HESTIA & FLAMESKEEPER ASKS DUMP

A/N: Hi so I got these three Hestia and Flamekeepers asks in mass so I'll just be all answering them all in here cause they're all related more or less. Prepare for lots and lots of text:

Anytime some child or woman sits by a fire source, a fireplace, a little campfire in the woods or in the streets, Hestia is there in spirit, making them warm like they have been personally been wrapped in a warm blanket by her that lulls them to sweet dreams and when they wake up, they'll find a little gift; whether it's a bit of money, food, or when they soon find help. If that child is particular, they'll find tiny holes in their clothes, made by tiny embers that provide them a blessing from the goddess herself. When they come across the Flameskeepers and they choose to keep their old clothes, they don't mend the holes the Embers made. Any new clothes they were given to them, weaved, mended, and fitted, many instinctively, and deliberately let the embers create tiny holes in them as a reminder. Even if they do not choose to remain with the Flameskeeper, they continue to stoke the fire in honour of Hestia and her flamekeepers, and all their clothes have the smell of fresh bread, smoke, and fire on them.

 mentioned something to this in this ask here: https://www.tumblr.com/audreyscribes/746629501264576512/how-are-hestias-flamekeepers-im-going-to-call?source=share

Like the Huntresses who have their silver palkas and gear, when enough time has elapsed and when they pledge to Hestia, they’re gifted with a veil. It not only as a minor protection, it also has minor invisibility that lets the wearer hide away from evil, harm, and such. It's not as invincible as wearing the Nemean Lion hide or powerful with the invisibility as the Helm of Darkness of Hades, but for a priestess of Hestia? That’s more than enough.  You can wear it on your head like a veil or a headcovering (i.e. tichel, hijab, dupatta, so forth), a shawl, a scarf, to wrap around your waist, or whatever you like you find comfortable. It’s been weaved together with the help of all the sisters within the Flameskeepers with little ember hole marks by Hestia. If the Flameskeeper don’t have the beads from Camp Halfblood or Tattooed by Camp Jupiter, they have (also) the veil. Each year you all get together to embroider your veil with a design, helped by your sisters or by yourself, showing everyone. It can be elaborate or as simple as you like. 

First and foremost, there’s no real obvious emphasis on status with Hestia’s priestess. Other than ‘high’ priestess, the seniors, and so forth, much like the actual priestess of Hestia, it’s pretty much equal. The only external/physical way you can probably tell who is senior and how long they’ve been around is with their veil and the amount of embroidery they’ve added every year since they’ve been a Flameskeeper. Otherwise, it’s your years of service, knowledge, skills, and your character, that prove to others but you won’t see any show-offing because your fellow Flameskeepers and priestess are your family and community.

Other than the veil, there's no real strict or specific dress code that the Flameskeepers have to follow in terms of pieces... What they do have to wear is more a general suggestion and follows more common sense; like you're going to need to wear clothes that are suitable for work around the house and hearth. Like you're free to wear shorts and t-shirts if you want but don't wear anything that is flammable (i.e. polyester, nylon) cause you will go up in flames, and you're lucky that Hestia saved you, and you're going to get a lecture from not only her, the children of Apollo, and the other older Flameskeeper on fire safety. Just wear clothes that are appropriate, practical clothes that are appropriate for the work you're doing and it'll be fine.

In terms of vibe: There's a sense of modesty, and simplicity with nothing explicit that resonates Hestia or aligns with her virtues. Some of the older flamekeepers vibe with the Ancient Greek wear "Chiton- a tunic of two different styles, Doric and Ionic, worn by both sexes" , "Peplos - a garment worn mainly by women over a chiton or instead of one", paired with the veil/shawl that acts as the "Epiblema-a shawl worn over a chiton or peplos by both men and women"; otherwise, you do you, you can also go full lumberjack, cottagecore, or whatever. As for Make-up, you're free to wear makeup if you want but nothing overly excessive; mostly because it’ll be wasted effort. You’re going to be sweating it off, grime and dust, the heat and smoke of the fire is going to mess with it, among other things and there are things to do to get done. Besides with the minor blessing of Hestia, with her bestowing her flamekeepers with youth and vigour to them, the need for make-up is not entirely necessary. 

Accessories are fine like for the clothes, just as long as they’re not excessive and don’t get in the way of work. If you’re working on the looms or doing any weaving, just remove or roll up your bracelets and charms so they don’t get caught, or make sure the metal doesn’t sting and burn you if you’re working by the fire. 

Okay I've never made a playlist or recommended songs based on a theme before, and I have limited music tastes so hopefully these are alright. Don't expect me to recommend many songs cause again, limited music tastes. Hope this will suffice Tyche demigod/ Clover anon!

Missions of Atlantis (OV-104)

"CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. -- This orbiter tribute of space shuttle Atlantis, or OV-104, hangs in Firing Room 4 of the Launch Control Center at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida. In the lower-left corner, it features Atlantis soaring above Earth and threaded through the design are the mission patches for each of Atlantis’ flights. Atlantis' accomplishments include seven missions to the Russian space station Mir and several assembly, construction and resupply missions to the International Space Station. Atlantis also flew the last Hubble Space Telescope servicing mission on STS-125. In the tribute, the planet Venus represents the Magellan probe being deployed during STS-30, and Jupiter represents the Galileo probe being deployed during STS-34. The inset photos illustrate various aspects of shuttle processing as well as significant achievements, such as the glass cockpit and the first shuttle docking with Mir during STS-71. The inset photo in the upper-left corner shows a rainbow over Atlantis on Launch Pad 39A and shuttle Endeavour on Launch Pad 39B at Kennedy. Endeavour was the assigned vehicle had Atlantis’ STS-125 mission needed rescue, and this was the last time both launch pads were occupied at the same time. The stars in the background represent the many people who have worked with Atlantis and their contributions to the vehicle’s success."

MLB players dressing down Nike, Fanatics over new uniforms that look ‘like a replica’

[Original article]

The top story of spring training so far has nothing to do with the seams and stitches on a baseball. Instead, the talk of spring is all about the seams and stitches of the new jersey that Major League Baseball’s on-field uniform provider has rolled out for this season: the Nike Vapor Premier.

Nike claims the new jersey is softer, lighter and stretchier than the previous model. Many players say it’s worse. In clubhouses around the league on Wednesday, they criticized the jerseys’ poor fit, cheap look, inconsistent quality and small lettering.

“It looks like a replica,” Angels outfielder Taylor Ward said. “It feels kind of like papery. It could be great when you’re out there sweating, it may be breathable. But I haven’t had that opportunity yet to try that out. But from the looks of it, it doesn’t look like a $450 jersey.

“So far, thumbs down.”

At his locker, Angels reliever Carlos Estévez was in a tizzy over the new threads. He pulled out a couple tops and pairs of pants to show that the shades didn’t match. He laughed at the spacing and shrunken nature of the lettering on the back of the jersey. And he bemoaned the fact he can’t customize his pants to his preference, the way pitchers once could, tailoring the fit to their big dumpers and tree-trunk thighs.

“When I wear my pants, I feel like I’m wearing someone else’s pants,” Estévez said.

“I could see Estévez (flexing),” Ward said, “and it just ripping in the back.”

An airing of sartorial grievances that began earlier this week at the St. Louis Cardinals complex in Jupiter, Fla. has resulted in Nike, which engineered and designed the jerseys, and Fanatics, which manufactured them, facing blowback from big leaguers and baseball fans alike. The complaints prompted players to take their displeasure to their union, and the MLBPA is now involved in relaying the players’ concerns.

But anyone paying attention only to official channels would have little idea what the fuss was about. As that storm of criticism brewed in clubhouses, MLB and Nike ran a joint press release about the new jersey that included rave reviews from Cardinals third baseman Nolan Arenado (“It’s almost like wearing my favorite shirt out on the field”), Orioles catcher Adley Rutschman (“much more breathable, with vents on the numbers and better airflow all around”) and reigning NL MVP Ronald Acuña Jr. (“Feeling free in the jersey is the best feeling in the world”). All wear Nike gear in games. So do several other stars who have publicly praised the jerseys since Nike debuted them at the 2023 All-Star Game: Mike Trout, Kenley Jansen, Corbin Carroll and Jason Heyward.

Chicago Cubs shortstop Dansby Swanson, who has a Nike endorsement deal, said he reached out to Nike contacts Tuesday to discuss the new jerseys. He’s all for the new materials, he said, but some of the design decisions — like the specific shade of blue on the Cubs jerseys — are worth reconsidering.

“Cubbie blue is its own blue, right?” Swanson said. “This blue on the uniform is a little bit different than Cubbie blue. So how can we just recapture that?”

Swanson’s broader point was that in the design process, Nike may have removed some elements that make each team’s jersey their own. In Cardinals camp, for example, they lamented losing the chain-stitching of player names on the jersey.

“You wouldn’t change the font of, let’s say, the (Atlanta) Falcons,” Swanson said, referring to his favorite National Football League team. “They have a little bit of a futuristic block lettering. That’s unique to their jersey. You wouldn’t then go put that on the New York Giants jersey.” He added, “With some of those things, it’s like this makes a Cubs uniform a Cubs uniform. It doesn’t need to change. I think that they will probably have to end up figuring out a way to kind of go back to what it used to be.”

It is unclear whether these uniforms will differ from those worn in the regular season.

Nike did not respond to a request for comment.

While the jerseys themselves have changed, the main parties in the creation process have been the same since Nike became MLB’s official on-field uniform provider in December 2019, reportedly paying more than $1 billion for a 10-year deal. (Under Armour initially won that bid, back in 2016, but that deal fell apart and Nike swooshed in.) Nike partnered with Fanatics — which had purchased MLB’s 2005-19 uniform supplier, Majestic, in April 2017 — to manufacture the jerseys. So the Nike jerseys are now produced by Fanatics, out of the same Pennsylvania factory where Majestic jerseys were once made.

Chris Creamer, who runs SportsLogos.net, explained in an email Wednesday that it’s surprisingly common for one company to create jerseys for another brand like Fanatics is now doing for Nike. When Fanatics takes over as the National Hockey League’s uniform outfitter this fall, the Fanatics-branded jerseys will be manufactured at the same Quebec factory as the Adidas ones NHL players are wearing this season.

“The money exchanged in these deals is really just for that brand’s corporate logo on the jersey,” Creamer wrote. “The leagues or the companies involved don’t seem too bothered by who is actually producing it.”

A Fanatics spokesperson declined to comment.

Nike claims that in designing the Nike Vapor Premier it “body-scanned more than 300 baseball players to dial in the ideal fit — more athletic and form-fitting than the previous chassis,” which is clothes-speak for template. But a common complaint among players is that Nike has limited the customization of jerseys.

Pitchers, in particular, are huffing about their pants. Before last year, according to multiple pitchers, they had several measurements taken for their pants, which then were tailored. Nike has since simplified the fitting process, and tailoring is not on the table. (“You’re telling me that Fernando Tatis is going to be on the field without painted-on pants?” a pitcher joked. “Robbie Ray with some baggy pants?”)

Some clubhouse managers have taken on the task of tailoring.

Yankees reliever Tommy Kahnle, who fans have given the nickname “Tommy Tightpants,” has leaned into the look. He reached into his locker for his new trousers Wednesday and gave them a “stretch test” with his hands. Not tight enough. Kahnle hadn’t actually put them on yet, but he knew.

“I like the old ones,” Kahnle declared.

A Dodger said he was swimming in his pants.

A Tiger loudly complained, “These pants they made are terrible.”

Among the design tweaks Nike made to this year’s jersey, according to Uni Watch’s Paul Lukas, are stretchier fabric, changing home jerseys from white to a subtle off-white, narrowing the placket (the vertical strip on the front of the shirt upon which the buttons sit), altering the belt loops, moving the MLB logo down on the back of the jersey and reducing the size of the last-name lettering. The latter change has fans fuming and players scratching their heads.

(Link to tweet showing the difference in the jerseys)

Tigers catcher Jake Rogers, who had no other complaints about the jerseys (“It feels good”), noticed that the lettering was visibly smaller this year. “You see an old jersey, my name was like this,” he said, gesturing with his hands, “using up a lot of room.”

“Look at the last names, bro,” Estévez said. “I’m 6-foot-6. This is going to look tiny on me.”

“I think the last names look really bad honestly,” a Cardinals player said. “I saw someone on Twitter said this looks like a Walmart jersey.”

Nike will sell three versions of the Nike Vapor Premier jerseys to fans: Limited Jersey (“inspired by the on-field jersey”), Game Jersey (“replica player jersey”) and Elite Jersey (“authentic jersey, as worn by player on-field”). Only the Limited jersey is currently available; an Acuña can be had for $174.99.

Now situated at Cubs spring training in Mesa, Ariz., Swanson has been sort of stuck in the middle, privy to both complaints from players about the jerseys and chats with Nike employees about them.

“It’s one of those things where there’s good and bad,” Swanson said. “It’s hard to sit here and just blast them about it or praise them for it. There’s stuff on both sides, and I think the beauty is they’re willing to have those conversations. Obviously, if it’s a change of anything, initial reactions are always going to be (strong). But I do think there are some things that could be altered to make it better.”

Whether or not Nike makes changes, this jersey looks different. It feels different. It’ll take time, however, to know whether the Nike Vapor Premier is actually better or worse than the version before it. When Majestic in 2016 introduced its “Cool Base” jersey — lighter, moisture-wicking, more flexible — they felt thinner and cheaper, Creamer said. There were design complications. There was criticism. But eventually, everyone moved on.

Reds catcher Luke Maile said changing jerseys is like changing toilet paper.

“You notice it at first,” he said, “but after a while, it’s just your toilet paper.”

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — A NASA spacecraft rocketed away Monday on a quest to explore Jupiter’s tantalizing moon Europa and reveal whether its vast hidden ocean might hold the keys to life. It will take Europa Clipper 5 1/2 years to reach Jupiter, where it will slip into orbit around the giant gas planet and sneak close to Europa during dozens of radiation-drenched flybys. Scientists are almost certain a deep, global ocean exists beneath Europa’s icy crust. And where there is water, there could be life, making the moon one of the most promising places out there to hunt for it. Europa Clipper won’t look for life; it has no life detectors. Instead, the spacecraft will zero in on the ingredients necessary to sustain life, searching for organic compounds and other clues as it peers beneath the ice for suitable conditions.

[ad_1] JUPITER, Fla. — Main League Baseball canceled the primary two collection of the 2022 steady season on Tuesday after the league and the gamers’ union failed to succeed in a brand new collective bargaining settlement.After just about a yr of negotiating, together with per week of day by day talks between the league and the gamers’ union in Florida beginning Feb. 21, the edges may no longer come to a brand new pact via M.L.B.’s self-imposed closing date of five p.m. Tuesday in an effort to start the 162-game season on March 31 as scheduled.Commissioner Rob Manfred introduced the cancellations in a information convention on Tuesday.“I had was hoping towards hope I wouldn’t need to have this press convention the place I'm going to cancel some steady season video games,” Manfred mentioned, including, “I wish to guarantee our lovers that our failure to succeed in an settlement was once no longer because of a loss of effort via both birthday party.”Those are the primary video games canceled or postponed on account of a piece stoppage because the 1994-95 gamers’ strike, which resulted within the lack of greater than 900 video games, together with the 1994 Global Sequence.
