TwixT
TwixT is a two-player Abstract strategy game, strategy board game, an early entrant in the 1960s 3M bookshelf game series. It became one of the most popular and enduring games in the series. It is a connection game where players alternate turns placing pegs and links on a pegboard in an attempt to link their opposite sides. While TwixT itself is simple, the game also requires strategy, so young children can play it, but it also appeals to adults. The game has been discontinued except in Germany and Japan. History TwixT was invented as a paper and pencil game in 1957 by Alex Randolph, a game designer. When Alex was commissioned along with Sid Sackson by 3M in 1961 to start a games division, the game was issued as a boardgame, one of the first 3M bookshelf games. Avalon Hill took over publication in 1976 when 3M sold its game division. Avalon's parent company was acquired by Hasbro in 1998, and the game was discontinued. The game is no longer produced in the United States, ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

It is a restricted stakes race open to Maryland-bred fillies three years old and up and is run at seven furlongs on the dirt. An ungraded stakes race, it offers a purse of $75,000 as of 2017.

There's Many A Slip 'twixt The Cup And The Lip
''There's many a slip 'twixt the cup and the lip'' is an English proverb. It implies that even when a good outcome or conclusion seems certain, things can still go wrong, similar in meaning to "don't count your chickens before they hatch". The modern proverb dates to the early 19th century, with English-language predecessors dating back to the 16th century, based on Latin and Greek templates reaching back to at least the 2nd century. Origin There is a reference to the many things that can intervene between cup and lip already in an iambic verse by Lycophron (3rd century BC) quoted by Erasmus. There is a slight similarity between the wording of the proverb and that of an unattributed Greek iambic trimeter verse quoted by Cicero in one of his letters ''Ad Atticum'' (51 BC), but here refers to the geographical distance between Cicero and his correspondent. The English proverb is almost identical with a Greek hexameter, : :"Much there is between the cup and the tip of the lip." Th ...

Twixter
Twixter is a neologism that describes a new generation of young adults in United States, America and other industrialized countries who are trapped, in a sense, ''betwixt'' (between) adolescence and adulthood. This Western neologism is somewhat analogous to the Japanese term parasite single. Behavior Twixters are typically young adults who live with their parents or are otherwise not independent financially. If they are employed, they often have unsteady and low-paying jobs. They may have recently left university or high school, or recently embarked on a career. Media coverage ''Time'' published an article called "Twixter Generation: Young Adults Who Won't Grow Up", about Twixters in January 2005, putting this relatively obscure demographic in the spotlight. The article focused on upper- and middle-class Twixters whose parents could support them. The article made no distinction between people who lived on their own with their parents' help and people who lived with their parents ...
