Adams, Jonathan ; Heß, Cordelia -- Bandlien, Bjørn -- Etheridge, Christian -- Jankrift, Kay Peter -- Schr̲der, Stefan -- Heß, Cordelia -- Duda, Michalina -- Kwiatkowski, Krzysztof -- Klimova, Veronika -- Friedman, Yvonne -- Adams, Jonathan -- Cole, Richard -- Cofman-Simhon, Sarit -- R̃s̃nen, Elina -- Lotan, Shlomo -- Šiaučiūnaitė-Verbickienė, Jurgita -- Maasing, Madis --
