    The Court Post Office BRITISH STAMPS Her Majesty is on record as having referred to the Royal Family as ‘The Firm’ and, like any successful business, it has to process large quantities of incoming and outgoing mail. In early 2012, the authors were given the opportunity of visiting Buckingham Palace to interview The Court Postmaster, David Baxter, and this article is the result of that visit. It also contains information gleaned from a previous visit made in 2004 in instances where there have been no changes to the arrangements in place.

The work undertaken by the graduates was specifically recognised as the movie claimed a technical award for Visual Effects, and also won a BAFTA in the same category last month. Framestore, whose senior representatives collected the Oscar at the 86th Academy Awards, are world leaders in visual effects and have an outpost on the AUB campus, where some of the work was completed. The outpost is “very important” to students' development, according to the lecturer in animation at BU, Adam Redford, who also spent six months working on the film. “It can be a great opportunity for graduates to get their first job, and first taste of proper industry experience by working there,” Adam told The Bournemouth Rock. ”I felt really proud to have been involved in a film that won so many awards, especially for the visual effects. It’s a good feeling to know that you have had some input, however small, into something that has been received so positively by the visual effects community and the general public,” said Adam.

The spectacle of high- velocity 3D detritus raging past terror-struck, puny-looking astronauts stranded in space turned the Earth’s orbit into not only a site of horror but also a wasteland of hyperobjects,[1] with discarded electronics and satellite parts threatening everything that lies in the path of their ballistic whirl (see Figure 1). While the film made no environmental commentary on the long-term effect of space debris on communication systems or the broader ecological problem of long-lasting waste materials, it nevertheless projected a harrowing vision of technological breakdown, which found a thrilling articulation in the projectile aesthetics of stereoscopic cinema.

It did not put them off; indeed, the royal love of remote, cold places, and their stamina for enduring the elements and the dis- comforts of long outdoor expeditions, is legendary. earlier tourists had come north to observe the sublime; the royal Family relished the full physical experience, get- ting out into the wilds and pitting them- selves against the elements. as osborne neared completion on the Isle of Wight, Victoria and albert set their hearts Fig 3: The castle drawing room in 1857, one of 11 interior views by James Roberts on acquiring a Highland holiday home. and then, a fortuitous accident occurred: the route, to be greeted by a pageant of piping, included the neighbouring estates of Mar.
