Some musicians/composers have died accidentally at the hands of others.
Classical
*Anton Webern - Viennese Composer (1883-1945)
On 15 September 1945, during the Allied occupation of Austria, Webern was accidentally shot dead by an American Army soldier following the arrest of his son-in-law for black market activities, when, despite the curfew in effect, he stepped outside the house to enjoy a cigar without disturbing his sleeping grandchildren.
Jazz
*Chet Baker - Trumpet player (1929 – 1988)
At about 3.00 am on Friday May 13, 1988, Baker was found dead on a street below his second storey room at the Prins Hendrik Hotel in Amsterdam, Netherlands, with serious wounds to his head. Heroin and cocaine were found in Baker's hotel room, and an autopsy discovered these drugs in his body. There was no evidence of a struggle, and the death was ruled an accident.
However, since no one witnessed the death there was room for speculation. Various unsubstantiated rumors have circulated in subsequent years, suggesting that Baker was either murdered or committed suicide.
*Jaco Pastorius - Bass player for Weather Report (1951-1987)
After reportedly kicking in a glass door after being refused entrance to a club, Pastorius was engaged in a violent confrontation with the club bouncer, Luc Havan. He was hospitalized, fell into a coma and was put on life support. Pastorius died on September 21 1987, aged 35.

Zinkplaat is an Afrikaans rock band hailing from Stellenbosch, South Africa.
Band History
The members of the band met while they were still at highschool in Stellenbosch.
Beer used to play in a band called My Pet Sock before playing for Zinkplaat.
Band Members
*Bertus Coetzee on vocals, acoustic guitar and harmonica
*Basson Laubscher on electric guitar and vocals
*Beitel van der Merwe on bass guitar and vocals
*Beer Adriaanse on drums and vocals
Music Style
On the first 2 releases, namely Karoo Poison (EP, 2003) and Die Miskruier Gaan See Toe (first full length album, 2005) the band had a very afrikaans folk sound, influenced a lot by Bertie and his bekfluitjie ('harmonica').
Their newest release expected late 2007, Musiek Uit Die Geraas ('Music Out Of The Noise') has seen the band evolve into a more indie sound, while still keeping to their roots regarding music.
De Plate Kompanjie
De Plate Kompanjie is a record label that was started by Bertie, Beer and a friend of theirs at the end of 2006. DPK is involved in the organising of bands, tours and music events, and has been highly involved in many large musics festivals in Stellenbosch as well as the tours that the band and other associated acts have embarked on.
DPK released an album in 2006 entitled Die Eerste Avontuur ('The First Adventure') comprising of artists belonging to the label, such as Die Helde, The Orange Stilettos, Zinkplaat and Foto na Dans.

There are few extermely talented pivot animators that have made themselves famous on Youtube. The more notable animators are PivotMasterDX, for the Stick Figures On Crack Series, PivotRJ for The Chase Series and The Stairs Series, and Alchemist7000 for his Pivot wars and updates.
PivotMasterDX
PivotMasterDX was one of the first notable pivot animators on Youtube before his account was hacked. He made Stick Figures On Crack 1, 2, and 3. The series has no main plot and is many random pivot animations inspired by tv shows, music, etc. He uses the default stick figure in most of his animations. A running joke seems to be a giant cheeseburger smashing stick figures and even moving on its own as if alive.
PivotRJ
PivotRJ seems to be the so called "Master" of Pivot or "The New PivotMasterDX" ever since PivotMaster DX was hacked. He has made The Chase 1 through 4 and is working on a fifth video. Another notable video is The Stairs which will have a sequel. The Chase originated with two stick men(shorter than the default with eyes) sitting at a table while one takes a bite of a burger. He then gets up and while he's gone, the other stickman takes a bite of the burger. The other stickman comes back angered and begins to chase the other. The one who stole a bite of the burger always seems to prevail in any possible way. A running gag is the stickman chasing getting hit with a water balloon. The water balloon seems to be a solid though and hits him with astounding force.
Alchemist7000
Currently, his most popular video is his Pivotwar with PivotRJ. He mostly posts Pivot updates and Pivot wars that are with fellow animators. He has a few projects planned, but for now, he might be posting another pivot update shortly. He is also a member of www.dakrdemon.org.
PivotDK
PivotDK is well known for his pivot music. He is also well known for his Dance Of Evil spoof. A new video is his realising is the murder that will star in 2008
PivotMite
Pivotmite is another animator with an extra animator called "Firedu". Both of them made a well known video on youtube called Two Stupid Men and the latest hit Two Stupid Men II. Also they made a Mario Overlap on youtube it was just out
a few months back. He also works and created IF® productions (Infernoflame)

Strong inference plus is a model of scientific inquiry developed by Don L. Jewett. It is an extension of
Strong inference.
Strong inference plus
Strong inference plus has three phases:
# the exploratory phase
# the pilot phase
# the hypotheses-testing phase (note the plural).
; The exploratory phase: factors that influence success are unclear, so research must proceed based upon hunches, serendipitous observations, and selections based upon inadequate information. When the Exploratory Phase provides reasonably reliable observations, the research enters the Pilot Phase.
;The pilot phase: a small number of experiments – usually 6–8 – are replicated under replicable experimental conditions. The Pilot Phase is the experiential test of the Exploratory Phase. With success in the Pilot Phase, the project moves into the Hypotheses-Testing Phase. None of the experimental data from the Exploratory and Pilot Phases can be re-used in the Hypotheses-Testing Phase, in order to avoid statistical bias of the testing in the Hypotheses-Testing Phase.
; The hypotheses-testing phase: uses Strong inference:
# Identify a scientifically-interesting observation-- this is the reliable observation provided by the Pilot Phase.
# Enumerate all alternative hypotheses that can account for the observation, based on present knowledge. Note that the number of alternative hypotheses is not infinite-- the number is limited by Present Scientific Knowledge as practiced by Scientists here and now.
# Reject hypotheses by experimental observations until a single hypothesis remains that has survived an experimental test by which it could have been rejected. The remaining hypothesis is the “currently held view” of the “cause” of the observation.
To the laity, the remaining hypothesis is "truth,” but the scientist knows that this currently-held view can change if new hypotheses arise from new knowledge. If that happens, then the new hypotheses must be tested and rejected, in order to determine whether the "currently held view" needs to be changed.
Relationship between Strong inference and Strong inference plus
* Strong inference and Strong inference plus both use the method of "Multiple Hypotheses", rather than basing research upon a single hypothesis.
* Strong inference plus addresses the need for creating the critical seed observation(s) upon which one can base alternative hypotheses. Strong inference does not.
