Clue is a classic board game for players ages eight and up. The game takes about an hour to play and calls for three to six players to investigate a murder by gathering evidence. The winner is the player who, through the process of elimination, can figure out which three cards are hidden within the secret envelope that hold the answers to Mr. Boddy’s murder. Clue is often referred to as Cluedo in the UK, where it was invented during World War II....

These grades aren’t very steep for model trains, but they are steep grades for real-life trains. In real-life railroading, there are three classes of grades: 0.8 percent to 1 percent is “light grade,” 1 percent to 1.8 percent is “heavy grade,” and anything greater than 1.8 percent is “mountain grade.” Because of this limitation in real-life trains, some builders of prototypical model railroads will ridicule any grade steeper than 2 percent, calling them “toy train” layouts....

The location of the mint mark will vary depending upon the type of coin. It has been a tradition in the United States that coins minted at the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania facility do not carry a mint mark since this is the main production facility for the mint. However, there are some exceptions and changes to the tradition where the Philadelphia mint facility began using a “P” as a mint mark on coins....

People generally write batches of DOS commands or shell commands. When you execute a DOS (Windows) batch file by double clicking the .bat file –the command prompt windows pops up, execute commands quickly and then disappears. If your batch file is short and commands don’t take much time to execute, you may not even properly see the cmd window on screen! It all happens so quickly. This, usually black colored, cmd window will not stay to show how your batch file executed....

Other than your labor and ingenuity, concrete is probably the most vital ingredient in your stepping stones. But what kind of concrete should you use to make your stepping stones? Terminology The words cement and concrete are often used interchangeably—and incorrectly. The material used for the rock-hard surfaces that form sidewalks, driveways, and entry steps is known as concrete. One of the prime components of that concrete is cement—which is a fine gray powder made from pulverized calcined limestone and clay....

Traditional Scoring In most chess tournaments held since the middle of the 19th century, there has been a very simple scoring system used. Players who scored a win in a game were awarded a point, while those scoring draws were given a half-point. Losing a game, as you might expect, was worth zero points. There were, and continue to be, many good reasons why this system became the standard in tournament play....

Links (both web URLs and email address links) in PDF were formatted in blue color and underline (the way they were in MS Word) but they were not clickable. It was important for me to make these links in PDF work. So, I asked Google and did a bit of research on it. I found that this problem was faced by many people. In several forums plugins and online PDF services were suggested as the solution of this problem....

Special mint sets consist of one coin of each circulating type in the year it was issued: cent, nickel, dime, quarter, and half-dollar. The coins were sealed in special packaging. In 1965, a clear vinyl soft plastic called “pliofilm” was used; in 1966 and 1967, the coins were placed into hard plastic cases. Both sets originally sold for $4.00 per set. Why Make Special Mint Sets? In 1964, the dime, quarter, and half-dollar were made out of 90% silver....

You can design a T-shirt quilt in nearly any way you wish, but there are a few little extras that need to be handled before the shirts are sewn into a quilt. You have to consider whether to use a stabilizer, how to cut the blocks, and what sashing and other patchwork you will use.

Tens is closely related to the solitaire card game Block Ten. The player removes pairs of cards that add up to 10 or sets of four matching cards for cards ten, jack, queen, and king. Suits don’t matter. It is suitable for children who are able to add card pairs to the sum of ten. However, given that they are going to lose most of the time and there isn’t any skill involved, do you really want them to learn those lessons?...

Every color can produce a variety of tones; how light or dark these depends on the color. It’s important to realize that tones are relative, that’s why how dark or light they seem depends on what’s going on around them. A tone that’s obviously light in one context may seem darker in another if it’s surrounded by even lighter tones. The number or range of tones that can be produced also varies....

The Invention of Paper China’s place in the history of paper crafts starts early. The invention of paper by Cai Lun around 105 AD in China is well recognized by historians. An Imperial court official during the Han Dynasty, he created sheets of paper from mulberry, bast fibers, old rags, fishnets, and hemp waste. Early forms of paper had existed in China since the 2nd century BC, but his standardization of the process and improvements to the general composition helped make paper able to be widely used as a writing medium....
