Optical disc the DataPlay format, can have capacity comparable to that of the larger, standard compact 12 cm disc. Third-generation optical discs are in development, meant for distributing high-definition video and support greater data storage capacities, accomplished with short-wavelength visible-light lasers and greater numerical apertures. Blu-ray Disc and HD DVD uses blue-violet lasers and focusing optics of greater aperture, for use with discs with smaller pits and lands, thereby greater data storage capacity per layer. In practice, the effective multimedia presentation capacity is improved with enhanced video data compression codecs such as H.264/MPEG-4 AVC and VC-1. The following formats go beyond the
Capacity to be alone Capacity to be alone Capacity to be alone is a developmentally acquired ability, considered by object relations theory to be a key to creative living. Julia Kristeva sees it as central to an authentic inner life, as well as to creative sublimations in life and art. D. W. Winnicott in his article of that name (1958/64) highlighted the importance of the capacity to be alone, distinguishing it from both withdrawal and loneliness, and seeing it as derived from an internalisation of the non-intrusive background presence of a mothering figure. Winnicott in his writings always stressed the importance of the baby
