AUSTIN (KXAN) - Researchers with the University of Texas in Austin are making some exciting discoveries beneath the Earth's surface. A paper published in the journal Science last month revealed an unusual type of earthquake may be a result of rocks "healing.""If that healing is very small, then it doesn't take very long before you can build up enough stress, to break the rock again, to overcome that healing," said Demian Saffer, Director of the UT Institute for Geophysics and one of the lead writers of the paper.According to Saffer, healing occurs when rocks recover following an earthquake."The material actually like strengthens or like heals. And, so then when you slide again and actually takes like more force for you to get it to continue to slide," said Kaitlin Schaible, a Ph.D. student in Saffer's Geomechanics and Geofluids Lab.The lab created simulated earthquakes to discover how the rocks are influenced when the earth moves.Creating 'earthquakes' in a labInside the lab, a gian...Silver Alert discontinued for Austin man

AUSTIN (KXAN) -- March marks the beginning of spring migration for millions of birds, and Central Texas plays an important role in our feathered friends' journeys. Central Texas lies in the main corridor for migrating birds in the spring season, and there are ways in which we can make our homes less harmful and yards more helpful for these travelers.Meteorologist Kristen Currie spoke with the Executive Director of Travis Audubon, Nicole Netherton, to find out what to look for as we enter migration season and how we can help these birds safely make the trip.Below is a transcription of their interview. (Note: edits were made for clarity)Kristen Currie, KXAN News: Spring migration is here, which is an exciting time of the year. So let's dive into it. What are we seeing in our skies right now?

Along and ahead of the front, scattered rain and storms are possible.

WASHINGTON (Nexstar)-- Senators from both parties are teaming up against Tiktok.China, through their technology, is stealing Americans data, and South Dakota republican John Thune says the Chinese-owned social media app won't be the last similar threat to our national security.The Chinese Communist party has proven over the last few years that is willing to lie about just about everything. That likely won't end with Tiktok.On Tuesday, Thune and Virginia democrat Mark Warner introduced the "Restrict act," which would give the president and the secretary of commerce, the authority to prohibit any foreign technology posing a security risk.Warner said that includes software, hardware and social media platforms.It's genuinely risk-based.The senators say their bill is different from the one house republicans introduced last week, because it doesn't single out Tiktok. Opponents of that bill argued it would violate the First Amendment.The idea of having a rules-based process that identifies...Sisältömarkkinointi englanniksi – Milloin on aika panostaa englanninkieliseen sisältöön?
Published Thu, 21 Nov 2024 22:30:34 GMT
Pääsyy englanninkielisen sisällön tuottamiseen on yleensä yrityksen pyrkiminen kansainvälisille markkinoille. Tämä ei kuitenkaan ole ainoa syy, miksi sisältömarkkinointi englanniksi kannattaa. Suomi on enenevässä määrin kansainvälinen maa, ja täällä asuu paljon ihmisiä, jotka puhuvat hyvin vähän tai eivät lainkaan kaunista kotimaista kieltämme. Kääntämällä sivut englanniksi ja luomalla englanninkielistä sisältöä Suomessa asuville englannin kieltä puhuville, voit erottua joukosta. Lapinlahden hävikkikukkakaupan kyltit ovat suomeksi ja englanniksiEnglannin kielen merkitys näkyy vahvana myös etenkin pääkaupunkiseudun katukuvassa. Helsingin keskustan alueella ei voi kävellä pitkiä matkoja huomaamatta englanninkielistä katumarkkinointia. Minulla on englannin kielen tärkeydestä myös henkilökohtaista kokemusta, koska mieheni ei juurikaan puhu suomea, ja hän usein etsii englannin kielellä Googlesta paikallisia palveluita.
