  • “Until That Song Is Born”: an Ethnographic Investigation of Teaching and Learning Among Collaborative Songwriters in Nashville
    “UNTIL THAT SONG IS BORN”: AN ETHNOGRAPHIC INVESTIGATION OF TEACHING AND LEARNING AMONG COLLABORATIVE SONGWRITERS IN NASHVILLE By Stuart Chapman Hill A DISSERTATION Submitted to Michigan State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Music Education—Doctor of Philosophy 2016 ABSTRACT “UNTIL THAT SONG IS BORN”: AN ETHNOGRAPHIC INVESTIGATION OF TEACHING AND LEARNING AMONG COLLABORATIVE SONGWRITERS IN NASHVILLE By Stuart Chapman Hill With the intent of informing the practice of music educators who teach songwriting in K– 12 and college/university classrooms, the purpose of this research is to examine how professional songwriters in Nashville, Tennessee—one of songwriting’s professional “hubs”—teach and learn from one another in the process of engaging in collaborative songwriting. This study viewed songwriting as a form of “situated learning” (Lave & Wenger, 1991) and “situated practice” (Folkestad, 2012) whose investigation requires consideration of the professional culture that surrounds creative activity in a specific context (i.e., Nashville). The following research questions guided this study: (1) How do collaborative songwriters describe the process of being inducted to, and learning within, the practice of professional songwriting in Nashville, (2) What teaching and learning behaviors can be identified in the collaborative songwriting processes of Nashville songwriters, and (3) Who are the important actors in the process of learning to be a collaborative songwriter in Nashville, and what roles do they play (e.g., gatekeeper, mentor, role model)? This study combined elements of case study and ethnography. Data sources included observation of co-writing sessions, interviews with songwriters, and participation in and observation of open mic and writers’ nights.

  • Tire Maintenance Manual
    TIRE MAINTENANCE MANUAL To The Owner/Operator Off-the-road tires are expensive pieces of equipment They are engineered and built with massive strength to support today’s equipment. This equipment is carrying ever increasing heavier loads at higher speeds and over longer dis- tances than ever before. Years of research and development have resulted in tires that can offer long service lives under these conditions. High strength carcasses have been developed to offer more load carrying capacity. New, tougher, higher quality components have improved durability. Improved rubber technology has helped to improve carcass durability, tread wear and hazard resistance ability. Still, there is a limit to the abuse and punishment any tire will take. Too many end up on a scrap pile because operators ignore common sense driving and operational practices. Others go out of service prematurely because they were not properly maintained. This manual, based on long term, extensive OTR field experience and practice, is designed to provide the information needed to help achieve maximum service life for both the end user and the equipment manufacturer. If followed, these recommendations will also help lower ton mile or tonne kilometer costs, improve equipment productivity and promote operating profits.

  • Safety Warnings and Maintenance Information
    SAFETY WARNINGS AND MAINTENANCE INFORMATION IMPORTANT SAFETY AND MAINTENANCE INFORMATION The tire industry has long recognized the consumer's role in the regular care and maintenance of their tires. When a tire is replaced is a decision for which the owner of the tire is responsible. The consumer should consider factors to include chronological age, service conditions, maintenance history, storage conditions, visual inspections, and dynamic performance. The consumer should consult a tire service professional with any questions about tire service life. The following information and recommendations are made to aid in assessing the point of maximum service life The Chronological Age of the Tires The chronological age of any tire can be found on the tire sidewall by examining the characters following the symbol "DOT" For tires manufactured after the year 1999, the last four numbers identify the date of manufacture of the tire to the nearest week. The first two of these four numbers identify the week of manufacture (which range from "01" to "52"). The last two numbers identify the year of manufacture (e.g., a tire with the information "DOT XXXXXX0100" was manufactured in the 1 st week of 2000). For tires manufactured prior to the year 2000, three numbers instead of four indicate the date of manufacture. Also, during the early 1990's, CTNA added a triangle ◄))) to the end of the character string to distinguish a tire built in the 1990's from previous decades (e.g., a tire with the information "DOT XXXXXX274 ◄ was manufactured in the 27th week of 1994). THE CHRONOLOGICAL AGE OF THE TIRES Tires are designed and built to provide many thousands of miles of excellent service.

  • Comments of the Rubber Manufacturers Association On
    Comments of the Rubber Manufacturers Association on Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking on Tire Sidewall Labeling Requirements National Highway Traffic Safety Administration U. S. Department of Transportation Docket No. NHTSA-00-6296-// 30 January, 2001 Staff Contact Steven Butcher, Vice President Technical and Standards Rubber Manufacturers Association 1400 K Street, N.W. Washington, D.C. 20005 I. Introduction The Rubber Manufacturers Association (“RMA”) is a national trade association representing the domestic tire and rubber products manufacturing industry. RMA’s tire industry members include every major U.S. tire manufacturer: Bridgestone/Firestone, Inc., Continental Tire North America Inc., Cooper Tire & Rubber Company, Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company, Michelin North America, Pirelli Tire North America, and Yokohama Tire Corporation. There are over 1 billion tires in use on our nation’s highways and these manufacturers produce approximately 90 percent of them. They operate 40 manufacturing facilities and employ almost 160,000 people in . this country. Tire design and production involves sophisticated engineering in product design, testing, manufacturing, and analysis. Designing and building today’s complex tires is no simple task. Producing a tire involves a combination of chemistry, physics, and engineering plus more than 200 raw materials including natural and synthetic rubbers, metals, fabrics, oils, pigments, and other chemicals. RMA is pleased to provide NHTSA with these comments regarding Docket No. NHTSA-OO- 8296, which, among other issues, specifically addressesthe information that tire manufacturers should be required to place on tire sidewall& Our comments addresstire labeling issues for passengercar tires and light truck tires (through load range E, or load index 124), plus motorcycle tires and recreational, boat, baggage, and special trailer tires.

  • Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
    L Tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM TPMS provides a low pressure warning and does not re-inflate your tires. Tire pressures should be checked regularly using an accurate pressure gauge when the tires are cold. TPMS can NOT register damage to a tire. Regularly check the condition of your tires, especially if the vehicle is driven off-road. Wheels fitted with a TPMS can be visually When inflating tires, care should be taken identified by the external metal lock nut to avoid bending or damaging the TPMS and valve (1).

  • Tire Tread Depth and Wet Traction – a Review

Reprint only with permission Tire Tread Depth and Wet Traction – A Review W. Blythe William Blythe, Inc. Palo Alto, California Introduction The relationship of tire tread depth to wet traction has been a subject of technical research and discussion since at least the mid 1960s. Now, nearly 50 years on, these discussions continue, and disagreements regarding the importance of improving wet traction also continue. During this time, bias-ply tires have been replaced by radial construction and, in the USA, highway speeds have increased; miles driven have approximately tripled. This Paper reviews research that strongly suggests an increase in minimum tire tread depth requirements would significantly and positively affect highway safety. Historical Data Radial tire wet frictional performance is compared to bias-ply tire performance in Figure 1, taken from [1], a 1967 Paper. Since radial tires comprise almost all passenger car tires in use, any conclusions relating to tire performance based upon bias-ply tires probably no longer are valid. In these braking tests of fully-treaded tires, water depth was controlled at ¼ inch. As an example of increased highway speeds, posted speed limits of 70 mph on “Interstate System and non-interstate system routes” changed in the USA from zero miles so posted in 1994 to 40,897 miles in 2000. [2] 1 Figure 1 – Radial vs Bias Ply Tires Braking Coefficients, ¼ Inch Water Depth, 1967 Figure 2 shows the estimated total miles driven on all USA roads per year from 1971 through 2013.
