Here she is the newest electric truck concept from Mercedes-Benz

Mercedes-Benz began to look at the electrical energy to drive its commercial vehicles. Then the Stuttgart-based automotive giant embodies a concept of environmentally friendly commercial vehicles in the figure of Urban eTruck.

The renowned German car maker is planned to introduce Urban eTruck at the IAA Commercial Vehicle in Hannover, Germany. As quoted of Motor1, the truck has become a logistics solution at close range because the ability of the 212 kWh battery capacity at Urban eTruck now only 200 kilometers (124 miles).

The electric motors were embedded on this truck generates maximum power up to 335 horsepower with a torque of 1,000 Nm and can be tailored to the needs of the driver. Mercedes-Benz has a desire to be able to provide a large selection of modular batteries according to the needs of transport companies.

So that truck owners could order a smaller battery for the shorter distance. Therefore, there are two slots and just by adding the batteries alone when the truck will be traveling long distances..

Mercedes-Benz working on Urban eTruck with the similar design language of Vision Van concept. Both of these commercial vehicles looks accentuate rounded corners with a more traditional style combined modern accents on the slanted-styled LED headlamp.
Uniquely, the Mercedes-Benz designers also pair the large trapezium grill on the front although the truck is running with the electric motors. Indeed, this grill will be look better suited when mounted on conventional trucks that use a diesel engine. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | MOTOR1]

There is a 'terrible power' under the surface of Lake Toba

Around 74,000 years ago, a supervolcano or erupted, and killing about 60 percent of the Earth's inhabitants at the time. The supervolcano like that until now still has the potential to cause dramatic eruptions that can affect globally. However, the exact cause of the volcano can erupt so earthshaking still largely unknown. 
Behind the beauty of Lake Toba, there is a sleeping giant underneath. The scientists have used the remnants of the ancient eruption there, 74,000 years ago, to learn more about these natural disasters. (Picture from: http://adf.ly/1eD9XL)
But now, armed with traces of ancient eruptions, the scientists managed to uncover the causes of these terrible natural disasters. Ivan Koulakov and colleagues from the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences researching an underground area that is now Lake Toba, in North Sumatera, Indonesia. By using the seismic data, Koulakov sure that's where the ancient supervolcano located.

"The latest super eruption at Toba, which occurred 74,000 years ago, is regarded as the largest volcanic eruption in the universe of the Pleistocene era," the researchers said.

"The eruption spewed a huge volume of material, such as solid rocks which has the estimated volumes of 2,800 up to 5,300 cubic kilometers," added Koulakov.
The new model revealed a system of complex, multilevel tunnels of magma reaching down to depths of over 93 miles (150km). At a depth of around 93 miles (150 km), gases and 'basic melts' - melted rock low in silicon dioxide - are generated. (Picture from: http://adf.ly/1eD9XL)
Koulakov and his team want to find out why the supervolcano can release giant-sized materials. In addition, they also want to know why there was a long pause between the supervolcano eruptions.

To learn how to work these volcanoes, Koulakov and his team developed a model based on seismic data. By using the model, they found that the supervolcano is controlled by a very large magma reservoir. These reservoirs keep tucked away deep magma beneath the crust thickness up enough pressure to create a very powerful eruption.
The researchers found supervolcanoes may be controlled by large, dense magma reservoirs. These reservoirs keep the magma stored away beneath a thick overlying crust until an eruption takes place. (Picture from: http://adf.ly/1eD9XL)
Through the created model, Koulakov shows magma intricate system of canals and terraced to a depth of more than 93 miles (150 kilometers). At that depth, gas and other basic melt is produced. The gas and melt it then rose to a depth of 75 km and create huge magma reservoir. And when it reaches a critical pressure caused by trapped gases and molten, magma reservoir began to be emptied and the bulk will go up through the crust. 

The Toba supervolcano is not the only one in which the magma reservoirs have been discovered underneath. The same structure is also found under the Yellowstone, in the United States. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | DAILY MAIL]

Bajaj will launch 450 and 550 cc engined classic big bikes. Of the two products, the 550 cc engined motorcycle will be a rival to Royal Enfield Classic 500.

As quoted from Shifting-Gears, a number of the latest technology will also be applied to the big bikes. However, no detailed explanation of what form these products including technical data regarding the drivetrain.

Regardless, Bajaj seems to be working hard to rival Royal Enfield, a player who's been longer present ie since 1893. Royal Enfield today launched many models of classic modern motorcycles with the style of cafe racer, cruiser, retro street, standard street, as well as himalayan.

Nearly 86% of people should change their horoscopes, if there are thirteen zodiac now

During this time people know there are twelve zodiac signs, ie Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, and Pisces. It was based on the ancient  Babylonians calculation at 3,000 years ago, in which the calculation result was grouped into twelve zodiac.

Each zodiac is represented by the constellations that will pass the Sun at different points when the Earth travels around the star. But according to NASA, the ancient Babylonians has outsmarted the constellation.

The Sun is actually not pass through each constellation consistently with the time vary widely. According to the NASA, actually the ancient Babylonians know that there are the 13rd constellation named Ophiuchus, but not inserted because it is not aligned with their calendar.

NASA posted it in a scientific articles intended for children. However, later emerged the fray. The US space agency was touted change the zodiac, from 12 to 13. If that is true, then 86 percent of the Earth's population will change the horoscope.

But NASA has denied the accusation. "Have you recently heard that NASA had replaced the zodiac? No, we do not do it," wrote the US space agency was in Tumblr.

"Here at NASA, we learn astronomy, not astrology. We do not replace any of the zodiac, we just did the math. Astrology is another thing. It's not a science. There was nothing to indicate that astrology can be used to predict the someone's future or personality based on date of birth," said NASA as quoted of Inverse on Wednesday, September 21, 2016.

If that's true there are 13 zodiac, let's check the changes of horoscopes:
