X is organized roughly every August. They practise in groups
weeks before the actual event. These groups are called
mandals and they go around the local areas. Pyramid
formation needs coordination and focus; the lowest layers
consist of the most number of people, preferably sturdy, while
the middle layer players need to pay attention to those below
as well as the others standing on their shoulders. The outer
layer individuals need to focus on maintaining balance. As
lighter people are needed higher up, the topmost layer usually
has a single child. What is X?

In the Oriya language, “X" means Friend of the Universe. Some scholars
have suggested that the word is a Sanskritization of a tribal word. They
have presented arguments concerning the X's tribal origins. Savaras the
early tribal inhabitants of Odisha were tree worshippers who called their
god Y from whom the word X may have been derived. However, the
verity of these statements depends upon a prior knowledge of the
verbal origins of the source languages, and so remains to some extent
speculative and possibly represent political agendas. Still, to this day, a
class of non brahmin priests known as "Daitapati" claiming origin from
original Savara devotee of X named Viśvabāsu perform some of the
most important rituals in the main temple at Z and are considered the
God's family. Id X?

One of the world's earliest X was a 1575 Roman Catholic church regulation which
forbade the use of X in any church in Mexico. In 1604, King James I of England
published an anti-X treatise, The Ottoman Sultan Murad IV prohibited X in his
empire in 1633. Pope Urban VII also prohibited X in the Church in 1590. The first
modern attempt at restricting X was imposed by the then German government in
every university, post office, military hospital, and Nazi Party office, under the
auspices of Karl Astel's Institute for X Hazards Research, created in 1941 under
orders from Adolf Hitler. In 1975, the US state of Minnesota enacted the
Minnesota Clean Indoor Air Act, making it the first state to restrict X in most
public spaces. At first, restaurants were required to have No X sections, and bars
were exempt from the Act. As of 1 October 2007, Minnesota enacted a ban on X
in all restaurants and bars statewide, called the Freedom to Breathe Act of 2007.

American mechanic Walter Hunt is regarded as the inventor of the X that
bears resemblance to those used today. The X included a clasp that covered
the point and kept it from opening, and a circular twist at the bend to act as a
spring and hold it in place. Charles Rowley (Birmingham, England)
independently patented a similar X in October 1849. Needing to settle a $15
debt with a friend, Hunt one day decided to invent something new in order to
pay off his friend. He used a piece of brass wire that was about 8 inches long
and made a coil in the center of the wire so it would open up when released.
After being issued U.S. patent #6,281 on April 10, 1849, Hunt sold the patent
to W. R. Grace and Company for $400 (roughly $10,000 in 2008 dollars). Using
that money, Hunt then paid the $15 owed to a friend and kept the remaining
amount of $385 for himself. Id X? (Pic in next slide)

The prayer is a self composed note, or one of many published X poems and prose.One
of the earliest examples of a X prayer is found in Book V, Chapter V of Vishnu Purana; it
is the prayer that Yasoda said. An abridged form of the prayer is:
May the lord of all beings protect you,
May the one who creates, preserves and dissolves life protect thee,
May Govinda guard thy head; Kesava, thy neck; Vishnu, thy belly;
the eternal Narayana, thy face, thine arms, thy mind, and faculties of sense;
May all negativity and fears, spirits malignant and unfriendly, flee thee;
May Rishikesa keep you safe in the sky; and Mahidhara, upon earth.

X was introduced by Lever Brothers in 1895 in England. Although X is
no longer produced in the US and UK, it is still being mass-produced
by Unilever in Cyprus for the UK, EU, US and Brazil markets, as well as
in Trinidad and Tobago for the Caribbean market. Unilever in Cyprus
and Trinidad and Tobago is manufacturing the Red X with a carbolic
fragrance, but it no longer contains phenol. In other markets,
including South and South East Asia, the global brand of X has been
updated to use red and other colours with ‘modern’ aromas. X is
today imported to the UK by Jupiter Imports, owned by Richard
Langham, former recording engineer at Abbey Road Studios. A print

X began its history in 2000 in Brazil and its tests in Argentina in 2004. The
consecration of this project today at Y, X was only possible because of the merger
of two Latin American countries, Brazil and Argentina, that for the first time ever
played in the same team. The Brazilian Heine Allemagne and the Argentinean
Pablo Silva in 2006 joined their efforts and technical qualities of their creations to
make the ideal tool that, in the year 2012, was approved by the International
Board for all federations in the world.
For Heine Allemagne, the feeling is of “mission accomplished.” It was 14 years of
perseverance and tests in more than 18 000 professional games. No scam is
sustained for so long. Today there is only one X in the world. Today it is only one
brand, X, name that is in essence all that the X really means. We founded the
company BRA.AR.

Popular belief is that X is emerged from “Y", the dance drama on the
life and activities of Lord Krishna created by Sri Manavedan Raja, the
Zamorin of Calicut (1585-1658 AD). Once Kottarakkara Thampuran,
the Raja of Kottarakkara who was attracted by Y requested the
Zamorin for the loan of a troupe of performers. Due to the political
rivalry between the two, Zamorin did not allow this. So Kottarakkara

was in Malayalam. By the end of 17th century, Z was presented to
the world with the title ‘X'. Just Id X?

sensation in 1996 as “X syndrome.
The earliest published use of the term “X syndrome" dates back to 2003 in

written under a pen name of columnist Robert D. Jones. In the conclusion of
the article, Jones wrote, "...should we be concerned about what our mind or
body may be trying to tell us by the aggravating imaginary emanations from
belts, pockets and even purses? Whether X is the result of physical nerve
damage, a mental health issue, or both, this growing phenomenon seems to
indicate that we may have crossed a line in this 'always on' society."

rock by the waterside at the Langelinie promenade in Copenhagen, Denmark. It is
1.25 metres (4.1 ft) tall and weighs 175 kilograms (385 lb). Based on the fairy tale of
the same name by Hans Christian Andersen, the small and unimposing statue is a
Copenhagen icon and has been a major tourist attraction since 1913. In recent
decades it has become a popular target for defacement by vandals and political
activists.The statue was commissioned in 1909 by Carl Jacobsen, son of the founder
of Carlsberg, who had been fascinated by a ballet about the fairytale in
Copenhagen's Royal Theatre and asked the ballerina, Ellen Price, to model for the
statue. The sculptor Edvard Eriksen created the bronze statue, which was unveiled
on August 23, 1913. The statue's head was modelled after Price, but as the ballerina
did not agree to model in the nude, the sculptor's wife, Eline Eriksen, was used for
the body. Eline Eriksen Pic in next slide..Id the Statue?
