Good evening, I am a Greek educator of underage and adult students. I want to conduct seminars and lessons/courses for adults in SL. I have visited the Linden Lab website, but I confess that I haven't been helped, instead, I feel confused. I have also sent an email for clarifications to business@lindenlab.com, but I haven't received a response yet. Below, I list some questions, which I hope someone can answer and guide me: What is the process of conducting lessons/courses/classes in SL? How can I use the Public Meeting Spaces? Are there specific groups, that I can contact? Do you have other places/groups/people to suggests? I would greatly appreciate any information and help, because I don't know how to proceed. Thank you in advance for your help. Yours sincerely, Sylviaangel Faintree

Greetings to all. Renaissance Island, created in 2007, has been a venue in the Tudor period of English history. There are several areas which can be used as a virtual classroom. There are exhibits of printing, weaving, sheep farming and other agricultural life. There is also a horse/hiking trail with information on the Tudors. Another trail is currently under renovations and when ready will have information on the impact the monarchs had on England economically, religiously and life among the commoners. Other events in Renaissance Island are live music, storytelling, and occasional hunt, and sidewalk sales in Merchant's Row. The below landmarks will take you to the various areas of the region for exploration at your leisure. Enjoy your visit. http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Renaissance Island/191/190/27 http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Renaissance Island/10/147/502 http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Renaissance Island/119/104/27 http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Renaissance Island/195/53/27 http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Renaissance Island/226/56/2003 http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Renaissance Island/81/172/27 Amza Hydraconis Estate Manager Renaissance Island

Do you have an interest in Tudor, England? Have you always wanted to learn more about this intriguing and pivotal period? If yes, Renaissance Island’s Parish of Reading Primley may be the place for you! At Renaissance Island we learn through doing. Whatever education, general interest, or roleplaying experience you have, this is an opportunity to participate in a living museum. Mix healing remedies in the apothecary! Stage a play at the Globe Theatre! There are many ideas as to how a Globe Theatre came to be in our Parish! Share a glass of cider at the pub—we’ve been told it’s the best in all the land! Create a book or tell a story! Partake of a jousting tournie! Attend a period music concert--or play a tune yourself! There are many, many ways to participate! Residency is not a requirement; i.e. you can roleplay without having to rent (though we are always very appreciative for those who do). You do not even have to be human! Although period clothing is unnecessary for visitors, for those wanting to be part of the Parish, it is required; otherwise, it might call too much attention to ourselves. We’ve done well to not have had any accusations of witchcraft over the years! We’ve also never been visited by the plague. Some say it is because of the cats that roam; others say that it’s the vapors that emanate from our sacred well. We are a very welcoming Parish, as a result. Renaissance Island can never be 100% authentic, but we can take certain measures. Ours is a journey to authenticity as we learn more about the period and building/scripting advances. For instance, birds and quadruped animal avatars need to be species that one would find in a Tudor parish or native to England. There was a time a visiting elephant escaped…. There are several options for characters: All roleplay positions are volunteer positions. Below are the roles we have left. HUMANS: Librarian (the sim is sponsored by a library organization, after all!) Printer Blacksmith Manor servants Tavern Keeper Townsfolk Theatre Director Actors Children (Real life adults wearing a child avatar) Miller 3 Sheep Farmers(houses, sheep & shearing pens provided) Weaver Brewers-Beer and Ale Cider Maker Honey Mead Maker Cheese Maker Apothecary From time to time the Parish may need to contribute to a militia, which in turn would need to have practice and exercises. So far, we’ve never been invaded by outside forces. Those with scripting and/or building skills most welcome. ANIMAL AVATARS: Farm animals (especially sheep) Dogs Cats Birds native to England Deer native to England Or, pitch us an idea! Contact Amza Hydraconis via notecard or IM for more information, questions and/or a tour. The name of the notecard should be in the following format: Date To Amza Hydraconis frm your user name. (No display names.) IM should be titled Living Museum. The below LM is you wish to visit Renaissance Island and explore on your own. http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Renaissance Island/106/99/27

The Vintage Reader's Book Club holds a meeting once a month to discuss a text from the 1910s or earlier. If you enjoy books, tea, and good conversation then please do stop on by and join us.

The Town of Philomena welcomes you to visit our small town set in the Progressive Era of 1910-1919. Philomena is designed as a small town set in America. With its nostalgic view of the past, the community boasts a park, library, chapel, trolley, museums, shops, and homes. We are not a strict Role-play community, but view ourselves as a venue for virtual living history where we engage in light, situational role-play and enjoy the lifestyle, history, and education the theme offers. Dressing in period clothing and using period items is strongly encouraged. If interested in joining our growing community, please contact Thaddeus Nadeau.

Does anyone know which places have free Napoleonic clothes? I am looking for historical clothes that I can afford and since I am a newbie, my money is low.
