Talk about Pop music - Camury reporting...
Ever heard the song “Pop Muzik” by Robin
Scott from way back in 1979? You’re
forgiven if you haven’t, it was a bit cheesy even back then.
Get up, get down
Radio, video, boogie with a suitcase
Your livin' in a disco, forget about the rat race
Let's do the milkshake, sellin' like a hotcake
Try some, buy some fee-fi-fo-fum

Talk about pop musik
Talk about pop musik
Talk about pop musik
Get up, get down
That got me thinking about pop music and how it came to be a genre. It originated in its modern
form in the United States and United Kingdom during the mid 1950's. The terms
"popular music" and "pop music" are often used
interchangeably, although the former describes all music that is popular and
includes many styles. "Pop" and "rock" were synonymous terms until the late 1960's, when they were increasingly used in
opposition from each other.
Pop music is
eclectic, and often borrows elements from other styles such as urban, dance, rock, Latin and country.
Characteristics
of pop music include an aim of appealing to a general audience, rather than to
a particular sub-culture or ideology, and an emphasis on craftsmanship rather
than formal "artistic" qualities. Music scholar
Timothy Warner said it typically has an emphasis on recording, production, and
technology, rather than live performance; a tendency to reflect existing trends
rather
than progressive developments and aims to encourage dancing or uses dance-oriented rhythms.
Music and dancing are the back bone of Second Life’s social scene and there
a many dance clubs in SL that welcome you with friendly staff and a great mix
of music. You can be sure that you will
find a club that plays your kind of music.
Here are my picks of five great venues in
Second Life for you to appreciate pop music, get your boogie on and generally
have fun:
Big Daddy's '80s Club
Great music. Good times.
Experience the sounds of the '80s at Big Daddy's. In this cozy club, the music of
the 80's sways all the time! Join the chat with DJs, employees and other 80's
music fans at this fun club filled with dancing, and have fun enjoying the best
of pop music.
Blackhearts
Blackhearts is a popular club in Second Life founded
in 2007. The club has some of the greatest live DJs playing pop music from the
1970s to current hits, and has some of the most energetic hosts around. Come
and listen to pop music from the past and experience the energy of today's pop
music at this fun club with a friendly, laid-back atmosphere.
Muddy's Music Cafe
Muddy's Music Cafe is one of Second Life best
known places for those who want to dance and listen to music. Find friends,
meet new people and have fun. This club offers music from Djs in several genres
of pop. You can also explore the club's surroundings and shop in the local
shops.
Old Lar’s House*
Old Lar's House is the place for
friendly adult fun! A long-standing adult club in Second Life, Old Lar's is
famous for its fun conversations, bar dancers and awesome live DJ's. Let loose

friendliest around and the atmosphere will draw you in while the music fills

Last week Elon Musk started digging a tunnel for his hyperloop project. Will we travel by means of superfast, magnetic pods in the future? Will goods be transported by drones? Will there be suborbital planes?
What will the transport infrastructure look like? Will we have smart roads that store energy from cars, produce light, warn us about ice or fog? Will there be drone hubs where goods will be handed from one drone to another? Will we need fixed sky lanes for the use of drones, with drone police to keep them in order?
What will cities look like when we do not need them to store goods? Will they be full of self-driving cars? Will the skies be empty of birds because they have been taken over by drones? Will we see vast shopping centres connected by hyperloop tunnels?
Or do you think these are all unreal dreams, destined to go the way of Concorde?

SPOTLIGHT FEATURE ON SECRET HARMONY IN SL- Seersha Heart Reporting

Meet other Avis
from Second Life in Secret Harmony.
Secret Harmony is an online Social Network for SL Residents where you
can meet other Residents and share all kinds of content. Today we have the owner of Secret Harmony,
Kwave Wilkinson, to discuss this fabulous new social network.
Seersha Heart: What prompted you to create like Secret Harmony?
Kwave Wilkinson: We ran a forest and a designer event and the site was linked to the forest for a way
to meet online and meet others in world to. With no one using the forest we let
it go and put full focus on the website. The site is my passion and it is an
old project that I basically incorporated for Secondlife. Being both me and my
wife met in SL and were friends for years this is a project we enjoy. Later in
life we grew a fondness to one another, met in real life and got married. So
Secondlife for us is a way to meet others and if there is a site that can
further those chances or to even share content with others that is even better.
Ive been on many sites and there is just so much lacking. I wanted more without
having to rely on a million different sites. Most of all I wanted performance
and security. Those are things we strive on. We are always open for suggestions
and listen to the community.
Seersha Heart: This is all very exciting. Is this a dating website?
Kwave Wilkinson: Dating websites are focused on one thing and that
is meeting someone to be your soulmate. We are not a dating website. The goal
of the website is to network people and their content. Could someone potentially meet someone for
love interests? Definitely. As a whole we are a social network for meeting
others as friendship, to collaborate, or yes if it happens to meet your soul
mate.
Seersha Heart: How long has this site been available?
Kwave Wilkinson: We have been available since late September of
2016
Seersha Heart: What features do you offer?
Kwave Wilkinson: You create your own profile and also your own page
if wanted. You can use your personal pages as a blog page,
newspaper, business page or a mix of those.
The possibilities are endless for what you can create. You can also create a blog or a group. You can post events or advertisements. You can also take part in the Forums.
Sharing is a wonderful feature in Secret Harmony. You can share photos and videos and you can
also share gestures, sweepers, promos and other audio clips. You can share the things you like on Facebook
or Twitter.
Seersha Heart: Users can earn Lindens with the monthly referral
program. How does that work?
Kwave Wilkinson: You refer others to join Secret Harmony. In March we are paying double the
Lindens. Monthly referral program to
earn lindens http://referral.secretharmonyinsl.com
Seersha Heart: How do I get started using Secret Harmony? Does it cost money to use?
Kwave Wilkinson: Secret Harmony is free. Just go to our website and you can set up
your account from the first page.
Seersha Heart: Where do I sign up?
Kwave Wilkinson: https://secretharmonyinsl.com
Seersha Heart: Thanks for your time today. Secret Harmony sounds like it has everything
that the other social media sites rolled into one page.
Create a
multifunctional profile that interfaces with all your favorite social media at
Secret Harmony. It’s free and it has it
all!

Beyond the Physical Transcendent Action - Seersha Heart reporting...

Ewan Bonham, meditation, second life, Seersha Heart, SL, SL Transcendence, Transcendent Activation
No comments
“Have
you ever found yourself running around doing things while you breath quickly
and your heart beats too fast?
If
left to your own natural pace what would your breathing be like, your pulse be
like, operating in your own rhythm?
Discovering this rhythm gives a certain feeling of freedom to know
ourselves.” Ewan
Bonham
Today I am speaking with Ewan Bonham
who, along with Starlight will be hosting a weekly Transcendent
Activation class Sundays at 3 pm slt beginning March 19, 2017. Ewan is sharing the experience of Mindful Meditation
with SL residents to help them find that freedom.
Seersha Heart: For those who may not know, what is
meditation?
Ewan Bonham:
Meditation is a practice of concentrated
focus upon a sound object visualization, the breath, movement or attention
itself… in order to increase awareness of the present moment. It is used to reduce stress, promote
relaxation and enhance personal and spiritual growth.
One
source of stress is our mind jumping around to things it has no control over:
the past, the future. We have a habit of
thinking about these issues continually, but we find peace as we live our
moments in the present.
When
we focus on the present moment we feel a sense of peace and can enjoy the sensations
of that moment. This leads to each of
these moments being a richer experience.
Seersha Heart: One of the other techniques you will be
discussing is “Mindfulness” meditation.
How would you describe that activity?
Ewan Bonham:
Simply sit in stillness allowing whatever thoughts you have come to your mind.
You acknowledge them and sense their flow but you give them no energy. You do not pursue the thoughts, letting them
float in and out. As you let go of these
thoughts you gain an ability to stay in the present.
You
create a detachment from distracting thoughts to gain insight and awareness of
self.
Seersha Heart: Your class is called Transcendent
Activation. What do you mean when you
use this term?
Ewan Bonham:
Transcendence means beyond the body,
also beyond our strict time table and beyond the physical. Transcendence is a reduction of our awareness
of our physical bodies and a letting go of our emphasis on time. Your body and your mind can regulate itself.
Seersha Heart: What made you think of SL as a good place for
your class?
Ewan Bonham: SL is very convenient to use. You just need a
laptop and to construct your own personal Ashram. Our meeting as a group while
using the simple tools in SL, gives you the freedom to construct your method
and space to take time out of your RL day.
When we meet as a group we will go through many of the different tools
that help to create an ambiance. The end
product will be to build you own private space for focused meditation.
Seersha Heart: You are saying your group will be making
their own meditation area using the tools in SL?
Ewan Bonham: We begin by showing a simple platform. I want each person to find a place, where
nobody else knows you are around, your own corner of the world for this ashram
to be used.
Some
of the SL tools we will use in building our ambiance are lighting, textures,
our cameras and scenes. Other tools include the use of words, affirmations,
music and sounds. Some find it useful to
use a moving object for focus [moving art].
These are all basic building tools to use to make your ashram.
After
discussing the ashram I will talk the group through a meditative
experience. The breath is the anchor of
meditation, if you concentrate on how your breath sounds and feels it is much
easier to stay in the present.
Seersha Heart: People attending the class will meet other
residents. What are the social and
interactive elements of your group?
Ewan Bonham:
We will practice meditation and follow it up with a group discussion. Members can share what the experience was
like for them. Perhaps something that
has popped up for them. Some people have
memories or feelings they haven’t had in years. Once released, they become more
available to the present.
Discovering
and sharing with group members in our natural state has a comforting feeling.
We
will also be traveling to some of the many SIMs that are designed creatively
and beautifully. They have been created
with meditative spots in mind.
Seersha Heart: You will be meeting in a dedicated skybox for
meditation. Will you describe it for us?
Ewan Bonham:
It is represented in the picture. This is a quiet and private space where we
can flexibly present many of the elements discussed above. Group members can determine what feels right
for each of them.
Seersha Heart:
Should people interested in your class bring anything with them to class?
Ewan Bonham:
Just themselves and their own open minds and hearts.

What Makes Bento Mesh Heads Different? – Camury Reporting...
Wednesday, March 08, 2017
avatar make overs, avatars, Bento Heads, Camury, Project Bento, second life, SL, SL Avatars
No comments
As a result
of Second Life viewers being updated for Bento, it seems that the Second Life
community is in a tail spin over Bento mesh heads.
For those
who still do not know about it, Bento is the newest and greatest improvement
from Linden Lab for Second Life. It
allows more realism for avatars by adding ‘bones’ and attachment points to the
avatar skeleton.
As the
Bento Project makes changes to the Second Life avatar skeleton, avatars
(specifically those who use the new joints, bones and animations allowed by the
Bento Project) have the opportunity to have a much wider range of avatar body
types, facial expressions and animations. New mesh avatars and mesh attachments
make full benefit of new joints and attachment points.
A summary
of the new bones and attachment points:
·
New
limb bones: for extra wings, arms, or legs.
·
Tail
bones: Include your tail in the avatar animations.
·
New
hand bones: for finer control over hand animations.
·
New
facial bones: for complex facial expressions, ears and animated antennas.
·
New
attachment points - Associated with the new bones.
Bento does
not affect any content in Second Life. What has changed, for the average user,
is that older graphics cards and controllers may be finding it hard to process
the increase in the number of joins. This has forced Second Life users to
upgrade their operating systems or drivers to the latest version to be able to get
on board with the Bento era. And now, after a long wait, we are starting to see
a variety of avatars with additional Bento options.
The
curiosity for Bento has been increasing exponentially. What people want to know is what the main
advantages of the additional options are.
Let’s compare
the standard mesh head versus the Bento head. Basically, the advantage of the Bento
head is the uncountable customization options for which it allows and the
facial expressions tend to be much more realistic. This means that Bento heads
allow adjustments and modifications to suit our characteristics. We can make
use of the facial sliders to create our own face shapes.
Here are
some Bento Mesh head options available inworld:

Although
the delightful additional options of Bento heads are appealing, the cost is
somewhat restrictive. But don’t worry,
you can keep the mesh head you are currently using, if you use one that is, for
some time to come. Mesh bodies won’t be changing for the foreseeable future. Although Bento hands and feet are now being
released to add to the already complicated mix.
The
"classic" avatar of Second Life will continue to function as planned
and will not have to be updated. You do not have to change anything if you do
not want to.
The adoption
of the Bento head as de rigueur will initially be slow. In my opinion many people will keep the mesh
heads that they are currently wearing and will keep their mesh bodies as they
are for now as well. Obviously there are
always those are early adopters who will want to use the characteristics of the
Bento head, wings ears and tails, to make Second Life more realistic that it
already is.
