The Pinkpop Festival or PINKPOP is a large, annual music festival held at Landgraaf, Netherlands. It is held on the Pentecost weekend. If Pentecost falls on an early date in May, the festival is held in June. Starting in 1970, at Burgemeester Damen Sportpark in the town of Geleen, PinkPop is the oldest and longest running annual dedicated pop and rock music festival in the world. Nowadays, Pinkpop is a three-day festival, from Saturday through Monday when on Pentecost weekend, or Friday through Sunday otherwise, with a 60,000 people per day capacity, with performances on 4 separate stages. From 2006 through 2011, Pinkpop sold out six years in a row. During 44 editions, more than 2 million people have attended Pinkpop; some 700 music acts have played at the festival. In 1994, it was decided to sell only 60,000 tickets, to prevent overcrowding due to the popularity of the festival. In 1995, it was made into a 2-day festival. Two years in 1997, this was further expanded to three days. 2007 saw a spin-off in the year, on 11 August, called Pinkpop Classic, for an older rock audience, with bands that performed there in past decades.

This spin-off was held again in following years, with exception of 2011, in which the organisation was not able to sign enough interesting older bands. In 2008, Pinkpop was for the first time in its history not held on Pentecost weekend, which fell too early that year for the convenience of fans and performers alike; this was decided following the 2005 edition, in which the Pentecost weekend fell early and therefore Pinkpop could not convince many great performers to come play at the festival. Sales were disappointing in 2005, so by shifting the 2008 festival, the organisation hoped to solve these problems. Pinkpop 2008 turned out to have had the largest concert attendance to date; the dates for the 2010, 2013, 2015 and 2016 edition have been shifted as well, for similar reasons. The name consists of two parts.'Pink' comes from the Dutch word for Pentecost and'pop' comes from pop music. But a creative interpretation for the name combines the English word pink and the Dutch word pop, which means doll, thus forming the origin for the logo, a doll in a pink dress.

The precursor to Pinkpop was held on Pentecost Monday in 1969. It was free, called Pinknick because people were supposed to bring their own food. Only a free pig roast and free apples were provided by the organizers. Inspired by the Monterey festival from 1967, a number of hip local bands were persuaded to come and play unpaid. 10,000 visitors were attracted, ranging from pop music lovers to grandparents and their grandchildren. And families with empty shopping bags, loading up on apples. Pinkpop 2007 was held on May 26, 27 and 28 2007, it was the 20th time. On February 28, most of the line-up was revealed. Pearl Jam was announced to make their 3rd appearance on the Pinkpop stage, but they cancelled, for two of their members would become fathers in the Pentecost weekend. A Krezip replaced Amy Winehouse. Krezip started their gig playing Amy Winehouse's "Rehab". Pinkpop 2008 was held in the Landgraaf Megaland Park on 30 May, 31 May and 1 June 2008. On 10 and 17 December there were 3 bands announced to headline on each of the three festival days.

These headlining bands are the internationally renowned Foo Fighters and the reunited Rage Against the Machine. Pinkpop 2008 had the largest audience of concert attendees to date, with an average of just over 60,000 people arriving each of the three days, prompting the festival organizers to announce that 180,000 people had visited the festival; because the 42,500 available three-day passes sold out the actual number of unique visitors is 94,000. B Animal Alpha replaced Novastar. C Eagles of Death Metal replaced Chris Cornell. On 4 March 2009, the Pinkpop Board gave a press conference in Paradiso in Amsterdam, to answer questions from the press and announce which artists will be performing on Pinkpop 2009 will be announced. D Krezip replaced Depeche Mode, because lead singer Dave Gahan had to undergo a procedure after a tumor was spotted in his bladder two weeks before Pinkpop. Placebo replaced Depeche Mode as headliner. E Ryan Shaw replaced Wolfmother. Wolfmother was first planned on Sunday, but Triggerfinger covered their spot, so Ryan Shaw could play on Saturday.

The T-23 was a prototype tankette developed by the Soviet Union during the interwar period. Only 5 Examples of the vehicle were produced; the development of the T-23 began in 1929. The Red Army, now with experience from the earlier T-17 tankette, began development of the T-23; the design featured 2 crew members with a single 7.62 mm DT machine gun as the primary armament. The armour was up to 10 mm thick on the front and sides of the vehicle, it was equipped as well with a tail, similar to that of the T-18 tank. Many of the original design features of the tank were changed during the development; the T-23 was to contain the same 35 hp 4 cylinder engine as the T-18 light tank but this was changed to a larger 60 hp version to enable it to reach speeds of up to 40 km/h. The length of the tank was increased by 30 cm from original specifications; the T-23 never proceeded past the stage of a prototype stage. The design changes introduced to the tankette caused the price of production to rival that of the T-18 light tank itself, which had a much more powerful armament and a rotating turret.

There were only 5 examples produced before the project was scrapped in favour of licensing the Carden Loyd tankette from the United Kingdom in 1930. This design was subsequently modified into the T-27 tankette and began full production in 1931
