Bully Kutta

The Bully Kutta is a type of large dog that originated in the Indian subcontinent, dating back to the 16th century. The Bully Kutta is a working dog used for hunting and guarding. The type is popular in the Punjab region of India and Pakistan, including Haryana and Delhi, as well as in Maharashtra and Tamil Nadu.

Name and description
Bully Kutta literally translates to "heavily wrinkled dog". The word "Bully" comes from the root word of the Hindustani and Punjabi languages "Bohli" which means heavily wrinkled. "Kutta" means dog in the Hindi-Urdu language.

The Sindhi mastiff resembles the mastiff, and is notable for its hardiness and size. The colour is black and white with some red in places. The tail curls up and is long.

History
The Bully Kutta originated in the Indian subcontinent, either in the Thanjavur and Tiruchi districts of Madras or the Sind region of medieval India. In Thanjavur, the Bully Kutta was a favorite pet of ruling families. The Mughal emperor Akbar owned a Bully Kutta, which he used for hunting.

The Second International Dog Show at Islington Agricultural Hall, held on 28 May 1864 in London, showcased the Indian Mastiff among several other dog breeds. The previous year, Edward, the Prince of Wales, and Princess Alexandra, entered an Indian Mastiff in the same show, along with a Newfoundland, Russian Tracker and two Borzois. In 1884, Littell's Living Age said that historically, a "large Indian mastiff" was employed by kings "in the chase of wild beasts".

Temperament
Bully Kuttas have been described as intelligent, alert, responsive, energetic and aggressive. A well-known veterinarian Dr. L.N. Gupta from Agra, India has stated that Bully Kuttas are a dominating canine and should only be handled by well-experienced owners.

Use as a fighting dog
Bully Kuttas have been illegally used for dog fighting in India and Pakistan, including areas such as Delhi, Gurugram, and Noida. In June 2018, police in Indian Punjab filed First Information Report (FIR) for the first time against organizers of a dog fight. Many non-profit organizations are now working against illegal fighting and creating awareness among the people.

Popularity
The Bully Kutta is popular in the Punjab region of India and Pakistan. In India, breeders from Punjab, Haryana, Rajasthan, Tamil Nadu, and Maharashtra focusing on scientific breeding of this dog under the guidelines of Indian Mastiff Registry. They have been part of many competitions in India. According to the Times of India, it has importance among Indian youth of having a macho image.

The Indian National Kennel Club, along with the Indian Mastiff Registry, recognizes this breed officially.

 * My guess, User:70.49.221.122, is that this is the first time you have come to the Wikipedia, and that therefore you are not acquainted with our terminology or our deletion policy. If so, welcome! I'd like to comment on the points you bring up:

The reason I have spent time writing this is because I want you to understand that the deletion of the article is not a personal attack against your website.

 * 1) Your original history seemed to claim that the group first formed on a MuggleNet sub-forum, 'December 1969', but you probably know more about this than me.
 * 2) In Wikipedia, calling an article or information within an article vanity means that the information looks like it promotes the interests of the person who wrote it. It does not mean your site is 'vain' but that there seems to be a conflict of interest in the person who wrote it. The basic principle is, "Could you see this article being in a print encyclopaedia?" d69ers.com doesn't chart within the top 100,000 websites on Alexa.com - this is only one point of reference, but it suggests that your site is just not widely known enough to be included in a general encyclopaedia like Wikipedia. See Vanity guidelines.
 * 3) Quoting from Votes for deletion/Precedents, "Communities, message boards and blogs are generally not notable". Can you provide verifiable proof from sources outside your website that it is particularly infamous? Verifiability is important - although infamy was claimed in the article, it was not exactly verifiable.

As is said at the bottom of every editing page on Wikipedia, "By submitting your work you promise you wrote it yourself, or copied it from public domain resources." It was not clear whether the history to which you are referring was added by the person who wrote it, so without explicit permission, it could not be included here.

Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information, which means that we try to make sure that the information in this encyclopaedia is accurate, verifiable and unbiased.

John Silvester (blacksmith)

John Silvester (1652 – 5 May 1722) held the Lordship of Birthwaite and Kexborough, near Barnsley, then in the West Riding of Yorkshire, which he bought from Sir Francis Burdett in the late 16th or early 17th century. He was responsible for the construction of a school in the village of Kexborough.

He was a blacksmith at the Tower of London and is said to have constructed a chain that was to be drawn across the width of the river Thames in case of invasion, particularly that of an anticipated Dutch Fleet invasion.

first American officer killed by German fire on D-Day??
Isn't it highly unlikely that an 82nd paratrooper (Robert P. Mathias) was the first casualty of D-day? As I understand, mission Albany (101st drop) started at around 00.48hrs whilst mission Boston (82nd drop) started about one hour later at around 01.51hrs. As the 101st airborne divison also suffered many casualties during their flight and drop it is more likely a 101st trooper / officer is the first American killed on D-Day.

Saratoga Spa State Park

Saratoga Spa State Park is a 2379 acre state park located in Saratoga County, New York in the United States. The park is in the City of Saratoga Springs, near US 9 and NY 50.

The grounds contain mineral springs, classical bath and spa houses, and the Saratoga Performing Arts Center.

History

The area, part of which became the park, drew interest from Mohawk and Iroquois Native American tribes for its hunting and mineral springs. The Native American name for the area was Kayaderosseras. The first recorded use of the springs was by Sir William Johnson during the French and Indian War, who was brought to Saratoga to recover from wounds.

In the 19th century, the area became much visited for its purported medicinal effects. Entrepreneurs dug wells and bottled the mineral water for sale and gas companies sold the carbonation to soda fountains. In 1907, the stage was set to protect the springs in a lawsuit Frank Hathorn vs. Dr. Strong's Sanitarium, which showed that pumping on one well decreased the flow of water in wells across the city. The court certified the relationship between wells and when Dr. Strong stopped pumping, the flow of water in Mr. Hathorn's well resumed its natural flow. In 1908, as the springs were being depleted, the New York Assembly passed an injunction against pumping water; however the injunction was ignored. In 1909, governor Charles Evans Hughes signed into law a bill that made the springs of Saratoga a state reservation.

In the 1930s, Reconstruction Finance Corporation funds were used to develop bath houses, research facilities and a drink hall. The Saratoga Reservation was designed with graded walkways intended to help rehabilitate those with heart conditions. After World War II veterans were welcomed as part of their readjustment and Holocaust survivors began using the baths as part of their healing process.

The spa was named a state park in 1962. It was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1987, for its natural and architectural features, and for its role as the subject of early conservation measures.

In 2007, it was confirmed by state officials that the reportedly "pure" mineral water used in the public baths at the state park was actually mixed with tap water from a nearby source.

Springs

Though the creek in the park is called Geyser Creek, Saratoga Springs area does not feature actual geysers. In Geysers, water is forced from underground by heat related to seismic activity. Instead, Saratoga's "spouters" spring up due to the pressure of pockets of carbonic gas trapped beneath deep layers of shale. The famous mineral springs arise from fissures in the Saratoga Fault, which runs 65 mi from Whitehall to Albany. The carbonated water that vents in springs and geysers is rich in minerals and salts.

Two of the most visited springs today are Geyser Island Spouter and Orenda Spring, along Geyser Creek. Geyser Island Spouter, which sends a narrow plume of water 10 to 15 ft into the air, first emerged in the early 1900s. Since that time, it has deposited minerals that grow a tufa deposit at the rate of 2 in per year. Orenda Spring has created a massive tufa dome, which continues to fossilize leaves and other debris as it grows.

Springs in operation

 * Hathorn
 * Orenda
 * Hayes
 * Charlie
 * Geyser Island
 * State Seal
 * Polaris
 * Lincoln (Baths)
 * Shonts
 * Tallulah
 * Karista

Venues and museums

The park hosts theater and other events. The Saratoga Performing Arts Center, located on the state park grounds, has been the summer home of the Philadelphia Orchestra and New York City Ballet since 1966. The SPAC Amphitheater is 110 ft high, sits in a natural, curved bowl bordered by large pine trees. The amphitheater has seating for 5,100 and the lawn can hold an additional 25,000 people.

The park contains the Spa Little Theater, which hosts plays throughout the year. The Spa Little Theater is located on the north side of the park office.

The park is also home to the National Museum of Dance and Hall of Fame, the Saratoga Automobile Museum, the Lincoln Mineral Baths and Spa, and the Gideon Putnam Resort & Spa.

Recreation

Saratoga Spa State Park offers a variety of recreational opportunities, some of which require small admission fees.

Several pools are available at the park. The "Peerless Pool" is a complex of three pools, including a children's pool, water slides, and a zero depth entry Olympic-sized swimming pool. The "Victoria Pool" is a smaller pool located near the golf course and surrounded by covered arcades. It was built when the original park buildings were constructed. The bath house was on the north end and the golf house was on the south end. Today the former golf house has been converted to a restaurant.

The park also has tennis courts, two golf courses, picnic areas, horseshoe pits, softball fields, and volleyball courts. Several picnic pavilions are equipped with electricity and all have nearby restrooms.

A stretch of Geyser Creek is located in the park and offers opportunities for fishing. Trails for hiking and snowshoeing are also found within the park. The park hosts ice skating in the winter and interpretive programs throughout the year. It also hosts the annual New York State Section 2 Cross Country Championships.

 * Other units may not have unique names, "502nd PIR" is. Do we have to?  Beanbatch 21:25, 29 August 2005 (UTC)
 * 502nd PIR is today 502nd Infantry Regiment. There are no longer any units that are uniquely "Parachute" units. All Special Operations units use Parachute Insertion as just one more means of Vertical Envelopment.

CORNELIUSSEON 14:48, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

 * The Deuce and the 506th are the only two of the 5-series parachute infantry regiments of WWII that is on active duty but has no personnel on jump status. Those that are (the 501st up in Alaska, 503rd in Vincenza, 504th, 505th, and 508th at Bragg, 507th at the school, '09th at JRTC) use their original WWII title "Parachute Infantry Regiment." Might not be 100 percent correct, but no one from the Chief of Staff on down calls them out on it. Being a longtime member ('00-'09) of the 502nd, we don't use the PIR title. Well, except once around '07 when I was in S-3 and redid the stock letterhead on a memo that ended up all the way to Brigade and back without anyone noticing.WiseguyThreeOne (talk) 16:05, 21 November 2011 (UTC)

Colin Powell
Just to tell you, I am a soldier in the 502nd Infantry Regiment. I know our former commanders. Colin Powel was one of them. Please stop removing his name from the article. CMAN 10:43, 21 February 2006 (EST)

 * I've found two links that place Powell in command of the 2nd Brigade, U.S. 101st Airborne Division: Lucid Cafe and Thomson-Gale's black history pages(puts it in 1976, which makes sense with his date of rank). I own a copy of his autobiography, so will try to remember to look up what he says himself. Perhaps both Cman and SSgt Seon could weigh in on whether commanding the brigade is the same as commanding the regiment (with the Combat Arms Regimental System, I am at a loss). --Habap 17:48, 21 February 2006 (UTC)

 * Yes, a brigade and a regiment are size-wise about the same thing. The main difference is that cavalry units refer to their brigades as regiments. ⇒    SWAT Jester   [[Image:Flag_of_Iceland.svg|18px|]]  Ready    Aim    Fire!  21:16, 21 February 2006 (UTC)

 * I briefly checked his book and he stated that he took command of the Brigade. I didn't read it exhaustively, so I am uncertain if he was also commanding the regiment. I don't know if the regiment had a separate command element or if the Brigade commander was also considered the 502d's Regimental commander. So, I am still very uncertain whether he was actually the CO of the 502d. --Habap 15:07, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

You would be correct. He was the brigade commander. There is no regimental commander. ⇒   SWAT Jester     Ready    Aim    Fire!  15:39, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

 * That's what I thought. I have revised the entry in a way I felt appropriate.... --Habap 22:06, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

The way it works is this: the Headquarters company for the brigade is HHC 502nd Infantry Regiment. Even though it is called 2nd Brigade, it is actually 502nd Inf Regiment at heart. User:cman\cman 10;01, 9 March (EST)

 * Is that why the sign outside says "HHC 2 BCT"? mcornelius (talk) 18:32, 29 August 2009 (UTC)

 * The battalions in the infantry brigades in the 101st are all the same regiment, i.e. 1/502d, 2/502d, and 3/502d. It's one of the few places in the army still like that. Most brigades will have battalions all with different parent regiments. Whether the brigade commander is the symbolic regimental commander I don't know, but his title is brigade commander.--Nobunaga24 09:36, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

Brigade/Regiment/Group are usually defined as units consisting multiple battalions with a force size between 1500 and 3200 personnel. Brigades = Infantry and support entities such as the Signal Brigade, etc., Regiments = Armor/Cavalry, Group = Special Forces and Rangers. Brigade/Regiment Commander are the same position in the infantry brigades in the 101st. I have no evidence, but theorize that the three brigades in the 101st Airborne Division, 187th, 327th and 502nd, are referred to as regiments because of their Air Assault missions.

 * Well, 2nd Brigade of the 101st has 1-502 IN, 2-502 IN, and 1-75 CAV. They're regiments for purposes of unit honors.  There is typically no such thing as a regimental commander, or when there it is, it is an honorary position, nothing more. mcornelius (talk) 18:41, 29 August 2009 (UTC)

Colin Powell's picture used to hang on the wall at the Brigade HQ building (1996) with all past Brigade Commanders. It's pretty much standard to do that, so I suspect it is still there. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bostondolf (talk • contribs) 18:36, 6 November 2008 (UTC)

I confirm that Colin Powell's photo is still up in the 2 BDE HQ building as of 12 JUL 09. He commanded 2 BDE (502nd Infantry Regiment) from March 1976 - July 1977. Dieterichg (talk) 07:08, 12 July 2009 (UTC)

 * I remember looking at all those damn pictures of former commanders when on CQ or SD. Some things I miss. Some things I don't.mcornelius (talk) 18:41, 29 August 2009 (UTC)

The problem is when then-COL Powell had the Brigade, the 2nd Brigade lineup was 1/501, 1/502, and 1/506. 2/502 was still in 1st Brigade as it had been since before Vietnam, and 3/502 didn't reactivate until '84 using the assets and personnel of 1/506 when the "Curahee's" colors went to Korea to give 2ID one of its two air assault battalions. Colonel Jones, while he was the Honorary Colonel of the Regiment, only considered the "Colonels of the Regiment" to be those officers who commanded the 502nd PIR in WWII then the post-'84 regimentally organized 2nd Brigade. So while COL Powell commanded the 2nd Brigade, he didn't command the 502nd Regiment.WiseguyThreeOne (talk) 01:13, 20 March 2012 (UTC)

2nd Battalion in Operation Iraqi Freedom
I removed this entire section. Not only was it overlong and poorly written for WP, it hadn't had a single citation added to it since it was "written" in Aug 2007. If something in Op: Iraqi Freedom happened that was notable, verifiable and related to the 502IR, please add it. 71.234.215.133 (talk) 07:40, 30 January 2011 (UTC)

 * Between On Point by the Army's Center for Military History and Along the Tigris written by then-SPC Tom Day of the Division public affairs section and published by Schiffer Historical after he left the Army, what we did can be pretty accurately tracked and footnoted. Once I finish un f***ing the WWII section, I'll get to it. Besides, I was there at the time.WiseguyThreeOne (talk) 08:04, 10 December 2013 (UTC)

Other Battles and Who did more...
Is it really necessary to chest bump with other Brigades on Wikipedia? Maybe a line reading something to the effect of, while Col. Tom Hill's 1st Brigade was the lead Brigade, only 2nd Brigade took part in all three actions. This rather than the rampant fanyboyism talking about one upping other Brigades. The section referred to is- "Even though the 1st Brigade (327th Infantry Regiment) was the "lead" at Cobra, the 502nd was 25% of that historical movement. We have 1st Brigade "one upped" because we were involved in all three major movements of the division. Hafar al-Batin Cobra Viper The 502nd is the "ONLY" brigade that can lay claim to all three. Col. Tom Hill's 1st Brigade was not involved at Hafar al-Batin or Viper."

I'd like to think we can be a little more professional than that on something that a lot of people are reading and judging the Army by. 24.156.84.222 (talk) 07:11, 25 March 2011 (UTC)

Clean up
I am going to do my best to clean this up and work on inline citations. Right now it is a bunch of copy paste from unit web pages. EricSerge (talk) 00:11, 31 January 2013 (UTC)

 * I concur. I tried to build on your work but more needs to be done.Ocalafla (talk) 20:27, 30 May 2013 (UTC)

 * I'm adding inline cites to the Regimental history I wrote and turned in to COL Hickman for Week of the Eagles 2007. Not to inflate my ego, but it's better than what's up there now for the WWII portion. I'll get that up and patched together first, then work on the rest of it. Since I finished my master's and started getting divorced, I need a hobby to cut down on my porn habit anyway.WiseguyThreeOne (talk) 07:53, 10 December 2013 (UTC)

Separate Battalion Sections
To be honest, the more I look at this page I think it's stupid, it doesn't need them, and the activities of the various battalions can be dealt with in the chronological sections.

I could see a separate section for the activities of the 502nd-flagged days of the Berlin Brigade, but that will mainly involve linking to that article. Anyone have any thoughts?WiseguyThreeOne (talk) 22:48, 11 December 2013 (UTC)

How can this disaster, the blooodiest day for this regiment, not be mentioned? Paul, in Saudi (talk) 09:05, 30 March 2014 (UTC)

Look under the Regimental Realignment heading. I haven't blown it out to a full section of its own yet because I'm busy packing the ex's stuff with the divorce. 72.171.0.144 (talk) 01:28, 8 April 2014 (UTC)

War crimes
The history of the regiment is not complete without a reference to war crimes in Iraq.Royalcourtier (talk) 00:38, 14 June 2014 (UTC)

I agree, it seems like WiseGuyThreeOne is a former member of the 502nd and wishes to whitewash the unit's history. The only reference to the incident is in the notable members section — Preceding unsigned comment added by 60.241.18.30 (talk) 09:52, 28 January 2015 (UTC)

Whitewash the history, my ass. I was in Iraq with the regiment when that shit happened, and I thought Steven Green should have ended up in front of a fucking firing squad. While I admit I have fallen off my original intent of writing a definitive encyclopedic history of the unit, I plan on going into the Yusifiyah murder case in some detail using Jim Fredrick's excellent "Black Hearts" as a reference. WiseguyThreeOne (talk) 03:24, 27 August 2015 (UTC)
 * I added links to the main article about it.--Savonneux (talk) 17:23, 7 August 2016 (UTC)

Translation
What does this mean "in order to move home in a more convenient fashion, the 101st largely drew down in Vietnam, and it was a skeletal unit that came back"? I don't know what the first part even means. "Move home in a more convenience fashion...drew down...skeletal unit". All are unclear and/or colloquial expressions that could be better converted to standard English.Royalcourtier (talk) 00:41, 14 June 2014 (UTC)

Destroy All Monsters (band)

Destroy All Monsters was an influential Detroit rock band existing from 1973 to 1985, with sporadic performances since. Their music touched on elements of punk rock, psychedelic rock, heavy metal and noise rock with a heavy dose of performance art. Their music was described by Lester Bangs as "anti-rock". They earned a measure of notoriety due to members of The Stooges and MC5 joining the band, and Sonic Youth singer/guitarist Thurston Moore compiling a three compact disc set of the group's music in 1994.

Early years
Formed in 1973, the first edition of Destroy All Monsters was formed by University of Michigan art students Mike Kelley, Jim Shaw, Niagara, and filmmaker Cary Loren. They performed in the Ann Arbor area from 1973–1976, and their only release was a one-hour cassette of their recordings available only through Lightworks magazine. Their early music was influenced by Sun Ra, Velvet Underground, ESP-Disk, monster movies, beat culture and futurism. Their sound was experimental, abrasive, psychedelic, darkly humorous and droning.

On New Year's Eve of 1973, the first Destroy All Monsters concert was held at a comic book convention in Ann Arbor, Michigan. At the time the instruments were two guitars with an echoplex and fuzz box, a drum kit played by Mission of Burma's Roger Miller, tape loops, a violin, a sax, a vacuum cleaner and a coffee can. They performed a demented version of Black Sabbath's "Iron Man" and were asked to leave after ten minutes. The group performed "guerilla style", setting up free at parties and playing for food along Ann Arbor's frat row. They used modified instruments, a drum machine, tape loops, toys, cheap keyboards and broken electronic devices. Aside from the comic convention, the group's only formal gig in this era was at the Halloween Ball at the University of Michigan art school in 1976.

Kelley and Shaw left the band during the summer of 1976 to attend graduate school at CalArts in Los Angeles, California. Both have gone on to lead successful solo careers in the art world. Their work is held in major collections around the world.

New personnel
In 1977, Niagara and Loren recruited guitarist Larry Miller and saxophonist Ben Miller; both had been in the short-lived Sproton Layer (as drummer and guitarist respectively) with their brother Roger Miller (who later went on to co-found Mission of Burma). They invited Mike (Jett) Powers on bass but he soon left for Harvard University. Not long after, members of two important Detroit-based groups signed on: guitarist Ron Asheton, earlier of The Stooges, and bass guitarist Michael Davis of the MC5. Their presence garnered the group more attention than ever before. Shortly thereafter, Ron asked drummer Rob King to join the band (replacing Roger Miller, who had filled the spot on a temp basis).

In 1978, Destroy All Monsters were preparing to release "Bored", their first official recording, when the group began to really accelerate. Niagara by then ended her relationship with Loren in favor of a new relationship with Asheton; Loren quickly was fired from the group. Soon after the Miller brothers also left after the DAM's Halloween show at Eastern Michigan University, in 1978. The "Bored"/"You’re Gonna Die" single earned major attention in the UK music press, and a major 35 gig tour of the U.K. followed and the band was able to capitalize on the notoriety.

Later developments and reunion
Niagara and Ron Asheton continued touring and recording with Michael Davis releasing a total of four 7" singles on the IDBI label. Between 1982 and 1984, Destroy All Monsters toured nationally. Personnel: Rob King on drums, Mike Davis on bass, Ron Asheton on guitar, and Niagara on vocals. DAM made friends with the Ramones and Dead Boys during this period. The three bands would take turns opening for each other in New York, Detroit and Philadelphia shows.  DAM became the house band for Second Chance (Ann Arbor) and Bookies (Detroit) during these early Punk times.  In May 1983, the band recorded and videotaped a song called "Make Mine Japanese." Released in December 1983, this video can now be seen on-line. The Monsters broke up in 1985. The DAM singles were released by Cherry Red Records on CD.

In 1994, Mike Kelley, Cary Loren, Byron Coley and Thurston Moore compiled a three-CD boxed set of DAM music, artwork and extensive liner notes as Destroy All Monsters: 1974–1976 on Moore's Ecstatic Peace! label.

The original lineup (Kelley, Loren, Niagara and Shaw) reformed for reunion shows in 1995 at the Magic Bag in Detroit, Spaceland in Los Angeles, and Bodies in San Diego. Six issues of Destroy All Monsters Magazine (1976–1979) were edited by Cary Loren and published with added DAM student artwork, flexi disc and history in the book Destroy All Monsters: Geisha This (1995). Four VHS tapes of DAM films directed by Loren were also issued between 1995-1996; Grow Live Monsters, Clear Day, Shake a LIzard Tail or Rust Belt Rump and Strange Früt: Rock Apochrypha. An exhibition of DAM artwork was shown in 1995 at the Book Beat gallery. A live CD, Silver Wedding Anniversary, resulted from the reunion concerts and was released in 1996 on the Sympathy for the Record Industry label and included performance highlights from the reunion shows.

In 1996, the group performed in Tokyo and Osaka, Japan. A display of DAM artwork was held at the Deep Gallery in Tokyo. DAM soon began work on the installation and film known as Strange Früt: Rock Apochrypha, an investigation of Detroit culture. This exhibition was first shown at "I Rip You, You Rip Me" festival, a series of exhibitions, performances, symposiums, and workshops examining the radical subculture and music scene of Detroit in the late sixties and early seventies, and was held at the Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen in Rotterdam and Nighttown, curated by artists Ben Schot and Ronald Cornelissen. Strange Früt: Rock Apochrypha was exhibited at and completed in 2000 at COCA (Center on Contemporary Art) in Seattle, WA., and at Artists Take On Detroit (2001) exhibition held at the Detroit Institute of Arts. This work was also selected for inclusion in the 2002 Whitney Biennial of Art in NYC.

In 2006, the Strange Früt exhibition and the band's archives traveled to the Magasin Center for Contemporary Art in Grenoble, France. DAM performed at the All Tomorrow's Parties festivals in Los Angeles as guest artists of Sonic Youth, and in London, UK as guest artists selected by Dino and Jake Chapman. A selection of the band's archives was on exhibition as part of the Theater Without Theater show at MACBA in Barcelona, Spain opening May 25, 2007. The exhibit traveled to Lisbon, Portugal in the fall of that year.

Since 1995, the band has released five full-length CDs on their own label(s) [The End is Here]: Radio Teardrop (1996), Backyard Monster Tube and Pig (1998), Swamp Gas (2001), and on [Compound Annex]: Detroit Oratorio (2003), Destroy All Monsters: Live in Tokyo (2003).

A reprint of the first six issues of DAM Magazine, with added band artwork, history, poster and a flexi disc was published by Book Beat and DAP Artbooks in 1995 as Destroy All Monsters: Geisha This, and reprinted in three different editions. A DVD of selected DAM films was released in 2007 by MVD video as: Grow Live Monsters featuring early 8 mm and 16 mm films directed by Cary Loren from 1971–1976.

Ron Asheton died on January 1, 2009, aged 60, of an apparent heart attack.

In 2009 the Printed Matter bookstore in NYC mounted the Destroy All Monsters exhibit Hungry for Death curated by James Hoff and Cary Loren featuring the group's collected work. The exhibition toured to White Flag Projects in St Louis, 0047 in Oslo, SPACE Gallery in London, The American Academy in Rome, Italy, Galerie 1m3 in Lausanne, Switzerland, AMP Gallery in Athens, Greece (2010), galerie du jour agnès b in Paris, France (2011) and the Boston University Art Gallery (2011). To coincide with the Hungry for Death exhibition Printed Matter released a 1975 recording Double Sextet as a vinyl album. The band also re-released the Destroy All Monsters: 1974–1976 compilation on CD, without booklet, in a limited edition of 1000. In 2011, the Boston University Art Gallery released the catalog Hungry for Death: Destroy All Monsters, with essays by Byron Coley and Branden Joseph. This catalog included a detailed discography and a CD titled Get Out of My Bedroom of unreleased DAM music spanning over thirty years of band history.

A facsimile reprint of the Destroy All Monsters Magazine 1976–1979 was published by Primary Information in May, 2011.

An exhibition curated by Mike Kelley and Dan Nadel titled Return of the Repressed: Destroy All Monsters 1973-1977 showing work by Mike Kelley, Jim Shaw, Cary Loren and Niagara opened at PRISM in Los Angeles on November 19, 2011 and ran through January 7, 2012. Accompanying the exhibition was a catalog published by PRISM and PictureBox, edited by Mike Kelley and Dan Nadel with an essay by Nicole Rudick.

Mike Kelley was found dead in South Pasadena, California, on February 1, 2012, aged 57, having committed suicide. Sixteen days later, on February 17, 2012, Michael Davis died of liver failure, aged 68.

Rob King died on November 4, 2023 in Ann Arbor of pneumonia at age 68.

Piccolo oboe

The piccolo oboe, also known as the piccoloboe or sopranino oboe and historically called an oboe musette (or just musette), is the smallest and highest pitched member of the oboe family. Pitched in E♭ or F above the regular oboe (i.e. notated a minor third or perfect fourth lower than sounding), the piccolo oboe is a sopranino version of the oboe, comparable to the E♭ clarinet. It is most commonly found in early 20th-century marching band music, and more rarely in chamber music ensembles or contemporary compositions.

Makers

Piccolo oboes are produced by the French makers F. Lorée (pitched in F) and Marigaux (pitched in E♭), as well as the Italian firm Fratelli Patricola (pitched in E♭). Lorée calls its instrument piccolo oboe or oboe musette (in F), while Marigaux and Patricola call their instruments simply oboe musette.

Repertoire
The instrument has found the most use in chamber and contemporary music, where it is valued for its unusual tone colour. It is also employed in double-reed ensembles such as Amoris, and in film scoring. Perhaps the best-known pieces requiring piccolo oboe are Solo for Oboe Instruments (1971) and Concerto for Oboe and Orchestra No. 2, both by Bruno Maderna, Vérifications by Samuel Andreyev, and Ar-Loth (1967) by Paolo Renosto.

Other contemporary works for the instrument are Scherzo Furioso by William Blezard, Tasmanian Ants by Ian Keith Harris, Iberian Improvisations and Bailables    by Leonard Salzedo, Variations on a Sicilian Shepherd Tune by Clive Strutt.

Two concerti have been written featuring the piccolo oboe in addition to the other four members of the oboe family, these works being David Stock's "Oborama" and James Stephenson's "Rituals and Dances," both written for Alex Klein.

The 517 PIR is not the same as the 517 PRCT. The 517PIR was combined with the 596th PCEC and 460th PFAB to become the 517th PR Combat Team. The 517th PIR existed before the 517th PRCT. The PRCT was later split up again when attached to the 13th Airborne. Note: There are many PIRs, but only a few PRCTs:  517th, 503rd, 507th. Rbarrett3776 (talk) 01:15, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

Clerics of Saint Viator

The Clerics of Saint Viator (Clercs de Saint-Viateur), abbreviated C.S.V. and also known as the Viatorians is a Catholic clerical religious congregation of Pontifical Right for men (priest, brothers and lay associates) founded in Lyon, France, in 1831 by Father Louis Querbes. Its patron, Saint Viator, was a 4th-century catechist in Lyon. The institute spread from its origins in France to Canada and later to the United States; it now has provinces and missions all over the world. They are a teaching order and are involved in parish ministries and all levels of education, from grade school through university. Its members add the nominal letters C.S.V. after their names to indicate membership in the congregation.

Louis Querbes
Louis Querbes was born in Lyon, France, on 21 August 1793, during the French Revolution. He was baptized in Saint Nizier Parish near the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Fourvière. As a boy he participated in the choir and attended the clerical school in Saint Nizier Parish.

Querbes entered Saint Irenaeus Seminary and was ordained in 1816. He returned to Saint Nizier as a parochial vicar and became a skilled preacher. He became administrator of the clerical school at Saint Nizier.

In 1822, Louis Joseph Querbes was named pastor of Vourles, a parish that had suffered during the Revolution. He took on the task of rebuilding the church and preaching to the faithful. He noted a lack of educational opportunities for the children there.

History
Father Querbes formed an association of catechists for rural schools: "The Catechists of Saint Viator". He chose as patron Viator of Lyon, a fourth-century local saint who was a lector serving Bishop Just of Lyon. The religious Congregation of the Clerics of Saint Viator, made up of parochial clerics and lay catechists, was approved in 1831 by Archbishop Gaston de Pins, Apostolic Administrator of Lyons. Seven years later, he presented his society to the Pope but, counseled by advisors, he had dropped the inclusion of lay members, as it would not have been approved. Father Querbes was ahead of his time in wanting to form a community of lay and religious members. On 21 September 1838, he received pontifical approval for the religious institute of the Parochial Clerics or Catechists of Saint Viator.

The Viatorians opened schools and worked in parishes first in France, and later in Canada and the United States. Father Louis Querbes died in Vourles 1 September 1859, but his work and charity continued after his death. At the death of its founder, the Congregation numbered between 250 and 300 members, including some fifty in Canada. They constituted four provinces: Vourles, Saint-Flour, Rodez, and Canada.

19th century
After the death of Father Querbes and up until about 1880, the movement continued to grow. In France, the typical Cleric of Saint Viator served in small rural parishes, where he was, according to the wishes of the founder, "the cantor, sacristan, catechist, table-mate, and companion" of the priest and the principal of the school. Afterward, as the country entered an era of political turbulence, religious congregations that, up until that time, could direct public communal schools had to abandon them. They opened parish schools, which were free but poor. Members were obliged to do military service. The number entering novitiates declined. In 1900, there were approximately 500 French members of the 760 members in the entire Congregation.

Clerics of the Province of Canada went in a different direction, directing primary schools as well as secondary schools, accepting responsibility for a parish, and creating an Institution for the Deaf. The development of the Congregation proceeded based upon apostolic works. In 1897, a half-century after its founding, the Canadian chapter was composed of 215 members.

In 1865, three Canadian members founded a school in Bourbonnais, Illinois, in the United States; this school later developed as St. Viator College. A novitiate was opened, and in 1882, the members of the United States formed the Province of Chicago. At the end of the century, the Chicago Province was composed of about forty members.

Until the beginning of the twentieth century, the members of France formed the predominant group in the Congregation. Except for the Chicago Province, the other provinces were engaged in apostolic works that fit into the same framework: elementary schools, some of which were small boarding schools, which represented the principal commitment of the Congregation; several secondary schools, which involved a small number of members; social works (orphanages in France, the Montreal Institute for the Deaf); and sacristan duties in several parishes. Small or medium-sized local communities predominated and consisted for the most part of religious brothers.

1903-1908
In May 1903, in France, the government decreed closing 11,000 schools and hospitals administered by religious congregations. Within the space of two months, the Clerics of Saint Viator of France saw their provincial houses, juniorates, novitiates, and residences for retired members closed and their personnel dispersed. All primary and secondary schools were affected; many of them disappeared. All properties of the Congregation were seized by the State; communities fell apart. Certain members went before tribunals and were sentenced to prison. Other members, especially those who were somewhat older, left for other countries.

Belgium became a possible place of refuge for the members of the Province of Vourles, while Spain played the same role for those of the Province of Rodez. The Province of Canada indicated that, in case of necessity, it would welcome French confreres; 31 accepted Canada's hospitality. The provinces tried to re-establish themselves gradually. All the schools were free and run by laypeople. To support themselves, the organization took part in gardening and farming operations, a tailor shop for religious garb, and sold objects of piety. In Brussels, Belgium, and Vitoria, Spain, new schools were opened. When World War I broke out, about half of the French members were drafted; 29 of them were killed in battle. This time period corresponded with the decline of the French influence upon the Congregation. By 1907–1908, the number of North American members was greater than the number of European members.

1920s-1960s
From the 1920s until the 1960s, the number of Canadian members grew steadily and eventually constituted two-thirds of the Congregation's membership (1,146 out of 1,760 in the year 1960). They set up several classical secondary schools, including in Joliette and Rigaud, as well as specialized institutions for the hearing impaired in Montreal and Quebec, and for the blind in Montreal. This resulted in members moving east toward the mouth of the Saint Lawrence River, north toward the regions of Abitibi and Témiscamingue, and west toward the Province of Manitoba. Several members, in 1931, went abroad to found a school in Manchuria. Also in 1931, the Brothers of Our Lady of the Fields was merged into the Clerics of Saint Viator.

Because of its growth, the Canadian Province was divided into smaller provinces: in 1938 provinces of Montreal and Joliette were established; in 1955 Abitibi and Saint Lawrence were founded). Over the years, Canadian members introduced the Congregation to Japan (1948), Taiwan (1953), Peru (1959), and Haiti (1965).

In 1928 members of the Chicago Province petitioned for beatification of the organization's founder, Louis Querbes. The Great Depression took a toll on the Province; Viator College was unable meets its financial obligations and closed in 1938.

Members of the Province of Chicago served in large educational institutions, universities, chaplaincies, and parishes. The Chicago Province founded a school in Bogotá, Colombia, in 1961. A church was set up in Las Vegas, Nevada in 1955, where the Clerics taught at a newly opened high school.

The French provinces re-organized gradually; their apostolic commitments remained unchanged. They became involved with parishes and collaborated with the diocesan clergy. In 1955, French members founded a school in Bouaké, Ivory Coast.

The Clerics moved into Spain, slowly at first but more solidly after 1920. In spite of the interruptions caused by the Civil War (1936-1939), the local communities in Spain formed a vice-province in 1937; ten years later, they became a full-fledged province. Starting in 1957, Spain founded several establishments in Chile.

1960s-1970s
Vatican Council II brought renewed emphasis on the questions and challenges that were present everywhere in the late 1960s. Problems within institutions and communities led many members to leave the Clerics of Saint Viator. Reflections that began at the 1969 and 1972 General Chapters resulted in the drafting of a renewed Constitution (1978) that refocused the organization on its mission and the religious life of the Clerics of Saint Viator.

During the renewal process, the congregation decided to accept lay associates, both men and women, into the community. This had been part of Father Louis Querbes' original concept. The degree to which non-clerics participate varies among the local communities.

2000s
In 2010 and 2011, the Clerics organized and hosted a Youth Congress in Arlington Heights, Illinois.

In 2012, a number of former students of the Montreal Institute for the Deaf operated by the Viatorians in Montreal, Canada made public their claims of sexual abuse by priests at the institute. In 2016, the Clerics of St Viateur, who operated the institute, agreed to a $30 million (CAD) payment to settle the claims. The settlement was the largest ever awarded in Quebec for a sexual abuse case.

As of 2018 the Clerics of St. Viator continue to provide education and shelter for youth.

Secret Beyond the Door

Secret Beyond the Door is a 1947 American film noir psychological thriller and a modern updating of the Bluebeard fairytale, directed by Fritz Lang, produced by Lang's Diana Productions, and released by Universal Pictures. The film stars Joan Bennett and was produced by her husband Walter Wanger. The black-and-white film noir drama is about a woman who suspects her new husband, an architect, plans to kill her.

Plot
On her wedding day, rich heiress Celia refuses all proposals in New York, goes to Mexico for a vacation, and falls in love with architect Mark Lamphere. They have a happy honeymoon until she playfully locks him out of their hotel room. He then turns cold toward her, and eventually leaves to return to his New England home for what he says is business. She follows him, and upon turning up at the mansion which he designed and built, she discovers that he is actually a widower with a son. The boy, David, is being looked after by Mark's sister Caroline and his secretary, Miss Robey, whose face was scarred saving David's life in a fire. She wears a scarf to conceal the disfigurement. Celia makes friends with David, but is uneasy about Mark's mood swings, especially when Caroline hints that he is somewhat responsible for his first wife Eleanor's death. Caroline also mentions having to lock Mark in his room when he was a boy. Mark later displays to their party guests the suite of special rooms he built on a special gated corridor in the mansion. Each of the first six rooms is an exact reproduction of a famous murder scene; a seventh room is locked and Mark refuses to show it.

Celia, wondering if the seventh room shows the scene of Mark's murder of Eleanor, cuts down one of their bedroom candles to soften the wax and make an impression of the room's key. While doing this, she catches Miss Robey without her scarf, and learns that she had plastic surgery. She was pretending to be still disfigured to keep Mark and Caroline's gratitude for saving David and avoid being fired. She was hoping to marry Mark herself until Celia turned up. Celia promises not to tell on her.

Mark is disturbed at the unequal height of the two candles in the bedroom. Celia receives the copy of the key she made, enters the seventh room and recognizes it as an exact duplicate of her and Mark's bedroom. She concludes that it does indeed commemorate the death of Eleanor until Celia notices that the dresser candles are uneven in the same way they are in the real bedroom now. The room is to display not Mark's past but his future murder of her. She runs away.

Mark daydreams of being tried in a court, where he admits that he has a strong compulsion to kill Celia despite loving her. He left her in Mexico to avoid doing this, but now the urge is back and Mark must leave again. He dismisses Miss Robey for disloyalty, having noticed her deceit about her scar, and he and Caroline have a quarrel where she claims to be furious about having to run everything by herself and he is angry at her controlling him all her life.

Celia returns because she loves Mark, who is alarmed, as it means they will be alone in the house together. He tries to leave again to save her life, but his compulsion overcomes him and he returns. He finds Celia waiting for him in the seventh room. Celia says that she is there because she would rather die than live without him. Channeling the psychological theories advanced about murderers at the party, she begs him to remember what happened in his childhood to make him this way. And he does. When Mark was ten, his mother promised to read to him before she left to go dancing, but he found himself locked in his room as she departed. His pounding and screaming were in vain, and his love for his mother was transmuted into hate which was transferred to Celia when she locked the door of their honeymoon room. He advances on her to strangle her with a scarf. Celia reveals that it was Caroline, not their mother, who locked him in; he accepts this, and the scarf falls from his hand. They then notice smoke and fire; Miss Robey, thinking Celia is in the room alone and wanting to continue as the dominant woman in Mark's life, locked the door and set fire to the house. Mark kicks the door open, escapes the house, and go back for Celia when she collapses.

On a terrace, Mark tells Celia that she killed the root of evil in him that night, but he has a long way to go. She tells him they will go that way together.

Release
The film recorded a loss of $1,145,000.

Secret Beyond the Door was released in the UK on DVD in November 2011 by Exposure Cinema. Olive Films released the film in the United States on DVD and Blu-ray on September 4, 2012.

Reception
When the film was first released, film critic Bosley Crowther of The New York Times was of mixed opinions: "If you want to be tough about it—okay, it's a pretty silly yarn and it is played in a manner no less fatuous by the sundry members of the cast. But Mr. Lang is still a director who knows how to turn the obvious, such as locked doors and silent chambers and roving spotlights, into strangely tingling stuff. And that's why, for all its psycho-nonsense, this film has some mildly creepy spots and some occasional faint resemblance to Rebecca which it was obviously aimed to imitate." Variety called it arty and almost surrealistic. The motivations of the characters were described as occasionally murky.

New York’s PM was highly critical in 1948: “what they [Wanger, Lang, Bennett and Redgrave] have come up with is an utterly synthetic ‘psychological’ suspense incredibility wrapped in a gravity so pretentious it is to laugh, wherein all the actors stalk and stare like zombies while the sound track babbles fancy words.”

Jonathan Rosenbaum of the Chicago Reader called the film's murkiness a strength. Rotten Tomatoes, a review aggregator, reports that 54% of 13 surveyed critics gave the film a positive review; the average rating is 5.5/10.

Talk:187th Infantry Regiment (United States)

Page should be moved
This page should be moved to U.S. 187th Infantry Regiment to conform to other units in Wikipedia. WikiDon 02:53, 28 August 2005 (UTC)

EDITED for OPSEC reasons. DO NOT post information about current troop deployments/locations. Sorry, I forgot to login when I edited the page. I corrected it now. Cman 12:58, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

"Rakkasan" simply means "parachute"
Though disavowed in the previous edition, the Japanese word "rakkasan" (no hyphen is needed) is a compound word made of "rakka" (falling) and "san" (umbrella, parasol) and means "parachute". It means the apparatus to make a descent and never means any personnel or military unit. And maybe this word's origin is German. Around World War II, many German words were translated in Japanese. German word "Fallschirm(jaeger)" means '(Soldier with) falling umbrella'.

The paratroopers are called "rakkasan hei" (parachute soldier) or "koka hei" (descent soldier) and the unit is called "rakkasan butai" (parachute corps) or "koka butai" (descent corps.)

Even nonhuman beings can be endearingly given the honorific "-san" in Japanese, but the word "rakka" means an action and it sounds very strange if an action is given a "-san".

So "rakkasan" is one word and the "-san" isn't an honorific. The translation "umbrella man" is also wrong, and "falling down umbrella" is literally correct, but actually it does mean "parachute". —Preceding unsigned comment added by 219.101.158.2 (talk) 04:04, 11 July 2008 (UTC)

As spelled in Japanese Kana alphabet, the "san" in Rakkasan is an honorific.

BUT......that does not mean my analysis is correct.

In fact, this analysis gets more and more hairy.

Written in Kanji symbols, the words used are "falling" "down or below" and "umbrella", none of which translate to "san." However, the Kanji symbols for "umbrella below" are pronounced "sanka". "Ka" in this case means below, even though "san" standing alone does not literally translate as umbrella. So, if you reversed the the order of the two to, perhaps, mean "below umbrella", you would get, "kasan." This is not normal Japanese construction, but it would render complete and literal pronounciation of the entire Kanji term to be "Rakkakasan". (Try saying that three times really fast.) That would be "falling" "down" "below" "umbrella"  "Rakkasan" might, therefore, be a shortened version of the gutteral sounding term (having an extra "ka") as written in Kanji. Also, we may note, so constructed, an alternate and not attractive translation would be "Mister falling kaka." Another good reason to shorten the word, it seems to me.

Conclusion: I have dug deeply into dangerous turf, and withdraw from the field before I get into really serious trouble!

 * Agree that rakkasan simply means parachute. And it meant parachute before the 187th Infantry Regiment was in Japan (as can be confirmed by looking at old editions of Japanese dictionaries).  Quote "Written in Kanji symbols, the words used are "falling" "down or below" and "umbrella", none of which translate to "san."" Unquote. This is incorrect 傘 (kanji for umbrella) has an ON reading of SAN (as seen in 開傘 / kaisan / opening of umbrella).  This can be confirmed with any kanji dictionary.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.29.255.88 (talk) 19:38, 29 August 2008 (UTC)

Date format? -- WW 2 and aftermath
I notice that the dates in this section are given as YY-MM-DD. That format doesn't seem to be general American (MM/DD/YY) or American military (DD Mmm YY). In fact, I don't ever remember seeing that format (YY-MM-DD) in general English language text: American, British (DD/MM/YY) or International English. Yes, I know that it's called "Big End" format and it's used in listings and data base programs. I think the format should be changed to what's being used in the majority of the article, which seems to be a modified US military format, "DD full month spelling YY". What is Wiki policy for US military articles?--TGC55 (talk) 10:01, 14 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Great minds think alike. I corrected this on 1 December to standardize the date format, although I haven't perused the whole article for consistency. Generally, most Wikipedia military articles I've read use the DD Month YYYY format; e.g., 20 October 1950, rather than 20 Oct 50 or 20Oct50. Back in the old days of military electromechanical radioteletype communications, fewer alphanumeric characters, spaces, and punctuation in the message (date/time stamp, message body, etc.) meant shorter transmission times. FYI, the Wikipedia standard is there is no standard...but they're working on it. See WP:DATESPROJ, Date and time notation in the United States, and Date and time notation in the United Kingdom.

 * I found the text in question that was entered on 3/4 December 2020. See 187th Infantry Regiment (United States): Revision history entries 12:10, 3 December 2020 from IP address 98.115.236.152 and 16:45, 4 December 2020 from IP address 98.115.236.152. A User Contribution Search for all 187th Infantry Regiment article entries from this IP address returned these as the only two entries by an individual who probably does not have a user account. I own General Flanagan's book, so was able to look up the page reference cited. Flanagan appears to have paraphrased Captain Bucha's MOH citation, which states "Capt. Bucha crawled through the hail of fire to singlehandedly destroy the bunker with grenades." See https://www.cmohs.org/recipients/paul-w-bucha for the complete citation. Since the post-Korean War history of the 187th Infantry Regiment is beyond my subject matter expertise, I removed the POV text since it violates Wikipedia's policies and guidelines and edited the section to make it more neutral IMO. Regarding actions to be taken, I doubt there will be any on Wikipedia's part. The controversial text has been in the article since 3 December and none of the Wikipedia policy and guideline posse removed it. I hope this helped.

Reducing the article size by condensing it.
This article has around 400,000 characters of readable prose, so there is too much to read. The article should be condensed with summaries and the detailed content should be transferred to new articles. zsteve21 (talk) 22:37, 14 October 2021 (UTC)
