"How to Save Information on a Disk or Flash Drive Introduction This paper provides a generic overview and instructions on how to use a flash drive. The intention of this paper is to help communicate the usefulness of the flash drive as a tool and to introduce users unfamiliar to such devices to its properties and general use. Summary of the Flash Drive Saving information to a drive is a critical and very necessary process of computer use. Drives can be internal or external, and the process differs slightly according to the types of drives used. Flash drives are accessible, portable drives that use a USB port and NAND flash memory technology. NAND technology is a form of information transmission that utilizes "not and" functions, meaning that the device determines the exclusionary properties of information and stores it accordingly on a peripheral device."

Abstract
This paper examines and analyzes the Drive theoryof business psychology, which counts among its chief proponents both Freud and Hull. These thinkers strongly believed that all motivation for behavior was driven by an innate impulse to satisfy basic physiological needs. Though theorists differed on the final constitution of the needs that mattered, drive theorists argued that motivation, especially in the workplace, could be best understood in terms of an individual's desire to satisfy basic needs.

From the Paper
"In terms of workplace motivation few psychological theories can have as much usefulness and lack of usefulness as drive theory. Drive theory counted among its chief proponents both Freud and Hull (Reeve, 2001) who strongly believed that all motivation for behavior was driven by an innate impulse to satisfy basic physiological needs. Though theorists differed on the final constitution of the needs that mattered, drive theorists argued that motivation, especially in the workplace, could be best understood in terms of an individual's desire to satisfy basic needs. For instance, hunger motivates one to eat. Thirst encourages the..."

Abstract
This paper discusses the magnetic hard disk drive and how it works, from its creation to the present day. It also discusses possible future technological advances. It then discusses the varied uses of hard drives and the impact the device has had on society over the past few decades.

From the Paper
"Personal computer technology has grown exponentially over the past few decades, but at its core, construction remains focused on certain necessary components. The magnetic hard disk drive is one of those components. Despite its importance and widespread use, many casual computer users know little about the history of or workings of this device. The magnetic hard disk drive, or simply hard drive, as it is known by most computer users, has come a long way and evolved over fifty years to become the ubiquitous storage device the world knows today."

Abstract
This paper is a plea to emplore people to drive safely. It takes a look at some hard issues and reasons for not driving safely and why it is important to always drive safely. The paper reveals that every motor vehicle accident could have been avoided had one or more drivers chosen to drive safely. The paper warns: Do not be responsible for the death of another person because you were careless.

From the Paper
"Persuading people to drive safely sounds like an easy task, who wouldn't want to drive safely, right? Unfortunately the vast majority of drivers do not exhibit their best behavior on the road, street, or highway. The number one reason to drive safely is to save a life; it might be your own, a stranger's or possibly a family member, but statistically motor vehicle accidents account for almost half of the yearly average of 117,000+ accidents by death (Best 1). That roughly 52,000 motor vehicle deaths each year; in the entire Vietnam War the total number of US dead was 58,159 over 20 years. In one year, nearly as many people in the US are..."

Abstract
This paper describes how Big Drive Auto has expanded its market into Poland, presenting an overall picture of the business environment in that nation. First, the paper discusses how Big Drive Auto can further expand its position in Poland. Then, it examines the economic climate there, looking at the impact of the current global financial crisis. Particular attention is also given to the consumer price index. The paper concludes by stating that by using all this macroeconomic data, Big Drive can make important decisions as to how it will position itself with regard to the economic crisis in Poland.

From the Paper
'At the same time, the consumer price index is a good index both of the level of inflation in a country and of the thresholds between which Big Drive can let the prices of its own products fluctuate. If the consumer price index increases by 5 % in a year, for example, it would be a good reason for Big Drive to increase its own prices as well, motivating it with the overall increases of prices in the Polish economy. This will anyhow be a simple hedging measure against the possibility that some of the costs that Big Drive incurs, either through direct investment in Poland or through costs associated to exporting to Poland, might increase as well due to a rise in the consumer prices index.
"The elements mentioned in the first paragraph led to the country's sustained economic growth after the year 2000, especially in 2006 and 2007, when the country's GDP grew with 6.2 and 6.8 % respectively . This period of economic growth could also be translated in terms of the private consumption that grew at a regular pace..."

Abstract
This paper examines the film, "Mulholland Drive," directed by David Lynch. Specifically, it chooses three or four aspects of the film and discusses how these aspects work within the film narrative, while explaining how these aspects are connected and related to psychoanalysis. It looks at how the function of dreams is central to this strange film, as are the performance of the uncanny and the representation of gender and sexuality. It explores how the film uses many specifics of psychoanalysis to create a feeling of unrealistic fantasy and to create a mood of dark unknowns. "Mulholland Drive" is not your average afternoon matinee; it is a disturbing and artistic look at Hollywood, its successes and failures, and the underlying secrets we all keep hidden deep inside our own psyches.

From the Paper
"Throughout the film, which has a dreamlike and unreal quality, it is difficult to determine when the characters are awake or dreaming, and why some of the characters even exist, such as the strange couple who bid Betty farewell at LAX, and hoot merrily after she leaves. In one dreamlike and strange scene, the MC at a nightclub mentions, "This is all a tape recording. It is an illusion," as the music plays and the musicians pretend to perform. During the visit, Betty and Rita begin to weep, and "Betty shakes and weeps in some hyperemotional response to the music. Without explanation, she finds a glistening blue box in her purse" (Wyman, et. al. 1). Indeed, this club, "Silencio," seems to bring to mind all the glamor and glitz of old Hollywood, which could be why the women weep, they are weeping for a time gone by, even if it is only a very bad dream."

Abstract
The paper discusses how every day, many human beings have to do the tedious and sometimes difficult task of driving, and it is well known that this leads to high stress levels, and actually ages people if they do too much of this. Moreover, the paper argues that people are not perfect, and so sometimes they crash their cars, due to human error, because they are tired, or under the influence of alcohol, drugs or medications. The paper's proposal is that we invent cars that drive themselves.

Abstract
This paper reviews David Lynch's movie "Mulholland Drive", which takes a post-modern look at the American Dream, where it becomes obvious that things are not they seem and not as we would like them to be. It examines how David Lynch has taken the traditional Disneyland American Dream take on things and has thrown in a postmodern twist on it to bring the situation into a reality that exists within his character, a postmodern reality with which most of us can see a reflection of in our own lives. It provides a brief synopsis of the plot and an analysis of the main characters.

From the Paper
"With the unlocking of the blue box, we are then thrown into the postmodern reality where Diane Selwyn is a burnt out young actress who never got anywhere and will never go anywhere. The only roles she ever got were given to her through Camilla, her movie star lover trying to help Dianne out. Dianne is obsessed with Camilla and longs for her but Camilla decides to leave Dianne to be with Adam, the hip director. Camilla is depressed, she is made jealous while watching Adam and Camilla make out on a movie set; she tries masturbation but is not satisfied. When Camilla brings her to a posh Hollywood party, the other guests are annoyed with her for being late and pity her because she is a nobody in the Hollywood world."

Abstract
This research paper presents a marketing plan for a drive-in theater. Included is background on the types of entertainment, comparisons of negatives and positives in a SWOT-style analysis, proposals of special promotions and events and alternate sources of revenue to maximize income from the facility. The paper also contains suggestions of a percentage budget for a marketing dollar allocation.

From the Paper
"Situation Analysis " The people attending drive-ins today are the same ones who went as kids in the '50s and '60s and eventually their kids will go too. It's an entertaining, inexpensive, wholesome night for the family.Our business has only recently gone from being stable to a growth mode. We have found that the Disney animated hit The Lion King in 1994 and King Kong did especially well outdoors and helped create a new generation of drive-in theater fans.

"We are on track and on trend for current consumer and advertising mood. A major issue facing marketers and advertisers since the September 11 terrorist attacks is what do they sell and how do they sell it in a changed world. Advertising and marketing are happening in relation to a major public event, the "War on Terror", the "All Anthrax All the Time" news networks, a recession, and the largest increase in unemployment in five years."
