Rat lungworm disease in Hawaii: Newlyweds contract rare parasite. Arriving in Hana from San Francisco in January, newlyweds Ben Manilla, 64, and Eliza Lape, 57, expected nothing short of a blissful two weeks. Instead, they experienced a minor hell. "I've had several operations, two pneumonias, a blood clot; right now, I'm dealing with a kidney issue," Manilla, an audio producer and lecturer at the University of California at Berkeley, told CNN affiliate KHNL. Each of these serious maladies was spurred by rat lungworm disease, contracted during his stay in Hana. Rat lungworm, a parasitic disease caused by Angiostrongylus cantonensis, affects the brain and the spinal cord, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Most cases result from consuming, either accidentally or on purpose, raw or undercooked snails and slugs that are infected with the parasite.
The newlyweds say they are unsure how they encountered the disease while in Hawaii. Lape's symptoms began before leaving the Aloha State and worsened once she returned to San Francisco.

Common Hawaiian Words | Hawaiian Words. Hawaiian language, alphabet and pronunciation. Hawaiian is an Austronesian language spoken by about 8,000 people on the Hawaiian islands. Hawaiian first appeared in writing in the early 19th century in a version of the Latin alphabet developed by missionaries, who started to visit the Hawaiian islands from 1820 onwards. Literacy among the Hawaiian people was widespread during the 19th century when Hawai'i was an independent kingdom. Dozens of Hawaiian language newspapers were published, together with Hawaiian translations of religious works and novels and Hawaiian transcriptions of traditional stories.
After Hawaii was annexed by the USA in 1899, the Hawaiian language was banned from schools and went into rapid decline. By the 1980s, there was only about 2,000 Hawaiian speakers, most of whom were elderly. In 1978 Hawaiian was made an official language of Hawaii, along with English, and since then there has been a revival of interest in the language.

E Ho‘omau! Hawaii’s Hurricane History. In August of 1994, Hurricane John became the most powerful hurricane in Central Pacific history as it passed south of the Hawaiian Islands (the Big Island is visible at top center). At peak intensity, the category 5 storm had surface winds of 175mph and gusts in excess of 200mph (CPHC, 1994). Meteorologists once believed that the Hawaiian Islands were largely protected from hurricanes due to their unique position in the Central Pacific Ocean.
Despite residing entirely within the tropics, the island chain is well north of the Intertropical Convergence Zone and within close proximity to an area of cool water which inhibits tropical cyclone development. A semi-permanent high pressure ridge north of the state also helps protect the islands from storms that deviate from the hurricane belt to the south.
Additionally, massive shield volcanoes in excess of 13,000ft on the Big Island appear to act as natural buffers against hurricanes traveling from the Eastern Pacific.

Example:[Collected on the Internet, 2001] Hawaiian legend: anyone that removes a piece of rock from the Hawaiian Volcanoes National Park will incur the wrath of the Godess Pele. Supposedly terrible curses follow those that do prompting them to soon abandon the rock(s) in interest of self-preservation. Origins: Can a souvenir casually pocketed on a Hawaiian beach bring misfortune? Though the more skeptical will scoffingly dismiss the notion as pure hooey, thousands have come to believe that yes, volcanic rocks taken from Hawaii fetch with them a curse of impressive proportions.
Legend has it that Pele, goddess of fire and volcanoes, is so angered when the rocks (which she sees as her children) are taken from her that she exacts a terrible revenge on the thief. Pele, apparently. Please take this sand and put it back somewhere on your island. Please return to soil. Hanalei Colony Resort (Hanalei, United States of America) | Expedia.
