  • 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.

  • Lethal Injection's Fatal Flaws
    Lethal Injection’s Fatal Flaws Josh Sanburn - May 15, 2014 - http://time.com/100566/lethal-injections-fatal-flaws/?pcd=hp-magmod The method of execution was supposed to be quick, painless and humane. So why is it suddenly so troubling? For decades, most states with capital punishment used a standard combination of three drugs in lethal injections: a sedative, often sodium thiopental; pancuronium bromide as a paralytic agent; and potassium chloride to stop the heart. The drugs in the cocktail were easy to come by and effective, allowing for a relatively standard lethal-injection protocol throughout the U.S. These days, the ways states are choosing to kill their most heinous criminals are anything but uniform. Background In 1977, Dr. Jay Chapman, Oklahoma’s chief medical examiner, was tasked by an Oklahoma legislator with finding a more humane way of executing prisoners. Chapman, whose job was investigating deaths, not causing them, felt compelled to respond because he thought there was no reason we should put animals to death more humanely than people. Within days, Chapman had an idea for an injectable mix of drugs that he thought would do the job as painlessly as possible. Lethal injection was first adopted in Oklahoma in 1977, with the understanding that it would be more humane than the electric chair, the gas chamber, the firing squad, or hanging. More than 1,200 people have since been put to death using the protocol Chapman recommended. When Texas was considering whether to adopt the Oklahoma protocol in the late 1970s, the medical director of Texas’ corrections department, Dr.
