Pop the Q was a British interactive gameshow which became the first live format to be commissioned by MTV for their TMF network. It began life in the summer of 2005 running for two hours on Sunday afternoons.
The initial show was presented by Caroline Flack and Yemi Sawyerr and was a blend of music videos and interactive video games that could be played by viewers to win prizes such as VIP gig tickets. Games included Pop Cannon - viewers had to guess the power needed to fire Robbie Williams out of a cannon into a bucket. Pop Trash - callers must work out which garbage bin Christina Aguilera was hiding in. It was similar in style to MTV Select but with caler competitions instead of caller song requests.
In subsequent series the show developed into more of a quiz caller format which had slots from 12 midnight until 3:00am (1:00am to 4:00am on Thursday nights). Lasting a whole three hours, each show was hosted by a single presenter; unusual for its genre. The main style of game for this show was a tower (stack) game, with ten potential answers relating to a themed clue. Game entry was by players either dialling the number on screen or via a random callback via the free web entry route. Viewers were also invited to e-mail the presenter in the studio, selected messages being read out on air.
Pop the Q ended on 1 June 2007 with Yemi Saywerr presenting the final show.
Currently, similar programs air worldwide.

The ERA Prometheus is a line of tourbillon watches made by ERA Timepieces and one of the world’s first affordable tourbillon watch models. As of Feb 2019, it is also the most crowdfunded tourbillon watch in history and the most funded watch campaign out of the fashion capital - New York City. The principle reason for the tourbillon’s ultra high price points is due to the extreme difficulty and skill in manufacturing it. Keith Strindberg of the Europa Star writes that the tourbillon "has long been considered watchmaking’s highest accomplishment” because "the creation and assembly of a fine tourbillon is extremely difficult and only the best manufactures can produce this complication.”
Against the backdrop of these current market sentiments, the ERA Prometheus was launched on September 2018 on the crowd funding platform known as Kickstarter. Priced at an atypical $999, the ERA Prometheus quickly became the most crowdfunded tourbillon on Kickstarter when it raised $766,968 USD. It then went on to raise $1,100,000 USD on Indiegogo, another popular crowdfunding platform, to become the most crowdfunded tourbillon watch in history and the most funded watch campaign out of the fashion capital - New York City. The ERA Prometheus continued its crowdfunding globally when it raised ¥10,000,000 yen on GreenFunding, one of Japan's largest crowdfunding platforms.
Criticisms
Although the ERA Prometheus is significantly lower than the price of typical tourbillon watches, there are questions on its universal affordability claims. Despite significant progress in manufacturing and it being written about as "affordable", a $999 watch is still unobtainable and unreasonable to some consumers.

Alberto Nassetti (18 July 1966 in Bologna - 30 June 1994 in Toulouse) was an Italian aviator, who was killed in a crash while flying as a passenger on Airbus Industrie Flight 129.
Career
After graduating from the Francesco De Pinedo technical and aeronautical institute of Rome, Nassetti was hired by the Italian airline Alitalia, where he flew the McDonnell Douglas DC-9 and the McDonnell Douglas MD-80 on medium haul routes. In 1992, he was diagnosed with a brain tumor, had an operation to remove it, and became the first pilot to re-enter service after a surgical operation to the brain.
Death
In June 1994, Nassetti was chosen by the ANPAC to go to the Airbus plant in Toulouse, France, to observe tests of the Airbus A330, an aircraft that Alitalia was considering buying. On the day of the accident, the aircraft (F-WWKH) was simulating a full-aft center of gravity configuration and an engine loss during takeoff. The aircraft lifted off, but crashed into the ground approximately 36 seconds later. All aboard, the flight crew of three plus four passengers, were killed, including Nassetti and another Alitalia pilot, Pier Paolo Racchetti (IT).
Memorial
After Nassetti's death, Alitalia decided not to buy the A330 but the Boeing 767 instead. When Alitalia received the aircraft, the airline dedicated an aircraft to Nassetti and Racchetti, with registration I-DEIC and I-DEIB respectively. In 2007, the two Boeing 767s were returned to the lessor. Alitalia combines the names of two pilots in two Boeing 777s: I-DISU - Alberto Nassetti and I-DISE - Pier Paolo Racchetti.
Also, ENAC, the Italian authority for civil aviation, dedicated a road for each pilot in .
