Can you spot the horse hiding in this image?

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">Optical illusions can be really frustrating if you can’t find the object you’re supposed to see. Some just have to stare for a few minutes and easily spot the hidden object. Others, like me, take longer than usual. Most of the time, I give up and just search for the answer online. Then I would feel both relieved and frustrated for not finding it earlier.<br /><br />Like puzzles, optical illusions help us expand our minds, be creative and think critically in different ways. Because it significantly challenges us, it helps us develop problem solving skills. Plus, it’s a real test of patience.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjM3HQDNC2QfKOCwa_ZzrPwD_bw1ZzjVj9lwHoduQbTStXNcE7DpssASJ5G_sOIa2TeFcHi97YOa1iCe8tNN33VZmlLt_tPBDyFkyu5FfvdgO16VTcW0gH3PfqbOwn6TE1RyziyPTbb83XU/s1600/optical-illusion3.jpg" imageanchor="1" rel="nofollow" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="horse hiding frog image" border="0" class="img" data-original-height="461" data-original-width="600" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjM3HQDNC2QfKOCwa_ZzrPwD_bw1ZzjVj9lwHoduQbTStXNcE7DpssASJ5G_sOIa2TeFcHi97YOa1iCe8tNN33VZmlLt_tPBDyFkyu5FfvdgO16VTcW0gH3PfqbOwn6TE1RyziyPTbb83XU/s1600/optical-illusion3.jpg" title="horse hiding frog image" /></a></div><br />Most people who have seen the image don’t have a clue that there are two animals on it.

‘Last Night’ Movie Review: A Dark Take On A Rather Feel-Good Love Story

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><i>*Minor Spoilers Ahead*</i><br /><br />Piolo Pascual and Toni Gonzaga reunite for a brand new film, this time under the tutelage of Bb. Joyce Bernal titled, “Last Night.” Added crowd draw that the film’s treatment is Bella Padilla’s debut work as a screenwriter. A seemingly familiar romantic comedy film on the surface, the movie takes a darker and interesting spin with the introduction of the thriller and paranormal genre kicking of with Mark (Pascual) and Carmina’s (Gonzaga) supposed chance meeting while both are on the midst of committing suicide. The meet-cute in itself is pretty different and a great springboard for the two’s whirlwind romance. <br /><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHfzYz4SJN76zGHFp1LBVrnt6B5C5b4UQsn2eeTB0jaXVwAV1BjbYb1kf3uVZDTk20yQMisbp7aw9buehvhyphenhyphenUZHyo3BfX4yzIONCn9fBNQL-pVLd0feQKz4g-_3uAAFfKqKgC3lHGLnWwC/s1600/piolo-pascual-toni-gonzaga-last-night-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" rel="nofollow" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img alt="Piolo Pascual as Mark and Toni Gonzaga as Carmina in ‘Last Night’" border="0" class="img" data-original-height="900" data-original-width="1600" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHfzYz4SJN76zGHFp1LBVrnt6B5C5b4UQsn2eeTB0jaXVwAV1BjbYb1kf3uVZDTk20yQMisbp7aw9buehvhyphenhyphenUZHyo3BfX4yzIONCn9fBNQL-pVLd0feQKz4g-_3uAAFfKqKgC3lHGLnWwC/s1600/piolo-pascual-toni-gonzaga-last-night-1.jpg" title="Piolo Pascual as Mark and Toni Gonzaga as Carmina in ‘Last Night’" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Piolo Pascual as Mark and Toni Gonzaga as Carmina in ‘Last Night’/Star Cinema</td></tr></tbody></table>First and foremost, the film is shot beautifully. Its various backlighting and scenic locations around old Manila definitely added to the overall viewing experience of watching “Last Night.” The street lamps and old architecture are charming backdrops which made it easy to believe how effortless it is to fall in love and get attached to someone whom you had just met -- especially when there’s already a brewing connection between the two of you. It heightens emotions and definitely pays tribute to the love story that the movie is always meant to be.<br /><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRFdkGt98NanjxxV388ehP27MAQkW6Bs0ftlp6hJ7p-cMKeYkHuy0h9ZIHBA1-Np8I1wV9cxiZOmt-jhbMPJZ5K2mYz_94-L8XtRqNGvFebCkJ0qDd4euS2Og9ZTX9ZmTfYmBlcq1Bsk7N/s1600/piolo-pascual-toni-gonzaga-last-night-2.jpg" imageanchor="1" rel="nofollow" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img alt="Piolo Pascual as Mark and Toni Gonzaga as Carmina in ‘Last Night’" border="0" class="img" data-original-height="435" data-original-width="852" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRFdkGt98NanjxxV388ehP27MAQkW6Bs0ftlp6hJ7p-cMKeYkHuy0h9ZIHBA1-Np8I1wV9cxiZOmt-jhbMPJZ5K2mYz_94-L8XtRqNGvFebCkJ0qDd4euS2Og9ZTX9ZmTfYmBlcq1Bsk7N/s1600/piolo-pascual-toni-gonzaga-last-night-2.jpg" title="Piolo Pascual as Mark and Toni Gonzaga as Carmina in ‘Last Night’" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><i>Piolo Pascual as Mark and Toni Gonzaga as Carmina in ‘Last Night’/Star Cinema</i></td></tr></tbody></table>Arguably a departure from their last project together in “Starting All Over Again,” Gonzaga and Pascual once again proved that they can do just about any genre flawlessly work, thanks to their palpable chemistry and individual good acting. The two plays off of each other’s acting chops really well, making their characters believable and easy to relate to.<br /><div id="unruly-unit"></div><br />While the movie boldly lunges on a different spin at the romantic genre, its plot execution feels too stretched out at times. All throughout the movie, hints of a possible time-lapse are dropped with several newspaper clippings notable from the Martial Law era to the various changes in mood lighting and small details at the background that teases the plot twist. However, the reveal does not come until the third act, which by then, has lost its appeal and intrigue. We already know that a big surprise is coming and we know that it will change the way the whole film is initially perceived, but its prolonged wait time significantly diminishes the element of shock that is meant to go alongside it. <br /><br />Additionally, the paranormal side of the narrative does not seem to be as well honed as it could possibly. Carmina’s entrapment in the “middle world” and her supposed role of saving other people from committing the same mistake of committing suicide does not do anything really revolutionary to the story.<br /><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUZsMxremK_fplip-mlNqrig8-uCGheEL9tuiciQgoyjDdvwIGhKHxieGtVB1iyNv5_1S8N1WoSnKWDqiwbYKg_8_7NkiNdoT1mxaOwzvj3_EJDORjlS3yiFt08d0TPcb6eyogyIO4wjZ8/s1600/piolo-pascual-toni-gonzaga-last-night-3.jpg" imageanchor="1" rel="nofollow" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img alt="Piolo Pascual as Mark and Toni Gonzaga as Carmina in ‘Last Night’" border="0" class="img" data-original-height="491" data-original-width="850" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUZsMxremK_fplip-mlNqrig8-uCGheEL9tuiciQgoyjDdvwIGhKHxieGtVB1iyNv5_1S8N1WoSnKWDqiwbYKg_8_7NkiNdoT1mxaOwzvj3_EJDORjlS3yiFt08d0TPcb6eyogyIO4wjZ8/s1600/piolo-pascual-toni-gonzaga-last-night-3.jpg" title="Piolo Pascual as Mark and Toni Gonzaga as Carmina in ‘Last Night’" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Piolo Pascual as Mark and Toni Gonzaga as Carmina in ‘Last Night’/Star Cinema</td></tr></tbody></table>Although it’s not a perfect melding of genres, “Last Night” is still a good romantic flick. The film has all the running tropes needed for a love story -- from its fun dialogue to its tended moments. Its thriller component, however, just lacked the narrative establishment that could be fixed with any additional bits that will help further establish Carmina’s premise more effectively.<br /><br />Watch full trailer here:<br /><br /><center><div class="video-wrapper"><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="350" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/2-5BerbNjOE" width="100%"></iframe><br /></div></center><br /><b>-- ALD, The Summit Express</b></div>

The Future of Energy: Nanotechnology

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><!--INFOLINKS_OFF-->Renewable energy resources are very important when it comes to the protecting our future. Across many industries, finding alternative energy sources is incredibly important as a way to stand out against non-environmentally-conscious competitors. With benefits for both businesses and the environment, striving for energy efficiency has never been so prevalent. <br /><br />Nanotechnology has played a large part in the recent developments of alternative energy sources. The nanotech industry is still in its infancy, but the results are already looking to revolutionize how we can get energy from everyday occurrences. <br /><br /><b>Here are some of most recent, innovative energy sources enhanced by nanotechnology that experts have found. </b><br /><br /><b>Body Movement</b><br /><br />One of the biggest complaints and areas of development in mobile technology is the quest for better battery life. Users want a longer lasting battery, but experts and engineers feel the pressure to find alternative and greener ways of sourcing that energy. Because of the demand in mobile computing, researchers have built a system designed to harvest energy from body movement.<br /><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwQiH3rOvMP2m9RsK2bTCk5AQbNuS_HkNruDhN8Dni1ps0ULULl_mTcM-V2mcG7NWATVNHeV1DvATKGG4lJAvdh8lpkSFGuH14vX9W-RyoLD_oZhC2Je1pmF6namI5bYipBFFID_dxpA9h/s1600/nanotechnology-future-energy-sources.jpg" imageanchor="1" rel="nofollow" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img alt="Body Movement" border="0" class="img" data-original-height="368" data-original-width="553" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwQiH3rOvMP2m9RsK2bTCk5AQbNuS_HkNruDhN8Dni1ps0ULULl_mTcM-V2mcG7NWATVNHeV1DvATKGG4lJAvdh8lpkSFGuH14vX9W-RyoLD_oZhC2Je1pmF6namI5bYipBFFID_dxpA9h/s1600/nanotechnology-future-energy-sources.jpg" title="Body Movement" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><i>PHOTO CREDIT: <a href="https://www.pexels.com/photo/woman-girl-silhouette-jogger-40751/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">pexels.com</a></i></td></tr></tbody></table>Using paper-thin nanogenerators in items of clothing, the sensors can convert both mechanical (movement) and thermal (heat) energies from the body into electric current. The energy can be stored in a self-charging power unit, which requires fall-wave bridge rectifiers to convert the energy. <br /><br />Alongside the developments in nanotechnology, the decreasing prices of electrical features, like bridge rectifiers, are enabling the search for alternative energy sources to expand. The use of sensors and conductors are widening thanks to them being universally available – such as the bridge rectifiers online at <a href="http://ph.rs-online.com/web/c/semiconductors/discrete-semiconductors/bridge-rectifiers/" rel="nofollow">RS Components</a>. <br /><br />The affordable bridge rectifiers, and various electrical components, provide researchers with the extra resources to create systems like the <a href="https://www.azocleantech.com/article.aspx?ArticleID=681" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">body-movement nanogenerators</a>. These generators could power electronic textiles, mobile devices, handsets, wearable technology and more. <br /><br /><b>Air Pollution</b><br /><br />Using hydrogen as an alternative energy source has been championed for some time. This is because burning hydrogen with oxygen produces no air polluting waste products, such as carbon dioxide so it’s better for the environment. However, the energy used to produce pure hydrogen often outweighs the yield and uses unsustainable fuel sources, making it a less efficient way of harvesting energy. <br /><br />Academic researchers in America have created a device that uses an alternative way of producing hydrogen. The device is made up of two compartments, separated by nano-materials. In the one compartment, air pollutants are broken down and the end product passes through the nano-material. This nanotechnology-engineered membrane extracts hydrogen and stores it in the second compartment. The device is powered by solar energy, which makes it entirely self-sustaining and a much greener way of sourcing hydrogen - all thanks to nanotechnology. <br /><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinADd1tljKHmRWcLpyUqauule0lmxsMA_GdcXUEB4g0ojXw4P3OMmnB2PhImpfnnZhdSp5P1NWXoKHvXGtZ5fdm6_YKqdRjtmXD6ZO2XwY7GwwOaNW_ZuGL9OrIsBTp1OZl85j3uI3RTEy/s1600/nanotechnology-future-energy-sources-pollution.jpg" imageanchor="1" rel="nofollow" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img alt="Air Pollution" border="0" class="img" data-original-height="434" data-original-width="650" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinADd1tljKHmRWcLpyUqauule0lmxsMA_GdcXUEB4g0ojXw4P3OMmnB2PhImpfnnZhdSp5P1NWXoKHvXGtZ5fdm6_YKqdRjtmXD6ZO2XwY7GwwOaNW_ZuGL9OrIsBTp1OZl85j3uI3RTEy/s1600/nanotechnology-future-energy-sources-pollution.jpg" title="Air Pollution" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><i style="font-size: 12.8px;">PHOTO CREDIT: <a href="https://www.pexels.com/photo/air-air-pollution-chimney-city-221000/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">pexels.com</a></i></td></tr></tbody></table>With air pollution one of the biggest environmental problems in big cities, the hydrogen extracting technology could turn one of the most harmful by-products of fossil fuels into useful, clean energy.<br /><br /><b>Solar Energy</b><br /><br />Solar energy is one of the most common and commercial forms of alternative energy sources.

Modern Juan paves the way for gender equality at home

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">MANILA, Philippines  — Perhaps no era has prompted a more dramatic shift in gender norms than this one; and these changes are most evident in one of the most basic facets of daily life — chores.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrJys7ckem5f2T_3GbOK81WFuAMPafAGyfVlN1Q6GNnG1L980oT0yrzOEuB6ds19jIfmIUvwkdF4RbMqVsJrtTCL_v47sv1IWW_I9vfkqqufQyepJbEJaXczrujUc5G25YHtd1rixyeX-T/s1600/ariel-juan-wash.JPG" imageanchor="1" rel="nofollow" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Modern Juan paves the way for gender equality at home" border="0" class="img" data-original-height="347" data-original-width="693" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrJys7ckem5f2T_3GbOK81WFuAMPafAGyfVlN1Q6GNnG1L980oT0yrzOEuB6ds19jIfmIUvwkdF4RbMqVsJrtTCL_v47sv1IWW_I9vfkqqufQyepJbEJaXczrujUc5G25YHtd1rixyeX-T/s1600/ariel-juan-wash.JPG" title="Modern Juan paves the way for gender equality at home" /></a></div><br />Where household tasks were once viewed as “women’s work” decades prior, nowadays, a more equal division of tasks for cooking, cleaning, laundry duties, and the like in the new millennium is far from unusual.<br /><br />According to the <a href="http://www.gmanetwork.com/news/lifestyle/content/68459/filipino-men-now-more-into-house-chores-study/story/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">National Statistical Coordination Board (NSCB)</a>, Filipino men are getting more and more involved in household work. In fact, statistics show that a significant increase was seen in the beginning of 2000s, with employed men allotting an average of 5 hours working on chores. This is a big jump, compared to the average of 1.87 hours from the numbers gathered on employed men from 1979.<br /><br />With these findings, it’s exciting to see how this would continue to take off to new heights. A contemporary and fresh perspective on equality always starts from the core of the community, the family, and this is precisely why laundry detergent brand Ariel wants to keep the conversation going for every Juan.<br /><div id="unruly-unit"></div><br />As an homage to the men who show their support with the simple yet powerful act of contributing to housework, Ariel’s #JuanWash campaign seeks to inspire men to embrace one of the crucial roles in making a house a home by simply chipping in on the laundry. On September 1, 2017, Ariel launched the campaign online as a thank you to the Juan Washers, or the men who confidently help with the laundry. In partnership with Eat Bulaga, Ariel will be scouring through many different barangays in Metro Manila to find Juan Washers every Friday.<br /><br />“For a long time, it has been common for women to have a bigger share in terms of household chores. With the rise of double-income homes and a more open-minded cultural landscape, men are now much more accepting of the idea of contributing to the housework,” explains Luisito Morante, Regional Brand Communications for Procter & Gamble, ASEAN Fabric & Home Care.<br /><br />Many homes have their laundry washed twice a week. If the men of the household were to set aside one day for laundry, this can mean a world of difference for the family as a whole. As a convenient reminder of how each week gives men an opportune moment to show their support, Ariel is looking to dedicate Fridays as #JuanWash days. With this slight addition to their weekly routine, the men of the household can be a New Man as an expert in laundry.<br /><br />By celebrating the men who take a stand for equality through #JuanWash, Ariel continues to break barriers after coming from the successful launch of #AhonPinay – a project in partnership with TESDA (Technical Education and Skills Development Authority) that sought to provide women with more work opportunities by training them in commonly male-dominated jobs. Through #JuanWash, Ariel further emphasizes the advocacy of empowering Filipinos by showcasing the modern Juan’s role in laundry chores as a critical step towards welcoming the change to lead. Because someone who is man enough to do laundry, is someone who cares enough to let the women in their lives have the same opportunity to progress even more.</div>
