First time I saw Jack deJohnette live, almost 40 years ago, was in Vienna, an outerworldly concert with Jarrett and Peacock, but most impressive was this melodious drummer hovering over his drum set to effortlessly paint rhythms. A genius will be missed.

Neben Klimawandel, Artensterben & Krieg waren die vielen armen Menschen, die jeden Tag heulend im Supermarkt zusammenbrechen weil sie den Veggieburger nicht von ihrem Fleischburger unterscheiden konnten, sicherlich eines der größten Probleme der Menschheit. Gut dass wir wenigstens das gelöst haben.

In a synthesis of over 3000 population trends in the Wadden Sea, we show a substantial reorganization of biodiversity with over 38% of populations undergoing significant change (i.e., increases or decreases), identify winners and losers and critical time points of change! dx.doi.org/10.1111/gcb....
