Apple can stop concert pictures – NRK

Lighted mobile screens may disappear from concert venues, according to Pitchfork.

According to music magazine, Apple has now received patent on technology that among other things can be used to block calls from taking photographs or filming during concerts.

Thus, the future look bleak for those who want to share concerts on platforms like Snapchat, Instagram, Twitter or Facbook.

According to Pitchfork should Apple have filed a patent application on technology already in 2009.

the patent allows the use of technology where mobile cameras capture infrared signals which can both be used to get information about nearby objects, such as in a museum, but which can also be used to disable the phone’s photo features.

According to The New York Times, the technology can easily be used to disable the camera during concerts by artists emit infrared signals from the stage.

The newspaper writes that the technology can slow the extent of sharing of recordings that violate copyrights.

Fekk concession to build the worlds largest fish farms on land – NRK

The facility being added Botnastranda start right outside Floro will polluted less in surroundings, enjoying and be better for the fish, according to Kjell Audun Aasen, who is a partner in Nekst.

– Lake in the facility are reuse, and muck and debris are filtered out and used for biofuels and fertilizers, says Aasen.

in addition, they could control the temperature and quality of the lake, which in turn creates optimal fish welfare.

Cooperation with local knowledge

the large facility will consist of several, large concrete pool that fish shall bu in. the facility will of filter is excludable mail hatcheries.

This means that the fish is staying in the facility for they are ein kilogram large. In more traditional hatcheries the fish transferred to sea sites when it is 100 grams. Aasen waiting that the project will provide many new skills workplaces Floro, but he will not say how many Enno.

– Both the self facility and subcontractors need expertise workplaces. This right is a complex system, he says.

The company is therefore in contact with the local scientific community.

– We have talked with secondary schools and local university departments to ensure us people with knowledge dei jurisdictions, says Aasen.

it happens no Vidar plant design, it is a process which in any case will take a one year period, according to Aasen.

Fast processing applications

he is glad that they no can get started with the project, and he says that the losing fortare getting licenses than they had reckoned with.

– the project is well documented and through arbeidd, and all aspects were done explain, says Region Director of industry and culture in Sogn og Fjordane, Jan Heggheim about the application process.

Nekst currently working on finding financial partnarar project. Dagens Næringsliv type that they need two billion to build the plant, which will be larger than 12 football fields.

Expert Selection: All households should pay NRK license – NRK

– Our advice is to make a long-term and robust funding for high legitimacy and public acceptance in the future, says Tore Olaf Rimmereid.

Rimmereid, which is NRK earlier administrative and financial officer, has led efforts to examine how the public broadcaster should be funded in the future.

All households must pay

According Rimmereid have expert committee concluded that the current license collection, which is linked to television sets, not forward-looking.



SUGGEST AMENDMENT: Tore Olaf Rimmereid has led expert committee.

A majority of the Committee believes that NRK license not berries be tied to whether you have television or not, but if one disposes of a dwelling.

– the contribution will be in line with what households pay today or maybe a little less, say Rimmereid who believe the new scheme is confused like the old.

today license fee of 2834.70 million.

– Many people will not experience any great difference, says Rimmereid.

Young does not use TV

the proposal is, according Rimmereid, that the use of NRK is changing. The Committee believes that fewer people will use television in the future.

– The younger generation does not look at NRK television but smartphones PCs or tablets. They have a completely different way using NRK than what we’ve seen historically, and it must be the collection of license Broadcasting assimilating says Rimmereid.

discourages tax model

the Committee has over the past year spent much time looking at the license solutions other countries have chosen.

– We find no clear answer to this, there is no quick fix, says Rimmereid.

Among the arrangements committee has looked at is the Finnish model, which is a tax financing of the national broadcaster.

– it would have meant that one had made a own NRK tax that would be collected over other taxes. We have considered the model and determined that it is not something we recommends, says Rimmereid.

Broadcasting boss is ready to debate

Broadcasting Chief Thor Gjermund Eriksen says he looks forward to reading the report to be presented on Friday.



READY fOR DEBATE: According to broadcasting chief Thor Gjermund Eriksen believes that it is time to change the NRK license.

– It’s a perfect time to take this discussion now. The current arrangement is working, never more paid license. But we must be prepared that fewer households will have TV’s in the future, says Eriksen.

According to Eriksen should think long term when deciding how the new licensing system to work but that NRK’s ​​editorial independence must be preserved. Moreover, he believes that the scheme must also be legitimate and perceived as fair by the public, in addition to being robust in relation to the development of new technology.

– This is a strength for NRK that payment goes right of audience to NRK, and is not part of the state budget, says Eriksen, adding that he believes politicians will make a decision within a year.

World-leading technology in new ferries – NRK

Today signed AtB and Fjord1 a contract for circuits Brekstad-Valset and FosenNamsos Sea for Sambandet Flakk-Å.

Both circuits will get new modern ferries, where the environment is the main focus. Karin Bjørkhaug is the leader in committee for infrastructure and are very pleased with the results.

– We demanded the ferry instructed that should halve emissions have remained at 14,000 tons per year. The result we see now is that we surpass this objective and will be around 4,000 tons per year.



IMPORTANT tECHNOLOGY: Karin Bjørkhaug is the leader in committee for infrastructure and believe we are on the right path when it comes to environmentally sound technologies.

This cut represents 20 percent of emissions from transport in Sor-Trondelag.

– the ferry on the route Brekstad – Valset hybridized 80 percent and Flakk- Rørvik 43 percent. This kind of technological solutions is new and with this acquisition we are helping to develop the climate-friendly technology further, telling Bjørkhaug.

1. January 2019, the new ferries to be in place.

Want zero-emission ferries

Environmental Foundation ZERO is very satisfied with the new ferries and how much emissions are reduced.

– this is the world’s leading solutions and real good news for the green shift in the maritime sector, says technology responsibly in environmental foundation ZERO, Marius Gjerset.

Although they are happy they reduced emissions and the new technological solutions, they should still wish that these ferries were zero-emission ferries.



HAPPY Technical coordinator of the environmental foundation ZERO, Marius Gjerset satisfied with the ferries, but wish it was used other fuel.

– Parliament has decided that all ferries should be low- or zero-emission ferries. Flakk – Rørvik stretch will still rely much on fossil diesel in the new solution. We wish the fossil diesel was replaced with renewable biodiesel so would stretch become totally fossil, says Gjerset.

Bjørkhaug says that in this process have not set requirements on the technology or fuel type ferries should have. They also focused on a limit for how much emissions it should be.

– Once you have hybrid ferries expand application for lavutslippsfergen. Gets developed the technology, the longer distances than today on pure elteknologi. It is an important step forward.



Several technological solutions

Along with the new ferries will also be invested in the charging infrastructure and automatic mooring. There is also an agreement with ENOVA THAT makes this possible.

– Hybrid ferries have access to electricity and battery packs. That the county invest in. With automatic mooring kept ferries docked using vacuum. Then do not ferries to use engine power to remain docked.

This is a good start for a more environmentally friendly transport sector in Trøndelag, although there are still some challenges.

– We have challenges, especially when it comes fast. There are discharges very large. We can easily justify the use of them now that we have made such great cuts. Yet it is very important that the public contributes his purchase to develop new technology.

New technology will tell when traffic lights change color – NRK

NTNU and NPRA has long collaborated on intelligent traffic lights. Now the 48 of traffic lights in the city equipped with technology that tells the cars when the lights switches so that the driver is aware of the speed recommendation towards traffic lights.

The aim is better, safer and more environmentally friendly traffic.

– it is the green curve on the far left for speedometret as recommended speed, the information is intentionally made small that it should not interfere unnecessarily, says Erik Israelsson in Volvo.



TESTS tECHNOLOGY: Technical expert at Volvo, Erik Israelsson testing technology in Trondheim traffic light.

– Will improve the flow

Chief Engineer of the Transport Office, Ørjan Tveit think the system has many benefits.

– As a driver, you can easily figure out how to adapt his speed towards an intersection. Then you can run quieter, which will be better for the driver and the environment. One can then follow a green wave through several intersections, so that one gets a better speed profile on the road says Tveit.

Many automakers are now working intensively on technology to develop self-driving cars. The technology is being tested in Trondheim can be an important part of developing framtias city driving. Among them is Ford that has come all the way from Gothenburg to test the technology in Trondheim traffic.

– The reason why we do it here in Trondheim is because NPRA has connected technology in many of the lights here in Trondheim . Then it will be easier for us at Volvo to get try out the technology in our cars, says Israelsson

– More digitized traffic

NPRA think traffic is going to change to become more digitized. Tveit believes it is important to be early with digitization in Trondheim.

– I think traffic is going to be more digitized ahead, and then it’s important that we’re early to get adapted to it. Then it will be printed and good for everyone, says Tveit.
