committed by a terrorist organization without
carrying out any actual terrorism in an attempt to
determine whether a technique they are planning
to use will be successful. The X is part of the

configuration, X is the longest-running and
most-manufactured automobile of a single

metamorphosed swan, by Zeus.
46. 23. The R effect is the effect of the subjectivity
of perception on recollection, by which
observers of an event are able to produce
substantially different but equally plausible

principle in scientific understanding can be
found in an article by that name authored by
Karl G. Heide. Id R.
48. 24. Xs are served warm or cold. They have a
somewhat chewy texture with a crystallized
sugary exterior coating. Citric acid or lime

62. 31. Geometrically, X can be regarded as an
irregular icosagon. Characteristic is the 90°
rotational symmetry and chirality, hence the
absence of reflectional symmetry, and the
existence of two versions of X that are each
other's mirror image. The mirror-image forms
are often described as clockwise and anticlockwise, left-facing and right-facing and lefthand and right-hand. X was used as a good
luck charm by early aviators. Id X.

charismatic, traits he exploited to the full
whilst luring people do what he became
famous for. Though T spoke warmly of his
grandfather in interviews, later interviews

bully and a bigot who hated Catholics, Jews,
Blacks and Italians. A film was made on T’s life,
released 13 years after his death in 2002, with
Michael Reilly Burke in the title role. Id T(

67. 33. X was launched on January 5, 2005, by Jonathan
Huang, known online as "Chronarion", and a
pseudonymous partner called "Stillwaters".Though it
started as an independent project, X quickly outgrew
its original webhost, leading Huang to search for a
new host. On May 26, 2005, Angela Beesley, Vice
President of Wikia, Inc., announced that Wikia would
host X. X's content is licensed under the Creative

will produce a revival of X for the Fox network.
Development has began since fall of 2011 and the

two seasons was called "Rise and Shine", a lively
instrumental underscore accompanying the
protagonist on his drive home from work. X also
became the first primetime animated series to
last more than two seasons; this record wasn't
surpassed by another primetime animated TV
series until the third season of The Simpsons in
1992. At least two X-themed amusement parks
exist in the United States, one in Custer, South
Dakota and another in Valle, Arizona. Id X.
75. 37. This phrase emerged in the USA in the early part of the
20th century. Its introduction is widely attributed to Frederick
R. Barnard, who published a piece commending the
effectiveness of graphics in advertising with the title "One
look is _____ _ ________ _____", in Printer's Ink, December
1921. Barnard claimed the phrase's source to be oriental by
adding the text "so said a famous Japanese philosopher, and
he was right". Printer's Ink printed another form of the phrase
in March 1927, this time suggesting a Chinese origin:
"Chinese proverb. One ______ is ______ __ ___________
_______"
The arbitrary tenfold escalation and the switching from Japan
to China as the source lead many to smell a rat with this
derivation. The idea of evocation contained in the phrase also
appeared in Ivan S. Turgenev's novel Fathers and Sons. Id the
phrase.
79. 39. Opened in 1884, A was originally owned by
John Orrell, a minor land owner who was a

result of this, L was formed by Houlding , and
L occupied A, holding it to the present day. Id

85. 43. The XYs were women who worked at X Clubs. There were
different types of Ys, including the Door , Cigarette and Floor
Ys .To become a Y women were first carefully chosen and
selected from auditions. Then they underwent thorough and
strict training before officially becoming Ys. Ys were required
to be able to identify 143 brands of liquor and know how to
garnish 20 cocktail variations. Most dating or mingling with
customers was forbidden. Customers were also not allowed to
touch the Ys, and demerits were given if a Y's appearance was
not properly organized. The costume itself was conceived by
X's director of promotions, Victor Lownes and subsequently
refined by H. Originally the ears were taller and the ensemble
lacked the trademark bow tie, collar, and cuffs. Identify X, Y
and H.
93. 47. The origin of the word R is generally unclear.
In an 1824 essay about the word's
origin, Samuel Morewood, a British
etymologist, suggested that it might be from
the British slang term for "the best," as in
"having a R time. Morewood later suggested
another possibility that it was taken from the
last syllable of the Latin word for
sugar, sacchaR, an explanation that is
commonly heard today Some of the many
other names for R are Nelson's Blood, KillDevil and Demon Water. Spiced, Overproofed
and Premium are all varieties of R. Id R.

episodes. Id T.
97. 49. The early pioneers of X manufacturing were
Micronics, Mylex, DTK, Hauppauge, Orchid
Technology, Elitegroup, and a number of Taiwanbased manufacturers. A X, like a
backplane, provides the electrical connections by
which the other components of the system
communicate, but unlike a backplane, X also
connects the central processing unit and hosts
other subsystems and devices. Xs are generally
air cooled with heat sinks often mounted on
larger chips, such as the Northbridge, in modern
Xs. Insufficient or improper cooling can cause
damage to the internal components of the
computer and cause it to crash. Id X.
99. 50. C, as a term for a particular compartment in
a particular machine first appeared in 1914.
From about 1935 C also came to be used
informally to refer to another kind of
compartment, especially a high performance
one, and this is official terminology used in
something that finally reached India in 2011.
The term is most likely related to the sailing
term for the ___swain's station in a Royal
Navy ship, and later the location of the ship's
rudder controls. Id C.

artwork, most often without dialogue, that showcases a
character, group of characters, or significant event, published
within an issue, rather than made available by itself as a
poster.
• In professionally published fan magazines for films and
television series, a posed photograph of actors or actresses
from the subject matter, but which might also showcase
specific scenes from the subject matter in photograph form
(called stills) are occasionally called Ps. The label is very
casual, though, as these types of fan media are more
accurately described as posters.

being "beefcake".

105. 53.This annual publication dates back to 1964.
Publication was discontinued after the 1974
issue as an economising cut back in response
to the world recession from the oil shock. It
was resurrected 10 years later and has been
published regularly since then. The 2012 issue
featured Mario Sorrenti working in Corsica. It
also featured Lara Stone, Natasha Polly and
Rinko Kikuchi among others. Id the

111. 56. Rommy Revson patented the design of X in
the US in 1994. Xs are generally used, aside
from their primary purpose, for decorating
vases, doorknobs and bottles, and, also, to
hold card decks together. In constructing a X,
sewing machines and safety pins need to be
used. Id X.
113. 57. In the United States, Xs have a size of 75 cm
across opposite flats of the red octagon, with
a 20mm white border. The white uppercase

caused by the theft of a X could result in
manslaughter charges against the

115. 58. X was little understood during his lifetime. In fact, he
received scanty attention and was considered
incomprehensible. Readers including his contemporary
literary critics also alleged about his style and diction. During
his lifetime, X published only 269 poems in different journals
and magazines of which 162 were collected in 7
anthologies, from Jhara Palak to Bela Obela Kalbela. Variously
branded at different times, and popularly known as a
modernist of the Yeatsian-Poundian-Eliotesque school, X has
been termed the truest poet by Annadashankar Roy. Sense of
time and history is an unmistakable element that has shaped
X's poetic world to a great extent. His accidental death in 1954
has often been seen since as an attempt at suicide. Id X.
