Most Valuable Player

In sports, a Most Valuable Player (MVP) award is an honor typically bestowed upon the best-performing player (or players) in an entire league, for a particular competition, or on a specific team. Initially used in professional sports, the term is now also commonly used in amateur sports, as well as in other completely unrelated fields such as business and music. In many sports, MVP awards are presented for a specific match—in other words, a man of the match award.

The term is most common in the United States and Canada. In other cases, "Player of the Year" is used. In Australia, Australian rules football clubs and leagues use the term "Best and Fairest", while those playing rugby league use "Player of the Year", such as the Dally M Medal. The National Basketball League, however, uses the American-style "MVP" for its awards. Insofar as there is a distinction between an MVP and a Player of the Year, a "player of the year" describes the greatest individual talent, while a "most valuable player" is a person most responsible for their team's success.

Tempo (bridge)

In the card game of bridge, tempo refers to the timing advantage of being on lead, thus being first to initiate one's play strategy to develop tricks for one's side. Tempo also refers to the speed of play and more generally refers to the rhythm of play over several tricks.

According to the rules of the game, the right to select the first card to play (the opening lead) belongs to the defenders; afterwards, the right to lead belongs to the hand who has won the previous trick. Being on lead generally presents an advantage, as it presents an opportunity to choose a suit and card which will develop a trick for the leader's side. However, in endplay situations being on lead certainly does not present an advantage—quite the opposite.

The tempo can be used for many purposes:

Tempo (Italian magazine)

Tempo (meaning Time in English) was an Italian language illustrated weekly news magazine published in Milan, Italy, between 1939 and 1976 with a temporary interruption during World War II.

History and profile

Tempo was first published on 9 June 1939, being the first full colour illustrated Italian magazine. The founding company was Mondadori. The magazine was modelled on the American magazines Life and Newsweek.

Tempo was edited by Alberto Mondadori, son of Arnoldo Mondadori.Indro Montanelli was the first editor-in-chief of the magazine. From its start in 1939 to September 1943 Bruno Munari served as the art director for the magazine and for another Mondadori title, Grazia. The early contributors for Tempo were Massimo Bontempelli, Curzio Malaparte, Lamberti Sorrentino, and Salvatore Quasimodo. The magazine also included the work by photographers John Philiphs who previously worked for Life, and Federico Patellani.

The headquarters of Tempo was in Milan. Major sections of the magazine included politics, news, literature and art. Although it was modeled on Life, unlike it Tempo covered much more political topics. By 1942 Tempo had editions published in eight different languages, including Albanian, Croatian, French, Greek, Rumanian, Spanish, German and Hungarian.
