The TESDA (Technical Education and Skills Development Authority) is a leading organization which provides the development of skills for young people in Philippines. All the students who complete a course in the skill they specialize, can apply for scholarship in TESDA Accredited School. Thus, they can continue their studying in the schools which are under the jurisdiction of TESDA. The latter have been authorised and accredited by the TESDA and offer a great variety of courses of the following specialties: Welding, Dressmaking, Hairdressing, Beauty Care, Baking/Pastry Production, Commercial Cooking, Carpentry, Plumbing, Masonry, Building Wiring Installation, Computer Hardware Servicing, Consumer Electronics Servicing, Automotive Servicing, Motorcycle Small Engine Servicing.

But the student should meet one important requirement in order to enter Tesda Accredited School he or she must insure whether a school or institution has been accredited by TESDA.

Here is a list of several schools which have been accredited by TESDA. You need just to decide which specialty you like and make your choice of the school providing the development of skills you are going to deal with.

ArkiCADD Centre for Computer Education: This school started its activity as a training centre in the year of 1991 at the UP College of Architecture in Diliman, Quezon City. Originally the school was designed to develop the skills in oil and mineral exploration as it was fully owned by the company called Computer Synergy Inc. Later the school was transformed from a training center to a technical school which nowadays specializes in the field of computer science. It provides two-year courses accredited with the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA). These courses are offered only to students who have graduated from a high school with a set level of aptitude for the arts. Thus, ArkiCADD combines computer education with artistic technique.

Call Haven Centre for I.T. Education in the Asia Pacific is another TESDA Accredited school in Philippines. This centre is intended for providing free education to its students in the field of the IT industry, for instance, outsourcing. It prepares students for employment in this area.

De Mazenod School of Technology: this TESDA accredited school is involved in the development of the skills of computer hardware servicing, automotive service, automobile servicing and Personal Computer (PC) operation.

Dualtech Training Centre is a private school which was established in 1982. This centre explored the adapting of the German Dual Training System in the Philippines. During 28 years of its existence it has provided thousands of able workers to the industries. Those scholar-trainees were taken from the poor sectors of society from the marginalized communities.

Focolare Carpentry Training Centre was founded in 1968 as a school which transforms school youth into really professional carpenters. In this way the centre trains local managerial personnel I the field of carpentry and encourages the young people for self supporting manufacturing handicrafts. By the way, the Focolare Carpentry Training Center was initially the project of the Work of Mary or Focolare Movement for Men, Inc. The latter is a world-wide known non-profit religious structure meant to give educational opportunities for out of school young people.

PATTS College of Aeronautics is the one designed to develop skills in the area of aviation. It offers the most professional technical training in the given field. Due to the qualified personnel of the college students study good airworthy aircraft and practice their skills under their direct supervision.

Southern Mindanao Institute of Technology is a private technical school which provides the pre-school, the high school and additional baccalaureate courses. During several last years this institution has broadened the scope of its specialties as well as updated its training facilities. Being the first ever technical school in Tacurong and in the whole province of Sultan Kudarat, it is able to equip its youth and the youth of neighbouring areas for a successful life in new generation.

China's Real Economic Engine - Diversity

Image source: https://chovanec.files.wordpress.com/2009/11/nine_nations.png

China's unprecedented growth and the opportunities it presents are no longer a secret in the business world. Although megacities, such as Beijing and Shanghai, have long captured much of the spotlight, it is behind the scenes, in second-tier cities, where one can witness the real source of China's economic growth. Contrary to expectations, the majority of China's imports are not ending up in Beijing, Guangzhou, or Shanghai but in a group of second-tier cities Chongqing, Dalian, Hangzhou, Harbin, Kunming, Nanjing, Ningbo, Qingdao, Shenzhen, Tianjin, Wuhan, Xiamen, Xian, and Zhuhai accounting for an astonishing 53 percent of China's total imports, almost double the amount of the three Chinese megacities combined.

As those cities have become importing havens, and present lucrative opportunities, entrepreneurs wish to focus their marketing efforts on smaller, second tier cities. It is a common thing to see that the level of investment required in Wuhan or Hangzhou compared to investment levels in the "big threes", tends to attract a lot of local and foreign entrepreneurs, all reaching for profit opportunities. Those booming cities often develop highly attractive investment regulations, the ROI is greater than in cities like Guangzhou, and this aspect totally meets small but "hungry" companies' expectations. They are in fact following the tracks of larger corporations that have been precursors in opening trade routes to those regions in the past. Global brands have a capacity of hedging their risks, which SMEs generally don't have.

Rejoice, for instance, a shampoo brand of Procter and Gamble, used to be a middle class brand with an average price of 18 Yuan (US$2.30) per 200ml bottle in Shanghai. Three years ago, the company started to aim at lower tier cities, by launching a new "9.9 Rejoice" series, which was sold for 9.9 Yuan (US$1.30) per 200 ml bottle.

"Before rolling it out to the nation, it took us six months to do test sales in six different lower-tier cities, and the amount sold was surprisingly satisfying," said Heidi Wang, Manager of Rejoice at Procter and Gamble. "After we officially launched it in 2004, the sales have kept on rising at a rate of double digits every year. Now I can tell you our 9.9 Rejoice is the number one brand in the middle level market of 8 to 12 Yuan,"

Last year, Kunal Sinha, executive director at Discovery Ogilvy China and his team conducted market research in over 65 lower-tier cities from the north to the south of the country, materializing in a report called "The Real China Revealed". He stated "There is a general belief that foreign brands are more expensive". But we'll see that this doesn't mean people in first tier cities give much more attention to brands than lower ties cities.

When being asked if they are willing to spend more money on well-known brands, the percentage is 38.4 percent in first-tier cities, 34.7 percent in second-tier cities and 31.6 percent in third-tier cities. According to the report, only 16.3 percent of people in third-tier cities said 'yes' to foreign brands even though the prices are higher, compared with 24.1% in tier-one cities. One easily can see there is not a big difference between first-tier and third-tier cities. Likewise, it is shown that consumers in the lower tier cities are looking for novelty and differentiation just as much as in the big cities. Chinese communication campaigns and media tools are the vectors of fast developing trends, reaching most parts of China, especially in dynamic environments.

"Innovation is absolutely important for companies surviving in China, the Chinese market is changing very fast and it's important to keep up to speed" said Sinha.

We could illustrate this example by comparing two large technology companies: Bird mobile phones and Lenovo. Bird mobiles were very popular in the mobile phone market five years ago but now it has lost its influential "stranglehold" on the market because it their product development strategy strongly lacked innovation, which is the most important driver in the market. However, Lenovo, the Beijing-based PC Company is still investing a lot of money in innovation even after purchasing IBM's personal computer section. It seems that one should never rest on his laurels, may it be a large-scaled group, or even more importantly a small corporation.

The diversity of China's market is one of its great strength, but it could be a critical business error to underestimate it. This diversity is seen through various forms (lifestyles, social class & related habits, sex and age...). "Unlike other countries, China is made up of different cities in which people have very different lifestyles, thoughts, shopping habits and even languages," said Sinha. "You have to use different strategies in different regions."

A twist has also been seen with marketers, enlarging their scope to new targets, such as older people. Being over 140 million over 60 years old, they consume up to 1.4 trillion yuan on the Chinese market, according to a government news agency (XInhua). After having lived a hard work oriented life, they have retired earning good benefits from the government and are willing to enjoy the 21st century modernity environment that local medias convey throughout the country. There is no unique success strategy for China. A business's success will depend entirely on their understanding of their targeted market, and the customized strategy they have developed for it.

The Chinese are willingly adapting Western culture and technology to their own needs and Western businesses are adapting their operations to Chinese culture. The two are meeting in the middle. Judging by the lack of foreign business in "lower tier cities" in China, in no doubt there lies production and sales opportunities awaiting foreign businesses in lower tier cities...

Check Your Assumptions

Image source: http://image1.slideserve.com/1916946/check-on-tsr-assumptions-tipsy-msyts-@-each-sample-point-n.jpg

Every time that we approach a problem, in any walk of life, we bring to bear assumptions that limit our ability to conceive fresh solutions. Our experiences condition us to see any new situation in terms of situations we have seen before. We make assumptions unconsciously and put things into a framework with constraints that limit our thinking. Innovative thinkers are always aware of assumptions and deliberately confront them.

There is a story told about a northern pike, a large carnivorous freshwater fish. A pike was put into an aquarium, which had a glass partition dividing it. In the other half from the pike there were many small fish. The pike tried repeatedly to eat the fish but each time hit the glass partition. The partition was eventually removed but the pike did not attack the little fish. It had learnt that trying to eat the little fish was futile and painful so it stopped trying. We often suffer from this Pike Syndrome where an early experience conditions us into wrong assumptions about similar but different situations.

The way that we see things is often circumscribed by assumptions. In the middle ages the definition of astronomy was the study of how the heavenly bodies move around the Earth. The implicit belief was that the Earth was at centre of the Universe. In 1510 a brilliant Polish astronomer, Nicolai Copernicus, postulated the idea that the Sun was the centre of the solar system and that all the planets revolved around the sun. He was able to explain the motions of the planets in a way that made sense but was totally at odds with convention.

The atom was originally defined as the smallest indivisible unit of matter. The assumption was that an atom could never be subdivided. This belief hampered the advancement of science until eventually J. J. Thomson discovered the existence of a sub-atomic particle, the electron in 1887.

In business we make all sorts of assumptions. For example you might hear people say:

* Competition sets the price level in our industry
* We must constantly raise our quality and service delivery
* Our largest customers are our most important customers
* We should hire people who fit in well with our team

Each of these notions needs to be challenged.

Often it is up to a newcomer to an industry to break the existing orthodoxies. For example:

Henry Ford challenged the assumption that automobiles were expensive hand-built carriages for the wealthy.

Anita Roddick challenged the assumption that cosmetics had to be in expensive bottles. Her retail chain, Body Shop, sold products in plastic containers.

IKEA challenged assumptions by allowing customers to collect their furniture from the warehouse.

The low-cost airlines like Southwest and Easyjet challenged the assumptions that you needed to issue tickets, allocate seats and sell through travel agents.

Apple challenged the assumption that a personal computer was functional and not aesthetic.

Innovators know that assumptions are there to be challenged and they relish defying them. How can you do this? Here are some tips:

* Start by recognizing that you and everyone else have ingrained assumptions about every situation.

* Ask plenty of basic questions in order to discover and challenge those assumptions.

* Write a list of all the ground rules and assumptions that apply in your environment and then go through the list and ask, What would happen if we deliberately broke this rule? What if we did the opposite of the norm?

* Pretend you are a complete outsider and ask questions like why do we do it this way at all?

* Reduce a situation to its simplest components in order to take it out of your environment.

* Restate a problem in completely different terms.

Ken Olsen was CEO of DEC who were great innovators in the days of the minicomputer. He said, The best assumption to have is that any commonly held belief is wrong.

CAD Drafting and New Technology Designed

Image source: http://fabrication.net.au/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/cad-design.jpg

To start off with we need to explain what CAD is if you dont already know. Years ago before everyone had a PC or personal computer, drafting was done with a drafting table and a number of other instruments like the ruler, compass, and T-square. Since technology has spread, so have the techniques we use to design blueprints and other 3D Models. The majority of the drafting community and drafting professionals use CAD or Computer Aided Design. This practice has been going on for years and is basically the only one professionals use due to the precision the CAD software designs with, and the ability to execute complex commands that a human hand would take days on instead of minutes. With the addition of new technology and the internet CAD designers can do things never before imagined.
Years ago if you wanted to update your home for example, you would go to the nearest Architectural firm and have them produce the work. Now that the internet is so widely available, and business is done on it all the time, it was only a matter of time until someone designed a website specifically for doing CAD work online. There are several good advantages to using an online CAD drafting company, and the most important would be the reduced cost. Since all the marketing is done online the drafting companies can afford to cut cost and beat their competitors prices. The second advantage is that the blueprints can be sent from anywhere in the world to the customers local printing shop like Staples, or The Office Depot.
People say time is money and this is definitely true in this situation. Since the online drafting companies can use less time to created the blueprints or 3D Models the customer isnt charged anywhere near what they were once paying. Because the blueprints can be sent through an email it saves the cost of shipping and in turn reflects the customers final price. There are only a handful of these online drafting companies, but soon enough there will be no need for local drafting companies and their high prices. With the introduction of the internet has allowed for businesses like CAD drafting companies to do more work in less time, and to do the work more efficiently, and at a better cost than their competitors. To visit one of these online companies please follow this link CAD Drafting Service and 3D CAD Designer Thank You

Remote Code Execution Vulnerability In VLC Media Player
VLC 1

The cyber security and research firm Check Point on May 23, 2017, reported the discovery of a hack that left 200 million users of multimedia streaming applications vulnerable to attackers. The hack affects popular media players VLC Media Player, Kodi, Popcorn Time and Stremio. While these are the services that Check Point analyzed, the prevalence of the vulnerability suggests that its reach may go beyond just these media players.

The vulnerability targeted users downloading subtitles from subtitle services. The attackers were able to plant corrupted subtitle files. The hack begins when a user downloads the corrupt subtitle file for a movie onto their computer. The attackers are then able to take over control of a users computer and could do everything from locking the user out to corrupting the users data on the hard drive.

The scale of the vulnerability demands the attention of users, especially those with affected versions of the media player software. While some of the software vendors have rushed to release patches to address the vulnerability, end users need to upgrade to the latest available versions to avail themselves of the fixes. In case an attacker exploits this remote code execution vulnerability on a users computer, the user can entirely lose control over their personal computer.

Vulnerability Exploited Via Manipulated Subtitles
In order to spread the executable malware onto users devices, the VLC hackers packaged up the corrupted files in subtitle files for media players. To normal users, these files look like harmless subtitle files. A user can download these files manually when looking for a subtitle file for a movie. Alternatively, some media players are set to download the subtitle automatically when the movie begins playing. When the user downloads the file, however, it comes with the hackers exploit, enabling the hacker to take over the computer.

Subtitle files face little scrutiny in the world of media streaming, and most users would never think of them as the source of an attack. Video players, in another oversight, trust the files that get provided as subtitle text files. All of the media players that Check Point analyzed, face vulnerability to attacks that deliver malign instructions via a subtitle text file.

Part of the problem with the media players is due to the fragmented nature of the subtitle formats. Subtitles for movies come in a variety of formats, like SRT, SBV, SCC, STL, and multiple others. Parsing these different formats is a nightmare, and media player-programmers take different approaches to ensure that whatever file a user provides can play. The lack of a standard makes it harder to implement or enforce security protocols to avoid problems such as the remote code execution vulnerability.

What made the situation worse is that attackers are able to manipulate the subtitle text file rankings on subtitle-download websites like OpenSubtitles. Once a hacker is able to dominate the entire subtitle value chain, they can feed users an infected subtitle file, and also ensure that that file stays high in the ranks. This perpetuates the reach of the bad file, since ranking depends on existing downloads, with the more popular downloads being preferred by the media player software.

A History Of Remote Code Execution Exploitation
VLC 3

There have been many notable examples of remote code execution hacks in the past, showing the seriousness of this line of cyber attack.

VLC Media Player, for example, has a history of remote code execution vulnerabilities dating as far back as 2008.

In 2014, Brazilian hacker Reginaldo Silva found a remote code execution vulnerability in Facebook. This vulnerability was related to Facebooks processing of XML entities related to OpenID.

OpenID allows users to log into popular accounts using credentials from providers like Facebook and Google.

Facebooks Bug Bounty program classifies remote code execution flaws as the most serious type of flaw to have since a hacker can do a ton of damage if they are able to run malicious code on Facebooks servers.

Silva also discovered similar remote code execution flaws affecting Google and StackOverflow, as well as many software libraries in the programming languages Java, C#, Ruby, Python, Perl, and others.

In 2015, Patreon got hacked due to what may have been a remote code execution flaw in a public debugger they were using. Of the nature of the flaw in the software being used by Patreon, the Detectify Labs writeup on the hack said,

This is basically Remote Code Execution by design.

An RCE is basically game over. You can inject code directly into the application, exposing all data on the server which the application has access to.

The seriousness of this type of hack means that a hacker has control to steal or manipulate data, including user data or financial details, or do a lot more damage than that.

More recently, Facebook paid out $40,000 in January 2017 to hacker Andrew Leonov for revealing a remote code execution vulnerability in Facebook. This remote code execution vulnerability could be traced to the popular image processing software ImageMagick.

The Need For Patching Computing Systems
The technical term for the VLC hack and other hacks of this sort is a Remote Code Execution or RCE in short. This can only be fixed by patching the affected systems.

According to the Hacking Sec blog, remote code execution describes an attackers ability to execute any commands of the attackers choice on a target machine or in a target process.

In remote code execution, an attacker gets the ability to upload machine code or some other executable code on a machine belonging to the hacking target. Once a hacker uploads a so-called arbitrary code exploit, they can then run their exploit to take data or wreak havoc on the targets computing system.

The ways in which a hacker can cause damage once they have successfully gained control via a remote code execution are almost boundless. The hacker can read files from the target computer system and network, make uncontrolled network connections, or initiate the denial of service attacks on the server. Beyond that, the hacker can completely disable a computing system if they wish, leading to multiple disruptions in the availability and functionality of computing services.

VLC rushed to release patches to contain the vulnerability. However, should an attacker find a way to exploit the system before the patches are applied, any of the 200 million users of the vulnerable media players could face attacks. On user computers, remote code execution might target personal data or other important information.

How VLC Software Users Can Protect Themselves
As the VLC hack shows, with 200 million users vulnerable to just this exploit, users need to safeguard against remote code execution. The popularity of media players like VLC indicates this. If such popular software can be hacked, it puts many ordinary computer and phone users at risk.

Given the growth in the adoption of computing devices and smart devices worldwide, this represents a great part of the population.

Updating to the latest versions of software is a great proactive strategy that users can take to protect themselves against such hacks. This is because the latest software updates typically patch all the critical vulnerabilities before release. A user running the most recent software is, therefore, less vulnerable to exploits.

The best way to protect yourself, in light of these vulnerabilities, is to apply the patches from VLC and other media players.

Lessons From The VLC Bug
VLC 2

The VLC bug shows that hacks, and remote code execution, in particular, are a menace. Other media players besides VLC Media Player also showed this same vulnerability. In vulnerabilities like this, hackers can take over users computer systems and execute arbitrary code of their choice.

Beyond applying the latest software patches, users should be taking measures, such as the use of proxy services and browsing anonymously, in order to limit their exposure to hacking.

Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Jeff Bezos, Larry Page, Tej Kohli, Mark Zuckenberg and Brad Smith Leaders In Internet Technology
