A strange and rare fish found in Minahasa

The discovery of the rare fish in Minahasa by Adj. First. Insp. Jefrry Nggala, an officer with the Wanea Police in Manado, North Sulawesi taken seriously by universities and research institutes.

A shark researcher from the Research Center for Oceanography, Indonesian Institute of Sciences (Lembaga Ilmu Pengetahuan Indonesia/LIPI), Fahmi said that the fish found in Kalasey beach, Minahasa regency, on Sunday, August 7, 2016, is worth examining.

As previously reported by Kompas, Nggala find the odd-shaped fish in the dead condition. Allegedly, the death occurred shortly before the fish found. "When I found the fish, its eyes were purple," said Nggala.

Recognizing the characteristic peculiarities of the fish, Nggala then take a picture, upload the photos to Facebook, and search for information about it on the internet. As the results of his googling showed that fish measuring about 60 cm is 'Oxynotus brunensis,' or Prickly Dogfish whose status is nearly extinct.

Fahmi, who contacted by Kompas, on Monday, August 8, 2016, confirmed that the fish are indeed the type of spiny sharks are now increasingly rare.

"This is a new finding. Kind of like it usually is in temperate zone (in Australia and New Zealand waters)," said Fahmi.

Fahmi had contacted his fellow researchers from Australia and New Zealand. "They wonder such kind in the waters of Indonesia," he said. The discovery of brown-bodied fish in the waters of Minahasa can be construed as a "new record" of the Oxynotus genus in Indonesia. However, it can also be more than a new record. "It could be a new species if it is different from the type that is already there," he explained.

Fahmi hoped, the fish specimens that have the characteristics of large and spiny backs were stored because it can be a valuable research material. Meanwhile, N Gustaf M Mamangkey, a marine researcher at the Sam Ratulangi University in Manado said that the university had secured the rare fish specimens.

"At this time, the specimen stored at the Faculty of Fisheries and Oceanography, Sam Ratulangi University, and is planned to be carried out an 'autopsy' by the university expert teams and relatives in the near future," he said.

"Why was found stranded in the waters of North Sulawesi, let us wait for the answer together," he added through Facebook on Monday. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | KOMPAS]

Will the 'Keating Berus' supercar debut next year?

In the near future, Bolton-based supercar manufacturer Keating Supercars will present a road monster named 'Keating Berus.' Although there was less familiar, but it will come with outstanding performance. The vehicle' name comes from Vipera Berus - the scientific name for a common European viper.

Claimed to have a light weight, super speed, as well as an elegant look similar to F1 cars. Reportedly, Keating Berus is a supercar that has power up to 2,000 hp and will be unveiled at the Top Marques Monaco show in April next year. Is it true?

As we all know that Keating Supercars introduce his first supercar named TKR at the London Motor Show 2006. This supercar even said to be equivalent to the Saleen S7 and Pagani Zonda.

Then in 2011, the company also introduced their ZKR series. The car said to be capable of producing up to 650 hp and is able to sprint from 0-100 km/h with a relatively short time, which is 3.6 seconds.

The most controversial is when they release a supercar named Bolt in 2014. The car is claimed to be capable of reaching a top speed of 340 mph or 547 km/h by using LS7 V8 twin turbo engine with a capacity of 7,000 cc, but soon seemed to disappear from the news media.

And in 2017, Keating Supercars will present the Berus supercar in three versions, namely a naturally-aspirated unit giving 650 hp. Adding twin-turbochargers to this will push power up to 2,000 hp (of course), while an electric version promises green motoring with more than 400 hp on tap.

Unfortunately, the company just released the rendering images that reveal a sleek coupe design is decorated with many of the characteristics of modern supercar. At the front, Keating Berus have one set of slim vertical lights and curved bonnet, with a large size air extractor.

The side of the car looks quite simple and only consists of one large air intake, using a middle engine that is unclear specifications. To the rear, seemed pinned active spoiler, and thin rear lights and oval shaped exhaust.

According to the company founder Dr. Anthony Keating, the supercar will be built in Bolton and has a weighs about 1 ton also is expected to give a spectacular performance. It also claimed to have a maximally speed up to 550 km/h and can sprint from 0-100 km/h in just 2 seconds.

But it's still awkward when compared to the engine brought by Bugatti Chiron (W16 quad-turbo with a capacity of 8,000 cc) recorded only generate power up to 1,479 hp. To be sure, we wait for the presence of this supercar next year. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | AUTOEXPRESS]

The Tower, an ambitious project on a new scale and design

Anyone who has ever stood on top of skyscrapers, both the Empire State Building in New York or the Burj Khalifa in Dubai, could prove a force of nature at that altitude. Not only a strong wind, but also other complex natural power to prop up tall buildings meant to be more, far beyond mere aesthetic interest.

With this in mind, Emaar Properties, confirmed that they have completed the wind test for The Tower at Dubai Creek Harbour. The tower is planned to stand 100 meters higher than the Burj Khalifa towering about 828 meters.

The wind test is considered as a very important process in determining aspects of the altitude and the final design.

"The wind test is an important component in the structural design stage, and we have deployed innovative engineering techniques to confirm the strength of this new icon," said project architect based Spanish-Swiss, Santiago Calatrava Valls.

The tests involved 12 analysis and testing a number of different methods to ensure that all cases that may arise can be resolved. They did a test for the entire project using a scale model. As part of the climate tests in the local area, measurements were taken at different heights, including data provided by weather stations. Seismic studies were also performed on local soil conditions.

"This is to ensure maximum security and stability of the building. Design The Tower also includes several systems and systems reliever shock absorbers, which is located at the points and different heights," Emaar said.

This tower was described by the Chairman of Emaar Properties, Mohamed Alabbar as an ambitious project on a new scale and design. "This project requires high precision engineering in all aspects," said Alabbar.

He also said that the Tower will serve as a beacon of hope that is positive for the city and the region. The master plan of the complex area of ​​6 square kilometers was revealed in April last year.

Emaar said, The Tower includes 679 million square meters of residential space, 851,000 square meters of commercial property, 22 hotels with 4,400 rooms and 11.1 million square meters of retail.
