Oklahoma City — From the day Alani was born, Rachel Petties knew her fifth child was different.
Petties' four older children had the typical infant chubbiness, but Alani had the muscles of a seasoned athlete coupled with a swollen belly when she was born in January 2014. She nursed ravenously, but didn't gain weight. Doctors told her it was nothing to worry about, but her "gut feeling" told her something needed to be done.
It wasn't until her daughter was hospitalized at the Children's Hospital at University of Oklahoma Medical Center for a severe cold that someone listened. A geneticist at the hospital confirmed what Petties suspected from doing internet research: Alani had congenital generalized lipodystrophy, a disease so rare that only one person in 10 million has it. So far as Petties, of Midwest City, knows, no one else in Oklahoma or any of the surrounding states has it.
Congenital generalized lipodystrophy interferes with the body's ability to store fat, according to the National Library of Medicine. The disease develops when both parents of a child pass down a specific mutation on genes that control fat-storing cells. The parents, who carry one copy of the gene, typically aren't affected and don't realize they have it.
A healthy body stores excess energy from food in fat cells, and releases when the body needs more energy than it is taking in. Fat cells also make hormones that may play a role in the immune system and the body's ability to use insulin, according to Abhimanyu Garg, chief of nutrition and metabolic diseases at University of Texas Southwestern. Garg studies lipodystrophy and related disorders.
Sometimes, if a person is obese, the body will reach the limit of how much it can store in its fat cells, and will start stashing fat in organs like the liver. The same thing happens in children with lipodystrophy, because they don't have viable fat cells for storage. The result is that children who look unusually skinny and muscular can develop problems typically seen in overweight adults, like diabetes and heart problems.
Alani's body had stored fat in her muscles and liver, which made her belly swell and her infant arms look like a bodybuilder's. Blood work from when she was only a few months old showed signs of impending diabetes and a triglyceride level of 660, but the doctors she had seen didn't flag it as a concern, Petties said. Anything above 200 is considered high, and a risk for heart problems.
"How come nobody questioned that?" she said. "I don't expect anybody to know lipodystrophy, because I didn't, but I do expect them to question that."
Petties' experience of struggling to get a diagnosis for her daughter inspired her to volunteer to work with organizations for families with rare diseases. She encourages parents to speak up if something doesn't seem right, and to advocate for their children.
Helping others "is my therapy," she said. "I want them to understand that they have a voice."
In some ways, though, Alani was more fortunate than other patients. Her diagnosis took months, instead of years or decades, allowing her mother to start her on a strict diet and a daily injection to try to stave off complications from her illness. She also participates in research at the National Institutes of Health aimed at developing a better treatment or cure.
Alani's diet is limited to lean meats, 1-percent milk and fresh or frozen fruits and vegetables. Desserts and high-fat foods are out, and Petties has to watch carefully to ensure she doesn't overeat even healthy snacks. The daily injections of leptin, a hormone produced in fat tissue, curb her appetite somewhat and reduce her risk of diabetes, but don't replace monitoring her diet.
"When you give her these bad foods, you need to understand it's going to her liver," Petties said. "There's no room for margin of error."
Alani's immune system isn't as strong as most people's, so she has to avoid anyone with a cold. Her skin is more fragile than most people's, so she has to limit her time in the sun, and the lack of fat makes it hard for her body maintain its temperature. Petties had to remind her to put on socks before going into the kitchen, for fear the transition from carpet to a cold, hard floor would be too much.
For the time being, however, Alani seems unaware of the rigid rules she will have to follow to stay healthy. Eventually, she'll have to decide how to live, and whether to keep pursuing a cure that may be far off. But for now, she still has a three-year-old's magical touch, turning containers of Vicks VapoRub into drums, a doll-sized crutch into a microphone and first-time visitors into new playmates.
And Petties tries to show her a world that isn't narrowed by disease, whether that means letting her decide when to munch on a healthy snack, traveling together to talk about her condition or pointing out the one red tree in a forest of green ones: rare, different, and beautiful.
"Lipodystrophy doesn't define us," she said. "It's just a disease."

TRIPS: The Story of How Intellectual Property Became Linked to Trade (6/7)
Professor Peter Drahos says the story of the trade agreement is not just a story of power, it's also a story of clever psychology
Peter Drahos on the WTO TRIPS Agreement: IPR Linked To World Trade
LYNN FRIES: Welcome to The Real News Network. I'm Lynn Fries in Geneva.
This is part 6 of a series with Peter Drahos who is explaining the story of IP linked to trade.
Joining us from Australia, Peter Drahos is a Professor at the Australian National University, in the School of Regulation and Global Governance. He holds a Chair in Intellectual Property at Queen Mary, the University of London. Peter Drahos is co-author of Information Feudalism: Who Owns the Knowledge Economy?
Welcome Peter.
PETER DRAHOS: Thank you, Lynn.
FRIES: Let's talk now about the kind of new morality that was used to justify the TRIPS agreement.
DRAHOS: Yes, TRIPS is not just a story of power, and it's not just a story of networking, it's also a story of clever psychology. And this is a phenomenon that's sometimes referred to as framing. My co-author and I, John Braithewaite, talk about it as a contest of principles. So back in the 1980s, the architects of TRIPS talked about it in very simple terms. They said that it was a case of people being pirates, of stealing from the mind. And so they depicted intellectual property rights as property that one had a right to and the people who made use of knowledge as pirates, as thieves.
And so this was a very simple framing device. I'm sure we all remember the ads that appear at the end of our videos. The idea that stealing the video was no different to stealing a car. So making the – in drawing the simple analogies has a very powerful effect on our perceptions, on the psychology of intellectual property.
So a simple way in which to try and justify intellectual property rights is to say that if one plants an orchard one is entitled to the fruit in that orchard. This is the idea that one is entitled to what one has labored for. Now that certainly makes a lot of sense in relation to apples. It's a much more complex picture when it comes to knowledge
At some point, we have to acknowledge that there are many contributors to knowledge. And that there are successive generations of people. This intuitive idea that Newton talked about of standing on the shoulders of giants. Well we don't want somebody to kick away the ladder. We want that possibility of standing on the shoulders of giants, of being able to contribute to knowledge. That's an important process that helps to develop knowledge and helps to diffuse it. So it's a complicated story and drawing simple analogies between IPR and the ownership of cars completely obliterates this complex truth.
FRIES: Talk about subsequent resistance to this framing device and to the consequences of TRIPS.
DRAHOS: What happened was the movement in the 1990s civil society, the activists began to point out that actually there's a much more complex truth here. That inventions often rely on research in public universities. And that IP owners often had not invented what they owned. And there was a lot of complexity to how knowledge moved around. And so they essentially, reframed the debate. And they began talking about …patent profits being more important than public health. And of course when one puts it that way the idea that patents are more important than public health we immediately begin to think differently because the purpose of patents ultimately are to help public health. I mean the whole reason we have patents ultimately are to have medicines that make us better.
So as a result of the passage of TRIPS people really began to question what impact strong product patents in India, in China would ultimately have on the price of medicines for everybody.
As people began to study the provisions they began to realize that this would have dramatic implications for the cost of medicines. And the price of medicines effect citizens everywhere whether in the United States or whether in South Africa or whether in India or any country. So as a result of the passage of TRIPS people really began to question what impact strong product patents in India, in China would ultimately have on the price of medicines for everybody.
People began to look at the implications of patents over seeds. So there were many farmer protests in the 1990s. In India there was a lot of questioning of the power of companies like Monsanto.
In the copyright area, people like the – well, software programmers who were committed to free software, who were committed to the idea that algorithms should remain a public good began to speak up and resist the kind of consequences that TRIPS was visiting upon them.
A lot of people around the world have reservations about the idea that one can own bits of biology. That one can own animals. They one can own seeds and this is a cultural objection. It's a moral objection. Of course, every country is entitled to its own particular moral position, to its own set of values. The problem here is that in pushing out and globalizing patents and globalizing intellectual property rights you are at the same time globalizing a set of value judgements. So that's why intellectual property rights encounter resistance in many countries for example in South America where many indigenous people believe that these things should not be owned. But it's not just indigenous people even citizens in the US would have, many citizens would have qualms about the extent of ownership that the patent system now enables in relation to animals, plants and seeds and so on.
FRIES: Give us some idea of the kind of effort going on to protect the public domain.
DRAHOS: The idea for example of owning a single gene that would control all the milk through all the dairy cows in the world is an extreme possibility I think we would all agree. But it is a possibility that is now raised by our intellectual property system. And it takes a lot of hard work to make sure that genes remain in the public domain. There is a tremendous amount of litigation that's taken place over the decades to establish the fundamental idea that genes exist in nature and should not be the subject of patents.
So going back to the idea of genes, we can all agree that genes that exist in nature should be available to all of us. But importantly, we should also all agree that legal stratagems to try and circumvent that basic principle should also not be allowed. So for example, simplied by isolating a gene or purifying it in some way and gaining ownership of it in that way that's another stratagem that we should not allow. The price of making sure that we have a vibrant intellectual commons from which we can all draw is eternal vigilance.
FRIES: Comment on this other dimension to globalization of intellectual property rights – the issue related to their enforcement.
DRAHOS: Now historically many intellectual property rights were a civil matter. They were predominately enforced in civil litigation. But what we see increasingly is that people can be sent to jail for downloading, for infringing copyright, for the act of copying. So there's been a great shift in the world to use the criminal law to enforce monopoly privileges. And that's very, very alarming. Because it has a chilling effect. Because IP laws are complex.
It's not clear to a librarian what she or he may do in terms of uploading something for other library users to use. It's not clear to educators for example what they may or may not do. And likewise patent law is very complex and it's not often clear what the position in patent law is. And so if one is of a cautious disposition, you obviously do nothing rather than take a risk. And particularly when the criminal law comes into play the chilling effect of these monopoly privileges are potentially very, very large.
FRIES: What's a key takeaway from the story of TRIPS?
DRAHOS: We should all be worried about the TRIPS story because it really signals a global world that we as citizens really don't want. We all have interests in knowledge diffusing. As children we copy people, we imitate people. That's the very basis of learning. And what we see today are multinationals turning knowledge into a private good. And that basically means that inequality will continue to grow. It will slow down the diffusion of knowledge. And ultimately it will not serve the kinds of public goods that we want as citizens – the public goods of education, the public goods of research.
On top of that, multinationals are creating a new kind of morality around the private good of knowledge. They are locking it up. They are saying to us, it's bad to imitate. It's bad to copy. That's simply not true. And in addition to all that, they are using the state…they are creating a kind of Kafka-esque criminal apparatus. They want to throw us in jail. And its lucky for us that many people around the world are resisting this.
Young people, brilliant software engineers who really understand the importance of sharing algorithms, trying to diffuse knowledge. And so I am really heartened by the fact that we have great activists in America, in Europe, great software programmers, scientists that speak out against patenting. All of these things, all of these voices give me a lot of heart. That there is a fight back. We don't want to live in a world where you can be sent to jail for doing something that is natural and human. To model others, to copy others and to learn from them.
So the basic logic that's really was elaborated in the 20th century and now drives the entire world is that of a hegemonic power over knowledge. We as citizens want knowledge to diffuse. That causes equality. But what multinationals want is power over knowledge. They basically want to take a public good and turn it into a private good. That's the problem. And on top of that, they want to create a new kind of morality around that private good. They want to criminalize what comes naturally to us – that of copying, that of sharing. We do that as children. It's the only way that we learn. And so we really as citizens have to contest this knowledge – that's the key – this hegemonic power over knowledge. If we don't do that we will move into a world where wealth will continue to be unequally distributed and the diffusion of knowledge will be slowed down. And there will be a terrible price to pay for that.

My first Stitch Fix box.
I love clothes. It's my thing. If you offered me a diamond or a new wardrobe, I would definitely pick the clothing. Clothing makes me feel good. Having a great outfit totally boosts your confidence and makes you feel terrific. When I heard about Stitch Fix, I totally became excited. I was so ready to step outside my "normal" box and be led by an experienced stylist.
Here's how it works. Go to Stitch Fix and create a style profile. This gives your stylist an idea of your taste, size, likes, and dislikes. You can also add your style board from Pinterest. This is very important. Your stylist gets a ton of information about what you are looking for from this. Make sure to comment on your pictures stating exactly what you like about what you pinned. You can check out my style board here.
You can make notes for you stylist letting them know exactly what you are looking for. I told her I was looking for comfy, everyday clothes. I also told her that I wanted a pair of jeans and that I liked flannel and cowgirl looks.
The first thing I noticed about my box when it arrived was everything was super soft. It felt just like my soft yoga pants that I love. I couldn't wait to shower and try everything on. My stylist, Stephanie, even sent me a note. I felt so in love. She decided that blues would look great with my bright red hair. Really? I would have never guessed blue.
So now I have you curious. What did I keep? What did I send back? Did I buy it all?
Here, I have on the Aiken Draped Plaid Cotton Cardigan, Sam Hi-Lo Short Sleeve Tee, and Just Black Jacob High Rise Skinny Jeans. The boots are my own from Just Fab.
The moment I slipped the jeans from Just Black on, I was in love. OK, not just in love but head over heels in love. I would have never on my own purchased high rise jeans. I would have said they're dorky. They cover and compliment all the Mommy stretched out parts. This picture doesn't do them justice. They are now my favorite jeans. They are so soft and fit this short girl perfectly. They were a keeper. You would have had to pry them away from me.
When I saw the cardigan I wanted to love it. I love plaid and flannel, but I didn't fall in love with this cardigan. I loved the crochet pattern on the back (not shown). I did not like that it looked like it would need to be ironed,just kind of looked messy,and didn't show off my figure in a positive way. I sent it back.
The Sam short sleeve top was so soft. But, even with a t-shirt bra it didn't look smooth. I'm all about having everything smooth. It just wasn't going to work. I sent it back.
When I picked up the Aleah Heathered V-neck Dolman top I thought it looked huge and there is no way I was going to like it. Boy, I was wrong. I need to take another photo of it to show it off. It is v-neck and roomy, but around the waist it's fitted making a really cool silhouette. I went back and forth on this piece. I didn't love it, like I loved the jeans, but I decided to take a leap of faith and add it to my wardrobe because it's something that I have nothing else like and it can be dressed up or down.
Finally you see a close up of the Tina Checkered Infinity Scarf. I would have never picked this on my own. I admired how the blue complimented my red hair. My stylist was correct. I also ended up keeping the scarf. My whole purpose of this is to update my wardrobe and add new pieces. The great thing is you get little cards showing how to wear each piece.
So, I ended up keeping 3 out of the 5 pieces sent. Now, I have you wondering how does it work. When you sign up (you can choose how often you receive Stitch Fix). There is a $20 styling fee. If you purchase something from your box that $20 styling fee is applied toward that item. If you end up purchasing the whole box you receive an additional 25% off. It works out almost better to keep the whole box instead of what I did.
After you make your decisions you rate how your stylist did. That way each month will keep getting better. I let her know exactly why the cardigan and silver top did not work for me.
I scheduled my next box for before Christmas. I advised her that I wanted something comfy and expandable for Christmas, in red and green. I also mentioned something sparkly for New Years. I made sure I went and added what I was looking for to my board.
Would I recommend Stitch Fix? Yes, it's so nice stepping outside the box. It makes you feel pampered and I decided I sometimes need a little pampering. I might not love everything but you're only paying a $20 styling fee. With the new intense love I found for those jeans, it was so worth it.
How do you sign up? Click here. I will see you again in December! Let me know how your Stitch Fix goes.

La zingara (La Bohémienne) est un opéra semiseria (melodramma semiserio) en deux actes, musique de Gaetano Donizetti, livret d'Andrea Leone Tottola, représenté pour la première fois au Teatro Nuovo de Naples le .

Histoire

Après le succès de Zoraida di Granata, créé à Rome au début de 1822, Donizetti part dans la seconde quinzaine de février pour Naples, où il s'est engagé par contrat vis-à-vis de l'impresario Domenico Barbaja. Il y arrive peu de jours avant que Rossini ne quitte définitivement la ville avec Isabella Colbran, la célèbre prima donna qu'il ne va pas tarder à épouser.

À Naples, parmi divers travaux comme la direction des répétitions d'un ouvrage de Carafa et la composition d'une cantate pour la naissance de la fille du prince de Salerne, Marie-Thérèse, future impératrice du Brésil, Donizetti compose très rapidement un nouvel opéra sur un livret du prolifique Andrea Leone Tottola, basé sur un mélodrame de Louis-Charles Caigniez intitulé La Petite bohémienne (Paris, 1816), lui-même imité d'une pièce d'August von Kotzebue.

Créée au Teatro Nuovo le , La zingara enchante le public napolitain et reçoit vingt-huit représentations consécutives. Donizetti lui-même écrit le 14 mai : « Le chanceux Donizetti a fait ses débuts dimanche avec La zingara, et le public n'a pas ménagé ses compliments. Je pourrais presque dire qu'il l'en a couvert, alors qu'à Naples ils applaudissent très peu [...] Hier, à la deuxième représentation, le public n'a pas négligé certains morceaux qui lui avaient échappé le premier soir. J'ai été appelé à nouveau pour recevoir des applaudissements que les chanteurs méritaient peut-être plus que moi. Ce soir, pour la première fois, le roi viendra. »

Dès le mois de juillet, La zingara est reprise à Naples et tient encore l'affiche pendant vingt représentations. Premier opéra de Donizetti à être représenté en dehors d'Italie, elle est donnée en Allemagne en 1823. Elle a sa dernière représentation au  à La Havane en 1859. Elle n'est remontée, avec succès, qu'en 2001 au festival de Martina Franca.

Argument

Le méchant Ranuccio a fait emprisonner Don Sebastiano dans son château et médite d'assassiner le duc d'Alziras. La fille de Ranuccio, Ines, aime le frère du duc, Ferrando, mais son père veut lui faire épouser Antonio, neveu de Don Sebastiano. Argilla, une Bohémienne rusée, de passage au château pour y dire la bonne aventure aux uns et aux autres, a vent de ces intrigues et parvient à les déjouer. Elle unit les amants Ines et Ferrando, déjoue le complot de Ranuccio pour assassiner le duc d'Alziras, réunit ce dernier avec son frère Ferrando et libère Don Sebastiano, non sans convaincre au passage le domestique ridicule Pappacione d'explorer une vieille citerne à la recherche d'or. En définitive, elle se révèle être la fille depuis longtemps perdue de Don Sebastiano.

La zingara comporte, comme c'était la règle au Teatro Nuovo, une basse bouffe — le célèbre Carlo Casaccia lors de la première — et des dialogues parlés en napolitain qui lui confèrent son caractère semiserio. Pour le reste, il s'agit d'un de ces mélodrames compliqués et larmoyants dans la tradition de Kotzebue, dont la pièce de Caigniez est paraît-il inspirée.

Le septuor de l'acte II passe pour être la préfiguration du sextuor de Lucia di Lammermoor.

Lest the video create anymore confusion, he reiterated that he is not the Satoshi Nakamoto who created the currency. "My name is Dorian Satoshi Nakamoto and of course if I was the creator, I would never use my real name," he said. "So from that point of view, I'm sure you guys would know, that Satoshi Nakamoto is not me. But [writer Leah McGrath Goodman] thinks so and Newsweek said so, but it's not true." And if it is true, this is one convoluted money-making scheme.


KLM retired a 747-400 Combi (27202) [FAT 004152]. This is the seventh 747-400M the Netherlands-based carrier has retired, leaving it with ten still in operation, along with three 747-400ERFs and one 747-400BCF operated by subsidiary carrier Martinair.
Rapidly-growing Turkish Airlines adds initial 777F (60403), welcoming the first of two 777Fs it has on order with Boeing with a celebration at its global hub in Istanbul. The 777F arrived in Turkey last week after being ferried from Boeing's Paine Field facility, and was immediately placed into service with Turkish's subcarrier, Turkish Cargo, in support of its rapidly growing air cargo operations [FAT 004149].
DHL Express took redelivery of an A330-300P2F (116, ex-Malaysia Airlines) following conversion to freighter configuration by EFW [FATs 004153 – 4155]. This is the first-ever A330 freighter conversion, and the first of eight A330-300 P-to-F conversions DHL has on firm order with EFW. Following redelivery, DHL immediately handed the freighter over to ASL Airlines Ireland for CMI operation in DHL's Asia network – and by "immediately" we mean without a stop in the paint shop for application of DHL livery. Yes, DHL's need for main-deck capacity in Asia is that urgent.
China-based SF Airlines acquired a 767-300ER (28979, ex-TUI Airways) for conversion to freighter configuration. No announcement has been made regarding conversion house, but SF has had five 767-300s converted to BCF freighter configuration by Boeing. The aircraft is currently in Goodyear (GYR) for maintenance.
Atlas Air acquired a 767-300 (28865, ex-Thomas Cook Airlines) and ferried it to Tel Aviv, where Atlas will have it converted to freighter configuration by Bedek (FATs 004144 – 004145).
GECAS to convert a 767-300ER (26208). This is a 1994-build aircraft, operated in passenger configuration most recently by EuroAtantic Airways, until it was returned off lease to GECAS in October 2016. The aircraft was ferried to Tel Aviv where it will be converted to BDSF configuration by Bedek [FAT 004147-004148].
New Zealand-based Airwork acquired a 757-200 (25731, ex-American Airlines) and will have it converted to PCF freighter configuration by Precision Aircraft Solutions [FATs 004156 – 4157].
Pakistan-based Vision Air International acquired a 737-300QC from ASL Airlines France (24388) [FATs 004146]. The aircraft joins the passenger-and-cargo-charter specialist's 737 fleet, which previously consisted of one -200F and a single -300QC.
IFL Group put another CRJ-200 (8064, ex-Air Nostrum) into conversion with Aeronautical Engineers, Inc [FAT 004158]. Following conversion, the freighter will be operated by IFL subsidiary carrier Gulf & Caribbean Cargo.
Estonia's Airest to become Europe's first CRJ200 SF operator. The carrier plans to lease the aircraft from Miami-based Regional One, which recently firmed up the CRJ200 SF conversion order with Aeronautical Engineers, Inc (AEI). Last week, the CRJ200 (7452, ex-J-Air) was inducted for conversion at Commercial Jet's facility in Miami [FAT 004150-004151]. Redelivery of the freighter is scheduled for early April. Airest expects to acquire and operate up to four CRJ200 SFs, some of which will likely replace its fleet of eight aging Saab 340A freighters.


Spiritual gifts function exclusively inside God's spiritual power system under the enabling power of the Holy Spirit totally apart from any function of emotion or ritual.
God's Word describes the spiritual gifts as being the Father's witness to the saving work of Jesus Christ on the cross and to our Lord's strategic victory in the angelic conflict.
A fourth category of assets in the portfolio of invisible assets are the unique assets for every Church Age believer. There are at least eleven assets in this category.
The baptism of the Holy Spirit results in union with Christ or positional sanctification. This creates the royal family of God as a new spiritual species. God created the protocol plan that is unique to the Church Age for His royal family.
Within the royal family, positional sanctification establishes equality under election and predestination that includes the equal privilege and equal opportunity that God gives every believer at salvation.
Equal privilege under election is our royal priesthood whereby we represent others and ourselves to God.
Equal opportunity for every member of God's royal family is established with efficacious grace under election and maintained by the logistical grace support that God the Father provides for every believer.
Equal privilege under predestination is created by the baptism of the Holy Spirit that establishes our irrevocable union with our Lord Jesus Christ.
Equal opportunity under predestination is provided when the believer enters into and deploys the power that is available within God's operational spiritual power system for the church.
The provision of the ten problem solving devices, that believers can use to prevent the outside pressure of adversity from being converted into the inside pressure of stress in the soul that is the basis for the mental attitude sins that enables of old sin nature to establish control over the believer's soul.
Believers represent themselves before God in their commission as royal priests, they represent God to those in a lost and dying world through their commission as royal ambassadors and they stand their ground with Bible Doctrine in the adversity of the devil's world in their commission as soldiers for Christ. These three commissions are the basis for the believer's full time Christian service.
The mystery doctrine of the Church Age reveals the assets that are available for each commission and how they are to be deployed under God's grace policy.

Sparkle Lord (formerly Sparkle Dancer and allegedly Sir Hellacious of Hearts) is an anthropomorphic unicorn from the Radical Lands. In the timeline/universe of Dr. McNinja, he takes the form of a white motorcycle with rainbow trim, as he his true form is too magnificent to exist outside of his home dimension. However, after the Cumberland Mech fight, the world becomes sufficiently radical for him to take a lesser version of his true form. That is to say that he is not at his fully power and is far more magnificent, but at least he isn't a motorcycle. He has been described by King Radical as "Genghis Khan, Adolf Hitler, atomic bombs, and Seabiscuit all in one."
As he tells it, Sparkle Dancer was once an 'ordinary' unicorn who lived in a forest in the Radical Land. This changed when the Kingdom invaded his home, burned down the forest to "build a roller coaster or something" and twisted his shape to conform to what they considered 'cool'. An unknown amount of time later he was knighted "Sir Hellacious of Hearts", making him one of the four Radical Knights alongside Sir SickNasty of Spades, Sir Cowabunga of Clubs and Dame Dudical of Diamonds.
After the death of the previous King Radical, the four knights gathered in a ceremony to name the new King, by tradition chosen by the Radical Land itself. Sparkle Dancer clearly expected to become the new king and was outraged when the land chose Sir Sicknasty instead. Refusing to bow before the new king, he coldly announced that would kill Sir Sicknasty just as he had murdered the previous King Radical.
Sir SickNasty (now King Radical) immediately attacked Sparklelord with such fury and strength that both were sent hurtling through the wall of the tower where the ceremony had taken place. While grappling with the king in mid-air, Sparkle Dancer admitted to tapping the energy of the Radical Land, draining them of energy while becoming stronger himself. This new-found power became evident as he quickly overpowered King Radical and swatted Ron Wizard aside without any apparent effort. Still plummeting to the distant ground, he renounced his old name and proclaimed himself Sparklelord, and gloated that King Radical would be killed by the landing that he himself would walk away from. Fortunately for the new King, he was then caught by a helicopter-head ent (apparently under the command of Dame Dudical), leaving Sparklelord to crash into the ground alone. True to his word, he survived unharmed and immediately declared war on the Radical Lands.
The war itself seems to have been fought between the Radical folk and various magical creatures native to Sparklelord's forest, led by the mad unicorn himself. After many devastating battles, King Radical and Ron Wizard managed to trap Sparklelord and banish him into a time portal. Although this ended the war, the damage done to the Radical Land continued to spread, leaving its inhabitants to face a world increasingly devoid of radical energy. By the time the events of All the King's Dirtbikes and All the King's Men, the corruption has gotten so bad that bad pizza exists.
Chasing King Radical to Cumberland, his form reduced to a motorcycle, he began to possess his riders in the hopes that they would kill his hated enemy for him. Eventually he came across Dr. McNinja (who already disliked King Radical) and attempted to use him to kill King Radical. However, for once Dr. McNinja agreed with King Radical and decides to fling Sparklelord into the Time Portal, trapping him in a time loop.
Sparklelord takes the role of an Anti-Hero alongside the usual Omnicidal Maniac. He is summoned by Dr. McNinja and stops King Radical's plan to get the space Time Portal to Earth in exchange for Dr. McNinja's name. It doesn't work well as King Radical lives and a Ghost Wizard is let loose.

Coach Feature Fall Sports Girls Cross Country
Girls Cross Country Coach Keri Lambert Enforces A "Team Mindset"
Meg Stineman
Head Coach Keri Lambert Emphasizes Inclusivity and Steady Improvement in Girls Cross Country Team
Sports • Sep 23, 2022
Underclassmen Lead Girls Cross Country at Manchester Invitational
Girls Cross Country Beats St. Paul's Despite Unfamiliar Race Plan
Fall Sports • Oct 23, 2021
At one point, Head Coach Keri
Lambert was the national champion in the 3,000-meter steeplechase.
In her first season coaching, Girls Cross Country Head Coach Keri Lambert hopes to uphold teamwork and togetherness as the team's core value this year. Reflected in her actions as coach, the emphasis on collaboration and a team mindset can be seen through more group focused running strategies.
Lambert said, "The values that I hope runners take from cross country is just that real team mindset that requires everyone to work on behalf of their teammates, and to support their teammates, and build one another up, day in and day out, in order to really kind of savor the hard work that goes into this sport and to make the most of the training."
Lambert elaborated that her favorite aspect of cross country was the potential for team building. Rather than cross country being an individual sport, she stated that certain features of the sport encouraged unity and group effort.
"I would say that one of the things that I love most about cross country is that it turns what could be considered an individual's sport, mainly running, into a team sport, in so far how the meets are scored, and how workouts and training kind of take place. And I think that cross country really, in a really visceral way, kind of captures the nonsibi value actually, of the school," Lambert said.
Captain Natasha Muromcew '22 highlighted the efforts that Lambert has undertaken to create team bonding experiences not just within the training regimen but also outside of the sport. Muromcew also stated that these events helped teammates spend time with injured teammates who weren't able to participate in training.
Muromcew said, "Last Friday, she got us games and we had pumpkin carving contests. It was just really nice to be together as a team and a really low-stress situation where we could just hang out and not run, because a lot of our teammates are injured, so it's hard for us to be together. So she's very conscious of the team."
Not only does Lambert focus on runners' conditions while they run, she also focuses on building healthy habits and self-care practices after races. Post-running care is an emphasized aspect of cross-country training this season, according to Lambert.
"We've been focusing on self care and trying to develop better running habits: better biomechanical form, better post run and post workout recovery habits, in order to be well rounded, strong runners, ideally to help prevent injuries but also just to learn about what it takes to be a strong, healthy runner, not just in terms of like the hard work that we do at practice, but also things like fueling and sleeping and hydrating and stretching and rolling after workouts and things like that," Lambert noted.
Despite rough conditions, Lambert always pushes the team to adapt to different circumstances, encouraging moments of mindfulness. She helps the team to embrace any situation and to use those conditions to its advantage, according to Maya Tang '23.
"We were practicing in rainy and muddy conditions and she encouraged the team to not see that as a bad thing and to just continue to push ourselves even when it's hard. She'll have a few minutes of mindfulness and to visualize our race and its entities. Some excerpts like mind exercises are helpful to get through the really tough parts of the course because she has us think of a mantra and to repeat it," Tang said.
As the team heads into the end of the season and plans to host the elite championships, Lambert expressed her gratitude towards the team's resilience and strength. She further stated that the runners' work ethic and team spirit continued to inspire her.
"What I take from watching them do those workouts and support one another and cheer one another on is really just like a strong sense of inspiration. And this is just a special group that really savor all of the challenges that come with cross country. They aren't daunted by tough workouts or fast speeds. They're not daunted by cold weather… Just the way that they're able to spin what other athletes or students might see as major challenges into wonderful experiences that they support one another through is really inspiring. It's a great way to finish my day."


Mahalo for choosing to stay with us. We appreciate your feedback and are happy to hear you enjoyed the value and convenience of our property!
We are arriving on Thanksgiving. Will any restaurants be open around 6:40pm by the Hotel?
Check with the hotel desk (they are very helpful) - both about the affiliated restaurant next door and nearby places. There are several fast foot joints nearby (McD's, subway) that are likely open but that's probably not what you want for arriving in Hawaii on Thanksgiving. Since the hotel is right in downtown Kona most likely something will be open.
Is it walkable to restaurants?
Sbdolutrly, Splashers is in their backyard and has excellent food. Have the stuffed french toast, yummy!
Do your rooms have in-room safes available?
No in room safe but there are safes at the front desk free of charge.
do you have late check in?
Where do you park a car?
Aloha mobywile. We have a parking lot for guests of the hotel for $7.00 daily rate. We have security on property that will help direct you to the nearest available parking. Sometimes our lot does get filled up quickly during busy season, but we will direct you to park in a nearby public lot. Mahalo!

Commencement is finally (almost) here for a number of students. Nearly 10,000 students have toiled over the last few years to earn their degree and approval to walk in their respective commencement ceremonies. I was asked to learn some of their stories so we could show the local community — and places farther out —what our graduates have accomplished and where they are headed.
So, to that end, I've worked over the last two weeks compiling information on a number of graduates to write short biographies for SDSU News Center. Wow. From working to help stroke victims and kids suffering from cerebral palsy, to fighting against the bullying epidemic in schools, and the sincere hope from many of them to give back to their communities in a number of ways.
And that's just their character, without even mentioning the intelligence that these students have to be on the Dean's List continuously, being named Outstanding Graduates for their respective colleges and a number of other honors and accolades.
And these are just a handful of the many who are going on to do great things.
Commencement ceremonies may not happen until May, but for me they're right now.
Let me explain. I'm currently building a new commencement website. There is a great deal of information to organize and communicate and I am neck-deep in it all.
Commencement is the most important thing we do.
Much of the information is geared toward students, but families and friends are also included. Schedules and other critical instructions are sorted by college.
Commencement captures a feeling of momentous achievement for many graduates, illustrated by this SDSU graduate from 2011.
Believe it or not – if you have a twenty-something college student for a child, my guess is you believe it – some students don't know their college.
This prompted me to include on the site a list of majors and departments by college. I'm sure we'll still get those emails.
Cynicism aside, commencement is the most important thing we do. More important than the novel discoveries, innovative programs and community service, graduating students defines the value of San Diego State University.
I'm reviewing hundreds of photos from last year's commencement and I'm struck by the emotions captured in each snapshot – a mix of elation, pride, satisfaction.
A few knowing students look afraid, perhaps about entering the real world.
But most look happy. They leave campus with terrific memories, hard-earned achievements and the initiative to take on their next challenge.
