2016 Brekaing News: New Zealand passport among the world's most powerful!

A New Zealand passport will get you places - and it's been named the seventh most powerful passport in the world.

A recent study by Henley & Partners, a London-based consulting firm that specialises in citizenship services, rates world passport's based on how much visa-free travel they entitle their owner to.

While Germany was ranked at the top of the list with visa-free access to 177 countries out of 218, New Zealand tied for seventh place with Greece.

Both countries are able to visit 171 countries, visa free.

After three consecutive years at number one, the United Kingdom dropped to third place, with Sweden coming in second.

And when it came to the least powerful passports, Afghanistan was at the bottom of the table with visa-free access to just 25 countries.

The world's most scary terrifying cable car ride! (Auckland, New Zealand, David Lim)

Mt. Hood "SkiWay" (Oregon, US)

The Ski-Lift Bus, a bus turned into a gondola, was used on Mt. Hood, Oregon between Government Camp and Timberline Lodge. It was built in 1956 and, at the time, it was the world's longest tram. It was constructed from old city buses and used a cable system that was developed by timber loggers. The Tram opened on February 3rd, 1956 but only lasted a few seasons before it turned into a financial disaster. In 1961 the cable system and tramway was permanently removed from the slopes of Mount Hood.

Mount Hua's Cable Car (China)

Mount Hua is a sacred Taoist mountain located in Shaanxi Province, China. It is one of the Five Great Mountains. The 1,997-meter-tall mountain, true to its reputation as the "most precipitous mountain under heaven," is a cluster of five peaks with breathtaking cliff faces presenting a tough challenge to mountaineers.

For many years most people have taken a traditional but efficient walking ascent and cable car descent to climb this mountain. By taking this route, visitors can experience not only its danger but also the meaningful scenic locations.

Skyway (Disneyland, US)

Most visitors to Disneyland before the mid-nineties will remember this attraction, even if they never rode it. After all, an aerial gondola ride that went through the Matterhorn was something that was pretty easy to remember. The ride was built in 1956, and while plenty of similar rides exist in parks around the country these days, at the time it was the first aerial ropeway in the U.S. In fact, the Skyway was actually built before the Matterhorn, which had to be built around the pre-existing gondola ride.

While the ride was very popular for allowing guests to view the entire park from above, it was closed in 1994 because the Matterhorn battery supports started to show stress cracks.

The Cabrio (Switzerland)

The thought of riding in a cable car which soars 1,900 meters up into the Swiss Alps will strike fear into the hearts of those who are afraid of heights. But at least being encased in glass can usually offer some kind of comfort to terrified passengers and a semblance of safety. However, for those riding the world's first convertible cable car, even that small crumb of security won't be available.

Opened in Switzerland, The Cabrio rises to a height of 1.2 miles above sea level as it climbs the Stanserhorn mountain near the city of Lucerne. Carrying up to 60 passengers at any one time, the innovative cable car has room for half of them to brave the bracing mountain air and stand on the top deck. Even those riders who dislike heights might not find the inside much of a refuge, since the lower floor is made entirely of glass.

Starting at Kalti, which is 711 meters above sea level, the Cabrio transports passengers to the summit station 1,850 meters up.

Kharkiv Lift (Ukraine)

The Kharkiv lift was put into operation in 1971. It runs from the Central Park of Culture and Rest.Bitter (or Lesopark) to Paul's district field. Immediately after its opening, the road was used not only as a stroller, but also as a transportation system. According to the stories, students were especially keen to use the Kharkov cable car. They traveled from dormitories to Pauline Field to institutions located in the heart of the city. Such a route to the center was not only unusual and fascinating, but also cheap.

The length of the route between the two landing stations of "Gorpark" and "Paul's Field" is 1,385 m. Rising to a height of 26 meters (this is the highest point), the Kharkov cable car offers wonderful views. It is supported by 18 towers of varying heights, going up and down from 8 to 26 meters, and it has 124 double passenger cabins.

Emirates Air Line (London, England)

It was certainly one way to beat the predicted chaos of the capital's public transportation during the Summer Games. If you get stuck, at least there are the dramatic views of London's skyline, not to mention a glimpse of the Olympic stadium, to enjoy.

The cable car across the River Thames was officially launched by Boris Johnson in June 2012, just a month prior to the 2012 London Olympics. The London Mayor was the first passenger on the £44 million Emirates Air Line, which offers 360-degree views of the city. The system is sponsored by Dubai-based airline Emirates, which has contributed £36 million to the project in a 10 year deal.

Merida, World's Highest Cable Car (Venezuela)

The highest and longest teleférico in the world takes an hour to ascend from a plateau in the Andes located at 10,250 feet (3,125 meters) to the top of Pico Espejo. Stop off at four stations on the way if you wish, and at the top admire Pico Bolívar.

Bondinho (Rio de Janeiro, Brazil)

Sugarloaf Mountain (in Portuguese, Pão de Açúcar), is a peak situated in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil at the mouth of Guanabara Bay on a peninsula that sticks out into the Atlantic Ocean. Rising 396 meters (1,299 ft.) above the harbor, its name is said to refer to its resemblance to the traditional shape of concentrated refined loaf sugar.

A glass-walled cable car, capable of holding 65 passengers, runs along a 1,400 meter route between the peaks of Pão de Açúcar and Morro da Urca every 20 minutes. The original cable car line was built in 1912 and rebuilt around 1972/1973 and in 2008. The cable car leaves a ground station located at the base of the Babilônia hill, travelling to the Urca hill and then to the Pão de Açúcar.

In the 1979 James Bond film Moonraker, the villainous henchman Jaws (played by Richard Kiel) attempts to kill 007 (Roger Moore) and the agent's ally, Dr. Holly Goodhead (Lois Chiles), on one of its cable cars. However, Bond and Goodhead escape and Jaws collides with the building at the bottom of the cable car route, demolishing the building but escaping unscathed.

SkyView (Stockholm, Sweden)

SkyView is the new world-class attraction that takes you to the top of the world's largest spherical building, the Ericsson Globe, a Stockholm landmark.

From the apex 130 meters (425 feet) above sea level, you get a fantastic view encompassing all of Stockholm. The two SkyView gondolas depart every 10 minutes, and the entire visit takes about 30 minutes. A restaurant, café and souvenir shop are adjacent to SkyView.

Hotel Mudeung Park Lift (South Korea)

This is Gwangju's Hotel Mudeung Park Lift in 1984. That's what I call an extreme cable chair ride.

World Class Hackers who got caught! (people, cyber, world, crime, www, net, web, crooks)

In the list of today we have very special personalities they were not heroes or champions but they are famous enough for their works such that the whole world wants to know about. They did the most offensive crimes the coolest way just by sitting in front of their Personal Computer. They were the hackers of all time who had the capability to stroll in the United States safest servers and retrieve as much information as they require. The list of top ten starts here;

10. John T. Draper

John T. Draper a United States Air Force trained personnel born in the year 1944, Draper due to his professional abilities and techniques learned became a renowned phone phreak and an iconic body in the world of computer programming, the skill was obtained while working as an engineer for National Semiconductor when he witnessed two blind kids using a modified toy shriek from a cereal box to make free phone calls through the payphone system. Using the mantle Captain Crunch, Draper popularized the use of the shriek and a host of other phreaking methods. Although his crimes are not extravagant, his lasting effect on the computing world is.

9. Kevin Mitnick

Kecin Mitnick is the greatest hacker of all time due to his brilliance and luminosity his crimes never popped up in front of Police and FBI, he suffered very less imprisonment not more than six years. He was the only one the FBI even labeled him “the most wanted computer criminal in United States history.”

8. Adrian Lamo

Adrian Lamo also known as “homeless hacker”, because of the fact he used Internet cafes, libraries, and Kinko’s, to hack during the day, and squatted in deserted buildings at night. It is only his immeasurable skills and achievements who brought him to this fame and respect although at a later stage. Adrian Lamo is now a day’s high-profile public speaker and an award-winning journalist. He used his hacking techniques and expertise to exploit different major companies like Microsoft and The New York Times.

7. Sven Jaschan

Seventeen years old German Jaschan built two viruses Sasser and Netsky and unleashed them on the Internet. Those two viruses posed heavy damage to Windows exposing the defects and related issues with the best selling operating system. Not only the Microsoft observed heavy and colossal loss but the effect of these was much more dramatic than we could think. It disabled the networks of businesses throughout the world, which even included shutting down airlines and entire satellite systems. Well these related issues have posed a challenge to search for better windows security systems and etc.

6. Dmitri Galushkevich

In the year 2007, Estonia and Russia sheltered up in a clash over the removal of Soviet era statues. Therefore, when Estonia suffered the worst hacker attack in their history at that same time, it was easy to blame the Russians. The attack overloaded servers throughout the country shutting down all forms of commerce. In the end, the culprit was Galushkevich, a 20-year old ethnic Russian living in Estonia. Some still suggest that Galushkevich was a Russian pawn, but there was never any evidence to support that claim.

5. Robert Tappan Morris

Robert Morris was the son of previous NSA scientist also famous for the name of Black Hat hacker when he unleashed the first computer worm on the Internet, a well known professor at MIT, United States of America.  To this day, Morris asserts that he built the Morris worm simply to evaluate the size of the Internet. However, it was clear that he had other plans for this excessively replicating worm that brought the Internet to its knees. Damage estimates from the worm’s crash differ greatly, as do the real number of systems and individual computers that were affected. But the numbers applied to Morris are concrete: After some plea bargaining, he was sentenced in December 1990 to three years’ probation and fined $10,000 (about $17,000 in today’s money).

4. Kevin Poulsen

Kevin Poulsen also Known as Dark Dante and tagged as the “the Hannibal Lector of computer crime” by law enforcement. Kevin Poulsen made some of the most noticeable hacks in history. The most famous one included winning a Porsche from KIIS-FM radio station by taking over their phone lines, and even shutting down the phone lines of the America’s Most Wanted television program when he was the feature. Among other things, Poulsen reactivated old Yellow Page accompany telephone numbers for an acquaintance that then ran a virtual agency. When the FBI started chasing Poulsen, he went underground as a renegade. When he was featured on NBC’s unanswered Mysteries, the show’s 1-800 telephone lines mysteriously crashed. He was finally arrested in February, 1995.

3. Raphael Gray

Raphael was arrested by the FBI at his home on the 23 March 2000. Police and FBI agents arrived in the morning. It was supposed that he had intruded into nine e-commerce websites in Britain, America, Canada, Thailand and Japan and taken details of some 26,000 credit card numbers and disclosed some of the credit card information on the Internet. Raphael, who was only 18 at the time give details to the police and FBI when he was dialogued that he had been worried for sometime at the intrinsic security weakness in one exacting create of software called “Microsoft Internet Information Server”. This intrinsic flaw enabled distant users to entrée information stored on computers using this software. Raphael explained he had contacted a number of e-commerce sites using this software and pointed out the security weakness but they had ignored him, and he had also contacted Bill Gates, the Microsoft Chief who again ignored him.

2. Jonathan James

Perhaps James’/c0mrade’s greatest claim to fame is that at 16, he became the first juvenile hacker sent to prison. However, his offenses were legitimate and serious. His highest-profile crime occurred when he compromised NASA computers and stole software worth $1.7 million. Another major offense came when he installed backdoor access into the servers of the Defense Threat Reduction Agency, which is responsible for monitoring biological, chemical, conventional, nuclear, and special weapon threats to the U.S.

1. Gary McKinnon

Gary McKinnon, the Britain blamed of hacking Pentagon and NASA computer networks, faces an increasingly antagonistic weather on cyber security in the US if his exile is approved this week. He trespassed the networks of the U.S. Army, Air Force, Department of Defense, NASA, and Navy. The thing he required was the evidences of aliens and their space shuttle or spacecraft, which he could use to resolve the global energy disaster. McKinnon’s case is still continuing and his lawyers assert that he is worthy of special deliberation because he is bothered with Asperger’s Syndrome.

The Worlds most expensive Car Maybach Exelero

The Maybach Exelero was first introduced by German car manufacturer Maybach in 2005. This two-seater vehicle is said to be the fastest car in the world with a top speed of 351 km/hr. This luxury car is priced at a whopping $8,000,000 USD. At that price it can be safely assumed that you have to be unbelievably wealthy to even fathom buying this baby. If you just happen to win the lottery over and over and think that you can finally lay your hands on a Maybach, I’d suggest you spend that money in acquiring a vacation home in at least three continents along with a Mercedes S-class sedan to accessorize each home. But, if you happen to be P. Diddy, then nothing should stop you from buying this insanely expensive beauty for your 16 year old son’s birthday! However, you do not need to have any money to enjoy these beautiful photos of the Maybach Exelero and I’d suggest a good nap after to drive this dream car.
