On October 2nd, 2018, the Los Angeles Fire Department (LAFD) recognized the off-duty actions of Engineer Danny Lynch who selflessly saved multiple homes in his neighborhood during the raging Thomas Fire in Ventura County. Also present for the recognition was Captain Dennis Cameron of the Torrance Fire Department, who was on a Thomas Fire Strike Team that Engineer Lynch teamed up with.
The incident took place Dec 3rd and 4th, 2017. Captain Cameron’s Engine company arrived in the city of Ventura around midnight to Engineer Lynch’s neighborhood that already had multiple homes burning and civilians evacuating. Fortunately Danny had his turnouts with him. He approached Captain Cameron on the street, identified himself as an off-duty LAFD firefighter, and asked if he could help. Several houses were burning on both sides of the street and resources were spread very thin, so Captain Cameron gave Mr. Lynch some quick direction. Danny then took off with a hoseline to a house that was just starting to light off and swiftly went to work. He came back a few minutes later saying flames were in the attic and wanted a pike pole, then took off again. A few minutes later he returned again asking for a chainsaw and ladder. This time Captain Cameron went with Engineer Lynch to check on his progress.
At this point he had already pulled ceiling and knocked down the bulk of the fire from inside the house, but recognized that the roof needed to be opened up to fully extinguish the fire and save the house. Both members went to the roof, Danny cut several holes and then brought the hoseline to the roof to complete extinguishment. Engineer Lynch spent almost an hour by himself making sure this house didn’t burn down. His actions continued...
At this point he pulled his hoseline down the street to assist Firefighters battling other burning homes, and continued to work with the Strike Team through the night until the water supply was lost and all companies had to retreat.
It is important to mention that the Thomas Fire was the largest wildfire the State of California had ever seen at that point, and approximately 240 homes were threatened in Danny's neighborhood alone. Fire resources were stretched to their max, therefore Danny was required to at times to act alone, however he made calculated operational decisions based upon safety and situational awareness, while wearing full personal protective equipment, and maintaining close communication with the Strike Team Captain.
Due to his courageous actions, Engineer Lynch was responsible for saving several homes, and is worthy of formal recognition.

Jay Heritage Center (JHC) Founder Catherine "Kitty" Aresty and New York Preservation Advocate, Barbaralee Diamonstein-Spielvogel were recipients of the 1st Annual "John Jay Medal for Service" awarded at JHC's 20th Anniversary Gala on Saturday, October 13, 2012. In keeping with the legacy of one of America's greatest Founding Fathers, the John Jay Medal recognizes individuals who demonstrate a selfless spirit of commitment and engagement with their community.
As an early member of the Jay Coalition, Catherine "Kitty" Aresty helped harness the energy of thousands of volunteers and citizens to save the Jay Property when it was threatened by commercial development in the early 1980s. She was one of 5 dynamic women who formed the vanguard for preservation of the site, finally securing a victory in 1992 but her total commitment to seeing the property restored for public use extends more than 30 years including 22 consecutive years on the JHC Board.
Similarly, Barbaralee Diamonstein-Spielvogel's career spans more than 40 years. She has been a pioneering champion of preservation and the arts, credited with bringing the first public art to Bryant Park and the first public performance to Central Park. The first Director of Cultural Affairs for New York City, she was the longest term Landmarks Commissioner in the city’s history, spanning four mayoral administrations from 1972 to 1987. Her expertise and advocacy of historic preservation has garnered her countless honors and prestigious appointments from nor fewer than 4 US Presidents. Dr. Diamonstein-Spielvogel is the current Vice Chair of the New York State Council on the Arts.
Congresswoman Nita Lowey and Westchester County Executive Rob Astorino served as Honorary Co-Chairs of the evening which drew over 170 people from Manhattan, Westchester and Greenwich to the National Historic Landmark site. While the event also marked an important 2 decade milestone for the organization, adding to the festive feeling was the recent announcement of a public private partnership between JHC, New York State Parks and Westchester County to manage and restore the entire 23 acre Jay estate as a historic park and educational resource.
See the announcement here:
www3.westchestergov.com/news/all-press-releases/4358-asto...
The site has been a member of Westchester County's African American Heritage Trail since 2004 and was added to the prestigious Hudson River Valley National Heritage Area following its nomination in 2008 by County Legislator Judy Myers.
JHC President Suzanne Clary commended the men, women and coalition of non-profits that first saved Jay's home but also emphasized the "new coalition" they are forming with other museums and preservation groups like the NY Preservation League, The Landmarks Conservancy, Audubon NY, the World Monuments Fund and more. Congresswoman Lowey recognized the power of bi-partisan support that continues to guide JHC's success. Ken Jenkins, Chairman of the Westchester County Board of Legislators presented a proclamation to both honorees and added his strong words of support for the Jay Heritage Center's mission to revitalize one of Westchester's premiere heritage destinations. Steve Otis, former Mayor of Rye brought accolades from Sen. Suzi Oppenhiemer and personally congratulated the two medal awardees on their vision and tenacity; he reminded the audience how dilapidated the Jay site was when first acquired and how miraculous its transformation had been under JHC's trusted stewardship. Both honorees gave moving remarks and thanks and underscored the continued need to stay "passionate" about preservation.
The theme of the night was Roaring 20s - guests dressed in everything from raccoon coats and spats to flapper dresses and boas made for an evening that was simply "the bees knees!"

A Lesson In Love
The fear in his eyes had shown when they met mine; the smile that played across his face had quickly faded at the sight of unfamiliar ones. I never knew his name, or the name of his brother who was with him at the time- but to this day I still remember their faces.
It was the summer of 2010 and I was spending my time with a volunteer organization on the island of Vitu Levu in Fiji. Our group had been talking to the local villagers when the little boy and his brother came running down the hill, playfully chasing each other and laughing hysterically. But at the sight of unfamiliar people, they froze. The little one, no older than 3 was bewildered. His face began to scrunch up like he had eaten something sour when an ear-piercing shriek broke the silence. Then the tears flew, one after another, down his cheeks and off his chin until they met their sudden death on the grassy floors at the base of his feet. It was at this moment that his older brother pulled him close into a warm embrace. This display of love has never ceased to leave my mind. Thankfully, I was able to capture the striking moment of love and compassion in contrast with overwhelming fear (pictured below). His brother, no more than 2 years his senior, had learned what it meant to love someone so immensely that in the face of danger, he could substitute courage for fear and strength for uncertainty, to comfort and give solace to his brother.
We all watched in awe as this act of love was demonstrated by the young boy. To see that someone of such a young age had learned life’s greatest lesson was an experience that I will always carry with me. Most of us go though life, still searching and still learning how to become a better person. Over the years we go through trials that push us to our limit, and sometimes even break us so that when we are put back together, we have the opportunity to grow. However, this boy had reached maturity beyond his years. We went to Fiji to teach about leadership, yet a boy barely even the age of 7 had taught us the greatest and most powerful lesson not only of leadership but of love and life. It was this experience that will always remain in my heart, acting as a constant reminder that sometimes the most valuable lessons can be learned from those we teach.

Jay Heritage Center (JHC) Founder Catherine "Kitty" Aresty and New York Preservation Advocate, Barbaralee Diamonstein-Spielvogel were recipients of the 1st Annual "John Jay Medal for Service" awarded at JHC's 20th Anniversary Gala on Saturday, October 13, 2012. In keeping with the legacy of one of America's greatest Founding Fathers, the John Jay Medal recognizes individuals who demonstrate a selfless spirit of commitment and engagement with their community.
As an early member of the Jay Coalition, Catherine "Kitty" Aresty helped harness the energy of thousands of volunteers and citizens to save the Jay Property when it was threatened by commercial development in the early 1980s. She was one of 5 dynamic women who formed the vanguard for preservation of the site, finally securing a victory in 1992 but her total commitment to seeing the propert restored for public use extends more than 30 years including 22 consecutive years on the JHC Board.
Similarly, Barbaralee Diamonstein-Spielvogel's career spans more than 40 years. She has been a pioneering champion of preservation and the arts, credited with bringing the first public art to Bryant Park and the first public performance to Central Park. The first Director of Cultural Affairs for New York City, she was the longest term Landmarks Commissioner in the city’s history, spanning four mayoral administrations from 1972 to 1987. Her expertise and advocacy of historic preservation has garnered her countless honors and prestigious appointments from nor fewer than 4 US Presidents. Dr. Diamonstein-Spielvogel is the current Vice Chair of the New York State Council on the Arts.
Congresswoman Nita Lowey and Westchester County Executive Rob Astorino served as Honorary Co-Chairs of the evening which drew over 170 people from Manhattan, Westchester and Greenwich to the National Historic Landmark site. While the event also marked an important 2 decade milestone for the organization, adding to the festive feeling was the recent announcement of a public private partnership between JHC, New York State Parks and Westchester County to manage and restore the entire 23 acre Jay estate as a historic park and educational resource.
See the announcement here:
www3.westchestergov.com/news/all-press-releases/4358-asto...
The site has been a member of Westchester County's African American Heritage Trail since 2004 and was added to the prestigious Hudson River Valley National Heritage Area following its nomination in 2008 by County Legislator Judy Myers.
JHC President Suzanne Clary commended the men, women and coalition of non-profits that first saved Jay's home but also emphasized the "new coalition" they are forming with other museums and preservation groups like the NY Preservation League, The Landmarks Conservancy, Audubon NY, the World Monuments Fund and more. Congresswoman Lowey recognized the power of bi-partisan support that continues to guide JHC's success. Ken Jenkins, Chairman of the Westchester County Board of Legislators presented a proclamation to both honorees and added his strong words of support for the Jay Heritage Center's mission to revitalize one of Westchester's premiere heritage destinations. Steve Otis, former Mayor of Rye brought accolades from Sen. Suzi Oppenhiemer and personally congratulated the two medal awardees on their vision and tenacity; he reminded the audience how dilapidated the Jay site was when first acquired and how miraculous its transformation had been under JHC's trusted stewardship. Both honorees gave moving remarks and thanks and underscored the continued need to stay "passionate" about preservation.
The theme of the night was Roaring 20s - guests dressed in everything from raccoon coats and spats to flapper dresses and boas made for an evening that was simply "the bees knees!"

On NY State's Path Through History (2013)
Accepting the (independent) existence of the world you want to attain God - it is not possible. What will happen ? God will come, but you will say that my wife is unwell, let her become well. Do you want to attain God or do you want a healthy wife ? Think
After seven years of loyal and selfless service, our man Randall is moving on to greener pastures. Or, he is moving on to New Orleans anyway. He is one of the kindest and most thoughtful guys I have ever known and it has been a pleasure to work with him. Last night was his final shift at the Red Star. The usual cast of characters showed up to wish him well. Shots were taken, stories were swapped, fun was had by all. But, it is a testament to his uncanny ability to befriend everyone that several of the cast members from Twilight showed up to wish him well. These folks are shooting the newest installment of the ever popular vampire saga in Baton Rouge and we are honored that they have taken to Red Star as one of their regular haunts (no pun intended). But, I think we were all touched that they took the time out of their busy lives to show up and and say goodbye to Randall. Rami Malek, Omar Metwally, Billy Tangradi and the rest of the folks that I didn’t get to talk to, let me say that you are class acts and are welcome back anytime. And to Randall, best of luck in all your future endeavors. I am sure that your native goodness and joyful approach to life will take you far.
Check out more at my blog, Lemons and Beans, for lots of photos, recipes, travel writing and other ramblings. I appreciate any feedback but, please do not post graphic awards or invitations in your comments.

Name: Michael Kokernak
Age: 33
Neighborhood: Capitol Hill!
Vegan Circa: 1996
Why I Find Him Interesting: Mike is totally lovable, selfless, and active. His whole life is directed towards caring for others and his home is packed with critters that he has adopted or is finding homes for. Also he cooks and bakes amazing vegan food and makes others feel welcome.
Why Vegan: "I was a pretty shy kid and being queer certainly didn't help things at the time. My closest friends/protectors were the dogs I grew up with, Gretchen (a spunky deaf dalmatian) and Shayna (an amazingly sweet retriever mix). I remember getting some PETA literature sent to our house (not sure how it got there) and reading a blurb about "would you eat your dog?" I immediately started making a connection and went vegetarian in high school. For college, I went to UMASS Amherst for animal sciences and had to attend all of these classes about animal agriculture. The instructors all argued that pigs, cows and chickens didn't feel pain the way we did. I remember this lab where the students had to castrate fully awake calves. The instructor sliced the calf's testicles while the poor thing had his head clenched in a gate and was bucking and screaming. So many of the students just stood there like zombies, not questioning, not disturbed. I walked out and have been vegan ever since. I would starve before ever contributing to something like that ever again. - Mike
Spends Time:
- Working as an Animal Care Officer at Seattle Animal Shelter which means he gets to work hands on with the animals, providing their daily care, helping to re-home abandoned animals, educating people about better animal care, including spaying/neutering, breed discrimination, chaining, feral cat protection etc.
- Baking and cooking and hosting gatherings where people leave happy, full, and impressed. Like Water for Vegan Chocolate!
- Playing guitar - he has a lot of 3/4 written songs and will someday be brave enough to finish them and play for people.
- Jogging with his dog Benny, a deaf pit bull (who also eats a vegan diet; he loves V Dog and anything that Mike eats)
- Hiking, especially along the Washington Coast because it is so peaceful and quiet, and it is so fun to watch the dogs romp in pure joy along the beach.
- Living with his partner of 14 years, (also named Mike and also vegan! Don't get them confused)
- Spending time with their 4 senior cats (Sunny, April, Sierra and Jasmine) and 2 guinea pigs (Sam and Emma), and sometimes fostering other animals until they find homes, like the adorable bunny in this photo. Jasmin is the pretty kitty in the photo.
- Volunteering with Food Not Bombs as a driver.
- Dreaming of opening an all vegan bakery/cafe/bar in the rural south somewhere. He is going to hide the fact that everything's vegan and just impress with really good, affordable, comfort food sans animal products. Sounds dreamy!
- Thinking about a future vegan queer outreach program. He figures that queer folks should be able to relate to the oppression that is animal abuse and how it's all interrelated to human oppression. At the very least, he'd like to meet more vegan queer people. (If you are interested in this topic, check out Our Hen House's new series, The Gay Animal.
Mike Suggests: Watching "Year of the Dog." (A Mike White Movie).
If you see Mike on the street: talk to him about some cool off-the-beaten-path trip you took where you unexpectedly found some cool vegan food (he wants to go there), and about True Blood.
Get to know Mike better by adopting one of the many homeless and abandoned pets currently at our local shelter.

My sister Amy. She is the epitome of selfless. She never thinks about herself. As you can see by the way she looks at her husband, Jason, she loves and adores him. She has four kids. She is such a wonderful Mother. Just spend a few hours with her kids and you can tell that she is great at what she does. I love her. She was my best friend growing up, my protector from the dark, my playmate and my big sissy. I accompanied her to the Doctor today because she had to have an ultrasound. I believe that she will be fine, but I still worry about her. She is the sweetest, most caring, loving person I have ever known. I am so proud to call her my sister.

LION MD. GANI MIAH BABUL, A SELFLESS SUCCESSFUL FIGURE
Lion Md Gani Miah is a well known and enlightened name to the media, media worker, education sector and the common people of Bangladesh. He has special contribution and recognition in the different aspects of society. Though a teacher he is recognized to all as a successful organizer, writer and columnist. He was engaged in writing from his student life and was active in politics being inspired by Bangabandhu to implement the cause of our liberation.

This card project was privately funded, developed and created by a group of like minded selfless individuals who are involved in animal welfare and have witnessed first hand the extreme overpopulation crisis here in the greater Phoenix area, surrounding cities and counties.
Pet overpopulation and crowded shelters are not unique to Arizona as we live in a Throw Away Society and unfortunately pets are discarded and forgotten with an Out of Sight Out of Mind Mentality .
Please give shelter pets the opportunity they were denied and so desperately deserve.

Selfless acts during trying times...National Nurses Week, annually celebrated May 6 to May 12, and fittingly wrapping up on the birthday of Florence Nightingale (1820-1910), the founder of modern nursing, is being recognized all week at Navy Medicine Readiness and Training Command (NMRTC) Bremerton. Immediately following the week is the Navy Nurse Corps birthday on May 13, recognizing 112 years of delivering patient-centered care from bed side to battle field.
Then, as now, caring for the sick and injured, establishing sanitary methods, supporting operational readiness during the Crimean War (1853-56) are legacies established as nursing standards by Nightingale and notable commitment by the Nurse Corps against the pandemic outbreak.
Priscilla Marza and the other approx. 60 Nurse Corps and 80 civilian nurses at NMRTC Bremerton have been tasked with proactively handling multiple assignment to screen, triage, and test for COVID-19, as well as continue daily needed support for acute-care patients (U.S. Navy Graphic by Mass Communication Specialist 1st Class Ryan Riley/Released)

Jay Heritage Center (JHC) Founder Catherine "Kitty" Aresty and New York Preservation Advocate, Barbaralee Diamonstein-Spielvogel were recipients of the 1st Annual "John Jay Medal for Service" awarded at JHC's 20th Anniversary Gala on Saturday, October 13, 2012. In keeping with the legacy of one of America's greatest Founding Fathers, the John Jay Medal recognizes individuals who demonstrate a selfless spirit of commitment and engagement with their community.
As an early member of the Jay Coalition, Catherine "Kitty" Aresty helped harness the energy of thousands of volunteers and citizens to save the Jay Property when it was threatened by commercial development in the early 1980s. She was one of 5 dynamic women who formed the vanguard for preservation of the site, finally securing a victory in 1992 but her total commitment to seeing the propert restored for public use extends more than 30 years including 22 consecutive years on the JHC Board.
Similarly, Barbaralee Diamonstein-Spielvogel's career spans more than 40 years. She has been a pioneering champion of preservation and the arts, credited with bringing the first public art to Bryant Park and the first public performance to Central Park. The first Director of Cultural Affairs for New York City, she was the longest term Landmarks Commissioner in the city’s history, spanning four mayoral administrations from 1972 to 1987. Her expertise and advocacy of historic preservation has garnered her countless honors and prestigious appointments from nor fewer than 4 US Presidents. Dr. Diamonstein-Spielvogel is the current Vice Chair of the New York State Council on the Arts.
Congresswoman Nita Lowey and Westchester County Executive Rob Astorino served as Honorary Co-Chairs of the evening which drew over 170 people from Manhattan, Westchester and Greenwich to the National Historic Landmark site. While the event also marked an important 2 decade milestone for the organization, adding to the festive feeling was the recent announcement of a public private partnership between JHC, New York State Parks and Westchester County to manage and restore the entire 23 acre Jay estate as a historic park and educational resource. The site has been a member of Westchester County's African American Heritage Trail since 2004 and was added to the prestigious Hudson River Valley National Heritage Area following its nomination in 2008 by County Legislator Judy Myers.
JHC President Suzanne Clary commended the men, women and coalition of non-profits that first saved Jay's home but also emphasized the "new coalition" they are forming with other museums and preservation groups like the NY Preservation League, The Landmarks Conservancy, Audubon NY, the World Monuments Fund and more. Congresswoman Lowey recognized the power of bi-partisan support that continues to guide JHC's success. Ken Jenkins, Chairman of the Westchester County Board of Legislators presented a proclamation to both honorees and added his strong words of support for the Jay Heritage Center's mission to revitalize one of Westchester's premiere heritage destinations. Steve Otis, former Mayor of Rye brought accolades from Sen. Suzi Oppenhiemer and personally congratulated the two medal awardees on their vision and tenacity; he reminded the audience how dilapidated the Jay site was when first acquired and how miraculous its transformation had been under JHC's trusted stewardship. Both honorees gave moving remarks and thanks and underscored the continued need to stay "passionate" about preservation.
The theme of the night was Roaring 20s - guests dressed in everything from raccoon coats and spats to flapper dresses and boas made for an evening that was simply "the bees knees!"

“Do your work and perform your duties with all your heart. Try to work selflessly with love. Pour yourself into whatever you do. Then you will feel and experience beauty in every field of work. Love and beauty are within you. Try to express them through your actions and you will definitely touch the very source of bliss.”--Amma
A collage I made at Flickr friend's Elwetritsche's birthday party yesterday. The theme for her party was gratitude. There was something potent for me about the water being powerfully drawn back into the ocean (lower right hand corner) that spoke to me about career choice, about the call to reunite with the One. The background sky, chalice, dragonfly wings, stars-in-water, quote and dancer from clippings of magazines/calendars/catalogs. The photo of my hands holding the salt in the dish (made by Flickr friend laughingoysterbabies and photographed by her). When i described what my collage was about, Linda, at the party handed me a quote that she had seen in the pile of clippings. She knew the exact words of the Rumi quote I was trying to recall.
Underneath the dancer were the words "Drunk in the WIne of Eternity" (from a magazine clipping); but I covered up with images, for me, the intoxicating bliss of being centered in the Beloved.

This photograph is a finalist in the National Photographic Portrait Prize 2010 which is on display at the National Portrait Gallery in Canberra from 25 February - 26 April 2011.
Artist statement:
The men and women of our Australian Army sacrifice so much to protect and defend not only our country but also countries that cannot help themselves. I have taken this photo of Corporal Kathryn Jolley to show that Soldiers are real people. They have families, friends and lives outside of the Army. All the politics and conflict in the world aside, Kat is a regular person. She is a beautiful mum, an amazing wife, a caring sister, and a loving daughter. She chose a career where she gets the chance, no matter how small, to make a difference in the world.
