  Germania - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Map of the Roman Empire and "the free Germania", Magna Germania, in the early 2nd century.
Dating back to the Roman era, Germania was the Latin name for a geographical area that stretched from the west bank of the Rhine to a vaguely-defined eastern frontier with the forest and steppe regions of modern Russia and Ukraine (Sarmatia), where Slavic tribes dominated.
Germania was defined by Rome as having two regions: 'the inner Germania', west and south of the Rhine, occupied by the Romans, and 'the big Germania' (Magna Germania) east of the Rhine.

 Hermann the Cheruscan
In an incredible display of political skill that, at a time when every tribe was turned against another and the Cheruscans themselves were divided within, Hermann was able to gather a number of folks together and to use his full knowledge of Roman means of warfare to organize and ready them for victory.
This, as much as anything else, shows us how deep and thorough the conversion of Roman Gaul had been; it was a country in which Heathen leaders, even in a position of strength as the effective rulers of the land, thought it easier to convert than to hold true to their own folk-ways.
Instead, Heathenry survived as an active, living religion in Germania until Charles the Genocide's (Charlemagne's) war of destruction against the Saxons in the late eighth century--and the roots of this war were based on the politically-motivated conversion of the Gaulish Frank Clovis Kinslayer at the beginning of the sixth century.

 Optical glass composition - Patent 4999321
A glass composition comprised of about from about 50 to about 75 mole percent of germania, from about 10 to about 25 mole percent of an oxide selected from the group consisting of gallia, alumina, and mixtures thereof, and from about 10 to about 25 mole percent of gadolinium oxide.
The particle size analysis of the germania may be conducted by conventional means such as, e.g., with a Micromeritics SediGraph 5100 (available from the Micromeritics Instrument Corporation, Norcross, Ga.).
It is preferred that the germania used to prepare the glass composition of this invention be at least about 99.9 percent pure.

 Gallic empire
As others, however, have related with greater truth, the Gauls themselves, hating Gallienus most bitterly and being unwilling to endure a boy as their emperor, hailed as their ruler the man who was holding the rule in trust for another, and dispatching soldiers they slew the boy.
When he was slain, Postumus was gladly accepted by the entire army and by all the Gauls, and for seven years he performed such exploits that he completely restored the provinces of Gaul, while Gallienus spent his time in debauchery and taverns and grew weak in loving a barbarian woman.
As governor of Germania Inferior, Postumus was responsible for the war against the Franks, who invaded the Roman emperor again in the summer of 260 after the news of the defeat of Valerian.

 Upper Silesia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Upper Silesia (Czech: Horní Slezsko; German: Oberschlesien; Latin: Silesia Superior; Polish: Górny Śląsk; Silesian: Górny Sloonsk) was a southeastern part of Silesia, a historical and geographical region of Magna Germania, Greater Moravia, Kingdom of Bohemia, Poland, Holy Roman Empire, Prussia, Germany (Opole Voivodeship and Silesian Voivodeship) and to the Czech Republic (Silesian-Moravian Region).
The region is situated in the Silesian highlands, between the upper Oder and upper Vistula rivers.
At the time of Svatopluk I and emperor Arnulf of Carinthia Silesia was a part of Greater Moravia and after its destruction it became a part of Bohemia, who's dukes were also subject to the German Holy Roman Empire kings and emperors.

 Glass reveals secrets under pressure
As a 1 cubic millimeter GeO2 sample was pushed from 60,000 to 100,000 times ambient pressure, researchers witnessed the tetrahedral cages collapsing and an average of five oxygen atoms organizing around the germanium atom before the octahedral glass was formed.
This average coordination number of five still did not clearly resolve the question of whether this phase change in germania is continuous or discontinuous.
Researchers thought they may have seen a gradual mixture of five- and then six-fold germanium atoms in the structure as the pressure increased, but the result was still unclear.

 A History of Modern Germany since 1815: CHAPTER ONE
Catholics and Jews found their loyalty to the nation questioned, as did workers, who were accused by Emperor Wilhelm II of being "fellows without a fatherland." Many have argued that this failure to define the national community was one of the forces propelling Germany into the First World War.

The images show how the structure of germanium-dioxide glass changes as it is subjected to increasing greater pressure.
“Silica is the most important and most widely used glass,” said Benmore, “but we studied the softer germania (Ge) because it is a structural analog to silica and transforms to the octahedral form at much lower pressures than silica.
Germania also provides a greater contrast in the neutron and the X-ray studies, so the details appear more clearly.”

 Zillmer Reserves
Therefore a premium that remains constant for the whole term of the insurance policy is greater for the first year after the issue of the insurance policy than the yearly renewable term (YRT) premium; later the premium is smaller than the YRT premium.
The Germania has even experienced such a spectacular participation by the public that last year (1862) it issued insurance contracts in a sum of significantly more than $6 million and in the month April of this year alone, in a sum of more than $1 million.
The thus growing deficit will naturally be the greater, the greater the increase in new insurance policies is, and when the increase is sufficiently large, the deficit too will become so large that even a company with significant means could run into difficulties.
