD image, it can also be run as a desktop operating system through its "persistent home" feature.

Plathottathil Chacko George (born 28 August 1951) is an Indian politician. George is a seven-time and ex Member of the Legislative Assembly (M.L.A.) of the Poonjar constituency in the Kottayam district of Kerala state (1982 to 1987) and (1996 to 2022). He was in the Kerala Legislative Assembly for 33 years. After the legislative election 2016, he created his own party named as Kerala Janapaksham (Secular). Formerly, he was the member of political parties like Kerala Congress, Kerala Congress (Joseph), Kerala Congress (Mani) and Kerala Congress (Secular).

George served as the Chief Whip of the Kerala Legislative Assembly from 2011 to 2015, under Kerala Congress (M) party of the UDF government. George later became an independent politician. In 2017, he formed the party Kerala Janapaksham (Secular). Prior to the 2019 Indian general election, his party joined the National Democratic Alliance (NDA).

Personal life

George married Usha George on 25 January 1981 and has two sons Shaun and Shane. One of his sons, Shaun, is married to Parvathy, daughter of veteran actor Jagathy Sreekumar.

Political career
His political career started through students' movement. He was Ernakulam District President of K.S.C. (1971–73); General Secretary of K.S.C. (1973–76). He was elected as MLA from poonjar in 1980 Kerala congress LDF candidate He was arrested several times in connection with students agitations. He was Chairman of the Petitions Committee of the Legislative Assembly for seven and a half years. He was Chairman of the Subordinate Legislation Committee for two and a half years; Chairman of the Committee on Papers Laid on the Table for two and a half years. He was General Secretary, Kerala Congress; and Party leader of Kerala Congress (Secular) (2003–2010). He served as K.S.R.T.C. Board Member for ten years. He was elected to the Niyamasabha in 1981, 1982, 1996, 2001 and 2006, all from Poonjar constituency.

He was the incumbent MLA from Poonjar constituency in Kottayam District of Kerala until 2021. George was also vice-chairman of Kerala Congress (M), a splinter faction of Kerala Congress. The splinter groups of Kerala Congress are known for frequent splits and mergers. PC George was formerly a leader of the Kerala Congress (J) party and was critical of K.M. Mani, the leader of Kerala Congress (M). Later PC George quit the Joseph group and formed his own group and named it "Kerala Congress (secular)". Recently, PC George merged his group with K.M Mani's faction. Before joining Kerala Congress (M) his party was affiliated with the LDF.

P.C. George served as the Chief Whip, Government of Kerala in the UDF Government from 2011, until he was removed from the post on 7 April 2015. This removal was triggered based on the fights within the Kerala Congress (M), spurred due to the bar scam allegations on K M Mani.

After these dramatic incidents, PC George made a huge comeback in the 2016 panchayat elections and was looking forward to the upcoming Assembly election.
Just before the election, PC George was removed from "Kerala Congress (M)" party. And hence he decides to face the election without the support of any parties and to compete in the election as independent candidate. It was a fight unlike anything seen in this elections in the district: One man against the three major political formations. In the end, P.C. George came out victorious in style with a thumping margin of 27,821 votes. Mr. George was ousted from both the LDF and the UDF and even dubbed as the man leaders loved to hate. He was a marked man by CPI(M) leader Pinarayi Vijayan and hated by K.M. Mani, P.J. Joseph, and even Oommen Chandy. Though he expected the Left to take him back, it was not to be so. In fact, during the protracted campaign period, Mr. Vijayan had personally visited Poonjar twice to ensure that Mr. George was defeated. However, it appears that his major success was in operating a major split in the local unit of the CPI(M) and the UDF. In 2011, the LDF Independent Mohan Thomas received 44,105 votes. This time, LDF candidate P.C. Joseph could only muster just half the votes at 22,270 votes. Mr. George, in fact, raised his vote share from 59,809 in 2011 to 63,621. The UDF share came down to 35,800.

On 10 April 2019, Kerala Janapaksham, led by PC George joined the NDA.

Controversies
George has been strongly criticized for his derogatory comments against women. He was summoned by the women's commission for his derogatory reference about a Catholic nun, who was a victim of rape.

George got into a controversy when he demanded that India should be declared as a Hindu nation.

George is also highly controversial as he was arrested and is dealing with two cases of hate speech towards the Muslim community as of May 2022.

On 2 July 2022, George was arrested for sexual assault complaint filed by an accused in the solar panel case.
A new case has now been registered against him for insulting a woman journalist in July 2022.

The H. L. White Collection is a collection of Australian birds’ eggs originally accumulated by wealthy pastoralist, amateur ornithologist and oologist Henry Luke White (1860-1927).  On White's death it passed to the National Museum of Victoria in Melbourne.  The eggs of most of Australia's native bird species, including the extinct paradise parrot, are represented in the collection, which comprises some 4200 clutches totalling 13,000 eggs.  It is housed in the original custom-built Queensland maple cabinets commissioned by White.

History
White's interest in egg-collecting began in boyhood and continued throughout his life.  He increased the size of his own collection by purchasing others, including those of F. Lawson Whitlock, Dudley Le Souef and Sidney Jackson, the latter of whom he subsequently employed as curator of his egg and skin collection as well as a collector of additional specimens.  White originally intended his collection to go to the Australian Museum in Sydney, an intention that was rescinded because of White's personal antipathy towards Alfred North, the Curator of Birds there.

This article is a list of countries by median age.

Methodology
The median age is the index that divides the entire population into two numerically equal age groups, one younger than that age and the other older than that age. It is the only index associated with the age distribution of a population.

Currently, the median age ranges from a low of about 18 or less in most Least Developed countries to 40 or more in most European countries, Canada, Japan, Taiwan, Cuba and South Korea. The median age of women tends to be much greater than that of men in some of the ex-Soviet republics, while in the Global South, the difference is far smaller or is reversed.

In this article, two sets of data based on Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and United Nations (UN) estimates are provided.

Effie Anderson Smith (September 29, 1869 – April 21, 1955), also known as Mrs. A.Y. Smith, was an early Arizona impressionist painter of desert landscapes, many of Cochise County and the Grand Canyon.

Biography
Smith was born in the rural countryside near Nashville, Arkansas, in 1869.  She grew up in Arkansas and served as a school teacher in Hope, Arkansas until 1893, when she left Arkansas for New Mexico, and then Arizona. She studied with California Impressionists in Oakland (1904), with May Bradford Shockley in San Francisco (1908), in Laguna Beach with Anna Althea Hills (1914) and also at the Stickney Memorial Art School in Pasadena with Jean Mannheim and Richard E. Miller (1915-16). Her exhibitions include a show of her Southwest paintings in Corcoran Hall at George Washington University in Washington, DC beginning May 20, 1931. She lived for 56 years in southern Arizona, first in Benson (1895–96), then in Pearce (from 1896 to 1941) and later in Douglas (from 1941 to 1951) in Cochise County, and seasonally in Morenci in Greenlee County at the home of her son Lewis A. Smith.

Smith moved to Prescott, Arizona in 1951, and died there at the Arizona Pioneers' Home in 1955. She was buried at the Mountain View Cemetery in Prescott.

From January 11 to April 28, 2019, the Tucson Desert Art Museum presented a 150th birthday anniversary retrospective exhibit of E.A. Smith's landscapes with 46 of her canvases on display from her most prolific years (1926–1949), including four of her renowned Grand Canyon paintings.  The largest permanent public display of E.A. Smith's paintings are on exhibit at the Douglas Historical Society, Douglas, Arizona.

View, Inc. is an American glass-manufacturing company specializing in the production of smart glass.

Founded in 2007, the company is headquartered in Milpitas, California with a manufacturing facility in Olive Branch, Mississippi.

History
The company was co-founded in April 2007 by Paul Nguyen and Mike Scobey as eChromics, Based in Santa Rosa, California . The company was renamed Soladigm in October 2007,  and appointed Rao Mulpuri as CEO in December 2008. The firm moved headquarters to Milpitas, California in a reconditioned Seagate Technology factory.

In July 2010, the company announced its intent to start production from a new facility in Olive Branch, Mississippi. The same year, it was one of 12 winners of General Electric's $200 million "Ecomagination Challenge". It received a $3.5 million grant from the U.S. Department of Energy from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.

The company name was changed  to View, Inc. in November 2012, and began shipping from its new factory near the end of the third quarter of 2012. In 2015, the company's glass was installed at the new Overstock headquarters in Salt Lake City.

In 2013, Corning led an investment round of $60 million for View. Madrone Capital Partners invested $100 million in the company in January 2014. The company received $150 million in late-stage funding in 2015. Funding was led by the New Zealand Super Fund. In 2019, the OAA installed View Dynamic Glass at its headquarters.

Funding
In 2007, the company raised a Series A round of funding from Sigma Partners and Khosla Ventures, which later took over control of the company and received preferred shares.  Prior to the company's name change, Soladigm was awarded a grant from the U.S. Department of Energy for $3.5 million, derived from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.

In 2013, Corning led an investment round of $60 million for View. Madrone Capital Partners invested $100 million in the company in January 2014. The company received $150 million in late-stage funding in 2015. Funding was led by the New Zealand Super Fund.

In June 2017, BlackRock led a $200 million investment in View, bringing total funding for the company to $700 million.

In 2018, View, Inc. announced a $1.1 Billion investment from the SoftBank Vision Fund.

In May 2022, View, Inc. announced that they may not have sufficient financial resources to meet it’s financial obligations for at least twelve months from the expected issuance date of its 2021 financial statements

Products and technology
The company's product, View Dynamic Glass, features an electrochromic (EC) coating composed of multiple layers of ceramic metal oxide with a thickness of 1 micron. Low voltage wiring is added so the tint of the glass can be controlled through an app or centralized software system in response to weather or interior temperature. Upon activation of the low-voltage direct current electrical signal, the materials  in the insulating glass changes from transparent to up to 99% tinted for visible wavelengths.

The technology is designed to facilitate the entry of natural light into buildings and, when tinted, reduces glare and deflects infrared radiation. Each window pane can adjust its tint variably throughout the day. Additionally, every pane possesses a unique IP address, enabling its control via an app. The intensity of the tint can be adjusted to control glare, direct sunlight coming in, and to modify privacy.

By 2016, the company made panels that could be retrofitted as well as panels based on builders' specifications.

In 2018, the firm partnered with Microsoft Azure IoT to develop a physical security system that notifies building managers when glass breaks.

Litigation
In January 2009, Nguyen was relieved of his role as CTO and was dismissed the following month. In January 2010, Nguyen filed a lawsuit against the company,   questioning the validity of the company's financing rounds and alleging his dismissal breached the company's certificate of incorporation voting agreement.  The parties agreed to arbitration, and in December 2015, the arbitrator ruled in Nguyen's favor. This decision, as noted by a judge in subsequent proceedings, had a significant impact on View's capital structure".

In Feb 2018, following challenges from investors,  the litigation reached a settlement, which solidified the company's capital structure. This case subsequently influenced a proposal to revise Delaware's corporate law.

In December 2012, SAGE Electrochromics filed a patent infringement suit against View; View counter-sued a few months later.

Roaring River Wilderness is a wilderness area in the Mount Hood National Forest in Clackamas County, Oregon, United States. Southwest of Mount Hood, Oregon's tallest mountain, the  area was created in 2009. The wilderness area is named after the Roaring River that flows through the area and is a tributary of the Clackamas River.

History
In 2004, Senator Ron Wyden of Oregon introduced legislation to add the area around the Roaring River to the Salmon–Huckleberry Wilderness. That bill did not pass and the next year several members of Oregon's delegation to the U.S. House proposed protecting the area as well. Sponsored by Earl Blumenauer and Greg Walden, this bill would have created a new wilderness area for the river's valley and received unanimous support in committee. The Bush administration supported some expansion of the wilderness areas around Mount Hood, but not as much as proposed by the bill. This bill also failed to become law, and in February 2007, Wyden and fellow Senator Gordon Smith introduced another bill to create the Roaring River Wilderness. The area officially became a protected wilderness area in March 2009 when the Omnibus Public Land Management Act of 2009 was signed into law by President Barack Obama.

Details
Located southwest of Mount Hood, the area includes 1,000-year-old trees in its old-growth forest. Prior to designation as a wilderness area the Dry Ridge, Grouse Point, Serene Lake, Shellrock Lake, and Shining Lake trails were open to use by mountain bikes. Lakes in the area include the Rock Lakes and Serene Lake, while Cache Meadow is one of the many alpine meadows. The river itself is a spawning habitat for several salmon species and is a tributary to the Clackamas River. Flora and fauna include spotted owls, pileated woodpeckers, bears, cougars, elk, mule deer, salamanders, huckleberry, salal, and sword ferns among others.

Juan Pablo Cafiero (born 9 July 1953, San Isidro, Buenos Aires Province) is an Argentine politician and the Argentine Ambassador to the Vatican since 2008. He has served as a National Deputy and government minister, and is the son of Peronist Antonio Cafiero.

In his youth, Cafiero was an activist in the Peronist Youth and headed the Justicialist Party of San Isidro. In 1989 he was elected as a National Deputy for the Party, but the following year he was one of the 'Group of 8', progressive Peronists opposed to the neo-liberal policies of President Carlos Menem. The Group split from the Justicialist Party to create the Frente Grande and subsequently FrePaSo which formed part of the Alliance for Work, Justice and Education which took Fernando de la Rúa to the Presidency.

Cafiero had returned to Congress in 1997, representing FrePaSo. He was first Vice President of the Chamber. In 2001, he agreed to join the troubled government of De la Rúa as Minister for Social Development. When the Presidency collapsed, Cafiero was kept in his position by President Eduardo Duhalde.

In 2003, he was part of the movement which brought Néstor Kirchner to the Presidency, kirchnerism being much closer to Cafiero's progressive Peronism. He was appointed Minister of Justice and Security in the Buenos Aires Province under Governor Felipe Solá.

Cafiero was appointed as Ambassador to the Holy See in October 2008. President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner's first choice, Alberto Iribarne, was rejected by the Vatican as he had been divorced.

Cafiero is married with four children. He is one of ten children. A brother, Mario Cafiero, has also been a national deputy. His son, Santiago, has been Chief of the Cabinet of Ministers since 2019, in the cabinet of President Alberto Fernández.

The  otherwise known as the "Circle Three" Plan was the third of four expansion plans of the Imperial Japanese Navy between 1930 and the start of World War II.

Background
The London Naval Treaty placed severe restrictions on Japan's naval capabilities vis-a-vis the United States Navy and the British Royal Navy in terms of tonnage and numbers of capital warships. The response of the Imperial Japanese Navy General Staff was to initiate a construction program (Maru-1) to build 39 new warships to the allotted tonnage limits in each of the restricted categories, and to invest in types of warships and weaponry not specifically covered by the provisions of the treaty, such as expansion of the Imperial Japanese Navy Air Service to 14 Naval Air Groups

In 1934, the Naval Ministry submitted its second expansion plan Maru-2 to the Cabinet, to make up for the shortfall in funding caused by  modifications to rectify issues with existing equipment after the Tomozuru Incident and IJN 4th Fleet Incident, when it was revealed that the basic designs of many Japanese warships were flawed due to poor construction techniques and instability caused by attempting to mount too much weaponry on too small a displacement hull. In addition, 48 new warships and creation of eight new Naval Air Groups were funded.

By 1937, the term of the London Naval Treaty had expired, and the Japanese government refused overtures to participate in further disarmament negotiations. Instead, a massive third expansion plan was officially ratified by the Diet of Japan in 1937, calling for 66 new combat vessels, centering on two of the new Yamato-class battleships and two Shōkaku-class aircraft carriers, and expansion of the Imperial Japanese Navy Air Service by 14 more Naval Air Groups.

This plan was a multiyear (six year) budget, and allocated a total of 806,549,000 Yen was allotted for warship construction and 75,267,000 Yen for naval aviation. The final three vessels (two Katori class training cruisers, plus Ikino supply ship) were funded under the 1938 Supplementary Estimates.

The reclamation of Wellington Harbour started in the 1850s, in order to increase the amount of usable land for the then new City of Wellington. Land plots in the early city were scarce, with little room for public buildings and parks, as well as inadequate dockside areas for shipping. Reclamation progressively advanced into the harbour throughout the 19th and 20th centuries, providing room for public, commercial and industrial areas for the city. Large reclamations were made in the 1960s and '70s to meet the demands of container shipping and new cargo handling methods.

For over 100 years, development was largely overseen by the Wellington Harbour Board, formed in 1880. As one of the outcomes of the 1989 local government reforms, an operating company Port of Wellington (now CentrePort Wellington) was formed. At the time it commenced operation in 1989, it owned approximately  of Wellington waterfront property including wharves. The remainder of the Wellington waterfront area from Shed 21 to Clyde Quay Wharf, including all the buildings, was transferred to Wellington City Council. Since then, the formerly industrial waterfront has been converted into office space and public areas.  Reclamation has added more than 155 hectares to Wellington.

Establishment of Wellington

A plan for the New Zealand Company's new settlement of Britannia at Pito-one (Petone) had been prepared in England by Samuel Cobham. The key elements of his city were a large amount of flat land on the shores of a harbour, traversable by a navigable river. When surveyors arrived in 1840 on the Cuba led by Captain William Mein Smith, it was determined that the Hutt River was not navigable and, due to its tendency to flood, was not appropriate to support a major city. For these reasons the new settlement was relocated to the southern shores of Port Nicholson and renamed Wellington.

Edward Gibbon Wakefield of the New Zealand Company had devised a system of "packages" of land for colonists of one town acre each. Cobham's Brittania consisted of 1100  town sections, which William Mein Smith struggled to fit into the new location. These sections were squeezed into the available space by sacrificing many of the planned amenities such as parks, reserves, ports, libraries and many other public areas identified in the original plan. For this reason, from Wellington's outset, there was a need for extra land.

19th century reclamations

Early reclamations
While large scale reclamation began in the 1850s, the earliest reclamations in Wellington were conducted by private citizens. A popular story of the first reclamation conducted in Wellington was that done by George Bennet. Bennet had arrived in 1848 on the Berenicia and purchased a hilly section at Windy, or Clay Point (what is now the corner of Lambton Quay and Willis Street). At that time, Windy Point was a precipice with a narrow and often impassible path connecting Willis Street to Beach Road (now Lambton Quay). Bennet commenced, to the amusement of neighbours, with pick-axe, shovel and barrow to move earth from the Point, tossing the spoil onto the path and into the harbour, thus widening the track and performing Wellington's first reclamation.

A programme of systematic reclamation began in 1852, overseen by the provincial government. Charles Carter completed a 360' x 100' extension below Willis Street at a cost of £1,036.

In 1855, the magnitude 8.2 Wairarapa earthquake uplifted the northwestern side of Wellington bay (in some places up to 1.5 metres). This created a tidal swamp, and rendered many of the existing jetties in the harbour unusable. Most of this land was subsequently reclaimed, providing an excellent new rail and road route to the north. Another result of the newly raised land in Wellington was that the shipping basin planned for the city was abandoned and the land then used for a cricket ground, the Basin Reserve.

Establishment of the Wellington Harbour Board
The Wellington City Council was inaugurated in 1870, and by the end of the 1870s some  of land had been reclaimed using spoil from the hills behind Lambton Quay and from Wadestown Hill.

In 1880, the Wellington Harbour Board was established to manage and develop the harbour and its facilities. From then on reclamation work was divided between the Harbour Board, the Government and the City Council. Among major developments from 1880 to the turn of the century was reclamation north of Pipitea Point for railways land and south of Queens Wharf to Te Aro by the City Council. This removed the last vestiges of private ownership of the foreshore, putting the waterfront under the control of the Harbour Board.

By the end of the 19th century, the original 1840 shoreline was unrecognisable.

20th century reclamations

From 1900 to 1930 further reclamations were made for railways and Harbour Board purposes. Additional wharves and the seawall at Oriental Bay were built, and the boat harbour at Clyde Quay was constructed.

1960s and container shipping

The final phase of reclamation took place in the 1960s and 1970s. A government report in 1967 recommended the adoption of containerisation and that Wellington should be one of the two New Zealand container ports. With containerisation came new roll-on/roll-off cargo handling methods that require more land adjacent to ships' berths. This resulted in the start of an extension to the Aotea Quay reclamation. Reclamation was carried out on both sides of Queens Wharf and the Wellington Harbour Board Container Terminal was created by a large reclamation at Thorndon.

The first container ship berthed on 19 June 1971. The container terminal has 24.3 hectares of back-up space capable of holding 6,284 containers.

Port reforms

The Wellington Harbour Board was disestablished after the passing of the Port Companies Act 1988 and the Local Government Act 1989, as part of the 1989 local government reforms. Operational port assets were transferred to a new company called Port of Wellington. Ownership of the Port of Wellington company was vested in Greater Wellington Regional Council, and Horizons Regional Council. When the port company was formed, it owned approximately  of Wellington waterfront property including wharves. The remainder of the Wellington waterfront area, from Shed 21 to Clyde Quay Wharf, including all the buildings, was transferred to Wellington City Council.

Port of Wellington changed its name to Port Wellington in 1997 and then to CentrePort Wellington in May 1999, to emphasise that fact that the port is in the centre of New Zealand and able to serve a large geographical area.

Marking the original shoreline
In 1976, the Historic Places Trust placed 14 plaques along the original shoreline. These plaques run from Pipitea Point, along Lambton Quay, through Mercer Street, lower Cuba Street, Wakefield Street to Oriental Parade at the northern corner of Herd Street.

Keith Ferguson (July 23, 1946 – April 29, 1997) was an American bass guitarist, best remembered as a member of the blues rock band, The Fabulous Thunderbirds, based in Austin, Texas. Ferguson received several awards for his musicianship.

Biography
Ferguson was born July 23, 1946, and raised in the 'Sexto' – the Sixth Ward of Houston Texas, where he graduated from San Jacinto High School in 1964.

In 1969, he joined "Sunnyland Special", a blues band with Angela Strehli and Lewis Cowdrey. They recorded a 45-rpm single. In 1972 he joined "Black Kangaroo" with guitarist Peter Kaukonen, and toured with them. In 1974 he played in the "Nightcrawlers" together with Stevie Ray Vaughan. Keith also played with Rocky Hill at that time.

In 1976, Ferguson joined The Fabulous Thunderbirds, along with vocalists Lou Ann Barton and Kim Wilson and guitarist Jimmie Vaughan. (Barton left soon after the group began.) The band had an initial large local following, but was unable to maintain a sustained following with commercially positive results. More than five years of being dropped by small and large record labels, with Chrysalis Records being the last in their initial period to drop the band, there was a hiatus of several years, during which time a re-shuffling of band members began to take place, and Ferguson was one of the first to leave.

Ferguson went on to become a member of the Tailgators along with Don Leady and Gary "Mudcat" Smith.

After leaving the Tailgators, Ferguson freelanced with a number of Austin blues bands on the 6 Street Blues Circuit and played with the Excellos and the Solid Senders.

He died of liver failure at the age of 50, on April 29, 1997, due in part to a nearly thirty-year addiction to heroin.

In 2014, a biography was written by author Detlef Schmidt: Keith Ferguson: Texas Blues Bass.
