If the professional jargon could be expanded slightly with the educated Wikipedia reader in mind, there will be a lot of interest here in the next days and months. --Wetman 15:32, 4 October 2005 (UTC)

Cryosat 2
I think the article should be rewritten to describe CryoSat 2 instead of CryoSat 1, including the lead. Offliner (talk) 13:51, 24 February 2009 (UTC)

PackBot

PackBot is a series of military robots by Endeavor Robotics (previously by iRobot ), an international robotics company founded in 2016, created from iRobot, that previously produced military robots since 1990. More than 2000 were used in Iraq and Afghanistan. They were also used to aid searching through the debris of the World Trade Center after 9/11 in 2001. Another instance of the PackBot technology being implemented was to the damaged Fukushima nuclear plant after the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami where they were the first to assess the site. As of November 2014, the U.S. Army is refurbishing 224 iRobot 510 robots. The PackBot technology is also used in collaboration with NASA for their rovers and probes.

Brief history

 * 1998 – iRobot establishes a DARPA contract leading to the PackBot.
 * 2001 – iRobot PackBot used to search World Trade Center ruins after the 9/11 attacks.
 * 2002 – PackBot first deployed to aid United States Troops.

iRobot International PackBot orders
February 2011 iRobot released confirmation of a deal totaling $4.4 million for the first quarter of 2011 for the manufacturing of 27 PackBot 510's and spare parts to accompany them. In 2010, the industrial division of iRobot accumulated $13.2 million in revenue for international orders for PackBot alone in more than 25 countries. In September 2014, iRobot secured a deal with the Canadian Department of National Defense (DND). The contract was for the delivery of PackBot reconnaissance, chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear systems. The contract was priced at $9.6 million and includes the training of military personnel to operate the equipment, as well as lifetime repairs and technical support. PackBots have also been used in non-military operations. In 2014 the Brazilian government received an order of 30 PackBots. The robots were used for security purposes during the 2014 FIFA World Cup and the deal totaled $7.2 million in order to police the twelve host cities during the soccer matches. To date, iRobot has delivered upwards of 5000 different robots including PackBots internationally.

NASA and PackBots
The National Aeronautic and Space Administration (NASA) has a partnership with the company, iRobot. NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) is a facility responsible for the development of robotic space-crafts as well as the Deep Space Network. Among these space-crafts are the rovers sent to the planet Mars. The rovers Spirit and Opportunity sent to Mars in 2003 are just two of the rovers managed by the Jet Propulsion Laboratory. Mars is not the only place employing iRobot technology. In 2011, Japan was rocked by a strong earthquake causing a meltdown of the Fukushima nuclear reactor. Two PackBot rovers were deployed into the ruins of the nuclear power plant to assess damage, where the radioactivity was at high enough levels to prohibit humans from exploring.

The projects involving the cooperation of iRobot and NASA allowed the creation of high-tech machines. The much-needed physical structure of the robots was designed by iRobot, while the instruments and science equipment on board was provided by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory.

Current PackBot 510 variants
PackBot 510 is the current base model. It uses a videogame-style hand controller to make it more familiar to young operators.
 * PackBot 510 with EOD Bomb Disposal Kit designed for improvised explosive device identification and disposal.
 * PackBot 510 with Fast Tactical Maneuvering Kit designed for infantry troops tasked with improvised explosive device inspection. This is a lighter weight robot.
 * PackBot 510 with First Responder Kit, designed to help SWAT teams and other first responders with situational awareness.
 * PackBot 510 with HazMat Detection Kit collects air samples to detect chemical and radiological agents.
 * PackBot 510 with Fido utilizes the Fido Explosives Detector from ICx Technologies as a payload in order to "sniff" out explosive materials. With the Fido, the PackBot now has the capability of locating explosive devices and subsequently disarming them using onboard robotic capabilities.
 * PackBot 510 with REDOWL Sniper Detection Kit utilizes the Acoustic Direction Finder from BioMimetic Systems to localize gunshots with azimuth, elevation, and range.
 * RC2 – U.S. Marine Corps version of the 510 PackBot with a longer and stronger arm, more cameras, communications variations, and better track propulsion.

Performance
PackBot 510 has a maximum speed of 5.8 mph or 9.3 km/h, and weighs 31.6 lbs. or 14.3 kg. The robot can traverse mud, rocks, stairs, and other surfaces due to its caterpillar track. The robot also has zero radius turn capability, and can climb up to a 60 degree incline. The dual BB-2590/U Li-ion rechargeable batteries allow for the robot to have a run time of 4 to 8 hours. Adaptive Materials Inc. (AMI) has created a power pod battery capable of extending the life of the PackBot. The power pod weighs 6 kg(13 lbs) and allows for extension of battery life to reach 12 hours. It can maneuver in up to 3 feet of water. PackBot has more than 40 accessories, which are illustrated in PackBot 510 variants. Additionally, the robot can communicate up to 1000 meters or 3281 feet, and captures information through four cameras with night vision, zoom, and illumination capabilities that allow for real time image processing.

Previous variants

 * PackBot Scout is the basic configuration. It has five payload bays for assignable purposes and can be dropped from a height of six feet (1.83m) onto concrete without being damaged. The Packbot scout version weighs about 40 pounds (18 kg).
 * PackBot Explorer Carries an integrated payload which can be elevated to allow peeking over obstacles or cover. Payload has a camera head equipped with multiple cameras, laser pointers, audio and other sensors.
 * The Explorer variant, was used to explore the debris of the World Trade Center after the attack on 9/11 in search of victims and assessing the structural integrity of the debris by sending back images.
 * PackBot EOD (explosive-ordnance disposal) can be controlled by radio, or via a multimode Fibre Optic cable spool mounted on the robot. The Fibre Optic cable option is used in situations involving potential radio signal-triggered explosive devices, thereby reducing the risk of personal injury.

Deployment
The main use of the Packbot in the field is IED detection and defusing. The Packbot Scout was the first deployment of the Packbot and was sent to Afghanistan in 2002 to explore caves and bunkers. This model was the simplest Packbot which contained just a robotic arm and camera. As of 2007 Packbots have been deployed to aid in the detection of sniper fire in the Middle East. Acoustic signatures detected by the robot allow ground troops to pinpoint sniper fire in battle. Packbot has also been used to explore buildings and other possibly dangerous areas with the modified light Packbot Explorer, which only weighs 30 pounds and is faster than the Packbot 510. In addition, iRobot sent two Packbot 510 robots to Japan after the tsunami and earthquake destroyed Japan's Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant. The robot was used on several reconnaissance missions at the power plant to remove debris and measure radiation readings.

Information is not fully accurate. much of it is embellished and long winded and unnecessary. Many functions were only temporary and no longer hold those positons. it can be easily misconstrued. family members names should be taken out to protect them. it should be edited to be back where it was in 2010. its too personal and the family wants it out.

 * Keep and expand or merge useful content from editing history with GameSpot. The website has grown in popularity since the first debate in June. --Tony Sidaway Talk  15:35, 4 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete - Content is Identical in substance to a subset of the original article deleted by VfD vote - Recreation is a Speedy delete candidate and relisting violates the opinions of all who voted to delete the article. - Tεx  τ  urε  15:39, 4 October 2005 (UTC)
 * That is simply incorrect. I wrote the article myself, and it has absolutely nothing to do with the original content.  The people who voted to delete the original article are entitled to their opinions, but listing a completely different article for deletion can hardly be held to violate their opinions; nor is disagreement per se any form of violation. --Tony Sidaway Talk  15:45, 4 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Delete per WP:WEB, previous VfD, and ongoing VfU discussion, which are nearly unanimous delete/keep deleted. Content is "new" in the sense that it's a summarization of the previously-deleted content (whether it was intended that way by Tony or not), and I fail to see which circumstances have changed – Alexa of 470,884 doesn't indicate any significant increase in popularity. android  79  15:54, 4 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Speedily delete via G4. If the recreation is as similar to the original as Texture suggests, Geogre's action in speedily deleting the recreation is appropriate per the deletion policy and the criteria for speedy deletion. It should be noted that to overcome the "substantially identical copy" clause of G4, a recreation must address those features of the original that were felt to be in contravention of WP policies and guidelines in the first place. The original version of this article was validly deleted via VfD principally because it so lacked notability (to use that much-maligned word) that it did not have independent sources that would adequately meet the verifiability requirements of this encyclopedia. WP:V, the heart and soul of an encyclopedia and one of WP's great trinity, regretably also appears to be the most ignored WP policy. To quote from that repository of good sense:
 * One of the keys to writing good encyclopedia articles is to understand that they should refer only to facts, assertions, theories, ideas, claims, opinions, and arguments that have already been published by a reputable publisher...
 * For an encyclopedia, sources should be unimpeachable. An encyclopedia is not primary source material. Its authors do not conduct interviews or perform original research. Therefore, anything we include should have been published in the records, reportage, research, or studies of other reputable sources...
 * Subjects which have never been written about in published sources, or which have only been written about in sources of doubtful credibility should not be included in Wikipedia. One of the reasons for this policy is the difficulty of verifying the information.
 * Not only does this article lack any such sources, no reason is given for us to believe that such sources might be available. It is useful to ask the following questions whenever one contemplates writing a WP article. Has someone written a paper on this subject (ie. in this case, the website "Systemwars.com")? Has it been the focus of a thesis or newspaper or journal or magazine report (even an online one)? Is it the subject of a book or a book chapter? If it is, the source should be provided and the contents of the article should state (only) what is verifiable per that source. But, if there are no sources, the article goes. WP:ISNOT a receptacle for unverified claims. It is not a collection of weblinks appended to blurbs. It is not the place for original research and claims. It is an encyclopedia.— enceph alon  18:17, 4 October 2005 (UTC)

 * NB. It has sometimes been suggested to me that linking a website which is the subject of the article will suffice for WP:V. This represents a profound misunderstanding of WP:V and WP:NOR. The reason that one is required to have independent, reputable sources for WP articles is that these sources represent the primary research and peer review that WP simply cannot do on its own. WP cannot conduct interviews. It cannot perform investigations to determine whether the claims people make on websites are true. It has no body of professional experts to peer-review and endorse its articles. It relies for all this on what is already published by organizations that can do all this. One cannot write the claim "Systemwars.com quickly grew its board to include 1000 members, and provide no source for it except a link to that very website. That would be like me claiming "My pet dog is the smartest dog on earth", and providing a link to my website which says "my pet dog is the smartest dog on earth." Now it may very well be true that the website has 1000 members and that my pet dog really is the smartest dog on earth, but to determine that without independent sources, WP would have to engage in original research—which we cannot do. That is why we need independent sources, whether we're writing about William Shakespeare, asthma, or quantum mechanics. Or Systemwars.com.— enceph alon  18:25, 4 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. verifiability problem. No third-party reputable references to reviews provided, i.e., looks like original research, insufficient to espablish notability. mikka (t) 18:20, 4 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete - Unverifiable and non-notable. Forums with 1,000 users and Alexa rankings with six digits are not notable. FCYTravis 18:22, 4 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Speedy Delete as re-creation (per Texture's research). Protect from re-creation per overwhelming consensus on VfU to keep this deleted.  The VfU debate is still current, by the way: Votes_for_undeletion and this article should not have been re-created.  Andrew Lenahan - St ar bli nd  18:57, 4 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, not nearly as popular as Gamespot and IGN Pilatus 19:10, 4 October 2005 (UTC)

Changing to abstain, leaning toward keep.  I was unaware that a respected user was responsible for the current edit.  Sorry, 'bout that, Tony (blush). - Lucky 6.9 20:57, 4 October 2005 (UTC)
 * So if I, as a "respected user" and administrator create an article on My Sock Collection, you would judge its notability differently than you would an article on an anonymous user's sock collection? Someone's length of service to Wikipedia should have no bearing whatsoever on judgements of notability, verifiability and encyclopedicity. FCYTravis 21:21, 4 October 2005 (UTC)
 * I have to agree with FCYTravis. The contributor's status has nothing to do with the article in question being 1) currently discussed on VfU  2) a recreation of content deleted by consensus on VfD and 3) not notable in its own right.  Have you retracted your opinion that it is "totally non-notable" based on finding that the target of your blush recreated the original content? -  Tεx  τ  urε  21:47, 4 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Still delete. Frankly, it should have been deleted the first time...  Sasquatch  t|c 22:23, 4 October 2005 (UTC)
 * It was deleted the first time. So Delete. Again. And this time, when Deletion Review  says, "Endorse decision, keep deleted," bloody well keep deleted unless it is actually a new article. -  brenneman (t) (c)  23:00, 4 October 2005 (UTC)

 * The above discussion is preserved as an archive of the debate. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

Berlioz quote
I love this quote. I can't figure out where I originally found it, and I don't know if it can fit in the article:
 * “Only one member of this orchestra allows himself no sort of diversion. Engrossed in his task, active, tireless, his eyes fixed on his notes, his arm in perpetual motion, he would deem himself dishonored if he were to miss a quaver or attract censure for the quality of his tone. The close of each act finds him flushed an perspiring, exhausted and breathless; and yet he does not dare take advantage of the few moments afforded him by the lull in the musical hostilities to drink a glass of beer in the nearest bar. The dread of lingering there and so missing the first bars of the next act is enough to rivet him to his post. Touched by his zeal, the manager of the opera house to which he is attached once sent him six bottles of wine ‘by way of encouragement’. The artist, conscious of his worth, far from accepting this gift gratefully, returned it to the manager with the haughty message, ‘I do not need encouragement!’ It is easy to guess that I am referring to the bass drum player.”

"Kick drum" incorrect?
I've been drumming for 5 years, and I've always heard and assumed bass drum and kick drum are generally interchangable, except that a kick drum is always pedal-operated (as on a set) whereas a bass drum may be hand struck (as in marching or concert bands). The Drum kit article itself even refers to the "kick drum" being from when they used to be kicked to make a sound (something I've attempted and it makes very little sounds, and surely isn't good for your heads.) Is there any reputable sources that confirm the kicking legend OR that "kick drum" is incorrect? Also, the line about mostly non-drummers using "kick" is false. It's possible that those who aren't classically trained may not use it, but in concert band we use it often to differentiate the concert bass and the drumset bass. Evan Seeds (talk) 03:22, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

 * Kick drum or more often simply kick has been the standard term for a drumkit bass drum for as long as I can remember, it appears on drum scores, on the masking tape marking the channels on a sound desk, everywhere.

 * It's inaccurate, as you often don't really kick it even heel up, and certainly don't heel down. (Heavy metal players may.)

 * Yes, it's also a good way of distinguishing it from the more general term bass drum, which includes the drier, orchestral bass drum and marching band bass drum, the gong drum, and many others. Andrewa (talk) 05:38, 29 January 2012 (UTC)

 * It may refer to people looking from the audience and thinking the guy was kicking the bass drum. (not knowing there's a pedal?) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.31.108.105 (talk) 04:55, 31 January 2012 (UTC)

"Kick Drum"
The statement that the bass drum is "often incorrectly referred to as a 'kick' drum" is, itself, incorrect. The correct distinction must be made between the concert bass drum and the drum set bass drum, the later being termed the 'kick' drum. The concert bass drum is generally struck with a handheld mallet, whereas the 'kick' drum is struck with a mallet attached to a foot pedal.

 * Agree. Please sign your posts on talk pages. Andrewa (talk) 05:39, 29 January 2012 (UTC)

Concert Bass Drum
This article should begin by defining 'Bass Drum' in general:

"A bass drum is a large drum that produces a note of low definite or indefinite pitch."

Then it should continue with a brief description of, and distiction between, the concert bass drum, the pitched bass drum(s), and the drum set 'kick' drum. A section of the article should be dedicated to each type.

 * Agree. Under way. Andrewa (talk) 05:44, 29 January 2012 (UTC)

Double Bass article split and concert BD reconsidered?
In my opinion, this article's discussion of the double bass pedal and its variations may be suited for a separate article on this topic. I also think that that some space in this article should be used for a more in-depth discussion of concert bass drums, including more detailed physical specs, playing techniques, etc. This facet of bass drum seems to be under-represented in this article, considering the depth of the discussions of double bass and marching bass. --Rahzel 21:29, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
 * I agree. It could also do with a brief history of the use of the bass drum in orchestral music (use in opera houses, first use in a symphony, etc.) and a mention of orchestral repetoire pieces with significant bass drum parts (Symphonie Fantastique, the Verdi Requiem, possibly one or two Mahler symphonies, etc.) - Lbark 06:44, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

What is written about the double bass drum and pedal is great, but I would like to have seen equally thorough information about the more usual single bass such as playing styles, set up, etc.

Double Bass info
The world record citation cites Wikipedia as a source, it has been remeved, do not re-enter it. --User:Jman8088 23:44, October 26, 2006.

Inferno of Behemoth doesn't belong to the Scandinavian metal in the double bass drum techniques article. Behemoth and Inferno are of Polish nationality! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.102.209.44 (talk) 18:24, 18 February 2009 (UTC)

Vruk - Bass drum Merge proposal
The Vruk appears to be a drum accessory that doesn't need its own article. I am happy to do the merge I would appreciate some input from drummers as I may for some technical reason I dont understand be wrong. However at a glance it is simply a link to a commercial site.--Matt 00:48, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

Vruk - Bass drum Merge response
The Vruk is simply an attachment being used by a handful of drummers. It is basically an advertisement, supposedly to "improve" your control, and has no widespread use in the metal drumming world.

John Bonham
In the double bass techniques part the following is mentioned: "Then ultimately mastered in the 1970s by John Bonham of Led Zeppelin using only a single pedal."

Is this appropriate? I don't think it makes any sense. How can someone master a double bass technique using only one bass and one pedal? John Bonham had legendary bass drum skills, and can therefore be mentioned in this article but not in the double bass part.

If he was a significant influence on double bass drumming he could be mentioned in the double bass part, but then that should be explained (and, of course, sources should be used).

I'll remove it. Emmaneul (Talk) 12:03, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

Double bass in Extreme Metal
I think a discussion of double bass drumming in Thrash metal, Death metal,, Black metal  and Grind core, and similar styles, is needed, with a mention of Dave Lombardo, since these styles use double bass drumming as an integral part (as a simple example, see Silent Scream by  Slayer). According to Lombardo, when you are playing very fast on bass drums, you need two of them, since you have to give the drum a time to rest to avoid slapback. Furthermore, Lombardo has, in metal circles,  been called "the godfather of double bass". —Preceding unsigned comment added by Zthe (talk • contribs) 18:48, 28 January 2009 (UTC)

I'll add that many many of the metalcore drummers quoted in that Double Bass part for their "ability" are, while maybe being the most commercially proficient, absolutely not among the most technically proficient double bass drummers. I therefore replaced them with more skilled death metal / black metal drummers and, as opposed to the previous writer, gave concrete examples of their double bass drumming abilities. Thank you in advance for your comprehension, crocoscar —Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.9.135.169 (talk) 09:54, 1 March 2009 (UTC)

largest drum?
in the intro, it reads "It is the largest drum of the orchestra." What about the timpani? That is larger, is it not? --anonymous —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.90.138.2 (talk) 01:16, 27 April 2009 (UTC)

 * No, the concert bass drum has a larger diameter than the largest timpano used. RJM (talk) 23:39, 9 February 2010 (UTC)

Three major types of bass drums
The categorization of three types of bass drums in the intro was, though helpful, rather misleadingly stated I think. I have tried to fix this. Also, because of the heading "orchestral bass drum" later in the text I labelled this first type accordingly. WikiPBia (talk) 21:14, 16 July 2009 (UTC)

Editing and adding some info on the orchestral uses of the bass drum. WikiPBia (talk) 22:30, 16 July 2009 (UTC)

When reading some of the above remarks I got the impression that the overall structure of the article also was intended to follow this categorization. Hence I changed the heading to "Pitched bass drum in marching band use" this is also more in line with the actual text. But I haven´t checked if maybe some parts then fall off topic. WikiPBia (talk) 22:30, 16 July 2009 (UTC)

After revision I am still not pleased with the structure. Maybe it shouldn´t depend so much on the three types discussed above? WikiPBia (talk) 16:29, 21 July 2009 (UTC)

Orchestral bass drum
I want to learn about the orchestral bass drum. Specifically, how common is it to play it at an angle rather than vertically? I have seen what I believe to be angled bass drums on the stage at American orchestral concerts. --Simonsa (talk) 21:38, 18 March 2010 (UTC)

Pronunciation?
Is "bass" in bass drum pronounced like the sound or the fish?

--AlixeTiir (talk) 07:15, 18 July 2011 (UTC)

 * In Australia, like the sound, but it does differ a bit from dialect to dialect. Andrewa (talk) 05:51, 29 January 2012 (UTC)

 * Yes, it is always pronounced like the way you would pronounce the guitar. Never like the fish. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.89.29.199 (talk) 00:05, 8 February 2012 (UTC)

Splitting bass drum in 4 articles
Would you support the idea of splitting this entry in 4 articles?

 * drumkit bass drum or kick drum
 * marching bass drum
 * orchestral bass drum (I have created an article)
 * folk bass drums

--Opus88888 (talk) 01:17, 30 September 2012 (UTC)

 * I'm ok with a split, currently the article is in my opinion talking too much about the bass drum pedal and the pitched bass drums in marching band use. However, I don't agree with creating a 'folk bass drum' article unless there are sources supporting this idea. For example, separate instruments like the Lambeg drum (or many other drums) may be included under this classification since its ancestor could be the long drum. I think it will only cause a lot of trouble. Lobo (howl?) 00:55, 1 October 2012 (UTC)
 * I would strongly oppose such a move. A bass drum is a bass drum whether it is in an orchestra, a marching band or a pop group. I agree that some genres are better handled in this article than others. That is a consequence of the way this encylopedia is written and the wide variety of genres in which a bass drum is used. Please do not progress with this idea without a substantial concensus in favour. Op47 (talk) 17:48, 23 November 2012 (UTC)

 * Maybe I didn't express myself too well (my main language is not english)... of course a bass drum is a bass drum wether it is in an orchestra, a marching band or as part of the drum kit, and furthermore I am working hard on the eswiki version to be FA, trying to develop all of its uses, its history, sound production or technique. What I was just trying to say is to be concise, lighten its sections and translate such information to the proper articles, but I dont' want to remove this main article at all. Lobo (howl?) 20:13, 20 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Lobo, Thankyou for your comment. My comment was directed at the proposer and not to you. Of course some sections will become large and need to split off, obvious candidates at the moment are pedal and use in marching bands. I was just concerned that the original proposal would make it difficult to make the article a good article in the future. Good luck with your spanish article. Op47 (talk) 00:06, 21 December 2012 (UTC)

Article structure
I have tried to re-structure the article a bit to address the concerns raised above, where a split has been suggested. It is by no means complete. I believe if this structure is followed then a coherent and balanced article on bass drums will result. There is a lot that I have written without cites. Unfortunately the book where I got the information has gone for a walk. When it comes back, I will address that. Op47 (talk) 23:35, 23 November 2012 (UTC)
 * I think the article could do with more structuring with separate sections for the main uses of the bass drum. Martin Hogbin (talk) 12:40, 20 April 2014 (UTC)

Construction / Components
I'd like to see a basic breakdown of what makes up a bass drum. What are the parts called, how do they fit together, how is tension applied to the head, how are legs or toms added, etc.? Matt Huisjen (talk) 20:08, 19 October 2014 (UTC)

Larak Island

Larak Island (also Lark Island) is an island off the coast of Iran, which has been one of Iran's major oil export points since 1987. The narrowest part of the Strait of Hormuz at a distance of 24 mi lies between this Iranian island and Oman's Quoin Island.

History
During their occupation in the 16th century, the Portuguese built fortresses here, as well as on the nearby Qeshm and Hormuz Islands. The island contains an Iranian military base which maintains several Chinese-made Silkworm HY-2 surface-to-surface missiles placed there in 1987.

A floating terminal was established on Larak Island in June 1986. The island was bombed by Iraq in November and December 1986, as part of the Iran–Iraq War. As part of Operation Praying Mantis, the Iranian frigate Sahand was sunk by the United States Navy, 200 meters southwest of Larak Island. On 14 May 1988, the largest ship at the time, the Liberian supertanker, Seawise Giant, whilst carrying crude Iranian oil, was sunk by Iraqi anti-ship missiles off the coast of Larak Island. The ship was later refloated, repaired and used for another few years.

Demographics
Larak Island is located in the Larak Rural District, which is within the Shahab District. Two settlements are on the island: Larak Shahri and Larak Kuhi. Larak Shahri is the largest of the two villages, with a population of 466 people and 98 families.

Nature
The waters around Larak Island are one of the most diverse coral reef areas in the environment of the Persian Gulf. There are 37 species of scleractinian corals identified around Larak Island.

Hinokio

Hinokio (ヒノキオ) is a 2005 Japanese science fiction film directed by Takahiko Akiyama and starring Masatoshi Nakamura, Kanata Hongo and Mikako Tabe. Its tagline is "Inter Galactic Love".

Overview
A recent accident has left Satoru Iwamoto, an elementary school student, temporarily needing a wheelchair. In addition, the recent loss of his mother has thrown Satoru into a reclusive state, locking himself from the outside world. However, in an effort to help Satoru recover from his injuries, his father, Kaoru, has designed a remote-controlled robot that will go to school in his place and allow him to interact with people and do normal things.

The robot, "piloted" by Satoru from a large control terminal in his room, is nicknamed 'Hinokio' by his classmates. Hinokio is mostly admired by his fellow students, and they together start a generally normal year of school. But the story soon dwells more on Satoru, himself, as he rediscovers love and friendship through classmate Jun Kudo and also his own father.

Hippies (TV series)

Hippies is a six-part British television comedy series broadcast on BBC 2 from 12 November to 17 December 1999. It was created by Arthur Mathews and Graham Linehan, the writing partnership most famous for Father Ted, but the scripts were written by Mathews alone. It starred Simon Pegg, Sally Phillips, Julian Rhind-Tutt and Darren Boyd.

Synopsis
Hippies is set in 1969 during the 'Swinging Sixties' and follows the misadventures of Ray Purbbs (Pegg), who is the editor of a counterculture magazine called Mouth (a parody of Oz and International Times), which he produces in his flat in Notting Hill Gate. He is aided by Alex Picton-Dinch (Rhind-Tutt), Hugo Yemp (Boyd) and Jill Sprint (Phillips). Ray is constantly pining for Sprint to no avail.

The series delves into late 1960s culture and involves the characters in various socially awkward situations in this setting.

Critical reaction
The series was Mathews and Linehan's immediate follow up to the hugely popular and highly successful Father Ted. As such it received a significant amount of pre-release hype which viewers felt let down by after watching the first few episodes, as it did not meet their expectations. In general it was badly received by critics but has gained a cult following.

A second series was commissioned, but was never made after Mathews was put off by the negative critical reaction.

Hippies has never been repeated on any terrestrial BBC channels, although it has been repeated on Paramount Comedy 2, the now defunct Play UK, and Gold.

BBC America aired the series in the United States in 2000.

The series was released on Region 0 DVD in the UK in March 2008.

OSS Detachment 101

Detachment 101 of the Office of Strategic Services (formed under the Office of the Coordinator of Information (COI) just weeks before it evolved into the OSS) operated in the China-Burma-India Theater of World War II. On 17 January 1956, it was awarded a Presidential Distinguished Unit Citation by President Dwight Eisenhower, who wrote: "The courage and fighting spirit displayed by its officers and men in offensive action against overwhelming enemy strength reflect the highest tradition of the armed forces of the United States."

Detachment 101 was "the first American unit ever assembled to conduct guerrilla warfare, espionage and sabotage behind enemy lines."

History
Detachment 101 was the creation of Millard Preston Goodfellow, a leading figure at COI, and Director of Special Activities/Goodfellow (SA/G), which would later become the Special Operations Branch.

"On April 14, 1942, William Donovan, as Coordinator of Information (which evolved into the Office of Strategic Services that June), activated Detachment 101 for action behind enemy lines in Burma. The first unit of its kind in US service, the Detachment was charged with gathering intelligence, harassing the Japanese through guerrilla actions, identifying targets for the Army Air Force to bomb, and rescuing downed Allied airmen. Because Detachment 101 was never larger than a few hundred Americans, it relied on support from various tribal groups in Burma. In particular, the vigorously anti-Japanese Kachin people were vital to the unit's success. By the time of its deactivation on July 12, 1945, Detachment 101 had scored impressive results. According to official statistics, with a loss of some 22 Americans, Detachment 101 killed 5,428 Japanese and rescued 574 Allied personnel." 101's efforts opened the way for Stilwell's Chinese forces, Wingate's Raiders, Merrill's Marauders, and the great counter-attack against the Japanese Imperial life-line."

During most of the unit's existence, it funded and coordinated various resistance groups made up of the Kachin people of northern Burma. The best known resistance force was known as the Kachin Rangers and was under the command of Carl F. Eifler, though often the term Kachin Rangers has been used to describe all Kachin Forces raised during the war by the Americans in Northern Burma.

In July 1942, twenty OSS men moved in and set up headquarters at Nazira in the northeastern Indian province of Assam. No operations of any significance occurred until the end of 1942. Starting in 1943, small groups or individuals were parachuted behind Japanese lines to remote Kachin villages, followed by a parachute supply drop. The Americans then began to create independent guerrilla groups of the Kachin people, calling in weapons and equipment drops. In December 1943 Stilwell issued a directive that Detachment 101 increase its strength to 3,000 guerillas. They were recruited from within Burma, many of them "fierce Kachins".

Once established, the groups undertook a variety of unconventional missions. They ambushed Japanese patrols, rescued downed American pilots, and cleared small landing strips in the jungle. They also screened the advances of larger Allied forces, including Merrill's Marauders.

Eifler held the rank of colonel when he was relieved because of serious head injuries, Lt. Col. William R. Peers taking over command. At the end of the war, each Kachin Ranger received the CMA (Citation for Military Assistance) Award. Actually, the medal was the result of a mistake. An OSS officer, reading a radio message that advised him how to reward heroic Kachin action, misinterpreted the abbreviation for "comma" ("CMA") as signifying some sort of a medal. Reluctant to leave the Kachins empty handed, the OSS quickly created the medal and presented it to them.

The band toured Europe and the US to promote the album. At the Juno Awards of 2007, the album was nominated for Instrumental Album of the Year.

Bell Orchestre released its second album, As Seen Through Windows on March 10, 2009. It was recorded in Soma Electric Studios in Chicago. At the Juno Awards of 2010, the album won the award for Instrumental Album of the Year.

Can anyone expand this entry any further? It would be great to see a synopsis af all six episodes as well as more to do with the critical reaction. My tapes of this vanished years ago so i can't help much beyond what i've done.

Thanks

Logan1138 15:46, 4 October 2005 (UTC)

The main basis of the so called "critical reaction" was people saying "It doesn't really look like the 1960s", comments made by people who were either under 5 years old, or unborn IN the 1960s, so how the hell would they know? It is probably one of the most well written and original pieces that Matthews and Linehan have produced, it was unfortunately aimed at an audiance that was too up its own arse or thick to appreciate both the humour and the subtlety. People who read this and get irate about it would fall in the same category. Deal with it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.179.110.2201:05, 7 January 2007 (talk • contribs) Nick Cooper (talk) 15:25, 22 January 2009 (UTC)

Deathstalker is a science fiction novel by British author Simon R. Green.

The second in a series of nine novels, Deathstalker is part homage to – and part parody/satire of – the classic space operas of the 1950s, and deals with the timeless themes of honour, love, courage and betrayal.

Plot introduction
Set in a far-future fictional universe, Deathstalker follows the life of Owen Deathstalker, a minor aristocrat and historian, as he is catapulted from a life of quiet luxury and academic pursuit into a galaxy-wide rebellion against the empire in which he lives.
