TVLine
''TVLine'' is a website devoted to information, news, and spoilers of television programs. History In late 2010, ''Entertainment Weekly''s Michael Ausiello announced that he would be leaving ''EW'' after nearly two years in their employ to establish a TV-centered website with PMC, the media company founded by Jay Penske. He later announced that fellow ''EW'' writer Michael Slezak, E! Online's Megan Masters, and ''TV Guide''s Matt Mitovich would be joining him in the venture. The site debuted January 5, 2011, and more than tripled initial expectations for internet traffic in its first six days. In early 2011 a report by TV by the Numbers analyzed the pageview ratings for four television websites: ''TVLine'', its sister site ''Deadline'', ''TheWrap'', and TV by the Numbers itself. With a high of just over 1 million daily pageviews, ''TVLine'' beat all three competitors. A similar report in summer 2012 compared ''TVLine'' again to three other websites: ''Deadline'', ''The Holly ...

Energy
In physics, energy (from Ancient Greek: ἐνέργεια, ''enérgeia'', “activity”) is the quantitative property that is transferred to a body or to a physical system, recognizable in the performance of work and in the form of heat and light. Energy is a conserved quantity—the law of conservation of energy states that energy can be converted in form, but not created or destroyed. The unit of measurement for energy in the International System of Units (SI) is the joule (J). Common forms of energy include the kinetic energy of a moving object, the potential energy stored by an object (for instance due to its position in a field), the elastic energy stored in a solid object, chemical energy associated with chemical reactions, the radiant energy carried by electromagnetic radiation, and the internal energy contained within a thermodynamic system. All living organisms constantly take in and release energy. Due to mass–energy equivalence, any object that has mass whe ...
