Excerpts from the Exhibit Timeline Excerpts from the Exhibit TimeLine ============================================================================ Move like a piece on a giant game board as you learn about the history of American games, puzzles, and public amusements at Game Time! a new permanent exhibit opening at the National Museum of Play at The Strong on April 13, 2013. An exhibit timeline showcases rare artifacts from the museum’s collections along with advertisements and video clips. Excerpts from the exhibit timeline appear below. ============================================================================= 1840–1900 Pigs in Clover: This dexterity puzzle, invented in 1889 by Charles M. Crandall, fueled a craze that distracted senators during senate debates; even President Benjamin Harrison played with it at the White House. Peter Coddle: This game (from about 1890) is a long printed story containing blanks, read aloud, into which players supply the (noun) word for each blank in turn, resulting in nonsensical hilarity. The game’s influence on contemporary games can be seen in today’s Mad Libs. Authors: The 1861 card game is basically “Go Fish.” Players attempt to form sets of authors’ works and thus score points. The educational component appealed to parents and helped popularize this game. Parcheesi: Along with checkers, chess, and backgammon, Parccheesi is one of the few ancient games that survive today virtually unchanged. Fish Pond: Versions of this classic 1890 dexterity game were produced by nearly all the major late 19th-century game makers. Some even made magnetized examples similar to contemporary versions. District Messenger Boy: A generic title for a series of late 19th- and possibly early 20th-century games based on the “rags-to-riches” boys’ novels of Horatio Algier Jr. Players start at the bottom of the “firm” as a messenger and the winner is the first to become company president. Unlike earlier religious and morality-based games that rewarded virtuous behavior, Messenger Boy players scored points for industrious behavior. 1900–1960 Scrabble: The board game grew out of a popular fascination with crossword puzzles in the early and mid-20th century. The Scrabble app (and competitor Words with Friends) is among the most popular of current Facebook games. Electric Football: Manufactured in 1947, the game grew into a hit. Simple vibrating technology allowed for not-very-realistic football action. Sports fans of all ages seemed to love the game and millions sold. Risk: Originally appearing in France in 1957 as LaConquette do Monde (the conquest of the world), players attempt to dominate the world. Risk paved the way for many war games, strategy games, and eventually electronic games that followed in its wake. —more— 2—Timeline Candy Land: Eleanor Abbott designed the game in 1945 while recovering from polio. Scholars believe that Candy Land, in part, grew out of a wish to keep the smallest children indoors to (incorrectly) offer them more protection from the threat of polio. It remains one of a child’s first games. Clue: Originally marketed as Cluedo, the game was invented by Englishman Anthony Pratt in 1944 as a means of keeping people occupied while they sat in air-raid bunkers during World War II. Parker Brothers renamed it “Clue” and most players are still familiar with the longest lived characters: Colonel Mustard, Miss Scarlet, Ms. White, Professor Plum, Mr. Green, and Ms. Peacock. Yahtzee: The dice game first appeared in 1956 and is based on several other historic and very similar dice games. Today there are multiple electronic versions of Yahtzee. 1960–2012 Twister: This so-called “stockin’ foot game” and the first to use players’ bodies as playing pieces, appeared in 1966. Not selling well at first, it became a sensational seller after late-night TV host Johnny Carson played the game on his show with beautiful starlet Eva Gabor. The game initially raised furor for selling “sex in a box” but eventually marketed itself for children and still sells strongly. Strat-O-Matic Baseball: Invented in 1961 by Bucknell University mathematics student Hal Richman, the game remains one of the most popular baseball simulation games in the world. Many competitors produce similar versions but none approach the sales volume or recognition of the Strat-o-Matic brand. It is now available for online play as well. Mystery Date: Legendary toy inventor Marvin Glass devised the game to appeal to teenage girls in 1965. A roll of the dice determined if players would partner with a “dreamboat” or a “dud.” Television advertising and an unforgettable jingle added to the game’s initial success. Rubik’s Cube: Hungarian sculptor and mathematics professor Erno Rubik invented the 3-D mechanical puzzle in 1974 and originally called it “Magic Cube.” The clever puzzle fostered many competitive “speedcubing” contests, which still occur worldwide. Dungeons & Dragons: Devoted wargamers Gary Gygax and Dave Arneson modified a war game and developed their role-playing game system, marketed under the name Dungeon & Dragons, beginning in 1974. The game helped pave the way to later electronic games and gaming systems, not to mention the massively multiplayer online role-playing games themselves. The Dalluhn Manuscript, two hand-typed volumes most likely authored by Gygax and Arneson in spring of 1973, is on display in Game Time! and is thought to be either a play testing document or a prototype example serving as a model for the more finished product released the next year. Some experts believe this manuscript to be the earliest existing version of Dungeons & Dragons. Settlers of Catan: The first German-style board game to achieve popularity and recognition outside of Europe, designer Klaus Teuber’s 1995 Settlers of Catan still enjoys popularity today. The game won numerous awards initially, and has been translated into 30 languages to date. Catan’s players build settlements, cities, and roads on the fictional island of Catan, collaborating and competing for resources and trying to out build opponents. It has fostered numerous spin-off games and video games. Game Time! is made possible by a grant from the U.S. Institute of Museum and Library Services. The Strong acknowledges the support of Greater Hudson Heritage Network for artifact preservation.

Just like reading, regular practice with problem solving, computation, and math facts will maintain and strengthen the mathematic gains you have made through the school year. Enjoy these activities to explore problem solving at home. The goal is for you to have fun thinking and working collaboratively to communicate mathematical ideas. While you are working ask how the solution was found and why a particular strategy helped you to solve the problem. Fall Fun Campbell Elementary 5th Grade Gloria Cuellar-Kyle Math Journals are an excellent tool for helping children record their perceptions about math and the strategies they employ to arrive at a solution. A math journal is a book in which children record their math work and thinking. At home a math journal can be used to: Record the solutions to math problems or projects , along with the strategy and thought processes used to arrive at the solution o For instance a math problem or project may require some time (perhaps days) to arrive at a solution and a math journal helps children to reflect on their thought processes as well as strategies that did and did not work. Write about learning: When children students are asked to reflect on their math learning. For example, children may be asked to write about "what you already know about ......" before beginning an activity or "think about what you did today, what your learned, and any questions you have", or "the three most important things you learned from this activity." These opportunities to journal provide children with metacognitive occasions to think about their thinking or consider points that were not clear.

    Learning Board Game Rules from an Instruction Manual Chad Mills A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science University of Washington 2013 Committee: Gina-Anne Levow Fei Xia Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Linguistics – Computational Linguistics ©Copyright 2013 Chad Mills University of Washington Abstract Learning Board Game Rules from an Instruction Manual Chad Mills Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Professor Gina-Anne Levow Department of Linguistics Board game rulebooks offer a convenient scenario for extracting a systematic logical structure from a passage of text since the mechanisms by which board game pieces interact must be fully specified in the rulebook and outside world knowledge is irrelevant to gameplay. A representation was proposed for representing a game’s rules with a tree structure of logically-connected rules, and this problem was shown to be one of a generalized class of problems in mapping text to a hierarchical, logical structure. Then a keyword-based entity- and relation-extraction system was proposed for mapping rulebook text into the corresponding logical representation, which achieved an f-measure of 11% with a high recall but very low precision, due in part to many statements in the rulebook offering strategic advice or elaboration and causing spurious rules to be proposed based on keyword matches. The keyword-based approach was compared to a machine learning approach, and the former dominated with nearly twenty times better precision at the same level of recall. This was due to the large number of rule classes to extract and the relatively small data set given this is a new problem area and all data had to be manually annotated.

  • Brian Munroe Clerk of Courts Bucks County
    Brian Munroe Clerk of Courts Bucks County The Docket March/April 2021 Unclaimed Bail A bail bond allows a defendant to be released from incarceration with conditions and a promise to return for court appearances. Bail is determined by a Magisterial District Judge or a Common Pleas Judge. Bail can be posted by the defendant on their own behalf, by a surety or bail bondsman. If a surety or bail bondsman post the bail, it is their responsibility to ensure the accused appears for their court appointments. During this process bail can be revoked or adjusted. Failure to appear can result in the full amount of the bail to be forfeited to the county. If the offender appears in court and the case has been concluded, the bail will be returned, minus a fee. After a case has been completed, our office is required to wait 30 days before the TYPES OF BAIL refund process can begin. We send a letter to the appropriate person, asking how they would like their refund directed. Collected bail money can be applied directly to court ROR– Released on costs or returned. The office will attempt to reach out three times to the current recognizance. No payment but address on file. If a defendant does not change their address with the Clerk of Courts signs a bond assuring future office, or does not authorize distribution of the refund, the money will remain in appearances. escrow. Over the last four decades a significant amount of bail has been unclaimed even though this money still belongs to the defendant or surety.

  • Lesson from a Yahtzee Game the Benefits of Going with Your Gut by JT (Jerry) Fest
    JTFest Consulting Training & Consultation visit the Online Library at www.in4y.com Lesson From a Yahtzee Game The benefits of going with your gut By JT (Jerry) Fest Trust your hunches. They're usually based on facts filed away just below the conscious level ~ Joyce Brothers In another article (Instinct Trumps Training) I suggested that we learn to professionally respond in situations rather than be slaves to our instincts. In this article I suggest the exactly the opposite, that we should trust our instincts. Contradiction? Not really. It’s more a matter of semantics. In the other article, the “instincts” I was referring to were our ingrained, almost involuntary reactions that are rooted in emotions … fear, anger, loss of control. We often experience these emotions in youth work, and it’s critical that we learn to recognize them so that we may respond appropriately according to our training, rather than react reflexively according to our emotions. The “instincts” I refer to in this article are those “gut level” feelings we have that are really nothing more than the sum of our experience and knowledge telling us the right thing to do. Emotional reactions are instincts that often do not serve us well in youth work … gut level feelings based on experience and knowledge often serve us very well. I was reminded of this in a recent game of Yahtzee. If you’re not familiar with Yahtzee, it’s a dice game where you have 3 rolls to get certain scores or combinations with 5 dice. In this particular game, the situation I was in was that I needed my 4 of a kind.
