  • Rhythms of Relation: Black Popular Music and Mobile Technologies
    Rhythms of Relation: Black Popular Music and Mobile Technologies Alexander G. Weheliye In this essay I focus on the singular performances of the interface between (black) subjectivity and informational technologies in popular music, ask- ing how these performances impact current definitions of the technologi- cal. After a brief examination of those aspects of mobile technologies that gesture beyond disembodied communication, I turn to the multifarious manifestations of techno-informational gadgets (especially cellular/mobile telephones) in contemporary R&B, a genre that is acutely concerned, both in content and form, with the conjuring of interiority, emotion, and affect. The genre’s emphasis on these aspects provides an occasion to analyze how technology thoroughly permeates spheres that are thought to represent the hallmarks of humanist hallucinations of humanity. I outline the extensive and intensive interdependence of contemporary (black) popular music and mobile technologies in order to ascertain how these sonic formations refract communication and embodiment and ask how this impacts rul- ing definitions of the technological. The first group of musical examples surveyed consists of recordings released between 1999 and 2001; the sec- ond set are recordings from years 2009–2010. Since ten years is almost an eternity in the constantly changing universes of popular music and mobile technologies, analyzing the sonic archives from two different historical moments allows me to stress the general co-dependence of mobiles and music without silencing the breaks that separate these “epochs.” Finally, I gloss a visual example that stages overlooked dimensions of mobile tech- nologies so as to amplify the rhythmic flow between the scopic and the sonic.

  • Star's Tribute Will Pack a Punch
    T WEST HISTORIC OMNIBUS & TRU Star’s tribute will pack a punch Budleigh’s celebrations to mark Reg Varney’s centenary are continuing in the lead-up to the much-loved actor’s birthday, including a special appearance in the town by his granddaughter. Fans of British sitcoms including The Rag Trade and On The Buses have been visiting Fairlynch Museum in their hundreds to see the 2016 exhibition which has been staged as a tribute to the actor. Entitled Our Little Clown, the museum’s displays reveal that Reg was a talented artist as well as a musician and a successful comic actor. During the weekend of Saturday 9 and Sunday 10 July visitors will be able to travel in appropriate style to Fairlynch on board an open-top double-decker 1957 vintage Bristol LDL bus. Reg’s granddaughter Leah will be in attendance on one of the days, dressed in costume as a clippie. What more could On the Buses fans want? The bus will travel around the town in a clockwise direction, starting opposite Fairlynch at 11.00 am on Saturday and Sunday. It will pause at the Public Hall to pick up more passengers, continuing along Upper Stoneborough Lane to the junction of East Budleigh Road, then turning right along Coastguard Road to return to Fairlynch. Circuits will continue on both days until the museum closes at 4.30 pm. Each circuit will take about 20 minutes, allowing for loading and offloading, the pausing places and photo shoots. The celebrations at Fairlynch will open on Friday 8 July with Punch and Judy shows at 5.30 pm and 6.30 pm, accompanied by refreshments including Pimms, served in the museum garden.

  • LWT's Pioneering Technology
    LONDON WEEKEND TELEVISION’S PIONEERING TECHNOLOGY by Phil Nott ITV in London is 65 years old in 2020, remaining vital throughout a period of external pressures as well as the changing viewing habits of the population. In this article, I look at the birth and evolution of London Weekend Television, and at the role that technology played in developing its sport and drama output. The biggest change in ITV’s history came with the franchise renewal process of 1968. As a result, the franchisees for London were two new companies - Thames Television on weekdays and London Weekend Television at weekends. LWT was a pioneering and innovative TV company. Many of the changes it introduced still have an impact today, whereas the battle to get there gives us an insight into the politics and business practices of the time. David Frost photo: via wembleyparkstudios.co.uk The story starts in 1967. The main ITV franchise holders had enjoyed prosperity since the late 1950s, with constantly increasing advertising revenues driven by the march towards consumerism. ‘You’ve never had it so good’ Prime Minister Harold Macmillan claimed at the time. Rediffusion London, the London weekday ITV company, was the dominant company. Rival ATV was split between the Midlands in the week and London at the weekends. Granada in the North was a weekday franchise that had an amicable commercial relationship with Rediffusion in London. ABC TV was the weekend TV specialist, with the franchise for both the North and the Midlands at the weekend. Its commercial wrangles were mainly with the other weekend franchise contractor ATV in London.

  • Reducing the Costs of School Transportation
    Leasing as a Budgeting Tool Series Reducing the Costs of School Transportation Lowering the Effective Annual Cost (EAC) of School Buses in New Jersey Using Lease Purchase and an Effective Resale Program Background: When the legislation was passed in 2011 that revised NJSA 39:3B-5.1 & 5.2, to lengthen the useful life of certain school buses from 12 to 15 years the “Fiscal Impact” justification was the Equivalent Annual Cost (EAC) of the bus spread out over 15 years rather than 12 would be lower. The “Fiscal Impact” also stated that; “These estimates assume that the average annual maintenance cost in years 13 through 15 are identical to the average maintenance cost in the earlier years. If the maintenance cost(s) are higher in these years, then the difference in the EAC would be decreased by the difference in the average maintenance cost”. While the intent of the revision gave school districts the ability to push out the useful life of their existing bus fleets in a time of economic need, their own “Fiscal Impact” statement raises the question about increasing maintenance costs of an aging bus fleet. Anything mechanical wears out with use and age. Should a school district’s transportation budget be spent maintaining an older bus fleet or utilized more cost effectively in transporting students? Alternative Effective Method for Reducing EAC If the intended savings anticipated by lengthening the term of bus ownership is more than offset by the increased costs of repair and maintenance of an aging bus fleet, what is a practical way to reduce the Effective Annual Cost? Let’s look at the cost variables that can affect the EAC.

This meant that, unlike the television series which were filmed in London, the filming locations would be found in close proximity to the studios on the streets of Borehamwood and the nearby village of Shenley, which is just a couple of miles to the north-east. However, each of the three films did have at least one scene shot away from the Borehamwood area, as will be revealed later. In 1971 came first On the Buses film, which was to use a number of filming locations in Borehamwood and less so in nearby Shenley. The scene where Stan is forced to undergo a test after an accident and has to drive the bus on a skidpan was filmed at London Transport’s facility in Chiswick, West London, which unfortunately closed in 1983 and the site has since been redeveloped. Mutiny on the Buses was also filmed largely in Borehamwood, incorporating locations used in the first film as well as new sites. Shenley was once more chosen as an ideal filming location for certain scenes owing to the quiet, secluded nature of the area.
