![]() When the independent testing labs started including Microsoft Defender, it managed to score below zero in some tests. Oh, it went through some rough stages developmentally. At release, it could detect around 1,200 specific viruses, and users had to install any updates manually.įast-forward to today, and you get Microsoft Defender, a rather more impressive product. The core of that product was purchased by Symantec and became the OG Norton Antivirus. Microsoft has offered built-in antivirus protection of one kind or another since the release of Microsoft Anti-Virus for DOS in 1993. Either way, you can improve your protection by installing a third-party antivirus.ĭo I Need Antivirus Software If I Have Windows Defender? For others, security is baked into the OS thoroughly enough that malware has a really hard time doing anything. For some, protection takes the form of a full-on antivirus. Windows, macOS, Android, and iOS all include protection against malware, in one way or another. Depending on the operating system, adding security beyond what’s built in ranges from a good idea to an absolute necessity. In most cases, you really should pay for security, or use a third-party free solution. ![]() And hey, Macs don’t catch viruses, right? Maybe you can just rely on the security that’s built in, rather than laying out your hard-earned cash for security protection.

vaginal problems (discharge, itching, bacterial vaginosis and other infections).urinary problems (painful urination, urinary tract infections).Immediate complications of FGM can include: Although all forms of FGM are associated with increased risk of health complications, the risk is greater with more severe forms of FGM. It involves removing and damaging healthy and normal female genital tissue, and it interferes with the natural functions of girls' and women's bodies. No health benefits, only harmįGM has no health benefits, and it harms girls and women in many ways. Type 4: This includes all other harmful procedures to the female genitalia for non-medical purposes, e.g., pricking, piercing, incising, scraping and cauterizing the genital area. The seal is formed by cutting and repositioning the labia minora, or labia majora, sometimes through stitching, with or without removal of the clitoral prepuce/clitoral hood and glans. Type 3: Also known as infibulation, this is the narrowing of the vaginal opening through the creation of a covering seal. Type 2: This is the partial or total removal of the clitoral glans and the labia minora (the inner folds of the vulva), with or without removal of the labia majora (the outer folds of skin of the vulva). Type 1: This is the partial or total removal of the clitoral glans (the external and visible part of the clitoris, which is a sensitive part of the female genitals), and/or the prepuce/clitoral hood (the fold of skin surrounding the clitoral glans). Types of FGMįemale genital mutilation is classified into 4 major types: WHO strongly urges health care providers not to perform FGM and has developed a global strategy and specific materials to support health care providers against medicalization. In several settings, there is evidence suggesting greater involvement of health care providers in performing FGM due to the belief that the procedure is safer when medicalized. The practice also violates a person's rights to health, security and physical integrity the right to be free from torture and cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment and the right to life, in instances when the procedure results in death. It is nearly always carried out by traditional practitioners on minors and is a violation of the rights of children. ![]() ![]() It reflects deep-rooted inequality between the sexes and constitutes an extreme form of discrimination against girls and women. The practice of FGM is recognized internationally as a violation of the human rights of girls and women. ![]() The practice has no health benefits for girls and women and cause severe bleeding and problems urinating, and later cysts, infections, as well as complications in childbirth and increased risk of newborn deaths. Female genital mutilation (FGM) comprises all procedures that involve partial or total removal of the external female genitalia, or other injury to the female genital organs for non-medical reasons. ![]() The most privileged user on these systems is named root, ergo a rootkit is an application that provides root access to the system. Rootkits are so named because the first rootkits targeted Unix-like operating systems. Rootkits typically install themselves into Ring Zero and thus inherit the highest level of access possible. Conceptually, these different levels of control are illustrated in the protection ring model with the all-powerful kernel inhabiting Ring Zero and mere human applications in the outer rings. On the other hand, applications that us humans directly interact with, such as word processors and web browsers, need relatively little control to do their job. ![]() The operating system heart, the kernel, needs to have absolute control over every piece of hardware and software in the computer in order to do its job. Different classes of programs need different permissions in order to do their job. In the run of a day you probably use many different programs on your computer.

![]() Cards to Removeįor your deck to remain at 99 cards (+Kadena of course) you’ll want to remove some cards. However it’s flexibility is nice, it plays well with Kadena and probably deserves a spot in your 99-card deck. It’s a bad creature, weak land or slow ramp spell. It’s the ultimate jack of all trades, master of none. Remember that all of those lands are a great Faceless Menace upgrade, no matter which commander you’ll decide to play.įitting the theme of the deck is Zoetic Cavern. Scry lands ( Temple of Malady, Temple of Deceit, Temple of Mystery).Check lands ( Woodland Cemetery, Drowned Catacomb, Hinterland Harbor).Shock lands ( Overgrown Tomb, Watery Grave, Breeding Pool).Thankfully, other good lands were recently reprinted, so you should probably add some of them: Some lands such as fetch lands can be pricier. It’s not too flashy, but it’s an important part of every Faceless Menace upgrade. LandsĪs a three color deck, you should pay attention to your lands. Putrefy is also good and it’s pretty cheap too. Assassin’s Trophy and Casualties of War are both very versatile and you’ll probably always have a good target for them. It will make each one of your blue decks better. ![]() It’s quite pricey, but it really is a true Commander staple. They would both fit nicely in the deck.īecause you have blue in your deck, you will want Cyclonic Rift. The deck is missing two great ramp spells in Rampant Growth and Kodama’s Reach. Manifest is another face-down mechanic which plays nicely with the deck theme. It’s situational but can be quite powerful if you set it up correctly against a multiple opponents. However there is a noteworthy exception however in Brine Elemental. Most of the Morph creatures are already in the deck. You can play a morph or two in your turn and then unmorph them during your opponents’ turn. Wilderness Reclamation is another good one. Ugin is particularly nice since it has other uses too. You can do so with Dream Chisel or Ugin, the Ineffable. Sadly, you won’t always have Kadena in play or you’ll want to play more than one morph creature. Kadena helps with your first morph which is great. Morph or no – three mana for a 2/2 creature is still a subpar rate. You can however return it to your hand with cards like Thousand Winds so you can cast it normally. If it’s not a creature, it’s just stays on the battlefield as a 2/2. If it’s a creature card, you may turn it face-up at instant speed for its mana cost. You put the top card of your library face down as a 2/2 creature. A card can instruct you to manifest another card – usually from the top of your library but it can be from other zones. Manifest is another way of playing cards face-down. As such this keyword only appears on creatures.Įxamples: Ainok Survivalist, Den Protector How Does Manifest Work? When you turn the creature with Megamorph face up, you put an +1/+1 counter on it. Mostly the same as Morph – with one small upside. It’s also great because it let’s you do something in the early game and still have powerful options in the late game. This way your opponents won’t know what’s waiting for them face-down. Especially if you have lots of them in your deck. Morph is usually a fun mechanic to play with. You can even set up situations to reuse your creatures if needed. Then you wait for the perfect opportunity and return a bunch of opponents’ creatures to their hands. You might have more mana though, or only three – in both cases you can play Thousand Winds face down for 3. ![]() No problem, you can just ignore the whole morph text, pay 4UU and cast Thousand Winds as a 5/6 flyer. Let’s say you have six mana and just need a big flyer. Take a look at Thousand Winds for example. This process doesn’t use the stack – this means players can’t Shock your face-down creature in response to you paying the morph cost.Ī lot of morph card will also come with an additional benefit for turning them face up. This means they can be cast face down for 3 mana as a 2/2 colorless creatures without creature types.Īt any time player can cast an instant spell, they can pay its morph cost to turn the creature face up. If you’re a more enfranchised player, feel free to skip the next paragraph. Before we do that, we’ll check how face-down creatures and Morph works. We’ll take a look at both of those two groups. Synergy is important – but good cards will really improve your win rate. On the other hand you shouldn’t forget about the simply good cards. That’s why it’s really important to pay attention to synergy when upgrading the Faceless Menace deck. Kadena, Slinking Sorcerer UpgradeĪs you can see Kadena, Slinking Sorcerer really cares about face-down creatures. *These cards are brand new designs!

The company is looking to revitalize its Nike partnership with a product concept celebrating Foot Locker (FL)’s largest brand partner and will remain so, executives said. (FL) noted that among its portfolio of brands, its non-Nike branded product sales grew mid-single digits, while the Nike mix was down - though “only slightly.” But Nike is Foot Locker ![]() The retailer also forecast total sales to drop 3.5% to 5.5% in 2023. Foot Locker reported fourth quarter sales Monday that eased 0.3% versus a year ago. The “reset,” as company executives describe it to analysts, comes amid softer sales. Included in the store trimming are 125 underperforming Champs Sports stores, which will be closed this year. Under its corporate umbrella, Foot Locker operates more than 3,000 Foot Locker, Kids Footlocker, Champs Sports, WSS and atmos stores globally.

It generally happens when the production requirements increases and you need to rent more storage units or warehouses. Even though fixed costs don't change drastically, there can be some situations where they may increase. Combining all such fixed costs to find your total fixed cost. Some best examples of fixed costs are overhead, salaries, rent, business insurance, property tax, and more. Your total fixed costs will remain constant even if the production quantity is high or low in that period. However, to calculate cost per unit accurately, you will have to understand fixed and variable costs. The formula is:Ĭost Per Unit= (Total Variable Costs + Total Fixed Cost) / Number of Units Manufactured. Then you need to divide the total variable and fixed cost by the total number of products produced during that particular period. You need to consider the variable and fixed costs for cost per unit calculation. Keep reading to understand more about those components. However, the procedure has four major components. Want to know how to calculate the cost per unit of product? Well, a simple per-unit cost formula can be used. ![]() Besides, it can also help you to fix a reasonable price and generate profits.

Any expense that is variable in nature but does not fall under marketing and selling expenses should also be included in variable non-manufacturing expenses while using above calculator.Ĭontribution margin is calculated to review either past performance or future profitability forecasting. These include variable expenses incurred on marketing and selling activities. For merchandising companies, it includes cost of merchandise sold and the related expenses incurred to get the goods ready for sale such as freight in, wages for loading and unloading the goods.

Waiters turned down more money annually from the Los Angeles Lakers and New York Knicks to stay in Miami, and the Heat believed that Waiters could take another leap forward in 2017-2018, even with a lingering left ankle injury. Guard Dion Waiters, who joined the Heat on a prove-it deal in Summer 2016, ended up re-signing with the franchise next summer on a four-year deal worth $52 million that also included incentives for games played. The Heat’s roster as it was constructed had to rely on internal growth, and it’s safe to say they didn’t get that. James publicly posted on Instagram on that February day that Wade being in Miami was how it was ‘suppose to be.’Ī post shared by LeBron James even the triumph return of Wade couldn’t overshadow Miami’s major flaws. ![]() James also seemed genuinely happy to see Wade headed back to Miami, as he could often tell that Wade missed being a Heat player. James conceded, saying that in the end it should be Wade’s decision, and the Cavaliers made the deal and acquired a heavily-protected 2024 second-round draft pick they will likely never covet. James, who is best friends with Wade, was told by Cleveland brass that the organization had a plan to send Wade back to Miami, but that they wanted him to be content with the plan first. Wade was traded back to the Heat on February 8 following an organization decision by the Cleveland Cavaliers to complete re-tool their roster around LeBron James. Instead, what they ended up getting was a 36-year-old Dwyane Wade being the highlight of the team’s season following his homecoming to Miami that began in February, an unpredictable return when you consider everything that went into it. Miami knew this current roster wasn’t good enough to compete for a championship, but team executives were hopeful that they would at least make the semi-finals and be a tough team to fend off there. The Miami Heat saw their 2017-2018 season end at the hands of the Philadelphia 76ers on April 24th following a 104-91 Game 5 loss in the Eastern Conference Quarterfinals, and it’s hard not to call that result expected. |
