X Group is a British multinational venture capital conglomerate founded in
February 1970. X Group's date of incorporation is listed as 1989 by the
Companies House, which class it as a holding company; however, X's business
and trading activities date back to the 1970s.
The name "X" arose in 1970 when the founders formed a record shop, first by
mail order and in 1971 with a physical store. They considered themselves Xs in
business.
One of the co-founders has described a particular letter in the logo as an
expensive tick, representing the X seal of approval.

It was believed among the players of a certain multiplayer game that they
couldn't win the game by doing a certain something, which made it highly
frustrating and extended to longer playtime.
However, recently the creators shocked the community by tweeting that
they could indeed win the game that way.
The game being talked about is one of the most competitive multiplayer
games and gained popularity just a few years after its release in the 1980s
and is relevant to this day.

The Shamrao Vithal Co-op. Bank Ltd. is a scheduled bank in India that was
established in 1906.
Its main goals when it was established were to encourage saving, help the
less fortunate people of the community with their economic endeavours,
and raise money to help deserving members.
Despite having a legacy of 116 years, the bank made news recently for all
the wrong reasons, a déjà vu of sorts as something similar happened around
half a decade ago, involving another entity.
Why was the bank in news? What similar thing happened half a decade ago?

Anonymous author Rootport released a first-of-its-kind manga titled
Cyberpunk: Peach John recently.
Unlike many manga publications, which take about a year to complete, he
completed this work in just six weeks.
However, he did face problems due to the technical restrictions involved.
As a result, he was forced to give his characters distinctive features (such
as pink hair, dog ears or a red kimono) to help readers recognise characters
in new poses or with different facial expressions.

In collaboration with Heretic Parfum, Gwyneth Paltrow launched a $75
scented candle in 2020.
The official site describes it, "With a funny, gorgeous, sexy, and beautifully
unexpected scent, this candle is made with geranium, citrusy bergamot,
and cedar absolutes juxtaposed with Damask rose and ambrette seed to
put us in mind of fantasy, seduction, and a sophisticated warmth."
A review on Amazon goes: "Smelled like rotten fish mixed with moldy bread.
Reminds me of my first true love."

X is a line of apparel released by the company Y to the public in the late 20th
century.
Designed by Peter Moore and Bruce Kilgore, X has been associated with many
riots, assaults, robberies, and murders. One such incident is the murder of a 15-
year-old high school student who was choked to death by one of his peers for a
unit of X in 1989. The Principal of the High School in Detroit mentioned that
clothing-related violence had reached a point where he felt it was necessary to
ban certain clothing items, including X, from school grounds. This ban was the
first of many dress codes implemented in schools after a wave of robberies,
beatings, and shootings over possession of X and other items of clothing.

X has sued a dog toy company called VIP Products for violating its trademark.
The "Bad Spaniels Silly Squeaker" toy resembles X's products but changed
the labels of the original product to “43% POO BY VOL.” and “100% SMELLY,”
a reference to dog excrement.
X argued in court that this could confuse consumers about who made the
product and could tarnish the company's reputation. VIP Products, however,
said the toy is a parody, and entitled to free speech protection.

"Well, I myself admire ____ for his charisma, action, personality, humility.....
etc..etc..etc... But is it wrong to expect a little sense out of a movie? The only
thing I found admirable was using the principle of X (heard about AMWAY?)
as a public help network, which too was never practically shown as activism,
but rather being spread as word of mouth".
Y is a social media hero, with a Facebook page filled with inspirational video
messages and countless ‘likes’. Now behind bars, he's accused of swindling
Rs 3,700 crores from 7 lakh-odd people through one of the biggest internet
scams related to X in recent times.
ID the principle X and Y.

Buffett sat down to have a meeting with X in his office in Omaha in 2010.
Buffett, then 80, walked away impressed with the artist 40 years his junior: “X
is teaching in a lot bigger classroom than I’ll ever teach in. For a young
person growing up, he’s the guy to learn from.”
X's steadily growing kingdom is expansive, encompassing liquor, art, real
estate (homes in Los Angeles, the Hamptons, Tribeca) and stakes in deep tech
companies.
ID X, who gave the blueprint for future generation artists with the ambitions
to create lasting wealth.
