• A special ODI between NZ and WI on 3rd April, Georgetown. This match
is well known for something which has never happened in ODI history till
date.
“On the slowest imaginable pitch, New Zealand started at breakneck speed:
they were 90 for three after only 13.2 overs. Rather than curb their scoring-
rate and save wickets, they charged on - to apparent disaster, all out for 158
with 14 overs unused.
Simmons was later fined for intimidatory appealing. West Indies needed only
3.2 an over, but again slow-medium New Zealand bowling, backed by inspired
fielding, steadily cut through the batting. Even so, Holder looked capable of
steering them through. But with only five runs needed and one over left,
Cairns bowled Walsh to complete an astonishing four-run victory.”

• X is a wireless technology that transmits data
using visible light communication(VLC). High
speed data Transfer at 1Gbps could be achieved
with this technology. It basically works like an
advanced form of Morse Code like an LED
flickering at extreme speeds which could be used
to transmit in Binary code. Since this technology
uses light, nobody can use your data secretly.

very similar names and objective. Y is a newer version of X.

Currently ranked second in the world, Saina is one of
India's biggest sporting icons. She reflects the aspirations
of millions of Indians and has a huge following of fans
cutting across demographics. That same support,
however, is missing when she plays abroad. Star Sports
came up with a new initiative to support Indian badminton
ace Saina Nehwal in the BWF World Superseries finals in
Dubai last December. The broadcaster is recruiting 20
passionate Indian fans to join the 'X Y', an ensemble of
Saina supporters, who will be flown to Dubai to cheer on
the shuttler.

"Some farmers said that X also were damaging
their crops in fields in hilly areas", Goa's
Agriculture Minister Ramesh Tawadkar was
quoted by the media. Mr. Tawadkar was
proposing that X be reclassified as vermin
making them easy to cull. Recently Goa
Minister for Environment and Forests
Rajendra Arlekar has categorically ruled out
the possibility of X, and the Indian bison, the
Goa state animal, being added to a list of
vermin. Identify X.

One day, the Mushroom Kingdom was invaded by the
Koopa, a tribe of turtles capable of using powerful dark
magic. Their magic was used to transform all the
Mushroom People into inanimate objects such as rocks,
bricks, and even horsetail plants, thus spelling the
kingdom's downfall. Only the daughter of the Mushroom
King, Princess Toadstool, can undo the spell and restore
her people back to life, but she is being held captive by
King Koopa himself. ______ hears of the princess's plight,
and sets out on a quest to topple the Turtle Tribe and
save the once-peaceful kingdom.

Set in a dystopian future modelled after George Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four, Scott's
advertisement used its heroine (portrayed by English athlete Anya Major) to represent the coming

computer) as a means of saving humanity from "conformity" (Big Brother), an allusion to IBM, at
that time the dominant force in computing. Apple spent over $1M over this.
