Fire

I have to re-figure out how to do fire with the light and the fiber optic. I could not figure it out tonight. I need to get the light to an orange/red combination, not just red.

A Russian commander was fined for crashing a prized Pantsir missile system into a railway bridge in St. Petersburg. It is supposed to be worth $15m. He did this mid-year. Earlier a drunk soldier crashed a different air defense system into a ditch. 
Ukraine shot down three Russian planes. 
I read a Forbes article about Ukraine’s First Lady and fashion. You know I have zero interest in fashion and I sympathize with a woman whose husband gets some dumb idea to run for president and then somehow wins and now she has to dress and play the part. He did this after doing a TV show where he played a teacher who decided to run for president. He actually, in real life, forgot to tell her he was running and she found out by watching the news announcement on TV. Good thing she didn’t kill him.
Anyway, he decided to run, he won, she became First Lady, she hates this stuff, she doesn’t want to have tons of clothes, but now fashion matters. Events have dress codes. Fashion communicates. With the war, the domestic fashion industry matters even more. She has my sympathy.
She now wears a Ukrainian ready-to-wear brand. Increasingly the other important women in Ukraine are wearing the same brand. The brand is Gasanova, founded by Elvira Gasanova. Shortly after the business began Russia invaded Crimea. 
Olena Volodymirivna aka Madam Zelenska likes having a small wardrobe, she likes rewearing her clothes, and now she needs/wants to wear Ukrainian brands. She does not like fittings, so they make clothes that she can just wear immediately. 
Elvira’s success has allowed her to  help The Superhuman Center (TSC), a Ukrainian non-profit which provides surgical and reconstructive medical procedures, prosthetics, and mental health care for those who have suffered the loss of one or more limbs in the conflict.
Gasanova (not pronounced how you think) has a new line, the Dragon’s Power. It goes well with the next year Chinese zodiac sign. She has an ex-soldier fashion model with a prosthetic wearing the outfits in the advertising and the photography shows a very conventionally attractive female super hero.
