Now with the Olympics just a few days ahead the “block” seams to be even tighter to avoid bad publicity. But thanks to GIFC (Global Internet Freedom Consortium) there seems to be a way through the Internet block at least.

You can obtain the GIFC Anti-Censorship Tools Bundle from their products and services page and start leaking news (if you wish). Regardless, I wouldn’t feel comfortable knowing that someone (or something) was reading all my emails and tracking my way around the Internet.

Finally, I find it odd that a country with close to a fifth of the world’s population appears to live under a dictatorship and furthermore not demanding a change! What’s your take on this?

A few years ago he starred in the British TV-show “When will I be famous”;

He’s now currently working at “La Clique”, a modern circus/cabaret theatre in Melbourne, performing an impressive 9 times a week. Besides being incredibly flexible (obviously) he also has a few other tricks he enjoys pulling off like swallowing swords and putting other objects in places that most people find insane.

The ongoing success is, according to himself, a result of combining humour with artistry. I agree

Please let me know what you think after you’ve installed and tried it. With all the hype upfront I’m sure we’re going to get mixed reactions.

The world’s longest “regular” bus journey was launched yesterday, leaving London on the 15,000-mile (24140 kilometres), 84-day trip to Australia.

For some of the 38 travellers watching their last London sunrise for months, the OzBus offers the long and scenic way home; for others, a spectacular beginning to a career break. But as the pioneering passengers stood waiting yesterday to board for the world’s longest bus ride, one phrase kept being repeated: “The trip of a lifetime”.

Each of the passengers has paid £3,750 for accommodation, most meals and transportation – though the hop between Bali and Darwin in northern Australia will cost them another £175; the bus is to be shipped by cargo vessel, while the passengers fly.

The route from London to Sydney passes through some unforgettable locations

Prague

The first substantial stop on the route, the party will be given a chance to stretch their legs in the historic Czech capital, before losing them again on the city’s famous beer.

Transylvania

Travelling through Austria and Hungary, the landscape takes on a more Eastern European feel. Passing through the dense Transylvanian forest, passengers may spot a bear, a wolf, or even a lynx.

Istanbul

The gateway between Europe and Asia will be a welcome stop for the coach-weary crew, who can sample the local bazaars and explore the city’s renowned Ottoman architecture.

Gallipoli

Passengers will stop to pay their respects at the site of a First World War battle of deep significance to Australians and New Zealanders.

Bam

Just before the Pakistani border lies what is left of the Unesco World Heritage Site city of Bam. The ancient mud-walled metropolis is 2000 years old and a breathtaking place to visit.

Taj Mahal

No world adventure is complete without visiting the Taj Mahal, the ultimate architectural expression of love, built by Moghal emperor Shah Jahan for his favourite wife, Mumtaz Mahal, who died giving birth

Everest

Once they have made it across the Nepal-China border to Tibet (no mean feat in itself), the crew face a dicey journey to the base camp of the tallest mountain in the world.

Sumatra

Passing through Malaysia, the bus stops off at Sumatra, the largest of the 13,000 islands that make up Indonesia, with lush rainforest, indigenous tigers and active volcanoes.

Uluru (Ayers Rock)

This is a photo moment that no trip to Australia ignores. The most recognisable icon of Australia’s scenery, this epic russet-coloured sandstone form is almost a kilometre high.

Sydney

Picking its way along the last stretch of undeveloped coastline, the bus takes in Sydney harbour, and the journey is complete.

Foam swallowed an entire beach and half the nearby buildings, including the local lifeguards’ centre, in a freak display of nature at Yamba in New South Wales.

One minute a group of teenage surfers were waiting to catch a wave, the next they were swallowed up in a giant bubble bath. The foam was so light that they could puff it out of their hands and watch it float away.

Scientists explain that the foam is created by impurities in the ocean, such as salts, chemicals, dead plants, decomposed fish and excretions from seaweed.

All are churned up together by powerful currents which cause the water to form bubbles.
