It is a project in which I need music, and I have chosen to place my topic around effects of war, and achieving peace. I need something that can be really strong on the soul, and have the listener consider how it feels.

Perhaps something similar to music (bagpipes) played on remembrance day? I prefer with few or no lyrics.

Please do not tell me to search on google. Thanks!

Please provide a link for me to listen to if possible. I need artist name and song title!

CLEAN NEEDLES BENEFIT SOCIETY
USA Today
Our view: Needle exchanges prove effective as AIDS counterattack.
They warrant wider use and federal backing.

Nothing gets knees jerking and fingers wagging like free needle-exchange programs. But strong evidence is emerging that they’re working.
The 37 cities trying needle exchanges are accumulating impressive data that they are an effective tool against spread of an epidemic now in its 13th year.
• In Hartford, Conn., demand for needles has quadrupled expectations— 32,000 in nine months. And free needles hit a targeted population: 55% of used needles show traces of AIDS virus.
• In San Francisco, almost half the addicts opt for clean needles.
• In New Haven, new HIV infections are down 33% for addicts in exchanges.
Promising evidence. And what of fears that needle exchanges increase addiction? The National Commission on AIDS found no evidence. Neither do new studies in the Journal of the American Medical Association.
Logic and research tell us no one’s saying, “Hey, they’re giving away free, clean hypodermic needles! I think I’ll become a drug addict!”
Get real. Needle exchange is a soundly based counterattack against an epidemic. As the federal Centers for Disease Control puts it, “Removing contaminated syringes from circulation is analogous to removing mosquitoes.”
Addicts know shared needles are HIV transmitters. Evidence shows drug users will seek out clean needles to cut chances of almost certain death from AIDS.
Needle exchanges neither cure addiction nor cave in to the drug scourge. They’re a sound, effective line of defense in a population at high risk. (Some 28% of AIDS cases are IV drug users.) And AIDS treatment costs taxpayers far more than the price of a few needles.
It’s time for policymakers to disperse the fog of rhetoric, hyperbole and scare tactics and widen the program to attract more of the nation’s 1.2 million IV drug users.
We’re a pragmatic society. We like things that work. Needle exchanges have proven their benefit. They should be encouraged and expanded.

PROGRAMS DON’T MAKE SENSE
Peter B. Gemma Jr.
Opposing view: It’s just plain stupid for government to sponsor dangerous, illegal behavior.

If the Clinton administration initiated a program that offered free tires to drivers who habitually and dangerously broke speed limits—to help them avoid fatal accidents from blowouts—taxpayers would be furious. Spending government money to distribute free needles to junkies, in an attempt to help them avoid HIV infections, is an equally volatile and stupid policy.
It’s wrong to attempt to ease one crisis by reinforcing another.
It’s wrong to tolerate a contradictory policy that spends people’s hard-earned money to facilitate deviant behavior.
And it’s wrong to try to save drug abusers from HIV infection by perpetuating their pain and suffering.
Taxpayers expect higher health-care standards from President Clinton’s public-policy “experts.”
Inconclusive data on experimental needle-distribution programs is no excuse to weaken federal substance-abuse laws. No government bureaucrat can refute the fact that fresh, free needles make it easier to inject illegal drugs because their use results in less pain and scarring. Underwriting dangerous, criminal behavior is illogical: If you subsidize something, you’ll get more of it. In a Hartford, Conn., needle-distribution program, for example, drug addicts are demanding taxpayer-funded needles at four times the expected rate. Although there may not yet be evidence of increased substance abuse, there is obviously no incentives in such schemes to help drug-addiction victims get cured.
Inconsistency and incompetence will undermine the public’s confidence in government health-care initiatives regarding drug abuse and the AIDS epidemic. The Clinton administration proposal of giving away needles hurts far more people than [it is] intended to help.

In Journalism, we had to read this article in one of those little kiddy magazines about Iran's revolution in 1979, but it was a really confusing article. I'm stuck on this question: "Briefly explain wny revolutions, in Iran and elsewhere, often direct attention to a foreign adversary." Could you please at least tell me what it means??

I just looked at my status for a college and it asked for my mid-year grades. I applied early action (meaning it was not binding). Does that mean I was deferred? I really am not sure. It never said anything about being deferrred. Up until today (for the past month or so) it has told me that my application was complete. And then today when i logged on to check the status it told me it needs my mid-year grades.

The worst teacher I have ever had is my teacher right now. She is dumb. She teaches Writing Study Skills, which barely teaches you anything. My goal is to become a journalist one day, and I am an excellent writer when I try. Obviously I'm not trying to use my writing skills now...Anyway, she always makes us write "journals" on ideas and certain questions and things like that. Instead of learning writing, she's teaching us stuff like comparing and contrasting and description. I would like to think I learned that years ago! Her class doesn't help me at all. On top of all that, everyone compliments my writing, but she marks me down for the STUPIDEST things. I gave the antecendent for a pronoun RIGHT IN THE SENTENCE clearly and obviously, and still she circled the pronoun "one" saying "one what?" Plus, she's really mean. I know I should wait for the year to be over, but how do I deal with someone like her?

The Pink Kitten was the most exclusive women's club on the Isle of Begile. It was a refuge where women could enjoy a cigar or shoot a game of pool in peace and quiet. In other words, NO MEN ALLOWED!!! Naturally the odd male tried to sneak in but they were always caught. It wasn't that anything illegal or illicit went on, it was just that women wanted to know that they could relax without the little Mr. around. Upon entering the Pink Kitten, everyone had to kneel down and place their forearm on the floor with their elbow against their knee. The door woman than placed a pack of matches at the tip of their finger. The entrant then had to put their hands behind their back and slowly bend over and knock the matches over with their nose WITHOUT losing their balance.

Why would the Pink Kitten have such a strange entrance ritual?
