Aview TV: Second Life Terms of Service Community Meeting on October 19, 2013




Many Avatars are up in arms about the new TOS changes that refer to Copyright rights/Content Creator Rights. Here is the discussion that took place Saturday October 19 at 10am SLT at the Justitia Virtual Legal Resource Village. A panel of IP attorneys discussed the new terms of service.

Avie Poll: Discrimination, Prejudice and Racism in SL: Reality or Myth? – Glossom Resident Reporting…



Did anyone imagine twenty years ago that the existence of a virtual world would be possible? 
The world has changed so much in the past decades. Science has made great strides, laws on Equality and Human Rights were created, technology has raised sharply making the world smaller and bringing people closer. Yet, much ink is still expended on Discrimination, Prejudice and Racism, three words that bring people apart. Is this multicultural virtual world called Second Life a Utopia regarding this subject?



Discrimination, prejudice and racism are concepts that merge for their cause-effect relationship. All three are grounded on stereotypes that generate social malaise. While Prejudice stems from preconceived negative judgments on people and their beliefs and behaviors, Discrimination is an unfair or unequal treatment given to a person based on prejudice related to religion, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender, physical or mental disability, nationality, among others. Racism, on the other hand, expresses a set of theories and beliefs that establish racial and ethnic hierarchies, superior and inferior races, resulting in Intolerance, hostile feelings and attitudes.

The Celtic Corsets: Interview with Tiana about Life, Business and Celtic fashion - © Orchids Reports…



Celtic attire of the past was all made out of materials that, unfortunately, broke down over the centuries. 

These materials, such as linen and wool, made for many spectacular articles of clothing, which can only now be re-constructed from information found on stone carvings, and in stories and written descriptions. Celtic clothing has of course been changed by modern hands, and there are many variations on the types of clothing that was worn centuries ago.


An interview with Tiana (azhdeen wirefly) ; a Scot gal into Celtic fashion who in spite of an RL battle with her heart, has found a good mix in life, business and partying in SL.

DATING IN THE WORKPLACE ON SECONDLIFE- Nomad Aries Reporting...


 

There are a lot of places to meet people in Second Life and one of the most popular places to meet is the workplace because The that is an easy place to meet someone and make a connection. 


Sometimes, a couple who have been dating or are partnered figure they get along so well that they will enter into a business together or work together  but is it the best idea?

There are many opportunities on Second Life that allow for couples to work together, however , workplace relationships are one of the biggest reasons businesses in Second Life fail. I personally have witnessed this many times and recently, one of the biggest and oldest clubs in SL closed because of a personal relationship that ended. It is actually the second time this club went down because of a personal relationship that ended. Most of my experience working for businesses owned and operated by romantically involved people working together has not been positive. It would not be an exaggeration to say sometimes it was a nightmare.

Why do people choose to work with their significant other? Can it work?

October 26th at Paramount Playhouse, Mitch Triellis, a Chilean singer is at the Paramount to sing for an hour of his mello jazzy style to open for our show! Come listen at 6pm slt!


 


Singer of Jazz and Swing the old school related to songs that Bobby Darin, Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin and others made famous. 

He also sings pop music mainly from 50's to 80's. He's been a performer in RL for more than 20 years and I sing mainly at casinos all around South America and the Caribe.
 
At 7pm slt, Paramount Playhouse Players as they put on their Halloween show, “Night of the Dancing Dead.”

TOS changes debate rages on - Lacy Muircastle reporting

On Saturday October 19th, a panel of legal experts (real-life attorneys) met at the Rose Theatre, Angel Manor in Second Life to discuss the changes to the Second Life Terms of Service instituted in August this year.  The point of the exercise was to address questions on the matter and clear up some of the confusion that has resulted from these changes.

I was unable to attend the meeting myself but Inara Pey (one of SL's foremost bloggers) has put together a detailed account of the proceedings, the link to which is below.

It is most enlightening and thank you Inara for taking the time to put this information together.

Pol Arida, not your everyday musician - Lacy Muircastle reporting ...

Listen to this ….


War Zone - urban love story

Did you listen to the words?  If you didn't go back and listen again!!  Did you relate to what he was singing about?  You should have, haven’t we all had experiences of one kind or another that equate to feeling like you are in a war zone in our relationships? 

This is Pol Arida.  Pol writes much of his own music and has been known to put his own unique spin onto cover versions of well-known songs, but it his hammering guitar playing technique that has set him apart, it is quoted as being a ‘unique percussive style’ .  Clearly though he has a gift in the writing of lyrics ….  I personally absolutely love the hammering guitar – it is highly emotive.  Pol has a dynamic stage presence and interacts with his audience very naturally.  He epitomises the reputation the Scottish have for their warmth and friendliness. His style of music is highly addictive.

Spotlight - Sailing the Linden Seas - Lacy Muircastle reporting ....



Sailing is a passion bordering on an obsession for many both in RL and SL alike.  The sailing community in Second Life is a tight knit family who has done a phenomenal job of making sailing possible in SL.

Coastal Waterway 
Avid SL sailors and social sailors alike may be interested to know that at the beginning of October the Seychelles Isles (formally the Irish Estates) made a historic move to a new location which connects directly with the Mainland. This new location merges with the Coastal Waterway near the Northeast outflow of Dire Strait, offering residents of the estate many more open water sailing opportunities. From that location it’s a quick sail North to Corsica, South to Blake Sea, or Southwest to Bingo Strait, Nautilus City, and Satori continent.

The Abyss Earth Sciences and Marine Life Observatory – Stareyes Galaxy Reporting


Imagine you were intrigued by a documentary in your youth and seeked a career that would allow you to advance a field of science similar to what was presented in that favorite show you saw years ago.

Yan Lauria has been able to do just that, having seen the Jean-Jacques Cousteau ocean exploration documentaries in his childhood. He is now working as a project manager at JAMSTEC, “Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology”. He is also the main force behind Abyss Observatory, the oceanographic earth science sim on Second Life © (SL). Stareyes Galaxy had the opportunity to interview him and take a tour of the sim.

Sci Fi RP in Second Life - Piers Diesel reporting....

In Second Life whatever your interest is you can be sure to find a sim or a  few sims dedicated to it. Sci-fi in Real Life is a topic which once in your life you will either have had a discussion on or have generally chatted about with friends.

Why? Due to the fact it is the unknown and no one person knows how it came about or what life form if any really exists.

In Second Life you will find sims dedicated to creating a RP sim for those of us who would like to re-inact what it would be like to live in deep space or way in the future where life has evolved just like the sci-fi movies.

I will list a few RP sims that are available in Second Life which will enable you to visit and see if this is the kind of RP you are looking for in Second Life.

Dance Queen's Cutie Award Winners for Best in Historic Dance of 2012, Unity Productions is performing their latest play: For Such a Time As This



The story begins like an ancient fairy tale.  A beautiful young woman, minding her own business, finds herself at the center of the story of murder, intrigue, suspicion, jealousy and conspiracy. 

After an odd series of events that include the King having a temper tantrum, a beauty pageant, and many women at a world-class spa for a full year, one woman is chosen to be the next queen; this is the ultimate “true’ Cinderella moment. 

What happens as a result is an uprising and a downfall you don't want to miss.

Join us to see the story unfold as Unity Productions presents “For Such a Time as This”, performed LIVE at their stage.

How SL Residents Celebrate Halloween- Tea Couturier Reporting...




Halloween is a fun time in real life and there is no reasons why this fun shouldn’t be extended to Second Life.

Many of us celebrate Halloween and here are just a few ways the residents of SL will be observing the holiday. I asked a few residents what they would be and many said visiting they would be haunted houses.

 Here are a few of the recommendations SL residents have given me

Avie Poll: What Was Your Funniest Mistake in SL? – Glossom Resident Reporting…



“”Experience is simply the name we give our mistakes”,
-Oscar Wilde

Although Second Life is a place for socialization, experiences and new beginnings, it is also a place for mistakes. The description of mistake is very clear: errors in action. Everyday thousands of people login to SL, and when doing so they are prone to error.  The human propensity to blunder combined with an atmosphere where certain permissions or certain platform tools make it hard not to make a mess, result in embarrassing and funny stories that make Second Life a place to laugh.

An Exclusive Look at the Lascivious Velvet Lions- Silky Soulstar Reporting…


I landed at the front entrance to the club, and was greeted with a primal message that immediately stopped me from clicking away that silly blue pop-up box; “Welcome to The Velvet Lion, where the darkness provides cover for our male dancers to hunt their prey.  For all their roaring, growling and ferociousness, are you brave enough to enter the Lions Den of temptation?”  I read the greeting words again …  and … <meowed>.


What’s written can be so much more exotic than what’s seen … that was what I was thinking when I signed up to visit Velvet Lion.  How exciting could it be to see some males take off their clothes and show me their prims?  Haven’t we all seen noobs run recklessly about vast Sim lands with pixel sticks haphazardly stuck on?

Little did the crowd know they were the first to break in the new Le Chat Noir Venue at the SL Enquirer and they did a great job of it!

It was amazing to look around the Ball and see so many big names, familiar and new faces all in one concentration.  The hosts kept busy tending to the crowd as I got lost in the crowd greeting everyone.  From guessing games to drawings, the venue was full of activity but the best part was being surrounded by so many amazing and creative people. I had a fabulous time and according to the guestbook so did many others!  Thank you all for attending SLE’s Masquerade Ball 2013, I look forward to seeing you again!

It is important to feature the top deals and children stores in SL for those who have SL children or are SL children themselves.

Spotlight On Chest Treasures: The Shopping Mall For Busty Women ©- Orchids Reporting…



Late nineteenth century, the rise of the mail order  catalogs brought a world of goods to a consumer’s doorstep. Years later, shopping and buying would undergo another
metamorphosis.


It became known simply as “the mall.” Historically, its said,  if you put three stores together, people would shop at one store and look at what the other stores have.The mall is an interesting concept which has come a long way. The Chest Treasures is one such place.

House of Champions Boxing Gym- Piers Diesel Reporting...



Most of us enjoy watching boxing in Real Life and have probably been to a gym to box. So to have one in Second Life to actually not just train but to box and win fights.

 Winning a belt is a plus!


Whatever your views are on boxing in Real Life, there are people who enjoy it and for that this has made the House of Champions Boxing Gym one of the top if not best gyms on the grid. 

Owned by Jimothy Stratten who has won so many belts and championships himself clearly shows that this is a gym that has an owner who knows what he is doing.

 To learn more about Jimothy and HOC an interview was the only thing to do.
