Comment
This is a movie in memory of the no longer
existing clan HiGhland Online.Gävle,
starring:
Fredrik 'frenz' Jönsson
André 'djurre' Karlsson
Henrik 'Heiden' Lundberg
Jonas 'Oops!' Petersson
Hlo changed their lineup twice, so I decided
to make the movie with those who played most
time in the clan, thats why there are only 4
players in it.
The movie is very short because I almost
didnt find any hltv-demos on the internet and
I got very few ineye-demos from the
clanmembers.
I spent alot of time on the editing, trying
to create something the viewers want to see,
which I hope I did a good job on.
Thanks to...
...akidos and RiCH for betatesting, cristal
for compressing the x264 version of this
movie and to fragbite for the outropictures.

Gävle is a city in east central Sweden with
68,700 inhabitants (2005). It is the seat of
Gävle Municipality with a population of
92,416 (2006) and of Gävleborg County. It is
the oldest city in the historical Norrland
(Sweden's Northern lands), as it received its
charter in 1446 by Christopher of Bavaria.
History
It is believed that the name Gävle stems
from the word gavel, meaning river banks in
old Swedish, by the river Gavleån. The
oldest settlement was called Gavle-ägarna in
Swedish, which means Gavel-owners. This name
was eventually shortened to Gavle, then
Gefle, and finally Gävle.
For a long time Gävle consisted solely of
small, low, turf or shingle roofed, wooden
buildings. Boat-houses lined the banks of
Gavleån, Lillån, and Islandsån. Until the
1700s the town was built, as was the practice
then, around the three most important
buildings; the church, the regional palace,
and the town hall.
Over the last 300 years Gävle has been
ablaze on three different occasions. After
the fire of 1776 the town was transformed to
straight streets and rectangular city blocks.
The number of stone and brick houses also
started to increase. The biggest town fire
occurred 1869 when out of a population of
around 10,000 approximately 8,000 inhabitants
lost their homes, and about 350 farms were
destroyed. Almost the whole town north of
Gavleån was burnt down. All the buildings
south of Gavleån were saved. An area of the
old town between the museum and the library
has been preserved to this day as a reserve -
Gamla Gefle.
After the catastrophe of the fire Gävle
developed its characteristic grid plan with
large esplanades and green areas. It is now a
green town with wide avenues. Stopping the
spread of future town fires was the main idea
behind this development.
An extensive redevelopment of the central
town area was started during the 1950s.
Around 1970 Gävle became a large urban
district when it was united with the nearby
municipalities of Valbo, Hamrånge,
Hedesunda, and Hille. New suburbs like
Stigslund, Sätra, Andersberg, and Bomhus
have grown up around the central town
Gävle goat
The history of the Gävle goat began in 1966.
A man named Stig Gavlén came up with the
idea of making a giant version of the
traditional Swedish Christmas goat of straw
and placing it on (Slottstorget) Castle
Square in central Gävle. On 1 December the
13-metre tall, 7-metre long, 3 tonne goat
stood on the square. At the stroke of
midnight on New Year's Eve, the goat went up
in flames. The goat has since had a history
of being burnt almost every year, 2005 being
the 22nd time it was burnt. Burning the goat
is an illegal act and not welcomed by most
citizens of Gävle, but undoubtedly this is
what has made the goat famous. In 2006 the
goat was covered in a flame resistant coating
to prevent arson, enabling the goat to remain
standing throughout that winter.
Geography
Gävle is situated by the Baltic Sea near the
mouth of the river Dalälven. At 60 degrees
north and 17 degrees east, Gävle has the
same latitude as Helsinki and the same
longitude as Vienna and Cape Town.
Gävle has a similar climate to the rest of
central Sweden with an average temperature of
−5 °C (21 °F) in January and +17 °C (63
°F) in July. Yearly rainfall is around 600
mm (24 in).
Economy
Trade from the port of Gävle increased
markedly during the 1400s when copper and
iron began to be exported from the port. In
order to ensure that all trade was via
Stockholm, sailing to foreign ports from
Gävle and a few other ports was forbidden.
During the 1500s, Gävle was one of the most
important port and merchant towns with many
shipping companies and shipyards.
In 1787 Gävle was awarded "free and
unrestricted sailing rights" to and from
foreign ports. This led to an increase in
trade, which in turn lead to an increase in
buildings, industrial developments, trade and
shipping.
Today there are few shipping companies or
shipyards left, but an important port
remains. It has over 1000 ships calling per
annum and is among the top ten common ports
in Sweden.
