[maylegacy-sims4]

As soon as Esmeralda and La'ei returned from their wedding, they had a science baby... and it was twins and they're both werewolves even though Esmeralda is just a dormant wolf.

The house was too big to care for the babies because I swear babies are harder than they were before and the sims just pause for long amounts of time and don't complete tasks or sims put the baby down and then someone else comes over and picks it up, so annoying, so I redid the house again. I made a room with a patio and an ensuite bathroom that I locked and made the toddler/infant area and that mostly worked.

The twins are both boys and their names are Yuri and Aleksandr.

The twins aged up to toddlers and they science baby'd again and they had another son, named Georgy. Georgy is genderfluid (I decided on that because when he aged up to a toddler he had a CC hair that was pigtails)

Then they were running out of space in the household, so I increased the household size and they had another science baby, this time the Legacy Heir and named her Valentina. I had Jasper move in with the Volkov's so he could be with other werewolves (because I almost deleted Georgy when I went into the CAS mode because of the household size cheat) and plus Jasper kept getting very destructive.

I knocked Valentina's milestones out of the park. She got top notch infant but she didn't end up getting top notch toddler which I think is pretty wild because she was attended to constantly.

This is the first time I've gotten the Loves Books toddler quirk and I love it so much.

Here's toddler Valentina

La'ei took the kids to an arcade-y restaurant after Kya died

The kids are all named after Russian Cosmonauts because Esmeralda is an astronaut and I went with the Russians because they were the first humans in space and the first woman in space was Russian, Yuri Gagarin was the first human in space and the other boys are named for Aleksandr Skvortsov and Georgy Beregovoy which I just chose because I liked the names and the spellings (though I have a few regrets that I didn't use Konstantin Feoktistov)

Valentina Tereshkova was the first woman in space - I toyed with the idea of making Valentina's name Laika instead for the dog Laika who went up to space but I went with Valentina. However, Esmeralda got dog lover as her randomized trait when she aged to a child and I think that's a perfect reason to adopt a dog and name it Laika...

1 and 6 for the space ask!

1 - fave astronaut(s)

Astronauts: Sally Ride, Mae Jemison

(Honourable mention to Ilan Ramon, may his memory be a blessing)

Cosmonauts: Konstantin Feoktistov, Yuri Gagarin, Valentina Tereshkova (even if she's super problematic)

6 - mission you wish you could go on (and what role you’d play)

Well, if we look at the existence of the ISS as one big mission, I wish I could visit the ISS before the de-commission it in a few years. My role would probably be something like "payload specialist", but specifically, with my physics bachelor's and master's degrees, I would be well suited to performing the experiments that they do on the ISS. I could probably also do some language and translation work on the ISS given my high-level Russian.

Of course, they would never send me to the ISS because I have some health problems that would disqualify me from becoming an astronaut (and perhaps going up at all). I'm not a millionaire who could pay for my own ticket if by some miracle I was allowed to go up, either.

[gusgrissom]

How should Dave [Scott] and I treat Colonel Pavel Belyaev and Mr. Konstantin Feoktistov, products of a hostile system, yet comrades in a sense Marx never envisioned? We decided to be as friendly and open as possible. Soon the four of us were seated around a table, chatting amiably through an interpreter and chugalugging vodka. They inquired as to the health of the Grissom-White-Chaffee wives, and we responded with similar concern for the widow Komarov. We drank toasts to no more space accidents, we drank toasts to increased cooperation between our two nations, and we drank toasts to a couple of other things that slip my mind.

Vintage pin commemorating 20 years of the flight of Voskhod spacecraft in 1964. Voskhod was the first ever multi-person spacecraft (3 cosmonauts). The pin features three cosmonauts who were the team of Voskhod: Vladimir Komarov, Konstantin Feoktistov, Boris Yegorov. (buy here)

[la-cosmonauta-extraterrestre]

Top 5 cosmonauts?

In no order other than alphabetical because I’m indecisive:

1. Konstantin Feoktistov

Interesting how he worked as an engineer and then became a cosmonaut due to an initiative to make engineers into cosmonauts.

2. Yuri Gagarin

First in space. Deserved better. Has a lot of cool songs about him.

3. Svetlana Savitskaya

I’ve read about her and she was a real badass.

4. Valentina Tereshkova

Hope she gets what she deserves...which is to go to Mars.

5. Gherman Titov

The often-overlooked second in space. They considered sending him first, but decided not due due to his suspiciously bourgeois hairstyle, and that turned out for the better because he wasn’t charismatic like Gagarin.

[un-ionizetheradlab]

A NEW ERA : Russia NT gets ready for the World League

The Russian National Volleyball new coaching staff team has released the expanded list of 21 players for the 2017 FIVB World League.  Russia NT coach once stated that the team that he picked will be “rejuvenated”. Lots of young players combined with the experienced ones. And it is, just as advertised.  Here’s the 21 players list:

Setter : Sergey Antipkin (Dinamo Moskva) Dmitriy Kovalev (Ural Ufa) Pavel Pankov (Kuzbass Kemerovo)

Opposite : Konstantin Bakun (Dinamo Moskva) Maxim Zhigalov (Belogorie Belgorod) Aleksandr Kimerov (Fakel Novy Urengoy) Aleksandr Chefranov (Gazprom Yugra Surgut)

Middle Blocker : Ilya Vlasov (Fakel Novy Urengoy) Vadim Likhosherstov (Fakel Novy Urengoy) Ilyas Kurkaev (Lokomotiv Novosibirsk) Igor Filippov (Dinamo Moskva) Dmitriy Shcherbinin (Dinamo Moskva)

Outside Hitter : Denis Biryukov (Dinamo Moskva) Dmitriy Ilinykh (Dinamo Moskva) Dmitriy Volkov (Fakel Novy Urengoy) Egor Kliuka (Fakel Novy Urengoy) Egor Feoktistov (Ural Ufa) Alexey Spiridonov (Yeniset Krasnoyarsk)

Libero : Artem Zelenkov (Dinamo LO) Valentin Krotkov (Zenit Kazan) Roman Martynyuk (Belogorie Belgorod)

Coach : Sergey Shlyapnikov Source : Volley.ru

Now while I’m still baffled at some of the names here, I get his point to pick some guys who aren’t used to be on the list before. And after the last Olympics, Russia NT might want to look somewhere new — in Shlyapnikov’s word — to rejuvenate themselves. Well at least this is only for WL and not the EuroVolley. Anyway, good luck to the new coaching staff. Here’s wishing for a good run in the World League and hope these guys would have some fun.

Em 1964, Voskhod 1 tornou-se a primeira nave tripulada por mais de uma pessoa. Abordo estavam o piloto Vladimir Mikhaylovich Komarov, o engenheiro Konstantin Petrovich Feoktistov e o médico Boris Borisovich Yegorov. Eles foram os primeiros engenheiro e médico no espaço.
