House comes down on Children's Play Museum property in Wilton
By Ann Bryant, Staff Writer
WILTON — Volunteers for the Western Maine Play Museum tore down the oldest of the two houses on the museum property at 561 Main St. on Friday morning.
A controlled burn begins at 6 a.m. Saturday, fire Chief Sonny Dunham said at the scene.
After the property was donated as a home for the children's museum earlier this year, work began to renovate and make the main house into a children's play museum with plans to open in 2015.
Developers intend to use the cleared space for parking.
The house next to Dr. Albert York's home was purchased by the York family, Dunham said. It is approximately 125 years old and is part of the property donated to the children's museum by the heirs of the York sisters, Mary and Ruth, who had lived there throughout their lives. They were the daughters of Albert York.
The main York house was built in the early 1900s and this house is a little older, said Scott Taylor, selectman and owner of Taylor Made Homes. Taylor volunteered his equipment and time along with his crew to demolish the building.
Volunteers Dunham and Asst. Chief Kyle Ellis brought a firetruck to spray down the rubble and help control the dust, Dunham said.
The materials were separated into piles for Saturday's burn. The roof cannot be burned, he said.
"The house and town of Wilton meant a lot to Dr. York and his family," Ken Sawyer of Wilton, the caretaker of the York estate, previously said. "Their relatives feel that having the house be put to beneficial use is a great way to honor their memory."
Dr. York delivered and cared for many children from Wilton and surrounding towns, he said.
The building housed his family and his practice of general medicine and surgery, Sawyer added.
"The relatives feel that Dr. York, his wife and children would have taken great pleasure in seeing their home come alive again as a children's museum and as a step forward in the revival of downtown Wilton," he said.

Unsecured business loans are some of the most popular loan products available today. However, because it is not secured with some sort of tangible property that the lender can resell if you default, the risk that the lender assumes in providing these loans is high.
A secured business loan is one in which you are required to put up some form of collateral on the money you borrow, such as a stake in your company, your equipment, or even your building. This way, if you default on the loan, the lender can repossess your collateral and sell it in order to cover the amount of the loan. This makes the interest rates on secured loans lower, and it also means that people with less-than- perfect credit have a decent chance of obtaining them.
On the other hand, there is no collateral involved in an unsecured loan. If you default on your payments, the lender has no other alternative than to take legal action against you and attempt to recoup its money in court. This means that the lender assumes a much greater risk with an unsecured loan, and the guidelines required for obtaining them are much more difficult to meet. You will likely need excellent credit and a well-established business in order to qualify.
There are several things you will need to do in order to qualify for an unsecured business loan.
You will need good to excellent credit. There is a great deal of risk involved to the lender, so it is absolutely necessary to prove your creditworthiness.
You need to come up with a solid business plan. If you can show the lender how the loan will help you generate more revenue, you stand a much better chance at getting approved.
You might need to agree to a high interest rate. Because lenders have no property to sell if you default, they will often charge a higher interest rate to those who choose unsecured business loans.
If you think you qualify for an unsecured loan, your best course of action is to shop around at several different banks and lenders. Believe it or not, you might get a better offer from a big-name bank across town than from the bank you've done business with for the last decade. Make sure that you gather all of your paperwork (including your credit report) and bring it with you when you meet with the loan officer.
Although unsecured business loans are some of the most popular products out there, they do come with some disadvantages. Aside from the high interest rates, these products are not good ways to get your hands on some fast cash for emergencies. In fact, much like a mortgage, an unsecured business loan must often go through an extensive underwriting process that can take an average of 30 days to complete.
Unsecured business loans are excellent options for business owners with good credit who need access to a lump sum of money. While they do take time to process and they often come with higher interest rates, all you need is a good credit report and a solid business plan to qualify.

Surprise! Eight U.S. senators have come up with a bipartisan plan for immigration reform, and it's pretty much the same "comprehensive proposal" that's been around for years, the same one President Obama keeps proposing. Except for a hidden snag.
As Rachel Maddow pointed out in her MSNBC program last night, the senators included a provision that the reform plan should have approval from border governors to go forward, and at least one border governor – Arizona's Jan Brewer – is unlikely to give it her blessing.
Furthermore, the Senate plan doesn't have much of a chance of passing the House of Representatives.
That makes the bipartisan plan touted by the eight senators a shameless theatrical display designed to win some Latino votes.
I was amazed to see John McCain's smiling face in the bipartisan line-up (photos above). Wasn't he the same John McCain who swore up and down during those primary debates in 2008 that he would never, ever let undocumented immigrants get a path to American citizenship? But I guess not. I suppose he is again the John McCain who proposed comprehensive immigration reform before he was against it.
Then there's Lindsey Graham (how I wish he would change his last name!).
Lindsey Graham is a pathological deal-killer. He lives to bargain endlessly and then pull out at the last minute. Lindsey Graham is the master of refusing to support things he actually supports because a Democrat hurt his feelings. He withdrew his support for immigration reform in 2010 because the Senate planned to also consider climate legislation, another policy he claimed to support. He reneged on the Dream Act. He promised that he was working on immigration reform with Chuck Schumer two years ago and nothing happened.
The problem is, Graham is actually necessary for the bill to pass the Senate, and whenever his vote is crucial, he responds by withholding it….
If history is any guide, Graham will continue carefully negotiating and signaling his support for the proposal until he is forced to withdraw his support at the last minute because of some entirely unrelated bit of Senate business.
And he predicts the "grassroots" right-wing press will howl bloody murder if Republicans in Congress do anything that makes them look soft on illegal immigrants.
And then it will be back to square one.
In this Congress, I don't expect any legislation of value to get enacted.
My guess is that reform – including immigration reform – will have to wait until America wakes up and kicks the Tea Party crazies and their evil buddies out of Congress. Pray for this to happen in 2014.

Become a Mingle Ambassador
Career Advice: Working as a Makeup Artist in the Fashion Industry
In Dallas, Hair & Makeupby Melissa Shea December 11, 2017
Recently Fashion Mingle welcomed celebrity makeup artist Bridgett LaDawn Washington as their first Mingle Mentor. Washington is the developer of her own cosmetics line, Glamour Rx, which is an eco-friendly makeup line formulated to look beautiful on all skin tones. A industry success story from Dallas, TX, Washington has been working as a makeup artist for over 20 years and is known as an educator, writer, and mentor to women who are launching careers in the beauty industry.
A self-taught makeup artist, Bridgett LaDawn began working as a makeup artist at a department store retail counter. Bridgett believes that her years of experience with women of all demographics prepared her to be versatile and proficient in all styles of makeup artistry.
Bridgette highly recommends working at a retail makeup counter before launching a career as a freelance makeup artist. "Starting there gave me insight into the corporate infrastructure of how the business behind beauty is ran" says Bridgette. Working as a makeup artist on every skin type, tone, and texture allowed her to practice her craft and was an invaluable experience that paved the way for her to become celebrity makeup artist in less than a decade.
Bridgett's first big break was when she was hired to provide glam services for Team USA's media tour before leaving for the 2012 Olympics in London. Washington had already trained a team of makeup artists to work on corporate projects and was recommended for the opportunity by a company that provided services to ABC.
"I trained my girls. We were ready. We trained like the Olympians for that opportunity!" says Bridgett. She prepped her team to create looks that were appropriate for athletes. "We didn't want to over-glam them" she says. She created a mood board for her team that gave them an idea of what to target for the athlete's look.
In 2010 Bridgett developed her own line of cosmetics. The brand, Glamour Rx was inspired by the lack of options women of color have in popular makeup brands. "There weren't a lot of options for women of color. The color selections for us in a lot of ways were off" says Bridgett. Lower quality brands were available and being marketed to women of color but Bridgett saw an opportunity to create something better.
To begin the process of creating her own makeup brand, Bridgett first hired a chemist and closely followed the development process to make sure that the formula worked across all skin tones. Turns out, it was complicated. "In hindsight I wish that I had hired a consultant. I spent a lot of money and I wasted a lot of money on trying and testing out products and making bad business decisions" says Bridgett. While Bridgett faced the normal setbacks of any new startup, after two years of development, she finally launch Glamour RX which is now a complete line of vegan, gluten-free, and cruelty-free cosmetics for face and lips.
The first customers for Glamour RX were the customers she had working as a makeup artist. "I had a following from pioneering the market in a lot of ways for women of color and that following was supportive. They ordered the products and they shared it with their friends and it just grew from there".
New products are launching this season, which Bridgett says "are all about the glow" and can be purchased online at www.glamourrx.com. "I've got two new products, highlighters that are heavenly. I love them!". With special attention to the perfect shade for every skin tone, she has created a highlighter to bring out a radiant, natural glow.
I asked Bridgett what every girl should have on before they leave the house: "Well it depends on what feature they want to bring out. I think lips, automatically polish you, but mascara and brows are important too. It's really about knowing where your area of weakness is and knowing where your problem areas are and targeting that first" she says.
How to Start a Career as a Celebrity Makeup Artist
Bridgett LaDawn Washington is a brand in and of itself and has landed a long list of celebrity clients such as actresses Angela Bassett and Hayden Panettiere. Here are her tips to improve your chances of working as a makeup artist for celebrity clients.
Be the consummate professional.
Keep a positive attitude.
Find a mentor in the business.
Stay on top of trends.
Invest in your kit.
Work with corporate accounts.
Having spiritual guidance.
Bridgett explains that working as a makeup artist is very intimate, "we have to be very mindful of what energy we are putting on our clients. I always approach my clients with a very positive attitude. No matter what is going on behind the scenes, I always clear that from my head before going into their space".
Bridgett also loves to be a mentor to new makeup artists and offers a 12 week course in Dallas, TX called B.LaDawn Pro Makeup Artistry Classes. The course covers all aspects of professional makeup artistry, including the business behind it. She certifies the makeup artists at the end of the course and helps build their portfolios by taking the student out to work with her on corporate accounts.
Bridgett's success in large part can be attributed to how diversified she has grown her client base throughout her career. From walking into salons cold and selling herself as makeup artist by using her face as her calling card to calling through the Yellow Pages. "I would call up and say, I know you don't know me, but if you'll allow me to make you up, the first time will be complimentary, after that we'll talk". Her bold, creative approached worked and she never turned back.

NASA's Cassini spacecraft discovers Complex Organics coming from Saturn's moon Enceladus

NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory
Pasadena, CA – Data from NASA's Cassini spacecraft reveal complex organic molecules originating from Saturn's icy moon Enceladus, strengthening the idea that this ocean world hosts conditions suitable for life. Research results show much larger, heavier molecules than ever before.
Powerful hydrothermal vents mix up material from the moon's water-filled, porous core with water from the moon's massive subsurface ocean – and it is released into space, in the form of water vapor and ice grains. A team led by Frank Postberg and Nozair Khawaja of the University of Heidelberg, Germany, continues to examine the makeup of the ejected ice and has recently identified fragments of large, complex organic molecules.

Previously, Cassini had detected small, relatively common organic molecules at Enceladus that were much smaller. Complex molecules comprising hundreds of atoms are rare beyond Earth.
The presence of the large complex molecules, along with liquid water and hydrothermal activity, bolsters the hypothesis that the ocean of Enceladus may be a habitable environment for life.
The results are published today in Nature.
Such large molecules can be created by complex chemical processes, including those related to life, or they can come from primordial material in some meteorites.
At Enceladus, it's most likely they come from hydrothermal activity driving complex chemistry in the core of the moon, Postberg said.

"In my opinion, the fragments we found are of hydrothermal origin; in the high pressures and warm temperatures we expect there, it is possible that complex organic molecules can arise," Postberg said.
The organic material is injected into the ocean by hydrothermal vents on the floor of Enceladus' ocean – something akin to the hydrothermal sites found at the bottom of the oceans on Earth, which are one of the possible environments that scientists investigate for the emergence of life on our own planet.
On Enceladus, bubbles of gas, rising through miles of ocean, could bring up organic material from depths, where they could form a thin film floating on the ocean surface and in cracks of vents, in the interior of the moon, beneath its icy shell.
After rising near the top of the ocean, the bubbles may burst or otherwise disperse the organics, where they were detected by Cassini.
"Continuing studies of Cassini data will help us unravel the mysteries of this intriguing ocean world," said Cassini Project Scientist Linda Spilker of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, California.
The Cassini-Huygens mission is a cooperative project of NASA, ESA (European Space Agency) and the Italian Space Agency. NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, a division of Caltech in Pasadena, manages the mission for NASA's Science Mission Directorate, Washington.
The Cassini spacecraft deliberately plunged into Saturn on September 15th, 2017. JPL designed, developed and assembled the Cassini orbiter. The radar instrument was built by JPL and the Italian Space Agency, working with team members from the U.S. and several European countries.

common ground : Fashion Time Warp...or, I really wasn't crazy!
Fashion Time Warp...or, I really wasn't crazy!
I've had some good laughs reading through the comments for my last post. I knew that the 70's fashion might be a little vague for some of us, and that you younger gals might not be familiar with what was popular back in 1972. Often times fashion comes full circle...the early 70's, not so much.
So I thought I'd give a little fashion show from the time machine, just so some of the younger girls wouldn't think I had totally lost my marbles, or was some kind of "hillbilly gone wild"!
"Gunne Sax" and "Hippie Dress"
were used to describe the height of fashion!
Now just add the apron!
OK, now I feel better!
I remember these!!! I still love clothes from the 70's! Great post.
I really did love that post. Guess 'cause I could relate! The patterns and plaid dress are a hoot. Of course we all had to "HAVE" the Prairie Dress. Have wonderful New Year!
Thanks for my anniversary wishes. Glad you stopped by!
I knew exactly where you were coming from and STILL have some of those clothes. The fashion comes full circle ya' know? Hugs!
I think 70's clothes were so much fun. Everything from tight jeans to flowing shirts. We wore overalls and hippie dresses. Every outfit had a bit of flower power!! It was a great era!! Thanks Debra!!
Law, but you are really putting me in the "way back machine" seat! Gunne Sax was The dress to have. I was still buying Jessica McClintock for my daughter for parties in the late 80's! Is it my imagination or did the fabric back then wear like iron? Clothes just didn't seem to fade or wear out like they do now. I couldn't wear the leg o' mutton sleeves...I had shoulders like a football player...even when I was a size 3! Fun, fun, triple fun!
I loved those plaid bridesmaids dresses, I looked especially snappy in my "junior" bridesmaid dress. You know something really crazy? The price on that pattern is $1.25 What! I paid $14.95 for that apron pattern for Erin & Aly. Crazy!
Afterall...I am "everything vintage" right?
hhmmmmm...maybe it's time for a name change???
Just took a few minutes to get caught up with your posts ... Kinda crazy with holidays and a bout of "somethin" ... Your Gunne Sax plaid had me smiling ... my wedding dress was a Jessica McClintock and same style .... red velvet "ribbons" hung down from the flowers. Pastor was sick with heart attack so we had to move our wedding to November ... and didn't do quite the Christmas theme we had planned! Thanks for taking me on a walk down memory lane ... and congratulations on your Anniversary!
Many Hugs and Happy New Year!
Wow... those patterns bring back memories!! My mom sewed all our church clothes in the 60's and 70's. I had two older sisters and us girls never wore a "store bought" dress to church. The first store bought dress I remember wearing to church was probably when I was about 12 or 13. Honestly, I didn't like the home-made stuff. I just wanted to be like my friends and go to a department store and pick out something beautiful (and not double knit)... :O) Thanks for the flashback!
Happy New Year & Blessings!
My wedding dress was white dotted swiss with white dots and lots of cotton lace, no train, very simple and I just loved it. My Maid of Honor made it for me, oh so custom, doncha know! The attendents had a similar style in a small floral with pink, lavender and yellow flowers. Those make me cringe to think about!

Q: nouveau preventing shutdown after suspend-resume. What can I do? My ASUS X556U laptop has two video cards: Intel's HD Graphics 520 and NVIDIA GeForce 940MX.
There is a nouveau bug, when nouveau preventing shutdown after suspend-resume. I found another report regarding this bug. On shutdown I am getting error messages like this one:
"nouveau 0000:01:00.0: Xorg[1039]: failed to idle channel 3[Xorg[1039]"

So, I have to turn off without shutdown that is unsafe. (The proprietary NVIDIA driver is even worse. I cannot resume after suspend).
Could someone advise any workaround?

Iron Man - Trailer [HD] (Trailer)

Imaginative illustration of an epic story. It combines the modern background society, e.g. terrorism, with the unconventional high-tech fantasy. Our leading actor Robert Downey Jr. deeply embodies the soul of the Iron Man in himself. We common people never lived this way :P
Gimly
**A long form review originally posted in 2010:** Marking the beginning of the latest Marvel franchise, _The Avengers_, is Jon Favreau's _Iron Man_. I'm quite fond of Super Hero movies, I don't love them to the same extent that I do the slasher or psychological thriller genres, but they do hold a small place in my heart all to themselves. I'm pretty pumped for this whole "Avengers" thing to come to fruition, 'cause honestly it's all been great so far, starting with Iron Man, whom Robert Downey Jr. (_Natural Born Killers, Gothika, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, A Scanner Darkly, Zodiac, Sherlock Holmes, Due Date_) portrays, and incredibly so. It's important to set yourself a starting point. More specifically, what I mean is, a reason. Batman's parents were murdered, and his home was destroyedby crime; The Punisher's whole family was murdered in front of him and he big-time snapped; characters like the X-Men and the Fantastic 4 are defending themselves and end up having a penchant for world-saving. Those are all fine, and so long as you have one, I'm happy. But I really kind of like Tony Stark's reason for becoming Iron Man... He's a dick. That's why. He's a dick that supplies the world with the most lethal weapons in existence, and they take lives left, right and centre. Then, he's put through the world where they get used, and finally is told by the person who helped him escape that world, not to waste his life. He believes he is still alive for a reason, he decides that reason is to become a dick that is intent on privatising world peace. Which I think makes perfect sense. That may have come across as sarcasm, but I was deadly serious. Tony Stark becomes Iron man, and that's why. It works fantastically. We then get to see all the incarnations of his suit, how difficult it was to make, what it runs on, the technology, everything. And I'm a huge fan of back story, which Iron Man delivers. It's sort of the antithesis of DC's _Batman Begins_. Though they're both young adults that come from money with no family, a British butler (although Iron man's butler Jarvis was transformed into AI for the film [he was an actual person in the comics]), they have a board of directors take care of their family's billionaire business until they're ready to eventually take the reins, they both become "____ Man" and go about saving the innocent, not through superpowers but technology. I'm sure I could go on. But they're also incredibly different. Where Batman is a total bad ass, the gothic unknown defender of the night that uses fear as a weapon to protect his home town, and yet refuses to kill; Iron Man is a bright, shiny, loud attention grabber, who goes all international to fight crime, he wants the world to know he's Iron Man and his enemies are totally lame, so no wonder he has no qualms about killing! Batman's secret identity, Bruce Wayne, is an angsty tosser, that tries way to hard. But Tony Stark, is a witty, brilliant inventor, who has basically harnessed all of Batman's training, strength, weapons, vehicles and flight, improved them, and put them in to a single suit. So though I personally prefer Batman as a hero, I prefer Tony Stark as a character. The interaction between Stark and Pepper Potts, played by Gwyneth Paltrow (_Se7en, The Talented Mr. Ripley, The Royal Tenenbaums, Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow_) was incredible. It just goes to show what good casting can achieve, even in an action flick, the dialogue is hilarious and clever. Is it possible for a Super Hero movie to be a bad Super Hero film but a great film? I guess it is. The antagonists are lacking to say the least, and their dispatching leaves even more to be desired. Which is normally not too huge when you get the rest so perfect, unfortunately, it's a comic book film, about Super Heroes, and Super Villains. They fight one another over and over, in fact that's pretty much what the comics are about in their entirety, so it's quite a major short coming. That being said, it's really the only one that _Iron Man_ has. In a way though, they're a similar comparison to the latest Batman films again; Iron Monger and Whiplash are flashy, but disappointing, where The Joker, Two-Face, Scarecrow and Ra's al Ghul are top notch as bad guys. Whereas Ironman's Obadiah Stane and Ivan Vanko were great characters, but Batman's The Joker is only seen in his villain persona, and Harvey Dent, Jonathan Crane and Henri Ducard are nothing more than vessels for their alter-egos. All that aside, the film is just plain good, and you don't need to be a fan of Iron Man, Super Heroes or comics in general to enjoy _Iron Man_. 82% -Gimly

Iron Man did a lot more than just launch the Marvel Cinematic Universe. It was the first comic book movie in a long time to integrate the fantastical nature of superheroes and supervillains into a real world setting with consequences. It also showed how great of a filmmaker Jon Favreau is and rebooted the career of Robert Downey Jr. For all this, Iron Man is a fantastic movie, still one of the best MCU films. It's so much fun to watch. Yet it displays a lot of intelligence, exploring the internal dilemma of a man profiteering off war when faced with the harsh reality that he is part of a system that corrupts absolutely.

Grizz ride 'main squeeze,' 'man in the paint' and bench play past Sacramento
Memphis center Steven Adams and super-guard Ja Morant were forces in the paint that the Sacramento Kings could not offset at the FedExForum on New Year's night. (Photo: Terry Davis/The New Tri-State Defender)
Take what Ja Morant said about Memphis center Steve Adams, and what Adams said about the Grizzlies' All-Star guard, add the statement the team's bench play made and you have the essence of how the Grizzlies beat the Sacramento Kings 118-108 at FedExForum on New Year's Night.
In the second game of a home back-to-back, the Grizzlies dominated the paint, scoring 64 points to the Kings' 44.
"The main squeeze is Ja (Morant). He is just tough to stop, mate," said Adams, detailing why the Grizzlies tend to be so good at scoring in the paint. "So, getting him to stop going … you can't say, 'Stop scoring in the paint, dude.' You can't. They're probably just trying to emphasize there, but it's still a tough job because you got Ja just going.
"He is ridiculous. He's a tough dude, and we have constant movement too. All our offense is just for us to attack the paint. (Desmond Bane) is in there as a three-point threat. That means that there's a hole in the defense that we can actually attack; so there's no shift. It's tough, man, especially when we are flowing. We're a big transition team, even if it's a slow transition. Those are just tough to defend."

Morant led the Grizzlies with 35 points (eight rebounds) in his second consecutive 30-plus-point performance. Adams, who had 21 rebounds against New Orleans, tied a career-high with 23 more in the win over the Kings. He now is the only player in franchise history to haul in at least 20 rebounds in consecutive games. Adams also tied the club record for rebounds in any two-game span (44, last accomplished by Jonas Valančiūnas on Feb. 28-29, 2020).
"I don't think anybody else wants to go down there and battle. It's just a man amongst boys at that point," said Morant on the value of Adams.
"He's the man in the paint on both ends, whether it's a defensive or offensive thing. He's been very big time for us, back-to-back, 20-plus rebound games, which we know we need, and it's something we have to do … he took it upon himself to go in and do that for us. …
"We still have to help him on the board. We can't just say, 'Here, Stevo.' We're going to get a rebound, but we know he's down there somewhere and eventually, he'll get it."
The Kings are one of only three teams to defeat the Grizzlies at FedExForum this season. It was the third time the two teams have met this season, with the road team winning the two previous games.

Memphis started very slow, with their first six points via the free-throw line. Jaren Jackson Jr. made the team's first basket hitting from three-point range five minutes into the game.
With the Kings up 16-9, the Grizzlies sprinted on an 11-0 run to forge ahead (20-16). Memphis led 27-26 at the end of the quarter.
The Kings took their first lead (35-34) of the second quarter on a shot by Malik Monk. Coming off the bench, reserve point guard Tyus Jones hit back to three-pointers to put the Grizzlies ahead 46-40. The resurgent Kings (19-23) kept battling back and were within a point (59-58) at the half.
The Grizzlies controlled the third quarter, which ended with them ahead 91-87. Memphis surged early in the fourth quarter and led by as many as 14 points (113-99). The closest the Kings got from there was seven points (113-106) with 2:51 left in the game.
Memphis entered the game with its bench short. Bane, the Grizzlies' starting shooting guard, was held out in light of his recent return from an extended injury absence. Brandon Clarke, a key bench contributor, also was a no-go, along with Ziaire Williams (sore knee.) It was Clarke's first game missed this season.
David Roddy had five points, four rebounds and two assists in 15 minutes off the bench. (Photo: Terry Davis/The New Tri-State Defender)
Tyus Jones led the bench effort with 18 points (eight assists). John Konchar, who has been playing better lately, had 12 points.
"Next man up mentality," said head coach Taylor Jenkins on the play of the bench. "Those guys (are) seeking opportunities and want to get better on a night like tonight where we needed different guys to step up. They were big because we knew their bench was a big priority to their success, and our bench did a phenomenal job winning that battle."
John Konchar watches his shot after shooting over Harrison Barnes. Off the bench, he had 12 points, five rebounds, two assists in 28 minutes. (Photo: Terry Davis/The New Tri-State Defender)
The Kings were led by De'Aaron Fox with 19 points (six assists). Domantas Sabonis had 18 points and 14 rebounds. Monk had 18 points off the bench.
Memphis starters Dillon Brooks and Jaren Jackson Jr. played solidly. Brooks had 15 points and, notably, only two fouls. Jackson had 14 points and 7 rebounds.
Next for the Grizzlies is a two-game, back-to-back on the road. They face the Charlotte Hornets on Wednesday (Jan. 4) and the Orlando Magic the next evening. The next home game is against the Utah Jazz on Sunday (Jan. 8).

PRESS RELEASE: A hundred youth are hitting the ground – Where are you, Mr. President?
WASHINGTON, Jan. 15, 2015 /Christian Newswire/ — Just one day before the anniversary of Roe v. Wade, on which the House will decide whether or not to ban abortion after 20 weeks, a group of young activists led by Star Parker of Urban Cure, Fr. Terry Gensemer of CEC for Life, and Kristina Garza of Survivors of the Abortion Holocaust will gather in front of the White House to demonstrate unity with the preborn and an ardent devotion to the sanctity of life.
WHAT: Million to One Memorial Die-In
WHEN: Wednesday, January 21st at 11:00 AM
WHERE: The White House
On Wednesday, Jan 21st, at 11:00 AM, a group of nearly a hundred youth will lie on the cold winter ground, covering themselves in red cloth, while others hold signs reading, "They are lying down in a fetal position, identifying themselves with the preborn…."
Die-ins, first held by the Survivors, have become a very effective tool within the pro-life movement. The outreach presents a striking visual to spectators and stirs up overwhelming emotion for those who participate.
"Millions of our peers, family members, and fellow citizens have been exterminated by abortion," says Kristina Garza, Campus Outreach Director for Survivors. "This demonstration honors the lives of those countless victims and reminds our president of the slaughter he condones. We will continue to pray and fight for an end to the violence of abortion."
Fr. Terry Gensemer, Director of CEC For Life, comments, "I can only hope that President Obama takes note of these devoted young people bringing their generation's request to protect life at every stage to his front yard. Out of everywhere in this city that they could have chosen to do this event, they chose a spot right outside his window."
Star Parker of Urban Cure adds, "The youth of this nation have an intense desire to see justice and equality for all persons – including the preborn. But they know such a change must be supported by this nation's highest leadership. Are you willing to listen to their call, Mr. President?"
The Million to One Memorial Die-In will begin at 11:00 AM in front of the White House. Each person lying on the sidewalk during this outreach represents one million babies aborted since 1973. All are invited to participate.

"Young entrepreneurs may be an endangered species, but universities are pumping tons of resources into attracting the next startup cool kids. Campuses are investing in startup labs, incubators and courses in entrepreneurship. But how effective are such programs for helping students turn their novel idea into a business venture? To get an answer, I reached out to Scott Gerber, the founder of the Young Entrepreneur Council (YEC), which is an invitation-only network of entrepreneurs age 40 and under. I also spoke to the serial entrepreneur about risk, the barriers of entry and the ill-informed reasons young people jump into entrepreneurship.
"Many millennials turned to entrepreneurship after the economic crash in 2008 because of the lack of jobs. What's driving millennials in 2015/2016 to start their own businesses?
"If you look at jobs in the U.S., especially for recent college grads, wages have not increased much. Two, technology in general has removed the barrier of entry to entrepreneurship. There's never been an easier time to get into the game.
"There's certainly a sexiness to being an entrepreneur, which I actually think is a bad thing. Some are doing it for the wrong reasons. They're doing it because they saw the 'Social Network.' Or they're looking at the Ubers of the world and seeing these billion-dollar valuations.
"I think entrepreneurship can be an opportunity for those who understand it. But for the ones who are getting into it for the wrong reasons, they're likely going to fail because they have no concept of what what it actually means to be an entrepreneur."


NORTH LITTLE ROCK — The Bryant Hornets overwhelmed the North Little Rock Charging Wildcats, 6-0, on Friday night and, with Conway's 2-1 win over Little Rock Catholic, pulled into a three-way tie for first place in the 6A-Central Conference.
It was the Hornets fourth win in a row, since a tough 2-0 loss at Catholic. Their last two wins have both been shutouts.
Delgadillo's goal started the romp. It was followed up by Landon Nelson, who scored off a rebound.
That made it 4-0 at the half.
The Hornets will now have to defend their share of first place against the other two teams, Conway on Tuesday, April 9, and Catholic on Tuesday, April 16. In between, they host fourth-place Fort Smith Northside on Friday, April 12.

FEMALE MAOIST LURED POLICE INTO TRAP
Posted by ajadhind on February 12, 2009
MAHARASTRA:A woman named Narmada led the deadly Maoist attack that killed 15 policemen in Maharashtra' s Gadchiroli district on Sunday. Her deputy was also a woman named Taraka alias Vimlaa. Narmada, a 44-year-old college dropout from Andhra Pradesh, has been leading the Maoists' Gadchiroli unit since shortly after the death of its last leader, Shivanna, who was killed in a police encounter in Chhattisgarh last year.
The sources said the attack in the jungles of Markegaon village about 300 km southeast of Nagpur was a joint operation of the North Bastar and Gadchiroli units of the Communist Party of India (Maoist). Narmada, a 44-year-old college dropout from Andhra Pradesh, has been leading the Maoists' Gadchiroli unit since shortly after the death of its last leader, Shivanna, who was killed in a police encounter in Chhattisgarh last year. She is married to Maoist leader Sudhakar alias Kiran who works for the outfit's publicity wing, say sources.
Her deputy Taraka, a tribal girl from Gadchiroli, is also the wife of a senior Maoist leader, Bhupathi. He is a member of the group's central committee.Since she took charge, Narmada has entrusted key posts to women. Most of her local organisational squads, which consist of 10-15 armed Maoists, are headed by women.
The Maharashtra Police have launched a massive search to find the group. More than 2,000 heavily-armed police personnel have been deployed for combing operations in the area, which is 80 km by road from the district headquarter, Gadchiroli town. Seventy policemen have been killed by Maoists in Gadchiroli and Gondia districts of Vidharba since 2002, according to the Anti Naxal Operations unit of Maharashtra Police. Naxalites of the People's War Group, and later, the CPI(Maoist) have been active in this area since 1980.Maharashtra Police chief AN Roy denied media reports that the bodies of the policemen who died in the attack had been mutilated. "This is absolutely false," he said.Agencies investigating the attack say the Maoists used a police informer to draw the policemen to their deaths.
The attackers knew of the movements of the policemen, who were on their way to investigate the burning of a tractor and a road-roller by Maoists.

Solved with Surveillance Cameras
7 Chilling Crimes That Were Solved Thanks To Surveillance Cameras They're everywhere, and they're watching you. They're surveillance cameras, and following 9/11 they seemingly sprouted on every building, parking garage and traffic light. The exact number installed is difficult to assess, but oft-cited market research tracks sales at 30 million cameras. In New York City 6,000 public cameras gaze upon the city. In Chicago it's 10,000 — the densest concentration in the U.S.
While civil-liberties advocates summon the grim specter of George Orwell's 1984 (as cities roll out software that "automatically" recognizes suspicious behavior, we can't exactly fault them), it's hard to argue with the results. Crime dips as the cameras roll, research appears to show.
Together with Investigation Discovery's "See No Evil," airing Tuesdays at 10 p.m. (9 p.m. CST), we dug through the footage and found the baffling, blood-curdling, and just plain bizarre cases where being caught on camera led to being caught.
The Abduction Of Carlesha Freeland-Gaither
By the time surveillance cameras caught sight of an old Ford Taurus parking on a Philadelphia street, Carlesha Freeland-Gaither was already being hunted. As the camera rolls, a man hops out and skitters around the edge of the frame toward the distant figure of his victim, Freeland-Gaither, a 22-year-old nursing assistant. The predator lunges and manhandles her back toward his car and the camera. The desperate woman rocks the car — even kicking out its windows — with the force of her struggle.
Soon after the abduction, Philadelphia police released the video to the public. The dramatic footage garnered national media attention, but it also spurred the interest of a team of detectives far south of Philly. Police in Virginia were searching for a violent offender named Delvin Barnes, whose DNA had been found on a teenage girl who stumbled, naked and smelling of bleach, into a local gas station.
The case hinged on Barnes' aging Ford Taurus
On a hunch, they showed the Philadelphia abduction video to Barnes' father, who identified the Taurus as his son's car. Detectives also spotted the decals of a local car dealership — one that practiced a controversial technique of fitting GPS units on cars sold to customers with bad credit. When turned on, the GPS led police to a shopping center parking lot in Jessup, Maryland, where Barnes surrendered without a fight. Freeland-Gaither, injured but intact, was returned to her overjoyed family.
The Assault of Two Men in Philadelphia
As they're captured on camera sauntering down a Philadelphia street, this group seems to be having a good time. But on an October night in 2014, their members turned savagely violent. Around 10:45 p.m., the alleged attackers confronted the unfortunate victims, two gay men. Taunts about the men's sexuality escalated quickly into open violence. Some members of the group pinned the men's arms while other punched, kicked and robbed them.
The release of the details of the case and the accompanying video were met with public outrage, due to both the hideousness of the crime and the apparent privilege of the attackers. But then something interesting happened: social media sleuths began searching the video for clues. After a picture surfaced showing a similarly dressed group at Philly restaurant La Viola, Twitter user FanSince09 tracked down members of the group by referencing who had checked in at the restaurant on Facebook. (Criminal masterminds they were not.)
Three members of the group, which included the daughter of a county police chief, were indicted on charges of assault and conspiracy. For his work, FanSince09 received shoutouts from the police.
When news circulated in 2011 that Brooklyn 8-year-old Leiby Kletzky had not returned home from day camp, neighborhood do-gooder, Yaakov German, scrambled to help in the search. According to detailed reporting in New York Magazine, German obtained a surveillance video from his son, who was a teacher at the camp, that showed Kletzky leaving as scheduled at 4:50 PM, wearing striped shirt and backpack. It was the first, and last, time the boy walked home by himself.
Spurred on by his discovery, German rushed to retrace the boy's path after he exited the first camera's view. He knew that Kletzky's way home required a left turn, but the boy never appeared on the street cameras of businesses along that route. The boy must have missed his turn, German concluded, and mistakenly continued straight.
kletzky
Kletzky missed a turn in his Borough Park neighborhood (blue), and headed straight into danger.
The amateur sleuth turned his search in that direction. Any resistance from business owners unwilling to share their tapes wilted in the face of German's doggedness. Kletkzy appeared on cameras, but for only a few seconds here, a smattering of frames there. At one point the trail seemed to go dead — until German checked with a local car dealership.
Its camera had caught something strange: the footage appeared to show a man, later identified as Levi Aron, with Kletzky. Aron was also seen entering and exiting a dentist's office. Through the dentist's records, police finally tracked down Aron, who confessed to killing and dismembering the child.
For his horrific crime, Aron was sentenced to 40 years to life in prison.
The Shooting Of Levar Jones
In September 2014, 35-year-old Levar Jones was confronted by police in South Carolina for allegedly failing to wear a seatbelt. As the investigating officer's dashboard camera shows, Jones is lucky he survived the experience.
Jones, who is African American, was stepping out of his car at a gas station when he was signalled by highway patrolman Sean Groubert, who is white. Groubert can be heard on video calling for Jones' license. As Jones reaches into his vehicle to retrieve it (without obvious hostile intent), Groubert bursts forward with gun drawn, screaming for Jones to exit the car. Jones turns to comply with the officer's order, but Groubert is already firing: four shots in a matter of seconds. Jones crumples, hit in the hip. From the ground, Jones asks Groubert, "Sir, why did you shoot me?"
Unlike some other high-profile cases involving law enforcement shootings of unarmed African Americans, Groubert faces legal sanction in connection with the incident. Not only was he fired from the South Carolina Highway Patrol, but he was also charged with assault and battery of a high and aggravated nature. If convicted, Groubert could spend up to 20 years in prison.
Jones, who is recovering from his injuries, received $285,000 in a settlement from the state. Cattle-Rustlers Caught On Camera
Ed Davis' herd had shrunk. Over the years, cattle rustlers had plagued the 77-year-old Auburndale, Florida rancher; once even picking off cows from a second pasture while police officers were searching the first. In December 2011, he discovered that roughly a dozen of his Hereford cattle were missing and contacted authorities. Davis mounted an around-the-clock watch, guarding the cows that remained, but the case only broke open thanks to surveillance camera footage showing a truck running a traffic light on a deserted Florida highway.
Detectives focused on a white 1989 Dodge pickup truck that ran a red light at 3 a.m. on the night of the theft. The Dodge was registered to Andres Trujillo, a convicted livestock thief. And the pickup hauled a trailer with cows whose markings were consistent with Hereford stock. Authorities in neighboring counties alerted Auburndale police that another man, Yoinel DeVera-Gutierrez, was wanted in connection with similar thefts.
The telltale markings of the Hereford
From there, a trail of surveillance video eventually lassoed the two-man rustling ring. Cameras at the Okeechobee Livestock Market caught a man, with a suspiciously similar name of Yoinel DeVera, selling Hereford cattle the day after the theft. Both suspects later appeared together on a bank surveillance camera cashing a check from the sale. Police went on to apprehend the men without incident and charged them with Grand Theft of Livestock. Alas, it was too late for the Hereford of farmer Davis. They were sent to slaughter.
The Hunt For Hannah Graham
For six long weeks in 2014, Hannah Graham's family endured the hell of not knowing. But the answers, when they finally came on Oct. 24, were not happy ones. The body of Graham, an 18-year-old student at the University of Virginia, was found on an abandoned property just outside the campus town of Charlottesville.
Between the morning of her disappearance, Sept. 13, and the day her remains were identified, the sad story of Graham's last hours captivated the nation. She began the previous night at a party with friends, but then, intoxicated and disoriented by the campus neighborhood to which she had only relocated weeks before, she wandered into the night, weaving in and out of view of the security cameras scattered around Charlottesville. Texts sent to friends as late as 1:20 a.m. (her last contact) expressed confusion but not fear.
Graham and Matthew walk together across upper part of the screen.
Two of the cameras, however, also caught a figure that piqued the interest of police: that of Jesse Matthew. In the last known video taken of her, Graham can be seen walking with Matthews, a hospital worker who had been previously accused of (but never charged with) sexual assault. Authorities eventually found him 1,300 miles from Graham's last whereabouts, camping on a beach in Texas.
Matthew was charged with abduction with the intent to defile in the matter of Hannah Graham, as well as attempted capital murder and rape of a woman in 2005. He has pled not guilty.
The Drunken Drivers Of Grand Forks, North Dakota
That at least 17 police departments and sheriff's offices across the country have received licenses to fly drones (including the office in Grand Forks, North Dakota) was probably unwelcome news for at least four North Dakotans. They have the dubious distinction of being the first people in America arrested with the help of municipally owned drones.
According to Vice, early on Sept. 28, 2014, Grand Forks deputy sheriffs pulled over a car whose occupants they suspected of drunken driving. The four men inside the car jumped out and ran into a nearby corn field. Rather than dive into the corn themselves, deputies launched the Qube, an "unmanned aerial vehicle" that, at 3 feet long and weighing just 5 pounds, more closely resembles a hobbyist's gadget than a law enforcement tool.
Fortunately (for the officers, anyway), the Qube comes equipped with thermal imaging technology, which allowed the deputies to track the body heat of the fleeing suspects in the autumn corn. The first suspect was picked up within minutes; none of the runners eluded the eye in the sky.
Is the Qube the future of video surveillance? While the aerial drone has only been deployed 11 times in Grand Forks, for deputies there it seems to have become a routine policing tool. (Its footage has already been entered into evidence in court, as part of a sexual assault case.) In the future, most surveillance footage may very well be taken from the air.

Great leaders focus in on what we can call the "Talk/Do" ratio. Put simply, they measure how much their employees talk and communicate compared to how much work they actually get done.
How do you go about evaluating the talent in your organization? There are obviously many different performance metrics you can look at. But sometimes an employee's verbal skill and presence can cause you to overlook their real impact.
talent in their organizations, great leaders focus in on what we can call the "talk/do" ratio. Put simply, they measure how much their employees talk and communicate compared to how much work they actually get done.
When you go through the process of categorizing your team in this way, you'll find that most of your people will fall into one of three buckets. Not unlike how Goldilocks evaluated her porridge options, you'll see that you'll have some that are "Too Hot," others who will be "Too Cold," while the best will be "Just Right." The real value of using this metric is to then use it as a coaching opportunity to get as many of your team into the "Just Right" bucket as possible. Let me explain what I mean.
We all know the people who talk all day long–and yet get very little done. Their verbal skills are usually impressive and it is hard to penetrate what is really happening without real effort. These are your "Too Hot" people; the ones who blow too much smoke. There is an old English phrase that applies here that goes: "At the end of the day, when all is said and done, more is said than done." It applies to this group.
They are also the folks who can have a negative ripple impact on the rest of the organization because they eat up other people's time in meetings and impromptu chitchat. As a result, everyone gets less done. These are people I also define as amplifiers. The coaching opportunity here, obviously, is to let these folks know that they quite simply need to spend less time talking–and more time getting things done. Try not to lose focus on their accomplishments due to their verbal skills.
What leader doesn't love the employee who keeps their mouth closed and their head down so that they get enormous amounts of work done? Sounds like a dream, right? While it's great to have such productive people, it can actually be a detriment to the rest of the organization if they aren't talking enough about what they're doing–and when they're going to do it by–to get everyone on the same page. We see this a lot with highly technical and introspective talent, like programmers, who would prefer to be left to themselves to work. The coaching opportunity here is to help these folks understand how engaging with others in the organization can make their work even more effective and engage the team.
Finally, you have the people who have learned to strike the perfect balance between talking and doing–your "Just Right" bucket–their Talk/Do ratio is right on point. These are the folks who communicate without sucking people into too many conversations or meetings while also producing the right amount of output. The more people like this you have on your team, you'll be amazed at how the level of cohesion and productivity begins to skyrocket. The only coaching lesson they need is to be encouraged to keep up the good work.
Realize that each organization has their own ratio and the right ratio for a high performer within that organization needs to match the business. Some require high communication to be successful and others expect people to put their heads down and work. When you are thinking about the Talk/Do ratio – you need to include the context of the culture.
So when it comes to evaluating the talent in your organization, consider using the Talk/Do Ratio to ask whether someone is Too Hot, Too Cold, or Just Right. Your organization will profit as a result.

On Army Day, a Monumental National Flag will be hoisted at Longewala
Monumental National Flag is the world's largest national flag made of Khadi, will be put to a grand public display

Connect Gujarat Desk15 Jan 2022 7:04 AM GMT
The Monumental National Flag, which is the world's largest national flag made of Khadi fabric, will be put to a grand public display along the India – Pakistan Border in Jaisalmer to celebrate "Army Day" on Saturday, an official statement said.
The Monumental National Flag will be displayed at Longewala which was the center stage of the historic battle between India and Pakistan in 1971.
A statement from Micro, Small & Medium Enterprises Ministry said this will be the fifth public display of the National Flag since its unveiling in Leh on October 2, 2021.
It was, later on, displayed at Hindon Airbase on the occasion of Air Force Day on October 8, 2021 and at the Red Fort on October 21, 2021, for marking the completion of 100 crore Covid vaccinations in India.
On December 4, 2021, the Monumental National Flag was displayed at the Naval Dockyard near Gateway of India in Mumbai to celebrate Navy Day.
The statement said the Monumental National Flag symbolizes the collective spirit of India and the heritage artisanal craft of Khadi. It has been conceptualized and prepared by Khadi and Village Industries Commission (KVIC) to celebrate 'Azadi ka Amrit Mahotsav', the 75 years of Independence. KVIC has handed over the flag to the Defence forces for displaying the same at prominent places on historic occasions.
The Monumental National Flag is 225 feet long, 150 feet wide and weighs around 1400 kgs. It took 49 days for 70 Khadi artisans to prepare this flag. Making of the Monumental National Flag has created nearly 3500 man hours of additional work for Khadi artisans and allied workers. A whopping 4500 meters of hand-spun, hand-woven Khadi cotton bunting has been used in making the flag which covers the total area of 33, 750 square feet. The Ashok Chakra in the flag measures a diameter of 30 feet.

The Real Planet of the Apes – The Liberian Island Inhabited by Chimpanzees Formerly Used in Animal Testing
By Sumitra on December 10th, 2014 Category: Animals
Believe it or not, a real-life Planet of the Apes does exist in an isolated area located deep in the jungles of West Africa. It's home to dozens of retired laboratory chimpanzees who were at one point used for medical research. These chimps are practically heroes – they've managed to survive disease, two civil wars and numerous medical tests and experiments.
The apes are former residents of The Liberian Institute of Biomedical Research (Vilab II) which played a pivotal role in developing treatments for ailments such as Hepatitis during the 1970s. It was shut down in the mid-2000s due to growing pressure from animal rights activists, and the apes were transferred to a remote Liberian island in the middle of Farmington River, to live a life of quiet retirement.
The island – known to locals as 'Monkey Island' – is home to over 60 chimps who only allow familiar caretakers to approach its shores. Their story was covered in a short documentary film called Island of the Apes made to promote the 2014 film Dawn of the Planet of the Apes.

The film depicted American journalist Kaj Larsen's journey to Monkey Island, and his experiences there. To reach the island, Larsen had to drive 40 miles from Monrovia to the village of Marshall, and then negotiate with the locals to take him to the island on one of their canoes. After striking a deal for $80, he also had to purchase fruit offerings for the chimpanzees. Larsen was also told in no uncertain terms that he must not step on the island if he values his life. "They will eat you raw!" the villagers warned. "If you are a strange person, okay, when you go there, they become aggressive," said Jerry, a security guard at the island. "But the only thing, the chimps, they are afraid of water. They don't swim across. They just walk at the water edge."
As the boat pulled up to the island, the chimps caught a glimpse of Larsen's team and began to shout and scream in agitation. Things seemed to get out of hand as a huge male charged out at the boat, but it retreated as the water got deeper. "They were super aggressive baring their teeth when we first showed up, but now that we've got some food out, they've calmed down a lot," Larsen said. "Even as I floated just a few feet from the apes, it was hard to believe that this place actually existed," he added. But what he found even more astonishing was the story behind how and why they got there.
He traveled to the Vilab campus, where he learned that over 100 chimpanzees were injected with infectious diseases in the hope of finding cures. Larsen interviewed Betsy Brotman, former director of Vilab, in order to learn more about the facility. She explained that Liberia was chosen for its large population of chimpanzees. "A lot of people had pet chimpanzees," she revealed. "And when they get past a certain age of around five, they aren't very good pets any more. And that's how we acquired our animals until we had enough breeding age animals."
"They're the only susceptible species for Hepatitis," Dr. Preston Marx, a virologist working at the institute, explained. "Once a chimpanzee will be Hepatitis positive, then you start needing naive animals (that have not been used in experiments). So they started releasing them on to these islands. The reason they could do that is because chimpanzees can't swim." There were six islands in all where the chimps were released.

As trouble began to brew in Liberia in 1989, which would result in two gory civil wars, the Vilab program was at threat. In the midst of all the violence, they were struggling to continue research and also protect the chimps that were released on to the islands. Betsy decided to stay on, even though that meant putting her life at risk, simply because the hundreds of animals needed to be fed. Eventually, she found herself compelled to help the human victims of war, as well.
Both the lab and its employees managed to remain unharmed until 1993, when the civil war finally made its way to their doorstep. Terrorist forces stormed into Betsy's home one day and went after her husband Brian, assuming that he had worked for former Liberian President Charles Taylor. Sadly, Brian was shot and killed.

Even after the horrific incident, Betsy refused to leave the chimps and the people who needed her help. She continued to work at the lab and made it through both civil wars. In the end, it wasn't the war but the change of public opinion towards animal-testing that brought about the closure of the lab. Anti-testing videos were released that depicted the cruel methods employed at other facilities, ultimately turning the tide against the practice. In the late 1990s, scientists concluded that most chimp testing was more cruel than effective. But the documentary does state that the research Betsy and her team conducted at Vilab lead to life-saving vaccinations for Hepatitis B as well as a screening method for Hepatitis C – two diseases that combined, affect millions of people worldwide.
In 2005, Vilab caved, unable to withstand the pressure from animal rights activists. "I think they were right," Betsy admitted. "Chimpanzees shouldn't really be used in experiments. I really do feel this way. If you're going to do work in chimpanzees, you should set up a system so that at the end of the research they have a place where they can be retired to, so that they can live a nice chimp life to the best of whatever is available." And that is what Monkey Island is all about – Betsy, along with a core of support staff, continue to feed and care for all the retired chimps. A group of trained Liberian caretakers visit the island every other day to bring food to the chimps, observe them and make sure all the animals are doing all right.
Much to Larsen's surprise, when he made a second visit to the island along with the caretakers, the chimps were very well behaved. "This time it was clear that the chimps were very familiar with the caretakers and trusted them completely," he said. "As for the chimps themselves, although they were infected with diseases like Hepatitis when they were originally retired here, many, if not all, have since fully recovered," he added. The chimps truly to appear happy and well-adjusted to this sanctuary of their own.

Richard Paw U, 85, helped unite Island Buddhists
By Mary Kaye Ritz, Honolulu Advertiser, Dec 15, 2007
Honolulu, Hawaii (USA) -- Richard Paw U, a career diplomat with the United Nations and founding president of the Hawai'i Association of International Buddhists, died Sunday at his home in Kane'ohe. He was 85.
Born on Aug. 17, 1922, in Akyab, Burma, he saw many changes in his lifetime, including the takeover of the area by a militia. The area of his birthplace is now known as Sittwe, Myanmar.
He worked for the U.S. government during World War II, and in 1946, he earned a scholarship to Columbia University in New York. In March 1949, he joined the U.N.
He served at the headquarters in New York, at the U.N. Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Far East in Bangkok, then was transferred back to U.N. headquarters to work as the head of regional commissions liaison office.
When Paw U retired in 1983, he and his wife made Hawai'i their new home, but retirement wasn't a quiet one. Soon after their arrival, the United Nations Association of America's Hawai'i branch and Paw U discovered each other, and he served on the board of directors, which included a stint as the president.
The Rev. Yoshi Fujitani, former bishop of the Honpa Hongwanji who was at the Buddhist Study Center about the time that Paw U came to Hawai'i, describes his friend as "very open, very large, you might say, very generous."
Buddhism infused his life: Besides taking pilgrimages with his wife to many Buddhist countries, he came to know the various Buddhists in Hawai'i, eventually realizing many sects didn't intersect.
Fujitani said Paw U's openness and experience with the U.N. "made him want to do something for Hawai'i."
In 1985, the Buddhist community had attempted to bring the Japanese and non-Japanese denominations together, but that lasted about a year. With Japanese Buddhism the prevalent sects, the Tibetans, Vietnamese and Koreans were not coordinated.
"We ran out of things to do (in 1985)," Fujitani recalled. "(The organization) was lying dormant in 1992, and Richard came along and reorganized that. He led to its resuscitation. ... He knew a lot of people, associated easily with others."
Paw U formed Hawai'i Association of International Buddhists in 1992 to bring together the different schools and traditions to foster friendships and understanding. It continues to this day.
Fujitani laughed at the memories of the times he'd visited Paw U at home, where there was plenty of good talk and "a stash of good wine in his wine cellar."
Paw U also was the driving force behind the book "Unity in Diversity: Hawai'i's Buddhist Communities," which was created during his HAIB presidency.
"That's his baby," Fujitani said. "The title was the keynote in Richard's life — unity in diversity. We're all different, but we're all one. There are different kinds of Buddhists, but we're all one, spilled out into the entire community.
He is survived by his wife, Diana Min; sons, Mya Sein Paw U and Kyaw Tha Paw U; and three granddaughters.
A memorial gathering will be 6:30 p.m. Friday at Jodo Mission, 1429 Makiki St., co-sponsored by HAIB and the Vipassana Hawaii meditation group.
