It's a busy Sunday in the WLOX 24-7 Weather Center as our meteorologists are tracking one of the strongest Arctic fronts we've seen in many years. Our team of experienced forecasters is working hard to prepare and keep you ahead of the storm.
As of Sunday morning, the cold front was draped across the nation's mid-section from Chicago and Detroit, southwest toward St. Louis and Dallas. A band of heavy snow is falling right along this front, adding to the snow pack across the Central Plains.
With fresh snowfall covering much of the area to our north, any sunshine we do receive will have a very difficult time warming things up. The sunshine will be reflected back into the atmosphere rather than absorbed into the earth's surface, so the effects of this unusually strong Arctic air mass will be felt farther south than it normally would.
Because this is such a rare situation that is unfolding, forecast models are having a hard time predicting temperatures. Minor details with this system as it moves southward can have a major impact on our forecast, so we're watching every move it makes in order to get a better understanding of how it will affect us early in the week.
As the cold front passes this Sunday evening, expect a few light showers followed by rapidly falling temperatures. Winds will be strong out of the northwest, reinforcing the cold air and making it feel much colder than it actually is. Any rain left behind on roadways will likely freeze over, so use caution while driving even though we do not expect any significant frozen precipitation in South Mississippi.
The unusually cold air will linger through the first half of the week, making for some frigid overnight temperatures that may rival some of our records. Strong winds will keep temperatures from dropping as much Monday morning, but the wind chill will certainly be a factor. Tuesday may be the coldest morning as winds should calm down a bit, but even without the strong winds; the colder temperatures and a lighter wind may lead to wind chills in the single digits and lower teens as far south as the Mississippi Gulf Coast.
Stay warm and safe as this cold snap brings uncomfortably cold wind chills and temperatures to South Mississippi. As always, stay tuned to WLOX and WLOX.com for the most up-to-date information concerning your forecast. Also, don't forget to download the WLOX Weather App to your smart phone.

The West Cavan West Fermanagh Regeneration Project worked on the ground to deliver cross border, cross community initiatives in these areas since 2009.
The project targeted the private, community/voluntary and business sectors. Its aim to regenerate the area, through the delivery of a number of initiatives such as training; cross border networking, seminars, best practice trips and mentoring support.
The project worked with 15 active cross border cross community groups and 18 communities within the West Cavan/Fermanagh area.
Over 1500 participants on the project had the common aim of wanting to come together to promote positive community relations through cultural understanding and raising awareness of cultural diversity.
The project also had a role in tourism development in the area by encouraging and supporting local communities to develop rural tourism businesses given the potential of the Geopark.
The IFI funded programme of activity ceased on 31
December 2013, however a group of individuals from these communities continue to network and meet on a regular basis in order to maintain the important relationships founded and as a means to join up development for the region. You can contact this group on their facebook page or by emailing

You know what the best gifts are this season? The ones that come after the 25th! From a music lover's point of view, it is always awesome to listen to a great mixtape. Most of the time, I almost think it's unfair because the music is too good to be free but I won't complain too much. ;) Three talented artists recently released their free mixtapes and I wanted to share with you the goodies I found from Austin Brown, JoJo and Luke James so I hope you guys listen and love!
Austin Brown – Highway 85
Backpack Kids own, Austin Brown released a nice Christmas present with his first official full length LP, Highway 85. This mixtape, which features production and songwriting from Austin and his BPK crew Tommy Parker, Kelly Parker, and Scott Bruzenak, is a tasty smorgasbord of various sounds ranging from 60s pop to 90s hip hop that come together so seamlessly that you dive right into the layers with no problems at all.
JoJo – Agápē
JoJo is not simply a singer but a sanger. She shows off her vocal chops perfectly in her mixtape, Agápē whether she is proclaiming her love for Andre 3000, talking about going to the canyon or remaking a Joni Mitchell classic. Interwoven with funny personal interludes, the mixtape details her struggles and triumphs in the music industry and beyond in an honest and refreshing way, starting with the raw track, Back2thebeginningagain.
Luke James – Whispers In The Dark
With a Mo Better Blues backdrop, Luke James creates a grown and sexy vibe with his new mixtape, Whispers In the Dark. Produced mainly by New Age Rock Stars' Danja, the New Orleans singer and songwriter delivers incredibly on this LP which fuses soul, R&B and jazz into one delectable treat.

Digital Natives: Students Can Teach Teachers a Thing or Two
Marc Prensky has coined the phrase "digital natives." He says that it is "the most useful designation I have found for [students today]. Our students today are all 'native speakers' of the digital language of computers, video games, and the Internet." They are comfortable with the latest technology before most teachers even know it exists.
I teach, among other things, digital video production. Last December, our school got a grant for various things, with $1,200 reserved for digital media. I was driving across the California desert when an assistant principal called my cell and told me I needed to tell her how to spend the money -- now!
I immediately said to buy four video iPods. I wanted to see whether students could put their films on the iPods and use them as something of a portable portfolio. When I got them, I handed them to students and told them to see whether they could get their movies on them. I didn't give any instructions on how to do it or when I wanted to know. I just said, "Show me when you get it done."
About six weeks went by and I had forgotten about it, when two students came to me and said they had done it. They proudly showed a couple of short films to me on the iPod. They had solved the problem without any input from me, and now they wanted to teach me how to do it. Digital natives, indeed!

Last December, it was announced that China would be building a 1-GW solar PV plant, the largest in the world at time, but soon after, plans for a 1.3-GW solar project in California were revealed, taking the title away from China. Well, it looks like China is generic levitra effective back on top again, at least for now, with plans to build a 2-GW solar PV plant in the Mongolian Desert, the world's largest by far.
The Chinese government is partnering with U.S.-based First Solar to bring this project to life and we choice real viagra online the company is considering building a manufacturing facility in China to supply the panels for the large project. The 16,000-acre plant would cost somewhere between $5 and $6 billion if built here, but should cost slightly less to build in China. Construction will begin next year on ojalafilms.com the first phase, a 30 MW demo project. Over the next decade, the other hundreds of megawatts will be added and the visit web site levitra canadian plant should power about three million Chinese homes.
The plant is part of viagra canada no prescription an 11,950-MW renewable-energy park (yes, you read that right) planned for Ordos City, Inner Mongolia. The park will feature wind, solar PV, solar thermal, biomass and hydro storage projects.
This project is another large leap that China is making to meet their goals of having 20 percent of their energy come from renewable sources by 2020 and to reach a cap on their CO2 emissions by 2030.

The energy produced from that plant could be easily upped using half the http://www.enshift.com/low-cost-viagra materials and land if the solar plant would use the know concept of running a refrigeration cycle in reverse to generate power The solar panels could be used to heat water to best viagra 165°F.
That is the hottest the water temp is buy cheap tramadol online that runs the china hot springs geothermal plant. The water doesn't get any hotter up their. The only real difference is it could be done with out having to drill a single hole. The most expensive part of geothermal. http://www.yourownpower.com/Power/#How it Works ... This link shows how the geo plant works. It could be modified to use a solar water heater instead of ground heated hot water, rembember alaskas only geothermal plant uses luke warm water at 165 degrees. No super steam needed.

Every day, dozens of Chinese workers die in factory accidents. Sometimes from release of hydrofluoric acid gas, sometimes from being run over by forklift truck and sometimes from electrocution.
Solar cells also have a limited lifespan before the www.syncom.nl photon receptors wear out. The more current you draw. the faster they wear. Because you will have to replace the cells in only three years it turns out to be a very expensive way to make power. It costs money and levitra no rx required people's lives.
We have the technology today to convert coal directly into electrical energy. There is no need for solar power generation.

BOCA RATON, Florida - NHL General Managers convened for the first of three days of meetings and picked up on a discussion that has been ongoing for the last few years and picked up traction the last time the group met back in Toronto in November: namely how to reduce the number of games that are decided in a shootout.
"The shootout, there's nothing wrong with it, I think it's an exciting part of the game but it's just one small aspect," said Chicago Blackhawks GM Stan Bowman. "It's a skill exhibition. If you can get it back closer to regular hockey and have it decided that way; that would be my preference."
"I don't think it's a knock on the shootout, I think more of the managers would like to see it end in overtime," added Washington Capitals GM George McPhee. "Shootout's fun though, people like it, kids love it."
In 2011, 14.7% of games were not decided by the end overtime. While it fell to 13.5% in 2012, the number has been on the rise again, climbing to 14.1% in 2013 and 14.3% so far this season.
Collectively, the sentiment among the group continues to trend towards the desire to see more games end in regulation or overtime but the methods to go about achieving that are being disputed.
Detroit Red Wings GM Ken Holland has long been an advocate of featuring three on three play after five minutes of four on four overtime. While he pushed for it back in November, the concept appeared to have little support this morning. The problem is that because it occurs so rarely in games, it's difficult to truly understand what impact it might have on the game before implementing it.
"You see three on three for maybe a minute or forty five seconds and the one team might just be waiting to get their power play so they might attack a little bit differently than if it was a full two minutes," said Blues GM Doug Armstrong. "To see it, you have to see it for the full two minutes with everyone at even strength."
So far, the ideas that appear to be gaining the most support are more subtle by nature, avoiding a drastic alteration in the game the way extending overtime or shifting to three on three would. Potentially changing ends to start overtime so that teams would have to stray farther from their own end to change as they do during the second period of regulation and doing a dry scrape of the ice after regulation instead of waiting until before the shootout seemed to pick up some traction.
While it wouldn't be a radical difference, Stars GM Jim Nill pointed to the inclusion of the rule preventing players from changing after icing the puck prior to the 2005-2006 season as a subtle tweak that had a positive impact.
"It's amazing how some little things can have a big impact," Nill said. "Years ago if you would have said if you iced the puck and had to stay on the ice, everybody would have said it's not that big of a deal. But it is a big deal. It's amazing how little things can change the game."

BESTOWING A "fat long-term contract" on the Massachusetts Bay Commuter Railroad essentially privatizes the commuter rail system and would indeed be "hard to swallow," as the Globe points out ("Longer contract would ease woes of T's commuter rail," Editorial, Jan. 4).
After the MBTA board said that as many as 25 companies would be competing for the contract, it is shocking that only MBCR and one other company are in the running. Other firms reportedly perceived that MBCR had the inside track and dropped out. Massachusetts commuters and taxpayers deserve better.

Johnny Galecki Bringing A 'Big Bang' As He Guest Stars On Final Season Of 'Entourage'
Move over Johnny Drama, another Johnny is coming to town on "Entourage."
Johnny Galecki of "The Big Bang Theory" is headed to HBO to play himself in the final season of "Entourage," a rep for the actor confirmed to Access Hollywood.
The actor will play a "tougher" version of himself, the rep noted.
Eric, played by Kevin Connolly, and Scott Lavin, played by the Golden Globe nominated Scott Caan (for his work on "Hawaii 5-0") will sign Johnny as a client.
It appears though, that the actor will be creating a "Big Bang" for Eric, taking an interest in his girlfriend, Sloan (Emanuelle Chiriqui).
As previously reported by AccessHollywood.com, executives for the network confirmed back in August that "Entourage" would end in 2011, however a feature film may follow the final season.

Want more proof that Jon Bon Jovi is truly a nice guy under it all? A Bon Jovi fan named Branka Delic had her dream come true Saturday when her rock and roll idol, Jon Bon Jovi agreed to walk her down the aisle! It all happened at Graceland Wedding Chapel in Las Vegas. Coincidentally, that's the same spot where Jon married his wife Dorothea in 1989. How did she do it? Delic started a campaign in her local paper and also started a Facebook page titled, Bon Jovi, Walk Me Down the Aisle? It just so happened, Bon Jovi was in Las Vegas for a show, and since rock stars generally spend a lot of time hanging around the hotel room doing nothing, waiting for sound check, or for the show to start, he took time out to head down to the chapel and walk her down the aisle.

Day 2 of the Outrageous Fortune 20 Day Challenge: Favourite main male character
Wolfgang Theodore West
Cheryl: We're not breaking any rules
Wolf: Not yet
Not only is Wolf mighty fine, but he is the perfect balance of total badass and loving father and family man. Despite all the shit he went through with his family, what with his wife having an affair, Loretta and Jethro setting him up for prison, and having an illegitimate half brother, he still loves and cherishes his whole family, and you gotta love him for that. I really wish that Wolf had been in the final season, but he wasn't… I've said it before and I'll say it again, I really wish that Wolf and Cheryl have got back together, even though they live in TV land and time discontinues after the show ends… Unfortunately.

Can Ewing tumors be prevented?
Next Topic
How are Ewing tumors diagnosed?
Can Ewing tumors be found early?
Ewing tumors are uncommon, and there are no widely recommended screening tests for these tumors. (Screening is testing for cancer in people without any symptoms.) Still, Ewing tumors are sometimes found early, before they have spread widely.
The most common symptom of a Ewing tumor is pain in the area of the tumor. In some cases the tumor may show up as a lump or swelling on an arm, leg, or the trunk. Sometimes the lump feels warmer than the rest of the body, and in some cases the child may have general symptoms like a fever or not feeling well.
Of course, children and teens often get sore or have lumps and bumps from normal activities. But pains or lumps that don't go away should be checked by a doctor. The same is true if a lump feels warm and/or the child has a fever. These symptoms are more likely to have other causes, such as an infection, but they need to be checked by a doctor so that the cause can be found and treated, if needed.

What's ahead for the cards you carry?
Expect less direct-mail advertising and a lot more social media and targeted ads, plus a big push for nontraditional bank customers.
This post comes from Jason Steele at MSN Money partner Credit.com.
At a recent conference devoted to travel and credit card rewards, executives from Chase, Barclaycard, US Bank, Capital One and American Express were on hand to share their views on the future of credit cards — and there was a broad consensus on where the industry is going in the next few years.
Here are four of the biggest credit card trends on the horizon that emerged from the discussion:
1. Banks are leveraging Big Data. When you think about it, credit card issuers don't just collect money, they also collect massive amounts of data. They know who you are, how much money you make, and where you spend it.
The next step is for them to provide offers that are directly relevant to customers. Think of the way that your grocery store uses a loyalty program to track your spending and offer you coupons at checkout, but then imagine that model extended across multiple merchants. That is what is implied by Big Data.
2. Card issuers will capitalize on mobile devices. Closely tied to their push to capitalize on their data, banks see a future where they can present these offers to their customers in real time. By combining location information and spending data, banks can present customers offers that they can act on when away from their computers. The question then becomes, will cardholders value these offers, or find them to be a nuisance? Banks are betting that the more relevant they are, the less of an issue they will be.
Banks also hope to offer cardholders not just deals and offers, but valuable information to help them manage their spending. In a follow-up interview I had with Shane Holdaway, Managing Vice President of US Cards for Capital One, he described a future where his bank would offer information to consumers about how they spend, and how to spend smarter. In his vision, your credit card becomes a budgeting tool rather than just a method of payment and finance.
3. Banks will offer more products to the unbanked and underbanked. Do you know any adult who does not have a bank account? The FDIC Household Survey concluded that 8.2% of U.S. households are unbanked (meaning they don't have a checking or savings account), and more than 20% are underbanked (meaning they have a checking or savings account, but use nonbank means of credit, like payday loans) — and those numbers are growing. Sonali Chakravorti, vice president of membership benefits for American Express, stated that in partnering with Wal-Mart on the Bluebird prepaid card, American Express was looking at the next generation of customers who don't even want a bank account. While it remains to be seen, the next generation might find bank accounts as relevant as land lines, compact discs, and print publications.
4. Expect less junk mail, but more social media marketing. Matthew Massaua, senior director US Card for Barclaycard, made the point that credit card marketing is changing to meet the times. According to Massaua, social media marketing of credit cards is growing while direct-mail marketing is starting to decline. In fact, Barclaycard has led the way in integrating social media with its credit card products by introducing its innovative Ring card.
David Gold, general manager of partnerships for Chase Card Services, highlighted the importance of new media to the credit card industry. In fact, he noted that he wakes up every day worried about what will be written online about his products by bloggers who focus on how many cents they can get out of of each point. Others on the panel also admitted following blogs and other online outlets closely. So when you read a site like this, you can be sure that the banks are listening, too.
An evolution, not a revolution
Change is coming, but it won't be overwhelming. When asked about the pace of change in the industry during the next two years, four of the five panelists characterized the industry as going through more of an evolution than a revolution.
Only Bob Daly, senior vice president of US Bank, would hint at some major change his bank could introduce within the next two years.
It was interesting, and educational, to hear credit card industry executives share their thoughts on the future. By understanding where credit cards are going, you won't be surprised when you get there.

ECAC is a Regional Parent Technical Assistance Center in North Carolina serving families of children with disabilities, their teachers, and other professionals. Visit ECAC's website at http://www.ecac-parentcenter.org/Default.aspx to access free publications, training opportunities, and other resources, and be sure to check out their Ask ECAC blog (http://askecac.org/).
Sometimes we forget that, other than basic bodily functions, just about everything we do is learned behavior. In schools we learn obvious things like reading, writing, and math. At home we learn communication, self-help, and independent living skills, as well as how to function as part of a family group. Social skills can and should be taught everywhere that children can possibly find themselves.
It Takes a Village to Socialize a Child
Years ago, entire communities understood their responsibility to socialize children. By "socialize," we mean the process of teaching a child the written and unwritten rules of our society. These rules include things such as how to behave in various situations, how to communicate appropriately, and what to expect from others. Some rules are a little different for members of specific ethnic, religious, or cultural groups, while other rules are understood by almost all Americans. In this amazing, diverse country of ours, it's a wonder how so many people are able to figure out how to function with all of the different things to consider.
Social Learning Curve
The key to successfully socializing children is to not assume that they have figured it all out. There will be children of any age group, in a typical school or community gathering, who are at very different points on the social learning curve. Some will be able to easily meet expectations, and others will be clueless about the many factors that should be influencing how they behave. They may not know that, most of the time, children are expected to speak differently to adults than with other children. They may not understand the difference between "inside" and "outside" voices. They may not understand that personal space boundaries vary depending on people's relationships with each other. They may not realize that what counts as physical play in one setting can be seen as physically aggressive in another. They may not understand why certain questions or comments may insult, embarrass, or frighten someone else. They may not notice that the rules for male:female interaction change as they grow older.
Children and young people who violate our social rules may have difficulty making and keeping friends. They may also find themselves being disciplined and isolated when they unknowingly violate social rules. If the punishment happens without instruction as to what they should do differently in the future, many children will continue to behave in a way that is considered inappropriate. They could develop low self-esteem and possibly be frustrated to the point of either acting out or withdrawing from social interaction, because they can't figure out how to prevent the missteps from happening.
Social skills are learned, so teach!
Children need to be taught social skills just like they are taught other skills! If a child behaves inappropriately, the adult in the environment should always stop and consider whether the behavior in question could be the result of a social skill deficit. Always use these occasions as teachable moments, rather than presume malice and intentional disobedience. Help children understand the context of the situation and describe alternative ways to behave or interpret the behavior of others. Even if the child does "know better," it won't hurt to remind him or her of what doing "better" looks like.
Social skills are taught over time, so there is no quick fix that will instantly eliminate all behavior issues. Building those skills, however, is really the only way to give children and young adults the best chance for the high quality of life experience that we want for them.

Metropolitik: The endless campaign ends
Asking a political scientist to write about an election campaign before the results come in is like asking the theater critic to file a review of a play at intermission. But's it's also a good to sit down and ponder – independent of the final voting results — what this campaign has meant and how it has gone.
First, isn't everyone glad it is over? We've been told that the results depend on "a handful of undecided." I'll bet there are many more undecided than people who are still enjoying this campaign. The question is, what are the costs and benefits of having a campaign that has been going on full speed since January and, in practice, before that? Remember, Mitt Romney started to run against Barak Obama almost three years ago.
Some would say that long campaigns are useful because during them we learn so much more about the candidates and their positions. It's hard to make that case this time. I don't think even Mitt's most ardent supporter is any clearer on his positions on topics such as the environment, tax allowances, or abortion than when he started out.
We'll come back to the financial costs of the campaign, but for now let's just think about how the length of the campaign has imposed costs in terms of governing – hard choices deferred, compromise subordinated to getting a good sound bite to use in commercials. This applies to decisions about the government's budget and the economy, of course, but it also affects decision making on foreign policy. Other democracies get by with much shorter campaigns. It really isn't fundamental to democracy that the system works this way.
Second, it sure was expensive. The price tag of $6 to $7 billion is huge. I know it can be argued that we spend as much advertising automobiles or laundry detergent, but there's no way round the fact that this is a staggering amount of money. Raising that money takes a lot of time and requires paying a lot of attention to donors that could have been spent on voters.
In our politics, as in many other aspects of our society, the super rich have gained in importance and leverage. But there's plenty of blame to go around here.
President Obama destroyed the practice of presidential candidates relying on public funding in 2008 when he realized he could raise much more money than public funding would provide. The Supreme Court's infamous Citizens United decision in the name of free speech deliberately opened the floodgates to more spending by people or groups laughably said to be independent of the candidates. People such as Sheldon Adelson have bought themselves plenty of free speech this time around, much of it spent on negative attack ads. By the end of October, Adelson has spent over $54 million going after Obama and promoting Romney. That's a lot more "free speech" than most citizens can afford.
Third, the candidates, the parties, and the independent groups certainly continued to believe the experts' advice that negative advertising works. Yes, we all say we hate negative advertising, but research shows people remember it. It's not surprising therefore that we get so much of it. Here in Massachusetts we had the odd spectacle of GOP Sen. Scott Brown, even while describing himself as a fence-building moderate, running constant personal attacks on his opponent, Democrat Elizabeth Warren. A Brown victory would score another one for the argument that going negative and personalistic works.
Fourth, doesn't this campaign show yet again how pernicious the Electoral College is? We don't know yet if the undemocratic difference will re-emerge this year between the popular vote and the Electoral College vote, as we saw in 2000. We do know that all the attention of the presidential campaigns in the last few weeks has been concentrated on a handful of states.
Abolishing the Electoral College would force candidates to behave very differently. We'd have seen Romney campaigning in California and New York because there are a lot of potential Republican voters there. We'd have seen Obama campaigning in Texas because, although they're a minority in the state, there are plenty of potential Democratic voters there. In a USA worried about polarization, wouldn't this have been good for the country?
So was there anything positive to be learned or said about this campaign?
First, as with military campaigns, the commanders in the next will admire its tactical successes. Romney's success in moving to the right to win the Republican nomination in the winter and then back towards the center in the fall will be studied as textbook strategy for presidential candidates in the future. Democratic hopefuls will wonder if they can be as successful in tacking left and then back to the center in their party. Every presidential challenger will study and try to emulate Romney's triumph over Obama in the first debate. Social scientists may be skeptical that the first debate changed many votes, but it certainly changed the dynamics of the campaign. We'll have to see the results before we know if the president's emphasis on the identify-and-get-out-the-vote ground game paid off.
Second, perhaps more importantly for the country, all the flip-flopping and clever ads could not obscure the fact that underlying this election has been a serious issue. No, it's not just the economy. Yes, the economy matters enormously to people but it's is not clear that there are real as opposed to rhetorical differences between the two candidates on macroeconomic policy. The real underlying choice has been about the role of government in our society.
Is government an important tool for stabilizing the economy, advancing social justice, and protecting things that affect us all such as the environment? Or is government an impediment to growth and prosperity through excessive taxation and regulation? While Romney in the fall campaign backed away from the extremism of the Tea Party wing of the Republican Party, there's little doubt that a Romney administration would have different priorities in this regard than President Obama's.
Asked if they want lower taxes or government services, Americans in recent decades have refused to choose and demanded both. The difference has been met by borrowing, often from overseas. Many Americans finally sense that this cannot go on forever and the moment of choice is nearing. That's what makes this campaign so significant and so hard fought.
And finally, let's take a moment to think positive thoughts about the candidates and their supporters. At the presidential level, the candidates and their families have been put through a level of scrutiny that simply doesn't exist in the private sector. But I'm not just referring primarily of the presidential candidates here.
I'm thinking of people like my friend, Deb, running for State Assembly in New Hampshire standing in the cold and rain at the town dump every Saturday and Sunday instead of curling up on the sofa watching the Patriots. I'm thinking of the young volunteers on both sides who sleep on floors or airbeds while working away from home to help their candidates in crucial swing states. These are the people we should thank for making our democracy work — not the billionaires dropping millions on negative ads.

Qt (/ˈkjuːt/ "cute", or unofficially as Q-T cue-tee[6][7]) is a cross-platform application framework that is widely used for developing application software with a graphical user interface (GUI) (in which cases Qt is classified as a widget toolkit), and also used for developing non-GUI programs such as command-line tools and consoles for servers.
Qt uses standard C++ but makes extensive use of a special code generator (called the Meta Object Compiler, or moc) together with several macros to enrich the language. Qt can also be used in several other programming languages via language bindings. It runs on the major desktop platforms and some of the mobile platforms. It has extensive internationalization support. Non-GUI features include SQL database access, XML parsing, JSON parsing, thread management, network support, and a unified cross-platform application programming interface (API) for file handling.
Qt is available under a commercial license, GPL v3 and LGPL v2. All editions support many compilers, including the GCC C++ compiler and the Visual Studio suite.
Qt is developed by Digia, who owns the Qt trademark, and the Qt Project under open-source governance, involving individual developers and firms working to advance Qt. Before the launch of the Qt Project, it was produced by Nokia's Qt Development Frameworks division, which came into existence after Nokia's acquisition of the Norwegian company Trolltech, the original producer of Qt.[8] In February 2011, Nokia announced its decision to drop Symbian technologies and base their future smartphones on Microsoft platform instead. One month later, Nokia announced the sale of Qt's commercial licensing and professional services to Digia, with the immediate goal of taking Qt support to Android, iOS and Windows 8 platforms, and to continue focusing on desktop and embedded development, although Nokia was to remain the main development force behind the framework at that time.[9]

Haavard Nord and Eirik Chambe-Eng (the original developers of Qt and the CEO and President, respectively, of Trolltech) began development of "Qt" in 1991, three years before the company was incorporated as Quasar Technologies, then changed the name to Troll Tech and then to Trolltech.[1]
The toolkit was called Qt because the letter Q looked appealing in Haavard's Emacs typeface, and "t" was inspired by Xt, the X toolkit.[1]
The first two versions of Qt had only two flavors: Qt/X11 for Unix and Qt/Windows for Windows. The Windows platform was only available under a proprietary license, which meant free/open source applications written in Qt for X11 could not be ported to Windows without purchasing the proprietary edition.
At the end of 2001, Trolltech released Qt 3.0, which added support for Mac OS X. The Mac OS X support was available only in the proprietary license until June 2003, when Trolltech released Qt 3.2 with Mac OS X support available under the GPL.
In June 2005, Trolltech released Qt 4.0.[10]
Nokia acquired Trolltech ASA on 17 June 2008 and changed the name first to Qt Software, then to Qt Development Frameworks. Since then it focused on Qt development to turn it into the main development platform for its devices, including a port to the Symbian S60 platform. Version 1.0 of the Nokia Qt SDK was released on 23 June 2010.[11] The source code was made available over Gitorious, a community oriented git source code repository, to gather an even broader community that is not only using Qt but also helping to improve it.
At all times, Qt was available under a commercial license that allows developing proprietary applications with no restrictions on licensing. In addition, Qt has been gradually made available under several increasingly free licenses.
Until version 1.45, source code for Qt was released under the FreeQt license. This was viewed as not compliant with the open source principle by the Open Source Initiative and the free software definition by Free Software Foundation because, while the source was available, it did not allow the redistribution of modified versions.
Controversy erupted around 1998 when it became clear that the K Desktop Environment (now known as the KDE Software Compilation) was going to become one of the leading desktop environments for Linux. As it was based on Qt, many people in the free software movement worried that an essential piece of one of their major operating systems would be proprietary.
With the release of version 2.0 of the toolkit, the license was changed to the Q Public License (QPL), a free software license but one regarded by the Free Software Foundation as incompatible with the GPL. Compromises were sought between KDE and Trolltech whereby Qt would not be able to fall under a more restrictive license than the QPL, even if Trolltech was bought out or went bankrupt. This led to the creation of the KDE Free Qt foundation, which guarantees that Qt would fall under a BSD-style license should no free/open source version of Qt be released during 12 months.
In 2000, Qt/X11 2.2 was released under the GPL v2,[12] ending all controversy regarding GPL compatibility.
In 2002, members of the KDE on Cygwin project began porting the GPL licensed Qt/X11 code base to Windows.[13] This was in response to Trolltech's refusal to license Qt/Windows under the GPL on the grounds that Windows was not a free/open source software platform.[14][15] The project achieved reasonable success although it never reached production quality.
This was resolved when Trolltech released Qt/Windows 4 under the GPL in June 2005. Qt 4 now supports the same set of platforms in the free software/open source editions as in the proprietary edition, so it is now possible to create GPL-licensed free/open source applications using Qt on all supported platforms. The GPL v3 with special exception[16] was later added as an added licensing option. The GPL exception allows the final application to be licensed under various GPL-incompatible free software/open source licenses such as the Mozilla Public License 1.1.
On 14 January 2009, Qt version 4.5 added another option, the LGPL,[17] which should make Qt even more attractive for non-GPL open source projects and for closed applications.[18]
In March 2011, Nokia sold the commercial licensing part of Qt to Digia creating Qt Commercial.
Qt works on the following platforms:
- Android – Qt for Android,[19] formerly known as Necessitas.[20]

- Sailfish OS – Qt for Sailfish OS.
- VxWorks – Qt for VxWorks.[27]
- Wayland – Qt for Wayland.[28] Qt applications can switch between graphical backends like X and Wayland at load time with the -platform command line option.[29][30] This allows a seamless transition of Qt applications from X11 to Wayland.
- Windows – Qt for Microsoft Windows XP, Vista, 7,[31] 8
- Windows CE – Qt for Windows CE 6 and Windows Embedded Compact 7.[32]
- Windows RT – Support for WinRT-based Windows 8 apps and Windows Phone 8[33]

- Symbian – Qt for the Symbian platform.[44][45][46][47][48][49] Qt replaced Nokia's Avkon as the supported UI SDK for developing Symbian applications.[50]
- Windows Mobile – Qt for Windows CE 5.0 and Windows Mobile.[51]
There are two editions of Qt available, the Qt Enterprise Edition (additional functionality and libraries included, e.g. Charts and Data Visualization[52]), a commercial edition sold by Digia, and the Open Source edition.
Qt is available under the following copyright licenses:[53] GNU LGPL[4] (2.1 version with Qt special exception), GNU GPL[54] 3.0 version, and the Commercial Developer License[5]

Qt 5[edit]
Qt 5 was officially released on 19 December 2012. This new version marked a major change in the platform, with hardware-accelerated graphics, QML and JavaScript playing a major role. The traditional C++-only QWidgets continued to be supported, but did not benefit from the performance improvements available through the new architecture.[55] Qt5 brings significant improvements to the speed and ease of developing user interfaces.[56]
Framework development of Qt 5 moved to open governance, taking place at qt-project.org. It is now possible for developers outside Digia to submit patches and have them reviewed.[57]

Current version (5.2)
Qt 5.2 provides several improvements, including a new Scene graph renderer that has much better performance for drawing vector objects by using an OpenGL backend and minimizing GPU overdraws. Benchmarks of development versions shows significant improvements in speed and a visible decrease in CPU usage, because of the better usage of GPU rendering. The vision is to have game-like performance for the drawing canvas and QML renderer.[62] Additionally, Qt 5.2 introduces new functionalities for KDE Frameworks 5 and many other improvements.[63]
Software architecture[edit]
Qt, when it was first released, relied on a few key concepts:
- Complete abstraction of the GUI – When first released, Qt used its own paint engine and controls, emulating the look of the different platforms it runs on when it drew its widgets. This made the porting work easier because very few classes in Qt depended really on the target platform; however, this occasionally led to slight discrepancies where that emulation was imperfect.
- Recent versions of Qt use the native style APIs of the different platforms, on platforms that have a native widget set, to query metrics and draw most controls, and do not suffer from such issues as much.[64]
- On some platforms (such as MeeGo and KDE) Qt is the native API.
- Some other portable graphical toolkits have made different design decisions; for example, wxWidgets uses the toolkits of the target platform for its implementations.
- Signals and slots - a language construct introduced in Qt for communication between objects[65] which makes it easy to implement the Observer pattern while avoiding boilerplate code. The concept is that GUI widgets can send signals containing event information which can be received by other controls using special functions known as slots.
- Metaobject compiler - The metaobject compiler, termed moc, is a tool that is run on the sources of a Qt program. It interprets certain macros from the C++ code as annotations, and uses them to generate added C++ code with Meta Information about the classes used in the program. This meta information is used by Qt to provide programming features not available natively in C++: signals and slots, introspection and asynchronous function calls.
Starting with Qt 4.0 the framework was split into individual modules.[66][67] With Qt 5.0 the architecture was modularized even further.[68][69] Qt is now split into essential and add-on modules.[70]
Qt Essentials[edit]
- Qt Core The only required Qt module, containing non-graphical classes used by other modules
- Qt GUI The central gui module. In Qt 5 this module now depends on OpenGL, but no longer contains any widget classes.
- Qt Widgets Contains classes for classic widget based GUI applications and the QSceneGraph classes. Was split off from QtGui in Qt5.
- Qt QML Module for QML and JavaScript languages.
- Qt Quick The module for GUI application written using QML2.
- Qt Quick Controls Widget like controls for Qt Quick
- Qt Quick Layouts Layout for arranging items in Qt Quick
- Qt Network Network abstraction layer. Complete with TCP, UDP, HTTP, SSL and since Qt 5.3 SPDY support.
- Qt Multimedia Classes for audio, video, radio and camera functionality.
- Qt Multimedia Widgets The widgets from Qt Multimedia.
- Qt SQL Contains classes for database integration using SQL.
- Qt WebKit Qt's WebKit implementation and API.
- Qt WebKit Widgets The widget API for Qt WebKit
- Qt Test Classes for unit testing Qt applications and libraries.
Qt Add-Ons[edit]
- Active Qt Classes for applications which use ActiveX.
- Qt Bluetooth Classes accessing Bluetooth hardware.
- Qt D-Bus Classes for IPC using the D-Bus protocol.
- Qt OpenGL Legacy module containing the OpenGL classes from Qt4. In Qt5 the similar functionality in Qt GUI is recommended.
- Qt Script Legacy module for scripting Qt application using ECMAScript/JavaScript. In Qt5, using similar classes in Qt QML is recommended.
- Qt Creator, a cross-platform IDE for C++ and QML. Qt Designer's GUI layout/design functionality is integrated into this relatively new IDE, although Qt Designer can still be called as a standalone tool.
- qmake, a tool that automates the generation of Makefiles for development project across different platforms
Programming language bindings[edit]
Qt has a range of bindings for various languages,[71] which implement some or all of its feature set.

"The invitation is perfect, simple but beautiful. We were able to add Hebrew text for our son's name which was a big plus. The colour is vibrant and the paper quality is excellent. Totally satisfied with the product. As well, customer service were wonderful! Shipping was super fast. All in all, an amazing experience with this company."
"I got the upgraded thick paper and rounded edges. Great paper quality and design. Tiny Prints mailed the invitations as well. They exceeded my expectations in every aspect! Guests received invitations 5 days earlier than promised by TP. Thanks!"
"I thought I was taking a chance ordering on line but I was wrong. I would use this company again. There were no mistakes. We picked our choice of font and played around with the wording. I ordered the thicker paper for our one page invitation and the firmness was just what I was looking for. My order came early and I got feedback from friends on how professional the cards looked. I had to contact customer service with a question and spoke to someone right away. She was very knowledgeable about the products and very polite."
"Exactly what we were looking for in an invitation. Just as nice as anything we would have done in person at an invitation store custom made. Quality of product was excellent and surpassed our expectations. Came exactly on time and appreciated the service from the team of designers at Tiny Prints. They offered colour suggestions for the font to be adjusted and gave me the options to review colour digital versions free of charge. We are over the moon about what arrived and will definitely be our go to place for future events. The cost was also so reasonable for all the items we purchased. Could not have been any easier and received a beautiful invitation we are proud to use for our event."
"I was a little hesitant ordering online, wondering if the quality of the product could be as good as it looked on my computer. In particular I was worried what the paper would feel like. I'm happy to report that the card has a nice, solid feel to it. Though the cards are smaller than traditional invites, they still look substantial. (In other words, they look good!) I love the stripes on the back side, which makes the cards stand out from more "traditional" designs. I was also very happy with the customer service."

German Unification wars are very interesting (Prussian uniforms are great^^), I guess its my favourite time period too, but only until World War 1 ends.
i'd love to live in medevial times, but the disease would be pretty sucky to live with.
ancient greece maybe, there's plenty of entertainment........although most of that involves either sweaty nude men running around or slaves being actually murdered on stage.
i couldnt survive at a point when you had to be strong to survive, like the stone age....i'd probably get shot if i lived during any time of war...........
screw it, i love history, i think it'd be great to time-travel for a couple of days at most, but i'm happy with living in the 21st century, i don't wanna be cannon fodder or plague food.
I would say something like the late 1700s or the early 1800s because of Jane Austen. But I don't think I want to because I'm so incredibly grateful for all of the rights the we have currently. I mean African Americans and women are just as free as white men. We live in a time where everything is at our fingertips and we're given a chance- you know? The only thing I don't love about right now is how much we have at our fingertips. I mean even literally- people are texting all of the time and can be on the internet constantly with smart phones. I'm not saying I'm not an offender because I've spent far longer than my share at my desktop. But I just wish we lived in a time where technology wasn't quite as prominent. Maybe the mid- 1980s or early 1990s.
I wouldn't want to live in any time period other than to day, wait for it, UNLESS IT WAS RULED BY THE MONGOLS!!!!!!
I would have loved to live during the Sixties. ^^ I liked that era pretty much. It was a time of revolutions [Social, Cultural, Feminism, Civil rights, Gay Rights etc]. To be a part of something and to stand for the truth...Defy Conservatism. It's pretty relevant even now but it began then... A sort of spark whose fire burns even now. I would have liked to witness, Martin Luther's "I have a dream" speech, dance to the Beatles and wear Bell Bottoms [Currently Passe :P]
Fav time period: American Civil War to the height of the Cold War (military nut)
Time period I'd like to live in: Now (I lurves mah internet)
either 1930-1950
or classical Rome, shortly after the fall of the republic
