#Livery Stable Blues

⚪💛🔫
(from @callsignpuppy)
Another fellow mercenary, and one who's also put in time on Solaris! Let me buy you a drink.
⚪ - I'll answer a little more about the Shadow Cat I piloted before I took my Ebon Jaguar.
I've always been partial to the Prime variant because of its Gauss rifle. Or maybe I love Gauss rifles because I started on a Shadow Cat Prime. Either way, it's a hell of a weapon to put on a medium 'Mech, even by Clan standards. With a steady hand at the trigger, it's a guaranteed honorable death for whoever's fool enough to turn their cockpit my way.
If there's anything I miss about that model, it's the jump jets. 180 meters of flight ain't bad by a long stretch. Every time I have to find some kind of 'Mech-passable means up some impossible elevation change, I get wistful about havin' left that maneuverability behind. But then I alpha strike a medium brawler to oblivion and remind myself why I traded up.
💛 - Another chance to talk about my Ebon Jaguar? Don't mind if I do.
When I was with the Genyosha, I had to paint her a lighter grey with black stripes. Reminded me too much of the original Smoke Jag colors. By contrast--and pretty high contrast at that--when she was "Razorclaw", fightin' for the Titans stables on Solaris, she was all bright blues and oranges, with decorative claws sprouting from the ends of the arm pods and spikes at just about every joint. Since then, I've toned down the paint job a bit, shifted the blues a bit back toward Delta Galaxy's livery, kept the orange down to a streak on each arm pod's cowling. Only a few of those foolish spikes have survived since I left Solaris. Maybe it's a bit superstitious, but I feel like when the last spike gets knocked off, it'll be a sign that I'm truly free from everyone who ever laid claim to me.
🔫 - I never did much training in fightin' outside a cockpit. I won my share of sibko brawls, but I lost plenty, too. That said, comin' out even in brawls within a Clan means I'm at a slight advantage when gettin' in a bar fight in the Sphere. Or that's how it used to be. Age might just be catchin' up with me.
I'm a fair shot with a pistol, and I keep a Nakjima strapped to my thigh in the cockpit and most places outside it. I've been lucky enough to not have to use it in self-defense.

Here's something from Mellanus.
Arilye & Squagblag No.16, a 4-4-0+4-4-0 Garrat, designed in 2235 to apply narrow gauge locomotive design principles to the Arilye & Squagblag Broad Gauge Trunk Railroad. They proved to be less stable than the "Easy" type 2-6-0s, 4-6-0s, and 4-4-0s already in use on the Trunk, but managed to be more efficient and boast a higher tractive effort than the "Easy" 4-6-0s which shared a boiler design. In the end, ten of these locomotives were built. One of these was sold to the Squagblag & Western, but it performed poorly after its regauging and was scrapped in 2281, its boiler being used for a very large geared locomotive. Another one of these locomotives was converted into two separate diesel-pneumatic 4-4-2 locomotives. No. 16, the 5th member of the class to be built, was preserved in 2306 in its more "modern" black and gray livery, but as of 2379, it has been restored to its original blue and green "lava lamp" condition.

What the heck is up with NWR livery?
Search me.
I dislike people trying to rationalize it by trying to stuff everyone into a hard-and-fast schema (passenger, goods, mixed-traffic liveries). I think the truth is that it's just a messy artifact. It's pretty obvious that at some point in the early '20s they were, in succession:
trying to standardize a blue livery (perhaps still experimenting with the accent)
testing out other liveries
gave up all of this in the face of FC1 deciding that keeping the engines happy and productive was a far better use of their time than designing a uniform
Judging from the RWS books, the tinkering with tint has never really stopped (in the '80s NWR blue looks really dark). It all feels very comfortably real-life tbh.
For what it's worth, I suspect the NWR policy about names and numbers was similarly unsettled until the mid-'20s. Like, with 87546 and 98462, my favorite headcanon was that originally they were the only two who had been given "proper" names, something rather more railway-realistic, maybe after important people like the chairman Lord Harwick, maybe after stations. When they realized that actually they couldn't stand the two of 'em, the names were revoked and the whole naming scheme was also abandoned in favor of something humbler.
As for numbering, I firmly believe that NWR numbering was a mess until 1948. How could it not be? It's impossible to put in a fic without being terribly confusing, but I reckon the original "obscure eight" were the Coffee Pots and the W. & S. engines and that there were several revisions as engines came and went. Then our main characters' numbers were depicted in the illustrations of Troublesome Engines to show off the new, and at last finally stable, number order. Nationalisation was probably the impetus: the NWR, against their own expectations, retained the right to carry their own numbering system (or they didn't, but they decided that they were going to anyway) and therefore finally got it nailed down.

Early 1960s Ramsey Reformed Church Family Directory, Titonka, Iowa - 1.0
Figure 1-0-1
Ramsey:
Norman Collar and family created the first settlement in the Titonka area of Iowa in 1867, having arrived from Illinois. Collar’s Corners, located in the southeast corner of Section 24, consisted of a “Sod Tavern” home that served as a way station for the Algona, Iowa, to Blue Earth, Minnesota stage line.
By 1877 a church, post office, blacksmith, school, and several homes built 1 1/2 miles north established the new village of Ramsey. The school primarily served as a community town hall due to the limited quantity of students.
By the 1890s Ramsey had faded away due to a new railroad line bypassing the area in favor of Germania (aka Lakota).
The former Ramsey site straddles Highway P60 in Section 13 of Ramsey Township, Kossuth County, Iowa, 3 1/3 miles west and 5 miles north of Titonka.
An access road to the Ramsey Township Cemetery, the last remaining remnant of the community, is 1/2 mile north, and 1/2 mile west of Ramsey on Highway A40.
Ramsey Reformed Church:
A general store owned by A.G. Wortman, Ramsey's last postmaster, served as a meeting hall for a Presbyterian church established by Rev. J. Liesveld. In 1882 church members decided to leave the Presbyterian faith and build a new church on donated land in Section 15 of German Township. The Reformed Church of America granted membership to the Ramsey Reformed Church (German Reformed Church) in 1886.
Ramsey Reformed Church and Cemetery are 1/2 mile east and 4 1/2 miles north of Titonka, Iowa, on Highway P66. Meyer Cemetery (German Township West Cemetery), also associated with the church, is 2 miles north and east of Titonka, east of intersection 350th St. & 200th Ave.
German Valley:
As Ramsey failed growth occurred 2 1/2 miles south of the Ramsey Reformed Church within Sections 27, 28, 33, and 34 of German Township. German Valley grew to 30 residents and featured a creamery, blacksmith, two livery stables, a post office, several abodes, and for a short time two rival general stores.
A new railroad line in the area resulted in most residents disassembling and moving their buildings 3 miles south by 1898 to form Titonka.
German Valley Co-operative Creamery Company, incorporated in 1896, continued to operate for several years after the move.
A 1890s store built by Adam Fisher east of the creamery saw several different owners and continued serving customers into the 1950s.
Mr. & Mrs. Henry Plaisier operated a welding and repair shop named Hank’s Repair Shop in German Valley from 1934 to 1977.
The German Township East Cemetery is one mile east of German Valley on the north side of 350th Street. The once adjacent German Lutheran Church, built circa 1897, lay abandoned and was “rotting away” by 1913.

1001: The Original Dixieland Jazz Band
Apparently the first recorded jazz that became popular. This album is a series of recordings made through the years 1917-1921 and that couldn't be a truer reflection of the sound. This album is time travel at it's finest. You get a real sense of how it must have felt in that time to hear this music for the first time through one of these recordings.
I have appreciation for this in the grand scope of jazz history, but after two songs I wanted to poke my finger through my eye to my brain and swish it around a little so that I could feel a different kind of pain. My personal tastes reflect a very small window for listening to this specific album and this specific sound.
noteworthy tracks: Livery Stable Blues, Tiger Rag, Bow Wow Blues (My Mama Treats Me Like A Dog)

Discworld | Part 9
Part 9 in which I finally lose my mind and start using hints from Universal Hint System (referred to as UHS from now on) a lot more after a bunch of flailing around working on more than one item at a time, because nothing felt like it was working, and there had to be progress somewhere. This Act has wrecked me. The first chunk of this will look all over the place because I was all over the place.
As a reminder of things still needed:
A tattoo for the birthmark - so close!
Mustache
Sword
Magic book/spell
Camo-flage
Magic talisman
So everything.
Carrying on and staring helplessly at notes for things still unsolved, I had the thought that I could scrape the mud off the number plate on the cart at the livery stable with a spatula. No. The muddy plate was to remain unsolved for now still.
While I was at the stable, I tried scissors with the donkey tail and got threatened by the donkey.
I was fairly sure this luxuriant black tail would be related to the mustache somehow and thought maybe I'd need some way to distract the donkey or lift its mood since examining it talks about it seems under the weather.
Nothing I had seemed to do anything, so I switched tracks to the magic talisman and went to talk to the bragging adventurer in the Drum. Once I got him more beer he just fed me a pack of poorly told lies.
I needed the truth potion from Nanny Ogg, but still wasn't sure how to get it, so hint 1. The love potion custard tart. I forgot you could even use stuff on Rincewind.
So I used that and gave Nanny Ogg a big ol' smooch.
She gave me the truth potion and I used it on the beer for the adventurer. He realized I'd spiked it with something though and did the ol' look over there distraction at a picture of a prize winning animal.
Rincewind pointed out a different picture, then the adventurer went again, and there was nothing more to point out, so Rincewind got stuck with drinking the truth potion beer and rambled a bit about some of the stuff we've done in the game to the adventurer's confusion.
There's the wooden beam by the table. I tried hanging up the sheep picture, but the barkeeper will only let award winning animals be displayed.
I realized I could give the blue rosette to the sheep and get another picture.
A champion! As she deserves. Just look at all the already spun wool she's providing
I went through the whole beer switcheroo again, and with the added sheep portrait there was enough distractions for the truth potion beer to be on the adventurer's side. He drank up and admitted to being a lying weasel and that the temple is in a jungle over a gorge and could be found on any map. That opened the gorge location on my map.
I headed straight there and ran into the black monk of Offler from earlier in the game. We got into a tussle.
And he dropped Rincewind into the river far below.
Thankfully, the Luggage always follows and took care of the gators giving chase, so Rincewind clambered back up the paths and returned to the bridge.
I tried using the magic carpet thinking maybe I could fly over the gorge or get stopped from falling. Right solution; wrong reasoning. The carpet gets laid over the bridge and then when the monk approaches, Rincewind yanks it out from under him causing him to fall leaving the bridge free to cross.
I arrived at the Temple of Offler.
Very Indiana Jones inspired place, full of traps. There was even a hat and whip on the hat stand. I also scooped a bandana from there.
Rincewind makes a comment about not wanting to even look at the path. I tried the blindfold on him and that worked as far as doing anything, but since he can't see there was still no way to actually cross.
Just set off a lot of traps and when done, he had an arrow sticking through his hat that he tossed aside. That hat is good for something.
Once again, I couldn't figure out what to do and left to pursue other goals or hope for more information.
And the throwing up hands in despair and getting hints started here.
I found out there was something to do with the spatula in the Shades. Turns out you can scrape away the soot where the person got fried by the dragon for human-shaped soot. Double clicking it in the inventory turns it into a pile of soot. This can apparently be used to disguise yourself as a dragon victim--thus the camo-flage. So that's one item down I guess??
Then it was back to getting that blasted tattoo. Another hint led to the tower which I had completely forgotten about yet again, and it apparently overlooks the square, which I either didn't know or forgot. When I examined the tower it says that but I don't remember if it did in previous acts.
Anyway with the knowledge of that, I figured out I could use the rubber belt as a bungee rope basically and drop down to pluck away the fake tattoo from the street starfish.
Took Rincewind a few bounces but he got it in the end. Finally!
Two of the items acquired!
Since I was already well on the way to getting the Eye of Offler for the magic talisman I went back to the Temple of Offler.
Hints again sigh. I needed to use the leash on the luggage. I didn't realize you could even use inventory on the Luggage. With Rincewind blindfolded and the Luggage not having a care in the world about traps, it was able to lead the blinded Rincewind through the path to the altar.
I couldn't just grab the jewel, but figured I'd need to swap it. I found some sand. I thought, ah, fill something with the sand, like my paper bag and swap them. No. Well, yes and no, but not the paper bag. Oh no. UHS, I give you the floor:
Don't ask why, but your money pouch is the only thing that you can put the sand in.
I'm asking why! The money pouch is like the skills and sticks to Rincewind's inventory. It's never even been used as an inventory item. I've basically been treating it as a passive thing that's let me get items that should be paid for. Is that what Indiana Jones used as well? I don't know! I've only seen a couple of the movies and that was years ago. I barely remember anything about them outside of commonly referenced things.
I got the Eye of Offler anyway so there's my magic talisman.
I got the classic escape sequence with running away from a giant rolling rock.
Once outside it turned out to be a tiny ball and just kind of bounced off Rincewind's foot and onward. Tempered drama.
I returned to Ankh-Morpork to start working on the mustache. I confirmed with UHS I was right about needing the donkey, but I really had no idea what to do and was faced with this oh-so comforting message.
As a first hint here, the troll is a red herring. Don't bother to try to take his moustache or follow his lead or anything like that. And as a bit of a warning, some parts of this solution require some pretty big leaps of faith (and leaps in the subtlety of the hints).
I'm a little annoyed because I probably could have fumbled my way through at least part of the solution based off things I still had noted as needing solving or suspicious even if I would have been confused by the end goal. But I was stymied by having straight up missed an item.
That dirty number plate on the cart has been bugging me for a while and I kept thinking the foamy water would be needed to clean it, but I needed something to clean with. I missed a brush in the fool's bathroom.
So the goal here was to get the donkey elsewhere into a position to cut some of the tail. There have been a number of comments of "Did anyone get the number of that donkey cart" when someone, usually Rincewind, gets stunned. However, the assassin at the alley rooftops does it when falling too. I'd long forgotten that and needed the hint for that.
So, you take the ladder that got put back up there on his route, by cutting the bit of rope holding it in place with the knife. I got that bit! Then the assassin falls and asks that question.
If you've cleaned the number plate you find out the number plate says Sore Ass.
If you hadn't cleaned it yet...like me... you have to go through dropping the ladder all over again.
Once that's done the donkey is gone from the stable and ends up in the stocks in the square.
From there simply cut a bit of the tail and presto there's a mustache!
I don't think I would have ever deliberately put all that together... especially since I was already going on the wrong train of thought in regards to the donkey. Still, mustache acquired.
I still needed the sword and the magic book. It'd be nice to think the dragon summoning book would count, but it's actually a spell you need, so to the library. Unlike the convolutions of the other items I just needed to the find the book in the shelves. Essentially a pixel hunt. Yay.
Rincewind read the book and got a spell or the book read him. Either way he's got a spell rattling around his head now and in my inventory.
All I had left to get is the sword! I had no idea how to get that!
Thank you Universal Hint System! I'll probably come running back to you some more for the sword, but I want to give it a whack at least...

Music in the Post-War World
By Fernanda Matamoros
As we all know, World War I brought with it many consequences. Among them, focusing on the musical field, classical music was severely damaged due to the numerous composers and performers who died in battle or were severely marked by the things they had to live through. From this tragic event, musical pieces emerged that were either written especially for the cause or were born out of collective despair at such a tragedy.
After the end of the era of late Romanticism, Symbolism and Expressionism, European musical culture began to decline, and American popular music became increasingly important because of the war.
This event gave rise to a musical genre that was just beginning to take root in the United States, jazz. Thanks to the country's involvement in the battle, American soldiers were sent to the European continent, among them a black American regiment of musicians called the Harlem Hellfighters, who are credited with introducing jazz to France. During this period, patriotic songs became popular and helped to boost the morale of soldiers and civilians. Among the popular songs of the era was "Livery Stable Blues."
This musical genre not only quickly positioned itself as a favorite soundtrack of the war because of its upbeat and catchy characteristics, but also as an integrating cultural force. The jazz phenomenon continued even after World War II, being one of the most popular post-war genres alongside rock 'n' roll and country. After World War II, the musical themes and the music itself evolved, and singers such as Bing Crosby and Frank Sinatra replaced the big bands of the past.
In the 50's, rock 'n' roll, with its innovative musical approach featuring electric guitars and drums, took off and was popularized by figures such as Elvis Presley and The Beatles. The 60's saw a new change in the music industry as they adapted to new technologies. Folk and rock music disappeared while jazz was reborn with exhibitors such as John Coltrane and Miles Davis, and blues and rhythm sounds emerged. In the following decades, various genres such as disco, hip hop and rap appeared. And undoubtedly, as the years go by, there will always be new musical styles that will leave their mark on musical history.
In conclusion, the World Wars not only marked humanity for life, but also completely changed the course of musical history and allowed the creation of unimaginable pieces that perhaps, in another historical context, would never have existed.

FIRST LOOK: Alpine complete the 2023 F1 grid with A523 car launch
Alpine have become the 10th and final team to reveal their car for the upcoming F1 season, pulling the covers off the A523 during a ceremony in London to complete the 2023 grid.
Following Monday’s shakedown at Silverstone, the team gathered in the capital – at the Printworks events venue – on Thursday evening for their official launch, which saw them unveil the new car in their now-traditional blue-livery – along with a pink-themed version in the colours of the team's title sponsor BWT.

The car will be driven by Esteban Ocon, who is preparing for his third season in Alpine colours, and new team mate Pierre Gasly, who arrived from AlphaTauri over the winter.
The new Alpine A523
Alpine will be hoping that 2023 can yield the next step in their push towards the front of the F1 grid, with the top three now the target after finishing fifth in the constructors’ standings in 2021 and fourth in 2022.
Ocon and Gasly have already shared positive words about their first runs in the A523 on Monday – the latter reporting a “very good” feeling – while the team noted that the day was issue-free.

Adding his thoughts on the car’s shakedown, Alpine Technical Director Matt Harman said: “It’s been another milestone ticked for the A523 with our shakedown at Silverstone and I’m pleased the day ran so smoothly.
“Esteban drove first in the morning to check all the systems were working properly as well as completing the usual install programme for the car. Pierre was then in the car in the afternoon for the first time in the A523 and completed eight stable laps to get an initial feel in his new surroundings.
“These days are of course limited and not representative, but we’ve certainly had a great day and we now look forward to testing in Bahrain where we expect to continue our learning of the 2023 car.”
TEAM GUIDE: Get briefed on Alpine as they push to join F1’s front-runners in 2023
As Harman mentioned, Alpine and the rest of the F1 grid will soon travel to the Bahrain International Circuit for pre-season testing – with running set to take place from February 23-25.
