![]() In 2012 there were fewer than 600 reported cases. Just 25 years ago, more than 3.5m people in 20 countries in Africa and Asia had GW. Thankfully, eradication programmes have left GWD relatively uncommon. Livelihoods are affected if people are unable to stand or walk. GWD isn’t fatal but the ulcer is intensely painful and debilitating and secondary bacterial infections can lead to blood poisoning. Instead, the worm is removed slowly by winding it around a small stick after it emerges: this may take weeks. ![]() There is no available treatment or vaccine. The female worm emerges from the ulcer releasing millions of larvae which are then eaten by other Cyclops. But, about a year later, a painful blister forms which ruptures, often after immersion in cool water. Infected people don’t usually have symptoms initially. After mating, the males die and females (up to 1m long x 1-2mm thick – think Angel hair pasta) migrate through the tissues to the surface of the skin, often in the feet/lower legs. Cyclops die in the stomach, releasing the larvae which penetrate the stomach and intestinal wall, before moving into body tissues to mature into adults. You pick up GW by drinking untreated water containing Cyclops infected with GW larvae. Guinea worm has a complicated life cycle involving minute Cyclops water fleas. Guinea worm (GW), Dracunculiasis medinensis, is a parasitic roundworm that causes Guinea Worm Disease (GWD) among people in poor rural areas with little access to clean water or health care. Giardiasis commonly resolves in a few weeks without treatment but in some people it persists and can cause malnutrition. Most cases are among travellers to areas where it’s common, children in day-care, or in people who drink untreated water. Some infected people go on to develop giardiasis, an intestinal illness characterised by profuse pale diarrhoea, abdominal cramps, flatulence, fatigue and weight loss.

There are also links to install partner products including the VPN and screen recorder from iTop and the well-known Dashlane password manager. ![]() IObit products in the list include Software Updater, Advanced SystemCare, Driver Booster, Uninstaller, and Smart Defrag. Note that the last menu item, titled Action Center, is just an upsell page encouraging you to install other products. This time around, all the installations went smoothly. The last time I looked at this product it failed to install the Chrome extension. It loads in Internet Explorer automatically, but you need to take action to get the other extensions installed and enabled. IObit installs Browser Protect extensions in Chrome, Edge, Firefox, and Internet Explorer. Icons at bottom right display the status of three protection engines: IObit's own antivirus and ransomware protection engines plus the engine licensed from Bitdefender. The choices are: Home, Scan, Browser Protect, Security Guard, Tools, and Action Center. At the left you find a vertical menu of icons, with explanatory tooltips that float into view when you point to each icon. An animated status indicator dominates the middle, with a big Scan button below. The product's main window uses a rich gray-blue background with minty green buttons. This product really needs the help it gets from Bitdefender. Once I activated the installation with a registration code, it offered to turn on the Bitdefender malware scanning engine and the ransomware protection module, neither of which comes with the free edition. This level of bundled third-party products is uncommon in the antivirus realm, and not appreciated in a for-pay product.Īfter the quick installation, IObit warned that I needed to run a database update, and that a smart scan was in order. After installation came another bundled item, Drive Booster Pro. I’d never heard of those products, but the installer devoted the whole next page to touting a free trial of the well-regarded Dashlane password manager. It would have installed iTop VPN Free and iTop Screen Recorder Free if I hadn’t un-checked a pair of boxes on the first screen. If you don’t pay attention, you can wind up also installing a bunch of bundled applications. Take care when installing Malware Fighter. ![]() Given that the commercial edition fared so poorly in testing, I didn’t see a point in evaluating the free edition separately. On top of that, it doesn’t include tech support. IObit does offer a free version of Malware Fighter, but it lacks bonus features and even some central antivirus features. Got a ton of devices? With McAfee AntiVirus Plus, a $59.99 subscription lets you install protection on every Windows, macOS, Android, and iOS device in your household. IObit is a little cheaper, $54.95 for three licenses. For $59.99 you can get a three-license subscription for Kaspersky, Bitdefender, and others. Admittedly, I have never seen a time when IObit wasn’t on sale for $19.99, but other products offer similar new-customer discounts. ![]() Bitdefender, F-Secure, Trend Micro, Webroot SecureAnywhere AntiVirus, and others go for about that price. ![]() You pay $39.99 per year for an IObit license, which is a common price point. How Much Does IObit Malware Fighter Cost? In our testing, this product proved to be more pushover than protector. From the name, you might expect IObit Malware Fighter to be just what you need to combat existing and future malware infestations. Better yet, you want a tool so tough that malware doesn’t dare show its face. If a malicious program turns up on your PC, you want the antivirus to smack it down and throw it into quarantine, no kid gloves required. When it comes to antivirus protection, you want a product that doesn’t fool around.

This is a working dog that is accustomed to an active outdoor life. It is also friendly toward other pets and shy toward strangers. Good with Kids: This is a suitable dog breed for kids. It can live outdoors but would much rather be with his people. This breed prefers cool climates, but adapts well to others.

When you are creating a room, wall segments should join in order to form a closed shape. The word "wall" is used in the program documentation both for a single wall segment and for a wall consisting of multiple wall segments when the number of segments does not matter. The program can merge two segments of a straight wall into one when you remove the wall that crosses and splits it. A segment will also split into two smaller ones if you join a new segment to the middle of the first one ("T" intersection).

"With the unprecedented longevity of GTA V, we know many of you have been asking us about a new entry in the Grand Theft Auto series. Here’s the official announcement from Rockstar: In February 2022 Rockstar officially confirmed the next Grand Theft Auto (presumably named GTA VI) was in development. Hopefully these new characters will rank among the very best GTA protagonists of all time. The aforementioned Bloomberg report noted a change in Rockstar’s philosophy around satire in GTA 6: The company is reportedly making an effort to write fewer jokes at the expense of marginalized groups. "The only way we're gonna get through this is by sticking together. The trailler is light on plot, though it features this exchange between its two protagonists, lending credence to its reported Bonnie & Clyde inspiration: Lucia is the first female playable character in GTA’s 3D era, and fans are already enamored. GTA 6 Story, Protagonist(s)Īs confirmed by the first trailer, Grand Theft Auto 6 will star ex-convict Lucia and her unamed, male partner in crime (reportedly Jason).

The trailer also features Rockstar's versions of TikToks and livestreams, pointing toward a modern-day setting.Īccording to a 2022 Bloomberg report, Vice City is only the starting point: Rockstar will purportedly add “new missions and cities on a regular basis.” GTA 6 is also said to include more interior locations than any previous GTA. Rockstar calls it "the biggest, most immersive evolution of the Grand Theft Auto series yet."

There are some ways around the normal function scoping behavior outlined above, such as passing function handles as output arguments as mentioned in the answers from SCFrench and Jonas (which, starting in R2013b, is facilitated by the localfunctions function). They can also have access to variables in functions in which they are nested, which makes them quite useful albeit slightly tricky to work with. These are called nested functions, and these can only be called from within the function they are nested. ![]() ![]() In addition, you can also declare functions within other functions. they can only be called from within the script).
