• The company was founded by Nick Woodman in 2002. He was
motivated while on a surfing trip to Australia in which he was hoping
to capture quality action photos, but could not because amateur
photographers could not get close enough or buy quality equipment
at reasonable prices. Founded as Woodman Labs, Inc, the company

of action cameras and, later, video editing software. It also developed
a quadcopter drone, Karma, released in October 2016.

realization, it has two possible states.
• A Y is a unit of quantum information. It is a two-state quantum-
mechanical system.

However, quantum mechanics allows the Y to be in
a superposition of both states at the same time.

• Following is a 1998 British neo-noir crime drama film written and
directed by X. It tells the story of a young man who follows strangers
around the streets of London and is drawn into a criminal underworld
when he fails to keep his distance.
• As X's debut feature, it was designed to be as inexpensive as possible
to make. Scenes were heavily rehearsed so that just one or two takes
were needed to economise on 16mm film stock, the production's
greatest expense, and for which X was paying from his salary. Unable
to afford expensive professional lighting equipment, he mostly used
available light. Along with writing, directing, and photographing the
film, X also helped in editing and production. The movie uses a
certain mode of story telling that X again used in his subsequent
films.

Kishore owed the canteen owner a certain amount and of course the
canteen owner always kept bugging him for the same. Of what
amount was Kishore's indebtedness?

9. Save The Lazy Smiley Face from Doom
The game has an underlying humanitarian plot by including a face that just
sits there making faces at you the whole time. While you're in the process
of clicking,it has a surprised, scared look on his face. He doesn't know
whether his ass is about to be grass or whether he'll be alive and kicking
when you let go of your mouse button. If he's still breathing, he'll go back
to smiling, but if not, he'll frown and his eyes will go from being two circular
dots to being two X's. Seeing that nobody planned a funeral for his dead
face, he just waits patiently for you to start a new game.

10. Straight Outta Wikipedia
X was a country in Southeast Europe during most of the 20th century. It came
into existence after World War I in 1918 under the name of the Kingdom of
Serbs, Croats and Slovenes by the merger of the provisional State of Slovenes,
Croats and Serbs (itself formed from territories of the former Austro-Hungarian
Empire) with the formerly independent Kingdom of Serbia. The Serbian royal
House of Karađorđević became the Y royal dynasty. X gained international
recognition on 13 July 1922 at the Conference of Ambassadors in Paris. The
country was named after the South Slavic peoples and constituted their first
union, following centuries in which the territories had been part of the Ottoman
Empire and Austria-Hungary.

X mascot, Octocat, is an anthropomorphized female cat with five
octopus-like arms. The character was created by graphic designer
Simon Oxley as clip art to sell on iStock, a website that enables
designers to market royalty-free digital images.
X became interested in Oxley's work after Y selected a bird that he
designed for their own logo. The illustration GitHub chose was a
character that Oxley had named Octopuss. Since GitHub wanted
Octopuss for their logo (a use that the iStock license disallows), they
negotiated with Oxley to buy exclusive rights to the image.

15. Back to the pavilion
In cricket, the term X refers to an opening batsman who is not
dismissed ("not out") when the team innings is closed.
The term is mainly used when the innings closes after all 10 wickets
have fallen; that is, the other 10 players in the team have all been
dismissed ("out"). It may also be used in situations where one or
more of these players retire out or are unable to bat through injury
or illness, and the remaining players are all dismissed normally. It is
not used, however, in any other situation where the innings closes
before all 10 wickets have fallen, such as when it is declared closed,
or when the team successfully chases a set run target to win the
match.

18. Unlike Ford
X met real estate mogul Y at a party thrown by Zampolli at the Times Square
nightclub the Kit Kat Club (now the Stephen Sondheim Theatre), in September
1998 at a New York Fashion Week. Y had been separated from Marla Maples
since May 1997, and attended the party with Norwegian cosmetics heiress Celina
Midelfart. When Midelfart went off to use the bathroom, Y approached Knauss
and asked for her number. She took his number instead, and subsequently they
attended the 1990s Greenwich Village hot spot Moomba, and began a
relationship. While they were dating, Y relocated her family to New York, where
her parents now live for most of the year. The couple gained attention after a
1999 interview on The Howard Stern Show. In 2000, she appeared with Y while
he campaigned for that year's Reform Party presidential nomination.

not be projected directly to consumers but rather masked under
another product under the same brand name, so that whenever
there is mention of that brand, people start associating it with its
main product.

It has been speculated that sailors who often went above and below deck might
have needed to keep one eye adjusted to the darkness below decks.The strong
sunlight while above deck on an oceangoing vessel could require minutes of
adaptation to the dim lighting below deck. With virtually no light sources below
deck, sailors would have to rely heavily upon their eyes to adjust. In the critical
moments of modifying the rigging, navigating, and especially during battle,
those minutes were too precious. This is the reason behind a popular culture
happening. What am I talking about ?

Syldavia is a fictional country in X, the comics series by European cartoonist Y. It is located in the Balkans
and has a rivalry with the fictional neighbouring country of Borduria. The Sprodj Atomic Research
Centre, seen in P and Q, is located in Syldavia. The sprawling complex is located in the Zymylpathian
Mountains of Syldavia (a play on the Carpathian Mountains), located close to rich deposits of uranium.
The Centre is secretive and has very tightly-guarded security, including a large number of security
checkpoints, helicopter surveillance, anti-aircraft artillery, and a squadron of fighter aircraft based at the
facility. Work at the centre, carried out by a large team of international physicists recruited by the
Syldavian government, involves research into protection from the effects of nuclear weapons, and is the
base for the Syldavian space program. The facility, which seems to be entirely self-sufficient, is
administered by the Director, Mr. Baxter. The Sprodj Centre has its own atomic pile for processing
uranium into plutonium, and has vast facilities for the research and construction of the rocket-ship
which carries R and his colleagues to the moon. The gargantuan complex is last seen at the end of
Explorers on the Moon, and is never again seen in the R series. In P, the Sprodj Atomic Research Centre
invites S to head its space division, and later R and T to be part of the moon mission. In U, Syldavia's
secret agents compete with archrival Bordurian agents to kidnap S and obtain the secrets to develop
sound-based weapons.

"Ramble On" is a song by English rock band Led Zeppelin from their
1969 album Led Zeppelin II. The song's lyrics were influenced by X by
Y. The opening line ("Leaves are falling all around") could be a
paraphrase of the opening line of Y’s poem "Namárië".

X references appear later in the song's lyrics:
Mine's a tale that can't be told
My freedom I hold dear
How years ago in days of old
When magic filled the air
'Twas in the darkest depths of ________
I met a girl so fair

In Germany, there is a Bavarian town called Herzogenaurach.
This town came into limelight after two international companies both
started in little Herzogenaurach, and their headquarters are still
located here today.
Though initially close, the companies soon had their differences and
eventually after a bitter spat, split up and an intense rivalry arose.
With time, Herzogenaurach became often called The Town of Bent
Necks. Why?

Hint
The rivalry between these two companies was so fierce that people
who wore ______ _____ would talk to only their counterparts and
similarly were the ____ fans.
So whenever a visitor from outside would visit, the first thing the
townsfolk would do was bend down their necks and stare at his ____
to see which _____ he wore to see which camp he belonged to!

This is the town where Adolf Dassler and his brother Rudolf started
the companies Adidas and Puma respectively.

When X was mixing the American Graffiti soundtrack, he used one-
letter-prefixes to number the reels of film and the dialog. On one
occasion during the production, X had dozed off while working on Y
on the side. Sound designer Walter Murch asked X for the second
dialogue of the second reel by saying _________. X woke up and
stated that it was a "great name" before going back to sleep. _______
was later incorporated into Y. X, Y and FITB.

X - George Lucas
Y - Star Wars
Blank - Reel two, Dialogue two which abbreviated to R2-D2, a name
which surfaced in the Lucas' film.

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. And, like the
earth, the ocean, and the upper air, it was also capable of being affected by Zeus'
thunderbolts.

The Great X-Y Crisis of 1894
• By the late 1800s, large cities all around the world -London and New
York in particular- were drowning in X-Y. A staggering total of over
100,000 X were _______________ around the city each day. On
average a X will produce between 15 and 35 pounds of Y per day, so
you can imagine the sheer scale of the problem.
• In 1894, The Times newspaper predicted… “In 50 years, every street
in London will be buried under nine feet of X-Y.” The terrible
situation was debated in 1898 at the world’s first international urban
planning conference in New York, but no solution could be found. It
seemed urban civilisation was doomed.
• However, necessity is the mother of invention, and the invention in
this case was that of Z.

• The word X is derived from the Sanskrit word Y. It was used for both
the insect (because of their enormous number) and the scarlet
resinous secretion it produces. This resin has been used for making
traditional and tribal bangles, and still used as sealing wax by
the India Post.
• The term Z is used for a liquid made of X dissolved in alcohol, or of
synthetic substances, that dries to form a hard protective coating for
wood, metal, etc. It is also used as wood finish, skin cosmetic and dye
for wool and silk in ancient India and neighbouring areas. X resin was
once imported in sizeable quantity into Europe from India along with
Eastern woods. (Images)

X?
X (3 December 1884 – 28 February 1963) was the first Y of India, in office from
1950 to 1962. An Indian political leader, and lawyer by training, X joined the
Indian National Congress during the Indian Independence Movement and
became a major leader from the region of Bihar. A supporter of Mahatma
Gandhi, X was imprisoned by British authorities during the Salt Satyagraha of
1931 and the Quit India movement of 1942. X served one term as President of
the Indian National Congress from 1934 to 1935. After the 1946 elections, Prasad
served as Minister of Food and Agriculture in the central government. Upon
independence in 1947, X was elected as President of the Constituent Assembly
of India, which prepared the Constitution of India and served as its provisional
parliament.

What logo?
“I had the idea of the 3D logo when I was swimming at Ipanema
Beach,” says Gelli “I was under the water, and when I came up, I saw
Dois Irmãos (Two Brothers Hill, above). And I said, we are in the
middle of sculpture city, we need to make a harmonizing logo. All of
the curves of the logo shapes come from the mountains in ___ __
______ — not only the main one Sugarloaf Mountain, but all of the
the mountains.”

Image follows
“This is an archetype. You can find this symbol in caves a million years
ago and in children’s schools today. This make the logo so strong
because it has a good meaning in all the cultures — with union and
force. People see a lot of different meanings in it that we didn’t
intentionally put there. The mayor of ___ said he could see ___ in it,”
Gelli says with a laugh, “What?”

• The name might be shocking at first since they have a coat of bright
orange paint for high visibility. One explanation for popularization of
the term, comes from the early film-based design of these, which
required the inside to be perfectly dark to prevent light leaks from
corrupting it.

two types of X-rays. Though he originally called the higher energy X-
ray something that would seem more sensible now; he later renamed
them since he realized that the highest energy X-rays produced in his
experiments might not be the highest energy X-ray possible. He
wanted to make certain that there was room to add more
discoveries.
• But later it turned out, the _____ type X-ray is the highest energy X-
ray an atom can emit.
