Subject: Management Course
Status: RO

Lesson One:
A crow was sitting on a tree, doing nothing all day. A small rabbit
saw the crow & asked him, "Can I also sit like you & do nothing all day
long?" The crow answered: "Sure, why not." So, the rabbit sat on
the ground below the crow, and rested. All of a sudden, a fox appeared,
jumped on the rabbit and ate it.

Management Lesson?
To be sitting and doing nothing, you must be sitting very, very high
up.

Lesson Two:
A turkey was chatting with a bull. "I would love to be able to get to
the top of that tree," sighed the turkey, "but I haven't got the
energy." "Well, why don't you nibble on some of my droppings?" replied
the bull. "They're packed with nutrients." The turkey pecked at a lump of
dung, found it actually gave him enough strength to reach the lowest
branch of the tree. The next day, after eating some more dung, he
reached the second branch. Finally after a fourth night, he was
proudly perched at the top of the tree. Soon he was promptly spotted by
a farmer, who shot the turkey out of the tree.

Management Lesson?
Bull Shit might get you to the top, but it won't keep you there.

Lesson Three:
A little bird was flying south for the winter. It was so cold the bird
froze and fell to the ground in a large field. While it was lying
there, a cow came by and dropped some dung on it. As the frozen bird lay
there in the pile of cow dung, it began to realize how warm it was.
The dung was actually thawing him out! He lay there all warm and
happy, and soon began to sing for joy. A passing cat heard the bird singing
and came to investigate. Following the
sound, the cat discovered the bird under the pile of cow dung
and promptly dug him out and ate him.

Management Lesson?
1) Not everyone who shits on you is your enemy.
2) Not everyone who gets you out of shit is your friend.
3) And when you're in deep shit, it's best to keep your mouth shut!

Here endeth your management course.

We've been having an issue for some time now, that all our Grid is up, but the beacons say offline for most or all of the sims.

We don't use the Dreamgrid 'pause', and every time I check, the sim is up and well. I do resets of the sims when I notice, which does get the beacon to work again - but be aware that most of the time, a particular sim is likely really available and running :)

Just paste in the SURL and give it a try!

The land of Xzar is coming along. I can't believe it has been only 4 months since I migrated to the Genesis RP grid! What a journey! I am building this fantasy world based on my story for the 5th time!! I am this [ ] close to inviting you all to come to have a look. The land of Xzar is a mixture of past, present, and future. This is one of my latest builds. McCall Technologies is a Robotics company and this is the corporate hive. I just can't figure out what to do with the front. Any suggestions? I love building fountains so they are all over the place. Still, it is one option. I am thinking of jet fountains along the sides in front. Or they could be planters. Shrug.
Edited to add a picture of the final Look. Added fountains and found the statue in my inventory.

Well I'm finally able to get on again but it's sketchy! Graphics are still really messed up at times, but after a clean install of an older version of Firestorm, it appears to be partially cooperating. This means I can get back to building at least and so, to celebrate, I've made this "Heart Bed" since Valentine's day is coming up. It's not scripted "yet" but will be eventually. However if you'd like to get a copy and script it to your liking, you can find it at the Star Jinn Palisade Mall in our Masala Al Kohav region. My new graphics card and power source are on their way so it's just a matter of time before I'm driving everybody crazy again. :D Blessings and much love, Lavia

New clothes on Camballa - many ball gowns - but also the short dresses are new

EAT WELL AND GET PLENTY OF SLEEP!!!

Every hour of sleep we reduce, the more our cognitive performance decreases, and does not recover.
Yawning refreshes the brain and increases the speed of response.
It deceives us, retouching what we perceive with memories from the past.
It does not have the capacity to do many things at the same time, it gets stuck in the 3rd one.
Doesn't like diets, if starved brain cells eat part of themselves
Stores two copies of each memory, one in the prefrontal cortex (long term) and one in the subiculum, which it erases over time.
It is a myth that we only use 10% of the brain
It has a part that is only responsible for storing information about faces.

COMER BIEN Y DORMIR LO SUFICIENTE

Cada hora de sueño que reducimos, más disminuye nuestro rendimiento cognitivo, y no se recupera.
Bostezar refresca el cerebro y aumenta la velocidad de respuesta.
Nos engaña, retocando lo que percibimos con recuerdos del pasado.
No tiene capacidad para hacer muchas cosas a la vez, se atasca en la 3ª.
No le gustan las dietas, si se muere de hambre las neuronas comen parte de sí mismas
Almacena dos copias de cada recuerdo, una en el córtex prefrontal (a largo plazo) y otra en el subículo, que borra con el tiempo.
Es un mito que sólo utilicemos el 10% del cerebro
Tiene una parte que sólo se encarga de almacenar información sobre las caras.
