Univ. of Newcastle
A university in East Australia. A simple one using only one SIM and this is the only class room.
University of Newcastle: http://slurl.com/secondlife/University%20of%20Newcastle/110/185/28
Could be a part of the university, there is a village in a sky box. It seems a habitation of native tribes. I knew that Aborigine has very nice art, so looked after some folk clothing. I have gathered many kinds of ethnic costumes but none for Australian. I found on the net that there is no native costume for Australia, and they were embarrassed when there was a summit conference. To stretch a point, it could be a red loincloth, headband and white paint on body. In any case, Aborigine does not like to be imitated, so that could be a reason why there is none in SL.
There are several animations such as milking or potter's wheel. There is an animation for washing feet. Is it for footman or for a fat lady who cannot reach for her foot?
There is a slit on a tent that makes easy to look out... no way. The tent is phantom and can stick out body freely. With this look, I have some breasts.

Medical School 2
There is a program in which if students forget to wash their hands before visiting a patient, their investigation is halted. The right is a fire extinguisher that is located at many places. Is there a training program for that?

A corridor just like a real hospital (matter of course). This might be a model of real one.
The ceiling is transparent from the top and whole layout can be seen from the gangway. There is no handrail so it is easy to fall down.
There is a beautiful townscape outside of the hospital. The floating construction is a cluster of hospital rooms. A pier is on the left, which is common in California. On the real ones, there are a lot of shops and is busy at night. Sorry to say, there is nothing in these buildings.

Medical School
Close to the JPL SIM, there was a virtual medical training center. Managed by Imperial Collage London, Department of Biosurgery and Surgical Technology. Beautiful buildings not like a hospital.
Medical School: http://slurl.com/secondlife/Medical%20School/101/99/23
Pioneering work on surgical skills through simulation, virtual reality, telemedicine and robotic surgery, established in 2009. The theme would be "Can Second Life help teach doctors to treat patients?" At first, the visitor is asked to change clothing to free uniform at this changing room next to the entrance.
Reception desk? The chair takes 54 prims. There are plenty of basic prims used for the medical machines, so it is good that there is little lag to read them.
I learned that the corner of patient is called "bay". The right might be doctor's round visits. Trainees wear a different uniform.
Operating room? The white box in the air will show the name and function of the machine by touching it. The explanation document says, "These prospective doctors are treating virtual patients in Second Life. The third-year med students are taking part in a pilot program for game-based learning, which educators believe can be a stimulating change from lectures and textbooks."

Autumn Leaves
Autumn has come. Put fall foliages at Temi's Teahouse. Last year, the landload of Baba at that time scoled me about the hight, so I checked it carefully this time.
Temi's Teahouse: http://slurl.com/secondlife/Baba%20Twins/168/99/22
A georama set at a corner of front yard of an art gallery. With a painting, trees, grass, and lighting, the autumn is nicely depicted in the small space.
At the Kazumi's bar, our neighbors across the street, the stage is also decorated with autumn color of leaves.
Tha is not a nice painting but a real wood behind the bar. I saw a nice picture by Muzuki that lets us come in, but this forest is real and leads us to the Arice's tea table. The scenery from the bar could be a kind of 3D art.
The Bowery Poetry Club is a New York City poetry performance space located in Manhattan's East Village, and provides a home base for established and upcoming artists. The right is real one. Kazumi’s one does not have live performance but a quiet and calm spot.

Dante's Divine Comedy
Visited the first exhibition of LEA Full SIM Art Series. The series will continue until next March and two arts will be presented each month. The first one is Rebeca Bashly's 'Inferno' that is based upon the nine circles of suffering described in the first part of Dante's Divine Comedy. This is the entrance gate. Above the gate, there is the famous statement, “Forsake all hope, all you that enter here”.
Inferno: http://slurl.com/secondlife/LEA6/96/162/625
There is the poet Virgil, who stands at every circle as a teleporter to the next. At first I saw him as a strange old chap, but while proceeding with the tour, he became a reliable and friendly partner. In order to TP, touch and sit on him. But the one at the gate does not do anything when sitting.
I have heard the name of Divine Comedy, but did not know what it was. Taking this occasion, I will make a tour around it. Dante's Divine Comedy consists of Inferno, Purgatorio, and Paradiso. This SIM is treating the first one only, but still it is lengthy. One evening, Dante lost his way in a forest and met a poet Virgil, and asked him to guide toward heaven through Inferno and Purgatorio. This is the first circle, Limbo, that is a region on the edge of hell and it is meant for those who did not accept Christ. On a grass ground, in front of groups of white translucent figures sitting on the grass in the dark, these are some of the great thinkers, wise men, scientists, poets and philosophers.
The second circle, Lust, contains those led astray by lust. There is a deep hole, out of which reddish, translucent whirlwind of faces appear, which demonstrates the conflict of love and lust and the tension between attraction and desire.
The third circle, Gluttony: This is a gloomy place where people those involved with self-indulgence and addiction lie scattered in a brownish area containing vile slush and mud produced by a never-ending muddy rain. In the original poem, here comes Cerberus with three fearful heads.
The fourth circle, Greed: People those plagued by overconsumption are pushing large heavy balls against each other, investing an enormous amount of effort, going nowhere, no winner, and it never ends.
The fifth circle, Anger: Groups of deadly pale individuals covered in blood, biting off each others' flesh, in agony and struggling.
The sixth circle, Heresy, is a location where violent and malicious sins are punished and buried in pits of fire. This is the Gate of Dis, the entrance of the ironclad walls of the city. There are three blood covered furies with threatening heads.
The seventh circle, Violence: The sinners are delivered to each area according to their sin, resulting in a river of blood, being forged to bizarre trees that are picked by monstrous bird Harpies, or finding themselves on barren sand ignited by sparks of fire. These areas are guarded by violent Centaurs and Minotaur. The huge Minotaur in the dark mist is one of the most fearful creatures I ever saw in SL.
The eighth circle, Fraud: Those guilty of deliberate evil are divided into ten Bolgie (eveil pockets). This is the first pocket for seducers. In this art, some of them are presented. The sinners who abducted and sold women are beaten with whips by horned goblins.
The third pocket, Simony: The sinners who sold holy things and attained them are piled into a hole with his top down and his feet shooting out fire. This is really "Cool down head, warm up feet"?
The fifth pocket, Corrupt politicians: The sinners are put in burning bituminous coal, and racked by goblins. The eighth circle is the longest part in the original poem, but there is no detailed explanation included the note card attached to this art and I am not sure from which parts these came from. So these are based on my imagination. Please accept some errors.
The tenth pocket, Falsifiers: The sinners who did various falsification or legerdemain are in agony of bad pestilence.
The sixth pocket, Hypocrites: The sinners hopelessly keep walking with a heavy coat made with lead that is overlaid with gold only for the appearance.
The seventh pocket, Thieves: When a snake gives one bite on the neck of burglars, they will flame out and incinerated to a bunch of bones. The ash will gather together and build up a man again.
The appearance of the eighth circle. Several pockets are lined in a huge cave. Virgil will give us the TP, but we can fly across the circle.
The ninth circle, Treachery, contains those who have committed acts which involve betray-ing some kind of special relationship. These traitors are frozen in a green-blue, or teal, colored lake of ice known as Cocytus. Ice spikes surround them. In the very centre of Hell, condemned for committing the ultimate sin, personal treachery against God, is Satan. Sa-tan presents with three faces. This circle was also presented at the UWA 3D Art Challenge before. This is the end of the tour. I was not able to find the exit, so I asked one of guests around, but she said, "Exit out of hell? Forget it."
The total of nine circles is made in a space of about 200m width, 200m length, and 600m height. As the original poem, the nine circles were set from the top entrance to the bottom accordingly. The labor of the artist who set this whole thing within a short period is amazing. I would express my appreciation for giving me a chance to touch the Divine Comedy that I would never read without this art. Thank you Rebeca! Looking forward to seeing also the Purgatorio, and Paradiso!
This art has been introduced in many blogs. There is a list at UWA page, where my one is also included. The one in the early part, "Aiden Witrial's The Suicide Forest infested by Harpias" is very nice. Among many machinima that swing camera deliriously, this one catches the monstrous bird Harpies through tranquil pictures. Also the lighting is excellent! (The below is not it. Please visit the site.)
