Hydra may refer to:
The Hydra 70 rocket is a 2.75-inch fin-stabilized unguided rocket used primarily in the air-to-ground role. It can be equipped with a variety of warheads, and in more recent versions, guidance systems for point attacks. The Hydra is widely used by US and allied forces, competing with the Canadian CRV-7 which is physically interchangeable.
The Hydra 70 is derived from the 2.75-inch Mk 4/Mk 40 Folding-Fin Aerial Rocket developed by the United States Navy for use as a free-flight aerial rocket in the late 1940s. The Mk 40 was used during the Korean and Vietnam wars, being used to provide close air support to ground forces from about 20 different firing platforms, both fixed-wing and armed helicopters.
The main change made to produce the Hydra was the Mk. 66 motor which uses a new propellant that offers considerably more thrust, 1,335 pounds-force (5,940 N) (Mod 2/3) 1,415 pounds-force (6,290 N) (Mod 4). The fins of the Mk 40 flipped forward from the rear when the rocket left the launching tube, but in the Hydra they are curved to match the outside diameter of the rocket fuselage and flip sideways to open, which is referred to as WAFAR (Wrap-Around Fin Aerial Rocket) instead of FFAR (folding-fin aerial rocket). To improve stability during the time while the fins are still opening, the four motor nozzles have a slight cant angle to impart a spin while the rocket is still in the launch tube.
Hydra is the second studio album by American rock band Toto, released in 1979. It reached #37 on the Billboard Pop Albums. While most of the album's singles failed to make any impact in the charts, "99", a song inspired by the 1971 science fiction movie THX 1138, reached #26 on the Billboard Hot 100.
Though a commercial success, Hydra was far less popular than the band's top-selling debut. Allmusic suggested this was due to the band's failure to establish a distinctive, recognizable sound on either Hydra or their debut, which would have allowed listeners to immediately identify Toto's major hits with the band themselves. They also speculated that most listeners were not familiar with the film (namely, THX 1138) on which "99" was based, and thus found the lyrics hopelessly abstruse, preventing the song from becoming as big a hit as it could have been.
Critical response to the album was mixed. Allmusic's retrospective review made little judgment on the quality (noting only as an aside that the songs were "well-played"), instead discussing why it had failed to match the commercial success of their debut.
Super! is an Italian television channel owned by De Agostini. The channel was launched on September 1, 2010 as DeA Super on Sky Italia. After 2 years, it changed name to Super! on March 18, 2012. The network official speaker is voice actor Renato Novara.
Super! shows a variety of programs targeted towards children and teenagers. There are a number of original series, as well as acquired programming from Nickelodeon in the United States, including Sam & Cat, Zoey 101, Fanboy and Chum Chum, and more. Some acquired series on Super! are not Nickelodeon's, like SciGirls.
Super! was the first Italian television channel airing a Korean drama, Dream High, from September 1 to October 16, 2013, the only Korean television series broadcast in Italy. However, the series was heavily edited, and dubbed into Italian, names were changed to English alternatives (for example, Hye-mi became Sam, Sam-dong Brian, and Jin-guk Dylan), episodes split in two parts, some scenes cut to reduce the duration of the episodes or to censor the content unsuitable for young audiences, mainly blood. And finally a new Digimon series called Digimon Adventure tri.
Super is a 2010 American superhero dark comedy-drama film written and directed by James Gunn, starring Rainn Wilson, Ellen Page, Liv Tyler, Kevin Bacon and Nathan Fillion. The film premiered at the 2010 Toronto International Film Festival and was released in theaters in the United States on April 1, 2011 and on video on demand on April 13, 2011. The film was released unrated in U.S. theaters, and later received an R rating for its DVD/Blu-ray release.
Short-order cook Frank Darbo (Rainn Wilson) says in voice-over that he has only two good memories from a disappointing life: marrying his beautiful wife, Sarah (Liv Tyler), and an incident in which he directed a police officer to catch a purse snatcher. Frank immortalizes these two events in a pair of crayon drawings that he hangs on his wall for inspiration.
Later, Sarah, a recovering addict, leaves Frank for Jacques (Kevin Bacon), a charismatic strip club owner who gets her hooked on drugs. Frank sinks into depression, where he has a vision in which he is touched by the finger of God and meets the Holy Avenger (Nathan Fillion), a superhero from a public-access television show on the All-Jesus Network, who tells Frank that God has chosen him for a very special purpose. Frank believes that God has chosen him to become a superhero and goes to a local comic book store for inspiration. His claim that he is designing a new superhero is met with enthusiastic appreciation from the foul-mouthed store clerk, Libby (Ellen Page). Frank creates a superhero costume and assumes the identity of "The Crimson Bolt."
The .40 Super is an automatic pistol cartridge developed in 1996 and introduced to the market by Triton Cartridge. The cartridge was co-developed by Fernando Coelho and Tom Burczynski.
In 1994 Triton Cartridge, an ammunition company based in upstate NY, released a cartridge called the .45 Super. Essentially, the .45 Super is based on a .451Detonics case trimmed to .45 ACP length. Pioneered by writers Dean Grennell and the late Tom Ferguson, the .45 Super raised the performance level for .45 ACP-chambered autos beyond that of the .45 ACP+P and even the 10mm.
With the availability of the strong .45 Super cartridge case, in January 1996 Fernando Coelho (president and founder of Triton Cartridge) and Tom Burczynski (inventor of Hydra-Shok, Starfire and Quik-Shok bullets) began work on a new, more radical cartridge. Based on a .45 Super necked down to .40 caliber, the new cartridge began to take shape.
Actually, necking a .45 ACP to .40 caliber was nothing new. Before the public debut of the .40 S&W, Charles Petty, a well-known and respected writer, had already ventured into the bottleneck arena. His cartridge, called the “10mm Centaur”, was based on a .45 ACP case necked to .40 caliber using 10mm dies. Prior to that, Dean Grennell took .451Detonics cases and necked them down to 9mm, calling it the .38/45 Hard Head.
DIIV are an American rock band from Brooklyn, New York City, formed in 2011. The band consists of Zachary Cole Smith (vocals, guitar), Andrew Bailey (guitar), Devin Ruben Perez (bass), Colin Caulfield (keyboards, guitar) and Ben Newman (drums).
Initially called Dive, the band started as Smith's solo recording project. After releasing three singles - "Sometime", "Human" and "Geist" - on Captured Tracks, DIIV released its debut full-length album, Oshin, on June 26, 2012.
In 2016, the band released its second studio album, Is the Is Are, after a lengthy and troubled gestation period.
Zachary Cole Smith (former touring guitarist of Soft Black,Darwin Deez, and Beach Fossils) started a solo project in 2011. Smith, who originally named the project Dive after the Nirvana song of the same name, put together a live band that included guitarist and childhood friend Andrew Bailey (like Smith, from Connecticut), bassist Devin Ruben Perez (from New York City), and drummer Colby Hewitt (from California and formerly of Smith Westerns). Smith explained to Pitchfork that "everybody in the band is a water sign, that's kind of why the name Dive really spoke to us all."
Super Human
I'd have to be strong
Stronger than a mountain baby
To not crumble at the touch of your hand, of your hand
I'd have to stop time
To stop this love inside me baby
To not reach each night for you
To not need you like I do
I'd have to be super human
Made out of stone, made out of steel
To not feel what I'm feeling
To not love you baby, love you baby
I'd have to have the strength of 10 men
To ever resist a love strong as this
To not care like I do
I'd have to be, have to be super human
I'd call this all the greatest powers baby
I could hold the whole world here
In my hands, in my hands
And still I would be powerless to leave you baby
'Cause your touch is just too sweet
And I'm in this love so deep
I'd have to be super human
Made out of stone, made out of steel
To not feel what I'm feeling
To not love you baby, love you baby
I'd have to have the strength of 10 men
To ever resist a love strong as this
To not care like I do
I'd have to be, have to be super human
Even Hercules wouldn't have the strength to leave
Once he fell under the spell of your kiss
So how could I even try (tell me)
To leave your side and say goodbye baby...
I'd have to be super human
Made out of stone, made out of steel
To not feel what i'm feeling
To not love you baby, love you baby
I'd have to have the strength of 10 men
To ever resist a love strong as this
To not care like I do
I'd have to be, have to be super human
I'd have to be super human
Made out of stone, made out of steel
To not feel what i'm feeling
To not love you baby, love you baby
I'd have to have the strength of 10 men
To ever resist a love strong as this
To not care like I do
I'd have to be, have to be super human
I'd have to be super human
Made out of stone, made out of steel
To not feel what i'm feeling
To not love you baby, love you baby
I'd have to have the strength of 10 men
To ever resist a love strong as this
To not care like I do
I'd have to be, have to be super human
