Das ineinander stapelbare Tafelservice Die Kugel  (La Boule, Sphere) wurde 1971 von Helen von Boch (1938–2007) gemeinsam mit dem italienischen Keramiker Federigo Fabbrini (1928–2007) für die Porzellanmanufaktur Villeroy & Boch entworfen. Es wurde ab 1972 zunächst in zwei Farbstellungen produziert; später wurden limitierte Auflagen in Sonderfarben und Künstler-Designs entworfen. 2020 wurde das Service in sechs Dekorvarianten neu aufgelegt.

Beschreibung
Das Tafelservice für vier Personen aus 19 Einzelteilen wurde als erstes Service der Serie Avantgarde auf den Markt gebracht. Die Avantgarde-Serie, die Anfang der 1970er Jahre in den Markt eingeführt wurde, sollte einen modernen Gegenentwurf zu den traditionellen Fayence- und Steingutservices der Firma Villeroy & Boch markieren und sich auch an jüngere Käuferschichten richten.

Das 19-teilige Steingutservice Die Kugel besteht aus vier flachen Tellern, vier tiefen Tellern, vier Kompottschälchen, Terrine mit Deckel, einer Servierplatte und einer Gemüse- und Salatschüssel und lässt sich zu einer Kugel mit integriertem Henkel von 28 cm Durchmesser zusammensetzen.

Das Service wurde zunächst in den Farbstellungen grün-gelb-orange und braun-weiß-cognac produziert. 2020 wurde eine Neuauflage des Services  in den Farbstellungen Iconic Black, Iconic White, Iconic Black and White, Icon Stripe sowie in den farbigen Dekoren Iconic Memphis und Toy's Delight La Boule auf den Markt gebracht.

Für das Produktdesign des Geschirrs wurde Helen von Boch 1972 mit dem IF-Produkt-Design-Award ausgezeichnet.

Im Jahr 1998 erschien eine limitierte Jubiläumsauflage der Kugel in weiß glasiertem Steingut mit einem schwarzen Dekor von Rosemarie Benedikt. Darüber hinaus wurde ein auf 250 Stück limitiertes, ursprünglich speziell als Messemuster gefertigtes, indigofarbenes Service hergestellt, das heute unter anderem im Musée National d'Histoire et d'Art in Luxemburg ausgestellt wird.

Als Pendant zum Tafelservice für den Outdoor-Einsatz wurde von Villeroy & Boch das Picknick-Geschirr La Bomba aus Melamin entworfen, wobei das Geschirr mit einem Besteck ergänzt wurde und in einem Transportnetz aufbewahrt wird.

Rezeption
Das Tafelservice wird heute als Designobjekt in verschiedenen Museen, unter anderem im Museum of Modern Art in New York,  Dallas Museum of Art, im Musée des Arts décoratifs in Paris und im Grassi Museum für Angewandte Kunst in Leipzig gezeigt und erreicht auf internationalen Kunstauktionen Preise von etwa 700 Euro; limitierte Editionen entsprechend ein Vielfaches.

Im Jahr 2015 wurde das Service in grün-gelb-oranger Farbstellung im Museum für Angewandte Kunst Köln während der Sonderausstellung SYSTEM DESIGN. Über 100 Jahre Chaos im Alltag gezeigt.  Das Geschirrservice wurde 2015 ebenfalls in der Sonderausstellung Die kreativen Bochs – Zehn Generationen künstlerische Begabung in mehreren Städten in Deutschland und in Luxemburg gezeigt.

What are the air bags, again?
Air bags (sometimes called "air bladders") fit into the coil springs that come with your vehicle, which was designed for a smooth ride in the absence of a heavy load. As soon as you add weight to your ride, however, the factory-made springs don't do a whole lot to stabilize and control your journey. That's why you might consider Air Lift 1000 air bags as a solution. With a simple installation and great results, why wouldn't you go for it?
Wait, so…how exactly are these different from sleeve-style or bellows-style air springs?
Sleeve-style and bellows-style air springs bolt onto the frame of your vehicle, and act separately from the factory suspension. Air bags, on the other hand, fit into your factory coil springs and work both with and against them to help you achieve maximum ride comfort and handling capacity. As you add load weight, the coil spring naturally crushes down so that the coils are closer together. As the coil spring reacts to the weight of your load, the air bags react to the coil springs and give them a little extra support by expanding outward to fill the space between the individual coils.
You know that space between each coil ring on a spring? That space is called "pitch." If that doesn't make sense, imagine a Slinky sitting on a tabletop. The coil rings are all resting on each other, with no space in between them. In other words, the pitch is non-existent. If you grabbed one end of the Slinky and ran away from someone who's holding the other end, the pitch is increasing—since the coil rings are stretching further and further away from each other.
When the pitch decreases with regard to the coil springs on your vehicle, that's when you need air bags to help you out. The air bags' job is to get in the way of those coils by taking the place of the pitch, or the empty space; it fills in the spaces and doesn't let your vehicle bow down as much as it would without that extra support.

Vega EVX – elektryczny supersamochód klasy średniej produkowany pod lankijską marką Vega w 2020 roku.

Historia i opis modelu

W sierpniu 2019 roku przedsiębiorstwo Vega Innovations ze Sri Lanki przedstawiło pierwsze informacje na temat swojego pierwszego, produkcyjnego pojazdu po trwającym 5 lat procesie produkcyjnym. Samochód zachował charakterystyczne dla supersamochodu proporcje, charakteryzując się szeroką, smukłą sylwetką z wybrzuszeniem w przedniej części nadwozia, a także licznych przetłoczeniach i wyraźnie zarysowanych nadkolach. Oficjalna prezentacja pojazdu odbyła się podczas zamkniętej konferencji w Genewie w Szwajcarii w marcu 2020 roku.

Sprzedaż
Vega planowało uruchomić seryjną produkcję EVX w 2022 roku, planując zbudować na Sri Lance limitowaną pulę ręcznie składanych 25 egzemplarzy.

Dane techniczne
Pierwotnie producent zakładał, że jego supersamochód będzie rozwijać ok. 900 KM mocy, jednak ostatecznie nie udało się spełnić tego założenia. Układ elektryczny Vegi EVX tworzą dwa silniki rozwijające łączną moc 402 KM. Ważący 480 kilogramów zestaw 40 kWh baterii składa się z 12 modułów i zapewnia zasięg na jednym ładowaniu do 250 kilometrów.

Q: Can somebody explain the -R option for userdel command? Can somebody explain the -R option for userdel command? I couldn't understand its description in the man page. I know what the chroot command is but I can't understand how is it related to userdel.

A: Some userdel versions have this option:
 -R, --root CHROOT_DIR
     Apply changes in the CHROOT_DIR directory and use the
     configuration files from the CHROOT_DIR directory.

In other words, instead of editing /etc/passwd and friends,
you're editing CHROOT_DIR/etc/passwd.
For example, you might boot a live CD, mount the hard drive as /mnt,
and then use -R /mnt to edit its users.

On iOS devices (iPhone, iPad), you only need to include the meta viewport tag for it to initially load properly. But if you rotate the device after loading, it will resize and be slightly too zoomed in. The code below fixes this.


Fruitcast will take your feed, tack on some ads and serve it out to your listeners. Here's how it works. I'm guessing that for now ads are going to be pretty inexpensive – might be a good time to get in with some broad distribution.

The Latest: Oklahoma reserve out vs. VCU amid family death
The Latest on the fourth full day of the men's NCAA Tournament, including games being played in New York; St. Louis; Oklahoma City and Spokane, Washington. Women's NCAA Tournament games are being played in Syracuse, New York; Louisville, Kentucky; Columbia, South Carolina; Starkville, Mississippi; Waco, Texas; Tempe, Arizona; and Corvallis, Oregon (All times EDT):
Oklahoma backup center Akolda Manyang won't be available for the second-round game against VCU because of a death in the family.
A team spokesman says Manyang flew back to Minnesota on Sunday morning.
Manyang, a 7-foot junior, averages 2.5 points and 1.4 blocks in 8.0 minutes per game for the Sooners.
- Cliff Brunt reporting from Oklahoma City.
Thomas Walkup of Stephen F. Austin was called for his third foul with 17:53 left in the second half and Notre Dame up 46-43.
Walkup stayed in the game and hit a jumper moments later to tie it at 47.
- Ralph Russo reporting from New York.
Credit to Stephen F. Austin for being able to play two very different styles and have success in their first two NCAA Tournament games.
The Lumberjacks are down 42-41 to Notre Dame at the half in a game with both teams shooting over 50 percent. The Lumberjacks beat West Virginia in the first round with both teams shooting under 31 percent.
Thomas Walkup has eight points for the Lumberjacks.
Notre Dame's V.J. Beachem, who was 7 for 7 against Michigan in the first round, made his first two against Stephen F. Austin before finally missing. But he converted a four-point play to give Notre Dame a 34-32 lead with 2:40 left in the first half.
- Ralph Russo reporting from Brooklyn.
Stephen F. Austin's second-round NCAA Tournament game is being played very differently from the first. Notre Dame's offense is handling the Lumberjacks' half-court pressure defense far better than West Virginia did.
The Lumberjacks are playing far more efficiently on the offensive end, too, and have an 18-16 lead with 10:54 left. Thomas Walkup has four points, two rebounds and two assists for SFA.
Villanova is cruising toward its first Sweet 16 appearance since 2009.
Jay Wright is starting to clear the bench at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn. The Wildcats are up 20 on Iowa with about 2 minutes to go in the second half.
Next up will be Miami on Thursday in Louisville, Kentucky.
How do you erase the memories of some awful recent second-round flops? Play the first half that Villanova just did against Iowa.
The Wildcats tore apart the Hawkeyes and lead 54-29 at the break. Villanova shot 60 percent from the floor, scored 12 points off eight turnovers and outrebounded Iowa 19-12.
The only way it could have been worse for Iowa is if the Stanford band played at halftime.
The bars and pubs around the Barclays Center in Brooklyn are loaded with Villanova fans, getting revved up for the Wildcats' second-round game against Iowa.
Coach Jay Wright's team has stumbled at this point the last two seasons as a high seed.
If the Wildcats do advance, they won't get the home games they hoped for in Philadelphia next week. Villanova was placed in the South region instead of the East region. So the winner of Wildcats-Hawkeyes is headed to Louisville.
Women's NCAA Tournament officials in Syracuse say the same scoring crew that mistakenly provided Florida an extra point in the Gators' 61-59 loss to Albany on Friday will be working the second-round game between 12th-seeded Albany and fourth-seeded Syracuse on Sunday.
Sue Edson, Syracuse's executive senior associate athletic director and chief communications officer, confirms the crew will remain unchanged. But, she adds, ''I'll be counting.''
The Gators were awarded an extra point when the official scorer credited January Miller with making a free throw to complete a three-point play in the second quarter. The score stood with Florida having 59 points, even though the box score showed the Gators with 58 because the official scorer was unable to resolve the discrepancy before the game ended.

Saudi Telecom Company (STC) and Cisco have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to collaborate on the development of 5G.
The joint effort aims to facilitate STC's transformation into a digital service provider, and supports the pivotal role it plays in enabling Saudi Arabia's 2030 Vision and National Transformation Plan.
Under the terms of the MoU, Cisco intends to work closely with STC on its architectural transformation to help unlock the commercial potential of 5G mobile networks. This will enable STC to provision advanced network services, such as low-latency, and differentiate its service delivery in the 5G era.
"We are excited about the next phase of our evolution which will pave the way for massive innovation and give rise to a new breed of services that benefit the Saudi economy," said Nasser Al-Nasser, Chief Operating Officer, STC. "Our new 5G network architecture will enable us to make the next leap forward by delivering inclusive broadband that transforms how people use technology in their daily lives. We look forward to working closely with Cisco to develop a future-ready network that delivers advanced capabilities to help us address increasing customer demands and new service trends."
The transition to 5G is fundamental for STC's vision, as it forms the foundation for future solutions, including smart city, IoT and other vertical services. Virtualisation and network automation will play a prominent role in the service provider's strategic blueprint, creating the scalable network that supports the creation of new services in the fastest and most agile way possible.
"As businesses increasingly digitise, mobile carriers will need the speed, low latency, reliability and dynamic provisioning capabilities that 5G networks are expected to deliver," said Ali Amer, Managing Director, Global Service Provider Sales, Cisco Middle East and Africa. "Our collaboration with STC will enable their network infrastructure to evolve into the new era of digitisation by taking advantage of the 5G momentum."
The two companies will also work on developing use cases that accelerate the deployment of new enterprise and industry 5G services. Another key element of the collaboration aims to address the security needs of the 5G era by building a framework for threat intelligence that underpins STC's prevention, detection and mitigation efforts.

Xiaomi has launched its new unit of Wearable App 2.0 in a completely new formation. This will enable access to sports, tracing real-time values, and manage data besides a myriad amount of other works.
This has been launched on October 29 and for now, will only be accessible on Android and not on iOS, for which the users have to wait.
Xiaomi ha...
The app will show the calories, steps, and exercise records, and can monitor sleep from the Home page. The exercises can also be done without any connection with the devices concerned. The readings of exercise, heart rate for Xiaomi's Mi Band 5, or Mi Band 5 NFC version can be done now using this device.
The health journey of an individual user has been taken care of well by the app where individual plans will be accessible by the user. There will also be a facility for multi-user management which will allow better access.
With the launch of the new app, Xiaomi will be able to organize its devices and functions on those incidents in a better way. With time, the company is sure to extend the facility to a wider set of devices for more efficient control thereby allowing a greater user base.
We have to wait to see what more additions will be made available in this by the tech giant.

A treat from the desk of Victoria Madden at Moulders Lane. In my imagination, this is a perfect writing haven, and Victoria is sound on Wodehouse too. Enjoy!
I recently found a series of fascinating interviews in The Paris Review, with half a century of famous writers discussing How They Wrote: a treasure trove of advice and inspiration for the aspiring author. The one that most struck a chord, though, was the interview with our beloved Plum in 1975 by Gerald Clarke.


Relationships and couples intimacy plays an important part in our lives and often is a major factor in our level of happiness. It's a subject we've all struggled with from time to time.
A common question I get asked is 'How do I find my purpose?' The question itself implies your purpose is somewhere to be 'found', as if it's been hiding under a rock somewhere waiting for you to one day discover it!


Do you need a new or duplicate key for your car? Well, we sure did when we purchased our new car once arriving on island. The key we received was in dire need of being replaced. When going about the process to get a new key, the first recommendation we received was to go to Makeman Hardware to see if they could make a copy. When we went to the key counter in the store, we were told that they cannot make the "electronic" type of key we were looking at replacing. The car that we purchased was a Toyota Progress and when you insert the key into the ignition the steering wheel adjusts to the driver's settings. We did not know this was something unique to our Progress.
Thankfully, the employee at Makeman handed me a piece of paper with a map on it to a key store in Ginowan. Key Box is located just past the Round 1 off of the 58 Bypass. I was able to find it relatively easily with help from the map.
Once I arrived at the store I was approached by a young lady. She took one look at my key and it was obvious that it needed to be replaced. She took the key into the back and once she returned she had a spare key option and told me it would be 5000¥ to replace it. This key did not have a replacement for the auto lock/unlock, just the key that starts and locks/unlocks the car manually.
I waited for the key to be made and once it was done she came back out and motioned that she wanted me to test it out on the car. After unlocking, locking, starting, and then stopping the car I came back in and said that it worked just fine. She took the key back, made a few finishing touches, and then brought it back out. I paid for the key and off I went with a new key for our car. Thankfully one that will not fall apart at any moment!
They also make standard copies of car keys starting at 3000¥. In the store's little lobby they also sell various locks, key chains, and accessories. For a copy of Toyota Progress key it was 5000¥.
Directions: From Foster Commissary Gate turn left heading south onto 58. Take an immediate right at the first light to get onto the 58 Bypass or Convention center road. Follow the bypass until you pass the Round 1 on your left. Take a left at the light right after Round 1 and before the new shopping center. Follow that road until you hit the next major intersection with a light. There will be a Lawson store on the right. Turn right at this intersection and proceed about 1/8 mile and Key Box will be on your left.
Does anyone know if they can make a key without a copy?
We just got some keys made here today. We got regular non-fancy keys and they were only 400¥ each.

Q: query function returning value as nil in om.next I am currently trying to learn om.next.
This is the code that I have:
(ns hlearn.core
  (:require [goog.dom :as gdom]
            [om.next :as om :refer-macros [defui]]
            [om.dom :as dom]
            [sablono.core :as html :refer-macros [html]]))

(enable-console-print!)

(def app-data
  (atom {:user ""
         :main-menu {:selected :home}}))

;; -------------------------------------------------------------------------
;; Parsing

(defmulti read om/dispatch)

(defmethod read :selected
  [{:keys [state]} _ _]
  {:value (get-in @state [:main-menu :selected])})

;; -------------------------------------------------------------------------
;; Components

(defui MainMenu
  static om/IQuery
  (query [this]
         [:selected])
  Object
  (render [this]
          (let [{:keys [selected]} (om/props this)]
            (println (= selected :home)))))

(def main-menu (om/factory MainMenu))

(defui RootView
  Object
  (render [this]
    (println "Render RootView")
    (main-menu)))

(def reconciler
  (om/reconciler
   {:state  app-data
    :parser (om/parser {:read read})}))

(om/add-root! reconciler
  RootView (gdom/getElement "app"))

My goal here is that the component MainMenu has to write true on the console (currently writes false).
Since the read function should return {:value :home} (value on the app-state), therefore (= selected :home) should be true.
In practice, MainMenu writes false on the console, because selected has the value nil.

A: Turns out that the RootView component that is rendered on (om/add-root!) must provide the query for all the application.
In this case RootView must provide a query as well, and pass the selected key to the MainMenu component.
(def app-data
  (atom {:user ""
         :menu {:selected :home}}))

(defui RootView
  static om/IQuery
  (query [this]
    `[{:menu (om/get-query MainMenu)}])
  Object
  (render [this]
    (let [{:keys [menu]} (om/props this)]
      (println "Render RootView")
      (main-menu menu))))

Also, the reader function dispatches on the :menu key, instead of the :selected key.
(defmethod read :menu
  [{:keys [state]} _ _]
  {:value (get-in @state [:menu])})

The rest of the code remains the same.

A: In om.next, all queries have to compose to the root component, as you discovered. The root component is assigned its props based on what the read function returns when it processes the root query.
If any subcomponents have a query, the props requested by that query should be passed down as the first argument the subcomponent's factory method. This was the second piece you were missing.
There isn't currently any warning or error in Om if you query for something in a subcomponent that isn't ultimately passed down by its parent. So you end up destructuring a nil value for the key in the subcomponent if you forget to pass down props.


1: Grab a large cooking pot and cover the base with olive oil.
2: Add the garlic and gently fry for 3 minutes. Add the onion and continue to fry for another 3 minutes. Add the minced meat and continue to fry until it is of a golden brown colour.
3: Add the meat flavoured stock cube by crumbling it in. Add the potatoes, salt to your own liking, the wine and the water. Mix well, cover with the lid and boil on medium to high heat for 30 minutes.

Help us to feed the horses this Winter: our Christmas 2017 Campaign Appeal has now been launched on JustGiving.
Winter is a challenging time for all the horses at Brewham Lodge Stables, and a challenge for our dedicated staff to ensure they have all the right food they need. Which is why the theme for our Christmas Campaign this year has been: Please help us to feed these deserving horses this Winter - CLICK HERE FOR THE JUSTGIVING CAMPAIGN. Already with the darker evenings you can hear them whinnying for their supper!
New on JustGiving this year is the option to link a personal fundraising page directly to this campaign, so please consider setting up your own Christmas challenge or event and involve your friends and family in fundraising. This is a really efficient way to help the charity, as JustGiving collects all the Gift Aid due from the tax man and passes it on promptly with no further hassle on our part.
Meanwhile, on the Christmas theme, we still have a few of our super Christmas Cards available - CLICK HERE FOR DETAILS, so do not delay, order yours from Ping now, by calling on 07712 346604 or 01935 850559.
Put the date Sunday 25 February 2018 in your diaries: we shall be holding our next major fundraising at Fontwell Park on National Spirit Hurdle.
Your Charity Raceday planning committee is very pleased to announce that once again we will be holding our next major fundraising event at Fontwell Park on Sunday 25 February 2018.
An example of the exciting charity auction items we have for you is a Gallops Visit for Two to the Inkberrow yard of our favourite up-and-coming young jumps trainers Tommy and Laura Gretton. Your visit to Middle Bouts Farm will include champagne breakfast in the farmhouse kitchen, a chance to meet the team and see all the horses.
In the afternoon you will be taken racing, perhaps in the company of one of the experienced chasers with a Sanctuary link.
On the left here is Edmund's stalwart Jackthejourneyman.
Whilst on the right is David and Barbara's Little Jimmy, doing his impression of a Baudet du Poiton, though donkey over the fences he is not.
The Trustees are delighted to announce that we have attracted additional volunteers to boost the leadership of the charity, impact on the delivery of our objectives and augment our horse welfare capability.
Joining the Fontwell Park planning committee is Dave Olver supported by his wife Gerarda. You can see them here in the winners' enclosure in Kempton last year with American Gigolo and Jockey Noel Fehily. AG is now with Harry Fry in Dorset, not so far from Brewham Lodge Stables, so we hope to see them as regular visits, when they come to visit their horse.
Also recruited to bring a further fresh perspective to the Fontwell Park planning committee is dressage competitor Aileen, whose professional consultancy background meant her offer, made on a recent visit to meet the horses and team at Brewham, to review our fundraising strategy was greeted with enthusiasm. Aileen is a natural shoe in for the post of part-time Chief Executive, which we have advertised on the Do-It for Horseracing website. Aileen's commitment and enthusiasm is infectious: watch this space!
In addition opportunities posted on Do-It for Horseracing have brought us Michelle, who is now part of Graham's welfare support team as Area Field Officer Essex. Michelle is a fully qualified and experienced equine nurse at the House & Jackson Equine and Small Animal Hospital in Blackmore and cares for ex-racehorses of her own. Michelle's employers are fully supportive of her commitment to us as a volunteer: they see this as important for Michelle's career development, good PR for the veterinary practice, and good for the welfare of the Sanctuary's horses in their area – a win-win situation for everyone.
Graham and his team at Brewham Lodge have been fantastically busy finding new keepers and matching them to the horses ready to graduate from Brewham Lodge Stables, and welcoming new recruits for routine assessment and rehabilitation, as well as into the Peter O'Sullevan High Dependency Unit.
Recent recruits include Dakota Rain better known as Trent. Graham reports: "A super looking 15-year old gelding by Indian Ridge. Having just arrived at the centre he is acting as though he has been here all of his life. A true gentleman in every respect I do believe that Trent will have a great future ahead of him, all we now need is to find that special person who will be lucky enough to take him in as part of their family." Indian Ridge by the way is also the sire of High Dependency Unit mascot Wavertree Warrior, so Trent is really joining family now, with a new one to which to look forward!
Meet Opus Too another new kid on the block: this is 6-year old bay gelding by Lawman out of Lake Coniston mare Jerez. Graham reports: "Arrived at dusk so lighting not to good I'm afraid but even in these shots you can see what a handsome chap he is.
Just look at The Betchworth Kid, otherwise always known as BK, jumping for joy at his new home with Tracey. This super chap has so much talent and Tracey and her team are definitely the ones to bring the best out of him.
Meanwhile pictured on the right, 15-year old Smart Mistress has been posing for some serious professional photography at her new home. Doesn't she remind you of her sire: Silver Patriarch?
LOVE THOROUGHBRED HORSEPOWER AND WANT TO HELP THE RACEHORSE SANCTUARY THIS CHRISTMAS?
John Collins of Talacrest who has been a regular supporter of the Racehorse Sanctuary has just launched his book - Talacrest Classic Ferrari - Dealing in Dreams. This book tells the inside story about John Collins and Talacrest, from its beginning to present day and is also a wonderful catalogue of the world's most fabulous cars that Talacrest and John have been involved with. With approximately 350 pages, the book is prolifically illustrated with stunning archive pictures from Auto Italia and Marcel Massini amongst others and includes many important Ferrari road and racing cars. Many are accompanied with histories, track tests and how the deals were done.
WHAT'S IN IT FOR THE RACEHORSE SANCTUARY YOU MAY ASK?
Well quite simply - John has decided to split all the profits from the sale of the book between two charities - The Thames Valley Air Ambulance and of course - The Racehorse Sanctuary.
Our Sandown Park Charity Raceday was a social and timely financial success. You helped us raise £35,000, which all goes to the care of the horses.
A fantastic result from our Sandown Park Charity Raceday sponsored by SJP's Max Patel, which cleared £35,000 in funds for The Racehorse Sanctuary. Thank you all so much for your help and support. It is difficult to know where to start with thanks: those of you who came on the day or all those who worked so hard behind the scenes to make the day so successful. You efforts are much appreciated: both our own staff and volunteers and the staff of the racecourse, coordinated by our primary contact Chad, who was doing this for the first time.
The weather was good to us, the racing was exciting and a great time was had by all, exemplified by the lady who won the champagne prize for the Heads & Tails competition, and John Francome modelling the Ralph Lauren designer leather jacket - provided by John Collins of Talacrest and bid for by Kim Bailey in the auction so skilfully compered by Colin Brown.
We must not forget Julia for her efforts beforehand and on the day. We are so sorry to lose you from the team Julia: we may struggle without you next year, but we hope you are back to good health and good luck in the future with your role with George Baker Racing.

Greg Kaza, Arkansas Policy Network: Arkansas Gov. Mike Beebe has called on tax cut proponents to identify spending cuts. But spending cuts are not required to cut income, capital gains or grocery tax rates. Three 2011-2013 budget alternatives that increase state spending at lower percentage rates or freeze spending at current levels would provide an extra $57 million-to-$109 million in savings for tax cuts.
The proposal would freeze all other funds, departments and agencies but increase spending for the Public School Fund (1.5%) and Corrections (1.1%).This alternative would save $56,908,103 for tax cuts, a scenario not included in Beebe's budget proposal.

I don't make an emotionally good pregnant woman. Sure, I fly through the first trimester with nary a wave of nausea, but my emotions run the gamut and I find myself lecturing, yelling and watching myself be genuinely unpleasant to be around at times. I pray for calm frequently.
Over the weekend, Justin and I were discussing this excellent children's book we'd read to the kids for bedtime called I Remember Papa. In the book, the boy saves up all his quarters from working on the farm to buy himself a baseball glove. Finally he gets his chance to go to the big city with his dad who needs new work boots and who has saved up enough to take the two of them to a baseball game. After the game, the boy's money is gone, but instead of a lecture, the dad buys the glove he's been longing for and they glue the work boots back together when they get home.
We were discussing how sweet the story was and how it showed an act of grace and how the boy learned more from his father that day than a lecture would have taught. I said that I found the lesson particularly meaningful and one that I hoped to follow more often, because it was a wise one.
The Boy piped up, "Mom, you yell a lot. I think you'd better read that book a million times if you want to learn that really well."
Oh, that's a tough one. My son, same age, is really good at pointing out imperfections. I guess that's a lesson in itself for them. Even though we're not perfect we're striving for better and trying to teach them right even when we don't get it right all the time.
Bwhahaha. Sorry, it just sounds like something one of my kids would say.
I am not an emotionally stable pregnant person either.

The Carrera was originally launched in 1963. It was designed by Jack Heuer himself, who got the inspiration for the name in 1962 when talking to the parents of Mexican racing drivers known as 'the Rodriquez Brothers', who mentioned to him the grueling Carrera Panamericana Mexico race. While this race was cancelled off in 1955 due to the high number of accidents, the name nevertheless stuck with Jack Heuer and he registered the Heuer Carrera name for later use.
As stated in his autobiography 'The Times of my Life', Jack Heuer was a great admirer of modern design. When wrist chronographs began to become more and more popular, Jack noted that many of them had very busy dials that were at times hard to read. When creating the Carrera, he does sought to create a chronograph that was easy on the eyes and easily readable. A then new type of tension ring became of vital importance to the design: it allowed him to print scales on the ring that secured the plastic crystal to the case, making it possible to leave the dial as clean as possible.
In the next few decades, the Carrera would grow out to become one of the icons of the watchmaking world.


Tokyo Bilingual Chess Club had a great turnout for our new year scholastic chess tournament this past Saturday, January 28, 2017. There were a total of 16 players vying for various trophies and prizes. The field of 16 players was split into two sections, an open section (Class A) and a U1000 section (Class B). The kids and parents were all great and we couldn't have asked for a better group. Special donations (Harry Potter merchandises & chess books!) were provided for winners to take as a prize.
The TD, Alex A., and Teacher Misaki settled any type of dispute that arose during the game. When two or more players ended up with the same score, we had a blitz chess play-off, in which they play one game of five-minute chess to determine who wins which trophy.
The 1st place winner of each section received free entry fee for the 8th scholastic chess tournament this summer, 2017.
Thanks to International Master Ryosuke Nanjo and FIDE Master Anton Frisk Kockum for help with monitoring the games and/or helping to set up and break down everything. Also, thank you for being the best photographer, Emi Hasegawa, in the chess world! It was a huge help and much appreciated. Congratulations to the winners, and a big thank you to all the players who came out to compete. The next batch of tournaments is just around the corner, so be sure to register for your chance to win.

1,200,000 people visited last year. 40% of them stayed overnight with an average stay of 2 nights. Day ticket prices start at €33; an overnight stay in a tent starts at €150. There are supposedly 10 flamingos in residence, but I only saw 9 during my stay. I emailed T.I. reps to see if there'd been a death. A representative assured me they only had a double digit count and said, "[N]ow and then one of them tiptoes around to explore the rest of the hall." There are 275,000 balls in the children's ball pit and I'm sad to report that I missed something called the Space Hole at the water playground where "guests slip into a funnel that slowly sucks them down." The hall has 50,000 plants from 600 species and the work of 1 self-described "palace-slut" who moved to Bali from Australia in the seventies, renounced his name (Michael White), and went on to become a world-renowned tropical landscape architect, designing both David Bowie's estate in Mustique and Tropical Islands' lagoon before his death in 2016. I lasted about 22 hours.
thank you for the interesting top 10 list. I am a digital nomad myself. The last 6 months I have been travelling and working from different places: 2 months Barcelona, 2 months Turkey and the rest of the time in Germany, mostly in Berlin. Now heading to Ko Phangan for a couple of months, your number 1. My working colleague lives in Oaxaca, your number 2. So it was funny to see :). I can add that apart from that Turkey could be also a great destination for a digital nomads. The people are extremely friendly, cheap food, hospitality, chai, sweets, hotels and guesthouses are very inexpensive. A good alternative for those who stayed 3 months in the EU and need to go out. The nature around Bodrum and Antalya is just amazing, you have sea, you have mountains, you have orange and lemon trees. Especially Antalya has impressed me by the beautiful old town Kaleici. All in all, amazing, modern and very dynamic country.
Good luck! If you want to be surrounded by more tech people and other coders to learn from, Chang Mai would be a lot better for that. But there's no beach there. Any more questions feel free to email me. I would also recommend joining a digital nomad mastermind like Dynamite Circle or Digital Nomad Academy. That way you can make connections and meet other people who are doing similar Internet-related things in Thailand and SE Asia.

Tour companies and guides are given specific times for when their guests can snorkel at a particular site. This restriction enhances the experience, as your view of a shark won't be interrupted by another group's flippers. The best place to snorkel without a guide is a beach close to the Finch Bay Galapagos Hotel, which is reached by passing iguanas and sea lions that sit on the sand along the way.
Though no dinosaurs are to be found, there is no escaping the enchanting feeling that Nuku Hiva, in the super remote Marquesas Islands of French Polynesia – resembles Jurassic Park. Maybe it's the fact that there's hardly anyone around, or maybe it's the fact that you thought such incredible natural beauty only existed in Hollywood productions – Nuku Hiva is dramatically beautiful beyond imagination. The few visitors who make the long journey to Nuku Hiva will spend their days hiking to hidden waterfalls and secluded beaches, exploring the island's ancient temples and natural wonders by 4X4, horseback or small boats, and meet the proud local Marquesans – whose rich history has developed over centuries of isolation.

Sports journalism expert Kimberly Bissell conducted a study on the camera angles used during the 2004 Summer Olympic Games beach volleyball games. Bissell found that 20% of the camera angles were focused on the women's chests, and 17% on their buttocks. Bissell theorized that the appearance of the players draws fans attention more than their actual athleticism.[190][191] Sports commentator Jeanne Moos commented, "Beach volleyball has now joined go-go girl dancing as perhaps the only two professions where a bikini is the required uniform."[177][188][192] British Olympian Denise Johns argues that the regulation uniform is intended to be "sexy" and to attract attention.[193] Rubén Acosta, president of the FIVB, says that it makes the game more appealing to spectators.[178]
As soon as I think of travel, it's not long before my mind drifts to white sand beaches, azure blue water, and palm trees in tropical locales. When most people think of paradise, chances are they're thinking of tropical islands is far-flung corners of the world. Lounging with a good book, drinking from coconuts, soaking up the rays. Does it get any better than that?
I came across this article by accident & I was really glad to see Koh Phangan at first place. I've been going to Koh Phangan for the last 10 years & I was there for 6 months last year. I rented a gorgeous bungolow in jungle for 200$ per month (all inclusive including internet) & a scooter for 50$ per month. It is really a magical place, and definitely a digital nomad heaven.
Fins: Provide a large surface area to push against the water. This allows you to swim using your powerful leg muscles. This moves you more efficiently and frees your hands.You want your fin to fit like a comfortable shoe. Not so tight that your feet cramp but also you don't want your foot to have any loose movement inside the fin. Desirable features: Look for Fins that are high quality, lightweight fins that come in a variety of sizes for both children and adults.
There are many great places to eat in OB. BO-Beau Kitchen + Bar is a romantic spot as it offers upscale French fare in a cozy, candlelit dining room. If you prefer something casual, try the juicy, loaded burgers at Hodad's, fresh fish tacos at South Beach Bar & Grille, or a slice of pizza and some San Diego craft beer at Pizza Port. Kaiserhof is known for its authentic German food and brews while Old Townhouse Restaurant is the best for diner-style breakfast (especially when recovering from a long night out).
1939: First side-mounted swimmers' breathing tube patent filed. In December 1939, expatriate Russian spearfisherman Alexandre Kramarenko files a patent in France for a breathing tube worn at the side of the head with a ball valve at the top to exclude water and a flutter valve at the bottom. Kramarenko and his business partner Charles H. Wilen refile the invention in March 1940 in the USA, where their "underwater apparatus for swimmers" is granted US patent 2,317,236 on 20 April 1943;[36] after entering production in France, the device is called "Le Respirator".[37] The co-founder of Scubapro Dick Bonin is credited with the introduction of the flexible-hose snorkel in the mid-1950s and the exhaust valve to ease snorkel clearing in 1980.[38] In 1964, US Divers markets an L-shaped snorkel designed to outperform J-shaped models by increasing breathing ease, cutting water drag and eliminating the "water trap".[39] In the late 1960s, Dacor launches a "wraparound big-barrel" contoured snorkel, which closely follows the outline of the wearer's head and comes with a wider bore to improve airflow.[40] The findings of the 1977 report "Allergic reactions to mask skirts, regulator mouthpieces and snorkel mouthpieces"[41] encourage diving equipment manufacturers to fit snorkels with hypoallergenic gum rubber and medical-grade silicone mouthpieces (see Figure 5). In the world of underwater swimming and diving, the side-mounted snorkel has long become the norm, although new-generation full-face swim masks with integrated snorkels are beginning to grow in popularity for use in floating and swimming on the surface.

Looking for the next up-and-coming neighborhood in the Bay Area? Look for a new Starbucks coffee shop. Seriously.
A new book by two top executives at the real estate website Zillow says that the opening of a Starbucks store is a remarkably accurate predictor of rising home prices in the area.
"Starbucks equates with venti-sized home-value appreciation. Moreover, Starbucks seems to be fueling — not following — these higher home values," according to "Zillow Talk: The New Rules of Real Estate," by Spencer Rascoff and Stan Humphries. Rascoff is Zillow's CEO and Humphries is its chief economist.
Rascoff and Humphries looked at a database of Starbucks locations and nearby Zillow housing data, comparing home values within a quarter-mile of a Starbucks franchise to homes farther away over a five-year period after the store opened.
They found that homes closest to Starbucks appreciated 21 percent over five years, while homes slightly farther away appreciated 17 percent.
A similar pattern of rising home prices was also found in neighborhoods with new Dunkin' Donuts stores, but Rascoff and Humphries say those homes don't appreciate quite as fast as those near a Starbucks. Homes near Dunkin' Donuts have appreciated 80 percent since 1997, while homes near Starbucks have appreciated 96 percent.
According to the book Starbucks has a team of 20 analytical experts who examine maps and geographic information systems data to assess an area's traffic patterns and businesses before they decide to move in.
Ultimately, whether Starbucks itself raises nearby home prices or its analytics team gets the credit for spotting up-and-coming neighborhoods is beside the point. If you're scouting the Bay Area for neighborhoods likely to gain in value, relax and have a cup of coffee — at a new Starbucks location.

Grand Jury Prize winner at the 2005 Sundance Film Festival, Why We Fight is an unflinching look at the anatomy of American war-making. Granted unparalleled Pentagon access, the film launches a nonpartisan inquiry into the forces -- political, economic, and ideological -- that drive America to fight. Inspired by President Dwight Eisenhower's 1961 Farewell Address in which he warned Americans about the dangers of the "military-industrial complex," filmmaker Jarecki ("The Trials of Henry Kissinger") weaves unforgettable stories of everyday Americans touched by war with commentary by a "who's who" of military and Washington insiders. Featuring John McCain, Gore Vidal, Richard Perle and others, Why We Fight explores a half-century of U.S. foreign policy from World War II to the Iraq War, revealing how, as Eisenhower warned, political and corporate interests have become alarmingly entangled in the business of war. On a deeper level, what emerges is a portrait of a nation in transition -- drifting dangerously far from her founding principles toward a more imperial and uncertain future.

All of the copies printed from the first setting of type; can include multiple printings if all are from the same setting of type. Every printed book has a first edition, many never have later editions. A later edition would have substantial changes in the printing plates or type such as the addition of a new preface or new chapter or major changes throughout the text and often is printed from a complete resetting of the type. When book collectors use the term first edition, they are usually referring to the first printing and if there are different states or issues, the earliest of those.
State: a portion of a printing with changes such as minor alterations to the text either intentional or accidental; insertion of cancels, advertisements, or insertions; copies on different paper without intention of creating a separate issue; and other changes other than folding or collating or binding.
Variants: usually refers to differences in bindings or end papers within an issue or printing. One variant may have a title stamped on the front cover in black and another may be stamped in red.


Alvor's long history has been traced to the Roman times.
The discovery of a Neolithic village on Vila Velha hill, overlooking the Ria de Alvor, retain traces of the Roman occupation.
The port was conquered in 1189 by King Sancho I who led the Portuguese army, (with help from the Crusaders en route to the Holy Land) only to be retaken by the Moors.
Alvor returned to Christian dominion in 1250.
Alvor was given town status by King João II, who died there in 1495.
In the 15th and 16th centuries Alvor was rich and prosperous, but in the earthquake of 1755 it suffred badly, and Alvor would never regain its former splendour.
Today, Alvor is a picturesque fishing village, with narrow streets, white houses and colourful boats. We can see the fishermen preparing their catch around the old fishing market.
The main church in Alvor was built in the 16th century, and rebuilt in the 18th century. The main doorway is profusely decorated. The side door is in the Manueline style. The three supporting columns to the the naves, the fonts and the triumphal arch of the altar are all part of the original structure. The carved retable on the high altar, with its impressive life-size statue of Jesus, is from the 18th century.This small, but important church also contains polychrome tiles with 18th century figurative panels - the Washing of the Feet and the Last Supper - several statues and tombs.
Alvor castle has disappeared. Only two stretches of wall that were once part of the fortress can be seen.
The Ria de Alvor, is a bird watcher It's the nesting place of dozens of species of migratory bird, and also supports an interesting variety of animal life..
Alvor also has one of the finest beaches, the Meia Praia, in the Algarve.


Sometimes we're dug in so deep that we forget to look up. Not long ago I was struggling with a project and things weren't going well. It was taking forever and I was getting nowhere but instead of looking for a better solution, like a dog with a bone, I doubled down, dug in and decided to try and grind it out. The harder I dug the more resistance I felt. I was getting frustrated and approaching my limit when suddenly the phone rang. It was an old college buddy (who also happens to be a brilliant designer). He sensed my frustration and in an attempt to snap me out of it asked if he could help. He listened patiently then explained there was a very simple solution to my problem. The program I was using had a hidden automated feature that was designed to handle 98% of what I had just spent the last 4 hours toiling over. I felt relieved and ridiculous all at the same time. The solution to most of our problems is usually simpler than we think IF we're willing to seek the help we need when we need it. Just like flicking on a light switch, help is usually just a click away.

'X-Men: Apocalypse': First Trailer Promises Death and Destruction For Humanity
It's enough to make a mutant telepath lose his hair, apparently.

They've triumphed over evil mutants and evil mutant-hunting robots, but as the first trailer for next year's X-Men: Apocalypse teases, perhaps seemingly immortal mutants with dangerous ideologies and blue faces will succeed where all other threats have failed and undo Charles Xavier's dream of human/mutant peaceful co-existence once and for all.
Of course, it wouldn't be an X-Men movie without morally compromised characters. This time around, however, it's not Jennifer Lawrence's Mystique who's walking the line between good and evil, but Michael Fassbender's Magneto who falls under the thrall of the mysterious Apocalypse (Oscar Isaac).
While Mystique's allegiance with Charles Xavier (James McAvoy) might surprise longtime fans of the comic book franchise, it's nothing compared to seeing Alexandra Shipp's Storm apparently standing alongside the bad guys this time around, with Ben Hardy's Archangel also on the wrong side of the conflict. No wonder Xavier is willing to go to new lengths — including finally adopting the iconic bald look — to stop Apocalypse's plan of cleansing the world of humans.
Directed by Bryan Singer, X-Men: Apocalypse also stars Nicholas Hoult, Rose Byrne and Evan Peters, with Tye Sheridan, Sophie Turner, Lana Condor and Kodi Smit-McPhee joining the cast as new(-ish) mutants Cyclops, Jean Grey, Jubilee and Nightcrawler. The movie will be released May 27, 2016.

Bonk's Revenge, known as  in Japan and PC Kid 2 in Europe, is a 2D platformer set in prehistory, originally for the PC Engine/TurboGrafx-16 console, created in 1991 by the Red Company for Hudson Soft, and licensed by NEC. This is the second title in the Bonk series, and it was re-released for the TurboGrafx-16 in 1992 on the Gate of Thunder 4-in-1 game CD-ROM. A completely different game with the same name appeared on the Game Boy, whereas the original version was re-released for Wii Virtual Console and on the Japanese PlayStation Store. It was also released in Japan on Windows Store on December 13, 2013, and on Wii U Virtual Console on March 12, 2014. The title is also playable on the Turbografx-16/PC Engine Mini Console.

Gameplay
This time, the titular large-headed caveman is on a quest to recover half of the Moon, which was stolen by the evil King Drool III. Its multiple stages each contain several specific areas, which range from outdoors to trains to space to underwater. As in most platformers, Bonk has several crucial abilities: the I button causes him to jump; the II button causes him to "bonk," an action in which Bonk slams his head forward, inflicting a killing blow on most enemies; I jump-II combo causes Bonk to headbutt the Earth, killing enemies he lands on and creating a damaging shock wave; Holding down the II button in midair causes Bonk to spin and hover, allowing for long, controlled jumps. Bonk can also use his large mouth to grip onto allowed surfaces for climbing.

Bonk's health is reflected in heart containers, similar to games in the Zelda series. Taking damage will cause Bonk to lose a certain amount of hearts, and hearts can be refilled through items, such as fruit, collected throughout the game. Bonk can also attain blue hearts that increase his amount of hearts, allowing him to effectively gain more health as the game progresses. The game also features Smileys, similar to coins in the Mario series, which are helpful when the player gets to the bonus round after each boss because they can get extra lives. Bonk can also turn invincible when he collects a large meat or two small meats, and can gain an extra life when he collects a small model of himself.

Power-up forms
Bonk is able to power-up and change into various forms by eating meat.
With one small piece of meat, when he Bonks, a cloud floats towards enemies, freezing them when they come in contact. When he spins in the air, he has a cloud surrounding him. When he lands on his head, it freezes all enemies on-screen.
With an additional small piece or one large piece, he becomes fully powered up and becomes temporarily invincible. In this form, he breathes fire, which destroys any enemies that come into contact with it.  When spinning, he is surrounded by fire, & when he lands, it causes damage to all enemies, and instantly destroys most, but not all of them on-screen.

Variations in gameplay
In the Game Boy version of this title, Bonk can turn into one of three unique heroes: Master Bonk, Hungry Bonk, or Stealth Bonk. Becoming Master Bonk dresses Bonk in a cape, provides him with Vulcan-esque ears, and gives him the ability to move faster and jump higher. Becoming Hungry Bonk gives Bonk an animalistic appearance with evil eyes and a mouth full of razor-sharp teeth, and gives Bonk the ability to chew enemies to death, as well as providing him with a much stronger headbutt that can kill nearby foes. Becoming Stealth Bonk dresses Bonk in a striped jail outfit, and gives him the ability to enter special locked doors that lead to areas such as the bank, where Bonk can collect Smileys, the butcher's, where Bonk can eat more slabs of meat in hope for a different power-up, and jail, where Bonk loses a portion of his Smileys.

Grabbing one of many tulips scattered throughout the game carries Bonk to a special bonus stage where he can face off against Mechabonk -- a RoboCop-esque version of Bonk—in a best-of-three battle to "bonk" one another off the edge of a small stage. Winning two rounds provides Bonk with an extra life, while a loss transforms Bonk into Wounded Bonk, where Bonk resembles a mummy and takes twice as much damage as usual.

The game overall is very similar to games in the Mario series, providing linear, side-scrolling action, multiple power-ups, and several small boss confrontations leading up to a final boss. Its treatment of power-ups is similar as well: taking a hit while powered-up causes Bonk to take no damage, but instead lose his power. For those who struggle with the game, the game offers passwords after game overs, so the player does not need to start over from the beginning.

Reception
In the United Kingdom, PC Kid 2 was the top-selling PC Engine game in September 1991.

Reviewing the Game Boy game, GamePro commented that the game is fun but too short and easy, offering "not much more than an afternoon or two of challenge."

Entertainment Weekly gave the game a B.

French gaming magazine  gave PC Kid II a 97% score.

PARALLELS BETWEEN ETHNOPHARMACEUTIC RESEARCH IN WILNO IN 1927 AND AT WORNIE IN 2007
Mekas Tauras ,	Petkeviciute Zivile
The aim of the paper is to analyse and systematize the ethnopharmaceutic material collected during field research in the vicinity of the town of Wornie in Lithuania (the region of Samogitia) in 2007, and to make an assessment of ethnopharmaceutic heritage through a comparison of the results of that study with research conducted by Prof. J. Muszynski in the Wilno region at the beginning of the 20th century. The ethnopharmaceutic material collected in Samogitia has been systematized and compared with the results of J. Muszynski's study (the Latin names of plants being adjusted according to modern classification), with the ultimate aim of finding similarities and differences between the two studies. The study made in Samogitia in 2007 yielded a description of 119 species of medicinal plants, 2 species of fungi and 11 species of animals. In the 1927 study by Prof. J. Muszynski, conducted at the Wilno herbal market, 113 species of medicinal plants, 2 species of fungi and 3 species of animals were described. A juxtaposition of the research results has shown that 44 species of the same medicinal plants are mentioned in both studies. Among the total of 32 plant families mentioned in the two studies, 9 families occur in both studies, of which 4 families are predominant with respect to number of plants species mentioned - these are the Asteraceae, Lamiaceae, Rosaceae and Ericaceae families. Both the 1927 and the 2007 studies found that herbal remedies were used most frequently for treating diseases of the alimentary canal (29% and 22% respectively, of all the medicinal plants mentioned in the studies). The second most numerous group of medicinal plants included plants used for treating diseases of the respiratory tract (13% and 20% respectively), while the third most frequent group was that of plants used for diseases of the kidneys and urinary tract, with that group constituting 10% of plants mentioned in both studies. Similarities between the studies were also found concerning the fungus and animal species used for medicinal purposes. The parallels that appeared in the two studies make it possible to conclude that the foundations of folk medicine are resistant to changes in time and environment

La sessantaduesima edizione del Melodifestivalen si è svolta dal 5 febbraio al 12 marzo 2022 a Stoccolma e ha decretato la rappresentante della Svezia all'Eurovision Song Contest 2022 a Torino.

La vincitrice è stata Cornelia Jakobs con Hold Me Closer.

Organizzazione

Scelta della sede
Dopo un'edizione svoltasi in un'unica sede a causa dell'impatto della pandemia di COVID-19 in Europa, l'emittente SVT aveva dapprima confermato che l'evento si sarebbe nuovamente svolto in sei diverse città della Svezia, con la Friends Arena di Stoccolma come sede della finale. Ciò nonostante, a causa delle nuove e più stringenti misure decise dal governo svedese per il contenimento della variante Omicron, il 14 gennaio 2022 è stata annunciata la sospensione della formula itinerante anche per questa edizione.

Tutte le fasi della selezione si sono tenute quindi a Stoccolma, con le prime tre semifinali in programma all'Avicii Arena (già sede dell'Eurovision Song Contest 2016), le restanti due semifinali e la finale nella Friends Arena.

Le città che, secondo i precedenti programmi, avrebbero dovuto ospitare lo show erano:

Format
Il 26 gennaio 2022 sono state annunciate alcune modifiche al format e allo svolgimento del concorso:

 Semifinali
Le semifinali si sono svolte in due turni di votazione. La canzone con il maggior numero di voti al primo turno si è qualificata direttamente per la finale, mentre nel secondo turno le restanti sei canzoni sono state votate in gran parte come nelle edizioni precedenti: la canzone al primo posto si è qualificata per la finale, mentre le canzoni che si sono classificate seconde e terze hanno avuto accesso alla quinta semifinale, utilizzando un sistema di fasce d'età in vigore dall'edizione 2019. Il voto di ciascuna fascia d'età ha avuto un punteggio di 12, 10, 8, 5, 3 e 1. Per la prima volta, sullo schermo è stata mostrata la ripartizione completa dei risultati, compresi i punti assegnati da ciascuna fascia di età.

 Quinta semifinale (Ripescaggio)
Una quinta semifinale va a sostituire il ripescaggio (Andra Chansen) delle edizioni precedenti, pur mantenendo la medesima funzione. In un sorteggio che si è tenuto il 1º marzo 2022, tutte le canzoni classificate al terzo e quarto posto di ciascuna delle quattro semifinali precedenti (otto canzoni in totale) sono state divise in due gruppi. Non sono state fatte differenze sul fatto che si siano classificate terze o quarte nelle rispettive semifinali. Il voto di ciascuna fascia di età ha portato un punteggio di 12, 10, 8, 5, 3 e 1. Per questa semifinale, sullo schermo non verrà mostrata la ripartizione completa dei risultati.

 Finale
Durante la finale dell'evento, al pubblico è stato consentito di votare fino a 5 volte per canzone durante le esibizioni. Dopo che la giuria internazionale ha espresso il proprio voto, il pubblico ha espresso la propria preferenza in un'ulteriore finestra di televoto, in modo da continuare a influenzare i risultati. Come tutte le votazioni precedenti, anche in questa è stato utilizzato il sistema delle fasce d'età, ognuna delle quali assegnerà un punteggio di 12, 10, 8–1.
