It used to be a school, known as Oriental School, which has nothing to do with people from the Eastern part of the world. Orient refers to the East. Which in this case, east of the Russian River in Geyserville.

Taylor Saleem Jewelry and I spent the weekend collaborating. Part of an effort we feel very strongly about. We live in a world where you can either let your differences divide you or you can choose to open yourself up to new ideas. To dig deeper, despite the discomfort, despite the vulnerability. When you open your eyes to a new perspective, you can see where growth is possible and often the most beautiful.

History of Yaletown
Once the city's warehouse district, Yaletown is today a revitalized part of the city and a "trendy" place to live, work, and do business. The area north of Pacific Boulevard, between Nelson and Drake Streets, is home to a mix of art galleries, retail stores, restaurants, office and residential developments.
Like many areas of Vancouver, Yaletown's early days were shaped by the arrival of the Canadian Pacific Railway in 1887. Yaletown acquired its name when the railway moved its construction equipment and repair shops from Yale in the Fraser Canyon to the railway's western terminus of Vancouver.
The next 20 years saw many sawmills and shingle mills locate on the north side of False Creek. By the turn of the century, business was booming throughout B.C. and Vancouver had become the wholesaling centre for western Canada.
In 1900, the City laid out streets and planned a new eight-block warehouse district near the original Yaletown. This new Yaletown (the one most commonly recognized today) was bounded by Nelson, Homer, Drake and Pacific streets, and was a convenient and cheap point for the processing, repackaging and warehousing of goods.
In the late 1920s, Vancouver created its first city plan and Yaletown was zoned for commercial and light industrial use. Although the city expected more warehouses to be built, the advent of truck trailer transport prompted many industries to move closer to major highways. By the 1950s, so many homeowners had sold to factories and shops that the Central School at Dunsmuir and Cambie was forced to close.
The area was home to little more than parking space until the late 1970s and 1980s when young urban professionals discovered that Yaletown's old warehouses were convenient, inexpensive and attractive. Today, former industrial buildings, warehouses and working-class houses have been transformed into offices, restaurants and trendy nightspots. Loft-style residences also proliferate.
The heritage significance of the old Yaletown truck loading docks and their characteristic overhanging canopies has been recognized by City Council as a unique architectural feature identifying the area. Pedestrian traffic, outside seating and other active uses are recommended for these areas.

The Lodhie Foundation initiative brings a “First Ray of Light” to the rural and poor communities and backward areas of Pakistan. Since 2003, this philanthropic initiative has continued to achieve his goal to bring the poorest people of Pakistan opportunities for socio-economic development. The program has been building momentum and successful results since its beginning. The key element is the distribution and maintenance of solar LED lighting systems through the guidance and management of Pervaiz Lodhie Founder Trustee of Lodhie Foundation located in Karachi, Pakistan
Ever since introducing a noble cause of distribution of SOLAR LANTERN ( ROSHNI ) to the needy and poor villagers and families of rural areas in Pakistan under the Donation of Ms Samiya Khan, a team Lodhie Foundation was assigned to visit the Kachi Abadi Liyari Express Way Karachi to observe and witness the distribution of Solar Lantern ROSHNI to the most needy people of Kachi Abadi Liyari Express Way ,near 13-D Gulshan e Iqbal , Karachi,
As a gesture of goodwill Ms Samiya Khan Donor of Lodhie Foundation offered a gift of 100 solar powered LED lights to the people of Kachi abadi Liyari Express Way, Karachi
Benefits
•Freedom from Darkness — The sunlight fades as early as 6 p.m, leaving the villagers in complete darkness. With solar lantern lighting, they have about an additional five hours of light to add to each day.
•Freedom from Illiteracy — More hours of light means more hours for children to study and get a better education, which is crucial to improving their social-economic future.
•Freedom from Poverty — With solar LED lanterns, the villagers no longer have to pay for expensive kerosene lanterns. Also, with more hours of light, the men and women have additional hours to work, which means more income for each household.
•Freedom from Hunger — More income means more money to better feed each member of the family; a daily concern for villagers.
•Freedom from Disease — Kerosene lanterns give off toxic and dangerous fumes; solar LED lanterns do not. LED lanterns also provide extra visibility, which helps against nighttime hazards.
I was stationed twice in Hawaii in the past; I did almost three years each time. The truth is that I always felt like an isolato on the island. In my defense I can only state that I never got to experience Hawaii more than a few months at the time; I was either in the field getting ready for war, or fighting the war, or returning from the war.
This time I decided to change that. I don’t want just to be another hāʻole visiting the island. I want to be as local as I can get; I want to be a part of the community. I figured that the best way to become a part of the community is by doing community service.
It just happened that Mālama Loko Ea (www.lokoea.org/Loko_Ea/E_Hoala_E_Hoomau.html) fishpond restoration project needed some volunteers. They meet every third Saturday of the month. What is a better way to spend a frigid February morning then to wade around an ancient Hawaiian fishpond? Just kidding, it doesn’t really get cold here. But some of the snowy Facebook photos of my friends on the mainland did give me the chills.
This was an awesome experience. The day started with a prayer in Hawaiian. That was the first time I actually heard Hawaiian language spoken by a real person, and I was mesmerized by it. Then the workload was divided among all the volunteers. I volunteered for filling out sandbags because I wanted my two little keiki to play in the sand. Twenty two years ago my recruiter promised me that the Army will teach me valuable skills that I could use in the civilian life; as it turns out he was not lying. I don’t think that there was a single volunteer present who had as much of sandbag filling experience as yours truly.
After all sandbags were filled, I spent the rest of the day removing the invasive plants that started to take over the pond. The day ended with the score: Volunteers 1; Invasive Plants: 0.
They fed us a delicious lunch at the end of the work day. We all held hands and prayed in Hawaiian before the food was served. I mean others prayed and I just listened, because my Hawaiian is still too limited. If you ever find yourself in Hawaii on the third Saturday of the month you should also volunteer at the Mālama Loko Ea fishpond.
Word of the Day
isolato \ahy-suh-LEY-toh\, noun:
a person who is spiritually isolated from or out of sympathy with his or her times or society.
Also, in the years since the events you are investigating, my life has been that of an isolato, a shepherd on a mountaintop, situated as far from so-called civilization as possible, and it has made me unnaturally brusque and awkward.
-- Russell Banks, Cloudsplitter, 1998
There is, of course, Paul's unremitting aloneness: he is in every sense an isolato, and if this state is elicited by his impertinence and his refusal to conform, it is brought about as well by the inability of all those around him to perceive either his uniqueness or his pain.
-- Philip Stevick, The American Short Story, 1984
The most predictable Justices now on the Court, Antonin Scalia and Thomas, seem brooding isolatoes, openly contemptuous of the doctrinal laxness of their brethren.
-- Louis Menand, "Decisions, Decisions," The New Yorker, July 11, 2005
Isolato was popularized by Herman Melville's novel Moby Dick. The word comes through Italian from the Latin word insulātus meaning "made into an island."
We're shifting all of our mismatched promo materials for our various ministries to postcards that are a little more broad and point guests and members to our website. Aimed at ages 18+. I wasn't given much direction, so I just sort of ran with it.
I have not posted a 365 picture in I don't even know how long. I take them every day, I do, but getting on here and actually posting them? Eh, not so much. I've been super duper busy lately. More than usual. But really, I don't have much of an excuse. So I'm jumping back in. I plan on posting previous days, but when I'll get to doing....who knows.
Volunteers Remove Defunct Fencing
A group of 16 volunteers removed approximately one mile of fencing on the Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest’s Spring Mountains National Recreation Area (May 2016). The defunct fencing was left behind from an old grazing allotment that has not been functional for decades. The group removed over 360,000 feet (1,200 pounds) of barbed wire and fence posts. Wildlife such as elk and mule deer, and wild horses were getting caught and injured in the fence. The work helped to make the area safer for both visitors and wildlife. This project was coordinated by Friends of Nevada Wilderness, U.S. Forest Service, and Great Basin Institute.

While in Laos, I spent a few days traveling with workers from the NGO, Pencils of Promise. We went to a village in Northern Laos for a community day. These events, actually held at night so that rice farming families can attend, are centered around a theme. In this case, it was nutrition. The staff huddled around lanterns in the barely electrified village and, along with a smiling group of participants, shared about healthy eating.
