Every 26 seconds, the Earth shakes. Scientists have said it's not enough that you would feel it, but it's just enough for it to be detected by seismologists. Although seismologists have observed this pulse for decades, they don't agree on what's causing it.
Thank you for watching!

Frequently Asked Questions
What can we learn about Abraham Lincoln?
Abraham Lincoln said, “I am slow to understand; very fast to forget.”
He was aware of the importance to continue learning, knowing that there would be a time when he would have to relearn his old habits and adopt new ones.
The same holds true for our businesses. We will hit roadblocks sometimes, and get stuck in unproductive ruts no matter how many times we plan for our success.
It's important to keep learning and growing. If nothing else is important, we must learn more, even after we have reached the pinnacle.
Lincoln was the right person. He recognized that while he could become more effective in his business, he couldn't stop learning.
There are two types of entrepreneurs. They are those who are busy and those that stay smart.
Those who are busy concentrate on growing their businesses. They spend their time on product development and marketing, as well as customer service.
While they may feel they have accomplished something worthwhile, many times they don't. Unless these entrepreneurs are also focused on staying smarter, they won't achieve sustainable growth.
What sets successful entrepreneurs apart from ordinary ones? Ability to quickly adapt to changing situations.
Successful entrepreneurs are always looking for ways to improve the products and services they offer when faced with difficulties.
However, the average entrepreneur will stick with outdated methods that do not work. They don't want to change until the business goes under.
To succeed, you must master both the art of adaptation and self-reflection.
Do we have to learn history in order to avoid making the same mistakes as before?
Because we keep repeating the same mistakes, history repeats itself. We don't learn from our mistakes. We don't change. We become complacent. We settle to mediocrity.
History repeats itself when we believe the same old stories. We are conditioned to believe in immutable truths and immutable rules. They are immutable laws and truths that we can't change.
This keeps us from being able to think critically. The ability to question authority. From challenging assumptions. When we do not question, we stagnate. When we don't learn, we stagnate. We repeat the same mistakes when we stagnate.
But history isn't the same because we continue making the same mistakes. History repeats itself because we refuse to learn from our mistakes and instead continue to make the same ones over and over.
It is possible to break the cycle of history repetition. You can change the way you see the world, and your perspective by realizing that nothing is fixed in stone. Nothing is unchangeable. All things are in constant flux.
Accepting uncertainty is the key to breaking this cycle. Accepting that things may go wrong. To accept the possibility of failure. Accept that failure is possible.
Accept that you may never achieve your goals. Acceptance is a part of learning, but it's important to continue improving.
To hold on to the past is to be certain. If you insist on the existence of fixed truths, then you will never move forward.
Freedom is only possible if you are willing to let go. You can't control progress unless you let go.
Who was the first to say that those who don’t learn from history are ignorant?
We all wish to live in a world where everyone learns from the past, but there are more valuable things than learning from our mistakes.
There's no better way to learn to do something right than to experience it wrong.
The only real mistake is not trying to ensure you do it right the first time.
You'll eventually discover why you made the changes if you continue to make them.
You may even find that you could do it better the second time.
However, that doesn't mean you should not try again. It means you've learned a lot.
Even though you cannot avoid making mistakes completely, you can minimize them. And that's the difference between success and failure.
It all starts with acknowledging your mistakes. Next, look at your mistakes objectively and ask yourself "What have I learned?"
If you're honest with yourself, you'll realize that your mistakes are just lessons. They are learning opportunities.
And that's exactly what happened to Thomas Edison. He failed many more times before he invented the lightbulb.
He didn't let his failures discourage him. Instead, he used each one as an opportunity to improve his design.
He developed the most well-known form of lighting we have today.
So, if you fail, don't get discouraged. Learn from your failures. Please take advantage of them.
You can then try again.
What are three things that you can learn from the past?
There are many examples in history of how we can learn from our failures. We can apply them to today's business challenges and turn them into opportunities for growth.
We have learned from the past that there are always other ways to do things. You will always find someone who thinks outside of the box and takes chances that make them stand out.
History has shown us that often it is the underdogs that succeed. When you feel overwhelmed, stuck or lost, think back to the times when they won.
You can learn from the past, and bring those lessons into the future. Learn from others' successes and failures.
These lessons will help improve your success rate.

How To
How did marketing history turn into propaganda?
The term "propaganda", as it is commonly known, was first used by Max Weber (1879), a German sociologist. He derived the term from the Greek "praopagos", meaning "to speak well." The Latin verb "propere", meaning "nearby" and "at hand", and the noun “agogos,” meaning "speech, discourse," are the origins of the term. It is a systematic attempt at shaping attitudes and behaviors.
George Orwell, British journalist, wrote: "To understand and comprehend the true nature propaganda, we must realize it isn't the intention to make anyone believe anything. It only the intention change their beliefs...Its purpose is to make them accept something rather than one thing."
Edward Bernays (1891 –1955), who was Sigmund Fréud's nephew. The psychoanalyst and nephew of Sigmund Freud became famous after he invented "public relations" back in 1922. He believed that "the conscious, intelligent manipulation of organized habits and opinions is an important component of a democratic country." He started the public relations agency "Bernays & Company", where he remained until 1955.
Bernays devised a technique called "engineering consent" to influence public opinion using advertising and publicity campaigns. This was from the 1920s to 1950s. His methods were later adopted in mass media such as Time Magazines, CBS News and NBC News. Bernays worked closely with corporations and government agencies after World War II to influence public opinion. Some of his clients included Johnson & Johnson, General Electric, Procter & Gamble, Coca-Cola, Ford Motor Company, U.S. Department of Defense, American Tobacco Company, DuPont, Rayonier, and the United States Chamber of Commerce.
His most notable client was the tobacco industry. Philip Morris, who he assisted in developing a campaign against smoking was the most prominent client. The campaign resulted from the SurgeonGeneral recommending that smoking be banned indoors. The Cigarette Advertising Act, which banned any advertisement for cigarettes in print media (magazines, newspapers, television) was passed by the Senate in 1965.
He also gave advice on how to deal during the Great Depression with the growing labor movement. Bernays suggested to the president that he declare a "war against hunger" and use the federal government's ability to ensure adequate food supplies. This strategy made the government seem like a loving father figure, and it helped the president win his re-election bid in 1936.
Bernays began to promote the idea that radio listening could increase radio sales as radio popularity grew. In the 1930s, Bernays introduced the concepts of "branding", and "advertising". He believed that consumers could feel special and be influenced through appealing to their emotions. For example, he promoted the slogan "Have you got what it takes?" 1933: Encouraged women to invest in war bonds.
In 1944, he established the political action committee "Young People for Freedom". This group had the goal of encouraging Americans aged 18 to 30 to vote Republican. Dwight Eisenhower won, in 1952, the presidency after Bernays' efforts.
In 1953, Bernays persuaded the CIA to stage a coup in Iran, replacing Mohammad Mosaddegh with Shah Reza Pahlevi. He justified the move as necessary in order to stop Mosaddegh becoming the nationalist of Iranian oilfields. Bernays wrote articles praiseing the new regime after the coup as "moderate," progressive, and modernized.
Bernays received many other awards throughout his career.
