Live and Learn in Kenya in Second Life Since January 2010 Live and Learn in Kenya NGO is also online in the Second Life virtual charity community – Nonprofit Commons. The managers of the Nonprofit Commons go through every detail of an organization’s registration form to assure itself that it really is a charitable non-profit organization and not a computer scam.  LLK operates from a virtual office where people can come in and inform themselves about our work in Kenya, look at photos and, if an LLK member is present, hold a conversation. There are real people behind all of the so-called avatars, so real conversations are held – as well as meetings – either by typing your message or by speaking over a microphone. A child in Kenya – the orphan, Veronica - has already been sponsored through a Second Life contact – which makes it all worthwhile. When you log in to Second Life type either "Brique Topaz", "LLK", or "Feed a Smile" in the Search. LLK also belongs to the world-known organization Techsoup which also works in Second Life. 00:17:00Talk with Marieno@talkwithmarie,feed a smileMaximillion Kleene & Collin Martin Feed a SmileTalk! with Marie Presents Ice Skating & James Olmos in Second Lifehttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/talkwithmarie/2016/02/26/talk-with-marie-presents-ice-skating-james-olmos-in-second-lifeMusichttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/talkwithmarie/2016/02/26/talk-with-marie-presents-ice-skating-james-olmos-in-second-life/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/talkwithmarie/2016/02/26/talk-with-marie-presents-ice-skating-james-olmos-in-second-lifeFri, 26 Feb 2016 23:30:00 GMTTalk! with Marie Presents Ice Skating & James Olmos in Second LifeIt's Friday!!

About Michelle Vital She is a 2015 graduate of the Higher, Adult, and Lifelong Education doctoral program at Michigan State University, where she also earned her Master of Arts in Student Affairs Administration. She completed her Bachelor of Arts at Simmons College where she double majored in Sociology and African American Studies. Michelle’s research interests include the intersection of higher education and international development, the role of non-governmental organizations in higher education environments in low-income countries, the internationalization of U.S. higher education, graduate student experiences in higher education, and qualitative research methods that address preparation for international field work and also focuses on one’s positionality as a researcher in order to become a more critically reflexive scholar-practitioner. Her dissertation research was a case study of the Haitian Education and Leadership Program (HELP). Her study examined key stakeholder’s perceptions of challenges within the Haitian higher education system and how HELP supports the academic and future success of university students in Haiti.

Shoshanna EhrlichToday's show highlights new books, live music and upcoming shows in Second Life and Concert Window. First up is a new book, Regulating Desire: From the Virtuous Maiden to the Purity Princess. by J. Shoshanna Ehrlich. She is a professor in the Women's and Gender Studies Department at the University of Massachusetts Boston. Regulating Desire explores the legal regulation of young women's sexuality in the United States. The book covers five distinct time periods in which changing social conditions generated considerable public anxiety about youthful female sexuality and examines how successive generations of reformers sought to revise the law in an effort to manage unruly desires and restore a gendered social order. J. Shoshanna Ehrlich draws upon a rich array of primary source materials, including reform periodicals, court cases, legislative hearing records, and abstinence curricula to create an interdisciplinary narrative of socially embedded legal change. Capturing the complex and dynamic nature of the relationship between the state and the sexualized youthful female body, she highlights how the law both embodies and shapes gendered understandings of normative desire as mediated by considerations of race and class.

His 12 year experience of world traveling has captured European, Middle Eastern, Latin and Asian sounds that make his music a unique blend for almost any occasion. Although Kuya Kano began performing music in the United States, his career as a Professional Yachtsman took him around the world where his international sound was eventually formulated. His musical style was first inspired in Puerto Nuevo, Mexico by a duet known as "Latcho and Andrea" who conducted a Spanish/Flamenco performance on his yacht. Since then, his passion grew for this free-style and adventurously spirited style of the Spanish guitar. 00:20:00Talk with Marienokuya kano,tukso okey,concert window,second life,twitterTALK! with Marie Presents Musicians Kuya Kano Concert Window & Tukso Okey Second LifeTALK! with Marie Presents Musician Lindsey Hinkle @ConcertWindow & @BookBubhttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/talkwithmarie/2015/08/28/talk-with-marie-presents-musician-lindsey-hinkle-concertwindow-bookbubMusichttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/talkwithmarie/2015/08/28/talk-with-marie-presents-musician-lindsey-hinkle-concertwindow-bookbub/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/talkwithmarie/2015/08/28/talk-with-marie-presents-musician-lindsey-hinkle-concertwindow-bookbubFri, 28 Aug 2015 22:30:00 GMTTALK! with Marie Presents Musician Lindsey Hinkle @ConcertWindow & @BookBubToday's show features Singer/Songwriter Lindsey Hinkle on Concert Window.  Stay connected on twitter!

I've been trying to attend at least one literary event in the greater Boston area. I attended a reading by Author Maxine Hong Kingston. Today's episode will focus on Janis Ian's The Tiny Mouse, Fantasy Faire in SL, Brain Pickings's list of 15 children's books. This Sunday, I'm hosting a special two-hour poetry event with a fellow writer at Fantasy Faire  Poetry at Fantasy Faire, April 23-May 3 Celebrating its seventh year, Fantasy Faire 2015 is the largest gathering of fantasy designers, enthusiasts, roleplayers and performers in the virtual world. From Thursday, April 23 to Sunday May 3, treat yourself to eleven days of shopping, live music concerts, auctions, hunts, events and roleplaying as thousands of Second Life residents and creators bring their own visions together to support the American Cancer Society’s vision of a world without cancer. The Tiny Mouse by Janis Ian About Brain Pickings Brain Pickings is a cross-disciplinary LEGO treasure chest, full of pieces spanning art, science, psychology, design, philosophy, history, politics, anthropology, and more; pieces that enrich our mental pool of resources and empower combinatorial ideas that are stronger, smarter, richer, deeper and more impactful. Above all, it’s about how these different disciplines illuminate one another to glean some insight, directly or indirectly, into that grand question of how to live, and how to live well. 00:41:00Talk with Marienosecond life,fantasy faire sl,brains pickings,the tiny mouse,national poetry monthThis is the final week of National Poetry Month.

As the first generation from her Nigerian family born in the U.S., the soul, jazz, and gospel music of America reside within her just as comfortably as the musical traditions of West Africa. She brings to them her unique ear for harmonies and phrasing, her ground-shaking, power vocals, and her unmatched versatility to create music that is fresh, inspiring, and just plain fun. Her debut album, "Offiong Bassey" (released on her label Moonlit Media Group), is a nuanced, mosaic of songs that truly represent who she is as an artist – a genre-bending mix that includes Afro-Peruvian rhythms, funk, R&B and Nigerian Ekombi. The album debuted at #2 on the CMJ New World Music adds chart its first week in radio promotions and reached #4 on the Soultracks music chart.

LLK operates from a virtual office where people can come in and inform themselves about our work in Kenya, look at photos and, if an LLK member is present, hold a conversation. There are real people behind all of the so-called avatars, so real conversations are held – as well as meetings – either by typing your message or by speaking over a microphone.

She started performing publicly when she was 12, at church, coffeehouses and other functions. In 1996, Shannon recorded her debut CD, Some of My Years, an independent release produced by Eric Garrison at China Moon Studios. The CD features 12 original songs in a contemporary folk style with a hint of country flavor. Shannon’s rich vocals are reminiscent of Joan Baez and Natalie Merchant. Since 2008, Shannon has been performing daily for worldwide audiences in Second Life an online virtual world that offers a place to explore, socialize and participate in a host of activities, including live music. In May 2009, Shannon’s song “The Test,” was the winning song in a songwriting contest for Amnesty International. A recording of “The Test” will also appear on a benefit CD featuring New Haven, CT area musicians. 00:18:00Talk with Marienopoetry,live music,second live,shannon oherhilyJoin Marie to hear from writers and musicians in Second Life.
