  Bell XP-52
Among these was the Model 16, which the Bell company had developed some months earlier.
Bell was famous for submitting unconventional designs, and the Model 16 was no exception.
It had a round, barrel-shaped fuselage with the pilot seated in the nose and a 1250 hp Continental XIV-1430-5 liquid-cooled twelve-cylinder inverted vee engine mounted behind the pilot and driving a pair of contrarotating coaxial propellers operating in pusher fashion.

 Bell P-59 Airacomet
Some have suggested that Bell was chosen because, of all the primary aircraft manufacturers in the USA, it had the least work to do in building aircraft vital for the war effort.
At this time, Bell engineers were already hard at work on the XP-59 pusher, but work on this project was quietly abandoned in the next couple of months as work on the jet fighter got under way.
Bell engineers undertook some initial work on a single-engined version of the Airacomet, which was designated XP-59B (not to be confused with the P-59B).

 Hobbycraft 1/48 P-59A Airacomet
Bell was a company that wanted to push the edge of the envelope from its first designs.
Bell's response was the Model 16, which had a barrel-shaped fuselage with the pilot seated in the nose, powered by a 1250 hp Continental XIV-1430-5 liquid-cooled twelve-cylinder inverted vee engine driving contrarotating propellers in pusher fashion.
Bell agreed to build three aircraft and accepted a deadline of completing the first prototype eight months after signing the contract on September 30, 1941.

 On Microsoft Publisher and more : Save as XPS in Office “12”
The support for XPS output in Office “12” goes beyond what is typically passed to a printer, including the supporting information to enable, for example, working hyperlinks, searching, efficient representation of transparency and gradients, accessible documents, and document rights when the source document has restricted IRM rights.
XPS, Office System applications, and Microsoft's software development APIs in general must come to the forefront of innovation by supporting large formats used for CAD enabling CAD to become 'webified' without the unneccessary spectre of crippleware and golden handcuffs imposed by a single vendor.
XPS is an XML reprentation of paginated output, and while it does not contain as much information as the roundtrippable XML document formats, it may still be appropriate for importing into the other program you mention.

Bell Model 11 -- This was one of several Bell proposals in response to the 1939 Army fighter request for proposals (the other responses would lead to the P-39 Airacobra).
Bell XP-52 -- This proposal was made to the Air Corp in response to their solicitation for advanced and unconventional aircraft.
Bell had offered other proposals based on the Lycoming XH-2470 and the Continental I-1530-5 engines which have been incorrectly cited by some as the intended powerplants for the XP-52.

The Bell X-1, originally XS-1 was the first aircraft to exceed the speed of sound in controlled, level flight.
While her basic form was patterned on a.50 cal bullet, it is not widely known the X-1 owes a great deal of its design to the Miles M-52, a British jet powered design dating back to 1942.
Honored at the White House by President Truman were Larry Bell for Bell Aircraft, Captain Yeager for piloting the flights, and John Stack of NACA for the NACA contributions.

The existence of the nation's first jet-powered aircraft was concealed by identifying it with the XP-59A, a designation already assigned to a proposed twin-boom pusher propeller-driven aircraft that had failed to meet development requirements.
Bell Aircraft Corporation was chosen to build the airframe.
Kotcher was convinced that the speed of sound (Mach 1, approximately 760 mph at sea level) was not a "barrier" to future flight, but rather a physical condition that could be overcome with careful design.

 MSF Agile Hopes and Dreams
When XP started gaining a lot of public eye, it was often called a "lightweight" methodology - stemming from the conspicuous absence of voluminous documentation (in favor of working software as a means of communication).
Sooner or later, as folks began to see that XP (and other agile) practices were often more rigorous than the development practices found in traditional methodologies, and the "lightweight" moniker seemed to fade.
XP exists, partly, to fulfill the need for development process that brings practices that are as rigorous in regards to cutting code as the practices the support analysis and planning.

 Senator targets Windows XP - Jul. 24, 2001
Charles Schumer of New York also asked Microsoft to delay the release of Windows XP, currently set for Oct. 25, and urged the state attorneys general involved in the case to seek a court order blocking the release until the anticompetitive questions are addressed.
"If we wait too long, Windows XP will be out, and smaller companies that don't have the leverage or financing of Microsoft will be forced into years of litigation that alone could drive them out of business," Schumer said.
He said he believes Microsoft's broader strategy with Windows XP is to use the operating system as a tool through which it can unfairly displace competing computer software with its own.

The Bell P-59A Airacomet makes its first flight at Muroc, Calif. It’s the first turbojet flight for the United States.
Virgil I. “Gus” Grissom was the first Air Force astronaut to orbit in a spacecraft, the Liberty Bell 7, in 1961.
Designed in great secrecy during the early part of World War II, the Airacomet was first tested on a remote corner of Muroc Army Air Base, Calif. Never operational as a fighter, the aircraft nevertheless provided a great deal of useful experience for later designs.

Piloted by Bell Aircraft's test pilot Robert Stanley, the XP-59A made its first flight on October 1, 1942, under top secret conditions over the sands at Murdock Dry Lake (now Edwards Air Force Base), California.
The XP-59A wasn't the first jet-powered aircraft (the British Gloster Meteor and the German Me-262 came earlier), but it was one of the more successful of the early jets and entered active service with the U.S. Air Force after World War II, with a total of 50 having been built.

 exponential XP growth rate in RPGs? - GameDev.Net Discussion Forums
But the XP from monsters goes less exponential, so the difficulty is still growing exponentially :)
Posted - 6/10/2005 12:49:07 PM FFX-2 appears to be approximately exponential - playing through with 2 characters geting double exp (courtesy of Key to Success) from the first opportunity (something like 17 EXP in) the remaining character consistently lagged about 10-12 levels behind up to level 60 or so (as far as I played).
FF8 uses a constant XP/level, which made it take longer to level up initially, but makes the last few dozen levels fly by (there are places where each fight is approximately 1 level's worth of XP per character).
