Island Lifestyle 15 Secrets to Selling Your Home Faster Great photos, fresh curb appeal and the right asking price are just some of the ways you can close a deal quickly. Courtesy of Real Estate News

A Life by Design Since the 1970s Nakeu Awai has defined two generations of Island fashion.

On a Saturday morning in December, Nakeu Awai sits in a strategic front corner of his shop/studio/archive space in a nondescript strip mall in Kapalama, just down the hill from his alma mater, Kamehameha Schools. At 86, Awai is often hailed as the elder statesman of Hawaiian fashion. Nowadays there's renewed interest in his work—fashion is cyclical, after all—but ask him how he feels about that and he dryly responds, "I don't swim in it." His goals lie elsewhere: "If I can help in any way to perpetuate Hawaiian fashions, call on me." Courtesy of Hana Hou Magazine

How AI Could Unlock A Ton Of This Promising Renewable Energy. The recent boom in generative AI models relies on intense computational resources, built on power-hungry chips in server farms around the world. That demand could double by 2026, compounding the increasing need for electricity that’s already taxing the grid. Courtesy of Forbes But while AI requires an immense amount of electricity, one startup thinks it could also be part of the solution in unlocking a largely unused form of renewable energy: geothermal power, which uses naturally generated heat below the surface to provide both electricity and heating.
