Maya and PolkaDot were invited to join AuntFun Ellison (the administrator) on her island at DeVry GSP 240-219-22. Her friend Aliea Ember (she is the developer of the island) joined us later. We met AuntFun after a presentation we attended on ISTE island, "Providing leadership and service to improve teaching and learning by advancing the effective use of technology in education. ISTE represents more than 85,000 professionals worldwide. We support our members with information, networking opportunities, and guidance as they face the challenge of transforming education."
Here is an excerpt of our conversation:
[19:19] AuntFun Ellison: I think there are so many compelling reasons why virtual worlds are an idea whose time has come
[19:20] AuntFun Ellison: our Earth cannot support our commuting model
[19:20] PolkaDot Pechmann: That is for sure.
[19:20] AuntFun Ellison: the economy can't afford to fly people all over the place for meetings
[19:20] AuntFun Ellison: a dispersed workforce is a safer, happy workforce
[19:20] You: but do you think it's productive?
[19:20] AuntFun Ellison: what's productuve?
[19:20] AuntFun Ellison gave you DeVry GSP Welcome Gift.
[19:20] PolkaDot Pechmann: Well, look at the recent AA grounding.
[19:20] AuntFun Ellison: a dispersed workforce?
[19:21] AuntFun Ellison: totally!
[19:21] AuntFun Ellison: I work MORE hours than if I were in an office
[19:21] PolkaDot Pechmann: Where everyone had to get rerouted etc.
[19:21] AuntFun Ellison: you are so right, PD!
[19:21] You: how can I sell this to my boss -- library director?
[19:21] PolkaDot Pechmann: Can you imagine if you were supposed to be at a meeting?
[19:22] AuntFun Ellison: there are a TON of librarians here in SL!
[19:22] AuntFun Ellison: librarians MUST stay on the leading edge of technology to stay relevant
***********************************
[19:23] AuntFun Ellison: Maya - if you can remove the barrier of proximity, staffing gets easier
[19:23] AuntFun Ellison: resources = money is tough
[19:23] AuntFun Ellison: but with SL, you are not bound by walls
[19:23] PolkaDot Pechmann: Do you mind if we take some picutres as we chat? We are required to post pics in Flickr for the class.
[19:24] AuntFun Ellison: you'll find that many people work for less in SL than they would in RL because they like being remote
[19:24] AuntFun Ellison: go right ahead!
[19:24] PolkaDot Pechmann: Thanks.
[19:24] AuntFun Ellison: and if you are interested, I can introduce you to the developer of this island, Aliea Ember
[19:24] AuntFun Ellison: but I think she is off line just now
[19:24] You: yes, I would like to meet her
[19:24] You: do you rent the land?
[19:25] You: how much is the upkeep?
[19:25] PolkaDot Pechmann: My sister-in-law was just de-activated after being active for 5 years. When she returned to her job, she was told she could work at home if she wanted.
[19:25] AuntFun Ellison: I just IM'd her
[19:25] AuntFun Ellison: she'll stop by if she can
[19:25] PolkaDot Pechmann: The company would pay for some things like her computer, Internet connection and a second phone line.
[19:26] AuntFun Ellison: nice
[19:26] AuntFun Ellison: and it's cheaper for the company than to bring her in to an office
[19:26] PolkaDot Pechmann: And, it would save them 10s of thousands of dollars on cubicle space.
[19:26] AuntFun Ellison: all the major corporations are doing it
[19:26] AuntFun Ellison: Intel, IBM, Xerox...
[19:26] You: I was also thinking that most workers have to commute
[19:26] You: and with the price of gas these days
[19:26] AuntFun Ellison: maya - these are round numbers - the latest numbers can be found on SecondLife.com
[19:26] AuntFun Ellison: but it costs about $1500 for an island
[19:27] You: it would make sense if you could work from home
[19:27] AuntFun Ellison: and monthly fees are about $300
[19:27] You: dollars or Linden dollars?
[19:27] AuntFun Ellison: to hire a developer, depending on what you want, costs around $1500
[19:27] AuntFun Ellison: plus expenses
[19:27] AuntFun Ellison: those are real dollars
[19:27] You: wow
[19:27] You: do you have any revenue?
[19:27] AuntFun Ellison: but think about what you save...
[19:27] PolkaDot Pechmann: I'm trying to get a better camera angle, not working real well.
[19:27] AuntFun Ellison: we don't have revenue here
[19:28] AuntFun Ellison: and many of the companies that I have read about did not do well with revenue producing islands
[19:28] You: that's good, in a way because the islands that are revenue driven really turn me off
[19:28] AuntFun Ellison: those who have made big money in SL have done it through buying land and subdividing it
[19:28] You: I have heard that you could make money in SL, but didn't know how
[19:29] AuntFun Ellison: silverandgoldie.com/linden_congress.htm
[19:29] PolkaDot Pechmann: How do you feel about the avatars perhaps mis-representing people? Is that good or bad?
[19:29] AuntFun Ellison: check that out when you have the chance
[19:29] You: thank you for the link.
[19:29] AuntFun Ellison: in it, the founder of SL shows what the University of Illinois School of Public Health has done
[19:29] You: I copied it to my notes and will look at it later
[19:29] AuntFun Ellison: they replicated some Chicago city streets and get to role play disasters
[19:30] AuntFun Ellison: what happens if there is a sniper?
[19:30] You: that's interesting
[19:30] AuntFun Ellison: what happens if there is a toxic spill?
[19:30] AuntFun Ellison: think of how much real $$ that saves them
[19:30] AuntFun Ellison: they can role play and learn
[19:30] AuntFun Ellison: and spend nothing replicating spaces in RL
[19:30] AuntFun Ellison: or blocking off city streets for training
[19:30] AuntFun Ellison: and it is all replicatable
[19:30] AuntFun Ellison: they can do it again and again and again
[19:30] You: yes, we tried building some basic shapes earlier
[19:30] AuntFun Ellison: for no additional development costs
[19:31] AuntFun Ellison: there are myriad ways a company can save money using SL
[19:31] AuntFun Ellison: most professionals need some sort of continuing education credit every year
[19:31] You: you would have to be very tech-savvy though
[19:31] AuntFun Ellison: if you use SL, you don't have to fly anywhere
[19:32] AuntFun Ellison: well, most people can learn how to use SL, although it takes some skills - like Aliea's - to be a developer
[19:32] Aliea Ember: Hi
[19:32] AuntFun Ellison: Hi ALiea!
[19:32] You: I just thought of a webinar that I attended
[19:32] AuntFun Ellison: this is Maya and PolkaDot
[19:32] You: but it didn't have visuals, only audio
[19:32] PolkaDot Pechmann: Hello Aliea.
[19:32] AuntFun Ellison: I met them in an Immersive Education session
[19:32] Aliea Ember: Nice to meet you
[19:32] You: Hello Aliea
888
[19:33] AuntFun Ellison: Aliea is a friend of a friend
[19:33] AuntFun Ellison: and she did the development of this island
[19:33] You: actually, we are writing a paper together
[19:33] You: collaborating on our final project
[19:33] AuntFun Ellison: she is incredibly skilled
[19:33] PolkaDot Pechmann: Our class is in SL and alternative worlds.
[19:34] AuntFun Ellison: what is your final project?
[19:34] Aliea Ember: Thank you, AF, I appreciate that
[19:34] PolkaDot Pechmann: Virtual worlds.
[19:34] PolkaDot Pechmann: Our paper is on meetings.
[19:34] AuntFun Ellison: cool
[19:34] PolkaDot Pechmann: That is very general.
[19:34] Aliea Ember: What other worlds have you worked with?
[19:34] You: are there other worlds?
[19:34] Aliea Ember: virtual worlds
[19:34] You: I did not know about SL until I took this class
[19:35] Aliea Ember: Ah ok
[19:35] Aliea Ember: I've been in SL for 2 yrs now
[19:35] You: At first I wasn't interested because I thought it was like a game
[19:35] PolkaDot Pechmann: Chosen topic: Holding Meetings in Second Life This will include (but not limited to): What are the advantages? What are the disadvantages? How does one arrange the meeting? Get the word out? Can you make them private? And so on....
[19:35] Aliea Ember: before I was in Active Worlds
[19:35] AuntFun Ellison: there are many other worlds, but this one seems to be the easiest to get into with the best graphics
[19:35] AuntFun Ellison: cool
[19:36] Aliea Ember: yes, it has the best resources as well
[19:36] PolkaDot Pechmann: I have a friend who is an avid Palace fan and tried to tell me don't do SL, do the Palace, But the class is not taught in the Pakace, :)
[19:36] Aliea Ember: there are of course disadvantages, but then there is in nearly every form of communication
[19:36] You: I had trouble with the first two computers because they didn't have the minimum requirement for the graphics card
[19:36] AuntFun Ellison: that's a problem for many
[19:37] AuntFun Ellison: Multiverse is trying to lower that bar, but you can tell by looking at their graphics
[19:37] Aliea Ember: yes, that is a problem for a good many people
[19:37] You: navigating takes getting used to
[19:37] PolkaDot Pechmann: I just had to buy a new computer because of problems with my old one with other things, not just SL.
[19:37] You: how long have you had this island?
[19:38] PolkaDot Pechmann: For some reason, I just went kablooy again.
[19:38] AuntFun Ellison: it's been finished for just about a month
Eight men commence ministry for the Church
Story and photos by Ambria Hammel | Nov. 15, 2010 | The Catholic Sun
A baptism at St. Gabriel the Archangel Parish in Cave Creek last week marked a double cause for celebration for one man in particular.
The waters of baptism signaled the first step of a lifelong journey in faith for the 2-month-old boy and the first time the celebrant — the infant’s grandfather — administered the sacrament as a permanent deacon for the Church.
One day prior, Deacon Robert Torigian was among eight men, all married with children, whom Bishop Thomas J. Olmsted ordained to the diaconate Nov. 6 at Ss. Simon and Jude Cathedral. They join 239 permanent deacons serving the Phoenix Diocese from the altar, within parish ministries and in the greater community.
“I know that each of them has what it takes to be an effective, caring deacon and a powerful witness of Jesus, the Servant of all,” said Deacon Doug Bogart, associate director of education and formation for the diaconate.
He described them as smart and creative. The new deacons, ages 42-60, have a strong commitment to service, particularly to the bishop, their parishes and to the poor, Deacon Bogart added.
Bishop Olmsted told a crowded cathedral filled with extended family, friends, priests and fellow deacons that deacons represent the charity of the Church. Therefore, he said, they will see the new deacons as disciples seeking “not to be served, but to serve.”
Then he spoke directly to his eight newest “sons.”
“You receive sacred authority to teach in the name of the Church. Such teachings are badly needed,” the bishop said. He cautioned them to resist the temptation to omit any teaching that may not be popular.
“Hand it on faithfully in its organic wholeness,” the bishop said.
One by one all eight deacon candidates knelt in front of the bishop, placed their hands in his and promised their fidelity.
Then the entire church offered a litany of supplication while the candidates fully prostrated themselves down the cathedral’s center aisle. It marked their act of submission.
When they got up, the new deacons spread themselves along the foot of the altar where priests vested them for the first time. Jesuit Father Dave Klein vested his brother Deacon Tom Klein, who will be the only deacon serving St. Francis Xavier Parish.
Deacon Klein also cited his other brother, a St. Thomas the Apostle parishioner and longtime Vincentian, as influential in his discernment.
“It’s been a lifetime evolution for me. There was no lightning bolt moment,” Deacon Klein said in his final hour before ordination.
Deacon Klein, who also works as a trial lawyer, will head the parish’s busy marriage preparation program. He hopes to encourage parishioners of all ages to become more active in the Church.
Once vested, the deacons knelt a final time in front of Bishop Olmsted as he symbolically handed each of them the Book of the Gospels.
“Now you are not only hearers of the Gospels, but also its ministers,” the bishop said.
The deacons finished their ordination Mass from the altar and helped distribute the Eucharist.
Hope for the future
“We, today, witnessed the living faith being handed on from generation to generation so that the Church of Christ will never be without the sacraments of the three holy orders of the Church,” Bishop Eduardo A. Nevares said during a brief program at a post-ordination reception.
Providing for the future of the Church, especially by administering the sacrament of baptism, is what several new deacons looked forward to in their first weeks of ordained ministry. One had eight baptisms lined up during his first week.
“That is the joy and source of hope,” said Deacon David Runyan, a retired meteorologist who will serve St. Andrew the Apostle Parish in Chandler and El Cristo Rey Parish at the Grand Canyon in the summertime.
Deacon Torigian, who baptized his grandson, plans to remind older Catholics of their baptismal obligation to come to know and serve the Lord, he said.
The new deacon and longtime physician assistant should know a thing or two about service. He devoted so much time to pastoral ministry in his native Detroit that several deacons invited him to consider joining the diaconate. He finished formation in Phoenix.
Outside of parish work at St. Gabriel, Deacon Torigian will also help the diocesan Office of Natural Family Planning develop curriculum for Catholic high school students.
Deacon Jim Gall, who for a while didn’t know what a deacon was but always liked to serve others, also looks forward to living the deacon motto of servant leadership.
He gained a deeper prayer life during the formation process. It’s helped him see things with spiritual eyes instead of reacting based on temperament, he said.
“I could never go back to the way I was,” Deacon Gall said.
Most new deacons said they gained a deeper spirituality and strengthened their marriage and family relationships during formation.
“I just thank God that I finally said yes,” said Deacon Al Homiski, a parish administrator at St. Bernadette in Scottsdale. He admitted putting off repeated invitations to join the diaconate for years.
The five-year formation process in Phoenix involves two years of weekly Kino classes, monthly diaconate meetings with candidates and their wives, practicums including at St. Joseph’s Hospital and Medical Center, and twice daily prayer. The experience is enough to impact the entire family.
Deacon Ron Johnson saw a noticeable change in the spiritual lives of his three children as well during formation. The psychologist first felt called to the diaconate during a Cursillo weekend seven years ago and is looking forward to being the first Spanish-speaking deacon in the Flagstaff area.
He’ll also travel with Fr. Pat Mowrer throughout the north deanery supporting other parishes and missions.
Deacon Jason Robinson said he was always attracted to serving the Church. He applied to the priesthood after high school and entered further discernment.
He soon met his wife through a singles ministry and continued to search for his niche in the Church.
“I had this passion for the Church kind of from the inside, yet I was a working man,” the software developer said, “so I was always a bridge.”
He thought about entering the diaconate later in life. A personal invitation to the diaconate expedited his formation and ordination.
His ministry will include prison and Native American outreach plus parish work.
“Thank you for responding to God,” Deacon Jim Trant, director of the diaconate told the diocese’s newest deacons, “for doing and acting upon His will.”

The Kahala Hotel & Resort
5000 Kahala Avenue
Honolulu, Hawaii
In 1959 real estate developer Charlie Pietsch Jr obtained a long term land lease on the 6 1/2 acre hotel site from Bishop Estate. Being a member of Bishop's Trust Executive Committee helped! With Waialae lease in hand, Pietsch puts together a 50/50 deal with his acquaintance Conrad Hilton. Pietsch signed a contract with Hilton International to operate the proposed 10 story hotel.
Pietsch suggested the name The Kahala Hilton because Waialae was too hard to pronounce and spell. Architects were Killingsworth, Brady, and Smith of Long Beach. The groundbreaking of the 368-room Kahala was in 1962 and the resort opened in 1964 with a $26 rate. The construction of the hotel resulted in Waialae Country Club to redesign several of its golf course holes. The resort used the post-and-beam construction on a grand scale that became one of Killingsworth’s hallmarks. More than 100 coconut palms were planted. 18,000 yards of fine sand were barged from Molokai island to pad the beach front. The resort cost $12 million to build. Killingsworth and his firm also designed the Halekulani Hotel, the Mauna Lani Bay Hotel and the Kapalua Bay Hotel.
In 1968 Charles Pietsch sold his half of The Kahala to TWA, the owner of Hilton International, for $16.5 million.
1973 - TWA/Hilton International sells its shares in the hotel to mortgage holder Massachusetts Mutual life, but retains
management contract. Massachusetts Mutual Life sells its shares to MEPC, one of the largest property development
companies in the world at a price of over $20 million. In 1977 William Weinberg initiates a plan to buy the hotel for a price between $26 and $28 million. The contract takes two years to negotiate before closing the deal in May 1977. William Weinberg (WKH Corp.) owned the Kahala Hilton hotel from 1977 to 1993, this investment was most near and dear to his heart.
In 1993, WKH Corp. sold the 6.5 acre resort to an investment group then headed by isle developer Bill Mills after an arbitration panel raised the resort's annual lease rent from $96,000 a year to $5.6 million a year. Bishop Estate had proposed an annual rent of $13.5 million while WKH offered to pay $1.3 million a year. Japan-based Kahala Royal Corp. (Katsumi Iida) and local developer Bill Mills paid an estimated $50 million.
In 1996 the hotel was renamed Kahala Mandarin Oriental after a 40 percent investment by Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group. The Mandarin Oriental Group took over management, lasting until 2005
In 2005 Kahala Royal Corp., the Hawai'i firm owned by Katsumi Iida, paid $97 million to Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group for its 40 percent stake in the hotel on land leased from the Kamehameha Schools. Trinity Investments of Honolulu bought the hotel for $175 million in 2006 and rebranded it "The Kahala." Trinity is owned by California hotelier Chuck Sweeney and attorney Jon Miho of Honolulu.
In August 2014 - The Kahala Hotel & Resort was sold to Japanese-based Resorttrust Inc. for $300 million, which equates to $887,000 per room, the highest per-room price ever paid for an Oahu hotel property. Resorttrust will use the hotel as part of its time-share network. The new owner plans to retain Landmark Hotels Inc., the Trinity affiliate that took over management of the hotel in March 2006. All employees are expected to be retained by Resorttrust, which will assume the collective bargaining agreement between the hotel and UNITE HERE! Local 5.

Decide When to Update Your Content
To create the illusion of movement in an animation you need to make changes to your content several times per second. That requires you to know when to perform those changes. Ideally, IOS developer want to perform the changes whenever there is a change to be performed but not more often than that. Adding more changes than you need will only spend extra processing time on something that won’t have an effect.
The simplest way to perform the changes is to use a CADisplayLink. The display link sends a message whenever the screen is going to refresh, which allows you to perform changes to your content exactly once per frame. When the animation is finished you can either pause the display link or disable it.
Using a continuous gesture recognizer, like a pan, pinch, or rotation recognizer, is another way to identify when you should perform changes to your content. The gesture recognizer forces IOS developer to accept that you won’t be trying to perform those changes when the user hasn’t moved their finger, and when there aren’t any changes to perform. A more advanced way is to use the scrollViewDidScroll: delegate method of a UIScrollView. We cover how you can tap into gesture recognizers and the UIScrollView behavior later in this article.
Define the Progress of Your Animation
In addition to knowing when to update your content, you need to establish what about your content will actually change and how it will do so over time. The progress of the animation is usually stored as a floating point value in the [0,1] range, where 0 is the initial state and 1 the final state. To determine the progress of your animation you need to establish the following items.The beginning and end of your animation. IOS developer a good idea to normalize the progress of your animation to the [0,1] range. This makes it easier to interpolate properties and more obvious where the animation progress currently is.

This one surprised me; first off, HR-DEV is a strange bird in the world of developers. I had just enough left for a sixth roll and went with Silvermax (because it says it can do it on the bottle). I'm pleased with the results, excellent tone, contrast and sharpness. There's a bit of grain but nothing to write home about.
