2. •The Munich physics professor Philipp von Jolly

advised X against going into physics, saying, “in this field, almost everything is already discovered, and all that remains is to fill a few holes.”

•His lesser known but equally important work can be traced with the greats of Rayleigh, Jean , Wien and relying heavily on Boltzmann.

• MAX PLANCK

• X (born November 2, 1929 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) is an American engineer entrepreneur who runs a successful corporation based in Framingham, Massachusetts.

• In 2011, he donated a majority of the company in form of non-voting shares to Massachusetts Institute of Technology to sustain and advance MIT’s education and research mission on the condition that the shares never be sold.

• X makes Y that have been lauded for their performance,[though they have been criticized as costing "at least 50% too much for the … value of the experience ... however, if you're a frequent flyer, these are a no brainer".

• AMAR BOSE

4. • X is widely believed to have contributed to the Nazi takeover

of Germany and Adolf Hitler's rise to power. Adolf Hitler himself in his book, Mein Kampf, makes many references to the German debt and the negative consequences that brought about the inevitability of "national socialism".

• X also raised doubts about the competence of liberal institutions, especially amongst a middle class who had held cash savings and bonds. It also produced resentment of bankers and speculators, whom the government and the press blamed for the crisis.

• Some Germans called the X Weimar banknotes "Jew confetti"

7. • X is the name of various fractional units of currency used in the

Greek-speaking world from antiquity until today. The word means "small" or "thin", and during classical and Hellenistic times a X was always a small value coin, usually the smallest available denomination of another currency.

• In modern Greece, X is the name of the 1/100 denomination of all the official currencies of the Greek state:

• the phoenix (1827–1832),

• the drachma (1832–2001)

• the euro (2002–current) –

-the name is the Greek form of "euro cent." Its unofficial currency sign is Λ (lambda).

Until the introduction of the euro, no Greek coin had been minted with a denomination lower than 5 X since the late 1870s.

• Lepton

8. • The real Windows Mobile 7, that is, X as it once was called, is dead.

Windows Mobile 7 was supposed to be an evolution of Windows Mobile 5 and 6. It was supposed to be built on the paradigm that previous generations of Windows Mobile had been created from: a Start-menu centric application experience, two soft keys on bottom, and applications that acted as they would on the desktop (often with a close button).

• Well X was scrapped, probably around 2008 when the Mobile division of Microsoft saw a big reorganization. With that, Microsoft started from scratch to build the next generation of Windows Mobile, or Windows Phone as they began calling it in 2009. Also at that time, they decided to extend the life of Windows Mobile 6 to buy some time, and a year later we saw 6.5. And despite rampant criticism, 6.5 shipped on a lot of really awesome devices like the HTC Touch Pro2 and HD2, Acer neoTouch, and Samsung Omnia II.

• X occurs when the phonemes of 2 different speech stimuli are combined into a new percept that is longer and linguistically more complex than either of the 2 inputs. For example, when "pay" is presented to one ear and "lay" to the other, the listener often perceives "play.“

• A common form of X is found in the development of nasal vowels, which frequently become phonemic when final nasal consonants are lost from a language. This occurred in French and Portuguese. Compare the French words un vin blanc [œ̃ vɛ ̃ blɑ ̃] "a white wine" with their English cognates, one, vine, blank, which retain the n's.

• X is a mountain in the Pennine Alps on the border between Switzerland and Italy. Its summit is 4,478 meters (14,690 ft) high, making it one of the highest peaks in the Alps.The mountain overlooks the town of Zermatt in the canton of Valais to the north-east and Breuil-Cervinia in the Aosta Valley to the south. The Theodul Pass, located at the eastern base of the peak, is the lowest passage between its north and south side.

• X was one of the last great Alpine peaks to be climbed and its first ascent marked the end of the golden age of alpinism. It was made in 1865 by a party led by Edward Whymper and ended disastrously when four of its members fell to their deaths on the descent. The north face was not climbed until 1931, and is amongst the six great north faces of the Alps. X is one of the deadliest peaks in the Alps: from 1865 – when it was first climbed – to 1995, 500 alpinists died on it.

• X has become an iconic emblem of the Swiss Alps and the Alps in general. Since the end of the 19th century, when railways were built, it attracted more and more visitors and climbers. Each summer a large number of mountaineers try to climb X via the northeast Hörnli ridge, the most popular route to the summit.

It's burning and bursting into flames and the... and it's falling on the mooring mast. And all the folks agree that this is terrible; this is the one of the worst catastrophes in the world. [indecipherable] its flames... Crashing, oh! Four- or five-hundred feet into the sky and it... it's a terrific crash, ladies and gentlemen. It's smoke, and it's in flames now; and the frame is crashing to the ground, not quite to the mooring mast. Oh, the humanity! And all the passengers screaming around here. I told you; it—I can't even talk to people, their friends are on there! Ah! It's... it... it's a... ah! I... I can't talk, ladies and gentlemen. Honest: it's just laying there, mass of smoking wreckage. Ah! And everybody can hardly breathe and talk and the screaming. I... I... I'm sorry. Honest: I... I can hardly breathe. I... I'm going to step inside, where I cannot see it. Charlie, that's terrible. Ah, ah... I can't. Listen, folks; I... I'm gonna have to stop for a minute because [indecipherable] I've lost my voice. This is the worst thing I've ever witnessed.

12.

• The concept of X originated with the Italian scholar Petrarch (Francesco Petrarca) in the 1330s, and was originally intended as a sweeping criticism of the character of Late Latin literature.

• Later historians expanded the term to refer to the transitional period between Roman times and the High Middle Ages (c. 11th–13th century), including not only the lack of Latin literature, but also a lack of contemporary written history, general demographic decline, limited building activity and material cultural achievements in general. Later historians and writers picked up the concept, and popular culture has further expanded on it as a vehicle to depict X as a time of backwardness, extending its pejorative use and expanding its scope.

• The X National Book Awards (prior British Book Awards) are a series of British literary awards focused on the best UK writers and their works, as selected by an academy of members from the British book publishing industry. The awards are organized and governed by Agile Marketing.

• The shortlists are created by around 50 individuals from the X National Book Awards Academy, who are drawn from retailer chain buyers, independent booksellers, wholesalers and trade press columnists. Winners are then chosen by the entire 750-strong X National Book Awards Academy by way of vote. Each member gets one vote per category and the most votes wins. The criteria for a winning book is primarily the appeal, profile and sales impact of the title concerned.

• It was also known as the Nibbies because of the golden nib-shaped trophy given to winners.

• The Stockholm Visitor's Board (former Stockholm Information Service) was a sponsor of the project in the beginning, like several museums, theaters, parks and scientific institutions.

• The Ericsson Globe (originally known as the Stockholm Globe Arena, or in Swedish nicknamed Globen, ’The Globe’) is the national indoor arena of Sweden, located in the Johanneshov district of Stockholm (Stockholm Globe City).

• The Ericsson Globe is currently the largest hemispherical building in the world and took two and a half years to build. Shaped like a large white ball, it has a diameter of 110 metres (361 feet) and an inner height of 85 metres (279 feet).

SOLAR SYSTEM

17. • In 1960, Bell Labs built a 20-foot horn-shaped antenna in Holmdel,

NJ to be used with an early satellite system called Echo. The intention was to collect and amplify radio signals to send them across long distances, but within a few years, another satellite was launched and Echo became obsolete. With the antenna no longer tied to commercial applications, it was now free for research. Penzias and Wilson jumped at the chance to use it to analyze radio signals from the spaces between galaxies. But when they began to employ it, they encountered a persistent "noise“. If they were to conduct experiments with the antenna, they would have to find a way to remove the static.

• Then they found droppings of pigeons nesting in the antenna. They cleaned out the mess and tried removing the birds and discouraging them from roosting, but they kept flying back. "To get rid of them, we finally found the most humane thing was to get a shot gun…and at very close range [we] just killed them instantly. It’s not something I’m happy about, but that seemed like the only way out of our dilemma," said Penzias."And so the pigeons left with a smaller bang, but the noise remained, coming from every direction."

18. • The Total Perspective Vortex derives its picture of the whole Universe on the

principle of extrapolated matter analyses. To explain — since every piece of matter in the Universe is in some way affected by every other piece of matter in the Universe, it is in theory possible to extrapolate the whole of creation — every sun, every planet, their orbits, their composition and their economic and social history from, say, one small piece of fairy cake. The man who invented the Total Perspective Vortex did so basically in order to annoy his wife. Trin Tragula — for that was his name — was a dreamer, a thinker, a speculative philosopher or, as his wife would have it, an idiot. And she would nag him incessantly about the utterly inordinate amount of time he spent staring out into space, or mulling over the mechanics of safety pins, or doing spectrographic analyses of pieces of fairy cake. "Have some sense of proportion!" she would say, sometimes as often as thirty-eight times in a single day. And so he built the Total Perspective Vortex — just to show her. And into one end he plugged the whole of reality as extrapolated from a piece of fairy cake, and into the other end he plugged his wife: so that when he turned it on she saw in one instant the whole infinity of creation and herself in relation to it. To Trin Tragula's horror, the shock completely annihilated her brain; but to his satisfaction he realized that he had proved conclusively that if life is going to exist in a Universe of this size, then the one thing it cannot afford to have is a sense of proportion.

• X opened the door of the box and stepped in. Inside the box he waited. After five seconds there was a click, and the entire Universe was there in the box with him.

19. •X of 1963 was one of the coldest winters on record in

the United Kingdom. Temperatures plummeted and lakes and rivers began to freeze over. In the Central England Temperature (CET) record, extending back to 1659, only the winter (defined as the months of December, January and February) of 1683–84 has been significantly colder, with 1739–40 being slightly colder than 1962–63. However, the winter did not rank so highly in Scotland for its severity as it did in England and Wales.

THE BIG FREEZE

20. • X currents are a source of danger for people in ocean and lake surf.

They can be extremely dangerous, dragging swimmers away from the beach. Death by drowning comes following exhaustion while fighting the river or ocean current.

• Although a rare event, X currents can be deadly for non-swimmers as well: a person standing waist deep in water can be dragged into deeper waters, where they can drown if they are unable to swim and are not wearing a flotation device. Varying topography makes some beaches more likely to have X currents; a few are notorious.

• X currents cause more than 100 deaths annually in the United States. X currents cause 80% of rescues needed by beach lifeguards.

THE RIP CURRENT

21. • Hot, dry skin is a typical sign of X . The skin may become red and hot

as blood vessels dilate in an attempt to decrease X, sometimes leading to swollen lips.

• Other signs and symptoms vary depending on the cause. The dehydration associated with heat stroke can produce nausea, vomiting, headaches, and low blood pressure. This can lead to fainting or dizziness, especially if the person stands suddenly.

• The person may become confused or hostile, and may seem intoxicated. Heart rate and respiration rate will increase (tachycardia and tachypnea) as blood pressure drops and the heart attempts to supply enough oxygen to the body. The decrease in blood pressure can then cause blood vessels to contract, resulting in a pale or bluish skin color in advanced cases of X. Some people, especially young children, may have seizures. Eventually, as body organs begin to fail, unconsciousness and death will result.
