The court decided that defining "marriage" as a union between one man and one woman (as husband and wife) was unconstitutional (against the Constitution).
This specifically related to Section 3 of the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA), a law passed in 1996.
This defined "marriage" for federal (national) law in the United States.
It defined it as being between one man and one woman.
In United States v. Windsor, the court decided that this definition was against the Due Process Clause of the Fifth Amendment.
In the U.S., the Constitution protects the rights of citizens, and no individual law can take those rights away.
The basis for the case was the right to benefits for same-sex married couples; the same right held by heterosexual married couples.
Edith Windsor and Thea Spyer, a same-sex couple living in New York, were married in Canada in 2007.
Spyer died in 2009, leaving everything she owned to Windsor.
Under the law, widows do not have to pay tax on anything they inherited from their dead spouse.
Windsor tried to claim this exemption.
She was barred from doing so by Section 3 of DOMA, which said that the word "spouse" only applies to a marriage between a man and woman.
The Internal Revenue Service denied Windsor's claim, and demanded that she pay $363,053 in inheritance taxes.
After Windsor won the case, Time magazine named her the third most influential person of the year in 2013.

WCW Monday Nitro was a professional wrestling television program for World Championship Wrestling (WCW).
The show ran from September 4, 1995 to March 26, 2001 and had 288 episodes.
When Nitro debuted it started a ratings battle which became known as the Monday Night Wars between WCW and WWF which lasted almost six years.
WCW started the nWo storyline which helped them gain more viewers than the WWF.
They would continue to defeat the WWF in viewers for 84 consecutive weeks which forced WWF owner Vince McMahon to change the style of wrestling his promotion was doing and introduce The Attitude Era.
As the nWo storyline became stale, fans turned from WCW to watch the WWF.
"Fans, if you're even thinking about changing the channel to our competition, do not.
We understand that Mick Foley, who wrestled here at one time as Cactus Jack, is gonna win their World title.
That's gonna put some butts in the seats, heh."
Bischoff thought that in doing this, viewers would be put off by this and would not watch Raw.
His plan backfired however and a lot of Nitro viewers changed the channel to watch Raw because they were excited to see the underdog Foley win the championship.
The fans switched back to Nitro after Foley won but from that week on, Nitro was beat by Raw in the ratings by a large amount and WCW was never able to regain their former success.

The Kingdom of the East Saxons (), was also called the Kingdom of Essex.
It was one of the seven kingdoms of the Anglo-Saxon Heptarchy.
Essex was founded in the 6th century.
The kingdom of Essex covered the area of the modern English counties of Essex, Hertfordshire, Middlesex and (for a short while) Kent.
Kings of Essex frequently found themselves under the control of other Anglo-Saxon overlords.
The territory of the East Saxons included the two Roman provincial capitals of Colchester and, for a time, London.
In the Tribal Hidage the East Saxons were listed at 7,000 hides.
When they arrived in England the Saxons, like the Angles, Jutes and Frisians, were Pagans.
After the Saxons gained control of Kent they set themselves up in the territory of Essex.
The first attempts to convert the East Saxons to Christianity came in 604 with the arrival of Bishop (later Saint) Mellitus in London.
Athelberht (King of Kent was the overlord of southern England and helped in the conversion of King Saebert of Essex.
Athelberht built and endowed St. Pauls in London, where St. Paul’s Cathedral now stands.
After the death of Saebert in 616, Mellitus was driven out and the kingdom reverted to paganism.
King Oswi of Northumbria convinced King Sigebert of Essex to become Christian.
Sigebert then invited Chad to become Bishop of London.
By 874 the Great Heathen Army held much of Essex.
They established bases from which they attacked other parts of England.
In 825 the kingdom of the East Saxons became part of Wessex.

Club" after the name of the building at which its members met.
In 1931, the Delegacy was officially renamed "St. Catherine's Society".
The Society obtained authority to become a full college in 1956.

Mikhail Borisovich Khodorkovsky (born 26 June 1963) is a Russian businessman.
In 2005 he was put in prison for not paying taxes.
On 20 December 2013 Putin let him out of prison.
He lives in London, having been more recently convicted in absentee of murder for hire.
Khodorkovsky was born in Moscow to a Jewish father and Russian mother.
He went to the Mendeleev Chemistry and Technology Institute.
Once the richest man in Russia
In 2003, Khodorkovsky was named Person of the Year by Expert, sharing this title with Roman Abramovich and, in 2004, Khodorkovsky was the wealthiest man in Russia and one of the richest people in the world, ranked 16th on Forbes list of billionaires.
After the dissolution of the Soviet Union, Khodorkovsky accumulated wealth by developing Siberian oil fields.
He was the head of Yukos, one of the largest Russian companies to emerge from the privatization of state assets in the 1990s.
He was arrested on 25 October 2003.
The government under Vladimir Putin then froze shares of Yukos shortly thereafter on tax charges.
The state took further actions against Yukos, leading to a collapse of the company's share price.
This destroyed most of Khodorkovsky's wealth.
He was found guilty and sentenced to nine years in prison in May 2005.
While still serving his sentence, Khodorkovsky and his business partner Platon Lebedev were further charged and found guilty of embezzlement and money laundering in December 2010, extending his prison sentence to 2014.
There is widespread concern internationally that the trials and sentencing were politically motivated.
During Putin's presidency, it became clear that many state assets had been sold far below their true value.
This was shown as soon as shares became available on the open market.
The conspiracy theory is that, wanting to recapture Yukos for the state, a way was sought to put an end to Khodorovsky's control.
There was a confrontation between state auditors and Yukos auditors as to the extent of Yukos' profits.
It was claimed for Yukos that a large part of the profits were covered by investments in plant (pipelines, etc.),
and exploration.
The upshot was that Khodorovsky was charged with tax evasion.
The trial process was criticised abroad for its lack of due process.
Khodorkovsky lodged several applications to the European Court of Human Rights.
In response to his first application, which concerned events from 2003 to 2005, the court found that several violations were committed by the Russian authorities in their treatment of Khodorkovsky.
In particular, the court ruled that Khodorkovsky's arrest was "unlawful as it had been made with a purpose different from the one expressed."
Despite these findings, the court ultimately ruled that the trial was not politically motivated, but rather "that the charges against him were grounded in 'reasonable suspicion'".
Khodorkovsky’s group established Quadrum Atlantic SPC in the Cayman Islands with $35 Billion siphoned through Cyprus shell companies.
In 2013, the former Yukos managers transitioned these funds through the management of Quadrum Global, appointing Oleg Pavlov as its director, now employing Baron Property Group to facilitate the laundering of dark money into US real estate .

In real estate, a short sale is a way for a homeowner to avoid a foreclosure.
In both situations, the homeowner is at least several months behind on payments.
In a foreclosure, the bank or lending institution seizes the house, and they now own it and have to try to sell it themselves (or through an agency).
In a short sale, the homeowner agrees with the bank to sell it for less than it is worth on the market.
The banks would maybe agree to this because it means the house will get sold, saving them the selling responsibility.
But they are losing money, because the house is selling for less than it is worth.
Sometimes, they make the homeowner pay the balance, and sometimes they forgive it.
Short sales are not always a great deal because of the highly inflated prices of the housing bubble.
For example, if a house that normally costs $100,000 was suddenly 'valued' at $200,000, and someone got a loan for that amount, they would want to re-sell it for $200,000 or even more to make a profit.
However, values dropped.
So now, they may short sell (less than it is worth) the house for $175,000, and lose $25,000.
But to a new buyer, that $100,000 house is probably still not worth $175,000.
So see what the average is for that house over time.

South West Africa (; ; ) was the name used for Namibia when it was ruled by the German Empire and later Union of South Africa and Republic of South Africa.
German colony
From 1884 to 1915, South West Africa was a German colony under the name of German South West Africa (, DSWA).
Germany had a difficult time ruling the territory, and it experienced many insurgencies.
The main port city, Walvis Bay, and the Penguin Islands were annexed by  Great Britain in 1878 as a part of the Cape Colony, which became a part of the Union of South Africa on 31 May 1910.
In 1915, South Africa captured the German colony.
It became a League of Nations Mandate territory, with the Union of South Africa administering it.
In 1946, the League of Nations was replaced by the United Nations.
The Mandate was supposed to become a Trust Territory when the League of Nations Mandates were transferred to the control of the UN.
However, South Africa refused, regarding the territory as its fifth province (even though it was never formally incorporated into the Union of South Africa).
In 1966, the United Nation terminated the Mandate and said that South Africa had no right to administer South West Africa any more, but South Africa refused.
In 1971, the South African occupation of the territory was illegal and that they should leave, but South Africa still refused.
On 21 March 1990, South Africa granted independence to the territory, which became the Republic of Namibia.
However, Walvis Bay and the Penguin Islands only became a part of Namibia in 1994.

Athelfrith († 616), in 593 became King of Bernicia.
In 604 he conquered Deira and became the first King of Northumbria.
Aethelfrith was the first great leader among the Angles north of the River Humber.
Bede called him an ambitious and powerful king who cruelly ravaged the Britons more than any other English leader.
He was killed in battle against the East Angles.
King of Bernicia
Athelfrith was the son of Athelric of Bernicia and grandson of Ida of Bernicia.
In 593 Athelfrith became King of Bernicia.
According to Frank Stenton "The continuous history of Northumbria, and indeed of England, begins with the reign of Athelfrith..." Among the northern Angles, Aethelfrith was the first great leader.
He gained more territory from the Britons than any other English leader.
In 595 a large force of Britons, Gaels and Picts came together at Din Eydin (Edinburgh).
They attacked the Angles of Bernicia at a place identified as Catterick.
Among those killed at this battle called Catraeth, was Owen of Rheged, Athelfrith's enemy.
Owen had killed Athelfrith's father, Athelric.
The remaining force of Britons, Gaels and Picts was completely defeated, most of them being killed.
In 603 Athelfrith fought another great battle at a place called Degsastan.
Dál Riatan Scots, under their king Aedan mac Gabrain came against the English and were completely defeated.
Athelfrith's victory eliminated the Scots as a threat for a long period of time in northern Britain.
Bede, writing in 731, wrote that up to his day no king of the Scots had attempted to wage war against the northern English again.
The only remaining enemy to cause Athelfrith any concern was the Britons of Strathclyde.
In 604 Athelfrith attacked Deira to his south.
King Athelric of Deira was killed.
Athelfrith also tried to kill Edwin of Deira, Athelric's brother, but Edwin escaped.
He took Edwin's sister, Achaas, as his second wife.
In 605 Athelfrith united the two kingdoms, Bernicia and Deira, into a single kingdom called Northumbria.
He must have spent the next few years setting up ways to govern such a large territory.
He almost certainly set up fortifications as well.
By 613 Athelfrith began trying to capture Edwin who had since been in exile in Gwnedd and Powys.
He moved his army across the Pennines to Chester.
When several monks were sent by the Britons to negotiate with Athelfrith they were killed.
Between 613 and 616 Athelfrith defeated the Britons in battle at Chester.
Edwin escaped again this time to Mercia, then to East Anglia.
Athelfrith wanted the king, Raedwald of East Anglia, to murder Edwin, but he would not.
Concerned that Athelfrith might attack East Anglia, Raedwald took his army and attacked Athelfrith.
The two armies met at the River Idle near Doncaster.
Not seeing the East Angles as a major threat, Athelfrith brought a smaller army.
Athelfrith was killed after he was separated from his bodyguards.
Edwin returned to Northumbria to become the king.
At Athelfrith's death his family fled north to find safety.
Eanfrith, the eldest son, found safety with the Picts.
He married the sister of Gartnait, King of the Picts.
His half-brothers Oswald and Oswiu found safety with the Scots in Argyll.
Athelfrith took a British or Pictish wife named Bebbe.
The Bernician royal city of Bamburgh is named for her.
Their only son was:
Eanfrith of Bernicia (590–634)
Athelfrith married secondly,  Acha, sister of Edwin of Deira and daughter of Aelle of Deira.
Oswald of Northumbria (–642)
Oswiu of Northumbria|Oswiu (–15 February 670)
Oswudu of Northumbria
Oslac of Northumbria

Dál Riata (also Dalriada or Dalriata) was a Gaelic kingdom on the western coast of Scotland.. Beginning in the early 5th century Dál Riata covered the area of what is now Argyll and Bute and Lochaber in Scotland.
They came from the area of County Antrim in Northern Ireland where they were called 'Scots'.
Other groups from Ireland followed.
These groups also established themselves on the west coast as far south as Cornwall.
The colony from Irish Dál Riata were known as the Scotti to the Romans.
It was this group that later gave their name to Scotland.
At the time they began to colonize Dál Riata, the only other people living in the far north of Britain were the Picts.
They occupied the eastern part of Scotland north of what is now Edinburgh.
About A.D. 297 they were mentioned by Roman writers regarding an attack along Hadrian's Wall.
Even at this early period the Romans encountered Irish Scotti assisting the Picts even though they had not yet moved there permanently.
So the two groups were seen by the Romans to be allies.
How Dál Riata in Scotland was seen as a colony still controlled from Ireland is not clear to modern historians.
Some view the Dál Riatans as having their own local kings with their overlord in Ireland.
Others saw it as being ruled by one king.
Dál Riata became the home of the Irish monk Saint Columba.
He established a Christian community on the isle of Iona.
He brought Christianity to the whole of Scotland, Gaels and Picts.
The kingdom rose to power under their king Aedan mac Gabrain.
He became their king in 574.
In 603 Aedan led his people against Athelfrith of Bernicia at a place called Degsastan.
The Scots were completely defeated.
Defeats in Ireland and Scotland during the reign of Domnall Brecc (d. 642) ended Dál Riata's dominance.
The kingdom came under the control of Northumbria, then subject to the Picts.
The kingdom's independence ended in the Viking Age, as it merged with the lands of the Picts to form the Kingdom of Alba.

Low voltage ride through (LVRT) is the capability of an electrical device to function normally during periods of low voltage.
Many electrical devices in general must have a minimum amount of voltage for them to be able to work.
If the voltage is too low the equipment will not work correctly or the efficiency will be reduced.
Distributed generation is the electricity generation system in which the electricity is being produced from many small power sources connected to the electrical grid.
Distributed generation allows the collection of energy from many scattered sources to improve the security of an electricity supply.

Below are the 50 brightest individual stars in order of their average apparent magnitudes in the visible spectrum as seen from Earth.
To the naked eye on a clear dark night, in a place far from cities and lights, the total number of stars visible is about 9000.
This is not the same as a list of the brightest stars as seen with the naked eye, because close binary or multiple star systems will appear as a single star brighter than their individual components.
The binary system Alpha Centauri has an apparent magnitude of -0.27, but the brightest individual star is Alpha Centauri A with the apparent magnitude as listed here of -0.01.
Hence Alpha Centauri is the third brightest star in the night sky, whilst its brightest component Alpha Centauri A is the fourth brightest individual star.
