350 org Global Warning Video Clip by DAM - Clima Day worldwide 350.org 24.10.2009
This is a TV spot made by DAM to promote the 350 movement. 350 is an international movement that lobby's to bring down the carbon emission to lower than 350ppm. If the concentration of carbon continues to increase life as we know would cease to exist and humanity will suffer. Currently the carbon concentration is about 387ppm.
On the international day of climate action, which is the 24th October people from all over the world are going to do things which promotes the number 350 and which grabs the attention of the world leaders and media.
Divers Association of Maldives is having 2 events. One is the underwater cabinet meeting which would be chaired by the President of Maldives happening on the 17th of October. The cabinet would meet underwater using scuba and pass a declaration from the people of Maldives to the world leaders meeting and Copenhagen on December 2009 for the COP15. The other even which takes place on the international day of climate action, October 24th is the 24 hour underwater rally. 350 divers will go underwater to rally against climate change and call out for reducing carbon emissions.

3sat-Nano: Störsender verhindern das Schließen von Autotüren. Der Fahrer sollte prüfen, ob sein Wagen verschlossen ist
Hintergrund:
„Ein 60-jähriger Berufsverbrecher soll per Funk versucht haben, Kö - Besucher in Düsseldorf daran zu hindern, ihre Limousinen abzuschließen. Polizisten erkannten den Mann: Er soll mit dieser Masche schon einmal im Jahr 2005 einen Schmuckhändler um Juwelen im Wert von einer Million Euro gebracht haben.“ (Zeitungsmeldungen)
Automatische Funkschließsysteme, wie zum Beispiel als Türöffnung im Auto verwendet, sind gegen Störungen deshalb anfällig, da sie sich in einem gleichberechtigten Frequenzband zum Beispiel 433 Mhz Bereich befinden. Auf dem Markt gibt es Handsprechfunkgeräte, die legal und gleichberechtigt in diesen Frequenzbereichen senden dürfen. Spezielle selbstgebaute Störsender können immer auf dementsprechenden Frequenzen stören.
Fernbedienungen von Autos können beeinflusst werden. Dafür ist es nicht erforderlich den Code der Fernbedienung zu knacken. Viel einfacher geht es mit einem Störsender. Der verhindert das Verschließen der Fahrzeuges, wenn der Fahrzeugbesitzer sein Fahrzeug mit seiner Fernbedienung schließen will, aber nicht darauf achtet, dass keine Rückmeldung, wie Blinken o. ähnliches erfolgt.

Space Shuttle STS-128 Launch
Discovery in Orbit, Chasing Space Station
Sat, 29 Aug 2009 06:18:13 AM GMT+0200
With seven astronauts and a host of experiments and equipment on board, space shuttle Discovery completed a flawless ascent into orbit Friday night to begin a two-day chase of the International Space Station. With Commander Rick "C.J. " Sturckow at the controls, the shuttle lifted off on-time at 11:59 p.m. EDT from NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The crew will rendezvous and dock with the station Sunday and the crew will begin transferring equipment to the outpost during the 13-day mission.
After flying up on Discovery, Nicole Stott will trade places with station resident Tim Kopra, who went into space last month aboard Endeavour. Equipment and science racks for the orbiting laboratory are riding inside the Leonardo cargo module, which is secured tightly inside Discovery's payload bay. The module will be lifted out of Discovery and locked onto the station so the crew can transfer the gear efficiently. The treadmill named for comedian Stephen Colbert also is aboard Discovery and destined for the station. by NASA NEWS

Ballonprojekt zum 40. Jahrestag der Mondlandung
Anlässlich des 40. Jahrestages der Mondlandung wird am Freitag, dem 17. Juli, auf dem Gelände der Sternwarte Bochum - Institut für Weltraumforschung, heute Institut für Umwelt- und Zukunftsforschung - ein Ballonexperiment gestartet (Bild; Quelle: Sternwarte Bochum). Die Nutzlast mit dem Namen Apollo 40 ist ein Mini-Satellit der noch einmal die Stimme von Neil Armstrong über Europa aussenden wird; die die Sternwarte Bochum als einzige Station außerhalb des NASA-Funknetzwerkes live vom Apolloraumschiff vom Mond im Jahre 1969 empfangen konnte.
Die der Apollo 11 nachempfundene Sonde wird an einem mit Helium gefüllten Wetterballon des Deutschen Wetterdienstes in den Bochumer Himmel steigen. Der FM-Sender auf 145,200 MHz ist in einem Styropor-Behältnis untergebracht. Die Aussendung umfasst neben der Stimme von Neil Armstrong auch das Rufzeichen in deutschem Klartext, unter dem Funkamateure Kontakt mit der Startbasis aufnehmen können. Der Start ist für 20 Uhr vorgesehen. "Wie lange Apollo 40 in der Luft sein wird, können wir nicht genau vorhersagen", betont Thilo Elsner, DJ5YM, Leiter der Sternwarte Bochum und Koordinator des Ballon-Experiments, "zwischen 100 Minuten und 24 Stunden ist alles drin." Interessenten treffen sich auf 7,1 MHz in der Zeit von 20 bis 0 Uhr, um Rückmeldungen auszutauschen. Empfangsberichte können zudem unter dem Betreff "Apollo 40" per E-Mail via info@iuz-bochum.de an das Institut gesendet werden. Aufgrund der zu erwartenden Flughöhe bis 35 km werden die Signale in weiten Teilen Europas zu empfangen sein.

"AUF DÜNNEM EIS" - vom Verschwinden des kanadischen Eishockeyspielers Duncan McPherson im Stubaier Gletscher im "DATUM" Magazin Juli/August 2009
Nachdem der kanadischen Eishockeyspielers Duncan McPherson 14 Jahre nach einem Snowboardausflug im österreichischen Stubaital vermisst wurde, gab ihm der Gletscher am 18.Juli 2003 wieder frei. Jahrelang hatten seine Eltern aus Kanada nach ihm geforscht. Waren sie doch immer wieder an den letzten Ort, dem Stubaital Gletscher zurückgekehrt, um einen Hinweis auf ihren vermissten Sohn zu finden. 23 Jahre war er, als er 1989 verschwand. Zum letzten Mal gesehen, auf dem Stubaier Gletscher, als er Unterricht im Snowboarding nahm. Das Verschwinden 1989 und das Auffinden nach 14 Jahren, wirft mehr Fragen als Antworten auf.
Die kanadische Fernsehsendung "The Fifth Estate", nahm sich unter dem Titel "The Iceman" dem Thema an, und stieß während ihrer Recherchen auf merkwürdigste Widersprüche, was das Verschwinden, die Untersuchungen und die Verhaltensweise der Ermittlungsbehörden anging.Das Feature über 60 Minuten ist auch im Internet zu sehen.
Die österreichische Presse stellte sich diese Fragen offenbar nicht.
Jetzt berichtete das österreichische Magazin "Datum" in seiner Juli/August Ausgabe 2009 mit acht Heftseiten über diese Geschichte. Florian Skrabal verfolgte die Spur des verschwundenen Kanadiers, und stieß wiederum auf merkwürdigste Widersprüche.
"Auf dünnem Eis" heißt seine Story, die versucht noch mehr Licht in das Dunkel des Verschwindens von Duncan McPherson zu bringen.
Anfrage an das Parlament der Republik Österreich
des Abgeordneten Pilz, Freundinnen und Freunde
an die Bundesministerin für Verkehr, Innovation und Technologie
betreffend Tod von Duncan MacPherson
Am 9. August 1989 bereiste der kanadische Staatsbürger Duncan MacPherson Tirol. An diesem Tag nahm er vormittags im Schigebiet Stubaier Gletscher Privatunterricht im Snowboarden, und mietete zu diesem Zweck ein Snowboard, Skikleidung und Schuhe. Er wurde um 14:30 das letzte Mal lebendig gesehen. more...

Source Iranfax: Eyewitnes account from Teheran 15.06.09
I left my home in Tajrish along with my family at 3 p.m. We went down Valiast Street which is the main northern-southern avenue in Tehran and entered the Evin Exp’way which leads to Enghelab Street. We knew that people are supposed to gather in Enghelab Sq. (Revolution Sq.) at 4 and march toward Azadi Sq. (Freedom Sq.). From Gisha Bridge onwards, we saw people walking down. Cars were blowing their horns and people were showing victory sign. We went to Navvab Street and parked our car at the end of the street. Then we took a taxi to bring us back to the Enghelab Street. On our way, near Jomhouri Sq. (Republic Sq.), I saw a group of about 20 militia with long beards and batons on motorbikes. My hand was out of the car window with a little green ribbon (the sign of reformists) around my finger. One of the militia told me to throw that ribbon away. I showed him a finger. All of a sudden, about 15 people attacked me inside the car. They beat me with their batons and wanted to pull me out. My wife and my daughter who were sitting in the back seat cried and hold me tight. I also hold myself tight on the chair. They wanted to shatter the car windows. The driver went out and explained that he is a taxi and we are his passengers and he has no fault. After about 5 minutes,they left. My elbow hurts severely. Then, a young man from their group came and kissed my elbow! I told him: You know, I don’t hate you. I am like you with the only difference that I know more and you are ignorant. He apologized and left. We joined the crowd in Enghelab Street.
Read carefully: What I saw today was the most elegant scene I had ever witnessed in my life. The huge number of people were marching hand in hand in full peace. Silence. Silence was everywhere. There was no slogan. No violence. Hands were up in victory sign with green ribbons. People carried placards which read: Silence. Old and young, man and woman of all social groups were marching cheerfully. This was a magnificent show of solidarity. Enghelab Street which is the widest avenue in Tehran was full of people. I was told that the march has begun in Ferdowsi Sq. and the end of the march was now in Imam Hossein Sq. to the further east of Tehran while on the other end people had already gathered in Azadi Sq. The length of this street is about 6 kilometers. The estimate is about 2 million people. On the way, we passed a police department and a militia (Baseej) base. In both places, the doors were closed and we could see fully-armed riot police and militia watching the people from behind the fences. Near Sharif University of Technology where the students had chased away Ahmadinejad a few days ago, Mirhossein Mousavi (the reformist elect president) and Karrubi (the other reformist candidate spoke to people for a few minutes which was received by cries of praise and applause. I felt proud to find myself among such a huge number of passionate people who were showing the most reasonable act of protest. Frankly, I didn’t expect such a political maturity from emotional Iranians who easily get excited. My family and I had put stickers on our mouths to represent the suppression. Placards that people carried were different; from poems by the national poet Ahmad Shamlu to light-hearted slogans against Ahmadinejad. Examples include: ” To slaughter us/ why did you need to invite us / to such an elegant party” (Poem by Shamlu). ” Hello! Hello! 999? / Our votes were stolen” or ” The Miracle of the Third Millenium: 2 x 2 = 24 millions” (alluding to the claim by Government that Ahmadinejad obtained 24 million votes) , “Where is my vote?” , ” Give me back my vote” and many other. We arrived in Azadi Square where the entire square was full of population. It is said that around 500,000 people can be accommodated in this huge square and it was full. Suddenly we saw smoke from Jenah Freeway and heard the gunshot. People were scared at first but then went forward. I just heard the gunshots but my sister who had been on the scene at that part told me later that she saw 4 militia came out from a house and shot a girl. Then they shot a young boy in his eye and the bullet came out of his ear. She said that 4 people were shot. At least one person dead has been confirmed. People arrested one of the Baseeji militia but the three others ran away when they ran out of bullet. At around 8 we went back on foot. On the way back people were still in the street and were chanting Allah Akbar (God is Great). I was coming home at around 2 a.m. In parkway, I saw about ten buses full of armed riot police parked on the side of the street. Then I saw scattered militia in civil clothes with clubs in hand patroling the empty streets. In Tajrish Square, I saw a very young boy (around 16) with a club who was looking at the cars to see if he can find something to attack. I don’t know how and under what teachings can young boys change into militia. I came home. Tomorrow, people will gather again in Valiasr Square for another peaceful march toward the IRIB building which controls all the media and which spreads filthy lies. The day before Yesterday, Ahmadinejad had hold his victory ceremony. Government buses had transported all his supporters from nearby cities. There was full coverage of that ceremony where fruit juice and cake was plenty. A maximum of 100,000 had gathered to hear his speech. These included all the militia and the soldiers and all supporters he could gather by the use of free TV publicity. Today, at least 2 million came only relying on word of mouth while reformists have no newspaper, no radio, no TV. All their internet sites are filtered as well as social networks such as facebook. Text messaging and mobile communication was also cut off during the demonstration. Since yesterday, the Iranian TV was announcing that there is no license for any gathering and riot police will severely punish anybody who may demonstrates. Ahmadinejad called the opposition as a bunch of insignificant dirt who try to make the taste of victory bitter to the nation. He also called the western leaders as a bunch of “filthy homosexuals”. All these disgusting remarks was today answered by that largest demonstration ever. Older people compared the demonstration of today with the Ashura Demonstration of 1979 which marks the downfall of the Shah regime and even said that it outnumbered that event. The militia burnt a house themselves to find the excuse to commit violence. People neutralized their tactic to a large degree by their solidarity, their wisdom and their denial to enage in any violent act. I feel sad for the loss of those young girls and boys. It is said that they also killed 3 students last night in their attack at Tehran University residence halls. I heard that a number of professors of Sharif University and AmirKabir University (Tehran Polytechnic) have resigned. Democracy is a long way ahead. I may not be alive to see that day. With eyes full of tear in these early hours of Tuesday 16th June 2009, I glorify the courage and bravery of those martyrs and I hope that their blood will make every one of us more committed to freedom, to democracy and to human rights. Viva Freedom, Viva Democracy, Viva Iran

Reports from Iran via tehranbureau.com
PLEASE SPREAD THE WORD
from Iran sent 10:15 AM sunday june 3 Tehran-time
I was just on the phone with my dad… he’s in the persian rug business in Tehran (Bazaar)… he said everything’s really come down there and on his way to Bazaar, but places like Khiyaban Vali Asr and Vanak are pretty chaotic…my cousin there was beaten pretty bad with a baton… seems like it’s getting very violent…
from Iran sent 9:23 AM sunday June 3 Tehran-time
The banks are all closed. most with windows smashed up. its morning now and it seems to be business as usual for people going to work, but everyone is very angry and bitter. its a very strange unsettling feeling. you can feel things are going to explode at some point.
saadat abad riots – the people have severely beaten the police forces. burned every single one of there motorbikes. following which the police retaliated by by smashing all the cars and home windows in the residence neighborhood of saadat abad.
Iranian TV has been showing movies all day! NOT ONE WORD OF THE UNREST.
Updates from Tehran, via friends source spoken to on Skype:
“I was at Vezarate Keshvar [Interior Ministry]… they never even opened the ballot box.
It took hours to get home today. I had to hide in people’s houses and in car parks and wherever I could find just to avoid getting beaten by the guys on motorbikes with batons. They were hitting everyone they passed. I saw them pulling women out of cars and beating them. Oddly places you thought would be busy are not. Tajrish is empty. Elsewhere people driving around honking horns and showing peace signs. All seems completely futile. And odd day at work, all very angry and upset and cynical, no one could actually do any work. Btu I was saddened by the fact everyone seemed resigned to it already.”
“Two of my friends are also missing, one I know was arrested but no news since. No idea about the other.”
from Iran sent 2:43 AM Tehran-time (6:13 EST)
[Translated] “Here the internet is horrible. After much trouble, I was able t log on through a proxy. I’ll try my best to get the news to you. I have news right now that in Shahrake Gharb [neighborhood in northeast Tehran] is absolute chaos. People are in the streets, they’re chanting. No sign of police. Their protest continues at this hour. I also hear that Niavaran [north Tehran] is a big chaotic too — at least until an hour ago. I’m sorry my information is fragmented. I’m afraid I’ll get disconnected. In Niavaran people are shouting from their homes. That way when police comes they quickly retreat; so they haven’t been able to arrest anyone. I’ve also heard that people captured a few of the Basij guys and gave him a beating. It feels like Martial Law here. Cell phones are down, internet lines are horrible, Facebook is filtered, and … I also have news from Ahvaz. They have also announced there that if someone comes out of their house they will be arrested. So keep your fingers crossed and pray for us. Tomorrow is a great day. I gave you the news. Please try to publish it. Thx.”

“I was at Vezarate Keshvar [Interior Ministry]… they never even opened the ballot box.
It took hours to get home today. I had to hide in people’s houses and in car parks and wherever I could find just to avoid getting beaten by the guys on motorbikes with batons. They were hitting everyone they passed. I saw them pulling women out of cars and beating them. Oddly places you thought would be busy are not. Tajrish is empty. Elsewhere people driving around honking horns and showing peace signs. All seems completely futile. And odd day at work, all very angry and upset and cynical, no one could actually do any work. Btu I was saddened by the fact everyone seemed resigned to it already.”
“Two of my friends are also missing, one I know was arrested but no news since. No idea about the other.”
from Iran sent 2:43 AM Tehran-time (6:13 EST)
[Translated] “Here the internet is horrible. After much trouble, I was able t log on through a proxy. I’ll try my best to get the news to you. I have news right now that in Shahrake Gharb [neighborhood in northeast Tehran] is absolute chaos. People are in the streets, they’re chanting. No sign of police. Their protest continues at this hour. I also hear that Niavaran [north Tehran] is a big chaotic too — at least until an hour ago. I’m sorry my information is fragmented. I’m afraid I’ll get disconnected. In Niavaran people are shouting from their homes. That way when police comes they quickly retreat; so they haven’t been able to arrest anyone. I’ve also heard that people captured a few of the Basij guys and gave him a beating. It feels like Martial Law here. Cell phones are down, internet lines are horrible, Facebook is filtered, and … I also have news from Ahvaz. They have also announced there that if someone comes out of their house they will be arrested. So keep your fingers crossed and pray for us. Tomorrow is a great day. I gave you the news. Please try to publish it. Thx.”
