![]() ![]() WhatsApp is owned by Facebook, whose business model is based on advertising. The major difference is how each app is funded. However, the company has introduced pin codes in the hope of moving to a more secure and private way of identifying users in the future.Īs well as being end-to-end encrypted, both WhatsApp and Signal have a “disappearing messages” feature for additional privacy. ![]() Like WhatsApp, Signal uses your phone number as your identity, something that has concerned some privacy and security advocates. Signal has a desktop app, and you can voice and video chat with up to eight people. Signal is privacy focused and has no desire to analyse, share or profit from users’ private information You can set up and name groups, and it’s easy to send a message: just bring up the pen sign in the right-hand corner. Yes, Signal has most of the features you are used to on WhatsApp, such as stickers and emojis. Signal is end-to-end encrypted, collects less data than Telegram and stores messages on your device rather than in the cloud.ĭoes Signal have all the features I am used to and why is it more private? Crucially, Telegram is not end-to-end encrypted by default, instead storing your data in the cloud. Signal benefits from being the most similar to WhatsApp in terms of features, while Telegram has had problems as a secure and private messaging app, with its live location feature recently coming under fire for privacy infringements. Another messaging app, Telegram, has also experienced an uptick in downloads, but Signal has been topping the charts on the Apple and Android app stores. Signal, a secure messaging app recommended by authorities such as the Electronic Frontier Foundation and Edward Snowden, has been the main beneficiary of the WhatsApp exodus. Why are people choosing Signal over Telegram? This appears to have stalled owing to technical and regulatory difficulties around encryption, but it’s still the long-term plan. Yet only a few years later, Facebook announced aims to integrate the messaging systems of Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp. When Facebook bought WhatsApp in 2014, it pledged to keep the two services separate. “The more data they profile, the more they put people in vulnerable positions at risk.”Īnd the social network isn’t known for keeping promises. ![]() She cites the example of Facebook’s “people you may know” algorithm exposing sex workers’ real names to their clients – despite both parties taking care to set up fake identities. Its practices can put vulnerable people at risk, says Emily Overton, a data protection expert and managing director of RMGirl. This can be shared with “Facebook companies”.įacebook’s highly criticised data collection ethos has eroded trust in the social network. The messaging app doesn’t gather the content of your chats, but it does collect the metadata attached to them – such as the sender, the time a message was sent and who it was sent to. WhatsApp has stated that in the UK and EU the update does not share further data with Facebook – because of strict privacy regulation, known as the general update to data protection regulation (GDPR). WhatsApp does share some data with Facebook, including phone numbers and profile name, but this has been happening for years. The more data they profile, the more they put people in vulnerable positions at risk The BBC reported that Signal was downloaded 246,000 times worldwide in the week before WhatsApp announced the change on 4 January, and 8.8m times the week after. The bungled communication attempts have raised awareness that WhatsApp does collect a lot of data, and some of this could be shared with Facebook.

But let's not split hairs and start quoting Steve Albini on why record companies are the scum of the earth. And with absolutely nothing to do with the fact that, with two CDs selling at ã12, the nice capitalists at the record company are raking in a lot more than the ã15 or whatever it is, that one double CD would sell for. Hypnotize is the second half of the band's double album that was released separately, because, apparently, attention spans are not what they used to be. They have, somehow, managed neither to ever lose credibility nor to isolate the common, layman who doesn't really care that 4,000 hungry children die from starvation every hour. System of a Down have become what Rage Against the Machine never quite managed to - a deeply political band, left-of-center, but also accepted and loved by the mainstream. I could go on like this, but there's an album to be reviewed and, let's be honest, with System of a Down, the review will probably contain enough anti-American sentiment without my incoherent and pleonastic ramblings. Ergo, you have no right, at all, to start pissing about with a language that isn't yours to piss about with. We are, quite literally, your superiors in every way. America was born from the remnants of a British people who couldn't make it here for whatever reason. And yes, I did say "zed," none of that "zee" crap either. I'm sorry to any Americans out there who like to get involved with this whole using a "zed" instead of an "ess" thing, but they can't.

In this case, data containing information necessary for broadcasting is transmitted along with the file. The format allows for streaming over the Internet. Usually the built-in video player is enough to open it, but users often resort to additional software. The most popular media format these days is MP4. In fact, MP4 is a technical specification, the requirements for which are established in the international standard ISO 14496-1. The MP4 format is an add-on plug-in to MPEG4, which is a standard for storing encoded multimedia content (sound files, video content, etc.). The MP4 format is widely used for video transmission over the Internet and distribution of mobile media content. Typically, a file with this extension is a video, movie, or other video. MP4 file can contain video, audio, graphics and subtitles. Typically, each operating system or software has its own formats, but some of them, such as MP4, are universal, making them much easier to distribute and use. While most of us only watch videos or movies almost every day, few are interested in formats. Therefore, sometimes the question may arise which MKV player should be used to view these files. The format is not as widespread as MP4 and AVI. It is popular for its high quality and relatively small size. It is intended to be used as a universal storage format for common multimedia content such as movies or TV shows. Matroska Multimedia Container is an open standard free container format, a file format that can contain an unlimited number of video, audio, images or subtitles in a single file. MKV has earned a good reputation due to its resistance to various bugs and errors and the possibility of emergency recovery of files, even if damaged. The format is open source, which means anyone can use it and make changes. It supports such formats as: mkv - responsible for video files, mks - responsible for subtitles and mka - sound. MKV is a multimedia container that combines in one file: video, sound, subtitles, pictures, various service information, and most importantly, the possibility of creating a media menu in the MKV container is declared. The MKV format is an open source project by Matroska designed to create a unified standard for multimedia containers on the PC. ![]() MKV is a special AVI-like audio / video container that stores a huge amount of information. Below you can find out some details about the original and new file formats. In any case, with the help of our converter, you can easily complete the required task. Perhaps you just need to extract the audio track from the video file, in which case converting the video to audio format is a good option. Also, conversion is often required to reduce the file size, since the original format takes up too much space in the device's memory. So, for example, you may want to convert MKV to MP4 if your computer, phone or other device does not support MKV format. To accomplish this, download the Combined Community Codec Pack (CCCP) from a trusted site, such as Ninite.Converting one file format to another may be necessary for various reasons. Therefore, another option for opening an MKV file is to download the appropriate codecs that are compatible with the selected media player. This is important because MKV is not an industry standard, which means that other media players might not support it.Īdditionally, MKV does not use codecs to compress file size, which means the file can be quite large. This media player is compatible with all operating systems and platforms. The best way to open an MKV file is to use VLC media player. The name derives from “ Matryoshka” dolls, which is a famous type of Russian handicraft that consists of a set of wooden dolls of decreasing size nested one inside another. Since it is open source, a user can customize it with open-source software. ![]() Matroska (MKV) is a free, open-source, container standard that can hold an unlimited amount of audiovisual and multimedia files in a single file format. To resolve this issue, try VLC media player.ĭeveloped by: Moving Picture Experts Group (MPEG) MP4 is a container that contains various kinds of data, so when there is a problem opening the file, it usually means that data in the container (an audio or video codec) is not compatible with the device’s OS. On some devices, particularly mobile, opening this file type can be problematic. On Windows, it opens in Windows Media Player. There is no need for third-party software. Simply double-clicking the file opens it. MP4 files open in the operating system's default video player. Many consider MP4 to be one of the best video formats available today. It is also a popular video format for streaming over the Internet, such as on YouTube. It is compatible with a wide range of devices and operating systems, using a codec to compress file size, resulting in a file that is easy to manage and store. MPEG-4 (MP4) is a container video format that can store multimedia data, usually audio and video. ![]() It’s so many things that you can explore. ![]() That’s why I take her on and I actually look after her. This is a mother-daughter kind of relationship or a sister or someone you’re close to, someone you can relate to, someone that you can see. I know it is a love story between Kim and Chris but it can also be a love story between The Engineer and Kim. We are just creating a new narrative with a different perspective in the context of, say, sisterhood and women empowerment. Q: So, did you and the co-directors, Robert Hastie, and Anthony Lau, come up with the backstory of the female The Engineer? Is her story the same as that of the male The Engineer? So yeah, I just can’t wait for people to see it. So, I get to sing all those wonderful numbers and give my own take and my stamp. ![]() And “Bangkok” (“What a Waste”) is so much fun. And “If You Want to Die in Bed” as well, that’s another one. So, it’s just nice to be able to delve into the most profound parts of the songs. We always think that “The American Dream” is such a fun number.īut there’s so much in that song that you can explore, like the emotional side of it because you’re talking about her dreams, her innermost dreams or precious dreams, and that is a big deal. Now, I understand why so many people love this role.īut of course, being a woman, you explore the vulnerability of songs such as “The American Dream,” of all songs. Oh my gosh, I feel like I’m in a playground. Q: Now that you’re in rehearsals, how does it feel to be playing The Engineer instead of Kim? And then it started sinking into my head that, okay, I’m going to be playing this. I started writing things down already as soon as I was offered the role, all the ideas running through my head. I don’t think that’s going to work or this is going to work. So I was walking aimlessly around London thinking, okay, I was going through the script of Miss Saigon and trying to remember the lines of The Engineer, and then I’m thinking, okay, this is going to happen and this is not possible. All those things are going to happen, so don’t worry. And yes, there’s going to be a key change. So, they said, yes, Cameron is happily involved in some bits here because he needs to approve certain things. And all these ideas are running through my head, like how is that going to be? How’s that going to happen? How’s that possible? They’re going to have to change so many things, the keys of the songs, some of the lyrics, for sure. He said, “It’s for the role of The Engineer.” And for a second, I was quiet because I really didn’t know how to react. When I saw him, I was like, “So what’s the big show?” And he was like, “Well, we’re thinking of casting you for Miss Saigon.” And I was really perplexed because I was like, “Are you going to have a mother there? Or I don’t know what character I’m going to play. So, the meeting happened and I met up with Anthony Lau, who’s the associate artistic director of Sheffield Theatres. They said they wanted to see me for a big show and they’d like to discuss it with me. The following are excerpts from our video conversation. The full cast includes Jessica Lee (Kim and alternate Mimi), Desmonda Cathabel (Mimi and alternate Kim), Aynrand Ferrer (Gigi), Shanay Holmes (Ellen), Ethan Le Phong (Thuy), Christian Maynard (Chris), Emily Ooi (Yvonne and understudy Gigi), Shane O’Riordan (John), and Ericka Posadas (Fifi and understudy The Engineer). Jo leads the cast, several of whom are her fellow Filipinos. When Jo revealed the details of her take on the female The Engineer to me, this restaging of Miss Saigon sounded even more exciting than I thought. Just last month, she finished being part of a successful South Korean tour of Cats where she played the plum part, Grizabella. The Manila-born actress also memorably played Candida opposite Rachel Alejandro’s Paula in Ang Larawan, Loy Arcenas’ film adaptation of the stage musical by Ryan Cayabyab and Rolando Tinio, which was also adapted from Nick Joaquin’s play, A Portrait of the Artist as Filipino. It’s yet another feat in Jo’s international career, which, aside from her Kim performances in the London, Sydney, United Kingdom touring, and 10th anniversary productions, features a long list of stage credits, including West End productions of South Pacific and Jesus Christ Superstar. Here, Mary Eliza Mahoney finished her career, helping people and using her knowledge however she knew best. This institution was run by African Americans. The asylum served as a home for freed colored children and the colored elderly. Being an African American, in a predominantly white society, she often experienced discrimination as an African American woman.įrom 1911 to 1912, Mahoney served as director of the Howard Colored Orphan Asylum for black children in Kings Park, Long Island, New York. Mahoney wanted to abolish any discrimination in the nursing field. One of many goals that Mahoney had hoped of achieving, was to change the way patients and families thought of minority nurses. ![]() ![]() As Mahoney’s reputation quickly spread, Mahoney received private-duty nursing requests from patients in states in the north and south east coast. Mahoney was known for her skills and preparedness. Mahoney’s professionalism helped raise the status and standards of all nurses, especially minorities. ![]() Majority of her work with new mothers and newborns had been done in New Jersey, with the occasional travel to other states.įamilies who employed Mahoney praised her efficiency in her nursing profession. She worked for predominantly white, wealthy families. Mary Elizabeth Mahoney, (1845-1926) was the first African American to graduate from the nursing school at New England Hospital for Women & Children in 1879 at the age of 34.Īccording to Wikipedia, “After receiving her nursing diploma, Mahoney worked for many years as a private care nurse, earning a distinguished reputation.
