Shortlisted for the Saltire Society Best Novel Award 2015
Longlisted for the Frank O'Connor International Short Story Award
Longlisted for the Edge Hill Short Story Prize 2016
Longlisted for Saboteur Awards Best Short Story Collection 2016
Sex and Love and Parenthood
In this sparkling and powerful new collection, Janice Galloway takes on David Lodge's assertion – 'Literature is mostly about having sex and not much about having children; life's the other way round' and scent-marks her multi-layered fiction with what she believes to be the greater truth. Razor sharp tales of two of the most powerful human experiences from one of our country's best loved and most acclaimed authors.
Praise for Jellyfish
'Exquisite similes (deflating balloons nose the ceiling "like fish kissing the surface of a tank, needing to feed") and witty metaphors (a couple having sex produces a "light sticking and unsticking sound, not unlike Sellotape but softer") rise up and sting the senses like the eponymous jellyfish. With this electrifying volume Galloway proves herself a truly powerful writer who deserves to be much better known.' Independent
'An exquisite short-story collection.' Guardian
'She offers vivid snatches of observed and imagined life. She makes pictures, sometimes beautiful, sometimes startling. She has a gift for the unforeseen and illuminating phrase. She crafts these pieces carefully.' Scotsman
'…thoughtful, accurate, sorrowful, dark, infinitely tender, angry, memorable.' Herald
'…the language and characters are crafted in a way that is perfectly poised, brutal and honest.' Bethany's Book Reviews
'…wonderfully kinetic use of imagery.' Shiny New Books
'Galloway strips away some of our comforting illusions, and confronts us with our weaknesses, our fears and our fallibility.' Skinny
'In the eponymous story from her most recent collection, Jellyfish, Janice Galloway shows her genius for the "ouch" principle: the wince-inducing collision of something exposed and over-sensitive with something brutal and sadistic.' Victoria Best, Numero Cinq Magazine
'This is a short story collection to savour, by one of the foremost Scottish writers of her generation.' Irish Times
'There are some utterly outstanding stories in this new collection from Janice Galloway… I felt I'd accompanied characters who were precious and vulnerable through watery emotional light and dark, and surfaced richer and stronger, supremely conscious of that balance between our strengths and our frailties as parents, and as individuals.' Northwords Now
'Jellyfish should be taken in by slow osmotic indulgence, and not guzzled in a glut of page-turning. Its stories may vary in content and tone, but the acute observation of mundane existences delivers powerful characters you want to grasp and lift out of the pages, slap across the face or embrace empathically. In what seem to be very ordinary lives on the pages of this collection, lie some extraordinary stories.' Dundee University Review of the Arts
'Each story, each sentence, is beautifully crafted by someone who cares enough to take such care. Often when something is so meticulously crafted the results can be admirable yet cold. However, these stories exude a raw emotion that is barely contained on the page. Love, anger, loss, desire – there are passions on show which are palpable, and which stir the senses like few writers can. If you read a better book than Jellyfish this year you are a very lucky person indeed.' Scots Whay Hae
'Incisive studies of human interaction in a wide variety of situations, sparely written, startlingly original and unexpected. Sentences start, go unexpectedly, sometimes (like human speech) don't finish. A challenging and very satisfying read.' Saltire Society
'I am reading very slowly so as to savour each brilliant word.' Sara Crowley, writer
'Galloway has hit a rich seam of imagination as she returns to the short story as a form. It's perfect for her style – wry, slightly off-kilter and always returning to the theme of parent and child, the kind of subject matter that offers Galloway the chance to delve once more into the murky depths of human relatinships.' Kaite Welsh, arts critic and writer
'It's the stories about mothers and children that really cut to the quick.' Zoe Strachan, novelist, choose Jellyfish as a favourite book of the year in the Sunday Herald
'Fascinating examinaions of love, sex and parenthood written in Galloway's inimitable style. Intriguingly-titled stories just waiting to be read.' Scots Magazine

An Athens man out on bail for an April 21 shooting incident was arrested Friday when found to be in violation of bail conditions, Athens-Clarke police said.

Antonio Ramon Bishop, 20, was one of two men arrested for firing several shots at a man as he stood outside his car at a North Avenue Hardee's restaurant on April 21, police said.
Upon his release from jail to await trial, one condition of his bail had been to remain inside his home between 7 p.m. and 8 a.m., according to police.
An officer spotted Bishop driving a car past his court-ordered curfew, police said, at which time he ran from the vehicle and after a chase was caught and arrested for obstruction of a law enforcement officer and contempt of court, police said.
Bishop has pleaded not guilty to four counts of aggravated assault and three counts of possession of a firearm during the commission of a crime. The charges stem from an incident in which Bishop and co-defendant Desmond Hill, 18, allegedly fired shots at 21-year-old Turmaine Reginald Goodman as he stood beside his car outside Hardee's.
A trial date has not been set for Bishop, and Hill is due to be arraigned tomorrow.
The alleged motivation for the drive-by shooting, according to police, was retribution for a March 30 incident in which Goodman allegedly fired shots at a car occupied by Bishop on Nowhere Road.
Charged by police with a single count of aggravated assault, a Clarke County Superior Court grand jury declined to indict Goodman on the charge in May.

text: A friend of mine has got a problem (Posted below) with which I have no idea how to help him. Any ideas? "just to remind you what happened, I connected the Leisure battery the wrong way round and blew the 30A fuse. The result being that I have lost the "Link" between the two batteries. e.g. when on mains I can only charge the leisure battery (not the engine battery)...... and when I run the engine I can only charge the engine battery (not the leisure battery) So both the Calira and Engine chargers are working, the only problem is I have lost the "Link". The problem being that if I stay for several days on a sites without 240V (e.g. at a show) the battery will run down, ok this is normal, but when I drive for a couple of hours up the road to another site the engine should charge the leisure battery but I now can't because I have lost or burnt out the "Link" "

Forecasting short-term electricity consumption using the adaptive grey-based approach—An Asian case
The overall electricity consumption, treated as a primary guideline for electricity system planning, is a major measurement to indicate the degree of a nation's development. The electricity consumption forecast is especially important with regard to policy making in developing countries (Asian countries in this work). However, since the economic growth rates in these countries are usually high and unstable, it is difficult to obtain accurate predictions using long-term data, and thus forecasting with limited (short-term) data is more effective and of considerable interest. Grey theory is one approach that can be used to construct a model with limited samples to provide better forecasting advantage for short-term problems. The forecasting performance of AGM(1,1), based on grey theory, has been confirmed using the Asia-Pacific economic cooperation energy database, and the results, compared with those obtained from back propagation neural networks (BPN) and support vector regression (SVR), show that the proposed approach can effectively deal with the problem of forecasting electricity consumption when the sample size is limited.

text: Hi, I was raised in Madison County Alabama, and after being away for nearly 30 years, I have the opportunity to return, and I'm taking that opportunity. I'm on schedule to be fully moved by the first week of January, 2009 of course. I have a resident NM CCW (not good in AL), and a non-resident Utah CCW, which is good in AL, at least while I'm a visitor. I plan to go get my CCW in AL. Anybody know about the Sheriff in Madison Co? Can the Police Chief of Madison issue a permit? Any advice on how my UT permit will be accepted after I switch my drivers' license from NM to AL? Anything I should know, but haven't thought to ask?

2014 has been major struggle for Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson
AKRON, Ohio — Imagine Gotham without Batman and Robin. The Beatles without McCartney and Lennon. Cookouts without hot dogs and hamburgers.
Impossible to comprehend?
Well, then, welcome to the 2014 PGA Tour season, the first since 1995 to be played without its dynamic duo in place, Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson.
Whoa? That can't be, can it? You're right, it's not. Of course, the yin and yang of the American golf scene have been present and accounted for this season — but only if you have arrived at the course early or looked well down the list of scores.
In some ways, Saturday's third round of the Bridgestone Invitational was a microcosm of their seasons, because the each found something to be positive about, even though they only shot 72 (Woods) and 69 (Mickelson).
"I actually smoked it coming home, which was nice," Woods said, when asked about what has become his nemesis, the driver.
"Today was a good round," Mickelson said.
No, they weren't being facetious. It's a testament to the lowly state of their games that they search for silver lining in a world of clouds, but Lefty, at least, showed he has great perspective. Though he labeled Saturday "a good round," he was quick to show how his standards may have been lowered a bit. "Good rounds (are) in the mid-60s and I'm barely getting it under par," he said.
How off-center have Woods and Mickelson been this year? Consider that Bernhard Langer in one PGA Tour tournament (Masters, T-8) has more top 10s than Woods and Mickelson combined. That's right, Woods and Mickelson are devoid of top 10s. We are fast approaching the one-year anniversary of the last PGA Tour top 10 for both men — Woods was T-2, Mickelson T-6 at The Barclays last August.
Oh, woe is them — and guess what? Neither one seems to be brimming with joy that the season's final major championship, the PGA, is on the doorstep. While Woods does offer that "I just need more reps . . . because I'm actually getting better the more rounds I'm playing," it sounded a bit hollow. Now 1 over, he left Firestone CC tied for 36th, but Woods clearly has struggled with his ball-striking this week. He hit just seven greens Saturday, has hit but 30 in 54 holes, and the driver looks like a foreign object in his hands. Woods hit 6 of 14 fairways in Round 3 and has hit just 18 of 42 for three days.
Mickelson, who improved to 3-over 213 and left Firestone in a share of 44th, presented a blunt assessment of his game. Bottom line, if he thought he had made progress at he Scottish Open and Open Championship, the lefthander said he is mistaken.
"I'm not as close as I thought I was," he said. "I'm definitely identifying a lot of weaknesses. I've got a lot of work to do to feel better."
How scratchy are things right now? Mickelson shrugged and offered what has to be his lowest level of expectations entering a major championship since he arrived on the scene in 1992. Next week's PGA at Valhalla? "I'm not sure," Mickelson said. "It would be out of nowhere for me to play well."
Not exactly the power of positive thinking there, is it?
But the truth is, these are not the best of times for the best of their time, Woods and Mickelson being an impressive 1-2 punch since 1996, the season when their professional rivalry took hold. Since that summer, Woods and Mickelson have combined for 112 wins (79 for Woods, 33 for Mickelson) and 19 major championships. This is 17th season that they have shared the PGA Tour stage and it is likely to be the first one that did not feature a victory by either player. If you think that this 1-2 thing is a media creation, think again; in the Official World Golf Rankings, they have ranked 1-2 for a total of 271 weeks.
Just not now. Not by a long shot. In fact, they are lagging well off the pace by many measures. They have fallen to 10 (Woods) and 13 (Mickelson) in the world order and their FedEx Cup standings is unfathomable (Mickelson 89th, Woods 215th). Ryder Cup points? Mickelson is 11th, two outside the automatic cutoff, but Woods is 70th.
True, much of Woods' picture is framed by the layoff after his March 31 microdiscectomy, and loyalists might point out that Mickelson was second in Abu Dhabi earlier this year. The truth is, however, this Dynamic Duo have experienced setbacks here and there, but never have they appeared to struggle for so long and so simultaneously as they have in 2014.
What is more confounding about Woods' plight is the way he has described his recovery period. At the Open Championship just a few weeks ago Woods gushed about how he hit the ball in Round 1, saying, "I was able to recover every day and the fact that I was stronger, more explosive, the more days I played."
He faded at the Open, of course, and had his worst 72-hole finish in a major (69th). Then after stumbling through 54 holes here, Woods blamed his inability to play golf and lift weights to get stronger to regain his "explosiveness."
"Right now, you don't want to do two things at once," Woods said. "I'm hitting the golf ball (but) still want to burn the candle at both ends by doing fast twitch, explosive lifting. Can't burn the candle at both ends right now."
Hard to translate that, but there's no such mystery to what Mickelson thinks about his situation.
"I've got a little work to do on my game," he said. "It's been a long time since I've played well and it's been more of a struggle than I thought it would be."
Barring something dramatic at the PGA, Mickelson is unlikely to earn an automatic spot on the upcoming Ryder Cup team. Woods, of course, is miles out of the picture. The last time there was an American Ryder Cup team without either Mickelson or Woods was 1993 at The Belfry.
The captain of that team was Tom Watson. The fact that it very much could be in Watson's control to captain the Americans without either Mickelson or Woods at Gleneagles adds great intrigue to the current picture.
Just don't bet on it happening. Dynamic they may not be, but they're a duo worth the investment.

Problem in clearing generated mesh
1 Attachment(s)
I imported the geometry with mesh from ICEM to STAR CCM. The problem is that, it is not possible to clear the previous mesh. I tried to change the reference value of the mesh to increase the quality of existing mesh but I could not.
Could you please help me to increase the quality of existing mesh or clear it completely.
The picture is attached.
Thanks in advance :)
The mesh problem
As it is seen at the picture, the mesh size is not uniformly changed. I would like to remove all the cell set and create a new one. But I do not know how. :(
Is it a volumetric mesh?
You can extract the boundary surface and make a remesh on it.
Hi again
Thanks for your help, yes you were right. I did it and it worked. Now the quality of surface mesh is fine. but the cell quality of volume mesh( I use Threshold) is not high, i.e. less that 0.1.
Thanks in advance :)

I walked into our local Target the other day…and what did I see? BIKINIS, Already,
In the cold of winter is this really what I want to see? NO… It's so cold right now, and I'm so PALE. I can't even begin to imagine putting this body into one of those things… eeeeekkkkk…
Then when I go beyond the cold and pale issue, I realize I could be in better shape, and could stand to lose a few pounds… We all know it's not just about losing weight, but it's mainly about getting our bodies healthier from the inside out, and moving. We all need exercise! I have all that I need at my fingertips, now to just start using it on a daily basis…. My treadmill sits silently in my mini office as a storage area for various clothing items that I have no clue where to put. It haunts me, the image of a thinner, stronger me. It taunts me, teasing me relentlessly. It's time my procrastination comes to an end!!!
Join me in The Slim & Sassy program and lets all be a little healthier and thinner by the time spring rolls around…my supplies are here, treadmill cleaned off…LET US BEGIN

Curriculum Development Workshops
Environmental Dashboard (ED) technology is being installed in school districts in Ohio and nationally. ED is designed to make flows of water and energy through buildings and whole communities and environmental conditions visible, engaging and teachable while also linking these to smart environmental decision-making. A grant from the Ohio Environmental Education Fund (Ohio EPA) is supporting a series of workshops designed to better integrate this technology into the K-12 curriculum. Workshop goals are to enhance teaching of content associated with the core curriculum and state standards, and to develop students' "systems thinking" skills within the context of existing lessons.
These workshops are a collaboration between four participating school districts and Oberlin College with support from from the Ohio Environmental Education Fund (Ohio EPA). Questions answered at email@example.com.
The model for these workshops assumes that teachers and curricular managers in each district are in the best position to determine precisely how ED can best be integrated into existing curricula and to develop and help assess these exercises in the context of their own districts, schools and classrooms. This "train the trainer" model is intended to develop a cadre of experienced and enthusiastic teachers with in-depth training in the use of ED. These workshops includes teachers from Oberlin who already have experience developing and using ED curricular materials who can serve as mentors and experts.
Curricular Development Workshops
Teachers who complete workshop #1 are eligible to apply to participate in curriculum development. Accepted applicants will participate in a sequence of four workshops and will develop, teach and assess at least one teaching unit that uses Environmental Dashboard (ED).
The overall goals for participants are to:
- Actively participate and support the learning community of participants from the four districts and Oberlin College
- Propose and develop an ED related lesson and an assessment plan that aligns with existing curricula and learning goals in the districts and in Ohio
- Develop additional knowledge and expertise related to areas of environment, decision-making and ED most relevant to the lesson proposed
- Teach lesson(s) developed, assess learning
- Present and receive feedback on lessons, revise accordingly
- Work with curricular specialists to modify for posting in on-line ED-related lesson repository
The professional development sequence:
- Summer 2017: Workshops

Weve all seen or heard of ERP projects that were not delivered on schedule or budget, so its obvious these types of projects are not easy to deliver. Curiosity eventually got the best of me, and I set out to find the answers as to why ERP implementations have so many trials and tribulations.
To prepare for this article, I posted two questions on LinkedIn asking members to give their opinions regarding why they believe most ERP implementations fail. Responses were received from around the world, and the information was extremely informative. To my astonishment, half of the responses were from business people, and the rest were from IT folks. Several of those that responded mentioned that when budget write-offs occurred they were typically in the tens of millions of dollars and that the overage was related to the loss of their job.
As the data came in and the research unfolded, it was amazing to see that all of the respondents indicated that the No.1 reason for not delivering ERP applications had to do with missed business expectations. A close runner up was missing key individuals in the group of stakeholders. Participants went on to say that someone needed to be accountable for each application that would be involved in the integration effort and that misstepping in this area equated to not having a total commitment for the initiative.
Another theme was the impact of organizational change; specifically underestimating the effort it takes to redefine business processes and the programming time it took to develop these new processes into an ERP framework. The business folks indicated the level of involvement needed from them came as a total surprise.
Yet, another overlooked theme was the business and IT stakeholders needed to understand that they had to be present at steering and governance meetings and that their presence showed solidarity to the effort. Ongoing steering committees help to communicate the projects highs and lows, as well as having the stakeholders present to help make critical decisions.
And last, but not at all least, project management of the effort cannot be taken lightly. During the research, I had the pleasure of speaking with a company that spent 1.5 years on user requirements, business process redefinition and data gathering. The end result was that the ERP effort had actually gone reasonable wella little delayed, but overall, the business was happy with the final delivery of the application and efforts by the entire team. Ive always been a firm believer that if an effort is planned correctly, the end result is usually attainable.
In performing this research, the lessons that Ive learned are that when starting a large initiative such as an ERP implementation, it is best to spend ample time on the beginning stages of the projects lifecycle, ensuring that the business is entrenched in the requirements gathering and in setting expectations across the organization. These expectations include the involvement of all project participants and the need to have key stakeholders as active members of the group.
No matter if you are in the throes of an ERP implementation or if youre considering taking on the task, the above information is a small portion of the work effort needed and will hopefully arm you with the details to minimize the potential of having you become another casualty of an ERP implementation.

Modi has polarised BJP, says Kulkarni
"A socially polarising leader has polarised his own party. Can he run a smooth, stable and effective government at the centre? Think seriously," Kulkarni said in a tweet.
Kulkarni also told TimesNow news channel that L.K. Advani, who he said was the "tallest leader" in the party after Vajpayee, was not in favour of declaring Modi the BJP's prime ministerial candidate.
Kulkarni was part of the BJP's strategy team in the 2009 Lok Sabha polls and worked closely with Advani.
He also served as Vajpayee's speech writer and media adviser.
Moves are afoot in the BJP to appoint Modi as the party's prime ministerial candidate for the 2014 general election.

Hey guys. Greetings from New Zealand. Thought I may as well do my intro and project in the same thread.
Pleasantly stumbled across this forum whilst looking for methods to produce metal powders. I've been dabbling with notion of a SLS 3D printer for the last few months and have made some progress. My current intent is to develop a test rig which will enable me to learn more about the process involved with SLS printing, starting with plastics and migrating to metals. I've been reading research papers where I can but theory can only take you so far. Eventually, I'll design a production quality rig but for now I'd like to gain a holistic understanding of what's involved.
My test rig is based upon 'Pwdr 0.1', using a revised powder spreader and some subtle modifications to the build chamber itself. Initially this will be run in an open environment without temperature or humidity stabilization. I'll look to refine this in due course.
Most of my spare time over the last few months has been spent writing software for the sake of the controller. I'm in the process of designing my own and have started over a couple times now mainly due to hardware constraints (too slower clock for Gcode processing / touch screen interface / RAM interface / use of RTOS etc etc). I'm currently using a STM32F429 discovery board as this incorporates both ram and a touch screen which is handy, and is capable of 180MHz. I've coupled it with a 24 bit DAC and a SD Card interface. So far so good. I'll get around to developing a PCB for it at some point. I'm using standalone A4988 stepper drivers.
The laser + optic system I'm using utilizes a 40 watt CO2 laser, a beam expander setup in reverse (drops the beam width from 10mm down to 2mm), and a set of cheap chinese galvos retrofitted with 10mm Molybdenum CO2 grade mirrors. I'm currently in the process of setting up the optics so everything is balanced and ready to go once I acquire some powder. I've been on the hunt for some Nylon powder for a reasonable price but alibaba seems to be the only option; you either buy a small quantity for an exorbitant price (30 USD a kilo + 13 USD per kilo for shipping, MOQ 25 kilos) or a excessively large quantity for a reasonable price (1 metric ton at $3 USD per kilo). Can anyone suggest to me where I can buy some without the constraints?
Anyway, that's briefly where I'm at. I'm waiting on a focal lens to arrive at the moment. Once that has arrived I will be able to perform some testing. Following that, the plan is to build a chamber to house everything for the sake of temperature control and an inert environment. Have some work to do before I get there though. Thanks for reading.

Back in 2007 Richard and Nikki Cooper quit the music industry and London and decided to move their life and children to deepest, darkest Dorset. They bought a dilapidated hotel in the centre of Bridport. After a lot of hard graft the Coopers brought the hotel back to life and in 2009 they were able to focus on the beautiful outbuilding and former stable at the back. They had a vision of creating a unique environment to enjoy the finest local produce at decent prices.
Naturally, being in Dorset meant Real Cider from small scale producers was available in abundance. Obtaining fine produce in this part of the world was no issue, what with local growers and suppliers popping up all the time, and fresh meat and fish all within a 10 mile radius (Hugh set up River Cottage nearby). Richard's brother Andy, who also happened to be a chef, had just returned from Australia and the trio began experimenting with creating some extraordinary pizza, throwing out the Italian preconceptions and creating real British pizza made with their own sourdough base and, what some might call, controversial toppings.
The concept was born; fine food and crafted cider set within an alluring atmosphere. The only challenge left was building this beauty. The old stable was a wreck and appeared to house so much junk that it was near impossible to get through the door and take a look inside. Richard, not one to get his hands too dirty, put in a call to an old school friend, Martin, and the team began to piece the old stable back together.
That was it, The Stable came to fruition and went down a storm with townspeople and critics alike. It took a few years of fine tuning until the expansion started and now The Stable is growing across the South with the same approach to each building (still built by Martin – and Stan, another old school friend of Richard's, has joined in!). Despite the growth, ingredients are still sourced locally to each venue. The ingredients on your Bridport Blaster will be entirely different from the ingredients on your Bristol Blaster and it's this local approach that keeps The Stable grounded with its local community and continues to win the hearts of its customers.
Instead of reeling out some corporate nonsense about what makes us us, we thought it would be better to show you who makes The Stable! Meet the people…
Richard is a constant force of energy who pushes The Stable to be the best it can be. Delivering perfection every time is his goal. He's very much a people person and has a huge amount of respect for craftspeople and the local economy. We think The Stable is somewhat a reflection of Richard: warm, welcoming, rough around the edges and built to age well.
Kyle originally worked for Rich and Nikki at The Bull Hotel in Bridport before meeting Sid and starting their creative studio. Now based just around the corner from The Stable Bristol, they design everything from adverts to tees, our website to our wall art. From the signs you see, to the boards you eat from, they're constantly creating fresh ideas to make your Stable experience that little bit more special.

Live From Iceland, or Possibly Greenland, It's the DipNote Tweet Show!
There's only six weeks left in the Bush administration, but Loop Fans know that political appointees are not about to collect their paychecks and just kick back in local bars. Au contraire! They're going hyperspeed to fulfill their duties before the inauguration.
Take Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for Public Diplomacy Colleen Graffy, formerly the academic director and associate professor at the London Law Program for Pepperdine University School of Law. She received international fame of a sort in 2006 when she was quoted saying that the suicides of three Guantanamo Bay detainees were a "good PR move."
Graffy is overseas as we speak, working to spread the word of America's fine foreign policy. And the State Department, aware of your short attention span, has a simple way to make sure you know how she's earning her keep. Here's the note on the official blog, DipNote.
"Do you twitter? You can follow a diplomat in real-time and learn more about America's public diplomacy by catching the 'tweets' of Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for Public Diplomacy Colleen Graffy." Tweets are very brief messages, 140 characters max, letting people know what you're doing.
"She is tweeting now," the Friday night DipNote said, "as she prepares this weekend to depart for Iceland, Croatia and Armenia. She will chat with bloggers, meet with the spokesperson at the Ministry for Foreign Affairs, compare notes with journalists, talk with university students, hear about the Fulbright program, have pizza with representatives of the youth wings of political parties and more."
Her first tweets:
· "it's official -- Dipnote announces I'm twittering my trip to Iceland, Croatia and Armenia. Now to pack! http:/
· "Dashing in to State Dept to pick up tickets, briefing books -- white knuckle time -- gotta catch that flight!"
· "in Boston now boarding flight to Iceland! forgot gym clothes, forgot bathing suit (possible Blue Lagoon visit). advice: don't pack in 30 min"

New Delhi (PTI): Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal today claimed the CBI has raided his office in central Delhi and launched a no holds barred attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi, saying he was resorting to "cowardice".
The Chief Minister, who is involved in a prolonged tussle with the Centre, accused the Modi government of resorting to vendetta politics and came down heavily on the agency for the raids at Players Building.
"CBI raids my office," Kejriwal tweeted.
CBI raids my office
— Arvind Kejriwal (@ArvindKejriwal) December 15, 2015
"When Modi cudn't handle me politically, he resorts to this cowardice. Modi is a coward and psychopath," he said in another tweet expressing his anguish over the raids.
When Modi cudn't handle me politically, he resorts to this cowardice
— Arvind Kejriwal (@ArvindKejriwal) December 15, 2015
CBI Spokesperson said the searches were being conducted at the office of the Principal Secretary Rajendra Kumar and that details would be shared later.
Sources said that a team of CBI officials went to the Delhi Secretariat, which houses office of Kejriwal and other ministers in the morning and conducted the search in the third floor of the building.
They said the search may be in connection with the multi-crore CNG fitness scam.
Sources said that there were allegations that Kejriwal's Principal Secretary was linked to the scam but the senior IAS officer as well as AAP government have been rejecting the charges.
The third floor of the secretariat also houses Kejriwal's offce.
The AAP government has been locked in a running feud with the Centre over the control of important functions like law and order, police and land.
Meanwhile, the CBI said it has registered a case against Secretary to the Chief Minister, Rajendra Kumar on allegations of abusing his official position by "favouring a particular firm in the last few years in getting tenders from Delhi government departments."
"After taking warrants, searches are being conducted in the office and residence of Rajendra Kumar. The allegations against Rajendra Kumar were raised by Ashish Joshi, former Member Secretary, Delhi Dialogue Commission," the agency said.

wow... finally.. the ssen unnie Chaerin has arrived! I've been waiting for so long!
just from the jacket alone, you can feel her force like PAK PAK!
from her makeup to her hair, she's so my style~ so pretty CL-ah!
oh my... look at her aura... is she from the amazons?
this time, looks like she will have the ssen unnie+bad girl concept
even in her daily life, she still doesn't look average.. her force...
her style is always so distinct, she's so cool... she makes Sandara unnie looks even younger
such a turn around effect!ㅋㅋ
she doesn't even loose next to an american model
she was preparing for her american advancement all this time
now her song and her pictures are out so it's the start!
I hope that she blows up in her national and american promotions!

- frankly speaking, whether it's CL or Bigbang, they are just not at the same level as the other idols in our country anymore.. they are also so famous overseas and they do lots of collaborations with foreign musicians. This time, the dancers in her music video are the same that danced for Justing Bieber's video. Seriously, you really can't bash their fame and talent.

- even though she did the ssen unnie image again, there are no one who can match up to her. I really looked forward for this~ she's finally making her debut in the US!! she even got prettier~ㅋㅋ

- CL is just plain ugly. She looks like this because of her makeup. Kids with monolids like Kim Goeun or Park Sodam are the pretty and charming ones. CL is ugly. her though concept is terrifying.

Having trouble with Believing in yourself? Would you like to be more confident to pursue your dreams? Read this post to start believing in yourself.
Many people in this world are not confident, they don't believe in themselves and more than often this prevents them living a happy life. Today I want to share some thoughts about this topic with you.
We as humans learn by what we see, hear and experience. Unfortunately or fortunately we learn things about people and the world when we are very small. We learn all the things when we don't know anything about the world. It means that we learn how to react to some specific situations from people that are the closest to using. Usually, it's our parents, brothers, sisters and everyone else who was around us when we were babies. This is a good thing for a person who was born in the happy and wealthy family, but for most of the people, their families are the exact opposite of happiness and wealth.
I agree that some of the personality comes with our DNA, but it always can be easily covered by the things we learn while we are growing. I want you to think about your childhood, what kind of people were around you. Do you see any connection between people you know and your own personality? No? Then ask your husband or wife and they will tell you the truth. It's difficult to notice things about ourselves, I didn't realize that I act and say things like my mother who is honestly a complainer. Even when my wife for years was telling be about it, instead of listening I was getting upset and telling her that it's not true.
You need to find what kind of personality connection you have with people who were a role model for you in your childhood. Without it, you won't be able to change your beliefs fast. If you can't see a connection maybe you can use some professionals to help you with it. Believe me, it's not a shame and it's not embarrassing to go to a psychologist or a psychiatrist.
This is the most difficult part, especially if you didn't believe in yourself for more than 5 years. Don't worry, almost all of adult people who have a problem with self-believing are suffering from this for more than 5 years.
Here is a small exercise to get you out of the "I suck!" state of mind.
I don't know how old you are but I am sure you had many different experiences in your life. Now, I want you to think about things you accomplished. Before you say "I didn't accomplish anything" I just want to say that it can be anything! Even the very small thing that everybody can do.
Here are some questions to help you out:
1. Have you ever had a boyfriend/girlfriend?
2. Have you ever lived by yourself?
3. Have you ever made a meal for yourself?
4. Have you ever got a score higher than F in the school?
5. Do you have wife/husband, kids?
6. Do you have a driving licence or any kind of licence?
7. Do you know how to use a computer or open an email?
8. Do you know how to read?
I can bet million dollars that you can answer "YES" to at least 1 of these questions. If you disagree then how are you able to read this post?
I just want you to see that there are things that you've accomplished. Maybe it wasn't easy, maybe you failed many times but you did it. Many people stop believing in themselves because of some small failures. Because there was anyone to tell them "It's OK! Try again". Once you get caught in limited beliefs cage it's hard to get out and suddenly you start to think that you are not able to do anything. Your lack of confidence comes from the lack of experience. When you are about to do something new, you are not sure if you can do it. Who does? Everybody have some kind of small or bigger doubts, the question is if you will allow your doubts to stop you from at least trying doing something new?
As you can see by the questions about, those are small achievements but you don't learn them in the next 5 minutes after you are born. You learn those things little by little and even you fail the desire of accomplishing the task push you to try again.
I want you to realize that you've done amazing things in your past, you just forgot about them. I want you to tell yourself every morning "I can do it and there is anybody or any situation that can stop me!".
This is not for everybody, but when your desire to become more confident is much bigger than your fears I recommend you to practice this strategy. A simple "Fake it till you make it". When you practice believing in yourself and when on purpose you push yourself into uncomfortable or new situations, at some point you will become confident of your actions and yourself. As I said, it's not for everybody, but this drastic strategy works.
I believe in you because you are here. You are reading this post on purpose and I know that there are great things waiting for you. If you weren't a fighter you would not waste your time to read this post. I admire fighters. I admire people who are willing to change their lives and those who are willing to help others. Sometimes life is not easy and it can dig a hole just in front of you, but that's because you don't give up and because you can see a brighter future you will succeed. So I believe in you and I admire ever small failure and every small victory of yours.

West Maui Loop
West Maui Mountian Loop is one of the most exceptional road rides in the world. This loop is approximately 62 miles of epic scenic road riding adventure. You will be taken through the quaint towns of Maalaea, Olowalu, Lahaina, Napili and Honokawai. This loop features high speed cruising, steep punchy climbs, fast descents, narrow roads and endless Pacific ocean views. It takes about three to five hours to complete depending on where you start.
Rent one our exceptional road bikes to make this loop comfortable and enjoyable. Give us a call today!
We suggest starting your ride from the transition free open to public parking lot just before the Ma'alaea Harbor on the corner of Highway 30 and Highway 310. Most riders will ride to Lahaiana from the start and begin making there way around.
- Parking: Free parking in the parking lot on the corner of N. Kihei Rd and Honoapiilani Hwy. This is a safe parking lot although we always recommend storing all valuables out of site.
- Recommendations: We recommend bringing spare air, tubes, extra hydration and snacks.
- Restroom: The best place to stop for restroom is before your ride at the Shell gas station at Ma'alaea Harbor, Lahaiana and in Wailuku. Keep in mind once you are on the furthest West Maui side area there are limited facilities.
- Rain Gear: It is a good idea to bring a rain jacket in case of very often unexpected north shore weather.
- Phones: Do not plan on much reception out on the west Maui's between Lahaina and Wailuku.
- Cautions: Please be careful riding as drivers whip around the switch back roads. Stay wide or hug the cliff side whichever way you are riding!

While reading this, I was reminded of a Truman Capote essay that I had read before called, quite simply, "Brooklyn." Like Woolf, Capote conducts a thorough observance of the streets of Brooklyn and the small things that make city life on this street and in this city what it is. I don't know if Woolf had any influence on Capote or if both writers simply shared the desire to put into the writing the mish- mash of people and things that they experienced everyday, but many of their descriptions are similar in how they examine the city they live in. In particular, both writers write prolifically on the general appearances, sounds, and smells of their neighborhoods. Woolf and Capote also masterly resist getting overly sentimental about their cities while maintaining a certain admiration for those with whom they share these busy streets. Woolf describes her fellow "haunters" as "men and women, who, for all their poverty and shabbiness, wear a certain look of unreality, an air of triumph." Like Woolf, Capote also appreciates the "shabby" but undeniable pride of his fellow Brooklynites, describing his aging neighbor with ironic awe as she stands "shrouded in a sleazy kimono , her sunset colored hair falling Viking-fashion" (Capote 19). Both Woolf and Capote create reverent tributes to their respective cities without shielding the reader from reality but, rather, embracing the tattered people and things that populate them.
Like Woolf, Capote uses his essay to freeze a moment in a city before it changes. Both authors write about city life in an honest way, depicting for the reader the regularity of beauty if one takes a moment to notice it, especially in the people who bustle by you.

In our previous video we saw that by the end of the season, there is no difference in the number of heat units and temperature as seen by a conventional versus a no-till soil. In fact any differences in cumulative heat units between the two systems disappears by the first week of July. In this video, SDSU's Anthony Bly explains how that happens by examining the side-by-side temperature comparisons between a no-till, and conventional till system near Vermillion, South Dakota. In the latter part of the season (after July 1), we also see that in no-till soils maximum temperatures are consistently cooler and minimum temperatures are consistently warmer than conventional till soils. The NRCS's Eric Barsness discusses this and tells us why it's a good thing.
Soil Health = Record Yields?
It's been said that what comes easy doesn't last, and what lasts doesn't come easy. This adage is especially true when it comes to change.
Any change worth making isn't going to be done overnight and it isn't going to be realized without difficulty. One Iowa farm is showing the Midwest though that, when it comes to transitioning to soil health practices, the change doesn't always have to be as difficult as we've been led to believe.
"I always heard at least five years yield drag on no-till," Says Kevin Prevo, one of three primary operators of the Prevo family farm located on the outskirts of Bloomfield, Iowa. "But we never saw that. We actually had our best ever average yields in 2014, until we topped it in 2016 for both corn and soybeans."
These results (and their timeframe) certainly run counter to what most of us hear about incorporating soil health practices. We get it. Stop turning over your land, drastically reduce input costs and watch your operation blossom in a short amount of time? Twenty years ago (and to many, still today!) this would have been unheard of! The Prevo family farm is one example of how this seemingly tall tale can be more down to earth than we expected.
This is not to say that the Prevos didn't have their fair share of growing pains. The transition has required a drastic change, first in mindset, then in practice, and the implementation of a year-round management-intensive system. However, for those hesitant to transition to regenerative farming because of the dreaded five-year drag, the Prevos are proving that that notion isn't a universal truth.
Of course, as we've continually discussed, it's not an individual practice that accomplishes what the Prevos have done, but the adoption of a systems approach. Dr. Randy Anderson of the ARS discusses the idea of systems synergy where we stack practices on top of one another (e.g., no-till, on top of, say, diverse rotations on top of, say, cover crops). The result is that the benefit of the whole is far more than the sum of the individual benefits. Kevin Prevo highlights their transition to no-till above, but their success would not have been possible without the incorporation of cover crops. NRCS soil scientist Jason Steele knows this first-hand.
"It's important to build up that soil biology with cover crops," Jason says. "Organic matter will increase in the poorer soils first, providing immediate improvements in infiltration rates and water holding capacity."
If one simply transitioned from till to no-till and left it at that, these benefits would not have been realized (and the increase in yield would certainly be a pipe dream).
When it comes to soil health in the future, the "five-year drag" may become a belief of the past. With the stacking of practices like diverse rotations, cover crops and no-till, as well as clarity on how to go about the transition most effectively, you tap into system synergy. The result: profitable farming and healthy soils can be realized quicker and more fully than previously thought.
As far as things go for the Prevos, the horizon is only getting brighter. The family farm is on their third straight year of record soybean yields with corn yields not lagging much further behind.
"We beat our corn yield average record this year by 20 bushels per acre over our 2014 highs," says Kevin Prevo. "And we did it on traditionally poorer producing soils."
Turn your "weakest link" (i.e. your poorest, most degraded soils) into a strength, increase infiltration rates, and increase yields. Throw on top of this terms like "environmentally friendly" and "sustainable" and you have a recipe for current and future success. Land that is primed to feed your family for generations to come. These are a handful of the reasons why soil health is the farming of the future.
Still, the idea of a change in practices looms large. We don't dismiss this reality. This is where ancient wisdom still has a part to play in helping us move forward.

The Economic Effects of Biodiversity
Extinction is a perfectly normal part of nature. Scientists of all backgrounds, belief systems and areas of study can agree on this. What is often overlooked, however, is the potential cost of extinction – whether within a single ecosystem or multiple.
Still, no one plays a larger role when it comes to the loss or gain of a species within an environment than farmers. According to the USDA Census of Agriculture, as of 2012, a little over 40% of the United States was made up by farmland. This means that farming is power and farmers play a massive role in deciding what species thrive and what species don't. So why should farmers choose the former? Well, a recent study from just one state over shows that in promoting the livelihood of multiple species, farmers can actually see an economic return.
Saving the environment while earning money? Sounds like a late-night infomercial. Nevertheless, it is backed by a unique research project published this year in Science Advances, and it offers one of the most convincing arguments yet for biodiversity.
The first thing to note when it comes to diversity (which is a principle that also happens to be one of the four principles of soil health), is that its effects go well beyond simply what we put in the ground.
"Biodiversity evokes exotic birds, tropical forests, the beauty of nature," says the research project's co-author and Texas Tech professor Natasja van Gestel.
Understanding that biodiversity benefits and works along with nature is the very foundation of regenerative farming. As alluded to above, however, the principles of regenerative farming can also be profitable farming… though it typically isn't seen this way.
"Money isn't usually what comes to mind," Professor Natasja van Gestel continues. "But biodiversity has monetary value, and in this study, we figured out how much value for one critical ecosystem service: carbon storage."
While science has an understanding of the value of photosynthesis (use of the sun's energy by plants to convert carbon dioxide to carbohydrates for energy and growth) it's rare that scientists explicitly relate photosynthesis to economic value. This research project, however, has managed to assign a dollar value on species diversity through monitoring its effects on carbon storage.
The first question that needed to be asked, therefore, was "does biodiversity even influence carbon storage?" The short answer they found: YES!
The scientists involved in the research, brought together by The National Socio-Environmental Synthesis Center (SESYNC), used a pair of long-term studies based just next door in the Minnesota grasslands. To find their answer, they first had to identify how much more carbon is present per added species. Their findings were fairly straight-forward: For every new plant species added, carbon storage increased. Further, the increase of carbon storage through plant diversity is most realized on land that is the least diverse (which, unfortunately, is mostly traditional farmlands).
This brings us back to a common theme we've discussed. Whether it's in considering the change to no-till, adding in cover crops, or an all out shift towards regenerative farming as a whole, these decisions aren't made lightly. Nevertheless, this study and many others like it are proving that it's these very soils, the ones unaccustomed to such practices, that benefit most from these changes!
To put it in numbers, the increase from five to six species within a plot yielded 10 times more carbon than the increase from 15 to 16 species. In various observed plots of around 2.4 acres, increasing from one to two plant species over a period of 50 years would yield an additional 20,500 lbs of carbon per acre (with probable savings of over $335 per acre). Author Glenys Young in her own article on phys.org regarding species diversity shows this on a larger scale:
"Cost savings could hypothetically be significant. For example, adding just one species to the 12.3 million hectares of cultivated lands restored by grasslands by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Conservation Reserve Program could save more than $700 million. The biggest cost savings come from restoring the most degraded, species-poor lands."
In short, the four principles of soil health are beginning to be quantified in terms of economic value. The increase in at least one of them (diversity) also leads to an increase in diversity of all forms of life. We surely live in an exciting time for agriculture!
"This is one of the first studies to estimate the economic value of biodiversity," states Brad Cardinale, who spearheaded this study by bringing economists and ecologists on board. "It provides what is almost certainly an underestimate of value, but I still expect the study to become a classic as others repeat and improve these estimates for other ecosystems."
Seeing this study as an "underestimate of value" seems like over-selling. However, Cardinale can feel confident in such statements as these because the reality is that biodiversity carries a multitude of benefits well beyond carbon storage. The point? This study is just the tip of the iceberg. Efficient, low-input, sustainable farming will soon be an option for farmers around the world, even those who farm atypical crops and in extreme conditions.
The future is bright,

Residue Recap
In this video, we recap the last 11 videos on our Merit or Myth Series that deal with residue and tillage. We sum up the information provided by our farmers and researchers, from West River to East River of South Dakota. As we consider the statement: "Farming without tillage and with surface residue is not only possible, it works!" we have to ask "Merit or Myth?". It's up to the viewer to decide.
Spiral of Soil Regeneration – Part 3 (Dr. Randy Anderson)
This is the third part of a three part series in Dr. Anderson's 10-minute talk on his spiral of regeneration.
Dr. Randy Anderson, Research Agronomist with the USDA-ARS in Brookings, SD, shares with us his spiral of soil regeneration. The concept of the spiral had its genesis in Dr. Anderson's work in no-till where he observed a number of interactive biological effects at work. In this third video, Dr. Anderson provides a real-life example of two winter wheat scenarios based on tillage and crop rotation. It's often that the farmer's eye test is all that needs to be done to see where the advantage is, no degree in agronomy required! We hope this and the next two videos in the series give you a much better grasp of what happens when you begin to disturb your soils less!
The Potential in Community Farming, Paddock Grazing, and MORE!
Picture this: A proactive community of open-minded producers joining forces for the greater good. With all of them together, they work to increase yields and soil health, and gain a better understanding of their livelihoods.
If such a community existed, would you be interested? It may seem "pie in the sky", but one state down, that's exactly what's going on.
For the last several years, an 8-member group of Nebraskan producers has gathered in the pursuit of shared knowledge. In that time, the positive effects of the union have been undeniable. Nobody knows this better than group member and Palmyra, Nebraska native Mike McDonald.
"One person in the group raised 6,000 bushels of cereal rye," said McDonald. "Together, we cleaned it and, in a cost-efficient manner, were able to increase the drilling rates."
As McDonald can attest, this is just the tip of the iceberg. What separates this group from your average producer get together is that they don't stop at surface-level issues. Just like the roots of their crops, they always dig just a little deeper. One of the more popular topics of discussion? Cover crops. More specifically, livestock and how it relates to the practice.
It's pretty obvious that high intensity paddock grazing can be a bit labor intensive, so to include such a practice in one's operation, you'd have to thoroughly believe in its efficacy. Mike McDonald and members of his group have seen enough of the benefits of the practice to incorporate it despite the concerns. In fact, McDonald believes in it so thoroughly that he loaned 40 head of livestock from a fellow group member for a 20-acre site.
So what were these benefits?
According to McDonald and his group: increased soil fungi and other microbes (these are the "good guy" microbes that Dr. Elaine Inhgam talks about), decreased herbicide usage, and increased overall pool of organic nutrients (yes, nutrient pools can be organic as well as inorganic). Or look at it this way: increased efficiency and effectiveness leads to increased sustainability.
Of course, paddock grazing isn't the only value-added practice that the 8-member group has tested and employed. McDonald also has up to 41 bee hives on his property that are responsible for increased production. After their discussions and research, the group also endorses cutting out virtually all fertilizer and herbicides as well as focusing on income diversity. Of course, with knowledge comes responsibility and the group acknowledges that. To incorporate livestock into an operation, one must be aware of cover crop maturity dates prior to planting, and proper grazing windows, but the results speak for themselves.
The idea of community learning shouldn't be new to those who've followed along with us at Merit or Myth – uniting the South Dakota farming community has been a crucial discussion point for us. We're excited to see such practices playing out in surrounding areas and confident that similar stories will start popping up across the Mt. Rushmore State soon.
In the meantime, keep your ear to the ground and listen for what your soil is telling you. There's no telling what you'll hear next!

VERY POOR management at local level, uneducated in local management job duties. Upper management did nothing when complaints were given. Raises poor unless you were buddies with the manager....had to do work of other lazy clinical employees that was in with the manager.
Unfair in job preformance evaluations unless once again you were part of the office click. Never reprimanded the employees that were "friends" of the office manager.
No regard for patient care, all about the $$$$ and number game.
I can't say enough about a very poor experience with this comany. If you need a clinical job, look elsewhere and save yourself alot of stress!! This company has a very high turnover and don't seem to care...... Benefits deteriorated over the time I worked there.
Advice to Management
CARE about your employees if that is possible for YOU. Hire office and upper managers that have a healthcare background so they have a clue about the job that needs to be done.
No more non educated or nonqualified managers off the street or within the company just ot fill an open position. You need managers educated in the job of healthcare and how to treat employees. Take complaints seriously from your employees instead of just adding a bandaide or terminating the person that gives you inside complaints. Why shoot the messenger??
Your process isn't working.
You need a real live person to intervene between employees and management for positive progress to help employee issues, otherswise you will continue to have the turnover you currently have and the many vacant positions you can't seem to fill.
Show some respect for the good employees you have.
Perhaps you should also do random drug testing on a regular basis in all locations!!

DVDs: Don't Fold, Spindle or Mutilate
In case I had any doubts, my concerns over the fragility of current and future optical-disc technology were crystallized by reader responses to a recent column on the subjectas well as an interesting (and unintended) example from Microsoft by way of my snail-mailbox.
In last Thursday's column, I noted that current DVDs lack cartridge covers to protect bare media and touched on historical reasons for the omission. When the format was in its infancy, several optical-drive manufacturers had lobbied for a hard plastic shell that would protect the disc media. However, the opposing camp held sway, and thus our current consumer video and data drives use bare media.
Here are a couple of observations from readers with concerns about "naked" storage media as well as some tips:
- "This is important not only for data storage but for video discs as well," network specialist Jim Anderson pointed out. "The video-rental industry would especially benefit from protection of the bare surfaces of discs that are rented out to one and all. It's very frustrating to be watching a rental DVD and be unable to see the complete film because some careless renter has left a huge fingerprint that has become burned into the plastic media of the disc. I would be willing to pay a premium for the peace of mind that my purchased DVDs will survive my family!"
Apparently, it's too much for the video-rental people to check the condition of the disc surface when a title is returned. (After all, the clerk doesn't have to see if it's been rewound.)
Whenever cleaning a disc by hand, the concern is with scratching the surface. To clean discs (as well as LCD screens, camera lenses and eyeglasses), I use a water-soluble, polymer-based liquid called Klear Screen from Merridrew Industries. The company sells packets with a disposable soaked cleaning pad and a lint-free cloth. This combo is better than paper towels or Kleenex. Be sure always to work the cloth out from the center of the disc instead of in a circular motion.
In addition, I like the company's new $14.95 Micro Klear Kloth Combo set, whichincludes a 14-inch-square piece of absorbent microfiber cloth (for less-critical jobs such as notebook cases and trackpads) and a similar-sized piece of optical-grade chamois for screens or optical discs. (Each cloth can be rewashed, so it's also an ecological product.)
Even as I was fielding reader comments about the fragility of discs, I received hard evidence. Microsoft sent the MSN Version 8.0 disc loose in an envelope, and it didn't survive the trip intact (see my photographic proof). I might have understood a scratch or two, but the disc arrived in three pieces! The discs are brittle, and the envelope must have been crunched by the automated mail sorter in the post office. I don't remember this problem happening with a floppy disk.
DVD media survivability is also on the mind of consultants advising their clients on long-term storage of archived data.
- "Our clients are community banks, and they blissfully use CDs to store some highly valuable scanned images (notably, checks involved in the proof-of-deposit application)," noted Gary Wayne Loew of Champion Workflow Systems. "For the very reasons you state, we've never agreed that CDs are a safe storage medium. The greater speed and capacity of DVDs offer attractive near-line storage possibilities but suffer from the same "nakedness risks" as CDs.
"I suppose this explains how, in this day and age, Kodak is still able to sell microfilm machinesmost particularly, those that "back up" digital images onto microfilm. Admittedly, microfilm does have the advantage of a stable 100-year medium and a format that won't likely become obsolete (as long as magnifying glasses exist). Still, for clients who require some kind of random-access type backup medium, DVDs would be great: if only they'd get dressed!"
While future consumer video players and recorders will still use naked discs, for some applications, such as data archive and libraries, there will be alternatives.
For example, Plasmon offers Ultra Density Optical, a blue-laser format with an initial capacity of 30GB. The standard uses the familiar 5.25-inch cartridge design currently used for its magneto-optical drives.
With some sense of postmodernist storage irony, I recall that in bygone days, the proposed DVD cartridge standard proposed two versions. The first was for a hard plastic cartridge like a floppy that would be used for ordinary uses, such as video discs and data drives. The second version of the case could open up, letting users remove the disc media. Why? For use in CD libraries, which used bare discsthe reverse of the forthcoming formats.
