Dominoes, cousins of playing cards, are one of the world’s oldest tools for game play. They are available in a variety of materials, shapes and sizes, with different markings on each face. The markings, known as pips, originally represented the results of throwing two six-sided dice. A traditional domino set contains one unique piece for each combination of two ends having zero to six spots, giving 28 possible faces in a double-six set.
Domino games are played all over the world. The western dominoes we know today were first recorded in the late 18th century and probably arrived from Italy or France (perhaps via French prisoners). The game is usually called “Positional” because each player positions a tile edge-to-edge against another so that its adjacent ends show a number (normally useful to him/her or distasteful to his/her opponents).
Most people think of the word domino as a game of chance, but there is much more to it than just luck. For example, the ability to predict how a chain will turn out based on the order of the tiles is an essential skill in domino. The game also has the power to create a sense of anticipation in the players. This is partly because of how quickly the dominoes fall, but the anticipation can also be created by how fast the chain of events is triggered.
Leadership and Management
Domino’s Pizza CEO, Don Meij, has shown he is an innovative leader by being one of the first major food companies to allow customers to order their pizza by texting, using Amazon Alexa or other electronic devices. This new technology allows the company to keep up with their competition, increase profits and provide the best customer service. He has also focused on improving internal operations at the company by implementing an employee training program and speaking directly to employees.
Leadership is an important aspect of the success of any business. In this case, it’s important for a CEO to be able to recognize the areas where improvements can be made and be willing to take a risk and try something new. It is also important for a CEO to have an understanding of the needs of his/her employees. This is why it is important to get to know your team so you can understand what they need from the business and how you can help them achieve their goals.
Thinking of a novel’s plot as a domino effect can help writers plan their story better. Whether you are a pantser who writes off the cuff, or a plotter who uses Scrivener or a similar program to plot out your scenes, knowing how to use this concept can help you to write more compelling stories. Putting your main characters into situations where they can react in a way that will drive the story forward in a logical manner is the key to an exciting tale. Ultimately, what makes the most captivating story is how the dominoes are knocked over by each scene.
