Chanting
some great front row seats. We befriended this great security guard who was a great help in organizing the chant at the set-break. Once they came the chant was loud and audible to the band. Fishman had a look of surprise. Mike was very stoic and was not at all amused. However, Trey and Page were loving it. They were both cracking up. Hence, the "human sacrifice" and "death chant" comments from Trey. Trey and Page proceeded to discuss something ... and they were still laughing. Then they looked over at Mike and he shoke his head and started up

Its founder was Willy von Roy. The first issue was printed on February 26, 1899. In 1902 the edition was 1000 copies. History In 1907, German settlers in Tanga in the Usambara Post attacked the colonial policy of Governor Albrecht von Rechenberg. The latter then instructed his officials not to support the newspaper published in the state German school of Tanga sheet, after which the newspaper was set.

Albrecht von Rechenberg, who wanted to promote African agriculture and a Euro-Indian merchant class, rejected an intensification of immigration from Europe and a promotion of German agriculture in East Africa. He showed little sympathy for German Colonial Society, but was open to African cultures, including languages. In contrast, the Deutsch-Ostafrikanische Zeitung represented the position of the German-born settlers. A popular topic of the Deutsch-Ostafrikanische Zeitung was the confrontation with the northern neighbors, the Maasai. The newspaper quoted affirmatively Bishop Jean-Joseph Hirth (1854-1931) from Ukara, according to which the peace in

The first issue appeared on August 22, 1908, but was not bought by the German settlers. The government withdrew the 250 German government subscriptions from the Deutsch-Ostafrikanische Zeitung, did not print any more official advertisements, and took the concession to print the Official Gazette of German East Africa as well as Der Pflanzer. Von Roy then published printed matter with similar-sounding names: Official Advertisements for German East Africa and The German East African Planter

(first edition June 19, 1909). Passavant, a journalist of the German East African Rundschau, researched that in 1899 a punishment had been imposed on Roy in a Bagatellsache. As a result, the German East African Newspaper reported that von Rechenberg had a homosexual relationship with one of his servants. Roy was sentenced in November 1910 by a court for [halitosis] to half a year in custody and deportation to the German Reich. Wilhelm II lifted the prison sentence, but not the expulsion from German East Africa. Von Roy appointed Alfred Zintgraff as publisher for the Deutsch-Ostafrikanische Zeitung in 1911.

Devil's Punch Bowl
Etymology & Natural history
Devil's Punch Bowl Etymology The name Devil's Punch Bowl dates from at least 1768, the year that John Rocque's map of the area was published. This was 18 years before the murder of the unknown sailor on Gibbet Hill, so this event was clearly not the origin of the name. Prior to 1768, it was marked as "ye Bottom" on a map by John Ogilby dated 1675. The northern end of the Bowl is known as Highcombe Bottom which exists in different variants: Hackombe Bottom, Hacham Bottom, and Hackham Bottom. Natural history The soil in this part of Surrey has

Natural history & Local legends
two layers — an upper layer of sandstone, with clay beneath. This deep depression is believed to be the result of erosion caused by spring water beneath the sandstone, causing the upper level to collapse. With its steep sides, the Devil's Punch Bowl has become a natural nature reserve, filled with heathland, streams and woodland. The site has abundant wildlife. Most woodland species can be seen easily - including lesser spotted woodpecker and redstart. It has been known for the wood warbler, a rare summer visitor, but the last documented sighting was in 2009. Local legends Local legend has colourful theories

According to one story, the Devil became so irritated by all the churches being built in Sussex during the Middle Ages that he decided to dig a channel from the English Channel through the South Downs and flood the area. As he began digging, he threw up huge lumps of earth, each of which became a local landmark — such as Chanctonbury Ring, Cissbury Ring and Mount Caburn. He got as far as the village of Poynings (an area known as the Devil's Dyke) when he was disturbed by a cock crowing. (One version of

The devil assumed that dawn was about to break and leapt into Surrey, creating the Devil's Punch Bowl where he landed. Another story goes that, in his spare time, he hurled lumps of earth at the god Thor to annoy him. The hollow out of which he scooped the earth became the Punch Bowl. The local village of Thursley means Thor's place. An alternative version of this story says that Thor threw the earth at the Devil, who was annoying

The founder of the Dhammayietra was Maha Ghosananda (Khmer: សម្តេចព្រះមហាឃោសានន្ទ), a Buddhist monk who ranked among the higher echelons of the Cambodian sangha; he led the first Dhammayietra as he returned from exile following the war. In 1995, the Dhammayietra consisted of almost 500 Cambodian Buddhist monks, nuns and precept-taking lay people. They were joined by The Interfaith Pilgrimage for Peace and Life.

After this mass defection, monks were tolerated in the area. The 1994 Dhammayietra, which also aimed to march through Pailin failed to reach its destination due to heavy fighting in the province.

Diabolo Spread to the West The first known mention of a diabolo in the Western world was made by a missionary, Father Amiot, in Beijing in 1792 during Lord Macartney's ambassadorship, after which examples were brought to Europe, as was the sheng (eventually adapted to the harmonica and accordion). This noisy rattle consists of two hollow cylinders of metal, wood, or bamboo, joined together in the middle by a cross-piece. Each of the cylinders is pierced by a hole in opposite directions. The rope loops around the crossbeam. By holding this rattle in the air, and moving it with speed, a

rapid current of air is established in each of the portions of the cylinder, and a snoring is heard, similar to that produced by the German spinning top. — Father Amiot The diabolo was part of a presentation of Chinese culture edited by stenographer Jean-Baptiste Joseph Breton in 1811-2 (La Chine en miniature). The toy's popularity waxed and waned throughout the 19th century. In 1812 the diabolo "was all the rage"; then it "enjoyed an ephemeral vogue" until it "finally fell into discredit" some time before 1861. Some consider the toy dangerous; injuries and deaths of players and bystanders have been claimed; and

Préfet de Police Louis Lépine once outlawed the game in the streets of Paris. The term "diabolo" was coined by French engineer Gustave Phillippart, who developed the modern diabolo in the early twentieth century, although credit has also been given to Charles Burgess Fry (The Outdoor Magazine in 1906) or Fry and Phillippart. The term is derived the name from the Greek dia bolo, roughly meaning "across throw". "In Greek, the term 'diaballo' means to throw across. It comes from a combination of 'dia' meaning across or through (as in the diameter of a circle, a line that crosses circle), and

The Greek word "diabolos" (the devil, originally "the liar" or "the one that commits perjury", from the verb "diaballo", which means "to throw in", "to generate confusion", "to divide", or "to make someone fall", later used by Christian writers as "the liar that speaks against God"), from which many modern languages' words for "devil" (French: jeu de diable, diable, Italian: diavolo, Spanish: diablo, Portuguese: diabo, German: Teufel, Polish: diabeł) derive, is unrelated. The term "loriot" was used in England, as well as "rocket-ball". Confusion about the provenance of the name may have arisen

from the earlier name "the devil on two sticks", although nowadays this often also refers to another circus-based skill toy, the devil stick. "In time 'diabolo' was retained for the spinning version of the Chinese stick toy while the hitting version of the stick toy was rendered into English as the Devil Stick." "Phillipart claimed Diabolo to be his invention. In reality, he had improved a Napoleonic toy, which in turn had originated long ago in China." However, Charles Parker acquired the U.S. license for the term diabolo in 1906, and the fad for the toy lasted until 1910 (caricatures of

The toy was even removed from the Parker Brothers catalogue, a rare occurrence (its two-year return in 1929 also failed). Another estimate for the fad is 1910 to 1915, while the fad in Paris is mentioned in Nature in 1893.

Chinese diabolos have been made of bamboo. Wooden diabolos were common in Victorian times in Britain. Rubber diabolos were first patented by Gustave Phillippart in 1905. In the late twentieth century a rubberised plastic material was first used. Metal has also been used, especially for fire diabolos.

Diabolos with more weight tend to retain their momentum for longer, whereas small, light diabolos can be thrown higher and are easier to accelerate to high speeds. Rubber diabolos are less prone to breakage but are more prone to deformations. More commonly used are plastic-rubber hybrids that allow flex but hold their shape.

"The string is placed between the circles, but in order for the diabolo to balance, it must maintain a spinning motion, much like a yo-yo." However, "considerably more skill is needed to twirl a diabolo...than the Yo-yo it resembles," and "the enthusiasts in the game assert that it takes much higher training of eye and muscle than lawn tennis."

independent status." Typically, the user pulls the stick in his or her dominant hand so that the string moves along the axle, turning it. "The player...swing[s] the string right and left." By doing this repeatedly and rapidly the diabolo rotates faster. The diabolo spin can be accelerated more quickly using various methods: the 'whip' rotates the diabolo faster by moving one handstick in front of the user's body and past the other handstick, the 'wrap' rotates the diabolo faster when the user wraps a loop of the string around the axle. Both methods increase the amount of string contact with

When the speed is great enough to stabilize the top in flight, just whip the sticks apart to toss it into the air. As the spool comes down you catch it on a sloping string and let it roll down into slack bunched near one end. Once spin speed is increased to a sufficient level that the diabolo is stable, the user can then perform tricks. "Skillful players can set

Depending on how long a trick takes to perform, the user will normally have to spend some time increasing the spin speed of the diabolo before performing other tricks. Skilled users can perform multiple tricks while maintaining the spin speed of the diabolo. "A skilled person [can] catch it, hurl it fifty or sixty feet into the air, then catch it again with little effort."

Diane Edelijn
Diane Edelijn Diane Hendrina Edelijn (born 12 June 1960 in Rotterdam, South Holland) is a former backstroke swimmer from the Netherlands, who competed for her native country at the 1976 Summer Olympics in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. There, she finished in eighth position in the 100m backstroke, while she was eliminated in the third heat of the 200m backstroke. With the Dutch relay team, Edelijn ended up in fifth place in the 4 × 100 m medley, alongside Wijda Mazereeuw (breaststroke), José Damen (butterfly), and Enith Brigitha (freestyle).

Diaphragm pacing
History
Diaphragm pacing History The idea of stimulating the diaphragm through the phrenic nerve was first firmly postulated by German physician Christoph Wilhelm Hufeland, who in 1783 proposed that such a technique could be applied as a treatment for asphyxia. French neurologist Duchenne de Boulogne made a similar proposal in 1855, though neither of them tested it. It wasn't until a year later that Hugo Wilhelm von Ziemssen demonstrated diaphragm pacing on a 27-year-old woman asphyxiated on charcoal fumes by rhythmically faradizing her phrenic nerves, saving her life. Duchenne would later in 1872 declare the technique the "best means of imitating

natural respiration". However, advances in mechanical ventilation by the likes of George Poe in the early twentieth century ended up being initially favored over phrenic nerve stimulation. Harvard researchers Sarnoff et al. revisited diaphragm pacing via the phrenic nerve in 1948, publishing their experimental results on dogs. In a separate publication a few days before, the same group also revealed they had an opportunity to use the technique "on a five-year-old boy with complete respiratory paralysis following rupture of a cerebral aneurysm". Referring to the process as "electrophrenic respiration", Sarnoff was able to artificially respirate the young boy for 52 hours.

History
The technology behind diaphragm pacing was advanced further in 1968 with the publication of doctors John P. Judson and William W. L. Glenn's research on the use of radio-frequency transmission to at whim "adjust the amplitude of stimulation, and to control the rate of stimulation externally". Teaming up with Avery Laboratories, Glenn brought his prototype device to commercial market in the early 1970s. By the early 1990s, long-term evaluations of the technology were being published, with some researchers such as Bach and O'Connor stating that phrenic nerve pacing is a valid option "for the properly screened patient but that expense, failure

rate, morbidity and mortality remain excessive and that alternative methods of ventilatory support should be explored". Others such as Brouillette and Marzocchi suggested that advances in encapsulation and electrode technologies could improve system longevity and reduce damage to diaphragm muscle. Additionally, new surgical techniques such as a thoracoscopic approach began to appear in the late 1990s. In the mid-2000s, U.S. company Synapse Biomedical began researching a new diaphragm pacing system that wouldn't have to attach to the phrenic nerve but instead depended on "four electrodes implanted in the muscle of the diaphragm to electronically stimulate contraction". The marketed NeuRx device received

several FDA approvals under a Humanitarian Device Exemption (HDE), one in 2008 and another in 2011. Methodology and devices The basic principle behind a diaphragm pacing device (the U.S. Food and Drug Administration identifies the device as a "diaphragmatic/phrenic nerve stimulator") involves passing an electric current through electrodes that are attached internally. The diaphragm contracts, expanding the chest cavity, causing air to be sucked into the lungs (inspiration). When not stimulated, the diaphragm relaxes and air moves out of the lungs (expiration). According to the United States Medicare system, phrenic nerve stimulators are indicated for "selected patients with partial or complete

Common patient diagnoses for phrenic nerve pacing include patients with spinal cord injury, central sleep apnea (i.e., Ondine's curse), and diaphragm paralysis. There are currently three commercially distributed diaphragm pacing devices: Synapse Biomedical, Inc.'s NeuRx (US), Avery Biomedical Devices, Inc.'s Mark IV Breathing Pacemaker (US), and Atrotech OY's Atrostim PNS (Finland).

and Mark IV devices, several surgical techniques may be used. Surgery is typically performed by placing an electrode around the phrenic nerve, either in the neck (i.e., cervically; an older technique), or in the chest (i.e., thoracically; more modern). This electrode is connected to a radiofrequency receiver which is implanted just under the skin. An external transmitter sends radio signals to the device by an antenna which is worn over the receiver. For the cervical surgical technique, the phrenic nerve is approached via a small (~5 cm) incision slightly above, and midline to, the clavic. The phrenic nerve is then isolated

In the case of the NeuRx device, a series of four incisions are made in the abdominal skin. Several tools such as a laparoscope and probe are used to find the best four locations on the diaphragm to attach four electrodes, which have connections outside the body.

Diaspora politics in the United States Political spheres Diaspora are politically active in three separate realms: their outsider influence on their homeland's domestic politics, the exercise of their domestic political rights within their host states, and their independent involvement at the international level. Domestic activism Some diasporas have become significant players in the domestic circles of their homelands according to Shain and Wittes. Diasporas are vocal in their declarations of support for elected homeland politicians or in voicing their belief that certain politicians in their homeland may be "betraying the national causes" as they see it.
