Dice were found in the Indus civilisation in 2400 BC. Dice identical to those we know today have been found, with 6 sides and 6 small holes. Generally cubic with 6 sides usually numbered from 1 to 6 and therefore the values of the opposite sides is equal to 7. Dice have also been used as objects of divination.

e) Why relook your sofa with different cushions? By decorating your sofa with different cushions, you can add a personal touch, increase comfort and brighten up your home. Colourful fabrics are enough to brighten up your sofa or bed. Cushions are a real decorative asset, allowing us to give a new look to our living room or bedrooms. Let's not forget their practical use: they make armchairs, wooden or metal chairs more comfortable. When installed in the bedroom, they create a very pleasant atmosphere. Their bright colours make even the most sober fabrics stand out, while the patterns add character to the decor. f) What to do when a cushion is "flat". To keep your cushions soft and plump all year round, choose or have your cushion cover made so that it is at least 1.5 to 2 cm smaller than the stuffing (or inner cushions) all around. This will spread the inner material over the height and give it some bulge for a nice visual effect and also improve the comfort of the cushion. However, on Gifts-custopolis.com the filling is well suited to our cushions.

5 MOMENTS THAT MARKED THE HISTORY OF CHESS 1. The coronation of the queen: In 1450, chess knew the coronation of the queen. To make the games faster, it was decided to allow the queen to go as far as desired and in all directions. 2 Staunton pieces: Howard Staunton, who was a great chess player, had unique pieces built. These pieces are still used today as a world standard in his name. 3. The clock: In 1861, the first chess clocks appeared, making the games much faster and more dynamic, and therefore, much more competitive. 4. The first world champion: Wilhelm Steinitz is the first world champion in 1886. 5. the age of silicon: IBM creates a computer capable of beating the world champion of the time, Garry Kasparov, in 1989. Chess game as a tool for reconstruction Throughout history, games and sports have helped humanity survive times of crisis by reducing anxiety and improving mental health. In 2020, while restrictions imposed to limit the spread of COVID-19 have severely limited most of these activities, chess has shown remarkable resilience, adaptability and convening power in times of pandemic. Since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, general interest in chess has doubled, with an increase in the number of players gathering to participate in chess events on online platforms.

13th century. Mechanical clocks began to develop. More than thirty testimonies are quoted from all over Europe at the end of the 13th century. In these texts we find the purchase of iron and weights and the acquisition of expensive clocks in monasteries, cathedrals and princely residences. These prices were often considerable: six marks for the clock of the monastery of Colmar in 1278, thirty pounds for that of Canterbury in 1292, fifty pounds for a simple repair or transformation of the clock of the cathedral of Sens in 1319. Gradually, the mechanical clock, whose movement is permanently maintained by a motorised weight, replaced the boring water clock that had to be constantly cleaned and filled or emptied. It seems that these early clocks - like the water clocks - were first intended to strike a particular time (e.g. alarm clock) and a little later to strike different times of the day; these clocks were "blind": they had no dial! The striking mechanism was operated by one or more pins on a wheel of the mechanism. This transfer of technology from hydraulic to mechanical power enabled the original purpose of the clock to be retained: the striking of a precise hour; this invention has therefore remained practically anonymous. It was not until a little later, in 1336, that an important innovation changed the history of clock-making: striking clocks.
