Mp 3 Player Mp 3 Files

Two years ago, MP 3 was just another audio
compression format. Today, it's a Net phenomenon
that's at the center of an enormous controversy.
That's because MP 3 makes it possible for people
with an Internet connection to bypass record
stores (and cashiers) and download CD-quality
music by their favorite artists -- for free. MP 3
is great for music lovers and cheapskates, who can
download funky tunes to their hearts' content
without spending a dime; however, it's a nightmare
for musicians and rec...

Norton Anthology Of English Literature Anglo Saxon
1,523 words
The crucifixion of Christ is treated differently
within the bodies of Old English and Middle
English literature. The values of each era's
society are superimposed on the descriptions of
the sacrifice of Christ on the cross. Christ is
depicted either as the model of the hero,
prevalent in Old English literature, or as the
embodiment of love and passion, as found in
Showings by Julian of Norwich. Old English
literature establishes the elements of the heroic
code, to which its society ascribed. A m...

Sexual Orientation Planned Parenthood

... 3, the American Psychiatric Association
classified homosexuality as sexual deviation along
with other disorders such as fetishism and
pedophilia (Zuriff. 1997, p. 2). Mental health
professionals were classifying homosexuals as
mentally ill because most of the research that was
done involved lesbian and gay men in therapy. The
research was biased because the research never
included lesbian and gay men that were not in
therapy. However, as Zuriff points out (1997),

Jean-Jacques Rousseau was born in Geneva,
Switzerland in 1712. His mother died one week
after his birth and his father, a Geneva

Compressed Natural Gas or CNG is becoming and
increasingly attractive fuel for many
transportation uses. One reason for the increase
in interest in CNG is that the emissions of a CNG

CNG vehicles is that the gas prices have risen in

Reason And Passion Pangs Of Conversion Love
535 words
What does St. Augustine have to say to post-modern
culture? I think that the most vital aspect in
Augustine's Confessions, more specifically his
books Student at Carthage and The birth-pangs of
Conversion, is the concept of True Love. Augustine
tells us that love is paradoxically balanced
between reason and passion, as both reason and
passion can be both good and evil at some time or
another. So it is not necessarily an equilibrium.
The whole idea that love has to be right or wrong,
hot or cold,...
