The next title to be released at Homelandz Public Library is a request from Ankh Senaton/Lionheart... a classic by HG Wells...The Time Machine! Find it upstairs on the bookshelf marked T for Time ;)
The Time Machine is an 1895 dystopian post-apocalyptic science fiction novella by H. G. Wells about a Victorian scientist known as the Time Traveller who travels to the year 802,701. The work is generally credited with the popularization of the concept of time travel by using a vehicle or device to travel purposely and selectively forward or backward through time. The term "time machine", coined by Wells, is now almost universally used to refer to such a vehicle or device.
Utilizing a frame story set in then-present Victorian England, Wells' text focuses on a recount of the otherwise anonymous Time Travelers journey into the far future. A work of future history and speculative evolution, The Time Machine is interpreted in modern times as a commentary on the increasing inequality and class divisions of Wells' era, which he projects as giving rise to two separate human species: the fair, childlike Eloi, and the savage, simian Morlocks, distant descendants of the contemporary upper and lower classes respectively. It is believed that Wells' depiction of the Eloi as a race living in plenitude and abandon was inspired by the utopic romance novel News from Nowhere (1890), though Wells' universe in the novel is notably more savage and brutal.
In his 1931 preface to the book, Wells wrote that The Time Machine seemed "a very undergraduate performance to its now mature writer, as he looks over it once more", though he states that "the writer feels no remorse for this youthful effort". However, critics have praised the novella's handling of its thematic concerns, with Marina Warner writing that the book was the most significant contribution to understanding fragments of desire[clarify] before Sigmund Freud's The Interpretation of Dreams, with the novel "[conveying] how close he felt to the melancholy seeker after a door that he once opened on to a luminous vision and could never find again".
The Time Machine has been adapted into two feature films of the same name, as well as two television versions and many comic book adaptations. It has also indirectly inspired many more works of fiction in many media productions.

Our next release to the Homelandz Public Library is a classic rather short novel that is a gripping and touching tale of 2 unlikely traveling companions, looking for work, and a piece of the American Dream. I highly recommend the modern movie remake of the black and white classic as well. The newer one features Gary Sinise as George, and John Malkovich as Lenny.
"George...tell me about da rabbits?"
Of Mice and Men is a 1937 novella written by American author John Steinbeck. It describes the experiences of George Milton and Lennie Small, two displaced migrant ranch workers, as they move from place to place in California, searching for jobs during the Great Depression.
Steinbeck based the novella on his own experiences as a teenager working alongside migrant farm workers in the 1910s, before the arrival of the Okies whom he would describe in his novel The Grapes of Wrath. The title is taken from Robert Burns' poem "To a Mouse": "The best laid schemes o' mice an' men / Gang aft agley" ("The best-laid plans of mice and men / Often go awry").
Although the book is taught in many schools, Of Mice and Men has been a frequent target of censorship and book bans for vulgarity and for what some consider offensive and racist language. Consequently, it appears on the American Library Association's list of the Most Challenged Books of the 21st Century.

Rappel !!!! Prochaine réunion de préparation de la chasse au trésor intergrid, Samedi 7 Juin 21h00 à l'accueil de BloodMoon . En attendant voici le compte rendu de la dernière réunion pris en note par Ladyka:
----------------Réunion Préparation Chasse au trésor - Jeu de piste - Le vendredi 23 mai 2025 - 21h ------------------
Principe(s) retenu(s) :
- passer obligatoirement par toutes les régions ou grilles engagées
Idées / suggestions / questions :
- Découvrir un code ? résoudre des énigmes permettrait d'obtenir un bout du code ; à la fin, celui qui détient l'ensemble du code obtient "quelque chose" mais quoi ? -> Lot(s) à définir (tenir compte qu'il peut y avoir plusieurs gagnants)
- Faire le parcours soit selon un ordre alphabétique des régions ? A priori, option non retenue puisque pour découvrir le code, ordre alphabétique pas forcément nécessaire, il faut obligatoirement être passé sur toutes les régions participant.
ARRIVEE
- Quel lieu d'arrivée ? Proposition : un lieu qui serait le résultat d'un travail collectif/collaboratif ? Cela impliquerait de Builder une région spécifique. Les échanges ne penchent pas pour cette option, plutôt utiliser une ou des régions existantes.
DEPART
- Quel lieu de départ ?
- Lister les informations à fournir au départ (conditions de réalisation, règles du jeu/règlement, etc.
- Soigner le départ en le rendant motivant, stimulant
ENIGMES
- Quelles énigmes ? Un parcours constitué d'étapes comportant des énigmes d'une difficulté croissante ?
- L'énigme devrait être en lien avec la région ou la grille visitée, elle doit également impliquer de visiter ou se déplacer dans la région.
- L'énigme ou les énigmes seront cachées dans un ou des "objets". Elles doivent permettre d'obtenir un bout de "code" / une "clé.
DIVERS / FONCTIONNEMENT
- "Objets" communs à toutes les grilles ?
- Un clic sur l' "objet" ouvre une notecard (comportant l'énigme, un bout d'histoire, l'étape suivante, etc.)
- Possibilité de faire intervenir un NPC (ex un ancien alchimiste) et/ou d'utiliser un panneau commun (texte ou "audio") qui serai(en)t présents à chaque étape.
- Il est important de prévoir d'indiquer au participant l'étape suivante.
- Chaque grille ou région participant à la chasse au trésor devrait être libre d'organiser ce que doit faire le participant mais en tenant compte d'un fil conducteur entre chaque étapes du jeu. Cela implique de tenir compte de l'étape précédente.
- Concernant le *fil conducteur* : une histoire (ex : sur les traces d'un voyageur)
- Chasse au trésor ou jeu de piste entre grilles francophones mais ouvert(e) aux autres langues.
- Quel scenario
Questions en suspens :
Comment le participant propose sa réponse et comment obtient-il le bout de code ?
Si le participant pense avoir trouvé, que doit-il faire ? Envisage-t-on la possibilité de fournir une réponse dans tous les cas (y compris une réponse fausse) ? ou ne fournir un code que lorsque la réponse est juste ?
=> à définir en commun
----------------- Fin de la réunion 22h33 ---------------
Echanges informels après la réunion
- Le fil conducteur et/ou le règlement devraient faire référence au monde francophone
- Minord propose de s'inspirer de l'exercice du texte à plusieurs mains : chaque grille participant au jeu reçoit le texte de la région précédente et rédige sa partie en faisant évoluer l'histoire. La grille transmet l'ensemble à la suivante qui fera de même. Les régions ou grilles précédentes ne connaîtront pas la suite de l'histoire (et pourront donc également participer au jeu !)

For those who missed out on issue #1 from December of 1953, with Marilyn Monroe, here is issue #2, January 1954. (All issues will be found on the magazine rack upstairs...simply paste the hop into your map for a 2nd time, once you arrive at the region, and it will take you right to the correct bookcase.
These magazines can be rezzed in world to proudly display on your coffee table, bookshelf, whatever you wish. You can also simply "add" them and they attach as a HUD to your screen, and read in comfort, and only you will see!
I hope many will enjoy to see firsthand the evolution of an iconic magazine known worldwide for culture, class, style. I hope many will read the articles, jokes, and interviews. For instance, when we reach March of 1954, we find the first of 3 parts of Ray Bradbury's novel "Farenheit 451" Wow! It is truly like taking a step back into the 1950's, and seeing how things were!

Happy Shopping :)
I searched high and low for the elemental guardians and could not find them so I guess they went the way of anything else captured in the machinations of Opensim. So I shopped and shopped and then I shopped again until I finally found just the right statues, took them home, tore them all apart, and created my own elemental guardians. Earth, Water, Air and Fire are ginormous angelic guardians of the elements and I created them for an Fantasy themed region that can be used for RP'rs if they like. These beautiful guardians are located in the "fantasy builds" department of the Masala Al Kohav mall. Stop by and get yours. Blessings and much Love, Lavia.

Next up to our opensim public library is the #1 selling book on the planet...the Holy Bible! We hope you have use for this and can gain strength and inspiration. Bearing that in mind, i am aware there are a number of different faiths and beliefs out there. I am respectful of others beliefs, so keep in mind i will be deleting and maybe blocking anyone that tries to take a positive thing for a large group of people, and turn it into a heated debate, flaming, trolling. This is a peaceful freebie FOR THOSE WHO WANT IT. :) nobody is under obligation to come claim this free item, and thus, nobody should complain. Thank you in advance for being polite, rational and kind :)
A *BIG* shout out to Cyberglo Cyberstar, who has been so generous and kind with his time, adding 1 fix to take us to version 1.1 and allow pages to move backwards. Then the next day taking us to version 2.0 and allowing us the potential to make books in minutes rather than days and hours. and yet a 3rd update already to take us to script version 2.3!
New Features from 2.0 to 2.3:
Can now view the cover by clicking left side from page 1, to close the book/show cover. Adds a professionalism and another level of realism to the book experience. (also close book from menu)
Which leads us to the bigger features...a menu is added! holding down the left mouse ANYWHERE on the book for 5-10 seconds will give a popup menu:
1)page number 2)bookmarks 3)close book
We already mentioned 3 and self explanatory.
1- page number: push this to jump to any of the 1119 pages of this book
2- bookmarks: that's right, save your place, or simply remember some significant pages. you can name each page and you can create a bookmark using the menu, or you can edit the notecard (PATIENCE! it DOES take some computers a bit of time to load 1,119 images!)
Now keep in mind, you want to follow the examples already laid out in the notecard that is included. you can simply edit or erase this once you have the jist of how to name and format the notecard. (dont be silly like me and try to save a page as "John 3:16"....it needs the : to tell it what page to go to...so rather than take me to page 987 or what have you, it took me to page 16.
Yes, I am already aware some adjustments need to be made to the numbering system/script. For now, use it for what it is, and be grateful for the minutes to hours it will save you getting you relatively close to the page you wish to jump to or bookmark. We will obviously do our best to make this more accurate. ENJOY!

Die Kunst des klanglichen Wahnsinns
Ein Cembalo, dessen filigrane, barocke Melodien wie Kristallsplitter durch einen stillen Raum tanzen. Die Luft scheint von der Eleganz vergangener Jahrhunderte erfüllt zu sein. Doch die Idylle ist trügerisch, ein flüchtiger Moment der Ruhe vor dem Sturm. Ohne Vorwarnung zerreißt ein markerschütternder Blastbeat die Stille, eine akustische Schockwelle, die alles in ihrem Weg mitreißt. Ein opernhafter Sopran, rein und ätherisch, steigt in schwindelerregende Höhen, nur um im nächsten Augenblick von einem gutturalen, unmenschlichen Growl aus den tiefsten Abgründen der Hölle abgelöst zu werden. Rasende Breakcore-Salven prasseln nieder, verschmelzen mit melancholischen Balkan-Melodien, dem Knistern eines alten Vinyls und der zarten, nachdenklichen Melancholie einer einsamen Akustikgitarre. Dies ist kein Fiebertraum. Dies ist kein zufälliges Durcheinander von Klängen. Dies ist die sorgfältig konstruierte, brutal schöne und absolut einzigartige Klangwelt von Igorrr.

Island of the Blue Dolphins is a 1960 children's novel by American author Scott O'Dell, which tells the story of a girl named Karana, who is stranded alone for years on an island off the California coast. It is based on the true story of Juana Maria, a Nicoleño Native American left alone for 18 years on San Nicolas Island during the nineteenth century.
Island of the Blue Dolphins won the Newbery Medal in 1961. It was adapted into a film of the same name in 1964.
^This is a beloved novel from my childhood, and it still tells such an incredible tale worth re-reading, well into adulthood. These books and novels are arranged alphabetically, and the waypoint takes you right to the correct shelf. You won't likely land right at that shelf. You will need to paste it into your map a 2nd time, after landing at the region. Common words like "the" are ignored. for example, i put The Holy Bible under B for Bible, making it the 2nd shelf on the back of the first floor. i for Island is at the end of that same row. in the menu, the item is named IslandBlueDo because menu popups limit to 12 characters. These should be full perm so you can rename to its full name later if you wish. any perms issues i will fix asap. been super slammed trying to get so much done both rl and online. Please enjoy this and remember reading is fundamental! ;)

Now that i am back from my vacation and recovering from getting sick, I am working on a new project. When I was on the Cruise ship, I loved the spa so much I wanted to incorporate it into vb. The spa will be at Meditation Gardens. It will have some Saunas, therapy pools, ice room as well as massage rooms and the wellness pods will be moved into the spa as well.

I am planing to do special Tribute Sets at Bikers Heaven
once a month or once in 2 months depending if you like
it or whats your opinion about it.
The first Tribute Set will be on the 9th of Juni 2025
what Band will be at the Tribute Set i will let you know
in the Groupmessages.
You also can send advices with Bandnames ingame at AMV
just include it to a notecard as the messages can get lost.
Tribute Set can be just single songs in a row of a special band
or if i can get it a whole concert of the band. The quality of the
concerts arent the best most times.
Hope to hear from you with your ideas and advices.
Have a great day all
Hugs

| | CyberGlo CyberStar 6 hours ago anythingllm can learn from books you upload, pdf files, etc. you can couple it to something like dolphin mixtral and have one heck of an expert on your hands that will answer any question without guide rails. |
 | Dorena Verne✦ 7 hours ago I use all sorts of AI tools and then choose the results that suit me best. I often use several in succession until I find the right one. |

| | Tonia 11 hours ago I guess this would be "Windows Subsystem for Linux." Mostly used by Developers. |
 | Fred Beckhusen✔ 12 hours ago Max: the STUN/TURN server only runs on Linux. WebRTC is a client. Windows also runs linux nicely. So please go ahead and proivde this service to the 100K or so annual users of Opensim. |
| | CyberGlo CyberStar 15 hours ago This holiday season why not give the gift of financial support to your favorite grid? Show some Christmas Magic! Be Kind! Rewind! |
| | CyberGlo CyberStar 15 hours ago It follows logically that when people go to areas where an adult avatar is expected which is measured in height and looks, if this is not their instantiation of a visage then they are autobanned. But remember, there is an autoban in germany where people race around at high speed killling themselves |
 | Max Rilaxin 23 hours ago Oh, and, configuring a static public and system IP for free, if you know how, is very easy :P |
| | Max Rilaxin 23 hours ago Infact.. the Janus WebRTC system has been available on Windows since around 2016 |
| | Max Rilaxin 23 hours ago https://github.com/Misterblue/os-webrtc-janus-docker |
| | Max Rilaxin 23 hours ago WebRTC has many different ways to use and run it, for example in Docker/Docker-Desktop on a windows host PC feeding a WSL2 Linux VM :P |
| | Max Rilaxin 23 hours ago Not true Fred, WebRTC can run on standard Linux distros and there is also a variant for Windows PC's :P |
| | Fred Beckhusen✔ yesterday WebRTC requires a Linux server at a fixed IP. So its a showstopper for all but larger grids. |
 | Pagane yesterday Many of last server distributions already contain integrated bann list of IP addresses. Of course this is masked as greefer protection and security and..... STUPID AND SAD!!! |
 | Xenon Darrow✦ yesterday Wolf Territories doesn't height ban. Individual regions do by personal choice. |
