Hurricane Iselle was a Pacific tropical cyclone. The storm threatened the islands of Hawaii, especially Hilo. The storm developed on July 31, 2014. Iselle is the first hurricane to hit the islands in 22 years. 

Iselle approached Hawaii as a powerful category 4 hurricane. It had sustained winds of about 120 knots (138 mph). A number of conditions caused it to weaken just before it approached Hawaii. It struck the Big Island as a strong tropical storm. The storm center made landfall at about 2:30 am on August 8. It left downed trees and about 25,000 people without electric power. The storm surge caused 25-foot waves. Airlines had to cancel about 50 flights due to the storm.

Iselle then followed a northwestern track missing the rest of the Hawaiian islands. They received  rain and winds. A woman hiker on Kauai was swept away and drowned in the storm.

Word salad is language with meaningless, scrambled words. It is a "confused or unintelligible mixture of seemingly random words and phrases". 

'Word salad' is most often used for a symptom of a neurological or mental disorder. The words may or may not be grammatically correct. The key thing is that a listener cannot get any meaning from them. The term is often used in psychiatry and theoretical linguistics to describe language which native speakers judge is meaningless.

In mental health diagnoses 
Word salad occurs in neurological or psychological cases in which a person tries to communicate, and words and phrases come out  but make no sense.  Often, the person is unaware that they did not make sense. It appears in people with dementia and schizophrenia, and after anoxic brain injury.

It may be present as:
 Receptive aphasia: damage to brain centres dealing with language.
 Schizophasia: incoherent babbling, sometimes a symptom of schizophrenia.
 Logorrhea: a mental condition characterized by excessive talking.
 Graphorrhea: a written version of word salad, rarer than logorrhea in schizophrenics.

In computing 
Word salad can be generated by a computer program for various purposes.

Mojibake, also called Buchstabensalat ("letter salad") in German, is an effect similar to word salad, in which an assortment of seemingly-random text is generated.

Chandrayaan-1 was India's first spacecraft launched to explore the Moon. It lifted off on 22 October 2008. It was under the control of the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO). It was launched by a PSLV rocket. Chandrayaan 1 carried NASA's M1 Moon Mineralogy Mapper. The space mission was designed to last for two years. In reality the mission lasted for 312 days. It mapped about 95% of the moon's surface. On 29 August 2009 radio signals from Chandrayaan-I were lost. The mission was considered ended at that point. The lunar probe showed the presence of water on moon.

Goals 
The mission had the following stated objectives, or goals:
 to design, develop, launch and orbit a spacecraft around the Moon using an Indian-made rocket
 to conduct scientific experiments using instruments on the spacecraft:
 to make a three-dimensional map of both the near and far sides of the Moon
 for chemical and mineralogical mapping of the entire lunar surface at high spatial resolution, mapping particularly the chemical elements magnesium, aluminium, silicon, calcium, iron, titanium, radon, uranium, and thorium
 to increase scientific knowledge
 to test the impact of a sub-satellite (Moon Impact Probe – MIP) on the surface of the Moon to help prepare for future soft-landing missions
