Introducing MEB Fashion new releases
Hello from Melusina Parkin (Melu)!
Glad to start collaborating with this blog with news from the fashion brand where I work as CEO.
While we wait for its new Winter collection, MEB Fashion releases in these weeks two items at the opposite sides of its range: a formal gown and some boots fitting its sophisticated urban style clothes.
Red Carpet is the first gown made by the MEB designer and owner MariaElena Barbosa. Before it, just once did MEB release a long dress, Demoiselle, but it was a quotation of XIX century style. The MEB catalogue proposed different solutions for nightly events, like the dress Cameron, even paired with a precious lace-like jacket in an outfit called Anette, or some other short but elegant dresses like Austen (an homage to the romantic mood of the celebrated Jane Austen) or even Laura black.
All these dresses are still live, but now they are accompanied by a long formal gown, a red one, whose dark ruby color, brilliant silk and rich play of pleats made of it a perfect dress for theatre, gala dancing nights, vernissages, important events in general. We shot it in the framework of an Italian precious theatre, the Bibiena of Mantua, to show how its style is proper to great and sophisticated events.
The second MEB new release is a boots line for the forthcoming winter. They welcome the new chill season with smooth suede, warm wool and amazing studs. Four colors, from Ice to dark Grey, warm Brown and Honey, to match your clothes and your cool days.
Enjoy them all at our main store!

Golden Grass the “Jalapão” Gold
By Anna Avalanche, Gisa Miles and Luiz SpeedwellPictures by Marly Rocha and Assessora de Comunicação da Agência de Desenvolvimento Turístico Estado do Tocantins
This was our latest article publish at déjà vu Magazine. Touch here to read my new article
“Capim dourado” - called golden grass (syngonanthus nitens) - actually is the stem of a small white flower from the “always-alive” plant species. In the flower are found the seeds that guarantee the perpetuation of the plant (native of Jalapão), and income for some people who live in “Jalapão”.Golden grass only sprouts in “Jalapão” (read the article Jalapão the
world gorgeous desert ). It’s the thin stem with intense gold metallic shine that is used by local women to turn the grass into a variety of craft items: bags, earrings, bracelets, hats, mandalas (wall-hangings), baskets and decoration objects. These pieces with unique beauty have crossed Tocantins’ borders, distributed throughout Brazil and also abroad.
The art of working with golden grass was taught to local women by indigenous who inhabited the region. Today, the techniques of golden grass handicraft are still taught from generation to generation in the village of Mumbuca and also in the cities of Mateiros, Ponte Alta, Novo Acordo, Santa Tereza, Lagoa do Tocantins and in Prata, a village of São Felix do Jalapão County.
Besides tourism, another factor that is revolutionizing the local “Jalapão” economy is the growing popularity of golden grass craft. The handicraft made from golden grass straw look impressive brightness similar to gold. Almost like gold metal some pieces of golden grass handicraft can cost over $500.00 USD overseas.
If you ever have the opportunity to visit “Tocantins” and the “Jalapão” desert you must buy a souvenir made from golden grass and see how the skillful hands from artisans’ women work the grass. Amazing beautiful.All handicraft jewelry are made by golden grass

Linden Lab rounds up and ejects a bunch of copyright infringers
This article was written by Tateru Nino
Now, we must admit that we find this one both amusing and appropriate. In short, Linden Lab has sent 50 or more Second Life users who were using the after-market NeilLife viewer on the spank-bus to ban-town. Not just for using the viewer, but for copying content that they shouldn't ought to have.
What's clever is how Linden Lab caught and detected them.
Now, obviously assets get transferred to viewers from the servers. That's the whole point of the server/viewer relationship. The servers tell the viewer what assets are around, and the viewer prioritizes and fetches the assets that it is interested in.
Not every asset is necessarily in the vicinity of the viewer (eg: profile pictures and some other things), but the ideal conformant viewer asks only for what it is supposed to get, and doesn't then immediately replicate in-world copies of it, or whatever, in ways that infringe on the rights of others.
In any case, it seems there was this particular asset that many users with... let's call them non-conformant viewers were grabbing and replicating. As we understand it, the Lab slipped the asset out from under the UUID, and replaced it with something (that we presume was quite similar) that called up the Lab and let them know who the naughty person who copied it was.
The NeilLife viewer creator (if 'creator' is the appropriate word as it was just another after-market viewer with some exploits added) and quite some tens of the users of that viewer had their accounts banned pretty much outright. Not because they were using a non-conformant viewer, but because they were using it to infringe (and apparently doing it pretty darn stupidly at that).
As a bonus, there would now be a documentation trail supporting US Federal criminal charges should the Lab find that any of the banned users are overly vexing or troublesome.
Well-played, Linden Lab. We – along with the vast majority of your users and customers – are rather looking forward to hearing about more actions like this.
PS. Comment from Anna Avalanche: I must agree with Tateru Nino. This was a very nice attitude from Linden Lab. Well done Linden’s!!!!
