Walks plus hits per inning pitched - Walks plus hits per inning pitched In baseball, walks plus hits per inning pitched (denoted WHIP) is a sabermetric measurement of how many baserunners a pitcher is responsible for per inning pitched. It gives a general measure of a pitcher's ability to keep batters off base. A WHIP of around 1.15 or below will place a pitcher among the top ten in Major League Baseball. As indicated by the name, it is calculated by adding the number of walks plus hits allowed divided by the number of innings pitched. See also: baseball statistics.
Video game light gun - is the target the gun is pointed at. Essentially the diode tells the computer whether or not you hit something, and for n objects, the sequence of the drawing of the targets tell the computer which target you hit after 1 + ceil(log2(n)) refreshes (one to determine if any target at all was hit and ceil(log2(n)) to do a binary search for the object that was hit). An interesting side effect of this is that on poorly designed games, often a player can point the gun at a light bulb, pull the trigger and hit the first target every time. Better games account for this by not using the first target for anything. The second method, used by the Super Nintendo Entertainment System's Super Scope and the EGA's light pen, is.
Industrial Records - in addition to a host of other artists on the periphery of the music business including Clock DVA and The Leather Nun, plus outrage artist Monte Cazazza and the author William S. Burroughs. One of the most incongruous releases on the Industrial Records label was a version of the blues standard Stormy Weather sung by Elisabeth Welsh, taken from the soundtrack of Derek Jarman's film The Tempest. Industrial Records was perhaps even more important in P-Orridge's attack on the public consciousness than his band. Whereas contemporary Punk Rock bands were instantly co-opted into the music business, providing product for the teen-rebellion and fashion markets, Industrial Records output resolutely refused to compromise their stance, even to the audience they attracted. Marketing was purposely anti-commercial, ironic and propagandist. P-Orridge pointedly noted that gratuitous.
Genesis (band) - changing from a quintet to a quartet. Bill Bruford joined the band on tour in 1976 as drummer; later, the jazz fusion-trained Chester Thompson, a veteran of Weather Report and Frank Zappa, would take over live drumming duties, leaving Collins to step into the spotlight. When Steve Hackett left in 1977, Mike Rutherford took over his guitar duties, and now the group was a trio (Collins, Banks, Rutherford), a fact reflected in the title of their 1978 album ...And Then There Were Three. This album ushered in yet another change in Genesis' musical direction, to shorter, more singles-oriented tracks and away from 10-minute-plus progressive epics. It yielded their first American radio hit, "Follow You Follow Me". Duke had two huge hits for the band, "Turn It On Again" and "Misunderstanding", and.

Funkadelic - legal difficulties between Clinton and Revilot, The Parliaments' label, the name was abandoned in favor of Funkadelic, which consisted of the same group of people (that is, both the former Parliaments and their back-up band, now both combined in the name "Funkadelic"). The group signed to Westbound in 1968. The self-titled debut album was released in 1970. The credits listed organistist Mickey Atkins plus Clinton, Fulwood, Hazel, Nelson and Ross, though the actual recording also included several sessionmen, then employed by Motown, as well as Ray Monette (of the Rare Earth) and Bernie Worrell, all uncredited. Bernie Worrell was officially credited starting with Funkadelic's second album, 1970's Free Your Mind... and Your Ass Will Follow, thus beginning a long collaboration between Worrell and Clinton (who had been friends for quite a.

Duke Ellington - high quality version of this image...'' Duke Ellington was a major force in jazz from the 1920s through the 1960s and his work continues to be influential today. He is considered by many to be the greatest American composer. He had many hits including Take the A Train, Satin Doll, Rockin' in Rhythm, Mood Indigo, Caravan and Sophisticated Lady. Throughout the 1920s and 30s, Ellington often shared composer credit with his manager Irving Mills until they had a falling out in the late 1930s. Billy Strayhorn became Ellington's collaborator (not always credited) from 1940 until Strayhorn's death in the mid 1960s. His works were always tailored to the talents of the musicians in his band, including Johnny Hodges, Bubber Miley, Joe "Tricky Sam" Nanton, Barney Bigard, Ben Webster, Harry Carney, Sonny.
Duran Duran - screens, or on pay-TV channels like the Playboy Channel. Needless to say, the raunchy video (featuring topless women mud wrestling and other not-very-stylised depictions of sexual fetishes) created an uproar, and was consequently banned by the BBC (an edited version was aired on MTV); and needless to say, the band enjoyed and capitalized on that uproar. Later in 1981, the band went on their first United States tour, where they performed in venues such as The Roxy nightclub in Los Angeles and The Peppermint Lounge in New York, followed by more dates in Germany and the UK. From the very beginning, the band had a keen sense of style, and worked with stylist Perry Haines and fashion designers like Kahn & Bell and Anthony Price to build a hip, cutting-edge image..
USS Tennessee (BB-43) Part 5 - cordon and permit the landing marines to push through before they could be cut to pieces. Blandy's gunfire force arrived off Iwo Jima early on 16 February 1945. The morning was cool, with occasional rain squalls, and low cloud cover hindered spotting planes. Shortly after daybreak, the warships deployed to their stations, with escort carriers in the near distance providing air cover. Minesweeperss began to clear the approaches to the island at 0645, and gunfire opened at 0707. Tennessee's assigned firing course took her along the southeastern shore of Iwo Jima, and her 14-inch guns struck the slopes of Mount Suribachi while the secondaries aimed at the high ground at the north end of the beach. Floatplanes and fighters observing gunfire over the island were followed by dark puffs of antiaircraft.
Donna Summer - music singer best known for a string of disco music hits in the 1970d. Summer was a rarity in the 1970s disco scene because her career began before the disco explosion, and continued afterward. Even though she is one of the best known artists of the Disco era, Summer has covered different genres including R&B, rock and roll and inspirational music, earning her Grammy Awards in those categories. Her work is still critically acclaimed and remains one of the few disco artists accepted by modern rock critics. Born Donna Andrea Gaines in Boston, Massachusetts, Summer began performing in her church's choir. She later joined a rock group called the Crow. A few months before graduating high school, Summer dropped out and joined the German production of Hair. She eventually settled in.
USS Wahoo (SS-238) - sighted a destroyer with Ro-class submarines nested around it. The destroyer was getting underway, so Morton fired a spread of three torpedoes at the moving target. They missed and were observed going aft. Another fish was fired which the destroyer avoided by turning away, then he circled right and headed for Wahoo. The submarine watched the ship come, and she kept her bow pointed at it. Morton delayed firing the fifth and last torpedo in the forward tubes until the destroyer had closed to a frightening distance of 800 yards. This torpedo clipped him amidships "and broke his back. The explosion was terrific." The topside was covered with Japanese on turret tops and in the rigging. Over 100 members of the crew must have been acting as lookouts. The target's bow.

Angus Deayton - not to be, and he read languages at New College, Oxford, where he was recruited into a satirical revue for the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. This led to the creation of the parody band the Hee Bee Gee Bees in about 1980. Their best selling single "Meaningless Songs" (plus the B-side "Posing in the Moonlight") was a parody of the falsetto style of countless disco hits from English pop group the Bee Gees. The parody songs were written by Richard Curtis and Philip Pope. The foundation of Deayton's career was the parody of commercial/local British radio stations Radio Active transmitted on BBC Radio 4 between 1981 and 1987, which he both wrote and performed in. It transferred to television as KYTV between 1989 and 1993. 1990 was a busy year for Deayton.

Battle of Coronel - that time was Admiral Cradock's West Indies Squadron, which consisted of two armoured cruisers, HMS Good Hope (Cradock's flagship) and HMS Monmouth, the light cruiser HMS Glasgow, and a converted ex-liner, Otranto. Cradock's fleet was by no means modern or particularly strong, and certainly ill-matched when set against Spee's formidable force of five vessels, led by the armoured cruisers SMS Scharnhorst and SMS Gneisenau plus a further three light cruisers, all modern, efficient ships. Nevertheless he was ordered to deal with Spee. On 18 October 1914 Spee, having learned of the solo existence of the Glasgow, set off with all five warships from Valparaiso with the intention of destroying it. Cradock, who was aware that his shipping was outgunned by Spee's, had meanwhile been waiting in the hope of naval reinforcements..
