X actually described five types::

1. The first XY is the snapping sound first heard at the systolic pressure.Clear tapping, repetitive sounds for at least two consecutive beats isconsidered the systolic pressure.

2. The second sounds are the murmurs heard for most of the areabetween the systolic and diastolic pressures.

3. The third sound was described as a loud, crisp tapping sound.4. The fourth sound, at pressures within 10 mmHg above the diastolic

blood pressure, was described as "thumping" and "muting".5. The fifth XY is silence as the cuff pressure drops below the diastolic

blood pressure. The disappearance of sound is considered diastolicblood pressure -- 2 mmHg below the last sound heard.

The second and third XYs have no known clinical significance.

The October 1918 issue of Notes and Queries contains a multi-article

entry on the word "___________"

A discussion arose at the Plymouth meeting of the Devonshire Associationin 1916 when it was suggested that this word should be recorded inthe list of local verbal provincialisms. Several members dissented from

its inclusion on the ground that it is in common use throughout thecountry; and a naval officer who was present said that it has for yearsbeen a popular expression in the service for a tool or implement, theexact name of which is unknown or has for the moment beenforgotten. I have also frequently heard it applied by motor-cycle

friends to the collection of fitments to be seen on motor cycles. In fact,to borrow from present-day Army slang, '__________' is applied to'any old thing.'

When X launched a round, self-adjusting thermostat built more like an iPhone than

an appliance, we didnt think wed seen anything like it. Y evidently, disagreed. The diversified technology and manufacturing company announced on Monday it issuing the startup over alleged infringement of seven of its thermostat techpatents.

The patents are, among other things, related to use of natural language, user

interfaces, a thermostats inner design, an electric circuit used to divert powerfrom the users home electrical system to provide power to a thermostat andcontrolling a thermostat with information stored in a remote location. The lawsuitalso names Best Buy, which sells the Thermostat.

From our iconic round thermostat to the first programmable and simple -to-use

touch screen thermostats, Y is known for setting the standard in home comfortand energy efficiency. said Beth Wozniak, the president of YEnvironmental andCombustion Controls, in a statement.

In December 2011, X apologized to 'Advanced Materials' a peer-reviewed journal,for reproducing text of other scientists in his research paper. His collaborator andthe other senior author of the paper S. B. Krupanidhi claims that the mistake wasmade by an IISc student, These sentences were part of the introduction of thepaper, which was written by our student, that neither of us (namely, the seniorauthors, X and Krupanidhi) paid attention to. He however clarified to the media

that no action would be taken against the student.On March 11, 2012, The Hindu published three more instances of plagiarism by X and

his collaborators.In a subsequent article in The Hindu on the same topic, a young theoretical physicist

from The Institute of Mathematical Sciences in Chennai, Dr. Rahul Siddharthan,pointed out other instances where papers published by X's group containplagiarized text. The article also criticizes X for passing the responsibility to hiscollaborators Krupanidhi and his student,while being the corresponding authorand last author (typically reserved for the senior author "who plans and conceivesthe experiment"). This incident also sparked widespread debate on why a seniorscientist should be a communicating author when that person has little personalinvolvement with the paper.

The number gained a degree of popular attention when Martin Gardnerdescribed it in the "Mathematical Games" section of Scientific American inNovember 1977, writing that, "In an unpublished proof, _____ hasrecently established ... a bound so vast that it holds the record for thelargest number ever used in a serious mathematical proof." The 1980Guinness Book of World Records repeated Gardner's claim, adding to the

popular interest in this number.X is unimaginably larger than other well-known large numbers such as a

googol, googolplex, and even larger than Skewes' number and Moser'snumber. Indeed, the observable universe is far too small to contain anordinary digital representation of X, assuming that each digit occupies at

least one Planck volume. Even power towers of the form are useless forthis purpose, although it can be easily described by recursive formulasusing Knuth's up-arrow notation or the equivalent, as was done by ______. The last ten digits of X are ...2464195387.

X, a new incubator to be based on a ship 12 miles off the California coast, willsee its first round of funding led by big-name investor Y.

The floating seastead will host 1,000 entrepreneurs just a few miles fromSan Francisco. Its main draw is its location in international waters aperfect, if temporary, solution for non-U.S. entrepreneurs looking for away to get closer to Silicon Valley.

The X team includes CEO Max Marty, the son of two Cuban immigrants andformer director at the Seasteading Institute (another Y-funded project);Dario Mutabdzija, also a former Seasteading Institute director; and DanDascalescu, formerly a software developer at Yahoo.

The ship will be a live-work-play barge or yacht within ferrying distance of SanFrancisco or Silicon Valley. Ideally, the team hopes to offer 24-hourcatering, a gym, entertainment areas, modern office spaces, shops andhigh-speed Internet access. Basic accommodations will cost around $1,200per person, per month a significant discount from what one mightexpect to pay to live in or near San Francisco.

The average valuation of a X-backed company, according to co-founder Paul Graham, is

$22.4 million.The program consists of weekly dinners where guests come to speak to the founders. Thedinners last for the duration of the three month program, but all founders have thelife-long ability to book office hours with the X venture partners.

At the end of the program X holds Demo Day, where top Silicon Valley angel investors andventure capital firms come to watch the companies present. Attending investorsrange from VC firms like Sequoia Capital to celebrity angel investors like AshtonKutcher.

The application process consists of a written application and a 10 minute in-personinterview where X flies the team members to Mountain View at X's expense of up to$600. While it's strongly recommended by the program for companies to have at leasttwo founders, single founders have also been funded in extremely rarecircumstances.

The acceptance rate is between 2.5% and 3.5%.Founder's pic in next slide who became famous in 1988 due to some shizz that he did for

An example of ______________, is the fraudulent practice of stealing moneyrepeatedly in extremely small quantities, usually by taking advantage of rounding to the nearest cent (or other monetary unit) in financialtransactions. It would be done by always rounding down, and putting thefractions of a cent into another account. The idea is to make the changesmall enough that any single transaction will go undetected.

__________ has played a key role in the plots of several films. The earliestmention of this practice was in the UK TV series The Sweeney , a 1976episode called "Tomorrow Man", of a man rounding up percentage pointsand putting the difference in his own account (totaling two milliondollars), using a computer.

In Y , Peter, Michael Bolton, and Samir Nagheenanajar decide to divert thesupposedly "rounded-off" portions of banking interest deposits afterMichael and Samir learn that they will be laid off. However, they end uptaking much more than the fractions of a cent because of a misplaceddecimal point.

In the 1820s X calculated that an object the size of the Earth, and at its distance from theSun, should be considerably colder than the planet actually is if warmed only by the

effects of incoming solar radiation. He examined various possible sources of theadditional observed heat in articles published in 1824 and 1827.While he ultimatelysuggested that interstellar radiation might be responsible for a large portion of theadditional warmth, X's consideration of the possibility that the Earth's atmospheremight act as an insulator of some kind is widely recognized as the first proposal of whatis now known as the _____________.In his articles X referred to an experiment by de

Saussure, who lined a vase with blackened cork. Into the cork, he inserted several panesof transparent glass, separated by intervals of air. Midday sunlight was allowed to enterat the top of the vase through the glass panes. The temperature became more elevatedin the more interior compartments of this device.X concluded that gases in theatmosphere could form a stable barrier like the glass panes. This conclusion may havecontributed to the later use of the metaphor of the '_________________' to refer tothe processes that determine atmospheric temperatures. X noted that the actualmechanisms that determine the temperatures of the atmosphere included convection,which was not present in de Saussure's experimental device.

________ is named for Henry Walter X, a British scientist who studied thisphenomenon in Amazonian butterflies during the mid- and late nineteenthcentury.It refers to two or more species that are similar in appearance, but only one of which is armed with spines, stingers, or toxic chemistry, while its apparent double

lacks these traits. The second species has no defense other than resembling theunpalatable species and is afforded protection from certain predators by itsresemblance to the unpalatable species, which the predator associates with acertain appearance and a bad experience.The close resemblance between certain harmless flies and stinging bees, and thesimilarity between the colored stripes of the nonpoisonous king snake and thoseof the highly venomous coral snake, are closely tied with this phenomenon.

This odd behaviour includesboxing at other animals of same species, jumping vertically for seemingly noreason and generally displaying abnormal behaviour.

An early verbal record of this animal's strange behaviour occurred in about 1500, inthe poem Blowbol's Test where the original poet said:

Thanne ey begyn to swere and to stare, And be as braynles as a _________

(Then they begin to swerve and to stare, And be as brainless as a ____________)

To which sheresponded, "Is that appropriate?". Later in the interview, Bartz became perturbedwith X's criticism of the Yahoo! business model of conglomeration rather thansingle revenue source producers. Bartz then responded to X saying, "you areinvolved in a very tiny company" and ended the exchange by telling him to "f**koff." Bartz received some support from bloggers for her response, including Guy

Kawasaki who stated, "I respect Carol Bartz even more now."

The X effect, also known as X-ing, occurs when a popular website links to a smallersite, causing a massive increase in traffic. This overloads the smaller site, causing itto slow down or even temporarily close. The name stems from the huge influx of

web traffic that results from the technology news site X linking to websites. Theeffect has been associated with other websites or metablogs such as Fark, DrudgeReport , Reddit, Twitter and Digg, leading to terms such as being Farked orDrudged , or being under the Reddit effect .

Major news sites or corporate websites are typically engineered to serve largenumbers of requests and therefore do not normally exhibit this effect. Websitesthat fall victim may be hosted on home servers, offer large images or movie files orhave inefficiently generated dynamic content (e.g. many database hits for everyweb hit even if all web hits are requesting the same page). These websites oftenbecome unavailable within a few minutes of a story's appearance, even before anycomments have been posted. Occasionally, paying X subscribers (who have accessto stories before non-paying users) have rendered a site unavailable even beforethe story is posted for the general readership.

By 2005, reporters were commenting that the X effect had been diminishing.However,there have been subsequent reports of the effect being seen on Twitter whensome popular twitterers mention a website.
