crack tough cases

THIS
crime series, since its debut in 2004, has spawned several
comics and novels based on investigation of crime in New York. CSI:
NY on Mondays at 11 P.M. on AXN brings alive the throbbing
cop-and-robber ties that seem to get strained every time a new
crime is committed. The crime drama inspired by the CSI (Crime
Scene Investigation) is about forensic investigators, who use
high-tech science to follow the evidence and crack tough cases.
Detective Mac Taylor, a dedicated crime-scene investigator, is a
decorated marine who had served in the Desert Storm. This job is
his life and he has the reputation of not leaving a case until
is solved. His partner, Stella Bonasera, too, shares his passion
for the job. They lead a team of experts through the gritty and
kinetic city that never sleeps. One of the most popular series, CSI:
NY has a passionate fan following even on social networking
sites like Facebook and Twitter.
Action replay
Things appear the
way we look at them and not the way they should be perceived. Time
Warp every Monday at 9 P.M. on the Discovery Channel
explains phenomenon, which the naked eye cannot see. MIT
scientist and teacher Jeff Lieberman, along with digital-imaging
expert Matt Kearney, show it, as it should be. They record
everyday things and then slow down the footage to see what is
really going on. So you can see how a dog uses its tongue to
drink water; how a face contorts when punched; what happens when
an egg falls into the blades of a blender or how playing balls
get juggled in the air. What you see is the detailing of an
event, which the normal eye can never catch. This highly
creative programme uses the latest in high-speed photography, to
turn natural events (a cat licking its paw, a champagne bottle
being opened) into a thing of both beauty and learning. — NF
