  <p>The health news is convulsed by the recent outbreak of the Wuhan Virus, a coronavirus that jumped humans from bats and that <strong>has China and the international community on alert</strong>. In fact, in the Chinese country, entire cities have been isolated from millions of inhabitants for fear that the Wuhan virus will become an epidemic. And with all this apocalyptic panorama, many have seen in a couple of games a remarkable similarity.</p>
  <p>Plague Inc. <a href="https://opjee.com/aa-essentials-for-mobile-gamers" target="_blank">Opjee</a> is a famous game of epidemics in which <strong>pests</strong> must <strong>spread throughout the world and end humanity</strong>. What initially serves as a pretext to entertain, contains too many similarities with what is happening in China; That is why the explosion of downloads and ratings that Plague Inc. is having in the Asian country is so curious, as well as the repercussion of another similar game by the same developers: Rebel Inc</p>
  <p> As it is said, sometimes reality surpasses fiction.</p>
  <h2>Pest games go viral in China</h2>
  <p>The alert level is highest in the country, the authorities are imposing all their weapons to not only contain the contagion of the coronavirus but also to <strong>suppress alarmist news as much as possible</strong>.</p>
  <p>And a large number of citizens use humor on social media to dilute concerns, they have also made the downloads of games related to pests viral. This is the case of the aforementioned Plague Inc., also of its brother Rebel Inc.</p>
  <p>As Sensor Tower demonstrates in the App Store rating record in China, there has been a huge impact on ratings of the most popular pest game in mobile stores in recent days: <strong>growth has been overwhelming</strong>, just like Rebel&#x27;s Inc.</p>
  <p>It is logical that there is a greater interest in games whose subject matter abounds today, but that a title as catastrophic as Plague Inc. goes viral during a health alarm is, above all, ironic. And it is that <strong>Plague Inc. poses precisely the scenario that you want to avoid</strong>: the outbreak of an infection caused by a pathogen that ends up spreading to the rest of the world.</p>
  <p>Health-related apps have gained a notable presence in Chinese app stores.</p>
  <p>For example, in the Xiaomi store, a health app is in first position, also in other similar stores, the <strong>country&#x27;s concern about the health alarm </strong>is appreciated.</p>
  <p>Hopefully what happens in the games of the famous Plague Inc. does not end up happening.</p>

  <p>Poogle Baba</p>
  <p>One of the advantages of the Android operating system is a large number of applications available for our device in the official <strong>Google Play Store</strong>, although we can also find other alternative stores with applications and games for the Google system. There are many apps and games that we can get completely free, however, many others we can get by paying. If you have inadvertently bought something, it is not what you expected or someone has done it for us from our mobile, then surely you are interested in knowing how to cancel the said purchase. Next, <a href="https://opjee.com/refunded-on-purchases-made-from-google-play-store" target="_blank">Opjee.com</a> going to show you how to request a refund or cancel a purchase on Google Play.</p>
  <figure class="m_column">
    <img src="https://teletype.in/files/00/f0/00f0c5e7-08a2-4d96-8113-e4270d88da77.png" width="1029" />
  </figure>
  <p>First of all it is important to know Google&#x27;s refund policy since they are different depending on the item we have purchased. In general, the search engine giant does not usually grant a refund for purchases on Google Play, however, there are certain exceptions in which we may request the cancellation of the purchase and its refund.</p>
  <h2>Google Play refund policies</h2>
  <h3>Apps, games and in-app purchases (including subscriptions)</h3>
  <p>In the event that we want to cancel the purchase of an application or game, if it has been less than 48 hours since we made the purchase and according to the details of the same, it is possible that Google will grant us a refund without problems. However, if the request to cancel the purchase is made after 48 hours from the purchase, then we will have to contact the developer and process the refund options, since each developer may have their own policies.</p>
  <h3>Google Play Movies</h3>
  <p>If we have not started watching the video yet, we can request a refund within 7 days of purchase without any problem. But if the video or movie is defective, we have bought it and then it is not available or it does not stop looking correctly, we have up to 65 days to cancel the purchase on Google Play and request a refund.</p>
  <h3>Google Play Music</h3>
  <p>We may have purchased music on Google Play and found that it does not play. Depending on the case, we may be able to return an album or song within a maximum period of 7 days. Of course, as long as we have not downloaded or reproduced, since in this case we can only cancel a purchase on Google Play of music if the content does not work.</p>
  <h3>books</h3>
  <p>Another thing that we can buy in the Google app store are electronic books or audiobooks. If we want to cancel a purchase on Google Play of an electronic book, we have up to 7 days to do so from the date of purchase. Of course, except in the case of book rentals that are considered definitive sales. Of course, if for any reason the book does not load or does not reproduce, then we can request a refund on Google Play within 65 days of purchase.</p>
  <h3>Refund from Google Play Kiosk</h3>
  <p>In this case we must differentiate between the individual numbers of magazines and the subscriptions. In the first case, we will only be able to cancel a purchase of a single issue of the magazine if we cannot access the content. For its part, we will be able to cancel a subscription at any time if we cannot access the content. Of course, if we cancel a subscription in the first seven days of the monthly subscription, we may request a refund of the cost of the month of cancellation.</p>
  <h3>Purchases made with the Google Assistant</h3>
  <p>Although in this case Google does not usually offer refunds on purchases made with the Google Assistant, there are certain exceptions. If the request to cancel a purchase on Google Play is made within a maximum period of 48 hours, depending on the details of each purchase, it is possible that the search engine giant will grant us a refund.</p>
  <p>After that period, we must contact the developer directly to manage the return and know the return policy of the same.</p>
  <h3>Gift cards, Google balance and Google Play gifts</h3>
  <figure class="m_column">
    <img src="https://teletype.in/files/05/20/052007d0-6e33-40f0-a1d5-89b4a0101f21.png" width="1007" />
  </figure>
  <p>Gift cards and other types of prepaid balance from Google Play, including cash top-ups, cannot be refunded unless required by the law of the country where the purchase was made. The promotional balance is something that Google will not reimburse us for.</p>
  <p>If what we want to return is a gift, we must inform the buyer to contact Google to cancel a purchase on Google Play and request a refund. Of course, keep in mind that the amount will only be returned to the person who made the purchase, never to the person who received the gift.</p>
  <p>Google will only refund the amount of gifts that have not yet been redeemed and it is also important to know that the gift code cannot be redeemed after the refund and that the refund of the gifts can only be requested during the three months after the date shopping.</p>
  <h2>How to cancel a purchase on Google Play and request a refund</h2>
  <p>If the product that we have bought in the Google store does not work or is not what we thought and we want to return it, we have two ways to request a refund, by contacting the developer of the application so that it is he who makes the return or request a refund on the Google Play site.</p>
  <p>The great popularity of Google&#x27;s operating system for mobile devices has always aroused great interest in application developers. This means that the vast majority of apps that we can find in the Play Store have been developed by external developers.</p>
  <p>In this case, we must contact the developer of the same if we find that an application we have purchased does not work or we do not receive it. If we want to cancel a purchase in the Google Play Store, but it <strong>has been more than 48 hours</strong> since we made the purchase, then it is the developer who will have to tell us how to do it according to their own return policy.</p>

  <p>Macro lenses allow very small subjects to be accurately photographed, showing the subject in detail and clarity, be it a plant, an insect or a small object, and capturing details that normally go unnoticed by our eyes.</p>
  <figure class="m_column">
    <img src="https://teletype.in/files/3d/7c/3d7c86a0-779d-44e0-9f83-1448ae48bdaa.png" width="867" />
  </figure>
  <p>We can do it with the comfort with optics like this Sigma DG Macro HSM, one of the objectives analyzed by our experts.</p>
  <p>Macro photography lenses have the ability to shoot at a 1: 1 scale, that is, they can reproduce an object in real size  (the object photographed has the same size in real life as in the reproduction of the sensor), since <a href="https://opjee.com/canon-lenses-for-dslr-camera" target="_blank">Opjee.com</a> the closeness of the optics to the camera, they occupy a large space in the sensor offering complete and detailed information on the subject.</p>
  <p>Some lenses offer larger magnifications in scale, of 1: 5, for example, which means that the photographed subject is five times larger on the sensor than in real life. So we are talking about microscopic photography.</p>
  <p>In addition, to use for macro photography, these lenses are perfect for portrait photography due to the construction of their lenses, offering great quality and sharpness in your images.</p>
  <h2>To consider</h2>
  <p>We must take into account some considerations when choosing a good macro lens:</p>
  <p><strong>The actual aspect ratio</strong> of a subject and the size it occupies on the sensor is 1: 1. So if we talk about a higher aspect ratio (1: 5, for example), the lens can further increase the size of the photographed object.</p>
  <p><strong>Minimum focus distance</strong>. Keep in mind that these lenses must get close enough to the subjects to be photographed, so if we want to photograph small insects or animals, or the light source is very close, obtaining a perfect image can be a laborious task. Therefore, it is very important to know the minimum focus distance of our lens to know how far we must be to photograph correctly.</p>
  <p><strong>Focal length and focal length</strong>. Each optic has a different focal length. If we want to photograph small subjects, it is important to know what focal point we have, since it will help us (or not) to zoom in or out of the scene in order to photograph correctly. In this way, for 50mm macro lenses, we must be close to the subject, but for 180mm macro lenses we can comfortably photograph at a greater distance.</p>
  <p>On the other hand, the focal length will also change the background of our scene, zooming it in or out, thus changing the appearance of the image.</p>
  <p><strong>Image stabilizer</strong>. It is important to take this factor into account, since it will help us to correct the movements prior to shooting, offering clear and non-jittery images. The use of a tripod is always recommended, but sometimes it is complicated (especially if the subject moves).</p>
  <p><strong>Crop factor</strong>. We must not forget that if we do not have a camera with a full-size sensor (full-frame), we must apply a multiplying factor to the lens to know exactly which focal point we are working on.</p>
  <p>These are our chosen objectives for macro photography:</p>
  <h2>Firstly, Zhongyi 20mm f / 2 4.5X</h2>
  <figure class="m_column">
    <img src="https://teletype.in/files/a6/c4/a6c4d222-d18f-43f1-99a4-516e51d3a5bf.jpeg" width="1280" />
  </figure>
  <p>This economical 20mm macro lens. It can be mounted on Canon M, Canon EOS, Fuji X, Nikon, Pentax, Sony A, Sony Nex, and Micro 4/3 devices.</p>
  <p>It allows up to 4.5X magnification and is light, compact and robust. It offers the only focus option in manual mode, although in this discipline we will rarely use autofocus.</p>
  <p>It has a minimum focus distance of approximately 3 cm. so we must be careful to be able to correctly illuminate the stage and avoid the appearance of shadows, and be very careful if we photograph animals since we will be very close to them when shooting.</p>
  <p>It is a fairly bright lens and has an aperture range of f: 2 to f: 16. As a weak point, we will indicate that it is not a lens that has a stabilizer, so we recommend its use with a tripod.</p>
  <p>This lens is quite small (62mm x 60mm) and light (weighing 240 grams). A perfect optic to start in the macro photography world with a good lens, and at an economical price.</p>
  <h2>In second position: Tokina 100mm f / 2.8 ATX M PRO D Macro</h2>
  <figure class="m_column">
    <img src="https://teletype.in/files/1f/5a/1f5a208c-6db4-4de3-b358-816d3c625e81.jpeg" width="2500" />
  </figure>
  <p>This powerful Tokina fixed lens offers a short 100mm telephoto lens, with a good aperture of f: 2.8, allowing us to photograph in difficult light conditions.</p>
  <p>It is offered for Nikon and can boast light. It has no built-in focus motor and is very smooth in manual mode. It allows a minimum focus distance of 0.30 meters.</p>
  <p>It does not have an image stabilizer and offers a very competitive quality if we also use it in portrait.</p>
  <p>This lens is somewhat heavy, weighing 570 grams, and is not excessively large, with dimensions of 7.3 x 7.3 x 9.51 cm.</p>
  <p>Its finish is robust and reliable, with good build quality. This optics is very competitive in terms of value for money.</p>
  <h2>Third: Samyang 100mm F2.8 ED UMC</h2>
  <figure class="m_column">
    <img src="https://teletype.in/files/c7/6c/c76c5b53-8605-4ef6-a465-12212381c319.jpeg" width="1280" />
  </figure>
  <p>This 100mm TV is compatible for Canon EF, Canon M, Fuji X, Micro 4/3, Nikon AE, Olympues 4/3, Pentax, Sony A, Samsung NX and Sony E cameras, and allows 1: 1 magnification with great precision.</p>
  <p>It has a minimum focus distance of 0.307m. and works in manual mode with smoothness and great precision.</p>
  <p>It offers an enviable optical quality, thanks to the construction of its lenses to avoid the refraction of light in the center of the image and corners. It is a perfect lens to also use as a telephoto lens in landscape or portrait.</p>
  <p>It is quite robust, but also heavy, with 735 grams.</p>
  <h2>In fourth position: Sigma DG Macro HSM</h2>
  <figure class="m_column">
    <img src="https://teletype.in/files/c9/60/c9607bff-fddd-482b-9769-074dcb59fa72.jpeg" width="480" />
  </figure>
  <p>This full telephoto lens is also quite bright, with an aperture of f: 2.8. It is offered for Canon cameras, although it is also available for Nikon, Sony and Sigma. It is perfect for taking 1: 1 macro shots.</p>
  <p>The construction of the lenses will help us avoid image dispersion, also correcting the chromatic and spherical aberration. The result will be sharp, contrasting, high-quality images.</p>
  <p>Allows focus in automatic and manual mode. And one point in its favor is that it has an image stabilizer, which will help us correct camera movements before shooting and the ability to shoot silently without a tripod.</p>
  <p>It has a minimum focus distance of 31 cm, which will help us to photograph in macro mode at a certain distance, allowing us to illuminate comfortably.</p>
  <p>A factor to take into account in this view is its weight: 1.13 kgs. So we should think of a tripod and a carry bag to carry it with us easily.</p>
  <h2>Fifth: Tamron A17E - Lens for Canon (70-300mm, f / 4-5.6, Macro, AF, 62mm)</h2>
  <figure class="m_column">
    <img src="https://teletype.in/files/80/c8/80c8cb63-8372-4fc4-9dd6-e489df8efa36.jpeg" width="750" />
  </figure>
  <p>This variable focus telephoto lens from Tamron allows us to shoot in a 70-300mm focal length with ease, as well as helping us to take pictures in macro mode.</p>
  <p>The weak point of this lens is that it is not very bright, with an aperture of f: 4 / 5.6. However, its strong point is above all the price. It is difficult to find cheaper optics, with this focal length and also macro.</p>
  <p>This optic is prepared for mounting on Canon equipment, although it is also offered for Nikon. The lens construction prevents dispersion and chromatic aberration.</p>
  <p>It allows a minimum focus distance of 0.95 meters, so we can comfortably photograph at a certain distance in macro mode. Well finished, reliable in construction, it is not too heavy, weighing 570 grams. In addition, it includes a parasol.</p>
