TELIA - LÄGG AV!
Telia m fl teleoperatörer försöker hitta teknik för att stoppa SKYPE, VIBER och deras gratistelefoni!
Hur mossiga får man vara? Skype som gjort det möjligt att ha kontakt var man än befinner sig på vårt runda klot.
Det här ska bli kul att se. Ännu roligare när Telia i konsekvesens namn ger sig på MSN, Yahoo, AIM, Google och alla andra som kombinerar chat med röst och bild.
Kort sagt, att man bara gitter. Men så har man ju också det gamla monopolet kvar i ryggmärgen.
Om någon skulle känna sig orolig, så kan det vara lugnande att veta att EU-kommissionen redan jobbar med att förhindra monopolsugna telebolag som vill begränsa möjligheten att ringa gratis. (läste jag på dansk text-tv)
Nej tacka vet jag 3 som redan gjort mobiltelefoner för användning av Skype. Tur att det finns några i branchen som är med sin tid!
Telia har lyckats med en sak: Det är redan känt långt utanför Sveriges gränser att Telia vill stoppa Skype. Nyheter sprids snabbt nu för tiden - utan ett enda telefonsamtal!

PRESS RELEASE, the 7th of March, 2012
MRS. BAHAREH HEDAYAT IS THE LAUREATE OF THE FIRST EDELSTAM PRIZE 2012
The Harald Edelstam Foundation today presents the name of the Laureate of the first Edelstam Prize, Mrs. Bahareh Hedayat. She has dared to play a leading role in the student’s movement as in the women’s rights movement in Iran, and has been an active critic of Iran’s regime and President Ahmadinejad. The Laureate has faced severe police brutality and has been arrested repeatedly for her courageous actions, and is today a political prisoner in the feared Evin Prison in Tehran.
"Bahareh has shown a great amount of civic courage. It is tragic that she will not be able to come and receive the prize in Stockholm on the 16
th of April, due to the regime’s punishment for her convictions. It is a great tragedy that a young, vital and freedom-loving woman shall pay such a high price for her courageous actions and in defending others and the civil rights. Battery, torture and prostration is part of her everyday-life in the Evin Prison, says Ms. Caroline Edelstam, Chair of the international Edelstam Prize Jury and Vice President of the Harald Edelstam Foundation.
The Edelstam Prize is an international prestigious prize, awarded for outstanding contributions and exceptional courage in standing up for one’s beliefs in the Defence of Human Rights. The Prize will be awarded during a ceremony in the House of Nobility in Stockholm on the 16th of April. The Edelstam Prize is named after, and awarded in the memory of, the Swedish diplomat and Ambassador, Harald Edelstam, also called the "Black Pimpernel," who distinguished himself as diplomat by his professional competence, his bravery and his civic courage in the fight for Human Rights.
The Edelstam Prize Jury’s motivation to give Mrs. Bahareh Hedayat the Edelstam Prize is: "Mrs. Bahareh Hedayat has through her outstanding courage and commitment to justice actively worked against the violation of the Human Rights in Iran. Despite of serious warnings and threats from the regime’s security and intelligence forces, she has repeatedly risked her own life and freedom when defending the Human Rights. She has been arrested upon several occasions, and is imprisoned right now for these reasons. The Harald Edelstam Foundation considers her a prisoner of conscience, and in consequence respectfully asks the authorities of the Republic of Iran to set her free."
"Bahare has acted in my grandfather’s spirit and shown a great amount of civic courage, which we hope can inspire others. It is impressive that so many brave persons, aware of the risks they take, still stubbornly are willing to act in order to defend people who are victims of the violations of Human Rights. It gives us hope for a better world where we all can enjoy equal and human rights," says Caroline Edelstam, granddaughter to Ambassador Harald Edelstam and Co-Founder and Vice President of the Harald Edelstam Foundation.
Mrs. Bahareh Hedayat was born in Iran in 1981.As the secretary of Women’s Commission of the Student Union, she issued a call and participated in a peaceful protest against the discriminatory laws against women. As a result she was arrested for the first time. Mrs. Bahareh Hedayat continuously reported cases of abuse of Human Rights in the universities in Iran to different human rights organizations. These reports among other things involved cases of rape of female university students. She was actively involved in the investigation of the legal situation of students who were arrested or expelled from universities and denied the right to continue their education only because of their civil rights and students’ rights activism. Despite of warnings and threats from the security and intelligence forces and even actual detention, she continued her activism and organized several meetings and seminars on various subjects on human rights, took part in a sit-in in front of the Amir Kabir University to protest the unwarranted detention and torture of students and also participated in a peaceful assembly of the family of the political prisoners in front of the Evin prison.
"However, I would like to stress that Bahareh has been under extreme pressure from the security forces as well as the judiciary to petition for forgiveness and amnesty by expressing regret about her past activities and positions. She has bravely refused to accept this precondition for her release. However, she has from the beginning requested the case to be considered by an unbiased court," says Caroline Edelstam.
In 2009, Bahareh was sentenced to nine and half years punitive imprisonment. She was charged with propaganda against the regime for her interviews with the foreign press, insulting the Leader (Vali Faqih), insulting the President, acting against national security by participating in social and public gathering, and helping organize group protest. For extended periods of time during this period, she has been deprived of all her basic rights such as the right to have a lawyer, telephone conversations with her family, or meeting with visitors. Bahareh has suffered from gallstone while in prison, and now the doctors have confirmed she has kidney stone, however, she has not been given permission to be treated.

Mötesplats Maggan - Där får du hjälp att förverkliga dina idéer!
 |
| Lägg till bildtmext |
1ste mars var det invigning av Mötesplats Maggan på Magistratsvägen i Lund.
Mötesplats Maggan är en social inkubator och drivs som ett samverkansprojekt mellan många inblandade, ideella organisationer som Tamam, kommunala organisationer samt Arbetsförmedlingen. EU bidrar med en rejäl summa på 1,7 miljoner! Det här är något för alla andra kommuner att titta närmre på!Men framför allt drivs Mötesplatsen av personer som tänker nytt, har visioner om ungt etreprenörskap och som inte bara talar utan gör saker!

| Andreas Ragnarsson, en av dem du träffar på Mötesplats Maggan |
Social inkubator - vad är det? Ordet inkubator är hämtat från laboratorievärlden. Det är ett värmeskåp som man sätter provrör med bakterier eller celler i för att de ska växa optimalt. I det här sammanhanget betyder det att din egen idé får växa till i "ett laboratorium" med kunniga människor som tittar på din idé och hjälper dig på alla sätt. Den sociala inkubatorn blir en språngbräda där du får all hjälp med att börja ett nytt projekt, för att det ska bli hållbart och bli precis som du tänkt dig och kanske leda till något du kan försörja dig på.
Det blev en succé direkt. Många kom, tittade, pratade, lyssnade till musik och var mycket intresserade! Men så hade också "maggangänget" gått runt i kringliggande bosstadsområden och knackat dörr. Politiker och tjänstemän från kommunen och olika organisationer var också inbjudna, och många kom och tog del av informationen.
Med det stora intresse som fanns från alla håll kan det bara bli ett bra resultat när projektet ska redovisas om 3 år.
Här är en kort film från invigningen. Först ser du Philip Sandberg, grundaren av Tamam och en drivande person bakom Mötesplats Maggan.
(ja, jag vet - jag är amatörmoblilfilmare...)
