Now is your chance to see Avatar: The Way of Water @ Door to America. Come visit, relax, and stay for the full show.

Synopsis: Over a decade after the events of the first film, the film begins with Jake Sully narrating his modest and peaceful life as Chief of the Omaticaya Clan and raising a family with his wife Neytiri, which includes his sons Neteyam and Lo'ak and his daughter Tuk, his adopted daughter Kiri (born from Grace Augustine's comatose Na'vi avatar), and a human boy named Spider, the son of Miles Quaritch who was born on Pandora but was unable to be transported to Earth in cryostasis as an infant. While Jake can accept Spider as an adopted son, Neytiri is distrustful of him given his human origins. However, all the children mingle and socialize well with each other including Spider, whom Kiri is affectionate with even though he is a human. Spider does not embrace his human heritage and feels more inclined to Na'vi culture and traditions. They lead a normal life until one day they notice a strange star in the night sky. Much to their dismay, they realize it's an RDA spaceship with humans returning to Pandora to colonize it, erecting a new main operating base yet again, causing significant destruction to Pandora. Among the new arrivals in the ship is Colonel Quaritch, who has been cloned into a Na'vi body and with his memories uploaded from before his death. As a result, Quaritch is unable to remember his demise at the hands of Jake but is only able to recollect the events in the past and his vengeful mission to eliminate Jake.

4 Day Work Week, Anyone?

 

Four-Day Workweeks Could Be Coming to the U.S. — Here's How

Story by Marisa Sullivan • 4h ago

California Rep. Mark Takano has reintroduced a bill that aims to trim back the traditional

40-hour workweek, after dozens of companies in the United Kingdom have already

jumped on board and reported positive results, according to The Washington Post.

Note: Health Insurance will have to be re-written to include full time workers @ 32 hrs

per week instead of 40 hrs per week. This will greatly benefit many industries but

especially retail workers in the U.S.

If Second Life isn't a game, what is it? (NBC NEWS)

 

If Second Life isn't a game, what is it?

The mainstream press has struggled with how to characterize Second Life. The term “3-D online virtual world” doesn’t roll off the tongue as easily as the term “game.” And it’s a whole lot harder to get in a headline. But what is it, really?

THE INVITATION 

by Oriah Mountain Dreamer

It doesn't interest me

what you do for a living.

I want to know

what you ache for

and if you dare to dream

of meeting your heart's longing.

It doesn't interest me

how old you are.

I want to know

if you will risk

looking like a fool

for love

for your dream

for the adventure of being alive.

It doesn’t interest me

what planets are

squaring your moon...

I want to know

if you have touched

the centre of your own sorrow

if you have been opened

by life's betrayals

or have become shriveled and closed

from fear of further pain.

I want to know

if you can sit with pain

mine or your own

without moving to hide it

or fade it

or fix it.

I want to know

if you can be with joy

mine or your own

if you can dance with wildness

and let the ecstasy fill you

to the tips of your fingers and toes

without cautioning us

to be careful

to be realistic

to remember the limitations

of being human.

It doesn't interest me

if the story you are telling me

is true.

I want to know if you can

disappoint another

to be true to yourself.

If you can bear

the accusation of betrayal

and not betray your own soul.

If you can be faithless

and therefore trustworthy.

I want to know if you can see Beauty

even when it is not pretty

every day.

And if you can source your own life

from its presence.

I want to know

if you can live with failure

yours and mine

and still stand at the edge of the lake

and shout to the silver of the full moon,

"Yes."

It doesn't interest me

to know where you live

or how much money you have.

I want to know if you can get up

after the night of grief and despair

weary and bruised to the bone

and do what needs to be done

to feed the children.

It doesn't interest me

who you know

or how you came to be here.

I want to know if you will stand

in the centre of the fire

with me

and not shrink back.

It doesn't interest me

where or what or with whom

you have studied.

I want to know

what sustains you

from the inside

when all else falls away.

I want to know

if you can be alone

with yourself

and if you truly like

the company you keep

in the empty moments.

Tank & Eryn both said "I Do" on January 17th, 2023.

Tank McBouncer is the co-owner of Door to America in a partnership with Cherryann Kayor, A G, Tealcie, and Terek Collins.

Door to America Celebrates Toys for Tots in Second Life - Join Us!

Door to America invites you to come over, put a free ornament on the tree (use your own texture), sit, dance, chat, enjoy! 

While it's true that not every child gets a present or even celebrates Christmas, and it's possible that millions of children go without any celebratory moments on Christmas day, it's an opportunity for those of us who are "okay" to give a gift or two because we can. 

Not every child is fortunate enough to have one or two parents or the nurturing environment that all of us assume is "just a reality." One thing, however, remains true no matter whether it is Christmas or not: those of us who know we are fortunate and feel grateful want to extend compassion on special occasions to others.

Every day is a struggle for children in need in a world that often marginalizes them at critical times when they most need inspiration and a little spark of welcomed excitement.

Giving a gift on Christmas won't fix a child's circumstances but think about it, there is a moment in all our lives when we "recognized something wonderful happened" that energized us, made us resolute with inner power to go after our dreams. A moment in time, like receiving a special gift, can change the direction of a little life for the better. Maybe, that one spark we received was enough to jumpstart years of effort to succeed. 

So, this Christmas, or this holiday season, consider reaching out and helping just a little bit to bring joy to some who will be excited to receive a gift they likely never expected to receive.

Happy Holidays to you and yours!

If you celebrate Xmas, Merry Christmas!

Scientists found a molecule that destroys even the worst cancers in mice Joshua Hawkins - 5h ago

 

Click here to read full article

"The new molecular cancer treatment relies on a specific molecule, which can seek out the acidic environments that surround cancer cells. But, in order for the cells to be acidic enough, they cannot be “cold” tumors, which have little immune activity.

This is where drugs known as STING agonists come into play. These fire up the tumors, allowing the immune system to respond to them."

We will never give up until we find a cure for cancer(s)!
