Were the people in old civilizations like ancient Athens more intelligent than us? If so, what has happened to us? How far will the deterioration go? And how long ago did it start? Our brains are smaller now than the brains of Cro-Magnon people. Were the Cro-Magnons more intelligent than we are?
What will happen in the future? How realistic is the movie ‘Idiocracy’? Will the human species in the future become really stupid, as happened in that movie? How can we turn the tide?
Perhaps you think that we are not becoming less intelligent. Or perhaps you think that we are developing different modes of thought that may be more valuable than the logical thought of the past? Or perhaps you think it might be a good idea to be a bit stupider. We might be happier that way.
Come and join us to talk about brainpower over the ages. IM Kathen Ohtobide if you have any trouble finding us.

SPOTLIGHT ON SL’S GOT TALENT 2016 WINNER Scarlett LaRoux

SL’s GOT TALENT (SLGT) Contest was created and first produced in 2013 by Jackie
Lefko. She is the CEO of BlueByrd Entertainment (formerly Lefko Entertainment).
The idea of SLGT came to Jackie after debuting several new SL performers at her
venue, The Speakeasy. She felt a contest would be a great opportunity for
those looking to showcase their talent but to also engage in a personal
challenge.
Jakie Lefko |
Each round features a variety of genres and
the judges have the difficult task of deciding who moves on to the next round. Artists who make it to through have a significant
chance to be the last competitor standing to receive this prestigious award.
Scarlett LaRoux |
Sound the trumpet… This year’s SL’s Got
Talent Winner is Scarlett LaRoux (scarlettla.roux), a musical gem in Second Life as well as the
owner of Scarlett’s Place; a venue built on love and mutual admiration for
soul, good music and good company. Scarlett’s sound is smooth and soulful. She
truly has a fabulous gift that she readily shares with others. If you were to
close your eyes and listen closely, you would almost feel as if you have been
transported back in time to a smoky Jazz club.
In RL she sings
Jazz, R&B, and Soft Rock. She has sung in a cappella groups that covered
genres from gospel to rock, and has done solo performances that cover many
genres. Her voice is her instrument and she loves use it to speak to and
influence audiences.
The SL Enquirer caught up with Scarlett to
give you a behind the scenes look at the woman behind the voice.
Meet Scarlett LaRoux
Hi
Scarlett first and foremost, congratulations on winning SL’s Got Talent 2016.
Can you tell your fans what it felt like to hear the announcement?
Scarlett:
I was hoping for that outcome, but mostly I was surprised. It was amazing to know that the judges felt
that I deserved to win the contest. It
was a privilege to be considered the top performer from this great group of
performers in the contest. I heard that
the scores in the final round were really close. That fact makes me more grateful for the
opportunity to sing for this group. I
met some really dynamic performers during the contest, and hope to remain
friends with them for a long time. The
first couple of days after the event were a bit overwhelming with lots of
places to be and a lot of people to talk to.
Where
are you from and when did you begin singing?
Scarlett:
I’m from North Carolina, near the Southern Part of Heaven. J I’ve been singing for as long as I can
remember. My first performances were in
church. I remember the first time I
realized that people applauded a performance of mine. It was when I was about four years old, and
my dad was singing in church. Somehow I
made my way from the pews to where he was singing, and I started singing with
him. I also did a little dance. Evidently the singing was okay, but the
dancing put my mother over the edge.
After that I sang with the youth choir and in school.
My first solo performance was for a
celebration for the small town I lived in.
I was about eleven years old at the time. The ceremony was held in the town square, and
I sang “The Wings of a Dove.” I remember
everyone had gone quiet. I thought they’d
hated it. But people were crying, and
afterwards I was overwhelmed by hugs. That’s when I realized music had an emotional
impact and I decided I’d sing “to” people not “at” them or “for” them.
Who
inspired you the most throughout your singing career? (both in SL and RL)
Scarlett:
Hmmm. Inspiration comes in many forms. So I’d say in RL one of my biggest
inspirations was my 8th grade choral instructor, who at the time
told me that my vocal range was “impractical.”
Even with that assessment, he worked with me to increase my range and
develop vocal control.
Professionally, I’m in love with Ella
Fitzgerald and her vocal acrobatics, and ease of improvisation. I also derive some of my vocal stylings from
artists like Luther Vandross and Natalie Cole.
In SL, I think my inspiration comes from my
closest SL friends. They have believed
in me since day one. I still have
friends in SL that I met when I logged in about nine years ago. Some I have met in person, and we’ve become
great friends in RL and in SL. There are some special people that I have
connected with deeply and their opinion and suggestions matter a lot to
me. I use their input to continue to
develop my craft. I rely on their ears
to tell me whether or not a song is suited to me.
Believe me, there are times I want to sing
certain songs, but I cannot connect to them emotionally. When I practice, or
try out new music, these friends can tell immediately whether I am connecting,
just by the tone of my voice when I sing.
When
did you discover you could perform in Second Life? What were your thoughts?
Scarlett:
I’d gone around listening to various performers with a friend of mine,
and heard MidKnight Auer. He’s a great jazz performer. For some time after hearing that performance I
thought how cool was that? I too could actually sing music that I liked in a
place like this, and to people who liked the same kind of music I do.
A few weeks later, I scheduled my first performance
at a venue called Catch a Falling Star. Silverwind
Tzedek was the owner. That first performance was rough. I nearly hyperventilated, and the stream was
too slow, so it was a little choppy. I still
can’t believe the people who were there sat through it.
As a
singer, what do you find the most challenging and rewarding?
Scarlett:
The most challenging thing for me is to keep my fingers on the
audience’s pulse, and to find music that I can share with them that they’ll
like.
Describe
what it feels like to perform. Is it something that comes naturally or do you
feel nervous before a performance?
Scarlett: Before most performances I am a
little nervous. I talk through an intro to make a connection with the audience,
and sing the first few notes of a song, after which things start to come more
easily. As long as I feel like I have
two-way communication with the audience I’m fine. My dad has always said that I put the ham in
ham, so if I know someone likes what I’m doing that’s like adding wood to the
fire, and makes me go a little bigger.
Can
you share one of your most memorable moments in your singing career?
Scarlett:
One of the most memorable moments has been winning the SLGT
contest. It blew my mind right outta my
head. Who knew! I had taken some time away and was a little
bit out of practice.
Someone hadn’t shown up for a performance
at Café Musique, and I asked Laya Sugarplum if I could sing until the next scheduled
performer showed up. She said, “yes,”
even though she didn’t know me from Adam.
Shortly after that she told me about the SLGT contest. She knew I was trying to ease back into
performing in SL and thought that it would be good for me.
Not
only do you perform in Second Life but you also manage your own venue;
Scarlett’s Place. Can you tell our readers about this venue and people who
visit and talent that graces your stage?
Scarlett:
Scarlett’s place came about because I had benefactors in SL for a while,
Atticus Falconer and Arwyn Lavendel.
They actually built Scarlett’s place because they wanted me to have
somewhere to sing that had my name on it. Sadly, Atticus died RL and we had to
move Scarlett’s place, so I moved the physical club to the first plot of land I
ever “lived” on in SL.
As you can probably tell, I’m a little
sentimental, holding on to that parcel for so long. Scarlett’s place is pretty much a hangout for
anyone who wants to go there, and for anyone who wants to sing there. When I run into people who are learning to
perform in SL, I bring them to Scarlett’s Place and help them with the
technical aspects of it. If they need or
want vocal coaching, I provide that too.
I’m just paying forward the kindnesses that people have shown me through
the years.
Before
we wrap up this interview, is there anything else you would like to share with
our readers?
Scarlett:
I love singing as much as some people love chocolate. RL my coworkers know whether I’m having a
good day or a bad day by the songs I sing, or by the phrases I set to music coming
out of just general conversation.
Thank
you so much for taking the time for this interview and again congratulations!

Second Life Christmas Sims Worth Seeing - Part 3-A review of Holiday Christmas Town - Dean Lawson reporting
Friday, December 02, 2016
christmas, christmas sim, Christmas town, Dean Lawson, holiday, second life, The SL Enquirer
No comments
Holiday Christmas Town owned by Tayren’s Fantasy Fashions, is a picturesque sim great for Second Life photographers. Upon teleporting to the sim you will arrive in front of the main store, but if you negotiate your way across a cobble stone road you will find a wintry landscape worthy of a snapshot or two.
On either side of this cobble stone path are smaller stores with Medieval winter outfits for sale. Past the shops is a river and an old rustic bridge that leads to a pasture where mythical beasts graze.
Beyond this pasture is a campsite with a gazebo with a piano that can be used should you be in the mood to serenade that special someone. And when you tire of tickling the ivories you can follow a winding path to a plateau where you will find reindeer, an igloo hideaway, a merry-go-round, an ice skating rink, carolling elves and Santa’s workshop.
This is a family friendly fantasy sim that rates 4 out of 5 stars

Bono Fouroux : Mindblowing Guitarist in SL- Seersha Heart reporting...
Thursday, December 01, 2016
1 comment
Bono Fouroux is a
unique musician in SL. He can make his
guitar “sing” as he plays blues, jazz, or rock [no acoustic]. He also can *make* his guitar! Bono constructs guitars from scratch “Always trying to make different characters of sounds.” Self
taught from an early age, this Amsterdam native plays as many as three to four
sets many days in SL. He came to SL on
the recommendation of friends and has been here since that time. Here are what people are saying about him:
“THE
GUITAR WIZARD and all it takes to agree is listen to him for a few minutes.
Whether it's Blues, Rock, or Jazz, his smooth playing is filled with emotion,
speaking to your heart.”
“CHOCK
full of pure passion! Bono is one of the most innovative guitarists of the
decade. His soul inspired techniques, styles and intonations are woven into
wonderful melodies that only a truly gifted artist of his nature of his kind
can produce!!!”
“A
symphonic collision waiting to happen, Bono is a man with intense connections
to his music. He delves into the very soul of it, inviting you to experience
with him the joy, sadness, love and excitement of an amazing journey powered by
a guitar that lives to sing under his fingertips.”
I
caught up with Bono at the Guitar Museum in world to ask him a few questions. I hope you will enjoy his personal anecdotes,
they are great.
Interview with Bono
Seersha Heart: Hello
Bono. I have read that you taught
yourself how to play the guitar when you were very young, around twelve years
old. What lead you to that first guitar
at such an early age?
Bono Fouroux: Hello
Seersha. I heard albatross of peter green and that made me buy a first
guitar, I was still in school, it was 1968 or so. I earned my money for it myself
Seersha Heart: When
did you become ~passionate~ with guitar?
Bono Fouroux: I already played a few years but soso then Fleetwood
Mac’s Peter Green was my main drive later…but this was my serious sign to work
on the study for playing
Seersha Heart: Do
you customize your guitars? You make a
whole guitar?
Bono Fouroux: I started to make guitars about 5 years
ago…but not all need to be customized ..some are so well made I don’t need to
change them. For the ones I make, I
order great parts....well chosen and I make them fitting the other parts,
because not all fit.
Seersha Heart: Which
part is hardest to pick? The neck?
Bono Fouroux:In fact every part has its own difficulties, a neck can be just
slightly too thick for the body then I have to sand it very precisely, but
mostly it will fit. I do sanding fitting
,.,sanding fitting etc. until it is okay.
Seersha Heart: Do
you have a sound in your head that guitar should make?
Bono Fouroux: Not exactly....it is always a surprise how it is going to
sound, but once I’ve heard it I can go on with that too. I search my wiring diagrams and sometime I
find even one myself by accident at some guitar, then I solder the wiring. I look for good luxury parts what makes the
guitar better quality too...so it is always a nice product For instance a thing where I look for is
nowadays 22 fretted necks.......because once I studied my songs at the neck ..I
learned them to play on that way...and I use 24 fretted ones too but that is 2
extra for the really high notes. Those
necks are on ‘ready’ sold guitars, btw I get myself always locking tuners on my
own products.
Seersha Heart: I have read that you are also a composer of
music. Will you tell me the name of one of your favorite compositions?
Bono Fouroux: I once made a
piece called Confuse Me....it was a long time ago and it was a number of all
different rhythms and riffs fitted together. I recorded it with a friend in his
semiprofessional studio and in fact it never was ready to play. Too complicated
for a band and to play it live, but it was great.
Seersha Heart: I
have read that you make the guitar sing with emotion. How does that
statement make you feel? Are you flattered/happy? Do you think
guitars sing?
Bono Fouroux: It is just nice
to hear that listeners like what I do on guitar. That they enjoy what I play.
It seems to be so that true listeners of me can hear in what kind of mood I
even am. The most funny was the comment in local of a woman who heard me play
and said after some songs in local:
“Bono
your playing is so good and touches me so in the centre of my soul that I have
to smack somebody in the face and since I am here alone with my husband, he
will be the one.”
And a
little later she said I did it. You understand that I laughed the hell out of
it, And so did the whole room of the audience. That was so funny.
Seersha Heart: That
is hysterically funny! I can read from
your profile have many deep wonderful friendships in SL. Your profile
says no relations? Why?
Bono Fouroux: I am here just
for the music and/but I tried two times to be with a woman here, but it didn’t
work out and gave me a lot troubles in fact, so that I decided not to get
involved here in SL anymore. I had not tried it in 8 years of my stay in SL and
that was without any troubles in relations. I tried it two times and it didn’t
work. The coincidence was that they both were having their birthday on the same
day. 11/11 :) Another coincidence is that I answered your questions at the same
date. Isn’t that funny.
Seersha Heart: That
IS funny and ironic. What advice would
you give other musicians interested in trying SL?
Bono Fouroux: That it is fun
to do and you get some appreciation for your playing on this way [in SL].
Seersha Heart: Please
tell me about the people you sing/play with in world. Who are your best
partnerships for performances?
Bono Fouroux: Of course that
is with Luvofmusic and Veronica Weksler.
The
best partnerships are the ones where you are very close friends with somebody,
so that you share the same feelings while playing and that happens with some of
the ones. It is such a fun then to play together and to appreciate what the
other does. It is too bad that there still is not a way of playing live with
them on the internet so that we both can hear us well, without any problems.
Sometimes they say try this and try that, but I play mostly with people from
The States and that is for software what can make u share the music in real
time together, not very easy. Normal dual streaming goes like in a chain. The
first one plays his music and streams it uploading to the second one who
receives the stream in his computer and ads his sound to it and that together
he streams to the internet. So the first one doesn’t hear the second one. A
recording of the sum of the two makes it all possible later to hear it for the
first one.
Seersha Heart: It’s
been a pleasure Bono, thank you for your time.
Bono Fouroux: Sure any time.
Bono plays the guitar between three
and four hours most days in SL. Along
with playing and building guitars he rides a Harley Davidson IRL. He tried motorcycles in world but to quote
him “suddenly u bump in too lag and u fly high un the sky with it ha ha ha”.
Sample listing of equipment Bono has on hand
to use to play his music: Fender Stratocasters, Fender 12 electric (Hockeystick),
Gibson Les Paul, ES 335, SG Custom, Ibanez LP,
Marshall JCM 900 Stack, Fender Vibroverb, Peavy Combo, Sessionette 75
Digitech 2120, Roland V99, Ibanez PT-5, Dunlop Wah, Cry Baby, Deja Vibe

Seven great Second Life gift ideas for the Christmas Holidays - Dean Lawson reporting

’Tis the season to be stressing about what to get your loved ones! Do you have friends and family in SL? Do you have a Secret Santa going on at your place of business? Well here are seven awesome gift ideas.
The *MCS* HolidayToyTrainSet-Tree is a nice way to decorate a home or place of business. With an animated toy train that circles a fully decorated tree with an assortment of wrapped gifts at the base, this holiday gift goes for 300L at the Winter Holiday Village sim.
The Christmas scenery - Xmas Carolers *E&M*, brought to you by Love Garden *E&M* Design, is a fun and interactive gift idea where you and a friend can sit on stage and join the carollers in performing Christmas classics. The stage is propped up by a tree truck with a multilingual sign that bids all a Merry Christmas in English, Spanish, French, Portuguese and German. This is a large object so, while it is not ideal for smaller indoor spaces, it will surely attract the attention and is a great entrance decoration for anyone with a large sim.
Tyren’s Fantasy Fashions, located at Holiday Christmas Town, has an assortment of Medieval costumes that fit the Christmas season. My pick would be the Toy Soldier costume with designs for both men and women. For 150L this is perfect for a costume party, a stage performance of the Nutracker Suite or can be used for alts or employees to enhance a sim’s Christmas theme.
For those of you with a taste for the unusual, Never You Mind has an assortment of oddities for the Christmas season. Oh My Ears Krismischifs for 140L is a great revenge gift for someone you feel obligated to shop for but don’t really want to. Oh My Ears Krismischifs are two adorably grotesque carollers who half sing half rant their way through an assortment of Christmas classics. The recipient of this gift will surely find it amusing for the first few minutes but will inevitably be driven insane by the endless cacophony.
There are times when the commercialism of Christmas can lead to cynicism but, in remembrance of the true Christmas Spirit there are several nativity scenes that can be purchased in the marketplace, many of them are under ten lindens, however the one that appealed to me in its simplicity is the Light Box Silhouette - Nativity by Challis Products that offers a demo version so you can see for yourself if it will make a good gift before spending 200L for the full version.
While there is little doubt that Second Life vendors will be saturating the market with candy cane stripper gear, the sexiest outfit on the grid is easily THUD - Santa Avatar by Tommy Hilf Unique Designs. For 200L it’s a great gift to give yourself as it's sure to get the hotties sitting on your lap.
Now if you’re facing the Holiday season with a limited budget, Santa Claus is giving away free gifts at Christmas Decorations at The House of Avro. Everyday the old fellow gives away a free random gift and all you have to do is sit on his lap and make him smile.
Are you addicted to SL? - Lacy Muircastle reporting...

Image from New World Notes |
The other day I was happily profile perving, you know as one does... I mean how else am I going to weed out interesting tid bits to pass on?
Anyway apologies to the avatar whose profile I stole this from, I omitted to make a note of his name.
It went as follows:
You know you're addicted to SL when:
#10.Checking out at a Grocery store You sign your Avatar's name instead of your own
# 9. You tell your Mom you will TP Over In 5 mins.
# 8. When a friend asks you for directions, you offer to give him a landmark or a TP.
# 7. You jump up into the air, thinking you can fly.
# 6. When someone asks to borrow your notes in class, you
tell them they are no-transfer.
# 5. When you walk, and say to yourself, "/ao on"
# 4. You start using the words "Rez"and
"Prim"...
# 3. You keep trying to right click things...
# 2. When you look in the mirror and think, "I need to
adjust my appearance".
This is just a bit of fun but it got me thinking, is SL addictive? In my opinion it is.
The definition of addiction is:
addiction
noun
the fact or condition of being addicted to a particular
substance or activity.
"he committed the offence to finance his drug
addiction"
synonyms:
|
Think back to when you first joined Second Life. The learning curve was immense and getting
your head around moving, changing your avatar’s appearance and generally
acclimatising to the wonderful world of SL was simply mind blowing. It may have been a challenge, but hey you
were up for said challenge weren’t you? The
lure of the mystical virtual world was compelling, you couldn’t wait to log
on. Am I wrong?
You began to find yourself doing stupid things like taking
your laptop to bed with you and putting it in the laundry basket in the
bathroom? Right? What were you going to do? Log on while
pretending to be on the loo? And to what
end? It’s not like it wasn’t going to be
there the next day.
What exactly was it that you were addicted to? The opportunity to connect with people? Playing Barbie Dolls for big girls and Action
Man for big boys? Was it the fear of missing out? Or was it because you were now the cool
popular girl or guy in your circle of friends?
Think back to when you were a teenager: how important was it for you to
be cool?
The word cool originated back in the 1920’s in jazz clubs
where if you were cool, it meant you were someone who knew how to strut your
stuff via dancing, the clothes you wore, and the way you talked. It was an
acknowledgement that the way you expressed yourself was unique and respected by
others. It’s very similar to when a peacock struts its feathers to show off.
In today’s day and age, to be cool or popular is a bit
different from how it originally started. Because everyone wants to be cool
it’s now more about social acceptance via standing out. There’s still a slight
component of being different and unique but because everyone is trying to be
different and unique it’s now a form of conformity.
Okay so maybe it’s not being cool that you’re addicted
to. Is it the fact that Second Life
allows you to try things you would never do in real life? You can fly, express you creativity in a
myriad of ways, start your own business, you name it, you can do it.
Does it offer sexual freedom? Does Fifty Shades of Grey tickle your fancy,
but it’s never going to happen in RL?
Does SL offer you a safe environment to be as promiscuous as you like in
the safety of the anonymity it offers? Is your real life missing something? Or do you just want to be beautiful?
At some point you begin asking yourself what are you doing
in SL and for most the addiction does wane.
Eventually… And gets replaced with disillusion. And why disillusion? That’s easy to answer, residents of SL are
operated by RL humans and therefore are inclined to perpetuate the negative
traits of said humans due to the aforementioned anonymity. That’s not to say that the positive traits
aren’t in play as well. Because they
are, especially when it comes to raising funds for charity.
It’s difficult to sustain a productive real life whilst
fully immersing yourself in your virtual life.
Moderation is required as with most things in life. Second Life can and does facilitate personal
growth. You just have to learn how to
embrace it without letting it consume you.
Join the conversation and let me know why you were or are
addicted to Second Life.

Top 5 Combat Sims in SL – Camury Reporting...
Wednesday, November 30, 2016
Camury, LLCS, second life, SL, SL combat regions, SL Role Play
No comments
En Garde… Time to dust off
your weapon of choice and get ready to have fun in the combat games! Combat is
a type of interactive multiplayer conflict within a game between two or more
online participants. In Second Life you can join combat events where the
residents have fun simulating fights against other residents based on pre-established
rules that constitute the combat system.
There are two types of combat
systems in Second Life: Linden Lab’s combat system (LLCS) and the combat
systems created by residents. For many residents, the LL’s combat system doesn’t
offer the expected flexibility of those who play various multiplayer
games. As a result teams of residents have started
creating their own combat systems using the tools of creation available to all
residents. Subsequently the communities of role players grew, and now combat is
a popular activity throughout Second Life.
Some SL sims are designed for
the sole purpose of combat, on other sims combat is part of a bigger
role-playing theme.
There are thousands of weapons
in Second Life to choose from, i.e. melee weapons through to ranged weapons.
A melee
weapon is a weapon used in hand-to-hand combat such as a bladed weapon or
a blunt weapon. The term Melee originated in the 1640s from the
French word mêlée, which refers to hand-to-hand combat, a close quarters
battle, a brawl, a confused fight, etc.
A ranged weapon is any weapon that can harm targets
at distances greater than hand-to-hand distance. That’s not all as there are also grenades, traps, magic spells and other
types of weapons specific to each game.
For beginners, places like New
Jessie, New Bastogne, Tulagi, SSOC, and Public LLCS combat areas, like Rausch,
are a good idea. They cater to different tastes, and therefore are the five
combat areas that we will have a look at.
New Jessie
New Jessie is the premier SIM

shore front with barbed wire and tank spikes. In New Jessie you will find a weapons’ store,
many free weapons and a combat museum detailing the history of combat’s early
days in Second Life.
New Bastogne

you can find several WW2 groups specific to role play (RP) in Second Life. Several
groups were created, in the SIM, to augment the combat games that normally
occur. The SIM, simulate NAZI Occupied France. You may want to be part of the La Résistance Française,
a group dedicated to espionage and sabotage role play in this WW2 Era. They work
in coordination with the following groups: ALLIED INTELLIGENCE and 366 Squadron
RAF and have fun
running different missions.

of the Jeogeot Gulf Freight System. Haul, defend or sink freight for cool
rewards and even free warships. Set out

SSOC
Tokyo-Wind Hill City
Come check out the action in
the SSOC Tokyo-Wind Hill City. This is a modern sim with a modern
military-combat area in the tradition of a Japanese city. You can watch and
participate in realistic urban military combat and have fun with an original
combat system.
Public LLCS combat areas
Rausch, Blue Base and Red Base are a few of the most
popular public combat sims of the LLCS. These three sims are free-for-all
sandboxes. There is a “safe zone” in Rausch where you cannot be attacked. It’s usually surrounded by big yellow markers where
you can find other players and get information. Rausch is a public sandbox and
unlike a private combat sim, anything goes there. It’s very likely that you will be killed
before you know who killed you, although it also means that you can kill others
the same way.
The Destination Guide includes
fun places to visit for combat games.
These are listed under the Sports and Games category, as well as the
Role-playing Communities category.
Choose your favorite combat
area and have FUN!
