lips and even the jaw,” Ali Al Mazrouei, the son of a top Emirati

when the X comes it’s like, ‘Oh look at how big is that head is.
It has big lips, a big nose.’”

fend off any regrets for not participating sooner in the Internet
business boom during that time.
⊙In 1994, X left his employment as vice-president of D. E. Shaw
& Co., a Wall Street firm, and moved to Seattle, Washington.
He began to work on a business plan for what would
eventually become Y.
⊙On July 5, 1994, X initially incorporated the company with the
name Cadabra, Inc. X changed the name to Y, Inc. a few
months later, after a lawyer misheard its original name as
"cadaver".
⊙In September 1994, X purchased the URL Relentless.com and
briefly considered naming his online store Relentless, but
friends told him the name sounded a bit sinister. The domain

⊙From Eros and X came the race of birds In
Greek mythology, X, according to Hesiod, was
the first thing to exist: "at first X came to be" (or
was) "but next" (possibly out of X) came Gaia,
Tartarus, and Eros (elsewhere the son of
Aphrodite).
⊙Unambiguously born "from X" were Erebus
(Darkness) and Nyx (Night). The Greek word
"X", a neuter noun, means "yawning" or "gap",
but what, if anything, was located on either side
of this chasm is unclear.
⊙For Hesiod, X, like Tartarus, though
personified enough to have borne children, was
also a place, far away, underground and
"gloomy", beyond which lived the Titans.

⊙Xs are neoplasms that arise from cells of the hormonal and
nervous systems. Many are benign, while some are malignant.
⊙They most commonly occur in the intestine, where they are
often called carcinoid tumors, but they are also found in the
pancreas, lung and the rest of the body.
⊙Although there are many kinds of Xs, they are treated as a
group of tissue because the cells of these neoplasms share
common features, such as looking similar, having special
secretory granules, and often producing biogenic amines and
polypeptide hormones.

⊙"Gloomy Sunday", is a song composed by Hungarian pianist
and composer Rezső Seress and published in 1933.
⊙Poet László Jávor wrote his own lyrics to the song, titled
Szomorú vasárnap (Sad Sunday).
⊙The original musical composition was a piano melody in C-
minor, with the lyrics being sung over it. Seress wrote the
song at the time of the Great Depression and increasing
fascist influence in the writer's native Hungary.
⊙There have been several urban legends regarding the song
over the years. However, most of these claims are
unsubstantiated. The BBC banned Billie Holiday's version of
the song from being broadcast, as being detrimental to
wartime morale, but allowed performances of instrumental
versions.
⊙However, there is little evidence of any other radio bans; the
BBC's ban was lifted only in 2002.
