Shiva. This process gave rise to another side effect - whenever the

1. What is being described here ?
 A standard X consists of approximately two million grain-of-sand-sized
discrete units, which are shaped to have as large a surface as
possible to optimize their effectiveness.
 The fundamental unit of X is a cell which is a tiny unit in it’s own
right, contributing energy and computing power to the entire X.
 The basic principle of X is holistic; each part contains the whole, as
it were.
 Each cell is constructed by using specialized bacteria-the bacteria
consume minute amount of specific metals, arrange themselves on
pre-tagged areas on the chip, then die, leaving a very small amount
of iron, or gold, or gallium arsenide. This method allows great
precision in determining the thickness of circuitry.

 Manufacturing process of Iron Man suit.

The supply was increased when, in an attempt to
intensify the deterrent effect of the death penalty,
theMurder Act 1752 allowed executed criminals to
be dissected—a fate generally viewed with horror.

“The English longbow yeomen(Archers) were directed
to practice frequently, and it has been stated that there
was often a practice held immediately after church
services in small hamlets, the only time during the

common target was the white skull of a X, and the
greatest skill could be illustrated by getting a ‘X’s Y’.”
