(Dagbladet): We often hear stories of homeless, injured or sick animals are cared for and receive help from volunteers.
Care and love can sometimes be medicine itself, but sometimes it must be more comprehensive treatment to .
A group of veterinarians and other professionals in Brazil, using groundbreaking 3D technology helped a number of wounded animals to replace broken or lost limbs.
the team, known as the Animal Avengers and is based in Sao Paulo, comprised of four veterinarians, an oral surgeon and a 3D designer.
the group was primarily formed for their common interest and love scientific and animals.
Custom dentures mutilated animals can save lives and d e realized that they could make an extraordinary work using pioneering technology.
turtle Freddy was the first turtle in the world to receive new shell using 3D technology and was the first to receive the help of veterinarians.
Freddy got shell destroyed and was near death when she was seriously injured in a forest fire in 2015.
the situation was very critical when she was found. Freddy was severely injured and had been without food for 45 days, according to a press release from the news agency Noticias GC.
process of constructing a new skin started to take around 40 photos of the turtle at all angles before they were compared with images of a healthy turtle.
the images were used to create a 3D model of the turtle. Four different plastic pieces were then constructed by means of a 3D printer. The pieces were added together into a shell, almost like a puzzle.
3D printing builds layered up model or prototype through a rapid process. It is added to one layer of new material in liquid or powder form and store this in the desired contour. Different materials can be used, but plastic is most commonly used.
Each of the four shell parts must have taken over fifty hours to produce, which was much more than expected, according to the Huffington Post.
After the shell was finished, there was only one thing that remained. The shell was white, which is not so particularly good for a turtle. Brazilian artist Yuri Caldera painted in colors that were fit camouflage for Freddy.
Before it was painted used group time to find a type of paint that would not be detrimental to Freddys health.
According to 9News has Freddy really well today and has achieved great progress after she was near death a year ago.
animal Avengers have besides Freddy helped a number of other animals, including several birds. In July 2015 they ensured that a toucan got a 3D prosthesis after upper beak had been destroyed in an accident. They also developed and produced the world’s first 3D metal beak to bird Gigi, a bird of the species macaw, parrot belonging to the family.
The group volunteer and spend money from their own pockets for their projects.
(Dagbladet): Over the last 50 years, has second as we know it has been defined the same way. But time may now soon be past.
German scientists think they have figured out how to make the most accurate clock ever and precision we then be astonishing.
If it had started to tick for 14 billion years ago during the Big Bang, it would only have “lost”, or inaccuracies of 100 seconds.
for people will not the new level of precision be appreciable noticeable, but it may for example have an influence on where GPS systems are.
Time traditionally, as in old grandfather clocks, been measured by a pendulum that swings from side to side. The principle is the same in atomic clocks, but here used the natural motion of a cesium atom.
Since 1967, a second has been defined as the time it takes such an atom to move forward and to bake 9,192,631,770 times.
This provides a margin of error of about a nanosecond (0.000000001 seconds) every 30 days.
the new method now presented in the journal Optica, describes a watch that instead uses strontium.
gauge one a second after the movements of a strontium atom, it will be equivalent to 429 billion times the same cycle.
When it comes to accuracy, the error margin will be 0.2 nanoseconds over 25 days. The margin of error is, in other words almost one fifth of a cesium clock.
Christian Grebing, which is one of the authors, refer to it as “a milestone”, but stressed that it would be reasonable to wait little by phasing in the new system.
– But the message is that we will gain from implementing these optical clocks, he said.
The latest figures from Linga Salmon Thursday. Previously it was said that up to 30,000 salmon could have escaped.
The figure was thus even higher. Stein Byrkjeland, assistant miljøvernsjef in the County that they are buzzed anglers who want to fish for salmon. Linga Salmon pay 200 kroner per salmon catches up.
– But they must fish with a rod. Yarn is not legal, it gets only Linga Salmon even do, says Byrkjeland.
The reason is that one is afraid that the fishermen should also take wild salmon in nets.
Norwegian owners of salmon rivers now believe that labeling of farmed salmon is the only right thing to do.
using tagging will be able to quickly detect farmed salmon, find out where it comes from and whom it has escaped from. But farmers argue, among other things the cost of labeling.
– It is very effective, and the technology is there, says communications manager in Norwegian salmon rivers, Pål Mugaas.
On Thursday night escaped salmon from Linga Salmon their farms in the Hardangerfjord, and recapture fishing is in full swing in the rivers.
– We think it’s a tragedy, it is not the first time the escaping fish in Hardangerfjord. It is a particularly vulnerable area with very much farming, says Mugaas.
What they fear is that the fish that are left, will go up the rivers in Hardanger when fall comes and mix with wild salmon spawning ground. The genetic influence could destroy salmon stocks.
Recently, 104 wild objects studied, where only a third of these were unaffected by farmed salmon. And in Hardangerfjord are going badly.
– We have clear measurements that in Hardangerfjorden already occurred significant interbreeding with farmed salmon in wild salmon populations, says research leader at the Norwegian Institute for Nature Research (Nina), Kjetil Hindar.
– When escaping additional fishing in the Hardanger Fjord, it will mean an increased burden on these tribes, he said.
The fish that escaped from Linga salmon, was around 4 kg and soon ready for harvest. Hindar think it could mean that the fish has swum so far.
– When the fish is four kilograms or more, it suggests that this is salmon that will be sexually mature in years and will spawn in the fall. As experience shows that fish will escape at this stage tend to end up in the rivers nearby, says Hindar.
Etne river, which has previously been very exposed to farmed salmon, have a defense. At the bottom of the river stands a fish trap, so that one can distinguish farmed fish.
– But that’s because the river in Etne experienced an extreme pressure of farmed salmon in the past, and therefore this trap set up explains Mugaas.
He believes the smaller rivers in the Hardanger Fjord is more vulnerable.
– in many rivers fished there, since it comes as little wild there. Thus, there is also very little supervision of what happens in the rivers, and where will the farmed salmon that escape, have free rein, he said.

as the head of a company that offers an interactive 360 degree video productions for both mobile web and various installations, he is in no doubt about the potential that technology offers the travel industry.
– I think in the highest degree that the travel industry will drive the VR 360 video forward. This technology provides an incredibly strong sense of being present at a destination, says Nerland.
– You take on some glasses, and then you are suddenly in a new environment . Around you see the mountains and fjords. Behind you is maybe some fishermen, and a box of fish. You are present, and meets the environment in a completely different way than you do with traditional flat.

In order to create these interactive productions, the company has Nerland developed purpose-built rigs that are not necessarily cheap. So far, it is costly and time consuming to make VR in a proper way.
However, the technology is becoming more accessible. Through various apps ordinary people can upload their own images and make them interactive.
The new phones will make it even easier to share unique travel experiences online and social media. This makes the technology “a gift for the travel industry”, says marketing strategic leader John-Steve Linløkken in North Norwegian tourism.
– This has great potential. One gets a totally different opportunity to experience a place before visiting it, which can help more people discover the unique nature we have in Norway.

– New technology gives us new opportunities to share experiences much greater extent than before. Not only we, but also consumers, as well as greatly contribute to the promotion of the region, said Paulsen.
They have even invested a lot of video content already, and have not handed out a single brochure of 8 years. For a company that is dedicated to making nature accessible to guests, the VR and 360 degree video eventually be a natural next step.

(Dagbladet): It was Tuesday conducted an extensive raid in technology giant Google’s headquarters in Paris. According to police, should be a part of a larger investigation related to money laundering and tax evasion. It writes British The Guardian.
The raid, which was conducted in the morning hours, involved more than 100 investigators, and will help the authorities to find out whether the company has failed to pay tax in France by posting revenues in Ireland which is their European base.
the French authorities believe that Google owes them as much as 15 billion in taxes.
the news comes just a few months after the company agreed to after paying 1.6 billion tax money to the UK for the period 2005 to 2014.
Meanwhile, Google needs to come pay more tax on their English advertising revenue.
in Norway especially Schibsted fronted requirement for equal tax for Norwegian media companies and multinational companies like Google and Facebook. It wrote Dagens Næringsliv in January. If not, they believe it is impossible to win the battle against online giants.
Google has, like many other technology companies, established base in Ireland. The reason for that is that corporate taxes are considerably lower here than in many parts of Europe. A spokesman for Google said according to the British The Telegraph that they are now collaborating with French authorities.
Earlier this month warned several Norwegian parliamentarians the Norwegian government against follow the British in pursuit of a tax settlement. – Companies can not even be in determining the level of taxation, said Sps Marit Arnstad to class struggle. Google paid the rest 2.9 million kroner tax in Norway in 2014 – according to the class struggle at a rate of microscopic 0.15 percent.
Asko Lillesand grasps the green shift. Tomorrow they open the largest solar plant on roof in Lillesand.
– We have a vision for Asko Norway to go carbon neutral by 2020, and then it is up to each company in the group to make it says Peder Syrdalen, CEO of Asko South Coast.
With 5,000 square meters of solar panels on the roof, get storage and transportation company in Lillesand Wednesday the largest solar panel.
Nine million has cost, and everything is built without a single penny in subsidies. The plant has a life expectancy of about 30 years.

– the material was produced by Elkem before it was sent and assembled in Singapore. Then it came back as finished construction in Lillesand, says project in Norway Group, Thor Usterud.
Also previously now been praised for being environmentally conscious.
– On this roof we have 2,770 solar panels. The plant will provide between 600 and 650,000 kilowatts of power a year, says managing director of Sun-Net, Morten Meier.
The plant officially opened on Wednesday.
– We are learning now in more ways and in more places than before. What previously took place in the school also takes place at home and abroad. The boundaries are more blurred, says Oddgeir Tveiten, professor at the Institute for global development and social planning at the University of Agder.
Tveiten believes this trend makes the need to ask the question about the role social media has and will have in teaching.
He believes many schools and universities are not good at using social media in education.
– We must have a more thoughtful as to how technology is taken into the classroom. Understanding the opportunities social media is very important. I would challenge the minister to take these issues more seriously than he does, says Tveiten.
Oddgeir Tveiten is excited to hear the speech of Google employee number eight, Peter Norvig, in Kristiansand in June. Norvig should probably talk about including online learning at World Learning Summit 2016.
NRK put the challenge on to the Minister Torbjørn Røe Isaksen and asked what place he believes social media should have in education today and in the future.
in an email Ministry writes that the minister unfortunately did not have the opportunity to comment on the matter.
Tveiten spends much of the year in Silicon Valley in order to follow the latest technology and has a straw into the core of Facebook and Google.
for the sixth consecutive year, he helped organize a major conference on the future of learning methods in mid-June in Kristiansand.
One of those who will make presentations there is analysis boss of Google International, Peter Norvig.
– Norvig is a pioneer in media-rich teaching and it will be his first lecture in Europe, says Tveiten.

(Dagbladet): Knut Fremstad (45) Fall in Southern Countries ended this weekend in a little predicament. As he acknowledges himself, it is not the world’s greatest problem, but Friday he got a real surprise when he should withdraw money in the village to provide the confirmation gift Saturday.
– It is absolutely amazing that it should be so difficult to get hold of some cash, says Fremstad Dagbladet.
He believes more in rural Norway finds it to him, with several ATMs moved and payment solutions that increasingly relies on technology.
– We have Kiwi, Rema 1000, Statoil and Joker here. I have visited all without getting out of money, he said.
Fremstad was going to take out a thousand patch he could give as a gift. That he was not done.
So he believes it has been for the ATM in the village were moved about a month ago. Although there are post office – which will have a cash guarantee – by both wild and Statoil store, was not the case Friday.
– I have to drive to Gurgaon tonight. I have no other choice. It’s not too bad for me to run the scant four twenty miles it is, but not everyone has that opportunity. There are many who share my frustration over this. Although we do not necessarily used ATM as often as we had it, it’s nice to be able to relate to it, said Fremstad when Dagbladet spoke with him Friday.
Fremstad says he has nothing strong relationship with cash, but also believes that there have been several situations lately where he has penetrated it.
– Recently it was May 17, there have been confirmations. Then I like to have cash. In addition, the clubs, associations, sports clubs, ticket sales. If the Salvation Army comes to the door, I would like to have ten bucks or two to give away, he says.
– How do we learn unga our money when we do not have anything concrete to show for it? One can Vippse and transfer, but I will be available when I can not get used banknotes and coins anymore. It is completely legal currency, he said.
Large Bank DNB has also stated that it wants a cash-free Norway. This is also the bank to Frem, who could give him the cash he needed Friday.
– It seems that we are really guided by what DNB and the other banks want and can make money. Now I make sure to have cash every time I come home to the village, he said.
Communications DNB, Margaret E. Giske, says DNB customers such as Fremstad shall take out money in stores that have post office.
– We have Norway’s best access to cash. At places that have mail or bank in store should you take out cash. We have this over 2,000 locations in Norway, and no one has better access.
DNB was in contact with the two shops with post office, and confirms that there have been restrictions on the cash balance.
– There has been confirmation two weekends in a row, which probably could be one explanation. We just regret that too on behalf of the store, Giske said.
She says it is natural that there are fewer ATMs than before.
– They are generally used much less than before, Giske said.

Lung cancer is cancer that take the most lives in Norway. In 2014 stood lung cancer for the scarce 20 percent of all cancer deaths in Norway. Eight out of ten lung cancer cases are caused by smoking, according to the Cancer Registry.
A new breath gauge to detect early stages of lung cancer. The breath gauge will be tested at 15 British hospitals.
Owlstone Medical has developed a new microchip sensor technology that can measure volatile organic compounds, VOC, when patients exhale.
This type of technology is already used as part of efforts to diagnose several diseases, but it is expensive and complicated to use, the news agency Reuters.

According to the CEO of Owlstone Medical, Billy Bowle, their breath meter smaller and easier to use than the machines that are in use today.
– Chemical analysis work has historically made very large space and cost more than half a million dollars. We have developed a new microchip sensor technology. That means we have made a breath gauge the size of a button, says Bowle said.
Bowle tells Reuters that the sensor was originally developed to detect explosives and toxic gases. It has been reprogrammed to detect chemical markers of disease.
Initially, the new breath meter tested as a diagnostic tool for lung cancer, but it is planned several clinical trials.

Lung cancer is a very serious form of cancer, which often has spread to other organs or lymph nodes at time of diagnosis. This makes the disease very difficult to treat. According to the World Health Organization dies 1.5 million people from lung cancer worldwide each year. Only ten percent of patients diagnosed with the disease live more than five years.
Chemical markers for the disease, according to Bowle be possible to detect at a very early stage of the disease, even before the formation of tumors . This makes the disease easier to cure.
It has taken over ten years and more than $ 28 million to develop the new microchip sensor technology.
Doctor Robert Rintoul at Papworth hospital in Cambridge is involved in testing the new breath meter. He believes breath meter can be an important tool in the diagnosis of lung cancer.
– Do you have lung cancer, it produces cancer a variety of chemicals. The amounts are very small. About breath meter can detect the tiniest of volatile compounds, we can assume that the patient has lung cancer and investigate this further, says Rintoul told Reuters.

(Dagbladet): “QWERTY”. A term we are all back every day, without us thinking appreciably over it. It is namely the term for the standardized keyboard.
A new study shows that there are so incorporated in us, that it is the origin of its own power. QWERTY effect. It writes the online magazine Quartz.
The study, now available online, reveals that words that contain more letters from the right side of the keyboard are ranked higher and printed more often than their counterparts with overweight of “left letters.”
it turned out, however, as it so often does, that rule has one exception. At porn website Redtube was the opposite.
– This may mean that the hand-opinion ratio does not have to manifest itself in all contexts, the authors write.
here it is evident that there venstreord is easier to relate to. Cause ratio is only speculation.
One theory is as basic as that “right is better than the left.” Another is that we prefer the right side because most people are right-handed. Therefore these words are easier to write.
Another scientist who has made an effort to crack the code, is Naomi Baron, an expert on language and technology. She says the New Scientist that it can be as simple as that there are more vowels on the right, and the vowels often used to express positive feelings.
– We do not feelings in the majority of consonants our, we loading them into vowels, she said.
It turns out also that the preference for “rightist” word, can not be transferred to the articles and goods we buy today. Name the other hand is an entirely different matter.
A study from 2014 says that name with letters from the right side of the keyboard has become more popular after the QWERTY keyboard was standardized in the 1960s.
another study from 2012 shows that QWERTY effect is particularly strong in words that were first implemented by the keyboard as we know it was introduced.

– It is a challenge but this will take 20 years. We have a time no to branch, says Ulstein.
Ulstein victory also opportunities are many, but the urgency to take action.
– Eg’m afraid we are doing too little too late. We need to face up to new technology to develop future workplaces. It is a challenge that we in the business community should take and will take, says Ulstein.

A few days ago we wrote that there was strong rumors that Google was about to find a partner for the development of its autonomous car.
Google has since 2009 tested self-driving cars, and has invested substantial sums in the development of autonomous technology. But what strategy of the company is, it has not been so good to say.
Will Google develop all the technology, then let another manufacturer take care of the actual construction of the car. Or will Google do everything themselves, and produce their own car?

(The article continues below )
Google’s own test car has far more modest goals than Minivan.
Now we have some more answers, Google and FCA (Fiat Chrysler automobiles), has officially gone out and confirmed that they will cooperate on autonomous vehicles. The cooperation will initially start with 100 copies of the new Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid Minivan.
The agreement gives good sense for both parties. Google can fully concentrate on the autonomous technology, while FCA, which has been somewhat left behind in terms of technology, you get access to Google’s research.
Financial sums agreement is not mentioned, and it is not mentioned something that Chrysler could one day produce cars for Google. Right now it’s just a collaboration to test self-driving cars, and nothing more.

The interior of the Chrysler Pacifica. The steering wheel is enough quickly dismantled when Google get their copies.
Chrysler will design Mini habits to make it as easy as possible for Google installing the computers that contain the autonomous software and sensors that make the software look what’s happening on the road around the vehicle. A spacious vehicle like a minivan also makes Google is testing a car, where it is easy to enter and exit, and which has sliding doors.
The last thing you might want to get tested, if Google and FCA considering launching his vehicle as a challenger to conventional types of public transport.
Chris Urmsom, head of Google’s project, said that just this could be a potential business model. He said that companies that carry passengers, perhaps rather buy autonomous minivans than expensive buses, and federal standards determine which types of vehicles cities can use for transport.

Chrysler Pacifica is now gone on sale in the US, and is expected to sell well.
Chrysler Pacifica was first shown at the Detroit Motor show in January, and the regular version (not hybrid) went on sale in the US in March, but the hybrid coming later. Google already has the Lexus RX 450h in its test fleet, so Pacifica is not their first encounter with the hybrid world. Test Fleet of around 70 vehicles, with 100 minivans in addition, will more than double the fleet.
The ultimate goal is to get the world’s first autonomous car sales, and Google is working intensively together with Ford and Volvo (which is also far ahead in the area) to the federal government to try to put in place a clear and straightforward rules for self-driving cars. Right now there are a plethora of legal issues that must be overcome before the autonomous cars are taking over our roads.

Sellevold is optimistic about the future and do not believe the bad launch has stuck with Norwegian readers.
– There were very few people who were joined by the launch, so I do not think it has scared away many. I feel that people trust the technology now. My experience is that those tests it out, continue reading e-books.

When the time comes, think Prytz that e-book has the potential to change the literature.
– How e-book looks now fit the best linear narratives, with few characters, so you have to scroll back to remember what you have read. The writer must care little about the visuals in the text, as this can not be passed on to the e-book. With today’s technology, this is particularly problematic for poetry.
