But even before the fire, the institution began contributing to the greening of Lahaina — which now seems more urgent than before the disaster.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On this day in legal history, September 20, 1884, American suffragists formed the Equal Rights Party on the platform plank of recognizing women's right to vote. On this day in legal history, September 20th, we cast our gaze back to a significant milestone in the fight for gender equality in the United States. The Equal Rights Party, a political entity deeply rooted in the advocacy for equal rights and opportunities for all, irrespective of gender, convened for its national convention in the vibrant city of San Francisco, California. In a groundbreaking move during this convention, the party nominated Belva Ann Lockwood, a distinguished attorney based in Washington, D.C., as their presidential candidate. Lockwood was not only a prominent figure in the legal sphere but also a fervent activist for women's rights, making her nomination a historic event in the pursuit of gender equality in American politics.Belva Ann Lockwood, born on October 24, 1830, was a trailblazer in the fields of law and politics, notably being one of the first female lawyers in the U.S. and the first woman to practice law before the U.S. Supreme Court in 1879. Initially a teacher and school principal, she later ventured into law, facing numerous gender-related barriers including being denied her diploma initially upon completing her law studies. Despite the challenges, she successfully lobbied Congress to pass a bill in 1879 that allowed qualified women attorneys to practice in any federal court. Lockwood also made history by running for president in 1884 and 1888 under the National Equal Rights Party, becoming the first woman to officially appear on ballots. Apart from her legal and political pursuits, she was a fervent advocate for women's rights, equal pay, and world peace. Lockwood passed away on May 19, 1917, leaving behind a legacy that broke barriers and paved the way for women in law and politics.Adding to the historic gravity of the event on September 20th was the nomination of Marietta Stow for the vice-presidential position. Stow, who served as the chairman of the convention, became the first woman to preside over a national nominating convention, marking a significant stride in breaking the gender barriers prevalent in the political arena during that period. Her nomination, alongside Lockwood's, underscored the party's commitment to fostering a society where leadership positions were accessible to all, regardless of gender. This convention and the nominations that ensued were a bold statement in the 19th century, echoing the party's unwavering dedication to championing equal rights and setting a precedent for future generations to build upon.The attorneys who facilitated the settlement allowing AMC Entertainment Holdings Inc. to convert its APE preferred units into stocks will receive a fee of $5.7 million, a significant reduction from the initially proposed $20 million. This decision comes in the wake of a substantial decline in AMC's stock value post-conversion. The settlement had prevented AMC from going bankrupt during the pandemic, a victory largely attributed to the "meme stock" traders.Delaware judge, Morgan T. Zurn, who presided over the case, approved the reduced attorney fees, marking the end of a contentious legal battle between AMC's leadership and its investors. The stock value of AMC plummeted by about 85% since the settlement approval on August 11. Following this, AMC announced the sale of a significant number of shares, aiming to raise billions.The legal fee determination was a complex process, with Judge Zurn deciding to calculate it based on several factors including the completion of a 10-to-1 reverse stock split and the issuance of new class A shares. The fluctuating value of the additional shares distributed as part of the settlement also influenced the final fee amount. Initially, these shares were valued at nearly $130 million, but their worth decreased to around $48 million by the time of distribution.The case saw significant involvement from meme stock investors, who actively opposed the settlement, raising concerns over dilution and market manipulation theories circulating online. Rose Izzo, a retail investor who played a crucial role in delaying the stock conversion, was represented separately and her counsel was awarded around $213,000. Izzo's involvement, according to Judge Zurn, brought a necessary adversarial perspective to the proceedings, helping to scrutinize the fairness of the settlement amidst the collaborative stance of the primary parties involved.AMC's Post-APE Stock Crash Reduces Attorney Fees to $5.7 MillionAlex Jones, a prominent right-wing conspiracy theorist and host of Infowars, is facing scrutiny over his lavish spending habits amidst bankruptcy proceedings. Jones defended his expenditure of over $93,000 in July, stating that his role in an "unconventional industry" necessitates higher costs. This defense comes as Jones is being pursued for nearly $1.4 billion in damages awarded to families of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting victims, a tragedy Jones falsely claimed was a hoax.Jones argued that the highlighted expenses are not extraordinary but are being used by creditors to manipulate public opinion and potentially remove him from the air. Since filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in December, he has reportedly spent over $740,000 on non-bankruptcy protected assets. The creditors assert that Jones continues to lead an "opulent" lifestyle, maintaining assets that should have been liquidated post his bankruptcy filing.Jones maintains that his spending is necessary to fulfill his post-bankruptcy obligations and sustain his income as a celebrity talk show host. The families of the victims are considering requesting a court injunction to halt Jones' unnecessary expenditures or proposing the appointment of a trustee to manage his estate. Jones contends that these actions would infringe on his First Amendment rights, deeming them unconstitutional. The case is ongoing in the Southern District of Texas.Alex Jones Defends $100,000 a Month Lifestyle Amid Bankruptcy (1)In a potentially precedent-setting case, Harold Wells, whose daughter died in the recent Hawaii wildfires, has initiated a lawsuit against three significant landowners, including the governments of Hawaii and Maui County, as well as Kamehameha Schools, a prominent private landowner. Despite the fire not starting on their lands, Wells argues that these entities should be held accountable for allowing invasive grass species to proliferate on their properties, thereby intensifying the fire's spread. These grasses, identified by scientists as a major factor in the fire's escalation, created a substantial amount of fuel that exacerbated the blaze, which claimed 97 lives. The lawsuit posits that the maintenance of large quantities of dry vegetation in areas prone to fires should be considered an "inherently dangerous activity," akin to storing explosives. This case, if successful, might establish a legal framework for imposing liability on property owners amidst increasing fire risks due to climate change and expanding residential areas near wilderness zones. The defendants have either refrained from commenting or noted minimal involvement in the incident.Maui fire lawsuit blames landowners for wild grass growth | ReutersHunter Biden, the son of U.S. President Joe Biden, intends to plead not guilty to federal gun charges, as stated by his lawyer in a recent court filing. This development comes amidst an ongoing political storm, with House Republicans initiating an impeachment inquiry against President Biden, scrutinizing the alleged connections between Hunter's business activities and policies implemented during Biden's vice-presidential term (2009-2017). Hunter Biden, facing three criminal counts concerning gun possession, is the first child of a sitting U.S. president to be criminally indicted. These charges are expected to significantly influence the 2024 presidential campaign, potentially setting the stage for a rematch between Joe Biden and Donald Trump. Hunter, who has held various roles including lobbyist, lawyer, and investment banker, has been a continuous target of attacks from Trump and other Republican figures, accusing him of misconduct linked to Ukraine and China. This case follows a collapsed plea agreement between Hunter and prosecutors over previous tax and gun charges.Hunter Biden will plead not guilty to gun charges | ReutersThe U.S. law firm Arnold & Porter Kaye Scholer announced the inauguration of its new office in Boston, emphasizing its focus on life sciences and healthcare sectors, including transactions, litigation, and government investigations.

Jack Wong, CEO of Kamehameha Schools, shares his background, how he manages such a big responsibility and the trust's priorities. Wong served as a senior counsel for Kamehameha Schools in 1997. He became CEO in 2014 when former CEO Dee Jay Mailer stepped down. The charitable trust serves over 7,000 students at its K-12 campuses and preschools, manages 363,000 acres of land, and employs about 3,000 people. As a leader, he says most of his job is getting staff members excited about their work and helping them do their best. One of Kamehameha Schools' priorities is to shift to a mindset rooted in the importance of culture. Its E Ola! values of ‘ike kūpuna, aloha ‘āina, and mālama and kuleana are used as a framework to integrate a Native Hawaiian identity into its work. The aim is for students to learn and live those values. “You have to be able to see that through your culture, you will be academically successful – understanding who you are as a Native Hawaiian, understanding your ‘āina, understanding your ancestors, your culture, and being proud of who you are, your identity,” he says.

There’s no beating around the bush: as parents, we love our kids and want the best for them. But while we also don’t want to worry too much, it’s important to be aware of the potential dangers that exist for our keiki out there. This week on ‘Muthaship,’ two high school students who are part of the Youth Council of the Coalition for a Tobacco Free Hawaii join the show to talk about how vaping is becoming increasingly common in Hawaii schools. Nikkya Taliaferro of Moanalua High and Logan Lau from Kamehameha Schools say there is a common misconception among students that vaping is safer than smoking. They also hope parents will listen to the podcast and talk with their children about the possible long-term health risks associated with vaping so that they can quit vaping or not start at all.

Maveric Abella's journey is all about connections forged and nurtured through earnest inquiry and compassion.

In this episode, Anna and I are amazed at Maveric's accomplishments and ability to put aside time for fun.

I have learned, as a podcast host, that some episode interviews are question and response, and some conversations are more…intimate. My episode here with Ululani Shiraishi is decidedly the latter. Ululani gave me a gift during this interview, a phrase I will use in my life going forward: Working at the edge of your seat. She comes from a place of part frenzy crazy, and part deliberate intentional. And she is always, always working at the edge of her seat. This conversation touched on what it means to be 100% wife, 100% mother, 100% teacher all at the same time; the purpose of getting a graduate degree; the energy generated when one is forced to “pivot” (to use an overused Covid-19 term); the current revolution in education and the crazy cool things going on at Kamehameha Schools, Maui Campus; the special things that happen when we leave just a little room for margins in our lives, and much more. This will easily go down as one of my favorite interviews in either the 1st or 2nd season of this podcast series. There were times when I forgot I was recording the thing. Ululani is a treasure, a luminous and effervescent being on an epic personal and professional journey. More on Ululani Shiraishi: she is a Kamehameha Schools Maui, middle school language arts teacher who is deep into SEL, Hawaiian culture and trans-disciplinary teaching and learning. She is on the KSBE Maui Middle School Leadership Team and is a close partner with Kui Gapero, one of my early guests on this podcast in Season One. Ululani is a graduate of the Kamehameha Schools' Keala‘ula Innovations Institute, which is a creative learning program where Kamehameha Schools teachers focus on professional development. The program spotlights learning in terms of creativity, problem-solving and critical thinking, skills that are essential for students to succeed today and tomorrow. Ululani also taught in Hawaii's public schools as a National Board Certified Teacher. At Kamehameha Schools Maui, she is an ardent believer in simultaneously teaching the heart and intellect of kids through engaging inquiry-based learning experiences. She is currently working on a graduate degree in student learning and well-being. Hope, self-efficacy, curiosity, and good old fashioned hard work drive her teaching and life. My huge thanks to Evan Reppun Beachy, who directs the Kealaʻula Institute for recommending Ululani.

The world's eyes are on Mauna Kea and the battle over the Thirty Meter Telescope, but newspaper headlines and social media clicks only tell part of the story. To try and gain a deeper understanding, Josh sat down with dear friend of the show Kumu Hans Keoni Wilhelm, PhD, who teaches Hawaiian language, history, and culture at Kamehameha Schools. We were also joined by two of Kumu Hans' amazing former students, Tiana Kuni and Max Mukai, who shared their stories and perspectives with us. (Tiana recently returned from Pu'uhonua o Pu'uhuluhulu, and Max headed there shortly after our recording). We discuss the false narrative of "science vs. religion," what it truly means for something to be "sacred," how this inspiring movement is about so much more than "just a telescope," and why everyone who cares about the future of Hawaii -- Kanaka and non-Kanaka alike -- should take a stand. Please listen, share, and keep the conversation going! #KuKiaiMauna #AoleTMT (Recorded while emergency proclamation was still in effect, post-Dwayne The RockJohnson but pre- Damian Marley)

Miguel Jr. has taken the lessons of his father and grandmother and discovered his own personal freedom. Being able to apply his teachings to the world around him gave Miguel Jr. a new understanding of the lessons his father and grandmother had passed onto him, once again giving him the desire to pass on his beliefs. The ancient Toltecs believed that life as we perceive it is a dream. We each live in our own personal dream, and all of our dreams come together to make the Dream of the Planet. Problems arise when we forget that the dream is just a dream and fall victim to believing that we have no control over it. The Mastery of Self takes the Toltec philosophy of the Dream of the Planet and the personal dream and explains how a person can: Wake up, Liberate themselves from illusory beliefs and stories and Live with authenticity. http://www.miguelruizjr.comSenior Vice President of Worldwide Sales Operations at TiVo, a Fortune 500 Company, keynote speaker, leadership mentor and bestselling author Amy Van Atta Slater transforms challenges into opportunities.
