state-of-the-art terminal facility in Falköping is now complete and ready to revolutionise Swedish transhipment logistics With its impressive 85,000 square metres of storage space equivalent to around twelve football pitches this major investment marks a significant development for Jula Logistics and Sweden’s largest dry harbour APM Terminals recently had a tour of the facility The first train shuttle between the Port of Gothenburg and Falköping was introduced back in 2014 and today almost 19 shuttles are being handled per week with import goods for major players such as Jula as well as exports from basic industries.  Creating an APMTerminals.com account allows you to: An APMTerminals.com account enables you to save containers to your Container Watchlist set daily container email notifications or subscribe for Terminal Alerts Terminal Alerts provide you with real-time personalised operational updates via SMS or email An APM Terminals account is also required to manage Truck Appointments or access the Shipping Line Dashboard or Additional Service Requests at some terminals Thanks for visiting The use of software that blocks ads hinders our ability to serve you the content you came here to enjoy We ask that you consider turning off your ad blocker so we can deliver you the best experience possible while you are here son of Janelle Sturgis Avery of Tuscaloosa The bride-elect is the granddaughter of the late Mr She is a 1996 graduate of Allebergsgymnasiet in Falköping and a 2000 graduate of the University of Skövde where she received a bachelor’s degree in economics The prospective groom is the grandson of the late Dr He is a 1996 graduate of Central High School and a 2001 graduate of the University of Alabama where he received a bachelor’s degree in marketing He is employed by Maersk Tankers in New York City News in Science Monday, 10 January 2011 Emily SohnDiscovery News Rescue chief Christer Olofsson holds a dead bird in Falkoeping 2010.(Source: Bjorn Larsson Rosvall/Scanpix/AFP) 500 red-wing blackbirds died together in Louisiana while 100 jackdaws turned up dead on a street in Sweden an estimated 100,000 fish went belly-up the day before 5000 blackbirds slammed into roofs dramatic and high profile events have fuelled concerns that nature is coming to an end or at least that something weird and disturbing is going on in the animal kingdom major mortality events happen every year for reasons that include bad weather The main reason this recent spate of events seems so strange is that mass deaths occur in places where nobody notices them "This is really not the unusual thing that people are trying to make it into," says Robert Meese, an avian ecologist at the University of California, Davis "A lot of this stuff happens without anyone documenting it." Dramatic die-offs are most common in animals that congregate or travel in large groups migratory birds may also accidentally ingest pesticides or even poisons that were left specifically for them particularly if they migrate too soon in an unseasonably cold year Records kept by the United States Geological Survey list at least 16 die-offs of more than 1000 blackbirds or starlings over the past 30 years But group deaths among animals have been going on for a lot longer than that In a review study published in 2007 in the journal Ibis researchers looked through European and North American bird journals and other references dating back to the late 19th century They found frequent reports of deaths of birds in the hundreds an estimated 1.5 million Lapland Longspurs died during a March 1904 storm in Minnesota and Iowa And it's not just birds that can die en masse Tens of thousands of salmon died in Northern California's Klamath River in 2002 when the water temperature got too high for them seals and turtles get occasional attention caves full of bats have been dying from white nose syndrome And entire hives of bees have been going down for reasons that are still unclear they do it far from our daily lives in fields where animals often live at unusually high concentrations thousands of blackbirds had settled for the night in trees near people's homes After a series of fireworks blasts went off on New Year's Eve when the homeowner opened the door to see what was causing the racket making loud clunking noises as they shattered themselves to death Necropsies revealed internal haemorrhaging "They weren't falling as dead carcasses," Meese said Another unique aspect of the Beebe incident was that noise played a role a spokesperson for the USGS National Wildlife Health Center in Madison While the Swedish birds also died after a fireworks event mass die-offs are more likely connected to disease or weather "I think people are very often surprised that this kind of phenomenon happens that wildlife are susceptible to disease and that there are large outbreaks in the wild who points out that the USGS investigates reports like these every year "I think people should be aware that mortality events in wildlife are normal Tags: animals, animal-behaviour, fish, birds Email the editor Use these social-bookmarking links to share Birds falling from the sky 'not

Gothenburg University and Kiel University excavated a dolmen The archaeologists judge that the grave has remained untouched since the Stone Age the odd thing is that parts of the skeletons of the people buried are missing "Skulls and large bones are missing and may have been removed from the grave We don’t know whether that has to do with burial rituals or what’s behind it,” says Karl-Göran Sjögren Now that the researchers have examined the material from the grave they have found that it contains bones from hands and feet But skulls and larger bones such as thigh and arm bones are very few “This differs from what we usually see in megalith graves stone burial chambers  from the Neolithic period,” Karl-Göran Sjögren explains the bones that are missing are smaller bones from feet and hands.” His conclusion is that the bones come from at least twelve people But the archaeologists don’t yet know why they died “We haven’t seen any injuries on the people buried so we don’t think violence is involved But we are continuing to study their DNA and that will show whether they had any diseases,” says Karl-Göran Sjögren Falköping has long been known for its many passage graves dating from a somewhat later period Agriculture reached Falbygden in about 4000 BCE about 500 years before the grave in Tiarp was built the people buried in the dolmen were farmers “They lived by growing grain and keeping animals and they consumed dairy products,” says Karl-Göran Sjögren A number of samples were taken at the excavation last summer “The preliminary DNA results show that the DNA in the bones is well preserved This means we will be able to reconstruct the family relationships between the people in the grave and we are working on that now,” says Karl-Göran Sjögren Falbygden is known for its many traces of people from the Stone Age There are more than 250 passage graves here It’s about 200 to 150 years older than the passage graves making it one of the oldest stone burial chambers in Sweden and across the whole of Scandinavia,” says Karl-Göran Sjögren There is another thing that makes the grave unique This is unique for graves in Falbygden,” says Karl-Göran Sjögren The

organisation Jula launched an ambitious climate initiative with the aim of transferring more freight transport from road to rail and after a few years we expanded our cooperation to more companies we had succeeded in building up a broad customer base and increased volumes we made the decision to acquire the railway terminal in Falköping buy more land and establish more railroad tracks and terminals to cope with the major growth we have expanded to include five train tracks and three new terminal areas.  Our focus on investing in improving the environment remains strong and we are currently working intensively to build our own charging station for our electric trucks next to the terminal This will enable us to offer our customers a completely climate-neutral logistics chain in which the bulk of the volume is transported by train and then travels the last bit to the customer by electric truck In Jula Logistics’ own central warehouse we have invested in 60,000 square metres of solar cells The prerequisites for switching to electric trucks are optimal and we expect our entire fleet to be electric within five years.   We have been hit hard by low import volumes We have used this challenging period to invest and expand to offering more shuttles and larger warehouses as a means of paving the way for substantial expansion our new 80,000 square metre warehouse is expected to be completed Exports of Swedish basic industry are getting stronger and we believe that we have a very interesting product to meet the increasing demand we expect to increase to up to 12–13 circuits a week.   Subscribe to our Terminal Newsletter via your apmterminals.com account We'll be in touch when we've got something we're confident you'll be interested in Simply check the box
