The Legend of Seven Cutter - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Legend of Seven Cutter - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:
"The "Seven Cutter" is a legendary fighter throughout various high schools within Korea. His name is Jung Han Soo and he remains unbeaten by the toughest fighters from many different schools. Many who had tried to defeat him not only suffered the circumstances of losing, but is left with his trademark: a 7-centimeter scar the he always leaves behind them to remind them of their loss. When a high-schooler named Han Soo at Seong Ji High School, he is instantly mistaken for the "Seven Cutter". An innocent kid, at first he is blissfully unaware of why the other students are giving him such an icy reception. So when the toughest boy at Seong Ji High School challenges him to a battle for the title of the toughest guy in school, he has no choice but defend himself and fight. Then, when he accidentally wins, things start getting really confusing for him. "

Rule of Law | LexisNexis India

Rule of Law | LexisNexis India:
Transparency of the Legal System"The Rule of Law, in its most basic form, is the principle that no one is above the law. The rule follows logically from the idea that truth, and therefore law, is based upon fundamental principles which can be discovered, but which cannot be created through an act of will.

The most important application of the rule of law is the principle that governmental authority is legitimately exercised only in accordance with written, publicly disclosed laws adopted and enforced in accordance with established procedural steps that are referred to as due process. The principle is intended to be a safeguard against arbitrary governance, whether by a totalitarian leader or by mob rule. Thus, the rule of law is hostile both to dictatorship and to anarchy."

Top 5 Ways to Access Blocked Websites [How To]

Top 5 Ways to Access Blocked Websites [How To]: "there are a number of methods you can use to unblock any website that you are currently unable to access. Sometimes a particular method might not work on a certain website, so you may need to try some other method for unblocking it. However you should be careful while gaining access to restricted websites as you might have to face serious consequences if your school/college authorities or your employer finds out about it."

Method 1: Using Proxy Servers

There are a number of proxy servers using which you can gain access to the blocked websites. A proxy server is a server that acts as an intermediary for requests from clients seeking resources from other servers and hides your IP address in the process. However you should be careful while using proxies since they can record your login details, credit card number etc.

Anyway, here is a list of some of the most popular free proxy servers:

Method 2: Using Site IP Address

If using proxy servers doesn’t work, you can try unblocking the website using its IP address. Simply type the IP address of the website instead of the URL in your browser’s address bar. To find the IP address of any website, visit this link.

Method 3: Using Online Translators

Popular free online translators such as Google Translator and Google Language Tools allow you to translate text as well as any website into your desired language. In order to unblock a blocked website, you need to enter the website URL in the “Translate a webpage” column and select English to English in the language selector box since you intend to read the website in English itself. Click on translate and the webpage will appear as if it is inside the Google Translator page. But indirectly we have been able to unblock the website quite easily.

Method 4: Using URL Redirection

You can make use of URL redirection services like TinyURL, Bitly or snipurl.com toshorten the URL of the blocked website and then use that URL to visit the blocked website whenever you want. Taking the example of Snipurl, you simply need to open the URL of the blocked website in the “Long URL” column and then click on “Snip It” button. You will be provided with a shortened URL, something likehttp://snipurl.com/2cgaub. You need to copy that URL and note it down somewhere. Whenever you need to unblock the website in the future, simply enter the above URL in your browser address bar and you will be able to access the website.

Method 5: Using Cached Pages

Many popular search engines like Google cache pages of each and every website they index. Basically cached pages are simply pages with the content of the website but without the style sheet elements. In order to view these cached pages, you simply need to enter the URL of the blocked website in Google or Yahoo Search. Earlier cached pages used to appear right below every website when you searched for anything on Google. Now, you need to hover over the website and click the right arrow. You will get a preview of the website, with “Cached” and “Similar” written right above the preview. Click on “Cached” to indirectly gain access to the blocked website.


5 more rather unconventional methods of unblocking websites, most of which are not so common and thus generally not known to most people. So here they go:

Method 1: Using Google Mobile Search

You can use Google Mobile Search to indirectly gain access to your desired website. Google Mobile Search removes the CSS & javascript elements from the web pages and breaks a large page into several small pages. Though the output will appear as if you are viewing the website on a mobile phone, this method certainly works quite well.

Method 2: Get Web Pages Via Email

Web2Mail is a great free service that sends websites you want to read directly into your inbox. Simply send an email to www@web2mail.com with the URL of the blocked website as the subject title and you will start receiving web pages from the website into your inbox.

Method 3: Using Encrypted VPN Service

The Your Freedom OpenVPM service is a sophisticated application that hides your network address from the end server. You just need to download the client application , install it and subsequently run it on your computer. Your PC will start acting as an anonymous web proxy and you can safely gain access to all blocked websites.

Similarly you can also download and use Tor , which is an advanced proxy server that uses multiple anonymous servers for a single Web request and allows you to access blocked websites while remaining anonymous.

Method 4: Using JAP

JAP or JonDo is a popular client that acts as a local proxy between the browser and the internet, allowing you to browse the blocked websites while remaining anonymous the whole time. As JAP uses a single static address which is shared by many JAP users, the end server won’t get to know your real IP address. All you need to do is to download the JAP client and install it. Then you need to change your LAN settings in whatever browser you are using (through Tools->Internet Options) and check “Use a Proxy server for your LAN” option (or “Manual Proxy configuration” in Firefox). Enter “127.0.0.1″ in the server column and “4001″ in the port column. Then run the JAP client and check the “On” option under Anonymity tab. Now simply open your browser and browse the blocked websites freely.

Method 5: Using Wayback Machine

Wayback Machine is an internet service that keeps a copy of almost all websites on the internet right from the date they were started. Cached pages of each website are available, using which you can indirectly gain access to the blocked websites. However the only downside is that there is a 6 month time lag before the pages appear in the Wayback Machine.

Let’s see an example. My ISP has blocked IsoHunt, which is a major bit-torrent website. However by entering the URL of IsoHunt on Wayback Machine, I was able to access it without any problems. I then searched “America” on IsoHunt. Here’s the screenshot (Click on the image to enlarge it).
