After watching the first episode of GSN’s new game show that’s all about numbers and statistics since the network’s Upfront in March, I had mixed feelings about Winsanity. Starting off with the good qualities, Winsanity has an excellent play-along factor that gets the audience truly invested in the game, especially with thousand of dollars in cool and attractive prizes at stake including a grocery shopping spree, outdoor cinema and a new car. Much like Million Second Quiz, The Million Pound Drop and Boom!, the show also does an excellent job of getting the home viewers involved with the live interactive game on the show’s site on GSN, although it is slightly disappointing that there is no mobile app for the play-along feature. Similar to Easiest Game Show Ever, the random, obscure statistical trivia facts presented on the show makes the show easy to follow and fun to watch, works well for a healthy wide range of audiences and makes the game challenging in attempting rank them in order. You can feel the vivacity and energy exuding from the audience members, including the ones who aren’t chosen to potentially win, rooting for whomever the solo contestant is because of the show’s central focus on that one specific factor. …show more content…
As simple as the main game is, it seems like it’s too short and they could have done more with the format like having the audience answer a toss-up question with a numerical answer at the top of the show to determine who would play first. The audience sections could have been more creatively designed by separating them by color, as previously seen on Tattletales and Nickelodeon’s You’re On. As host, Donald Faison does good work of injecting as much excitement as possible into each episode. However, there is a noticeable lack of comedic chemistry between he and announcer, Kira Soltanovich – at least on the one episode I’ve seen thus
“Winning is great, sure, but if you are really going to do something in life, the secret is learning how to lose… If you can pick up after a crushing defeat, and go on to win again, you are going to be a champion someday”(“Wilma Rudolph”). Wilma Rudolph was an Olympic athlete in the 1960 and 1966 Olympics. Wilma Rudolph in 1944 at age four was diagnosed with Polio.Wilma Rudolph survived polio for eight long, hard years before overcoming it in 1952. And later in life became a great runner and an amazing inspiration to many.
In May of 1929 President Herbert Hoover appointed the Wickersham Commission with former U.S. Attorney General George W. Wickersham. The Wickersham Commission is officially called the National Commission on Law Observance and Enforcement. The commission was in response to the public’s concern about crime and also was a way to resolve the debate of continuing prohibiting. Wickersham at the time was an attorney and a former cabinet member, as its chairmen. The Commission was the first review in the United States of federal review and law enforcement. It consisted of judges, educators, lawyers, that represented all sections of the country. The commission was made up of eleven subcommittees, and it published the 14 reports in 1931. These reports covered the importance of probation and parole, police procedures, and the cause of crime. The members that represented these committees were leading experts in
Our conclusion is that while a rise in each stat had some affect in the rise or fall of winning percentage, we could not determine a single stat that had a direct affect on the dependent variable (Winning Percentage). Our results were more effective when we ran the test on how the combination of all stats affected winning percentage, however, this would be obvious given the nature of our study.
Ana-Mauríne Lara’s Erzulie’s Skirt positions the female body as the scene where lives are interconnected across history and as a dissertation of the human condition. Her protagonists, Micaela and Miriam, tell a story of love, struggle, and survival that echoes the historical significance of slavery and the Caribbean middle passage across time and space. Divided into several sections based on time and location, one particular period in Lara’s novel connects Micaela and Miriam’s experiences most closely with slavery as a whole. After a voyage across the Mona Strait as an attempt to escape from the conditions in the Dominican Republic, they find themselves captured, trapped in a brothel, and forced into prostitution. Many parallels can be drawn to interpret Lara’s use of the brothel as a metaphor for the slave ships used to travel across the original Middle Passage, including the comparable use of people as commodities, the specific imagery and language Lara uses, the historical narrative presented at the beginning of each section, and the larger themes in which identities were simultaneously stripped by oppression and also preserved within the context of community and spirituality.

Described as “ the jewel in the crown” of New Hampshire’s Lakes Region, Lake Winnipesaukee is the state’s largest standing body of water, nestled in the foothills of the White Mountains east of Laconia, in Belknap and Carroll counties. The lake is roughly 21 miles long and between 1 and 9 miles wide, with a surface area of approximately 72 square miles and a maximum depth of 212 feet. There are 258 islands in Lake Winnipesaukee, with a total shoreline of approximately 288 miles. This glacial, mountain lake was formed 1, 000, 000 million years ago resulting from glacial activities, that also consequently shaped the region’s beautiful landscape.
In this article Winckelmann states that the good taste in art that is present in contemporary works stems from the work of the ancient Greeks. The beauty in the modern works of artists like Raphael (especially his Madonna and child with St Sixtus and St Barbara) hold such beauty, complexity of emotion, and good taste because he draws on the ideas set up by the great ancient sculptures and society in which they lived and drew inspiration from. Winckelmann categorizes the ancients greatness into two main ideas that are necessary for contemporaries to draw from in order to reach greatness: Natural beauty and noble simplicity and quiet grandeur.
What a way to end a premiere week for the long-running CBS daytime game show. Not only were all six pricing games won on Friday’s show, history was made once again in the Showcase Showdown. Today’s second Showcase Showdown was a truly insane and incredible moment you had to see to believe. After Wilbert Powell, Charlotte Sosebee, and Zacharia Whitaker all spun $1.00 on their first spin, Powell and Whitaker managed to tie again with their lucky $1.00 spins on their bonus turns. A total of $80,000 (Sosebee: $10,000; Powell and Whitaker: $35,000) was given away in the Showcase Showdown alone, making it the most money the show has ever given away

So right now I’m watching (listening) to a livestream of five people playing a game called Pinturillo. Basically the game works by giving one person a word and then they have to draw it. While their drawing it the rest of the people try to guess the word. For some reason a bunch of them decided to try and incorporate a snowman into the drawing. The are also talking about random stuff the whole time such as mayo sandwiches, whether arachnids halve fangs or mandibles, and
