Abstract
In his book, "In Tune with the Infinite", Ralph Waldo Trine sets down his thoughts on how to achieve success, power and peace, while living an effective and joyful life. The paper shows how Trine believes our joy and understanding come from within and we can change how we feel and experience life by how we view it ? as an optimist, or a pessimist. The paper reports on the book, gives an overview of the book with some mention of the key ideas in each chapter and finishes with a positive conclusion.
From the Paper
"In Chapter Four, "Fullness of Life ? Bodily Health and Vigor," Trine discusses the law of cause and effect, and how our mental state can affect our physical being. Trine, in his eloquent way, puts it like this: "In other words, a falling state of mind is productive of a falling condition of the body. To be sure minded is to be sure footed. To be uncertain in mind is to be uncertain in step" (Trine 43). He describes several different situations where people allow what is happening around them to color their outlook and their reaction, and this in turn affects their bodies in a wide variety of illness and ill health. Trine believes what festers inside will eventually ruin our health and disposition, and his findings are still influential today, as many mental health professionals realize that unhappiness can add to a variety of illnesses, both mental and physical."

The Doctrine of "The Infinite Atonement", 2004.
A religious essay on the Atonement of Jesus Christ.

Abstract
This paper presents a brief look into the doctrine of the "Infinite Atonement of Christ". The paper is written from the perspective of the prophet, Joseph Smith.
From the Paper
"Among the precious doctrinal contributions from 2nd Nephi of the Book of Mormon, Jacob, the younger brother of Nephi, glorifies the Atonement of Jesus Christ within Heavenly Father?s plan of salvation. Emphasizing the infinite nature of the Atonement, Jacob reads from the writings of the ancient prophet Isaiah and teaches his brethren concerning the covenants that the Lord has prepared for all the house of Israel. Through His goodness and grace, God prepared a way for all mankind to escape the awful grasp of the devil, by sacrificing His only begotten son. Clearly, there is no other way. Joseph Smith the Prophet taught that ?man was not able himself to erect a system, or plan with power sufficient to free him from a destruction which awaited him? (TPJS, 58). What produces the infinite power of the atonement? How did Christ gain the right, the ability to have such an infinite effect over all of us and our sins?"

" The Infinite Plan"( Isabel Allende ), 1999.
Critical review of this novel about a man's moral & spiritual education.

From the Paper
"Isabel Allende's "The Infinite Plan"
Webster's New Collegiate Dictionary defines "infinite" as "subject to no limitation or external determination." "Plan" is, on the other hand, defined as "a method for achieving something." Thus, Allende's title immediately leads the reader to the inherent contradictions Gregory Reeves' will face during his life. The novel illustrates the map of Gregory's life as determined by the moral lessons he learns throughout. As the title suggests, the plan of Gregory's life is shaped by a series of events that demonstrate the infinite possibilities of human nature. Simultaneously, however, it explores the ways in which our infinite possibilities can be limited by our human associations.
Norma Helsper argues the family serves as a powerful symbol in Western society.."

Comparative Grammar Guidelines: Split Infinitive, 2007.
This paper contrasts the definition of the grammatical term 'split infinitive' as presented in "Webster's Dictionary of English Usage", "The Guide to Canadian Language Usage" and "A Dictionary of Modern English Usage".
895 words (approx. 3.6 pages), 3 sources, MLA, $ 31.95

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that, by analyzing the similar and contrasting definitions of the use of the split infinitive, the reader can realize how different guides use different objectives to impart a meaning to various grammatical terms. The author points out that, in discussing the split infinitive, the "Webster Guide" makes a faulty assumption that popular literature and various theorists have defined the syntactical usage with a far wider meaning. The paper concludes that the definitions of the split infinitive as a misnomer appear logically and grammatically adequate in the "Webster Guide"; while the "Canadian Guide" provides a more detailed explanation of usage within certain styles of speech and writing. The paper includes several quotations.
From the Paper
"In this manner, the term is being nullified since it does not really represent a technical "splitting" of the infinitive within a technical usage format. The appurtenant aspect of the infinitive provides a grammatical explanation of why the "Webster Guide" does not agree that the term is valid in language other than slang. However, the "Guide to Canadian English Usage" tends to propose that, although a split infinitive may not be a correct form of writing, it can still be seen as a definitive explanation for syntactical alignment of these words within a social and standardized written context:"

"Dancing to Evolution?s Tune", 2004.
This paper reviews Robert Wright's "Dancing to Evolution's Tune," which examines the neurobiological concept of evolution.

Abstract
This paper explains that in his book, "Dancing to Evolution's Tune," Robert Wright elucidates on the important role of motivation in evolution and how the genes are self-programmed to achieve this. The author points out Wright's concept that our genes have deliberately destined us to dabble in a world of pleasure and pain for evolutionary reasons, all the time keeping us well absorbed in the illusion because they cannot be satisfied. The paper relates that this evolutionary genetic scheme seems to confirm the truth in our spiritual doctrines because all the religions of the world have one thing in common; they all have propounded the futility of chasing after desires and fleeting pleasures.
From the Paper
"Nature has used happiness as a bait to motivate living beings and to propel them into action. Happiness is thus a reward that man receives when he carries on the duties of maintaining his bodily functions- nourishing himself, procreating and extending his heritage. The genes control the neurochemistry behind the feelings of happiness. On cogitation it is revealed that our basic impulses are meant to serve the main purpose of gene proliferation rather than for our psychological well being as it appears at the outset. Over the last decade scientists have found out the significant role of the neurotransmitter dopamine in giving the feeling of happiness and satisfaction."

David Mindich?s ?Tuned Out?.
This paper critiques the book, "Tuned Out: Why Americans under 40 Don't Follow the News," by David Mindich.

Abstract
This paper explains that David Mindich,in "Tuned Out: Why Americans under 40 Don't Follow the News," accuses the generations under forty for threatening American democracy because they don't read newspapers or even watch TV news and thus do not feel sufficiently motivated to vote. The author points out that Mindich's condemnation of young people not watching the news like their grandparents do implies that network news is a gold standard of quality, free of the reductionism or bias of other media; but Mindich criticizes network news for becoming entertainment-oriented news. The paper questions Mindich discounting the Internet as a source of news because, based on his survey, the news is not the prime reason for an individual's Internet use. The paper concludes that this way of thinking is as faulty as discounting television as a news source because the "greatest generation" bought their first television to watch 'I Love Lucy' rather than to watch the evening news.
From the Paper
"The author's discounting of the Internet is in fact somewhat baffling. A college student talking to an old high school friend through Instant Messaging may send that friend a copy of an interesting article that flashed across the screen. News may not be prime reason for using the Internet but still the Internet is vital for transmitting news and opinion, even of dispatches from war torn areas, or disaster afflicted zones where the conventional media cannot penetrate. In ages past, sitting around the television watching the news may have had other purposes than information-family togetherness, relaxation, as well, but that did not discount the information received."

Abstract
The paper discusses the film "Tunes of Glory" by Ronald Neame. The paper discusses the theme of managerial failure in putting particular individuals in positions of authority when they are not suited for that sort of responsibility or assignment. The paper discusses the consequences of this managerial failure.
From the Paper
"Jock Sinclair, for instance, gains his position without being prepared for it. For one thing, he drinks more than he should. For another, he is put in charge of a peacetime unit when that is not what he wants to do at all. His lack of desire for the job is a major reason why he does not do well at it, and it is also a reason why he should not have been given that job in the first place. A prerequisite for being a good manager is to want to be a good manager, and without that desire, Jock will not give the job the attention it requires and deserves."

Tuning Musical Instruments, 2007.
An overview of the tuning of musical instruments using electronic devices.
1,594 words (approx. 6.4 pages), 6 sources, MLA, $ 52.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses how electrical engineering helps musicians to identify the precision of musical notes, record their albums, and finally modify what has been recorded. It provides background context about the theory associated with various devices with an emphasis on critical analysis of the current solutions to the problem of having a standard measure for pitch of instruments. It also looks at how currently the "adaptive filter" devices and digital signal processing ("DSP") tuners are the most common and available solutions in the market. The paper includes diagrams and equations where relevant.
Outline:
Introduction
Sounds and Music
The Tuners for Musical Instruments
Latest Developments
Suggestion for Improvement
Conclusion
From the Paper
"A musical note refers to a specific frequency, "A note is a sign used in music to represent the relative duration and pitch of a sound" [1]. Every sound is a wave and as such is characterized by its frequency. However, listening to only one, single frequency is not that enjoyable. The truth is that human ear is more sensitive to a frequency difference rather than a single frequency. Therefore, a musically desirable sound is the one rich in harmonics. "The harmonic of a wave is a component frequency of the signal that is an integer multiple of the fundamental frequency." [2] For example, consider a sound having a fundamental frequency f, its harmonics are then 2 f, 3 f, 4 f, 5 f, 6 f, etc. Another sound with the fundamental frequency 2 f would have 4 f, 6 f, and 8 f etc. as its harmonics.

Abstract
This paper describes the thesis of "The Dynamism of the Spirit and the Infinite Within" by W. Norris Clarke, then considers the validity of the arguments offered and whether Clarke shows that the human mind is open to the infinite as he says it is. The paper also discusses the fact that there would be such a drive supports the yearning for religious expression and for a knowledge of much that is outside of immediate human experience.
From the Paper
"In his treatise, Clarke makes an arguments in favor of the conclusion that there is a drive, an openness, toward the Infinite (God) built into the human spirit (intellect and will). The fact that there would be such a drive supports the yearning for religious expression and for a knowledge of much that is outside of immediate human experience. Clarke sees the mind as not simply a tabula rasa but a blank slate with a yearning to be filled by a knowledge of God. Such knowledge is for the mind the goal of all its inquiries. The human mind is predisposed to ask questions about its own existence, about its relationship to that which is greater than itself, to raise these issues and to seek the answers. This yearning is more than curiosity, tough that may be included."

Soren Kierkegaard's ?Fear and Trembling?.
This paper explains the difference between the ?Knight of Faith? and the ?Knight of Infinite Resignation? in Soren Kierkegaard's ?Fear and Trembling?.
990 words (approx. 4.0 pages), 0 sources, $ 35.95

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that Soren Kierkegaard?s philosophical classic, ?Fear and Trembling?, tells the story of Abraham and Isaac from the Old Testament in a series of versions. The author stresses that Abraham is not a murderer but a man of the faith, as shown in his act of resignation to the absurdity of God and the teleological suspension of the ethical that is its result. The paper relates that Abraham, the ?Knight of Faith?, obeys God, sacrifices Isaac, but fears God?s wrath and dwells with the pain of the loss of the beloved firstborn; but the second, true Abraham is the ?Knight of Infinite Resignation?, who obeys God in action, but knows in his heart that God is good and something will happen so that he will gain back all he has lost.
From the Paper
"Critical to Kierkegaard?s thesis of the greatness of Abraham as a ?Knight of Infinite Resignation? is the notion of the teleological suspension of the ethical. This refers to the fact that, because it is God?s request, Abraham does an action that he knows is wrong. Kierkegaard stresses that merely because God tells Abraham to do something, this does not make the sacrifice of Isaac right. Rather, Abraham agrees to sacrifice his own morality because of his absolute trust, faith, and resignation in the will and the goodness of God. This level of trust is absurd, of course. How will the murder be prevented? But it is also absurd that God would give Isaac to Abraham and Sarah, long after the two were too old to have children."

Literary Philosophy, 2001.
This paper examines the following four works of literature and how they affected the literary philosophy of their eras: Voltaire's 'Candide', Anton Chekhov's 'Enemies', Giancamo Leopardi's 'The Infinite' and Virginia Wolf's 'Kew Gardens'.

Abstract
This paper studies the different ways that four works of literature from different genres reflect the dominant literary philosophy of the era of their authors. It argues that over the course of the last three centuries, from the 18th century to the present, the ways that literature has depicted the human condition has been characterized by an increasing focus on the interior, rather than the exterior life of fictional and non-fictional characters. It studies Voltaire's 'Candide', Anton Chekhov's 'Enemies' , Giancamo Leopardi's 'The Infinite' and Virginia Wolf's 'Kew Gardens'.
From the Paper
"One of the most perfect expressions of the Enlightenment?s Rationalism can be found in Voltaire's Candide. Voltaire depicts a society rife with hypocrisy, particularly religious hypocrisy. The length of Voltaire?s work is that of a novella, but the prose has the quality of a satire, or an extended parody, in this case a parody of the philosopher Lebiniz?s sensibility that the entire world is good, and that the world in which we dwell is the best of all possible worlds. Voltaire?s authorial voice is present throughout the work, and even when the author is chronicling the inner voice of the characters, there is a strong sense of plot, of action, and of an author?s philosophic ?project? at work."

"Doing Business with the Devil", 2005.
This paper examines the conceptions of infinite and the devil in "Doing Business with the Devil".
675 words (approx. 2.7 pages), 2 sources, $ 26.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper presents two differing conceptions of infinity and how they apply to a single thought experiment. The author points out that the first viewpoint is that of Rucker who believes that infinity is as real as any other mathematical concept and is essentially a Platonist viewpoint. The paper relates that the other conception is that of Lakoff and Nunez who believe that infinity is an abstract metaphor whose use should be employed when it is useful, but which is not real.
From the Paper
"In "Doing Business with the Devil", we are presented with an interesting intellectual dilemma that has a few things to do with our discussion of the infinite. At first glance (and even second and third glances) the puzzle seems nearly nonsensical. The words make sense, but the point is elusive. In the puzzle, an individual is dealing with the Devil in a situation with an infinite number of one-dollar bills, which the Devil just happens to collect."

Hegelian Aesthetics, 2006.
A discussion regarding Friedrich Hegel and the finite nature of art versus the infinite expression of cycles.
3,182 words (approx. 12.7 pages), 6 sources, MLA, $ 92.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper reviews how Hegel's aesthetic ideal is associated with art or more specifically fine art, as the first of three expressions of the culmination of spiritual development from objective then subjective to the absolute, or the combination of both objective and subjective spiritual awareness. The paper goes on to discuss how 'absolute reality' is what Hegel would refer to as the 'absolute spirit', or the world spirit that is shared by all.
From the Paper
"Desmond goes on to say that Hegel claims that there has been a divorce of the self from art and that art no longer serves this purpose, yet many if not all artists would coldly disagree or even agree in the sense that art is driven not only by self but by a common current of art for the sake of the other, the consumer. Artists constantly challenge the concept of art for self as they outwardly grapple with selling something so reflective of self to another who may or may not understand the message. This is reflected in the modern by the idea that in art, music and even knowledge, success is a failure that many are seeking, again a reflection of the incomplete being the base of contradiction and need for synthesis."

The Nature of Man, 2002.
An essay of the philosophical argument of the existence of an infinite being and an ideal person.
1,570 words (approx. 6.3 pages), 3 sources, MLA, $ 51.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper investigates the philosophical debate of the empirical being and the definition of the ideal person. It describes the concepts of philosopher David Hume and Zhuangz, and illustrates how their ideas correlate, because they share the belief of empirical truth. The author writes that the philosophers believe that an ideal person is one who is at ease and accepts anything in any situation.
From the Paper
"Philo, first of all, argues that a powerful or infinite Being cannot be assumed on the basis of concrete, demonstrable and measurable evidence alone. He can be perceived only by the (willing) intellect, according to him. With his faculties and natural powers, man cannot have such knowledge and, therefore, cannot make a stable stand on the matter.
Secondly, he finds no reason to perceive or ascribe perfection, infiniteness and, much less, justice, to such a Being. If He exists, He cannot be infallible or perfect: from how the world has been, we can, in fact, infer that the Being behind all of man?s history must be faulty, imperfect, uncaring and even vindictive, in Philo?s view -- anything but just, perfect or caring. He even imagines Him as ?some infant deity who afterwards abandoned (the universe), ashamed of His performance (Fowler)."

Abstract
This paper explores the history and the use of the GPS within the military, from the beginnings of the system at the development of the Department of Defense to its current applications, as well as the likely futures of this useful tool. In addressing these elements of the GPS, the reader will realize that an item of technology that is so comparatively "commonplace" is actually quite revolutionary in its design and its overall purpose.
