Domino is a flat, thumbsized, rectangular block that is usually white or colored and bearing one to six pips or dots (28 such blocks make up a full set). Dominoes are used for playing positional games, in which players place dominoes edge to edge against each other so that the adjacent faces match identically or form some specified total. The game may also involve placing a domino in the center of a line or a square to form some other shape, which can then be used for more elaborate play.
Domino first appeared in the Marvel Comics Universe in 1992. She is an African American woman who has the ability to project bio-electric pulses from her cerebral cortex, augmenting her natural reflexes and agility to near-superhuman levels. Her powers also give her an enhanced sense of probability, allowing her to anticipate the outcomes of actions and events. She uses her abilities to pursue criminals and terrorists.
Despite her prowess in combat, Domino is more of a team player than an individualist. She has a tendency to take others under her wing, mentoring and encouraging them to do their best. She is also very observant, picking up on small details that can have major effects. She is also very shrewd, able to assess situations quickly and come up with plans of her own to deal with them.
In recent years, Domino has been in a slump. A combination of leadership changes and a shift in the company’s focus caused Domino to fall behind the competition. In an attempt to turn the tide, Domino implemented a number of new policies, including a relaxed dress code and leadership training programs. She also began to listen to her customers, making sure that they felt heard and that their concerns were being addressed.
While the move seemed to work for a time, it eventually started to backfire. In 2004, Domino’s was more than $943 million in debt, and its market share was rapidly falling. It was clear that something needed to change.
Domino’s leadership skills were put to the test when she was sent out on an Undercover Boss mission at one of its busiest restaurants. She took notes on the way employees handled their deliveries, and how they responded to the customers. Domino was able to make some changes and get the business back on track in no time.
In addition to forming lines and curved lines, domino builders also create grids that form pictures when they fall, stacked walls, and even 3D structures like towers and pyramids. Many such structures are displayed at Domino shows, where domino builders compete to see whose build is the most creative and spectacular. These displays often take hours to set up and can have hundreds of dominoes, sometimes thousands, all laid out in careful sequence with a single nudge from the first piece. It’s amazing to watch.
