Q: How can I match strings with at least one word in common in R? Dataframe 1 example:
NAME;                        CITY; STATE;  SURNAME;
Maria Antonia Sousa          A     X       Antonia Sousa
Josep Oliveira Carlos        A     X       Oliveira Carlos
Jose Mario Augusto Farias    B     Y       Augusto Farias
Andre Gois Lucas             B     Y       Gois Lucas

I want to create a column familyDummy in the second dataframe that indicates people that share a least one word of their surnames with the surnames in the first dataframe, but only if they are from the same city and state. The same person may appear in both df's and I don't want to identify them as family. The df's don't have the same lenght.
Dataframe 2 example:
NAME;                    CITY;  STATE;    SURNAME;          familyDummy;
Maria Antonia Sousa      A      X         Antonia Sousa     0
Angela Oliveira Santos   A      X         Oliveira Santos   1
Fabio Silva Carlos       B      Y         Silva Carlos      0
Luan Gois Lucas          B      Y         Gois Lucas        1

I appreciate any help.

A: Here's a solution to solve your problem. The solution first divides the SURNAME column, of both df1 and df2, into two surnames to check for individual matches (see df1_bis and df2_bis). Then, it cycles over all the entries of df2 to check if the exact NAME is not found in df1 and if at least one surname of each entry of df2 is found in df1. If these two conditions are met, it afterwards check if the CITY and STATE of these entries match in df1 and df2. If this is the case, then it assigns familyDummy as 1, if not, as 0.

This is NOT a blog about how much I love the soft balls of baked dough that are usually and customarily slathered with butter or drenched in gravy. Although, if I were inclined to eat such things, I may be persuaded to write a blog about that very subject…this is just NOT that blog.
Let me paint a picture by telling you that my husband Lang and I often take our dog, Biscuits (now you can see where the title to this blog may be going, right?) for a walk, from our house, along the water, and then down to the local coffee shop. It's one of my favorite things to do! I love walking hand in hand with Lang, sometimes chatting about our day, sometimes just admiring the scenery in silence (ummmm….rarely, if you know Lang or me, you know we both like to talk).
This particular day, there had been a power outage in town, causing our normal coffee shop to close for the rest of the afternoon. So, we ventured down the street (since we live in Washington, coffee capital of the world!!) to another local coffee shop to indulge in our normal caffeinated goodness. It was a bit on the chilly side, but the coffee shop had their store front wide opened. In order for one of us to not have to stand outside while the other ordered our coffee, Lang asked the Barista if we could bring Biscuits inside. Without hesitation she said, "Sure, no problem!" I wasn't too surprised, as there is a homeless man that frequents that coffee shop and has a "shoulder cat" (you know, a cat that sits on his shoulder like a parrot) … So, I happily walked inside. As I was waiting for our coffee, Biscuits decided that she wanted to express her opinion and let her presence be known to those around us. This is NOT uncommon (she's talkative, just like Lang and I)! I didn't observe anyone being bothered by her few little barks, but apparently someone was, because a gentleman, enjoying his coffee with a friend, spouse, sister, whatever…another lady, said (rather curtly), "Would you take your dog outside?!" I was a bit caught off guard, and my inner critic started in on me. She said (my inner critic that is), "Why didn't you notice that Biscuits was bothering someone? Why didn't you stop her before it became an issue? You shouldn't have brought her inside! What do those people now think of me? " All of the sudden, it went from a pleasant afternoon walk to our local coffee shop to a lesson in beating myself up for no real reason, other than my dog bothering someone, who (not so kindly) let me know! Of course, I apologized and immediately proceeded outside. I continued the process of mentally beating myself up as we began to walk back home.
However, within 5 minutes of leaving the coffee shop, lattes in hand, a lady came up behind us and began to dote over Biscuits, telling us a story of a neighbor, which she once had, with a very similar looking dog and how much she adored that dog. She told us, with great joy in her voice, what a pleasant experience that was. She even ended the story by telling us what great job we were doing with Biscuits! And BAM…Just like that, I couldn't care less what Mr. Grumpy McGrumperson, in the coffee shop, had thought about us and our adorable, precious little rescue pup! Without even knowing it, she completely turned my sadness into joy! Now, an argument could be made for me simply being overly sensitive. Certainly, I should not have let one person's disapproval bother me so much. But, that's not my point.
There have been many, many times that I've wanted to say something kind to someone, but I have NOT…whether it's because I'm not sure how it might be received, or it sounds silly, or it's not important enough to say…the list could go on and on. I'm not saying that I NEVER say kind things to strangers. I actually think I do that pretty often, but I could definitely do it more!
This whole sequence of events, reminded me of a MUCH more intense situation that I experienced, with my daughter and granddaughter, several years ago, while traveling to San Diego for a marathon. I was running the marathon and my daughter and granddaughter were coming to support me (and go to the zoo)! My 2 ½ year old granddaughter did great on the first leg of our trip, from Seattle to Phoenix! However, when we switched planes, for the final leg of our journey, she was NOT happy. She refused to buckle her seat belt, and did everything in her two year old might to express her discontentment with the airline's rule that everyone must be buckled up safely and securely! She continued to battle my daughter and me for 30 of the 45 minutes of our connecting flight to San Diego. By the end of the flight, my daughter was humiliated and exhausted from the mini-war with my granddaughter! She could not help notice the judgmental comments and disapproving looks of some of the other passengers. I can certainly understand their frustration. If you've even been on a flight with an unhappy baby or toddler next to you, it's no fun at all! As we were exiting the plane (my daughter in tears, my granddaughter all smiles), a fellow passenger, who had been sitting directly across from us, said, "Don't worry mama, you're doing a great job!" OK…NOW….let the floodgates open, right?!
Now, I have NO idea who that person was (I'm inclined to consider him an angel), but it really doesn't matter. All that matters is that my daughter went from feeling like she was the worst mom EVER, and everyone was judging her…to feeling like someone may have actually understood what she was going through. Now, can you imagine how the person on the plane who had made negative remarks felt, after hearing those kind words spoken to my daughter?
Interestingly enough, the lady that doted over Biscuits and complimented us on our "dog owner" abilities probably didn't know that my feelings were just hurt by someone that (most likely) was just having a bad moment in his day. Who knows what he was going through at the very moment, had been through previously that day, that week, that month, or even what had happened to him in his life. The point being that we don't know what others have experienced or what kind of day they're having or even what kind of life tragedies they've endured. We can only "judge" (and not accurately) the moment in which we are cognizant. It's been said, "Everyone is fighting a battle", and I believe that's true.
In a world that is full of judgment, hatred, exclusivity and anger, what can WE do to make a small difference in the life of someone? It's easy to judge, get angry, fight back. It takes a bit more effort to look for the good in people, not react, and choose peace over violence. Perhaps there's a risk of it not being well received or rejected (the topic of another blog)? I believe it to be well worth the risk for the opportunity to change someone's day, don't you think? What does it cost us to do that? Not one red cent! Barely ANY time at all!
I'd love to hear of your personal experiences of giving or receiving such a gift…a gift of kind words.

The entire human body and all of its internal and external organs are covered with epithelial tissue. These protective tissue clusters are packed very close together, with little to no space between cells.
Epithelial tissue is what makes human skin waterproof. There are eight types of epithelial tissues, including transitional cells that line the bladder, simple cuboidal cells found in the kidneys, and stratified squamous cells that line the skin, throat and esophagus.
Epithelial tissue is different from connective, muscle and nervous tissue because each cell is polarized, attached to one another, and is attached by a basement membrane to underlying tissue. Malignant pleural mesothelioma cancer is by far the most common epithelioid-related diagnosis. It comprises 75 percent of all mesothelioma cases, according to the American Cancer Society.
Occupational exposure to asbestos is directly related to more than 90 percent of these cases. Asbestos is inhaled and the sharp fibers literally dig into the epithelial tissue lining the lungs. The inflammation caused by the asbestos fibers leads to malignancy.
The latency period can range anywhere from 15 to 60 years. This is why mesothelioma mostly affects older people. Those diagnosed with papillary mesothelioma in the age 30 to 40 range were usually exposed to asbestos as children in some way. An epithelioid mesothelioma diagnosis is difficult for doctors simply because many of the symptoms resemble common ailments.
Chest pain, shortness of breath, unexplained weight loss, and a chronic cough. Doctors will first determine any history of asbestos exposure with the patient. It then comes down to diagnosing the type of mesothelioma, then the affected cell type (i.e. epithelioid).
A computerized tomography (CT) scan is useful for pinpointing, among other things, nodular pleural thickening and mediastinal pleural involvement. These are sure signs of pleural mesothelioma.
Immunohistochemistry, a procedure used to differentiate between malignant mesothelioma and other cancers, may also be used for determine a positive diagnosis. Needle and cytology biopsies are sometimes used, but can be ineffective due to the small sample sizes derived thereof.
The treatments available and prognosis for epithelioid mesothelioma depends entirely on the stage and location. A 1994 study published in the European Respiratory Journal found that stage 1 patients lived for 359 days after diagnosis. Stage 3 and 4 patients lived for 112 days on average.
A 2011 University of South Wales (Australia) study found that estrogen receptors in women may suppress the development of tumors, giving females a longer prognosis than men. Younger patients also tend to live longer due to more treatment options being available to them.
Epithelioid mesothelioma accounts for a vast majority of diagnosis, thus there are more treatments available and a longer prognosis. Some combination of surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy (also called multimodal therapies) is normally the course of action to attack the cancer.
A multimodal treatment may include an extrapleural pneumonectomy (surgical removal of the affected lung, along with parts of the chest and heart lining), then localized radiation to reduce the risk of recurrence. The current relative five-year survival rate for mesothelioma patients is nearly 10 percent, which is significantly higher than the rate in the 1980s.
Anyone who believes they were exposed to asbestos at any point in their lives to see a doctor even if symptoms seem minor. The sooner the diagnosis, the longer the prognosis.
Sarcomatoid mesothelioma comprises only 7 to 20 percent of all new diagnoses in the U.S., making it the least common form. It is also the most aggressive and deadliest of the three histological cell types.
A 2002 study of 108 sarcomatoid renal cell carcinoma patients at the University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center, found that metastasis (spreading of the cancer) was present in 77 percent of them.
Sarcomatoid cells affect supportive tissue, like bones, muscles, and cartilage as opposed to the membranous tissue affected by epithelioid diagnoses.
Sarcomatoid mesothelioma, like all other forms of the disease, is caused by exposure to asbestos. The cells are less uniform in structure and have a far more random arrangement than their epithelioid counterparts. The cells are oval-shaped, much like a spindle, and contain no nucleus.
There are three variants of sarcomatoid cells: transitional, lymphohistiocytosis, and desmoplastic. Transitional cells are termed as such because it is difficult for doctors to distinguish between from metastatic carcinoma cells.
They closely resemble a maturation stage between the extremes of surface mesothelium and the reactive potential of injured serosal tissue, according to a study published in the journal Clinics in Laboratory Medicine in 1987. Lymphohistiocytic is an extremely rare subtype making up only 1 percent of all asbestos-related cancers.
Tumors consisting of thick bundles of inflamed white blood cells, histiocytes, and plasma cells are the main characteristics of this type. It is often misdiagnosed as lymphoma. Desmoplastic cells were first discovered in 1980. These patternless cells can remain undetected until they spread to adipose tissue in the chest wall.
The resemblance between various malignant and benign conditions to sarcomatoid tumors makes diagnosis extremely difficult for doctors. Some of the more common initial misdiagnosis include fibrosarcoma, localized fibrous tumors and malignant fibrous histiocytoma.
Doctors will first determine if the patient has a history of occupational asbestos exposure. An MRI, CT scan, or some other imaging test is administered to determine if any abnormalities are present. A study published in the journal Modern Pathology in 2010 documented 326 cases of sarcomatoid mesothelioma.
Nearly every patient (98 percent) had pleural tumors, located in the fluid between the chest wall and lungs. Tissue samples via a biopsy are taken to determine the cell type. The traditional methods of biopsies, mainly the "needle core," are ineffective for diagnosing sarcomatoid mesothelioma because of its aforementioned similarities to other conditions.
The samples are generally too small, which only increase the chance of misdiagnosis and being given improper treatments and wasting valuable time. Immunohistochemistry is the best procedure for an accurate diagnosis. The technique involves tissue-staining and studying the reactions between certain antibodies and the proteins derived from the tissue samples. But because of the three variants of cells, a proper diagnosis is extremely difficult even with this technique. A second and even third opinion is recommended for the most accurate diagnosis.
Unfortunately sarcomatoid mesothelioma is highly resistant to most of the current available treatment options. Thus the median survival rate is less than six months. Some younger patients and those with otherwise good health can live longer. Surgery is highly ineffective to treat sarcomatoid mesothelioma due to metastasis in the chest cavity, making them extremely difficult to safely remove. Chemotherapy has also proven to be highly ineffective fighting sarcomatoid mesothelioma.
The disease is rare, so clinical trials are few and far between for testing new treatments. A 2006 study published in the journal Free Radical Biology and Medicine found that sodium selenite can be effective in treating sarcomatoid mesothelioma. The research suggests that selenite induces apoptosis (programmed death) of the cancer cells. The selenite activated a protein in the sarcomatous cells called Bax, which promotes cell death. The treatment, however, is still in the experimental stages and more tests are needed. If you are suffering symptoms such as shortness of breath, unexplained weight loss, and/or a chronic cough, see a doctor right away.
Biphasic mesothelioma cases have physical characteristics of both epithelioid and sarcomatoid mesothelioma. The previous are continuous square-shaped malignant cells with a nucleus, while the latter are oval-shaped with no identifiable nucleus. Biphasic mesothelioma is most common in pleural patients. Approximately 20-35 percent of all mesothelioma cases are classified as biphasic, making it the second-most common type of the disease. Though both types of malignant cells are found in biphasic patients, they are usually in different areas of the tumor.
Like all other forms of mesothelioma, visible symptoms for biphasic patients can take 15-60 years to show up after asbestos-exposure. Some of the most common symptoms include lower back pain, trouble swallowing, shortness of breath, swollen arms and face, and pain in the chest area. The prolonged latency period, along with common symptoms resembling other minor ailments, are the primary reasons biphasic mesothelioma is usually not diagnosed until stage 3 or 4.
Biphasic mesothelioma is difficult to diagnose due to inadequate tissue sample sizes taken by typical biopsies. A 2012 study by the Department of Pathology at the Thessaloniki (Greece) General Hospital found that even using immunohistochemical and morphological methods could not definitively clarify whether a patient suffered from reactive mesothelial proliferations or biphasic pleural mesothelioma.
Another study published in the March 2011 Journal of Thoracic Oncology found that of 19 patients initially diagnosed with biphasic mesothelioma, only five were correctly diagnosed at final review. Most of those patients were initially diagnosed as biphasic before extrapleural pneumonectomy (surgical removal of a lung) with a thoracoscopy or CT scan.
Surgical biopsies are generally the most accurate, as doctors can examine a larger part of the tumor from several different areas. This helps rule out synovial sarcomas and carcinosarcomas, which are easy to mistake for biphasic mesothelioma. Fujirebio Diagnostics, a Japan-based bio-tech firm, recently developed an in vitro test called MESOMARK.
It could potentially identify biphasic mesothelioma at earlier stages to increase the number of treatment options available. Regardless of the methods used in diagnosis, a second opinion is highly recommended if biphasic mesothelioma is the initial diagnosis.
Unfortunately due to the the fact biphasic mesothelioma is usually not detected until stage 3 or later, there are few effective treatments available. The most important factor when determining treatments is the ratio between epithelioid and sarcomatoid cells. Malignant epithelial cells are far more responsive to treatment than sarcomatoid cells.
Patients with more epithelial cells will have more options for treatments and a brighter outlook. Chemotherapy and radiation are sometimes administered, while most other treatments focus solely on pain management and relief from other symptoms.
A study published this year in the Slovak Academy of Sciences journal Neoplasm tested the effects enzymes called carbonic anhydrase IX (CAIX) in identifying mesothelioma cells via immunohistochemical staining.
Though the data suggests that CAIX is not an accurate tool for distinguishing healthy cells from cancer cells, researchers said the use of CAIX has potential in diagnosing advanced staged biphasic mesothelioma. The prognosis for stage 3 and 4 biphasic mesothelioma is about 6-8 months.
The earlier the disease is detected, the more treatment options will be available. See a doctor immediately if you have a history of asbestos-exposure and are experiencing any of the aforementioned symptoms.


The cut or shape of a gemstone is key to its value, as it enables light to pass through creating its sparkle. In her "Johara" collection, the creator of Nuun, Noorah Al Faisal, honors two of these cuts: the cushion and briolette. The crystals disappear and only their contours remain in black gold tracing set with diamonds. In the space created, earrings, rings and pendants appear.


Kelantan is situated in the east coast of northern Peninsular Malaysia. I know this place as a poor and backward state. But this is where I was born and brought up. Though the people there speak Malay, the Kelantanese lingo is often not understood by people of other states in Malaysia. And the Kelantanese are proud of their lingo. This lingo is like a thread that binds the Kelantanese together – irrespective of whether you are Malays or Chinese. In this video, you will hear how we talk.
On 27 August 2010, Mat (not real name, H382), 62-year-old man from Kota Bharu, Kelantan; came to see me. He and his son walked into our centre without any medical report. I told them this is not the way we do things. I am not a village medicine man who dishes out herbs without knowing what is actually wrong with the patient. I need to read the medical reports, blood test results and see the X-rays or CT scan. So, I told him: I am blind.
It was not possible for me to send him home empty-handed. He had travelled a whole day by bus to come here. So, I had to do what I could to help him – blind or not.
Mat said he had a lump in his right neck many years ago. This had since disappeared. He was okay. But for the past seven years he had liver problems (?). I did not know what that meant. Anyway he had consulted a specialist of a private medical centre in Kota Bharu before he came to CA Care. He was told there was something in his liver. His son said, he saw the CT scan with a "big hole" in the liver. Mat pointed out to me that his abdomen was hard. The doctor wanted to give him chemo. He refused. His son learned about CA Care from the internet and decided to bring his father to Penang and seek another way of treating his father's liver. He also told the doctor that he wanted to come and see us. The doctor agreed and said there is nothing else he could offer him except chemo. Since Mat did not want the chemo, then he should go to Penang instead.
At his first visit, Mat presented with poor health. He was unable to sleep, had no appetite, bowel movements were difficult, was breathless after walking a short distance, and his abdomen was hard. He lacked energy and was always tired – sleeping most time of the day. Based on these presentations, I suspected that he might have liver cancer – a hepatoma? Mat was prescribed Capsule A + B, LL-tea, Liver 1 and Liver 2 teas.
Honestly, I did not expect to see him again! That is the way it is with many people. They come with their problems. Unload their stories unto us. Take the herbs for about a week or two and never ever return. They think we are magicians dishing out instant cures! I have made a study. Only 30% of those who come are serious enough wanting to find healing for themselves. The remaining 70% are just shopping for instant cures.
To our surprise Mat came back to see us again on 5 November 2010 – some three months later. He appeared happy and satisfied. And more important, he had regained his health.
Watch this video. The subtitles will help you follow our conversation.
Mat said he had regained his energy – not tired as before. He could go fishing with his son riding the motorbike, something he could not do before. His appetite was great – he could not stop eating. And he ate a lot. Three meals a day and wanted more but his son stopped him from eating too much. He was able to sleep well. His urine flow was good – strong stream unlike before. His bowel movements were also good. His hardened abdomen had gone softer.
This is an amazing healing story, beyond our expectation. My conversation with Mat that night was hard hitting. But I said it all with the "gentleness" of the Kelantanese lingo. So we all took it in good spirit. Mat got my points very clearly and he appreciated them, with no offence.
My comments for Mat that night were hard.
To those patients reading this case study, I would say the same thing to you. Just one reminder, please bring all your medical records when you come!

Many older adults experience a fear of falling. People who develop this fear often limit their activities, which can result in physical weakness, making the risk of falling even greater. To address this concern, Fairfield Memorial Hospital recently held an A Matter of Balance Program that helped area residents reduce their fear of falling and increase activity levels.
"It was a privilege to help these wonderful members of our community overcome their fear of falling so that they could enjoy doing the activities they love and living the life they deserve," stated Susie Devoy, RN, Director of Senior Life Solutions.
"It was a pleasure to share fall prevention and safety strategies with the participants of the A Matter of Balance Program. Awareness is the best tool for prevention, and I feel we provided this awareness in a fun and learning atmosphere which will allow them to live the most fulfilling life possible," stated Jennifer Bowers, PTA, Director of Therapy Services.
For more information on A Matter of Balance Program and when the next classes will be held, please call (618) 847-8298 for more information.


I work at a place where we use pet resin and have to unload the bags of resin in a hopper to be blown into silo's. The hopper has a ground wire ran from the bottom of the hopper to the metal frame of the base of the hopper. The studs that connects the frame to the concrete flooring does not go to the ground under the concrete. Further more I am hanging the bags with a forklift. After hanging the bag and returning to the forklift I am severely shocked, some days it's like the shock from a kids slide, other days it's like being shocked by a electrical outlet. Any ideas to disperse the static?

Selecting the right Microsoft Dynamics partner in Saudi Arabia is not only vital for the initial implementation in your business. It also yields ongoing success in your business. Below are some of the most important things to look for when selecting the right Microsoft Dynamics Partner in Saudi Arabia.
Obviously, experience is a big factor you need to consider. When you have a Microsoft Dynamics partner with specific industry experience in your area of interest, it makes things go smoothly. Apart from helping to implement the right processes, an experience partner with offer special advice on the best way to handle ongoing projects. They suggest additional solutions and process improvements to help your organization succeed with implementation.
There are different competency levels associated with Microsoft partners. Certifications are issued by Microsoft based on this competency levels. When selecting a Microsoft Dynamics partner, make sure their competency is in line with what you need. They should have the right wherewithal to handle your specific needs.
Some partners are more client-focused than others. The ideal partner should have genuine interest to help you succeed. Select a partner with excellent customer relationship management. They should be willing to understand the nature of your business and how it works. This is the best way the partner can help you succeed in your Microsoft Dynamics implementation.
During post implementation support, you will want to deal with a partner that has complete service on your needs. A lot of organizations need services in areas such as integration, user adoption, training, and customization. The right partner should be able to provide these services. That is the reasons why you are hiring them in the first place.
Just as it is with other types of business, proper communication is a major factor for success. The ideal Microsoft Dynamics partner should be transparent and respond properly to your needs. If they are too busy or lack in the aspect of proper communication, you should try another partner. This is because it will even be more difficult to reach them after initial implementation.
There are so many ISVs with good reputation in the IT industry. The ideal Microsoft Dynamics should have a connection with them. The software vendors develop apps that easily integrate with Microsoft Dynamics CRM. Some of the services they provide may not be included in the Microsoft Dynamics package. If the Microsoft Dynamics has a good relationship with these vendors, it will be easier for you to have the right app whenever you want them.


Everything felt familiar getting back on the water after a week-long break, except for this time I was solo. Luckily, in the first of a string of kind offerings from the locals, a forklift driver from Nor Lines in Finnsnes lifted up my Schiller Bike and drove it the 500 metres to the small pontoon which had greeted us a few days earlier.
I spent the evening with Ruth and Vidar, and the cabin owners Astrid and Ernst, eating, drinking and hearing tales of history from this area. Outside a storm raged, and I couldn't have been more thankful not to be camping!
The next evening, another 20 miles south and east, I responded to a Facebook invite to stay at a new fishing and activity 'resort' called the Jaeger Adventure camp, in Kastneshamn. Trond was waiting for me on the pontoon, a man shaped like a tree trunk with fingers so thick it was clear that he'd been working since the day he was born. Trond showed me to a cabin and then switched on the sauna before inviting me to join him for dinner. I started to wonder whether I'd ever need to use my tent and stove again.
The next morning was calm and I made plenty of ground, a relief after two relatively short days. The Norwegian coastline is long and it doesn't get travelled by sitting around talking about reindeer, but the conversations of my new friends rang around my head as I edged along fjords, beneath bridges and past salmon farms.
The next big challenge came in the form of the Tjeldesund, a narrow fjord separating the mainland from Hinnøya, the largest island on the Lofotens, which are a collection of islands streaming off to a point in a blaze of other-worldly beauty. The Lofotens are a pearl for the Norwegian tourist board but, mainly because I travel at 3 miles per hour and need to reach Bergen before Autumn sets in, I've decided to cut through on the inside of the island chain.
This decision brings both frustration and joy over the next two days. The Tjeldesund is famous for having extremely strong currents, sadly flowing northerly, in to my face. Their strength changes throughout the day and I'm lucky enough to be invited in for eggs and bacon by a group of families who stare open mouthed at my water bike as I arrive at their campsite's beach. 'You're crazy,' they all wonder, one by one.
Compared to the morning's conditions, this evening was sent from the Gods. The water was like glass and I practically sprinted past Lodingen and out of the southern mouth of the Tjeldsund, eventually finding an island in twilight and settling down on a beach as the Northern Lights danced above in a cloudless sky.
A 15 mile crossing of the Vestfjord was rewarded with lunch and a coffee at Tronøy Fyr, a lighthouse-turned-hotel perched in a glorious position on the mainland, and then I plodded on happily, making my way past bays and headlands, sheer cliffs climbing towards the sky to my left, the shadowed mountains of the Lofotens slowly becoming smaller as the Vestfjord widened to my right.
The next day I stopped for a coffee at a fishing village, where Tommy and Katalin keep a series of waterside cabins and rentable boats in immaculate condition. 'Would you like to stay for the night?' they ask, but the day is too young and I decide to push on. Ten miles and two wind-blown fjord crossings later I edge towards Nordskot, a deliciously beautiful little village which boats high speed ferry access from Bodø, the big city around 50 miles further south.
It turns out that I've landed on Mannshausen, the home and now resort belonging to famous Norwegian polar explorer Børge Ousland. And the young man who invited me in, his son, Max. I spent two days on Mannshausen waiting for the winds to die, enjoying the company of a fantastic, multi-talented team of volunteers who have travelled the world to spend some time here. Meanwhile, guests enjoy the most stunning accommodation in futuristic glass-fronted waterside cabins.
I'm sad to leave, but the endless islands of Steigen make for beautiful water time, and I only wish I could stop longer and camp on each sandy beach that I pass. The next day I reach Bodø and cross my halfway mark on this journey. 700 miles complete so far, the rest is downhill.

This maternity session was extra special because Chantell and I have known each other for about nine years. We met running around a brewery restaurant waiting tables back when I was in college. When Chantell told me how important documenting her final pregnancy was to her, I couldn't wait photograph her & family again.
The session went amazing and even little Haelee had fun loving on momma and kissing her belly for the photos. She may or may not have been motivated by getting to pick out a toy at target if she was good, but hey, whatever works right?
To beat the summer heat and to keep my momma safe from the scorching Phoenix June temps, we scheduled the maternity session for sunrise. Hearing Chantell after our session say that getting her and her family up at 3:30 in the morning was completely worth it, made my heart sing. The feeling was mutual.
I cannot wait to meet their new little bundle of joy and hear whether their baby is a boy or a girl! I still can't believe they had the will power to keep the gender a surprise for BOTH pregnancies! Incredible.

So What's Raw Thrills Up To Anyway? Pissing Me Off As Usual...
Nice, I'm watching the NASCAR race on TV...it's about time. It's at Pocono, the Daytona USA tri-oval. I keep forgetting to watch these things. Now Brad Keselowski wins (and is drinking a Miller Lite) and Kurt Busch just said "bitch" on live TV (referring to an altercation with Jimmie Johnson). And forget about censoring that word--if he can say it uncensored SO CAN I.
But I recently checked out a couple of Twitter accounts. Raw Thrills has a Twitter, oh geez. Anyway, here's what I got.
Justin Bieber on a Fast and Furious Bikes game...good enough of a reason NOT to play it now, sheesh...
Here's a YouTube video.
The Description: Employees of Raw Thrills, Play Mechanix, Betson Enterprises and Namco Cybertainment risk their lives to bring you the best games in coin-op...
WHERE THE HELL IS SEGA??? WHY IS IT THAT EUGENE JARVIS HAS MORE DESIRE IN HIS PINKY FINGER TO MAKE A GOOD RACING GAME THAN IN EVERYONE AT SEGA COMBINED??? AND RAW THRILLS DOESN'T EVEN MAKE NASCAR GAMES, GOD FORBID THEY ACTUALLY MAKE ONE NOW??? AND NAMCO, WHY ARE YOU STILL HERE??? MY GOD, WHAT HAVE WE WROUGHT???
There has been both a Big Buck Hunter and a Big Buck Safari tournament recently. The winner of the Safari tournament took home $10,000. Wait--$10K? Isn't that the same amount offered to those at EVO and MLG? Screw Cock o Doody: Boring Ops, Gaylo: Reach, and Starcrap 2; I wanna watch some BIG BUCK HUNTIN'!!! But no, really, Big Buck Hunter is the kind of game you'd see in a tiny pizza parlor arcade or in the front entrance of a Wal-Mart. Golden Tee, an underground competitive game, is treated with more dignity. Geez.
And now for the big salad. This is a flattening article if you're Raw Thrills, otherwise, it's embarrassing. Top 10 Secrets for Arcade Operators to Make Money.
Many survivors, such as Sega Sammy and Namco Bandai, were forced to merge and expand far afield into non-amusement territory in order to survive (despite which, their annual profit and loss statements still don't look nearly as healthy as stockholders would like).
This rocky history makes it all the more impressive that a relative newcomer, Chicago-based Raw Thrills, founded in 2001, has succeeded in a tough industry during a very difficult decade of consolidation and retrenchment. The extent of the company's success is impressive. Not only did distributors vote Raw Thrills top honors as "Manufacturer of the Year" in 2007 and 2008, but leading operators have named Raw Thrills chief executive Eugene Jarvis as 2009's Man of the Year. The Amusement and Music Owners Association of New York will present this honor at a dinner on Feb. 8 in New York City.
*profuse vomiting*
I'm going to apply this to SEGA....
Lesson 1: Learn your trade through years of hands-on experience. - Suzuki and Nagoshi have been making arcade games for years.
Lesson 2: Build a great team. - These are the same people who made Virtua Fighter & countless arcade racers so no excuse there.
Lesson 3: First be great at doing "just one thing." - Suzuki talked about "self-improvement" in his words of wisdom section from the game design book which is close enough.
Lesson 4: Be an entertainer, and keep it simple.
Lesson 5: Respect the hits. - Quoting from the article:
When RT launched in 2001, the amusement trade could not foretell the staying power of its games. But from the very start, the company has worked to achieve a style of gameplay and graphics presentation that attracts the casual gamer and holds his interest. Rather than over-complicated simulations, simple yet fun gameplay has led to core playability that keeps cashboxes full. In short, RT always remembers that it's in the entertainment business, not the "super accurate simulator" business.
....and...
If you're in the entertainment business, then you are in a hit-driven business. The U.S. economy increasingly has no room for "mid-list" book titles, "fairly popular" TV shows, and "modest sleeper" films. Either it's a blockbuster or it's nothing. Raw Thrills embraced this principle through licensing hit properties such as The Fast and the Furious (remember, it was a hit film before it was a hit game) and the Terminator franchise. RT was an obvious choice when a safe pair of hands was needed to bring the million-selling Guitar Hero consumer videogame franchise to the arcades.
Step 1: Make mediocre games based on pop culture crap.
Step 2: ???
Step 3: PROFIT!!!
Sega can't win here, they just can't. When they're making good games based on true blood, sweat, and tears, they lose.
Lesson 6: Build your own brand.
Lesson 7: Remember the basics.
Lesson 8: Teamwork.
Lesson 9: Market to your ultimate customer, the player ... not just to the next level down in the business chain. - These all pertain specifically to managing arcades, something that Sega surrendered on years ago (aside from UFO catchers).
Lesson 10: Get connected. - Ever since when did Sega meet with their fans? Other than ridiculous canned crap, like Sonic Boom at E3 or Nagoshi doing Yakuza promos??? Where's Yu Suzuki anyway??? Doing nothing other than
Bonus lesson: Stay focused on the future. - Does Sega strike you as focused on the future? Or are they just trying to stay alive, not looking to overtake anyone? Whatever happened to Japanese honor??? What a catastrophe.
So lemme ask you this--if Raw Thrills can crap out anything and it's a hit, why can't Sega? Two reasons:
1. No one wants to play Sega games because they are really bad and us Sega diehards are too blissfully unaware to notice this...
2. Sega is too lazy and doesn't care.
So shame on everyone, shame on Sega, welcome to the future of racing games--Fast and Furious and Need for Speed!!!
EDIT: Well, let me elaborate on what Sega should've done. Tomorrow, they can't just come out and say "We're reviving twenty of our IP's with 300+ man teams each," no, doesn't work that way. Maybe in the past they could've produced some more DC/Saturn/whatnot ports, treated them with more TLC, started with smaller games working their way up in order to raise their confidence and consumer awareness thus beginning the process of rolling the ball down the hill. Don't get me wrong, they've done this in the form of a new Yakuza and a new Sonic game (after six/seven botched attempts thus flatlining the franchise) and OutRun/Sega Rally Online Arcade, but that's not enough, it just isn't. Especially if you're a racing game fan like I am.
And they don't necessarily HAVE to make an arcade comeback here--home consoles are fine by me. Better that we get a measly Sega Racing Classic XBLA/PSN port than get another unique arcade racer (like R-Tuned or Sega Race TV) that makes a grand whopping total of US arcade appearances in the single-digits. But no, today they're in a crap position so they're in a bind here.
I expect some Midway fans to read this someday and then proceed to call me a fanboy. Hell, I tell you this--I played the crap out of Cruis'n USA and World (both in arcades and on N64) when I was a kid. It was fun. But now, I see through its transparency...
And one more thing. EDIT: I didn't find this on the Raw Thrills Twitter--no, they wouldn't touch this with a twenty foot pole. This is about Pinball and Williams Entertainment (which would later become part of Midway). Pinball lost popularity in the late 80's-90's. Why?
In 1986, Williams High Speed [a pinball machine] changed the economics of pinball forever. Pinball developers began to see how they could take advantage of programmable software to monitor, incentivize, and ultimately exploit the players. They had two instruments at their disposal: the score required for a free game, and the match probability. All pinball machines offer a replay to a player who beats some specified score. Pre-1986, the replay score was hard wired into the game unless the operator manually re-programmed the software. High Speed changed all that. It was pre-loaded with an algorithm that adjusted the replay score according to the distribution of scores on the specified machine over a specific time interval.
Basically, what Williams did was alter the free game thresholds, either by making them increasingly more difficult or completely random. And this isolated novice players and thus pinball lost a lot of players. Then pinball proceeded to die. Game over.
And what's sad is that Williams AKA Midway continued this winning tradition into Cruis'n USA, Cruis'n World, Fast and the Furious. Come in first, win a free race. Yeah, but the rubber band AI is so cheap that it's just a big tease to get you to play cause MAYBE you'll win one. At least Sega racers don't give you this free game BS--you play one again, win or else, you're happy.
You know, I always thought it was weird that people would stand in the middle of the road waiting for you...what if you don't stop on a dime? You run their asses over as they explode into packets of blood (Maximum Force-style).
Now don't get me wrong, these aren't the WORST games I've played. But this is what I say--Midway/Raw Thrills make cheeseball games. They ruined arcades for me...watching that Daytona USA or OutRun cabinet being ushered away for a Cruis'n or FnF game. Makes me wanna puke (again).
Oh yeah, here's some quotes by Eugene Jarvis that I'm too lazy to elaborate on...
I need to go back to sleep.

The whole Cruis'n series on N64 (USA, World, Exotica) are actually pretty good fun. Well i enjoy them anyway.
Eric4372 December 27, 2012 at 5:56 PM
Yeah I liked Cruis'n USA and World up until a certain point, then they just got shallow compared to other racing games. Never liked Cruis'n Exotica or Fast & the Furious then on.

EGT Drivers' Club is growing up, Premat and Reip are newest on the list
Marijan Malcevic
The EGT Drivers' Club, which gathers the drivers for the inaugural season of the Electric GT Championship, is continuing to grow up. Alexandre Premat and Wolfgang Reip are the latest additions to the list that have seventeen names so far. For the 2017 Electric GT Championship, the world's first 100% zero-emissions GT Championship, a plan is to have twenty drivers in ten teams.
Elactric GT Tesla race car
The 34-year-old Frenchman Premat has 17 years of racing career behind him. He was successful in all sorts of racing, starting with stellar single-seater career in which he won 2004 Macau Grand Prix and A1 GP title in season 2006/2006. After that, he was driving for Audi in DTM and endurance racing, winning 2008 Le Mans Series. Since 2012, he was active in the Australia's V8 Supercars Championship, winning the Enduro Cup last year and recently signed a long-term deal with Team Penske. He has also been involved into the development of Formula E and Formulec electric racing cars.
"I'm thrilled to be racing the Electric GT Championship in 2017. Being a part of this exclusive project is perfect for me. I have a strong knowledge of electric racing cars after previously working with a number of companies to develop their vehicles. EGT is a very exciting championship and I can't wait to be behind the wheel of their race-prepared Tesla Model S," Premat said.
Twenty drivers will compete with Tesla P100D in 2017 EGT season
The 30-year-old Belgian Reip emerged from the Nissan GT Academy, beating 830,000 online racers to earn a factory drive with Nissan in 2012. After that, he collected many starts with Nissan-powered prototypes and GT cars, reaching a peak in 2015, when he was Blancpain Endurance Series winner and Bathurst 12 Hour winner.
"My two biggest passions are racing and looking at renewable alternatives to petrol, so I knew instantly that I wanted to be a part of the incredible EGT Championship. The organisers are ambitious and forward-thinking, so I believe the series will be very exciting, with races on the best European tracks. I can't wait to get behind the wheel because I've seen how quick the Tesla Model S is and how well it handles! After completing the first fully-electric lap at Le Mans, I look forward to take part in the inaugural zero-emissions GT championship," Reip said.

Welwyn Garden City's Debenhams closure date confirmed
Matt Powell
Debenhams in Welwyn Garden City is set to close in just over a week. Picture: Charlotte McLaughlin.
Welwyn Garden City's Debenhams store has confirmed it will be closing on Wednesday, January 15.
Last month a spokesman for the company told the Welwyn Hatfield Times that the property reverts to the landlord on January 24, but that the store may close earlier.
There is currently a sign visible in the shop counting down the number of remaining days.
Debenhams announced the closure of the shop, and 21 others, in April last year, not long after going into administration - but the final date was unknown.
There have been concerns about its closure and what will replace the store.
A report by chartered surveyors Brasier Freeth revealed the site was offered for rent to 111 companies last year, but there was very little interest.
The report said: "The prospect of this unit becoming and potentially remaining vacant for a prolonged period would have an adverse impact on the overall retail circuit and the vitality and viability of Welwyn Garden City centre."
Following the report, an application was submitted to turn the site into 27 flats - with part of the building kept for retail.
At the time, Welwyn Hatfield borough councillor Anthony Dennis suggested the lack of interest from retailers painted a "worrying picture" for the future of the town centre.

Nicolas Roche takes first stage race overall win
Route du Sud victory is first general classification win for Irishman Nicolas Roche, as he heads into the Tour de France
Nigel Wynn June 23, 2014 1:53 pm
Nicholas Roche escapes on stage eleven of the 2014 Giro d'Italia
Nicolas Roche
Irishman Nicolas Roche gave his pre-Tour de France morale a big boost on Sunday, claiming the overall win in the Route du Sud in France.
The Tinkoff-Saxo rider's victory in the three-day race is his first stage race overall win in a 10-year career. Roche set up the win by claiming Saturday's stage, finishing with an ascent of Val Louron.
Movistar's Tour de France hope Alejandro Valverde was second overall at 45 seconds, with Michael Rogers (Tinkoff-Saxo) in third at 49 seconds.
"It was a magnificent feeling crossing the finish line taking my very first GC win after three days of very hard racing," said Roche.
"It was enjoyable experiencing my teammates so dedicated and determined to support me and of course, this is their victory as well. Surely, this was a confident booster before taking on Tour de France in a couple of weeks so obviously, I'm looking forward to it."
Roche was fifth overall in the Vuelta a Espana in September last year, and won stage two. He rode in the Giro d'Italia in May, but a crash on stage six saw him lose time and he finished the race in a disappointing 30th position overall.
"The low point of the three weeks was my crash in Montecassino on stage six, where I slid along the ground at 75kph and bounced over the kerb of a roundabout," Roche write on his blog after the Giro.
"Although it gave me an initial scare, I was super lucky not to break anything. I think mentally that day I was a bit disillusioned as I knew my GC hopes had gone."
Roche will accompany Tinkoff-Saxo's main general classification contender Alberto Contador at the Tour de France when it starts in Leeds, Yorkshire, on Saturday July 5.

Just Henry
Written by Michelle Magorian
LoveReading View on Just Henry
Winner of the 2008 Costa Children's Book Award - From the award winning author of Goodnight Mister Tom comes a new page turning tale. Warmhearted and full of period detail, Just Henry is a wonderful story of growing up and seizing life's opportunities. It's post war Britain and life should be getting better for all – and some things are. But Henry finds an increasing number of unanswered questions about his life and gradually, as he learns the answers, he finds his life is rather different from how it had seemed. As ever, Michelle Magorian gets to the emotional heart of issues.
Be sure to check out A Spoonful of Jam, A Little Love Song, Cuckoo In The Nest by the same author.
STOP PRESS: JUST HENRY TO HIT THE TV SCREENS AT CHRISTMAS 2011 ON ITV: Rising star, Josh Bolt (Nowhere Boy, The Be All and End All), will lead a prestigious cast including: Elaine Cassidy (Harper's Island, A Room with a View, Felicia's Journey), Dean Andrews (Marchlands, Ashes to Ashes), Stephen Campbell Moore (Season of the Witch, Thorne, Ben Hur), Barbara Flynn (Miss Potter, Cracker, Cranford), and BAFTA nominated actress Shelia Hancock (New Tricks, Bedtime, Moving On), in ITV1's new drama Just Henry.
Adapted by Michael Chaplin (creator of Grafters and Monarch of the Glen), from Michelle Magorian's critically acclaimed novel, Just Henry tells a engaging story about one boy's discovery that will alter his family life forever. Produced by Paul Frift (Instinct, Crooked House, Room at the Top) and directed by David Moore (Monroe, Merlin, Sweeney Todd) for ITV Studios, Just Henry will be filmed on location in Leeds throughout August and will be scheduled this Christmas on ITV1.
Just Henry also stars John Henshaw (Red Riding, Looking for Eric, Confessions of a Diary Secretary), an ex-soldier and now the Commissionaire at the Plaza Cinema. Pooky Quesnel (Scott & Bailey, Five Days, Criminal Justice) plays Paul's mother Mrs Jefferies.
Director of Drama Commissioning Laura Mackie and Sally Haynes, Controller of Drama Commissioning, have commissioned the 1 x 90 minute film, which is executive produced by Creative Director Kate Bartlett and Myar Craig-Brown - Drama ITV Studios. Laura says, "Just Henry is a really heart-warming script which follows the journey of one boy's discovery that will change his life, family and friends forever. It's rich with detail from the post war era and has a very sympathetic and engaging young character at its heart. The film will be a wonderful treat for the Christmas schedule."
Just Henry Synopsis
This is a gripping mystery-thriller and an insightful snapshot of time, set in post-war Britain. It's 1949 and life is bleak for Henry. He misses his father who died a war hero, and he escapes from his annoying stepfather and stepsister whenever he can and goes to the cinema - his passion.One day in the cinema queue he meets Mrs Beaumont who also loves films, and lends Henry a camera for his school project. Henry is disgusted that he's been put in a group with Jeffries, the son of a man who went AWOL, and Pip, who was born illegitimate; but he's about to learn that tolerance and friendship are more important than social stigmas.Henry will need his new friends when he processes the film and makes an alarming discovery.Like a bomb waiting to explode, Henry's world is about to unravel.
Just Henry Press Reviews
What the Costa judges said:
'This is a master storyteller at work with the sort of descriptive writing that is a joy to read. Just Henry is a soaring, uplifting warm bath of a book – a wonderful roller-coaster of a story which we all absolutely loved.'
Michelle Magorian on being shortlisted for the Costa Children's Book Award:
I'd like to say that I was delighted when I first heard that I was on the Costa shortlist but to be honest I couldn't take it in. In fact I felt somewhat detached. After all, what had this to do with the characters I had been living with privately for so long? Having finished Just Henry, all I hoped for was that my readers would be pulled into their story. That was more than enough for me. Even after I had heard the shortlist announced on the radio it still didn't feel quite real and the following day I double-checked the newspapers to confirm it. Now that it has sunk in I feel incredibly happy. To have one's story selected from a swathe of wonderful books means that not only has my story been enjoyed but more people will now pick up the book and get to know the characters that I have become so fond of these past few years. The Costa shortlist will also bring other books to people's attention too and they'll be tempted to read them. I've already bought two copies and ordered another!
Cally Poplak, Michelle's Editor and a Director of Egmont Press:
It's been ten years since Michelle's last book and hasn't it been worth the wait! Just Henry is a novel that challenges us to hold the mirror up to our own prejudices; a novel – written long before the credit crunch – that reminds us of that old fashioned value, resourcefulness; but, above all, it's a meaty, enthralling, Sunday afternoon novel to read with the whole family. It's a treat to have a new book by Michelle – and one that so brilliantly articulates the feelings of children as they navigate their way through childhood. I am thrilled to see it on the Costa shortlist.

About Michelle Magorian
Michelle Magorian is undoubtedly one of the pre-eminent children's writers of historical family drama and of books set around the Second World War. She may not be a household name but that's purely because she doesn't write as frequently as those more obvious bestselling novelists. Just Henry is her seventh novel. Unlike some authors Magorian writes when the time is right having first undertaken considerable research, followed by a lot of thinking time before actually putting pen to paper and then there's always the very important rewrites to polish the story.

New 52 – Red Hood and The Outlaws #16 review
By Andrew Asberry January 23, 2013 January 23, 2013 0
Red Hood and The Outlaws #17 is the best issue of Teen Titans that I've ever read.
Yes, this is a filler issue, but it was a fairly enjoyable filler issue. If you're coming into this hoping for Jason Todd's emotional confrontation with the Joker then you're probably going to hate this comic completely. Seriously, Jason Todd shows up in one. Single. Panel. Not a page, a panel. And in that panel he doesn't speak, hell, he's not even conscious! He's on the ground, back turned to the audience. Same goes for Tim Drake. So if you want to see what becomes of Jason and Tim, which I imagine is the case with around 90% of you, you'll be pretty disappointed and you'll be better off skipping this and waiting until Teen Titans #16.
This isn't Red Hood and The Outlaws. It's not even "The Outlaws" because Starfire doesn't play much of a role at all. Instead, it's "Arsenal and the Teen Titans". And I have to say, I think that it's a dynamic that works. Maybe this will turn out for the best and we end up with an "Outlaws & Titans" series and a "Red Robin & Red Hood" book, maybe it could be called something like "Reds" or "The Red" or simply "Red". I'd be all for that. The more I think about it, the more I like it, honestly. Seeing Arsenal take the reins and try out being a leader for the first time was entertaining and his character had great chemistry with all of the Titans. They brought out the best in him and he brought out the best in them. In short: Arsenal leading the Titans here was more fun than I've ever had reading this team. Not that they were really facing much of a challenge.
Remember how the homeless were Jokerized (I'd rather see the toxin be an instant and horrific death, for more of my thoughts on Joker's gas see the Nightwing #16 review) at the end of the last issue? Or maybe that was how Teen Titans ended, you get my point. Anyway, the struggle to cure the Jokerized mob is entirely what this comic is about. Joker set up this situation so it would keep the Teen Titans busy while he does whatever he's doing to the Bat-kids. He's even gone so far as to hand them everything they need to diffuse the situation. It's not very compelling at all as a drama but what is good is the amusing dialogue and the interactions between the team members and Arsenal. But really was this the right time to do all of this?
It's clear from this issue that a team-up between the Outlaws and the Titans can be great fun, but we didn't need it now. It's the Teen Titans story we deserved…but not the one we need right– you get what I'm saying. What we need right now is a great Joker and Jason moment. Jason has as much or arguably more history with the Joker than Barbara Gordon does so it's ludicrous to make this character share space with Tim Drake in the upcoming Teen Titans comic. Well, maybe ludicrous is going too far. At the very least, consolidating the attacks on these two heroes relieves a little tension from the prevalent "How does Joker have the time to take down all the bat family?" problem that this crossover has faced. But really, Jason should've had his own one on one confrontation with Joker. Jason's past is too closely tied to the Joker and shouldn't be watered down at all. If you want to consolidate Robins and have Tim Drake share screen time with another hero? Fine. But you don't waste Jason. Nightwing was the first of the Batfamily to weaken the "Bat King" so he's too important to share a confrontation with the Joker. Barbara, as I said before, has a major bone to pick with Joker so she should have her own Joker episode as well. So that leaves Damian and that would've been perfect not only because Damian and Joker have almost no history together, much like Tim, but because Tim and Damian interactions area always the best! Those two never get along!
All that being said, it's still not a terrible issue. If you can remove your expectations of it being a personal story about Jason then you'll likely feel that the price of admission is worth it, especially if you like team books. It is, however, rather poorly constructed and the artwork is a real shame. Timothy Green's pencils are really inconsistent. Faces, particularly those of the female characters, are always changing and hardly any of the panels have a backdrop. I'm a stickler for backgrounds. Setting a scene in front of a blank background is smart in some cases when adding emphasis to a character's actions, but when it happens constantly it comes off as lazy, hurts my suspension of disbelief, and makes the characters look like they are walking around limbo instead of Gotham. And what I said about the structure of the book, that's got a lot to do with these random cut-aways to things that have no bearing on what's happening in Death of the Family or the fight to save the homeless. There's one single page that, out of nowhere, takes us to my hometown of St. Louis to show Hugo Strange at a book signing. I thought Hugo was on the run? Weren't the police looking for him in the early Detective Comics issues when he was ordering his son around? Another single page cut-away was to Deathstroke, who, although my familiarity with the character is limited, sounded way too young to me. He introduces himself "I'm an assassin. The best. That means I get paid- lots of money- to kill people." There's something kind of adolescent about his speech that's more befitting the TEEN Titans than a grown man with such a dark past. These brief scenes show up out of nowhere and are never referenced again, reinforcing the fact that this whole issue is indeed filler.
Calling this comic Death of the Family: Red Hood and the Outlaws #16 is false advertising. Do you like the the Teen Titans? If so then you'll want to pick this up. If you don't care anything about team books and want an emotional Jason Todd story, avoid this one, wait for Teen Titans #16 to come out, and cross your fingers. This is amusing filler for fans of the Teen Titans and Arsenal but nothing more than that.

Meet Keith Axelrod: Managing Director & Running "Superman"
Keith Axelrod, Managing Director of Finance at The United Group of Companies, Inc., has seized our attention. From what he has achieved professionally, to everything he holds close to his heart in his personal life, he has quite the list of titles and accomplishments.
Axelrod grew up in Westchester County, NY. He prides his alma mater from Walter Panas High School and later completed his bachelor's degree in Communications from Charter Oak College in New Britain, Connecticut. Axelrod started at United Group just over six years ago as a part-time employee. He worked as an agent responsible for introducing prospective investors to United Group Income Funds to help raise capital for various projects in the pipeline. Since then, Axelrod has moved to full time employment as Managing Director of the Finance Department, and has been in his current role for the past three years. He helps to complete assorted types of financing to fund projects, as well as create presentations for those respective sources. Axelrod also likes to get his feet wet assisting United Group's Senior Vice President of Finance with investor services.
County Classic: a half marathon, 5K, and kid's 1-miler. This year is the 37th annual event. The half marathon course parades through a scenic route of farmland, greenery, and quite the number of cows. The Dutchess County Classic averages between 400 – 600 half marathoners every year and holds a record of 1,400 runners total! When Axelrod became President, there were only 600 runners total between three races.
Axelrod started running in middle school – he would stay after school to play basketball or go jogging with some of his teachers. Running became a staple when he was 46 years old, after his wife suggested he pick up a hobby to relieve the escalating stresses of running his own business. He started out running only a few miles at a time and gradually worked his way up. He shared that his first milestone was when he completed his first 4-mile run – and from there, that "runners high" took over. Within his first four months of running, he completed his first half marathon at a brisk 9 minute 14 second pace.

Ambati Rayudu Suspended From Bowling in International Cricket
International Cricket Council (ICC) on Monday suspended Ambati Rayudu from bowling in international cricket.
This has happened after he opted against getting his suspect action tested within the stipulated 14-day period.
Ambati Rayudu was reported for a suspect action during the first ODI against Australia on January 13.
"The player elected not to submit to a test of his bowling action within the stipulated period of 14 days of being reported for a suspect action, and therefore he has been suspended with immediate effect," the ICC said in a statement.
"The suspension will remain in place until he is tested, and can demonstrate he is able to bowl with legal action," the world body stated.
However, he will be able to bowl in domestic cricket played under the auspices of the Indian Board, according to Article 11.5 of the ICC regulations.

Playing Mom Says Identical Twin Daughters Are Complete Opposites: 'One is A College Honors Student And The Other Might Be A Sugar Baby And Drop Out!'
Mom Says Identical Twin Daughters Are Complete Opposites: 'One is A College Honors Student And The Other Might Be A Sugar Baby And Drop Out!'
Identical twins Shaylen and Skyler say they were close growing up – so close, in fact, that friends could barely tell them apart.
"My sister Shaylen and I went everywhere together and told each other everything," Skyler says, with Shaylen adding the two shared "a special bond" and could "finish each other's sentences."
But now, at 22, the girls couldn't be more different, according to their mother, Sheri.
While Shaylen is a college honors student preparing for graduation and planning her wedding, Skyler –who calls herself the "bad twin" – is partying, sleeping in her car, getting arrested for multiple DUIs, and according to her mother, living a secret double life, after Sheri claims she discovered explicit text messages with strange men on Skyler's phone.
"I discovered naked photos and graphic videos," Sheri claims of what she found on Skyler's phone. "I found nude photos she sent to people and had received from people. There were hundreds of text messages asking for money."
Additionally, Sheri found out that Skyler had created an online profile on a "sugar baby" website. Skyler admits to creating a profile on the site, but says she didn't know it was a "sugar baby" website.
"I was horrified," Sheri says. "I wanted to cut her out of my life."
"No, I'm not a sugar baby," Skyler insists. "If my mom thinks I was asking people for money, if it happened or not, it's none of her business. I have male friends and I have a sex life."
While Skyler has been arrested for three DUIs in two years, and has been to rehab three times, sister Shaylen says she is afraid of what will happen to her twin if Skyler continues living what she calls a "secret double life."
"My fear is that if she keeps meeting up with men that she doesn't know, someone will rape her or someone will kill her," Shaylen says.
Can Dr. Phil help Skyler get her life back on the right track? Plus, he offers a stern warning to Skyler about drinking and driving, and his message about change for the family. Watch more from this show here.
