The face of Mercedes-Maybach 6 revealed

Mercedes Benz has released its newest luxury sedan concept, named Vision Mercedes-Maybach 6 will be officially revealed on August 18, 2016 before it goes on display at the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance.

Sightings new concept car that was introduced through the Instagram, looks to have the body of six meters in length. If you look at a body length offered by Maybach, may be Mercedes is eyeing of ultra-luxury car segment, such as Rolls-Royce.

In a statement, the concept is inspired by the Maybach Exelero, with a long hood lead and sweep profiles. But this concept is not going to make it slimmer than Exelero, if the length is six meters (about 20 feet). Odds are that this car will use the same 6.0-liter twin-turbo V12 that powers the Mercedes-Maybach S600, though it may make some more power for this model.

In fact, the Rolls-Royce Phantom Coupe only has a body length of about 18 feet. This coupe concept using wheelbase S-Class variants, so Mercedes-Maybach will expand its lineup with its own car.

Surely this is the most unique models if it falls into one concept car that has long body. Because there is no car with such long by applying only two doors anyway. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | AUTOGUIDE]

Is Piranha really dangerous?

Most popular notion expressed great flocks of hungry piranha can kill a human being. Even down to its skeleton in a matter of seconds. However it turns out, the idea was without precedent, and most are just the fragments of incomplete stories about whether piranha actually harmful to humans..

Scientists said that Piranha is a simply amazing fish with large teeth. (Picture from: http://adf.ly/1d8C82)

The fact that needs to be clarified is the piranha not pose a threat to humans. Lots of documents that prove swimming in the water that full of piranhas is not dangerous. To prove it, Dr. Herbert Axelrod,  swim in a pool containing the most dangerous type of piranha, red belly piranha. Without wearing nothing but swimming suit.

To refute the myth about the deadly piranha, Today I Found Out, describes experiments conducted by Dr. Axelrod. In experimentation, he held several bloody fresh meat using a hook nearby. Flocks of piranha finally eat the meat and let Dr. Axelrod intact unharmed.

So, although it is often considered a voracious carnivorous beings with infinite hunger for meat and craze after smell blood, piranha are actually a shy omnivorous fish. Even the most carnivorous piranha type once behaved more or less like a vulture in freshwater. They eat carcasses or animals dying, not alive who can strike back.

They will eat small fish, worms, and freshwater animals that pose little threat to their own. The reason they are always 'attack' in large herds is not to kill larger prey like in the movies. They did so to defend themselves from predators. You certainly do not believe that the piranha were at the lowest level in the food chain. They usually prey on birds, dolphins, caimans, more larger fish, and of course, humans.

One study in 2005, the piranha showed an attitude of nervous or scared when left alone in the experiment tank. As pets, generally piranha will hide itself when there are people around their tank. In a large group, piranha was not too nervous, though it still has the behavior of 'swim away' when faced with large-sized creature.

Although research on piranha's behavior does not provide the answers we wanted, researchers generally agree that the piranha's reputation as a ferocious fish unfounded. And Dr. Anne E. Magurran, a biologist even commented sarcastically about this piranha. She said, "Basically piranha is a simply amazing fish with large teeth." *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | TODAY I FOUND OUT]

I thought this scooter is not eligible to be used on the streets, because because the position of the rider too risky and dangerous, so does not fit the rules as a vehicle that can be used on public roads safely. In my opinion that's the most stupidest modified scooters ever...! What do you think?

Kept spur your adrenaline on the power of two-wheeled monster and stay alive with the true safety riding. God will forgive Your sins.... *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | OKEZONE]

Humans can detect the signs of death?

One interesting thing when someone will die is the behavior as if they know will leave this world. Start of saying goodbye, trying to resolve all the problems with people, or giving away the most valuable treasure in the relatives, etc.

Some may argue, this is a pure coincidence, while others believe humans have the ability to know when the death comes. Which one will you follow? Up to you. It is only natural to try to understand the death of someone we love or make sense of what happens in those final moments. Scientists know when someone dies, the body immediately begins to break down.

Okay ... let us consider a research from Wisman Arnaud of the University of Kent's School of Psychology in Canterbury, England, and Ilan Shira from the Department of Behavioral Sciences at Tech University in Russellville, Arkansas, United States.

Their research found that the animal and human response to the putrescine chemical aroma. For information, when a person dies, his body will be destroyed. Body crushed produce the odors called putrescine.

Putrescine are chemical compounds that are released when the body is decomposed. Putrescine is toxic, and people are very familiar with this stench. Studies conducted by Wisman and Shira found that the animals and humans may not be so different in terms of detecting of the putrescine chemical aroma.

The ability to detect the chemistry scent of rotten is part of the means of survival of all species. And human knows the threat of death through this odor. Putrescine also has a secondary function as a warning signal. Humans have two reactions, conscious and unconscious, when smell this scent.

An experiment using putrescine, ammonite, and the water was conducted to study human reactions. When performed experiments involving putrescine, a reaction volunteers are away. It was the same response with the trial regarding the run or fight reaction.

When animals feel they are in danger, then the response appears there are only two: fight or flee from the threat. The study revealed the human had the same reaction.

"We do not know why we like (or dislike) the smell of someone, and we usually do not realize how scents affect emotions, preferences, and attitudes," says Wiseman and Shira, as quoted from Lifebuzz. "It's hard to imagine that the aroma turns scary," comments this two leading researchers.

This scent makes people more aware and alert to their surroundings. People tend to avoid confrontation, whether it be verbal or physical. For most people, they choose to abstain until the fight is the only the option to left. During the study, people do not realize they have a negative reaction to the scent. "People do not know about putrescine and unconsciously associate it with the death or fear," says Wisman and Shira. 

What do you think? In my opinion, whatever it is, life and death is not our who decide, but only Almighty God has.. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | LIFEBUZZ]
