Kalix River Bridge design proposal by Erik Andersson Architects:

The Swedish Traffic Administration has commissioned Erik Andersson Architects to design a proposal for a new bridge over Kalix River, according to the architects. More than a mere crossing, the proposed bridge introduces a new public space where people can enjoy the sun and get closer to the water. It will also provide shelter from the elements thanks to a protected walkway.

The existing bridge over Kalix River will be replaced by a new one in 2019. As part of the initial design process, The Swedish Traffic Administration wanted to look into the possibility of introducing new features to the upcoming bridge, making it a central gathering place for the residents of Kalix.

As a solution, Erik Andersson Architects came up with a proposal offering separate routes for vehicles, pedestrians and cyclists, as well as creating public spaces such as viewing platforms and seating areas.

In the design, car and cycle lanes running on top of the bridge are separated from pedestrians below. The walkway is placed under the driveway, using the top as a roof and facing south in order capture the warmth of the sun.

This is Erik Andersson’s first project in Kalix, a municipality located in Norrbotten County in northern Sweden. The firm has previously designed bridges in Norrköping, Hammarby Sjöstad and Nynäshamn, and is currently working on a new bridge in Hagastaden, Stockholm, Sweden.

Manden, der fik skåret sin hjerne i skiver, af Kristoffer Frøkjær

50 vilde videnskablige forsøg

Har du nogensinde hørt om spionkatten Kitty? Hun blev trænet af CIA til at udspionere. De opererede en mikrofon ind i hendes øre og satte et batteri fast under huden på dens brystkasse. Så var hun klar til at blive sendt på mission. Smart tænkt, for ingen lægger jo mærke til katte. Hvordan Kittys mission gik, ved man ikke. Men der er forskellige teorier. Du kan også læse om en stædig forsker, der for over 200 år siden ville vide, hvordan sygdommen gul feber smittede. Han skar i sig selv og smurte syge menneskers bræk i sårene. Men han blev ikke smittet. Heller ikke da drak deres tis og blod... Faktisk løste han ikke gåden. Det gjorde andre 80 år senere.

Det er bare et par af de vilde videnskablige forsøg, du kan læse om i denne bog. Det er bestemt ikke kedelig læsning. Ind i mellem vanvittige forsøg på at fjernstyre dyr ved at sætte strøm til deres hjerner og to-hovede hunde, fortæller bogen også om klassiske videnskabelige forsøg som H.C. Ørsteds opdagelse af elektromagnetisme og Semmelweis´ opdagelse af at vaske hænder kan redde menneskeliv.

Fortalt gennem gode historier kommer man vidt omkring og bliver klogere undervejs. Her er nok at undre sig over og blive imponeret af. Piv god læsning for den nysgerrige.

New understanding of the evolution of cosmic electromagnetic fields

[ad_1]

Next year is the 200 years anniversary of the discovery of electromagnetism by the Danish physicist H.C. Ørsted. Even 200 years after its discovery, the existence of electromagnetism still brings up new puzzles pertaining to their origin.

One such mystery is the origin of electro magnetic fields on the very largest scale in the universe.

While researchers have believed for some time that…

Hans Christian Andersen – Ein fiktives Interview I Teil 2

„Hans Christian Andersen. Poet mit Feder und Schere“ ist die größte Präsentation zu Andersen als bildender Künstler, die jemals in Deutschland gezeigt wurde. In einem fiktiven Interview schildert der Märchendichter seine Reiseerfahrungen durch Europa, verrät uns sein Erfolgsrezept als Autor und spricht über seine bildkünstlerischen Arbeiten. Hier der zweite Teil des Interviews, geführt von dem Kuratorenduo Dr. Anne Buschhoff und Detlef Stein.

Das Reisen war im 19. Jahrhundert ja sehr beschwerlich bis die Eisenbahn erfunden war. Erinnern Sie sich noch an Ihre erste Eisenbahnfahrt?

„Oh, welche Großtat des Geistes ist doch diese Erfindung! Man fühlt sich so mächtig wie ein Zauberer der alten Zeit! Wir spannen unser magisches Pferd vor den Wagen, und der Raum entschwindet; wir fliegen wie die Wolken im Sturm, tun es den Zugvögeln nach! Unser wildes Pferd schnaubt und prustet, aus seinen Nüstern [...] Nur selten im meinem Leben, kann ich mich entsinnen, habe ich mich so ergriffen gefühlt [...], habe ich so mit allen Gedanken gleichsam Gott von Angesicht zu Angesicht geschaut.“[1]

Als gern gesehener Gesellschafter an europäischen Herrenhäusern und Höfen haben Sie auf Ihren Reisen oft aus Ihren Märchen vorgelesen. Längst gelten Sie als ein Modernist des Märchens. Was machte die literarische Form des Märchens in Ihren Augen so modern?

„Das Märchen ist Repräsentant aller Poesie. Wer möchte, kann das Tragische, das Komische, das Naive, die Ironie und den Humor hineinlegen und hat zugleich die lyrische Saite, das Kindlich-Erzählende und die Sprache der Naturbeschreibung zu seinen Diensten.“[2]

Ihre Märchen wenden sich eigentlich an Erwachsene, aber viele Leser denken immer noch, sie richteten sich an Kinder.

„Will man sich gut mit den Eltern stellen, so muß man sich mit ihren Kindern befassen, das ist eine Weise Regel.“[3]

Und wie schafft man es, als Märchendichter so berühmt zu werden?

„Alles in der Welt [ist] den Naturgesetzen unterworfen [...], so auch der Dichter; seine Berühmtheit hängt nicht von der Vortrefflichkeit seiner Werke, sondern von der Größe des Landes ab, diese und seine eigene Größe werden miteinander multipliziert, und das Vaterland ist immer ein Zehner.“[4]

Da müssen Sie selber lachen. Aber auch wenn Ihr Heimatland nicht das Größte ist, weisen Sie mit 1.85 m eine für damalige Verhältnisse weit überdurchschnittlich Körperlänge auf. Das hat sich offenbar sehr günstig auf die Multiplikation ausgewirkt!

Aber Scherz beiseite. Tatsächlich ist die Kritik nicht zimperlich mit Ihnen umgegangen. Oft hat man Sie auch spüren lassen, dass Sie nicht dem Kopenhagener Großbürgertum entstammten. In Ihrem Roman „Nicht nur ein Spielmann‘“ berichten Sie von ein paar hochnäsigen, jungen Leuten.

„Ein paar halbwüchsigen Jungen, deren Augen man deutlich ablesen konnte, dass ihre Väter Vermögen oder Ämter hatten, die ihnen Ansehen verschafften. Sie gehörten zu den vielen Nullen, die einer Familie zwar keinen Wert verleihen, die selbst aber zu Ansehen durch den Strich gelangen, hinter dem sie stehen.“ (lacht) [5]

Meist aber haben Sie im Kopenhagener Bürgertum allerhöchste Anerkennung gefunden. Kein geringerer als Hans Christian Ørstedt, der berühmte Physiker, hat frühzeitig Ihr literarisches Genie erkannt. Wie hat er sich damals noch gleich ausgedrückt?

„Sollten Ihre Romane Sie berühmt machen, so werden Ihre Märchen Sie unsterblich machen.“[6]

Wie Recht er damit hatte! Und er hat sogar auch ihre bildkünstlerischen Arbeiten gekannt und kommentiert.

„[...] Einmal zeigte ich Hans Christian Ørstedt [...] einige meiner Skizzen aus Italien, und er meinte, wäre ich nicht ein Dichter geworden, so hätte ich ein Maler werden können.“[7]

Maler sind Sie nicht geworden, aber Sie haben wunderbare Zeichnungen, Scherenschnitte und Collagen geschaffen, die dem deutschen Publikum heute kaum bekannt sind und mit denen die Kunsthalle Bremen noch bis zum 24. Februar 2019 ihre Besucher überrascht.

Sehr verehrter Herr Andersen. haben Sie herzlichen Dank für dieses inspirierende Gespräch. Dürfen wir Sie vielleicht zum Schluss noch bitten, unseren Lesern eines Ihrer wunderbaren Bonmots mit auf den Weg geben?

„Leben ist nicht genug! Sonnenschein, Freiheit und ein kleines Blümchen muss man haben!“[8]

Vielen Dank für das Gespräch!

DONG Energy To Change Company Name To ØRsted

Following the profound strategic transformation from black to green energy and the recent divestment of the upstream oil and gas production, the name DONG Energy does not fit the company anymore.

Consequently, DONG Energy has today called an Extraordinary General Meeting to ask the shareholders of the company to approve a change of the company name to Ørsted.

Image Credits: hornseaprojectone.co.uk

Thomas Thune Andersen, Chairman of the Board of Directors, says:

(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});

“DONG was originally short for Danish Oil and Natural Gas. With our profound strategic transformation and the divestment of our upstream oil and gas business, this is no longer who we are. Therefore, now is the right time to change our name.”

Thomas Thune Andersen continues:

“Our vision is a world that runs entirely on green energy. Climate change is one of the most serious challenges facing the world today, and to avoid causing serious harm to the global ecosystems, we need to fundamentally change the way we power the world by switching from black to green energy,” Thomas Thune Andersen concludes.

Henrik Poulsen, CEO of DONG Energy, says:

“2017 will be remembered as the year when offshore wind became cheaper than black energy, as demonstrated by the recent tenders for offshore wind in Germany and the UK. It has never been more clear that it is possible to create a world that runs entirely on green energy. The time is now right for us to change our name to demonstrate that we want to help create such a world.”

From green transformation to green growth

Over the past decade, DONG Energy has transformed itself from an energy company based on coal and oil to a global leader in renewable energy. The company has increased earnings considerably, while reducing the use of coal in its power stations and building out new offshore wind farms (see below). Since 2006, carbon emissions have been reduced by 52%, and by 2023, they will have been reduced by 96% compared to 2006.

Henrik Poulsen, CEO of DONG Energy, says:

“Today, we’re dedicated to green energy. Our focus going forward will be on green growth based on our existing business platforms in offshore wind, biomass, green customer solutions and advanced waste-to-energy solutions. We’ll also explore new green growth opportunities to strengthening our existing platform, if they support our vision, provide a strong competitive position and create value for our shareholders.”

DONG Energy has divested its upstream oil and gas business and decided to stop all use of coal. In addition, the company has established a new storage team to explore new business opportunities in energy storage. DONG Energy has also established a new corporate ventures unit in Silicon Valley, California, to explore emerging energy technologies and potential long-term business opportunities.

As battery storage and new energy technologies mature and as a more flexible demand side is developed, natural gas will, in the coming years, continue to support the transition to an entirely green energy system. DONG Energy will continue to trade in and sell natural gas to its customers, facilitating the bridge to a world that runs entirely on green energy.

The new name and brand

The new name – Ørsted – references the innovative Danish scientist Hans Christian Ørsted (1777-1851). Ørsted spearheaded several scientific discoveries, including the discovery of electromagnetism in 1820, which helped lay the scientific foundation for how today’s societies are powered.

As part of becoming Ørsted, a new logo and brand identity will be introduced. The new brand identity is inspired by the Danish design tradition in being simple, functional and human and supporting a sustainable way of life. The brand identity will consist of a full spectrum of colours, inspired by Scandinavian nature and the Danish 20th century artist Vilhelm Lundstrøm.

Henrik Poulsen says:

“We’ve undertaken significant efforts to find the right name and brand identity for our company. Our new name recognises H.C. Ørsted’s curiosity, dedication and interest in nature and our brand identity speaks to the innovation and profound understanding of nature, which is vital to creating a world that runs entirely on green energy.”

Extraordinary General Meeting

The planned name change will necessitate an amendment of the company’s Articles of Association. An Extraordinary General Meeting will be held on 30 October 2017 to formally decide the name change.

The notice convening the Extraordinary General Meeting is enclosed.

As a consequence of the name change, DONG Energy will change its stock exchange ticker to Orsted. The change in ticker will become effective from the start of trading on 31 October 2017, assuming a positive outcome at the general meeting.

The roll out of the new name and design across DONG Energy’s markets, will begin on 6 November

Radius Power Distribution

The Danish power distribution company Radius, which is wholly owned by DONG Energy and has a separate brand identity, will not be affected by the changes in company name and brand identity. Radius was renamed from DONG Energy El Distribution to Radius Elnet on 1 April 2016 and was given its own distinct visual identity to make it easier for our Danish customers to distinguish between the power distribution company and the rest of DONG Energy.

The information in this announcement does not change DONG Energy’s previous financial guidance for the financial year 2017 or the announced expected investment level for 2017.
