Faber Grabs TBF Championship Lead
Ty Faber
April 7, 2017 by Dan Johnson
Table Rock Lake has never been accused of being a boring fishery, or of hosting tediously predictable bass tournaments. As the dust settled following day four of The Bass Federation's 2017 National Championship, the Rock's reputation for roller-coaster leaderboard rides and white-knuckle comebacks is as solid as ever.
After a week of cool, rainy, unstable conditions, today's sunny skies and 60-degree weather boosted the surface temp into the 60s and fueled a flurry of shallow-water action as spawn-minded bass headed toward the bank. Still, the action wasn't universally fast, and more than a few competitors found their fortunes in flux.
Ty Faber is living proof of the impoundment's ability to knock you down one day and build you back up the next. Representing the New Mexico Bass Federation, Faber, of Colorado, was 56th overall among the boaters on day one of the five-day event with two bass for 4 pounds, 5 ounces.
The next day, he improved to 40th with 8 pounds, 6 ounces for a 12-pound, 11-ounce two-day total. In the process, he claimed New Mexico's slot in the next leg of the championship and kept fishing while more than half the 204-angler field went home.
Weights were zeroed at this point, giving the remaining 49 boaters and 49 co-anglers (the top of each category from each state and province) a fresh start. Faber responded on Thursday with a 10-pound, 7-ounce limit that put him in fourth place in the Southwest Division, which he'd need to win to move on to Saturday's final round.
Friday, while his rivals faltered, Faber vaulted into first place overall and won his division with a 15-pound, 15-ounce limit that gives him 26-06 headed into Saturday's shootout.
"I didn't really do anything different today than I've done all week. I just finally got around a few good fish," he says. "It still wasn't a consistent bite. They bit a little better during the morning, but I caught them throughout the day."
Looking ahead, he admits tomorrow will be a surprise.
"I really have no idea what's going to happen on this lake," he says. "It's been different every day. I hadn't caught a 3-pounder all week until today. I just finally got around a few better fish."
Indiana boater Allen Boyd, who won the 2011 TBF National Championship on Nickajack Lake, experienced the more fickle side of Table Rock's nature.
The previous day's leader brought in nearly 10 pounds less on Friday, weighing just three fish for 8 pounds, 2 ounces. Still, it put him atop the Northern Division and second overall with 26 pounds even.
"I started off this morning catching one of my big fish on the second cast, but it went downhill from there," he says. "A lot of local boat traffic running around didn't help anything, and it just wasn't my day."
Despite the turn of events, Boyd has no plans to change his strategy.
"I'm going back and doing the same thing," he says. "I think the fish are there to win this. They've just got to move up and eat."
North Carolina boater Jeff Hager landed the day's heaviest limit. The 16-pound, 10-ounce sack gave him the Southern Division's golden ticket to Saturday's grand finale, and moved him into third overall with 25-11.
"At our first spot, we had five keepers in the boat in the first 25 minutes," he says. "From there we just kept flipping and pitching jigs, and picked up fish all during the day. The last hour and a half we caught some of our bigger fish, and I got one of the best ones on the last cast of the day."
New York boater Brad Brodnicki has been a study in consistency, landing limits throughout the event. He paced the entire field the first two days. Falling water temperatures and changing water clarity challenged him Thursday, and he slipped slightly in the overall ranks but still led the Eastern Division.
Brodnicki's Eastern domination continued Friday as he moved into the finals with a 12-pound, 8-ounce limit and 25-pound, 2-ounce total weight.
"I'm really excited," he says. "The Lord blessed me. It was a grind today, and I fished all brand-new water. I started out with one fish early and went about three hours without another. So, I went back to the pattern I've been using all week, just trying it in different spots. I ended up culling one fish, but it was a big fish at the end, an hour before weigh-in, that really sealed the deal."
Another past TBF champion, Robert Harkness will also be in the hunt for the 2017 title Saturday. The West Virginia boater topped the Mid-Atlantic Division with a 22-pound, 10-ounce total. Though he's nearly 4 pounds behind Faber, it's premature to count the former champ out.
"I was in fifth place and 8 pounds out in 2009 on Bull Shoals, and I ended up winning," he recalls.
Championship experience aside, Harkness also hopes a unique game plan will fuel another comeback. While many of his competitors are fishing relatively shallow, he's plying a deeper pattern.
"I'm not sight-fishing," he says. "I'm fishing deep off structure, catching smallmouths and spots."
Certainly, Saturday's forecast for air temperatures in the high 70s could see the shallow bite catch fire. But Harkness notes that the balmy weekend will no doubt intensify pressure on those fish, as well.
"It could play a role, but we'll have to wait and see," he says.
Connecticut's Martins leads co-anglers
Among the co-angler contingency, Steven Martins of Connecticut topped the Eastern Division and sits in first place overall with a 21-pound, 5-ounce two-day total. He brought in 11-08 Friday to follow up 9-13 on Thursday.
Running April 3-8, the TBF National Championship pits 204 anglers against one another for more than $300,000 in cash and prizes.
Divided equally into boater and co-angler divisions, the full field competes the first two days of the event. The field narrows to 49 boaters and 49 co-anglers – the top from each state and province in attendance – for days three and four, and then to the top boater and co-angler in each of seven divisions for the final day.
Each divisional winner also advances to the 2017 T-H Marine FLW Bass Fishing League All-American. The winning boater also qualifies for the 2017 Forrest Wood Cup for a shot at winning the biggest payday in bass fishing.
The winning boater will also receive the $100,000 "Living the Dream" package to include a cash prize, fully paid entry fees on the 2018 FLW Tour as a pro, travel expense stipends for each event and use of a wrapped Ranger boat with Evinrude outboard for the year. The top co-angler will receive a $20,000 prize package that includes $10,000 cash and fully paid entry fees into the Costa FLW Series division of choice, as well as other prizes.
The championship concludes tomorrow at the Port of Kimberling Marina and Resort, 72 Marina Way, Kimberling City, Mo. Takeoff is at 7 a.m. CT, and weigh-in begins at 3 p.m.

Giovanni's Room
A Father's Role in the Damaged Masculinity of "Giovanni's Room" Anonymous College
Throughout Giovanni's Room, Baldwin makes a series of references to David's sense of fabricated manhood or masculinity impressed upon him by his father. In the first chapters, David alludes to the hollow jocularity between father and son. This hyperbolized masculinity from his father leads to the formation of David's fervid belief in archetypal manhood, inducing his unconscious, lifelong pursuit of an ideal masculinity. This pursuit ultimately becomes one of the driving forces behind his actions for the remainder of the novel.
Though nameless, David's father is the sole archetypal "man" in the entire novel, and therefore is the only model whom the young David has to form his own perceptions of what it truly means to be a "man." In David's childhood, David's father was distant, and the times David interacted with him, any paternal instincts were veiled under a mask of fraternal companionship, not fatherhood: "We were not like father and son, my father sometimes proudly said, we were like buddies. I think my father sometimes actually believed this. I did not. I did not want to be his buddy; I wanted to be his son" (16). As a result, David was forced to interpret and form his own understandings of masculinity, and with no true...

The following are UBS' latest short-term trading strategies for EUR/USD, AUD/USD, NZD/USD, and USD/CAD.
EUR/USD: continues to move lower and the year's low is not that far away. We expect pressure to persist ahead of next week, although short-term accounts will likely be happy to book some profit. The US holiday this week may slow things down, but we see no reason to change strategy. Play the short side and add on any moves to this morning's high of 1.0651, with a stop at 1.0685.
AUD/USD: opened near the Friday high today but has since come off, with no clear catalyst for the move other than broad US dollar strength and possibly some short-term break out buyers cutting longs. The key pivot on the topside is 0.7250. With commodities trading soft, we prefer selling rallies as long as the pair is below 0.7250 in order to play the USD from the long side. Resistance comes in around 0.7210/20; support at 0.7135, 0.7100 and 0.7050.
NZD/USD: price action remains soft and the pair failed to rally on Friday, even with AUDUSD higher. We see NZDUSD heading lower and would stick to selling rallies between 0.6580 and 0.6650, with a stop above 0.6750. The first support comes in at 0.6500, followed by 0.6430 and 0.6240.
USD/CAD: Canadian September retail sales data on Friday disappointed, pointing to soft growth heading into Q4. Inflation was steady at 1%, suggesting that the central bank will keep monetary policy on hold next month even if US rates rise...The pair has been supported in Asia today and traded up to 1.3400, with crude oil selling off. We prefer sticking to longs and would continue to trail a stop up to 1.3250.

These numbers reflect estimated student expenses for the 2018-2019 school year. Amounts will change slightly from year to year, but as the cost of college increases, the scholarship packages will correspondingly increase. Your official financial aid award will be included in a letter directly from Macalester.
The first $500 of outside funding will not affect grants from Macalester. Macalester grants will be reduced by fifty percent of the amount of outside funding exceeding $500. Federal Work-Study may be reduced to comply with Federal Student Aid rules requirements. Total grants and outside funding may not exceed the cost of attendance.
Macalester requires all students to have health insurance. If the student is not covered by his or her own health insurance plan, Macalester will provide a grant to pay for the Macalester College health insurance plan.
Students are expected to pay for travel to and from campus as part of their contribution from summer work and/or academic year earnings. The grant from Macalester will be increased based on the estimated cost of travel.
Students must reapply each year for financial aid in order to maintain the match scholarship award.
The grants provided will include a Campus Residence Grant which cannot be used when a student resides off campus (typically during junior and/or senior year). The 2018-2019 Campus Residence Grant is $1,112.
Macalester is committed to meeting 100% of demonstrated financial need for all admitted students. 70% of U.S. first-year students receive need-based financial aid in fall of 2017.

Q: How to map a function to a pre-batched ('BatchDataset') tensor in Tensorflow I am making data windows (input, output pairs of windows) from time series data. I have already converted my time series to a tf dataset, where each batch has the number of time steps equal to the total window sizes I need.
 def make_dataset(data=train_df[0]):
    ds = tf.keras.preprocessing.timeseries_dataset_from_array(
        data=data,
        targets=None,
        sequence_length=total_window_size,
        sequence_stride=1,
        shuffle=True,
        batch_size=32
    )

    return ds

Example of the shape returned:
for example in tensor.take(1):
  print(f'shape: {example.shape}')

shape: (32, 48, 18)

What I need to do now is split the time dimension into my input-output pairs, and I have a function to do this, however, when I try to map this function to my 'ds' in the above function I get the following error:
'BatchDataset' object is not subscriptable

I am hoping someone can help me understand where I am going wrong? I am pretty new to tensorflow... My code is below, in this example 'input slice' and 'label_slice' are 0 and 24 respectively. So my aim is to split my batches into input-output pairs of length 24 each.
def split_window(features):
  inputs = features[:, input_slice, :]
  labels = features[:, labels_slice, :]

  inputs.set_shape([None, input_width, None])
  labels.set_shape([None, label_width, None])

  return inputs, labels

 def make_dataset(data=train_df[0]):
    data = np.array(data, dtype=np.float32)
    ds = tf.keras.preprocessing.timeseries_dataset_from_array(
        data=data,
        targets=None,
        sequence_length=total_window_size,
        sequence_stride=1,
        shuffle=True,
        batch_size=32
    )

    ds = ds.map(split_window(ds))

    return ds

tensor = make_dataset()
tensor

'BatchDataset' object is not subscriptable

A: Your snippet of code looks similar to the tutorial of Time Series in Tensorflow. Based on that, I modified the main class WindowGenerator() (excluded the parts of train/val/test datasets and output-labels selection) to a simpler class suitable to your question.

    class WindowGenerator():

      def __init__(self, input_width, label_width, shift):

       self.input_width = input_width
       self.label_width = label_width
       self.shift = shift

       self.total_window_size = input_width + shift
       self.input_slice = slice(0, input_width)
       self.input_indices = np.arange(self.total_window_size[self.input_slice]
       self.label_start = self.total_window_size - self.label_width
       self.labels_slice = slice(self.label_start, None)
       self.label_indices = np.arange(self.total_window_size [self.labels_slice]

      def split_window(self, features):
       inputs = features[:, self.input_slice, :]
       labels = features[:, self.labels_slice, :]
       inputs.set_shape([None, self.input_width, None])
       labels.set_shape([None, self.label_width, None])

    return inputs, labels

      def make_dataset(self, data):
       data = np.array(data, dtype=np.float32)
       ds = tf.keras.utils.timeseries_dataset_from_array(
         data=data,
         targets=None,
         sequence_length=self.total_window_size,
         sequence_stride=1,
         shuffle=True,
         batch_size=batch_size,)
       ds = ds.map(self.split_window)

       return ds

input_width=24
label_width=24
total_windth = input_width + label_width
batch_size = 32

window = WindowGenerator(input_width=input_width, label_width=label_width, shift=1)
dataset = window.make_dataset(train_df[0])

I would recommend, though, to use Dataset.window(). It is simpler and more intuitive.
dataset = tf.data.Dataset.from_tensor_slices(train_df[0])
dataset = dataset.window(total_windth, shift=1, drop_remainder=True)
dataset = dataset.flat_map(lambda window: window.batch(batch_size))
dataset = dataset.map(lambda window: (window[:-label_width], window[-input_width:]))

Get to Know Emily Dickinson, in Two Crows Theatre Company's "The Belle of Amherst"
Tracy Michelle Arnold as Emily Dickinson in "The Belle of Amherst." Photo by Maureen Janson Heintz.
Regarded as an eccentric literary recluse, there are few poets more mysterious or fascinating than Emily Dickinson. Virtually unknown in her lifetime — she saw only ten of her poems published — her voice is now standard study in high school English classes and she is often grouped with Emerson and Whitman as unique and important 19th century American writers. So it's not surprising that William Luce's one woman show about Dickinson's private life, "The Belle of Amherst" was such as success when it debuted in 1976. Whole generations had grown up wondering what it would be like to be a guest for afternoon tea in the Dickinson family home in a small town in Massachusetts.
Two Crows Theatre Company, a new troupe in Spring Green, gives audiences just such a glimpse into her private world in their current production of "The Belle of Amherst," featuring American Players Theatre favorites, both onstage and behind the scenes. Colleen Madden directs Tracy Michele Arnold in the solo piece, which is delightful for both its intimacy and its entertaining portrayal of the thoroughly unconventional writer.
For those who were taught that Emily Dickinson was a ghostly figure dressed in white, probably irrevocably disappointed in love, who refused to leave her father's house — and sometimes her own room — because she was so uncomfortable with the world, Arnold's Emily will come as a delightful surprise. Combining the energy contained in her verse, and the character's professed love of her nieces and nephews, along with her wish that she could forever remain as open, emotional and amazed by the world as a child, this Dickinson is thrilled that the audience has come for a visit. She is eager to share the life that is confined to the family house — immediately reciting her prized recipe for a spicy fruitcake — and the relentless life of her mind, which marvels in nature, celebrates a personal relationship with God that is found outside organized religion, and is driven to write in her own distinct style, reveling in glorious words "that you can tip your hat to."

The narrative is a mixture of stories about life in her small town; Dickinson's personal disappointments and aspirations surrounding her writing; relationships with teachers, editors, friends, siblings, and her cold, authoritarian parents; and flashbacks to key moments in her life that shaped her present. Interspersed with biographical scenes and musings on the meaning of life, the existence of heaven, and Dickinson's disdain for the conventional, Arnold recites many of the poet's pieces. Some feel like presentations while others blend seamlessly into her exuberant conversation. "Because I Could Not Stop for Death," "Success is Counted Sweetest," and "Hope is a Thing with Feathers," stand out for their familiarity, but others sneak up on the audience as a natural, extended thought. And it is to both Madden and Arnold's credit that the play, which could easily be static and dour, shows so many colors of the poet, rising and falling with events that unfold over a lifetime instead of relying on a standard dramatic arc.
Performed in the back room of the former Village Tavern, (now called The Jefferson) the large, central stage is filled with period-esque furniture, including Emily's bedroom and a large Victorian inspired parlor. Madden makes good use of the space and Arnold is seldom still. Her blocking follows her thoughts — flitting from one subject to another, often while she performs small domestic tasks of wrapping a cake to send to the neighbors, winding balls of yarn, or serving tea. In a signature white dress and plain, chestnut wig, Arnold makes a convincing 19th century spinster, who considers herself plain and unremarkable.
Playing only through February 16th, "The Belle of Amherst" is like visiting an old friend, warmed by a cup of tea on a cold winter's night. It is not only worth the drive, it's an auspicious start for a new theater company.

Home ‹ Board index ‹ Blogs ‹ OMNICELL's Blog ‹ Im beginning to get iT!
Ive got to have a women that is willing to stand in front of me; look at me and tell me she likes me and I matter to her! matter enough that she doesn't want to loose me! She has to humble herself and take a chance; looks aren't enough!
Ive had women like me; but they wont back it up! I guess Im no worth it to them; so; I walk! I walk away and keep on walking!
I cant or wont be with a women when I dont know if she is not worth my time! Ive got to have proof ;something to work with; anything!
I have to know something about her to make it worth my time not to lose her; to want to be with her; to fight for her! to fight to keep her because I actually want her!
If I had a women that was willing to stay with me and really didnt want to loose me; really felt it and stood in front of me and explained it to me; she really liked me; liked me over others; and she was suppose to be with me and claimed it and would show me something to work with; Im not looking for anyone else! thats all I want! For her to be pretty to me is not enough; it goes nowhere.
The problem is; where is she?; Ive been working with the universe for a long time! Im still waiting!
My mental condition is clearing up enough to think strait again! Something like that; my mind is a beat up carnival show; but Im getting their; getting close to happiness; or what could create happiness!
I saw this photo of 4 women I know! non of them would humble themselves in front of me; non of them! at least 3 liked me; the third I wanted to sleep with and could have! not one of them humbled themselves! nothing! I didnt mean enough to any of them to simply stand in front of me and tell me how they felt! Ive got to know something about the persons character to work with! anything! Something; give me something; something to grab on to! Non of them would humble them selves; I have absolutely no interest in any of them; nothing! I wrote them all off!
So; where is she going to come from!
If a women is not worth fighting for; she's a waist of my time!
I undersand that Ive been in my situation slowly healing and Im grateful for that; However, when it comes to women; Im frustrated! No one is worth my time because no one will prove they are worth my time! They dont seem to care enough to impress me with anything! I guess Im not worth it for them; so, I got to move on!
So, Im grateful to know what I know; now; I have to work with source energy to bring her to me; allow me to spy down the roads of unraveling journeys and pathways!
She has to be worth it! She has to show me she wants to take care of me! and she doesn't want to loose me; that she really likes me! She can only do this to my face standing in front of me taking a subordinate position of humility and telling the truth. Im interested in no one else; no one!

103. Enlistments in the second half of 1916: background characteristics Part 2 – religion, units and service history

Post 23: Enlistments to the end of 1914: background characteristics Part 2 – religion, units and service history

Post 63: Enlistments in the second half of 1915: background characteristics Part 2 – religion, units and service history
It continues the ongoing work to describe and interpret the essential character of all those associated with the Shire of Alberton who enlisted in WW1.
The table below gives the religious affiliation of all those enlisting from the Shire over the period August 1914 to the end of 1916. It also shows the equivalent figures for males in the 1911 Census for the county of Buln Buln.
Once again, there is no dramatic variation evident in the figures. The broad religious profile of the community continued to be reflected in the enlistments.
Importantly, the Roman Catholic enlistments held up. Admittedly the size of the cohort is small, but on the face of it, to the end of 1916, there was no indication that events in Ireland had had any impact on enlistments from Roman Catholics in the area. Moreover, one of the enlistments was that of the local Roman Catholic priest (Fr. Sterling). He enlisted nearly 6 months after the Easter Rebellion and one month before the Conscription Referendum. His enlistment would have been seen in the local community as a demonstration of support for the War effort. It would have been seen as proof that, to that point, there was no religious division over such support for the War.
64% of of this cohort of enlistments went to reinforce the infantry battalions, with the greatest single number (20) signed as reinforcements for 2 Brigade (Battalions 5-8). There was a small number of enlistments for the Light Horse – and Camel Corps – destined for the Middle East. There was also a small number enlistments in the artillery and other specialist units. One more atypical enlistment was that of Vern Everard Wilson from Carrajung. He enlisted on 17/11/16 and by the time he embarked for overseas on 6/12/16 he had transferred to the Australian Flying Corps. Jeffrey Graham Jeffreys also transferred to the AFC, but not until late 1918.
Vernon Carlisle Brown, the young doctor from Malvern, held the rank of captain on appointment and Fr. Sterling also held the rank of 'captain chaplain'. The rest of the men enlisted as privates. Vera Norton's rank was 'nurse'.
Once again, the comparative table of casualty levels for each six-monthly cohort (below) shows that the rate of death declined over the latest 6 month period under review. Additionally, the rate of medical discharge increased. As has been argued before, it is difficult to draw definite conclusions from the data, beyond the superficial observation that the later in the War a person enlisted, the less chance they had of being killed. Equally, any relationship between a falling death rate and an increasing rate in the number of men discharged as 'medically unfit' is as difficult to establish. Conceivably, as the War dragged on, improved tactics, training and strategic planning etc did lead to lower death rates in battle. But how, if at all, this reduction affected the increase in the number of men being discharged as medically unfit – for example did fewer deaths translate to more wounded – is a highly problematic question.
At the same time, the case histories of the men in this cohort do suggest at least one reason why the rate of medical discharge was increasing. Basically, men who should never have been passed as fit – and in most cases these men never saw action – were taken on, only to be repatriated, a short time later, to Australia for medical discharge.
The case of George Sidebotham is a good example. He was born in Manchester, UK and was working in the area as a labourer. He was in his early twenties and he gave his permanent address as c/o Mrs Newell, Yarram. Mrs Newelll ran a boarding house.
George's name appears twice on the list of those rejected by the local doctors. The reason given was 'hernia'. But then he passed the medical and enlisted in Warragul (14/11/16). At that time he acknowledged that he had been previously rejected. His enlistment did not last long and he was discharged as 'medically unfit' on 5/12/16. The medical notes talk about him having been bitten by a dog 9 years earlier and not having been able to walk properly since that time. There is also a reference to 'polio'. Incredibly, George was able to enlist again – acknowledging previous rejections and service – in late 1917 (5/12/17 at Footscray). This time he left for overseas service (2/2/18). He reached the UK on 20/4/18 but then, just 2 months later, he was repatriated to Australia. He did not see service outside the UK. He arrived back in Australia on 7/6/18 and was then discharged as medically unfit on 20/6/18. This time the reason given was 'anterior poliomyelitis'.
Another example of the same problem involved William Heyes. He was another young immigrant worker who had been born in the UK (London). He was only 19 yo and single when he first enlisted. His name also appeared on the list of those rejected by the local doctors. The problem was his eyesight. After several rejections he managed to enlist in Melbourne on 16/9/16. He did acknowledge his previous rejections (eyesight). Unlike Private Sidebotham, Heyes did manage to join his unit (39 Battalion) in France. He joined in early April 1917 but immediately he was hospitalised with 'defective vision' and after further eye tests he was repatriated to the UK in September 1917 and then sent back to Australia. He arrived home on 10/12/17 and was discharged as 'medically unfit' on 24/1/18.
One last example of men who, arguably, should never have been accepted as recruits involved Oliver Matthews. He was older – 35 yo – than the other 2 men. He was also single and gave his occupation as 'saw mill hand', but it appears he was also involved, to some extent at least, in the family farm. He was from Won Wron. He was also on the list of those rejected by the local doctors. Prior to being accepted, he had tried at least twice to enlist but was rejected on the basis of 'teeth'. Then in October 1916 he was successful. He had his initial medical at Yarram and the final one in Melbourne. He acknowledged previous rejections. His service lasted only a few months because he was discharged as medically unfit on 7/2/17. Unlike the other 2 men, he never embarked for overseas service. The medical condition cited for his discharge was 'emphysema'.
The examples highlight how medical standards had declined significantly by late 1916. The risks in accepting men with pre-existing medical conditions or poor general health and fitness were obvious. Yet, remarkably, in this cohort of 70 men, 21 (30%) had been rejected previously, at least once.
The table also highlights how the same high casualty levels continued to characterise the experience of all those who enlisted: 14% of the cohort died on active service and 43% were discharged as 'medically unfit'. Irrespective of whether they were medically discharged, 41% of the cohort were wounded at least once (gunshot wound, shrapnel wound, gassed, trench feet …) and 73% were hospitalised, at least once, most commonly with influenza, and other diseases including mumps, measles, pneumonia, bronchitis, various skin diseases and VD. For those who survived the War, the legacy was to be ongoing. On these figures for the Shire of Alberton, potentially, at least 40% of those returning from the War were to require ongoing medical support of some kind.
The most distinctive feature of this latest cohort of men to enlist from the Shire of Alberton is its size relative to the preceding cohorts. Clearly, the second half of 1916 saw a dramatic decline in enlistments. Also very apparent is the continuing decline in overall levels of fitness and health.

Ayutthaya is shown in the Fra Mauro map of the world (approximately 1450 CE, with south at the top) under the name "Scierno", derived from the Persian "Shahr-I-Naw", meaning "New City"[1]
Ayutthaya is named after the city of Ayodhya in India, the birthplace of Rama in the Ramayana (Thai, Ramakien); phra (from Khmer: ព្រះ Preah) is a prefix for a noun concerning a royal person; nakhon designates an important or capital city (from Sanskrit: Nagar); the Thai honorific sri or si is from the Indian term of veneration Sri.
Main article: Ayutthaya Kingdom
Ayutthaya was founded in 1351[a] by King U Thong, who went there to escape a smallpox outbreak in Lop Buri and proclaimed it the capital of his kingdom, often referred to as the Ayutthaya kingdom or Siam. It is named after the ancient Indian city of Ayodhya, synonymous with Rama, the 7th incarnation of the Hindu God Vishnu. Ayutthaya became the second Siamese capital after Sukhothai.[2] It is estimated that Ayutthaya by the year 1600 had a population of about 300,000, with the population perhaps reaching 1,000,000 around 1700, making it one of the world's largest cities at that time,[3] when it was sometimes known as the "Venice of the East".[4][5]
In 1767, the city was destroyed by the Burmese army, resulting in the collapse of the kingdom. The ruins of the old city are preserved in the Ayutthaya historical park,[6] which is recognised internationally as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The ruins, characterised by the prang (reliquary towers) and gigantic monasteries, give an idea of the city's past splendour.[7] Modern Ayutthaya was refounded a few kilometres to the east.
GeographyEdit
The city is about 40 miles (64 km) north of Bangkok.[8]
ClimateEdit
Ayutthaya, located in the central plains, is affected by three seasons:
Hot Season: March – May
Rainy season: June – October
Cool season: November – February

A Lap Joint Flange is a two piece device that is much like a weld-neck flange but also like a loose slip-on flange. One piece is a sleeve called a 'Stub-end" and is shaped like a short piece of pipe with a weld bevel on one end and a narrow shoulder on the other end called the hub. The hub is the same outside diameter as the raised face (gasket contact surface) of a weld neck flange. The thickness of the hub is normally about ¼" to 3/8″. The back face of the hub has a rounded transition (or inside fillet) that joins the hub to the sleeve.

Bioluminescence: Go with the Glow
11 February 2009By Kate Hubert
One of the biggest thrills of a yacht voyage for guests and crews alike is to dive into a nighttime sea that explodes with a stunning underwater firework display. Just as this greenish light outlines otherwise invisible dolphins playing in your bow wave, you own body glows with thousands of tiny lights. Float on your back, wave your arms and legs and make glow-angels for the folks on deck... ahhhh!
But what exactly is this shimmering display?
If you said phosphorescence, sorry, no. Phosphorescence is caused when inanimate objects absorb energy, then slowly glow. The light you see in the sea is alive – hence its name bioluminescence – literally, "living light."
Apart from the light emitted by a few land animals like fireflies, the vast majority of bioluminescence is only seen in the oceans, whether warm or cold. But why do sea creatures put on such a show?
Scientists believe that the ability to glow in the dark has evolved over 30 separate times in nature – and there are many different theories as to why:
Camouflage:
Glowing lights don't seem like great camouflage, but sometimes truth is stranger than fiction.
The underbelly of the cookie-cutter shark glows, camouflaging it against the brighter surface of the water when seen from below – except, that is, for a small patch which doesn't glow. This dark part just happens to be bait fish-shaped. It attracts predators, and the cheeky shark grabs a bite when they are tempted close. It even has special cookie-cutter teeth so it can take a chunk and swim away before the other fish knows what's hit them!
Perhaps the most famous example of this are Anglerfish that lure their prey within reach with a "lamp" on a dangling "rod" hung in front of their jaws.
But the bioluminescence you're most likely to see is caused by much smaller lifeforms. Dinoflagellates are mostly single-celled plankton that use a whip or "flagellum" to propel themselves along. Many can photosynthesize, employing a light-giving chemical that's similar to the chlorophyll they use to get energy from sunlight. This makes their bioluminescence even brighter after a very sunny day. When they detect a predator, they luminesce to attract even larger predators to attack their attackers! And as they can't differentiate between a fish, a yacht or a human, they'll flash their alarm whenever the water is violently disturbed. Hence the starburst you get when swimming, as well as the glowing trail in your yacht's wake....
Other creatures flash for love rather than out of fear . Ostracods (tiny crustaceans sometimes known as seed shrimp) attract their mates under the sea like fireflies.
Repulsion:
Just as squids use ink to confuse predators in the daytime, some can squirt out a cloud of glowing liquid at night. Other sea creatures emit a really bright flash to try to temporarily blind and confuse predators.
Bacteria seem to use light to communicate – it helps them group together and join host organisms and It's known that squid use color to communicate during the daytime.
Illumination:
Perhaps the most obvious reason sea creatures produce light is to see, and of course, some of them simply use their light as a spotlight to find prey. But once again, nature can be even more cunning than that. The evil-looking deep-sea monsters called Black dragonfish produce a red glow so they can detect red prey (normally invisible in the deep ocean where the red light is filtered out). The prey can't see the dragonfish – next thing it knows it's been grabbed by a row of jagged teeth.
Now you're an expert on bioluminescence, how do you find it when you want to see it? The best times are around the new moon, when the sky is darkest – and it's even better if the days are really sunny in order to prime those dinoflagellates. So bust out those snorkels and dive into the living light – just beware if you're skinny dipping as it makes everything it outlines glow!
Have you seen bioluminescence from the yacht? Where's the best region to look for it?

Q: HTML Multiple select change 'None selected' text I have a select list with multi select option:
<select data-bind="attr:{'id':'multilistS'+Id()},foreach: Hlist" multiple="multiple">
     <option data-bind="click:$root.changeShole,value:$data.Id, text:N,attr:{'selected':$data.Sel}">Cheese</option>
</select>

but I want to change the 'None Selected' text. It is possible to do this in HTML code or just in JavaScript using nonSelectedText option?

A: You really should take John Pavek's advice to read up on the options bindings. Knockout provides good tools specifically for this, and your construction uses none of them.
noneselectedtext appears to be a feature of the jQuery-UI multiselect widget. If you are using that, then you will want to use a binding handler for it.
Here is a simple example of what you describe, with a message that changes based on whether anything in the multiselect is selected.

const vm = {
  optionsCaption: ko.pureComputed(function() {
    return (vm.selectedOptions().length === 0) ? 'Please select at least one' : 'ok';
  }),
  selectedOptions: ko.observableArray([]),
  Hlist: ko.observableArray([{
    Id: 1,
    N: 'One'
  }, {
    Id: 2,
    N: 'Two'
  }])
};

ko.applyBindings(vm);

<select data-bind="options: Hlist, optionsText: 'N', optionsValue: 'Id', selectedOptions: selectedOptions" multiple="multiple">
</select>

A: I guess what you want is initially the field says "None Selected". When the user selects some options, the text changes. Is that correct? If yes, this might work:
<option disabled selected> value>None Selected</option>


My current research is in stochastic processes in molecular biophysics. Specifically, I am studying programmed ribosomal frameshifting in viral protein synthesis. My model aims to predict translation rates and frameshift efficiencies of sequences of RNA based on the physics of molecular interactions. My advisors are Joe Watkins (Mathematics) and Koen Visscher (Biophysics). Previous projects have included the orbital evolution of a class of planetesimals in the solar system, agent-based modeling of swarm behavior, and star formation in dwarf galaxies.
I am also very interested in education and outreach. For the 2009-2010 school year I worked with Arnulfo Velasquez at Wakefield Middle School as a G-TEAMS Fellow. G-TEAMS (Graduate Students and Teachers Engaging in Mathematical Sciences) is a GK-12 program funded by the National Science Foundation to pair graduate students in STEM fields with K-12 teachers.
