https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Priti%20Shankar | Priti Shankar (née Priti Monteiro; September 1947 – October 2011) was an Indian teacher, researcher, and educationist whose research focused on the areas of compiler design, formal language theory and algorithmic coding theory.
Early life and career
Priti Shankar was born in a Goan family. Her father, Innocencio Monteiro, was a Brigadier in the Indian Army while her mother, Sophia, was a mathematics and French teacher.
In 1958 her parents moved from Khadakwasla, Pune to Jammu where her father served along India-Pakistan border in Surankote. As a result of the move Priti had skipped six months of school and therefore was coached at home by her mother. A few years later, she returned to Pune and enrolled into Fergusson College. She later attended Indian Institute of Technology in Delhi from which she was the first female to be graduated with a Bachelor of Technology degree in electrical engineering in 1968. Following the graduation she applied to the University of Maryland, College Park from which in 1972 she received her Ph.D. A year later she returned to India and was appointed as an assistant professor at the Centre for Automation at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc), Bangalore and worked there till retirement.
In 1979 Priti had pioneered the science field by developing a BCH code which were defined over finite fields and therefore became operational over finite rings. In 2002 she was a co-editor of CRC Press, along with Y. N. Srikant and also served on leadership board of the Resonance, a peer reviewed journal of India.
Personal life
Priti had numerous siblings, including Sunitha Noronha; Vivek Monteiro, a theoretical physicist; Anjali Monteiro, a filmmaker and professor of media studies; and Nandita de Souza a developmental and behavioural pediatrician. In 1974 she married P. N. Shankar, a theoretical fluid dynamicist at the National Aerospace Laboratories of Bangalore. In 1976 she gave a birth to a son named Nachiket and in 1983 Mridula, a daughter, was born.
Honours
In 2007, Shankar received the Jaya Jayant award for teaching excellence and between 2006 and 2009 she was named a Distinguished Lecturer by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers.
Legacy
The Priti Shankar Library of Popular Math and Science is housed in the UMED building of the Navnirmiti Learning Foundation.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eye%20Witness%20%28TV%20series%29 | Eye Witness is a 30-minute American television anthology series that was broadcast live from New York City on the NBC television network beginning March 30, 1953, and ending June 29, 1953. Richard Carlson was the initial host, and Lee Bowman succeeded him. Robert Montgomery was the producer, and the series was produced by his company, Neptune Productions. Perry Lafferty was the director.
The show's stories dealt with characters involved in strange twists of fate and the supernatural. Each week, the guest host or hostess starred the following week on Montgomery's other NBC series, Robert Montgomery Presents.
Among its guest stars were Eva Marie Saint, John Newland, Nita Talbot, Melville Cooper, James Gregory, Fay Bainter and Emlyn Williams.
Eye Witness was on Monday nights from 9 to 9:30 Eastern Time. It replaced Hollywood Opening Night on NBC's schedule. Its competition included I Love Lucy and The Big Idea on Dumont. The sponsor was Ennds, a product of Pearson Pharmacal Company. Pearson, however, sought to withdraw sponsorship as a result of "the roasting the show got from most critics" following its premiere. By May 9, 1953, Ennds had ended its sponsorship, and NBC was offering a discounted approach to any sponsor willing to take the time slot with Eye Witness "or any one of several other shows" that NBC could provide. The proposal said that if the show received a Nielsen rating of 16 or lower, the sponsor would pay nothing for talent and production. An episode rated 16-20 would cost $2,352.94, and one rated 20-25 would cost $5,882.35. Ratings above 25 would increase proportionately.
Critical reception
Media critic John Crosby attributed NBC with "a surprising burst of initiative" in scheduling what the network described as an "'off beat' mystery" opposite I Love Lucy, rather than scheduling a similar kind of situation comedy. He added, however, that in one episode the presentation was so off beat and combined with "elaborate trickery" that "you never have seen or heard so much malarkey in your life." He concluded, "Eye Witness is a pretty bad show."
A review in the trade publication Broadcasting described the premiere episode as one with "the stock situation, typed characters, trite dialogue and obvious conclusion that you might find in a primer on how to write a TV script". It summarized the presentation as taking "the line of least resistance, which in this case led straight to mediocrity".

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Count-distinct%20problem | In computer science, the count-distinct problem
(also known in applied mathematics as the cardinality estimation problem) is the problem of finding the number of distinct elements in a data stream with repeated elements.
This is a well-known problem with numerous applications. The elements might represent IP addresses of packets passing through a router, unique visitors to a web site, elements in a large database, motifs in a DNA sequence, or elements of RFID/sensor networks.
Formal definition
Instance: Consider a stream of elements with repetitions, and an integer . Let denote the number of distinct elements in the stream, represented as , where .
Objective: Find an estimate of using only storage units, where .
An example of an instance for the cardinality estimation problem is the stream: . For this instance, .
Naive solution
The naive solution to the problem is as follows:
Initialize a counter, , to zero,
Initialize an efficient dictionary data structure, , such as hash table or search tree in which insertion and membership can be performed quickly.
, a membership query is issued.
Increase by one,
Otherwise do nothing.
As long as the number of distinct elements is not too big, fits in main memory and an exact answer can be retrieved.
However, this approach does not scale for bounded storage, or if the computation performed for each element should be minimized. In such a case, several streaming algorithms have been proposed that use a fixed number of storage units.
HyperLogLog algorithm
Streaming algorithms
To handle the bounded storage constraint, streaming algorithms use a randomization to produce a non-exact estimation of the distinct number of elements, .
State-of-the-art estimators hash every element into a low-dimensional data sketch using a hash function, .
The different techniques can be classified according to the data sketches they store.
Min/max sketches
Min/max sketches store only the minimum/maximum hashed values. Examples of known min/max sketch estimators: Chassaing et al. presents max sketch which is the minimum-variance unbiased estimator for the problem. The continuous max sketches estimator is the maximum likelihood estimator. The estimator of choice in practice is the HyperLogLog algorithm.
The intuition behind such estimators is that each sketch carries information about the desired quantity. For example, when every element is associated with a uniform RV, , the expected minimum value of is . The hash function guarantees that is identical for all the appearances of . Thus, the existence of duplicates does not affect the value of the extreme order statistics.
There are other estimation techniques other than min/max sketches. The first paper on count-distinct estimation describes the Flajolet–Martin algorithm, a bit pattern sketch. In this case, the elements are hashed into a bit vector and the sketch holds the logical OR of all hashed values. The |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BBC%20Lab%20UK | BBC Lab UK was a BBC website that allowed the public to take part in online experiments by completing tests and surveys. The website was active for four years until its data collection ceased in May 2013. Details of the experiments and projects have now been archived.
Lab UK was commissioned in 2008 by BBC Commissioner Lisa Sargood, inspired by other online 'citizen science' projects such as Galaxy Zoo, the BBC Climate Change Experiment and BugGuide. The intention was to enable leading academics to harness the BBC's audience, using mass public participation to explore scientific hypotheses with very large data sets. The results would be published in academic journals and made available to the public through the BBC website and television.
Lab UK was conceived by BBC executive producer Richard Cable, who also edited it from 2008 to 2011. A number of professional scientists were engaged to consult on the design and development of the website, as well as the design of individual experiments which the public would engage with.
Each web experiment was structured to give feedback on the activity of the participant, immediately after they had submitted their data. Collectively, the experiment data would be handed over securely to the scientist who had designed the experiment. The analysis of the experiment data would be conducted by the scientist's research team. Where possible, the BBC actively encouraged the publication of the results in peer-reviewed journals.
The first experiment was published in 2009 and the final experiment was launched in 2012. The website stopped collecting data in May 2013 after its migration to the Knowledge & Learning product. The website was formally archived in March 2016.
History
The BBC's iF&L department had published several online quizzes to accompany BBC science television programming. Scientists such as Dr. Val Curtis and Dr. Stian Reimers asked whether they might analyse the anonymous data generated by the completion of these online quizzes. In 'The Disgust Test' and 'Sex ID', specific hypotheses were tested in the online experiments. The results were published in specialist journals. BBC's Multiplatform commissioners decided to make a re-usable experiment publication platform that could save all data to a common database.
Experiments
The Big Stress Test
The Big Stress Test was Lab UK's beta launch candidate in May 2009. The experiment was designed by Professor Peter Kinderman from the University of Liverpool and Dr Sara Tai from the University of Manchester. The experiment was promoted via the BBC's mental health and wellbeing website 'Headroom'. This experiment received roughly 6,000 participants. The experiment was updated and re-launched in 2011.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UV%20curing | UV curing (ultraviolet curing) is the process by which ultraviolet light is used to initiate a photochemical reaction that generates a crosslinked network of polymers. UV curing is adaptable to printing, coating, decorating, stereolithography, and in the assembly of a variety of products and materials. In comparison to other technologies, curing with UV energy may be considered a low-temperature process, a high-speed process, and is a solventless process, as cure occurs via direct polymerization rather than by evaporation. Originally introduced in the 1960s, this technology has streamlined and increased automation in many industries in the manufacturing sector.
Applications
UV curing is used in applications where there is a need for converting or curing inks, adhesives, and coatings. UV-cured adhesive has become a high speed replacement for two-part adhesives, eliminating the need for solvent removal, ratio mixing, and potential life concern. It can be used in the flexographic, offset, pad, and screen printing processes, where UV curing systems are used to polymerize images on screen-printed products, ranging from T-shirts to 3D and cylindrical parts. It is used in fine instrument finishing (guitars, violins, ukuleles, etc.), pool cue manufacturing and other wood craft industries. Printing with UV curable inks provides the ability to print on a very wide variety of substrates such as plastics, paper, canvas, glass, metal, foam boards, tile, films, and many other materials.
Other industries that take advantage of UV curing include medicine, automobiles, cosmetics (for example artificial fingernails and gel nail polish), food, science, education, and art. UV curable inks have met the requirements of the publication sector on a variety of papers and boards.
Advantages of UV curing
A primary advantage of curing with ultraviolet light is the speed at which a material can be processed. Speeding up the curing or drying step in a process can reduce flaws and errors by decreasing time that an ink or coating spends wet. This can increase the quality of a finished item, and potentially allow for greater consistency. Another benefit to decreasing manufacturing time is that less space needs to be devoted to storing items which can not be used until the drying step is finished.
Because UV energy has unique interactions with many different materials, UV curing allows for the creation of products with characteristics not achievable via other means. This has led to UV curing becoming fundamental in many fields of manufacturing and technology, where changes in strength, hardness, durability, chemical resistance, and many other properties are required.
Types of UV curing lamps
Medium-pressure lamps
Medium-pressure mercury-vapor lamps have historically been the industry standard for curing products with ultraviolet light. The bulbs work by sending an electric discharge to excite a mixture of mercury and noble gases, generating a plasma. Once the mercury re |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/In%20Ramada%20Da%20Vida | "In Ramada Da Vida" is the second episode of the fourth season of the American sitcom The Drew Carey Show, and the 77th overall. It first aired on September 30, 1998 on the ABC network in the United States. The plot of the episode sees Drew (Drew Carey) and his friends form a band to play at a Ramada Inn. After they are offered a regular gig by the hotel manager, they realise they need a guitarist and audition several hopefuls. Meanwhile, Kate O'Brien (Christa Miller) decides to quit her job to find something more fulfilling.
The episode was written by Clay Graham and directed by Gerry Cohen. It was filmed in Los Angeles during the week commencing August 24, 1998. The episode's usual theme tune sequence was replaced by an elaborate opening that shows the characters carrying out a series of repetitive actions. "In Ramada Da Vida" featured guest appearances from several musicians chosen by Carey, including Lisa Loeb, Slash, Joey Ramone, Dave Mustaine, and James Gang members Joe Walsh, Jim Fox and Dale Peters. The episode also marked the first of five guest appearances by Pauley Perrette as Drew's groupie girlfriend Darcy.
"In Ramada Da Vida" was seen by an estimated 11.4 million viewing households, finishing in 11th place in the ratings for the week it aired. Critical response was mixed to positive. Steve Johnson from the Chicago Tribune thought it demonstrated a "shaggy charm" and observed that Carey worked well with the plot. While Neal Justin of the Star Tribune enjoyed Walsh's "hilarious" performance and the opening sequence. However, he did not think the jokes were quite good enough. While The Sydney Morning Herald's Bruce Elder did not care for the episode beyond the opening minutes.
Plot
Drew (Drew Carey) is tasked with entertaining some Vietnamese investors, who are thinking of opening a Winfred-Louder department store in Hanoi. During drinks at a Ramada Inn, Drew and his friends, Lewis Kiniski (Ryan Stiles) and Oswald Lee Harvey (Diedrich Bader), notice the house band is on a break and take to the stage to entertain the investors. The hotel's manager (Rick Scarry) enjoys their performance and asks them to play at the Inn for the rest of the week. Drew thinks it would be a distraction, but changes his mind when he meets Darcy, a groupie who finds him attractive. The guys audition for a guitar player and after turning down a number of guitarists, they hire Ed (Joe Walsh), believing that his skills will not show them up. Meanwhile, Drew's friend, Kate O'Brien (Christa Miller), tries to get herself fired as she hates her job. Drew allows Kate to quit, but promises that he will re-hire her if she cannot find another job in a week.
Mimi Bobeck (Kathy Kinney) comes to the Inn to inform Drew that he is expected to appear at a party hosted by Mrs. Louder (Nan Martin), as they have closed the Vietnam deal. Mimi laughs at Drew when he chooses to skip the party and continue playing with the band. The hotel manager invites the Horndogs to become th |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lo%20Nuestro%20Award%20for%20Urban%20Album%20of%20the%20Year | The Lo Nuestro Award for Urban Album of the Year is an honor presented annually by American television network Univision at the Lo Nuestro Awards. The accolade was established to recognize the most talented performers of Latin music. The nominees and winners were originally selected by a voting poll conducted among program directors of Spanish-language radio stations in the United States and also based on chart performance on Billboard Latin music charts, with the results being tabulated and certified by the accounting firm Deloitte. However, since 2004, the winners are selected through an online survey. The trophy awarded is shaped in the form of a treble clef.
The award was first presented in 2003 to Is Back by Panamanian performer El General, who also won the following year. Puerto-Rican American reggaeton duo Wisin & Yandel is the most nominated act, with seven nominations, and also are the most awarded, with four wins. Their winning albums Wisin vs. Yandel: Los Extraterrestres (2009), Wisin & Yandel Presentan: La Mente Maestra (with DJ Nesty) (2010), La Revolucion: Evolucion (2011), and Líderes (2013), also reached number-one at the Billboard Latin Albums chart. Los Extraterrestres also received the Grammy Award and Latin Grammy Award for Best Urban Music Album. Barrio Fino by Puerto-Rican American rapper Daddy Yankee was awarded the Lo Nuestro for Urban Album of the Year in 2005; with the album Daddy Yankee was the first reggaeton act to debut at the top of the Billboard Latin Albums chart and became the best-selling Latin album of the decade (2000-2010) in the United States. Puerto Rican performer Ivy Queen is the only female artist to win the award, receiving it in 2008 for her album Sentimiento (2007). Puerto-Rican American reggaeton performer Don Omar is the most nominated artist without a win, with five unsuccessful nominations. In 2017, Pretty Boy / Dirty Boy by Colombian artist Maluma became the last award recipient, as in the nominations for the 2019 awards, the category for Urban Album of the Year was not included.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List%20of%20SDN%20controller%20software | Software-defined networking (SDN) is a marketing term which refers to software to configure and operate computer networks (especially data center networks) through a centralized software controller that dictates how the network behaves. The core of this new paradigm is the SDN controller.
There are typically two sets of SDN controllers:
SDN controllers for the network function virtualization (NFV) of a datacenter,
SDN controllers for managing the programmable switches of a network.
In case of SDN controllers for the NFV Infrastructure of a datacenter, they are mostly designed to provide some policy and centralized managements for the Openstack Neutron networking layer that will provide inter-working between the virtual ports created by Nova. The technology of SDN controllers is to manage the Linux kernel features made of L3 IP routing, Linux bridges, iptables or ebtables, network namespaces and Open vSwitch.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad%20Air%202 | The iPad Air 2 is the second-generation iPad Air tablet computer designed, developed, and marketed by Apple Inc. It was announced on October 16, 2014, alongside the iPad Mini 3, both of which were released on October 22, 2014. The iPad Air 2 is thinner, lighter and faster than its predecessor, the first-generation iPad Air, and features Touch ID with the height, width and screen size the same as the iPad Air.
The first-generation iPad Pro replaced the iPad Air 2 as the flagship iPad model, with the 9.7 inch version releasing March 31, 2016, and the Air 2 being relegated as the mid-range iPad model.
The iPad Air 2 was discontinued on March 21, 2017, as was the iPad Mini 2, alongside the introduction of the iPad (5th generation), which replaced the Air 2 as the entry-level iPad model. Its successor, the third-generation iPad Air, was released on March 18, 2019. The iPad Air 2 supported eight versions of iOS and iPadOS, from iOS 8 to iPadOS 15, and does not support iPadOS 16 due to hardware limitations.
History
The iPad Air 2 was announced during a keynote on October 16, 2014, and was the first iPad to feature Touch ID. The theme of the keynote was "it's been way too long". The Air 2 began arriving in retail stores on October 22, 2014. The slogan for the device was Change Is in the Air. With the release of the new iPad Pro, the slogan for the device was changed to Light. Heavyweight.
Features
Software
The iPad Air 2 originally shipped with iOS 8 pre-installed and includes a version of Apple Pay with the in-store NFC functionality removed. The included Touch ID sensor allows the user to pay for items online without needing to enter the user's card details.
iOS 8 comes with several built-in applications, which are Camera, Photos, Messages, FaceTime, Mail, Music, Safari, Maps, Siri, Calendar, iTunes Store, App Store, Notes, Contacts, iBooks, Home, Reminders, Clock, Videos, News, Photo Booth and Podcasts. The Apple App Store, a digital application distribution platform for iOS, allows users to browse and download applications made by various developers from the iTunes Store. Additional apps made by Apple itself are available for free download, which are iMovie, GarageBand, iTunes U, Find My iPhone, Find My Friends, Apple Store, Trailers, Remote, and the iWork apps (Pages, Keynote, and Numbers). Like all iOS devices, the iPad Air 2 can also sync content and other data with a Mac or PC using iTunes. Although the tablet is not designed to make phone calls over a cellular network, it can place and receive phone calls through an iPhone's cellular connection, using Apple's Continuity feature (supported on iOS 8 and later versions of iOS, and OS X Yosemite and later versions of macOS), or using a VoIP application, such as Skype.
On June 8, 2015, it was announced at the WWDC that the iPad Air 2 would support all of iOS 9's new features when it is released in Q3 2015. Air 2 users with iOS 9 will be able to use Slide Over, Picture in Picture and Split V |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doto%20cuspidata | Doto cuspidata is a species of sea slug, a nudibranch, a marine gastropod mollusc in the family Dotidae.
Distribution
This species was first described from Shetland. It has subsequently been reported widely in Britain and Ireland as far south as Lundy Island, Bristol Channel.
Description
This nudibranch has the body spattered with dark brown or black pigment on a cream background. In some individuals the black can merge to give an almost completely black animal. There are no spots on the tips of the ceratal tubercles, which are somewhat pointed and have small white glands inside them, as in most species of Doto. The rims of the rhinophore sheaths are normally divided into lobes.
EcologyDoto cuspidata feeds on the hydroid Nemertesia ramosa'', family Plumulariidae.

Main characters
Barry Allen / Flash
Bartholomew Henry "Barry" Allen (portrayed by Grant Gustin; seasons 1–9) is the main protagonist of the series. He is an awkward assistant crime-scene investigator (CSI) for the Central City Police Department (CCPD) who moonlights as the Flash. Barry is traumatized as a child when his mother Nora is murdered by the Reverse-Flash and his father Henry is framed for the crime. Barry tries to discover what happened that night. He first appears in Arrow, personally investigating a superhuman-related crime in Starling City. Barry is a fan of the Arrow's exploits and learns Oliver Queen is the vigilante; they become good friends. Sometime after Barry returns to Central City, he is struck in his laboratory by lightning which was affected by dark matter from the explosion of the S.T.A.R. Labs' particle accelerator. Logan Williams portrays Barry as a child (recurring: season 1; guest: season 2).
Savitar
Savitar (also portrayed by Gustin: seasons 3 & 5; performed by Andre Tricoteux; recurring: season 3; archive footage: season 5; guest: season 9; and voiced by Tobin Bell in exosuit; recurring: season 3; archive footage: season 5; guest: season 9) is a temporal duplicate of Barry from a possible future who travels back in time and becomes embedded in a bootstrap paradox. He serves as the main antagonist of season three.
Iris West-Allen
Iris Ann West-Allen (portrayed by Candice Patton; seasons 1–9) is a reporter and the daughter of Joe, the wife of Barry, and head of Central City Citizen Media.
Caitlin Snow
Dr. Caitlin Snow (portrayed by Danielle Panabaker; main: seasons 1–9) is a bioengineer who works at S.T.A.R. Labs, the daughter of scientists Thomas Snow and Carla Tannhauser, and the wife of Ronnie Raymond. She temporarily shares her body with an alter-ego named Killer Frost, and is later temporarily "replaced" with a new personality named Khione.
In the Reverse-Flashpoint timeline, Caitlin dates Marcus Ficus.
Killer Frost / Frost
Killer Frost (also portrayed by Danielle Panabaker; seasons 2–9) is Caitlin's violent metahuman alter-ego who was inadvertently created by Thomas during his experiments to treat Caitlin's ALS gene. In later seasons, she works alongside Team Flash as just "Frost". When hit by Mirror Monarch's mirror gun, she and Caitlin split into two bodies. Frost briefly transforms into Hellfrost and gives h |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Probabilistic%20soft%20logic | Probabilistic Soft Logic (PSL) is a statistical relational learning (SRL) framework for modeling probabilistic and relational domains.
It is applicable to a variety of machine learning problems, such as collective classification, entity resolution, link prediction, and ontology alignment.
PSL combines two tools: first-order logic, with its ability to succinctly represent complex phenomena, and probabilistic graphical models, which capture the uncertainty and incompleteness inherent in real-world knowledge.
More specifically, PSL uses "soft" logic as its logical component and Markov random fields as its statistical model.
PSL provides sophisticated inference techniques for finding the most likely answer (i.e. the maximum a posteriori (MAP) state).
The "softening" of the logical formulas makes inference a polynomial time operation rather than an NP-hard operation.
Description
The SRL community has introduced multiple approaches that combine graphical models and first-order logic to allow the development of complex probabilistic models with relational structures.
A notable example of such approaches is Markov logic networks (MLNs).
Like MLNs, PSL is a modelling language (with an accompanying implementation) for learning and predicting in relational domains.
Unlike MLNs, PSL uses soft truth values for predicates in an interval between [0,1].
This allows for the underlying inference to be solved quickly as a convex optimization problem.
This is useful in problems such as collective classification, link prediction, social network modelling, and object identification/entity resolution/record linkage.
Probabilistic Soft Logic was first released in 2009 by Lise Getoor and Matthias Broecheler.
This first version focused heavily on reasoning about similarities between entities.
Later versions of PSL would still keep the ability to reason about similarities, but generalize the language to be more expressive.
In 2017, a Journal of Machine Learning Research article detailing PSL and the underlying graphical model was published along with the release of a new major version of PSL (2.0.0).
The major new features in PSL 2.0.0 was a new type of rule mainly used in specifying constraints and a command-line interface.
Syntax and Semantics
Terminology
PSL Program — A collection of rules, each of which is a template for a potential in a graphical model.
Rule — An expression relating atoms. Rules will typically take the form of either a first-order logical implication or a linear combination.
Constant — A string or number that represents a real element in the universe over which a PSL program represents. Constants can represent attributes or entire entities.
Variable — An identifier for which constants can be substituted.
Term — Either a constant or a variable.
Predicate — A relation defined by a unique name and a number of arguments it accepts.
Atom — A predicate along with its term arguments.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The%20Big%20Adventure | The Big Adventure is an Australian reality television series that premiered on the Seven Network on 19 October 2014, and is hosted by Jason Dundas.
Show details
Set on a tropical island, a cast of twelve contestants competed for . A grid of 25 squares was set up, 12 of which contained keys. Contestants competed in a series of tasks for the right to dig for a key. Each episode one contestant would dig and one would (usually) be eliminated. In the last episode, four remaining contestants used their keys to open chests, one of which contained the prize money.
The show premiered on Sunday, 19 October, at 6:30pm, and then filled the timeslots vacated by the recently concluded season of The X Factor Australia for two weeks before disappointing ratings saw the show revert to airing once a week, taking effect on 9 November 2014.
The prize money offered was equal to the highest single prize ever given away on Australian television (having been twice awarded on the Nine Network's Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?, and once as the grand prize on Network Ten's Big Brother Australia for its 2004 edition). This was later beaten by Million Dollar Minute contestant Andrew Skarbek, who won $1,016,000.

Episodes
Episode 1
Island Race: The team of twelve were to split into two teams (orange and blue) and were asked to row to an island not far from their starting destination. Before starting, each team had to build their boats using materials found on the beach nearby. Upon arriving on the island, each team would then be required to carry their barrels inland, and ultimately, to the centre of the island where the 5 x 5 grid was located. Whichever team arrived first would win the challenge and thus move further to having the right to dig within the 5 x 5 square grid the following night. That team was the orange team, who were later informed that they would have to compete in an individual challenge against one another for the right to dig in the treasure grid.
True Colours: The players were asked to traverse a course off shore and match the flags, as seen from a far distance, on the structure. As the winning team from the previous challenge, each player from the Orange team, except for Paula who injured her ankle shortly after the first challenge the previous day, were to run across a bridge, grab a telescope, view the six flags from the far distance, return to the platform, jump into the water, find the six flags then try to memorise the pattern that they had seen through the telescope. Whichever player was first to win the challenge (that is, correctly reprising the pattern that they saw through the telescope) would then have the right to dig through the treasured grid at the end of the episode.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperbolic%20geometric%20graph | A hyperbolic geometric graph (HGG) or hyperbolic geometric network (HGN) is a special type of spatial network where (1) latent coordinates of nodes are sprinkled according to a probability density function into a
hyperbolic space of constant negative curvature and (2) an edge between two nodes is present if they are close according to a function of the metric (typically either a Heaviside step function resulting in deterministic connections between vertices closer than a certain threshold distance, or a decaying function of hyperbolic distance yielding the connection probability). A HGG generalizes a random geometric graph (RGG) whose embedding space is Euclidean.
Mathematical formulation
Mathematically, a HGG is a graph with a vertex set V (cardinality ) and an edge set E constructed by considering the nodes as points placed onto a 2-dimensional hyperbolic space of constant negative Gaussian curvature, and cut-off radius , i.e. the radius of the Poincaré disk which can be visualized using a hyperboloid model.
Each point has hyperbolic polar coordinates with and .
The hyperbolic law of cosines allows to measure the distance between two points and ,
The angle is the (smallest) angle between the two
position vectors.
In the simplest case, an edge is established iff (if and only if) two nodes are within a certain neighborhood radius , , this corresponds to an influence threshold.
Connectivity decay function
In general, a link will be established with a probability depending on the distance .
A connectivity decay function represents the probability of assigning an edge to a pair of nodes at distance .
In this framework, the simple case of hard-code neighborhood like in random geometric graphs is referred to as truncation decay function.
Generating hyperbolic geometric graphs
Krioukov et al. describe how to generate hyperbolic geometric graphs with uniformly random node distribution (as well as generalized versions) on a disk of radius in . These graphs yield a power-law distribution for the node degrees. The angular coordinate of each point/node is chosen uniformly random from , while the density function for the radial coordinate r is chosen according to the probability distribution :
The growth parameter controls the distribution: For , the distribution is uniform in , for smaller values the nodes are distributed more towards the center of the disk and for bigger values more towards the border. In this model, edges between nodes and exist iff or with probability if a more general connectivity decay function is used. The average degree is controlled by the radius of the hyperbolic disk. It can be shown, that for the node degrees follow a power law distribution with exponent .
The image depicts randomly generated graphs for different values of and in . It can be seen how has an effect on the distribution of the nodes and on the connectivity of the graph. The native representation where the distance variables |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stand%20Up%20to%20Cancer%20%28UK%29 | Stand Up to Cancer (SU2C) is the UK version of Stand Up to Cancer, a US charitable television telethon, broadcast between 2012 and 2018 on the Channel 4 network in the United Kingdom, and again from 2020. The most recent edition of the telethon was on 15 October 2021, a programme which was hosted by Davina McCall, Alan Carr, Maya Jama and Adam Hills. By February 2015, the 2014 broadcast had raised £15,585,444 in pledges, in aid of cancer research.
History
SU2C was formally launched on 27 May 2008 in the US by Entertainment Industry Foundation (EIF), and aims to raise significant funds for cancer research through online and televised efforts. The US programme is a telethon, where three of the major broadcast networks (ABC, NBC, CBS) broadcast to over 170 countries on 5 September 2008, raising over $100 million after that evening's broadcast.
Three further telethons have been broadcast in USA on 10 September 2010, 7 September 2012 and 5 September 2014, and were made available to more than 190 countries. To date, more than $261 million has been pledged to support SU2C's innovative cancer research programs. and 2014. Current members of the SU2C Council of Founders and Advisors (CFA) include Katie Couric, Sherry Lansing, Kathleen Lobb, Lisa Paulsen, Rusty Robertson, Sue Schwartz, Pamela Oas Williams, and Ellen Ziffren. All current members of the CFA were co-producers of the 2012 televised special. The late co-founder Laura Ziskin executive produced both the 5 September 2008 and 10 September 2010 broadcasts.
UK launch
In August 2012, Channel 4 and the UK cancer charity Cancer Research UK joined forces to launch a British version of ‘Stand Up To Cancer'. This consisted of a season of factual, entertainment and health programming building up to a live telethon event on Friday 19 October 2012.
Jay Hunt, Chief Creative Officer of Channel 4, says: "Sadly most of us - more than 1 in 3 - will be touched by cancer at some point in our lives. Stand Up To Cancer is about doing what Channel 4 does best - focusing attention on an important issue using entertainment and comedy. We hope to raise vital funds for trials that could save lives." Dr Harpal Kumar, Cancer Research UK's chief executive, says: "We want everyone in the UK to unite and stand up to this devastating disease. We've made incredible progress in the last 40 years but there's so much more to do. It's not just technology or knowledge that we need to win our fight to beat cancer - it's funding - and every pound we raise is a step closer to achieving our goal to beat this disease. We are entering the ‘golden age' of cancer research - but each and every one of us can stand up and make a difference right now to come together to raise vital funds for clinical research, accelerate progress and ultimately save more lives."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economic%20corridor | Economic corridors are integrated networks of infrastructure within a geographical area designed to stimulate economic development. They connect different economic agents in a particular geographic area. Corridors may be developed within a country or between countries. Corridors exist in Asia, Africa, and other areas.
Economic corridors often feature integrated infrastructure, such as highways, railroads and ports, and may link cities or countries. Corridors may be created to link manufacturing hubs, areas with high supply and demand, and manufacturers of value-added goods. When implemented, economic corridors are often one of a package of different measures including infrastructure development, visa and transport agreements, and standardisation. Consideration of social needs, such as housing, is often considered.
The Asian Development Bank coined the term in 1998.
In practice, the term "economic corridors" has most often been used to connote road highways (e.g. East-West Economic Corridor and Southern Economic Corridor of the Greater Mekong Subregion program (GMS)). The China-Pakistan Economic Corridor is also anchored on transport connectivity, including several power plants. More recent work has emphasized the need for a clear link of linear infrastructure (like roads) to broader, spatial economic activities. A corridor exemplifying this is the Almaty–Bishkek Economic Corridor (ABEC).
Benefits
Regional integration
Economic corridors not only connect regions and countries through transportation but also strengthen infrastructure construction by establishing industrial clusters, thereby attracting investment and developing regional economy. They are part of infrastructure and integrated economic strategy. As Brunner points out: "They do not stand alone, as their role in regional economic development can be comprehended only in terms of the network effects that they induce".
Economic development
A well-functioning industrial cluster will greatly stimulate economic development. As part of a comprehensive strategic development plan and integrated economic network, the economic corridor will integrate economic development in several regions, within a country, and between neighbouring countries. Due to the reduction of transportation and communication costs, smooth connection of various industrial chains, and the shortening of delivery time, many costs have been saved during economic production. At the same time, the economic corridor can also promote the development of other local industries, such as tourism and hotels.
Employment
As a development strategy and infrastructure construction, the economic corridor will drive the development of regional industries and create thousands of local jobs. Among them, the tourism industry, hotel industry, catering industry and other service industries will gain huge development opportunities. In addition, the transnational economic corridor will also stimulate the development of foreign trade, and pe |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International%20Waters%20%28podcast%29 | International Waters was a comedy podcast hosted by Dave Holmes since renamed as Troubled Waters and distributed by the Maximum Fun network. The show pits teams of comedians from the United States and the United Kingdom against each other in a panel game format.
History
The first episode of International Waters was released on March 18, 2012. The show was hosted by public radio producer and Maximum Fun founder Jesse Thorn until September 2013, with guest hosts Jordan Morris and Dave Holmes occasionally filling in. After a break in the show in late 2013, Holmes took over as full-time host on January 15, 2014, with episode 18. In February 2019, the show underwent a format and title change, and became "Troubled Waters," in which two teams, each taking one side of a common disagreement, compete in a trivia contest over "the right to be right."
Format
The podcast features two competing teams of comedians who must answer questions about pop culture to earn points. One team consists of two comedians from the US, and the other team consists of two comedians from the UK (with Canada occasionally used as an alternative competing nation). The opening round consists of questions based on current affairs, followed by a second round in which the American contestants answer questions about a topic from British pop-culture, and vice versa. The host awards points for correct answers and for answers that are "wrong, but funny." The final round, usually worth a game-winning '1 million points', typically asks contestants to construct an argument about or pitch an idea for a chosen topic, with Holmes adjudicating on the funniest or most creative answer.
The show is written by Riley Silverman and John-Luke Roberts and is produced by Jennifer Marmor, Laura Swisher and Christian Duenas.
Guests
International Waters has featured several notable guests, including Fergus Craig, Starlee Kine, Josie Long, Susan Orlean, Paul F. Tompkins, and Janet Varney
Reception
The Daily Dot listed International Waters at #6 on its roundup of the ten best podcasts of 2012. It said of the show, "You may not learn much, but you’ll laugh... a lot." Pete Naughton of The Daily Telegraph put the show on his list of best podcasts in October 2014, saying it "makes for some good (and often strongly worded) transatlantic banter."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TV%20gateway | A TV gateway (also called network TV tuner) is a television headend to a network UPnP router that receives live digital video broadcast (DVB) MPEG transport streams (channels) from terrestrial aerials, satellite dishes, or cable feeds and converts them into IP streams for distribution over an IP network.
TV gateways allow users to stream broadcast live TV content to connected devices on the IP network, including tablets, smartphones, computers, gaming consoles and smart tvs. They also allow multiple users to watch and record different channels at the same time.
The device offers multi-platform, multi-screen broadcast television with rich live TV content and high quality HD channels.
Digital TV signals used in TV gateways
Most TV gateways support free-to-air (FTA) television services found in many countries. These include services such as Freeview and Freesat in the United Kingdom, TNT in France and TDT in Spain, and basic cable packages in Germany, Switzerland, Austria, and others.
A few TV gateways also support third party conditional access modules (CAMs) for premium pay TV channels, which are transmitted by using a CAM CI card provided by the broadcasters or by third party manufacturers to access their TV service.
Uses
While many first-generation TV gateways support only one channel or a limited number of channels, modern TV gateways provide multiple TV tuners that can process several channels simultaneously. The more channels a TV gateway provides the more users it can service at the same time. Modern TV gateways also allow users to record TV programs to a USB flash drive, or external hard disk and in some cases, shared folders or network attached storage (NAS).
Electronic program guide
An electronic program guide (EPG) is like a traditional TV listing magazine but available online or on a TV service like aerial, satellite or cable. It allows viewers to find out what shows will air and search for programs they’d like to watch. EPG's also allow users to set reminders and record shows automatically.
Most TV gateways with PVR functionality offer EPG data. This can be free of charge for data processed from the broadcaster TV stream (according to standard DVB EN 300 468 and technical specification TS 101 211) or via a paid service provided by a third party online EPG provider.
Whole house DVR
Whole house HD-digital video recorder allows users to record programs on a centralized TV gateway DVR and then watch them on any device connected to their home network.
TV gateways with whole house HD-DVR require storage to record live TV programs or schedule future recordings using the EPG.
Whole house DVR TV gateways use a number of storage mediums to store recordings:
Attached USB storage such as removable HDD or USB flash drives
Network Windows shared folder
Network attached storage (NAS)
Streaming protocols
Unicast (HTTP) protocols are mainly used in consumer grade TV gateways to provide a small number of simultaneous users with the f |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amanda%20%28TV%20program%29 | Amanda is an American music television program starring Amanda Randolph that debuted on the DuMont Television Network on November 1, 1948. The ending date for the show is unclear, but it still appears in a TV schedule from October 1949.
Broadcast history
Aired in New York City at 9:45 am ET on the DuMont Television Network's flagship station WABD (some sources say the show aired noon to 12;15 pm ET). The show was a 15-minute daytime music program starring Amanda Randolph, who hosted the program and sang.
The program is significant as one of the first regularly scheduled television show to feature an African-American woman as host. On the program, Randolph sang songs ranging from spirituals to boogie woogie. According to the book The Forgotten Network (2004), DuMont began offering 4.5 hours of morning and afternoon programming to affiliates in January 1949, but it is not clear which program these included. The program and several other WABD daytime shows seem to appear in Pittsburgh television schedules (on station WDTV) during 1949, so the program may have been shown on a network level.
According to the April 30, 1949, edition of newspaper Pittsburgh Courier, the program also featured guest appearances, the first of which was Etta Moten.
Reception
The program aired as part of the DuMont experiment in daytime television. While not the first with daytime programming, DuMont's WABD was the first station to offer a schedule that started in the morning and ended after the evening programs; prior to this, daytime programming was occasional with schedules heavy on test patterns.
Billboard magazine gave a very mixed review of the line-up, but Amanda was one of several program on the schedule they liked, with the magazine saying that the songs were "well-sung" and that "the gal is by far the most entertaining part of the early stretch".
Preservation status
As with most DuMont programs, no episodes are known to exist. Kinescopes of daytime television of the 1940s are exceptionally rare, as are kinescopes of local programming (since kinescopes were intended for time-delay purposes, all U.S. stations saw little need to record local programming, and this would remain the case for years).
Although DuMont's main stations very occasionally made kinescopes of their local programming (there are more surviving WABD local kinescopes from the late-1940s/1950s than there are for many other stations of the period), most of the local programming is lost. DuMont's archives are alleged to have been dumped into the New York City waterway system and have never been recovered.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bubblegum%20Crisis%20%28role-playing%20game%29 | Bubblegum Crisis is a near-future cyberpunk role-playing game published by R. Talsorian Games in 1996 that is based on the anime television series Bubblegum Crisis.
Publication history
R. Talsorian Games (RTG) had originally been founded by Mike Pondsmith in 1986 to publish the anime role-playing game Mekton. RTG then went on to other non-anime products such as Cyberpunk 2020. It was not until ten years later, in 1996, that RTG re-entered the anime-related role-playing game market with Bubblegum Crisis, which would be the first RPG produced among several anime properties licensed by the company. In his 2011 book Designers & Dragons, author Shannon Applecline noted that this was the first game to use the company's new Fuzion rule system, and said the game "marked a new push into anime for the company, bringing it back to its roots".
Description
Bubblegum Crisis is a 188-page softcover book designed by Benjamin Wright, David Ackerman-Gray, Ray Greer, George MacDonald, Steve Peterson, and Mike Pondsmith. In the game, set in Japan in 2033, players take on the roles of "Knight Sabers" who oppose the evil megacorporation Genom and its deadly Boomer robots.
The book is divided into three sections:
An introduction to role-playing and the Fuzion rule system
A 2033 sourcebook, explaining how the world arrived at its present situation, as well as chapters on Knight Sabers, Genom, Boomers and technology
Advice to referees on how to create plots and campaigns, with several short adventures given as examples.
Gameplay
Character creation
A player can create a character's personality and worldview using random die rolls, or simply select them. The player then distributes a limited number of stat points amongst the abilities of Strength, Intelligence, Reflexes, and Willpower. A set of secondary characteristics — Luck, Resistance, and Endurance — are derived from the primary abilities. The player finishes the character by spending a limited number of campaign points on Skills, Talents & Perks, and equipment. A character can gain more Campaign Points by choosing one or more Complications.
Action resolution
To determine the success of a given action, the gamemaster assigns a Difficulty Level to the task which then defines a Target Number. The player rolls three 6-sided dice, and adds the character's relevant ability and skill rating. If the total equals or surpasses the Target Number, the action succeeds.
Reception
In the Christmas 1996 edition of Arcane (Issue 14), Andy Butcher commented on the "stunning visuals and its amazing designs of technology." However, he pointed out that role-playing is not, by its nature, a visual medium, and "it's going to be hard to replace this vital element." Butcher concluded by giving the book an average rating of 7 out of 10, saying, "For fans of Bubblegum Crisis, this is probably a dream come true, and you'll almost certainly love it. Those with less experience in Japanese anime may find it all a bit overwhelming and |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rune%20%28role-playing%20game%29 | Rune is a role-playing game published by Atlas Games in 2001.
Description
Atlas Games contracted Robin Laws to write the Rune role-playing game, based on the computer game Rune. Laws determined that for Rune, "the game would need to have a big point of difference to distinguish it from the many other fantasy games available"; in this case, the game would allow players to swap roles with the Game Master (GM): "You can win! And when you're not the GM, it's not boring because the GM can win!"
Publication history
Rune was published by Atlas Games in 2001.

Plot
Confi tells a story of Toto's rescuing of his egg friends, Willy, Bibi, and Confi himself, and Tocino the bacon, before he hatched into a chicken and then grew to be a rooster. Later that night, Toto spends time with Di, trying to confess his love when her father, Don Poncho, interrupts them. Soon after, Toto listens to a boxing-style rooster fighting match on the radio, with champion Bankivoide claiming victory.
The next morning, Toto is called to crow and wake up the entire "Granjas el Pollon" farm, but only shows his poor skills. The group find out that their home is at risk of being taken by the bank due to a lack of payments left by Abuelita's deceased husband. Don Poncho, revealing his past fighting career, prompts the entire crew to go to a village, named Tepizcoeloyo, to make a bet on their farm and that he fight against Bankivoide. Meanwhile, a duo of opossums, Tlacua and Cuache, have been constantly passed by motorcycles while seeing chickens, and trying to take them for food.
The El Padrino egg initially denies due to Poncho having lost his bet. As Toto and Di explore the Palenque arena, he gets attracted to Chiquis, a celebrity peacock, and tries to show off his boxing skills. This soon backfires as she is revealed to be Bankivoide's girlfriend. After some persuading, El Padrino finally accepts the betting offer under a set of conditions, one being that Toto must fight instead of Don Poncho, to which he refuses at first. Ultimately, however, Toto summons the courage and decides to fight against Bankivoide, fully agreeing with the conditions. Later, Bankivoide's owner, Matías "El Oscuro" Jiménez, receives a bet for "Granjas el Pollon" to his surprise, which he accepts.
The crew go on a trip to a forest where Don Poncho tells a story of his last boxing match: he fought and lost to a fast-moving rooster, revealed to be a duck in disgu |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uinta%20Basin%20Rail | The Uinta Basin Rail project is a proposed rail line to connect the shale oil rich Uinta Basin region of eastern Utah to the national rail network. Numerous proposals have been made, some as far back as 1902, that are still under consideration. The current effort is a public-private partnership between a coalition of 7 counties in Utah, the Rio Grande Pacific Corporation and Drexel Hamilton Infrastructure Partners. The railroad is also backed by the Ute Tribe who hold a 5% stake in the project. If the rail line is built it will be the first major greenfield rail line built in the United States since the line to the Powder River Basin was built in the 1970s. The Surface Transportation Board approved construction of the line in December 2021, but in August 2023, a Federal Appeals Court halted the project pending "a more fulsome explanation for the Board’s conclusion that the Railway’s transportation benefits outweighed the project’s environmental impacts".
Past efforts
The Uinta basin's oil and mineral resources have long attracted the attention of railroad builders. The Denver and Salt Lake Railway (D&SL) was a company started in 1902 with a goal of connecting its namesake cities via the Uinta basin, to take advantage of these resources. While a significant portion of the line in Colorado was built, and still exists today, the company struggled financially and never progressed any closer than Craig, Colorado to the Uinta basin. After this effort failed, almost immediately other efforts began.
The only rail line connecting the basin to the rail network that was actually built was the Uintah Railway. However, while the line served the basin for a few years, this line was problematic from day one. The Uintah Railway had a break of gauge, as this branch line was narrow gauge but connected to a standard gauge main at Mack, Colorado. The line featured a 7.5% grade with 65-degree curves, and was so steep that only articulated Shay locomotives, specifically designed for this route, were capable of navigating a portion of the line. This resulted in a single cargo train having to be both re-gauged, and multiple locomotive changeovers to reach its destination. All but the last few miles of the line were in Colorado, and the line was more useful to ship goods to Colorado rather than other cities in Utah. The book Utah Ghost Rails documents that through a bureaucratic loophole, the USPS charged in-state rates for shipping between the basin and Salt Lake City, assuming a straight line distance to calculate the rate, despite them using the Uintah Railway, and having to route the mail to Colorado first and then back into Utah. This meant it was significantly cheaper to ship by mail than pay the railroad directly. A number of businesses soon discovered this loophole, and when the builders of a bank in the town of Vernal learned this, they shipped 30 tons of bricks, one at a time, by mail. This nearly bankrupted the Utah division of the postal service, forcing t |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LuneOS | LuneOS is a mobile operating system (OS) based on the Linux kernel and currently developed by WebOS Ports community. With a user interface based on direct manipulation, LuneOS is designed primarily for touchscreen mobile devices such as smartphones and tablet computers. The OS uses touch inputs that loosely correspond to real-world actions, like swiping, tapping, pinching, and reverse pinching to manipulate on-screen objects, and a virtual keyboard.
LuneOS is the open source successor for Palm/HP webOS where the user interface is rebuilt from scratch by using the latest technologies available (Qt 5.15.0 / QML, Qt WebEngine, etc). It is not intended to compete with iPhone or Android on features. All devices can have a LuneOS port if they have a CyanogenMod / LineageOS ROM available that works. LuneOS uses the minimal Android System Image that is created using Halium which in turn is based upon CyanogenMod / LineageOS.
Currently, the system is still in alpha, with some internal hardware not supported and some applications still buggy. It can be updated without a reinstall. It has the feel of the webOS formerly used on Palm and HP hardware, including a cards-based multitasking system and Universal Search. It has been described as "a niche mobile operating system maintained by enthusiasts".

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Klee%20diagram | Klee diagrams, named for their resemblance to paintings by Paul Klee, are false-colour maps that represent a way of assembling and viewing large genomic datasets. Contemporary research has produced genomic databases for an enormous range of life forms, inviting insights into the genetic basis of biodiversity.
Indicator vectors are used to depict nucleotide sequences. This technique produces correlation matrices or Klee diagrams. Researchers Lawrence Sirovich, Mark Y. Stoeckle and Yu Zhang (2010) used their improved algorithm on a set of some 17000 DNA barcode sequences from 12 disparate animal taxa, finding that indicator vectors were a viable taxonomic tool, and that discontinuities corresponded with taxonomic divisions.

Video games
Space Force: Rogue Universe (2007)
Space Force: Rogue Universe was received with predominantly mixed reviews, giving it an average score of 62/100 on Metacritic. PC Format gave it 86% - a pleasant surprise but IGN gave it a mediocre rating of 51/100, abysmal storyline, excessive difficulty that prevent it from being a better game. Other publications have offered mixed reasoning, except GameSpot which gave it a 75/100 primarily because Spaceforce offers up a beautiful, dynamic universe to explore, though it suffers from a steep learning curve.
Legends of Dawn (2013)
Shortly after release on the 27th of June 2013, Legends of Dawn was panned by critics and gamers with the score of 29/100 on Metacritic. It was included in IGN's round-up of worst reviewed games of 2013, with the description: "Legends Of Dawn isn’t just bad, it’s an embarrassment to its developers and @steam_games for selling it." CD-Action gave it 10/100 stating: "An apology is in order to everyone who fell for the promises on Kickstarter and paid for this ruin of a game." LEVEL commented in their review: "A crappy system, technologically speaking it's an unfinished, irritating, and every now and then arrogant action RPG, with flaws as merits, demonstrating how to not make a game.", giving it 20/100.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%2BTVI | Mais TVI (stylized as +TVI) was a Portuguese digital cable and satellite television channel owned by TVI. The channel provided entertainment programming including TVI originals and international talk-shows.
The channel appeared after an agreement between TVI and NOS, formerly named ZON, on August 1, 2012. In Portugal it has an exclusivity contract with NOS television services, in a similar manner to its sister channel TVI Ficção with MEO. Both channels carry distinct programming.
The channel ended its broadcast on December 1, 2015, with a NOS test card (featuring sound from the Brazilian TV show Pânico na Band, that was broadcasting due to automated continuity).
History
Partnership between TVI and NOS
On August 1, 2012, +TVI and NOS (formerly ZON) signed a partnership to launch +TVI. It was signed by Rodrigo Costa, ZON's president and Media Capital's CEO Rosa Cullell. It was revealed that the channel would have a post-summer launch and that it would be broadcast in high definition, none of which happened at the time.
The channel was closed on December 1, 2015, due to the launch of another NOS exclusive TVI channel, TVI Reality, according to Media Capital's communications director Helena Forjaz.
The channel kept its exclusivity to its last day.
