Hello, This Is Stephanie and This Is Talk Tales and Trivia, the Show Where I Talk About Pop Culture and Trivia
Hello, this is Stephanie and this is talk tales and trivia, the show where I talk about pop culture and trivia. Listen here, I'm a mad researcher on pop culture and trivia and I love to give all that information to you so that you can stump your friends. It is so much fun. Listen on today's episode I am talking about the local fair. You remember the local fair when you were a child, perhaps maybe there was a local fair in your community as there is all over the world and all over this country and I want to tell you a little more about it starting right now. Well, some people say the fair is the pinnacle of their spring and summer outings and their family outings and what they do with their friends and family on perhaps a weekday night or a weekend night when there is not much going on. But let me tell you something where I grew up the fair or the local fair or the carnival was a wonderful thing to have and to do because I grew up in a neighborhood where there wasn't a lot to do, but let me start with a little history on the local fair or carnival as it's sometimes called. Well, a local fair or carnival is traveling entertainment with sideshows rides and especially one that visits places at the same time each year. Well, it's true. Every spring we would have the same fair going on. It's an event including amusement rides and sales of goods, especially for charity, a bizarre and great food, which we'll talk about a little later on.

Historic Amusement Parks and Fairground Rides Introductions to Heritage Assets Summary
Historic Amusement Parks and Fairground Rides Introductions to Heritage Assets Summary Historic England’s Introductions to Heritage Assets (IHAs) are accessible, authoritative, illustrated summaries of what we know about specific types of archaeological site, building, landscape or marine asset. Typically they deal with subjects which lack such a summary. This can either be where the literature is dauntingly voluminous, or alternatively where little has been written. Most often it is the latter, and many IHAs bring understanding of site or building types which are neglected or little understood. Many of these are what might be thought of as ‘new heritage’, that is they date from after the Second World War. With origins that can be traced to annual fairs and 18th-century pleasure grounds, and much influenced by America’s Coney Island amusement park of the 1890s, England has one of the finest amusement park and fairground ride heritages in the world. A surprising amount survives today. The most notable site is Blackpool Pleasure Beach, in Lancashire, which has an unrivalled heritage of pre-1939 fairground rides. Other early survivals in England include scenic railways at Margate and Great Yarmouth, and water splash rides in parks at Kettering, Kingston-upon-Hull and Scarborough that date from the 1920s. This guidance note has been written by Allan Brodie and edited by Paul Stamper. It is one is of several guidance documents that can be accessed HistoricEngland.org.uk/listing/selection-criteria/listing-selection/ihas-buildings/ Published by Historic England June 2015.

Danger at the Amusement Park
When an outing to an amusement park or fairground ends in tragedy, it’s essential to conduct early and thorough investigation of the ride and parties involved in its manufacture and maintenance. By || M ARK K ITRICK AND M ARK L EWIS DANGERat the Amusement Park In 2017, the Fire Ball ride at the Ohio State Fair catastrophically failed, killing our 18-year-old client Tyler Jarrell and injuring others.1 “Described as an ‘aggressive thrill’ ride, the Fire Ball swings riders from side to side like a pendulum, reaching 40 feet above the ground while spinning riders at 13 revolutions per minute.”2 Tyler was thrown 60 feet into the air and died on impact with the cement ground. An extensive investigation found that the catastrophic failure was caused by exces- sive corrosion, leading one of the pendulum ride’s gondolas (the cart that carries the ride’s passengers in a row of seats, which was fixed at the end of a metal arm) to break loose.3 People who visit amusement parks or fairgrounds buy tickets believing that Ithe rides are designed, assembled, and maintained properly; that they’ve been thoroughly inspected; that the operators are well trained; and that safety is primary. However, the amusement park industry was deregulated in 1981, resulting in no national safety standards for fixed and permanent attractions, known as the so-called “roller-coaster loophole.”4 Today, the rules and inspections vary by state.5 Further, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) has no serious oversight of the industry.6 As a result, national data on safety risks is incomplete.

Joyful Encounters: Learning to Play Well with Machines
Sandry, E and Peaty, G. 2020. Joyful Encounters: Learning to Play Well with Machines. Cultural Science Journal, cultural science 12(1), pp. 44–58. DOI: https://doi.org/10.5334/csci.137 RESEARCH Joyful Encounters: Learning to Play Well with Machines Eleanor Sandry and Gwyneth Peaty Curtin University, AU Corresponding author: Dr. Eleanor Sandry ([email protected]) Human interactions with machines, including computers, consoles, smart devices and robots, are becoming more and more a part of everyday life. However, human–machine relations are often regarded as problematic for people, their interpersonal communication and human society more broadly. This paper provides an analysis of the characteristics that constitute ‘play’ in rela- tion to video games and interactions with robots, arguing it is possible to position time spent on play with machines as valuable in itself, without requiring the outcomes more traditionally regarded as productive. Much of what is valuable in play can be seen to develop from embodied processes of communication within which humans and machines encounter and respond to one other. These encounters are often shaped by stories about the capabilities of machines and humans, while the interactions themselves go on to provoke new narratives. Although human– machine interaction can be theorized as ‘cyborg’ or ‘hybrid’, this paper argues that adopting the idea of the ‘assemblage’ is a better way recognize the flexibility of bringing disparate humans and machines together, whether in relation to playing a game or playing music. In rethinking the value of play, this paper emphasizes how people’s time spent interacting, whether with video games or robots, provides opportunities for them to learn more about themselves and others.
