Top 10 Engineering Discoveries of All Time

Rhodora Dagatan — Mon, 13 May 2013 13:29:03 +0000

For the past century, the field of engineering has been one with the sciences in unearthing the infinite mysteries of the world. Since the beginning of time, humans have witnessed how the infinite discoveries and technological advancements in various fields have radically changed their lives. Even today, the influence of these discoveries is still felt—from the appliances that people use inside their homes to things they see when they get out of their doors. As scientists explore space and human existence, engineers are there to build, design tools and create systems that are necessary to convert knowledge into something tangible and utilizable. Today, the expertise of scientists and engineers continue to be partners in the great quest for understanding the mysteries of existence and making life easy for human beings. Here is a list of the ten greatest discoveries in the field of engineering:

10. Airplane

Also known as aeroplane, an airplane is a fixed-wing aircraft that was discovered by the Wright brothers. Airplanes are propelled forward through their propellers and jet engines and come in different sizes and wing configurations. They are used for the transportation of goods and people, in the military, for recreation and research. Though most airplanes are run by a pilot, there are airplanes today that are especially designed to be controlled by computers and remotes. According to history, the first artificial and self-propelled flying device was invented in 400BC by the Greeks. These flying devices deviated from the airplanes of the 18^th century which featured fixed wings and separate systems for lift, propulsion and control. Modern airplanes have complex flight control systems and contain main controls that help the pilot in controlling the speed, altitude and direction of the flight.

9. Spacecraft

Usually used to refer to a vehicle, vessel or machine that flies in the outer space, a spacecraft is used for a broad range of purposes, such as for communication, meteorology, navigation, planetary and exploration. This type of vehicle enters the space on a sub-orbital flight and normally gets into closed orbits revolving around the Earth or other celestial bodies. Spacecrafts can be used to carry people as crew or passengers while others use robots either for space probes or to support scientific research. By design, most orbital spacecrafts re enter the earth and get divided into non-winged space capsules or winged space planes. The first artificial satellite that was used to probe space was Sputnik 1 and it was launched by the Soviet Union into an elliptical low Earth orbit.

8. Computer

A computer is a device that can be programmed to perform different arithmetic and logical operations. This device consists of a processing element called as the central processing unit (CPU) and a memory. Its CPU is the component that executes the arithmetic and logic operations that are inputted in them. The first computers were electronic digital computers that were developed sometime between 1940 and 1945. These computers were about the size of a spacious room and consumed power that went as much as the power consumed by hundreds of modern personal computers today. Most of the computers that are known today are based on integrated circuits and are more than a billion times more capable than the earliest computers. They are small enough to fit mobile devices such as mobile phones and industrial robots. Also, they occupy just a small fraction of the space occupied by the first electronic digital computers.

7. Automobile

An automobile or a car is a wheeled motor vehicle that is primarily used in the transportation of goods and people. It carries its own engine or motor and is designed to run on roads. A typical modern automobile has four wheels and has a seating for about one to eight people. It is estimated that today, the number of automobiles around the world today is about one billion and continues to increase rapidly, particularly in highly populated nations such as China and India. In 1672, the first steam-powered vehicle was designed and built by a man named Ferdinand Verbiest. His discovery was just about 65-cm long car toy that he especially made for the Emperor of China, and it could barely carry a driver or a single passenger. The first full-scale and self propelled automobile was discovered by Nicolas Joseph Cugnot sometime in 1769.

6. Telephone

Known as a telecommunications device that allows people from different vicinities and locations to have conversations, a telephone is an engineering discovery that converts human voice into electronic signals that are suitable for transmission via wires and cables over lengthy distances. Telephones allow these electronic signals to become as audible as possible to the user from the other line. Its name was derived from Greek words tele and phone, which mean far and voice, respectively. The first of its kind was invented in 1876 by renowned scientist Alexander Graham Bell, who made a patented telephone device that allowed people to talk directly with each other even when they are separated by large distances. Today, telephones are considered as one of the most valuable discoveries in the field of engineering because they are indispensable to businesses, households and the government.

5. Air Conditioning

An air conditioner is a major home appliance or mechanism that is especially designed to change the temperature and humidity of a closed area such as a room As its name suggests, it is basically used for cooling and it does this thru a process called refrigeration cycle, though in the cooling of buildings and motor vehicles, the process of evaporation is more common. In the field of construction, air conditioners come as a complete system that can be used for heating, ventilation as well as air conditioning. The concept of air conditioning was first use during the second century, when a Chinese inventor named Ding Huan of the Han Dynasty created a rotary fan to condition the air. This appliance contained seven wheels that were three meters each in diameter. Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, on the other hand, introduced in 747 A.D. water powered fan wheels for air conditioning.

4. Highway

A public road or public way on land, the term highway refers to arterials that are controlled by a state or a provincial agency. The first modern highway systems were developed during the 20^th century, along with the rising popularity of automobiles. The first limited access road was built in 1992 in Italy, while the construction of the first autobahn started in 1929 and was opened three years later in Cologne. The discovery of highways is one of the most important discoveries in the field of engineering as they reduce travel times relative to city or town streets as well as increase the chances for the transportation of people and goods. Modern highways are helpful in the reduction of commute and travel time as well as in the creation of new induced traffic demand.

3. Optical Fibre

Optical fibre is a transparent and flexible fibre that can be made either of glass or plastic. Today, this is known to serve different functions such as a wave guide or a light pipe. The design and application of optical fibres, dubbed as fibre optics, are works of science and engineering. Optical fibres are used these days in fibre optic communications which makes possible the transmission of sounds or signals over long distances through high bandwidths. Optical fibres made of metal wires are also used to carry signal with less loss and to make possible the immunization of electromagnetic interference. They can also be used for illumination to carry images. The principle of fibre optics was first introduced during the 1840s by Daniel Colladon and Jacques Banibet. A man named John Tyndall also demonstrated the first use of optical fibre for public lectures in 1852.

2. Television

Photo Source: http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-13OvYu2EeOQ/UO3o2eVdreI/AAAAAAAAAMU/ck8PQTaSdt4/s1600/old-television.jpg

A television or TV is a telecommunication device that works in the transmission and reception of moving images, whether monochrome or coloured. Its name was derived from Greek words tele and visio, which mean far and sight, respectively. The batch of manufactured televisions became commercially available in the late 1920’s. Since then, they have become common in homes and businesses and are used in advertising, broadcasting and entertainment. The first electromechanical television system was patented in 1884 by a man named Paul Gootlieb Nipkow. This was just about four years after the concept of electrically powered transmission of television images was introduced in America as “telephonoscope.”

1. Internet

A global system of interconnected computer networks, the Internet is a network of networks that is made up of millions of various private and public networks that are linked together through electronic, wireless and optical networking technologies. This carries a broad range of information such as inter-linked hypertext documents. The concept of Internet began in the 1960’s, when research on packet switching was first conducted along with the development of packet switched networks. The term Internet was coined in 1974 to refer to internetworking, which was followed by the introduction of the concept of the Internet Protocol Suite (IPS) in 1982.

Top 10 Mother’s Day Movies

Rhodora Dagatan — Tue, 07 May 2013 06:24:12 +0000

Mother’s Day is fast approaching and all children may now be thinking of the best gift to give to their moms. While giving her a bouquet of roses or a card may be a sound idea, one cannot deny the fact that roses and cards are generally a piece of a cliché. And while it is quite typical for moms to receive cards and roses on special occasions, there is a huge tendency for them to deem such gifts more of unremarkable than exceptional. Giving them material gifts may also be a good idea, but not all sons and daughters have enough in their pockets to afford items that their moms can surely appreciate. If you are looking for inexpensive ways to make Mother’s Day extra special, renting a DVD and watching a movie together with your mom and the rest of the family could be the best option you have. Aside from the fact that it is easy on the pocket, it is out of the ordinary since it is not every day that family members get to have some quality time together. Here is a list of the ten best movies to watch on Mother’s Day:

10. Mother India (1957)

Top 10 Advertisements for Super Bowl 2013

Rhodora Dagatan — Mon, 04 Feb 2013 10:36:07 +0000

Super Bowl XLVII has just been over with the Baltimore Ravens beating the San Francisco 49ers leading 3 points with 34. But as the blackouts, the halftime numbers, and the touchdowns have been included in the pages of NFL history, the ads still find itself a place in many American homes, with consumers still being attracted with the products presented. Just what are the top 10 advertisements for Super Bowl 2013 that would make you laugh, think, and buy? Check the list for yourself and think of the dogs, the cars, the babes, and even the mobile wars all over again.

10. Full Library Action

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ufu5sqJh24Q

So, lemee ask you? What’s the best part of an Oreo cookie? Is it the cream or the cookie? This Super Bowl ad was so creatively made that you’ll just have to laugh of how a simple disagreement has been turned to total chaos, while no shouts, no screams, no loud noise was heard. If you have just noticed, the setting’s inside a library so everyone just have to shut their mouths up and not making noise. Imagine all the bashing, the hitting, and the beating with voices that are as loud as careful whispers. Oh you just have to laugh hard at the effort everyone’s showing.

9. Going Places

Toyota has indeed made things “Let’s Go Places” quite literal in this Super Bowl ad, thanks to a Rav4 Genie that appeared after rubbing the car. The wishes have been kinda funny with everything staring at the old spare tire gone. Everything else after that became wild with talking squirrels, eating as many chocolates as possible, with a daughter playing princess a la Joanne of Arc, and a son that went to space with the family car. So, are you going places?

8. The Next Big Thing?

Samsung is trying to be funny in this Super Bowl ad by actually stating “Super Bowl” is a trademarked word and that it can never be mentioned. The same also applies with San Francisco 49ers and the Baltimore Ravens. Though some may not even relay to what people meant with “San Francisco 50 minus 1ers” or the “Baltimore Black Birds”, you may get the joke of the whole thing if you could remember Apple suing Samsung for the many things that was deemed as trademark infringement. So what’s the next big thing? It wasn’t LeBron James, that’s for sure!

7. Epic Playdate

So what will you do when you got hands of the new 2013 Hyundai Santa Fe with you and six other kids? Will you be having the epic play date of your lives that you will go places, do different things, and explore new experiences? The new seven-seater can take you places with its dependable performance that boosts speed, maneuverability, and style, all in one tough family car.

6. One Video Game Preview

Of the many Super Bowl ads that have been included in this list, this is the only one thing that’s set for showing video games being previewed. As many of you know, God of War has already been a successful game franchise ever since it was first seen for PlayStation 2. Now that Ascension is to be released with its single player and multiplayer modes, one cannot simply fathom the excitement and the beauty with a video ad that’s just full of emotion and feeling. One really has to be anxious of seeing this game in PS3.

5. The Chase

Of all the things you would expect to see in a hot and scorching desert, who could never imagine a huge bottle of sweating, cold Coca Cola? It was so huge that the cowboys, the showgirls, and even the badlanders are all vying to reach the thirst-quenching treat first, leaving the Arabian guy behind the action. Aside from this video, you could see other versions of it where the three groups had their own setbacks, which made the chase a lot more thrilling.

4. The Deal

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oPNr0_6MnDo

Who would not like to have the all-new CLA class from Mercedes-Benz? Oh, you would want to have it even if you do not have an idea of whom you will make a deal with. You may not even realize that with everything that comes with the car, you have made a deal with the devil himself, selling your soul in the process. But thanks to a sweet financial deal that’s easy on the pocket, you do not have to drag yourself in hell for something you can actually afford. Sweet!

3. The Clydesdales Tearjerker

And you thought that Budweiser commercials are all about tough boys, hot babes, and a whole lot of booze. But this 2013, you could see a rare ad making all the boys cry with a drama between a man and a horse that has established a brotherhood through the years. This is no major movie flick but the action and the emotion is just so tense that you will never believe your eyes that this ad has been made convincingly real.

2. Bravery Wins!

Do you actually know how it feels like to go to a prom with no date whatsoever? Most guys would just shy out, but when you have a set of wheels that would just boost your ego over hundreds of times, nothing could just stand in the way; especially when you are handed an Audi S6 that belongs to a believing dad. Imagine how a boosted morale would affect a hopeless romantic at first, taking risks like parking on the Principal’s space, kissing a total stranger, getting beat up with no sign of regrets, and going away from it all, feeling happy and satisfied. So will you be brave enough with a neat car? Hell Yeah!

1. Happy!

Some have deemed this commercial to be racist because of seeing a white man speaking Jamaican. However, as you see the ad and just watch the whole thing, you will find it funny that such a person with a very unique ethnic combination is so full of good vibes. Yeah! Just good vibes everywhere! The video is so good that you cannot just help but be affected with the contagious feeling and finish the ad smiling also. Oh and don’t forget to include the happy folks as you ride the latest Volkswagen Beetle.

Top 10 Famous Singer Lip Syncing Fiascos

Rhodora Dagatan — Mon, 28 Jan 2013 18:27:34 +0000

Lip-syncing by singers and certain personalities in TV shows or promo tours are certainly becoming a norm these days, knowing that it does not affect much of their career whether they just play along the recordings and make themselves physically present. However, when it involves events that are of valuable significance, such as Super Bowl, the Presidential Inauguration, or a boxing match that represents a country to the rest of the world, then this activity is not really recommended to do. Although such a warning may be crucial for their profession, these top 10 famous singer lip synching fiascos only tell how lax or unprofessional they could be with important appearance.

10. Milli Vanilli

Back in the late 1980s, Milli Vanilli was a famous singing duo that had taken the airwaves, which eventually made Fab Morvan and Rob Pilatus win a prestigious Grammy Award, along with some American Music Awards due to their performance. However, all of this success came to a ruin when they performed a “live” show on MTV back in 1989 singing the song “Girl You Know It’s True”. Though you have to admit that it was a very catchy song, people who have viewed the video was surprised to see that the song skipped, obviously indicating a recording, which made the phony act exposed to the public.

9. Jennifer Hudson

Singing the National Anthem at Super Bowl indeed deserves a lot of attention and preparation, with little or no margin for errors and mistakes. Because of meeting such expectations, most recording artists, including producers of the show, are suggesting of creating recordings to make sure that nothing goes wrong. Although this was the same arrangement made for Jennifer Hudson back in 2009, things became very harsh for her, especially since it was never her preference to sing recorded in the first place. What’s even worse is that it was her first time to sing after three weeks since three of her family members have been murdered.

8. Ashlee Simpson

Of all the places to flop a live performance, Ashlee Simpson was not expecting to make things miserable during Saturday Night Live on NBC. From the title of the show, everyone who watched it expected that all they would hear are live music rendered by some of the best artists in the industry. Simpson could have been one of them if the recording did not show the singer’s deceiving act. After she sang “Pieces of Me” together with the band, the same song played again, this time, the camera caught her making an awkward face. This can be deemed as torture set to her on national TV.

7. Lindsay Lohan

Things did not start right for Lindsay Lohan the first time she debuted as a singer. In fact, if you have seen her perform in Good Morning America where she just let loose, not worrying if the show is being broadcasted across the US with over millions of people watching. To make her first experience even special, she lip synced her way out of the production while looking all drunk and wasted at the early part of the day.

6. 50 Cent

Oh he is definitely one of the noted icons when it comes to song and rap, but 50 Cent’s act during the BET Awards back in 2007 was just too much for him. He was supposed to sing the “Amusement Park” as his special song number, but something went wrong with the recording. Instead, the acoustic version was played, which was quite unexpected, ruining his night of fame in front of so many people. Because of the fiasco, he just wandered all over the stage, looked for his peers, also discretely searching for his pre-recorded voice, and eventually ended the act with promoting his sponsors.

5. Miley Cyrus

Everyone had seen Miley go through the climb on her career from being an actor in Disney’s Hannah Montana to taking the real singing stage, taking the world with one hit song after another. But as much as she had been adept with playing her roles on TV, just imagine how ordinary it was for her to lip sync and mime. What’s even worse, there have been sightings where she even has a buddy double that performs for her while she spends time backstage de-stressing and changing costumes. She was even named as a world-class faker by many of the viewers who have seen her unprofessional way of dealing with her shows.

4. Britney Spears

Lip syncing for someone as versatile and as agile as Britney could never be thought of as obvious since her voice sounded shaky, while obviously dancing on stage. However, as she grew a bit older in the industry, even bearing children over the years, she has now slowed down with her dancing moves no longer as jumpy. Her lip-synching can now be detected on most of her tours and shows, with Circus in 2009 being the most recent.

3. Beyonce

Just recently, the world had witnessed the inauguration of President Barack Obama for his second term, after beating Governor Mitt Romney during the elections back in November. Beyonce was included in the program to sing the National Anthem, at an event that can be considered of great importance to the American people, all over the world. Just like in most events, the production staff were prompted to record Beyonce’s voice during the rehearsal and have it used on the actual day of the event. Everything could have been fine and done away, except for the fact that there were people on the stand that saw how she got through the very nerve-wracking event. Her solution? She just synced things away and everything was done.

2. Madonna

It is known for a fact that Madonna had been famous in the pop music scene since the 1980s that it is even surprising that she’s still active in her career, acting as if she never aged a bit. But thanks to observant eyes and reliable video cameras that can clearly capture images in distant points, people have seen how “the material girl” act her way into singing, which was never funny to begin with. Elton John even blew her cover during an awards night in the UK.

1. Michael Jackson

The King of Pop is obviously one hell of a guy when performing in his concerts and tours, especially with choreography that’s just too hard to follow. But with such level of entertainment seen on stage, would you even wonder why his voice is still pure despite of the hard breathing, the heavy dancing, and all that spinning? It should not be too hard to detect that there are some parts of his shows where he is found lip-syncing.

The song tells about some of the beliefs of the Christian faith.

Things even became worse when families and relatives actually came to share that special time of the year. Just watch the disaster and you will roll on the floor laughing.

6. The Muppet Christmas Carol

As you mention the Muppets and think of Jim Henson, which the kids do not know much anymore, the one thing that comes to mind is his puppets that made way into the hearts and the homes of the children back in the 80s and 90s. With The Muppets Christmas Carol being shown in the big screen by Walt Disney Pictures, you will see a classic tale that has the twist of having muppets like Kermit the Frog, Miss Piggy, Gonzo, and others get into the life of Ebenezer Scrooge and seeing the Christmas Carol being stuffed with singing puppets all throughout the movie.

Joyeux Noel is not the common kind of Christmas movie that your kids would see during the holidays. However, if you want to share a lesson with them about the true spirit of the season, even during the face of World War I, then it is advised to have them sit with you and share some thoughts or two. You will come to witness a miracle that actually happened in France where opposing forces decided to have a ceasefire and remember their relationships as brothers in the sight of God, as they celebrate Christmas in the most unlikely of places and situations.

4. Miracle on 34th Street

Do you believe in Santa Clause? There may be skeptics that think this famous character during Christmas season is nothing but a story that plays with kids’ imaginations that makes them believe of being nice in order to have presents. While there is no question to the optimism of the children and the skepticism of the adults with this subject, “Miracle on 34^th Street” is the movie to make ends meet. You would even see how a certain “Santa” in New York was sentenced for bringing up a lie and miraculously proves the truth in a special way.

3. The Nightmare Before Christmas

Jack Skellington is a special person that lives in a place where no Christmas has been celebrated before as it is the place where every day is Halloween, where all the scare, the fright, and the horror is. There is no need to fear with Nightmare Before Christmas as you will come to see how someone who lived in a scary world sees the color, the fun, and the festive spirit of Christmas, and how some ghosts and ghouls possibly ruined the occasion. Good thing this has been made in a 3D art format. Otherwise, it could have never passed as a movie for kids to see.

2. Scrooge

This movie may be considered really really old as it was shown more than half a century ago, but this has been the motion picture where most Christmas movies have been adapted. Have you asked how Ebenezer Scrooge was like in the 1950s and if he was just as bad as modern directors and producers would depict him? Why did he even think of Christmas as a Humbug? All of that can be answered as you watch this traditional classic.

1. A Christmas Story

Have you asked kids of what the Spirit of Christmas is all about? If you have seen them being too absorbed with gadgets, new toys, clothes, food, and more things to spend money with, then you may need to have kids see this movie and remind them of the true reason for the season. Seeing the Christmas Story would bring you to laugh in seeing Christmas as it is meant to be, the American Way.

3. Les Misérables

Stage theatre fans have loved Les Miserables due to the story that has absorbed viewers into feeling 19^th century France and stage actors that have given life and color to various characters with dance, with song, with movement, and with feelings expressed in such a powerful way. But how does this stage play looks like in a seemingly real-life setting? Thanks to Tom Hooper who had brought Les Miserables to life, viewers of the new generation will now experience this epic play like never before. And even with actors such as Russell Crowe, Anne Hathaway, Hugh Jackman, Amanda Seyfried, and Sacha Baron Cohen included in the lineup, there is so much to expect to see if the movie rendition has done justice to what it should really be like, an encounter of masterpiece.

2. The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey

Back in the old days when the first Lord of the Rings movie was viewed, The Fellowship of the Rings, you could remember that a certain Bilbo Baggins spoke to Frodo about the tale of one ring that rules everything.

He was a hobbit that had a quest that determines the destiny of Middle Earth, while taking everything as mere adventure with the dwarves in reclaiming the Dwarf Kingdom of Erebor. Little did many know that he would come across the ring that would change his fate forever…

1. Zero Dark Thirty

Just what is this movie and The Hobbit just comes in second? If you are to watch a motion picture that gives the you detail of how the US Navy SEALS have found the trail of Al Qaeda leader Osama Bin Laden, then definitely you will throw everything aside and just immerse yourself in the search for one of the world’s most wanted terrorist out there. The 9/11 event was a mystery and the guys that are supposed to lead the trail have been destroyed together with the World Trade Center. So just how were they able to find him? This is the question that would make you watch this movie with awe and wonder. What’s better is that Kathryn Bigelow and Mark Boal, both associated with Best Picture “The Hurt Locker” are responsible for making this movie worth watching.
