I would like to draw attention to three aspects of Brad Gregory's The Unintended Reformation, a book whose courage and ambition I applaud, if for no other reason than that it exemplifies what an engaged form of historiography (and humanistic inquiry more generally) can and should do. The first aspect has to do with the commercialization and commodification of knowledge in post-Reformation modernity and how it impacts advanced inquiry today. From it follows my second concern, which lies with the indebtedness of Gregory's own narrative to the fruits of modern, disciplinary and specialized inquiry. Finally, I wish to take up the question of whether Gregory's historiographical approach might be seriously compromised by the apparent absence of a focused hermeneutical engagement with the major voices (theological, philosophical, political, economic, etc.) widely credited with shaping the landscape of post-Reformation modernity, both secular and religious.

Beyond reductive naturalismposted by Yang Xiao
Future histories may report that the public discourse on religion was dominated by reductive naturalism until Robert Bellah's Religion in Human Evolution appeared in 2011. One of the most distinctive features of Bellah's book is his extensive use of the latest developments in the natural sciences, such as biology, cognitive science, evolutionary psychology, and developmental and child psychology. One of his purposes is, as he puts it, "to show how deeply we are shaped by a very long biological history." This might give the wrong impression that Bellah's approach is similar to the New Naturalist approach. However, Bellah's is better characterized as a non-reductive humanistic naturalism, which is a synthesis of the humanistic (interpretative, social, and historical) understanding of religion and the naturalist approach.
Dangerous evolutions?posted by Martin Riesebrodt
Religion in Human Evolution is an immensely ambitious book on a topic only a scholar of Robert Bellah's stature could dare to tackle. It attempts no less than to explain human biological as well as cultural evolution in one sweep, beginning with early hominids and ending with the "axial age." Bellah engages evolutionary biology as well as cognitive psychology for the framing of his argument. This is a courageous move of transcending conventional disciplinary boundaries, for which he should be applauded. At the same time, it draws Bellah into positions he might actually not always be comfortable with.
Weber for the 21st centuryposted by Richard Madsen
For almost one hundred years, all sociologists of religion have taken Max Weber's great work on comparative religions as a primary point of departure. Whole libraries of scholarship have been produced to explicate Weber, expand on Weber, disagree with Weber, revise Weber. In the next hundred years, I think, the point of departure will be Robert Bellah rather than Weber. Bellah's new masterpiece, Religion in Human Evolution is comparable in scope, breadth of scholarship, and depth of erudition to Weber's study of world religions, but it is grounded in all of the advances of historical, linguistic, and archeological scholarship that have taken place since Weber, as well as theoretical advances in evolutionary biology and cognitive science.
Multi-religious denominationalism and American identityposted by Richard Amesbury
Charles Taylor has argued that those of us living in North America and Europe are witnessing a shift in our social imaginary from a "Durkheimian" self-understanding, according to which political identity is tied to religious belonging, towards a "post-Durkheimian" view, in which the two are no longer seen as intrinsically linked. In the emerging dispensation, Taylor predicts, "it will be less and less common for people to be drawn into or kept within a faith by some strong political or group identity, or by the sense that they are sustaining a socially essential ethic." Whatever its merits as an analysis of contemporary European self-understanding—and these are surely significant—Taylor's reading strikes me as underdetermined by the American evidence…
What holds us togetherposted by Robert N. Bellah
In his response to my concern about whether "post-Durkheimian" is a viable category, Charles Taylor goes part way in answering my query, but, in my view, not far enough. When he writes "I don't think it's possible to have a successful, modern democratic society without some strong sense of what unites us as citizens," he is conceding my basic Durkheimian point, that a society without common values is not a viable society. It is his next move that gives me pause. […]
After Durkheimposted by Robert N. Bellah
I continue, as I reread it, to have the highest opinion of A Secular Age and to believe that it is among the handful of the most important books I have ever read, to the point where The Chronicle of Higher Education speaks of my "effusive" praise. So it was with some surprise that I found there was a point where, if I didn't entirely differ from Taylor, I had at least some serious questions to raise. […]

Lecheritas Group
The group members are involved in a variety of businesses, including growing and selling carrots and other vegetables, dairy farming, and buying and selling livestock.
This loan will benefit these small micro-businesses, including that of Lorenza. She reports that this is the first time the group is working with Pro Mujer. She was invited by a member of Pro Mujer who went to her house to visit her. Currently she has a milk production business. She has been doing this work for six years, along with her husband. They started the business together.
She will use her portion of the loan funds for working capital to purchase livestock. She will buy the livestock in a nearby community and will then raise the animals. This work will allow her to generate income to support her family as much as possible. She is married and has four children.
When she was asked what she liked about Pro Mujer, she said that she likes the ease with which a loan can be obtained.

El crédito que ahora sacará es para incremento ampliación de capital (compra de ganado) mismo que comprará de una comunidad aledaña, posteriormente lo criará. Esta forma de trabajo le permite generar recursos para apoyar en lo posible a su familia, pues ella es casada y tiene cuatro hijos.
Cuando se le consulta que le gusta de Pro Mujer, ella responde que le gusta el crédito ágil.
Additional Information
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

Archaeologists from the University of California, Los Angeles, and Ireland have discovered the world's oldest leather shoe, an exquisitely preserved, 5,600-year-old woman's size 7 lace-up, in a cave in Armenia.
LOS ANGELES — Archaeologists from the University of California, Los Angeles, and Ireland have discovered the world's oldest leather shoe, an exquisitely preserved, 5,600-year-old woman's size 7 lace-up, in a cave in Armenia.
The shoe, 1,000 years older than the great pyramid of Egypt and 400 years older than Stonehenge in the United Kingdom, was in such pristine condition that at first researchers thought it was just a few centuries old. It was stuffed with grass that may have been used to keep the wearer's foot warm or that might have been to preserve the shoe's shape for storage, the researchers reported Wednesday in the online journal PLoS One.
Both grass and shoe were well preserved, like other organic materials discovered in preliminary excavations of the cave on the border between Armenia and Iran, including winemaking apparatus complete with grapes and three human heads preserved in jars.
Most such materials degrade over time; the team attributed the unusual preservation to the cave's perennially cool temperature and low humidity and a concretelike layer of sheep dung that sealed everything in and prevented fungi from destroying the remains.

The artifacts date from the Chalcolithic or Copper Age, when the first metal tools began appearing. "The fourth millennium is when the modern world appears — the first cities, the first kings, the first axes, the first bureaucrats, and the first international trading system," said archaeologist Mitchell S. Rothman of Widener University in Chester, Pa.
Southern Iraq, where the first cities appeared, had no natural resources of its own and all the raw materials had to come from the surrounding mountains, from sites like this one.
Before the discovery, the oldest known footwear from Eurasia was found on Otzi, the Iceman discovered on a glacier in the Otztal Alps on the border between Austria and Italy. Those shoes are about 5,300 years old, but were in relatively poor shape. They were moccasin-type footwear in which the sole is attached to an upper "sock" with leather thongs.
The oldest known footwear — more sandal than shoe — were discovered in Missouri and are about 6,900 years old. Made from woven fibers and leather, they are also in poor condition.
Radiocarbon dating indicated that the newly found shoe was from about 3,600 B.C. Its relatively sophisticated design, however, suggests that the style had already been in use for a long period, said UCLA archaeologist Gregory Areshian, the co-leader of the research team.

I've been on Shapeways since September 2009 but I haven't ever ventured onto the forums before. I thought I better say hi before posting anywhere else.

 Over the last couple of months I've been churning out designs of LEGO scaled pieces. I have a Partnership on YouTube and plan to use the custom LEGO pieces in my animations. At the moment I am desperately trying to do anything so I can to avoid studying!

 Thanks for taken the time to read this, and I'm looking forward to getting involved in your community.

 All the best,

 I'm currently working on getting involved in several external communities myself. At the moment, I'm seeing a lot of interest from people after posting images onto Flickr. There is an extremely large market out there for this and I intend on continuing to expand into it. Once I properly advertise my Shapeways shop on my YouTube channel, I will be able to bring more people over here and create awareness among the other animators on YouTube. I will keep my eye out for potential contacts for you!

Motorola MotoRIZR Z8 mobile phone - First Look
0.0 stars
Screen quality, design, interface, headphones, movie in the box
Is that screen going to be big enough?
The next generation of mobile phones is all about music isn't it? Wrong, that was last years message and perhaps realising that they've missed the boat against the likes of Sony Ericsson's Walkman range and the yet to be launched iPhone, Motorola's latest handset, the Moto Z8 boasts video as its main feature.
So what's it like? Pocket-lint was invited to a dark press conference in London Bridge to find out.
Well first impressions are good - the design, which is like no mobile phone we've ever seen before is incredibly tactile to touch and covered in the same material as the company's RIZR handset uses on its back.
At first glance it looks like metal, but then when you touch it, it has a rubbery feel helping it grip to surfaces so it doesn't slide around. Motorola call it soft touch rubber, which doesn't sound as exciting as it should be.
But what's even more interesting from a design point of view is that the phone breaks in two to angle around your face. Moto are calling it a Kick slider design. It's hard to describe, however check out the pictures to the right of this copy to get a better understanding.
Coming in a black and fetching lime green, the phone also sports a largish display, which you view those videos on. We would have liked it to be bigger (wouldn't we all), but it was ample for watching short programs as long as you opt for the full screen mode which rotates the image so you watch it landscape rather than profile.
Where the screen wins out however, is that it supports 16 million rather than just the average 262k colours and has a frame rate of 30fps rather than the average 24. Motorola claims this makes the picture quality top notch and in our brief viewing - we watched a clip from Disney's Cars and Jeremy Clarkson's latest video - the quality was very impressive.
We weren't able to test out battery claims, but Moto say you'll be able to get a dubious 5 hours of watching time, plenty enough to watch the "included in the box on a microSD card" film Bourne Indentity, Sky News via its mobile TV offering and of course the latest episode of the Pocket-lint gadget show Megawhat.tv.
Also out of the box you'll get a set of Bluetooth-enabled headphones, SSX3 snowboarding game from EA and Sky's Anytime application so you can tell your Sky+ box to record stuff when you're away from home.
With so much going for this phone, it seems strange to leave it till this late in this First Look to mention that Motorola has also included HSDPA connectivity, Stereo Bluetooth, 2 megapixel camera, a microSD slot for expanding those multimedia functions all running a new Symbian OS interface that means its not dogged by problems and issues from the past.
So first impressions are good. Our only concern is that the screen isn't big enough to get the most out of video, however it's probably why Motorola can claim the decent battery life.
Combine this with the included Alice Band behind the ear style headphones and it looks like the company might have a decent offering on its hands. Forget the RAZR2, it's the MOTO Z8 you'll be wanting.

text: I was recently forced to upgrade to Vista after my computer's HD went kabloowie. I cannot seem to get Homeworld 2 to run. It installs smoothly enough except for it first saying that the Direct X version it needs is not on the computer then stopping the install of Direct X 5.somethingorother because a higher version (x10) is already on the computer. So everything seems in order but when I click on the icon there is a lot of furious whirring and buzzing as if a program is going to start and then a minute or two later it all stops and the computer pretends nothing ever happened. No blank screen, no black screen, nothing but the same old desktop. I've also tried right clicking on the icon and running it in system administrator mode and Win XP compatibility mode and exactly nothing happens. This is quite frustrating as I would really like to blow up high resolution starships in a pretty manner and it seems there are few other alternatives for that sort of thing until Sins of a Solar Empire comes out, me not being an especially big fan of Eve Online and quite happy playing LOTRO atm.

Well this is it. My last three months of my exchange.
I'm assuming if you are reading this blog post you have been at least briefly following my previous posts about my time here in Malaysia. I've learned a lot, about myself, about human beings, about human interactions and my own interactions with other people. My exchange of course has been as far away from what I expected it to be as truly possible, but it has been life-altering in ways I never could have asked for.
Here are some things I've been up to lately:
CHINESE NEW YEAR: The year of the horse.
For Chinese New Year, all exchange students were given an opportunity to stay with a temporary host family and experience the different culture and lifestyle during the holidays. While many things were different between the Chinese and Muslim families, many things were also quite similar. The family I was staying with had only daughters and they spoke in only Mandarin.
No Malay was spoken in the house. I felt like I was in a different country. I enjoyed Chinese New Year so much, as I was given the chance to really get involved in the Chinese-Malaysian culture.
A few weeks after Chinese New Year, I went to a Malay wedding. However, it wasn't a typical Malay wedding. It was a Pakistani-Malay wedding. This means the traditional clothing were a mixture of baju kurung and punjabi suits from Pakistan. This was so cool.
Next to the wedding was a rubber tree farm. Rubber is one of Malaysia's top exports.
All in all, February was a very productive month.
Something severely disturbed me when we went to the beach cleanup. After the time rang clear and our job was finished, people pulled out snacks and water bottles from their backpacks and began drinking and eating. Normal right? Of course. But after everyone was finished, I saw many people carelessly throwing their garbage back onto the beach and not even thinking about it twice.
This made me feel angry and hurt that people could be so ignorant and disrespectful about the planet, and those who worked so hard that day to clean it. If you are reading this, I am begging you ... whether you are Malay, American, Chinese, Belgian, German, Mexican, Spanish, French, Indonesian, Indian or anything else, we are all human. And this is our planet. Please stop the littering. If you see garbage on the ground, take it and put it where it belongs. Don't destroy the beauty that was given to us.
These next few weeks will be very busy for me, as I will go live with a temporary family in southern Malaysia for two weeks to experience life in a different place temporarily. All of the exchange students do this so it will be an exciting opportunity.

The lack of a decent psychic pokemon.
Also, Sabrina's psychic gym. It always gets me confused. Same thing with team rocket buildings...teleporting tiles :/
I'm glad other people agree that they had trouble with Brock like i did in Yellow. I have to admit that was the most annoying part for me, but i thought it was just because i was young and it was my first ever Pokemon game.
I usually catch a nidoran early in the game if I can afford it, and it learns double kick pretty soon. And fighting pwns rock-type.
Asked the Liberal: "What vanity prevents you from adopting Liberal values?"
I said: "What Liberal value isn't based on vanity?"
Asked the Conservative (Republican): "Why don't you assimilate into our culture?"
I said: "Because your culture demands assimilation".
Said the Democrat: "The majority must rule."
I said: "But what will rule the majority?"
Said the Neo-Conservative: "I believe we are the superior Civilization".
I said: "That's what makes you an inferior Civilization".
Said the Pragmatist: "Always choose the lesser of two evils".
I said: "Then your choices will always be evil".

trick room all the way. I love screwing people up with that move. I also love roost or any healing move if a good bulky pokmeon uses it lol(tanking ftw). as for attacking moves any move with good accuracy is good to me. any move with perfect accuracy is my fave as well like aurasphere. I also like moves with high priority( scizor is a good example. it has that technician abillity. combine that with bullet punch and you got one heck of a killer). lets tailwind is a favorite of mine too as I can get a nice speed boost for a few turns. as for legendary sig moves. zekrom and reshrom has THE best plus victini can learn them lol
Looking toward a brighter future

"Ile Maurice" Mauritius by Maximilian21
Mauritius Travel Guide: 1,625 reviews and 4,442 photos
Mauritius has a special place in my heart, mainly because both my parents are from the country. Its Impossible for me to call myself Mauritiuan because i was born and raised in Australia however i have always been intersted in my roots in order to find out more about myself.
I have always been curious about why my family left such a beautiful country . I guess they moved because of the uncertainity after the country gained independence but they also believed that there would be greater opportunity overseas than in a country with a population a little over a million people.
Inspite of its small population ,Mauritius remains one of the success stories of Africa. A country which has thrived inspite of having many of its skilled workers leave to seek opportunities around the world.
The island itself is absolutely amazing, with is wonderful beaches, and laid back lifestyle. It provides a place for people from around the world to come to, and enjoy what life was truly meant to be like.
When you come, have the courage not to sit on the beach all day, meet people from the mellange of races who exist on the island. It will hopefully change your mindset on island living
- Pros:Beautiful country
- Cons:Little expensive
- In a nutshell:must see island

Some very wonderful and personal pages here of a place that I would now consider visiting thank s to your pages.
A very nice description with beautiful pictures make me feel like hopping on a plane to Mauritius.
Great pages, was in Mauritius about 6 years ago and stayed near Blue Bay. Great Great Island.
what a beautiful place indeed!...the Dodo, always bring a smile on my face, funny lookin bird, too bad its not around anymore. Nice work here! ;D
Lovely pictures Shaun. How funny about wanting to put your sister on one of those lillypads! My favourite thing in Mauritius was the smoked Marlin - superb!

Philosophy for our times: cutting edge debates and talks from the world's leading thinkers
By Viewer Rating
The Storm and the Butterfly
Can we refine our scientific models?
We rely on our models to chart the future. Yet from the financial crash to climate change, life has a habit of defying prediction. Do our models necessarily fail? Must we live cautiously, in fear of unforeseeable risks, or can we refine our models to enable accuracy, reliability and prosperity?
Dying for Dior
Is fashion an aesthetic art form?
We think fashion is a harmless spectacle. But critics claim the industry relies on misogyny and exploitation. Is fashion an ugly sore at the heart of popular culture? Or is it an aesthetic art form that brings beauty to our lives and without which we risk slipping into Maoist monochrome?
Rethinking Feminism
Is there a universal goal for women's rights?
We think feminism fights for equality for everyone. But from the right to wear headscarves to the refusal of contraception, ideas of what is fair and what equality is vary dramatically. Does feminism lack a universal goal because its an impossible dream? Must we recognise feminism means different things in different places or should we all fight fo...
Truth, Lies and Self-Deception
Can we see ourselves clearly if we want to?
It is not an unusual human trait to imagine we are good when we are not, that we are loved when this is implausible, that we are selfless when we are selfish. But deep down, don't we know the truth? Can't we see ourselves clearly if we want to? Or is self-deception real, in which case who is doing the deceiving?
Everything We Know Is Wrong
Can science alone uncover the truth?
At a time of uncertainty and doubt, we often suppose that science alone can uncover the truth. Yet a recent paper found that 90% of scientific studies are notreproducible. Should we see science as a flawed method and look elsewhere for our truths, or is it the only direct line to reality we've got?
The Emperor's New God
Can art replace religion?
"I don't believe in God. I believe in Art." So claims Damien Hirst. Is this a PR pitch or could art be the ultimate reality? Can art provide the purpose of life and replace religion in teaching us how to live, or are Hirst and his cronies just modern Mad Men spinning us a new kind of lie?
Forbidden Fantasies
Where should we draw the line on sexual fantasy? Erotic Review founder Rowan Pelling ponders the intimate ideas banned from the bedroom.
Beyond Words
Is meaning a human fantasy?
Perhaps responsible for the success of the human species, the power of language is remarkable. Yet a description of love, or a storm at sea, is not the same as the experience. Might language not describe reality at all? Is meaning a human fantasy of unlimited power and risk, or does it tell us how it really is?
The Rise and Fall of Fantasy
Do we need new fantasies for the 21st Century?
Once we paraded grand visions of the future, now such goals are more typically left to the fanatical fringe. With economic and cultural growth in the East what vision does the West have to offer? Do we need new fantasies to meet the challenges of the 21st century or is our scepticism a sign of wisdom rather than decline?

WASHINGTON, D.C. (WUSA) -- Family and friends of Virginia Tech Officer Deriek Crouse gathered to remember the 39-year-old husband and father of five. His wife and 16-year-old son joined colleagues as they spoke of Crouse's love of the Pittsburgh Steelers, his job, and most of all, his family-- a family that included four stepsons.
"When he was at home, he liked to play, loved watching the Steelers on TV, loved to ride his motorcycle and loved to listen to the band Metallica," said Craig Floyd, CEO of the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund.
They spoke of Crouse's commitment to service and the need for sacrifice. And in Crouse's case, it was the ultimate sacrifice of his life on December 8th when he was shot and killed by a 22-year-old student, who took his own life shortly after.
"It brings back mixed feelings," said Major Gene Deisinger, Va. Tech Deputy Chief of Police. "Serving as acting chief, I feel responsible."
As the unveiling ceremony ended, Crouse's wife, son and colleagues all took an etching of the fallen officer's engraved name. It's one more keepsake to add to their collection of memories.
"He was a man who loved life, was vital," said Deisinger. "He brought a profound sense of humor to a job that can involve drudgery... he was a bright spot in the department."
Crouse joins some nearly 20,000 officers who are part of the national memorial. Next month, 362 officers will be dedicated during a candle vigil there. Of the 362 newly engraved names, Crouse is among the 163 officers who were killed last year. The names will be officially dedicated on May 13th, during National Police Week.

Primary ExaminerAlfred H. Eddleman [5 7 ABSTRACT In the operation of magnetic tape record/reproduce transports, a system is described for synchronizing the record/reproduce rates of at least two tapes at preselected and addressable signal storage locations thereon, each tape being carried by a different transport. In particular, a forward-backward counter is employed to monitor the time or phase separation between the selected storage locations associated with each transported tape and a digital-to-analog converter responsive to such counter is arranged to advance the signal transfer rate of one of the transported tapes while simultaneously retarding the signal transfer rate of the other tape so that the desired signal storage locations approach alignment. The differential advancement and retardation of the respective transports is gradually reduced to a level at which both [56] References Cited transpgrts are operatled a: equgl andlsltandard recorl'dre ro uce rates as t e se ecte 51 na ocations on t e UNITED STATES PATENTS p g respective tapes assume alignment condition. 3,192,509 6/1965 Durand. 360/72 11 Claims, 1 Drawing Figure CT.

More particularly, the invention concerns the synchronization of record or reproduce signals at selected storage locations on each of the record mediums.
The preferred embodiment of the invention will be described with respect to magnetic tape record systems; however it will be readily appreciated that the concepts of the present teaching may be applied to other signal storage equipment, for example, magnetic disc recorders. Special utility of the present invention is found in connection with systems where the information to be stored on the recording equipment is handled in units or segments of information, each segment adapted to be stored and retrieved from an addressable location on the magnetic tape. An example of this mode of operation is found in a system designed to store visual information by means of video tape recording equipment such as the system developed and produced by the Ampex Corporation of California. In the use of that system, it is many times desirable or necessary to enter or storeaprinted document onto two or of transports, one carrying the master tape and the other the file tape, such that these two recording operations could be performed simultaneously, the timesavings in terms of system time and operators time, would be highly beneficial.
Similar advantages could be realized in the retrieval of associated informationsegments from a plurality of tape storage locations, wherein portions of the recorded information are stored on different tapes, each carried by a separate transport. In the retrieval of a set of associated information segments, it would be desirable to synchronize the reproduce rate of one of the transports at a particular tape storage location with the reproduce rate of another transport at the selected storage location on its associated tape. Thus, reproduction of the information could be effected in a smooth continuous operation with the reproduced information appearing as though coming from the same tape. Such an operation would be incontrast to the heretofore cumbersome technique of pre-positioning the tapes of different transports to a preselected point upstream from the addressed storage locations and first synchronizing one of the transports and reproducing the information segment associated therewith, and thereupon synchronizing the second transport so as to reproduce its associated information segment. The disadvantage of this latter scheme resides in the occurrence of a time tion of the first to the second transport. Furthermore,
the advantages which would flow from the above described mode of operation are not limited to video signal storage systems. Substantial time-savings can be equally realized where the signals are of digital format and are recorded in multibit words (or the like) at addressable locations on the tape.
Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide an improved system for synchronizing the record/reproduce rates of a pair of transports with respect to predesignated storage locations on each storage medium carried by the separate transports. For ex ample, in connection with the storage of video images in a document storage and retrieval system wherein certain pages of a document are stored on one video tape and where the remaining pages of the same document are stored on a different video tape, the present invention provides for synchronizing the respective transports carrying these tapes at theproper tape address locations such that the document pages are reproduced in a continuous uniform sequence. Synchronization of the pair of transports is effected by measuring the relative positions of the selected tape storage locations in 'each transport and advancing the rate of one transport while simultaneously retarding the rate of the other transport until the desired storage locations approach alignment. At this point, the rate advancing and retarding functions are switched out and the rate and phase of the transports are jointly synchronized to a common reference signal. A forward-backward pulse counter is employed to monitor the relative displacement of the desired tape storage locations. With the counter preset to a center counting state, circuitry is provided for sensing the first selected storage location signal to be reproduced by the respective tape transports. Thereupon, control track pulses from the associated tape are fed into one side of the forward-backward counter to initiate counting in one direction relative to the center counter state. When the predesignated storage location signal from the second transport appears, circuitry provides for passing control track pulses from that transported tape to the other side of the forwardbackward counter so as to counteract the count accumulation associated with the first transport. A digitalto-analog converter is responsive to the instantaneous level of the counter and provides an analog rate control signal having an amplitude and polarity employed for simultaneously advancing one transport and retarding the other in the proper sense to bring the two desired tape storage locations into synchronization. As the magnitude of this analog rate control signal decreases, indicating that the state of the counter is again approaching its center count level, the rates of the respective transports are brought correspondingly closer to the normal or standard record/reproduce rate. When the counter resumes its center count for a sufficient period of time, the rate control signals from the digitalto-analog converter ar'e disabled and the transports are controlled by a standard reference signal with the desired storage locations on the tapes properly aligned.
A related tape transport synchronizing system is disclosed in copending application for US. patent Ser. No. 11,473, for a Rapid Frame Synchronization of Video Tape Reproduce Signals by Harold V. Clark and Gary B. Garagnon, filed Feb. 16, 1970, now US. Pat. No. 3,643,012, and assigned to the assignee of the present application. In that system, the off tape video frame rate is synchronized to a reference frame rate by employing a digital pulse count of off tape control track pulses and a train of reference pulses of corresponding periodicity and converting the accumulated digital count to an analog signal for controlling the tape rate of the transport. A rapid start-up synchronization for the video tape frame rate is thus achieved, wherein the particular frame at which the off tape signal becomes synchronized to the reference signal is not critical.
These and other objects, features and advantages of the invention will become apparent from the following description and the accompanying drawing illustrating the preferred embodiment of the invention.
The single drawing is a detailed block diagram of circuitry arranged and operating in accordance with the present invention to provide for synchronization of a pair of record/reproduce transports with selected tape storage locations aligned.
With reference to the drawing, the present invention provides for synchronizing the record/reproduce rates of a pair of transports I and 2 with selected signal storage locations or addresses prerecorded on the storage mediums carried by the respective transports aligned.
In this instance, each of transports l and 2 carries a magnetic tape (not shown) having a magnetic record format in which the information signals are disposed in discrete groups or segments and provided with prerecorded and addressable storage location signals. Each transport may be operated in a search mode to position the magnetic tape for recording or reproduction of any selected such address. For the present embodiment of the invention, the grouped information is recorded by means of magnetic heads rotating in a plane transverse to the direction of tape movement such that the tracks are substantially transverse to the tape length. Each information segment may correspond for example to a single frame of video information, in which case each storage location carries a frame pulse and a frame address identifying the start of that particular video frame, whether or not that location has actually been used. In addition, each tape is provided with a control track in the form of a magnetic track extending longitudinally with the tape and carrying a periodic pulse signal to be used in a feedback mode for maintaining the transport rate at a steady and desired level. A record format such as this is employed in the document storage and retrieval system developed and manufactured by Ampex Corporation, the as'signee of the present invention. However, the advantages of the present invention are applicable to other types of signal information and recording equipment. For example, in some known systems, the video information referred to above is replaced by digital information which is similarly stored in segments or grouped bits or words. Each such digital segment is stored at an addressed tape position and is associated with a prerecorded pulse signal identifying the start of the segment in the same manner that the frame pulse mentioned above identifies the start of each video frame.
In general, as illustrated by the drawing, when the system is commanded to synchronize any given pair of frames or storage locations, each associated with one of the tape transports 1 and 2, control track pulse information developed off tape from each of the transports is utilized to monitor the relative positions of the selected frame locations. This operation is effected by a forward-backward counter 1 1 responsive to a switching and detection circuit 21 associated with transport 1, and a switching and detection circuit 22 associated with transport 2, each circuit being operative to pass control track pulses from the respective transports to different inputs of counter 11. Counter 11 thereupon assumes a count condition representative of the phase difference between, i.e., number of storage locations separating alignment of the selected storage locations carried by the respective tapes in a manner described in greater detail herein.
Circuit 21 includes a frame selector 23 for detecting a selected one of the frame address signals received from transport 1 over a line 24. In response to the occurrence of the desired frame address, a frame pulse detector 26 and a preset input 27 of counter 11 are actuated over an output line 28 from selector 23. This operation causes counter 11 to assume a preset counting level, preferably near the center of the counting range. In this instance the counter is preset to a count of 31 with the counter having a 64 bit binary range. At the same time, detector 26 is enabled to respond to the occurrence of the next frame pulse which thus identifies the start of the selected frame off tape from transport 1. The frame pulses FPl are received by detector 26 over a line 29 from the transport. The combination of frame selector 23 and pulse detector 26 thus serves to sense the beginning of the desired frame on the tape of transport 1 and in response thereto detector 26, by means of an output line 31, enables a gate 32 to transmit control track pulses, CT2, to a forward input 33 of counter 11, where the control track pulses are received by gate 32 over a line 34 from transport 1. Accordingly, a reference time is established for the selected storage location or frame signal from transport 1 by accumulating control track pulses in a forward direction in counter 11 starting from the preset center count condition.
Referring to circuit 22, a similar arrangement of components is employed for initiating a control track pulse count off tape from transport 2 in response to the occurrence of a selected signal storage location or frame thereon. Here, a frame selector 36, functioning in response to a given selected frame location, senses the occurrence of a matching address from the address signals issued over a line 37 from transport 2 and in response thereto enables a frame pulse detector 38 over a line 39 to detect the first succeeding frame pulse to be issued from transport 2 over line 41. A gate 42 is accordingly actuated via an output line 43 of detector 38 to pass off tape control track pulses from transport 2 to a backward input 44 of counter 11 in response to the occurrence of the frame pulse associated with the selected frame location. The control track pulses are developed on an output line 46 extending between transport 2 and an input to gate 42 as shown.
Accordingly in operation, the selected frame or storage location associated with transport 1 is used as a reference, where counter 11 begins counting in a forward direction off the preset center count state and continues in this mode until the occurrence of the desired storage location or frame address associated with transport 2. whereupon, control track pulses from transport 2 are fed into counter 11 at input 44 so as to decrease the rate or reverse the direction at which counter 11 is advancing in response to control track pulses from transport 1. The instantaneous state of counter 11 at and following the occurrence of the frame pulse associated with transport 2 represents the phase or position relationship between the respective tape frame locations.
A digital-to-analog converter 51 is employed to de velop proportional rate control signals in response to the state of counter 11 for driving the pair of transports toward and into synchronization with the desired tape storage addresses aligned. For this purpose, converter 51 is connected to receive the plurality of bit outputs 52 from counter 11 and to develop an analog control signal at an output junction 53. Such analog signal has a magnitude proportional to the phase or position difference between the selected tape addresses and a polarity representing the sense in which such phase difference occurs, i.e., whether the selected address associated with transport 1 leads or lags the selected tape address of transport 2. The analog control signal generated at junction 53 is extended to rate control inputs 56 and 57 respectively of transports 1 and 2 through separate circuit paths 58 and 59, one of which includes a polarity or phase inversion so as to adjust the rates of the transports in opposite senses in response to the output of converter 51. So long as the selected tape storage locations associated with transport 1 and 2 remain out of synchronization, the transport rates are controlled by the output signal of converter 51 as described. However, when a synchronized condition has been attained, rate control inputs 56 and 57 are disconnected from the output of converter 51 and are con nected to be controlled by standard reference rate control circuits indicated at 61 and 62. To accomplish this changeover in the rate control mode, switching means indicated at 63 and 64 are jointly responsive to a synchronism detector 66 having an input 67 connected to junction 53. Detector 66 functions to sense a zero magnitude output at junction 53 and operate switching means 63 and 64 in response thereto.
Considering the response of transports l and 2 to the condition of counter 11, as above mentioned counter 11 is initially preset to a center count state which in this instance corresponds to counting state 31. Digital-toanalog converter 51 is designed such that its output at junction 53 develops an analog signal having a magnitude proportional to the number of counting states that the counter is offset from the center count of 31. The polarity of the signal at junction 53 corresponds to the direction in which such offset count occurs relative to the center count. For example, assume that the pulse counting operation of counter 11 has been activated first in response to a selected frame pulse off tape from transport 1 and subsequent thereto in response to a selected frame pulse from transport 2. For the interval between such pulses, counter 11 has accumulated control track pulse counts in a forward direction in response to forward input 33, such that when the frame pulse associated with transport 2 arrives, counter 11 is a certain number of count states off the center count 31 in the forward direction. In this condition, converter 51 develops a control signal having a magnitude corresponding to the number of off center counter states and a polarity indicating that the desired tape storage location associated with the tape transport 1 leads the selected frame location associated with the tape of transport 2. This analog control signal is passed through circuit 58 which includes a polarity inversion, here in the form of an inverter amplifier 71, through a controlled gate 72 to input 56 of transport 1 directing the transport to slow down by an amount proportional to the amplitude of the control signal. In this instance, the rate adjustment is effected by capstan servo 73 incorporated within transport 1 and driving the magnetic storage tape. In this manner, the phase or position of the selected storage address associated with transport 1 is effectively retarded in response to the output of converter 51.
Simultaneously with the passage of the control signal through circuit path 58, the control signal is fed through circuit path 59, however in the latter instance without polarity inversion. Circuit path 59 here includes an amplifier 76 (having its input and output in phase), and a controlled gate 77 selectively communicating amplifier 76 with input 57 of transport 2. The magnitude of the control signal is the same in path 59 as in path 58, however the signal polarities are opposite. A capstan servo 78 of transport 2 is responsive to thev signal at input 57 to advance the tape rate by an amount proportional thereto. In this manner, the tape rate of transport 2 is advanced by the same amount that the tape rate associated with transport 1 is retarded.
Due to the differential rate advancement and retardation of the respective transports, the control track pulse rate associated with transport 2 and applied to the backward input 44 of counter 11 soon exceeds the control track pulse rate associated with transport 1 and applied to counter input 33. Thereupon, the instantaneous state of counter 11 begins to recede from its far forward condition back toward the center count state. As the counter state changes, the magnitude of the converter output signal at junction 53 decreases toward zero and the differential advancement and retardation of transports l and 2 is gradually reduced such that the tape speeds converge toward equal and standard record/reproduce rates.
It may happen that a rapid differential speed change in the transports causes the tape rates to pass through synchronization in which case transport 2 would assume the lead relative to transport 1. If this occurs, the counter state would pass from the forward direction through center count toward the backward counter levels such that the polarity of the rate control signal at junction 53 passes through zero and assumes the opposite polarity to provide an appropriate adjustment of the transport rates.
Assume however, that counter 11 gradually steps toward its center counting state so that the tape rates are slowly brought into a stable synchronized condition. Synchronism detector 66 senses at its input 67 the zero condition of the output signal from converter 51 and in response thereto generates a switching function signal at an output 81. Responsive thereto, gates 72 and 77 are opened to block the passage of signals between amplifiers 71, 76 and inputs 56, 57 respectively; while gates 82 and 83 are simultaneously closed to connect rate control inputs 56 and 57 to the outputs 86 and 87 of phase comparators 88 and 89 respectively. The pair of gates 72 and 82 are operated in opposite senses (one being opened while the other closed and vice versa) by means of a control logic inverter 91 connected in the gate control circuit associated with gate 82. Similarly, a logic inverter 92 is connected in the control circuit of gate 83, such that gates 77 and 83 are operated in opposite senses in response to the switching signal developed at output 81.
Outputs 86 and 87 of phase comparators 88 and 89 respectively, develop control signals in response to a reference generator 96 for operating the transports at a nominal tape rate and phase. In particular, generator 96 develops a reference signal which is jointly fed to one input each of comparators 88 and 89 and whereupon it is compared with the control track pulse signals CTl and CT2 issued by the respective transports. Outputs 86 and 87 thus control transports 1 and 2 respectively wherein the associated tapes are driven at rates at which the off tape control track signals match the reference signal from generator 96.
Once the tapes are synchronized to the desired pair of frame addresses, they may be operated jointly in continued synchronization at that particular tape phase relationship. When it is desired to synchronize different storage locations on the respective tapes, the operations described above are repeated for the new addresses or frame locations.
It will be appreciated that in the operation of the present invention with rotary scan magnetic tape transports, such as the type referred to above for recording video and certain digital signals, the longitudinal tape rate is not necessarily related to the transfer rate of the information signal which is recorded along magnetic tracks transverse or angulated relative to the tape length. The functioning of these transports is such that the rotation of the magnetic heads determines the record/reproduce signal transfer rate while the longitudinal tape movement provided by the capstan drive merely positions the tape in a proper phase relation to the rotating transducers. Thus, where the information signal is recorded in segments or frames, the tape must be advanced to a proper position upstream from the desired frame address and thereupon driven at a standard tape rate so that the magnetic tracks corresponding to the desired information signal are disposed in phase with the rotating heads. To achieve this operation, the usual technique is to record a signal indicating the start of the information segment onto a longitudinal control track such that the tape may be properly positioned by monitoring only thelongitudinal control track. The signal indicating the start of the addressed storage location may be a frame pulse identifying the start of a video frame. Accordingly, in association with the present invention, the tapes are driven during the synchronization mode at rates which are respectively advanced and retarded relative to the normal tape speed so that certain of the information frames or frame locations are driven passed the rotating head assembly out of phase synchronism therewith. Upon approaching synchronization of the desired frame addresses and the longitudinal tape speeds returning to a standard rate, the transverse information tracks again become phase synchronized with the rotating magnetic heads so as to permit proper recording or reproducing of the signal information at the selected tape storage location.
