By 1983, 1.7 million consoles had been sold in Sweden. Eventually, Nintendo opened its own branch in Europe, but the relationship between the two companies remained good and Scandinavian rights have always gone through Bergsala.  A Super Mario statue has stood outside Bergsala since the 1980s as a symbol of the collaboration between the two companies. However, the first iteration was not a perfect match for Mario. In 2016, the statue was replaced by one that is truer to Mario's official design. It has stood there ever since overlooking the highway, in the middle of a little park filled with Mario trivia. These massive animal sculptures were constructed as part of a reality TV show challenge. A 15-foot-tall statue of the head of the Sopranos family greets passengers at a train station in southeastern Lithuania. A 17th-century Shinto shrine that is home to statues of Mickey Mouse and Pikachu. This tribute to the 16th-century composer is now an unusual shrine to Michael Jackson. This riverfront statue honors the inventor of the first video games ever sold. A wealth of pop culture statuary and green chile dishes give this roadside restaurant clout. George Lucas donated this park to honor the birthplace of his two biggest movie franchises. A King Kong-like gorilla hangs from the top of this commercial building in Tokyo.

billion bottles are consumed worldwide and that is only water bottles,” said Anna Granath we saw that we could give PET bottles a second life by including them in our kitchen fronts.” The challenge was to make sustainable products available and affordable for the mass market since the use of recycled materials can often drive up costs Ikea and their development partners spent two years adjusting the materials and production process to be more affordable while not compromising on form “Ikea reaches out to so many people, so we wanted to design a product that is accessible and affordable,” said Jonas Pettersson, co-founder of design company Form Us With Love and leader of design for the Kungsbacka Kungsbacka is just the start,” said Granath “Since our products are bought by so many people by offering more sustainable materials we actually have the opportunity to improve the industry and contribute to worldwide changes.” “We were ready to make a bigger impact,” said Frouke Bruinsma head of corporate responsibility at G-Star “We hope our campaign has led to more awareness around this topic and hope recycling materials will become more mainstream.” The organization Parley for the Oceans helped both adidas and G-Star adapt ocean plastic for production. “At this point, it’s no longer just about raising awareness,” Gyrill Gutsch, founder of Parley for the Oceans, said in a press release “It’s about taking action and implementing strategies that can end the cycle of plastic pollution for good.” The use of recycled plastic is not new in itself. Patagonia, for example, launched its first fleece made from recycled plastic bottles in 1993 But recovered ocean plastic has not previously been scaled up for use in mass-market consumer products and mass-market brands like Ikea have traditionally shied away from recycled plastics to keep costs down The moves come at a time when more people are looking to brands to take the lead on social issues 88% of UK and US millennials and gen Zers believe brands need to do more good For more on rising consumer expectations of brands, read our Political Consumer report Before submitting your information, please read our Privacy Policy as it contains detailed information on the processing of your personal data and how we use it One person was injured in a shooting at a shopping centre in Kungsbacka in western Sweden on Sunday afternoon a man in his 50s was killed early on Monday morning in his apartment Police have arrested suspects in both cases Radio Swedenenglish@sverigesradio.se plus weekly summary on Fridays at 4.30pm on P2 (P6 89.6FM in Stockholm) Kontakta gärna Sveriges Radios forum för teknisk support där vi besvarar dina frågor vardagar kl having tight battles in both the 200 and 400 IM but ultimately touching 2nd in both Cal Bear and Mexican swimmer Humberto Najera took down a pair of national records in the men’s backstroke events 13-year-old Amelie Blocksidge has done it again lowering her own British Age Record in the girls’ 1500m freestyle event Competing on day one of the 2023 Swedish Grand Prix in Kungsbacka Blockidge registered a new lifetime best of 16:31.16 to grab the gold She got to the wall over 24 seconds ahead of the next-closest competitor to take the victory decisively Entering this meet, Blocksidge’s career-quickest and British Age Record rested at the 16:35.65 she put up just a few weeks ago at the Lancashire County Age Group Championships That was enough to rip her previous PB of 17:12.41 from last year to shreds the City of Salford Swimming Club sliced another 4 seconds off to check in with the fastest time ever for British 13-year-olds Blocksidge’s 16:31.16 would have placed 4th at the 2022 World Junior Championships and garnered the bronze medal at the 2022 European Junior Championships the British teen’s time would rank her as the 10th fastest American performer of all time in the 13-14 age group Look forward to seeing this event at British Champs No drugs in sport are you implying that Amelie is taking drugs I can say that Amelie doesn’t always PB and she deals with it very well for someone so young she just goes and works harder and smarter in training She is a very talented and sensible swimmer Your negative comments are Not welcome let her enjoy the moment and the success FYI Amelie got smashed in the face in the warmup this morning smashed her goggles and got a bad cut on her eye so she had to swim the first event 200 freestyle with training goggles and no warm and still made the B final My daughter swam with her for years at city of Salford She has not always PB’d and has worked very hard to achieve these amazing swims and times Keep going Amelie x love Emma and Emily 😘 she is ok thank you her eye and mouth are a bit sore but she still managed to win the 800 freestyle and smash the British 13and14 year female records but that does make her 8:39 800 Free just now all the more incredible Thank you she is absolutely amazing tough cookie and so focused The 7s PB for Phoebe Cooper (b.2008) in the 400im was a real eye-catcher too – 4.47 is not too shabby at her age She has four good strokes and has previously excelled over shorter distances so keep an eye out Now a 2:15.1 British 14 year old age group record in the 200IM beating a 2:15.2 set by Shanahan in 2019 She also went a 2:01 in the 200 Free just before this her 800 PB is 8:48 and she went through 800 in an 8:49 She possibly has a chance to make the world championships this year Fina A cut for World Champs this year in the 1500 is 16:29.57 less than 2 seconds quicker than what she just did I’m fairly confident she’ll be under that at trials but british swimming being british swimming means she’ll have to be sub 16 She’ll likely be at european juniors this year though where she’ll definitely be a medal threat Subscribe to our newsletter and receive our latest updates! © 2025 Swim Swam Partners, LLC.

A worst case analysis led to a best case scenario — something both Gurudeep and his manager Stefan Miholic agrees on Gurudeep Manjulgud Devraj is 25 years old and has made a long journey from his native Bangalore India — a city with millions of residents and where he received his bachelor’s degree in Mechatronics— to comparatively speaking tiny Kungsbacka in the western part of Sweden “I came to Chalmers in 2016 to get my master’s degree When it came time to select a topic for my master’s thesis I read a description for a thesis work on ‘worst case analyses’ that caught my eye.” Stefan Miholic had written the description Gurudeep contacted Stefan at ABB and was called to an interview “I felt good about Gurudeep from the start at the interview He was energetic and asked relevant questions,” remembers Stefan Miholic Stefan Miholic is head of the research and development department at ABB in Kungsbacka The factory develops products for machine safety that help prevent injuries to people working in the industry “The customer connects our products to a safety system which monitors You have to be able to trust the functionality and safety of an emergency stop device even if it hasn’t been used in five years,” says Stefan Miholic Thus rigorous tests and analyses are called for to validate and verify the products This is where worst case analyses come into the picture Gurudeep was tasked with producing a new analytical tool which could satisfy ABB’s high demands The two parties got to know one another during the months the thesis work was under way I learned new things every day and made a few mistakes along the way which was also educational,” says Gurudeep Stefan gained access to a thesis work student who was responsive down to earth and a good discussion partner — the exact qualities he likes to see in his employees Stefan believes that accepting thesis work students is better than any job interview Gurudeep was offered a job and has been an employee since last summer What is one piece of advice he has for other thesis work students “Remember that an interesting thesis work gives you the chance to learn about an organization from the bottom up The industry has resources but needs ideas,” says Gurudeep “We need to hire young people with a new outlook on our operations — people like Gurudeep who aren’t stuck in old ideas We need to have agile working methods in place but as a forty year old I might have a less flexible mindset.” Stefan says the thesis work was also a learning process for the company since they were able to take part in Gurudeep’s work process In the future he’s hoping to accept at least one thesis project student a year Accepting thesis work students is one way to increase the chance of hiring the right people “I want you to work where you enjoy the job and feel a bit challenged because that is when you will do your best Right now you are learning the basics about our products but eventually I hope to encourage you to seek higher ambitions here in Kungsbacka — and then there is all of ABB,” Stefan says to Gurudeep He looks forward to learning something new every day when he wakes up he hopes to return to the coffee plantation where he grew up and use technology to streamline the physically strenuous work done there even though he misses genuine Indian food and finds the combination of cold and darkness a bit difficult to take in the winter months “I will continue learning and using my know-how to help the company move forward,” says Gurudeep ABB's website uses cookies.

Learn more I agree Italian clubs have broken the world record for transfer fees 18 times in the modern era During Serie A’s golden years between 1987 and 1992 Juventus and AC Milan seemed to be in a league of their own The list of players who have been subjected to world record transfers involving Serie A clubs include luminaries like Diego Maradona In this list the name of Hans ‘Hasse’ Jeppson will be recognized by very few calcio fans It was this Swedish striker who set in motion the wheels of gregarious spending by Italian clubs when Napoli broke the bank to sign him from Atalanta Jeppson was born on 10 May 1925 in Kungsbacka He started his career with local club Kungsbacka IF before joining Gothenburg-based Orgryte IS in 1946 A curious chain of events would land him at his next club Djurgardens had been relegated from the top tier in 1948 and after season’s end the team went on a tour of Iceland Jeppson was included as part of the touring group largely due to his record of scoring 48 goals in 30 matches with Orgryte Jeppson had debuted for his country in 1949 scoring once as Sweden sealed a historic 3-1 win over star-studded England He soon got a taste of the big stage by participating in the 1950 World Cup Sweden came into the World Cup as a team to watch out for thanks to a brilliant performance in their gold-winning Olympic campaign two years before the national team had also lost a string of players including Nordahl and Nils Liedholm due to rules stating that only amateurs could represent Sweden especially focusing on Jeppson’s finishing and turning him into a more clinical striker Their first opponents in Group 3 were the defending champions Gli Azzuri were still reeling from the shock of Superga but nonetheless had a reasonably strong team and raced into a 1-0 lead after just seven minutes On the 25th minute Jeppson made it 1-1 and Sune Andersson added another goal to ensure Sweden’s lead at half-time Twenty-three minutes into the second half Jeppson scored his second a perfect poacher’s goal to seal a famous victory Although he didn’t score any after his opening game brace Jeppson played three more games in World Cup Jeppson was already an Allsvenskan star and in 1951 he would get his first chance to wow spectators of a foreign league While studying English in London he went to watch a match between Charlton Athletic and Blackpool hoping to catch a glimpse of Stanley Matthews who were deeply embroiled in relegation battle approached Jeppson to play for them and he signed up as an amateur becoming only the second Swedish player to represent an English club There are several stories as to how Jeppson ended up at the Valley one of which says that he actually wanted to join Arsenal but iconic Addicks coach Jimmy Seed intercepted him took him to lunch at Savoy’s before convincing him to join Charlton what followed was one of the most remarkable cameos ever seen Jeppson made his debut against relegation rivals Sheffield scoring an 89th-minute winner to seal vital points ‘Hasse Goldenfoot’ had never played club football outside Sweden but he showed little or no regard for the rigours of English football His debut goal was followed by crucial strikes against Liverpool Stoke City Chelsea and a brace against Wolverhampton Wanderers – ensuring Charlton’s safety His most remarkable performance in England and one of the greatest games in Charlton’s history came on 24 February 1951 Jeppson struck a fantastic hat-trick to cement a 5-2 victory over Arsenal the worst defeat the Gunners had suffered at home since 1928 With a tally of 9 goals in 11 matches despite being part time carrying an array of gifts given by supporters and the club – a dinner set He played the rest of the season for Djurgardens but would soon make the big leap and follow the path a number of his countrymen had taken already After seven rounds of matches Atalanta were in dire straits in the 1951/52 season of Serie A They were third from bottom and had already suffered the humiliation of a 7-1 drubbing by Juventus Italy was swarming with Danish and Swedish players at that time Gunnar Nordahl and Nils Liedholm at AC Milan) John Hansen (Juventus) and Lennart Skoglund (Internazionale) to lesser known names like Axel Pilmark in Bologna Jeppson was already famous in Italy thanks to his World Cup exploits and duly accepted a substantial offer of 220,000 Swedish Krona to sign for Atalanta His decision to turn professional effectively ended his international career in which he had already scored 9 times in 12 matches Jeppson yet again made a strong start for his new club A debut winner over Como on 28 October 1951 was followed by an 86th-minute winner against Sampdoria another winner at Fiorentina and an 80th-minute equalizer to rescue a point from Legnano Jeppson quickly forged a strong partnership with Danish striker Jorgen Leschly Sorensen and Jeppson continued his strong form throughout the season and regularly found the net against minnows as well as illustrious opponents like AC Milan, Fiorentina, Torino and Lazio. As the season neared its end he launched one last, valiant bid to move his name up the ladder of top scorers, notching four in a 7-1 thrashing of Triestina and three more in a 5-0 win over Torino Jeppson ended the season with 22 goals in 27 matches His was a remarkable record considering he missed the first seven rounds and every other player in the top five list came either from Juventus or the Milan giants The Swede also finished ahead of stars like Giampiero Boniperti and veteran Silvio Piola who struck ten times and helped La Dea earn a respectable mid-table finish His performance for Atalanta meant that he was once again poised for a switch Jeppson excelled during his maiden season with AtalantaAs Italy began a miraculous economic recovery following the horrors of World War II Achille Lauro became one of the most important figures in the peninsula Lauro had strong fascist connections which led to him becoming Napoli president for the first time in 1936 Post-war he became one of Naples’ premier politicians and an extremely successful businessman thanks to his shipping line Flotta Lauro ‘The Commander’ was running for the post of Naples’ mayor and knowing the incredible clout the club had over the city he decided to bankroll them to challenge for Serie A in 1952 to help his electoral campaign To strengthen the team right winger Giancarlo Vitali arrived from Fiorentina and Both Vitali and Pesaola were seasoned Serie A campaigners and would end up having long but Lauro still needed to make a star signing who had already started to attract suitors A bidding war with Inter ensued which ended when Napoli coughed up a massive 105 million lire (75 to Atalanta 30 to the player) for the player’s services He was the first player for whom a Serie A club broke the transfer record He was also the first player in continental Europe to do this – every European transfer record before this had involved British clubs He was overall only the second non-British player to break the record after Argentine Bernabe Ferreyra’s move from Tigre to River Plate in 1932 No other Swedish player has been subjected to this record since Jeppson was besotted with Naples and commented She had the smell of the sea that brought me back to childhood when I was on the rocks of Kungsbacka.” Following his record breaking move he earned a new nickname: ‘O Banco ‘e Napule’ (The Bank of Napoli) Napoli players and coach Eraldo Monzeglio struggled to cope with the pressure and were slow out of the blocks Jeppson didn’t have a smooth start as he’d had with previous clubs and couldn’t combine properly with his strike partner drawing first blood against Inter at San Siro only to see his team ship five and slump to a crushing defeat This pattern stayed unchanged in the next round when Jeppson yet again gave Napoli the lead against Lazio but a second half collapse saw them lose 2-1 The Partenopei’s title push soon lost steam and dressing room morale dipped as an increasingly irate Lauro demanded better results The star striker was also not living up to the billing of world’s most expensive player He scored against heavyweights like Juventus albeit 14 goals was a small return for his price tag Bolstered by the arrival of goalkeeper Ottavio Bugatti Napoli and Jeppson began 1953/54 with a swagger Victories over Palermo and Torino were followed by a brilliant 6-3 pounding of Atalanta the Swede scored once in each half as Napoli picked up a 4-0 win over Lazio in Rome Napoli’s campaign was yet again hamstrung by inconsistency and they eventually finished fifth this season was a personal best as he found the net 20 times finishing just behind Nordahl in the race for Capocannoniere One of his season highlights came against bitter rivals Juventus on the last day Juve took the lead twice only to see Jeppson cancel it each time with 15 minutes left on the clock John Hansen struck Juve’s decisive third goal Jeppson was blessed with most of the attributes that defined a good centre-forward in 1950s What he lacked was the tanker-like penetration of Nordahl or neat finishing of Hansen while he sometimes scored brilliant individual goals Jeppson was also known to miss easy chances he was a popular player among the Napoli faithful thanks to his good looks and natural flair a keen student of economics and a darling of Naples’ social circles His popularity saw him featured in the movie ‘Brudar och bollar eller Snurren i Neapel’ As he turned 30 and started his third season in Napoli it soon became clear that Jeppson was in decline He missed a major part of the season due to injury as Napoli slid down the table and it was rumoured that an extramarital affair had robbed him of focus helped to put both Roman clubs to the sword but could do little to prevent his team finishing sixth His Napoli contract was nearing its end and Jeppson was in talks with Inter for a switch despite being disenchanted by his record signing didn’t want to sell him and decided to give the squad a final push by signing Brazilian striker Luis Vinicio any hopes of the duo starting off on the right foot was laid to rest on 10 September 1955 allegedly returning from a meeting with Inter officials suffered a horrific accident as his Alfa Romeo crashed Napoli’s greatest winning margin at home to date where Jeppson grabbed two and Vinicio a hat-trick Jeppson and the club had fallen out of love with each other Although one of his goals ensured an away win over Juve Lauro’s grand plan of Serie A dominance had crashed and burned spectacularly with Napoli finishing 14th his numbers in Turin were pretty good: eight goals in 19 matches Jeppson duly found the net against Milan and Roma For Granata fans his greatest performance came in the Derby della Mole that season when he scored twice in an emphatic 4-1 victory his last ever Serie A goal came against Napoli Jeppson’s Serie A record of 82 goals in 151 matches was commendable even if not at the incredible levels of Nordahl or Hansen His ability to find his scoring boots against the top teams was awesome and somewhat made up for his inconsistency Somnath became an admirer of Italian football and Juventus in 1994 He has contributed to sites like In Bed With Maradona Jeppson did not have an extramarital affair in Napoli as he only married in 1957 (Emma Di

be available from February initially launching in matte-look anthracite but with new colours “What we do at IKEA has a big impact on the environment due to the large quanitites we produce so by using recycled materials we can create products which are more environmentally-friendly and sustainable.” “Our ambition at IKEA is to increase the share of recycled materials in our products so we are looking into new ways to re-use materials so that we can give them a new life in a new product.” IKEA UK & Ireland Kitchens Business Leader said: “The new KUNGSBACKA range is a start in turning everyday waste into beautiful furniture At IKEA we are very conscious of the impact of waste knowing that plastic bottles take up to 1,000 years to decompose and that 70% of all PET bottles end up in either landfill or worse in our seas and oceans 90% of waste created in the kitchen is recycled but few think about the kitchen itself we hope that the launch of this range will help people to think about the materials that are in their home furnishings and create a more sustainable home setting.” This production method is set to be a big contributor to IKEA’s sustainability agenda such as the REINSVOLL wardrobe doors which launches in August 2017 the KUNGSBACKA range has 25-year guarantee and is suitable for existing METOD cabinets Interested in more IKEA news?
