Punakea palms in maui hawaii6/29/2023 Lastly, Kai teaches us how to make coconut milk farm to table in its purest form. I imagine the beautification of this table to be created by tools held in the hands of guests from around the world while they gather and share the bounty of coconuts. We finished the tour by gathering at the farms outdoor kitchen the family dining table made of local harvested wood holds much history and exhibits many imperfections. The coconut water chilled from the morning shadows the mountains cast on the farm, was delicious! As we sat on the lawn still glistening with the morning dew, we moved on to open more mature coconuts to sample the meat in its gelatinous stage as well as the ripest stage that we are all most familiar with. Kai cuts down coconuts in varying stages of maturity breaking open just enough of the first coconut to fit a bamboo straw inside. While you hang on to his every word, anticipation grows when do we get to try the coconut? He teaches you about the life cycle of the coconut tree, the vast uses of every part of the tree from shelter, textiles, food and survival, and shares his story of how the farm evolved. Kai guides you through the coconut grove on foot. You are greeted by Kai shorts, t-shirt, slippahs, lauhala hat and a gracious smile. Upon arriving at Punakea Palms, you realize by attending the tour you have in fact been invited into someones home. The views ocean that is never ending, mountains that need exploring, and a luscious tree tunnel that passes Leodas Kitchen and Pie Shop (we will visit Leodas another time). Around each corner the view is more spectacular leaving you with anticipation of what will appear around the next bend. The Pali Highway will take you through winding curves as you venture toward Lahaina. A 35 minute drive from Kihei along the most incredible coastline. Nothing beats the taste of fresh coconut milk, especially when it's served in "The Aloha State.Punakea Palms is a coconut farm nestled into the foothills of the picturesque West Maui Mountains. They're much more refreshing, especially following a strenuous hike through paradise. Coconuts in Hawaii are different than those found in your local grocery store. This area of the island had so many coconuts planted that it was eventually nicknamed "The Coconut Coast." If you happen to visit Hawaii one day, you'll certainly want to try a real coconut. In Kauai, you can expect to find groves of coconut trees. And if that's not impressive enough, some coconut trees have even been known to grow more than 100 feet tall. Regarding their lifespan, coconut trees in Hawaii usually live for more than 100 years. In Hawaii, coconut trees are among the most popular trees. There are many types of trees located around the world. How long do coconut trees typically live in Hawaii? You can't visit "The Aloha State" without somehow coming into contact with a coconut in one way or another, whether it's on a tree or cooked in your favorite Hawaiian dish. As you can see, coconuts are very important in Hawaii. Fresh coconuts are also used in several desserts and other dishes. Coconut milk is also used as an ingredient in many of the drinks served in Hawaii, including pina coladas. The coconut milk is delicious! In addition to drinking the milk straight from the coconut, many people also eat the raw coconut as a snack. There's something quite special about fresh coconuts in Hawaii. If you've ever had a fresh coconut straight from a coconut tree in Hawaii, you'll probably agree that it's one of the best things ever. Pacific Ocean coconuts were developed in Southeast Asia, whereas Indian Ocean coconuts were developed on Sri Lanka. Coconut plants were originally found in two places: on islands in the Pacific Ocean and on islands in the Indian Ocean. However, with that being said, coconuts didn't originate in Hawaii. Coconuts do in fact grow in "The Aloha State," as well as in many other tropical locations throughout the world. "Do coconuts grow in Hawaii?" That's a question that many people have asked themselves at one time or another.

Star fox 64 survival6/29/2023 The opening sequence is by far the coolest. The epic space battles have returned, and they look and play better then ever. Still, certain aspects of the original have made somewhat of a welcome comeback. Which, in reality, isn't much different from the original Star Fox. As it stands, however, you probably won't. If your teammates were actually useful, then maybe you'd give a damn. Losing teammates will cost you a special "Ally Medal" awarded at the end of every stage, but it won't affect the mission or make level progression any harder. True, you can always strap into your Arwing and solve the problem midair, but when you're in the middle of a heated battle, it's far too tempting to let your endangered teammates fend for themselves. Enemies will swoop behind mountains and other obstructions, so getting a clear shot feels tougher than it should. On ground missions, things get a little more complicated due to the terrain. You simply blast the attacking enemies as they cross your field of view. When cruising through the depth of space, helping your comrades feels relatively painless because they invariable fly in front of you when in trouble. You never really feel like your wing mates are doing much of anything, apart from begging you to help them. What's worse, this spills into every other area as well. Falco Lambardi, the supposed ace of the group, cries for help just as much as Slippy Toad, who supposedly sucks at flying. Unfortunately, the Star Fox Team winds up feeling relatively useless. Players will receive audible clues, in addition to the Might gauge, to help assess the level of danger above and below. Once the meter starts to fill up, you need to drop what you're doing and take to the skies to help your comrades. The Might Gauge, located on the upper right corner of the screen, tells you the strength of airborne enemy forces. You can jump into whichever vehicle you like depending on the situation. The game starts you off on foot, with the Arwing and Landmaster nearby. When you see icons for the Landmaster, Arwing and Pilot, you know you'll need to switch between the three during the mission. Here's how it works: at the beginning of each stage, the game presents a screen detailing what vehicles you'll use in the following mission. This option is only available in certain stages, but winds up being a welcome addition, if only because it presents something new. Unlike Star Fox 64, players can hop in and out of the LandMaster tank and Arwing at will. About the only thing new in Star Fox: Assault are the additions to the free-roam stages. Plus, they lack the overall polish and grace of the air/space battles. Plus, the ground missions and multiplayer modes, which debuted in Star Fox 64, don't offer anything new in terms of design. Not to say these sections aren't fun, far from it, in fact, only to say that it's about time Star Fox and crew stepped into the present. In an age where complete freedom of movement is the norm, players will still find themselves confined to rails. OverallAll, Star Fox: Assault equips the same brand of action as before, yet it carries over the same limitations as well. It's way too easy to get close to beating a mission only to fall to your death in an instant, forcing you to start over. This is due to the high incidence of accidental death, which can occur if you're not careful. While survival modes can be equally entertaining and challenging in some games, it's just plain annoying here. Survival mode has you plow through all of the stages in mission mode without saving your game. After completing Mission mode, which sadly takes less than six hours on the average difficulty setting, players will unlock Survival mode. Here, players will tear through the unfriendly skies (and space stations and planets) on objective-based skirmishes, where destroying targets is the name of the game. Players wanting a linear, story-based experience will need to head toward Mission mode. Star Fox: Assault splits between three modes, including: Mission, Survival and Versus. All the characters act as they've always acted, and don't really do anything other than say humous quips before, during and after missions. Rob, an analysis droid, updates you on your mission status during the game. This time around, Peppy Hare stays on the sidelines as an advisor while Krystal (from Star Fox Adventures) takes his place in the cockpit. The usual lot characters join the fight, including Fox McCloud, Slippy Toad, Falco Lombardi, Peppy Hare and General Pepper. The lack of originality begins in the story department, where the Cornerian government has once again called upon the Star Fox team to save the Lylat System from menacing aliens. Only this time, it departed without much improvement over its predecessors. And now, the latest chapter in the Star Fox saga has left dock and shot off into the cosmos.

Activeperl 5.106/28/2023 I wanted - sorry WANT - to install mod_perl (on my Windows XP pc), ppm install seemed to be telling me I needed a newer version of perl (can't remember exact text now it all seems so long ago). I don't believe I can possibly be the first person to try this, I'm only adding this here for other's benefit hitting a similar problem and finding this link. So i downgrade mySQL to 4.0.2 and it works!Īctive Perl 5.6 don't work on bugzilla use 5.8 and take the package at so i try to recompile new version of dbd try to set mysql password to old format and so on. dbi and dbd was installed fine but i was always getting a error message saying to update my client. I tried pass a complete journey try to make works MySQL 4.1.4 and ActivePerl 5.8 on windows. But after downloading I unpacked and made as the readme file says and everything went fine. Then using the repository command, add the full path to the temp directory, turn off the others, and run ppm> Install dbi. Next, if you are like me and developing on an intrAnet server from a workstation and the net is not connected to your server, then go to, locate DBI-1.37.ZIP, download it, extract the files to a temp directory. First, the command should be c:\perl\ppm.bat, that gets the package manager working. I discovered that the above instructions were in error. I too was missing DBI after installation of 5.8.0 in Windows. Instructions on building Perl 5.8 (and above) for Windows NT/2000/XP Use install in ppm with the folowing URL as the first arguement.Ī better choice to ActiveState Perl, is your own build of Perl 5.8 Using the Perl Package Manager, I was able to install DBD from the link that is given above and everything is working fine.Īnd if you missed it above. I used ppm2 to install, ppm3 failed all attempts. I was unable to connect with the ftp server, however i found the ppd here: Works perfectly for me with ActiveState Perl Version 5.8 However, Randy Kobes has kindly donated a PPM package However, every 5.8 version of DBD I could find did not work so I had to go back to Perl 5.6 and follow the instructions above to use DBD again.Īs of this writing, the above procedure won't work with ActivePerl 5.8.0, because so far a PPM for DBD::mysql is not available from the ActiveState server. I have read around the internet that Perl 5.6 and Perl 5.8 are binary incompatible so libraries must be recompiled. I never could resolve this problem in Perl 5.8. The older PPM file on CPAN, WILL NOT WORK. The new version of ActivePerl ActivePerl-5.8.0.804-MSWin32-x86 requires you to recompile the DBD::mysql driver manually. The current policy is to support Perl v5.16 until July 2024, and then to support releases than have been available for at least ten years.User Comments Posted by on Janu3:59am Note that this is separate from the Perl Toolchain (utilities for building and installing Perl modules) Support Policies, which will informally support older releases.

Finale notepad 2014 free6/28/2023 You're fairly free to decide how many lines a staff is made up of, and can work entirely with highly configurable tablature (user-defineable tunings for each tab string, for example), if fretted instruments are your thing. Of course, it's possible to start with a more or less blank page and add one staff at a time as you decide you need them. The next easiest setup option is the Setup Wizard, and as you might expect, Finale 2004 guides you through the process of naming your score, choosing its page size, choice of instruments from a huge collection, their order, initial tempo and time signature, pickup bar, font and so on. The templates are ready to go in all ways, including the correct handling and playback of transposing instruments. Once you've spent some time with Finale, you may find that you'll be saving your own template scores, for recall later. Choose one of the 30-plus template scores, including jazz band, full orchestra, concert band, piano and voice plus various educational score types. First of all, you need to decide what sort of document you'll be putting your notes into, and the software starts helping right away. Let's have a quick look at Finale 2004, alluding to the new features when they arise. It needs a little editing to remove redundant slurs. MakeMusic! simply add refinements and new tools rather than offering major changes with each new upgrade.Īmongst the many arrangement plug-ins is one that creates automatic piano reductions, such as this example derived from the score featured in this review's main screenshot. Finale will always benefit from the newest developments in computer technology, but not at the expense of maintaining a familiar and comprehensible notation environment. To be honest, not a lot seems to have changed, though without completely gutting the program and starting from scratch, not a lot has to. Now marketed by MakeMusic! (with exclamation mark), Finale was last reviewed in SOS in its 2003 livery back in January 2003. It's easy to think of Sibelius (version 3 of which was reviewed in July 2004's SOS) as a newcomer, and it's now nearly 10 years old! Perhaps Sibelius 's closest competition is the subject of this review, however: the latest version of software that was launched by Coda Music as a Macintosh-only package in the late '80s, Finale 2004. Leland C Smith's SCORE, for example, is still in development and started life in 1967. There have been a surprising number of scoring packages over the years, and what's even more surprising is that many of them have actually lasted for years. They'd rather see software development and processing power channelled to aiding their goal of getting the notes and allied graphic elements into a score in as fast and intuitive a way as possible, arranging the layout on the page, and outputting a readable or publishable result, whether direct to paper or to some form of exportable graphic file. But this aspect of MIDI sequencers isn't nearly fully enough developed for composers, arrangers, engravers and educators who simply don't need the audio processing and data manipulation typically offered by such programs. Notation programs often seem superficially similar to standard MIDI sequencers, and many sequencers offer note input via score editors and various layout and printout options. If this is true of MIDI sequencing software, it becomes even more so when we move into the relatively rarified atmosphere of scoring/notation software. Within any software milieu, there will be the main players, the enthusiastic wannabes and the also-rans. The latest incarnation of a well-established scoring package holds few surprises, but plenty of power for the asking price.

Ifire pager6/28/2023 Part of our role as health, safety, and fire resilience technicians, is helping schools with the basics and this includes a brief 'tour' of a fire door. These are ordinarily located on rooms of special fire risk like plant rooms, electrical intake rooms, science and technology laboratories, kitchens, combustion engine rooms, rooms used for the storage of chemicals and fuels, and stores for PE mats. There are, however, both single and double fire doors of a higher rating available, allowing a longer period of fire containment. You will probably find most school fire doors are FD30 rated which means they will resist the elements of fire and contain the flames for a minimum of 30 minutes. It will not fulfil this function if it is not fitted or maintained properly, propped open, or the 'hold open' devices are not working effectively.Īll fire doors are 'fire rated' and all this means is that some provide longer protection than others for holding back smoke, fire, and toxic fumes. This prevents the spread of fire, smoke and toxic fumes for a defined period, allowing adequate time for occupants to escape before becoming overwhelmed. However, since a breakout of fire is never predictable, the fire door, unlike any other door, must then perform its prime purpose – to protect lives and offer protection to the remainder of the building.Ī fire door ensures that should a fire break out, it can be contained in a 'compartment'. The simple purpose of a fire door in everyday use is just as any other door. In a school, as in all public spaces, good fire safety practice can literally be the difference between life and death. We walk past and through them every day without a second thought, but fire doors play a vital role in the defence against fire, smoke, and toxic fumes. Making sure that all fire doors are fitted and maintained properly is a key part of this. Schools have a responsibility under the Regulatory Reform Fire Safety Order (FSO) 2005 to ensure that everyone in the building is kept safe including pupils, teachers, and support staff. In this blog post, Julie will guide you through how to check and make sure your fire doors are up to the required safety standards. Julie, alongside her colleague Joanne Rafferty, conduct on-site fire risk assessments every day in schools as part of the RPA resilience measures. Your school may already be a member but if not, you can find more information about the RPA on GOV.UK. Julie Noble is a health, safety, and fire resilience technician for the Risk Protection Arrangement (RPA), the DfE’s alternative to commercial insurance for schools. |
