A tree says: A kernel is hidden in me, a spark, a thought, I am life from eternal life. The attempt and the risk that the eternal mother took with me is unique, unique the form and veins of my skin, unique the smallest play of leaves in my branches and the smallest scar on my bark. I was made to form and reveal the eternal in my smallest special detail. ― Hermann Hesse, Bäume. Betrachtungen und Gedichte

The "corridors" in the library made by the shelves are really narrow. Not to mention frightening. There seems to be light at the end of this tunnel though.

For those who have gotten wind of current defamation and untruthful claims against *ES* and our pose store in copying poses from a rival pose store we filed a DMCA giving us the right to show all evidence of our creations upload dates etc etc filing a DMCA (which is a proper legal channel for any content theft..not just copyright =p covered under the act of the DMCA) in showing just the opposite..that the accusers have copied poses from *ES*.
The reason Linden Lab has this process is to hold providers liable for creations unique to individuals and items they create in SL. Just like skins or clothes which are not copyrighted in most cases.
The Blog below is written by an SL member who understands what DMCA's are. It further explains the DMCA process and issues we have gone through in our name being defamed. We urge you to read. Should anyone have questions you may feel free to IM us in-world or drop us a flickrmail.

Title: Knowledge Breaks Down Barriers Created By Ignorance
Artist: Raul Gonzalez
Painted: July - August 2010
Locale: Garfield, Phoenix, Arizona, USA
Narrative: Los Angeles-born artist Raul Gonzalez, along with youth from Phoenix chapters of Youth in Action and Chicanos Por La Causa, created this 6-foot-tall by 95-foot-wide mural. The design depicts many heroes of the Latino(a) experience, as well as family, culture, justice, and education imagery. The piece is not signed. As the artist puts it, "If we put our name on it, then it becomes the artist's piece and not the community's art. We want people to focus on the message and not the artist." This narrative was pulled together from various articles written about the mural, including the Phoenix New Times.

Folklore has it that the moon influences people's sleep. This theory probably stemmed from the knowledge that the moon influences water and the human body is made up of approximately 50-75% water. Still, there has been no study to confirm the folklore - until now.
According to The Independent, the international research community has been divided on this question for a long time, but now a highly controlled study has found evidence to support the ancient theory that indeed moon activity affects sleeping patterns among humans.
The study determining whether the Super Moon 2014 summer will affect us humans was led by Michael Smith at the University of Gothenburg in Sweden. According to the study, participants wake up more and sleep approximately 25 minutes less during full moon than at times with other moon phases.
Smith said, 'The rooms in our sleep laboratories do not have any windows. So the effect we found cannot be attributable to increased nocturnal light during a full moon.'
Astrologically speaking, a Supermoon is an intensified New Moon or Full Moon. With a New Moon you often focus on personal beginnings, however when a Supermoon is involved those new beginnings will take on an even greater momentous tone. The same applies to a Full Moon. Crescendos and culminations of events will seem even more dramatic and climactic.
The Moon is also associated with emotions and our feminine sides. When a Supermoon is involved expect to be even more emotional than usual. Tears and laughter will come more easily, moods will suffer extreme swings and there will be no shortage of drama—both good and bad.
The Moon’s effects will also cast its light on women in particular. Mothers, daughter, sisters and friends may be noticeably affected by the intensified energies. Husbands, fathers and boyfriends may be dismayed or exasperated by the behavior of females during these transits.Emotional storms will come and go.
These are opportunities for people to learn how to deal with feelings while developing patience and understanding. It is also a chance to grow closer. Not all emotions will be negative and floods of love and happiness can wash over us too.

Even though I read a lot (and forget most of the details). Before retiring in 2005 my job as a librarian was to catalog books and serials in a big academic library (FSU). Sometimes I would say that the flood of new and rehashed knowledge we handled kept reminding me of how much more ignorant I and every other individual was becoming, compared to the growing total of knowledge.

Ahmed Abiding
Challenging the fast-fashion industry
As a designer and owner of elkarti, a line of handmade luxury bags, Ahmed Abidine has two goals. He wants to make beautiful, useful accessories; and he wants to empower traditional Moroccan artists to become successful entrepreneurs.
The result is a production partnership with Morocco's Deaf Artisan Group of Marrakech, an organization that offers deaf people training and education to get them out of poverty and homelessness.
Ahmed describes his approach to business as, "following what really inspires me, and using it for the benefit of others. I love what I'm doing."
A native of Morocco, Ahmed developed a deep appreciation for fashion and fine craftsmanship while watching his grandfather make hand-crafted leather sandals and his mother design traditional Moroccan dresses. This artisan upbringing, combined with a flair for entrepreneurship, led Ahmed to study at Portland State University's School of Business, where he designed a sustainable business model for elkarti with the help of PSU's Social Innovation Incubator program.
"I wanted to understand sustainability and how to implement it in business. PSU taught me how to look at all the factors," says Ahmed. "Portland State gave me the visibility, the support and the confidence I needed to follow my dreams and make the world a little better. I wouldn't be doing what I'm doing without PSU."
