Current south of Hudson Bay. Finally, they reach the Grand Banks of
Newfoundland where they move either eastward north of the Flemish Cap or

it was abruptly removed from the game’s store. It was first thought that the game’s
NFL license had ended already, but soon it was known that the developers removed
them because of controversial usage by some players.
• Social media was flooded with examples of this controversial behavior,some of the
examples were Michael Vick, who had pleaded guilty of animal abuse with a dog on
his back. Someone also created a Jason Pierre-Paul character carrying a bag of
fireworks. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers player blew off some of his fingers in
fireworks incident. Players even created an avatar of Colin Kaepernick and took a
picture of it taking a knee in the game.

• As recounted on the blog Epidemix, the story starts with Godfrey Hounsfield, a
researcher at EMI back in the 1950s. Although it's a (somewhat struggling) major
record label today, EMI--which stands for Electrical and Musical Industries--was
once an industrial research company. Hounsfield did some pioneering work on
computers, helping to build the first all-transistor computer, but the division
wasn't profitable for EMI and the company sold its computer business in
1962...right when it signed ___. His standing was good enough with the
company that they let him conduct independent research with funding from the
__’s string of massive successes in the 1960s. He went on to invent the _____,
which EMI first released in 1972, and shared the 1979 Nobel Prize for medicine
for his invention. Fill in the Blanks.

people. One of the most precious commodities was guano - bird shit - to be used as fertilizer. It
was well known that ______ based fertilizer could hugely increase agricultural productivity,
and that ______ was abundant in the atmosphere, but getting it out and into usable form was
prohibitively energy intensive.
• X invented an efficient process for doing it, inputting air and outputting ammonia. He won a
Nobel prize for it but the prize is the least of it. The X process is responsible for making it
possible for the Earth to support a large human population.

• The world of cricket experienced a massive change of rules in 1980. This
was primarily due to a controversial tactic used by England against West
Indies in an ODI match in late 1979. England first scored 211 runs, and

indies gave it their all and the final equation came down to 10 runs
required of the last over with Ian Botham bowling, it went down to the

59. 1)ID X
• X is a company with its head office and assembly plant in Molsheim, Alsace,
France. In the 1930s X got involved in the creation of planes in the hopes to beat
the Germans in the Deutsche de la Meurthe competition. Their plane model
would be called the X 100p but it never flew. It was designed by Louis de Monge,
a Belgian engineer.
• Since then, the brand has developed a reputation for building some of the most
exclusive products in its industry ever made. One of their most exclusive
projects started development in 2000. When Engineers were testing the first such
engine in 2001, the engine produced enough heat that it nearly burned the
factory building down. When the product runs on full speed, it takes 12 minutes
to empty the fuel tank. What is X?
60. 2)ID X
• A big reason why X became so popular was because of the X Boys. They were a
group of rich, British motorists who raced the cars in the 1920s and promoted them
among the social elite. The group consisted of Woolf Barnato, aviator Glen Kidston,
Sir Henry Birkin, Dr Dudley Benjafield, steeplechaser George Duller and car
journalist Sammy Davis. Interestingly, many of them came from a military
background.X instantly gained a good reputation for building reliable, fast and
expensive cars.
• The latter, however, was not beneficial for the company, since the low number of
sales hardly covered the material costs of production.X was always underfunded.
The Wall Street Crash of 1929 and the resulting Great Depression throttled the
demand for X’s expensive motor cars. This led to the bankruptcy of X. Eventually,
Rolls-Royce Limited acquired the well-known Brutish vehicle manufacturer. The X 8
Litre is notable for being the last model, designed and built by X before its
bankruptcy.

• The first X didn't even have an engine when they unveiled it. The 350 GTV may have
been the world's first X, and ultimately, it led to the creation of the supercar genre,
but when it was first unveiled at the Turin Auto Show it wasn't even finished, so they
put a bunch of bricks where the engine should have been and kept the hood shut the
entire time.
• It was founded by ____ X, the original Tony Stark you could say. During WWII, he
was stationed on the isolated island of Rhodes as a vehicle maintenance supervisor
for the Italian Royal Air Force. Needless to say, being stuck on an island in the
middle of a war makes it pretty tricky to secure spare parts, forcing X to cobble
together scraps to keep his machines running. He quickly earned the reputation of
being a master mechanic, and an even more prolific tinkerer. Kind of like that time
Tony Stark built a nuclear reactor in a cave. But real. What is X?

• The world of motorsport witnessed a convergence of legends in 1982. That year, the FIA
introduced Group B—the dangerous, near-unlimited class that fostered some of the fastest and
most powerful cars ever to hit dirt, an era spoken today with awe, reverence, hushed tones.
Lancia, whose Stratos had won three consecutive World Rally Championship Constructors’
titles, introduced the 037 in partnership with Abarth. Martini Racing, for its part, placed its
famed livery across this new Lancia, forging one of the longest-lasting sponsorships in rallying
history.
• Another legend of the class, X’s ___ redefined the sport in 1980, becoming the first rally car
with all-wheel drive. It was a revelation. Once they figured it out, drivers found it supremely
confidence-inspiring; you could stand on it and the car would go where you wanted it, no
matter ice, snow, or gravel. All-wheel-drive excelled on every slippery surface. Despite the
fears that it would be too complex and too heavy, nearly every driver agreed all-wheel drive
was the future of rallying. Just ten days after it was homologated, the ___ won its first outing it
ever entered, the 1981 Janner Rally in Austria with Franz Wittman. Gimme X.

• Back in 1984, the year X was founded, it was practically unimaginable that a tiny
startup based in Waterloo, Ontario would help change the way we communicate, but
for fresh engineering graduates Mike Lazaridis and Douglas Fregin that was always
the plan. The beginnings were humble for the two founders, with the majority of
their time dedicated to Budgie, an LED sign business that was contracted by General
Motors to communicate messages to workers on its assembly lines. Despite early
interest, the project was a sales flop and X’s owners decided to sell the business and
look at other ventures. Through constant innovation and experimentation, they
arrived at their most successful ventures, involving the manufacture of pagers and
inventing revolutionary communication tech., and soon became cultural and
business icons of the 2000s. But more recently, they’re observed around the world as
a case study for business failure.

infinitesimals rigorously, but it is sufficient to say that an infinitesimal number is smaller
in absolute value than any positive real number, just as an infinitely large number is
larger than any real number.
