Mega Connect

Connect the individual connects to one mega-connect.

1)Tell the Connect b/w pic and A :

O slender as a willow-wand!

O clearer than clear water!

O reed by the living pool!

Fair river-daughter!

O spring-time and summer-time, and spring again after!

O wind on the waterfall, and the leaves' laughter!
Old A is a merry fellow;

Bright blue his jacket is, and his boots are yellow.

2) TELL C

The gods Hermes, Ares, Apollo, and Hephaestus, had all wooed C, but Demeter rejected all their gifts and hid her daughter away from the company of the Olympian deities. Thus, C lived a peaceful life before she became the goddess of the underworld, which, according to Olympian mythographers, did not occur until Hades abducted her and brought her into the underworld. She was innocently picking flowers with some nymphs—, Athena, and Artemis, the Homeric hymn says—, or Leucippe, or Oceanids— in a field in Enna when Hades came to abduct her, bursting through a cleft in the earth; the nymphs were changed by Demeter into the Sirens for not having interfered. Life came to a standstill as the devastated Demeter, goddess of the Earth, searched everywhere for her lost daughter. Helios, the sun, who sees everything, eventually told Demeter what had happened.
Finally, Zeus, pressured by the cries of the hungry people and by the other deities who also heard their anguish, could not put up with the dying earth and forced Hades to return C. But before she was released to Hermes, who had been sent to retrieve her, Hades tricked her into eating pomegranate seeds, (seven, eight, or perhaps four according to the telling) which forced her to return to the underworld for a season each year.

3)Short and easy:

The term D is derived from the original name of the goddess D (also known as Dakshayani), who immolated herself because she was unable to bear her father Daksha's humiliation of her (living) husband Shiva.

4)Connect:

I. It is said that E was so old when he took a nap in a chair in the teachers’ lounge/staff room that he died in his sleep and simply got up to go to teach his next class and 'left his body behind'.

2)

____________is a former Australian cricketer who played in 7 Tests and 25 ODIs from 1993 to 1999.

Standing at 6' 5", he was a dangerous left-arm fast-medium bowler and a tremendously hard-hitting right-handed late-middle order batsman, he was regarded as a prospect to become an all-rounder. When on form, his bowling was particularly lethal, with the awkward angle of delivery being a left-armer, the natural swing, and the lift he generated from his great height. However, his bowling average was mediocre, comparable to part-time bowlers such as Mark Waugh and Steve Waugh. In batting, he was a destructive striker of the ball when on song.He had two short spells in the Australian Test team. His first stint was in the 1993 Ashes tour against England when he scored a gritty 56*, and secondly his tight and penetrative bowling spells in the history making West Indies tour of 1995 when in the absence of injured Craig McDermott and Damien Fleming, he and Paul Reiffel undertook new ball responsibilities.
He was a regular member of the One-day team during 1998 and 1999, being a member of the winning squad at the 1999 Cricket World Cup, despite being confined to the bench for the majority of the tournament. He was dropped after the tournament.


Connect is something distinctive about them(obviously!) ,but some other cricketers can also be connected to the connect,but they are not as famous as these.(relatively speaking),Try guesses,you might just get it.

New Question

1 ) Hinduism teaches that the soul goes on repeatedly being born and dying. One is reborn on account of desire: a person desires to be born because he or she wants to enjoy worldly pleasures, which can be enjoyed only through a body. Hinduism does not teach that all worldly pleasures are sinful, but it teaches that they can never bring deep, lasting happiness or peace (ānanda). This is a part of the statement of a popular concept .What ?
2 ) X comprises of snow and may comprise of rocks and boulders.It is of three common types namely -loose snow ,slab and isothermal.
A common myth about X is ,X can be triggered by shouting, but the truth is X cannot be triggered by sound as the forces exerted by the pressures in sound waves are far too low. The very large shockwaves produced by explosions can trigger X, however, if they are close enough to the surface.
What is X ?

Question

Connect the two pictures and the text below to give X:
X's metaphor of a readable book of life, a decipherable genetic code, might seem obvious now, but at the time this was a sensationally new concept. X viewed the genes in each cell as resembling offices that produce orderly events. "Since we know the power this tiny central office has in the isolated cell, do they not resemble stations of local government dispersed through the body, communicating with each other with great ease, thanks to the code that is common to all of them?" asked X.

"The notion that life might be perpetuated by means of an instruction book inscribed in a secret code appealed to me," Watson would later say. Watson went on to decipher the structure of DNA along with Crick. This notion was first voiced by X.

Question by me during genesis last year.

Question

This game, originally known as rochambeau violates the basic mathematical concept of transitivity, which states that for a transitive relation R, a R b and b R c implies a R c. Notions of "greater" or "lesser" follow from the ordering implied by the transitive relation.

What is this game?

This was made by Shayak Sen last year, and was in my opinion the best question of Genesis. I've changed some words here and there.

2)Facundo _____, a wine merchant, was born in Sitges (Catalonia, Spain) in 1814 and emigrated to Cuba in 1830. During this period, rum was cheaply made and not considered a refined drink, one rarely sold in upscale taverns. Don Facundo began attempting to "tame" rum. After experimenting with several techniques he hit upon filtering the rum through charcoal, which removed impurities. In addition to this, Facundo aged the rum in oak barrels, which had the effect of "mellowing" the drink. The final product was the first clear, or "white" rum in the world.
Emilio _______, eldest son of Don Facundo, was exiled from Cuba for having fought in the rebel army against Spain in the Cuban Independence War.After the Cuban War of Independence, and the American occupation of Cuba, "The Original Cuba Libre" and the Daiquiri were both born with ____ rum. In 1899, US- General Leonard Wood appointed Emilio _______ Mayor of Santiago de Cuba.
Bosch and other _______ family members initially supported the Cuban revolutionaries, including Fidel Castro and the broader M-26-7 movement: Bosch personally donated tens of thousands of dollars to the movement, and acted as an intermediary between the revolutionaries and the CIA to assuage the latter's concerns.Family members, employees and facilities were put to use by the movement, and the company supported the revolution publicly with advertisements and parties. But their support turned to opposition as the pro-Soviet Che Guevara wing of the movement began to dominate, and as Castro turned dictatorial
Fill the blank with one word.Sorry for the big essay.

3)X, the creator of the Y, has attributed the origins of Z to the 1963 Arthur Lipsett abstract film 21-87 which used samples from many sources.

"One of the audio sources Lipsett sampled for 21-87 [a film that had a great influence on X] was a conversation between artificial intelligence pioneer Warren S. McCulloch and Roman Kroitor , a cinematographer who went on to develop IMAX. In the face of McCulloch's arguments that living beings are nothing but highly complex machines, Kroitor insists that there is something more: 'Many people feel that in the contemplation of nature and in communication with other living things, they become aware of some kind of force, or something, behind this apparent mask which we see in front of us, and they call it God.'"
Tell X,Y and Z.
