The name Cumbrae may derive from Cymri or Kymry meaning 'fellow countrymen' or from Kil Maura meaning 'cell or church of a female saint'.

Id X
Scream all you want, bub. No one's going to hear you!
Also, connect X and the picture, you fashionable people.
4 points for X and 10 if you get both.
Ok not really, but that must've got all nerds (if Nihar is still alive after the shock, he should post a question in the evening,lol).
But this picture was released as part of a digital campaign by Alicia Keyes for her ___X___ campaign, which is against ___Y___. Other A-list celebs ( are they?) like Usher, Justin Timberlake, Serena Williams and more are taking part in the “Digital Sacrifice” campaign by signing off of social media platforms twitter and facebook (now if Nihar posts a question, i shall be shocked) on World __Y__ Day. They will log back on once 1 million dollars is raised by the charity.
According to reports, each celeb has also filmed “last tweet and testament” videos and will appear in ads showing them lying in coffins.
“It’s so important to shock you to the point of waking up”, says Alicia Keys of the campaign. “It’s not that people don’t care or it’s not that people don’t want to do something, it’s that they never thought of it quite like that. This is such a direct and instantly emotional way and a little sarcastic, you know, of a way to get people to pay attention.
Leigh Blake, President of ___X__, added “We’re trying to sort of make the remark: Why do we care so much about the death of one celebrity as opposed to millions and millions of people dying in the place that we’re all from?”
Back after unpopular demand, and the fact that we're going crazy trying to find my books, Nihar & I will be posting questions sporadically till March.
We'll be alternating a question a day, on every alternate day
Been sitting on this question for quite some time now, decided to post it whilst its still fresh on the net, if not the mind

The new law of evolution in corporate America seems to be survival of the unfittest. Well, in my book you either do it right or you get eliminated.
