It was being noticed that the forest situated on the Budharaja
hillock in the town of Sambalpur has been turning grey due to the
increased smuggling for timber.
Earlier, it was the Budharaja Suraksha Samiti which was working
single-handedly to protect the trees. However, the outcome was
never fruitful. So, now the organization decided to join in hundreds
of young women who are basically college students to participate
in this initiative and bring about a difference.
With Y holding an importance in the lives of Indians, an initiative
was devised around this occasion. In one of the most novel and
innovative ways, these women decided to do X. The essence of
the festival can be depicted clearly with such an act..
The forest is covered over 126 acres of land and has been host to
some of the major events in history. These include the battle
fought by Veer Surendra Sai (who was a freedom fighter) against
the British.

5. Trademark for what???
X, has filed applications to "trademark the two names under various product
categories—from tobacco, rugs and carpets to automobiles, retailing, leather
goods and baby foods.It has also filed trademark applications for firearms,
ammunition and explosives, medical instruments, promotional materials, cards,
carrybags, furniture, kitchen utensils, clothing, and dozens of other products"
The objective behind these applications is to safeguard the potential misuse of
these immensely popular characters who rose to the hall of fame with the 2003
release of Y . Trademark lawyer Neil Mason opines that the applications
suggest that the company might be looking at licensing both the names for
businesses. “Maybe eventually they are looking at merchandising,” he said.
“These names are generally associated well with couple of characters and they
probably want to utilize them.” However, the production house denied any
immediate plans of licensing and merchandising.
It is interesting to note that the Trademark office has already raised objections
against the applications as similar trademarks such as Circuit House and Circuit
World already exist. Similarly, Murphy India Ltd (which was amalgamated with
Ceat Ltd) holds the trademark registration for the name Z ,under radio receiving
sets, record players, amplifiers and television gadgets among others.

52.Identify X
Somnium (The Dream) was written by X in 1611. Part of the purpose of
 Somnium was to describe what practicing astronomy would be like
 from the perspective of another planet, to show the feasibility of a non-
 geocentric system. The manuscript, which disappeared after changing
 hands several times, described a fantastic trip to the moon; it was part
 allegory, part autobiography, and part treatise on interplanetary travel
 (and is sometimes described as the first work of science fiction). Years
 later, a distorted version of the story may have instigated the witchcraft
 trial against his mother, as the mother of the narrator consults a demon
 to learn the means of space travel. Following her eventual acquittal, X
 composed 223 footnotes to the story—several times longer than the
 actual text—which explained the allegorical aspects as well as the
 considerable scientific content (particularly regarding lunar
 geography) hidden within the text.

In an obvious dig at the opposition, Pakistan Muslim League-N (PML-N), he said: "Our situation is such that we can only say, ‘X ____ ___ Y ___ ____." Punjab law minister and PML-N stalwart Rana Sanaullah was quick to latch on to the opportunity. "What a pity that the PPP leader has termed the entire party as X," he said, adding that "this X is not getting a bad name because of Y but because of her own actions".

Earlier, it was the Budharaja Suraksha Samiti which was working single-handedly to protect the trees. However, the outcome was never fruitful. So, now the organization decided to join in hundreds of young women who are basically college students to participate in this initiative and bring about a difference. With Y holding an importance in the lives of Indians, an initiative was devised around this occasion. In one of the most novel and innovative ways, these women decided to do X.

Trademark lawyer Neil Mason opines that the applications suggest that the company might be looking at licensing both the names for businesses. “Maybe eventually they are looking at merchandising,” he said. “These names are generally associated well with couple of characters and they probably want to utilize them.” However, the production house denied any immediate plans of licensing and merchandising. It is interesting to note that the Trademark office has already raised objections against the applications as similar trademarks such as Circuit House and Circuit World already exist. Similarly, Murphy India Ltd (which was amalgamated with Ceat Ltd) holds the trademark registration for the name Z ,under radio receiving sets, record players, amplifiers and television gadgets among others.
