CebuPac expands Mla-Sydney operations
By Louella Desiderio | The Philippine Star
MANILA, Philippines - Cebu Pacific is expanding operations between Manila and Sydney by offering daily flights starting December amid strong passenger demand.
The Gokongwei-owned budget carrier said in a statement the daily operations between Manila and Sydney would begin on Dec.1.
Cebu Pacific has the most number of seats offered on the Manila to Sydney route through its up to five times weekly nonstop services.
Data from Australia's Bureau of Infrastructure, Transport and Regional Economics showed Cebu Pacific accounted for the the biggest share of 41.7 percent of the Manila to Sydney passenger market in the January to April period of this year.
The same data showed Cebu Pacific got 47.4 percent of the total cargo market of the Manila to Sydney route as of end-April.
"Cebu Pacific continues to remain bullish over prospects in the Australia market. The additional frequency between Manila and Australia reflects our commitment to reinforce the Cebu Pacific effect across one of our strongest international markets. We want to continue to offer our year-round low-fares that are affordable, accessible and available to a greater number of travellers," Candice Iyog, Cebu Pacific vice president for marketing and distribution said.
She said the increase in frequencies would not just benefit tourists, but even businesses.
"The additional frequencies will also mean increased cargo capacity between Sydney and Manila. This bodes well for exporters, entrepreneurs and enterprises would like to bring products from Australia to the Philippines, and vice-versa; as well to Japan, China and Korea, the rest of Southeast Asia and to Dubai," she said.
To promote the daily flights, Cebu Pacific is holding a seat sale for the Manila to Sydney route with the fares available for as low as P9,167.31
The seat sale would run until July 28, of this year or until seats last, with the travel period covering Nov. 16, of this year until March 15 of next year.
Cebu Pacific has flights to over 60 destinations.
Its 61-strong fleet is composed of four Airbus A319s, 36 Airbus A320s, eight Airbus A330s, eight ATR 72 500s and five ATR 72-600 aircraft.
From this year until 2022, Cebu Pacific will take delivery of seven Airbus A321ceos, 32 Airbus A321neos, and 11 ATR 72-600 aircraft.

Technical advice for travelling overseas with electronic devices
Download ACSC Protect: Technical advice for travelling overseas with electronic devices (PDF), December 2012
Published December 2012
Related Travelling overseas with electronic devices
- This product has been developed to assist IT security staff to secure agency devices and information before employees travel overseas. It should be read in conjunction with the advice provided in Travelling overseas with an electronic device. Additionally, this document should be considered in conjunction with an agency-developed risk assessment for high-threat travel situations and with Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade travel advice. For devices carrying classified information, consult the Australian Government Information Security Manual (ISM).
Mitigation strategies
- Government employees travelling overseas face additional information security risks. The following advice provides steps IT security staff should take before agency employees travel in order to maximise the security of devices and the information held on them. This is general advice which may not be applicable to every device.
- Update the operating system and all software application installed on the device before the trip and while away. It is important to note most updates are fixes for identified vulnerabilities and should be applied as soon as they become available. If using a Windows operating system, automatic updates should be used. However, if using automatic updates, this should be done through connection to a virtual private network (VPN) back to the agency.
- Minimise administrative privileges on the device to only users who need them. You should restrict the user's rights in order to permit them to only execute a specific set of predefined functions as required to complete their duties.
- Enable application whitelisting to only allow approved programs to run, while all other programs are blocked from running by default. Solutions include Microsoft AppLocker. For tablets and smartphones, use mobile application management to specify which applications are allowed to be used.
- Install an agency-approved antivirus product on the device. Virus pattern signatures should be checked for updates several times per day and installed as soon as they become available. All storage should be regularly scanned for malicious code. This will reduce the risk of the device being compromised by malicious software.
- Where possible, install a firewall to protect against malicious or unauthorised incoming network traffic, preferably one from ASD's Evaluated Products List.
- Disable unnecessary features or software. Minimising software on the device reduces opportunities to exploit and gain access to the device through software vulnerabilities.
- For all hardware and software, implement passphrase policies as per the ISM or, if available, a device-specific ASD hardening guide (as passphrase policies may differ from the generic advice in the ISM). This includes preventing the user changing their passphrase more than once a day.
- Use the data execution prevention functionality, preferably hardware, which will run additional checks to ensure that certain types of vulnerabilities are harder to exploit.
- Baseline the device prior to departure and again no return to look for any signs of compromise. This involves auditing what is installed and running on the device and how it is configured prior to and after travelling. Ensure that any changes to the device have been approved and authorised. If you note anything of concern, report the incident to the Cyber Security Operations Centre, who will advise of further action you can take.
- Once you have baselined the device upon return, it is important to wipe or reset the device. This should be done even if nothing suspicious is noted.
- ASD recommends that information on all mobile devices be encrypted. Refer to the ISM for evaluated products and approved algorithms.
- Encryption at rest. All mobile devices should be encrypted in order to mitigate the risk of unauthorised access to information. Agencies using encryption to secure data at rest should implement evaluated products and approved algorithms and should use either:
- full disk encryption, or
- partial disk encryption, where the access control will only allow writing to the encrypted partition.
- Full disk encryption provides a greater level of protection than file-based encryption. While file-based encryption may protect individual files there is a risk that unencrypted copies of the file may be left in temporary locations used by the operating system. Full disk encryption also allows operating system and software files to be more easily protected from an adversary with physical access.
- It is important to ensure that the device's data is protected when traversing a network. Ensure your browser supports only approved SSL cyphers as specified in the ISM. Ensure that appropriate network security settings are implemented and are consistent with ISM requirements.
- Configure wireless security settings so that the device is not allowed to connect to ad hoc wireless networks.
- Devices should not be allowed to connected to wireless networks, except where temporarily connecting to facilitate the establishment of a VPN. All web browsing and email should be conducted through the agency's VPN.
- Disable split-tunnel VPNs. These can allow access to internet systems via an unsecured connection while connected to your agency's network through a VPN. This can bypass the normal security controls implemented by your agency on its internet connection and increase the risk of the VPN being attacked from unsecured networks.
- Disable Bluetooth pairing by default. This can be enabled if required but should be done prior to departure.
Further information
- The Australian Government Information Security Manual (ISM) assists in the protection of official government information that is processed, stored or communicated by Australian government systems.
- ASD's Strategies to Mitigate Cyber Security Incidents complements the advice in the ISM.
- ASD publishes hardening guides for specific devices including Apple iOS and BlackBerry.
Contact details

Parks and Rec Enlists Jeff Tweedy
As a rock star whose band has broken up.
Wilco's Jeff Tweedy will guest-star on Parks and Recreation this spring, according to EW. He'll play one of the lead singers of the once-beloved band Land Ho! that has since acrimoniously broken up. "Leslie (Amy Poehler) and Andy (Chris Pratt) are trying to convince him to reunite for the big Unity Concert they are organizing to solidify the merger of Pawnee and Eagleton," showrunner Mike Schur says, but Tweedy's character is loath to participate. Maybe he could just sit in with Mouse Rat or sing a duet with Johnny Karate?

A dozen guns and more than three dozen bulletproof vests belonging to employees of the state's Department of Public Safety and Corrections went missing over the past few years and haven't been found, according to a legislative auditor's report released Monday.
The audit exposing the missing corrections gear prompted the department recently to revise its policy regarding "sensitive items," which include weapons, vests and radios. The policy now requires quarterly inventory audits of such items. And in May, department leaders met with staff members in charge of managing the public property to explain the new rules, according to a letter written by the department's head, Secretary Jimmy Leblanc.
"The loss of any gun is important," Legislative Auditor Daryl Purpera said. "We need to improve the control over these items so that they don't go missing in the first place."
Of the 12 guns — all pistols — reported in the audit as "unlocated," 11 were stolen, said Pam Laborde, a spokeswoman for the Department of Public Safety and Corrections.
The twelfth gun was inside an agent's home that caught fire and was destroyed, Laborde said.
In light of the audit, the department is researching ways to improve the security of weapons inside unmarked vehicles of probation and parole officers, Laborde said.
The items went missing between fiscal years 2010 and 2014. Seven of the guns disappeared in 2011, according to the audit.
The audit also found that the department failed to report three stolen guns, a stolen vest and some stolen bullets to the Legislative Auditor's Office and the local district attorney, as required by law.
Leblanc, however, disputes the finding in a letter, writing that "misappropriations," as the specified items were considered, should not fall under that category because the acts didn't involve the intentional act of misuse by the department or its employees. Plus, the thefts were reported to local law enforcement agencies, he wrote.
Leblanc also notes that the missing "sensitive items" represented less than 1 percent of all the 5,200 such items in the department's possession.
Of the missing guns, all 12 belonged to probation and parole employees, as did 16 of the missing bulletproof vests, the audit found.
Nine vests belonged to employees from Dixon Correctional Institute in Jackson, five from the Louisiana Correctional Institute for Women in St. Gabriel, five from David Wade Correctional Center at Homer, three from the Louisiana State Penitentiary at Angola and one from Elayn Hunt Correctional Center at St. Gabriel, the audit found.
A few of the missing items, including one gun, were recently removed from the missing property lists because they had been unaccounted for in three consecutive years.
At that point, items are no longer considered missing but are considered permanently gone, Purpera said.

Almost whatever it takes
Beyond the wireEight years ago a struggling Japanese railway appointed a cat called Tama as stationmaster at Kishi. Following her employment the railway prospered. Sadly, Tama Chan passed away last week but her inspiration lives on and there is talk of appointing cats as finance ministers in Greece and Germany.They couldn't make any more of a hash of it than the current incumbents. After bailout negotiations broke down for the umpteenth time on Friday the Greek prime minister announced what is tantamount to an in-out referendum on the euro, to be held this coming Sunday. The European Central Bank subsequently halted its emergency liquidity assistance to Greek banks, which will therefore remain closed at least until next week. Those with money still in Greek banks (who cannot have been paying attention for the last five months) will have their withdrawals limited to €60 a day.
When the Far East opened for business this morning investors hastily reduced their holdings of financial assets perceived to be "risky", including equities, emerging-market currencies and, of course, the euro. It was marked down by more than 1% and the South African rand took an even bigger hit. Since Friday morning the euro has lost two cents to sterling and one and three quarter US cents. The "safe" Japanese yen made the most of the situation, strengthening by 0.8% against the pound.Chinese gasApparently in response to sharply-lower prices on the Shanghai stock exchange last Friday, the People's Bank of China lowered its benchmark interest by 25 basis points to 4.85% on Saturday. Share prices initially strengthened but by the time London opened this morning the index was down by another -3.5%.The bear market in Chinese shares can only undermine further the confidence of investors around the world, as evidenced by the $10 jump in the price of gold this morning. They have too many unknowns to deal with and uncertainty makes them nervous.
They will have no top-tier economic data to handle today. Norwegian retail sales, UK mortgage approvals, Euroland confidence, South African unemployment and US pending home sales will pale into insignificance alongside the speculation surrounding the euro.A cat would knowThe Athens government's strategy has thrown Euroland leaders into confusion. The ECB's decision to halt ELA support for Greek banks has cast doubt on its determination to "do whatever it takes" to preserve the single currency. Nobody knows how it will all pan out.
If the referendum takes place (the last one was banned by the EC), and if the population votes to accept the terms of a troika proposal that is no longer on the table, negotiations could get underway again next week. In that case Greek banks would presumably receive renewed support from the ECB and Greece would remain in the single currency, at least until the next blow-up.
But in the meantime everything will remain up in the air. That will not be good for the euro.

Canadian Shelter Dog Trained to Detect Fires
What do you do when you need a working pet? You may be surprised to learn that not all working pets and service animals are purebred. This is a story of an Edmonton shelter dog that got a second chance.
Deputy Chief Bill McGovern Jr. with the State Office of Fire Prevention and Control was searching for a dog with a good attitude and a sense of play to join his team. Grover is a year-old Jack Russell-bloodhound-lab mix that was taken to a shelter after his owners abandoned him in an outdoor kennel. Shelter manager Kerrie Colin said that she knew Grover had a great amount of energy and required a lot of attention. Grover, a lab mix from the Animal Shelter of Schoharie County was just the dog that Chief McGovern was looking for.
"We lucked out and I guess it was fate for Grover. Grover wanted to please and always looked for direction," said Colin. "He loved his toys, so I knew training him would be easier for them."
Grover completed an eight-week program through the State Academy of Fire Science and is now trained in fire accelerant detection. Grover has taken his position under Captain Murray Steedsman of the City of Edmonton, Alberta Fire Department as his partner.
All pets deserve a happy life, and we are happy to see that Grover got his second chance in an important role at the fire department. Here at Trupanion, we love hearing stories of pets doing amazing things–and we know Grover is destined to become a hero! Working pets provide a great service to their owners and community. (Did you know that we offer dog insurance for working dogs?) We believe all pets should receive coverage to protect against the unexpected.

Pet Peeve and OCD
Just like any normal person, I have my pet peeves and OCD. A lot of it I've grown out off. I remember when I was a kid whenever I walk on the side walk with rectangle patterns, I avoid stepping on the lines. I also make sure I step on the boxes an equal number of times, depending on their size. Sometimes, I see other kids do it today and I just smile and tell myself, "See, I told you weren't a psycho." to which myself responds "Yes, you're right. I am not a psycho."
Anyways, one of my pet peeve is google maps response to the middle wheel button of the mouse. In Photoshop, you drag the button towards you to zoom-in. This is like dragging the picture towards you. In google maps, doing the same thing results in the map zooming away from you! How evil is that! What happened to the "Do no evil" mantra that the folks at google live by.
My friends has told me that they see it as the user flying and so moving the wheel away is like flying towards the map, making it zoom-in. I don't buy that. I figured, the photoshop behavior is the de facto standard, why go against it?
Well, I've always knew there's a reason why I feel the need to scroll the wheel towards me to zoom-in, and today I found more ammo. Google's own product, Google Earth (version 3.0.0762), behaves the way I want it to! Which is opposite of google maps.
Well, I did some searching, and I found out that Google has decided to change Google Earth's behavior on version 4 to match that of Google Maps. That just sucks. But I guess if you're a 900 lb gorilla, you can change de facto standards, even one made by Adobe's Photoshop.
But hey, instead of throwing stones from the outside, I think I'll try and find a job at google and maybe change this behavior someday. Or at least give google maps the option of changing its behavior by un-checking a "Behave Evil" option.

Good Man and I went to the National Aquarium for a wedding almost four years ago, but didn't take any photos. This time I was able to get some pictures, and they had an amazing jellyfish exhibit, too.
We got to see people cleaning the aquarium from the inside, which was cool, but the place was crawling with little kids, which was…less than pleasant. (Of course, it is spring break, so it's not a shock.)
Being around so many kids today reminded me of why I like to teach them but don't want to parent them.
Our hotel offered free breakfast. This morning, Good Man and I were seated next to two boys. Their parents were getting breakfast when the younger one (preschool/kindergarten age) flipped off the older one. Two-handed, even. The older one (about second/third grade) gasped and said, "I'm telling Mom."
Younger Brother twisted his face at the older one and shook his head. As soon as his mother appeared, he pointed at Older Brother and said, "He stuck up his middle finger!"
The mother started scolding the older brother while he protested. It was obvious she didn't believe him and I piped up. "Excuse me, Ma'am? Ma'am?" When I had her attention I pointed to the younger one. "He gave him the double bird. I don't mean to tattle on your kids, but I'm a teacher. I have eyes all over my head and saw it all."
She thanked me and spun around. "You did what?"
The older one crossed his arms and leaned back in his seat, satisfied. The woman a few seats down from me leaned forward, caught me eye, and said, "Busted!"
At the aquarium, a young teenager stormed away from her mother and smacked right into Good Man. "Watch where you're going," the mother said in a bored voice.
"I don't care where I'm going! I hate you! I hate everyone!"
Good Man just looked at me and shrugged.
