![]() Here we see water flowing from an upper reservoir and discharging into a lower one. I think it is reasonable to expect that both cohesion and a partial vacuum play a role. This sounds reasonable, but there is quite a bit of debate as to the effect the cohesive forces of the liquid molecules have on maintaining flow. That partial vacuum allows atmospheric pressure to initiate flow through the upper leg. The traditional explanation of a siphon states that the flow in the down leg, due to gravity, creates a partial vacuum in the upper most portion of the conduit. If you were to evacuate all of the air in the tube, the level inside would rise to a level equal to the atmospheric pressure pressing down on the surface of the container. If you submerge the end of a long tube in a container of water, the water within the tube will rise to a level equal to its surface level in the container. Gravity obviously causes a liquid to flow through the down leg, but what causes it to navigate the up leg? One of the key phrases in this definition is "continuous flow" - this separates the true siphon from the siphon effect that may occur in a piping system.Īlthough the siphon appears quite simple, there is still some debate as to how it actually operates. I define a "true" siphon as a tube or pipe through which a liquid can be moved from a higher to a lower level by atmospheric pressure forcing it up the shorter (or up) leg while the weight of the liquid in the longer (or down) leg causes continuous downward flow. The Pump Handbook provides a couple: one explains it as "a pipe or other closed conduit that rises and falls," while a more specific definition refers to "a jet pump that utilizes a condensable vapor as a motive fluid." Both can be examples of the siphon effect, but neither describes exactly how I was able to transfer gasoline from my dad's car to our lawnmower (and my mouth). There are several definitions of a siphon. ![]() ![]() It’s also possible to resize, organize, and manage your windows.

The migration tool should bring over search locations as these were set up in HoudahSpot 3. search ~/Library/Mail even though you have excluded the rest of ~/Library. HoudahSpot 4 now lets you include folders even when these are nested in an exlcuded lcoation. Search locations work differently in HoudahSpot 4 than they did in HoudahSpot 3. I see how the migration tool can be improved here. These can be saved as templates using HoudahSpot 4. The migration tool creates HoudahSpot 4 saved searches. I am sorry to hear the migration was not as seamless as it should have been. ![]() And making this tool easier to find would tip potential upgrade customers to the fact that they're about to get jerked around. Very convenient and profitable for programmers- what else matters? And that "migration tool"? Lame and half-baked. Equally inconceivable that engineers at houdah would not anticipate this level of customer dissatisfaction. It is inconceivable that such a major incompatibility in the new version would not inconvenience and anger customers upon its discovery after paying for the upgrade. Nothing can done, completely unavoidable, right? Would have been completely impossible to include, in houdahspot 4, the capability to convert existing templates and place them in the new Templates folder in a state usable by houdahspot 4. And you have inflicted a major inconvenience on your loyal customers by rendering existing templates unusable by version 4. The reason people use houdahspot is because the Spotlight interface is so uselessly inconvenient. ![]() And these "converted" templates, they preserved all the original search locations, right? Uh, well, no. And since I don't like tabs, it was a snap to just click a preference or something so they all open in separate windows, right? So wrong. Turns out every single one of these "converted" houdahspot 3 templates had to be converted again before being displayed in the "Templates" drop-down, one at a time. I clicked the "Templates" in the menu bar- no templates, no joy. And now my converted templates are available and ready to use, right? So wrong. So, used the migration tool, placing "converted" files into the ~/Library/Application Support/4/Templates. Would have been nice if it was a little easier to find. Went to the forums, and after some digging found the "migration tool". Wow! Had so much fun with my old templates. ![]() Your employer isn’t a close friend, family member or therapist, so be selective and careful about what you say and how it’s phrased. It is sensitive information that you’re sharing. But, of course, if you feel it’s in your interest to be specific, then do so.īeyond Blue has also released a document which highlights that speaking up about mental health is an individual experience. You’re not under any obligation to reveal the details of your mental suffering. If you do decide to tell your manager about a mental health condition, you should do so in whatever way you feel comfortable. You might feel that your mental health issues are too personal it might not actually affect your performance you’re not sure if the information will stay confidential you’re worried about being judged you think it could affect your career prospects or you don’t actually need support at work, since your support network outside work is strong enough. In addition, opening up could help stop office gossip spreading, prevent disciplinary action, improve your work schedule and even encourage other colleagues to speak out.īut there are times when it might not be worth it. The Australian mental health charity Heads Up has created a useful list of pros and cons when it comes to speaking up about mental health at work.įor instance, if you feel that your employer will be supportive, then it could make a world of difference to your wellbeing if you’re honest about how your mental health is affecting your performance at work. So it’s important to know when, how and why to open up to your employer about your mental health.Ĭertain factors need to be taken into account before deciding whether you want to tell your line manager about depression or anxiety impacting your work. It also doesn’t benefit the employer in any way – since it’s kind of difficult to go into work and be productive when depression is zapping your energy and motivation. Suffering in silence worsens the mental health problem for the employee. Mixed anxiety and depression is responsible for one fifth of days lost from work. ![]() On top of the struggles involved with these conditions there is the shame and embarrassment we feel about discussing it with others and seeking help. Mixed anxiety and depression is the most common mental health problem in the UK, with 7.8% meeting the criteria for diagnosis. This is in spite of the fact that 1 in 4 people will suffer from a mental health issue at some point in their life. A survey has found that nearly half (49%) of us in the UK don’t feel comfortable when it comes to talking to our employer about mental health issues, including depression, anxiety and bipolar disorder. ![]() If you use Tab Groups, you can now customize a Start Page for each and every one, allowing for different favorites, wallpapers, frequently visited sites, and more.

Investors during three rounds of fund raising leading up to the end of 2013 included Draper Associates, Bessemer Venture Partners and Thrive Capital. Twitch has been supported by significant investments of venture capital, with US$15 million in 2012 (on top of US$7 million originally raised for ), and US$20 million in 2013. The company was headquartered in San Francisco's Financial District. Twitch had about 80 employees in June 2013, which increased to 100 by December 2013. Since then, Twitch has attracted more than 35 million unique visitors a month. It launched officially in public beta on June 6, 2011. In June 2011, : 40 the company decided to spin off the gaming content as TwitchTV, inspired by the term twitch gameplay. The gaming category grew especially fast, and became the most popular content on the site. When was launched in 2007 by Justin Kan and Emmett Shear, the site was divided into several content categories. History Founding and initial growth (2007–2013) 1.2 Growth, YouTube acquisition speculation (2014).As of May 2018, Twitch had over 27,000 partner channels. As of February 2020, it had 3 million broadcasters monthly and 15 million daily active users, with 1.4 million average concurrent users. In 2017, Twitch remained the leading live streaming video service for video games in the US, and had an advantage over YouTube Gaming, which shut down its standalone app in May 2019. Twitch acquired Curse in 2016, an operator of online video gaming communities and introduced means to purchase games through links on streams along with a program allowing streamers to receive commissions on the sales of games that they play.īy 2015, Twitch had more than 100 million viewers per month. That month, the service was acquired by Amazon for US$970 million, which later led to the introduction of synergies with the company's subscription service Amazon Prime. ![]() At the same time, 's parent company was re-branded as Twitch Interactive to represent the shift in focus – was shut down in August 2014. In October 2013, the website had 45 million unique viewers, and by February 2014, it was considered the fourth-largest source of peak Internet traffic in the United States. The popularity of Twitch eclipsed that of its general-interest counterpart. Content on the site can be viewed either live or via video on demand. It was introduced in June 2011 as a spin-off of the general-interest streaming platform. It is operated by Twitch Interactive, a subsidiary of, Inc.

There’s also a setting for the secret chat mode that ensures the message will delete itself after a certain time. In what are known as secret chats, Telegram offers an end-to-end encryption, which ensures that only the sender and the recipient can read a message. The developers offer two different forms of encryption for users: for all private and group chats, there’s a server-client encryption, which encrypts messages on the way from sender to server and from server to recipient. Telegram is considered a very secure application. WhatsApp, on the other hand, puts limits on the amount of data and file size that you can receive and send, based on the capacity of your device – usually a smartphone. A further advantage is the limitless, large-scale file sharing. Their WhatsApp alternative has been developed even further: the service is cloud-based, meaning that Telegram users can access their messages and content on a variety of mobile devices as well as on their computer. Telegram is a company run by the Russian brothers Pavel and Nikolai Durov, famous for founding the Russian alternative to Facebook, VKontakte. The advantage is that the chance of the backup landing in the wrong hands is a lot slimmer. This means it is possible to back up content manually to another device, but this takes significantly longer and requires much more effort than a typical backup. Threema allow the export of chats on all operating systems, Signal only offers an export function for Android. And while some of the alternatives to WhatsApp we’ve discussed i.e. The only thing the app can store is whether someone uses the service.įor security reasons, Signal offers no backup function, unlike many other apps like WhatsApp. ![]() Signal hardly stores any metadata, especially no information about who communicates with whom. ![]() In contrast, users are required to share their contact list with Signal when they sign up. Both private and group chats are secured with end-to-end encryption, and telephone numbers are transmitted anonymously (“hashed”) to the server. Open Whisper Systems is financed entirely by scholarship grants and donations, so it doesn’t rely on any advertising.Īs might be expected from the developers of the most famous encryption technology available for messengers, security is at the forefront of everything Signal does. Edward Snowden uses Signal, and the team around cryptographer Moxie Marlinspike, the founder of Open Whisper Systems, enjoys an excellent reputation among IT security experts. The Signal creators’ Open Whisper Systems have delivered end-to-end encryption software with open source code and have been used by WhatsApp, Telegram, and more, to develop their own encryption. This could be displayed either within the conversation window, or the conversation list.Signal is, like most alternatives to WhatsApp, relatively unknown, and its developers even more so. Basically, if Messages sees that a contact’s information contains a birthday, it would remind you, perhaps with an animated banner, to “Wish them a Happy Birthday!”. The report suggests that Google Messages would receive the SMS messages from the iPhone as normal, but would recognize when a reaction is being sent from iMessage and would apply an emoji reaction to the corresponding message.Īdditionally, another string of text suggests Google Messages may remind you of a contact’s birthday. ![]() ![]() In the newest beta version of Google Messages 10.7, the following code was found: ios_reaction_classification iMessage users can send ‘reactions’ to text messages, but if a reaction is sent to an Android user, the user receives a text message back that simply says “Liked ‘I am doing great!’”. If an iPhone user sends a message to a phone number that’s on Android, the conversation will be carried on the SMS protocol since iOS doesn’t support RCS and iMessage isn’t supported on Android. As per the outlet’s “APK Insight”, code has been found in the most recent version of Google Messages that would show iMessage ‘reactions’ as emoji’s within Google Messages. Android users will now receive iMessage reactions to text messages as a simple emoji.Īccording to a new report from 9to5Google, Google Messages may be receiving an update that will slightly enhance the messaging experience on the Android end. It may be a server-side change that enables it. The feature isn't immediately available to all users on the beta just yet.
