Louis Deen

Loosdrecht, 14 April 1931 – Amsterdam, 15 April 2019 - was a Dutch anesthesiologist, professor, of Jewish  descent.

He came from an idealistic pacifist family of 6 children with a social-democratic background. His father Louis Deen senior was a furniture maker in the style of the Amsterdam School. His mother learned Esperanto. During the Second World War he went into hiding as an adolescent for 3 years, while a brother and sister were gassed in Sobibór during the same time.

He went on to study medicine and obtained his doctorate in medicine at the University of Amsterdam in 1955. After that, in fulfillment of his military service, he started training as an auxiliary anesthetist at the St. Antonius Hospital in Utrecht. He then followed the anesthesia course with professor Doreen Vermeulen-Cranch, the first (female) professor of anesthesia in the Netherlands. Here Deen worked with the Tank from Boerema. From 1971 to 1980 he was a lecturer and since then professor of anesthesiology in Amsterdam. He has successively worked in the Wilhelmina Gasthuis, the Binnengasthuis and the AMC. After his retirement in 1991, he still worked a few days a week as an anesthesiologist at the Jan van Goyen Medical Center in Amsterdam. He also regularly worked as an anesthesiologist in Suriname, such as in 2002.

In 2003 he was removed from the register of Medical Specialists as an anesthesiologist.

Deen was a member of the National Scientific Committee that organized the 10th World Congress of Anaesthesiologists in The Hague on 12-19 June 1992. Deen was a member of various subcommittees: Pulmonary Physiology, Inhalation Anesthetics, Obstetric Anesthesia, Anesthesia in Developing Countries and the Art Exhibition Committee.

In 1986, Deen made national headlines by administering anesthesia to a young gorilla who had suffered a broken jaw.

Deen regularly acted as an expert witness in the assessment of lawsuits, including the infamous case of the deceased toddler due to the mix-up of a nitrous oxide and an oxygen line by the mechanic in 1987.

Biography 

Poontang Riders was founded in the fall of 2005. The band is formed around the charismatic rock and roll frontwoman Suzan Deen with the aim of rocking the way rock is meant to be. No bullshit, just play nice and get the audience to listen to countless rocking and swinging songs. The band is ambitious and in good harmony. Large and small stages, bars, youth centers, festivals, from Alkmaar to Amsterdam to all corners of the world, no occasion is too big or too small. Poontang Riders diligently play every gig as if it were their last. In October 2006 'Poontang Fever' was released with 5 own songs, varying from heavy power rock to bluesy grooves. In February 2008, the studio of Ocki Klootwijk (including I`ve got the Bullets, v.o.f. de Kunst, Barry Hay and his Barking Dogs) recorded the new mini-cd 'Magnetized' in 'Rocktown'. The soon to be released CD contains 6 own songs which were mixed in mid-May by Rob van Boeckel of New Road Studios (Rich Wymann, Busted, Henk Westbroek, Dany lademacher). 'Magnetized' produces a new poontang sound that makes standing still almost impossible. You can already listen to and download the songs via the website www.poontangriders.nl. Love for music is the main motivation, with unbridled commitment and modest means we try to get as far as possible. In the meantime, Poontang Riders have built up a good live reputation in recent years and have become a well-known presence in the North Holland region. The preliminaries for the 'Indian Summerfestival' (21-06-2008) and the 'Pepperfestival' in Hoorn (6 September 2008), for example, went very well. The band was in good shape in Manifesto Hoorn as well as in Parkhof Alkmaar, so the individual juries were convinced and selected the band for the aforementioned festivals. Considering the sheer number of bands that took part, quite an achievement to be proud of and proof of its growing form and stature. The band is steadily working its way up, transferring passion, fun and enjoyment to the audience is our biggest challenge.

those who ROCK salute you.

Supermarket Deen

Deen is a Dutch supermarket chain with branches in North Holland, Flevoland, Utrecht, Gelderland and Overijssel.

The company was founded by Cornelis (Cor) Deen (1904-1992) from Hoorn, who opened his first shop there in 1933 with his wife Cornelia Wilhelmina Deen-Verkroost (1912-1985) on the Koepoortsweg. In 1953, Deen's first self-service store was also opened here. Cor Deen was succeeded by his sons Koos, Dirk and Fons, who were later succeeded by their children (source).

In 2021, all stores of the supermarket chain and distribution centers will be sold to Albert Heijn, Vomar and DekaMarkt. 

Dokter Deen

Dokter Deen is a Dutch drama series by Omroep MAX, written by Edwin de Vries and Simone Kome van Breugel. Edwin de Vries got the idea for the series when his wife Monique van de Ven almost cut off her thumb and was operated on by the real Doctor Deen on the spot on Vlieland. The ten episodes of the first season of the series were broadcast in the period from January 30 to April 2, 2012 around 10 p.m. on Nederland 1. Leading roles are played by Monique van de Ven, Pleuni Touw and Liz Snoijink, among others. In addition, the island of Vlieland and its colorful inhabitants play an important role (source).

Studio Deen

Studio Deen Co., Ltd. (株式会社スタジオディーン, Kabushiki gaisha Sutajio Dīn, sometimes written as "Studio DEEN" or "Studio DEAN") is a Japanese anime studio. 

The studio was founded in 1975 by employees of the company Sunrise, three years after Sunrise itself was founded. As a result, many of Sunrise studio anime, including Cowboy Bebop, are partly drawn by Studio Deen. 

The name Deen comes from Yūsha Raideen, the first series that the new studio collaborated on (source). 

Deen the singer

Fuad Bakovic, better known by his stage name Deen (born 4 December 1982 in Sarajevo), is a Bosnian singer.

Deen participated on behalf of Bosnia and Herzegovina in the Eurovision Song Contest 2004 with the song In the disco. It is called an homage to disco music. Because of the song's close resemblance to Donna Summer's music, it (as well as Deen himself) has often been the subject of heated debate. The song In the disco eventually ended up in ninth place (source).

Deen in religion

Deen is usually translated as 'the way' or 'religion'. People also find 'a way of life' a nice description that is sometimes used. If we look at the meaning of the word in the different Semitic languages, דין dīn in Hebrew/Armenian means something like 'law' or 'justice'. In Arabic, the two root letters D(a) N(oen) دين mean something like 'obligation' but are generally translated as religion (source)
