Question 1436: Amen ..
The name for the practice 'X' comes from the Latin for "knowing, in its complete meaning" and the Greek word for "study". 'X' comes to be defined as "the study and handling of the spirit in relationship to itself, universes, and other life."
In 1901, Allen Upward first coined the term "as a disparaging term, to indicate a blind, unthinking acceptance of scientific doctrine" although it is not evident that the present reference for the word was based on this first coinage.
Separately in 1934, philosopher Anastasius Nordenholz published a book that used the term to mean "science of science".
The symbol for 'X' resembles the Christian cross but has extra diagonal rays to represent the eight dynamics of 'X' (Self, Family, Society, Humankind, Life forms, Matter, Spirit, Infinity or Supreme being) as its eight points.

Question 1387: Cats and dogs
Juroon is an important pre-wedding ceremony native to the Indian state of Assam.
During this ceremony the groom’s mother gifts the bride with lots of
presents. This ceremony is an exclusive women affair, though some men
may be present.
A special canopy structure, called ‘morol,’ is built for the occasion using banana or mango leaves. On the day of the ceremony, the groom’s mother along with other female relatives visits the bride’s home. They are greeted by the bride’s mother, following which they are lead to the morol. The bride is summoned and asked to sit in front of the morol. She is gifted with presents by her future mother-in-law and other members of the groom’s family. The groom’s mother applies a ‘sindoor’ (vermillion powder) on the bride’s forehead while gifting her.
What is so unique about this ceremony only practiced in Assam?

Question 1319 : What?
A.
This dude's name means 'God will strengthen', literally 'to fasten upon,' figuratively 'strong,' and so figuratively 'The Almighty'.
B.
This is usually reserved for the best sluggers in baseball.
Connect all the above.
C.
The essence of C is "cutting" (kiru).This is often represented by the juxtaposition of two images or ideas and a kireji ("cutting word") between them, a kind of verbal punctuation mark which signals the moment of separation and colours the manner in which the juxtaposed elements are related.A kigo (seasonal reference), usually drawn from a saijiki, an extensive but defined list of such words. The majority of kigo, but not all, are drawn from the natural world. This, combined with the origins of C , has led to the inaccurate impression that C are necessarily related to nature.
Name the distinguishing characteristic of C
Connect A,B and C
Answer: A: Ezekiel B: 25, they all have the number 25 assigned to them. C: 17, the Japanese Haiku always has exactly 17 syllabus. Connect: Ezekiel 25:17, Jule's Bible passage from Pulp Fiction.
"The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the iniquities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who in the name of charity and goodwill shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee."
