Hurricane Lane is currently a very powerful tropical cyclone approaching the Hawaiian Islands, the strongest hurricane in the central Pacific since Ioke in 2006, and the first Category 5 Pacific hurricane since Patricia in 2015. The twelfth named storm, sixth hurricane, and fourth major hurricane of the 2018 Pacific hurricane season, Lane originated from a tropical wave that began producing disorganized thunderstorm activity several hundred miles off the southern coast of Mexico on August 11. Over the next four days, the disturbance gradually strengthened amid favorable weather conditions and formed a tropical depression early on August 15. Twelve hours later, the depression intensified into Tropical Storm Lane. Gradual strengthening occurred for the next day and a half which resulted in Lane reaching hurricane status by August 17. Lane then began a period of rapid intensification, becoming a high-end Category 2 hurricane on the same day. Lane continued to rapidly intensify, reaching Category 4 status twelve hours later. Lane reached its initial peak with winds of 140 mph (220 km/h) and a pressure of 948 mbar (27.99 inHg) on August 18. On August 19, Lane crossed into the Central Pacific basin, where it encountered increasing wind shear, subsequently weakening the storm. However, on August 20, Lane re-intensified into a Category 4 hurricane, and reached Category 5 intensity early on August 22.

Hilo, Hawaii - Coconut Island (2018)
Coconut Island, or Mokuola is a small island in Hilo Bay, just offshore from Lili'uokalani Park and Gardens, in Hilo, off the island of Hawaii. It is a small park, and is connected to the main island via a footbridge. The island includes a large grassy field, picnic areas, restroom facilities, and a few tiny sandy beaches. A popular recreational activity is to jump off the tower into the waters of Hilo Bay.
The name Mokuola translates as healing island or island of life from the Hawaiian language. Moku meaning island and ola meaning life. It was the site of an ancient temple dedicated to healing. It is located off Banyan Drive.
Legend tells that anyone who was sick or feeling ill would be healed by swimming around Mokuola three times. In ancient times, Mokuola was a pu'uhonua (place of refuge), where natives or warriors could redeem themselves. Many native Hawaiians would also bury their children's piko (umbilical cords) under the flat rocks here, so the rats would not find them (piko are often considered sacred to Hawaiians, as they are the connection to their mothers and to their blood lines).

The State's theft of Maunakea Access Road discussed
9/3/19
Q&A Mauna Kea Access Road with a fourth generation Hawaiian Homes Lessee and Attorney, Halealoha Ayau.
1:38 - Halealoha Introduction
4:00 - When you learn the truth, itʻs going to knock anyone over... Thereʻs a history of theft of Hawaiian Home Lands
4:40 - Hawaiian Homes Commission Act passage and original implementation explained
7:40 - 1959 Admissions Act: A contract between the United States and the Territory of Hawai‘i to be admitted as a state. One of the conditions of Statehood is the faithful management of the Hawaiian Homes program.
9:24 - If you appropriate the property of another, without their authorization, that is theft. In 1968, the University of Hawai‘i builds the Mauna Kea Access Road without authorization from the land owner, the Hawaiian Homes Commission.
10:45 - 1980 Federal State Task Force investigation and report looks into the State's mismanagement of Hawaiian Home Lands. Report recommends the State
12:30 - In the 1990s, the State passes Act 14, intended to be a global settlement for past wrongs committed. State only pays 600 million on lands valued at one billion.
14:15 - It would be cheaper to steal the land (via Act 14) than to utilize the Government's Power of Condemnation which would have required them to pay fair market value.
15:20 - With respect to roads and highways, the State negotiates with the Hawaiian Homes Commission, but never follows through.
18:03 - Question: Can somebody steal something from you, you catch them, you figure out how much they owe you for what they stole, you agree on it, and then they donʻt pay it, even 24 years later? Is that following the rule of law?
19:38 - HHC can take action against State for non-compliance. The HHC and the State never have a meeting of the minds, which means there is no agreement, no contract, no transfer of DHHL lands (relating to roads and highways, including the Maunakea Access Road)
22:54 - Officially, the Head of DHHL is saying that the land under Maunakea Access Road is still nder the ownership of the DHHL. The Federal requirements for land transfer were never met by the State, which includes consultation with the Hawaiian Home Lands beneficiaries, that never took place.
26:06 - Is it appropriate for the State of Hawai‘i to arrest kūpuna on the stolen road, some of whom are beneficiaries, instead of going after them(selves) (the State) for paying for the road they stole.
26:52 - Whatʻs the duty of the Hawaiian Homes Commission? First duty is to consult the beneficaries.
28:38 - The Department of Interior would need to approve any land transfers (this hasnʻt happened)
30:00 - Why should you care about whatʻs happening? Remember the condition of Statehood regarding the faithful management of Hawaiian Home Lands? Would the lack of meeting this condition invalidate Statehood?
30:45 - Is there a conflict of interest in the power of the governor to appoint the DHHL commissioner? Is there a conflict of interest inherent in the Attorney General being legal counsel for both the State and the DHHL in matters where there is conflict?
33:20 - An interpretation of Kapu Aloha from Halealoha
40:15 - Given the immense problem around Maunakea Access Road, what (next steps) would you suggest for the Hawaiian Homes Commissioners and the beneficiaries?
41:00 - Last thoughts
PC: Kāko‘o Haleakala

Ziplining Papaikou Hilo, Hawaii filmed by Deloris
We saved and paid for our vacation before it began. The plan was to fly straight from Atlanta to Hawaii, spend the night, then get on a cruise ship for 7 days to see 4 of the islands. Deloris planned excursions at every stop including rainforest hikes with waterfall swimming, zip lining, watching a sunrise from atop a 10,000 foot crater and biking down it, a luau, surfing lessons, and a helicopter tour of one of the islands. Epic doesn't describe it all. What a great way for us to celebrate 10 years of marriage. Awesome!
Big Island Hawaii. Part 2. Kohala Orientation.
December 2009.
Music by: Lyman.
The area was named after the dominating geological feature Kohala Mountain, the oldest of Hawaiʻi Island's five major volcanic mountains. The current districts cover the north and western sides of the mountain, 20°7′55″N 155°47′38″W. It was one of the five ancient divisions of the island called moku.
The natural habitats in Kohala range across a wide rainfall gradient in a very short distance - from less than 5 inches (130 mm) a year on the coast near Kawaihae to more than 150 inches (3,800 mm) year near the summit of Kohala Mountain, a distance of just 11 miles (18 km). Near the coast are remnants of dry forests, and near the summit is a cloud forest, a type of rainforest that obtains some of its moisture from cloud drip in addition to precipitation. This precipitation allowed the northeast coast to be developed into sugarcane plantations.
King Kamehameha I, the first King of the unified Hawaiʻian Islands, was born in North Kohala west of Hāwī, at an ancient site called the Moʻokini Heiau, preserved within Kohala Historical Sites State Monument. The original Kamehameha Statue stands in front of the community center in Kapaʻau, and duplicates are found at Aliʻiolani Hale in Honolulu, and in the US Capitol in Washington, D.C.
Other parks include Hapuna Beach State Recreation Area, Samuel Spencer Beach, Puʻukoholā Heiau National Historic Site, Lapakahi State Historical Park. and kēōkea Beach County Park. The end of Akoni Pule Highway (Hawaii state route 270) provides access to Pololū Valley. The Hawaii Belt Road connects in the southern end of the Akoni Pule Highway to Kona in the south and Hāmākua to the east.
Kohala has two small airports. Upolu Airport is on Upolu Point at the northern tip of the island. Waimea-Kohala Airport is south of the town of Waimea, Hawaii County, Hawaii.
Waimea is a census-designated place (CDP) in Hawaiʻi County, Hawaiʻi, United States. The population was 7,028 at the 2000 census. Since each U.S. state cannot have more than one post office of the same name and there are many 'Waimeas' on the islands of Hawaiʻi, the official USPS name for Waimea is Kamuela.
Waimea is the largest town in the interior of the Big Island, and is the center for ranching activities and paniolo culture. The Parker Ranch in and around Waimea is the largest privately-owned cattle ranch in the US, and the annual Fourth of July rodeo is a major event.
Waimea is also home to the headquarters of two astronomical observatories located on Mauna Kea, the W. M. Keck Observatory and the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope. (wikipedia)
Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park, Hawaii County, Hawaii, United States, North America
Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, established in 1916, is a United States National Park located in the U.S. State of Hawaiʻi on the island of Hawaiʻi. It encompasses two active volcanoes: Kīlauea, one of the world's most active volcanoes, and Mauna Loa, the world's most massive volcano. The park gives scientists insight into the birth of the Hawaiian Islands and ongoing studies into the processes of vulcanism. For visitors, the park offers dramatic volcanic landscapes as well as glimpses of rare flora and fauna. In recognition of its outstanding natural values, Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park was designated as an International Biosphere Reserve in 1980 and a World Heritage Site in 1987. In 2000 the name was changed by the Hawaiian National Park Language Correction Act of 2000 observing the Hawaiian spelling. In 2012 the Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park was honored on the 14th quarter of the America the Beautiful Quarters collection. The park includes 323,431 acres (505.36 sq mi; 1,308.88 km2) of land. Over half of the park is designated the Hawaii Volcanoes Wilderness area and provides unusual hiking and camping opportunities. The park encompasses diverse environments that range from sea level to the summit of the Earth's most massive volcano, Mauna Loa at 13,677 feet (4,169 m). Climates range from lush tropical rain forests, to the arid and barren Kaʻū Desert. Active eruptive sites include the main caldera of Kīlauea and a more active but remote vent called Puʻu ʻŌʻō. The main entrance to the park is from the Hawaii Belt Road. The Chain of Craters Road, as the name implies, leads past several craters from historic eruptions to the coast. It used to continue to another entrance to the park near the town of Kalapana, but that portion is now covered by a lava flow. Kīlauea and its Halemaʻumaʻu caldera were traditionally considered the sacred home of the volcano goddess Pele, and Hawaiians visited the crater to offer gifts to the goddess. In 1790, a party of warriors (along with women and children who were in the area) were caught in an unusually violent eruption. Many were killed and others left footprints in the lava that can still be seen today. The first western visitors to the site, English missionary William Ellis and American Asa Thurston, went to Kīlauea in 1823. Ellis wrote of his reaction to the first sight of the erupting volcano: a spectacle, sublime and even appalling, presented itself before us. 'We stopped and trembled.' Astonishment and awe for some moments rendered us mute, and, like statues, we stood fixed to the spot, with our eyes riveted on the abyss below. The volcano became a tourist attraction in the 1840s, and local businessmen such as Benjamin Pitman and George Lycurgus ran a series of hotels at the rim. Volcano House is the only hotel or restaurant located within the borders of the National Park. In January 2010 it was closed temporarily for renovation; as of January 2011 it had not yet re-opened. Lorrin A. Thurston, grandson of the American missionary Asa Thurston, was one of the driving forces behind the establishment of the park after investing in the hotel from 1891 to 1904. William R. Castle first proposed the idea in 1903. Thurston, who then owned the Honolulu Advertiser newspaper, printed editorials in favor of the park idea. In 1907, the territory of Hawaii paid for fifty members of Congress and their wives to visit Haleakala and Kīlauea. It included a dinner cooked over lava steam vents. In 1908 Thurston entertained Secretary of the Interior James Rudolph Garfield, and in 1909 another congressional delegation. Governor Walter F. Frear proposed a draft bill in 1911 to create Kilauea National Park for $50,000. Thurston and local landowner William Herbert Shipman proposed boundaries, but ran into some opposition from ranchers. Thurston printed endorsements from John Muir, Henry Cabot Lodge, and former President Theodore Roosevelt. After several attempts, the legislation introduced by delegate Jonah Kūhiō Kalaniana'ole finally passed to create the park. House Resolution 9525 was signed by Woodrow Wilson on August 1, 1916. It was the 11th National Park in the United States, and the first in a Territory. Within a few weeks, the National Park Service Organic Act would create the National Park Service to run the system. Originally called Hawaii National Park, it was split from the Haleakalā National Park on September 22, 1960. An easily accessible lava tube was named for the Thurston family. An undeveloped stretch of the Thurston Lava Tube extends an additional 1,100 ft (340 m) beyond the developed area and dead-ends into the hillside. Though it is blocked by a chain link fence to keep unwary visitors from entering, the easily traversed stretch is in fact open to the public and accessible through a gate in the fence.

This is one of my favorite spots to be on earth, to camp under a canopy of fragrant eucalyptus trees, in the embrace of Madame Pele, with nothing but ocean between you and Antarctica, nothing but stars between you and infinity. Nestled snugly between the Hawai'i Belt Road and Mauna Loa, perched on the summit of Kilauea Volcano, this small campground occupies one of the most spectacular, if precarious, positions of any campground, anywhere.
There are trails everywhere here, and I urge you to explore them. Crossing Highway 11, a trail of unsurpassed views of Mauna Loa wanders over the summit of Kilauea in less than a mile to the Jagger Museum. Heading north from behind the restroom, another trail crosses the divide between Mauna Loa and Kilauea to fields and kipukas and the best sunrise view of Mauna Loa, anywhere.
At 4200 feet elevation, days as well as nights can be quite cold and many days in a row of rain and fog are not uncommon. Be sure your clothing and camping gear are up to keeping you comfortable. On clear nights the sky seems pocked with stars here and one can frequently see the glow from the volcano's fire reflected in the sky. Rarely is the campground troubled by vog.
Namakani Paio Campground is located immediately west of the Main Entrance to Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, halfway between the 31 and 32 mile markers. Clean, efficient cabins are available for rent from the National Park Service at Namakani Paio Campground and tent sites are free, available first-come, first served.
Hōlei Sea Arch - Natural Arch (Volcanoes National Park, Big Island, Hawaii)
We drove all the way down Volcanoes National Park to see the Hōlei Sea Arch. I must admit, I think the journey to the Hōlei Sea Arch was better than the Hōlei Sea Arch itself lol. We saw Nene (Hawaiian state bird) and many unique old lava flows. Amazing journey!! When you get to Hōlei Sea Arch, you have to turn back because the road is closed due to lava flow. You can optionally park and walk, but you cannot drive any further. To see lava, you need to drive around and visit from Pahoa.

Kilauea Iki Trail - Top 10 Bucket List Hikes (Volcanoes National Park, Big Island, Hawaii)
This was one the best hikes in Volcanoes National Park! It seems to be the one that everybody does. You get great views from the rim, then inside the crater, it's like nothing else! You feel like you'll be swallowed by the volcano at any point! lol... It's definately a bucket list hike!
Kīlauea Iki Trail
Kilauea Iki Trail and Crater Rim Trail is a heavily trafficked loop trail located near Pahala, Hawaii, Hawaii that features beautiful wild flowers and is rated as moderate. The trail is primarily used for hiking, walking, and nature trips and is accessible year-round.
Great day hike down into and across a solid lava lake in Hawaii Volcanoes National Park.
Klauea Iki Trail starts in the rain forest on the crater's rim. The trail descends 400 feet through the rain forest to the crater floor. Hikers will cross the still-steaming crater floor, past the gaping throat of the vent that built Pu'u Pua'i cinder cone, and return to your starting point via the crater's rim.

BioBlitz 2015 at Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park
This May, we (and maybe you too?) will take an inventory of all of the plant and animal species we can find in Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park during a 24-hour period. Hundreds of Hawai'i Island 4th through 8th graders will start us off on May 15th, 2015 for the National Geographic and National Park Service BioBlitz and Biodiversity & Cultural Festival. About 150 scientists and cultural experts will lead teams of hundreds more adult and youth volunteers to catalog all of the species we encounter on May 15th & 16th. Come and make history with us! This is a great chance for the whole family to experience and contribute to science in a national park and World Heritage Site!

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
The Mauna Kea Observatories (MKO) are a number of independent astronomical research facilities and large telescope observatories that are located at the summit of Mauna Kea on the Big Island of Hawaiʻi, United States. The facilities are located in a 525-acre (212 ha) special land use zone known as the Astronomy Precinct, which is located within the 11,228-acre (4,544 ha) Mauna Kea Science Reserve. The Astronomy Precinct was established in 1967 and is located on land protected by the Historical Preservation Act for its significance to Hawaiian culture.
The location is near ideal because of its dark skies from lack of light pollution, good astronomical seeing, low humidity, high elevation of 4,205 meters (13,796 ft), position above most of the water vapor in the atmosphere, clean air, good weather and low latitude location.

13. SOUNDBITE: (English) Charles Morrison, President of the East-West Center (education and research organisation promoting better relations between the US and Asia-Pacific region):
Still the majority of our visitor industry is from American mainland tourists travelling here. So a downturn in the economy has a big impact. Asia also could have a big impact right now, many of the patterns appear to be going up, and the appreciation of the currencies have of course made Hawaii a cheaper trip for many Asians.

The most growth has been the Chinese market. Again we've seen about over a thirty percent increase in our Chinese market. We have seen a large increase just this year about what we had planned for the Chinese market. So again, we see the most growth in our Chinese market. The Japanese market, as we all know, has been impacted due to the tragedies associated with the tsunami. The Japanese market is on a comeback, they are rebounding.

STORYLINE
As the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) leaders summit got under way in the holiday spot of Honolulu, Hawaii, on Wednesday, there were signs that problems in the local tourist industry mirrored economic concerns across the Asia Pacific region.
Tourists still flock to the beautiful US territory of Hawaii for its pristine beaches and underwater attractions, such as the Atlantis submarine, which takes tourists beneath the ocean from Hawaii's iconic Waikiki beach.
Chinese tourist Li Lin Yue, a 27-year-old graduate student, was one visitor who was enchanted with Hawaii's beauty.
But the economic downturn over the past few years has seen a dramatic fall in the largest group of tourists, mainland Americans, who find the pricey trip halfway across the Pacific increasingly hard to afford.
