Some qns to keep the donkey alive

1.Until recently the German town of Herzogenaurach was divided into two bitter camps. ''There were always the ones who supported X and others favoring Y,'' said Hans Lang, mayor of the town. An X employee put it more brutally: ''You would be fired immediately if you showed up in Y. So strict is the line that locals claim even marriages between X and Y families were rare until the 1970s. Until the 1980s, children usually chose to join the firm where their father already worked, separating the city into X and Y families who visited their own pubs or played for their clubs. Explain.

2.X originally was a short story by Y that tells the story of Z attending a boring dinner party at the Government House in Nassau with a group of socialites he can't stand. While the story does not include action elements, as other Y tales do, it attempts to posit that Z’s adventures pale in comparison with real life drama.

3.______ was born in Hungary moved to the US in 1913 with his parents.He became professor of physics at Marquette University in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The original system used for something was developed in 1950 by Kenneth Harkness. By 1960, using the data developed through the Harkness Rating System, _____ developed his own formula which had a sound statistical basis and constituted an improvement on the Harkness System. The new rating system was approved and in 1960. In 1970 the governing body also agreed to adopt the _____ Rating System. Id the guy and for what the rating system is used.

4.He's every employee's worst nightmare. He wasn't born mean and unscrupulous, he worked hard at it. And succeeded. As for stupidity, well, some things are inborn. His top priorities are the bottom line and looking good in front of his subordinates and superiors (not necessarily in that order). Of absolutely no concern to him is the professional or personal well-being of his employees. He is technologically challenged but he stays current on all the latest business trends, even though he rarely understands them

5.In ancient China coins were circular with a rectangular hole in the middle. Several coins could be strung together on a rope. Merchants in China, if they became rich enough, found that their strings of coins were too heavy to carry around easily. To solve this problem they did something that evolved into a first of its kind in history.Id?
