DEPRAVED INDIFFERENCE MURDER IN THE CONTEXT OF DWI HOMICIDES IN NEW YORK RYAN J. MAHONEY' INTRODUCTION On a cloudy, drizzly summer night in 2006, Martin Heidgen met a friend for drinks after work. Later in the evening, he attended a party where he continued to drink. By two o'clock in the morning he had become highly intoxicated. He left the party and proceeded to drive home. During the trip, he drove his car onto a divided parkway heading in the wrong direction towards oncoming traffic. He struck a limousine head on, killing the fifty- nine-year-old driver and a seven-year-old girl. He was convicted of second-degree murder. "Thou shalt not kill."' One of the most fundamental and intuitive maxims of human law and morality is the prohibition of murder. The killing of another person has long been regarded as a lurid and intolerable wrong against society. Laws prohibiting murder have existed for thousands of years and have evolved considerably as society and the legal system have become more advanced.

  • Rock Album Discography Last Up-Date: September 27Th, 2021
    Rock Album Discography Last up-date: September 27th, 2021 Rock Album Discography “Music was my first love, and it will be my last” was the first line of the virteous song “Music” on the album “Rebel”, which was produced by Alan Parson, sung by John Miles, and released I n 1976. From my point of view, there is no other citation, which more properly expresses the emotional impact of music to human beings. People come and go, but music remains forever, since acoustic waves are not bound to matter like monuments, paintings, or sculptures. In contrast, music as sound in general is transmitted by matter vibrations and can be reproduced independent of space and time. In this way, music is able to connect humans from the earliest high cultures to people of our present societies all over the world. Music is indeed a universal language and likely not restricted to our planetary society. The importance of music to the human society is also underlined by the Voyager mission: Both Voyager spacecrafts, which were launched at August 20th and September 05th, 1977, are bound for the stars, now, after their visits to the outer planets of our solar system (mission status: https://voyager.jpl.nasa.gov/mission/status/). They carry a gold- plated copper phonograph record, which comprises 90 minutes of music selected from all cultures next to sounds, spoken messages, and images from our planet Earth. There is rather little hope that any extraterrestrial form of life will ever come along the Voyager spacecrafts. But if this is yet going to happen they are likely able to understand the sound of music from these records at least.

  • Brian Eno Issue 42
    Brian Eno Brian Eno is one of the most influential artists and producers in the world today. Whenever he opens his mouth, it’s worth listening. Paul Tingen was there to do just that. ubbed the ‘professor’ of audio, Brian Eno is one of the most respected musical artists of our time. He’s produced several Dof the world biggest acts including David Bowie, U2 and Talking Heads. He’s played on countless albums for others as well as recorded a swag of his own ground-breaking records. His music is everywhere and his musical philosophy resonates worldwide. Paul Tingen caught up with the mystery man himself to discuss music, the universe and everything. Right in the middle of Brian Eno’s workspace in west London is an object that perfectly illustrates the man’s worldview. The large, illuminated globe suspended from the ceiling is unremarkable in its own right. But it comes with a twist: it’s upside down. The symbolism is apt, for throughout his 35-year career, Eno has regularly turned musical instruments, technology, styles, concepts and approaches upside down, offering different perspectives on almost everything he engages with. “Honour thy error as a hidden intention,” proclaimed the first of a set of cards dubbed Oblique Strategies which Eno devised (with artist Peter Schmidt) in the 1970s, to be used in oracle-like fashion whenever one was feeling creatively stuck. “Familiarity breeds content,” punned Eno in 1999, in an article very critical of computers, opining that when dealing with technology users “prefer deep rapport over endless options.” And, while talking about production – the activity for which he is most famous, having produced legendary albums by David Bowie, Talking Heads, and U2 amongst others – Eno offered: “I figure that the listener requires about half of what you think you require when you’re the creator.” Agree or disagree, these statements are like a sleight of mind, forcing us to re-evaluate long-held ideas and working principles, which is, of course, exactly what Eno is after.
