In nearly every way that matters, the new Z6 III matches or outperforms the company’s much pricier, top-end Nikon Z8.Although it’s not perfect, the Z6 III is one of the best full-frame mirrorless cameras on the market, and it’s capable of handling pretty much any photographic situation most of us are going to encounter. Landscape and wildlife pros will probably stick with their Z8s for the higher-resolution sensor, but for everyone else, this is the Nikon to get.Leaping ForwardNikon’s new Z6 III is…
Dragged Down Deep by Michael Okon A spine-chilling story of grief, trauma, and darkness lurking beneath the surface. Twenty years ago, Logan’s father died tragically, with nobody as his witness except 9-year-old Logan. Of course, the authorities don’t believe Logan’s insistence that it was a mermaid that leaped from the water and dragged him under. So, living with a hazy memory, doubting his own mind and reality, Logan has kept that glimmer of truth buried. But with a career in Cryptozoology — hunting down creatures of myth and folklore— he’s finally searching for proof. And when reports of people going…
Firefighters in California during a prescribed burnSan Francisco Chronicle via Getty You can fight fire with fire, even in the flammable forests of the western US. According to an analysis of California’s record-breaking 2020 fire season, intentionally burning land can reduce the severity and amount of smoke from wildfires that burn those areas later on, even when accounting for smoke from the intentional fires themselves. “We show that there is a net benefit,” says Makoto Kelp at Stanford University in California. The idea of “prescribed burning” is… View Original Source Here

In reality, the ER is vast and dynamic, spread throughout the cell and able to establish contact and communication with and between other organelles. These membrane contacts regulate processes as diverse as fat…

Astronomers have spotted a “supersonic jetstream” on a nearby alien world, with winds reaching 20,500 mph (33,000 km/h) — the fastest planetary gusts detected anywhere in the cosmos.The record-breaking weather is raging on WASP-127b, a “puffy” gas giant around 500 light-years from Earth that is slightly larger than Jupiter but has a fraction of the mass.

However, the speed of this jetstream had remained a mystery until…
Critic’s Rating: 4.5 / 5.04.5Finally, some family “feels.” Found may have delivered one of my favorite installments of the season with Found Season 2 Episode 10, as the hour perfectly balanced both aspects of the series well. While I’ve been enthralled by the season’s focus on the fallout from a freed Sir on M&A and the public, it’s no secret that the season has brought that more to the forefront than the cases. (Matt Miller/NBC) “Missing While Outed” resembled Found Season 1 in its focus on the case of the week. Found does this in such a great way that…

On Thursday’s (January 23) new episode of Jeopardy! three recently-crowned champions faced off for the opportunity to advance to the Tournament of Champions — namely, Will Yancey, Drew Goins, and Mehal Shah — in a Wildcard Finals match that was surprisingly marked with some near-miss answers and big backslides.

Worse, he also bet a good bit on Final Jeopardy but was the…

What’s the story behind the story? What inspired you to write The Spear and the Sentinel? I used to work as the head of innovation for the US SEAL Teams and I spent a lot of time working with national labs. At one location I had the pleasure of working on quantum sensor technology and the plot sort of formed itself. Additionally, as far as the characters are concerned, I wanted to express the dynamics of working in the Special Operations community as an outsider and the ongoing cultural issues one may face.
