The secrecy associated with the launch of a particular project led to a rather sizeable
loss over the holiday period for a particular multimedia conglomerate. An estimated 2.7
million USD worth of merchandise could not be manufactured in time for Christmas.
However, the shortfall is expected to be made up by the beginning of May, which is
when the next expected boom in the sales of merchandise is expected. What
merchandise could not be manufactured in time? Why is the next boom in sales
expected around May?

The idea came from enjoying the subtle differences in the blue of a sky in a particularly brutal ______
______, I found that without the presence of image detail to help locate a component, I was relying
only on an intuitive sense of colour, and this was much more satisfying to do than the areas with
image details.
What is strange is that unlike ordinary _______ where you are in effect redrawing a specific picture
from a reference you have a sense of where every component belongs compared to every other
component.
There is a real logic in the doing that is weirdly soothing, therapeutic, it must be the German coming
out in me. As each component clicks perfectly into place, just so, it’s a little win, like a little pat on the
back.”

The organisation responsible for naming Xs has come up with a certain set of
guidelines.X are often given common names by people outside of the
community.Therefore, it is important that whoever first reports on an identified X
uses an appropriate name that is scientifically sound and socially acceptable.
The best practices state that a X should consist of generic descriptive terms and more
specific defined words when robust information is available on how the X works.
Terms that should be avoided in X names include geographic locations , people’s
names, species of animal or food, cultural, population, industry or occupational
references, and terms that incite undue fear.

Amy Elizabeth Fisher (born in Merrick, New York) is an American
woman who became known as X by the media in 1992, when, at the
age of 17, she shot and severely wounded Mary Jo, the wife of her
illicit lover. Initially charged with first-degree attempted murder, she
eventually pleaded guilty to first-degree aggravated assault and served
seven years in prison.

Both X and Y were said to have arrived in Saint Petersburg at roughly
the same time in 1903. X was in Russia to perform and was a hit
everywhere.
In an Associated Press story which appeared several months after X's
death, it was revealed that X had been asked to be a spiritual adviser
to Czar Nicholas, but he refused because he was Jewish and much of
Russia, especially Moscow at the time, was very anti-Semitic. The role
eventually went to Y. Another story goes that X refused wine because
he was a teetotaller and hence lost favour with the royal family.
Give both X and Y.

The reason for this popular occurrence starts with Howard Schultz taking a
fortuitous trip to Italy. During this trip, Schultz became captivated with these
Italian ‘boutiques’ and the romance of the entire experience. He went on to
open his own store, Il Giornale, to bring the flavour to America. Schult
incorporated some of those influences in his latest venture which in no time
spread globally. Since the venture was designed around the concept of his
Italian inspiration, Schultz wanted it to be reflected in some way whilst making
them distinct. Apart from marketing strategy, the move was an attempt at
making the consumer less wary about the cost and consumption of the
product.
What did Schultz do?

While their numbers have been dwindling quite wildly over the past few years, in
one particular city, probably more famous for its underground, these creatures
have found their home in quite an unconventional place - the rooftops. The
frequent plantings in the city’s gardens and private homes, and the lack of
pesticides allow them to prosper. Quite a few famous places within the city are
host to their habitat - a fact that led to a sizeable population of these creatures
being at risk during the first half of 2019 due to an incident. Which creatures?

Researchers at the University of Birmingham in the United Kingdom have developed a tiny set of sensors
to collect climate data that can work in high speed and erratic climatic conditions.
Rick Thomas, the research fellow who leads the project, had an idea to use these sensors in a unique way
to collect data on urban microclimates — the block-by-block variations in temperature, humidity, and
winds that affect living conditions in major cities.
A lot of people say, ‘Well why don’t you just use a drone?’” said Thomas. But drones, of course, have
caused their fair share of trouble in the UK recently. “You can’t fly drones up there.And X have an
excellent sense of direction, they always come back.
The project works with local volunteers give their Xs for the program. For data transmission from the
sensors to the servers open public wifis in the city hotspots are used, like in the public parks and near
fountains.
What unique idea did Rick Thomas come up with?

This is the Kia Sonet concept, unveiled at the Auto Expo this year. The front of the car,
follows a design pattern that has two very ‘Indian’ inspirations.
The grille shape, which now has a trademarked name, was actually one of many possible
designs in a Kia studio back in 2007. One of the designers pointed out the similarity, and
the shape has since expanded to most Kia models. With the Sonet, the headlamps are
also following on the grille shape.
The geometry of the grille mesh is inspired from something, the concept of which can be
traced to as far back as the Indus Valley Civilization. In its known form of appearance, it
is at least as old as the 4th century Uperkot Caves of Junagadh.
What two very ‘Indian’ inspirations, has Kia taken?

In order to streamline, liberalise and ease the process of issue of passport, the ministry
has taken a number of steps in the realm of passport policy which is expected to benefit
the citizens of India applying for a passport.
To make things easy for a particular community, who have little information of their
backgrounds and rarely have a birth certificate, the MHA will give them a option for
their passports.VK Singh, MoS External Affairs, noted that , “ This community doesn’t
have a sense of family life, they have long left their homes, they have themselves and
their ______ . So if you have spent your whole life following the footsteps of your ____
,naturally he is next to your ______ . So, this is an this option for them.”

Card/School Leaving Certificate as proof of them being residents in India.

Back in 1966, most of the freight loading on the planes used to happen
with the ground crew simply tossing the luggage in the fuselage, there
were no conveyor belts.So the lower the aircraft was to the ground, the
easier it was for the crew to load the luggage. In the 60s and 70s it was
fine because, most of the engines were small and cigar shaped, but with
larger engines for more fuel efficiency in the 90s, Boeing made a small
change to the core design, still keeping the low ground clearance.What?

The Noonday Demon’ is a book by Andrew Solomon. The book was honored in
2001 with the National Book Award for Nonfiction and the Lambda Literary
Award for autobiography or memoir. In 2002 it was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize
for General Non-Fiction.
The book borrows its title from the Bible (91:6) – “the destruction that wasteth at
noonday.”
Joyce Carol Oates, writing in the NY Times remarked on the appropriateness of
the title - “Though one might wince at the theological metaphor, with its
suggestion of demonic possession -- a primitive stage in our comprehension of
illness we like to believe we've advanced beyond -- still the poetic figure of
speech is a powerful one” !

angry bear from a painful-looking bear trap, shooting a pool trick shot before an
audience (by shooting the cue ball out of the mouth of a man lying on the pool
table), catching a marlin while cavorting in a Hemingway-esque scene with a
beautiful young woman, winning an arm-wrestling match in a South American
setting, surfing a killer wave, and bench pressing two young women, each seated in
a chair, in a casino setting.
- He was retired from the ad series in 2016 through a one-way rocket launch to

regret feels like."
