Spacecraft record close to Jupiter – “can provide new perspectives” – Aftonbladet

Never before have we been so close to the planet Jupiter that now.

In the night beat Nasa record of 1975 – the spacecraft Juno is just 4200 kilometers from the gasjättens surface.

– this can give us a whole new perspective, says investigator Scott Bolton.

“Everything has worked as it should,” NASA writes in a message.

Five years after leaving earth, the space probe Juno records come close to Mars – just 4200 kilometers above the planet’s swirling clouds. Now hope NASA for answers about the solar system.

– This is our first chance to really get a close look at the king of our solar system and begin to find out how it works, said Scott Bolton, head of Juno project and researcher at the Southwest Research Instiute of San Antonio, in a press release from NASA.

Unique images of the gas giant

This is the first of 37 laps around the planet as the spacecraft will do to its mission will end in February 2018. the goal is to investigate whether there is a solid core of gasjättens center and the space probe will also measure the amount of water and ammonia in the atmosphere. NASA also plans to map the planet’s violent winds and magnetic fields.

In addition, the spacecraft delivered unique image, the highest resolution images ever on Jupiter, and tons of other data has been collected – now the material should only be downloaded to us on earth.

– It will take days to gather all the material and even longer to understand what Juno and Jupiter is trying to tell us, he says. READ ALSO Juno: “Ready to reveal all the secrets …”

Brought ten times closer

The record for how close you were previously Jupiter taken by NASA’s Pioneer 11 spacecraft, which in 1974 passed about 43,000 kilometers of gas giant.

This means that today we have come full ten times – or nearly four globe – closer.

– we have come much closer, but the planet’s huge so when the pictures released, we see very detailed images of small areas on the planet, says space expert Sven Grahn told Aftonbladet.

– Jupiter is a cool plane and now we will suddenly get ten times better visual acuity, he said.

the spacecraft also has three, something unexpected, passengers, three custom-made mercenary men in aluminum. The reason they are not made of plastic is for them to cope with the harsh space weather. The toys represent the Italian astronomer Galileo Galilei, the Roman god Jupiter and divinity wife Juno. READ ALSO Hear the mysterious sounds from Jupiter

Britney can not decide – Sveriges Radio

How does Britney Spears today?

– To me it sounds like she had a little difficult to decide. “Glory” is a mixture of both the music that made her so great around the turn of the millennium – happy mainstreampop with bulldozerrefränger- and partly a desire to innovate and do something more adult and more modern.

– The modern part the album is more reclined with low-key drumming, R & B influences, more soaring choruses and echo effects. Above all, she sings in a completely different way.

How does the song Britney’s voice is different, do you think?

– Britney is not exactly a best voice, but she has a voice that almost everyone recognizes. A little nasal, robot-like and under a thick layer of autotune. But in several of the songs on “Glory”, she sings actually in a completely new way, with personality and feel.

What is the songs on “Glory” about?

– all with a few exceptions, is about sex. Sometimes, as in the song “Make Me”, it works really well. It feels as if she might be inspired by Beyoncé’s self-titled album from 2014 was all about to be allowed to be sexy, strong, smart and adult. But suddenly she turns on the course, and so she’s back in that childish and a little revue sexy role that is difficult to understand when it comes from a 35 year old. The single “Clumsy” about being clumsy in bed is omöljlig to listen to without strong shame rinses.

What is the real Britney do you think, the former millennieprinsessan or she is behind the album’s more innovative parts ?

– It sounds as if Britney had fun when she experimented, but I have a feeling that she thrives at its best when she gets to go into the role of the artist with a big, empty smile that just will entertain the audience. Although many try to shape the Britney Spears to a symbol of the one or the other so is Britney herself a totally apolitical artist, which is almost difficult to deal with in 2016. Taylor Swift, Zara Larsson, Beyonce – all the great artists of today have a political message. But Britney is still much of a mystery.

– In one of the songs she sings “If I’m dancing in the know the music is good.” So as long as I dance, I think the music is good. And perhaps it is her message, that it should be allowed to be as it was before, that pop should be allowed to just be fun. I think Britney’s fans will love Glory, but I do not think it will win over some new ones.

Get Swedish ekoäpplen in stores – Göteborgs-Posten



For the äppelsugne with environmental thinking, the choice is often between a conventionally grown Swedish apple and organically grown fruit imports. Stock Photography. Photo: DRAGO Prvulovic, TT

Sweden Fancy a ekoäpple? Then you usually have to make do with the import of fruit. Around 98 percent of ekoäpplena of some of the largest supermarket chains are imported.

What speaks for the Swedish ekoäpplet is the great demand, but so far the market share is minimal. At ICA, Coop and Axfood is only between nine and 14 percent of all sold apples organically grown and about 98 percent of ekoäpplena is imported.

But the number of Swedish organic apple growers grow.

I think it’s really exciting, it’s a super challenge. You have to be one step ahead all the time, says Martha Johansson, who along with her husband Donald grow organically in Ramdala in eastern Blekinge.



Long takeoff

The delivery time for new tree seedlings two years and then it will take another five years before the trees gives full harvest. The long-off distance can be one of the reasons that so far there are so few organic apple growers in Sweden.

Joacim Holgersson, who grow ekoäpplen outside Lidköping, points to more reasons: It is more expensive to hire in Sweden than in competitor countries, and in ekoodlingen is the hands of a man who shall instead of spraying.

soap and baking soda

the permitting process for the innocuous preparations ekoodlarna use is another area where Swedish growers work uphill battle. Although it is about, for example, detergents, organic canola oil and baking soda requires the same procedure as for conventional growers. It is expensive and takes time.

Here are disadvantaged Swedish growers of the EU’s zoning – organic preparations are approved in other parts of Europe, where the large ekokonkurrenterna available, require separate approval in the northern zone, where Sweden is included.

politicians must help ekoodlarna, so that we can compete with our foreign competitors on equal terms, says Joacim Holgersson.



“Important to echo”

But what is the best for the environment, a conventionally grown apple from Sweden or ekoäpple from Italy or Chile?

Organic is best, regardless of origin, believes Emelie Hansson, expert of Nature Conservation. The transport distance is not decisive for the food’s climate impact. And it is an important signal to the Swedish growers of customers prioritize ecologically, she reasons.

But right now, in the autumn, we must take care of the apples in Swedish trägårdar, which unfortunately often rot away.

The Facts: Swedish Ekofrukt on the rise

Organic orchard is on the march in Sweden. The cultivated area has increased from 115 hectares 2009-185 hectares, 2015.

The most widely grown apple, but even small amounts of organic pears, plums and cherries.

Most organic orchards are small and sell primarily for the local market.

According to the Agriculture Department is a large demand for Swedish organic fruit, but there are several problems that must be solved to prepare the ground for ekoodlare. We need better methods to manage weeds and pests and to get higher and more consistent yield and quality.

Source: Agriculture

Background: High price and difficult handling

High price and difficult handling are some of the problems for the Swedish ekoäpplen, according to supermarket chains.

Coop believes demand for Swedish ekoäpplen which clearly exceeds the supply. Coop responds ekoäpplen for nine percent of total apple sales, of which two percent is from Sweden. Coop believes that the management of the Swedish range is difficult: “The availability varies greatly from week to week and from variety to variety. There are also requirements for the labeling of ekoäpplen, which can be a challenge for small producers to manage,” writes Coop in a responses to TT.

Ica, however, considers that there is no shortage: “the volume of Swedish ekoäpplen we get is spent. in the current situation corresponds to the supply to the demand, so there is no shortage.” In Ica was 14 percent of the apple sales last year, ecological and just 1.5 percent of the sold ekoäpplena was Swedish cultivated.

Axfood believes that the high price of Swedish ekoäpplen holding back sales. In addition, customers have a good eye for conventionally grown apples Swedish, points Axfood. At Axfood was ten percent of the apple organic sales last year and two percent of ekoäpplena was Swedish.

Estonia has run about Sweden in digitization – New Technology

While Sweden is losing momentum is accelerating at a short distance from us. Our neighboring country has in recent years become world famous for its advances in the digitization of government services.

Before the summer told Digital Technology to Sweden drops rapidly digitizing according to a number of international surveys. Many Swedish experts now point to Estonia as a model. New Technology took them at their word and took the hour-long flight from Stockholm to Tallinn.

– Various studies ranks slightly different. But if you look at the use cases when it comes to digital signatures, we are clearly in top says Taavi Kotka, Estonia CIO official at the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Communications.

The land belongs to those in Europe who are most digitized and while growing fastest, such as under the EU Desi index of digitization, from last spring. Estonia leads here on government services for citizens.

According to some surveys, the country’s top five in the world and Estonia are included along with Great Britain, Israel, South Korea and New Zealand in the so-called D5 Group, a network of digitally most advanced governments in the world, where 99 percent of government services available online.

Read more So I became virtual Estonians

a great deal has happened since shaky early days as an independent state in the 1990s. Many tell me about how easy it is to digitally tax declaration, start a business or to renew the license.

– A friend of mine got an email when she was at Heathrow Airport in London – her driver’s license was to go out. She just came, chose a picture and renewed license, says Indrek Õnnik, project manager at E-Estonia Showroom, which showcases the digital Estonia for foreign visitors. There were 10 000 from all over the world last year, an average of two missions per day.

The tourists crowded in the very picturesque and lovingly restored old town. A small piece next door have Margus Uudam his office. He is Estonia’s most powerful venture capitalist. Some say he’s the only one. Obviously he is close friends with Taavi Kotka.

– Tallinn is a small city. Everyone knows everyone here. And the community of startup businesses are they really helpful to each other.

Estonia has more startups per capita than any other country (in close competition with Israel). Then it is true that Estonia a very small country with only 1.3 million inhabitants. Yet. All explains it by the Estonian success story of Skype. Estonian? That’s a Swedish creation, Niklas Zennstrom behind?

The fact is that you ask a Dane is the Skype Danish (due Janus Friis). It might as well go to argue that it is a Luxembourg company because Skype is registered in Luxembourg and has its headquarters there. But the head of three developers were Estonian. The main developments took place in Tallinn and still do.

The importance can not be overstated. As the first Estonian unicorn, companies valued at least a billion dollars, it has inspired a generation of Estonian engineers and contractors.

– A variety defectors have in turn started their own businesses, says Margus Uudam.

the same goes for Estonia’s second unicorn – Transfer Wise. It is also possible to discuss the nationality as the company has its headquarters in London, while development takes place in Tallinn. The two founders are anyway tests. One of them, Taavet Hinrikus, are in fact Skype’s first employee. The company provides a low-cost global money transfer service. After the latest round of funding in May estimated TechCrunch value of the company, founded in 2010, to $ 1.1 billion.

The three chief developers of Skype – legends in their country – are jointly involved in the venture capital company Ambient Sound Investments, Estonia first. Margus Uudam was the expert who helped them with the investment, but the old Skype developers have subsequently become more involved in their own respective projects and Margus Uudams private equity company Karma VC has increasingly taken over.

Right now Karma on gathering together a new investment fund, the target is 60 million to the year-end. Karma thinking of investing in 3-4 startups anywhere in Europe. The focus is particularly northern Europe.

– We recently visited Malmö and Lund. It is indeed sad when companies like Ericsson and Sony Ericsson gets rid of a lot of people, but at the same time it gives rise to many new businesses, says Margus Uudam.

Further explanations to the digital Estonian miracle is that Estonia lacks a legacy of the old system. The country has even introduced a law which says that the central government system can not be older than 30 years. Crossed the border must be rewritten from scratch.

– A great Swedish innovation that we have truly benefited from taking for a unique digital identity, your social security number, which you introduced in 1947. It is a linchpin of all data exchange, says Taavi Kotki.

Other advantages are a small country with a young, progressive government, where even the prime minister and the president actively pushing for digitization. The country is also rapidly changing laws and adapt the regulatory framework and processes so that they can adapt to digital changes.

– But I must say that Denmark is ahead, at least with regard to the mandatory use of e- bills. I want that we also face says Taavi Kotki.

It will become a reality next year.

All tests I meet has an international focus, not least in neighboring countries in Northern Europe. But the big powerful neighbor in the East, no one even mentions. Taavi Kotki describes it as the country was at a standstill during the 50 years under Soviet rule. And Russia’s invasion of Ukraine frighten him.

– Russia is like the bully in school. We want to have zero tolerance for such things. There is nothing we have to learn from them.

Nothing?

– They are very far ahead of cyber warfare. If I would like to access another country’s sources of information, it would be something, but I’m not interested, says Taavi Kotki.

Estonia today has 12,000 digital e-citizens around the world

Estonia is one of the world’s most advanced countries in terms of digital government services. The country has some 12 000 e-citizens. That means you can start an Estonian registered company from anywhere in the world and it can be done with a few clicks. The tax you pay in your own country, but you are utilizing various online assistance from the Estonian authorities and such audit firms.

Every citizen has its own portal where all information about you, such as marital status, tax data and license data are collected. All access to your data is logged so that you can accurately see who took some of your information, and when.

E-services are not directly linked, for safety reasons, no exchange occurs in a peer-to- peer network with specific APIs.

the country is investing heavily in cyber security and services are monitored around the clock all year round. Technically uses technology KSI, Keyless Signature Infrastructure, which uses cryptography hash functions in block chains in bitcoin.

Virtually the only thing you can not do online is to marry, divorce, or to sell house. It is for safety reasons, so as to ensure that no one has forced you. However, Estonia has since 2005 had e-voting in general elections. In parliamentary elections in 2015 voted 30.5 per cent of the population over the internet.

To use e-services must Esten have a digital ID cards. There is a physical and a mobile variant, where the latter requires a special SIM card. 94 percent of Estonians have today such identity cards.

the latest survey shows how it went second quarter and how expectations appear for the third quarter.

“the industry goes for full, but the question is whether this is the tip . It has grown very quickly and is now beginning to get worried. For the future, there are several questions that cut expectations, “said Anders Ekdahl, president of SINF.

Many companies experience that they are in the midst of the economic boom, but there are also a awareness that the future contains many uncertain factors.

“What happens to krona, the trade agreement with the United States, brexit and the presidential elections in the US? In addition, large parts of southern Europe are still problems, “says Anders Ekdahl.

Still it more than half who believe in increased order intake during the third quarter, but there is a slight decrease compared with the previous quarter.

the proportion that are planning to hire has decreased, from 31 percent to 26 percent. It is also slightly more planning to lay off staff, even though it is a relatively small proportion, 11 percent.

“Compared with the first six months, optimism has been dampened,” said Anders Ekdahl.

In an open question about what factors are most important continues long payment times to be a hobbyhorse. Subcontractors suffer from major companies pulling out of the payments and want to be paid within 30 days.

There’s something Industry Ministry watching. Industry Minister Mikael Damberg (S) has ordered an evaluation of how the amendment in 2013, which forced the public sector to pay within 30 days, has affected the private sector. It should be ready in the fall.

the latest snack ice in the electric car world is Tesla’s launch the new P100D models. Both the Model S and Model X, an updated battery of 100 kWh.

What many to react was the acceleration time to 60 mph (96 km / h), namely 2,5 seconds for the Model S and 2, 9 seconds for the Model X.

Take a few seconds and think through these figures. So this is about family cars that can accelerate as fast, or far faster than real exotic supercars.

But the impressive acceleration figures also made an equally important innovation was somewhat overshadowed.


  
  

The new battery pack also makes Model S really manage to get far above the “magic” range limit of 300 US miles, at least when Tesla says the estimated range of the US EPA cycle. This corresponds to about 48 mil.

When Tesla unveiled the face lift version of the Model S P90D stated range to 294 miles in mixed driving according to the EPA. But on the motorway, the figure was 303 miles, and it was the first time an electric vehicle came across the border.

The new P100D-version Tesla Model S will then pass 315 miles (50 ; 7 mil) in mixed driving, about Tesla’s calculations are correct. Thus, it is well above the 300 limit.

Since it is a known fact that the reported range figures rarely match reality – there are many factors at play, including air resistance, surface, weather conditions and driving style.

But the 300-limit is now officially exploded, at least on paper, and it does indeed some pressure on the competition.
