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?

Afternoon highs will return to the low 80s, more than 10° warmer than average.Austin is in the midst of its sixth-warmest start to March on recordOur first of two cold fronts will roll in late tomorrow night into Friday morning. Along and ahead of the front, scattered rain and storms are possible. Not everyone will get wet and those who do, aren't expected to see a whole lot (generally less than 0.25").We'll quickly transition back to the warmer and more humid weather this weekend as southerly winds waste no time returning to Central Texas.Cold front brings a brief pause on the 80s & humid conditions FridayThe second cold front is expected to lead to a more extended period of cooler, less humid weather -- more typical...US senators from both parties teaming up against Tiktok

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?

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.

Nyt on kulunut reilu vuosi yrityksen perustamisesta, ja joka päivä opin uutta yrittäjyydestä.Arvostus muita yrittäjiä kohtaan on noussut suuresti tänä aikana. Monella yrittäjällä on ollut rankkaa koronan seurauksena. Yrittäjyys on jatkuvaa työtä ilman lomia ja vapaa-aikaa. Pitää olla valmis vastaamaan sähköposteihin 24/7, tai muuten voi menettää projektin (kokemuksen syvällä rintaäänellä).Olin kyllä varautunut yrittäjyyden rankkuuteen, mutta varsinkin koronan tuoma erityistilanne korosti, kuinka paljon kovaa työtä yrittäminen vaatii.Vielä vuosi sitten visioni ei ollut keskittyä yksinomaan kielipalveluihin, mutta uusien asiakkaiden, tekemieni virheiden ja maailman tilanteen seuraksena yritystoimintani on kehittynyt vahvasti kielipalveluiden suuntaan.Yrittäjyys on ollut oppikoulu, ja nyt pikkuhiljaa alan saada siitä otteen. Olen erittäin kiitollinen kaikille asiakkailleni, jotka ovat uskaltaneet antaa minulle, uudelle yrittäjälle, mahdollisuuden näyttää kynteni.Toivon sitä samaa rohke...Näin laatia sisältömarkkinointisuunnitelma – helpot vinkit!

Sisältömarkkinointisuunnitelma auttaa yritystä fokusoimaan sisältöäänTässä viisi vinkkiä sisältömarkkinointisuunnitelman luomiseen:Tunne asiakkaasi!Eräs tärkeimmistä asioista sisältömarkkinointisuunnitelmaa laatiessa on tutkia tarkasti omaa kohdeasiakaskuntaansa. Kohdeasiakaskunta riippuu tietenkin tuotteesta tai palvelusta, mitä yritys myy. Jos yritys esimerkiksi myy trendikkäitä käsilaukkuja, on kohdeasiakkaina oletettavasti nuoremmat muodista kiinnostuneet naiset. Silloin sisältö pitää suunnitella nuorille muotitietoisille naisille kiinnostavaksi. Tuntemalla oman kohdeasiakaskuntansa on helpompi luoda heille sopivaa sisältöä ja valita oikeat kanavat, missä markkinoi...2020: What’s new at sulonorth?
