Sabaton – Chronisten des Schlachtfelds

In den letzten Tagen des 20. Jahrhunderts, genauer gesagt im Jahr 1999, formierte sich in der schwedischen Stadt Falun eine Band, die das Genre des Power Metal nachhaltig prägen sollte. Ursprünglich unter dem Namen Aeon gegründet, vereinten sich fünf junge Musiker mit einer gemeinsamen Vision: Joakim Brodén als Sänger und Keyboarder, Pär Sundström am Bass, die Gitarristen Oskar Montelius und Rikard Sundén sowie Schlagzeuger Richard Larsson. Diese Konstellation sollte den Grundstein für eine der erfolgreichsten schwedischen Metal-Bands aller Zeiten legen.

I want to thank everyone who participated in our little poll yesterday regarding adoption of PBR viewers. The tally as of today: 45% of the 29 respondents said they love it, 28% said they had tried it but had reverted back, and 14% said they had no interest in using one.

As I have shown before, the pic above shows the difference between PBR and full Blinn-Phong materials. Both are the best I was able to accomplish with each graphics engine. Both are part of all my builds now, so users can decide how they want to see them.

As many of you know, I've always been an early adopter and proponent of new viewer features, such as materials and eep, and used them in everything, regardless of how widely adopted the tech was among the user base. And as with pbr now, the primary early adopters are usually artists, designers, and creators, because we are are supported by a great group of patrons who enable us to keep doing what we love and push the limits of creation on this platform. So, if a user doesn't want to upgrade, we understand and we accommodate, but if they do, they're in for a treat :-)

Here’s an expanded legend you can study — now the gray category has a country‑by‑country key so you can see exactly who they are and why they don’t have an official Labour Day / Workers’ Day.

🗺 Updated Legend

🔵 May 1 – International Workers’ Day Chosen in 1889 to honor the 1886 U.S. labor strikes and the Haymarket affair. Observed in most of Europe, Asia, Africa, and Latin America.

🟢 1st Monday in September – U.S. & Canada Adopted in the late 1800s to avoid the socialist/communist associations of May Day.

🟠 Date in October – Australia & New Zealand Linked to the Eight‑Hour Day movement and local spring observances.

⚪ No Official Labour Day – Country Key & Reasons These countries do not have a dedicated public holiday called “Labour Day” or “Workers’ Day,” though some may mark work‑related events in other ways:

Country Reason

Saudi Arabia Public holidays center on Islamic festivals; no secular workers’ holiday.

United Arab Emirates Similar to Saudi Arabia; labor rights recognized in other ways.

Qatar No public holiday for workers; focus on religious/national days.

Kuwait Same as above; May 1 not observed officially.

Oman Religious and national holidays take precedence.

Bahrain No official Labour Day; labor issues addressed through other channels.

Morocco May 1 recognized in some sectors but not a guaranteed public holiday.

Taiwan May 1 is observed by some unions but not a nationwide public holiday.

Afghanistan Political and security factors; no consistent national observance.

Nepal May 1 recognized but not always a full public holiday.

South Sudan National holiday calendar does not include Labour Day.

Eritrea Other national days take precedence; no formal Labour Day.

Greenland Follows Denmark’s holiday calendar, which does not include Labour Day.

Select small island nations Holiday calendars focus on independence or religious dates.

Liebe Community,
seit wenigen Stunden werde ich in Facebook massiv von einer Person attackiert – mit haltlosen Unterstellungen wie Fake-Identität, toxisches Verhalten und sogar Pädophilie. Solche Vorwürfe sind nicht nur verletzend, sondern strafbar.
Ganz ehrlich: dieser Ärger bringt mich an meine Grenzen. Nach über 15 Jahren in OpenSim frage ich mich manchmal, ob es das noch wert ist. Aber dann denke ich an all die Menschen, Projekte und an unsere gemeinsame Community – und das ist der einzige Grund, warum ich nicht einfach hinschmeiße.
Ich will hier nur klarstellen: Diese Anschuldigungen sind frei erfunden und haben keinerlei Substanz. Meine Energie gehört weiterhin Dorena_AI, der Kunst und unserer Welt – nicht dem Gift einzelner Personen.
Wer mich angreifen will, soll wissen: Ich lasse mich nicht einschüchtern. Meine Projekte wachsen weiter – trotz allem.

AH, ihr Name ist Vanessa Keune...
Dear Community,
for the past few hours I have been massively attacked on Facebook by a person – with baseless accusations such as fake identity, toxic behavior, and even pedophilia. Such allegations are not only hurtful, but also punishable by law.

To be honest: this whole situation is pushing me to my limits. After more than 15 years in OpenSim, I sometimes ask myself if it’s still worth it. But then I think of all the people, the projects, and our shared community – and that is the only reason why I don’t simply give up.

I just want to make it clear: these accusations are fabricated and have absolutely no substance. My energy continues to belong to Dorena_AI, to art, and to our world – not to the poison of a single person.

Whoever tries to attack me should know: I will not be intimidated. My projects will continue to grow – despite everything.

AH, her name is Vanessa Keune...

On that color‑coded map, the gray countries are those without an official public holiday called Labour Day or International Workers’ Day on May 1 or another date.

They may still have other holidays that honor work or productivity, but not a formal “Labour Day” in the global sense. Examples include:

Middle East & North Africa:

Saudi Arabia

United Arab Emirates

Morocco (note: some sources list May 1 observances, but not always as a public holiday)

Asia & Pacific:

Taiwan (May 1 is observed in some sectors but not a national public holiday)

Afghanistan (varies by region and recognition)

Nepal (May 1 is recognized but not always a full public holiday)

Africa:

South Sudan

Eritrea (has other national days but not a formal Labour Day)

Other territories:

Greenland

Some small island nations in the Pacific and Caribbean that follow different holiday calendars.

These gaps usually come down to different labor traditions, political choices, or religious calendars taking precedence over an international workers’ holiday.

📜 The Origins Behind the Colors

🔵 May 1 – International Workers’ Day

Why May 1? Chosen in 1889 by the Second International to honor the 1886 U.S. labor strikes for the eight‑hour workday, which began on May 1 and led to the Haymarket affair in Chicago.

Spread: Quickly adopted across Europe, Latin America, Africa, and Asia as a day of worker solidarity.

Tone: In many countries, it’s both a political day (marches, rallies) and a festive one (concerts, fairs).

Fun twist: In places like Finland (Vappu) and Sweden (Valborg), it blends with ancient spring festivals.

---

🟢 First Monday in September – U.S. & Canada

Why not May 1? In the late 1800s, U.S. leaders wanted a workers’ holiday separate from the socialist/communist associations of May Day.

First official: Oregon recognized it in 1887; by 1894, it was a U.S. federal holiday. Canada followed a similar path.

Tone: Less about protests, more about parades, picnics, and marking the unofficial end of summer.

🟠 October Dates – Australia & New Zealand

Why October? Linked to the Eight‑Hour Day movement — Australian stonemasons in Melbourne won the right to an eight‑hour workday on April 21, 1856, and celebrated annually. Over time, states shifted the holiday to spring (October in the Southern Hemisphere).

New Zealand: Adopted Labour Day in 1890 to honor its own early adoption of the eight‑hour day.

⚪ No Official Labour Day

Some countries (e.g., Saudi Arabia, Morocco, Taiwan) don’t have a dedicated workers’ holiday, often due to different labor traditions, political systems, or existing national holidays that serve a similar purpose.

🌍 How It All Fits Together

May 1 dominates because it’s tied to a global labor movement moment.

September is a North American alternative, deliberately distanced from May Day politics.

October reflects local labor victories in the Southern Hemisphere.

Other dates are rare and usually tied to unique national histories.

HAPPY LABOR DAY WEEKEND TO ALL!
Some fun facts about Labor Day & who & how it is celebrated all over the world!

This weekend is Labor Day weekend in the U.S. this year. Labor Day 2025 falls on Monday, September 1, so the long weekend runs Saturday, August 30 through Monday, September 1.

As for who celebrates it — Americans aren’t alone, but the September version is pretty rare.

United States & Canada both mark Labor Day (or Labour Day) on the first Monday in September.

Most of the world celebrates a similar workers’ holiday on May 1, known as International Workers’ Day or May Day. Over 100 countries — from France, Germany, and Brazil to India, South Africa, and Australia — observe it then. - The meaning is broadly similar everywhere: honoring the labor movement and the contributions of workers, though traditions and timing vary.

Here’s some world information of “Labour Day” / “Workers’ Day” dates so you can see how differently countries place it through the year12.

🌍 Region / Country 📅 Date in 2025 📝 Notes & Traditions

United States Mon, Sept 1 Parades, barbecues, end‑of‑summer celebrations

Canada Mon, Sept 1 Similar to U.S., often marks back‑to‑school season

UK Mon, May 5 (Early May Bank Holiday) Mix of spring festivals & workers’ rights events

Most of Europe (France, Germany, Italy, Spain, etc.) Thu, May 1 Marches, rallies, concerts; rooted in labor movement

Australia Varies by state (e.g., Oct 6 in ACT, NSW, SA) Commemorates 8‑hour workday movement

New Zealand Mon, Oct 27 Public holiday with community events

China Thu, May 1 Part of a multi‑day “Golden Week” holiday

Brazil Thu, May 1 Parades, concerts, political speeches

South Africa Thu, May 1 Public rallies, cultural performances

Japan No single “Labour Day” — has Labour Thanksgiving Day on Nov 23 Focus on gratitude for work and production

Russia Thu, May 1 (Spring and Labour Day) Parades, political gatherings

Finland Apr 30–May 1 (Vappu) Student cap ceremonies, champagne picnics, workers’ marches

Sweden Apr 30–May 1 (Valborg & May Day) Bonfires, choral singing, rallies

💡 Pattern:

May 1 dominates globally — tied to the 19th‑century labor movement and the Haymarket affair in Chicago.

September is mainly U.S. & Canada.

October/November dates appear in countries with their own labor history milestones.

Like every year, Osgrid is scheduling auctions.
This isn't just an event; it's a way for the grid to fund itself. The grid operates solely through your donations.
But you can also donate one of your creations for the auction.
Have a good Friday and a good weekend.

This beautiful Mayan-style ziggurat is available for you to add to your region if you are into ancient builds, sci-fi, and/or sci-fi fantasy. The stairs are very easy to climb, the Mayan carvings are original art from my AI Art program, and it has 2 floors inside with corner steps and serpent railing. The stone block texture is travertine, a commonly used stone in ancient times, but you can retexture it however you like. It's mesh, so it is modifiable, but that is limited. You can find this little gem in the "Ancient Builds" department of our mall. Blessings and much love, Lavia.
