tells the story of a German family (particularly of a young boy and his depressed ex-POW father).

• The gist of the story:• There are several miraculous events in the movie. For

Richard, it is the sudden joy of scoring a goal with an abandoned soccer ball. For Rahn, it is seeing Matthias on the sideline that spurs him into scoring the winning goal. For Sepp Herberger, however, the miracles are more mundane. The sudden rain occurs and as the German captain Fritz Walter tended to perform better in stormy conditions, but not so much the Germans fitted with Adi Dassler's revolutionary screw-in football studs.”

7.• Iznogoud  is a French comics series featuring

an eponymous character, created by René Goscinny and Jean Tabary. Iznogoud is the second in command to the Caliph of Baghdad Haroun El Poussah but his sole aim in life is to overthrow the Caliph and take his place. This is frequently expressed in his famous catchphrase, “I want to be Caliph instead of the Caliph”, which has passed into everyday French for qualifying over-ambitious people who want to become chief. Iznogoud is always assisted in his plans by his faithful henchman, Dilat Larath.

• A typical example is when Iznogoud discovers the "Road to Nowhere", a road that only leads back to itself, and devises a plot to lure the Caliph there so he will become eternally trapped. In his excitement over the prospect to accomplish his life's mission, Iznogoud forgets that he needs an exit for himself. As in every Iznogoud story, Iznogoud is ultimately unsuccessful, and the Caliph continues his reign.

The song was originally from Ivo Robić who wrote it for the festival in Split but the song never passed the selection, so later on he sang it in German and in Croatian. Bert Kaempfert bought the rights of the song for the film A Man Could Get Killed, which introduced the song "Strangers in the Night". The song was made famous in 1966 by X. The track was recorded on April 11, 1966, one month before the rest of the album.

• X, a notable cryptologist, broke Vigenère's autokey cipher as well as the much weaker cipher that is called Vigenère cipher today.

• In 1838, X invented the pilot (also called a cow-catcher), the metal frame attached to the front of locomotives that clears the tracks of obstacles.

.Who is this visionary?

• X once contacted the poet Alfred Tennyson in response to his poem "The Vision of Sin“, X wrote In your otherwise beautiful poem, one verse reads,

• Every moment dies a man,Every moment one is born. ... If this were true, the population of the world would be at a standstill. In truth, the rate of birth is slightly in excess of that of death. I would suggest [that the next version of your poem should read :Every moment dies a man,Every moment 1 1/16 is born.Strictly speaking, the actual figure is so long I cannot get it into a line, but I believe the figure 1 1/16 will be sufficiently accurate for poetry.

• X was a mechanical engineer, who believed in machines and also credited with the invention of the pilot in the automobiles and also the opthamalscope which he gave it to a physician for testing and apparently forgot and hence some one else was given the credit of inventing it. He invented something which is remotely of any resemblance to all these.

• The bird shown on the medieval seal is generic, but the wording of the seal contains references to King John, who granted the town’s charter in 1207. John, in honor of his patron saint, frequently used the device of an eagle - long associated with St. John. Further indication that the seal was an homage to King John is found in the sprig of broom initially shown in the bird’s beak, broom being a symbol of the royal family of Plantagenet

• By the 17th century, the origins of the bird had begun to be forgotten, with references to the bird as a cormorant, still a common bird in the coastal waters near X.

• The bird thus appears to have originally been intended to be an eagle, but is now officially a cormorant. Many modern interpretations of the symbol are of a cormorant, although several - notably that on the X’s logo distinctly show the short head and curved beak more readily associated with a bird of prey.

The film is known for the grim Carnival freak-like grin on the character Gwynplaine's face which often leads the film to be credited to the horror film genre. Film critic Roger Ebert stated “X”is a melodrama, at times even a swashbuckler, but so steeped in Expressionist gloom that it plays like a horror film.
