These cool unmanned motorcycles will took over the Police duties in the future

The unmanned motorcycle concepts have been developed to take over the jobs of traffic police in the future. One of these advanced motorcycles named Interceptor that can be raced riderless 24/7.

Interceptor is a motorcycle concept developed by a design specialist company named Imaginactive founded by Charles Bombardier. According to CNN, this unmanned motorcycles will soon be produced in the near future.

"It is merely a natural evolution of technology," said Bombardier.

Then he claimed that the idea of ​​designing unmanned motorcycles for police duties was inspired by the technologies that are already available on the market. One of them, he said, is a camera that has been used in various products for many years.

"But with the development of unmanned technology, we can now find new solutions to the basic needs of the public, including public safety," he said.

Bombardier said furthermore, Interceptor itself will be driven by electricity. The unmanned motorcycle will work for 24/7, by utilizing the advanced camera technology to record the vehicles that violate traffic rules, then scan their license plate, and automatically send a ticket via email and short messages.

According to Bombardier, these concept will be able to create the world's cities safer and more efficient. Later, only with one police officer could supervise five Interceptor units, and the police no longer need to spend time to crack down the naughty drivers and divert resources to another important matters.
The Brigade is the Interceptor's more retro-looking counterpart designed by Brazilian designer Eduardo Arndt who also working with Bombardier. (Picture from: http://adf.ly/1glyx4)
Besides the earlier Interceptor concept, there's another unmanned motorcycle concepts with retro-looking designed by a Brazilian designer Eduardo Arndt named The Brigade. According to its designer, the figure of this concept is inspired by the geometric simplicity of racing motorbikes from the 1980s.
"But these unmanned vehicles need large investment. We need at least about 5 million US dollars to develop it, so it would need to be financed by a government organization," he said so.

Kept spur your adrenaline on the power of two-wheeled monster and stay alive with the true safety riding. May God will forgive Your sins and so does the cops.... ••• [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | IMAGINACTIVE | CNN]

Ferrari SP275 RW Competizione: The One-Off Supercar

Singular Icon - When people talk about cars that go beyond being just a mode of transportation, Ferrari always finds its way into the conversation. The Italian brand has a reputation for crafting machines that are as much about emotion and design as they are about speed. Every now and then, Ferrari goes a step further by creating a one-off masterpiece, a car built only once for a very special client. One such creation is the Ferrari SP275 RW Competizione, a car that blurs the line between history and modern engineering.

This unique model was built for Rick Workman, a Ferrari enthusiast from Florida, and it’s unlike anything else on the road. The SP275 RW Competizione takes its foundation from the F12 Berlinetta, but Ferrari’s designers and engineers transformed it into something with its own identity. Its exterior pays homage to the legendary 1964 Ferrari 275 GTB/C Speciale, with design cues that nod to the past while still feeling fresh today. Painted in a striking shade of yellow, the car immediately grabs attention, while its front and rear bumpers recall the flowing lines of the 275. At first glance, some might even find hints of the Lusso Berlinetta that made waves at the 2015 Geneva Motor Show, thanks to its smoother, cleaner shape.

Ferrari’s design team avoided unnecessary clutter, stripping away extra hood scoops and instead letting the body’s curves speak for themselves. The headlights were chosen carefully too, resembling those seen on the rare Ferrari F60 America. The result is a car that feels both contemporary and timeless, a perfect blend of elegance and aggression

Underneath its sleek surface, Ferrari gave this special model the heart of a true competitor. It carries the same 6.3-liter naturally aspirated V12 found in the F12 TdF. That engine produces a jaw-dropping 769 horsepower and 520 lb-ft of torque, numbers that remind everyone this isn’t just a pretty face. It’s a machine built to thrill, capable of delivering a driving experience that is raw, powerful, and unmistakably Ferrari.

The SP275 RW Competizione has already made appearances beyond private garages. It was shown during Ferrari’s Finali Mondiali, an event that gathers some of the most extraordinary Ferraris ever made, including rarities like the F60 America and the P540 Superfast. Seeing it displayed among such icons highlights just how special this one-off really is. 
Cars like the SP275 RW Competizione don’t just showcase Ferrari’s engineering and design brilliance, they also reflect the brand’s ability to connect history with the present. By combining classic inspiration with cutting-edge performance, Ferrari gave Rick Workman not just a car, but a rolling piece of art that carries the spirit of the prancing horse into the future. It’s proof that sometimes, building just one car can leave a lasting mark on automotive history. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | CARSCOOPS | FERRARICHAT ]

Monkeys are actually able to speak, but...

It is a fairly surprising news; monkeys may have more sophisticated vocal ability than we had expected all along. Allegedly, their vocal tract anatomy is theoretically capable of producing five basic vowel sounds which become the basis for human language. The voices that can be used to form sentences that can be understood.

These findings add to the set of the available evidence, namely that some monkeys and apes can mimic or produce roughly votes required to communicate like they are speaking. As quoted from NewScientist on Wednesday, December 14, 2016, Asif Ghazanfar of Princeton University said, "No one can say now that there is a vocal anatomy problem in the talks of monkeys."

"They have a vocal anatomy, that are ready to speak, but their brain was the one who was not ready for it. We need to find out why the human brain (not the monkey brain) which is then able to produce the languages."

Several previous experiments to find out if the monkey has a vocal device needed to speak depends on the plaster mold of the vocal tract type of macaque monkeys.

Now, Ghazanfar and his colleagues used movies and still images of X-rays of the vocal tract of male long-tailed macaque named Emiliano. With the help of barium-based contrast agents, the scientists created the whole visual profile of Emiliano vocal tract when the monkey was issued various types of sounds and calls.

Through the imaging of the channel when the monkeys were eating and swallowing food, scientists can measure the limits of Emiliano's vocal tract stretching. Of the 99 basic configuration of the channel as their observations, the researchers calculated the sound and frequency of which could theoretically can be produced by the monkeys, then compare it with the sounds produced by the humans vocal tract.

By doing this, they managed to reconstruct the sound if Emiliano say a sentence, such as "Will you marry me?" Here comes a greeting from Emiliano the monkey appropriate computer simulations based on its vocal tract scan:
They also showed that Emiliano has anatomical ability to form five basic sounds that underlie human language. When they project the sound simulation to 10 human volunteers in a row, the volunteers correctly identify the sound simulation, within up to 90-98 percent. Thus, there is a suspicion that if the monkeys were able to make a sound that humans can be recognize it. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | NEW SCIENTIST]

Lego also make the classical model of BMW R60/2

Now, the enthusiasts of classic BMW motorcycles can enjoy the legendary motorcycle BMW R60/2 without having to buy the unit. Because Lego Ideas already made a miniature model of motorcycles are manufactured in 1967.

Interestingly, unlike other miniature vehicles were made using Lego bricks, but these BMW R60/2 motorcycle model looks very similar to the original ones. Due to the Lego Ideas pay strict attention to motorcycle model details.

Call it the triangle fork at front, hand brake lever, tank, engine, as well as BMW's typical seat for the rider and passenger. Even now the Lego Ideas were making the sidecar to add the motorcycle model details.

In addition, a company based in Billund, Denmark, it also makes the R60/2 handlebars can be rotated as well as its side supporter as well. Unfortunately, there is no information when the motorcycle models went on sale and at what price. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | AUTOBLOG]

What will be next after Aventador?

Lamborghini Aventador which was released a few years back actually been more than enough to get people immediately move from the Murcielago.

However, the Italian premium car manufacturer was not immediately satisfied because Lamborghini is almost certainly squeeze more power out of the naturally-aspirated 6,500 cc V12 engine of Aventador.
Few would argue that the Aventador is one of the wildest-looking cars currently on sale. (Picture from: http://adf.ly/1gjKGk)
Soon, Lamborghini Aventador is going to be a car with a purely V12 engine of the Lamborghini, considering the plans of company with the raging bull logo to use a hybrid engine for their next generation supercars.

It's clearly, the Sant Agata-based supercar manufacturer is preparing a variety of changes to the aerodynamics sector, including front and rear bumpers, air intake, as well as all-new diffuser.
And from the teaser video uploaded by Lamborghini some time ago indicated that its V12 engine will also be evolved. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | AUTOCAR]

Mutations make Killifish becoming a super fish

The mutations process make killifish can live in waters full of poison. Scientists reveal that the fish was 8,000 times more resistant to toxins than ordinary fish. This fascinating fact was revealed in a publication in the journal Science on Friday, December 9, 2016.

To reveal the fact, Andrew Whitehead of the University of California, Davis, has collected more than 4,000 Atlantic Killifish that live on the east coast of the United States. These waters are known to contain dioxins, polychloronated biphenyls (PCB), and heavy metals 8,000 times higher than the other waters in general.

Then, Whitehead perform genetic analysis. And, strangeness is revealed. Killifish genes mutate so that a molecular pathway that serves to damage cells deliver signals that exposure to toxins deactivated.

Not only resistant to the toxin, the animals commonly used as ornamental fish also help cleanse toxins from the environment by accumulating in its body. Whitehead said furthermore, that the presence of animals are able to survive in the toxic environment is not always good news.

"Unfortunately, most of the species we preserve may not be able to adapt to the rapid changes because they do not have a genetic variation that allows it to evolve quickly," said Whitehead.

As quoted from Science Alert on Friday, December 8, 2016, Whitehead said that the great genetic variation that allows a species can survive well in line with the process of mutation. Killifish might survive, but not necessarily with the predators. Thus, the survival of killifish just not good news for the environment.. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | SCIENCE ALERT]
