The culmination of the indigenous teachings Pete has received over the years has lead him to the direction of the core message of the elders. We as a species are being asked to "slow down" and to "become closer to the earth", an origin of which we have come from and which we all will return. By slowing down and becoming more "elemental" we better our chances as a species to be allowed the privilege to remain on our beautiful earth mother. Hemp farming was the message received in early 2019 as the direction for Pete and his family to go for slowing down and becoming closer to the earth.
The Cannabis plant is a gift from nature that has been used for thousands of years in shamanic practices. It has been outlawed in our country for 82 years! Just recently we have been granted access to the health and spiritual benefits of this powerful plant medicine. Through the careful cultivation and respect of this plant medicine we are all being given assistance in slowing down and deepening our spiritual and elemental connection to our earth mother.

Lucy & Andrew are tree surgeons so they created a spring woodland theme for their wedding with little deer, Easter eggs and a splash of pastel colours. Their cake is to die for! It's so beautiful – with two little deer on the top and easter eggs woven around the tiers. Amazingly, a lot of the beautiful décor is handmade by the bride herself – including a handcrafted table plan in the shape of a tree with hanging fairy lights & colourful eggs.
Lucy looks absolutely stunning in a vintage style Watters dress with a champagne finish. Her beau, Andy, is the perfect country gentlemen in his grey wool tweed suit. The bridesmaids are all dressed in pastel shades, a perfect match for the season and the little jar of mini eggs on each table!
I've really enjoyed getting to know Lucy & Andrew since their engagement shoot on Dartmoor, back in the autumn. They are both really down to earth and lovely company. Turns out they are super creative too! It was extra special to share their big day as we've chatted so much since they booked. I couldn't have imagined it would be such a picture perfect spring country wedding.
Congratulations again guys – a truly fabulous occasion!

If you don't have a go-to digital marketing team, you're already behind in your industry. If you haven't figured digital marketing into your business plan at all, it's likely you're not even on the map.
Print media has become an endangered species in the marketing world. The marketing industry is evolving at such a fast pace that it has nearly swallowed paper communication. If you want your business to keep up with the times, you have to factor in a digital marketing strategy. With strategy comes implementation, and to do both, you need the right members on your team.
But who do you need in order to succeed in digital marketing?
Every day is a battle against your competitors. You shove and slash your way through the day, hoping to gain the trust and business of your target audience. Some fights you win, some you lose. When you recruit the right soldiers, you'll find yourself outranking your competition more often.
Not every soldier wears a suit of armor, though. Digital marketing experts arrive for battle in various uniforms.
We want to help you strengthen your army with guidance on the right knights to add to your digital marketing round table. Add these strong strategists to your digital marketing army and watch it thrive!
With the digital marketing world constantly changing, you need a marketing strategist and SEO specialist who will work together to generate a bigger bottom line for your business.
Years of experience. How long has this person worked in the digital marketing realm?
Industries of expertise. Is the marketing strategist familiar with the field in which your company specializes?
Management experience. What size team(s) has this marketing strategist overseen?
Hiring Tip: When interviewing for your next marketing strategist, search for someone who is not only an expert at what they do, but who also brings the right personality. Look for someone who will work with your team, not above them.
Extensive research skills. Keyword research involves gauging the popularity, competition, and trends of keywords and keyword phrases.
Competitive spirit. With a thirst to be first, the SEO specialist thrives in a competitive environment.
Passion for progress. Keyword trends fluctuate, so monitoring their performance is essential for success.
The seasoned SEO specialist on your team should hold experience in optimizing website content, including everything from product descriptions to blog posts, with the right keywords while adhering to Google's SEO best practices.
Content and design go hand in hand. One without the other is futile. Your content writer and web designer must work together, for the common good, to bring your vision to life.
Also occasionally referred to as the "copywriter," the content writer crafts words in such a way that keeps visitors intrigued and, therefore, on your site longer. When you hire a good content writer, you're likely to see a drop in your bounce rate as visitors peruse your website in search of more valuable content.
Your content writer should bring a mix of creativity and experience to your digital marketing round table.
Quality over quantity. A reputable writer uses only what is necessary to convey the desired message.
Imaginative mindset. An experienced content writer can add value through topic brainstorming.
Online writing experience. Writing often improves with experience. A seasoned content writer is likely to produce better quality work than a college intern.
Remember, anyone can write, but not everyone can write well. Highly sought-after content writers can adapt their style and tone to fit whatever type of content needed while remaining in check grammatically and mechanically. They also abide by SEO best practices and wrap keywords into their text almost effortlessly. These writers–few and far between–possess a clear understanding of content in the world of digital marketing.
Hiring Tip: Always ask for samples of various content types. If you're looking for ongoing content, ask for samples of blog posts, press releases, and e-newsletter copy.
With your other digital marketing team members working so diligently to direct your target audience to your website, it's essential that you have nothing short of gold waiting there for them.
In collaboration with the content writer, the web designer creates a masterpiece–the digital representation of your brand. What users see within the first 30 seconds of landing on your website can make or break their decision to pursue your services. A professional web designer will listen to your vision and then convey it through a user-friendly design unique to your business.
Attention to detail. Shapes, colors, positions--every last pixel counts when creating an appealing, easy-to-navigate website.
Visionary. A top quality web designer can view a project from various angles. This helps in each part of the design process, from conception to implementation.
Team player. Since your entire marketing campaign is connected to the website, your designer needs a collaborative mindset prepared for criticism.
Reputable web designers possess the skills required to produce website designs conducive to all devices, including desktop computers, tablets, and mobile phones. In some scenarios, however, the design layouts and/or functions may differ on specific devices (e.g., iPhone vs. Android). That's when your programmer steps in to save the day.
The tales of the graphic designer and the programmer are quite intriguing. They often cross paths with the content writer and the web designer, and in fact, it is not uncommon for a web designer to serve as a graphic designer as well.
In regard to content, words alone don't always convert. The graphic designer creates stunning visuals that captivate your target audience in such a way that they're compelled to pay a visit to your website.
The graphic designer focuses on creating visual content for everything from LinkedIn and Facebook ad campaigns to infographics for your website, so it is essential that this person understands your industry and the products or services you offer.
When creating infographics, the graphic designer often works closely with the content writer to ensure their visions align. The visual representations on an infographic should always relate to the written message.
Some graphic designers even dabble in illustration, drawing designs by hand. The only visuals a graphic designer doesn't usually create are photographs.
The programmer compiles computer code behind the scenes that ensures everything on the frontend runs smoothly and appears flawless. Computer code is a whole separate universe of languages, to which not all designers are privy. Because programmers are so well versed in the various code languages, they usually inform the rest of the digital marketing team what can and cannot be done to bring client visions to life.
Critical thinking. Quick fixes for coding complications don't always exist. Discovering the right solution may take some research and/or experimentation.
Patience. Code is confusing, and it will take time to comb through every line when searching for the initial issue.
Design. Programmers often have an eye for design, thanks to their understanding of the various computer code languages.
The programmer often plays the hero when a web page won't scroll right, an image is missing, or some other crazy coding issue arises, as well.
The conversion rate optimization (CRO) specialist is a help to everyone internally; whereas, the social media specialist frees up time internally and is the go-to resource for all social media communications and management.
Since every part of your marketing strategy aims to improve your conversion rate, the CRO specialist delves into each and offers solutions for optimizing your processes. An experienced CRO specialist can even develop an customized campaign that focuses on the specific marketing goals you have for your company.
Not only is the CRO specialist tech savvy, but also an expert at communication. This specialist provides explanations from multiple perspectives in order to accommodate the various learning styles and levels of comprehension. In many cases, the CRO specialist is approaching people who aren't as versed in digital marketing lingo, so it's handy to have this addition to your team.
Social media will never go out of style. Sure, some platforms have faded (*cough…MYSPACE…cough*), but others are thriving, and each provides different functions.
The ideal social media specialist possesses high written and verbal communication skills and is highly personable. This person serves as the voice of your company, resolving any negative comments and acknowledging positive feedback, so a certain level of trust must be established before you hand over all of your social accounts.
Hiring Tip: Ask your applicant what social media platform they see growing in the future and why, and which platform they see thriving. Be sure to ask what resources they use for keeping up with the latest social media trends.
With the exorbitant amount of data floating around in the digital universe, it is wise to invest in someone who can gather and explain it in laymen's terms. That's where the data analyst poofs in.
This wiz is highly knowledgeable in all things digital marketing and can break down data to show you and your team how your website is performing and just how effective your digital marketing tactics have been in improving your leads-to-sales ratio. This allows you to see in which marketing areas your team members are excelling and which tactics could be improved.
Working with the entire team, the data analyst can help the marketing strategist ensure the entire digital marketing project runs smoothly and successfully.
The members of your digital marketing round table often have connections. These connections can help establish credibility among your target audience and, in turn, boost your bottom line.
Developing relationships with partner websites is a colossal help in link building. When owners of potential partner sites realize it benefits them to agree to host your links, they're more apt to establish that connection and build upon that relationship.
Communicating via social media is a fun way for your social media specialist to build relationships with those who run sites that appeal to your target audience.
Guest blog posts serve a dual purpose–link building and expanding your audience reach. Content writers can pitch guest post ideas to potential partner sites and then include backlinks to your site during the writing process if partner sites agree to feature your company. Then, the SEO specialist steps in and ensures the content looks clean and optimized, including the use of proper anchor text. When connecting text to a link, the exact text must be directly related to wherever the link leads.
Remember, no relationship is meant to be a one-way street. However you choose to develop relationships with partner sites, never ask for a favor without offering something to benefit them in return.
Never underestimate the power of influencer marketing.
An influencer is an individual with a certain social standing, or sphere of influence, who speaks highly of your product or company. These days, many have large digital followings. Celebrities may be the first who come to mind, but many brands have turned to others like entrepreneurs, industry experts, and even popular bloggers to help market their products and services.
But what makes a man or woman of success a true influencer?
Take a close look at the brands your target audience follows. What influencers are those brands using? Who are your competitors using for influencer marketing?
But keep in mind that just because someone in your industry has a large Twitter following doesn't mean they're your ideal influencer. This person should also actively engage with their followers, showing interest in their likes and addressing concerns.
Members of your target audience may not convert for a number of reasons. Maybe you haven't built a strong enough castle of credibility within the community. Perhaps your digital presence is sub-par. Or worse yet, your website is broken and outdated.
Together, the knights of your digital marketing team can conquer those obstacles and help win the trust (and business) of citizens across the World Wide Web. Watch what happens when they band together to strategize and implement the following four forces of the digital realm.
It's no secret that quality content converts. That's why adding the right content writer to your digital marketing team is essential. Quality content is more than just words. It serves a purpose, carries meaning, builds credibility. Sometimes it's entertaining, but it's never dry. The content you publish should capture the culture of your company while remaining relevant and easily digestible for your target audience.
Your content should always be sharable. If you're publishing to your blog, be sure the post is accompanied by buttons to all the popular social media platforms and an option to send to a friend. You can have your developer install one of various plugins for social media share buttons and another to instantly distribute your content over many of those platforms. Shared content is excellent for brand awareness, creating an avenue for new visitors and, in turn, new business.
PPC is great on its own, with a potential to more than double your ROI. Add organic SEO strategies to the mix, and together they can lead to more than 27 percent more profits for your company.
Google Analytics is golden. You can see how your ads are performing in real time, which makes it easier to adjust spend and recognize trends to better optimize your campaign.
The graphic designer and content writer can put their heads together and work with your social media specialist to create ads that convert.
Gaining credibility through link building is another way to increase your conversions and win your target audience. This particular challenge is a quest all its own.
Two contributing factors of your page rankings in search engines are the number and quality of links out in the abyss of the World Wide Web that lead to your website. If your company sells watches, for instance, a link from an oil refinery's website to yours will do you no good. It is not relevant to your industry, so search engines will rate it as lower quality. However, if relevant anchor text of a link to your website is found on a jeweler's site, search engines will award you a higher score. This is where building relationships with partner sites often comes into play.
The SEO specialist is often equipped to identify link building opportunities, and a professional content writer can choose the perfect anchor text to accommodate link-for-link opportunities.
Who Will You Choose For Your Digital Marketing Round Table?
Building a strong, healthy digital marketing army is a lot tougher than it looks. Maybe right now your budget doesn't allow for every soldier. Or perhaps your current marketing efforts require only a select few members. Be sure to do your research before hiring for any of these positions.
Many will apply. Few will qualify.

Description: The story of a baby who is sad and sets off one day in search of a mummy. He meets a cat, a teddy, a clockwork hen and an uncle who all refuse to be his mummy but offer to help him in his search. They find a lady who has no baby and she agrees to be the baby's mummy. They all have tea together and uncle reads a story about a baby who had no daddy and this leads to another search until finally a daddy is found too!


The Northern Ireland peace accord faces a tight deadline. Only a few days are left until April 2, when British officials plan to transfer authority over the province to an executive body formed under the peace plan, whether the local parties are ready or not.
It has been clear for some time that they're not ready - yet. Their balkiness has one major source: an impasse over decommissioning arms.
President Clinton last week tried to convince Unionist and Republican leaders that they could get past this blockage. At a St. Patrick's Day reception in the White House, he reminded Unionist leader David Trimble and Gerry Adams of Sinn Fein, the political arm of the Irish Republican Army, that the lives of future generations depend on compromise and cooperation now. Mr. Trimble and Mr. Adams have since met, generating some positive notes but no breakthrough.
These men, shrewd politicians who have already shown a capacity for enlightened compromise, undoubtedly know the stakes. Long-term peace and a share in governance serve everyone's interests. But the short-term risks of bucking one's constituency have caused political paralysis.
If Mr. Trimble allows Sinn Fein to take seats in Northern Ireland's new Cabinet without first exacting clear evidence that it's ready to disarm, he might fragment the Unionists and lose his leadership post. Mr. Adams is equally hampered by his side's grim insistence on holding onto its guns.
That insistence must yield. Last year's Good Friday peace agreement may not have specified that arms would have to be turned over before Sinn Fein would be seated in the new government. But it clearly anticipated disarmament, and a team headed by Canadian Gen. John de Chastelain stands ready to oversee the process.
A little movement by Adams and the IRA - a formal commitment to start disarming in sync with the start-up of the new government - could be enough.
The recent murder of Catholic activist lawyer Rosemary Nelson by Protestant renegades only heightens the urgency. This Easter season's message of renewal should have a refrain in Northern Ireland's decisive rise from its self-destructive "troubles."

Case Study #1: I Need Help Applying to Colleges!
Though every Smarter Consult is unique, they all follow a basic format. Visit our public Google Drive folder for examples of the documents listed below.
Intake: An initial survey to assess the student's needs, the scope of work, and whether or not we're a good fit.
What is the Student's Mission? "I want to make sure I'm on track to do everything I need to do in preparation for college applications."
What is the due date? "Approximately Winter 2016."
What is the biggest concern regarding this mission? "My biggest concern is that I'll forget a major deadline and miss out on a great school because of something simple. I'm really worried I'll run out of time!"
What It All Involves: "I'm hoping to apply to 10-15 schools. I know 9 of them already, and I want to find a few more. They each have their own application due dates, essay requirements, etc. I haven't talked to my teachers yet about recommending me. I also need to prepare for the SAT and make sure I have enough time to study before my test date."
The Current Schedule Outlook: "I'm working part time this summer. Besides that, I'm pretty much free. But once the school year starts in August, I have team practice three times a week, Drama club on Tuesday nights, and I'll still be working one night a week."
A monthly calendar: listing all official and "soft" due dates from now until the very last deadline. Never miss a school cut off and make sure you're on track with things like drafting your essay, studying for each section of the SAT, and informing your recommenders. Available as a PDF or shareable Google Calendar.
Mini Check-Ins: Short monthly sessions to shake out the cobwebs, address any bumps in the road, track progress, and motivate the client for continued effort.
Personal Strategy Consultation: We closely examine the student's concerns regarding their performance and the demands of the mission. In this student's case, the Strategy Consultation revolves around: how to stay motivated when you feel like you have a lot of time, and how they can optimize their current free time to incorporate app prep as a weekly activity.
Implementing Change: The student selected the monthly calendar in a Google Calendar format, as well as a personal strategy consultation. Over the next 24 hours I put together a scope of work specifying exactly what will be provided and approximate time of completion. The student (or parent/guardian if they are under 18) signs off on the goals and delivery timeline.
Follow-Up: One month in, I drop the client a line for a quick exit survey of their experience and how things are going. The client has a quick question about something we talked about in the Strategy consultation that I'm happy to answer.
Follow-Through (optional, but welcome): Once the school year begins, the client reaches out again: they'd now like to go over the application calendar because they have added some schools. The student is also joining another club and would like some advice on re-working their schedule. At this point, we repeat from the second step: Proposed Solutions.
What's Your Mission? We Can Help.

Alzheimer's Disease & the Endocannabinoid System
CBD, THC, and other cannabinoids show promise for treating neurodegeneration and improving cognitive function.
By Nate Seltenrich on October 20, 2021
Many parallels exist between cannabis and psychedelics. Among them are the diverse therapeutic effects for which both classes of drugs are now being investigated, from fighting pain and inflammation to aiding treatment of some psychiatric disorders. Also on the list: Alzheimer's Disease, the most common neurodegenerative disease with as many as 6.2 million Americans living with the condition. (The next most prevalent is Parkinson's Disease at 1.2 million.)
Cannabinoids may be good candidates for treating Alzheimer's Disease.
On the psychedelic front, a review article published last year in the journal Frontiers in Synaptic Neuroscience1 makes a strong case for LSD and psilocybin as potential treatments for this progressively disabling condition. A study now underway at Johns Hopkins University's Center for Psychedelic and Consciousness Research and another published in 20192 by psychedelic medicine company Eleusis signal serious interest in Alzheimer's among the field's heavy hitters.
And in the world of cannabis science, the plant has been studied as a potential treatment for Alzheimer's Disease since at least the turn of the century. Today interest in the subject is higher than ever. The scientific publisher Frontiers recently issued a call for papers on "targeting the endocannabinoidiome in neurodegenerative disorders," recognizing the subject as a "hot research area." (The term "endocannabinoidome" refers to the expanded endocannabinoid system, including additional mediators, enzymes, and molecular targets.)
In September 2021 alone, three papers appeared in the scientific literature summarizing much of what's known about Alzheimer's Disease and the endocannabinoid system.
CBD for Alzheimer's Disease
An article published in the journal Brain Sciences3 reviews how the endocannabinoid system (ECS) may be involved in the development of Alzheimer's Disease – and how cannabidiol (CBD) and other cannabinoids may be used to help treat it. The discussion gets quite technical, but here are the authors' highlights of what the science from the last couple decades suggests:
Postmortem analysis has revealed changes to several components of the ECS in the brains of Alzheimer's patients. Expression of CB1 cannabinoid receptors is decreased, while expression of CB2 receptors is markedly increased in the frontal or parahippocampal cortex, "probably in a time-dependent manner."
Increased expression of CB2 receptors is pronounced in and around amyloid plaques (aggregates of abnormally configured proteins that are considered a hallmark of Alzheimer's Disease and cognitive decline), indicating a correlation between the ECS and plaque deposition.
Expression of the enzymes FAAH [fatty acid amide hydrolase] and MAGL [monoacylglycerol lipase] – which metabolize the endocannabinoids anandamide and 2-Arachidonoylglycerol (2-AG) , respectively – increases in the brains of Alzheimer's patients. So too does expression of a third key enzyme, DAGL [diacylglycerol lipase], which synthesizes 2-AG.
Given the modulatory effects of cannabinoids on the ECS, cannabinoids may be good candidates for treating Alzheimer's Disease. Clinical trials have already reported that cannabinoids might be useful for reducing some symptoms in patients with Alzheimer's or dementia.
While both THC and CBD offer promise in this respect and are known to be neuroprotective, "the concomitant psychotropic effects of THC pose a problem," the authors write. (THC's intoxicating effects are mediated by CB1, though the compound also binds to CB2; CBD does not have a strong affinity for either.) As a result, CBD has attracted increasing attention for its therapeutic potential.
Better than Cannabis?
Targeting Cannabinoid Receptor 2 to Treat Dementia
A second recent review, published in the Journal of Neuroscience Research4 in early September, takes a slightly different tack. Instead of focusing on plant cannabinoids, it draws upon many of the same factors linking the ECS with Alzheimer's Disease to make a case for selectively targeting CB2 (which does not mediate psychotropic effects) when developing novel drugs to treat Alzheimer's and related conditions.
"In the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases, CB2 agonists have shown promising results," the India-based authors write. (An "agonist" activates a receptor and causes it to signal, whereas an antagonist blocks the receptor.) "The experimental evidence suggests that they may be useful in the management of Alzheimer's Disease by reducing inflammation, tau hyperphosphorylation, beta-amyloid aggregation, [and] oxidative stress, and improving cognitive function."
The paper cites numerous examples of selective CB2 agonists developed and tested for treating pain, arthritis, inflammation, and other conditions by companies including GlaxoSmithKline, Glenmark Pharmaceuticals, Corbus Pharmaceuticals, and Eli Lilly. Thus far, however, medical scientists have not been able to translate early-phase clinical trials involving CB2 agonists into viable, clinically effective pharmaceuticals.
Gut Microbiota & the Endocannabinoid System
Alzheimer's & Gut Microbiota
In recent years the gut microbiome has emerged as a fascinating player in human health and disease. Disturbances to this system have been associated with a broad range of adverse outcomes including obesity, cancer, and (you guessed it) neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's.
Less often addressed in popular accounts of the gut microbiome are its interactions with the endocannabinoid system. As Project CBD explained in a 2020 article, the ECS serves as a sort of bridge between resident bacteria and the body itself, including the brain, by relaying signals back and forth within this symbiotic, mutually beneficial relationship.
In a recent review in the journal Life5 , a team of Italian researchers uses this same metaphor to conceptualize how the ECS may be key to mediating the connection between gut flora dysbiosis and Alzheimer's physiopathology. The two interacting systems may serve as "common denominators" in the disease, the researchers suggest. "The overlapping roles of the encodcannabinoid system and the microbiome…suggest that a novel approach such as modulating the microbiota via [the ECS] may provide new therapeutic perspectives for treating AD," they conclude.
Nate Seltenrich, an independent science journalist based in the San Francisco Bay Area, covers a wide range of subjects including environmental health, neuroscience, and pharmacology.

https://www.mdpi.com/2075-1729/11/9/934
Alzheimer's Disease is a progressive mental deterioration that is characterized by memory loss, confusion, and problems communicating.
Cannabinoids for Alzheimer's
Cannabinoids have been proposed for numerous neurodegenerative disorders. As a matter of fact, scientists employed by the US government filed a patent in 2001 for Cannabinoids as antioxidants and neuroprotectants, citing their potential for treating Alzheimer's disease among others.

As the iPhone turns
After weeks of iPhone bashing over unlocked units and demand projections, suddenly everything is rosy again with Apple investors and the iPhone after a series of developments yesterday.
Tom Krazit
February 28, 2008 11:39 AM PST
In the wake of yesterday's iPhone software development news, a few positive tidbits related to Apple's iPhone surfaced here and there regarding 3G support, carrier exclusivity, and shipment expectations.
First off, UBS analyst Nicolas Gaudois posted a research note--spotted by AppleInsider among others--declaring that Apple has a 3G iPhone slated for the middle of this year using a modem chip from Infineon. The 3G model has long been expected to arrive at some point this year, and could help boost its standing with European customers and business types.
Apple COO Tim Cook, believe it or not, still likes the iPhone. Apple
Secondly, Apple COO Tim Cook took the stage at the Goldman Sachs Investment Symposium in Las Vegas to reiterate Apple's goal of selling 10 million iPhones in 2008. Over the last several weeks, several analysts had gone on record predicting Apple would fall short of that goal, dragged down in part by a souring economy, but that was before news broke yesterday of the pending enterprise applications scheduled to be unveiled next week.
Cook also noted that Apple wasn't "married" to the exclusive carrier rollout strategy it has used so far in the U.S., U.K., Germany, and France. That could imply that Apple is thinking about adding other carriers in those places, although I still think it's unlikely that Apple will release a CDMA-based iPhone that would work on Verizon and Sprint's networks anytime soon. It could also imply that Cook is angling for a better revenue-sharing deal with the carriers already in Apple's fold.
The combination of all of these developments--the prospect of a more business-friendly 3G iPhone that could be available through multiple carriers--seems to have revived interest in Apple's prospects. After getting killed over the last few weeks, Apple's stock is up over 5 percent today, swimming against the tide of a broader downturn on higher unemployment numbers.
Following this company is sometimes like watching a tennis match. Or maybe it's closer to hockey, where everybody scurries around on one end of the ice before flying around on the other end.

Calculate lists of pair-wise shortest paths between points.
If TRUE, return lists of lists of vertices for each path, otherwise return corresponding lists of edge numbers from graph.
If TRUE, calculate paths only between the ordered pairs of from and to. In this case, each of these must be the same length, and the output will contain paths the i-th members of each, and thus also be of that length.
List of list of paths tracing all connections between nodes such that if x <- dodgr_paths (graph, from, to), then the path between from[i] and to[j] is x [[i]] [[j]].
graph must minimally contain four columns of from, to, dist. If an additional column named weight or wt is present, shortest paths are calculated according to values specified in that column; otherwise according to dist values. Either way, final distances between from and to points are calculated according to values of dist. That is, paths between any pair of points will be calculated according to the minimal total sum of weight values (if present), while reported distances will be total sums of dist values.
from and to values can be either two-column matrices of equivalent of longitude and latitude coordinates, or else single columns precisely matching node numbers or names given in graph$from or graph$to. If to is missing, pairwise distances are calculated between all points specified in from. If neither from nor to are specified, pairwise distances are calculated between all nodes in graph.

Oblivion is a disappointing slice of mainstream science fiction cinema that meanders aimlessly for little over two hours. I haven't much noteworthy to comment about this underwhelming studio project. Nonetheless, mainstream escapist genres such as science fiction have this innate propensity for allegorical pluralistic reinterpretation that can thankfully on some occasions salvage the cinematic dignity of those involved. Robin Wood was one of those critics that had this capacity to read between the lines of mainstream cinema and although I am weary of applying such a noble approach to a film like Oblivion since it is such a tiresome affair, I could not help but read into the film in terms of a latent socio-political subtext concerning drones, insurgents and Pakistan. What I am saying may at first seem a little far fetched but it was the ending to Oblivion, the one in which two suicide bombers defeat the master controller in the skies, that got me intellectualising the following hypothesis; what if Jack Harper (Tom Cruise) and the Scavs (code word for troublesome insurgents) are in fact an allegory for a real and potential insurgency that has appeared in Iraq and which may in fact emerge on the Afghan-Pak border which has claimed the lives of so many innocent civilians in drone attacks orchestrated by Obama and company. If I was to take this allegorical interpretation to its fruition then a source of validation may lie in the film's anti-drone ideology.
In the film, Harper is told by his superiors that the drones which he spends his days repairing are killing Scavs to protect humanity. In truth, the drones turn out to be machines controlled by an alien life form who have been programmed to kill humans. Drone attacks have become quite common in Pakistan and is an ongoing source of controversy that will inevitably be associated with Obama's legacy. America's war by proxy conducted criminally and immorally from the skies by unmanned drone technology is not only a cowardly form of murder but seeks to sanitise death as guilt free for the hegemonic perpetrators. Such a precedence exists in Oblivion with the drones targeting innocent civilians including women and children. However, the film offers a fantasy wish fulfilment in which a sympathetic rag tag band of human survivors come together as a mini insurgency, retaliating against the drones. Is the film covertly advocating the right to self defense as an accepted norm given the war like circumstances? If so, then it is an ideological proposition that would only come about through an oppositional reading of the film situated within a wider geopolitical context. The reading of an insurgent ideology is complicated by race as most of the insurgents are white aside from the tokenism of Morgan Freeman. Had the Scavs been more racially diverse and visibly so then an insurgent reading would have been much more explicit. It is the case that mainstream genres especially science fiction are open to endless allegorical interpretations and perhaps then Oblivion can lay claim to being Hollywood's first anti drone film. Too bad the film is barely competent.

Monna Lea 'Molly' Van Benthuysen, born in Canada on November 13, 1957, was raised in the small town of Moravia, Iowa, sixty miles southeast of Des Moines. Her renowned basketball career began in her first high school game as a junior for the Moravia Mohawkettes when she scored sixty-three points on her sixteenth birthday. At seventeen, she was selected to participate in final try-outs for the 1976 U. S. Women's Olympic Basketball Team. As a student at Grand View College in Des Moines, Van Benthuysen continued to set basketball records. She graduated in 1978 with an associate degree in telecommunications. While playing for Grand View she married Dennis Bolin and had her first child, Damien. The Bolins divorced in 1982. In 1978 Bolin was the first player to sign with the Women's Basketball League (WBL) when she joined the Iowa Cornets, founded by George Nissen of Cedar Rapids. She became known as 'Machine Gun' Molly for her remarkable scoring records. The Cornets folded in 1980 after two seasons. For a short while Bolin continued to play for other professional teams, all of which failed to survive the financial problems of women's professional basketball in the 1980s. She left the Cornets to play for the Southern California Breeze in a new league and when it folded after a few games, returned to the WBL and the San Francisco Pioneers to complete their final season. In the summer of 1984 she was selected to a USA All-Star Team which included former Olympians and professional players for a tour of exhibition games to prepare the U.S. Women's Olympic Basketball Team that eventually won the gold medal. Later that year a new professional league was formed, the Women's American Basketball Association (WABA). Bolin played for the Columbus Minks during the league's first and only season. Bolin attracted national fame when she was featured in Sports Illustrated in April 1981 and NBC's SportsWorld in 1984. Although her professional career ended in 1984, Bolin's strong commitment to women's basketball never flagged. She continued to promote the concept of a women's professional basketball league and conducted clinics until 1995 when she was hired by Liberty Sports (now known as Fox Sports) to develop and produce a Women's Pro Basketball 3 on 3 Tournament for television. Shortly thereafter, the men's National Basketball Association (NBA) announced its involvement in the forming of a new women's league, the Women's National Basketball Association (WNBA). Bolin was inducted into the Iowa High School Basketball Hall of Fame in 1986, and the Grandview College Athletic Hall of Fame in 1999. In 1998, the Naismith Memorial National Basketball Hall of Fame featured her career in a display on the history of women's professional basketball. In 1989, Bolin married John Kazmer; they currently reside in La Quinta, California with their two children.

Ontario summer camps making plans as they await go-ahead
Summer camps, such as Camp Robin Hood (pictured), are in a holding position and waiting for direction from the province as to when they might be allowed to open. Photo by SUPPLIED/HOWIE GROSSINGER /CAMP ROBIN HOOD
Instead of opening buildings and putting boats in the water, Camp Hurontario staff are at home doing virtual training modules.
Usually around the first weekend of May, staff start heading to the Georgian Bay site to get it ready for opening day on June 28. But as the pandemic drags on and timelines for when summer camps might open are murky, places like Hurontario — going into its 73rd summer — are in a holding pattern.
Ontario summer camps making plans as they await go-ahead Back to video
"We're doing Zoom, so they'll be as ready as possible," says Polly Marston, owner of the all-boys camp for ages six to 16. "Our staff training time at camp, which is usually extensive in a week, will be shortened. We'll do the essential safety and health drills at the camp and any certifications we can't do online."
The Ontario Camps Association (OCA) , which oversees more than 450 day and overnight camps, has come up with a task force to create guidelines that camps can use and "marry" with directives from the province and health officials. They've also been keeping an eye on what American camps are doing with recommendations from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Some of these measures include making sure staff and campers have access to personal protective equipment, reducing number of registrants to allow space for physical distancing, addressing what happens if there's a COVID-19 case onsite, and how buses are used for day camps.
"There's no doubt that camps right now are assessing very carefully the shortest window of time where they can prepare their facilities to deliver what they need to deliver," said OCA past-president Howie Grossinger.
"Hopefully, over the next few weeks, we'll get a better indication from the government where camps really fit in with their reopening plan."
Grossinger, owner of Robin Hood private day camp in Markham, said there is no cut-off date for opening because "some camp is better than no camp."

For Marston, access to testing kits is key for camps to open.
"They're saying kids are low transmitters, but the reality is they're coming up with parents in cars and parents may be asymptomic. Are we going to test kids because we don't have any testing facilities yet?" she said.
Both Marston and the OCA agree that camp physical distancing may be a challenge, given that kids are going to want to be together — that's what the camp experience is all about.
"I think social distancing just equals close the camp," said Marston. He's advising parents to register now, but says there will be a full refund if his camp doesn't run.
Premier Doug Ford hasn't given a timeline for summer camp openings, saying he's following the guidance of his chief medical officer.
Ontario Premier @fordnation just said his 12 year-old nephew has been lobbying him to find out if he can go to summer camp. Ford said he's cautious about reopening the economy and is asking for patience. Said he can't reopen while there are so many new cases & deaths. pic.twitter.com/M1T07cxdyK

Grossinger said individual owners and not the OCA will decide whether camps open when the green light is given by the province. Their member camps impact 400,000 children annually.
Sean Rodgers' daughter is registered for two weeks of camp in Muskoka in July and August.
"We're going to wait and see but are on the fence right now about sending her even if they do run them," he said. "She would stay with my parents, who are retired and live nearby. Less fun for sure but that is the only option we have."
The OCA brings about $620 million a year to the Ontario economy and if camps close, it will put huge financial stress on the operators.
"Like any small business, those camp operators are being stressed significantly in a way we've never been stressed before," said Grossinger.
"To go a year without business could be detrimental to any of our members."


Nikki Harris rode to third place in Superprestige Hoogstraten on Sunday. The British champion finished behind European champion Sanne Cant and Sophie de Boer following a muddy last lap battle for the second step of the podium. It's Harris' second podium appearance of the weekend. She finished in second place in Sint Niklaas on Saturday in the final Bpost Bank Trofee race of the season.
By mid-race, the front group had split, and Cant had established an advantage over Harris and De Boer that she would maintain until the finish. Harris led De Boer across the line for the start of the bell lap, and the duo looked evenly matched until De Boer dislodged Harris in the final minutes of the race.
Yesterday Harris was happy with her ride and her result. Today?
Harris continues her post-World Championships 'cross season with Middlekerke next weekend.


When Natalie Royer joined the College of Veterinary Medicine in 1983, she was one of only three veterinary technicians in the Veterinary Teaching Hospital. When she retires at the end of the month, she will have been one of nearly 40.
Natalie Royer, at right, starting an IV oncology treatment on a pet.
It is difficult – if not impossible – to calculate the number of hours Royer has spent instructing veterinary students, comforting pet parents and administering health care to animals. One thing is for sure; it has been Royer's life calling and she's enjoyed every minute of it.
After more than 33 years at the College of Veterinary Medicine, Royer says it is time for a new adventure, and while not wearing her scrub uniform won't bother her, it will be much more difficult to not see the patients, clients, students, and colleagues every day.
As a veterinary technician, Royer, and those in the professional field, are nurses in veterinary medicine. They play an important role in the health care of animals, involved in everything from assisting the veterinarian in surgery, wound care, checking vital signs, performing routine tasks and speaking with clients. At the College of Veterinary Medicine, technicians have the added responsibility of teaching students how a specialty service operates, and giving them day-by-day instructions in the specialty.
When Royer arrived at the college, she served as a technician in the Ophthalmology Service, and later moved to Soft Tissue Surgery where she worked in the ward as well as in surgery.
Royer working in the teaching hospital with a client's pet.
"I became quite good at disconnecting O2 hoses to see if students were paying attention, so much so that Dr. (Ralph) Henderson added a question about it on one of his tests," she remembers.
In 1991, Royer began working in what was later to become the Oncology Service, one of the most demanding and active services in the teaching hospital. For 26 years, she has cared for the 'sickest of the sick', working to extend the life of her patients and bring their owners joy, even if only for a short amount of time.
"Many of our patients don't survive, but many have a good quality of life for as long as they can, and I take comfort in knowing that we helped them do that," Royer says.
Natalie Royer talks shows off the Veterinary Teaching Hospital and the College to Gus and Kristi Malzahn.
Royer's impact on the Oncology Service is something that all who come through it have felt. She has been the comforting hand to those making life decisions about a pet's health, the 'pop quiz' expert with students before big exams, the kind but firm colleague wanting to make sure a patient is taken care of, and the voice of reason to residents, interns, and faculty during trying times.
"Natalie IS the Auburn College of Veterinary Medicine's Oncology Service," says Dr. Annette Smith, the Robert & Charlotte Lowder Distinguished Professor of Oncology and coordinator of the service.
"She helped train me from a baby resident," Dr. Smith said. "She was part of the team that started the Oncology Service back in 1998 when it was one medical oncologist (Dr. Bill Brewer), one surgical oncologist (Dr. Ralph Henderson), one radiation oncologist (Dr. Bill Brawner), one technician (Natalie) and one oncology resident (me).
"Since then she has helped to train and mentor multiple technicians, interns on the service, and oncology residents," Dr. Smith said. "She consistently receives the highest praise from clients due to her dedication to her patients.
