För lĂ€nge, lĂ€nge sedan utbildade jag mig till telereparatör, ni vet sĂ„dana dĂ€r som kopplade telefonledningar och kunde reparera lĂ„gspĂ€nningsapparater som telefoner, tv-apparater och sĂ„dant.

En vecka i Lycke - mÄndag
Veckan kunde inte ha börjat bÀttre Àn med en bÄttur till Askersund för att köpa glass. Livets första kula för Caesar! Dagen gjorde stora avtryck pÄ honom dÄ han en mÄnad senare fortfarande pratar om hur vi Äkte bÄt för att köpa glass 𫶠En tur till skogen med svampkorgen hann vi ocksÄ med. MÄndag 29 juli 2024.

Rastplats Stora Hammarsundet
PĂ„ riksvĂ€g 50 som gĂ„r mellan Askersund och Motala passerar man den fina bron över Stora Hammarsundet. HĂ€r cyklade man tidigare VĂ€tternrundan och den nĂ€st sista depĂ„n innan mĂ„let i Motala.

China's new metal threat stresses EU: "Critical"
In Lundin Mining's zinc mine, there are minor findings of the critical elements gallium and germanium.
Two small metals of which few have heard, have suddenly become part of a big political game as China restricts exports.
âThis can mean problems for many companiesâ, says Jörgen Kennemar at Swedbank[1]. It sounds like something out of Asterix and Obelix, and if you're reading this on your phone, you're probably holding both germanium[2] and gallium[3] right now. The two elements are used in everything from screens to LED lights, semiconductors, car batteries and solar panels. âThere are lots of uses for them. They are everywhere but they are not visibleâ, says Kaj Lax, head of the Swedish Geological Survey's (SGU)[4] department for mineral resources. They are classified by the EU as critical. But the mining of it is minimal in Europe.
A moment of concern
Instead, China accounts for a majority of all production globally, for 97 percent of gallium and 64 percent of germanium, according to a report from Nordic Innovation, which is an organization under the Nordic Council of Ministers. Starting on August 1, China has decided to severely limit exports of the two commodities. âIt is not good for our industryâ, says Kaj Lax.
Jörgen Kennemar, commodity analyst at Swedbank, calls the decision "a moment of concern". âThis could mean problems for many companies, although it is too early to draw too high consequences from it. On the other hand, it shows the vulnerability that exists in the trade in these raw materialsâ, he says.
Within the EU, feverish efforts are underway to become less dependent on China when it comes to various critical raw materials, such as rare earth metals. In a bill from last spring, among other things, an updated list of critical substances and shorter permit processes for their extraction, handling and recycling are proposed. âThese are raw materials that are central to the green transition. They are needed in everything from wind turbines to electric cars. It is important to have a safe delivery flow and not to sit in China's lapâ, says Jörgen Kennemar.
Dependent on trade
While similar threats have come from China in the past, it's more of an eye-opener, especially for Europe, this time, according to Kennemar. âIt is a means of pressure from China and the situation in the world makes it a little more awkward, and maybe also serious, this time. At the same time, China is also dependent on trade with the outside world and cannot completely isolate itself. There is a lot of politics in thisâ, he says.
According to Kaj Lax, most of the critical substances on the EU's list are already in European bedrock. The fact that they are not mined has often been a question of profitability. In Sweden there are several deposits of rare earth metals. Both germanium and gallium are also likely to be found here. But according to Kaj Lax, the interest in looking for them has not been that great. âMost often they can be found together with zinc in zinc ores, but it is not something that has been tested that closely. But we think there is a small potential.â
Small sensitive metals
Deposits have been found in Lundin Mining's zinc mine, Zinkgruvan Mining[5], in Askersund municipality[6]. In a survey conducted in 2016, however, they were judged to be too small for it to be worthwhile to begin any extraction. According to the mine's spokesperson, it is still not relevant because it concerns "incredibly small" assets.
The answer does not surprise Kaj Lax. âGetting a process started for a mine takes several years, and a process to extract in an existing mine can take almost as longâ, he says and continues: âThese are small metals that are sensitive to overproduction. If too much is produced, there is no profitability.â
Facts
This is germanium and gallium:
Germanium: Used in, among other things, semiconductors, fibre optics and solar cells. Only 12 percent of the world's germanium is mined outside China or Russia, with China accounting for the majority. In 2020, the total global production of germanium was 130 tonnes.
Gallium: Gallium is mined only as a by-product and is therefore considered a critical commodity by the EU, although the substance itself is not uncommon. Needed for, among other things, semiconductors in industry. A total of 300 tons are produced per year, and China accounts for 97 percent of that.

[2] Germanium is a chemical element with the symbol Ge and atomic number 32. It is lustrous, hard-brittle, grayish-white and similar in appearance to silicon. It is a metalloid in the carbon group that is chemically similar to its group neighbours silicon and tin. Like silicon, germanium naturally reacts and forms complexes with oxygen in nature.
[3] Gallium is a chemical element with the symbol Ga and atomic number 31. Discovered by the French chemist Paul-Ămile Lecoq de Boisbaudran in 1875, gallium is in group 13 of the periodic table and is similar to the other metals of the group (aluminium, indium, and thallium).

The Road to Skyllberg
The Road to Skyllberg
Elsewhere: A Journal of Place, April 26, 2020
I can picture the house where we stayed, my grandmotherâs house. Painted yellow and white with steps up to the door, and a balcony above. Walking up the steps and opening the front door, the smell of wood and paint. Inside the feel of wooden floors warm and solid under my feet. The kitchen with its green painted wooden cupboards, like being in aâŠ

Chevrolet meet in Askersund
I went to town with my youngest son for some shopping and a photo walk. It happened to be a club meet for Chevrolet owners. This yellow one was caught on many images.#vintage_cars #infrared_photography #visit_askersund @Visitaskersund #infrared_world #car
The other day I went to town with my youngest son for some shopping and a photo walk. Askersund is a cozy little town with many of the old wooden bulidings left and some new wooden buildings added. There are more âmodernâ dwellings to around the center but central town has its own charm. I will post images later because it happened to be a club meet for Chevrolet owners that we could try ourâŠ
