How to Prevent your Blogger Blog from Redirecting to Country-Specific URLs (keep .com only)
Google, as most would know, redirects Blogger blogs to country-specific domains.
For instance, if you open example.blogspot.com in your browser,
For instance, if you open example.blogspot.com in your browser,
you might be redirected to example.blogspot.in if you are located in India
or to example.blogspot.au if you access the same blog from Australia.
The main reason why Google implemented country-specific redirection is selective censorship – they can now easily block a blog, or a particular page on a blog, in one country but still serve it in other regions.
Blogger and Country-Specific Domains
My traffic logs suggest that country-specific redirection in Blogger is now live in at least 15 countries. Here’s a complete list:
India [blogspot.in], Australia [blogspot.com.au], UK [blogspot.co.uk], Japan [blogspot.jp], New Zealand [blogspot.co.nz], Canada [blogspot.ca], Germany [blogspot.de], Italy [blogspot.it], France [blogspot.fr], Sweden [blogspot.se], Spain [blogspot.com.es], Portugal [blogspot.pt], Brazil [blogspot.com.br], Argentina [blogspot.com.ar], Mexico [blogspot.mx]
Prevent Blogger from Redirecting to Country-Specific Domains
This country based URL redirection does mean some negative consequences to your Blogger blog. For example:
The social stats – or Facebook Likes, Google +1s and Tweet counts – for your blog stories may be diluted as the URLs for the same story become different from different visitors.
You will have a similar problem if you are using an external commenting platform like Disqus or Facebook Comments.
Also, if canonicalization isn’t implemented properly, it may cost you some Google juice as external websites may link to your country-specific pages.
If you are not happy with the idea of Blogger redirecting your blog to a different URL, you can add the following piece of code to your Blogger template and it will always serve the .com address to your visitors irrespective of their geographic location.
Go to your blog inside the Blogger Dashboard and choose Template. Then click the “Edit HTML” button followed by “Proceed.” Next, copy-paste the following code into the template after the <head> tag.

var ncr = "http://" + blog.substr(0, blog.indexOf("."));
ncr += ".blogspot.com/ncr" + slug;
window.location.replace(ncr);
}
</script>
Click the Save Template button and now your Blogger Blog will always serve with the blogspot.com URL.
This simple script parses the domain name (document.location.hostname) of your blog page and if it includes a country-specific URL (like blogspot.in), it will force-redirect the visitor to the blogspot.com address using the /ncr switch.

HATIMAYE URUSI YAMPA KIBALI CHA KUSAFIRIA MVUJISHA SIRI ZA MAREKANI EDWARD SNOWDERN
Serikali ya Urusi imetoa nyaraka kwa Mfanyakazi wa zamani wa Shirika la Kijasusi nchini Marekani CIA Edward Snowden zinazomruhusu kuondoka katika eneo la Uwanja Ndege ambalo amekuwa akiishi tangu awasili akitoke China. Shirika la Habari la Umma la Urusi RIA limethibitisha kupatiwa kwa nyaraka hizo kwa Snowden ambaye amekuwa akihaha kuomba hifadhi kipindi hiki akisakwa kwa udi na uvumba na Serikali ya Marekani baada ya kuvujisha siri za Shirika la CIA. Nyaraka hizo zimetoa nafasi kwa Snpwden kuweza kuingia nchini Urusi na kuomba hifadhi ay hata kuondoka na kueleka katika nchi yoyote ambayo itakuwa tayari kumhifadhi bila ya walinzi wa mpaka kumzuia. Taarifa zinasema baada ya Snowden kupatiwa nyaraka hizo muhimu anatazamia wakati wowote ataondoka katika eneo la Uwanja wa Ndege wa Moscow alipokuwa anahifadhiwa sehemu ya abiria wanaopita nchi hiyo kueleka mataifa mengine.
Snowden amepata nyaraka hizo muhimu kutoka kwa usaidizi wa Mwanasheria wake Anatoly Kucherena ambaye amekwenda katika Uwanja wa Ndega wa Sheremetyevo kukutana na mteja wake. Nyaraka hizo amekabidhiwa Kucherena ambaye ndiye atamkabidhi Snowden anayetajwa tayari ameshabadilishiwa hadi mavazi yake tayari kwa kuingia nchini Urusi na kuendelea na mchakato wa kuomba hifadhi ya kudumu. Mwanasheria wa Snowden, Kucherena amesema iwapo mteja wake atakuwa tayari kupatiwa uraia wa Urusi atafanya kila linalowezekana ili kuhakikisha anapata nafasi hiyo ambayo huenda ikatolewa kwake bila pingamizi.
Mapema mwezi huu Snowden alijitokeza na kuomba hifadhi nchini Urusi ambapo aliambiwa mchakato wa yeye kupewa hadhi huyo huenda ungechukua hata kipindi cha miezi mitatu kabla ya kukubaliwa. Mfanyakazi huyo wa zamani wa Shirika la Kijasusi la Nchini Marekani CIA Edward Snowden amekuwa akippata hifadhi ya muda nchini Urusi kitu ambacho kimechangia kuleta mgogoro wa uhusiano baina ya Serikali za Washington na Moscow.

Watch! Dj Khaled Proposes to Nicki Minaj on live MTV
DJ Khaled is all about unity. When he drops his seventh album, Suffering From Success, on September 24, he will no doubt bring together rap's top names for a collection of all-star tracks, but lately Khaled is looking for another type of union.
On Thursday (July 25), the charismatic hitmaker proposed to his YMCMB labelmate Nicki Minaj in front of MTV News cameras. "Nicki Minaj, I'm at MTV, I'am going to be honest with you; I love you," Khaled said to camera, speaking directly to Pink Friday MC. "I like you, I want you, I want you to be mine."

"Nicki Minaj, I'm at MTV, I'am going to be honest with you; I love you," Khaled said to camera, speaking directly to Pink Friday MC. "I like you, I want you, I want you to be mine."
Khaled had a lot to get off of his chest, first telling Nicki how he feels about her, before he popped the big question: "Nicki Minaj, will you marry me?" The We the Best CEO was clear and direct with his message. In fact Khaled is so serious that he went to MTV studio with a 10 karat radiant cut diamond ring from Rafaello & Co. in Manhattan's famed diamond district. The ring is valued at about $500,000. "We got the same symptoms, we're both suffering from success," he said, noting Minaj's hectic schedule which includes live shows, recording sessions and filming "The Other Woman" alongside actress Cameron Diaz. "[If] you gotta take your time and think about it, I overstand, but I know I have to be here today to let you know how serious I am and how serious this is to me."
