The next fine selection brought to you by the Homelandz Public Library is Zoo by James Patterson!

The novel centers on Jackson Oz, an outcast among professional and academic ecologists and biologists. Oz has tried for years to get other scientists to listen to the data he has collected on the increasing number of mammal attacks on humans. He becomes so obsessed with this goal that he quits graduate school and devotes himself to full-time data collection and arguing his case. Finally, on a trip to Botswana, he survives an attack by a large band of male lions in which about 100 people are killed over a large area. He saves the life of ecologist Chloe Tousignant. Upon returning to America, he finds his girlfriend dead in his apartment, killed and partly eaten by his pet chimpanzee.

Five years later, Oz has married Chloe and they have a son named Eli. His theory becomes accepted, as all over the world, packs of animals are entering densely populated cities and killing humans en masse. He is recruited by the US president to research the cause, but before he and his team of scientists can find an answer, the president's daughter is killed by their dog, and the military launches strikes against affected cities, which worsens the attacks. Continuing his research, Oz discovers that animal pheromones have changed due to the widespread use of radio communication (cell phones) and petroleum products (notably automobile exhaust), and these disrupted pheromones are enlarging the animals' amygdalas and causing the aggression. The US president orders all electricity, cellphone, and automobile usage banned for two weeks, and animal attacks cease nearly immediately as the ban takes effect. But after one week, people return to their previous habits, and the attacks restart with increased ferocity. Oz, his wife and son, along with some scientists and political leaders, are evacuated to Thule, Greenland, where research into how to reverse the changes will take place.

Approaching alpha. As that point draws closer, my work starts on promotional graphics and the visual design of the game. I came to Opensim from SL years ago to have the opportunity to work on a larger canvas and push the boundaries. Now I will have the largest canvas imaginable and I'm excited.

The developer and I met several years ago here on Opensim and collaborated on several fun projects, becoming fast friends. We developed the expanded concept for Starlite here, hoping to create and streamline a fork of OS code to fit our vision, but that was not possible. With the exception of the Vulkan renderer, everything else for Starlite was written from scratch.

💥 ATHENA – Vier Looks, ein Lebensgefühl 💥 Sie ist nicht hier, um sich anzupassen. Sie ist hier, um zu inspirieren. Die neue Kollektion zeigt Athena in vier Facetten – jede ein Statement, jede ein Moment.

👑 Royal Blue Ein Kleid wie ein Gemälde: tiefblau, mit goldenen Akzenten, die wie Sternenstaub wirken. Majestätisch und kraftvoll – für Göttinnen mit Haltung.

🔥 Street Rebel Grün trifft Rot, Crop trifft Cool. Dieses Outfit schreit nach Bewegung, Freiheit und einem Hauch Rebellion. Für alle, die Mode nicht tragen, sondern leben.

🌊 Pattern Play Ein Jumpsuit in Blau und Weiß, verspielt und doch strukturiert. Er erzählt von Sommernächten, urbaner Eleganz und dem Mut, anders zu sein.

🖤 Dark Desire Schwarze Straps, freche Schnitte, pure Verführung. Dieses Outfit ist kein Kompromiss – es ist ein Versprechen: Du wirst gesehen. Und nie vergessen.

✨ ATHENA bei BK-Mode – Wo Stil zur Superkraft wird.

Jetzt erhältlich im BK-Mode Shopping-Park.

Zieh an, was du fühlst. Sei, wer du bist.

So excited to be back on track for this spa I was working on. I want to thank Ares Halostar for the hard work in the scripts for my experiential shower.

A few more things to finish in there as well as signs then it should be complete.

However, I have noticed that ive had to rebuild the Sauna's twice now as they just went poof lol. So that could delay me again

V for Vendetta (Graphic Novel) by Alan Moore & David LLoyd:

V for Vendetta is a British graphic novel written by Alan Moore and illustrated by David Lloyd (with additional art by Tony Weare). Initially published between 1982 and 1985 in black and white as an ongoing serial in the British anthology Warrior, its serialisation was completed in 1988–89 in a ten-issue colour limited series published by DC Comics in the United States. Subsequent collected editions were typically published under DC's specialised imprint, Vertigo, until that label was shut down in 2018. Since then it has been transferred to DC Black Label. The story depicts a dystopian and post-apocalyptic near-future history version of the United Kingdom in the 1990s, preceded by a nuclear war in the 1980s that devastated most of the rest of the world. The Nordic supremacist,neo-fascist,outwardly Christofascistic, and homophobic fictional Norsefire political party has exterminated its opponents in concentration camps, and it now rules the country as a police state.

The comics follow the story's title character and protagonist, V, an anarchist revolutionary dressed in a Guy Fawkes mask, as he begins an elaborate and theatrical revolutionist campaign to kill his former captors, bring down the fascist state, and convince the people to abandon fascism in favour of anarchy, while inspiring a young woman, Evey Hammond, to be his protégée.

The X in Sex - by David Bainbridge (How the X Chromosome Controls Our Lives)

"The X in Sex" by David Bainbridge explores the history and impact of the X chromosome, a tiny piece of genetic information that determines sex and influences various aspects of life, from disease susceptibility to cultural perceptions of gender. The book delves into how the X chromosome evolved, how it interacts with the Y chromosome, and how it shapes our understanding of human evolution and nature.

I have a new garage for you, and I've fixed the other garages, so that you can collect them. I had them set to copy, and that doesn't always work, so I boxed them and set the boxes for sale. I hope this helps. Please let me know if you have any issues. Find them near the big NEW sign.

Just in case you want to teleport to Mittelmeer in expectation of a party because it has the most avatars present...

...this is not a party.

We're holding the obsequies for the sim owner, Freddy Nightmare, who has moved on to the Big Skyplatform on August 1st.

If you want to come in and join anyway, you're highly advised to dress accordingly, i.e. in black.

Thank you for your attention.

We've realized the swimming orbs often reset to private once the grid gets a restart.

Apologies for this inconvenience and we are working on resetting to public where the orbs are located, the ones at Paradise are reset at the main beach!

Also plenty of places still to rent in the Caribbean Shores! :)

THE BEACH ...

Dear friends,

today i will play some music again, mainly from 70ies to 90ies.
The location is the festival market again.

The party starts at 21 h in Europe means Noon Grid Time.
https://opensimworld.com/events/124994

This market is open for you to make publicity for your events, products, locations or services.
Just put your stuff in one of the free little shops.
Concerning the play money, is it confusing that it cant be exchanged to Euros
and only is a internal currency to play with?
Please tell me what you think of these cozy dollars?
We could stop using them and set all to 0 units....

Second topic is the information that i updated 7 skyboxes on osgrid at Toscanila!
If you have an osgrid account you can rent these skyboxes and set home there.
Without osgrid account you can still rent but not set home.

Are you a good scripter? I had my first success creating a script with chat gpt for an oracle.
You can come to Festival Market and take a copy of the Oracle....
Feel free to change the questions on the list, the design and whatever you want.
I would need help to create a good visitor profile pictures board and some other projects.

Now for today, bring your friends and surprise us with a hippie outfit if you have...
Maybe there will be optional dresscodes in the future.

today: dress like 70ies!

See you later?

Another fine addition for you hopeless romantics out there...find this and other great books at the Homelandz Opensim Public Library!

In Nicholas Sparks' novel The Rescue, volunteer firefighter Taylor McAden is drawn to single mother Denise Holton, after he rescues her and her son, Kyle, following a car accident during a storm. While searching for Kyle, who was missing after the crash, Taylor and Denise connect, but Taylor struggles with his past and commitment issues, particularly his father's death. The novel explores themes of love, loss, and the possibility of finding happiness after trauma, as Taylor and Denise navigate their relationship and personal struggles.

Where do i even begin with this book...Fight Club obviously captivated me enough to read more of Mr. Palahniuk's novels...and gosh am I happy I did. But I have to admit...this one even shocked *me*, from chapter 1.

A gang of adolescent terrorists, a spelling bee, and a terrible plan masquerading as a science project: This is Operation Havoc.

Pygmy is one of a handful of young adults from a totalitarian state sent to the U.S. , disguised as exchange students. Living with American families to blend in, they are planning an unspecified act of massive terrorism that will bring this big dumb country and its fat dumb inhabitants to their knees. In his finest novel since the generation-defining Fight Club, Palahniuk depicts Midwestern life through the eyes of this indoctrinated little killer.
