MATE (software)

MATE (/ˈmɑːteɪ/; Spanish pronunciation: [ˈmate]) is a desktop environment forked from the now-unmaintained code base of GNOME 2. It is named after the South American plant yerba mate and tea made from the herb, mate. The use of a new name, instead of GNOME, avoids conflicts with GNOME 3 components.

History

GNOME 3 (released in April 2011) replaced the classic desktop metaphor, substituting its native user interface: GNOME Shell. This action led to some criticism from parts of the free software community. Some users refused to accept the new interface design of GNOME and called for continued development of GNOME 2. An Argentine user of Arch Linux started the MATE project in order to meet this demand and announced the availability of Mate on 18 June 2011.

Software components

MATE has forked a number of applications originating as the GNOME Core Applications, and developers have written several other applications from scratch. The forked applications have new names - mostly in Spanish:

Marco (comics)

Marco is a fictional character in the DC Comics universe. He is a martial artist created by writer Dennis O'Neil and artist Denys Cowan as a supporting character to The Question, and he first appeared in The Question Quarterly #2 (1991). Marco's name is a pun, a reference to the question mark.

Fictional character biography

Born in Brazil, Marco learned English from his father, an American who had fled to Brazil after killing somebody in New York. Marco was abandoned by his father (who was apparently murdered soon after) at age eight. The best martial artist in Brazil and a master of Capoeira, Marco defeated every fighter he could locate in his homeland. Marco went searching for better fighters, only to be soundly defeated by Lady Shiva. After Shiva complemented him on his skill, Marco asked for a rematch. Shiva told Marco that he would have to earn that by defeating a fighter that was better than him. Shiva then told Marco about Richard Dragon, possibly the best fighter in the world, who had recently retired. When Marco asked if Richard had taught any students, Shiva told him about The Question, Vic Sage, who had learned from Richard. Shiva agreed to fight Marco again if he defeated Sage first.

Bibliography

Rebound (game show)

Rebound is a British game show that has aired on ITV since 17 August 2015 and is presented by Sean Fletcher.

Background

Rebound is one of two summer replacements for The Chase, the other being Freeze Out, both of which were commissioned for 10 episodes. It is fronted by Sean Fletcher, who once described the show as "his dream job" and confessed to putting in sixteen hour days in order to fulfill the commitments of it and Good Morning Britain. It was inspired by the bleep test and first aired on 17 August 2015 on ITV.

Gameplay

Fast Cash

The first round involves the players trying to boost their bank balance. They are each asked three questions, each with four answers. Fletcher takes ten seconds to ask a question, and the contestants have ten seconds to enter their answer during which Fletcher reads the answers. Each question is worth £1,000, and decreases by £100 per second.

Head to Head

In this round, the players play against each other. The person with the most amount of money picks the first opponent - in the event of a tie, whichever player made the most amount of money off the first question picks and in the case that no-one remaining has anything left, whoever was quickest to lock in their incorrect answers picks - and the first category, out of two related options. Each player is handed three lives, and is asked alternating questions; wrong answers or answers not given in time lose lives. The answers will only be registered on the system when the rebound bar is in that contestant's half. When one life is lost, a new category is selected by the winning contestant. This process repeats itself until one player loses all three lives, at which point all their money goes to the winning player. This process repeats itself twice, in total happening three times.
