The Rio de Janeiro bid for the 2016 Summer Olympics and Paralympics was a successful bid to host the Games of the XXXI Olympiad and the XV Paralympic Games, respectively. It was submitted on September 7, 2007, and recognized as an Applicant city by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) one week after.

With that out of the way, there are dozens of VPN services you can use. Two popular ones are TotalVPN and ExpressVPN. The instructions are pretty much the same no matter which service you decide to use:

Sign up for an account (some will require credit card information, others, like TotalVPN, do not).
Download the app to the device(s) you plan to watch on.
Open the app.
Connect to a server in the United Kingdom if you want to watch BBC’s stream. If you want to watch CBC’s stream, connect to a Canadian server. If you want to watch any other network’s stream, connect to a server in the country where the network is broadcast from.
Go to your stream of choice, and enjoy. You should be unblocked.

Other than that, just keep refreshing certain other sites streams to catch one.

Local media reports said the Russian vice-consul was in a car with his wife and daughter when the robber approached on a bike.

Unconfirmed reports on social media said the diplomat had used jiu-jitsu to disarm the robber.

Kitty Chiller says Aussie water-based athletes not worrying about Rio contamination threat

“They’re just getting on with it,’’ Chiller said.

“They’re used to it and I think at this point in time, we ain’t going to change the water quality in the next week, so they’ll just get in and do their best.’’ Helicopters have been deployed each morning at 6am to fly over the Copacabana and Ipanema region in a bid to identify floating debris. “They’ve also installed new pipes to take the sewerage out,’’ Chiller said. “They’ve installed the nets to collect the rubbish, it’s been passed by the World Health Organisation and they’re doing water quality tests at eight different locations.

“(For us it’s) basic commonsense, health and hygiene really. “Taking a shower as soon as they get out, washing their hands, not touching ropes or boats with bare hands. All the coaches are using gloves, there’s first aid kits in all the coaches boats, just basic health and hygiene protocols.

“Our synchronised swimming team arrive tomorrow, so I’m going to send them down to give them some hints on keeping their mouths closed under water. “Our medical teams have supplied us all with all the necessary probiotics.’’ While local authorities including Rio Mayor Eduardo Paes have acknowledged the failure of the city’s water clean-up efforts, calling it a “lost chance” and a “shame,” Olympic officials continue to insist Rio’s waterways will be safe for athletes and visitors.

What are the gun laws in brazil like? Can you open carry as a law abiding citizen? How do the cops get away with shooting first so often, is the crime so bad that people just assume anyone that gets shot by cops probably deserved it?
