The first four scholars nominated for expulsion from the academy are:

Rosita Bareng - Dubai
Gemma Fitzgerald - Australia
Honora “Oona” Barreto - Bukidnon
Kristoff Abenico - Canada

So now there are four nominees. The scholar with the highest text votes will be safe from expulsion, then the teachers (Jim Paredes, Maribeth Bichara, etc.) will choose who among the three remaining nominees will they save from being expelled, and then there’ll be two remaining scholars whose fate will depend on the other 16 scholars who will also vote. A lot of people are betting that Rosita Bareng will be the 1st scholar to be expelled from the academy. She reminds us of Racquel Reyes, the teacher from Pinoy Big Brother Season 1 who was also hated by the viewers.

Yahoo Mail is perhaps the most widely used free web based email provider. This is why its the most targeted email service as far as phishing attacks are concerned. Now Yahoo introduces the “sign-in seal” in Yahoo mail. A sign-in seal is a secret message or photo that Yahoo! will display on your computer only. Look for it every time you sign in to make sure you’re on a genuine Yahoo! site. If the message, photo, or colors are different, you may have landed on a phishing site. The limitation of this is with public computers as stated in the FAQ.

What is phishing?

Phishing - a play on the word “fishing” - is an attempt to steal your password and private account info. Phishers can set up fake web sites that look like those of trusted companies like Yahoo! to trick you into disclosing your user name and password. To learn more about phishing, visit the Yahoo! Security Center.

How does a sign-in seal protect me?

A sign-in seal is a secret between the computer you set it up on and Yahoo!. So when you sign in to Yahoo! from this computer, your sign-in seal tells you that you’re seeing a genuine Yahoo! site, not a phishing site.

Just when you thought you’ve had enough of those “telefantasyas” or “fantaseryes” on Philippine television (from Encantadia, Majika, Kampanerang Kuba, Etheria, Captain Barbell, Darna, Super Inggo, the list goes on and on) comes another one from GMA entitled Atlantica. The cast is lead by Dingdong Dantes and Iza Calzado. From its title, it seems this is going to be about an underwater world much like the telefantasya which started it all, Marina.
