Best Moments from the 2019 IBHOF Induction Ceremony
Arne K. Lang
The capstone of the annual Hall of Fame Weekend at the International Boxing Hall of Fame in Canastota, New York, a four-day event, is the ceremony for the new inductees. Eight new members were formally ushered into the Hall this year and the acceptance speeches of the seven living honorees were captured on YouTube.
Boxers (Modern Era)
James "Buddy" McGirt
Known for his high ring IQ, McGirt won world titles at 140 and 147 pounds and finished his career with a record of 73-6-1 (48 KOs). Five years after his final fight he was named Trainer of the Year by the Boxing Writers Association of America, largely for his work with Arturo Gatti. As a trainer he has been associated with 11 world champions including Gatti, Vernon Forrest, Sergey Kovalev, and Antonio Tarver, the latter of whom was seated on the dais.
McGirt was the main event of sorts as he had the privilege of speaking last. A loud round of applause greeted him as he took the podium.
At times McGirt had difficulty keeping his composure as he was overwhelmed by the moment, especially when he reflected on the influence of his late mother, but of all the inductees he injected the most humor into his acceptance speech. He said that 30 years ago to this very day he had his first date with his wife who was there to share the moment with him. "I went from making out in a parking lot in Seacaucas, New Jersey, to making out at the Boxing Hall of Fame," he quipped. "A woman who stays with a boxer even 30 days deserves a medal," he added.
Donald Curry
The Lone Star Cobra was 34-6 (25 KOs). His heyday was brief but spectacular. "At the pinnacle of his career, Curry was as skilled as any fighter I ever saw in any weight division," said the noted boxing historian Frank Lotierzo.
Reportedly 400-4 as amateur, Curry's signature win was a brutal second round KO of Milton McCrory on June 12, 1985, at Caesars Palace. With that win he became the unified welterweight champion.
"I really don't have words for this, but eventually they will come," Curry reportedly said when informed that he had made the Hall after a lengthy wait. But the words never did come. He spent less than a minute at the podium but did manage to thank his longtime trainer Paul Reyes. His speech was thick.
Julian Jackson
A world title holder at 154 and 160 pounds, The Hawk was one of the hardest punchers of all time. He finished 55-6 with 49 knockouts in a 17-year career that began in 1981. He continues to work in boxing as a trainer and coach in his native Virgin Islands.
Jackson was accompanied to Canastota by many members of his large extended family and by a good-sized delegation of government officials from the U.S. Virgin Islands where he is a national hero.
Jackson compensated for Donald Curry's brevity, as it were, with the longest speech of the afternoon. An ordained minister of an evangelical persuasion, his speech had two parts, the second part a sermon that he had undoubtedly delivered before, an inspirational talk that gave the ceremony the feel of a tent revival meeting. The gist was that a man must be willing to take risks, putting his trust in God for whom all things are possible. Promoter Don King was among those that Jackson thanked.
Boxer (Old-Timer)
Tony DeMarco
Born Leonardo Liotta in Boston's North End, DeMarco (58-12-1, 33 KOs) won the world welterweight title on April 1, 1955, with a 14th round stoppage of Johnny Saxton. Before the year was out, he had two toe-to-toe wars with Carmen Basilio sandwiched around a first round stoppage of talented Chico Vejar. His second fight with Basilio was named Fight of the Year by The Ring magazine.
DeMarco was introduced by Al Valenti, the grandson of Hall of Fame promoter Anthony "Rip" Valenti. He noted that unlike other Boston sports heroes such as Ted Williams, Bobby Orr, and Larry Bird, DeMarco, the son of Sicilian immigrants, was actually born and raised in Boston which enhanced the affection the locals felt for him. DeMarco, noted Valenti, often walked back and forth to his engagements at Boston Garden where he fought 26 times. He was a true icon in Boston's Italian-American community, said Valenti, who noted that there is a street named for DeMarco and a statue of him in Boston.
DeMarco, who worked as a security guard at the Massachusetts Statehouse after leaving the sport, spoke briefly. Now 87 years old, he seemed to be in very good shape for a man of his vintage. His wife was there and he made certain to have her stand up and take a bow.
Non-Participants
Guy Jutras
Montreal's Jutras, who turned 87 (some say 88) in March, is a boxing lifer who has been involved in all facets of boxing including a 31-year career as a ringside judge during which he judged dozens of world championship fights involving many of the brightest stars in the sport.
In a rather curious speech, Jutras noted that there were a lot of unsavory characters in boxing at one time and credited the IBHOF, founded in 1989, for helping clean up the situation. "Some sources recognize that boxing (today) is one of the cleanest sports on earth," said Jutras, a comment that drew a round of applause.
Lee Samuels
Known as one of the good guys in boxing, Samuels joined Top Rank as a publicist in 1983 after his paper, the Philadelphia Bulletin, went belly-up and he is still associated with Bob Arum's organization today.
Samuels reflected that he first became captivated by boxing after listening to Muhammad Ali (then known as Cassius Clay) fight Doug Jones on the radio. He was hired by Arum to assist in promoting a series of ESPN Thursday Night fights. Several years later he spent three months with Marvin Hagler at Hagler's training camp in Palm Springs where Hagler prepared for his date with Sugar Ray Leonard. He then performed the same role for Donald Curry. It pleased Samuels greatly that both Hagler and Curry were on the dais with him.
Samuels thanked all of his Top Rank colleagues, acknowledged his late mentor, legendary publicist Irving Rudd, and gave a shout out to MGM Grand publicist Scott Ghertner, a frequent collaborator.
Don Elbaum
One of the last of the Runyonesque characters in boxing, Elbaum, who won't reveal his age, promoted his first fight at age 17 and is as frisky as ever now that he's in his eighties. He is thought to have participated in more than a thousand fights (mostly club fights in Pennsylvania and New Jersey) as a promoter, co-promoter, and/or matchmaker.
Elbaum related that he was first drawn into boxing at age seven when an uncle took him to a show in New Bedford, Massachusetts. Willie Pep was in the main event and he couldn't take his eyes off him. "He made beautiful music," said Elbaum, whose mother was a concert pianist.
In 1963, Elbaum, who grew up in Erie, Pennsylvania, took Erie's Johnny Bizzarro to Manila to fight unified junior lightweight champion Flash Elorde. Bizzarro lost but went the full 15 against a fighter that Elbaum said was better than Manny Pacquiao.
Elbaum noted that he has known Teddy Atlas for 30 years and said "it's a shame and a disgrace and an embarrassment to the fans that Teddy is not back on the air." This drew a hearty round of applause.
Teddy Atlas
Atlas, who needs no introduction, was recognized as an "observer," a category set aside for "journalists, photographers, artists, and screenwriters." Perhaps equally well known as a trainer, he coached Michael Moorer and Timothy Bradley, among others, to world titles, and currently works with lineal light heavyweight champion Oleksandr Gvozdyk. As a TV commentator he has covered the last five Olympiads. In addition, the Staten Island resident is a noted philanthropist.
The classy Atlas noted that 300 or so volunteers help make Hall of Fame Weekend in Canastota a special occasion and he started by acknowledging their efforts. Many of Atlas's behind-the-scenes TV colleagues made the trek to Canastota to support him and he thanked them.
As would be true of Buddy McGirt, Atlas choked up when he acknowledged his wife and children. His work, he noted, often kept him away at special moments in their lives such as graduations, birthdays, and even one Christmas, and he expressed his gratitude that their bond was never ruptured.
Mario Rivera Martino
Martino died in 2017 at age 93 and was inducted posthumously. A U.S. Army veteran who spent his formative years in New York City, Martino returned to his native Puerto Rico where he lived the last six decades of his life, working as a boxing correspondent and ultimately serving as the President of the Puerto Rico Boxing Commission.

The Hauser Report: Folly at the New York State Athletic Commission
Kelsey McCarson
Manny Pacquiao's historic welterweight showdown against WBA titleholder Keith Thurman on July 20 is a case study on two types of atrophy which can negatively influence a professional fighter's career.
One happens because of age; the other due to inactivity.
Pacquiao is 40 now. Eventually, what happens in every fighter's life is the same thing that will happen to Pacquiao and relatively soon, whether against Thurman or sometime later. Pacquiao's body will just stop working, at least in comparison to how it did before, and while the fighter can keep working hard at the gym, the return he receives will slowly diminish until all of a sudden Pacquiao can no longer compete with the best.
That same kind of thing happens to everyone in life, but it's more apparent in boxing because instead of not being able to do something mundane anymore like easily bend over to pick up the keys you just dropped, the consequence is a black eye, a bloody nose and a view of the lights hanging above the boxing ring that you never really wanted to see (and probably won't remember).
It's strange then that Pacquiao is slightly favored by bookmakers over a talented and undefeated world champion ten years his junior in what's easily the most important fight of that champion's career.
While few fighters in boxing history have achieved as much as Pacquiao has over the course of his 24-year career, fewer still have been able to consistently defeat quality opponents at Pacquiao's advanced age.
And can we just let that sink in for a second? Pacquaio's prizefighting career has spanned almost a quarter-century!
Sure, Pacquiao has still looked pretty elite in recent outings. But after stopping Lucas Matthysse in July 2018 and scoring a dominant decision win over Adrien Broner in January 2019, it's fair to wonder if he'll finally hit the wall against the younger and naturally larger Thurman.
Thurman, 30, from Clearwater, Florida, is undefeated through 29 professional fights and, at first glance, he appears to be sitting on the right side of a crossroads fight. But a closer inspection of the situation reveals that might not actually be the case. Because where Pacquiao might be fighting a losing battle against age, Thurman has most definitely been losing a winnable battle against inactivity.
Here's what happens all too often in boxing (whether it's happening at the present to Thurman or not). A fighter puts in years and years of work only to stop doing all the things he did to get there once he reaches a comfortable position in the sport, usually a world title or two, numerous TV appearances and a boatload of money.
It's conceivable that what is going on with Thurman right now is exactly that. Because even in somehow managing to maintain his title status with the WBA, Thurman hasn't really been what most would consider an active fighter over the past few years.
In fact, the last time Thurman fought more than twice in a year was all the way back in 2012. The enigmatic champion only fought once each in 2016 and 2017, was out of boxing all of 2018 and didn't appear to be the fighter he was before that long break earlier this year in his majority decision win over Josesito Lopez.
To be fair to the fighter, Thurman did suffer an elbow injury which required surgery after his title unifying split-decision win against Danny Garcia in March 2017. He also suffered a deep bone bruise to his left hand which led to the cancellation of a 2018 return bout against an opponent that was somewhat suspiciously never named.
To be even more fair to Thurman, at least in regards to this particular fight, Pacquiao hasn't really been all that active in recent years either. But Pacquiao has 70 professional prizefights on his ledger, is ten years older than Thurman and has won world titles in eight different divisions.
It seems more reasonable that Pacquiao would be more selective about his fights these days, especially when you consider he was already a sure-fire Hall of Famer over a decade ago. Thurman, on the other hand, hasn't even yet proved to be the best welterweight signed by Al Haymon, much less in the whole shebang.
Regardless, it's a bit troubling that Thurman is seemingly unaware of how prolonged inactivity can negatively impact a fighter's career. According to Thurman, in fact, he basically trained for his last fight on a spin bike at L.A. Fitness, and that was the reason, at least in Thurman's mind, that Lopez was so competitive against him six months ago.
Obviously, Thurman knows he can't do the same thing against Pacquiao. But the thing about not using a skill or a gift for a prolonged period of time is that it tends to recede in a person even while that person remains unaware. It's entirely possible that Thurman has lost the best parts of his fighting ability and doesn't even know it yet.
No one can ever really predict these types of things, but it will be interesting to see how things play out. If Pacquiao is suddenly old and frail, it won't really matter how little Thurman has trained over the last couple of years. But if Pacquiao is anything like the fighter we saw against Broner and Matthysse, and Thurman comes into the fight looking like he did against Lopez, there's no telling how bad things could get for the younger fighter.
All this to say that the only way to combat atrophy, whether it's the inevitable kind that comes with getting older or the preventable kind that comes with not using something, is by staying active and engaged. As it stands at the present, it seems clear from the outside looking in that one fighter, Pacquiao, has done all he can do to be at his very best on Saturday night in Las Vegas, while the other, Thurman, has needlessly rolled the dice.
Use it or lose it. That's what people say, but only when they're still young enough to pick up their keys.
Matt Andrzejewski
THREE PUNCH COMBO — Boxing on ESPN+ returns this Friday with a card from the MGM National Harbor in Oxon Hill, MD headlined by the fast-rising lightweight sensation Teofimo Lopez (13-0, 11 KO's). Lopez will be facing the undefeated Masayoshi Nakatani (18-0, 12 KO's) of Japan in a final IBF eliminator to become the mandatory challenger for champion Richard Commey (29-2, 26 KO's). While Lopez is a known commodity to most boxing fans, the same cannot be said of Nakatani. So just who is this unheralded fighter from Japan and does he pose any threat to Lopez?
Nakatani, 30, turned pro in 2011 after an amateur career that by most accounts consisted of somewhere between 50 and 60 bouts. As a pro, he has never fought more than three times a year and never outside of Japan, but by managing to stay undefeated he has crept into the Top 15 rankings of three of the four major sanctioning bodies in the lightweight division.
Looking closer Nakatani's resume, the overall level of his competition is highly questionable. Probably his best win was in his eighth pro fight when he won a 12-round unanimous decision against Ricky Sismundo. Sismundo has sprung some surprises in the past and as a matter of fact gave undefeated rising contender Maxim Dadashev a scare earlier this year, but this is the same Ricky Sismundo who was defeated by Ruslan Madiyev last week in California, bringing his record to 35-14-3.
Other than Sismundo, the names on Nakatani's resume are hardly recognizable.
Nakatani, an orthodox fighter, is tall for the lightweight division standing nearly six feet in height. As such, he likes to work behind the left jab. However, that jab is not very sharp or powerful, but used as more of a range finder and to set up his right hand. Sometimes he will follow the right with a left hook but his primary offense is the left jab followed by the right.
Nakatani is not that athletic or quick inside the ring. His hand speed is below average for the division. He is also not a powerful or heavy handed puncher. The knockouts are more from his level of competition than anything else.
Here are a few other notes on Nakatani based on my observations: He does not like to fight on the inside and will initiate clinches when his opponent closes the distance. And he has a habit of trying to avoid punches with his legs, often times pulling straight back with his hands down. He has gotten clipped quite a few times but fortunately for him those fighters that have done so have not possessed big punching power.
I actually do think Nakatani is the strongest opponent for Lopez to date. That being said, however, I do not think he will give Lopez much trouble. Teofimo may get frustrated some by Nakatani's constant clinching on the inside, and he may get hit with a few range finding jabs, but expect another Lopez knockout here sometime in the first half of the fight.
Under The Radar Fight
The attention of the boxing world this week is going to be focused on the big welterweight pay-per-view title fight between Manny Pacquiao (61-7-2, 39 KO's) and Keith Thurman (29-0, 22 KO's). Also on the show is an intriguing heavyweight fight that is falling deep under the radar between a pair of 2016 Olympians in Efe Ajagba (10-0, 9 KO's) and Ali Eren Demirezen (11-0, 10 KO's).
Ajagba, 25, represented his native country of Nigeria in the Super Heavyweight division of the 2016 Olympics where he lost to Ivan Dychko in the quarterfinals. Since turning pro, he has really turned heads, building a reputation as a fearsome puncher.
Ajagba is a big imposing heavyweight. He stands 6'5" tall and possesses a massive 85-inch reach. Best described as an aggressive boxer puncher, he will press the action, often times behind a very stiff and powerful left jab from the orthodox stance. Very athletic for a man his size, he possesses above average hand speed for the heavyweight division. His best trait is his power; he possesses legitimate one punch knockout power in both fists. The natural tools are all there for Ajagba to potentially one day be a dominant force in the division.
But there are things Ajagba needs to work on, namely his defense. Right now, he lacks any sort of head movement and often poses in front of his opponents after punching them to admire his work. He hasn't paid yet for his lack of attention to defense but that may change as his competition rises.
Demirezen, 29, represented Turkey in the Super Heavyweight division of the 2016 Olympics where he lost to Filip Hrgovic in his opening fight. Since turning pro he hasn't had much fanfare, but has amassed quite an impressive early pro record while fighting mostly in Germany.
Though he may not have the imposing physique of Ajagba, Demirezen possesses some solid skills as well as some surprising athleticism. As a matter of fact, I'd go so far as to call him a poor man's version of Andy Ruiz Jr.
Demirezen will look to apply pressure behind the left jab and work combinations with his quick hands behind that jab. He does not really possess one-punch power but is heavy handed and his punches can take a cumulative effect on his opponents. His best punch is a quick left hook to the body that he often lands with precision.
If physiques won a boxing match, this would be no contest. But as we saw with Joshua-Ruiz, physiques don't always win. Ajagba will be favored and rightfully so, but Demirezen can fight. This is an interesting fight between two undefeated heavyweight prospects who were recent Olympians and one that I am very much looking forward to on Saturday.
Prospect Watch – Luis Arcon
There is a lot that gets me excited about the future of the sport. Not only is the sport being broadcast like it never has before but we have many good prospects who are beaming with talent. So many good prospects, as a matter of fact, that some very talented young fighters are falling a bit under the radar. One such fighter is junior welterweight Luis Arcon who moved to 8-0 with 8 knockouts this past Friday with a third-round knockout of Mario Lozano.
Like many of today's top prospects, Arcon has a strong amateur pedigree. His amateur background includes representing his native country of Venezuela in the 2016 Olympics.
Arcon, 27, turned pro in March of 2018 in Mexico. So far he has breezed through his competition though it must be noted that he hasn't faced the toughest of challenges. But he has looked very good so far in his early pro career and has been flashing some incredible talent.
Fighting from the orthodox stance, Arcon likes to work behind a well-timed and very powerful left jab. His footwork is excellent and he often positions himself at the right angles to land combinations behind that jab. He possesses very fast hands and can often fire off a volley of power shots before his opponent can react.
And then there is the power. Perhaps this is what stands out most when watching Arcon on video. Granted, as noted earlier, the competition has not been the stiffest, but he has displayed devastating knockout power in both fists. His best punch is the left hook to the body which often has a paralyzing effect on his opposition.
With his amateur background, Arcon is ready to take the next step in his career. His game is polished and he possesses massive power in both of his hands. He belongs on all top prospect lists and has a bright future in this sport.
Tributes are pouring in for Pernell "Sweet Pea" Whitaker who was killed last night (Sunday, July14) after being struck by a car while walking across a busy intersection in Virginia Beach, Virginia. An Olympic gold medalist who won six world titles in four weight classes, Whitaker was a defensive wizard. At his peak he was considered the best pound-for-pound boxer in the world. In 2002, The Ring magazine named him the 10th best boxer of the last 80 years.
Whitaker, who turned 55 in January, turned pro in 1984 at Madison Square Garden on a show that included five of his U.S. Olympic teammates – Evander Holyfield, Mark Breland, Meldrick Taylor, Tyrell Biggs, and Virgil Hill.
As a pro, Whitaker was managed by Main Events, a Duva family company, and did most of his training in Philadelphia under the watchful eye of George Benton. In his 17th pro fight, Pernell ventured to Paris to challenge WBC lightweight champion Jose Luis Ramirez who was 100-6 going in. Whitaker came up short on the scorecards, losing a split decision.
This ranked among the worst decisions in boxing history. Whitaker's chief second Lou Duva accused WBC president Jose Sulaiman of fixing the fight so as not to spoil an all-Mexico showdown between Ramirez and Julio Cesar Chavez.
Two fights later, Whitaker won his first title, taking the IBF lightweight belt from Greg Haugen. Pernell won all 12 rounds on two of the cards. He added the WBC belt in a rematch with Jose Luis Ramirez, winning a wide decision, and added the WBA belt with a first-round stoppage of Puerto Rico's Juan Nazario in Lake Tahoe, Nevada.
Between his first fight with Ramirez and his April 4, 1997 encounter with Oscar De La Hoya in Las Vegas, Whitaker was undefeated, a span of almost 10 years consisting of 26 fights. During this run he won world titles at 140 and 154 pounds before dropping back to welterweight for four successful title defenses.
There was one "blemish" late in this 26-fight run, a draw at the San Antonio Alamodome with Julio Cesar Chavez. This was also controversial. The post-fight report by William Nack was the cover story in Sports Illustrated. The headline was "Robbed!"
Sweet Pea lost a unanimous decision to De La Hoya that most ringsiders thought was a lot closer than what was reflected by the scorecards (DLH won by margins of 4, 6, and 6 points). A poll of 26 ringside reporters by the Las Vegas Review Journal revealed that 14 scored it for Whitaker with one having it a draw.
Six months after his bout with De La Hoya, Whitaker opposed Andrey Pestryaev at Foxwood's Resort in Connecticut. He won a unanimous decision but wasn't himself. A post-fight urine test revealed the presence of cocaine. That dictated a six-month suspension during which he failed a random drug test. He wouldn't step back into the ring until Feb. 20, 1999, when he opposed IBF welterweight champion Felix Trinidad at Madison Square Garden.
This would the first fight in Whitaker's remarkable career that he lost without controversy. Trinidad broke Pernell's jaw during the bout and retained his title with a clear-cut unanimous decision.
Whitaker retired, but launched a comeback 26 months later with a fight in Lake Tahoe against Mexican journeyman Carlos Bojorquez. In this fight, Whitaker suffered a fractured clavicle in the second round. He soldiered on, but 27 seconds into the fourth, seeing that Whitaker was a one-armed fighter in considerable pain, referee Joe Cortez pulled the plug. This would be the final fight of his career. He left with a record of 40-4-1 and 1 "NC" (the Pestryaev contest).
Less than 48 hours later, back home in Norfolk, Virginia, Whitaker was rushed to the hospital with an apparent overdose. His girlfriend called 911 after finding him having a seizure on the floor of the bathroom, his body covered in sweat.
Sweet Pea, who worked as a boxing and personal trainer in retirement, appeared to have it all together back in June of 2007 when he was formally inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame. His emotional speech was the highlight of the induction ceremony. But in 2014 he was back in the news again when he was forced to evict his 73-year-old mother from the home she had occupied for 30 years. He said that he could no longer afford to maintain the home which he had always kept in his name. The United Press wire story said that Whitaker had squandered millions on drugs and legal expenses.
The man that struck Whitaker with his vehicle remained on the scene. Preliminary reports indicate that the driver was not impaired in any way. We here at The Sweet Science extend our condolences to Whitaker's family and loved ones.

Sweet, silky, and absolutely delicious, the breading-free version of eggplant parm that's made in Italy is well worth trying, especially in late summer, when eggplant and tomatoes are at their best. This version has no Parmigiano-Reggiano, and an incredibly clean, fresh flavor as a result, but feel free to add a dusting of freshly grated cheese to each layer if you prefer.
This Italian-style version is breading-free, making it even easier to prepare than the Italian-American version.
A 10-minute rest after baking allows the eggplant to absorb any extra liquid and become incredibly moist and tender.
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Fill a large cast iron skillet with 1/2 inch oil and heat over high heat until shimmering. Working in batches, fry eggplant slices, turning, until browned on both sides, about 5 minutes. Transfer fried eggplant to a paper towel–lined half sheet pan and sprinkle with salt. Repeat with remaining eggplant, topping up oil as needed.
In a 6-cup baking dish, arrange a layer of eggplant slices. Top with a thin layer of tomato sauce, followed by shredded mozzarella and oregano leaves. Continue layering eggplant, sauce, cheese, and herbs to fill baking dish. Do not add oregano to the top layer.
Bake eggplant Parmesan until bubbling and browned on top, about 20 minutes. Let stand for 10 minutes to reabsorb juices. Sprinkle with oregano leaves and serve.
The tomato sauce here can be as simple as puréed canned tomatoes with a touch of olive oil and salt, or a more involved sauce, such as this one made from fresh tomatoes. It should be seasoned with salt in all cases.

Talking Frankly: Is your bus full?
I was on the periphery of a conversation on the weekend about the expression 'my bus is full'. It's an expression which suggests that you've got enough friends and don't need anymore. Some also see it as saying that it's not just friends, but commitments overall.
I've had discussions in the past with people about this. Somebody once said to me "I'm not like you Al, I don't want to talk to strangers, I have enough friends."
It's a comment I've pondered at various times over the years, when thinking about the peculiar beast which is friendship and the various joys and frustrations associated with any people based relationship. How the hell do you define "enough friends"? And how can you say that absolutely when you're only in your early 30s?
See, it's not that I "want" to speak to strangers per se. But some of the most interesting things I know, and some of the most entertaining random experiences I have had, come from encounters with people that I would never have met if I "didn't have room on my bus".
To me claiming your bus is full is an open declaration that you've learnt all you need to learn and that life would be best if it never ever changed.
And that makes me feel claustrophobic in the extreme.
People are absolutely the most brilliant thing about being alive.
There are people on my bus that invariably going to get off. Some I will ask to leave, some will jump off without paying and others will get off because they got to where they are going. Some might decide they don't like the way I drive. Some people never even got on my bus, or anybody's bus, and learn nothing more than can be gleaned from the bus stop closest to their home.
But there are people on my bus like the chap on the Perth train last month. They get up and dance. They start sing-alongs even though they can't sing. They scratch their name into the back windows so that their mark is permanent no matter whether they stay the entire journey. These people are the passengers which others often remark on and always remember - even if not entirely for the right reasons.
There are those on my bus who will get off and push if we break down. There are those that sit quietly reading in the front of the bus. They sit alongside those that sit at the front purely so they can watch what is going on and keep up a running commentary about the rest of the passengers.
There are those sitting half way along that are doing their own thing but remember to catch my eye in the rear view mirror and give me a broad smile and a thumbs up whenever they get a chance. There are those laughing and laughing and laughing and while I never have a clue what is going on, they bring a lot of joy to the journey.
There are those that have jumped on along the way that have added value to the bus trip in so many immeasurable ways I wonder how the journey began without them. There are those that got on, got off, got on, got off and are back on again and that is perfectly okay. Not everybody likes to travel the same way and those breaks are good for everybody.
There are those that get on the bus accidentally and you wonder what a trip without them would look like and you hope you never have to find out. There are those you make a detour for so that even though they are not going to be regular passengers, you've helped them find the bus that is right for them and it's always great to wave at them as you pass by.
There are those that ride for free and those that buy life time passes. There are those that drive you to exasperation by sneaking in the back door even though you swore they couldn't come on the bus and yet somehow, they journey would have kind of sucked without them.
There are those that stick their head out the roof and scream for the sheer hell of it and their infectious crazy antics make you wish you had the courage to live with such wild, joyful abandon even though you know that you will probably have to visit them in hospital when they hit their head on an overhead traffic light. There are those that remember to fill their water bottles before they get on the bus and know CPR and don't mind speaking to the nutters in the third row and there is never a time on your journey where you are not grateful for their kindness and good sense.
Some bring more baggage then fits in the lockers, and others have a small bag that would make Mary Poppins envious. There are those that you know will still be there when you pull into the bus station at the end no matter how long the journey or how obscure the end destination or how crowded the bus may be.
So is my bus full? No.
There are times when it's pretty close to capacity because the terrain is a bit crazy and you have to be careful to make sure the bus doesn't tip, but when it comes down to it - it's the passengers on the bus or waiting at the next stop that look out for you, get out and push if you get stuck and stick their hands in the air and yell 'Wheeeeeeee' when it's downhill and obstacle free.
Maybe I'm just somebody that has been blessed with a bendy bus or a double decker bus or maybe it's just that until I reach the final destination, the bus is has got to keep moving. And I have no desire to be on that bus alone because the journey would be dull, deathly dull.
So I choose to love the passengers I have, wish the ones that get off all the best and always, always be ready to let on new passengers. Sure it might get squishy sometimes but I bet you anything I never have to sing "The wheels on the bus" alone.

After Canada, Walmart Now Looks To Sell Myntra Brands In US

After expanding to Canada, Flipkart-owned fashion etailer Myntra is now planning to sell its in-house brands across US Walmart stores. This development follows the online launch of the Myntra brands on Walmart Canada.
Citing JP Suarez, executive vice president and chief administration officer of Walmart International, a Livemint report said that the company is also considering launching Myntra brands in Canadian Walmart stores in Q3. The company is exploring trade lanes with Myntra products.
In October 2018, it was reported that Myntra began selling its women's fashion private brand named All About You endorsed by well-known Bollywood actor Deepika Padukone, at Walmart stores in Canada. With this, it was targeting the huge Indian diaspora residing in Canada.
In August last year, Walmart acquired a controlling stake of 77% in Flipkart for $16 Bn. After the shocking exit of Flipkart cofounder Binny Bansal, the US-based retail giant increased its stake in the ecommerce unicorn to 81.3% in November 2018.
Myntra's Changing Business Plans
Myntra has been stepping up its efforts to strengthen its footprint in the country. For this, the company has been undergoing massive changes.
In January, Myntra CEO Ananth Narayanan stepped down from his role to pursue external opportunities. With Narayanan's exit, Amar Nagaram has been named as Head, Myntra and Jabong, reporting to Kalyan Krishnamurthy, CEO of Flipkart Group. Recently, Nagaram also announced that nearly 120 Jabong employees moved to Myntra payroll for all practical purposes even though Jabong will continue to run its ecommerce platform separately.
In November 2018, Myntra and Jabong fully integrated their functions including technology, marketing, category, revenue, finance, and creative teams. The company had also said that, "Myntra's independence as a business will be "preserved". The Jabong brand will also be retained". Jabong was acquired by Flipkart-owned Myntra in 2016 for $70 Mn.
Most recently, Walmart international division president and CEO, Judith McKenna said that Myntra-Jabong will continue to operate independently of Flipkart, during her two-day visit in Bengaluru in May.
In January 2019, a Tofler report also claimed that Myntra witnessed an 80% drop in revenue for the year ended March 2018 as it clocked in revenue of $60.6 Mn (INR 427 Cr). Its losses for the year stood at $21.4 Mn (INR 151 Cr) while its total expenses were recorded at $131.5 Mn (INR 926 Cr).
At a time when Walmart is looking to take Flipkart subsidiary to international markets, it is also looking to strengthen its own presence in India. Krish Iyer, president, and CEO of Walmart India said that the retail giant will focus on Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities as it looks forward to opening seven new stores this year, six of which will be based in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana.
The company's next phase of expansion would see it operating in Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Maharashtra UP, Uttarakhand, Punjab and Haryana.
Its slow-burn expansion strategy is in line with its objective of deepening its presence in existing markets, while also ensuring that management's bandwidth does not get diluted by pan-India operations.
In the February-April quarter, Walmart's international sales fell by 4.9%. The gross profit rate declined 172 basis points on a reported basis, primarily due to Flipkart's inclusion in this year's results, it said in the statement. However, the retail giant is still bullish on the ecommerce company. During his visit to India in April, the Walmart CEO said that the company continues to be committed to the Indian market given the huge opportunity that the country presents.

Q: Loop ends after few inputs C++ The loop is supposed to ask for the name, year and address of three persons. After the input of the third name, the execution of the program ends and I'm not able to enter the last year and address.
#include <iostream>

int main(){

    std::string Names[2]={};
    unsigned int Years[2]={};
    std::string Address[2]={};
    for(int i=0;i<=2;i++){
        std::cout<<"Enter name >> ";
        std::cin>>Names[i];
        std::cout<<"Enter year >> ";
        std::cin>>Years[i];
        std::cout<<"Enter address >> ";
        std::cin>>Address[i];
    }
    return 0;
}

A: Make the size of the array as 3, the index goes from 0-2 e.g.
std::string Names[3]={};

A: You need to declare your array with size of 3,as we know an array size like 2 have a number of address that goes from 0 to size-1.
In you case your arrays goes from 0 to 1,if you want to insert 3 people you need use 3 as size of your array in this way you have address 0,1 and 2 to use.
std::string Names[3]={};
unsigned int Years[3]={};
std::string Address[3]={};
for(int i=0;i<=2;i++){
    std::cout<<"Enter name >> ";
    std::cin>>Names[i];
    std::cout<<"Enter year >> ";
    std::cin>>Years[i];
    std::cout<<"Enter address >> ";
    std::cin>>Address[i];
}

In this way you solve the problem

A: the problem is the array size is just 2 and you entered a value to array[3] which never exist

Bummer! Rs 3 Lakh Fine & 3 years Jail For Viewing Blocked URLs, Using Torrents in India
By Mohul Ghosh Last updated Aug 22, 2016
This is certainly one other aspect of Digital India which has created a ruckus all around as lovers of torrents and porn are scrambling to get their act together; and realize the hard truth.
As per a report by India Today, it has been revealed that Govt. of India has intensified their attack against piracy and porn in a massive way. Any internet user who opens up any blocked URL or views any torrent file can be jailed for 3 years, and/or forced to pay a fine of Rs 3 lakh.
Earlier, the only the uploaders of pirated content on websites or torrent sites were thought to be in danger of any legal prosecution; however, the latest warning is against every Internet user who dares to even open such sites and view torrent files.
Communities across the web are now buzzing with enquires as to how can an Indian internet user bypass such draconian laws, and what are the tricks which can save them from a possible jail term.
Torrent users and porn lovers are rattled by this new warning from the Govt., and things are shaking up faster than we thought.
What Has Suddenly Changed?
Earlier, in case any Internet user tried to access any blocked URL or any banned torrent website, then a humble, harmless warning used to appear:
For instance, here is a warning for a blocked website bigfile.to:
However, now, this harmless warning has been converted into a direct threat from the Govt., informing the gullible user that now, he can be jailed for three years and forced to pay a fine of Rs 3 lakh.
As per the India Today report, here is the new warning:
As per the text of the warning, from now, Indian Copyright Act 1957 would be implied in such cases of violation; and specifically, Section 63, Section 63-A, Section 65 and Section 65-A would be applied against the 'culprit', which means jail and heavy fine.
The warning says: "Viewing, downloading, exhibiting or duplicating an illicit copy of the contents under this URL is punishable as an offence under the laws of India, including but not limited to under Sections 63, 63-A, 65 and 65-A of the Copyright Act, 1957 which prescribe imprisonment for 3 years and also fine of upto Rs. 3,00,000/-"
The warning can be a vague attempt to dissuade potential violators of rules, and discourage them to open any blocked URL or banned torrent site.
However, considering the fact the the warning clearly mentions the specific sections of Indian Copyright Act, 1957, law enforcement authorities have been given free hand to prosecute and arrest any violators they find.
To be extra safe, experts of the dark web are suggesting using VPNs located in foreign locations if anyone wants to access banned URLs and/or torrent websites (which are banned in India). However, we would suggest that keep off from these prohibited websites for time being.
Because the laws mentioned are ambiguous, and the threats presented are real. In case you access such sites, and then suddenly find police officers knocking at your door next morning; then there ain't much you can do.
We will keep you updated as more details come in.

I fully support the decision on Torrents, but……PORN??? You mean I now have to do without my naked chicks?? :( Have they gone mad?? Didn't we already GO through this discussion some time back….?!!!
Also, the article doesn't mention exactly WHAT is blocked…. they can't possibly go through all porn sites and block them…. If this law goes through, then they'll have to jail all of India, ROFL!! :)
Piyal says 4 years ago
There is a government site "Digital Library of India" (http://dli.serc.iisc.ernet.in). Here thousands of copyrighted books are available for free. (Some of these are in public domain but many aren't).
There is nothing new in this law. This is an old law. In 1990's when everyone started to copy audio cassettes, photocopy books, then also same law applied. The youtube is full of pirated content. Millions of sites are copying content from other sites. Only innovation can stop piracy.
I think piracy is decreasing for songs as millions of songs are available in music steaming website legally. We need new thinking to monetize content. Piracy surely decrease with the advancement of Internet speed. Where users can buy Amazon or Netflix streaming.

Tam Ochiai at Team Gallery, Inc.
Artist: Tam Ochiai
Venue: Team Gallery, Inc., New York
Exhibition Title: Everyone Has Two Places
Date: January 18 – February 15, 2015
Images courtesy of Team Gallery, Inc., New York
Team (gallery, inc.) is pleased to announce a solo show of new work by Tam Ochiai. Entitled Everyone Has Two Places, the exhibition will run from 18 January through 15 February 2015. Team is located at 47 Wooster Street, between Grand and Broome. Concurrently, our 83 Grand Street space will house Flats, a group show featuring work by Steven Baldi, Carina Brandes, Bruce Conner, Robert Cumming, Brice Dellsperger, Evan Eisel, Melanie Gilligan, Bradley Kronz, Larry Sultan and Wolfgang Tillmans.
Tam Ochiai will present a group of paintings that contend with the idea of travel in both its literal and metaphorical configuration. Entitled Everyone Has Two Places, the works in this series employ a premise that initially seems suspiciously oblique: the names of two cities painted on formally divergent canvases. Our understanding of each painting is alternately affirmed or radically altered by the individual parenthetical titles that accompany them, some of which include the names of dead writers, artists, actors and musicians both historical – as in T.S. Eliot (London, St. Louis) – and fictitious – Humbert Humbert (Paris, Parkington). Further investigation reveals that some of these paintings contain the birth and death cities of their subjects, bookends that not only chart the movement of the body but likewise bracket the volume of a life's work. Others are more mysterious in their text-sources, often taking their two locations from details of Ochiai's own life – such as the start and endpoints of a transnational train trip. By proposing that the movement between two places can function as index – both geographical and temporal – these paintings trigger a steady avalanche of connotations both shared and deeply personal.
The modest scale of these skeletal biographies speak directly to the ways in which they evoke various commonplace cultural ephemera, such as novels, album covers, maps, notebooks and magazines. Though stylistically fluid and moving freely between references to art-historical movements, graphic design and drawing, the works are unified by their commitment to the relationship between literal and metaphysical mark-making. Ochiai's gestures, be they engraved on a thick bed of impasto oil or applied directly to a bare canvas, act as physical manifestations of his concern for the traces we leave.
Ochiai's work is frequently oriented around the concept that we maintain the capacity to find traces of ourselves within the unfamiliar and that these traces, however faint, connect us to places that are both remote and known. In past work, Ochiai has examined this idea of the peripatetic trace in literal ways: the scratch of a cat's claw on the surface of a sculpture, a travelogue of restaurants serving ethnic cuisine in unexpected places, a group of paintings based on calendars that list national holidays. These poetic pieces use a persistent conceptual framework to examine the inexorable connection between creative output and a life lived, as well as the space that exists between an artist and his work.

Tag Archives: Taz-Mania Season 1 Volume 2
WHV Finally Gets It Right On Its Latest Peanuts DVD Release
Courtesy: Warner Brothers Home Video
Warner Home Video has struggled quite a bit in the past year or so with its home releases. The 2013 releases of Tiny Toon Adventures Volume 4, Taz-Mania: Season 2 Part 1, and Hats Off To Dr. Seuss were all troubled with their own problems. 2014 hasn't exactly been off to much of a better start thanks to the release of The Flintstone Kids: Rockin' in Bedrock. That release presented only the main Flintstone Kids shorts minus the companion Captain Caveman and Son and Dino shorts. That alone took off major points from that set. But now WHV has finally started to pick up the ball and get things back on the right track thanks to the brand new release of This is America, Charlie Brown. This brand new double-disc has officially made its own spot on this critic's list of the year's best new DVDs and Blu-rays for families and children. The primary reason for that the features included in this set are both entertaining and educational. Another reason for the set's enjoyment is the use of both hand drawn animation and historical photos to help illustrate each "lesson." The last factor to examine in what makes This is America, Charlie Brown a success is its packaging. Each of the noted factors by themselves, play important roles in the success of the set. Together, they make this brand new release one of the year's best new box sets for families and children.
The first and most important factor in the success of This is America, Charlie Brown is the combination of both entertainment and education. The eight features spread across the set's two discs educate viewers in such fashion that it doesn't even feel like viewers are being taught. Thanks to the legacy of the Peanuts gang, it feels more like viewers are going on a fun field trip through America's history than just learning about history from another documentary. There are even some fun little pop culture references that parents will appreciate along the way. One of those references is to the command module of the Apollo 10 being named Charlie Brown. Lucy comments on this saying that she doesn't know where such a name could have come from. The kids also see their own comic strip hanging in the Smithsonian Museum of Art. The little reference there is just as funny. On a more subtle level, audiences that know anything about animation history will appreciate Frank Welker (The Real Ghostbusters, Curious George, Garfield & Friends) as the voice of a number of characters here including Wilbur Wright in "The Wright Brothers at Kitty Hawk." Gregg Berger (Garfield & Friends, Aahhh!!! Real Monsters, G.I. Joe) joins Welker as the voice of Wilbur's brother Orville. This isn't the only feature to which Berger and Welker offer their talents, either. Lou Rawls joins them in "The Music and Heroes of America" and makes the journey all the more enjoyable even as being an educational journey. It serves as one more example of how the combination of education and entertainment is such an important factor in the success of this set. It isn't the only important factor to the set, either.
The combination of entertainment and education in the features that make up This Is America, Charlie Brown is a solid foundation for the mini-series in whole. Just as important to the set's success is the use of both hand drawn animation and historical photos to help illustrate and advance each story. Kids will be entertained by the hand drawn animation. And parents that grew up in the days of true animation will appreciate the original animation style of this Peanuts presentation. Those behind the mini-series balanced the animated segments with just enough historical photos to help drive home the stories in each feature. They even included some vintage video to help advance each "lesson," too. And that video is just as balanced. The resultant effect is a presentation in each feature that will keep viewers of any age fully engaged from start to finish. It's one more aspect of the whole mini-series that maintains the set's value.
The visual presentation of the mini-series' features and the ability of the features to entertain and educate without being too outright about their educational purpose are key to the success of This Is America, Charlie Brown. There is still one more factor to examine in the set in considering what makes it worth the purchase and the watch. That factor is the set's overall packaging. Both of the discs in the set are placed on their own spindle inside the case. On one level, this protects the discs from scratching one another, thus increasing their life span. On another level, it minimizes the size of the box used to contain the discs. The bigger picture of this is that it conserves space on any viewer's DVD rack. So not only is the mini-series in whole educational and entertaining, its case is ergonomic. Sure, there's little else to the set whether extrinsic or even intrinsic. It's a bare bones presentation. But these factors together make This Is America, Charlie Brown a much needed win for Warner Home Video and for fans that have waited so many years for this mini-series to get a proper release.
This Is America, Charlie Brown is available now in stores and online. It can be ordered direct online from the WB Shop at http://www.wbshop.com/product/this+is+america%2C+charlie+brown-+the+complete+series+dvd+1000411223.do.

McAnally v. State
Jerry Brad McAnally
Appeal from Shelby Circuit Court (CC-04-1257.61).
KELLUM, Judge.
Jerry Brad McAnally appeals the circuit court's summary dismissal of his petition for postconviction relief filed pursuant to Rule 32, Ala. R. Crim. P., in which he attacked his January 2006 guilty-plea conviction for criminal solicitation to commit murder and his resulting May 2006 sentence of life imprisonment. McAnally did not appeal his conviction and sentence. However, in 2007, McAnally filed a Rule 32 petition challenging his conviction and sentence. The circuit court summarily dismissed that petition, and this Court affirmed the dismissal on appeal in an unpublished memorandum issued on August 10, 2012. McAnally v. State (No. CR-10-1314), 152 So. 3d 455 (Ala.Crim.App.2012) (table).[1]
On March 12, 2018, McAnally filed this, his second, Rule 32 petition. He filed the petition pro se and argued that the trial court lacked jurisdiction to accept his guilty plea or to sentence him. McAnally subsequently retained counsel to represent him, and the circuit court granted counsel leave to file an amended petition. McAnally, through counsel, filed an amended petition on December 28, 2018,[2] in which he alleged: (1) that his guilty plea was involuntary because, he said, he had "the distinct impression" that he would receive a lesser sentence than life imprisonment (C. 89); and (2) that his trial counsel was ineffective for not moving to withdraw his guilty plea when he was sentenced to life imprisonment. McAnally also argued in the amended petition that he was entitled to equitable tolling because, he said, he had retained counsel to file his first Rule 32 petition, but counsel had failed to properly file that petition within the limitations period in Rule 32.2(c), Ala. R. Crim. P. Therefore, McAnally concluded, he should be permitted to pursue the claims in the instant petition. Without receiving a response from the State, the circuit court summarily dismissed McAnally's amended petition on February 25, 2019, without stating grounds. McAnally did not file a postjudgment motion.
McAnally first contends that the circuit court erred in summarily dismissing his petition without stating its reasons for doing so. However, "[t]he general rules of preservation apply to Rule 32 proceedings." Boyd v. State, 913 So.2d 1113, 1123 (Ala.Crim.App.2003). McAnally did not raise this issue in the circuit court; therefore, it was not properly preserved for review. See, e.g., Robinson v. State, 869 So.2d 1191, 1193 (Ala.Crim.App.2003), and Whitehead v. State, 593 So.2d 126, 130 (Ala.Crim.App.1991). Moreover, even if this issue had been properly preserved, it is meritless because "Rule 32.7 does not require the trial court to make specific findings of fact upon a summary dismissal." Fincher v. State, 724 So.2d 87, 89 (Ala.Crim.App.1998).
McAnally also reasserts on appeal the two claims from his amended petition and contends that the circuit court erred in summarily dismissing those claims. Specifically, McAnally argues that he pleaded both claims with sufficient specificity to satisfy the pleading requirements in Rule 32.3 and Rule 32.6(b), Ala. R. Crim. P., and that, for the same reasons asserted in his amended petition, he is entitled to the benefit of equitable tolling.
"A Rule 32 petitioner is entitled to an evidentiary hearing on a claim in a postconviction petition only if the claim is 'meritorious on its face.' Ex parte Boatwright, 471 So.2d 1257, 1258 (Ala. 1985). A postconviction claim is 'meritorious on its face' only if the claim (1) is sufficiently pleaded in accordance with Rule 32.3 and Rule 32.6(b); (2) is not precluded by one of the provisions in Rule 32.2; and (3) contains factual allegations that, if true, would entitle the petitioner to relief. A Rule 32 petitioner is not entitled to an evidentiary hearing on claims that are precluded by one or more of the provisions in Rule 32.2. See Sumlin v. State, 710 So.2d 941, 943 (Ala.Crim.App.1998) ('[B]ecause the issues he raised were procedurally barred, the appellant was not entitled to an evidentiary hearing on his petition.')."
Kuenzel v. State, 204 So. 3d 910, 914 (Ala.Crim.App.2015). Moreover, although the doctrine of equitable tolling, if applicable, operates to toll the limitations period in Rule 32.2(c), Ala. R. Crim. P., it is not applicable to any of the other preclusions in Rule 32.2, Ala. R. Crim. P. See State v. Baker, 172 So. 3d 860, 866 (Ala.Crim.App.2015).
Assuming, without deciding, that McAnally's claims were sufficiently pleaded and that he is entitled to the benefit of equitable tolling,[3] we nonetheless conclude that he is entitled to no relief because this is McAnally's second petition and it is, by definition, a successive petition, see Rule 32.2(b), Ala. R. Crim. P.; therefore, his claims are subject to the preclusions in Rule 32.2(a)(4), Rule 32.2(b), and Rule 32.2(d), Ala. R. Crim. P.
Initially, we recognize that in Ex parte Clemons, 55 So. 3d');">55 So. 3d 348');">55 So. 3d');">55 So. 3d 348 (Ala. 2007), the Alabama Supreme Court held that the preclusions in Rule 32.2 are waivable affirmative defenses and that an appellate court may not sua sponte apply the preclusions on appeal except in extraordinary circumstances. We likewise recognize that the State did not file a response to McAnally's petition raising any of the preclusions in Rule 32.2, even though it had the opportunity to do so, and the circuit court stated no grounds for its summary dismissal of McAnally's petition. However, under the circumstances in this case, we may apply the preclusions in Rule 32.2(a)(4), Rule 32.2(b), and Rule 32.2(d) to McAnally's claims.
         First, this Court has recognized that Ex parte Clemons was "grounded in due-process principles" of "be[ing] given notice of [any] preclusion ground." A.G. v. State, 989 So.2d 1167, ...

correct_answer = request.form.get('choice_good')
nb_question = int(request.form.get('nb_question')

I have a result for "correct_answer" and "nb_question" but given_answerA is not existing, I tried to print request.form to see the content and I only see the values of choice_good and nb_question.
I tried to rename all my button with same name, changing to "button type=submit" "input type=submit" but seems that none of them works ..
Any ideas ? Thanks !
EDIT : It seems that the JS function (that I forgot to include is the problem) here it is :
function validateAnswer() {
    var answered = document.activeElement.id;
    var audio = document.getElementById("audio_validate");
    var form = document.getElementById("question_form");
    var background_audio = document.getElementById("background_audio");
    var body = document.getElementsByTagName('body')[0];
    var filename = 'static/images/background_' + answered + ".jpg";
    body.style.backgroundImage = 'url('+filename+')';
    background_audio.pause();
    audio.play();
    setTimeout(function(){
        form.submit();
    }, 20000);
        return false;

If I keep return false, the buttons are empty (so I think it submit with JS without knowing that the button was clicked)
If i keep return true, the timeout is not executed and also no music is paused and play but the post value are sent; I need this "20" sec delay to play the music correctly and to make suspens as it is a who wants to be a millionaire game

A: Your JS function intercepts the submit event (which contains data on which of the buttons was clicked) and calls form.submit manually, that's why the button value doesn't get sent.
A simple way to fix this would be to add another hidden field which you would set to the value of the button that was pressed from your JS function.


A few months ago I had the pleasure of meeting the filmmaker Nitin Das. Nitin is the creator of the Healing Forest, a site dedicated to helping people connect with nature and lead calmer, healthier lives.
Nitin was traveling through the U.S. to meet and interview people who were also interested in nature practices. Nitin and I met up in New York City to discuss the challenges and benefits of connecting to nature in urban spaces. I described my view that many New Yorkers believe that nature isn't here or that it doesn't "count." We had conversations about our shared interest in shinrin-yoku (the Japanese art of "forest bathing") and how these ideas might interest pragmatic city-dwellers.
How do you feel after this nature break? Do you feel calmer or more focused? Do you feel differently? Let me know how it goes.
This is great! I was going to tell you about "forest bathing", but then I read on, and saw you already knew your stuff. I'll try your experiment for sure and keep you posted!
MK, I look forward to hearing how the experiment goes. I'm going to write more about forest bathing soon and would love to get your thoughts!
Thank you Sara, it is a wonderful video, thought I would share it when I read this post from SNFC.
Thanks, Sunith, for sharing this post on your wonderful site.
Your site was a wonderful find and Nitin Das's videos on nature. Glad to have found you both.

Coming soon: a vaccine against UV? | Spa Inc.
Coming soon: a vaccine against UV?
Sunlight is known to activate biological processes in our skin that are important for our health, such as the synthesis of vitamin D. But while light is necessary for our equilibrium, over-intense UV radiation exposure leads to premature aging of the skin, also called photoaging and photo-induced aging.
Photoaging is a premature aging of the skin caused by repeated exposure to ultraviolet (UV) rays from sunlight or artificial sources. "Photo" comes from the Greek word phos, meaning "light." We are therefore talking about skin aging caused by light. Photoaging is different from chronological aging as the damaging effects of UV rays—or artificial sources of tanning—alter the normal structures of the skin.
Sunlight not only induces the formation of free radicals, but also DNA breakdown and an inflammatory response. We know now that it has a negative impact on cell proteins, which are essential for youthful skin.
The signs of photoaging appear on the most exposed areas of the body, in particular the face, neck, and décolleté, and the back of the hands. But it can also occur on other areas that are exposed on a regular basis, such as the shoulders, arms, and legs.
We are well familiar with various strategies aiming, to some extent, to correct the visible signs of UV-induced aging. In recent months, driven by increasing demand driven by performance and visible results, two major findings emerged.
Based on biotechnological research, the piceid glucoside, or resveratrol diglucoside, is obtained from the Piceid by a conversion process called green chemistry. This type of process uses enzymes to perform the transformation of a molecule rather than solvents or toxic substances. There is no adverse effects on the environment or human health. The Piceid, meanwhile, is found in its natural form in wine or in the bark of Sitka spruce, a highly common species of conifer in Canada, particularly in British Columbia.
The Piceid glucoside activates natural skin defences against UV rays at the cellular and molecular levels. Its mode of action is comparable to a vaccine. Basically, it submits the cells to micro-stimuli that increases their resistance to future stresses and augments their life expectancy. This has the effect of activating and strengthening the skin's natural defense system against UV rays, not only at the cellular level but also at the molecular level.
The skin's natural defense system, pre-activated, is ready to intervene at any time in an optimal way at the first stimulation, to prevent damage caused by UV rays. Forming a natural shield against UVA and UVB, it guarantees two levels of protection at the cellular level (keratinocytes, fibroblasts) and molecular level (DNA and proteins).
With its novel mode of action, the Piceid glucoside, also known as the Uvaxine® allows us to enjoy the benefits of light while fighting against premature aging.
Since the 1930s' discovery of ascorbic acid as an anti-scurvy factor, many researchers have worked to elucidate how it works. Today, many clinical studies have shown the topical application of vitamin C leading to significant improvement of the appearance of signs of photo-induced aging. Its reputation as a cosmeceutical ingredient is well established.
However, ascorbic acid or pure vitamin C, used directly in a skincare product, is extremely sensitive to air, light, and water: it oxidizes very quickly and loses all effectiveness while becoming irritating. In addition, to formulate the optimal concentrations for cosmetology, the pH of the resulting aqueous solutions is very acidic, around 2 or 3 and sometimes even below, also leading to irritant reactions.
There are other molecules derived from vitamin C such as ascorbyl phosphate of magnesium, ascorbyl-glucoside, or ascorbyl palmitate, which are more stable forms than vitamin C itself but whose activity and/or skin penetration are well below those of ethyl ascorbic acid.
Pure ethyl ascorbic acid is now the most stable and most effective vitamin C on the market. Extremely stable chemically, colourless, and perfectly soluble in aqueous solution, it has excellent dermal bioavailability making it much more effective than pure vitamin C.
Ethyl ascorbic acid corrects existing damage by stimulating the synthesis of skin fibers and essential proteins for youthful skin while controlling pigmentation. Lines and wrinkles are significantly reduced, the skin texture is smoothed, the skin regains tone and firmness, and radiance is reactivated. In addition, powerful as an antioxidant, ethyl ascorbic acid neutralizes free radicals, preventing skin aging.
In conclusion, by combining ethyl ascorbic acid and Piceid glucoside in a single formula, it is now possible to advance a strategy that is totally innovative, comprehensive, and high-performance, aiming both to correct and prevent damage caused by the sun. This revolutionary antioxidant combination, that works in such a way that can be compared to that of a "topical" vaccine, provides unsurpassed protection against photoaging by diffusing not only free radicals but also the range of other reagent molecules known to cause damage to all cell components and DNA mutations. It also fixes the existing premature damage by stimulating the synthesis of fibers and essential proteins for youthful skin and reactivates the brightness by regulating pigmentation.

Dec 10: Masterpiece Cakeshop case begins, and more
The Supreme Court heard oral arguments in the Masterpiece Cakeshop case this week. Baker Jack Phillips says his rights to freedom of religion and speech were violated by a Colorado law preventing discrimination by retailers. Phillips declined to bake a custom cake for a same-sex wedding.
Key questions included what counts as an artist and artistic expression that should be protected, and what types of activities a religious person can avoid in business. Justice Anthony Kennedy is widely speculated to be the swing vote that will decide the case.
A federal district court ruled that a prisoner's humanist belief system does not qualify as a religion.
A federal judge upheld the Washington DC metro system's decision to refuse Christmas ads from the local Catholic archdiocese. The metro system claims it is following an impartial policy, while the archdiocese says the decision is discriminatory.
The Supreme Court allowed the Trump travel ban to be implemented in its latest form. The ACLU said they still consider it a Muslim ban and are committed to fighting it in court.
After the Trump administration shrunk the Bears Ears National Monument in Utah, a coalition of five native tribes filed suit. The tribes argue that the land is sacred and the Trump does not have the authority to remove the monument designation.
A Colorado County ended a school voucher program to end legal battles that have stretched on for years. The issue was the use of public money to pay tuition at private, religious schools.
NCAA Magazine ran an in-depth article about the Coalition on Common Ground, an organization that brings LGBTQ activists and religious leaders together to talk about how to respect students of faith and LGBTQ students at public and private universities.
The Atlantic profiled Mike Pence's political career, focusing on his faith and how his challenges and successes have mirrored those of the religious right as a whole. It makes a fascinating lens through which to view the Trump-evangelical political alliance.
Vice investigated the use of religious exemptions as a loophole by organizations running abusive reform schools without oversight.

Jul 2: Supreme Court rules churches are eligible for government funds, agrees to hear case of cake for gay wedding
The Supreme Court ruled in favor of Trinity Lutheran Church in a case over a church's eligibility for grants from the state for secular purposes. The issue at hand was a state grant to resurface playgrounds. The case could have significant implications for other instances of government funds ending up with religious organizations.
The Supreme Court vacated rulings of lower courts in New Mexico and Colorado on the provision of public vouchers and textbook lending to religious schools. The cases were sent back to the lower courts.
The Supreme Court agreed to hear the case of a Denver baker who refused to sell a wedding cake to a gay couple.
The Supreme Court significantly narrowed the injunctions on Donald Trump's travel ban, allowing the executive order to block the entry of foreigners from the six listed countries who have no "bona fide" relationship with persons in the US. It also agreed to hear the challenges to the ban, accepting appeals from the 5th and 9th Circuit Courts.
A new Justice Department report found that only 54% of hate crimes from 2011-2015 were reported.
A Ten Commandments monument was installed at the Arkansas State Capitol. The ACLU announced plans to sue for its removal. The monument was destroyed by a vandal less than 24 hours after installation.
The Georgia Supreme Court ruled that the state constitution is not violated when donors get tax credit for donating money that ends up at religious schools. Under Georgia law, taxpayers who owe taxes can get credit for paying what they owe by instead donating to nonprofit organizations that provide scholarships to students. Some of those students attend religious schools.
A Florida court held that religious schools can require all students to be immunized, even if they have religious objections.
Jewish marchers were asked to leave a parade the day before Pride Day in Chicago because they carried "Jewish Pride" flags, which incorporated the Star of David. The organizers interpreted the flags as symbols of Palestinian oppression.
A new survey was released on the tension between religious freedom and sexual freedom, and which Americans think should be preferred. 48% said religious freedom is more important, while 24% said sexual freedom is. 20% said that religious believers are motivated by hate in disputes over sexuality.

Kids4Fun August 27, 2019	Biographies for Kids Leave a comment 1,614 Views
Birth Name: P. V. Sindhu (Pusarla Venkata Sindhu)
Born: 5 July 1995, Hyderabad, Telangana, India
Height & Weight: 1.79 m (5 ft 10 in) / 60 kg (132 lb)
Sports Category: Right Handed Women's Badminton Player
Coach: Pullela Gopichand
P. V. Sindhu – an Indian professional badminton player. She is the first Indian to win the BWF World Championships. She is also one of the two Indian badminton players to ever win an Olympic medal – the other being Saina Nehwal.
P. V. Sindhu won silver medal in women's singles at 2018 Commonwealth Games as well as 2018 Asian Games. She was also a silver medalist at the 2017 and the 2018 edition of BWF World Championships. In 2018, she became the first Indian to win the BWF World Tour Finals after defeating Japan's Nozomi Okuhara in the final.
P. V. Sindhu came to international attention when she broke into the top 20 of the BWF World Ranking in September 2012 at the age of 17. In 2013, she became the first ever Indian women's singles player to win a medal at the Badminton World Championships. In March 2015, she is the recipient of India's fourth highest civilian honor, the Padma Shri. Her silver medal win in the women's singles event of the 2016 Summer Olympics made her the first Indian shuttler to reach the final of an Olympics badminton event and the youngest Indian to make a podium finish in an individual event at the Olympics. She is among the top five shuttlers in women's singles category.
With an earnings of $8.5 million, Sindhu was ranked seventh in Forbes' list of "Highest-Paid Female Athletes 2018" based on earnings from prize money and endorsements between June 2017 to June 2018.
In 2019, she became the second woman after Zhang Ning to win five medals at the world championships. With earnings of $5.5 million, Sindhu was ranked thirteenth in Forbes' list of "Highest-Paid Female Athletes 2019" based on earnings from prize money and endorsements between June 2018 to June 2019.
Early life and training:
P. V. Sindhu was born in Hyderabad to P. V. Ramana and P. Vijaya. Both her parents have been national level volleyball players. Her father, Ramana, who was a member of the Indian volleyball team that won the bronze medal in 1986 Seoul Asian Games, received the Arjuna Award in 2000 for his contribution to the sports. She has an elder sister, P. V. Divya, who was a national-level handball player. However, she was not interested in pursuing professional sports and became a doctor.
P. V. Sindhu lives in Hyderabad. Though her parents played professional volleyball, Sindhu choose badminton over it because she drew inspiration from the success of Pullela Gopichand, the 2001 All England Open Badminton Champion. She eventually started playing badminton from the age of eight. Sindhu first learned the basics of the sport with the guidance of Mehboob Ali at the badminton courts of Indian Railway Institute of Signal Engineering and Telecommunications in Secunderabad. Soon after, she joined Pullela Gopichand's Gopichand Badminton Academy. While profiling Sindhu's career, a correspondent with The Hindu wrote:
The fact that she reports on time at the coaching camps daily, travelling a distance of 56 km from her residence, is perhaps a reflection of her willingness to complete her desire to be a good badminton player with the required hard work and commitment.
Gopichand seconded this correspondent's opinion when he said that
The most striking feature in Sindhu's game is her attitude and the never-say-die spirit.
After joining Gopichand's badminton academy, Sindhu won several titles. In the under-10 years category, she won the 5th Servo All India ranking championship in the doubles category and the singles title at the Ambuja Cement All India ranking. In the under-13 years category, Sindhu won the singles title at the Sub-juniors in Pondicherry, doubles titles at the Krishna Khaitan All India Tournament, IOC All India Ranking, the Sub-Junior Nationals and the All India Ranking in Pune. She also won the under-14 team gold medal at the 51st National State Games in India.

Q: In Word, how can I alter mail merge data programmatically with VBA? I have a Word document that is used as the source document for a mail merge.  I can edit the document, but not the data being used for the merge.  I need to transform some of the data in the data source (specifically, I need to take numbers (e.g. 342) and add their value in words (e.g. "three hundred forty-two (342)")).  I can write a VBA function to do the transformation, but I'm not sure how best to get the data to that function.
Is there some way I can associate a macro with specific points in the document and let the merging drive the transformation process?  (I'm thinking of how you can use formulas in Word fields; I have a few things of the form { IF { MERGEFIELD foo } > 75 { MERGEFIELD foo } { = { MERGEFIELD foo } * 20 } } in the document already.  If I could add something so I could go { FUNCTION WordNum { MERGEFIELD number } }, that would be ideal.)
Alternately, I think I can use VBA to rummage around in the mail merge's datasource (specifically document.MailMerge.DataSource) and rewrite fields.  If I go that route, where should I execute the macro so that it will get to the data after it's been read from the data source, but before it's been merged with the document?

A: Could you do the data transformation in Microsoft Query? That is, where you currently have:
Data Source -> Mail Merge Template

create a Microsoft Query that sits between your data source and Word:
Data Source -> Microsoft Query -> Mail Merge Template

It's been a while since I used Mail Merge in Word but I don't remember being able to exert much control over it...

A: There does not appear to be a way to call arbitrary functions from embedded Word macros, so I went the VBA route.
I added an AutoOpen macro to the source document that called MailMerge.EditDataSource and then walked through the table to make its changes.

Establishment of maturity-onset diabetes of the young-induced pluripotent stem cells from a Japanese patient.
In the course of differentiation from MODY5-iPS cells into pancreatic β-cells, we examined the disease gene, HNF1B messenger ribonucleic acid.
The art of magnesium transport.
Indeed, patients with PCBD1 mutations were shown to suffer hypomagnesemia and MODY5-like diabetes.
HNF1B-associated clinical phenotypes: the kidney and beyond.
HNF1B was first identified as a disease gene for diabetes (MODY5) in 1997, and its involvement in renal disease was subsequently noted through clinical observations in pedigrees affected by MODY5.
Hnf1b controls pancreas morphogenesis and the generation of Ngn3+ endocrine progenitors.
Heterozygous mutations in the human HNF1B gene are associated with maturity-onset diabetes of the young type 5 (MODY5) and pancreas hypoplasia.
Identification and Functional Characterization of P159L Mutation in HNF1B in a Family with Maturity-Onset Diabetes of the Young 5 (MODY5).
Mutation in HNF1B, the hepatocyte nuclear factor-1β (HNF-1β) gene, results in maturity-onset diabetes of the young (MODY) 5, which is characterized by gradual impairment of insulin secretion.
A review on hepatocyte nuclear factor-1beta and tumor.
Mutations in the HNF1β gene cause maturity-onset diabetes of the young type 5 (MODY5), renal cysts, genital malformations, and pancreas atrophy.
The Association of Type 2 Diabetes Loci Identified in Genome-Wide Association Studies with Metabolic Syndrome and Its Components in a Chinese Population with Type 2 Diabetes.
Genetic variants of WFS1, CDKAL1, CDKN2BAS, TCF7L2, HHEX, KCNQ1, TSPAN8/LGR5, FTO, and TCF2 were associated with the risk for T2D with MetS, as well as the risk for development of T2D with at least one of the MetS components (P < 0.05).
HNF1B polymorphism influences the prognosis of endometrial cancer patients: a cohort study.
BACKGROUND: HNF1B (formerly known as TCF2) gene encodes for a transcription factor that regulates gene expression involved in normal mesodermal and endodermal developments.
Atypical phenotypic features among carriers of a novel Q248X nonsense mutation in the HNF1B gene.
INTRODUCTION: Hepatocyte transforming factor 1B-maturity onset diabetes mellitus of the young (HNF1B-MODY) is an autosomal dominant type of monogenic diabetes caused by a mutation in the gene encoding hepatocyte nuclear factor 1beta (HNF-1beta).
Genetic and functional analyses implicate the NUDT11, HNF1B, and SLC22A3 genes in prostate cancer pathogenesis.
Molecular mechanisms linking endometriosis under oxidative stress with ovarian tumorigenesis and therapeutic modalities.
HNF-1beta appears to play a key role in anti-oxidative defense mechanisms.
Regulation of tissue-specific expression of renal organic anion transporters by hepatocyte nuclear factor 1 α/β and DNA methylation.
role of HNF1alpha/beta in the transcriptional regulation of organic anion transporters and highlighted DNA methylation-dependent gene silencing as one of the mechanisms underlying the tissue-specific transactivation by this master regulator.
Genetic basis of prune belly syndrome: screening for HNF1β gene.
Expression of renal cystic genes in patients with HNF1B mutations.
HNF1B and endometrial cancer risk: results from the PAGE study.
HNF1B SNPs are associated with risk of endometrial cancer and the associated relative risks are similar for Type I and Type II tumors.
Systematic review of TCF2 anomalies in renal cysts and diabetes syndrome/maturity onset diabetes of the young type 5.
The detection rate of TCF2 anomalies was 9.7% and varied considerably among MODY (1.4%), renal structure anomalies (RSA) (21.4%) and RSA with MODY (41.2%) subgroups.
A mitotic transcriptional switch in polycystic kidney disease.
Hepatocyte nuclear factor-1beta (HNF-1beta) is a transcription factor required for the expression of several renal cystic genes and whose prenatal deletion leads to polycystic kidney disease (PKD).
In the combined joint analysis, we confirmed three previously reported loci (two independent SNPs at 8q24 and one in HNF1B (formerly known as TCF2 on 17q); P < 10(-10)).
Genetic control of single lumen formation in the zebrafish gut.
Data show that zebrafish mutants for Tcf2 fail to specify a single lumen in their gut tube and instead develop multiple lumens, and show that Tcf2 controls single lumen formation by regulating claudin15 and Na+/K+-ATPase expression.
Two variants on chromosome 17 confer prostate cancer risk, and the one in TCF2 protects against type 2 diabetes.
Two variants on chromosome 17q contribute to the risk of prostate cancer in 4 populations, one of the variants is in TCF2 confers protection against type 2 diabetes.
