structural change in the industrial composition and economic milieu in the respective geography We know from the earlier research in the field of urban and regional economics that accessibility to a place and connectivity between places bring about a wide range of economic benefits Accessibility to a place is particularly important for services which are generally produced and consumed at the same place One important branch of the service sector is the hotel sector with its high dependence on “high access” Hotels either provide accommodation to those that are at a place for a certain purpose (e.g or provide passengers and transportation professionals on a certain route with an overnight stay option The maps in Figure-1 are made for a research project on Swedish Hospitality Clusters in Sweden financed by BFUF (Besöksnäringens Forsknings –och Utvecklingsfond) They show the concentration of hotels across Sweden Parts of the country with a significantly greater concentration of hotels “light up” in the maps The three maps represent hotels with respect to their size in terms of number of employees One can immediately notice that the large hotels are accommodated by large metropolitan markets whereas relatively smaller hotels fill the geographical gap between such large and important destinations namely Stockholm The concentration of small hotels appears on the route between Stockholm and Gothenburg filling the geographical gap between these large and attractive markets That is in line with what we call a “spatial continuum” in the field of urban and regional economics The role of smaller hotels in the sector seems to differ from those large ones that serves for mostly tourists in large and attractive markets Route 40 Ulricehamn has been expanded into a highway in a new alignment (Figure 2) The entire route between Gothenburg and Ulricehamn now consists of a highway  As can be seen in the snapshot in Figure 3 from Google Maps there are three suggested alternative routes between Stockholm and Gothenburg were competitive for passengers of different kinds Passengers were likely to select either of these routes depending the mean of transportation and time (for example the preferences of individual passengers likely differs from logistics companies that are carrying goods across countries Likewise a particular route is congested more during certain days and therefore less preferable) Now with väg40 serving as a highway the whole route it will certainly increase the number of people travelling on this route The question then is whether such shift in the number of passengers will imply a significant change in the landscape of the hotel branch Will we see an increased development of small hotels along väg 40 and a sizable decline in the number of small hotels along alternative routes Perhaps the new development will trigger a wider distribution of the sector across space and increase the availability of the hotel branch between the Stockholm and Gothenburg metropolitan markets Figure 2: New highway route 40 (väg 40) in dark orange north of old route 40 in lighter orange Figure 3: Alternative routes between

all did you guys go last season filming it We started at the same snowboard school in Norway when we were 15 We are both swedish so we decided to live together I only went to that school for a year and then when Tor was done with school we moved back together in Gothenburg Where was your favorite session this season Probably the sunset shoot we had with Nike up in Montafon and the sunset looked epic with the mountains in the background When we were done the cats had to take us to the top of the mountain then we had to ride all the way down in total dark which was kinda scary Frontside 1080 nose grab in powder because I never landed it When did your season start/end for you this year It started in Australia in August and it ended at Mt Party: Our intro shoot was a pretty good one haha What's in store for BYND X MDLS this coming season We gonna go to some cool new places and try to do some cool new shit :) Human remains as old as 10,000 years ago come alive in hyper-realistic recreations Within his studio in the Stockholm suburban community of Tumba archaeologist-sculptor Oscar Nilsson is applying a highly specialized knowledge and set of skills to reconstruct realistic and scientifically-informed likenesses of individuals who lived long before us His work, unlike more ‘sensational’ archaeological and paleoanthropological discoveries reported in the press such as the identification of the bones of King Richard III and the more recent discovery of Homo naledi, do not make headlines But he makes both written and unwritten history an up-close-and-personal experience for academics and the public alike One of his upcoming projects involves the reconstruction of the face of a Stone Age man whose remains were unearthed near Ulricehamn “Judging from his bones he was extremely robust with very broad shoulders,” said Nilsson.“And the skull of this 45-60-year-old man exhibits a significant elevated ridge running from his forehead to the back of his head These well-preserved bones surprised everyone when the result of the C14 dating came back: he was 10,000 years old and Sweden’s oldest skeleton.” Archaeologists have named him “Bredgården Man” His skeletal remains were found near a farmhouse by the same name “To recover the girl’s remains and those of the child as the bones were submerged 300 meters offshore to a depth of 3 – 4.5 meters,” said Nilsson when there was a greater abundance of inland ice in Scandinavia and the sea level was lower.” The Stone Age girl reconstruction will join other objects of the Tybrind Vig discoveries at Denmark’s Moesgård Museum most of Nilsson’s hyper-realistic reconstructions end up in museums such as the Moesgård gain a more personal connection to history “History is made of actual people,” he says “Making a facial reconstruction is like opening a window to the past an opportunity to see what the people from history really looked like So the face tells a direct story to the beholder establishing an emotional and personal connection that text or written records can never accomplish.” One of Nilsson’s Stone Age period subjects already graces an exhibit space at the Stonehenge Visitor Center near Salisbury It is the reconstructed face of an early Neolithic man excavated in 1863 from a long barrow at Winterbourne Stoke Radiocarbon dated to between 3630 and 3660 BCE analysis of his remains showed the man to be 25-40 years old with a slender build He lived about 500 years before the circular ditch and banks were even built. Further analysis of his remains and the circumstances of his later Neolithic reburial indicated that he was a person of importance or high status His connection to the Stonehenge culture is unknown but it is clear that he was an elite member of a people who lived hundreds of years before the great monumental stones of Stonehenge were raised Nilsson creates his pieces using 3-D models of the original skulls of his subjects developing models by applying non-drying plasticine clay to recreate the muscles and tissues using traditional sculpting tools and then applying the finishing work on Acrystal molds of his resulting models Nilsson obtains information about the times and places in which the persons lived the contexts and circumstances of the original skeletal finds and detailed findings from the examining osteologists and forensic experts about the skulls of the individuals excavated or exhumed in addition to being astonishingly realistic provide three dimensional likenesses of the individuals something that cannot be realized even by typical artist depictions through two dimensional paintings ________________________________________________________________  Above: Nilsson puts the finishing touches on the reconstructed face of the ‘Stonehenge Man’ Explains Nilsson about the subject: “The grave was discovered in the late 19th century but the bones were recently the subject of extensive analysis and surveys Some of the results from those analyses are amazing: He was born around 5,500 years ago well to the west or north west of the Stonehenge area At 2 years old he moved to the area near Stonehenge and aged 9 he moved back to the west again As he grew older his frequency of travel back and forth between those two places increased By analyzing the successive layers of the enamel in his teeth isotopic values of strontium and oxygen reflected the sources of his drinking water He lived some time before the famous stone circle was built the mound of his grave was massively enlarged one of the grandest known from Neolithic Britain. We also know from the analysis that he had a much higher percentage of meat and dairy products in his diet than would probably have been normal at the time And he was taller than the average Neolithic man—172 cm compared to the average height this was clearly a person of high status in his society.” Photo by Clare Kendall/English

treat (Any reason is a good reason for a semla!)  Anna Bringle was born and raised in the small Swedish town of Ulricehamn There she had time on her hands to develop her hobbies of baking She won over so many of her friends and family with her sweet baked goods even bringing it to the United States with her operations of a Boras-based Swedish company .. and what was to be a 2-year stint in Atlanta In that time Anna passed the American exams to become an emergency room nurse The stressful demands of that is what keeps her coming back to her true love 1/2 cup Swedish White syrup (1 dl) or regular sugar Blend dried yeast with sifted flour (save approximately 1 cup for later when kneading the dough) add milk and warm it to 104˚F (40˚C) use a thermometer to get exactly right temperature Add the dry ingredients to the warm liquid either by hand or by using a food processor to a shiny and smooth dough Let the dough rise under towel for about approximately 30 min Put the dough on the table and knead it well with your hands Add a little bit of the additional flour and baking powder at the time and knead to a soft Important to not add too much then the buns easily end up dry Form into 16 balls (or 28-30 if you like smaller semlor) and place onto greased baking sheets Cover with a kitchen towel and rise for 30 minutes Bake in oven about 15 minutes or until golden brown 2 cups almond flour - either blanch and grind the almonds yourself or buy almond meal (4.8 dl) Place the almond (flour) and powdered sugar in a food processor and pulse until combined and any lumps are broken up Add the egg white and process until a thick dough is formed Turn the almond marzipan out onto a work surface and knead it a few times cut a lid about 1/2 inch thick off the top of the bun and set aside (Optional: After the lids are cut off each baked bun use a heart-shaped cookie cutter to shape the lids.) Add additional milk if needed until the marzipan filling is nearly as soft as pudding Whip cream with vanilla sugar to stiff peaks Fill each shell with a spoonful of marzipan filling Pipe whipped cream on top of the filling to 1/2 inch over the top of the bun and dust with confectioner's sugar before serving Find more about Swedish Dreamish at facebook.com/swedishdreamish instagram.com/swedishdreamish as well as pinterest and Tumblr Receive our weekly Newsletterand set tailored daily news alerts IRO AB introduced a range of new Industry 4.0-ready weft yarn feeding and tension control innovations for weaving looms at the recent ITMA 2019 Clothing/​Footwear IRO AB Sales and Marketing Manager Pär Hedman at ITMA 2019 Following significant investment in the R&D capabilities at its base in Ulricehamn IRO AB introduced a range of new Industry 4.0-ready weft yarn feeding and tension control innovations for weaving looms at the recent ITMA 2019 in Barcelona has been the market leader in this field for many decades supplying systems to the majority of the leading weaving machine manufacturers as well as advanced new products for retrofitting to working mills around the world IRO AB Chrono X3 units in operation at Picanol’s ITMA 2019 stand “The response to these new innovations at ITMA 2019 was much better than we expected particularly since overall business in the weaving sector is currently going through a downturn,” said IRO AB Sales and Marketing Manager Pär Hedman “We are now anticipating a pick-up in business as a result of the interest in our new products that was shown in Barcelona.” The new Blue11 EasySet airjet feeder for the latest Picanol OMNIPlus Summum airjet weaving machines allows the pick length of weft yarns to be set in millimetres from the loom panel at the start-up of a new style and to be fully adjusted while the machine is running Automatic calculations and synchronisation between the spool body and the oscillating fingers of the Blue 11 are said to result in reduced and simplified settings on the weaving machine IRO AB XD X3 weft insertion systems at the ITMA 2019 stand of Itema is now an integral part of the Chrono X3 weft feeder and is currently available for use on Picanol OptiMax-i rapier machines Allowing reproducible and transferable settings for complete weft insertion cycles it is equipped with an integrated electromagnet controlling a specially developed and self-cleaning flex brake which ensures the correct tension at all times the constantly regulating new ATC-W unit has been designed for use with Luna X3 It automatically maintains consistent yarn tension at a pre-determined level unaffected by variable external factors such as bobbin size or yarn quality IRO Luna X3 systems powering a Jakob Müller needle loom at ITMA 2019 the TED is a new tension display unit that allows weft tension settings to be easily transferred from one machine to another while the Wi-Feeder is a wireless access point for mobile phones tablets and PCs allowing remote access to X3 feeders The Wi-Feeder is a useful tool for troubleshooting and maintenance providing easy access to key data during the weaving process The Super Elf S3 weft feeder for air and water-jet looms benefits from the latest optical sensor technology based on the principle of “signal reflection” for reliable reading of very fine yarns down to 7 denier It ensures accurate measurement of the weft insertion length with a double check sensor for both Z and S winding directions Real time control of the yarn take-off point by a reserve sensor ensures the yarn flight time is as fast and consistent as possible www.iroab.com 2014The Hiroshiges Regnskyar mural.Save this storySaveSave this storySaveThe Swedish wall-covering firm Sandberg affectionately refers to itself as the world’s slowest wallpaper factory Each pattern is drawn by hand in the company’s design studio before being printed in its factory in Ulricehamn Now Sandberg is taking a leap into modern production with the introduction of its digitally printed Arkiv collection which features a variety of large-scale murals and architectural patterns But the company remains true to its love of history and craftsmanship and the Arkiv range is enriched with never-before-produced patterns and artwork found throughout the cultural archives of Sweden Click through to see a few of our favorites.

and they don't want to eat it "We're here to learn so we should at least get good food," he says "Another thing is that they've come up with all sorts of weird combinations Suddenly they started serving pasta and fish together it's just not very good,” Wessbrod insists But officials at the city of Ulricehamn don’t quite agree tells Swedish Radio that she has also heard positive reactions to the new dietary regime in local schools "We evaluate dishes on a daily basis," says Johansson whose staff eat at municipality-run canteens every day to try the meals out "We get rid of the dishes that don't work," she says Johansson says she can't just listen to the unhappy pupils who don't like their school meals Others are pleased with the new food regime and they have to be listened to as well But Wessbrod and his friends are taking their food protest a step further by sending a letter to a higher authority within the municipality The pupils are demanding better food combinations -
