8. X is a play by William Shakespeare, believed to have been written in 1610–11,
and thought by many critics to be the last play that Shakespeare wrote alone.
There is no obvious single source for the plot of X, but researchers have seen
parallels in Erasmus‟s Naufragium, Peter martyr‟s De orbe novo. The play was
first published in the First Folio of 1 It differs from Shakespeare's other plays in its
observation of a stricter, more organised neoclassical style. Critics see X as
explicitly concerned with its own nature as a play. X did not attract a significant
amount of attention before the closing of the theatres in 1642, and only attained
popularity after the Restoration, and then only in adapted versions. In the mid-
19th century, theatre productions began to reinstate the original Shakespearean
text, and in the 20th century, critics and scholars undertook a significant re-
appraisal of the play's value, to the extent that it is now considered to be one of
Shakespeare's greatest works. It has been adapted numerous times in a variety
of styles and formats: in music, at least 46 operas by composers such
as Fromental Halévy , Zdeněk Fibich and Thomas Adès; orchestral works
by Tchaikovsky, Arthur Sullivan and Arthur Honegger; and songs by such diverse
artists as Ralph Vaughan Williams, Michael Nyman and Pete Seeger; in
literature, Percy Bysshe Shelley's poem With a Guitar, To Jane and W. H.
Auden's The Sea and the Mirror; novels by Aimé Césaire and The
Diviners by Margaret Laurence; in paintings by William Hogarth, Henry Fuseli,
and John Everett Millais; and on screen, ranging through a hand-tinted version
of Herbert Beerbohm Tree's 1905 stage performance, the science fiction
film Forbidden Planet in 1956
10. x is a pejorative American political term used to illustrate perceived hypocrisy by a
political liberal of upper class or upper middle class status; including calls for the use
of mass transit while frequently using luxurious transports
themselves , claiming environmental consciousness but driving low MPG sports cars
or SUVs, or ostensibly supporting public education while actually sending their
children to private schools.
Democratic New York City mayoral hopeful Mario Procaccino coined the term "x" to
describe incumbent Republican Mayor John Lindsay and his
wealthy Manhattan backers during a heated 1969 campaign.
It was a populist epithet, carrying an implicit accusation that the people it described
were insulated from all negative consequences of their programs purported to benefit
the poor, and that the costs and consequences of such programs would be borne in
the main by working class or lower middle class people who were not so poor as to be
beneficiaries themselves. In particular, Procaccino criticized Lindsay for favoring
unemployed blacks over working-class ethnic whites
One Procaccino campaign memo attacked "rich super-assimilated people who live
on Fifth Avenue and maintain some choice mansions outside the city and have no
feeling for the small middle class shopkeeper, home owner, etc. They preach the
politics of confrontation and condone violent upheaval in society because they are not
touched by it and are protected by their courtiers". The Independent later stated that
"Lindsay came across as all style and no substance, a 'x' who knew nothing of the
concerns of the same 'Silent Majority' that was carrying Richard Nixon to the White
House at the very same time.

avenge her insult but none could equal the might of Y in warfare then X

Y was defeated by W.

throat is slashed (with a knife or other sharp

26. The x was originally a large pond before 1930. It was filled up in the early
1930s so that annual ____ could be shifted here from the flood plains behind
Red Fort. It quickly became a popular site for political meetings, with
Gandhiji, Nehru, Sardar Patel and other top nationalist leaders addressing
rallies here. A small pond is still there inside the x as a remembrance of its
history. Jayaprakash Narayan along with prominent Opposition leaders,
addressed a mammoth rally with over a lakh people participating on June
25, 1975. This was the first protest in x, which was against Indira Gandhi's
government. This was Jayaprakash Narayan last rally before he was
arrested.
Just after Emergency situation was removed in India, in February 1977,
several anti-Congress(opposition) leaders came on a common platform of to
form Janata Party. The Joint rally was held at x and was led by several
opposition leaders Jagjivan Ram, Morarji Desai, Atal Bihari
Vajpayee, Charan Singh and Chandra Shekhar. Since Vajpayee had by then
already acquired the reputation of a master orator, large crowds turned up to
listen to him, as also the other speakers
28. The "x Put" refers to the monetary policy approach that x, the former Chairman of
the United States Federal Reserve Board, and other Fed members exercised from the
late 1987 to 2000.
The term "Put" refers to a put option, in which the buyer of the put acquires the right to
sell an asset at a particular price to a counterparty; as such it is exercised if prices
decline beneath this level. During x's chairmanship, when a crisis arose and the stock
market fell more than about 20%, the Fed would lower the Fed Funds rate, often
resulting in a negative real yield. In essence, the Fed added monetary liquidity and
encouraged risk taking in the financial markets to avert further deterioration.
The Fed did so after the 1987 stock market crash, which prompted traders to coin the
term x Put, later termed Moral hazard. In 2000, x raised interest rates several times.
These actions were believed by some to have caused the bursting of the dot-com
bubble. The Fed also injected funds to avert further market declines associated with
the Savings and loan crisis and Gulf War, the Mexican crisis, the Asian crisis,
the LTCM crisis, Y2K, the burst of the internet bubble, the 9/11 attacks and repeatedly
from the early stages of the Global Financial Crisis to the present.
The Fed's pattern of providing ample liquidity resulted in the investor perception of put
protection on asset prices. Investors increasingly believed that in a crisis or downturn,
the Fed would step in and inject liquidity until the problem got better. Invariably, the Fed
did so each time, and the perception became firmly embedded in asset pricing in the
form of higher valuation, narrower credit spreads, and excess risk taking. Joseph
Stiglitz criticized the put as privatizing profits and socializing losses and implicates it in
inflating a speculative bubble in the lead-up to the 2008 financial crisis.

management, and tax services to selected clients.
In 2008, x adopted its new “Always One Step Ahead” (AOSA)
brand positioning platform to support the existing x vision: “To
be the Standard of Excellence”. AOSA represents the global
organization‟s value proposition, and is never used as a tagline.
The recent launch of the Green Dot ad campaign also aligns
with x‟s brand strategy and positioning framework.
