Dominoes are small, oblong pieces marked with multiple spots or pip on both sides, used in positional games to form lines. A domino typically measures twice its width with respect to length; there are however numerous variants. They may be arranged into patterns and decorated as desired; their values on either side should usually match one another; some contain no pip at all while some remain blank; sometimes dominoes are also known by names like bones, cards, men or tiles.
The term domino comes from Latin “dominus,” which translates as lord or master. By the 18th century, domino had come to refer to an overbearing or powerful ruler, though more recently this has come to mean anything from being “destructive,” “striking,” and even “influential.”
When pushed, one domino exerts force upon its neighbors. This force then pushes other dominoes in its direction and sets off a chain reaction of falling dominoes until all have fallen, or until its initial domino is knocked over by another force. This effect can often be seen depicted in movies or books; with images showing a domino collapsing upon another domino, symbolizing collapse or destruction of an entire structure or system.
At Six Pack, Domino was forced to become its leader when Cable left them. She battled an implant placed by Prime Sentinel commander Ekatarina Gryaznova which left her vulnerable against neural inhibitor implants; she eventually overcame these and rejoined X-Force only to be soon captured by Blockade (now Gryphon) who used her as part of his scheme to rob a bank.
Once she was released from incarceration, Domino was approached by Jesse Aaronson who offered to reveal where his brother Gryaznova was located in exchange for Domino helping find him and defeating the device on his body. She eventually made her way back to X-Force where she experienced an awkward reunion with Cable.
Domino is endowed with an incredible power that she refers to as “The Domino Effect.” She uses this ability to bring luck and fortune to those around her; although she cannot consciously control this force, it often manifests in stressful situations like fighting or fleeing; it has even helped a friend avoid capture by an FBI agent!
Learning challenges can have a cascading effect on students. Even minor changes can have significant ramifications for learning or succeeding in certain subjects. When students compensate for learning challenges by engaging in counterproductive behaviors like procrastinating assignments or engaging in repetitive review sessions, this may impede progress toward reaching new levels within that subject and even hinder social and emotional well-being.
