The Note Sleeve brings the hoarder and the minimalist together, all in an intuitive, thoughtful design.
I've searched high and low for the perfect wallet for years.
There has never been a better time to buy a wallet. Between the many brands, styles, makes, and how easy the internet makes it to buy one, it's possible for just about anyone to find the perfect wallet.
I guess I wasn't "just about anyone".
It started with the Dosh Aero money clip. The Aero holds six cards fairly easily and has a larger, international size to carry different sizes of currency. It's super thin, super light, and very durable.
This is what I tend to carry on a daily basis. In the middle is my Bellroy Note Sleeve along with a little cash and a few coins. I also keep a Field Notes memo book inside a Hellbrand Leatherworks cover along with whatever pen I can find on my desk that morning. Inside my wallet, I need to carry two credit cards, a debit card, my drivers license, a gift card, and a few pieces of other identification in case of emergency.
But Dosh's offerings are a bit odd — they're made of rubber and plastic, meaning absolute durability and construction, but also meaning a wide range of flexibility issues. Unless I have all six card slots filled, other cards fall out on their own. The hard plastic card slots leave little in the way of flexibility, but they are also prone to staining. The outside of my red Aero money clip is immaculate, but the inside looks like someone colored my wallet with a crayon.
I've also used a simple leather wallet from Roots which offers more flexibility and less card loss. It's simple, cheap, and can be found at just about any Roots store here in Canada. Unfortunately, the Roots wallet is designed to carry everything: credit cards, gift cards, currency (although, only American or Canadian currency; different sized international currencies always stick out of the top of the wallet), drivers licenses, health cards — you name it, the simple Roots wallet can carry it. It has no less than 14 dedicated card slots and 2 currency sleeves for separating currency and receipts when on the town.
The Dosh Aero and the Roots wallet are on opposite ends of the spectrum. The Aero is a simple, minimal money clip designed to carry less, while the Roots is designed to carry everything. I've flipped back and forth between the wallets for years, all the while keeping my eye out for a wallet that could carry everything while still remaining thin and small.
The Bellroy Note Sleeve is the middle road between my two prior wallets and between the two generic wallet designs on the market.
Bellroy has long boasted about its ability to shave centimetres off your wallet just by redesigning the shape and the layout of its products. They even designed a nifty graphic to show how you can turn your Costanza-esque wallet into a thin, minimal carry. I always looked at this graphic with skepticism, as I've never seen anyone carry a thick wallet like the one shown. That said, it's still very clear Bellroy's wallets are thinner and better designed than the standard bi-fold wallet design.
It's not like the Bellroy Note Sleeve recently came out and found a way to magically fix all my wallet woes. The Note Sleeve has been around for a few years already, and I'll admit to researching it endlessly for over a year. I wasn't sold on the look from the get go, and I was especially not in love with Bellroy's color combinations. I kept pushing off a purchase, thinking I'd find something better.
Between getting tired of looking and Bellroy introducing a few new colorways, I was pushed over the edge. I picked up a Bellroy Note Sleeve in the teal colorway and I've been pretty happy ever since. The wallet finds a way to meet both ends of the spectrum in the middle, but it's not without its quirks.
One of the very first reviews I wrote for Tools & Toys was of the Hellbrand Leatherworks Field Notes cover. I remember opening the Hellbrand's packaging and pulling out the thick and luscious leather cover and sitting in awe at how it felt in my hand. I use that Hellbrand cover to this day, never being ashamed to pull it out of my back pocket despite all the buffs and scrapes on its beautiful leather face.
The Hellbrand Leatherworks Field Notes cover on the left has the highest quality of leather I've ever laid my hands on. It has spoiled my tastes and set the bar extremely high for the Note Sleeve.
The Hellbrand cover absolutely blew any prior leather product I had felt out of the water. It set a new bar for leather quality. And it set that bar so high, I found constant disappointment when searching for a wallet.
The Note Sleeve was a casualty of the Hellbrand cover. I had played with Bellroy's Slim Sleeve, High Line, and Low Down at a local shop on numerous occasions, and I always left the store wondering why the leather felt so poor compared to the Hellbrand.
As time passed, I began to realize the rarity of the Hellbrand's leather quality. It's so good that it's actually an outlier. Which not only made the playing field unfair for wallet makers, but also made me unfairly assume anything poorer than the Hellbrand was poor in and of itself. This is completely wrong.
It's within this light that I look at the Note Sleeve. The Note Sleeve's leather is soft and supple, although slightly more synthetic than those niche leather products you find on Etsy. The leather smells great as well, which is slowly becoming a checkbox on my list of must-haves.
More importantly, the leather isn't too thick to be too heavy and too large in your pocket, and it isn't too thin to make tearing an issue. As mentioned at the top, the Bellroy Note Sleeve's leather finds a way to balance the spectrum right in the middle.
The Note Sleeve is made of a premium vegetable tanned leather, meaning it can come in a variety of colorways. You're looking at the teal colorway, which comes with white stitching, a grey interior leather color, and a beige/light brown pull tab. I really like the burnt orange and aqua blue colorways as well. I can't feel a difference between the different colored leathers, but I have noticed scrapes showing up more clearly on the grey leather than on the teal leather. This is a bit of a louder colorway, but I appreciate the understated character the color brings to my everyday carry.
As a whole, I'm not sitting here in utter awe at the Note Sleeve's leather quality. But I'm far from being disappointed. Instead, what's more clear is how the thickness of the leather plays into the Note Sleeve's overall build and design. If Bellroy used a thicker leather, this wallet wouldn't be capable of meeting both ends of the spectrum in the middle.
Bellroy's bread and butter is in how its wallets are laid out, how the leather pieces fit together, and how you access your carry essentials.
Just looking at the Note Sleeve next to a standard bi-fold design points out how Bellroy has slimmed down their wallet. I'm pinching the Note Sleeve in the above photo solely to give a better idea of thickness. My Note Sleeve is still relatively new, so the leather hasn't entirely broken in just yet.
The first step to eliminating thickness is by eliminating leather, naturally. Bellroy uses less leather in its wallet designs than standard bi-fold designs, which quickly reduces thickness and weight. This is especially noticeable when comparing an empty traditional bi-fold wallet and an empty Note Sleeve; the Note Sleeve, even though it can carry the same amount of essentials, feels considerably thinner and lighter out of the box. The lack of superfluous leather is essential to Bellroy's thin and light designs.
It's very easy to see how Bellroy has adapted the size and shape of the Note Sleeve. It's more square and tall than standard bi-fold designs.
The Note Sleeve is designed to carry your credit, debit, and gift cards vertically instead of horizontally. This makes the entire wallet less wide and more tall. The added vertical height gives the Note Sleeve extra space for carrying larger international currencies, and the lesser horizontal width makes for a more squared-off bi-fold wallet. It'd be hard to measure whether the Note Sleeve has a lesser footprint because of this design decision, but I do notice a more comfortable shape in my front pocket.
The taller, narrower design is thanks to the vertical card slots. Standard bi-folds have horizontal slots, while the Note Sleeve incorporates the thinner, taller slot.
Inside, you'll find three immediate card slots for your most used cards, a currency slot at the top, a pull-tab for storing all your less-used cards, a fourth card slot hidden in the currency slot, and a small flap of leather covering a small coin pocket in the currency slot. There's a lot packed inside, and how you organize your cards will play a role in how the wallet feels in your pocket.
Looking from the top, you can see how cards are spread out in the Note Sleeve. The pull tab and main card slot is on the bottom half seen in this photo, while the two card slots, hidden slot in the currency slot, and coin pocket are all in the top half.
The three immediate card slots and the fourth hidden slot are meant to be filled before filling the pull tab with your extra cards. Looking at the Note Sleeve from the top proves this point: If you were to put your extra cards in the pull tab and leave one of the slots empty, you'd be overloading one side of the Note Sleeve. Perhaps this is obvious, but I found my Note Sleeve wouldn't close when I first filled it up. After realizing I had an extra card slot on the right half of the wallet, I was able to more evenly spread the thickness of my cards, and this helped the Note Sleeve sit flat on the table.
The pull tab is an ingenious way of keeping a stack of less-used cards hidden away and easily accessible when needed.
Once your four card slots are filled, anything extra can be put into the pull tab slot. This pull tab is ingenious — it's the one thing everyone says "Wow" about when I show off how the wallet is designed. You can load up this slot with all your leftover, less-used cards, and pulling them out of the slot is as easy as pulling the tab. The cards fan out from the slot, and choosing your card is a piece of cake. Pushing the cards back into the slot is as easy as loading the slot in the first place. I can't see there ever being a delay at the till if the card you need is in the pull tab slot.
Cash fits snugly inside the Note Sleeve and takes a little more time to slide in properly. Wider bi-fold designs are more flexible and provide more space for quickly stashing cash in your wallet. The Note Sleeve's narrower design means cash of all sizes fit like a glove.
Again, because of the less-wide-more-tall design, the currency sleeve can easily accommodate different sized currencies. However, the downside to this shape is how difficult it is to quickly slide currency into the wallet. With a larger horizontal on standard bi-fold wallets, there's extra room to spare on the ends, allowing for more flexibility when sliding currency inside. The Note Sleeve's shape and design forces you to more properly aim where you are inserting your currency.
I had to carry a large stash of cash recently (Don't worry, it wasn't my cash!) and the Note Sleeve didn't handle a large amount of cash very well. The wallet tends to stay open, especially with the less flexible Canadian polymer bank notes. I tend to carry less cash on a daily basis, so I don't run into this problem too often, but those who carry lots of cash might find this to be an annoyance.
The Note Sleeve doesn't handle large amounts of currency very well, and this may be of more interest to my American friends. I recently had to carry a multitude of $5 bills in the Note Sleeve, and I was disappointed in how quickly currency caused the Note Sleeve to fill up. Fully loading the Note Sleeve caused it to sit wide open on the table and it became much more noticeable in my jeans pocket. I imagine cash carriers who have large amounts of $1 USD bills in their wallets would find this to be a bit of a nuisance. I rarely carry that amount of cash in my wallet, but my Dosh Aero money clip handled that amount of cash with absolute ease.
There is a small flap of leather on the right side that hides a coin pocket or a slot for keeping smaller business cards.
Lastly, slightly hidden on the right side of the Note Sleeve is a small slot for carrying coins or other cards you need to keep in tip-top shape. I'm impressed with Bellroy's ability to sneak a coin pouch into the Note Sleeve without making it unbearably thick. Putting coins into the little pocket is more difficult than lifting the flap and pouring them out, but it's a viable alternative to carrying coins freely in your pocket.
A few coins fit nicely in this pocket and don't make the Note Sleeve too thick in your pants pocket. However, I do find smaller coins to get caught in the corners of the coin pocket, making them very difficult to get out.
The only downside to the coin pocket is when small coins find their way into the tighter corners of the wallet. I first put a few loonies and toonies ($1 and $2 Canadian coins, respectively) into the coin pocket and removed them with ease. However, after putting in a few dimes and nickels, I found the smaller dimes would get caught in the corners and would be harder to pull out. I tend to leave this coin pocket for larger coins only, and if I'm only carrying a few coins, I simply keep them lose in my pocket instead.
As you can see, there are a few specific design decisions which work to eliminate wallet thickness and to improve the footprint in your pocket. The Note Sleeve takes this a step further by providing a pocket for carrying small amounts of coin. Thanks to Bellroy's design, the Note Sleeve largely succeeds at doing everything, all at once.
The Note Sleeve is the first wallet that allows me to carry everything I need each day, without being overly large and uncomfortable. Manitoba health cards, for instance, are inordinate shaped and are necessary in case of an emergency. That health card never properly fit in my prior wallets and I'm thankful to have it on me in case its information is necessary.
The Note Sleeve can carry international currency painlessly. Does this change things for me each day? No. But I'm glad to know I don't need to go looking for a different sized wallet the next time we fly over the ocean.
The Note Sleeve's coin pocket is good for carrying smaller business cards which need to be kept in proper shape, or for carrying spare SD cards for your camera. I gravitate toward the latter option, often preferring to keep a backup in my wallet just in case.
I use the less apparent card slot to hide my drivers license. It's extremely accessible if need be, but a little less obvious than being the first card you see.
The hidden card slot in the currency slot is perfect for a drivers license. The slot is relatively hidden, but is perfect for quick access if you are asked for your identification.
The Note Sleeve, like all Bellroy offerings, has very little branding. There is a simple stamped Bellroy logo up front and another logo stamped into the pull tab. Although I chose a more funky colorway, I'm glad the branding is subdued.
I often pull out the Note Sleeve and hold the wallet in this manner, with the card slots facing horizontally. You can also see here how the card slots on the right (or bottom, in the case of this photo) are positioned fairly high up towards the top of the wallet. It's an asymmetrical look which kind of bugs me.
I prefer to hold the Note Sleeve vertically (so it flips upward) and then slide cards out towards the right. The wallet fits nicely in my palm and feels quite natural to use in this manner.
The two card slots on the right half of the Note Sleeve are positioned very closely to the very top of the wallet. The top of my second credit card actually touches the stitching at the top of the leather. Not only does it look odd and asymmetrical, I've found the two cards on the right side to slide out a little ways on occasion. If you shake the wallet hard, they can even fall out.
The spine of the Note Sleeve has a hole where the normal bi-fold wallet design does not. This means extra coins or small trinkets (like, say, a spare SIM card) can't be kept in the currency slot without falling out in the middle.
The wallet quickly conforms to the shape you keep it in in your pocket. It also conforms to the shape of what is kept inside. If you keep coins in the coin pocket and sit on your wallet for a long road trip, that coin circle will be stamped into that leather for a while to come.
These are just a few observations I've had in my time with the Note Sleeve. I greatly appreciate how it has brought together the thin, light, minimal Dosh Aero money clip and the thicker, heavier, Costanza-like Roots wallet to create a very successful middle-of-the-road.
Wallets are different things to different people. Some people have an intense pride in bringing along only that which they absolutely need, and not a penny more. Others hoard every receipt and gift card they come across, only to throw them out upon an annual cleansing.
Bellroy's Note Sleeve comes in at $90 USD ($110 CDN) and fits right in between the standard bi-fold design and thinner, lighter money clips or slim wallets. It's not without its quirks, but this is a fine option for those who need a little bit of hoarding and a little bit of minimalism.
I find myself largely in between those two needs. I don't care to carry five different reloadable gift cards if I know I won't be visiting said store during the day, yet I need a place to stash a few receipts if necessary and I certainly want to have my medical cards on hand if an emergency arises. Further, cash is still king, and our polymer Canadian bills don't fold all that well. In my mind, this largely eliminates the opportunity to use any of Bellroy's super slim options, even though those designs are equally as impressive.
On top of all this, the Bellroy Note Sleeve is a relatively affordable option. I remember raising an eyebrow the first time I saw the $90 USD ($110 CDN) price tag, but it's amazing how hard it is to find a high quality leather product for less than that these days. If you want a leather wallet to last you at least five to ten years, you're going to spend $100 no matter what. Considering the design process, the innovations within, and the fact you'll use this wallet every single day, that $90 price tag becomes far easier to swallow.

Reflections on the future of the OECD
By Ron Gass*
The OECD has transformed itself into a policy pathleader on a whole range of public policies–national, regional and local–with the avowed aim of promoting human progress. But is the new OECD a child or a prisoner of its past?
To answer this, one must understand the institutional alchemy that has enabled the OECD to reinvent itself as the global problematique has changed. After five years of research, Carroll and Kellow have hit the nail on the head. The defining character of the OECD, they say, is the deep involvement of the committees of national delegates in the search for "truth". As a senior Japanese diplomat once said, "When I participate in the meetings of other international organisations, my mind is in the negotiating mode; when I come to the OECD, I am in thinking mode."
On the national scene, the mere act of getting strategic new issues on the table meets political obstacles. On the OECD scene, there is more freedom to test out new policy options, to bring them the point of best practice and then to bring to bear the various "name and shame" procedures which result (in the words of Carroll and Kellow) in "epistemic learning".
One can understand those critics who would like to see more OECD "hard" legislation, as, for example, in the case of the World Trade Organization, and the International Labour Organization. Although the OECD has legally-binding codes and conventions, it operates mostly according to the "soft power" of peer pressure and persuasion. This has merit. Legislation will often be based on hindsight rather than foresight. And the complexity and political sensitivity of the policy trade-offs between economic, environmental and social objectives gives soft power an advantage, particularly as new countries become important partners in the global economy.
From economic growth to human progress?
A striking example of this OECD soft power is the humanisation of material progress implicit in the dominant OECD communications slogan: "Better policies for better lives". A life, after all, belongs to the individual rather than the system.
When the OECD was born economic growth was the central goal. Indeed, the competition between countries to win the GDP battle still dominates the scene today, as the emerging economies take the lead from the United States, Europe and Japan.
Yet, it is clear that, even for the economic growth leaders such as China, India and Brazil, the pursuit of economic growth cannot ignore building social cohesion and environmental equilibrium. This triangular policy paradigm, built up over 50 years of professional analysis and policy innovation, is still one of the OECD's major assets. This is reflected in the declared OECD aim of "a stronger, cleaner and fairer economy".
The triangular paradigm was built up, step by step, by the professional work of OECD committees and directorates.The OECD thus has a reserve of policy innovations, ready to be brought into the mainstream strategy of the organisation as defined by the Ministerial Council and the secretary-general.
The persisting crisis in the global economy has made clear the systemic complexity of the problems. No longer can the underlying assumption be that the three legs of the OECD policy paradigm–economic, social and environmental–move forward together. Economic growth is obviously essential to the achievement of social and environmental goals, but it can also come into conflict with these goals. Strategic governance and a new analytical toolbox would help deal with trade-offs and synergies.
From "rich men's club" to global actor?
A special issue of the Global Policy journal sets out the views of a range of independent observers. On the whole, the opinion appears to be that the OECD is now a recognised global player because of the high quality of its professional analysis and the data banks on which it is based. The OECD is becoming, in this view, a sort of global think tank. But it is also deeply involved in the policy innovation process.
The real issue is whether "speaking truth to power" (in the terms of Carroll and Kellow) is effective in the present crisis. One answer lies in the various OECD reports delivered to the G8 and G20 meetings on the crisis. The simple truth is that all the major actors in the world economy are faced with the same challenges: how to achieve a sustainable path of progress based on a complex balance between economic growth, social cohesion and the husbandry of the biosphere. What is new is that there are no credible theoretical or ideological roadmaps to guide policy action. Francis Fukuyama's "end of history" prediction that the fall of the Berlin Wall meant the final victory of liberal capitalism has been eclipsed by the new crisis. In this uncertain situation, the OECD's capacity for policy innovation has a key role to play in the volatile arena of international co-operation. This is a task facing the New Approaches to Economic Challenges initiative, launched by the 2012 OECD Ministerial Council.
To the OECD's professional expertise and intellectual independence can be added a tradition of openness, as reflected in its large publishing programme, the OECD Observer, blogs, and its interactions with businesses, labour unions and civil societies. All citizens can benefit from the results of OECD work via the web and other forums. Its fight against corruption and tax havens testifies to its political neutrality while its new OECD Strategy on Development has emphasised a more comprehensive and inclusive approach to global progress. The "rich men's club" tag is losing its force.
The international community is faced with two major challenges: security and progress. The two are obviously linked, because in the long run only inclusive progress–englobing poor and rich nations–can thwart the clash of civilizations as predicted by Huntington. Yet, the public's confidence in "progress", seen as the human race's capacity to master nature through science and thereby to promote affluence and power, has declined. The challenge is now to redefine "progress" recognising that economic growth is a sine qua non, but not an open sesame. The OECD's strategy expressed by the communications slogan, "Better policies for better lives", and going beyond GDP as a measure of well-being, are a good start.
The OECD's capacity to renew itself is the result of the unique organisational culture born in the Organisation for European Economic Cooperation from which it was forged in 1961. Again, it must carry that quality forward into the 21st century.
The complex challenges facing the "new" OECD can only be met through soft power. In a sense, the word has to prevail over the sword! Arnold Toynbee, after a lifetime's work on the rise and fall of civilizations, postulated that mastery of production techniques leads to affluence and power, but to fail to meet social and environmental challenges leads to decline. Toynbee is thus on the OECD's side!
But OECD soft power cannot bear fruit unless its communications strategies influence decisionmakers and the citizenry across the world. The public image of "the experts" is a vital asset, and selling it widely, while sustaining it, is a delicate communications imperative.

Frightened Rabbit - Swim Until You Can't See Land
by Anthony Middleton
published: 12 / 12 / 2009
Label: Fat Cat Records
Format: 7"
Riverting string-accompanied latest vinyl only single from Scottish indie rock group, Frightened Rabbit
Frightened Rabbit have made a short career out of honest, hard-hitting songs that look at life through eyes of people who are on the edge. With this single the predicament they are looking at is more obvious from the outset. From dipping a toe into the North Sea, to being knee deep in water to being nearly out of sight of land, this is not usual territory and is one that is intelligently and bravely handled. Not many singers are willing to put themselves in the place of such a desperate protagonist and not many do it with the total sincerity that Scott Hutchison does. This time last year I reviewed 'It's Christmas So I'll Stop' about a truce in family warfare over the festive turkey. This year we have someone trying to get to Norway without a ferry. There is no emoting here however, more matter of fact simplicity with spare, direct lyrics. This is about trying to get away from everything, rebirth, maybe even death. The music is a departure for the band with a pulsating string accompaniment that swells as the song crescendos, creating a euphoria perfectly matching the expression of freedom in the lyrics. Frightened Rabbit have a new album and tour to come early in the New Year and on the basis of this single it could be a momentous year for them.

Words are very powerful. Whether spoken or written, words can influence people and they can persuade them to take action. Depending on how they are used, words will either have a positive or negative impact.
On the internet, the written word needs to be clear as it is the only way you have to communicate, whether creating an article or blog post or writing sales copy on your website. Your message can be delivered with more impact based purely on how you choose to communicate to your readers and your unique choice of words.
In writing content or copy for your website, starting with a good title is a must. The title, also called the headline, needs to grab the attention of the reader and provide an insight into what your site or article is all about. The purpose of the headline is to be creative and catchy enough to encourage your visitor to continue reading the next line.
You have to keep in mind that most visitors will just scan a web page first. If you have not grabbed them "at hello", chances are they will quickly lose interest, move on to the next article or click away from your website.
A headline needs to be specific but should not be too long. Avoid general titles. In other words, you have to have a target market in mind to ensure your headline is clear, consice and delivers your message. Write a great headline first and you will find it easier to write your article or website copy or content.
An ideal technique in creating a headline that stands out is to write out several of them first and see which one sounds the best. What feels right to you? Try going back to it several times to check your choice of words and how they are structured. Edit it a number of times to determine which one will have a greater impact on your readers and deliver the message you are looking to convey. Doing this ensures that your headline is crisp and clear.
Let's take a few examples. The title "Writing Blogs is Fun", for instance, is quite general. It says what you are trying to say, but if you look at another interesting angle for your topic, you can make a bigger impact.
When people, especially those who love to write, read this headline there is enough of a hook to encourage them to read on and find out how to earn money through blogs or posting on blogs. What type of "hook" can you include in your next headline to attract the attention of your target market?
So remember, creating a specific headline that will grab attention will take some time, a little effort and a dash of creativity. Continue to practice to hone your writing skills and you're on your way to establishing a following of regular readers.

Q: Split every array element and transform to multiple dimenssion array? I have an array POST after submited the form:
$POST = Array
(
    [29#487_Mon] => 90,
    [29#487_Mon_power] => 50,
    [30#487_Thur]=>80,
    [30#487_Thur_power]=>90,
    [41#487_Wed]=>10,
    [41#487_Wed_power]=>20,

)

And I want is transform the $POST array to more friendly format that look like this:
$Transform = array(
    [29]=>array(
            [487_Mon] => 90,
            [487_Mon_power] => 50
            ),
    [30]=>array(
            [487_Thur]=>80,
            [487_Thur_power]=>90
            ),
    [41]=>array(
            [487_Wed]=>10,
            [487_Wed_power]=>20
            )
    )

Anyone Know how to do this?

A: As pointed out by @Gordon in the comment, additionally, you can do it by:
<?php
$Transform = array();
foreach($POST as $key => $val){
 $key_parts = explode("#", $key); //spliting 29#487_Mon to 29 and 487_Mon
 /*
 $key_parts[0] = 29
 $key_parts[1] = 487_Mon
 */
 $Transform[$key_parts[0]][$key_parts[1]] = $val;
}
echo  '
';
print_r($Transform);
echo  '
';
?>

See Demo

A: This is expanding on what @Gordon said. If @Gordon wishes to submit his comment as an answer, I will retract my answer.
Tested and works
<?
    if( $_POST['submit'] ) {
        echo "
";
        print_r( $_POST );
        echo "
";
    }
?>

<form action="" method="post">
    <input type="text" name="29[487_Mon]"/>
    <input type="text" name="29[487_Mon_power]"/>

    <input type="text" name="30[487_Thur]"/>
    <input type="text" name="30[487_Thur_power]"/>

    <input type="text" name="41[487_Wed]"/>
    <input type="text" name="41[487_Wed_power]"/>

    <input type="submit" name="submit" />
</form>

HMS Woolwich  was a depot ship and destroyer tender built for the Royal Navy during the 1930s. The ship was initially deployed to support destroyers of the Mediterranean Fleet. During World War II, she was assigned to the Home, Mediterranean and Eastern Fleets. She briefly returned home in 1946, but rejoined the Mediterranean Fleet the following year. Woolwich permanently returned to the United Kingdom in 1948 where she became a maintenance and accommodation ship. The ship was sold for scrap in 1962.

Description
Woolwich had an overall length of , a beam of , and a draught of  at deep load. She normally displaced  and  at (full load). Each of the ship's two sets of Parsons geared steam turbines drove one propeller shaft. Steam was supplied by four Admiralty three-drum water-tube boilers. The turbines were rated at  and gave Woolwich a speed of . The ship carried  of fuel oil, which gave her a range of  at . Her crew numbered 666 officers and ratings.

She was initially armed with four quick-firing (QF) four-inch Mk V gun on single high-angle mounts amidships. The  gun mount had a maximum elevation of +80 degrees, and the gun could fire a  projectile with a muzzle velocity of  to a maximum height of  or a range of . They had a rate of fire of about 15 rounds per minute. The guns were controlled by a High Angle Control System (HACS) fire-control director mounted above the bridge. To resupply her destroyers, the ship carried seventy-two  torpedoes and 200 depth charges.

During World War II, Woolwichs anti-aircraft armament was reinforced by two QF two-pounder light anti-aircraft (AA) guns in single mounts on the forecastle. The gun fired a   shell at a muzzle velocity of  to a distance of . The gun's rate of fire was approximately 96–98 rounds per minute. Four Oerlikon 20 mm guns in single mounts were also fitted as well as two quadruple Vickers .50 machine gun mounts.

Several radars were added during the war. A Type 285 gunnery radar was mounted on top of the HACS director and a Type 271/73 surface search radar was installed abaft the two-pounder guns on the forecastle.

Woolwichs main deck consisted of  armour plate over the machinery spaces and her platform deck was  thick over the magazines.

Construction and service
The ship was ordered on 4 April 1933 as part of the 1932 Naval Construction Programme. She was laid down by Fairfield Shipbuilding and Engineering Company in Govan on the River Clyde on 24 May 1933. Woolwich was launched on 20 September 1934 and completed on 28 June 1935. She was deployed to the Mediterranean after completion and was in Alexandria at the beginning of World War II in September 1939. The ship returned home and was based at Scapa Flow supporting destroyers of the Home Fleet by mid-1940. Woolwich sailed again for the Mediterranean in September; while circumnavigating Africa, she had to put into Mombasa, Kenya for repairs to her boilers before she arrived in Alexandria in November.

In mid-June 1942, Vice-Admiral Henry Harwood, Commander-in-Chief, Mediterranean Fleet, ordered all non-essential ships to leave Alexandria as he was preparing to demolish the port facilities there to prevent their capture by the advancing Panzer Army Africa. Woolwich and the repair ship , escorted by six destroyers, were transferred south of the Suez Canal until the victory at the Second Battle of El Alamein in October allowed them to return to Alexandria. She remained there until late 1943 when she was assigned to the Eastern Fleet and based at Trincomalee for the rest of the war.

Woolwich sailed back to England in 1946, but rejoined the Mediterranean Fleet the following year where she served as flagship for the Flag Officer, Mediterranean Fleet Destroyers. The ship sailed from Valletta, Malta on 7 February 1948 for Harwich where she served as a maintenance and accommodation ship for reserve ships based there. Woolwich was refitted in Rosyth in 1952 and then transferred to Gare Loch to perform similar duties there. She was refitted again in Rosyth five years later and served as an accommodation ship in Devonport from 1958–1962. Woolwich was sold to Arnott Young in 1962 for scrap and arrived at Dalmuir, Scotland, on 18 October to be broken up.

Moist lemon cupcakes with sweet lemon curd filling and meringue frosting. A fun dessert for Spring celebrations!
It's the second week of April and we got snow. Not just flurries, like what happened not too long ago. Nope, this time it stuck. Not much, but enough that it covered everything in sight. We were finally seeing the yard! I'm not worried, just sick of Winter. The snow will be gone by the weekend when we're supposedly getting warmer temps for a short stretch.
I love New England. I truly do. I honestly can't picture living anywhere else. Okay, except for a tropical island but that's only realistic in an alternate universe. BUT… I'm tired of Winter. Plain. Tired of it.
I promise I won't complain about Summer heat once this year if we could just get warmer temps to finally stick around. Someone make that happen. Pretty please?
Something we can hopefully all agree on… cupcakes!
I can go seemingly forever without making another cupcake recipe and now there have been two within one month. That means one of two things… either more cupcake recipes will be pouring out of me in the not so distant future OR you won't see more for some time to come.
Everyone loves cupcakes. Right? Say yes.
These cupcakes scream Spring! It took a few tries to get these exactly how I wanted them to. And now they're perfect, which means you absolutely positively must make these lemon meringue cupcakes asap!
Moist and flavorful homemade lemon cupcakes with a sweet homemade lemon curd filling and for the finishing touch… a torched meringue frosting!
The perfect dessert for Spring! Add these fun and flavorful lemon meringue cupcakes to your Spring baking plans!
Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a cupcake pan with 8 liners.
In a small bowl, combine salt, baking powder and flour. Set aside.
In a large bowl or stand mixer, cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Mix in egg, lemon zest, lemon juice and vanilla until smooth. Scrape bowl as needed. Alternate spoonfuls of flour and sour cream, continuing to mix until batter is smooth and no streaks remain.
Divide batter between prepared baking cups, using a large cookie scoop or filling roughly 2/3 full.
Bake for 18-20 minutes or until cooked through and only a few moist crumbs cling to a toothpick. Cool on a wire rack.
Using a sharp knife or cupcake corer, remove the center of each cupcake, being sure to leave the bottom of the cupcake intact. Fill with lemon curd, using a spoon or pastry bag. Chill until ready to frost.
In a heatproof bowl set over simmering water, whisk together egg whites, sugar and cream of tartar, until egg whites are warm to the touch and sugar is dissolved. Mixture should be frothy. Remove from heat. Beat, using a hand mixer or stand mixer with whisk attachment, until glossy and stiff peaks form. Add vanilla in during last 30 seconds. Transfer to a large piping bag fit with desired piping tip. Pipe on chilled cupcakes. Lightly char frosting using a kitchen torch.
*Lemon curd can be made ahead and chilled until ready to use.
**If available, a metal bowl is recommended for preparing frosting.
Yes! I love cupcakes! Especially so beautiful..
Ugh you guys have had a tough winter! I agree – it's time for winter to move on out and spring can come any time now! These cupcakes look like a little burst of spring…so gorgeous!
I can only hope Spring will stick around for good sooner than later! And thank you!!
As a New Englander myself, I know how it feels to be bogged down by this cold. It's be a terrible winter. Good thing spring is on the way. This weekend should be in the 60s in Connecticut! These cupcakes are such a perfect spring treat. The photographs are absolutely beautiful.
I want to face plant into this cupcake.
These cupcakes are beautiful! So stunning and I love lemon meringue – in fact, I think you making these will usher spring into New England in no time. I have my sunny California fingers crossed for you!
This is such a cute idea! I love everything about these cupcakes. I will enjoy my sunny California weather for you, and hope you see some springtime soon!
I am a lemon addict and I'm sure I'd love these!!
Lemon Pie is my FAVOURITE….so these are a "must try" for sure. Now….when I make them I hope I get one or two before my hubby eats them LOL!!
These cupcakes look wonderful! Do you think it would work to brown the meringue frosting in the oven on broil since I don't have a kitchen torch?
I haven't personally tried that way, but I honestly don't see why not as long as you're careful and eye them closely. Good luck!
These look so nice I love lemon meringue, this is a must try..
I love Cupcakes and these Lemon Meringue ones look scrumptious! Thank you for a fab recipe and gorgeous photos – I love it when Cupcakes have a hidden centre!
How far ahead can I make these, with the meringue?
I don't have an exact answer for you as the temperature and humidity in and around your house will play a factor. But, they should do well for up to several days. I haven't tested them any longer than that.
You can easily make it several days or weeks ahead of time. Be sure to keep it covered well and chilled until ready to use.
These look amazing! Can they be made a day in advance? If so, what is the best way to store them? Thanks!
I can eat lemon curd by the spoonful. I love it and I LOVE these cupcakes!
Beautiful cupcakes! Do you need to refrigerate them after they're made?
I would recommend storing these cupcakes at room temperature.


At age 19, Eric Dishman was diagnosed with a rare form of kidney cancer. The prognosis: nine months to live. Thanks to early access to pioneering research in precision medicine, which clarified the best treatment plan for him, Eric is alive and well almost 25 years later. As you'll learn in this video, Eric now directs NIH's All of Us Research Program, which is enrolling 1 million or more Americans to build the foundation for the future of precision medicine.
If you'd like to volunteer for this landmark effort, go to the All of Us website, click the "Join Now" button, and follow the three easy steps. First, create an account. It's free and takes just a minute or two. Next, complete the enrollment and consent forms. That usually takes 30 minutes or less. Then, complete some baseline surveys and find out what to do next. Thank you!
Can you detail how the NIH plans to review all of this data and how it will be protected? And why wouldn't the NIH start like they did in the UK with looking at specific disease areas. The NIH could also learn from ResearchKit were institutions couldn't have anticipated so much data being submitted and having no way to review all of it to lead to meaningful reporting.
I've been waiting for information about the "all of us" program before I decide to participate. I have my genome info. and there is nothing that should prevent me from participating after I get more information. And please stop sending feel good stories about the objective of this project because that I understand already.


China-US Relations Forum at Tufts University. Organizers of the annual China-US Symposium.
Sino-U.S. Relations Group Engagement (SURGE) is a student run organization at Tufts University in Medford Massachusetts. Before the Fall of 2014, the group that is now called SURGE only occupied itself with running the yearly China-U.S Symposium and was run through the Tufts Institute for Global Leadership (IGL). SURGE still runs the Symposium, however we also organize other events such as weekly discussions on topics related to China and the U.S, guest lecture series, discussion groups and trivia game nights. All these events share one purpose: to increase knowledge about China-U.S relations as well as knowledge of the two countries.
1. Advance relations between the United States, other nations, and China, taking advantage of the diversity of experiences, backgrounds, and interests within the Tufts community.
2. Build a network of relationships between students from different backgrounds centered on a common interest in China-U.S. relations from an academic perspective, instead of a commercial or cultural one.
3. Organize events and other projects that foster a greater understanding of and create a community within Tufts for the discussion of China-U.S. relations.
4. Provide a forum to discuss current political and other events related to China, and to bring many perspectives and expertise into these issues.
5. To facilitate collaboration between the Tufts and Fletcher communities, in order to share knowledge, perspectives, and experiences.


Thaer Abdallah is a Palestinian artist and human rights advocate born in Baghdad but for Thaer, home is a very unsettled concept. As a Palestinian born in Iraq he could not claim Iraqi citizenship, hold a passport, vote or own property. After the fall of Saddam Hussein Thaer led a group of Palestinian refugees to Syria fleeing targeted attacks by Iraqi security forces and Shi'a militias. It was the beginning of years on the run - Iraq to Syria and back again. Cycles of prison, torture and deportations became the norm. In the midst of his dislocation, Thaer made a point of continuing to create art, teaching children in the Al Waleed Refugee Camp how to paint using the walls of their tents as canvases. "I have painted and drawn since I was a child when I discovered that art was a world so much larger than the one room which I shared with my parents and ten siblings. Today, I use art to express the pain and strength of my community in Baghdad and of those scattered as refugees in many corners of the world. Life does not stop, and it is still beautiful." Thaer arrived in Boston in 2008 where he makes his home and became a citizen in 2011.

Fewd Bite: Crystal Pepsi Returns! Oh My!
Fewd Snobs June 30, 2016 0 Comments
Fewd, Fewd Bites, Limited Time Only, New
From the land of "Why?," PepsiCo is bringing back Crystal Pepsi!
You remember Crystal Pepsi, right?
Back in the early '90s, Crystal Pepsi was introduced. It was basically just regular Pepsi, but clear in color. Fascinating! It lasted for less than two years. Nobody cared. Why? Because, why?? What's the point of drinking clear Pepsi?
Essentially, it was a marketing ploy to appeal to stupid young people (aren't most marketing ploys like this??). The young people of the early '90s said, "Like, wouldn't it be, like, so totally cool if, like, we had some clear Pepsi?" Pepsi answered the question. There was only one problem.
Nobody really cared.
Well, all things old become new again. Everything is about nostalgia, lately. For some time now, most of the "throwback" food items (and other stuff, too) has focused on the '60s and '70s. Maybe a little bit of the '80s thrown in for good measure.
Well, now the '90s are the thing for the cool crowd. Yay. And bringing back Crystal Pepsi fits right in.
According to AdvertisingAge, Linda Lagos (director of marketing for Pepsi) said, "Pepsi is all about pop culture and few things are as hot right now in pop culture as the 1990s."
Like, OH MY GAWD! Pepsi is, like, all about pop culture! Give us a fucking break. It's a soda maker that nobody gives a shit about anymore. People of all ages don't drink as much soda as they used to. That's all there is to it, kids.
So what is PepsiCo to do? Bring back retro crap! And bring out junk like this that we reviewed a while back.
Either way, Pepsi says the '90s are in. As if all this wasn't bad enough, Pepsi is releasing a video game called "The Crystal Pepsi Trail." It is Pepsi's twist of the old classic, "The Oregon Trail." And that's where this gets really goofy.
"The Oregon Trail," according to AdvertisingAge, has been around in one form or another since the 1970's.
OK. So what does this have to do with the '90s, when Crystal Pepsi came out??
It's obvious! Pepsi is trying to connect it to players that played it in the '90s! Screw the other decades it has been played! It's all about pop culture, yo!
Barfing yet? No? Well how about this…
The object of the game is to collect '90s items on the trail. There are references to stuff from the '90s throughout the game.
Remember that genius marketing person from earlier? She said the game is, "…a very authentic way to talk to these guys that are so into the 1990s. It was the original desktop time-suck before Facebook existed."
OK. We don't know how much more we can take. Pepsi has brought back a soda nobody cared about from the 1990s, and tied it in to (read desecrated it) a classic game that didn't even come out in the 1990s. Confused yet?? More beer needed!
Have slagging sales because people don't drink soda anymore? No problem! Just bring back a soda that lasted less than two years, bank on 1990s nostalgia, and tie it in with a video game that isn't even from the 1990s. Makes sense to us! Who is the target audience here? Millennials mostly don't even remember this stuff. Pepsi better hope that there are a LOT of people that remember and want Crystal Pepsi, and that also played "The Oregon Trail" while drinking it!
Seriously, companies spend money on marketing companies that come up with crap like this??
Look, we think retro stuff is cool. But if you're going to go retro, do it with something that people actually liked the first time! Spend some money on that, marketing geniuses!
It will be interesting to see how this goes the second time around. Get on it fast, people. Crystal Pepsi is back for only eight weeks. It will be available in 20 ounce bottles starting in Canada on July 7, and in the United States on August 8.
We will have a review on it for you when it comes out. Why not? Like, we're all about pop culture and the 90s, dude!

The DCI on ESPN2 broadcast is not just about giving drum corps fans one last taste of summer greatness; it's also about introducing the drum corps activity to folks who may never have been exposed to what we do. As a comparatively small niche activity, we all have a responsibility to be ambassadors of drum corps, to educate people about what we do and why the drum corps activity is a positive thing (besides all those really cool drum breaks). The best advertisement is you – the living, breathing, in-the-flesh participant, the instant expert on all things drum corps. Always be aware that you may be the only impression someone gets of our activity, and treat such occasions accordingly. Here are a few ideas on ways to be a positive representative of the drum corps community.
1. Leave the ego on the field. It's a fantastic thing to be proud of what you accomplished over the summer. After all, you worked hard, and you should be proud for that! It's totally appropriate to bask in the glow of your family and friends' adoration when you get home from tour. But within a week or two, it's time to drop the hero act – your friends won't like drum corps very much if it turned their buddy into a raging egomaniac. But if your friends see the same nice person, maybe even a little more humble, hardworking, dependable and responsible, then that's a pretty awesome advertisement for the activity. 2. Be a good marching band member. This goes right along with #1. There are any number of high school and college marching band directors that might see their students come back from drum corps tour with inflated egos on the field. The most appreciated drum corps vets are the ones that come back and quietly lead by example. Turn your drum corps expertise into a positive for your band program, rather than a negative, and your director will be a huge drum corps fan. 3. Educate ... politely. News flash: most of the wider world doesn't have a clue what drum corps is. So when you're talking about what you did this summer, and someone says, "Drum corps? What's that? Is it like summer marching band or something?" Don't roll your eyes, sigh in a long-suffering manner, or get offended. Smile, chuckle a bit, and just be glad they took enough interest to ask. Draw comparisons. Say, "Yes, it's a bit like marching band, just a little more intense." Any opportunity to talk to someone new about drum corps is an opportunity to make a first impression about the activity. By being polite and enthusiastic, you can ensure that that first impression is a good one. 4. Recruit, recruit, recruit! When you go home and wax rhapsodic about the virtues of your corps, the fantastic members, the hard-working administration, the amazing show, and the awesome staff, others will naturally be attracted to such a successful organization. If you had an awesome time and think your corps is the best on the planet, naturally you want your friends to come and have awesome experiences alongside you! So bolster the drum corps dreams of your friends by encouraging them to come to the first camp with you. It's a lot easier to face a new experience if there's a familiar face by your side. 5. Share your struggles as well as your triumphs. A lot of fans forget that what they see on the World Championships DVDs is the product of three or so months of grueling rehearsal and training; they only see the gorgeous finished product. And that's a pretty intimidating thing, if you're interested in doing it one day. So don't be afraid to share your stories of how hard it was to perfect one particular drill move in the show, how you struggled with your backward march technique or playing split runs with the bass drum line, how it took you all of everyday rehearsals to keep your horn up for the whole music block. Sometimes those uniforms have a way of making us look like Supermen and –women. Make sure everyone knows that humans are welcome, too. 6. Sugarcoat it. Let's be honest: if you told most people they'd be rehearsing six or eight hours a day in the blazing sun, they wouldn't be too interested. Drum corps has a way of sounding physically grueling– and that sometimes makes it unattractive. Most of us who convinced ourselves to march did so by very determinedly not thinking about the daily reality of what we were signing up for. Be kind enough not to inflict others with the nitty-gritty before they get there. We all know the incredible experience once you're in the middle of it. Give the uninitiated the chance to find that out for themselves too.7. Share the DVD wealth. Just because the DCI on ESPN2 broadcast is past doesn't mean the drum corps parties need to end! Break out the DVDs in the middle of October, get some friends together, and spend the evening eating pizza and arguing whether Blue Devils or Phantom Regiment had the best show in 1996. Doing something like that three to four weeks before the November audition dates can be just the little boost someone needs to decide to go for the dream. Don't forget to talk about how much fun you had this summer, how much you can't wait to go to audition camp in November and see your friends, and how you hear that next year's show is just awesome. Having a good time as a community, as a family, is really the essence of drum corps. Why not do that at home, too? 8. Educate ... constructively. If you happen to see someone struggling in the practice room or on the marching field with a particular skill, it's entirely appropriate to mention that you had trouble with that exact thing and one of your techs showed you this awesome trick or exercise to fix it. The key here is one-on-one contact, and an approach of a shared struggle rather than high-handed instruction. But drum corps is about education, and about sharing information to help young people be better musicians, marchers, and citizens, and we would be remiss if we didn't take that home and spread around some of the love – as long as we're doing so in a humble and respectful manner, truly in the spirit of sharing. 9. Wear it with pride. Go ahead – wear your corps jacket, necklace, or tour T-shirt! It's a great way to advertise the pride you feel in being associated with a particular group, and it's a great way to get people to ask you what "that whole drum corps thing is about." It can also serve as a reminder to you of the hard work you put in over the summer, and motivate you to display the same attributes you cultivate during the drum corps season once you're home. Be aware that just as if you were wearing your group's uniform, the impression you make will be the impression that person has of the entire group. Be sure it's a good one! 10. Be successful off the field.
When someone is successful, everyone wants to know their secret. Conversely, when someone fails miserably, everybody else wants to stay the heck away from whatever made them that way! Be the shining example so that when your friend tells his mom s/he wants to march in a drum corps, Mom says, "Oh, yes, that's that thing that your friend Joe does, isn't it? And he makes such good grades, and he's so polite and hardworking. Well, okay then." Even in the non-June Cleaver world, it's fantastic advertisement for the activity if you come home and apply the lessons learned on the field and the bus to your normal life, and are able to be terrifically successful as a person and student as well as drum corps member.

Brent Sutter works in his Red Deer Rebels office ahead of the 2016 MasterCard Memorial Cup.
On the verge of hosting the 2016 Memorial Cup, one of the biggest weeks in franchise history, Red Deer Rebels owner/president/general manager/head coach Brent Sutter caught wind of some unsettling rumours around town.
"Dean Williams (Rebels VP of marketing and sales) was in the grocery store… he was just in there for a short period of time and he said he had three people come up wanting to know if (I) had sold the team," Sutter said.
Sutter said he's heard the rumours before, but never as bad as the last four to six weeks. This time they've taken on a life of their own.
"Final straw for me was actually some of the (Memorial Cup) committee members were coming up and saying, 'Geez Brent, you know, in the business sector people are wanting to know have you sold the team? Are you selling it? Or has it been sold?'" said Sutter, who has owned the Rebels since 1999.
Sutter still isn't sure where these most recent rumours came from, but wanted to make sure he "squashed" them as quickly as possible.

Sutter admits he has had people inquire about purchasing the team, but has he approached anyone else?
The Rebels have been a fixture in central Alberta since Sutter purchased the team in 1999. Since then they've invested a lot of time and money into the team and the building they play in, the Enmax Centrium at Westerner Park.
"We've built this program, this organization, to where it is. I've put a lot back into this community, I've put a lot back into this facility to make sure it's a top-notch facility for our fans that come here and our sponsors," Sutter said.
In the meantime, Sutter and company are focused on trying to win the second Memorial Cup title in franchise history. The last one came in 2001 in Regina.
The Rebels open the tournament Friday night against the Ontario Hockey League champion London Knights.

Salmon rivers threatened by invasive Asian clams
Thursday, July 22, 2010 - 03:56 PM
One of the world's most dangerous invasive species is threatening to devastate top salmon rivers, experts warned today.
The harmless-looking Asian clam, which forms a carpet of shells on the river bed, has been found in the Nore and Barrow in Kilkenny and Carlow.
Dr Joe Caffrey, Inland Fisheries Ireland senior research officer, said it has the potential to be the most dangerous invasive species in the country.
"If we are to win the battle against invasive species, we must be biosecurity aware and actively stop the spread of these pernicious species.
"The Asian clam probably represents one of the most potentially damaging invasive species to reach our shores. It is imperative that every action to bring it under control is taken."
In the US, the Asian clam (Corbicula fluminea) causes an estimated $1bn (€770m) of damage every year.
The small creature can keep out all other life with the potential to destroy salmon, brown trout and sea lamprey populations.
It has been found in dense populations, with almost 10,000 clams per metre in the River Barrow and further populations in 7km sections of the river downstream of St Mullins.
Intensive surveys are to be carried out on the Nore, Barrow and Suir over the coming weeks to track the clam's spread.

A few months ago I shared the news that my friend Jodi and I were working on a book together. As we finished the project and were talking with our publisher we realized that we really had two books! The first Super-Make-It book will be Candy Aisle Crafts. It features 59 food craft ideas using everyday edible items, step by step photos, and a foreword by Martha Stewart. It is hard to believe, but in two weeks (August 26th) it will be in stores.
For a sneak peek, Jodi has shared a few ideas on our blog. You can pre-order a copy of Candy Aisle Crafts online now at Indiebound, Amazon, and Barnes & Noble.

Karriere

Vereine
Köhn begann seine Karriere beim SuS 09 Dinslaken. Danach spielte der ehemalige Stürmer zwischen 2005 und 2007 beim MSV Duisburg. 2007 kam er in die Jugend des FC Schalke 04, in der er bis 2013 spielte. Zur Saison 2013/14 wechselte er zum VfB Stuttgart. Im November 2013 spielte er gegen den Karlsruher SC erstmals für die B-Junioren von Stuttgart in der Bundesliga. In der Saison 2014/15 wurde er mit Stuttgarts B-Jugend Vizemeister, nachdem man den Meisterschaftsfinal gegen Borussia Dortmund verloren hatte.

Im August 2015 debütierte Köhn gegen Eintracht Frankfurt für die U-19-Mannschaft von Stuttgart in der A-Junioren-Bundesliga. Zur Saison 2017/18 wechselte er zu RB Leipzig, wo er einen Vierjahresvertrag erhielt. In jener Saison stand er jedoch kein einziges Mal im Spieltagskader der Leipziger.

Daraufhin wechselte Köhn im Juli 2018 zum österreichischen Bundesligisten FC Red Bull Salzburg, bei dem er einen bis Mai 2022 laufenden Vertrag erhielt. Zunächst spielte er jedoch für das Farmteam FC Liefering in der 2. Liga, für das er im September 2018 gegen den SKU Amstetten erstmals zum Einsatz kam. Bis Saisonende kam er zu zwölf Einsätzen in der 2. Liga.

Nach einer Spielzeit ohne absolviertes Spiel wurde er zur Saison 2020/21 in die Schweiz an den Zweitligisten FC Wil verliehen. Für Wil kam er bis zum Ende der Leihe zu 32 Einsätzen in der Challenge League. Nach einer Saison als Stammtorhüter kehrte Köhn nach dem Ende der Leihe zur Saison 2021/22 nach Salzburg zurück.

Im November 2021 wurde er erstmals in das Kader der A-Nationalmannschaft berufen. Ohne ein Spiel für die Eidgenossen absolviert zu haben, wurde er 2022 in den Schweizer Kader für die Weltmeisterschaft berufen. Beim Turnier, bei dem die Schweiz das Achtelfinale erreichte, kam er nicht zum Einsatz.

"To be habitable, a planet needs warmth, water, and it needs to be sheltered from a young, violent Sun," says lead author Jose-Dias Do Nascimento of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics (CfA) and University of Rio G. do Norte (UFRN), Brazil.
Like other stars its age, Kappa Ceti is very magnetically active. Its surface is blotched with many giant starspots, like sunspots but larger and more numerous. It also propels a steady stream of plasma, or ionized gases, out into space. The research team found that this stellar wind is 50 times stronger than our Sun's solar wind.
The team modeled the strong stellar wind of Kappa Ceti and its effect on a young Earth. The early Earth's magnetic field is expected to have been about as strong as it is today, or slightly weaker. Depending on the assumed strength, the researchers found that the resulting protected region, or magnetosphere, of Earth would be about one-third to one-half as large as it is today.
"The early Earth didn't have as much protection as it does now, but it had enough," says Do Nascimento.
Kappa Ceti also shows evidence of "superflares" -- enormous eruptions that release 10 to 100 million times more energy than the largest flares ever observed on our Sun. Flares that energetic can strip a planet's atmosphere. By studying Kappa Ceti, researchers hope to learn how frequently it produces superflares, and therefore how often our Sun might have erupted in its youth.
This research has been accepted for publication in The Astrophysical Journal Letters and is available online. This set of Kappa Ceti observations were part of the Bernard Lyot Telescope's Bcool Large Program.

The design of the Moon side table is inspired by the Lunar schedule. In the Chinese culture, the shapes of the moon are associated with the ups and downs of life. On the 15th day of the 8th month of the lunar calendar, the moon is full and the round shape symbolizes family reunion. In the Chinese minds, the moon does wax and the moon does wane, and so men meet and say goodbye.
The Moon side table is composed of a circle table top and three legs. Each leg has a half circle cutout from square shape. The three legs joint together at the center of the table top, at the same time the half circle cutouts form a shape of sphere. When the table turns, the sphere changes its shape just like the moon changes its shape based on the lunar schedule. There are 8-digit numbers either engraved or printed vertically on the table legs. The numbers represent the time of the full moon (or first quarter) of the month the table was made. When you look at the number straight on, it is the angle the table forms the shape of the "full moon"(pink side table) or the shape of the "first quarter moon" (blue side table). The time the table was made is encrypted on the table. There are three material options for the side tables: painted MDF, solid wood and quartz.
The design of the Moon side table not only focuses on the simplicity and functionality of a furniture piece, but also brings fun to daily life that reminds the user about the life, nature and craftsmanship.
