The invention concerns a system for recording and/or reproducing data signals on a magnetic recording medium, more particularly a new improved transducer locating system. The magnetic transducer is provided with an air gap for the data track and a second air gap for the reference track which latter is formed on a recording medium as a transition line between regions of varying magnetization and arranged within, or laterally of, the data track. As the transducer deviates from its desired track position, a correction signal is produced which is fed to a locating device to which the transducer is fitted, in order to adjust the position of the transducer.
The present application is a continuation-in-part of our copending application Ser. No. 605,412, filed Aug. 18, 1975, now abandoned.
The invention concerns a system for recording and/or reproducing data-representing signals on a magnetic recording medium, more particularly a new improved transducer locating system. The magnetic transducer is provided with an air gap for the data track and a second air gap for the reference track which latter is formed on a recording medium as a transition line between regions of different magnetization and arranged within, or laterally of, the data track. As the transducer deviates from its predetermined track position, a correction signal is produced which is fed to a locating device to which the transducer is fitted, in order to adjust the position of the transducer.
Such information as music, video signals or computer data is conventionally recorded on storage media in discrete tracks. These tracks may run longitudinally or obliquely on a recording medium or be arranged in concentric circles or in the shape of a spiral on a magnetic disc. In order to increase the data holding capacity, attempts have been made to increase the density of information longitudinally of the track and to increase also the density of the tracks themselves, i.e. the number of tracks per mm. A limit to the possible increase of track density is constituted by the reproducibility of the tracks on a mostly interchangeable recording medium and by the achievable mechanical accuracy of the transducer locating system.
While position control of the magnetic head is usually not adopted in the case of tape-like recording media, control methods and control loops are being employed for magnetic discs, in order to achieve the highest possible accuracy of transducer position control. The problem which arises with all these attempts is the question of how to produce a reference signal.
According to a known method (U.S. Pat. No. 3,534,344), for example, one side of the storage medium is used for the track-dependent control in the case of a multiple-disc pack. Here, servo tracks, as identical as possible with the desired track position, are written once and for all on the discs by the disc manufacturer. This enables a servo transducer continuously to issue signals during the subsequent employment of the storage device from which deviations of the transducer position from the desired position at a given time can be derived. The signals are used for the track alignment of the transducer system. In this disc storage system, therefore, the signals of a servo transducer control data transducers, rigidly connected thereto, on the other side of the disc. An unsatisfactory feature of this solution is the fact that one side of the storage disc has to be used wholly for accommodating servo tracks, so that its useful information capacity is lost. Another disadvantage is that the servo transducer, mechanically, is often separated from the data transducer by large distances. Mechanical stability and positioning accuracy are very important prerequisites for the satisfactory functioning of this process. A modification of this method as applied to single-disc storage systems provides for the employment of one side for the purpose of useful data and of the other side for position information.
According to another method, both useful data and position information are alternately written on one and the same track. This enables the position of the data transducer to be continuously controlled although only one surface of the recording medium is used. However, this solution still suffers from the disadvantage that part of the useful data capacity is lost and that the storage track is subdivided into a number of unalterable portion by the position information. Furthermore, the amount of electronic circuitry required for storing the position information along the path used for the useful data is considerable.
Other methods according to which the position data are derived from the useful data directly have not hitherto operated with the required reliability.
U.S. Pat. No. 3,753,252 describes a method whereby the track position is identified by magnetic and non-magnetic regions. To provide non-magnetic regions on the surface of the magnetic layer, an acid is allowed to affect selected regions. Quite apart from the obviously expensive nature of manufacturing recording media in this way, a special disadvantage is the resulting unalterable subdivision of the track which excludes the possibility of adapting the track density, and thus the capacity, to further developments in recording technology at a later date. Besides, the risk of impairment of other parts of the recording medium by the effects of the acid cannot be excluded.
U.S. Pat. No. 3,541,270 describes a magnetic head with two air gaps in juxtaposition, magnetically insulated from one another, both extending perpendicular to the direction of the track. The signals read by each head from one half of the data-bearing track are compared with one another and generate a signal for correcting the position of the magnetic head if the latter deviates from the predetermined track position. A disadvantage of this solution must be seen in the fact that transducer position control is not possible during recording. This means that known positioning methods have to be used in addition. Irregularities in the recording medium which cause signal amplitude losses, referred to as "drop-outs", and faulty pulses, referred to as "drop-ins", or signal fluctuations may lead to faulty positioning of the transducer.
Furthermore, magnetic disc and magnetic head systems with servo control are known in the case of which the inner radial part of a disc side is reserved for the servo tracks and the outer radial part for the data tracks. The system of magnetic heads allocated to these recording regions consists of a servo head and a data head (U.S. Pat. No. 3,175,205) or several data heads (U.S. Pat. No. 3,034,111) which, spaced apart from one another by a certain distance, are mounted on a common moving support. A disadvantage of these systems is that, owing to the servo region, data-recording capacity is lost if only one data head per disc surface is used or that an expensive system with several data heads per disc surface is required, in order thus to reduce the positioning range of the heads and minimize the loss of capacity and thus to reduce the radial dimension of the servo region. If in such an arrangement several data heads are mounted on one support, variations in the distance between these heads cannot be regulated by the servo-control system.
The present invention has for its object to generate continuous position information for controlling the position of the magnetic head, simultaneously with the useful information. Both types of information are to be derived in virtually the same place or in places of the storage medium spaced from each other as a result of the control lag, in order to include setting inaccuracies in the control loop and thus to compensate them. The method is also intended for application to flexible recording media.
According to the invention, these and other advantages are attained in that a reference track is formed by at least one linear transition between regions of different magnetization, arranged either within or on one side of the data track, and that at least one magnetic transducer is provided which has an air gap for the data track and a second air gap for the reference track, the transducer being supported in such a way that a reference signal can be generated by the transducer in the desired track position which is fed to a locating device and holds the transducer in alignment with the desired track, and that a correction signal is generated if the transducer is in misalignment with its desired track position which signal is fed to the transducer locating device, whereby the transducer is aligned with the track concerned.
The transducer locating control according to the invention is advantageously achieved by exploiting the space available between adjacent data tracks or within a data track, without loss of capacity for the data to be stored and with a high degree of accuracy by virtue of allocating a reference track to each individual data track and by avoiding costly mechanical coupling means between the magnetic head used for the transducer locating control and the magnetic head used for the storage of useful information. This transducer positioning system is not influenced by irregularities in the magnetic coating.
The invention will now be explained with reference to the accompanying drawings and the embodiments described below.
FIG. 11 a block diagram for deriving the correction signal according to FIGS. 10.0 to 10.10.
On a recording medium 1 consisting of magnetizable material, adjacent regions extending parallel to the data track 2 are magnetized differentially, after having been subjected to external magnetic fields (FIG. 1). The transition between these regions of differential magnetization forms the reference track 3 which enables accurate positioning of the write/read head above the data track and which, for this reason, is usually referred to as the "servo-track". It should be well understood that the term "recording media" refers to rigid media, e.g. magnetic storage discs, as well as to flexible recording media such as coated-foil discs.
It is an essential feature of the invention that the reference track 3, which is employed for the positioning of the transducer 11, 15, is formed exclusively by at least one variation of the magnetization by which the transducer 11,15 is affected upon its transition from one to the other of the regions forming the reference track 3. When a flux-variation sensitive transducer 15 is employed the magnetized regions themselves may be used to convey additional position information, for example in order to determine the position of the transducer 15 relative to the reference track 3 at a given time.
by magnetized and non-magnetizable regions.
The reference track 3 may obviously be formed also by two successive variations of magnetization.
The choice of the criteria of magnetic differentiation of the regions forming the reference track 3 depends essentially upon the type and design of the transducer 11,15 used for scanning, upon the properties of the recording medium and upon the track density and the position of the reference track 3 which latter may either be on one side of, i.e. adjacent to, the data track or within the latter. The arrangement within the data track would mainly be chosen if the track density no longer permits of magnetization between adjacent data tracks.
The magnetic lines of flux 4,5 of the regions forming the reference track 3 are always oriented in such a way that they can enter, via the air gap for the reference track 3 of the transducer 11,15, into the magnetic circuit of the latter.
Preferably, they run perpendicular or parallel to the reference track. However, any other orientation is feasible, given the appropriate arrangement of the air gap for the reference track 3.
If the reference track 3 is arranged within the data track 2, it is an advantage for the lines of flux 4 to run perpendicular to the data track, because there will then be a minimum of interaction between the perpendicular lines of flux of the data track and the reference track and because high selectivity can be achieved when scanning these two tracks.
The reference track 3 and the data track 2 may be recorded on a magnetic layer of uniform magnetic properties. It is an advantage, however, especially when the reference track is arranged within the data track, to establish the magnetic fields forming the reference track in those portions of a magnetic layer which have a higher coercivity than the layer portions in which data are stored, since this increases noise immunity. The layer portions of different coercivity may either by concentrated in different layers or provided in mixed arrangement in one and the same layer.
Recording media with magnetizable layers of different coercivity may be produced in a manner known per se, for example in that two magnetizable layers, separated by a thin, non-magnetizable intermediate layer, are applied successively to a support, e.g. a non-magnetic metallic disc. Preferably, it is the lower magnetic layer which has the higher coercivity and on which the reference tracks are recorded, whereas the upper magnetic layer in the vicinity of the magnetic head has the lower coercivity and is available for recording the data track. The thickness of the several magnetic layers depends upon the wavelength of the recording and is between 0.05 and 8.0 μm, preferably between 0.2 and 5.0 μm, the non-magnetizable intermediate layer having a thickness such that the magnetic layers separated by it cannot interfere with each other.
It has been found advantageous to make the coercivity of the magnetic layer for the reference track 1.3 to 5.0, and advantageously 1.5 to 3.0 times higher than that of the magnetic layer for the data track.
Disc-like supports consist of materials known per se, such as aluminum or its alloys, whereas known sheeting, preferably consisting of polyethylene terephthalate, is used for flexible recording media. Materials for the magnetizable layers may be ferromagnetic metals or metal oxides. For the layer of higher coercivity preferably ferromagnetic thin-film metal layers, especially consisting of cobalt, cobalt/iron, cobalt/nickel, cobalt/nickel/iron and also phosphorus, boron and/or nitrogen containing alloys of these metals are used. However, other suitable materials are metal oxides doped with these metals, e.g. cobalt-doped iron oxide. Where non-doped metal oxides are used, chromium dioxide is preferred. For the magnetic layer of lower coercivity, the metal oxides customary for magnetic data-recording media are being used, especially iron oxide or chromium dioxide.
For the intermediate layer, non-magnetizable materials such as aluminum or aluminum alloys and pigmented or non-pigmented polymer layers are used, which preferably have a similar composition as the magnetic layers.
Magnetic layers consisting of metal are produced by methods such as non-galvanic separation, galvanic separation or evaporation. They are known to those skilled in the art and will therefore not be described in further detail. The same applies to the coating processes for pigmented and non-pigmented polymer layers.
One possibility of recording both reference track and data track in one and the same magnetic layer having uniform magnetic properties but at different depths consists in suitably choosing the intensity of the magnetizing field and the recording density for the reference track, thus to achieve a deeply penetrating magnetization, this part of the process being followed by demagnetization of the upper part of the layer by suitable adjustment of the same parameters of the magnetizing field, in order to be able to record in this particular part of the layer the data track, by using less penetrating field parameters.
uniform magnetization of the entire recording medium, followed by linear erasing.
FIG. 2 shows various possibilities of magnetization, with its characteristic represented in cross-section of the recording medium, both within and between two adjacent reference tracks 3. In the case of FIG. 2a, region 6 between two reference tracks 3 is magnetized uniformly (-Φ). The two reference tracks themselves are formed by the steep transition 7 into a magnetizing region (+Φ) of opposite polarity in the adjacent region. FIG. 2b shows a derived arrangement, without magnetization in the regions denoted by the reference numeral 8.
In another embodiment according to FIGS. 2c and d, the magnetization quickly decays with growing distance from the reference track from its maxima 9 of opposite polarity between which the transition forming the reference track takes place, and approaches the zero value asymptotically.
In the embodiment according to FIG. 2e, the magnetization 12 rises sharply towards the reference track and again drops sharply on the other side. According to 2f, the reference track is formed by two transitions 14 of opposite polarity.
The reference track may either be ready by means of a transducer whose read voltage is proportional to the magnetic flux (for example, a Hall generator) or by means of a transducer whose read voltage is proportional to the variation of the magnetic flux (induction principle).
FIGS. 3a to c represent three fundamental positions of a flux-sensitive transducer 11 relative to the reference track. Upon deviation from the desired track position (FIGS. 3a and c), the magnetic field 10 below the transducer generates a read voltage U=±Umax whose polarity corresponds to the direction of the flux lines, and thus to the direction of the deviation. A correction signal derived from the read voltage moves the transducer in the direction towards the reference track, by means of a known locating device not shown here. When the transducer 11 is situated above the reference track 3 (FIG. 3b), the magnetic field 10 on either side of the reference track, which act upon the air gap 13 of the transducer, result in a read voltage level Uo =O V, or in any other desired voltage level X which corresponds to the desired track-related position.
When using an electro-dynamic transducer 15 according to FIGS. 4a to c, it is necessary for generating read voltage pulses (FIG. 10.3), to vary the magnetic flux in the air gap according to the induction principle by a relative movement between the reference track 3 and the air gap 13 of the transducer 15.
FIGS. 4a to c show fundamental positions indicating the alternating movements of the transducer 15. These movements may be generated, for example, by an electro-mechanical vibration system. The center positions of such a movement are indicated by a dash-dot line a. A double arrow b indicates the direction of movement. The deflection of the transducer 15 from its center position (line a) is preferably small enough for the read voltage signal scanned from the data track not to be interfered with at all, or only to a small extent. When the air gap 13 traverses the reference track 3 at which the magnetic flux 10 alters, a read voltage pulse is produced in the coil 17 of the transducer 15 whose amplitude and polarity and whose distance from the adjacent pulse depends upon the velocity and upon the phase of the transducer movement, as the reference track 3 is being traversed.
However, if the movement of the transducer 15 is such that noise is produced in the air gap picking up the useful data, then a decoupling filter network, known per se, may be used for filtering out the data signal.
The characteristics shown in FIG. 10 show, with reference to a substantially sinusoidal movement of the transducer 15 (FIG. 10.0) and to three different deviation characteristics from the reference track n in the shape of the curve in FIG. 10.7, the relationship between the several parameters of the movement and the generated correction pulses in diagrammatic representation.
FIG. 5 is a schematic diagram of the overall disk servo arrangement. A magnetic disk being scanned by a combined read/write and servo transducer 15, which is connected to a head position control stage 16 and servo circuitry 20, which together can be referred to as the "servo loop". A further connection leads to the data read/write circuitry 50, through which the data pass on their way from or to data sources/storage means (not shown).
FIG. 11 shows the block diagram of the servo loop in more detail. Each of the circuit modules, the combination of which is shown in block form in FIG. 11, is individually known per se in the art. The coaction of the various modules of FIG. 11 will become clear from the following description of FIG. 10.
FIG. 10 shows the movement of the transducer 15 relative to the reference track n, from which the correction signal is derived according to FIGS. 10.0-10.10 as set out in the following description. Track n is an arbitrary reference track like track 3 in FIG. 1 for instance. The block diagram in FIG. 11 comprises the transducer 15 of the abovementioned combined type, the output voltage of which--generally corresponding to that of FIG. 10.1--is fed into a preamplifier 51 and thereafter is frequency-limited for the elimination of noise by a bandpass stage 52. The output voltage of the bandpass is shown in FIG. 10.1.
The polarity of the pulses shown in solid lines corresponds to the direction of magnetization I in FIG. 10.0. Dashed lines show the pulses allocated to direction II, a positive and a negative signal detector 53 and 54 being connected to the output of the bandpass 52. The output voltages of the said two stages are shown in FIGS. 10.2 and 10.3. Each of said signal detector 53 and 54 consists of a differentiator and pulse shaper stage, e.g. a Schmitt trigger having a following one-shot stage. The two signal detectors/generators 53,54 generate pulses (A, B, C) of a length T1 (FIG. 10.2) and pulses (a, b, c) of a length T1/2 (FIG. 10.3), respectively. The period T1 is greater than the sampling time of the sample and hold circuit mentioned below.
The leading edges of the pulses (A1, B1, C1) trigger the integrator 55. The precharged capacitor is discharged with the same time constant when a leading edge of one of the pulses (a, b, c) occurs. Upon occurrence of the next pulse (A, B, C) the integrator 55 is reset to 0 (zero) potential. Then the output voltage of the integrator 55 is caused to increase by precharging of the capacitor to its maximum level, i.e. until the next leading edge of a pulse (a, b, c) appears.
The voltage decrease continues until the trailing edge of one of the pulses A2, B2, C2 appears and causes the S and H circuit to store the momentary voltage amplitude (sample). The storage period is predetermined, being the period tA between the trailing edges of two consecutive pulses A, B, C.
The stored voltage samples are shown in FIG. 10.5 as constant voltage levels which belong to a positive deviation (section A, arrows α), to the required position (period B, arrows β) and to a negative deviation (period C, arrows γ). The sampling of the potential is effected by the capacitor which holds the sampled voltage values for a given time. The stored signal then passes a low pass filter (LPF) 57 in order to produce a continuous signal curve representing the mean deviation of the transducer 15. On a larger time scale as compared with FIGS. 10.0-5, the output voltages of the sample and hold circuit 56 and the LPF 57 are shown in FIGS. 10.6 and 10.7. The output of LPF 57 is connected to an adder 58 which has its outputs connected to a sinewave generator 60 and a power amplifier circuit 59. The output of the power amplifier 59 is connected to the input of the DC servo motor 70, which activates a position-adjusting devide (PAD) 80, also known per se in the art, for the combined transducer 15. FIGS. 10.9 and 10.10 show the DC servo motor voltage or current on a large scale and on a small scale respectively. FIG. 10.10 is a nearly accurate inverse curve of the geometrical head moving curve shown in FIG. 10.0. Specifically, the diagrams contain the following signals: FIG. 10.6 a plurality of stored amplitude levels occurring at the output of the S and H circuit. FIG. 10.7 the mean voltage - the characteristic curve for the mean deviation of the position.
A constant sinewave (FIG. 10.8) produced by the sinewave generator 60, for instance a simple transformer, and added to the signal of FIG. 10.7 results in a superimposed control voltage or current (FIG. 10.9) for the DC servo motor 70. FIG. 10.10 shows a small portion of this control voltage. The deviation of the voltages UA and UC from the voltage UB which is allocated to the required position of the transducer, as regards level and polarity corresponds inversely to the mean deviation of the transducer from the reference track n and can be directly used for the purpose of track related positional correction by means of the DC servo motor 70 and the position-adjusting device 80. The latter, which is actuated by the servo motor in the case of correction, may be for example in the form of a helical screw which mechanically adjusts the position of the transducer in a manner known in the art.
The choice of the scanning principle, i.e. for a flux-sensitive or an electro-dynamic transducer 11, 15 is influenced essentially by the position of the reference track 3 or n relative to the data track 2, and the expense contemplated for a given scanning system. The transducer 11, which operates on the principle of flux proportionality, does not require any means for executing vibratory movements, but it is more noise-sensitive to extraneous magnetic fields, especially constant fields. It should therefore be chosen predominantly for reference tracks which are arranged on one side of the data track 2.
Electro-dynamic transducers 15 have long been exclusively used, with few exceptions, in magnetic storage technology, especially in data processing peripheral storage systems. Consequently well-proven optimized manufacturing methods are generally known. There methods may be used for the purpose of track-related transducer position control according to the present invention if the relative movement between transducer 15, necessary for scanning the reference track 3, can be achieved with little expense while safeguarding the requiste positional accuracy. In disc storage systems, for example, the possibility exists, due to the available positioning drive for the transducer scanning the data tracks, of generating the vibration of the air gap for the reference track by means of an alternating voltage superimposed on the positioning signal, for example in the case of a linear motor used as a positioning drive.
The most advantageous embodiment of the transducer 11, 15 depends upon the way the reference track 3 or n or the flux lines 4, 5 which form the reference track, are arranged. Therefore, many solutions are possible. Below, only those embodiments will be described which are needed for the fundamental understanding of the present invention.
FIGS. 6, 7 and 8 show one design for the arrangement of the reference track 3 with flux lines 4 perpendicular thereto, adjacent the data track 2. In FIG. 6--viewed perpendicularly to the direction of the reference track 3--a part of the magnetic core 30 which, together with the air gap 31, forms the magnetic circuit for the data track 2, is extended to one side in such a way that a lateral magnetic circuit 32 with air gap 33 for the reference track 3 is formed as shown in sectional representation in FIG. 7. FIG. 8 shows the sections of the magnetic system along lines I--I in FIG. 6 and III--III in FIG. 7. Both these partial heads are capable of operating fully or partly independently of one another, whether they work on the flux-proportional or the flux-variation proportional principle. By modifying this design in such a way that the portion forming the magnetic circuit 32 is arranged not laterally, but on the magnetic core 30 in the direction of the data track 2, the transducer 11, 15 for a reference track 3 situated closely beside, or within, the data track 2, is obtained. It consists of three poles situated behind one another. In that case, the flux lines forming the reference track 3 run parallel with the reference track, in accordance with the orientation of the air gap. If the flux line is desired to run perpendicular to the reference track 3, logical modification of the design produces an arrangement in which two annular magnetic circuits, each forming an air gap, are perpendicular to one another.
In special cases it may be favorable to arrange, for a transducer 15 working on the flux variation sensitive principle, two separately constructed magnetic head systems, each with an air gap and both arranged on a common support such that the system which executes oscillations for scanning the reference track 3 is movably mounted on the common support and dynamically decoupled from the system serving the data track 2 by resilient damping means.
If the reference track 3 is arranged within the data track 2 it is possible to employ a transducer 11, 15 with a single air gap, provided the flux lines of the reference and the data track run more or less parallel with one another. The track position information in the shape of the direct voltage component explained earlier on in connection with FIGS. 3a to c is contained in the read signal of the transducer operating on the flux-proportional principle. The useful information is represented by an alternating voltage corresponding to the changes of the magnetic states by which the two data levels "0" and "1" are defined and which are superimposed on the direct voltage component of the track-dependent control. To separate the two signals, a filter of known type may be provided. For the arrangement of flux lines forming the reference track 3 within the data track 2, perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the track, an advantageous embodiment of the invention provides for a transducer 15 in which the magnetic core consists of a pole piece 40 and a pole piece subdivided, parallel to the longitudinal direction of the recording track, into two halves 41 and 42. The two pole pieces--40 and 41,42 respectively--are separated by the air gap 43 for the data track 2. The air gap 46 for the reference track 3 is formed by the two pole piece halves 41 and 42. The two pole pieces 40 and 41,42 respectively are separated by the air gap for the data track 2. The two yokes 44 and 45 are provided in staggered arrangement, to enable an electro-magnetic transducer for obtaining the position information--in the present embodiment a coil 48--to be fitted to yoke 45. The magnetic circuit for the data track 2 is completed by means of the pole piece 40 with coil 47, the yokes 44 and 45, the pole piece halves 41 and 42 and the air gap 43; the circuit for the reference track by means of the pole piece halves 41, the yokes 44 and 45 with coil 48, the pole piece half 42 and the air gap 46. Both these partial heads may operate, independently of one another, either on the flux-proportional or on the flux-variation proportional principle. The accuracy of the track-dependent control is inversely proportional to the gap width of the transducer 11,15 for the reference track 3. For current track densities, the width of the air gap is therefore preferably between 1 and 50 μm, and advantageously between 2 and 20 μm.
Suitable magnetic materials for the pole pieces are soft magnetic materials such as mu-metal or ferrite, as is well known. For converting the magnetic recordings forming the reference track into signal voltages in the case of a flux variation sensitive transducer, a coil consisting of enamel-insulated copper wire, wound around a pole piece of the magnetic circuit for the reference track, is used, whereas in the case of a flux sensitive transducer a Hall generator, arranged in the magnetic circuit, effects this conversion.
As has already been pointed out earlier, the reference track 3 of the recording medium is preferably applied thereto before it is used for recording and playback purposes. Such a magnetic recording medium 1 for magneto-dynamic data storage with a reference track 3 for track-related control of the position of transducer 11,15 has, according to the invention, regions of different magnetization in and/or below the magnetic layer intended for the storage of data, the reference track 3, which can be scanned for the purpose of track-dependent control of the position of the data scanning member during recording or playback operations being formed by the substantially linear transition between these different regions.
The advantages of such a recording medium will have been gathered from the foregoing description of the invention. What we must specially emphasize once more at this point as a very simple method of applying the reference track is a suitable copying method which enables the processing of the recording media in an economic way in large-scale production. The type of reference track as such increases the value of a recording medium, as has already been explained in detail earlier on, also in view of the fact that the invention provides for a line-type, extremely space-saving form of reference track. This track-dependent transducer position control system of the invention has been tried very successfully on a series of tests and, in view of the negligible additional expense and the high reliability, must be considered a progressive contribution to magnetic storage technology.
To a disc-like aluminum support of the type used for the magnetic discs of disc-storage systems are applied a first magnetic cobalt layer of 2 μm thickness and a second magnetic iron oxide layer of the same thickness, these two magnetic layers being separated by a non-magnetic copper layer of about 10 μm thickness. The coercivity of the cobalt layer is approximately 600 Oersted, and that of the iron oxide layer about 300 Oersted. The lower (cobalt) layer has been magnetized over the entire recording range of the recording medium with concentric, closely adjacent tracks, reference tracks being formed by the transitions between these adjacent tracks and the flux lines of successive tracks being perpendicular to the reference track and opposing one another. Therefore, the width of the individual magnetized regions forming the reference tracks is equal to the distance between two adjacent reference tracks, and thus equal to the distance of the center lines of two adjacent data tracks.
During the storage of data, the data tracks can be recorded, played back and erased in the upper, iron oxide layer by using the magnetic field intensities customary in data storage on disc storage decks, without thereby erasing the magnetized regions of the reference tracks in the lower coating.
The transducer is designed according to FIG. 8, so that the reference track runs on one side of the data track. The signal voltage of the reference track is generated according to the flux-proportional principle, whereas that of the data track is generated according to the flux variation proportional principle. The width of the gap for the reference tracks is 10 μm. The width of the gap for the data track is 2 μm, in accordance with the recording density and rotational speed customary in disc storage systems.

If you already have a lamp base, you'll want a custom lamp shade that compliments it beautifully. When ordering a custom lamp shade or replacement lamp shade by elle daniel, we'll guide you every step of the way to determine the size, shape, style, and colors you need to match your base. Feel free to contact us now with any questions about our custom lamp shades.
The larger your base, the larger your custom lamp shade needs to be. Here are some general guidelines and tips on sizing your custom lamp shade.
Shade height should be approximately 3/4 the height of your base.
Shade width should be approximately equal to the height of your base (bottom to socket).
Shade width should be greater than the widest part of your base.
NOTE: For a reading lamp, you may want a shade with a wider bottom to filter more light.
It's important to have enough space between your custom lamp shade and your light bulb. If your shade's too close to the bulb, it can cause discoloration and far worse.
Compact Fluorescents Bulbs: Allow at least 1-2 inches between shade and bulb.
40-60 Watt Incandescent Bulbs: Allow at least 1-2 inches between shade and bulb.
75-100 Watt Incandescent Bulbs: Allow at least 2-3 inches between shade and bulb.
150+ Watt Incandescent Bulbs: Allow at least 3-4 inches between shade and bulb.
NOTE: Never exceed the lamp's maximum wattage.
Consider the shape and style of your base. Is it modern, vintage, square, round? You'll want a custom lamp shade that matches the overall "theme" of your base.
At elle daniel, we're all about adding flair, beauty and style to your living space. So don't be afraid of a little color! However, know that darker color shades and lighter color shades offer different benefits.
Light colored lamp shades will allow more light to filter into the room.
Dark colored lamp shades are great for ambience and mood.
We hope you've enjoyed our tips for matching your custom lamp shade to your base. Please don't hesitate to contact us with any questions about ordering a custom lamp shade!


This Week: An Emilia Comedy Trifecta! | Paul's Voyage of Discovery & Etc.
This Week: An Emilia Comedy Trifecta!
For the first couple of decades that my wife and I lived in Los Angeles we rarely went to nightclubs because we were raising children. We rarely went over the Santa Monica mountains to enjoy the nightlife in Hollywood – or all the way to Silver Lake.
However, now that the kids we raised are (somehow) all performing in nightclubs, we find ourselves going out to all those entertaining spots we missed while hovering over our babies.
This week, we'll be hitting the clubs three times to see our very funny daughter Emilia work the crowds with her standup comedy act.
On Monday May 19 at 8:00 PM, Emilia will perform in "The Comedy Madness Show" in the Main Room at the famous Comedy Store on the Sunset Strip.
You can't get tickets online for this one – so you'll just have to get in line behind me and get them at the club.
On Thursday May 22 at 8:00 PM, she'll be knocking them dead at the Leche Lounge in the Malo Cantina on Sunset Boulevard in Silver Lake.
If you come to the gig at the Leche Lounge you'll want to come early enough to enjoy the food at Malo Cantina. It's tasty, spicy Mexican cuisine that will fortify you for the night of laughter ahead.
And on Friday May 23 at 10:00, she'll be back at The Comedy Store, appearing on the bill in The Belly Room.
So, come on out and enjoy my daughter Emilia's unique brand of comedy.
I'll be there. I'll be that guy laughing and having fun with a glass of wine in my hand who no longer needs to hire a babysitter in order to go to a nightclub.
Because my baby is on the bill.
Is your daughter playing anywhere this weekend ? My daughter and I would love to see her perform. I hope I can access your reply.
Alas, not this weekend. Later in the week she's playing the upstairs room at The Federal bar in North Hollywood.
Oh my! LOL. Perhaps that graphic should be updated and re-posted today, n'est-ce pas?
Question: is it dangerous, or even something worse, to worship a cult-of-personality orator who tells us everything we want to hear?

Facebook to Let Users Add Songs to Their Profile
Matt Southern October 24, 2018
Facebook has announced a series of new features that expand the ways users share and connect with music.
In a throwback to MySpace, Facebook will soon allow users to add songs to their profile page.
Users will be able to pin a song to the top of their profile page, as well as curate a collection of songs in a dedicated music section.
Unlike MySpace days, when people could listen to full versions of songs, Facebook users will only be able to add clips of songs to their profile.
When other users play a song clip they will also see an accompanying video featuring photos of the artist and album art.
Other Music-centric Features
Music in Stories
A new feature available today lets users add a song to photos and videos shared in Facebook stories.
Songs can be added by selecting the music sticker from the sticker section. Users can even choose the specific section of the song they want to share.
Perhaps this will encourage more people to actually use Facebook stories.
Facebook says this feature will eventually be coming to regular posts in the news feed as well.
Expanding Lip Sync Live
Facebook is rolling out its Lip Sync Live feature to all profiles in "many" countries around the world.
Lip Sync Live is exactly what it sounds like – a live broadcast where users can lip sync to a selection of songs.
Facebook is opening up the feature to more artists and creators by expanding it to pages as well as personal profiles.
Starting today, users will also be able to see lyrics displayed on the screen while they lip sync.

Harry Price was a British psychic researcher and author, who gained public prominence for his investigations into psychical phenomena and his exposing of fake Spiritualists.
If there was a single person to come out of the "golden age" of Spiritualism, and the investigations that surrounded the movement, with the most influence on the field of paranormal investigation as we know it today, that person was Harry Price. Although disliked and distrusted by many, there is no denying that he was one of the most influential figures in the formative years of ghost research. He was a highly charismatic personality whose energy and enthusiasm for the paranormal made him the first "celebrity ghost hunter". Price was instrumental in bringing ghost research to the general public, realizing that only by making the research entertaining could he attract the attention of the many. Because of this, after his death in 1948, jealous "colleagues" would attack not only Price's research, but also the man himself, staining his reputation for years to come.
It was during the golden age of Spiritualism that Price first emerged as an investigator of psychical activity. During this era, researchers were working in a volatile climate that was charged with accusations of fraud against many of the mediums — as well as some of the investigators. Price began to make a name for himself in the waning days of the Spiritualist movement —- and began to make many enemies as well.
he first séance brought some surprises, namely that Stella, who had never considered herself a medium, had a spirit control who came through to the sitters. The spirit guide, "Palma", communicated by rapping and would follow requests made to it, like moving a heavy oak table in various directions around the room. At the same séance, thermometers recorded rapid temperature drops. These swift changes would become a staple of Stella's séances.
And then, even as Hope was preparing his report, Price rocked the paranormal community with the announcement that Rudi was a fraud. As evidence, he produced a photograph that was taken during a séance and which showed Rudi reaching for a table. The grainy image managed to destroy Rudi's reputation and embarrassed the investigators who had declared him to be genuine, including Harry Price. Those who claimed that Price was simply a publicity-seeking fraud were hard-pressed to explain why he would have damaged his own reputation in this way.
Another of Price's strangest (although possibly genuine) cases was that of Gef, the Talking Mongoose of Cashen's Gap, and yes, if you are not familiar with the case, you did read that right — a talking animal! The case began in 1931 with a disembodied voice claiming to be that of a mongoose, a weasel-like creature. It began at an isolated place on the Isle of Man and according to the Irving family, who lived at Cashen's Gap, this creature ate rabbits, spoke in various languages, imitated other animals and even recited nursery rhymes.


Weekend Open Forum: How powerful is your PSU?
550w Cooler Master, as you can see in my specs. Salute you!
I run a Ultra X4 750 watt PSU, 52amps on single 12v rail. Rock solid PSU.
You talk about boring, have I got boring for you.
Whatever it is, I pretty much slap an Antec "Earthwatts" EA-380 in it. This due to my habitual dependence on IGP "solutions". That said, ironically I have an Antec EA-430 in my Core i3-530 build. This would be the machine that needs the least power to run. Hey, it was laying around, and I got it on sale.
I have an ABS SL1050 1050 watt. Modular cables, single 12V rail, 80 PLUS Silver certified. Runs my SLI rig with plenty of power to spare for add-ons.
That's quite the setup you have red1776. Got any pics of your rig?
@ Tom, this is what it will look like for about another hour, I am moving,modding etc to a different case as we speak.
Corsair 750TX. Solid, reliable and quiet. What more could I ask for.
How can I vote, mine is 1000W but there's no 1000W in the selection.
"900-999W" you can't find 1000W in this range.
"Over 1000W" is obviously not equal to 1000W.
I got my Antec Earthwatts 380w for sale too, it runs my 9600gt.
Not nearly powerful enough. When the graphics ramp to 3D clocks I notice that the neighbours house lights don't dim at all....clearly, the Corsair HX1000 and TX750 need some severe upgrading.
What case do you use?? How do you make it all fit?
That picture is in a Sunbeam AC-9 acrylic...way too cramped, as we speak I am moving it (making some changes) and putting it in the ubiquitous Coolermaster HAF 932.
Easy! You just need to connect the room lights to the same 15 amp line as the PSU. If that isn't enough, connect a dummy load, such as a small space heater also. Then you install your slow pop breaker, kick back and watch the intimidation happen. OK, who says that an evening of game play and intimidation can't be in an intimate setting.
Sadly this only works at your location. You'd have to work out a dimming conspiracy with your neighbors. Yeah right, I know, dealing with neighbors is way, way more trouble than it's worth.
Need a boost of the psych factor? loosen the bolts on the PSU transformer, that should add an eerie humm to the mix.
Silverstone is my favour....next might want to have a Seasonic PSU. Cheaper...but still provide the juice.
The last 5 PCs I built for myself have had either a Silverstone OP850 850W (3 PCs) or a Corsair TX850 850W PSU (2 PCs).
I just upgraded my modular OCZ Fatal1ty 550w psu to a Kingwin LZ-1000 1000w modular for my gaming rig. The 550w psu was relocated to my htpc.
So you decided on the 932 eh? Nice choice my friend. I can't wait to see it completed! By next week I'll throw some shots of my Cosmos S up as well.
I looked at the cosmos, that thing is a tank! maybe the roomiest case ever. they were out of it at Micro center the day I went, so I picked up the 932. Its a little 'military industrial' but it will work for the WC when I get to it.

Microsoft is constructing a 5 building technology center in Arizona
Kareem Anderson Email @MindHead1 Dec 19th, 2018 in Latest news
Microsoft looks to be expanding its physical footprint even further after news surfaced that the company applied for and was approved for a re-zoning permit on 279 acres it purchased earlier this year in Arizona.
The company's new plot of land, near the Phoenix Goodyear Airport, is reported to have cost Microsoft upwards of $48 million. While purchasing land is nothing new for Microsoft, especially during a time when cloud service providers are competing on the number of server farms they can host, what's interesting about the new purchase is precisely the classification of the area.
Microsoft's new piece of Phoenix land has been declared a Superfund site due in large part to the toxicity of the area caused by years of AirForce testing, run-off, and other practices.
According to the AZCentral publication, the Goodyear City Council (yep, that's a real name) approved of Microsoft's request after a 14-minute discussion with the following concessions for building:
Increasing building height from 50 feet to 60 feet.
Increasing how much of the land can have buildings.
Building with a metal facade.
Using chain-link fencing.
Microsoft has been relatively tightlipped about the entire purchase with only a few details being disclosed through public record, however, concluding its recent Zoning Commission meeting, a spokesperson did issue the following statement via email,
"Microsoft currently operates in Arizona and is continuously exploring new locations to support the growing demand for our products and services. There is no additional information to share at this time."
So far, what Microsoft plans to do with its 279 acres of toxic land remains shrouded by a vague "technology center" banner found in documents, it'll be interesting to see what $48 million turns into.
While former CEO Bill Gates only servers in an advisory role to current Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella, it should be noted that Gates has already invested $80 million through his investment group to build a "smart city" roughly 20 miles away.

Morgan Harrington Murder Breaking News: Virginia State Police To Announce Link to Fairfax Case
Fairfax assault suspect linked to Va. Tech student's murder
By Rex Bowman
State investigators trying to solve the murder of Roanoke County woman Morgan Harrington said today they have linked her case to the 2005 unsolved abduction and assault of another woman in Fairfax County.
In a written statement, Virginia State Police said: "In September 2005, a Fairfax woman was abducted and sexually assaulted and City of Fairfax Police detectives were able to create a composite sketch based on the victim's description of the suspect. However, the suspect may have changed his appearance over the course of the past five years."
Police said they linked the case to Harrington's murder through forensic evidence.
According to a Sept. 27, 2005 article in the Washington Post, the Fairfax case involved a 26-year-old woman who was sexually assaulted as she walked home from a nearby grocery store.
The woman told police she was walking in the 3700 block of Jermantown Road after she left the store about 10 p.m. when a man grabbed her, dragged her to a wooded area and assaulted her, police said at the time.
The man fled when a passerby came upon the attack, according to the newspaper account.
Harrington, a 20-year-old Virginia Tech student, disappeared from a Metallica concert in Charlottesville on Oct. 17. Her body was found Jan. 26 in a remote field of an Albemarle County farm, about 10 miles south of the arena where the concert was held.
Virginia State Police have said they suspect Harrington's killer is someone intimately familiar with the Anchorage Farm area where her body found.
http://hamptonroads.com/node/560641
Thank you Nutt.
JVM has the Harrington's on now.
Great news that they have a forensic link.
(Wonder how long they have had it?)
http://www.newsplex.com/home/headlines/97589684.html
CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. -- Virginia State Police say there is a forensic connection between Morgan Harrington's disappearance and death and an unsolved 2005 sexual assault case out of the City of Fairfax.
Investigators are asking for the public's help in identifying the suspect in the Fairfax case based on a composite sketch of the man. Police sent out a composite drawing of the attacker in the 2005 Fairfax case, in which a woman was sexually assaulted. The sketch was put together shortly after the crime based on the account of the victim.
"We're at a stage when we felt, at this point, let's go public. Let's see if anyone in the Charlottesville area or even in Northern Virginia may recognize this individual," Virginia State Police spokeswoman Corinne Geller said.
However, police warn that the suspect may have changed his appearance over the course of the past five years. According to the wanted poster, the suspect in the 2005 case is a black male between 25 and 35 years old, about 6 feet tall and with a medium build.
Harrington, 20, of Roanoke, Va., went missing from the University of Virginia campus in Charlottesville during a Metallica concert on the night of Oct. 17, 2009. Her remains were discovered Jan. 26, 2010, on Anchorage Farm in southern Albemarle County, just south of Charlottesville. Her death is being investigated as a homicide.
David Bass, the owner of Anchorage Farm, said he does not recognize the person depicted in the sketch. Police say that the location where her body was found is still critical to the investigation. They say that Harrington's killer had to be familiar with the area, but it is unclear where the suspect resides.
Virginia State Police Bureau of Criminal Investigation's Appomattox Field Office, University of Virginia Police, Albemarle County Police and the Charlottesville Police are working with the City of Fairfax Police in regards to both criminal incidents.
Those with information about the man featured in the wanted poster may contact City of Fairfax Police Detective Mike Boone at (703) 385-7959.
Anyone wishing to provide information in the Morgan Harrington case is encouraged to call the Jefferson Area Crime Stoppers at (434) 977-4000 or Virginia State Police at (434) 352-3467 or email State Police at bci-appomattox@vsp.virginia.gov. A reward of $150,041 is still available for anyone with information that leads to a resolution of the Harrington crime.
The parents of Morgan Harrington were briefed by Virginia State Police this afternoon and described their emotions on what has been the most significant day in this murder investigation.
It's been a long eight months for Dan and Gil Harrington. They have spent a lot of time traveling to keep their daughter's memory alive.
The Harringtons have made several trips to Charlottesville to make sure their daughter's death stayed in the public eye. The Harringtons spent Thursday in their Roanoke County home.
State Police investigators handling the investigation briefed the family about the new developments. The Harringtons said they have been looking for any piece of hard evidence. Now, they have renewed hope of solving the case.
"There's a killer among us. Now, there's a face to it, which makes me very angry when I see it, because it's concrete," Dan Harrington said. "Before, it was abstraction, but now there's a person, there's actually a face."
"When I first heard they had a DNA link to a previous crime, It's hard to say you're happy about such an obscene thing," Gil Harrington said. "We were, in fact, happy because the likelihood of getting an arrest and a conviction increased astronomically."
Now, the Harringtons said they are much more confident there will be an eventual conviction in the case.

State Police Asking For Public's Help In Identifying Assault Suspect Linked To Morgan Harrington Homicide
Charlottesville, Va. – State and local investigators are pursuing a forensic connection between the disappearance and death of Virginia Tech student, Morgan Harrington, and an unsolved 2005 abduction and sexual assault in the City of Fairfax. Investigators are asking for the public's help in identifying the suspect in the Fairfax case based on a composite sketch of the man.
Forensic evidence recovered during the course of the Harrington investigation has confirmed the link to the City of Fairfax assault.

Police link Virginia student slaying, 2005 sex assault
By the CNN Wire Staff
July 1, 2010 9:05 p.m. EDT
(CNN) -- Forensic evidence links the cases of a University of Virginia student believed slain in October and the kidnapping and sexual assault of another woman four years earlier, state police announced Thursday.
The surviving victim was able to provide a description of her attacker to police, and detectives have begun circulating anew a sketch developed from her recollection. Investigators have asked the public to help find the suspect in that abduction, which took place in 2005 in Fairfax, Virginia, outside Washington.
The announcement is a new turn in the 2009 killing of Morgan Harrington, a 20-year-old student at the University of Virginia, and her parents told HLN's "Issues with Jane Velez-Mitchell" that they had mixed emotions about the news.
"It's hard to say that you're happy about an obscenity," her mother, Gil Harrington, said Thursday night. "But in effect, we were happy that we were one step closer to finding and apprehending this vicious predator and getting him off the streets."
Harrington's father, Roanoke psychiatrist Dr. Dan Harrington, said the emergence of a suspect's sketch has made him angry, "maybe for the first time."
"Obviously, we know Morgan was murdered, but it was an abstraction," he said. "There was no one that you could put a face to. But today, there's the concrete picture of this man, and it seems to me that for the first time, anger became way more of a prominent emotion for me."
Harrington disappeared October 17 after a rock concert at the college's Charlottesville campus, and her skeletal remains were found by a nearby farmer in January.
Virginia state police did not disclose details of the forensic evidence that links her case to the attack in Fairfax, about 80 miles away. But the Washington Post, citing unnamed sources, said the cases are linked by a DNA match.
Police warn that because the sketch is five years old, the person it depicts may have changed his appearance.
Gil Harrington, a nurse, said her daughter's case shows that "the social framework that views women as prey" needs to be changed.
"It is something that I think you have to start from young ages with children, that you're training them not to beat up and not to act out," she said. "But you would think in 2010 that we would be working on issues of cherishing and upholding each other in relationships rather than can we just stop hurting each other. But unfortunately, that's where we're stuck. We have to disallow it."

Is it just me..or does anyone else think this guy looks very neat and professional in that sketch?
A neatly trimmed beard and mustache, neatly trimmed hair...he just looks like someone that takes care of his appearance..not some street thug.
Could he be a professional in LE, fireman, EMS or even college professor?

RICHMOND, Va. - Virginia State Police say there could be a big break in the murder of a Virginia Tech student. Morgan Harrington disappeared last October in Charlottesville after attending a Metallica concert. Her remains were found in late January on a remote farm in Albemarle County.
Investigators say there is a forensic link from that crime to an unsolved sexual assault and abduction in Fairfax City back in September of 2005.
In that case, police say a 26-year-old woman walking home from the grocery store was grabbed from behind as she entered a townhouse community on Rock Garden Drive. The man carried her to a park near a swimming pool. Police say he sexually and physically assaulted her.
That woman survived and gave police a description of her attacker. Now they are hoping someone will recognize that suspect from the sketch.

STATE POLICE ASKING FOR PUBLIC'S HELP IN IDENTIFYING
ASSAULT SUSPECT LINKED TO MORGAN HARRINGTON HOMICIDE
CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. – State and local investigators are pursuing a forensic connection between the disappearance and death of Virginia Tech student, Morgan Harrington, and an unsolved 2005 abduction and sexual assault in the City of Fairfax. Investigators are asking for the public's help in identifying the suspect in the Fairfax case based on a composite sketch of the man.
Forensic evidence recovered during the course of the Harrington investigation has confirmed the link to the City of Fairfax assault. In September 2005, a Fairfax woman was abducted and sexually assaulted and City of Fairfax Police detectives were able to create a composite sketch based on the victim's description of the suspect. However, the suspect may have changed his appearance over the course of the past five years.
Harrington, 20, of Roanoke, Va., went missing from the University of Virginia campus in Charlottesville during a Metallica concert on the night of Oct. 17, 2009. Her remains were discovered Jan. 26, 2010, by the landowner of Anchorage Farm in southern Albemarle County. The skeletal remains were located in a field on the 700-acre property. Morgan Harrington's death is being investigated as a homicide.

Prokofiev Piano Concerto No. 5 / CBSO / cond. Mirga Gražinytė-Tyla
" a fearlessly accurate and athletic Kozhukhin following in the footsteps of two other eminent Russian pianists who have championed this work, Sviatoslav Richter and Vladimir Ashkenazy…Striking to this performance was its dazzling spontaneity, where soloist and conductor were in total command of its ever-changing material, where pianistic pyrotechnics suddenly yield to gentle musing…Ideas turn on a sixpence in the Vivo and its garishness and gentle ambiguities were fully realised by Kozhukhin and a superbly supportive CBSO."

Tchaikovsky: Piano Concerto No. 1 / Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra / cond. Jamie Phillips
" […] Russian soloist Denis Kozhukhin gave a superb performance combining great power and virility…along with musicality and subtlety all delivered with consummate technical ease. The first movement cadenza was notably dramatic and poetic. The ending to the final movement was particularly splendid. […] "
Prokofiev: Piano Concerto No.2 / Iceland Symphony Orchestra / cond. Antonio Mendez
"[…] In short, Kozhukhin´s playing was one of the greatest fireworks displays I have witnessed in Harpa … His playing was technically outstanding and so full of power and excitement that one unwittingly searched for seatbelts in order not to be thrown in all directions. There was never a dull moment, and one´s draw jopped again and again. I hereby declare the founding of the Icelandic division of the Kozhukhin Fan Club. […] "
Prokofiev: Piano Concerto No.5 / NDR Elbphilharmonie Orchester / cond. Mirga Grazinaite-Tyla
"[…] Denis Kozhukhin was an impressively accurate choice for this solo part. The pianistic challenges did not seem to concern the Russian in the least; he designed the harsh brilliance of the first movement with laconic precision, contrasting the quirky, angular Toccata movement with the unexpectedly dreamily beginning of the Larghetto. Kozhukhin played it all away with ease, with that pleasant, sleek, triumphant serenity that only sets in when you do not want to prove anything anymore. But he could also effortlessly increase pressure and operating temperature to storm into the final."

Bartók Piano Concerto No. 3 / Liverpool Philharmonic / Kahchun Won
"[…] Wong was joined by pianist Denis Kozhukhin for a spellbinding performance of Bartók's Piano Concerto no.3. The playing throughout was assured and effortless and the interpretation restrained but never dull. Both pianist and conductor treated the musical details with such utter respect, and executed them with such precision, one could not fail to be drawn into this thoroughly engaging performance. In all three movements Wong balanced the orchestra to sheer perfection, the soloist always to the fore and never overpowered. The first movement was impressive in its range of dynamics, creating light and shade. It was full of drama: conductor and pianist had the same vision, each episode had its own character – individual, vivid and enchanting. The second movement was atmospheric, moody, ethereal. In the chordal textures of the piano writing the balance between the hands was exquisite, the melody projecting with crystal-clear clarity. Kozhukhin was completely lost in the music, in the birdsong, in the reverie he'd created. There was gentle and effective use of Rubato, which added another dimension to this reading. Without a chance to breathe, they launched straight into a strongly rhythmic final movement. Full of bold colours, this astutely phrased finale was simply dazzling.
Grieg's "Spring" from Lyric Pieces, was given as encore. The phrasing was simple and delicate, and the judiciously balanced hands allowed the bell-like tone of the melody to carry with purity. […] "
Rachmaninov: Piano Concerto No. 3 / National Symphony Orchestra / cond. Carlos Miguel Prieto
"[…] The winner of the 2010 Queen Elisabeth Competition, Kozhukhin plays with all the authority one could want: There's a palpable firmness to the way he touches the notes. What he offers is a 21st-century take on Russian fireworks, dazzling and strong yet emphasizing musicality over circus tricks even in the astonishing cadenza — and all with an underlying sense of cleanness and precision: fireworks without any smoke to obscure the picture. […] "

Rachmaninov: Piano Concerto No.3 / Philharmonia Orchestra / cond. Paavo Järvi
[…] In performing Rachmaninov's Third Piano Concerto, it was the Russian Denis Kozhukhin who replaced Khatia Buniatishvili as soloist. Kozhukhin's reputation may not be as lofty as what some of the audience tonight might have desired, but this was a concern fated to be futile. At times sensitive, at times visceral, and at times both in an entirely convincing way, Kozhukhin's pianism demonstrated an immersive musical narrative, complemented with his impeccably crystal-clear technique. Although his audible murmuring was initially worrisome, these vocal intrusions were only proof of Kozhukhin's musical confidence, as he cadenced through the variegated moods and shapes of Rachmaninov's maze with natural fervour; musically, any indication of self-consciousness was largely kept at bay. Järvi's empathic accompaniment proved invaluable, as even the minutest of Kozhukhin's expressions were attended. Yet this is not to suggest the wanting of orchestral beef. In the soaring coda of the Finale, neither Kozhukhin nor the orchestra compromised any sort of their presence, as the work concluded triumphantly. […]

Brahms: Fantasies No. 1 in D minor
"You can't fault pianist Denis Kozhukhin of being one dimensional in regards to his choice of repertoire. After albums with music from the 18th century (Haydn Piano Sonatas), the 19th century (Tchaikovsky and Grieg Concertos, Brahms solo music), and the 20th century (Prokofiev's "War Sonatas" and Ravel and Gershwin Concertos), comes this release, which offers another, more intimate side to this musician."
"Kozhukhin's tone is magical, with each finger creating a different timbre. This is achieved by clever usage of the sustaining pedal, taking advantage of the piano's long sustain and overtones but more than anything – his sensitive ear to the possibilities of this music."
"One has to go back to famous accounts by Gilels and Andsnes to experience a performance of such dedication…If you care for each of these two composers, or have any preference for piano music for that matter, go and buy this album."

Reconstructionism is a stream of American Judaism that takes on the challenge of keeping Judaism relevant to our lives. Reconstructionist Judaism respects the richness of our traditions, but also recognizes that sometimes those traditions are no longer tenable or meaningful in our times. In those cases we reconstruct practices to fit our contemporary values and lifestyles.
Will I Be Comfortable in a Reconstructionist Synagogue?
Reconstructionism is a relatively small movement within Judaism, but a big tent. No matter your Jewish background or your connection to the Jewish people, you will recognize yourself in our community, and you'll get to be yourself in the company of some pretty great other people. Regardless of your gender, age, sexual preference, gender identity, race or ethnicity, or religion you are welcome to pray, study and celebrate with us. You'll find our approach to Judaism to be creative, egalitarian, and focused on building strong connections among us.
FAQs About Reconstructionist Judaism provides answers to questions such as "What are services like?" and "What do Reconstructionist Jews believe about God?" and much more.

European Commissioner Věra Jourová and Commissioner Haruhi Kumazawa welcomed today the adoption, by the European Commission and the Personal Information Protection Commission (PPC), of the decisions recognising each other's personal data protection system as equivalent.
These mutual adequacy findings create the world's largest area of safe data transfers. They build on the high degree of convergence between the two systems, which rest notably on an overarching privacy law, a core set of individual rights and enforcement by an independent data protection authority. As data privacy and security have become a central factor of consumer trust, it is this type of convergence, based on strong laws and robust enforcement, that can ensure the sustainability of our increasingly data driven-economy and facilitate commercial flows.
The citizens of the EU and Japan will now enjoy solid protections of their personal data when transferred, while all their companies will benefit from free data transfers to each other's economies. In this way, today's decisions complement and enhance the benefits of the Economic Partnership Agreement and contribute to the strategic partnership between the EU and Japan.
With this mutual adequacy arrangement, the EU and Japan reaffirm their commitment to shared values in the field of privacy, and to strengthen their cooperation in shaping global standards based on a high level of protection of personal data.
