their fellows that a charge had been set. Also thhe
first cannons developed were discharged, shot or
exploded by placing a flaming torch to a small hole
packed with gunpowder and leading to the main
powder charge. This caused the main charge to
explode, propelling the cannon ball to the
enemy, or sometimes, blowing up the cannon and
all standing nearby. Hence, X was both a command
to the torch man, and a warning to all around.

36. Where speed was seen as essential to carrying out the
mission of home defence against enemy bombers, this
aircraft's thin cross-section elliptical wing allowed it a higher
top speed than several contemporary fighters, including
the Hawker Hurricane.
During the Battle of Britain, this aircraft was perceived by
the public as the RAF fighter, though the more numerous
Hawker Hurricane shouldered a greater proportion of the
burden against the Luftwaffe.
Wedding of Prince William and Catherine Middleton (2011),
after the wedding, there was a flyover by this plane, along
with a Hawker Hurricane, and an Avro Lancaster.
38. The officer in command of the submarine service branch of the Pakistan Navy
and the junior officers and commander of _____ had objected to the plan as it
was proposed by the army and naval officers during the briefing session. It was
difficult to sustain such naval operations in a distant area of Bay of Bengal, in
the total absence of repair, logistics and recreational facilities in the vicinity. At
this time, submarine repair facilities were totally absent at Chittagong — the
only Pakistani sea port in the east during this period. To her earlier
commanders, the mission was considered highly dangerous and impossible to
achieve by sending an obsolete submarine behind enemy lines. The
commanders at NHQ overruled the objections, and instead planned a
reconnaissance operation, which led to launching of the submarine operations
in the eastern theater.
What happened due to this negligence ?
39. • Sinking of the Pakistan navy submarine PNS
Ghazi.

44. • In 1956, the German-American physicist Friedwardt Winterberg proposed
a test of general relativity (for time slowing in a strong gravitational field)
using accurate atomic clocks placed in orbit inside artificial satellites.
Without the use of general relativity to correct for time running more
quickly by 38 microseconds per day in orbit, this system would suffer gross
malfunction. Additional inspiration for it came when the Soviet Union
launched the first man-made satellite, Sputnik, in 1957. Two American
physicists, William Guier and George Weiffenbach, at Johns
Hopkins's Applied Physics Laboratory (APL), decided to monitor Sputnik's
radio transmissions. Within hours they realized that, because of
the Doppler effect, they could pinpoint where the satellite was along its
orbit. The Director of the APL gave them access to their UNIVAC to do the
heavy calculations required. Initially, the highest quality signal was
reserved for military use, and the signal available for civilian use was
intentionally degraded (Selective Availability). This changed with
President Bill Clinton ordering Selective Availability to be turned off at
midnight May 1, 2000, improving the precision of civilian _____from 100
meters (330 ft) to 20 meters (66 ft).

equipment that Pakistan will be showing in their annual
March 23 Pakistan day parade. ______ after being
thoroughly interrogated was then forced by the ISI to send
false information to his R&AW handlers in India. This
process continued and many more Indian spies in Pakistan
were flushed out, such as Roop Lal.
48. • It commenced on Tuesday, 6 June 1944 (D-Day), beginning at
6:30 am British Double Summer Time (GMT+2). In planning, as for
most Allied operations, the term D-Day was used for the day of the
actual landing, which was dependent on final approval. The
operation, planned by a team under Lieutenant-General Frederick
Morgan, was the largest amphibious invasion in world history and
was executed by land, sea and air elements under direct AngloAmerican command with over 160,000 soldiers landing on 6 June
1944: 73,000 Americans, 61,715 British and 21,400 Canadians. Just
prior to the invasion, General Eisenhower transmitted a nowhistoric message to all members of the Allied Expeditionary Force. It
read, in part, "You are about to embark upon the great
crusade, toward which we have striven these many months."

• A government treaty recognizing the neutrality of the agency and
allowing it to provide aid in a war zone
• The former proposal led to the establishment of
the _______ in Geneva. The latter led to the First of these
Conventions. For both of these accomplishments, Henry Dunant
became corecipient of the first Nobel Peace Prize in 1901.

basic, wartime rights of prisoners (civil and military); established
protections for the wounded; and established protections for
the civilians in and around a war-zone
56. • Al-Qaeda had previously attempted a similar but less publicized attack on
the U.S. Navy destroyer USS The Sullivans while in port at Aden on 3
January 2000, as a part of the 2000 millennium attack plots.
• Planning for the attack was discussed at the Kuala Lumpur al-Qaeda
Summit shortly after the attempt, which was held from 5 to 8 January
2000. Along with other plotters, it was attended by future 11 September
hijacker Khalid al-Mihdhar, who then traveled to San Diego where he
established a close relationship with "9/11 imam" Anwar al-Awlaki, who
was later linked to numerous plots and attacks, including the Fort Hood
shootings and the "underwear bomber" of 2009 and put on a targeted
killing list by President Obama as a terrorist threat. On 14 March 2007, a
federal judge in the United States, Robert G. Doumar, ruled that
the Sudanese government was liable for the bombing.
• The ruling was issued in response to a lawsuit filed against the Sudanese
government by relatives of the victims, who claim that al-Qaeda could not
have carried out the attacks without the support of Sudanese officials.
