All our times have come
Here but now they're gone
Seasons don't fear the reaper
Nor do the wind, the sun or the rain
We can be like they are...
-- Donald "Buck Dharma" Roeser

Don't cry because it's over. Smile because it happened.

Thorvaldr has been a busy fellow creating and building and now offering his builds in these handy dandy boxes that you just touch to receive the build for yourself. Thor's builds are all Norse/Viking/Medieval in nature so stop by the mall and go to Thor's Forge to get your own!!

I left the confines of my grubby room of questionable privacy. The desert called to me, so I went. The further away I strolled revealed more signs of life...but I question the variety thereof.

The hills have eyes...

Welcome to the Hotel California
Such a lovely place (such a lovely place)

You can find it here

In my desert journey, I came upon an abandoned petrol station in a ghost town. I didn't dare seek shelter there, but slept across the road on the warm ground. I gave it the light of day, but does it look better? I still feel unease...

Once dwelt in that annihilated place"

Paradise Lost is proud to present The Art Journey: An Exploration of Generative AI Images by Doc Nolan

Doc Nolan has been in virtual worlds for nearly 2 decades. He has always had a part in virtual world art through virtual world photography, then drawing, and now, in generative AI. Doc draws inspiration from a variety of life experiences, both real and virtual. His lifelong journeys as an avid hiker and international traveler have heavily influenced his choices in art, as well as his personal relationships and interests.

Come explore this medium through the eyes of Doc Nolan, wandering through a forest filled with forest nooks and hidden spaces, with beautiful areas for your contemplation of what you see and experience. Immerse yourself, explore, experience.

At Masala Al Kohav Mall something small but very useful, a wall and window set. One wall has the window already installed and is mesh, the single window is Mesh but the wall is simple prim The texture is rustic and can be modified to whatever texture you like and so can the window. These are in our "Building Supplies" department at the mall and they're CMT just for you. I will be making more building supplies available as I create them. Blessings and much love, Lavia.

ART & FRIENDS, along with the artists Azi AZ, Patinha Babii, Tina Bey, Caro Fayray, Elmo Figaro, Youca Godel, Morning Glory, Deanna janus, Victoria Logan, Lando Maremagnun, Nemo Night, Bonnie Oppewall, Victorious Oppewall, Valeria Rossi.

My virtual campaign office at Kawabunga Bay surf region. I am running for State Representative in RL (and likely to win). The people on my grid can't vote of course, but my Partner brought up the funny point that they are all virtual residents of Ward 5 in our city. So it is relevant. :)

Let me tell you about the Genesis Roleplay Grid - This grid was originally started by my daughter, Metal Tango, while I was on another grid with a group of friends. Things went south on that grid for reasons that I do not need to explain so my daughter extended a welcome to my friends to join us on Genesis Roleplay Grid with the understanding that each could have a 1 - 4x4 region with no rent to pay but donations if they could afford it. Everyone has worked very hard to develop this grid and make it a success and build up a good reputation in the virtual community. Seventy five percent of our membership on the grid are Role players and we have fun when we get together, 95% of the regions are developed either for role play or personal use with a scattered few for other reasons because people like to build their dream region. It is a well organized, well run grid with an amazing tech whom we adore and those who were there with us from the ground floor up, working, striving and struggling to make it a success have donated financially as well, particularly Metal Tango. We have an amazing mall with incredible builds and most of the regions on the grid are regions that I personally have developed, some with a little help from other members. If you see a region under my profile, rest assured I built and developed it. But....no bragging, because I have been to other grids and some of them are positively amazingly gorgeous and well done and our Virtual Community is about encouraging one another and working together and supporting each other in our endeavors. Genesis Roleplay Grid isn't about me, it's about every single person on that grid for they are all precious and very talented in their own right, whether creative writing, building, decorating, organizing, everyone has a role to play in making the grid a success. So to our members I say THANK YOU! To my Daughter who has shouldered the burden for these few years, even while struggling through nursing school, I say THANK YOU! To the creative and talented Role Players who make it so much fun and interesting, I say THANK YOU! To the many contributing builders on our grid, I say THANK YOU! To our many (and growing) list of vendors, I say THANK YOU! Together we can do better. If you're interested in role play, contact me or Metal Tango. Blessings and much love, Lavia

Someone requested this house in the "What Are You Looking For" group, so I've set it out at the OSW exclusive area. As some folks were having issues getting there, I've got a teleporter setup to your left when you're exiting the subway car. Look for the door with OSW on it and click to get there. Enjoy!

Hello everyone, friends of New Life Italy,
we are approaching the first anniversary of this incredible journey. Looking back, I think it has been a challenging but also a very fulfilling year. We made important relationships, met so many people and created events that made us laugh so much. In short, it has been a good journey and I look forward to continuing it for a long time to come.
In this year we have seen a vibrant community full of positive energy grow. Each of you has contributed to making New Life Italy a special place where we can express our passions, share our ideas and support our dreams. We have faced challenges and overcome obstacles together, strengthening our bond and proving that, united, we can achieve any goal.
It was wonderful to see how much creativity and commitment you put into each project and event. From the weekly meetings to the big events, every moment spent together was precious and left an indelible mark in our hearts. The laughter, deep conversations and new friendships born in this year are the real treasures of this experience.
We are working on a big party to celebrate this first major milestone together. It will be a surprise party for many of you, because we deserve it and you deserve it! We want to celebrate not only the time that has passed, but also the future that lies ahead. The party will be an opportunity to relive the best moments and prepare for new adventures together.
We will gradually keep you updated on the development of the event. We promise it will be an unforgettable experience, full of surprises and joy. There will be moments of reflection, but also a lot of fun, because every important anniversary deserves to be celebrated in style.
In the meantime, we invite you to continue to actively participate in the life of New Life Italy. Your ideas, enthusiasm and spirit of collaboration are what makes this community so special. We look forward to sharing news with you and building new projects together that will make us grow even more.
I warmly embrace you and thank you from the bottom of my heart for making this first year so extraordinary.

Let your users contact you for two-way conversation through telegram for instant help access.

Creating a script to allow in-world users of OpenSimulator to chat with a channel on Telegram requires the use of HTTP requests. This involves creating a bot on Telegram that can receive and send messages, and an LSL script in Second Life to interact with this bot.

Step 1: Create a Telegram Bot
Open Telegram and search for BotFather.
Start a chat with BotFather and use the /start command.
Use the /newbot command to create a new bot, and follow the prompts to name it and get the token.
Step 2: Create a Webhook to Communicate with Telegram
You'll need a server to handle messages between OpenSimulator and Telegram. Here's a simple example using Python and Flask.

python

from flask import Flask, request
import requests

app = Flask(__name__)

TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN = 'YOUR_TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN'
TELEGRAM_CHAT_ID = 'YOUR_TELEGRAM_CHAT_ID'

@app.route('/webhook', methods=['POST'])
def webhook():
data = request.json
message = data['message']['text']
send_message_to_sl(message)
return "ok", 200

def send_message_to_telegram(message):
url = f"https://api.telegram.org/bot{TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN}/sendMessa..."
payload = {
'chat_id': TELEGRAM_CHAT_ID,
'text': message
}
requests.post(url, json=payload)

def send_message_to_sl(message):
# This function should handle sending the message to Second Life.
pass

if __name__ == '__main__':
app.run(port=5000)
Set up the webhook URL for your bot using:

bash
https://api.telegram.org/bot/setWebhook?url=/webhook
Step 3: Create the LSL Script in OpenSimulator
The following LSL script will send a message to the webhook on your server. The server will then send this message to the Telegram channel.

lsl

string webhook_url = "http:///webhook";

default
{
state_entry()
{
llOwnerSay("Telegram chat bot script active.");
}

touch_start(integer total_number)
{
llOwnerSay("Please type your message to send to Telegram:");
}

listen(integer channel, string name, key id, string message)
{
// Prepare the message
string json = llEscapeURL("{\"message\": {\"text\": \"" + message + "\"}}");

// Send the message to the webhook
llHTTPRequest(webhook_url, [HTTP_METHOD, "POST", HTTP_MIMETYPE, "application/json"], json);

llOwnerSay("Message sent to Telegram: " + message);
}

on_rez(integer start_param)
{
llResetScript();
}

changed(integer change)
{
if (change & CHANGED_OWNER)
{
llResetScript();
}
}
}
Step 4: Set Up a Listener in LSL for Telegram Messages
If you want to receive messages from Telegram in OpenSimulator, you need to implement the send_message_to_sl function on your server and an HTTP server in LSL to listen for incoming messages.

Example of setting up an HTTP server in LSL:

lsl

default
{
state_entry()
{
llOwnerSay("Telegram listener script active.");
llHTTPRequest(webhook_url, [HTTP_METHOD, "POST", HTTP_MIMETYPE, "application/json"], json);
}

http_request(key request_id, string method, string body)
{
if (method == "POST")
{
// Decode the incoming message
string message = llJsonGetValue(body, ["message", "text"]);

// Send the message to local chat
llSay(0, "Telegram: " + message);
}
}
}
This setup involves running a server to handle the communication between OpenSimulator and Telegram. The example assumes familiarity with web server deployment. For a more robust solution, consider using a cloud service to host the server.
