Ajaxo Inc. v. E*Trade Financial Corp., 187 Cal.App.4th 1295 (2010), is the second appeal on a dispute dated back to 1999.
 During the original 2000 case, defendant E*Trade, an online financial services company, was found liable for maliciously and willfully misappropriating trade secrets pertaining to wireless stock trading technology acquired from the plaintiff, Ajaxo.
 Under the Uniform Trade Secrets Act E*Trade was required under a mutually signed Non-disclosure agreement (NDA) to keep Ajaxo’s trade secrets confidential.
 After a jury trial in 2003, E*Trade was fined $1.3 million to be paid to Ajaxo for the misappropriation and breach of NDA.
 The court denied Ajaxo’s request for additional damages.
 All parties appealed.
 In 2005 the California courts of appeal affirmed the original ruling but remanded the case back to the trial court to determine additional damages.
 A jury verdict in 2008 rejected claims raised and demands for royalty damages from Ajaxo.
 In trade secret cases it is common for a plaintiff to seek royalty damages when they are unable to show an actual loss or that the defendant received some inequitable benefit from the misappropriation.
 In this case the court refused to allow evidence of royalty damages, claiming there were no net damages.
 Ajaxo appealed.
 In 2010 the California courts of appeal once again remanded the case back to the trial court reasoning that in such cases an exact quantitative measure of wrongful enrichment damages incurred by the plaintiff might not be sufficient to reject the claim of reasonable royalties based damages
The White River is a 722-mile (1,162-km) long river that flows through the U.S. states of Arkansas and Missouri.
 Originating in the Boston Mountains of northwest Arkansas, it flows northwards into southern Missouri, and then turns back into Arkansas, flowing southeast to its mouth at the Mississipi River.
The Great Flood of 1913 occurred between March 23 and March 26, after major rivers in the central and eastern United States flooded from runoff and several days of heavy rain.
 Related deaths and damage in the United States were widespread and extensive.
 While the exact number is not certain, flood-related deaths in Ohio, Indiana, and eleven other states are estimated at approximately 650.
 The official death toll range for Ohio falls between 422 and 470.
 Flood-related death estimates in Indiana range from 100 to 200.
 More than a quarter million people were left homeless.
 The death toll from the flood of 1913 places it second to the Johnstown Flood of 1889 as one of the deadliest floods in the United States.
 The flood remains Ohio's largest weather disaster.
 In the Midwest damage estimates exceeded a third of a billion dollars.
 Damage from the Great Dayton Flood at Dayton, Ohio, exceeded $73 million.
 Indiana’s damages were estimated at $25 million (in 1913 dollars).
 Further south, along the Mississippi River, damages exceeded $200 million.
 Devastation from the flood of 1913 and later floods along the Mississippi River eventually changed the country's management of its waterways and increased federal support for comprehensive flood prevention and funding for flood control projects.
 The Ohio Conservancy Act, which was signed by the governor of Ohio in 1914, became a model for other states to follow.
 The act allowed for the establishment of conservancy districts with the authority to implement flood control projects.
The OHSU Knight Cancer Institute (previously the OHSU Cancer Institute) is a research institute within Oregon Health & Science University.
 The National Cancer Institute (NCI) designated cancer center is led by director Dr. Brian Druker.
 The institute is named after Phil Knight and his wife, who donated over $600 million to the center; $100 million in 2008 and $500 million in 2013.
 The $500 million gift required a matching $500 million, which led to a $100 million donation by Columbia Sportswear chairwoman Gert Boyle in 2014.
The 1979 Easter flood was among the most costly and devastating floods ever to occur in Mississippi, with $500-700 million in damages.
 This is equivalent to $ billion in present-day terms.
 It was the result of the Pearl River being overwhelmed by severe rain upstream.
 Floodwaters sent the Pearl 15 feet above flood stage.
 More than 17,000 residents of Jackson, Flowood, Pearl, Richland and other communities were forced from their homes.
 The flooding of the Pearl River placed most of Jackson, the state's capital city, under water.
Pennsylvania approved a bill that establishes a $500 million fund to support renewable energy projects.
 Special Session House Bill 1 authorizes the Commonwealth Financing Authority to borrow $500 million, most of which will be split into six funding sources relating to energy efficiency and renewable energy: $80 million in grants and loans for solar energy projects; $100 million in grants, loans, and rebates for up to 35% of the cost of solar energy projects at residences and small businesses; $165 million in grants and loans for alternative energy projects, excluding solar energy, at businesses and local government facilities; $25 million for wind and geothermal energy projects; $40 million to help start-up businesses involved in energy efficiency technologies; and $25 million in grants and loans to improve the energy efficiency of new and existing homes and small business buildings.
 An additional $65 million will go toward pollution control technologies and to help low-income families pay their energy bills.
Mississippi is a state in the southern region of the United States, with part of its southern border formed by the Gulf of Mexico.
 Its western border is formed by the Mississippi River.
Bangladesh–Japan relations (Bengali: বাংলাদেশ-জাপান সম্পর্ক , Japanese: 日本とバングラデシュの関係 ) were established on 10 February 1972.
 By 2011, the bilateral annual trade of these two countries was US$500–700 million.
 As of 2016, the bilateral annual trade increased to US$10.24 billion and has been hoped to increase US$40–50 billion by 2050.
The Dasu Dam is a gravity dam currently being constructed on the Indus River near Dasu in Kohistan District, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Province, Pakistan.
 The 242 m tall dam will support a 4,320 MW hydroelectric power station which will be built in two 2,160 MW stages.
 Water from the reservoir will be diverted to the power station located about 3.5 km downstream.
 The first stage was approved by the Executive Committee of the National Economic Council on 29 March 2014.
 That stage will cost an estimated US$4.278 billion.
 Funding is being provided by the World Bank (US$700 million), the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China (US$1.5 billion), Deutsche Bank (US$1 billion) and Aga Khan Development Network (US$500 Million).
 Completion of stage one is expected in March 2019.
 Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif attended the dam's groundbreaking ceremony on 25 June 2014.
The Red River flood of 1997 was a major flood that occurred in April and May 1997 along the Red River of the North in Minnesota, North Dakota, and Southern Manitoba.
 It was the most severe flood of the river since 1826.
 The flood reached throughout the Red River Valley, affecting the cities of Fargo and Winnipeg, but none so greatly as Grand Forks and East Grand Forks, where floodwaters reached more than 3 mi inland.
 They inundated virtually everything in the twin communities.
 Total damages for the Red River region were US$3.5 billion.
 The flood was the result of abundant snowfall and extreme temperatures.
