How do you say kiss in Hawaii?

Then there is the Honi. In short, honi, means to kiss. The gravity of the honi in the Hawaiian culture is often unknown to visitors, which, in my opinion is a shame. It's a beautiful act of love and respect between two people.

When planning your wedding in Hawaii, couples often are looking to intertwine traditions of local culture. Most will choose to exchange lei where you can learn more here. Then there is the Honi. In short, honi, means to kiss. The gravity of the honi in the Hawaiian culture is often unknown to visitors, which, in my opinion is a shame. It’s a beautiful act of love and respect between two people. During this “kiss”, two people touch foreheads, with noses touching and then inhaling as the same time. This act represents two very distinct ideas, very present in the local culture. It is the exchanging of ha – the breath of life, as well as mana -the spiritual power that resides in each of us. I love the Honi for all that is symbolizes, exchanging breath and and spirituality. It’s a beautiful moment to capture and one I would highly consider the Honi for your Hawaiian wedding ceremony. “The honi is a Polynesian greeting in which two people greet each other by pressing noses and inhaling at the same time. This is a very honorific as this represents the exchange of ha–the breath of life, and mana–spiritual power between two people. This act and the concepts behind it are very unusual to western audiences and care should be taken to explain the spirituality and sacredness of this simple act of greeting.”

Renee Bishaw, Hawaiian Greeting/Protocol

“The ancient custom of honi when meeting another included touching foreheads together, inhaling, kissing the other on the cheek or lips, hugging and then exhaling. It is said that this custom enabled the ancients to detect who visited their homes hours after they left by the distinctive body odor of that person. We’ve also read that the kiss used to be on the lips but changed to the cheek or eliminated when the tuberculosis epidemic hit Hawai`i. ” jeannemaire is Hawaii’s premiere destination wedding photographer.

What is n in n 1?

At its most basic definition, N+1 simply means that there is a power backup in place should any single system component fail. The 'N' in this equation stands for the number of components necessary to run your system. The '+1' means there is one independent backup should a component of that system fail.

At its most basic definition, N+1 simply means that there is a power backup in place should any single system component fail. The ‘N’ in this equation stands for the number of components necessary to run your system. The ‘+1’ means there is one independent backup should a component of that system fail.

To help you understand, I’ll give you a little scenario. Say you have a family of three, two parents and one kid. All three family members drive, and all three have cars. But, you also have one extra car, in the case of one of the regular three breaking down. So the three cars is the ‘N’ – the amount needed to keep your family running smoothly. The ‘+1’ is the backup for that. Make sense?

Now, there is a level of redundancy called 2N. In that instance, you have a duplicated component for every single component. In the car scenario, there would be three extra cars (six total), one specifically for each vehicle. As you can imagine, that system is incredibly wasteful. At Green House Data, we actually have a bit of a mixed system that is referred to as concurrently maintainable. In words more succinct than my own: “Very simply, it means that anything in your data center can be shut down and kept down for a period of time, without directly affecting ongoing processing…If everything has been well maintained, the statistical chance of a simultaneous failure practically drops off the charts. Further, to actually bring down a facility that is designed and installed for concurrent maintainability most likely takes not two, but at least three sequential events.” (source)
