The Calcutta Chromosome is a 1995[1] English-language novel by Indian author Amitav Ghosh. The book, for the most part set in Calcutta at some unspecified time in the future, is a medical thriller that dramatizes the adventures of apparently disconnected people who are brought together by a mysterious turn of events. The book is loosely based on the life and times of Sir Ronald Ross, the Nobel Prize–winning scientist who achieved a breakthrough in malaria research in 1898.[2][3][4][5] The novel was the recipient of the Arthur C. Clarke Award in 1997.[6]
Plot summary[edit]
The novel begins with the story of Antar, an employee of the LifeWatch organization, who recounts an encounter with L. Murugan, an employee of LifeWatch who has disappeared in Calcutta. The plot is quite complex and its timelines are deliberately mixed up. Antar starts to track Murugan's disappearance in Calcutta many years back. Murugan has asked to be transferred to Calcutta because of his fascination with the life of Sir Ronald Ross. The Calcutta of Ronald Ross is well separated in time from the Calcutta that Murugan visits, but the New York City of Antar and the Calcutta of Murugan seem to overlap in time, though it is clearly stated in the novel that they are separated by many years. Through his research into old and lost documents and phone messages, Antar determines that Murugan had systematically unearthed an underground scientific and mystical movement that could grant eternal life. Loosely described, the process of securing this form of immortality is as follows: the disciples of this movement can transfer their chromosomes into another's body, and gradually become that person or take over that person. In the novel, Ronald Ross did not discover the mysteries of the malaria parasite; it was a group of underground practitioners of a different, mystical "science," natives of India, who helped to guide Ross to the conclusions for which he is famous. These native Indians provided Ross with clues in the belief that in the moment Ross made his discovery, the parasite would change its nature. At this point, a new variant of malaria would emerge and the group's research using the chromosome-transfer technique would advance even further.
Fact and fiction in The Calcutta Chromosome[edit]
Ghosh employs a factual framework for the invented events in the novel, drawing upon Ross' Memoirs which were published in 1923.
Silence is a recurring theme in the novel, originating from the often-stated premise that to say something is to change it. Huttunen notes that the workings of the Indian scientific/mystical movement uncovered by Murugan "constitutes a counter-science to Western scientific discourse" (25). The tenets of the group contain aspects of the Hindu belief in the transmigration of souls as well as of contemporary scientific ideas about genetics and cloning (Huttunen 27). Its native Indian members operate through means kept secret from the more Westernized characters and from the reader, and their activities become progressively clearer as the novel continues until their plan is revealed to the reader. Huttunen explains that the methodology of this group is based on the ideas of Emmanuel Levinas about communication by way of silence. In Levinas' view, "the other exists outside the traditional ontology of Western philosophy which conceives of all being as objects that can be internalized by consciousness or grasped by adequate representation ... Consequently silence in this novel represents the kind of unattainable experience that transcends the level of language, or knowing" (30-31). It is this enigma that the novel leaves behind as an abiding theme. The reader is forced to keep thinking about it much after turning the last page. The mystery at the heart of the story is never completely resolved by the author, leaving much to the reader's understanding and interpretation.
- Antar - A man in the future who is about to retire. He is investigating the disappearance of Murugan.
- Murugan - He calls himself Morgan from time to time. He lives in the 1990s and is an authority on Sir Ronald Ross. Much of the novel is about his tracking the life of Ronald Ross.
- Ronald Ross - The Nobel Prize–winning scientist who found out that malaria is spread through mosquitoes. Much of his research is spoken about. He conducted his experiments on a man called 'Lutchman.' His tale is narrated by Murugan.
- Lutchman - He once lived at Renupur station. His family and whole village had been wiped out by a strange epidemic. He was later picked up by Ross for his experiments and did everything for him. He claimed he was a 'dhooley bearer' or a cleaner. Later in the novel it is revealed that his name was actually 'Laakhan' and he changed his name at every village to sound like a local.
- Mangala - Cleaning woman at Doctor Cunningham's laboratory, but that's her disguise, she is in reality a Demi God who not only discovered the means of treating syphilis with the Malaria parasite but also found a form of asexual reproduction/reincarnation for humans which kept her and Lutchman alive forever.
- Sonali - A writer for Calcutta Magazine, a journalist, and actor who, it is suggested in the novel, transforms herself with the help of Mangala's "science"
- Urmila - A journalist for the same publication as Sonali, she is the one Mangala chooses for her transformation or reincarnation.
- Romen Haldar - Lutchman in his most recent reincarnation.
The Calcutta Chromosome won the Arthur C. Clarke Award in 1997.[7]

The Benefits of an FHA Home Loan
For some buyers, an FHA loan may work when others can't.
The FHA loan program is designed to help promote homeownership. Loans distributed through this program are insured by the Federal Housing Administration. For many buyers, FHA loans make it easier to qualify for a mortgage.
When it comes to FHA Loans, here are a few of the features that can be beneficial:
- Low Down Payments – As little as 3.5% down will work in most instances, and 5% covers most others.
- Higher Loan Amounts – In some areas, FHA maximums can exceed conventional loan limits.
- Lower Total Cash to Close – Sellers can help pay closing costs, and borrowers can receive gift money toward their down payments.
- Streamlined and Cash Out Refinancing – Subsequent refinancing can be far easier and more lenient than with conventional loans.
- Purchase and Rehab Financing – The FHA 203k loan can be a great option for the purchase of homes in need of a quick spruce up or even major remodeling when you don't have sufficient funds to do it on your own.

What is a USDA Rural Home Loan?
USDA loans are a type of loan backed through the Rural Housing Division of the U.S. Dept. of Agriculture. They are available to millions of eligible primary home buyers with low to moderate incomes or scarce funds for down payments.
Features, benefits and things you need to know:
Zero Down – No down payment is required for USDA loans. Thirty-year, fixed-rate loans with no pre-payment penalty are the norm. Rates are very competitive with conventional loans.
Eligible Property – These loans are limited to "rural" areas, though you might be surprised by some of the suburbs of major metropolitan areas that qualify as rural. Homes should be modest in size and cost and constructed per local codes and regulations.
Eligible Borrowers – Funds are available for qualified borrowers who earn up to 115% of the area median income. Even candidates who have had past credit issues with late pays, bankruptcies or foreclosure may be eligible. Borrower's income must support the proposed payments and meet the program requirements for approval. Primary occupancy is required. This program is not for investment properties.
Benefits – Minimum cash is needed to close. The USDA Guarantee Fee and eligible closing costs may be financed. Gift money, grant money, and seller contributions are allowed.

If you have questions or want to learn about areas that meet the rural designation criteria, please don't hesitate to reach out. We're happy to help.
Where Do I Begin? – Taking the First Steps Toward Home Ownership
They say that the first step is always the hardest, and that can definitely be true when it comes to buying your first home. Many people know that it makes more sense for them to buy than it does to rent but are not sure where to begin.
It is understandable that purchasing a home may seem daunting but you shouldn't let intimidation get the best of you. You don't need to know the finer details of the process to get started, and once you begin you will have experts to guide you. If you are considering becoming a homeowner, here are some simple first steps to get you on your way.
Step 1: Reach Out To A Loan Officer
Unless you are buying a home with cash, the first and most important step toward becoming a homeowner is to meet with a licensed mortgage Loan Officer. A Loan Officer will serve as your guide through the financial side of the home buying process. They will help you with everything from reviewing your credit and loan options, to securing pre-approval and financing.
If you don't already have a Loan Officer in mind, and would like to work with Marketplace Home Mortgage, you can visit the "Find A Loan Officer" page on our website. Choose a branch near you, and then browse the websites of mortgage professionals who are available to help you at that location.
Once you have found a Loan Officer you would like to work with, call or email to set up an initial appointment. During this appointment, they will help you review your current financial standing by looking at things such as your credit score and income. They can help you determine if there are any credit issues you should work on before you start your house hunt. If you are ready, your Loan Officer will work with you to determine what you can afford and help you get pre-approved.
Step 2: Select A Realtor®
Once you have found and met with a Loan Officer, the next step is to find a licensed REALTOR® that you trust. Your Loan Officer may be able to recommend an agent that their past clients have worked with, or you may have friends and family who have referrals from within their sphere. There is also an abundance of sites that can help you find an agent.
Just like with a Loan Officer you can browse their website, read reviews and meet with them to determine if they are someone you would like to work with.
Step 3: Find Your Dream Home
Once you have your home buying team in place you can start in on the adventure of choosing a home. Your Realtor® will help you find the perfect home and navigate the purchase process, while your Loan Officer helps with the remaining steps required to secure financing and make the purchase.
Although the home buying process may seem daunting, with the right team in place, you will have experienced professionals there to guide you through every step. The only one you have to take on your own is the first.
Give a Marketplace Home Mortgage Loan Officer a call and get started today.

SOS Africa Charity News >
"The Lost 500,000" - SOS Africa Opens Remedial Centre as Part of Initiative to Start Stemming South Africa's Alarming School Drop-Out Rate
26 Jan 2017
As SOS Africa enters its 15th year, the charity's staff and children are celebrating the opening of a brand-new education centre at Somerset-West Methodist School, South Africa. This new facility, generously funded by corporate sponsor Cover & Legal, will not only provide after-school support for children part of SOS Africa's holistic education programme, but also remedial care for students with learning difficulties. This additional support has been introduced to broaden the scope of SOS Africa's education programme to help both children with the greatest potential and those most likely to drop out of South Africa's education system.
In preparation for the opening of the new centre, we looked to carry out research into the numbers of children in South Africa who are hindered by specific learning difficulties. It quickly became clear that this data, which should be widely available, is virtually non-existent. What we do know is that of the 1,303,016 children starting school in Grade 1 in 2004 only 801,688 from the same year group actually sat their matric exams. This means that the South African school system failed 500,000 students from that year group alone.
Throughout the past 14 years we have identified reasons for this alarming drop-out rate. We have witnessed for example, children often taught reading without comprehension and understanding of what they have read, meaning that little information is actually processed and absorbed. It is vital that time is invested into developing extensive reading programmes to get children to question, comprehend and absorb what they are reading.
As a starting point, the new centre will co-ordinate directly with the Methodist School staff to identify the children with reading difficulties. These pupils will then attend the centre each day until their reading levels improve sufficiently.
Western Cape Manager Anna Lusty is responsible for this new initiative:
"Starting by working with 36 children, our staff will be building literacy foundation blocks that are key to them advancing to higher grades and staying in the school system. With as many as 40 kids in under-resourced classrooms, this is a much-needed project."
SOS Africa Chair of Trustees, Ann Crowcombe, who is herself a learning support specialist, hopes to develop similar centres throughout the country:
"Simply getting children through the school gates in Grade 1 is not enough! We must raise the standard of support available to ensure that all children, including those with learning difficulties, leave school with qualifications."

Day Twenty Four.
Twenty miles south and waiting for a port-a-potty, we come to a halt. Winds that tossed the Jeep just minutes earlier seem dead in the gulley where Jackson Lake rests. Unlike some of the lakes that sit majestically nearby, Jackson Lake was not considered prime real estate. It was considered by many to be only good for fishing and recreational use and that any fool who bought property on the lake was a fool out-of-towner. This might have been because the lake was traditionally used by the local youth as a watering hole for minors and generally was a place in which delinquent behavior was encouraged and coerced out of hiding. When I was younger I'd seen a guy, not a friend, drive his car into the lake just to see if he could drive it back out once it started sinking. He destroyed his new car and barely made it out before the vehicle was submerged. All the while a few girlfriends and I watched on, opening cold Bud Lights while leaning between tree roots. After mere moments of reflection on the journal I'd realized exactly where Mark was talking about when he mentioned the chasm.
There had been a massive fallen tree crossing almost the entire lake for most of my youth until some idiot ran over the end of it and destroyed his propeller. When that happened the local fish and wildlife representative had paid to remove the tree in the name of safety and the roots of the tree had pulled up enough Earth to leave a hole in the ground about ten feet long. Jumping down into it used to be a preferred method of avoiding local law enforcement who'd come to check ID and incarcerate minors for under-age consumption. The great thing about this chasm and the stretch of land nearby it was that it wasn't accessible by foot. The girls used to strip down and swim over, letting their clothes dry on them in the heat. I'd never been comfortable swimming at night.
I'd parked next to a couple lake shacks featuring kitsch life preservers and mini lighthouses in the backyards. Against the nearest dock is a rickety paddle boat with a new gas motor attached and a new rowboat with heavy oars resting in the bottom.
"I know how to swim." I say to Cleaver.
After a few feeble attempts to start the motor in boat #1 I finally hear the familiarly relieving sound of a ripping engine coming to life. The dogs jump in after I have moved less than six feet from the dock.
Though the engine is grinding under my hand as I steer the rest of the lake is silent as the grave. Birds sit in the trees, completely undisturbed by my presence, and that of the dogs. Their glass eyes stare at me just like Mark's, without emotion and with too acute awareness. I had almost expected the water to be partially frozen over, but it isn't. My rear is feeling stiff against the cold metal of the boat. It's still damp from the snow yesterday. In the distance, blades of reeds on either side of the chasm sit eerily still, topped with soft flowering heads that have been partially picked apart by birds.
When I reach the edge I turn off the engine and pull the boat in. It scrapes loudly against the rocks. The dogs come out and considerately shake themselves dry right next to me. Already, I can see concrete peeking from beneath the hole. As I approach the opening is clear and a concrete hatch leading underground is propped open with a rock.
The dogs sniff at the edge, waiting to see if I'm going to jump down.
"What can be worse than finding a decaying dead body?"
Cleaver starts to wander off into the woods.
"Yeah, you are probably right. Oh well, here goes nothing."
I jump down.

Dear Crap,
Dear Crap,
You said okay! After how much you were supposed to love me, you didn't even fight for me! Do you know how much I hurt inside? Do you even comprehend the pain of a broken heart that's been stomped on repeatedly? NO! NO! NO! I don't know who I want to slap more, me or you! I made the mistake to let myself feel for you, but you, YOU. I hold back the tears, because what is the use? I will not cry in front of anyone. NEVER!
I told you things I have never told anyone before. Love isn't all it's crapped up to be. I thought I wanted love. This isn't love, it's something that I have no words for. The funny thing is... it's not even your fault. It's mine. You were so sweet and caring. I just want someone to take my frustration and anger out. My tears seem to be doing the opposite of cooperating. This hurts so much, baby. I don't even know what I felt for you. It wasn't love, but it was, is real. It can't happen, though.
It won't happen. My family would never accept our relationship, NEVER understand us. My mother would go after your balls. My brothers, although young, would want to beat you up. My grandma... She would tell you some not-so-nice things. My grandfather would rip your head off. It doesn't matter if we loved each other. It wouldn't matter. You'll be 18 in December, on the 6th. I'll be 15 in January, on the 15th.
I just wish I had never made the wish to feel your love. To have a boyfriend. I'm not ready to have a boyfriend. I'm just not ready. I'm too scared I'll mess up or you won't turn out to be who I thought you were. I'll say good night because good bye is forever and I refuse to say forever.
With Tears,
Good Night,

The federal Fair Housing Act requires that government recipients of federal housing and urban development funds do more than not discriminate; they must affirmatively further fair housing. This means they must analyze their areas and develop and implement plans to address housing discrimination.

It's been said Australia was for a long time "riding on the sheep's back" to prosperity. But it could equally be said Australia rode on the horse's back, and in a much more literal sense.
The first horses - at least seven - came here in 1788 on the First Fleet, bought in Cape Town en route. But conditions in the colony were harsh on the imported animals as well as the new human settlers, and by 1791 only one stallion, one mare and two colts survived.
For several decades, horses remained scarce and expensive, but by the 1830s, settlers were importing mixed-breed horses from India and the Cape and thoroughbreds, arabians and clydesdales from England.
Ever since, horses have played an important role in Australian history - and now there are millions of them. From transportation to racing to warfare to farming to policing, they were a a central part of many aspects of life. Bushrangers rode them to escape from the police, who rode them in pursuit. Horses were used to deliver bread and milk in the cities and helped plough fields and muster livestock in the country. Even after the widespread use of the motor engine lessened many people's dependence on them, horses remained central to Australian culture - celebrated in song and story, poetry and film - and in many people's affections.
The relationship between humans and horses in all its many forms is celebrated in Spirited: Australia's Horse Story. This exhibition, three years in planning and preparation, opens at the National Museum of Australia on September 11.
There are more than 500 items in the show, and while some are on loan - including a 1990s Golden Slipper hat from racehorse trainer Gai Waterhouse - most of them are drawn from the 5500 horse-related pieces in the National Museum of Australia's collection, including a large number from the Horse Era Museum which operated in Canberra from 1966 to 1970. Many of the items have seldom, if ever, been on display.
Among many, many objects, there's the Corona typewriter on which Elyne Mitchell typed the 1958 children's classic The Silver Brumby, tools from a 1920s saddlery shop, and a landau carriage shipped from New York in 1889 by William Pitt Faithfull for his eldest daughter, Florence at Springfield station, near Goulburn. At that time, the station had about 170 horses for hauling loads, working chaff cutters and pumps, pulling vehicles and competing in the show ring and on the race track.
Exhibition co-curator Martha Sear says the idea for the exhibition came about when museum employees realised just how strong the institution's horse-related collection was.
"It's history from the point of view of another animal - the horse," she says.
Until well after World War II, she says, every aspect of Australian life had an equine underpinning and even now, horses are important to many - on farms and also in sport and recreation.
To celebrate the many ways in which horses have been important to Australian life required a lot of work. The museum's collection had to be combed and pieces selected for exhibition - and then, in many cases, a significant amount of conservation work had to be done. A milk wagon, for example, that was acquired on eBay as part of the exhibition project, arrived in pieces and had to be painstakingly assembled, its peeling paint steamed and put back in place, flake by flake. But it was not repainted - they wanted to keep it as it was.
"This was about conservation, not restoration," she says. And furthermore, all but one of the curators who worked on the exhibition had been "horse made" since they were young children - owning and riding horses, belonging to pony clubs.
"I was the one curator who didn't have that connection," Sear says.
Not that she disliked horses or was completely unfamiliar with them - "I grew up just south of Sydney and there were a lot of horses around" - but for her, working on Spirited was "a journey of discovery. I wasn't as familiar with the Australian horse story as my colleagues." She says was moved to find out just how powerful the connection between people and horses can be.
"They're more than just a pet, they're a companion and a friend, with whom people have shared important moments and secrets. It's really profound."
Sear also came to understand just how important the horse was in shaping Australia's history.
Kirsten Wehner, head curator of People and the Environment and the exhibition's co-head curator with Sear, came into the project with a long personal connection to horses. She grew up on Mount Stromlo where her father worked as a astronomical engineer.
"I learnt to ride when I was about five," she says. "Quite simply, I was a pony-obsessed child ... I was a riding-school brat."
In her 20s she began competing in events such as dressage and now has her own horse, a thoroughbred named Mr McEnroe, after American tennis player John McEnroe, a star of the 1970s and '80s. "He's temperamental, like the tennis player."
So it's no surprise that Wehner was keen to work on the exhibition, "horses being a large part of my life and a large part of almost everybody's life for most of Australian history, up until the 1950s and '60s".
She was interested in exploring this long historical reliance on horses, and particularly in how people related to the animals, as well as looking closer at the the museum's large collection - dating back to the 1980s - and the items borrowed specifically for the exhibition.
"There's such a variety of different kinds of objects. There are icons like the 1866 and 1867 Melbourne Cups - beautiful and over the top - all the way through to a diseased horse leg from the Institute of Anatomy's collection."
Sculptor Harrie Fasher has been involved with the exhibition since late last year. She built the steel mannequins of horses used in the exhibition - constructed to the specific measurements of real horses so the saddles, harnesses and other equipment they model would fit correctly - as well as the centrepiece, Silent Conversation, featuring a human and a horse figure and illustrating the central theme of the exhibition: the relationship between the two species.
Fasher - who hails from the Hawsbury River region - is definitely a horse person. "I grew up riding - mum's a country girl," she says. "I took up riding professionally when I was 19." She competed in three-day eventing but in 2004 she had a major life change after a fall. "I lost two horses - one in the fall, one to colic - and was in bed for six months."
She gave up riding and took up studies at the National Art School in Sydney. She initially planned to study painting but went on to focus on sculpture. And horses became her signature work.
Now, still living in the country, she has taken up riding again, doing cattle work on a property as well as working as a sculptor.
Looking around Spirited, she says, "I think it's fascinating that all these objects exist and that you've got them all." Two that stand out for her are a tiny saddle made for a very small child and - especially - an antique rocking horse. "That's my favourite. I've never seen an art deco-style rocking horse. It moves across the floor."
Ever the horse person, she admits, "I was dying to give it a try but the curatorial team wouldn't let me. They'd have had my guts for garters!"
But even if the rocking horse is off-limits, the museum staff want this to be an interactive exhibition. There will be a children's trail and a family activity area - a visitor will be able, for example, to measure his or her own height in hands and see how they compare with famous Australian horses. There's also an extended equine encounter going beyond the exhibition into the museum to discover treasures like the heart of legendary racehorse Phar Lap, and a website with information, videos, and a place where visitors can post their own horse stories.
Sear says, "We're very keen for people to tell us their stories. We've started the conversation and when people visit they can share their horse stories with us."
Spirited: Australia's Horse Story is at the National Museum of Australia from September 11 to March 9, 2015. Admission $15 adults, $12 concessions, $7.50 Friends members, free for children 16 and under. Website: nma.gov.au/horses

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt dropped by the Naankuse Lodge and Wildlife Sanctuary over the holidays to drop off a check for $2 million to the Namibian sanctuary.
The Jolie-Pitt foundation donation was made in the name of their daughter Shiloh, who was born in Namibia.
In a statement released late Sunday, Angelina said, "We want her to be very involved and grow up with the understanding of her country of birth."
The Jolie-Pitt clan spent Christmas together at the lodge, where staff say the children helped to feed and care for orphaned baby baboons and foxes and saw a leopard released back into the wild, reports AP.
Dara Barrett, head of finance at the Naankuse sanctuary, told The Associated Press that the money would be used primarily to benefit the community of San bushmen on the farm and surrounding areas. "Some of the donated funds will be used in the running of a clinic which provides free medical care to the community of bushmen, including the treatment of malnutrition, tuberculosis and HIV," she said. The remainder of the funds will be used for large animal conservation projects and other San community projects which have yet to be identified, Barrett said.

A group of Christchurch pensioners who created their own version of Pharrell William's Happy video have won the approval of the hip hop star.
The 60 residents and staff of the Diana Isaac Retirement Village have seen their sprightly version of the hit song -- which they entitled 80-Odd Years of Happy -- make world headlines after the singer tweeted a link to their YouTube video.
"Wow ... 80 Odd Years of Happy!," he posted, alongside emoticons of a smiley face and clapping hands.
Wow...80 Odd Years of Happy! ????http://t.co/lWXUs7J3fq— Pharrell Williams (@Pharrell) July 30, 2014
The tweet racked up 618 retweets and 825 favourites on the social networking site, with the YouTube video clocking more than 1.8 million views.
Fans of the music star replied to the post, saying it was "awesome" and "better than the original".
Since Pharrell tweeted the link overnight on Wednesday NZT, stories of the retirees antics have been splashed across global news websites, including the Huffington Post, Daily Mail, People Magazine, ITV News, Celebuzz, and Mashable, with glowing reviews.
Watch: 'Happy' pensioners in Pharrell parody
"When you see these seniors boogieing down, you'll want to get right up and dance along," the Huffington Post said, calling the video "simply irresistible".
The video for 80-Odd Years of Happy was posted on YouTube on July 19, with the caption saying the residents wanted to "show their children and grandchildren just what they're made of".
They had "combined all their considerable talents to come up with this tribute", in which they mimic the moves and scenes created by Pharrell in the original.
"It's just about celebrating the fact that just because you might have only a few years under your belt, it doesn't matter, you can still do these things," David King, a spokesperson for Ryman Health Care, told Daily Mail Australia.
The star of the video is 79-year-old Alister Leckie, a former engineer who dons a white shirt, bow-tie and Pharrell-like buffalo hat to play the part.
He had "never done anything like that before, and absolutely loved it", Mr King said.
The pensioners are reportedly discussing a sequel.
Happy, which featured on the soundtrack for Despicable Me 2, soared to the top of the charts in more than 20 countries, including New Zealand. It is the lead single from Pharrell's latest album, Girl, and was nominated for a Best Original Song Oscar at the 86th Academy Awards in March.
The video spawned hundreds of cover versions from various countries around the world, with people dancing through the streets to the song.

Anthony McDonald Finally Turns Pro
On May 15 fans all across the Northwest got the news they had been anxiously awaiting: Anthony McDonald announcing his leap from amateur to pro.
From McDonald's Facebook page: "Officially now Pro but won't be doing MMA that much. Instead I will be doing K-1 Kickboxing here on out. So now my training camp will consist on my standup and cardio and strength training. I'm 3-0 as a kickboxer and looking forward to the next Glory heavyweight tournament. Yea buddy".
McDonald, 13-5 MMA and 3-0 kickboxing, is creating new challenges for himself as he jumps to a much more superior level of MMA: pro status.
"I didn't want to rush it [going pro], I don't want to end up with a bare record. I would have gone pro regardless of whether I won or lost my last fight because I based it on my performance. If I lost but had an excellent performance, why wouldn't I turn up the heat for myself? I went in believing this is my last MMA fight, it's time."
Unlike many other fighters, McDonald is primarily focused on K1 Kickboxing rather than his MMA because he believes it challenges him more than MMA can.
"I love K1 kickboxing. If you watch K1 striking it's so crisp and pure. When I compare it to my fighting I know I've got holes. I'm a wild fighter and I've got to zero in on those holes. I want to be the best. I love K1 because it's different from MMA. I am more confident when I kickbox. I'm dedicated. I like knowing that when I kick you, you'll fall. It's a fight [compared to MMA], you have to strike. The ref won't let you rest. It's a true test on what you're capable of."
Retaining dedication and determination in his goals and capabilities was a huge spotlight for McDonald when speaking about his future in this physically and mentally competitive sport.
"I hit the gym every single day. I can't stop that if I'm going to fight the best of the best. I need to hit harder, punch faster, move quicker, last longer. The striking at this level will be intense. I have to own it."
In the future, McDonald would like to target his strong abilities and create a perfect harmony between his craziness and what his body is capable of.
"It'll still be me [as a pro], but more focused. My skill set will be exceedingly high, I will have ridiculous cardio, more technique, just less craziness in the cage. I still want to be myself, my all smiles in and out of the cage. As for my moves, you'll still see the flying kicks and knees, and the superman punches and hooks, those moves win my fights."
As many of us fans are still wondering, when will Anthony "The Joker" McDonald return to the cage for the pro debut?
"I'm thinking in about three months I want to pro debut in K1. I want to get in better shape before then and work more on my cardio and technique. I want those crisp strikes. I know the transition at any level is tough: especially amateur to pro. You're fresh meat, you gotta prove it – prove why you're there and why you deserve it."
Before becoming a UFC spotlight, McDonald plans on climbing the ranks in both kickboxing and MMA, using all of his knowledge and technique to secure a well-earned spot in the famous pro level arena.
"I want to ride all the way up. I have the skills and determination to get there. I want to make my own path to the UFC. I'm 28 years old I want to enjoy the full experience. I know that in the UFC if you lose two or more fights you're done. I want to get there and stay there. I want to start with K1 at any kickboxing organization, then move up to the Glory Heavyweight tournaments then get to Bellator or the UFC."
As many would sincerely agree, we look forward to seeing where this Pacific Northwest phenomenon will go with his incredible skillset, carefree attitude, and superman punches.
Visit Anthony McDonald's fan page on Facebook to get up to date details for his upcoming debut, updates on his training and more!

Machu Picchu, Texas
High-caliber performances drive Timothy McNeil's world-premiere dramedy, Machu Picchu, Texas, about families enmeshed in a web of crisis. The Houston home of Sonia (Bonnie McNeil) and Harold Ogden (Tom Stanczyk) has become a hospice for their nephew, Terry (Matt Magnusson), and Sonia's brother, Charles (McNeil). An assault by hooligans has left Charles brain-damaged and using a wheelchair. Terry, forced to witness the attack on his father, is emotionally traumatized. The tragedy, however, is only a metaphor for a deeper malaise that batters these souls like a malevolent wind. Harold is an insufferable, boorish drunk who delights in browbeating the sweetly accommodating Sonia, their troubled daughter, Melissa (Meghan Cox), and his sister-in-law, Rhonda (Tara Stewart-Thornton), whose anger over husband Charles' pitiful state is really the top layer of her devouring disillusionment with life. Stoically tolerating their failings and miseries — and each other — is what this group does best, and McNeil's script, which touches on love, loss, taboo sexual desires and even reincarnation, bristles with grainy dialogue and dark humor. McNeil, who also directs, draws fine performances from a sizable cast that includes Heidi Sulzman, a runaway hoot as the mouthy, attitudinally vibrant June Bug. Michael Fitzgerald's expansive set design, which includes a bar and two craft workshops, adds the requisite touch of the Southwest rustic.
