Cebu Island Pictures
Cebuano Bloggers Society has reached its own peak. It was well recognized not only in the province but also thought the country. I do not know when this blogging technology really started but I started to notice it in the internet sometime in 2006.

I started blogging in the December of 2006. It serves me as personal online collection of information about education. As I go deeper in the world of blogging I found many online blogging community not only in US, Europe but also in Manila so I began to think that Cebu should have its own Blogging community. Luckily, on Feb 14, the Cebu Bloggers Society was organized for the purpose of organizing the bloggers to have common venue to share and promote CEBU ISLAND.

The CBS has became the recognized blogging organization in Cebu. Local business community and local government already tied up with CBS for different events. Then in 14th  of  February, the group will be having its 2nd founding anniversary! The them of the celebration is “CBS @ 2: The Cebu Bloggers Society 2nd Anniversary Celebration”. The event main goal is to strengthen more the camaraderie among members.

The event will be held on Sunday, February 14, 2010, 5-9PM, at the Celebration Hall of SM Storyland, Lower Ground Floor, SM City Cebu.

This big and important event won’t be possible without the help and assistance of the following:

Rubber Vulcanized

Cebu Island Pictures

Do you plan to travel in South Cebu this Summer? 
There are many location of Rubber Vulcanizing Shop along the south highway starting Pardo. There is one near Princewarehouse in Bulacao, another one in Tabunok and in boundary of Minglanilla and Talisay City. Ther is another rubber vulcanizing shop in the town of Minglanilla just besides Tita Gwapa store. A lot more Rubber Vulcanization business along the highway until you past in San Fernando. Make sure you have a reserve tire after San Fernando because the next town is farther than the previous succeeding towns.


Did you know the story of discovery before Rubber Vulcanization  was introduced to public?

In 1830’s, many scientist study a way to create a weatherproof rubber to produce in vulcanization of rubber. Charles Goodyear is one of the inventors trying to discover the real process of producing a rubber for vulcanization. In the course of study, he experience bankruptcy and put behind bars for unpaid debts. He continued his study even behind bars without the help of US government. He lives with his family in a tenement style house after serving his prison term. There he continues his rubber vulcanizing experiment. His relative lectures him and reminded him about his wrong obsession and reminded him that his 6 children needed a food to eat.
After years of experiment, some test accident occurred. In 18396, Goodyear was displaying his latest mixture of gum and sulphur at certain store. He was usually ridiculed, but he discovers an elastic substance formed with the mixture of other chemicals. Vulcanized rubber started with the discovery of Charles Goodyear.
He theorized that sulphur and heat is the right mixture but he does not know the exact proportions or formula. Revitalized in his obsession, his poverty continued to extend in his family that cause death to his younger child. He was not able to afford funeral service so he just borrowed a cart to bring his dead infant to the cemetery.
In one of his un-guided experiment with the application of steam, he finally discovers the key process to form a vulcanized rubber. He steams the rubber for several hours under pressure with the temperature of 270F that resulted to weatherproofing rubber. That is the beginning of vulcanized rubber. Goodyear shared his discovery to his brother who lectures him about his wrong obsession.


(This simple business - history article was given by an inbound call center industry located in Cebu)

In bad faith, he send sample of his discovery to British rubber plants that was able to obtain patent in foreign land. This man is also in the study of vulcanized rubber for 20 years His name is Thomas Hancock of the famous Hancock industry. He reinvented the weatherproofing process in 1843, four years after Goodyear. Then when Goodyear applied for a British patent, then Hancock had beaten him with the Patency law as well as losing the case

The term vulcanized rubber was originated from Hancock industry since they are well established and richer that Goodyear. Today, the rubber industry employs millions of employees all over the world. But the bad faith of Charles Goodyear did not end. He died with $200,000 debts. On the other hand the famous Goodyear Tire does not have any relationship with Charles Goodyear. The company named in Goodyear in honor of his contribution.
