On April 14th, 1972, 52 years ago today, The Royal Scots Dragoon Guards topped the UK charts with Amazing Grace.

Almost fifty years ago an Army pipe major approached his regimental music director and asked him to make an arrangement for a spiritual hymn that went well on the pipes. The Pipe Major was Tony Crease, the tune was Amazing Grace and The Royal Scots Dragoon Guards were about to take the popular music world by storm

One of the band’s top fans was the late BBC disc jockey Alan Freeman. He said: ‘I don’t see it as the pop sound of the 70s but this record is the greatest.’

Amazing Grace topped the singles chart for 5 weeks, the RPM national singles chart in Canada for three weeks, and rose as high as number 11 in the US. It also topped the charts in Ireland and South Africa. In 2007, Universal records released a new album by the group, Spirit of the Glen, some of the album was recorded at a military base in Basra, my friend’s husband played in the band, which went on to be awarded a Classical Brit award.

It is also a controversial recording as it was a bit of a first, blending the pipes with military brass band instruments. It was a new sound, odd as that seems today. There was something of a controversy at the time; the Pipe Major of the regiment was summoned to Edinburgh Castle and rebuked for polluting the pipes with Sassenach metalwork.

In 2007, Universal records released a new album by the group, Spirit of the Glen.

Many artists have performed the song over the years, checking out my go to place fortunes, Allmusic, they list over 1,000 recordings – including re-releases and compilations! Some of the most well artists who have sung versions are; Judy Collins, Kenny Rogers, The Beatles, Jeff Buckley, Rod Stewart, Boy George, Aretha Franklin, George Jones, Grace Kelly, Glen Campbell and Elvis Pressley.

So my sibs and I were watching (in my case re-watching) and around that time where Zane was in the sick bay they immediately went:

"Why are the readings for a human—"

[The Ninjargon on the body map above read, from top to bottom: brain, face, torso, arm, belly, leg, knee, front leg.]

Which, to be fair, is a very good question. I propose two theories on this:

I. The systems were rigged that way to make it easier to understand. II. Zane has a heavily human-based system.

My rationale for each one is under the cut and, yes, it's long.

Yes, I have assignments and I am in college! Why'd you ask? :P

I. The systems were rigged that way to make it easier to understand.

I think the only persons who are well-versed in mechanical stuff is Jay and Nya. With all the disastrous situations Zane finds himself in usually land him in the sick bay, and as with a human patient you usually have to have someone looking over them.

Now technological whatnot is going to be hard to understand for someone who doesn't have a background in it (except maybe for red is bad and green is good idk), so I think Jay and Nya made it so that the displays show what it would look like for a human. Because who isn't familiar with heart monitors and stuff?

I like the thought that Jay and Nya amended the systems for the others to better understand it and so that when something goes wrong they can immediately be told what's wrong, which can save time. I think it's pretty neat.

(Disclaimer: Yes, I still am mildly affronted by how... inaccurate the systems are, but that's a discussion for another post.)

And the one I prefer:

II. Zane has a heavily human-based system.

(People who read spinchip are probably either rolling their eyes or leaning forwards. Or both)

You might tell me, 'Well, duh, Nin,' but hear me out.

Julien predated Borg when he created Zane, and it's all but implied that Zane's blueprints were probably what Borg used to create Pixal and consecutively what the Overlord used for his evil clone army back in S3.

Now take into account that Julien has had no other reference for creating an android out of what mechanics he already has in mind. Also that Zane was created with two main purposes: to be a defense droid ('protect those who cannot protect themselves') and to be Julien's son.

[The Ninjargon on the screen reads, from left to right, top to bottom: rpm, 34/56, heart, lungs.]

Here we can see he has lungs (I personally think that's just the cooling fans because idk how you'll make artificial lungs out of metal or smth) and a heart (his core most probably, though I really don't think it's gonna be a pump but something that disperses electricity through the body the same way the human heart distributes blood around). There's also a spine—probably where all the sensors find their locus.

Though I'm wondering why just those three on the screen? We don't even have the neural network there (unless you count the spine being that?? Somehow??)

The fanfic potential of this thing HM-

TLDR: I. The systems were rigged that way to make it easier to understand. II. Zane has a heavily human-based system.

Feel free to add onto the discussion or ask me stuff; this was written on a procrastinating streak, so I probably missed a few things or the essay is a bit blurred.

The Jack White Connection

In January 2015, Elvis’ very first recording, an unassuming simple acetate dating back to 1953, was sold at an auction to an undisclosed buyer for $300,000. It featured two sentimental ballads sung by Elvis, then a shy 18-year-old kid with a ducktail haircut: on the A-side was “My Happiness”, a tune from the 1940s that would be later made famous by Connie Francis, and on the flip side “That’s When Your Heartaches Begin”, which Elvis would later re-record and release as a B-side to “All Shook Up”. Back in 1953, Elvis had paid $3.98 for this service offered by Sam Phillips at Memphis Recording Service, either to hear how he sounded on record, or as a present for his mum, as he would later claim in interviews. Some would go so far as to say that he hoped Sam would hear his voice and sign him up at Sun Studios. Whatever the reason, Elvis took the record to his high-school friend Ed Leek, who, in his recollection, had given him the money ($3.98 amount to about $45 adjusted for inflation) and owned a record player. Elvis played the songs there, and then for some reason left the record at his house. It’s funny how in later years some articles would claim that Gladys played the record over and over, while Elvis admitted in the Million Dollar Quartet recordings that he had lost it. In 1988 Ed Leek let RCA transfer the songs to digital to be released, but he kept the original acetate until his death in 2010.

In March 2015, a couple of months after the record was sold at an auction by Leek’s niece, it was disclosed that the buyer was a fellow rock ‘n roll musican, Jack White. The Detroit native planned to reissue the precious artifact on vinyl in a limited edition for Record Store Day. For this, he faithfully recreated the 10-inch, 78-rpm record in every detail, including the yellowish aging paper of the plain sleeve and the typewritten labels. Alan Stoker, the son of Gordon Stoker from the Jordanaires, the background singers in many of Elvis’ hits, did the transfer at the Country Music Hall of Fame. He ensured that the sound would be as clean as possible while maintaining the old haunting feeling of what many consider to be the Holy Grail of rock ‘n roll.

youtube

From this, you may have gathered that Jack White, who has won 13 Grammies in his career and is credited for writing the most distinctive guitar riff of the early 2000s with “Seven Nation Army”, is an Elvis fan. Not only did he embark in the project of bringing Elvis’ first record to the public with a precise replica, but he also played Elvis in a cameo for the comedy “Walk Hard: the Dewey Cox Story” (2007), which is a parody of music biopics. In the now iconic scene, Dewey, played by John C. Reilly, is terrified because he has to go on stage after Elvis, who’s hungry and wants to get out of there early. When Elvis approaches Dewey Cox, he speaks in an unintelligible Southern drawl, and anachronistically attempts a karate chop in the 1950s, before he even started to study it! This is a spoof of music biopics, after all, where these “artistic liberties” are plentiful (Baz Luhrmann’s movie has Elvis sing “Trouble” at Russwood Park, for instance). Then Jack White’s Elvis hilariously explains karate: “It’s called karate, man. Only two kinds of people know it, The Chinese and The King.” This unflattering and stereotyped portrayal of Elvis purposefully misses everything about Elvis’ personality, especially his humility and his Southern accent, focusing on some unimportant stereotypes instead: the sweating, the love of junk food, and the mumbling.

youtube

But, aside from playing him in a now famous gag, Jack White payed homage to Elvis as a musician as well. His 2014 Grammy-winning single “Lazaretto” features a cover of “Power of My Love” on the B side. The single holds the record of being the world’s fastest released record. It was recorded live in Nashville in front of an audience, pressed and released in under 4 hours. The B-side is according to The Tennessean “a thunderous version of Elvis Presley's ‘Power of My Love,’ — a faithful rendition, aside from cranking up the tempo and piling on the guitar overdrive.” In 2022, as we know, he had the honor of recording a duet of the same song alongside Elvis’ voice. The song is featured in the soundtrack of Baz Luhrmann’s movie.

youtube

And finally, Jack speaks about his love for Elvis Presley in a 2018 episode of the podcast “Revisionist History” by Malcolm Gladwell. In an episode called “Analysis, Parapraxis, Elvis”, the author tries to understand why Elvis never seemed to get a particular part of “Are You Lonesome Tonight?” quite right. Jack, accompanied by his guitar, sings the song in full, including the slightly corny spoken bridge where the singer feels vulnerable, deceived and rejected, which is the emotional part that Elvis couldn’t face to sing. He says there are a lot of minor chords in the song that can get you in that melancholy vibe. The singer is lonesome and he doesn’t really care if his ex lover is lonesome: “it’s a McGuffin to pretend he’s worried about her”, Jack explains.

I’m sure there will be more occasions to hear Jack White paying homage to his idol in the future. After all, he has an Elvis shrine at home, as Gladwell reveals!

This is part of a series of posts about Elvis’ influence on the artists who followed him. You can read the other Elvis connections I wrote about here. So far I’ve written about people as diverse as Jimi Hendrix, Quentin Tarantino and Andy Warhol.

random Smasher headcanons

figured I oughta get these outta my head and written down somewhere, put them under a readmore to spare the tags my rambling disclaimer; I don’t own any of the sourcebooks to cross-check dates or what’s been confirmed for him but also I cherry-pick from the canon for fun anyways so eh

He was born sometime in the mid to late ‘80s, before the nuclear device was detonated in New York in ’93 but young enough that he doesn’t really remember life before it became a combat-zone. Not to say that life before the attack was easy; his mother was in a gang and he never knew anything about his father other than that he "died squealing like a pig."

His mother washed her hands of him before he was 10, leaving him to run rampant in the streets. There were a handful of other children in similar boats, they banded together to have a fighting chance. Quite a few of them died young, others died stupid. Of his lot, Adam is the last survivor.

His ‘meat is weak’ mantra took root when he was younger – he watched those who were in the imminent zones around the nuclear attack fall sick. An extreme case stuck with him; a man who terrified the young Adam ventured into ground zero of the attack for loot, when he returned his health quickly deteriorated from a towering tank of a man to little more than skin and bone. And then less, as his skin began to peel away. The last time Adam saw his remains they were being gnawed on by mangy dogs in an alley.

He killed before he could spell his name. Hell, it took him getting a literacy chip when he was signing up for the army to learn that.

His surname isn’t Smasher, like Blackhand and Silverhand that’s for show, for reputation. His actual surname has been lost to everyone but him and the old NUSA Army official documents – it exists still on his old dog tags. He buried them in his old stomping grounds in New York.

His cooling system is a combination of both liquid and fans. The liquid cooling does most of the heavy lifting, with his fans hardly audible. He can manually up their RPM if he wants them heard, for whatever reason.

His torso is warm, not scalding to the touch but enough that he can stifle the air in a smaller room if he’s in there for a time. Think of it like running a server in a room with no air flow.

Due to his brain still being organic, he does actually need sleep just not as frequently as a normal person. He can go push into a month or so without it impacting his performance or mood, but he does push himself past that milestone often enough. He gets notably more murderous the longer he goes. It affects his performance too. Yorinobu knows this, and kept Smasher busy enough that he couldn’t get a full allotted rest even if he wanted to. And yes, this is me trying to reason away why he’s such a chump in his boss fight.

#cyberpunk 2077 #Adam Smasher #yea im gonna bother the main tags with my ramblings about my fav mans #hello #i tried to look up more about the NYC bombing in '93 cos the wiki says it was a nuclear device but there's no talk about radiation #or anything lingering the the manhattan combat-zone afterwards #but fuck it #i take the bombing #and i make it WORSE #something something Silverhand creates the next Smasher after he nukes Arasaka tower and the troubles that rocked NC after mirroring NYC

1937 Gnome-Rhône AX II | France 🇫🇷

The Gnome-Rhône AX II, which was produced in France, was the direct descendant of the X model manufactured in 1935. The X model was one of the most powerful pre-war European "boxers," capable of reaching a maximum speed of up to 150 km/h and setting 108 speed and endurance records.

In 1936, Societe des Moteurs Gnome introduced the AX II, which was produced in large quantities until the end of World War II, not only by Societe des Moteurs Gnome but also by the motorcycle company Terrot in Dijon. The Gnome-Rhône AX II was utilized by armies on both sides of the front line during the war.

The AX II model features an 804cc opposed SV engine with a rating of 18.5 hp at 4000 rpm. The motorcycle's frame is stamped, and it has a 4-speed gearbox with an optional reverse gear. The first 20 to 80 models had a five-speed gearbox with a reverse gear.

Overall, the Gnome-Rhône AX II is a significant model in the history of French motorcycles, and its power, endurance, and versatility made it a popular choice among armies during World War II. Its continued production throughout the war is a testament to its reliability and durability.

1939 Sarolea 38H | Belgium 🇧🇪

Announced in 1936 by the Belgian Ministry of Defense competition to develop a heavy army motorcycle designed for communications, supply and fire support caused a stir among local motorcycle companies.

The Sarolea designers opted for sidevalve engine, which is not picky about gasoline quality and has good traction at low rpm, which is important for the army vehicle. The 974 ccm engine provides 20 hp rating required for an extremely heavy (545 kg!) machine. The engine is made short-stroke (88x80 mm), to reduce at least a little its overall width. The ignition system is from magneto.

The real technical masterpiece is motorcycle's transmission. To the engine is docked three-speed gearbox with reverse gear and rocker switch mechanism of automobile type. The transmission to the rear wheel is a cardan shaft. The rear axle has a two-stage demultiplier, with a special linkage switch. Sidecar wheel drive can be turned off, but equipped with a differential it can be used on hard ground.

As a result of army tests, Sarolea received an order to produce only 300 Model 38H motorcycles.

The PPSh-41 (Russian: Пистоле́т-пулемёт Шпа́гина, tr. Pistolét-pulemyót Shpágina-41, lit. 'Shpagin's machine-pistol-41') is a Soviet submachine gun designed by Georgy Shpagin as a cheaper and simplified alternative to the PPD-40. A common Russian nickname for the weapon is "papasha" (папа́ша), meaning "daddy", and it was sometimes called the "burp gun" because of its high fire-rate.

The PPSh is a selective-fire submachine gun using an open bolt, blowback action. Made largely of stamped steel, it can be loaded with either a box (35 rnd) or drum magazine (71 rnd) and fires the 7.62×25mm Tokarev pistol round (but it also accepts 7.63x25mm Mauser),

After the German Army captured large numbers of the PPSH-41 during World War II, a program was instituted to convert the weapon to the standard German submachine gun cartridge -9x19mm Parabellum. The Wehrmacht officially adopted the converted PPSH-41 as the "MP41" unconverted PPSH-41s were designated "MP717(r)" and supplied with: 7.63x25mm Mauser ammunition (which is dimensionally identical to 7.62x25mm Tokarev, but slightly less powerful).

German-language manuals for the use of captured PPShs were printed and distributed in the Wehrmacht. In addition to barrel replacement, converted PPSH-41s also had a magazine adapter installed, allowing them to use MP 40 magazines. The less powerful 9mm round generally reduces the cyclic rate of fire from 800 to 750 RPM. Modern aftermarket conversion kits based on the original Wehrmacht one also exist using a variety of magazines, including Sten magazines.

As standard, each PPSh-41 came with two factory-fitted drum magazines that were matched to the weapon with marked serial numbers. If drum magazines were mixed and used with different serial numbered PPSh-41, a loose fitting could result in poor retention and failure to feed. Drum magazines were superseded by a simpler PPS-42 box-type magazine holding 35 rounds, although an improved drum magazine made from 1 mm thick steel was also introduced in 1944. Although the PPSh drum magazine holds 71 rounds, misfeeding is likely to occur with more than about 65. In addition to feed issues, the drum magazine is slower and more complicated to load with ammunition than the later 35-round box magazine that increasingly supplemented the drum after 1942. While holding fewer rounds, the box magazine does have the advantage of providing a superior hold for the supporting hand.

Aww thanks a lot!<3 I always worry that my sketches are too messy to someone else to understand

I did this one during class because I couldn't resist after reading that xD( I'm not good at drawing weapons so I couldn't do a full battle scene sorry ;_;)
