Book Description
The Pacific Symposium on Biocomputing (PSB) 2023 is an international, multidisciplinary conference for the presentation and discussion of current research in the theory and application of computational methods in problems of biological significance. Presentations are rigorously peer reviewed and are published in an archival proceedings volume. PSB 2023 will be held on January 3-7, 2023 in Kohala Coast, Hawaii. Tutorials and workshops will be offered prior to the start of the conference.PSB 2023 will bring together top researchers from the US, the Asian Pacific nations, and around the world to exchange research results and address open issues in all aspects of computational biology. It is a forum for the presentation of work in databases, algorithms, interfaces, visualization, modeling, and other computational methods, as applied to biological problems, with emphasis on applications in data-rich areas of molecular biology.The PSB has been designed to be responsive to the need for critical mass in sub-disciplines within biocomputing. For that reason, it is the only meeting whose sessions are defined dynamically each year in response to specific proposals. PSB sessions are organized by leaders of research in biocomputing's 'hot topics.' In this way, the meeting provides an early forum for serious examination of emerging methods and approaches in this rapidly changing field.

THE SACRED^SUNDAY WORDS OF WISDOM JOURNAL
Author: Michael William AngelOh
Publisher: Children of Light Publishing
ISBN: 1099813999
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 385
Book Description
It was on July 4th that I found an up and coming Social Media Website called Facebook. I registered for my first Facebook Homepage account and within 30 days had composed a page featuring my “HAWAIIAN WORDS OF WISDOM” sayings. I immediately began receiving hundreds of likes and encouraging comments to my new page which inspired me to begin another new page entitled, “SACRED^SUNDAY WORDS OF WISDOM.” This page would feature my collection of writings and Quotations which I would feature to my many friends on Facebook and then on Twitter another Social Media site posted early each Sunday morning. These early creations have been published regularly on both Fridays and Sundays ever since 2008 and are the source and inspiration for this Book. Each Friday I had posted one of my Hawaiian Words of Wisdom Quotations in both Hawaiian with the English translation. Each Sunday I had posted one of my very favorite Scriptural Quotations occasionally with a comment or personal Prayer attached. The other days of the week were inspired primarily by my own personal Quotations that I had published in my personal Newsletter entitled, “The Sacred^Sunday Journals” which went out weekly to over 6,000 subscribers along with my Sunday postings on Social Media. This new Book publication offers Daily Inspiration and features what are called, “THE FRUITS OF THE HOLY SPIRIT” Quotations. It also features the author's "HAWAIIAN WORDS OF WISDOM" as well as “SACRED^SUNDAY'S SCRIPTURAL QUOTATIONS" for 365 days, a full year. They are presented as daily reminders or what may be called “THE INSPIRATIONAL WORD FOR THE DAY.” Daily "WORD STONE IMAGES" are also posted to keep the reader’s attention focused upon those Spiritual attributes in each Soul’s consciousness that may be reflected upon each day of ordinary time for each individual Soul’s lifetime journey. The “SACRED^SUNDAY WORDS OF WISDOM JOURNAL” begins on a Sunday with Day 1 and ends on a Sunday with Day 365. My sincere desire is that each Quotation for every day of whatever year you happen to be reading this Book will warm your Heart and illuminate your mind and Soul having a human experience on a daily basis.

Saltwater Buddha
Author: Jaimal Yogis
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 0861715357
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 265
Book Description
Fed up with his suburban teenage life, at age sixteen Jaimal Yogis ran off to Hawaii with little more than a copy of Hermann Hesse's Siddhartha and enough cash for a surfboard. His wandering, searching journey is a comingndash;of-age tale that takes him from Hawaiian communes to French monasteries to the icy New York shore. Equal parts spiritual memoir and surfer's tale, this is his chronicle of finding meditative focus in the barrel of a wave. Trying to find Zen in the rhythmic crashing of waves, Yogis eventually discovers something of eternal truth in the great salty blue. Saltwater Buddha melds Zen insights with surf wisdom and stories in a clear, confiding, and frequently humorous voice.

Niʻihau Place Names
Author: John R. K. Clark
Publisher: University of Hawaii Press
ISBN: 0824896319
Category : Reference
Languages : en
Pages : 465
Book Description
The story of Ni‘ihau has been told many times by many people, but Ni‘ihau Place Names adds new information to the island’s history from a unique source: Hawaiian-language newspapers. From 1834 to 1948, approximately 125,000 pages of Native Hawaiian expression were printed in more than 100 different newspapers. John R. K. Clark has gathered and edited a large collection of invaluable articles that recorded daily life on Niʻihau, events and topics of interest, and the island’s place names. Additionally, Keao NeSmith, a Native Hawaiian of Kaua‘i and an applied linguist, translator, and researcher fluent in ‘ōlelo Hawai‘i, translated each passage into English. Most of these excerpts have not appeared in any other publication. Ni‘ihau is unique in the state of Hawai‘i because it is the only island that is entirely privately owned. In 1864, Kamehameha V, the monarch of the Kingdom of Hawai‘i, sold the island to the Sinclairs, a wealthy immigrant family looking to establish a ranching business. Descendants of the Sinclairs still own the island today. Diverse opinions about the sale of Niʻihau were published in newspapers across the Hawaiian Islands, and this book traces the development and aftershocks of that historic event. Ni‘ihau Place Names contains over thirty kanikau (dirges, poetic chants) written and published from 1845 to 1931 to honor deceased Niʻihau residents. These compositions of deep emotion are treasuries of language, history, genealogy, cultural knowledge, and especially place names. Another important contribution in this volume is the identification of ‘ōlelo no‘eau (proverbs and poetical sayings) with demonstrations of their use in everyday conversation. The book is divided into two main sections. “Ni‘ihau Place Names” is an alphabetical list of prominent place names on the island, accompanied by relevant passages in Hawaiian and their English translations. The list also includes Lehua, the small island near the northwest tip of Ni‘ihau. “Ni‘ihau History” is an additional collection of articles that includes many lesser-known place names and elucidates other topics deemed worthy by reporters and contributors of the time. Following the main text, readers will find helpful indexes of general terms, place names, and personal names.

The Hawaiian Romance of Laieikawai
Author: Anonymous
Publisher: Library of Alexandria
ISBN: 1613104685
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 672
Book Description
The Laieikawai is a Hawaiian romance which recounts the wooing of a native chiefess of high rank and her final deification among the gods. The story was handed down orally from ancient times in the form of a kaao, a narrative rehearsed in prose interspersed with song, in which form old tales are still recited by Hawaiian story-tellers. It was put into writing by a native Hawaiian, Haleole by name, who hoped thus to awaken in his countrymen an interest in genuine native story-telling based upon the folklore of their race and preserving its ancient customs—already fast disappearing since Cook's rediscovery of the group in 1778 opened the way to foreign influence—and by this means to inspire in them old ideals of racial glory. Haleole was born about the time of the death of Kaméhaméha I, a year or two before the arrival of the first American missionaries and the establishment of the Protestant mission in Hawaii. In 1834 he entered the mission school at Lahainaluna, Maui, where his interest in the ancient history of his people was stimulated and trained under the teaching of Lorrin Andrews, compiler of the Hawaiian dictionary, published in 1865, and Sheldon Dibble, under whose direction David Malo prepared his collection of "Hawaiian Antiquities," and whose History of the Sandwich Islands (1843) is an authentic source for the early history of the mission. Such early Hawaiian writers as Malo, Kamakau, and John Ii were among Haleole's fellow students. After leaving school he became first a teacher, then an editor. In the early sixties he brought out the Laieikawai, first as a serial in the Hawaiian newspaper, the Kuokoa, then, in 1863, in book form. Later, in 1885, two part-Hawaiian editors, Bolster and Meheula, revised and reprinted the story, this time in pamphlet form, together with several other romances culled from Hawaiian journals, as the initial volumes of a series of Hawaiian reprints, a venture which ended in financial failure. The romance of Laieikawai therefore remains the sole piece of Hawaiian, imaginative writing to reach book form. Not only this, but it represents the single composition of a Polynesian mind working upon the material of an old legend and eager to create a genuine national literature. As such it claims a kind of classic interest.
