Beautiful all wood-bodied Jeep

Jeep usually use body is made of steel. This is consistent with the character of the vehicle is made to be able to devour all terrains, thus requiring strong material. But what if a Jeep apparently made of wood? This wood-bodied Jeep CJ might not be as tough as its steel-bodied counterparts.

As quoted by the Road and Track on Thursday, June 16, 2016, a beautiful wood-bodied Jeep appears and looks all parts of the body is replaced with wood, even the seats also replaced the wood. Inside the car, the steering wheel is still original and likewise with the transmission lever on the car.

But it is unclear where this car came from. There's not much in the way of a description on either the Youtube video, but it appears to be the work of someone who ran the website called Cherrybronco.com. 

Apparently, a man named Jack built beautiful wood bodies for Jeeps and Ford Broncos, though his website has since gone down. The woodworking here appears to be top-notch, so we'd love to see it in person. Mystery aside, you should still just seen this masterpiece works through the video below:

From the video, the plate says 1960 and I guess this Jeep won't rust like the rest of them. 

Not only Jack, the wooden cars also even made by Toyota. As we all knew, Toyota has introduced a wooden concept car named Setsuna some time ago. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | EWILLYS | R&T]

As quoted of TechTimes, the places which in prehistoric times there is a shallow salt water lake where the ancient animals often get stuck. The lake is also very good for preserving fossils.

Luis Cordoba, an archaeologist from the National Institute of Anthropology and History, said The most current find, which is the Tultepec mammoth, was found buried 2 meters underneath a village street. When the mammoth was discovered, the tusks were still attached to its skull, and the skeleton was nearly complete and well-preserved. Cordoba estimated that the mammoth died between the ages of 20 and 25.

There are mammoth elephant fossils found in the Tultepec area, "but this is the first time they can be studied considering that generally the citizens do not report the discovery in a timely manner," said Cordoba.

The mammoth has a height of 3.5 meters, five meters long, weighing about five tons when alive, and aged 20-25 years. Tultepec Mammoth, which is already three quarters complete and well preserved, still has tush attached to the skull.

However, other fossil remains had not in accordance with the order of the anatomy, said Cordoba, it indicates that the mammoths had been cut by humans for their meat and skins. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | TECHTIMES]

Sightings a tiny Human-like figure on Mars, Alien or...

More than a decade ago, the odd skeleton measuring 6 inches (15 cm) was found in the Atacama Desert, Chile. The small skeleton, believed to be an extraterrestrial creature who visited and stranded on Earth. Recently, an alien researcher on the Internet, said it had found a mysterious creature, thought to have come from the same species as those Chilean tiny creature.

According to a statement by a Youtube user Paranormal Crucible, quoted by the Daily Mail on Saturday, June 25, 2016, he claimed to see the alien shaped like a tiny human being, behind the Martian rocks.

The original sighting image was taken by Curiosity Rover Mastcam, that showing rocks in the landscape of the red planet. When observed closely, at the bottom center of the photo, Paranormal Crucible find something strange and awkward.

"Irregularities interesting discovered by Rover, looks like a tiny human or Martian lilliputian," wrote Paranormal Crucible in his Facebook account.

"I tried coloring the picture and adding eyes on the head to make it more easily recognizable. They are evident on the original image. To me, those mysterious figure looks like a 6 inches tall Atacama alien," he said.

There are allegations that the little mysterious figure is a Martian woman, if viewed from the 'body'.

An editor of UFOSightings Daily, Scott C. Waring also commented about the sightings of 'living' and 'shrinking' Martian species.

"The figure who looks like a man peering out from behind the rocks. Of the image, I could see the chest, shoulders, arms, knees, and feet," said Waring.

"I agree with the opinion of Paranormal Crucible, which said that the creature measuring 6 inches tall and one of the species that still exist on Mars today, only in smaller quantities. Mars increasingly reveal its mystery one by one," said the editor.

Due to the estimated size, Paranormal Crucible says it 'could be the same species' as the 'Atacama alien.' In 2013, however, it was revealed that DNA tests on the tiny skeleton found in Chile confirmed that the bizarre specimen was not an alien, but a human with an 'interesting mutation'.

However, according to the results of DNA tests conducted in 2013 on the Chilean tiny creature's skeleton, reveals that the creature is in fact not an alien, but a small human figure who had experienced an interesting mutation. (See the article.) *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | DAILY MAIL]

He wanted the 2006 Honda Tiger that belonged to him changed dramatically into a different and unique figure. After making modifications in Workshop BIM and Zoel Garage located at Jl. Tanjung Rema Ruko No. 04, Martapura, it gives birth to the figure of a futuristic black colored motorcycle with a little touch of café racer.

On Mars, the vegetables can grow and safe to eat

For every astronaut who has the hope to live on Mars, growing the food crops in arid soil of the red planet is one of the important things in order to meet the needs of their life there. Currently, the researchers have shown that growing vegetables in the Martian soil may be to do. Not only that, the food is also safe for human consumption.

Tests have shown the crops (radishes pictured) were safe to eat as they had not absorbed the heavy metals found in Martian soils. It suggests astronauts could safely farm and grow their own food in a colony on Mars. (Picture from: http://adf.ly/1bcPBI)

Scientists at Wageningen Univeristy, the Netherlands, was able to harvest 10 plants in soil that is similar to the characteristics of Martian soil with abundant results, including radishes, peas, tomatoes, lettuce, arugula, and rye.

Based on trial results, these plants do not contain heavy metals up to dangerous levels. This indicates, future astronauts are likely to emulate the work done by Mark Whatney (played by Matt Damon) in 'The Martian' movie who managed to grow plants on Mars.

Scientists have shown that crops grown in soil simulating that found on the surface of Mars (Weiger Wamelink inspects plants in the picture) are safe to eat. Although they have yet to actually try the vegetables themselves, they found they had not absorbed the toxic heavy metals found in Martian soil. (Picture from: http://adf.ly/1bcPBI)

Although not use land that comes directly from Mars, the researchers mix multiple types of soil Earth that resemble what is found on the red planet. Wieger Wamelink, an ecologist at Wageningen University said the results of their tests superb and very promising.

"We really can eat radishes, peas, wheat, and tomatoes, and I am very curious what it's like," said Wamelink.

Researchers grew 10 vegetables and cereal crops, including peas (pictured) in soils designed to simulate the surface of the Moon and Mars. They found while the Moon crops struggled, those in the Martian soil flourished as well as those on Earth. (Picture from: http://adf.ly/1bcPBI)

As quoted from the Daily Mail on Sunday, June 26, 2016, the researchers cultivate these plants in a greenhouse with temperature, humidity, and constant light like on Mars, but still use the Earth's atmosphere.

"This was done because we hope that the first plants to grow on Mars and the Moon will be done in the underground to protect the plant from a hostile environment, including cosmic radiation," said Wamelink.

NASA and other international space agencies hope to send humans to Mars in 2030 in the long term. And Elon Musk, one of US famous billionaires and the Dutch company Mars One, also plans to create a colony on the red planet.

Therefore, Mars settlers in future are expected to meet the basic needs of their own, one of which grow the vegetables. It is a challenge, because the Martian soil known to contain heavy metals, such as lead, arsenic, and mercury. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | DAILY MAIL]
