Tonicon Sepcion is drawn to Cooper Beach in Southampton for its white sand and mild breezes during the warm months. Stephen P. Leatherman, a beach researcher from Florida International University, has ranked Cooper Beach as the top beach in the United States for 2025, highlighting its soft quartz sand, tranquility, safety, and suburban vibe. This beach, known for its cleanliness and clear waters, has surpassed last year’s winner, Duke Kahanamoku Beach in Hawaii. Local residents appreciate Cooper Beach for its serene atmosphere, although some find the rough sand and high daily parking fee of $50 to be drawbacks. Leatherman suggests…
NASA has reported significant discoveries regarding the South Atlantic Anomaly (SAA), a region characterized by a weakening magnetic field that leads to increased radiation levels. This poses risks to satellites and space missions, as heightened radiation can damage electronics and threaten mission success. Scientists are investigating the origins of the SAA, potentially linked to Earth’s core dynamics and geological structures in Africa. The anomaly is expanding, potentially impacting global technology systems by increasing vulnerability to solar storms and affecting communication and power grids. Continuous research is crucial to understand the SAA’s underlying causes and develop protective strategies for both space…
A study by the University of Mississippi and Georgetown University has found that sugar compounds from ocean cucumbers may help slow cancer progression by blocking the enzyme Sulf-2, which promotes cancer growth. Ocean cucumbers, important for marine ecosystems as bottom feeders, possess unique biochemicals not typically found in land animals. Research focused on a specific molecule called fucosylated chondroitin sulfate from the sea cucumber species Holothuria floridana, which successfully inhibited Sulf-2 activity. This finding suggests a potential for safer cancer therapies, as many current treatments that inhibit Sulf-2 can cause dangerous side effects like uncontrolled bleeding. Additionally, extracting compounds from…
Summary: Jetzero Inc., a California-based startup, has announced plans to construct the first manufacturing plant for next-generation passenger jets at Greensboro Airport in North Carolina, with an investment of $4.7 billion. This project is projected to create the largest job commitment in North Carolina’s history, potentially employing around 20 planes a month by the early 2030s. The Z4 aircraft, which Jetzero has been developing, is touted to be 50% more fuel-efficient than traditional designs. They have attracted support from United Airlines, Alaska Airlines, and have secured approximately $300 million in funding, including grants from the US Air Force. The state’s…
A recent court filing related to the wrongful death lawsuit of Angels pitcher Tyler Skaggs, who died of an overdose in 2019, has revealed new details about his drug use and connections within the Angels organization. The Skaggs family is seeking $210 million in damages, claiming multiple employees of the team were aware of the drug use of Eric Kay, the team’s former communications director, who was implicated in providing drugs to Skaggs. In a motion filed by the Angels for summary judgment in May, they argued that Skaggs was responsible for his own death due to a long history…
The final hearing regarding proposed service cuts and fare increases by Pittsburgh Regional Transport (PRT) was held at the David L. Lawrence Convention Center. PRT is facing a budget deficit exceeding $100 million since July 1. The proposal includes a 35% overall cut to services, with a 62% reduction in ADA services, aligning service levels to federal minimums. Dozens of riders expressed concern, stating that public transport is essential for many individuals. For example, Minna Lanie highlighted the risk to her health due to reduced transportation options for medical appointments. The proposed changes include eliminating service on 53 bus routes,…
The article discusses a study revealing that Archosauromorph reptiles managed to endure and traverse the harsh environmental conditions of the early Triassic period, following the Permian mass extinction that wiped out a significant percentage of life. Using a modeling system called Tardis, researchers traced the travel routes of 392 species, uncovering their broader climate adaptability than previously understood. These reptiles crossed extreme environments and geographic barriers, helping them enter new ecological niches and potentially shaping the evolutionary path that led to dinosaurs, birds, and crocodiles. Dr. Joseph Flannery Souserland emphasizes that despite the catastrophic climate event, these ancient reptiles thrived…
The Amber Alert for 3-year-old Nora Dinkins was canceled after authorities determined her mother, Darian Randle, fabricated a story about her abduction. Investigators found a body in connection with the case, which is believed to be linked to Nora. Randle, 31, has been charged with making false reports, child abuse, and murder-related offenses. Her boyfriend, Cedric Britten, 44, has been charged as an accessory in the murder investigation. Randle’s claims involved a supposed abductor who took her daughter, but police found no evidence supporting her story. An autopsy is underway to confirm the identity of the recovered body. Randle is…

Microsoft has partnered with Asus to launch two new Xbox Ally Handhelds later this year. These devices will run Windows, but feature a full-screen Xbox UI that limits traditional Windows functionality, using the Xbox app as a launcher for games and apps. The initiative signals a shift in Xbox’s branding, aiming to create a true Xbox handheld experience rather than just a PC gaming device. Xbox president Sarah Bond highlighted the convenience of mobile gaming while emphasizing that this marks a new era for Xbox hardware. Even though Microsoft’s standalone Xbox handheld has reportedly been canceled, the company seems to…
