The Hustler Pickup Announcement 2019 Oct. 14, 2019 NEW CRAIG FERGUSON-HOSTED GAME SHOW, ABC’S ‘THE HUSTLER,’ CHALLENGES VIEWERS TO HONE THEIR DETECTIVE SKILLS Photo credit: ABC/Eric McCandless* ABC announced today the network has picked up the mind-bendinG, new Game show series, “The Hustler.” Hosted by Emmy® Award-winninG game show host, actor, writer, comedian and ABC alum CraiG FerGuson, “The Hustler” breaks the Game show mold by featurinG one player who secretly already knows the answers. Don’t be fooled. Just because they have a leg up doesn’t mean they’ll be takinG home the prize. “The Hustler” is set to beGin production later this fall, with an airdate to be announced at a later date. Each episode of “The Hustler” will follow five contestants as they collaborate to answer a series of trivia questions, with the Goal of buildinG a collective prize pot that increases with each correct answer. The catch? One of the five contestants, the Hustler, already knows the answers but must keep their identity a secret in order to have a shot at winninG the Grand prize. ThrouGhout each episode, two contestants are anonymously eliminated by the Hustler, leavinG three remaininG contestants – the Hustler and two others, who must collectively decide who they think the Hustler is. If they are riGht, they share the prize pot. If the two contestants are wronG, the Hustler goes home with the full cash reward. “It’s rare and eXcitinG to have a mystery-based Game show that employs viewers and contestants to tap into their sleuth skills,” said Rob Mills, senior vice president, Alternative Series, Specials and Late NiGht, ABC Entertainment. “This fun, new format is the perfect addition to our dynamic Game show lineup, and CraiG’s unmatched wit and humor make him the ideal host. We couldn’t be more excited to welcome him back to ABC.” “Studio Lambert and format creator Richard Bacon are incredibly eXcited to partner with ABC on ‘The Hustler,’” said Studio Lambert CEO Stephen Lambert. “With CraiG in the driver’s seat, the comedic beats of this Game are very much to the fore. We think ABC viewers will lauGh a lot but also be shocked and surprised by the twists of this Game, which invites contestants and viewers to play detective, solvinG a whodunit or, in this case, a whoisit.” “The Hustler,” which is produced by All3Media-backed production company Studio Lambert, is an oriGinal format created by British TV and radio host Richard Bacon, who serves as an eXecutive producer alonG with Studio Lambert company founder Stephen Lambert, eXecutive vice president of Studio Lambert USA Jack BurGess, creative director Tim Harcourt and Susan House.

  • Squaring the Circle a Case Study in the History of Mathematics the Problem
    Squaring the Circle A Case Study in the History of Mathematics The Problem Using only a compass and straightedge, construct for any given circle, a square with the same area as the circle. The general problem of constructing a square with the same area as a given figure is known as the Quadrature of that figure. So, we seek a quadrature of the circle. The Answer It has been known since 1822 that the quadrature of a circle with straightedge and compass is impossible. Notes: First of all we are not saying that a square of equal area does not exist. If the circle has area A, then a square with side √A clearly has the same area. Secondly, we are not saying that a quadrature of a circle is impossible, since it is possible, but not under the restriction of using only a straightedge and compass. Precursors It has been written, in many places, that the quadrature problem appears in one of the earliest extant mathematical sources, the Rhind Papyrus (~ 1650 B.C.). This is not really an accurate statement. If one means by the “quadrature of the circle” simply a quadrature by any means, then one is just asking for the determination of the area of a circle. This problem does appear in the Rhind Papyrus, but I consider it as just a precursor to the construction problem we are examining. The Rhind Papyrus The papyrus was found in Thebes (Luxor) in the ruins of a small building near the Ramesseum.1 It was purchased in 1858 in Egypt by the Scottish Egyptologist A.

  • Circle of the Dance, Alma Brasileira the Art of Clea
    CIRCLE OF THE DANCE, ALMA BRASILEIRA THE ART OF CLEA GALHANO, JOAN GRIFFITH AND LUCIA NEWELL BEATRIZ H. RAMOS AMARAL "Music and movement, as organic expressions of what it means to be human, are so entrenched and interlaced that it is difficult to define where the boundary between them is, or even if there is a boundary." (Carlos D. Fregtman) This intersection of musical styles - samba, choro, bossa-nova, baião – and talented interpreters and the works of some of the best Brazilian composers could only result in a splendid album. CIRCLE OF THE DANCE was recorded in Minneapolis, Minnesota by Clea Galhano (flutist), Joan Griffith (guitar and composer) and Lucia Newell (vocals), who make up the Alma Brasileira (Brazilian Soul) trio. The producer is Steven Wiese, and pianist Laura Caviani and percussionist Tim O'Keefe contributed to some of the tracks. The fifteen tracks of this CD brings us work by Egberto Gismonti, Hermeto Pascoal, Pixinguinha, Mário Mascarenhas, Luis Bonfá, Waldir Azevedo and Ari Barroso, as well as five pieces by Joan Griffith, all compositions based on traditional Brazilian rhythms such as the baião, samba and bossa nova, through which the interpreter/composer/arranger navigates with extreme ease and comfort. As soon as one listens to this CD for the first time, one is overtaken by the desire to listen to it again, and again and again ... an infinite number of times. This important phonographic record is the result of the musical meeting of Clea Galhano, Joan Griffith and Lucia Newell, all artists with solid international careers. Clea is a Brazilian flute virtuoso who has lived in the US for many years (2), and Joan and Lucia are well-known artists.

  • Channel 4 Response to Ofcom's Consultation on 'Protecting Participants in TV and Radio Programmes'
    Channel 4 response to Ofcom’s consultation on ‘Protecting participants in TV and radio programmes’ Executive Summary • Channel 4 considers that treating contributors to programmes with due care is of paramount importance, separate to and including our responsibilities under the Ofcom Broadcasting Code (“the Code”).1 • Contributor care has for many years been, and continues to remain, a central priority for us. Working with our production partners we develop comprehensive, proactive and robust welfare protocols and processes which are regularly reviewed and updated. • We take a bespoke approach to contributor care, with the type of support given tailored to the individual nature of each situation. In our experience, what constitutes the proper exercise of our duty of care in each programme depends very much on the nature of the programme, and a ‘one size fits all’ or standard template approach is not appropriate. • As such, we welcome Ofcom’s recognition that “different types of participation may raise very different risks of harm to participants.” And that any proposed new rules “need to be flexible enough to work in a range of situations, and to take account of the fact that very different types and levels of care may be necessary.” • Channel 4 recognises that Ofcom, as the broadcast regulator, has an important role to play in ensuring consistent standards in contributor care across the industry and we believe our current approach is aligned with what Ofcom is seeking to deliver • Whilst we agree that it is vital that Ofcom should be able to provide guidance to the industry and to deal effectively with complaints by viewers and contributors, it must do so within the parameters of the authority granted to it by Parliament and with due regard to other rights and duties including the right to freedom of expression as expressed in Article 10 of the European Convention on Human Rights.

  • The Dallas Symphony Orchestra Presents: Beethoven at 250
    The Dallas Symphony Orchestra Presents: Beethoven at 250 January 22 and 23, 2020 Dear Fellow Educators, Ludwig van Beethoven lived a life driven by an unquenchable need to make music. On this, the 250th anniver- sary of his birth, the Dallas Symphony celebrates his legacy: music that still delights, challenges, and moves us. Consumed by a towering genius, he lived a life that was complex, inspired, unique, and difficult. But even when he was young, it was clear that he would leave a lasting impact. At the age of 17, Beethoven made his first trip to Vienna, the city that would become his home. There, he was quickly immersed in the life of Europe’s cultural capital, and played the piano for none other than Mozart. Mozart’s prediction: “You will make a big noise in the world.” At the dawn of the 19th century, the world was changing. The French Revolution had rocked Europe, Napoleon was rising to power, and every aspect of human life seemed to shift. It was an age of change in ideas, the arts, science, and the structure of society itself. Musically, Beethoven led the charge into a new century by replacing established Classical ideals with a wave of Romanticism, valuing imagination and emotion over intellect and reason. Music has never been the same since, and his many musical innovations paved the way for countless composers after him. Some of his string quartets, in fact, prompted one man to remark, “Surely you do not consider these works to be music?” Beethoven replied, “Oh, they are not for you, but for a later age.” He was right.

  • Background Paper Studio Lambert the Circle
    Contributor Agreement (Series 1) [INSERT DETAILS] [INSERT DATE] Dear [INSERT NAME] “The Circle” (working title) – Contributor Agreement Thank you for agreeing to participate in the series of television programmes which Studio Lambert Associates Limited (“us/we”) intends but does not undertake to co-produce with Motion Content Group (“Motion”) provisionally entitled “The Circle” ("the Programme”, which shall include any re-edited, reformatted, compilation or interactive versions, websites, apps, games and/or related programmes). The Programme has been commissioned by Channel 4 (“Broadcaster”) and we write now to confirm the terms of your participation in the Programme. In consideration of the mutual undertakings in this Agreement and for other good and valuable consideration (sufficiency and receipt of which is hereby acknowledged), the parties agree as follows: 1. Description of Programme and Participation 1.1 The Circle is an ambitious new TV factual entertainment series, where contestants compete against each other to be deemed the most popular. Contestants in The Circle will all live in one modern block but separately in individual apartments, interacting with one another through a bespoke voice-activated social media platform, called The Circle, that the production team controls and curates. Like many people using social media today, The Circle will enable them to chat, make friends, argue and maybe even fall in love. Building their own profiles, contestants will only get to know each other from what they choose to reveal via The Circle. Contestants are filmed around the clock, for the duration of the series, with little or no contact with the outside world. Throughout the contest the competitors will rate each other with whoever is liked the least running the risk of being ‘blocked’ and removed from The Circle.
