Ninjas
Ninjas
-Ninja(shinobi in Japanese) was a covert agent or mercenary in feudal Japan capable of working in unorthodox methods and arts of war. They were masters of espionage, sabotage, infiltration, assassination, and also open combat situations.
-They used covert methods of waging war, they clashed basically with the samurai, who had strict rules about honor and combat, where as ninjas don't care.
-By the time of the Meiji Restoration(1868), the time of the shinobi had become a topic of popular culture, and mystery and imagination. Some of the abilities included walking on water, invisibility, control over the natural elements.
History
-Pronounced shinobi, meaning "to steal away"
-Also can apply to kunoichi(female ninja), which became more known in the post WWII world
-Ninjas made their debut in the 15th century, as spies, raiders, arsonists, and even terrorists
-Among the samurai, a sense of ritual was established.
-There was a ranking system for ninjas. Spy was called kancho, scout was called teisatsu, surprise attacker was called kishu, agitator was called konran. Jonin was referred to as upper man, with chunin as middle man and genin as lower man, who were the ones to carry out the dirty work
Roles
Espionage
-Chief role of the ninja
-With the help of disguises, the ninja could gather info on enemies, obtain passwords, and communiques.
Sabotage
-Arson was the primary form of sabotage practiced by ninjas. They often targeted camps and castles
Assassination
-Most well known cases of assassination involves famous historical figures.
Countermeasures
-There were various measures to prevent ninjas. Such as weapons in lavatory, or under moveable floorboard, buildings made with traps and trip wires attached to alarm bells
-Japanese castles were made to be hard to navigate, with winding routes to the inner compound. Blind spots and holes in walls provided constant surveillance of these labyrinth paths. Such examples are seen in Himeji Castle, Nijo Castle in Kyoto. They are made with "nightingale floors", which rested on metal hinges specifically designed to squeak loudly if walked over. Grounds with gravel over it also gave early notice of intruders
Tactics
Hitsuke: practice of distracting guards by starting fire away from ninja's planned point of entry
Tanuki-gakure: practice of climbing a tree and camouflaging themselves
Ukigusa-gakure: practice of throwing duckweed over water to conceal underwater movement
Uzura-gakure: practice of curling into a ball to remain motionless to look like a rock

-Similar to the samurai, but loose clothing
-Lightweight armor for protection
Tools
-Ropes and grappling hooks for climbing

-According to Rolling Stone Magazine, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones and The Who complete the holy trinity of British rock. In 1990, The Who was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
History
-In 1962, influenced by American R&B and skiffle, Townshend and Entwistle started a Dixieland jazz band called The Confederates. Townshend played banjo and Entwistle played French horn. Roger Daltrey met Entwistle while walking down the street with a bass guitar over his shoulder and asked him to join his band called The Detours. After a few weeks, Entwistle suggested Townshend join up.
-This band played a variety of music, most of it inspired by American R&B, country music and jazz. The lineup consisted of Daltrey on lead guitar, Townshend on rhythm guitar, Entwistle on bass, Doug Sandom on drums and Colin Dawson on vocals
-The band wanted a recording contract and they were told they needed a better drummer. They used The Rolling Stones and The Beatles as a slight inspiration. In 1964, Sandom left the band and Keith Moon replaced him.
-In February 1964, The Detours changed their name to The Who. They became popular among the British 'Mods', which was a subculture in Britain involving cutting-edge fashion, scooters, R&B, soul and blues music.
-Their debut album was My Generation in 1965. This album had the tracks "The Kids are Alright" and the title track "My Generation". Also included were the tracks "Happy Jack" "I'm a Boy", "Pictures of Lily".
-Their most famous performance was at The Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus, where others "poor" performances were hailed as good. They came through with flying colors. While doing this, they performed the song "A Quick One While He's Away"
-In 1971, the band released it's Who's Next album. This one had tracks like "Baba O'Riley" "Won't Get Fooled Again". Both of which are used on CSI: NY and CSI: Miami.
-On Sept. 7, 1978, Keith Moon overdosed on Heminevrin, a drug used to combat alcohol withdrawal and died in his sleep.
-On dec. 3, 1979, while The Who was playing at Riverfront Coliseum in Cincinnati, OH, a crowd crush killed 11 fans and injured 26 others. This was due to festival seating, which is a seating arrangement that is basically the first to enter the venue is the one to get the best seats. When the fans heard the band's sound check, they mistook this for the concert starting, so they tried to force their way in. When the doors opened, people were trying to stampede in to get the best seats and the crowding became deadly.
-The band was not informed until after the show because police feared problems if the concert was canceled. The band was deeply hurt by what happened and they required safety precautions for future concerts.
-In 1996, Townshend, Entwistle, Daltrey performed their rock opera Quadrophenia with guest stars at a concert in Hyde Park. Zak Starkey, son of Beatles drummer Ringo Starr, sat in on drums.
-In Nov. 2003, The Who landed 7 albums in Rolling Stone Magazine's list of The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time, more than any other artist with the exceptions of The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen.
