==Criticism==
Akademsika Hus has been criticised by the presidents of [[KTH Royal Institute of Technology|KTH]] and [[Chalmers University of Technology|CTH]] for taking out rents that are far above market value.

In 2011, [[Westminster City Council]] renewed the contract for CityWest Homes.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.insidehousing.co.uk/tenancies/council-set-to-renew-contract-with-almo/6517148.article |title=Council set to renew contract with ALMO | News | Inside Housing |accessdate=2013-08-01 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20140304071655/http://www.insidehousing.co.uk/tenancies/council-set-to-renew-contract-with-almo/6517148.article |archivedate=4 March 2014 |df=dmy-all }}</ref> The contract was expected to run until 2022.<ref>{{cite web|last1=Westminster City Council|title=CityWest Homes Committee report 10th September 2013|url=http://transact.westminster.gov.uk/CSU/Policy_and_Scrutiny_Committees/Current_P_and_S_Committees/Housing,%20Finance%20and%20Customer%20Services/2013-14/10%20September%202013/Item%206%20CWH%20Performance%20Update%20PS%20Report%20August%202013%20(5).docx|accessdate=24 July 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140729064933/http://transact.westminster.gov.uk/CSU/Policy_and_Scrutiny_Committees/Current_P_and_S_Committees/Housing,%20Finance%20and%20Customer%20Services/2013-14/10%20September%202013/Item%206%20CWH%20Performance%20Update%20PS%20Report%20August%202013%20(5).docx|archive-date=29 July 2014|url-status=dead}}</ref> The former Westminster Council’s head of housing, the controversial councillor Jonathan Glanz<ref>{{cite web|last1=The Standard|title=Westminster housing chief loses job for 'Made in Chelsea' jibe at council tenants|date=21 October 2013|url=https://www.standard.co.uk/news/london/westminster-housing-chief-loses-job-for-made-in-chelsea-jibe-at-council-tenants-8893753.html|accessdate=24 July 2014}}</ref> said the organisation’s performance was the main reason for supporting the renewal of the contract.<ref>{{cite web|last1=Government Opportunities|title=Council set to renew CityWest Homes contract|url=http://www.govopps.co.uk/council-set-to-renew-citywest-homes-contract/|accessdate=24 July 2014}}</ref>

However, since renewal of the contract, CityWest Homes has not been without controversy, particularly over its management of the [[Hallfield Estate]] refurbishment.<ref>{{cite web|last1=Inside Housing|title=Hallfield estate refurbishment contract terminated|url=http://www.insidehousing.co.uk/hallfield-estate-refurbishment-contract-terminated/7001496.article|accessdate=24 July 2014|url-status=dead|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20140812101900/http://www.insidehousing.co.uk/hallfield-estate-refurbishment-contract-terminated/7001496.article|archivedate=12 August 2014|df=dmy-all}}</ref>
CityWest Homes also came in for criticism from its tenants regarding poor maintenance and failure to tackle antisocial behaviour. This was highlighted in a 2017 independent review of CityWest Homes by Campbell Tickell for Westminster City Council "that residents are being failed by CityWest Homes".

CityWest Homes' management of services and estates was progressively rolled back and returned to Westminster City Council management, this unwinding of the ALMO was given impetus when poor housing management of various council ALMO’s came into the media spotlight following the 2017 [[Grenfell Tower fire|Grenfell tower block fire]]. In September 2018 The decision was taken to terminate CityWest Homes. On 31 March 2019 CityWest Homes ceased to exist and all remaining housing management functions were transferred back to Westminster City Council.{{Citation needed|date=October 2024}}

'''Comcast Spectacor''' is an American sports and entertainment company based in [[Philadelphia|Philadelphia, Pennsylvania]]. It owns the [[Philadelphia Flyers]] of the [[National Hockey League]], the [[Philadelphia Wings (2018–)|Philadelphia Wings]] of the [[National Lacrosse League]], the [[Seoul Infernal]]<ref>{{cite web |date=1 November 2017 |title=Presenting the Philadelphia Fusion |url=https://overwatchleague.com/en-us/news/21173803 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171101134835/https://overwatchleague.com/en-us/news/21173803 |archive-date=2017-11-01 |website=Overwatch League |language=en-us}}</ref> of the [[Overwatch League]], and formerly owned the [[Philadelphia 76ers]] of the [[National Basketball Association]] and the [[Maine Mariners (ECHL)|Maine Mariners]] of the [[ECHL]]. The company owns and manages the [[Wells Fargo Center (Philadelphia)|Wells Fargo Center]] and formerly managed the [[Spectrum (arena)|Spectrum]] in South Philadelphia, plus several community skating rinks in the Philadelphia region. The [[Comcast SportsNet]] (CSN) regional sports networks were also owned by Comcast Spectacor prior to parent company [[Comcast]]'s acquisition of [[NBCUniversal]] in January 2011; CSN is now operated through [[NBC Sports]].

The company was formed in 1974 by Flyers founder and chairman [[Ed Snider]] as '''Spectacor''', the parent company of both the Flyers and the Spectrum. Snider had been instrumental in getting the Spectrum built in 1967 and assumed control of the arena in 1971. He sold a 63% stake in Spectacor to [[Comcast]] in 1996 but remained as chairman of the renamed Comcast Spectacor. Shortly afterward, Comcast Spectacor bought the 76ers; as the Spectrum's owner, Snider had been the Sixers' landlord since 1971. Comcast Spectacor sold the 76ers to [[Josh Harris (businessman)|Josh Harris]] in 2011. In April 2016, Snider died at his home in California. On September 22, 2016, Comcast announced that it would buy out the remaining 24% that it did not already own.<ref>{{cite press release|title=Comcast Corporation To Acquire Ed Snider's Stake In Comcast Spectacor|url=http://corporate.comcast.com/news-information/news-feed/comcast-corporation-to-acquire-ed-sniders-stake-in-comcast-spectacor|website=corporate.comcast.com|language=en}}</ref>

== Company ==
Harry Litwin and his son Leonard began their careers in landscaping when they founded Woodbourne Cultural Nursery in Melville, Long Island. In the late 1950s, they ventured into building wood framed multifamily housing on Long Island and the outer boroughs of New York City. Their first large-scale project was in Briar Hill, Riverdale, NY. The property mixed suburban amenities with urban luxury living on a four-acre parcel, which included an Olympic-sized outdoor pool, snack bar, tennis courts, playground, and fitness center. In 1962, Glenwood expanded to Manhattan with the development of the Pavilion, a luxury rental building on the Upper East Side of Manhattan. Harry Litwin died during the Pavilion's construction, and Leonard took over management of the construction.<ref name="trd-2017-05-01"/>{<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.glenwoodnyc.com/properties/riverdale/|title=Riverdale NYC Luxury Apartments for Rent|website=Glenwood Management|access-date=May 8, 2017|archive-date=May 2, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170502174921/http://www.glenwoodnyc.com/properties/riverdale/|url-status=live}}</ref>

== The Pavilion ==
In 1962 Glenwood delivered its first property in Manhattan, The Pavilion. Comprising over 800 apartments, the Pavilion was so large it was given its own zip code. The project also earned Leonard Litwin a key to New York City, awarded to him by then-Mayor [[John Lindsay]]. The building was renowned for its size and pioneering amenities such as a grocery store, salon, shoe repair, a maid and butler service, and bus service to local shopping and the Lexington Avenue subway station.<ref name="trd-2017-05-01"/><ref name="About"/>

Glenwood continued to expand along the York Avenue corridor of the Upper East Side with The Andover, The Brittany, The Barclay, The Caldwell, The Hamilton, The Somerset and The Stratford. Following the success of these buildings, the company expanded their developments into the West Side, Midtown, Lincoln Center area, and Downtown. A champion of New York City's real estate industry, Glenwood showed its belief in Manhattan as it was the first developer to build Downtown following 9/11 with 10 Liberty Street. This building, Liberty Plaza, was added to The National Registrar of Historic Places.<ref name="nyt-2017-04-03"/><ref name="About"/>

== Glenwood's model ==
Glenwood provides apartment rentals that cater to various lifestyles, from single young professionals to mature families, as well as those in their golden years. It was an early innovator in offering rental tenants the same upscale amenities usually reserved for high-end condo and co-op buildings. All Glenwood buildings feature high-end finishes such as marble bathrooms, filtered water systems, luxury counter tops, stainless steel appliances, auxiliary services such as laundry valet and garages, and amenities such as lap pools, fitness centers, yoga studios and children's playrooms.<ref name="About"/>

== Social responsibility ==
The developers place emphasis on [[Green building|building green]]. Many of the company's latest buildings including Emerald Green, Crystal Green, Hawthorn Park and the Encore were built to meet LEED Certification Standards.<ref name="About"/>

== Charity ==
Glenwood is recognized for its various charitable and community oriented actions, which typically support the surrounding community. Glenwood supports Asphalt Green, a nonprofit located on the Upper East Side of Manhattan, which provides neighborhood adults and children with high caliber swimming and sports instruction. Maggie Siegel, executive director of Asphalt Green said “without Glenwood's vision and dedication, our Yorkville neighborhood would not be the thriving community that it is today.” Glenwood has supported Asphalt Green since its founding in 1984, as it strove to provide the greater community with free programs and scholarships that benefit over 30,000 children annually. In 2015, Glenwood was honored at Asphalt Green's 20th annual charity swim meet “The Big Swim.” The event raises money to fund free programs like swim lessons for public school students.

Glenwood has planted more than 150,000 tulip bulbs each year in the neighborhoods that its buildings are in and donates to the Central Park Conservancy, Lincoln center, the Met, PS 158 Bayard Taylor School, and several hospitals including NYU, Mt Sinai, Weill Cornell, Lenox Hill, Sloan Kettering Memorial, and North Shore/ LIJ.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.asphaltgreen.org/press-publicity/asphalt-greens-20th-annual-big-swim-meet-and-benefit|title=Asphalt Green's 20th Annual Big Swim® Meet and Benefit|website=Asphalt Green|access-date=May 8, 2017|archive-date=July 15, 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160715021743/http://www.asphaltgreen.org/press-publicity/asphalt-greens-20th-annual-big-swim-meet-and-benefit/|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Litwin-Zucker Center for Study of Alzheimer's Disease and Memory Disorders |url=http://www.alzforum.org/clinic/litwin-zucker-center-study-alzheimers-disease-and-memory-disorders |access-date=2024-10-25 |website=alzforum.org}}</ref><ref name="About"/>

In June 2022, JRK Property Holdings served eviction notices to 38 families at their residential complex: Redbank Village of South Portland, Maine. Acquired in late 2021, JRK Property Holdings immediately increased rent fees by 22% at the 40-year old complex. A CBS news affiliate, WGME, documented long-standing safety and health problems at Redbank Village apartments. And, WGME noted that Maine law stipulates "landlords must fix problems that are unsafe or could make you sick before they can charge more for rent." Evicted residents were less than a month behind in the excessive $2,400 monthly rent Redbank Village now charges. WGME stated that apartments range from 535 to 825 square foot and tenants pay all utilities, lawn care and snow removal services. The over 70 people to be evicted included some disabled and elderly.<ref name="CBS13">{{cite web | url=https://wgme.com/news/local/redbank-village-eviction-notices-south-portland-families | title='They don't care': Redbank Village serves eviction notices to South Portland families | date=6 June 2022 | publisher=WBME CBS13| accessdate=6 June 2022}}</ref>

'''Save the Elephants''' ('''STE''') was founded in 1993 by [[Iain Douglas-Hamilton]]. A research and conservation organization, Save the Elephants (STE) is a UK-registered charity headquartered in Nairobi with its principal research station in Samburu National Reserve in northern Kenya.

STE's mission is to secure a future for elephants and sustain the beauty and ecological integrity of the places they live, to promote man's delight in their intelligence and the diversity of their world, and to develop a tolerant relationship between the two species.

The elephants of Samburu are now one of the best-studied elephant populations in the world, with detailed histories of almost 1,000 individuals and their interactions over the last 29 years. Data from their behaviour and population dynamics have allowed scientists to understand the impacts of the ivory poaching crisis on populations across Africa.

Pioneers in radio and GPS tracking of elephants, STE works to understand ecosystems from an elephant's perspective. Real-time information on their movements is proving a powerful tool to protect herds from poachers, and long-term data allows us to influence landscape planning to take elephants into account.In 2013 STE launched the Elephant Crisis Fund run jointly with the Wildlife Conservation Network to fuel the growing coalition of organisations that are working to stop the killing, stop the trafficking and end the demand for ivory to secure a future for elephants. Since then, the ECF has funded 104 partners conducting 415 projects in 44 countries across Africa and Asia, with 100% of funds raised reaching the field.

===Agrofuels===

Along with three other environmental groups ([[European Federation for Transport and Environment|Transport and Environment]], the [[European Environmental Bureau]] and [[BirdLife International]]), ClientEarth filed a lawsuit against the [[European Commission]] in March 2010. The groups sued the commission for not releasing important documents concerning [[biofuels]] in line with transparency rules.<ref name="EV20Sep">{{Cite news|url=http://www.europeanvoice.com/article/2010/09/eu-sued-for-lack-of-transparency/68922.aspx|title=EU sued for lack of transparency|date=20 September 2010|work=European Voice|access-date=30 May 2011}}</ref>

===Coal industry===

ClientEarth have taken over 75 legal interventions against coal across ten countries. Their work focuses on using the law to close coal plants or stop new coal plants being built. Their key successes include:

'''Bełchatów, Poland'''
[[Bełchatów Coal Mine]] is Europe's largest coal plant and its carbon emissions are equivalent to those of the whole of New Zealand. ClientEarth took a legal challenge to eliminate the plant's carbon footprint by 2035. Their lawsuit demands the plant operators, state-owned power giant Polska Grupa Energetyczna, stop burning lignite or take measures to eliminate the plant's carbon emissions, by 2035.

ClientEarth is also challenging the operation of two neighbouring opencast mines, arguing that lignite mining causes significant disturbance to groundwater levels and releases toxic heavy metals into surrounding water and soil.<ref name="The Guardian"/>

In 2011,<ref name="China Dialogue" /> ClientEarth challenged plans by company Polenergia had planned to construct a 1.6GW coal power plant, called Północ (''{{lang-en|North}}''), near [[Pelplin]].<ref name="Emerging Europe" /> The plant would have been the largest new installation of its kind in the EU emitting 8 million tons of CO2 a year.<ref name="China Dialogue">{{Cite news|url=https://www.chinadialogue.net/article/show/single/en/11846-China-should-allow-lawsuits-before-environmentally-risky-projects-begin|title=China should allow lawsuits before environmentally risky projects begin|date=10 February 2020|work=China Dialogue|access-date=11 March 2020}}</ref>
The permit for the plant ignored glaring environmental issues. Following a complaint by ClientEarth's environmental lawyers and a multi-year legal battle, Poland's Supreme Administrative Court ruled that the Północ coal plant will never be built.<ref name="Emerging Europe">{{Cite news|url=https://emerging-europe.com/news/polish-court-blocks-controversial-coal-fired-power-plant/|title=Polish court blocks controversial coal-fired power plant|date=25 June 2019|work=Emerging Europe|access-date=11 March 2020}}</ref>

In October 2018, ClientEarth filed a challenge against Enea over [[financial risk]]s to investors amid rising carbon prices, cheaper renewables and EU reforms on state subsidies for coal power plants.<ref name="MontelNews">{{Cite news|url=https://www.montelnews.com/en/story/green-groups-welcome-suspension-of-1-gw-polish-coal-plant/1087631|title=Green groups welcome suspenstion of 1 GW Polish coal plant|date=14 February 2020|work=MontelNews|access-date=11 March 2020}}</ref> The courts ruled in August 2019 that the decision to proceed with the project had never been valid. In a separate decision, the courts demanded that the company publish documents that would explain how the plant would be profitable.<ref name="TheEcologist" /> ClientEarth won this case too against the project's sponsors. In February 2020 Polish authorities announced they will suspend funding to the country's last planned new coal plant, [[Ostrołęka Power Station|Ostrołęka C]]. ClientEarth hailed it 'the end for new coal' in Europe.

'''Rovinari, Romania'''
In 2019, ClientEarth submitted a legal challenge against the permit for a coal-fired power plant in [[Rovinari]], a town in southwestern Romania. The plant ranks among Europe's worst for its impact on human health.<ref name="ClimateLiabilityNews">{{Cite web|url=https://www.climatedocket.com/2019/06/10/romania-coal-climate-change/|title=Romania Faces Legal Challenge for Coal Plant's Lifetime Permit|date=10 June 2019|website=The Climate Docket|access-date=11 March 2020|archive-date=2020-11-08 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201108000505/https://www.climatedocket.com/2019/06/10/romania-coal-climate-change |url-status=live}}</ref>

'''Meliti I and II, Greece'''
ClientEarth launched a legal challenge that sought to revoke a permit for two coal-fired power plants in Greece – Meliti I and its sister plant Meliti II. ClientEarth asserted that Greece did not carry out an environmental impact assessment on the plant's impact on health, the environment or the climate, breaching EU laws.<ref name="Reuters">{{Cite news|url=https://www.reuters.com/article/us-greece-power-environment-idUSKCN1MP1O0 |title=Environmental group seeks to revoke Greek coal power plants permit|date=15 October 2018|work=Reuters|access-date=11 March 2020}}</ref> In January 2020 the Greek Council of State cancelled the permits.

==== State aid ====

Along with [[Greenpeace]], [[World Wide Fund for Nature|WWF]], Spanish energy companies and the regional authority of [[Galicia (Spain)|Galicia]], ClientEarth has intervened regarding the European Commission's decision to approve subsidies to the Spanish coal industry. The approved plan gives preferential access to the wholesale electricity market in Spain for power plants that run on domestic coal. Spanish electricity utilities, including [[Gas Natural]], [[Iberdrola]] and [[Endesa (Spain)|Endesa]] have claimed that this will force them to withdraw from contracts for cheaper imported coal and buy more expensive, lower-quality domestic coal, while the parties have also argued that the decision breaches European laws on state aid and the environment, and that the Spanish government aid will unfairly skew the European energy market. ClientEarth also expressed concern that, if the decision was allowed to stand, other countries may be tempted to use similar tactics to bolster their coal sectors. They and the other environmental groups rejected Spain's position that it was attempting to protect the nation's energy security, arguing that the country has an oversupply of natural gas and, at times, renewable energy.<ref name="FT15Feb">{{Cite news|url=http://www.ft.com/cms/s/0/2d8c92ae-3908-11e0-b0f6-00144feabdc0.html#axzz1NFoXtj1m|title=Opposition to Spanish coal subsidies grows|date=15 February 2011|work=Financial Times|access-date=30 May 2011}}</ref><ref name="Reuters18Feb">{{Cite news|url=https://www.steelguru.com/steel/eu-court-backs-spain-coal-aid-for-now/192006|title=EU court backs Spain coal aid for now|date=18 February 2011|agency=Reuters|access-date=30 May 2011}}</ref>

===Company reporting===
ClientEarth brings legal interventions designed to integrate climate-related financial risks into corporate and financial decision making.

In February 2020 their CEO James Thornton wrote a letter to Barclays' chairman warning of the risks associated with continuing to invest in fossil fuels. The letter urged the bank's chairman to toughen the lender's rules on the energy industry.<ref name="The Telegraph">{{Cite news|url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/business/2020/02/26/campaign-group-urges-barclays-show-leadership-shun-fossil-fuels/|title=Campaign group urges Barlcays to show leadership and shun fossil fuels|date=26 February 2020|work=TheTelegraph2020|access-date=25 March 2020}}</ref>

ClientEarth also provided support to the Church Commissioners for England's call for commodities giant Glencore to significantly strengthen its commitment to [[climate change mitigation|combat climate change]]. In February 2019 Glencore announced it has agreed to align its business and investments with the goals of the Paris Agreement on climate change.<ref name="IPE">{{Cite news|url=https://www.ipe.com/investors-welcome-mining-sector-first-as-glencore-amends-climate-policy/10029649.article|title=Investors welcome mining sector first as Glencore amends climate policy|date=21 February 2019|work=IPE|access-date=25 March 2020}}</ref>

In 2018, ClientEarth lawyers reported Easyjet, Balfour Beatty, EnQuest and Bodycote to the Financial Reporting Council following concerns that they failed to address climate change threats in their reports to shareholders.<ref name="The Telegraph2018">{{Cite news|url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/business/2018/09/17/easyjet-among-firms-reported-audit-watchdog-big-four-dragged/|title=Easyjet among firms reported to audit watchdog as Big Four dragged into climate change row|date=17 September 2018|work=TheTelegraph|access-date=25 March 2020}}</ref>
In August 2018 ClientEarth reported three large British insurance companies – Lancashire, Admiral and Phoenix – to the Financial Conduct Authority for failing to explain the risks from climate change. They called for the Financial Conduct Authority to fine the three companies and compel them to publish more information.<ref name="Financial Times">{{Cite news|url=https://www.ft.com/content/38708e64-9670-11e8-b67b-b8205561c3fe|title=UK insurers attacked over climate risk omissions|date=6 August 2018|work=TheFinancialTimes|access-date=25 March 2020}}</ref>

ClientEarth have written to the [[Financial Reporting Review Panel]] asking that they properly enforce the [[Companies Act]], the law regarding company reporting of environmental and social issues. ClientEarth charge that such reports often do not adequately consider risks and impacts in these areas, and have proposed an overhaul of the law for when the Act is reviewed.<ref name="Diggingdeeper">{{Cite news|url=http://www.clientearth.org/reports/environmental-and-social-transparency-under-the-companies-act-2006-digging-deeper.pdf|title=Environmental and social transparency under the Companies Act 2006: Digging deeper|year=2010|publisher=Plymouth: Barbican Press |author=Bundock, B. |author2=Malloch, T. |author3=Thornton, J.|access-date=2011-05-24|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120311210407/http://www.clientearth.org/reports/environmental-and-social-transparency-under-the-companies-act-2006-digging-deeper.pdf|archive-date=2012-03-11|url-status=dead}}</ref>

In July 2010, ClientEarth made a specific complaint regarding mining company [[Rio Tinto Group|Rio Tinto]], arguing that statements in the company's annual reports contradicted accounts from other sources including government agencies, NGOs and journalists.<ref name="TG4Nov">{{Cite news|url=https://www.theguardian.com/sustainable-business/environmental-impact-greenwash-mining-sustainability?INTCMP=SRCH|title=Companies put on notice to report environmental impact of their work|date=4 November 2010|work=The Guardian|access-date=30 May 2011|location=London}}</ref> ClientEarth argued that, if verified, Rio Tinto's reports would not comply with British law.<ref name="SE25Aug">{{Cite news|url=http://www.socialenterpriselive.com/section/news/csr/20100825/mining-giant-complaint-could-change-impact-reporting|title=Mining giant complaint could change impact reporting|date=25 August 2010|work=Social Enterprise|access-date=30 May 2011|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111113012103/http://www.socialenterpriselive.com/section/news/csr/20100825/mining-giant-complaint-could-change-impact-reporting|archive-date=13 November 2011|url-status=dead}}</ref>

===Marine protection===

In 2008, ClientEarth sued the French government for failing to enforce a ban on [[drift net fishing]], but the claim was rejected by the French court in Paris. The court also declined a later request for an emergency order, that would have forced the government to intervene.<ref name="NYT1Mar" />

An investigation by ClientEarth in 2010 found that 32 of 100 fish product labels at nine supermarkets had unverified or misleading claims on sustainability or protection of the marine environment, such as "dolphin-friendly". In addition, the organisation expressed concern that labels often did not make clear that many fish products came from threatened stocks, or that they were caught using techniques that had potential to damage the environment or other species. ClientEarth called for supermarkets to remove or correct these labels, or risk breaching consumer protection laws.<ref name="TG10Jan">{{cite news|url=https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2011/jan/10/supermarkets-misleading-fish-labelling?INTCMP=SRCH|title=Supermarkets accused of 'misleading' fish labelling|date=10 January 2011|work=The Guardian|access-date=30 May 2011|location=London}}</ref><ref name="TT11Jan">{{cite news|url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/foodanddrink/8250917/Misleading-dolphin-friendly-claims-could-be-illegal.html|title=Misleading 'dolphin friendly' claims could be illegal|date=11 January 2011|work=The Telegraph|access-date=30 May 2011|location=London|first=Louise|last=Gray}}</ref>

In 2010, ClientEarth voiced its opposition to the EU's potential to force its member states' abstention from a vote regarding the introduction of whaling quotas. The EU had changed whale protection's categorisation from a conservation issue to a fisheries issue, which it believed would allow the forced abstention if the member states could not reach a unanimous agreement; ClientEarth argued that EU law did not allow for this re-classification, and that the instruction to abstain would be illegal as unanimity is not required on conservation issues. ClientEarth also noted that, where EU states cannot agree on international environmental issues, Union Laws require them to vote to protect and strengthen an existing EU position; thus, they argued that the member states should vote against the [[International Whaling Commission]]'s plan to allow the resumption of commercial whaling.<ref name="EV22Jun">{{cite news|url=http://www.europeanvoice.com/article/2010/06/the-eu-champion-of-whalers-/68314.aspx|title=The EU, champion of whalers?|date=22 June 2010|work=European Voice|access-date=30 May 2011}}</ref>

Also in 2010, ClientEarth highlighted to the EU fisheries ministers that, given the rapid decline of [[Atlantic bluefin tuna|bluefin tuna]] stocks, they were legally obliged to ban bluefin fishing in the [[Mediterranean]] and [[Atlantic]] for at least three years, from 2011 to 2013. ClientEarth also argued that France's overfishing in 2007 meant they should be banned from receiving any bluefin catch quota in 2011, and that Italy should also be penalised for overfishing, although less severely than France.<ref name="F2F26Oct">{{cite news|url=http://www.fish2fork.com/news-index/lawyers-call-for-three-year-ban-on-bluefin-tuna-catches.aspx?sc_lang=en|title=Lawyers call for three-year ban on bluefin tuna catches|date=26 October 2010|work=fish2fork|access-date=30 May 2011|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110723122918/http://www.fish2fork.com/news-index/lawyers-call-for-three-year-ban-on-bluefin-tuna-catches.aspx?sc_lang=en|archive-date=23 July 2011|url-status=dead}}</ref> However, following the meeting of the [[International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas]] (ICCAT), the European Council announced that it unanimously agreed to support total allowable catches (TACs) in line with ICCAT's scientific advice. ClientEarth argued that these TACs would mean only a 30-45 percent likelihood that bluefin levels would recover by 2020, despite EU law demanding that all fish stocks are at sustainable levels by this date.<ref name="FNEU19Nov">{{cite news|url=http://www.fishnewseu.com/latest-news/world/4734-eu-tuna-position-is-a-pitiful-compromise.html|title=EU tuna position is a "pitiful" compromise|date=19 November 2010|work=fishnewseu.com|access-date=30 May 2011|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110726102338/http://www.fishnewseu.com/latest-news/world/4734-eu-tuna-position-is-a-pitiful-compromise.html|archive-date=26 July 2011|url-status=dead}}</ref><ref name="SS19Nov">{{cite news|url=http://www.seafoodsource.com/newsarticledetail.aspx?id=8441|title=Environmentalists turn up heat on ICCAT|date=19 November 2010|work=SeafoodSource.com|access-date=30 May 2011|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110721164304/http://www.seafoodsource.com/newsarticledetail.aspx?id=8441|archive-date=21 July 2011|url-status=dead}}</ref>

===Oil industry===

==== BP plc ====

ClientEarth has complained to the Financial Reporting Review Panel regarding the activities of oil company [[BP]]. They argued that the company used a highly unrealistic scenario when predicting future energy demand, enabling them to justify continued investment in risky extraction methods.<ref name="TG28Feb">{{cite news|url=https://www.theguardian.com/sustainable-business/bp-complaint-deepwater-annual-reporting?INTCMP=SRCH|title=BP in deep water over annual reporting|date=28 February 2011|work=The Guardian|access-date=30 May 2011|location=London}}</ref>

==== Shell plc ====

In early{{nbhyph}}2022, ClientEarth began [[civil procedure|civil proceedings]] against the 13{{nbsp}}directors of the UK{{nbhyph}}based [[Shell plc|Shell{{nbsp}}plc]] [[oil major]] in an attempt to hold these individuals personally responsible for failing to adequately prepare the company for a transition to [[carbon neutrality]]. More specifically ClientEarth asserts that these individuals have a [[fiduciary duty]] under the [[Companies Act 2006|UK{{nbsp}}Companies Act]] to operate in accordance with the 2015 [[Paris Agreement]]. ClientEarth lawyer Paul Benson remarked that "it's the first time that anyone has sought to hold the board accountable for failing to properly prepare for the net{{nbsp}}zero transition". If the case fails, the judge may well rule that ClientEarth covers the legal costs of the defendants.<ref name="gayle-2022">

===Transparency===

In 2010, ClientEarth filed a lawsuit against the [[Council of the European Union]], regarding plans to revise the EU's 2002 access-to-documents law, which gives individuals the right to view internal EU documents. ClientEarth sued the Council over its alleged failure to disclose its in-house legal opinion about the review of the 2002 rules.<ref name="EV20Sep" />

'''PADI AWARE Foundation''' is an environmental [[nonprofit organization]] with three registered charities in the [[United Kingdom]], [[United States]], and [[Australia]]. Their mission is to drive local initiatives contributing to [[Ocean conservation|global ocean conservation]] efforts, through engagement with the international community of professional and recreational scuba divers via the [[Professional Association of Diving Instructors]] (PADI).

==Background==
In 1989, the Professional Association of Diving Instructors (PADI) established the Project AWARE Foundation as a commitment to ocean protection.<ref name="our story">{{cite web |title = Our Story |url = http://www.projectaware.org/about-movement |website = Project AWARE |access-date = 3 February 2016 |url-status = dead |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20160209125925/http://www.projectaware.org/about-movement |archive-date = 9 February 2016 }}</ref><ref name="Cater2001">{{cite book |last1=Cater |first1=C |last2=Cater |first2=E |page=271 |title=Marine environments In: Weaver, DB.

==Activities==
PADI AWARE Foundation manages four programs through public funding: marine debris,<ref>{{Cite web |title=AWARE: Marine Debris Program |url=https://www.padi.com/aware/marine-debris |access-date=2022-11-29 |website=PADI |language=en}}</ref> shark protection,<ref>{{Cite web |title=AWARE: Shark & Ray Program |url=https://www.padi.com/aware/sharks |access-date=2022-11-29 |website=PADI |language=en}}</ref> community grants<ref>{{Cite web |title=Meet Your 2022 AWARE Grantees |url=https://www.padi.com/aware/Grantees |access-date=2022-11-29 |website=PADI |language=en}}</ref> and Marine Protected Areas (MPAs).<ref>{{Cite web |title=Marine Protected Areas |url=https://www.padi.com/conservation/mpa |access-date=2022-11-29 |website=PADI |language=en}}</ref> These programs provide tools and resources to engage the public and scuba divers in activities such as citizen science, education, advocacy (letter writing campaigns, petitions and photo campaigns) to advance more significant action on the key threats facing the ocean.

In 2011, the organization announced a focus on the removal of marine debris, encouraging volunteer divers from around the world to actively remove trash from the seafloor. This program established the organization's flagship citizen science program, Dive Against Debris,<ref>{{Cite web |title=Dive Against Debris® Map {{!}} PADI AWARE |url=https://www.diveagainstdebris.org/ |access-date=2022-11-29 |website=www.diveagainstdebris.org}}</ref> and has created the largest underwater citizen science program and movement on the planet with over 100,000 divers reporting from 117 countries. In 2020, PADI AWARE Foundation published the data analyzing coastal debris across land and seafloor habitat, in collaboration with Ocean Conservancy, in Science Direct.<ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Roman |first1=Lauren |last2=Hardesty |first2=Britta Denise |last3=Leonard |first3=George H. |last4=Pragnell-Raasch |first4=Hannah |last5=Mallos |first5=Nicholas |last6=Campbell |first6=Ian |last7=Wilcox |first7=Chris |date=2020-09-01 |title=A global assessment of the relationship between anthropogenic debris on land and the seafloor |url=https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0269749120302141 |journal=Environmental Pollution |language=en |volume=264 |pages=114663 |doi=10.1016/j.envpol.2020.114663 |pmid=32388297 |s2cid=218585971 |issn=0269-7491}}</ref>

The protection of sharks and rays, critical species to shark tourism, is a core policy focus of the organization. In 2021, the Foundation rallied divers to advocate for protections for [[Mako sharks|Mako Sharks]]. Alongside shark partners and allies, the Foundation pressured governments to adopt a ban on the catching of vulnerable species.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2021-11-30 |title=Mako Sharks Win International Protection - DeeperBlue.com |url=https://www.deeperblue.com/mako-sharks-win-international-protection/ |access-date=2022-11-29 |website=www.deeperblue.com |language=en-US}}</ref>

In 2021, PADI AWARE Foundation committed to the PADI Blueprint for Ocean Action, joining the United Nations’ universal call for a Decade of Action to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), specifically supporting the implementation of SDG14 – Life Below Water.<ref>{{Cite web |last=padiproseurope |date=2021-04-21 |title=PADI and PADI AWARE Foundation Announce Blueprint for Ocean Action |url=https://pros-blog.padi.com/padi-and-padi-aware-foundation-announce-blueprint-for-ocean-action/ |access-date=2022-11-29 |website=PADI Pros |language=en-US}}</ref> To advance this commitment, the organization launched the PADI AWARE Community Grant Program<ref>{{Cite web |title=Meet Your 2022 AWARE Grantees |url=https://www.padi.com/aware/Grantees |access-date=2022-11-29 |website=PADI |language=en}}</ref> and the [https://www.padi.com/aware/AdoptTheBlue Adopt the Blue] program.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Staff |first=DIVE |date=2022-06-15 |title=PADI AWARE launches 'Adopt the Blue' programme |url=https://divemagazine.com/scuba-diving-news/padi-aware-launches-adopt-the-blue-programme |access-date=2022-11-29 |website=DIVE Magazine |language=en-GB}}</ref>

Rainforest Foundation Fund

The '''Rainforest Foundation Fund''' is a [[charitable foundation]] founded in 1987 and dedicated to drawing attention to [[rainforest|rainforests]] and defending the [[Indigenous rights|rights]] of [[indigenous peoples]] living there.<ref>{{Cite web|date=2019-08-27|title=Sting Issues Statement On Amazon Fires: "This Is Criminal Negligence On A Global Scale"|url=https://www.stereogum.com/2056241/sting-amazon-fires-statement/news/|access-date=2020-07-09|website=Stereogum}}</ref>

The fund provides support to indigenous rainforest peoples to assert and defend their rights, to define and promote sustainable development in their communities, and to challenge the activities and practices of governments or other entities which damage their environment and lands. The programs and projects are developed in partnership with local communities and representative indigenous NGOs.

==History==
[[Image:Raoni and singer Sting.jpg|thumb|The [[Chief Raoni]] and [[Sting (musician)|Sting]] in 1989, in Paris.]]
The Rainforest Foundation Fund was first founded in 1989 as the ''Rainforest Foundation International,'' by [[Sting (musician)|Sting]] and his wife [[Trudie Styler]] after an indigenous leader, [[Raoni Metuktire|Raoni]], of the [[Kayapo people]] of [[Brazil]] made a personal request to them to help his community protect their lands and culture. Since then, the Rainforest Foundation Fund has funded projects that have protected a total of 28 million acres of forest in 20 different rainforest countries around the globe.

==Philosophy==

The mission of the Rainforest Foundation Fund is: "to protect and support indigenous people and traditional forest populations in their efforts to protect their environment and fulfill their right to a secure, healthy and ecologically sound environment." The Fund believes that [[environmental degradation]] necessarily violates human rights to life, health and culture.

The international community widely accepts that indigenous peoples are holders of a specific set of rights and are also the victims of historically unique forms of discrimination, and it enshrined this idea in the [[United Nations]] [[Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples]], adopted by the UN General Assembly in 2007.

The Rainforest Fund claims that its work is motivated by its recognition of a substantial disconnect between such declarations made by the governments of the world in an international forum, and the actions that those governments undertake in their own countries.

They mention as an illustration the controversy surrounding the [[Belo Monte Dam]] in Brazil:
"While at the United Nations discussions are underway on the crucial issue of climate change, and governments are finally realizing that they have to change their pattern of development, in the Brazilian [[Amazon Basin|Amazon]] plans are well advanced to build environmentally destructive mega-dams along the Xingu River, the last of the great Amazon rivers in a good state of conservation."

==Method==

The Rainforest Foundation Fund usually covers only about 80% of a project's total budget, leaving its grantee responsible for finding the remaining 20%, to avoid over-dependency on just one funding source. The fund grants money on a three-year basis, but will extend funding up to five years in certain circumstances. Grant-recipient's projects are evaluated annually.

The Rainforest Foundation Fund works with an extremely small staff, with only a chairperson (Franca Sciuto) and a part-time financial director/treasurer (Li Lu). The chairperson serves as a volunteer, and handles all project screening, interim assessments and post-project evaluations. Final decisions on projects and fund disbursement are made by the Rainforest Foundation Fund board.<ref>Rainforest Foundation Fund 2006/2008 Report "{{cite web |url=http://www.rainforestfund.org/sites/bu.rainforestfund.org/files/RFFUND2006-08reportfinal1.pdf |title=Archived copy |accessdate=2011-11-14 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20120412222007/http://www.rainforestfund.org/sites/bu.rainforestfund.org/files/RFFUND2006-08reportfinal1.pdf |archivedate=2012-04-12 }}"</ref>

Rather than administrating large projects itself, the Fund believes that the primary beneficiaries, the indigenous peoples, should also be the primary administrators of the projects and they work through intermediary organizations to ensure they are equipped with the administrative structures, technology and trained leadership needed to carry out their projects.

==Current work==

The Rainforest Fund supports projects that defend indigenous people's rights to their lands and to live in a healthy environment.

The Fund assists rainforest indigenous communities by providing funding to help them achieve official [[demarcation line|demarcation]] of their territories and then ensure they are able to effectively defend their communities from violations of their rights including [[illegal logging]], [[mining]], other land invasions, and social [[disenfranchisement]]/denial of their rights as citizens.

Many of their projects work to uphold the right of indigenous peoples to grant or to withhold. Then their [[free, prior and informed consent]] to projects that will affect their land, resources and livelihoods, and to ensure that indigenous communities are given full information and have a voice in project negotiations and the policy design process.

It also makes grants to programs that assist communities in designing [[sustainable development]] strategies, and in strengthening their representative organizations.

Their grants support public awareness programs, technological training, community development, organizational [[capacity building]], sustainable resource management, legal defense, and local, national, and international policy and advocacy.

June 10, 2010.</ref>

==Criticisms==
In January 1990 the fund's first campaign came under fire by the French edition of 'Rolling Stone' magazine in an article that mentioned the failings of previous work in the rainforest and criticized the organization for holding lavish fundraising banquets.<ref>Chris Campion. "Walking on the moon: the untold story of the Police and the rise of new wave rock." John Wiley and Sons, 2009. pp 237- 240 "[https://books.google.com/books?id=ODs8IEzC4Z0C&dq=WORLD+IN+ACTION%3A+STING+AND+THE+INDIANS&pg=PA237]</ref>

The 'Rolling Stone' article was used as the basis for a documentary by Granada Television's 'World in Action' program. The show, called 'Sting and the Indians', was re-broadcast in the United States on the A&E cable network hosted by Bill Kurtis.<ref>Elaine Dewar. "Cloak of green." James Lorimer & Company, 1995. pp. 421 "[https://books.google.com/books?id=ui2OTJqsqI8C&dq=WORLD+IN+ACTION%3A+STING+AND+THE+INDIANS&pg=PA421]"</ref>

The primary claim of both was that the project in Brazil was misrepresenting the facts to donors, as some of the Kayapo's traditional land was already "protected" within the Xingu National Park. In fact, the [[Xingu Park]] is actually a large indigenous-controlled area, the first in Brazil, so it is an indigenous territory, not a national "park". Moreover, the Fund's initial project supported demarcation of the Mengkragnoti Area, which is right next to/contiguous with the Xingu Park, and did not demarcate the park itself.

'''Bergwaldprojekt''' is a multinational [[List of environmental organizations|environmental protection organization]] ([[Non-governmental organization|NGO]]) that works with [[volunteers]] in forest [[ecosystems]]. It is focused on protection, preservation, and care of forests, especially [[mountain forests]] and cultural landscapes.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.bergwaldprojekt.de/ueber-uns/verein |title=Bergwaldprojekt |work=www.bergwaldprojekt.de |publisher=Bergwaldprojekt e.V. |date=2020 |access-date=2024-10-24}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=https://taz.de/Aufforstung-in-Deutschland/!5727778/ |title=Reforestation in Germany: Serving Nature |author=Boris Messing |work=taz.de |publisher=[[Die Tageszeitung]] |date=2020-11-22 |access-date=2024-10-24}}</ref>

== History ==
The Bergwaldprojekt was founded in 1987 by Swiss forester Renato Ruf and German [[Greenpeace]] employee Wolfgang Lohbeck in Switzerland. The first operation took place in [[Malans]] in the [[Canton of Graubünden]]. Initially, the project received organizational and financial support from the [[World Wildlife Fund|WWF]] and Greenpeace. By 1990, both organizations allowed the initiative to become independent. In Switzerland, the organization is structured as a charitable foundation under the supervision of the Federal Department of Home Affairs. In 1993, the German association was founded to independently finance and manage projects that had been ongoing in Germany since 1991. The first operation in Austria occurred in 1994, and in the Principality of Liechtenstein in 2004. Since 2007, there have been several project weeks each year in [[Catalonia]]. From 2006 to 2015, there were also several one-week projects annually in the [[Carpathians]] of [[Ukraine]].<ref>{{Cite web |last=Bote |first=Schwarzwälder |title=Bergwaldprojekt in Schonach: „Wir machen das hier für ein komisches Tier und das heißt Auerhuhn“ |url=https://www.schwarzwaelder-bote.de/inhalt.bergwaldprojekt-in-schonach-wir-machen-das-hier-fuer-ein-komisches-tier-und-das-heisst-auerhuhn.43440543-0a43-47e0-8237-6b995d3e37d1.html |access-date=2024-10-24 |website=schwarzwaelder-bote.de |language=de}}</ref>

In 2020, the Bergwaldprojekt, together with the Greenpeace Environmental Foundation, purchased 200 hectares of forest land near [[Unterschönau]] in the [[Thuringian Forest]], including the former Moosburg castle site. The "Future Forest" project involves converting a [[monoculture]] of [[spruce]] trees, which is not adapted to the [[climate crisis]], into a more natural forest management system modeled after the [[Lübeck City Forest]].<ref name=":0" />

== Activities ==
The organization conducts one-week work assignments throughout the year for forestry laypersons in [[Switzerland]], [[Austria]], [[Liechtenstein]], [[Germany]], and [[Catalonia]]. The project sites range from the mountain forests of the [[Alps]] and [[Pyrenees]] to mid-mountain ranges such as the [[Black Forest]], [[Rhön]], and [[Harz]], to the island forests of [[Amrum]] and coastal forests on the [[Baltic Sea]]. The organization works only in public forests or on land owned by charitable organizations, or as in Germany, part of the [[Natural heritage|National Natural Heritage]].<ref>{{Cite web |last= |title=Schuften statt Hängematte: Mit Bergwaldprojekten die Natur retten {{!}} MDR.DE |url=https://www.mdr.de/nachrichten/sachsen/chemnitz/freiberg/bergwald-projekt-osterzgebirge-ferien-100.html |access-date=2024-10-24 |website=www.mdr.de |language=de}}</ref> The various tasks during a project week include forest maintenance, young growth maintenance, construction of hiking trails, reforestation of protective forest, measures to protect against browsing damage, fence construction, building of tripods (to reduce snow movement), erosion control, landscape and biotope maintenance, and peatland restoration. Projects in Germany focuses on [[forest conversion]].<ref>{{Cite web |last=Grahovac |first=Eleonore |title=Sachsen: Schuften statt Hängematte: Mit Bergwaldprojekten die Natur retten |url=https://www.tagesschau.de/inland/regional/sachsen/mdr-schuften-statt-chillen-mit-bergwaldprojekten-die-natur-retten-100.html |access-date=2024-10-24 |website=tagesschau.de |language=de}}</ref>

== Organization ==
The project is organized in Switzerland as a foundation, in Germany and Spain as independent associations, and in Austria under the umbrella of the [[Austrian Alpine Club]]. The project is financed through private [[donations]], which accounted for 6% of the funding in Germany in 2020 (2018: 5%), as well as through supporting [[membership]]s (2020: 6%; 2018: 7%). 35% of the revenues were generated through the project work itself (2018: 62%). In 2020, the German Bergwaldprojekt received a bequest of €1,025,941 (26%). The remaining revenues come from contributions from companies and institutions, public funds, and in-kind donations.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.bahn.de/p/view/bahncard/praemienkategorien/themenwelt_bergwaldprojekt.shtml |title=BahnCard |work=www.bahn.de |publisher=[[Deutsche Bahn]] |access-date=2024-10-24}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.bergwaldprojekt.de/sites/default/files/jahresbericht_2018_screen.pdf |title=Bergwaldprojekt Annual Report 2018 |publisher=Bergwaldprojekt e.V. |access-date=2024-10-24 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200102202710/https://www.bergwaldprojekt.de/sites/default/files/jahresbericht_2018_screen.pdf |archive-date=2020-01-02 |url-status=live }}</ref>

== History ==
The Bergwaldprojekt was founded in 1987 by Swiss forester Renato Ruf and German [[Greenpeace]] employee Wolfgang Lohbeck in Switzerland. The first operation took place in [[Malans]] in the [[Canton of Graubünden]]. Initially, the project received organizational and financial support from the [[World Wildlife Fund|WWF]] and Greenpeace. By 1990, both organizations allowed the initiative to become independent. In Switzerland, the organization is structured as a charitable foundation under the supervision of the Federal Department of Home Affairs. In 1993, the German association was founded to independently finance and manage projects that had been ongoing in Germany since 1991. The first operation in Austria occurred in 1994, and in the Principality of Liechtenstein in 2004. Since 2007, there have been several project weeks each year in [[Catalonia]]. From 2006 to 2015, there were also several one-week projects annually in the [[Carpathians]] of [[Ukraine]].<ref>{{Cite web |last=Bote |first=Schwarzwälder |title=Bergwaldprojekt in Schonach: „Wir machen das hier für ein komisches Tier und das heißt Auerhuhn“ |url=https://www.schwarzwaelder-bote.de/inhalt.bergwaldprojekt-in-schonach-wir-machen-das-hier-fuer-ein-komisches-tier-und-das-heisst-auerhuhn.43440543-0a43-47e0-8237-6b995d3e37d1.html |access-date=2024-10-24 |website=schwarzwaelder-bote.de |language=de}}</ref>

In 2020, the Bergwaldprojekt, together with the Greenpeace Environmental Foundation, purchased 200 hectares of forest land near [[Unterschönau]] in the [[Thuringian Forest]], including the former Moosburg castle site. The "Future Forest" project involves converting a [[monoculture]] of [[spruce]] trees, which is not adapted to the [[climate crisis]], into a more natural forest management system modeled after the [[Lübeck City Forest]].<ref name=":0" />

== Activities ==

'''Bergwaldprojekt''' is a multinational [[List of environmental organizations|environmental protection organization]] ([[Non-governmental organization|NGO]]) that works with [[volunteers]] in forest [[ecosystems]]. It is focused on protection, preservation, and care of forests, especially [[mountain forests]] and cultural landscapes.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.bergwaldprojekt.de/ueber-uns/verein |title=Bergwaldprojekt |work=www.bergwaldprojekt.de |publisher=Bergwaldprojekt e.V. |date=2020 |access-date=2024-10-24}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=https://taz.de/Aufforstung-in-Deutschland/!5727778/ |title=Reforestation in Germany: Serving Nature |author=Boris Messing |work=taz.de |publisher=[[Die Tageszeitung]] |date=2020-11-22 |access-date=2024-10-24}}</ref>

== History ==
The Bergwaldprojekt was founded in 1987 by Swiss forester Renato Ruf and German [[Greenpeace]] employee Wolfgang Lohbeck in Switzerland. The first operation took place in [[Malans]] in the [[Canton of Graubünden]]. Initially, the project received organizational and financial support from the [[World Wildlife Fund|WWF]] and Greenpeace. By 1990, both organizations allowed the initiative to become independent. In Switzerland, the organization is structured as a charitable foundation under the supervision of the Federal Department of Home Affairs. In 1993, the German association was founded to independently finance and manage projects that had been ongoing in Germany since 1991. The first operation in Austria occurred in 1994, and in the Principality of Liechtenstein in 2004. Since 2007, there have been several project weeks each year in [[Catalonia]]. From 2006 to 2015, there were also several one-week projects annually in the [[Carpathians]] of [[Ukraine]].<ref>{{Cite web |last=Bote |first=Schwarzwälder |title=Bergwaldprojekt in Schonach: „Wir machen das hier für ein komisches Tier und das heißt Auerhuhn“ |url=https://www.schwarzwaelder-bote.de/inhalt.bergwaldprojekt-in-schonach-wir-machen-das-hier-fuer-ein-komisches-tier-und-das-heisst-auerhuhn.43440543-0a43-47e0-8237-6b995d3e37d1.html |access-date=2024-10-24 |website=schwarzwaelder-bote.de |language=de}}</ref>

In 2020, the Bergwaldprojekt, together with the Greenpeace Environmental Foundation, purchased 200 hectares of forest land near [[Unterschönau]] in the [[Thuringian Forest]], including the former Moosburg castle site. The "Future Forest" project involves converting a [[monoculture]] of [[spruce]] trees, which is not adapted to the [[climate crisis]], into a more natural forest management system modeled after the [[Lübeck City Forest]].<ref name=":0" />

The project is organized in Switzerland as a foundation, in Germany and Spain as independent associations, and in Austria under the umbrella of the [[Austrian Alpine Club]]. The project is financed through private [[donations]], which accounted for 6% of the funding in Germany in 2020 (2018: 5%), as well as through supporting [[membership]]s (2020: 6%; 2018: 7%). 35% of the revenues were generated through the project work itself (2018: 62%).

==Career and contributions==
He obtained his PhD from the [[University of Salerno]] with a thesis in [[knowledge representation]].<ref>[https://loop.frontiersin.org/people/152903/bio] Loop - Frontiers Biography</ref> and was then a researcher in Artificial Intelligence at the Department of Computer Science of the [[University of Turin]] from 2012 to 2023.<ref>[https://docenti.unisa.it/024406/en/curriculum] - University of Salerno</ref>
He is notable for his work on cognitively-inspired computational models of categorization integrating both [[prototype theory|prototypes]] and [[exemplar theory|exemplars]] based strategies through the combination of [[Peter Gärdenfors]] [[conceptual space]]s with large scale [[Description Logics]] ontologies like [[Cyc]]. His model, called DUAL PECCS, has been used to extend the categorization capabilities of different [[cognitive architectures]].<ref>[https://sh-medieteknik.solidtango.com/video/mb416ht15-25-aug-13-58 Extending the Knowledge Level of General Cognitive Architectures with Conceptual Spaces], Stockholm, Conceptual Spaces workshop, August 2016</ref>

The '''Zanzibar national football team''' represents [[Zanzibar]] in international [[Association football|football]] and is controlled by the [[Zanzibar Football Federation]].

==History==
Zanzibar is not a member of [[FIFA]] and is therefore not eligible to enter the [[Football World Cup|World Cup]]. The island is part of the nation of [[Tanzania]], which holds FIFA recognition at the international level. Prior to the union of Zanzibar and [[Tanganyika (1961–1964)|Tanganyika]] in 1964, Zanzibar was a fully independent member of the [[Confederation of African Football]] (CAF), but never qualified for the [[Africa Cup of Nations|African Nations Cup]].

Zanzibar was a provisional member of the [[N.F.-Board]]. The team placed second in the [[2006 FIFI Wild Cup]] tournament, losing 4–1 on penalties to the [[Northern Cyprus national football team|Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus]] in the final. For that tournament, they were coached by the German comedian [[Oliver Pocher]].

Their U-20 team also played in the 2006 [[ELF Cup]], finishing fourth of eight, winning one game (1–0 against [[Kyrgyzstan national football team|Kyrgyzstan's]] national football team) and drawing twice (against Gagauzia and [[Greenland national football team|Greenland]]) before losing 5–0 to Northern Cyprus in the semifinal. They regularly play in the [[CECAFA Cup]], which includes national teams from [[Central Africa|Central]] and [[East Africa]], and in [[1995 CECAFA Cup|1995]] they became champions, winning the final match 1–0 against the host nation, [[Uganda national football team|Uganda]].

In March 2017, Zanzibar were admitted to CAF, becoming its 55th member,<ref name="55th CAF Member">{{cite web|title=Zanzibar admitted as full member of African soccer body|url=http://indianexpress.com/article/sports/football/zanzibar-admitted-as-full-member-of-african-soccer-body/|website=indianexpress.com|publisher=Indian Express|access-date=16 March 2017|date=16 March 2017|archive-date=17 March 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170317143318/http://indianexpress.com/article/sports/football/zanzibar-admitted-as-full-member-of-african-soccer-body/|url-status=live}}</ref> only for their membership to be rescinded four months later, with CAF president [[Ahmad Ahmad]] claiming the region should never have been admitted as it is not a sovereign nation.<ref name="Membership U-turn">{{cite web|url=https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/40682462|title=Zanzibar loses Caf membership in embarrassing U-turn|website=bbc.com|publisher=British Broadcasting Corporation|date=21 July 2017|access-date=23 July 2017|archive-date=23 July 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170723064515/http://www.bbc.com/sport/football/40682462|url-status=live}}</ref>

The North American '''Central Time Zone''' ('''CT''') is a [[time zone]] in parts of [[Canada]], the [[United States]], [[Mexico]], [[Central America]], and some [[Caribbean Islands|Caribbean islands]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=Central Time – CT Time Zone |url=https://www.timeanddate.com/time/zones/ct#:~:text=The%20term%20Central%20Time%20(CT,switches%20between%20CST%20and%20CDT. |access-date=November 22, 2023 |website=timeanddate.com |language=en}}</ref>

In parts of that zone (20 states in the US, three provinces or territories in Canada, and several border municipalities in Mexico), the Central Time Zone is affected by two time designations yearly: '''Central Standard Time (CST)''' is observed from the first Sunday in November to the second Sunday in March. It is [[UTC−06:00|six hours]] behind [[Coordinated Universal Time]] (UTC) and designated internationally as UTC−6.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.bts.gov/explore-topics-and-geography/geography/geospatial-portal/history-time-zones-and-daylight-saving |title=History of Time Zones and Daylight Saving Time (DST) |publisher=United States Department of Transportation Bureau of Transportation Statistics |date=January 17, 2023 |access-date=December 28, 2023}}</ref> From the second Sunday in March to the first Sunday in November the same areas observe [[daylight saving time]] (DST), creating the designation of '''Central Daylight Time (CDT)''' which is [[UTC−05:00|five hours]] behind UTC and known internationally as UTC−5.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Central Time (CST/CDT) {{!}} GMT|url=https://greenwichmeantime.com/time-zone/usa/central-time/|website=greenwichmeantime.com|language=en|access-date=May 22, 2020}}</ref>

==Regions using Central Time==

===Canada===
{{main|Time in Canada}}
The province of [[Manitoba]] is the only [[Provinces and territories of Canada|province or territory in Canada]] that observes Central Time in all areas.

The following Canadian provinces and territories observe Central Time in the areas noted, while their other areas observe [[Eastern Time Zone|Eastern Time]]:
* [[Nunavut]] (territory): western areas (most of [[Kivalliq Region]] and part of [[Qikiqtaaluk Region]])
* [[Ontario]] (province): a portion of the northwest bordering southeastern Manitoba, in and around [[Kenora, Ontario|Kenora]].

Also, most of the province of [[Saskatchewan]] is on Central Standard Time year-round, never adjusting for Daylight Saving Time. One major exception includes [[Lloydminster]], a city whose borders overlap both [[Alberta]] and Saskatchewan. The city charter<ref>[https://www.lloydminster.ca/en/your-city-hall/resources/The-Lloydminster-Charter.pdf The Lloydminster Charter]. ''lloydminster.ca''</ref> stipulates that it shall observe [[Mountain Time Zone|Mountain Time]] and DST, putting the community on the same time as all of Alberta (UTC−7) in the winter, and in time with Saskatchewan (UTC−6) during the summer.

===United States===
{{main|Time in the United States}}

Ten states are contained entirely in the Central Time Zone:
* [[Alabama]]
* [[Arkansas]]
* [[Illinois]]
* [[Iowa]]
* [[Louisiana]]
* [[Minnesota]]
* [[Mississippi]]
* [[Missouri]]
* [[Oklahoma]]
* [[Wisconsin]]

Five states are split between the Central Time Zone and the [[Mountain Time Zone]]:
* [[Kansas]]: all except for [[Sherman County, Kansas|Sherman]], [[Wallace County, Kansas|Wallace]], [[Greeley County, Kansas|Greeley]], and [[Hamilton County, Kansas|Hamilton]] counties
* [[Nebraska]]: eastern two thirds including the east part of [[Cherry County, Nebraska|Cherry County]]
* [[North Dakota]]: all except for southwest regions, south part of [[McKenzie County, North Dakota|McKenzie County]], and the majority of [[Dunn County, North Dakota|Dunn County]] and far western [[Sioux County, North Dakota|Sioux County]]
* [[South Dakota]]: eastern half including part of [[Stanley County, South Dakota|Stanley County]]
* [[Texas]]: all except for [[El Paso County, Texas|El Paso]], [[Hudspeth County, Texas|Hudspeth]], and northwestern [[Culberson County, Texas|Culberson]] counties

Five states are split between the Central Time Zone and the [[Eastern Time Zone]]:
* [[Florida]]: most of [[Florida Panhandle]] west of the [[Apalachicola River]]; [[Franklin County, Florida|Franklin County]] west of the Apalachicola River and parts of [[Gulf County, Florida|Gulf County]] are in the Central Time Zone
* [[Indiana]]: northwest ([[Gary, Indiana|Gary]]) and southwest ([[Evansville, Indiana|Evansville]]) regions
* [[Kentucky]]: the western portion of the state, including its three major towns: [[Bowling Green, Kentucky|Bowling Green]], [[Owensboro, Kentucky|Owensboro]] and [[Paducah, Kentucky|Paducah]]
* [[Michigan]]: [[Gogebic County, Michigan|Gogebic]], [[Iron County, Michigan|Iron]], [[Dickinson County, Michigan|Dickinson]], and [[Menominee County, Michigan|Menominee]] counties
* [[Tennessee]]: [[West Tennessee]] and [[Middle Tennessee]], including the major cities of [[Nashville, Tennessee|Nashville]] and [[Memphis, Tennessee|Memphis]]
Additionally, [[Phenix City, Alabama]], and several nearby communities in [[Russell County, Alabama]], unofficially observe Eastern Time. This is due to their close proximity to [[Columbus, Georgia]], which is on Eastern Time.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://legacy.decaturdaily.com/decaturdaily/news/060813/zones.shtml|title=Parts of Eastern Alabama split between 2 time zones|access-date=March 22, 2009|archive-date=March 10, 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160310233009/http://legacy.decaturdaily.com/decaturdaily/news/060813/zones.shtml|url-status=dead}}</ref>

Although legally located within the Central Time Zone, [[Kenton, Oklahoma]]—located to the adjacent east of the defined border of the Central and Mountain time zones (at the Oklahoma−[[New Mexico]] state line)—unofficially observes Mountain Time.<ref name="EOHC-Cimmaron">{{cite web |last=Young |first=Norma Gene |url=http://www.okhistory.org/publications/enc/entry.php?entry=CI003 |title=Cimarron County |work=Encyclopedia of Oklahoma History and Culture |publisher=Oklahoma Historical Society |accessdate=June 30, 2015 }}</ref> This is reportedly because most people who interact with the town reside in either New Mexico or [[Colorado]].<ref name="Last">{{cite web |author=Bright |first=Sheilah |date=September 12, 2012 |title=The Last of Kenton |url=https://thislandpress.com/2012/09/19/the-last-of-kenton/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200927075550/https://thislandpress.com/2012/09/19/the-last-of-kenton/ |archive-date=September 27, 2020 |accessdate=September 9, 2020 |publisher=This Land Press}}</ref><ref name="EOHC-Cimmaron"/>

===Mexico===
{{main|Time in Mexico}}
Most of Mexico—roughly the eastern three-fourths—lies in the Central Time Zone, except for [[States of Mexico|five northwestern states]] ([[Baja California]], [[Baja California Sur]], [[Sinaloa]], [[Sonora]], and most of [[Nayarit]]) and one southeastern state ([[Quintana Roo]]). It is known locally as the ''Zona Centro''.<ref name=law2022>{{cite web |url=https://www.diputados.gob.mx/LeyesBiblio/pdf/LHHEUM.pdf |title=Ley de los husos horarios en los Estados Unidos Mexicanos |publisher=Chamber of Deputies of Mexico |date=November 2, 2022 |language=es}}</ref>

{{div col end}}

=== Central America ===
Out of the seven countries comprising [[Central America]], all but one use Central Standard Time year-round:
*[[Belize]], [[Costa Rica]], [[El Salvador]], [[Guatemala]], [[Honduras]], and [[Nicaragua]].<ref name="factbook2023"/>

[[Panama]], which recognizes Eastern Standard Time (UTC−5) year round, is the exception.<ref name="factbook2023">{{Citation |title=Panama |date=November 14, 2023 |url=https://www.cia.gov/the-world-factbook/countries/panama/ |work=The World Factbook |access-date=November 22, 2023 |publisher=Central Intelligence Agency |language=en}}</ref>

==Central Daylight Time==
{{Redirect|Central Daylight Time}}
[[Daylight saving time]] (DST) is in effect in much of the Central time zone between mid-March and early November. The modified time is called "Central Daylight Time" (CDT) and is [[UTC−05:00]].{{fact|date=August 2024}}

In the United States, all time zones that observe DST were effectively changed by the [[Energy Policy Act of 2005]]. Beginning in 2007, DST would now begin at 2 a.m. (02:00) on the second Sunday in March instead of the first Sunday in April, moving the time from 2 to 3 a.m. (i.e., from 02:00 to 03:00). Additionally, DST would end at 2 a.m. (02:00) on the first Sunday in November instead of the last Sunday in October, moving the time from 2 to 1 a.m. (i.e., from 02:00 to 01:00).{{fact|date=August 2024}}

At the time, Mexico decided not to go along with [[Energy Policy Act of 2005|this change]] and observed their ''[[Daylight saving time in Mexico|horario de verano]]'' ("summer schedule") from the first Sunday in April to the last Sunday in October. In December 2009, the Mexican Congress allowed ten border cities, eight of which are in states that observe Central Time, to adopt the US daylight time schedule effective in 2010. In October 2022, however, CDT was used in Mexico for the last time after DST was abolished. The US is also seeing traction in the same direction, with the [[Sunshine Protection Act]] that proposes legislation that would permanently end the switching of times and make daylight saving time permanent.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.congress.gov/bill/117th-congress/senate-bill/623 |title=S.623 - Sunshine Protection Act of 2021 |work=US Congress }}</ref>

Since 2009, he has served as Chairman of the [[Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.espn.com/nba/news/story?id=4707157 |title=Colangelo to chair Hall of Fame |agency=Associated Press |publisher=ESPN|date=December 2, 2009}}</ref> Colangelo also serves as Chairman of the [[National Italian American Foundation]] (NIAF), a nonprofit nonpartisan educational foundation that promotes [[Italian American|Italian-American]] culture and heritage.

==Early life==
Colangelo was born and raised in [[Chicago Heights, Illinois]], to an Italian-American [[working class]] family.<ref name="historicalleague">{{cite web|url=http://www.historicalleague.org/historymaker-inside.aspx?historymakerid=25 |title=Jerry Colangelo 1939 – |publisher=Historical League |access-date=September 14, 2014 }}</ref> He played basketball and baseball for [[Bloom Township High School]]. Colangelo enrolled at the [[University of Kansas]], but transferred to the [[University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign|University of Illinois]] after prospective teammate [[Wilt Chamberlain]] left. He played basketball for the [[Illinois Fighting Illini men's basketball|Illinois Fighting Illini]], earned All-Big Ten honors, and captained the Illini as a senior. He was later inducted into the Illinois Basketball Hall of Fame. Colangelo also played two years of baseball at Illinois.<ref name="phoenixsunsprofile">{{cite web|url=http://www.nba.com/suns/news/jerry_colangelo_bio.html |title=Jerry Colangelo Bio |publisher=Phoenix Suns |access-date=September 14, 2014 }}</ref> In 1962, he graduated from the University of Illinois with a degree in physical education.<ref name="historicalleague"/>

In his autobiography, ''How You Play the Game'', Colangelo tells of working at the House of Charles, a tuxedo rental shop in Chicago Heights, after graduating from college.<ref name="HYPTG">Colangelo, Jerry; Sherman, Len.

== Basketball ==
[[File:20140814 World Basketball Festival Jerry Colangelo.JPG|thumb|Colangelo at the 2014 World Basketball Festival]]
Colangelo began his sports career in 1966 in professional basketball with the [[Chicago Bulls]]. He worked as a marketing director, scout, and assistant to the president of the team.<ref>{{cite web|last=Charles |first=Mike |title=Jerry's story |url=http://www.jcolangelo.com/jerrys-story.php?&page=2 |access-date=March 13, 2013 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120314223509/http://www.jcolangelo.com/jerrys-story.php?&page=2 |archive-date=March 14, 2012 }}</ref> In 1968, he left the Bulls and was hired as the first general manager of the expansion team, the [[Phoenix Suns]]. He was the youngest general manager in professional sports.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.nba.com/suns/news/jerry_colangelo_bio.html |publisher=NBA |access-date=December 18, 2014 | title=Jerry Colangelo Bio}}</ref> When he and his family left for Arizona, he had $200 in his wallet.<ref name="HYPTG" />

Colangelo got off to an unlucky start, losing a 1969 coin flip to the [[Milwaukee Bucks]] for the rights to [[UCLA]] phenom [[Lew Alcindor]] (who became [[Kareem Abdul-Jabbar]]). The Suns were competitive during most of the 1970s, making it to the [[1976 NBA Finals|NBA Finals in 1976]], but losing to the [[Boston Celtics]] in six games. Colangelo had two stints as head coach during that decade, compiling a record of 59 wins and 60 losses.

Throughout most of the 1980s, Colangelo's Suns faced difficulties. Some players, including 1976 NBA Finals player [[Garfield Heard]], were involved in an infamous drug scandal, young center [[Nick Vanos]] died in a 1987 plane crash, and, from 1985 through 1988, the Suns failed to qualify for the playoffs. Colangelo assembled a group of investors that bought the Suns in late 1987, in the wake of the drug scandal. He subsequently made a trade for [[Kevin Johnson (basketball)|Kevin Johnson]] in 1987.

The Suns made one of the biggest turnarounds in NBA history in [[1988–89 NBA season|1988–89]], nearly doubling their win total (from 28 wins to 55) and making the first of 13 straight playoff appearances. In 1989, Colangelo was an essential part of the group that provided financial backing to build [[America West Arena]] (renamed [[Talking Stick Resort Arena]]). In 1992, Colangelo traded [[Jeff Hornacek]], [[Tim Perry]], and [[Andrew Lang (basketball)|Andrew Lang]] to the [[Philadelphia 76ers]] for [[Charles Barkley]]. The trade proved to be productive for the Suns, and they reached the NBA Finals for the second time in 1993, this time losing to the Chicago Bulls starring [[Michael Jordan]] in six games. Barkley's relationship with Colangelo, however, grew sour over the years, and in 1996, he was traded to the [[Houston Rockets]].

Throughout his time with the Suns, Colangelo would win four different [[NBA Executive of the Year]] honors with the team. It would stand to be the most honors for an executive of one team in the NBA. He eventually turned over the Suns' presidency to his son [[Bryan Colangelo|Bryan]], who later left the organization to become [[general manager]] of the [[Toronto Raptors]]. Bryan ended up winning two [[NBA Executive of the Year]] honors: one with Phoenix, and one with Toronto only two seasons later.

On December 7, 2015, Colangelo decided to return to the NBA to become the new chairman of basketball operations for the [[Philadelphia 76ers]],<ref>{{cite web|last1=Zillgitt|first1=Jeff|title=Jerry Colangelo named 76ers chairman of basketball operations|url=https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/nba/76ers/2015/12/07/jerry-colangelo-named-76ers-chairman-basketball-operations/76944700/|website=USA Today|access-date=December 8, 2015}}</ref> as well as special adviser to the team's managing partner.<ref>{{cite web|last1=Cooney|first1=Bob |title= Adding Jerry Colangelo a slam dunk for Sixers |url= http://www.philly.com/philly/sports/sixers/20151208_Adding_Jerry_Colangelo_a_slam_dunk_for_Sixers.html |website= philly.com |date=December 7, 2015 |publisher= The Philadelphia Inquirer |access-date=December 8, 2015}}</ref> On April 7, 2016, Colangelo's son, Bryan, took on the role of general manager and president of basketball operations for the 76ers after their former president and general manager, [[Sam Hinkie]], resigned from his position before end of the [[2015-16 NBA season|2015–16 season]] due to irreconcilable differences with Jerry.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.nba.com/2016/news/04/06/76ers-sam-hinkie-quits.ap/index.html |title=76ers president/General manager Sam Hinkie quits | NBA.com |website=[[NBA.com]] |access-date=April 7, 2016 |archive-date=April 8, 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160408212506/http://www.nba.com/2016/news/04/06/76ers-sam-hinkie-quits.ap/index.html |url-status=dead }}</ref> The move reunited the Colangelos for the first time since 2004 with the [[Phoenix Suns]].

==Additional sports activities==
Colangelo has been involved in many professional sports teams in Arizona.

===Baseball===
While in [[Chicago]] for a Suns game, Colangelo attended a [[Chicago Cubs]] baseball game at [[Wrigley Field]]. Soon thereafter he decided to inquire to [[Major League Baseball]] about bringing an expansion team to Arizona. He assembled a group of investors in 1994 to buy a franchise, a year ahead of MLB's proposed expansion selection meetings. In 1995, Colangelo's group was granted an expansion team, the [[Arizona Diamondbacks]].

The Diamondbacks began playing in 1998. For his new baseball club, Colangelo hired [[Joe Garagiola, Jr.]] as general manager. He next brought in [[Buck Showalter]] coming off a successful stint as manager of the [[New York Yankees]]. Showalter and Yankees owner [[George Steinbrenner]] did not agree to a contract extension, so Colangelo quickly hired Showalter as future manager of the Diamondbacks. These hirings proved to be instrumental to the expansion franchise's quick success. Key acquisitions made by Garagiola included the signing of [[Randy Johnson (pitcher)|Randy Johnson]] in 1999 and a trade for [[Curt Schilling]] in 2000 from the [[Philadelphia Phillies]]. They were co-MVPs of the [[2001 World Series]] when the Diamondbacks beat the Yankees in seven games. This is, {{as of|2022|lc=yes}}, the only major professional sports championship for the Phoenix area.

The Diamondbacks had gone into significant debt to build the 2001 champions. For example, he asked 12 of the highest-paid players to defer their salaries for four years and repay them over eight years.<ref name="usetoday1">{{cite news|url=https://www.usatoday.com/sports/baseball/columnist/bodley/2004-08-09-bodley_x.htm|title=Colangelo, D'backs' architect, feels hurt being phased out|publisher=[[USA Today]]|date=August 9, 2004|access-date=September 7, 2010}}</ref> The ensuing debt came back to haunt the Diamondbacks in [[2004 Arizona Diamondbacks season|2004]]. Only three years after winning the World Series and two years after winning a third division title in three years, the Diamondbacks never recovered from a slow start. They ultimately finished 51–111, the worst record in baseball and still the worst in franchise history.

By then, Colangelo was gone. He was forced to resign as Managing General Partner in the summer of 2004, and subsequently sold his interest. [[Ken Kendrick]] succeeded him as managing general partner, while [[Jeff Moorad]] became CEO and operating head of the franchise.

In an interview with ''[[USA Today]],'' Colangelo defended his approach to building the Diamondbacks, saying that he was only trying to build a winning team. He contrasted his approach with that of the Diamondbacks' expansion brethren, the [[Tampa Bay Rays|Tampa Bay Devil Rays]], who at the time had finished in either last or next-to-last every season (and would not have a winning season until [[2008 Tampa Bay Rays season|2008]]). He claimed that the plan only backfired when the economy went sour and he didn't get as much from baseball's central fund as anticipated.<ref name="usetoday1"/>

===Women's basketball===
In 1997, Colangelo's team in the [[Women's National Basketball Association]], the [[Phoenix Mercury]], began playing. The following year, the Mercury reached the [[WNBA Finals]] but lost to the [[Houston Comets]].

===Arena football===
In 1992, Colangelo founded the [[Arena Football League (1987–2008)|Arena Football League]]'s [[Arizona Rattlers]] and owned them until 2005. Under Colangelo's guidance, the Rattlers won [[Arena Bowl]] championships in 1994 and 1997. They were also one of the AFL's model franchises and were a perennial playoff team. According to published reports, the Rattlers struggled to stay afloat as a franchise after Colangelo sold the team.<ref name="rattlers">{{cite web|url=http://www.sportsarizonaonline.com/arena-football-league-to-fold-r-i-p-arizona-rattlers| title=Arena Football League to Fold, R.I.P. Arizona Rattlers| date=August 3, 2009| work=Sports Arizona Online| access-date=September 1, 2009}} {{dead link|date=June 2018}}</ref>

===Hockey===
Following the demise of the proposed move of the [[Winnipeg Jets (1972–96)|Winnipeg Jets]] to [[Minneapolis, Minnesota|Minneapolis]], Colangelo was involved in bringing the [[National Hockey League]] (NHL) to Arizona, successfully convincing the team's ownership to relocate the franchise to the area as the [[Phoenix Coyotes]] in 1996. At the time, the move made Phoenix one of 13 [[U.S. cities with teams from four major sports|metropolitan areas with franchises in all four major North American professional sports leagues]]. The Coyotes played in the Phoenix suburb of Tempe at Arizona State University facilities prior to the team's sale and relocation to Salt Lake City in 2024.

==Exit from sports==
In April 2004, Colangelo sold the Suns, Mercury and Rattlers to an investment group headed by [[San Diego, California|San Diego]], [[California]] businessman, [[Tucson, Arizona]] native [[Robert Sarver]] for $401 million.

Late in the 2004 baseball season, Colangelo sold his controlling interest in the Arizona Diamondbacks to a group of investors led by [[Jeff Moorad]].<ref>[http://arizona.diamondbacks.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb/news/article.jsp?ymd=20050112&content_id=930226&vkey=news_ari&fext=.jsp&c_id=ari Colangelo sells controlling interest]{{dead link|date=October 2024|bot=medic}}{{cbignore|bot=medic}}, Diamondbacks website</ref>

The company produced gold mainly from its [[Western Australia]]n mines, which, in 1998, provided approximately 50% of its production, followed by the [[Northern Territory]] and [[Queensland]] with approximately 15% each. International gold production contributed for less than 10% of the overall company production.<ref>[http://www.asx.com.au/asx/statistics/displayAnnouncement.do?display=text&issuerId=3211&announcementId=673762 Fourth Quarter Activities Report – Part C] Normandy ASX announcement, published: 21 July 1998, accessed: 11 February 2010</ref>

==Overview==

===Names and listings===
Normandy Mining started its existence under the name of '''Northwest Tantalum NL''', changing it to '''Amad NL''' on 12 August 1966. Amad NL became '''Normandy Resources NL''' on 12 December 1985 and was listed on the [[Australian Securities Exchange]] under the code NDR. The company changed its name once more on 9 May 1991, to '''Normandy Poseidon Limited''', and was then listed under the code NPL.

The company was also listed on the [[Toronto Stock Exchange]] and the [[Montreal Exchange]].<ref>{{cite web |title=Second Quarter Activities Report | date=4 January 2011 |url=http://www.asx.com.au/asx/statistics/displayAnnouncement.do?display=text&issuerId=3211&announcementId=673725 |publisher=Australian Securities Exchange |accessdate=2019-12-23 |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20120612132440/http://www.asx.com.au/asx/statistics/displayAnnouncement.do?display=text&issuerId=3211&announcementId=673725 |archivedate=2012-06-12}}</ref>

===Early history===
On 1 July 1981, [[Robert Champion de Crespigny]] was appointed a company director, later to serve as the chairman of the company until its take over by Newmont.<ref>[http://www.asx.com.au/asx/statistics/displayAnnouncement.do?display=text&issuerId=3211&announcementId=674272 Initial Director`s Interest Notice x 7] Normandy ASX announcement, published: 8 January 2002, accessed: 11 February 2010</ref> Crespigny transformed the exploration company Amad, valued at A$3 million, to Australia's largest gold miner, valued at A$4.9 billion by Newmont, earning an estimated A$160 million in the process.<ref>[http://www.theage.com.au/news/business/old-miners-never-die/2005/06/22/1119321791129.html Old miners never die] ''[[The Age]]'', published: 23 June 2005, accessed: 11 February 2010</ref>

In 1991, Normandy merged with Poseidon Poseidon Nickel, best known for its involvement in the 1970 [[Poseidon bubble]], with the company now changing its name to Normandy Poseidon Limited and Poseidon being delisted from the Australian stock exchange on 8 May 1991.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.delisted.com.au/company/poseidon-limited/ |title=POSEIDON LIMITED (POS) |author= |date= |website=www.delisted.com.au |publisher=Investogain Pty Limited |access-date=18 March 2023|quote=}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.afr.com/politics/normandy-poseidon-merger-to-go-ahead-19910408-k4cqn |title=Normandy, Poseidon Merger to go ahead |newspaper=[[The Australian Financial Review]] |author=Andrew White |date=8 April 1991 |accessdate=18 March 2023 }}</ref>

In October 1996, Normandy took over Posgold Limited.<ref>[http://www.delisted.com.au/Company/6670 POSGOLD LIMITED (PGO)] delisted.com.au, accessed: 11 February 2010</ref>

===Great Central Mines takeover===
In early 1999, Normandy made an offer for [[Great Central Mines]], a company led by the ordained Rabbi [[Joseph Gutnick]],<ref name=Joe >[http://www.abc.net.au/lateline/business/items/200611/s1798732.htm Minerals boom leads to Bronzewing revival] ''[[Australian Broadcasting Corporation]]'', broadcast: 27 November 2006, accessed: 15 December 2009</ref><ref>[http://www.theage.com.au/business/chairman-argus-has-a-little-bet-each-way-20080207-1qv9.html Chairman Argus has a little bet each way] ''[[The Age]]'', published: 8 February 2008, accessed: 11 February 2010</ref> through [[Yandal Gold]], a company it owned a 49.9% interest in.<ref>[http://www.asx.com.au/asx/statistics/displayAnnouncement.do?display=text&issuerId=3211&announcementId=673815 Notice re: Takeover Offer for Great Central Mines] Normandy ASX announcement, published: 11 January 1999, accessed: 11 February 2010</ref> This offer came under investigation from the [[Australian Securities and Investments Commission]], which demanded a termination of the offer on 23 March 1999.<ref>[http://www.asx.com.au/asx/statistics/displayAnnouncement.do?display=text&issuerId=3211&announcementId=673815 Yandal Gold Part A T/O Offer for GCM – ASIC Investigation] Normandy ASX announcement, published: 23 March 1999, accessed: 11 February 2010</ref> Gutnick and Crespigny were found to have illegally structured a takeover of the company and Gutnick was ordered to return $28.5 million to investors. The court found that their behaviour in jointly bidding $450 million earlier that year for Great Central Mines was unlawful and deceptive. Both Gutnick and Crespigny had shareholdings in GMC before this bid was launched, and they agreed together to form the Yandal Gold company. The court found however, that it was only Gutnick who received any benefit and it was therefore him who had to pay the $28.5 million.<ref>[http://www.abc.net.au/7.30/stories/s29555.htm ''Miners found to have illegally restructured company'', ABC radio, 16 June 1999] accessed: 12 February 2010</ref>

The deal nevertheless went ahead and brought the [[Bronzewing Gold Mine|Bronzewing]], [[Jundee Gold Mine|Jundee]] and [[Wiluna Gold Mine]]'s to the company.

===Newmont takeover===
In late 2001, [[AngloGold]] made an offer for Normandy, valued at A$1.43 per Normandy share. It subsequently increased this offer by 30 cents per share, but was outbid by Newmont, which offered A$1.70 per share. AngloGold closed its offer on 21 January 2002, not having found sufficient acceptance to warrant an extension.<ref>[http://www.asx.com.au/asx/statistics/displayAnnouncement.do?display=text&issuerId=3211&announcementId=674312 Anglogold closes its offer for Normandy] Normandy ASX announcement, published: 21 January 2002, accessed: 11 February 2010</ref> AngloGold's offer was valued at A$3.2 billion, 30% above Normandy's share price at the time.<ref name="ABC"/>

Normandy was then taken over by ''Delta Acquisition LLC'', a fully owned subsidiary of the [[Newmont Mining Corporation]] in February 2002. The company was delisted from the ASX on 1 July 2002,<ref name="take"/><ref>[http://www.asx.com.au/asx/statistics/announcements.do?by=asxCode&asxCode=NDY&timeframe=Y&year=1998 Search results: Company announcements for NORMANDY MINING LIMITED (NDY)] ASX website, accessed: 11 February 2010</ref> and became Newmont Australia instead.

'''Sir William Grey''' {{post-nominals|country=GBR|KCSI}} (1818 – 15 May 1878) was an English administrator who worked with the [[East India Company]] in India and served as lieutenant-governor of Bengal from 1867 when he succeeded Sir [[Cecil Beadon]] and later as governor of Jamaica.

==Biography==
Grey was the fourth son of [[Edward Grey (bishop)|Edward Grey]], bishop of Hereford while his mother was the daughter of James Croft of Greenham Lodge, near Newbury, Berkshire. Grey studied at [[Christ Church, Oxford]], but did not complete studies and joined the War Office as a clerk. Nominated to work in the Bengal civil service he entered [[Haileybury College]] in January 1839 and passed out in July 1840. During his first term, he was rusticated for late night parties in his room but made up for it in later terms. He went to Bengal in 1840 and worked for a while in various offices before becoming a private secretary to Sir Herbert Maddock in 1845. In 1851 he became secretary of the Bank of Bengal. He became a secretary to the government of Bengal in 1854. He went on furlough to England in January 1857 but was forced back by the [[Indian Rebellion of 1857|rebellion]] in that year. He was appointed director general of the post office in 1859 after holding various temporary offices. In 1861 he became a member of the council of the governor-general of Bengal. In 1867 he became lieutenant-governor of Bengal.<ref name=dnb />

As an administrator, he opposed excessive centralization and helped decentralise the postal department. He opposed the application of income-tax rules in India. He often held opposing views to those of the governor-general Sir [[John Lawrence, 1st Baron Lawrence|John Lawrence]]. He felt that the use of land cess to support education was unjust to the landholders. His position did not find favour with [[Richard Bourke, 6th Earl of Mayo|Lord Mayo]]. He was made Knight Commander of [[Order of the Star of India|The Most Exalted Order of the Star of India]] in the [[1870 Birthday Honours]]. He retired in 1871 and returned to England. In 1874 he accepted a position of governor in Jamaica.<ref name=dnb />

He died at Torquay on 15 May 1878. He was married first in 1845 to Margaret née Jackson and after her death in 1862 he married again in 1865 to Georgina née Plowden. He had five sons and four daughters.<ref name=dnb>{{cite book|title=Dictionary of National Biography, 1885-1900, Volume 23|chapter=Grey, William (1818-1878)|author=Arbuthnot, Alexander John Arbuthnot|pages=216–218|url=https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Grey,_William_(1818-1878)_(DNB00)}}</ref>

==Career and contributions==
He obtained his PhD from the [[University of Salerno]] with a thesis in [[knowledge representation]].<ref>[https://loop.frontiersin.org/people/152903/bio] Loop - Frontiers Biography</ref> and was then a researcher in Artificial Intelligence at the Department of Computer Science of the [[University of Turin]] from 2012 to 2023.<ref>[https://docenti.unisa.it/024406/en/curriculum] - University of Salerno</ref>
He is notable for his work on cognitively-inspired computational models of categorization integrating both [[prototype theory|prototypes]] and [[exemplar theory|exemplars]] based strategies through the combination of [[Peter Gärdenfors]] [[conceptual space]]s with large scale [[Description Logics]] ontologies like [[Cyc]]. His model, called DUAL PECCS, has been used to extend the categorization capabilities of different [[cognitive architectures]].<ref>[https://sh-medieteknik.solidtango.com/video/mb416ht15-25-aug-13-58 Extending the Knowledge Level of General Cognitive Architectures with Conceptual Spaces], Stockholm, Conceptual Spaces workshop, August 2016</ref>

In the context of persuasive technologies he has shown, with Vernero, how arguments reducible to [[logical fallacies]] represent a class of widely adopted persuasive techniques in both web and mobile technologies.<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Lieto |first1=Antonio |last2=Vernero |first2=Fabiana |title=Influencing the Others' Minds: An Experimental Evaluation of the Use and Efficacy of Fallacious-Reducible Arguments in Web and Mobile Technologies |journal=PsychNology Journal |date=2014 |volume=12 |issue=3 |pages=87–105}}</ref> A 2021 report by the [[RAND Corporation|Rand Corporation]] has confirmed this insight by showing that the use of logical fallacies proposed by Lieto and Vernero is one of the rhetorical strategies for automated persuasion used by the Russian agents to influence the online discourse and spread subversive information in Europe.<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Matthews |first1=Miriam |last2=Demus |first2=Alyssa |last3=Treyger |first3=Elina |last4=Posard |first4=Marek N. |last5=Reineger |first5=Hilary |last6=Paul |first6=Christofer |title=Understanding and Defending Against Russia's Malign and Subversive Information Efforts in Europe |journal=Rand Research Report |date=March 2021|url=https://www.rand.org/content/dam/rand/pubs/research_reports/RR3100/RR3160/RAND_RR3160.pdf }}</ref>

Lieto has been Visiting researcher at [[Carnegie Mellon University]], at the [[University of Haifa]] and at [[Lund University]] and has been associate researcher and scientific consultant of the [[National Research Nuclear University MEPhI (Moscow Engineering Physics Institute)]].

The '''Oakville Festivals of Film and Art''' is a not-for-profit organization that runs the Oakville Film Festival, as well as special screening and Arts events such as the Sheridan/OFFA Annual Screening series. The festival celebrated its 10th year in 2023, and has been held the third week of June every year for over 10 years. The festival includes a juried award competition with senior members of the Canadian film and production communities, and Audience Choice Awards for the best feature and best short film. The festival uses Film Freeway for its submissions, which are open 1st November every year, and has a track record of programming over 70% of its programming from the platform. The festival screens its films at three primary venues in Oakville: Film.ca Cinemas, The Five Drive In, and the Oakville Centre for the Performing Arts.

The festival is a Canadian Screen Award Qualifying Event. An Industry Summit for the Canadian Film Industry and local filmmakers is held every year in conjunction with the festival, but during the pandemic, this became a year-round event that features live and virtual industry workshops/panels, which provide professional development for the filmmaking community.<ref>{{Citation |title=Diane Akam (Director) And John Cullen (Subject) talk new documentary with Matt Gurney |url=https://soundcloud.com/canadatalks/diane-akam-director-and-john-cullen-subject-talk-new-documentary-about-parkinsons-with-matt-gurney |access-date=2022-07-08 |language=en}}</ref> To date, the festival has attracted over 25,000 event participants, screened almost 700 films, and attracted over 1000 industry guests.<ref name=":2">{{Cite web |title=Bringing peace to the world, one chocolate at a time |url=https://torontosun.com/life/food/bringing-peace-to-the-world-one-chocolate-at-a-time |access-date=2022-07-08 |website=torontosun |language=en-CA}}</ref>
