Obsession is a board game released in 1977 for two players in which the player wins by moving their ten rings along numbered slots.
 They must get all ten rings into the "safety zone" before their opponent.
 Each player rolls a pair of dice, and can choose either to move their own rings up, or their opponent's rings down.
Indecent Obsession (also seen as Obsession) were an Australian pop rock band formed early in 1987 in Brisbane with founding mainstays Daryl Sims on drums and Michael Szumowski on keyboards.
 By 1988 the line-up also included Andrew Coyne on lead guitar and David Dixon on lead vocals.
 They released three studio albums, "Spoken Words" (November 1989) and "Indio" (August 1992), both reached the top 50 on the ARIA Albums Chart.
 In 1990 "Spoken Words" was repackaged for United States market as "Indecent Obsession", which reached the "Billboard" 200.
 In May 1989 they issued their debut single, "Say Goodbye", which peaked at No. 6 on the ARIA Singles Chart – their highest position in Australia.
 Their second single, "Tell Me Something" (September), reached No. 17 nationally.
 When issued in the US it peaked at No. 31 on the "Billboard" Hot 100.
 It reached No. 1 in Indonesia and Hong Kong, and Top 10 in Japan and South Africa.
 For the Asian market the band used the shortened name, Obsession.
 In 1992 they were the first Western act to tour South Africa after the lifting of the cultural isolation during the apartheid era.
 They were "greeted by screaming fans and scenes of mass hysteria", both their second album, "Indio", and one of its singles, "Kiss Me", peaked at No. 1 on the relevant South African charts.
 By 1993 Sims and Szumowski were joined by Mark Gray on bass guitar, Richard Hennassey on lead vocals and Graham Kearns on lead guitar.
 The following year they issued another studio album, "Relativity", before disbanding a year later.
The PAH world hypothesis is a speculative hypothesis that proposes that polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH), known to be abundant in the universe, including in comets, and, as well, assumed to be abundant in the primordial soup of the early Earth, played a major role in the origin of life by mediating the synthesis of RNA molecules, leading into the RNA world.
 However, as yet, the hypothesis is untested.
Pasang is a two-player abstract strategy board game from Brunei.
 The game is often referred to as Pasang Emas which is actually a software implementation of the traditional board game.
 The object of this game is to acquire the most points by capturing black and white tokens on the board.
 Black tokens are worth 1 point, and white tokens are worth 2 points.
 The board is initially laid out with all 120 black and white tokens in one of over 30 traditional patterns.
 Players choose a piece called a "ka" which is used to capture the tokens on the board.
 Each player's "ka" moves around the board capturing as many tokens as possible.
 As a note, the "kas" are the only mobile pieces in the game.
 The other pieces are stationary, and are captured by the "kas".
 Players must capture token(s) during their turn, or lose the game.
 When all tokens have been captured from the board, the player with the most points is the winner.
 However, if there are any tokens left on the board, and none can be captured on a player's turn, then that player loses the game, and the other player is the winner.
Sidney Walter Fox (24 March 1912 – 10 August 1998) was a Los Angeles-born biochemist responsible for discoveries on the origins of life.
 Fox explored the synthesis of amino acids from inorganic molecules, the synthesis of proteinous amino acids and amino acid polymers called "proteinoids" from inorganic molecules and thermal energy, and created what he thought was the world's first protocell out of proteinoids and water.
 He called these globules "microspheres".
 Fox believed in the process of abiogenesis where life spontaneously organized itself from the colloquially known "primordial soup;" poolings of various simple organic molecules that existed during the time before life on Earth.
 He also suggested that his experiments possessed conditions that were similar to those of primordial Earth.
 In his experiments, he demonstrated that it is possible to create protein-like structures from inorganic molecules and thermal energy.
 Dr. Fox went on to create microspheres that he said closely resembled bacterial cells and concluded that they could be similar to the earliest forms of life or protocells.
Francis Tresham is a United Kingdom-based board game designer who has been producing board games since the early 1970s.
 Tresham founded and ran games company Hartland Trefoil (founded 1971), a company well known for its "Civilization" board game, until its sale to MicroProse in 1997.
 His "1829" game was the first of the "18xx" board game series and some of his board games have inspired Sid Meier computer games such as "Railroad Tycoon".
Primordial soup, or prebiotic soup, is a hypothetical condition of the Earth's atmosphere before the emergence of life.
 It is a chemical environment in which the first biological molecules (organic compounds) were formed under natural forces.
 According to the theory, simple organic compounds were created from non-living inorganic molecules (abiogenesis) through physical and chemical reactions on the Earth's surface.
 The so formed organic molecules accumulate into a rich organic ocean, or a "soup".
 In this soup, simple organic molecules reacted with each other (polymerise) to form more complex molecules, including nucleic acids and proteins, which are the central structural and functional components of all organisms.
 These molecules then aggregate to become the first forms of life.
