Mantle Hood explained ethnomusicology as being the "study of music wherever and whenever." While his teacher Jaap Kunst wrote the two volumes of Music in Java without actually playing any of the music, Hood required that his students learn to play the music they were studying. While Hood was not the first ethnomusicolo...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bi-musicality
The approach enables the researcher to, in some manner, learn about music "from the inside", and thereby experience its technical, conceptual and aesthetic challenges. The student is also able to better connect socially with the community being studied and have better access to the community's rituals and performances....
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bi-musicality
Hood applied the term to music the same way a linguist would when describing someone who spoke two languages. He also strongly proposed that musicology students should know the spoken language of the musical culture being studied. This led to the breakdown of the steadfast rule of having to have competence in French an...

"This emphasis upon music as communication, human understanding, and world peace, not only through musical performance, but also through research, teaching, and other forms of dissemination, is one of the greatest gifts Mantle Hood has given to ethnomusicology."

Sifa is a type of deadman's control system used on German-influenced European railways. Although deadman's pedals are commonly used on railways worldwide, Sifa systems are specifically those codified by German Industrial Norms VDE 0119-207-5. In Switzerland the equivalent system is called 'safety control' (Sicherheitss...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sifa
Sifa is short for Sicherheitsfahrschaltung, German for "safety driving circuit". It is usually a pedal and/or large press button, which monitors the alertness of the driver. The driver has to repeatedly press a button after a fixed interval; if they fail to do so, the train will carry out an emergency stop. It compleme...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sifa
In Europe the Zeit-Zeit-Sifa (time-time Sifa) is common. In this system, the engine driver holds a pedal or button down for 30 seconds and must then briefly release the pressure. Thus the system can confirm that the driver is still able to react.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sifa
If the driver does not react after 30 seconds, the system warns the driver, at first optically, then for a few seconds acoustically. After a further short period of time without any reaction the train is automatically stopped. The Zeit-Weg-Sifa (time-distance Sifa) system takes account of the distance travelled, as wel...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sifa
In electric trains such as those working on U- and S-Bahn lines the Sifa has for a long time been combined with the driving switch. This is where the concept of the dead man's switch first arose. If the button was released (due to the driver becoming incapacitated) the train was automatically stopped.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sifa
Drivers must carry out a Sifa test before using a train, to check that the automatic braking is functioning correctly. Following some serious accidents in which drivers fell asleep but somehow the pedal was still being activated, the Deutsche Reichsbahn in East Germany introduced a special type of Sifa (Sifa86). Here t...
