Remembering Radio Romance 101.9 FM Philippines

I remember the former flagship FM station of ABS-CBN called Radio Romance, probably aired on the early 90's and was simulcasted nationwide via satellite. I love their OPM program every sunday, and the clarity of their station signal was far ahead compare to other stations at that time. As far as i can remember this FM station manned almost by female disc jockeys with a bedroom voices so ummm......hehehe. Imagine listening to love songs with all the love greetings on the air, isn't it romantic? it's really a station for lovebirds and for the people who love a life of romance. Sadly, DWRR Radio Romance signed-off on September 1996, due to its station reformat to WRR All the Hits, All the time. It was again changed to DWRR 101.9 for Life. It's current format is Tambayan 101.9. Here's the logo of DWRR in the early 90's

Is it Fake or Real?

What is Wazzub?

Wazzub is a start-up company that claims to be a global community which has been created by handful of entrepreneurial individuals and investors who have come together with a dream to compete with search engine giants like Google and Yahoo. The company GIT Global Investments, Inc (GIT) is registered under the laws of Oregon to serve the purpose of running Wazzub and related businesses. You may not see much information or elaborated marketing about the company as of today.

Wazzub claims to be global neighborhood paying their customers to convert Wazzub as large as our existing search engines like Google and Yahoo. Wazzub is going to share 50% of revenue that it earns with the pre-launch members who help to create its network of users through internet referral marketing. It is also known as profit sharing phenomenon that will go viral starting with $0 (zero dollar) buy-in to start referring people to the concept.

The fact is that website in not yet launched and is under pre-launch stage. The launching date is 1st of April, 2012 but this date may be pushed back as this might scare people sharing the launching day with the April fool day. Do not stop reading just assuming Wazzub as a scam or joke, there is lot of interesting information in this article. You can find more info even on Wazzub site here.
Review of Wazzub

The primary concept that has been reviewed describes Wazzub as profit sharing business model that gives unlimited earning opportunity to their free members (members joined in pre-launch phase) who help them to spread their word to strengthen their network. If you can share Wazzub concept with your friends and family and encourage them to share the same in their network then there is huge potential to earn money on this site. It is just the matter of time. On 12th April, the search engine will get live and free pre-launch members will start making money.

Detailed webinars and tutorial will be given to free members to create Wazzub as right home page. Few new developments like news, updates, entertainment, movies, video games and greatest online deals will be incorporated once the website becomes mature enough after initial launch. The feature updates will be released on 1st July 2012 to target much more capability to monetizing the project. After reading Wazzub review, if you think it may be a good opportunity, you can join Wazzub Here


Why Wazzub is not a scam


Majority of people believe Wazzub as not a scam concept because its lifetime free. Wazzub is promoting it as a profit sharing internet company. If we consider this as real then there are lots of businesses out on internet who announces their profit to be shared among the users who use their services. This may not be novel concept as lot of business run on this model. But when we consider Wazzub as search engine who intend to stand out in the race with Google and Facebook then the profit sharing concept is new and tempting. It is true that power of earning money is tremendous and this is one of the reasons for Google and Facebook who keep all profit in their pockets are placed in top list.

It is not only Wazzub but any start-up company has potential to fail for multiple reasons. If the company pass through its pre-launch and launch with the capability to stand as a mature website with millions of users then nobody will need to ask more about Wazzub. While looking at the risk/return ratio of your investment with Wazzub then it is 100% free for members who join before launching date. Hence there is zero financial risk to the members who help to build network. The only investment is your time that you will spend inviting family and friends. If the Wazzub happens to fails, you will still have your network of family and friends on Wazzub. So, nobody can clearly describe Wazzub as a scam.

Before couple of years, even Google and Facebook may be doubted by lot of people worldwide as scam or real.
Wazzub Concept and Plan

According to Wazzub, you can make merely tremendous to set yourself financially secured for rest of your life. You have massive potential to earn residual income each month doing nothing. It is as simple as more free members you invite; more is the money that you can earn.
Wazzub Concept

Google and Yahoo, two search engine giants have one billion unique users using their services without paying it. These giants make millions of dollars each month by simply displaying ads and special offers on their site. It implies that they earn about $1 per each unique user for each month. In turn, they do not share their profit among their users. Wazzub utilizes the same concept as Google and Yahoo with the only difference that it will share its profits to the members who join before its launch. Wazzub follows state-of–art business model with patent-pending technology.

Wazzub in its pre-launch phase is creating a huge buzz with an intention to attract as many as users which will ultimately attract advertisers to spend money on advertising platform. Wazzub is going to share 50% of its profit towards shareholders and traders who have invested in the project, and rest 50% will be shared among free members who use Wazzub search engine as homepage. So, Wazzub as a new player in the game, instead of spending huge amount of money on advertising it prefers to share their profit to those who spread their word. Hence, it has brought novel and brilliant WIN-WIN concept for EVERYONE involved.
Wazzub Plan

Wazzub describes your earning opportunity as below:

You can earn $1 per each individual in your “unlimited” width * 5 generations Wazzub family. Calculate how much you can earn:

You invite just 5 members to join for free membership. Again these 5 members do the same for 5 generations deep. This means you can earn following amount from:

1st. Generation 5 x $1.00 = $5.00
2nd. Generation 25 x $1.00 = $25.00
3rd. Generation 125 x $1.00 = $125.00
4th. Generation 625 x $1.00 = $625.00
5th. Generation 3125 x $1.00 = $3,125.00

You can earn around $3,905 each month which is simply passive income for doing nothing. The earning figure that is shown above is just inviting 5 people; imagine earning potential if every member can invite 10 people. Your passive earning potential will simply explode to $111,110.00 each month.

The best part comes here: each member can invite unlimited people. Try to invite 20 or 30 people and imagine. It is sure that your imagination will definitely blow your mind. It is truly said that sky is the limit for money making opportunity with Wazzub.

You will definitely agree with the point that concept and plan goes well with the tagline “Together we activate the power of We!”.
Why you should join Wazzub?

If you were asked to 10 years ago to join Google or Facebook to earn 50% of the profit that they earn through ads each month would you have said YES? Probably, you would have said NO with the reason that it might be a scam or joke or the idea that never works. Now after 10 years when Google has actually earned the profit you would think back and regret with your family and friends for not joining the business opportunity. Isn’t it? Today, every time you happen to see Google or Facebook as the first website as soon as any individual turn their PC on.

Now, do you see why it is imperative that you will not repeat a mistake with Wazzub with the reason not to give same reply 1 year down the line to your family and friends for the mistake of not choosing Wazzub after knowing your role and passive money making opportunity? For any reason if Wazzub happens to fail then you will still have your net with you without any risk of losing even a single dime as it is 100% free. Join Wazzub here.

Wazzub is brilliant and special… Be the part of Wazzub family!!!

Women Miserable Breakup Stories

by Lindsey Unterberger

You thought your breakup was bad? The ways these ladies were dumped might leave you feeling like that whole Berger calling it quits with Carrie on a Post-it thing was a good idea.

Dumped at the office
“After dating this guy for a while, he sent me an e-mail saying, ‘I need to talk to you about something,’ and he asked if I could meet him right away. I told him I was at work, and he said, ‘Okay, I’ll be right there.’ I had a good idea what he was about to do, so when he texted me from outside my building and asked if he could come up, I was shocked! Dump me at my cubicle in front of my coworkers?! Instead, I met him outside. Five minutes later, I was back to work at my desk and haven’t spoken to him since.” —Kate, 25

Her boyfriend’s girlfriend did the dumping (yes, he had a girlfriend)
“My first love called me while I was watching Love Actually (ironic) in the movie theater and said, ‘she knows.’ Before the opening credits, I realized she was his other girlfriend, and he was trying to make it sound like I knew all about her and that I was the sidepiece in cahoots with him. I realized my two-year relationship was a farce as she yelled from the background, ‘Tell her you love me! Tell her who you want to be with.’ He wasn’t even man enough to dump me—his girlfriend did! Loser.” — Jennifer, 32

Ditched at the airport
“My boyfriend and I were on the rocks, but months before, his parents had bought us tickets to fly out to Montana for a family wedding the next day. He didn’t think I should go, but the ticket was nonrefundable. He drove us to the airport the next day and didn’t mention he’d had my ticket canceled…until the check-in clerk told me. The guy said, ‘Well, I’ll miss my flight if I don’t go now, and I’d offer you my car, but I know you can’t drive a stick, so…maybe you can call a cab? Bye!’ So there I was, stranded 75 miles from home. He never even called to see if I made it home. You can be sure I’ve learned to drive a stick shift since then.” —Elle, 26

He had her friend do the dirty work
“My first serious boyfriend didn’t even break up with me himself. He called, and when I answered, he put one of my girlfriends on the phone to say, ‘Brian doesn’t want to go out with you anymore.’ I was so upset I headed straight to my best friend’s house and tearfully told her the news. Before I could calm down enough to stop the tears from flowing, her doorbell rang. It was Brian, there to pick up his little sister (my friend’s little sister’s best friend). It was mortifying!” —Lauren, 25

Dumped by one boyfriend via another
“Right out of college and after a series of fruitless long-term, committed relationships, I made the mistake of trying to date more than one person at a time. I was a great juggler for a while (keeping them in different cities helped a lot), until one hand decided to find out what the other was doing. In what I can only assume was some backhanded attempt to secure me for himself, boyfriend 1 looked up boyfriend 2 on Facebook (damn technology!) and spilled the beans. From what I gathered, the message from 1 to 2 read something like this: ‘Hey, 2, you don’t know me, but I’m her Kansas City boyfriend, and you must be her St. Louis boyfriend. Nice to meet you.’ This of course all transpired before I was even aware 1 knew about 2, so I was given no opportunity to come clean on my own. Instead, I was dumped by 2 because of 1. I subsequently then dumped 1. What a mess!” —Maggie, 25

The birthday dump
“When my high school boyfriend and I went to college, he decided to attend a different school. As our first semester progressed, my November birthday came. I had not heard from him in a few days, so I called, thinking he would want to wish me happy birthday. Instead, my best friend from high school answered (they went to the same college) and said ‘I guess you should know we’ve been hooking up for months. Oh and happy birthday.’” —Julie, 31

Superman and Science

By Lois Gresh and Robert Weinberg

When we examine the Man of Steel, we need to remember that, in a sense, we’re examining all the superheroes who follow. Superheroes have always been created with broad brushstrokes. Not a lot of time was spent on deducing the limits or nonlimits of our super characters. Even less attention was paid to their interaction with ordinary people and objects. ‘When Superman lifts a car over his head to shake criminals to the ground, no one ever questions why the car doesn’t fall to pieces. Nobody questions how Superman stays perfectly balanced on Earth while waving over his head an item that has a mass twenty times greater than his own.

How often have we seen Superman fly down and pull a car up by the roof into the sky? In the real world, there are few vehicles that would even hold together if Superman yanked them up by the roof. The car would probably continue forward, with the roof ripped off and held by Superman. Every time Superman lifts a building into the air, why don’t all the bricks, held together by cement and pressure, suddenly start falling apart? Those are the types of ordinary problems that seem never to occur in any superhero adventures. Basically, superheroes perform super acts and the logic squad cleans up afterwards.

In Superman’s first appearance in the 1938 Action Comics, we’re informed “that he could leap one-eighth of a mile; hurdle a twenty-Story building . . . raise tremendous weights . . . run faster than an express train . . . and that nothing less than a bursting shell could penetrate his skin!”

Siegel and Shuster’s explanation of Superman’s powers, as given in Action Comics #1, left much to the imagination. Their main premise was that Superman came from a civilization much more advanced than ours and thus the inhabitants were physically more advanced than humans. By extrapolation, this argument implies that modem man is physically much stronger than Cro-Magnon man or Neanderthal man. Of course, our ancestors lived only a few hundred centuries before us, while Superman’s race was described as being millions of years ahead of ours. A full-page illustration in Superman #1 (Summer 1939) gave a “scientific explanation of Superman’s amazing strength.”

“Superman came to Earth from the planet Krypton, whose inhabitants had evolved, after millions of years, to physical perfection. The smaller size of our planet, with its slighter gravity pull, assists Super-man s tremendous muscles in the performances of miraculous feats of strength.”

Thus, Siegel and Shuster gave two explanations for Superman’s extraordinary powers. He was an alien from a planet not in our Solar System, and the weak gravity of Earth compared to the gravity of his home world of Krypton gave him amazing strength. Both concepts came right from the pages of science fiction magazines of the time, and few readers questioned the logic of either assumption.

Let’s assume Superman could indeed come to Earth. What powers would he possess that would make him a superman when compared to humans? Going back to the original Superman of Action Comics #1, it’s clear he has tremendous strength and can jump great distances, but he never flies. In Superman #4, for example, he runs from Metropolis to Oklahoma. Siegel and Shuster created a character they thought was believable based on the science of the time.

Could this have been the way Superman escaped from the Planet Krypton?

There was no explanation for flight, so the best Superman could do was jump.
As the years passed and competition increased, Superman’s powers grew as his creators continued to change the character to meet the demands of an ever-increasing audience. By 1943, Superman could fly at speeds faster than light (another impossibility). Needless to say, as his powers grew more incredible, so did his strength. In early issues of Action Stories, Superman lifts an automobile over his head. Within a few years, he’s carrying buses packed with astonished riders. After a few more years, he’s carrying ocean liners. By the 1960s, he’s moving planets.

Siegel and Shuster’s original comic book concept was that Super-man’s tremendous strength was the result of being born on a high-gravity planet. Earth’s gravity was much weaker than that of Krypton, so Superman was able to lift heavy objects due to the difference in gravitational fields.

In Superman #58, Supermans powers are explained as follows:

"Everyone knows that Superman is a being from another Planet, unburdened by the vastly weaker gravity of Earth. But not everyone understands how gravity affects strength! If you were on a world smaller than ours, you could jump over high buildings, lift enormous weights . . . and thus duplicate some of the feats of the Man of Steel!"

Which leads to our second basic question about Superman: How strong must Krypton’s gravity have been to endow Superman with such incredible strength? Answering this question requires we first answer another: How massive was the planet Krypton that it had such high gravity?

Superman appears to weigh approximately 100 kg (220 lbs). An athlete in top physical condition can lift his own body weight. Running and throwing a heavy object might not be so easy. For our study, we’re going to assume that Superman is 1,000 times stronger than an ordinary Earthman. That would mean he could lift 100,000 kg or approximately 220,000 pounds. This is approximately the weight of three filled semi-trailer trucks or a DC-9 airplane without fuel or passengers. Cranes used to construct bridges can handle about that weight, so we’d have a Superman still well within the bounds of human imagination. Such strength would even enable him to leap a mile with one jump, thus approximating flying in the eyes of most people.

The force necessary to lift an object on a planet is equal to the mass of the object multiplied by the gravitational force present on that planet. Thus, a human who could lift 100 kg on Earth could lift 600 kg on the Moon, which has one-sixth the gravity of Earth. Which would imply that for Superman to be 1,000 times stronger on Earth than he is on Krypton, Krypton would have to be 1,000 times as massive as the Earth.

Earth’s gravity is 9.8 meters/sec squared, or for simplicity’s sake, 10 meters/sec squared;. Multiplying that number by 1,000 gives us the gravity of Krypton, 10,000 meters/sec squared.

Could a planet exist with such a gravitational field? According to Brother Guy Consolmagno of the University of Arizona, a planet with even fifty times the gravity of Earth “is essentially impossible to construct, given the physics of solid matter as we understand it.”

Put in even simpler terms, “a body with . . . a surface gravity of 10,000 in/sec squared would have a mass of 6 x 1033kg ..., which would be 3,000 times the mass of the sun.”
According to the basic laws of physics, Krypton is impossible. Moreover, for people resembling us to live on Krypton, they’d need muscle and bones 1,000 times stronger than human muscle and bone. No such material exists to create bone or muscle, or the complex internal organs necessary for life as we know it.

On a planet with gravity 1,000 times that of Earth, would it be possible to send a rocket ship, especially a small one as seen in numerous issues of Superman and Action Comics, to Earth? The escape velocity (the speed necessary to break the gravitational pull of a planet) of Krypton would be enormous, approximately 11,000 km/second. That’s about 1/30 the speed of light. No chemical reaction in the universe could produce enough energy necessary to achieve such velocity.

In the 1960s, the explanation for Superman’s powers was revised: his super strength, ability to fly, and more came not only from the high gravity of Krypton but also from growing up under a yellow sun instead of a red one. Unfortunately for Superman, light is light. The light from a red sun would merely have a smaller occurrence of high frequencies than the light from a yellow sun. Infrared light would be more common, but that’s about it. Red star or yellow star, Super-man’s powers would be the same.

Superman is one of the most fascinating characters in comic books, and he’s one of the most recognizable characters on Earth. He’s one of those people we wish could exist, but doesn’t. Visitors from other planets are possible. Superman’s not.
