Television Malta
Television Malta (; TVM) (formerly known as ''Malta Television Service;'' MTV and ''Xandir Malta'') is a Terrestrial television, terrestrial television network in Malta operated by the Public broadcasting, national broadcaster, Public Broadcasting Services. Alongside TVM, PBS operates TVM+, TVMSport+ and Parliament TV (Malta), Parliament TV. History The Malta Television Service (MTV), was launched on 29 September 1962 as the first television service in the country, with technical backing from Rediffusion UK, although television broadcasts from neighbouring Sicily in far-southern Italy could be received in Malta from as early as 1957. In 1975, Xandir Malta (''Broadcasting Malta''), the precursor to the Public Broadcasting Services was established by parliament. Early days, 1962–1964 Italian radio transmissions, popular since the 1920s, influenced Maltese listeners. To counter this influence, British authorities granted a radio license to Rediffusion, a British broadcast comp ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
TVM (insurance)
TVM (Transport Verzekerings Maatschappij, Transportation Insurance Company) is a Dutch insurance company specialised in providing insurance to transportation companies. It is a mutual company founded in 1962 by a number of transportation companies, and is headquartered in Hoogeveen. TVM is well known as sponsor of a number of sporting teams. For a number of years, TVM sponsored a cycling team, withdrawing their support at the beginning of 2000 after a doping scandal. TVM also sponsors ice skating, and number of famous skaters are sponsored by TVM; Renate Groenewold, Carl Verheijen, Sven Kramer, Paulien van Deutekom, Jan Smeekens, Erben Wennemars and Ireen Wüst. The company has indicated it wishes to continue sponsoring them until at least the 2010 Winter Olympics The 2010 Winter Olympics, officially known as the XXI Olympic Winter Games () and also known as Vancouver 2010 (), were an international winter multi-sport event held from February 12 to 28, 2010 in Vancouver, ...

Track-via-missile
Track-via-missile or TVM refers to a missile guidance technique which combines features of semi-active radar homing (SARH) and radio command guidance. This avoids the problems with terminal accuracy normally seen by command guided missiles, especially at long range. It has been used on a number of long-range surface-to-air missiles (SAMs) including the MIM-104 Patriot. Explanation Command guidance has the advantage of isolating most of the equipment for the missile guidance at the launcher, where size and weight are significantly less important. In these systems, the radar that provides guidance is on the ground or ship and the missile lacks an independent guidance system. Typically two radars are used, one tracking the target and another the missile, so that they can fly independent and widely separated paths. A computer then calculates the position and velocity of the two and calculates an intercept point. The same computer then calculates the control inputs needed to fly the m ...

Time-varying Microscale Model
The time-varying microscale (TVM) model is a microscale diagnostic model specifically designed to compute data for extremely high-resolution mapping (tens of meters to a few hundred meters) without the high computational costs of running a mesoscale numerical weather prediction (NWP) model such as weather research and forecasting model (WRF). TVM uses high-resolution land surface data to calculate the effects of microscale terrain features, near-surface roughness features, and other terrain blocking effects typically left unresolved by coarser mesoscale NWP models. Microscale terrain features are resolved using a kinematic terrain adjustment, near-surface roughness features are resolved using a log-profile surface roughness adjustment, and a Froude number adjustment is applied to calculate terrain-blocking effects on wind flow. All of these effects are computed at each time-step in the study period and based not only on wind speed and elevation, but on quantities such as wind d ...

Ticket Vending Machine
A ticket machine, also known as a ticket vending machine (TVM), is a vending machine that produces paper or electronic tickets, or recharges a stored-value card or smart card or the user's mobile wallet, typically on a smartphone. For instance, ticket machines dispense train tickets at railway stations, transit tickets at metro stations and tram tickets at some tram stops and in some trams. Token machines may dispense the ticket in the form of a token which has the same function as a paper or electronic ticket. The typical transaction consists of a user using the display interface to select the type and quantity of tickets and then choosing a payment method of either cash, credit/debit card or smartcard. The ticket(s) are then printed on paper and dispensed to the user, or loaded onto the user's smartcard or smartphone. Ticket and fare formats For most of the twentieth century, ticket machines issued paper tickets, or tokens worth one fare each. Later, fare value was lo ...

Trans-Val-de-Marne
The Trans-Val-de-Marne, often abbreviated as Tvm, is a bus rapid transit (BRT) line operated by the RATP Group as part of the RATP bus network in the Paris metropolitan area. The line entered service on 1 October 1993, running almost entirely in a Bus lane, dedicated lane. The line facilitates travel from suburb to suburb within the Val-de-Marne department in the Île-de-France region. It replaces the former RATP line 392, which since 1969 has linked Saint-Maur–Créteil station and Rungis. The Tvm connects to , serving thirty-two stations over nearly . It has a special status since although it is a bus line, it is already administratively included by the RATP in the "T mode," alongside Tramways in Île-de-France, the tram lines. It is the busiest bus line in Europe, with 23 million passengers in 2019.

The Vagina Monologues
''The Vagina Monologues'' is an episodic play written in 1996 by Eve Ensler which developed and premiered at HERE Arts Center, Off-Off-Broadway in New York and was followed by an Off-Broadway run at the Westside Theatre.
