X was a prison overlooking the city of Medellin, in Colombia. The prison was
built to specifications ordered by Medellin Cartel leader Pablo Escobar, under
a 1991 agreement with the Colombian government in which Escobar would
surrender to authorities and serves a maximum term of five years, and the
Colombian government would not extradite him to the United States. In
addition to the facility being built to Escobar's specifications, Escobar was
also given the right to choose who would guard him, and it was believed he
chose guards loyal only to him. Moreover, the prison was believed to have
been designed more to keep out Escobar's enemies and protect him from
assassination attempts, than to keep Escobar in.
The finished prison was often called "Hotel Escobar" or "Club Medellin",
because of its amenities. X featured a football field, giant doll house,
bar, Jacuzzi, and waterfall. Escobar also had a telescope installed that allowed
him to look down onto the city of Medellin to his daughter's residence while
talking on the phone with her.

James Warren "Jim" Jones (May 13, 1931 – November 18, 1978) was an American cult

Jones was born in a rural area of Crete, Indiana, to James Thurman Jones (1887–1951),
a World War I veteran, and Lynetta Putnam (1902–1977). Lynetta reportedly believed
she had given birth to a messiah. He was of Irish and Welsh descent. Jones later claimed

Wisden gives in his obituary: "One of the most extraordinary men ever to play Test cricket."
But then, as the big yellow book puts it, "statistics are absurd for such a man.“
Wisden is right, the traditional measures aren't much use. A few other numbers, the kind
even Wisden's statisticians don't tally, may help make his case. The first would be two, which
was the number of times Crisp climbed Mount Kilimanjaro. The next would be three, which
is both the number of books he wrote, and the number of occasions on which he was busted
down in rank and then re-promoted while he was serving in the British Army. Then there
are six, which is the total number of tanks he had shot out or blown up underneath him
while serving in North Africa, and 29, which is the number of days in which all those tanks
were lost; 24 is the number of years he lived after being diagnosed with terminal cancer.
Bob Crisp was a fast bowler, who had the knack of making the ball bounce steeply and,
when the weather suited, swing both ways. His 20 Test match wickets cost 37 runs each. The
best of them were the five for 99 he took against England at Old Trafford, including Wally
Hammond, clean bowled when well-set on 29.

The earliest recorded reference to X is found
in Someshvara Chalukya's classic Manasollasa (1135 AD).
Originally X was used as a supporting exercise for
wrestlers. Although known to have been practiced in
medieval Maharashtra and Hyderabad, the sport didn't
become visible in practice and well recorded until the 18th
century when it was revived by Balambhatdada Deodhar,
the fitness instructor of Peshwa Baji Rao II during the reign
of the Peshwas. His student Balambhattdada Deodhar
realized that only major grips can be developed with a pole
and thus used cane instead. Today it is used more often as
a performance art rather than a method of training.
