Bloggers Challenge ~Firestorm’s Cameratools Window~

I remember this Bloggers Challenge from a long time ago and thought I would share a trick I use on a regular basis. You do not need a separate camera hud to buy at all because Firestorm already has this feature.

[TASK 193: SIERRA LEONE]

There’s a masterlist below compiled of over 280+ Sierra Leonean faceclaims categorised by gender with their occupation and ethnicity denoted if there was a reliable source. If you want an extra challenge use random.org to pick a random number! Of course everything listed below are just suggestions and you can pick whichever faceclaim or whichever project you desire.

Any questions can be sent here and all tutorials have been linked below the cut for ease of access! REMEMBER to tag your resources with #TASKSWEEKLY and we will reblog them onto the main! This task can be tagged with whatever you want but if you want us to see it please be sure that our tag is the first five tags, @ mention us or send us a messaging linking us to your post!

THE TASK - scroll down for FC’s!

STEP 1: Decide on a FC you wish to create resources for! You can always do more than one but who are you starting with? There are links to masterlists you can use in order to find them and if you want help, just send us a message and we can pick one for you at random!

STEP 2: Pick what you want to create! You can obviously do more than one thing, but what do you want to start off with? Screencaps, RP icons, GIF packs, masterlists, PNG’s, fancasts, alternative FC’s - LITERALLY anything you desire!

STEP 3: Look back on tasks that we have created previously for tutorials on the thing you are creating unless you have whatever it is you are doing mastered - then of course feel free to just get on and do it. :)

STEP 4: Upload and tag with #TASKSWEEKLY! If you didn’t use your own screencaps/images make sure to credit where you got them from as we will not reblog packs which do not credit caps or original gifs from the original maker.

THINGS YOU CAN MAKE FOR THIS TASK -  examples are linked!

Stumped for ideas? Maybe make a masterlist or graphic of your favourite faceclaims. A masterlist of names. Plot ideas or screencaps from a music video preformed by an artist. Masterlist of quotes and lyrics that can be used for starters, thread titles or tags. Guides on culture and customs.

Dragon Ball Super Rap Cypher | "Tournament Of Power" | Daddyphatsnaps ft Rustage, Fabvl, NLJ & More! 

[lyrics]:-

Vegeta (Shwabadi):-

Aah! It's the warrior, formerly known as the prince of Saiyans I'm done playing Galick Gun, you gon' really see purple raining I've been training hyperbolic, the muscle mass that I'm gaining It's in no way hyperbolic when I say I'll crush your face in Erasing entire nations, but I joined the crew Kakarot is on my spot, I got a point to prove I put beams to Beans like I destroy Senzu My finger's like a cannon, I just point and shoot yuh Piccolo (Sl!ck):-

Audit: Costs, Delays Build for Boeing’s NASA Rocket, Capsule

NASA’s flagship space launch system being built by Boeing is taking years longer than expected with cost overruns of nearly $2 billion, an audit found Wednesday, raising questions about meeting a goal of returning humans to the moon by 2024.

The General Accounting Office (GAO) identified $1.8 billion in cost overruns, including $800 million that NASA obscured in previous reports on its Space Launch System (SLS), the rocket and capsule that will eventually take humans back to the moon.

The issues around the rocket’s development, led by Boeing Co, mean that the first launch of the SLS originally scheduled for late 2017 could be delayed until June 2021.

Boeing’s space division restructured the SLS leadership team in 2018 and early 2019 to adjust to the program challenges and simplified its manufacturing process, Boeing spokesman Jerry Drelling said.

“No one is building a rocket like this, and we’re creating a very in-depth database for all future rockets,” he said.

The Trump administration directed NASA in March to land humans on the lunar surface by 2024, part of a broader program called Artemis that will use the moon as a staging ground for eventual missions to Mars.

The accelerated timeline, four years faster than originally planned, is likely to cost $20 billion to $30 billion over the next five years, NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine said in an interview with CNN last week.

Shifting costs

The $1.8 billion cost overrun was nearly double what NASA reported to its inspector general in 2018 for SLS and the Orion capsule — the crew pod built by Lockheed Martin that will launch atop the rocket — the report said.

“NASA’s reporting of cost data for the SLS and Orion programs is not fully transparent,” it said.

NASA obscured the full cost growth of the SLS program by shifting roughly $800 million to future SLS missions to downplay the cost of the initial mission, the GAO report said.

Officials from NASA and Boeing also underestimated the manufacturing complexity of the “core stage” of four attached rocket engines, which could increase the cost and cause delays of two years or more, the report said.

Cost overruns, award fees

Despite the cost overruns, NASA has awarded Boeing at least $146 million and Lockheed $87 million in “award fees” to stay on schedule, but “the programs have not always achieved overall desired outcomes,” the report said. The space agency agreed to the report’s recommendation to re-evaluate its incentive system.

NASA’s associate administrator for human spaceflight and operations, William Gerstenmaier, said in a response to the GAO’s report that the audit “does not acknowledge NASA is constructing some of the most sophisticated hardware ever built.” A NASA spokeswoman declined further comment.

NASA Administrator: Artemis Could Revisit Apollo Moon Sites

NASA is still working to get the Space Launch System (SLS) ready to fly on its first demo flight, but the first real SLS mission will be to send humans back to the moon. NASA administrator Jim Bridenstine has suggested that NASA may reevaluate its proposed landing zone for the Artemis moon mission. Rather than heading to the south pole, the mission might pay a visit to Apollo sites from the 60s and 70s. 

During a recent web broadcast from the Lunar Exploration Analysis Group (LEAG), Bridenstine discussed the agency’s latest plans for Artemis. Officially, the mission is still planned for a polar landing. However, Bridenstine mused on the possibility of an equatorial mission. That is, of course, the region in which all the Apollo missions landed. It’s easier to land in that region as spacecraft’s don’t need to burn fuel to enter a polar orbit before touching down. 

NASA decided on the polar landing because there’s a lot of science you can do there. The added difficulty of that mission could lead to changes, according to Bridenstine. Revisiting the Apollo sites might be a good alternative in the event NASA determines the south pole landing is too challenging fo Artemis 3, which is set to be the first crewed landing of the program. “There could be scientific discoveries there and, of course, just the inspiration of going back to an original Apollo site would be pretty amazing as well,” Bridenstine said. 

What the SLS will look like upon completion.

Bridenstine clarified that NASA hasn’t made any decisions about delaying its polar landing, but it’s interesting he’d bring up this possibility. NASA officials have since noted that the priority is still to identify a polar landing site. 

The Artemis program will kick off with an uncrewed demo launch in 2021. This will be the first flight for the SLS, which has been in development for almost a decade at a cost of $18.6 billion. NASA expects to spend about $2 billion on each launch because the rocket is not reusable. The Orion command module is further along in development, having already completed some flight testing. There’s even talk of using commercial rockets with Orion if the SLS isn’t ready in time. Perhaps SLS delays have something to do with Bridenstine’s promotion of an equatorial landing.

For recovered coronavirus patients, pain and anxiety are constant partners; doctors grapple with long-term impacts of disease

Anand* has been unable to sit ever since he was discharged from a Delhi hospital last month after testing positive for coronavirus. The body pain is so bad that he has trouble sitting for more than a few minutes at a stretch. “I prefer walking around the house or lying down in bed. That's how I complete my college assignments,” said Anand, who is in the middle of finishing a MA programme at a university abroad.

The second time we speak, however, he wonders whether the pain is psychological. “I don’t know but my friend, who also tested positive, said that he is feeling breathless. My doctor told me that the body will heal on its own but what if he’s saying that just to pacify me?”

This time round, Anand also appears to be a bit on edge. He has to turn in an assignment, which is making him ‘restless’. At one point, the 24-year-old despairingly talks about how his life was poised to take off when the crisis changed his life. “I was about to start my career,” he said. “But now everything has changed.”

Everything, including friendships. Anand recalls a conversation he had with a friend from university who also tested positive. “Before travelling to India, he’d borrowed a mask from me and I’d given him a fresh mask from the packet. When he tested positive, he asked me whether I had actually given him a used mask. Why would I do that?”

Understanding the long-term effects of coronavirus

‘Uncertainty’ is a word that crops up often in conversations with recovered patients. Uncertainty about life, the economy, jobs, yes, but also about the virus itself which healthcare workers all over the world are trying to decode and defeat. And now with reports of relapses, one patient, requesting anonymity, described it as being stuck in a humourless game of Snakes and Ladders.

Currently, only very limited data on the long-term effects of the virus on patients is available. “This is a brand new virus which we have known for less than four months so it would be presumptuous of anyone to say ‘I know what’s happening exactly,” said Dr Om Shrivastav, director, Infectious Diseases, Jaslok Hospital and Research Centre. “But you observe the patterns, devise a strategy and decide what you want to do in the case of COVID-19 patients.”

He explained that a few patients from around the world, post recovery, have complained of mild skin changes, a compromised sense of taste and smell, a burning sensation in the hands and feet and sometimes, something more severe like a headache.

“The infection involves every organ. Even mild diarrhea could linger for several weeks after they have been discharged.” It finally boils down to the patient’s immune response to a particular infection.

“If you have a balanced immune system, you will recover quickly…  by and large as long as you have the patients’ metabolism sorted out, most of their parameters will return to normal,” he added.

Dr Kirti Sabnis, Infectious Disease Specialist and HIV physician, Fortis Hospital, Mulund, added that she has noticed complaints of a persistent cough and muscle pain only among recovered patients who were once in a critical stage.

“Older patients with co-morbidities who were in a serious critical state could continue to experience tiredness, breathing difficulties or some lung damage which will stay up to 15 to 20 days after discharge. But after that, they will fully recover. Everyone else with strong immunity should make a full recovery,” she added.

Days and nights of anxiety

Akhil Ennamsetty, 24, is in the thick of things. He was recently in the news for co-founding an initiative to help students with questions about COVID-19 among other things and had also formed a WhatsApp group for COVID-19 patients while under isolation at the hospital.

He described how he struck up friendships with other patients as they all stood by their respective doors whenever their rooms were cleaned. “We spoke to each other through our hazmat suits,” he remembered.

Ennamsetty, who also studies abroad but is now in Warangal, said he opted to get tested at Gandhi Medical College and Hospital straight from the airport and later checked himself in when he tested positive for coronavirus.

“At the hospital, patients who were fine in the morning died at night right in front of me. It’s spine-chilling to think that they died from the same virus that you are trying to recover from,” he said.

Now, with new relapse cases, Ennamsetty said a few recovered patients have completely stopped taking calls. Anand, who has been inundated with concerned relatives’ calls, agreed that it gets irritating after a point. “They ask me how I am feeling, when I am not sure myself. A friend’s quarantine period ended yesterday but he asked me whether he should stay in in case there is a relapse. My parents are extremely anxious too. They avoid the news, but a WhatsApp message is enough to leave them worried,” he added.

Anand also has some trouble sleeping well. “I don’t know whether it’s because I am yet to get used to Indian time, but I sleep at 3 am and wake up by 8 am. I am unable to sleep for more than five hours.”

Harish Kanjani, 55, faces a similar issue: “Just two days ago I woke up at 3 am and started feeling anxious. I felt breathless and wondered whether I have symptoms. I felt apprehensive about my health and how much damage the virus has done to my body. I chanted, walked around the house and thought of waking up my wife. But then I convinced myself that I am being ridiculous and went back to sleep. I called my doctor the next day and he assured me that since I have no symptoms I need not worry.”

The Mumbai-based real estate consultant recalls panicking for half an hour after receiving an email from the testing centre which confirmed that he tested positive for coronavirus. “My wife was right next to me, so I asked her to leave the room immediately and then spoke to her via phone about what to do next,” he said. Kanjani checked into SL Raheja Hospital soon after.

Kanjani was finally able to step out of his room last week but the crisis continues with his 86-year-old mother testing positive as well. “She is finally back home and is still under quarantine. She cannot bend because of knee issues so I can’t leave the food on a table outside,” he said. So as the only one cleared by doctors to enter her room (due to his antibodies), Kanjani enters her room, mask and gloves firmly in place, and helps her. “Then I dispose of the mask and gloves and take a wash. She is weak now as she was in the ICU for nearly 16 days. She had pneumonia, but her parameters got better and she recovered.” Yet, it is a challenging time.

Coping and moving on

Dr Anjali Chhabria, a psychiatrist who has been counseling COVID-19 patients from all over the world, pointed out that COVID-19 patients with preexisting anxiety and other mental health issues are trapped in a vicious circle with anxiety aggravating physical symptoms of the infection, which leads to more anxiety.

“But even otherwise, in coronavirus patients who have no psychiatric issues, anxiety and fear are at its peak because of the ambiguity. I know of people who have written their wills in the last month,” she said. “Patients tend to overthink and overanalyse. Some want to get tested even though they are okay, and begin to imagine that they are feeling feverish, constipated and so on.”

Kanjani, who has grappled with anxiety for years, said he pushed himself to remain positive and that during his own quarantine period at home, he prayed, meditated, did yoga, and layed Housie online. “At the hospital, there was a lot of positivity around, everyone from the doctors, nurses to the housekeeping staff kept me motivated. But I got scared whenever my soundproof door opened as noises from the ward would pour in. I completely stopped reading the paper as I knew I will go into a spiral.”

Ennamsetty, who tested negative in the relapse tests, has coped by concentrating on college assignments. Anand, on the other hand, experiments with cooking and has returned to an old hobby: sketching. “I can do it comfortably while lying down and even used to do it at the hospital. It relaxes me,” he said. Like the rest of the world, he too watches Netflix, and motivational clips. “It’s an escape mechanism. But what else can you do when you are so helpless?”

“Right now everyone is very scared and worried,” he continued. “But hopefully one day, I will be able to look back at this time and have some stories to tell my grandchildren.”

MR SL ♛ USA 2020, Chase Parthicus – First Photo Challenge

Music: youtu.be/Ajz_vxo1fjA

Runway look description: For MR SL ♛ USA, Halloween doesn’t end in October even if Christmas is just around the corner. Which makes it perfect now for him to portray both holidays as Krampus the Christmas Demon! Krampus is an ancient pre-Christian folk story of an evil half-goat beast dressed as Santa who eats naughty children in Santa’s list & drags their souls to Hell! Krampus has been a prominent figure in American culture eversince the first European pilgrims settled in Massachusetts, where annual Krampus festivals are held every December 5th. Krampus is fascinating because although often depicted as pure evil, he was once a kind & devout Pagan servant & son of “Hel”, goddess of the Underworld. But he despised his dark mother & envied Saint Nicholas who was able to bring joy to all children. In retaliation, he dressed in disguise as Santa to take part in the joyous Christmas festivities. But once discovered, he was cursed by his mother as a hideous creature to serve the Underworld for eternity!

——————

For this photo challenge, I wanted to think out of the box. Or in this case, out of the book. Because although Krampus has recently made its way to Hollywood cinema, it is an age-old tale written centuries ago. So I took inspiration from a haunted children’s pop-up story book, which also has a fashion rendition by American designer brand Neiman Marcus. For the execution of the photo, I created a custom backdrop of a book, library and all the 2-dimensional “pop-up” props you see. All of this along with myself were then photographed and post-edited in harmony to capture the essence, darkness and most importantly the weird & loony “kookiness” of Krampus. And no horrific Christmas tree is complete without a horrific angel atop it, thanks to my buddy Noah for giving his big bro a helping zombie hand!
