![]() To listen to Tidal Masters at full quality, though, you need a device and software that supports the MQA format. That makes it much easier to stream hi-res audio without worrying about eating into bandwidth or reaching data caps, which can be an issue with other services like Amazon Music HD. It supports up to 24-bit/96kHz file sizes, but with compression technology that doesn’t take up any more bandwidth than a CD audio file would. Fans of MQA argue that the format is superior to FLAC because the quality is determined by the record label, not the streaming service, and because it employs a type of compression they feel improves the sound quality of digital music. Tidal Masters is a collection of tracks that can be streamed in hi-res audio using the MQA codec. How does Tidal Masters work? DANIEL CONSTANTE/Shutterstock That includes 50% discounts for students, military discounts, and first responder discounts. Tidal also offers a number of discounted plans. HiFi Plus - $19.99 per month: This adds lossless High Fidelity and Master Quality Authenticated (MQA) support, along with Dolby Atmos and 360 Reality Audio support.įamily HiFi - $16.99 per month: This version allows for up to six different people on the same account but limits audio to standard sound quality.įamily HiFi Plus - $29.99 per month: Here, you get support for six different profiles, plus all the lossless and high-quality format support from the previous plans. HiFi - $10.99 per month: This removes ads while allowing for 1411Kbps sound quality. But if you are interested in upgrading to a subscription, these are the available plans: In 2021, Tidal changed this approach, offering a free version of its music service with occasional ads (currently, Tidal doesn’t have third-party ads, just reminders to sign up for a plan). The only way to access content was to pay for a plan. When Tidal first started, it did not include a free version like Spotify and some others offer. While other services have started to include lossless audio and similar benefits, Tidal still offers the best audio quality for casual listening without paying fees (more on this below) How much does Tidal cost, and what’s included? ![]() It also supports Dolby Atmos and Sony’s 360 Reality audio for spatial audio properties. Second, in addition to its free tier for streaming up to 160Kbps, Tidal has more expensive HiFi and HiFi Plus options that bumps up the entire catalog to lossless, CD-quality audio, and a limited catalog of hi-res music, including Hifi and Master, as well as Tidal’s own Master Quality formatting available with the HiFi Plus plan. Tidal is a very artist-friendly platform compared to other options, and for paid subscriptions, a portion of up to 10% of the subscription is specifically directed toward your most-listened artists in addition to their royalties. In 2021, Square purchased Tidal for around $300 million, ending this artist-based ownership, although its influence still remains. Tidal was originally owned by a group of musicians, including Alicia Keys, Beyoncé, Jack White, Kanye, Madonna, Rihanna, Daft Punk, Chris Martin of Coldplay, and others. Tidal will finally let you see which hi-res tracks are FLAC versus MQA What is Deezer? Features, pricing, and music quality explained What is Qobuz? Music, features, and pricing explained ![]() It has four confirmed subspecies and a fifth proposed one. The chimpanzee ( / tʃ ɪ m p æ n ˈ z i/ Pan troglodytes), also known as simply the chimp, is a species of great ape native to the forest and savannah of tropical Africa. Anthropopithecus troglodytes ( Sutton, 1883).Troglodytes troglodytes (Blumenbach, 1776).We need this bill to pass not only for the sake of public safety but also to preserve the lives of beautiful (and innocent) nonhuman primates, our closest animal relatives, who, like Buck the chimpanzee, so frequently pay the ultimate price simply for being the wild animals that that are. Urge your lawmaker to cosponsor this important bill! Take Action on the Captive Primate Safety Act The Captive Primate Safety Act, which was reintroduced to Congress on May 12, 2021, would institute a federal-level ban on the private ownership of nonhuman primates and restrictions on public interactions with any nonhuman primate species. Sadly for Buck, these regulations came too late to save him from a life of cruel captivity and a violent death. states that have already taken steps to ban private ownership of primates. Fortunately, private ownership of primates is now illegal in Oregon no one can obtain a new permit, though those who acquired permits before 2010 may maintain possession of their exotic animals. These dangers are not exclusive to owning great apes numerous people have reported violent attacks involving all primate species in private possession, including marmosets, capuchins, lemurs, macaques, and baboons, indicating that, irrespective of species or size, all of these animals are wild animals. Buck was acting on his instincts as a wild animal, which could not be extinguished even after 17 years living among humans as a pet.īuck’s story alongside several other haunting incidents – including that of Charla Nash, whose face and hands were severely mauled by Travis, a friend’s pet chimpanzee – underline the real dangers that owning primates poses to public safety. Without any friends or allies of his own kind, Buck would have felt constantly threatened in his alien captive environment – a far cry from his natural habitat. The simple answer is that nothing prompted this attack it was within Buck’s nature as a wild chimpanzee to attack anything or anyone he viewed as a threat. Although almost every article summarizing the events leading up to Buck’s sudden death state that “it remains unclear what caused Buck to attack,“ the truth is… what happened was no mystery. The woman kept Buck as a pet for 17 years. The police arrived and shot Buck dead, later stating that they had no choice but to kill Buck in order to provide medical aid to the woman and her daughter. She emphasized that the department must send more than one police officer because she worried one would not be enough. With her daughter barricaded in the basement, Buck’s owner called authorities to the scene and stated that Buck must be shot because the 200-pound ape could not be subdued. After escaping from his backyard cage and in a state of agitation, Buck attacked both his owner and her daughter, who suffered bites and extensive scratches on their legs, arms, and abdomens. On June 20, 2021, a chimpanzee named Buck was shot and killed in Pendleton, Oregon. ![]() So, maybe Lando suggested the carbon freezing equipment wasn’t specced for humans, yet he knew full well it was. C-3PO said it was fine and that prissy droid was known for saying things out loud that his companions wished he’d keep to himself. They said specifically in Empire that the Cloud City equipment wasn’t built for humans, but perhaps there was carbon freezing equipment elsewhere in the galaxy that was specifically tuned toward putting living creatures in the deep freeze. In short, Boba Fett started a fad that persisted 6 years later. As Fett went, so did other bounty hunters, many of which may have done business in Jabba’s palace where they could see Han Solo’s carbonite captivity with their own eyes. When Fett experienced the usefulness of carbon freezing bounties, he made it common practice. Why was it commonplace 6 years later in The Mandalorian? Picked and packed and ready to ship. Fett says, “ What if he doesn’t survive? He’s worth a lot to me…“ĭisney+’s The Mandalorian happens 6 years after the events of The Empire Strikes Back, so what changed in carbon freezing in those 6 years? It was portrayed as risky in Empire. Nobody trusted carbon freezing living beings in Empire Strikes Back, evidenced by OG Mandalorian Boba Fett, who clearly expresses his concerns to Darth Vader. That’s a huge shift from The Empire Strikes Back where an ad hoc experiment in Cloud City freezes Han Solo in carbonite in order to test the process before Darth Vader attempted to freeze Luke Skywalker as well. In fact, we see a fast-talking Mythrol, that the Madalorian had just captured, get the flash freeze treatment on the spot. ![]() In the opening episode of The Mandalorian, we see inside the Razor Crest, Dyn Jarren aka the Mandalorian’s ship, and he’s carrying several bounties who are frozen in carbonite. "::Bring it aboard and we'll free them.::" Hera says simply as the Phantom begins lifting into the air and to its docking port on the Ghost.Why is a living creature being frozen in carbonite in The Mandalorian so common when it seemed so risky in Empire Strikes Back? I'm guessing whoever's inside has been trapped since the Clone Wars." I tell her. It was coated in at least 3 inches of dust. "::What is it?::" She asks and I can tell she's curious. And we explored the cave over in the cliff and found something." Ezra tells her. "::Specteres 4 and 5 we're activating the Auto-Return tractor beam for the Phantom.::" I hear Hera's voice say over the coms. As we're securing the block inside, I see the bright lights of the Ghost. We guide the block through the cave system and back to the Phantom. "Already on it." I say as I activate the anti-grav and push it over. We can inform Hera of our discovery and figure out what to do from there." He suggests as I was approaching the block. "Whatever the reason the person inside is here for, we can leave it here." The symptoms rarely last for more than a day, and even more rarely can cause death." I inform him. It can include temporary stiffness, muscle weakness, numbness, deafness and blindness, or, rarely and on the other end of the scale, hypersensitivity, and/or confusion. Its what the galaxy calls the collection of temporary side-effects following a being's removal from long-term suspended animation in a block of carbonite. But victims are often left with what's called Hibernation Sickness. "Well, is there a way to free someone from carbonite?" "Oh." He says turning to look at the block of carbonite again. "I've heard rumors of one Old Rebublic General carbon-freezing himself and a small squad of his troops to infiltrate a Sepratist base one time, but I'm unsure wether its true or not." I watch as he takes in what I've just said and his face falls. There's a 65% of not surviving the actual freezing process." I explain. It masks their signal from lifeform scanners and is a great way for Bounty Hunters to transport their targets with zero worry of them escaping. "Carbon-freezing is the process in which liquid carbonite is flash-frozen into a solid state, encasing materials for transport in a very strong and very durable metal alloy. Such materials could even include lifeforms. ![]() tests positive for the coronavirus after traveling to China, health experts have a good idea of how they got sick. In late February, the CDC announced that there might have been an instance of community spread in the United States, meaning the “spread of an illness for which the source of infection is unknown.” How the novel coronavirus is passed from one person to another remains of central concern for health officials, as is tracking the way it moves. Kelly also says has seen spikes in lookups for words as simple as spread. spread / community spread / communicable / contagion The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is operating under the assumption that COVID-19 has a two to 14-day incubation period, based on what officials have seen with other coronaviruses. ![]() This is related to a virus’ incubation period, the length of time between when an infection begins and when there are apparent signs of the disease. One of the big questions health officials have been racing to answer is whether, and how long, someone might have the novel coronavirus while being asymptomatic: not showing signs that they have the disease. Symptomatic cases of COVID-19 include things like fever, cough and shortness of breath. But senior research editor John Kelly says people are also looking up more familiar fare: words like symptom, a sign or indication that someone has a disease. ![]() Many of the words that are seeing the biggest spikes on are exotic ones like coronavirus. Symptom / symptomatic / asymptomatic / incubation That French term, which came into use following the flu pandemic of 1918, describes roping off a whole community, which might contain sick and healthy people, and preventing anyone from leaving in order to curb the spread of a disease. When the Chinese government effectively cut off some 50 million people in Wuhan, the location of the first outbreak, that was most aptly described as a cordon sanitaire. To self-quarantine suggests that one is voluntarily confining themself by, say, staying at home, versus being legally confined to a military base by the U.S. (When someone is determined to be sick and is kept apart from others, that is known as isolation.) The word typically describes the confinement of people who appear healthy but could have the disease. If one is in quarantine, that’s good news in a way. It’s from this use that we eventually got the term that’s all over the news today. ![]() In the Middle Ages, Italians adopted that word to describe a 40-day period that boats had to wait before docking, to ensure the passengers weren’t sick with the plague before they were allowed to join the population on land. It was also used in legal contexts, like describing the period of time that a widow could remain in her deceased husband’s home before she started owing somebody rent. The word’s earliest known uses were in religious contexts, like describing a 40-day period of fasting that emulated the 40 days Jesus fasted in the desert. The word quarantine, explains Merriam-Webster Editor-at-Large Peter Sokolowski, originally referred to a period of 40 days. Quarantine / self-quarantine / isolation / cordon sanitaire The pan in pandemic is the same one in pandemonium, a description of uproar that originally referred to the place where all demons dwelled and Pangea, the vast supercontinent, comprising all the land on Earth, that is thought to have once existed. The prefix pan- suggests the whole of the universe or mankind. Such a decision can hinge on many factors, like whether the disease is spreading in additional places only because travelers had been to the site of the initial outbreak, as well as concerns about terminology causing markets and hopes to sink. On March 11, the World Health Organization officially declared that a pandemic was underway, noting “alarming levels of spread and severity.” The WHO had resisted using that word even as outbreaks were reported in scores of countries. When does something officially become “worldwide”? There’s no absolute answer. A pandemic is an epidemic that has become a worldwide phenomenon. When there are enough outbreaks, in places beyond that initial spot, that amounts to an epidemic. Per Merriam-Webster, an outbreak is “a sudden rise in the incidence of a disease,” which is usually confined to one area or group of people.

Traveling about day in, day out. By bringing the alienation theme, Kafka offers his views on the troubles of the Modern Age. The transformation only amplified Gregor’s separation from the world. To sum up all of the above, in the greater context, Gregor’s character has always been condemned to be lonely, as Kafka made sure of that. In the end, Gregor’s remains are thrown out like some trash by the charwoman. Nevertheless, in the last chapter, Gregor realizes that he does not miss anyone from the outside world. Returning to the book, throughout most of the story, Gregor still cares for his family and wishes to help them. Pragmatism and efficiency took over spiritualism. This type of alienation has been consistent since the beginning of the Modern Age, when capitalist ideas started to influence people’s minds and hearts. Gregor’s altruism played a twisted joke on him, making the poor soul a simple “ money bag” for the Samsas. Moreover, Gregor was doomed with emotional isolation from the start, as his family members always took his existence for granted. This type of correspondence takes a greater amount of time to reach its addressee than modern-day instant texting and calling through the mobile network. As Kafka mentions in The Metamorphosis, the only contact between Gregor and his family occurred through letters. ![]() The reader has to imagine how hard it was to travel and work in the past with limited means of communication. ![]() It restrained him from having any close relationships outside of his family circle.Įven nowadays, people who travel a lot due to the nature of their jobs experience general feelings of loneliness and, sometimes, even depression. He worked as a traveling salesman, a job synonymous with constant moving and personal isolation. Gregor Samsa was lonely and desperate before the events of the book. The irony of Gregor’s alienation in Metamorphosis stretches way beyond his initial transformation and its consequences. Yet, there is a reason why Franz Kafka is considered a genius of psychological literature. This mutism constrained Gregor from communicating not only with his family but with the whole of humankind. Despite his metamorphosis, he remained conscious but couldn’t explain all his emotional and psychological conflicts, which added to his loneliness and desperation. The inability to communicate heavily impacted Gregor’s relationship with his parents and his sister Grete in particular as she tried to understand him the most. Slowly but surely, the family grew tired of this new version of Gregor. His new routine came to staying in his room day and night, where he explored his condition, contemplated anxieties, and occasionally watched his family through a crack in the bedroom door. ![]() He lost his ability to speak the human language, making screeching sounds instead. He gained a new body, which made him an alien to the human world. The literal isolation started when Gregor woke up one morning only to find himself turned into a monstrous vermin-like creature. Among them, the theme of alienation and isolation plays a significant role in the novel. The Metamorphosis themes are undoubtedly worthy of a separate discussion. |
