Tips on Summer Flings/Dating in Second Life and how to keep the spark going

It’s still summer in Second life! The bars, clubs and beaches are full of people from different parts of the world looking for fun and romance. When we enroll in a relationship, even if it’s just virtual, we want everything to go well. But to make that possible it’s necessary to follow some tips that can guarantee the summer romances’ success.

How to flirt:

1. Check the Radar. Pay attention to the possibilities. Look around and see who attracts you. Don’t be a perfectionist and don’t go with all as well.

2. If you are interested in someone around you, show it! Lt the person know you are looking and try to establish eye contact with him or her. However, do it slowly. Avoid to stare at a person.

3. Create an atmosphere of mystery and fun. Flirt is a dance of interests. Observe from distance while getting ready to be looked at. Have good humor.

4. Play with the space. Get closer to foreign spots. Flirt is a movement, it is a surprise. Be creative.

5. If you manage to establish a good eye contact, use other way to contact with him or her. Break the ice. Get closer and start talking!

6. What should you talk about? You don’t need to be a poet or a writer, you just have to talk about interesting subjects. You can talk about something that’s happening, make an honest compliment, you can also ask something. It doesn’t matter.

7. Don’t complain. Its very unpleasant to meet someone who is always complaining about life. Say nice things about life and about yourself.
8. Learn to listen. Show interest in the person.
9. Don’t be too serious. Use some little jokes and be daring at times. However don’t exaggerate at it.
10. Nowadays, the easier path is to go right to virtual sex. But if you manage to create other communication bridges, looking for same interests you’ll have more chance of a long term relationship.
11. If you liked a person, try not to lose him or her from your sight. Try to schedule another date and offer your friendship. If you don’t like the person, be thankful for the conversation and leave politely.

How to keep the flame burning:

1. Don’t let romance go into monotony.

2. If there’s something that can ruin the life of a couple e monotony. Days start to be repetitive which gets boring. Be creative so each day will be different. Ask your partner out to visit some galleries, go out to a bar or club, explore or go for a walk to break the routine.

3. Ward off Jealousy

Jealousy is a big problem to most couples, even more when its out of control. Feel a little jealous is normal. However that can not affect the individual life outside the relationship of each person.

4. Do not betray your partner

You might want to risk with a parallel romance but if your partner finds out it can run your relationship forever. It’s important to establish some rules right from the start. Negociate the possibility of an open relationship is important to avoid future lies.

5. Be romantic, but not too much.

We all enjoy nice words and romantic dinners but don’t exaggerate. No one likes people who are always glued. Be sensitive and show determination when the moment requires.

6. Learn to enjoy other activities.

The usual is that a couple has similar tastes but is also common that the opposites feel attracted. So, if your partner has a very different taste from yours, try to learn to also enjoy the same things he does. If he likes to dance and you don’t, try to go with him and have fun.

The power to conquer is an ability that we acquire with experience, good and bad. Always remember to take care of your avatar. The package is not everything but it helps a lot. If you take care of your avatar it is a good sign you take care of yourself too.

For the third year in a row, the Second Life Music Community is holding a series of concerts to benefit Stand Up 2 Cancer.  As we did last year with a twist.  Second Life is so very diverse and so is Stand Up 2 Cancer, now having a presence in three countries.  The US, The UK, and Canada.  All Lindens donated will be divided evenly between the three countries.  At each event there will also be kiosks with the ability to donate directly via credit card to each country, allowing sl residents to ensure their donations are going closer to their own countries.  To Still Braveheart's knowledge a fund raiser like this has never been repeated in Second Life before.

I did want to explain a bit about about Stand Up 2 Cancer if you are not familiar with it.  It actually falls under the Entertainment Industry Foundation and was founded by a couple of women, Katie Couric being one of them.  They chose to take an innovative approach to ending cancer and developed dream teams of doctors both domestically and internationally.  the dream teams are comprised of some of the best doctors from all over the world, coming together to work towards ending cancer. Another important thing to note is that 100% of all donations goes directly to research and not obscure things entitled "Programs"  or CEO salaries.

THIS IS WHERE THE END OF CANCER BEGINS:

The UK -- https://www.standuptocancer.org.uk/
The US -- http://www.standup2cancer.org/
Canada -- http://www.standup2cancer.ca/

Germany does have a Facebook Page -- https://www.facebook.com/pages/Stand-Up-2-Cancer-Germany/307835426038035?fref=ts

Sansar democratising VR as a creative medium - Lacy Muircastle reporting...

Time and tide wait for no man, or avatar in this instance and Linden Lab have been beavering away for a while now (or in other words developing) a new platform for creating social VR experiences.  It is due for public release in early 2017.

 “When you have a great and difficult task, something perhaps almost impossible, if you only work a little at a time, every day a little, suddenly the work will finish itself.”  Isak Dinesen

It’s with this tenacity that the team at Linden Lab who are working on the Sansar Project have applied themselves.

Yesterday Wednesday August 31, 2016 - Linden Lab® announced that the first invitations to the Sansar™ Creator Preview were being sent out this week. Select applicants will be invited to create their own social VR experiences within the new platform, slated for public release in early 2017.

It would appear that Sansar is now the official title of the new VR platform and the URL for the Sansar website has been updated to – www.Sansar.com.

According to Linden Lab Sansar will democratise VR as a creative medium. It will empower people to easily create, share, and ultimately monetise their own interactive social experiences that can be enjoyed in VR with head-mounted displays like the Oculus Rift and HTC Vive, as well as via PCs and, later, other platforms. Sansar enables professional-level quality and performance, while also solving the complex engineering challenges that have previously made creating and publishing social VR experiences an extremely complex and costly endeavour.

“Since opening applications for our Creator Preview, more than 6,500 people have applied to use Sansar to create their own social VR experiences,” said Bjorn Laurin, VP of Product at Linden Lab. “To start, we’re inviting a select group of creators whose skills and projects are the best fit for Sansar’s capabilities today. As the platform matures, we’ll continue inviting more and more creators up until public release early next year. Feedback from this early community will help us improve the platform, and they’ll create a range of incredible social VR experiences that everyone can enjoy at Sansar’s public release.”

To apply to the Sansar Creator Preview programme, visit www.Sansar.com.

Along with the press release, the lab have also opened a Flickr account for Sansar.  There are not many images available yet, but it will be a window into the progress of the look and feel of Sansar as it develops.

Special awards will be given to top fundraisers.

Please contact Leala or Sandie in Second Life if you would like to get involved with the 2016 Making Strides Against Breast Cancer season in Second Life.

About Breast Cancer:
Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women in the United States, other than skin cancer. It is the second leading cause of cancer death in women, after lung cancer.
The chance of a woman having invasive breast cancer some time during her life is about 1 in 8. The chance of dying from breast cancer is about 1 in 36. Breast cancer death rates have been going down. This is probably the result of finding the cancer earlier and better treatment. Right now there are more than 2.8 million breast cancer survivors in the United States.
The American Cancer Society estimates for breast cancer in men in the United States for 2016 are:
About 2,600 new cases of invasive breast cancer will be diagnosed
About 440 men will die from breast cancer
Breast cancer is about 100 times less common among men than among women. For men, the lifetime risk of getting breast cancer is about 1 in 1,000. The number of breast cancer cases in men relative to the population has been fairly stable over the last 30 years.

About Making Strides Against Breast Cancer:
Making Strides Against Breast Cancer or MSABC is the largest network of breast cancer awareness events in the nation, uniting more than 300 communities to finish the fight. Every breast cancer walk and event is an incredible and inspiring opportunity to honor those who have battled breast cancer, raise awareness about what we can do to reduce our breast cancer risk, and race money to help the American Cancer Society fight the disease with research, information, services, and access to mammograms for women who need them.

About The American Cancer Society:
For more than 100 years, the American Cancer Society (ACS) has worked relentlessly to save lives and create a world with less cancer and more birthdays. Together with millions of our supporters worldwide, we help people stay well, help people get well, find cures, and fight back against cancer.

The 2016 Sunburst Premier Grid Ent. Caribbean Carnival Returns for Its 7th Year.

Sunburst Premier Grid Entertainment

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Shon Larsson, Owner/CEO, Co-Owner Break Beatz Entertainment

Monday, August 29, 2016

As Labor Day in the U.S. gets closer we expect summer vacations to come to an end, schools to be back in session, and the fall season to be right around the corner.  One unexpected event is about to happen as well.  After six years of an August date, the Sunburst Premier Caribbean Carnival is making its 7th year return on Saturday, September 3, 2016.  The largest Caribbean Carnival celebration on Second Life, this event has been anticipated by residents since its inception in 2008.  

Unfortunately in 2015, the carnival was cancelled due to other important obligations.  At that time I knew I wanted to bring it back the following year and here we are.  Also returning for its 2nd year, Latin Heat, “The hottest night of the year”.  This pre-carnival event on Friday, September 2, 6-8pm slt is to acknowledge and celebrate the Latin Culture in the Caribbean.  The DeeJay for this event is DJ Spice (Spiceme Fanizza), the Sensual Latina of Break Beatz Ent. in her 2nd year, bringing that salsa, meringue, reggaeton heat and whatever else she has simmering.  

Latin Heat will be held for the first time at the legendary Cruiz Cotton Club.  Thank you to Cruiz & Starlaa Boa Control for allowing me the opportunity to host the event at your venue.  The Control’s have sponsored the Caribbean Carnival consistently for the past five years.  For the 7th anniversary of the Caribbean Carnival we have a lineup of four great DeeJays.  One important mainstay of this event is that all of the music is provided by DeeJays with direct ties to, or are from the Caribbean.  There are three DeeJays: DJ Cinfull (Cinfull Vixen), DJ Vixen (Suzie Coba), and DJ Kamaria (Mrs. Badger) from Break Beatz Entertainment (BBE) participating in this annual event for the first time, and DJ IDJGrock returning for his second year.  The Hosts for this event are Zariaunna Madeye and Nomi Loven both highly experienced BBE staff members. The location of this year’s carnival will be on the Palm Bay Estates Beach.  http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Hype/208/93/22

The carnival contests have returned as well with random prizes, great sponsor prizes, and cash prizes for Best Caribbean costume, Best Crew in Caribbean costumes (3 or more in a crew), and King & Queen of carnival.  

Year after year I am very appreciative to the sponsors who support and participate in this event.  This, the 7th year is no exception.  I want to thank all of the following sponsors for registering for this year’s event.  Without your generosity and support I wouldn’t be able to sustain this event year after year.  On behalf of the Break Beatz Ent. staff and management as well as our business partners, we thank you for helping us continue to bring quality entertainment to the SL grid.
