Alex Rozier is an American journalist, who works as a reporter for NBC 4 in Los Angeles.

Early life and education
When Rozier was four years old, he avidly watched nightly newscasts in his home state of Minnesota. For his birthday that year, he asked to meet his idol: KMSP-TV news anchor Robyne Robinson, who agreed to meet him after his parents drove almost five hours to get to the news station. Rozier attended Virginia High School in Virginia, Minnesota, where he was involved with student council, National Honor Society, Key Club, the student newspaper, and choir. In his senior year of high school, he was selected as a delegate to represent Minnesota at the American Legion Boys Nation event, where he got to see President George W. Bush.

In 2007, while a freshman at the Missouri School of Journalism, he joined KOMU-TV in Columbia, Missouri, as a reporter; he later became an anchor as well. In 2010, Rozier was one of five winners of the Pulitzer Center YouTube Project: Report international competition with his reporting project Guatemala: The Culture that Crawls. He graduated from the Missouri School of Journalism in 2011 with a bachelor's degree in radio-television journalism, where he was the master of ceremonies.

Career
After college, Rozier joined KHQ-TV in Spokane, Washington, in May 2011 as a weekday reporter and weekend anchor. His feature report, called The Eyes of a Hero, aired on Veterans Day in 2012 and focused on a local artist who drew portraits of fallen soldiers for their families. In 2013, Rozier won a National Edward R. Murrow Award for his reporting on the story, earning KHQ their first ever national award in company history. The story also earned an Emmy Award nomination for "Feature News Report - Serious Feature" at the Northwest Emmy Awards in 2013. On September 15, 2013, KHQ aired his feature report on two brothers who climbed Sloan Peak 40 years after their father vanished from the same mountain, called The Climb for Closure. In 2014, the story was nominated for two Emmy Awards at the 2014 Northwest Emmy Awards and won a national award from the Society of Professional Journalists.

title: Caswell Silver

text:
Caswell Silver (June 25, 1916 – October 18, 1988) was an American geologist and entrepreneur who was President of Sundance Oil Company from 1960 to 1984. In addition to the business of oil and gas exploration, he was active in the American Association of Petroleum Geologists and published original research on petroleum geology. He endowed the Caswell Silver Foundation at the University of New Mexico.

Early life and education
Silver was born in New York City and grew up in Waterbury, Connecticut as the next to youngest of four brothers and a sister. After first enrolling at the University of Connecticut in 1934, for reasons of health he headed west and ultimately enrolled at the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque, where he earned his bachelor's degree in 1940 with a major in geology and mathematics.

He went to work for the US Geological Service, mapping silver mining districts in the San Juan Mountains of Colorado. He subsequently served as an assistant topographic and hydrographic engineer with the U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey in Cape Fear, North Carolina.

Military service in World War II
Silver joined the U.S. Navy in 1942 and served three years in the Photo Interpretation Branch of the Naval Intelligence in the South Pacific in Guadalcanal and Hawaii, attaining the rank of Lieutenant.

1945–1988
After the War, Silver returned to the University of New Mexico, where he completed a master's degree in geology. "Silver always said that he chose a master's degree program in geology rather than in physics, which he also loved, because he liked to gamble".

Making his home in Albuquerque, Silver worked as a consultant in gas exploration and development, and eventually became an independent operator while also being a consultant on oil and gas exploration and precious metals mining.

Silver also conducted research, joined the American Association of Petroleum Geologists (AAPG), and became a fellow of the Geological Society of America. He published several scientific papers, and in 1952 co-authored a book with Vincent C. Kelley on “The Geology of the Caballo Mountains”. He helped to found the New Mexico Geological Society in 1947 and served as its president in 1957-8.

In 1959 Silver moved with his family to Denver, Colorado, where he had purchased a controlling interest in Sundance Oil Company, a Utah company. At the time, Sundance was earning small royalties and had no full-time employees. Over the next 24 years, serving as President of the company, Silver built Sundance into an independent oil and gas exploration company, discovering and developing fields in Colorado, Nebraska and, in 1971, Alberta, Canada. Over the years, the company's stock exchange listing moved from the Salt Lake Stock and Mining Exchange, to the Pacific Coast Stock Exchange, to the American Stock Exchange.

Silver continued to publish research and remained active in the AAPG and other professional associations. In 1980 he was a founding trustee of the Geological Society of America Foundation.

In June 1984, Silver resigned as President, Chief Executive Officer, and Chairman of the Board of Sundance. He sold all of his family's interests in the company.

Caswell Silver Foundation
In 1980 Caswell and his wife Elizabeth established the Caswell Silver Foundation as a 501c3 endowment at the University of New Mexico. This Foundation is administered by the Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences, and supports visiting professorships, graduate fellowships, undergraduate research, and lectures by distinguished scholars.

The 1948 United States presidential election in Virginia took place on November 2, 1948, throughout the 48 contiguous states. Voters chose 11 representatives, or electors to the Electoral College, who voted for president and vice president.

For the previous four decades Virginia had almost completely disenfranchised its black and poor white populations through the use of a cumulative poll tax and literacy tests. So restricted was suffrage in this period that it has been calculated that a third of Virginia’s electorate during the first half of the twentieth century comprised state employees and officeholders.

This limited electorate allowed Virginian politics to be controlled for four decades by the Byrd Organization, as progressive “antiorganization” factions were rendered impotent by the inability of almost all their potential electorate to vote. Historical fusion with the “Readjuster” Democrats, defection of substantial proportions of the Northeast-aligned white electorate of the Shenandoah Valley and Southwest Virginia over free silver, and an early move towards a “lily white” Jim Crow party meant Republicans retained a small but permanent number of legislative seats and local offices in the western part of the state. In 1928 a combination of growing middle-class Republicanism in the cities and anti-Catholicism against Al Smith in the Tidewater allowed the GOP to carry Virginia and elect three Congressmen, including one representing the local district of emerging machine leader Byrd. However, from 1932 with the state severely affected by the Depression, Republican strength declined below its low pre-1928 level, although Byrd himself became highly critical of Franklin D. Roosevelt’s New Deal policies as early as 1940.

Virginia’s delegates at the 1948 Democratic National Convention were all opposed to incumbent President Harry S. Truman after his proposal for black civil rights titled To Secure These Rights. Nevertheless, the presence of viable Republican opposition in the southwest and Shenandoah Valley meant that Byrd refused to endorse either South Carolina Governor Strom Thurmond, who received the nomination of the States’ Rights Democratic Party, or Republican nominee New York Governor Thomas E. Dewey, largely because of fear of losing several seats in the House to resurgent Republicans.

Campaign
Despite the failure of local federal officeholders to endorse him, Thurmond campaigned extensively in Virginia during October, arguing that Truman, Dewey and Progressive candidate Henry A. Wallace all had platforms that would destroy the existing “American way of life”. The Item argued that Byrd did support Thurmond and that his tour was helping the South Carolina Governor, although other polls did not imply this. Neither Dewey nor Truman campaigned in Virginia, and despite the fact that all federal representatives supported the incumbent President, local party officials of the Byrd Organization did little to work for Truman and running mate Alben W. Barkley.

Despite all polls expecting Dewey to carry the state, Truman would win quite comfortably, although the Democratic margin fell by more than seventeen points vis-à-vis the 1944 election.

11% of white voters supported Thurmond.

Polls

Results

Results by county or independent city

Analysis
Ultimately, Virginia was won by Truman with 47.89 percent of the vote to Dewey’s 41.04 percent and Thurmond’s 10.35 percent. This contradicted polls that expected Dewey to carry the state with around 47 percent of the vote to Truman’s 45 percent and 7 to 8 percent for Thurmond. This election nonetheless accelerated the major losses Franklin D. Roosevelt experienced in the Washington D.C. suburbs and the Shenandoah Valley at the previous election — losses which would pave the way for Virginia voting Republican in thirteen of the next fourteen presidential elections.

, this is the last election in which the Fifth Congressional District has supported a Democratic presidential candidate. It is also the last election when Hanover County, King William County, Lancaster County, Middlesex County and Orange County have supported a Democratic Presidential nominee. Chesterfield County and Lynchburg City would not vote Democratic again at a presidential level until 2020, Henrico County not until 2008, Albemarle County and Danville City not until 2004, Prince Edward County not until 1996 and Amelia County not until 1976.

This remains the last occasion Virginia voted to the left of Delaware, and was also the last time until 2012 that Virginia voted for a different candidate than Indiana.

title: Lilapsophobia

text:
Lilapsophobia is an abnormal fear of tornadoes or hurricanes. Lilapsophobia is considered the more severe type of astraphobia, which is a fear of thunder and lightning.

Signs and symptoms
Mental and emotional symptoms of lilapsophobia include
 Obsessive thoughts
 Difficulty thinking
 Feeling of unreality or being detached
 Fear of losing control or going crazy
 Anticipatory anxiety
 Terror
 Desire to flee or hide

Physical symptoms of lilapsophobia include
 Dizziness, shaking, palpitations, lightheaded, or faint
 Shortness of breath
 Accelerated heartbeat
 Chest pain or discomfort
 Shaking
 Feeling of choking
 Sweating
 Nausea
 Numbness or tingling sensations

Many lilapsophobes also suffer autophobia, fear of being alone. Sufferers often make arrangements with people they know to help soothe the fear.

Causes
Like many phobias, lilapsophobia is caused by an unwanted experience, specifically tornadoes or hurricanes that cause injuries, destruction, or loss of loved ones to self or others they know. People who survive those storms are advised to seek professional advice, especially to determine if a person is suffering post-traumatic stress disorder. This phobia can even be caused by learning news about tornadoes or hurricanes using the media, like television, internet, radio, or newspaper, even though they happened far away from homes.

If a person learns that someone in the family has the phobia, then that person is more likely to suffer from it.

Effects
Lilapsophobes spend a lot of time watching the weather or checking weather online to keep an eye out for oncoming storms. When a storm hits, sufferers either watch for severe weather alerts constantly or take cover, like under the bed or in the windowless room. In the extreme cases, sufferers take tornado shelter as soon as rain starts falling, usually in the basement or storm shelter. Sufferers who have weather radio or mobile phones can watch the radar and alerts using it while hiding.

Treatment
Like many other phobias, lilapsophobia can often be treated using cognitive-behavioral therapy, but if it stems from post-traumatic stress disorder, then alternative therapy may be more recommended.

Etymology
The Greek basis word is λαῖλα|ψ -απος laíla|ps -apos for which reason the term should strictly have been *lailapophobia – like myrmecophobia from mýrmē|x -ēkos. Greek words ending in ψ (ps) and ξ (ks) would regularly become -pos / -kos (respectively) in oblique cases, conventionally given as the genitive form. This rule also obtains for Latin, cf. pax, pac|is, and it is from the accusative form pacem that all Romance languages have taken their words for “peace”. Historically this rule has been “forgotten” – one result is the fallacious neologism “lilapsophobia”.

How the i came into the picture instead of ai remains to be settled. Hypothesis: Since the Greek word  would reflect American usage in pronouncing  [laílæps] – it is in the US that tornadoes are commonplace – the latter “hypercorrect” version became the written form.

In children
Like astraphobia, lilapsophobia is a common fear for children, although less common. Because children are just learning to distinguish between fantasy and reality, major storm broadcasts on television or discussion by parents can cause fear that the storm is coming with a tornadic potential or a hurricane.

Because fear is a part of normal child development, this phobia is not diagnosed unless if persisted for more than six months. Parents should conquer the child's fear by telling them how rare the major storms that hit hometown area are.

In popular culture
In the 1996 film Twister, Dr. Jo Harding (Helen Hunt), while becoming a storm chaser, suffers from lilapsophobia due to her father's death in a tornado when she was a child.

The 2011 tornado in Joplin prompted Karin R. Herrmann of Miami, Oklahoma, who suffered from lilapsophobia, to write about her experience.

Thousands of pilgrims visit the place in winter every year, especially on the Makar Sankranti day for a holy dip in the sacred kund which is believed to wash away one's sins. There is a mythological story behind this beautiful place as told by the local people. It is believed that Parashurama the sixth incarnation of Vishnu, on the orders of his father Rishi Jamadagni, beheaded his mother Renuka with his axe. Since he had committed one of the worst crimes of killing one's mother, the axe got stuck to his hand. His father pleased with his obedience decided to give him a boon to which he asked for his mother to be restored back to life. Even after his mother was brought back to life the axe could not be removed from his hand. This was a reminder of the heinous crime he had committed. He repented for his crime and on taking the advice of eminent rishis of that time, he arrived at the banks of Lohit River to wash his hands in its pure waters. It was a way to cleanse him of all the sins. As soon as he dipped his hands into the waters the axe immediately got detached and since then the site where he washed his hands became a place of worship and came to be known by sadhus as Parshuram Kund.
Also there are many stories varying from region to region in India that describe the above incident and there are numerous temples dedicated to Parashurama most of which are in Kerala. But this place attracts many pilgrims from near and far and quite a few sanyasis reside here and take care of the temple that is dedicated to Parashurama.

History
The site of the Parashuram Kund as established by the sadhu was in existence until the 1950 Assam earthquake that shook the whole of the North-East and the kund was completely covered. A very strong current is now flowing over the original site of the kund but massive boulders have in a mysterious way embedded themselves in a circular formation in the river bed thus forming another kund in place of the old.
The temple which is believed to be the home of Malini (Parvati) is situated on the rocky hills of the Ghagra and Ghai rivers in the Likabali sub-division. Read more here.

Tourism
Annual fair is held during Makara Sankranti, to which wild cows, rare fur-rugs and other curios are brought down by the hill tribes. There are also facilities for trekking from Tezu to glow lake which takes one day, hiking and river rafting and angling on the river Lohit.

Connectivity
The nearest railway station is Tinsukia (160 km) from where buses are available via Namsai. There are also buses available from Sadiya. The nearest airports are Tezu and Dibrugarh (Assam).

There is no railway available to Parshuram Kund as of now. A survey of 122 km Rupai-Parshuram Kund broad gauge railway line was complete at the initiative of Arunachal Chamber of Commerce and Industries, while a preliminary engineering-traffic survey for the Pasighat-Tezu-Parsuram Kund was conducted by northeast frontier railways at the request of the state government.

The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill football scandal is an incident in which the football program at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill was investigated and punished for multiple violations of National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) rules and regulations, including academic fraud and improper benefits to student-athletes from sports agents. The NCAA investigation found that a tutor had completed coursework for several football players, among other improper services. Additionally, the investigation found that seven football players received thousands of dollars in valuables from sports agents or people associated with agents. The NCAA sanctions led to a postseason ban, a reduction of 15 scholarships, and three years of probation. It was the second major infraction case in North Carolina's history and the first since the men's basketball program was sanctioned in 1960 for recruiting violations.

Additionally, North Carolina football disassociated itself with several players involved in NCAA violations and fired football head coach Butch Davis in the summer before the 2011 season. In 2013, the district attorney of Orange County, North Carolina, the county where the university is located, initiated prosecution against five people involved in the scandal for violations of the state law about sports agents. Among the charged included the tutor found by the NCAA to have provided inappropriate academic assistance to players. The charges were later dropped.

History

Investigations and suspensions
On July 15, 2010, ESPN reported that the NCAA interviewed several North Carolina football players over alleged gifts, extra benefits, and sports agent involvement. Defensive tackle Marvin Austin, among players interviewed by the NCAA, made a post on Twitter on May 29. The post contained a reference to Club LIV, a nightclub in Miami, Florida in which a sports agent's party had taken place two months earlier. Austin was reported to have attended that party with North Carolina wide receiver Greg Little and South Carolina tight end Weslye Saunders, among other college football players.

On August 26, 2010, the NCAA began a separate investigation of North Carolina football that involved possible academic fraud involving a tutor in the university's academic support program. The tutor was later identified as Jennifer Wiley. According to athletic director Dick Baddour, the NCAA began the second investigation based on information shared by a player interviewed in the first investigation into sports agents. Another source familiar with the investigation said that Wiley was accused of "inappropriate help on papers that football players were required to write for classes." However, Baddour said on September 24 that Wiley declined to cooperate with the NCAA.

North Carolina suspended Austin on September 1, before the season began. In total, thirteen players missed North Carolina's September 4 season opener against LSU due to the NCAA investigation. The following day, defensive line coach and associate head coach John Blake was forced to resign; Blake had been under investigation for improper contact with sports agents, including Gary Wichard. On September 13, running back Shaun Draughn was the first of the 13 to be reinstated. On September 22, the NCAA suspended defensive backs Kendric Burney and Deunta Williams for six and four games, respectively, and credited the two for the two games both had already sat out. On October 11, 2010, North Carolina formally dismissed Austin from the team, and the NCAA declared wide receiver Little and defensive end Robert Quinn "permanently ineligible" due to receiving improper benefits.

McAdoo lawsuit against NCAA
Defensive end Michael McAdoo filed a lawsuit against the NCAA on July 1, 2011 seeking reinstatement to the North Carolina football team. This followed the NCAA finding McAdoo guilty of accepting improper benefits and committing academic fraud via coursework completed by Jennifer Wiley. The NCAA reached its verdict based on the UNC Undergraduate Honor Court finding that McAdoo committed academic dishonesty by having Wiley complete a bibliography and works-cited section on a research paper. From this lawsuit, McAdoo was forced to make public the paper; an analysis by Dan Kane of the Raleigh News & Observer found that the Honor Court failed to find multiple instances of plagiarism in McAdoo's paper. On July 13, a North Carolina Superior Court judge in Durham refused to grant an injunction against the NCAA, thus upholding ineligibility for McAdoo.

NCAA findings
In June 2011, the NCAA brought up formal allegations against North Carolina football. On March 12, 2012, the NCAA released its public infractions report for North Carolina. The NCAA found North Carolina guilty of multiple infractions, including academic fraud and failure to monitor the football program. However, the NCAA did not find anything extending to lack of institutional control, explaining that the university "educated its tutors regarding academic improprieties and its coaches regarding outside athletically related income...self-discovered the academic fraud and took decisive action...cooperated fully, is not a repeat violator and...exhibited appropriate control over its athletics program."

Department of African and Afro-American Studies controversy

As the NCAA investigated issues relating to sports agents and academic dishonesty, the university's Department of African and Afro-American Studies (AFAM) came under scrutiny due to the numerous football and basketball student-athletes enrolled in such classes. On September 1, 2011, department chair Julius Nyang'oro resigned from his executive position but remained on faculty.

In 2012, an internal investigation by the university and another inquiry led by former North Carolina governor James G. Martin found evidence of unethical practices by AFAM, such as limited class meetings and unauthorized grade changes. The university's internal investigation found that the questionable classes benefited the general student body, not just student-athletes.

Sanctions

Self-imposed
Citing harm to its reputation, North Carolina fired Butch Davis on July 27, 2011. The next day, Dick Baddour announced that he would resign and allow chancellor Holden Thorp to hire a football head coach. Also, defensive coordinator Everett Withers was promoted to interim head coach while the university sought a permanent one.

In September 2011, North Carolina vacated all 16 wins from its 2008 and 2009 seasons.

In November 2013, North Carolina sent a disassociation letter to Austin, Little, and Quinn.

From the NCAA
On March 12, 2012, the NCAA issued formal sanctions against North Carolina football: a postseason ban for 2012, reductions of 15 scholarships, and 3 years of probation. Among the NCAA's findings: John Blake was paid by agent Gary Wichard, to whom Blake referred players. Consequently,  Blake got a three-year show-cause penalty with severe restrictions on employment at NCAA member schools.

Criminal charges
On September 30, 2013, a grand jury in Orange County, North Carolina issued sealed indictments on five people for 25 charges of violating the state Uniform Athlete Agents Act. Among the five charged were Jennifer Wiley (now married and known as Jennifer Wiley Thompson), sports agent Terry Watson, and Michael Wayne Johnson Jr., a former quarterback at North Carolina Central University accused of acting as a "go-between" for Terry Watson and Greg Little.

Julius Nyang'oro was indicted by a grand jury in the same county on December 2, 2013.

title: Lucrina Fetti

text:
Lucrina Fetti (c. 1590 – c. 1673) was an Italian painter born in Rome under the name Giustina She was the daughter of a lesser-known painter, Pietro Fetti, and the sister and pupil of the more distinguished painter of the family, Domenico Fetti. She accompanied her family to Mantua when her brother was invited to be court painter to Ferdinando Gonzaga, Duke of Mantua. On December 3, 1614, Duke Ferdinando exclusively gave Giustina a dowry of 150 scudi so she could become a Clarissan nun in the Convent of St. Ursula. Once she entered the convent, she chose to change her name to "Lucrina". She was known for her religious works from her family's workshop. They were mostly meant for decorations for the church and convent that were sponsored by Margherita Gonzaga, Duchess of Ferrara. She was also known for doing portraits of the women of the Gonzaga family.

Lucrina and Her Art

After entering the convent, Lucrina lived there for the rest of her life either painting decorations for the convent or painting portraits of the princesses who were raised there. She learned how to paint from her brother, Domenico. He was a male family member who was already artistically trained, so it was common for him to pass down his knowledge onto his family. However, since she became a nun, her sheltered lifestyle provided her with limited resources to visual models, artistic training, and documentary sources to record her personal life. It was only until recently that scholars were able to gather a complete collection of Lucrina's work since most of her work was mixed up with her brother's work.

Lucrina painted these portraits solely for the convent without expecting any financial compensation for her work. This situation was very typical for nun-painters. Her paintings fell under two categories, either portraits or works on religious subjects. It was determined that she made more religious works than portraits. There were about ten religious works that were found throughout the convent's external church that were made by or partly made by Lucrina. Most were found in the chapel dedicated to Saint Margaret, while the rest were found on the chapel walls. They all portrayed the life of Christ. These included “The Annunciation”, “Visitation”, and “Adoration of the Shepherds”. They were also inscribed with the abbreviation “S.L.F.R.F.S.O” or “Suor Lucrina Fetti Romana fece in Sant’Orsola” and the date 1629. The mediocre quality of the paintings implied a sharp decline of artistic development since her brother died six years earlier.

Her second group of paintings, portraits of the women of the Gonzaga family, was highly considered by Margherita Gonzaga and she commissioned many paintings from Lucrina. However, her painting had a greater increase in quality after Margherita's death in 1618. For instance, it was widely known that portraits of important women demanded careful attention to detail and a thorough visual record of the model's costume and accessories. These two qualities were clearly evident in Lucrina's portrait of Eleonora Gonzaga during her marriage to Emperor Ferdinando II. Some other portraits she did included Margherita Gonzaga when she was a widow and Caterina de’ Medici Gonzaga with a striking resemblance to Saint Helena.

Other skills
When Lucrina was not providing paintings for the church, she spent the remaining time supporting the convent by taking care of inheritance claims that were associated with Domenico. Ten years after Magherita's death in 1618 financial strains were brought upon the convent. However, Lucrina was able to demonstrate that she had some economic and political knowledge by representing Sant’Orsola and winning appeals for the ownership of family properties.
She died around 1673, spending nearly sixty years serving the convent as a nun, painter and economic negotiator.

Pageantry

Miss Indonesia 2014
Maria participated in Miss Indonesia 2014 representing West Sulawesi. She was crowned Miss Indonesia 2014 or Miss World Indonesia 2014 by the outgoing titleholder Vania Larissa on 17 February 2014. She managed to beat 33 other contestants from different provinces in Indonesia. During the contest, the head judge Liliana Tanoesoedibjo asked what Maria would do if she won, she said:

"I will represent Indonesia with all my heart. We have diversity that needs to be promoted. It's difficult, but it must be done."

Miss World 2014

Controversies

Before being selected as a representative for Miss Indonesia, Maria was criticized with regards to her connection to West Sulawesi since she was not from there. She was raised in California, United States and Bali, and she had never set foot in West Sulawesi nor had any family or relatives from West Sulawesi.

Originally, Maria intended to represent Bali in Miss Indonesia. However, since a representative from Bali had been chosen, the Miss Indonesia committee suggested that Maria represent West Sulawesi, as a representative from West Sulawesi had yet to be chosen.

With regards to this matter, the governor of West Sulawesi, Anwar Adnan Saleh explained that before the competition, Maria had requested his permission to represent West Sulawesi via telephone. Anwar congratulated Maria for winning Miss Indonesia and hoped that Maria could visit West Sulawesi. Maria agreed to attend some events in West Sulawesi, including the West Sulawesi Cultural Carnival.

He also served as an agent of the estate of Princess Ruth Keʻelikōlani.

Kaʻai began his legislative career as a member of the House of Representatives, the lower house of the legislature of the kingdom, for the district of South Kona. He sat as a representative during the legislative assemblies from 1870 to 1874. During the special session and regular session of 1874, he presided as Vice President of the Legislative Assembly. After the accession of King Kalākaua to the Hawaiian throne, Kaʻai switched his former loyalty from the defeated Queen Emma and became a supporter of the new monarch. Kalākaua appointed him to the House of Nobles, the upper house of the legislature, on January 11, 1876, and as a member of his Privy Council of State on December 10, 1877. Kaʻai would serve as either a noble or cabinet minister from 1876 to his death in 1884.

Kaʻai was a leading figure of a new generation of Hawaiian leaders, along with Prince Leleiohoku II (the brother of the king) and John Mākini Kapena. The king appointed him to succeed Kapena as Minister of Finance from July 3, 1878 to August 14, 1880. From May 20, 1882 to August 8, 1882, he served as Minister of the Interior. He was appointed as Minister of Finance for a second term from August 8, 1882 to February 13, 1883. An avid supporter of the absolute power of the king, Kaʻai once stated at a public meeting in 1880 after his first dismissal from the cabinet that "the King has the absolute right to make and unmake cabinets, and that no one has the right to object or criticize no matter what he does or how he does it." Historian Ralph Simpson Kuykendall notes, "This statement is of great interest, for it contains the very essence of one side of the constitutional controversy that raged in Hawaii for the next dozen years."
Kaʻai was dismissed from his second term as minister on February 13, 1883. The reason cited was for "dereliction of ministerial duty" with American ambassador Rollin M. Daggett writing, he was dismissed "because of his notorious and persistent intemperance." Kapena was appointed Minister of Finance in his place.

Death
Kaʻai died from a "paralysis of the brain", at his residence in Kapālama, on March 22, 1884. His funeral the following day was officiated by Reverend Henry Hodges Parker while many members of the government paid their respect to his passing. He was interred beside his first wife in the cemetery of Kawaiahaʻo Church. He left a widow Becky Kekoa Kaʻai (1863?–1903), his second wife, and a surviving son Ernest Kaʻai who became a renowned musician and "Hawaii's Greatest Ukulele Player".
