On the 8 November the new biography about Zlatan Ibrahimovic, ‘I am football’ will be released.

Ibrahimovics first biography (part 1), ‘I am Zlatan Ibrahomovic’ is one of the most read books in Sweden ever and one of the highest ranked sports biographies.

‘I am football’

It is my friend, Mats Olsson ä, that has helped Zlatan to write the book.

This is what Zlatan says about the book:

“Next week my new book I am football is out! It is a book about my career as a football player and it has been a lot of fun working on it. Lots of pictures and interviews with me and with people I have worked with through my career”.

Don’t miss this book. It will be even better than the first part of the extraordinary story of Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

We are getting closer. Will the final deal proposal pass the UK Parliament?

Theresa May’s secret plan to secure a Brexit deal and win the backing of parliament can be revealed today.

Senior sources say the prime minister has secured private concessions from Brussels that will allow her to keep the whole of Britain in a customs union, avoiding a hard border in Northern Ireland. They expect this to placate remainer Tories and win over some Labour MPs.

And in a move that will appeal to Eurosceptics, May is also said to be on course to secure a political deal on a “future economic partnership” (FEP) with the European Union that will allow Britain to keep open the prospect of a free trade deal resembling that enjoyed by Canada.

The Sunday Times has been told that preparations for a final deal are far more advanced than previously disclosed and will lead to a document of 50 pages or more when it is published — not the vague, five-page plan many expect.

On Iceland there is now a company, Aha, that delivers takeways by drones.

The company works with the biggest takeeway restaurants. You order your food in a smartphone app, the drone picks it up and deliveres wherever you are. Everybody is a winner, also the environment since it a very environment friendly way of transport.

There are more than 1 million drones registered in the U.S. Most of them belong to people flying them for fun, but a growing number are used commercially. Companies including Amazon, UPS, Google and DHL are already exploring ways to deliver packages with drones instead of trucks. Our new research has measured how that shift would change how the U.S. uses energy, and the resulting environmental effects.

We found that in some cases using electric-powered drones rather than diesel-powered trucks or vans could reduce energy use and greenhouse gas emissions. But in other cases, using trucks – especially electric-powered ones – would be more efficient and cleaner.

The U.S. electricity sector has been rapidly transitioning to generating power with fewer greenhouse gas emissions. But transportation is still largely powered by fuels made from oil and is now the largest source of greenhouse gas emissions in the U.S. About one-quarter of transportation emissions, the equivalent of 415 million metric tons of carbon dioxide, comes from medium- and heavy-duty trucks, the kinds of vehicles that deliver freight to warehouses, businesses and consumers’ homes.

Reducing the need for trucking by delivering some packages with electric drones could save fuel, and potentially carbon emissions. We modeled how much energy drone delivery would use, and how it would be different from the ways packages are delivered now.

I think that this is a great way of using new technologies in our daily lives. Itbis all about people, creativity and ideas. Next time I visit my best friend on Iceland, Snorri Olden, I will definitely try the drone delivery of a pizza.
