    Contrary to the chronology shown in a recent hit movie , event

    A actually takes place after event B .

    Event A takes place in the last Wednesday in August, while

    Event B takes place every year from July6-14. Consequently, while going from Event B to Event A might be

    possible, the reverse would not quite work.

    Event A originated from a street fight near a handy grocery

    store. Following several years of disagreement on whether EventA should be allowed to occur or not, and several gap years in

    the middle on that account, the event has been happening

    continuously since 1959.

    Event B originates pursuant to a hurrying tactic by merchantsheading to the market place for sale, and the local name of the

    event literally means to lock/shut up, to pen. What are Events

    A and B?

    17. Death by X is a term used as a criticism of the

    overuse ofX which causes a state of boredom andfatigue induced by information overload.

    It is argued that X is a convenient prop for poor

    speakers, it can reduce complicated messages tosimple points and it elevates style over substance; and

    that these three things contribute to its popularity.

    In fact, there is an Anti X party in Switzerland

    dedicated to decrease professional use ofX and othersimilar tools, which the party claims "causes national-

    economic damage amounting to 2.1 billion CHF" and

    lowers the quality in 95% of the cases.

    20. In writing this X had been thinking of Buonaparte, but Buonaparte while he

    was First Consul.

    At that time X had the highest esteem for him and compared him to the

    greatest consuls of ancient Rome. Not only I, but many ofXs closer friends,

    saw this _______on his table, beautifully copied in manuscript, with the

    word "Buonaparte" inscribed at the very top of the title-page and X at the

    very bottom.

    I was the first to tell him the news that Buonaparte had declared himself

    Emperor, whereupon he broke into a rage and exclaimed, "So he is no more

    than a common mortal! Now, too, he will tread under foot all the rights of

    man, indulge only his ambition; now he will think himself superior to all men,

    become a tyrant!

    X went to the table, seized the top of the title-page, tore it in half and threw

    it on the floor. The page had to be re-copied and it was only now that the

    ________ received the title "Sinfonia eroica."
