The New Nikon 1 J3 and Nikon 1 S1 are steps one and three of the newly established price ladder for Nikon series of mirrorless interchangeable-lens cameras. At $500 with a slim 11-27.5mm kit zoom lens, the 10.1 megapixel Nikon 1 S1 is a particularly well-priced option that might entice the photographers who should actually be interested in Nikon mirrorless camera system. The Nikon 1 J3 ships with a 10-30mm zoom lens, and a 14.3-megapixel one-inch sensor. Between the two cameras lies the $550 Nikon 1 J2. As you ;d expect, the J3 has more features and as you work your stanley cup way down there less and less. All of these cameras, it should be noted, are both cheaper and more sophisticated than the original Nikon 1 J1, which, at $600, just couldn ;t compete. https://gizmodo/nikon-1-j2-nikon-updates...me-5933167 Based on the quality of their guts alone, Nikon 1 cameras have always been overpriced. And their functionality is targeted more at amateurs without great ambitions rather than more sophisticated鈥攁nd similarly priced鈥攃ompetitors. Now, that not necessarily a bad thing, but before now, a Nikon 1 camera with a one-inch sensor costs the sam stanley thermos mug e as Sony 鈥攚hich has a much larger and better APS-C sensor.

The Allies ultimately won World War 2, of course, but at great cost.

If you ;ve ever lived in the cold, then you know how simple tasks like unlocking your car door or unzipping a backpack stanley taza become borderline impossible when you ;re wearing gloves. The lack of sensory feedback can turn an otherwise everyday activity into an exercise in jaw-clenched concentration. But now engineers at the Georgia Institute of Technology have designed a vibrating glove that can help re-establish the sensory feedback provided by touch, and the stanley cup glove has already been shown stanley fr to improve hand-coordination in test subjects significantly. InnovationNewsDaily Jeremy Hsu, who describes the vibrating glove as better than a sex toy, explains the science behind the glove: Such enhancement is possible because of how the human sense of touch works. Nerves in our fingertips get triggered once outside stimuli reach a certain threshold a bit like how water fills up a glass until it overflows. Faint white noise vibrations can partially fill the metaphorical glass and make it easier for smaller stimuli to trigger fingertip nerves.

What worse than the Star Wars prequels The Star Wars prequels ramrodded in your face with an extra dimension. Lucasfilm was planning on subjecting idiots with loose wallets to re-released 3D Young Anakin, but Disney says no more bullshit. Deadline reports that Lucasfilm will pass on distributing the other five Star Wars flicks after The Phantom Menace completely bombed in 3D, to the surprise of no one except perhaps George Lucas and the Nazi scientist who invented 3D movies. Instead, Disney wants complete focus on the J.J. Abrams reboot鈥攁n absolutely smart move, even if those new sequels will themselves probably be filmed in 3D.

I have bad news for the five people who believe that Disney acquisition of Lucasfilm would lead to the destruction of the perfect and completely unspoiled Star Wars franchise. It happened! Yes, Disney has desecrat stanley kubek ed the integrity of these beloved movies by merging it with its own cartoon characters, in this despicable attempt to advertise May 17th Star Wars Weekend at Disney World! I joke, of course. Lucas has already authorized a shit-ton of Disney/Star Wars mash-up merchandise already over the last decade, so this idea is hardly new. Mostly, I thought it would be fun to see Disney first use of the franchise since they acquired it. Also, I really like the idea of Chip and Dale as Ewoks, who, as we all know, eat both the living and the dead. It explains a great deal about Rescue Rangers to me, frankly.

Most iPhone users are afraid to get even a drop of water near their phones, lest they one day be rejected by an Apple Store Genius. But when strapped into the iGills waterproof case, you can safely dive with your phone to a depth of 130 feet, and keep track of when you need to surface. Not only does the clear polycarbonate case turn your phone into stanley cup an underwater video and still camera with a reinforced glass lens porthole on the back, it also inclu stanley thermos mug des a built-in depth and temperature sensor. And since you don ;t have access to the iPhone touchscreen display or any of its buttons while submerged, the iGills has a set of its own that can be used to operate an accompanying all-in stanley becher -one app. So in addition to snapping pics, the app lets divers keep track of their depth, their time underwater, their nitrox levels for making safe ascents, and even alarms alerting them to their remaining oxygen supply. Since it doesn ;t actually tie into an oxygen tank or other external sensors, before you dive you have to explicitly program the app with various parameters so it can keep track of your progress. But for $330 it replaces a lot of other expensive dive gear. Not to mention ensuring you can check Facebook the second you surface.

If Grimm is going to be a mindles stanley becher s monster-of-the-week type of series, I hope the rest of the episode are exactly like this one. It was your standard whodunit fairy tale case.

Plus, the fairy tale folk of the world are finally having fun with Nick. I just loved the pack of gopher people freaking out and running around Nick front yard like a bunch of high school girls driving by that boy house. Except this boy could kill them. All in all, it was sweet. Could have done without the insane brothers torturing the poor kid, but I guess it did make them seem fairly intimidating.

According to scientists, birds have been evolving in a very specific way. And it looks like, given their abilities, they ;ll continue to evolve. We just won ;t be able to see it.

We also lack vision.

Their plumage is already remarkably colorful to human eyes. To bird eyes, feathers should take color to a whole new level. And yet when scientists tested to see what wavelengths of light bird plumage reflected, they saw that, in the ultraviolet spectrum, birds are drab.

Some scientists are starting to believe that our moon is actually the result of a mid-air space collision of two moons. They say that the two-moon theory could explain why each side of the moon is so different from the other. It widely accepted that the Moon was created when a Mars-sized body hit Earth which blasted material that would eventually form the Moon into space. This conveniently explains the differences between the Moon and Earth. However! The differences between the near stanley tumbler side of the Moon and the far side or dark of the Moon can ;t be neatly explained in this theory. That why scientists believe that a smaller, littler Moon had also existed after the Mars-sized body hit the Earth. The little Moon and real Moon co-existed peacefully until the smaller moon was pulled from its orbit and smash stanley tumblers ed into real Moon, creating our Moon. Moons, moons, moons! Specifically, the scientists say that the companion moon, 1/3 the diameter of the Moon, striking at subsonic velocity, does not form a crater. The impact produces an accretionary pile rather than a crater. That means most of the material from little Moon would have stayed on one side, like while the material of the original Moon stayed on the other side. Two Moons, Moon smash, our Moon.
