The lenses we use are produced by JZO, a reputable and leading manufacturer of optical devices in Poland (and in Europe as a part in Essilor Group).

Peugeot has announced prices and specifications for its upcoming new 208.
The Ford Fiesta-rivalling supermini is due to go on sale in early 2020 in petrol, diesel and pure electric guises.
Pricing for combustion-engined versions will start from £16,250 while the all-electric e-208 will start at £25,050, inclusive of the £3,500 Government plug-in car grant.
All three powertrains will be available in three trims – Active, Allure and GT Line – while the e-208 will also come in range-topping GT trim.
All cars get active safety brake with pedestrian detection, electric and heated door mirrors and LED daytime running lights, plus 16-inch alloy wheels (steel for e-208).
Prices for Allure start from £18,850 for the 208 and £26,250 for the e-208. That adds 17-inch diamond-cut alloys (16-inch on e-208), full LED rear lights, leather-effect seat trim with double stitch detail and the Peugeot 3D i-Cockpit with configurable 3D head-up instrument panel.
GT Line models, from £20,700, feature 17-inch alloys for all models front and rear parking sensors and a reversing camera, adaptive LED headlights, eight-colour ambient lighting and night function and pedestrian/cyclist detection for the active safety brake. Styling upgrades over Allure include gloss black wheel arch extensions, twin chrome exhaust pipes (on petrol and diesel models) and a Diamond Black roof.
The all-new e-208 in GT trim is £29,100 and features automated parking assistance, adaptive cruise control, lane positioning assist, blind spot monitoring plus Alcantara leather trim, heated front seats, and a larger 10-inch touchscreen with sat nav. Specific styling features including a body coloured chequered front grille, a bespoke 'e' monogram on the C-pillar and a dichroic lion, which changes colour from different angles, mark it apart from ICE models.
The 1.2-litre petrol engine in the new 208 comes in 75bhp, 99bhp and 128bhp outputs while there is a single 99bhp 1.5-litre diesel. The most basic petrol comes with a five-speed manual transmission while more powerful petrols and the diesel get a six-speed manual and there's an optional eight-speed automatic for the 99bhp and 128bhp petrols.
The e-208 features a 136bhp electric motor driving the front wheels and paired with a 50kWh battery to offer 211 miles of range. Peugeot say that with up to 100kWh rapid charging, drivers will be able to replenish 80 per cent of the battery in 30 minutes. Home charging from a 7kW wallbox will take 7.5 hours.

Boston Cannons attackman Paul Rabil had two goals, including a two-pointer, and an assist Saturday in a 17-15 win over the Ohio Machine, giving him the new Major League Lacrosse single-season points record of 72.
Rabil, who won two NCAA championships at Johns Hopkins, received credit for the assist during a review after the game, which was the regular-season finale for the Cannons. The league confirmed the record Monday, lifting Rabil past the 71 points that current Chesapeake Bayhawks attackman John Grant Jr. scored in 2007 with the Rochester Rattlers.
Boston is seeded third in the MLL playoffs and will face the second-seeded Bayhawks at 4 p.m. Aug. 25 in Cambridge, Mass.
With the record, Rabil also won his second consecutive season scoring title. At No. 2 this season, Brendan Mundorf (UMBC, Mount St. Joseph) recorded 59 points for the Denver Outlaws.

A tour bus carrying country music star Jason Aldean struck and killed a man Monday morning in Knox County, Ind.
The man, Albert Kennedy of nearby Vincennes, Ind., was born in 1963, making him either 49 or 50, County Sheriff Michael Morris told NBC News.
Information as to why Kennedy was walking U.S. Highway 41 at around 1:30 a.m. when the collision occurred was not released. Kennedy was pronounced dead at the scene with massive head and chest injuries.
U.S. & World
Stories that affect your life across the U.S. and around the world.
Nashville-based Aldean released a statement on Facebook and Twitter expressing sorrow over the incident:
"With a heavy heart, I'm sad to say that a man passed away last night after stepping out in front of my bus in Indiana. In all the years I've been touring and all the miles we've driven, nothing prepares you for something like this to happen. I'm praying for Albert Kennedy's family and friends today and ask that you do the same."
The "My Kinda Party" singer had performed his eighth annual "Concert for the Cure" in New Orleans Friday, according to his website. Aldean raised more than $575,000 to help support a local affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure in the fight against breast cancer.
In April Aldean filed for divorce from his wife Jessica citing irreconcilable differences. That filing came six months after Aldean was photographed while appearing to kiss former "American Idol" contestant Brittany Kerr in a Los Angeles bar. Aldean later apologized to fans on Twitter for acting inappropriately.
Aldean is country's top-selling male act. He hosted the CMT Music Awards in April and is scheduled to begin a national tour in January.

LEGAL RESIDENCEIf you are a resident of Hampton County and the home/mobile home you own and occupy is your primary legal residence, you may be eligible to file for a special assessment ratio that will reduce your taxes. An application must be filed with the Assessor before the first penalty date for taxes due.
Each homeowner is allowed an exemption of the home's fair market value from property taxes for school operating costs. The amount of the savings will vary depending upon the millage rate for school operating costs in the school district where you live. The exemption applies only to your legal residence, not second homes, vacation homes, or rental homes.
MULTIPLE LOT DISCOUNTIf you owned undeveloped acreage that was subdivided into 10 or more unsold lots within a homogenous area, and the conditional or final plat was recorded with the appropriate county official on or before the December 31 tax control date, you may qualify for a discount in appraisal/assessment. Platted lots will not quality for this discount unless the property owner files a written application on or before May 1 of the current tax year.
The assessment notice is NOT a tax bill. The notice is simply to notify taxpayers of a change in their property's value.
Tax bills are usually mailed in September/October and must be paid by January 15.
The assessment notice includes your market value, the new assessment value, the assessment ratio, number of acres or lots, location of property, tax map number and the appeals procedure.
If after receiving your assessment notice, you disagree with the new value assigned to your property, you have the right to appeal. An appeal must be filed in writing within 90 days of the date of the assessment notice. You must file your appeal with the County Assessor. Don't wait until your tax bill arrives to appeal your new value; it is then too late.

New iPhone Won't Store Fingerprints
In the summer of Snowden, Apple chose to introduce a fingerprint sensor on its highest-end iPhone. Danny Yadron joins the News Hub with a look at privacy implications and whether anyone should worry about the National Security Agency. Photo: Apple.

Students attending Cameron University-Duncan can now utilize the recreation center at Duncan's Simmons Center (SC) at no charge, thanks to a partnership agreement between Cameron University and The Simmons Center. Through the agreement, CU-Duncan students will have access to a physical fitness center comparable to Cameron's Aggie Rec Center in Lawton.
"Cameron University has enjoyed a great partnership with The Simmons Center for over a decade through the annual CU@SC series of concerts, plays, exhibits and lectures," says Cameron President John McArthur. "Additionally, Cameron's Department of Health and Physical Education uses the recreation center for various physical education-related classes. By expanding our partnership with The Simmons Center, we can now offer approximately 600 Cameron students access to a first-class health and fitness facility in Duncan."
"The Simmons Center is pleased to expand its relationship with Cameron University," says Junior Harris, Executive Director, The Simmons Center. "We look forward to having college students actively engaged in activities that promote a healthy lifestyle.

Sorry, Oatmeal. Your precious mantis shrimp – with its ultraviolet visual abilities and admittedly powerful raptorial appendages – is no match for the deadly cunning of a hungry octopus.
Via WeirdunderWaterWorld:
In this epic battle, we witness who would win if a mantis shrimp was pitted against a veined octopus. It's a face to face, eye to eye crusade of the octopus versus the mantis shrimp!
Epic? Please. This is basically a mantis shrimp snuff film. What good is ultraviolet vision if you can't spot a hungry cephalopod, amirite?
Go team octopus.

Over the past decade we have seen tremendous transformation on how messaging middleware has become a core necessity for most of the solutions across domains (banking, retail, automobile, insurance, etc..). In order to ensure we cater to every business needs, IBM has engineered various messaging solutions catering to different segments.
While it does seem IBM has multiple messaging solutions, they are all strategically positioned to address various business needs. It is important we understand these business requirements and see how each of the messaging provider addresses those requirements.
This blog aims at providing you a consolidated view for all the IBM messaging solutions and points you to the right information center where you can get more details.
- WebSphere MQ
- Liberty Messaging
- Service Integration Bus (SIBus)
- WebSphere Low Latency Messaging (LLM)
- IBM MessageSight
- IBM MQ Light
- Bluemix Messaging Service (Cloud messaging)
WebSphere MQ:
WebSphere MQ can transport any type of data as messages, enabling businesses to build flexible, reusable architectures such as service-oriented architecture (SOA) environments. It works with a broad range of computing platforms, applications, web services and communications protocols for security-rich message delivery. WebSphere MQ provides a communications layer for visibility and control of the flow of messages and data inside and outside your organization

Liberty Messaging:
WebSphere® Application Server V8.5 includes a Liberty profile, which is a highly composable, dynamic application server profile. Liberty messaging is an embedded messaging feature in the Liberty profile. It is a composable, flexible, and dynamic JMS messaging engine that runs within the Liberty profile. Liberty messaging is JMS 1.1 compliant and supports both the point-to-point and publish/subscribe messaging models.
Liberty messaging runs only in the Liberty run time, and you can use the Liberty feature manager to enable or disable the messaging features as required. Because the messaging run time is highly composable, you can enable the basic messaging features for the run time, and dynamically enable more messaging features, such as security, transactions, and remote communication, based on your requirement.

Service Integration Bus
Service integration provides asynchronous messaging services within the WebSphere Application Server context. In asynchronous messaging, producing applications do not send messages directly to consuming applications. Instead, they send messages to destinations. Consuming applications receive messages from these destinations. A producing application can send a message and then continue processing without waiting until a consuming application receives the message. If necessary, the destination stores the message until the consuming application is ready to receive it

IBM MQ Light
BM® MQ Light provides a messaging runtime that developers can install, configure, and use to write applications in just a few minutes. MQ Light aims to enable developers to quickly create scalable and responsive applications. In a typical example, you might have an application that accepts web requests. MQ Light can provide messaging that enables the web request handlers to offload work to worker processes using a queue, so they can return to handle the next request immediately.
MQ Light is designed to reduce the amount of time spent administering messaging resources, so freeing up time to concentrate on the business logic of your application instead. It takes minimal configuration to start MQ Light and to connect your first application. MQ Light uses an API that is designed to be simple to use, providing the basic messaging capabilities that your applications need.
MQ Light provides a convenient deployment process for developers. There is no installer – you just extract the provided
.zip or
tar.gz file to a chosen directory. No specific permissions are required to install or run MQ Light, so you can install it to a user's home directory. You can use the 'start' command provided to start the messaging runtime environment in a single click.
MQ Light is currently available as a beta:

Bluemix Messaging Service (Cloud messaging)
MQ Light is a cloud-based messaging service that provides a flexible and easy-to-use messaging service for Bluemix applications. You can use MQ Light to send single messages to individual recipients by way of shared destinations, or as a publish/subscribe broker for sending messages to multiple recipients by using exclusive destinations.

Nick Masset injures knee, placed on Rockies disabled list after another passed ball
On the same day the Rockies gained back relief pitcher Boone Logan from the disabled list, they lost another from the bullpen: Nick Masset injured his left knee in Saturday's game and on Sunday was placed on the 15-day disabled list.
Masset has a patellar tendon strain, according to Rockies' head athletic trainer, Keith Dugger. The right-hander will likely be inactive for at least two weeks before the team reevaluates his status.
"He's limping around. We have him on crutches," Dugger said. "We hope in two weeks he feels better." Read more…

LCHS performs at Walt Disney World Resort
take part in Disney Performing Arts program in Orlando, Fla.
Send a link to a friend
22, 2014]
ORLANDO, Fla. — The Lincoln
Community High School Marching Railers became stars of their own
Disney show on April 16 when they entertained resort guests at the
Magic Kingdom Park. They traveled from Lincoln, Ill. to the Walt
Disney World Resort in Florida to take part in the Disney Performing
Arts program.
The band opened for the brand-new Festival of Fantasy
Parade at the Magic Kingdom Park. Students followed the same route
as the Main Street Electrical Parade, passing by the iconic
Cinderella Castle and then into Liberty Square and Frontierland. The
location gave band members a unique experience and opportunity to
shine, while also elevating their performance skills at a
high-profile venue.
This was the band's sixth visit to the resort with the Disney
performance program. The band first performed there in April 1995.
Vocal, instrumental and dance ensembles from all around the world
apply to perform each year as a part of Disney Performing Arts at
both the Disneyland Resort in California and the Walt Disney World
Resort in Florida. Once selected, they are given the opportunity to
perform for an international audience of theme park guests. Millions
of performers have graced the stages of the Disney parks in the more
than 25-year history of the program.

Disney Performing Arts unlocks student potential and helps young
people make their own dreams come true – whether it's performing in

parks and resorts or honing their craft in workshops and clinics
taught by entertainment professionals. Disney workshops and
performance opportunities enrich, inspire and often lead to

Employment Retention and Advancement Project, 2000-2007 [United States] (ICPSR 33181)
Version Date: Mar 30, 2012 View help for published

Gayle Hamilton, MDRC
Version V1
Summary View help for Summary
The Employment Retention and Advancement (ERA) project was designed to fill the gap in knowledge about employment retention and advancement strategies that might be effective. The goal of ERA was to identify and rigorously test a diverse set of innovative models designed to promote employment stability and wage or earnings progression among current or former welfare recipients or other low-income groups. As part of ERA, over a dozen different program models have been evaluated over the past 10 years using random assignment research designs. These models embodied states' and localities' choices of program goals, target populations, and program features, and the programs were largely paid for through existing funding streams. The programs were thus "real-world" interventions initiated by practitioners and not programs set up and funded solely for research purposes. The diversity of the models presents an opportunity to explore the effectiveness of a variety of strategies implemented for different populations in order to identify what might work. This collection includes seven datasets, four classified as Core/Final Report Sites and three from Harder to Employ Sites. Almost all of the ERA programs targeted current or former recipients of Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), the cash welfare program that mainly serves single mothers and their children. The programs differed, however, in terms of when services were first provided and to whom. The Harder to Employ Sites files focus on the three ERA models that served harder to employ populations; (1) Tier 2 program in Minnesota: unemployed welfare-to-work participants who were in welfare-to-work services for a year or longer and hadn't been employed in the previous three months were given welfare-to-work services aimed at addressing barriers to employment which took into account their employment limitations. The Tier 2 program focused on assessing barriers to employment and addressing those barriers through referrals to appropriate services and close monitoring and follow-up. (2) New York City PRIDE: welfare recipients who were deemed "employable with limitations" were required to take part in welfare-to-work activities -- which emphasized unpaid work experience, education, and job placement assistance -- however, the program took into account their employment limitations when placing them in activities. The PRIDE program began with an in-depth assessment of participants' work and education history and their medical conditions. (3) New York City Substance Abuse Case Management (SACM): public assistance applicants and recipients who screened positive for signs of substance abuse were given a mandatory appointment to assess the level of substance abuse treatment needed. Depending on the outcome of the assessment, clients were referred to treatment, employment services, or a combination of both. Noncompliance at any stage resulted in sanctions and loss of public assistance benefits. Information was collected on respondents' employment status, job training, pay rate and benefits, occupation sector, health care, childcare, transportation, and a variety of job related topics. Demographic variables included household income, housing arrangements, number of people living in household, and respondent health status.

text: Three years and three months ago I took my son Jackson to a building on Route 7 in Latham for his first visit to a special pre-k playgroup. It was run by trained teachers who specialize in helping kids who have trouble communicating. One hour later I sat in my car crying. While the other children, some younger than him, were able to follow basic instructions Jackson would listen for a moment and then go off and do whatever he wanted. If they pushed him even a little he cried. So outside we sat in the car where he looked at the clouds and I cried. As a parent who loved him dearly I was in a dark place and despite very smart people telling me things were going to "be ok" I couldn't see the light on the horizon. All I could see was a 20-month-old child who was not speaking and different than other children his age. A week earlier he, his mother and I went to the Center For Disability Services in Albany to have one of the best doctors in the state look at him. Within an hour she told us he had dyspraxia, a speech disorder that is totally correctable. Even though you are hearing those two words -- totally correctable, it is still hard to believe a child who can't even say "Mom" or "Dad" is going to be speaking in complete sentences some day. The trip to the special pre-k class was the first step to helping him, the second and biggest was the county assigning a speech therapist to help him. Thank God they gave us a remarkable woman named Catherine Kunz. If you've never had a speech therapist in your life what they do is as difficult as it is amazing. They come into your home, get down on the floor with your child with special books and toys and go to work. It looks like play but it's so much more. The first thing she needed to do was get Jackson communicating in any way possible (besides crying). She taught him three words in sign language -- please, more, and thank you. I remembered saying to her, "Cathy he's not deaf why would you teach him to 'sign.' We need him to talk." She politely corrected me and said, "No John, we need him to communicate." His brain and tongue were both fine but the dyspraxia acted as a roadblock so when he opened his mouth nothing came out. Imagine how frustrating that must be for a toddler to want to say "ball" or "drink" but not be able to. That is the world of a dyspraxic child. First he learned to sign and then after months of hard work Jackson figured out it was easier to say the word "more" than use the sign for more. One week he was speaking two words, the next week five. Like an ice berg he and Cathy were chipping away at the dyspraxia one day at a time. It's a battle they waged together over hundreds of sessions. Jackson starts kindergarten this fall but first he has one last difficult thing to do. He has to say goodbye to Cathy, this wonderful woman who came into his home three times a week for three plus years holding his hand through this incredible journey from darkness to light. Cathy told us on day one that our ultimate goal was to walk Jackson into school when he was five years old and have no one know there was ever a problem. As she wrapped up her session with him the other day she said five words I never thought I'd hear -- "He doesn't need me anymore." You see Jackson is better now and the words come. So much so that there are times when I want to look into the rear view mirror of the car and tell him to stop talking for a minute so I can concentrate on the road. I don't of course because I remember sitting in that parking lot three years and three months ago when my little boy was shut out from the world. I wanted to write about this because I know there are parents out there right now with a two- or three-year-old who is not talking. It could be nothing but if there is a problem please know there are wonderful people available to help you. And above all don't despair. I've been exactly where you are and it's a sad and scary place to be. Just believe and be patient and miracles do happen. And if you see me out and about with a five year old feel free to say 'Hi.' Trust me, Jackson will have lots to say back to you. John Gray is co-anchor of Fox 23 News. His column runs on Wednesdays.

Michael Olito
Canadian (born in England), b. 1942
Phoenix Wings and Horse Masks from Phoenix, 1984
sticks, string, paint, feathers, mirror reflectors
Collection of the Winnipeg Art Gallery; Acquired with funds from The Winnipeg Foundation
Sculpture, Canadian Contemporary (1980-present)
This installation consists of the remnants of a performance work by Michael Olito. On October 28, 1984, the artist performed Phoenix. The piece begins with a single drummer on stage invoking a gigantic horse. The artist, wearing a wooden primitive looking horse's head, joins the drummer. The drumming stops and a person appears at the back of the room. Yelling, he rushes at the horse, beating him down. The drumming resumes and increases in intensity. The assailant retreats, the drumming ceases, the lights dim, and all is quiet. Then the drumming begins again, increasing in tempo as the lights comes up and the artist rises, wearing magnificent wings. In a highly ritualistic manner, this performance communicates optimism and hope.

Nearly 1,000 people sign up to be blood donors
PUBLISHED: 08:49 31 December 2012 | UPDATED: 09:40 31 December 2012
Thousands of lives will be saved this winter thanks to Evening News readers who pledged to roll up their sleeves and become blood donors.
The Evening News' New Blood campaign, which aimed to recruit 750 donors during December, smashed its targets today when it was revealed that a fantastic 939 people in Norfolk and north Suffolk had supported the cause.
Nigel Pickover, editor-in-chief of the Eastern Daily Press and Norwich Evening News, said: "I'm thrilled to bits. Giving blood is so important, and there can be nothing better than helping to save people's lives.
"The NHS blood service needs our enduring support: not just through this campaign but for life."
Just 4pc of the population who are eligible to give blood are registered donors – but around 7,000 units of blood are used every day in Britain.
The New Blood campaign, in association with NHS Blood and Transplant, also aimed to combat the fall in blood stocks around bank holidays and busy periods when people are preoccupied and forget to donate. Since the campaign was launched at the beginning of December nearly 1,000 of you have signed up to become donors – and many people have also contacted us to explain how vital that donation is.
Someone who knows better than most how precious blood supplies can be is mum Vicki Kerr. She needed more than seven units of blood after she gave birth to her son, Thomas, in 2005.
"I had a normal pregnancy with Thomas," said Ms Kerr, who lives in Mill Street, Horsham St Faith with her partner, Adie Russen, 40, a plumber. "He was 10 days overdue but weighed 6lbs 10oz. I did have a tear and there was some blood loss but the problem was that the cord snapped and the placenta stayed inside me."
Haemorrhaging blood, Miss Kerr, 36, a teacher at Hainford pre-school, was taken to theatre where surgeons spent five hours removing her placenta and transfusing around seven pints of blood.
"They couldn't get the blood into me quick enough so they ended up transfusing it through the main artery in my neck. I was awake throughout the whole ordeal. It was horrific."
Miss Kerr, who also has a five-year-old daughter, Ellie, was transferred to a high dependency ward where she stayed for a few days before she was released from hospital.
"I am very grateful to everyone who donated blood," she said. "I went to the blood donor stand at the Forum to see if I could donate but unfortunately I can't. If I could give blood, I would. Without the blood donors, I wouldn't be here – it is so important that people give."
As part of the New Blood campaign, a recruitment drive was held outside The Forum on Thursday, December 13. Fifty people showed their support and became blood donors.
Around 20 students from the Norwich School pledged to save a life after a talk from Georgina Norris, donor relations co-ordinator for NHS blood and transplant service, on Friday, December 7.
Rosie Howard, a lettings negotiator, was one of those who was inspired to become a blood donor after reading about the campaign.
The 34-year-old, who lives in Sir Edward Stracey Road in Rackheath, with her partner Will Palgrave-Moore and her four daughters, signed up to the donor register two weeks ago.
"It's something I have always wanted to do but never got around to do it. I read about it in the paper and a couple of other girls at work said that they wanted to do it, too. We all signed up and our boss is keen as well.
"I have four daughters and I haven't needed any blood but I know quite a lot of my friends have.
"I am looking forward to giving blood – I will feel a sense of achievement and I will have done something good."
Jade Sloan, 21, who lives in Beeston, with her partner Adam Ward and their daughter, Holly, one, also joined the donor register.
Miss Sloan, who works as a foot practitioner, said she had wanted to be a blood donor for a number of years but was not sure how to sign up and get involved.
"I have wanted to be a blood donor for ages," she said. "I never knew how to go about it. I saw the form in the paper and decided to sign up. I'm giving blood on Friday."
She said after hearing about the blood service's appeal to recruit younger donors aged between 18 and 25, she encouraged her brother to sign up too.
"I don't know anyone who has needed a blood transfusion but if I was in the situation, I would want people to help me out," she added.
Members of the Norfolk and Norwich Operatic Society swapped the stage for a bed when they showed their support for the campaign.
Thespians took time out of their rehearsals to meet the blood team's mascot, Billy Blood Drop, who signed up new members.
Norwich City legend Darren Huckerby backed the campaign and called on people to join the blood donor register this year.
Darren, 36, said: "I fully support the campaign. I started donating blood around two-and-a-half years ago. As soon as I finished playing football I decided I would do it.
"I thought it would be a good thing to do and I could do it at Carrow Road so it was pretty easy to fit in and I have given blood ever since."
He has donated eight units of blood – enough to save nearly 25 lives.
As well as recruiting new blood donors, the campaign also triggered former donors who had lapsed to sign up.
Sarah Daniels, 45, of Sunnigdale, Eaton, signed up to give blood.
The health and safety consultant said: "I have been meaning to do it for a while and I saw the campaign and signed up. It has been on my list of things to do for a while.
"I have given blood before but I haven't been for years. I gave around 15 pints when I was a lot younger. Giving blood is habitual." Mrs Daniels said.
"It seems like an easy thing to do and there's no reason why I shouldn't do it.
"We live in a rural county and we value our health service."
She added that she would encourage her daughter, Jasmin, 16, to join the register when she is old enough.

NEW ORLEANS (AP) -- Comedian and actor Kevin Hart has been added to the main stage lineup for the 2012 Essence Music Festival in New Orleans.
Organizers say Hart, hot on the heels of his starring role in last weekend's No. 1 film, "Think Like a Man," will debut his comedic talents during the festival scheduled for July 6-8 at the Superdome. Hart joins a lineup that includes Aretha Franklin, Mary J. Blige, Charlie Wilson, Ledisi, Fantasia, and Eve.
The festival drew more than 422,000 attendees last year.
Essence Fest began as a one-time event celebrating the 25th anniversary of Essence magazine. The festival is organized by Essence Communications Inc., a media company with a presence in publishing, live events and online services.

I had read about this new technology before, but never had the time to play with it. The presentation turned out to be pretty cool. I think WCF RIA Services provides a very neat way to design n-tier apps without much hassle as it takes care of much of the heavy lifting for you providing very easy data validation, authentication, and role-based security amongst other awesomeness. Also through code projection it automatically allows shared code between UI and the service tier, which makes it easy to write code once and use it cross-tier. While WCF RIA Services can be used with any front-end, e.g. WinForms and ASP.NET, it really shines when combined with a Silverlight front-end. The best part of the technology is automatic batch updates, which is really neat.

KOffice Releases 10th Alpha of KOffice 2.0
The KOffice team, developers, students, packagers and bug reporters have prepared the final Alpha release of KOffice 2.0: KOffice 2.0 Alpha 10. KOffice will enter feature freeze in two weeks, so the next release will be the first Beta. And we are committed to releasing as many Beta's as is necessary before declaring Release Candidate status for KOffice 2.0. Read on for more details.
This Alpha release contains all the work done by the Google Summer of Code students. Remember, these are: a bristle-based brush engine for Krita, a calligraphy tool for Karbon (which is available in all applications), a quantum leap in KWord ODF support, especially for styles, lists, page styles, a .doc to .odt conversion filter, a .kpr to .odp conversion filter, the presentation view for KPresenter, and the Kexi web forms feature...
Other highlights of this release are:
As well as many bug fixes, stability improvements and ODF compliance, there are improvements all over KOffice.
Please go to the announcement for more information, the Changelog for a list of all the changes the developers could remember, the Visual Changelog for screenshots and the Release Notes for download information.
And in the meantime, enjoy this screenshot of artwork done in Krita by the French artist Enkhitan:
Wow! You guys rock!
Just a question: Why does the screenshot show two scrollbars?

Beta version / functions
For the beta version coming up, is there a user manual describing all functionality to try out in KOffice 2?
By Axel at Fri, 2008/08/29 - 5:00am
Re: Beta version / functions
Not yet -- and it's unlikely we (that's the developers) will manage to come up with one. I try to write bits and pieces of the Krita manual when compiling, but I'm not making much progress. And I've started with the plugin writer's part of the manual first.
By Boudewijn Rempt at Sat, 2008/08/30 - 5:00am
Re: Beta version / functions
Ok, hope the GUI is intuitive then.
Maybe there's a list of functions, and where to find them in the GUI.
By Axel at Sat, 2008/08/30 - 5:00am
KOffice is really looking good. Thank you for all hard work. I know the team is busy building out the software, but when do you think we can see a Plugin/SDK/Documentation for programmers to utilize KOffice in other applications.
By Mike at Fri, 2008/08/29 - 5:00am
Re: SDK
KOffice1, and probably KOffice2, provides a KPart for using it in applications. Also, I'm pretty sure Flake is exported so 3rd-party applications can use it as well.
By Michael "KParts... at Sat, 2008/08/30 - 5:00am
Re: SDK
Today! :)
Note that koffice2.0 will not have a source/binary-compatibility yet. This is postponed to the 2.1 release.

Bug Reporting
Is bugs.kde.org the place to report bugs for KOffice2? I was playing around with the different shapes. I embedded a picture in a new document and put in some text to wrap around it. However, the picture doesn't save with the document. In other words, when I save and close the document and then open it up again, the picture is no longer there. All that remains is the text.
I really like how KOffice2 is shaping up as well. The floating toolbars is nice, as are all the different flake shapes. I also like how easy it is now add a background to a page. It seems like it will be very easy to create flyers, bulletins, newsletters, etc. when this new version is complete. Not to mention professional looking letters and such. Looking forward to the final product. Keep up the good work.

KOffice for Windows
As my only PC is running on Windows, I wonder that will KOffice for Windows be available at the same time as the version for Linux? I hope it will happen.
By Jo at Tue, 2008/09/02 - 5:00am
Re: KOffice for Windows
It may not be exactly the same time, but we try to make all releases of KOffice available on windows as soon as possible. Probable gotchas may be compilation problems (almost all developers work on Linux, so it's easy to introduce little linuxisms) or just the time the windows people have available -- it's a very, very small team that's doing this.
