#April the 12th 1961

[dig1taldrift3r]

12 апреля 2023-го года. Говорят, из-за модификации элит, которая происходит под влиянием конвульсий современной культуры и традиций - как мне представляется - наблюдается деградация общества. Повсеместно. Ну, да, согласен. Сложный, но необратимый процесс в нынешней парадигме существования. Жду, когда меня постигнет сия кара, ибо ваш покорный слуга застал разные времена, и даже жил в эпоху, когда женщины были злы и красивы, а мужчины были наивны и преисполнены ��лупых надежд. :-)  Размышляю. Готовлюсь. А пока, только закат\взморье\гравитация и.... 108 минут нашей легенды и героя! :-) С Днём Космонавтики, компадрес! Помним 12 апреля 1961-ого года. p.s. Вот вам обложка журнала “Костёр”, компадрес, и тематический арт. Что-то похожее рисовал когда-то прославленный художник-фантаст Андрей Соколов. Как же много в нашей великой стране талантов, ИисусМарияИосиф! Vamos!

[lookingforhappy]

Noticed that Elliott has the arrival dates of Luther (3rd event), April 10th 1962, and Allison (2nd event), June 29th 1961, pinned to his wall, and figured I might as well try and calculate how old everyone is..

(Elliott's date for Diego is wrong, placing him at Sep 17th, when he arrived on Sep 1st.)

These are not perfect dates but they should be fairly close? and I'm not very good at maths so please correct me!

Hargreeves' ages in age order:

Five

Disappears at 13 yr, 1 mo, and 9 days old.

His new birthday in the apocalypse is now: 22nd February

+ 45 years in the apocalypse + an unknown amount of time in the commission makes him at least 58 yr, 1 mo, and 9 days old at the start of s1.

+ 8 days in s1 makes him at least 58 yr, 1 mo, and 17 days old at the start of s2.

+ 8 days in s2 makes him at least 58 yr, 1 mo, and 25 days old at the start of s3.

+ 7 days in s3 makes him at least 58 yr, 2 mo, and 2 days old at the end of s3.

From s1 - s3 he has aged 23 days.

Using this estimate (his minimum age) Five's new birthday in the reset universe might be: 5th February

Klaus

Travels to Vietnam at 29 yr, 5 mo, and 26 days old.

(Klaus leaves Vietnam on February 21st, supposedly arriving in Vietnam on April 21st) His new birthday in Vietnam is now: 25th October

+ 10 months in Vietnam makes him 30 yr, 3 mo, and 26 days old when he returns to March 28th 2019.

+ 3 days to finish s1 makes him 30 yr, 3 mo, 29 days old at the end of s1.

(Klaus arrives in Dallas on February 11th) His new birthday in Dallas is now: 12th October

+3 yr, 9 mo, and 4 days in the 60s makes him 34 yrs, 1 mo, 3 days old at the start of s2.

+ 8 days in s2 makes him 34 yrs, 1 mo, 11 days old at the start of s3.

+ 7 days in s3 makes him 34 yrs, 1 mo, 18 days old at the end of s3.

His new birthday in the reset universe is now: 20th February

(She arrives in Dallas on June 29th) Her new birthday in Dallas is now: 29th December

+ 2 yr, 4 mo, 17 days in the 60s makes her 31 yr, 10 mo, and 17 days old at the start of s2.

+ 8 days in s2 makes her 31 yr, 10 mo, 25 days old at the start of s3.

+ 7 days in s3 makes her 31 yr, 11 mo, 2 days old at the end of s3.

Her new birthday in the reset universe is now: 6th May

Luther

Luther is 29 yr, 6 mo old at the end of s1.

(He arrives in Dallas on April 10th) His new birthday in Dallas is now: 10th October

+ 1 yr, 7 mo, 5 days in the 60s makes him 31 yr, 1 mo, 5 days old at the start of s2.

+ 8 days in s2 makes him 31 yr, 1 mo, 13 days old at the start of s3.

+ 7 days in s3 makes him 31 yr, 1 mo, 20 days old at the end of s3.

His new birthday in the reset universe is now: 18th February

Diego

Diego is 29 yr, 6 mo old at the end of s1.

+ 2 mo, 14 days in the 60s (2 mo, 5 days in the asylum) makes him 29 yr, 8 mo, 14 days old at the beginning of s2.

+ 7 days in s3 makes him 29 yr, 7 mo, 18 days old at the end of s3.

His new birthday in the reset universe is now: 20th August

Lila

her age is completely unknown. we can guess she's around the same age as the umbrellas but otherwise she's a mystery.

Ritu Arya, her actress, was 32 in 2020 when s2 was released so that's as close to canon as we know right now, (except, the majority of the cast are older than their on screen counterparts, except for David who was actually born in 1989 and Aidan in s1 as he was 13 when he was cast).

The only other information we have on her age is that she was orphaned and kidnapped at 4. and that she spent 3 months in Berlin between s2 and s3.

Sparrows

All of the Sparrows are 29 yrs, 6 mo, 1 day old at the start of s3:

Marcus dies at 29 yrs, 6 mo, 1 day old.

Jayme and Alphonso die at 29 yrs, 6 mo, 3 days old.

Fei and Chris die at 29 yrs, 6 mo, 6 days old.

Sloane goes missing at 29 yrs, 6 mo, 7 days old.

Sparrow Ben enters the reset universe at 29 yrs, 6 mo, 7 days old.

Ben and Sloane's birthday's remain as October 1st

i think? please do correct me if im wrong!

tua s4 speculation under the cut

if s4 is 6 years on then the ages we have are:

Five is 64 in a 19yro body

Klaus is 40

Allison is 38

Luther is 37

Diego is 36

Viktor is 36

Ben is 36

Lila and Diego's kid is probably turning 6 yro.

Claire could be anywhere between 17 and 13 since she seems to be a teenager?

Man Enters Space - April 12th, 1996.

"Sixty three years ago today, Soviet cosmonaut Yuri Alexseyevich Gagarin became the first human in space. On April 12th, 1961, his remotely controlled Vostok 1 spacecraft lofted him to an altitude of 200 miles, and carried him once around planet Earth. Strictly a passenger, his onboard controls were locked out by a secret combination - in case of an emergency he carried the combination in a sealed envelope. After reentry, Gagarin ejected from the Vostok at an altitude of 20,000 feet and parachuted to Earth. How was the first view from space? He reportedly commented, "The sky is very dark; the Earth is bluish. Everything is seen very clearly". Coupled with other spacefaring accomplishments, this flight seemed to confirm Soviet technological superiority - the first US astronaut would not be launched until almost a month later and then on a comparatively short suborbital flight. Born on March 9th, 1934, Gagarin was an air force jet pilot before being chosen for the first group of cosmonauts in 1960. As a result of his historic flight, he became an international hero and legend. Killed when his MIG jet crashed during a training flight on March 27th, 1968, Gagarin was given a hero's funeral, his ashes interred in the Kremlin Wall."

~ Family ~

Mother: Jeanette “Jeanie” Carr

Jeanie Carr, an American aspiring journalist, spent the summer after her college graduation in London, hoping to expand her horizons. While there, she explored museums, concerts and met Thomas Jenkins. The pair fell hopelessly in love. Jeanie learned of Thomas’s magical heritage after their wedding, only 6 months after meeting. Needless to say, Jeanie stayed in London for much longer than just a summer. Twelve years, actually. Until, she received an offer of Editor-at-Large for Vogue. Thomas refused to follow her, adamant that their three children attend his alma aater. The pair separated, and divorced officially a year later. The custody agreement dictated that the three Jenkins children would spend at school in England and spend summer holidays with their mother. Jeanie visits for Christmas every year.

Father: Thomas Jenkins

The owner of an apothecary in Diagon Alley, Thomas Jenkins met Jeanie Carr four years after his graduation from Hogwarts. For him, it was love at first sight. However, it wouldn’t last. Adamant that their four children attend Hogwarts, Thomas refused to make the move across the pond to America with Jeanie. This culminated in their divorce. Thomas has the children Christmas and Easter break.

Eldest Brother: Thomas Jr. “Tommy” Jenkins

The eldest of the Jenkins children, Tommy was the first to attend Hogwarts. He was sorted into Hufflepuff. There, he met Ruth Cole, a Ravenclaw. Initially a harsh rivalry, By the time their 6th year rolled around, the pair were hopelessly smitten for each other and married the summer after their graduation. They have two children, Lorelai and Carter. Tommy took over his father apothecary in Diagon Alley.

Older Brother: Edward “Ed” Jenkins

Ed Jenkins, the first Gryffindor in the family, marked the beginning of a trend for the Jenkins children. Often the leader of their little gang, Ed became an Auror after his time at Hogwarts. He was killed in 1980 while fighting against a group of Death Eaters.

Older Sister: Wilhelmina “Billie” Jenkins

Hardly a year apart, Billie and Rose were always close. Really, the two were inseparable, Rose regards the year before she was allowed to go to Hogwarts as the worst of her life. During their time at Hogwarts, the Jenkins sisters were the social butterflies of Gryffindor house, with Billie’s bright-eyed, blunt charm, and Rosie’s upbeat and friendly personality, they were well-liked by most and befriended by many.

~ Personality & Traits ~

Personality: Despite her sweet-as-sugar demeanour, Rosie has a temper to match the Jenkins reputation and the knife-sharp tongue to wield it. However, she doesn’t anger easily. Rosie is usually very friendly and kind, always open to new people and experiences. She’s usually the one to smooth over arguments between her sister and other students. Rosie is naturally extroverted and dislikes being alone. She is very persistent and stubborn, to an infuriating degree. Rosie is very charismatic and lovable, with a particular talent for charming adults and older people.

~ Relationships ~

Love Interest(s):

Mary MacDonald

Mary MacDonald was the kind of girl who was easy to fall in love with. With her easy charm, brash and outgoing personality and beauty, it’s no wonder she was Rosalie’s first love. Short and sweet, they decided to be just friends after only a few months.

Regulus Black

Rosalie met Regulus on the astronomy tower. She’d known him, of course. But she’d never really talked to him before. The Astronomy tower was her refuge, she’d go up to calm down and maybe have a smoke or just look at the stars. So imagine her shock and horror at finding Regulus Black in her normally undisturbed space. Somehow, the two ended up having a surprisingly civil and insightful conversation. They continued to meet at the Astronomy Tower, by coincidence or not, Rosalie could not be sure. Little by little, Rosalie began to consider Regulus a friend. They even tiptoed towards something more, when Regulus pulled away. All attempts to contact him were met with roadblocks, and Rosalie was left confused and heartbroken. Perhaps in a last ditch effort, or some final goodbye, Rosalie did something rather foolish. She told Regulus the address of her cottage in Ansty. Honestly, she never really expected anything from it but on December 21, 1979, Regulus Black appeared in her living room, half drowned and soaking wet, accompanied by a house elf. Rosalie fixed him up, and with a little back and forth with Auror Moody and other members of the Order, it was decided he would stay with her. It was….tumultuous to say the least. They fought, and talked and fought more and began to fall back in love. And the rest is history, I suppose.

Best Friend: Billie Jenkins/Maeve Leigh

~ Misc. & Notes ~

In her first year, she made a habit of sharking the upperclassmen at cards and winning cigarettes, money, sweets and even the occasional favour. Once they wised up, no one would play with her.

Rosalie used to read her brother’s old textbooks when they got them to get ahead in school.

She became quidditch commentator in her 4th year.

She’s always been a bit of a crybaby, and cries at nearly everything.

Following her graduation, Rosalie accepted a spot as a Healer-in-Training at St. Mungo’s.

Her favourite holiday is Halloween. Every year, she and Billie do matching costumes and throw a massive party in the Gryffindor common room.

She has shit handwriting. It’s scribbly and hardly anyone can decipher it.

During her 6th and 7th years, Rosie interned with Madam Pomfrey in the infirmary. She helped with minor afflictions and injuries.

She has a small scar on her left leg from tripping and falling onto a rusty nail. She had to get 6 stitches and a tetanus shot.

On This Day In History

April 12th, 1961: Yuri Gagarin becomes the first man to complete an orbit of Earth from space, a major milestone in the Space Race.

[kamryn1963]

Chicago PD Fanfic: Al, Hank & Trudy

Summary: Every year Trudy's forced to listen to Hank and Alvin's longest ongoing debate.

Notes: This is based solely on the fact that Jason Beghe birthday is March 12th, 1960 and Elias Koteas is March 11th, 1961. While Amy Morton's birthday is April 3rd, 1959.

Meaning she's the oldest and Al the youngest. So what if those birthdays and age order, was the same for the characters? So here it is lol, and Al being a shit for 378 words.

For @andgry4 and @chicago-pd-is-weird A short thing but I said I'd write that scene haha.

Like most things in Trudy’s life, her friends had been able to turn it into something bigger. God why couldn’t Trudy find some friends who shared more than one brain cell between them? Was that too much to ask?

Hank and Alvin’s biggest ongoing debate, or technicality, was always worse today. That was because today was Alvin’s birthday. Tomorrow was Hank’s. A year apart. Well 364 days technically. Like Alvin liked to constantly remind people. 

“I can’t believe you're 50 already, Alvin. You're getting old”. Trudy teased, unable to resist the opportunity. 

They were all at Hank’s, gathered in his living room with beers and a cake Trudy had brought over, between them. They had been out for dinner earlier to celebrate both Hank and Alvin's birthdays and had come here after. 

“You're older than me”. Alvin protested sticking his tongue out childishly at Trudy before turning towards Hank with a smirk, that had never bought anything good before. 

“See now I’m exactly as old as you are”. Alvin stated. He made this point every year. Hank always said he was a year older when that wasn’t true and Alvin liked proving Hank wrong whenever the opportunity presented itself. 

“Yeah…for three more hours, Olinsky. I’m still older”. Hank replied matter of factly and Trudy let out a deep sigh as she sipped her beer and leaned back to watch the show unfolding in front of her. 

“But today we are the same age. Because I’m not a year younger than you are”. Alvin responded, still smirking. 

“I’m born March 12th, 62 and you're March 11th, 63. That’s practically a year. And, I was born in the early morning and you late at night. What do you want me to say, that I’m 364 days and twenty hours older than you?” Hank asked sarcastically. 

“Just saying that it’s not a year”. 

“You're ridiculous”. Hank said back with a roll of his eyes as he grabbed Alvin, putting him in a headlock. 

Trudy just watched rolling her eyes, but she couldn’t help but watch with a fond expression as Alvin tried to get out of Hank’s hold while Hank continued to tease him. Like it or not these morons were her brothers and apparently Trudy was stuck with them.

i'm pretty sure april 12th has nothing to do with americans in space. i'm also pretty sure it wasn't an american who was the first human that went to space, you know, today, on april 12th 1961

[lookingforhappy]

trying to figure out if there was a pattern to the dates the Hargreeves arrived in the 60s or if it was just random

my theory was originally that they arrived in a staggered pattern, with the date between arrivals slowly getting closer and closer together. but that's pretty much proved wrong:

Klaus arrives on 11th February 1960

504 days pass

Allison is next and she arrives on 29th June 1961

285 days pass

Luther arrives on 10th April 1962

509 days pass

Diego arrives on 1st September 1963

41 days pass

Viktor arrives on 12th October 1963

44 days pass

Five arrives on 25th November 1963

so there's not a big pattern here but there are several repeated numbers namely 500 and 40. so it seems that Five's powers for whatever reason dropped from a 500 day gap to a 40 day gap.

and for some reason luther is an anomaly that arrives too early in the pattern, creating that outlying 200.

I'm not good with maths so I can't say much more than that. If someone else can pls tell me ur thoughts

My theory as to the order they arrive in has also been squashed - I thought they might have arrived in order of distance from Five,

by that logic Klaus, Luther and Viktor should have been the first three to arrive, with Allison and Diego arriving next and then Five last.

there is some correlation with this theory, as Five is the last and Klaus is the first to arrive and Diego is one of the later arrivals, but Viktor, Luther and Allison are out of order.

[proustianlesbian]

did you know the first black person in space was an african-cuban man named arnaldo tamayo méndez ? a little post on him and his achievements for black history month since space exploration is my special interest and i think he should be more known !

Arnaldo Tamayo Méndez was born on the 29th of January 1942 in Guantánamo, into a humble Afro-Cuban family. He began to work from a very young age, becoming the only breadwinner for his family at the age of 13, while studying at the same time. He worked as a shoeshiner, a carpenter's assistant and a newspaper seller. Arnaldo Tamayo said :"Since childhood, I dreamed of flying, of being a military pilot."

During the dictatorship of General Fulgencio Batista, Arnaldo Tamayo Méndez participated in several student demonstrations in protest against the dictator who had turned Cuba into a United-States dominated country and whose economy and political sectors were plagued by the mafia. Cuba's economic sectors were largely in the hands of American multinationals. To ensure control of Cuba, the United States supported a corrupt ruling class linked to the mafia.

Tobacco and sugar, the main sources of income, were in the hands of monopolists, mainly American. Cuban workers were starving and did not have a single piece of land to cultivate. They had borrow money from loan sharks. There were no schools or teachers for the majority of Cuba's 6 million people.

After the start of the Cuban Revolution, in 1953, Arnaldo Tamayo entered in January 1959 the "Rebel Army" Technical Institute and after that the Cuban Revolutionary Armed Forces (Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias, F.A.R., in spanish)

He became a fighter pilot and trained to become a MiG-15 fighter pilot in the Soviet Union at just 19 years old. MiG-15 were produced in the U.S.S.R. and several communist block countries used them during conflicts but also for training.

In April 1961, two events happened a few days apart :

On the 12th April, Yuri Gagarin became the first human to fly in space

Between the 17th and 19th, C.I.A. and U.S.-backed Cuban exiles attempted a military invasion of Cuba which was successfully stopped by the Cuban army.

Arnaldo Tamayo took part in the combats against the C.I.A. mercenaries who had invaded Cuba. But a week before that victory, the news of Gagarin's successful flight into the cosmos greatly inspired him. So he was happy when he was later sent in the USSR to study in the Military Aviation School.

On the 24th July 1961, Yuri Gagarin, the first man in space, arrived in La Havana for a visit after his flight. In part of his speech, Yuri Gagarin said a sentence that stuck with Arnaldo Tamayo : "The day will come when a son of the Cuban people will also travel to the cosmos."

After his training in the Soviet Union (April 1961-May 1962), he came back to Cuba. In October 1962, during the Cuban missiles crisis, Tamayo carried out several reconnaissance missions (around 20) in the Cuban sky with the aim to intercept enemy aircraft. As the two powers come to an agreement, the Americans promise Moscow that they will not attack Cuba. So it is now possible for Arnaldo Tamayo to continue his studies. He applies to the Antonio Maceo Grajales Higher School of the Revolutionary Armed Forces, from which he successfully graduates in 1971. During his service in the Cuban Air Force, Arnaldo Tamayo makes countless flights and achieved the rank of first class pilot (Class I) and later become an instructor pilot. In 1975, he was chief of staff of the Santa Clara Aviation Brigade and is promoted in 1976 to lieutenant colonel.

Meanwhile, in 1966, the Intercosmos program (Интеркосмос) was created. It was a Soviet space cooperation program, carried out under the auspices of the USSR Academy of Sciences, among the countries of the socialist bloc, aimed at promoting international cooperation in space for peaceful purposes. The countries participating in this program had all adopted a socialist regime but some pro-Soviet non-aligned countries were included over the years. The program resulted in the development of 26 scientific satellites and the participation in space missions of around fifteen nationals of the co-opted countries.

In the 1970s, the Intercosmos program starts training cosmonauts to send them in space, first in 1978 with the Czechoslovak Vladimír Remek, the first neither Soviet nor American cosmonaut. Cuba then sends Arnaldo Tamayo and his colleague José Armando López Falcón to the USSR to prepare for a space flight.

The applicants had to be experienced pilots with an accident-free record and speak Russian. 600 pilots registered but the number decreased in the as the weeks went by during the tests. Tamayo Méndez and López Falcón traveled to the City of Stars, near Moscow, to train as cosmonauts.

They were paired with Yuri Romanenko (Ю́рий Романе́нко) and Yevgeny Khrunov (Евге́ний Хруно́в) who both went to space once before that. Tamayo and Romanenko were chosen as the main crew while López and Khrunov were their backup crew. They started training in September 1979.

Yuri Romanenko saw Arnaldo Tamayo Méndez as jovial and has said of him : "In Tamayo, the best traits of Cubans are concentrated : the ability to work and perseverance. Plus cordiality, kindness and good humor. And believe me, they are qualities very important for cosmonauts." Arnaldo Tamayo described Yuri Romanenko as part of his family.

After a year, in September 1980, they were ready for their space flight : the "Soyuz 38" mission during which they would stay in Salyut 6, the soviet orbital space station, for several days, to carry out experiments. Finally, on the 18th September 1980, at 22:11 in Moscow and 15:11 in Cuba, Arnaldo Tamayo Méndez and Yuri Romanenko took off from the Baikonur cosmodrome (Kazakh SSR). Tamayo was traveling as a research cosmonaut while Romanenko was the commander of the spacecraft.

They were met at the Station by Leonid Popov (Леони́д Попо́в) and Valery Ryumin (Вале́рий Рю́мин), on board from April to October 1980, in light blue on the first picture. Romanenko and Tamayo's stay lasted 7 days and 20 hours, a week they used for their scientific researches.

They studied different brain areas to further understand its electrical activity Another experiment was observing changes of skeletal muscle structure, as well as another on blood circulation, which sought to determine the impact weightlessness has on the human circulatory system. The other researches studied how cell division, immune system, concentrations of antibodies and other proteins and minerals were affected after prolonged exposure to a weightless environment. They also studied the growth of a crystal of sucrose in weightlessness.

They used calibrators developed by the Cuban National Institute of Sports, Physical Education and Entertainment. When the researches were completed, Soyuz 38 separated from Salyut-6 on the 25th October. The next day at 15:54, the rescue team welcomed the cosmonauts in Kazakhstan.

Arnaldo Tamayo Méndez, by being the first Latin American, first Afro-descendant and first Spanish speaker in space made history. Fidel Castro said that he "represented Cuba, Latin America, Africa and the Third World in the cosmos". Tamayo, with Romanenko was decorated by Raúl Castro with the first honorary medal of Hero of the Republic of Cuba and the Playa Girón Order. In Moscow, he received the Order of Lenin and was named Hero of the Soviet Union. His colleague had been awarded with these titles as well.

After the space flight, knowing of the sad death of Yuri Gagarin in a plane crash in 1968, Fidel prohibited the Cuban cosmonaut from flying or carrying out training flights in combat aircraft. Despite his love for flying and longing for the cosmos, Tamayo followed the orders.

Arnaldo Tamayo Méndez is now more known as a public and military leader than as a cosmonaut or a pilot. He became a general, a deputy of the National Assembly of People's Power of the republic and heads the foreign relations directorate of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Cuba. He is still close with his colleagues, Soviet and others, especially his partner, the one he considers his "star brother" Yuri Romanenko, despite the distance and even after the fall of the U.S.S.R.. Today, Arnaldo Tamayo Méndez also heads the Cuba-Russia Friendship Association.

Arnaldo Tamayo Méndez expressed it this way: "My luck is similar to that of all the hungry people of my generation, for whom the revolution opened the paths of life. But there is a particularity, I was very lucky, they sent me to study in the Union Soviet, to a military pilot academy, and then... to the City of Stars, where cosmonauts live and study ."

Arnaldo Tamayo Méndez emphasizes that the relations between Cuba and the U.S.S.R. have deep important historical roots. The work of thousands of Soviet specialists allowed the small revolutionary island to greatly raise the level of its scientific and technical development. The participation of their engineers and agricultural specialists was a considerable contribution to the industrial development of Cuba. Thousands of Cuban students graduated from higher education centers in the USSR, receiving high-quality professional preparation, like Arnaldo Tamayo did.

Arnaldo Tamayo said that Yuri Gagarin, as a spiritual teacher, had a huge influence on him. "He was and will continue to be my idol. In the difficult moments of life, those that happen to everyone, I remember Gagarin's smile known throughout the world. And the discomfort recedes" Even if there hasn't been any other Cuban or Latin-American cosmonaut, Tamayo Méndez inspired plenty of people with his incredible trajectory of life, like Yuri Gagarin did in his time.

Look at their beautiful smiles !!

After him, several Black astronauts went to space, such as Guion Bluford (in 1983) or Mae Jemison (1992), leading the way for many more.

The 97th cosmonaut, Arnaldo Tamayo Méndez, has his name written in the History of World Cosmonautics as the first Cuban, first Latin American and the first Afro-descendant person who saw our planet from the Cosmos, representing his homeland and People with glory and honor.
