shoe company together in their mother's laundry room. Their
business boomed after Dassler shoes adorned the feet of gold-medal-
winning Olympians in the 1930s. But as their sales spiked, so did the
tension between the two brothers.
• After an Allied bomb attack, Adolf and his wife took cover in a bomb
shelter already occupied by Rudolf and his family. "The dirty bastards
are back again," Adolf said, apparently referring to the planes, but
Rudolf thought the comment was an attack against his family.

was in the process of developing a business plan for a Malaysia-based IT firm trying his luck for
certification of popularity for online advertisements of various websites. Ram Niwas Pal was
wanted in nine cases in Mumbai, Andhra Pradesh, Haryana and Madhya Pradesh.
• On November 26, the Crime Branch arrested Ram Niwas Pal's brother Ram Sumiran Pal (37). He
told police that his elder brother and an associate Manoj Kumar Sharma were running the online
survey marketing company called X, which had been registered in Singapore.
• They had reportedly created several companies and sold web subscriptions for Rs 11,000 each. In
return, the investors were asked to fill survey forms for certain multinational firms. They were
promised an annual payment of Rs 52,000.
• Explaining the process, police said, members who paid Rs 11,000 would get a password to open
an account on the company site. At least two survey forms were displayed to each member. For
completing these, members would get more than Rs 4,000 per month. Apart fom that, each
member would get Rs 1,000 as commission for referring others. However, the surveys were later
found to be fake.
66. 9. X and Y, please?
X doctrine asserts:
• Continuous efforts to achieve stable and predictable process results (e.g.
by reducing process variation) are of vital importance to business success.
• Manufacturing and business processes have characteristics that can be
defined, measured, analyzed, improved, and controlled.
• Achieving sustained quality improvement requires commitment from the
entire organization, particularly from top-level management.
X is a set of techniques and tools for process improvement. It was introduced
by engineer Bill Smith while working at Y in 1986.
68. 10.
• In 2008, New Zealand’s family court ordered a nine-year-old girl,
whose parents had called her Talula Does The Hula From Hawaii,

Judge Rob Murfitt said it was embarrassing and ‘makes a fool of the
child’. He also criticised parents who gave their children bizarre
names, citing examples such as ‘Number 16 Bus Shelter’, ‘Midnight
Chardonnay’ and twins called ‘X’ & ‘Y’.
70. 11.
• The X Foundation , formerly known as the Y Foundation , is a United
States non profit organization that provides support for people

• Z: Liestrong
• People struck off the letter ‘V’ from the band.
72. 12.
• In April-May 2015, due to outbreak of Avian Flu, United states
suffered an “egg shortage”. Some egg-dependent companies started
importing eggs from overseas or looking to egg alternatives.
• Meanwhile, X, world’s largest of its kind, which was mired in its worst
slump in more than a decade announced a new plan to revive its
domestic sales. The new plan worsened the egg crisis of United
States.
• “It’s going to make it harder for everyone,” Darren Tristano, an
executive vice president at research firm Technomic, told Bloomberg.
“It’s going to lift prices across a lot of those products that use eggs.”
• Give me X and it’s new strategy.
73. X- McDonalds
• McDonalds announced its plan to sell breakfast sandwiches (Egg
McMuffin) throughout the day.

one of the major components being that the X’s Y would become "the
official ______ of the NFL" with coaches and players using Y on the side
lines during games.
But X and the league ran into a problem during week one of the season
when at least two television announcers mistakenly referred to the Y as Z
giving a huge rival some unexpected exposure.
• The biggest blunder for the league came during the nationally televised
Monday Night Football game when ESPN's Trent Dilfer joked about how
long it took Cardinals assistant head coach Tom Moore to "learn how to use
the Z to scroll through the pictures."
76. 14.
• Recently a $7.2 billion pharmaceutical company changed its name
from 'X Pharmaceuticals' to ‘Ionis Pharmaceuticals’ and thereby
changing the ticker symbol from 'X' to 'IONS'. The former name was
derived from 'X', the Egyptian goddess of health, marriage, and
wisdom. In a similar manner 'X Mobile Wallet' which was started by
AT&T, T-Mobile and Verizon changed its name in September 2014 to
JVL Ventures LLC and the business name as Softcard which was later
acquired by Google and integrated into Google wallet. Identify X.
77.
78. 15.
• In July 2015, Motor Trend ran an article that provided a few specifications
for X’s proposed electric vehicle: it will have 15 percent higher specific
energy than a Tesla Model S, it utilizes a multi cell solution where both
individual cells and groups of cells can be replaced, and it will have a
modular design for improved mass-production methods.
