Deutsch Amerikanische Freundschaft or D. A. F. is an influential German electropunk/Neue Deutsche Welle band from Düsseldorf, formed in 1978 featuring Gabriel "Gabi" Delgado-López, Robert Görl, Kurt "Pyrolator" Dahlke, Michael Kemner and Wolfgang Spelmans. Kurt Dahlke was replaced by Chrislo Haas in 1979. Since 1981, the band has consisted of Görl. In interviews they claimed not to target anything or anyone specific while writing lyrics to be taken as a parody of words and phrases floating around in the public media. "Sato-Sato" and "Der Mussolini" are both examples of songs written around Delgado-López's fascination with the sound of a particular word. A few months before the 2003 invasion of Iraq, D. A. F. Released "The Sheriff"; the album Alles ist gut received the German "Schallplattenpreis" award by the "Deutsche Phono-Akademie", an association of the German recording industry. Görl described their sound on Alles is gut in Melody Maker in 1981: Most bands get a synthesizer and their first idea is to tune it!

They want a clean normal sound. They don’t work with the power you get from a synthesizer... We want to bring together this high technique with body power so you have the past time mixed with the future. Delgado described his new vocal style in the same interview: The singing isn’t like rock ’n’ roll or pop singing. It’s sometimes like in a Hitler speech, not a Nazi thing, but it’s in the German character, that crack! Crack! Crack! Way of speaking; the band determined early on. As Delgado said: It’s not only a part of image. It’s a serious matter because DAF from the first beginning didn’t want to imitate any American pop, rock or whatever. In fact we think there is a strong American influence in culture, music, everywhere. So in the first beginning one of our main content was to refuse to imitate rock ‘n’ roll, to refuse to sing in English. We don’t do that. We have our own identity. Our identity is not American identity; as a lyricist, Delgado's concerns throughout D. A. F.'s recording career have ranged from sardonic reflections on ideology and political violence, to journeys into a physical brutal, sometimes related from a child's point of view.

Having grown up as the child of working class Spanish immigrants in Wuppertal, coming of age in the politically polarized era of the German Autumn (his response the left-wing extremism of that time being thematized in the 2003 song "Kinderzimmer", he was blunt and unromantically detached about social reality in West Germany, unapologetic about the provocative potential of his songs. As performers and media personalities D. A. F. Were, much like New York's Suicide, forerunners of 1980s synthpop duos, such as the Pet Shop Boys and Soft Cell, in that the singer appears extroverted while the one who plays with the electronics appears quiet and reserved. Visually, at least from Alles ist gut until 1st Step to Heaven, they cultivated an image of black leather, hairy chests, sweat. Gabi's hairy chest made a comeback appearance in the 2003 promotional video for "Der Sheriff", a song about the George W. Bush administration. Görl came to Düsseldorf in August 1978 and met Delgado as both were regulars at punk club Ratinger Hof.

Görl noted, "The earliest line up of DAF was me in the basement of the Ratinger Hof. We created our basic ideas and we had a strong will as a duo. Gabi Delgado played the stylophone and I played the drums." Several early Neue Deutsche Welle bands formed from this social group, Görl and Delgado played with multiple other bands. The first two D. A. F. Albums featured a range of styles, their first album, Ein Produkt der Deutsch-Amerikanischen Freundschaft, was released in 1979 on Dahlke's Ata Tak label. The album was 22 improvised untitled instrumentals, Delgado having temporarily left the band at the time; the band moved to London. As Delgado noted, "at that time if you wanted to do new music you’d go to London because, the center, not Düsseldorf." Daniel Miller signed DAF to Mute Records because "they weren’t relying on past rock traditions at all, the criterion of what goes on Mute." DAF recorded Die Kleinen und die Bösen for one side studio and most of the other side live. Some songs featured thrashed guitars, electronic screeching, hammered drums while Gabi screamed and ululated.

DAF shrank to just Delgado and Görl, who signed to Virgin Records and released Alles Ist Gut, their breakthrough album. The band became pop stars in Germany and gained great critical acclaim in the UK. Görl played drums — fairly simple and unsyncopated patterns, but with simple variations that prevented them sounding robotic — while Delgado sang; the only other instruments used were Korg MS-20 and ARP Odyssey analogue synthesizers driven by a Korg SQ-10 analog sequencer. Only a single sequencer-driven line would be used for a song, the sequence functioning both as melodic accompaniment and as a bassline; the song "Der Mussolini" is a perfect example of this. On other songs, such as the title track, certain notes of the sequence were set out of tune. Overall the songs entail a complex tension between the predominantly visceral, the relentlessly robotic, the drums, which lie somewhere in between. One song, Der Räuber und der Prinz (The Robber and the P

Restricted use pesticides or "RUP" are pesticides not available to the general public in the United States. The "Restricted Use" classification restricts a product, or its uses, to use by a certificated pesticide applicator or under the direct supervision of a certified applicator; this means that a license is required to apply the product. Certification programs are administered by the federal government, individual states, by company policies that vary from state to state; this is managed by the United States Environmental Protection Agency under the Worker Protection Standard. Pesticides are classified as "restricted use" for a variety of reasons, such as potential for or history of groundwater contamination. Atrazine is the most used restricted-use herbicide, however there are over 700 such "restricted use" pesticides as of 2017. Many insecticides and fungicides used in fruit production are restricted use; the list is part of Title 40 of the Code of Federal Regulations. The Worker Protection Standard identifies the type of requirements that must be satisfied to obtain the proper license needed to purchase and apply restricted use pesticide.

Worker Protection StandardThe Hazard Communication Standard requires all employers to disclose all hazards to employees separately from the WPS. Licensed pest control supervisors must maintain application records for 3 years or more, as determined by state and federal laws; these records must identify the date and type of pesticide, applied. Additionally, the licensed pest control supervisors must notify the local government agency, responsible for air quality to satisfy laws governing the Right to know regarding public health and safety risks when restricted use pesticides are applied outside buildings.
