Got a sad news from the Rhode Island Court Community:

 

Judge Frank Caprio is dead at 88 years old. I've remembered him on one of the episodes of A&E show Parking Wars in early 2010s (from my primary school era in final years).

 

My condolences sent to his family, friends, City of Providence, RI, etc.

Graham Greene, a Canadian actor best known for his Oscar-nominated turn in the 1990 film “Dances with Wolves,” died on Monday in Toronto after a battle with long illness. He was 73.

Greene made his debut in the 1979 Canadian drama series “The Great Detective” and in the 1983 film “Running Brave.” But his big Hollywood break came with “Dances with Wolves,” in which he co-starred as “Kicking Bird.” The role earned him an Academy Award nomination for best supporting actor in 1991. The film was nominated for 12 Oscars and won seven, including for best picture and best director for Kevin Costner.

RIP Jane Goodall (April 1932 - October 2025)

 

Dame Jane Morris Goodall was a British primatologist, ethologist, and anthropologist who's known for her 60 years of studying chimpanzees in Tanzania's Gombe Stream National Park. Her research, which began in 1960, made groundbreaking discoveries about chimpanzee behavior, including their use of tools and omnivorous diet. Goodall's work challenged the assumption that tool use was unique to humans, paving the way for further research into animal cognition.

John Lodge, bassist, co-lead singer, and songwriter of the Moody Blues, has died at the age of 82.

from Katsuhiro Harada:

 

Quote

 

Words I leave behind.

the flame of my life is finally about to go out and the message has been posted.
It means the time has come. I'm no longer of this world.
Entrusting the message to someone dear.
My life was a series of battles and I kept on winning.
I know I caused trouble for many along the way, but I followed my convictions and fought to the very end and I have no regrets.
One thing weighs on me.
I'm deeply sorry to all my fans that I was unable to bring you my new work.
I truly am.
And that's just how it goes.
