Die Geburt einer Band und ihr provokanter Name

Die Formation der Band Birth Control im Jahr 1966 in Berlin markierte den Beginn einer bemerkenswerten musikalischen Reise, die sich über Jahrzehnte erstrecken sollte. Aus den Vorgängerbands The Earls und The Gents hervorgegangen, legte diese Gruppe den Grundstein für eine der langlebigsten Karrieren in der deutschen Rockszene. Schon der Name „Birth Control“ war eine bewusste und provokante Wahl, die eine klare Stellungnahme gegen die Anti-Verhütungspolitik von Papst Paul VI. darstellte, insbesondere im Kontext seiner Enzyklika „Humanae Vitae“.

Still under construction, I try to put film or literary references here and there. For example, here, on the walls of the hut that serves as a food bank, advertisements for Soylent Green, bon appetit!

The List That Really Matters.

I recently listed the shops that were recommended in the What Are You Looking For group in the past six months as a way to encourage these and other shop owners to join the group and help people find stuff they are looking for.

But here is the list that really matters. If anyone helps people find stuff in the What Are You Looking For group, their help is acknowledged and their regions promoted. It’s the least I can do to thank our members who make the effort to help people find what they are looking for. It’s been three months since I’ve done that. Here are the people who have helped in that time.

• JamieWright. Moderator of the group and one of our main helpful persons. Visit their profile for info on their regions. https://opensimworld.com/user/JamieWright
One thing I especially love about Jamie's shops is that they are supportive of the 2SLGBTQIA+ (2Spirit/Two-Spirit, Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer/Questioning, Intersex, Asexual/Aromantic + many more) communities.

• Felix Mafia. Visit his profile for a list of his regions. One of them, Kingman City, has been a place for 5 years to find the finest animations. https://opensimworld.com/user/FelixMafia

• FallenAngelAbsent. Visit her region Circus. It features Bumper Cars (my favorite as a kid!), and the Ghost Train.
hg.osgrid.org:80:Circus

• Mistressdalgato offers many things on her Virtual Beach Grid region. I’m going to highlight just one: Free little land without the need for a local account. See her profile for more info. https://opensimworld.com/user/Mistressdalgato

• Jupiter Rowland Moderator of the group and one of our main helpful persons. He has no regions. He's just a freelance helper who is one of the most informed people in OS about where to find stuff.

• RafaGuzn: A mystery man from Mexico.

• Chelsea Louloudi. This is so cool! One of her regions is Pepperland, based on the 1968 ground breaking animated cartoon, Beatles 'Yellow Submarine". lfgrid.com:8002:Pepperland

• Sharpened Razor: Visit Norti Farm for the Vivosim Farming System & Shop with new Farming Item's Freebies & Much more
utopia.outworldz.net:8002:Norti Farm

• Bink Draconia: Among their many regions is the Black White Castle. It's a "monochrome region that gives you the feeling of being in an old black and white movie”. How cool is that! pangeagrid.de:8002:Black White

• Wolf Territories: I had to take my shoes off to count all of the regions Wolf has, and even counting up to twenty was not enough. Check it out.
https://opensimworld.com/dir/?grid=grid.wolfterritories.or...

• John Sheppard  has regions devoted to Dragonriders of Pern Roleplay, and Highlander the TV Series based Roleplay. For more info: https://opensimworld.com/user/johnsheppard

I encourage you to visit these places and thank these helpful folks should you meet them. I also hope you will join us and help out. https://opensimworld.com/groups/1060

Hiya To All Of You!

Just a note here to let you know what is going on here! :D

It's FANTABULOUS NEWS, too! :D

Recently, the VivoSim Farming System updated all of there items.
So, I went over to a friends place where you can get the updated stuff.

He has made & is in the process of making a whole lot of new mesh items for the farming system! :D
He's made well near 300 vegetables & fruits . . . all mesh! :D

He's one of the beta testers on the team there over @ VivoSim.
So he found a way to implement the farming system update as it wasn't working properly.

I will keep everyone in touch with my findings as I went and got all the items that I could find there.
I am starting to revert my farm over to all of the updated products they have.
The scripts are all updated.

So, I am hoping there will be a whole lot less lag there from now on.
(Please give me some time to update everything. I will be updating one product at a time to make sure it works! ) :D

Please let me know if you have been lagging a whole lot! I am fixing that as we speak!

With the permission of Sharpened Razor:

I will be putting all the updated products that I have gotten in a new shop on my farming region where I have my stores. This store will be for only the updated products. I will still keep my store with the older products for those of you who have not updated as of yet!

I will be doing this within the next two weeks.

This is the LM to Sharpened Razor's region where he has all of these updated items at.

hop://utopia.outworldz.net:8002/Norti Farm/680/121/26

So when you come to my farm please excuse the mess! I am updating!

CIAO 4 NOW! :D

HUGGIEZ! :D

ALL HOPESTONE ATTRACTIONS HAVE MOVED!
NEW GRID: http://hg.CarnivaleGrid.com:8002/Magicland

To All Our Magicland Dreamers,

Howdy folks! Mickey Mouse here with news so big, it’s bigger-on-the-inside!

After almost 4 magical years in Neverworld, we’re moving Magicland to the all-new Carnivale Grid – and we’ve traveling like well, not quite royalty, but Time Lords! The Doctor has agreed to transport us and the entire park in their nifty contraption they call a “T.A.R.D.I.S.”.

(That’s short for “Totally Awesome Ride Distributing Infinite Surprises” – or so the Doctor tells me while doing that thing where they wave their glowing screwdriver at the parking meters. Long story.)

This magical blue box can fit:

All 30 Roller Coasters & Theme Rides (currently occupying the zero-gravity disco room)
All 14 Magical Light Parade Floats (the horses graciously agreed to wear diapers for the trip)
Every last churro stand (now accidentally time-locked to stay eternally crispy)
That singing topiary that gets really excited when Donald rants…. (he won’t leave without it)
Minnie’s entire shoe collection (they all look the same to me, but apparently “that one” is special)
Every last ounce of Magicland magic (can’t leave that behind!)
And still have room for Goofy’s “experimental” jellybean cannon!
Small print: May cause temporary time loops when Donald argues with the console. Not responsible for unexpected visits from Victorian-era carousel horses.

Set your watches for… actually nevermind, the Doctor says time is “wibbly” right now. Just meet us at Carnivale for the grand reopening – we’ll announce the date when we land! There will be games, prizes, movies and more!

Stay tuned folks & NEVER stop dreaming!

Your pal,
Mickey Mouse
Magicland Head Dreamer & Honorary Time Traveler

P.S. The Doctor says to remind everyone: DON’T TOUCH THE BLINKING BUTTONS. Especially the one that looks like a “multidimensional anti-temporal red or sometimes magenta jellybean”. Anyone know what a “multidimensional anti-temporal jellybean” looks like? Apparently that one’s important.

P.P.S. The Doctor let me take a brief glance into Magicland’s future, and I didn’t get to see much (spoilers, darling!) but I did see that the park is getting yet another full region expansion! It seems to be called “Tomorrowland” – I wonder what that’s about? There was also something about a “Sillyville”? Huh! Exciting times ahead it seems! Stay tuned!

New Beta - Version 7.08 of DreamGrid has the ability to schedule a restart anytime during the day or night on any day(s) of the week. It's also running the very latest core Opensim with PBR materials and works with the latest Firestorm viewers as well as the old viewers. Click Help-Update or download the installer and run it.

Opensim in DreamGrid is super efficient and is virtually free to run on your own hardware. Pic is a screen grab of my grid. I run Outworldz.com:9000 with 128+ regions (1,391 SL regions) on an Intel NUC. According to my UPS. my cost is exactly $3.53 per month for all those regions at 14 cents/kWh. I also have one with 396 regions on a laptop, loaded with OARs (2,170 SL sized regions) and it runs very smoothly in just 32 GB of RAM.

All absolutely free! No ads, no sign up. No strings attached. Free Grid-wide search, Grid-wide Publicity, free automatic DYN DNS for outworldz.net, inworldz.net, hyperica.com and ittbittymachine.net domains.

This is the only Opensim secured with Authenticode signed binaries. SOC_2 level security testeing, A+ DNS and SSL rating (all free) and it integrates into Opensimworld so no beacons are needed.

I have debated bringing this masterpiece to the library...not that there is anything wrong with it...I think it is one of the greatest love stories of all time. I used to watch the movie at least once per year. But around 2017, my father started showing signs of dementia...vascular dementia, to be exact. Mini strokes that robbed him of more and more, until they took his life in 2020. Took me a few years to even grieve...I suppose because i had been bracing for the inevitable for about 3 years. So around 2023 or so, I finally allowed myself to rewatch the movie for this book (yes, i think it does it justice)...well, the tears finally came pouring out of me, like rain in a Sparks novel/movie. ;)

Anyways, this is an amazing novel, it will likely tug on your heart strings, if it has not already. For those few of you unfamiliar with the book nor the movie, I normally suggest watching movie versions first; I find they help me visualize the book better, I also find that a book can rarely disappoint and be less descriptive than a movie; but sometimes if we read the book 1st, we may be disappointed if the movie leaves something out, or portrays something different than we pictured or understood it. I won't give any spoilers; y'all can ordain what you wish based on what I said thus far. But, anyone who has not read this nor seen the movie...you are Truly missing out on something very special. Enjoy!

Today, especially for you, a short documentation of how I generate images, which can be a bit tricky, but doesn't have to be. Depending on the situation, I sometimes work quite differently.
Top left: the image I had an AI generate according to my specifications.
Next to it, on the right, after image fusion, for which I also have a program on my computer. I then had an AI modify this image again, as shown in the bottom right. The final result, bottom right, after post-processing (color, sharpening, etc.), also with a local program.
And now:
🧡Have a nice weekend everyone🧡

The next addition to the Homelandz Public Library is the 3rd request from Remmy Ravenhurst...none other than Les Miserables, by Victor Hugo.

Les Misérables (/leɪ ˌmɪzəˈrɑːb(əl), -blə/,French: [le mizeʁabl] ) is a French epic historical novel by Victor Hugo, first published on 31 March 1862, that is considered one of the greatest novels of the 19th century. Les Misérables has been popularized through numerous adaptations for film, television, and the stage, including a musical.

In the English-speaking world, the novel is usually referred to by its original French title. However, several alternatives have been used, including The Miserables, The Wretched, The Miserable Ones, The Poor Ones, The Wretched Poor, The Victims, and The Dispossessed. Beginning in 1815 and culminating in the 1832 June Rebellion in Paris, the novel follows the lives and interactions of several characters, particularly the struggles of ex-convict Jean Valjean and his experience of redemption.

Examining the nature of law and grace, the novel elaborates upon the history of France, the architecture and urban design of Paris, politics, moral philosophy, antimonarchism, justice, religion, and the types and nature of romantic and familial love.

Soon, a "digital relationship" with me will be possible*lol. Now I'm working on a project that will start with an "empty AI," which I'll gradually teach answers along with my idiosyncrasies. It can also use common models; it learns, and then it ends up in its belly. The primitive start—the baby has already passed its first test. From now on, it's going to be a hell of a lot of work for me.
