SAY EVERYTHING WITH ZERO CHARACTERS
HUG IS THE FIRST EMOJI YOU CAN FEEL
Send a remote HUG people can really feel,
get close no matter where you are!
SHORT INTRO
The new app, HUG, wants to bring people closer together and make digital communication a bit more tactile.
EXPLANATORY INTRO
HUG is a new app that lets you hug each other no matter where you are in the world. Just hug your phone by keeping it close to your heart. Using your phone’s proximity sensor, HUG will detect and record how long your hug is. The receiver will then feel your HUG with a vibration – for the same amount of time you’ve hugged your phone for. HUG makes it easy to send or feel a hug even if they’re on the opposite side of the planet. Try it – it actually feels really good!
FORMER GOOGLE EMPLOYEES
Former Googlers (and brothers) Petter Prinz and Kaspar Prinz are hoping to encourage people to use their smartphones for something a little unusual: to HUG each other. Like a real, physical hug.
CONNECTED, YET MORE ALONE
“Today friends, couples and families are living on different schedules and different parts of the world. The most written word in 2014 wasn’t “Hi” or “Hello”, it was the heart emoji. With Facebook, Instagram and Whatsapp we’re constantly trying to keep in touch. But along the way we’ve lost the physical touch . With HUG we’re hoping to change that.” says Petter Prinz (CEO & CoFounder).
THE FIRST EMOJI YOU CAN FEEL
HUG is a simple, fast and fun way to communicate in a physical, yet digital way. For the first time, the emoji can be more tactile. Just hug your phone by keeping it close to your heart. Using your phone’s proximity sensor, HUG will detect and record how long your hug is. The receiver will then feel your HUG with a vibration – for the same amount of time you’ve hugged your phone for. HUG makes it easy to send or feel a hug even if they’re on the opposite side
of the planet.
SAY EVERYTHING WITH A HUG – IT FEELS GOOD
To make your HUG really count, you can choose what kind of HUG you want to send. Do you feel happy, sad, curious, excited, loving or in the mood for partying? Send a 40second LOVING HUG to your fiancee while they’re at work, a 5second PARTY HUG to your friends on a Friday night, or a 1minute HAPPY HUG to your kids before they go to bed.
KEEP TRACK OF YOUR HUG RELATIONSHIPS
You’ll also be able to keep track of your HUGs. See how many HUGs you’ve sent to each other, what kind of HUGs they were, and how long you’ve hugged each other since you’ve started using the app.
THE SCIENCE BEHIND A HUG
It may just sound like a fun little idea, but HUG actually taps into a deeper level of science. It’s well known that hugging makes us both healthier and happier. According to 1P sychological Science , a hug increases levels of the "social hormone" oxytocin. This, in turn, has beneficial effects on your heart health and more. A 10second hug a day can lead to biochemical and physiological reactions in your body that can significantly improve your health. According to scientific studies, this includes: a boost to your immune system, a lower risk of heart disease, fight fatigue and infections, ease depression, reduce stress and boost your self esteem. It simply makes you feel good.
HUG – IT FEELS GOOD
Finally, HUG might not just be a new social network but also an app for a better health and well being. Sure, you are kind of hugging yourself. But in the end it’s all about perceptions – didn’t you feel good when you hugged your teddy bear as a child? When you receive your first HUG from someone you care about – there’s no doubt that you‘ll feel good. Download the app, invite your friends and family and send a HUG today.

UNDEFEATED CRUISERWEIGHT JEAN Pierre Augustin of Lawrence, Mass., makes his Rhode Island and CES Boxing debut on Friday, April 3, 2015 when he faces Solomon Maye of New Haven, Conn., on the undercard of "The Revival," presented by CES Boxing. Augustin is now trained by former five-time world champion Vinny Paz and managed by award-winning film producer Chad Verdi, both of whom he met while playing a role in the upcoming movie, Bleed For This, based on Paz's legendary career.

Film producer Verdi, boxing champ Paz team up with unbeaten New England prospect Augustin |
LINCOLN, R.I. (March 19th, 2015) -- The phone call couldn't have come at a better time for Jean Pierre Augustin, even if he wasn't quite sure it was real.
"I didn't take it seriously at first," said the Lawrence, Mass., cruiserweight boxer. "I thought it was a prank."
But this was no joke. This was the opportunity of a lifetime, a chance for the 27-year-old fighter to play a role in Bleed For This, the upcoming Chad Verdi-produced film based on the career of five-time world champion Vinny Paz.
Augustin (4-0, 2 KOs) landed the role of former world champ Gilbert Dele, whom Paz beat in 1991, and made a lasting impression on the cast and crew, specifically Verdi and Paz, who are now guiding Augustin's boxing career, which resumes Friday, April 3rd, 2015 at Twin River Casino on the undercard of "The Revival," presented by CES Boxing in association with Verdi Productions.
Tickets for Augustin's Twin River and CES debut are priced at $40.00, $100.00 and $125.00 and available for purchase online atwww.cesboxing.com or www.twinriver.com, by phone at 401-724-2253/2254 or at the Twin River Players Club. All fights and fighters are subject to change.
"This is a blessing for me," Augustin said. "There's no other way for me to describe it."
"Vinny is 100 percent committed to training JP and making him a world champion," Verdi said. "This is the main reason I agreed to become JP's manager, and working with Vinny again is an absolute joy. Both Vinny and I feel JP has what it takes to become a champion, but it's up to him to put in all the hard work and dedication needed."
That part is nothing new for Augustin, who, with few connections on the local boxing circuit, needed the help of a sponsor at the beginning of his pro career just to pay his way onto various cards in West Virginia and North Carolina, where he amassed a 4-0 record with two first-round knockouts in 2014.
But the money from fighting wasn't enough to pay the bills, so the Haitian-born Augustin found other ways to earn a living, working as a plumber, security guard and even a part-time Uber driver.
"I really didn't know where my career was going," he said. "I was basically living out of a suitcase moving from camp to camp, hustling here and there to get a job done and get some cash.
"I was pursuing a dream, but the dream really wasn't taking me anywhere."
Raised in Boston before moving to Lawrence at the age of 10, Augustin's first love was martial arts, but it wasn't "physical enough," so, on the recommendation of his sensei, he took up boxing at a local gym.
"I instantly fell in love with it," he said.
After 55 amateur fights (49 wins among them), Augustin finally turned pro in February of 2014. The struggle to land a spot on a card in New England with other promoters - "I just couldn't get a fair shake," he said - forced Augustin to remain a boxing nomad until he linked up with Verdi and Paz on the set for Bleed For This.
The rest is history. With Verdi as his manager, Paz as his trainer, and CES president Jimmy Burchfield Sr. as his promoter, Augustin now has an opportunity to build a fan base in New England and take his career to new heights. The journey begins April 3rd in a four-round bout against New Haven, Conn., vet Solomon Maye (1-4).
"Things have been unfolding quickly," said Augustin, who has been training and sparring at Balletto's Gym in Providence while also working with Rhode Island-based coach Vic Fagnant. "It's not overwhelming, but it's a lot to process.
"I'm just thankful for this opportunity."
"The Revival" features the 10-round main event between Universal Boxing Federation (UBF) female super bantamweight world championShelly Vincent (13-0, 1 KO) of Providence and three-time world-title challenger Christina Ruiz (7-7-3, 4 KOs) of San Antonio, Tex. Both Vincent's UBF title and the vacant International Boxing Association (IBA) world title will be on the line.
Unbeaten Providence super middleweight Angel Camacho Jr. (13-0, 4 KOs) faces the dangerous Chris Chatman (12-4-1, 5 KOs) of Jersey City, N.J., in the six-round co-feature, while undefeated welterweight Nick DeLomba (6-0) of Cranston, R.I., battles Hartford, Conn., vet Joe Wilson Jr. (3-1) in a six-round special attraction.
Bleed For This is the inspirational true story of Rhode Island's Paz, who defied the odds by winning the third of his five world titles just one year after a near-fatal car crash left him with a broken neck and an uncertain future.
Executive produced by Martin Scorsece, Michelle Verdi andJoshua Sason and produced by Verdi, Bruce Cohen, Emma Tillinger Koskoff, Pam Thur and Noah Kraft, Bleed For This starsMiles Teller (The Spectacular Now, That Awkward Moment andGeneration X) as Paz; Golden Globe nominee Aaron Eckhart (The Dark Knight, Olympus Has Fallen, I and Frankenstein) as trainerKevin Rooney; Katey Sagal (Married ... With Children, Sons Of Anarchy) as Louise Pazienza; and Ciaran Hinds (Frozen, Munich,The Road to Perdition and Harry Potter) as Angelo Pazienza.
The undercard of "The Revival" also features several noteworthy regional showdowns, including a four-round junior welterweight bout between unbeaten Worcester, Mass., native Freddy Sanchez (3-0, 2 KOs) and Briam Granado (1-0, 1 KO) of New Bedford, Mass., and a four-round super middleweight bout between Zachary Christy (1-0-1) of Warwick, R.I.

In the much-anticipated main event of the evening, Sergey "Krusher" Kovalev (27-0-1, 24 KOs)* and Jean Pascal (29-3-1, 17 KOs) pleased fans with an action-packed battle. Both fighters started by trading some good shots, but Kovalev started to throw some nasty combinations in the third round to take the wind out of the hostile crowd at the Centre Bell in Montreal. Just before the end of the third round, Kovalev knocked Pascal through the ropes but Pascal was saved by the bell. Sergey came out swinging in the fourth to try to capitalize on the near KO, but Pascal managed to stay on his feet and land a huge right to show Kovalev he was still in the fight. As the bell rang to end the fourth round, both men were still trading big shots.
The fifth round began quietly, but Pascal started to throw some intense combinations in the middle of the round. Kovalev continued to be the aggressor, however, landing some big shots of his own. The crowd at Centre Bell was deafening with cheers for Pascal and boos for Kovalev. Finally, in the eighth round, Sergey came on with a brutal attack that resulted in his own slip. While Sergey was getting up, Pascal looked noticeably rattled at the ropes. The two traded a couple more shots before referee Luis Pabon stopped the fight and declared Kovalev the winner by TKO in the eighth round.
After the fight, Kovalev insisted he will be ready for anything next. He said, "Thank you so much. How it started I didn't like. After fourth round I gained control. He was mine after that. He got me a couple good punches. It is boxing. [On a potential fight with Stevenson] I am ready for anything. [On the possibility of a rematch] I am ready for any fights. If my promoter says I fight Jean Pascal again, I will fight him."
Pascal felt the stoppage was premature, but said this after the fight, "Honestly, it was a good fight. It was an action fight for the fans. I tip my hat to Kovalev. He is a champion. I don't know why the referee stopped the fight. It was a great fight. I was in the fight from the first round. We should do it again. I should have a rematch. I am a crowd-pleaser. At Centre Bell I am always going to give the fans a great fight. I will be back."
In the fight for the #1 position in the IBF and USBA Heavyweight Championship stablemates Vyacheslav "Czar" Glazkov (20-0-1, 12 KOs) and Steve "USS" Cunningham (28-7, 13 KOs) came out of the box trading big punches. Cunningham appeared to have a slight edge in the first few rounds, but Glazkov, who is always a slow starter, began to show signs of life in the fifth round. The unofficial scorecards from the television and the media were all over the map on this fight, but the judges officially scored the fight 116-112, 115-113 and 116-112 all in favor of Czar Glazkov for a unanimous decision victory. The Ukrainian remains undefeated and will anxiously await to face the winner of Klitschko-Jennings next month.
The PunchStat had Glazkov landing a greater percentage of his shots but a smaller total number of shots (Glazkov 144/441 - 33%; Cunningham 180/649 - 28%). Their jabs landed were almost identical (Glazkov 60/215 - 28%; Cunningham 57/309 - 18%), but Cunningham had the edge with the power punches landed. Their power punch percentages were near even (Glazkov 84/226 - 37%; Cunningham 123-340 - 36%).
The HBO World Championship Boxing telecast began with Main Eventsstablemates slugging it out for the vacant NABF Light Heavyweight Title, Isaac "Golden Boy" Chilemba (23-2-2, 10 KOs) of Malawi and Vasily "The Professor" Lepikhin (17-1, 9 KOs) of Russia. Both fighters looked good early on. In the second round, Chilemba got in some hard shots on the Russian but Lepikhin did not seem fazed. However, Chilemba continued to dominate Lepikhin for the remainder of the fight. Lepikhin managed to go the distance but Chilemba secured a decisive unanimous decision with two judges scoring the bout 99-91 and the third scoring it 100-90. This was the first career loss for Lepikhin and the first fight of the evening to go the distance.
The final PunchStat report has Chilemba landing more than double the number of total punches than Lepikhin, despite their connection percentages being similar (Chilemba 192/683 - 28%; Lepikhin 75/289 - 26%). Also, Chilemba landed nearly half of his power punches (100 of 237 - 42%) whereas Lepikhin landed 27% (36 of 131).
In the final bout before the live HBO telecast, David Theroux (6-0, 4 KOs) of Sorel, QC, CAN stopped Lukasz Janik (12-10-1, 6 KOs) of Katowice, Poland in the third round. Janik fell victim to the three knockdown rule and the referee declared Theroux the winner by TKO at 2:31 in the third round.
Local favorite Dierry Jean (28-1, 20 KOs) of Montreal, Quebec, Canada and Carlos Manuel Reyes (24-4-1, 16 KOs) of Mao, Dominican Republic were scheduled for ten rounds of light heavyweight action. However, Jean knocked down Reyes in the third. He was then knocked down again a few seconds later and the referee stopped the fight.
Nadjib "Iron Jib" Mohammedi (38-3, 23 KOs) of Aix-en-Provence, France, the #1 contender in the IBF light heavyweight rankings, took on Lee Junior Campbell (8-2, 4 KOs) of Laurenburg, NC. Mohammedi dominated Campbell for every round until the referee stopped the fight in the sixth. As the IBF mandatory contender, he is scheduled to face Sergey "Krusher" Kovalev in his next fight.
According to PunchStat, Nadjib landed more total punches than Campbell threw (Mohammedi 243/672 - 36%; Campbell 40/196 - 20%). The same was also true for jabs (Mohammedi 91/321 - 28%; Campbell 11/74 - 15%) and power punches (Mohammedi 152/351 - 43%; Campbell 29/122 - 24%).
After the fight, Mohammedi said, "I am very happy because this was a great place for a fight. This was my first fight with my new trainer, Abel Sanchez. Tonight I take my time. Campbell was tired and I worked to wear him down. This was a good win tonight. I was smart tonight. Everybody got to see me. Now Canada knows Nadjib Mohammedi."
Light welterweight Yves Ulysse Junior (6-0, 4 KOs) of Montreal, Quebec, Canada and Miguel Antoine (17-2-1, 9 KOs) of Wildey, Barbados were scheduled for eight rounds but Junior knocked down Antoine three times in the fourth round. He continued his attack in the sixth round and knocked down Antoine at 2:43 and the referee stopped the fight.
In the first bout of the evening welterweights Dmitry "The Mechanic" Mikhaylenko (19-0, 8 KOs) of Gelendzhik, Russia and Felipe De La Paz (14-4-2, 5 KOs) of Monterrey, Mexico faced-off. Mikhaylenko knocked down De La Paz just before the bell ended the first round. "The Mechanic" continued his fierce attack on De La Paz until De La Paz quit on the stool before the start of the sixth round.

Steve "USS" Cunningham Media Workout Quotes and Photos |
"USS" Cunningham Photo Credits: Dave Torres/Main Events
|
Steve "USS" Cunningham [On his first fight in Montreal] I am excited. This is my first time in Canada. From the Pascal fights I have seen, the fans in Montreal are crazy for boxing. I am excited to go.
[On his first fight on HBO] It is 14 years in the making. I am happy to finally be here.
[On Glazkov] He struggled against Malik Scott and Derric Rossy and they have similar styles. I ain't worried about none of that though. I need to do what Steve Cunningham does. I come to kick butt. I come to win. I come to walk out of there with my hands raised.
[On the stakes riding on this fight] The stakes for this fight are the ultimate stakes. This is the fight to get to the heavyweight title. This is that fight that gets you there. Every fight I have had has been the most important fight of my career but this fight is on the stage for that #1 spot. This is to get to the champion. This is the biggest fight of my career. This is the biggest fight of a lot of peoples' careers. I want to capitalize on it. I want to make the best of it. I want to get in there and do what I am supposed to do. I want to get in there and do what I know I can do. I don't want to be concerned with Glazkov himself I am just focusing on me. This is the upper echelon stakes.
[On fighting Klitschko or Jennings if he wins] I just need to get in there and handle this business. I can elaborate more on that March 15. Right now Glazkov is the tip of the spear.
I am looking at this fight like it is a cruiserweight fight. Naazim and I had good work. We got in good sparring with good guys that we have worked with before. We have been putting in good work and we are ready for anything. He could come in at 250 [pounds] if he wants or 210 [pounds] and we are ready to go.
I have been the underdog since I started boxing. The main thing to do is keep the faith. When you believe in what you are doing, you love what you do and you work hard at what you do then nobody can stop you. I have always been the underdog, always. I was the underdog for so long so that motivation is just built into me. How many times have I fought in Philly? As a cruiserweight it was only one time. Now I have fought here a few times as a heavyweight. Even as an amateur I never really had that home court advantage, never. That is a kitchen I cook in well. I am used to not being comfortable. I learned to work in uncomfortable situations. I was in the United States Navy for four years. I am ready for hard work. When you can perform in lack of comfort it builds something in you. I have seen guys seen guys break down mentally when they have to fight overseas because they are not in comfortable setting. I could care less about where I fight. We could have a ring on the moon and Steve Cunningham is golden time.
A lot of fans want to see you take the throne from the king. I am a boxing fan myself. Before I was a fighter I was a fan. I understand the fans want you to take the crown from the king. I would love to fight Wladimir [Klitschko] because when you are a champion and you are at that level the challenges are what drive you. It is not just money and this and that. A champion wants to put himself up against the best. He wants to see how he fairs against the best. Wladimir Klitschko is the best right now. I would love to challenge him. I have been to camp with Wladimir twice. He and I have a good relationship. We talk all the time. We've got the same lawyer. I totally respect him.
We work on putting the weight on. This camp I have been coming in higher than I have in the past. I don't matter. Whatever weight we come in at, that's the weight we are fighting at. That's my mindset. I try to put the weight on but my metabolism is so crazy and I sweat so much I can't keep it on.
Brother Naazim Richardson, Cunningham's trainer [On Glazkov's Olympic experience] I don't underestimate Glazkov in any capacity. Even though fighters say it's not true, but I believe any kid who has been to the Olympics is ready for the big stage. I have been to the Olympics. The Olympics is large. More people watch the Olympics than any world championship fight. I was with my son at the Olympics with Bernard Hopkins, and Bernard had every belt you could have, and I asked my son how the opening game of the Olympics compared to any fight he had ever been to. He said this ain't even close. I think Glazkov is ready for anything after competing in the Olympics. He is definitely one of the most dangerous athletes, if not the most dangerous, one we have ever faced for that reason. He is a very talented kid.
Steve needs to be the best Steve Cunningham he can be and that will be enough for Glazkov. When Steve is at his best he brings enough to the table to beat him. Steve just turned heavyweight not too long ago yet he is facing his fourth undefeated heavyweight and the third one in a row. Who has done that, including the champion? I feel that had he had more time to acclimate to this weight class he would have put on an even better performance against [Tyson] Fury.

28-6 (13 KOs) |
Strength |
Glazkov is a very active fighter who is consistently in the ring. He has solid defensive skills and a good chin. He physically breaks down his opponents, and he is not afraid to engage with anyone. |
Cunningham is a veteran who has much more professional experience than his younger opponent; he is also a former two-time cruiserweight world champion. He is coming off of major wins over hard hitters and undefeated fighters: Amir Mansour and Natu Visinia. |
Weakness |
"The Czar" has a tendency to be a slow starter, which almost got him into trouble in a close decision win against Derric Rossy. |
Steve lacks significant power for a heavyweight; since 2010 he has only recorded two knockout wins, and has only recorded 13 knockouts in his 28 career victories. |
Experience |
Glazkov had an impressive amateur career, earning a bronze medal in the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing, China. His recent and tough wins over veteran Derric Rossy and then-#2 ranked heavyweight contender Tomasz Adamek have helped prepare him well for this big stage. |
Cunningham will have the advantage here as he is a former cruiserweight champ and three of his past five fights have been against former or currently ranked heavyweight contenders. (Tomasz Adamek, Tyson Fury and Amir Mansour) |
Power |
Although he does not possess that one-punch power, Glazkov will have an advantage here. He has the ability to physically break his opponent down throughout the fight. |
Although he did record a stoppage win in his previous bout, Steve is not known for his knockout power. He is more of a boxer and will need to be cautious when exchanging punches with the younger and more powerful Glazkov. |
Speed |
Although Glazkov is a natural heavyweight, he is still somewhat small for the division. He moves around the ring very well.
|
Steve is small for a heavyweight, which enables him to move around the ring well. He may need to keep a safe distance from the hard-hitting Ukrainian. He also possesses great hand speed and a quick jab that he must utilize to win this fight. |
Endurance |
Glazkov will be at a slight disadvantage here; he has only been 12 rounds on one occasion. However, he tends to be a slow starter so the additional rounds may help. |
Cunningham may have the advantage here as he has gone a full 12 rounds on nine separate occasions during his career. |
Accuracy |
Glazkov is a very accurate puncher, much like his opponent, he picks his shots well and is a solid technical fighter. |
Cunningham is a good technical boxer who picks his shots wisely and does not waste many punches. |
Defense |
Glazkov is a very effective defensive fighter who does a good job of shielding himself when dealing with his opponent's onslaught. |
Steve moves around the ring well and often, making it difficult for any big heavyweight to cut the ring off and land their significant shots. |
Chin |
In the past year, Glazkov has shown that he has a solid chin. He took a lot of big shots against Derric Rossy, and was able to weather the storm and box his way to a decision win. |
Steve has only been knocked out once in his career by the #4 WBO heavyweight contender Tyson Fury. He was also knocked down twice against Amir Mansour, but he was able to rise to the occasion and defeat the previously ranked heavyweight in what some believe was the fight of the year for 2014. |
Style |
Glazkov is a defensive-minded fighter who will not hesitate to engage with his opponents if necessary. |
Steve is a technical boxer who has no problem trading shots. |
Crowd Support |
Glazkov has been in big fights throughout the past three years. It is safe to say that he has built a fan base and they may be in attendance for this bout. |
Steve may have a slight advantage here; he has never fought in Canada but has been in many big fights during his career and has a fan friendly style. |
Intangibles |
Glazkov has no problem facing opposition with more experience than him. He could have taken an easier road to a title shot, but instead has been willing to face a long list of veterans and current or former ranked contenders. Cunningham will be his 13th consecutive opponent who is older and more experienced. |
Steve will face his third undefeated heavyweight opponent in a row when he squares off against the IBF #2 heavyweight contender Vyacheslav Glazkov. |
