Announcement: This Saturday at The Science Circle - "Methamphetamine"
*
"Methamphetamine"
Saturday April 10
10 AM to 11 AM SL time
Methamphetamine was first derived from another stimulant in 1893. Initially unrestricted, it seduced populations of many countries by its stimulant effects and addictive nature.
Aside from a few accepted medical uses as a controlled substance, it has played
– an economic role as a profitable drug,
– a geopolitical role as an agent of enhancement for military personnel and political leaders,
– and with underground manufacture and distribution, in the illegal drug trade in the United States and elsewhere.
This presentation will discuss the pharmacology of N-methamphetamine and its use in medical treatment as well as drug abuse, with emphasis on the mechanisms of action and pathophysiology that arises from addiction and long term use. We will also examine the medical costs and criminal impact on society arising from the existence of this drug.

Raglan Shire Turns 14
Second Life's most noted communities of "Tinies," Raglan Shire, has turned fourteen years old. The news was announced in the community's Discord chat yesterday, Wednesday April 7.
Over the years, the community has remained a unique one in Second Life. It's not just for the small stature of it's residents, but also for it's events, such as it's annual Art Walk, the creativity of many of it's residents, it's squeaky-clean image, and it's friendly reputation.
Happy anniversary Raglan.
*Correction: * As it turned out, there was a mistake. The community came about in April 2007, not 2006. Sorry about the error.

Two User-Made Maps of Second Life
Neither map can see the new sims, which only show their names. On both maps, the land is still invisible.
Hopefully the Lindens and Moles will fix the Second Life map soon. Until then, hopefully these maps made by residents can help.

Announcement: RFL Sunbeamer Event With DJ Matt
Tomorrow, Thursday April 8 at the Bouncing Bunny Beach Club, the Relay for Life's Sunbeamer team will be having a special event in addition to it's weekly Moon Dance. From 4 to 6 PM SL time, DJ Matt will be playing country and other tunes. Instead of tips, she asks that any money go to the Relay kiosks.
This event also marks the final two hours of Matt's "Bid Me Pink" fundraiser, and this will be the last chance for people to bid her pink (or to stay her normal self). At the end of the event, the totals on the kiosks will be tallied and the results made final, and posted. People are also invited to donate to Nydia Tungsten's "Bid Me Mouse or Bunny" fundraiser.
As this is a Relay event, everyone please keep their shorts (and tops for the girls) on.
Following the event, please head over to Sunlight Bay where the Moon Dance will take place, and if you're with another Relay team, by all means ask for a kiosk to be rezzed in it's name.

533 Million Facebook Users Personal Data Leaked Online
The leak was revealed a few days ago on April 3 by chief technology officer Alon Gal of Hudson Rock, a cybercrime intelligence group. It was posted online on a hacking forum by someone, and "available to anyone with rudimentary data skills." Gal would post his findings on Twitter, "I have yet to see Facebook acknowledging this absolute negligence of your data." Facebook responded that the reported data was the same as that of a 2019 data leak, "We found and fixed this issue in August 2019." But as many people continue to use the same phone numbers and email addresses, the data could still potentially be useful for scammers and other online schemes.
The leak is being investigated by Ireland's Data Protection Commission, which stated they will work with Facebook to make sure it's claim is true. Joe Tidy of BBC News commented, "The database has likely changed criminal hands many times before now being offered for free."
