Presenting the S.H. Figuarts Dragonball Super Future Trunks.
Dragonball characters often have a long and convoluted history. Even dead ones could come back to life at any given time, so death is not a certain stopping point.
I'm a bit confused on Trunks myself, or more specifically, Future Trunks. Trunks is the child of Vegeta and Bulma, and Future Trunks always seem to come from a some dystopian future. Originally introduced during the Cell Saga in Dragonball Z, I THINK that version of the character doesn't exist anymore having changed the future and all that.
This particular version comes from a future which is not ravaged by the Androids, but rather, is ravaged by Zamatsu, former Supreme Kai gone mad, and forms the basis for an entire story arc in Super resulting in Trunks gaining a new super mode known as Super Saiyan Rage, which looks like Super Saiyan 2 but with a blue and yellow aura.
But that's enough backstory - lets take a quick look at the actual figure itself.
Future Trunks comes with the figure itself which technically has two head sculpts - one normal mode, one Super Saiyan mode - with two face plates a piece. In the case of the normal head sculpt, you get a smiling and yelling, and for Super Saiyan you get yelling and gritted teeth with eyes to the right. Trunks also comes with his trusty Z Sword in broken, unbroken, and Sword of Hope modes, along with a Gallick Cannon effect and the usual assortment of weapon gripping and posing hands.
There is only one hand that can work with the Gallick Cannon effect, and there is a stand to hold the blade of the Sword of Hope for a slashing pose, though it only works for a downward slash as it is a fixed stand rather than a dynamic one.
Trunks is one of the few characters over the years that I can ever recall doing extensive fighting in civilian clothes. For the Super arc, he's dressed in.. well, Capsule Corp gear, along with his trademark boots and a fancy neckerchief. He's got blue hair now which apparently was the way it always was meant to be, as Bulma has blue hair, but was interpreted as purple for the Z series anime.
Trunks looks very accurate to his anime appearance, colours and all. Unfortunately, as his anime model only had like one second of swoleness, Trunks too remains relatively slim even in Super Saiyan Rage mode. But hey, Tamashii did a great job on that Super Saiyan hair, to the point that the hair has functional sharp points.
I guess one thing I don't quite get is why they painted the one part of the knee joint (on the torn pants side) white rather than leaving it as the grey - maybe this was something from the anime model?
You of course get the articulation of the base male Dragonball body, which includes toes, ankles, double jointed knees. hips which are permanently in the pulled down position to allow for greater range of motion, waist, mid torso, shoulders with chest collapse, bicep swivel, double jointed elbows, wrists, neck, and head. Overall, you'll get your desired pose out of the figure, but you'll probably need to find a flight stand to get the most out of it.
Paint work is beautiful, as tends to be case with the Dragonball offerings, probably because they're relatively simple. Don't get me wrong though - there's nothing wrong with simple, as executed right the result is stunning. Accent paints on the silver and gold parts are done with minimal smudging or other masking errors. All other areas are painted with a smooth, consistent texture that does not drown the underlying plastic details. The only exception is that weird grey paint app on the pants.
Finally, surprisingly the build quality of the figure is great. There are no issues with joints, material choices, limb length or alignment. Details on the figure are sharp, though there are some spots of poor sanding of plastic flashing - on the flip assembly seams seem to be better finished than the typical Figuarts figure.
As I've said before, Dragonball Figuarts are what I wish the Final Fantasy Play Arts Kai figure were. A good underlying body that combines good materials, articulation and build quality, along with QC on paint and assembly that shows despite having a monopoly on a product line, your company still cares about that sort of thing.
A flight stand and more effects parts would be nice, but that's pretty much consistent for all the Dragonball line,
Thanks again, Tina, for making this happen. I owe you a solid.

Thailand is a tropical country located in southeastern Asia, bordering the Andaman Sea and the Gulf of Thailand, to the southeast of Burma. Primary public health problems include heart disease, cancer, and HIV/AIDS.
Direct Relief’s efforts in Thailand have focused on malnutrition and micronutrient deficiencies.
Direct Relief’s key partner in Thailand is the Global Health Access Program, which supports the Mao Tao Clinic on the Thai/Myanmar border with material and technical medical support. The clinic provides free health care for migrant workers and people crossing the border from Myanmar into Thailand. The staff of five physicians, 60 health workers, and 25 volunteers provides inpatient and outpatient health services. In addition, the clinic administers the Backpack Health Worker Team Program, an outreach project consisting of teams of health workers who provide primary health care to internally displaced people inside Myanmar. In an effort to address malnutrition and micronutrient deficiencies, health workers distribute high-dose vitamin A and anti-worm medication every six months to over 20,000 children ages one to five years.
Direct Relief, through a generous gift from Leiner Health Products, donated the vitamin A capsules for the project.
I just want to give a MASSIVE thank you to this amazing person for getting me a pro account!
I am so amazingly grateful, this is the nicest thing a stranger has ever done for me.
Thank you so much. Really!
Thank you, thank you, thank you!

The generous luminous flowers of the Hungarian collective Koros Design float in the city canal. The lush flowers are reminiscent of faraway places, exotic fauna, life in former colonies, the Caribbean parts of the Kingdom, and the flowers also indicate the beauty of the interplay of different colors, the splendor of harmony and contrast. The light reflected on the water turns the channel into a canvas.
Peter Koros studied MA Design at the Institute of Applied Arts in Sopron/Hungary. He founded studio Koros Design, where he works on various projects, from interior design and creative lighting solutions to autonomous work.
Generosity is simply our giving without consideration of our circumstances...what it will cost us. It's so much easier to give from our abundance and leftovers (that which we will not miss) than it is to give of our last or best (that which we will certainly miss)

I usually don’t like showing my sketches, but I’m feeling generous right now ;)
So here it goes, some quick sketches of a new character that has been running through my head for some time now.
Introducing the villain in Crimson Cisa his world; Dion Valtazar a.k.a. The Killer of Trolls
Dion Valtazar is a little shit. He doesn’t care about anybody. He wipes his behind with the values of society. Kicking a puppy in the groin? Check. Getting wasted on a week day before 12 am? Why not! Peeing on the doorstep of an old lady? He’s not going to piss his pants right!
Rules, systems and order do not apply to him. He spits in the face of the law. The embodiment of chaos and thrill, he roams the world purely for his own good. Only looking out for himself, he is a dangerous individual to the masses. He has no awareness of good and evil. He exists in a vacuum where there is no right and wrong. All that counts is the whim of the moment.
Seemingly being driven by the attempt to destroy all regularity and order, he enjoys being intoxicated by primal chaos. A true tragedy…
He is beyond doubt someone you love to hate.
Because of this gentleman I am able to enjoy a beautiful part of the countryside and gain a far deeper knowledge of its history. If only all land owners were so welcoming!

Compassion contains fundamental fearlessness, fearlessness without hesitation. This fearlessness is marked by tremendous generosity, in contrast to the fearlessness of exerting one's power over others. This "generous fearlessness" is the fundamental nature of compassion and transcends the animal instinct of ego. Ego would like to establish its territory, whereas compassion is completely open and welcoming. It is a gesture of generosity which excludes no one.
Compassion begins to play a part in the practice of meditation when you experience, not only calm and peace, but also warmth. There is a great feeling of warmth which gives rise to an attitude of openness and welcoming. When this feeling arises, there is no longer any anxiety or fear that external agents will act as obstacles to your practice of meditation.
This instinctive warmth, which is developed in meditation practice, also extends into the post-meditation experience of awareness. With this kind of true awareness you cannot divorce yourself from your activity, To do so would be impossible. If you try to concentrate upon your action---making a cup of tea or any daily-life activity---and at the same time try to be aware, you are living in a dream-state. As one of the great Tibetan teachers said, "Trying to combine awareness and action in an unskillful way is like trying to mix oil and water." True awareness must be open rather than cautious or protective. It is open-mindedness, experiencing the open space within a situation. You may be working, but awareness could also operate within the context of your work, which then would be the practice of compassion and meditation.
Generally awareness is absent in our lives ; we are completely absorbed in whatever we are doing and we forget the rest of the environment, we seal it off. But the positive force of compassion and prajna is open and intelligent, sharp and penetrating, giving us a panoramic view of life which reveals not only specific actions and events but their whole environments as well. This creates the right situation for communication with other people. In dealing with other people, we must not only be aware of what they are saying, but we must also be open to the whole tone of their being. A person's actual words and smile represent only a small fraction of his communication. What is equally important is the quality of his presence, the way he presents himself to us. This communicates much more than words alone.

Sočutje vključuje temeljno neustrašnost, neustrašnost brez obotavljana. Takšno neustrašnost označuje izjemna radodarnost v nasprotju z neustrašnostjo, ki uveljavlja svojo moč nad drugimi. Ta "velikodušna neustrašnost" je temeljna narava sočutja in presega živalski instinkt ega. Ego hoče utrditi svoje ozemlje, medtem ko je sočutje popolnoma odprto in vabi. Je gesta velikodušnosti, ki ne izključuje nikogar.
Sočutje začne igrati svojo vlogo v praksi meditacije, ko izkusiš ne le tišino in mir, ampak tudi toplino. Pojavi se občutek topline, ki vzbudi držo odprtosti in dobrodošlice. Ko se ta občutek pojavi, izginejo bojazni in zaskrbljenost, da bo nekaj zunanjega postalo prepreka naši praksi meditacije.
Ta instinktivna toplina, ki se razvije v praksi meditacije, se razširi tudi v po-meditativno doživljanje zavedanja. S takšno vrsto zavedanja se ne morete ločiti od svoje dejavnosti. Storiti kaj takega je nemogoče. Če se poskušate skoncentrirati na svoje delovanje---kuhanje čaja ali katerokoli vsakdanjo aktivnost---in hkrati biti v stanju zavedanja, živite v sanjskem svetu. Kot je dejal eden velikih tibetanskih učiteljev : " Nespretno kombiniranje zavedanja in delovanja je podobno mešanju olja z vodo." Pravo zavedanje mora biti odprto, ne pa previdno ali zaščitniško. Je odprtost, doživljanje odprtega prostora znotraj situacije. Lahko da delaš, toda zavedanje bi prav tako lahko delovalo znotraj konteksta tvojega dela, ki bi potem bilo praksa sočutja in meditacije.
Običajno je zavedanje odsotno v našem življenju ; popolnoma smo zaposleni s svojim delom in pozabimo na okolje, izločimo ga. Toda pozitivna sila sočutja in pradžne je odprta in inteligentna, ostra in predirna, daje nam panoramično videnje življenja, ki razodeva ne le določena dejanja in dogodke, ampak tudi cela okolja ali okoliščine. To ustvarja pravo situacijo za komunikacijo z drugimi ljudmi. Ko imamo opravka z ljudmi, se ne smemo zavedati le tega, kar rečejo, odprti moramo biti za celotno razpoloženje njihovega bitja. Zgolj besede in nasmeh osebe predstavljajo le majhen del njene komunikacje. Prav tako je pomembna kvaliteta njene prisotnosti, način, kako se nam kaže. To sporoča veliko več kot besede same.
Graeme Butler, Camberwell Conservation Study 1991: .
Warrawee, 626-628 Riversdale Road, Camberwell.
History.
Built: 1884-5.
A maltster, Thomas A. Fielding, was the first owner of Warrawee .
when it was erected on four acres in 1884-5. This followed closely the construction .
of the adjoining Astolat (q.v.) for the Derham family, reputedly .
by the same builder, James Swan. .
Given the Derham link with biscuit-making and sugar .
refining, speculation that the Fieldings were connected in some .
way may be true..
Signatures on the internal plaster wall and remnant wall paper .
provide dates of February 1885 and 1891 respectively. .
The first detailed rate description (1898-9) of the house was for .
a brick house of 8 rooms, still on 4 acres. .
By the mid-1920s, the land had shrunk to 152 x 404 feet and the .
ownership changed to Arthur E. Fielding, solicitor. Presumably Thomas's son, Arthur Fielding, won scholastic .
prizes when attending Camberwell Grammar..
The next owner over some 22 years was Arthur S. Cudmore, an .
investor. He replanted the garden using many Australian native .
plants; creating today's dense front garden. A later long-term owner was the radiologist, Dr. Boyard .
Taft, (34 years). By the 1980s the .
house had grown to some 50 squares, but with only 3 bedrooms. .
Its coachhouse was used for a four-car garage, sited next to the .
old stables. A swimming pool had been added on the .
west side..
Description.
Warrawee is a large but typical single-storey Italianate-styled .
villa, with an encircling cast-iron verandah and projecting roan .
bays. Distinguishing aspects include its unpainted stucco, the .
serrated fascia and the eaves-entablature details. Internally .
plaster and joinery details and some mantles survive in the .
generously sized rooms. The front garden and gravel drives are .
notable for the mature planting..
External Integrity.
The verandah floor has been replaced with bricks and the covered .
pool added on the west. The front fence has been replaced .
(picket originally?)..
Streetscape.
One of a notable garden pair, formed with the adjoining Astolat..
Significance.
Historically, as the home of an industrialist and successful .
professional, Warrawee is typical of the middle-classes who .
sought out Camberwell for their home in the late 19th century..
Architecturally, the house is a large and externally near intact .
example of the typical Italianate style, but benefits from its .
mature landscape setting and siting, well back from the street, .
which accentuates its expression of the period.'

O God, please help all parents teach children learn the importance of Generosity.
For Generosity is to share our blessings with one another.
As the best blessings we may receive to learn the Holy Virtue of Generosity –
Are those that we can also share to others with Compassion -
And not merely satisfying our own selves or pleasing our own selfish desires.
May parents give blessings to their children,
That their children may share amongst them equally.
Blessed are children who give more blessings to others greater than what they receive.
Blessed are children who would instead give the blessings they received to the needy.
Blessed are children who would share the blessings they received to the Poor.
Blessed are children who are thankful and appreciative –
For the blessings received from their parents.
Blessed are children with honesty to admit that what they will receive may be too much.
Blessed are children with integrity to admit that what they will receive may be unhealthy.
Blessed are children who are happy even the simplest blessing they may receive.
Blessed are children who are contented not to demand or complain on what they want.
Blessed are children who are grateful enough to return a good deed of generosity to the giver.
Because for in any good deeds of Generosity, that the material blessing does not matter –
But the Holy Spirit of Love to share that comes from the generous Heart.
That every generous deed we do be for the greatest glory of God –
And for the protection of our Spirituality.
That children may become a Children of Wisdom blessed with a generous Heart.
For generous children understand that blessings that receive are not theirs but are from God-
That needs to be shared to others with Love and Compassion.
Amen.

Thanks to a generous donation from Reached out to Asia (ROTA), ANERA successfully distributed over 1,400 sets of sports gear and uniforms to Palestinian, Syrian, and Lebanese sports teams in different regions and camps across the country.
More than 2000 children are beneficiaries of the new sports gear, allowing them to create a sense of community and bonding among their teammates. “A sports jersey may not mean much to others,” explains Coach Khalil Mansour, the head of the Wahdeh Sports Club, ANERA’s local partner in Nahr el Bared Camp, “but for these children, who come from fragmented communities and are constantly faced with challenges, it helps them create a sense of belonging and community.”
Many young boys and girls living in refugee camps and tented settlements seek out sports opportunities as a temporary safe-haven from their challenging daily lives. As such, ANERA provides its local partners with more than just the resources to create sports teams. Rather, its assistance provides youth with the tools to create collaborative healthy and professional sports communities.

Mohammed has been living in this informal refugee camp for almost two months. His wife is sick and cannot access any medical care. Like everyone else in the camp, Mohammed and his wife rely mainly on food donations from the local Kurdish community. But while this demonstrates the generosity within the host community, Mohammed’s wife cannot eat the rice and chicken provided because of her illness. With no access to work or income, there is little chance that Mohammed’s family will be able to afford food, medicine and healthcare without outside help. Christian Aid partner REACH will be providing their family, and others in the camp, with much needed food supplies such as rice, oil, beans, lentils and salt.

Gothenburg (/ˈɡɒθənbɜːrɡ/ GOTH-ən-burg; Swedish: Göteborg [jœtɛˈbɔrj]) is the second-largest city in Sweden, after the capital Stockholm, and the fifth-largest in the Nordic countries. Situated by the Kattegat on the west coast of Sweden, it is the gubernatorial seat of Västra Götaland County, with a population of approximately 600,000 in the city proper and about 1.1 million inhabitants in the metropolitan area.
King Gustavus Adolphus founded Gothenburg by royal charter in 1621 as a heavily fortified, primarily Dutch, trading colony. In addition to the generous privileges given to his Dutch allies during the ongoing Thirty Years' War, e.g. tax relaxation, he also attracted significant numbers of his German and Scottish allies to populate his only town on the western coast; this trading status was furthered by the founding of the Swedish East India Company. At a key strategic location at the mouth of the Göta älv, where Scandinavia's largest drainage basin enters the sea, the Port of Gothenburg is now the largest port in the Nordic countries. The presence of the University of Gothenburg and Chalmers University of Technology has led Gothenburg to become home to many students. Volvo was founded in Gothenburg in 1927, with both the original Volvo Group and the separate Volvo Car Corporation still headquartered on the island of Hisingen in the city. Other key companies in the area are AstraZeneca, Ericsson, and SKF.
Gothenburg is served by Göteborg Landvetter Airport 25 km (16 mi) southeast of the city centre. The smaller Göteborg City Airport, 15 km (9.3 mi) from the city centre, was closed to regular airline traffic in 2015. The city hosts the Gothia Cup, the world's largest youth football tournament, and the Göteborg Basketball Festival, Europe's largest youth basketball tournament, alongside some of the largest annual events in Scandinavia. The Gothenburg Film Festival, held in January since 1979, is the leading Scandinavian film festival and attracts over 155,000 visitors each year. In summer, a wide variety of music festivals are held in the city, including the popular Way Out West Festival.
Name
The city was named Göteborg in the city's charter in 1621 and simultaneously given the German and English name Gothenburg. The Swedish name was given after the Göta älv, called Göta River in English, and other cities ending in -borg. The city's name is often abbreviated to Gbg.
Both the Swedish and German/English names were in use before 1621 and had already been used for the previous city founded in 1604 that burned down in 1611. Gothenburg is one of few Swedish cities to still have an official and widely used exonym.
The city council of 1641 consisted of four Swedish, three Dutch, three German, and two Scottish members. In Dutch, Scots, English, and German, all languages with a long history in this trade and maritime-oriented city, the name Gothenburg is or was (in the case of German) used for the city.
Variations of the official German/English name Gothenburg in the city's 1621 charter existed or exist in many languages. The French form of the city name is Gothembourg, but in French texts, the Swedish name Göteborg is more frequent.
In 2003, the city decided to promote the name Göteborg in international contexts, a decision which was reversed six years later. However, the traditional forms ("Gothenburg" in English, or Gotemburgo in Spanish and Portuguese) are sometimes replaced with the use of the Swedish Göteborg, for example by The Göteborg Opera and the Göteborg Ballet. However, Göteborgs universitet, previously designated as the Göteborg University in English, changed its name to the University of Gothenburg in 2008. The Gothenburg municipality has also reverted to the use of the English name in international contexts.
In 2009, Göteborg & Co, the municipal destination management organisation of Gothenburg launched a new promotional logo for Gothenburg spelled "Go:teborg". Since the name "Göteborg" contains the Swedish letter "ö", they planned to make the name more "international" and "up to date" by turning the "ö" sideways. As of 2015, the name was spelled "Go:teborg" on logos on various signs around the city. In March 2021, the city removed the "Go:teborg" branding from its English communications and switched back to using the logo with "Gothenburg".
History
In the early modern period, the configuration of Sweden's borders made Gothenburg strategically critical as the only Swedish gateway to Skagerrak, the North Sea and Atlantic, situated on the west coast in a very narrow strip of Swedish territory between Danish Halland in the south and Norwegian Bohuslän in the north. After several failed attempts, Gothenburg was successfully founded in 1621 by King Gustavus Adolphus (Gustaf II Adolf).
The site of the first church built in Gothenburg, subsequently destroyed by Danish invaders, is marked by a stone near the north end of the Älvsborg Bridge in the Färjenäs Park. The church was built in 1603 and destroyed in 1611. The city was heavily influenced by the Dutch, Germans, and Scots, and Dutch planners and engineers were contracted to construct the city as they had the skills needed to drain and build in the marshy areas chosen for the city. The town was designed like Dutch cities such as Amsterdam, Batavia (Jakarta) and New Amsterdam (Manhattan). The planning of the streets and canals of Gothenburg closely resembled that of Jakarta, which was built by the Dutch around the same time. The Dutchmen initially won political power, and it was not until 1652, when the last Dutch politician in the city's council died, that Swedes acquired political power over Gothenburg. During the Dutch period, the town followed Dutch town laws and Dutch was proposed as the official language in the town. Robust city walls were built during the 17th century. In 1807, a decision was made to tear down most of the city's wall. The work started in 1810 and was carried out by 150 soldiers from the Bohus regiment.
Along with the Dutch, the town was also heavily influenced by Scots who settled down in Gothenburg. Many became people of high-profile. William Chalmers, the son of a Scottish immigrant, donated his fortunes to set up what later became the Chalmers University of Technology. In 1841, the Scotsman Alexander Keiller founded the Götaverken shipbuilding company that was in business until 1989. His son James Keiller donated Keiller Park to the city in 1906.
The Gothenburg coat of arms was based on the lion of the coat of arms of Sweden, symbolically holding a shield with the national emblem, the Three Crowns, to defend the city against its enemies.
In the Treaty of Roskilde (1658), Denmark–Norway ceded the Danish province of Halland, in the south, and the Norwegian province of Bohus County or Bohuslän in the north, which left Gothenburg less exposed. Gothenburg grew into a significant port and trade centre on the west coast, because it was the only city on the west coast that, along with Marstrand, was granted the rights to trade with merchants from other countries.
In the 18th century, fishing was the most important industry. However, in 1731, the Swedish East India Company was founded, and the city flourished due to its foreign trade with highly profitable commercial expeditions to China.
The harbour developed into Sweden's main harbour for trade towards the west, and when Swedish emigration to the United States increased, Gothenburg became Sweden's main point of departure for these travellers. The impact of Gothenburg as a main port of embarkation for Swedish emigrants is reflected by Gothenburg, Nebraska, a small Swedish settlement in the United States.
With the 19th century, Gothenburg evolved into a modern industrial city that continued on into the 20th century. The population increased tenfold in the century, from 13,000 (1800) to 130,000 (1900). In the 20th century, major companies that developed included SKF (1907) and Volvo (1927).
Geography
Gothenburg is located on the west coast, in southwestern Sweden, about halfway between the capital cities of Copenhagen (Denmark) and Oslo (Norway). The location at the mouth of the Göta älv, which feeds into the Kattegat, an arm of the North Sea, has helped the city grow in significance as a trading city. The archipelago of Gothenburg consists of rough, barren rocks and cliffs, which also is typical for the coast of Bohuslän. Due to the Gulf Stream, the city has a mild climate and moderately heavy precipitation. It is the second-largest city in Sweden after its capital Stockholm.
The Gothenburg Metropolitan Area (Stor-Göteborg) has 1,080,980 inhabitants (2023) and extends to the municipalities of Ale, Alingsås, Göteborg, Härryda, Kungälv, Lerum, Lilla Edet, Mölndal, Partille, Stenungsund, Tjörn, Öckerö within Västra Götaland County, and Kungsbacka within Halland County.
Angered, a suburb outside Gothenburg, consists of Hjällbo, Eriksbo, Rannebergen, Hammarkullen, Gårdsten, and Lövgärdet. It is a Million Programme part of Gothenburg, like Rosengård in Malmö and Botkyrka in Stockholm.[48] Angered had about 50,000 inhabitants in 2015. It lies north of Gothenburg and is isolated from the rest of the city. Bergsjön is another Million Programme suburb north of Gothenburg, it has 14,000 inhabitants. Biskopsgården is the biggest multicultural suburb on the island of Hisingen, which is a part of Gothenburg but separated from the city by the river.
Transport
Sea
The Swedish company Stena Line operates between Gothenburg/Frederikshavn in Denmark and Gothenburg/Kiel in Germany.
The "England ferry" (Englandsfärjan) to Newcastle via Kristiansand (run by the Danish company DFDS Seaways) ceased at the end of October 2006, after being a Gothenburg institution since the 19th century. DFDS Seaways' sister company, DFDS Tor Line, continues to run scheduled cargo ships between Gothenburg and several English ports, and these used to have limited capacity for passengers and their private vehicles. Also freight ships to North America and East Asia leave from the port.
Freight
Gothenburg is an intermodal logistics hub and Gothenburg harbour has access to Sweden and Norway via rail and trucks. Gothenburg harbour is the largest port in Scandinavia with a cargo turnover of 36.9 million tonnes per year in 2004.

Göteborg (schwedisch [ˌʝœtəˈbɔrj]; deutsch veraltet Gotenburg oder Gothenburg; lateinisch Gothoburgum, englisch Gothenburg) ist eine Großstadt in den schwedischen Provinzen Västra Götalands län, deren Residenzstadt sie ist, und Hallands län sowie den historischen Provinzen Västergötland, Bohuslän und Halland.
Göteborg ist nach Stockholm und vor Malmö die zweitgrößte Stadt Schwedens mit 596.841 Einwohnern (31. Dezember 2022); denselben Rang nimmt auch die Storgöteborg („Groß-Göteborg“) genannte, 13 Gemeinden umfassende Metropolregion mit 1.071.744 Einwohnern (Stand Januar 2023) ein.
Geographie
Die Universitätsstadt liegt an der Westküste Schwedens beiderseits des Hauptarmes des Flusses Göta älv, der dort in das Kattegat mündet. Die Stadtteile nördlich des Flusses liegen auf der Insel Hisingen zwischen Göta älv und seinem rechten Arm Nordre älv, der viertgrößten und bevölkerungsreichsten Insel Schwedens.
Im Vergleich etwa zu Stockholm weist Göteborg eine klimatisch günstigere Lage auf und bietet mit seinem eisfreien Seehafen im Mündungsbereich des Göta älv einen bedeutenden Wirtschaftsvorteil (Schwerindustrie und Fährschifffahrt).
Der Stadt vorgelagert liegt im Kattegat der Göteborger Schärengarten (skärgård) mit kleinen und kleinsten felsigen Schäreninseln, die zum Teil bewohnt sind.
Göteborg ist Hauptort der Gemeinde Göteborg von Västra Götalands län, die jedoch nicht das gesamte Stadtgebiet umfasst. Dieses zusammenhängend bebaute Gebiet, der Tätort Göteborg, liegt nach Einwohnern zu 80 % auf dem Territorium der Gemeinde Göteborg (457.927 Einwohner auf 145,39 km²). Kleinere Teile des Tätorts umfassen Teile der umliegenden Gemeinden Mölndal (39,35 km², 60.513 Einwohner, 11 %), Partille (12,26 km², 30.425 Einwohner, 5 %, beide Västra Götalands län) und Kungsbacka (18,14 km², 23.934 Einwohner, 4 %, Hallands län).[4] Andererseits gehören Teile der Gemeinde nicht zum Tätort Göteborg, insbesondere die 2015 neu ausgewiesenen Tätorte Björlanda och Torslanda (23.088 Einwohner) auf Hisingen und Gunnared och Hammarkullen (45.106 Einwohner) im Nordosten der Stadt, die zuvor zum Tätort Göteborg gehörten (alle Angaben mit Stand 31. Dezember 2015).
Zur historischen Provinz (landskap) Bohuslän gehören die nordwestlichen Stadtteile auf der Insel Hisingen, während die zentralen und östlichen Gebiete in Västergötland liegen. Durch die Zuordnung der zuvor eigenständigen Tätorte Kungsbacka, Lindome und einiger kleinerer zum Tätort Göteborg 2015 dehnt sich dieser nun nicht nur bis in die Provinz Hallands län, sondern auch in die Landskap Halland aus, womit Göteborg der einzige Ort Schwedens in drei historischen Provinzen ist.
Zur Metropolregion gehören neben der Gemeinde Göteborg und den Gesamtterritorien der genannten Gemeinden Kungsbacka, Mölndal und Partille auch die neun weiteren, umliegenden Gemeinden Ale, Alingsås, Härryda, Kungälv, Lerum, Lilla Edet, Öckerö, Stenungsund und Tjörn, außer der Gemeinde Kungsbacka (Hallands län) alle in der Provinz Västra Götalands län.
Stadtgliederung
Seit 1. Januar 2021 besteht Göteborg aus vier Stadtbezirken (stadsområden), die in 96 Stadtviertel (primärområden, wörtlich „Primärgebiete“) unterteilt sind. Zuvor war die Stadt von 2011 bis 2020 in zehn sogenannte „Stadtteilratsgebiete“ (stadsdelsnämndsområden) gegliedert, die aus dem teilweisen Zusammenschluss der seit 1989 bestehenden 21 Stadtbezirke hervorgegangen waren.
Geschichte
Über mehrere tausend Jahre hinweg wohnten Menschen an der Stelle des heutigen Göteborg. Schon in der Steinzeit bestand eine Siedlung an der Mündung der Göta älv (heute Stadtteil Sandarna). In Göteborg befinden sich elf Petroglyphen, also in Stein oder Fels geritzte bildliche Darstellungen aus prähistorischer Zeit.
Wegen der häufigen Plünderungen durch Seefahrer flüchteten die Bewohner um 1100 etwa 40 Kilometer weit flussaufwärts. Dort entstand Gamla Lödöse (auch Lödöse genannt), Göteborgs älteste Vorgängersiedlung. Ein anderer Vorläufer Göteborgs war die Festung Älvsborg.
Die Mündung des Göta älv war zu dieser Zeit Schwedens einziger Zugang zur Nordsee. Da Dänemark – im Mittelalter Vormacht in Skandinavien – den Zugang zur Ostsee kontrollierte, hatte der Hafen für Schweden besondere Bedeutung. Im 13. Jahrhundert wurde die Festung Älvsborg an den Klippen des heutigen Stadtteils Kungsladugård gebaut. Lödöse lag als Handelsplatz zu weit flussaufwärts, weshalb man 1473 eine neue Stadt, Neu Lödöse, an der Mündung des Flusses Säveån in den Göta Älv baute. Heute befindet sich dort der Stadtteil Gamlestaden.
Um die Festung herum bildete sich in Richtung Westen ebenfalls ein Dorf. Die Festung selbst wurde von den Dänen 1563 und 1612 erobert. Beide Male mussten die Schweden hohe Ablösesummen bezahlen, um die Festung zurückzubekommen.
17. Jahrhundert
17. Jahrhundert
Karl IX. legte 1603 eine Stadt auf Hisingen, der viertgrößten Insel Schwedens, im Ästuar des Göta älv an, die jedoch 1612 von Dänemark im Kalmarkrieg (1611–1613) abgebrannt wurde. Das heutige Göteborg wurde 1619 durch König Gustav II. Adolf gegründet. 1621 bekam Göteborg das Stadtrecht.
Während des 17. Jahrhunderts siedelten sich hier viele protestantische Einwanderer aus dem Süden der Niederlande, Deutschland und Großbritannien an, die für Göteborgs schnelle Entwicklung eine große Rolle spielten. König Gustav II. Adolf beschäftigte Niederländer im Stadtbau, weil sie zu dieser Zeit Experten im Bauen auf Marschboden waren. Sie bekamen dafür unter anderem wirtschaftliche und rechtliche Privilegien. Der Stadtrat von 1641 war mit vier Schweden, drei Deutschen, zwei Schotten und drei Niederländern besetzt. Der niederländische Einfluss war an den heute größtenteils zugeschütteten Grachten der sehenswerten Altstadt zu erkennen.
Bis 1658 gehörten das unmittelbar angrenzende Bohuslän im Norden und Halland im Süden zu Dänemark-Norwegen. Göteborg wurde dementsprechend stark befestigt. Schließlich war sie eine der am stärksten befestigten Städte in Nordeuropa, mit Steinmauern und Bastionen.
1660 starb König Karl X. Gustav während des Ständereichstags in der Stadt.
18. Jahrhundert
Im 18. Jahrhundert war die Wirtschaft der Stadt durch Fischerei und den Hafen geprägt. Schon damals wurden von hier aus größere Mengen Eisen- und Holzwaren ausgeführt. Im Jahre 1731 wurde die Schwedische Ostindien-Kompanie gegründet, die den Handel mit China und dem Fernen Osten wahrnahm und die Bedeutung Göteborgs als Warenumschlagplatz festigte. Durch ein Privileg war es das einzige Unternehmen Schwedens, das Handel mit Indien und China betreiben durfte. Zwischen 1731 und 1806 verkehrten zahlreiche Schiffe nach Bombay und Guangzhou, was zum wirtschaftlichen Aufschwung der Stadt beitrug.
Während des 18. Jahrhunderts wuchsen auch die Verbindungen zu Großbritannien. Als Napoleon gegen Großbritannien mit der wirtschaftlichen Blockademaßnahme der Kontinentalsperre vorging, wurde der Handel mit Schweden und in erster Linie mit Göteborg für die Briten bedeutend.
19. Jahrhundert
In den Jahren 1802–1815 wurde der Göteborger Dom erbaut. 1806 wurden die Festungswerke geschleift. Erhalten geblieben ist der ehemalige Wallgraben mit seinen Grünanlagen im ehemaligen Glacisbereich, etwa dem Privatpark der Gartenbauvereinigung mit seinem Palmenhaus, dem größten Nordeuropas.
Nach Napoleons Fall (1815) hörte die französische Blockade auf, und damit begann auch Göteborgs Boom als Handelsstadt abzuflauen. Viele Unternehmen mussten Konkurs anmelden, und der Handel mit Ostindien brach ab. Wirtschaftliche Impulse, nicht zuletzt für die Industrie, brachte aber der bald nach dem Ende der Blockadeperiode begonnene Bau des Göta-Kanals, einer Verbindung zur Ostsee über die großen Süßwasserseen Vänern und Vättern. Wegen der Höhendifferenz von etwa 100 m waren zahlreiche Schleusenbauten notwendig.
Im weiteren Verlauf des 19. Jahrhunderts wurden in der Stadt mehrere Banken gegründet, die die wirtschaftliche Entwicklung positiv beeinflussten. Daneben entwickelte sich in der Mitte des 19. Jahrhunderts eine blühende Werftenindustrie (1841: Götaverken, 1844: Lindholmen, 1850: Eriksberg). Seit 1874 verband eine große eiserne Drehbrücke Göteborg über den Göta älv mit der Insel Hisingen.
Ende 1884 hatte Göteborg 86.223 Einwohner, darunter über 1000 Deutsche. Diese deutsche Kolonie erbaute im Stadtkern die Christinenkirche, die noch heute als Deutsche Kirche bekannt ist.
20. Jahrhundert
Im 20. Jahrhundert entwickelte sich der Hafen Göteborgs zum größten Exporthafen Nordeuropas. Dazu trugen sicherlich auch die neu gegründeten international ausgerichteten Industrieunternehmen der Stadt bei.
Die stärkste wirtschaftliche Kraft kam jedoch durch das Unternehmen Gamlestadens Fabrikers AB, einem Betrieb der Textilindustrie, das im Jahr 1900 über 1000 Angestellte hatte. Für das industrielle Wachstum Göteborgs war im ersten Jahrzehnt die Entstehung von Firmen wie SKF verantwortlich. Ausgangspunkt für dessen Entwicklung war wiederum Gamlestadens Fabrikers AB, die das Problem hatten, dass durch den lehmhaltigen Boden der Untergrund des Fabrikgebäudes sich senkte und Risse bekam. Dadurch scheuerten die Kugellager in den Webstühlen schief ab. Der junge Ingenieur Sven Gustaf Wingqvist konstruierte daraufhin das Pendelkugellager als Lösung für dieses Problem. Für diese Herstellung wurde 1906 eine eigene Gesellschaft, die AB Svenska Kullagerfabriken, abgekürzt SKF, gegründet, welche sich schnell zu einem großen Unternehmen in der schwedischen Exportindustrie entwickelte. Während der Finanzkrise der 1920er Jahre schwankte die Nachfrage nach Wälzlagern. Um einen neuen Absatzmarkt zu finden, begann SKF 1926 mit der Herstellung von Automobilen unter dem Namen Volvo.
Göteborgs Werften waren bis in die 1970er Jahre ein wichtiger wirtschaftlicher Faktor der Stadt. Dann kam es jedoch zu schwerwiegenden industriellen Umwälzungen, von denen besonders die Werften betroffen waren. In der sogenannten Werftenkrise konnten sich die Werften gegen die internationale Konkurrenz nicht mehr wirtschaftlich behaupten, so dass der Schiffbau in Göteborg aufgegeben wurde. Die großen Werften wurden geschlossen bzw. beschränkten sich auf die Instandhaltung von Schiffen.
Trotz einiger großer Namen wie Viktor Rydberg und Wilhelm Stenhammar war Göteborg traditionell nicht gerade als kulturelle Großstadt bekannt; ein Sprichwort sagte: „in Göteborg schreibt man keine Gedichte; man schreibt Rechnungen.“
Seit dem Ende des 20. Jahrhunderts entwickelte sich Göteborg zu einem Ort für sportliche wie politische Großereignisse. 1995 war die Stadt Austragungsort der Leichtathletik-Weltmeisterschaften und im Jahr 2006 fanden hier die Leichtathletik-Europameisterschaften statt.
1976 besetzte eine große Anzahl von Umweltaktivisten eine Woche lang den Königsplatz (Kungstorget), um sich gegen den Bau eines Parkhauses unter diesem Platz zu wehren. Die Sozialdemokraten gaben schließlich nach, und das unterirdische Parkhaus wurde nicht gebaut.
Bei einem Brandanschlag auf ein Halloween-Fest in einem als Diskothek genutzten Saal kamen am 29. Oktober 1998 im Stadtteil Hisingen 63 Menschen – hauptsächlich Kinder und Jugendliche – ums Leben.
21. Jahrhundert
Vom 14. bis zum 16. Juni 2001 fand ein EU-Gipfel in Göteborg statt, in dessen Rahmen George W. Bush als erster US-amerikanischer Präsident Schweden besuchte. Der Gipfel wurde von gewalttätigen Protesten überschattet.
Hafen und Schifffahrt
Der Hafen Göteborgs ist der größte Exporthafen Nordeuropas und ganzjährig eisfrei. Im Jahr 2016 wurden hier knapp 41 Mio. Tonnen Güter umgeschlagen, darunter 246.000 Fahrzeuge. Der Umschlag von Containern im größten Containerhafen Skandinaviens lag 2016 bei 798.000 TEU, 2020 waren es 776.000 TEU und 2021 828.000 TEU.[10] An Gütern zur Energieerzeugung wurden 2016 23,7 Mio. t umgeschlagen, 2021 waren es nur noch 19,1 Mio. t. Im RoRo-Verkehr wurden 2016 538.000 Einheiten umgeschlagen; 2017 waren es 593.000, 2018 584.000, 2020 515.000, 2021 556.000. Über die Hälfte dieser rollenden Ladung – oft Forstprodukte (Holz) – entstammt dem Verkehr mit den belgischen Häfen Zeebrugge und Gent.[12] Betreiber des Hafens ist der kommunale Port of Gothenburg (Göteborgs Hamm AB), auch gibt es drei private Terminal-Betreiber. 2020 wurden im Hafen Göteborg 234.000 Neuwagen umgeschlagen, das waren 15 % weniger als 2019. Grund für den Rückgang war ein Produktionsstopp bei Volvo Cars im Frühjahr wegen der COVID-19-Pandemie. 2021 waren es wieder 256.000 Neufahrzeuge.
Vom Hafen Göteborg aus bietet die ortsansässige Reederei Stena Line Fährlinien nach Dänemark (Frederikshavn, mehrere Abfahrten täglich) und nach Deutschland (Kiel, Abfahrten täglich) an. Die Zahl der Passagiere lag 2016 bei 1,708 Mio., neben den Fährschiffen gab es 34 Anläufe von Kreuzfahrtschiffen. 2019 gab es 59 Anläufe von Kreuzfahrtschiffen, 2020 waren es nur elf Anläufe.
Von Saltholmen im Südwesten der Stadt verkehren Fähren zu den vorgelagerten Schären. Die Inseln im südlichen Schärengarten gehören zur Gemeinde Göteborg und werden mit Fähren der Styrsöbolaget im Auftrag von Västtrafik angefahren. Der nördliche Schärengarten ist Teil der Gemeinde Öckerö und wird von einer Autofähre des Vägverket bedient.
Mit den Älvsnabben existiert ein innerstädtischer Fährverkehr auf dem Göta älv zwischen Lilla Bommen und Klippan.
In Göteborg beginnt der Trollhätte-Kanal, der streckenweise den Göta älv nutzt. Zusammen mit dem Göta-Kanal bildet er eine 390 km lange Wasserstraße quer durch Schweden bis zur Ostsee. Die teilweise noch aus dem 19. Jahrhundert stammenden Kanalschiffe Juno, Diana und Wilhelm Tham befahren die Strecke bis nach Stockholm.

Every time I visit my ceramist friend Jasmine she gives me something wonderful. When I happened to mention how much I liked this vase among the many others in her kitchen, she pulled it off the shelf and gifted it. The beautiful roses are from the climbing bush in the yard of the empty student rental next door. The owner said I could clip/transplant anything I want and I have taken him at his word.
You can see more of Jasmine's work here:
These small acts of generosity make me and my house happy.
I think I may have been over generous with the sizable proportions of bread, and seed I laid out yesterday :D. But this is one happy camper in the woods. I even made a nice table setting with a view. Now HOW MUCH MORE GENEROUS CAN ONE BE? He's in heaven with a serious case of gluttony!
HMM & have a great week!

On Saturday, August 20, 2016, the FDNY celebrated the fifth summer Block Party at Engine Company 311 and Ladder Company 158 in Queens. At each event, FDNY members hold demonstrations, offer free fire and life safety education and conduct tours of FDNY apparatus. In addition, those attending have the opportunity to learn more about careers with the FDNY, take part in free compressions-only CPR classes, and register for a free smoke and carbon monoxide alarm installation in their home as part of the #GetAlarmedNYC program. All children in attendance can meet the FDNY Fire and Life Safety Mascots, Hot Dog and Siren. The summer block parties are made possible by generous support from the FDNY Foundation.
We left a bag of goodies for the company downstairs. There were more than just Kettle Chips...but everyone loves some Kettle Chip generosity from time to time.
Generously packed with soft & sweet medjool dates and toasted walnuts, this date nut bread is anything but plain. Without distraction of spices or citrus, the taste of dates and nuts gets to shine. Tangy buttermilk and rich butter made it even better.
Recipe from Cook's Illustrated (subscription only). More coming soon to Dessert By Candy.
This generous sized screened porch was given its scale to blend well with the home and stand on its own. Built in the style of English Tudor country manor, its impressive size and massive oak-beam architecture does blend well with the home. Photography: John Umberger; Real Images
