" "What would Buddha do to search for perfect knowledge ?"
"Your mind becomes Buddha.
Your mind is Buddha.
All the Buddhas' ocean of perfect knowledge begins in your very mind and thought."
(Amitayur Dhyana Sutra 17)
Buddha doesn't have to do anything to gain perfect knowledge.
He knows he has it already.
He knows we have it already.
But someone we seem to be left out of the loop.
How ironic that we don't know we have perfect knowledge !
What went wrong ?"
(From "What would Buddha do ?" by Franz Metcalf)
Those two Tibetan monks were under the Bodhi Tree which is behind the Mahabodhi Temple, the place of Gautama Buddha's attainment of nirvana (Enlightenment), in Bodh Gaya (बोधगया), in the Indian state of Bihar.

TRADITON AND ANTITRADITION
291. Tradition means a handing over: the handing over of a supertemporal circle of principles here in time.
292. Tradition is the atemporal thrown into temporality.
293. Knowledge of the origin, knowledge of the path, knowledge of the all-transcending, ultimate goal: this is metaphysical tradition.
294. Tradition springs forth from the eternal, points at the eternal, and in the human modality of being represents the aspiration towards the eternal.
295. Metaphysical tradition is at the same time solar and polar: polar for though it appears in the earthly-human sphere, yet it is of heavenly origin and for this reason its origin is not subject to the whirlpool of existence (samsara), it is solar for the powers characteristic of my self-awareness which provide the rule of the auton are present in it.
296. There is only one primordial tradition for there is only one metaphysics, and there is only one metaphysics for there is only one being.
297. Tradition can never be identified simply with metaphysical doctrines or with symbology bearing a doctrinal value, and even less with the archaic documents that present these. Tradition is the total acceptance of a world and the total denial of another.
298. Metaphysically speaking, tradition is nothing other than »remembrance«, and the bearing of the connection with the origin. Modernity, however, is not only the lack of this »remembrance«, but at the same time the denial of this metaphysical »remembrance« and aims at the destruction of every kind of representation of remembrance.

The Madrasa Ben Youssef, an architectural treasure nestled in the heart of the old Medina of Marrakech, echoes the sounds of a glorious past and embodies an invaluable historical significance. It transports visitors to a fascinating era where art, knowledge, and culture flourished. The Ben Youssef Medersa was constructed by Sultan Abdullah Al-Ghaleb Assaadi between the years 1564 and 1565...
The Tree of Knowledge is a ghost gum located in front of the railway station at Barcaldine, under which the workers of the 1891 Shearer's Strike met. An icon of the Labor Party and Trades Unions, it symbolises the foundation of the organised representation of labour in Queensland.
Barcaldine sprang up in 1886 as the terminus of the Central Railway. The area was already settled by pastoralists and had previously been centred on Blackall. Large sheep stations were like small townships with their own working facilities, stores, worker's accommodation and tradesmen such as blacksmiths. The owners and managers of these stations had considerable power to dictate terms to an itinerant workforce recruited for the shearing season. Poor working conditions, low pay and the threat of competition from cheap foreign labour caused discontent within the industry.
Barcaldine was a natural focus for the development of unionism. As the railhead, the town drew many seasonal and casual workers. Besides shearers and hands there were navvies who had worked on the construction of the railway and carriers who had found their work reduced by it. Difficulties in finding work and financial hardship helped to build a sense of mateship and mutual support amongst sections of them. In 1887 the Central Queensland Carriers Union was formed, and discussions leading up to this are said to have been held under the gum tree which provided shade where carriers waited at the front of the railway station. At the same time, the Queensland Shearers' Union was formed at Blackall. Within a year it had 1300 members, indicating a perceived need for collective bargaining to obtain fair pay and working conditions. In 1888 the Central Queensland Labourers' Union was formed at Barcaldine. These three unions were the driving force behind the strike of 1891.
In Brisbane, the Trades and Labour Council was formed in 1885 and in 1889 became the Australian Labour Federation. At Barcaldine in the same year the Pastoral Employers' Association was founded in response and moved to reduce pay rates. Many workers now joined the unions, pushing membership of the Shearers Union over 3000 and the Labourer's Union to 2,250. Only severe wet weather in 1890 delayed a confrontation. By January 1891 union representatives had gathered at Barcaldine for meetings and pastoralists were pressing shearers to sign freedom of contract forms. A strike was called and employers began to import non-union labour from the south. Strikers, some of whom were armed, gathered at Barcaldine and set up a camp at Lagoon Creek and other places around the town.
The government dispatched police and soldiers to the area and the strikers responded by drilling and staging torchlight processions in the town. The tree in front of the station, the Tree of Knowledge, was the location of many meetings and a focus for protest. In March the situation escalated as carriers and railway workers went out in sympathy and military reinforcements arrived. Barcaldine became the focus of the whole country's interest and armed conflict was expected. However, heavy rain which limited movement and the arrest of leaders slowed momentum and strikers began to disperse. On 15 June the strike was officially called off. It had failed, but was to have far reaching effects. The following year, T.J. Ryan became the first representative of labour to be elected to the Queensland Parliament and soon after the Labor Party in Queensland was formed.
Because the area beneath the Tree of Knowledge was the scene of actions and decisions which had a profound effect on the future of labour and politics in Australia, it has become an icon of the Labor Party and Trades Unions. It is also important to the people of Barcaldine as a symbol of the town's identity and historical importance. This is reflected by the name chosen for the commemoration committee formed in 1987, the Tree of Knowledge Development Committee, and by the care given to the tree. In 1990 it was discovered that the tree was infested by termites and other insects and had severe health problems. Treatment by a tree surgeon, pest control and flushing of the root system with thousands of litres of water gave the tree a new lease of life. This treatment was completed in late 1993.
In 1991, there were major celebrations at Barcaldine to mark the centenary of the Shearers' Strike. In preparation for this, the area around the tree was landscaped and a memorial to the strikers erected within the enclosure.

"No man can reveal to you aught but that which already lies half asleep in the dawning of your knowledge.
The teacher who walks in the shadow of the temple, among his followers, gives not of his wisdom but rather of his faith and his lovingness.
If he is indeedwise he does not bid you enter the house of his wisdom, but rather leads you to the threshold of your own mind."
(From "The Prophet" by Khalil Gibran - Lebanese American artist, poet, and writer, 1883–1931)
The words of Khalil Gibran are oftenly coming to my mind whenever I walk along the Ganges in Varanasi (Benaras).

Strange things did happened sometimes in Ko-Metru. Sudden Ice blockades in undamaged floors, Cleared storages of "Knowledge Crystals" without any problems, and Matorans disappearing without any sing. Secciv did notice that some Matorans that have been find did shown no psychical harm or anything mental problems detectable by Mask's, had been asking more and more information about the location of smaller rooms containing data about "Knowledge Chrystals" storages. Secciv did reported this, but she did only get a reply saying "That no knowledge should be hidden!" a reply of that kind that is more like belongs to a somewhere to the "lifestyle" section than an any actual helping. Secciv was encouraged about this and felt that there is something between these things.
(This was the 3th part of the journey of Toa Secciv! The next part is in the "Hello my Friend" picture!)
I also have to admit that all of the 6 Silver Toa Secciv does have the best internal design in my opinion!
I did not give any of the organs any purpose but I would love to see that somebody labelling them! :D
Feel free to do it in the comment section!
If somebody does it I would happily make an another picture of her with those labels in it! :D

Thank you to Fraulein Simoneaux for leading a fun and informative discussion on women in 1929 and how to incorporate our knowledge of the period into our rp. Here's a copy of the discussion for those of you who couldn't make it. My apologies for not cleaning up the typos! ~ Zoe
_____
Zoe Foodiboo: For those of you just coming in, this is Fraulein Teruumi Simoneaux.
Zoe Foodiboo: Alf!
Zoe Foodiboo: oops
Karlin Lutrova: what an OUT rage
Zoe Foodiboo: Anyway, she's our newest librarian/archivist. Please welcome her.
Rosemary Thyme Chesnokova (MsRosemaryThyme Resident): guten abend
Karlin Lutrova: /me giggle soflty " no matter, I make my own coffee at home "
Adele Kling: Welcome!
Tequila Mockingbird (Tequila Krovac): /me claps
Alf Korhonen: Guten Tag Alle!
Adele Kling: Hallo, Rosemary
Gustav von Rosenheim (gustav2005 Resident): /me claps
Tequila Mockingbird (Tequila Krovac): Guten tag Alf
Teruumi Jacqueline Simoneaux (Korina Asamoah): Danke! I'm very excited!
Jani (Janire Coba): guten tag *smiles
Lori Miles (Lorelai Winslet): Very nice to meet you, Frl. Simoneaux
Zoe Foodiboo: We had a wonderful discussion in the library last weekend and we were so excited about it, we thought we’d expand it to include all of you.
webspelunker Ghostraven: Hello Alf!
Zoe Foodiboo: Hallo Rose!
Zoe Foodiboo: Hallo Alf!
Rosemary Thyme Chesnokova (MsRosemaryThyme Resident): Hallo Alf, Nice to see you
Karlin Lutrova: /me notices the film directoer and trys to look her best
Zoe Foodiboo: Anyway, I'll be quiet and let Frl Teruumi get the ball rolling.
Tequila Mockingbird (Tequila Krovac): RoseMary! Hello dear
Zoe Foodiboo: Teruumi?
Alf Korhonen: Crowded here!
Gustav von Rosenheim (gustav2005 Resident): Yes, indeed. Crowded :))
Zoe Foodiboo: whispers: Does everyone have a place to sit?
Teruumi Jacqueline Simoneaux (Korina Asamoah): /me clears her throat and begins composing a thought "Danke Zoe"
Alf Korhonen: May I join your table, Karlin?
Gustav von Rosenheim (gustav2005 Resident): There's one seat next to me.
Zoe Foodiboo: Someone can havve my chair...I can rez my own.
Karlin Lutrova: would be a pleasure
Rosemary Thyme Chesnokova (MsRosemaryThyme Resident): there are seats available
Alf Korhonen: Danke
Gustav von Rosenheim (gustav2005 Resident): Oh no, two seats.
Zoe Foodiboo: oh okay
Karlin Lutrova: gerne Mein Herr
Teruumi Jacqueline Simoneaux (Korina Asamoah): As Fraulein Zoe mentioned we had a lovely chat about women last week
Alf Korhonen: I like women too!
Zoe Foodiboo: /me giggles, "I bet you do..."
Gustav von Rosenheim (gustav2005 Resident): /me chuckles
Adele Kling: haha
Karlin Lutrova: /me coughs a giggle
Teruumi Jacqueline Simoneaux (Korina Asamoah): I noticed that many people not even involved with Berlin or SL in general had a very one sided view of what women were like during the 20s
Zoe Foodiboo: whispers: Hallo Fraulein, have a seat
Greta Fuchsin (GretaFuchsin Resident): /me whispers Hello Whispy
Teruumi Jacqueline Simoneaux (Korina Asamoah): I think we all can agree that most likely the flapper is a reaction to WWI. and the outdated society model
Karlin Lutrova: /me nods
whispy (whispy Darkstone): hello my dear
Gustav von Rosenheim (gustav2005 Resident): /me nods
whispy (whispy Darkstone): /me looks round smiling at the people around her
Adele Kling: Yes
Teruumi Jacqueline Simoneaux (Korina Asamoah): And women cut their hair, started smoking, the corset was dumped. Women started to gain a voice in the society
Jani (Janire Coba): /me nods
Zoe Foodiboo: /me smiles and smokes
Tequila Mockingbird (Tequila Krovac): and they had jobs, so they had 'economic power', no?
Teruumi Jacqueline Simoneaux (Korina Asamoah): Exactly
Gustav von Rosenheim (gustav2005 Resident): indeed
Karlin Lutrova: well I knew I was smokin' but had no idea it was public knowledge
Karlin Lutrova: my late husband thought so anyway ........
Teruumi Jacqueline Simoneaux (Korina Asamoah): and then I thought we roleplay women in 1929. When we look at our RL selves we can notice a change. We are influenced by all kinds of different global and private events and happenings and it changes us as people
Teruumi Jacqueline Simoneaux (Korina Asamoah): But we in SL are stuck in a way, especially here in Berlin because we replay the events of 1929 but none of us have lived during that time so we can only trust our imagination
Adele Kling: and history
Zoe Foodiboo: imagination but also rooted in our research...
Jani (Janire Coba): true
Zoe Foodiboo: yes, Adele
Gustav von Rosenheim (gustav2005 Resident): yes.
Teruumi Jacqueline Simoneaux (Korina Asamoah): yes, of course
Karlin Lutrova: /me nods
Tequila Mockingbird (Tequila Krovac): well I guess reading about the time gives us a better idea to know what to imagine...
Adele Kling: and Jo, lol
Teruumi Jacqueline Simoneaux (Korina Asamoah): Jo of course!
Zoe Foodiboo: Reading....and looking at photos
Tequila Mockingbird (Tequila Krovac): hahaha Addie
Greta Fuchsin (GretaFuchsin Resident): And OUR interpretation of how people felt.
Jani (Janire Coba): yes
Tequila Mockingbird (Tequila Krovac): and also movies
Zoe Foodiboo: Yes, how can we forget Jo. Our high priestess of the 20s
Gustav von Rosenheim (gustav2005 Resident): /me nods
whispy (whispy Darkstone): i agree i think fact fiction film all help understand and enhance rp
Karlin Lutrova: yes, and stories from relatives
Zoe Foodiboo: oh yes, good point Karlin
Karlin Lutrova: that were there I mean
Tequila Mockingbird (Tequila Krovac): unfortunately I do not have relatives that old… :(
Teruumi Jacqueline Simoneaux (Korina Asamoah): And on that note I thought it would be great for us to meet and discuss how can we enhance our roleplay
Karlin Lutrova: yeah, gives me a sense of some reality to it
Gustav von Rosenheim (gustav2005 Resident): /me nods
Jani (Janire Coba): yes, that'd be great for me since i'm new to Berlín
Karlin Lutrova: ( oh Mutti and Vati and Ottoa are all gone )
Zoe Foodiboo: Great for me, too. I often forget myself and chatter OOC stuff at inappropriate times.
Karlin Lutrova: me also
Mab Ashdene: Are there more women in Berlin than men?
Zoe Foodiboo: Yes, still.
Karlin Lutrova: rp Berlin right?
Mab Ashdene: That makes it hard.
Zoe Foodiboo: But more men seem to stay.
Mab Ashdene: Yes
webspelunker Ghostraven: Maybe because of that little misunderstanding...
webspelunker Ghostraven: The Great War.
whispy (whispy Darkstone): from my experience there are always more female avs than male
Tequila Mockingbird (Tequila Krovac): Have you seen Boardwalk, the series? I think that show is well in terms of research regarding our time
Teruumi Jacqueline Simoneaux (Korina Asamoah): For example, I did some reading here and there and I found information that by 1928 there was a new kind of flapper evolved. She danced, smoked, drove cars but she was a lot tamer from the first flappers
Karlin Lutrova: yes, Second Life™ is a women's shopping paradise
Zoe Foodiboo: Boardwalk Empire? Yes, I love it as a resource. Well, and it's entertaining.
Mab Ashdene: There are no men playing the roles of fathers or husbands.
Adele Kling: Thats interesting.
Karlin Lutrova: simply put
Mab Ashdene: Or only a few.
Adele Kling: Its early 20s, BE
webspelunker Ghostraven: Maybe because they're all dead?
Zoe Foodiboo: Tamer in what ways, Teruummi?
Jani (Janire Coba): oh, i got addicted to 20s since i watched Boardwalk Empire *laughs
whispy (whispy Darkstone): I think a sharing of resources for rp ers is always a good idea
Gustav von Rosenheim (gustav2005 Resident): I think Web is saying a good point.
Karlin Lutrova: Mutti said thee were very few men in those years anyway too
Mab Ashdene: Without the sense of having a man around or a mother around who cares what we do it is easy to go wild an play a flapper.
Teruumi Jacqueline Simoneaux (Korina Asamoah): They didn't participate in petting parties, wore a lot less makeup
webspelunker Ghostraven: TY
Teruumi Jacqueline Simoneaux (Korina Asamoah): Some didn't even smoke or drink alcohol
Gustav von Rosenheim (gustav2005 Resident): Recently I'd found out that learning about 1910s is very important to understand 1920s Berlin.
Adele Kling: Petting parties! Haven't been invited to one in years!
webspelunker Ghostraven: They sound like nuns!
Zoe Foodiboo: How so, Herr Gustav?
Greta Fuchsin (GretaFuchsin Resident): They were becoming more respectable and "professional"
Karlin Lutrova: good to point out Gustav
Gustav von Rosenheim (gustav2005 Resident): I guess 1920s Berlin or German, is quite similar to 1960s.
Zoe Foodiboo: Now that's an interesting analogy...
Gustav von Rosenheim (gustav2005 Resident): Lots of men dead or gone. And hunger gave women to position to work in society.
whispy (whispy Darkstone): and politics
webspelunker Ghostraven: That's a good point that others have made too...
Gustav von Rosenheim (gustav2005 Resident): Work in a society as a matter of course.
Gustav von Rosenheim (gustav2005 Resident): Amazingly watching the movie, "Berlin Symphony"
Mab Ashdene: That is interesting.
webspelunker Ghostraven: Otto Friedrich wrote of that.
Tequila Mockingbird (Tequila Krovac): I think there is a lack of older women also, and we have to consider that not all the females were flappers. That was actually a minority, as I understand
Gustav von Rosenheim (gustav2005 Resident): We all notice how many women are working in office.
Zoe Foodiboo: Good point, Tequila.
Mab Ashdene: When the pimp left the brothel, the women took over the running of the place.
Gustav von Rosenheim (gustav2005 Resident): And commuting. That's veyr interesting.
Teruumi Jacqueline Simoneaux (Korina Asamoah): Very good point indeed
Greta Fuchsin (GretaFuchsin Resident): Yes that is a great movie
Adele Kling: Yes, Flappers were young
Gustav von Rosenheim (gustav2005 Resident): YEs, Tequila.
Greta Fuchsin (GretaFuchsin Resident): Has anyone watched the 13 hour "berlin Alexanderplatz"
Zoe Foodiboo: But there's a whole spectrum of women not represented in our Berlin.
Karlin Lutrova: very true , flappers where thought of as dirty by some of the echelon of high society
Greta Fuchsin (GretaFuchsin Resident): Plaenty or rp material there
Adele Kling: I love Berlin Alexanderplatz, until the end.
webspelunker Ghostraven: Who, Zoe?
Tequila Mockingbird (Tequila Krovac): And not all young females were flappers...it was only the daring, bold, young females
Karlin Lutrova: /me nods
Teruumi Jacqueline Simoneaux (Korina Asamoah): Yes!
Rosemary Thyme Chesnokova (MsRosemaryThyme Resident): sure, i've never viewed my character as a flapper
Greta Fuchsin (GretaFuchsin Resident): Who Zoe?
Zoe Foodiboo: Older women...yes, as Tequila said, women who weren't as bold as to become a Flapper
Adele Kling: Nor mine.
Greta Fuchsin (GretaFuchsin Resident): /me looks puzzled and curious
Jani (Janire Coba): i'd appreciate if someone knew about some films of Berlin in the 20s ((sorry for interrupting))
Rosemary Thyme Chesnokova (MsRosemaryThyme Resident): or middleaged women
Alf Korhonen: Der Letzte Mann I think
Adele Kling: About Berlin in the 20s, or shot in the 20s?
Rosemary Thyme Chesnokova (MsRosemaryThyme Resident): apart from frau Yardley, there aren't any middleaged women in Berlin as far as i can remember
Jani (Janire Coba): both would be useful to me
Mab Ashdene: There was Babette Darkfold.
Teruumi Jacqueline Simoneaux (Korina Asamoah): Yes, that's true
Zoe Foodiboo: No. We had a grandma type when Bubbe was here but she's long gone.
Zoe Foodiboo: Well, and Vera's mom. But she rarely makes an appearance as well.
Greta Fuchsin (GretaFuchsin Resident): Look up early Fritz Lang movies Janire to start with
Angello Valerian: the great gastby, chanel and stravinsky, therese...
Adele Kling: I can get you a list of films, Jani.
whispy (whispy Darkstone): i came to berlin as a young modern woman, but now have bought this alt along, as a much much older woman, out of interest to how folk react, plus as a very political, perhaps even not as sweet old lady as she looks
Jani (Janire Coba): thanks greta :)
Zoe Foodiboo: Aside from it being difficult to find older women skins and shapes, I'm not sure why I continue to be a young woman as a character in Berlin.
Teruumi Jacqueline Simoneaux (Korina Asamoah): I think another thing we don't have is a clear social structure
Zoe Foodiboo: Hi Claire
ClaireDeAir: hiya
Gustav von Rosenheim (gustav2005 Resident): That's very interesting, Whispy.
Angello Valerian: Guten Abend
Karlin Lutrova: oh! i just saw that 13 hour film was a television series
ClaireDeAir: How are you?
Adele Kling: Hallo Claire
ClaireDeAir: hiya
webspelunker Ghostraven: Hello Claire!
webspelunker Ghostraven: Doing fine, how're you?
Rosemary Thyme Chesnokova (MsRosemaryThyme Resident): the "social structure" such as it is, is very much based on where we live
Tequila Mockingbird (Tequila Krovac): Oh, I think there is also a huge woman, I think she is named Lolle...?
Rosemary Thyme Chesnokova (MsRosemaryThyme Resident): and it is not clear
Rosemary Thyme Chesnokova (MsRosemaryThyme Resident): she's not huge, just curvy
ClaireDeAir: wow I have never seen this many people in here before hehehe
whispy (whispy Darkstone): could the list of films go in a group notice as i would be interested please
Angello Valerian: great idea, would be a great help
Adele Kling: Ok, I can do that whispy. Sometime this week : )
Zoe Foodiboo: I love Lolle's look.
Zoe Foodiboo: and her apartment is lovely. very realistic.
Jani (Janire Coba): oh yes, thanks for the films
Rosemary Thyme Chesnokova (MsRosemaryThyme Resident): yes it is
Tequila Mockingbird (Tequila Krovac): how old is Lolle supposed to be?
whispy (whispy Darkstone): i have looked for good older skins and shapes for ages now i have managed to get a look i want slightly older than i ideally wanted, but i am looking forward to developing this look
Rosemary Thyme Chesnokova (MsRosemaryThyme Resident): i've always thought around late 20s early 30s
Rosemary Thyme Chesnokova (MsRosemaryThyme Resident): but i don't know
Zoe Foodiboo: I'm not sure. She's a mother so I would imagine not that old.
Tequila Mockingbird (Tequila Krovac): OK
Gustav von Rosenheim (gustav2005 Resident): Finding a good "aged" skin is bit tough in SL....
Karlin Lutrova: oh, one good shop for older type skins is MB Skins
Rosemary Thyme Chesnokova (MsRosemaryThyme Resident): it is
Rosemary Thyme Chesnokova (MsRosemaryThyme Resident): easier for men actually
Mab Ashdene: Maybe we should all have children and age.
Gustav von Rosenheim (gustav2005 Resident): Oh really? I must checked it. Thanks Karlin :)
Karlin Lutrova: femme older skins I should add
Karlin Lutrova: yes, well made age skins seem few and far between
Zoe Foodiboo: I have a question. In what ways do you behave different here in Berlin as opposed to other places in SL, as a nod to historical accuracy. Aside from your appearance, I mean?
Karlin Lutrova: most looks like they ahve mud plastered faice makes lol
ClaireDeAir: lol
Tequila Mockingbird (Tequila Krovac): Well, modesty, language...
Rosemary Thyme Chesnokova (MsRosemaryThyme Resident): i play more roles here
Adele Kling: Role-playing here is very relaxed. I try to use jargon (American) from the time.
Rosemary Thyme Chesnokova (MsRosemaryThyme Resident): i even call them cartoon characters
Jani (Janire Coba): well, i used to rp in versailles, and language of course was different, and protocole was super important there
Karlin Lutrova: well, that was the acccepted values
Teruumi Jacqueline Simoneaux (Korina Asamoah): I come here roleplay so as I said when we spoke last week, I try to approach it as a writer
Tequila Mockingbird (Tequila Krovac): the way we intercat as well...it it seems to be more respectful
Rosemary Thyme Chesnokova (MsRosemaryThyme Resident): and i never use long paragraphs, mainly because i don't have the patience for it
Jani (Janire Coba): here i act like.. women arr feeling more free
Zoe Foodiboo: Yes, I agree, protocol and respect here is highly valued.
Adele Kling: Respect, proper use of titles.
Mab Ashdene: I only ever roleplay here.
Karlin Lutrova: para rpl is difficult for me also
Rosemary Thyme Chesnokova (MsRosemaryThyme Resident): and those who are NOT respectful, are doing it as part of RP
Zoe Foodiboo: I forget myself with that, sometimes, Adele.
Teruumi Jacqueline Simoneaux (Korina Asamoah): Me too
Rosemary Thyme Chesnokova (MsRosemaryThyme Resident): (thinking of a dark alt)
Adele Kling: For me too, Karlin. I'm not that creative.
Karlin Lutrova: rude r p can be dicely though
Tequila Mockingbird (Tequila Krovac): also I do not think we rp like goreans…they tend to make super long literate statements in each sentence
Rosemary Thyme Chesnokova (MsRosemaryThyme Resident): also it slows down the interaction a bit, doing long paragraphs
Rosemary Thyme Chesnokova (MsRosemaryThyme Resident): but i don't mind others doing it
whispy (whispy Darkstone): i research all my roles then use my imagination... i mainly use fantasy based on mythology but always with lots of research often to be disapointed that what the sim declares does not happen ie as in much rp,,, mostly occ chat but here i have seen much potential
Jani (Janire Coba): sometimes i just stay quiet and listen cause i'm super respectful with the rp and if i notice my english can be a bit poor, just.. listen and smile hahaha
Karlin Lutrova: yes para rp I found is hard to keep a temp o
Teruumi Jacqueline Simoneaux (Korina Asamoah): true
Karlin Lutrova: so to speak
Zoe Foodiboo: Oh, don't worry about your English, Jani :)
Rosemary Thyme Chesnokova (MsRosemaryThyme Resident): i think that is very common for newcomers, Jani, just checking how it works in the sim, listening and learning
Zoe Foodiboo: It's an international city after all
Jani (Janire Coba): oh yes, till i finish my english degree i must stay quiet, read and learn
Rosemary Thyme Chesnokova (MsRosemaryThyme Resident): i did that as well when i was new
Jani (Janire Coba): hahah
Zoe Foodiboo: True, Rose.
Gustav von Rosenheim (gustav2005 Resident): I agree Rosemary.
Teruumi Jacqueline Simoneaux (Korina Asamoah): I gave this example to Herr Web yesterday. Imagine five people sitting at a table
Jani (Janire Coba): aham
Karlin Lutrova: to be , it is just talking like from a script, not reciting some novel
Gustav von Rosenheim (gustav2005 Resident): /me nods
Karlin Lutrova: to be **
Teruumi Jacqueline Simoneaux (Korina Asamoah): Two are fully IC, two are fully OOC and one is a newbie
Teruumi Jacqueline Simoneaux (Korina Asamoah): It confuses people
Karlin Lutrova: yes, very much
Adele Kling: Yes
Teruumi Jacqueline Simoneaux (Korina Asamoah): I felt very confused at first as to who is who
Gustav von Rosenheim (gustav2005 Resident): indeed
Jani (Janire Coba): haha yes
Karlin Lutrova: I have been in rp sims where it was VERY strict
Tequila Mockingbird (Tequila Krovac): haha
Karlin Lutrova: OOC an y ou got in trouble
Jani (Janire Coba): unless they use this "(())" double.. thingies ^^
Karlin Lutrova: here, find it confusing
Rosemary Thyme Chesnokova (MsRosemaryThyme Resident): that is why i think the double paragraphs ((like this)) is good to use when OOC
Zoe Foodiboo: I agree, Rose.
Angello Valerian: indeed
Karlin Lutrova: never srue if someone is OOC or not at times
Tequila Mockingbird (Tequila Krovac): agreed
Zoe Foodiboo: I must remember to use them.
Rosemary Thyme Chesnokova (MsRosemaryThyme Resident): even if i think we all forget it now and then
Jani (Janire Coba): paragraphs! thanks for the word haha
Karlin Lutrova: true**
Adele Kling: Yes, Berlin is lite-RP, so far.
Karlin Lutrova: /me nods
Rosemary Thyme Chesnokova (MsRosemaryThyme Resident): i don't think i would like it if it was that incredibly strict
Zoe Foodiboo: Me neither.
Adele Kling: Which is fine.
whispy (whispy Darkstone): no one can apologise for their english not being good especially if it is a second or third language, some of us who are english academics are also dyslexic and out english appears awfully :D
Karlin Lutrova: I am nver good with vague rules lol
Gustav von Rosenheim (gustav2005 Resident): me neither
Zoe Foodiboo: But too loose isn't fun either....I guess we need to find that pleasant balance...
Jani (Janire Coba): haha whispy
Karlin Lutrova: I just try to deal with it =)
Tequila Mockingbird (Tequila Krovac): Yet rp is an area of opportunity
Teruumi Jacqueline Simoneaux (Korina Asamoah): I agree Zoe
Karlin Lutrova: me too!
Tequila Mockingbird (Tequila Krovac): agree Zoe
Karlin Lutrova: may I mention?
webspelunker Ghostraven: ((For the record I'm a Marxist in RP and RL.))
Karlin Lutrova: IM ing in the middle of RP is also confusing
Karlin Lutrova: like " is this IM roleplay ? or OOC"
Greta Fuchsin (GretaFuchsin Resident): When I came here, I was scared to death about the roleplaying.I wasn't sure what to expect. Listening to some of the residents showed me how to be "me" but still "in character". I try to keep in character but be me also.
Zoe Foodiboo: Oh, I always consider IM to be OOC.
Karlin Lutrova: its not possible in Real Life™ at any rate
Karlin Lutrova: I am find that to be a good idea Zoe
Teruumi Jacqueline Simoneaux (Korina Asamoah): I let people know when IIM them IC
Jani (Janire Coba): me too , greta
Teruumi Jacqueline Simoneaux (Korina Asamoah): but usually I keep IMs for OOC business
Karlin Lutrova: I unintentionally have offended some because
Karlin Lutrova: I have learned to " keep rp firends in the rp sims"
Adele Kling: I try not to IM at all while in RP. If there one thing I hate is when I enter a room and everyone is quiet, sending IMs, instead of being engaged in RP chat.
Karlin Lutrova: other wise it get's too involved
Karlin Lutrova: if that makes any sense to anyone
Mab Ashdene: I like involved.
Adele Kling: It does.
Rosemary Thyme Chesnokova (MsRosemaryThyme Resident): me too Mab
Zoe Foodiboo: oh....I'm terribly guilty of that, adele. :P
Karlin Lutrova: what happens here , stays here
Jani (Janire Coba): hahaha
Karlin Lutrova: RP wise
Adele Kling: haha
Rosemary Thyme Chesnokova (MsRosemaryThyme Resident): but i think i'm guilty of it too
Karlin Lutrova: lol, I sound like mafioso
Zoe Foodiboo: But I will try to be better from now on!
Jani (Janire Coba): i use ims to ask about any rule, or doubt, or business
Rosemary Thyme Chesnokova (MsRosemaryThyme Resident): especially since i have a husband who is very fond of IM :P
Karlin Lutrova: agrees with Janire
Adele Kling: haha, Rosemary
Zoe Foodiboo: /me wiggles her eyebrows at Rose
Karlin Lutrova: well, that is ,,, a different scenario
Greta Fuchsin (GretaFuchsin Resident): Let's face it. Some things will not translate from the 1920's to the 21st century. We, not matter how much research we do, will not be perfect 1920's people. But we can also respect the time we are in here and act as close to the times as we can.
Zoe Foodiboo: absolutely, Greta
Jani (Janire Coba): agrees
Karlin Lutrova: to be candid, the rules do indeed say to keep , uh,,, private things in IM
Karlin Lutrova: its in the tenant rules
Tequila Mockingbird (Tequila Krovac): I think in order to have a better rp, we all must have our roles clear…otherwise the local chat is simply not interesting
Zoe Foodiboo: I think we all do....
Karlin Lutrova: tell your husband that lol
Zoe Foodiboo: Er, I mean they all do. Not me. I'm never naughty.
Zoe Foodiboo: lol
Jani (Janire Coba): hahaha karlin
Adele Kling: /me coughs
Karlin Lutrova: /me coughs too
Mab Ashdene: Tell us about your youth and innocence, Zoe.
Teruumi Jacqueline Simoneaux (Korina Asamoah): Of course, but say you walk into the Keller and it's full of people but dead silent mostly. That's because everyone is IMing
Karlin Lutrova: lol just keeping it real friends
Jani (Janire Coba): me either, the naughtiest thing i've done here is to dance with gustav at eldorado
Jani (Janire Coba): hahaha
Zoe Foodiboo: /me giggles at Mab
Jani (Janire Coba): i can't be more pure and virginal than i am already here lol
Adele Kling: I hate that Teruumi
Gustav von Rosenheim (gustav2005 Resident): Oh, Jani LOL
Teruumi Jacqueline Simoneaux (Korina Asamoah): me too
Karlin Lutrova: the naugtiest for me I think is muttting a milllion fire places here
Karlin Lutrova: lol
Rosemary Thyme Chesnokova (MsRosemaryThyme Resident): yes, it's like a film by Ingemar Bergman, silence everywhere
Jani (Janire Coba): hahaha karlin
Karlin Lutrova: is that bad?
Karlin Lutrova: muting,
Mab Ashdene: I will not get into my naughtiness.
Jani (Janire Coba): if i'm quiet is cause i am distracted and afk or i'm ready to learn some rp lol
Karlin Lutrova: I learned a trick
Adele Kling: ((For the newcomers, we have a Facebook page. I'm thinking thats a good place to post the film list, as that way oithers can contribute.))
Karlin Lutrova: I hide in a phone booth
Pola Solo: Hi!
Karlin Lutrova: if I dont want interaction
Zoe Foodiboo: POla!
Mab Ashdene: Darling!
Adele Kling: Hello Pola
Rosemary Thyme Chesnokova (MsRosemaryThyme Resident): Hallo Pola
Zoe Foodiboo: YOu made it!
Teruumi Jacqueline Simoneaux (Korina Asamoah): Pola! Hallo!
Tequila Mockingbird (Tequila Krovac): Hi Pola
Zoe Foodiboo: Isn't this lovely? Full house!
Gustav von Rosenheim (gustav2005 Resident): Hello Pola :)
Jani (Janire Coba): may i ask something?
Karlin Lutrova: gruess dich Pola =)
whispy (whispy Darkstone): ty i will look for the fb page
Adele Kling: : )
Adele Kling: your welcome
Jani (Janire Coba): should we have in our profile pics the a little description of our character?
Teruumi Jacqueline Simoneaux (Korina Asamoah): I do
Zoe Foodiboo: I think that's up to you....
Zoe Foodiboo: Everyone has a different take on it
Karlin Lutrova: I thought of putting that in picks
Tequila Mockingbird (Tequila Krovac): Me too. I alos posted a Bio in FB
Karlin Lutrova: its not for everyone in Second Life™ ofcourse
Teruumi Jacqueline Simoneaux (Korina Asamoah): and I keep a NC where I write up more stuff for myself
Jani (Janire Coba): i mean, so others know why we act in some way, i ont know
Zoe Foodiboo: Some prefer not to because then they can really "meet" people and get to know them the way they would in RL.
Karlin Lutrova: and putting in pics is good advert for Berlin 1929 =)
Adele Kling: I have some info. I like to learn about people by interacting with them in RP, but I give a little background.
Rosemary Thyme Chesnokova (MsRosemaryThyme Resident): some of us have created backgrounds for our characters, and i know that it helps, it's easier to understand why our characters do what they do
Karlin Lutrova: /me nods
whispy (whispy Darkstone): i like to put my chars in picks, but i like to float around listening and developing first see where i can slot in
Teruumi Jacqueline Simoneaux (Korina Asamoah): I keep a short blurb in my picks and then when I rp needs it I share more
Mab Ashdene: I don't really think of myself as a character.
Zoe Foodiboo: Also, there are oral history interviews you can read on Flickr. To learn more about the histories of some of the old timers.
Tequila Mockingbird (Tequila Krovac): good point RoseMary
Karlin Lutrova: my character is obesessed with her dead husband lol
Zoe Foodiboo: Mab, Pola, Tequila, Rose...theirs are all there.
Adele Kling: Correct, but do we have to give a full bio in our profile? For me, it kind of ruins the RP fun.
Karlin Lutrova: maybe too much
Jani (Janire Coba): i agree adele
Teruumi Jacqueline Simoneaux (Korina Asamoah): Agreed
Karlin Lutrova: me too, to a point
Jani (Janire Coba): i meant like... where we're from, or how i ended in berlin, idk
Rosemary Thyme Chesnokova (MsRosemaryThyme Resident): yes it's fun to find out each others background stories the "normal" way
Mab Ashdene: Pola darling, am I a character or am I myself?
Karlin Lutrova: its a good idea, so another may have material on what to ask you about
Zoe Foodiboo: Is Pola drunk?
Jani (Janire Coba): loool
Zoe Foodiboo: Why is she sleeping?
Mab Ashdene: Usually.
Jani (Janire Coba): hahaha pola
Tequila Mockingbird (Tequila Krovac): To me it, helps my character reacting to events if I understand where it comes from
Karlin Lutrova: thats why I meantion Otto sometimes
Zoe Foodiboo: see - rp at its finest! :P
Pola Solo: You are a version of yourself.
Mab Ashdene: Interesting.
Karlin Lutrova: to give ppl a idea from which to ask about or rp
ClaireDeAir: Even actors sometimes do a version or themselves.
Rosemary Thyme Chesnokova (MsRosemaryThyme Resident): yes Claire
Karlin Lutrova: and my ultra concertvie doting mother in Danzig
Tequila Mockingbird (Tequila Krovac): /me nods
Karlin Lutrova: well yes, "method acting"
Mab Ashdene: I mention grandfather and the mountains sometimes.
Teruumi Jacqueline Simoneaux (Korina Asamoah): In a way we are acting
Jani (Janire Coba): hahahaha
Pola Solo: /me giggles.
Jani (Janire Coba): yes mab
Karlin Lutrova: like Dustin Hoffman said his was techique
Jani (Janire Coba): you made me laugh a lot yesterday, you funny woman
Teruumi Jacqueline Simoneaux (Korina Asamoah): Exceot that the script is being written while we do that
Karlin Lutrova: in his early years of cineama I
Karlin Lutrova: should say
whispy (whispy Darkstone): improvisation is how i think of rp,,,, something i love
Karlin Lutrova: has to be improv!
Karlin Lutrova: I totally agree
Teruumi Jacqueline Simoneaux (Korina Asamoah): yes!
ClaireDeAir: I love to do improv
Karlin Lutrova: it's not like we are professional actorls
ClaireDeAir: it is a lot of fun.
Tequila Mockingbird (Tequila Krovac): hahah Karlin
Adele Kling: thats for sure
Karlin Lutrova: let alone that face its hit an miss when any of us are here
whispy (whispy Darkstone): which is where the place and lose rules set the scene along with brief character background
Karlin Lutrova: =)
Mab Ashdene: Pola and I practice our routines at home before showing up at the Eldo.
Rosemary Thyme Chesnokova (MsRosemaryThyme Resident): since i use some alts showing different personalities, i often curse the fact that i'm on as the wrong character, since i may for instance in a discussion know the perfect thing for one of my alts to say, but the problem is that i am not online as the right person
Mab Ashdene: We are no good at improv.
Karlin Lutrova: its not a complaint, more a observation, but its hard to know what to plan in rp
Zoe Foodiboo: Sure you are! Your interview was hysterical.
Karlin Lutrova: even from one week to the next
Karlin Lutrova: if that makes sense to anyone ?
Jani (Janire Coba): alts? for rp?
Pola Solo: We improvise reluctantly, and grumble a lot.
Rosemary Thyme Chesnokova (MsRosemaryThyme Resident): yes it does
Jani (Janire Coba): i'd go insane
Jani (Janire Coba): hahaha
Jani (Janire Coba): this is my one and only avi
ClaireDeAir: I am an musician and I do some acting, myself.
Karlin Lutrova: just saying, thats why improv is really the only choice
Karlin Lutrova: not a bad thing mind you =)
Tequila Mockingbird (Tequila Krovac): I only use this avi also
Teruumi Jacqueline Simoneaux (Korina Asamoah): me too
Karlin Lutrova: same here I should say this set up and outfits
Teruumi Jacqueline Simoneaux (Korina Asamoah): and it proves to be tiring sometimes
Karlin Lutrova: thoug, I do like to go bout sometimes
Zoe Foodiboo: I use my grandpa on occasion. I'm not good at being an old man tho.
Adele Kling: haha
Karlin Lutrova: just today someone asked me about this rp sim
Karlin Lutrova: I was n a sneaker sshop
Jani (Janire Coba): if you all use alts i wont find a husband, in case is any of you, mean women
Karlin Lutrova: anyway, she might come
Jani (Janire Coba): hahaha
Tequila Mockingbird (Tequila Krovac): But I mean, even if having cear roles in the city, sometimes rp simply does not happen…Like Morgie has all those stores, and Addie have the photo studio. How many of you had visited her studios to rp a portrait?
Karlin Lutrova: what if I brought Otto back from the dea d?
Karlin Lutrova: in an lat Oo
Karlin Lutrova: alt lol
Adele Kling: Yeah, how many?
Adele Kling: /me laughs
Zoe Foodiboo: Well, I did ask Adele and we talked, but we're rarely on at the same time.
Rosemary Thyme Chesnokova (MsRosemaryThyme Resident): i haven't, but i will :)
Karlin Lutrova: that would be quite a gossip topic at least in the Keller
Teruumi Jacqueline Simoneaux (Korina Asamoah): Very good point
Jani (Janire Coba): the thing is... Morganic is too quiet, and i don't dare to speak to him :$
Zoe Foodiboo: there goes the sun
Karlin Lutrova: not too far fetched really
Jani (Janire Coba): he scares me
Adele Kling: Morganic is often afk, hard to RP with him.
Karlin Lutrova: tea leave reading, and all that was the rage
Zoe Foodiboo: He scares you? aw. He's the sweetest man....
Zoe Foodiboo: and so funny
Rosemary Thyme Chesnokova (MsRosemaryThyme Resident): but i think Elvina stole some developer fluid from you, Adele
Tequila Mockingbird (Tequila Krovac): I have seen a lot of people taking on roles such as workers in the places, and rp simply does not happenɽ
Adele Kling: But you can hang out at his shops, they are fun.
Jani (Janire Coba): haha i dont know him, maybe that's why
Karlin Lutrova: naaah, its that card board cheef that creeps me out
Adele Kling: Og gawd, hope she doesn't drink it.
Karlin Lutrova: he keeps staring at me !
Jani (Janire Coba): hahahahahha
Karlin Lutrova: the pervert , don't yu know
Zoe Foodiboo: Morgy's such a dear.
Adele Kling: He is
Rosemary Thyme Chesnokova (MsRosemaryThyme Resident): Morganic's really not that much into RP, as far as i know, he's into building and organizing
Tequila Mockingbird (Tequila Krovac): hahaha Karlin...Hope Honoria doesn't hear you saying that
Adele Kling: Yes, Rosemary.
Rosemary Thyme Chesnokova (MsRosemaryThyme Resident): he's like everybody's brother :)
Karlin Lutrova: he has a heart
Karlin Lutrova: I can tell even behind the screen =)
Zoe Foodiboo: True, he doesn't rp much. But he's very knowledgeable about the period. He's a good resource and fun to talk to.
Jani (Janire Coba): hey, jo
Tequila Mockingbird (Tequila Krovac): yes agree
Rosemary Thyme Chesnokova (MsRosemaryThyme Resident): yes
Frau Jo Yardley (Jo Yardley): ah missed it, blasted

Tequila Mockingbird (Tequila Krovac): /me waves to Frau Jo
Teruumi Jacqueline Simoneaux (Korina Asamoah): No, you're just in time to continue
Karlin Lutrova: the comment on the mr cardboard was not a relfection on that adorable man
Zoe Foodiboo: There's a couple of seats.
Mab Ashdene: Just in time for gossip.
Jani (Janire Coba): i said maybe he scares me cause i dont know him
Karlin Lutrova: uhoh, that Frau Yardley is here
Angello Valerian: Guten Abend Fray Jo
Karlin Lutrova: everone look busy !
webspelunker Ghostraven: Hello Frau Jo!
Alf Korhonen: I still looking at the girls! :)
Jani (Janire Coba): but he stays there, quiet, with his moustache, and scares me :$
Tequila Mockingbird (Tequila Krovac): Anyone would be able to make a little synthesis for Frau Jo? I do not think we have met any agreements, have we?
Karlin Lutrova: lol greetings Jo !
Rosemary Thyme Chesnokova (MsRosemaryThyme Resident): Morganic is friendly and has a lot of knowledge of the time, i've learnt lots from him
Zoe Foodiboo: hahaha, Alf
Alf Korhonen: They are so cute!
Karlin Lutrova: synthesis?
Zoe Foodiboo: Well, no, but many interesting perspectives were shared.
Karlin Lutrova: what do you mean Tequila =)
Teruumi Jacqueline Simoneaux (Korina Asamoah): she means a quick sum up
Zoe Foodiboo: I think we agreed we want more old people. and fat people. er, curvy.
Tequila Mockingbird (Tequila Krovac): forget about it
Karlin Lutrova: oh , I'm sorry , dont mind me
Karlin Lutrova: I think that was about language
Pola Solo: Hallo Frau Jo.
Teruumi Jacqueline Simoneaux (Korina Asamoah): and more rp
Karlin Lutrova: sorry :(

Mab Ashdene: Shall I go fat and old?
Zoe Foodiboo: oh yes, brackets

Zoe Foodiboo: Let's all get fat and old!
Jani (Janire Coba): hahaha
Jani (Janire Coba): no!
Adele Kling: and less IM, heh
Tequila Mockingbird (Tequila Krovac): oh, and that not everyone has to be a flapper
Rosemary Thyme Chesnokova (MsRosemaryThyme Resident): we will soon

Rosemary Thyme Chesnokova (MsRosemaryThyme Resident): in sl too but it takes some time :D
Teruumi Jacqueline Simoneaux (Korina Asamoah): and we spoke about developing backgrounds for our characters
Jani (Janire Coba): i miss some policemen bothering people
Jani (Janire Coba): to be honest
Jani (Janire Coba): lol
Karlin Lutrova: Jac des Messer?
Karlin Lutrova: or some thing
Karlin Lutrova: I recalll that 3 penny oper tune
Jani (Janire Coba): like: your skirt is short! you havent paid your rent! or... your car is there in the middle or nowhere

Tequila Mockingbird (Tequila Krovac): I think we need a criminal organization, lol
Jani (Janire Coba): just bothering
Jani (Janire Coba): lol
Jani (Janire Coba): oh yessss
Jani (Janire Coba): criminals in berlin
webspelunker Ghostraven: It would help!
Rosemary Thyme Chesnokova (MsRosemaryThyme Resident): Vera started one last autumn, but then it all ended
Karlin Lutrova: may I ask?
Zoe Foodiboo: we had one, didn't we?
Zoe Foodiboo: Mo's gone
Tequila Mockingbird (Tequila Krovac): why did it end?
Karlin Lutrova: where tere even usch a thing a women as polizeii?
Teruumi Jacqueline Simoneaux (Korina Asamoah): Mo was attacking my door the other day
Zoe Foodiboo: I think cause Vera left.
Karlin Lutrova: in those years?
Teruumi Jacqueline Simoneaux (Korina Asamoah): he's back apparentky
Frau Jo Yardley (Jo Yardley): vera vanished, she does that sometimes
Karlin Lutrova: there **
Zoe Foodiboo: He was? I never see him anymore....
Frau Jo Yardley (Jo Yardley): and yes there were female members of the kriminal polizei
ClaireDeAir: /camto offf
Karlin Lutrova: I am sorry, but its very difficult to type when every letter appears 2 seconds later sorry for errors
Jani (Janire Coba): were there criminal women?
Frau Jo Yardley (Jo Yardley): of course
Teruumi Jacqueline Simoneaux (Korina Asamoah): of course
Adele Kling: Always!
Karlin Lutrova: I wonder , if my rp can go in taht direction Jo
ClaireDeAir: /camto off
Karlin Lutrova: I need to research that
Zoe Foodiboo: I don't see why not.
whispy (whispy Darkstone): i arrived as a young preformer,,, but realised that perhaps there are many of them with the flappers,,,, so bought in granny to explore less filled rp groups etc
Angello Valerian: there is a kind of army ... At least two military who can protect us haha
Mab Ashdene: I broke into the cafe earlier.
Karlin Lutrova: awesome , then I can scold men for rude behavior
Tequila Mockingbird (Tequila Krovac): Criminal women is a must have…they help a lot as they are less suspicious of things
Karlin Lutrova: lo l jk
Jani (Janire Coba): haha yes
Telephone: whispers: Thank you! Click the telephone to place your call
Frau Jo Yardley (Jo Yardley): there always have been and always will be ciminal women
Teruumi Jacqueline Simoneaux (Korina Asamoah): yes
Jani (Janire Coba): we need criminals, murderers, kidnappers, and policemen
Karlin Lutrova: you mean polizei yes Jo?
Mab Ashdene: But surely not VERY criminal women.
Alf Korhonen: Hei isä! Se Alf poikasi!
Tequila Mockingbird (Tequila Krovac): /me looks at Pola
Karlin Lutrova: or do you mean women that did crime
Jani (Janire Coba): it's just a suggestions, lol ,and idea
Zoe Foodiboo: We have policemen
Frau Jo Yardley (Jo Yardley): kriminal polizei is a division of the police
webspelunker Ghostraven: Female Party members were considered criminals by some.
Jani (Janire Coba): but zoe are they active rpers?
Rosemary Thyme Chesnokova (MsRosemaryThyme Resident): Elvina is quite harmless as a criminal
Zoe Foodiboo: Alf, are you alright?
Alf Korhonen: "Muistatko minut! Miten äiti?"
Karlin Lutrova: interestint, I must research that Jo
Jani (Janire Coba): (idk, just asking since i'm new to here)
Zoe Foodiboo: I think they are, Jani. I ran one over a couple of weeks ago.
Mab Ashdene: Pola, are we criminals?
Frau Jo Yardley (Jo Yardley): its not much walking on the streets but more doing work at police stations and dealing with prisoners
Alf Korhonen: Sorryv talking to dad in Vienna! Line is bad
Karlin Lutrova: ah, desk work
Pola Solo: We are sort of demimonde, I think
Karlin Lutrova: actually makes sense
Tequila Mockingbird (Tequila Krovac): Yes, the police that checks the political events is different than criminal police, no?
Alf Korhonen: "Onko sinulla aikaa käydä Berliini pian!"
webspelunker Ghostraven: Typically!
Zoe Foodiboo: oh, sim police vs rp police you mean?
ClaireDeAir: How do you become a police officer here?
Jani (Janire Coba): or maybe sudenly.... someone with a gun threating people at der keller
Karlin Lutrova: I really must read more than I am if I expect to be in character at all
Jani (Janire Coba): lol
Mab Ashdene: Is auctioning underage boys criminal?
Jani (Janire Coba): that'd be funny
Alf Korhonen: "On lopetettava nyt, koska se on kallista soittaa!"
webspelunker Ghostraven: I have some knowledge of these matters.
whispy (whispy Darkstone): women political activists from the sufferagettes to communists and anarchist did political actions to get noticed then as now
Frau Jo Yardley (Jo Yardley): people are invited to join the police
ClaireDeAir: ok
Tequila Mockingbird (Tequila Krovac): So, criminal police could be easily rp'ed without interfering with Dantiz
ClaireDeAir: great
Karlin Lutrova: uh, Berlin was wild and progressive but not THAT much
Alf Korhonen: "Terveys äiti katsottuna Voi pian!"
Frau Jo Yardley (Jo Yardley): criminal police?
Alf Korhonen: "Hyvästi isä!"
Karlin Lutrova: good pont Tequila
Frau Jo Yardley (Jo Yardley): problem is that in berlin police has real powers and are sim maanagers
ClaireDeAir: a bod cop
Frau Jo Yardley (Jo Yardley): so we cant make anyone a cop
ClaireDeAir: bad*
Alf Korhonen: Dam line!
Jani (Janire Coba): oh
Frau Jo Yardley (Jo Yardley): the second you have a badge people assume you're a manager
Karlin Lutrova: maybe rp polizei could interefere with actually Sim security
Jani (Janire Coba): but we can make anyone a criminal with a gun
Karlin Lutrova: never thought of that
Teruumi Jacqueline Simoneaux (Korina Asamoah): yes, we would need to separate the groups
Jani (Janire Coba): attacking your der keller
Alf Korhonen: Back!
Jani (Janire Coba): and scaring women
Jani (Janire Coba): hahaha
Mab Ashdene: I once got locked up for pulling a gun.
Rosemary Thyme Chesnokova (MsRosemaryThyme Resident): so who would be considered as a good cop in Berlin?
Mab Ashdene: But I didn't mean to shoot it!
Karlin Lutrova: shame on you !
Zoe Foodiboo: it's fun getting arrested
Teruumi Jacqueline Simoneaux (Korina Asamoah): it is!
Frau Jo Yardley (Jo Yardley): i know we have one or two corrupt cops
Alf Korhonen: Shoot and kill
Tequila Mockingbird (Tequila Krovac): Yes, police forces have divisions as far as I understand…some place investigate protests and political crimes, while the criminal police would be on charge of investigating murderers, no? then there is the drug police…if I am right….
Frau Jo Yardley (Jo Yardley): but most take their job seriously, if only they could be online more
Karlin Lutrova: so man y directions to do with that idea lol
Teruumi Jacqueline Simoneaux (Korina Asamoah): any kind of hapenning is fun to take part in
Frau Jo Yardley (Jo Yardley): some of our cops even have rl law experience :)
Alf Korhonen: My mother was still ill but my father might come next week to Berlin! Depends on mothers health
Rosemary Thyme Chesnokova (MsRosemaryThyme Resident): the major RP event in Berlin is getting closer and closer
webspelunker Ghostraven: Or they could be NSA!
Karlin Lutrova: is it ok to bring up the subject of , the politics that was more and more of what Berlinweould be?
Karlin Lutrova: I know its a deliccate subject but
Karlin Lutrova: I enjoy referranes to actual events
Karlin Lutrova: at the time
Karlin Lutrova: Jo?
Frau Jo Yardley (Jo Yardley): you can discus nazism all you want, just stay away from being a proper antisemite
Karlin Lutrova: well yes ofcourse not that
Frau Jo Yardley (Jo Yardley): the second we start tp suspect being all excited about jolly nazism is more than just roleplay, you're at trouble
Rosemary Thyme Chesnokova (MsRosemaryThyme Resident): the newspapers help us find things to talk about too
Zoe Foodiboo: whispers: Hallo Ludwig!
Ludwig Caesar (Ludwig2005 Resident): huh.....
Karlin Lutrova: but well, maybe its too complicated to try an incorporate that element
Karlin Lutrova: most of it at the time was in Bavaria anyway
Tequila Mockingbird (Tequila Krovac): And you can always be with or against nazism, no? In RL not every German citizen would be in agreement with it
Jani (Janire Coba): uhm... i wouldnt be comfortable talking about nazism
Jani (Janire Coba): so i'd be quiet again lol
Teruumi Jacqueline Simoneaux (Korina Asamoah): then don't
Karlin Lutrova: was that ok to bring up? I just really like to know any guiddelines about that
Karlin Lutrova: me either, not in a supporting way at all
Teruumi Jacqueline Simoneaux (Korina Asamoah): we're not making mandatory rules, just discussing possibilities
Zoe Foodiboo: sharing ideas
Jani (Janire Coba): yep
Rosemary Thyme Chesnokova (MsRosemaryThyme Resident): i find that it happens that we talk about nazis, but that we often just regard them as silly bavarians
Frau Jo Yardley (Jo Yardley): berlin was a "red" city and mostly anti nazi, even in 1933 the nazis didnt get half the votes
Karlin Lutrova: my character does not support the Reds either btw
Jani (Janire Coba): oh, then alright
Mab Ashdene: I like men in uniform.
Jani (Janire Coba): i can talk about them as silly bavarians
Frau Jo Yardley (Jo Yardley): but now and then I do let slip that I agree with the nazis on art and the decadence of society, then again socialists agreed with that as well
Jani (Janire Coba): problem sorted ^^
Frau Jo Yardley (Jo Yardley): and communists
Rosemary Thyme Chesnokova (MsRosemaryThyme Resident): or as bumpkins, the way city folk often view people in the countryside
Karlin Lutrova: I agree with Jo
Angello Valerian: i'd prefer a kind of Berlin mafia, than a lot of politicians around us hahah
Jani (Janire Coba): mafia
Jani (Janire Coba): yes!
Karlin Lutrova: some of their values may ahve made sense

without clear, honest self-knowledge…
all other 'knowledge' is built on somewhat shaky foundations ;o)
Aeres University of Applied Sciences (Food, Nature & Urban Green) Almere
At the start of the 21/22 academic year, the new building of the green education and knowledge institution Aeres Hogeschool Almere was taken into use on one of the main roads to Floriade Expo 2022. A healthy, inspiring working and learning environment in an energy-neutral, climate-adaptive and circular building. The design reflects both the sustainable identity of the education of the faculty in Almere and the central theme of the upcoming world horticultural exhibition: 'Growing Green Cities'. 'Green' is therefore an important building block for the new building with different types of green walls, plants and trees, moves through the building like a landscape, from entrance to roof. The greenery stimulates the senses and, as part of the living lab, also has an educational value; students in Almere conduct research into urban food supplies and healthy living in the green city and into the way in which greenery in the school contributes to learning performance.
Aeres is the first school in the Netherlands to go for the Platinum WELL certificate. The abundant living greenery itself has many positive effects on the indoor climate. In addition, other relevant factors such as daylight, ventilation, thermal comfort, acoustics, movement and the use of non-toxic materials have also been optimized. Users can control their own lighting, climate and sun protection for each room. Building performance is continuously monitored and controlled by an intelligent building management system. The inspiring interior is also a translation of the educational vision and sustainability ambitions. The functional and varied mix of learning, working and consultation spaces facilitates activity-oriented education, research and project-based and individual work.
The new Aeres University of Applied Sciences is a smart energetic building with smart skin; Depending on the position and orientation, the facades have different properties. For example, PV panels on the west side also provide solar shading in addition to generating energy. The east side, oriented towards the tree garden of the Floriade site, is completely green and changes color with the seasons. The lively nature-inclusive green roof is both a pleasant living space and an inspiring learning and experimental area. A shaded roof of semi-transparent PV panels protects the students from the sun and reduces the heat in the school. Collected rainwater also serves as a heat/cooling buffer and provides watering for the greenery on and around the building. This saves 50% tap water. In keeping with the sustainable ambitions for the new university of applied sciences, we have incorporated various circular materials into the building, such as biocomposite facade cladding, concrete granulate, recycled wood for the grandstand stairs, decking and outdoor furniture and recycled metal studs for the inner walls. In turn, the demountable design itself enables future reuse of materials registered with Madaster.
Today, I finally get to try the Fujinon XF50-140mm for the first time in the Fuji Photo Walk Event. The greatest outcome of this event was to interact with different Fujifilm photographers.
The event took place at the Trout Lake Park. I think around 20-30 people showed up. As I arrived I quickly tried the XF10-24mm. It is a great lens and quite useful for landscape photography. I used it for 30 minutes and swapped to the XF50-140mm. It is definitely a heavy lens. My arm got a bit tired after an hour of shooting.
My initial impression is that the lens is excellent; it is very fast as it locks on to the subject without any problems. The images are pretty sharp (not as sharp as the XF90mm). I was about to keep away my distance between the subject so that he can "be" himself...and I got the shot I like today!
Location: Vancouver, BC (Trout Lake Park)
"Discover Bern's golden age and learn of the relationships between power, knowledge, upheaval and awakening at the time of the Helvetic Revolution.
The sequel to the exhibition "From the Early Middle Ages to the Ancien Régime" takes up approximately 630m² and focuses on 18th and 19th century Bern. In a chronological sequence the seven rooms of the exhibition display unique objects from the golden age of an educated and gallant Bern. However, they also show the decline of the Ancien Régime and the struggle for a new constitution. Some 300 diverse exhibits including written documents, musical instruments, porcelain pieces and costumes bring the era back to life.
Some of the highlights of this exhibition are the mayoral throne from the city hall and groups of porcelain figurines depicting 18th century customs. Life-sized figures revive the ambiance of the time in the "Salon de Pourtalès". A cycle of paintings by Reinhard offers impressively realistic depictions of distinct individuals from all over Switzerland."
