On June 8th, 2017 at the Economics Technical Institute "Odorico Mattiussi" of Pordenone about 40 students attended a lesson on Friuli Grasslands held by the Responsible for Communication of the Life Project.
The documentaries "Life Magredi Grasslands" and "Magredi yesterday, today and tomorrow" have been shown during the lesson and the publication of the same name in addition to "Pordenone's Magredi, the latest praires", "At school this year we promote Magredi", "By flower to flower" and "A protection network for Nature" have been distributed.
The Management of the Technical Institute on the basis of the stimulating experience presented subsequently a candidacy project fot FSE PON 2014-2020 Programme entitled "Act locally, think globally" to be carried out with the support and the collaboration of the Regional Service recipient and owner of Life Project.
If the submitted project is selected, it will be possible to involve some Local Associations and Administration in order to design some cycling routes across Magredi.
On May 28th, 2017 the Landscape and Biodiversity Regional Service guided a delegation of A.DI.P.A. Botanical and Horticultural Association in a visit of about 100 hectares of arid restored grasslands at Dandolo in Maniago. It was the first time members of the Association visited those that they could appreciate as the tallest meadows of the whole Padano Veneta Friulana plain. Attendands were excited about the results achieved by the Life Project, hoping for new insights to make this extraordinary botanical heritage still unknown to many enthusiasts.
The international networking conference "Environment needs LIFE for the next 25 years" was held on May 25th-26th, 2017 at the European Commission Conference Room in Ljubljana.
The Friuli Venezia Giulia Region's delegation attended the workshop on May 25th taking advatage of this occasion for exchanging information and experiences with other Life Projects beneficiaries both in Italy and in Europe.
During the round table dedicated to the comparison of the various Project's beneficiaries, some Officers of the Landscape and Biodiversity Regional Service illustrated the activities and results of the Life Magredi Grasslands Project through a poster specifically prepared for the convention.

On May 26th, 2017 at 20.30 at Villa Cattaneo - San Quirino (PN) a conference dedicated to the enhancement of Magredi and Resourgences area was held in a crowded hall.
During the meeting organized by the Pro-Cordenons Association in collaboration with the Landscape and Biodiversity Regional Service, Stefano Fabian and Pierpaolo Zanchetta spoke about the various themes recalled by the evening's subtitle: from the paths and itineraries useful to support "slow" tourism, to the need to better coordinate rules and tools to manage the territory in order to avoid bureaucratic paralysis, to the restoration work carried out under the Life Magredi Grasslands Project.
The evening ended with the intervention of Gabriele Meneguzzi and Vincenzo Sponga who illustrated how magredi and riverbed landscapes have always been inspiration for people and artists who, like them, have been working for years in the field of Land Art and specifically of Stone Balancing.
During the other days connected to the event "Between Magredi and Resourgences", there were hiking, biking and horse riding, following the guiding line of the enogatronomic itineraries for the discovery of local and natural products also with night excursions organized by the Cordenonese Naturalistic Association.
On April 22nd 2016, in Vivaro, as part of "Let's meet in the Magredi" show the Life Project and the related documentary was presented. The event, organised in cooperation with the local Ecomuseum "Lis Aganis" was attended by about 25 people.
On April 9th 2016 at the Spilimbergo Agricultural Engineer Institute auditorium the Life Project was presented to students and citizenship. A first map of routes and hiking trails and a calendar for the visit of the dry grassland natural aspects during the different seasons were introduced.
The map, prepared by Keeppoint, is one of the planned tools to promote a "slow turism" inside Magredi. The event was attended by about 150 people including representatives of the Region, the Mayor of Spilimbergo and the President of the Institute. At the end of the conference, some local companies offered a free glimpse of the typical local products.
On March 31st 2016 a cooperation with "Pro Pordenone" Association for the preparation of a photographic book of Magredi and Pordenone Resourgences started. The Landscape and biodiversity Regional Service handled a specific chapter dedicated to "Magredi di Pordenone" relevance and to what the Region is doing as part of the Life Magredi Grasslands Project.
On September 15th 2016 7.00PM, at "Gelateria-Pasticceria Montereale" in Pordenone, on the occasion of the Pordenonelegge.it Festival the book "From Magredi to Noncello" will be presented.
Stefano Fabian, responsible for Life Magredi Grassland Project communication explains the environmental peculiarities of Magredi.
HERE ARE THE WINNERS LOGO OF THE CONTEST "THIS YEAR AT SCHOOL WE PROMOTE MAGREDI"
AWARDING OF THE CONTEST "THIS YEAR AT SCHOOL WE PROMOTE MAGREDI"
A key aspect of the Life Magredi Grasslands Project is represented by the information and divulgation activities dedicated to grasslands' awareness promotion, with particular relevance of the environmental education project for schools named "This year at school we promote Magredi!". It involved 56 classes, more than 120 teachers and over 1130 students in training and teaching paths: during 2013/2014 classroom and outdoors workshops were held, while during 2014/2015 it was set up a specific contest for the creation of a logo and a slogan useful to promote the grasslands.
Sunday, June 7th, 2015 at 9:30 at the Region Auditorium in Udine there was the official closing of the contest with the awarding of logos and slogans selected.
Magredi and Life Project were presented on Sunday May 24th, 2015 in Budoia as part of the first Meadows and Hay Feast.
Also as part of the NATIRA 2000 DAY week and in collaboration with Prodenone section of FAI Giovani Association, on May 17th, 2015 an hike in the SCI "Magredi del Cellina" at Dandolo/Maniago was carried out.
40 partecipants appreciated the beauty of the place and attended the presentation of the results of the grasslands recovery remedial measures conducted on about 100 hectares of formerly fallow lands. The astonishment was great and generalised when observing that where until only two years ago there was only a proliferation of brambles and weeds, wild orchids literally exploded in bloom: a clear sign of colonization already in place by the most typical species of the grasslands!
During the week dedicated to the "NATURE DAY 2000", Thursday May 14th at the hall of the City Library T. Degan in Pordenone the documentary "LIFE MAGREDI Grasslands - a project for recovering Friuli grasslands" was presented.
"With their silence and stillness the grasslands constitute a unique ecosystem dominated by the presence of stones locally called "claps".
The documentary explores the environment of arid grasslands in various aspects gradually revealing how and what - especially in summer and winter - appears as a stony barren desert but hides an environment rich in biodiversity. Steppes miraculously survived at the edges of the Po Valley.
For this reason the Autonomous Region of Friuli Venezia Giulia is developing the project LIFE MAGREDI GRASSLANDS that involves the restoration of 400 hectares of dry grasslands on four protected areas of European importance.
The documentary shows the various stages of restoration of the meadows threatened by the advance of the Woods and the invasion of non-native shrubs.
Thanks to this initiative the basis for transforming grassslands from an abandoned place to a chance to preserve and enhance a territory at the same time unusual, extraordinary and unexpected in the context of regional, Italian and European have been laid."
The work carried out by the Primary School of Cavasso Nuovo in collaboration with the Region from which the publication " Magredi, yesterday, today and tomorrow" had been taken became a documentary.
The production constitutes the visual archive of the experiences carried out by the children accompanied by teachers and by experts in the Magredi area, a site rich in biodiversity and in rare habitat protected at European level, an environment and rural frame that uniquely characterizes our Region and that can become an opportunity to enhance, together with the peculiarity of the places, also its most rare and special products.
On Saturday 12nd and Sunday 13th of April 2014, AIAPP (Italian Association of Landscape Architecture) in collaboration with the Regional Service for the Landscape and Biodiversity Protection organized two days dedicated to magredi within the annual exhibition "Landscapes and Open Gardens ".
During this spring edition AIAPP selected one hundred places on the Italian territory where the landscape resources and economic development are coexisting in a positive symbiosis. Ordinary and extraordinary landscapes that could be explored allowing visitors to discover and rediscover the richness of the unique and unusual landscapes and their ability to be the engine of economic development in all its meanings, from tourism to manufacturing, through am unusual interdisciplinary connection.
On Saturday 12th at the Modern Art Gallery Auditorium at Galvani Park in Pordenone, Stefano Fabian had introduced the Life Magredi Grasslands Project, illustrating how the Region is doing to protect biodiversity and to enhance this landscape so typically Friulian. The day later the attendands had the opportunity to take part of a tour dedicated to the Magredi's territorial peculiarities with a visit to some local wineries and wine tasting rooms followed by an inspection of the "Magredi del Cellina" protected site with the observation of local flora and fauna. During the tour the restoration activities carried out by the Region as part of the LIFE Project and realized thanks to the fundamental contribution of funds made available by the European Union were briefly explained. The visit, as a whole, has enabled participants to better understand the natural and socio-economic impact of these such unique and biodiversity-rich "ppor lands" and to understand how nature conservation is now perceived not only as a constraint but as opportunity to move energies and to promote the growth of positive proposals throughout the local area.
Cordenons, April 11st - The magredi - Magredis in Friulian language - meadows, ancient and unique natural environment between Tagliamento and Livenza rivers, as subject of a new documentary produced by the Press and Communication TV Production of Region Friuli Venezia Giulia was presented at the Cordenons Auditorium. Considered for a long time as empty and worthless arid stony spaces, Magredi entered today in the European Natura 2000 Protection Network. They have been the focus of a project that involved Cavasso Nuovo's schools and the Regional Department for the Land Planning to work on conservation and future, rekindling old links with nature and with the culture of the land.
A publication first and then a movie have picked up the story, the testimonies and experiences of those who lived deep bond with nature and a difficult environment. The "once upon a time" that grandparents have told the children of schools has become images marked by the cycle of the seasons. An important path for a recovery of the values ??connected to the land and to the centrality of the efforts over time by the men who have kept what experts today are calling biodiversity, elements that are also at the center of the new Landscape Plan that Friuli Venezia Giulia is developing in a continuos synergy with the territory said Cordenons' mayor Mario Ongaro and the Regional Council Member Mariagrazia Santoro.
As planned by the environmental education proposal "This year in school we promote grasslands", on December 12th 2013 in the Region Palace in Udine the training day dedicated to teachers of classes who have joinedthe two-years project was held.
In the same day Stefano Fabian described the ecology aspects of the dry grasslands, the Life Project contents and the printed booklet with some cards for conducting specific laboratory activities in the classroom and outdoor; Cristiano Francescato in detail described the recovering measures and the monitoring activities inside the four sites involved by the project; Roberto Parodi has highlighted particular aspects related to the avifauna; Mauro Galdana and Raffaela Corrado have taken care of the part relating to environmental education; Antonio Cordenons proposed a series of images dedicated to the grassland landscapes,Antonio Cossuta finally animated a short final workshop.
During the day in addition to the three publications that the Region of Friuli Venezia Giulia dedicated to the grasslands, other informative and naturalistic material edited by the Region were distributed in order to allow an improving of the teaching activity scheduled by the project.
Tuesday, November 19, 2013 , at 20.30 , at the municipal hall of Vivaro , was held an information evening dedicated to the preservation and enhancement of the magredi within the project " Life Magredi Grasslands ." The meeting organized by the municipality of Vivaro , New Cavasso , Maniago was organized in collaboration with the Autonomous Region of Friuli Venezia Giulia and saw the participation of: ARPA FVG , ERSA , AS " Western Friuli ," Province , Coldiretti and Breeders Association FVG .
The event was included in the calendar of initiatives that UNESCO , in ? Scope of the week focused on sustainable development , this year decided to dedicate the " LANDSCAPES of BEAUTY ."
The evening also was included in the margins and at the conclusion of the Project Agenda 21 " Open Spaces " at the conclusion of what will be called the new Rules of Rural Police through the involvement of the population and local institutions .
During the meeting were discussed the ecology , landscape and biodiversity of the magredi and the remedial measures , as well as outreach initiatives related to the same Project Life .
The event also included the projection nature and content of photographs dedicated to the artistic landscape of the magredi . The intense and beautiful images of Sergio and Antonio Vaccher Cordenons that for years has been dedicated to the photography of this natural environment so special, have aroused great emotion and interest in the audience agreed .
On May 12th, 2013 the Hunting, Fish Resources and Biodiversity Regional Service, in collaboration with the Udine's branch of Italian Association UOEI (Unione Operaia Escursionisti Italiani), organized an excursion dedicated to the Life Project Grasslands.
The walking path has been articulated for about 8 hours between the "Biotope regional nature magredi of San Quirino" and continued through the SCI of "Magredi the Cellina" to the wildlife observation tower of San Foca (S.Quirino). From here the group of hikers, led by an officer and by a naturalist that the Region has made available for the occasion, crossed the bridge over the Cellina river continuing in the direction of the Dandolo (Maniago) reaching the place subjected to restoration.
The tour, in addition to allowing participants to understand the aims of Life project and the important conservation objectives that the Region and the European Union through the project have set up on the Friulian magredi topic, has produced great enthusiasm by all the walkers which declared that they never had been able to pass through meadows of plain so vast and full of blooms and to appreciate the value represented by the biodiversity associated with them.
During the monitoring visit on April 18th 2013, the European Commission's advisor Alberto Cozzi went, along with the regional Staff who follow the LIFE Project, in the places of the 4 interested SCIs to verify the outcome of the first restoration of dry grasslands.
on Tuesday, April 9th at 8:30PM, at the Centre "Alberto Pasquini" in Zoppola was held the presentation of the Project Life Magredi Grasslands.
The event was organized by the Region in collaboration with the Municipal Library of Zoppola and with the support of Free University of Zoppola, Craf, Eco-museum Lis Aganis, Elementary School and Nuovo Cavasso Grava Bike Association.
During the meeting dedicated to "Magredi of Pordenone" Special Protection Area and "Magredi the Cellina" SCI, Stefano Fabian of Hunting, Fishing Resources and Biodiversity Regional Service presented the peculiarities of the latest dry grasslands of Friuli Venezia Giulia dedicating a large space to the interventions that the Region is implementing through the Life Project also emphasizing the ongoing informative and educational initiatives. On the occasion was proposed an exhibition of photographs, taken by Sergio Vaccher, Antonio Cordenons and Stefano Fabian, a collection of unpublished and suggestive images and movies of the landscapes and of the unique biodiversity of the magredi.
At the end of the meeting, all attendees (nearly 100 people) received a free copy of the publications dedicated to the Magredi topic issued by the Region. The event was a huge success, so much so that some of the several people who came to the event, as demonstration of the interest that magredi topic is able to arouse, remained standing due to unavailability of seats.

Ireland's Oldest Student Paper
Trinity Business School ranked best in Europe for gender balance
The school ranked as the 2nd highest globally for gender equality among students
Shannon Connolly
In the 2020 Executive MBA rankings produced by the Economist today, the Trinity Business School has risen to 11th in Europe and 4th across the UK and Ireland.
The business school ranked first in Ireland, and scored in the top five places for gender diversity.
The school was ranked in The Economist today as the second highest globally for gender balance of students, while also achieving 5th globally for gender balance of faculty.
Trinity Business School ranked 13th place for percentage of alumni who have been promoted or grown their company since graduation, and ranked 4th for percentage increase on students' pre-EMBA salary after two years.
Professor Andrew Burke, Chair of Business Studies and Dean at Trinity Business School, said: "Trinity Business School has grown by over 150% over the last 5 years which, as far as we can tell, makes it the fastest growing established business school in Europe."
"This growth has been underpinned by a transformative strategy involving innovation, diversity and inclusion, a new state of the art eco-friendly building and a huge emphasis on high-quality leading-edge business education and research," Burke continued. It is great to see the fruits of this strategy now pay off."
He added: "Last week the FT placed our MSc in Finance 1st in Ireland and in the top 5 in the UK & Ireland combined. We now observe the Economist giving almost the same top tier international ranking to our Executive MBA which is 1st in Ireland and in the top 5 in the UK & Ireland."
Trinity Business School ranked 23rd in Europe this year, according to the 2020 Global Masters in Finance rankings produced by the Financial Times (FT), and secured first place in Ireland for its MSc in Finance.
Burke stated: "It is also great to observe our Executive MBAs' salary increase after graduation is the 4th highest in the world. This indicates an excellent return on investment in their education."
"Furthermore, it is truly wonderful to observe that we are in the top 5 in the world for student and faculty gender diversity on both the Economist Executive MBA and the FT MSc in Finance rankings," he continued. "That indicates the extent to which the under-representation of women in senior leadership positions in business and in the finance industry in particular, will be redressed by the exceptionally high proportion of stellar female graduates that we are producing."
He added: "I hasten to add that we don't do any positive discrimination in favour of women. We simply recruit the best students and faculty and so it is great to see that women feel nurtured at Trinity Business School and central to its community."
The Trinity Business School building was used as a venue for contact tracing volunteers as the Covid-19 crisis progressed. Contact tracing began March 31.
Director of the Executive MBA, Professor Amanda Shantz, said: "The Trinity EMBA provides an exceptional learning experience that equips learners to accelerate their careers. We are delighted to hear that our EMBA programme has been ranked so highly in this
year's Economist rankings."
Professor Shantz added: "But we can't take the credit; the learners and alumni that make up the Trinity EMBA are the real stars of the programme – it is their hard work, their passion for learning, and their commitment to making the world a better place that has brought
our programme to new heights."
In December 2019, Trinity Business School ranked 60th in Europe by the Financial Times. This was the first time the school had featured in the rankings since 2007.
Earlier this month, College ranked 101st in QS world rankings, rising for the first time in three years.

America's Architects Struggling to Build Carbon-Neutral Buildings
By	Jessica Peralta
IRVINE, California — Only 16 of 252 architecture met the 2030 Challenge from the American Institute of Architects to meet carbon-reduction targets to combat climate change.
"The findings of this new report underscore why it is imperative that the AIA make climate change a No. 1 priority," said AIA EVP/Chief Executive Officer Robert Ivy in a statement. "It's critical that the architecture, engineering and construction industries come together to take action on this issue today.
There is some positive news. The impact on architecture to mitigate climate change is undeniable. According to the report, for 2018 alone, the 252 firms reported data on projects totaling nearly 3 billion square feet across 92 countries.
Their efforts accounted for an overall predicted energy use reduction equivalent to avoiding 17.7 million metric tons of CO2 emissions — and operating savings of more than $3.3 billion.
But the year's average was GHG reduction was 46 percent — less than the current 70 percent target.
"This year's average . . . is the best in 2030 history, but less than the current 70 percent target," states the report. "To reach a zero net carbon future, we must vastly increase the number of 2030 signatories and the project's performance data."
CityAge spoke to one of the 16 firms that made the target, California-based LPA. The firm's principal, Keith Hempel, expanded on how the target was made:
"It's kind of in our DNA to think smartly about sustainability and energy efficiency. That's something that we've developed into our processes. We do energy modeling on all our projects. We try to understand the energy use of a building very early in the design process so that we can optimize our design solutions and focus on energy efficiency."
"We actually are an innovative design firm. So that means under one roof, we have architects, we have mechanical engineers, we have electrical engineers, plumbing engineers, structural, civil, landscape, interiors. So everything that you would need to do a building project, we're able to provide that to our clients as one firm.
"That integrated approach helps us bring people who are knowledgeable and understand the importance of energy efficiency to the table right away. We are able to really think comprehensively about energy efficiency and try to work with our clients to bring those strategies into the project, meeting their budgets, meeting their schedules, but in a way that benefits the building, the life cycle energy use of that building and the environment as a whole."
"First you have to understand what your target is. Before you can set a goal to exceed a target, you have to know what your baseline is. Whether it be a school project, or it be a fire or police station or a more conventional office building, I need to know what the target is."
"I think a common misunderstanding is that energy efficiency has to cost money. But there are actually a lot of things that a design team can do before they even start drawing the project, before they even put pen to paper … they can think about how the building sits on the site. Where are prevailing breezes coming from? How are they going to protect the building from sunlight, which brings daylight into the building but also brings heat into the building? All those things can be done very cost-effectively just by making good design decisions very early into the design process."
"Getting to 80 and 90 and 100 percent, to reach those (GHG reduction) thresholds, there is going to be a need for conversations between design teams and their clients about renewable energy because we really need to be talking about offsetting the building usage with renewable energy to hit those higher thresholds of the AIA 2030 Commitment."

Q: What is the difference between fontawesome angular package and standard npm package and simple sass I've a new angular cli(8+) project with sass(SCSS). I checked Fontawesome docs and have found multiple ways of hosting fontawesome icons (npm package install, angular package or simple scss).
I want to know what are the differences between them? Which is the recommended way for an Angular CLI project having sass.

A: When you install Fontawesome via the npm package manager it comes already with all the Scss files. So, there is not a choice between "npm package install" and "simple Scss".
The question here is more: Using the package manager or hosting yourself only the Scss files you will need in your project inside the assets folder for example?
Choosing that last option you won't be able to easily update the library version with npm.
EDIT: With this CSS/SCSS approach you'll always load all icons (a font file, which is a huge especially for FontAwesome Pro)
The angular package it's quite another subject. It's a new official package of FontAwesome. Instead of importing inside your project the Scss files, you can directly use FontAwesome Angular component.
EDIT: This package uses SVG icons instead and will use Angular CLI infrastructure to remove all unused icons from your final bundle.
The simpler:

*

*Install npm package or host only the CSS minified files you need,

*add a link to the file(s) location in your angular.cli file

You will be able to use the Fontawesome classes (like .fab .fa-twitter) in all your Html files.
Sccs import :
If you want to personalize your classes with Fontawesome mixins, you can import Scss files inside any Scss files of your project.
A use case:  a .user-button class that extends a .fa-icon properties and contains a Fontawesome user icon.
Angular package :
You will never have to deal with FontAwesome classes, but only import the module inside your app.module.ts and use FontAwesome icons as specifics component.

Q. What is the difference between the Northern Exposure tour and the Southern Lights tour?
The main difference between the two tours is that the Northern Exposure tour has more snorkelling time and the Southern Lights tour offers more beach time. We also offer a Double Deal for both cruises allowing you to experience more adventure for less! Both offer the ultimate in Hill Inlet tours.
*Please note: the tour itinerary is a guideline only and is subject to change depending on tide, wind and other weather conditions.
Q. Is Ocean Rafting suitable for all ages?
Our boats are suitable for any ages (weather permitting). The youngest Ocean Rafter was 3 months old and the eldest to date was 87! If you are concerned about the weather conditions for the date that you are travelling, or wish to speak to one of our friendly office team about young passengers travelling, please call us on (07) 4946 6848.
Due to the open-style design and speed which our vessels travel, it is very rare for Ocean Rafters to experience sea sickness on board, unlike slower vessels where you experience a slow-rocking motion that can cause sea sickness. The most common time for passengers to ever feel nauseous on the water would be when the vessel has stopped. We welcome anyone that is prone or worried about seasickness to take any necessary medication prior to travelling.
Q. How long will I spend on the boat?
The longest part of the journey is just over an hour, which is the ride out to the Whitsunday Islands and the return journey back to the mainland. Between the other stops the journey will be anywhere from 10 – 20 minutes, depending on where the skipper chooses next, given conditions on the day.
Q. How fast do the boats travel?
Ocean Rafting's custom built vessels travel up to speeds of 35 knots (65 km/hour) allowing you to experience a fun, high speed ride whilst exploring the islands and beaches of the beautiful Whitsundays.
Q. How long do you spend snorkelling on each tour?
The Northern Exposure tour visits two snorkelling locations around Hook Island, each for approximately 45 minutes. The Southern Lights tour visits just one snorkelling location around either Border Island or Dumbell Island for approximately 1 hour.
*Please note: the tour itinerary is a guideline only and is subject to change depending on tide, wind and other weather conditions. The sites that you will snorkel at are carefully selected by our highly trained skippers to ensure that you have the most memorable underwater experience possible for the conditions of the day.
Q. Is snorkelling equipment included?
Masks, snorkels and fins are included. We do offer prescription masks available for hire for the day for $15. We also offer equipment for the little Rafters.
Q. Do I need to wear a stinger suit or wet suit?
Certain times of the year in the Whitsundays are stinger season (usually between late October – April/May). At this time of the year we do highly recommend hiring a stinger suit. These will cover around 90% of your body, fins will cover majority of your feet and your mask will cover some of your face, leaving less than 5% of your body exposed. Wet suits are available for hire during the winter months, which simply provide you with an extra layer of warmth whilst snorkelling. The hiring of stinger suits and wetsuits can be arranged upon check in.
Q. What if I am not a confident swimmer?
If you are not a confident swimmer, please make sure that you tell the office team when you check in as well as the crew on board the vessel as they will assist you if you wish to snorkel. We also offer life jackets and pool noodles on board for extra buoyancy.
Q. Can I snorkel if I wear glasses?
We have a range of prescription masks available for hire for $15.
Q. How long do you spend at Whitehaven Beach on each tour?
The Northern Exposure tour spends between 1 – 1.5 hours at the northern end of Whitehaven Beach and Hill Inlet. The Southern Lights tour spends between 2 – 2.5 hours at the southern end of Whitehaven Beach.
*These timings may change, subject to weather conditions.
Q. Do you visit Hill Inlet for both tours?
Yes, both visit Hill Inlet Lookout, offering the ultimate in Hill Inlet tours.
Q. What should I bring and what footwear should I wear?
Bring along a small bag with things that you would usually take to the beach i.e. a towel, swimmers, sunscreen and a hat. Comfortable walking shoes are recommended for the Hill Inlet tours and walk to the lookout. A jacket during the winter period is recommended to protect you from the wind and warmth after snorkelling. Cash for any drinks or snacks on board is recommended and if you haven't chosen to purchase the buffet lunch, please ensure that you bring your own, as we do not visit any resorts or shops during the day.
Q. Do you pick up from mainland accommodation?
Ocean Rafting offers a courtesy pick up from most mainland hotels and hostels. Upon making a reservation, if your accommodation is not listed, we will advise of the nearest pick up point.
Q. Is the pick up included in the price?
Yes, we offer a courtesy pick up for all Ocean Rafting Whitehaven Beach and Hill Inlet tours.
Q. Do you pick up from any of the resort islands?
Ocean Rafting departs from Airlie Beach, and once open, we also offer a pick up from Daydream Island Resort. Unfortunately we do not pick up from any other island resorts for our Whitehaven Beach and Hill Inlet tours.
Check in for the Northern Exposure tour starts from 7:45am. We advise any guests that are making their own way to our office for check in to arrive between 8am – 8:15am. Check in for the Southern Lights tour starts from 9am. We advise any guests that are making their own way to our office for check in to arrive between 9am – 9:15am.
Q. Where is the check in office located?
The Ocean Rafting office is located at the Northern Village of Abell Point Marina, Shingley Drive, Airlie Beach, next to Sorrento Restaurant. If you are still unsure of our location, please check with your accommodation reception or call us on (07) 4946 6848.
Q. Is there parking available at the Marina?
There is a car park at both the northern and southern end of Abell Point Marina (our office is located at the Northern Village). The car parks are between $6 – $14 to park for the day.
Q. Are there bathrooms on board?
Three out of six of our Ocean Rafting vessels have toilets on board. These are not to be used whilst the boat is in motion. There are toilets at Abell Point Marina, at the Hill Inlet Lookout (both Ocean Rafting Hill Inlet tours visit this site) and at the southern end of Whitehaven Beach (only accessible from the Southern Lights tour).
Q. What is included in the buffet lunch?
The cold tropical buffet lunch is an optional extra which can be pre-ordered for $16 per person. The lunch consists of a selection of different salads such as green salad, potato salad, pasta salad etc, a selection of cold meats, a seafood salad, sliced chicken breast, bread rolls and a selection of fruit.
* Lunch menu subject to change.
Q. Do you cater for dietary requirements or allergies?
Yes, we cater for most dietary requirements and allergies. We do however need to be informed of any of special requirements at least the day prior to departure to ensure that a substitute can be provided or catered for.
Q. Can I bring my own lunch, if I do not purchase the lunch?
Yes, we like to offer our guests the option! Please ensure that any lunch that you do bring is kept in a small concealed bag. We may also be able to store this in our cool drinks esky for you.
Q. Can I purchase drinks on board?
Yes, we have a range of cold beverages that you may purchase on board. Please bring cash along on the day to pay for these. Alternatively, you will be able to pay by card at the end of the day.
Q. Can I bring my own drinks?
Ocean Rafting has a no BYO alcohol policy. However you are able to bring along soft drinks and bottled water for your day.
Q. Are there any shops on Whitehaven Beach?
Whitsunday Island is a National Park, so there are no shops or buildings on the island (other than the toilet amenities).
Q. Is there any shade on Whitehaven Beach?
At certain times of the day there is very little/minimal shade coverage at Whitehaven Beach. Therefore, we strongly recommend frequent application of sun block to protect yourself from harmful UV rays.
Q. Can I bring my camera or phone to take pictures?
Ocean Rafters do frequently bring along cameras or phones for the day. Although we do have dry boxes under the seats designed to keep your belongings safe, all electrical and personal belongings are brought at your own risk and is no responsibility of Ocean Rafting if these items are lost or damaged during the day.
Q. Do you take photos on the day and how much are they?
Our staff will be using Go-Pros to take photos throughout your day on Ocean Rafting's snorkelling, Whitehaven Beach and Hill Inlet tours. A link to preview these photos will be emailed to the address that you provided upon check in 72 hours after travel. These photos will then be available to purchase online. For one photo it is $6, or for 10 or more photos it is $3 per photo.
* If you do not wish to have your photos taken during your day for any reason, please just let our staff know prior to departure.
Q. Do you rent Go-Pro's or underwater cameras for the day?
No, Ocean Rafting does not rent Go-Pro's or cameras.

The really first model of X1 was released back in 2015 and had a great development in around the world markets. Nevertheless, the beginners are having numerous new things in an upgrade to provide. So, we can anticipate surprises from that location. The new 2020 BMW X1 is the second generation which will acquire numerous compassions by more youthful individuals and prospective new purchasers.
Although is identified on some field in Germany, it is apparent that this model has actually considerably altered style and look. The dimensions are strong with better towing capability and more powerful efficiency.
With concealed information like grille and headlamps and general frontal fascia, we can hypothesize about exterior style. Nevertheless, that does not imply they would change something at all. Without a doubt, there will be some obvious changes, specifically in structure and look. New 2020 BMW X1 has an opportunity to end up being popular specifically when the even existing model has its complete rate.
The model of the new X1 will make a distinction in new market objectives. Nevertheless, although is covered, we can observe hexagonal headlights and square grill which is executed from X5. The ground clearance is taller and it might be in some little rage, however this is not verified information. Color option is likewise optional however the base model will most likely be silver or black.
There will be lots of conversations about new 2020 BMW X1, particularly about the interior. As we discussed in the past, the interior is not familiar yet, however it will have some changes needed. Comparing to its predecessor, this model will have a great credibility amongst new generations of crossovers. This crossover will have a number of trim levels which will use new unique benefits and information, specifically concerned to infotainment system and precaution.
We can anticipate that control panel will consist of fantastic LCD with 2 USB import within and the guiding wheel has a much better position than in the previous one. 2 rows of seats will be readily available with much better legroom area for guests. Chauffeur seat has a much better position which permits him to have a much better view on the highway.
New 2020 BMW X1 engine is going to have a new upgrade because the new efficiency is counting much better output. In the engine department, BMW includes fuel filters to all European models and this is the very best method for promo of this novelty. Smaller sized diesel motor are passed according to engineers, they do not understand if that will hold true with this model too. Nevertheless, this will imply a great deal of fuel cost savings and, among the essential things, to be ecological safe with brief losses.
The X1 will most likely continue to have 3- and 4-cylinder turbocharged engine with the output from 160 hp to 235 hp. It is a European model. Nevertheless, the 228 hp 28i model is the just one presently readily available in the USA. Positive viewpoints are that BMW will provide a sub-200 hp model. Depending upon the engine the X1 will include 6-speed car, 8-speed automobile or 7-speed DCT.
It is early for any sort of evaluations. However, we think that the new 2020 BMW X1 will strike the display rooms by 2019. The base model is not acquainted with the general public and there is no much area for specific information. Nevertheless, this implies that a few of the challengers have the comparable structure in this sections. The rate for this vehicle begins with $35,000. This will be the rate for a base model without any more additions.

Cramer's week ahead: More upside after Tesla's S&P 500 welcome
Published Fri, Dec 18 20206:53 PM EST Updated Fri, Dec 18 20207:11 PM EST
Tyler Clifford@_TylerTheTyler_
"The action today ... had nothing to do with Covid and everything to do with Tesla's admission to the S&P 500," CNBC's Jim Cramer said.
"Usually, new entrants to the S&P are much smaller than this. Tesla's one of the 10 largest companies in America by market cap, so the impact reverberated through the whole market," the "Mad Money" host said.
"I bet Tesla has more upside as [CEO Elon] Musk keeps meeting and beating his targets," he said.
Cramer on Tesla joining S&P 500: 'I bet Tesla has more upside'
The pandemic took a backseat to Tesla on the stock market Friday as traders exchanged shares ahead of its upcoming debut on the market benchmark index, CNBC's Jim Cramer said Friday.
Trade in Tesla, the poster child of high-flying tech stocks in 2020, put pressure on the rest of the market in anticipation of the electric-vehicle maker's inclusion on the S&P 500 before Monday's open, he said.
"The action today ... had nothing to do with Covid and everything to do with Tesla's admission to the S&P 500. That means the whole index needs to be rebalanced to make room for a stock that just won't quit, including today," the "Mad Money" host said.
"Usually, new entrants to the S&P are much smaller than this. Tesla's one of the 10 largest companies in America by market cap, so the impact reverberated through the whole market," he added.
S&P Dow Jones Indices, which decides the 500 components that make up the S&P 500, just over a month ago announced that Tesla would be added to the stock index on Dec. 21. Tesla shares are up 61% from the day of the announcement. Billions of stocks in other companies were sold in Friday's session to make room for its inclusion, said Cramer, who has been bullish on the company.
The S&P 500 fell 0.35% during the trading day, closing at 3,709.41. The 30-stock Dow Jones index declined 0.41%, or 124 points, to 30,179.05. The Nasdaq Composite dipped 0.07% to 12,755.64. All three averages retreated from their highs.
Tesla, however, surged 6% higher to a record close of $695. The company will replace Apartment Investment and Management Co on the index.
"I bet Tesla has more upside as [CEO Elon] Musk keeps meeting and beating his targets," Cramer said. "I'm thrilled the stock has made so many people so much money, and I'm ecstatic that it's helped a whole new generation fall in love with stock picking."
Despite the negative day of trading Friday, the major averages all ended the week with gains, including a 3% rise in the Nasdaq Composite over the last five sessions.
"Once the index funds finish selling everything else to make room for this $650 billion behemoth, I'm betting the Santa Claus rally resumes," he said.
Cramer gave his game plan for the week ahead, which will be shortened when markets close at 1 p.m. ET Thursday to recognize the Christmas holiday. All earnings projections are based on FactSet estimates:
Zoom In IconArrows pointing outwards
Tuesday: Carmax and Cintas earnings
Q3 fiscal 2021 earnings release: before market; conference call: 9 a.m.
Projected EPS: $1.13
Projected revenue: $5.03 billion
"CarMax's stock has been range-bound ever since we started getting all the positive vaccine data," Cramer said. "Maybe it breaks out once we see the results and people realize the demand is off the charts."
Q2 fiscal 2021 earnings release: before market; conference call: Tuesday, 10 a.m.
"If Cintas is doing well, that means small- and medium-sized businesses are holding up better than we think," he said. "If they're doing poorly, well, that's a different story."

"Paychex has an enormous flock of small- and medium-sized customers that use them for payroll automation," Cramer said. "Long-term, the stock's been a great performer, but short-term it tends to act as a proxy for its customers."

\section{Introduction}

Consider a weighted graph $G$ in which vertices are labelled $1, \dots, n$.
Let the edge between
$i$ and $j$ have weight $d_{ij}$ and $\sum_j d_{ij} := d_i$.
The laplacian $\mathcal L$ is an operator from the space of complex valued functions on the nodes of a graph
to itself. For $$f: [n] \rightarrow \mathbb{C},$$
$\mathcal L f$ is defined by
$$\forall i \in [n], \mathcal L f(i) = \frac{\sum_{j \in [n]} d_{ij}(f(j)-f(i))}{d_i}.$$
Thus, the following matrix equation holds:
$$D f = D' \mathcal L f,$$
where $D$ is
\[\left[
\begin{array}{llll}
-d_1 & d_{12} & \cdots & d_{1n} \\
d_{21} & -d_2 & \cdots & d_{2n} \\
\vdots & \vdots &  \ddots & \vdots \\
d_{n1} & d_{n2} & \cdots & -d_n
\end{array}
\right],\]

$f = [f(1), \dots, f(n)]^T,$
$\mathcal L f = [\mathcal L f(1), \dots, \mathcal L f(n)]^T$ and
$D'$ is the diagonal matrix whose entry in the $i^{th}$ row and $i^{th}$ column is
$d_i$.

We consider the transition matrix $D'^{-1}\mathcal L + I$, which is
\[\left[
\begin{array}{llll}
0 & \frac{d_{12}}{d_1} & \cdots & \frac{d_{1n}}{d_1} \\
\frac{d_{21}}{d_2} & 0 & \cdots & \frac{d_{2n}}{d_2} \\
\vdots & \vdots &  \ddots & \vdots \\
\frac{d_{n1}}{d_n} & \frac{d_{n2}}{d_n} & \cdots & 0
\end{array}
\right],\]
Whenever we consider random walks on $G$, the transition from $i {\rightarrow} j$ will have probability
equal to the ${ij}^{th}$ entry of the
above matrix.

The eigenvalues of the Laplacian are the roots of the polynomial
\[C(\lambda) = \det \left|
\begin{array}{llll}
-d_1(1 + \lambda) & d_{12} & \cdots & d_{1n} \\
d_{21} & -d_2(1 + \lambda) & \cdots & d_{2n} \\
\vdots & \vdots &  \ddots & \vdots \\
d_{n1} & d_{n2} & \cdots & - d_n (1 + \lambda)
\end{array}
\right|.\]

Note that $\lambda$ is an eigenvalue of the laplacian if and only if $1 + \lambda$ is an eigenvalue of the
transition matrix  $D'^{-1} \mathcal L + I$.

Now, let  $\lambda$ take a fixed positive real value.
Consider the following procedure of gernerating a random walk:\\
\begin{enumerate}
\item[1.] Choose a vertex $i$ with probability $$\frac{d_i}{\sum_{j \in [n]} d_j}.$$
\item[2.] Toss a coin that comes up Heads with probability $\frac{\lambda}{1+\lambda}$.\\
		  If the outcome is Heads {\bf STOP}.\\
		  Else make a random transition to a neighbouring vertex with probability
		  proportional to the weight of the corresponding edge.
\item[3.] Goto 2.
\end{enumerate}

\begin{definition}
A random walk generated by the above procedure shall be called a ``$\lambda$-damped random walk".
\end{definition}

\begin{definition}\label{def:Fi}
Let $w_1, \dots, w_i, \dots$ be a sequence of independent $\lambda$-damped walks.
We define the weighted fraction of the nodes covered by the first $i$
walks,
$$f_i := \frac{\sum_{j \in \bigcup_{k=1}^i w_k} d_j}{\sum_{j \in [n]} d_j}.$$
Note that this is the measure of $\displaystyle{\bigcup_i w_i}$ under the stationary
distribution of the natural random walk on the graph.
\end{definition}

\begin{theorem}\label{dw}
For $c > 0$, let $k \geq (c + 1) d_{avg}d_{min}^{-1} n \ln n$, where  $d_{avg}$ is the
arithmetic mean and $d_{min}$ is the minimum of the $d_i$ for $i \in [n]$.
Then,
$$|E[\prod_{j=1}^{k-1} (2f_j - 1)] + \frac{C(-\lambda)}{C(\lambda)}| < \frac{2}{n^c}.$$
\end{theorem}

\begin{corollary}
The non-zero eigenvalues $-\lambda_i$ of the  laplacian (which are all negative), are characterized
by $E[\prod_{j=1}^{\infty} (2f_j - 1)] = 0$, where $f_j$ are as in definition~\ref{def:Fi} with
$\lambda$ set to $\lambda_i$.
\end{corollary}

\section{Kirchhoff's Matrix-tree theorem}
\begin{definition}
Let $\mathbb{T}$ be the set of trees of $G$. For a tree $t$ of $G$,
let its weight $|t|$ be the product of the weights of its edges.
\end{definition}
\begin{theorem}\label{kirch}
The sum of the weights of spanning trees of a graph $G$ is equal to any cofactor of
the degree matrix of $G$ minus the adjacency matrix of $G$.
\end{theorem}

In particular, Kirchhoff's matrix tree
theorem implies that
\[ \sum_{t \in \mathbb{T}} w(t) = (-1)^{n-1} \det \left|
\begin{array}{llll}
- d_{2} & d_{23} & \cdots & d_{2n} \\
d_{31} & - d_{3} & \cdots & d_{3n} \\
\vdots & \vdots &  \ddots & \vdots \\
d_{n2} & d_{n3} & \cdots & - d_{n}
\end{array}
\right|. \]

\section{The Aldous-Broder algorithm}
\begin{definition}
Given a weighted graph $G$, let $P_\mathbb{T}$ be the probability distribution on the trees of $G$, where the
probability assigned to a tree $t$ is $\frac{|t|}{\sum_{t \in \mathbb{T}} |t|}$.
\end{definition}

The Aldous-Broder algorithm \cite{aldous, broder} described below
generates a random spanning tree, from the distribution $P_\mathbb{T}$.

\begin{enumerate}
\item Simulate the random walk on the graph $G$ starting at an arbitrary vertex $s$, until every vertex
      is visited. For each $i \in [n], i \neq s$, collect the edge $(j, i)$  corresponding to the first
	  transition to vertex $i$.
\item Output $t$.
\end{enumerate}
Originally this algorithm was proved to give a random spanning tree of a simple graph.
However, it has been shown by Mosbah and Saheb \cite{mosbah}, that the
algorithm works even for a
weighted graph provided that
the walk makes transitions according to the transition matrix $D'^{-1}\mathcal L + I$.

\section{Augmenting the graph}

\begin{figure}
\includegraphics[height=1.5in]{augment.eps}
\caption{Augmenting G}
\label{fig:gaug}
\end{figure}

We now prove theorem~\ref{dw}.
\begin{definition}
Given a graph $G$ as in the Introduction, and $\lambda > 0$,
we manufacture an augmented graph $G_\lambda$ by adding an additional node $\infty$ and for each
$i \in [n]$, a branch joining $\infty$ and $i$ that has weight $d_i\lambda$.
\end{definition}

Figure~\ref{fig:gaug} illustrates this.

\begin{definition}
Let $\mathbb{T}_\lambda$ be the set of trees of $G_\lambda$, and $P_{\mathbb{T}_\lambda}$ be the probability
distribution that assigns to a tree $t \in \mathbb{T}_\lambda$, a probability proportional to the product of its
edge weights.
\end{definition}

The determinant of the
laplacian of $G$ is a determinant of a maximal cofacter of $G_\lambda$.
Thus by the Matrix-Tree theorem, we have
\begin{eqnarray}
C(\lambda) &=& (-1)^n \sum_{t \in \mathbb{T}_\lambda} \prod_{e \in t} |e|.
\end{eqnarray}
In the above expression, by $|e|$, we mean the weight of $e$.
For a tree $t$ of $G_\lambda$, let us denote by $deg_{\infty}(t)$ the {\it unweighted} degree of
$\infty$ in $t$. This is the number of branches of $t$ that are incident upon $\infty$.
Then,
\begin{eqnarray}\label{eq:1}
\frac{C(-\lambda)}{C(\lambda)} &=&  \frac{\sum_{t \in \mathbb{T}_\lambda} \prod_{e \in t} (-1)^{deg_\infty(t)} w(e)}{ \sum_{t \in \mathbb{T}_\lambda} \prod_{e \in t} w(e)} = E[(-1)^{\text{deg}_{\infty}(t)}],
\end{eqnarray}
where the expectation is taken over the distribution $P_{\mathbb{T}_\lambda}$ on $\mathbb{T}_\lambda$.

\section{Proof of Theorem~\ref{dw}}
We do an infinite random walk $w$ on the graph $G_\lambda$, $w := \infty {\rightarrow} i_1 {\rightarrow} i_2 {\rightarrow} \dots$ on $G_\lambda$ starting
at vertex $\infty$, and generate a random tree $t$ from $w$
using the Aldous-Broder algorithm. Note that no transition that occurs after every vertex has been visited
will figure in the tree. We let the walk have infinite length just for notational benefits.
Let us partition $w$ into visits to $\infty$ and the walks on intervals between
these visits, which we label $w_1, w_2, \dots$.
Thus $\infty {\rightarrow} 3 {\rightarrow} 2 {\rightarrow} 5 {\rightarrow} \infty {\rightarrow} 4 {\rightarrow} 1 {\rightarrow} \infty {\rightarrow} 1 {\rightarrow} 3 {\rightarrow} \dots$
would be partitioned as $\infty, 3 {\rightarrow} 2 {\rightarrow} 5, \infty, 4 {\rightarrow} 1, \infty, 1 {\rightarrow} 3 \dots$,
and $w_1 := 3 {\rightarrow} 2 {\rightarrow} 5$, $w_2 := 4 {\rightarrow} 1$, $w_3 := 1 {\rightarrow} 3 \dots$.
\begin{definition}
Let $x_i$ be the random variable defined to be $0$ if the first vertex of $w_i$ was covered by one of
the walks $w_1, \dots, w_{i-1}$, and $1$ otherwise.
\end{definition}
Note that if $t$ is the tree obtained by applying the Aldous-Broder algorithm to walk $w$,
\begin{eqnarray}
\text{deg}_\infty(t) &=& \sum_{i=1}^\infty x_i.
\end{eqnarray}
Also note that the $w_i$ are independent $\lambda$-damped walks on $G$.
Let $d_{avg}$ and $d_{min}$ be the arithmetic mean and the minimum of the weighted degrees $d_i$.
Then, the probability that the first $k := (c + 1) \frac{d_{avg}}{d_{min}} n \ln n$ walks
do not cover a given node $j$ is less than the probability that $j$ is not the first vertex of one
of the walks $\{w_i | i \leq k\}$, which is $(1 - \frac{d_j}{n d_{avg}})^k < \frac{1}{n^{c+1}}$.
Therefore by the union bound, the probability that every node is covered by some $w_i$, $i \leq k$
is $> 1 - \frac{1}{n^c}$.
Thus
\begin{eqnarray}\label{eq:2}
P[\text{deg}_\infty(t) &=& \sum_{i = 1}^k x_i] > 1 - \frac{1}{n^c},
\end{eqnarray}
where  $k := (c + 1) \frac{d_{avg}}{d_{min}} n \ln n.$

\begin{eqnarray}\label{eq:2.5}
E[(-1)^{\text{deg}_\infty(t)}]  & = & E[(-1)^{\sum_{i \leq k} x_i} (-1)^{\text{deg}_\infty(t) - \sum_{i \leq k} x_i}] \nonumber\\
								& = & E[(-1)^{\sum_{i \leq k} x_i}] + E[(-1)^{\sum_{i \leq k} x_i}(-1 + (-1)^{\text{deg}_\infty(t) - \sum_{i \leq k} n_i})].
\end{eqnarray}

However, from \ref{eq:2.5},
\begin{eqnarray}\label{eq:3}
|E[(-1)^{\sum_{i \leq k} x_i}(-1 + (-1)^{\text{deg}_\infty(t) - \sum_{i \leq k} n_i})]| &=& \nonumber\\
P[\text{deg}_\infty(t) > \sum_{i \leq k} n_i)] |E[(-1)^{\sum_{i \leq k} x_i}(-1 + (-1)^{\text{deg}_\infty(t) - \sum_{i \leq k} n_i})|\text{deg}_\infty(t) > \sum_{i \leq k} n_i]| &<& \nonumber\\
\frac{2}{n^c}.
\end{eqnarray}

It follows from \ref{eq:1}, \ref{eq:2} and \ref{eq:3} that
\begin{eqnarray}\label{eq:4}
|E[(-1)^{\sum_{i \leq k} x_i}] + \frac{C(-\lambda)}{C(\lambda)}| &<& \frac{2}{n^c}.
\end{eqnarray}

$x_i$ is a function of $w_1, \dots, w_i$, and is independent of
$w_{i+1}, w_{i+2}, \dots$.
So,
\begin{eqnarray}\label{eq:5}
E_{w_1, \dots, w_i}[(-1)^{\sum_{i \leq k} x_i}] & = & E_{w_1}[(-1)^{x_1} E_{w_2, \dots, w_i}[(-1)^{\sum_{i = 2}^k x_i}|w_1] \nonumber\\
												& = & (-1)E_{w_1}[E_{w_2, \dots, w_k}[(-1)^{\sum_{i = 2}^k x_i} | w_1] \nonumber\\
												& = & (-1)E_{w_1}[(2 f_1 - 1) E_{w_2}[(-1)^{x_2} E_{w_3, \dots, w_k}[(-1)^{\sum_{i = 3}^k x_i}|w_1, w_2]|w_1] \nonumber\\
                                                & = & \dots \nonumber\\
                                                & = & (-1)E_{w_1, \dots, w_{k-1}}[\prod_{i=1}^{k-1}(2 f_i - 1)] ,
\end{eqnarray}
where $f_i$ are as defined in Definition~\ref{def:Fi}.
From \ref{eq:1}, \ref{eq:4} and \ref{eq:5}
Theorem~\ref{dw} now follows.

\section{Conclusion}
We used the Aldous-Broder algorithm (\cite{aldous, broder}) of generating a random spanning tree and the
Matrix-tree theorem
to relate the values of the characteristic polynomial of the Laplacian
at $\pm \lambda$ and the stationary measures of the sets of nodes
visited by $i$ independent $\lambda$-damped random
walks for $i \in \mathbb{N}$. As a corollary, we obtained a new characterization of the
non-zero eigenvalues of the Weighted Graph Laplacian.
The authors are not aware of any analogue of this result for compact Riemannian manifolds.
To find such analogues, appears to be an interesting line of research.

Q: How can I pass a base64 image to tensorflow JS?
*

*I'm using tensorflow JS to do image classification.

*I store training images in the browser indexDB in data format (aka data data:image/jpeg;base64,/9j/4A...)

When I train, I use this function which is supposed to convert my data IMG to a tensor.
const imageToTensor = (imageData: string) => {
    // convert base64 to Image for the fromPixels
    const img = new Image()
    img.src = imageData
    img.width = 224
    img.height = 224

    const imageFeatures = tf.tidy(function () {
        const imageAsTensor = tf.browser.fromPixels(img)
        imageAsTensor.print()
        return imageAsTensor
    })
    return imageFeatures
}

But my imageAsTensor.print() is showing me just a bunch of 000
Tensor
    [[[0, 0, 0],
      [0, 0, 0],
      [0, 0, 0],

      [0, 0, 0],
      [0, 0, 0]]]

Can't seem to see what I am doing wrong. Am I missing an await or something?
Thanks for your help.

A: Your tensor is empty because at that point in the code, image is empty.
HTMLImageElement is NOT ready as soon as you assign to its src property, you need to wait for onDataLoaded or equivalent event.

Peace, forgiveness ease monks' pain
Conception's ninth abbot tries to make sense of the shootings. In an effort to understand and help authorities, the abbey staff went through press files, employment records, seminary rosters and guest registries looking for any tie between Mr. Jeffress and Conception.
CONCEPTION JUNCTION, Mo. – Peace lives at Conception Abbey. In fact, it works here. It greets everyone who pulls onto the grounds.
The Rev. Albert Bruecken knows this as truth.
"There is a peace here, and there is a regularity about our life," the abbey's vocation director says.
Lloyd R. Jeffress shattered that peace a year ago. On June 10, 2002, death came riding up in a green Chevy Cavalier. He somehow missed the tranquility of this place that morning.
The 71-year-old Kearney, Mo., man drove nearly 100 miles with killing hot on his mind. No one knows what prompted Mr. Jeffress to murder two people and wound two others before taking his own life that humid June morning.
Bullets from Mr. Jeffress' MAK-90 assault rifle took the lives of the Rev. Philip Schuster, 84, and Brother Damian Larson, 62.
The Rev. Norbert Schappler and the Rev. Kenneth Reichert suffered serious injuries from the same gun.
The incident still baffles the monastic community. But peace and forgiveness help ease the pain.
"People ask me a lot, 'When did you forgive?' And I tell them, 'I'm still forgiving,'" the Rev. Reichert says. "I don't want to live the rest of my life angry and resentful."
Abbot Gregory Polan forgave Mr. Jeffress immediately, regarding it as necessary to the community and the Christian message embodied there.
"I have seen so many lives crippled by an inability to either forgive or to be forgiven," the abbey's leader says. "I know that if we weren't able to forgive, our community would be crippled."
Forgiveness, he believes, is at the heart of what the Conception monks stand for.
"Every day when we pray the 'Our Father,' we pray, 'Forgive us as we forgive,'" Abbot Gregory says.
Nervous laughter works for the Rev. Bruecken. He uses it as a defense mechanism against the pain of remembering that day.
Now, whenever a door slams or a stranger walks into the church, it conjures fear and apprehension. But the Rev. Bruecken fights it every day.
"I try to make a conscious effort not to be totally suspicious or not to be hostile," he says. "We want to be hospitable, and we want to share the peace that's here and we want that peace to return.
"And that doesn't happen if we're suspicious all the time and let this event be the most formative thing that ever happened in my life."
The Rev. Bruecken recalls Brother Damian and the Rev. Schuster with a smile on his face. It helps defuse the pain and anger. The support of friends and the secular community helps, too.
"I guess the other thing that happened as a result of this, we found out that we have a lot of friends, lots of people who appreciate us," he says.
That also comforts the Rev. Patrick Caveglia, who has good days again. But the notches made by bullets on the shiny hardwood floor in the south hallway still bring back pain.
"You kind of have flashbacks walking down the hallway and, 'Ooh, this is where -,'" he shudders.
The abbey's business manager, the Rev. Caveglia always figured he'd die here too, just like his brothers. In fact, he always planned on it.
"We know we're going to die here. Most of us are going to die over in the infirmary in a lot more peaceful way with a bunch of people around us, and we'll slip away and that'll be the end," he says. "So in a sense, Damian and Philip, except for the violence, senselessness and shock of all that, they reached what we're all going to reach here. They died here."
The Rev. Reichert lives every day with the shootings, from the scars left from his wounds and subsequent surgery to remove 12 inches of his colon to the brace he wears on his injured right leg. A bullet claimed part of the middle finger on his right hand.
He first battled anxiety, a victim's fear of the violence repeating itself. But while he's worked that out, and continues to work it out, he concedes, "It's something I think that's going to be with me to the day I die."
A member of the Conception community since 1953, the Rev. Reichert spent six weeks of his convalescence in the abbey infirmary, hooked up to a machine that helped his wounds heal. Without appetite and often nauseous, he lost 50 pounds after the shooting.
But 35 of those pounds are now back on his frame, and he often takes an afternoon walk without his brace. Part of his regular route includes the abbey cemetery, where he says he likes to "visit old friends."
Nerve damage numbs his right foot below the instep, but he feels fine and carries out his full duties as the abbey's prior.
He admits the mental healing takes longer, but the Rev. Reichert says the experience has not been without its benefits. He insists his wounds make him more understanding and compassionate of people, especially those who have been hurt.
Likewise, Abbot Gregory believes the shooting strengthened his faith. Having lived through an act of violence, he says, the monks feel a new solidarity with people of the world who experience the same thing, live with unanswered questions and must look at faith to sustain them.
"It's one of those bittersweet experiences that you see how suffering has led you to blessing," he explains.
Still, Conception's ninth abbot tries to make sense of the shootings. In an effort to understand and help authorities, the abbey staff went through press files, employment records, seminary rosters and guest registries looking for any tie between Mr. Jeffress and Conception.
They found no connection.
The mystery remains complete, but Abbot Gregory remains at peace with that.
"We don't always understand and know why," he said. "But with our own belief in God and God's providence and God's care for us, we are able to accept those kinds of things, and we move on with life."

I would like to get this PDF file.
Hello, thanks for your message. I read this guideline "how to download FileFactory" but this is not the page I'm seeing.
When I access to the URL which is "http://www.filefactory.com/file/56luhk9mt6d3/39795.rar",it automatically starts downloading some files. When downloading was completed, I tried to open it but nothing came up. Just empty new browser popped up. Maybe the file is broken?


Don't hesitate, this is a fantastic album, a fabulous combination of symphonic rock and a tinge of avant/experimentalism thrown in for good measure.
Just read the review here in PA (the link to the album page is above) and read why you should get it (especially for this price).
Never give a day away.
I like the album, extremely valorous.
I see that a similar band from South America has had their debut album re-issued - Alas. Is this worth getting too? I've never heard of it before this week.
Done! (from Laser's Edge) Thanks Assaf.
Yes indeed!! But don't expect something similar or near Anabelas. Alas' debut album is an example of how an Argentine prog band can naturally embrace the influences from Return to Forever and ELP while translating them into the realms of tango-fusion... in the context of a keyboard-based power trio!! IMHO, it is very worth getting, a real 70s prog masterpiece from South America. Besides the two epics of the album, the CD will surely include two bonus tracks, a fusinoesque instrumental called 'Aire' and a delicate, subtly tango-instilled ballad called 'Rincón, Mi Pequeño Rincón'.
Yes, here I get it for 15 pesos. At last, it used to be for 78... does that make any sense? An argentinian album costs just as much as an imported one... well, actually it was... man, thats just wrong... but now its all gooooood, I will buy it, even though I already have it!


Where else do you house a butler?
St Andrews' billionaire fresher may have a new home for her and her 12 staff – a £2 million b&b just outside the city.
Eden Mansion is thought to be the new home for St Andrews' new billionaire fresher, where the home will also host her butler, chauffeur, and three footmen, among others.
The mansion was also on the wishlist for Prince William and the Duchess of Cambridge in their final year of uni.
Sitting in five acres of land, with eight en-suite bedrooms, Eden Mansion is described as perfect for "luxurious living and entertaining in a grand style".
Previously listed for sale at just under £2 million by estate agents Savills, the mansion is vaunted as a "historic and exceptional country house".
Now, Eden Mansion is no longer on the market. It is thought that a deal for the property is in its final stages.
Staff at Eden Mansion told The St Andrews Tab that "it isn't on the market and it hasn't been sold", but were not able to add more, and would not directly comment on whether it was being purchased.
Adding to the suspiciously similar vagueness, a spokesperson at Savills told The Times: "All I am at liberty to say is that Eden Mansion is not on the market."
Whilst the property can still be booked on Booking.com, where visitors can "get the celebrity treatment with world-class service", the site did not comment whether this meant bookings would continue.
The mansion, situated just outside St. Andrews, boasts a home cinema, a private roof terrace and a wine cellar. As well as this, the as yet unnamed student will have her pick of all eight bedrooms.
Earlier in the summer, Silver Swan recruitment agency advertised for a group of twelve staff to tend to the new students every need.
They'll be paid up to £30,000 a year, supposedly, and their roles include "waking principal up, liaising with other staff regarding routine and schedule, assisting with grooming, wardrobe management and personal shopping".

Who is Stella Maxwell? Kristen Stewart's girlfriend, World's Sexiest Woman and Victoria's Secret model
From growing up in Belgium to taking the modelling world by storm, the beauty caught the eye of actress Kristen Stewart and Miley Cyrus
By Tina Campbell and Olivia Waring
Updated: 15 Feb 2018, 16:56
MODEL Stella Maxwell is regarded as one of the most attractive women on the planet, and she's romanced both Miley Cyrus and Kristen Stewart.
As one of the gang of Victoria's Secret Angels the 5ft 9in beauty has the world at her well-heeled feet. But what do we know about her?

Who is Stella Maxwell, how old is she and what is her background?
Stella Mayne Mawell is a 27-year-old supermodel, born on May 15, 1990, in Belgium.
The bisexual star is best-known for her high-profile relationships with Miley Cyrus and Kristen Stewart.
She is one of four children – Patrick, Martin and Helen.
The photogenic lass lived in Belgium until she was 13 and then moved with her family to Canberra, Australia, where they remained for one year.
They then moved to Wellington, New Zealand when she was 14, which was where she was discovered as a model.
She now splits her time between Los Angeles and New York in the USA.
She infamously enjoyed a short-lived romance with Wrecking Ball singer and former Disney star Miley CyrusCredit: Getty Images - FilmMagic
How did Stella's modelling career begin?
Stella's first fashion show was for Ready to Wear – Autumn / Winter 2009 where she walked for Charles Anastase, Mara Hoffman, Fashion East, Luella, and Osman Yousefzada.
After walking for Victoria's Secret in 2014 she officially became a Victoria's Secret Angel in 2015.
She is also known for her advertising campaigns for H&M, Urban Outfitters, Puma, and Ermanno Scervino, as well as for her photo shoots for Glamour, Elle, and Vogue.
In 2016 she landed the coveted number one spot on Maxim's Hot 100 List.
Stella and Kristen Stewart are rarely seen apartCredit: Rex
What else is Stella Maxwell known for?
Stella enjoyed a high-profile romance with former Disney star Miley Cyrus in 2015.
Although short-lived, the pair appeared inseparable posting several snaps on Instagram together.
Since then, Stella has been linked to actress Kristen Stewart who recently split from Cara Delevingne's musician ex St Vincent.
In February Stella revealed a little bit more than she intended as she headed for the Moschino runway during Milan Fashion Week.
Inevitably the unfortunate nipple slip didn't go unnoticed by passing photographers.
In January 2017, Stella was photographed kissing Twilight actress Kristen Stewart in the back of a car.
They've been dating since late 2016 and in July 2017 the pair crashed a lesbian wedding in Canada.

In case you thought they'd be getting delayed.
Ubisoft's latest monthly schedule has been released and assures us that both Tom Clancy's The Division and The Crew will be releasing in 2014.
Rumours have cropped up in the past few months that The Division, developed Ubisoft Massive and slated to arrive on Xbox One, PS4 and PC, might actually be delayed into 2015. Ubisoft never confirmed as much though and have been showing off the game with new screenshots recently. As for The Crew, it was originally slated to release early in 2014 but was delayed alongside Watch Dogs last year.
As of now, despite a May 27th release date announcement for Watch Dogs, criticism against Ubisoft is fairly highly for apparently downgrading the overall visuals of the open world hacking title since its initial showcase. And while they may not show it, insider talk indicates that Ubisoft is less than enthusiastic about the backlash.
Do you think The Division and The Crew will be delayed further? Let us know in the comments.


Well see— he'd already named the animals!
Walk in the garden every evening..
Was an intellectual & he made me laugh & I was laughing when I tasted it.
Neither of them said I couldn't..
Just seemed like it was a bargain already made, oh he would do anything for me!
Oh this surprised me, this thing called fear, but I like eating meat!
Have him, as much as I love them, it would be impossible..
& I cannot imagine this..
When it was that love was as constant as air..
Now there are only times when I look at him & vaguely remember..
& I'm afraid of that place..
Perhaps I could go there and come back?
Perhaps I'll go there and come back..
Oh, my heart breaks when he screams in the middle of the night!
