nearby residents. Many criminals took refuge in the X from the advancing
armies of Emperor Akbar. Many have been known to be attacked by
Tigers. Many of the buildings which were built by them later fell to hands

This organisation was founded in 1980.
The organization first caught the public's attention in the summer of
1981 during what became known as the Silver Spring monkeys case, a
widely publicized dispute about experiments conducted on 17 macaque
monkeys inside the Institute of Behavioral Research in Silver Spring,
Maryland.
The case lasted ten years, involved the only police raid on an animal
laboratory in the United States, triggered an amendment in 1985 to that
country's Animal Welfare Act, and established it as an internationally
known organization.

Research of the Wageningen scientists have demonstrated that crops are
able to grow quite well on Mars (just as in Martian) and moon soil
simulant if organic matter is added to the soils. Heavy metals such as lead,
cadmium and copper are known to be present in the soils. If they are
taken up in the parts of the crops that may be eaten, they can make the
vegetables inedible for humans. "For radish, Y, rye and X we did a
preliminary analysis and the results are very promising," says ecologist
Wieger Wamelink.

The genus X was named in 1735 by Carl Linnaeus after the Greek god X, who could
change his form at will, because they have such a wide variety of forms. Linnaeus's genus
was formed by merging a number of genera previously published by Herman Boerhaave,
although precisely which of Boerhaave's genera were included in Linnaeus's X varied with
each of Linnaeus's publications.
X is both the botanical name and the English common name of a genus of South
African flowering plants, sometimes also called sugarbushes .In local tradition, the X
flower represents change and hope.

• X disease was caused by Y poisoning due to mining in Toyama Prefecture. Prior
to World War II, the Y mining, controlled by the Mitsui Mining & Smelting Co.,
Ltd., increased to satisfy the wartime demand. This subsequently increased the
pollution of the Jinzū River and its tributaries. The river was used mainly for
irrigation of rice fields, but also for drinking water, washing, fishing, and other
uses by downstream populations. Due to the Y poisoning, the fish in the river
started to die, and the rice irrigated with river water did not grow well. The
heavy metals accumulated at the bottom of the river and in the water of the
river. This water was then used to irrigate the rice fields.
• When the population complained about this pollution, the company thought it
to be simply a regional disease or a type of bacterial infection. Only in 1955 did
Dr. Hagino and his colleagues suspect Y as the cause of the disease.

• In Thailand it is believed that a X may contain the soul of a dead person, perhaps a
Buddha. When one is taken the capturer is rewarded and the animal brought to the
king to be kept ever afterwards. It cannot be bought or sold. It is baptized and fêted
and mourned for like a human being at its death.
• In some parts of Indo-China the belief is that the soul of the X may injure people after
death; it is therefore fêted by a whole village.
• In Cambodia it is held to bring luck to the kingdom. The cult of the X is also found in
southern Ethiopia.
• In Surat, unmarried Anāvil girls participate in a holiday referred to as Alunām.

48. A parasitic nematode several feet long, European explorers named it for the X coast of
West Africa in the 17th Century. It's the stuff of nightmares. Eggs in stagnant water are
eaten by water fleas, which get swallowed by a human drinking water. They mature in
the human's gut, then mate. The female burrows to the lower leg and emerges. The
burning sensation drives the victim to put his or her legs in the water. The worm lays her
eggs and the cycle is repeated. Fortunately, it's easily prevented with a simple drinking
filter, and it's on track to be exterminated within the next decade.
