Rudolf Kelterborn (ur. 3 września 1931 w Bazylei, zm. 24 marca 2021 tamże) – szwajcarski kompozytor.

Życiorys
W latach 1950–1952 uczył się w Musik-Akademie w Bazylei u Gustava Güldensteina i Walthera Geisera (kompozycja), Waltera Müllera von Kulma (teoria) oraz Alexandra Krannhalsa (dyrygentura). Studiował też muzykologię na Uniwersytecie Bazylejskim u Jacquesa Handschina. Po ukończeniu studiów pobierał prywatnie lekcje dyrygentury u Igora Markevitcha oraz kompozycji u Willy'ego Burkharda i Borisa Blachera. W 1955 roku odbył dodatkowe studia z kompozycji na Nordwestdeutsche Musikakademie w Detmold u Wolfganga Fortnera i Güntera Bialasa. W 1956 i 1960 roku był uczestnikiem Międzynarodowych Letnich Kursów Nowej Muzyki w Darmstadcie.

W latach 1955–1960 wykładał teorię w Musik-Akademie w Bazylei, następnie od 1960 do 1968 roku był wykładowcą teorii i kompozycji w Nordwestdeutsche Musikakademie w Detmold. W latach 1968–1975 i 1980-1983 wykładał w Musikhochschule w Zurychu. Od 1969 do 1974 roku pełnił funkcję redaktora naczelnego "Schweizerische Muzikzeitung". W latach 1974–1980 był szefem działu muzycznego Schweizer Radio DRS. Od 1980 do 1983 roku wykładał teorię i kompozycję w Staatliche Hochschule für Musik w Karlsruhe. Prowadził seminaria w Stanach Zjednoczonych, Wielkiej Brytanii, ZSRR i Japonii. W 1984 roku otrzymał nagrodę Schweizerischer Tonkünstlerverein i nagrodę artystyczną miasta Bazylei.

Twórczość
W początkowym okresie swojej twórczości czerpał z różnorodnych prądów stylistycznych, z czasem zaadaptował technikę dodekafoniczną, której reguł nie traktował jednak ortodoksyjnie. W latach 60. XX wieku wypracował własny styl, oparty na wyróżnieniu w dziele dwóch ściśle związanych, równorzędnych płaszczyzn – uchwytnych bezpośrednio zjawisk dźwiękowych oraz konstytuujących wewnętrzną formę materiału struktur serialnych. W swojej twórczości czerpał z dokonań awangardy, dystansując się jednak od jej skrajnych zjawisk.

Był autorem prac Zum Beispiel Mozart. Ein Beitrag zur musikalischen Analyse (Bazylea 1981), Musik im Brennpunkt. Positionen – Analysen – Kommentare (Kassel 1988), Analyse und Interpretation. Eine Einführung anhand von Klavierkompositionen (Winterthur 1993).

Automobilový motor je motor konstrukcí uzpůsobený pro pohon automobilu.

Historicky používané druhy motorů

V historii byly použity téměř všechny druhy motorů. Byly to zejména:

 Čtyřdobý spalovací motor zážehový nebo vznětový
 Dvoudobý spalovací motor zážehový
 Wankelův motor zážehový
 Elektromotor
 Plynová turbína
 Parní stroj

Spalovací automobilový motor

Paliva

V minulosti se pro pohon nákladních automobilů používaly ve větší míře i parní stroje na uhlí (např. ŠKODA Sentinel 1924-35). Během 2.světové války se z důvodů nedostatku ropy používaly vyvíječe dřevoplynu pro zážehový motor. V nedávné minulosti a ještě i dnes se používají dvoudobé zážehové motory na směs benzínu s olejem v poměru zhruba 30:1.

V současnosti se automobily opatřují převážně čtyřdobým spalovacím motorem zážehovým nebo vznětovým. Jako palivo se používá motorová nafta, benzín, LPG, CNG, v malé míře biopaliva a metanol.

Emise

Protože emise automobilových spalovacích motorů mají nepříznivý vliv na životní prostředí, v posledních několika desetiletích je věnována velká péče čistotě výfukových plynů (emisní normy). Snížení procentního obsahu jedovatých složek výfukových plynů je dosahováno pomocí elektronického řízení motoru a použitím katalyzátoru jako součásti výfukového potrubí. Katalyzátor pro vznětový motor je mírně odlišný od toho pro zážehový motor a není schopen snižovat emise oxidů dusíku. Ty jsou u naftových motorů značné a k jejich potlačení slouží další systémy.U vznětových motorů se běžně používá recirkulace výfukových plynů EGR. Zavedením části výfukových plynů zpět do sání motoru dochází k snížení emisí. Nevýhodou tohoto řešení je zvýšené opotřebování motoru a znečisťování motorového oleje ale i určité zvýšení spotřeby paliva.SCR - jiný systém omezení emisí NOx používaný u nákladních automobilů využívá selektivní katalytické redukce oxidů dusíku za pomocí stlačeným vzduchem rozprašovaného prostředku AdBlue (32,5% roztok močoviny ve vodě) do výfukového potrubí. Výrobce motorů Mercedes-Benz takový systém nazývá BlueTec. Objemová spotřeba redukčního prostředku je zhruba 5-7 % spotřeby nafty.Výfukové plyny naftových motorů obsahují vysoké množství tuhých částic - sazí. Tyto částice po vdechnutí do plic působí rakovinotvorně. K jejich zachytávání se začínají používat tzv. "filtry pevných částic" DPF. Ve výfukovém potrubí jsou umístěny těsně za oxidačním katalyzátorem. Bohužel provedení filtrů ještě není ustálené, standardizované a levné a přináší problémy provozovatelům aut takto vybavených.

Odpařování benzínu z volné hladiny v nádrži a z karburátoru bývalo zdrojem emisí uhlovodíků. Tomu nyní brání odvětrání palivového systému přes uhlíkový filtr. O odčerpání zachycených benzínových par z uhlíkového filtru pečuje ECU - řídící jednotka motoru.

Snížení celkového objemu výfukových plynů se dosahuje použitím přiměřeně výkonných motorů se zvýšenou účinností.

Plnění motoru

Zážehové motory dříve používaly pro tvorbu palivové směsi karburátor. Poslední modely karburátoru byly dost dokonalé, ale snažit se o další zlepšování parametrů pneu-elektro-mechanického zařízení již nebylo vhodné. Od 90. let jej nahradilo elektronicky řízené nízkotlaké vstřikování benzínu do sacího potrubí v prostoru před sacím ventilem a to společnou tryskou (SPI = Single-point injection) nebo tryskami zvlášť pro každý válec (MPI = Multi-point injection). Do vstřikovacích ventilů ovládaných z ECU je benzín pod tlakem dopravován elektrickým čerpadlem umístěným přímo v nádrži. Množství vstřikovaného paliva je vypočteno na základě údajů mnoha čidel tak, aby byl benzín se vzduchem ve stechiometrickém poměru. Čidlo zvané lambda sonda hlídá množství zbytkového kyslíku ve výfukových plynech před katalyzátorem a řídící jednotka podle jejího signálu upraví vstřikování tak, aby do katalyzátoru nepřicházel plyn s vysokým podílem uhlovodíků, oxidu uhelnatého nebo oxidů dusíku. Řízení motoru lambdasondou zajišťuje dokonalé seřízení směsi a kromě velmi nízkých emisí je i chod motoru kultivovaný. Je-li však lambdasonda nebo jiná součást elektronického řízení vadná, motor může mít i enormní emise, nebo přestane fungovat.

GDI - přímé vysokotlaké vstřikování benzínu do spalovacího prostoru v okamžiku končící komprese má ještě lepší parametry ale je mnohem náročnější na materiál ventilů a elektronické řízení. Různí výrobci nazývají své neběžné konstrukce různě. Například VW používá název TSI pro své zážehové motory s přímým vstřikem benzínu a s dvojím přeplňováním (turbo + mechanický kompresor v nízkých otáčkách). Toto je však příklad motoru s velmi vysokým měrným výkonem, u běžných zážehových motorů se přeplňování nepoužívá.

Vznětové motory TDI na rozdíl od SDI používají turbodmychadlo pro zvýšení objemu plnícího vzduchu (maximální tlak přibližně 2 bar). V dnešní době je většina vznětových motorů i v osobních automobilech přeplňovaných. Motory se vstřikováním Common rail nepoužívají pro každý válec zvláštní plunžr. Místo toho se používá čerpadlo dodávající naftu do zásobníku tlaku společného pro všechny válce. Tím zásobníkem tlaku je pružná kovová trubka (tlak přibližně 1800 bar). Z ní vedou trubičky do jednotlivých piezoelektrických injektorů. Bylo tím dosaženo lepšího řízení a kvality rozprášení při jednodušší konstrukci. Citlivost na kvalitu paliva je ale ještě větší.

Konstrukce

V konstrukci samotného motoru dochází k pozvolnému vývoji. Jako materiál bloku motoru a hlavy se dnes místo litiny používá hliník. Je-li použita neodpovídající chladicí kapalina, hrozí poškození předně hlavy válců.
Ventilový rozvod SV se již dlouho nepoužívá. Běžně se stále používá rozvod OHV ale nové konstrukce upřednostňují rozvod OHC. U víceventilových konstrukcí se z prostorových důvodů nevystačí s jedním vačkovým hřídelem a použije se rozvod DOHC se dvěma vačkovými hřídeli v hlavě. V nedávné době bylo v módě používat pro pohon OHC ozubené řemeny místo řetězů. Řemeny ale ukončují svou životnost náhlým přetržením při kterém dochází k vážnému poškození motoru. Proto se v poslední době opět více uplatňuje rozvodový řetěz.
U starých motorů nebyly dříky ventilů utěsněné a motorový olej tak mohl ve větší míře pronikat přímo do výfukového potrubí. Takový motor měl znatelnou spotřebu oleje. Dnešní motory mají díky těmto těsněním téměř nulovou spotřebu motorového oleje. Oproti tomu přeplňované motory mají mírně zvýšenou spotřebu oleje, zaviněnou únikem oleje z ložisek turbodmychadla do sání a do výfuku, kterému nelze zcela zamezit.
Dost se rozšířily konstrukce s větším počtem ventilů na jeden válec. Přitom se používají zdvojené sací ventily, někdy i výfukové. Například označení 16V má čtyřválcový motor se čtyřmi ventily ve válci. I nadále je to ale luxus. Běžně se používají hydraulická ventilová zdvihátka s automatickým vymezením ventilové vůle. Jsou poněkud náchylná na nečistoty v motorovém oleji. Ojediněle se objevují konstrukce řiditelného časování ventilů. Vývoji podlehla také těsnění pod hlavou válců. Od papírových těsnění se začalo přecházet na náročná celokovová těsnění, ale vývoj dále směřuje ke kombinovaným.
Kompresní poměr moderních zážehových motorů je asi 10:1 což znamená, že vzduch je stlačován na tlak téměř 10 Bar. Takto vysoká hodnota ale vyžaduje palivo s oktanovým číslem minimálně 95 (běžný benzín Natural 95) a hlídání klepání motoru čidlem řídící jednotky. Je-li u zážehového motoru použito přeplňování, kompresní poměr může být nižší protože vzduch do motoru přichází již předstlačen.
Vznětové motory mají kompresní poměr asi 19:1.
Konstrukce umožňující řídit kompresní poměr má několik výrobců motorů ve vývoji a uvedení na trh se očekává v nejbližší době.
Parametr vrtání × zdvih určuje tvar pracovního prostoru válce. Číselně jsou to podobné hodnoty a zhruba lze rozlišovat motory na nadčtvercové (zdvih je delší než vrtání), čtvercové (vrtání = zdvih) a podčtvercové (vrtání > zdvih). Nadčtvercový motor má vyšší účinnost (nižší spotřeba), ale nízké maximální otáčky. Naproti tomu podčtvercový motor je vysokootáčkový a díky tomu disponuje vyšším maximálním měrným výkonem. Dříve se používaly motory silně nadčtvercové. Dnešní běžné zážehové motory jsou slabě nadčtvercové, lehce výkonnější varianty jsou čtvercové a výkonné varianty jsou mírně podčtvercové. Vznětové motory jsou výrazně nadčtvercové.

V počátcích automobilizmu se motor roztáčel klikou. Dnes se spalovací motor uvádí do chodu startérem, zabírajícím během startování ozubením svého pastorku do ozubeného věnce setrvačníku motoru. Stejně jako dříve lze též motor nastartovat roztlačením vozidla, u nových aut se to ale nedoporučuje.

Elektrický automobilový motor

Elektrický motor je pro použití v automobilech velmi výhodný.

V dnešní době jsou již komerčně nabízeny přestavby běžných automobilů za zhruba dvojnásobek ceny nového vozu.

Používá se synchronní elektromotor s permanentními magnety (PSM permanent-field synchronous machine), nebo asynchronní elektromotor. Ten je napájen frekvenčním měničem ovládaným akceleračním a brzdovým pedálem (nebo jsou tyto spojeny v jeden).
Frekvenční měnič zajišťuje i plynulou rekuperaci. Rekuperace je automaticky deaktivována při sešlápnutí spojky a aktivaci systému ABS.
Motor o trvalém výkonu 35 kW při 3500 rpm může špičkově poskytnout až 100 kW při akceleraci. Elektromotor a hlavně výkonová elektronika vyžaduje určitý systém chlazení. Napájecí napětí motoru je zhruba 350 V a podobně vysoké je i napětí zdroje (akumulátoru). Palubní napětí 12 V vytváří DC-DC měnič.
Výše zmíněná technika dnes již není zvlášť převratná a představuje jen samé výhody. Veškerý problém elektrického pohonu představuje zdroj energie.

Pro širší uplatnění elektrického motoru pro pohon automobilu dosud nebyl vyvinut akumulátor, který by se lácí, životností, hmotností, kapacitou a rychlostí nabití vyrovnal palivové nádrži. Palivová nádrž sama o sobě je také relativně dost bezpečná, téměř 100% účinná a nemá velké emise. Vyvinout akumulátor schopný konkurovat palivové nádrži je vedle ovládnutí termonukleární reakce jako zdroje elektrické energie jedním z nejdůležitějších úkolů části lidstva řadícího se k euroatlantické civilizaci, vzhledem k důležitosti dopravy, ubývání fosilních zdrojů a znečisťování prostředí. Předem se dá říci, že takový akumulátor nelze očekávat.

Elektrický akumulátor:
 umožňuje rekuperaci kinetické energie automobilu. Protože však rekuperovat je třeba pouze malé množství energie (jen takové, které by bylo brzděním disipováno), není pro tuto funkci nutná velká kapacita ale jen vysoký výkon. Tuto funkci může plnit i mechanický setrvačník, nebo jiný kapacitor. Prakticky se používají vysokokapacitní elektrické kondenzátory v systémech KERS u vozů F1.
 není závislý na atmosférickém kyslíku

Energii pro elektromotor lze též vyrábět z plynného nebo kapalného paliva v palivovém článku. Ani ten ale není ideálním zdrojem. Kromě vysoké pořizovací ceny a určité životnosti má i emise škodlivin, určitou účinnost a neumožňuje rekuperaci. Palivové články jsou teprve ve stádiu vývoje.

Malá kapacita elektrického akumulátoru způsobuje krátký dojezd elektromobilu. Proto se velká část elektromobilů vybavuje hybridním pohonem tvořeným kombinací spalovacího motoru a elektromotoru. Hnací soustava je alternativně poháněna jedním, druhým, nebo oběma motory a přepínání zajišťují mechanické spojky. Jiné, málo rozšířené řešení hybridního pohonu automobilu, spočívá v kombinaci elektromotoru s elektrickým generátorem poháněným spalovacím motorem. Toto řešení se používá u obřích důlních sklápěček. Elektromotory jsou umístěny přímo v kolech a místo obřích hnacích hřídelů stačí rozvody elektrických kabelů. Umístění motorů přímo do kol ale není moc vhodné řešení z hlediska neodpružené hmoty, což u osobních automobilů vadí.

As we all know there are lots of cool antiques out there that could be worth a lot of money. Each time we go to our parents' home or grandparent's room we just look at all their old stuff and think to ourselves; how much is that worth?
We see a lot of people take their collectibles and other antiques to pawn shops or sell them on EBay to try and make some extra cash. Sometimes they are getting robbed and don't know it or they are potentially making bank off something simple they never knew was worth money. If you have seen an episode of "Pawn Stars" you know exactly what I mean. So how can you tell if you have anything worthwhile in your parents' basement or grandparents' house? Here are a couple of items that have been a hot commodity lately.
If your Grandpa or Father played a guitar back in his day or was part of a garage band odds are he has a couple instruments lying around the house. You might want to look into them and see if there are any classic or vintage guitars. Some classic Les Pauls and Gibsons have been known to sell well over 20,000 dollars. There are other instruments too like antique player pianos and grand pianos. If you happen to stumble across a player piano that has some old paper music sheets then you might want to get that restored and appraised.
These are something that most old timers have lying around somewhere in their house. Trunks, chest or anything of the sort that has been hand crafted might just make you singing all the way to the bank, especially if you have a treasure chest lying around the house. Those have been have been known to go for over 100,000 dollars. Move over retirement!
This one is kind of simple because we see coin commercials all the time on television. Old money that is no longer in circulation could be worth a lot of money. For example if you have a US quarter that was printed in 1960 the starting price is worth $3-5 dollars. Sometimes you will see companies and restaurants offer free ice cream for coins like this. Let's be honest though if someone is offering you free ice cream for a special kind of coin, it's probably worth looking into.
If your parents went through a hippie stage or punk stage then there is a good chance that they have some patches or pins lying around the house from "the good ole days." Take a look at them and see if they are salvageable. If they are near mint condition or better then there is a good chance that they can bring in a pretty penny or two. Odds are it would be worth more than what your parents paid for it. Or you could see if you have any old pins for trading that you might have gotten from Disneyland or other amusement parks. There are a lot of collectors out there that are willing to top notch for something simple like that. However, if you are interested in just getting some fun looking pins or customizable ones you can always check out cheappins.com for more information.
There are many ways to go about selling some of your collectibles or seeing if they are worth anything. You can take a picture of the item then upload it to Google images to see if there are any other results that look similar to it. You can also check out EBay or Amazon for some ideas on what they are going for. Who knows what you can find lying around your house.


The aim of this research was to determine the influence of cross cultural leadership on organisational culture. This is assessed by using the GLOBE project's dimensions of culture which are an extension to Hofstede model of culture. These are; power distance, uncertainty avoidance, human orientation, individuality vs. collectivism, egalitarianism, assertiveness, long term orientation and performance orientation. As more organisations in South Africa become more culturally diverse, it is important to determine where the organisational culture stems from? This is essential in addressing cross cultural conflicts and in efforts to create a winning culture in the workplace. The case study involves Arcelormittal South Africa (AMSA), and will hopefully contribute positively in identifying salient cultural implications in managerial positions such as for example, high employee turnover and cultural clashes which hinder individual performance. A qualitative research design was used in this study to determine participants' perspectives on organisational culture and leadership. Two instruments were used for primary data collection in this research. The first one was designed by the researcher to capture the demographics data for this particular study. The second instrument used was the GLOBE survey questionnaire which captured 8 dimensions of culture and was specifically designed to encompass questions relevant to the business environment. A convenience sampling methodology was used with a target population of 115 managers classified as middle management of AMSA. The research revealed that there is a general shift from a Eurocentric approach to leadership which is congruent with high individualism and low human orientation. The influence of cross cultural leadership is thus indicated by the preference for higher degree of human orientation and collectivism amongst managers, which is associated with the Afrocentric leadership style and the black ethnic group. The higher degree of uncertainty avoidance can be attributed to the continued dominance of white managers (58%) in AMSA's management (Booysen: 2001). The other ethnic groups consist of Africans (15%), Indians (27%) and virtually no Coloured representation.

Jersey's Under 16s showed great spirit to twice come from behind to lift the Nigel Gavey Memorial Trophy thanks to a last-minute of extra time winner against Guernsey at The Track.
With the match level at 4-4 heading into the final moments of extra time Damien Salmon kept his calm to slot home the winner on a memorable afternoon for Paul Renton's side.
"I think we showed brilliant character throughout," said Jersey captain James Sunley, who was named man-of-the-match.
Guernsey had gone ahead from a close-range header in the opening minutes but the visitors responded well, hitting the post and seeing an effort cleared off the line before Jay dos Santos' excellent free-kick levelled the game.
Within seconds though the hosts were back in front after the ball ricocheted around the box and was eventually planted in to Tyler Quinn's net. Back came Jersey again though, and Elliott Friend bundled in an equaliser before half-time to ensure the sides went in all square at the break.
Defender Sammy Sutcliffe's brace of well-worked goals put Jersey into a commanding 4-2 lead but Guernsey showed great fight and spirit to find two late goals and send the match into extra time.
It was the home side that had the better opportunities in the additional period but on the break Salmon got clear of the Guernsey defence and produced a tidy finish to make it 5-4 and spark huge celebrations in front of the Jersey dugout.
"I thought we were terrific," added Paul Renton, Jersey FA Link Asset Services Centre of Excellence Manager.

Ghana's Black Queens will be in action on Tuesday against Mali looking to secure a place in the semi finals of the 2018 AWCON.
The Queens already have three points in the bag, after defeating Algeria in their opening game, and will book a place in the last four with a win against Mali.
Ghana was guilty of squandering numerous goal scoring opportunities in their narrow 1-0 over the North Africans on the opening day, much to the disappointment of most fans who witnessed the game.
Queens winger Sherifatu Sumaila, who was named player of the match in the win against Algeria, admits their finishing on the opening day was not the best, and has promised better output in front of goal against Mali.
"We rushed our final passes and shots against Algeria, and missed a lot of good opportunities. We will work on our finishing against Mali so we can score more goals," she said.

Italians enjoy outdoor dining and celebrating the culinary traditions of their regions. The Amalfi Coast towns have numerous food festivals — called sagre — with outdoor stalls to sample local specialties and music, entertainment and other festivities.
If you visit in late September, just about all of Positano turns out to celebrate the end of the high season at the Festa del Pesce fish festival on Fornillo Beach. A free boat shuttle takes guests on a short ride from the main beach over to Fornillo in the evening. There are food stands set up with menus consisting of local favorites like totani e patate (squid and potatoes), frittura mista (fried fish or calamari), insalata di polipo (octopus salad), and zuppa di cozze (mussel soup). Cold beer and local wine are served, while live music with fireworks complete the festive scene. And with many locals attending each year, it's a great time to practice your Italian!
Check out the festival's website for the date of this year's fish festival!


A categorized assortment of my CG work.
In my more recent CG art I have been focusing heavily on 2D work, and vector art. I have been enjoying advancing in both, but have really come to appreciate the hard contrast in vector art. Sharp lines and text weight/balance were components of my art that has needed more attention. These projects have given the opportunity to really focus on these.
This facet of art is one that I enjoy immensely. I hope to have more samples to fill this in the future. As of now, I have been studying composition and lighting through photography.
Some of the successes I was able to enjoy while focusing on the game art path.

NIGERIA – Nestle Nigeria has collaborated Lagos Business School to start a Sales Academy geared at training and equipping its employees in line with its commitment to create an environment that allows people to learn, grow and thrive in each country where it operates, ThisDay Newspaper reveals.
According to the company, the academy will deploy training sessions, instructor-led sessions, simulated problems, business cases and other action-based approaches that challenge participants to think through how the models presented work out in practice.

The first phase is the 'Sales College', which addresses the fundamentals of business.

WEGMAN ATTORNEYS SECURE CONSTITUTIONAL APPELLATE RIGHTS FOR IMPROPERLY SENTENCED DEFENDANT
Wednesday August 12, 2020 Published in Litigation
Wegman Hessler attorneys Jay Carson and Aaron Hessler recently won an appeal in the U.S. court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit, clarifying the law regarding when a defendant can raise constitutional errors by a state appellate court and vindicating the constitutional due process rights of a defendant who had been improperly sentenced.
The Wegman attorneys were appointed by the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals to act as appellate counsel for a criminal defendant who had sought a writ of habeas corpus on the basis that the state court of appeals had acted unconstitutionally in denying his right to appeal. The defendant had been improperly sentenced under Ohio law and had been denied the opportunity to appeal his sentence.
Many years later, through his own research in the prison law library, the defendant learned that the Court had not followed the proper procedure in sentencing him under Ohio law and that both the Court and his counsel had misinformed him of his right to appeal that sentence. Since the defendant had pled guilty, Ohio law requires a three judge panel when sentencing which the defendant was not afforded. In addition, when the defendant entered his guilty plea, his attorney—as well as the judge—incorrectly advised him that by entering a guilty plea he had also waived his right to appeal his sentence. Subsequently, the defendant filed an appeal with the Ohio Court of Appeals which was denied on the basis that he should have raised the issue immediately after his sentencing and he had waited too long to raise the issue. He then sought a writ of habeas corpus in federal court on the basis that the Ohio Court of Appeals had violated his due process right to appeal his sentence. The federal district court, like the Ohio Court of Appeals, held that he had waited too long, and that his time to seek relief through a habeas corpus petition began to run from the date he was sentenced—regardless of whether he had been misled by his counsel and the sentencing judge.
On appeal to the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals, a three judge panel unanimously adopted the Wegman attorneys' argument that the defendant's ability to seek redress from a state appellate court's erroneous decision starts to run when that court issues that decision rather than when the defendant is sentenced by the trial court.
Commenting on the court's decision, Jay Carson noted , "Our job as lawyers is not just to represent our clients, but to work to improve the justice system. When the system fails to honor the rights of one litigant, it sets a precedent that if left uncorrected can deny the rights of future litigants. We're thankful here that the panel has affirmed our client's rights and clarified the law going forward."
The Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals hears federal appeals cases arising in Ohio, Michigan, Kentucky and Tennessee. As a federal court of appeals, it is one step below the U.S. Supreme Court. Earlier in his career, Jay Carson served as clerk on the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals to the Honorable Alice M. Batchelder. In addition, Mr. Carson has been recognized as a life member of the Judicial Conference for the Sixth Circuit.

Q: Creating a trigger in ADO.Net DataTable using RowChanged or other events I'd like to simulate a trigger in DataTable to update my DataSet when a certain change to data occurs.
I was going to utilize DataTable events for this purpose, but then I found this warning from Microsoft Handling DataTable Events:

Data corruption can occur if data is modified in a DataSet from which the RowChanged event is raised. No exception will be raised if such data corruption occurs.

So, I suppose it's a bad idea to use RowChanged event for my task. But is it safe to use other events, like RowChanging? Or may be there is a better way to achieve my goal?

A: I believe that the MSDN is pointing this out because of potential validation rules that may exist such as keys & unique constraints which are usually part of the actual schema definition of a dataset. So you just need to keep this in mind.
The RowChanging event is more general than the RowChanged event. It tells you that that a change is occurring somewhere in the row, but you won't know which column has changed.
The event you choose comes down to how granular you want to be. RowChanged and ColumnChanged are the more granular options.
In the case of RowChanged:

A row has been changed. The event passes the row to you, along with a
  value indicating what type of action (change, insert, and so on) is
  being performed.

In the case of ColumnChanged:

The value in a column has been changed. The event passes the row and
  column to you, along with the proposed value.

Another option is possibly the the DataTable.GetChanges Method.

Calling the GetChanges method of a dataset or data table returns a new
  dataset or data table that contains only records that have been
  changed. If you want to get only specific records — for example, only
  new records or only modified records — you can pass a value from the
  DataRowState enumeration as a parameter to the GetChanges method.

BC Lions lock-up OL Hunter Steward for 2018
OL Hunter Steward
The BC Lions Football Club today announced that national offensive lineman Hunter Steward has signed a contract with the team for the 2018 season. Steward was eligible to become a free agent later this month.
Originally joining the Lions as the club's first-round CFL Draft selection in 2013, the Liberty University grad is set to enter his fifth season with the club. The hulking lineman who can play both guard and tackle positions appeared in 16 games last season giving him 44 for his career to date.
"Hunter has the potential to be one of the anchors of our offensive line," said head coach Wally Buono. "He is a talented player whose size and versatility make this signing a very important one heading into this season."

Zach wrote in to tell me that he heard a version of my song Dirtbag in a Fark.com trailer mashup contest. The entry is by Mike Hindes and called Toy Story 2 Requiem. It's a hilarious mash-up trailer of the movies Toy Story 2 and Requiem for a Dream.
(15mb WMV) (Warning: there's some R-rated language.) Very awesome. It almost makes me glad I sat through 90% of Requiem for a Dream so I could find this extra funny. Almost. I'll never forgive that movie.
I also like how absurd the level of mashup-ness is getting on my music. "Hey, an Israeli remix of your song was used in a movie trailer mashup!" Say what now?

Frankly, I get the feeling that not much happened in this episode again. Tsugumi (childhood friend) is introduced, but other than that its pretty much standard stuff. Not much came out of Jin kicking out Nagi other than a piggyback.


You wouldn't believe the work that I gave myself, this week, in an effort to put off doing work.
I came up with a great idea for a brilliant blog post idea and instead of writing it, over the course of three days, I did five loads of laundry, did meal planning for the next week, bought all those groceries, prepped all the veggies that I bought, planned out my next month of blog posts, washed four sink-fulls of dishes, made two meals, kept up with the Kardashians, and cleaned my desk twice. And now I don't even remember what it was that I wanted to write about. So here we are.
I came to the coffee shop with nothing but my laptop and my notebook in order to keep myself from the distractions in my own house. But, look, I've been here for an hour.
Take photos of your coffee, in public.
So I wonder why it is that we procrastinate on these things that we really want to do? I love to write. I love to communicate these things that are going on in my brain with you and I love the way you talk back and we start a conversation. I mean, I know why I've been putting off doing the laundry for a really long time—it's because I don't really want to haul it to Tidy Laundry and back up all of those stairs and fold it and put it away. But why would I rather do that than sit down and do my favorite thing?
I was reading an interview with Elizabeth Gilbert (who is my guru lately) and she was talking about how she deals with procrastination.
She was also talking about how she has made a pact with herself that in the morning, once she sits down at her computer and isn't allowed to stand up for two hours. Which is a really, really long time when you're not yet in the swing of things.
So I guess what I'm deciding is that maybe it's just that I'm going to need to do a couple of things—try out the plow horse mentality for a while and see if it works for me. And I need to probably relax a little bit. I've never been a writer for a living, before, I'm learning as I go.
But look, though, there's a tiny boy standing in my coffee cup.
But seriously, do you have any things that you go through in your mind when you need to reign in the monkey brain? When you need to really get down and focus.
Do you listen to anything when you need to do your work like that?
I've learned that this is the best time for me to listen to brand new albums that I'm not too familiar with so that I can get lost in the music and the rhythm but I don't know the words, yet, so I can tune it out a little bit.
I think you all are great and it's awesome that you don't mind me obsessing about myself sometimes.
Libby, I love it that you can write about pretty much nothing and you still manage to make me laugh and make me read the entire post! Is it a tiny man or a giant coffee cup? Just wonderin'!?

Gale Garnett "Variety Is the Spice of Gale Garnett"
Categories: 1960s, Folk, Frightening, Growing On Me and Uncategorized
Tags: 1966, conspiracy theories, Gale Garnett, Liner Notes, pop, Questions
I had never heard of Gale Garnett even though she apparently had a hit in the Sixties—so I probably heard her on the AM radio in the kitchen before school, which never enamored me to anyone. The only garnet I know is the gemstone, which I'm partial to since it's my birth month stone; also, it's most famously ruby red, but the color theme on this album cover is green (green print on a green background)—so I think my nutty brain immediately made this weird association with The Wizard of Oz (1939), because I'm always getting Dorothy's ruby slippers mixed up with the Emerald City—like, for the longest time I thought she had emerald slippers! Also, Dorothy's last name is Gale. So can you blame me for my confusion? The other thing is, I would have guessed this record was from at least the late Seventies, if not the Eighties—by the cover—I can't say why exactly—but it doesn't look like 1966, to me, that's for sure. And then there's the photo of Gale Garnett on the cover, wearing one of those hats that's always tilted, but her head is tilted at such an extreme angle, the hat is almost straight. It's a little disturbing, but not as much as her eyeliner, which is so severe it would make Robert Smith jealous. And her eyes look so much like they're popping out of the cover I had to touch them to make sure. This is some album cover photo—it's almost life-size, and it could give you nightmares—or maybe happy dreams—depending.
An apter title was never conceived, and the detailed liner notes by Gale Garnett go on to explain how important it is to her to perform in so many different styles. While I agree with her in theory, it's a little hard on the listener when there are some songs you want to put on repeat (to use that weird notion of the digital age), while other songs make you want to throw a shoe at the turntable. I'm not going to go through the songs song by song—and neither am I going to mark up my record with notes. I suppose I don't mind the idea of having the same experience every time I put this record on (if I keep it) where I'll think, "Why did I keep this record?" and then, "Oh, yeah, because that song is great." The internet tells us Gale Garnett was born in New Zealand and then moved to Canada when she was young—I think that's about all the biographical material I can handle right now. She writes lovingly about these songs (many of which she wrote)—I might like her writing more than her singing. The best part, though, is her story about the song Carrick Fergus—she said it was taught to her by Richard Harris, who said he learned it at his mother's knee. But later, Peter O'Toole told her that he wrote it with Domenick Behan—and at press time, no resolution had/has been landed upon. If I ever have the pleasure of meeting Gale Garnett, I'm going to tell her I wrote that song and see if she gets the joke.

Aylett Country Day School was founded in 1966 by a group of parents who wanted to provide a quality independent elementary school experience for local children. The focus of the school is the same as it was when it was founded. Aylett is dedicated to academic excellence and the development of a child's full potential.
In September 1966, the doors opened in a converted hotel in the village of Walkerton. Four years later, the present main building was constructed on donated land in Millers Tavern. In 1976, the Owen Gwathmey Gymnasium was built. Since that time, a middle school building has been added, and most recently the main building was enlarged to accommodate administrative offices and Early Childhood classrooms. The original school housed kindergarten through seventh grade. Over the years, both eighth grade and Early Childhood programs have been added. Today, the campus is filled with children from ages three to fourteen.
Today, Aylett Country Day School has 17 classrooms, a library, an art room, a science lab, and a gymnasium. With the expansion of our facility, Aylett Country Day School is now able to offer more comprehensive programs in physical education, art, music, foreign language, and science. We continue to expand our library and computer access to support today's programs and to support the need for knowledge in technology.
We at Aylett Country Day School believe that a good school is a partnership between the school, the child, and the family. When the parents and the school share the same core values, the net result is solid character development for the child. Parents demonstrate enthusiastic support through their involvement in a host of traditional school events such as the Urbanna Oyster Festival and Grandparents Day.
Our Mission Statement says…
"The mission of Aylett Country Day School is to develop children's full potential in a creative, nurturing environment. We are committed to academic excellence through an innovative, enriching curriculum. As a school community, we are dedicated to building character and fostering traditional values including citizenship, honesty, and respect."


Sunday is here, a time to kick back and nurse ourselves back to health and chillness. Weekends are actually a two-part process, where we relax so hard we need a whole day just to relax. We've got a grip of tunes here, new and old, to facilitate a little spiritual healing.
For chill that goes the distance, check out Queensway's 11:00 mixdown of the LP he dropped last week, Automatic Lover.
Yes, it might be a week old, but "In My City" is yet another piece of evidence that Gramatik is actually an alien from a different, funky planet where there are seven moons and zero-gravity hookah bars on every corner. His composition is so emotionally spot-on it almost doesn't seem right to put it in a "chill" playlist.
Aether is a producer based in Massachusetts who honestly deserves his own post, but for now we want to share this remix of Portishead that is smooth as butter. If it's a little slow for you, check out his Soundcloud because dude is definitely worthy of a second chance.
And there's plenty more to explore. Enjoy!

Toby May opened the try scoring after a cross kick from Will Robinson found Hugo Watson who offloaded in the tackle for Toby to crash over. Barnes levelled with a try of their own but Hugo Watson turned scorer as he powered over for TJ's second with Robinson converting and TJs went in 5-12 in front.
