This period in 1970 is known as the X in Arab history and sometimes is referred to as the "era of regrettable events“. It was a month when King Hussein of Jordan moved to quash the militancy of Palestinian organizations and restore his monarchy's rule over the country. The violence resulted in the deaths of thousands of people, the vast majority Palestinian. Armed conflict lasted until July 1971 with the expulsion of the PLO and thousands of Palestinian fighters to Lebanon. The group X was established by Fatah members in 1971 to serve as a front organization for revenge operations and international strikes after the events. The group's most infamous operation was the killing of 11 Israelis, nine of whom were first taken hostage, and the killing of a German police officer. X's official name for the operation was "Ikrit and Biram", after the names of two Palestinian Christian villages.

Black September

“I have never told this before, but there is something else deeply personal that impacted me. My daughter Kira, suffered from a rare condition from birth that would have eventually killed her. She was a newborn baby with very rare lung incapacity with no known cure. A certain doctor in San Diego had found an untested cure that seemed to work on at least some children. But its outcome was not conclusively proven. So, parents who took their children had to make a call. The procedure required the child to be paralysed for a few moments and it was repeated a number of times before the child’s lungs began to function normally again. Left with no other options, we agreed to give it a try. We watched as four times she was turned upside down, her entire system stopped and the lungs cleaned. At the end of it, she breathed and, thank God, has become perfectly normal.”

“At the end of the procedure, I realized how precious the doctor’s knowledge was. It occurred to me that no one other than this doctor would ever know about this whole thing. There had to be a way.”

Who on What?

Jimmy Wales

X commenting on the death of Y( in October, 1931): “He had no hobby, cared for no sort of amusement of any kind and lived in utter disregard of the most elementary rules of hygiene. His method was inefficient in the extreme, for an immense ground had to be covered to get anything at all unless blind chance intervened and, at first, I was almost a sorry witness of his doings, knowing that just a little theory and calculation would have saved him 90 percent of the labour. But he had a veritable contempt for book learning and mathematical knowledge, trusting himself entirely to his inventor's instinct and practical American sense”. Who is X here?

Tesla on Edison

The phrase has been associated with Wisła Płock in Poland, SK Brann in Norway, Karşıyaka SK in Turkey, FC Volendam in Holland, Bofoakwa Tano in Ghana, Arminia Bielefeld and 1. FC Nuremberg in Germany and Birmingham City in England owing to the fact that these clubs hold records that are bittersweet.

The engine has two pistons. The difference in the engine is that the crankshaft has only one pin, and both pistons connect to it. This design, combined with the V arrangement of the cylinders, means that the pistons cannot fire at even intervals. Instead of one piston firing every 360 degrees, the engine goes like this:

A piston fires. The next piston fires at 315 degrees. There is a 405-degree gap. A piston fires. The next piston fires at 315 degrees. There is a 405-degree gap. And the cycle continues.
