• “X" is a widely quoted statement
by German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche. It first appears
in Nietzsche's 1882 collection The Gay Science. However, it
is most famously associated with Nietzsche's classic
work thus spoke zarathustra which is most responsible for
making the phrase popular.
• The cover of the April 8, 1966 edition of Time and the
accompanying article concerned a movement in American
theology that arose in the 1960s known as the “Y".
Although theologians since Nietzsche had occasionally used
the phrase “X" to reflect increasing atheistism, the concept
rose to prominence in the late 1950s and 1960s, before
waning again.[15] The main proponents of
this theology included the Christian theologians Gabriel
Vahanian, Paul van Buren, William Hamilton, John
Robinson, Thomas J. J. Altizer and John D. Caputo, and
the rabbi Richard L. Rubenstein.

22. QUES 10
• X was an admirer of the paintings of Jean-Auguste-
Dominique Ingres and made a series of photographs,
inspired by Ingres's languorous nudes, of the model Kiki
in a turban. Painting the the holes of Y onto the
photographic print and then rephotographing the print, X
altered what was originally a classical nude. He also
added the title Le Violon d'Ingres, a French idiom that
means "hobby." The transformation of Kiki's body into a Y
with the crude addition of a few brushstrokes makes this
a humorous image, but her armless form is also
disturbing to contemplate. The title seems to suggest
that, while playing the violin was Ingres's hobby, toying
with Kiki was a pastime of X. The picture maintains a
tension between objectification and appreciation of the
female form.

• X= Man Ray

equipment, pitches and grounds are a luxury. Informal cricket games are
played widely by children and young adults across the cricket-playing world,

locations to find locals playing the games in afternoons and evenings.
Considerable effort is required on behalf of the bowlers to extract speed and
bounce OF A REGULAR CRICKET BALL, as well as control of the length and
direction. Playing with a conventional cricket ball requires a strongercricket
bat, and poses a constant danger to players and passers-by who maybe
struck and severely injured by the ball.
• In informal games, either a rubber ball or tennis ball is used as an
alternative. The rubber ball is not suitable for the variety of surfaces made
use of in informal games; it is too bouncy on cement and concrete and
barely bounces at all on grass or soil. An unmodified tennis ball is light, but it
is incapable of gaining sufficient speed. By covering a tennis ball with ----------
-----, the ball's weight and traction are increased, which in turn leads to
greater bounce and speed. IT can also be used to mimic a seaming cricket
ball by adding an extra layer of tape around the circumference like a seam,
the sides can be roughened to mimic conventional swing of a cricket ball.it is
thus a sound compromise between safety and sincerity to the sport.
