He is on a journey to discover his mission in life as he is guided by a ghostly figure that appeared to him as a child.

PC viruses are not necessarily a major disaster despite what is sometimes written about them. But a virus infection is at the very least a nuisance, and potentially can lead to loss of data. Quite often it is the user's panic reaction to discovering a virus infection that does more than the virus itself. This book demystifies PC viruses, providing clear, accurate information about this relatively new PC problem. It enables managers and PC users to formulate an appropriate response; adequate for prevention and cure, but not `over the top'. Over 100 PC viruses and variants are documented in detail. You are told how to recognise each one, what it does, how it copies itself, and how to get rid of it. Other useful and relevant technical information is also provided. Strategies for dealing with potential and actual virus outbreaks are described for business, academic and other environments, with the emphasis on sensible but not unreasonable precautions. All users of IBM PC or compatible computers - from single machines to major LAN's - will find this book invaluable. All that is required is a working knowledge of DOS. Dr. Alan Solomon has been conducting primary research into PC viruses since they first appeared, and has developed the best-selling virus protection software Dr. Solomon's Anti-Virus Toolkit.

Sure a lot of Thai girls are good in English especially hookers. But what if you want to ask a "normal" Thai girl out for a date? There are countless of nice Thai girls that have never dated a foreigner before but would love to if you can at least speak some basic Thai. Or think of all the university girls most of them don't speak English or are too shy but how if you tell them in Thai "You are cute, do you want to go for dinner with me?" Imagine how many more Thai girls you can meet if you know some really useful Thai vocabulary and phrases! Leaving alone to impress girls no matter if they speak English or not. And not just for arranging quick dates - if you are in a relationship with a Thai girl it does make sense to know how to ask her if she's horny or ask her to undress. You will learn all this and much more in this book. The Thai Love Course is divided into two parts: The first part is about teaching you all the language skills you need in order to talk to Thai girls confidently. There are 6 lessons: 1. Courting / Arranging a Date Learn everything from "What's your name?", "Where do you go?", "You are cute" to "Are you free tonight?" and "Do you want to have a meal together?" Step by step from the first thing you tell her to arranging a date. 2. During the Date / Bring her back to your room Once it's time to meet her and take her out for the date you will have a repertoire of more than enough questions and statements to convince her to go back to your or her room like "It's hot here, isn't it?", "Do you live alone?", "Do you want to watch a movie in my room?" and many more. 3. In the Apartment / Making Love The tools for your bedroom: "I love your skin", "Can I hug you?", "Can I kiss you?", "Don't be shy" to "What is your favorite position? ", "Does it hurt?", "That feels good?" are just a few things you will be able to tell your girl. 4. Talking about Feelings If you want to be able to ask your honey why she loves you as well as understanding her answer - this chapter provides all relevant words and phrases you need to know. Also including useful tools for pickup lines ("You are so kind", "I don't want to sleep alone", "Do you want to be my girlfriend?" etc). 5. Breaking up Sooner or later you may want to end the relationship with your Thai girl and rather than ignoring her messages there are several ways to tell her that it's over and also give a reason for it ("You don't care about me at all", "You barely call me", "It's better we break up" etc). 6. Talking to Bar Girls / Hookers There is not one foreigner that I know who comes to Thailand on holiday or lives here permanently and has not been in "contact" with Thai bar girls. So in the final chapter you'll find everything related to talking to bar girls and hookers ("What time do you finish work? ", "I want to take you outside", "How much do you want?", "That's too much" etc). You'll love this one. Each chapter has a list of relevant vocabulary followed by useful sentences for real conversations. Everything comes in English, Thai transliteration and Thai script. The second part is about understanding the way Thai girls are thinking and what they expect from you in a relationship. Plus bonus content including Pick Up Lines that really work and the most important Isaan Words.
