If you are one of those executive types unhappy at your present post and embarking on a New Year's resolution to find a new one, here's a helping hand.

Board of Djambi, with the pieces in their start position. Each piece is identified by the first letter of its name as well as a symbol. Rules[edit] Material[edit] The game is played on a 9×9 board whose central square (called "the maze") is marked with a different color or a sign. Each player has 9 pieces: 1 Chief1 Assassin1 Reporter1 Troublemaker (also called Provocateur, or Diplomat)1 Necromobile4 Militants.

Objective[edit] The objective of the game is to capture the chiefs of the other players before they capture yours. Start position[edit] The pieces are placed in each corner of the board as shown in the picture above. Movements[edit] Each player, at his/her turn, moves one of his/her pieces, and can possibly capture a piece in this way. Captures[edit] The troublemaker and the necromobile cannot kill the other pieces but can move them. The maze[edit] En pointe. Pointe technique is the part of classical ballet technique that concerns pointe work, in which a ballet dancer supports all body weight on the tips of fully extended feet.

A dancer is said to be en pointe when the dancer's body is supported in this manner, and a fully extended vertical foot is said to be en pointe when touching the floor, even when not bearing weight. Pointe work is performed while wearing pointe shoes, which employ structural reinforcing to distribute the dancer's weight load throughout the foot, thus reducing the load on the toes enough to enable the dancer to support all body weight on fully vertical feet. Pointe technique resulted from a desire for female dancers to appear weightless and sylph-like. Although both men and women are capable of pointe work, it is most often performed by women. Typically, years of training and practice are required to develop the strength and technique needed to perform pointe work.
