Fortunately, YouTube has set up another Olympic channel for users world wide called: Summer Games. It will have a collection of videos and reports from Associated Press and Reuters.

“The Summer Games YouTube Channel is the ideal first stop for fans because it provides a comprehensive view of what’s going on in Beijing,” said Steve Grove, YouTube’s head of news and politics, in announcing the channel. “Contributing media organizations have their fingers on the city’s pulse and they’re sharing the action with a worldwide audience through one location on YouTube.”

These programs of news, recaps, features, profiles and the color and culture of Beijing from YouTube’s partners:

Just few steps. First download est’s version (no ads, no spyware) of PPLive. This version is the earliest version of PPLive(aka Synacast, aka SynaLive), a well-known free P2P Live Streaming service in China. CCTV(CCTV here means China Central Television, not Closed-circuit television) give PPLive rights to broadcast Olympics. So it’s totally legal. Too bad CCTV do not provide English commentators.

Second, unpack, and run PE.exe. If you see Chinese characters jut right click the icon on your system tray, choose Languages - 1033 English

Next, copy paste these URL in your browser. If it doesn’t work just restart your browser for syncast:// schema activation

You can also choose a Channel from the Channels menu in PPLive instead of copy-paste these long URL’s

Click the thumb to view the original demo picture.

Finally, when buffer is 100% complete, ignore everything PPLive says, open the streaming in VLCPlayer or Windows Media Player with the address:
http://127.0.0.1:8888/1.asf
or
mms://127.0.0.1:8888/1.asf
or
http://127.0.0.1:8888/
or
mms://127.0.0.1:8888/
or
http://your_IP_address:8888/1.asf for your LAN friends, yes you can install PPLive on one machine and streaming for whole LAN. If you open multipule channels in PPLive, just change the :8888 port to :8889. e.g. http://127.0.0.1:8889/

If you find est’s version of PPLive un-trust worthy, just try download the newest official version of PPLive(with Ads of course), and open the installation folder look for /ChannelXML/Default.XML

You can see two samples of this new ad style. When I clicked the arrow on the right bottom, the ad slide changed a new image. This was like a slide show. Is Google testing its new ad style? Who knows! But I think this style fits this advertisement from one of China’s biggest websites, Sina.

Performancing Ads is managed by SplashPress Media. We know that 125×125 ads are the most popular on blogs today. Performancing Ads is right the best provider of these 125×125 ad panels.

As a publisher, you can sell ads here. As a advertiser, you can buy ads here. Besides, you can exchange ads here.

Firstly, you register via the links (Publisher, Advertiser). You can choose your Primary Role as a publisher or an advertiser.

After that, you need add a site. You fill in the site name, site URL, site description, site tags, site categories.

Then you need add a Region. Regions define where ads will appear on your site. You should create a different region for each different location. Advertisers will pay more for regions that are located closer to the top of the page. You give your region a name. You define the ads across and down and price per ad per week. You can check “No Follow”. You can configure some filters and margin between ads. Then an ad region is created.

Now you can install a plugin for WordPress, Drupal, Joomla or Stand Alone. Then your ad is in market for sell. If some advertiser is interested in your ad panel, he or she can check your ad details. If he or she feel it is good, he can book it. Then your ad is sold.

As for an advertiser, he or she can puchase ads here easily.

Anyway, don’t forget that you can make money online by Performancing Ads.

Have you ever noticed these trucks in the square ahead Carrefour in this famous photo? Did you think these trucks were placed by people who took part in the boycott on Carrefour in Hefei?

Well, I took it for granted as you. But maybe we were wrong. A source says these trucks were placed according to the demand of the authorities to prevent angry people getting too close to this Carrefour subbranch and smashing the French super market! Another source says it was done by the market itself. Maybe it will be a secret for ever.

This photo was taken on the scene Hefei citizens were boycotting Carrefour on April 19.

April 20, 2008 13:45
I have just confirmed that the school authorities have taken action to stop the students going out of the campus and keep them staying in. Just now I called some friends of mine in other colleges in Hefei.

April 20, 2008 17:00 NEW!
A source says according to the Anhui authorities, Hefei’s institutions for higher learning, especially some of the universities and colleges near those Carrefour subbranches will be locked from tomorrow (Monday, April 21st) on. But until now there is no sign that my school (USTC) will put into practice.

Besides, it is raining today in Hefei. So the scale of today’s boycott has brought down.

April 20, 2008 21:00 NEW!
Add some photos taken at about 16:00 this afternoon from local forum.

As a blog reporter, I have a tired day today. Good night!

In the afternoon, they went on calling on other citizens to boycott Carrefour when they were in front of that Carrefour subbranch. Though the road went crowded, everything there was in order.

Maybe this night people will go on. Anyway, I will focus on this.

Carrefour subbranch

downtown

Update: This afternoon there were still crowds of people in front of the Carrefour subbranch in Anhui International Shopping Center. I guess maybe they were new.

I will keep on watching and writing in this blog. If you have any information to share or any question to ask, feel free to leave your comments.

Some elementary school students protested outside the Carrefour in Anhui International Shopping Center Tuesday afternoon after school. They hold a poster saying “Oppose France. Oppose Carrefour. Shopping here is shameful. Support the Olympics.”

Here are some photos of the scene.

Here are some other photos which show some middle school students are signing in a poster saying “Love Our China! Oppose Carrefour. Oppose Taiwan and Tibet Independence.”

Friday evening the situation went intenser. Some university students and college students joined in. Students from Anhui University, Anhui Medical University, Anhui college of traditional Chinese medicine and Anhui Agricultural University protested outside Carrefour. But few of students from the university I am studying and living in, one of China’s top 10 universities, University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) went there to join in the protest.

Thousands of young people went to the Carrefour, standing in the square in front of Anhui International Shopping Center.

Some young people went into the Carrefour and called on people not to buy in this French super market. Some young people even stepped on French flags. But everything there was in order.

Update 8:00 March 19th, 2008:

Last night Chengdu’s Public Security Bureau confirmed a man from the Aba Tibetan autonomous region of Sichuan Province had done a criminal case and been arrested. A man was injured. But they said that was only a normal case. (Source: NetEase [Chinese])

Yes, they said the criminal case was true, but they said nothing about the details about the criminal. What does “normal” mean in China this moment? Maybe you can imagine.

Here are some photos taken by some eyewitnesses.

Update: I have created a Chinese language version of this video.

The words below are from Facebook group Tibet WAS,IS,and ALWAYS WILL BE a part of China

Tibet WAS,IS,and ALWAYS WILL BE a part of China

Do u bandwagon jumpers really care about Tibet? becuz u know u dont,Tibet is just a TOOL for u guys to throw things at China…Well..since u want to bash China,but do u know ANYTHING about Chinese history?? let me start by telling u this:The years that Tibet has been a part of China is way the hell longer then US/Canada/Aus/NewZealand’s history combined all together!

INVITE ALL YOUR FRIENDS!!!

Inspired by top view Youtube Video ( I did not make this )

First, i would like to say this is an very controversial issue and i in every way respect your ideology.

But one thing that i personally abominate with passion is prejudice. By which i mean people judge with out seeing the whole picture of the event and obtain a very limited perspective.

After all, there are some important facts what i would like to address, first is the global media coverage. Media is the God, yes it is, powerful, persuasive. They take advantage of the faintharted - who are easily persuaded, they make up facts to sell magazines, they provide us with with facts with their perspective.

As much as media is entertainment, it is political. Same with the US government, it has been with war with china for some time already. From the escape of Li Hong Zhi, to supporting independence of Taiwan, to backing up Tibet. There is no doubt china and US is going against each other regardless of what the government spoke person say, and this is very crucial to understand. Reason for this? Fame, Power, Money. If you are the world’s richest man, would you sit on your ass and watch other people get rich and pass you by?

I personally think that Dali Lama is tricking the world, yes, hes playing with you guys, setting a trap. By being such a humanitarians, he has gained people’s attention and respect (i do respect his ideologies very much) - turning it into political power. He is the man who wants to be the emperor, he is the man who is day dreaming.

Remember, China will never give up on its land, because only together, are we one. Same thing goes to Taiwan.

Actually, I have more than 10 blogs now. Some are built on Blog Service Providers’ platform. Some are stand-alone. You may know there’s a Great Fire Wall on China’s Internet. So many BSPs are blocked by it, such as WordPress.com and My.Opera.Com. What a great pity!

Why in the post title I say it’s a new start? Yes, this is my first time to use a dot com domain. Before, I was always using dot cn domain. Why? Only because it’s very, very cheap. But now, I will use this dot come to build my new blog.

As for the blog title, you may pay attention to, “everydayElife”, I add an “E” in everyday life. You know many web masters like placing an “i” or “e” in their domains. Yes, that’s the custom. But for another reason, “e” means “easy”(易) in Chinese. So I choose that wonderful letter in my domain:)

A New Blog, A New Start. Anyway, I will walk on my way!
