Abstract
This paper is a book review of James D.G. Dunn's book "Jesus and the Spirit: A Study of the Religious and Charismatic Experience of Jesus and the First Christians as Reflected in the New Testament". The review is critical of the book, citing overstatement of the obvious, obfuscation of simple truths, and questionable use of sources.

From the Paper
"James D. G. Dunn's book "Jesus and the Spirit: A Study of the Religious and Charismatic Experience of Jesus and the First Christians As Reflected in the New Testament" attempts to identify the religious experiences of Jesus and the early Christians, the range of those experiences and the criteria by which Jesus and the early Christians recognized experiences with God and His Spirit as such-particularly in terms of being a Christian experience in nature. Dunn's thesis is that Jesus' religious experience was distinctively..."

Abstract
The paper states that learning styles are just as different as the individuals who utilize the various styles of learning. Taking these into consideration in the use of instructional strategies in music, education has long-term payoffs for the student in relation to educational outcomes. The paper examines the possibilities of using the Dunn and Dunn Model to teach music, specifically eurhythmics, a method of learning and experiencing music through movement. The paper notes that music instruction and the learning derived from instruction are referred to as declarative knowledge, while practical knowledge is the ability of the individuals to use sensory motor and cognitive skills.

Outline:
Introduction
Meaning and Ability
Types of Individual Learners
Five Characteristics of Learning
Intrinsic (Inner) & Extrinsic (External) Motivation
Application of Different Strategies
Performance Marks
Sensory Integration Into Music Categories
The Dalcroze Approach to Music Education
Summary and Conclusion

From the Paper
"There are both intrinsic and extrinsic rewards that motivate students meaning that they are motivated 'internally' or 'externally' by the promise of the reward. The learning environment is a 'key' aspect of the motivation of the student in learning and the work of Hallam states that the learning environment is the combined: "...complex interactions between the characteristics of the individual and the environment that they find themselves. [And that it also] refers to the cultural climate at the time, the place of learning, and the people who are in it, including teachers, family and peers."

Abstract
This paper describes the circumstances of the scandal that arose around Patricia Dunn, chairman at Hewlett-Packard, when she had to investigate why secrets regarding corporate strategy began appearing in the press. The author explains that when evidence pointed to board member Jay Keyworth as the source of many of the leaks to the press, his friend and fellow board member Tom Perkins took offense at Dunn and launched a campaign to discredit her. The author concludes that it seems that the charges brought against Dunn are largely the result of Perkins's discrediting campaign against her.

From the Paper
"Someone from the board had been leaking valuable company info to the press - not only about HP corporate strategy, but about whom the board was considering for CEO as well as the company's interest in buying another tech company. The majority of the board asked Dunn to investigate the source of the leak. The investigation went a bit too far, and Dunn was eventually indicted on charges of pretexting - that is, using false pretenses in order to obtain the personal information of board members and journalists connected with the leaks."

Abstract
This paper analyzes Katherine Dunn's novel "Geek Love", whose main theme is inverting that which is expected with that which is unusual. By examining the "unusual" events in the novel, the paper attempts to show that, perhaps, they are not so unusual. It maintains that Dunn places this recurring theme in the novel to show the readers that the word "normal" does not have a defined meaning; it varies for each community, and possibly each person, around the world. The paper concludes that the novel illustrates the point that normality is all in the eye of the beholder.

From the Paper
"Another scenario that is extremely atypical is that Arty, the child who has flippers and fins as arms and legs, starts a cult "Arturism". Arty's cult has people admiring him and idolizing him and wanting to be like him even though he has a deformed body. Today, people want to be like celebrities who are beautiful, something very far from what is presented as Arty's character. Arty has many fans who even have surgery to be like him as Olympia describes on page 185, "From a half-dozen simple characters wandering the midway with white bandages where fingers or toes had been, there grew a ragtag horde camped next to the show everyplace we stopped. Within three years the caravan would string out for a hundred miles behind us when we moved." Arty's followers worshiped him so much that they even began to have surgery so they could turn their "normal" bodies into deformed ones that looked like Arty's. What is peculiar about this is that once again there is an inversion between what is expected and that which is not: people have cosmetic surgery to make features on their body look symmetrical so they can be considered normal. A follower of Arty changing his normal legs to flippers is parallel to a person with a perfect symmetric nose going under the knife to add an unattractive bump to his or her ideal nose."

Abstract
In this article, the writer introduces, discusses and analyzes the poems "The Chimney Sweeper" by William Blake and "Hard Work" By Stephen Dunn. Specifically, the writer discusses how the two poets view labor - young people's labor in particular. The writer notes that both of these poems use labor and work as their central theme. The biggest difference in the two works is the reason the boys must work hard. The writer points out that in Blake's poem, the young boy has been sold to a chimney sweep and lives almost like a slave, while in Dunn's poem, the young boy is not working to survive, or to save his family. The writer concludes that work does not have to be something without opportunity, but when a person has no other choices in life, like the chimney sweep, then work is the very worst thing that can happen to a person, and it can even lead to his death.

From the Paper
"William Blake's chilling poem is a criticism of a society that allowed young boys to be sold into servitude in an attempt to save a poverty-stricken family, while Dunn's poem shows the boredom and control in a factory assembly line. Both poems take a dim view of hard work such as this, and both show that finding alternatives can make all the difference in a person's life. The young chimney sweep has little choice in his profession, but the young man who works on the assembly line knows that is not the work he wants to do for the rest of his life, and that he has choices to make his life better. The chimney sweep ultimately has no hope, while the boy does, and that is the biggest separation between the two characters. Without hope, the chimney sweep has nothing to live for, while the modern boy has far fewer worries and concerns. He has hope for the future, and with hope, anything is possible."

Abstract
This paper examines the scriptural basis for the Baptism of the Holy Spirit and compares it to James Dunn's classic work on the same. It looks at how Dunn approaches the subject from a dispensational and existential philosophy and how so many of his conclusions are subject to reconsideration under the full light of Scripture. It shows how his questionable belief regarding the deity and messianic identity of Christ is also reason to question the conclusions he draws. In conclusion, the Baptism of the Holy Spirit and the church's experience of the same are compared and contrasted to the Eastern Christian views of the theology of the Holy Spirit. Vladimir Lossky.s work, "The Mystical Theology of the Eastern Church", also provides the basis for this comparison.

From the Paper
"This debate has carried with is the unspoken corollary which needs to be addressed in order to clearly evaluate the scriptural record. In Christ, all men, women, slave, free, Jew or gentiles are forever equal. Yet, in experience, there are some who do participate in the experience of the Holy Spirit baptism, and some who do not. In discussing this issue, the related underlying question is "Well, if some do have it, and some don't, then some Christians must by "closer to God" or "more right" than others. This emotional based value judgment has clouded an effective discussion of this experience for centuries. Each believer is on an individual walk with Christ. Those who have been a part of the Christian traditions for decades are no more favored by God than those who have just begun their journey."

Abstract
The paper relates that the first hundred days of a new administration in Washington is often treated as a honeymoon period in which the actions of the new President are judged somewhat less harshly than might be the case later, but there is also a great hope that new policies will be inaugurated in that time that alter the character of existing problems or provide new solutions not thought of or not accepted by the previous administration. The paper then discusses how massive economic issues faced the administration of President Franklin Delano Roosevelt when he came to office in 1933, a period addressed by David M. Kennedy in "Freedom from Fear" and by James MacGregor Burns and Susan Dunn in "The Three Roosevelts".

Abstract
In this article, the writer studies the poems "The Chimney Sweeper" by Robert Blake and "Hard Work" by Stephen Dunn and looks at their similarities and differences. The writer discusses the differing social themes portrayed in the two poems. Further, the writer examines the aspect of class consciousness as it is demonstrated in both works. The writer notes that the narrators in both poems come to the conclusion that resistance is all but futile; that the system is so firmly entrenched in society that for one person to break free seems impossible.The writer concludes that although written from two entirely different perspectives, the two poems show how the working classes are subjugated by the wealthy, and that the ones who own the means of production are also the ones who can control social norms.

From the Paper
"Stephen Dunn's poem "Hard Work," on the other hand, is more about resistance. The narrator of "Hard Work" is also a young boy, but unlike the chimney sweeper he quits his job and "exercised the prerogatives of my class". Both narrators are conscious of their proletariat position in society and in the end, both feel powerless to change. However, the chimney sweeper's positive attitude suggests that he is willing to conform to the status quo, whereas the boy in "Hard Work" is less willing to do so. Both Blake's "Chimney Sweeper" and Dunn's "Hard Work" deal with Marxist themes such as class stratification and the use of labor to control the masses, but Dunn's challenges the means of social control whereas Blake's discusses the virtues of acceptance and conformity."

Abstract
This paper explains that the poems "Hard Work" by Stephen Dunn and "What I Wouldn't Do" by Dorianne Laux describe work, which is menial, repetitive and boring in atmospheres that are less then ideal, experiences so common as to be nearly universal. The author relates that, in "Hard Work", which is set in a Coca Cola bottling plant in the 1950s before total automation and robots, the narrator's job is to carry empty bottles to the line; whereas, in "What I Wouldn't Do", the narrator tells of a whole string of quite different "drifter" jobs. The paper concludes that the poems present valuable information that working for awhile at a low-status jobs give a sense of what a person wants to accomplish and how to proceed or, at least, a sense of what a person does not want to do for the rest of his or her life.

From the Paper
"Later, the boy himself with a sense of anger, and emulating what he saw earlier, breaks some of the bottles deliberately, again for revenge and to impress the other men he works with. His "petty act of free will" is a way to get even for all the mindless hours spent on the line working for the riches of someone else. Coke, after all, is the quintessential American product. The Company reaps billions of dollars a year in profits, selling Coke in every country in the world, while the workers suffer hours on end of boredom, low pay, and a body that "hurt with that righteous hurt men have brought home for centuries." The term righteous hurt implies that "hard" work is supposed to be noble, a myth the narrator's father seems to have internalized but the narrator rejects."
