THE NSIT QUIZ CLUBQ1.Also known by herChinesenameSai Zhenzhu, X
wrote under the pen name John Sedges. Dev Anand was approached by
American director Tad Danielewski and X to be cast in an American
film based on a novel by an Indian author. Someone suggested RK
Narayans the Guide . He called up X who invited him to the United
States to discuss the project and procured the rights to the
book.This movie was made in two versions - an English version in
collaboration with X and directed by Ted Danielewski to introduce
Dev Anand to western audiences and of course the Hindi version
directed by Dev Anand's younger brother Vijay Anand. The idea was
to film the scenes common to both versions simultaneously. X

THE NSIT QUIZ CLUBQ3.These "national" names of X were generally
reflective of contemporary political spite between nations and
frequently served as a sort of propaganda.X had been called the
"French disease" in Italy, Poland and Germany, and the "Italian
disease" in France. In addition, the Dutch called it the "Spanish
disease", the Russians called it the "Polish disease", and the
Turks called it the "Christian disease.The Dutch, for example, had
a colonial rivalry with the Spanish, so referring to Syphilis as
the 'Spanish' disease reinforced a politically useful perception
that the Spanish were immoral or unworthy. The inherent xenophobia
of the terms also stemmed from the disease's particular
epidemiology.During the 16th century, it was called "great pox" in
order to distinguish it from smallpox. In its early stages, the
great pox produced a rash similar to smallpox. However, the name is
misleading, as smallpox was a far more deadly disease.
Additionally, the ulcers suffered by British soldiers in Portugal
were termed "The Black Lion.Simply ID X, please.

THE NSIT QUIZ CLUBQ4.The word X has a long and interesting
history.It entered English from French, who inherited it from
Latin, who borrowed it from the Greeks, who had initially loaned it
from the Iranians. The Iranian word meant "walled enclosure". By
the 6th/5th century BCE, the Old Iranian word had been adopted as
Assyrian word for "domain". It subsequently came to indicate walled
estates, especially the carefully tended royal parks and
menageries. The term eventually appeared in Greek as "park for
animals.ID X, please.

THE NSIT QUIZ CLUBQ1.X is a language of the West Semitic
language of the Afroasiatic language family. It had ceased to be an
everyday spoken language somewhere between 200 and 400 CE. It
survived into the medieval period as a liturgical language but
without anyone who could speak in it. Then, in the 19th century, it
was revived as a spoken and literary language, had become, as of
1998, the language of 5 million people worldwide.It is the only
dead language (debatable) ever to have been resurrected.Simple ID

different character, a fact that changed after the Islamic conquest
of speakers of this language. After the conquest, the name of the
language was changed by one character owing to the inability of the
conquerors to pronounce it.Interestingly, the original name for the
language (Y) lives on in another form closely related to the great
past, yet far away.ID X and Y, please.

THE NSIT QUIZ CLUBQ1."Monster" is a song by American hip hop
recording artist Kanye West, released as the third single from his
fifth studio album, My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy (2010). The
track features rappers Jay-Z, Rick Ross, Nicki Minaj, and singer
Justin Vernon of indie folk group Bon Iver. All five credited
performers have writing credits on the posse cut, with the
production handled by West and Mike Dean. Lyrically the song
expresses often disturbing, horror film influenced concepts, with
some comparing the track's eerie aesthetic to the Michael Jackson
song "Thriller.However, the interesting bit is that the song became
part of the Top 40 of the iTunes top songs chart in
mid-January.Simply tell me what caused this.

THE NSIT QUIZ CLUBQ2.The X affair is a political and
intelligence scandal in the early 1960s that helped topple the
Conservative Party government of Prime Minister Harold
Macmillan,British Secretary of State for War John X, then a rising
46-year-old Conservative Party politician, was introduced to
19-year-old London dancer Christine Keeler by Stephen Ward, an
osteopath with contacts in both the aristocracy and the underworld.
Also present at this gathering was a Russian military attach,
Eugene Ivanov, who was Keelers lover. Through Wards influence X
began an affair with Keeler, and rumours of their involvement soon
began to spread. In March 1963 X lied about the affair to
Parliament, stating that there was no impropriety whatsoever in his
relationship with Keeler. Evidence to the contrary quickly became
too great to hide, however, and, 10 weeks later X resigned.Despite
charges of attempted espionage, neither the FBI nor British
intelligence was able to confirm or deny that Ivanov had attempted
to entrap X or to use Keeler as an access agent. Prime Minister
Macmillan continued in office until October, but the scandal was
pivotal in his eventual downfall, and within a year the opposition
Labour Party defeated the Conservatives in a national election.

THE NSIT QUIZ CLUBQ4.Xs life was once saved by Y, whose brother
would later the assassinate X's father. The incident took place on
a train platform in Jersey City, New Jersey. The exact date of the
incident is uncertain, but it is believed to have taken place in
late 1863 or early 1864.Months later, while serving as an officer
on the staff of General Ulysses S. Grant, X recalled the incident
to his fellow officer, Colonel Adam Badeau, who happened to be a
friend of Y. Badeau sent a letter to him, complimenting the actor
for his heroism. Before receiving the letter, Y had been unaware
that the man whose life he had saved on the train platform had been
an important mans son. The incident was said to have been of some
comfort to Y following his brothers new career choice.ID Xs father,

THE NSIT QUIZ CLUBQ5.In December 1974, the film rights for X
were bought with Alejandro Jodorowsky set to direct. In 1975,
Jodorowsky planned to film the story as a ten-hour feature, working
with Salvador Dal, Orson Welles, and Mick Jagger. The soundtrack
was to be provided by Pink Floyd. Jodorowsky set up a
pre-production unit in Paris consisting of Chris Foss, a British
artist who designed covers for science fiction periodicals, Jean
Giraud (Moebius), a French illustrator and H. R. Giger. Moebius
began designing creatures and characters for the film, while Foss
was brought in to design the film's space ships and hardware. Dan
O'Bannon was to head the special effects department.Dal was cast as
the Emperor. Dal later demanded to be paid $100,000 per hour;
Jodorowsky agreed, but tailored Dal's part to be filmed in one
hour, drafting plans for other scenes of the emperor to use a
mechanical mannequin as substitute for Dal. Just as the
storyboards, designs, and script were finished, the financial
backing dried up. Frank Herbert traveled to Europe in 1976 to find
that $2 million of the $9.5 million budget had already been spent
in pre-production, and that Jodorowsky's script would result in a
14-hour movie ("It was the size of a phone book", Herbert later
recalled). Jodorowsky said in 1985 that he found the X story
mythical and had intended to recreate it rather than adapt the
novel. O'Bannon entered a psychiatric hospital after the production
failed, and worked on thirteen scripts - the last of which became
Alien.ID X, please.

THE NSIT QUIZ CLUBQ6.X is a British English slang term for
Britain or often specifically England. Though it was used
throughout the 1800s in India to mean an English, British or
European visitor, it was first used during the Boer War in the
specific meaning of homeland for the English or Brits, and it was
not until World War I that the word spread widely.According to the
Oxford English Dictionary, the word derives from a regional variant
of the Urdu word "vilayati", meaning "foreign", "British",
"English" or "European.ID X.
