Blockless was founded on the belief that privacy, safety and freedom on the Internet are basic human rights in the digital age, and we've fought to extend these liberties to our users.
The corporations that seek to control the Internet are evolving, finding new ways to monitor, control and restrict your activity online. This evolution has negatively impacted some of our users and jeopardized your freedom online.
In response, Blockless must evolve too.
Your privacy online means your ability to hide your IP address and browse anonymously without anybody monitoring your browsing activity.
All paying Blockless users can now hide their identity online using a VPN client built directly into the Blockless App, at no extra cost.
This feature, known as Blockless Secure, is the most substantial addition to the Blockless App since its conception. It fundamentally changes your ability to protect your privacy on the Internet.
Your safety online means your ability to protect yourself from hackers, data thieves, viruses, scams, advertisements, unwanted tracking and other malware online.
The Blockless Smart Guard uses advanced malware blocking to defend you from from malicious intrusions that seek to monitor your activity and disrupt your browsing experience.
Blockless Secure uses bank level encryption to protect your logins and sensitive personal information from data-thieves and unwelcome surveillance.
Your freedom online means your ability to bypass invisible boundaries and censorship on the Internet.
It means visiting the websites you want, when you want, regardless of where you are in the world, by activating Blockless Secure mode in the Blockless App.
Blockless Secure and Smart Guard are both included in the Blockless App. If you are a Blockless user and you haven't installed the App yet, you can download it here.

Authenticitcy unconditionally guaranteed.
Ferdinand II (Ferdinando Carlo, January 12, 1810 – May 22, 1859) was the King of the Two Sicilies from 1830 until his death.
Ferdinand was born in Palermo, the son of King Francis I of the Two Sicilies and his wife and first cousin Maria Isabella of Spain.
His paternal grandparents were King Ferdinand I of the Two Sicilies and Queen Marie Caroline of Austria. His maternal grandparents were Charles IV of Spain and Maria Luisa of Parma.
Ferdinand I and Charles IV were brothers, both sons of Charles III of Spain and Maria Amalia of Saxony.
In his early years he was fairly popular. Progressives credited with Liberal ideas and in addition, his free and easy manners endeared him to the so-called lazzaroni, the lower classes of Neapolitan society.
On succeeding to the throne in 1830, he published an edict in which he promised to give his most anxious attention to the impartial administration of justice, to reform the finances, and to use every effort to heal the wounds which had afflicted the Kingdom for so many years. His goal, he said, was to govern his Kingdom in a way that would bring the greatest happiness to the greatest number of his subjects while respecting the rights of his fellow monarchs and those of the Roman Catholic Church.
The early years of his reign were comparatively peaceful: he cut taxes and expenditures, had the first railway in Italy built (between Naples and the royal palace at Portici), his fleet had the first steamship in the Italian Peninsula, and he had telegraphic connections established between Naples and Palermo (Sicily).
However, in 1837 he violently suppressed Sicilian demonstrators demanding a constitution and maintained strict police sureveillance in his domains. Progressive intellectuals, who were motivated by visions of a new society founded upon a modern constitution, continued to demand for the King to grant a constitution and to liberalize his rule.
In September 1847, violent riots inspired by Liberals broke out in Reggio Calabria and in Messina and were put down by the military. On January 12, 1848 a rising in Palermo, Sicily, spread throughout the island and served as a spark for the Revolutions of 1848 all over Europe.
After similar revolutionary outbursts in Salerno, south of Naples, and in the Cilento region which were backed by the majority of the intelligentsia of the Kingdom, on January 29, 1848 King Ferdinand was forced to grant a constitution patterned on the French Charter of 1830.
A dispute, however, arose as to the nature of the oath which should be taken by the members of the chamber of deputies. As an agreement could not be reached and the King refused to compromise, riots continued in the streets. Eventually, the King ordered the army to break them and dissolved the national parliament on March 13, 1849. Although the constitution was never formally abrogated, the King returned to reigning as an absolute monarch.
During this period, Ferdinand showed his attachment to Pope Pius IX by granting him asylum at Gaeta. The pope had been temporarily forced to flee from Rome following similar revolutionary disturbances. (see Roman Republic (19th century), Giuseppe Mazzini.
Meantime Sicily proclaimed its independence under the leadership of Ruggeru Sèttimu, who on April 13, 1848 declared the King deposed. In response, the King assembled an army of 20,000 under the command of General Carlo Filangieri and dispatched it to Sicily to subdue the Liberals and restore his authority. A naval flotilla sent to Sicilian waters shelled the city of Messina with "savage barbarity" for eight hours after its defenders had already surrendered, killing many civilians and earning the King the nickname "Re` Bomba" ("King Bomb").
After a campaign lasting close to nine months, Sicily's Liberal regime was completely subdued on May 15, 1849.

According to a document released recently by the Third Survey and Design Institute Group of the Ministry of Railways, the construction of the high-speed passenger line from Beijing to Shenyang is expected to be completed in the year 2014. This line was approved by the National Development and Reform Commission last year.
The document also says that the 705.156-kilometer-long railway line will have 16 stations, with five in Beijing: Beijing Station, Xinghuo Station, West Shunyi Station, South Huairou Station, and East Miyun Station.
Today, it takes about four hours to travel from Beijing to Shenyang by bullet train. But the trains running on this line will have a speed of up to 350 kilometers per hour, which will cut the journey time between the two cities to two hours. It marks a great progress in Chinese history of high-speed railway construction. The project is scheduled to start at the end of this year.


We can see here the single card struggles at the highest resolution. The problem isn't seen here with some big numbers being shown. For the most part the setup does fall behind the HD 5970 but there's no denying the numbers.


Pier 21 served as "the gateway to Canada" for one million immigrants and refugees between 1928 and 1971. It was the place that first welcomed these newcomers to Canada and where soldiers destined to serve overseas in the Second World War departed Pier 21 holds an incredibly important place in our history, for Canadians as a whole. Today Pier 21, a national historic site, is also a national museum. It is frequented by locals, tourists and of course school and community groups!
As you walk in, one of the first things you see is a wall of bricks with the names of immigrants who have chosen to support the Museum. It is fun to search for names you may recognize! Is your family name on the wall? Visiting the Canadian Museum of Immigration at Pier 21 is an incredibly important activity and 'a must' for anyone new to Nova Scotia or Canada!

We went to the market, with a smile on our faces and as we walked down the pier we ended at Pier 21. It is rather mind blowing to think how many Canadians came through here, and how much of our country was built by people who walked right through that exact spot.
So much of who we are and what we do as a country comes from that single amazing building.
I love the opportunity to share different cultural traditions with my family and to explore how they have interacted and continue to interact with our own identities, culture and expression.
I enjoyed hearing stories from people , it was quite powerful and interesting.
Meghan, our tour guide, was great. We learned a lot on the tour. I also had Brandon find some information on my family history.
what an inspirational experience and heartening stories from people.
When I visited Pier 21, I was not only astounded by the incredible information provided by the kind staff but the visual presentation, called Oceans of Hope was absolutely fantastic! Not quite a film, not quite a live performance, but non the less amazing! It gave me a really accurate and creative idea of the people who would be passing through Pier 21, and what life would have been like for them. Talk is nice, but its cool to see it right in front of you! You cant go to Pier 21 without watching it! It MADE the experience for me!

The Strategic Training Route Complex is a series of training routes operated by the United States Strategic Command where bomber aircraft are able to train using tactics for low-level flight. During the Cold War, fourteen routes were operated by the 99th Strategic Weapons Wing. Range control was provided by the 25th Strategic Training Squadron (now known as the 25th Space Range Squadron). The current routes are located in Wyoming, South Dakota, North Dakota, and Montana. One downside to the routes being out west, is that it made it prohibitive for units in the Eastern United States to travel west without expending flight hours.

I got an idea to turn some styrofoam cups into fun flowers! They turned out great and kids can make them into centerpieces or they would make cute gifts for teachers, grandparents, etc.
Start by cutting slits around the top of the styrofoam cup. Carefully bend them backwards to make flower petals. Pieces of styrofoam WILL break so grab a piece of clear tape and stick it to the back. For the second type of flower cut actual flower petal shapes by cutting "triangles" downwards. Poke a hole on the bottom of the cup and stick a straw through it. Cut the piece that sticks out so it looks like part of the flower.
Grab whatever color paints you like and make it beautiful! Let dry and put them in a vase (or a plastic water bottle).
