Grand Theft Auto V

Grand Theft Auto V is an open world, action-adventure video game developed by Rockstar North and published by Rockstar Games. It was released on 17 September 2013 for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, on 18 November 2014 for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, and on 14 April 2015 for Microsoft Windows. The game is the first main entry in the Grand Theft Auto series since 2008's Grand Theft Auto IV. Set within the fictional state of San Andreas, based on Southern California, the single-player story follows three criminals and their efforts to commit heists while under pressure from a government agency. The open world design lets players freely roam San Andreas's open countryside and fictional city of Los Santos, based on Los Angeles.

The game is played from either a first-person or third-person view and its world is navigated on foot or by vehicle. Players control the three lead protagonists throughout single-player and switch between them both during and outside of missions. The story is centred on the heist sequences, and many missions involve shooting and driving gameplay. A "wanted" system governs the aggression of law enforcement response to players who commit crimes. Grand Theft Auto Online, the online multiplayer mode, lets up to 30 players explore the open world and engage in cooperative or competitive game matches.

Monica's Gang

Monica's Gang (originally titled Turma da Mônica in Portuguese) or Monica & Friends is a popular Brazilian comic book franchise created by Mauricio de Sousa.

The series was originally based on a newspaper comic strip in which the protagonists were Blu (Bidu) and Franklin (Franjinha), launched by the newspaper Folha da Manhã in 1959. Over the years the series has been gaining a large audience, with new characters constantly being added to the lineup. Jimmy Five (Cebolinha) and Monica (Mônica) were eventually given their own comic books, hence the title "Monica's Gang." The characters and comics were eventually adapted into cartoons, video games, movies, theme parks and a wide range of products.

The stories revolve around the adventures of Monica and her many friends in the fictional neighborhood of "Limoeiro" in São Paulo. The neighborhood was inspired by the neighborhood of Cambuí, in Campinas and the city of Mogi das Cruzes, where de Sousa spent his childhood. However, the comic books do not simply revolve around the stories of Monica and her friends. Other characters created by de Sousa include Chuck Billy 'n' Folks, Tina's Pals, Lionel's Kingdom and Bug-a-Booo.

24 Horas (Chilean newscast)

24 Horas (24 hours) is a Chilean newscast, broadcast by Televisión Nacional de Chile since 1990. It started airing after the return to democracy, when it was decided to give a new look to the newscast. The program is the successor to the newscast Noticias, which in turn replaced TV Noticias.

History

Its first edition was broadcast on October 1, 1990, led by Cecilia Serrano and Bernardo de la Maza. Gradually, the editions of the newscast gained ground in the ratings on rival Canal 13, overtaking the latter in the mid-1990s. On October 10, 2001, coinciding with the première of the soap opera Amores de Mercado (Market's Loves), which preceded the news, the Central Edition scored 42.2 rating points between 21:00 and 21:56, a figure that hasn't been matched since.

On March 8, 2004, it changed its image to match the new logo of TVN. There were other major changes that year; the old presenters, Bernardo de la Maza, Cecilia Serrano, were replaced with Amaro Gomez-Pablos and Consuelo Saavedra. This move was criticized.
