Seven reasons to love Östergötland
Östergötland, or East Sweden, is flanked by the Baltic Sea on one side, and impressive Lake Vättern on the other. It's home to cities, including Linköping and Norrköping, and a number of vibrant towns. The region has a reputation for being a haven of innovation and industry and is well connected, with two airports and short train connection times to Stockholm – just 1.5 hours from Norrköping and about two hours from Linköping. A population of 472,000 people already call East Sweden home, drawn to the area for its work-life balance, study opportunities, exciting careers and affordable living. We spoke to two of Östergötland's residents – Anna Österlund, a nature-lover who grew up in the region, and Colombian-born Hela Galvis who has lived and studied in Sweden for five years – and also got some help from East Sweden to round up seven wonders that make Östergötland so special. 1. Cities worth talking about Norrköping and Linköping are exciting cities with great nightlife, charming shopping quarters, like Knäppingsborg in Norrköping, and restaurants serving up incredible local produce (which can actually be found throughout the entire region!). 'In Norrköping there is this kind of small explosion of culture happening,' says Hela. 'You can randomly run into a concert, or a new design store that has popped up.' There are also plenty of museums, like Norrköping Art Museum for modernist lovers or The Swedish Air Force Museum in Linköping, a modern technical and cultural history museum with a unique collection of aircraft, from pioneers of the early 20th century to the present day the high-tech modern Gripen fighter, the latter actually developed and produced in Linköping. The cities host a number of annual cultural events year-round, like the three-day Kulturnatten in Norrköping, the biggest cosplay and gaming festival in the north of Europe, Närcon in Linköping, and light art festivals in both cities in wintertime. And the cultural exports from the region are significant, from Linköping's world-famous metal group Ghost to the legendary Eldkvarn from Norrköping. 'The cities in Östergötland are pretty much like any other capital city where things are available,' says Hela, adding that the difference is the less hectic pace of life. Anna agrees, 'I may love the countryside, but I don't think I'll ever want to live far away from a city … I want to always have the possibility to go to a nice restaurant or a decent theatre show and I can get everything that I want from Östergötland.' 2. Small town appeal It's not only the bigger cities of Östergötland that are wonders of the region; its towns are lively hubs too. For example, culture lovers will enjoy Vadstena, a historical town with an interesting calendar that includes annual summer operas and Shakespearean dramas. While charming Söderköping is the launching point to exploring the St. Anna archipelago and has a postcard-worthy medieval town centre, ice cream shops dotted along the Göta Kanal and a host of family-friendly events and markets throughout the year.

Nicknamed Sweden's Manchester for its industrial heritage and vibe, Norrköping is home to former textile warehouses and paper mills from the Industrial Revolution era, which are well-preserved and located on the waterfront in the city centre. The historic buildings and waterways, with their dams and waterfalls, are accessed via bridges and paths and make for a unique landscape. Both Hela and Anna highlight Industrilandskapet (The Industrial Landscape) of Norrköping and its evolution today. 'Now these closed textile factories are pulsating restaurants, museums, homes, apartments, co-working office spaces, walking routes – the area's really come to life … it's absolutely one of the coolest things to see here,' says Anna. 'There are beautiful canals to walk around in both Norrköping and Linköping,' says Hela. In the birthplace of the Göta Kanal, Motala, another transformation of a former industrial area is underway. Known as the 'cradle of industry in Sweden', the area of the old Motala Verkstad is about to change, starting with the exciting, newly renovated Lokverkstan, an event area bringing unique life, action and concerts to its historic waterfront. 4. An impressive man-made feat: Göta Kanal Speaking of Göta Kanal, this local wonder is an engineering marvel. Constructed in the early 19th century, the canal and its 58 locks runs for an incredible 190 kilometres and links to waterways that reach from Söderköping in Östergötland to Gothenburg on Sweden's west coast. From ice skating in the winter to swimming in the summer, and from cycling beside it to boating along it, there are a number of ways and places to enjoy the canal. One of Anna's favourite weekend activities, after a fika with friends and her children, is a walk by the canal. 'You can't help but to be amazed by the engineering, and that's from 200 years ago when they built it, and it's still up and running,' she says. An example of innovation: Vallastaden smart city in Linköping. Photo: Ida Gyulai / 5. A place of innovation The Östergötland region breeds creativity, innovation and growth. It's home to a broad array of innovation hotspots, including its two impressive science parks: Linköping Science Park and Norrköping Science Park. Here, research, education and entrepreneurship collide, giving birth to exciting collaborations and innovation. Advanced materials like solar cells on a roll, energy-storing paper and artificial skin are being developed in this high-tech region, where fascinating research and development is taking place and a business cluster for new materials is forming. No wonder Linköping was named European Rising Innovative City in 2023. It's a place lauded for its innovative healthcare, too, thanks to the high-quality, advanced medical care throughout the region, and the open research climate of the nationally and internationally recognised University Hospital in Linköping. As with much of Sweden, there is also a focus on the environment. The breadth of sectors in Östergötland – from companies to universities to public institutions – are working toward smart solutions, the circular economy and green resource efficiency. 'Here people work in this high-tech environment where there is in-depth knowledge and thinking but it is also very calm and there is respect for nature and people really don't want to rush,' says Hela, who praises the calmer and more respectful work-life balance she has felt since moving to Norrköping. 'If you're into that, this is your place to be!' 6. A growth region with career opportunities East Sweden can be described as a hub of ICT, tech and innovation with international cutting-edge expertise. Its strength in these fields comes from the mix of high-end research, industrial companies and exciting smaller start-ups. There are an impressive 45,000 businesses in the region including several big international companies that operate from here, like Toyota Material Handling, Siemens Energy, Ericsson, Saab and Väderstad. And there are more than 170,000 jobs in a range of different industries waiting to be snapped up. Logistics and transport is a major employer – the region has a strong infrastructure and a good logistical location. The forward-thinking nature of the region means there is an emphasis on the logistics of the future, centring on efficiency and sustainability. For students, Linköping University is one of the largest in Sweden, with almost 42,000 students and an array of course opportunities with its 135 degree programmes. And work opportunities don't only centre around Östergötland's main cities, Linköping and Norrköping. Other areas in the region are also home to companies and have a history of industry still thriving today, for example, steel in Boxhom, aluminium in Finspång, and in Mjölby, the headquarters of Toyota Material Handling.

The great outdoors We can't talk about Östergötland without mentioning its natural attractions. The Östgötaskärgården, Archipelago of Östergötland, lies off the east coast in the Baltic Sea. Made up of St. Anna, Arkösund, and the Gryt and Tjust archipelagos, it features seaside villages, lighthouses, harbours, beaches, stunning rocky outcrops and pockets of green isles – perfect for weekend boating, fishing, camping and kayaking adventures. On the other side of Östergötland is the beautiful – and huge – Lake Vättern, its eastern shores forming Östergötland's border. On the waterfront here at medieval, cobblestoned Vadstena is where St Birgitta of Sweden established her convent and order. St Birgitta's Trail is a pilgrimage route that finishes in Vadstena and traverses breathtaking Östergötland scenery, winding through verdant meadows and mystical forest for 145 kilometres to Söderköping. The equally fantastic Östgötaleden takes hikers on 1500 kilometres of trails through all 13 of the region's municipalities. So no matter where you are in the region, you can easily access and walk a marked nature trail. It's this closeness to nature that both Anna and Hela enjoy about living in the region. Marked, family-friendly walking trails, exploring lush countryside and visiting pretty lakeside spots for outdoor fika are some of the activities that fill their weekends. 'It's a place for soft adventure,' says Anna. 'There are accessible hiking trails throughout the region. It makes it really easy for us as a family, even with strollers, to get out into the woods. And even by the ocean we have really nice hiking.'

Marvel Rivals' Loki Is Like Playing Three Characters At Once
Loki is a trickster who can fill virtually any role on a Marvel Rivals team, given the right situation. Excellent at healing and dealing damage, Loki excels in confusing enemies and turning the tables, which is perfect for his role as a Strategist. Loki's Ultimate ability lets him transform into any enemy or ally for a short time, even gaining access to their Ultimate abilities, and his particular combination of tools and abilities allows you to creatively explore each game anew and find out the best ways to frustrate your foes. Mystical Missile (Primary Attack - Left Click / Right Trigger) - Your primary attack. God of Mischief (Ultimate - L3+R3) - Transforms Loki into the character he is looking at when the Ultimate is activated. He also has a fully charged Ultimate, letting you use the most powerful ability of any character being played. Double up on defensive ultimates, use a powerful offensive ultimate, then enjoy a few seconds playing as that character before reverting to Loki. Incredibly powerful and flexible, and one reason why Loki players have so much room for self-expression in how they play him. Regeneration Domain (LB) - One of the most powerful abilities in the entire game, Regeneration Domain spawns at your feet and those of each of your Doppelgangers. It reverses damage, converting it to healing, meaning it can completely negate enemy Ultimates and a wide range of attacks. Because of this, you can save an enemy across the map by spawning a Doppelganger next to them and activating the Domain. Incredibly powerful and worth more than its weight in gold. (Can game moves have mass? -Ed) Doppelganger (Right Click / RB) - The key to Loki's movement and enemy confusion. Creates a duplicate of himself which will remain immobile but imitate his actions. Because of this, it's best to stand still when trying to confuse enemies, since only the real Loki could be strafing and jumping around. Attacks from Doppelgangers still deal damage to enemies and heal allies, so you always want to have two (the maximum) Doppelgangers out. Devious Exchange (B / Circle) - Switches places with whichever Doppelganger you are looking at. A fantastic way to move around the map, avoid enemy attacks, or get closer to the action. Always keep them guessing. Backstab (R3) - Loki has a melee attack, and it (appropriately) does more damage when attacking from behind. Remind them all how much betrayal stings. Deception (LT) - Turn invisible until you turn it off. A glorious way to avoid enemies, and it creates a Doppelganger at the location where you first activated it, making it a way to jump-start your duplicitous 'shell game.' Laufeyson Reborn (Team-Up Ability: Y / Triangle) - Teaming up with Hela, Loki can be revived instantly if Hela gets a final blow while you are respawning. If you are still alive, you get Bonus Health instead. Nice bonus to playing with Hela. Loki has an incredibly high ceiling, but he is also a competent healer and damager even without optimizing your trickery. For starters, make sure you always have two Doppelgangers out when engaging in battle. The clones will fire at your targets from wherever they are, meaning you can easily triangulate, sniping from upper angles (hitting enemies over walls and other obstructions), and healing allies from great distances. Keep Regeneration Domain available, as it is (effectively) an 'I Win' ability when used against powerful offensive enemy Ultimates. If enemy Duelists are flanking you, they'll also be forced to retreat as they realize how futile their attacks are, and how formidable you and your clones are at fighting back while invincible. The only exception are enemies like Spider-Man and Winter Soldier, who have abilities that can move you. If they can push or pull you out of your healing circle, it's game over, so take them out first, or keep a teammate close. If you have an Ultimate charged, you can turn the tables by transforming into them and using it, but make sure you have learned their abilities and Ultimates and what they do, or you'll be making a quick trip to the Respawn Room. Experiment with spawning clones on top of buildings, then swapping places with them, to reach truly bizarre locations to snipe and heal from. A skilled Loki can carry their team to victory with a powerful and versatile set of skills that can adapt to nearly any situation. He also rewards creative thinking in a way few other characters can.I may be playing the God of Lies, but you can (probably) trust me. Now get there and trick them all, sowing chaos and laughing all the while. They'll wish they never crossed you. . For the latest news, Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
