According to Wikia, Barricade is apparently a complicated robot. He's considered "fractious" even by Decepticon standards, yet is willing to give Starscream the benefit of the doubt and follow where he leads, at least for the time being. 

Though not totally dedicated to the service of the Decepticons' current leader, he is much more cautious and reserved about expressing mutinous dissent than say most. Not different as in the previous movies, Barricade disguised as a police car. Barricade are now for the first time using the sixth generation of the Ford Mustang.

It appeared with the exterior dominated by the color of black and the new face of the sixth generation Ford Mustang also added by metal horns in the front and air scoop on the hood to make its appearance becomes more virulent. As well as through its muscular body as part of the bulging fenders.
As we all knew, Transformers are the movies with god-level digital effects and familiar with the automobile. Almost all the robot characters are played was hidden in the form of motorized objects. And the "Transfromer: The Last Knight" movie will premiere on June 23, 2017.. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | MOTOR1]

This is the Vespa's real Terror

Modifying the Vespa scooter with the after-market components, such as Malossi or Polini are common and easy to do. But even become very different when viewed the modifications made by Marek Nachlik of Hamburg. Well, an unusual thing, in which he pinned an engine which is taken out of the Husqvarna WR 360 on his legendary Italian scooter.

As all we knew, the 1982 Vespa Sprint 150 for example which is usually slow, even its front brake was never used because the scooter can not be invited to run. One more thing for sure when cornering to the right while lying down is impossible can be done.

Perhaps that is why Marek then decided to replace the original engine with engines belonging to the Husqvarna dirt bike. Liquid-cooled two-cycle engine with a capacity of 348.8 cc once used by WR 360 for the production model from 1998 to 2000. To be pinned on a scooter, the machine must be completely overhauled, and finally coated with Dutch Powerseal.

Because actually, this Husqvarna machine should be installed in an upright position and then Marek outsmart by tilted the engine 45 degrees forward, in addition to in order to better handling, especially when cornering, but also for better weight distribution.

Moving to the rear wheel is no longer uses a single-sided right now, but it uses the swing arm of Yamaha XS400, as well as Honda Comstar rim. Uniquely its rear shock mounted under the deck, like the Buell motorcycle. To stop the pace of Vespa which has a nicknamed "Ten inch Terror" then Marek installed a custom made front disc brake and rear brake system adopted from Honda CB750.

But for engine cooling systems, it seems there is no more appropriate place, because Marek put the radiator below the deck just behind the front wheel. To be honest it was a risky move. Do you have a better idea for the placement of this radiator?

To strengthen the framework of all the body parts reinforced with steel pipe of 10 cm. The tank is placed in the front glove box, so it needs to be mixed with the Hardi's fuel pump to supply fuel to the engine. While exhaust using a product of Mark Rentzmann (Pipe Design, Bremen).
Electricity was not spared from change, Marek use MotoGadget's ECU as his scooter's electricity control center. Look at the result now, an Italian legendary scooter with a weight of 145 kg that is capable of generating the power up to 55 horsepower and 45 Nm of torque, making it worthy uses the name of Terror.

The findings of new fossil may ended the Flores Hobbit debates

The fossils found on Flores Island, East Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia, may be able to resolve one of the mysteries in the science of anthropology, the descent of the superb short human species called "the Hobbits."

The scientists on Wednesday, June 8, 2016, describes the bone fragments and teeth about 700,000 years old found in an ancient riverbed known as the Soa basin (Cekungan Soa) in Mata Menge, which apparently belonged to an extinct Hobbit species.

This species was previously known only from fossils and stone tools from Liang Bua cave with the ages ranging from 190,000 to 50,000 years. The species, called Homo floresiensis, has a height of about 106 centimeters, with a small brain such as chimpanzees.

These new fossils "strongly indicates" that the Hobbit evolved from the human species Homo erectus-bodied and big-brained that lives in Asia and has become extinct, said Yousuke Kaifu of a paleontropolog of the National Museum of Nature and Science in Tokyo.

Homo erectus, which first appeared in Africa about 1.9 million years ago, is known from a number of old fossils 1.5 million to 150,000 years old from Java, and the new fossils from Flores it has in common with them, said Gerrit van den Bergh, a paleontologist from the University of Wollongong, Australia.

Fossils including teeth four adults and two baby teeth, a jaw bone and a skull fragment from two children and one or two adults who may be killed in a volcanic eruption. They were found in an excavation in the meadows around 70 kilometers from the caves where the bones of the Hobbit was first discovered in 2003.

The size of the jaw bones indicate that the individual was even slightly lower than that found in the cave.

Stone tools that were previously found to indicate that the large man of Hobbit ancestors reached Flores million years ago, indicating that species to shrink over 300,000 years of evolution.

"Now it seems to be seen that the 'hobbit' Homo erectus Flores was shortened," said Adam Brumm, an archaeologist of Griffith University, Australia. The research published in the journal Nature.

Size reduction that occurs in many species generation of larger mammals, such as elephants, which somehow reached new island habitat called "the island rule," driven by the limited food resources in the islands.

Brumm said the 700,000 years old fossils were erased the claims of some scientists that the Hobbit is a member of our species with a medical condition that makes them small. Homo sapiens first appeared in Africa about 200,000 years ago.

Characteristics of these fossils do not support the idea that the hobbit evolved from a more ancient humans such as Homo habilis or Australopithecus, according to the researchers. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | VOA NEWS]

As the world's racing regulator, FIA had positive moves. On July 1, 2016 will be decided whether the cockpit of F1 cars require protective. There are two protective models that being tested by the F1 teams, namely Halo by Ferrari and Aeroscreen of Red Bull. However, what if the answers to the safety of riders is not on both.

A car concept came from Alfa Romeo, a former of F1 constructor and engine supplier in 1950-1988. Through the creative hands of a Turkish designer named Olcay Tuncay Karabulut, who has created a virtual design of F1 cars with protective cockpit called AW30.

As shown in the figure, the design looks more aerodynamic than the F1 cars that exist today. The driver's head is protected by a section that looks like glass or transparent plastic similar to Aeroscreen. This such designs may need wipers to swept the water.
