Dr. Ralf Schnelle is medical doctor for emergency medicine and his cartoons are very kind of black humour in this specialisation…………..
DE: Wenn man seinen Einsatz überlebt hätte, fände man sich möglicherweise als knubbelnasige Figur in einem von Schnelles Cartoons wieder. Denn der 40-jährige Stuttgarter hat einen zweiten Beruf. Als „Olaf“ zeichnet er, was ihm im Job so ein- und auffällt: Notärzte im Kampf mit Defibrillatoren. Sanitäter, denen zum wiederholten Mal das Essen kalt wird. Einsätze bei Sturm und Regen, was im Cartoon immerhin den Vorteil hat, dass Windböen die Infusionsflasche in der richtigen Höhe halten . . . Seine Zeichnungen erscheinen regelmäßig in der Mitgliederzeitschrift des Marburger Bundes. Schnelle hat einen bebilderten Reanimationsleitfaden „Schock empfohlen . . .“ geschrieben und gezeichnet, ein Nachtdienst-Kochbuch illustriert, ein Fachbuch ist in Arbeit.
He is has completed a project as “ArchitectDoc” restauring a 200-year-old mill……!

Seit seiner Kindheit ist Ulf Winkler Fotograf. Auch arbeitet er an einem Architekturprojekt, der Restaurierung einer alten Mühle.
Und: Der Bautzener Kinderarzt Ulf Winkler leitet in der aktuellen Saison das Görlitzer Liebhaberorchester „sinfonietta meridiana“, das sein Jahreskonzert in der Musikschule am Fischmarkt vorbereitet hat.
Ich fotografiere seit meiner Kindheit, früher mit der guten alten EXA Ia + Schwarz-Weiß-Labor in der Abstellkammer, später mit Olympus IS 1000 bzw. 3000 sowie Nikon F65 in Farbe auf Dias und Papier. Seit Mai 2002 bin ich mit der Nikon Coolpix 5000 in die digitale Bilderwelt eingestiegen. Endlich kann ich ohne Qualitätsverluste durch Scan die Bilder wie früher im Labor am PC optimieren und bearbeiten. Die CP 5000 habe ich später wieder abgegeben zugunsten einer Minolta Dimage 7i, dann A1. Lange fotografierte ich mit der Canon EOS 350D sowie als Hosentaschenfoto einer Panasonic Lumix FX5. Seit Oktober 2008 bin ich im Besitz einer Fujifilm S5Pro. Dazu sind inzwischen eine Nikon D5000 und eine Fujifilm X10 gekommen, um für alle Situationen gewappnet zu sein. Ich fotografiere viel auf Reisen oder unterwegs, viel meine Kinder oder gehe einfach so auf Fotopirsch… Ich suche in meinen Bildern die Schönheit des Lebens und der Natur.
Anne Pieper was vice European Champion in Kitesurfing and had a severe accident falling on the concrete-like water from 8 meters height. How she survived this despite the prognoses of the doctors is a miracle of will strength – as “demolition man” of the movie “The Secret”.
Sabeti, who grew up listening to Pearl Jam and Nine Inch Nails, fronts and writes songs for Thousand Days, which blends alt rock and what one critic calls “guitar-heavy pop music.” The band’s fourth album came out this year.
She had been working with deadly viruses in Nigeria, see portrait film:
The scarves from this (ex-) company are designed by Eve Reaven who is a cell biologist in Palo Alto, California.
Dr. Reaven has used an electron microscope for much of her professional life and has continuously marveled at the intricacy and beauty of the natural patterns found inside cells. She shares what she has seen with others through designs for scarves and other textiles. In the current selection, she captures the essence of structures related to cell movement, cell traffic, energy and performance. The cell structures represented in these patterns are magnified 50,000 to 1,000,000 times their original size, allowing us to experience the amazing designs created by nature.
Started as a Dj in the well-known Stockholm club ‘Alphabet Street’
Alban Nwapa grew up listening to Fela Kuti and James Brown. At age 23, he began studying dentistry. In order to be able to finance his university studies, Nwapa started making his own music. During this time Alban worked as a DJ in the well-known Stockholm club ‘Alphabet Street’.
Very quickly his name became widely known, especially since Alban often sang to the records he put on the turntable as a DJ.
In 1990, Alban met Deniiz Pop from the SweMix label. Together with Denniz and Rap-Queen Leila K, his first record, “Hello Africa” – his declaration of love for his African home – broke all records. Alban Nwapa took the stage name Dr. Alban, a nod to his dental studies. His debut album Hello Africa sold roughly 1 million copies world-wide.
World Wide Success
Dr. Alban has racked up world-wide sales of over 5 million albums and over 6 million singles, which resulted in 7 times Silver, 30 times Gold and 30 times Platinum.
One year later this success was surpassed by the second album One Love. 1.6 million singles of the song “It’s My Life” were sold. It was #1 in the Netherlands, Israel and Germany and #2 in the UK. The following single “One Love” was #5 in Israel. The album immediately sold over 1.7 million units. Then followed the albums Look Who’s Talking and Born In Africa. All in all, Dr. Alban has racked up world-wide sales of over 5 million albums (1994) and over 6 million singles (1994), which resulted in 7 times Silver, 30 times Gold and 30 times Platinum. His hit single “No Coke” was used to illustrate an anti-drugs campaign in Sweden. The single “Sing Hallelujah” reached #5 in Israel.
After a re-release of “No Coke”, Dr. Alban has succeeded to hit the top10 charts worldwide with all of his following singles. Countries like, Sweden, Norway, Finlad , Denmark, Belgium. France. Russia. Austria , Switzerland, Greece , Turkey, Spain, Italy, to name a few.
He created his own record company Dr Records on which he released Born in Africa, the first CD recorded completely in his Dr Records studios. He had production credits on projects by artists such as La Cream and Daddy Showkey.
Alban Today
More recently, his voice was featured on Sash!’s single “Colour The World”. After one year of silence he came back with a new track entitled “Because Of You”, followed by “What Do I Do” and a new album, not Euro-dance related. Alban was very satisfied with the new album Prescription. Many hands have been involved in making this new album sound special. There are also guest appearances from Tony Rebell and Anthony B.
In 2007 Dr. Alban has released new album Back to basics. It is sold only on the Internet through official website, with exception for Russia where CDs and cassettes were issued. The single of this album was Don´t joke with fire .
Today, in 2008, he releases a single with pop-star of the 90’s Haddaway, entitled “I love the 90’s”. Alban proves that he didn’t forget his fellow artists of the last decade and he mentions in the lyrics some of the best hits of the Euro years: “Rhythm is a dancer”, “What is Love”, “Scatman”, “All that she wants” and, of course, his own “It’s my life”.
What can we say about Jakub “Kuba” Sienkiewicz? Well, he staunchly refuses to be put in any sort of box, that’s for sure. Put him in the eccentric pop/rock musician box? You’ll learn he’s also a practicing MD. And a guy who looks and sounds so friendly could never come up with strange, ironic, weird lyrics like these, right?
So, yeah, he might be just a little bit Crazy Sane. And slightly cool. Has covered a lot of Jacek Kleyff (communist-era poet and comedian) songs, most famously Telewizja, and cooperates with his fellow doctor/musician, the legendary skiffler Zacier.
No relation. (That we know of.) He is however a nephew of a famous Polish actress Krystyna Sienkiewicz, known from comedic routines and movies.
