![]() You can pay $15 to eliminate these, and you should consider it. It could also be the Special Offers-ads that show on the homescreen. It has finally upgraded its Android-based system to Google’s 2016 Android 7.1-which may be causing some of that extra lag. The battery life is also a couple hours shorter than last year, thanks to (guess who?) Alexa.Īmazon hasn’t upgraded the main processor, graphics, RAM, or almost anything else inside the Fire 8 in several years. ![]() It may still be functional, but this Fire seems slower, with more lag, freezes, and jitters when you’re navigating menus and opening apps. When you aren’t using it as a makeshift Echo, the Fire HD 8 begins to show its age and limitations. The Fire HD 8’s speakers can play music decently loud, too-not as clearly as many dedicated smart displays, and sometimes tinnier, but if music isn’t your top concern, it’s a fun setup. (Amazon made a special Echo dock to help you.) It works well, and is a cheaper and more flexible option than buying a smart display. Thanks to hands-free Alexa, you can now talk to Amazon's digital assistant from across the room, or put the tablet in Show Mode to turn it into an Echo Show-type device. That means you can nab games like Candy Crush and popular apps like Facebook and Netflix. The Fire HD 8 ticks off most must-have features for a tablet, and like other Amazon devices its entire interface is centered around serving you the best content Amazon (and Amazon Prime) has to offer-books, videos, music, magazines, all of it-and if you get to know the interface, you’ll figure out how to find other apps on Amazon’s own Appstore. Both exist mostly to sit and go unused-they don’t take good photos and aren’t particularly great for video calling either-but they are there and can theoretically do these things, which is sorta the point on a tablet this affordable. It joins the 2-megapixel camera on the back. It’s a 2-megapixel unit now, up from 0.3 MP (also known as VGA resolution). The selfie camera also technically got an upgrade this year. A 64GB card should be more than enough space to download what you want. You can now save movies and other media to cards up to 400GB. ![]() It’s not a deal-breaking annoyance, but it becomes a quirk of the ownership experience.Īmazon has also included a MicroSD slot again, which will come in handy for long vacations or trips. No matter how familiar I get with the Fire tablets, I still have to feel around for the volume keys sometimes, and get them confused with the similarly-shaped power button. There’s a volume, power, an audio jack, and a microUSB for charging-typical stuff that you'd find on a phone. Most of the buttons and connectors are on the top, if you hold it vertically, like a book. Like previous 8-inch Fires, the screen still tends to attract fingerprint gunk more than other tablets, though you get used to it fairly quick. Amazon even placed a tiny lip around the edge of the screen to help prevent cracking or scratching if you drop it. It’s a travel-sized 8-inch (1,280 x 800 pixel) glass screen cradled by a cheap-feeling though somewhat durable plastic that you can buy in all three basic colors, and black. The new Fire HD 8 is pretty much the same, inside and out, as last year’s model, and the 2016 model before that. Its sequel-the 8th generation of Fire tablets, for those keeping count-is still dirt cheap and completely functional, just a little less fun to use. Last autumn, I recommended the 2017 Fire HD 8 and named it the best of Amazon’s bundle of affordable tablets.

![]() But towards the end of crossing the river, the rat pushed the cat to the water, and thereby causing its death. The dog found playing in the water was more rewarding for him, while the pig took extreme pleasure in lavish food found on the way and many occasional naps during the course of the journey.Īdding great misery to the tragic tale of the cat, there is an alternate version is in circulation, the rat actually brought cat also along with him on the race. It is said that both wasted some time totally forgetting the race. The eleventh was the dog and the last one was the pig. Seeing the sudden slithering movement of the snake, the horse was momentarily taken aback, and in the meantime, the snake quickly slid into the finishing line, pushing the horse to the seventh position.īeing great team players, the goat, the monkey and the rooster rafted on a boat with collective effort finally arriving at the gate, a task which they initially thought was impossible for them. The horse thought it was the next, but the snake had already hidden into the horse’s hoof, and it uncoiled right before they arrived the finishing line. It is also said that the benevolent dragon helped the rabbit to cross the river in the last lap of the swim which was exhausting for a small animal like rabbit. Some legends say the dragon could have been the first, had his attention not diverted into assisting a firefighting incident in a nearby village. The ox came second, followed by tiger, and rabbit in the order, the quickest ones in the crew. Once the ox crossed the river, the rat darted into the gate of the heaven, becoming the first animal to meet the Jade emperor, and thereby becoming the first one in the zodiac. ![]() Although, the ox came to know about the rat’s free ride at the middle of the river, the former’s benevolence saved the latter from danger. Unbeknownst to the ox, the ambitious rat secretly sneaked into one of its giant ears. The ox, who was one of the most adept swimmers among the dozen, jumped into the river zealously aiming the opposite end in full spirit. They were almost in an equal speed until they arrive at a very wide flowing river that separated the earth from the heavenly gate. In the meantime, the rest twelve vigorously raced towards the Jade emperor. Nonetheless, the cat was dropped out from the race even before it started, and there began a never-ending tale of rivalry between the two species. Some tales say the rat purposefully did so to avoid a competition, while some other interpretations suggest that he actually forgot the case of his sleep-loving friend. The race starts the next morning, so the cat requested the rat to wake him up in the morning, while the rat smilingly nodding to his friend’s wish. The initial line-up of animals also included the cat, who was the best friend of the rat at that time. Originally, 13 species of animals came forward to take part in the race, while each of them secretly wishing to be the first one to arrive the garden gate. The Jade Emperor wished to conduct a race for the creatures on the earth to pick animals to act as guards for the Chinese zodiac. The origin of the Chinese zodiac and the ranking of the animals in the zodiac are better explained with the help of a folklore that is linked to a very prominent Chinese mythical figure called Jade Emperor, who is considered to be the first god. Legend of the Chinese New Year Animals and Their Respective Ranks There is a curious legend behind the origin of Chinese zodiac animals which is linked to a Chinese heavenly figure called Jade emperor. The 12 Chinese zodiac animals are listed below in their respective ranks: Year 2021 was associated to the Ox, 2022 is the year of Tiger, whereas 2023 will be known as the Year of the Rabbit. Starting with the rat, and ending with a pig, the cycle of 12 animals repeats in this order incessantly. The Chinese Zodiac, which is based on the classical lunar calendar, follows a 12-year cycle of years, and each year of such repeating cycle is linked to one from a cluster of 12 different animals. In this article, we are attempting to summarise the origin and meaning of Chinese New Year animals. This system was formalised during the Han dynasty, which makes it a system that is more than 2000 years old. ![]() Historically, the Chinese zodiac and the usage of the animal mascots were in use since the 5 th century BC. What do these Chinese New Year animals represent, and how did such an iconic affection towards animalia originate in the Chinese culture? In addition to the colour and splendour of the Chinese new year, each year’s unique animal mascot also instils significant enthusiasm and curiosity in the minds of everyone to take part in celebrations. The aura of the Chinese New Year festivities, with a glorious image of the associated animal of the Chinese zodiac, is ceremoniously brought to our minds during the first weeks of every calendar year. ![]() ![]() Extraordinary environments and thoughtfully chosen elements come together at Equinox Hotels, reimagining how you move, eat, sleep, work, and live.

Its first appearance was on the album Canção do Amor Demais, in which the singer Elizeth Cardoso recorded two compositions by the duo Antônio Carlos Jobim and Vinicius de Moraes, "Outra Vez" and " Chega de Saudade", which were accompanied by João Gilberto's guitar. The style emerged at the time when samba-canção was the dominant rhythm in the Brazilian music scene. The bossa nova wave came to renew samba and to contribute to the modernization of Brazilian music, being a watershed. In 1959, the soundtrack to the film Black Orpheus (Orpheu Negro) was released, which included the future jazz standard Manhã de Carnaval, "The Morning of the Carnival". According to the author Walter Garcia, the synthesis performed by Gilberto's guitar was a reduction of the " batucada" of samba, a stylization produced from one of the percussion instruments: the thumb stylized a surdo the index, middle and ring fingers phrased like a tamborim. According to musicologist Gilberto Mendes, the bossa nova was one of the "three rhythmic phases of samba", in which the "bossa beat" had been extracted by João Gilberto from the traditional samba. One of the major innovations of bossa nova was the way to synthesize the rhythm of samba on the classical guitar. In line with this thesis, musicians such as Baden Powell, Roberto Menescal, and Ronaldo Bôscoli also claim that this beat is related to the tamborim of the samba school. The bossa nova wave became popular around the world this increased popularity helped to renew samba and contributed to the modernization of Brazilian music in general.Īccording to Brazilian journalist Ruy Castro, the bossa beat – which was created by the drummer Milton Banana – was "an extreme simplification of the beat of the samba school", as if all instruments had been removed and only the tamborim had been preserved. The "bossa nova beat" is characteristic of a samba style and not of an autonomous genre. ![]() It is mainly characterized by a "different beat" that altered the harmonies with the introduction of unconventional chords and an innovative syncopation of traditional samba from a single rhythmic division. Bossa nova ( Portuguese pronunciation: ⓘ) is a relaxed style of samba developed in the late 1950s and early 1960s in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. ![]() ![]() ![]() You can also raise your concerns by getting in touch with regulatory bodies, such as GPhC.

The device IP address, geolocation data and user ID are all tracked and recorded by Google, the lawsuit alleges. Google learns exactly what content the user’s browsing software was asking the website to display, and it also transmits a header containing the URL information of what the user has been viewing and requesting online. The plaintiffs allege that even in Incognito mode, Google can see what websites Chrome users visit and collect data “through means that include Google Analytics, Google ‘fingerprinting’ techniques, concurrent Google applications and processes on a consumer’s device,” as well as Google’s AdManager.Īd Manager is a Google service allowing businesses to deliver and report on a company’s web, mobile, and video advertising.Īccording to the lawsuit, more than 70% of all online websites “use one or more of these Google services.” Specifically, Plaintiffs allege that, whenever a user in private browsing mode visits a website that is running Google Analytics or Google Ad Manager, Google’s software scripts on the website "surreptitiously direct the user’s browser to send a secret, separate message to Google’s servers in California.” The plaintiffs, who are Google account holders, alleged the search engine collected their data and distributed and sold it for targeted advertising through a real-time bidding (RTB) system. When a user chooses to use Incognito mode, Google’s web browser is supposed to automatically delete browsing history and cookies at the end of a session. Originally filed in June 2020, the class-action lawsuit seeks at least $5 billion, accusing the Alphabet unit of surreptitiously collecting information about what people view online and where they browse, despite using Incognito mode. Lawyers for the plaintiffs say they have a large number of internal Google emails proving executives knew for years “Incognito mode” doesn’t do what it claims. "These private browsing modes protect your browser history from snooping family or household members, but not from the ultimate collection of where you’ve clicked, what you’ve liked, where you’ve purchased – especially if users log into streaming, financial, or any personally identifying account," Trinidad said. Earlier this month, Google settled a lawsuit filed by Arizona's AG for $85 million.įrom a trust perspective, offerings like Incognito mode place users into a false sense of security as it's assumed that Incognito, and private browsing generally, will protect them from the collection of their data, according to Grace Trinidad, research director in IDC's Security & Trust research practice. Google also faces lawsuits related to user privacy from the Department of Justice and attorneys general in several states, including Texas, Washington, DC, and Washington state. In simple terms, privacy modes like Incognito are expected to not track and save data about online searches and websites users visit. Privacy settings in web browsers are intended remove local traces of what websites a user visits, what they search for, and information they’ve filled out in online forms. |
