Linguistic anthropology is the study of how language affects social life. It is a part of anthropology that started with the effort to record languages that might disappear and has grown over the last hundred years to cover most parts of how language is built and used. Linguistic anthropology looks at how language shapes how people talk, creates social identity and belonging, helps organize big cultural ideas and beliefs, and builds a shared way of seeing the natural and social world.
The mullets, also called grey mullets, are a family of fish with ray-shaped fins. They live in warm and cool waters near coasts all over the world, and some live in fresh water too. People in Mediterranean Europe have eaten mullets as food since Roman times. There are about 78 kinds of mullets in 26 groups. Mullets are easy to recognize because they have two separate fins on their backs, small triangle-shaped mouths, and no side-line organ. They eat small bits of dead plants and animals. Most mullets have very strong stomachs and a special throat to help them digest food. In recent years, "mullet" also came to be a slang word for a hairstyle that is short at the front and top, and long at the back. This slang word is said to have been started by Mike D of the Beastie Boys in 1995, and after 2000 was spread by a small group of people in San Francisco through the Internet. Behavior. Mullets often show a behavior where they jump out of the water. There are two types of jumps. One is a fast, straight jump to get away from enemies. The other is a slower jump, where the fish turns sideways and makes a big splash. The reason for the slower jump is not clear, but some think it helps the fish get air with more oxygen using a small organ above its throat. Development. The growth of young mullet fish has been studied a lot. The baby stages of one type, Mugil cephalus, are studied more because it lives in many places and is important for fish farming. In 2021, scientists looked closely at how the bones of this fish grow. They found four stages before hatching and six stages after. This study helped explain some unclear things about adult mullets and gave useful details for studying how mullets are related. It also helped fish farmers know how to spot problems when raising mullets.
Food engineering is a study and work field that uses ideas from engineering, science, and math to make and manage food. This includes how food is processed, produced, handled, stored, kept fresh, checked, packaged, and delivered. Because it uses food science and other types of engineering like electrical, mechanical, civil, chemical, industrial, and agricultural engineering, food engineering is a mix of many fields and is a small, focused area. Food materials are complex, so food engineering also uses ideas from chemistry and physics, like biochemistry, microbiology, food chemistry, heat, how things move, how substances flow, and how heat is transferred. Food engineers use this knowledge to design and make safe, healthy, tasty, and good-quality food that is affordable. They also create food machines and systems.

Thayer is best known for interviewing members of the Khmer Rouge, who were the leaders of Cambodia from 1975 to 1979. The Khmer Rouge caused the Cambodian genocide. Thayer is mostly known for his interview with Pol Pot, the dictator of Cambodia and leader of the Khmer Rouge. Thayer had moved to Cambodia in 1991 to write for the "Far Eastern Economic Review" and spent years trying to get an interview with Pol Pot. In July 1997, Thayer tried to get an interview but did not. He was told he could only get an interview once Pol Pot's trial, which had just begun, would end. In October, he returned and got an interview with Pol Pot. In this interview, Pol Pot denied that a genocide happened in Cambodia. He defended himself against Thayer.

According to Thayer, ABC News took credit for his footage and spread it more than he had agreed to. He was nominated for a Peabody Award for his work with ABC News, but declined it because he did not want to share the award
The voiceless upper-pharyngeal plosive or stop is a rare consonant. Pharyngeal consonants are usually pronounced at two parts of the pharynx, upper and lower. The lower part is epiglottal, so the upper part is usually shortened to just 'pharyngeal'. In languages around the world, the upper pharynx makes a voiceless fricative and a voiced sound that can be a fricative or (more commonly) approximant, . The epiglottal part makes the plosive and also sounds like the fricative and trill . Because the fricative and trill are usually trilled and rarely just fricative, these consonants are simply called pharyngeal, and are labelled as plosive, fricative/approximant and trill. Examples. No language is known to have a phonemic upper pharyngeal plosive. Some say the Nǁng language (Nǀuu) has an upper pharyngeal place of articulation in its click consonants— clicks in Nǁng have a closing in the back that is said to sometimes be uvular and sometimes be upper pharyngeal, depending on the click type. However, if the place was actually pharyngeal, they could not also exist as nasal clicks, which they do. Besides that, upper pharyngeal plosives are only known from disordered speech. They can be found in the speech of some children with cleft palate, so they can back their stops so they don't have to nasalise them. The extIPA has the letter (a small-capital ) for this sound.

On 7 January 2025, at 09:05 CST, an earthquake measuring or happened in Tingri County, located in the Tibet Autonomous Region of south-western China. At least 126 people were killed while 188 others were injured from the earthquake. Tectonic setting. The Tibetan Plateau is high because of crust thickening caused by the collision of tectonic plates near the Himalayas. Faults in the plateau are linked to two main types: strike-slip and normal faults. The plateau stretches east–west, shown by north–south grabens, strike-slip faults, and GPS data. Big earthquakes (magnitude 8.0 or so) mostly happen on strike-slip faults. Smaller earthquakes (magnitude 5.9 to 7.1) on normal faults occurred in 2008 at depths of 10–15 km with fault angles of 40–50 degrees. A 2010 study found that 85% of the energy from normal fault earthquakes in the last 43 years happened above 5 km elevation, suggesting these quakes are influenced by the pull of gravity. Earthquake. The United States Geological Survey (USGS) said the earthquake had a magnitude of () of 7.1, while the China Earthquake Networks Center reported it as . It was caused by normal faulting in the Tibetan Plateau. The earthquake happened on a north-south fault that dipped either east or west. Strong shaking was felt in Nepal, India, Bhutan, and Bangladesh. USGS models showed movement along a fault that stretched about 80 km (50 mi) and went 20 km (12 mi) deep. The largest slip was 1.6 m (5 ft 3 in) or 1.3 m (4 ft 3 in), depending on the fault's direction. Impact. The earthquake killed at least 126 people and injured 188 more in Tibet. Most deaths happened in Tingri County (32), with 2 each in Lhatse and Sakya counties. Over 1,000 homes collapsed in Tingri County, near the epicenter. It was the biggest earthquake in China since January 2024 and the deadliest
From 1942 to 1949, Canada forced over 22,000 Japanese Canadians to move and live in camps. This was over 90% of all Japanese Canadians in British Columbia. The government said this was for "national security." Most of these people were born in Canada. They were targeted because they had Japanese ancestors. This happened after Japan fought against the Western Allies in World War II. Important events included Japan's invasion of Hong Kong, the attack on Pearl Harbor in Hawaii, and the Fall of Singapore. Canada then declared war on Japan. In the United States, Japanese Americans faced similar treatment. Japanese Canadians were forced to follow rules like curfews, lost their jobs and property, and some were sent back to Japan. From December 1941 to 1949, Japanese Canadians had their homes and businesses taken away. They were sent to camps and farms in British Columbia and other places in Canada, mostly far from cities. The government sold their fishing boats, cars, houses, farms, businesses, and personal things. The money from these sales was used to cover their living costs in the camps. In August 1944, Prime Minister Mackenzie King said Japanese Canadians had to move east of the Rocky Mountains or be sent to Japan after the war. By 1947, many could return to British Columbia, but it was not until April 1, 1949, that they were free to live anywhere in the province again. On September 22, 1988, Prime Minister Brian Mulroney apologized, one month after U.S. President Ronald Reagan apologized to Japanese Americans. Canada offered $21,000 to each living person who had been sent to the camps and gave back Canadian citizenship to those sent to Japan. The Japanese Canadian Redress Agreement in 1988 created a fund to help teach about this history.
A leap second is adding one extra second to time sometimes. This is done to fix the small difference between very exact time (kept by atomic clocks) and the less exact solar time (based on the Earth’s rotation). The time system we use (UTC) would get too far ahead of solar time without these fixes. Leap seconds were first used in 1972. Since then, 27 leap seconds have been added, the last one on December 31, 2016. All of them added one second. Taking away a second is possible, but it has never happened. The Earth's rotation speed changes because of weather and natural events. This makes leap seconds hard to predict. A group called the International Earth Rotation and Reference Systems Service (IERS) decides when to add them, usually about six months before, so the difference between UTC and solar time never gets bigger than 0.9 seconds. Leap seconds cause problems, especially for systems that need very exact timing. Some computers do not update correctly, so their time can be wrong. After many years of talks, it was decided in November 2022 that leap seconds will be stopped by or before 2035.

DZRI-TV was launched following the merger of ABS-CBN's predecessors, Alto Broadcasting System and Chronicle Broadcasting Network. The station started on VHF channel 10 with a transmitting power of 500 watts. At the time, it served as a sister to former AM station DZBC, which opened in 1964. In 1969, VHF Channel 10 broadcast the Seven Last Words from the Baguio Cathedral to viewers in Metro Manila and Pangasinan via microwave relay.

That became the station's last year on the original Channel 10 frequency. Eight years later, in 1980, VHF Channel 10 was handed over to the newly launched station DZEA-TV . While the intellectual unit of the closed network was taken over by the crony-owned Banahaw Broadcasting Corporation, Benedicto moved the station's VHF allocation from VHF channel 10 to the current channel 3. Two years later, the state-run State Television (the basis of today's People's Television Network ) began broadcasting programs from Manila, as well as occasional local content, via channel 3; with the commercial BBC on its newly purchased DWZM-TV VHF channel 8, also a victim of the Marcos crackdown.
