Spotlight on the Meeting of the Minds. Sunny Love Holiday Reporting.
Do you enjoy
discussing current events or topics that effect our modern society, but hate
when things get heated and neither point of views are truly heard?
Are you
longing for a beautiful gathering area where great minds can learn from one
another with respect?
Well of you answered yes to either of those
questions, I don’t think there is a better discussion group in Second Life to
enjoy good conversation with the respect your view deserves. Let me introduce
to you The Meeting of the Minds.
Recently I
was invited to visit the Meeting of the Minds welcome center by the creators of
this group, Starr Zackerly, and Timantti Vesiputous. I was pleasantly surprised
by the warm and community like atmosphere.
I instantly felt comfortably, and was greeted quickly with a warm smile.
Once granted access to the discussion venue, I felt positive vibes as I enjoyed
the wonderful landscaping and Décor that I am sure was created with the great
idea of keeping things warm, light hearted and fun.
After a
lovely walk, we reached the discussion stage where most topics are covered, and
I was more than happy to see two large you tube style television that allow you
web access to pull up any proof you may need to prove your point. This
discovery brought me such excitement I couldn’t wait to sit them down and find
out more about this wonderful group.
Interview with Timantti
Sunny: When
did the meeting of the minds begin and how did it come about?
Timantti : The Meeting of the Minds was created
on May 11th of 2014. It started when Starr and I discussed trying to make a
discussion and debate venue similar to the paltalk room we had met each other in.
Starr also was inspired by her experience with the community at The O Lounge.
Sunny: How
does one become a member?
Timantti : Anyone can join the group when they
arrive at the Welcome Center by clicking on the gnome near the entrance.
Sunny: Are there any membership fees?
If so how much and what is the purpose of the fee?
Timantti : There is a $100 Linden membership
fee. The fee helps keep the group comfortably sized and adds some protection
from others who aren't interested in having discussions. All of the proceeds go directly to
maintaining the venue.
Sunny: I like how this Group cover a
wide range of subjects, are there any subjects that are taboo?
Timantti : There is no subject too taboo for
us! We love to learn about and discuss new perspectives. We want people to feel
save to bring up any topic for serious debate and discussion.
Sunny: Since you are discussing
topics that people are most likely going to disagree with and many have strong
feelings about….how do u keep the atmosphere friendly?
Timantti : We work as a community to maintain
respect. When people begin to react emotionally we offer a queue board to help
everyone stay on topic and have their opinions heard by the rest of the group.
Sunny: Can
you briefly explain how the queue board works?
Timantti : Yes, the queue board gives structure
to the discussions when the conversation gets emotional. Once someone clicks
the queue button their name appears on the board and it allows them 2 minutes
to make their point before it’s the next persons turn. We also have media boards so that people can
display websites or videos to support their arguments.
Sunny: Yes
I see and really like that. Also you have another way for discussion to be held
called the round table. Can you briefly
explain it works?
Timantti : The round table was a concept
designed by our admin Catalina. At the round table 2-4 people have the
opportunity to have a moderated debate. These are for more structured and
formal debates, where the audience would listen and comment after it's
finished.
Sunny: You
also have a wonderful lady by the name of Myrraiel that holds Biological
Anthropology lectures as well. Please tell our readers a little about that?
Timantti : Myrraiel is working on her MA and
has offered to share her knowledge with us.
Each Friday she leads a discussion on a topic related to Biological
Anthropology. Topics include sexuality, evolution and genetics.
Sunny: This
sim is beautiful and looks like has a lot of neat gathering areas, Please
explain one or two of them for us.
Timantti: We have a beautiful campfire area.
It’s equipped with video viewers so you can share songs and clips while you
relax. The campfire is great for fun and
casual conversations. Then we have a fishing hole that features CC's Custom
Creations for 7seas fishing. There's also a mermaid oasis under the water and a
garden full of fun surprises that you can find by rezzing a boat.
Sunny: What would be the best way for
our readers to learn more about this excited group?
Timantti : They can learn more about us on our
Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/MotMSL.
We also have a video on youtube that explains what we do at Meeting of
the Minds and shows a walkthrough of the venue.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PQuqX491qic
Sunny: I
have had a wonderful time today. Thank you for showing me around and enlighten
me. It was a pleasure to meet all of you.
Timantti: Thanks so much for stopping by. We have more events and discussions planned,
hopefully you can stop by again and get into the debate. Take care and stop by
anytime!

Avie Poll: What is Everyone’s Favorite SL Summer Activity? Carrisa Silverfall Reporting
Even though September has begun we are still enjoying
those last few days of summer fun and we wanted to know what do some of you do
with your SL Summer? Do you look for
romance, seek out a new adventure like a role play sim, play some beach
volleyball or simply sit in the sand enjoying the warmth of the sun? Or maybe
you did all of the above and more…
Pamela Fishnet and Mimikrii are just a couple
of people who like others, gather up your families and enjoy some wonderful
quality time together. For some our RL
Summer time is about 2 or 3 months long and before you know it your children are
starting High School or heading off to College.
Big changes ahead for your family, therefore making your summer full of activities
that will be remembered for years to come is one of your most valuable
treasures. Check out Rasta sand – Surf,
chill, have some ice cream at http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Mama%20Allpa/68/169/24.
While others are busy especially in the
spring time with horses, dogs, and cats, having babies. BellaRuse58 enjoys
racing horses, breeding them and in general enjoying the horse community. You can check out her horses at Garifuna
Stables & Market**ABC Horse and Pony Sales http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Pelican%20Cove/180/110/21. This is a great way to teach children about
animals and to learn responsibility, plus who doesn’t adore a furry little baby
puppy, kitten and pony!
Lots of people love to gather around a bond
fire or start heating up the outdoor grill to enjoy those summer treats like
toasted marshmallows, bbq and adding their favorite liquor to ice tea or
lemonade. While enjoying each other’s
company seems to be the first priority for everyone, swimming, hot tubs and
waterfalls are a welcome reprieve from the heat of the sun.
Listening to music with friends and loved
ones is another very popular past time in Second Life as some dance away as the
sunsets other sit back just enjoying the moment is what FunkyGirl Neox does at
Relax Club http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Lunar%20Sky/204/69/24. People in SL love to listen to remixes from
their favorite Dee Jay to hear a new spin on some old favorite tunes! There are certainly all kinds of music in
Second Life to explore and maybe even find a new favorite style of music.
While others get busy working on their SL
business, putting together a beach and dance club area for all to enjoy like
Pierre Balehawk of BNDC Club and Apartments http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Luissa/89/25/67. Many of us decide to start up a business in
SL and test the financial market waters of SL.
Which can be a precursor of starting up an RL business, as it’s a great
way to learn how involved it may be to have your own company.
Exploring Second Life is what we all do,
especially in the summer when beach sims popup and jungles arise, while others
form their own Role-Play sim with like-minded individuals. It is a great way to learn new things, meet
new people and take some time off from RL especially if you don’t have time to
go on an actual holiday.

Zero Hour Arrives in Second Life!!! The Space Time Continuum Fluctuates…
A cry for help is heard in the distance, as a griefer hits a sim, a city plunged into chaos, a planetary grid on the verge of destruction.
These are just a few of the scenarios that can play out within Second Life (SL).
Second Life citizens are seeing many hero groups phase in an out. Which groups are real?
Well…The ***Justice League of America*** (JLA) has become a “premiere group” of veteran heroes; formed for the express purpose of bringing together Peace keepers & DC Comic enthusiasts under a collective identity.
The group coordinates its activities out of an Orbital Space Station (location granted to members); but is found frequently at the Aftermath Sim – Hall of Justice: http://maps.secondlife.com/
Many other DC multi-verse “iconic” locations are visited as well – Metropolis, Gotham City, Stately Wayne Manor, The Joker's Carnival of Chaos, Hall of Justice, the Justice Society of America HQ, Oa - Sector Station& even The Tower of Dr. Fate. These locations promote the classic genre-based locales, within DC Comics context, and allows our members to immerse themselves within their parts.
The ***Justice League of America*** will assist in promoting “free” safety advice & security for all SL Residents & raise charity contributions through volunteer events within Second Life. We house a strong social calendar & even RP events. “Member Content” is always being developed & launched by talented writers & builders; within the Second Life community. A detailed Member Charter was created to ensure fairness and creativity. This establishes a strong sense of ownership amongst its members.
We believe in SL & RL balance; we're looking for creative & organized people; heroes who can make a supportive difference & understands the Second Life (SL) Terms of Service (TOS) created by Linden Lab.
Think this is another average group? Better think again!
This group has a strong catalog of “Veteran Players”, who have finally come together to form a premiere group of exciting and extremely fun content for a meaningful Second Life experience.
if you're looking for a mature and well-rounded group of heroes to help make a difference, within Second Life.....Apply & interview at our website to learn more.

In search of History: “Mexico in three times” Bimala Tagore Reporting
Let me
introduce you to “Mexico in three times”, an important documentary dedicated to
the Centennial of the Mexican Revolution. Intelligent film reported by
prominent Mexican voices, it enhances animated maps and artistic paintings.
This film develops an enriching critical vision of crucial
moment in history of Mexico in general charge of Enrique Krauze, writer for the International New York Times and Clio
editorial director.
Krauze was responsible for the writing vision
and mission of this documentary it tries to explain the gradual process of
decline of powerful Spanish monarchies and how Mexico claimed his independence.
The sudden “power vacuum” in 1808, caused by Napoleon's invasion of Spain,
would be the opportunity of autonomy of Mexico. This situation opened the door
for Mexicans to reach their independence The first rebellions were severely
repressed and this documentary reflects this troubled historical moment with an impeccable
script movie in charge of Greco Sotelo and directed by Juan Prieto.
Is relevant
to this libertarian cause the Miguel Hidalgo’s conspiracy”, important figure
who left the debate of freedom and summoned the people into rebellion. The
scrip movie, wrote by Laura Emilia Pacheco and David Macareño, show how this
leader defended a territory in hunger and poverty, dependency being
the main reason for this and the valuable
legacy that has
ever been left to man: respect of the sovereign rights of countries.
This film -
through a deep historical analysis – develops the most concerned ages of Mexico
emancipation. Also the sim where the film will be screened is perfectly set in
a traditional fair of Mexico. Even if you don’t understand Spanish you would
feel absolutely astonished by the quality of this presentation. It includes
gastronomical details such as exquisite variety of “mole” to guest, a detour
dance dedicated to the moon, paving stone and colonial paintings of renowned
Mexican artists.
This
documentary is a significant opportunity to know other culture in Second
Life. The land, called “Pabellon de la
Cultura”, is deeply tied to Mexican national identity and regional culture this
time. This is other way to experience
Mexican past without having to take a long plane flight. I felt in Mexico few
seconds and almost saw the spirit of Octavio Paz whispering in my ear ancient
secrets. You can travel via teleport,
without ever leaving your comfortable seat.
Arts and
culture are an integral part of society in Mexico. You will although watch
early and late murals in hands of Rivera, Orozco among others. The paints work
reveals this rebellious character and the art of storytelling trough images. They
are stunning Mexican print art work. These arts crudely follow the history of
Mexico. Become a part of this cultural event. For those of us who really love
this “game” called Second Life, the realization of any event like this depends
on the community.
