would never win the FA Cup. Despite reaching six FA Cup semi finals between 1896 and 1903, including three finals, they never managed to win the trophy. The next time they reached the final was in 1946 against Charlton
Athletic. In the buildup to the final, a representative from the club went to meet with Gypsies in an attempt to lift the curse. During the match, with the score tied at 1-1, something happened. It has since been seen by fans of the
club as the moment the curse was lifted. Derby County went on to win the match 4-1.

131. Poruvazhy Peruviruthy Malanada, popularly known as Malanada is the only X Temple in South India. Malanada - There is a
Temple (Nada) on the Hill (Mala). Unlike other temples, there is no deity, nor a ‘Sreekovil’ as such in Malanada. In place of
Sreekovil and deity we could see only a raised platform called ‘Althara’ or ‘Mandapam’. In the absence of an idol, devotees
submit themselves to a divine power (of their imagination/understanding) through a mental process of ‘Sankalpam’. The
concept is unique in Indian history in as much as ‘X’, the Y King known for his ‘Thamoguna’ driven thoughts and actions, he
myth unravels: as part of his efforts to trace out Z, X traversed the forests in the south and reached Malanada hill. By that time
he was much tired and went to a nearby house on the north west of Malanada and asked for drinking water. It was
Kaduthamsserry Kottaram, where Malanada Appoppan, the priest and ruler of the land was staying. An elderly woman gave
him toddy which was customary at that time as a mark of respect. The king enjoyed the drink, but realized after seeing the
‘Kurathali’ worn by the woman that she belonged to an untouchable lower cast by name ‘W’. The king consoled himself and
appreciated the divinity of the place and its people who possessed supernatural powers (Siddha). Thereafter, in furtherance of
his ‘Rajadharma’, the king sat on the hill and worshipped Lord Siva, praying for the welfare of his people (the prajas). As an
act of charity he gave away 100s of acres of agricultural land and paddy fields as freehold to the ‘Devasthanam’. Even now the

132. Poruvazhy Peruviruthy Malanada, popularly known as Malanada is the only X Temple in South India. Malanada -
There is a Temple (Nada) on the Hill (Mala). Unlike other temples, there is no deity, nor a ‘Sreekovil’ as such in
Malanada. In place of Sreekovil and deity we could see only a raised platform called ‘Althara’ or ‘Mandapam’. In
the absence of an idol, devotees submit themselves to a divine power (of their imagination/understanding) through
a mental process of ‘Sankalpam’. The concept is unique in Indian history in as much as ‘X’, the Y King known for
his ‘Thamoguna’ driven thoughts and actions, he myth unravels: as part of his efforts to trace out Z, X traversed the
forests in the south and reached Malanada hill. By that time he was much tired and went to a nearby house on the
north west of Malanada and asked for drinking water. It was Kaduthamsserry Kottaram, where Malanada
Appoppan, the priest and ruler of the land was staying. An elderly woman gave him toddy which was customary at
that time as a mark of respect. The king enjoyed the drink, but realized after seeing the ‘Kurathali’ worn by the
woman that she belonged to an untouchable lower cast by name ‘W’. The king consoled himself and appreciated
the divinity of the place and its people who possessed supernatural powers (Siddha). Thereafter, in furtherance of
his ‘Rajadharma’, the king sat on the hill and worshipped Lord Siva, praying for the welfare of his people (the
prajas). As an act of charity he gave away 100s of acres of agricultural land and paddy fields as freehold to the
‘Devasthanam’. Even now the land tax of the above property is being levied in the name of ‘X’.

146. According to Islamic tradition, a Muslim may not be givem any of the 99 names of Allah in the exactly same form because of the belief that Allah is almight and no human
being is his equivalent
As a result Muslims are allowed to use the 99 names of Allah for themselves, provided they avoid ‘X’ before the names.However the names can be prefixed with ‘Y’,meaning
“servant/worshipper” and is common part of Muslim names.
Also another faith considers Z to be the 100th and the greatest name of Allah and is the root word for many symbols and names in the faith.

predicted mass air attacks on major cities. Although 2.45 million copies were printed, and although the Blitz did in fact take place, the poster was hardly ever publicly displayed and was little known until a
copy was rediscovered in 2000 at Barter Books, a bookshop in Alnwick. It has since been re-issued by a number of private companies, and has been used as the decorative theme for a range of products.X?
