Second Life: Chrome Embedded Framework Update

Linden Lab is apparently making lots of headway on putting CEF support in the Second Life™ Viewer. They will have a project viewer out ‘real soon’. The Lab will need someone in the Linux community to step up and move that new code into the Linux viewer. If not, the Linden Linux viewer will go way out of date.

I think this will be an awesome change in the viewer. WebKit is used now and it is a bit of an orphan.

This will allow developers to use more HTML5 to develop panels in the viewer. It will also affect many parts of the viewer. There are also possibilities for what can be done server side.

WebKit and CEF are about displaying media in web pages and web pages. Essentially, many panels in the viewer are dynamic web pages fed by information from the server and viewer. Think the search panel.

I am curious how much work it is going to be for Third Party Developers to change their viewers over. Viewers like Firestorm and Black Dragon have custom floating panels I think will be affected. But, I don’t do UI development for viewers so, I don’t know modular things are or aren’t. We’ll find out.

Third party dev’s have known this change is coming for some time. They may be well ahead of the curve. Some may have improvements hidden away waiting for the Lab to open the starting gate. I think my oldest article that mentions CEF is a 2010 article. (reference: Media Plugin Webkit Fail)

  1. The only places the Viewer uses webmedia in the UI i can remember right now are: Login Screen, First ever login loadingscreen help video and possibly the F1 help (which i killed in my Viewer anyway). The internal webbrowsers obviously not counted as these are only used if you actually open them or select to open a link in the internal browser, same for media on a prim, they are counted as inworld content and don’t really belong to the UI. So i don’t think it will be a big change, not even for Firestorm, should be just: Webkit out, Chrome Embedded Framework in, a few compile fixes here and there, that’s it, happy HTML5 yay!

      • I can’t believe that it will be “Webkit out, Chrome Embedded Framework in, a few compile fixes here and there, ” – – – it’s taken the Lab more than a year to get to here and they’ve been promising a beat release for 9 months – they brought in a specialist coder to work on it.
        I’m assuming that any viewer will be using CEF for the inworld media on a prim too.

        • I think the biggest reason for the Lab to go to CEF is MOAP. I understand MOAP is broken on the Apple side. CEF is the fix.

  2. It is *extremely* *shocking* that LL is using Linux and GNU/GPL software and tool chains for their own servers, saving millions of dollars over the past 11 years when compared with what they would need to buy from proprietary software companies to replace the Open Source software, and that they are not ready to hire a single Linden over a month or so to ‘port’ CEF to their Linux viewer…
    And I used quotes around ‘port’ because, ironically, CEF has originally been developed under Linux and a Linux CEF pre-built distribution does exist, so I’m kind of surprised that LL can’t manage to use that for their viewer (are they SO *incompetent*) ?

    Of course, I’d have volunteered to help them, but they don’t accept my contributions since I refuse to give them (irrelevant and excessive for the purpose) private information (such as a snail mail address and phone number: like if they would need to phone me or send me a happy birthday card !)… Too bad for them…

    • ‘Incompetence’ isn’t the issue. As they have said, the economic justification for expending limited resources just isn’t there.

      To avoid copyright and liability issues they have to be able to prove where code came from. With the number of haters in the world someone would steal code, deliberately poke it into the Lab’s code claiming it was legitimately owned, and then disappear when the crap splatters and it is time to pay the suit. No prudent attorney is going to allow code without a RL source into the system.

      That you want to keep your privacy is understandable and you are free to do so. But, your claims of incompetence because they have made a prudent decision is unjust.

      • Please, re-read my message. There are three paragraphs in it, for a purpose…

        In the first paragraph, I explain why LL’s claim for limited resource to embedded CEF in the Linux viewer is right out scandalous when so much resource (money, programing, etc) has been saved already by the use of GNU/Linux on their own server. When a physical or moral person (here, the Open Source community) helps you, the least you can do is to redeem it !

        The second paragraph explains how surprising no Linden seems “able” to embed CEF in LL’s viewer… I *doubt* very much this claim, thus why I propose a (purposefully and ironically) upsetting alternative: incompetency ? (notice the question mark in my first message).

        The third paragraph explains that I simply will not be able to help LL and reply to their plea for help, because of their own bureaucratic (and illegal, in France & Europe) claims for private data in their license agreement.

        • I read your first paragraph. I understand the saving involved. But, if you have $2,000 and buy a $3,000 car because you can get it on sale for $2k and save $1k, you still have $0 left.

          You seem to feel they owe Linux something for using open source. If using open source incurred a debt, it wouldn’t be free.

          The Lindens are ’embedding’ CEF in the Windows and Mac versions. They are choosing not to work on the Linux version. That choice does not mean they have no one that could do it. I still don’t see where it is a competency issue.

          And I explained why in a litigious world they will require a source of material they plan to include in their products and be held responsible for.

          What law in France makes it legal to request proof of copyright ownership before publishing it?

  3. I can’t wait for this. The main reason being that due to deprecated stuff on the mac, the old Webkit can’t play flash videos, this has lead to not live streaming video on a prim for mac users. I used to run an experience that used HUD based Cut scenes using youtube videos which ended up breaking on Mac.

    I was also originally interested in using the media plugin to create interactive web based puzzles and stuff, but the webkit was never robust enough with the emerging HTML5 and CSS3 technologies. So all the potential of web a prim quickly fell flat.

    Looking forward to taking the Beta Viewer for a spin.

      • Not just me, wouldn’t this also open the doors for Linden Lab to do more with their own web based SL pages such as Profiles and SLfeed?

  4. (posting my reply to Nalate as a new message, because a third follow-up would reduce the text width to a single word…)

    Yes, when you are using *for free* something someone provides you with, you (at least *morally*) owe them something (like providing help for free as well latter)… That’s at least how I conceive things.
    Without GNU/Linux SL (and thus, LL itself) won’t have existed in the first place. LL’s officials should *think* about that, just once…
    Also pretending that, because their Linux viewer is only used by a small percentage of their user base, these users do not deserve their support is a right out an insult to them, a slap in their face even.
    There is not JUST money in life, at least not in my dictionary… and the cost of such a modest development as CEF embedding (again, the work is already 90% done by CEF developers who provide a pre-built library) is worth a man-month of work (at worst), i.e. a very small amount of money when compared with what LL has already been able to save thanks to GNU/Linux (whose developers – or at least some of them – are also part of their Linux user base, by the way).

    As for the license agreement, please see the sl-devel (AKA opensource-dev) mailing list archive: I explained that in details couple of times there and don’t want to spam your blog with it.

    • I am not sure why you think those contributing free code want to place a debt on those using it. If you feel a moral obligation, isn’t that your thing?

      I am also not sure how you predict with any certainly what would have happened without Linux. Human society seems to find a way to do whatever it is it wants to do. So, without Linux history indicates LL would likely have used something else to achieve a similar result. All “what if’s” are speculative and not really proof.

      As to how many time people at LL have thought of and appreciated Linux no one has anyway to know. Isn’t you statement presupposing facts not in evidence?

      Why do you think anyone is pretending someone doesn’t deserve the Lab’s support? Don’t the people of Sierra Leon deserve your financial support? What about the poor of Nigeria? Does everyone have to provide their time and effort to those that deserve it?

      While cost may not be a consideration in your book, LL has financial responsibilities to the investors. If you borrow money, would you ignore your financial responsibilities to the lender?

      As you refer me to the post in the mailing list on the legality of requiring proof of ownership, I’ll take it there is no law and you have a long opinion arguing your personal preferences.

      • ‘I am also not sure how you predict with any certainly what would have happened without Linux.’

        Just look at the stats… How many servers are running Linux on Internet, for a start ?… How many are running Apache as their web server and MySQL as their database server ?… Think of how much money it would cost to ISPs and Internet companies, if they were to pay big bucks to Micro$oft & Co instead of using GNU/Linux and Open Source applications, and just deduce how far Internet would be widespread today, with the cost difference taken into account… LL is no different. Their servers are running Open Source software, mostly, and they saved a lot of money *thanks* to GNU/Linux and the very people who are among their Linux users… YES, LL does deserve a minimum of repayment for that !

        ‘As you refer me to the post in the mailing list on the legality of requiring proof of ownership, I’ll take it there is no law and you have a long opinion arguing your personal preferences.’

        You can’t be wronger… Since you are insisting, here you go. See: in Article 6, para 3
        ‘Processing may be performed only on personal data that meet the
        following conditions:
        (3) they shall be adequate, relevant and not excessive in relation to
        the purpose for which they are obtained and their further processing.’

        Requiring snail mail and phone number is excessive for the purpose (they only need my real name and signature), inadequate (I moved 5 times already: my address changes often, too often for my own taste) and irrelevant (my phone number won’t be of any use since I can’t understand a word of English spoken by an American and can’t either speak properly English).

  5. I think opensource software can be use in commercial application.There is no attachement to moral obligation explicitly mention in FSF. Only restriction depends on the liscence of the particular opensource project is under. The use of the program for any purpose is part of the Open Source Definition. So its perfecly legitimate to LL to choose and pick what they use from open source. The part that they use must respect the opens source intent of its creators and be open for other to reuse as they see fit .

    As far as I know In the case of SL that portion give birth to third party viewer and to opensim project. That is the only I owe you they have under open obligations.

    Henri work is greatly appreciate by many including linux users like me . In my case I still can ride along in second life with my old machine mainly because of his dedication to the task. He was the first to bring mesh to third party viewing window and opened the coding door to anyone interested in achiving same provided his open work was recognised. Henri is an incredible asset to the SL community and desirves respect and recognition for his work. That SL disregard his qualitfication is an error in my humble opinion.

    • Henri is talented and I and many people I know appreciate his talent. But, when it comes to his understanding the Lab’s licensing liabilities he is a bit of a curmudgeon. He’s entitled…

      • “he is a bit of a curmudgeon.”

        Many thanks for the insult…

        Note that this may also be a cultural trait: in France, we consider money as a mere commodity (a mere way to visualize and ease services exchanges); unlike some cultures, we never raised the money to the status of a ‘God’ (and in France, there are as many atheists as there are believers in any god, so the universality of such a status is totally out of question for any concept anyway 😛 ).

        The behaviour of the Lab is nonetheless best described as ‘greedy’, in French view… Yes, moral and money are two things that are tightly linked in my (and probably a overwhelming majority of French citizens’) view… Call us idealists if you wish, but I’d call you greedy capitalists in return…

        • You could be right… for a curmudgeon and all… 😛

          And I can see where a socialist society would see us as greedy capitalists.

Introducing MBA Participant, Xiaoqin Wang

Hi! My Chinese name is Xiaoqin Wang, but my English name is Queena & I am studying the MBA at Westminster Business School. I’m from China, Beijing and have been working there for more than 10 years. Immediately after my Bachelor’s degree I worked for six years with the Chinese Government Ministry of Construction as Assistant of the General Manager. After that I was inspired by my parents to set up my own business, a Real Estate Agency. Because of the financial crisis, business got slower and so I had to find some back-ups. That’s when I set up my second business – the entertainment business ‘Brilliant Art’. My Brother-in-Law is an acrobatic star in China so I thought, why don’t I set up my business to help their success? So far I have contracts with countries in the Middle East, and we also just signed new contracts with Portugal and Turkey. In fact, my team just finished a performance in Dubai and they arrived back in Beijing last night – I’m so happy with them! We create opportunities for a kind of cultural exchange – I am very passionate about this.

With entertainment company, Brilliant Arts

Why did you choose to study the Westminster MBA?

There are many reasons why I chose this MBA!

  1. My entertainment company is continuing to expand and that’s one of the main reasons why I chose to study my MBA. It’s a very good platform to strengthen my skills and to help me to think out of the box and build new relationships with people from different countries. Actually, the Westminster MBA has really surprised me because my classmates are all from different countries. That’s one of the things I really like. It’s also a small group and because everyone has strong work experience and background they are really helpful – we all share our stories and my classmates are very interested in my business as well.
  2. As a Business Developer, I am very much an entrepreneur. I have already specialised in management and so I was looking for something more general that would help me to develop across all areas such as marketing, finance, economics, communications etc. The MBA also helps you to develop your social network, so that’s very practical for me and helps me to keep working on all aspects of my business and my future career. The MBA is different to other programmes because it is broad and really builds you as a round person. This MBA also helps you learn about the management of risk, which is very important for an entrepreneur.
  3. I wanted to be in the centre of London and Westminster Business School couldn’t be more central.
  4. My work experience supports me to fit this course well.
  5. One of the other key considerations was thinking about what kind of activities would be available to me – Westminster has the MBA Tuesday Club, alumni talks and Westminster is accredited by AMBA.
  6. Finally, in China the employers and people do care about your study background and as an MBA is a very hard subject it’s a more persuasive qualification. The people think you are more skilled, more experienced and more trustworthy. It will be more helpful for expanding my business.

QueenaIn your opinion, what are the three top personal qualities needed to study an MBA?

  1. Self discipline – if you study the MBA full-time, it’s an intensive one year course. You have high amounts of reading and assignments and so you need to be disciplined.
  2. Motivation – you need to know why you are studying the MBA. You have the big picture because the MBA is designed to develop executive management skills but you need to know your purpose in greater detail. It’s helpful to have a dream or ultimate goal in mind to support you throughout the year and to help you get through the course.
  3. You have to be capable of adapting to new environments, new methodologies and visions, open to stretching your original culture/behavior and happy to develop a new style. The MBA is a melting pot and if you are too rigid in your outlook you will run into difficulties!

What has been your biggest challenge so far?

I’m not very good at statistics/maths but they are training us to be skilled in this area. This part is a bit challenging for me, but the biggest problem is the time problem! It’s a very busy schedule!

What have you enjoyed the most?

The teaching team is really, really professional. They are very helpful and they give you not only the academic study support but help you on a more personal level by giving us mentoring. I think I’m very, very impressed with the teaching within this team. Again, I’m very pleased to choose London as the location for my further study. I particularly enjoy walking in London in the mornings and evenings – it’s like exercise and helps me to clear my mind – it helps me to reflect on what I’m doing today and to realise what needs improving.

I also like the teaching of business ethics on the MBA. I am surprised about this – I never imagined an MBA would teach you this, but Westminster does. The teaching team give us some small activities to train us to trust our team members and potential stakeholders. For entrepreneurs or small businesses who want to expand, this is very important for long term strategy.

Can you tell us about your experiences with the MBA mentoring scheme?

As part of the Westminster MBA you also have a Mentor. A Mentor gets to know your background and they find out what difficulties you are facing and what your future plans are. I have been working with my Mentor, Michelle, who has helped me to separate my long and short term plan into five stages. We also have a personal diary and we can use this to reflect on our studies or personal issues. Our Mentors take a look and reply almost immediately with helpful ideas.

I think Mentoring is important because although some people are very extrovert, my personality is a bit introvert. I can be a bit less talkative perhaps in class than my other team mates, but everyone has different pressures and challenges so it’s good to have a Mentor to go to.

What has been your most special moment in the UK?

Well, after being here only four months I received an invitation (because of my business) from the Chamber of Commerce to attend a business networking event at parliament! I met some very experienced and high level people who were very helpful.

What are your plans post-MBA?

Whilst my business is working well I’m also very enthusiastic about developments in technology. It’s maybe a little bit of a day dream but I’m very passionate about technology in the space industry. I would love to be involved in this field within innovation. We learnt about Maslow’s motivation hierarchy in class – at the moment I would say I’m at the self-esteem level, but the top level is innovation, – so that’s what I want to challenge myself to reach. I also think people have a very short life and so ultimately I want to show my value and do good in society.

With fellow MBA Participants and new Dean of Westminster Business School, Professor Malcolm Kirkup

How would you sum up how you feel about your Westminster experience?

Grateful – I feel grateful – for the people and their trust and help and support. I’m from another country and as a foreign person here I don’t have any family members with me. Sometimes you can feel a bit homesick, but I really treat this place as my home, and now the tutors here are like my family members.

Thank you to Queena for this interview! If you would like to find out more about the Westminster MBA please visit our website, or meet us in person, or online at our:

Building Your Internship Story

We all strive and push for internships, work experience, and a chance to be in a professional environment. The internship experience allows for a supplemental story to tell about yourself. It can answer what you accomplished, what you learned, what impact did you have, and what are your key takeaways? Answers to these questions are critical when explaining your internship story during future interviews. Many times this can be extremely difficult given the 1000s of assignments and tasks completed during your summer. Narrowing down your story to a 90-second pitch can seem impossible. I was faced with this challenge early on in my internship and have been able to develop a strategy to help build my overall story and find a theme to my experience.

Note taking and reflection have become an essential element to constructing my story. All it takes is about 15 minutes at the end of each week. During this time, think back to the original questions: what did I accomplish, what did I learn, what impact did I have, and what are my key takeaways? The ability to summarize these answers each week leave you with 10 chapters of your story by the end of your internship. Reading back through your answers will often reveal a common theme and allow for your most impactful events to stand out, leaving a clear outline of a story to present. Challenging yourself to take this action will allow for personal and professional growth. As you move through the rest of your internship, set time aside for reflection and it will carry your story a long way.

« Randi Weingarten: Donald Trump's Rhetoric Has Contaminated Schools | Main | Many GOP K-12 Policy Vets Cool to Idea of Working for Donald Trump »

Survey: Linda Darling-Hammond, Ben Carson Most Likely Ed. Secretary Picks

Education researcher Linda Darling-Hammond and former Republican presidential hopeful Ben Carson are the most likely picks to be U.S. Secretary of Education for White House candidates Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump, respectively, according to an "Education Insiders" survey by Whiteboard Advisors released Monday. And who's second on the list for Clinton? American Federation of Teachers President Randi Weingarten, say these insiders.

The survey of roughly 50 to 75 current and former White House and U.S. Department of Education leaders, current and former congressional staff members, state education officials, and think tank leaders also found that a slight majority of them believe that over the next two years, more states will stop participating in two consortia (PARCC and Smarter Balanced) that were originally funded by Washington and create tests aligned to the Common Core State Standards. electionslug_2016_126x126.jpg

And these "insiders" are generally pessimistic about the extent to which both the media and presidential politics will focus on education, although there's some belief that higher education could be an exception.

"I'm not sure if K-12 will get much attention because the recent reauthorization of ESEA [Elementary and Secondary Education Act) probably means that the next president won't have an opportunity to influence K-12 education (at least not legislatively) unless he or she gets a second term," according to one respondent, none of whom were quoted by name.

Let's go back to the favorites for the next secretary of education. The survey asked respondents for the most likely picks for Clinton and Trump. Here's what they came back with:

Darling-Hammond is the president of the Learning Policy Institute (launched last year) and a professor emeritus at the Stanford University graduate school of education. She's got a long track record in K-12 policy work—her activities range from significantly influencing California's shift to a new accountability system, to serving as an adviser to the Smarter Balanced testing consortium that creates exams aligned to the Common Core State Standards. She helped to start two charter schools through Stanford, but in 2010 the elementary school's charter was not renewed, and it shut down—the high school is still operating. And she's pushed for less testing in American schools

Weingarten has been an outspoken advocate for Clinton. The AFT acted quickly to endorse the former secretary of state in the Democratic primary last year. By contrast, in 2008, the union waited until the general election to endorse President Barack Obama, who beat Clinton for the Democratic nomination that year.

Chris Edley is president of the Opportunity Institute and the third-most-likely education secretary under Clinton, according to the survey. A former dean of the law school at the University of California, Berkeley, Edley's work at the institute "promotes social mobility and equity by improving outcomes from early childhood through early career." The institute has a special focus on California.

Current Secretary of Education John B. King Jr. also got a few nods to stay on, a possibility he's declined to address directly. And then there are the three potential candidates with direct and current links to higher education:

• Freeman A. Hrabowski III, the president of the University of Maryland, Baltimore County who's chaired President Barack Obama's Advisory Commission on Educational Excellence for African Americans.

• Bob Shireman, a senior fellow at the Century Foundation who focuses on for-profit college accountability and quality assurance in higher education—Shireman's worked in both the Bill Clinton and Obama administrations

• Donna Shalala served as the president of the University of Miami from 2001 to 2015 after serving in the Clinton administration.

The top two candidates named for Clinton—Darling-Hammond and Weingarten—obviously focus on K-12 and not higher education.

Ben Carson, Chris Christie ... and Ted Nugent

As for Trump's potential pick to lead the Education Department, the real estate executive mentioned in March that Carson would be "very involved in education" in a Trump administration. Trump stopped short of naming Carson, a retired pediatric neurosurgeon, his education-secretary-in-waiting, but that remark might be what led the Whiteboard insiders to put Carson at the top of the heap for Trump.

Carson is a fan of home schooling. And he's called for a reconsideration of the extent to which schools rely on local property taxes, although his exact position on the matter has been unclear.

Andreas Schleicher is the director for education and skills at the Organization of Economic Cooperation and Development, which administers PISA. He's been critical of the extent to which recent national efforts to close achievement gaps and raise proficiency rates have actually helped U.S. students match their peers in academic achievement and readiness for life after high school. You might recall that Trump has bashed American students' performance on international exams.

Then there's Tony Bennett, the former Florida and Indiana superintendent. In his two jobs leading state education agencies, he was a big fan of charter schools and A-F accountability. But he left his Florida job in 2013 after the Associated Press found that while serving as the Indiana chief, before he was defeated in a re-election bid in 2012, Bennett altered the grade of an Indianapolis charter school founded by a donor to his campaign.

The others to get nods as potential education secretaries include New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, a Republican and Trump campaign surrogate who thinks teachers' unions deserve to get slugged; former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, perhaps most prominent in K-12 policy circles recently for doing a flip-flop on common core; Ted Nugent (yes, the rock star of "Cat Scratch Fever" and "Stranglehold" fame); and Omarosa, a contestant on "The Apprentice," Trump's former reality show.

Mamma Mia Soundtrack

One of my favorite movie soundtracks is the Mamma Mia movies. Especially, Mamma Mia, Here We Go Again! Not only is the music good, but the movies are good as well. Two of my favorite songs from the soundtrack is “Mamma Mia” and “Waterloo.” These songs are in both the first and second movies. There are some new songs in the second movie that, in my opinion, are a lot better than the first. Overall, I think the music in the second movie was better.

Under Construction: The Adolescent Brain

Posted by Scott Allenby

I cannot recall a moment over the past five years when there has not been the background noise of construction on Proctor’s campus. The beeping of excavators in reverse, air compressors turning on and off as nail guns adhere new siding to buildings, dump trucks driving in and out of campus. This constant state of construction, while inconvenient at times, illustrates our community’s deep belief in our mission and willingness to invest in Proctor’s future through The Campaign for Proctor. However, visits to classes this week reminded us it is not just our campus that is under constant construction, but our students brains are works in progress as well.

This article from the American College of Pediatrics sites a 400 year old passage from Shakespeare’s The Winter’s Tale as evidence the challenges facing adolescents and the teenage brain are not unique to this generation of teens.  “I would there were no age between ten and three and twenty… For there is nothing in the between but getting wenches with child, wronging the ancientry, stealing, fighting.” (The Winter’s Tale, Act III, Sc. iii) Perhaps we should borrow some of the caution tape from around campus and add it as a mandatory accessory in our student dress code to remind us our students are under construction.

So much of the research conducted on the plasticity of the adolescent brain focuses on the associated dangers of mixing in alcohol, sexual activity, and technology with a developing brain. And, yes, we should all be acutely aware of the fragility of brain development related to these factors, but we also believe the malleability of our students’ brains afford endless opportunities for creative thinking. As Patty and Buz share with their students in the video above, we must evolve from a position of fear and what could go wrong to a position of opportunity and what could be.

As a species, we are problem solvers. We pursue answers. We want to identify solutions and navigate toward them. We crave the peace that comes with answers. And yet we have all experienced, repeatedly, moments in our life when we believe we have arrived at our destination, our to-do list is complete and our inbox is nearly empty, only to be blindsided by another seemingly insurmountable challenge to overcome. World History students had one of those moments in Kyle's class this week when he handed back heavily revised papers. His message was simple: the process of revision is powerful, embrace the construction necessary to improve. Don't be satisfied with 'good enough'.

blog 5

The beauty of the life we have the privilege of living lies in the never-ending problems available for us to troubleshoot. We must develop a resiliency in our community that leans into the interminable complications of life rather than running from them. Knowing we have the personal tools to navigate the unknown is almost as important as knowing we are each under construction. We must teach our students the skills they need to navigate life, while reminding them it is ok to be under construction, for it is through this construction we become better versions of ourselves as both individuals and a community.

The Destructive Message(s) of Donald Trump

The Destructive Message(s) of Donald Trump

As Donald Trump marches towards the GOP nomination, it’s worth pointing out two stories from this past week about what the next president can do as the foreign policy leader of the nation. All these as he gears towards the Republican GOP nomination. His divisive rhetoric is indeed tearing an already tense nation apart.

Donald Trump’s campaign cancelled a planned Chicago rally on Friday night after chaos and clashes between protesters and attendees overtook the event.

“Mr. Trump just arrived in Chicago and after meeting with law enforcement has determined that for the safety of all of the tens of thousands of people that have gathered in and around the arena, tonight’s rally will be postponed to another date,” the Republican’s campaign said in a statement. “Thank you very much for your attendance and please go in peace.”
The explosive scene at the University of Illinois in Chicago was broadcast live across cable networks and come amid escalating confrontations between protesters and attendees at Trump rallies this week. More than 10,000 people had signed up on a Facebook page to protest Trump in Chicago by Thursday evening.
Indeed, throngs of protesters had filled the arena, some wearing Black Lives Matter shirts and others chanting support for Democratic candidate Bernie Sanders, according to reporters on the scene. Trump supporters chanted back “USA! USA! USA!”

Putting things more starkly: Under current precedent, the commander in chief can give a secret order to kill an American citizen with a drone strike without charges or trial.

Should Donald Trump have that power?…

Before moving into a new house, parents of small children engage in child-proofing. Before leaving the White House, Obama should engage in tyrant-proofing. For eight years, he has evinced a high opinion of his own ability to exercise power morally, even in situations where Senator Obama thought that the president should be restrained. At this point, better to flatter his ego than to resist it. You’ll be gone soon, Mr. President, and for all our disagreements, I think your successor is highly likely to be less trustworthy and more corruptible than you were.

As Mr. Trump closes in on the Republican presidential nomination by promising voters he’ll crack down on foreign competitors, the rest of the world should take stock of the extraordinary power a president has to take the country in a protectionist direction….

While the candidates haven’t delved into the details of trade enforcement, a president has enormous leverage through several broader powerful tools, such as Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974, which authorizes the president to take “all appropriate and feasible steps” against any “unjustifiable or unreasonable” discrimination against U.S. exports, and Section 201, under which he can seek to protect industry from surging imports….

Though the law is murky, a president can probably pull the U.S. out of the WTO or Nafta on six months’ notice, says Gary Horlick, a veteran trade lawyer, though that would leave in place many of the laws enacting their provisions, such as on tariff cuts and intellectual-property rights.

So, in other words, over time the president has amassed significant levers of power with fewer checks and balances than Americans commonly realize. [To be fair, there have been valid reasons for some of these shifts in power from the legislative to the executive. If you think presidents are bad at foreign economic policy, you haven’t paid attention to legislative history. But still, this is a thing.]

As much as Obama decried overreaching executive power as a candidate in 2008, he has become part of the problem as president. This president has concentrated control over foreign policy within the White House to a far greater degree than anyone since Richard Nixon. In response to an actively hostile GOP-controlled Congress, Obama has simply bypassed the legislative branch through executive action. While many of Obama’s supporters embraced this strategy in the face of an implacable Congress, it creates an office ripe for abuse if, say, a vainglorious blowhard were to get elected.

I’m probably overreacting to the concentration of power in the executive branch. The system is designed for the president to think about the national interest more than other elected officials. And for obvious reasons, Trump probably won’t win. Probably.

But even if the next president is Hillary Clinton or Bernie Sanders, it is worth thinking hard about whether the prerogatives of foreign policy have become too concentrated over time.

In summer 2005 Daniel moved to Berlin, and, within a very short space of time, became an integral part of the city’s folk and klezmer scene, playing in different groups and musical projects. As a corollary, he soon formed his own band, featuring a rotating roster of some of Berlin and New Yorks best young Klezmer and Balkan players.
"The Painted Bird" concocts a mixture of Klezmer, radical Yiddish song, political cabaret and punk folk, kept together by Kahn's amazing abilities both as a songwriter and a performer; telling stories of outrageous incidents, poetically dark, tragically humorous and politically incorrect.

Fronted by Jewish-Detroiter singer-songwriter Daniel Kahn on vocals, accordion, piano and guitar with East German Johannes Paul Graesser on fiddle, US expat composer Michael Tuttle on upright bass and a rotating roster of some of Berlin and New Yorks best young Klezmer and Balkan players, the band was formed in Berlin in fall of 2005. Guest artists on the CD include NY downtown Tsadik players Brandon Seabrook & Eric Rosenthal (Naftule's Dream), Holland's rising yiddish folk diva Niki Jacobs (Nikitov), and members of Berlin's "Grinstein's Mishpoche" and "Shikker Vi Lot." Like the grotesque Jerzy Kosinski novel from which they take their name, The Painted Bird reminds us that even if man is only an animal, he can still sing.

"Dan Kahn is the hottest damn songwriter you've never heard of. Kahn is not only an amazing multi-instrumentalist/playwright/poet, he also typifies the youthful ethos that reminds us that music without heart is just a bunch of noise."

Braes of the Carse Conservation Group

Dear Member                                                         4th February 2014

                                            Bandirran Wind Farm

We now understand that Banks submitted their revised planning application last week and it is probable that P&K will publish it very shortly. The period for comments from interested parties starts at publication and could be as short as 21 days although at least two Community Councils intend to request extra time.

Those of you who attended our AGM in November will recall that the 60 or so people who attended were unanimously against the planned development. Your committee therefore feel that they have a mandate to object to the planning application on behalf of the Braes of the Carse Conservation Group.

We also intend to encourage members and others to submit individual objections.

Our objective over the period for representations to the planning application is to get as many valid objections as possible submitted on time, in addition to the Group objection.

We are updating our web site to include general information on wind farms and links to other organizations and sources of information. There will shortly be a page of guidance on how to make an objection and the grounds under planning law which are valid. We will also publish the timetable which P&K are working to and in particular the cut off date.

We are preparing press releases and an entry for the spring edition of the  Inchture Newsletter .

In conclusion, I would ask all of you who are against this development to watch our web site to access information and we will keep it up to date with more data as it becomes available.

Please bring the site to the attention of others and do what you can at this stage to activate objectors.

We are up against a very professional and powerful developer but every objector will count in the planning decision.

                         Yours ,

                             Malcolm McSwan

                                Chairman, BCCG

Teh button

The first blog post I made for this project was about the cheese-avatar-chooser that was integrated in Empathy some time ago. Working this week at the effects window an idea bumped into my mind...
Why not have also a default images window from which to choose from?

Initially the code for avatar chooser was inspired from gnome-control-center but I only added support for setting an avatar from the camera. The first version of it looked like this:

Yesterday I managed to integrate also the um-photo-dialog from gnome-control-center. I didn't send it for review yet because I still have to clean the code. I will see what the Empathy guys have to say about it but in the meantime you are a screenshot :

Cheesy effects attack Empathy

These days major changes are happening in Empathy. Some of them are happening in the GUI where people are making stylish redesign of the video call window. In the meantime I finally managed to implement the effects window from Cheese to Empathy.

In a few words:

Next to the camera button I added a new shiny button for video effects.

Hmmmmm...Let's add some color to this face...maybe this will do :

 Cooooooolish !!!!  >:P

If you click on it (MUA-HA-HA! you wouldn't dare to push teh button! ) the effects window will show up, just like in the image bellow.

You can choose from a variance of six effects per page one that you like the most just like in this case :

Voila! :D You can have a video conversation with the coolest effects :) !!

I still have to implement the sliding from one page of effects to another and I think that it will be ready  by tomorrow. Also, if you would like another button instead of teh button please let me know.
The code was sent for review and I really hope it is accepted.

So much to do... so little of this summer left :P...
Coming soon! Be prepared for a massive attack of cheesy effects :D !

a camerabin2 story

These past two weeks I went just like Alice... in camerabin2 Wonderland :p

Cheese needed to switch from camerabin to camerabin2 which is more flexible than the previous camerabin version. For the switch there were some adjustments to be made. I tried to come up with a decent solution :D

Some work done is listed bellow :

1. Support for viewfinder and effects preview

There were minimal changes to be done to integrate camerabin2. These included providing support for both viewfinder (Cheese's main window) and effects preview.
Camerabin2 requires something special from its "camera-source". For that "wrappercamerabinsrc" module was used so that "camera-source" could be created.
In particular for camera-source the video filter applies to all modes (If the effect is applied on camera_source, the effect will be available in viewfinder and image/video capture modes)

2. Renaming needed

As in every porting some renaming had to be done :
 "filename"(cheese-camera) to "location"
  the signals were renamed from capture-start/stop to start/stop-capture

3. Thumb-view handling

In "cheese-thumb-view.c" we had to handle the case of  photo/video moved to monitored directories.
The use case is the following :
Camerabin2 creates a temporary file, writes data into it and finally it moves it to the destination path.
Without G_FILE_MONITOR_SEND_MOVED to g_file_monitor_directory, moves would be sent as DELETE + CREATE. Unfortunately, we would also get CREATE events when the temporary file would be created. We cannot listen to CREATE events as temporary files would be CREATED and then CHANGED and the thumb-view creation code would work with bad data .
By using G_FILE_MONITOR_SEND_MOVED we get a single event when the file is moved. As the file monitor ignores files with unknown extensions (as is the case for the temporary files created by camerabin2) we could only just append the new file.
Because the user might also move a picture/video manually from the Pictures/Webcam or Videos/Webcam directories, removing the old file from the thumb-view keeps it up-to-date with the state of the file system.
If Camerabin2 switches away from the create-temp+move approach, to the camerabin one (create the destination file directly), we're prepared to handle that code with G_FILE_MONITOR_EVENT_CHANGES_DONE_HINT.

4. Switching from signal to bus message

For performance reasons the signal  "image-done" from camerabin changed in camerabin2 to a bus message.

5. Fixes in camerabin2

Last but not least I managed to fix pixbuff-only capture (capturing and storing an image only in memory used for an avatar), but Thiago Santos provided a better solution.
This week I also developed other patches for camerabin2, most of them clean-up patches.
MUA-HA-HA!!! :p

The future of UK carbon pricing

A joint consultation of the UK Government, the Scottish Government, the Welsh Government and the Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs in Northern Ireland
02 May 2019

In this consultation document, the UK Government and the Devolved Administrations are seeking views on whether the proposals are appropriate, proportionate and workable for participants. The governments are also seeking views on what the likely impacts of these proposals would be, based on our appraisal in Annex A. The proposals, and the readers' feedback on them, will enable the UK Government and the Devolved Administrations to develop informed legislation. The readers' views may also inform discussions with the EU on a linked UK emissions trading system (UK ETS).
In the absence of Northern Ireland Ministers, any future policy decisions to be made in respect of Northern Ireland may be taken by a senior officer of the Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs in Northern Ireland, in accordance with the Northern Ireland (Executive Formation and Exercise of Functions) Act 2018 and the guidance published by the Secretary of State under section 3 of that Act.
Separate to this consultation, the UK Government and Devolved Administrations will be writing to the Committee on Climate Change (CCC) to request advice pursuant to s48(1) and s48(2) of the Climate Change Act 2008 (CCA), on establishing both a standalone UK ETS and a UK ETS linked to the EU ETS.

  • Chapter 1 sets out the main design proposals for a UK ETS (covering both a linked and a standalone UK ETS.)
  • Chapter 2 sets out proposals for how a UK ETS would operate together with some improvements – compatible with our preferred outcome of establishing a linked UK ETS – which we plan to introduce to the operation of the system to reduce burdens on business.
  • Chapter 3 sets out proposals for how the UK ETS would apply to the aviation sector.
  • Chapter 4 sets out how the governments propose to fulfil their legal obligations as a current member of the EU ETS regarding transposition of the Phase IV revisions to the EU ETS and legislate for further improvements to the implementation of the EU ETS in the UK. Many of these changes would also be applied as part of a UK ETS (linked or standalone).
