I had a really wholesome experience at the university. I especially loved not having many students in a workshop because this meant I could engage in the subject matter more intimately with my peers and lecturers and absorb the content we were learning. The teachers were always readily available and gave of their time and efforts to their students. There were also many...

86036-2 - DEJAN TERZIC QUARTET: Four For One
Dejan Terzic - drums
George Garzone - tenor and soprano saxophone
Roberto Di Gioia - piano
Dietmar Fuhr - bass
The new generation of jazz drummers have finally found their way into the spotlight and refuse to reduce themselves to the ranks ot obedient sidemen. This new stance has spawned a surprising side effect. In the not so distant past, it was nearly obligatory to use sheer volume as the means ot gaining attention. Today's drummer, in the foretront and fully aware of his responsibility to the music, treads lightly through this new awareness. As bandleader, musical director and catalyst, the new drummer sits at the command of the structural dynamics! Quite an intimidating course of events… one could easily forgive our apprentice leader for sub-conciously retreating in light of such responsibilities. We need look no further than the current plethora of drummer-led productions in which the protaganist looms so far in the background that the listener can only guess who's in charge! A fortunate exception is this first offering from 28 year old German drummer/composer/big band leader Dejan Terzic.
A resident of Nürnberg since 1990, Dejan attended the renowned "Meistersinger konservatorium", where he studied Jazz and Modern classical music. Initially undecided in his preferences, Dejan travelled to New York in the summer of '91. There he signed up at the Vermont Jazz Center, run by legendary jazz guitarist Attila Zoller and made quick acquaintance to the residing jazz greats, including Jimmy Cobb, Tal Farlow and Don Friedman. It was Zoller, however, who initiated Dejan into the magic of improvised music.
In New York City Dejan applied to the "Drummers Collective" and studied there with Marvin "Smitty" Smith and Mike Clarke, as well as Bill Stewart. Back in Germany he resumed studies at the "Wurzburg Konservatorium" with drummer Billy Elgart, joined the Bavarian Youth Jazz Orchestra, jumped into his first professional gig in saxophonist Hubert Winter's quartet, joined the German Youth Jazz Orchestra under the direction of Peter Herbolz-Heimer and began to record with a number of groups, including the sextet "Ugetsu".
The recipient of several awards ("Best drummer" at the newcomers jazz festival in Krakow,Poland 1994 ; "Best musician" at the international jazz festival in Oberkochen, Germany 1995 ; 1st place at the newcomers jazz festival in Leipzig, May 1995 ; the city of Nürnberg's cultural prize in 1997) Dejan consolidated his many talents with the formation of his own "Sunday Night Orchestra" in 1994. The CD you hold in your hands represents the latest chapter in a steady stream of mile-stone achievements. Dejan's dream band performing his personal favorite tunes!
With George Garzone, Dejan has acquired the services of one of the most exciting tenor players of our time. The high school teacher from New York has led one of the music's longest surviving free jazz trios "The Fringe", as well as enjoying long musical associations with such esteemed colleagues as Mike Manieri, Peter Erskine, Joe Lovano, Daniel Humair, George Russell and Eddie Gomez. The apparent ease in which he straddles stylistic boundaries between straight ahead and the avant garde has influenced a new generation of saxophonists. George's strong, individual and, above all, uncompromising sound is an integral factor in the soundscape of all eight titles.
Born in Italy, pianist Roberto Di Gioia represents one of Europe's most versatile and expressive keyboardists. Witness here a major stylist at work with limber, fanciful lines supported by churning block chords.
Bassist Dietmar Fuhr from Cologne, checks in as the ideal point man with a huge tone and an undeniable presence.
And there you have it, a musician's quartet born out of a fortuitous performance at the 1998 East-West jazz festival in Nürnberg; who, recognizing a common bond, assembled to document Dejan Terzic's originals, Childish Things, Big Argument, Loose Ends, and Four For One as well as carefully chosen standards Night's Shadow, Spartacus (an adaptation of Maria Schneider's big band chart on "Love theme from Spartacus") Green Dolphin Street, and the ballad, My Romance (a request of George Garzone's) in their undeniably striking manner.

Surveillance drones NASA showed that New Orleans goes into the ground and water with a very non-uniform rate – some areas of the city "sink" at a speed of 5 centimeters per year, while others – only 3.5-4 cm, according to an article published in the journal JGR: Solid Earth.
"The authorities can use the data to improve the effectiveness of measures to slow down and prevent this process, which should help New Orleans and connected to the city coastline continue to exist. In addition, data collected by us will allow us to better predict those areas that are most strongly affected by the floods, which will help us save more lives of people ", – said Kathleen Jones (Cathleen Jones) from the jet Propulsion Laboratory of NASA in Pasadena (USA).
Today, many coastal cities in North America and Europe, including Washington and New York, are at risk of flooding due to the special geological phenomenon – the so-called subsidence of rocks. Such "immersion" can occur for various reasons – this may be to blame as the people pump water from artesian wells and a variety of geological processes, caused by the melting of glaciers in the distant past, and other unrelated things with people.
It tells Jones, something similar happens in the vicinity of New Orleans and the entire southern coast of the United States has tens of thousands of years as a result of growth in sea level caused by the melting of the polar ice cap. In the Mississippi Delta area is a dive into the ground offset by silt deposits, sand and other rocks that fell on land in the river and flood spills.
The construction of dams, weirs and other river constructions changed the picture for the worse – now nothing to prevent subsidence of soil under the New Orleans and other settlements in the Mississippi Delta. Experts from NASA decided to calculate the rate at which it is immersion, and tried to reveal the inner background of this process.
To do this, geologists from the Jet Propulsion Laboratory used special radar mounted on board the drone UAVSAR. These instruments are, according to their creators, are able to "see" the difference in height of the surface in a fraction of a centimeter, which allowed scientists to accurately measure how quickly sank into the ground, not only certain areas of New Orleans, but also at home, and even parts of buildings, combining images 2009- 2012.
As it turned out, the city plunges into the water and the ground is extremely uneven – in some areas the height of the fall speed of 5 centimeters per year, whereas in others it is almost two times less. Such differences, scientists say, suggests that the submerged New Orleans to blame not only the geological processes, but also people.
The main "contribution" to the person in this process lies in two things – in the drainage and discharge of water from some boggy areas of regions, as well as in the construction of artesian wells and the pumping of water from the soil. All this, according to experts from NASA, accelerates the process of subsidence of rocks and makes the coastline of Louisiana vulnerable to the action of natural forces, as was demonstrated in 2005 by Hurricane Katrina.

Your session is designed to be relaxed and fun to capture the 'real' you. We will take a slow run into the session to allow everyone to get comfortable with each other and around the camera. Think about your favourite family activity, item or hobby, something that represents you, and/or your child, that we could incorporate into the session.
Being a natural light photographer I shoot on location, at a beach, park or urban landscape, or in your home. It's great for kids to be able to run around and be themselves to create natural images and for them to feel comfortable.
I am available all over Sydney and have limited availability so it is best to get booked in early. Sessions normally last around 1.5 to 2 hours.
Clothing choice can be very important to create modern, simple images. It is best to avoid big logos and wording as well as characters and bold prints as these will date your images. I also advise against dressing everyone in the same outfit (blue jeans and white top). Think of a few complimentary colours and work around them to select each members outfits. Simple clothing mixed with great accessories always works well.
I'd love to chat with you more so please contact me for further information or to make a booking.

School can safely reopen if they follow two important procedures, studies find
TORONTO -- Effective contact tracing and virus testing are essential for the safe reopening of schools during the COVID-19 pandemic, according to two new studies.
The studies, published Monday in The Lancet Child & Adolescent Health journal, found that there are low levels of coronavirus transmission in schools when public health measures are in place.
The first study used modelling data to analyze whether a second wave of infections could be avoided in the U.K. if safety measures are enhanced in schools as they reopen. The second study analyzed real-world data from the first wave of COVID-19 infections in New South Wales, Australia to understand virus transmission in schools and nurseries.
Both studies concluded that schools can operate safely if effective virus control measures are in place.
In a linked commentary discussing the studies, London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine professor W. John Edmunds said both studies provide other countries with potential options on how to keep schools open amid the pandemic.
However, without knowing age-related differences in susceptibility or how COVID-19 transmits between children, he said more research is still needed.
"We urgently need large-scale research programmes to carefully monitor the impact of schools reopening… Only in this way can we take the most appropriate measures to mitigate the risks and allow us to reassure parents, pupils, and teachers alike that schools are safe to attend," Edmunds said.
Edmunds added that both studies point to the "clear importance of adequate contact tracing and testing" needed to ensure schools remain a safe place for students and staff.
"There are no quick fixes to this terrible pandemic. However, it is becoming increasingly clear that governments around the world need to find solutions that allow children and young adults to return to full-time education as safely and as quickly as possible," Edmunds said.
The first study, led by researchers at University College London and the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine (LSHTM), found that a second wave of infections in the U.K. could be avoided with increased levels of testing, contact tracing and isolation measures as schools reopen.
Assuming 68 per cent of virus contacts could be traced, researchers reported that 75 per cent of children with symptomatic infection would need to be diagnosed and isolated if schools return full-time in September. The study found 65 per cent of individuals infected would need to be diagnosed and isolated if schools resumed on a part-time basis.
If only 40 per cent of contacts could be traced, these figures would need to increase to 87 per cent and 75 per cent respectively, according to the study.
If levels of diagnoses and contact tracing were to fall below these figures across the U.K., the study found that the reopening of schools combined with the gradual relaxing of lockdown measures would likely result in a second wave approximately double the size of the original COVID-19 wave.
The study's modelling data suggests that a secondary wave could peak in December 2020 if schools are open full-time and in February 2021 if students return part-time.
Dr. Jasmina Panovska-Griffiths, who led the study, said in a press release that it is possible for schools to safely open amid the pandemic alongside other economic reopening plans. However, she cautioned that local governments must ensure that testing, tracing and isolation capacity is increased before schools do so.
"…School reopening is likely to go hand in hand with more adults returning to work and other relaxed measures across society. Therefore, our results are reflective of a broader loosening of lockdown, rather than the effects of transmission within schools exclusively, suggesting an effective test–trace–isolate offers a feasible alternative to intermittent lockdown and school closures to control the spread of COVID-19," Panovska-Griffiths said in the release.
The study assumed that children were as infectious as adults, but since the level of infectiousness in kids is non-conclusive, researchers also re-ran the model reporting children at 50 per cent as infectious as adults. Both tests yielded the same results.
Although rates of asymptomatic transmission of COVID-19 are unclear, the study assumed that asymptomatic infections account for 30 per cent of transmitted infections.
Despite warnings of a second wave, one of the senior authors of the study Chris Bonell said schools should not remain closed.
"Our study should not be used to keep schools shut because of a fear of a second wave but as a loud call to action to improve the infection control measures and test and trace system so we can get children back to school without interrupting their learning again for extended periods of time," Bonell said in the press release.
"This is even more important in the context of opening up other areas of society."
While COVID-19 can still pose a risk to children, researchers noted that keeping schools closed for long periods of time may have negative impacts on kids including their physical health and mental wellbeing, and may also increase inequality.
The authors acknowledged that there were some limitations to the study. Although they modeled scenarios to resemble the U.K., some of the assumptions are based on data from different settings.
Researchers also noted that the study does not account for the behaviour of young people who are not in school.
The second study, led by the National Centre for Immunisation Research and Surveillance and the New South Wales Ministry of Health, tracked COVID-19 spread in 25 schools and nurseries in Australia from January to April.
The study found that the risk of children and staff transmitting the novel coronavirus in these educational settings was "very low" when contact tracing and other control measures are in place.
The study reported that 27 people -- 12 children and 15 teachers -- attended school while infected. These infections occurred at 15 schools and 10 nurseries which all temporarily closed for thorough cleaning after an infection was reported.
Researchers interviewed all those infected or their guardians at diagnosis to track their attendance at school as well as any contact with other people during the time they were infectious. Close contacts were monitored with regular phone calls and asked to quarantine for 14 days. If they began to show symptoms, they were asked to take a test.
Out of the 1,448 close contacts identified, the study reported that only an additional 18 people in three schools and one nursery later became infected.
The nursery outbreak was one of the largest, involving transmission from one adult to six adults and seven children. The study suggests that the transmission stemmed from staff rather than children and a number of children were likely asymptomatic.
However, the study noted that this outbreak occurred early on during the pandemic when testing criteria had not yet been expanded.
Unlike many other countries, Australia kept schools open when the COVID-19 pandemic hit with guidance in place for physical distancing and hygiene.
Researchers found that these enhanced safety measures, in addition to effective contact testing strategies, suggest that schools and nurseries do not pose a high risk for onward transmission of the virus.
There were some limitations to the study, the most notable being that the majority of close contacts were tested after developing symptoms. Researchers said some asymptomatic or milder cases may have been missed.
Additionally, children in New South Wales were encouraged by government and health officials to stay home and take part in at-home learning for the last few weeks of March. While schools did remain open, researched reported a drop in school attendance from 90 per cent to approximately 5 per cent.
Professor Kristine Macartney, Director of the National Centre for Immunisation Research and Surveillance, said that while the study adds valuable data about COVID-19 transmission in schools, its findings need to be viewed in context of New South Wales' overall outbreak.
"It may be that higher rates of transmission occur in areas with higher levels of infection and where contact tracing and public health measures were not as rigorous as in Australia, where borders were closed and quarantine measures were strongly enforced," Macartney explained in a press release.
Of the total of 1.8 million children in New South Wales, only 98 children were infected between January and April, accounting for 3.2 per cent of the country's total COVID-19 infections.
"Our findings are the most comprehensive data that we have yet on SARS-CoV-2 transmission in schools and early years education settings," Macartney said.

In the liner notes to Stop Making Sense, David Byrne got it right: "American money is the ugliest money in the world." (Byrne also claimed that the best way to keep your money from sticking together was to crumple it into little balls. See what you miss when you buy all your music as MP3s?)
Anyway, someone at the Bureau of Engraving and Printing felt that the five dollar bill unfortunately wasn't quite ugly enough, so they stuck a big Barney-purple 5 on it (note the carefully-clashing sans-serif typeface—wouldn't it be great if it turned out to be Arial?). Yes, this seems to be for real. Isn't that the most jaw-droppingly hideous thing you've ever seen?
"We wanted this redesigned bill to scream, 'I am a five. I am a five,"' Larry Felix, director of the Bureau of Engraving and Printing said in an interview with The Associated Press. "We wanted to eliminate any similarity or confusion on the part of the public between the $5 bill and the $100 bill."
Well, Larry, I don't like to tell a man his job, but have you ever considered not making all the bills the same color and size? That seems to work pretty well for, oh, every other country in the world. Actually, I know what Larry would say—every American says the same thing when you point this out to them. "Monopoly money!" Yes, it's true. Even a child's board game has better-designed money than the USA.
The original Monopoly design has an appealing simplicity, with slabby serifs and ball terminals in a classic transitional typeface, rather than that ludicrously bloated font on the greenback. The numbers are big and clear. There's an anti-counterfeiting pattern, and a rather sweet repeated train and house motif—in the real world, those could be little transparent windows in a polymer bill. Heck, the Bureau of Engraving and Printing should just adopt this design as is—after all, Monopoly was invented in the Depression so ordinary people could live the American dream of being property-owning capitalists. And its inventor seems to have stolen the idea. What could be more appropriate? It's the USA writ small.
