Microsoft Windows
Microsoft Windows or Windows is a super family of graphical operating systems developed, marketed, and sold by Microsoft.
It consists of several families of operating systems, each of which cater to a
certain sector of the computing industry. Active Windows families include Windows NT, Windows Embedded and Windows
Phone; these may encompass subfamilies, e.g. Windows
Embedded Compact (Windows CE) or Windows Server. Defunct Windows
families include Windows 9x and Windows
Mobile.
Microsoft
introduced an operating
environment named Windows on November 20, 1985 as a graphical operating system shelf or MS-DOS in response to the growing interest in graphical user interfaces (GUIs). Microsoft Windows came to dominate the world's personal computer market with over 90% market share, overtaking Mac OS, which had been introduced in
1984. However, it is outsold by Android on smartphones and tablets.
As of
April 2014, the most recent versions of Windows for personal computers, smartphones, server computers and embedded devices are respectively Windows 8.1, Windows Phone 8.1, Windows Server 2012 R2 and Windows
Embedded 8. A specialized version of Windows runs on the Xbox One game console.
Adidas
ADIDAS AG is
a German multinational corporation that designs and manufactures
sports shoes, clothing and accessories. The company is based in Herzogenaurach, Bavaria, Germany.
It is the holding company for the Adidas Group, which consists of the Reebok sportswear
company, Taylor Made-Adidas golf company (including Ashworth), Rockport,
and 9.1% of FC Bayern Munich. Besides sports footwear, Adidas also
produces other products such as bags, shirts, watches, eyewear and other sports
and clothing-related goods. Adidas is the largest sportswear manufacturer
in Europe and the second biggest in the world, after Nike.
Adidas was founded in 1949 by Adolf
Dassler, following a family feud at the Gebrüder Dassler Schuhfabrik company
between him and his older brother Rudolf. Rudolf had earlier
established Puma, which quickly became the business rival of Adidas. Both
the Adidas and Puma companies still remain based in Herzogenaurach,
Germany to this day.
The company's clothing and shoe designs
typically feature three parallel bars, and the same motif is incorporated
into Adidas's current official logo.
Puma
PUMA SE (officially branded as PUMA) is a major German multinational company that produces athletic and casual
footwear, as well as sportswear,
headquartered in Herzogenaurach, Bavaria, Germany. The company was formed in
1924 as Gebrüder Dassler
Schuhfabrik by Adolf and Rudolf
Dassler. The relationship between the two brothers deteriorated until the two
agreed to split in 1948, forming two separate entities, Adidas and Puma.
Both companies are currently based in Herzogenaurach, Germany.
Puma
makes football shoes and has sponsored a number of
footballers, including Pelé, Eusébio, Johan Cruyff, Diego Maradona,Lothar Matthäus, Kenny Dalglish, Thierry Henry, Robert Pires, Zlatan Ibrahimović, Radamel Falcao, Sergio Agüero, Cesc Fàbregas,Marco Reus, Gianluigi Buffon and Mario
Balotelli. Puma is the sponsor of the Jamaican track athlete Usain Bolt. In the United States, the
company is known for the suede
basketball shoe it introduced in
1968, which eventually bore the name of New
York Knicksbasketball star Walt
"Clyde" Frazier, and for its endorsement partnership with Joe Namath.
Following
the split from his brother, Rudolf Dassler originally registered the
new-established company as Ruda,
but later changed to Puma. Puma's
earliest logo consisted of a square and beast jumping through a D, which was registered, along
with the company's name, in 1948. Puma's shoe designs feature the distinctive
"Formstrip", with
clothing and other products having the logo printed on them.
The
company offers lines of shoes and sports clothing designed by Lamine Kouyate,
Amy Garbers, and others. Since 1996 Puma has intensified its activities in the
United States. Puma owns 25% of American brand sports clothing maker Logo
Athletic, which is licensed by American professional basketball and association
football leagues.
Since
2007 Puma has been part of French group Kering (formerly known as
Pinault-Printemps-Redoute or PPR).
Cristiano Ronaldo
Cristiano Ronaldo dos Santos
Aveiro, (born 5 February 1985), known as Cristiano Ronaldo, is
a Portuguese professional footballer who plays as a forward for Spanish club Real Madrid and captainsthe Portugal national team.
Ronaldo
was born in Santo António, a
neighbourhood of Funchal, Madeira, the youngest child of Maria
Dolores dos Santos Aveiro, a cook, and José Dinis Aveiro, a municipal gardener. His second given name "Ronaldo" was chosen after
then-U.S. president Ronald Reagan,
who was his father's favourite actor. He has one older brother, Hugo, and two
older sisters, Elma and Liliana Cátia. His
great-grandmother Isabel da Piedade was from Cape
Verde.
Ronaldo
became the world's most expensive
player when he moved from Manchester United to Real Madrid in 2009. He is regarded
by some in the sport to be currently the best player in the world, and one of the greatest of all time.
Ronaldo
began his career as a youth player for Andorinha,
where he played for two years, before moving to C.D. Nacional. In 1997, he made a move
to Portuguese giants Sporting CP.
Ronaldo made his international
debut for Portugal in August 2003, at the age of 18.
In 2007, Ronaldo was the first
player in England to win all four main PFA and FWA awards. In 2008 and 2013, he
won the FIFA/Ballon d'Or award
for the best footballer in the world, the first Portuguese player to win the
award twice. He was awarded the European Golden Shoe in 2008, 2011 and 2014. In 2008, he
won 3 of the 4 main PFA and FWA trophies and was named the FIFA World Player of the Year, FIFPro Player of the Year, World Soccer Player of the Year, and
the Onze d'Or. In 2007 and 2008, Ronaldo was named FWA Footballer of the Year. He was the
inaugural winner of the FIFA
Puskás Award for Goal of the Year
in 2009. In a 2014 UEFA poll, he was named the greatest goalscorer to play in
the UEFA Champions League.[14] With 68 goals as of September 2014, he is tied second in the competition's top scorers of all time,
only trailing Raúl by three goals. He also holds the
record for most goals scored in a
single UEFA Champions League season, scoring 17 goals in the 2013–14 season.
Ronaldo
is the first top European league player to reach 40 goals in a single season in
two consecutive years, fastest Real Madrid player to reach 100 league goals,
and the first player to score against every team in a single season in La Liga. He holds the record for most goals
scored in a season for Real Madrid. In January 2014, Ronaldo scored his 400th
senior career goal for club and country aged 28.
Temple Run
Temple
Run is a 2011 endless
running video game developed and
published by the Raleigh-based Imangi Studios. It is produced, designed and
programmed by husband and wife team Keith Shepherd and Natalia Luckyanova, and with art by Kiril Tchangov. The game was initially released for iOS devices, and later ported to Android systems and Windows
Phone 8.
A sequel to the original game was released on
January 17, 2013 for iOS, and on
January 24 for Android. As of
June 2014,Temple Run and
its sequel have been downloaded over 1 billion times.
In Temple Run, the player controls
an explorer who, having stolen a treasure from a temple, is chased by
"demonic monkeys" who want to eat him/her. As the game is an endless
running game, there is no end to the temple; therefore, the player plays until
the character falls off the temple to his/her demise or is eaten by the crazed
monkeys.
While
the character is running, the player can tilt their device left or right to
move the character to the left or right of the screen to collect coins or avoid
objects. There are three types of coin: gold, red, and blue. A golden coin has
a value of one credit, red is two credits and blue is three. The coins/credits
can be used to buy and then upgrade power-ups and other characters. When the player
needs to turn left or right, they swipe their finger across the touchscreen in the corresponding direction. If
they wish to jump over an object, they swipe upwards; if they wish to slide
under an object, they swipe downwards.

Videocon
VIDEOCON INDUSTRIES LIMITED is
a large diversified Indian company headquartered in Gurgaon, Haryana. The group has 17 manufacturing sites in India and plants
in Mainland China, Poland, Italy and Mexico. It claims to be the third
largest picture
tube manufacturer in the world. The
group is a US$5
billion global conglomerate
The Videocon group's core areas of business are consumer electronics and home appliances.
They have recently diversified into areas such as DTH, power, oil exploration and
telecommunication.
Consumer electronics
In India, the group sells consumer products like colour
televisions, washing machines, air conditioners, refrigerators, microwave ovens
and many other home appliances, through a multi-brand strategy with the largest
sales and service network in India.
Since the entry of Korean Chaebols and their rising popularity in
the Indian market, Videocon from a stand-point of market leader has seen a slow
decline to become a no 3 player in India. The company continues to do well in
the washing machine and refrigerator segment but has significantly lost ground
in the consumer electronics space.
Mobile phones
In November 2009, Videocon launched its new line of mobile phones. Videocon has, since launched a number of handsets ranging
from basic colour FM phones to high-end Android devices. In February 2011,
Videocon Mobile Phones launched the hitherto unknown concept of 'Zero' paise (1
paise is the 100th unit of 1INR) per second with bundled SIM cards of Videocon mobile services for 7 of its handset
models.
In June 2013, Videocon Mobiles launched its own flagship
smartphone Videocon A55HD in India for Rs. 13,499.
Oil and gas
An important asset for the group is its Ravva oil field with one
of the lowest operating costs in the world producing 50,0000 barrels of oil per
day.
DTH
In 2009, Videocon launched its DTH product, called 'd2h'. As a pioneering offer in the Indian DTH market, Videocon offered LCD & TVs with
built-in DTH satellite receiver with sizes 19" to 42".
Telecommunication
Videocon Telecommunications Limited has a licence for mobile service
operations across India. It launched its services on 7 April 2010 in Mumbai.
Counter-Strike
COUNTER-STRIKE is a first-person
shooter video game developed by Valve Corporation. It was initially
developed and released as a Half-Life
modification by Minh "Gooseman" Le and Jess
"Cliffe" Cliffe in
1999, before Le and Cliffe were hired and the game's intellectual property
acquired. Counter-Strike was first released by Valve on the Microsoft Windows platform in 2000. The game later
spawned a franchise, and is the first installment in the Counter-Strike series. Several remakes and Ports of Counter-Strike have been released on the Xbox console,
as well as OS X and Linux.
Set in
various locations around the globe, players assume the roles of members of
combating teams that include counter-terrorists and terrorists. During each
independent match, the two teams of five players are tasked with defeating the
other by the means of either achieving the map's objectives, or else killing
the enemy combatants. Each player may customize their arsenal of weapons and
accessories at the beginning of every match, with the currency earned through
each map reset, killing other players and achieving objectives.
As of
August 2011, the Counter-Strike franchise has sold over 25 million
units.
Chris Gayle
CHRISTOPHER HENRY "Chris" GAYLE (born 21
September 1979) is a Jamaican cricketer who plays international cricket for
the West Indies. He captained the
West Indies' Test side from 2007 to 2010. He plays
domestic cricket for Jamaica, and
also represents theRoyal Challengers Bangalore in the Indian Premier League, the Sydney Thunder in the Big Bash League and the Dhaka Gladiators in the Bangladesh Premier League. He has also
represented Worcestershire, the Western Warriors, Barisal Burners and the Kolkata Knight Riders in his career. He was also selected
for team Uva Next for the inaugural Sri Lanka Premier League in 2012.
He is one
of only four players who have scored two triple
centuries at Test level: 317
against South Africa in 2005, and 333 against Sri Lanka in 2010. He is known as a big hitter,
often hitting sixes; in 2012 he became the first player to hit a six off the
first ball of a Test match. Playing for Royal
Challengers Bangalore, he scored a 30-ball century, the fastest across any
format, that became the highest individual T20 score (175). It eclipsed the previous mark set by Brendan McCullum of Kolkata
Knight Riders. At the launch of the Caribbean Premier League he was announced as the first
franchise player for the league.
Gayle started his cricket
career with the famous Lucas Cricket Club in Kingston, Jamaica. Gayle
claimed "If it was not for Lucas I don't know where I would be today.
Maybe on the streets." Lucas
Cricket Club's nursery has been named in honour of Gayle.
Gayle played for the West
Indies at youth international level prior to making his first-class debut aged 19 for Jamaica. He played his first One Day International eleven months later, and his first Test match six months after that. Gayle, who normally opens the
innings when he plays for the West Indies, is a destructive batsman who is most
effective playing square of the wicket. In July 2001, Gayle (175), together
with Daren Ganga (89) established the record for opening partnerships at Queens Sports Club, Bulawayo when they put on 214 together against Zimbabwe.
Adam Gilchrist
ADAM CRAIG GILCHRIST, (born
14 November 1971), nicknamed "Gilly" or "Churchy" is a
former Australian cricketer who has captained Kings XI
Punjab and Middlesex. He is an attacking
left-handed batsman and record-breaking wicket-keeper, who
redefined the role for the Australian national team through his aggressive
batting. He is considered to be one of the greatest wicket-keeper–batsmen in
the history of the game. He
holds the world record for the most dismissals by a wicket keeper in One
Day International(ODI) cricket and the most by an Australian in Test
cricket. His strike
rate is amongst the highest in the history of both ODI and Test cricket;
his century against England at Perth in December 2006 is the
second-fastest century in all Test cricket. He
is the only player to have hit 100 sixes in Test cricket. His
17 Test and 16 ODI centuries are the most by a wicket-keeper. He
holds the unique record of scoring at least 50 runs in successive World Cup
finals (in 1999, 2003 and 2007) and is one of only three
players to have won three titles.
Gilchrist is renowned for walking when he considers
himself to be out, sometimes contrary to the decision of the umpire. He
made his first-class debut in 1992, his first One-Day International
appearance in 1996 in India and his Test debut in 1999. During
his career, he played for Australia in 96 Test matches and over 270 One-day
internationals. He was Australia's vice-captain in both forms of the
game, captaining the team when regular captains Steve Waugh and Ricky
Ponting were unavailable. He retired from
international cricket in March 2008.
In March 2013, he announced that he would join the Caribbean
Premier League, a Twenty20 tournament in the West Indies in
July along with teammate Ricky Ponting.
Adam Gilchrist was born in 1971
at Bellingen Hospital, in Bellingen, New South Wales, the youngest of four
children. He and his family lived in Dorrigo, Junee and then Deniliquin where, playing for his school,
Deniliquin South Public School, he won the Brian Taber Shield (named after New South Wales cricketer Brian Taber). At the age of 13, his
parents, Stan and June, moved the family to Lismore where Gilchrist captained the Kadina High School cricket team. Gilchrist was selected for the state
under-17 team, and in 1989 he was offered a
scholarship by London-based
Richmond Cricket Club, a scheme he now supports himself. During his year at Richmond, he also
played junior cricket for Old
Actonians Cricket Club's under 17
team, with whom he won the Middlesex League and Cup double. He moved to Sydney
and joined the Gordon Club in Sydney
Grade Cricket, later moving to Northern Districts.
Gilchrist
is married to his high school sweetheart Melinda (Mel) Gilchrist (née Sharpe),
a dietitian, and they have three
sons, Harrison, Archie and Ted, and a daughter, Annie Jean. His family came under the spotlight in
the months leading up to the 2007
Cricket World Cup as Archie's
impending birth threatened his presence in the squad; Archie was born in
February and Gilchrist was able to take part in the tournament.
Gilchrist's attacking batting has
been a key part of Australia's one-day success, as he usually opens the batting.
He was a part of the successful1999, 2003 and 2007
Cricket World Cup campaigns. Gilchrist's Test batting average in
the upper 40s is unusually high for a wicket-keeper. He is currently 45th on the all–time
list of highest batting averages. He
maintains a Test strike-rate of 82 runs per hundred balls, the highest since
balls were recorded in full. His combination of attack and consistency create
one of the most dynamic world cricketers ever,playing shots to all areas of
the field with uncommon timing. Gilchrist's skills as a wicket-keeper are
sometimes questioned; some people would claim that he is the best keeper in
Australia while Victorian wicket-keeper Darren Berry was regarded by many as the best
Australian wicket-keeper of the 1990s and early 2000s.
In this
role, Gilchrist is perhaps disadvantaged by his relatively tall stature for a
pure wicket-keeper. However, while perhaps not as elegant as some, he has
successfully kept wicket for spin
bowler Shane Warne and fast
bowlers Glenn McGrath and Brett
Lee for most of his international
career. His partnerships with McGrath and Lee are second and fourth
respectively in both test and ODI history for the number of wickets taken. With Alec
Stewart and Mark Boucher, he shares the record for
most catches (6) by a wicketkeeper in a ODI match, however he has now achieved
this feat five times, the most recent versus India in 2008 CB Series. The match in 2007 was also the second
time he took six dismissals and scored a half century in the same
ODI; he remains the only player to do so even once. At Old
Trafford in August 2005, he
passed Alec Stewart's world record of 4,540 runs as a Test wicketkeeper. Statistically,
he is currently the most successful ODI wicket-keeper in history; with 417
catches and 55 stumpings, a total of 472 dismissals, his closest rival, Mark
Boucher, is more than 80 dismissals behind.
Serena Williams
SERENA JAMEKA WILLIAMS (born September 26, 1981) is an American
professional tennis player who is currently
ranked No. 1 in women's singles tennis. The Women's
Tennis Association has ranked her
World No. 1 in singles on six separate occasions. She became the World No. 1
for the first time on July 8, 2002, and regained this ranking for the sixth
time on February 18, 2013, becoming the oldest world no. 1 player in WTA's
history. She is the only female player to have
won over $50 million in prize money. Williams
is the reigning French Open, US Open, WTA Tour Championships and Olympic ladies
singles champion.
Williams
holds the most Major singles, doubles, and mixed doubles titles combined
amongst active players, male or female. Her record of 32 Major titles puts her seventh on the
all-time list: 17 in singles, 13 in women's doubles, and 2 in mixed doubles.
She is the most recent player, male or female, to have held all four Grand Slam
singles titles simultaneously ('02–'03) and only the fifth woman ever to do so.
Her total of 17 Grand Slam singles titles is sixth on the all-time list, and fourth in the Open Era, behind Steffi Graf (22 titles) and Chris Evertand Martina Navratilova (18 titles each). She has won 13 Grand Slam doubles
titles with her sister Venus
Williams and the pair are
unbeaten in Grand Slam finals. Serena Williams is also a four-time
winner of the WTA Tour
Championships. Williams is only
one of five tennis players all-time to win a multiple
slam set in two disciplines,
matching Margaret Court, Roy Emerson, Martina Navratilova and Frank Sedgman. The arrival of Venus
and Serena Williams has been credited with launching a new era of power and
athleticism in women's tennis.
Williams
has won four Olympic gold medals,
one in women's singles and three in women's doubles, an all-time record shared
with her sister Venus.
Serena Williams was born in Saginaw,
Michigan, to Richard
Williams and Oracene
Price and is the youngest of Price's five daughters: half-sisters Yetunde, Lyndrea and Isha Price, and full sister Venus. When the children were young, the family moved to Compton,
California, where Serena started playing tennis at
the age of four. Her father home-schooled Serena and
her sister Venus and to this day, Serena Williams was and remains
coached by both her parents. Williams' family moved from Compton to West
Palm Beach when
she was nine so that she could attend the tennis academy of Rick Macci, who
would provide additional coaching. Macci spotted the exceptional talents of the
sisters. He did not always agree with Williams' father, but respected that
"he treated his daughters like kids, allowed them to be little girls". Richard stopped sending his daughters to national
junior tennis tournaments when Williams was 10, since he wanted them to take it
slow and focus on school work. Another factor was racial, as he had heard white
parents talk about the Williams sisters in a derogatory manner during
tournaments. At that time, Williams had a 46–3 record on the United
States Tennis Association junior tour
and was ranked No. 1 among under-10 players in Florida. In
1995, when Serena was in the ninth grade, Richard pulled his daughters out of
Macci's academy, and from then on took over all coaching at their home. When
asked in 2000 whether having followed the normal path of playing regularly on
the junior circuit would have been beneficial, Williams responded:
"Everyone does different things. I think for Venus and I, we just
attempted a different road, and it worked for us." In
2003 sister Yetunde was fatally shot in an SUV after a confrontation with
youths in Compton.
Kapil Dev
KAPIL DEV RAMLAL NIKHANJ (born 6
January 1959), better known as Kapil
Dev, is a former Indian cricketer.
He captained the Indian cricket team which won the 1983 Cricket World Cup. Named by Wisden as the Indian Cricketer of the Century in 2002, Kapil Dev was one of the greatest all-rounders of all time. He was also India's
national cricket coach for 10 months between October 1999 and August 2000.
Kapil was
a right-arm pace bowler noted for his graceful action and
potent outswinger, and was
India's main strike bowler for most of his career. He also developed a fine inswinging yorker during the 1980s, which he used very
effectively against tail-enders.
As a batsman, he was a natural
striker of the ball who could hook and drive effectively. A naturally
aggressive player, he often helped India in difficult situations by taking the
attack to the opposition. Nicknamed The
Haryana Hurricane, he represented the Haryana
cricket team in domestic cricket. He retired in 1994, holding the world
record for the most number of wickets taken in Test cricket, a record subsequently
broken by Courtney Walsh in 2000. At the time, he was also
India's highest wicket taker in both major forms of cricket, Tests and ODIs. He is the only player in the
history of cricket to have taken more than 400 wickets (434 wickets) and scored
more than 5,000 runs in Tests, making him one of the greatest all-rounders to have played the game. On 8 March
2010, Kapil Dev was inducted into the ICC
Cricket Hall of Fame
Kapil Dev was born as Kapil
Dev Ramlal Nikhanj to Ram Lal Nikhanj, a building and timber contractor and his
wife Raj Kumari in Chandigarh on 6 January
1959. His
parents had migrated from Rawalpindi during the Partition of India. Kapil Dev was a student at D.A.V. School and
joined Desh Prem Azad in 1971.
By the end of 1983, Kapil
already had about 250 Test wickets in just five years and looked well on his
way to becoming one of the most prolific wicket-takers ever. However, his
bowling declined following knee surgery in 1984, as he lost some of his
majestic jump at the crease. Despite this setback, he never missed playing a
single test or one-day game on fitness grounds (save for his disciplinary
ouster in the 3rd test at Calcutta during the 1984/85 series against England).
He continued to be effective, if not devastating, for another ten years and
became the second bowler ever to take 400 wickets in Test
cricket in 1991–92 when he took Mark
Taylor's wicket in a series versus Australia in
Australia. In that Australian tour he took 25 wickets.
Kapil continued as India's lead
pace bowler under a succession of captains in the early 1990s. He was involved
in a notable incident during the Lord's Test Match of 1990, when he hit
off-spinner Eddie Hemmings for four sixes in succession to take
India past the follow-on target. This match also featured the highest
test score by an Englishman against India, 333 by Graham Gooch. He was also cited
by umpire Dickie Bird as being one of the greatest
all-rounders of all-time.
He also
became a valuable batsman in the ODI version of the game, being used as a
pinch-hitter to accelerate the run-scoring rate, usually in the final ten
overs, and relied upon to stabilise the innings in the event of a collapse. He
played in the 1992 Cricket World
Cup, which was his last, under the captaincy of Mohammad Azharuddin. He led the
bowling attack with younger talents like Javagal
Srinath and Manoj Prabhakar, who would eventually
succeed him as India's leading pace bowlers. He retired in 1994, after breaking Richard Hadlee's then standing record
for the most Test wickets taken.
