The remains found here are as good as 9500 years old.The present day city's name(same as that in pic) literally means the "gateway to heaven" inSanskrit.

Depiction of the constellation Southern cross(encircled by red)in these flags.

(15)Just near the Catatumbo river, these lightnings(pic. next slide and Flag of Zulia showing the phenomenon in the second slide) take place around 140 to 160 nights per year, over 10 hours everyday. These lightning storms are thus called Catatumbo Lightnings.Why has this phenomenon been the topic of hot discussion among environmentalists, weather scientists,physicists and other like minded people including political heads?

It is considered to be the world's largest single generator oftropospheric ozone.

(16)Beekeepers in North-Eastern France found themselves in a sticky situation a few years back as the honey they produced did not meet Frances standards of honey production and hence couldnt be sold.That was bad news for a region that had to deal with high bee mortality rate and low honey production after a harsh winter.What was the fuss all about and what has this to do with with "colorful button-shaped chocolates"produced bythe company Mars, Incorporated?

Instead of collecting nectar from flowers, local bees were feeding on remnants of local M&M candy shells produced nearby.Because of that factor, honey produced was in shades of blue and green and deviated from the French specifications(standard color being colorless to dark brown)

In 1981, Jacob de Gheyn III, a portrait from 1632 by X, was taken from the Dulwich Picture Gallery in London by four men in a taxi. This proved to be the first of four occasions on which the painting has been stolen and hence given the moniker Y X as the painting has become known has simply turned up again each time.Firstly the painting was returned to the gallery, and the next time it was found in the luggage rack at a German railway station. The third time Jacob de Gheyn III was stolen it turned up in a graveyard, and on the most recent occasion it was found in the basket of an abandoned bicycle.

Takeaway RembrandtThe painting of De Gheyn is smaller than most of Rembrandt's works, measuring only 29.9 by 24.9 centimetres (11.8 by 9.8inches). It has been stolen numerous times and its size is one factor that has contributed to its numerous thefts.

The character of X (played byMoira Kelly) was abandoned after the first season in The West Wing(1999-2006). Aaron Sorkinand Kelly both agreed that the character had run its course. However, Sorkin never explained on the show what happened to X - the character just disappeared. This gave birth to the term Xville", a reference to where characters go when they disappear from a series.

Mandyville(the character being Mandy Hampton)

X was thefirst woman, along with her twin brother,Yaccording toVedicbeliefs.TheRig Veda, in the tenthMandala, contains ahymnin which they sing to each other. X proposes marriage to Y but Y flatly refuses as he considers it incest.TheAtharva Vedaalso has a variant of the tale. In both texts, X argues that since they have slept together inside their mother's womb together, it was not wrong to sleep together outside it. However, the hymns abruptly end, without the final outcome being known.In later version of the tale, they are depicted as the first human beings and it is conjectured that X was successful in becoming Ys wife.X and Y are ironically god /goddess of two polar opposite departments and X shares her name with a famous Bollywood actress who autobiography (if it ever releses)should be titled 50 shades of Fair and lovely(another terrible pun intended).

X: Yami(lady of life)Y: Yama(lord of death, infact Yama was the first mortal to die)

Although this phrase is usually popular in a different context, it can also be applied to statistics and technology.Instatistics, the term has been used to describe the tradeoffs of statistical learners (e.g., inmachine learning). That is, any model that claims to offer superior flexibility in analyzing data patterns usually does so at the cost of introducing extra assumptions, or by sacrificing generalizability in important situations.It is sometimes used as a response to claims of the virtues offree software. Supporters of free software often counter that the use of the term "free" in this context is primarily a reference to a lack of constraint ("libre") rather than a lack of cost ("gratis").Richard Stallmanhas described it as "'free' as in 'free speech,' not as in 'free beer'".

According to theNew York Stock Exchange, aX Yisa stockin acorporationwith a national reputation for quality, reliability, and the ability to operate profitably in good times and bad.

According to Nigel Monaghan, keeper of natural history at the National Museum of this country(X) said that there were no suggestions of Y in the country, atleast not scientifically.Ys likely couldn't reach X. Most scientists point to the most recent Ice Age, which kept the island too cold for reptiles until it ended 10,000 years ago. After the Ice Age, surrounding seas may have kept Ys from colonizing the Emerald Isle.Many scholars believe that Ys were a metaphor for Pagans and symbols of evil in the Judeo-Christian traditionthe Bible, for example, portrays a Y as the agent of Adam and Eve's fall from grace.What Myth were they trying to debunk?
