Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for altering or otherwise obscuring a progress bar to prevent spoilers in a media asset. A media asset is generated for display and an input is detected from a user during playback of the media asset. A determination is made whether the input comprises a command to display a progress bar. In the affirmative, a determination regarding a current point of playback of the media asset and the type of segment is made. An entry is retrieved from a database that maps the type of segment to a range of time. A determination is made whether the remaining time of the media asset is within the range of time. In the affirmative, a determination whether displaying the progress bar would spoil the media asset is made. In response to determining that displaying the progress bar would spoil the media asset, the progress bar is refrained from generating display.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates generally to disruption of genomic complexes associated with fusion genes via a disrupting agent comprising a targeting moiety and/or an effector, e.g., disrupting, moiety. Described herein are experiments directed at identifying target anchor sequences proximal to fusion genes, e.g., fusion oncogenes; targeting the genomic complexes, e.g., CFLs, comprising said target anchor sequences for disruption (e.g., inhibiting their formation and/or destabilizing them) using disrupting agents; and evaluating the effects of disruption on fusion gene expression and other cell (e.g., cancer cell) characteristics (e.g., growth, viability, etc.).

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed herein for providing media clips that depict referee's decisions that are similar to a decision made in a sporting event being currently consumed by the user. A media guidance application may be configured to perform the actions described herein. Specifically, the media guidance application may determine, that an officiator of the sporting event stopped play for a specific situation. In response, the media guidance application may extract metadata that corresponds to the specific situation and compare the metadata that corresponds to the specific situation with metadata for similar situations that occurred in other similar sporting events. The media guidance application may identify a similar situation or event that occurred in another similar sporting event (e.g., the same sport) and generate for display video of the similar situation.

Abstract: A media guidance application may provide similar media content based on user utterances responsive to ambiguous determinations at sporting events. The media guidance application may detect a user utterance and may identify a situation within the sporting event that the user was referring to. The media guidance application may compare metadata of the identified situation/segment with metadata of a plurality of historical ambiguous events, and determine, based on the comparing, a historical ambiguous event that corresponds to the segment/situation. The media guidance application may generate for display video including the historical ambiguous event that corresponds to the segment.

Abstract: Methods and systems for aggregating digital content captured at an event. In one aspect, a connection is established from a computing device to a Near Field Communication (NFC) enabled event check-in point located at the event. The NFC enabled event check-in point is encoded with event identification information for the event. The event identification information includes an event Uniform Resource Locator (URL) for a webpage associated with a computing system. The computing device receives event identification information including the event URL from the NFC enabled event check-in point, and transmits digital images captured at the event to a computing system.

Abstract: A media sharing system stores share settings that identify one or more users with whom a sharing user wishes to share media segments created in the future. As a media item is being presented to the sharing user via a user device, the sharing user may request to share a segment of the media item. The media sharing system creates a segment of the media item. The media sharing system determines to share the segment with the identified users based on the stored share settings. The media sharing system shares the created segment with the identified users.

Abstract: A method, computer program product, and system is described. A score difference associated with an episode of a game is determined, wherein the score difference represents a difference between an actual score of a target player in the game episode and an actual score of a reference player in the game episode. A first adjusted score indicator associated with the game episode is determined, wherein the adjusted score indicator represents a sum of the score difference associated with the game episode and an estimated skill level of the reference player. An estimated skill level of the target player is determined, wherein the estimated skill level of the target player is based upon, at least in part, a weighted average of the first adjusted score indicator and one or more other adjusted score indicators.

Abstract: A smoking article includes a tobacco column, a binder surrounding the tobacco column, a first wrapper surrounding the binder, and at least one additional removable wrapper which surrounds the first wrapper and is removably secured to a wrapper beneath the additional removable wrapper. Packaging for a smoking article involves a supportive tube surrounding the smoking article and sealed in a package, where the package is made from a front and a rear sheet sealed together to form a sealed envelope.
