Advanced Audiometry Software
Everything that modern audiometry demands neatly wrapped up in a simple software package that grows as you do.
KUDUwave 5 audiometry software is a culmination of almost 10 years of development and it works like a dream.
The full featured patient management system integrates with cloud storage and backup and offers tele-audiology features that make it easy to take your practice wherever you are needed.
Data entry is streamlined so you can spend more time on clinical work and patient care.
Easily move from patient data capture into testing with both automatic and manual audiometry options. Use the assistive interpretation feature to quickly confirm your diagnosis.
Like our audiometers, KUDUwave™ 5 combines best-in-class technologies to help speed up common tasks without compromising on quality.
And best of all, KUDUwave audiometry software is free, forever.
That's right, no annual license fees and no installation fees. Updates are free of charge too.
Speed and Productivity
KUDUwave™ 5 software allows you to seamlessly switch between patient capturing and testing tasks so you can save time and improve efficiency.
It includes the core audiology test battery such as Pure Tone Audiometry (Bone conduction and Air conduction) and Speech Audiometry.
Automated audiometry software allows you to "Work while you work" with automatic and manual testing as well as patient conditioning. Set the test to start and get on with your tasks while the test completes. Or, follow the test in real-time so you can jump in to take over manually.
Custom macros allow you to customise your testing protocol giving you the ability to create the automated audiometry process that works for you.
Engineered for accurate and reliable test results that save you and your patient valuable time.
Macros allow you to create or modify a protocol according to the results you would like to achieve and take full advantage of the automated audiometry software features on offer.
In practical terms, a clinician who is conducting a school screening according to the WHO standard would only test 500 Hz to 4000 Hz frequency, from 25 dBHL to 35 dBHL.
Simply set the macro to test within those parameters automatically and never worry about standards compliance again while saving tons of time!
Get Smart With Smart Folders
Smart folders are an extension of the Macro functionality that take advantage of the folder structure to provide next level functionality.
Simply select a folder or subfolder in your patient records and choose one of the smart folder types that suits best.
The testing process and required inputs will then be defined for all folders within the nested group and remove any possible deviations from the protocol you have set.
Simple repeatable processes for maximum efficiency and additional compliance.
Performing occupational health tests?
Select the occ-health smart folder option and follow the predefined process for data capture, patient history, baseline tests, follow up tests or exits.
Assistive Interpretation
Assistive Interpretation is the latest in audiology software features that intelligently and efficiently assists you with interpreting your audiometric results.
Assistive interpretation makes interpreting results quicker, easier and more accurate by referencing multiple standards to interpret audiogram results such as ASHA, BSHA, SANS, OSHA, Katz, and WHO.
The broad overview generated helps you to interpret your results without manual calculations.
Automatically calculate interpretations for:
Pure Tone Audiometry interpretation:
Interpret audiogram results with a single click and view; the grade of hearing loss, air-bone gap calculation, symmetry indication and much more.
Ototoxicity Interpretation:
Automatic assessment using multiple ototoxicity criteria standards assists you in analysing whether the patient has ototoxicity or not. Automatically compare baseline and follow-up audiograms with clear reporting so you can easily identify the affected frequency.
PLH Interpretation:
Save a ton of time by automatically calculating and determining PLH from the audiogram based on the frequencies 500, 1000, 2000, 3000 and 4000 Hz without referencing a long table.
Tympanometry Automatic Classification:
Intelligent algorithms built into the software employ standard industry norms to analyse and classify tympanograms automatically.
X-check Calibration Verification:
A digital calibration verification tool built into your software and hardware designed for accurate calibration verification on the go.
Replace daily biological test routines with objective, digital and accurate testing that saves you time and ensures the precision of your results.
Seamless Continuity.
Synchronise all your patient data with all of your connected systems, teams and/or branches.
View test results from remote locations when they come in using your favorite cloud tools such as Google drive, Dropbox, or Microsoft Onedrive.
Easily work with distributed teams as if they were in the room with you. No more doubling up on patient data from branch to branch or team to team.
Evaluate and interpret patient results from the comfort of your home.
With everything synchronised and safely backed up, you never have to worry about record maintenance or possible loss again.
Built-In Patient Records Management
KUDUwave 5 patient management helps to keep your patient data organised with simple folder based structure.
If you are seeing patients from hospital A, in multiple wards, or companies with multiple departments, simply nest your folders accordingly. It's as simple as Windows, no learning curve required.
Searching and finding patients is quick and easy so you are never left with orphaned or duplicated patient records.
Patient Data.
Capturing patient data is childsplay. Adding contact details, employment info and notes is quick and there are no limits on how many patients you can store.
You can even take a photo of your patient so it is easy to recognise them on their next visit.
Patient data, test results, and clinical notes are all safe and accessible from a single interface. We know that data security is important to you - which makes it important to us!
That is why your data is fully encrypted both on your PC and in the cloud where it is securely stored on world-class Microsoft Azure web servers.
Customisable Patient Reports.
Out with presenting generic audiograms to patients. Add a personal and professional touch to your reports. Upload your own branding at a click of a button and your printed audiograms will represent your practice like a pro.
Getting Started Is Easy.
Our software is so easy to install, via a free download, that you don't have to wait for a technician. Fill in the form on this page to access the download page, download the software and instal. Plug your KUDUwave into your laptop and you are good to go.

YOUNG ADULT-CHILDREN: For writers of all genre who want to write, and the readers who love them. Find what you want to know.
The 8 Habits of Highly Successful Young-Adult Fiction Authors
Best-selling writers including John Green and Veronica Roth share their strategies for crafting authentic, relatable teen characters — even in fantasy worlds.
Young-adult fiction, commonly called "YA fiction," has exploded over the past decade or so: The number of YA titles published grew more than 120 percent between 2002 and 2012, and other estimates say that between 1997 and 2009, that figure was closer to 900 percent. Ask a handful of young-adult fiction writers what exactly makes a YA novel, though, and you'll get a handful of conflicting answers.

So in some of the pictures I took, Kayla is not too happy. She didn't want to cooperate for the indoor, in front of the backdrop pictures. It was hard to get her to look at the camera as well. Oh well, I got some really cute pictures nonetheless.
At 17 months (May 9), Kayla weighed 20 pounds, 10 ounces. Yes she finally made it to 20 pounds! As for her eating, she is eating like a typical toddler. She loves cheese, raisins, applesauce, mandarin oranges, yogurt, fish sticks and hot dogs (I cut them up very small). I'm surprised at how much meat Kayla likes and eats. Kayla definitely doesn't like vegetables. What kid does?? When I give her peas, carrots, etc, she typically throws them on the floor. She also loves her sippy cup with her whole milk.
Kayla's language is really blossoming! She is saying more and more words or at least closer to some words. She is saying "bye bye", "ball", "dog", "bath", "shoes", "uh oh" and of course "mama" and "dada".
Kayla is a drama queen. She can definitely throw some temper tantrums and boy can she scream when she is wanting something she can't have. I have a little diva on my hands! She is a very happy, outgoing, fun loving little girl. She loves her sisters so much! She enjoys playing with them. I love seeing them all playing and laughing together.
Kayla continues to sleep well at night. I'm so lucky! She sleeps a good 12 hours at night. Kayla has to have one of her little blankets with her when she sleeps. I find her putting it in her mouth often throughout the day as well. Its her "security blanket". She doesn't use a pacifier or suck her thumb, but she does have her security blankets.

Brown College at Monroe Hill is a residential college at the
University of Virginia, United States.
Originally named Monroe Hill College, Brown opened in 1986 as the first modern
residential collegeat the University of Virginia. It was renamed Brown College at Monroe Hill in recognition of the endowment donated by the Brown family in 1994. The college is led by a Principal of the College and a Director of Studies. About fifty faculty fellows from many departments and schools of the university maintain close ties to the college.
The college is arranged by buildings called portals (the portals are as follows: Davis, Smith, Mallet, Long, Venable, Gildersleeve, McGuffey, Harrison, Tucker, Holmes, Rogers, and Peters). Each houses approximately 24 students and are interconnected by
Brown College residents can be of any year at the University (as opposed to other residence halls, where restrictions are placed based on the year of the student). Acceptance into Brown College is
competitive. The application process for residence in Brown College requires completion of a formal application which includes several out-of-the-ordinary essay questions, such as "Have you ever been to jail? And if not, why?" and "You have been chloroformed. You wake up naked in the basement of the Rotundawith a homemade flamethrower, a short length of rope, a ballpeen hammer, and a document from the Finnish governmentexplaining your situation and providing a short list of assignments. What are they?" Applicants are also generally given a blank page and instructed to use it as they see fit.
Applications are reviewed by both current Brown College residents and administration before a waiting list of students is posted online. Students whose names on the waiting list become highlighted green are offered a room in Brown. Once a student has been accepted to or chooses to remain in Brown College, that student is guaranteed residence for the next year.
The student leadership of Brown is provided by both the Brown College Governance Board (Govboard) and the Resident Staff (Resstaff), all of whom may use money budgeted for student activities. Intra-portal events are run by Portal Representatives, and have ranged from cultural dinners and movies to more edgy events such as "Eat and Get Out," "Picto-telephone," and "Guess the Behind."
Events meant for the general Brown Community are run by co-chairs. Such co-chairships include:
*Hauntings: In charge of setting up the annual Hauntings at Monroe Hill, a
Halloweenevent meant to raise money for charity
*Social: Responsible for the two semi-formal dances, and a huge host of other events for all of Brown
*Academic and Cultural Events: Responsible for bringing the arts and academics to Brown
*First Year Liaisons
*Brown Earth
The Executive Board of Govboard consists of the Grand Poohbah, the
Shama Lama Ding Dong, and the annually renamed Treasurer. The names were chosen on the theory that their powers would be more difficult to abuse given such humorous and unlikely titles. The Grand Poohbah roughly corresponds with the position of President, and is responsible for managing external relations. The Shama Lama Ding Dong, with position similar to a Vice President, runs the weekly Govboard meetings and all internal affairs. The Senior Resident of Brown for the 2008-2009 academic year is Meg Barry.
Activities and history
Each semester, Brown College offers the university community intellectually engaging courses and
short courses on a range of diverse topics such as "Arthurian Legend," "The Influence of Schopenhauerian Metaphysics in Wagner," and "History and Science of the Modern Firearm." Most of these short courses are taught by students living in Brown.
In the fall, Brown College puts on Hauntings- a series of haunted tents and rooms constructed within three days and taken down one day after the run completes. Hauntings raises money for charity and provides a tradition for both the students at the University of Virginia and the local families of
Charlottesville, Virginia.
The buildings which make up Brown College and Monroe Hill have significant historical value. The Monroe Hill House was
James Monroe's residence and family farm, and the Grounds of the University of Virginia are built upon land purchased from the former president. The Hill House is the original house in which Monroe resided.

In Quest of the YarikomiMarch 25, 2008
So I'm on my second loop through Ar tonelico 2, because I want to see the Cosmosphere and ending for a different character. This time I'm turbo-buttoning through the story bits and concentrating on leveling up, so that I can get past the stuff I've already seen as quickly as possible. Surprisingly, this second pass through the game is still quite fun, now that I'm learning the secrets of powering up my characters for battle. If I didn't think I'd already missed some stuff that I can't go back for, I might be tempted to try for yarikomi — the level of extreme game completion that would take at least 150 hours for a game like this. I'd see every conversation, craft every item, rescue every I.P.D. Reyvateil, explore every level of every Cosmosphere, and power everyone up to the max.
Usually I am pretty rushed to get to the end of a game, so that I can move on to the next game in my queue. I couldn't really understand people like my roommate in college who went around beating all the Weapons in Final Fantasy VII just for the sake of having done it. Or the mythical players who left their level 99 dudes on the battery backup of RPGs I rented or bought used. But now I'm starting to see the appeal of approaching each new game as a miniature hobby in its own right, something you play and play until you've exhausted everything it has to offer.
Maybe, in this new land of buying fewer games, I should find the few games that I really want to get deep into, and go for yarikomi. The GUST, Nippon Ichi, Flight-Plan, Intelligent Systems, Sting, and Atlus games I'm interested in these days certainly support that approach, or even specifically encourage it.

Position: 9th Time: 19:41
Today I made my now yearly visit to Shinewater Park to do Eastbourne parkrun, and like last year I was caught up in the Eastbourne monsoon.
Last week I was pacing 22 minutes at Hastings parkrun, and realised how hard trying to run for an exact time is. Shout out to Lewis and Adam, who ran it for the third and first time respectively. And Ethan of course who won the thing.
There was an awkward moment on the train getting there when I stood up to leave my seat and put my hand on someones head in front of me! Needless to say I got off that train quickly.
I can definitely tell winter is here because of not being able to get my breath back in the cold air. On Thursday we did hills and I really struggled, so much so that the last repetition was done at jogging pace. It's the kind of thing that'll stick in my mind for ages.
Anyway, onto today and I kept breakfast simple 6:30 porridge, sorted.
So like I said, it was tipping it down and a couple of runners, myself included, found shelter under a tree. This is when you get the old "only fast runners under here" banter!
The first kilometre showed I still need to work on conserving my energy, coming in with a time of 3:40.
I spent a lot of the race running with a woman who beat me by five seconds in 2017. This time she beat me by nine.
I didn't finish as well as I would've liked either, I think it's easier to finish fast at Hastings because you can see the finish line, while at Eastbourne there are a couple of turnings in the last 600m.
Afterwards I spoke to Pete, one of the old coaches at Hastings AC now at Eastbourne Rovers. He's of those people everyone knows around the East Sussex running scene.
Anyway, with the Christmas break approaching at cross country on the 16th, I've got to two racing weekends to go: one will probably be Hastings while I'm looking at Peacehaven parkrun for the other week.
To end, the station I get off is Hampden Park, so I always think of this song by E-Dubble when I get there: https://youtu.be/G48u_q5iz1o

(Ugli fruit)
Nutritional Profile
Energy value (calories per serving): Low
Protein: Low
Fat: Low
Saturated fat: Low Cholesterol: None Carbohydrates: High Fiber: Moderate Sodium: Low
Major vitamin contribution: Vitamin A, vitamin C
Major mineral contribution: Potassium
About the Nutrients in This Food
Grapefruit and ugli fruit (a cross between the grapefruit and the tangerine) have moderate amounts of dietary fiber and, like all citrus fruits, are most prized for their vitamin C. Pink or red grapefruits have moderate amounts of vitamin A.
One-half medium (four-inch diameter) pink grapefruit has 1.4 g dietary fiber, 1,187 IU vitamin A (51 percent of the R DA for a woman, 40 percent of the R DA for a man), and 44 mg vitamin C (59 percent of the R DA for a woman, 49 percent of the R DA for a man). One half medium (3.75-inch diameter) white grapefruit has 1.3 g dietary fiber, 39 IU vitamin A (2 percent of the R DA for a woman, 1 percent of the R DA for a man), and 39 mg vitamin C (52 percent of the R DA for a woman, 43 percent of the R DA for a man).
Pink and red grapefruits also contain lycopene, a red carotenoid (plant pigment), a strong antioxidant that appears to lower the risk of cancer of the prostate. The richest source of lycopene is cooked tom atoes.
The Most Nutritious Way to Serve This Food
Fresh fruit or fresh-squeezed juice.
Buying This Food
Look for: Firm fruit that is heavy for its size, which means that it will be juicy. The skin should be thin, smooth, and fine-grained. Most grapefruit have yellow skin that, depending on the variety, may be tinged with red or green. In fact, a slight greenish tint may mean that the grapefruit is high in sugar. Ugli fruit, which looks like misshapen, splotched grapefruit, is yellow with green patches and bumpy skin.
Avoid: Grapefruit or ugli fruit with puff y skin or those that feel light for their size; the flesh inside is probably dry and juiceless.
Storing This Food
Store grapefruit either at room temperature (for a few days) or in the refrigerator.
Refrigerate grapefruit juice in a tightly closed glass bottle with very little air space at the top. As you use up the juice, transfer it to a smaller bottle, again with very little air space at the top. The aim is to prevent the juice from coming into contact with oxygen, which destroys vitamin C. (Most plastic juice bottles are oxygen-permeable.) Properly stored and protected from oxygen, fresh grapefruit juice can hold its vitamin C for several weeks.
Preparing This Food
Grapefruit are most flavorful at room temperature, which liberates the aromatic molecules that give them their characteristic scent and taste.
Before cutting into the grapefruit, rinse it under cool running water to flush debris off the peel.
To section grapefruit, cut a slice from the top, then cut off the peel in strips—starting at the top and going down—or peel it in a spiral fashion. You can remove the bitter white membrane, but some of the vitamin C will go with it. Finally, slice the sections apart. Or you can simply cut the grapefruit in half and scoop out the sections with a curved, serrated grapefruit knife.
What Happens When You Cook This Food
Broiling a half grapefruit or poaching grapefruit sections reduces the fruit's supply of vitamin C, which is heat-sensitive.
How Other Kinds of Processing Affect This Food
Commercially prepared juices. How well a commercially prepared juice retains its vitamin C depends on how it is prepared, stored, and packaged. Commercial flash-freezing preserves as much as 95 percent of the vitamin C in fresh grapefruit juices. Canned juice stored in the refrigerator may lose only 2 percent of its vitamin C in three months. Prepared, pasteurized "fresh" juices lose vitamin C because they are sold in plastic bottles or waxed-paper cartons that let oxygen in.
Commercially prepared juices are pasteurized to stop the natural enzyme action that would otherwise turn sugars to alcohols. Pasteurization also protects juices from potentially harmful bacterial and mold contamination. Following several deaths attributed to unpas- teurized apple juices containing E. coli O157:H7, the FDA ruled that all fruit and vegetable juices must carry a warning label telling you whether the juice has been pasteurized. Around the year 2000, all juices must be processed to remove or inactivate harmful bacteria.
Medical Uses and/or Benefits
Antiscorbutic. All citrus fruits are superb sources of vitamin C, the vitamin that prevents or cures scurvy, the vitamin C-deficiency disease.
Increased absorption of supplemental or dietary iron. If you eat foods rich in vitamin C along with iron supplements or foods rich in iron, the vitamin C will enhance your body's ability to absorb the iron.
Wound healing. Your body needs vitamin C in order to convert the amino acid proline into hydroxyproline, an essential ingredient in collagen, the protein needed to form skin, ten- dons, and bones. As a result people with scurvy do not heal quickly, a condition that can be remedied with vitamin C, which cures the scurvy and speeds healing. Whether taking extra vitamin C speeds healing in healthy people remains to be proved.
Possible inhibition of virus that causes chronic hepatitis C infection. In Januar y 2008, research- ers at Massachusetts General Hospital Center for Engineering in Medicine (Boston) published a report in the medical journal Hepatology detailing the effect of naringenin, a compound in grapefruit, on the behavior of hepatitis viruses in liver cells. In laborator y studies, naringenin appeared to inhibit the ability of the virus to multiply and/or pass out from the liver cells. To date, there are no studies detailing the effect of naringenin in human beings with hepatitis C.
Adverse Effects Associated with This Food
Contact dermatitis. The essential oils in the peel of citrus fruits may cause skin irritation in sensitive people.
Food/Drug Interactions
Aspirin and other nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as ibuprofen, naproxen and others. Taking aspirin or NSAIDs with acidic foods such as grapefruit may intensif y the drug's ability to irritate your stomach and cause gastric bleeding.
Antihistamines, anticoagulants, benzodiazepines (tranquilizers or sleep medications), calcium channel blockers (blood pressure medication), cyclosporine (immunosuppressant drug used in organ transplants), theophylline (asthma drug). Drinking grapefruit juice with a wide variety of drugs ranging from antihistamines to blood pressure medication appears to reduce the amount of the drug your body metabolizes and eliminates. The "grapefruit effect" was first identified among people taking the antihypertensive drugs felodipine (Plendil) and nifedip- ine (Adalat, Procardia). It is not yet known for certain exactly what the active substance in the juice is. One possibility, however, is bergamottin, a naturally occurring chemical in grapefruit juice known to inactivate cytochrome P450 3A4, a digestive enzyme needed to convert many drugs to water-soluble substances you can flush out of your body. Without an effective supply of cytochrome P450 3A4, the amount of a drug circulating in your body may rise to dangerous levels. Reported side effects include lower blood pressure, increased heart rate, headache, flushing, and lightheadedness.
Some Drugs Known to Interact with Grapefruit Juice*
Drug Class Generic (Brand name) Antianxiety drug Diazepam ( Valium) Antiarrhythmics Amiodarone (Cordarone) Blood-pressure drugs Felodipine (Plendil), nicardipine (Cardene), nimodipine (Nimotop), nisoldipine (Sular), verapamil ( Verelan) Cholesterol-lowering drugs Atorvastatin (Lipitor), lovastatin (Mevacor), simvastatin (Zocor), simvastatin/ezetimibe ( Vytorin) Immune Suppressants Cyclosporine (Neoral), tacrolimus (Prograf ) Impotence Drug Sildenafil ( Viagra) Pain Medication Methadone (Dolophine, Methadose)

Hosting a "My Hero and Me" event at a school
I was asked to host an event at my wife's school called "My Hero and Me" for dads.
It is a 6-week program designed to help dads spend quality the with their kids. They provide food, various activities throughout the program and ends with an after-school trip.
At 1st I was hesitant but I signed up anyway because I know how to make sure a dad's presence is never boring. You know us dads get bored really quick and even though it might seem bias, real dads know how to entertain other dads.
So I did what Cool4Dads is all about, I showed everyone involved that #FatherhoodIsLit
Here are a few things to remember if you want to do an event like this.
You don't have to be an expert, be a dad
When they 1st asked me to do this, I immediately said yes even though I wasn't sure if I really had the time to do it. I just knew I couldn't let my wife or her students down once I signed up.
I had no clue what I wanted to do and actually started to overthink it. I'm great at computers, but could I find someone to lend us 50 ipads or computers to use? Should I include a booklet or guide for dads? All of these crazy thoughts kept popping into my head.
Thank goodness I chose one of the last weeks of the program for my portion. I was stressing myself out until I asked myself, "what do I like to do with my kids?"
We love building with Home Depot and I knew other dads would love it also. We reached out to a friend from Home Depot who hooked us up with kits and paint to use for our event. Major thank you to Cherylyn at our local Home Depot!
As a backup, I would have had them building structures out of marshmallows and spaghetti like this. I heard people love it and it looked cool.
For events like this, you decide what you want to do with the group. You already did the hardest part and volunteered. You don't have to be a pro at anything, just pick something fun and wing it like the hero that you are. Find something interesting that you can do as a group and learn about it together if you have to. No one will judge you!
It doesn't matter how many dads you get, its how many you affect
We had 8 dads and 11 kids show up for our session and it was off the hook. Sometimes we get caught up in the numbers instead of the actual work that is getting done. Don't let it happen to you.
I would have loved to have had 25-30 dads show up, but when you do the math, that's pretty hard for one person to handle. If you can't handle the number of people in the room, you might get nervous and everyone might even suffer.
Having a smaller number of attendees actually makes the event better. Now you can really dig in deep and engage with your audience. What really matters is how many you actually affect.
Did you teach them something new? Did you help them build a stronger bond with their kids? Did you leave them wanting to do it again or even wanting more? Did they feel like the hero you said they were?
Those are the questions you need to focus on, not how many people showed up. My small group was engaged and even ran over the time allotted to us. Not one person complained about staying later, huge win!
Bring your own kids, lead by example
The great Migos once stated, "Walk it like I talk it," and that's a motto I live by! I take my kids to all the events I either host myself or I am part of.
I used to worry that by bringing my kids to these events they would lose out on having quality time with me. Instead of stressing whether we had time together I include them as part of the process. They help me set up and they walk around events asking kids if they need any help.
Not only does it keep them busy but it makes them feel like they are part of the organizing team. It also teaches them so many things like people skills and organization.
For this event, my son was the photographer which he loves doing. My youngest and I built our own calendar but we didn't finish it in one take. We would bang a few nails in and then walk around to make sure everyone was good.
I like to lead by example and there's no better example than a family doing the things they say they love to do, together!
It's a wrap!
Events like a "My Hero and Me," event can do so much for a school or a community. I love community events! There's also no denying that it can do so much for the people hosting or running the event.
Even though it takes some work to pull an event like this off, it isn't difficult to do. I encourage all the dads out there, even if you're shy, to take the time to be part of one. Maybe even host one.
You just have to be a dad, you don't have to be an expert. Remember to do it because it can change someone's lives, there's no need to worry about how many people showed up. Even one dad that you help is a huge deal. Also, bring your kids and make them part of the process. Educate them in ways you never thought about and watch everyone have some fun.
Being a dad is a blessing, helping others by paying it forward is one of the greatest things a dope dad like YOU can ever do!
Make it happen, show the world why you are a hero!

On September 22, 1975, Charleston native Sara Jane Moore tried but failed to assassinate President Gerald R. Ford in San Francisco.
Moore, who was born Sara Jane Kahn, graduated from Charleston's Stonewall Jackson High School in 1947. She once lived in North Charleston—reportedly not far from a young Charles Manson, who himself lived in West Virginia for several years. She later moved to California, joined left-wing groups, and became an FBI informant.
Moore received a life sentence for her attempt on Ford's life and was taken to the Federal Penitentiary for Women near Alderson in Summers County. She escaped in 1979 but was captured three hours later. Later, she was transferred to a California prison and released in 2007, after serving 32 years.
Three weeks before Moore's failed attempt on Ford, Manson associate Lynette "Squeaky" Fromme had also tried to shoot the president, but her gun failed to go off. Like Moore, Fromme was imprisoned at Alderson. She was later transferred to a Kentucky prison and released in 2009.
Despite the close timing, Sara Moore's and "Squeaky" Fromme's assassination attempts have never been linked.

Catering Quotes Parwan Vic
8 Expert Tips For Picking the Right Caterer In Parwan
When it comes to the important things that can make or break an occasion, few are as crucial as the quality, taste and look of the food and drinks you serve. A lot is riding on your decision of which caterer to hire, and if you think this decision really isn't that crucial, look at it this way, fantastic catering can save an occasion that's on the rocks, however bad catering will almost always send out visitors to the doors.
In addition, due to the fact that catering is typically the # 1 or # 2 line-item cost for most occasions, the caterer you choose is also a considerable monetary decision and can affect how much money you have left over to spend on other areas depending on food costs and quantities.
Include that catering services can vary significantly in their pricing and the kinds of meals and services they use, and the procedure of picking a catering service can figuratively and actually feel like you are comparing apples to oranges.
# 1 Responsiveness And Personal Interest In Your Needs
Of all the event and catering professionals we talked with, this showed up over and over and over again, primarily since how responsive and interested a catering service is throughout your preliminary conversations is indicative of how they will carry out throughout the length of their contract with you (and more on contracts later).
A prospective catering service must be learning as much as they can about you in your very first couple of discussions with them, so you must expect them to be talking and asking questions about 20% of the time and you providing answers and describing your requirements about 80% of the time.
# 2 Capability To Manage Your Particular Kind Of Occasion In Parwan 3340
Not every catering service is perfect or every type of event, and many caterers themselves honestly admit this.
So when interviewing your Parwan caterers (and you must speak to a minimum of 3 caterers for any occasion with an affordable spending plan), you need to specify about the kind of occasion you are preparing and the type of food and/or presentation you are anticipating. Otherwise, you may end up selecting a catering service who simply isn't a good suitable for the type or style of your event.
Virtually every caterer has a standard menu or menus to pick from, and many do provide some level of built-in flexibility to adjust these menus to your specific requirements by substituting specific items and/or tailoring others.
However, the standout catering services will exceed standardized menu options and be willing to create incredible fare that matches much more particular style and dietary needs.
# 3 Desire To Supply Tastings
How will you ever know what a caterer can do unless you sample their goods? And more specifically, how will you know exactly what the menu items you are considering will taste like unless you particularly try them?
Some people avoid asking to sample the specific items they want for their occasion since it looks like an inconvenience for the catering service, however it is standard to ask for a sampling of what you are planning to order before you sign on the dotted line.
In addition, you can ask for wine parings for these tastings if they are appropriate for your occasion (once again, be prepared to pay a fee, it's a small price to pay to guarantee you pick the best catering service). And when you are tasting the food, also attend to how it exists, as any catering service who puts in the time to correctly display a sample will probably be most likely to make that sort of effort on your occasion day.
Are you an event supervisor who needs to handle catering information, spending plans and tasks?
Or are you a caterer who needs to track proposals, invoices, meal selections, inventory and other customer information?
# 4 Familiarity With The Location
You may be in for a surprise if you employ a BARBEQUE take-out joint to cater a formal ballroom fundraising event. Or if you select a high-end business occasion caterer to serve a barn wedding event. Why? Since these caterers may not be accustomed to preparing and serving food in such a setting.
This can get back at more specific depending on limitations of the location itself, like when it comes to museums and historical sites.
Much more conventional places can likewise have constraints that catering services need to follow, like specific setup requirements or disposal constraints for waste food and water, so having a caterer that is familiar with a location's guidelines can potentially save you great deals of hassle on event day.
# 5 Total Description Of Services/Goods Promised In The Contract
The catering service's contract need to clearly define precisely what food, drinks and services the caterer will be supplying on the designated day( s). Moreover, it should secure you from non-performance as much as it secures the catering service from non-payment/default, so you may want to think about having a lawyer} take a look at it prior to you sign it.
Every detail must be included in the contract, consisted of chosen menus, variety of portions and/or individuals to be served, beverage/bar service information (if relevant) and all prices and extra services.
No catering service in Parwan with a shred of self-respect and scruples participates in an agreement with strategies to bail at the last minute, but you need to make certain there is a cancellation provision in your agreement just in case your catering service has to cancel.
You don't want to be left without recourse with only days or hours prior to your event, so simply make certain cancellation procedures and penalties remain in place so you do have a backup plan.
# 6 Referrals You Can Call and Speak With
Naturally you will need to check up on the caterers you are thinking about, and it's always excellent to start online and check out sites.
Nevertheless, don't stop there, as online reviews are not constantly dependable (and even authentic); for example, a good catering service might have had a couple of nightmare/hater customers who skew their scores, while a truly average caterer may have padded their online reviews. So see if you can locate some previous clients of the caterers you are considering and reach out to them.
# 7 Insurance
Every catering service we talked with called insurance protection "a provided" for caterers, and you definitely do not wish to lawfully be on the hook for some oversight or accident that was the fault of your caterer.
# 8 An Experienced Chef and Cooking Area Staff
Remarkably, how long a catering company in Parwan has been around might not be as crucial in picking a fantastic catering service as you might think.
So make sure to ask about the chef's bona fides and CV because he/she will probably be the one most responsible for the outcome of the meal and whether your visitors enjoy it or not.

Steve Marcelin, Farmers Market Manager
Steve Marcelin has been the RVMS Farmers Market Assistant for three years and is excited to take on the role of Market Manager as we go into the 2019 Winter Farmers Market season. Steve was born on a farm in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, where is family grew various crops like corn and plantain. Steve moved to the United States when he was 14 and has lived in Hyde Park ever since. Some of Steve's fondest memories from his homeland were from the local farmers market on Saturday morning. It was an incredible place that brought joy, discovery, scenery, cool gifts, and a place for people to meet each other. Those feelings have been revived through Steve's work with RVMS where the market is once more a magical place that brings him back to those memories and Port-au-Prince and provides a weekly brake from his hectic life. Steve strives to be the most creative version of himself and has a deep passion for design and creating. He graduated in 2017 from North Bennet Street School and loves finding physical fixes to problems. His favorite vegetables are beets! Even though he knows a lot of people don't like them, he finds them incredibly delicious and flexible to cook with. Steve is always outside, going for hikes, climbing trees, or sitting by camp fires.

Written by Malak Nour
Hello there! This is Malak here! Welcome to Art Bits; where each month, the spotlight is going to be on art. Since this is the first article, I thought I'd start off with art that comes directly from our newsfeeds on social media.
In a single newsfeed, you come across tens of posts that have absolutely nothing to do with each other. A deep philosophical post by a friend of yours is so casually followed by your uncle's revelation of the huge conspiracy theory we should all be aware of, etc. In the midst of all what's going on around us, we seem to lack this connection with what's going on within us; our own intimate feelings and emotions, those that make us who we are. Upon this realization, came Jovanny Varela-Ferreyra's motivation to create The Artidote.
After leaving Berlin-artparasites, Jovanny Varela-Ferreyra decided to create his very own platform: The Artidote. He combines visual artwork with quotes (or written artwork) to create a unique artistic combination: the "empathetic power", in which he totally believes. You see, art – be it dance, poetry, music, painting, or anything else – is an expression of the artist; of his innermost being. When you come across a work of art, you come across another human's perspective, another human's inner world.
Once you're able to relate to this other human being, and see things from their perspective for just a moment, you'll have cultivated empathy; a condition that, according to Jovanny, dissolves the possibility of conflict and "allows for love to be transferred more fluidly between individuals & societies". And when we're better able to understand others, won't we become better able to understand ourselves?
The choice of the silhouetted bull's head in the logo further illustrates The Artidote's purpose. Jovanny explains that it's inspired by The Great Big Bull from "The Hall of Bulls" in Lascaux, France; a drawing that's considered to be the largest on a cave wall. Ancient shamans are thought to have drawn images like these as a way to communicate the needs of their tribes to the high spirits.
Fast forward a thousand and something years later, and you have drawings on social media walls! It seems like we've always used art as a means of communicating what matters most to us.
You'll find The Artidote on various social media feeds: Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, Instagram and even Snapchat. Its posts go under several hashtags/segments. There are the ongoing traditional ones, like: #NoteToSelf, #TodaysMantra, etc. And there are more occasional, special ones, like: #WeatherReport, #LimitedTimePost, etc. A #LimitedTimePost will stay up only for 15 minutes for the lucky few who get to catch it. A post that goes under #WeatherReport will be a submission by a follower that Jovanny pairs up with an artwork.
Till next time
Why don't you go take a look for yourself? Not at a cave wall! But your Facebook feed. And don't forget to let me know what you think in the comments below.

Assessment of PEI Liberal Government Remains Stable
HALIFAX: Satisfaction with the provincial government is stable and remains high this quarter, according to the most recent survey conducted by Corporate Research Associates Inc. Presently, over six in ten (62%, compared with 64% in May 2010) Islanders offer a positive assessment of the performance of the Liberal government. The number of residents expressing dissatisfaction is also stable (28%, compared with 26%), while ten percent (compared with 9%) do not offer a definite opinion at this time.
Support for the ruling provincial Liberal Party in Prince Edward Island remains unchanged, with six in ten decided voters favouring the Liberals (61%, unchanged from three months ago), while three in ten (30%, compared with 27%) back the PC Party. Support for the Island New Democrats is stable (6%, compared with 8%), while two percent of decided voters prefer the Green Party. Those with no stated preference included those who were undecided (25%), do not plan to vote (5%), or refuse to state a preference (9%).
Liberal leader Robert Ghiz's personal popularity remains stable this quarter. Currently, over four in ten (45%, compared with 47% in May 2010) residents prefer Ghiz for Premier, while the next leader of the PC Party has the backing of less than two in ten (17%, compared with 16%) residents. Four percent (compared with 5%) favour James Rodd of the Island New Democrats, while two percent (compared with 3%) prefer Sharon Labchuk of the Green Party. Meanwhile, two percent of Islanders prefer the next leader of the newly formed Island Party of PEI (unchanged). Six percent (compared with 5%) prefer none of these leaders, while one-quarter (25%, up from 21%) are undecided at this time.
These results are part of the CRA Atlantic Quarterly®, an independent survey of Atlantic Canadians, and are based on a sample of 304 adult Prince Edward Islanders, conducted from August 9 to August 24, 2010, with results accurate to within + 5.6 percentage points, 95 out of 100 times.

Media recently reported on Target's short-lived effort at selling cannabis-based CBD products online. By the end of the day on which the reporting was made, the major retailer had already removed the product from its website. The Phoenix New Times quoted Target spokesperson Kate Decker as saying, "We started carrying Charlotte's Web hemp extract items last week on Target.com. After further review, we have decided to remove it from our assortment."
Many online retailers (including WalMart, Groupon, and Amazon) sell or have sold CBD online. This is in part because of the complex legal status of CBD. The Drug Enforcement Agency's (DEA) current stance is that CBD (and other cannabinoids derived from cannabis) is a Schedule I substance under the Controlled Substances Act (CSA). Last year, the DEA created a rule defining "marihuana extract" as an extract "containing one or more cannabinoids derived from any plant of the genus Cannabis," as marijuana, a Schedule I controlled substance. Use of "any" means it applies to any derivative of the cannabis plant, including CBD and other cannabinoids found in cannabis. This far-reaching definition purports to make illegal parts of the cannabis plant that were seemingly legal.
Setting aside that DEA rule, there are three scenarios in which CBD is arguably legal even under federal law. The first being when CBD is derived from the "mature stalk" of the cannabis plant, because the CSA's definition of marijuana "does not include the mature stalks of such plant, fiber produced from such stalks, oil or cake made from the seeds of such plant, any other compound, manufacture, salt, derivative, mixture, or preparation of such mature stalks (except the resin extracted therefrom), fiber, oil, or cake, or the sterilized seed of such plant which is incapable of germination." 21 USC § 802(16).
The DEA clarified that its new CBD rule does not include those portions of the plant specifically exempt from the CSA's definition of marijuana, but it also maintains that products containing any more than nominal amounts of CBD can be derived from the mature stalks and would therefore constitute unlawful marijuana derivatives.
The second scenario is when CBD is extracted from industrial hemp lawfully grown in compliance with section 7606 of the 2014 U.S. Farm Bill. The Farm Bill allows states to enact pilot programs for cultivating hemp for research and scientific purposes without a permit from the DEA. Under the Farm Bill, CBD extracted from hemp should be legal in the state in which it was derived, though the sale of this product in other states is not explicitly allowed under the Farm Bill.
The final scenario is when CBD is derived from imported hemp. In the early 2000s, two cases out of the Ninth Circuit, Hemp Indus. Ass'n v. DEA, 357 F.3d 1012 (9th Cir. Cal. 2004) and Hemp Indus. Ass'n v. DEA, 333 F.3d 1082 (9th Cir. 2003) determined the DEA cannot restrict or outlaw possessing or using hemp products simply because they contain trace amounts of THC. This is because some portions of the cannabis plant are explicitly outside the scope of the CSA, and the DEA was not permitted to expand its scope of enforcement to encompass those CSA-exempt parts of the plant.
At the time of these rulings, the Farm Bill did not exist, so these rulings only applied to hemp imported from outside the U.S. Cultivation of hemp in the United States (outside of the Farm Bill) requires a permit from the DEA (which the agency pretty much never issues to anyone). However, these Ninth Circuit holdings could also apply to hemp grown pursuant to the Farm Bill, making CBD from Farm Bill-grown hemp with only trace amounts of naturally occurring THC lawful under the Ninth Circuit's ruling as well.
The Hemp Industries Association sued the DEA over the "marijuana extract" rule and that case is still pending. Until that case is decided, uncertainty remains as to the legality of CBD products. The DEA may very well lose in this newest lawsuit because its rule appears to conflict with the Farm Bill and the Hemp Industry cases from the early 2000s. Nonetheless, despite potential legal flaws, the DEA's marijuana extract rule is currently in place, and anyone who distributes "marijuana extracts," including CBD, is a potential target of the DEA. This is likely why online retailers like Target have flirted with selling CBD products online, but usually end up pulling the products from shelves.

As big tech companies vie for a slice of the $3.5 trillion spent by Americans on healthcare each year, analysts at Morgan Stanley have a bold proposal: Work together.
In a recent report, the analysts laid out the reason for why Apple might want to join Haven, the healthcare joint venture from Amazon, JPMorgan Chase and Berkshire Hathaway.
"We believe Apple joining Haven would fill two important gaps: 1) the ability to continuously monitor biometric data and 2) provide a platform to aggregate health information and in turn deliver new health services. Both are important as we transition to consumer-centric healthcare," the analysts wrote.
Apple has added patient-facing features to its products, including heart rhythm monitoring on the Apple Watch and health information storage on the Health app. The company has also partnered with Stanford Medicine on a massive heart study as well as other studies with medical institutions at Johns Hopkins, NYU Langone and Duke University.
Morgan Stanley estimated that healthcare could represent 35 percent of the company's revenue by 2027. At the high end, the analysts projected Apple could clear as much as $313 billion in sales from the sector.
Haven CEO Atul Gawande has previously said that wearables and smartphones will be a cornerstone of healthcare in the future.
"The more capacity we develop to monitor the body and the brain for signs of future breakdown and to correct course along the way — to deliver 'precision medicine,' as the lingo goes — the greater the difference health care can make in people's lives, as well as in reducing future costs," Gawande wrote in The New Yorker in 2017.
But none of the three companies behind Haven produce medical technology for consumers, the analysts said. "Apple can fill that gap." And it's not all about the gadgets: "iCloud could become the go-to cloud service for storing individual's health data," Morgan Stanley said.
Haven was formed more than a year ago as an effort by Amazon, JPMorgan Chase and Berkshire Hathaway to give their employees better healthcare at a lower cost. Haven has kept quiet about specific plans but said that it will be doing partnerships with other companies in 2019.
The health technology sector is expected to grow 15.9 percent annually to reach $280 billion by 2021, according to Deloitte. So far, partnerships have been a key part of the strategy among tech companies to break into the market. But those partnerships have generally been with incumbent health companies or insurers.
Apple's historical reputation for walling off its products and software from the competition may be changing. Last year, the company partnered with Amazon to bring Apple Music to Alexa and iPhones to Amazon.com. It has also partnered with Samsung — a direct competitor — as well as Sony and Vizio to bring iTunes to smart TVs.
The analysts also noted that the Apple stock owned by Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway "could further incentivize the companies to join forces on Health." They also floated the idea that Apple could form its own joint venture with other tech and healthcare companies.

The Nevada Department of Public Safety recently released an updated list of out-out-state carry permits which are now recognized in Nevada.
Several changes were made to the list as a result of Senate Bill 175 which passed the Nevada Legislature last year and was signed into law by Governor Sandoval on June 2, 2015.
Does anyone now if the reciprocity of these CCW permits include 'non-resident' permits as well?
Are 'non-resident' Florida, Utah, Virginia etc CCW permits legal in Nevada or does the permit have to be from the residency of the State of the CCW holder?
Thanks for any info in reference to the aforementioned.
When Pennsylvania and Virginia elected Dims, one of the first things they did was void reciprocity with any States that issued 'non-resident' CCW's.
We need National Reciprocity in order to carry anywhere.

The Siege of the Family
All Our Children: The American Family Under Pressure
The plight of the family, so long a professional preoccupation of social scientists and social pathologists, now commands anxious attention among legislators and government bureaucrats. Everyone talks about the need for a "family policy." President Carter has repeatedly stressed the importance of holding the family together, and a growing number of agencies—the Senate Subcommittee on Children and Youth, the Select Committee on Education of the House of Representatives, the HEW Office of Human Development, among others—devote at least part of their time to problems of the family.
According to a theory currently popular in Washington, the United States already has a de facto policy on families, since the income tax, social security, medicaid, and many other governmental programs impinge in one way or another on the family. Tax laws reward marriage and discriminate against single taxpayers. Welfare programs help to break up families by restricting aid, in half the states, to fatherless households. Military and foreign service transfers often contribute, inadvertently, to the same result. The $750 personal exemption in the income tax code, which amounts to a partial subsidy of child care, favors the rich, like all personal tax exemptions, and thus puts an additional burden on the poor. These and other programs, formulated with an eye to other objectives, influence the family in an unplanned and often contradictory fashion. What the country needs, according to this reasoning, is a policy designed to promote "family health" and to correct the "anti-family bias" that often results, unintentionally, from other programs.
Current concern about the family probably derives not so much from the crisis of the family itself as from two important policy studies of the Sixties, the Moynihan Report and the Coleman Report. Government officials respond more readily to events in Washington than to events in the rest of the country, and both these documents have had great influence in official circles. The Moynihan Report, although widely criticized and denounced, reinforced a longstanding belief that poverty and broken homes go hand in hand. The Coleman Report, followed a few years later by Christopher Jencks's elaborate study of education and achievement,1 seemed to show that schooling has little effect on academic achievement (or on jobs, income, or social mobility)—that achievement for the most part reflects the attitude toward schooling that children bring to school from their families.
According to Coleman, "it appears that variations in the facilities and curriculums of the schools account for relatively little variation in pupil achievement insofar as this is measured by standard tests." Even racial integration showed a "rather small" correlation with scholastic achievement. On the other hand, "a pupil's achievement is strongly related to the educational backgrounds and aspirations of the other students in the school." In other words, middle-class children in middle-class schools expect more from schooling and get it. Jencks insisted even more strongly that families, not schools, determine the course of a child's educational career and hence his access to good jobs and a good income. Because "family background explains…

Additional Information:
A classic Hemba memorial figure carved from heavy and dense wood in a classic Hemba style.The figure shows much handling and good age. This wonderful figure would be a good addition to any collection.
Hemba number around 80,000 and live on the right bank of the Lualaba River west of Lake Tanganyika. They have been heavily influenced by their neighbors to the south, the Luba. Elements from the Luba are still present in the socio-political organization of the Hemba. The Hemba are divided into large clans headed by a hereditary leader known as the "Fumu Mwalo," who administers justice and watches over the ancestor figures. It is only in the last quarter century that their art has been identified as distinct from that of the Luba. Thus, many masterpieces in museums and famous collections have had to be reclassified. The most common of the Hemba ancestor figures are called "singitis". These figures can be up to 90cm high, usually male and in standing position with the hands along the navel, elaborate coiffure commonly cruciform, elongated or round face with serene expression. They were kept in special houses or in the house of the clan leader, "Fumu Mwalo". "Fumu Mwalo" would consult these ancestor figures, and also make offerings and sacrifices to them some important decision is to be made or every time the community needs ancestors help. The warm colored pagina comes as a result of extended us through offerings and touching. Singiti figures serve as intercessors between the living and the dead and as effigies of ancestor to recognize lineage heads and document title to land. Singiti figures are not strictly considered to be portraits of particular individuals. They depict rank, social status and ethnic identity through stance, hair-style and dress.

The corner of Bolton and Jan Smuts is turning into a subculture of its own. Each day of the week one can find locals lining the pavement with designer cocktails and hairdos. It is a hotspot for millennial journeymen to unwind and be seen. One of the latest additions to the Bolton corner cluster, is A Streetbar Named Desire. Though not brand new, the tapas and cocktail lounge recently celebrated its ninth month of service.
Life Imitates Art At A Streetbar Named Desire
Much like the Tennessee Williams play, A Streetbar Named Desire oozes sexual charisma. This can be picked up from the food and drinks menu to the décor and design. The branding, illustrations and photography for A Streetbar Named Desire was done by the celebrated design and art duo, Jana + Koos. Assuming to resemble the Kowalski apartment from A Streetcar Named Desire, the restaurant and lounge is something that Instagram dreams are made of. Visitors can expect a high ceiling restaurant area painted dark green, white marble bar tops and quirky cutlery and crockery. The attention to detail screams to be appreciated.
The Tapas At A Streetbar Named Desire
Kicking off with the bar snacks section, patrons can expect interesting entries such as deep fried olives, hummus with an edible veggie patch, and fried artichoke hearts. Tapas are divided into three sections, seafood and meat, veggie and something sweet. The whole idea behind the tapas trend is simple: eat a little, drink a little, talk a lot. The harissa marinated sirloin with preserved lemon chimichurri is a clear winner and can be perfectly paired with the vegetarian sweet potatoes topped with feta, almonds and pomegranate. Other interesting items include the cured trout tartare with pickled onions, tarragon and pistachio nuts. Creativity
The Cocktails At A Streetbar Named Desire
Armed with not one, not two but three bars, A Streetbar Named Desire takes cocktails seriously. The menu was perfectly curated with the aid of top mixologists. The cocktail crowd will enjoy the wide selection of booze mixes on offer. Start off your visit with an Epic Fornications which consists of vodka, pear liqueur, pear puree, lemon juice, elderflower liqueur and soda. This refreshing drink add just the right amount of sweetness to an evening of adventure. Next take on the Gingerbread Mule, which is a unique spin on the usual Moscow Mule. Tasting exactly like a gingerbread biscuit, the drinks is made up of vodka gingerbread syrup, lime and apple juice, and ginger beer. It's clear that the dudes behind the bar know what they are doing and we're convinced that there is not a single wrong choice on the cocktail menu.

Cleaning Malware & Viruses
There are a selection of programs available free on the internet designed to help clean attacks from your computer.
Download details...
Two common types of malware are viruses and worms. These types of programs have in common that they are both able to self-replicate; they can spread
(possibly modified) copies of themselves. Not every program that copies itself is a virus or worm; for instance, backup software may copy itself to other
media as part of a system backup. To be classified as a virus or worm, at least some of these copies have to be able to replicate themselves too, such
that the virus or worm can propagate itself. The difference between a virus and a worm is that a worm operates more or less independently of other files,
whereas a virus depends on hosts to spread itself.
Malware (a portmanteau of "malicious software") is software program designed to fulfil any purpose contrary to the interests of the person running it.
Examples of malware include viruses and trojan horses.
Malware can be classified based on how it is executed, how it spreads, and/or what it does. The classification is not perfect, however,
in the sense that the groups often overlap and the difference is not always obvious, giving rise to frequent topic discussions.

In computer security technology, a virus is a self-replicating program that spreads by inserting copies of itself into other executable
code or documents made by crackers (for a complete definition: see below). A computer virus behaves in a way similar to a biological virus,
which spreads by inserting itself into living cells.Read more...
