P decree was issued by Adolf Hitler on March 19, 1945 ordering the destruction of 

German infrastructure to prevent their use by Allied forces as they penetrateddeep within Germany. It was officially titled Demolitions on Reich Territory and

has subsequently become known as the P, after the Roman Emperor X.

Its most pertinent section reads as follows:

"It is a mistake to think that transport and communication facilities, industrial

establishments and supply depots, which have not been destroyed, or have only

been temporarily put out of action, can be used again for our own ends when the

lost territory has been recovered. The enemy will leave us nothing but scorched

earth when he withdraws, without paying the slightest regard to the population. I

therefore order:

"1) All military transport and communication facilities, industrial establishments and

supply depots, as well as anything else of value within Reich territory, which could

in any way be used by the enemy immediately or within the foreseeable future for

the prosecution of the war, will be destroyed.

� X, or "Big Boat", is made in Beypore, a village in south Calicut,

Kerala, in southwestern India. A couple of boat-building yards can be

found near the Beypore port. These have been used by the Arabs

and Greeks since ancient times as trading vessels, and even now, Xs

are being manufactured and exported to Arab nations fromBeypore. It is built of several types of wood, the main one being

teak. The teak was taken from Nilambur forests in earlier times, but

now imported Malaysian teak is used.

� A remarkable feature of the technology of X making is that, there is

no documents, technical data sheets or drawings right from the

beginning till end of the manufacturing. No electrical tools or heavy

machines are used.

� Another amazing feature is the pre calculated water line markedaround the hull, will be precisely on the water-level while the boat is

launched.

"It is subtracting positive 1", declared the first."No; it is adding negative 1", asserted the other.

Master Foo answered them thus: "Not incrementing, not decrementing Equalizing!" whereupon both were enlightened.

The teacher called on the student and asked him what he was doing. The studentreplied that he was trying to master the game.

The teacher said, "Give me your video game, and I will show you."The studentgave him the game, and the teacher threw it to the ground, breaking it into

pieces. The student was enlightened.

� X (October 2, 1966 October 23, 2000) was an American professionalwrestler. He was best known for his time with the World WrestlingFederation (WWF) where he wrestled under the ring name Y. The term Y refers to the highest rank in professional sumo wrestling in Japan.Although the Y" character was portrayed as a champion sumo wrestler, Xhad never competed as an actual sumotori . Though Y wrestled as a

representative of Japan, he was of Samoan origin and was accordinglybilled as hailing from Polynesia (although he was managed by Mr. Fuji,who would follow X to the ring with a wooden bucket of salt, and waving aJapanese flag).

� In the WWF, X was a two-time WWF Champion and two-time Tag Team

Champion (with Owen Hart), as well as the winner of the 1993 RoyalRumble. X was the first wrestler of Samoan descent to hold the WWFChampionship as well as the first Royal Rumble winner to receive a worldtitle shot at WrestleMania, as a result of a direct stipulation.

X is one of the most culturally diverse countries on Earth, with over 850

indigenous languages and at least as many traditional societies, out of a

population of just under seven million. It is also one of the most rural, as only18% of its people live in urban centres. The country is one of the world's least

explored, culturally and geographically, and many undiscovered species of 

plants and animals are thought to exist in the interior of X.

The majority of the population live in traditional societies and practisesubsistence-based agriculture. These societies and clans have some explicit

acknowledgement within the nation's constitutional framework. The

Constitution (Preamble 5(4)) expresses the wish for "traditional villages and

communities to remain as viable units of X society", and for active steps to be

taken in their preservation.

After being ruled by three external powers since 1884, X gained its

independence from Australia in 1975. It remains a realm of Her Majesty

Queen Elizabeth II, Queen of X. Many people live in extreme poverty, with

about one third of the population living on less than US$1.25 per day.

� X is one of the producers on a T intin movie directed by Steven Spielberg. The

project will use 3-D animation combined with motion capture to bring the project

to the silver screen, likely in 2011. X has planned to direct the sequel with

tentative plans for himself and Spielberg to co-direct a third film.

� X had talked of producing films for others as early as 1995, but a number of factors

slowed developments in this regard, including the failure of Jack Brown Genius

(1995). After he became a force in Hollywood, he was set to produce a

$128 million movie version of the science fiction video game series Hal o, but the

project went on hold when financial backers withdrew their support. The failure of Halo however led to what became District 9, which ended up a box office hit and

garnered a Best Picture nomination.

� X and his newly formed studio Wingnut Interactive are working on an unrevealed

project being developed by Microsoft Game Studios in collaboration with Bungie

Studios. The project has been officially titled Hal o: Chroni cles but beyondspeculation little else is known about its nature. He was to be the executive

producer on a Hal o film, developed and released by Universal Studios and 20th

Century Fox but in October 2006 the film was postponed indefinitely. The film was

never officially cancelled and in late June 2008 X commented that, "With

upcoming developments (Halo: Chronicles), I wouldn't know when to expect a

movie, and I'm the producer."

In the mid-1970s, the West Indies cricket team donned pink uniforms to face the yellow-clad

Aussies in an exhibition day-night game in a floodlit Sydney Cricket Ground. Needless to say

the Windies were then embarrassed by the garish colour of their clothing.

But now nearly four decades on, both the touring English team and the Aussie team, as well

as fans, spectators and dignitaries at the SCG, all sported a bit of pink. And that too, proudly.

It was part of the celebrations of X Day which kicked off after stumps on Day 3 of the final

A

shes Test. The famous cricket arena was transformed into a sea of pink for the third year insupport of funding for ___________ and in memory of X.

Most of the 40,000 spectators at the SCG threw their weight behind the cause, wearing pink

shirts, skirts, bandanas, wigs and pink zinc facial cream.

The stumps were pink, as was the scoreboard and the sponsor signs. The Australian players

donned pink shoelaces, and Andrew Strauss's English team all signed pink caps to beauctioned for the charity. Even the Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard, showed up at the

venue in a pink shirt.

� He is the only member of the troupe not born in Britain; he took Britishcitizenship in 1968.

His films are usually highly imaginative fantasies. His long-time co-writerCharles McKeown comments about X's recurring interests, "the theme of imagination, and the importance of imagination, to how you live and how

you think and so on [...] that's very much a Xs theme.

� Most of X's movies include plot-lines that seem to occur partly orcompletely in the characters' imaginations, raising questions about thedefinition of identity and sanity. He often shows his opposition tobureaucracy and authoritarian regimes. He also distinguishes "higher" and

"lower" layers of society, with a disturbing and ironic style. There is often adark, paranoid atmosphere and unusual characters who formerly werenormal members of society. His scripts feature black comedy and oftenend with a dark tragicomic twist.

� A X is a traditional form for English poetry, commonly used for epic and narrativepoetry; it refers to poems constructed from a sequence of rhyming pairs of iambicpentameter lines. The rhyme is always masculine. Use of the X was first pioneered byGeoffrey Chaucer in the Legend of Good Women and the Canterbury Tales. Chaucer isalso widely credited with first extensive use of iambic pentameter.

� Twentieth century authors have occasionally made use of the X , often as an allusion to

the works of poets of previous centuries.A

n example of this is Vladimir

Nabokov's novelPale Fire, the first section of which is a 999 line, 4 canto poem largely written in loose X

but also allowing for frequent enjambment. Here is an example from the first canto.

And then black night. That blackness was sublime.

I felt distributed through space and time:

One foot upon a mountaintop. one hand

Under the pebbles of a panting strand,One ear in Italy, one eye in Spain,

In caves, my blood, and in the stars, my brain.

(Canto One. 147-153)

� The GBU-43/B Massive Ordnance Air Blast bomb (MOAB) (colloquially known as X) is alarge-yield conventional bomb developed for the United States military by Albert L.Weimorts, Jr. At the time of development, it was touted as the most powerful non-

nuclear weapon ever designed. The bomb was designed to be delivered by a C-130Hercules, primarily the MC-130E Combat Talon I or MC-130H Combat Talon II variants.

� Since then, Russia has tested its Y" which is claimed to be four times more powerfulthan the X.

� Aviation Thermobaric Bomb of Increased Power (

ATBIP) (Russian: ()), nicknamed Y (

), is a Russian-made air-delivered/land activated thermobaric weapon. Indescribing the bomb's destructive power, Russian deputy armed forces chief of staff Alexander Rukshin was quoted as saying, "all that is alive merely evaporates.

� X and Y.

� C is a style of computer programming that is characterized by the ritualinclusion of code or program structures that serve no real purpose. C istypically symptomatic of a programmer not understanding either a bug he or

she was attempting to solve or the apparent solution The term may also applywhen an unskilled or novice computer programmer (or one not experiencedwith the problem at hand) copies some program code from one place andpastes it into another place, with little or no understanding of how the codeworks, or if it is required in its new position.

� C can also refer to the results of (over-)applying a design pattern or codingstyle blindly without understanding the reasons behind that design principle inthe first place. Examples are adding unnecessary comments to self-explanatory code, adding deletion code for objects that garbage collectionwould have collected automatically with no problem, creating factory objectsto build simple objects, etc. It often happens when programmers are

inex

perienced with the programming language, or simply overzealous.

In the 1950s, even as the Pr agatishi la merged back into the Nav od ayamainstream, a new modernist school of writing called X emerged. Thoughformally inaugurated by V. K. Gokak with his X Kav it egal u ("Modern Poems",1950), it was Gopalakrishna Adiga who best exemplified the ethos of the

movement.

The X writers questioned the time-honoured standards of plot of theNav od aya; life was seen not as a pursuit of already existing values, but as anintrospective search for them, occasionally narrated in stream of consciousness technique. Events and details were increasingly treatedmetaphorically and the short story grew closer to poetry.[GopalakrishnaAdiga is considered the father of this form of expression with his Nad eduBand a Dari ("The Path Traversed", 1952) where he sought inspiration from T.S. Eliot and W. H. Auden.

The X movement was not without its critics. The doubt, dilemmas andindecision in every turn of the plot resulted in increasingly sophisticated andcomplex narrations, which some readers found uninteresting. It was deridedas an intellectual exercise of the middle class intelligentsia; in its extremesophistication, it was thought to have lost its touch with realities of life. Thisled to a gradual waning of the X school as it was supplanted by emergingwaves of Navy ott ar a, Band aya (protest) and Dal it schools.

� As early as 1939, X was interested in establishing a car factory in India. Birlafamily was also working in the same direction. In 1940, he signed an MOU with Chrysler but could not get clearances and concessions from the Mysore

government unlike in the case of the aircraft company. In 1945, he establishedPremier Automobiles PAL near Bombay. By 1948, the company startedindigenisation in a small way with an in-house components department. In1951 , PAL signed up with Fiat to assemble the Fiat500 .

� X was noted for his ambition and vision. Despite not hailing from anestablished business house, the projects undertaken by X were grand indesign, to say the least. While he seemed to oppose nationalization andgovernment control of some of the projects he started such as the shipyardand the aircraft factory, the fact remains that these businesses may have hadto face liquidation but for government investing the money. Despite exercisingmanagement control in firms such as Scindia Steam Navigation Company Ltd.,Hindustan Aircraft and Hindustan Shipyard, he was not the largest shareholderin any of these companies.

� During the Jyllands-Post en Muhammad cartoons controversy in 2006,

several religious Iranian groups advocated changing the name of highly

popular X pastry (Shrini ye Danmar k i ), given its name association with the

source country of the offending cartoons. The Iranian confectioner'sunion designated "Roses of the Prophet Muhammad" as the new name for

X pastries made in the country as of 15 February 2006, although

compliance with the proposed name in bakeries was mixed and short-

lived. Related to this, many protesters in several Muslim countries,

angered by the pictures of Muhammad, boycotted X goods. "Roses of 

Muhammad" (Persian:  " gole mohammadi ", literally: Muhammedflower) is a traditional Persian synonym for variety of pink rose flowering

shrub.

The equations are useful because they describe the physics of many thingsof academic and economic interest. They may be used to model theweather, ocean currents, water flow in a pipe and air flow around a wing.

The X equations in their full and simplified forms help with the design of aircraft and cars, the study of blood flow, the design of power stations, theanalysis of pollution, and many other things. Coupled with Maxwell'sequations they can be used to model and study magnetohydrodynamics.

The X equations are also of great interest in a purely mathematical sense.Somewhat surprisingly, given their wide range of practical uses,mathematicians have not yet proven that in three dimensions solutionsalways exist (existence), or that if they do exist, then they do not containany singularity (smoothness). These are called the X existence andsmoothness problems. The Clay Mathematics Institute has called this oneof the seven most important open problems in mathematics and hasoffered a US$1,000,000 prize for a solution or a counter-example.

________________(August 13, 1814 June 21, 1874) was a Swedish physicistand one of the founders of the science of spectroscopy.

� From 1861 onwards he paid special attention to the solar spectrum. Hiscombination of the spectroscope with photography for the study of thesolar system resulted in proving that the sun's atmosphere contains

hydrogen, among other elements (1862), and in 1868 he published hisgreat map of the normal solar spectrum in Recher ches sur le spectr esolair e, including detailed measurements of more than 1000 spectral lines,which long remained authoritative in questions of wave-length, althoughhis measurements were inexact by one part in 7000 or 8000, owing to themetre he used as a standard being slightly too short.

� He was elected a member of a number of learned societies, including theRoyal Swedish Academy of Sciences in 1850, the Royal Society in 1870 andthe Institut de France in 1873.

� X was a prodigious mental calculator. Reputedly, when asked how he hadbeen able to predict the trajectory of Ceres with such accuracy he replied,"I used logarithms." The questioner then wanted to know how he hadbeen able to look up so many numbers from the tables so quickly. "Lookthem up?" X responded. "Who needs to look them up? I just calculatethem in my head!

� In 1818 X, putting his calculation skills to practical use, carried out ageodesic survey of the state of Hanover, linking up with previous Danishsurveys. To aid in the survey, X invented the heliotrope, an instrument thatuses a mirror to reflect sunlight over great distances, to measurepositions.

� In 1831 X developed a fruitful collaboration with the physics professorWilhelm Weber, leading to new knowledge in magnetism (includingfinding a representation for the unit of magnetism in terms of mass,length and time) and the discovery of Kirchhoff's circuit laws in electricity.It was during this time that he formulated his namesake law.

� X was born in Faenza, part of the Papal States. He was left fatherless at anearly age and educated under the care of his uncle, a Camaldolese monk, whofirst entered young X into a Jesuit College in 1624 to study mathematics andphilosophy until 1626, when he sent X to Rome in 1627 to study science underthe Benedictine Benedetto Castelli, professor of mathematics at the Collegiodella Sapienza in Pisa.

� In 1632, shortly after the publication of Galileo's Dialogues of the New Science,X wrote to Galileo of reading it "with the delight [...] of one who, havingalready practiced all of geometry most diligently [...] and having studied

Ptolemy and seen almost everything of Tycho Brahe, Kepler andLongomontanus, finally, forced by the many congruences, came to adhere toCopernicus, and was a Galileian in profession and sect". (The Vaticancondemned Galileo in June 1633, and this was the only known occasion onwhich X openly declared himself to hold the Copernican view.)

� ... winds are produced by differences of air temperature, and hence density,between two regions of the earth

Xs Space Trilogy or Ransom Trilogy novels (also called the CosmicTrilogy) dealt with what X saw as the de-humanising trends incontemporary science fiction. The first book, Out  of  t he Si lent  Planet ,was apparently written following a conversation with his friendY about these trends; X agreed to write a "space travel" story and Y a"time travel" one. Ys story, "The Lost Road", a tale connecting

his mythology and the modern world, was never completed. X's maincharacter of Ransom is based in part on Y, a fact that Y himself alludesto in his Lett ers of  Y . The last novel in the Trilogy, That  Hid eous Str engt h, further develops the theme of nihilistic science threateningtraditional human values embodied in Arthurian legend (and makingreference to Y's fictional universe)
